**[00:11] Aslan**
You've improved a lot.
Keep up that dedication.
**[00:14] Subordinate**
Yes, Highness! Thank you!
**[00:18] Carl**
Prince Aslan!
**[00:20] Aslan**
Carl. What is it?
**[00:22] Carl**
We've apprehended that merchant.
**[00:25] Aslan**
Really?
**[00:26] Carl**
Yes.
**[00:27] Carl**
Now we have irrefutable proof.
**[00:30] Soldier**
Your Highness!
**[00:32] Soldier**
Reporting! It's Princess Zenobia!
**[00:35] Aslan**
What? What about her?
**[00:37] Soldier**
She abruptly recovered from her illness,
**[00:39] Soldier**
and she even regained her eyesight!

**[02:12] Soei**
As for Prince Aslan,
**[02:14] Soei**
I would say my odds
of defeating him are 50/50.
**[02:18] Rimuru**
For real?!
**[02:19] Rimuru**
I underestimated him, frankly.
**[02:22] Rimuru**
Could Benimaru beat him?
**[02:24] Soei**
If he could fight without restrictions.
**[02:26] Rimuru**
Hmm...
**[02:28] Rimuru**
What was he like as a person?
**[02:30] Soei**
Valiant, and he looks out for his friends.
**[02:32] Soei**
He gave me the impression of a likable
young man with the air of a champion.
**[02:36] Rimuru**
So backing the Aslan faction
might be the right choice.
**[02:40] Rimuru**
And how was Paulo?
**[02:43] Soei**
He was in a pub, ordering drinks and snacks
**[02:46] Soei**
while constantly badmouthing you.
**[02:48] Rimuru**
Badmouthing me?!
**[02:51] Paulo**
That smart-ass little brat!
**[02:54] Paulo**
He works me to the bone, he's stingy...
**[02:56] Paulo**
What kind of "master" is that?!
**[02:59] Rimuru**
Uh-huh...
**[03:00] Soei**
But thanks to that,
no one suspects him, at least.
**[03:04] Rimuru**
So everything's still
going to plan, technically.
**[03:07] Rimuru**
In that case, I'm going to
go take care of something.
**[03:10] Rimuru**
Keep monitoring Paulo for me, all right?
**[03:13] Soei**
Of course.
**[03:23] Rimuru**
*I was right to sneak in a body double.*
**[03:27] Rimuru**
*Okay!*
**[03:34] Rimuru**
*Right, so Princess Zenobia's room is...*
**[03:45] Rimuru**
*Hmm, she's not here...*
**[03:47] Rimuru**
*Wonder if she's eating,
or maybe in the bath?*
**[03:50] Rimuru**
*Nice timing!*
**[04:01] Ranga**
Master!
**[04:02] Ranga**
No suspicious individuals approached!
**[04:04] Rimuru**
Okay... Good job keeping guard.
**[04:13] Barack**
You know...
**[04:16] Barack**
I can still see that court
physician's pissed expression.
**[04:19] Chiffon**
Now that the princess is cured,
**[04:22] Chiffon**
his moment of glory is over.
**[04:24] Servant**
Boss! Boss!
**[04:25] Barack**
What's all the yelling?
**[04:27] Servant**
R-Reporting!
**[04:29] Servant**
Prince Aslan is at the front door!
**[04:32] Chiffon**
At this hour?
**[04:36] Barack**
It must be about Rimuru.
**[04:39] Rimuru**
Huh?
**[04:40] Chiffon**
I see.
**[04:41] Chiffon**
Perhaps he's here to thank Great Rimuru
for curing the princess.
**[04:45] Barack**
He wouldn't visit the home of a member
of the opposing faction otherwise.
**[04:50] Barack**
I'll let him in. Is that all right?
**[04:55] Aslan**
Sorry to drop in so late at night.
**[04:58] Barack**
It's been a long time, Prince Aslan.
**[05:01] Barack**
I presume your sword skills remain sharp?
**[05:03] Aslan**
Hah!
**[05:04] Aslan**
Don't talk down to me
just because you taught me once!
**[05:08] Aslan**
You're Rimuru, right?
**[05:10] Aslan**
You have my thanks for saving my sister.
**[05:15] Aslan**
The three of us siblings
got along well at one time.
**[05:19] Aslan**
I intended to assist our brother as minister
of the military when he became king.
**[05:24] Aslan**
But then...
**[05:27] Aslan**
My brother, Crown Prince Souther, changed.
