*Hi there, it's me, Arc.*

*along with Lady Ariane and Danka,*
**[00:13] Arc**
* I happened upon some information from a*
* furry-eared ninja about other kidnapped elves.*
**[00:20] Arc**
*A furry-eared ninja! Here we go!*
**[00:23] Arc**
* After saving the captive*
* elves in the hideout,*
**[00:26] Arc**
* two of us headed to free the elves*
* being held at the lord of Diento's palace.*
**[00:31] Arc**
* Lady Ariane and I ended up*
* having to tackle this task alone.*
**[02:17] Elf Woman 1 E5**
If you're going to do it,
then get it over with,
**[02:19] Elf Woman 1 E5**
you flea-dicked bastard!
**[02:23] Tryton**
You always have the most unique reactions.
**[02:26] Tryton**
And those eyes that look at me like I'm trash...
**[02:29] Tryton**
They give me the chills!
**[02:36] Tryton**
Udolan, my boy...
**[02:38] Tryton**
You accompanied the elf hunters
without permission and failed...
**[02:42] Tryton**
And then you had the nerve
to come back alone?
**[02:46] Tryton**
Don't you know how to handle
these elves, you stupid little boy?
**[02:52] Tryton**
Pay attention, and I'll show you.
**[02:56] Elf Woman 1 E5**
No!
**[03:02] Tryton**
This is how you handle an elf.
**[03:12] Ariane**
Arc, let's make our way inside
from this bell tower.
**[03:15] Ariane**
The lord's chambers are bound
to be higher in the palace.
**[03:20] Arc**
How can you be sure?
**[03:22] Ariane**
There's an old saying.
**[03:24] Ariane**
Idiots and smoke like high places.
**[03:27] Arc**
I'm convinced. Let us move quickly, then.
**[03:33] Guard 1 E5**
Where did you come from?!
**[03:35] Arc**
Whoa there!
**[03:36] Guard 2 E5**
Come along quietly!
**[03:38] Guard 2 E5**
Do you realize where you are?!
**[03:40] Ariane**
We've already been discovered!
**[03:45] Arc**
Wyvern Slash!

**[03:52] Ariane**
So much for sneaking in!
**[04:00] Soldier 3 E5**
Did you see them?!
**[04:01] Soldier 4 E5**
No, no sign this way.
**[04:04] Soldier 3 E5**
Where could they have gone?!
**[04:05] Soldier 3 E5**
Split up and find them!
**[04:11] Ariane**
They're gone.
**[04:13] Arc**
We managed to weather the trouble
despite the commotion.
**[04:17] Ariane**
There's not much else
we can do. Let's hurry.
**[04:26] Tryton**
Now what...?
**[04:28] Celsika**
Master Tryton! Master Tryton!
**[04:31] Tryton**
What are you shouting about?
**[04:33] Celsika**
I-Intruders!
**[04:35] Celsika**
Intruders have breached the palace!
**[04:37] Tryton**
And?
**[04:38] Tryton**
Why haven't you lot dealt with it already?
**[04:42] Celsika**
B-But sir, they're monsters!
**[04:48] Tryton**
What now?!
**[04:50] Tryton**
Wh-Who are you two?
**[04:54] Arc**
Good evening. I'm Arc.
**[04:57] Arc**
Hope you don't mind us dropping in so late.
**[04:59] Ariane**
We're here to save you.
**[05:01] Udolan**
It's them!
**[05:04] Elf Woman 1 E5**
Miss Ariane!
**[05:06] Udolan**
Why?! How are they here?!
**[05:11] Tryton**
Rude filth!
**[05:13] Tryton**
Who in the bloody hell do you think—
**[05:21] Ariane**
You two can rest easy now.
**[05:23] Elf Woman 1 E5**
Th-Thank you...
**[05:25] Elf Woman 2 E5**
You really did come!
**[05:35] Arc**
You're not going anywhere.
**[05:43] Arc**
A hidden room?
**[05:45] Arc**
Well, what do we have here?
**[05:49] Arc**
Lady Ariane!
**[05:50] Arc**
Come look at—
**[05:50] Ariane**
Dirty!
**[05:51] Ariane**
Rotten! Bastard!
**[05:54] Ariane**
You need something?
**[05:55] Arc**
Uh, no. Don't mind me.
**[05:58] Tryton**
You wretches!
**[05:59] Tryton**
Don't think you'll get away with this!
**[06:02] Tryton**
I'm a Rhoden Kingdom marquis!
**[06:05] Ariane**
Stop talking.
**[06:08] Arc**
Lady Ariane, isn't that
taking things a bit... far?
