[00:02] Ariane
    Strong...
[00:03] Ariane
    I seek to be stronger than anyone else.
[00:06] Ariane
    The pact between the humans and us elves
    is little more than a farce at this point.
[00:14] Ariane
    They continue to expand into our lands,
[00:18] Ariane
    and in this world filled with
    deceit and injustice,
[00:21] Ariane
    there exists no one
    to offer us any salvation.
[00:25] Ariane
    Which is why I must be a warrior.
[00:29] Ariane
    As daughter of our leader,
    and for the sake of my oppressed kindred.
[00:43] Arc
    But...
[00:44] Ariane
    My encounter with this
    warrior in silver armor
[00:47] Ariane
    marks a new direction for my destiny.
[02:31] Arc
    And where do you think you're going?
[02:34] Bandit A E3
    Bloody hell, what is that thing?!
[02:37] Bandit B E3
    He got the others!
[02:39] Bandit C E3
    He's a monster!
[02:55] Arc
    Hi there. It's me, Arc.
[02:58] Arc
    And right about now, I've gotten used to
[03:00] Arc
    running casual quests in order
    to cover my daily expenses.
[03:10] Arc
    One group of brigands, dealt with.
[03:23] Arc
    Well, well!
[03:25] Arc
    It seems these rogues
    have quite a war chest.
[03:29] Arc
    There's no doubt they were up
    to all manner of villainy.
[03:34] Arc
    Cages?
[03:41] Arc
    No matter.
[03:43] Arc
    Let's take what's for the taking
    and head home, Ponta.
[03:54] Tryton
    Let's hear your report, Celsika.
[03:58] Celsika
    Sir.
[03:58] Celsika
    The attempt to assassinate
    Lord Luvierte's daughter, Lauren,
[04:02] Celsika
    has apparently failed.
[04:04] Tryton
    How were they unable
    to kill that little girl?
SIGN    Lord of Diento,
    Tryton du Diento
[04:08] Tryton
    I had heard they were supposed to
    be good at their jobs!
[04:13] Celsika
    They were able to kill all of her escorts,
[04:15] Celsika
    but apparently a passing,
    solitary mercenary wiped them out.
[04:19] Tryton
    A single mercenary did this?!
[04:22] Tryton
    What a worthless bunch of bastards.
[04:25] Tryton
    I suppose all bandits are
    the same in the end...
[04:28] Tryton
    What about those beasts from the Eastern Empire
    that we set onto the Luvierte lands?
[04:35] Celsika
    According to our contact from the east,
[04:37] Celsika
    those creatures were still
    in an experimental phase,
[04:41] Celsika
    resulting in the two basilisks
    not working well together,
[04:43] Celsika
    leading them to be individually slain.
[04:46] Tryton
    Even if they weren't together at the time,
[04:49] Tryton
    for monsters like that to be beaten...
[04:52] Celsika
    Might I ask why Prince Dakares
    is targeting the Luvierte in the first place?
[04:57] Tryton
    Who can say?
[04:58] Tryton
    Maybe it's a request from His Highness's
    backers in the Eastern Empire.
[05:03] Tryton
    If the lands in the north of the kingdom
    were under the prince's control,
[05:07] Tryton
    the east would be able to focus
    completely on their invasion of the west.
[05:14] Celsika
    It is true that the Luvierte have the backing
    of the Western Empire's Prince Sekt.
[05:21] Celsika
    And that means we can't afford to have our
    allegiance to Prince Dakares come to light.
[05:28] Tryton
    Yeah.
[05:29] Tryton
    If that happened, Prince Sekt
    would be breathing down our necks.
[05:33] Tryton
    More importantly,
    see about securing our product.
[05:37] Tryton
    They need to be ready
    to be sent to market, soon.
[05:39] Tryton
    And no matter what you do,
[05:41] Tryton
    don't do anything that could
    catch the ear of Princess Yuriarna.
[05:44] Celsika
    I'm well aware.
[05:46] Tryton
    And have you seen that idiot boy of mine?
[05:50] Celsika
    If you're looking for Master Udolan, he said
    he would be escorting the product today.
