[00:05] PRIEST
    It has been ten years since the great
    sage Alabaster gave his prophecy.
[00:10] PRIEST
    How we have waited for this day.
[00:23] (Flashback) SATOU
    Almost got it...
[00:27] (Flashback) SATOU
    Whoa!
[00:34] (Flashback) SATOU
    What is this?
[00:37] (Flashback) SATOU
    Are they aliens?
[00:41] (Flashback) SATOU
    It's a girl!
[00:45] (Flashback) HIME
    Boy...
[00:46] (Flashback) HIME
    What is your name?
[00:48] (Flashback) SATOU
    I... I'm Satou.
[00:51] (Flashback) HIME
    I see. What an odd name.
[00:54] (Flashback) HIME
    My name is, uh... Hime Nokana.
[00:59] (Flashback) SATOU
    Hime?
[01:01] (Flashback) HIME
    Satou, you cannot tell anyone
    what you saw here.
[01:06] (Flashback) HIME
    In fact, please forget all about it.
[01:10] (Flashback) HIME
    In exchange,
[01:13] (Flashback) HIME
    I will be your friend.
[01:20] SATOU
    Back then,
[01:23] SATOU
    young as I was,
[01:26] SATOU
    I felt that I had to protect
    this girl in front of me.
[01:31] SATOU
    And somehow,
[01:32] SATOU
    I knew that it would have to be
    for a long, long time.
SIGN    Ten Years Later
[03:19] HIME
    Good morning, Satou.
[03:23] SATOU
    Hime...
[03:24] SATOU
    Morning.
[03:26] HIME
    Breakfast's ready.
[03:31] SATOU
    Bit early for a feast, isn't it?
[03:33] HIME
    School's out after today,
    so I woke up early and excited.
[03:38] SATOU
    Hime—Himeno Nonaka and
    I have been friends since we were kids.
[03:44] SATOU
    It's been ten years since
    she moved in next door.
[03:49] SATOU
    Her parents don't seem to be around,
    and she lives with her grandpa.
[03:56] SATOU
    Y'know, you've changed a lot
    since we started high school.
[04:00] SATOU
    You used to keep a lower profile before.
[04:04] HIME
    Well, it only made me stick out even more,
    what with my blonde hair and all.
[04:10] HIME
    Besides, I'm "Hime," a princess!
[04:13] HIME
    I need to be strong!
[04:15] SATOU
    What's with that?
    You've been saying it for years.
[04:21] SATOU
    Wait, what?
[04:29] SATOU
    Hime?
[04:34] HIME
    Rice on your face.
[04:51] HIME
    Hey, Grandpa.
[04:54] SATOU
    Good morning, Hime's grandpa.
[04:56] ALABASTER
    Good morning, Satou.
[04:59] HIME
    We're heading out.
[05:01] ALABASTER
    Have a nice day.
[05:05] HIME
    Is your dad not coming home yet?
[05:08] SATOU
    Probably not until the end of summer break.
[05:10] HIME
    You sure have it rough.
[05:12] SATOU
    I'm used to it.
[05:18] (Flashback) HIME
    These rings?
[05:21] (Flashback) HIME
    I'll give one to the person I marry.
    They're really important to me.
[05:25] (Flashback) HIME
    Say, Satou...
[05:28] (Flashback) HIME
    When we grow up,
[05:31] (Flashback) HIME
    will you marry me?
[05:35] HIME
    What is it?
[05:37] HIME
    You can't have these.
[05:40] HIME
    They're really important to me.
[05:46] SATOU
    Oh, well. That's usually
    how childhood promises go.
[05:51] HIME
    Hurry up! We're gonna be late!
[05:53] SATOU
    C-Coming.
[05:56] GIRL 1
    How'd you do on the finals?
[05:58] GIRL 2
    Couldn't have gone worse.
[06:00] HIME
    Ta-da!
[06:02] GIRL 1
    Wow, Hime! You're so smart!
[06:05] HIME
    Heh, heh. A princess needs
    to be smart, as well.
[06:09] GIRL 1
    There it is.
[06:10] GIRL 2
    Again, of what country?
[06:13] TANAKA
    Summer break starts tomorrow,
    and I'm all alone!
[06:17] TANAKA
    You're so lucky, Satou.
[06:18] TANAKA
    Look at your chill aura.
[06:20] TANAKA
    Guys with girlfriends are different.
[06:23] TANAKA
    I mean Nonaka-san! Don't think I don't see you
    coming to school together every day!
[06:27] SATOU
    We're just neighbors, dude.
[06:30] TANAKA
    Listen, man. Don't get too
    comfortable with the status quo.
[06:35] SUZUKI
    Right? When you finally get off your ass
    and make a move, it might be too late.
[06:39] TANAKA
    If I had a girl that cute around,
    I'd already be with her.
SIGN    Hime
SIGN     Summer Festival
     Let's go to the summer
     festival after school.
     Meet in front of the
    shrine at 6:30.
[06:42] SUZUKI
    I dunno, she's a little too flashy for me.
[06:44] SATOU
    Why a text?
[06:45] TANAKA
    Then what is your type?
[06:47] SUZUKI
    I'm more into the quiet, refined girls.
[06:51] SATOU
    Uh, maybe...
[06:54] SATOU
    I can get my hopes up?
[07:00] SATOU
    Hime!
[07:03] SATOU
    Whoa, a yukata?
[07:05] HIME
    What's this?
[07:07] HIME
    Did I take your breath away?
[07:08] SATOU
    K-Kinda, I guess?
[07:12] HIME
    I-It's good that you're so honest!
[07:15] HIME
    Okay, let's go.
[07:17] SATOU
    Yeah.
SIGN    Cotton Candy
SIGN    Buttered Potatoes
SIGN    Okonomiyaki
[07:20] HIME
    Wow, this is great!
SIGN    Takoyaki
[07:23] HIME
    Festivals are so exciting!
[07:27] HIME
    Hey, Satou, do you remember?
[07:30] HIME
    We came to this festival when
    we were little and got lost.
[07:35] HIME
    You said, "This way, we won't
    get separated from each other,"
[07:38] HIME
    and held my hand the whole time.
[07:41] HIME
    You were my hero back then.
[07:44] SATOU
    You mean I'm not now?
[07:47] HIME
    Who can say?
[07:51] HIME
    Anyway, let's get something to eat.
[08:01] HIME
    So cute!
[08:02] SATOU
    Y-You think?
[08:08] SATOU
    This is how we've always been.
[08:12] HIME
    Satou, get that for me!
[08:16] SATOU
    I'll play.
[08:17] STALLGUY
    That'll be 500 yen.
[08:21] SATOU
    I used to think that I was
    fine with the status quo
[08:24] SATOU
    if it was between that
    and ruining our friendship.
[08:27] SATOU
    But now...
[08:45] SATOU
    I can do this.
[08:47] SATOU
    The mood's perfect. I think I can do this!
[08:51] SATOU
    Hey, Hime, I'm in lo—
[08:57] HIME
    Beautiful.
[09:03] HIME
    I'm so glad
[09:05] HIME
    I got to see this with you.
[09:09] SATOU
    Me, too.
[09:18] HIME
    Hey, Satou...
[09:21] HIME
    There's something I haven't been
    able to tell you for a while now.
[09:26] SATOU
    Wait, what?
[09:29] SATOU
    Could it be...
[09:31] SATOU
    Could it be?!
[09:34] HIME
    I...
[09:35] SATOU
    Me, too! I'm in...
[09:38] HIME
    I'm going to be moving.
[09:46] SATOU
    Huh?
[09:49] SATOU
    When?
[09:52] HIME
    Tomorrow.
[09:55] HIME
    We're going back to Grandpa's homeland.
[09:58] HIME
    It's very far away.
[10:00] SATOU
    No way!
[10:05] HIME
    Thanks for tonight, Satou.
[10:07] SATOU
    Hime...
[10:08] SATOU
    I...
[10:09] HIME
    I'm glad I got to see the fireworks with you.
[10:13] HIME
    And the festival...
[10:15] HIME
    And this plushie!
[10:18] SATOU
    Is there no changing this?
[10:21] HIME
    Honestly...
[10:23] HIME
    I made some amazing memories to take with me.
[10:28] HIME
    Goodbye!
[10:29] SATOU
    Hime!
[10:32] SATOU
    Hime...
[10:37] SATOU
    She said it was far away,
[10:40] SATOU
    but where is she going?
[10:43] SATOU
    Looking back, I thought I knew her,
    but I actually don't know anything about her.
[10:49] SATOU
    Even the day I met her.
[10:52] SATOU
    I feel like...
[11:03] SATOU
    That's right.
[11:05] SATOU
    I feel like something really
    strange happened that day!
[11:15] SATOU
    Hime!
[11:19] SATOU
    Please don't go!
[11:22] HIME
    So you remember.
[11:25] HIME
    Then you must understand.
[11:28] HIME
    I'm not "moving."
[11:30] HIME
    I'm going home to a different world.
[11:35] HIME
    You see, I'm getting married.
[11:40] HIME
    I'm a princess, after all. It is what it is.
[11:44] SATOU
    W-Wait!
[11:46] HIME
    So this really is it.
[11:49] HIME
    Goodbye, Satou.
[11:51] HIME
    It's been fun.
[11:56] SATOU
    Hime!
[12:00] SATOU
    What did I come here for?
[12:03] SATOU
    To see Hime off?
[12:06] SATOU
    Hell no!
[12:08] SATOU
    In that case...
[12:10] SATOU
    No point wasting time thinking about it!
[12:24] PRIEST
    Princess of Nokanatika,
[12:26] PRIEST
    Krystal Novaty Nokanatika.
[12:29] PRIEST
    Second prince of Gisaras,
    Marmarugias Gisaras.
[12:32] RETAINER 1
    Who is that?
[12:33] RETAINER 2
    Did he follow the princess?
[12:33] PRIEST
    These rings will now bind you.
[12:36] SATOU
    Where am I?
[12:37] PRIEST
    With a sacred kiss...
[12:39] PRIEST
    Who's there?
[12:40] SATOU
    Hime!
[12:44] HIME
    Satou...
[12:47] MARS
    Princess Krystal?
[12:48] MARS
    Who is he?
[12:53] MARS
    Stand back!
[12:55] SATOU
    What?
[12:56] ELF
    Eek!
[12:57] RETAINER 2
    A monster from the Abyss!
[13:01] ALABASTER
    I knew it. They're after the princess's life.
[13:04] ALABASTER
    We were right to hide her in the other world!
[13:08] ALABASTER
    Hup!
[13:10] SATOU
    Hime's grandpa?!
[13:11] ALABASTER
    Satou-kun? What are you doing here?!
[13:17] ALABASTER
    It appears we really do
    need the Ring of Light...
[13:21] ALABASTER
    Krystal! Give the Ring of Light to the prince!
[13:26] HIME
    Satou!
[13:28] SATOU
    This is seriously bad news.
[13:34] HIME
    Satou!
[13:52] ALABASTER
    What have you done?!
[13:55] MARS
    So that's how it is, Princess Krystal.
[13:58] MARS
    You there! Use this!
[14:01] SATOU
    Whoa, a real sword!
[14:04] SATOU
    That's cool and all,
    but what do I do with it?!
[14:08] HIME
    Behind you, Satou!
[14:16] SATOU
    I don't get it,
[14:18] SATOU
    but I just gotta do this, right?!
[14:26] SATOU
    Huh?
[14:37] HIME
    Good morning, Satou.
[14:41] SATOU
    Where are we?
[14:43] HIME
    The royal couple's bedroom.
[14:44] SATOU
    Couple?!
[14:46] HIME
    I mean, you remember, right?
[14:49] HIME
    We shared a kiss and all.
[14:56] SATOU
    W-We did!
[14:59] SATOU
    So Hime really does love me?
[15:03] HIME
    I was supposed to marry that prince.
[15:09] HIME
    But I don't really know him.
[15:12] HIME
    And I didn't wanna marry some stranger.
[15:14] HIME
    So when I saw a familiar face,
    I just went for it.
[15:18] SATOU
    You just what?!
[15:20] HIME
    And, well...
[15:22] HIME
    Sorry! I chose you to be our hero!
[15:27] MAID 1
    He's the Ring King!
[15:29] MAID 2
    They say he came from another world.
[15:31] MAID 1
    He's amazing!
[15:33] MAID 1
    He sliced that monster in half
    with that sword of light!
[15:37] RETAINER 1
    That wedding was meant to build a bridge
    between the Kingdom of Light and the Empire.
[15:43] RETAINER 2
    If the Emperor learns of this,
    he will be furious.
[15:48] MARS
    The maiden of the Rings of Light chooses
     the Ring King who will save the world.
[15:53] MARS
    He and I merely followed the tradition.
[15:59] MARS
    My father's will and the
    Empire's plans have no bearing.
[16:03] RETAINER 2
    This failure of a second prince
    thinks he knows it all.
[16:06] ALABASTER
    Are you finished?
[16:09] ALABASTER
    We granted you this audience
    because you all wished to see him.
[16:15] ALABASTER
    But there are many others
    waiting for their king.
[16:19] RETAINER 2
    Tch.
[16:21] ALABASTER
    Now, come this way.
[16:29] ALABASTER
    I present to you the defeater of the Abyss,
    bringer of light to Arnulus: your Ring King!
[16:36] ALABASTER
    Hey, Satou-kun, say something.
[16:39] SATOU
    What?!
[16:41] CITIZENS
    Ring King! Ring King!
[16:44] ALABASTER
    They have eagerly awaited
    the return of the Ring King.
[16:47] ALABASTER
    You are their greatest hope.
[16:50] ALABASTER
    Don't let them down.
[16:55] SATOU
    I...
[16:58] SATOU
    I...
[17:00] SATOU
    I am Satou, the Ring King!
[17:04] SATOU
    I came from my world to save yours!
[17:08] SATOU
    I am your hero!
[17:14] SATOU
    I...
[17:15] SATOU
    I think I let things go to my head!
[17:23] SATOU
    Hime?!
[17:25] HIME
    Listen, Satou!
[17:27] SATOU
    Wh-Wh-Why are you here?!
[17:29] HIME
    I didn't have a choice!
    We're technically newlyweds!
[17:33] HIME
    Don't look at me!
[17:40] HIME
    I'm sorry, Satou.
[17:42] HIME
    I knew what would happen
    once I gave you that ring...
[17:47] SATOU
    Where's this coming from?
[17:49] HIME
    This has nothing to do with you,
[17:52] HIME
    but I dragged you into it.
[17:56] SATOU
    I'll be fine.
[17:58] SATOU
    We are on summer break and all.
[18:01] SATOU
    And besides...
[18:02] SATOU
    I'm the Ring King, the husband chosen
    by the Maiden of Light herself.
[18:07] SATOU
    Right?
[18:10] HIME
    Yeah, but...
[18:12] SATOU
    Also, you have to be here, right?
[18:16] HIME
    Yeah, this is my world.
[18:19] HIME
    But you're different.
[18:21] SATOU
    Then I'll stay here, too.
[18:24] SATOU
    That monster yesterday came
    after you and the ring, right?
[18:29] SATOU
    If this is something only I can do,
    then I'll stay by your side.
[18:37] (Flashback) GIRL 1
    Her hair's so weird.
[18:38] (Flashback) BOY 1
    She's a bad girl!
[18:40] (Flashback) GIRL 2
    We should stay away from her.
[18:45] (Flashback) HIME
    Satou.
[18:48] HIME
    Yeah.
[18:51] HIME
    You've always been my hero.
[18:54] SATOU
    Hm?
[18:55] HIME
    It's nothing.
[18:57] HIME
    Thanks!
[19:04] HIME
    Hey!
[19:05] SATOU
    S-S-Sorry!
[19:07] HIME
    Just so you know,
[19:09] HIME
    royal weddings are usually just for show!
[19:12] HIME
    And I only picked you on impulse!
[19:16] HIME
    You really don't need to take it seriously!
[19:21] SATOU
    Sure. But you know...
[19:24] SATOU
    Impulse or not, it made me happy.
[19:27] SATOU
    I'm glad you picked me.
[19:35] HIME
    Gosh, you really like me, huh?
[19:41] SATOU
    Yeah.
[19:43] HIME
    As a friend, right?
[19:46] SATOU
    Of course, you're very dear to me...
[19:51] SATOU
    A dear friend.
[19:56] HIME
    Oh.
[20:01] SATOU
    Wh-What's going on?
[20:12] ABYSSAL KNIGHT
    Ring King.
[20:20] SOLDIER 2
    The Ring King is here!
[20:25] SOLDIER 2
    This way.
[20:28] SOLDIER 2
    Oh, did we interrupt something?
[20:30] HIME
    Not yet!
[20:32] SATOU
    "Yet"?!
[20:33] SOLDIER 2
    Ring King, several monsters
    from the Abyss are attacking.
[20:38] SOLDIER 2
    The one from the other day
    may have been a scout.
[20:42] SOLDIER 2
    Please help us.
[20:44] SATOU
    Who, me?
[20:50] HIME
    No way! Satou doesn't know how to fight!
[20:53] ALABASTER
    We still need him to.
[20:57] ALABASTER
    So long as he wears that ring, that is.
[21:01] ALABASTER
    Okay?
[21:02] HIME
    No...
[21:07] SATOU
    Yeah, I've got you.
[21:13] SOLDIER 2
    Take this.
[21:16] ALABASTER
    The Ring of Light repels evil.
[21:20] ALABASTER
    It grants you strength and bestows the light
    of purification upon whatever you hold.
[21:26] ALABASTER
    In other words, it creates weapons
    that are perfect for defeating the Abyss.
[21:32] SATOU
    I don't know much about this world.
[21:35] SATOU
    But I can tell how much it means to you.
[21:40] SATOU
    And that's reason enough
    to do everything I can!
[21:52] ALABASTER
    Go forth, Ring King Satou!
[21:55] ALABASTER
    Defeat the evil beings, and save this world!
[22:00] HIME
    Go get 'em, honey.
[22:04] SATOU
    Thanks.
[22:07] SATOU
    I'll be right back!

[00:08] Maid
    N-No!
[00:17] Maid
    R-Ring King!
[00:19] Satou
    Get out of here, fast!
[00:20] Maid
    Y-Yes!
[00:22] Satou
    That was the third one.
[00:24] Satou
    I passed out after just
    one swing before, but now...
[00:27] Alabaster
    That's because of the kiss
    you just shared with the princess.
[00:32] Alabaster
    The strength of your bond as husband and wife
[00:34] Alabaster
    translates directly to power from that ring!
[00:37] Alabaster
    It's a princess's duty to provide strength
    to a king heading into battle.
[00:43] Satou
    So that's why Hime...
[00:47] Alabaster
    Well, you still won't last
    very long right now, Satou-kun.
[00:51] Alabaster
    But don't worry!
[00:52] Alabaster
    I'm with you, as well!
[00:54] Satou
    That reminds me.
    Are you really strong or something?
[00:58] Satou
    I heard them calling you
    Sage Asparagus or something?
[01:01] Alabaster
    Alabaster!
[01:06] Satou
    What?
[01:09] Satou
    He's different from the ones before?
[01:12] AbyssKingKnight
    The Ring of Light...
[01:15] AbyssKingKnight
    The Ring King!
[01:17] Alabaster
    That figure!
[01:19] Alabaster
    I-Impossible!
[01:20] Alabaster
    A Knight of the Abyss King?!
[01:23] Satou
    Hime gave me this power!
[01:26] Satou
    I can still keep going!
[01:27] Alabaster
    Don't!
[01:31] Satou
    Wh-What is this wind?!
[01:38] Satou
    That hurt quite a bit...
[01:40] Satou
    But I guess it's thanks to the ring
    that I was only harmed this much?
[01:43] Alabaster
    Satou-kun, we're running!
[01:45] Satou
    Huh?!
[01:46] Alabaster
    Listen, just hurry!
[01:47] Satou
    What's going on?!
[01:58] Alabaster
    I can't believe they sent
    something that strong.
[02:01] Alabaster
    I suppose that just shows how
    much they fear the Ring King.
[02:05] Satou
    What was that thing?
[02:07] Satou
    I couldn't even get close to it.
[02:10] Alabaster
    That was a knight of the Abyss King!
[02:12] Alabaster
    It's a terrifying monster capable
    of wielding powerful magic!
[02:15] Satou
    Magic?!
[02:16] Satou
    I thought I was supposed to be able to
    handle them using the power of the ring?!
[02:19] Alabaster
    We can talk about that later!
[02:21] Alabaster
    I'll buy us some time!
[02:28] Satou
    W-Wow!
[02:30] Satou
    What is this?!
[02:32] Alabaster
    I manipulated the elements
    of creation using my will
[02:35] Alabaster
    in accordance with the laws of this world.
[02:38] Alabaster
    That was also magic.
[02:40] Alabaster
    Now, once we make it through there...
[02:43] Satou
    Grandpa!
[02:48] Alabaster
    Oh, no!
[02:50] Alabaster
    They've pincered us!
[02:57] Satou
    Huh? Prince?!
[03:01] Marse
    Hurry!
[03:02] Marse
    There's a carriage over there!
[03:03] Satou
    Hold on!
[03:04] Satou
    We're fleeing from the castle?!
[03:07] Satou
    But Hime is still inside!
[03:08] Marse
    Don't worry about that!
[03:10] Marse
    Just come this way, now!
[03:19] Hime
    Thank goodness you're safe.
[03:22] Satou
    Hime...
[03:26] Marse
    We still let the monsters
    reach the south tower in the end...
[03:31] Marse
    I was forced to bring the princess
    to safety before danger could reach her.
[03:36] Satou
    Thanks for rescuing us earlier.
[03:40] Satou
    Uh...
[03:42] Marse
    My name is Marmarugias Gisaras.
[03:45] Marse
    I'm the second prince of the Gisaras Empire,
[03:48] Marse
    neighbor of the Kingdom of Light, Nokanatika.
[03:50] Satou
    Ma? Mar? Margarita-san?
[03:54] Satou
    Thank you very much.
[03:58] Marse
    You can just call me Marse.
[04:01] Marse
    More importantly, Sage,
    will the Kingdom be all right?
[04:06] Alabaster
    The Abyss King is currently
    after the rings and the Ring King himself.
[04:12] Alabaster
    Once he learns they're not in the castle,
    he should commence a search.
[04:16] Alabaster
    I doubt the Kingdom will suffer further harm.
[04:18] Alabaster
    However...
[04:20] Alabaster
    It will prove difficult to eliminate
    high-ranking monsters
[04:24] Alabaster
    like the Abyss King's knights
    without the power of light.
[04:28] Satou
    So that means I really do have to be
    the one to do something about them!
[04:31] Alabaster
    And we're running away because you don't
    have enough power to do that, Satou-kun.
[04:35] Satou
    What do you mean,
     I don't have enough power?
[04:38] Alabaster
    Well, your power as the Ring King
    is still but a small amount.
[04:44] Alabaster
    In order to bring out your full power,
[04:47] Alabaster
    you'll need the other four rings.
[04:51] Satou
    Other four?
[04:54] Satou
    But this is a wedding ring, right?!
[04:58] Satou
    So you mean...
[05:00] Alabaster
    Yes.
[05:01] Alabaster
    Satou-kun, you will have to
[05:03] Alabaster
    marry four other princesses
    and obtain the rings from them!
[05:10] Satou
    What?!
[05:11] Satou
    That would be polygamy, though!
[05:14] Alabaster
    That's what it means to be the Ring King.
[05:16] Alabaster
    There's no problem there.
[05:18] Alabaster
    Well? Kind of exciting, isn't it?
[05:21] Alabaster
    Hmm? That's five princesses, you know.
[05:23] Satou
    Well, I-I guess?
[05:24] Alabaster
    You'll be living every man's dream!
[05:26] Satou
    No, I have Hime!
[05:27] Hime
    It doesn't excite me at all.
[07:03] Marse
    There're only two rooms available?
[07:06] Marse
    Then us three men will share a room.
[07:08] Alabaster
    No.
[07:10] Alabaster
    It might be dangerous to leave Krystal alone!
[07:13] Alabaster
    I'll have to share her room.
[07:15] Hime
    Huh? No way.
[07:19] Marse
    That means you, her husband,
    will have to share her room.
[07:28] Alabaster
    Now then, before we start
    taking action tomorrow,
[07:31] Alabaster
    let's go over a few simple things.
[07:35] Alabaster
    Like the true duty of the Ring King.
[07:40] Alabaster
    Long ago,
[07:43] Alabaster
    this world was on the verge of succumbing
    to the dark powers of the Abyss.
[07:48] Alabaster
    The hearts of mankind were nearly
    broken from the endless assault of evil,
[07:52] Alabaster
    and many nations were covered
    by the shadow of death and lost.
[07:58] Alabaster
    The Ring King sought to dispel that darkness,
[08:01] Alabaster
    and so he forged rings imbued with magic.
[08:04] Alabaster
    The five rings were the rings of Light,
    Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth.
[08:13] Alabaster
    With their power, the Ring King
    fought a long and grueling battle,
[08:17] Alabaster
    ultimately defeating and
    sealing away the Abyss King.
[08:20] Alabaster
    Afterwards, the five princesses
    married to the Ring King
[08:26] Alabaster
    passed the five rings down through
    the generations within their five nations.
[08:32] Alabaster
    That set of five rings
    served as proof of the bond
[08:35] Alabaster
    between the Ring King and those princesses.
[08:38] Alabaster
    And now, the Abyss King has revived
    and is slowly regaining his power.
[08:45] Alabaster
    The duty of the Ring King
[08:47] Alabaster
    is to once again obtain the rings
    from each of the five princesses,
[08:51] Alabaster
    and use their power to seal the Abyss.
[08:56] Satou
    So that's the duty of the Ring King.
[09:02] Hime
    About what he said earlier...
[09:05] Hime
    You don't need to worry about it.
[09:07] Hime
    Marriage... is just a formality anyways.
[09:10] Satou
    No, I...!
[09:12] Hime
    Satou?
[09:13] Satou
    Maybe it's a bruise?
[09:16] Satou
    I thought it was nothing.
[09:18] Hime
    Strip!
[09:19] Satou
    Huh?! That's awfully bold all of sudden!
[09:21] Hime
    Quit fooling around at a time like this!
[09:28] Hime
    It's my fault.
[09:32] Satou
    No, this is because I got carried away.
[09:35] Hime
    No!
[09:37] Hime
    It's because I chose you.
[09:42] Satou
    Hime?!
[09:50] Satou
    Hime!
[09:53] Satou
    Where did she go?
[09:58] Satou
    Marse.
[10:01] Marse
    What's the matter?
[10:03] Satou
    Have you seen Hime?
[10:05] Marse
    Princess Krystal just passed through here.
[10:08] Satou
    Huh?!
[10:11] Marse
    I see.
[10:13] Marse
    The Ring King and the Ring Princess.
[10:16] Marse
    It's a heavy responsibility, and that duty
    can become too much to bear sometimes.
[10:20] Satou
    No! It's nothing that bad!
[10:23] Marse
    You know...
[10:25] Marse
    I'm grateful to you.
[10:30] Marse
    To be honest,
[10:31] Marse
    I'm relieved that I've avoided
    the duty of the Ring King.
[10:37] Marse
    You chased that woman here
    from another world, right?
[10:42] Marse
    She must be precious to you.
[10:44] Satou
    Well, I just...
[10:51] Marse
    You threw away the world you knew
    just to pursue the woman you love.
[10:56] Marse
    That's no easy task.
[10:59] Marse
    You can take pride in it.
