[00:28] K
    I'm back!
[00:38] K
    And I did a great job
    hanging on as just a head!
[00:40] K
    I've never been more grateful for the
    full heal you get from leveling up!
[00:43] K
    Having a body totally rules!
[00:46] K
    Now, I drifted for a good distance there,
    so I better figure out where I am.
[00:51] K
    Clairvoyance.
[00:55] K
    A town!
[00:57] K
    I wonder if they'll feed me.
[01:01] K
    Probably not. I am a spider.
[01:06] K
    Is that...
[01:10] K
    It's the baby bloodsucker's carriage.
[01:15] K
    Ugh, looks like somebody's
    still after her.
SIGN    You Guys Are Kind of Awful, Huh?
[03:00] John
    We've finally made it home.
[03:02] John
    There were a few times
    I wasn't sure we'd survive.
[03:05] John
    And I never imagined a
    monster would save us.
[03:08] Seras
    It must be a divine beast
    sent by the Goddess!
[03:12] Seras
    I'm sure she was offering
    help in our time of need!
[03:17] John
    A divine beast, eh?
[03:20] Merazophis
    Sir, I can start looking
    into the matter of that spider monster.
[03:22] Seras
    You must be tired! Let's put you to bed.
[03:24] John
    Sorry to trouble you so soon after
    getting back... but, please.
[03:26] Merazophis
    Very good, sir.
[03:28] John
    Let me know of anything you
    find as soon as possible.
[03:58] (Flashback) Merazophis
    Sir! She's here!
[04:02] Sophia
    My name is Shouko Negishi.
    I was born and raised in Japan.
[04:06] Sophia
    But before I knew it, I found myself a baby,
    in some place that wasn't Japan.
[04:11] (Flashback) Merazophis
    It's a healthy baby girl!
[04:14] (Flashback) John
    She's adorable.
[04:17] (Flashback) John
    Be sure to grow into a beauty
    like your mother, okay?
[04:22] (Flashback) Seras
    And clever like your father! Okay?
[04:22] Sophia
    I didn't understand what
    had happened at first,
[04:25] Sophia
    but I apparently reincarnated as
    the daughter of some nobles.
[04:30] Sophia
    I don't know how any of this happened.
[04:34] Sophia
    All I remember is that I was sitting
    in class for classics.
[04:39] Sophia
    I was confused and anxious at first.
[04:42] Sophia
    My parents and their butler were kind to me,
    which made this life better than my old one,
[04:46] Sophia
    and I got used to it pretty quickly.
[04:49] Sophia
    I thought I would be able live my
    life without a care in the world...
[04:54] Sophia
    Until that day.
[04:58] (Flashback) Seras
    We're almost home, Sophia. Okay?
[05:02] Sophai
    Sophia is my new name in this world.
[05:07] (Flashback) Merazophis
    I just can't understand why the Ohts
    Kingdom is coming on so strong.
[05:11] (Flashback) Merazophis
    They're at a clear disadvantage
    against our country.
[05:15] (Flashback) John
    It has to be their alliance with the
    Renxandt Empire and Holy Kingdom of Alleius...
[05:20] (Flashback) John
    With backing like that, you can
    see why they'd be confident.
[05:24] (Flashback) Merazophis
    The Followers of the Word of God...
[05:27] (Flashback) Merazophis
    Are you suggesting they're manipulating
    Ohts and Sariella into a war?
[05:31] (Flashback) John
    To them, worship of the Goddess is heresy.
[05:34] (Flashback) John
    It's not that strange.
[05:37] Sophia
    I don't really understand the
    religious situation here.
[05:39] Sophia
    From what I've heard,
[05:41] Sophia
    it sounds like the Word of God church
    is one-sidedly picking a fight with us.
[05:45] Sophia
    But this is a religion whose whole deal
[05:48] Sophia
    is raising your skill levels so
    you can hear the Word of God.
[05:52] Sophia
    As in, the "You leveled up!" voice that
    sounds like it's from a video game.
[05:56] Sophia
    If they're worshiping something like that,
    they must have a screw loose.