**[06:12] Ariane**
They broke the treaty first.
**[06:17] Ariane**
I hardly see a problem
in exacting a price for that.
**[06:26] Ariane**
You can do what you want with him.
**[06:28] Ariane**
Get satisfaction.
**[06:41] Soldier 1 E5**
Lord Tryton! Are you all right?!
**[06:43] Soldier 2 E5**
Capture the intruders!
**[06:45] Arc**
Lady Ariane, keep them occupied!
**[06:48] Arc**
I have matters to attend
to in this hidden room!
**[06:52] Soldier 2 E5**
Resist and you'll get no mercy!
**[06:55] Ariane**
Fire, I implore you.
Light this sword ablaze!
**[07:09] Elf Woman 1 E5**
Miss Ariane!
**[07:11] Ariane**
The two of you need to escape
and meet up with Danka.
**[07:15] Ariane**
Head for Lalatoya.
**[07:16] Elf Woman 1 E5**
Right!
**[07:21] Arc**
This is quite the haul!
**[07:23] Arc**
"Arc got a gold bar!"
**[07:26] Ariane**
Arc.
**[07:27] Ariane**
I'm finished on this end.
**[07:30] Ariane**
What are you doing?
**[07:32] Arc**
Lady Ariane...
**[07:34] Arc**
You'd be surprised how much of it
is necessary to rebuild an organization.
**[07:38] Arc**
"Money", that is.
**[07:40] Ariane**
What are you talking about?
**[07:42] Arc**
Think for a moment.
**[07:46] Arc**
Suppose they tried to re-establish
their abduction syndicate,
**[07:51] Arc**
but we'd deprived them of their funds?
**[07:55] Ariane**
Without the money...
**[07:57] Ariane**
they wouldn't be able to
do anything anytime soon.
**[08:01] Ariane**
Well done, Arc.
**[08:03] Arc**
*Yes! She bought it!*
**[08:10] Arc**
Lady Ariane, these explosions...
**[08:12] Arc**
Did you set a fire?
**[08:14] Ariane**
It wasn't me.
**[08:16] Ariane**
We're the only ones who came to the castle,
**[08:19] Ariane**
and Danka should be
escorting the other elves...
**[08:23] Arc**
Well, we should make
ourselves scarce either way.
**[08:38] Arc**
If it wasn't Lady Ariane, then these
explosions must've been caused by...
**[08:44] Arc**
*the furry-eared ninja, perhaps.*
**[08:49] Arc**
And thus, I assume
I've fulfilled my contract.
**[08:52] Ariane**
Yes. And I'm truly grateful.
**[08:58] Ariane**
Is this a sufficient reward?
**[09:01] Ariane**
Although it's not much compared
to the hidden stores you made off with...
**[09:08] Arc**
Many thanks.
**[09:10] Ariane**
Tell me, Arc.
**[09:11] Ariane**
What are you going to do now?
**[09:14] Arc**
I didn't have anything
in particular in mind.
**[09:17] Ariane**
In that case...
**[09:19] Ariane**
would you like to visit
the elf lands with me?
**[09:21] Arc**
The elf lands?
**[09:24] Ariane**
It's not just this place.
**[09:25] Ariane**
Many of my kin are still being held captive.
**[09:28] Ariane**
I'd like it if you continued helping me.
**[09:34] Arc**
*The land of elves!*
**[09:36] Arc**
*Now that sounds fantasy as hell!*
**[09:38] Arc**
*I wanna go! I wanna go right now!*
**[09:44] Arc**
But...
**[09:45] Arc**
would they be willing
to welcome an outsider like myself?
**[09:49] Ariane**
We'll need to meet with the elder
and get his permission...
**[09:53] Arc**
*I figured we'd have to meet with the brass.*
**[09:58] Arc**
And we must meet this elder, no matter what?
**[10:01] Ariane**
Are you worried?
to prove that I trust you,
**[10:05] Ariane**
I'll introduce you to one of the elders...
To the person that I trust the most.
**[10:13] Arc**
Lady Ariane...
**[10:16] Arc**
I can never remove my armor.
**[10:21] Ariane**
You'd have to at least show your face
when meeting the elder.
**[10:29] Ariane**
Is there a reason?
**[10:32] Arc**
There's a chance that you may
**[10:35] Arc**
turn your sword against me
the moment I remove this helmet.
**[10:40] Ariane**
And if I swear not to,
will you show me your face?
**[10:50] Arc**
* At first, I just wanted to help out*
* this earnest-looking elf girl, but...*
**[10:57] Arc**
*Traveling with her?*
**[11:00] Arc**
*Very well.*
**[11:07] Ariane**
Arc...
