[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!

[00:19] 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?! E3 - Episode 3 Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate. Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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...

Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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.

[00:07] 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.

[00:13] 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!

[00:13] 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.

[00:44] 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?! E10 - Episode 10 Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate. Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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.

[00:03] 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.

[00:15] 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?!