[06:04] (Flashback) Merazophis
    Sir! Stay inside the carriage!
[06:13] (Flashback) Bandits
    Kill them!
[06:25] (Flashback) Sophia
    Wh-What the...
[06:30] (Flashback) Sophia
    A spider?
[06:31] (Flashback) Bandits
    A monster!
[06:35] (Flashback) Bandits
    R-Run for it!
[06:40] Sophia
    There are monsters like
    that in this world.
[06:45] Sophia
    I'm terrified of leaving town.
[06:47] Sophia
    I doubt one would come here, so I'll
    probably never see it again, but still...
[06:58] Sophia
    What's going on?
[07:01] Merazophis
    Sir...
[07:02] John
    What is it?
[07:03] Merazophis
    The spider monster in question has
    apparently built a nest outside of town.
[07:08] John
    It what?!
[07:09] Sophia
    Oh, come on.
[07:15] Basgath
    This is where we part ways.
[07:17] Shun
    Thank you for your help.
[07:19] Basgath
    Don't mention it.
[07:20] Basgath
    But are you sure I can keep all
    the Earth Dragon parts, though?
[07:24] Basgath
    You could make you fortune with this stuff.
[07:26] Shun
    Consider it our thanks for helping
    us with an urgent journey.
[07:31] Basgath
    I'll do just that, then.
[07:35] Shun
    Listen...
[07:36] Shun
    Basgath-san, if you don't mind,
    would you be willing to—
[07:40] Shun
    Kid... I'm just a washed-up labyrinth guide.
[07:46] Shun
    Getting your people this
    far is where my job ends.
[07:50] Shun
    Here on out, it's your show.
[07:53] Shun
    There's no place for an old guy like me.
[07:58] Shun
    I'll be hoping the world ends
    up changing for the better.
[08:07] Shun
    We'll do our best.
[08:09] Basgath
    Good.
[08:12] Katia
    Are we heading directly to
    the elf village from here?
[08:15] Fil
    Before we do, we'll need
    to touch down in Sariella.
[08:18] Fil
    So first, we should get a cloak
    for Fei-chan in a nearby town.
[08:23] Shun
    Oh, right, her wings do stand out.
[08:26] Fil
    That's part of it, but the biggest
    part is the religious element.
[08:32] Fil
    Sariella worships the Goddess.
[08:36] Fil
    The legends say that she had white wings.
[08:40] Shun
    You're worried they might think
    Fei's wings are a religious sign?
[08:43] Fil
    That wouldn't be so bad, but there's also a
    chance they could attack her as an infidel,
[08:47] Fil
    who is pretending to be the Goddess.
[08:51] Hyrince
    The point is, they've got a
    whole different set of values,
[08:54] Hyrince
    so we can't be sure what'll happen.
[08:56] Fil
    The Goddess faith believes that if you offer
    your skills to the Goddess, you'll be saved.
[09:00] Fil
    In contrast to the Followers of the Word,
[09:03] Fil
    who believe in raising your skill
    levels to hear God's voice.
[09:05] Shun
    Offer your skills...
[09:06] Fil
    There's a skill called Skill Elimination,
[09:09] Fil
    and it's believed that the lost skills
    are offered to the Goddess as strength.
[09:14] Shun
    Since we remember our lives
    before reincarnating,
[09:17] Shun
    it's weird enough that
    skills exist at all.
[09:20] Shun
    It makes both faiths seem kind of shady.
[09:22] Fil
    Believe me, I know!
[09:23] Fil
    The Followers of the Word and the goddess
    faith consider each other to be heretics,
[09:27] Fil
    and it's even led to war
    between them in the past.
[09:30] Katia
    You might not be a Follower of the Word, Shun,
[09:33] Katia
    but they've overseen the Hero's
    works for generations.
[09:37] Shun
    So if they find out I'm the Hero,
[09:39] Shun
    there's a good chance I could get
    dragged into even more trouble.
[09:42] Fil
    It'd be a good idea to keep a low profile.
[09:45] Shun
    Agreed.
[09:49] Fei
    Wasn't there anything a little cuter?
