[00:12] Ariane
    They usually don't travel
    in groups like that.
[00:15] Arc
    Lady Ariane! Are those...?!
[00:18] Ariane
    Right. They're wyverns.
[00:21] Arc
    I thought as much!
[00:23] Arc
    Those are actual, living wyverns!
[00:27] Arc
    Hi there. It's me, Arc.
[00:30] Arc
    With Lady Chiyome's intel,
[00:32] Arc
    we've learned that the kidnapped elves
    have been brought to the Holy Revlon Empire,
[00:36] Arc
    so we're making our way there.
[00:41] Ariane
    That explains why the Whispering Fowl is so reluctant to fly.
[00:44] Ariane
    We won't be able to
    contact Danka for a while.
[00:48] Arc
    Well, in that case...
[00:50] Arc
    Perhaps we should have them disperse?
[00:53] Ariane
    Disperse...?
[01:02] Ariane
    Arc, what are you doing?
[01:09] Arc
    From the mid-tier Magus class...
[01:12] Arc
    An area-of-effect lightning element spell...
[01:19] Arc
    Lightning Damper!
[01:19] Sign
    Lightning
    Damper
[01:41] Arc
    I believe that takes care of that.
[01:47] Arc
    What's the matter, Lady Ariane?! Ponta?!
[01:50] Arc
    What happened?
[01:51] Arc
    Even Whispering Fowl?
    Did you all eat something spoiled?
[01:56] Arc
    What's become of you all?!
[01:57] Carcy
    Oh?
[03:33] Ariane
    My ears are still ringing.
[03:36] Ariane
    I'd appreciate a warning before you
    use such massive magic next time.
[03:42] Arc
    F-forgive me.
[03:43] Arc
    I wasn't anticipating
    such a potent outcome.
[03:48] Ariane
    Well, it's fine.
[03:50] Ariane
    Let's move on to what comes next.
[03:55] Ariane
    The shortest route to the empire would
[03:58] Ariane
    be crossing the Xpitol River and then
    going through the Febient marshlands, but...
[04:04] Arc
    There's very little marked regarding
    the border town of Kaysehk,
[04:07] Arc
    or the routes to and from it.
[04:12] Arc
    Lady Ariane, are you
    concerned about something?
[04:17] Arc
    I've noticed it since Lady Chiyome
    brought us this information.
[04:21] Arc
    It seems to me like you're reluctant
    to travel to the Empire.
[04:26] Ariane
    You're right.
[04:28] Ariane
    Unlike Rhoden, the capture of elves
    isn't illegal in the empire.
[04:33] Ariane
    Being an elf will be even more
    dangerous than it has been so far.
[04:38] Ariane
    Even being in a town closer to the border,
    like this one, is cause for caution.
[04:42] Ariane
    I admit, it makes me nervous.
[04:44] Carcy
    Got a moment?
[04:46] Carcy
    You two are responsible for that incredible
    magic in the desert this morning, yeah?
[04:52] Arc
    Indeed we are.
[04:53] Arc
    Who might you be?
[04:55] Carcy
    My name is Carcy.
[04:57] Carcy
    Carcy Held. It's a—
[05:01] Ariane
    What kind of elf would reveal their
    ears in the middle of a human town?!
[05:07] Arc
    Lady Ariane, calm yourself!
[05:10] Hostess E10
    Carcy, will you be having your usual?
[05:13] Carchy
    I will, thanks!
[05:16] Hostess E10
    Coming up!
[05:18] Hostess E10
    It'll just be a moment.
[05:21] Customer E10
    Hey, it's Carcy.
[05:24] Customer E10
    Fancy a drink with us?
[05:26] Carcy
    I'll join you later.
[05:29] Ariane
    What's going on here?
[05:30] Carcy
    Could you let go first?
[05:36] Carcy
    I've taken a liking to this town, you see.
[05:38] Carcy
    And at this point everyone knows me.
[05:42] Carcy
    It's been ten years since I moved here.
