[00:27] Marca
    Every morning, Mother heads
    to the field as the sun comes up.
[00:39] Marca
    "I need help with picking medicinal herbs."
[00:43] Marca
    "Thank you very much."
[00:46] Marca
    There!
[00:50] Marca
    She always works her
    hardest for Helina and me.
[00:55] Marca
    Which is why...
[02:33] Arc
    Hi there. It's me, Arc.
[02:35] Arc
    And my momentous first job is going to
    be guarding someone collecting medicinal herbs.
[02:44] Guard
    Oh, you mean Seona's place.
[02:47] Guard
    It's just beyond the plaza.
[02:58] Arc
    It's the perfect kind of dull but meaningful job
[03:02] Arc
    for a guy trying to keep a low profile.
[03:09] Kid A E2
    Let's head over there!
[03:10] Kid B E2
    Go!
[03:11] Ark
    What a nice, peaceful place.
[03:16] Ark
    This must be it.
[03:22] Marca
    Helina, come here.
[03:23] Marca
    You've got crumbs all over your mouth.
[03:27] Helina
    Fhank yoo.
[03:36] Marca
    Coming!
[03:37] Marca
    How can I help...
[03:40] Marca
    you?!
[03:43] Marca
    A-A knight?
[03:46] Marca
    I-Is there anything I can do for you...?
[03:49] Arc
    Is Miss Marca available?
[03:52] Marca
    Huh?
[03:53] Marca
    U-Um, I'm Marca, actually.
[03:56] Arch
    Oh, it's you.
[03:58] Arch
    I've come to accept the job that was posted.
[04:00] Marca
    D-Do you mean... my request?
[04:04] Arc
    Indeed.
[04:06] Arc
    The request for protection
    while picking herbs.
[04:10] (Flashback) Receptionist
    The guard job for picking
    herbs over in Rata Village?
[04:13] (Flashback) Receptionist
    You're serious about this?
[04:16] (Flashback) Receptionist
    You'd be able to take much bigger jobs
    if you joined up with a mercenary guild, y'know.
[04:21] Arc
    Heck no!
[04:22] Arc
    I'm not doing anything
    that risks exposing my identity.
[04:25] (Flashback) Arc
    Well, I've got a bit
    of an interest in herb picking.
[04:29] (Flashback) Arc
    It should prove amusing.
[04:30] (Flashback) Receptionist
    Is that right?
[04:32] (Flashback) Receptionist
    Well, make sure you're
    gentle with the client.
[04:36] (Flashback) Arc
    Gentle?
[04:38] Marca
    Here you go.
[04:40] Arc
    Well, that explains what he meant...
[04:43] Marca
    I'm sorry,
[04:44] Marca
    but does someone as impressive as you
[04:47] Marca
    really want to accept my job, Sir Knight...?
[04:50] Arc
    I do.
[04:51] Arc
    In fact, I've got a bit
    of an interest in picking herbs.
[04:54] Marca
    Thank goodness!
[04:56] Arc
    Plus, this is the exact kind
    of early-game quest you start with!
[05:01] Marca
    Huh?
[05:02] Arc
    My apologies! It's a personal matter.
[05:04] Arc
    Now, regarding the specifics of the job...
[05:09] Marca
    Um, Sir Knight?
[05:11] Marca
    is it all right if we head out right now?
[05:13] Arc
    Right away? That's not a problem, but...
[05:16] Marca
    Wonderful!
[05:18] Marca
    Let me just get ready!
[05:31] Arc
    Miss Marca, is this job
    a matter of some urgency?
[05:36] Arc
    The posting mentioned how fanged boars
[05:40] Arc
    have been appearing around the village,
    necessitating protection...
[05:44] Arc
    But I'm curious
    as to the reason for your haste.
[05:49] Marca
    My mother will be coming home soon.
[05:52] Marca
    And if she knew, she'd be against it...
[05:55] Arc
    She would?
[05:56] Marca
    Yeah.
[05:57] Marca
    So please don't tell her.
[05:59] Arc
    But why?
[06:02] Marca
    My father died last year...
[06:05] Marca
    And Mother has been
    raising us by herself since.
[06:09] Arc
    That's quite admirable.
[06:12] Marca
    Picking herbs was Father's job...
[06:15] Marca
    So I thought it'd help
    if I could do it for her instead.
[06:24] Marca
    I want to make her happy.
