[00:05] Klaus
Pardon me.
[00:07] Klaus
Here is the report on this
year's tax collection.
[00:13] Artur
I've entrusted that matter entirely to Kurt.
[00:17] Klaus
Understood.
[00:18] Karl
Father!
[00:22] Kurt
Oh, how are you doing, Karl?
[00:25] Amalie
Darling, you have a visitor at the mansion.
[00:28] Kurt
Oh? That's rare here in the countryside.
[00:32] Amalie
Um...
[00:33] Amalie
They said they wished to
speak to you about Wendelin.
[00:39] Adventurer
This is from Head Auditor
Ruckner in the capital.
[00:43] Kurt
Lord Commissioner Ruckner's
younger brother, then?
[00:46] Kurt
I bet it's just another request to join
the family that Wendelin is part of, right?
[00:50] Kurt
Listen, I don't care how famous
that boy becomes in the capital.
[00:54] Kurt
It has nothing to do with us out here!
[00:56] Kurt
I wish these trifling requests would
stop coming to me, the family heir.
[00:59] Amalie
Oh, no!
[01:01] Kurt
What's the matter, Amalie?
[01:03] Amalie
This says that Wendelin has passed
away while exploring ancient ruins.
[01:13] Well
After three years of harsh
training with that magician,
[01:16] Well
I'm finally an adult.
[01:18] Well
At last, I can make my debut as an adventurer!
[01:22] Well
Do I look good, Master?
[01:29] Er
Registering as adventurers
sure was easy, huh?
[01:33] Louise
The people at the guild were all business.
[01:36] Iina
But according to this,
[01:38] Iina
we'll be hunting in the local
area for a while at first,
[01:40] Iina
so it's not worth celebrating much.
SIGN Adventurer's
Manual
[01:49] Elise
You seem happy, Wendelin.
[01:51] Well
Our days as adventurers
are just getting started!
[01:54] Well
Up until now, I've been hogtied
by the obligations of nobility,
[01:58] Well
but starting today,
things will be different!
[02:00] Well
No one can steal my freedom anymore!
[02:03] Brantag
Sorry to interrupt the celebration.
[02:06] Well
Brantag?
[02:08] Brantag
Your new party has received a request
to explore some ancient ruins.
[02:13] Well
Ancient ruins?
SIGN Mandatory Quest From the King
SIGN To the Dragon Busters
SIGN we hereby order you to undertake the following quest
[02:15] Well
A mandatory quest from the king?
[02:18] Brantag
You can't turn it down, of course.
[02:20] Well
Huh? Nothing has changed at all.

[03:56] Er
Um, our new party advisor is supposed
to be an active adventurer, right?
SIGN Episode 8
Presumed Dead? Are You Kidding Me?!
[04:02] Er
But you're...
[04:04] Brantag
My lord's ordered my
temporary return to action.
[04:08] Iina
Well, we couldn't ask for a better advisor.
[04:15] Brantag
My lord doesn't want you all to die, after all.
[04:20] Well
Are these ruins that dangerous?
[04:25] Brantag
Three years ago, was it?
[04:26] Brantag
These ruins were discovered
after we defeated Greigorland.
[04:30] Brantag
There was an entrance to
something underground,
[04:32] Brantag
and the adventurer's guild
sent several people into it.
[04:36] Louise
But they never came back?
[04:38] Brantag
Exactly.
[04:40] Brantag
So then the guild sent some experienced
adventurers to follow up...
[04:46] Louise
But they never came back.
[04:54] Brantag
That's when the guild realized
[04:56] Brantag
that if these underground ruins
could take down such veterans...
[05:00] Elise
Then there's probably a dragon?
[05:02] Brantag
Correct.
[05:04] Brantag
And that's why you were given this quest.
[05:07] Well
What about that makes it a valid reason?
[05:10] Brantag
Think about it. What did you guys call
yourselves when you registered?
[05:15] Five
The Dragon Busters.
[05:18] Brantag
Get it now?
[05:26] Well
There's nothing here.
[05:27] Well
Anyway, is a party supposed to act like this?
[05:31] Er
We can't help it!
[05:33] Er
If a dragon breathes on us out of nowhere,
[05:34] Er
we'll all be reduced to ash in an instant!
[05:36] Er
We'll be burned to ash on our first quest!
[05:38] Louise
Please be our shield, Sir Magic Barrier!
[05:45] Brantag
Doesn't look like you have to worry
about turning to ash, at least.
[05:48] Brantag
I cast my detection spell, but I'm not
even sensing any weak enemies.
[05:52] Louise
Over there! A door!
[05:57] Brantag
Let's go.
[06:09] Er
All right, nothing here, either.
[06:16] Elise
Doesn't that seem odd, though?
[06:19] Iina
Where are the adventurers
who never returned?
[06:22] Brantag
It can't be...
[06:23] Brantag
Get out of this room at once! Hurry!
[06:32] Louise
Huh? What is this?
[06:34] Louise
My feet are stuck to the floor! I can't move!
[06:36] Brantag
Tsk! It's a trap left by the
ancient magic civilization.
[06:39] Brantag
Listen up, everyone! Be prepared
for battle at any moment!
