[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?!