[11:03] Marse
    Sorry for delaying you.
[11:07] Marse
    She's probably in the rear garden up ahead.
[11:09] Satou
    Oh, right!
[11:14] Satou
    Thanks a lot!
[11:19] Marse
    If only I had his courage, as well.
[11:31] Hime
    Satou?
[11:35] Satou
    I...
[11:39] Satou
    I love you, Hime!
[11:45] Satou
    Not just as a friend.
[11:48] Satou
    I really love you.
[11:52] Satou
    I'm here because I want to be here.
[11:56] Satou
    It's what I've decided.
[11:58] Satou
    So you don't have to feel responsible for it.
[12:03] Hime
    You have resolve, don't you?
[12:08] Hime
    I'm still struggling with it...
[12:12] Hime
    I tried to forget my time as Himeno Nonaka
[12:16] Hime
    and fulfill my duty
    as the maiden of the Ring of Light.
[12:21] Hime
    I was even about to marry someone
    I never knew for the sake of this world,
[12:25] Hime
    and I would've endured much worse...
[12:29] Hime
    But because you chased after me...
[12:33] Hime
    all of my resolve vanished.
[12:37] Hime
    After all, that meant I could actually
    marry the man I really love.
[12:45] Hime
    But my husband will become the Ring King.
[12:48] Hime
    He will fight, get hurt,
    and even marry other Princesses, too.
[12:54] Hime
    And I don't want to see
    the man I love do those things.
[13:01] Satou
    Hime...
[13:02] Satou
    I'm sorry.
[13:04] Satou
    I was only thinking of myself.
[13:07] Hime
    No, that's not it.
[13:11] Hime
    I'm going to drop the act!
[13:14] Hime
    This time, I'll steel my resolve.
[13:18] Hime
    It won't just be a formality.
[13:20] Hime
    I'll fulfill my duty to you
    and the ring as your real wife!
[13:25] Satou
    Hime...
[13:28] Hime
    Satou...
[13:31] Hime
    Will you take me as your bride once more?
[13:38] Satou
    Yeah.
[13:46] Both
    What now?!
[13:49] Hime
    After saying all that...
[13:52] Satou
    It feels like we've built up the mood for that!
[13:56] Hime
    Satou!
[13:57] Satou
    Ah!
[13:58] Hime
    I'm, um... I'm prepared
    to become your wife, so—
[14:20] Satou
    Is it really okay to just do it?!
[14:23] Satou
    I know I wanted this, but...
[14:25] Satou
    but this isn't...
[14:36] Hime
    Satou? What's the matter?
[14:40] Satou
    It's wrong.
[14:43] Satou
    It's not supposed to be like this.
[14:45] Hime
    Huh?
[14:47] Satou
    Our first time together is supposed
    to be sweeter than this!
[14:51] Hime
    Huh?!
[14:53] Satou
    Just going with the flow like this is wrong!
[14:57] Satou
    There's no way it's okay for the ten years
    I spent pining for you to end like that!
[15:02] Hime
    What? That's creepy.
[15:05] Satou
    Anyway!
[15:07] Satou
    This isn't like us at all.
[15:11] Satou
    We've gone beyond childhood
    friends to being married.
[15:14] Satou
    So let's take our time
    enjoying the things couples do.
[15:19] Hime
    Yeah. You're right.
[15:32] Alabaster
    How was it? Did you sleep well last night?
[15:35] Hime
    Yeah! Just great!
[15:38] Hime
    I couldn't sleep at all!
[15:42] Alabaster
    What, you two haven't
    done anything since then?
[15:46] Alabaster
    After you got all worked up, too!
[15:49] Alabaster
    How boring!
[15:50] Satou
    You were watching?!
[15:52] Alabaster
    Whoops, slip of the tongue.
[15:54] Alabaster
    Bonds. Those are what grant
    the Ring King his power, remember.
[16:02] Alabaster
    So it's a good thing for you two
    to deepen your bond.
[16:08] Marse
    Good morning.
[16:09] Marse
    Looks like you two resolved your problem.
[16:13] Marse
    Now, take these.
[16:16] Marse
    Those outfits from the other world
    stand out a bit too much after all.
[16:22] Alabaster
    Now, let's be off.
[16:24] Alabaster
    First, we head to the hidden village
    of the elves, the children of knowledge.
[16:29] Alabaster
    To Wind's Romca.
[16:31] Satou
    Elves? You mean the ones
    with long ears? Those elves?
[16:35] Alabaster
    I do.
[16:36] Alabaster
    The Ring of Wind is passed down
    among their royal family.
[16:41] Alabaster
    And also...
[16:42] Alabaster
    Elves are a truly beautiful race!
[16:45] Alabaster
    That immediately gets you
    motivated, right, Satou-kun?!
[16:50] Satou
    Well...
[16:50] Hime
    Stop it, Grandpa!
[16:52] Hime
    I'm your real wife, got it?!
[16:55] Satou
    Yeah! I know!
[16:56] Hime
    Do you really get it?
[16:58] Satou
    Yeah! No worries!
[16:59] Hime
    Jeez, are you really sure?
[17:04] Nef
    The Ring King...
[17:07] Nef
    A man from the outside...
[17:09] Nef
    How disgusting!
[17:16] Satou
    Nestled in a deep valley lies the land
    where beautiful and wise elves live.
[17:22] Satou
    This land was once viewed
[17:24] Satou
    as a sacred place where knowledge
    from throughout the world was gathered.
[17:29] Satou
    However, 50 years ago,
[17:30] Satou
    Romca was suddenly
    surrounded by a wall of storms.
[17:42] Alabaster
    This is the tempest wall
    that blocks the entry of other races?
[17:46] Alabaster
    This nation has changed an awful lot, too.
[17:50] Hime
    Grandpa, have you been here before?
[17:53] Alabaster
    Long ago.
[17:54] Alabaster
    However, there was no wall
    when I last came here.
[18:06] Satou
    What is that?
[18:08] Satou
    Is that one of the Abyss King's monsters, too?!
[18:12] Alabaster
    No, that's just a beast of the forest.
[18:15] Alabaster
    It's like a bear.
[18:17] Satou
    Oh, just a bear!
[18:19] Satou
    So it's just a wild animal.
[18:21] Satou
    Meaning it's not dangerous.
[18:24] Alabaster
    You fool!
[18:26] Alabaster
    Who in their right mind approaches
    a wild animal without caution!
[18:30] Alabaster
    Bears in the forest are plenty dangerous!
[18:32] Satou
    I'm sorry!
[18:35] Satou
    Shit!
[18:36] Satou
    Now we can't run!
[18:40] Elf
    Hurry, this way!
[18:47] Satou
    The bear went flying.
[18:51] Elf
    Who are you people?
[18:53] Elf
    What are humans doing out here?
[18:57] Satou
    Their ears are long...
[18:59] Satou
    which means...!
[19:01] Alabaster
    Children of the wind, you have
    my gratitude for saving us.
[19:05] Alabaster
    We are...
[19:07] Satou
    I'm the Ring King!
[19:08] Satou
    I've come to meet your princess!
[19:12] Hime
    Hey! Satou!
[19:14] Hime
    The ring nations aren't guaranteed
    to be cooperative, you know!
[19:18] Satou
    Urk, really?!
[19:20] Elf
    The Ring King. I see.
[19:23] Elf
    I had heard the rumors...
[19:27] Elf
    All right.
[19:28] Elf
    We'll lead you to the palace.
[19:30] Elf
    I don't think it's going to work
    out for you, though.
[19:36] Elf
    You'll need to pass through the roots
    of this giant tree to reach Romca.
[19:40] Satou
    That's... inconvenient.
[19:43] Elf
    It's for safety.
[19:44] Elf
    Small creatures able to pass through
    here won't cause much harm,
[19:49] Elf
    and powerful monsters
    are driven away by the wind.
[19:52] Elf
    It's reassuring.
[20:01] Satou
    So this is Romca, the Ring of Wind's nation?
[20:14] Hime
    I wonder what she's like,
[20:17] Hime
    this elf princess.
[20:19] Satou
    It'll be fine, no matter who it is.
[20:22] Satou
    I'll accept the ring to save this world.
[20:25] Satou
    Nothing else will happen.
[20:39] Satou
    Huh?
[20:40] Satou
    No one's here?
[20:41] Hime
    Ah!
[20:42] Hime
    Behind the throne!
[20:46] Satou
    That's the princess?
[20:48] Satou
    She looks really wary of me!
[20:51] Hime
    Y-Yeah...
[20:54] Nef
    So you're... the Ring King?
[20:59] Satou
    Yes!
[21:00] Satou
    I'm Satou, the hero from another world!
[21:03] Nef
    Another world?!
[21:04] Satou
    That's right!
[21:09] Nef
    And the two of you... are married, right?
[21:14] Nef
    Meaning that...
[21:18] Nef
    you've already done it?
[21:19] Both
    Huh?
[21:21] Nef
    You know, m-m-m-ma—
[21:26] Hime
    What is this girl asking us?!
[21:29] Nef
    Ma—
[21:29] Hime
    Not yet!
[21:30] Nef
    You haven't made out?!
[21:32] Hime
    That's what you meant?!
[21:34] Satou
    Uh, yeah, we have.
[21:37] Hime
    This isn't good. We can't be
    getting flustered over this.
[21:41] Hime
    The Ring of Light is already on his hand.
[21:45] Hime
    We seek the Ring of Wind, according to legend,
[21:47] Hime
    so we may drive away
    the threat of the Abyss King—
[21:49] Nef
    H-How dirty!
[21:52] Nef
    Touching your lips to another's!
[21:54] Both
    Huh?!
[21:56] Nef
    That's gross!
[21:57] Satou
    She fled!
[21:59] Nef
    Blegh!
[22:03] Satou
    Huh?
[22:05] Satou
    Huh?
[22:07] Satou
    Huh?!

[00:00] Nef
    Blegh!
[00:03] Hime
    She's gone?
[00:07] Jade
    Good grief...
[00:08] Jade
    What a hopeless shut-in princess.
[00:12] Jade
    As you can see,
[00:13] Jade
    this is what our nation's princess is like.
[00:16] Jade
    I think it'll prove difficult
    to get the ring from her.
[00:19] Satou
    Uh, who might you be?
[00:22] Jade
    I'm Jade Romca.
[00:24] Jade
    I'm the eldest son
    of the previous Wind King Romca,
[00:27] Jade
    and the older brother
    to the princess of the Ring of Wind
[00:30] Jade
    that just ran away, Nefritis Romca.
[00:33] Jade
    So,
[00:35] Jade
    you're the famous new Ring King?
[00:43] Satou
    Wha?!
[00:45] Alabaster
    Wh-What are you doing?!
[00:47] Satou
    Let go! Let go of me!
[00:50] Jade
    We'll be taking him into custody for a while.
[00:54] Jade
    Of course, the rest of you will be
    treated as state guests.
[00:59] Hime
    Satou...
[01:03] Satou
    Umm...
[01:04] Satou
    have I done something wrong?
[01:08] Jade
    My little sister Nefritis is...
[01:11] Jade
    very, very delicate.
[01:13] Satou
    Yeah, kind of timid, kind of immature—
[01:19] Jade
    Don't judge her by your standards, human!
[01:22] Jade
    Listen. Nefritis is an angel!
[01:26] Jade
    She's pure and kind...
[01:28] Jade
    and while she may be timid,
[01:30] Jade
    she loves me, her older brother...
[01:34] Jade
    She's a very, very good girl!
[01:38] Jade
    However...
[01:39] Jade
    she's rarely ever left the palace,
[01:41] Jade
    let alone our nation, for certain reasons.
[01:45] Jade
    That's why she's unaccustomed to outsiders.
[01:48] Jade
    She's only 54, too,
[01:50] Jade
    so it's way too early for her to get married.
[01:53] Satou
    Fifty-four?!
[01:55] Jade
    I should be fondly watching over
    her growth as her older brother...
[02:00] Jade
    so all I need you to do is wait here patiently.
[02:05] Jade
    Oh, it'll only be for a mere 80 years.
[02:07] Satou
    Eigh—?!
[02:08] Jade
    That'll be enough time for Nef to mature.
[02:12] Satou
    Hey!
[02:13] Satou
    You might be fine with that,
    but I'll die of old age!
[02:21] Elf
    Are you sure about this?
[02:23] Elf
    Won't doing this just...
[02:24] Jade
    I don't care.
[02:27] Jade
    I don't care about this so-called Abyss King.
[02:30] Jade
    Our nation will be safe as long as
    we have our tempest wall.
[02:33] Jade
    We have to protect the Ring of Wind
    responsible for that power.
[02:37] Jade
    That's what's most important.
[04:14] Satou
    It's been three days...
[04:16] Satou
    Is he seriously planning
    to hold me here forever?
[04:20] Peridot
    Ring King.
[04:25] Satou
    Who are y—?!
[04:27] Peridot
    Don't be so loud.
[04:31] Peridot
    What do you hope to gain
    by gathering the five rings?
[04:36] Peridot
    World peace?
[04:37] Peridot
    Absolute power?
[04:40] Peridot
    Maybe beautiful princesses?
[04:47] Satou
    I don't know what your deal is,
[04:49] Satou
    but what I want is Hime's happiness.
[04:52] Satou
    To live a happy married life with Hime!
[04:59] Peridot
    You are a strange one.
[05:00] Peridot
    You'll use the enormous power of
    the Ring King for just one woman, huh?
[05:06] Peridot
    I like you.
[05:16] Peridot
    You should follow me.
[05:20] Satou
    Why are you helping me?
[05:22] Peridot
    I'm the one responsible for
    watching over this country's future.
[05:26] Peridot
    Only you, the Ring King,
    are capable of opposing the Abyss King.
[05:31] Peridot
    Prince Jade knows that,
    and yet he still imprisoned you.
[05:35] Peridot
    All because of that tempest wall.
[05:38] Peridot
    That...
[05:39] Peridot
    is a cage entrapping the elves.
[05:57] Peridot
    Now, we're here.
[05:59] Peridot
    This is the Wind Temple,
[06:01] Peridot
    the location of the Wind Ring.
[06:10] Satou
    The ring?!
[06:11] Peridot
    Yes.
[06:13] Peridot
    That is one of the rings of power,
    the Wind Regalia.
[06:17] Peridot
    The ring that Nefritis should have inherited.
[06:21] Satou
    What is the ring doing here?
[06:23] Satou
    Shouldn't the princess have it?!
[06:27] Peridot
    Hide!
[06:32] Peridot
    That furball is moving?!
[06:34] Peridot
    No, that's the...
[06:49] Nef
    Father, Mother...
[06:51] Nef
    The Ring King has come from the outside world.
[06:55] Nef
    He's here...
[06:56] Nef
    to steal both the ring and me.
[06:59] Nef
    But I will never go outside.
[07:03] Nef
    I'll honor your command, Mother.
[07:06] Nef
    Please continue to protect our nation's peace.
[07:13] Satou
    She's praying to statues of her parents?
[07:17] Peridot
    Statues?
[07:18] Peridot
    You're wrong.
[07:19] Peridot
    Though their hearts have stopped
    and their bodies are petrified,
[07:23] Peridot
    they continue using the power of the ring
[07:25] Peridot
    to create that wall of wind
    as our pitiful protectors.
[07:29] Peridot
    They're the real elf king and his queen.
[07:32] Satou
    Huh?!
[07:33] Nef
    Is someone there?!
[07:35] Peridot
    She noticed us?
[07:36] Satou
    Cheeep, cheep cheep cheep cheep!
[07:40] Peridot
    Wh-What are you—?!
[07:41] Satou
    Well, trying to fool her?
[07:43] Peridot
    You idiot! There are no birds in here!
[07:46] Nef
    P-P-Playing hide-and-seek?!
[07:50] Nef
    C-C-Come on out, you scoundrel!
[07:55] Satou
    It's me, the Ring King, Satou.
[07:59] Nef
    Th-Th-The Ring King?!
[08:05] Peridot
    Good grief.
[08:07] Peridot
    She's as meek as ever.
[08:10] Servant
    Princess? Is something the matter?
[08:13] Peridot
    It'll mean trouble if people
    from the palace catch us.
[08:15] Peridot
    Bring Nefritis with you, Ring King.
[08:18] Satou
    Huh?! Wait, to where?!
[08:20] Peridot
    Don't worry.
[08:21] Peridot
    I know everything there is
    to know about this place.
[08:24] Peridot
    You just leave it to the Elder of the elves.
[08:27] Satou
    E-Elder?!
[08:32] Servant
    Princess?
[08:34] Jade
    Nefritis has disappeared?!
[08:36] Elf
    Yes!
[08:37] Elf
    We're certain that she entered the Wind Temple,
[08:39] Elf
    but she hasn't been seen since.
[08:40] Jade
    Anyone! Has no one has seen Nefritis?!
[08:46] Jade
    It couldn't be!
[08:57] (Flashback) Peridot
    I've known that girl since
    the day she was born.
[09:00] (Flashback) Peridot
    She may be like this now,
    but she's a strong girl at heart.
[09:04] (Flashback) Peridot
    She'll accept a bit of forcefulness.
[09:07] (Flashback) Peridot
    Fulfill your duty.
[09:09] (Flashback) Peridot
    Obtain the ring.
[09:11] (Flashback) Peridot
    Well, have a good time.
[09:13] (Flashback) Satou
    Huh?
[09:19] Satou
    Wait, wait, no, no, no!
[09:22] Satou
    I'm just claiming the ring!
[09:24] Satou
    Nothing more than that!
[09:33] Nef
    R-Ring King?!
[09:35] Satou
    It's okay!
[09:36] Satou
    I won't do anything, so calm down!
[09:42] Nef
    Blegh!
[09:46] Jade
    I knew it!
[09:47] Jade
    There's no mistake! It's his doing!
[09:54] Peridot
    That's right, Jade.
[09:58] Jade
    Elder!
[10:00] Peridot
    The Ring King has left
    with the Maiden of the Ring of Wind.
[10:04] Peridot
    The two of them have eloped.
[10:06] Jade
    E-Eloped?!
[10:10] Jade
    I-Impossible.
[10:11] Jade
    Nef is so terrified of others!
[10:15] Peridot
    Face reality, Jade.
[10:17] Peridot
    Your little sister! Eloped!
    With the man she loves!
[10:22] Peridot
    She'll never tell you,
    "I love big brother the most!" anymore!
[10:30] Peridot
    Now cool your head a bit, Jade.
[10:33] Peridot
    It was always the princess' destiny
    to inherit the Ring of Wind
[10:36] Peridot
    and grant power to the Ring King.
[10:38] Peridot
    Your actions were never
    for the good of Nefritis.
[10:42] Jade
    For the good of Nefritis?
[10:47] Jade
    The ring is still in my father
    and mother's hands,
[10:51] Jade
    and the nation is still protected by its magic.
[10:54] Jade
    That is what's best.
[10:56] Jade
    There's no need for Nefritis
    to inherit the ring!
[11:01] Jade
    Elder.
[11:02] Jade
    I'm going to have your manor searched.
[11:07] Nef
    I'm so sorry!
[11:08] Nef
    For making you wash my clothes, too!
[11:11] Satou
    My clothes needed to be washed anyway.
[11:14] Nef
    Ah, I can't believe I've soiled the
    inter-dimensional super-being, the Ring King!
[11:19] Nef
    How could I do such a terrifying thing?!
[11:26] Satou
    Hey, am I really that scary?
[11:29] Nef
    Yes, incredibly so!
[11:30] Satou
    An instant reply, huh?
[11:32] Nef
    I grew up without ever leaving the palace.
[11:37] Nef
    So anyone from outside is scary.
[11:41] Nef
    And you, the Ring King,
    are from outside our nation...
[11:44] Nef
    and from a whole world
    outside of ours, as well...
[11:51] Satou
    I know I might have come from another world,
[11:54] Satou
    but I'm really not anyone that special.
[11:57] Satou
    I'm probably not that much different
    from the humans of this world.
[12:04] Nef
    What kind of place is it?
[12:07] Satou
    Huh?
[12:07] Nef
    The world you come from.
[12:10] Nef
    What's it like?
[12:12] Satou
    What's it like? Well...
[12:16] Nef
    It's a terrifying place, isn't it?
[12:19] Nef
    The kind of place that has oceans
    full of orcs and goblins,
[12:22] Nef
    where you could be attacked
    by dragons just walking down the street?
[12:25] Satou
    No, no, no!
[12:27] Satou
    There aren't any monsters like that!
[12:29] Satou
    So in that sense, it's a peaceful world.
[12:33] Nef
    And elves?
[12:34] Nef
    Do you have elves?
[12:36] Nef
    In your world?!
[12:38] Satou
    E-Elves?!
[12:39] Nef
    Yes!
[12:40] Satou
    So close!
[12:41] Satou
    No, there probably aren't any elves.
[12:45] Nef
    There aren't...?
[12:48] Satou
    Are you interested in my world, by chance?
[12:52] Nef
    Huh?
[12:54] Satou
    They called you the shut-in princess,
[12:57] Satou
    so I thought you'd be more averse to it.
[13:00] Satou
    Oh, sorry!
[13:01] Satou
    That's what your older brother called you,
[13:03] Satou
    but I guess that's rude to say, huh?
[13:05] Nef
    It's all right.
[13:07] Nef
    I know others call me that.
[13:10] Nef
    Besides, even if I am interested
    in the world outside the palace,
[13:15] Nef
    it doesn't negate the fact
    that I'm still afraid.
[13:20] Nef
    I usually just read the books the Elder
    brings me about the outside world,
[13:26] Nef
    and I imagine what the scenery is like,
    what it smells like, what it feels like,
[13:32] Nef
    and I get so excited imagining those things.
[13:34] Nef
    It's fun, and it feels like
    I could go anywhere...
[13:39] Nef
    But the real me is stuck in my room,
    and I can't do anything.
[13:44] Nef
    It's weird, isn't it?
[13:47] Satou
    Can't do anything, huh?
[13:51] Satou
    I'm pretty much the same.
[13:53] Nef
    Huh?
[13:54] Satou
    I didn't come here because of
    any special powers or anything.
[13:58] Satou
    I just came here because I didn't want to be
    separated from the woman I loved.
[14:02] Satou
    But once I took a chance and made the leap,
[14:05] Satou
    things worked out better than I expected.
[14:09] Nef
    Took a chance...
[14:12] Nef
    One day!
[14:14] Nef
    I want to try going to your world!
[14:17] Nef
    Would you take me there with you?!
[14:22] Satou
    Sure, I don't mind doing that, but...
[14:26] Satou
    your front...
[14:33] Nef
    I'm sorry!
[14:34] Nef
    I got so absorbed in our conversation!
[14:38] Satou
    You know, I have to wonder...
[14:40] Satou
    if you're that interested in the outside world,
[14:42] Satou
    then why have you never gone outside before?
[14:46] Nef
    That's because...
[14:48] Jade
    Nefritis!
[14:49] Nef
    That voice is...
[14:51] Jade
    Nefritis!
[14:53] Jade
    I know you're in there!
[14:55] Jade
    Come on out!
[14:57] Satou
    I became the Ring King
    because I chased after Hime.
[15:01] Satou
    So while it might be my duty
    to gather the rings now,
[15:04] Satou
    I have no intention
    of forcing anyone to marry me.
[15:08] Nef
    Hime...
[15:09] Nef
    That's Princess Krystal, right?
[15:12] Satou
    Yeah.
[15:13] Satou
    It's up to you what you want to do with me.
[15:17] Nef
    I'll try my best, too.
[15:20] Nef
    I'm sure my older brother
    will come to understand.
[15:30] Jade
    Get away from her, Ring King!
[15:32] Hime
    Satou...
[15:37] Nef
    Brother, the Ring King is not
    the kind of man you think he is!
[15:42] Jade
    That's foolishness!
[15:44] Jade
    You're being deceived!
[15:46] Jade
    The ring rests in Father and Mother's hands,
[15:48] Jade
    and our nation is being protected by it.
[15:52] Jade
    You understand that, don't you?
[15:54] Nef
    Even so, I have to inherit it one day!
[15:59] Nef
    I can't be protected forever. I—
[16:03] Jade
    Nefritis!
[16:05] Jade
    I am not asking for your opinion.
[16:08] Jade
    Do you intend to betray our parents' wishes?
[16:15] Jade
    Come to me.
[16:21] Satou
    Nefritis?!
[16:29] Jade
    Now, Ring King.
[16:31] Jade
    You not only escaped from prison,
[16:32] Jade
    you also abducted Nefritis,
    our nation's treasure.
[16:36] Jade
    You're prepared for the consequences, yes?
[16:39] Peridot
    Wait, Jade.
[16:41] Peridot
    I was responsible for all of that.
[16:43] Jade
    Elder!
[16:45] Jade
    I have no idea what you were thinking.
[16:49] Jade
    However, there are limits, even for you!
[16:52] Peridot
    Like you're one to talk, Jade.
[16:54] Peridot
    The way you treated
    the Ring King is unforgivable.
[16:59] Peridot
    I'll take care of the Ring King.
[17:03] Peridot
    You won't object, right?
[17:05] Jade
    Very well.
[17:07] Jade
    But never show yourself before Nefritis again.
[17:11] Jade
    Got it?
[17:21] Hime
    I was so worried about you.
[17:24] Hime
    They didn't hurt you anywhere, did they?
[17:26] Satou
    I'm fine.
[17:27] Satou
    Though three days in a cell was rough.
[17:30] Hime
    Lucky you, getting rescued
    by a beautiful woman.
[17:34] Hime
    You managed to get on good terms with
    the princess at some point, too, I see.
[17:39] Satou
    Are you jealous?
[17:44] Hime
    Is that bad?
[17:46] Satou
    N-No, it's not a bad thing!
[17:54] Peridot
    Sorry for the late introductions,
    Maiden of the Ring of Light.
[17:59] Peridot
    I am the oldest elf in Romca, Peridot.
[18:03] Hime
    Oh! Uhh...
[18:04] Hime
    I am the princess of Nokanatika,
    Krystal Novaty Nokanatika.
[18:11] Satou
    Elder,
[18:12] Satou
    do Nefritis' father and mother have something
    to do with how she wound up like that?
[18:19] Peridot
    Ring King, Maiden of the Ring of Light,
[18:23] Peridot
    I want you two to know this story.
[18:26] Peridot
    It's about how Romca came to be
    enveloped in a wall of wind,
[18:30] Peridot
    and why Nefritis is like that now.
[18:34] Peridot
    To start off,
[18:36] Peridot
    Nefritis and Jade's mother wasn't
    the firstborn meant to inherit the rings.
[18:41] Peridot
    She had an older sister.
[18:44] Peridot
    In order to keep the ring
    from leaving the village
[18:46] Peridot
    and protect it through the generations,
[18:48] Peridot
    it became customary for the elven princesses
    to marry someone from within our village.
[18:53] Peridot
    However, the eldest princess
    fell in love with a traveler.
[18:58] Peridot
    A human one at that.
[19:00] Peridot
    The elves began to fear.
[19:02] Peridot
    "If the traveler receives one of the rings,
    he might take it out of the village."
[19:07] Peridot
    "No, that traveler approached the princess
[19:10] Peridot
    intending to steal the ring
    from the very beginning."
[19:14] Peridot
    Various rumors began to spread
    throughout the village.
[19:17] Peridot
    As more people whispered those rumors,
    the rumors grew into suspicion,
[19:20] Peridot
    and suspicion grew into conviction.
[19:22] Peridot
    The stronger the opposition
    from those around her grew,
[19:25] Peridot
    the stronger the eldest princess's
    feelings toward the traveler grew.
