The Banished Former Hero Lives as He Pleases
Allen is banished from the Duchy of Westfeldt on account of his low level and lack of a god-given Gift, and all seems lost. But with his memories of a past life as a hero intact, Allen sees this twist of fate as a blessing—he can finally live his life as he pleases! That momentary peace is cut short when Allen saves his ex-fiancée, beginning a new saga for the banished former hero.

[00:00] narrator
Heroes.
[00:01] narrator
Those who lay waste to the unreasonable
[00:04] narrator
and repaint tragedy in new hues.
[00:07] narrator
However, an untimely end awaits every hero.
[00:11] narrator
They are betrayed by someone they trust
[00:14] narrator
or felled by an enemy's cunning trap.
[00:16] narrator
They meet such fates
possessed of too much power.
[00:20] narrator
People who fear their great strength
avoid and ostracize them,
[00:24] narrator
while the hero flirts with death
over and over.
[00:26] narrator
And yet, a certain hero
continued to save people...
[00:30] narrator
at the cost of his own heart.
[00:34] narrator
When at last the world was saved,
he prayed to the gods,

"The next time I am reborn..."

...lan! Alan!
[00:58] Bret
You're finally awake, you useless lump.
[01:00] Bret
Father is asking for you.
[01:02] Bret
Hurry up and get ready.
[01:06] Bret
You're no better than garbage,
yet you live so very comfortably.
[01:09] Bret
Honestly, Father is far too compassionate.
[01:13] Bret
Has he any idea how much I've suffered
having an older brother like you?
[01:17] Bret
Either way, it all ends today.
[01:20] Bret
The time has finally come!
[01:27] Craig
Alan, you were born into the ducal
House of Westfelt fifteen years ago.
[01:33] Craig
In all that time, your level has not
increased. You remain level 1.
[01:37] Craig
All of your stat values are ordinary.
[01:39] Craig
And worst of all, at the blessing
ceremony held the other day,
[01:43] Craig
you were granted no gift whatsoever.
[01:47] Craig
Every child in this world receives a gift
from the gods as a sign of their favor.
[01:53] Craig
To be denied one is utterly unprecedented.
[01:56] Craig
Even a fool like you
must understand, do you not?
[02:01] Alan
I do.
[02:03] Craig
As the heir to the Westfelt family,
you are more than a disappointment.
[02:08] Craig
You are a failure who sullies our
family name and brings shame upon it.
[02:12] Craig
As such, from today,
starting this very moment,
[02:16] Craig
the ducal House of Westfelt...
[02:20] Craig
casts you out!

[02:33] Alan
And with that, I'm officially free.
[02:35] Alan
I never dreamed I'd be reincarnated
as the son of such an awful duke.
[02:41] Alan
But now I can finally go find my way, can't I?
[02:46] Alan
I'll search out the peace I wanted
so badly in my previous life.
[02:55] Alan
I'll head for the borderlands on the
eastern edge of the Westfelt territory.
[03:01] Alan
I have no idea what it's like,
[03:04] Alan
but I'm sure no one will
meddle in my life there.
[03:07] Alan
I won't get caught up in any trouble.
[03:09] Alan
I can just live a nice, simple life.
[03:14] Alan
And unlike my last one...
[03:16] Alan
no one will be afraid of me.
[03:26] Alan
Welp, I've walked quite a ways.
[03:28] Alan
This oughta be a good place to...
[03:34] Alan
That looks like a rather dire situation.
[03:52] Béatrice
It's no use.
[03:53] Béatrice
I keep cutting them down,
but they regenerate!
[03:55] Béatrice
I've never heard of monsters like these.
[03:58] Béatrice
At this rate, they'll get to Lise-sama!
[04:00] Lise
Béatrice!
[04:04] Béatrice
Please flee, Lise-sama!
[04:07] Béatrice
I will hold these monsters at bay!
[04:09] Lise
I can't run away and leave you behind!
[04:12] Béatrice
You must survive and fulfill your duty!
[04:15] Alan
The first princess of the
Kingdom of Adoastella,
[04:19] Alan
Lise Adoastella...
[04:23] Alan
What's she doing in a place like this?
[04:28] (Flashback) noble A
Look, it's that failure
everyone is talking about.
[04:32] (Flashback) noble B
I see. His face looks just as
cowardly as the rumors say.
[04:35] (Flashback) noble A
Imagine that being the next heir
to a prominent ducal house of Adoastella.
[04:40] (Flashback) noble B
I'm sure Duke Craig must be beside himself.
[04:43] (Flashback) noble B
To lose his lady wife and be left with
that failure of a son as a reminder...
[04:48] (Flashback) young Lise
Apologize!
[04:54] (Flashback) young Lise
Alan-kun is... Alan-kun is
perfectly praiseworthy!
[04:57] (Flashback) young Lise
He isn't a failure!
[05:06] Alan
If possible, I wanted to avoid using my powers
from my last life in front of anyone.
[05:25] Alan
But...
[05:27] Alan
If someone who believed in
me is in trouble, then...
[05:42] Lise
Death is closing in right before my eyes,
[05:46] Lise
so why is he the only thing
filling my mind right now?
[05:51] Lise
Alan-kun!
[05:56] Alan
I must have imagined it.
[05:58] Alan
It felt like someone called my name just now.
[06:10] Lise
Alan-kun?
[06:14] Lise
Why are you here?
[06:19] Alan
We can discuss the details later!
[06:25] Alan
Code Akashic, Divine Eyes!
[06:30] Alan
Sorcerous life-forms. Clay wolves.
[06:33] Alan
As I thought, they appear to have cores.

So if I break those, we'll be done here.

Incredible.
[07:02] Lise
Béatrice! Béatrice, please hold on!
[07:06] Béatrice
I'm so sorry, Lise-sama...
[07:10] Béatrice
that I should fall in a place like this...
[07:16] Lise
Don't say that!
[07:19] Béatrice
I am in your debt, Alan-dono.
[07:23] Alan
Béatrice-san, right? It's been a while.
[07:25] Alan
Wait a moment. I'll heal your wounds for you.
[07:28] Béatrice
What are you talking about?
[07:31] Alan
Parallel Paradox,
[07:32] Alan
Magic: Healing Light.
[07:40] Béatrice
I don't believe it!
[07:41] Béatrice
Such wounds, gone without a trace?
[07:44] Lise
Even your armor has been restored.
[07:46] Lise
Alan, what is that power?
[07:49] Alan
Er, how should I put this...?
[07:52] Alan
It's not like I can just tell them,
"It's a power I inherited from my last life!"
[07:57] Béatrice
Could it be a gift of a rank
the church is unaware of?
[08:02] Lise
Yes, in that case,
this would all make sense.
[08:04] Alan
Huh? O-Oh, yeah!
[08:06] Alan
That's about the size of it.
[08:09] Alan
Be that as it may, you're the first princess.
[08:12] Alan
What are you doing out in the borderlands?
[08:17] Lise
The other day, I received
a divine revelation.
[08:20] Alan
A revelation?
[08:21] Alan
Oh, like a prophecy from the gods
that uses a person's gift, right?
[08:26] Lise
In truth, we weren't imparted
any precise information.
[08:31] Lise
But if we heed their words,
we can prevent misfortune.
[08:35] Béatrice
We were guided by the revelation
toward Kloom Village in the borderlands,
[08:40] Béatrice
but we suddenly found ourselves under attack.
[08:42] Béatrice
If not for you, I don't know
what would have become of us.
[08:46] Alan
I didn't do anything much.
[08:47] Lise
Now, why are you here, Alan-kun?
[08:51] Alan
Well... we shouldn't sit around
talking in a place like this.
[08:54] Alan
Why don't we continue this in the wagon?
[08:56] Lise
What? But the wagon is broken.
[08:59] Alan
Parallel Paradox, Magic: Healing Light.
[09:12] Lise
You were cast out?!
[09:14] Lise
How could the Westfelt family
treat you so cruelly?
[09:18] Alan
Well, now I'm traveling
to the borderlands like you two.
[09:23] Alan
But are you sure?
[09:25] Lise
About what?
[09:26] Alan
I mean, the power I used just now would be
extremely useful to the kingdom, wouldn't it?
[09:32] Alan
Are you sure about letting someone
like me wander free?
[09:35] Béatrice
It's true that if we think
of the kingdom's best interests,
[09:38] Béatrice
we should probably return you
to the House of Westfelt.
[09:42] Lise
No. I will put my friend before the kingdom.
[09:46] Lise
Although I'm sure that makes
me unfit as royalty.
[09:50] Lise
Even so, a country surviving
at the expense of someone's life...
[09:54] Lise
I think that's wrong.
[09:56] Alan
Lise...
[09:59] Alan
Thank you.
[10:00] Lise
You're quite welcome.

[10:09] Béatrice
This village is awfully quiet.
[10:12] Béatrice
Doesn't anyone live here?
[10:14] Lise
You don't suppose it's been attacked by
monsters and fallen into ruin, do you?
[10:17] Alan
I don't think so.
[10:19] Lise
What?
[10:20] Alan
I don't sense the presence of monsters
anywhere in the surrounding area.
[10:25] Béatrice
Come to think of it,
ever since you joined us on the way here,
[10:29] Béatrice
we haven't been attacked by monsters once.
[10:32] Lise
Perhaps they've all been
subdued by adventurers?
[10:35] Alan
Or they're afraid of something
and avoiding the village.
[10:40] Lise
Oh! Alan-kun, there are some
villagers over there.
[10:46] Béatrice
I see. So the villagers were
all gathered here.
[10:50] Lise
I wonder what's going on.
[10:52] village chief
Get out!
[10:56] village chief
I have nothing more to say to you!
[11:00] Akira
Ow, ow, ow...
[11:02] Akira
Come on. What am I supposed to do here?
[11:08] Lise
You must be the light that was spoken of...
[11:11] Lise
Akira-san!
[11:15] Akira
And you're... Who are you, again?
[11:19] Lise
Lise! Lise Adoastella!
[11:23] Lise
When you came to the royal capital,
[11:25] Lise
I showed you around the palace
and shared meals with you!
[11:28] Akira
Sorry, sorry. I'm just really bad
at remembering names.
[11:32] Lise
It sounded to me like you'd forgotten
my existence along with my name!
[11:38] Alan
So, it seems you two know each other.
[11:40] Alan
But what's this "light"
you were talking about?
[11:45] Béatrice
Alan-dono, have you heard
of a gift called Braver?
[11:49] Alan
Braver?
[11:50] Béatrice
It's a special gift bestowed upon
but one person in a generation.
[11:54] Béatrice
It grants the power of a thousand warriors.
It's the strongest gift.
[11:57] Béatrice
The bearer is, in other words, a hero.
[12:00] Lise
This is Akira Kazaragi.
She's the current hero.
[12:04] Béatrice
And Lise-sama's revelation
this time proclaimed,
[12:07] Béatrice
"Become a guide for the light
and clear away the darkness."
[12:10] Alan
Which basically means
you need to save the hero, right?
[12:18] Akira
I'm starving.
[12:22] Alan
Hunting down a dragon?
[12:24] Akira
I'm just traveling, wandering
around wherever, you know?
[12:30] Akira
But while passing close to this village,
[12:33] Akira
I happened to run into a kid.
[12:36] Akira
She said she was nearly given to the dragon
who'd settled in the mountains as a sacrifice.
[12:41] Akira
Apparently, she'd run away.
[12:43] Akira
So I came to get the details
from the village chief.
[12:46] Akira
As you saw, he didn't want to talk
and told me to keep out of it.
[12:53] Lise
Then the villagers were threatened by the
dragon and forced to offer a sacrifice?
[12:57] Alan
No, I don't think that's it.
[12:59] Lise
What?
[13:00] Béatrice
You can't mean...
[13:01] Alan
I think that this village means
to offer a sacrifice to the dragon
[13:04] Alan
in order to receive its protection.
[13:07] Alan
For a small village like this, monster
attacks are a matter of life and death.
[13:12] Béatrice
That's why there's an unnatural lack
of monsters in the area!
[13:17] Alan
The monsters are scared of the dragon,
so they don't come near.
[13:20] Akira
Based on the chief's reaction just now,
that would check out.
[13:24] Akira
Well, guardian dragons and sacrifices are
things you hear about a lot, right?
[13:29] Lise
Akira-san, where is the child who
was offered up as a sacrifice?
[13:34] Akira
I've got her hiding in a cave nearby
until things are sorted out.
[13:37] Akira
If I'd brought her here, who knows
what the villagers might have done?
[13:41] Akira
Now then...
[13:43] Akira
We've filled our bellies,
[13:45] Akira
and there's nothing left to do in this town.
[13:47] Akira
I guess I'll go defeat the dragon.
[13:49] Akira
If you want to tag along, suit yourselves.
[13:53] Alan
There's one thing I'd like to ask.
[13:55] Alan
The people of this village might not
want to be freed from the dragon.
[14:00] Alan
You'd go defeat it in spite of that?
[14:04] Akira
That kid wanted me to save her.
[14:08] Akira
So I will.
[14:09] Akira
That's all.
[14:12] Lise
I'll go with her.
[14:15] Lise
Since I received a revelation... No.
[14:18] Lise
I'm going because I want to.
[14:20] Lise
I promise I won't be a hindrance.
[14:22] Béatrice
You heard her. We'll be joining
Akira-dono in defeating the dragon.
[14:28] Béatrice
Thank you for accompanying us this far.
[14:30] Alan
No, I'm going too.
[14:32] Lise
But what about your own journey, Alan-kun?
[14:34] Alan
Running off to enjoy peace and quiet
while my friends are in danger?
[14:39] Alan
I'm not that shameless, you know?
[14:42] Lise
Alan-kun...
[14:47] Lise
So this is the mountain
where the dragon lives...
[14:50] Akira
Okay, let's have a strategy meeting.
[14:53] Akira
I'll head for the peak on the
mountain road in the front.
[14:56] Akira
The rest of you will use a side road
to circle around the back.
[14:59] Akira
We'll pincer the dragon.
[15:01] Lise
You'll take the front alone, Akira-san?
[15:04] Akira
What? Don't think I can win?
[15:06] Lise
No, that isn't what I meant!
[15:09] Alan
Wouldn't it be better
for me to take the front?
[15:12] Akira
No. I refuse.
[15:13] Alan
Huh?
[15:14] Akira
I mean, if I leave that to you,
[15:16] Akira
I get the feeling you'd
clean house all by yourself.
[15:19] Alan
I think you're overestimating me.
[15:21] Akira
No. I can tell.
[15:24] Akira
You're not ordinary, are you?
[15:30] Akira
I'd like to try sparring with you,
but defeating the dragon comes first.
[15:35] Akira
Once we've taken care of that,
go a round or two with me.
[15:38] Alan
All right.
[15:39] Akira
Then I'll go on ahead!
[15:42] Akira
Hurry up and get to the top.
[15:43] Akira
If you don't, I'll crush
the thing all on my own.
[15:48] Béatrice
Given her enthusiasm, she really seems
like she might defeat it on her own.
[15:52] Alan
Well, shall we get going too?
[15:54] Lise
Yes.
[16:01] Alan
Are you all right?
[16:02] Lise
Thank you, Alan-kun!
[16:04] Lise
But I'm fine!
[16:05] Lise
Despite appearances, I have something
of an interest in self-defense.
[16:09] Alan
Just don't push yourself.
[16:10] Lise
I won't!
[16:11] Béatrice
This may be the borderlands, but still,
[16:14] Béatrice
for the Westfelts who pride themselves
on their military strength,
[16:18] Béatrice
to not have noticed a dragon is just...
[16:21] Lise
They've always been aggressive
about getting rid of monsters.
[16:26] Alan
I think they probably do know.
[16:28] Lise; Béatrice
What?
[16:30] Alan
This area may be remote,
[16:33] Alan
but for a dragon that
can fly through the skies...
[16:36] Alan
the Westfelts are practically
right in front of it.
[16:39] Alan
They would never let
such a dangerous situation stand.
[16:43] Lise
Then, if they know, why simply let it be?
[16:46] Alan
I suspect my former family
and this dragon are connected.
[16:51] Alan
Kloom Village was probably built
for the purpose of offering up a sacrifice.
[16:56] Béatrice
The House of Westfelt is borrowing
the power of a dragon
[16:59] Béatrice
to maintain peace in the borderlands.
[17:02] Béatrice
Is that what you're saying?
[17:03] Alan
It's just a guess based on the situation.
[17:06] Alan
The actual terms of the
agreement are likely...
[17:18] Akira
Attacking so suddenly...
[17:20] Akira
At least let me introduce myself.
[17:25] Akira
Strike, Lightning Sovereign!
[17:37] Red Dragon King
What's wrong, little human?
[17:39] Red Dragon King
Have you come here to play?
[17:42] Akira
That's some arrogant
condescension right there.
[17:45] Akira
Fine. If that's how you want to roll,
I won't hold back either.
[17:49] Akira
First, I'll drag you down from there!
[17:52] Red Dragon King
Are you sure?
[17:54] Red Dragon King
That one will get caught in the fight.
[18:01] Sara
Hero, please save me...
[18:05] Akira
You dirty little...
[18:07] Akira
What's the meaning of this?!
[18:10] Red Dragon King
You still don't understand?
[18:12] Red Dragon King
It's obvious, isn't it?
I let her go on purpose.
[18:16] Akira
You what?
[18:17] Red Dragon King
For what reason do you
suppose I desire sacrifices?
[18:21] Red Dragon King
It isn't that I wish to devour humans.
[18:24] Red Dragon King
I simply want to see your
faces steeped in despair.
[18:28] Red Dragon King
I am long-lived, and this serves
as the perfect way to kill time.
[18:34] Red Dragon King
I watched from here to see what might
happen if I let a sacrifice escape.
[18:40] Red Dragon King
I never imagined that it would lead
to such delightful entertainment.
[18:43] Red Dragon King
You vowing to defeat me like that...
I nearly split my sides laughing.
[18:48] Akira
This piece of trash...
[18:55] Akira
Braver, Azure Lightning of Destruction...
[18:58] Akira
Final Strike!
[19:05] Akira
Repent in the world beyond,
you piece of garbage!
[19:10] Red Dragon King
Well?
[19:13] Red Dragon King
I took the hit. Don't tell me
that was you being serious.
[19:17] Akira
Impossible...
[19:22] Red Dragon King
You aren't all bluster, are you?
[19:24] Red Dragon King
Calling yourself a hero with
those sword skills is laughable.
[19:28] Akira
I knew there was a difference
in our strength,
[19:30] Akira
but not this great.
[19:34] Red Dragon King
You didn't do much to relieve my boredom,
[19:37] Red Dragon King
but that's enough now.
[19:41] Akira
I can't even lift a finger.
[19:44] Red Dragon King
Die.
[19:53] Alan
I wasn't waiting for the right
moment or anything.
[19:57] Akira
You...
[19:59] Alan
But I guess it plays out the same either way.
[20:02] Béatrice
Akira-dono!
[20:03] Lise
Akira!
[20:05] Lise
Please, hold on!
[20:07] Alan
Now, you were saying some
pretty arrogant things.
[20:10] Alan
But of course, you aren't all bluster,
aren't you?
[20:16] Alan
Sorry, Lise. Take care of Akira for me.
[20:19] Alan
Béatrice-san, you take the girl.
[20:20] Lise
I will!
[20:21] Béatrice
Understood!
[20:22] Alan
World End...
[20:24] Alan
Killing Fiend's Longsword!
[20:32] Red Dragon King
How?!
[20:33] Red Dragon King
How are you able to wound me?
[20:36] Red Dragon King
And with a dull blade like that?
[20:38] Alan
Now that's just rude.
[20:40] Alan
I mean, it isn't a famous named sword,
[20:42] Alan
but I'm rather fond of it.
[20:45] Red Dragon King
It has been said that I am
the closest thing to a god.
[20:48] Red Dragon King
I am the Red Dragon King!
[20:50] Red Dragon King
And you, a mere human, have wounded me?
[20:56] Alan
It's true that this dragon is strong,
with power that sets it apart.
[20:59] Alan
But thanks to Akira, I was able to
gather solid information on the dragon.
[21:04] Alan
World End should take it down,
no problem.
[21:07] Alan
Akira risked her life to buy
us time. For her sake too...
[21:10] Alan
I won't be beaten here!
[21:27] Red Dragon King
Go ahead and try it! If you don't mind
dragging them into the fight, that is!
[21:31] Alan
You like to play dirty, don't you?
[21:35] Red Dragon King
You should be honored.
[21:36] Red Dragon King
I have acknowledged you as my enemy!
[21:39] Red Dragon King
I won't hesitate to use any means necessary!
[21:45] Lise
Alan-kun!
[21:51] Alan
Ever since I became someone
people call a failure,
[21:54] Alan
I haven't been able to face it.
[21:57] Alan
The way she's looking at me...
Things are different this life.
[22:04] Red Dragon King
You'd still come for me?
[22:06] Red Dragon King
Then all of you can die together!
[22:10] Alan
World End,
[22:12] Alan
Ultimate Skill...
[22:14] Alan
Flash!
[22:27] Red Dragon King
It can't be. This isn't...
[22:30] Red Dragon King
They didn't tell me anything about...
[22:49] Lise
Alan-kun!
[22:55] Alan
I think I'm tired after that.
[23:01] Akira
Huh?
[23:03] Akira
What happened with the dragon?
[23:10] Alan
On the princess's rescue mission,
I helped the hero defeat a dragon.
[23:14] Alan
This is far from the peaceful
life I was after,
[23:17] Alan
but if someone who believes
in me is in trouble, then...
[23:21] Lise
Alan-kun.
[23:31] Alan
Then it might be all right
to take a little detour.
[23:35] Alan
That's what I think.

[00:05] Lise
Good morning.
[00:07] Alan
Sorry. I only meant
to rest for a little while.
[00:11] Lise
Please, don't let it bother you.
[00:13] Lise
That battle with the dragon
must have left you tired, Alan.
[00:19] Alan
What about the others?
[00:21] Lise
Just over there.
[00:26] Alan
They seem full of energy.
[00:28] Lise
Alan...
[00:31] Lise
Um, it's about, well, you know.
[00:48] Alan
Among the homes of the needy, there travels
a woman who can heal any wound or illness,
[00:53] Alan
a miraculous saintess.
[00:56] Alan
I'd heard rumors, but I never
imagined they were about you, Lise.
[01:00] Lise
I'm sorry I never told you.
[01:04] Alan
Don't beat yourself up over it.
[01:06] Lise
But...
[01:07] Alan
Whether you're a princess or a saintess,
[01:10] Alan
to me, you'll always be you, Lise.
[01:13] Lise
Alan...
[01:17] Akira
Hey, Alan!
[01:19] Akira
Come spar with me!
[01:22] Alan
Well, duty calls.
[01:24] Akira
Hurry up and get over here!
[01:25] Béatrice
I would also ask for a round of instruction!
[01:27] Alan
Yes, I'm coming!