[09:52] Fei
    Maybe in pink, or with polka dots?
[09:54] Shun
    We're trying to avoid attention, though.
[09:56] Fei
    I know, but still...
[09:58] Zealot
    Offer up your skills!
[10:01] Zealot
    It is the only salvation!
[10:05] Shun
    It looks like we can't turn to
    the Goddess faith just because
[10:08] Shun
    the Followers of the Word
    are working with Hugo.
[10:10] Fil
    It's likely that the Pontiff of the Followers
    of the Word, Dustin, is under Hugo's control.
[10:17] Shun
    The pontiff...
[10:21] Katia
    Have you ever met him before, Shun?
[10:24] Shun
    Yeah...
[10:25] Merchant
    You all right there, son?
[10:26] Merchant
    There you go, no tears for
    you. That's a good lad.
[10:35] (Flashback) Dustin
    May you be blessed with divine grace.
[10:44] Shun
    He seemed nice.
[10:47] Shun
    If he's been brainwashed and is being used,
     then we need to set him free, too!
[10:52] Shun
    By beating Hugo!
[10:54] Fil
    I agree.
[10:55] Fil
    Let's hurry on, so we can do just that.
[11:03] Shun
    The Goddess faith... the Followers of
    the Word... I can't turn to either.
[11:08] Shun
    We have to beat Hugo with
    our strength alone!
[11:13] Dustin
    The new Hero, Hugo Baint Renxandt,
[11:16] Dustin
    is strengthening his forces
    to defeat the wicked elves!
[11:27] Background
    The pontiff has spoken!
[11:31] Dustin
    Let's see just what Hugo-kun can do for us.
SIGN    Stealth
[12:18] K
    Think I'll call that one
    "The Jinxed Evil Eye of Clairvoyance."
[12:22] K
    A lethal attack from super-long range.
[12:26] K
    Sometimes I even scare myself!
[12:29] K
    They're bound to catch onto the
    fact they're being targeted
[12:31] K
    if a bunch of corpses
    turn up in their house.
[12:34] K
    Plus, if they died right after
    I went to the trouble of saving them,
[12:37] K
    it'd be like a waste of time on my part!
[12:40] K
    Now, then, has the guy I marked made
    his way back to their base yet?
[12:53] K
    Man, elves, huh?
    These guys are actually elves.
[12:57] K
    Seems like some kind of debriefing...
[13:03] K
    Is he talking to himself?
[13:05] K
    Wait, no, it's telepathy!
[13:08] K
    Kinda surprised those
    goons are elves, though.
[13:11] K
    I mean, their image is more like...
[13:13] K
    "The race with an untainted love for
    the splendor of nature!" Y'know?
[13:17] K
    These elves go heavy on the taint,
    and skip the splendor altogether.
[13:22] K
    Seems like the bandits who
    attacked baby bloodsucker
[13:25] K
    were probably working for these elves, too.
[13:27] K
    Why are they after her?
[13:32] K
    Oh, well, there's that saying
    about finishing what you start.
[13:35] K
    And since that human EXP is so juicy,
     I guess I'm babysitting.
[13:39] K
    Luckily for me, the Demon Lord
     is in the Bottom Stratum
[13:42] K
    of the Great Elroe Labyrinth
    for some reason.
[13:44] K
    Even for her, it'd take a few
    days to get from there to here.
[13:48] K
    I'll just practice loafing
    around here in the meantime.
[13:54] K
    And that's it for today. Goodnight.
[13:59] Potimas
    You failed?
[14:00] Elf
    Y-Yes, sir.
[14:02] Potimas
    Explain why.
[14:03] Elf
    B-Both attempts were foiled
    by a spider monster.
[14:07] Potimas
    That seems unlikely to be a coincidence.
[14:10] Elf
    What would you like us to do going forward?
[14:13] Potimas
    I'm going to get involved personally.
[14:15] Elf
    I-Is that really necessary, Potimas-sama?
[14:18] Potimas
    Maintain surveillance on that
    spider in the meantime.
[14:21] Potimas
    If it takes any action,
    I want to know about it.