[05:44] Ariane
    Ten years?! In a human town?
[05:47] Ariane
    How? That's...
[05:50] Carcy
    You're an elf...
[05:52] Carcy
    No, a dark elf, right?
[05:56] Carcy
    Not sure what you expect me to say.
[05:58] Carcy
    A world where humans
    and elves can co-exist...
[06:02] Carcy
    Who's to say that
    isn't the way things should be?
[06:07] Ariane
    You must be kidding!
[06:08] Ariane
    Do you realize what humans have done to us?!
[06:14] Carcy
    Well, you've got a point.
[06:15] Carcy
    But you're a dark elf,
[06:17] Carcy
    yet you're traveling
    with this human in the full plate.
[06:21] Carcy
    Add a spirit creature to the group,
    and it makes for quite a unique mix.
[06:28] Ariane
    Arc is...
[06:29] Ariane
    a special case.
[06:31] Arc
    Now then,
[06:33] Arc
    Sir Carcy, what is it
    that you wanted with us?
[06:37] Carcy
    Right.
[06:38] Carcy
    I make my living studying
    the biology of monsters.
[06:42] Carcy
    And lately,
[06:43] Carcy
    some of the specimens I've been looking
    into have proven troublesome.
[06:47] Arc
    You'd like our aid
    in capturing them, in other words?
[06:50] Carcy
    You're a sharp one.
[06:52] Carcy
    And I believe the two of you
    are strong enough to do it.
[06:55] Carcy
    Worst-case scenario, you'd only need
    to recover the bodies.
[06:59] Ariane
    Unfortunately, we've got a more
    pressing matter to attend to.
[07:04] Carcy
    How's this strike you as payment?
[07:07] Arc
    What is that?
[07:08] Carcy
    A map of the Holy Revlon Empire.
[07:12] Ariane
    Were you eavesdropping?!
[07:13] Carcy
    You need it, don't you?
[07:16] Arc
    Lady Ariane, a map showing us the way
    to the empire would prove useful...
[07:22] Carcy
    I can throw in a copy of my
    book on monster studies, as well.
[07:27] Arc
    Lady Ariane! I sincerely want that!
[07:30] Arc
    What do you say? Can we?
[07:33] Arc
    What do you say?!
[07:34] Ariane
    Fine...
[07:35] Arc
    Yes! Let's do it! Leave it to us!
[07:38] Carcy
    I thought you'd see things my way.
[07:41] Carcy
    We'll set out tomorrow morning
    from the town entrance.
[07:45] Carcy
    I'm looking forward to it.
[07:47] Carcy
    Sorry about the delay!
[07:50] Customer E10
    There you are, Carcy!
[07:52] Customer E10
    Hope you're ready to drink!
[07:53] Customer E10
    'Scuse me!
[07:58] Arc
    Will five gold coins cover our lodgings?
[08:01] Hostess E10
    Wha... One is plenty!
[08:04] Hostess E10
    Give me a second, and I'll get your change.
[08:07] Arc
    No, Madam, please keep it.
[08:10] Arc
    But in exchange,
[08:11] Arc
    I'd appreciate being allowed to
    take my food to my room...
[08:15] Hostess E10
    Of course!
[08:16] Hostess E10
    In fact, I've got something special for you.
[08:20] Hostess E10
    Take the whole barrel.
[08:22] Hostess E10
    It's good stuff, and should suit
    even a fine knight like yourself.
[08:26] Arc
    Oh, much obliged!
[08:32] Ariane
    Elves and humans co-existing, huh?
[08:39] Arc
    You seem to have trouble accepting it.
[08:41] Ariane
    A bit, yeah.
[08:43] Ariane
    When I think about what humans
    have done to us so far...
[08:49] Arc
    I doubt pondering the issue
    in this moment will provide an answer.
[08:54] Arc
    Oh, this smells lovely!
[08:58] Ariane
    And pretty strong.
[09:00] Arc
    No need to force yourself.
[09:02] Arc
    There's fruit juice, as well.