[19:29] Peridot
    However,
[19:31] Peridot
    the traveler suddenly stopped
    appearing before the princess.
[19:35] Peridot
    Perhaps he was driven off
    by those trying to protect the rings,
[19:39] Peridot
    or perhaps he was erased.
[19:41] Hime
    No way...
[19:42] Satou
    They would go that far for the ring?
[19:46] Alabaster
    The rings of power are symbols of legitimate
    authority from the age of myth.
[19:51] Alabaster
    Some are even used as proof
    to justify a nation's existence.
[19:56] Marse
    They can be blinding
    to nations without any rings.
[20:00] Peridot
    The villagers at the time were relieved.
[20:03] Peridot
    However, can you imagine how they all looked
[20:08] Peridot
    to the princess who had just
    lost her lover so suddenly?
[20:11] Peridot
    The elder princess' heart
    sank into rage and despair,
[20:15] Peridot
    and she left this village
    after laying a curse on it.
[20:19] Peridot
    "May Romca be swallowed by the Abyss!
[20:21] Peridot
    May the line of ring maidens
    come to an end!" she said.
[20:25] Peridot
    That curse she spoke weighed
    heavily on us elves.
[20:29] Peridot
    Because we possess such long lifespans,
[20:31] Peridot
    the fear that her revenge could strike
    at any moment continued on forever.
[20:35] Peridot
    The more years passed, the more
    our people grew consumed by that fear.
[20:40] Peridot
    And the same held true
    for the royalty that remained.
[20:43] Peridot
    Nefritis's parents inherited the rings
    in the eldest princess's stead,
[20:47] Peridot
    but they lived in fear
    of the eldest princess's curse.
[20:50] Peridot
    So to keep evil from ever approaching Romca,
[20:53] Peridot
    she called upon the ring's power
[20:55] Peridot
    and erected a barrier of wind.
[20:57] Peridot
    All to protect this nation... and her children.
[21:03] Peridot
    Though the price she paid was great.
[21:06] Peridot
    She also made Nefritis swear her a promise.
[21:10] Peridot
    A promise to never venture
    outside the wall of wind.
[21:14] Peridot
    That is what led to this village's
    current state.
[21:18] Peridot
    Nefritis wants to honor what
    her parents sacrificed their lives for,
[21:22] Peridot
    and she's convinced she must.
[21:27] (Flashback) Mother
    Nefritis...
[21:29] (Flashback) Mother
    your mother won't be able
    to talk to you anymore.
[21:33] (Flashback) Mother
    Elves don't die of old age,
[21:35] (Flashback) Mother
    but when our hearts stop, so do our bodies.
[21:39] (Flashback) Nef
    Why is your heart going to stop?
[21:43] (Flashback) Mother
    Listen to me.
[21:45] (Flashback) Mother
    You must never leave this country.
[21:48] (Flashback) Mother
    Promise me.
[21:53] (Flashback) Mother
    We'll be watching over you
    until you ------ ------.
[21:59] (Flashback) Mother
    Farewell, my beloved children.
[22:07] Nef
    Mother...

[00:00] Satou
    Give up on the Ring of Wind?!
[00:04] Alabaster
    The Abyss King's armies
    could be closing in as we speak.
[00:09] Alabaster
    We can't afford to delay here any longer.
[00:13] Satou
    But...
[00:14] Alabaster
    We're not giving up.
[00:16] Alabaster
    We're just putting it off.
[00:18] Alabaster
    Right now you need to obtain the most
    rings in the least amount of time.
[00:23] Alabaster
    As it stands, you can't even
    defeat a knight of the Abyss King.
[00:29] Satou
    That... may be true, but...
[00:34] Hime
    Are you... worried about that princess?
[00:38] Satou
    Well, yeah.
[00:39] Satou
    She kind of got put through
    the wringer because of me.
[00:48] Jade
    They're finally leaving.
[00:50] Jade
    The story of the Ring King
[00:52] Jade
    is a tale so old and musty even we
    long-lived elves don't know the truth of it.
[00:57] Jade
    The people who live here now
    are the ones I should protect.
[01:01] Elf
    Jade-sama!
[01:03] Jade
    What is it?
[01:04] Elf
    Bad news!
[01:05] Elf
    Abyss monsters have made it
    past the tempest wall!
[01:09] Jade
    What?!
[01:11] Elf
    We've received word that a powerful monster
    has opened a hole in the barrier!
[01:14] Elf
    Its sending its subordinate monsters
    through a few at time!
[01:18] Jade
    A hole in the barrier?!
[01:20] Jade
    No monster could get through
    the barrier my parents erected!
[01:24] Elf
    We've also received word there are even
    more monsters lurking outside the barrier!
[01:34] Alabaster
    What's that?
[01:35] Alabaster
    An Abyss monster?!
[01:37] Satou
    Huh?!
[01:40] Satou
    How?!
[01:41] Satou
    I thought they had their tempest wall?
[01:44] Satou
    It's heading toward...
[01:46] Satou
    the palace?!
[01:48] Alabaster
    We're turning back, Satou-kun!
[01:51] Alabaster
    We must protect the rings!
[01:53] Satou
    Yeah!
[01:55] Hime
    Then, Satou...
[03:34] Voice
    Fire! Fire!
[03:40] Voice
    How can this be?!
[03:44] Peridot
    Monsters have passed through the barrier.
[03:46] Peridot
    Are you content to do nothing?
[03:50] Nefritis
    My brother will do something about them.
[03:53] Nefritis
    There's nothing I can even do.
[03:57] Nefritis
    I promised my Mother I would stay put here.
[04:05] Peridot
    If you feel that way, then just
    turn yourself to stone right there.
[04:10] Peridot
    An elf who's killed
    their heart has no life to live.
[04:29] Jade
    So you are after the Wind Ring?
[04:32] Jade
    You're planning to use the chaos
    to completely eliminate the barrier
[04:35] Jade
    and let the large army outside invade?
[04:39] Jade
    I won't let you!
[04:52] Jade
    So this... is the Abyss King's knight
    that attacked Nokanatika?!
[04:58] Jade
    Still! I cannot back down!
[05:02] Jade
    I must protect
[05:06] Jade
    my parents' legacy!
[05:19] Alabaster
    We made it in time!
[05:22] Jade
    Ring King!
[05:23] Jade
    You!
[05:24] Jade
    Why have you returned?!
[05:26] Satou
    Just so you know, it wasn't for your sake.
[05:30] Satou
    It's because this is her home.
[05:34] Satou
    I couldn't do anything to stop it last time,
[05:37] Satou
    but this time I will!
[05:39] Satou
    I have plenty of power now!
[05:42] Hime
    Keep your eyes forward! Forward!
[05:45] Marse
    If you fall here, then there's
    no future for this world.
[05:49] Marse
    Be careful not to be too reckless.
[05:51] Satou
    Yeah!
[05:52] Satou
    As long as I can drive it off,
    it's a job well done!
[05:55] Jade
    Fools...
[06:00] Jade
    Their swords won't scratch it,
[06:01] Jade
    and there's no way they can
    cancel out all of its magic.
[06:05] Jade
    They're facing it without
    any hope of victory.
[06:08] Hime
    Satou knows that.
[06:12] Hime
    But no matter how powerful
    or scary the opponent is,
[06:16] Hime
    Satou will still protect me.
[06:19] Jade
    The same goes for me.
[06:25] Jade
    I'll protect my little sister.
[06:27] Jade
    It's all I've lived for
    ever since we swore that oath.
[06:30] Jade
    I have to protect Nefritis!
[06:33] Jade
    From the fate of the rings!
[06:40] Alabaster
    I knew it would be, but this is tough.
[06:45] Satou
    I thought I would fare a little better.
[06:55] (Flashback) Satou
    Hime?
[06:57] (Flashback) Hime
    It's nothing.
[06:59] (Flashback) Hime
    Be careful, okay?
[07:11] Hime
    I'm not good enough.
[07:14] Hime
    Not on my own.
[07:16] Satou
    Hime! Back away!
[07:35] Hime
    Nefritis.
[07:36] Hime
    It's me, Krystal.
[07:43] Alabaster
    Well, Satou-kun, we should retreat for now.
[07:48] Satou
    That's impossible.
[07:50] Satou
    It's after the Wind Ring,
[07:53] Satou
    so we can't abandon this spot.
[07:56] Peridot
    Ring King!
[07:57] Peridot
    The Maiden of the Ring of Light
    went to summon Nefritis!
[08:01] Satou
    Hime has?!
[08:02] Satou
    Why would she—
[08:03] Peridot
    It's all out of concern for you.
[08:06] Peridot
    You have a good wife.
[08:12] Peridot
    We have to hold out a while longer!
[08:17] Hime
    Please...
[08:18] Hime
    Marry Satou!
[08:23] Hime
    It's our first time
    having a proper chat, huh?
[08:26] Hime
    I hope it's okay to speak casually like this.
[08:29] Hime
    If you don't like it, tell me.
[08:34] Hime
    You know, both of my parents...
[08:37] Hime
    also lost their lives
    protecting me and the rings.
[08:42] Hime
    Protecting the rings
    and those who inherit them...
[08:46] Hime
    I know how heavy that duty
    can weigh on a person.
[08:50] Hime
    I also... felt how powerless I was,
    unable to do anything but be protected.
[08:57] Nefritis
    My father and mother sacrificed
    their lives to create the wind barrier.
[09:05] Nefritis
    All so I wouldn't have to inherit the rings!
[09:09] Nefritis
    I have to honor their wishes.
[09:13] Nefritis
    I'm... not like you.
[09:17] Hime
    You're right, you aren't like me.
[09:20] Hime
    But...
[09:22] Hime
    that's why you can protect everyone!
[09:25] Hime
    You're not like I was back then!
[09:27] Hime
    Everyone is fighting!
[09:29] Hime
    Your brother, the Elder, everyone...
[09:32] Hime
    Even though the Abyss King's
    knight is really strong!
[09:36] Nefritis
    That's...
[09:38] Nefritis
    because doing so is the responsibility
    of those who bear the rings.
[09:41] Hime
    No!
[09:43] Hime
    Satou is fighting to protect your home!
[09:47] Hime
    That's what he's fighting for!
[09:49] Nefritis
    Satou-sama is...?
[09:52] Hime
    I know Satou's weird, but he's really nice,
[09:55] Hime
    so I'm sure he'll fight until the last
    minute, even though it might kill him.
[10:01] Hime
    I can't do anything else anymore...
[10:05] Hime
    I hate to admit it,
    but I'm not enough on my own!
[10:08] Hime
    Please! Save Satou!
[10:11] Hime
    Marry Satou!
[10:24] Nefritis
    Can I actually do that?
[10:38] Satou
    Hime! Nefritis!
[10:40] Jade
    Nefritis?
[10:42] Jade
    Why are you here?
[10:44] Nefritis
    Brother... please scold me later.
[10:49] Hime
    You're really sure, right?
[10:52] Nefritis
    Yes!
[10:54] Jade
    What are you?!
[11:00] Nefritis
    Father, Mother,
[11:02] Nefritis
    I'm sorry!
[11:14] Elf
    The wind barrier is fading!
[11:17] Elf
    How can this be?!
[11:21] Nefritis
    Satou-sama!
[11:49] Jade
    This is bad!
[11:50] Jade
    Without the barrier,
    the army of monsters will—
[11:54] Nefritis
    It's all right.
[11:55] Nefritis
    With both Satou-sama's
    Ring of Wind and Ring of Light...
[12:27] Satou
    Wow...
[12:29] Alabaster
    Now, Satou-kun!
[12:31] Satou
    Yeah!
[12:37] Satou
    I can manipulate the wind as I will?!
[13:00] Satou
    Hime, Nefritis?
[13:04] Satou
    I...
[13:11] Peridot
    You're awake?
[13:14] Peridot
    You proved worthy of being
    chosen by the Ring of Light.
[13:18] Peridot
    You were able to draw out
    plenty of the ring's power.
[13:27] Smaragdi
    Ring King.
[13:30] Smaragdi
    Today, you saved our nation of
    Romca from the threat of the Abyss King.
[13:35] Smaragdi
    Allow me to thank you on behalf of
    Romca's princess, Nefritis Romca.
[13:40] Satou
    Wh-Who is this?!
[13:43] Alabaster
    This is woman is the elder sister
    of the previous Queen Romca,
[13:48] Alabaster
    Princess Smaragdi.
[13:50] Hime
    Y-You mean the one who left this country
[13:52] Hime
    after losing her lover
    because of the ring long ago?
[13:56] Satou
    What is she doing here?!
[13:58] Peridot
    You don't remember?
[14:00] Peridot
    The face beneath the mask
    of the Abyss King's knight?
[14:09] Satou
    The true identity of the Abyss King's
    knight was the old ring princess?
[14:15] Peridot
    Look.
[14:19] Satou
    A Black Ring of Wind?
[14:21] Peridot
    Apparently she was controlled by this.
[14:24] Peridot
    Though it's lost its power now.
[14:29] Smaragdi
    I cursed my destiny to inherit the rings,
[14:33] Smaragdi
    and the world that forced it upon me.
[14:36] Smaragdi
    He took advantage of that
    ugliness in my heart.
[14:44] (Flashback) Abyss King
    Take the ring.
[14:49] (Flashback) Abyss King
    I'll save you from your suffering.
[14:59] Satou
    Is there so little known
    about the Abyss King?!
[15:05] Peridot
    We only know it was said that after
    the legendary battle with the Ring King,
[15:10] Peridot
    he lost his body and his soul was sealed
    away in Vanna, the land to the far north.
[15:16] Alabaster
    However, even if no one has seen him,
[15:19] Alabaster
    the Abyss King's minions
    are attacking people.
[15:22] Alabaster
    And his black rings give birth
    to the Abyss King's knights.
[15:27] Alabaster
    The threat he poses is certainly real.
[15:31] Satou
    I see...
[15:33] Satou
    Then we'll have to gather the rings
    quickly and put a stop to him.
[15:38] Hime
    Satou!
[15:40] Satou
    I'm feeling kind of dizzy.
[15:42] Peridot
    You just used a lot of the rings' power.
[15:45] Peridot
    A normal king would be dead already.
[15:48] Peridot
    You got off as easily as you did
[15:51] Peridot
    because you were protected by
    your bonds with two princesses.
[15:54] Peridot
    Be grateful to them.
[15:56] Satou
    Two princesses? I see...
[16:00] Satou
    I actually married one, huh?
[16:03] Satou
    A princess other than Hime.
[16:06] Satou
    But I...
[16:08] Satou
    Nefritis...
[16:09] Nefritis
    Satou-sama!
[16:11] Nefritis
    We have a spring with healing
    properties in the palace!
[16:14] Nefritis
    Let's go visit it!
[16:16] Nefritis
    I'm sure you'll feel better in no time!
[16:31] Satou
    What's going on here?
[16:34] Nefritis
    Yes.
[16:35] Nefritis
    I'm aware that you two are already
    bound by deep love for each other.
[16:40] Nefritis
    So since you became
    his wife first, Krystal-sama,
[16:42] Nefritis
    I'd like you to teach me
    how to be a good wife!
[16:45] Hime
    Wha?!
[16:47] Hime
    Oh, I see.
[16:49] Hime
    Well, Satou and I both understand
    everything about each other!
[16:53] Hime
    We've also kissed plenty of times!
[16:55] Nefritis
    Plenty of times?!
[16:56] Hime
    And of course, when it comes to nightly
    love-making, we do it every night!
[17:00] Satou
    Huh?!
[17:01] Nefritis
    Every night...
[17:02] Peridot
    Oh? I see.
[17:05] Peridot
    Then why don't you show us?
[17:08] Peridot
    Show us how you two make love!
[17:10] Both
    Huh?!
[17:13] Peridot
    I've lain with people from this
    world many times before,
[17:17] Peridot
    but I imagine a man from another world
[17:19] Peridot
    might go about it differently,
    even if it seems similar.
[17:24] Peridot
    This is a great chance!
[17:26] Peridot
    I'm happy to observe carefully
    from the sidelines.
[17:29] Peridot
    Go on, go on.
[17:31] Peridot
    Go on.
[17:32] Peridot
    Go on, go on.
[17:36] Hime
    Watch, Nefritis.
[17:39] Satou
    Hime?!
[17:42] Satou
    Huh? Hime!
[17:51] Hime
    This is your chance, Satou.
[17:53] Hime
    I can't back down now...
[18:03] Satou
    Wait, Hime!
[18:06] Satou
    I don't want us to be
    pressured into it like this!
[18:13] Peridot
    Oh-ho?
[18:23] Smaragdi
    If you're the one they call the sage,
[18:26] Smaragdi
    then perhaps you might know?
[18:28] Smaragdi
    About the traveler
    that visited here 50 years ago?
[18:34] Smaragdi
    The man I loved...
[18:37] Smaragdi
    Was he killed?
[18:39] Smaragdi
    Or did he flee and survive?
[18:47] Smaragdi
    That's...
[18:48] Smaragdi
    That's the gift I gave to him!
[18:51] Smaragdi
    Why do you have it?
[18:53] Alabaster
    I've known him for a long time.
[18:57] Smaragdi
    Is he alive?!
[19:00] Alabaster
    This is what he told me:
[19:03] Alabaster
    "I couldn't bear to see the woman I loved
[19:07] Alabaster
    ostracized because of me."
[19:11] Alabaster
    He now lives a peaceful life
    in a land far from here.
[19:17] Smaragdi
    Does he now?
[19:20] Alabaster
    He's always wished for your happiness.
[19:25] Alabaster
    I'm glad I got this chance to tell you.
[19:42] Nefritis
    Father, Mother.
[19:47] (Flashback) Mother
    We'll be watching over you
    until you grow stronger.
[19:53] Nefritis
    I'll be fine now.
[19:57] Nefritis
    Plus, I've found something I want to do.
[20:02] Jade
    You're going?
[20:03] Nefritis
    Brother.
[20:06] Nefritis
    Yes, I'm going.
[20:11] Jade
    You've grown strong, Nef.
[20:20] Nefritis
    Satou-sama!
[20:24] Satou
    Nefritis?
[20:28] Satou
    Are you sure?
[20:29] Nefritis
    Yes.
[20:30] Nefritis
    It's the duty of a Ring Princess to stay at
    the Ring King's side and offer him strength.
[20:35] Nefritis
    Plus...
[20:37] Nefritis
    I want to see many places
    in the outside world.
[20:41] Nefritis
    And one day, I want to go to your world, too!
[20:46] Nefritis
    You promised me, right?
[20:48] Hime
    Satou, you made her a promise like that?
[20:51] Satou
    Huh? Oh, yeah.
[20:54] Hime
    Hey!
[20:56] Hime
    Oh, Satou, you!
[21:01] Smaragdi
    Do you think the Ring Princess
    will find happiness this time, Elder?
[21:08] Smaragdi
    Or rather...
    one of the original Ring Princesses,
[21:13] Smaragdi
    Peridot-sama.
[21:15] Peridot
    All of the Ring Princesses
    that I've seen have never fared well.
[21:22] Peridot
    That includes the original ring princesses.
[21:25] Peridot
    The new Ring King
    is a bit too meek for a king,
[21:30] Peridot
    but perhaps that will prove
    a good thing for them.
[21:37] Elf
    The Ring King has left?
[21:40] Elf
    Yeah, he's probably
    past Romca's borders by now.
[21:42] Elf
    I see.
[21:44] Elf
    I wanted to try chatting
    with the great sage, Alabaster.
[21:48] Smaragdi
    Alabaster?!
[21:50] Smaragdi
    That man was my—
[21:57] Satou
    What's wrong, old man?
[21:59] Alabaster
    Oh, it's nothing.
[22:03] Alabaster
    Come on, come on. If we don't hurry,
    we'll be sleeping under the stars.
[22:06] Satou
    Yeah, yeah.

[00:02] Hime
    Welcome home, darling.
[00:04] Hime
    Would you like a bath?
[00:07] Hime
    Or dinner?
[00:09] Hime
    Or maybe...
[00:11] Hime
    me?
[00:16] Satou
    I could eat you up right now!
[00:20] Hime
    Oh, Satou...
[00:23] Hime
    honestly, you're so naughty.
[00:35] Hime
    Why?
[00:36] Hime
    Huh?!
SIGN    Huh?!
[00:38] Satou
    Here I go, Nefritis.
[00:41] Nef
    Yes, Satou-sama.
[00:43] Hime
    Wait! That's where I'm supposed to be!
[00:47] Hime
    No!
[00:52] Hime
    Oh, just a dream?
[00:59] Satou
    Here. It's hot, so be careful.
[01:02] Nef
    O-Okay!
[01:04] Satou
    Hmm?
[01:05] Satou
    Hime, you're up?
[01:07] Satou
    Food's ready.
[01:08] Hime
    Oh, yeah.
[01:10] Alabaster
    You should rest while you can.
[01:14] Marse
    So, which ring nation are we heading to next?
[01:17] Alabaster
    I was planning to head for the Land of Water.
[01:20] Alabaster
    It's the nation of dragonfolk.
[01:22] Marse
    Sounds great!
[01:23] Marse
    I wanted to visit there myself.
[01:25] Nef
    Ow!
[01:26] Satou
    Are you okay?
[01:28] Nefritis
    I guess it was still too hot.
[01:31] Hime
    Hmm...
[01:33] Hime
    Now that I think about it,
[01:35] Hime
    Satou has been spending
    all his time with Nefritis lately.
[01:42] Hime
    Hey, Satou, what about mine?
[01:45] Satou
    Oh, sorry.
[01:46] Satou
    Go ahead and help yourself, Hime.
[01:47] Hime
    Wha?!
[01:50] Hime
    Who goes that far?!
[01:52] Satou
    Hime?!
[01:57] Hime
    It's nothing.
[01:59] Satou
    Hime!
[02:03] Hime
    What's that sound?
[02:12] Satou
    What's this?
[02:16] Satou
    The town is moving?!
[02:20] Alabaster
    Oh, lucky us!
[02:23] Alabaster
    I didn't think we'd meet it out here!
[02:27] Alabaster
    This is the Land of Fire, Needakitta,
[02:30] Alabaster
    the nation of wandering knights and cat people.
[04:08] Satou
    This is a nation?
[04:12] Alabaster
    I figured we'd run across it somewhere,
[04:15] Alabaster
    but we can't let this chance pass us by!
[04:17] Alabaster
    We're going to retrieve the Ring
    of Fire from the princess here!
[04:20] Alabaster
    The Land of Water can come later!
[04:24] Marse
    Is that so...
[04:26] Satou
    Did he want to go to
    the Land of Water that badly?
[04:29] Satou
    I wonder if he's close to someone there.
[04:34] Satou
    But how are we supposed
    to enter something like this?
[04:37] Alabaster
    Leave that to me.
[04:39] Alabaster
    Hey! Can we come aboard?
[04:47] Satou
    A ladder?!
[04:48] Alabaster
    Hurry up and climb up.
[04:50] Alabaster
    It's way too dusty down here!
SIGN    Wobble...
[04:59] Satou
    Nefritis?!
[05:01] Nef
    This is where we must part ways.
[05:04] Nef
    It was a fun journey.
[05:05] Satou
    Giving up so quickly?!
[05:08] Satou
    It's okay, Nefritis! I'll—
[05:11] Hime
    Satou!
SIGN    Squeeze!
[05:12] Hime
    I'll keep an eye on Nefritis!
[05:15] Satou
    S-Sure!
[05:19] Hime
    You can do it!
[05:21] Nef
    Yeah... Hup.
[05:29] Hime
    Hey, what are you looking at!
[05:32] Satou
    Whoa, watch it!
[05:33] Marse
    Be careful!
[05:35] Alabaster
    You won't fare well if you fall.
[05:42] Hime
    You did well, Nefritis.
[05:45] Nef
    I'm already exhausted.
[05:47] Nef
    Wow!
[05:55] Satou
    These are supposed to be knights?
[05:57] Hime
    It just looks like an open market to me.
[06:02] Nefritis
    Many strong cat people make up
    Needakitta's knights.
[06:05] Nefritis
    Therefore, many merchants sought to travel
    with them for their protection,
[06:10] Nefritis
    and in doing so it eventually
    became a massive caravan.
[06:13] Nefritis
    It's exactly like my books described!
[06:16] Alabaster
    Yes, you're well informed.
[06:19] Alabaster
    The cat people lost their nation
    during the era of the first Ring King,
[06:23] Alabaster
    so they built their capital on wheels
[06:26] Alabaster
    and became a nation that traveled the world
    selling their martial prowess.
[06:30] Alabaster
    Perhaps it would be easier
    to call them mercenaries?
[06:33] Alabaster
    However, the world's most powerful knights
[06:36] Alabaster
    have now created the world's
    safest mobile market.
[06:40] Alabaster
    Every town the Land of Fire,
    Needakitta, passes by
[06:44] Alabaster
    is able to acquire all manner of goods.
[06:47] Satou
    Hmm...
[06:48] Alabaster
    Now!
[06:49] Alabaster
    Let's start by asking for an audience
    with the Maiden of the Ring of Fire.
[06:55] Satou
    Huh? The other two are gone!
[07:00] Nef
    Amazing!
[07:01] Nef
    It's amazing!
[07:03] Nef
    There are so many rare books!
[07:07] Nef
    Wow! This is the Imauniyai
    mentioned in the Dusk Records!
[07:13] Nef
    Look at this, Satou-sama!
[07:15] Nef
    This is—
[07:17] Nef
    Huh?
[07:18] Hime
    I think we got separated.
[07:20] Hime
    Maybe we're in trouble?
SIGN    Shiver... Shiver...
[07:24] Nef
    Huh?
[07:26] Nef
    Wh-What do I do?!
[07:28] Nef
    There are so many people I don't know!
[07:29] Nef
    Blegh! I feel sick.
[07:35] Nef
    I'm so sorry.
[07:37] Nef
    I'm always causing trouble.
[07:38] Hime
    It's fine. Don't worry about it.
[07:40] Hime
    Hmm?
[07:42] Hime
    Hey, hey, are those the cat people?
[07:44] Nef
    Yes. They look just like
    my books described them.
[07:48] Hime
    That's cute.
    It's like they're wearing cat ears.
[07:51] Nef
    How can you say that?!
[07:52] Nef
    The blood of ancient warriors
    courses through their veins.
[07:55] Nef
    They're wild beasts that served the
    Ring King with bravery and violence.
[08:00] Nef
    Or so my books tell me.
[08:02] Nef
    Also, elf ears are much cuter!
[08:05] Nef
    They're long!
[08:06] Hime
    I-I see...
[08:08] Cat
    Hey, you two!
[08:11] Cat
    Are you lost?
[08:13] Hime
    Yes.
[08:14] Hime
    Um, we got separated from our friends.
[08:17] Cat
    I see.
[08:19] Cat2
    If you get lost in Needakitta,
    then you should head for the arena!
[08:23] Cat2
    It's the biggest landmark around.
[08:25] Hime
    Th-Thank you so much.
[08:27] Cat
    I hope you find your friends.
[08:31] Nef
    They seem different
    from what I read in my books.
[08:37] Satou
    I wonder where Hime and Nefritis got off to.
[08:40] Alabaster
    Calm down, Satou-kun.
[08:43] Alabaster
    Needakitta is a very safe place.
[08:45] Alabaster
    There's only one place for them to go.
[08:47] Alabaster
    It's where the Fire Princess is.
[08:49] Satou
    Ah, I'm so worried!
[08:53] Satou
    They're really staring at us.