**[05:33] Aslan**
Zenobia fell ill three years ago.
**[05:36] Aslan**
Her condition only continued to worsen,
**[05:38] Aslan**
and in the end, she even lost her eyesight.
**[05:41] Aslan**
My brother and I were so anxious,
**[05:43] Aslan**
but Gustav said there was
nothing we could do.
**[05:47] Aslan**
Had it truly been an illness,
I might have considered it fate.
**[05:51] Barack**
You believe it wasn't?
**[05:54] Aslan**
Barack, have you met with the king recently?
**[05:58] Barack**
No, I haven't.
**[06:01] Rimuru**
What's this about?
**[06:03] Chiffon**
We've kept it concealed
to ensure other countries don't find out,
**[06:06] Chiffon**
but our king, Tedron,
is also bedridden due to illness.
**[06:10] Aslan**
Only Gustav is allowed to see him.
**[06:12] Aslan**
Isn't that ridiculous?
**[06:13] Aslan**
I'm his son, and I can't even see him!
**[06:17] Barack**
When you put it that way...
**[06:19] Barack**
Wait, come to think of it,
**[06:22] Barack**
why did I never find it strange
that I wasn't allowed to see the king?
**[06:25] Aslan**
That's just it.
**[06:26] Aslan**
The fact that senior statesmen like
yourselves didn't even find it unnatural
**[06:31] Aslan**
is proof that this nation
is in its terminal stage.
**[06:35] Aslan**
Are you wondering
why no one told you before now?
**[06:38] Aslan**
Well, that's simple.
**[06:40] Aslan**
Because it wasn't just Zenobia.
**[06:42] Aslan**
My brother, a man worthy of admiration,
**[06:44] Aslan**
is under Gustav's control, as well.
**[06:46] Barack**
Wha...
**[06:47] Barack**
You may be a prince,
but I cannot overlook that statement!
**[06:51] Chiffon**
Do you believe Crown Prince
Souther is behind all this?
**[06:56] Aslan**
Just think about it.
**[06:58] Aslan**
It was three years ago
**[07:00] Aslan**
when my sickly brother suddenly became
so strong as to be unrecognizable.
**[07:04] Aslan**
Do you really think there's no connection?
**[07:07] Rimuru**
*Three years ago...*
**[07:09] Rimuru**
*Around the same time Zenobia fell ill, then?*
**[07:13] Aslan**
No need to feel ashamed.
**[07:14] Aslan**
That's just what you two
were fooled into believing...
**[07:17] Aslan**
through the work of my brother's Charm.
**[07:20] Chiffon**
Charm? You can't mean...
**[07:22] Aslan**
Exactly.
**[07:24] Aslan**
The technique used by vampires.
**[07:26] Aslan**
A friend of mine from Lubelius
taught me all about vampires,
**[07:30] Aslan**
and he has all of their unique traits.
**[07:32] Barack**
But Crown Prince Souther
has no problem being in direct sunlight.
**[07:37] Aslan**
Higher-ranking vampires
aren't harmed by sunlight, apparently.
**[07:41] Barack**
Then you believe Court
Physician Gustav is a vampire,
**[07:44] Barack**
and he made Crown Prince Souther
his underling and now controls him?
**[07:47] Aslan**
No,
**[07:48] Aslan**
I believe my brother was given Zeinblood
and reborn as a high-ranking vampire.
**[07:54] Rimuru**
Zeinblood?
**[07:57] Aslan**
My old friend, Carl,
**[07:59] Aslan**
suspects this whole thing isn't
about some kingdom's struggle for succession,
**[08:03] Aslan**
but that it's a plot by Demon Lord Valentine
to sabotage humanity's zone of defense.
**[08:10] Chiffon**
A Demon Lord?
**[08:13] Rimuru**
*This is turning into something big.*
**[08:16] Rimuru**
*I'd rather not go up against a Demon Lord...*
**[08:23] Barack**
I can't believe even I was being Charmed!
**[08:27] Aslan**
Wow, Violent Break, eh? Impressive.
**[08:31] Rimuru**
*An Art?*
**[08:32] Great Sage**
*Yes.*
**[08:33] Great Sage**
*It appears to be an Art
that discovers and eliminates*
**[08:36] Great Sage**
*foreign contaminants
by surrounding them with one's aura.*
**[08:41] Barack**
Please forgive this fool for falling so
easily into the hands of an evil being.
**[08:46] Chiffon**
Dear...
**[08:48] Barack**
Chiffon, take my hand.