[09:05] Ariane
    D-Do not treat me like a child!
[09:07] Ariane
    It's just some liquor!
[09:14] Ariane
    How's that?!
[09:16] Arc
    Oh, drunk like a champion!
[09:19] Ariane
    And I'm ready for more, too!
[09:21] Arc
    Ah, I apologize for the delay, then.
[09:33] Arc
    Does she not realize she's doing
    that with her ears...?
[09:37] Arc
    Allow me to join you.
[09:41] Arc
    There's a volume to its sweetness,
[09:44] Arc
    as well a hint of vanilla aroma!
[09:47] Arc
    Even a single sip is joyful...
[09:51] Arc
    Truly delicious!
[09:53] Arc
    Although, a bit on the strong side.
[09:56] Ariane
    Arrrc....
[10:00] Arc
    Lady Ariane?!
[10:02] Ariane
    Arrrc...
[10:12] Ariane
    Hey...
[10:14] Ariane
    Give me some.
[10:17] Ariane
    I... want... more....
[10:21] Arc
    Lady Ariane, was two glasses all it took?!
[10:25] Ariane
    Are you listening, Arc?!
[10:28] Arc
    She's totally hammered!
[10:33] Ariane
    What even ish "a world where elvsh
    and humansh can live together"?!
[10:38] Arc
    That really did get to her!
[10:41] Arc
    Lady Ariane, perhaps you've
    had enough for tonight...
[10:45] Ariane
    Whachu shay to me, you shtupid bonehead?!
[10:49] Ariane
    What'sh dat, baldie?!
[10:52] Hostess
    Oh, my...
[10:54] Ariane
    Elvsh and humansh living together?!
[10:59] Ariane
    Shyeah right!
[11:12] Ariane
    Huh... I think I was drinking with Arc...
[11:19] Ariane
    And then...
[11:21] Ariane
    Ow, my head...
[11:29] Ariane
    A skeleton!
[11:33] Arc
    W-Wait, Lady Ariane!
[11:35] Ariane
    I call upon the flames
    to rain down upon our foes!
[11:43] Hostess
    Good morning.
[11:45] Hostess
    Did you two enjoy yourselves last night?
[11:48] Ariane
    Nothing happened...
[11:50] Ariane
    Nothing happened, right?!
[11:54] Arc
    You know, proprietress...
[11:56] Arc
    There is little as fearsome
    as a woman freed from restraint.
[12:03] Hostess
    Oh, you!
[12:13] Arc
    I apologize for our tardiness, Sir Carcy.
[12:16] Carcy
    Hey, good morning.
[12:19] Carcy
    Arc, Ariane, you two will be
    joining me in the lead wagon.
[12:24] Carcy
    The rear one will carry my friend.
[12:27] Arc
    Understood.
[12:28] Carcy
    You two were certainly
    rather intense last night.
[12:32] Carcy
    The entire town heard you.
[12:37] Ariane
    I could kill him...
[12:38] Arc
    Lady Ariane!

SIGN    Hope for the Future Found in the Desert
[12:57] Arc
    It seems the combination of a hangover
    and motion sickness is devastating...
[13:01] Ariane
    And the smell coming
    from the cart is just making it worse.
[13:07] Ariane
    Sir Carcy, what is being
    hauled in that cart?
[13:11] Carcy
    Oh, that...
[13:14] Carcy
    Goblin carcasses.
[13:16] Carcy
    We'll be using those as bait
    for the sand worm.
[13:19] Carcy
    The stronger the stench,
    the more effective it will be.
[13:23] Arc
    And this sand worm creature...
[13:26] Carcy
    Right, it's what we're trying to capture.
[13:29] Carcy's Friend
    Sir Knight!
[13:32] Carcy's Friend
    That tea sobers folks right up.
[13:34] Carcy's Friend
    Works wonders with hangovers
    and motion sickness, as well.
[13:38] Arc
    Oh, my thanks.
[13:47] Carcy
    Still nervous around humans, Ariane?