[08:56] Satou
    Are you sure this place is safe?
[08:58] Marse
    Yeah. Cat people value strength most of all.
[09:03] Satou
    Oh! I get it!
[09:05] Satou
    I guess strength is just oozing off of me!
[09:08] Satou
    Sorry, but my heart already belongs to someone.
[09:11] Cat
    Hey!
[09:12] Marse
    Hmm?
[09:13] Cat
    I'm guessing from your stance and your build
    that you must be a famous swordsman.
[09:17] Cat
    If you're interested,
    maybe we could get some tea together?
[09:22] Marse
    You shouldn't be judging people
    by their appearances.
[09:24] Marse
    That man there is far stronger than I am.
[09:27] Cat
    Oh, you're so funny!
SIGN    Gloom...
[09:31] Cat
    That boy doesn't have any muscles on him.
[09:35] Marse
    By the way, girls,
[09:37] Marse
    we were hoping to see this nation's princess.
[09:40] Marse
    Do you know where we can go to meet her?
[09:43] Cat
    Another one after the princess?
[09:47] Cat
    All right!
[09:48] Cat
    I guess that means you're hoping
    to court the princess, too!
[09:52] Satou
    Court?!
[09:57] Hime
    This is the arena, right?
[10:02] Hime
    Here.
[10:03] Nef
    Thank you so much.
[10:05] Nef
    Wow, there're so many Imauniyai!
    They look delicious!
[10:09] Hime
    I'm a little scared, but...
[10:13] Nef
    It's delicious.
[10:15] Hime
    It's surprisingly sweet.
[10:17] Hime
    Hmm?
[10:18] Hime
    You've got some on your cheek. Jeez.
[10:24] Nef
    You're just like Satou-sama, Krystal-sama.
[10:28] Hime
    Huh? How so?!
[10:30] Nef
    You're both very kind.
[10:32] Nef
    When I'm with you two,
[10:34] Nef
    I feel like I'm being cared for
    by my mother and father.
SIGN    Mother
SIGN    Daughter?!
SIGN    Father
[10:39] Hime
    Mother...
[10:41] Hime
    No, no, no!
[10:43] Hime
    You're older than me, Nefritis!
[10:45] Hime
    There's no way you could be our daughter!
[10:47] Nef
    Huh?
[10:48] Hime
    Oh, no, it's nothing.
[10:53] Nef
    I've been meaning to
    apologize to you, Krystal-sama.
[10:57] Hime
    Huh? Why?
[10:59] Nef
    Lately, Satou-sama has been
    focused on taking care of me.
[11:03] Hime
    Huh?!
[11:04] Hime
    It's not like I've been worried about that!
[11:06] Hime
    You were raised like
    a real princess, unlike me.
[11:10] Hime
    Satou's a rather caring person, anyway.
[11:13] Nef
    But it still made you jealous, right?
[11:18] Hime
    That's not... exactly untrue.
[11:22] Nef
    My!
[11:25] Nef
    I heard the heart aches more
    the deeper love grows.
[11:29] Nef
    So I think that's proof that
    you truly love Satou-sama.
[11:34] Nef
    Compared to you, I'm just
    watching him with admiration.
[11:40] Nef
    I don't feel like I have strong feelings
    for him the way you do yet.
[11:45] Nef
    But if that's how I feel...
[11:47] Nef
    then will I be able to fulfill my duty
    as the Ring King's wife?
[11:56] Cook
    Good grief.
[11:57] Cook
    This guy didn't stand a chance either, huh?
[12:04] Hime
    Oh, Satou!
[12:06] Satou
    Hime! Nefritis is with you, too, huh?
[12:09] Hime
    This is bad news.
[12:11] Hime
    That guy just got beat up here.
[12:13] Satou
    Huh? Why?
[12:16] Cat
    Now, this way.
[12:17] Cat
    To the stage people court our princess on!
[12:40] Satou
    That's the Land of Fire's princess?!
[12:45] Granart
    Who's next to court me?
[12:51] Granart
    You're the Ring King?
[12:55] Granart
    If you want to be my husband,
[12:57] Granart
    then you must be stronger than me.
[13:01] Granart
    Are you strong?
[13:05] Granart
    I'll test you.
[13:08] Alabaster
    Satou-kun!
[13:18] Hime
    Satou!
[13:20] Granart
    Out of the question.
[13:22] Granart
    I expected better when I heard
    you were chosen as the Ring King,
[13:26] Granart
    but how can a weakling face the monsters
    of the abyss, even if he has a ring?
[13:31] Granart
    If you want to challenge me again,
    come back another day.
[13:39] Granart
    I have lots of men
    who want to court me, after all.
[13:51] Marse
    Make sure you watch your opponent's eyes.
[13:54] Marse
    If you keep letting yourself
    get distracted by their blade...
[13:58] Marse
    See?
[14:00] Satou
    Ow.
[14:01] Satou
    I can't even graze you.
[14:03] Satou
    I'm really bad at this.
[14:07] Cook
    Hey!
[14:08] Cook
    Ring King and company!
[14:10] Cook
    Food's ready!
[14:12] Marse
    All right, let's take a little break.
[14:20] Cook
    The Fire Princess's husband
    has to be someone strong.
[14:24] Cook
    Still, our one problem is that
[14:26] Cook
    not a single man in the nation
    is a match for the princess.
[14:30] Cook
    That's why our princess started
    seeking out people willing to court her
[14:34] Cat
    from races all across the world.
[14:37] Cook
    Granart Needakitta is the strongest cat
    person of our generation, and our princess.
[14:42] Satou
    Is she someone I can even beat?
[14:46] Alabaster
    It would be impossible
     with your skill in the sword.
[14:50] Satou
    Then what's the point of training?!
[14:52] Satou
    And I kind of knew it was useless already!
[14:54] Alabaster
    Have you forgotten what's on your left hand?
[15:01] Satou
    Is that okay?!
[15:03] Satou
    Using magic wouldn't be fair, would it?
[15:05] Cook
    Magic power is basically a mage's muscles.
[15:09] Cook
    It's a fair part of your strength, mister.
[15:12] Cook
    Human wizards often come to court her, too.
[15:15] Cook
    Though they've all been trounced!
[15:18] Alabaster
    The magic of the rings
    is a strength on another level.
[15:21] Alabaster
    If you employ it well,
    then you'll have a chance to win.
[15:24] Alabaster
    Maybe.
[15:27] Cook
    Go on, eat more.
[15:29] Cook
    You'll never get stronger if you don't eat.
[15:31] Satou
    Yeah!
[15:44] Satou
    More courting again today?
[15:51] Satou
    Wow!
[16:08] Hime
    Satou!
[16:09] Satou
    Wah! Hime?
[16:12] Hime
    You look beat.
     All done for today already?
[16:14] Satou
    No, just taking a little break.
[16:17] Satou
    Your grandpa is teaching me
    magic in the afternoon.
[16:20] Hime
    Really?
[16:23] Hime
    Lie down for a bit.
[16:25] Satou
    Hmm?
[16:28] Hime
    A little reward for all your hard work.
[16:30] Satou
    Wow, this is a great view.
[16:34] Hime
    Feel more motivated?
[16:36] Satou
    Forget motivated! I can work as hard
    as I need to if you're doing this for me!
[16:41] Hime
    You're so simple.
[16:52] Hime
    Hey...
[16:53] Satou
    Hmm?
[16:55] Hime
    I think it's okay for you to be weak.
[16:59] Satou
    Hmm?!
[17:00] Satou
    But I can't stay weak.
[17:03] Hime
    You have to marry five princesses
    and gather the rings.
[17:08] Hime
    As long as you use
    the ring's power well, that's enough.
[17:12] Hime
    The strength of the rings
    is the strength of our bonds.
[17:15] Hime
    I'll do my best on my end for that.
[17:19] Hime
    So you don't need to force yourself
    to grow stronger.
[17:24] Satou
    But wouldn't I... be really uncool, then?
[17:28] Hime
    A little uncool is just perfect for you, Satou.
[17:33] Hime
    I like it!
[17:37] Alabaster
    Satou-kun!
[17:38] Alabaster
    It's time to start your magic training.
[17:42] Satou
    I'm heading off.
[17:51] Satou
    I couldn't understand
    a single thing that old man said!
[17:55] Satou
    Hmm?
[17:56] Woman
    How's the pressure?
[17:59] Satou
    Gulp...
[18:00] Marse
    Satou-kun.
[18:02] Satou
    Ow.
[18:04] Satou
    You worked hard today.
[18:06] Satou
    You're doing well for someone
    who just took up the sword.
[18:10] Satou
    I'm kind of surprised.
[18:12] Satou
    You're so skilled at
    martial arts stuff, too, Marse-san.
[18:15] Marse
    Did I seem that frail to you?
[18:18] Satou
    No, you just seem like you don't like fighting.
[18:22] Satou
    Somehow.
[18:23] Marse
    Those born of the Emperor
    must excel in both pen and sword.
[18:29] Marse
    That's just what the Empire I'm from is like.
[18:32] Marse
    My father and older brother
    are even more outstanding than me.
[18:36] Marse
    I could hardly compare to them.
[18:39] Satou
    If you had become the Ring King,
[18:41] Satou
    do you think you could have beat Granart,
    the Land of Fire's princess?
[18:45] Marse
    Even I probably couldn't beat her
    in a contest of swordsmanship alone.
[18:49] Satou
    She's that strong?!
[18:52] Woman
    Would you two men like a scrub, as well?
[18:54] Woman
    It feels really good!
[18:57] Satou
    I think I might take you up on that!
[19:00] Woman
    One customer, if you'd please!
[19:02] Satou
    Please!
[19:05] Master
    Time for a scrub!
[19:08] Satou
    Huh?
[19:11] Satou
    Wha?!
[19:13] Marse
    Well, I'll be going now.
[19:15] Satou
    No way!
[19:16] Woman
    Smooth skin is key to being popular!
[19:19] Woman
    It'll blow away all the fatigue
    from your training, too.
[19:21] Satou
    Wait!
[19:23] Mster
    Now, let's get started!
SIGN    Sparkly Smooth
[19:28] Master
    Now you're a proper man!
[19:35] Satou
    Princess?!
[19:38] Granart
    Satou, was it?
[19:40] Granart
    You can call me Granart, too.
[19:43] Granart
    Well? He got a lot of your fatigue out, right?
[19:47] Granart
    Hmm...
[19:47] Granart
    Since we're here, maybe I'll ask you for one.
[19:55] Satou
    Uh, what?
[19:57] Granart
    Scrub me.
[19:59] Granart
    You just had it done,
    so surely you can do it, too.
[20:01] Satou
    But I'm a man! And I've never done this!
[20:05] Granart
    I don't care.
[20:07] Granart
    You tried to court me and lost.
[20:09] Granart
    So you can do at least one thing I ask, right?
[20:13] Satou
    All right...
[20:18] Granart
    Well? How's my body?
[20:22] Satou
    A-Amazing.
[20:24] Satou
    She has thick, refined muscles
    under her smooth skin.
[20:29] Satou
    I could never match her
    in simple physical strength!
[20:33] Granart
    I'm tired from today's courting, too.
[20:36] Granart
    The people challenging me
    have nothing but glory on their minds.
[20:41] Granart
    To be honest, I'm already growing sick of it.
[20:43] Satou
    Huh?
[20:44] Granart
    Then you appeared.
[20:46] Granart
    It is a Ring Princess's duty
    to serve the Ring King.
[20:50] Granart
    So I wouldn't mind lending you a hand.
[20:56] Granart
    I'm saying that I wouldn't mind losing
    the next time you court me.
[21:00] Satou
    Wha?!
[21:01] Granart
    Shh!
[21:02] Granart
    You're too loud.
[21:04] Granart
    Though we would have to
    save face in front of others.
[21:07] Granart
    So we'll need you to put on a bit of a show.
[21:11] Granart
    Then you can make me yours,
[21:13] Granart
    just like you did the other princesses.
[21:16] Granart
    I think...
[21:17] Granart
    you'll be able to enjoy this body quite a bit.
[21:21] Granart
    I can tell those rings
    aren't just for decoration.
[21:25] Granart
    At the very least, you're already
    qualified to wear them.
[21:31] Granart
    So I'll do my part
    to go along with what you do.
[21:36] Satou
    I don't need you to go easy on me!
[21:39] Satou
    I'm coming to win for real.
[21:42] Granart
    Then give it your best try.
[22:00] Satou
    "I've got to get stronger," my foot!
[22:03] Satou
    That's so uncool.

[00:09] Satou
    I'm feeling better than I thought I would.
[00:11] Satou
    Whoa?!
[00:13] Nef
    Good morning.
[00:15] Satou
    Nefritis?
[00:16] Satou
    How long have you been in there?!
[00:18] Nef
    I've been here all along.
[00:20] Satou
    All along?!
[00:22] Nef
    How's your body feeling?
[00:25] Nef
    The power of the rings is useful
    for healing your wounded body, too.
[00:30] Nef
    You've been working really hard
    so you can beat Granart-sama, right?
[00:35] Satou
    I have.
[00:36] Satou
    I figured I would do everything I could.
[00:39] Satou
    But...
[00:41] Satou
    Honestly, I probably can't win.
[00:43] Nef
    I'm sure you can win if you use
    the power of the rings.
[00:49] Nef
    Of course,
[00:50] Nef
    it wouldn't hurt to have the princess
    you're fighting acknowledge you,
[00:55] Nef
    but the Ring King's duty is
    simply to obtain the rings.
[01:01] Nef
    No one will question the means
    used to achieve that.
[01:03] Satou
    I know you're right, but...
[01:08] Nef
    It's the duty of the Ring Princesses
[01:10] Nef
    to support the Ring King.
[01:14] Nef
    I believe you should do
    what you feel is best, Satou-sama.
[01:21] Satou
    Yeah, you're right.
[01:24] Satou
    Thank you, Nefritis.
[01:29] Nef
    Ah...
[01:32] Satou
    I'll try a bit harder on my own.
[01:42] Nef
    I put myself out there, and it didn't work...
[03:27] Marse
    Whoa.
[03:30] Marse
    You've improved quite a bit.
[03:32] Satou
    You think I can win now?!
[03:33] Satou
    Maybe at least once out of ten times?!
[03:35] Marse
    That's definitely impossible.
[03:38] Satou
    Right...
[03:40] Marse
    Your opponent won't be coming
    at you straightforwardly like I just was.
[03:45] Marse
    Only once you're able to adapt to your opponent
[03:47] Marse
    and demonstrate moves like just now
[03:51] Marse
    will you finally be able
    to land a blow on them.
[03:54] Marse
    Well, now you at least stand
    a one in a million chance,
[03:57] Marse
    rather than none.
[03:59] Marse
    Just use the ring's magic
    and it should work out.
[04:03] Satou
    Hmm...
[04:05] Satou
    One more round, then!
[04:09] Cat
    That's the Ring King?
[04:11] Cat2
    I heard Granart-sama is awfully fond of him.
[04:15] Cat
    I heard she already surrendered
    her body to him.
[04:18] Hime
    Huh?!
[04:19] Hime
    What do you mean by that?!
[04:28] Hime
    So scrubbing is what they meant
    by "surrendered her body"...
[04:33] Hime
    Still...
[04:35] Hime
    That means Satou has touched her, doesn't it?
[04:40] Hime
    He rubbed his hands
    all over that princess's body...
[04:47] Hime
    Never, never, never!
[04:49] Hime
    But maybe...
[04:52] Hime
    I can't keep saying that.
[04:56] Spectator
    The Ring King is challenging her again?
[04:59] Spectator
    This will be a show for once.
[05:01] Knight
    Ow...
[05:03] Knight
    She's so strong...
[05:07] Spectator
    Ring King!
[05:09] Cat
    Princess!
[05:10] Mob
    Ring King!
[05:11] Mob
    Go!
[05:12] Mob
    Princess!
[05:13] Alabaster
    Satou-kun!
[05:15] Alabaster
    Do your best, but be smart!
[05:18] Alabaster
    What's the matter, Krystal?
[05:20] Alabaster
    Aren't you going to cheer for him?
[05:22] Alabaster
    Satou-kun has been working hard these past
    few days to earn that princess's recognition.
[05:28] Hime
    Yeah.
[05:30] Hime
    I don't care if she acknowledges him.
[05:32] Hime
    All he needs from the other
    princesses is their rings.
[05:41] Knight
    That was my chance to be a king
    if I was lucky enough to win.
[05:45] Spectator
    Ring King!
[05:46] Spectator
    You better give us a good show at least!
[05:48] Knight
    It's not fair.
[05:50] Knight
    I can't believe he gets to become
    strong just by obtaining some ring.
[05:55] Knight
    Hmm?
[05:58] Knight
    A ring?
[06:00] AbyssKing
    If you crave power,
[06:03] AbyssKing
    then take me.
[06:07] AbyssKing
    Show me your desire.
[06:19] Granart
    Any change of heart?
[06:21] Satou
    No.
[06:22] Satou
    I'll make you acknowledge me!
[06:27] Cat
    Hey! What are you doing?!
[06:30] Cat
    Leave already!
[06:31] Cat
    If you want a rematch, do it another day!
[06:33] Abyssknight
    Shut up!
[06:35] Abyssknight
    Ring King!
[06:37] Abyssknight
    You may have gotten the better of me in Romca,
[06:41] Abyssknight
    but that won't happen this time!
[06:44] Granart
    Ring King! Dodge!
[07:08] Spectators
    Abyss monsters!
[07:12] Alabaster
    He's summoned monsters!
[07:17] Alabaster
    Fire monsters, huh?
[07:19] CatWarrior
    Stay back, princesses!
[07:25] CatWarrior
    Even after the threat of
    the Abyss King was gone,
[07:29] CatWarrior
    we cat people continued our constant
    training to prepare for his return!
[07:34] CatWarrior
    The forces of the Abyss King
    are nothing to fear!
[07:38] Granart
    Uncouple this district from the rest!
[07:41] Granart
    Don't let a single monster escape from here!
[07:44] Cat
    Yes!
[07:45] Cat
    Hurry!
[07:46] Cat
    Please evacuate from this district.
[07:48] Cat
    Uncouple it!
[07:49] Cat
    Yes!
[07:53] Cat
    It's time to show the world
[07:55] Cat
    the strength of the cat people!
[07:58] Granart
    The Abyss King's knight, huh?
[08:00] Granart
    I've heard the rumors,
[08:02] Granart
    and you'll be a suitable opponent.
[08:05] Granart
    I was just getting bored
    with fighting weaklings.
[08:11] Satou
    Granart!
[08:12] Granart
    You stand back and watch!
[08:19] Granart
    I have to do something about that fire.
[08:25] Satou
    Okay! I can do this!
[08:26] Satou
    Using wind magic!
[08:38] Satou
    Ow!
[08:40] Satou
    I thought it could work if I used
    wind to blow away the flames.
[08:45] Granart
    Leave this to me.
[08:46] Satou
    What are you saying?
[08:48] Satou
    Your sword couldn't reach him, either!
[08:51] Granart
    That's right.
[08:53] Granart
    But I have no intention of giving up.
[08:58] Granart
    Our people are the descendants of the warriors
    who fought alongside the ancient Ring King.
[09:04] Granart
    If you truly are the current Ring King,
[09:07] Granart
    then it's our duty to fight
    alongside you and keep you safe,
[09:13] Granart
    no matter how helpless a man you may be.
[09:20] Satou
    According to the old man,
[09:22] Satou
    I'm not still able to the use
    the magic of the rings that well.
[09:26] Satou
    But!
[09:28] Satou
    If I draw him in as close as possible
[09:31] Satou
    and focus entirely on blowing
    away his flames, then...
[09:34] Granart
    That's dangerous.
[09:35] Satou
    I know I'm far weaker than you, Granart,
[09:38] Satou
    but even so...
[09:40] Satou
    there are still things I can do!
[09:45] Granart
    All right.
[09:47] Granart
    Very well, then.
[09:51] Satou
    The rings are right here!
[09:54] Satou
    Come and get them!
[09:55] Abyssknight
    Rings...
[10:00] Satou
    Not yet...
[10:02] Satou
    I need him closer!
[10:06] Satou
    Now!
[10:18] Satou
    Granart!
[10:19] Granart
    Leave it to me!
[10:26] Granart
    Ring King! Finish him!
[10:49] Satou
    He was being controlled by another black ring?
[10:53] Cat
    Granart-sama!
[10:57] Cat
    We took down all the monsters that appeared!
[11:00] Granart
    Good work.
[11:01] Granart
    Is everyone safe?
[11:02] Cat
    Yes!
[11:03] Satou
    Cat people are strong.
[11:06] Knight
    Huh? What was I...?
[11:15] Granart
    Ring King.
[11:18] Granart
    It seems I underestimated you a bit.
[11:22] Granart
    Even if you lack strength now,
[11:25] Granart
    you have potential.
[11:28] Granart
    I wouldn't mind recognizing you
[11:32] Granart
    as my husband.
[11:37] Hime
    There's nothing I can do.
[11:39] Hime
    This is what Satou's been
    working hard for.
[11:43] Satou
    No.
[11:45] Satou
    Not yet.
[11:47] Satou
    I don't want you to accept me
    as a compromise—
[11:50] Satou
    I'll make you!
[11:52] Satou
    Granart.
[11:53] Satou
    I challenge you to another courting!
[12:01] Granart
    Let's confirm this once more.
[12:03] Granart
    The match will continue until one of us yields
[12:06] Granart
    or is incapable of fighting.
[12:09] Granart
    Here I come!
[12:14] Satou
    Right?
[12:17] Satou
    Left?!
[12:19] Marse
    Satou-kun, calm down!
[12:22] Satou
    I'm not done.
[12:24] Hime
    Why is he doing this?
[12:27] Hime
    She already said she'd give him
    the ring, so this is stupid.
[12:31] Nef
    Krystal-sama, aren't you
    going to cheer for him?
[12:36] Nef
    I'm positive Satou-sama is fighting
    for your sake, Krystal-sama.
[12:44] Hime
    For my sake?
[12:47] Granart
    Use the magic of the rings.
[12:50] Granart
    Surely you aren't underestimating me?
[12:53] Satou
    I'm not.
[12:55] Satou
    The power of the rings is power
    I'm borrowing from the princesses.
[12:58] Satou
    It's not my own strength.
[13:01] Satou
    So even if I won with it...
[13:02] Satou
    I would still be the uncool man who
    lost pathetically in front of my beloved.
[13:08] Satou
    I want to look cool!
[13:11] Satou
    For my most beloved wife!
[13:16] Hime
    Honestly...
[13:18] Hime
    He's such an idiot.
[13:20] Hime
    Satou!
[13:22] Hime
    If you beat Granart!
[13:25] Hime
    I'll let you have sex with me as your reward!
[13:28] Nef
    Huh?!
[13:29] Granart
    Huh?
[13:35] Satou
    All right!
[13:41] Ring's Voice
    How amusing.
[13:43] Ring's Voice
    You truly are an amusing man.
[13:46] Ring's Voice
    I suppose I could lend you some aid.
[13:48] Satou
    This voice is coming from the rings?!
[13:51] Ring
    I'll read her next attack for you.
[13:56] Ring
    You just focus on my voice.
[13:59] Ring
    Then you'll be able to move
    faster for a moment.
[14:02] Satou
    But that's still...
[14:04] Ring
    Don't worry.
[14:06] Ring
    This power isn't from the ring princesses.
[14:09] Ring
    Think of it as a chance
    you earned for yourself.
[14:12] Satou
    I don't really get it, but all right!
[14:15] Ring
    That's the way.
[14:19] Granart
    What's the matter?
[14:20] Granart
    Surely that cheer didn't make you lose focus?
[14:24] Granart
    I'll come to you, then!
[14:29] Satou
    She vanished?!
[14:30] Ring
    Above you.
[14:34] Granart
    What?!
[14:51] Marse
    Satou-kun!
[14:52] Nef
    He did it!
[14:53] Nef
    Satou-sama was amazing!
[14:56] Hime
    He won...?
[15:00] Satou
    What was that just now?
[15:14] Both
    Wha?!
[15:21] Granart
    That was splendid, Ring King.
[15:23] Granart
    You're the first to defeat me.
[15:27] Granart
    I truly have to acknowledge you now.
[15:33] Granart
    Now, let's get to baby-making right away!
[15:39] Granart
    Here in Needakitta,
[15:40] Granart
    victory is valued above everything.
[15:43] Granart
    The losers submit everything,
    body and soul, to the victor.
[15:46] Hime
    Hey! That's—
[15:48] Granart
    I'll have my subordinates
    prepare everything at once.
[15:51] Satou
    Wait.
[15:55] Granart
    What need is there to wait?
[15:57] Granart
    I'm already your wife!
[16:00] Granart
    Or... is this body of mine
    not good enough for you?
[16:05] Satou
    That's not the issue.
[16:07] Satou
    I have a prior engagement.
[16:12] Satou
    An engagement...
[16:13] Satou
    with Hime!
[16:21] Hime
    Y-Yeah...
[16:24] Hime
    I think you worked really hard...
[16:27] Hime
    And...
[16:28] Hime
    this is a reward...
[16:30] Hime
    We are married, so doing stuff like this...
[16:34] Hime
    is necessary, too.
[16:38] Satou
    Hime, listen...
[16:41] Hime
    Satou!
[16:42] Satou
    We should hurry...
[16:50] Hime
    He's about to ravish me!
[16:56] Hime
    It's okay, Satou.
[16:58] Hime
    Go ahead!
[17:03] Hime
    Satou?
[17:08] Satou
    Hime's boobs...
[17:14] Hime
    Right...
[17:16] Hime
    He used the power of the rings
[17:19] Hime
    and kept pushing himself after that, too.
[17:24] Hime
    You were really cool today, Satou.
[17:41] Hime
    Good morning,
[17:45] Hime
    darling.
[17:47] Satou
    Huh?
[17:49] Satou
    When did I fall asleep?!
[17:53] Hime
    You were amazing yesterday, Satou.
[17:55] Satou
    Wha?!
[17:57] Satou
    I don't remember anything!
[18:01] Both
    Hmm?
[18:02] Nef
    You didn't do anything last night.
[18:04] Hime
    Nefritis?!
[18:07] Nef
    I was awake and watching
    from here the whole time.
[18:10] Nef
    Because next is my turn!
[18:12] Hime
    Next?!
[18:13] Granart
    And I'm next after her!
[18:16] Hime
    Granart, too?!
[18:18] Subordinate
    Granart-sama!
[18:19] Subordinate
    It's time!
[18:20] Granart
    Yeah.
[18:21] Granart
    You all come, too.
[18:24] Granart
    We're hosting a banquet.
[18:34] Granart
    The people of Needakitta
[18:36] Granart
    are once more serving under the Ring King
    and fighting alongside him as warriors!
[18:41] Cats
    Yeah!
[18:44] Master
    She's certainly found herself a good partner.
[18:47] Master
    I was starting to worry for a time there.
[18:51] Granart
    Ring King.
[18:53] Granart
    You said you would make me acknowledge you.
[18:57] Granart
    I was happy to hear that.
[19:02] Satou
    Listen...
[19:03] Granart
    I know.
[19:05] Granart
    You were able to completely read my movements.
[19:09] Granart
    Was that pure luck?
[19:10] Granart
    Or something else at work?
[19:14] Granart
    Either way, that victory was
    the result of you refusing to give up.
[19:19] Granart
    I'm satisfied with that.
[19:39] Satou
    Hime?!
[19:43] Satou
    Why did you suddenly...?