**[08:57] Chiffon**
So you couldn't tell us before
because we were under his Charm?
**[09:01] Barack**
I do wish you had told us earlier.
**[09:04] Aslan**
I couldn't until I had proof.
**[09:06] Barack**
Then you have conclusive proof now?
**[09:09] Aslan**
Carl has apprehended
the merchant who, evidently,
**[09:12] Aslan**
sold Zeinblood to Gustav.
**[09:14] Aslan**
With his testimony...
**[09:17] Aslan**
Rimuru, thank you again.
**[09:20] Aslan**
With your medicine,
Zenobia should escape becoming a vampire.
**[09:25] Barack**
So the princess didn't turn
into a vampire, at least?
**[09:29] Barack**
Crown Prince Souther always
did adore his baby sister.
**[09:33] Aslan**
That's what I want to believe.
**[09:35] Aslan**
In any case, our first priority is
to take out that traitor Gustav.
**[09:39] Barack**
I, Barack, am eager to lend my strength,
meager though it may be.
**[09:44] Aslan**
I expect nothing less.
**[09:46] Aslan**
We'll march on the palace
as soon as preparations are complete.
**[09:49] Aslan**
We will strike down Gustav
and rescue Zenobia.
**[10:01] Rimuru**
*What is this chill I feel?!*
***SIGN*** Notice
**[10:03] Great Sage**
*Notice.*
**[10:04] Great Sage**
*You are reacting to an
overwhelming amount of energy.*
***SIGN*** You are reacting to an
overwhelming amount of energy.
**[10:07] Great Sage**
*It is less than that of Charybdis,*
**[10:09] Great Sage**
*but comparable to that of the Orc Disaster.*
**[10:11] Great Sage**
*It is best to avoid fighting it alone.*
***SIGN*** It is best to avoid fighting it alone.
**[10:14] Rimuru**
*Can we look into it a bit?*
**[10:16] Great Sage**
*Notice.*
***SIGN*** Notice
**[10:17] Great Sage**
*If you attempt to use Appraisal here,*
***SIGN*** If you attempt to use Appraisal here, there is a greater than 80% chance your presence will be discovered.
**[10:19] Great Sage**
*there is a greater than 80% chance
your presence will be discovered.*
**[10:23] Great Sage**
*Proceed?*
***SIGN*** Proceed?
**[10:24] Rimuru**
*No, obviously!*
**[10:26] Rimuru**
*Quietly...*
**[10:28] Rimuru**
*Quietly... Quietly...*
**[10:31] Rimuru**
*Sneak, sneak, sneak!*
**[10:32] Souther**
Oh, Zenobia!
**[10:34] Souther**
Aslan was making you suffer so,
and I could do nothing!
**[10:38] Souther**
Please forgive your useless big brother.
**[10:41] Zenobia**
No, Elder Brother.
**[10:43] Zenobia**
You have done nothing wrong.
**[10:46] Rimuru**
*Elder Brother? So that's Souther?*
**[10:49] Zenobia**
And we can't be certain
Brother Aslan is to blame...
**[10:53] Souther**
No, it's obvious that he is!
**[10:56] Souther**
Gustav told me that he got
the guild on his side
**[10:59] Souther**
to stop your medicine
from entering the kingdom!
**[11:02] Souther**
You don't need to worry about a thing.
**[11:04] Souther**
Just get some rest for today.
**[11:07] Zenobia**
All right. I apologize for worrying you.
**[11:10] Souther**
Not at all.
**[11:12] Rimuru**
*This doesn't look like what I'd heard...*
**[11:23] Rimuru**
* So he was suppressing his*
* aura in front of his sister?*
**[11:30] Souther**
Now that Zenobia has recovered,
we needn't hold back.
**[11:33] Souther**
Get rid of Aslan and all
those who support him.
**[11:36] Subordinate**
Yes, Highness.
**[11:38] Rimuru**
*It's all-out war between the Aslan faction
and the Souther faction?*
**[11:42] Rimuru**
*Isn't Souther the one who's
been making Zenobia suffer?*
**[11:45] Zenobia**
And who might you be?
**[11:47] Rimuru**
Huh?!
**[11:52] Zenobia**
Oh, are you the one
who visited me earlier today?
**[11:55] Zenobia**
Was it... Great Rimu—
**[11:56] Rimuru**
No!
**[11:57] Zenobia**
Oh? Then what is your name?
**[12:00] Rimuru**
Huh?!