[03:01] Akira
Well, I'll see you around sometime.
[03:04] Alan
You could ride with us
to the nearest village.
[03:07] Akira
I'm not good with wagons and stuff.
[03:10] Akira
Walking wherever my mood takes
me suits me much better.
[03:16] Lise
Akira, are you certain
you want to look after her?
[03:20] Akira
She's gotten so attached to me.
[03:22] Akira
I'll take her with me as I
continue on my journey.
[03:25] Akira
She says she doesn't have any family,
[03:28] Akira
and it's not like I can send
her back to that village.
[03:32] Lise
That's true.
[03:34] Lise
Isn't that wonderful?
[03:35] Sara
Yes!
[03:38] Akira
I'm sorry about your sword, Alan.
[03:41] Alan
It's not your fault it broke, Akira.
[03:43] Akira
No...
[03:45] Akira
But that dragon was a foe
I was meant to defeat,
[03:48] Akira
and all I did was rely on you for everything.
[03:51] Akira
I'm really not fit to be a hero, am I?
[03:55] Akira
This divine sword, too...
[03:57] Akira
Maybe someone like you should be
the one carrying it.
[04:01] Alan
I was only able to defeat the dragon
because you fought it first.
[04:05] Akira
Alan...
[04:07] Alan
Besides, the only hero that exists
for this girl is you, Akira.
[04:14] Akira
Come on! We're going!
[04:19] Akira
Quit dawdling!
[04:23] Sara
Wait for me!
[04:27] Lise
Take care of yourselves!
[04:29] Béatrice
They seem good for each other.
[04:31] Lise
Don't they?
[04:36] Craig
I see.
[04:38] Craig
So the Red Dragon King was struck down.
[04:40] Horace
Yes.
[04:41] Craig
Lure the hero in...
[04:43] Craig
and dispose of her. That was the plan.
[04:45] Craig
For her to best him instead...
[04:48] Craig
Did we overestimate the dragon? Or...
[04:53] Horace
It appears the saintess lent a hand.
[04:59] Craig
So we mustn't scorn the
saintess's power. Is that it?
[05:02] Bret
Blast it!
[05:04] Bret
How could this be?
[05:06] Bret
If only the clay wolves had killed them!
[05:10] Bret
Next time, we'll send a huge pack
[05:12] Bret
and ensure their complete obliteration!
[05:15] Craig
Calm yourself, Bret.
[05:18] Craig
There's the issue of materials.
[05:20] Craig
With the Red Dragon King felled,
[05:23] Craig
we cannot afford to waste
sorcerous life-forms.
[05:25] Bret
But Father, at this rate, we're simply
allowing the hero and saintess to escape!
[05:30] Craig
What do you mean?
[05:32] Craig
As long as they remain
within the borderlands, we'll have
[05:35] Craig
any number of opportunities
to consign them to oblivion.
[05:37] Craig
More importantly...
[05:39] Craig
Have you discovered
the whereabouts of that elf?
[05:42] Horace
There's no need to rush me.
[05:44] Horace
I'll send you the elf's head soon enough.
[05:47] Horace
Now, if you'll excuse me...
[05:51] Craig
We'll entomb those infuriating
puppets of the divine...
[05:55] Craig
and have our revenge on both
this kingdom and the gods.
[06:00] Alan
You're friends with a smith, Lise?
[06:02] Lise
She lives in a village not far
from here called Granholm.
[06:07] Lise
I was thinking perhaps she
could make a new sword for you.
[06:11] Alan
I didn't know there were towns
out in the borderlands.
[06:14] Béatrice
The smith is a peculiar elf,
but her skills are sound.
[06:18] Lise
I just... really want
to apologize to you, Alan.
[06:22] Alan
Apologize?
[06:23] Lise
My revelation is the reason
you got caught up in everything.
[06:27] Lise
Of course, we'll only do this
if it's okay with you, Alan.
[06:32] Alan
In that case, I'd appreciate it.
[06:34] Lise
Leave everything to me!
[06:35] Alan
But Lise, don't you need
to go back to the capital?
[06:39] Alan
You are the princess, after all.
[06:42] Lise
Béatrice is here with me,
[06:45] Lise
and I've already contacted Father.
There's no issue whatsoever.
[06:48] Alan
That's good, then.
[06:56] Béatrice
Lady Lise, I'll start a fire.
Please wait a moment.
[07:00] Alan
Parallel Paradox: Create Fire!
[07:05] Lise
Wow, incredible!
[07:09] Béatrice
Wh-Wh-Wha—?
[07:21] Lise
I-I-I'm so sorry!
[07:23] Alan
It's all right.
[07:26] Béatrice
Since you're engaged to each other,
[07:28] Béatrice
surely it's fine to lay your head in his lap.
[07:34] Lise
H-He's my former fiancé!
[07:36] Béatrice
Ah, yes, that's right.
[07:39] Alan
You can go ahead and fall asleep
like that. I don't mind at all.
[07:43] Lise
Well, I do mind!
[07:59] Alan
Passing the time like this...
[08:01] Alan
I don't think I've done it
since reincarnating into this world.
[08:06] Alan
We first met on a beautiful
moonlit night like this, didn't we?
[08:15] (Flashback) 5 year old Lise
The moon is lovely, isn't it?
[08:18] (Flashback) 5 year old Alan
Who are you?
[08:20] (Flashback) 5 year old Lise
I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself.
I'm Lise Adoastella.
[08:26] (Flashback) 5 year old Lise
Um, I'm looking forward
to getting to know you, Lord Alan.
[08:30] (Flashback) 5 year old Alan
Getting to know me?
[08:31] (Flashback) 5 year old Lise
W-Well, um...
[08:33] (Flashback) 5 year old Lise
Lord Alan, you and I are...
[08:36] (Flashback) 5 year old Lise
betrothed.
[08:39] (Flashback) 5 year old Lise
That's what I've been told.
[08:41] (Flashback) 5 year old Alan
What?
[08:47] Alan
The peaceful life I've so longed for...
[08:50] Alan
Maybe it's something like this.
[08:55] Lise
Welcome to Granholm.
[08:58] Alan
It's so lively here that I'd never
guess it was in the borderlands.
[09:02] Béatrice
Adventurers and wanderers
with particular circumstances...
[09:06] Béatrice
Such folk gather here precisely
because it's in the borderlands.
[09:11] Alan
I see.
[09:18] Alan
So, Lise, this is...
[09:21] Alan
where your smith friend lives?
[09:24] Lise
I'm positive she'll forge
the perfect sword for you, Alan!
[09:30] Béatrice
This is strange.
[09:32] Béatrice
Normally, you'd hear the ringing of a sword
being struck even out here.
[09:36] Lise
Perhaps she's gone somewhere?
[09:38] Béatrice
That woman? Whose only interest
is in forging swords?
[09:43] Alan
Hey, Lise?
[09:45] Alan
The door doesn't seem to be locked.
[09:52] Lise
Noelle?
[09:53] Lise
Are you here? Noelle?
[09:59] Alan
These are all finely crafted pieces.
[10:02] Alan
They're far better than my sword.
[10:07] Alan
Lise, are you all right?
[10:09] Lise
Noelle is...
[10:11] Lise
Noelle has...
[10:14] Lise
Noelle...
[10:18] Alan
Keep your spirits up.
[10:20] Béatrice
Lady Lise, have you forgotten?
[10:22] Béatrice
This is normal for her.
[10:28] Alan
She's sleeping?
SIGN THE BANISHED FORMER HERO
LIVES AS HE PLEASES
[10:36] Alan
So every time she collapses
from exhaustion, you heal her, Lise?
[10:43] Lise
Yes. It's been a while, so I was taken aback.
[10:47] Béatrice
Once Mistress Noelle begins forging a sword,
she doesn't eat, drink, or sleep.
[10:52] Béatrice
Most of the time, she doesn't stop at all.
[10:56] Lise
I've told her to take care of herself.
[10:59] Lise
I've told her so many times, and yet...
[11:04] Noelle
I slept great.
[11:08] Noelle
What's this?
[11:09] Noelle
Lise and Béatrice? It's been a while.
[11:12] Noelle
Who is he?
[11:14] Lise
Oh, um...
[11:16] Béatrice
He's serving as Lady Lise's guard
with me. This is Master Alan.
[11:21] Alan
Nice to meet you.
[11:23] Noelle
I see.
[11:25] Noelle
You want me to forge
a sword for him, right?
[11:27] Lise
Yes! You really are quick
to grasp a situation, Noelle.
[11:30] Noelle
I can't do it.
[11:31] Lise
What? Why not?
[11:34] Noelle
I've got orders piled up right now.
I'm insanely busy.
[11:38] Alan
She's your friend?
[11:39] Lise
H-Honest! At least...
that's how I think of us, anyway.
[11:46] Noelle
Lise and I are friends,
but that has nothing to do with this.
[11:50] Béatrice
If you haven't got the time, then so be it.
[11:52] Noelle
Besides...
[11:53] Noelle
he already has a sword.
[11:55] Alan
No, this one is broken.
[11:58] Noelle
What? You broke it?
[12:00] Noelle
Someone with lackluster skills
carrying one of my blades would be...
[12:11] Noelle
This sword was used to its absolute limit.
[12:14] Noelle
It's completely dead.
[12:17] Noelle
How could anyone even manage this?
[12:20] Noelle
I've changed my mind.
[12:21] Noelle
I'll forge him a sword.
[12:22] Lise
Really?
[12:24] Noelle
Before that, let me ask one thing.
[12:27] Noelle
Do you have any interest in a blade
that surpasses a divine sword?
[12:30] Alan
Surpasses a divine sword...?
[12:35] Béatrice
A sword only a hero could wield.
[12:37] Béatrice
A sword which exists for the hero.
[12:40] Béatrice
You mean a sword to transcend even that?
[12:42] Noelle
That's right.
[12:44] Noelle
A piece whose value far exceeds
that of any sword here.
[12:48] Noelle
No matter how outstanding a smith may be,
[12:50] Noelle
they can't make their best sword without
knowing who will be wielding it.
[12:55] Noelle
They require a worthy bearer.
[12:59] Noelle
Until now, I haven't been able to find one,
[13:01] Noelle
but at long last, you're here.
[13:03] Lise
Noelle...
[13:04] Lise
The events of that day are truly still...
[13:07] Noelle
Lise.
[13:08] Lise
I'm sorry.
[13:10] Noelle
Now, what do you say?
[13:13] Alan
Well, after hearing all that,
I've got no reason to refuse.
[13:17] Noelle
All right! With that settled,
I'll get to work right away!
[13:21] Alan; Lise; Béatrice
What?
[13:23] Lise
What? Wait!
[13:30] Noelle
Vanessa...
[13:44] Noelle
No matter what...
[13:46] Noelle
I have to forge a blade that
surpasses a divine sword.
[13:54] Lise
I hope she doesn't do anything reckless.
[13:57] Alan
Lise?
[13:58] Lise
Oh, it's nothing.
[14:00] Béatrice
While working on a sword, she wouldn't
converse with us even if we stayed to visit.
[14:05] Alan
Shall we look for somewhere to lodge?
[14:07] Alan
We'll probably be staying
in this village for a while.
[14:13] Mylène
This must be reported.
[14:16] Horace
Really? The fact that the saintess is
here too is quite convenient for us.
[14:21] Horace
But something concerns me.
[14:25] Horace
According to Westfelt's information,
[14:27] Horace
the saintess's personal guard should be
a lone female knight.
[14:32] Mylène
Did she hire him in town?
[14:34] Horace
Who could he be?
[14:37] Horace
I suppose we should investigate a little.
[14:42] Alan
Now... what should I be doing?
[14:45] Béatrice
Why don't you simply relax
and spend your time as you like?
[14:48] Béatrice
That's what you've always
wished for, isn't it?
[14:51] Alan
That's true.
[14:53] Lise
Since you have the time, what about going
to have a look at the adventurers guild?
[14:58] Béatrice
The materials we obtained from that dragon
can likely be traded for a large sum.
[15:02] Alan
You're right.
[15:04] Alan
Since being cast out of my family,
I've had basically no money.
[15:09] Alan
What will you and Lise do?
[15:12] Lise
Béatrice and I will wander around
town and do some sightseeing.
[15:16] Alan
I see. Well, I'll see you later, then.
[15:20] Lise
Come back safely!
[15:25] Béatrice
Are you certain about this?
[15:27] Béatrice
You and I are unlikely to be
able to handle this on our own.
[15:31] Lise
I know.
[15:32] Lise
But I don't want to involve Alan
any more than he already has been.
[15:41] Nadia
Come right in!
[15:43] Nadia
Welcome to the adventurers guild.
[15:45] Alan
I'd like to exchange this for money.
[15:47] Nadia
I'll appraise it if you'll wait just a...
[15:50] Nadia
Th-This is a dragon scale!
[15:53] Nadia
What a precious item!
And you've got a whole bag full of them?
[15:56] Alan
I'm afraid I have no use for them.
[15:58] Nadia
B-Branch Manager!
[15:59] Nadia
Th-This is tremendous!
[16:00] Alan
Wait!
[16:01] Nadia
Take a look at this!
[16:03] Alan
Sounds like this is turning into a big deal.
[16:06] Horace
Excuse me.
[16:09] Horace
Do you have a moment?
[16:12] Horace
Regarding that dragon...
[16:14] Horace
Could I ask you to tell me
all about it in detail?
[16:17] Alan
I wouldn't mind, but...
[16:19] Horace
My.
[16:22] Horace
Pardon the belated introductions. I'm Horace.
[16:26] Horace
And this is Mylène.
[16:28] Alan
An Amazoness?
[16:30] Horace
They're somewhat unusual in this kingdom.
[16:34] Horace
Despite how we may look, we simply
can't get enough of adventure stories.
[16:40] Horace
We're traveling around
listening to adventurers.
[16:44] Alan
Really?
[16:46] Horace
Did you obtain those dragon
scales all on your own?
[16:50] Horace
Or did you have allies with you?
[16:52] Alan
Well, there's no way I could've
defeated it by myself, is there?
[16:55] Horace
By some chance, was the hero with you?
[16:59] Alan
Your intuition is very good.
[17:01] Horace
It must have been quite incredible to behold.
[17:05] Nadia
Sorry to keep you waiting!
[17:06] Nadia
We've finished the appraisal,
so we can begin the exchange now.
[17:10] Horace
Well, if you'll excuse us...
[17:13] Horace
Let's meet again.
[17:17] Horace
I came to see the fellow
because I wanted to get his measure,
[17:21] Horace
but I never expected him to be
a failure without so much as a gift.
[17:24] Horace
It's astounding.
[17:28] Mylène
Something about him bothers Mylène a little.
[17:30] Horace
Come now. He's a completely trivial opponent.
[17:40] Alan
Noelle, is the sword ready?
[17:46] Alan
I knew it.
[17:52] Noelle
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
[17:54] Noelle
It's finished.
[17:58] Noelle
It's the very best blade I'm
capable of forging right now.
[18:08] Alan
Yeah.
[18:12] Alan
You're not kidding.
This is an incredible sword.
[18:17] Noelle
Let's go and test it... right now...
[18:20] Lise
Noelle.
[18:24] Lise
Let's go after you've recovered, shall we?
[18:30] Alan
If this is just about ease of use,
[18:32] Alan
I could have tested that on my own.
[18:34] Noelle
I want to see you using it with my own eyes.
[18:37] Noelle
It will probably need some
adjustments to suit you better.
[18:40] Alan
You're very particular.
[18:42] Noelle
Of course I am.
[18:43] Alan
Say, Noelle, why are you a smith?
[18:46] Noelle
Is it odd to see an elven smith?
[18:48] Alan
Well, considering the special
traits bestowed by their gifts,
[18:52] Alan
I'd say that more dwarves
are better cut out for the work.
[18:58] Alan
Noelle?
[19:00] Noelle
I was raised by a dwarf.
[19:04] Noelle
I don't know where I was born
or who my parents are.
[19:08] Noelle
I wound up someplace I'd never seen before.
[19:10] (Flashback) Vanessa
Hang in there!
[19:11] Noelle
I was just wandering with nowhere to go,
and the person who took me in...
[19:15] Noelle
was Vanessa.
[19:18] Noelle
She was awkward, unyielding, and obstinate.
[19:21] Noelle
She didn't teach me a single
thing about forging swords,
[19:25] Noelle
but to me, she's still my dear master.
[19:29] Alan
I see.
[19:30] Noelle
But my personal history hardly
matters here, does it?!
[19:33] Noelle
Let's get a move on!
[19:37] Alan
You're the one who started talking about it.
[19:39] Horace
Well, well. What a coincidence.
[19:42] Alan
Hey, we meet again.
[19:44] Horace
Are you off to hunt monsters
at the request of the guild?
[19:47] Alan
Something like that.
[19:49] Horace
Well, when you return,
please tell us all about it.
[19:55] Noelle
Hey, Alan!
[19:57] Noelle
Hurry up and get over here!
[19:59] Alan
I'm coming!
[20:00] Horace
Well then, we'll be going.
[20:06] Noelle
That person is...
[20:09] Noelle
No, it couldn't be.
[20:12] Horace
It doesn't appear he was
snooping around about us at all.
[20:18] Mylène
What's his objective?
[20:19] Horace
Shadow him.
[20:21] Horace
If he stumbles upon it,
it will mean trouble for us.
[20:34] Alan
I like it!
[20:35] Noelle
Let me see it for a moment.
[20:37] Alan
By all means.
[20:42] Alan
Is that your gift, Noelle?
[20:44] Noelle
Yes.
[20:45] Noelle
A sword's strength, sharpness,
[20:47] Noelle
and conditions imperceptible to the eye...
I can see all of it.
[20:50] Noelle
The speed of the blade, its angle,
the positioning...
[20:53] Noelle
He's wielding the sword flawlessly.
[20:55] Noelle
You've used this perfectly,
leaving not a single scratch on it.
[21:00] Noelle
As I thought. My eyes didn't deceive me.
[21:06] Alan
I'm glad I didn't disappoint.
[21:08] Noelle
Looks like I need to have you fight
some stronger monsters.
[21:13] Noelle
Let's try going a little deeper in.
[21:15] Alan
Noelle?
[21:16] Alan
Hang on just a second!
[21:22] Noelle
This is strange.
[21:24] Noelle
Monsters normally come in droves here.
[21:27] Noelle
Perhaps they all ran scared because of you.
[21:31] Alan
No. It isn't me they're scared of.
[21:33] Noelle
What?
[21:34] Alan
I imagine...
[21:35] Alan
it's that.
[21:40] Noelle
Amazing.
[21:49] (Flashback) Noelle; 3 years earlier
Run!
[21:50] (Flashback) Noelle; 3 years earlier
Run!
[21:53] (Flashback) Vanessa
Noelle!
[21:54] (Flashback) Vanessa
You have to run!
[21:59] Noelle

Use that sword...
[22:03] Noelle
against... against that thing...
[22:07] Noelle
and kill it!

I said, "Hey!"
[00:17] (Flashback) young Noelle
Honestly.
[00:25] (Flashback) young Noelle
I ate what we had in the house.
[00:31] (Flashback) young Noelle
Look at all these tools.
[00:33] (Flashback) young Noelle
How do you use all of them?
[00:41] (Flashback) young Noelle
What's your problem?
[00:50] (Flashback) young Noelle
It's so heavy!
[00:57] (Flashback) young Noelle
Ow, ow, ow...
[01:13] (Flashback) young Noelle
You've been banging on that sword forever.
[01:15] (Flashback) young Noelle
What's so fun about that?
[01:18] (Flashback) young Noelle
You collapse after going days
without drink or food...
[01:20] (Flashback) young Noelle

Alan.
[03:34] Noelle
Use that sword...
[03:35] Noelle
against... against that thing...
[03:39] Noelle
and kill it!
[03:45] Alan
I have no reason to kill this monster.
[03:48] Alan
It's not like it's attacked us.
[03:50] Alan
It's simply sleeping here, in the forest,
away from human settlements.
[03:54] Noelle
That's the thing that... my...
[03:58] Alan
I don't know what your situation may be,
[04:00] Alan
but I have no intention
of abetting your revenge.
[04:07] Alan
I wouldn't do that.
[04:10] Alan
It seems that this monster, Fenrir,
[04:13] Alan
has a barrier up that will nullify
any attacks below a certain level.
[04:17] Alan
Only the finest of top-class
weapons could break through it.
[04:21] Alan
For example, a sacred sword.
[04:24] Noelle
My blade is greater than a sacred sword!
[04:26] Alan
No, that blade wouldn't leave
a single scratch on it.
[04:30] Alan
You already know, don't you, Noelle?
[04:33] Alan
You haven't yet made anything
that surpasses a sacred sword.
[04:38] Alan
If you still want to try cutting
the beast down, I won't stop you.
[04:53] Béatrice
Such a beast in these woods?
[04:56] Béatrice
There truly are treacherous monsters
dwelling in the borderlands...
[05:00] Lise
It was Fenrir?
[05:03] Alan
I think someone brought it here.
[05:05] Alan
It was like it was cloaked
by some kind of power.
[05:08] Béatrice
Who would do that? And to what end?
[05:11] Alan
I have something of a hunch,
[05:14] Alan
but no concrete evidence yet.
[05:16] Béatrice
In any case, it would be prudent
to err on the side of caution.
[05:21] Alan
Oh, right. Lise, did you two
finish your business?
[05:24] Alan
You didn't come here just
to have a sword made for me, did you?
[05:30] Lise
I really can't hide anything from you, can I?
[05:34] Lise
About three months ago,
[05:36] Lise
the renowned General Cyril,
one of our strongest...
[05:38] Lise
was assassinated.
[05:41] Lise
The culprit's motives are unknown,
[05:43] Lise
but they took his head when they escaped.
[05:47] Lise
Various gifts were used
to investigate the scene,
[05:50] Lise
but not a shred of evidence was left behind.
[05:55] Alan
In other words...
[05:56] Béatrice
As you've already surmised,
[05:58] Béatrice
it's very likely a demon
perpetrated the crime.
[06:00] Béatrice
After all, they use powers unknown to us.
[06:04] Alan
But a demon assassinating a human?
[06:07] Alan
You don't hear about that often.
[06:08] Alan
Seems like they'd be completely
indifferent to political conflicts.
[06:12] Béatrice
So, someone in the kingdom has
joined forces with demons...
[06:16] Béatrice
and is making use of their powers.
[06:19] Lise
We came to this town, where all sorts
of people gather, to look for clues.
[06:26] Alan
Demons, huh?
[06:28] Alan
I don't know who was responsible,
[06:31] Alan
but I did meet someone suspicious.
[06:33] Lise; Béatrice
What?
[06:39] Mylène
How was this broken?
[06:45] Mylène
What is that power?
[06:47] Mylène
He's supposed to be a trivial opponent.
[06:52] Mylène
But that...
[06:55] Mylène
doesn't matter either.
[07:02] Horace
How did it go?
[07:04] Mylène
No issues to report.
[07:05] Horace
We will make our move soon.
[07:08] Horace
After all, no matter how long we stay in a
town like this, we won't find any fun here.
[07:13] Horace
Go take the saintess's and elf's heads.
[07:19] Horace
My, what's this?
[07:20] Horace
Don't tell me that a hearty, battle-loving
Amazoness doesn't care to see blood.
[07:28] Horace
All I want to hear right now is your assent.
[07:35] Horace
Are we clear?
[07:37] Mylène
Understood.
[07:53] (Flashback) Alan
This sword isn't quite there.
[07:55] (Flashback) Alan
But, depending on how it's refined,
[07:58] (Flashback) Alan
I think it could become capable
of landing a blow on Fenrir.
[08:02] (Flashback) Alan
After using it, I can sense
how it might improve.
[08:06] (Flashback) Noelle
Tell me everything!
[08:11] (Flashback) Alan
All right.
[08:12] (Flashback) Alan
But make sure you don't do
anything reckless, all right?
[08:18] Noelle
Not yet...
[08:20] Noelle
I can still keep going!
[08:25] Noelle
I have to do this.
[08:28] Noelle
Her ideas...
[08:39] Noelle
I'm nearly there, but...
[08:45] (Flashback) young Noelle
Hurry up and run, Vanessa!
[08:49] (Flashback) Horace
I understand you're a smith
of exceptional talent.
[08:54] (Flashback) Horace
Alas, that's something of a problem for us.
[08:58] (Flashback) Horace
We can't have an increase in keen blades
to rival sacred swords, you see.
[09:13] (Flashback) young Noelle
Vanessa!
[09:42] (Flashback) Horace
The hero, I presume?
[09:44] (Flashback) Akira
Strike through, Divine Lightning!
[09:51] (Flashback) Akira
Not a scratch, huh?
[09:52] (Flashback) Akira
In that case...
[10:03] (Flashback) Horace
I think we'll take this opportunity
to withdraw for now.
[10:09] (Flashback) Akira
Curses.
[10:16] (Flashback) Akira
Hey, we should probably
take care of those wounds.
[10:21] (Flashback) young Noelle
Why?
[10:23] (Flashback) young Noelle
Why could you strike it so easily?
[10:27] (Flashback) young Noelle
Why wasn't her sword good enough?
[10:32] (Flashback) young Noelle
That's... That's just...
[10:37] Noelle
It felt irrational and unfair.
[10:39] Noelle
Like someone had trampled
all over something precious.
[10:42] Noelle
All her hard work...
[10:44] Noelle
All the heart she'd
poured into that sword...
[10:47] Noelle
That's why...
[10:51] Noelle
Huh?
[10:52] Noelle
I feel so light...
[10:57] Noelle
Was it Lise?
[11:02] Alan
Honestly. I told her not to be reckless.
[11:11] Noelle
It's done!
[11:33] Noelle
I'm sorry, Alan.
[11:34] Noelle
I'm going to use your sword for a bit.