[14:26] Potimas
    A spider monster...
[14:28] Potimas
    One of Ariel's brood.
[14:30] Potimas
    I had thought I was the only one
    aware of the reincarnations.
[14:34] Potimas
    But now I should assume that he
    and Ariel both know, too.
[14:40] Potimas
    I've oriented my plans around
    avoiding any attention.
[14:44] Potimas
    But the geography isn't in my favor.
[14:46] Potimas
    Keren County is in the middle of
    his latest expansionist scheme.
[14:50] Potimas
    I can't be sure if Dustin knows
    about the reincarnations,
[14:54] Potimas
    but if I take much more action,
    he's going to notice.
[14:59] Potimas
    The worst case scenario would be
    fighting him and Ariel simultaneously.
[15:03] Potimas
    Ariel's strength is her own, while Dustin
    wields the power of the masses.
[15:08] Potimas
    Both of them pose too much
    of a risk to confront.
[15:11] Potimas
    But...
[15:12] Potimas
    This could also be a good
    opportunity to crush them myself.
[15:22] K
    Pop!
[15:23] K
    All right, let's make this
    another productive day!
[15:25] K
    I'm gonna gonna hunt so many bandits,
    they'll be a protected species when I'm done!
[15:29] K
    There.
[15:32] K
    Some kind of ritual?
    Are they praying or something?
[15:35] K
    Not like that's gonna stop me.
[15:41] K
    Okay! Let's keep it rolling.
[15:45] K
    These guys are praying, too.
[15:47] K
    Unfortunately, God isn't
    in the mood to help you
[15:49] K
    avoid your dose of extermination,
    you nefarious rogues!
[15:57] K
    Man, are all the bandits in
    this world super religious?
[16:01] K
    Or maybe they were some kind of other
    group who were pretending to be bandits?
[16:05] K
    Those elves were acting
    pretty bandity, too.
[16:07] K
    Maybe there's some kind of conspiracy
    unfolding that I have no way to be aware of?
[16:12] Sign/K
    Exposed! The Foreign Spies Who
    Are Undercover As Bandits!
SIGN    Exposed! The Foreign Spies
    Who Are Undercover as Bandits!
[16:15] K
    Yeah, right!
[16:18] Dustin
    I see. Then our operatives
    have all been wiped out.
[16:22] Underling
    Yes, Father. Since the undercover agents
    in hiding haven't been attacked,
[16:26] Underling
    we can assume whoever did
    it was targeting bandits.
[16:30] Dustin
    I can't say I was expecting
    this manner of interference.
[16:33] Dustin
    To think the Nightmare of the Labyrinth
    would settle in Sariella.
[16:39] Dustin
    It's probably a creature under
    Ariel-sama's influence, so...
[16:42] Dustin
    Is this a warning to not
    make a move on Sariella?
[16:46] Dustin
    Even if it is, the only real option is to
    maintain vigilance while gathering more intel.
[16:51] Dustin
    Besides, Ariel-sama is
    not my only concern.
[16:55] Dustin
    Have you identified who
    these other bandits are?
[16:59] Underling
    They seem to be members of a slave-trading
    ring that's become active all over the world.
[17:04] Underling
    We've been able to confirm that the elves
    are in the shadows behind them, too.
[17:09] Dustin
    That damned Potimas... every action
    he takes seems to make the world worse.
[17:15] Underling
    There's more to the report. Elves have
    actually been spotted in Keren County.
[17:19] Underling
    Shall we eliminate them?
[17:21] Dustin
    I don't understand what Potimas
    is doing in Keren County.
[17:25] Dustin
    And this human trafficking that's
    occurring throughout the land...
[17:29] Dustin
    What use could he have for
    a bunch of kidnapped children?
[17:32] Dustin
    Maybe it's not that...
[17:34] Dustin
    Maybe he's looking for specific children,
    and the kidnappings provide cover.
[17:39] Dustin
    There's just too much I don't know.
[17:42] Underling
    Dustin-sama?
[17:44] Dustin
    No, leave them be for now. Our priority
    is eliminating the Goddess sect.