[05:55] Tryton
    That imbecile!
[05:57] Tryton
    He's just going to get in the way...
[05:59] Tryton
    No matter, leave me.
[06:07] Tryton
    Why?!
[06:08] Tryton
    Why is nothing ever simple?!
[06:18] Arc
    Nothing beats fleecing the
    ill-gotten gains of villains, eh, Ponta?
[06:24] Arc
    Come on, let's head back to town
    and have ourselves a feast of a dinner.
[06:36] Arc
    A surviving bandit?
[06:41] Arc
    So fast!
[06:49] Arc
    Where have I seen this girl before?
[06:52] Arc
    It's that elf!
[06:58] Ariane
    You will return the children you've taken!
[07:02] Arc
    S-Stay your hand!
    I don't know what you mean!
[07:05] Ariane
    You'd play dumb?
[07:06] Arc
    This is some kind of misunderstanding!
[07:09] Arc
    Let's discuss the matter!
[07:10] Ariane
    I have nothing to say to a human,
    much less a bandit!
[07:15] Arc
    Do I look like a bandit to you?!
[07:19] Ariane
    To think a knight would
    lower himself to banditry..
[07:22] Arc
    Wrong!
[07:24] Ariane
    No more talk!
[07:34] Ariane
    A ventu vulpis?
[07:37] Vent
    Vent a what now?
[07:39] Ariane
    Why?
[07:40] Ariane
    Why would a spirit creature be
    with a mere bandit...?
[07:44] Arc
    Ponta, were you a spirit all along?
[07:48] Ariane
    A spirit creature, not a spirit.
[07:51] Ariane
    Specifically, a cottontail fox.
[07:54] Ariane
    Spirit creatures are known to be cautious,
[07:57] Ariane
    and rarely even take a liking to elves.
[07:59] Ariane
    So to see one with a human...
[08:02] Arc
    She took a liking
    to me after I helped her out.
[08:06] Arc
    She's keeping me company for now.
[08:09] Ariane
    One who communes with spirit creatures, eh?
[08:17] Arc
    S-Something wrong?
[08:21] Ariane
    It seems you're not the liar I took you for.
[08:26] Ariane
    I apologize for attacking you so suddenly.
[08:29] Arc
    As long as you understand now.
[08:32] Arc
    I had actually been
    fighting bandits for a job.
[08:35] Arc
    What brings you here?
[08:36] Ariane
    I had heard that the bandits
    who operate here had been hunting elves.
[08:43] Arc
    Hunting... elves?
[08:46] Arc
    Oh, that's what that was.
[08:50] Arc
    Unfortunately, there were no captive elves
    to be found inside of that cave.
[08:57] Ariane
    I'm too late, then.
[09:00] Arc
    What did they intend to do
    with the elves they had captured?
[09:06] Ariane
    Elves fetch a high price
    on the slave markets.
[09:09] Ariane
    Surely you know that.
[09:12] Arc
    Can't say I do.
[09:15] Ariane
    Very well, then. Excuse me.
[09:18] Arc
    Wait a moment!
[09:19] Arc
    The truth is,
    you're the first elf I've ever met.
[09:24] Arc
    If you could use some assistance,
    I'd be glad to offer it.
[09:26] Ariane
    That won't be necessary.
[09:30] Ariane
    This is an issue for elves to deal with.
[09:33] Ariane
    I would not ask the help
    of men, silver knight.
[09:38] Arc
    Hey...
[09:42] Arc
    Doesn't need my help, huh?
[09:45] Arc
    Still, any way you slice it...
[09:47] Arc
    This is one of those event quests
    where you help out a beautiful elf girl!
[09:51] Arc
    And no gamer would pass that up!
[10:11] Arc
    Be that as it may...
[10:16] Arc
    She barely spoke to me at all,
    much less told me her name.
[10:21] Arc
    How do I find that elf again?
[10:25] Arc
    Still!
[10:27] Arc
    That girl was the first
    elf I've ever spoken to!
[10:30] Arc
    I can't just give up now.
[10:35] Arc
    Okay!
[10:37] Arc
    Ponta, I know what we're
    going to do tomorrow.