LIVES AS HE PLEASES
[12:09] Noelle
There's more where that came from.
[12:11] Horace
Well, this is a surprise.
[12:14] Horace
You've taken a blow from Fenrir
and you're still able to stand?
[12:20] Horace
I've been looking for you, Noelle Leonhart.
[12:24] Horace
I never imagined you'd be
here in the borderlands.
[12:28] Noelle
You're going to kill me, aren't you?
[12:30] Noelle
Like you killed Vanessa.
[12:33] Horace
Vanessa?
[12:34] Horace
I see! I thought you looked familiar.
[12:38] Horace
You're the elf who was
with that dwarven smith.
[12:42] Noelle
It's your fault that she...
[12:45] Horace
For both master and apprentice
to be killed by Fenrir,
[12:48] Horace
this must be something like fate.
[13:02] Noelle
If I could just... land a single slash...
[13:07] Horace
Before Fenrir eats you,
I'd like to ask you one thing.
[13:13] Noelle
I have nothing to say to you.
[13:16] Horace
Would you consider serving me?
[13:19] Noelle
What?
[13:19] Horace
I've heard you have a special power.
[13:23] Horace
So it's a bit of a waste to let you
simply become a meal for Fenrir.
[13:27] Noelle
A special power?
[13:29] Horace
The eyes of the fairy sovereign, Grahm Sight.
[13:32] Horace
There are only five known inborn gifts
in this world, and that is one of them.
[13:37] Horace
Were you aware?
[13:40] Horace
Don't worry. You will, of course,
be compensated.
[13:43] Horace
I have others in my service.
[13:46] Horace
We can bring you in right away.
[13:49] Noelle
You mean that Amazoness girl, don't you?
[13:51] Horace
Despite appearances,
I am quite tenderhearted.
[13:55] Horace
She's lost her homeland and has nowhere
to go, so I keep her close to me.
[14:00] Horace
Although, we were the ones
who destroyed the place.
[14:06] Noelle
You fiend!
[14:08] Horace
What do you say?
[14:09] Horace
I don't believe it's such a bad idea.
[14:12] Noelle
If the alternative is becoming
your slave, then I choose death!
[14:17] Horace
I thought you were someone
who'd make the smarter choice.
[14:22] Noelle
I'll pray in the next world
for your suffering and death!
[14:27] Horace
What a shame!
[14:39] Noelle
Alan!
[14:40] Alan
Sorry I'm late.
[14:42] Horace
Well! Looks like I misjudged your abilities.
[14:47] Horace
Coming to the rescue of an ally
in dire straits... How splendid!
[14:51] Horace
However, Sir Knight,
[14:54] Horace
should you really have abandoned
your primary post to come here?
[14:59] Alan
What are you trying to say?
[15:00] Horace
Should anything befall the princess,
[15:03] Horace
you'll be too late to stop it.
[15:22] Béatrice
That's far enough.
[15:27] Mylène
How can you see me?
[15:29] Alan
Oh, you mean the Amazoness
who can cloak her presence?
[15:33] Alan
That won't be a problem.
[15:34] Alan
I had a feeling about that,
[15:36] Alan
so I put up a barrier to nullify invisibility
within a certain range of Lise.
[15:41] Horace
What?
[15:42] Alan
I was subjected to schemes like this so many
times in my last life that I'm sick of them.
[15:47] Horace
Your last life? You're talking nonsense.
[15:51] Horace
Still, even if you attempt to reveal her...
[16:04] Lise
Béatrice, wait!
[16:23] Lise
You don't really...
[16:36] Alan
Yeah, it doesn't look like they'll
be needing any assistance.
[16:39] Alan
Your assassination attempt
fell through after all.
[16:43] Horace
That's a transparent lie!
[16:44] Alan
You're welcome to keep thinking
I'm just bluffing if you want.
[16:49] Horace
Either way, I'm the one in control here!
That much is undeniable fact.
[16:54] Horace
Because, without a sacred sword, you can't
inflict so much as a scratch on us!
[16:58] Horace
Go, Fenrir!
[17:00] Horace
Go and sink your teeth
into that insolent man!
[17:12] Noelle
Alan!
[17:28] Horace
Th-This can't be!
[17:42] Alan
The instant I healed her, she fell asleep.
[17:46] Alan
Well, she did stay up all night
forging that sword.
[17:48] Alan
Guess that's how it goes.
[17:50] Lise
Alan-kun!
[17:53] Lise
You aren't hurt, are you?
[17:54] Alan
No, I'm fine.
[17:56] Lise
What about Noelle?
[17:57] Alan
She's just asleep.
[17:59] Lise
I'm so glad.
[18:02] Alan
Did we wake you?
[18:05] Noelle
Hey! Why are you carrying
me without my permission?
[18:08] Noelle
Put me down!
[18:13] Alan
She's already been released from the effects
of that man's subordination gift.
[18:18] Alan
She should be able to speak freely.
[18:21] Lise
If she insists on staying silent,
we'll never understand her situation.
[18:25] Béatrice
Perhaps we should send her
to the capital and have her stand trial.
[18:29] Lise
But I just don't believe she's a bad person.
[18:33] Béatrice
Then we should just leave her here?
[18:36] Béatrice
Lise-sama, she nearly killed you!
[18:39] Lise
She didn't attempt the assassination
of her own free will.
[18:43] Lise
Besides, she must have someone
waiting for her to return back—
[18:46] Mylène
They burned it all.
[18:48] Mylène
I have nowhere to return to.
[18:59] (Flashback) young Noelle
Who are you?
[19:00] (Flashback) Vanessa
Vanessa.
[19:05] (Flashback) young Noelle
Where are we going?
[19:08] (Flashback) Vanessa
To our home.
[19:17] Noelle
In that case...
[19:20] Lise
Noelle?
[19:25] Noelle
Why don't you come with me?
[19:27] Noelle
To our home.
[19:31] Béatrice
Noelle-dono!
[19:33] Noelle
I'll look after this girl.
[19:35] Noelle
That takes care of everything, doesn't it?
[19:37] Béatrice
Th-There's still a possibility
she'll come after Lise-sama's life again!
[19:42] Noelle
If that happens, I'll catch her...
[19:45] Noelle
and I'll scold her very sternly.
[19:47] Noelle
Okay?
[19:53] Lise
Are you all right?
[19:56] Béatrice
I-I'm sorry! Did I speak too harshly?
[20:05] Alan
I guess that's one problem solved.
[20:13] Alan
Now, then...
[20:14] Alan
Let's see. It was around here, wasn't it?
[20:29] Horace
I've gotten far enough away now.
[20:31] Horace
Still...
[20:32] Horace
That power exceeds our understanding.
[20:37] Horace
Just who is he?
[20:58] Horace
Don't tell me that's also...
[21:14] Alan
Oh dear.
[21:16] Alan
I was going to ask him all sorts of things,
[21:19] Alan
but someone else got here first.
[21:27] Damien
I dealt with him before he
could leak any information.
[21:32] Craig
As you should. This blunder falls
squarely on all of you, after all.
[21:36] Bret
After all that big talk, you couldn't
finish off the saintess or the elf.
[21:40] Bret
At this point, all you've done
is take the head of one general.
[21:44] Bret
Demons aren't so impressive after all.
[21:49] Damien
We will deal with the saintess
and the elf next.
[21:53] Craig
Then we'll handle the hero
and the archbishop.
[21:56] Bret
Father, leave the archbishop to me.
[22:00] Craig
Oh? You seem quite confident about this.
[22:04] Bret
Of course.
[22:05] Bret
After all, I'm not like that failure.

What a peaceful village.
[02:49] villager A
What's this? I haven't seen you before.
[02:52] Alan
Are you getting ready for a festival?
[02:54] villager A
Yes. It's called the
Returning Spirits Festival.
[02:57] villager A
We welcome the spirits of
our departed ancestors.
[02:59] villager A
It takes place every year.
[03:02] Béatrice
You welcome... spirits?
[03:06] villager C
I don't blame you for being surprised.
[03:07] villager C
It's a custom unique to our village.
[03:10] villager C
But, basically, we just dress up as
ghosts and dance. It's a great time.
[03:15] Béatrice
I see.
[03:17] Lise
E-Excuse me.
[03:18] Lise
Do you know someone who wears silver armor?
[03:21] Lise
I heard someone of that description
had been seen in this village.
[03:24] villager A
Silver armor?
[03:26] villager A
Well?

I see.
[03:31] villager A
I'm sorry we couldn't be of any help.

So it was no more than a rumor, then.

No leads today either.
[03:47] (Flashback) Alan
And the guild apparently hasn't
picked up any information.
[03:51] (Flashback) Béatrice
If only we had some kind of hint,
[03:54] (Flashback) Béatrice
like a suspicious incident.
[03:57] (Flashback) Noelle
A general was assassinated, huh?
[03:59] (Flashback) Noelle
Come to think of it...
[04:01] (Flashback) Noelle
I heard from a regular
client of mine, an adventurer,
[04:04] (Flashback) Noelle
about a ghost that appears
in a certain village.
[04:08] (Flashback) Noelle
Supposedly from the royal family.
[04:12] (Flashback) Noelle
Bearing a grudge born
of the royal family's oppression
[04:15] (Flashback) Noelle
and wearing silver armor
splattered with blood,
[04:18] (Flashback) Noelle
it walks through the graveyard
night after night...
[04:23] (Flashback) Béatrice
A ghost? How preposterous!
[04:34] (Flashback) Noelle
So you're scared of ghosts?
[04:35] (Flashback) Mylène
You're terrified.
[04:36] (Flashback) Béatrice
N-No, I'm not! Certainly not!
[04:39] Béatrice
What do I possibly have to fear from spirits?
[04:41] Béatrice
To begin with, they aren't even real!
[04:43] (Flashback) Lise
This village...
[04:44] (Flashback) Lise
Let's go and investigate.
[04:46] (Flashback) Alan
If we're dealing with demons,
[04:47] (Flashback) Alan
it's not out of the question they might
know how to raise the dead, right?
[04:52] (Flashback) Béatrice
Y-Yes, I suppose you're right.
[04:53] (Flashback) Noelle
But you're not afraid.
[04:55] (Flashback) Mylène
You're not scared.
[04:56] (Flashback) Béatrice
What? Of course I'm afr—
[04:58] (Flashback) Béatrice
I'm not afraid!
[04:59] (Flashback) Béatrice
I am not scared!
[05:01] (Flashback) Béatrice
I would never fear such a thing!
[05:03] (Flashback) Béatrice
Stop saying that! It's rude to
even suggest that I'd be scared!
[05:08] Alan
Thinking back on it, Noelle
mentioned a graveyard, didn't she?
[05:12] Alan
Let's check out the village
cemetery, shall we?
[05:18] Alan
It doesn't seem like anything
of the sort is going to appear.
[05:25] Béatrice
Wh-Who goes there?!
[05:31] Alan
He's the man from earlier.
[05:34] Béatrice
Thank you for going to the trouble
of escorting us to the village headman.
[05:39] villager B
When it comes to this village,
[05:41] villager B
no one is more knowledgeable.
[05:45] Alan
What were you doing in the cemetery?
[05:48] villager B
I happened to be passing by...
and saw you were there.
[05:54] villager B
I'll be going now.
[06:00] village head
Well, things are quiet here.
[06:02] village head
We haven't heard any rumors like that.
[06:06] Lise
I see.
[06:07] village head
It's not much consolation,
but would you care to stay the night?
[06:11] village head
We have the festival tomorrow.
Stay and see it if you'd like.
[06:20] Alan
We'll take you up on that kind offer.

Please do! By all means!
I'll make the preparations right away.

Uncle...
[06:39] (Flashback) Alfred
Lise!
[06:45] (Flashback) young Lise
Father!
[06:49] (Flashback) Alfred
Lise, you know I'm not your father.
[06:52] (Flashback) young Lise
You're like a father to me too, Uncle!
[06:54] (Flashback) young Lise
Having two fathers makes me so happy!
[06:59] (Flashback) Alfred
I only stopped by to say hello today.
[07:01] (Flashback) Alfred
I'll be away on a campaign
for a while, you see...
[07:04] (Flashback) young Lise
What?
[07:06] (Flashback) young Lise
When will I be able to see you next?
[07:10] (Flashback) Alfred
I'll come visit again very soon.
[07:12] (Flashback) young Lise
Really?
[07:14] (Flashback) Alfred
Lise.
[07:15] (Flashback) Alfred
In every situation, believing in people
is the most important thing.
[07:20] (Flashback) Alfred
That belief becomes a connection
that links us together.
[07:27] Lise
Uncle...
[07:50] Lise
Uncle!
[07:56] Lise
Wait! Uncle!
[08:00] Lise
Uncle, where are you?
[08:17] Alan
Lise! Lise!
[08:23] Lise
Alan-kun?
[08:25] Alan
Are you all right?
[08:27] Lise
It was a dream?
[08:35] Alan
L-Lise?
[08:38] Lise
Just for a moment...
[08:40] Lise
please let me stay like this.
[09:00] Béatrice
What a strange festival.
[09:14] Béatrice
They're celebrating, but treating the
dead this way is taboo in our kingdom.
[09:19] Alan
Then, as a knight of the realm,
why don't you put a stop to it?
[09:23] Béatrice
It isn't as if the festival
is causing problems for anyone.
[09:42] Alan
I don't see anything unnatural,
[09:45] Alan
but this village is...
[09:54] villager B
Um, if you'd like...
[09:56] villager B
since you're here,
why don't all of you dance, too?
[10:01] Béatrice
Oh, no, we couldn't.
[10:04] Lise
I would like to rest here awhile.
[10:08] Lise
You two should go
enjoy yourselves. Please.
[10:22] Alan
Yeah, all right.
[10:24] Béatrice
You're going?
[10:26] Béatrice
If you'll excuse me.
[10:38] Alfred
Lise!
[10:46] Lise
Uncle?
[10:55] Lise
Wait!
[11:15] Alfred
Coming somewhere like this on
your own is dangerous, you know?
[11:20] Lise
But... But...
[11:24] Lise
You're here with me, Father!

LIVES AS HE PLEASES
[11:46] Alfred
I told you. I'm your uncle.
[11:48] Lise
You're like a father to me too, Uncle.
[11:53] Lise
I've wondered...
[11:55] Lise
all this time...
[11:56] Lise
What have you been doing all this time?
[11:59] Lise
Back then, search as we might,
[12:02] Lise
we could never find you, Uncle.
[12:05] Lise
That's why... I believed
you must be alive somewhere.
[12:10] Lise
Where were you? What have you been doing?
[12:12] Alfred
I've been resenting the royal family.
[12:18] Alfred
I hid myself away
so that I could take revenge.
[12:22] Alfred
My older brother, your father...
[12:26] Alfred
is trying to kill you!
[12:28] Lise
What do you mean? I don't
understand what you're saying!
[12:31] Alfred
Listen closely, Lise.
[12:33] Alfred
The king is targeting the lives of
those who possess inborn gifts...
[12:39] Alfred
The naturally gifted!
[12:42] Alfred
The power to vanquish a dragon.
[12:45] Alfred
The power to create unparalleled weapons.
[12:49] Alfred
The power to double the strength of the
soldiers and bring glory to the nation.
[12:54] Alfred
The power to read any gift.
[12:58] Alfred
And finally, Lise, your power as a saintess.
[13:03] Alfred
Any of these powers has the
potential to destroy the kingdom.
[13:06] Alfred
You're all known as the puppets of the gods.
[13:10] Lise
That's unthinkable!
[13:12] Alfred
Yes, I feel the same way.
[13:14] Alfred
But the king thinks differently.
[13:17] Alfred
You're rebels who will wreak havoc
at the behest of the gods...
[13:22] Alfred
That's how he feels.
[13:25] Alfred
And that's why he's decided
to kill all of you!
[13:28] Lise
That can't be.
[13:30] Alfred
I want to save you.
[13:34] Alfred
Come and defeat him with us!
[13:42] Lise
I'm sorry, Uncle.
[13:45] Lise
Even if all you say is true,
[13:48] Lise
I believe that if we can just talk,
we can come to an understanding.
[13:53] Lise
Uncle, you once told me something.
[13:55] Lise
You said, "In every situation, believing
in people is the most important thing."
[14:00] Alfred
I see. Come to think of it...
[14:04] Alfred
I did say that.
[14:07] Lise
Uncle?
[14:08] Alfred
Don't worry. Your corpse won't go to waste.
[14:12] Lise
Uncle, you can't be...
[14:14] Alfred
Rest easy...
[14:17] Alfred
and die!
[14:28] Lise
Alan-kun!
[14:30] Alfred
You.
[14:31] Alfred
Don't interfere.
[14:32] Alan
You're the one interfering
with my peace and quiet.
[14:36] Lise
Alan-kun, why are you...
[14:39] Alan
I've been watching the whole time.
[14:41] Alfred
Alan, you say?
[14:43] Alfred
If it isn't Lise's former fiancé, the failure!
[14:47] Alan
I'm not here to make small talk.
[14:49] Alan
You will return Alfred-san to us.
[14:54] Alan
Parallel Paradox: Spell Break!
[15:02] Lise
Alan-kun, what have you done to my uncle?
[15:04] Alfred
Wait, Lise.
[15:08] Alfred
I...
[15:11] Alfred
am already dead.
[15:14] Alfred
Alan-kun, is this your doing?
[15:18] Alan
I broke the spell that had been cast on you.
[15:21] Alfred
Thank you.
[15:23] Alfred
Lise, to think that I would
turn my sword on you.
[15:27] Alfred
The things I said to you...
[15:29] Alfred
and the fact that I tried to kill you...
None of that was of my own will.
[15:33] Alfred
It isn't the king who's
responsible. It's demons.
[15:38] Alfred
However, my grudge against
the royal bloodline is very real.
[15:43] Lise
Why?
[15:44] Alfred
I am the younger brother of the king.
[15:48] Alfred
As second in line to the throne,
I've had many try to ingratiate themselves.
[15:54] Alfred
Some even tried to drive a wedge
between me and my brother.
[15:58] Alfred
I hated the fetters that
came with being a royal.
[16:02] Alfred
That's why I chose to abandon my position
and start over again from scratch.
[16:07] Alfred
That's how I became vice-captain
of our premier knight squadron.
[16:12] Alfred
But, Lise, you were the only thing
in my life that brought me peace.
[16:18] Lise
Uncle...
[16:21] Alfred
I don't have much time.
[16:24] Alfred
Alan-kun, there are two
things I want to ask of you.
[16:28] Alan
Sir.
[16:30] Alfred
Take care of Lise for me.
[16:33] Alfred
She's a good girl, but she's reckless,
so I worry a little about her.
[16:38] Alan
Even if you hadn't asked,
that was always my plan.
[16:41] Alfred
Thank you.
[16:43] Alfred
Now, the second thing...
[16:48] Alfred
Will you spar with me once?
[16:53] Alan
All right.
[16:55] Lise
Alan-kun?
[16:57] Alan
He's entrusting his little girl to me.
[17:01] Alan
It's only natural that he wants
to see if I'm worthy.
[17:04] Alfred
How very wise you are.
[17:06] Alfred
Right now, it is not as a corpse,
but as a man, as a knight, as a father...
[17:12] Alfred
that I charge into battle!
[17:23] Alfred
Come! Tonight is the
Returning Spirits Festival!
[17:28] Alfred
The living and the dead mingle!
[17:30] Alfred
It is the dream of but a single night!
[17:33] Alfred
A chance to dance with those
who shall never return!
[17:44] (Flashback) young Lise
Father!
[17:46] (Flashback) young Lise
Father, you're really strong, aren't you?
[17:49] (Flashback) young Lise
Will you protect me from scary monsters?
[17:52] (Flashback) Alfred
Yes. Until the day that someone
stronger than me appears,
[17:57] (Flashback) Alfred
I will protect you.
[18:16] Alfred
Lise...
[18:18] Alfred
I'm sorry to put such a look on your face.
[18:22] Alfred
But I feel at ease now.
[18:26] Alfred
You were truly like a daughter to me.
[18:31] Alfred
When you called me "Father,"
[18:33] Alfred
I tried not to let my joy show on my face.
[18:36] Alfred
You have no idea how difficult that was.
[18:41] Lise
I've been so blessed.
[18:44] Lise
I love you...
[18:47] Lise
Father.
[18:50] Alfred
Lise...
[18:54] Alfred
Find happiness.
[19:28] village head
May I ask when you noticed?
[19:35] Alan
Right from the start.
[19:38] Alan
Both that the town was full of the dead,
[19:40] Alan
and that you, the village head,
were the one controlling them.
[19:44] village head
If you knew, then why...
[19:47] Alan
I didn't want to get involved.
[19:50] Alan
The dead may live amongst the living here,
[19:53] Alan
but this place is the
very definition of peaceful.
[19:55] village head
Even if this old fool... is a demon?
[19:59] Alan
Assuming that every demon is evil
just because they're demons...
[20:02] Alan
That's too simplistic, don't you think?
[20:09] Alan
Though, right now, that consideration
seems rather fruitless.
[20:13] village head
You seem like you'd be
an excellent pawn to have.
[20:17] village head
Now, bow to my power!
[20:34] Alan
World End: Two with One Stroke!
[21:01] Bret
You're saying you failed again?
[21:03] Bret
Even though I lent you my help?
[21:05] Craig
Enough, Bret.
[21:08] Craig
Letting one girl escape will no longer
pose any obstacle to the plan.
[21:13] Bret
Yes.
[21:14] Bret
Because, unlike them, I was successful.
[21:19] Craig
Indeed. The archbishop's head
is already in our hands.
[21:26] Béatrice
Lise-sama.
[21:29] Béatrice
Lise-sama?
[21:31] Béatrice
Are you all right?
[21:33] Lise
Yes.
[21:34] Béatrice
As a knight, I will always
be by your side, Lise-sama.
[21:41] Lise
Thank you.
[21:46] Alan
The power in this...
[21:49] Alan
Bret, huh?
[21:51] Alan
The only part of Alfred that
was truly his was his head.
[21:55] Alan
And then there's the general,
who lost his head.
[21:59] Alan
I see.
[22:05] chamberlain
Lise-sama!
[22:06] chamberlain
General Cyril... He's returned!