[06:27] Arc
    Talk about noble!
[06:29] Arc
    And she's still a little girl!
[06:32] Arc
    All I did when I was her age
    was play video games...
[06:37] Arc
    Still did that after growing up, actually.
[06:41] Marca
    Um, Sir Knight...?
[06:43] Arc
    Then let us gather many herbs,
    so that your mother will be pleased.
[06:48] Marca
    Right!
[07:01] Arc
    This is quite deep into the woods.
[07:03] Marca
    Look here, Sir Knight!
[07:07] Marca
    This one is called cocora.
[07:09] Marca
    It helps with cuts and scrapes,
    and is good for the skin.
[07:16] Marca
    And you can burn this flower
    to keep bugs away.
[07:21] Arc
    You're quite knowledgeable, Miss Marca.
[07:23] Marca
    No ledge a bull...?
[07:25] Arc
    You're like a teacher, is what I meant.
[07:30] Marca
    Father taught me all kinds of things!
[07:33] Marca
    If we go a bit further in,
    there's a kobumi tree!
[07:37] Marca
    This way, come on!
[07:41] Arc
    Miss Marca, get back!
[07:47] Arc
    I can sense something. It may be...
[07:58] Arc
    A monster!
[08:08] Arc
    A multi-tailed kitsune...
    No, a flying squirrel?
[08:12] Arc
    It's hurt.
[08:16] Marca
    That looks painful.
[08:17] Arc
    Come on. It's okay, don't be afraid.
[08:25] Arc
    See? Nothing to be afraid of.
[08:28] Arc
    It was scared of us.
[08:31] Arc
    This is going to be my first time
    trying this since I got here.
[08:33] Arc
    Let's see if it works.
[08:36] Marca
    Sir Knight?
[08:39] Arc
    Heal.
SIGN    Heal
[08:47] Marca
    W-Wow! You know how to use healing spells!
[08:53] Marca
    You're just like a priest!
[08:55] Arc
    I made good use of that monk skill.
[09:02] Marca
    It's so cute!
[09:03] Marca
    And it knows you helped it, too.
[09:07] Arc
    I'm just glad it's feeling better.
[09:09] Arc
    Go on, head back to where you came from.
[09:15] Marca
    Maybe it wants to follow you?
[09:19] Arc
    Uh, I see...
[09:21] Marca
    You should give it a name!
[09:25] Arc
    Green... kitsune....
[09:28] Arc
    In that case...!
[09:29] Arc
    How about "Fried Tofu" or "Tempura"?
[09:33] Marca
    I don't think it likes those.
[09:35] Arc
    In that case...
[09:38] Arc
    It's tail is fluffy like
    a dandelion, or tanpopo...
[09:43] Arc
    We mix that up for Ponta?
[09:47] Arc
    You like that, huh, Ponta?
[09:50] Marca
    Good for you, Ponta!
[09:53] Arc
    It seems my journey now
    has an unexpected companion.
[09:55] Marca
    Let's go a bit further in!
[09:58] Arc
    Right.
[10:02] Villager A E2
    What are you whining about?
[10:04] Villager A E2
    They're just some fanged boars.
[10:06] Hunter
    Those weren't fanged boars!
[10:09] Hunter
    I've been a hunter a long time,
    and I've never seen anything like it...
[10:13] Hunter
    We're better off avoiding
    the forest from now on.
[10:17] Guard
    Oh, Mrs. Seona!
[10:21] Guard
    Did you send Marca on some kind of errand?
[10:25] Seona
    No?
[10:26] Seona
    Marca should be at home,
    watching the house...
[10:29] Guard
    Well, there's supposed to
    be big monsters in the woods now.
[10:32] Guard
    And this morning,
    I saw Marca leaving the village.
[10:37] Guard
    But she had this fancy-looking knight with her,
[10:40] Guard
    so I don't think you have to worry...
[10:41] Seona
    Marca!
[10:56] Marca
    This is it!
[11:11] Arc
    This slope is a bit perilous.
[11:14] Arc
    Miss Marca, let's find a safe route down...
[11:18] Arc
    Look—
[11:20] Arc
    out?
[11:21] Marca
    Yes! I knew it!
[11:24] Marca
    It's in full bloom!
[11:26] Marca
    The kobumi tree is all white!
[11:29] Marca
    Just Look at it, Sir Knight!
[11:31] Arc
    I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.
[11:38] Arc
    Halt, Miss Marca!

