[00:01] Ariane
    Until now, I have never trusted
    anyone who was not an elf.
[00:06] Ariane
    But...
[00:09] Ariane
    Arc.
[00:12] Ariane
    Would I be able to hire you right now?
[00:15] Arc
    You wish to hire me?
[00:18] Ariane
    Yes.
[00:22] Arc
    But wouldn't your comrades
    have concerns about my presence?
[00:27] Ariane
    I imagine some won't be pleased...
[00:31] Ariane
    And if you were any other
    human, I wouldn't risk it.
[00:35] Ariane
    But you show no prejudice against elves,
[00:39] Ariane
    and you saved those children.
[00:41] Ariane
    Even a spirit creature has accepted you.
[00:45] Ariane
    So I will trust you.
[00:49] Ariane
    I ask you to lend me your
    help in saving my people.
[01:00] Arc
    Very well.
[01:03] Arc
    You have my services
    as a mercenary, Lady Ariane.
[01:09] Ariane
    Thank you, Arc.
SIGN    Gate
[02:49] Arc
    Hi there. It's me, Arc.
[02:52] Arc
    Living a low-key, inconspicuous life...
[02:54] Arc
    It seems that encountering Lady Ariane
[02:58] Arc
    might be making me reconsider
    that agenda of mine.
[03:03] Ariane
    Unbelievable...
    this is the Lydel River, right?
[03:10] Ariane
    Which would make
    that Diento in the distance.
[03:13] Arc
    Indeed.
[03:14] Arc
    It'd be troublesome
    to cause a commotion in town.
[03:18] Arc
    I transported us to a place
    within walking distance.
[03:20] Ariane
    This is remarkable.
[03:22] Ariane
    To be able to use teleportation magic
    without an incantation...
[03:26] Arc
    Does it seem like I'll be of some help?
[03:28] Ariane
    Yes. Of course.
[03:30] Ariane
    I can't think of a better power
    to help save my kin.
[03:35] Arc
    Now then, we should make our way there
    before the sun begins to set.
[03:39] Arc
    We're meeting another elf in the town, yes?
[03:41] Ariane
    Right.