[19:46] Hime
    I don't know.
[19:51] Hime
    Satou.
[19:53] Hime
    Hurry up and reassure me.
[20:00] Satou
    I...
[20:02] Satou
    I was truly happy in that moment.
[20:05] Satou
    Back when you cheered for me.
[20:08] Satou
    But...
[20:10] Satou
    I want to wait to do it with you
    until after we return to my world.
[20:17] Satou
    This whole world is a far cry
    from normal to me.
[20:21] Satou
    And if we're advancing our relationship,
[20:23] Satou
    then I want to take that step
    with you properly back home.
[20:27] Hime
    Satou...
[20:29] Satou
    Besides, I don't think that's something
    to be done in place of
[20:32] Satou
    or in exchange for something else.
[20:36] Hime
    Thank you.
[20:38] Hime
    I feel a little better now.
[20:41] Hime
    But...
[20:43] Hime
    I still want to reward you
    for working so hard for my sake.
[20:49] Hime
    So anything you want,
    anything you want to do...
[20:53] Hime
    tell me one thing and I'll do it.
[21:01] Satou
    Then...
[21:02] Satou
    I...
[21:04] Satou
    I want to fondle your boobs.
[21:07] Hime
    Huh?!
[21:08] Satou
    I want! To fondle! Your boobs!
[21:15] Hime
    F-Fine, then.
[21:17] Hime
    You're so horny.
[21:20] Satou
    You mean it?!
[21:21] Hime
    Go ahead.
[21:33] Satou
    Granart?!
[21:35] Hime
    Nefritis?!
[21:36] Granart
    Ahh, jeez, you're so slow!
[21:39] Granart
    Meow!
[21:41] Granart
    I'm already 18!
[21:43] Granart
    Among cat people, I'm already
    treated like an old maid!
[21:47] Granart
    Don't make me wait any longer!
[21:47] Nef
    Krystal-sama, look.
[21:49] Hime
    Huh?
[21:50] Hime
    Catnip?!
[21:51] Granart
    I don't care how it happens!
[22:03] Alabaster
    And thus the Ring King's
    chastity was preserved!

[00:08] Hime
    We're getting out, Nefritis.
[00:10] Nef
    Please wait!
[00:13] Satou
    I heard this was a far corner of the world,
[00:15] Satou
    but it's a lively place, isn't it?
[00:17] Satou
    This Land of Water, Maasa.
[00:19] Alabaster
    Even if the kingdom is remote,
    this is its largest city.
[00:23] Satou
    That reminds me, where's Marse-san?
[00:26] Alabaster
    Apparently, he had some other business.
[00:29] Alabaster
    He went on ahead of us.
[00:31] Satou
    Did he?
[00:32] Satou
    He did seem to want to
    go to the Land of Water.
[00:35] Satou
    I guess there was a reason for that?
[00:40] Saphir
    Excuse me!
[00:41] Satou
    Hmm?
[00:45] Saphir
    You're the Ring King, right?
[00:49] Satou
    Yeah, I am...
[00:50] Saphir
    Wow, that's amazing!
[00:52] Satou
    Huh?
[00:53] Saphir
    I'm a huge fan of yours!
[00:54] Satou
    Man, you're making me blush.
[00:57] Hime
    Huh? He's really popular.
[00:59] Granart
    That's my husband for you!
[01:01] Saphir
    I know! Please take these flowers!
[01:03] Satou
    Huh?
[01:04] Saphir
    And this, as well!
[01:30] Saphir
    I had heard the rumors,
[01:33] Saphir
    but you really are a great fool
    with too little caution, Ring King!
[01:38] Satou
    Wha?!
[01:39] Saphir
    I am Saphir Maasa!
[01:43] Saphir
    Maiden of the Ring of Water!
[01:46] Saphir
    And I just made you my husband!
[01:51] Satou
    Is this even allowed?
[01:52] Alabaster
    Yes, it is.
[03:25] Alabaster
    We're grateful for your quick cooperation,
[03:28] Alabaster
    Maiden of the Ring of Water.
[03:30] Saphir
    Mhm, it was nothing.
[03:33] Saphir
    I see you're unfazed, Great Sage.
[03:36] Saphir
    That leaves...
[03:39] Saphir
    Oh?
[03:41] Saphir
    Well, you princesses may do as you please.
[03:44] Saphir
    I doubt we'll be forming
    any deep connection anyway.
[03:48] Saphir
    Now, Ring King.
[03:50] Saphir
    Since I've made you my husband,
[03:52] Saphir
    that also means you're
    the king of the Land of Water!
[03:56] Satou
    Does it really work that way?
[03:58] Saphir
    You have a duty to peacefully govern this land.
[04:01] Saphir
    Are you prepared to do that?
[04:03] Satou
    S-Sure?
[04:05] Saphir
    Then follow me.
[04:07] Saphir
    It's time for you to use
    your power for my sake.
[04:11] Satou
    You make it sound obvious,
    but what exactly is going on?
[04:16] Saphir
    If nothing is done, this nation will perish.
[04:22] Sluder
    So this is where you've been, Princess Saphir.
[04:28] Sluder
    Please return to the palace.
[04:31] Saphir
    This man here is the Ring King!
[04:33] Saphir
    I just married him moments ago,
[04:36] Saphir
    and handed Maasa's Ring of Water over to him.
[04:38] Saphir
    That doesn't inconvenience you, does it?
[04:42] Sluder
    Very well.
[04:43] Sluder
    For now, I'd like you all
    to come to the palace.
[04:50] Satou
    That's huge!
[04:53] Alabaster
    The Great Falls, Euyumaasa.
[04:56] Alabaster
    The maasterful symbol of
     Maasa, the Land of Water.
[05:00] Satou
    Huh?
[05:01] Nef
    Beyond these waterfalls
    lies the former Land of Earth.
[05:05] Nef
    As well as the dark domain
    where the Abyss King is said to lurk.
[05:09] Satou
    Wow.
[05:11] Saphir
    Take a look.
[05:13] Saphir
    The city streets are
    filled with imperial soldiers.
[05:17] Saphir
    Maasa's troops are no longer to be found.
[05:19] Satou
    The Empire...
[05:21] Satou
    That's Marse-san's country, right?
[05:23] Alabaster
    Good of you to remember.
[05:25] Satou
    I can remember that much!
[05:27] Saphir
    The Gisaras Empire is
    humanity's largest nation,
[05:30] Saphir
    and it continues to grow larger by
    forging ties with many other nations.
[05:34] Satou
    So that guy we saw earlier is...
[05:37] Alabaster
    The first prince of Gisaras.
    Marse's older brother.
[05:41] Satou
    Huh?!
[05:42] Alabaster
    The undefeated general, Sluder Gisaras.
[05:46] Alabaster
    That man is the one turning
    the Emperor's orders into a reality.
[05:50] Alabaster
    While the ring nations have been spared,
[05:53] Alabaster
    he's proven capable of annexing
    many other nations.
[05:57] Satou
    So is the Empire... an evil nation, then?
[06:00] Saphir
    You hardly need to ask.
[06:03] Saphir
    That's an occupying force.
[06:05] Saphir
    Protecting us from abyss
    monsters is just a pretext.
[06:10] Granart
    Some would surely see it that way,
[06:12] Granart
    but isn't it also true that
    they're bringing people together
[06:15] Granart
    to oppose the Abyss King's resurrection?
[06:19] Satou
    You're surprisingly knowledgeable.
[06:21] Granart
    Impressed?
[06:22] Saphir
    Lowly animal, acting like she knows anything.
[06:26] Granart
    Why you!
[06:28] Granart
    You want me to grind you up
    and burn you with catnip?!
[06:35] Satou
    So, this is the palace?
[06:42] Satou
    What?!
[06:44] Saphir
    It's a monster attack.
[06:46] Saphir
    That woman's prediction was right again, huh?
[06:48] Hime
    Are things okay here?!
[06:50] Saphir
    This is why the imperial army
    is stationed here.
[06:54] Granart
    Satou! Look out!
[07:03] Saphir
    Impossible!
[07:04] Saphir
    How can it be here?!
[07:07] Satou
    Huh?
[07:08] Saphir
    Ring King!
[07:24] Satou
    That was close.
[07:28] Saphir
    So that's the power of the rings?
[07:31] Hime
    I'm so glad you're safe.
[07:32] Saphir
    Ring King, Satou... perhaps you can...
[07:33] Satou
    Yeah, somehow.
[07:35] Granart
    That's my husband for you!
[07:40] Sluder
    So the legends
    aren't just fairy tales after all?
[07:48] King
    That man is the Ring King?
[07:51] Saphir
    That's right, Father.
[07:53] Saphir
    This is my husband.
[07:55] Saphir
    I've given the Ring of Water to this man!
[07:58] Satou
    Hey!
[07:59] Saphir
    I know you thought you could
[08:01] Saphir
    lock me away in the palace to keep me
    from handing over the ring,
[08:04] Saphir
    but it looks like all your
    plotting has been foiled.
[08:08] Oracle
    Lock you away?
[08:10] Oracle
    I have no idea what you mean.
[08:14] Saphir
    Vixen.
[08:16] Sluder
    An army of monsters is already drawing close.
[08:19] Sluder
    Please refrain from acting on your own.
[08:22] Oracle
    However, this will prove most troubling, yes?
[08:26] King
    Oh, ohh!
[08:29] King
    She handed the ring over to the Ring King
    just as you predicted she would!
[08:34] King
    Then that means even greater
    disaster will befall our nation?!
[08:40] King
    Ring King!
[08:41] King
    If only you had never come here!
[08:44] Satou
    Huh?! Me?!
[08:54] Oracle
    My, my, any more than this
    will risk your health.
[08:58] Oracle
    Let's get you some rest over there.
[09:00] King
    Ring King!
[09:04] Satou
    Was that suspicious woman your mother, Saphir?
[09:08] Saphir
    Of course not!
[09:09] Saphir
    That woman is the palace's oracle.
[09:13] Saphir
    At some point, my father
    became completely reliant on her,
[09:16] Saphir
    and now he's like that.
[09:19] Saphir
    My father used to be heralded
    as a wise king, too.
[09:27] Saphira
    Sister!
[09:28] Saphira
    Why?
[09:30] Saphira
    I thought we swore we'd decide together
[09:33] Saphira
    which of us would fulfill
    the duty of the ring princess?
[09:36] Saphir
    I'm sorry.
[09:38] Saphir
    I've decided for us.
[09:40] Saphira
    No way!
[09:43] Satou
    If she's calling you sister, then...?
[09:46] Saphir
    Yes, this is my twin little sister, Saphira.
[09:51] Satou
    Twin princesses?!
[09:54] Saphira
    Why would you, Sister?
[09:58] Saphira
    How could you wed such a plain-looking man?!
[10:01] Satou
    Gah!
[10:03] Saphira
    You could have bound yourself
    to a much lovelier gentleman.
[10:09] Saphira
    Ah, did you do this to protect me?!
[10:11] Saphira
    How cruel!
[10:12] Saphira
    Fate truly is a cruel thing!
[10:15] Granart
    I beg your pardon, Saphira-dono.
[10:18] Granart
    Satou is the man who
    defeated me, the Fire Princess.
[10:23] Granart
    I know he may not seem very
    reliable as a warrior, but still...
[10:28] Satou
    I thought you were trying to help me!
[10:30] Nef
    Uh...
[10:31] Nef
    As an elf, I don't really
    understand human aesthetics,
[10:35] Nef
    so I couldn't comment on his looks...
[10:37] Satou
    You, too, Nefritis?!
[10:39] Hime
    Satou's...
[10:40] Hime
    Satou's...
[10:42] Hime
    Satou's very cool!
[10:45] Satou
    Thank you, Hime!
[10:48] Saphir
    Regardless.
[10:49] Satou
    She's not listening!
[10:50] Saphir
    Now you won't have to marry
    the Ring King, Saphira.
[10:55] Saphir
    So it's nothing for you to worry about.
[10:58] Saphira
    Sister...
[11:02] Marse
    Princess Saphira!
[11:09] Hime
    Huh? What's this?
[11:11] Hime
    There's a strange tension here!
[11:13] Marse
    I know anything I say may sound like
    an excuse after everything that's happened,
[11:19] Marse
    but I haven't forgotten
    the promise I made to you!
[11:25] Saphira
    I don't even
[11:27] Saphira
    want to hear your voice anymore.
[11:31] Marse
    Princess Saphira!
[11:35] Saphir
    You're still as good-for-nothing
    as ever, Marse.
[11:43] Satou
    Marse-san has always wanted
    to come to this land, but is that...
[11:48] Saphir
    That man and Saphira had sworn
    their love for each other.
[11:52] Satou
    Huh?
SIGN    A love drama...?!
[11:54] Saphir
    Did he not tell you anything about that?
[11:57] Saphir
    That sounds just like something
    that man would do.
[12:01] Saphir
    Then, I suppose I'll tell you.
[12:03] Saphir
    I'll tell you all about the relationship
[12:05] Saphir
    between our land of Maasa
    and his empire, Gisaras.
[12:13] Saphir
    Long ago, the Gisaras Empire wasn't
    satisfied with just their human territories.
[12:18] Saphir
    So they launched an invasion
    into this land, Maasa, the Land of Water.
[12:25] Saphir
    However, it was hardly even a skirmish,
[12:27] Saphir
    and once the Empire
    realized it couldn't touch us,
[12:29] Saphir
    they turned to diplomacy.
[12:34] (Flashback) Marse
    I am Marmarugias Gisaras,
    second prince of the Gisaras Empire.
[12:38] (Flashback) Marse
    It is my hope to learn from
    the wisdom and history of Maasa,
[12:40] (Flashback) Marse
    and that I may help foster friendship
    between our nations.
[12:51] Saphir
    It didn't take long for the two
    of them to grow close.
[12:59] Saphir
    Their feelings for each other were true.
[13:02] Saphir
    At least, it seemed that way to me.
[13:04] Saphir
    Even if Marse was tasked with a secret mission.
[13:09] (Flashback) Saphira
    Please, just take me away from here!
[13:12] Saphir
    Marse's duty
[13:14] Saphir
    was to inform the Empire
    of the inner workings of Maasa.
[13:18] (Flashback) Marse
    I want you to wait for now.
[13:21] Saphir
    However, he never did that.
[13:25] (Flashback) Marse
    I promise I'll come for you one day!
[13:27] (Flashback) Saphira
    Marse-sama,
[13:30] (Flashback) Saphira
    I believe in you.
[13:33] Saphir
    Still, the Empire wasn't just going to
    ignore his dereliction of duty.
[13:38] Saphir
    Marse was summoned back to the Empire,
[13:40] Saphir
    and then several months later...
[13:44] Marse
    I'm going to become the Ring King,
    by order of the Emperor.
[13:48] Marse
    With this, I'll finally be able
    to come for you.
[13:54] Saphir
    Even if our duty to the Ring King
    is a warped reason for marriage,
[13:57] Saphir
    it would still allow her
    to marry the one she loved.
[14:01] Saphir
    We were both born to be Ring Princesses,
[14:04] Saphir
    so that was a stroke of fortune we
    were never even allowed to dream of.
[14:10] Saphir
    However...
[14:12] Saphir
    Prince Marse abandoned the role of Ring King!
[14:17] Saphir
    He entrusted the rings to some unknown
    man who appeared from another world.
[14:23] Saphir
    That man...
[14:25] Saphir
    abandoned his vow to Saphira!
[14:29] Marse
    Princess Saphira!
[14:31] Marse
    Please listen to me just once more!
[14:33] Marse
    My feelings haven't changed since that day!
[14:36] Marse
    My heart is still with you, where I left it!
[14:40] Saphira
    Then why?!
[14:42] Saphira
    Why didn't you become the Ring King?!
[14:49] Marse
    Because...
[14:50] Marse
    I felt...
[14:53] Marse
    that I wasn't worthy to.
[14:57] Saphira
    I have no idea what's going on
    in your mind anymore.
[15:10] Saphir
    Shortly after that...
[15:12] Saphir
    that Oracle appeared.
[15:16] Saphir
    At first, nobody believed her.
[15:19] Saphir
    Not until her predictions
    actually started coming true.
[15:24] Saphir
    That Oracle's predictions
    proved useful in driving off monsters.
[15:29] Saphir
    So my father, the king,
    placed her at his side...
[15:33] Saphir
    and you saw the state he's in now.
[15:36] Satou
    Do you think that Oracle
    was sent by the Empire?
[15:40] Saphir
    There has to be some connection there.
[15:42] Saphir
    That's what I believe,
[15:44] Saphir
    and it's why I want to catch
    that vixen by her tail.
[15:50] Oracle
    Damn Saphir!
[15:52] Oracle
    She really got me this time.
[15:55] Oracle
    Go assassinate the Ring King
    and take the rings!
[15:58] Oracle
    This is all for our great ruler!
[16:01] Assassin
    Yes!
[16:09] Satou
    H-Hmm?
[16:13] Assassin
    I'm so jealous.
[16:15] Assassin
    Has he no shame?
[16:17] Assassin
    No, wait...
[16:18] Assassin
    Isn't one of them missing? That cat person?
[16:23] Granart
    You actually came to attack him in his sleep.
[16:26] Granart
    That Water Princess is quite sharp.
[16:30] Granart
    No horns?
[16:31] Granart
    Plain humans, then?
[16:43] Granart
    Does this mean they really
    are servants of the Empire?
[16:47] Satou
    Assassins?!
[16:49] Granart
    Yeah.
[16:50] Satou
    Huh... So those really do exist.
[17:08] Satou
    By the way, where are we heading?
[17:11] Saphir
    The sunbathing area.
[17:17] Alabaster
    The dragonfolk struggle with heat regulation,
[17:20] Alabaster
    and when their body temperature gets too low,
    it causes their movements to grow sluggish.
[17:25] Satou
    I see...
[17:26] Satou
    So that's why they go sunbathing after
    waking to warm themselves up.
[17:31] Granart
    And if they get too hot,
[17:33] Granart
    they just cool off with water.
[17:36] Satou
    You aren't going to go play with the others?
[17:39] Granart
    I'm fine.
[17:41] Granart
    More importantly...
[17:43] Granart
    I know I said you weren't
    reliable as a warrior,
[17:46] Granart
    but your body...
[17:48] Granart
    certainly makes me want to
    make babies with you, Satou.
[17:51] Granart
    How about sometime tonight?
[17:54] Satou
    Wait, hey! There's an order!
[17:57] Granart
    That's just what Princess Krystal says, right?
[18:00] Hime
    Hey! What are you doing over there?!
[18:02] Hime
    I'm first in line, okay?!
[18:04] Granart
    Your love is weak if all you do is wait!
[18:07] Granart
    My love for Satou is strong!
[18:14] Nefritis
    I don't care which turn I get, you know.
[18:16] Granart
    Meow?!
[18:17] Hime
    Hey!
[18:19] Saphir
    You're all fools through and through!
[18:24] Satou
    S-Saphir, what kind of swimsuit is that?!
SIGN    Stretch
SIGN    Strain
[18:28] Saphir
    This is my garden.
[18:30] Saphir
    I usually enjoy it in the nude,
    but I wore this for your sake.
[18:34] Saphir
    Setting that aside, you girls...
[18:36] Saphir
    If you're so concerned with order,
[18:39] Saphir
    then why not decide it with a contest?
[18:41] Saphir
    For example,
[18:42] Saphir
    how about whoever swims over
    to that the fastest wins?
[18:46] Granart
    What?!
[18:47] Hime
    There!
[18:48] Granart
    Meow!
[18:50] Hime
    Do you hate water?
[18:55] Hime
    Take that! And that, and that!
[18:55] Saphir
    You really are all fools.
[18:57] Granart
    Stop it!
[18:58] Nef
    Umm... Me, too.
[18:58] Granart
    I hate getting water in them!
[19:00] Granart
    Jeez!
[19:02] Saphir
    By the way, Satou,
[19:04] Saphir
    that Oracle won't have given up yet.
[19:07] Saphir
    Remember to stay wary
[19:09] Saphir
    while pretending to let
    your guard down like this.
[19:12] Satou
    We were pretending?
[19:15] Saphir
    Don't miss our chance to catch her tail.
[19:28] Satou
    Marse-san.
[19:30] Satou
    Sounds like it's been rough.
[19:33] Marse
    Same to you.
[19:36] Marse
    It's half my fault that Maasa
    has ended up in this state.
[19:41] Marse
    I do feel sorry about that.
[19:45] Satou
    Marse-san, why did you let me
    claim the role of Ring King?
[19:50] Satou
    If you hadn't...
[19:52] Satou
    you would have married Saphira-san.
[19:56] Marse
    It was too great a burden for me.
[19:59] Marse
    That's how I felt.
[20:01] Satou
    Is that really all there was to it?
[20:04] Satou
    If you had something
    that important riding on it,
[20:06] Satou
    then you could've taken it from me, right?!
[20:10] Marse
    I saw her face.
[20:13] Marse
    I saw Saphira in Princess Krystal's face.
[20:17] Marse
    It was the same expression, one of a woman
    being reunited with the man she truly loved.
[20:23] Marse
    Knowing how she felt,
[20:25] Marse
    I couldn't get in her way, you know?
[20:29] Marse
    Disregarding someone's feelings
     to push my own agenda...
[20:32] Marse
    I was too weak to do that.
[20:35] Marse
    It's why my father calls me a failure.
[20:39] Marse
    But you were able to throw away
    everything for Princess Krystal.
[20:43] Marse
    The Ring King truly should be a man like you.
[20:52] Marse
    Brother!
[20:54] Marse
    Won't you please reconsider?!
[20:57] Marse
    I thought you promised not to
    meddle with Maasa in the first place?
[21:00] Sluder
    It was the Emperor's decision to
    send reinforcements to the Land of Water.
[21:04] Sluder
    You still haven't been forgiven
    for the crime of disobeying your order
[21:06] Sluder
    to become the Ring King.
[21:08] Sluder
    But you have managed
    to gain the Ring King's trust,
[21:11] Sluder
    and you're doing good work
    reporting his actions to us,
[21:14] Sluder
    which our father views as some small penance.
[21:19] Sluder
    Continue living up to our
    father's expectations, Marse.
[21:22] Sluder
    You have no home
    other than the Gisaras Empire.
[21:40] Marse
    What do you want?
[21:42] Oracle
    Steal the rings, Prince Marse.
[21:46] Marse
    What?
[21:48] Oracle
    This is the will of His Imperial Majesty.
[21:51] Oracle
    He's allowed you to gain
    the trust of the Ring King
[21:54] Oracle
    because he was waiting for this moment.
[21:57] Oracle
    Three days from now, an army
    of monsters will attack Maasa.
[22:01] Oracle
    Use the cover of that battle
[22:03] Oracle
    to kill the Ring King.

[00:02] Oracle
    You will correct your mistake, Prince Marse.
[00:08] Oracle
    Then you'll earn the Emperor's forgiveness
[00:10] Oracle
    and be able to obtain the princess you love.
[00:13] Marse
    Who are you?
[00:15] Marse
    Are you an imperial spy after all?
[00:19] Oracle
    I am but a mere oracle.
[00:23] Oracle
    Even seeing your future
    is just a result of my divination.
[00:27] Oracle
    However...
[00:29] Oracle
    my predictions often come true.
[00:32] Oracle
    Just like that monster attack.
[00:36] Oracle
    That Ring King is a foreign element
    from outside our world.
[00:40] Oracle
    He isn't fit for this world.
[00:44] Oracle
    You are the one who originally
    had the qualities to be Ring King.
[00:48] Oracle
    There's nothing to trouble yourself over.
[00:52] Oracle
    Unless...
[00:53] Oracle
    you would betray the wishes
    of the Emperor once again?
[01:02] Oracle
    This is a sword that twists
    and distorts the flow of magic.
[01:05] Oracle
    It is an ancient magic item
    heralded within legends.
[01:10] Oracle
    I present this sword to you.
[01:12] Oracle
    While you have no power of your own,
[01:15] Oracle
    with this, the Ring King
    will not get the better of you.
[01:19] Marse
    How do you possess such a thing?
[01:31] Oracle
    I'll be eagerly awaiting
    your return to the Empire
[01:35] Oracle
    with the rings in tow.
[03:22] Marse
    What should I...?
[03:26] (Flashback) Emperor
    I can't believe you couldn't even
    claim one remote nation
[03:29] (Flashback) Emperor
    after I practically
    handed it to you on a platter.
[03:32] (Flashback) Emperor
    Are you aware of what my ministers call you?
[03:36] (Flashback) Emperor
    "The failure."
[03:39] (Flashback) Emperor
    Soon we'll be selecting
    a candidate for Ring King.
[03:43] (Flashback) Emperor
    It's nothing more than musty old tale,
[03:46] (Flashback) Emperor
    but it is a great tool for winning
    the hearts of the populace.
[03:50] (Flashback) Emperor
    Even you couldn't possibly
    screw up something so simple.
[03:54] (Flashback) Emperor
    Your value lies in the fact
    that you're my child.
[03:57] (Flashback) Emperor
    And that is your only value.
[04:00] (Flashback) Emperor
    So go prove your worth, Marmarugias.
[04:30] Marse
    I really have lost everything, haven't I?
[04:38] Marse
    What am I supposed to do?
[04:52] Marse
    That's right.
[04:54] Marse
    This is the only path left to me.
[05:04] Sluder
    We're now setting off on our
    campaign to dispatch the monsters.
[05:08] Satou
    Are you really sure you don't want me to come?
[05:11] Sluder
    This is not your role.
[05:14] Sluder
    Great power wielded by one man will
    disrupt the coordination of the whole.
[05:18] Sluder
    People like you...
[05:20] Sluder
    exist for when the worst comes to pass.
[05:34] Sluder
    Take care of things here.
[05:36] Satou
    S-Sure?
[05:40] Hime
    Satou!
[05:43] Hime
    Um, so, well, uh...
[05:48] Satou
    What is it?
[05:50] Hime
    Jeez!
[05:56] Hime
    Just in case you suddenly
    find yourself needing to fight.
[06:01] Satou
    Th-Thank you.
[06:04] Hime
    Don't blush over it. That's embarrassing.
[06:06] Satou
    Well... I still haven't gotten used to it yet.
[06:09] Granart
    Allow me to grant you some power, as well!
[06:12] Hime
    Huh?!
[06:13] Hime
    Hey! Granart!
[06:16] Granart
    What? I'm Satou's wife, too.
[06:20] Granart
    Is there something wrong with this?
[06:22] Hime
    There's not! There's not, but still!
[06:25] Nef
    Um, then I should, too!
[06:27] Hime
    You, too, Nefritis?!
[06:29] Nefritis
    Am I not allowed?
[06:31] Hime
    No, you are... allowed, but...
[06:34] Nef
    Then...
[06:36] Hime
    Ahh! Nefritis is being so proactive!
[06:41] Hime
    Then I'll be the only one to give him one more!
[06:44] Nef
    Krystal-sama, that's not fair!
[06:48] Saphir
    What is this display?
    I'm too stunned for words.
[06:52] Alabaster
    Their bonds with the Ring King are his power.
[06:55] Alabaster
    It's a good thing that they want
    to grant him their power.
[07:01] Saphir
    Is it?
[07:20] Soldier
    Reporting!
[07:21] Soldier
    Our right and left flanks are
    pushing the battle lines forward!
[07:24] Sluder
    Good.
[07:26] Soldier
    The horde of monsters is behaving oddly
    in line with the oracle's predictions,
[07:30] Soldier
    but if this pace holds,
    then we've won this battle.