[06:42] Brantag
Even I don't know what's going to—
[06:44] Well
Brantag!
[06:51] Well
No way...
[06:53] Elise
Wendelin!
[06:54] Well
Elise!
[06:57] Elise
W-Wendelin...
SIGN Welcome to Reverse Hanging
[07:18] Well
"Welcome to Reverse Hanging"...
[07:21] Well
What is this?
[07:23] Brantag
That was a trap from the
ancient magic civilization.
[07:26] ---
It uses magic circles to teleport
victims down to the bottom floor,
[07:29] Brantag
forcing them to make their way back to
the surface if they want to survive.
[07:32] Brantag
I'd only ever read about it, myself.
[07:35] Louise
Reach the surface from the bottom floor?
[07:37] Louise
That's easy, right, Well?
[07:39] Well
Huh?
[07:40] Louise
Show us that te-le-port-ing!
[07:47] Brantag
Tell them.
[07:49] Well
Uh, in order to use teleportation,
[07:52] ---
I need complete awareness
of where I'm teleporting to,
[07:54] ---
as well as where I currently am.
[07:58] Well
But I don't know where we are right now, so...
[08:00] Well
Oh, Elise, you're awake.
[08:03] Well
Are you all right?
[08:04] Elise
I'm sorry for worrying you.
[08:06] Iina
Now we're all safely together.
[08:09] Louise
That's a good thing,
[08:11] Louise
but you're telling us you
can't use teleportation here?!
[08:13] Louise
Then what are we supposed to do?
[08:16] Well
We climb up normally?
[08:19] Iina
Whoever built these ruins...
[08:21] Louise
...was an awful person.
[08:40] Brantag
So, I wonder what's lying
in wait for us here.
[08:57] Well
Let's go.
[09:06] Iina
Whoever built these ruins...
[09:08] Louise
...was deranged.
[09:13] Well
Nowhere to run, huh?
[09:19] Brantag
Tsk! Looks like they're waking up, too.
[09:22] Well
Everyone, step back! I'll use magic to—
[09:24] Er
You should be the one to step back, Well.
[09:26] Iina
We have no idea how many more
floors we'll have to climb up,
[09:30] Iina
so you should hold off on any major
spells and conserve your magic.
[09:33] Louise
As long as it's not dragon's breath,
we can hold our own.
[09:36] Well
All of you...
[09:37] Er
It's finally time to show off
the fruits of my training!
[09:55] Elise
Wow...
[09:59] Well
A wall of wind?
[10:01] Brantag
Boy! You and I should support them by using
wind magic to limit the golems' movement,
[10:06] ---
and keep them from surrounding
the three on the front lines!
[10:08] Well
Roger that!
[10:09] Brantag
Young Elise, you stay back in the rear
and focus on healing their injuries!
[10:15] Elise
Understood.
[10:17] Brantag
All of you, remember to avoid wasting stamina
and magic needed for the long battles to come!
[10:22] Brantag
Now, let's get through this!
[10:24] ---
Right!
[10:31] Iina
Their formation crumbled after we
defeated the mounted golem leading them!
[10:35] ---
Now's our chance!
[10:36] Louise
Okay!
[10:37] Louise
It's my first time using this in actual battle,
[10:40] Louise
but I can test it out plenty here!
[10:42] Louise
Here's the result of my
training with that magician!
[10:44] Louise
Magic Shock Wave!
[10:54] Er
It's over.
[10:56] Brantag
Everyone okay?
[10:57] Louise
Somehow.
[11:00] Iina
I'm fine, too—
[11:03] Well
What is it? Bugs?
[11:05] Iina
That's...
[11:06] Brantag
The adventurers who failed
to explore this place, huh?
[11:11] Louise
Quiet!
[11:20] Louise
There are Golems above us!
[11:22] Er
They're not giving us any time to rest.
[11:24] Louise
Hurry!
[11:25] Brantag
Let's go!
[11:29] Well
How long is this going to go on?
[11:33] Brantag
Who knows?
[11:41] King
It's been five days.
[11:44] King
The irresponsible birds around the
palace are saying they're dead.
[11:49] Dran
If Baron Baumeister were to perish there...
[11:55] Behrens
It would serve those who
supported the Baron right.
[12:02] Behrens
Cardinal Hohenheim,
[12:04] Behrens
I heard the news about your
granddaughter and her fiancé.
[12:08] Behrens
You must be beside yourself with worry.
[12:09] Hohenheim
Not at all.
[12:11] Hohenheim
I'm certain they shall return alive.
[12:14] Hohenheim
Farewell.
[12:22] Ruckner
Cardinal Hohenheim.
[12:24] Hohenheim
Oh, Lord Commissioner Ruckner.
[12:31] Rukner
They're dead?
[12:32] Rukner
Who's spreading such a rumor?
[12:37] Rucker2
I imagine you must be fraught
with worry yourself.
[12:39] Adventurer
The day you become Lord
Commissioner is nigh, my lord.
[12:46] Rucker2
Listen. Next, you shall head to
the remote land in the south
[12:49] ---
and meet with the eldest brother, Kurt.