Yeah. The kingdom couldn't
possibly intend for us to...

But word came from the general.
[03:57] citizen 4
He's served the king faithfully
for many long years, you know?
[04:03] Clark
As usual, the town is abuzz with gossip.
[04:06] Edward
Do you mean with rumors that General Cyril,
supposedly dead, has reappeared?
[04:12] Clark
Yes. It's gotten the people on edge.
[04:16] Clark
It was unavoidable to some extent,
[04:19] Clark
but this is something else entirely.
[04:21] Clark
I believe it's spreading far too quickly.
[04:26] Edward
It's possible it's being spread as a deliberate
and systematic form of incitement.
[04:31] Clark
Captain Edward, what do you make of things?
[04:34] Clark
Is the general an impostor, or...
[04:38] Edward
Clark, don't get lost in the details.
[04:42] Edward
Even if he's an impostor or a ghost,
[04:45] Edward
it doesn't change what the
premier knight squadron must do.

If anyone wishes harm upon the kingdom,
we will stop them. It's that simple.

If he were here, I'm sure

Right now, gathering information

Even so!

Don't worry. I'll be back soon.

Look after everyone for me.

We've arrived.

These are the training grounds.

Why bring me to this place?

However, when you're so full of bloodlust...

You're the only one who'd do that.

Still, it's been a while, hasn't it?

I haven't seen you since that day.
[07:08] Edward
Now, what are your intentions here?
[07:15] Craig
You're such a fool.

What?
[07:18] Craig
The archbishop already belongs to us.
[07:23] Edward
What do you mean?
[07:26] Edward
What have you done?

This brings back memories.

And why are you just standing there staring?

Hurry up and get out of here, you failure.

Doesn't it make you angry?!

They're calling you a failure!

Our dealings are proceeding without issue.
[10:21] Damien
How is your side faring?
[10:23] Bret
You know what my power is, don't you?
[10:26] Bret
We used the archbishop to lure in Edward.
[10:29] Damien
But his gift is problematic.
[10:32] Damien
He can nullify any other gift
within a radius of one meter.
[10:37] Damien
As his nickname, Disaster, implies,
he's nigh invincible on the battlefield.
[10:42] Damien
He is bound to interfere in our plans.
[10:44] Bret
My father is handling him.
[10:47] Bret
You needn't concern yourself.
[10:49] Bret
Even in a worst-case scenario...
[10:52] Bret
with my special ability,
[10:54] Bret
I can put our plan in motion without
being affected by Edward's gift.
[10:59] Bret
What about on your end?
[11:01] Bret
Will things really work out this time?
[11:03] Bret
You've done nothing but fail before now.

How long are you planning
on playing hide-and-seek?

Radiating bloodlust like that...
Did you think I wouldn't notice?
[12:36] demon B
That just makes things quicker.
[12:38] demon B
You will die here.
[12:40] Akira
You think the likes of you can kill me?
[12:44] demon B
You're right. We'd be unlikely to succeed...
[12:47] demon B
If you were alone, that is.
[12:51] Akira
You'd attack her?
[12:54] demon B
You seem to have the wrong idea.
[13:02] Sara
Hero!
[13:05] Akira
Sara, what's wrong?
[13:07] demon B
Everyone from that village
[13:08] demon B
had our magic sigil inscribed into their body.
[13:11] demon B
It uses their life as fuel for an explosion.
[13:15] demon B
I only need to launch a fireball,
and she detonates.
[13:19] Akira
You...
[13:21] demon B
Will you die in the blast too?

Or will you abandon the child and run?

[14:37] Cyril
Everyone! First, I apologize for startling
you with recent sudden events.
[14:43] Cyril
The reason we stand before you now...
[14:46] Cyril
is to tell all of you the truth.
[14:50] archbishop
This kingdom—no, the gods—are lying to you!
[14:56] archbishop
Gifts are not blessings for us!
[14:58] citizen 7
What does that mean?
[15:00] citizen 8
What's he saying?
[15:01] Cyril
Think about it for a moment.
[15:02] Cyril
What if the gift bestowed
upon you had been different?
[15:06] Cyril
Many of you were disappointed at your
blessing ceremony, were you not?
[15:10] Cyril
"I wanted to become a bread artisan."
[15:12] Cyril
"I wanted to become a traveling merchant
and visit many different lands."
[15:17] Cyril
The thing that fetters your freedom
and decides your life for you is your gift.
[15:22] Cyril
And not one of you chose yours
of your own free will.
[15:27] archbishop
Everyone, we are slaves of the gods!
[15:30] archbishop
They are using these gifts
to control us like puppets!
[15:34] archbishop
But there's one way for us
to escape their grasp.
[15:39] archbishop
And that's to give up our gifts!
[15:42] archbishop
Now is the time to liberate
ourselves from the gods
[15:45] archbishop
and grasp our future with our own hands!
[15:49] citizen 9
But gifts grant us powerful abilities.
[15:51] citizen 11
Gifts are being used to protect the kingdom,
aren't they? What will happen there?
[15:53] citizen 10
To give them up all of a sudden...
[15:55] Cyril
We have prepared an answer
to all of your doubts.
[16:00] Cyril
Come.
[16:03] woman 1
That's Lord Bret.
[16:05] man 1
Lord Bret? You mean from the
ducal house of Westfelt?
[16:12] Bret
Everyone! First, please look over there.
[16:18] crowd
What is that?
[16:20] Bret
Please, don't worry.
That is a sorcerous life-form.
[16:24] Bret
It will become a major asset for us.
[16:27] Cyril
It's as strong as ten thousand soldiers.
[16:31] Cyril
And there are no weaknesses in its defenses.
[16:34] Cyril
That much, we have tested
and verified for ourselves.
[16:38] man 2
If the general says so, then it must be true.
[16:41] man 3
But that one thing can't replace
all of our gifts, can it?
[16:44] Bret
With my ability, Marionette, it's possible!
[16:50] archbishop
Marionette draws forth latent abilities!
[16:55] archbishop
Using this ability, even without your gifts,
[16:59] archbishop
you can harness powers far stronger
than what you have now!
[17:03] archbishop
And whatever abilities it may bring forth,
[17:06] archbishop
they will be powers that already
existed inside you!
[17:09] archbishop
As they differ from gifts,
they will usher us into a new age!
[17:15] woman 2
That would be good if it's true.
[17:18] man 4
So our lives won't be determined
by gifts anymore?
[17:21] woman 3
But what happens after Lord Bret passes away?
[17:24] Bret
You're right.
[17:26] Bret
There is much we will not
be able to do without gifts.
[17:30] Bret
Which is why they will be here for us!
[17:33] citizen 13
What?
[17:34] citizen 14
Who is that?
[17:36] Bret
His appearance will be familiar to you all.
[17:38] Bret
Allow us to show you.
[17:44] citizen 16
That isn't human!
[17:45] Bret
Your surprise is only natural.
[17:47] Bret
This man is one whom the
world should despise.
[17:51] Bret
He is a demon. But please, rest assured.
[17:54] Bret
We have succeeded in forming a cooperative
relationship with the demons!
[17:59] archbishop
We were only able to learn the truth
we just revealed to you with their help!
[18:06] archbishop
The truth which the kingdom hid from us...
[18:08] Archbishop
It was the demons who revealed it!
[18:11] archbishop
And they are the ones who will lend us
the power that will replace our gifts.
[18:16] Bret
We don't need gifts!
[18:18] Bret
Let us join hands with another people
and think of the lives we wish to lead!
[18:23] Bret
Now is the time for us to become free!
[18:30] Bret
That's right. Sing my praises!
[18:34] Bret
You need me!
[18:36] Bret
I am worth more than
anyone else in the world!
[18:52] Craig
It has long been clear
who will win this fight,
[18:55] Craig
but your eyes haven't
clouded in the slightest.
[19:00] Edward
It's because I know.
[19:02] Edward
His gift should be nullified.
[19:05] Edward
But this strength...
[19:09] Edward
I see. It's your level.
[19:11] Craig
So you've finally realized it.
[19:14] Craig
All of you have always
regarded gifts so highly,
[19:16] Craig
but level holds the most meaning.
[19:19] Craig
To raise your level is to raise
the status of your spirit.
[19:24] Craig
In other words,
you become a superior existence,
[19:26] Craig
approaching the gods.
[19:29] Craig
That's right.
[19:30] Craig
Your level can give you
the strength to kill a god!
[19:36] Clark
Gifts are used to manipulate us, is that it?
[19:39] Clark
And what of it?
[19:42] Damien
What?
[19:44] Clark
Even if that's true, we are knights!
[19:48] Clark
If anyone wishes harm upon our kingdom,
we shall stop them!
[19:52] Clark
We remain the shield
of the people and this nation!
[19:56] Damien
You fools.
[19:58] Clark
He disappeared!
[20:04] Clark
This is a one-sided slaughter!
[20:06] Clark
At this rate...
[20:09] knight A
Vice Captain!
[20:10] Clark
Don't lose focus!
[20:12] Damien
Oh dear. With that wound,
you won't be able to do anything.
[20:16] Clark
Don't make me laugh!
[20:17] Damien
You're about to fall in battle
and you'd still defy us?
[20:20] Clark
That's what it means to be a knight!
[20:23] Damien
How utterly foolish.
[20:26] Béatrice
Well, I can't deny that.
[20:31] Béatrice
Knights, myself included,
tend to be fools, you see.
[20:47] Craig
You've already seen the
difference in our strength.
[20:50] Craig
You should just quietly comply.
[20:54] Craig
This is unsightly.
[20:58] Craig
Have you ended the hero?
[21:04] Akira
Ended?
[21:08] Akira
Too bad for you.
[21:10] Craig
H-How are you...
[21:20] (Flashback) demon B
Why isn't she exploding?
[21:24] (Flashback) Akira
It looks like this battle is over.
[21:30] Alan
Oh, and before I forget,
I overwrote the sigil on her.
[21:37] Akira
Man, that guy is just...
[21:40] Akira
Just how much did he know?
[21:43] Bret
With our powers, we can bring
forth all of your abilities!
[21:48] Bret
This world held prisoner
by gifts will face its end!
[21:53] Bret
Very good! This world will
be redrawn by my hand!
[22:00] Alan
You look like you're enjoying yourself.
[22:07] Bret
What are you doing here?
[22:11] Bret
You failure!

The general's assassination
[01:56] Béatrice
and the monsters sent
in an attempt to kill Lise-sama...
[01:59] Béatrice
Both were the doing of you demons
[02:01] Béatrice
working together with the ducal
house of Westfelt, weren't they?
[02:05] Damien
And how did you get wind of that?
[02:08] Béatrice
What is your objective?
[02:10] Damien
Well, as you're destined to die here,
[02:15] Damien
I'll tell you so you can take
the truth to the underworld.
[02:22] Damien
Those who possess powerful gifts,
like the general and princess,
[02:29] Damien
will only get in the way of our plans.
[02:32] Bret
Stop!
[02:34] Damien
We mean to incite the humans into giving up
their gifts of their own free will.
[02:40] Bret
You...
[02:41] Bret
You always, always only ever do
things to provoke me!
[02:47] Bret
Don't interfere with our scheme!
[02:49] crowd 4
He said "scheme"!
[02:51] crowd 5
So it's true?
[02:55] Lise
Please, stop this!
[03:00] crowd 6
Princess Lise!
[03:01] crowd 7
Is it true they tried to kill you?!
[03:04] Lise
Everyone, please listen!
[03:06] Lise
The assassination attempt was real.
[03:08] Lise
As for what attacked me...
[03:10] Lise
They were sorcerous life-forms like that one!
[03:13] crowd 8
So it is true!
[03:14] crowd 9
How terrifying!
[03:14] crowd 10
How could they?
[03:31] Bret
Look at what your meddling has done.
[03:37] Bret
Marionette!
[03:52] Bret
What?
[03:57] Bret
That failure...
[04:00] Bret
Don't get in my way!
[04:08] Lise
Everyone, take shelter!
[04:12] Alan
I wasn't able to look after him much,
so maybe this is partly my fault.
[04:16] Alan
Still...
[04:19] young Alan
The sun is going to set soon. Let's go home.
[04:23] Alan
Even so, if the worst comes to pass
and you choose the wrong path...
[04:28] Alan
I will stop you.
[04:31] Alan
Bret!
[04:33] Bret
Alan!
[04:35] Bret
Who do you think you are, you failure?
[04:40] Bret
What?
[05:00] Lise
Calm yourself.
[05:02] Lise
Everything's fine now.
[05:05] Alan
Lise, can I leave the rest to you?
[05:08] Lise
Yes.
[05:10] Alan
You don't need to look so worried.
[05:14] Alan
I'm going to stop him.
[05:16] Lise
Won't it be painful for you?
[05:21] Craig
As the heir to the Westfelt family,
you are more than a disappointment.
[05:25] Craig
You are a failure who sullies our
family name and brings shame upon it.
[05:30] Alan
I may be a failure, but I have...
[05:35] Alan
I'll be all right.
[05:50] Damien
So it's that girl Horace
reared from infancy...
[05:54] Béatrice
She's now our ally,
and a heartening one at that!
[05:58] Mylène
We're allies!
[06:00] Damien
If their abilities are roughly equivalent,
[06:04] Damien
then she must be formidable.
[06:06] Damien
For now, we should probably...
[06:09] Mylène
Not so fast!
[06:24] Béatrice
Is everyone unharmed?
[06:26] Clark
Yes, though there's much I'd like to ask you.
[06:32] Clark
Thank you.
[06:34] Béatrice
It's been a while, hasn't it,
Vice Captain Clark?
[06:38] Béatrice
However...
[06:39] Béatrice
we have no time for reminiscing now.
[06:43] Béatrice
This isn't the only place
the demons are attacking.
[06:47] Béatrice
To sow chaos in the capital,
they're hitting several spots at once.
[06:51] Béatrice
Anyone who can still move,
lend me your strength!
[06:54] Clark
It is our duty to act as the shield
of this kingdom and its people.
[06:58] Clark
We will happily lend you our aid.
[07:01] Béatrice
You have my thanks.
[07:02] Noelle
You there! Are you planning to go fight
in such a battered state?
[07:08] Noelle
I had a feeling this might happen,
so I brought every weapon I could.
[07:14] Clark
You've all thought of everything.
[07:17] Clark
We're most grateful.
[07:18] Noelle
That Alan... He really
works people to the bone.
[07:30] Akira
This is bad.
[07:32] Akira
The way he's moving isn't normal, is it?
[07:35] Akira
It's like he knows what we're going to do.
[07:39] Edward
His gift is called...
[07:42] Edward
Undertaker.
[07:45] Edward
It allows him to see the future.
[07:49] Edward
But it requires a lot of concentration,
[07:53] Edward
so it isn't something that
can be used in battle.
[07:55] Edward
Craig, you crave power that badly?
[07:59] Edward
Mariel wouldn't have wanted this.
[08:02] Craig
I kept foreseeing her death!
[08:06] Craig
I saw it again and again!
[08:09] Craig
When I tried to avoid that future,
there were things I was able to change.
[08:14] Craig
But no matter what I did...
[08:16] Craig
her death was the one thing I couldn't stop!
[08:22] Mariel
Craig, you've done enough for me.
[08:28] Craig
I was utterly powerless.
[08:32] Craig
I lost hope so many times.
[08:36] Craig
Her life was a mere plaything
before gifts... No, before the gods!
[08:44] Craig
Mariel's gift, Holy Grail,
or "Sacred Mother" as it's known,
[08:48] Craig
consigned her to the fate
of giving birth to a hero.
[08:54] Craig
But the son she birthed...
[08:56] Craig
wasn't granted so much as a gift!
[08:58] Craig
He was a failure!
[09:01] Craig
What did Mariel die for?
[09:05] Craig
If her fate was devised by the gods,
[09:08] Craig
then all gifts, this whole world...
[09:12] Craig
should just disappear!
[09:16] Akira
Quit griping about all that!
[09:20] Akira
Basically, you can't get over the fact
you lost someone dear to you, right?
[09:25] Craig
You're right. Perhaps I've dwelled
too much on things that weren't important.
[09:34] Craig
In exchange for the light of my life force,
[09:37] Craig
grant me power!
[09:42] Akira
Take this...
[09:43] Akira
and wake up!
[09:45] Craig
You will burn!
[09:48] Akira
Azure Lightning!
[09:51] Akira
Blast it! Our powers are evenly matched!
[09:54] Craig
Blot her out!
[10:05] Edward
Craig!
[10:07] Edward
Your power...
[10:11] Edward
Is it coming from demons?
[10:13] Edward
Stop! If you use that power any
more than you already have...
[10:17] Edward
you won't be yourself anymore!
[10:20] Craig
What of it?
[10:25] Akira
Mister!
[10:35] Edward
The darkness is swallowing me.
[10:39] Edward
Rage. Grief. Sorrow.
[10:43] Edward
Craig, these are your...
[10:58] Edward
My friend, I'm so sorry.
[11:08] Edward
Crai—
[11:32] Craig
I won't allow anyone to claim
they understand what's in my heart!
[11:37] Akira
Cut the crap!
[11:39] Akira
Right up until the end,
he was thinking of you!
[11:44] Craig
So?
[11:46] Craig
So what if he was?
[11:49] Craig
It's your turn to die next, Hero!
[11:57] Akira
Blast it!
[12:05] Alan
Hey there.
[12:09] Alan
Sorry I took so long.
[12:12] Craig
Of all the people to come interfere...

To think it would be you!

You are offensive in my
sight no matter what you do.

[12:59] Craig
Just who are you?!
[13:05] Alan
You already know. After all, you're

[13:09] Alan
I'm a failure, right?
[13:12] Craig
So you understand, then.
[13:15] Alan
Even if I'm a failure, there are
people I simply won't abandon.

And I'm certain that Mother
never would have wanted this.

[14:37] Alan
I had no idea.
[14:39] Alan
He...
[14:41] Alan
showered her with so much love.
[14:44] Alan
No, maybe it was that
I tried to keep myself from seeing it.
[14:56] Alan
A person's weakness
can change them in an instant.
[15:01] Alan
I know that pain all too well.
[15:06] Alan
I looked away.

I avoided getting involved.

It's no different from being trapped in anger.

There's nothing on the
other side of it, is there?

Father, thank you for teaching me that.

[19:07] king
You have rendered us a great
service, and in recognition...
[19:12] king
you are hereby granted the
title of Duke of Westfelt.
[19:21] Alan
I respectfully decline.
[19:29] retainer
Are you sure of this, sire?
[19:32] king
It makes no matter.
I anticipated that response.
[19:35] king
I've heard plenty about him, you see.

Father!
[19:42] (Flashback) young Lise
Alan-kun and I talked lots!
[19:44] (Flashback) young Lise
May I tell you about it?
[19:46] (Flashback) king
Yes, please tell me everything.
[19:50] king
He protected this kingdom and
my most precious treasure.
[19:58] king
This is the greatest honor I can bestow.
[20:03] Noelle
You're coming to Granholm?
[20:05] Alan
Whatever anyone might say,
that place is pretty convenient.
[20:09] Lise
Everyone!
[20:11] Lise
I've finally found you!
[20:14] Lise
I was hoping that you would
take me with you, too.
[20:18] Alan
What?
[20:21] Lise
For the good of my domain, too.
[20:24] Lise
I have a slightly different
name now, you know?
[20:28] Lise
I'm Lise Westfelt.
[20:32] Noelle
What? What?! Lise, you...
[20:34] Mylène
Does this mean you've taken
responsibility for Westfelt?
[20:38] Alan
If it's already been decided,
I guess there's nothing I can do.
[20:41] Lise
Indeed! There's nothing to be done about it.
[20:44] Noelle
Wait, where's Béatrice?
[20:46] Lise
She was originally a guard
to the immediate royal family.
[20:52] Lise
And since I'm no longer in that family,
she's no longer in service to me.
[20:56] Lise
It seems she's trying everything she can.
[20:56] Béatrice; background
Please! Isn't there any way?
Please! Please! Please! Please!
[20:59] Alan
Huh? Are you sure you shouldn't wait for her?
[21:02] Lise
It's all right! We're talking
about Béatrice, after all.
[21:06] (Flashback) Béatrice
Lise-sama!
[21:08] Alan
Then you're really on your own, Lise?
[21:10] Lise
Yes. I'll feel much safer
if you're with me, Alan-kun.
[21:18] Alan
In this world...
[21:20] Alan
there are still people who need me.
[21:24] Alan
Even if I'm not a hero...
[21:25] Alan
Even if I am a failure...
[21:28] Alan
Even if I'm no one important...
[21:32] Mylène
What's wrong?
[21:33] Noelle
We're leaving now.
[21:35] Lise
Alan-kun!
[21:37] Alan
Yeah. Let's go!
[21:41] Noelle
Man, this kingdom is impressive!
[21:44] Noelle
Giving out such a huge reward like that...
[21:46] Alan
Even after buying a nice mansion,
you'd still probably be set for life.
[21:50] Noelle
In that case, I'm going to be a layabout!
[21:51] Mylène
Layabout!
[21:53] Lise
That's not fair!
[21:56] Henriette
Honestly, I take one little peek
and what do I find?
[22:00] Henriette
He's not all right at all.
[22:08] Henriette
I don't know why he bothered
to reincarnate at this point.
[22:12] Henriette
He just can't help himself.

