[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.

    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.

     Are You Kidding Me?

SIGN    The 8th Son?
     Are You Kidding Me?
[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.