**[12:01] Rimuru**
Uh, it's... Satoru.
**[12:05] Zenobia**
Oh, really?
**[12:06] Zenobia**
Your name is Satoru?
**[12:08] Rimuru**
Y-Yes.
**[12:12] Rimuru**
*She doesn't believe me?*
**[12:14] Rimuru**
*All right, then...*
**[12:16] Zenobia**
My, you look adorable in that form, too!
**[12:20] Rimuru**
Huh?!
**[12:21] Rimuru**
Um, I'm a slime, you see...
**[12:23] Rimuru**
And I, uh, don't know anything
about this Rimuru person...
**[12:26] Zenobia**
You seem like such a kind, old gentleman.
**[12:28] Zenobia**
I'll leave it at that.
**[12:31] Zenobia**
In return, would you listen to my wish?
**[12:33] Rimuru**
*I don't get why she has to
call me "old," but...*
**[12:35] Rimuru**
Your wish? What is it?
**[12:38] Zenobia**
I lost my eyesight,
**[12:41] Zenobia**
but in its place,
**[12:42] Zenobia**
I gained the power to see
the shapes of people's souls.
**[12:46] Zenobia**
Elder Brother Souther and Brother Aslan
**[12:49] Zenobia**
are like young boys crying out in anguish.
**[12:52] Zenobia**
They're both very kind men.
**[12:55] Rimuru**
Are they?
**[12:56] Rimuru**
*If that's true,*
**[12:58] Rimuru**
*it's hard to believe either of them
is the bad guy here.*
**[13:00] Zenobia**
Compared to them,
**[13:02] Zenobia**
Court Physician Gustav is terrifying.
**[13:05] Zenobia**
Like a muddy, faint purple darkness.
**[13:09] Great Sage**
*Notice.*
**[13:10] Great Sage**
*Her power is the unique skill Wisher.*
**[13:12] Great Sage**
*It allows her to see the shapes of souls,*
**[13:14] Great Sage**
*or in other words, people's true nature.*
**[13:17] Rimuru**
*Huh...*
**[13:18] Rimuru**
*So when she said "old gentleman,"*
**[13:20] Rimuru**
*it was because she saw what
I looked like in my previous life?*
**[13:23] Rimuru**
Then, shouldn't you...
**[13:24] Zenobia**
I can't.
**[13:26] Zenobia**
If I said such a thing,
it would put my brothers in danger.
**[13:30] Rimuru**
You mean...
**[13:32] Zenobia**
My father, the king,
**[13:34] Zenobia**
has not come to visit me
once since I fell ill.
**[13:38] Zenobia**
He has never cared
for the well-being of anyone but himself.
**[13:43] Zenobia**
And Court Physician Gustav
is my father's trusted friend.
**[13:47] Rimuru**
So you think Gustav
is acting on the king's orders?
**[13:51] Zenobia**
Yes.
**[13:53] Zenobia**
Hide! And conceal your presence!
**[13:56] Rimuru**
Huh? O-Okay!
**[14:13] Great Sage**
*Notice.*
**[14:14] Great Sage**
*This is illusion magic, Sleep Down.*
**[14:16] Great Sage**
*It only puts the target to sleep,*
**[14:19] Great Sage**
*so there appears to be no intent to kill.*
**[14:23] Gustav**
Her full recovery now would be premature.
**[14:26] Gustav**
For his sake, as well,
I must further refine her soul.
**[14:31] Zenobia**
*Don't!*
**[14:32] Rimuru**
Eh?!
**[14:33] Gustav**
Hm? Did something just...
**[14:36] Gustav**
No, I must have imagined it.
**[14:38] Rimuru**
*He picked up on my presence?*
**[14:40] Rimuru**
*This Gustav guy might be
stronger than I thought.*
**[14:43] Zenobia**
*He is.*
**[14:45] Zenobia**
*And Elder Brother's strength
was likely given to him by this man.*
**[14:50] Rimuru**
*So Aslan's guess was right?*
**[14:52] Zenobia**
*Which is why I want you
to save my brothers from him.*
**[14:57] Rimuru**
*That's asking a lot.*
**[14:59] Rimuru**
*I don't think I'm obligated to go that far.*
**[15:06] Rimuru**
*Are these images...*
**[15:12] Rimuru**
*Zenobia's...*
**[15:17] Rimuru**
*I can't do that.*
**[15:19] Zenobia**
*I see...*
**[15:20] Rimuru**
*If I'm saving anyone,
it's gotta include you, too!*
**[15:24] Zenobia**
*Oh!*
**[15:25] Rimuru**
*I promise I'll do all I can.*
**[15:28] Zenobia**
*You truly are a kind, old gentleman.*
**[15:38] Gustav**
I'll get that little girl, as well...
and make a living sacrifice of her.