[00:00] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
I'm sorry.
[00:03] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
We... I didn't make you a hero with the
intention of making you feel this way.
[00:09] (Flashback) Hero Alan
Why are you apologizing?
[00:12] (Flashback) Hero Alan
It was my own obstinacy that landed me here.
[00:16] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
You are the reason we were able to hold on
to that which could have been lost
[00:20] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
and countless people were spared bitter tears.
[00:24] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
You were exactly the sort
of hero I wished for.
[00:29] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
Now, tell me your wish...
[00:32] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
our hero.
[00:40] Alan
What a nostalgic dream.
[00:47] Lise
Alan-kun! Good morning.
[00:50] Alan
Morning.
[00:52] Lise
Breakfast is ready.
Why don't we eat together?
[00:55] Alan
Where are the other two?
[00:57] Lise
They haven't woken yet.
[00:59] Lise
I was thinking of going to get them soon.
[01:02] Lise
Good morning!
[01:09] Alan
Could you at least get dressed
before coming out?
[01:12] Noelle
What does it matter?
[01:14] Noelle
You've seen me in an
even more compromising state.
[01:17] Lise
A-A compromising state?!
[01:19] Lise
Wh-Wh-Wh-What does she mean, Alan-kun?!
[01:24] Lise
What compromising state?!
[01:25] Alan
When will I find the sort of peace I seek?
[01:25] Lise
Do you like that sort of thing?
[01:27] Lise
Alan-kun, answer me!
[01:31] Lise
So, basically...
[01:32] Lise
she got hot working at the forge,
so she took off some clothes, and that's all?
[01:36] Alan
I didn't count myself lucky
for seeing it, either.
[01:39] Noelle
What's that supposed to mean? It's not like
I do that in front of just anyone.
[01:44] Alan
Yes, of course. I consider myself honored.
[01:46] Noelle
Alan, hurry up and eat.
[01:49] Noelle
You're testing out my new
sword today, aren't you?
[01:52] Lise
What?
[01:53] Lise
But what about your promise to help
me with ducal house paperwork?
[01:56] Mylène
You're supposed to take
a nap with Mylène today.
[01:59] Alan
Huh? Did I make all those promises?
[02:03] Alan
It's just, um...
[02:05] Nadia
Alan-dono!
[02:07] Nadia
Alan-dono, why do you never
show your face at the guild?
[02:12] Nadia
Just look at how the requests
for you have piled up, Alan-dono!
[02:17] Alan
Even so, I...
[02:19] Nadia
Come with me this instant!
[02:21] Alan
Wait!
[02:21] Noelle
Hold it right there!
[02:23] Noelle
Alan is supposed to test my sword!
[02:26] Lise
And there's the paperwork!
[02:27] Mylène
Our nap, too.
[02:29] Lise
Now, Alan-kun, come with me!
[02:32] Nadia
There's a swarm of powerful monsters
that only Alan-dono can defeat!
[02:36] Nadia
The place is in chaos!
[02:38] Noelle
How is that my problem?
[02:41] Lise
Alan-kun, I've been so
looking forward to this!
[02:43] Alan
Ow, ow, ow!
[02:46] Mylène
Alan is going to take a nap with Mylène.
[02:50] Alan
Um, what about how I feel about all this?
[02:57] Alan
I somehow managed to do it all.
I'm exhausted.
[03:02] Alan
But I guess this is one way
to live in peace...
[03:10] (Flashback) Lise
What? You're going to travel to the empire?
[03:13] (Flashback) Alan
I thought it'd be a good change of pace.
[03:16] (Flashback) Alan
And if I find somewhere that seems
nice to live, I might settle there.
[03:20] (Flashback) Lise
I see...
[03:23] (Flashback) Mylène
The empire?
[03:24] (Flashback) Noelle
The Victour Empire.
[03:26] (Flashback) Noelle
We have a truce right now,
[03:28] (Flashback) Noelle
but they're a major power
neighboring this kingdom.
[03:31] (Flashback) Noelle
I've heard they've got lots
of skilled dwarven smiths.
[03:34] (Flashback) Noelle
I should learn a lot there!
[03:37] (Flashback) Alan
Why are you talking
like you're coming with me?
[03:40] (Flashback) Mylène
Mylène is going too.
[03:43] (Flashback) Noelle
What's another one
or two people on the journey?
[03:47] (Flashback) Noelle
With you of all people, it's not like
we'd be much of a burden.
[03:50] (Flashback) Alan
Well, I can't deny that.
[03:53] (Flashback) Noelle
Then it's decided!
[03:56] (Flashback) Alan
Lise, what will you do?
[03:58] (Flashback) Lise
I have work to do for the duchy, so...

The Imperial Marquis's Daughter
[05:36] Lise; Mylène; Noelle
And we're off!
[05:40] Lise
Take care of the duchy for me!
[05:44] Béatrice
Lise-sama...
[05:47] Béatrice
Lise-sama, take care of yourself!
[05:53] Noelle
Are you sure it's okay for you to come?
[05:55] Noelle
You may not be a princess anymore,
but you're in charge of the duchy.
[06:00] Lise
That's precisely my motivation.
[06:03] Lise
The empire continues to harbor
ambitions of uniting the continent.
[06:06] Lise
Half a year ago, the chaos within our kingdom
provided them the perfect chance to act,
[06:09] Lise
and yet they showed no sign of movement.
[06:12] Lise
The House of Westfelt is charged with
protecting the kingdom's borders.
[06:16] Lise
As its head, I must gain a true understanding
of the empire's internal state of affairs!
[06:20] Noelle
You could have at least had Béatrice
accompany you as a guard.
[06:20] Béatrice
Lise-sama! Lise-sama!
[06:25] Lise
She said that if Alan-kun was with me,
she'd rest easier
[06:27] Lise
than if she accompanied me herself.
[06:30] Noelle
Well, that's fair enough.
[06:32] Alan
That's a lot of responsibility.
[06:35] Lise
I'll be counting on you, Alan-kun.
[06:54] Noelle
Honestly! I can't get any rest at all!
[06:58] Noelle
There really isn't a smoother road somewhere?
[07:01] Lise
The empire is surrounded by
mountain ranges and deserts.
[07:04] Lise
The paths in are very limited.
[07:19] Lise
Alan-kun, is something wrong?
[07:22] Alan
Yeah. This might be a little tricky.
[07:27] Lise
Those are...
[07:29] Lise
sand wolves!
[07:30] Noelle
I've heard of those.
[07:32] Noelle
Cross them, and you're as good as dead.
[07:35] Noelle
They're also known as Desert Reapers.
[07:38] Mylène
No escape.
[07:49] Alan
Now, shall we get going?
[07:51] Noelle
Well, it is Alan we're talking about.
[07:53] Lise
It is Alan-kun, after all.
[07:54] Mylène
Of course Alan can handle them.
[07:56] Alan
I'd like a little bit of gratitude
every now and then.
[08:00] Alan
Still...
[08:02] Alan
that was the perfect terrain
to engage any intruders,
[08:05] Alan
and we find Desert Reapers there?
[08:06] Alan
Who could be manipulating things this time?
[08:23] Lise
Incredible! This town is so far from the
imperial capital, yet it's still so lively!
[08:28] Mylène
That's the empire for you.
[08:29] Noelle
A smithy! Where is there a smithy?
[08:32] Lise
Alan-kun, is something wrong?
[08:34] Alan
No. I was just thinking that the
atmosphere is a little intimidating.
[08:40] Alan
I know that this is a border town,
but I feel like there are too many guards.
[08:45] Noelle
You're overthinking things.
[08:47] Alan
I hope that's all it is.
[08:51] Alan
I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where—
[08:54] Alan
Henriette.
[08:56] Henriette
Alan?
[08:58] Alan
It's been a while.
[09:00] Henriette
What are you doing in a place like this?
[09:03] Alan
I'd like to ask you the same thing.
[09:06] Alan
For the daughter of a marquis to wander
around town without a single attendant...
[09:10] Alan
What circumstances could
have led to this, I wonder?
[09:14] Henriette
None of your business!
[09:16] Henriette
And let go of me already!
[09:19] Alan
Sorry.
[09:20] Noelle
What? Is this cute girl
an acquaintance of yours?
[09:24] Mylène
Take that.
[09:26] Lise
You're Lady Henriette from
Marquis Lindqvist's family, aren't you?
[09:30] Henriette
Princess Lise Adoastella...
[09:33] Henriette
No, now you're the head of the
duchy of Westfelt, aren't you?
[09:37] Henriette
What brings such an esteemed
personage here to the empire?
[09:41] Lise
Well...
[09:43] Lise
We're sightseeing!
[09:45] Henriette
You're majorly bad at lying.
[09:48] Henriette
It doesn't really matter.
[09:50] Henriette
No further questions
about why you've come here,
[09:54] Henriette
but a warning for you...
[09:56] Alan
A warning?
[09:58] Henriette
The empire is smoldering with embers that
could ignite and turn the country on its head.
[10:04] Henriette
You should head home to your kingdom
before you get caught up in it.
[10:08] Noelle
What? We only just got here!
[10:11] Alan
You say to head home, but I'm pretty
much a rootless wanderer right now.
[10:14] Henriette
What if you were told that the
Black Wolf Knights are on the move?
[10:17] Henriette
Would that tell you how dire things are?
[10:20] Alan
The Black Wolf Knights?
[10:22] Noelle
Who are they?
[10:23] Henriette
The empire has authorized them
to mobilize at their own discretion.
[10:27] Henriette
They are the most feared unit
in all the empire.
[10:31] Henriette
It's best to have nothing
to do with their lot.
[10:36] Henriette
And so...
[10:38] Henriette
Henriette will now take her leave.
[10:40] Henriette
Please go home as soon as you can!
[10:43] Alan
Thanks for the warning!
[10:45] Noelle
Sounds like we came at a terrible time.
[10:48] Lise
Bad enough the empire could
be turned on its head...
[10:51] Lise
What in the world is happening here?
[10:57] Lise
Alan-kun?
[10:58] Alan
I'll be right back!
Go ahead and see the sights!
[11:10] Lise
Shall we go sightseeing?
[11:18] Alan
Henriette!
[11:20] Henriette
Have you some other business here?
[11:21] Alan
Yes, but not with you, Henriette.
[11:25] Henriette
Huh?
[11:25] Alan
I know you're you, but it's the disciple
of the gods that I want to speak with.
[11:31] Alan
Your warning earlier...
Was that as the daughter of the marquis?
[11:35] Alan
Or was it as a disciple of the gods?
[11:38] Henriette
In our last life, you had a disciple
always telling you what to do,
[11:42] Henriette
but in this world,
all you have is a girl named Henriette.
[11:47] Alan
But you still have your powers
as a disciple, don't you?
[11:50] Henriette
With certain limitations.
[11:54] Henriette
What is it?
[11:55] Alan
I was just wondering how you also ended up
in this world in the first place.
[12:03] Henriette
It's almost like your destiny
is to be drawn into trouble,
[12:07] Henriette
so consider this a bonus!
[12:10] Alan
So, basically, you were worried about me and—
[12:12] Henriette
In any case!
[12:14] Henriette
If you want to live peacefully,
[12:16] Henriette
then hurry up and go home!
[12:20] Alan
All right.
[12:22] Alan
Henriette...
[12:25] Alan
Thanks.
[12:27] Henriette
A-As long as you understand.
[12:33] Alan
I need to rejoin the others as soon as I can.
[12:38] crowd 1
What was that?
[12:39] crowd 2
Oh man...
[12:40] crowd 3
An explosion?
[12:41] crowd 4
What happened?
[12:42] Alan
She was right. Looks like things
are about to flare up.
[12:51] knights
There! Don't let him get away!
[12:55] man
Outta the way!
[12:57] Alan
Destined to be drawn into trouble, huh?
[13:00] Alan
Guess she's not really wrong about that.
[13:06] Alan
Now, if I hand him over
to the guards like this,
[13:08] Alan
they're bound to ask lots of questions.
[13:11] Alan
What should I do?
[13:25] Alan
That was the work of demons!
[13:26] Lizette
That man was the suspected culprit
in that explosion earlier.
[13:34] Lizette
Now, what sort of situation do we have here?
SIGN THE BANISHED FORMER HERO
LIVES AS HE PLEASES
[13:50] Lizette
Mind telling me what happened here?
[13:53] Alan
First, in my defense,
[13:55] Alan
he attacked me. I merely counterattacked.
[13:58] Alan
I didn't kill him.
[14:00] Lizette
Your story doesn't seem
to line up very well with the evidence.
[14:04] Lizette
How did you kill him so gruesomely
without using a weapon or your gift?
[14:09] Alan
How can you tell I didn't use a gift?
[14:12] Lizette
Mine is a little unusual, you see.
[14:14] Lizette
I can see what gifts others have used.
[14:18] Alan
Really?
[14:19] Lizette
By the way, do you know
about the existence of demons?
[14:22] Alan
Of course.
[14:23] Lizette
The powers they use resemble gifts,
but they're altogether different.
[14:27] Lizette
Meaning that I can't see them when used.
[14:32] Alan
I'm not a demon.
[14:34] Alan
Though I don't suppose you'll
believe me even if I say that.
[14:37] Lizette
Not a chance, unless you can prove it.
[14:40] Alan
So, a real-life devil's proof issue, then?
[14:43] Lizette
If you're not a demon, then I'm very sorry.
[14:46] Lizette
But as a knight who protects this realm,
I can't simply look the other way.
[14:51] Alan
This is a problem.
[14:53] Alan
If I fight and defeat her,
that'd be like provoking the empire.
[14:57] Alan
If I try to run, she seems like
she'd really make that hard for me.
[15:02] Lizette
Now then, you'll be coming with us.
[15:09] Lizette
That was a mistake!
[15:11] black wolf A
Captain!
[15:13] Lizette
Close the borders immediately!
[15:15] black wolf A
Yes, right away!
[15:19] Lizette
If the kingdom learns of this incident,
it would be a disaster.
[15:28] Alan
You really saved me, Mylène.
[15:31] Alan
But how did you know I was in trouble?
[15:34] Henriette
Alan!
[15:37] Henriette
I swear, you're so...
[15:38] Alan
Henriette?
[15:40] Henriette
Right after you were warned,
you went and got yourself in trouble!
[15:44] Alan
What do you mean?
[15:46] Lise
Just as we started to worry because you
were gone too long, Henriette came by.
[15:56] (Flashback) Lise
Alan-kun is taking a while, isn't he?
[15:58] (Flashback) Mylène
That's the twentieth cow, isn't it?
[16:00] (Flashback) Noelle
Should we really go sightseeing?
Or should we go looking—
[16:03] (Flashback) Henriette
No need for that.
[16:06] (Flashback) Lise
Lady Henriette?
[16:07] (Flashback) Henriette
However, you're gonna be
lending us your power.
[16:12] (Flashback) Mylène
Mylène?
[16:15] Alan
I see.
[16:17] Alan
Mylène's gift is Copycat.
[16:19] Alan
Her power is demonic in nature,
[16:21] Alan
so she was able to evade that knight's gaze.
[16:24] Alan
Very impressive, Henriette.
[16:26] Mylène
Did Mylène do well, too?
[16:28] Alan
You did very, very well.
[16:31] Alan
Now, we should hurry up
and leave this country.
[16:34] Henriette
You don't appreciate your situation, do you?
[16:36] Alan
What?
[16:37] Henriette
All of the roads leading to your
kingdom have already been closed.
[16:42] Lise
That can't be!
[16:43] Alan
Which means that we won't be
able to go back for a while.
[16:47] Noelle
Can't we slip through
using Mylène's invisibility?
[16:50] Alan
The knights aren't stupid. I don't think
they'll fall for the same trick twice.
[16:55] Lise
And with this many people,
the strain on Mylène would be significant.
[17:04] Henriette
Why are you looking at Henriette?
[17:07] Alan
I was thinking you might
be able to do something.
[17:10] Henriette
Y-You're pretty presumptuous, aren't you?
[17:13] Henriette
Although it's not as if
there isn't a potential plan...
[17:20] Henriette
This is Henriette's home.
[17:25] Silas
Welcome home, my lady.
[17:28] Silas
Who are your guests?
[17:29] Henriette
They aren't guests, but please
treat them as though they are.
[17:33] Silas
As you wish.
[17:36] Silas
Lord Alan?
[17:37] Alan
Wait, Silas?
[17:38] Lise
Do you know him?
[17:41] Alan
Before I was kicked out of House Westfelt,
Silas was the head butler there.
[17:46] Silas
I am happy to see you again, Lord Alan.
[17:49] Alan
I'm glad to see you're looking well!
[17:51] Alan
I was worried where you might've ended up.
[17:54] Silas
When we servants quit
House Westfelt in protest,
[17:58] Silas
this kindhearted young lady welcomed us here.
[18:03] Henriette
Enough about that! That's enough!
[18:05] Henriette
Hurry up and show these guys around!
[18:08] Silas
As you wish.
[18:13] Noelle
It's so fluffy!
[18:14] Mylène
Fluffy, fluffy!
[18:16] Lise
Stop that, you two!
[18:17] Henriette
Please, make yourselves at home.
[18:20] Henriette
Only Henriette lives here, after all.
[18:22] Alan
You live in this huge mansion all alone?
[18:25] Henriette
Henriette is an only child,
and her parents are long gone.
[18:29] Henriette
Apparently, there was
an accident some time ago.
[18:32] Lise
I'm so sorry.
[18:34] Noelle
You make it sound so impersonal.
[18:36] Alan
Well, getting straight to business,
what's going on in this country?
[18:41] Alan
All those guards, the closed border,
the Black Wolf Knights...
[18:47] Henriette
The emperor has been assassinated.
[18:51] Henriette
It happened over a year ago.
[18:54] Lise
So that's why the empire didn't make
a move when the kingdom was in trouble.
[19:00] Henriette
We're too busy dealing with our own problems.
[19:03] Noelle
Hang on, hang on!
[19:04] Noelle
Should you be blabbing such vital
information to outsiders like this?
[19:09] Noelle
You're the daughter
of an imperial marquis, aren't you?
[19:12] Mylène
Should we pretend we didn't hear?
[19:15] Henriette
Henriette knows that you aren't people
who'd carelessly speak someone's secrets.
[19:21] Lise
You know that?
[19:22] Henriette
In any case, you should stay here
and relax until the commotion dies down.
[19:32] Alan
I wish you'd at least
come in through the door.
[19:36] Henriette
What's the harm? We've been stuck with
each other since our last life, after all.
[19:41] Alan
This is all the doing of the demons, isn't it?
[19:44] Henriette
Most likely.
[19:46] Henriette
The emperor was under
the strictest of guards.
[19:49] Henriette
The only ones who could assassinate
him without leaving a single trace...
[19:52] Henriette
would be them or you.
[19:54] Alan
In that case, you could too,
right, Henriette?
[19:57] Henriette
Snuffing out the emperor wouldn't
be of any benefit to Henriette.
[20:02] Alan
So, how long have you been watching?
[20:04] Henriette
What do you mean?
[20:06] Alan
You don't have to play dumb.
[20:08] Alan
You've been watching me all this time, right?
[20:12] Alan
If not, you wouldn't have been there
to hire Silas and the others.
[20:16] Alan
Also, bumping into me right after
I entered the empire...
[20:19] Alan
That's too coincidental to be a coincidence.
[20:22] Henriette
C-Coincidences are coincidental!
[20:26] Alan
That's true.
[20:32] Alan
Henriette?
[20:33] Henriette
Henriette is returning to her room.
[20:36] Alan
Right.
[20:37] Alan
Good night.
[20:47] Henriette
So, you really can smile now.
[20:52] Henriette
Alan, you were worthy
of a hero's power and mission.
[20:56] Henriette
I knew you had that sort
of strong, unyielding heart.
[21:00] Henriette
However...
[21:02] Henriette
The looks of fear the people turned on you,
[21:04] Henriette
their ostracizing words...
[21:06] Henriette
They hurt you so deeply.
[21:09] Henriette
They broke your heart.
[21:13] Henriette
That's right.
[21:15] Henriette
I couldn't help wondering about you.
[21:17] Henriette
I was worried about you.
[21:20] Henriette
That's why I reincarnated into this world.
[21:24] Henriette
At the very least...
[21:26] Henriette
I wanted you to be happy in your next life...
[21:30] Henriette
I never wanted you to feel that way again,
[21:34] Henriette
so I've been watching over you.
[21:37] Henriette
Always.
[21:52] Henriette
So when you met someone who
could make you smile, I...
[21:58] Henriette
was so happy.
[22:03] Henriette
Even if...
[22:05] Henriette
the fact that it wasn't me
upsets me a little.

[00:02] Noelle
I'm bored!
[00:03] Noelle
Bored! Bored! Bored! Bored!
Bored! Bored! Bored!
[00:06] Noelle
I'm so bored!
[00:09] Noelle
Where are the empire's best blades?
[00:11] Noelle
Where are the dwarven workshops?
[00:13] Noelle
I want to see a smithy.
I want to forge a sword.
[00:17] Henriette
You can give up on that. The town is under
the strictest of guards right now.
[00:23] Noelle
Say it isn't so...
[00:25] Henriette
That aside, there's somewhere you—
[00:29] Lise
Noelle has begun forging an invisible sword!
[00:32] Noelle
The best blades. Dwarven workshops.
The best blades.
[00:35] Lise
This is dire!
[00:39] Alan
But, you know...
[00:41] Alan
I'm the one the Black Wolf Knights
are after, right?
[00:44] Alan
If Noelle goes into town alone, it shouldn't
be too dangerous, should it?
[00:49] Henriette
That's true enough, but...
[00:51] Alan
Or do you have some sort of plan for us?
[00:54] Henriette
N-Nothing in particular.
[00:56] Noelle
What? It's all right for me to go into town?
[00:59] Henriette
You might as well.
[01:02] Noelle
All right!