[17:49] Underling
    Yes, Father.
[17:50] Dustin
    Be ever vigilant. You should act
    as if the war has already begun.
[17:55] Underling
    Understood.
[17:58] Dustin
    A clash between Ariel-sama and
    Potimas would be ideal.
[18:02] Dustin
    The lord of Keren County has been
    trying to avoid conflict up until now,
[18:07] Dustin
    but the wind seems to be turning.
[18:10] Dustin
    And he has no idea that it's all
    been according to our plans.
[18:13] Dustin
    The Goddess sect hates the
    Followers of the Word,
[18:16] Dustin
    while we who follow the Word
    consider them to be heretics.
[18:20] Dustin
    Quite ironic, considering it's
    the same Goddess we worship.
[18:25] John
    What are we supposed to do about this?
[18:27] Merazophis
    There had been an increase in banditry,
     along with kidnappings...
[18:31] Merazophis
    But the problem has essentially
    been resolved at this point.
[18:34] John
    This spider monster killed them all?
[18:36] Merazophis
    I believe so.
[18:38] John
    My wife seems to sincerely believe
    this creature is the Divine Beast.
[18:42] Merazophis
    That seems to be what most
    people believe at this point.
[18:47] John
    It's like I'm the only one
    worrying about it.
[18:49] Merazophis
    Divine Beast or not, it's still a monster
    that escaped from the Great Elroe Labyrinth.
[18:55] Merazophis
    In Ohts, it's earned a fearsome reputation
    as "The Nightmare of the Labyrinth."
[18:59] John
    I heard it flattened a fortress
    in Ohts in an instant.
[19:04] John
    That its threat level is S-rank.
[19:06] Merazophis
    That said, the fact that it's only targeting
    bandits suggests advanced intelligence.
[19:12] Merazophis
    If it can understand language,
    we might even be able to reason with it.
[19:16] John
    Intelligence isn't necessarily
    a sign of understanding.
[19:20] John
    Do you think you'd be able to reason
    with the Followers of the Word of God?
[19:26] John
    What's your take on the Nightmare?
[19:28] Merazophis
    Honestly... I have no idea.
[19:32] Merazophis
    I don't know how to begin
    framing its actions.
[19:35] Merazophis
    Like it's sinister, but... honorable?
[19:38] John
    Sinister and honorable.
[19:41] John
    We really don't know where
    to begin with this thing.
[19:43] Servant
    Sir, there's big trouble!
[19:44] Merazophis
    What's all this commotion about?
[19:46] Servant
    The Nightmare is healing the deathly ill!
[19:49] John
    What in the world is that
    spider thinking?
[19:53] K
    Looks like I've wiped out all
    the bandits in this area.
[19:57] K
    The local lord seems to think I'm a threat.
[20:01] K
    Well, I am a monster.
[20:03] K
    His wife seems to have a pretty
    positive opinion of me, though.
[20:08] K
    It seems like the religion around
    here worships a Goddess,
[20:12] K
    and spiders are considered sacred.
[20:14] K
    The Goddess used to have a spider servant
     known as the Divine Beast.
[20:18] K
    Come to think of it,
[20:20] K
    I remember a certain Demon Lord having
    the title "Ancient Divine Beast."
[20:26] K
    I know she and I are kind of like relatives,
[20:29] K
    but I'm also on her bad side at the moment!
[20:32] K
    Does that mean I'm a big deal
    blasphemer to the Goddess religion,
[20:35] K
    who needs to be purged?!
[20:37] K
    I think I'm just gonna put
    that out of my head for now!
[20:40] K
    Hey, someone's coming.
[20:42] Mother
    Oh, great Divine Beast!
[20:45] Mother
    Please, please save my son!
[20:47] K
    Whoa, she wants help?
[20:50] K
    And it's not like I'm this Divine Beast.
[20:52] K
    This is like a case of mistaken
    arachnid identity.
[20:56] K
    But I may as well give it a whirl.
SIGN    <Liver Cancer>
[21:04] K
    Liver cancer?!
[21:06] K