[12:27] Arc
    Are you hurt, Miss Marca?
[12:30] Marca
    Sir Knight!
[12:45] Arc
    Poison fog?
[12:54] Arc
    A giant basilisk.
[12:56] Arc
    Spits poisonous fog,
    has paralyzing claws, and can petrify...
[12:59] Arc
    A monster with a whole arsenal
    of status effect skills.
[13:03] Arc
    A player in one of the mid-tier
    classes would have trouble...
[13:55] Arc
    But as long as I am cautious,
    I can deal with it!

    Or was I trying too hard?

    Well, whatever the case,
[15:21] Arc
    it looks like my second monster
    slain was a giant basilisk!
[15:29] Marca
    A-Amazing...
[15:32] Arc
    You can rest easy now, Miss Marca.
[15:35] Marca
    That was incredible, Sir Knight!
[15:37] Arc
    I've only done what's
    expected of your guard.
[15:41] Marca
    Everyone in town will be surprised!
[15:43] Arc
    They... will?
[15:46] Marca
    Of course!
[15:47] Marca
    I bet we'll all be celebrating tonight!
[15:50] Arc
    Oh, no!
[15:52] Arc
    F-Forgive me, but...
[15:54] Arc
    Can you keep the specifics
    of this creature's death a secret?

    But...

    Please.
[16:02] Marca
    I understand.
[16:04] Marca
    If you insist, Sir Knight...
[16:08] Arc
    You have my gratitude.
[16:13] Arc
    What's that ring?
[16:24] Marca
    S-So scary...
[16:26] Arc
    The fanged boars that have been
    showing up near the village
[16:30] Arc
    may have been chased there by this beast.
[16:33] Marca
    It's much scarier than any old boar.
[16:36] Marca
    Grr, grr!
[16:36] Arc
    Miss Marca.
[16:38] Arc
    Is that one of the fanged boars in question?
[16:41] Marca
    Y-Yes!
[16:43] Arc
    I see.
[16:44] Arc
    Then we'll make him
    into a gift for the village!
[16:53] Villager B E2
    Sir Knight, where'd
    this fanged boar come from?
[16:58] Arc
    I'll be taking the fangs
    and rune stone as my reward,
[17:00] Arc
    but could you see about tanning the hide?
[17:02] Arc
    I intend to hand it over to Miss Marca.
[17:05] Marca
    Really?
[17:06] Marca
    Hooray!
[17:08] Arc
    The meat should be shared
    among the villagers.
[17:11] Marca
    Sir Knight was really strong, you know!
[17:15] Seona
    Marca!
[17:21] Marca
    Mother...
[17:25] Marca
    I'm sorry.
[17:30] Marca
    Mother?
[17:33] Seona
    I'm just glad you're all right.
[17:36] Seona
    So very much...
[17:41] Seona
    But Marca, why did you go into the woods?
[17:44] Seona
    Didn't I tell you not to leave the village?
[17:48] Marca
    I...
[17:50] Marca
    I gathered these.
[17:53] Seona
    Marca, you...
[17:57] Arc
    Madam.
[17:59] Arc
    I apologize.
[18:00] Arc
    I should have thought more carefully of it.
[18:03] Arc
    It was careless of me to take Miss Marca
    into the woods without consulting you.
[18:09] Seona
    Oh, no, that's...
[18:11] Arc
    I would ask that you not scold her, please.
[18:15] Arc
    I've never met a child
    who cares more for her mother.
[18:21] Seona
    I know. And thank you.
[18:25] Guard
    I'm curious, Sir Knight,
    did you run into any danger?
[18:31] Guard
    There's been word of a truly
    fearsome monster in the forest today.
[18:36] Arc
    Oh, no,
[18:38] Arc
    there was nothing
    in the woods I couldn't handle,
[18:41] Arc
    so I wouldn't worry.
[18:43] Guard
    That's good to hear.
[18:45] Hunter
    You're really lucky not to have run
    into the abomination, Sir Knight.
[18:50] Arc
    Indeed I am! Truly lucky!
[18:53] Arc
    Isn't that right, Miss Marca?
[18:56] Marca
    Yes!
[19:05] Marca
    Sir Knight, thank you again.
[19:09] Arc
    No, you taught me
    a great deal today, Miss Marca.
[19:16] Helina
    Sir Knight, here!
[19:21] Arc
    Oh, what have we here?
    Is this for me?
[19:25] Helina
    Yeah!
[19:27] Helina
    There.
[19:30] Arc
    I can't imagine a greater reward.
[19:37] Marca
    Take care, Ponta.
[19:41] Arc
    Well, I suppose I should be on my way.
[19:49] Marca
    Um, Sir Knight?
[19:53] Marca
    Will I ever see you again?
[19:56] Arc
    Surely, some day.

    Archers! Fire!

    End it now! Lancers, charge!

    Hooray!
[20:35] Soldiers E2
    We won!
[20:36] Soldiers E2
    Yes!
[20:41] Giovanni
    The casualties amount to 15 dead
    and 38 injured.
[20:45] Soldiers E2
    Could you look at this?
[20:47] Horcos
    That's worse than expected,
    even for dealing with an eight-meter basilisk.
[20:52] Giovanni
    Yes, it was an extremely
    powerful specimen...
[20:56] Giovanni
    And there's one other bit of news.
[21:09] Horcos
    There was another?!
[21:11] Giovanni
    Yes.
[21:12] Giovanni
    It seems to have been
    slain with a single blow.
[21:14] Giovanni
    Not only that,
[21:15] Giovanni
    but it seems to have been
    delivered by a single individual...
[21:18] Horcos
    Someone slayed that beast by themselves?
[21:21] Horcos
    Unbelievable.
[21:23] Horcos
    And with a single strike...?
[21:29] Horcos
    They'd have to be a god. Or perhaps...
[21:33] Horcos
    the devil himself.
[21:38] Arc
    Ponta, looks like we've
    safely completed another job.
[21:43] Arc
    Monsters, huh...?
[21:46] Arc
    I want to keep a low profile.
[21:49] Arc
    And that hasn't changed, but...
[21:59] Arc
    Maybe I should try a more
    challenging quest tomorrow!