[02:36] Noelle
An outing! An outing!
[02:45] Noelle
Myléne, thank you for coming with me.
[02:47] Myléne
I'm your bodyguard, Noelle.
[02:49] Noelle
How reassuring!
[03:00] Noelle
We've still got tons to go see!
[03:02] Myléne
Yeah!
[03:04] Noelle
Although...
[03:05] Noelle
I can't help noticing
there are a lot of elves here.
[03:08] Noelle
And does it feel like they're staring at us?
[03:11] Noelle
Oh, could it be...
[03:13] Noelle
that I'm just too cute?
[03:16] Noelle
Oh, what should I do? What if someone
suddenly comes up to talk to me?
[03:19] Noelle
What if they ask me to forge
a sword with them?
[03:22] Noelle
Am I a popular elf?
[03:24] elf A
Um...
[03:27] elf A
Never mind!
[03:31] elf B
Excuse me.
[03:33] elf C
May I have a moment?
[03:37] Myléne
Noelle, this place is dangerous!
[03:39] Noelle
Wait, Myléne! Let go!
[03:42] Noelle
I'm exhausted...
[03:45] Myléne
Did Myléne do a good job?
[03:47] Noelle
Yes, you did great.
[03:51] Alan
Sounds like quite an ordeal.
[03:53] Noelle
It didn't exactly make me feel bad, though.
[03:57] Lise
Well, you are cute, Noelle.
[03:59] Lise
It's no wonder the other
elves wouldn't leave you alone.
[04:02] Noelle
It's criminal to have so little
self-awareness, isn't it?
[04:05] Noelle
From now on, I'll appreciate that
I'm so highly admired—
[04:07] Henriette
That's not it at all.
[04:08] Noelle
That's blunt!
[04:11] Henriette
Though you're not wrong about them
taking an interest in you specifically.
[04:15] Noelle
What's that supposed to mean?
[04:18] Henriette
Do you want to know more about yourself?
[04:21] Noelle
Huh? Well...
[04:24] Noelle
I do want to know, but I
remember nothing of my past.
[04:29] Henriette
Then come along.
[04:31] Henriette
Henriette will show you the way.
[04:33] Noelle
The way to where?
[04:38] Noelle
To the Elven Forest.
[04:41] Henriette
This place looks good.
[04:43] Noelle
Does it? Where's the forest?
[04:46] Henriette
Just watch.
[05:07] Henriette
This is the Elven Forest.
[05:12] Lise
But we were just at the mansion...
[05:15] Henriette
We still are.
[05:17] Lise
What?
[05:18] Henriette
Just in a slightly different dimension.
[05:20] Lise
I-I see.
[05:22] Alan
The Elven Forest was hidden with barrier magic
because they were wary of outside enemies, right?
[05:28] Henriette
Exactly.
[05:30] Henriette
And to keep people from finding out about it,
[05:33] Henriette
they wipe the memory of anyone who
leaves the forest, without exception.
[05:36] Henriette
But Henriette has been granted
the right to enter the forest.
[05:41] Noelle
So is that why I don't have
any of my old memories?
[05:45] Henriette
It's possible, don't you think?
[05:48] Alan
I'm surprised, though.
[05:50] Alan
To think that the elves could construct a
barrier so powerful that I couldn't sense it...
[05:54] Alan
Were you involved by any chance, Henriette?
[05:57] Henriette
W-Well, you know.
Perhaps a bit here and there.
[06:02] Alan
I see.
[06:04] Henriette
Let's hurry along now.
[06:07] Henriette
The settlement is this way.
[06:19] Lise
Noelle, is something wrong?
[06:21] Noelle
Yes, but I don't know how to explain it.
[06:24] Noelle
I have this sense that this is where I belong.
[06:28] Noelle
It feels nostalgic somehow.
[06:32] Lise
I'm sure that the forest where you
were born was as lovely as this one.
[06:47] Noelle
Wh-Who are all of you?
[06:49] Alan
It's all right. They don't seem
to have any hostile intent.
[06:52] Henriette
Of course not. After all...
[06:57] Henriette
their sovereign has returned.
[06:59] Noelle
S-Sovereign?
[07:01] Percival
Welcome home, my liege.
[07:05] elves
Welcome home.
[07:07] Noelle
Wh-What? Me? You mean me?
[07:11] Percival
We have awaited your return
with all our hearts.
[07:16] Alan
Oh, I get it.
The eyes of the fairy sovereign.
[07:19] Noelle
The eyes of the fairy sovereign?
[07:22] Noelle
That demonic man who
attacked us mentioned that.
[07:25] Henriette
The eyes of the fairy sovereign, Grahm Sight,
are only possessed by the elven royal family.
[07:30] Henriette
It's a special gift.
[07:32] Noelle
You're saying... I'm descended from royalty?
[07:37] Henriette
And the royal bloodline has all but ended.
[07:41] Henriette
So, to these people, their sovereign is...
[07:43] Noelle
Me?
[07:46] Percival
I serve as the sovereign's regent.
My name is Percival.
[07:49] Percival
My liege and your honored friends,
welcome to the Elven Forest.
[07:54] Noelle
W-W-Wait!
[07:55] Noelle
You're really putting me on the spot,
just suddenly treating me like your ruler.
[07:59] Percival
Indeed. We have no intention
of rushing your decision.
[08:02] Percival
Let's begin by having you
get to know us better.
[08:06] Percival
Please, right this way.
[08:08] Percival
I shall show you around the forest.
[08:21] Percival
This is our settlement.
[08:23] Alan
Elves are as free and uninhibited
as I've heard.
[08:27] Myléne
A nap would be nice.
[08:28] Lise
Still, I didn't expect
[08:30] Lise
to see human tools
and furniture in the Elven Forest.
[08:35] Percival
Oh, it was Henriette-dono
who brought those for us and—
[08:38] Henriette
Percival!
[08:40] Percival
N-Never mind.
[08:44] Percival
My liege, what do you think
of our way of life?
[08:48] Noelle
I'm not your liege yet.
[08:51] Percival
My apologies, my liege.
[08:56] demon child A
My liege!
[08:59] Noelle
Yes? What is it?
[09:01] demon child A
Here! A present for you, my liege!
[09:04] demon child B
We gathered lots of them!
[09:06] Noelle
Oh, how delightful!
[09:08] Noelle
I'll take this one and this one.
[09:11] demon child A
Tomorrow, we'll bring you
something even more amazing!
[09:14] Noelle
Okay! I'm looking forward to it.
[09:20] Percival
Now then, our liege is in
the middle of an inspection.
[09:23] Percival
Run along.
[09:24] demon child A; B
Yes, sir!
[09:28] Percival
Phillip, that means you, too.
[09:32] Percival
Honestly. You've been following us this whole
time trying to get a closer look at our liege.
[09:37] Phillip
That's because...
[09:38] Percival
Now, go and play with the other children.
[09:40] Percival
Our liege is busy.
[09:42] Noelle
If you'd like to chat a little, I don't mind.
[09:46] Percival
No. There will be no end to it.
[09:48] Phillip
But the other kids got to talk to her!
[09:51] Percival
Phillip.
[09:52] Phillip
It's no fair! I can't, but they can?
[09:55] Phillip
They're bad guys!
[09:58] Phillip
After all, they're—
[10:00] Percival
Phillip!
[10:07] Percival
My apologies.
[10:08] Noelle
What was that just now?
What did he mean by "bad guys"?
[10:11] Percival
It's nothing.
[10:12] Percival
Now, let's proceed.
[10:14] Percival
Up ahead, there is a beautiful water source.

Hey, Lizette.
[10:36] Lizette
That's "Captain" to you, Oswald.
[10:38] Oswald
I didn't take you for the formal type.
[10:41] Lizette
Have you found the entrance
to the Elven Forest?
[10:44] Oswald
Those elves sure are cagey.
[10:47] Lizette
When someone like you approaches,
radiating bloodlust, anyone would run.
[10:54] Oswald
I don't want to hear that from you,
[10:55] Oswald
the heinous criminal who broke the worst
possible taboo in the history of the empire!
[11:00] Lizette
I suggest refraining from jokes
no one would find funny.
[11:04] Oswald
For which one of us?
[11:07] Lizette
Don't mess this up.
[11:09] Oswald
I won't. Don't get so hotheaded.
[11:14] Lizette
And don't complicate the situation.
[11:17] Oswald
Complicate it?
[11:18] Lizette
Don't go on a rampage.
[11:20] Oswald
Yeah, yeah.
[11:38] Percival
May I have a moment?
[11:39] Alan
Of course.
[11:42] Percival
To long-lived folk like us,
[11:44] Percival
the past decade without a monarch
has been both short and long.
[11:47] Percival
Everyone's been so anxious.
[11:48] Alan
No wonder you all welcomed
Noelle with open arms.
[11:52] Percival
We elves cannot be without our ruler.
[11:56] Alan
You can't?
[11:58] Percival
We elves serve our monarch, and it is through
years of such service that we grow.
[12:03] Alan
So without a sovereign, you stop growing?
[12:07] Percival
It's not just that.
We can't even bear children.
[12:11] Percival
Thus our people face a slow death.
[12:17] Percival
The one who kindled hope for us...
[12:20] Percival
was Henriette-dono.
[12:24] (Flashback) Henriette
There is a lost one whose
only interest is smithing.
[12:28] (Flashback) Percival
Really? It's unusual for our kind
become so taken with smithing.
[12:32] (Flashback) Percival
How did you meet her?
[12:33] (Flashback) Henriette
Huh? I haven't m-met her exactly.
[12:37] (Flashback) Henriette
I just sort of saw her...
I guess you say I was spying on her.
[12:42] (Flashback) Henriette
Anyway, she has the eyes
of the fairy sovereign!
[12:49] Alan
And that was Noelle?
[12:51] Percival
Yes.
[12:52] Percival
And that's not all Henriette-dono
has provided us with.
[12:57] Percival
We always avoided contact with other peoples,
[13:00] Percival
so we'd never enter
the villages where they dwelt.
[13:03] Percival
But Henriette-dono brought us goods
from other cultures as often as she could.
[13:09] Percival
Thus we who have only known
life in the forest
[13:12] Percival
slowly came to understand the outside world.
[13:16] Percival
Thanks to that, many of us have
now experienced other cultures
[13:20] Percival
and freely enter towns outside the forest.
[13:25] Percival
She never scorns hard work and is
always laboring for the sake of others.
[13:33] Alan; internal
So she hasn't changed a bit in this world.
[13:37] Alan
Was it also Henriette who brought in
those children we saw earlier?
[13:41] Percival
Children?
[13:42] Alan
Yeah, the demon children.
[13:46] Percival
So you knew.
[13:48] Percival
I've heard those who are very skilled
or sensitive can see a demon's aura.
[13:54] Alan
You don't need to worry.
[13:56] Alan
I don't hold any particular
animosity toward demons.
[14:01] Percival
Really? That's unusual.
[14:04] Alan
But this has got me curious.
[14:06] Alan
Why would demons, who are
so loathed in this world,
[14:09] Alan
be living together with elves,
who are so insular?
[14:13] Percival
About three years ago, Henriette-dono
suddenly asked it of us.
[14:18] Percival
She said that she wanted us to shelter
these kids who had no relatives.
[14:22] Percival
Of course, most were opposed to it.
[14:25] Percival
For elves, who do not mingle with other races,
[14:27] Percival
they said harboring demons was
completely out of the question.
[14:31] Percival
But Henriette-dono introduced us to an idea.
[14:35] Percival
She said that if elves lived
alongside other races,
[14:37] Percival
we might be able to grow
even without a monarch.
[14:41] Percival
Of course, deep in their hearts,
many still don't approve of this.
[14:45] Percival
Even so, little by little, we're trying to change.
[14:58] Lise
Are you all right?
[15:00] Noelle
If I look all right to you, Lise, then
there's something wrong with your eyes.
[15:05] Lise
Don't say that!
[15:07] Alan
Well, she has been subject to the
elves' excessive hospitality all day.
[15:11] Alan
Good job hanging in there.
[15:12] Noelle
Seriously! Even if they think of me
as their ruler, let's be reasonable here!
[15:19] Myléne
Noelle, are you going
to become their sovereign?
[15:23] Myléne
If you do, will you still be able to play?
[15:26] Noelle
Nothing's been decided yet.
[15:29] Noelle
I really don't know.
[15:34] Alan
Well, why don't we go and
get some rest for today?
[15:37] Lise
Y-Yes. The elves have prepared this
comfortable place for us to stay, after all.
[15:42] Alan
Well then, good night.
[15:45] Lise
Myléne-san, we should go too.
[15:48] Alan
You too, Henriette. Good night.
[16:03] Noelle
What should I do?
[16:07] Noelle
Vanessa's unfulfilled wish to forge
[16:10] Noelle
a blade that surpasses a divine sword...
[16:13] Noelle
I've accomplished that goal.
[16:16] Noelle
Wait a minute!
[16:19] Noelle
Then what is my goal right now?
[16:21] Noelle
What do I want to do?
What to I want to become?
[16:24] Noelle
Why am I traveling with Alan and the others?
[16:37] Noelle; internal
I see.
[16:39] Noelle; internal
I've come all this way without
really understanding myself.
[16:56] Henriette
Alan.
[17:00] Henriette
That look you gave me earlier...
[17:02] Henriette
Was that meant to call me to your room?
[17:05] Alan
That's right.
[17:06] Alan
I really wanted the two of us to be alone.
[17:08] Henriette
I-I'm not really familiar
with this sort of thing.
[17:15] Henriette
So, um, I hope you'll be
gentle as you teach me.
[17:25] Alan
Sure. You can go now.
[17:27] Henriette
Hey! You don't know how
to take a hint, do you?!
[17:30] Henriette
Not jumping on a beautiful girl like me?!
[17:32] Henriette
There's something wrong
with you, isn't there?!
[17:35] Alan
You're not beautiful on the inside, though.
[17:37] Henriette
Huh?! What'd you just say?!
[17:39] Alan
Oh, nothing.
[17:43] Henriette
So, what is it you want to discuss?
[17:47] Alan
I heard that you asked the elves
to give the demon children refuge.
[17:51] Henriette
That blasted Percival.
[17:53] Henriette
He's supposed to be tight-lipped.
[17:57] Henriette
All right, fine. There are a few things
about demons that I haven't told you.
[18:02] Alan
I'm sure there are.
[18:04] Henriette
First, demons aren't a
distinct race or anything.
[18:09] Henriette
When someone resents other people
and wishes them all dead,
[18:13] Henriette
the Will of the World
recognizes that person as a demon.
[18:18] Henriette
But there are exceptions.
[18:20] Henriette
Demon children are born to demon parents.
[18:24] Henriette
From the moment they enter this world,
[18:27] Henriette
they are branded and despised as demons.
[18:31] Henriette
They're made demons through
no fault of their own.
[18:35] Henriette
And demons cast their children
into the poorest conditions.
[18:39] Henriette
They're forced into a harsh
struggle for existence.
[18:43] Henriette
Because those who survive become
the strongest demons, you see?
[18:47] Alan
What a horribly vicious cycle.
[18:50] Henriette
It's nearly impossible for
children to escape on their own.
[18:53] Alan
Then what about the kids in the woods?
[18:55] Henriette
I happened to find them when
they were about to be killed.
[18:59] Henriette
I couldn't just leave them, could I?
[19:01] Alan
I see.
[19:03] Henriette
What's with that expression?
[19:06] Alan
I was just thinking how like you that is.
[19:09] Henriette
I-I didn't ask for your opinion!
[19:23] Lise
Incredible! There are places like this here?
[19:26] Percival
The Elven Forest is very vast.
[19:31] Henriette
Didn't get much sleep?
[19:32] Noelle
Huh?
[19:34] Henriette
You shouldn't fret about turning them down.
[19:36] Henriette
In their own way, they're trying to figure out
how to live without a monarch.
[19:41] Henriette
The decision you make should be for you.
[19:45] Noelle
Yeah. Thanks.
[19:47] demon child A
My liege!
[19:49] demon child B
Here! This is for you!
[19:52] demon child A
It's our treasure! A sparkly stone!
[19:55] Noelle
It's beautiful! Thank you.
[19:58] Henriette
Oh, a spirit stone!
[20:00] Noelle
A spirit stone?
[20:02] Henriette
It's a crystallization of elven power,
a precious stone that's used in alchemy.
[20:09] Phillip
This stupid thing!
[20:10] Phillip
Stay away from our sovereign!
You're just demons!
[20:16] Percival
Phillip! You stand before our liege!
[20:20] Percival
Phillip!
[20:22] Percival
My deepest apologies
you had to witness such an ugly scene.
[20:24] Noelle
Not at all.
[20:28] Alan
It seems the elves' loathing
of demons runs deep.
[20:32] Henriette
It isn't just the elves.
[20:39] Henriette
The other races are the same.
[20:42] Alan
Henriette?
[20:43] Henriette
Some minor business calls.
[20:55] Henriette
So this is where you are.
[20:57] Phillip
Lady Henriette?
[21:00] Henriette
That was pretty mean earlier,
don't you think?
[21:02] Phillip
But those demons were getting
so cozy with our sovereign!
[21:07] Phillip
I can't stand it!
[21:08] Henriette
So what if they're demons?
[21:10] Henriette
Have they done anything to you?
[21:14] Phillip
They haven't.
[21:18] Henriette
Wanting to speak with the monarch.
[21:20] Henriette
Wanting to give her gifts.
[21:22] Henriette
Wanting to be friends with her.
[21:24] Henriette
Phillip, they feel the same way about
your sovereign that you do, don't you think?
[21:31] Phillip
Yeah.
[21:32] Henriette
In that case, Henriette believes
you could all be friends.
[21:38] Henriette
They're littler than you are,
so you should treat them kindly.
[21:42] Henriette
Everyone will be worried,
so come back soon, all right?
[21:51] Phillip
I have to go apologize.
[22:01] Oswald
Hang on, kid.
[22:03] Phillip
Let go!
[22:06] Oswald
You really think I'd do that?
[22:08] Oswald
I need you to show me the way, you see?
[22:11] Oswald
The way to the Elven Forest.

fretting over this, doesn't she?
[00:25] Alan
Well, she was suddenly asked
to become the elves' sovereign.
[00:29] Alan
I bet she's not interested in food right now.
[00:31] Henriette
It'd be nice if we could help her somehow.
[00:34] Alan
It's something she has to decide for herself.
[00:38] Alan
This is so refreshing and tasty.
[00:45] Noelle
I want some meat...

[02:20] Henriette
Well, Henriette will take her leave here.
[02:23] Henriette
Percival, you're in charge
of showing everyone around.
[02:26] Percival
Henriette-dono, there's no
need for you to go looking.
[02:29] Henriette
It's fine, it's fine! Henriette has
to return to the mansion anyway.
[02:34] Henriette
She'll look on the way.
[02:36] Percival
Sorry for the trouble.
[02:37] Henriette
Farewell!
[02:39] Alan
Did something happen?
[02:40] Percival
One of us left the forest and hasn't returned.
[02:43] Noelle
Could it be that boy named Phillip?
[02:49] Percival
I hope he hasn't gotten
caught up in any trouble.
[02:56] Henriette
Phillip! Where are you?
[03:00] Henriette
Honestly, where has he wandered off to?
[03:06] Alan
Elves really are carefree, aren't they?
[03:09] Mylène
Not carefree so much as...
[03:12] Mylène
Lazy?
[03:14] Lise
Do elves not have the concept of work?
[03:17] Percival
Hardworking... is not
something you could call us.
[03:21] Percival
In our defense, we elves have no need of work.
[03:27] Percival
Actually, it might be more correct
to say that we shouldn't work.
[03:31] Lise
What do you mean?
[03:33] Percival
We grow at an incredibly slow rate
compared to other races,
[03:37] Percival
and we're long-lived!
[03:39] Percival
The way we experience time
and perceive most things is different.
[03:42] Percival
That includes, of course,
the value of hard work.
[03:47] Mylène
So to work is to be defeated?
[03:49] Noelle
That's pretty deep.
[03:50] Lise
I-Is it?
[03:52] Alan
So, does being obsessed with smithing even
though she's an elf make Noelle eccentric?
[03:57] Noelle
Don't act like I'm some weirdo!
[04:00] Mylène
Who makes your food?
[04:03] Percival
Food isn't a problem. Because, you see...
[04:09] Lise
Incredible!
[04:10] Noelle
What was that? Magic? Sleight of hand?
[04:13] Percival
When we wish for it, the forest
shares its bounty with us.
[04:22] Lise
How is that?
[04:24] Percival
The forest is part of us,
and we are part of the forest.
[04:30] Lise
So... what does that mean?
[04:33] Noelle
B-Basically, it means...
the Elven Forest is amazing!
[04:42] Alan
The forest and the elves blend together?
[04:46] Percival
You can tell? Very impressive.
[04:49] Alan
Just a sense of it, though.
[04:51] Percival
It's not complicated.
[04:54] Percival
We are born here. We live here. We die here.
[04:58] Percival
After death, we return to the forest,
[05:00] Percival
and we look after our descendants
together with the forest.
[05:03] Alan
I see. This seems like a nice place to live.
[05:06] Alan
And you don't have any trouble finding food.
[05:08] Percival
My liege.
[05:10] Noelle
I haven't decided to become
your sovereign yet.
[05:13] Percival
What do you think of life in the forest?
[05:15] Percival
Do you like it?
[05:17] Noelle
Well, I do think it's a nice place, but...
[05:21] Alan
Would it be possible for me to live here, too?
[05:23] Lise
Alan-kun?
[05:24] Alan
I came all the way to the empire
to find a peaceful place to live.
[05:29] Alan
It feels like life here would be ideal for me.
[05:33] Percival
You seem to have your reasons,
[05:35] Percival
but in order for you to live here,
we'd have to acknowledge you as our kin.
[05:40] Alan
What could I do to make that happen?
[05:43] Percival
We wouldn't know.
[05:45] Alan
What?
[05:46] Percival
The forest decides everything.
[05:49] Alan
I see.
[05:50] Alan
Of all the places I've seen so far,
this one seems the best.
[05:54] Percival
I'm happy to hear you say that,
but this is a rule of ours.
[05:59] Noelle
But what about the demon children?
[06:02] Percival
Henriette-dono introduced them to us.
[06:05] Percival
We're looking after them for a short time.
[06:07] Percival
It's not as if they'll
be here all their lives.
[06:11] Alan
Then what if I said I wanted
to live here for a short time?
[06:15] Percival
If that's the case,
there should be no problem.
[06:17] Alan
By the way, how long would
you consider "a short time"?
[06:20] Percival
Well, I'd say about a hundred years or so.
[06:23] Lise
A-A hundred years is a short time?
[06:26] Mylène
That's elves for you.
[06:27] Noelle
Yeah, it really is.
[06:29] Alan
Noelle, are you one to talk?
[06:35] Percival
I see. We will take care of it.
[06:38] Alan
Who are you talking to?
[06:40] Percival
The forest.
[06:41] Percival
It seems someone has come to visit.
[06:44] Lise
Could it be Lady Henriette?
[06:45] Percival
It is apparently someone
the forest doesn't recognize.
[06:48] Mylène
Someone suspicious?
[06:51] Percival
No need to worry.
[06:53] Percival
There are several people in the empire who've
been granted the right to enter our forest.
[06:59] Percival
My apologies, my liege.
[07:02] Percival
As I must go and receive our visitor,
[07:04] Percival
would it be all right to
pause the tour for a time?
[07:07] Noelle
I don't mind. We'll see you later.
[07:10] Percival
Until then, my liege.
[07:14] Alan
Well, we should be good and head back.
[07:18] Lise
Yes, we should.
[07:19] Noelle
What? We're not going to explore?
[07:22] Alan
If the worst case happens and someone from
the empire finds us, it'd be trouble, right?
[07:28] Noelle
Oh, that's right.
[07:29] Noelle
They're still after you, aren't they?
[07:40] Noelle
Hey! That's cheating!
[07:43] Noelle
What's with that attitude?
[07:44] Lise
Alan-kun, do you really intend
on staying here?
[07:49] Alan
Yes, I'm seriously considering it.
[07:51] Alan
It seems like a comfortable place to live,
and the elves seem like good people.
[07:56] Alan
Henriette's nearby too, so I can
go to her if anything comes up.
[08:01] Alan
Is something wrong?
[08:02] Lise
Yes, of course. Of course you want to stay.
[08:04] Lise
After all, you and Lady Henriette are
on such good terms with each other.
[08:09] Alan
Huh? Oh.
[08:11] Alan
Henriette and I don't have the kind
of relationship you're imagining.
[08:15] Alan
Although it's true she's more
than just an acquaintance.
[08:17] Lise
Then what exactly is she to you?!
[08:20] Alan
U-Uh, let me think...
[08:24] Alan
I-It's hard to explain.
[08:27] Alan
You could say we're stuck together...
Like it's fate or something.
[08:31] Lise
Fate?
[08:32] Lise
What do you mean by that?!
[08:35] Alan
No, n-not like that!
[08:40] Noelle
Like a husband who's been caught cheating.
[08:43] Mylène
By his monster wife.
[08:45] Lise
N-No! I didn't mean to...
[08:48] Noelle
Don't you worry.
[08:50] Noelle
I'll keep an eye on Alan to make
sure he doesn't get up to anything.
[08:54] Lise
What? Noelle, you're going to stay here, too?
[08:57] Noelle
Yeah, I am.
[08:58] Lise
But that's also a bit, um...
[09:02] Alan
Have you decided to become their sovereign?
[09:04] Noelle
No. I'm going to live here so
I can make up my mind about that.
[09:07] Noelle
It's a really important decision.
[09:09] Noelle
So all the better to take my time, right?
[09:11] Alan
What will you do about smithing?
[09:13] Noelle
I'll just build a forge here.
[09:15] Noelle
There are a lot of dwarves in the empire,
so it'll be a good chance to learn things.
[09:19] Mylène
Then Mylène will live with you, too.
[09:22] Lise
And so will I.
[09:23] Alan
Lise, you can't do that, can you?
[09:26] Lise
Why not?
[09:28] Alan
Because you're not like us wanderers.
[09:30] Noelle
You're in charge of a duchy.
[09:32] Mylène
Not to mention a former princess.
[09:37] Henriette
Henriette is back!
[09:38] Silas
My lady, you have a visitor.
[09:40] Henriette
A visitor?
[09:41] Silas
It's...
[09:45] Lizette
Hey there. Thanks for having me.
[09:47] Henriette
Lizette Berwald.
[09:50] Henriette
What business brings the captain
of the Black Wolf Knights here?
[09:55] Lizette
Lady Henriette, you know that the emperor
was assassinated a year ago, don't you?
[10:02] Lizette
We've received information that you're
harboring a suspect in that incident here.
[10:08] Henriette
Dear, dear. Whatever are you talking about?
[10:10] Henriette
Who told you such a preposterous thing?
[10:13] Lizette
That was all a lie.
[10:15] Henriette
Huh?
[10:16] Lizette
To be honest, I came here on a hunch.
[10:19] Lizette
The suspect was seen several
days ago in Laurus,
[10:23] Lizette
after which they suddenly went into hiding.
[10:26] Lizette
There's no sign they've crossed the border.
[10:28] Lizette
It's almost as if they were never
in the empire to begin with.
[10:31] Lizette
All traces of them have vanished.
[10:35] Lizette
The only one who could perform
such wizardry, as far as I know,
[10:39] Lizette
is you, Lady Henriette.
[10:48] Henriette
Even if Henriette is harboring a fugitive,
[10:52] Henriette
do you really think her foolish enough
to leave evidence in her own home?
[10:55] Lizette
We might not find anything here.
[10:58] Lizette
But...
[11:00] Lizette
what about in the Elven Forest?
[11:04] Lizette
I hear that you often go there.
[11:18] Oswald
Now then...
[11:20] Oswald
It's time to get a little rough.