[12:51] Rucker2
Then I want you to encourage him to have
his sons succeed Baron Baumeister.
[12:56] Adventurer
As you wish.
[12:59] Ruckner2
You'd better be dead, Baron Baumeister.
[13:08] Well
Your food's so good, Elise!
[13:12] Well
Did you get enough sleep?
[13:14] Elise
Yes, about two hours just now.
[13:17] Well
Taking shifts eating and sleeping to recover
our stamina in response to these long battles...
[13:23] Well
It's a good strategy, but...
[13:29] Iina
Sorry for making you use your magic.
[13:32] Brantag
Nonsense.
[13:33] Brantag
When would I use it,
if not at times like this?
[13:35] Well
We can't keep this up forever.
[13:40] Elise
Now, Wendelin, you need to rest—
[13:54] Louise
It's because of that magician's training
that we're able to do this now, too.
[14:18] Er
Damn! How long is this going to go on?
[14:25] Well
I hope the next one's...
[14:37] Louise
Magic Shock Wave!
[14:42] Er
We might just die at this rate.
[14:49] Elise
Don't worry. That's not going to happen.
[14:53] Er
I suppose I can't die yet.
[14:56] Er
I haven't won a single match
against Warren yet.
[15:01] Er
If I died now, I'd regret it.
[15:08] Elise
Regret...
[15:28] Elise
Wendelin...
[15:31] Elise
Let's make sure we get home alive.
[15:35] Elise
Otherwise, I'll regret it.
[15:41] Well
Right.
[15:50] Louise
None here.
[15:53] Er
We did it!
[15:54] Er
It's over!
[15:57] Well
It's over now?
[16:11] Brantag
Get back!
[16:16] Brantag
This one's a dragon golem!
[16:19] Well
Right when we don't have much magic left!
[16:23] Louise
Iina!
[16:40] Elise
Iina, please hang in there!
[16:57] Elise
Don't worry. I promise I'll save Iina!
[17:04] Brantag
Things are just going to get worse if
we keep maintaining this magic barrier.
[17:11] Elise
How are you doing?
[17:13] Iina
Thanks. I'm fine now.
[17:15] Iina
Your healing magic really is a lifesaver.
[17:21] Well
Then we'll crush that dragon golem.
[17:24] Brantag
But that thing's body is
probably made of mythril.
[17:27] Brantag
Most magic spells won't even scratch—
[17:29] Well
If we concentrate all of our remaining
magic as much as possible...
[17:34] Brantag
I see. It's worth trying.
[17:39] Brantag
I'll bet all of my magic power on you.
[17:45] Well
Here we go!
[17:55] Well
Brantag!
[18:00] Brantag
You really are just like him, you know.
[18:09] Well
Brantag...
[18:17] Louise
Yes! Try harder, Well!
[18:19] Well
You shouldn't tell someone
who's trying hard to try harder!
[18:30] Iina
Well's magic power is all...
[18:35] Well
Sorry, everyone... I...
[18:40] Louise
Well...
[18:44] Iina
Elise?
[18:46] Elise
This is...
[18:49] Elise
This is a spell called Miracle's Light!
[18:56] Both
A kiss?!
[19:46] Er
Huh? It stopped?
[19:52] Er
Well!
[19:59] Louise
That healing spell she
just used, Miracle's Light...
[20:03] Iina
Fundamentally, it's a spell
to recover one's stamina,
[20:07] Iina
but I've heard it can recover
some degree of magical power, too.
[20:12] Louise
So do you have to kiss the person to use it?
[20:15] Iina
No way.
[20:16] Iina
The church wouldn't allow that, either.
[20:18] Louise
So you're saying she took advantage
of the chaos to kiss him?!
[20:22] Iina
Well, we very well might have died there,
[20:25] Iina
so I imagine she felt she'd regret it
if she didn't kiss the man she loves.
[20:30] Er
Hey, this is incredible!
[20:31] Er
Come here and have a look!
[20:33] Louise
Come on, we're totally exhausted right now.
[20:36] Louise
If this isn't really incredible,
[20:37] Louise
I'll use what strength I have
left to beat you black and blue!
[20:41] Er
Hurry up!
[20:42] Iina
Yes, yes, we're coming.
[20:44] Louise
Why are you so excited?
[20:47] Er
Just come over here!
[20:48] Iina
This had better be incredible!
[20:50] Er
It is!
[20:57] Brantag
Apparently, the mage from
the ancient magic civilization
[21:00] ---
who created that nasty underground
ruin was Count Ichelberg.
[21:05] Brantag
He was a leading creator of magic items.
[21:08] Well
But why would he create
something that elaborate?
[21:12] Brantag
He probably wanted to test people's talent,
[21:15] Brantag
to see if they would be worth
entrusting a legacy like that to.
[21:19] Well
Legacy?
[21:21] Louise
Well, come look at this! It's incredible!
[21:28] Louise
Look at that!
[21:30] Iina
They're the ancient airships that
form the core of our magic airships.
[21:33] Well
Wow...
[21:35] Louise
Brantag was saying that no one
has ever discovered so many at once!
[21:40] Er
That's not all, either.