[07:33] SoldierB
    Sluder-sama!
[07:35] SoldierB
    One giant monster has appeared
    outside the expected battle area!
[07:38] SoldierB
    If nothing is done, it'll slip
    past toward the Maasa Palace!
[07:42] SoldierB
    We should split off a squad and
    send it to the palace at once!
[07:45] Sluder
    No, we'll hold this line to the last man.
[07:48] Sluder
    The palace will be fine.
[07:53] Satou
    What?!
[07:55] Alabaster
    Hurry! Inside the palace!
[08:01] Satou
    A monster?!
[08:05] Alabaster
    Looks like just the one from what I can see.
[08:16] Alabaster
    Satou-kun!
[08:23] Satou
    Marse-san?!
[08:25] Marse
    Ring King!
[08:26] Marse
    I'm sorry, but you die here!
[08:32] Alabaster
    Oh, no!
[08:33] Alabaster
    Leave the monster to me!
[08:37] Alabaster
    Satou-kun, you deal with Marse!
[08:42] Satou
    Marse-san, why?!
[08:45] Marse
    I'll kill the Ring King and hand
    the rings over to the Empire.
[08:49] Marse
    That is my duty as an imperial prince.
[08:54] Marse
    That is the only...
[08:55] Marse
    path left for me now!
[08:58] Satou
    Hold on!
[09:00] Satou
    You've got your reasons, right?!
[09:02] Satou
    Tell me what's going on!
[09:04] Marse
    You said it yourself, right?
[09:06] Marse
    If I have something important riding on it,
[09:07] Marse
    then I should just take them from you!
[09:11] Marse
    I guided you all and earned your trust...
[09:15] Marse
    all for this moment.
[09:18] Marse
    I'll defeat you for the Empire!
[09:21] Alabaster
    Satou-kun!
[09:23] Alabaster
    Marse isn't in his right mind!
[09:26] Alabaster
    He's probably being controlled somehow!
[09:28] Satou
    Then what should I do about it?!
[09:30] Satou
    Will throwing holy water
    or something on him fix him?!
[09:32] Alabaster
    I don't know!
[09:33] Alabaster
    I don't know,
[09:34] Alabaster
    but focus on stopping his movements for now!
[09:36] Satou
    You're always useless
    when it really counts, old man!
[09:43] Satou
    My skill with the sword
    isn't enough to beat Marse-san!
[09:47] Satou
    So...
[09:51] Satou
    Huh?!
[09:53] Satou
    What's the meaning of this?!
[09:55] Ring
    Interesting.
[09:57] Ring
    The sword that distorts magic, huh?
[10:00] Ring
    That's a nostalgic weapon he possesses.
[10:03] Ring
    I'm surprised he would bring
    a failure like that into battle...
[10:06] Ring
    Though, I suppose it's fitting
    for a young failure like him.
[10:11] Satou
    I knew it.
[10:12] Satou
    The rings are talking to me.
[10:15] Ring
    There's no need to hesitate.
[10:16] Ring
    You can overwhelm him with the Ring's magic.
[10:19] Ring
    Wipe him out and leave no trace behind.
[10:21] Satou
    Huh?! Like I could do that!
[10:24] Ring
    Are you okay with him killing you?
[10:27] Satou
    Shut up! Be quiet!
[10:28] Satou
    I can't do what I can't do!
[10:30] Ring
    Why do you hesitate to eliminate
    the obstacle before you with your power?
[10:34] Ring
    Foolish.
[10:36] Satou
    That said, what am I supposed to do here?
[10:39] Satou
    If I go all-out, it might end up
    like the rings suggested.
[10:43] Satou
    He's not the kind of
    opponent I can hold back against.
[10:48] Satou
    That's right.
[10:49] Satou
    I'm no match for him.
[10:52] Satou
    So why...
[10:53] Satou
    am I still uninjured at this point?
[11:02] Satou
    I knew it.
[11:03] Satou
    Marse-san is still himself.
[11:07] Hime
    Satou and Marse-san are fighting?!
[11:09] Hime
    Why?
[11:10] Saphir
    I don't know why,
[11:12] Saphir
    but I heard Marse is trying to steal the rings.
[11:28] Saphir
    You fool!
[11:29] Saphir
    Are you trying to die?!
[11:34] Satou
    I knew it.
[11:36] Satou
    You're hesitating, aren't you?
[11:38] Satou
    Hesitating to cut me down.
[11:42] Satou
    You really are a kind person, Marse-san.
[11:57] Marse
    Cut me down, Satou-kun.
[12:02] Marse
    The woman I love has forsaken me,
[12:04] Marse
    and I'm a failure who can't even
    fulfill my duty as an imperial prince.
[12:09] Marse
    To make it worse,
[12:11] Marse
    I've even wounded you.
[12:14] Marse
    At this point, I'm worthless.
[12:18] Satou
    I really like you, Marse-san.
[12:22] Satou
    Honestly, if it wasn't for you,
[12:26] Satou
    I would've been a goner
    soon after arriving here.
[12:28] Satou
    I've been able to make it this far
    because your kindness has saved me.
[12:33] Marse
    Huh?
[12:34] Satou
    If you want to say you're worthless,
[12:37] Satou
    then I'll become your worth.
[12:40] Satou
    What could possibly be more
    worthwhile than saving the world
[12:44] Satou
    as part of the legendary Ring King's party?
[12:48] Satou
    I need you, Marse-san.
[12:51] Marse
    You... need me?
[12:55] Ring
    Strike the gem on the pommel!
[13:04] Oracle
    Tsk!
[13:05] Oracle
    Every single one of them! Useless!
[13:10] Alabaster
    My magic won't hold out!
[13:12] Satou
    Huh?!
[13:18] Satou
    Oh, no!
[13:19] Satou
    Hime!
[13:31] Saphir
    Saphira!
[13:40] Satou
    Is it using her as a hostage?!
[13:43] Oracle
    What a waste of the present
    I gave you, Prince Marse.
[13:49] Alabaster
    I knew you had something
    to do with the monsters!
[13:52] Alabaster
    I'm guessing you're also the one
    who placed a curse on that sword?
[13:56] Oracle
    I predicted his future,
    but I barely did anything.
[14:00] Oracle
    It simply loosened the shackles on his heart,
[14:02] Oracle
    and strengthened his own desires just a tad.
[14:05] Oracle
    You understand that quite well,
    don't you, Prince Marse?
[14:10] Oracle
    Try anything funny and Princess Saphira dies.
[14:14] Oracle
    So?
[14:16] Oracle
    Care to trade the rings for her?
[14:20] Marse
    You're right.
[14:22] Marse
    Part of me did resent Satou-kun
    and try to take his life.
[14:27] Marse
    But I'm more than just that.
[14:31] Marse
    Satou-kun put his own life
    on the line to teach me that.
[14:34] Satou
    Marse-san.
[14:36] Marse
    I won't waver again.
[14:40] Marse
    I've decided to live my life for myself
    and those precious to me.
[14:45] Marse
    I'll choose my own path to follow.
[14:48] Marse
    That's where my worth lies.
[14:51] Marse
    Princess Saphira!
[14:54] Marse
    Please marry me!
[14:57] Saphira
    Huh?
[15:01] Oracle
    Huh?
[15:02] Oracle
    What foolishness are you spouting?!
[15:06] Satou
    Take that!
[15:14] Saphira
    It's not fair, asking me
    at a time like this, Marse-sama.
[15:18] Marse
    I'm sorry.
[15:20] Marse
    I've kept you waiting.
[15:22] Oracle
    Why, you! Why, you!
[15:35] AbyssKnight
    I was planning to toy with you
    until my King fully awakened,
[15:39] AbyssKnight
    but I'm done following the rules of your world!
[15:44] AbyssKnight
    Return to the Abyss!
[15:47] Satou
    What the hell?!
[15:49] Alabaster
    Now you've shown your true form!
[15:53] Saphir
    Good grief.
[15:55] Saphir
    You truly are a fool.
[15:58] Saphir
    You're too kindhearted.
[16:00] Saphir
    But that's the good kind of fool.
[16:16] Satou
    Wha?!
[16:22] Saphir
    Behold the power of the ring that
    controls water, the source of all life,
[16:28] Saphir
    and the true power of the dragonfolk.
[16:39] Satou
    She ate it?!
[16:52] Satou
    Oh!
[16:53] Alabaster
    She fled?!
[16:57] Satou
    That's incredible...
[16:59] Satou
    Can you... turn back?
[17:08] Saphir
    Of course.
[17:12] Hime
    Don't look!
[17:13] Satou
    Huh? Huh?
[17:17] Marse
    Satou-kun.
[17:19] Marse
    I'm sorry,
[17:21] Marse
    but could we continue
    where we left off earlier?
[17:32] King
    You all have saved our country, Maasa!
[17:37] Satou
    Who's that?
[17:38] Saphir
    My father.
[17:39] Satou
    Huh?!
[17:41] King
    The Abyss King's knight had clouded
    my mind, but I saw everything.
[17:47] King
    Ring King, your power
    is just as the legends claim.
[17:52] King
    As a ring nation, Maasa shall
    lend you all the power we can.
[17:56] Satou
    Th-Thank you so much!
[17:59] King
    And you two, princes of the Empire...
[18:01] King
    Thank you for protecting Maasa.
[18:04] King
    However, henceforth, the Land of Water
    shall protect itself with its own strength.
[18:09] King
    I was too focused on needing
    to protect Maasa by ourselves
[18:13] King
    and I fell into a villain's clutches.
[18:16] King
    However, I now understand
    that the Empire is a powerful ally.
[18:21] King
    I will not allow that to happen again.
[18:25] Sluder
    I'm glad to hear it.
[18:26] Sluder
    We'll race to your aid should
    you ever need our strength again.
[18:31] Sluder
    Please call upon us when you desire it.
[18:33] King
    Indeed.
[18:38] King
    I've caused you much trouble, Saphir.
[18:45] Satou
    So even she has a pretty demure side to her.
[18:49] King
    I see you've also found
    yourself a good husband.
[18:53] Saphir
    Huh?
[18:55] Saphir
    This thing is just a fool with magic power.
[18:59] Saphir
    I think your eyes are still clouded, Father.
[19:02] King
    I-I see?
[19:04] Satou
    What?
[19:07] Marse
    King of Water,
[19:08] Marse
    as the Ring King's knight, Marmarugias,
    I would ask for your boon.
[19:14] Marse
    Allow me to wed Princess Saphira!
[19:17] King
    Prince Marse...
[19:19] King
    No, it's Knight Marse now, isn't it?
[19:22] King
    I didn't realize how Saphira felt until after
    you had left and Saphir chastised me.
[19:29] King
    I was so concerned with our nation
    that I allowed my daughter to suffer.
[19:34] King
    I've failed her as a father.
[19:38] King
    Please take care of my daughter.
[19:43] Marse
    Yes!
[19:45] Marse
    Princess Saphira.
[19:47] Saphira
    Marse-sama.
[19:48] Alabaster
    Woot, woot!
[19:54] Hime
    That's so nice.
[19:59] Hime
    I wish it could have been like that for me, too.
[20:07] Marse
    Satou-kun!
[20:10] Marse
    You're next.
[20:12] Satou
    What does he mean, I'm next?
[20:15] Satou
    We're the ones who got married first.
[20:18] Hime
    Ah!
[20:20] Satou
    No way!
[20:21] Satou
    Have they done it?!
[20:27] Marse
    Brother!
[20:29] Sluder
    Between that oracle, the monsters,
    and their ties to the Empire...
[20:35] Sluder
    something is happening behind my back.
[20:39] Sluder
    I must return to the imperial capital at once.
[20:43] Sluder
    Make sure you come home one day, too.
[20:47] Sluder
    I'll be waiting for you.
[20:50] Marse
    Yes!
[20:57] Emperor
    It seems you failed to seize Maasa.
[21:00] AbyssKnight
    Yes.
[21:02] AbyssKnight
    It was under the Empire's dominion for a time,
[21:06] AbyssKnight
    but that wench...
[21:08] AbyssKnight
    Still, I thought a nation like that was beneath
    your attention, Your Imperial Majesty?
[21:14] AbyssKnight
    If we combine your power
    and my power to control monsters,
[21:20] AbyssKnight
    then surely we can obtain many more nations.
[21:23] AbyssKnight
    Yes...
[21:25] AbyssKnight
    You can make that possible.
[21:28] AbyssKnight
    Now, show me your desire.
[21:38] Emperor
    First you target the King of Maasa, then me?
[21:42] Emperor
    I only listened to you
    because our interests aligned,
[21:46] Emperor
    but it seems the old way is truly worthless.
[21:49] AbyssKnight
    Why, you! You knew everything?!
[21:52] Emperor
    This is no longer the world of gods!
    It's the world of man!
[21:56] Emperor
    I'll simply exterminate any who interfere.
[22:00] Emperor
    Be that the Abyss King,
[22:06] Emperor
    or even the Ring King!

[00:03] Granart
    I think that since I've been
    his bride for fewer days,
[00:07] Granart
    it's only natural I sleep beside him
    to deepen our bond.
[00:11] Saphir
    But by that logic I would be
    the one sleeping closest to him?
[00:15] Hime
    I'm the one who has the deepest bond with him,
[00:18] Hime
    so don't you think I should be
    the first to sleep beside him?
[00:21] Nef
    I'm happy with being between you two!
[00:24] Hime
    Huh?!
[00:27] Saphir
    I'm sleeping in my own room after all.
[00:30] Saphir
    This is stupid.
[00:31] Nef
    No, you don't! Having more people is better!
[00:34] (Flashback) Alabaster
    Distance is an obstacle
    to the transference of magic power.
[00:38] (Flashback) Alabaster
    You should at least be nearby.
[00:41] Satou
    Umm... I just reopened my wound a little.
[00:45] Satou
    It's not that serious.
[00:47] Hime
    You be quiet, Satou!
[00:49] Satou
    Uh, sure.
[00:50] Hime
    Besides, it's weird for all of us
    to sleep together in the first place!
[00:54] Hime
    Think about how Satou feels...
[00:57] Granart
    Hey, who's the one who just
    silenced that very same Satou, hm?
[01:01] Hime
    Oh, shut up!
[01:03] Nef
    C-Calm down!
[01:05] Satou
    My instincts as a man are screaming
    with joy at this situation!
[01:09] Satou
    But I can't let myself just accept this.
[01:14] Satou
    Everyone, listen to me.
[01:18] Satou
    No matter what may happen,
[01:20] Satou
    Hime will always be number one to me!
[01:23] Hime
    Satou!
[01:26] Nef
    I already know that.
[01:28] Nef
    I'm fine being whatever
    number you want me to be.
[01:31] Nef
    I'll wait as long as it takes.
[01:33] Granart
    I'm fine with it as long as
     you love me in the moment.
[01:36] Granart
    I've never been a stickler for labels anyway.
[01:39] Saphir
    I don't care as long as you fulfill your duty.
[01:44] Saphir
    And I'll do anything to help you do so.
[01:48] Satou
    What do I do?
[01:50] Satou
    Speaking up did nothing at all!
[01:53] Granart
    Satou, you've never felt any pity toward us
    and the misfortunes we suffer
[01:59] Granart
    at the whims of our duty.
[02:02] Granart
    So, in return,
[02:04] Granart
    just be good and go with the flow!
[02:07] Satou
    Uwah?!
[02:08] Hime
    Hey! Granart!
[02:12] Granart
    Ring King... my body and soul belong to you.
[02:16] Satou
    Huh? Why? She's suddenly naked, too!
[02:19] Nef
    Satou-sama... please teach me...
    all kinds of things.
[02:25] Satou
    Nefritis, too?! What's going on?!
[02:29] Saphir
    This isn't so bad, now is it?
[02:32] Satou
    It's not bad... but that's not the issue!
[02:37] Satou
    Hmm?
[02:39] Ghost
    What's the matter?
[02:41] Ghost
    Why do you hesitate, Ring King Satou?
[02:45] Satou
    Who are you?!
[02:46] Ghost
    You have the power.
[02:48] Ghost
    Do as you wish.
[02:50] Ghost
    You could easily just seize it all.
[02:52] Satou
    No, I hear what you're saying,
    but it's not that easy.
[02:56] Satou
    For one thing, I can't do
    everyone at the same time.
[02:58] Satou
    Besides, I already have...
[03:01] Hime
    Hmm... It's not easy, huh?
[03:05] Hime
    Satou, you're the worst.
[03:07] Satou
    Hime?!
[03:08] Satou
    No, it's not what you think! Hime! This is—
[03:12] Satou
    Hime! You're my number one!
[03:18] Satou
    A dream?
[03:21] Satou
    This is bad...
[03:36] Satou
    Hime!
[03:37] Satou
    Let's go out together today!
[03:39] Hime
    Huh?
[03:42] Hime
    Huh?!
[05:15] Satou
    Uh, hey!
[05:17] Satou
    We've been stuck in the palace ever since
    we arrived in the Land of Water, right?
[05:20] Satou
    I've been wanting to look around
    and see all the sights.
[05:23] Nef
    My, that's so lovely.
[05:25] Nef
    It sounds fun.
[05:26] Satou
    Uhh, sorry.
[05:28] Satou
    I want to go with just Hime.
[05:31] Nef
    Huh?!
[05:31] Nef
    I...
[05:33] Nef
    You're leaving me behind?
[05:36] Saphir
    What's with all this early morning commotion?
[05:42] Saphir
    You need to rest for a while until you
    recover your power as the Ring King.
[05:47] Saphir
    So long as you keep it tame,
[05:48] Saphir
    you're free to go have fun wherever you want.
[05:53] Granart
    All right, got it!
[05:54] Granart
    Leave this to me.
[05:56] Granart
    Well, you two go enjoy yourselves!
[05:59] Granart
    Right, Nefritis?
[06:01] Nef
    Y-Yes?
[06:03] Nef
    You're okay with this?
[06:04] Granart
    Leave it to me.
[06:06] Satou
    Thank you.
[06:08] Satou
    I thought Granart would be the most
    strongly opposed, though.
[06:12] Satou
    Well, I guess it works out.
[06:17] Hime
    I'm so excited!
[06:23] Hime
    Saphir's body soap has a nice scent.
[06:26] Hime
    I'll use more of it.
[06:29] Satou
    Hime, you smell really nice.
[06:34] Satou
    I can't hold back anymore.
[06:36] Hime
    Squee! As if!
[06:48] Alabaster
    What?!
[06:50] Alabaster
    You want money?!
[06:52] Satou
    I want to go out with Hime,
[06:55] Satou
    but I don't have any of this world's money.
[06:58] Alabaster
    Hmm.
[06:59] Alabaster
    I see, I see.
[07:01] Alabaster
    So, how far are you planning to go?
[07:04] Satou
    We'll have a look around the area.
[07:06] Alabaster
    I was talking about
    your relationship with Krystal.
[07:10] Satou
    Please don't ask that out of the blue.
[07:13] Alabaster
    Rest assured.
[07:15] Alabaster
    I gave you a little bit extra.
[07:18] Alabaster
    To pay for a room.
[07:20] Alabaster
    You don't need to come back tonight.
[07:23] Satou
    Again, I'm not planning to do that!
[07:26] Hime
    Sorry for the wait, Satou.
[07:28] Alabaster
    This world is different from yours and Japan.
[07:33] Alabaster
    Stop worrying about appearances
    and get to work, young man.
[07:43] Hime
    Have you decided on where to go yet?
[07:45] Satou
    Saphir told me about all kinds of
    sightseeing spots, so I'm all set!
[07:52] Nef
    Are you sure about us following them like this?
[07:56] Granart
    We're his wives, too.
[07:59] Granart
    We have a right to experience anything
    he does with Krystal equally.
[08:03] Nef
    That makes sense.
[08:04] Granart
    So we must watch over how things
    develop between them.
[08:08] Granart
    And if they're bumping uglies,
    we use that as blackmail material!
[08:11] Nef
    That makes sense.
[08:12] Saphir
    I was wondering what you
    dragged me out here for.
[08:16] Saphir
    Now I see. Good luck with that.
[08:18] Granart
    All right! After them!
[08:22] Hime
    Wow!
[08:24] Stall
    Oh, are you the Ring King
    everyone's talking about?
[08:28] Stall
    Welcome.
[08:29] Satou
    Oh, yes.
[08:30] Stall
    I can't believe you won
    over our tomboy, Saphir-sama.
[08:33] Stall
    That woman is wise,
    but she's not very endearing, is she?
[08:39] Saphir
    How rude. I'll remember this.
[08:43] Mother
    You look much more normal than I expected.
[08:45] Mother
    I thought you'd be more beefy!
[08:47] Child
    Can I have your autograph?
[08:50] Satou
    Sorry, this is private time for me.
[08:53] Hime
    This doesn't feel like much of a date.
[08:57] Hime
    But I guess it's fine as long as
    Satou's enjoying himself.
[09:01] Hime
    Today, Satou isn't acting like
    the Ring King or anything like that.
[09:05] Hime
    He's the normal boy I know.
[09:09] Hime
    That makes me kind of happy.
[09:12] Hime
    How long has it been since Satou
    last invited me to go out?
[09:20] Satou
    What's this?
[09:22] Hime
    A real eel pie?
[09:26] Hime
    The summer festival...
    was something I invited him to.
[09:29] Hime
    At the time, I thought we would
    never see each other again.
[09:35] Hime
    Thank you for coming, Satou.
[09:42] Satou
    Wh-What?
[09:45] Hime
    There's some on your lips.
[09:48] Hime
    Oh, Satou!
[09:50] Saphir
    They have a pretty nice mood going.
[09:53] Nef
    I'm jealous.
[09:56] Nef
    And also a little sad.
[10:00] Granart
    You can't let yourself get like that.
[10:02] Granart
    I've heard that in his world, it was understood
    that one person would only love one other,
[10:07] Granart
    but that's nothing more than a belief.
[10:10] Granart
    The laws of the world may be inviolable,
[10:12] Granart
    but you can just change beliefs.
[10:15] Saphir
    Wow, you're pushy.
[10:17] Granart
    That's the kind of mindset
    one needs to have.
[10:24] Granart
    A park?
[10:26] Saphir
    Well, places like these
    are a staple for dates, right?
[10:29] Granart
    I've never been on one, so I wouldn't know.
[10:31] Nef
    I wouldn't know, either.
[10:40] Satou
    The fish pond is over there...
[10:42] Satou
    so where are we?
[10:43] Hime
    What is it?
[10:59] Saphir
    It's said that if two lovers
    exchange a kiss here at this pond,
[11:02] Saphir
    then they'll be united forever.
[11:06] Granart
    What?! Then us, too!
[11:08] Saphir
    That's just a rumor that started
    spreading well after I was born.
[11:12] Saphir
    It's stupid.
[11:21] Satou
    She looked my way?
[11:23] Satou
    Is she waiting for me to initiate it?
[11:29] Satou
    Okay.
[11:45] Satou
    I mean, doing it out in public
    like this is a bit...
[11:52] Hime
    R-Right?
[11:55] Satou
    Now that I think about it...
[11:56] Satou
    I don't think I've stared at Hime's
    face this close that often!
[12:02] Hime
    Hey, Satou?
[12:05] Hime
    Are you possibly...
[12:07] Hime
    embarrassed to initiate it?
[12:11] Satou
    I knew it.
[12:14] Satou
    To me, Hime is...
[12:18] Saphir
    I can't take this anymore.
[12:20] Saphir
    I'm going home.
[12:22] Nef
    True...
[12:23] Nef
    I'm starting to feel bad for those two.
[12:26] Granart
    Huh? How boring.
[12:28] Granart
    Though... I guess it won't happen.
[12:31] Granart
    We'll just have to hope things develop later.
[12:36] Saphir
    What is it, Nefritis?
[12:38] Nef
    It's my first time going out
    and hanging out with friends,
[12:43] Nef
    so I've had lots of fun.
[12:45] Saphri
    Friends, huh?
[12:48] Saphri
    Isn't there an awfully large age gap
    between us to be calling us friends?
[12:56] Saphri
    I-I'm sorry.
SIGN    Magic Ice Cream
[13:01] Satou
    Two ice creams.
[13:02] Stall
    Here you go.
[13:04] Stall
    Sightseeing, right?
[13:05] Stall
    Maybe a honeymoon?
[13:16] Stall
    Here, a little extra for the happy couple.
[13:21] Both
    Extra large?!
[13:33] Satou
    Listen,
[13:34] Satou
    I know this is the world you were born in,
[13:38] Satou
    so I've always thought I needed to protect it.
[13:43] Satou
    But you know, I saw this again today,
[13:46] Satou
    but the Ring Princesses
    and the people of their nations...
[13:49] Satou
    Even Marse-san and Saphira-san,
[13:51] Satou
    they're all just normal people trying to
    live normal lives, aren't they?
[13:56] Satou
    This world and my world
    aren't really different.
[14:00] Satou
    And I think that's a great thing.
[14:04] Satou
    Does this make me sound too much like a hero?
[14:08] Hime
    You do sound like one.
[14:10] Hime
    You've started looking like a hero, too.
[14:13] Hime
    Honestly, I never thought
    you would turn out like this, Satou.
[14:19] Satou
    Hmm?
[14:21] Hime
    It's getting dark.
[14:23] Hime
    Shall we head back after we eat?
[14:33] Hime
    I had fun today.
[14:35] Hime
    Thank you.
[14:36] Satou
    S-Sure?
[14:38] Hime
    Just to make sure,
[14:40] Hime
    this did count as a date, right?
[14:44] Satou
    That was my intention?
[14:48] Satou
    Oh, I guess it didn't measure up to one?
[14:50] Hime
    No, that's not it!
[14:52] Hime
    It's just, this is a first for us, right?
[14:55] Hime
    Why... invite me out now?
[15:00] Satou
    Our feelings are finally mutual,
[15:03] Satou
    but it feels like we haven't really done
    anything typical of couples.
[15:07] (Flashback) Hime
    That's so nice.
[15:11] (Flashback) Hime
    I wish it could've been like that for me, too.
[15:17] Satou
    Maybe it's weird for me to say this,
[15:19] Satou
    but I've always dreamed of
     doing stuff like this.
[15:24] Hime
    Y-You have?
[15:29] Hime
    But still...
[15:31] Hime
    You should make today the last time
    you do something like this.
[15:35] Satou
    Huh?
[15:37] Hime
    You can't stay dedicated to just me.
[15:41] Hime
    All the others are your wives, as well.
[15:47] Hime
    I'm so happy with the special
    treatment you give me.
[15:50] Hime
    But it's pretty draining in its own way.
[15:58] Hime
    You're doing a wonderful job
    fulfilling your duty as Ring King.
[16:02] Hime
    While I'm...
[16:04] Satou
    What are you saying?!
[16:06] Satou
    You're my number one, Hime!
[16:09] Satou
    No, I'm not talking about order.
[16:12] Satou
    You're the only one for me!
[16:18] Hime
    But it can't... be that way.
[16:25] Hime
    All of the Ring Princesses
    are fulfilling their duty,
[16:29] Hime
    and determined to be with you, Satou.
[16:33] Hime
    You can't neglect their feelings.
[16:38] Hime
    You have the proper qualifications.
    So you should show everyone more...
[16:45] Satou
    You really are the only one for me.
[16:48] Satou
    If you're telling me you don't get that...
[17:17] Satou
    I've done it now!
[17:19] Satou
    I just... did something
    incredibly embarrassing!
[17:22] Satou
    L-Let's go home!
[17:26] Hime
    No.
[17:27] Hime
    I don't want to go back.