**[15:46] Rimuru**
*Little girl?*
**[15:47] Rimuru**
*Wait, does he mean me?*
**[15:52] Benimaru**
And what does this Gustav get out of
**[15:55] Benimaru**
making Aslan and Souther fight each other?
**[15:58] Rimuru**
Princess Zenobia seems to think
he's under orders from the king...
**[16:03] Rimuru**
But what's important is stopping
the battle between the princes.
**[16:06] Benimaru**
So when do we make our move?
**[16:09] Rimuru**
Good question...
**[16:10] Great Sage**
*Notice.*
***SIGN*** Notice
**[16:11] Great Sage**
*I predict that something
will happen tomorrow.*
***SIGN*** I predict that something will happen tomorrow.
**[16:14] Rimuru**
*Tomorrow? That soon?*
**[16:15] Great Sage**
*Yes.*
**[16:16] Great Sage**
*The individual named Gustav placed
a curse on Princess Zenobia.*
**[16:20] Great Sage**
*He intends to blame her
resulting poor health...*
**[16:22] Rimuru**
*...on me, huh?*
**[16:24] Great Sage**
*Yes.*
**[16:25] Great Sage**
*After that, even if the true
culprit is brought forward,*
**[16:28] Great Sage**
*he will likely cook up a bogus
liability issue against Marquis Amadi.*
**[16:31] Rimuru**
*And when the Aslan faction
reacts in opposition to that,*
**[16:34] Rimuru**
*the Souther faction will be ready
and waiting to round them up.*
**[16:39] Rimuru**
Tomorrow.
**[16:41] Rimuru**
Benimaru, I want you to stop
Prince Aslan from making a move.
**[16:44] Benimaru**
Leave it to me.
**[16:46] Rimuru**
Soei, I want you to keep
an eye on Barack-san.
**[16:49] Rimuru**
I hope he'll follow my advice,
but if he doesn't, stop him by force.
**[16:53] Soei**
Understood.
**[16:55] Rimuru**
Ranga, you guard Marquis Amadi's household.
**[16:57] Rimuru**
Make sure his wife and everyone
else living there are safe from harm.
**[17:01] Ranga**
Got it! Leave it to me!
**[17:03] Benimaru**
And what will you do, Great Rimuru?
**[17:06] Rimuru**
Me?
**[17:07] Rimuru**
I've got some business to attend to.
**[17:13] Luminous**
What's going on?
**[17:16] Luminous**
Of all people, how did
that one get involved in this?
**[17:19] Luminous**
What a headache.
**[17:21] Luminous**
Leaving things alone to assure nothing
unexpected happens might be wise,
**[17:25] Luminous**
but the very fact that I've come
this far might be the key to all this.
**[17:31] Luminous**
I suppose I'll keep an eye on things...
**[17:34] Luminous**
but if anyone tries
to place the blame on us,
**[17:37] Luminous**
depending on where things stand,
I'll see that they're punished.
**[17:44] Barack**
Court Physician,
what is the meaning of this?!
**[17:47] Gustav**
The strange medicine this girl brought here
**[17:50] Gustav**
is the reason our princess is still asleep!
**[17:53] Gustav**
Oh, how heartbreaking it is!
**[17:55] Gustav**
How do you intend to take
responsibility for this?!
**[18:07] Rimuru**
Okay.
**[18:08] Rimuru**
Now I have an alibi.
**[18:14] Rimuru**
Goodnight.
**[18:19] Zenobia**
*Oh! You really came!*
**[18:22] Rimuru**
*Of course. I promised, didn't I?*
**[18:33] Rimuru**
*Okay!*
**[18:40] Maid A**
Wha... Intruder!
**[18:43] Maid B**
You're not an assassin targeting
the princess, are you?!
**[18:44] Satoru**
Arcane Thread Fetters!
**[18:49] Satoru**
Now, I'll be taking the princess.
**[18:51] Maid A**
S-Stop!
**[18:52] Maid B**
Insolence! Who do you think you are?!
**[18:56] Satoru**
Just as there is no thief
who would stop when told to stop,
**[18:58] Satoru**
what intruder would answer
when asked who he is?