[13:50] Ariane
    I wouldn't exactly say that.
[13:52] Carcy
    You can relax.
[13:54] Carcy
    He might look sinister,
    but he's a good person.
[13:58] Carcy's Friend
    Real nice, Carcy!
[14:00] Carcy's Friend
    Don't expect any more tea from me!
[14:04] Carcy
    Sorry, sorry.
[14:07] Arc
    Lady Ariane.
[14:18] Ariane
    It's good.
[14:28] Arc
    I must ask, Sir Carcy.
[14:30] Arc
    I'd like to know more about this sand worm.
[14:34] Carcy
    Right, good point.
[14:36] Carcy
    The one that I'm tracking right now...
[14:40] Carcy
    It's about four to five meters long.
[14:42] Carcy
    During the day, it rests deep underground,
[14:45] Carcy
    and in the evening and night
    it surfaces to scavenge corpses.
[14:49] Carcy
    It's weak to flame, incidentally,
[14:51] Carcy
    but since we're trying to capture it,
[14:54] Carcy
    I'd like to avoid using
    fire as much as possible.
[14:59] Carcy
    Another thing I've discovered recently
[15:03] Carcy
    is that it tends to gravitate
    towards flocks of wyverns.
[15:08] Arc
    Then it may have been
    nearby earlier as well.
[15:13] Carcy
    I'm certain if I can learn more
    about it during this expedition,
[15:16] Carcy
    we'll be able to prevent it from
    causing as many casualties in the future.
[15:19] Carcy
    That's the reason I study monsters.
[15:23] Arc
    Magnificent!
[15:24] Arc
    I would love to hear what you
    have learned about other monsters.
[15:29] Carcy
    It'd be my pleasure...
[15:30] Carcy
    What kind has caught your fancy?
[15:31] Ariane
    Ridiculous...
[15:32] Arc
    Ah, where to begin?
[15:33] Arc
    Is there anything big, but fast, that can fly,
    that shines like metal, that can breathe fire?!
[15:35] Ariane
    Where've the cart and the other wagon gone?!
[15:37] Ariane
    Carcy, the wagons are gone!
[15:37] Carcy
    Well, that sounds like...
[15:39] Carcy
    What?!
[15:46] Ariane
    H-How is this four to five meters?!
[15:48] Arc
    It's easily 30, at least.
[15:50] Carcy
    Impossible...
[15:51] Carcy
    I've never seen a specimen this huge before!
[15:57] Ariane
    This is bad!
[15:58] Arc
    Lady Ariane!
[16:00] Carcy's Friend
    Stay back!
[16:02] Ariane
    Fire, I implore you.
[16:07] Ariane
    Surge from this sword, and burst forth!
[16:12] Ariane
    It can't be... It's supposed
    to be weak against fire!
[16:16] Ariane
    That had no effect all!
[16:18] Ariane
    No—
[16:24] Arc
    Are you all right, Lady Ariane?
[16:26] Ariane
    Arc!
[16:30] Arc
    Leave the rest to me.
[16:31] Arc
    Hurry and get him to safety!
[16:33] Ariane
    Right!
[16:43] Arc
    Quite the powerful beast.
[16:46] Carcy
    Arc, we're all in the clear!
[16:49] Arc
    Understood!
[16:52] Arc
    Now, then...
[16:53] Arc
    It's time for a test of strength.
[16:56] Carcy
    This is bad.
[16:58] Carcy
    He can't draw his sword in that position.
[17:20] Carcy's Friend
    Bloody hell...
[17:23] Ariane
    He swung it around...
[17:24] Carcy
    That is... impressive.
[17:29] Arc
    Hey, will that do?
[17:32] Carcy
    More than sufficient, yes.
[17:41] Carcy
    Here's the reward you were promised.
[17:45] Arc
    This is it!
[17:46] Carcy
    You've been a huge help.
[17:48] Carcy
    I hate to think what would've happened
    if I hadn't run into you two.
[17:52] Arc
    I'm glad we were able to help.