[11:04] Arc
    The Elf Forest should be around here.
[11:06] Arc
    It's a lot more dense than
    the forest I visited with Miss Marca...
[11:14] Arc
    According to the guild, there should be
    plenty of elves living in these woods.
[11:22] Arc
    What's the matter, Ponta?
[11:24] Goon A E3
    One of them got away!
[11:26] Goon B E3
    Catch her!
[11:28] Arc
    Ponta.
[11:29] Arc
    It looks like these bones
    have caught their dog.
[11:32] Arc
    We may have lost that girl,
    but we've come across something else.
[11:40] Goon B
    Wait!
[11:43] Goon A
    You gonna run off without your friends?
[11:47] Goon A
    I caught her, Mr. Udolan!
[11:49] Udolan
    Get the shackles on her.
[11:51] Goon A
    Yes, sir!
[11:52] Udolan
    Aw, another brat?
[12:02] Udolan
    How am I supposed to have any fun now?
[12:08] Udolan
    What's that look supposed to mean? Huh?
[12:12] Udolan
    Do you get the position you're in?
[12:19] Udolan
    Say, why don't you beg me?
[12:22] Udolan
    Do a good job and maybe
    I'll spare your friends.
[12:29] Elf A
    U-Um... please...
[12:32] Udolan
    Re-jected!
[12:42] Goon A
    Mr. Udolan, we're meant to sell them...
[12:47] Udolan
    You telling me what to do?!
[12:49] Udolan
    You people work for my father!
[12:52] Udolan
    Do I need to tell him about this?!
[12:53] Goon A
    Real sorry, sir.
[12:55] Udolan
    Hurry up and load these bloody
    brats into the cart already.
[12:59] Goon A
    Sir!
[13:04] Arc
    I guess those are the elf hunters...
[13:07] Arc
    Seems like they don't treat
    other races like people.
[13:11] Arc
    It's like something out
    of the age of exploration...
[13:14] Goon A
    Make sure to find any elves
    that are missing!
[13:17] Goon A
    We don't have nearly enough
    to bring to the market!
[13:20] Udolan
    Go on, better run before I stab you.
[13:25] Arc
    That girl said that I should
    stay out of elf issues, but...
[13:32] Arc
    I can't just stand back and ignore this!
[13:45] Arc
    Oh, here we go!
[13:52] Ariane
    I have you now.
[13:53] Udolan
    Wh-Who are you?
[13:55] Ariane
    I'll be taking those children back.
[13:58] Goon A
    Mr. Udolan, she's a dark elf.
[14:01] Goon A
    A rare find!
[14:03] Goon A
    She'll fetch a high price.
[14:06] Udolan
    I'm not into feisty women. Do what you want.
[14:20] Goon B
    In that case...
[14:22] Goon B
    We'll just have to show
    her a good time instead...
[14:29] Goon B
    M-My arm!
[14:39] Udolan
    Wh-What the hell is she?!
[14:42] Goon A
    No doubt about it,
    she's one of them elf warriors!
[15:06] Arc
    That elf really is strong.
[15:09] Arc
    She said she didn't need any help,
    and she was right.
[15:14] Udolan
    Don't move!
[15:17] Udolan
    Unless you don't care what happens to them.
[15:20] Ariane
    You'd use children as shields? Coward!
[15:24] Udolan
    Do you really wanna see what happens
    if you keep talking back?
[15:29] Udolan
    See?
[15:34] Udolan
    Did that one get under your skin?
[15:37] Udolan
    Then how about this...?
[15:42] Udolan
    Oh, I love that look.
[15:46] Ariane
    You filth!
[15:47] Udolan
    So, so good.
[15:50] Udolan
    Maybe conquering a strong woman
    would be a nice change of pace...
[16:01] Goon E
    Don't move, now.
[16:02] Goon E
    Just gonna examine the merchandise.
[16:19] Arc
    I may have promised otherwise,
    but I'm here to help.

[17:06] Children
    Sister!
[17:09] Ariane
    Is everyone all right?
[17:11] Ariane
    Just wait. This won't take long.
[17:14] Ariane
    The key...
