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