[03:52] Arc
    What is the plan now?
[03:55] Ariane
    We're meeting a comrade of mine, Danka.
[04:00] Arc
    So soon?
[04:03] Arc
    Since Ariane's a beautiful elf warrior...
[04:07] Arc
    I wonder what Danka's like.
[04:11] Danka
    Ariane.
[04:13] Ariane
    There he is.
[04:18] Arc
    Wh-Whoa! That is one severe-looking elf!
[04:22] Danka
    I'm sorry about the wait, Ariane.
[04:24] Ariane
    It's all right, Danka, we just arrived.
[04:29] Arc
    Then this is Danka?
[04:31] Danka
    Now, who exactly is this?
[04:34] Ariane
    This is Arc.
[04:35] Ariane
    A mercenary who will be helping us.
[04:38] Danka
    A mercenary...?
[04:43] Ariane
    I'd hate to draw attention
    out in the street.
[04:45] Ariane
    Let's discuss this elsewhere.
[04:48] Danka
    Good idea.
[04:58] Chef
    Here you are!
[05:00] BG Chatter
    It's been a while!
[05:01] BG Chatter
    Tell me about it.
[05:02] BG Chatter
    I'd say two years, right?
[05:03] Ariane
    Are you sure you're not hungry, Arc?
[05:07] Arc
    Yes. I'm quite fine.
[05:10] Arc
    There is no way I'm taking this helm off.
[05:13] Arc
    They'd be all over me the second I did!
[05:15] Ariane
    Say your prayers!
[05:16] Arc
    Don't hurt me!
[05:17] Ariane
    This is Danka Niel Maple.
[05:20] Ariane
    He's an elf warrior like myself,
    and has been gathering information.
[05:26] Arc
    Maple?
[05:27] Arc
    You gave that as your name, as well.
[05:30] Ariane
    Yes.
[05:31] Arc
    Are you siblings, or...?
[05:33] Ariane
    No.
[05:35] Ariane
    Elvish names consist of our given name,
[05:38] Ariane
    the name of our parent of the same gender,
    and the village we are from.
[05:42] Ariane
    That's where the individual parts are from.
[05:45] Ariane
    It means that we're both
    citizens of the city of Maple,
[05:49] Ariane
    from within the Great Canada Forest.
[05:52] Danka
    I don't see the point in explaining this.
[05:55] Arc
    In that case, Sir Danka, what matters
    have you been looking into...?
[05:58] Ariane
    Goa beef skewers, a Diento delicacy.
[06:02] Ariane
    They have a flavor unique to this town,
    where they're raised as livestock.
[06:10] Arc
    Stonewalled!
[06:12] Danka
    And to accompany it,
[06:13] Danka
    something only made possible
    by the verdant fields in the vicinity,
[06:17] Danka
    honey beer made from only
    the finest grade of honey.
[06:28] Danka
    Impressive.
[06:30] Danka
    So, what exactly is this?
[06:32] Arc
    What am I, an object?!
[06:34] Ariane
    This is Arc.
[06:35] Ariane
    A mercenary who came to my aid when I
    was fighting the elf hunters in the forest.
[06:40] Ariane
    I hired him in order
    to help us with the rescue.
[06:46] Danka
    Did you, now?
[06:48] Ariane
    He's no ordinary mercenary.
[06:51] Ariane
    He can use teleportation magic.
[06:53] Danka
    Teleportation? You're sure?
[06:57] Arc
    There are limitations, but yes.
[07:00] Danka
    A ventu vulpis?
[07:02] Ariane
    This is Ponta. Arc's companion.
[07:10] Danka
    Someone who can use teleportation,
    and who has a spirit creature as company...
[07:14] Danka
    That does sound like it will come in handy.
[07:19] Ariane
    So, have you been able to
    locate their base of operations?
[07:23] Danka
    I have.
[07:25] Danka
    It's located near
    the entertainment district.
[07:28] Danka
    We'll find the missing elves there.
[07:36] Danka
    But even after nightfall,
    it's still fairly active.
[07:41] Ariane
    We'll need to wait until late at night,
    once there are fewer people around.
[07:45] Danka
    Right.
[07:46] Danka
    So we'll be waiting here until then.
[07:51] Arc
    We won't be taking action
    for some time, then?
[07:57] Arc
    I'll be gone for an hour.
[08:00] Arc
    I have some errands to attend to.
[08:03] Ariane
    All right. We'll be waiting.
[08:08] Arc
    Come along, Ponta.
[08:18] Danka
    I'm surprised.
[08:19] Ariane
    About what?
[08:22] Danka
    That you'd rely on an outsider.
[08:29] Ariane
    In the battle, before we came here...
[08:32] Ariane
    if it weren't for his help,
    I might have been captured.
[08:37] Danka
    Did you underestimate your foes?
[08:41] Danka
    Or was it impatience?
[08:43] Ariane
    I've failed as a warrior...
[08:46] Ariane
    I know my sister would have managed.
[08:49] Danka
    True.
[08:50] Danka
    Eevin would've likely won
    without much difficulty.
[08:54] Danka
    But there's no point
    in making the comparison.
[08:58] Danka
    For how young you are,
    you've acquitted yourself admirably.
[09:01] Danka
    With experience,
    you'll one day stand as her equal.
[09:05] Ariane
    Right.
[09:09] Danka
    More importantly, Ariane...
[09:11] Danka
    Can we really trust this man?
[09:17] Ariane
    Yes.
[09:18] Danka
    I see. Then I'll leave it at that.
[09:26] Arc
    I'm glad the stuff I took off those
    bandits made for a nice profit!
[09:30] Arc
    Now, then...
[09:33] Arc
    First things first.
[09:35] Arc
    Okay!
[09:47] Arc
    Goa beef skewers!
[09:50] Arc
    Salt-grilled rainbow sword-trout!
[09:53] Arc
    Seasonal fruit pizza!
[09:56] Arc
    And the Diento specialty, honey beer!
[10:01] Arc
    Time to eat!
[10:12] Arc
    So good...
[10:13] Arc
    Delicious! I can feel
    the flavor in my bones!
[10:19] Arc
    It's gonna be a long night...
[10:22] Arc
    Better eat while we can!
[10:37] Slaver A E4
    We've got word on when to send them out.
[10:39] Slaver A E4
    First thing tomorrow morning.
[10:42] Slaver B E4
    Gonna be easy living for a while
    once this job's taken care of.
[10:50] Elf Girl A E4
    I know one of our warriors will save us!
[10:52] Elf Girl A E4
    And then you'll all die!
[10:58] Slaver B E4
    Well, ain't that a scary thought?
[11:03] Slaver B E4
    Get over here!
[11:10] Elf Girl B E4
    It's okay! Someone will help us!
[11:24] Danka
    All right. Let's go.
[11:40] Danka
    That's the place.
[11:44] Ariane
    No shortage of guards,
    even at the rear entrance...
[11:46] Danka
    I doubt they're bone-idle enough
    to sneak past, either.
[11:49] Ariane
    Yes, they're not bone-idle.
[11:51] Arc
    Bone...?!
[11:52] Arc
    W-Well, I'd say we still
    have a bone to pick with them.
[11:57] Ariane
    True. It's only a question of how
    quickly they realize we're here.
[12:02] Ariane
    Once the elves are free,
    any enemies we encounter will die.
[12:09] Ariane
    I'm curious, Arc...
[12:11] Ariane
    Would you be able to
    teleport us to that window?
[12:15] Arc
    It should prove no problem.
[12:17] Ariane
    Let's get further away first.
[12:19] Ariane
    The light from the magic
    circle would alert them.
[12:22] Arc
    No. There's no need for concern there.
[12:26] Arc
    Place your hands upon me.