[11:32] Percival
Sorry to keep you waiting.
[11:36] Phillip
Percival-sama, I'm sorry.
[11:39] Oswald
Yuck! No one should eat this stuff!
[11:43] Percival
He used Phillip to make his way in here?
[11:48] Oswald
Are you the boss of the elves here?
[11:51] Percival
The Black Wolf Knights!
[11:56] (Flashback) Henriette
The Black Wolf Knights have been granted
extrajudicial rights to mete out punishment.
[12:01] (Flashback) Percival
Extrajudicial rights to mete out punishment?
[12:04] (Flashback) Henriette
If you so much as bump
into them, you're done for!
[12:07] (Flashback) Henriette
They have that kind of authority.
[12:10] (Flashback) Percival
That is problematic.
[12:13] (Flashback) Henriette
Just don't engage with them.
[12:15] (Flashback) Henriette
If you wind up on their bad side,
[12:17] (Flashback) Henriette
they'll find something to pin on you
and crush you in the blink of an eye.
[12:22] (Flashback) Henriette
Be as careful as you possibly can.
[12:25] Percival
I am Percival, regent to the elven sovereign.
[12:28] Percival
Now please state your business here.
[12:31] Oswald
Yeah, we heard that you're
harboring a criminal here.
[12:36] Oswald
Where is he?
[12:37] Percival
A-A criminal? Could this
be some sort of mistake?
[12:41] Oswald
What was that? I'm the one
asking the questions here!
[12:44] Percival
My apologies.
[12:46] Percival
However, we have no idea
to whom you might be referring.
[12:49] Oswald
I don't care! If I say he's here,
then he's here!
[12:53] Oswald
Now go and drag him out here!
[12:55] Percival
But...
[12:56] Oswald
I said go and get him right now!

Percival-sama!
[13:01] demon child B
Do we have a visitor?
[13:05] Percival
Stay away, you two!
[13:07] demon child B
We gathered these.
You can have some, mister!
[13:09] demon child A
They're really good!
[13:11] Oswald
Hey, these kids are—
[13:12] Percival
My, they really are a handful.
[13:15] Percival
These children are much
too friendly with people.
[13:18] Oswald
Move!
[13:20] Oswald
Forget criminals! Who'd have
guessed you're hiding demons here?
[13:27] Percival
Please, just let them go.
[13:30] Percival
They haven't done anything wrong!
[13:35] Oswald
Burst.
[13:42] Lise
Noelle?
[13:45] Lise
Are those the spirit stones
the children gave you?
[13:49] Noelle
Those children...
and the forest are in danger.
[13:52] Alan
Did you see something?
[13:54] Noelle
I didn't see it, exactly. It just
suddenly flashed through my mind.
[13:58] Noelle
The children being attacked
by a Black Wolf Knight.
[14:02] Lise
Could it be that they're asking
for help through the spirit stones?
[14:06] Noelle
Attacking children is unforgivable!
[14:09] Noelle
I have to go save them!
[14:10] Mylène
Mylène will go, too!
[14:15] Alan
Attacking children is unforgivable?
[14:19] Alan
But what if the attacker has just cause?
[14:23] Alan
In that case, should I stop them?
[14:28] Alan
In my previous life, I might have gone
to the rescue without a second thought.
[14:32] Alan
But I'm not a hero anymore.
[14:36] Alan
Saving anyone and everyone
only led to emptiness.
[14:40] Alan
Which means...
[14:42] Lise
Alan-kun.
[14:45] Lise
Alan-kun, are you all right?
[14:49] Alan
Well, we should go too.
[14:52] Alan
We can't just leave Noelle and
the others on their own, can we?
[14:58] Alan
I didn't want to have
to think about these things.
[15:01] Alan
That's why I wanted to live peacefully.
[15:13] Oswald
Huh. You're pretty good.
[15:15] Percival
Please, begone from here.
[15:16] Percival
These children are innocent!
[15:18] Oswald
No one asked you. The brats'
executions are a done deal.
[15:23] Percival
You two, stay back.
[15:25] demon children
R-Right.
[15:27] Oswald
C'mon, now. You really wanna go with me?
[15:30] Percival
I will not allow the likes of you to slay me!
[15:36] Oswald
Sounds like fun!
[15:38] Oswald
Let's see. Maybe I'll try that tree.
[15:43] Oswald
Burst!
[15:54] Percival
Th-That can't be...
He came at me from behind?
[15:57] Oswald
You're just aren't on my level.
[16:02] demon child A
S-Someone save us!
[16:05] Oswald
Now then...
[16:08] Oswald
Which one should I execute first?
[16:13] Oswald
Hey, kid! What're you playing at?
[16:17] Oswald
If you want to die that badly,
I'll grant your wish and slaughter you!
[16:21] Oswald
Ow!
[16:29] Phillip
The sovereign!
[16:31] Percival
My liege!
[16:32] Noelle
I've told you, I'm not your sovereign!
[16:35] Noelle
What's this? Are you their leader?
[16:39] Noelle
I'm just a smith.
[16:41] Mylène
And her shop clerk.
[16:43] Oswald
What?
[16:44] Noelle
Leave this forest immediately,
you saw-toothed jerk!
[16:49] Oswald
Got crazies crawling out of the woodwork.
[16:51] Oswald
You'll also...
[16:54] Mylène
Noelle, this way!
[16:55] Noelle
Huh?
[16:56] Oswald
Burst!
[17:06] Noelle
What is all this?!
[17:08] Oswald
Tch, scurrying around like that...
[17:10] Oswald
Burst!
[17:12] Noelle
And what's Alan doing?!
[17:16] Percival
If this continues, our liege will also...
[17:27] Oswald
Too slow!
[17:33] Noelle
Percival!
[17:48] Oswald
What?!
[17:49] Alan
Honestly, just when I thought
I'd found a peaceful place to live...
[17:56] Oswald
Wh-Who are you?
[17:58] Alan
Do I need to give you my name?
[18:00] Alan
This is going to be over in an instant.
[18:02] Oswald
What?! Don't go getting cocky,
you blasted brat!
[18:07] Oswald
Burst!
[18:11] Oswald
Don't tell me he... There's no way.
But in that case...
[18:16] Oswald
I'll target that woman!
[18:19] Oswald
Burst!
[18:27] Oswald
You can see my fuse?
[18:29] Alan
Yeah. I have pretty good eyes.
[18:32] Oswald
You... Don't you dare mock me!
[18:37] Alan
Do I have to tell you it's pointless
for you to understand?
[18:41] Oswald
Don't act like you've won just because
you've seen through how my Explode works!
[18:46] Alan
You know, I really don't like bloody fights.
[18:49] Oswald
Blasted brat!
[18:54] Alan
One last thing.
[18:57] Alan
I'd like for you to tell me...
[18:59] Alan
Why did you try to kill those children?
[19:01] Oswald
Enough of your yapping!
[19:04] Oswald
Who needs a reason to kill demons?
[19:22] Lise
You'll be all right now.
[19:24] Phillip
Thank you!
[19:29] children
Yay! Over here!
[19:29] Lise
Alan-kun, when you saved those
children, it made me happy.
[19:34] Alan
Huh?
[19:35] Lise
They've committed no crime.
[19:37] Lise
They're still too young to clearly
differentiate right from wrong.
[19:43] Lise
I don't want to see them suffer.
[19:45] Lise
That's true, even if they do
happen to be demons.
[19:47] Lise
I'm really glad.
[19:49] Alan
I see. Thank you, Lise.
[19:53] Mylène
Poke, poke.
[19:54] Mylène
He's unconscious.
[19:57] Percival
How are we going to handle this?
[19:59] Noelle
What's done is done, but we definitely just
challenged the empire to a fight, didn't we?
[20:04] Alan
If Henriette saw this,
I'm sure she'd be fuming.
[20:09] Henriette
What was that about Henriette?
[20:13] Alan
Henriette! There were some complicated
circumstances that led to this...
[20:17] Percival
A-Alan-dono saved us!
[20:20] Henriette
Seriously, you...
[20:24] Henriette
You've made a mess again, haven't you?
[20:26] Alan
Sorry.
[20:28] Henriette
Henriette will make sure
to handle it artfully.
[20:33] Alan
That'd be a huge help.
[20:36] Henriette
More importantly,
there's good news for all of you.
[20:39] Henriette
The blockades on the roads were just lifted.
[20:42] Alan
What?
[20:43] Lise
Now we can return to our kingdom.
[20:46] Henriette
That's right! Leave all of this
to Henriette and hurry home!
[20:55] Percival
Take care of yourself, my liege.
[20:58] Noelle
I told you, I'm not your sovereign.
[21:00] Percival
Yes, you did, Noelle-dono.
[21:03] Percival
Are you really going?
[21:06] Percival
Even if you don't become our monarch,
you can still live in the forest.
[21:10] Noelle
There's still too much I don't know
for me to become your sovereign.
[21:15] Percival
Too much you don't know?
[21:17] Noelle
About elves, humans,
demons, and this world...
[21:21] Noelle
There's still so much more I need to learn.
[21:26] Noelle
If I continue traveling with them,
[21:28] Noelle
I think I might become a
little more like a monarch.
[21:33] Percival
We will always be here waiting for you.
[21:37] Noelle
Bye, everyone!
[21:41] demon children
Bye!
[21:42] Phillip
Come back and play sometime!
[21:45] Noelle
I will! I promise I'll be back!
[23:24] Lizette
Daughter of Marquis Lindqvist,
[23:26] Lizette
you are being taken into custody on
suspicion of assassinating the emperor.
[23:34] Lizette
That completes our deal.

I don't think Henriette's worried about that.
[00:39] Alan
She's not good at accepting gratitude.
[00:39] Henriette; background
No! No! Stop it!
[00:42] Lise
Really?
[00:44] Alan
You can tell her the next time you see her.
[00:47] Lise
I will.
[00:49] Alan
Well, shall we set out?
[00:51] Noelle; Myléne
Yeah!
[00:52] Curtis
Please wait!
[01:01] Noelle
Who're you?
[01:04] Lise
Has something happened?
[01:05] Curtis
My sister...
[01:07] Curtis
My older sister...
[01:10] Curtis
I want you to save her!
[01:13] Lise
Alan-kun?
[01:15] Alan
We were leaving the empire because we didn't
want to get caught up in any more trouble.
[01:20] Noelle
Why don't you at least hear him out?
[01:23] Noelle
It might be something you
can take care of quickly.
[01:26] Myléne
It'll be child's play for Alan!
[01:30] Curtis
I haven't introduced myself yet.
[01:33] Curtis
My name is Curtis Lindqvist.
[01:36] Lise
Lindqvist?
[01:38] Alan
Then, is your older sister...
[01:41] Curtis
I'm begging you!
[01:43] Curtis
Please save Henriette-neesan!

A Cry for Help
[03:18] Alan
So, what did you mean when you said
that you wanted us to save Henriette?
[03:23] Curtis
My sister was detained
by the Black Wolf Knights
[03:28] Curtis
on the charge of assassinating the emperor.
[03:30] Lise
That can't be!
[03:32] Curtis
They'll take her to the imperial
capital for sentencing.
[03:36] Curtis
And then...
[03:38] Noelle
Henriette-sama wouldn't assassinate anyone!
[03:41] Curtis
I agree. The accusation has to be false!
[03:44] Noelle
Then we'll go prove she's innocent!
[03:47] Curtis
I'm afraid that isn't really possible.
[03:51] Noelle
Now listen here, you...
[03:53] Curtis
Even if you could prove it,
any evidence would just get suppressed.
[03:58] Noelle
What do you mean?
[04:00] Curtis
My sister is shunned
by certain royal and noble factions.
[04:04] Lise
But she's so kind and intelligent.
[04:08] Curtis
That's exactly why!
[04:11] Curtis
My sister is too brilliant.
[04:13] Curtis
It's earned her people's envy and resentment.
[04:17] Alan
I see.
[04:19] Noelle
So they're just being mean out of jealousy!
[04:21] Curtis
And because she's what
some might call fearless,
[04:24] Curtis
my sister has bucked
the ideas and principles
[04:28] Curtis
of the empire without batting an eye.
[04:31] Alan
There's the way she talks, too.
[04:34] Alan
I imagine she's crossed a lot of people.
[04:37] Curtis
This must be a plot designed
by someone who sees her as an enemy!
[04:41] Curtis
But there isn't anything I can
do with my power alone.
[04:46] Alan
Any friends or relatives you could call on?
[04:50] Curtis
My sister and I are isolated even
within the Lindqvist family.
[04:55] Noelle
The two of you really are something.
[04:59] Henriette
Henriette is an only child,
and her parents are long gone.
[05:06] Alan
This is a pretty big request.
[05:09] Alan
May we have a little time to think it over?
[05:12] Curtis
Yes.
[05:13] Curtis
I'm very sorry to involve you in any of this.
[05:19] Curtis
But...
[05:21] Curtis
More than anything, I want you to save her!
[05:24] Curtis
My sister means so much to me!
[05:38] Lise
Alan-kun?
[05:39] Lise
Can we talk for a moment?
[05:42] Lise
It's... about Curtis-san.
[05:45] Alan
Just when we're about to leave town,
he shows up with a request we can't ignore.
[05:52] Alan
I don't know what he might be after,
but it's suspicious nonetheless.
[05:56] Lise
So you thought so, too?
[05:59] Alan
To start, Henriette
doesn't have a little brother.
[06:02] Noelle
I believed him without a second thought,
[06:04] Noelle
but now that you mention it,
this is strange.
[06:07] Noelle
We've never met him before,
[06:10] Noelle
so how did he know that we're
friends of Henriette's?
[06:14] Myléne
It's suspicious.
[06:15] Alan
Still, it does appear Henriette was
indeed taken by the Black Wolf Knights.
[06:21] Lise; Noelle
What?
[06:22] Alan
I just took a look using Divine Eyes.
[06:25] Alan
She's en route to the imperial
capital under heavy guard.
[06:28] Lise
Then Curtis-san really is Lady Henriette's...
[06:32] Noelle
So we're being overly cautious?
[06:33] Alan
At times like this, it's best to dive into the
heart of the matter and decide from there.
[06:38] Lise
But what if this is a trap?
[06:42] Alan
If it is, then I'll figure something out.
[06:50] Henriette
I wasn't expecting a comfortable journey,
[06:54] Henriette
but you could treat me a
little better, couldn't you?
[06:58] Henriette
Despite appearances, I am the
daughter of a marquis, after all.
[07:02] Lizette
This is protocol. I hope you
don't think worse of me for it.
[07:06] Henriette
You're as inflexible as ever, I see.
[07:10] Henriette
You know I couldn't escape.
[07:12] Lizette
I am fully aware of that fact.
[07:15] Lizette
However, there is an element of the
unknowable to you, Lady Henriette.
[07:20] Lizette
And if I allowed a prisoner to escape,
my head would roll.
[07:25] Lizette
I'd prefer not to die if I can help it.
[07:28] Henriette
Yes, yes. I understand.
[07:32] Henriette
You did keep your promise, didn't you?
[07:35] Lizette
Of course.
[07:37] Lizette
Now that the emperor's assassin
has been apprehended,
[07:40] Lizette
who they are and what they're
doing in the empire
[07:44] Lizette
doesn't concern us in the least.
[07:48] Lizette
By now, they've probably left Laurus
and are headed for the border.
[07:54] Henriette
Should anything happen to befall them...
[07:58] Henriette
then no matter what it takes,
I will kill you.
[08:10] Curtis
Alan-san!
[08:12] Alan
Sorry to keep you waiting.
[08:14] Curtis
I trusted that you would come!
[08:16] Alan
Who's this?
[08:18] Curtis
My guard and coachman.
[08:21] Curtis
He's trustworthy. No need to worry.
[08:25] Noelle
Alan, no matter what happens,
you'd better protect us.
[08:29] Curtis
We'll travel to the capital in my coach.
[08:32] Curtis
This way, please.
[08:39] Noelle
I can't tell what kind of trap this might be.
[08:42] Noelle
Being overly cautious is probably
fitting for a situation like this.
[08:46] Curtis
Um...
[08:48] Curtis
Is something wrong?
[08:50] Noelle; Lise
What?
[08:51] Curtis
You seem unsettled.
[08:53] Noelle
Um, well, it's...
[08:58] Noelle
I-I was just thinking what
a nice coach this is!
[09:02] Lise
Yes, it's charming! Just lovely!
[09:05] Curtis
Is it?
[09:08] Alan
Are you really Henriette's younger brother?
[09:11] Noelle
Hey! You're just going
to ask out of nowhere?
[09:15] Alan
How did you know that
we're Henriette's friends?
[09:18] Noelle
Th-That's right! Fess up!
[09:23] Curtis
I understand.
[09:25] Curtis
I can't blame you for being suspicious.
[09:28] Lise
Could you please just tell
us everything honestly?
[09:32] Curtis
To be precise...
[09:33] Curtis
I'm from a lesser branch
of the Lindqvist family.
[09:37] Curtis
Henriette-neesan, who hails from
the main house, is my cousin.
[09:40] Lise
You're...
[09:41] Noelle
Cousins?
[09:42] Curtis
Even since we were little,
she's been like a sister to me.
[09:46] Curtis
I think I've always looked up to her.
[09:53] Curtis
I have no special talents or abilities,
[09:56] Curtis
so I was ridiculed and scorned
for falling behind everyone else.
[10:00] Curtis
The only one who extended
a hand to me then...
[10:04] Curtis
was Nee-san.
[10:08] (Flashback) young Henriette
Do something about that messy face of yours.
[10:12] (Flashback) young Curtis
I don't need that!
[10:13] (Flashback) young Henriette
You really are an idiot.
[10:16] (Flashback) young Henriette
Showing up at a gathering
of lowlifes like them...
[10:19] (Flashback) young Henriette
They're bound to see you
as prey, aren't they?
[10:22] (Flashback) young Curtis
It's because I...
[10:25] (Flashback) young Henriette
There we go.
[10:28] (Flashback) young Curtis
Go away! I don't need comforting!
[10:31] (Flashback) young Henriette
Idiot. Who's comforting you?
[10:35] (Flashback) young Henriette
A pathetic loser like you?
[10:43] (Flashback) young Henriette
But if you just need to vent,
that could be arranged.
[10:54] Curtis
However, my parents...
[10:57] Curtis
They hated her.
[10:59] young Curtis
I don't want to go!
[10:59] Curtis
They hardly ever let me see her.
[11:05] Curtis
So I've only ever been able
to watch her from afar.
[11:12] Curtis
As for how I knew you
were her friends, well...
[11:15] Curtis
I happened to be watching when you all met.
[11:25] Curtis
And when she was taken away
by the Black Wolf Knights...
[11:28] Curtis
all I could do was watch then, too!
[11:32] Curtis
She's so important to me! But I...
[11:35] Curtis
I was so concerned for myself
that I did nothing!
[11:37] Curtis
I'm a coward!
[11:42] Lise
That isn't true.
[11:48] Lise
You worked up the courage
to tell us the whole truth,
[11:51] Lise
and you came to us for help, didn't you?
[11:55] Noelle
You know, I'm sorry for being
weirdly suspicious of you.
[12:01] Curtis
No, I'm the one who's sorry for
making you suspect me at all.
[12:06] Curtis
By the way, Alan-san,
what is your relationship with Nee-san?
[12:10] Alan
Huh? We're just friends.
[12:13] Curtis
It's just that you two
seem to get along so well.
[12:16] Alan
Do we?
[12:19] Lise
Indeed. You're perfectly
in sync with each other.
[12:22] Noelle
It's like watching two people
who've known each other for decades.
[12:27] Mylène
Are you actually married?
[12:29] Alan
What?
[12:30] Lise
I-Is that what it is?!
[12:34] Alan
Could you not go into shock
without verifying things first?
[12:39] Curtis
I didn't know that Nee-san
had such good friends.
[12:41] Lise; background
Is that what it is? Is that what it is?
Is that what it is, Alan-kun?
[12:51] Henriette
Why don't you go and take
a little break, too?
[12:54] Henriette
Henriette will just sleep here.
[12:56] Lizette
I appreciate the concern,
[12:59] Lizette
but my orders are not to take my
eyes off you for a moment.
[13:02] Henriette
You just aren't flexible at all.
[13:04] Lizette
Orders are orders.
[13:07] Henriette
Well, keep up the good work.
[13:12] Henriette
Speaking of which,
[13:13] Henriette
what happened to the man who went
on a rampage in the Elven Forest?
[13:17] Lizette
I'm not going to spill internal
information on my unit to you.
[13:21] Henriette
This is just sleep talk.
Henriette can't hear a thing.
[13:30] Lizette
Oswald was granted a pardon.
[13:33] Henriette
A pardon?
[13:35] Lizette
In the end, we achieved
our primary objective, after all.
[13:39] Henriette
So basically, since Henriette was
captured, he was off the hook.
[13:43] Lizette
That's right.
[13:45] Henriette
Meanwhile, whoever benefits from Henriette
being made into the emperor's assassin...
[13:51] Henriette
The empire's full of such
people right now, isn't it?
[13:55] Lizette
You made too many enemies, Lady Henriette.
[13:58] Lizette
I think you'd have ended up like
this sooner or later anyway.
[14:02] Henriette
We'll chalk it up as a case
of reaping what you sow.
[14:06] Henriette
But I guess if he's fine,
then everything's all right.
[14:11] Henriette
Alan, seeing you after all this time...
[14:14] Henriette
I had a lot of fun.