[17:16] Arc
    Let's see about getting them out of there.
[17:18] Ariane
    I told you I didn't need help.
[17:22] Arc
    I assumed that the safety
    of these children was more important.
[17:29] Arc
    I'm a friend. No need to be scared.
[17:32] Arc
    Come on, nothing to be afraid of.
[17:36] Ariane
    It's all right now.
[17:38] Children
    Sister!
[17:41] Ariane
    You don't need to worry now.
[17:44] Arc
    I'm glad they're safe.
[17:57] Ariane
    Mana-eater collars?
[17:59] Ariane
    They had these things...
[18:02] Arc
    What is a mana-eater collar?
[18:04] Ariane
    It can keep us from using our spirit magic.
[18:08] Ariane
    These are why they couldn't escape.
[18:12] Ariane
    But what do I do?
[18:14] Ariane
    I won't be able to remove them out here...
[18:17] Arc
    Well, let's see about taking them off.

[18:43] Elf A
    No, thank you.
[18:47] Arc
    You're quite welcome.
[18:49] Ariane
    Healing magic and curse dispelling,
    with minimal incantations...
[18:54] Ariane
    This human is no ordinary knight.
[19:02] Arc
    Up you go! Look how high!
[19:14] Ariane
    Four children have been safely rescued.
[19:17] Ariane
    Send someone to recover them.
[19:18] Ariane
    They're in the Elf Forest near Diento.
[19:22] Ariane
    It's not far from the main road,
    so they should be easy to find.
[19:32] Arc
    What in the world is that bird?
[19:35] Arc
    It looked like you were speaking to it...
[19:37] Ariane
    It's a Whispering Fowl.
[19:39] Ariane
    It's a type of spirit creature that can
    remember speech and deliver messages.
[19:45] Arc
    Like a messenger pigeon crossed
    with a voice recorder...
[19:49] Ariane
    A voi... What?
[19:51] Arc
    Nothing to concern yourself with.
[19:54] Arc
    So?
[19:55] Ariane
    Well...
[19:56] Ariane
    It's hard for any human
    to tame a spirit creature.
[20:00] Ariane
    So we use Whispering Fowl as a way
    to communicate among elves.
[20:06] Arc
    I see! That is truly fascinating.
[20:09] Arc
    And truly fantastical.
[20:19] Ariane
    Here they come.
[20:20] Ariane
    You're all going home!
[20:23] Kids
    Right!
[20:25] Arc
    Well, I suppose this
    is where we part, my friends.
[20:29] Arc
    Oh, I wouldn't worry.
[20:32] Arc
    If you run into more villains,
    I will come running to your aid.
[20:38] Elf A
    Thank you, Mr. Armor!
[20:41] Elf B
    Goodbye!
[20:43] Elf A
    Bye-bye!
[20:45] Arc
    Right. Fare thee well.
[20:50] Ariane
    You are a very strange person.
[20:53] Ariane
    I've only ever heard of barbaric,
    dangerous humans...
[20:57] Ariane
    And you're capable of using
    the legendary teleportation magic, as well.
[21:04] Ariane
    Just who in the world are you?
[21:07] Arc
    No one of importance.
[21:08] Arc
    My name is Arc.
[21:10] Arc
    And I'm simply a traveling mercenary.
[21:13] Arc
    This is Ponta. My traveling companion.
[21:17] Ariane
    I am Ariane Glenys Maple.
[21:20] Ariane
    An elf warrior.
[21:22] Ariane
    You have my gratitude
    for what you've done.
[21:25] Arc
    I did only what needed to be done.
[21:30] Ariane
    That's Danka's Whispering Fowl...
[21:33] Bird(Danka)
    Ariane.
[21:36] Bird(Danka)
    They've made their headquarters
    in the village of Diento.
[21:40] Bird(Danka)
    Please, come at once.
[21:42] Bird(Danka)
    We're going to rescue the others.
[21:53] Ariane
    You said you were a mercenary?
[21:56] Arc
    Indeed I am.
[21:58] Ariane
    In that case, Arc,
[22:01] Ariane
    would I be able to hire you right now?