[12:47] Danka
    That was honestly impressive.
[12:56] Ariane
    There's no one inside.
[12:57] Ariane
    We should be able to sneak in through here.
[12:59] Danka
    Be careful.
[13:01] Ariane
    Right.

[13:39] Arc
    There's no need to feel embarrassed
    about your figure giving you trouble...
[13:41] Danka
    Let's move.
[14:02] Ariane
    Danka, is this...?
[14:05] Danka
    A single blow to the throat
    for every one of them.
[14:07] Danka
    The blood hasn't even dried.
[14:09] Arc
    It hasn't been long, then.
[14:12] Danka
    Someone else has made their way in here.
[14:16] Ariane
    I'm not sure what's going on,
[14:19] Ariane
    but we should find
    the others as soon as we can.
[14:22] Danka
    Let's split up and continue the search.

    Again? Who could be doing—
[15:13] Arc
    Were the kunai just a distraction?!
[15:25] Arc
    A ninja?!
[15:26] Arc
    And on top of that...
[15:31] Arc
    A furry-eared ninja! Here we go!
[15:36] Chiyome
    How is it that you know what a ninja is?
[15:41] Arc
    I dunno what to say except that
    she is very, very obviously a ninja!
[15:47] Chiyome
    You are no ordinary intruder.
[15:52] Chiyome
    I beg your pardon.
[15:54] Chiyome
    If you are in the company
    of a spirit creature,
[15:57] Chiyome
    then I doubt you could
    be acting maliciously.
[16:02] Arc
    I don't know why, exactly,
[16:04] Arc
    but I think she realizes
    it was a misunderstanding.
[16:07] Chiyome
    I assume you're here
    to free the captive elves?
[16:12] Arc
    Wait, is that what you're after, as well?
[16:13] Chiyome
    No.
[16:15] Chiyome
    I couldn't find what I was looking for.
[16:19] Chiyome
    You'll find the elves
    imprisoned underground.
[16:22] Arc
    What's this?
[16:24] Chiyome
    Something that I believe will be
    of use to you and your allies.
[16:42] Chiyome
    Right...
[16:44] Chiyome
    one other matter,
    to make up for attacking you.
[16:46] Chiyome
    There are two elves being held
    captive in the lord's manor, as well.
[16:50] Arc
    What?!
[16:51] Chiyome
    We'll meet again, soon.
[16:53] Arc
    Wait!
[16:57] Arc
    Didn't even get a chance to ask her name...
[17:00] Arc
    Still, I had no idea being friends
    with spirit creatures was so rare...
[17:05] Arc
    You sure about this arrangement, Ponta?
[17:11] Arc
    She mentioned they would be of use...
[17:13] Arc
    What could these documents be?
[17:16] Arc
    Wait a minute...
[17:19] Ariane
    A contract for purchasing elf slaves?
[17:23] Ariane
    And this name...
[17:25] Danka
    Right.
[17:26] Danka
    To think the lord of Diento
    would be involved, as well...
[17:30] Arc
    The captive elves are being held
    in the basement of this manor.
[17:34] Arc
    And there are two more
    at the lord's palace.
[17:38] Ariane
    Arc...
[17:39] Ariane
    between this contract
    and that information...
[17:41] Ariane
    where is it all coming from?
[17:44] Arc
    I get the feeling bringing up the furry-eared
    ninja would just complicate things.
[17:49] Arc
    Well, I simply captured
    and questioned one of these villains.
[17:54] Ariane
    Impressive.
[17:56] Arc
    So, how do we proceed from here?
[18:02] Ariane
    We'll deal with things here
    and then head to the palace.
[18:09] Slaver C E4
    Who are you people?!
[18:11] Slaver D E4
    We've got intruders!
[18:13] Danka
    I doubt we can make it underground
    without being noticed now.
[18:18] Ariane
    Then we'll simply fight our way there.
[18:20] Arc
    Agreed.
[18:22] Slaver C E4
    Don't bother taking them alive!
    Just get rid of 'em!
[18:25] Ariane
    Fire, I implore you. Light this sword ablaze!
[18:37] Ariane
    Let's continue.
[18:38] Ariane
    We'll erase each one as we come across them.
[18:41] Danka
    Come on.

    It's all right! He's an ally.
[19:27] Elf Girl A E4
    We were so scared!
[19:30] Ariane
    It's all right. You're free now.

    Good. We're finished here.

    Is that the lord's palace?

    Knowing those two, they should
    be able to sneak in with ease.