[17:29] Satou
    Huh?
[17:32] Hime
    I'm the only one, right?
[17:36] Satou
    Hey, wait, does this mean...?
[17:39] Satou
    Have I gotten us into that mood?!
[17:43] (Flashback) Alabaster
    You don't need to come back tonight.
[17:47] Satou
    Is it okay to go along with this flow?
[17:48] Satou
    No, shouldn't I be letting myself
    go with it right now?!
[17:55] Woman
    Are you spending the night?
[17:57] Woman
    Or just stopping for a rest?
[18:00] Satou
    We can do this!
    We can have the best first time!
[18:04] Satou
    Prepare yourself, Satou!
[18:07] Hime
    Ahh, what have I done?!
[18:14] Hime
    Everyone's waiting for us.
[18:16] Hime
    Shall we go home?
[18:18] Satou
    Huh?
[18:19] Hime
    You'll just have to continue waiting.
[18:35] Saphir
    Huh?
[18:36] Saphir
    Why do I have to go along with you all, too?
[18:40] Alabaster
    You understand, don't you?
[18:42] Alabaster
    The Ring King can't fight without the magic
    power provided by the Ring Maidens.
[18:46] Saphir
    So having those three
    still isn't enough for him?
[18:49] Saphir
    Oh, how terrifying.
[18:51] Saphir
    What a bottomless pit of lust.
[18:55] Granart
    Are you afraid of leaving your homeland?
[18:58] Granart
    You're more cowardly than I expected.
[19:00] Granart
    Just look at Nefritis, the one
    known as the shut-in princess.
[19:04] Granart
    She's accompanying us like she should.
[19:07] Saphir
    Well, sure.
[19:08] Saphir
    Compared to her age, I'm practically a baby.
[19:13] Saphir
    I know!
[19:15] Saphir
    Why don't I have you take
    Saphira with you instead?
[19:17] Satou
    There wouldn't be any point in that.
[19:23] Saphir
    I'm kidding.
[19:28] Saphir
    I'm sorry things have turned out like this.
[19:32] Saphir
    I thought Marse would stay here with you.
[19:36] Saphira
    No, it's fine, Sister.
[19:39] Saphira
    Marse-sama has found his own duty now.
[19:43] Saphira
    Besides, that man's dedication is
    one of the things I love about him.
[19:50] Saphir
    Umm... will you be all right without me?
[19:55] Saphira
    Please don't fret.
[19:57] Saphira
    I'll protect Father and Maasa
    while you're gone, Sister.
[20:03] Saphira
    Sister, you be careful, too.
[20:07] Saphira
    Also... please use the ring's power
    to protect Marse-sama.
[20:13] Saphir
    Yeah. You can count on me.
[20:20] Satou
    Next is the Land of Earth, apparently.
[20:23] Satou
    What kind of place is that?
[20:25] Nefritis
    The Land of Earth, Idanokan,
    lies far north of Maasa.
[20:30] Nefritis
    The capital of the dwarves rests
    within a steep mountain range...
[20:34] Nefritis
    according to my books!
[20:36] Satou
    Dwarves?!
[20:38] Satou
    The kind that are stout and known for beards?
[20:41] Alabaster
    Who knows?
[20:42] Hime
    So, some three-head-tall princess?
[20:45] Alabaster
    Who knows?
[20:47] Satou
    Grandpa, you don't know?!
[20:50] Saphir
    The dwarves were already wiped out
    in the battle between
[20:54] Saphir
    the Ring King and the Abyss King.
[20:56] Saphir
    Ruins are all that remains of Idanokan.
[21:00] Saphir
    According to legends,
[21:02] Saphir
    they were a race of master craftsmen
    who disdained other races.
[21:06] Saphir
    Yet they followed the Ring King
    and fought bravely against the Abyss King.
[21:10] Saphir
    There were never many of them to begin with,
    and their numbers were greatly reduced.
[21:14] Saphir
    After the war, they isolated themselves
    away from others underground
[21:18] Saphir
    and eventually they died out.
[21:20] Satou
    You mean we don't even know if
    the Ring will be there, let alone a princess?!
[21:26] Alabaster
    Yes.
[21:27] Granart
    However, we're still heading there.
[21:30] Granart
    You must have some kind of lead,
    right, Great Sage?
[21:36] Alabaster
    None at all.
[21:37] Both
    None at all?!
[21:39] Alabaster
    Well, we'll just have to figure out
    what to do after we get there.
[21:42] Alabaster
    If there's truly nothing to be done,
    then we'll think about our next step.
[21:48] Marse
    It's coming into view.
[21:52] Alabaster
    That's the Great Mountain Wall, Kaogamika.
[21:55] Alabaster
    The Land of Earth, Idanokan,
    lies in its lofty heights.
[21:59] All
    Wow.
[22:01] Alabaster
    Now, we go the rest of the way on foot.
[22:03] Alabaster
    Let's get going.
[22:05] All
    Huh?!

[00:03] Satou
    Well, this certainly feels like an adventure!
[00:09] Satou
    Or so I thought at first,
[00:12] Satou
    but just how far away is it?!
[00:14] Satou
    We've been in these mountains
    for three days now!
[00:17] Alabaster
    Oh, we're almost there.
[00:19] Satou
    You mean it?
[00:21] Alabaster
    Don't let your guard down, though.
[00:23] Alabaster
    If you slip, you'll end up like that.
[00:26] Nef
    Wow! Such big bones!
[00:29] Nef
    Great Sage, what is that?
[00:31] Alabaster
    Well, that's likely a monster
    from the age of the Abyss King.
[00:36] Alabaster
    The Great Mountain Wall, Kaogamika,
    was a fierce battlefield, after all.
[00:40] Nef
    There were monsters this large? Amazing!
[00:44] Saphir
    How does this woman have so much energy?
[00:49] Alabaster
    Thank you for scouting.
[00:51] Alabaster
    How was it? What's the road ahead like?
[00:53] Granart
    No people or monsters.
[00:55] Satou
    Well, even if a monster did attack us,
[00:58] Satou
    we can just take them down
    with that dragon transformation.
[01:01] Saphir
    That's, well, frankly it's exhausting.
[01:05] Saphir
    The backlash from using such tremendous
    magic power always hits my legs the next day.
[01:10] Saphir
    You all understand, right?
[01:11] Hime
    I-It does?
[01:13] Nefritis
    Using magic sounds tough.
[01:17] Saphir
    Are you telling me these women...?
[01:20] Saphir
    Muscle-brain!
[01:21] Saphir
    Incompetent!
[01:22] Saphir
    Just a shut-in?!
[01:24] Saphir
    I think I want to go home now.
[01:27] Satou
    Now, now.
[01:29] Marse
    There's a place we can rest
    just a little further up.
[01:33] Alabaster
    I think we'll call it there for today.
[01:35] Alabaster
    Come on, keep it up, modern children!
[01:38] Alabaster
    We'll be able to rest soon!
[01:40] Hime
    Okay.
[01:51] Satou
    Hey, Grandpa, you're the Great Sage, right?
[01:55] Satou
    I was hoping you could tell me
[01:57] Satou
    if there really is any point
    to gathering the rings?
[02:01] Alabaster
    Where's this coming from?
[02:03] Satou
    The people of the Empire
[02:05] Satou
    are planning to fight the Abyss King without
    relying on the power of the rings, right?
[02:09] Satou
    I heard they were able to defeat
    most of the monsters attacking Maasa, too.
[02:15] Satou
    It just...
[02:17] Satou
    seems different from what I expected.
[02:20] Satou
    "The hero who will save the world."
[02:22] Satou
    "The legendary Ring King
    who will defeat the Abyss King."
[02:26] Satou
    That's what people call me,
[02:28] Satou
    but it doesn't feel like anyone
    is really expecting that from me.
[02:32] Alabaster
    Well, the world is vast...
[02:36] Alabaster
    Various people live their lives
    with their own various ideas.
[02:40] Alabaster
    Not everyone is going to cling
    to the same hope.
[02:45] Alabaster
    It's only natural that some
    would think that if it's possible
[02:48] Alabaster
    to defeat monsters with mankind's power,
[02:50] Alabaster
    then it should be possible
    to defeat the Abyss King, too.
[02:53] Satou
    I see.
[02:56] Satou
    There's a lot less faith in
    these rings than I thought there was.
[03:00] Alabaster
    However, I've learned many things
    during my long life of traveling.
[03:06] Alabaster
    I've also heard many terrifying legends about
    the Abyss King, fragmented though they were.
[03:12] Alabaster
    I've also seen the deep scars
    that still remain from the age of myth.
[03:17] Alabaster
    The power of the Abyss King is immeasurable.
[03:20] Alabaster
    We've already seen him controlling monsters
[03:22] Alabaster
    and his knights with terrifying power
    that we can't begin to comprehend
[03:26] Alabaster
    with our understanding of magic.
[03:28] Alabaster
    Yet even that power only amounts to
    the scant portion leaking out from his seal.
[03:34] Alabaster
    I find it very hard to imagine he can be
    dealt with using the power of mankind alone.
[03:38] Alabaster
    Every record in this world
    leads me to that same conclusion.
[03:49] Alabaster
    Well, if the Abyss King's resurrection
    goes according to legend,
[03:54] Alabaster
    then the resurrection of the
    Ring King is destined, as well.
[03:57] Alabaster
    You've already gathered
    four of the rings, Satou-kun,
[04:00] Alabaster
    so maybe the last one
    will surprise us and come to us.
[04:05] Satou
    Hmm...
[04:07] Alabaster
    Now, it's time for the shift change,
    so get some sleep already.
[04:10] Satou
    Yeah.
[04:18] Alabaster
    Some Great Sage I am.
[04:21] Alabaster
    I'm useless.
[06:00] Alabaster
    This is the Land of Earth, Idanokan.
[06:03] Alabaster
    The lost capital of the dwarves.
[06:09] Satou
    It's awfully devastated.
[06:12] Alabaster
    They drove off countless attacks
    from the Abyss King,
[06:18] Alabaster
    but their final battle is said
    to have been especially fierce.
[06:24] Nef
    And then the dwarves all vanished,
[06:27] Nef
    without rebuilding their ruined city.
[06:32] Hime
    Seems like there really is no one here.
[06:36] Hime
    It's too quiet, and I don't like it.
[06:39] Nef
    Really? I love it.
[06:43] Nef
    It's so wonderful that no one is here.
[06:45] Nef
    I want to live here.
[06:46] Hime
    Huh?
[06:47] Nef
    If only it were warmer.
[06:50] Saphir
    I'll wait here.
[06:53] Saphir
    You all can search for the Ring of Earth.
[06:56] Granart
    What, are you already
    worn out, Princess Saphir?
[07:00] Saphir
    I'm not a fan of wandering about aimlessly.
[07:03] Granart
    This city is right next to
    the domain of the Abyss.
[07:07] Granart
    You never know what may happen.
[07:09] Saphir
    Then you can just stay and guard me.
[07:12] Saphir
    It's quite an honor.
[07:14] Saphir
    Live up to it.
[07:15] Granart
    My goodness, you're hopeless.
[07:19] Granart
    I'll carry you, then.
[07:21] Granart
    Come on, climb on.
[07:23] Saphir
    Huh?
[07:25] Saphir
    I don't need that!
[07:26] Saphir
    I can walk on my own!
[07:28] Granart
    There's no need to refrain, you bashful girl.
[07:32] Saphir
    I'm not refraining from anything!
[07:34] Granart
    That so, that so?
[07:40] Marse
    What's the matter?
[07:43] Hime
    It felt like someone was there.
[07:47] Marse
    Maybe it's just the quiet of the ruins
    making you feel that way?
[07:52] Hime
    I guess...
[08:09] Satou
    This room... is still relatively nice.
[08:14] Granart
    That looks like a throne.
[08:17] Granart
    This was probably the palace.
[08:22] Satou
    This is...!
[08:24] Satou
    Grandpa!
[08:25] Satou
    Th-There's a corpse!
[08:26] Alabaster
    Calm down, Satou-kun.
[08:29] Alabaster
    That's not the remains of a dwarf.
[08:31] Alabaster
    It's a Sorcerer's Unit.
[08:33] Alabaster
    A relic mentioned in myths.
[08:35] Satou
    Sorcerer's Unit?
[08:37] Satou
    Some kind of robot?
[08:39] Alabaster
    Worry not.
[08:41] Alabaster
    It can't function without magic power.
[08:43] Alabaster
    It's just a puppet.
[08:45] Nef
    Dwarven civilization was centered
    around sorcerous machines,
[08:48] Nef
    devices that ran on magic power.
[08:52] Nef
    I've heard that they dug
    into the earth, refined metals,
[08:55] Nef
    and devoted everything
    to honing their mastery of smithing.
[09:00] Marse
    So these are the proof that they lived,
    the crystallization of their technology.
[09:05] Alabaster
    In the battles of myth, the dwarves
    used their sorcerous machines as weapons.
[09:12] Alabaster
    The sorcerous vehicles of Needakitta are
    some of their few relics still in operation.
[09:17] Granart
    I did hear that our ancestors received those
    from the earth people long, long ago.
[09:22] Granart
    I have no idea how those things work!
[09:26] Satou
    So, even though they left
    all kinds of things behind,
[09:29] Satou
    no one knows what happened
    to the dwarves themselves?
[09:32] Nef
    I suppose that just shows
    how chaotic that era was.
[09:38] Alabaster
    Looks like there aren't any clues about
     the ring, even after coming all this way.
[09:43] Alabaster
    I guess that only leaves the underground roads.
[09:46] Satou
    Underground?
[09:47] Satou
    We're going even further in?
[09:55] Unit
    Vanished...
[09:57] Unit
    We vanished...
[10:00] Unit
    All of the earth people...
[10:20] Satou
    Hey! Grandpa, what's going on here?!
[10:22] Alabaster
    There were still ones
    that could move left here?!
[10:25] Alabaster
    That's impossible!
[10:27] Alabaster
    No, wait—
[10:35] Alabaster
    A knight of the Abyss King?!
[10:37] Alabaster
    I can't believe he can control
    machines, as well!
[10:39] Satou
    I guess anything goes for him!
[10:42] AbyssKnight
    Why...
[10:44] AbyssKnight
    We fought together...
[10:47] AbyssKnight
    So why were we the only ones who disappeared?
[10:51] AbyssKnight
    Why were we the only ones...
[10:54] AbyssKnight
    who had to perish?!
[10:57] Satou
    What is it saying?
[10:59] AbyssKnight
    Wind, Fire, Water, Light...
[11:04] AbyssKnight
    Perish with us.
[11:06] AbyssKnight
    Join our lord...
[11:09] AbyssKnight
    Join us in the same place...
[11:11] AbyssKnight
    Be swallowed by the Abyss...
[11:16] Alabaster
    Oh, no!
[11:21] Alabaster
    It trapped Satou-kun behind that wall!
[11:30] Satou
    What?
[11:35] AbyssKing
    Do not interfere, outsider.
[11:40] AbyssKing
    You have no ties to this world.
[11:43] AbyssKing
    You should have no reason to fight.
[11:46] Satou
    No, I do.
[11:48] Satou
    You're right that I'm not a part of this world.
[11:51] Satou
    However,
[11:52] Satou
    there are people living
    peaceful lives in this world.
[11:56] Satou
    People who Hime loves.
[11:59] AbyssKing
    Is that worth risking your life over?
[12:03] Satou
    Yeah.
[12:04] Satou
    I want to protect Hime's world.
[12:08] Satou
    I have to protect it!
[12:17] Hime
    Satou!
[12:27] Satou
    Thank you, Hime!
[12:30] AbyssKing
    You fool...
[12:33] AbyssKing
    You're just being used by this world!
[12:55] Nef
    Do you think the dwarves hate us?
[13:00] Alabaster
    Who knows?
[13:01] Alabaster
    Those were words tainted with
    the darkness of the Abyss King.
[13:14] AbyssKnight
    The time is ripe.
[13:17] AbyssKnight
    The time of rebirth...
[13:20] AbyssKnight
    The time of the ancient king's resurrection!
[13:27] Satou
    What?
[13:29] Satou
    The black ring disappeared?
[13:32] Alabaster
    What?
[13:35] Alabaster
    The black rings...
[13:37] Alabaster
    are disappearing?
[13:46] Emperor
    So, it's finally started?
[14:07] Hime
    What is happening?!
[14:15] Granart
    Look out! They're coming!
[14:22] Satou
    Abyssal monsters?!
[14:23] Alabaster
    It's too dangerous to fight without
    understanding what's happening.
[14:27] Alabaster
    Let's retreat outside for now!
[14:35] Satou
    There are so many!
[14:37] Satou
    Where are they all springing up from?!
[14:39] Alabaster
    They must have been summoned by someone.
[14:42] Alabaster
    There are too many of them!
[14:43] Satou
    In that case...
[14:45] Satou
    Sensei! Please do it!
[14:47] Saphir
    Huh? Me?!
[14:49] Satou
    Do that thing and become a dragon.
[14:51] Saphir
    No, I can't...
[14:54] Saphir
    I can't use great power like that in
    this land with so little water magic.
[14:58] Satou
    For real?!
[15:03] Alabaster
    Satou-kun!
[15:05] Alabaster
    We fight back!
[15:16] Hime
    Satou! Behind you!
[15:20] Marse
    Allow me to at least back you up.
[15:23] Satou
    Thanks.
[15:33] Satou
    Hey, Grandpa, what's going on?
[15:37] Satou
    There's no end to them.
[15:39] Alabaster
    We can't defeat them all? No other choice...
[15:44] Alabaster
    Run! This way!
[15:46] Alabaster
    We'll buy some distance while we can!
[15:53] Alabaster
    Hmph!
[16:01] Hime
    Are you okay?
[16:03] Satou
    I'm fine. This is nothing.
[16:06] Satou
    I just need a little rest.
[16:09] Alabaster
    This is bad.
[16:11] Alabaster
    He's exerted himself too much.
[16:13] Alabaster
    At this rate...
[16:18] Alabaster
    I didn't want... to believe it.
[16:22] Alabaster
    I thought we still had time.
[16:25] Alabaster
    No, I hoped that was true.
[16:29] Alabaster
    I was wrong.
[16:32] Satou
    What is this...?
[16:43] Alabaster
    The Abyss King... has been fully resurrected!
[16:56] Satou
    That mass of monsters...
[17:01] Alabaster
    You can't harness the true power
    of the Ring King without all five rings.
[17:06] Alabaster
    You won't stand a chance
    of winning if you fight.
[17:09] Alabaster
    Would we gather the five rings first,
[17:12] Alabaster
    or would the Abyss King return first?
[17:15] Alabaster
    It was a gamble we lost.
[17:18] Alabaster
    Both me and this world.
[17:30] Marse
    Satou-kun?!
[17:33] Satou
    Anyway...
[17:34] Satou
    we need to run for now,
[17:35] Satou
    and search for the Ring of Earth.
[17:37] Satou
    There's still a chance it's not too late!
[17:42] Alabaster
    He won't let us escape that easily now.
[17:46] Alabaster
    No, there's nowhere to run to in this world.
[17:51] Alabaster
    The Abyss King will find us for certain.
[17:55] Nef
    No way! Then what are we supposed to do?
[17:58] Alabaster
    Worry not.
[18:00] Alabaster
    I won't let us go down so easily!
[18:08] Satou
    Grandpa, what are you doing?
[18:10] Alabaster
    I'm opening the gate!
[18:12] Alabaster
    We can't let the Rings fall into
    the Abyss King's hands, no matter what!
[18:17] Satou
    Grandpa!
[18:18] Alabaster
    Stay back!
[18:23] Marse
    Please, leave this to me.
[18:27] Alabaster
    Once the gate closes, even the Abyss
    King won't be able to follow you.
[18:32] Alabaster
    Though, to do that, I'll have to stay
    behind and close the gate quickly.
[18:37] Alabaster
    If we leave it open,
    our whole plan will be ruined.
[18:42] Alabaster
    Satou-kun, you were my hope.
[18:47] Alabaster
    I'm sorry things have turned out this way,
[18:50] Alabaster
    but please free the Princesses
    from the Rings' fate.
[18:55] Alabaster
    Please take care of Himeno.
[19:01] Hime
    No!
[19:02] Hime
    Grandpa!
[19:08] Alabaster
    Are you sure about staying here, Marse-dono?
[19:12] Marse
    I've made my decision to fight
    for this world until the end.
[19:16] Alabaster
    Sorry for making you join me in this.
[19:20] Marse
    No, fighting alongside
    the Great Sage is an honor.
[21:18] Satou
    Oh, yeah.
[21:22] Satou
    That's right.
[21:28] Satou
    It has to be even harder on the others.
[21:39] (Flashback) Hime
    Grandpa...
[21:43] (Flashback) Satou
    Have we really come home?
[22:05] Granart
    Th-This is too tight.
[22:07] Hime
    Figures it wouldn't fit.
[22:10] Nef
    What is this thing called?
[22:13] Hime
    It's a brassiere.
[22:14] Hime
    Want to try wearing one?
[22:15] Nef
    Can I?
[22:18] Nef
    It's a bit tight...
[22:21] Nef
    It really is strange.
[22:23] Nef
    It makes me feel a little tense and determined!
[22:25] Granart
    What's the point of wearing
    something so flashy under clothing?
[22:30] Hime
    Underwear isn't actually meant to be shown off.
[22:33] Granart
    But you're always
    showing off yours, aren't you?
[22:36] Hime
    Letting a little peak show is actually fine.
[22:41] Saphir
    Don't go asking her such a crude question.
[22:44] Granart
    Oh, right! She's seducing our man!
[22:47] Hime
    Wha?!
[22:59] Satou
    Hime?
[23:06] Satou
    Huh?
[23:07] Satou
    A bra?
[23:17] Saphir
    Hey, hurry up and produce one that fits me.
[23:20] Hime
    I don't have any!
[23:22] Granart
    These clothes have an odd smell.
[23:25] Hime
    Those are Grandpa's!
[23:27] Nef
    Krystal-sama! What is "Free Shipping"?!
[23:35] Hime
    Satou...
[23:36] Hime
    G-Good morning.

[00:01] Nef
    I've finished changing.
[00:03] Granart
    I'm done, too.
[00:05] Saphir
    Me, too.
[00:06] Hime
    Okay, come on out.
[00:11] Nef
    What do you think?
[00:12] Hime
    You look really cute!
[00:15] Granart
    Does this work?
[00:17] Saphir
    I don't really know, either.
[00:19] Hime
    You both look good in your outfits!
[00:21] Hime
    Right, Satou?
[00:23] Satou
    I think they're good?
[00:24] Customer
    Huh? Cat-ears? Horns?
[00:27] Customer
    You think there's some event going on?
[00:30] Satou
    Unfortunately, their heads
    are the biggest problem here.
[00:33] Hime
    For now, let's just make sure
    they don't stand out too much.
[00:36] Hime
    Hey, look!
[00:38] Hime
    I think something like this will look good, too!
[00:40] Hime
    All four of us could wear
    different colors of it?
[00:43] Hime
    So cute!
[00:44] Satou
    Hime's having fun.
[02:21] Saphir
    Now, what we need to think about is...
[02:25] Saphir
    what we're going to do from here.
[02:27] Satou
    So you say,
[02:28] Satou
    but there was nothing at
    the location of the door of light.
[02:32] Saphir
    It's probably going to be difficult.
[02:34] Saphir
    I suppose he was known as the Great Sage
    because he could wield magic that powerful.
[02:38] Granart
    We could wait for someone
     to come for us from our world,
[02:42] Granart
    or we can try and uncover
    another means to return ourselves.
[02:45] Granart
    Either way, we currently have no leads.
[02:48] Granart
    It's looking hopeless.
[02:50] Saphir
    And we need to fix that.
[02:52] Saphir
    Aren't you worried about your nation?
[02:56] Staff
    Would you like to order something?
[02:57] Nef
    Huh?!
[02:58] Granart
    Needakitta's destination is chosen
    by the Merchant Guild.
[03:02] Granart
    I'm not worried about my nation.
[03:04] Nef
    Oh, Romca...
[03:07] Nef
    still has my brother and the Elder, so...
[03:10] Hime
    I've been in this world for
    the past ten years anyway.
[03:14] Saphir
    How can you all be so carefree?
[03:16] Granart
    I haven't given up yet.
[03:19] Granart
    But now that it's come to this,
[03:20] Granart
    we have to consider the worst-case scenario.
[03:26] Granart
    Speaking of which,
[03:27] Granart
    I'm surprised you can eat
    so much while complaining.
[03:32] Saphir
    But the food here is good!
[03:34] Saphir
    I'm a sucker for sweets!
[03:37] Satou
    Do we have enough money?
[03:40] Hime
    Don't worry. Leave it to me.
[03:43] Satou
    Huh?
[03:45] Saphir
    Still, I'm so frustrated.
[03:48] Saphir
    Even if I know there's nothing
    we can do about it,
[03:50] Saphir
    I still want to keep searching for a way home.
[03:54] Satou
    But how are we supposed to do that?
[03:57] Saphir
    If there's a spot dense with magic,
[03:59] Saphir
    then it should be easy
    to connect it to our world.
[04:01] Saphir
    We'll start by looking for such places!
[04:07] Saphir
    Even though I got myself super motivated...
[04:11] Saphir
    we couldn't find any leads.
[04:15] Granart
    You know, there are only humans in this land,
[04:19] Granart
    not any of the other races.
[04:21] Granart
    Okay!
[04:22] Granart
    Let's start by bringing more
    cat-people to this land!
[04:24] Granart
    Time to make babies!
[04:26] Hime
    Stop it!
[04:27] Nef
    I'll do my best to conquer this
    ultimate form of outdoors, too.
[04:31] Nef
    So you should keep giving it
    your all, too, Saphir-sama!
[04:34] Granart
    Now that I think about it, Krystal,
[04:36] Granart
    what happened to that talk about advancing
    your relationship with the Ring King
[04:40] Granart
    once you came back here?
[04:41] Hime
    W-Well, that's up to Satou...
[04:46] Nef
    You promised, right?!
[04:47] Hime
    Grk!
[04:51] Hime
    Okay, good night.
[04:53] Nef
    Good night.
[04:56] Hime
    It's a bit cramped with four people.
[04:59] Hime
    So I'm the one sleeping here.
[05:01] Satou
    Will those three be all right by themselves?
[05:04] Hime
    They're right next door. They'll be fine.
[05:14] Satou
    Hey...
[05:15] Hime
    Yes?!
[05:16] Satou
    About the money for today's clothes and food...
[05:20] Hime
    Oh, that.
[05:22] Hime
    In my room...
[05:24] Hime
    there was a letter left by Grandpa.
[05:28] Alabaster
    If you're reading this,
[05:31] Alabaster
    then things didn't work out.
[05:33] Alabaster
    I'm sorry I couldn't be by your side.
[05:36] Alabaster
    But I'm glad you're safe, Himeno.
[05:40] Alabaster
    You don't need to worry about a thing.
[05:42] Alabaster
    I've left you a home and money.
[05:45] Alabaster
    I laid all the groundwork
    for you to be able to live here.
[05:52] Alabaster
    I want you to forget about Arnulus,
[05:54] Alabaster
    and live a normal life.
[06:01] Hime
    Grandpa...
[06:03] Hime
    was planning for if this happened.
[06:06] Hime
    So... he said I don't need to
    worry about a thing.
[06:17] Friend
    I thought you had moved abroad.
[06:20] Hime
    Well, we ran into a bit of trouble.