**[19:01] Satoru**
But since I'm such a
nice guy, I'll tell you.
**[19:04] Satoru**
I'm the Great Phantom Thief Ri—
**[19:07] Satoru**
Satoru!
**[19:08] Maid A**
Risatoru?
**[19:09] Satoru**
No! It's Satoru!
**[19:11] Satoru**
Great Phantom Thief Satoru!
**[19:12] Satoru**
Try not to get it wrong, okay?! Bye now!
**[19:18] Zenobia**
*Um, what did you mean
by "Great Phantom Thief"?*
**[19:21] Satoru**
I just went with the flow.
**[19:22] Zenobia**
*A-Ah...*
**[19:24] Zenobia**
*But would it not have been
wiser to remain silent?*
**[19:28] Satoru**
Of course not!
**[19:30] Satoru**
I gave false information
for them to spread around.
**[19:37] Guy**
Ready?
**[19:38] Guy**
All right.
**[19:45] Barack**
Looks like everyone's here.
**[19:47] Aslan**
Yeah. Let's go!
**[19:49] All**
Yeah!
**[19:55] Adventurer A**
Who the hell are you?
**[19:57] Paulo**
Yo! You're not here
to get in our way, are you?
**[19:59] Paulo**
You'll regret underestimating us!
**[20:03] Paulo**
I dunno who you are, but I,
**[20:06] Paulo**
formerly the Bare-Handed, and now
the Staff Master Paulo, will take you on!
**[20:10] Paulo**
If you value your life, shut up and—
**[20:21] Benimaru**
Did we go too far?
**[20:22] Soei**
Well, he did say insulting
things about our general.
**[20:25] Soei**
I just punished him a little.
**[20:27] Benimaru**
I see.
**[20:28] Benimaru**
No complaints from me, then.
**[20:29] Adventurer A**
You guys have some nerve!
**[20:31] Adventurer B**
Yo!
**[20:32] Adventurer B**
Don't get cocky just 'cause you beat Paulo!
**[20:35] Aslan**
Stop it, you two.
**[20:38] Barack**
The two of you can't beat them.
**[20:41] Aslan**
I assume you're assassins sent
by that traitor Gustav,
**[20:44] Aslan**
but if you interfere, I'll show no mercy.
**[20:45] Benimaru**
We aren't assassins,
but we will interfere in your plans.
**[20:48] Aslan**
Well, I have things to do, so...
**[20:50] Aslan**
Sorry, but I don't have time
to play with you guys!
**[20:57] Barack**
You're the one who's been keeping
watch around my house, aren't you?
**[21:01] Soei**
Oh? You noticed me?
**[21:04] Barack**
You admit it?!
**[21:14] Adventurer A**
W-Wow...
**[21:16] Adventurer B**
There's not even room for us to jump in.
**[21:18] Adventurer C**
That guy's strong!
**[21:19] Adventurer D**
So's the other guy!
**[21:20] Adventurer D**
He's fighting the unrivaled
Barack on even footing!
**[21:28] Benimaru**
*He's better than I expected.*
**[21:30] Benimaru**
*I wanted to finish this
before the general showed up,*
**[21:32] Benimaru**
*but a sword alone might not be enough.*
**[21:37] Benimaru**
*I'd heard about him from Soei,*
**[21:39] Benimaru**
*but I guess his strength truly
is the real deal.*
**[21:41] Benimaru**
*I'm more annoyed that Soei
was measuring* my *strength.
**[21:46] Aslan**
What's so funny?
**[21:48] Benimaru**
Nothing. Just happy to see
that you're so strong.
**[21:51] Aslan**
Shut up!
**[22:01] Soei**
You are indeed strong,
but you're no match for me.
**[22:04] Barack**
Wh-What are you talking about?!
**[22:06] Barack**
You're wounded all over!
**[22:13] Barack**
Wha—
**[22:15] Soei**
I specialize in body doubles.
**[22:17] Soei**
I normally fight opponents
using several of them,
**[22:21] Soei**
but out of respect for you,
I'll fight you one-on-one.
**[22:27] Barack**
You coward...
**[22:31] Barack**
I've... lost.
**[22:37] Benimaru**
Your buddy just surrendered.
**[22:39] Benimaru**
So what'll it be?
**[22:43] Aslan**
Our fight is just getting started!
**[22:49] Satoru**
Benimaru! Soei!
**[22:51] Satoru**
I'm here!
**[24:25] Great Sage**
*Next time, "Purple and Roses."*