**[11:08] Ariane**
What... happened to you?
**[11:16] Arc**
I'm not sure myself.
**[11:18] Arc**
I simply found myself in these lands,
**[11:21] Arc**
with nothing but my altered appearance.
**[11:24] Arc**
I imagine it must be some kind of curse.
**[11:27] Arc**
*Even if I told her*
**[11:28] Arc**
* "I woke up in another world looking*
* like my video game character"*
**[11:32] Arc**
*I doubt she'd understand.*
**[11:36] Ariane**
If you were truly undead,
you'd have the corruption of death...
**[11:41] Ariane**
And you wouldn't be able to use healing spells
or the power of light to dispel curses.
**[11:47] Ariane**
And there's no way a spirit creature
would be this attached to you.
**[11:53] Ariane**
Arc, you've lent me your strength
to save my comrades.
**[12:01] Ariane**
Which is why...
**[12:02] Ariane**
Your secret will be safe among the elves.
**[12:08] Ariane**
If your appearance
is the result of some curse,
**[12:11] Ariane**
the elder may have the knowledge to help.
**[12:16] Arc**
That would be wonderful.
**[12:18] Arc**
There's nothing I want more than
to be rid of the curse that affects me.
**[12:25] Ariane**
Then it's decided.
**[12:32] Ariane**
Let me make this official.
**[12:34] Ariane**
I am Ariane Glenys Maple,
**[12:37] Ariane**
a warrior from Maple
in the Great Canada Forest.
**[12:41] Arc**
I am Arc.
**[12:43] Arc**
I travel to break the curse upon me.
**[12:51] Arc**
I'll be at your disposal.
**[12:56] Arc**
*I never thought I'd end up on a journey to*
**[12:59] Arc**
* break the curse that I made up*
* as part of my character's background...*
**[13:05] Arc**
* It's still late at night,*
* with only the moon to show the way...*
**[13:13] Arc**
*But the path set out for me is clear.*

Karlon Delfriet Rhoden Olav
**[13:31] Karlon**
Regarding the matter of Marquis Diento...
**[13:34] Karlon**
Do we know who was responsible?
**[13:37] Sekt**
No, Father. Not yet.
***SIGN*** First Prince
Sekt Rondahl Karlon Rhoden Sahdiay
**[13:40] Sekt**
There are rumors that the elves
are responsible, however.
***SIGN*** Second Prince
Dakares Ciciay Karlon Rhoden Vetran
**[13:48] Karlon**
What makes you deem this
hearsay worth mentioning, Sekt?
**[13:54] Sekt**
"Marquis Diento was
in violation of the treaty,
**[13:57] Sekt**
capturing elves and selling them
to the eastern empire."
**[14:02] Sekt**
Given this previous rumor, it makes sense.
***SIGN*** Second Princess
Yuriarna Merol Melissa Rhoden Olav
**[14:05] Yuriarna**
The marquis? It can't be...
**[14:08] Dakares**
Those sound like baseless rumors to me.
**[14:10] Dakares**
Or do you have any proof, Brother Sekt?
**[14:13] Sekt**
What's this?
**[14:15] Sekt**
Are you standing up
for Marquis Diento, Dakares?
**[14:20] Dakares**
I am telling you not to impugn the nobility
of this kingdom with mere rumors!
**[14:25] Karlon**
Calm yourselves.
**[14:29] Karlon**
Dakares is correct.
**[14:31] Karlon**
Do not condemn the marquis
without sufficient cause.
**[14:35] Karlon**
But the fact is, these rumors
do bear further investigation.
**[14:40] Dakares**
Sire.
**[14:43] Karlon**
We should inquire into what's
happened in Diento immediately.
**[14:49] Karlon**
What is your take on this matter, Yuriarna?
**[14:53] Yuriarna**
I had heard these rumors as well.
**[14:56] Yuriarna**
And if they are true,
**[14:57] Yuriarna**
it would not only mean breaking
our treaty with the elves,
**[15:01] Yuriarna**
but it could raise tensions between
our kingdom and the other nations.
**[15:06] Yuriarna**
We should ascertain the truth quickly
**[15:09] Yuriarna**
and arrange to speak with the elves.
**[15:13] Yuriarna**
If the elves were to seek retribution
by halting their arrangements with Limbult...
**[15:20] Sekt**
We would be held responsible
by the other countries.
**[15:25] Yuriarna**
Yes.
**[15:29] Karlon**
The magical equipment would be bad enough,
**[15:32] Karlon**
but if they were to withhold the rune
stones needed for crop cultivation...