[17:55] Arc
    I suppose that brings
    this matter to a close.
[17:58] Arc
    Well, let us set out, Lady Ariane.
[18:03] Arc
    Lady Ariane...?
[18:06] Ariane
    Can I ask you something?
[18:10] Ariane
    Why do you live among humans?
[18:16] Carcy
    Because I love them, I suppose.
[18:18] Ariane
    You love... humans?
[18:20] Carcy
    Right.
[18:22] Carcy
    I'll admit, when I lived in an elf village,
[18:25] Carcy
    I didn't have the best impression of them.
[18:29] Carcy
    But once I started living among them,
[18:31] Carcy
    they were different from what I imagined.
[18:34] Carcy
    Not to say it's always been easy, but...
[18:37] Carcy
    This is how I feel now:
[18:40] Carcy
    A time will come where humans
    and elves can live hand-in-hand.
[18:47] Ariane
    I can't really imagine a future like that.
[18:51] Carcy
    Really?
[18:52] Carcy
    You haven't heard about Lamburt, then?
[18:55] Arc
    Lamburt?
[18:57] Ariane
    It's a port city in
    the west of the Rhoden Kingdom.
[19:01] Ariane
    What about it?
[19:03] Carcy
    This is news that I heard the other day...
[19:06] Carcy
    The lord of Lamburt
    took an elf as his bride.
[19:15] Ariane
    How is that possible?! Is it coercion?!
[19:17] Ariane
    She's being forced to marry him, isn't she?!
[19:20] Carcy
    No, she was on the verge of being sold
    into slavery when the lord set her free.
[19:24] Carcy
    And since then, they've developed
    feelings for each other, apparently.
[19:31] Carcy
    They've spoken about
[19:34] Carcy
    how they'd like to work to improve
    relations between humans and elves.
[19:49] Ariane
    Say, Arc...
[19:51] Ariane
    That kind of future, for elves and humans...
[19:55] Ariane
    Do you think it's really possible?
[19:57] Arc
    Who can say?
[19:59] Arc
    But the individuals who make up both races
    are numerous, with their own thoughts and opinions.
[20:04] Arc
    Perhaps not collectively, but many among
    both may choose co-existence one day...
[20:09] Arc
    Much like we have.
[20:14] Ariane
    You hardly look like a human,
    so I'd say you don't count, Arc!
[20:18] Arc
    Well, despite appearances,
    I do consider myself to be one.
[20:23] Arc
    Why would you deny that, Ponta?!
[20:33] Imperial E10
    I'd heard there were a number
    of disappearances in town lately...
[20:38] Imperial E10
    I take it that's your doing.
[20:40] Fumba
    I've only been using crooks
    and slaves as feed for them, haven't I?
[20:45] Fumba
    Well, mostly.
[20:47] Imperial E10
    Y-you're going too far...
[20:50] Imperial E10
    Sir Fumba!
[20:51] Woman A E10
    Aw...
[20:52] Imperial E10
    A-And this place is supposed to be a secret,
[20:55] Imperial E10
    yet you bring these whores
    here to... fraternize?
[20:58] Imperial E10
    What were you thinking?!
[21:01] Woman B E10
    Oh...
[21:02] Fumba
    I get my work done, don't I?
[21:05] Fumba
    Emperor Domitianus won't mind if I—
[21:07] Imperial E10
    S-such impudence!
[21:09] Imperial E10
    Do not speak His Imperial Highness's name!
[21:11] Fumba
    Oh, sorry about that.
[21:13] Fumba
    Still, you lot are the ones
    who wanted my help, right?
[21:20] Imperial E10
    And what of our planned attack?
[21:26] Fumba
    Walk this way.
[21:38] Fumba
    They're looking a bit hungry, I'd say.
[21:42] Woman B E10
    No!
[21:50] Woman B E10
    No—
[21:53] Fumba
    Don't eat so fast.
[21:56] Fumba
    You'll get bones stuck
    in your throats, you hear?
