[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?!