**[15:36] Karlon**
We'd be courting uprisings
from our own nobility as well.
**[15:41] Karlon**
Yuriarna,
**[15:42] Karlon**
head to Limbult and make arrangements
so that we might speak with the elves.
**[15:48] Yuriarna**
As you wish, Father.
**[15:53] Karlon**
That will be all for today.
**[16:09] Karlon**
Good grief.
**[16:11] Karlon**
This has become quite a mess...
**[16:21] Arc**
Such dense woods.
**[16:23] Arc**
We hardly seem to be making any headway.
**[16:25] Ariane**
Yes. But once we're through here...
**[16:29] Arc**
*There we go!*
**[16:31] Arc**
*There's better visibility up ahead.*
**[16:33] Arc**
*Which means...*
**[16:34] Arc**
Lady Ariane,
**[16:36] Arc**
I will move forward and scout ahead a bit.
**[16:40] Arc**
Dimension Move!
**[16:47] Arc**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[16:52] Ariane**
It wasn't a bright idea to use that kind of magic
when your line of sight is limited.
**[16:56] Arc**
T-True.
**[16:57] Arc**
But it did pay off.
**[17:24] Ariane**
Thank you. Head back to Danka.
**[17:33] Ariane**
Danka and the girls we rescued
are safely on their way to Lalatoya.
**[17:39] Arc**
That's good to hear.
**[17:48] Arc**
Lady Ariane.
**[17:50] Arc**
Are we still a ways from Lalatoya?
**[17:54] Ariane**
It's not that far.
**[17:56] Ariane**
Another two nights and we should be there.
**[18:02] Arc**
Well, we covered a great distance today.
**[18:04] Arc**
One fish must not have been enough.
**[18:06] Ariane**
N-Now that you mention it, yes.
**[18:08] Ariane**
But I'll be fine.
**[18:11] Arc**
Let's see if I can't hunt
down a bull boar or two...
**[18:17] Ariane**
Th-Thank you.
**[18:44] Ariane**
I shouldn't wake her.
**[18:46] Ariane**
Just... stay quiet.
**[19:01] Arc**
This should make a nice meal.
**[19:04] Arc**
Lady Ariane, I'm back—
**[19:07] Ariane**
Oh, Ponta!
**[19:08] Ariane**
Who's a good girl?! Who's a good girl?!
**[19:15] Ariane**
So fuzzy!
**[19:20] Ariane**
You smell wonderful!
**[19:22] Ariane**
So adorable!
**[19:36] Ariane**
Oh, Arc. That was fast.
**[19:41] Ariane**
My, that's a big bull boar.
**[19:44] Ariane**
I suppose we should start cleaning it.
**[19:48] Arc**
Ponta, I'll be partaking
of your fuzziness later as well.
**[19:54] Ariane**
Stop! Stop, stop, stop!
**[20:13] Ferna**
Princess, your tea is ready.
**[20:16] Yuriarna**
Thank you, Ferna.
**[20:27] Yuriarna**
Such a lovely aroma...
**[20:33] Ferna**
Princess Yuriarna?
**[20:35] Ferna**
Is something bothering you?
**[20:38] Yuriarna**
Well...
**[20:39] Yuriarna**
I'm certain that Brother Dakares
is involved in the elf trade.
**[20:46] Yuriarna**
And Brother Sekt won't stay
quiet about it for long.
**[20:50] Ferna**
True.
**[20:51] Ferna**
Once Prince Dakares is cast down,
**[20:53] Ferna**
the throne will eventually
be yours or Prince Sekt's.
**[20:58] Yuriarna**
Ferna!
**[21:00] Ferna**
Princess?
**[21:03] Yuriarna**
You shouldn't speak so carelessly.
**[21:06] Yuriarna**
Right now, we must focus
on the matter at hand.
**[21:11] Ferna**
The diplomatic mission to Limbult?
**[21:14] Yuriarna**
Precisely.
**[21:17] Yuriarna**
The Grand Duchy of Limbult is the only domain
that has trade relations with the elves...
**[21:23] Yuriarna**
We must arrange
for a meeting with the elves
**[21:27] Yuriarna**
and prevent any potential
conflict from escalating.
**[21:30] Fern**
Right.
**[21:32] Fern**
Still, it will be wonderful
**[21:34] Fern**
to see your sister who married
into the Limbult family after so long.
**[21:40] Yuriarna**
Yes...
**[21:41] Yuriarna**
I wonder if Sister Seriarna is doing well?
**[21:48] Ariane**
We've nearly arrived.
**[21:50] Ariane**
Once we pass through here...
**[21:58] Ariane**
This is the elf settlement of Lalatoya.