[06:23] Tanaka
    What were you doing all summer break?
[06:26] Satou
    Just some things.
[06:29] Satou
    I thought I'd never have to go to school again.
[06:36] Satou
    Several days passed after that.
[06:39] Satou
    Nefritis began commuting to the library
    to learn more about this world.
[06:45] Satou
    Granart apparently made friends
    in the neighborhood.
[06:49] Satou
    Saphir has constantly been lost in thought.
[07:07] Hime
    Satou.
[07:10] Hime
    You've been sneaking out here every night, huh?
[07:14] Satou
    I don't mind being back,
[07:17] Satou
    but are the princesses okay
    with things being like this?
[07:20] Hime
    Do you remember what Grandpa said at the end?
[07:24] Hime
    He wanted you to free the princesses
    from the rings' fate.
[07:31] Hime
    We all have to find our own
    happiness in this world.
[07:36] Hime
    Including you, Satou.
[07:40] Hime
    Forget about the other world,
[07:42] Hime
    and find happiness with me here.
[07:48] Hime
    Please?
[07:51] Satou
    Find happiness?
[08:00] Hime
    Satou.
[08:02] Satou
    Hime.
[08:06] Hime
    What?!
[08:08] Satou
    The shrine?!
[08:15] Satou
    Something's coming from the shrine?
[08:17] Satou
    A woman?!
[08:23] Amber
    I've waited a long time.
[08:28] Amber
    We meet at last,
[08:33] Amber
    Ring King.
[08:39] Amber
    Oh, am I interrupting?
[08:42] Amber
    I'll leave.
[08:42] Both
    Huh?!
[08:43] Satou
    Hold on a minute! Did you just say "Ring King"?
[08:48] Hime
    You wouldn't happen to be...?
[08:57] Amber
    I'm the one protecting the Ring of Earth,
[08:59] Amber
    Amber Idanokan.
[09:01] Satou
    The Ring Princess... was in this world?!
[09:06] Amber
    It started in the distant past.
[09:08] Amber
    Once the war with the Abyss King was over,
[09:11] Amber
    there were only a handful
    of dwarves who survived.
[09:16] Amber
    Eventually the dwarves would die out and
    the Land of Earth, Idanokan, would perish.
[09:21] Amber
    The dwarves accepted their pending ruin,
[09:23] Amber
    so in order to protect and pass on the ring,
[09:26] Amber
    they created a vessel that would
    withstand the test of time—
[09:30] Amber
    Amber.
[09:32] Satou
    Created?
[09:34] Amber
    I'm a manufactured object.
[09:37] Amber
    A replica of the dwarf princess.
[09:41] Amber
    I was transported to this world
    along with the ring.
[09:47] Amber
    In order to prevent anyone
    from stealing the ring.
[09:51] Amber
    In order to deliver it to the Ring King.
[09:55] Amber
    I've waited for centuries and centuries.
[09:59] Amber
    And now...
[10:01] Amber
    the Ring King is here.
[10:05] Amber
    Now,
[10:07] Amber
    let us be bound,
[10:09] Amber
    and then we'll defeat the Abyss King,
[10:10] Amber
    and bring peace to Arnulus.
[10:12] Hime
    No!
[10:14] Hime
    Arnulus is already done for.
[10:16] Hime
    The Abyss King has returned,
[10:18] Hime
    and we fled here!
[10:21] Hime
    We've lost. So...!
[10:25] Hime
    Satou definitely isn't going back!
[10:31] Satou
    Hime...
[10:34] Amber
    I see.
[10:36] Amber
    So my destiny will go unfulfilled.
[10:43] Amber
    Tell me if you have a change of heart.
[10:46] Amber
    I'm accustomed to waiting
    for that which never comes.
[11:00] Granart
    Hey, Satou.
[11:02] Granart
    Will you be coming home early tomorrow?
[11:04] Granart
    I'm absolutely bored day after day.
[11:07] Satou
    I didn't do any of my summer homework,
[11:10] Satou
    so I'll be stuck with
    make-up classes for a while.
[11:13] Granart
    You're our husband, so we need you to
    spend more time with us!
[11:17] Satou
    R-Right!
[11:19] Granart
    Even Nefritis has been feeling bored, too.
[11:22] Satou
    What about the library?
[11:24] Nef
    Well, you see...
[11:26] Nef
    After going there every day,
    they started recognizing me,
[11:30] Nef
    and that made it hard to go there anymore...
[11:32] Granart
    Saphir's been cooped up in
    the house this whole time too.
[11:35] Granart
    Aren't you bored?
[11:36] Saphir
    Hmm?
[11:38] Saphir
    Not particularly...
[11:44] Saphir
    By the way, Ring King.
[11:46] Saphir
    It looked like you were out late
    with Krystal last night.
[11:49] Saphir
    What were you two doing?
[11:52] Satou
    Speaking of that, actually...
[11:55] Hime
    We were just going to
    the convenience store for a bit!
[11:57] Hime
    Right, Satou?!
[11:58] Satou
    Y-Yeah.
[12:07] Satou
    Hime,
[12:08] Satou
    are you sure we should
    keep quiet about Amber?
[12:11] Hime
    What can we do if we go back?
[12:13] Hime
    Can you really defeat the Abyss King
    if we collect all five rings?
[12:18] Hime
    Can you really defeat
    something like that, Satou?
[12:24] Hime
    We need to find happiness in this world now.
[12:34] Hime
    Sorry I was late leaving!
[12:36] Satou
    It's fine.
[12:39] Hime
    Whoa, let's hurry!
[12:47] Satou
    Amber? What are you doing?
[12:49] Amber
    I'm doing what I should be doing.
[12:52] Satou
    Huh?
[12:54] Amber
    It's my duty to watch over the Ring King.
[12:58] Amber
    And it's my destiny
    for the Ring King to find me.
[13:03] Amber
    Yesterday, I heard the voice
    of someone searching for me.
[13:07] Amber
    I thought you had finally come.
[13:09] Amber
    But...
[13:10] Amber
    You weren't searching for me.
[13:15] Amber
    You were searching for the happiness
    the Maiden of the Ring of Light spoke of.
[13:25] Staff
    Come on, come on over, they're cheap!
[13:29] Satou
    They even have carrots.
[13:31] Amber
    Apples.
[13:33] Satou
    Amber?
[13:35] Amber
    The apples here are exquisite.
[13:37] Amber
    The people working this shop
[13:39] Amber
    are the family that have protected
    the mountain shrine for generations.
[13:42] Amber
    Their offerings were always exquisite apples.
[13:45] Satou
    Wow. I never knew that.
SIGN    Exquisite Apples
    178 yen apiece
[13:50] Satou
    Apples, huh?
[13:54] Satou
    Huh?
[14:12] Amber
    I can return you to Arnulus.
[14:16] Amber
    I was granted the power to do that.
[14:20] Amber
    Once we forge the contract of the rings,
[14:22] Amber
    I will regain my power,
[14:24] Amber
    and I can open a door to Arnulus.
[14:34] Boy
    It's finally over!
[14:48] Amber
    Where's the Maiden of the Ring of Light?
[14:50] Satou
    She finished her homework early and went home.
[14:53] Satou
    Said she had the housework.
[14:56] Amber
    Ring King, did you intend to return
    to Arnulus as soon as possible?
[15:01] Satou
    That was my intention.
[15:03] Satou
    But after seeing the look on Hime's face...
[15:07] Satou
    She might be right that we
    won't be able to do anything,
[15:11] Satou
    even now that we've gathered all the rings.
[15:13] Amber
    Don't worry.
[15:16] Amber
    The power of the rings is absolute.
[15:18] Amber
    You'll definitely be capable
    of sealing the Abyss King.
[15:22] Amber
    That's what I've been taught.
[15:25] Satou
    Just like the legends claim, huh?
[15:28] Amber
    I won't force you.
[15:30] Amber
    The Ring King is the reason I was created,
[15:34] Amber
    so I'll watch over you until you die.
[15:37] Satou
    "'Til death do us part," huh?
[15:39] Amber
    I want to know the reason I was created.
[15:44] Amber
    I want to learn the value
    of the time I spent waiting.
[15:47] Satou
    That's heavy.
[15:48] Amber
    I'm not heavy.
[15:50] Amber
    I was created to weigh
    approximately the same as a person.
[15:53] Satou
    Huh?
[15:54] Amber
    That was a joke.
[15:58] Amber
    The Ring Princesses are all the same.
[16:01] Amber
    We live our lives for the Ring King
    and dedicate ourselves to the world.
[16:05] Amber
    That's the reason we were born.
[16:07] Amber
    And that duty is never a light one.
[16:10] Satou
    Their reason for living?
[16:14] Satou
    That's... right.
[16:20] Satou
    Would you give me your ring?
[16:23] Amber
    Have you changed your mind?
[16:25] Satou
    No, I found my answer.
[16:28] Satou
    I'll do what I need to do.
[16:32] Amber
    I see.
[16:35] Amber
    I'm happy.
[16:38] Satou
    You won't ask me why?
[16:40] Amber
    Your will is my will.
[16:44] Amber
    I need no reason.
[16:46] Satou
    I see.
[17:11] Satou
    Hime?
[17:20] Hime
    I'm sorry for startling you.
[17:23] Hime
    I was remembering Grandpa again.
[17:27] Hime
    But I'm okay.
[17:29] Hime
    The tears are just coming
    on their own right now.
[17:32] Hime
    I'm sure... I'll get used to it eventually.
[17:37] Hime
    That ring...
[17:40] Satou
    It's the Ring of Earth.
[17:42] Satou
    Now I've gathered all five rings.
[17:44] Hime
    You accepted the ring from Amber? Why?
[17:48] Satou
    We're returning to Arnulus.
[17:51] Hime
    No! You can't!
[17:54] Satou
    We're all here right now because
    we couldn't collect all five rings.
[17:59] Satou
    If we have all the rings, then we have to go.
[18:02] Hime
    I know that!
[18:04] Hime
    But we were finally able to be together again!
[18:07] Hime
    If I were to lose you
    in that dangerous world...
[18:12] Satou
    Is that all the duty of the ring
    meant to you, Hime?
[18:18] Satou
    You were my childhood friend
    for ten whole years.
[18:20] Satou
    Those ten years were everything
    I ever knew about you, Hime.
[18:23] Satou
    Yet the duty of the ring was so important
    to you that you threw away that decade, right?
[18:29] Satou
    Your Grandpa asked me to free you
    from the duty of the rings,
[18:33] Satou
    but that doesn't mean running away
    from it or forgetting about it.
[18:37] Satou
    It means truly ending things for good.
[18:42] Satou
    Let's face this together, Hime.
[18:45] Satou
    This time, I'll be with you.
[18:49] Satou
    This duty is no longer yours to bear alone.
[18:54] Satou
    Your grandpa said it, too.
[18:56] Satou
    The power of the rings
    is the power of our bonds.
[19:00] Satou
    I love you more than anyone else
    in both worlds, Hime.
[19:05] Satou
    We'll be all right.
[19:06] Satou
    We won't lose.
[19:13] Hime
    What is this? You sound like a fool.
[19:16] Hime
    But I'm relieved.
[19:18] Hime
    I can't see you losing when you're like that.
[19:22] Satou
    Hime...
[19:24] Hime
    Then...
[19:25] Hime
    I should respond to your love, as well, Satou.
[19:31] Hime
    Hey, Satou?
[19:33] Hime
    Shall we fulfill our promise now?
[19:37] Satou
    Huh? You mean...?
[19:40] Hime
    Don't make me say it.
[19:46] Hime
    This is like a dream.
[19:48] Hime
    Doing this in your room.
[19:55] Satou
    Hime...
[20:06] Hime
    I feel like I'm stealing a lead.
[20:11] Hime
    Makes me feel kind of guilty about the others.
[20:16] Satou
    I told you you're the only one for me, right?
[20:20] Hime
    Yeah.
[20:28] Amber
    I finished preparing the teleportation spell.
[20:31] Amber
    Now we can return to Arnulus—
[20:32] Amber
    Ah.
[20:35] Amber
    Worst timing possible?
[20:38] Both
    Mhmm. Mhmm!
[20:40] Amber
    But I can only use
    the teleportation spell once.
[20:44] Amber
    What do we do?
[20:44] Satou
    We're coming! We'll use it right away!
[20:47] Satou
    You good with that, Hime?!
[20:49] Hime
    Y-Yeah!
[20:53] Granart
    What's the matter, Satou?!
[20:57] Hime
    It's not—! No, it is what you think, but...!
[21:01] Granart
    It seems the time has arrived.
[21:03] Satou
    You noticed?
[21:05] Granart
    You shouldn't underestimate
    the insight of cat people.
[21:09] Hime
    Granart, um, I'm sorry.
[21:13] Granart
    No, I understand
    what you were thinking, Krystal.
[21:16] Granart
    We have absolutely no idea
    what's happening in our world right now.
[21:21] Granart
    So I figured I would respect Satou's wishes.
[21:25] Granart
    Though I was hoping it would go this way.
[21:28] Saphir
    Hold on a minute.
[21:29] Saphir
    I don't understand what's going on.
[21:32] Satou
    We don't really have time
    to go into detail right now...
[21:35] Saphir
    What? So this woman is...
[21:38] Saphir
    Amber Idanokan, Princess of the Ring of Earth?
[21:43] Saphir
    We can go home?!
[21:45] Satou
    Yeah.
[21:46] Satou
    We can return to Arnulus.
[21:49] Saphir
    I see.
[21:51] Saphir
    I see!
[21:52] Saphir
    We can go home.
[21:55] Hime
    All right! Preparations all set!
[21:58] Satou
    Let's go!
[21:59] Nef
    Huh? Where are we going?
[22:03] Granart
    Just stay put.

[00:12] Saphir
    Is this the palace of Idanokan?
[00:15] Hime
    Were we able to make it back?
[00:18] Hime
    It's so dark, I can hardly see.
[00:24] Satou
    Amber?
[00:30] Amber
    There are no monsters nearby.
[00:32] Amber
    There's nothing living, either.
[00:35] Satou
    Are you feeling sad?
[00:39] Granart
    Be careful.
[00:41] Granart
    I smell blood.
[00:44] Group
    Huh?
[00:47] Granart
    I'm blinded!
[00:52] Amber
    Is this better?
[00:53] Satou
    Yeah.
[01:09] Saphir
    This armor... belongs to imperial soldiers.
[01:12] Saphir
    They must have fought the monsters here.
[01:15] Granart
    They couldn't even bury their dead?
[01:18] Granart
    Just how intense was the fighting?
[01:21] Nef
    It's possible this world is already...
[01:29] Satou
    What's wrong?
[01:39] Soldier
    Go!
[01:41] Granart
    The Imperial Army!
[01:42] Granart
    There are some still engaged in combat?!
[01:45] Hime
    Satou, over there!
[01:48] Hime
    Satou?
[01:51] Satou
    Yeah.
[01:52] Satou
    I know.
[01:56] Satou
    The Abyss King.
[03:45] Amber
    If you go down through here, you'll come out
    on the flank of the monster horde.
[03:50] Amber
    You'll be able to catch
    the Abyss King by surprise.
[03:52] Satou
    Yeah.
[03:53] Hime
    Satou.
[03:54] Satou
    Don't worry.
[03:56] Satou
    We have all the rings.
[03:58] Satou
    I have everyone's power.
[04:00] Satou
    This is sooner than we expected,
[04:03] Satou
    but this is what we returned home for.
[04:09] Saphir
    Please, Ring King.
[04:11] Saphir
    I'm betting everything on you.
[04:14] Nef
    I'm sure you'll be fine, Satou-sama.
[04:18] Satou
    Yeah.
[04:21] Granart
    We're counting on you, Ring King.
[04:31] Hime
    Satou.
[04:42] Hime
    I'll be waiting, okay?
[04:47] Satou
    All right.
[04:49] Satou
    I'll be going.
[05:16] AbyssKing
    You're here,
[05:19] AbyssKing
    Inheritor of the Rings?
[05:35] Ring
    You've done well to make it this far.
[05:38] Ring
    Boy, new King,
[05:41] Ring
    I'll unite your power.
[05:53] Satou
    Wow...
[06:05] Ring
    This time, hold nothing back.
[06:55] Hime
    He did it!
[06:58] Granart
    No.
[07:04] Satou
    No way...
[07:07] Ring
    How?!
[07:09] Ring
    The Rings are the manifestation
    of the world's order.
[07:13] Ring
    The Abyss is supposed to perish,
[07:15] Ring
    and the world is supposed to be saved...
[07:21] Satou
    Does this mean... I'm not good enough?!
[07:26] Hime
    Satou!
[07:30] AbyssKing
    Inheritor of the Rings.
[07:33] AbyssKing
    So, you are another ignorant puppet?
[07:37] Saphir
    Oh, no!
[07:39] Saphir
    No, this can't be!
[07:41] Saphir
    What about our duty?!
[07:44] Saphir
    What happened to the legends?!
[07:47] Granart
    I'm going!
[07:48] Granart
    We can't afford to lose Satou here!
[07:58] Amber
    Don't worry.
[08:00] Amber
    I won't let him die.
[08:07] Satou
    So, it really is possible to be unable
    to move a single finger...
[08:16] AbyssKing
    Return to the Abyss.
[08:43] AbyssKing
    Women of the Rings...
[08:47] Satou
    Everyone? Why are you here?
[08:51] Granart
    You think we'd just abandon you?!
[09:26] Satou
    Granart!
[09:29] Granart
    Damn it! Let me go!
[09:45] Granart
    Tsk! There are too many.
[10:02] Hime
    Satou!
[10:02] Nef
    Satou-sama!
[10:04] Satou
    Everyone...
[10:06] Satou
    I'm sorry.
[10:07] Hime
    Satou!
[10:12] Satou
    Hime!
[10:35] Hime
    Good morning, Satou.
[10:40] Satou
    Hime...
[10:42] Satou
    Good morning.
[10:51] Priest
    Do you promise to love and to cherish
    one another, in sickness and in health?
[11:00] Satou
    I do.
[12:02] Satou
    Grandpa?
[12:04] Alabaster
    You're awake, Satou-kun?
[12:07] Satou
    Oh... I guess I died?
[12:11] Alabaster
    What are you saying?
[12:14] Alabaster
    We haven't died yet.
[12:18] Satou
    What's this?
[12:20] Granart
    Alabaster-dono saved us.
[12:23] Granart
    That's the Great Sage for you.
[12:25] Alabaster
    What are you saying?
[12:27] Alabaster
    I'm not that great.
[12:28] Alabaster
    Creating an opening and getting
    you all away from the Abyss King
[12:32] Alabaster
    was the best I could manage.
[12:36] Alabaster
    We really do need the
     Ring King's power, after all.
[12:41] Satou
    Oh, yeah! If you're safe,
    then that means Marse-san is...!
[12:45] Alabaster
    Prince Marse is safe, too, yes.
[12:50] Alabaster
    It's all thanks to this one.
[12:55] Satou
    You're...
[12:57] Smaragdi
    It's been a while, Ring King.
[13:00] Smaragdi
    I'm from Wind's royal family of Romca,
[13:02] Smaragdi
    Smaragdi Romca.
[13:05] Alabaster
    Thanks to Smaragdi,
[13:08] Alabaster
    we managed to escape from
    the Abyss Monsters that surrounded us.
[13:15] Smaragdi
    I've been watching over
    Alabaster-sama for a while.
[13:20] Smaragdi
    However, once he was faced with danger...
[13:22] Smaragdi
    I couldn't sit still.
[13:25] Smaragdi
    Because of that,
    I was able to aid Alabaster-sama.
[13:30] Smaragdi
    Alabaster-sama gave my life
    such wonderful meaning.
[13:36] Smaragdi
    To me, he truly is my one...
[13:43] Alabaster
    The monsters have withdrawn.
[13:46] Alabaster
    I believe the Abyss King
    has suffered a serious wound, too.
[13:50] Satou
    I guess I at least had some effect.
[13:53] Alabaster
    What are you saying?
[13:55] Alabaster
    It was wonderfully effective.
[13:57] Alabaster
    We couldn't even get
    a single arrow to pierce him.
[14:03] Alabaster
    You've done well, Satou-kun.
[14:07] Granart
    Great Sage, what is the overall situation like?
[14:13] Alabaster
    Shortly after you left,
[14:14] Alabaster
    the Abyss King's forces
    commenced their invasion,
[14:19] Alabaster
    and the Imperial Army halted their advance
    at the Great Mountain Wall.
[14:23] Alabaster
    I assisted, but...
[14:25] Alabaster
    there was little we could do
    other than run away.
[14:29] Saphir
    And Maasa?!
[14:30] Saphir
    What happened to Maasa?!
[14:32] Alabaster
    Each nation is fighting in different locations.
[14:37] Alabaster
    Maasa is safe.
[14:39] Alabaster
    Prince Marse is there, as well.
[14:42] Alabaster
    Though the number of monsters
    just keeps going up, not down.
[14:48] Alabaster
    The situation is steadily worsening.
[14:51] Alabaster
    I'm really glad we didn't give up hope.
[14:55] Alabaster
    I'm glad you all made it back!
[14:59] Smaragdi
    Alabaster-sama, it's almost dawn.
[15:02] Alabaster
    The Ring King has returned.
[15:05] Alabaster
    All the princesses are together, too.
[15:08] Alabaster
    The morning sun is full of hope.
[15:18] Citizen
    The Ring King has returned!
[15:21] Citizen
    All five princesses are with him!
[15:26] Girl
    I was told I couldn't go outside
    because there's lots of monsters.
[15:29] Girl
    But it'll be okay now that
    you're back, right, Ring King?
[15:34] Satou
    Yeah, leave it to me.
[15:38] Satou
    I'll save this world!
[15:44] Alabaster
    Now, we need to talk about what's to come.
[15:48] Saphir
    Before that, I'd like to hear your excuse.
[15:52] Saphir
    I thought we were supposed
    to be able to defeat the Abyss King
[15:55] Saphir
    once the Rings were collected?
SIGN    STARE...
[16:00] Satou
    Grandpa, be honest with me.
[16:03] Satou
    Was my power not enough?
[16:05] Alabaster
    I have one idea as to why you
    weren't able to defeat the Abyss King.
[16:12] Alabaster
    There was not one mention of
    the Black Rings that the Abyss King wore.
[16:19] Amber
    Black Rings?
[16:21] Satou
    They looked just like this, only black.
[16:25] Amber
    That's not in my records.
[16:27] Amber
    The dwarves didn't know about that, either.
[16:30] Alabaster
    Still, even in multiple sources,
[16:34] Alabaster
    it's certain that the Ring King
    sealed away the Abyss King.
[16:38] Alabaster
    However, we don't know how much
    power was required to do so.
[16:43] Saphir
    Then what are you saying we should do?
[16:46] Alabaster
    There's only one thing we can do.
[16:49] Alabaster
    We have to draw out even more of
    the Rings' power before our next battle!
[16:53] Alabaster
    Which means Satou-kun needs to strengthen his
    bonds with the Ring Princesses even further.
[16:59] Hime
    Even stronger bonds... Does that mean...?
[17:02] Granart
    Baby making!
[17:04] Alabaster
    Well, that's one option.
[17:06] Hime
    It is?!
[17:08] Marse
    Satou-kun!
[17:09] Satou
    Marse-san!
[17:11] Satou
    What are you doing here?!
[17:12] Marse
    I received word that you
    had returned, and came at once.
[17:17] Marse
    I wanted to see you as soon as possible.
[17:21] Alabaster
    Now, moving on to the main topic.
[17:26] Alabaster
    It's said that the Ring Princesses stood
    alongside the Ring King in battle long ago.
[17:33] Alabaster
    In order to draw out the Rings' power,
[17:36] Alabaster
    both the will to fight alongside him
[17:38] Alabaster
    and the strength to carry out
    that will may be required.
[17:43] Granart
    Strength, huh?
[17:45] Granart
    Saphir, Amber, and I may be fine there...
[17:48] Nef
    But we're not very helpful.
[17:50] Alabaster
    So, on that note,
[17:52] Alabaster
    we'll have everyone acquire the strength
    that befits a wife of the Ring King!
[17:57] Alabaster
    That's right, this training...
[18:02] Alabaster
    is wife training!
[18:11] Maid
    This will be your room, Ring King.
[18:15] Maid
    The Princesses are already waiting for you.
[18:29] Granart
    Satou, once again, you made up your mind
    to fight to save this world for our sakes.
[18:34] Nef
    So I believe we should
    steel our resolve, as well.
[18:39] Amber
    Ring King, replenish your energy
    as much as you need.
[18:43] Granart
    Now, choose the woman you'd like!
[18:45] Granart
    Of course, you're welcome
    to choose all of us at once!
[18:48] Satou
    Huh?
[18:50] Granart
    What's the matter?
    Isn't a harem every man's dream?!
[18:53] Saphir
    Look at what you're doing.
    You're troubling the Ring King.
[18:59] Saphir
    This is the problem with beastmen
    who can't read the mood.
[19:02] Granart
    What?!
SIGN    SNAP
[19:03] Granart
    What did you say?!
[19:05] Granart
    That's big talk from the shorty
    who fell behind her little sister!
[19:07] Saphir
    Huh?! Saphira has nothing to do with this!
[19:09] Granart
    What? Did I hit the mark?
    You're raising your voice so much.
[19:13] Saphir
    I am not!
[19:20] Hime
    Bridal training, huh?
[19:22] Satou
    You sound happy.
[19:24] Hime
    Huh? Not particularly.
[19:26] Hime
    You've been working
    so hard for us this whole time,
[19:29] Hime
    so it's my turn to work hard, too.
[19:37] Satou
    Is that...?
[19:39] Hime
    Yeah.
[19:43] Hime
    In my real family, I had a father,
    a mother, and a little sister.
[19:49] Hime
    My little sister remained in this world,
[19:52] Hime
    so I haven't seen her in ten years now.
[19:56] Hime
    My parents are here.
[19:59] Hime
    Father, Mother, I'm home.
[20:05] Hime
    It happened when I was little.
[20:07] Hime
    So I only vaguely remember
    what they looked like,
[20:10] Hime
    but they both risked their lives to protect me.
[20:20] Hime
    This man...
[20:22] Hime
    is my husband.
[20:26] Hime
    Thank you, Satou.
[20:28] Hime
    I was able to return here, thanks to you.
[20:36] Alabaster
    Krystal.
[20:38] Hime
    Grandpa?! How long have you been there?!
[20:41] Amber
    Since, "Father, Mother, I'm home."
[20:45] Hime
    That's basically the whole time!
[20:47] Nef
    I don't think it's anything
    to be embarrassed about.
[20:50] Nef
    I think it was a lovely story.
[20:53] Alabaster
    By the way, about your magic training.
[20:56] Hime
    Yeah, I'll do my best!
[20:58] Hime
    I'm counting on you!
[20:59] Alabaster
    No, it won't be me.
[21:02] Alabaster
    I've summoned a teacher
    more appropriate for you, Krystal.
[21:06] Alabaster
    I wanted to let you know,
     since they should be arriving soon.
[21:13] Granart
    What?!
[21:28] Morion
    Hmm, so you're...
[21:31] Morion
    You're not too bad.
[21:38] Morion
    I'm Morion Ravri Nokanatika.
[21:43] Morion
    Glad to see you,
[21:45] Morion
    Sister.
[21:47] Morion
    And...
[21:49] Morion
    Brother.
[21:52] Nef
    Brother?
[21:54] Satou
    Morion Ravri Nokanatika?
[22:01] Satou
    You're Hime's little sister?!