[14:26] crowd A
Hey, what's goin' on here?
[14:29] crowd B
Suddenly locking things down like this is...
[14:31] crowd C
How long do you suppose this will last?
[14:34] Lise
This is a problem.
[14:35] Lise
The imperial capital is beyond this point.
[14:38] Curtis
I'm sorry.
[14:41] Curtis
I'm the one who said we
should stop in this town.
[14:44] Noelle
It isn't your fault.
[14:46] Alan
We'd have had to resupply
somewhere, in any case.
[14:49] Curtis
But at this rate, Neesan will...
[14:53] Lise
Let's try not to think negatively.
[14:56] Noelle
Still, why would they suddenly
lock down the town?
[15:00] Alan
Could it be...
[15:02] Lise
Was it us?
[15:05] Curtis
I hope that isn't the case.
[15:08] Alan
First things first, let's gather information.
[15:10] Curtis
Right.
[15:12] Alan
We'll try inquiring at the adventurers guild.
[15:15] Curtis
That'd be a huge help.
[15:16] Curtis
But I think those two
should probably wait here.
[15:20] Noelle
What? Why?
[15:23] Mylène
Why?
[15:24] Curtis
Elves and Amazonesses are
something of a rarity in the empire.
[15:31] Noelle
So we'd stand out too much?
[15:33] Curtis
Yes.
[15:34] Noelle
Ugh! This is no fun!
[15:37] Mylène
Mylène will stay while others go.
[15:40] Curtis
I'll show you to our lodgings.
[15:42] Lise
In that case, it will just be...
[15:44] Lise
me and Alan-kun going to the guild.
[15:49] Lise
Just the two of us...
[15:58] Alan
What's going on? You look really happy.
[16:02] Lise
What?
[16:03] Lise
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
[16:07] Lise
I mean, it's the first time I've
been alone with you in a while.
[16:11] Lise
Not that I'm excited about it or anything!
[16:13] Lise
Not in the least!
[16:15] Alan
I see.
[16:16] Lise
Now, let's hurry to the adventurers guild!
[16:20] Lise
Valuable information awaits us!
[16:23] Alan
Lise.
[16:25] Alan
The guild's this way.
[16:27] Lise
Sorry.
[16:34] Lise
It's a tense place, isn't it?
[16:37] Alan
With the town locked down,
they can't ply their trade.
[16:41] Lise
Should we come back later?
[16:43] Alan
It's all right. Things will work out somehow.
[16:47] Curtis
Sorry to keep you waiting.
[16:49] Curtis
They said your room is on the upper floor.
[16:51] Noelle
Hey, is this really all right?
[16:54] Curtis
Is what all right?
[16:56] Noelle
Well, if the Black Wolf Knights
really are looking for us,
[17:00] Noelle
then this inn isn't really safe, is it?
[17:03] Curtis
There's no need to worry.
[17:05] Curtis
This place is trustworthy.
[17:08] Curtis
They'd never sell out their guests.
[17:10] Noelle
I hope not, but...
[17:13] Curtis
Even if the Black Wolf Knights
set foot in here,
[17:15] Curtis
we have him with us.
[17:17] Curtis
He's one of the most accomplished
knights in the empire.
[17:20] Curtis
Please, set your mind at ease.
[17:23] Mylène
Have we met somewhere before?
[17:28] Mylène
Hey!
[17:29] Noelle
Hey! Don't bother him by saying weird stuff!
[17:34] Noelle
But you...
[17:36] Noelle
Don't you get tired wearing
armor all hours of the day?
[17:40] Noelle
Why don't you take off your helmet at least?
[17:42] Curtis
He's very shy. He never takes his
helmet off in front of others.
[17:53] Lise
How did it go?
Did you find a way out of town?
[17:56] Alan
They said they'd like to ask
me the same thing.
[17:59] Alan
What about you?
[18:01] Lise
I tried eavesdropping on the
conversations around me.
[18:05] Lise
It seems the Black Wolf Knights are
looking for a party of six that left Laurus.
[18:10] Alan
There's no question that's us, then.
[18:13] Lise
Let's get back to the others
before we're discovered.
[18:16] Alan
Yeah.
[18:21] Alan
The Black Wolf Knights?
[18:23] Celia
Adventurers! Apologies, but we ask that
you remain where you are.
[18:28] adventurer A
Huh? What gives you the right
to boss us around like that?
[18:32] Celia
This is an order from the Black Wolf Knights.
[18:34] Celia
Any who defy it will be cut down
with no room for argument!
[18:40] Celia
Now, I have a question.
[18:43] Celia
We are in search of a group of six
that recently departed Laurus.
[18:48] Celia
Might anyone here know of their whereabouts?
[18:51] adventurer B
A group of six, huh?
[18:53] adventurer C
What about their races or traits?
[18:55] Celia
My apologies. No further information
on them has been passed down to me.
[19:00] adventurer C
Seriously?
[19:01] Alan
Either they don't know
our identities yet, or...
[19:05] adventurer B
So, who are they anyway?
[19:09] Celia
Rebels who seek to plunge
the empire into chaos.
[19:13] Celia
We ask for your assistance.
[19:16] adventurer D
Wanderers like us don't much care
what happens to your empire.
[19:20] adventurer E
Helping you with something like
that... What's it get us?
[19:25] Celia
Of course, we are not asking
your help for free.
[19:29] Celia
Anyone with information
will be paid a hundred gold coins.
[19:33] adventurer A
A hundred?
[19:35] Celia
It matters not how trivial
the information may be.
[19:37] adventurer F
Actually, there were some strangers
sniffing around about the locked gates!
[19:43] adventurer E
Yeah. I'd never seen them before.
[19:46] adventurer F
They should still be nearby!
[19:48] Celia
Really?
[19:49] Celia
Who were they?
[19:50] adventurer F
See? Over there!
[19:54] adventurer F
When did they...
[20:04] Celia
They're quick on their feet!
[20:06] Celia
You there! Halt!
[20:08] Lise
Is it really all right for us to do this?
[20:10] Alan
Well, we aren't adventurers.
[20:13] Alan
There's no need for us
to follow her orders, is there?
[20:16] Lise
You're really splitting hairs!
[20:18] Celia
You two! Halt!
[20:21] Lise
How is this still okay?!
[20:23] Alan
She just said "you two."
How do we know who she's talking to?
[20:26] Lise
Honestly!
[20:28] Alan
Shall we hurry a little?
[20:29] Lise
What?
[20:37] Celia
Apologies!
[20:39] boy
It hurts!
[20:41] boy
It hurts!
[20:48] Celia
Are you all right?
[20:49] Celia
I'll tend to you right away.
[20:55] Alan
Her kindness to others saved us.
[20:58] Alan
Lise?
[20:59] Lise
Huh? Oh, I'm fine.
[21:02] Alan
It's only a matter of time before
someone else comes looking for us.
[21:06] Lise
It'd be best to avoid joining up
with the others right now.
[21:11] Alan
Well, what should we do?
[21:20] Lise
That noise... Was that an explosion?
[21:23] Alan
That's the direction of the inn!
[21:27] Lise
Alan-kun!
[21:28] Alan
The others are in danger!
[21:51] Osawld
Hey there! Took you long enough.

for what happened at the Elven Forest,

[03:24] Alan
which do you think would happen faster?
[03:26] Lise
Alan-kun!
[03:27] Oswald
You...
[03:29] Oswald
Sounds like you still don't
understand your place!
[03:39] Lise
Noelle!
[03:40] Lise
Myléne-san!
[03:41] Alan
Now then, I've got lots of questions for you,
[03:45] Alan
so could you be quiet for a second?
[03:55] Oswald
You moron.
[03:56] Oswald
I knew from the start there
was no way for me to beat you.
[04:03] Oswald
Yeah, that's right.
[04:05] Oswald
Those friends of yours...
[04:07] Oswald
All those people lying on death's door...
[04:09] Oswald
I've cast Explode on every single one of 'em.
[04:13] Oswald
If I feel like it, they all go boom.
[04:16] Lise
Oh no!
[04:17] Oswald
Seeing your sorry face in tears
will be enough for me.
[04:23] Oswald
Do it. Cut the fuses like you did back in the
Elven Forest to save your precious friends.
[04:31] child B; background
Onee-chan!
[04:31] Oswald
But in the time that takes,
everyone else is headed for the next life!
[04:33] man
Someone! We need help over here!
[04:38] Oswald
So what'll it be, you blasted brat?
[04:41] Oswald
Choose who you're gonna save!
[04:48] (Flashback) Hero Alan
Everything's all right now.
[04:51] (Flashback) child A
Don't come near me.
[04:52] (Flashback) child A
Stay away...
[04:54] (Flashback) child A
Stay away! Don't come near me!
[04:56] (Flashback) child A
I don't need your help!
[04:58] (Flashback) child A
Monster!
[05:05] Alan
That's right. I'm not a hero anymore.
[05:09] Alan
I have no obligation
to save people I don't know.
[05:12] Alan
What I should prioritize right now is...
[05:59] child B
Onee-chan...
[06:05] Lise
What just happened?
[06:07] Oswald
Why? Why isn't anyone exploding?
[06:12] Alan
I'll ask for formality's sake.
[06:13] Alan
Do you have any last words?
[06:17] Oswald
You monster.
[06:20] Celia
Wait!
[06:22] Alan
Sorry, but would you mind not interfering?
[06:24] Celia
I can't agree to that!
[06:26] Celia
Not as long as he's a member
of the Black Wolf Knights.
[06:30] Celia
Your rage is justified.
[06:32] Celia
He destroyed this town and injured its people.
[06:35] Celia
It's only natural that he be punished.
[06:38] Celia
However, that duty belongs to us!
[06:41] Alan
If it needs to be done,
it doesn't really matter who does it, right?
[06:44] Celia
I ask that you please stay your hand.
[06:46] Celia
I do not wish to aggravate
the situation any further.
[06:50] Alan
You expect me to take
a Black Wolf Knight at their word?
[06:54] Celia
I don't blame you for being dubious.
[06:56] Celia
I will take personal responsibility
and see that man is dealt with properly.
[07:00] Celia
As vice captain of the Black Wolf Knights...
No, on my honor as a knight,
[07:05] Celia
I, Celia Bartolus, swear this unto you.
[07:18] Celia
My thanks.
[07:23] Alan
How is everyone?
[07:25] Lise
Their wounds have been treated,
and they're sleeping soundly.
[07:28] Alan
I'm glad.
[07:29] Lise
The town's no longer locked down, either,
[07:31] Lise
so we can set out for the
imperial capital tomorrow.
[07:36] Lise
Something's worrying you, isn't it?
[07:38] Alan
Sort of.
[07:40] Alan
We were supposedly
the Black Wolf Knights' target.
[07:43] Alan
For them to pull out with so little
fuss just doesn't feel right.
[07:47] Lise
Is it possible that they were actually
looking for someone else?
[07:50] Alan
If so, that would be fantastic.
[07:53] Alan
I have no idea what they were after.
[07:55] Lise
Come to think of it,
whose orders are they acting under?
[08:00] Lise
The emperor has been assassinated.
[08:04] Alan
Must be someone who wants to see
the emperor's power maintained.
[08:08] Lise
But who could it be?
[08:19] Lizette
How are things over there?
[08:21] Celia
Ma'am!
[08:22] Celia
We've successfully withdrawn
the unit in Feenis.
[08:25] Lizette
Good work.
[08:27] Celia
However, Captain Lizette,
why did you lift the blockade?
[08:31] Celia
We haven't yet located our target.
[08:33] Lizette
It was the brass's idea.
[08:35] Lizette
Nothing you need to know.
[08:37] Celia
My apologies.
[08:42] Celia
Also, I request authorization
to punish a corps member.
[08:45] Lizette
Is it Oswald?
[08:47] Celia
What? Yes.
[08:48] Celia
He's likely to die even if I leave him.
[08:51] Celia
The least I can do is finish him.
[08:52] Lizette
There's no need for that.
[08:54] Celia
Why not?
[08:55] Lizette
Our leader will handle it personally.
[08:57] Celia
Personally?
[08:59] Lizette
That dumb dog biting its master has
put the master in a very bad mood.
[09:07] Oswald
So you've come, have you?
[09:10] Oswald
I only set this all up because
you kept draggin' your feet.
[09:13] Oswald
What do I care about some grand plan?
[09:16] Oswald
I'm not your lapdog.
SIGN THE BANISHED FORMER HERO
LIVES AS HE PLEASES
[09:32] Lizette
You'll be staying here for a while.
[09:35] Henriette
A rather dreary chamber, wouldn't you say?
[09:37] Lizette
I think it's better than a dungeon cell.
[09:42] Lizette
Now then, I'll take my leave.
[09:45] Henriette
What? You could at least stay and chat
to help stave off imminent boredom.
[09:51] Lizette
I have my duties, though I can't
say I'm thrilled about them.
[09:57] Lizette
If there's anything you need,
I can get it for you.
[10:01] Henriette
How about the key to this room?
[10:02] Lizette
Not happening.
[10:03] Henriette
It was a joke.
[10:05] Henriette
A few books would be welcome.
[10:08] Lizette
Books? What kind of books?
[10:10] Henriette
Well...
[10:16] solider A
Peddlers, huh?
[10:18] solider A
You may pass. Next!
[10:20] soldier B
You don't have a travel permit?
[10:21] solider B
Hey, take this guy in!
[10:23] soldier C
Sir!
[10:24] solider C
Come on. You come this way.
[10:26] solider C
Hurry up!
[10:29] Alan
Looks like you need a
travel permit to get in.
[10:33] Lise
It only makes sense that security in the
capital would be particularly stringent.
[10:37] Curtis
The assassination has something
to do with it, I imagine.
[10:40] Curtis
They can't let something
like that happen again.
[10:43] Alan
Curtis is one thing, but it'll be hard
for the rest of us to get in through the gate.
[10:48] Noelle
Why? We just need to get
a travel permit, right?
[10:51] Alan
Huh? I mean...
[10:53] Alan
An elf and Amazoness,
both of which are rare in the Empire...
[10:56] Alan
The former first princess of
the Kingdom of Adoastella...
[10:59] Alan
And an unidentified, rootless wanderer.
[11:02] Alan
There's no way anyone would simply
give us a travel permit, is there?
[11:07] Curtis
Isn't there anything we can try?
[11:09] Mylène
Charge straight through!
[11:10] Curtis
What?
[11:11] Lise
Alan could do it.
[11:13] Alan
Don't ask me to do anything that crazy.
[11:16] Noelle
Have a stroke of genius?
[11:18] Lise
Yes! We'll dig a hole!
[11:20] Lise
We'll dig a really long tunnel
and bypass the walls!
[11:24] Lise
That's how we'll sneak into the capital!
[11:29] Alan
If we come out somewhere
full of enemy soldiers,
[11:31] Alan
that'd be the end of us then and there.
[11:34] Noelle
Besides, how many days
would it take to dig that?
[11:37] Lise
I'm sorry.
[11:39] Curtis
No, Lise-san! That's a really brilliant idea!
[11:43] Curtis
The imperial capital has secret tunnels!
[11:46] Curtis
Oh! Forgive me.
[11:48] Alan
What do you mean?
[11:50] Curtis
Only certain people affiliated
with the imperial family know,
[11:53] Curtis
but the city has secret underground catacombs.
[11:55] Noelle
Why would it have something like that?
[11:57] Curtis
I've heard they're for escape
in cases of emergency.
[12:00] Curtis
Apparently, they've hardly ever been used.
[12:02] Alan
So we can evade the guards' notice
if we come in through those.
[12:06] Curtis
Yes.
[12:07] Curtis
It will be risky for a large
group to sneak in,
[12:11] Curtis
so the two of us will go through the gate.
[12:13] Noelle
Then we'll meet up later.
[12:16] Curtis
It pains me to suggest a route that
carries danger, however minor.
[12:21] Alan
This is for Henriette. Solving big problems
often means small sacrifices.
[12:25] Curtis
Thank you.
[12:58] Noelle
This place is creepy.
[13:00] Mylène
It's all rundown.
[13:02] Lise
It truly must not see much use.
[13:04] Alan
I'm sure it's rare that
the imperial capital is attacked.
[13:11] Alan
Wait.
[13:12] Noelle
What is it?
[13:14] Noelle
Someone's coming!
[13:16] Alan
This is bad.
[13:18] Lise
Is there anywhere we can hide?
[13:30] Lise
That was close, wasn't it?
[13:33] Alan
You saved us, Mylène.
[13:37] Noelle
Are you all right?
[13:38] Mylène
Just a little tired.
[13:41] Noelle
Don't push yourself, all right?
[13:44] Mylène
Understood.
[13:46] Lise
Those soldiers just now...
[13:48] Alan
Yeah, they were Black Wolf Knights.
[13:50] Lise
Are they here looking for us?
[13:52] Alan
Probably.
[13:54] Noelle
Don't tell me Curtis got caught
and now they know where we are!
[13:58] Alan
Or it could be...
[14:00] Lizette
Well, well. I was getting tired of waiting.
[14:03] Lizette
Suppressing my presence and waiting quietly
is really hard labor, you know?
[14:09] Lizette
Come, now. If you go invisible like that,
[14:12] Lizette
you make me look like some weirdo
just talking to myself.
[14:15] Lizette
I'd prefer you knock it off!
[14:18] Lizette
Well, we meet again, mysterious young man.
[14:22] Alan
You saw me?
[14:24] Lizette
I can't see you.
[14:25] Lizette
But I do know where you are.
[14:28] Lizette
The Amazoness's strange power doesn't
erase things from existence.
[14:33] Lizette
It just makes them invisible.
[14:36] Alan
Huh.
[14:36] Lizette
Even if you hold your breath
and halt your footsteps,
[14:42] Lizette
with my hearing, I can tell
exactly where you are!
[14:46] Lise; overlapping
Mylène-san!
[14:46] Noelle; overlapping
Mylène!
[14:48] Lizette
I have no intention of taking
the ladies' lives.
[14:51] Lizette
I only have business with the young man.
[14:54] Lizette
But the same tricks won't work on me twice.
[14:57] Alan
Go on without me.
[14:58] Lise
Alan-kun, we can't leave you here!
[15:00] Mylène
No!
[15:01] Noelle
We'll stay, too!
[15:03] Alan
Sorry, but I'm not confident that I could
beat her while shielding all of you.
[15:10] Lise
Let's go.
[15:15] Noelle
Make sure you catch up to us.
[15:23] Lizette
Now, shall we begin?
[15:26] Lizette
For a duel like this,
would you prefer a starting signal?
[15:31] Alan
I don't care. Do as you like.
[15:33] Lizette
Then I'll take you up on that!
[15:47] Lise
You're safe, aren't you, Curtis-san?!
[15:50] Curtis
What about all of you?
[15:52] Curtis
Where is Alan-san?
[15:53] Lise
We were attacked by a
Black Wolf Knight underground.
[15:56] Noelle
They were waiting for us!
[15:58] Mylène
It was a trap! A trap!
[15:59] Curtis
What?
[16:07] Alan
You've had a number of chances
[16:09] Alan
but haven't sent my head flying.
Is this your true strength?
[16:11] Alan
Or is something holding you back?
[16:15] Lizette
Would you cease your strange accusations?
[16:23] Henriette
Should anything happen to befall Alan
and the others, I will kill you.
[16:31] Alan
See what I mean?
[16:33] Lizette
I suppose I'll just have to get
a little more serious about this.
[16:39] Alan
Is this your doing, too?
[16:41] Lizette
That wasn't me.
[16:43] Alan
At this rate, we'll both be buried alive.
[16:46] Lizette
Looks like it.
[16:49] Lizette
Is that what's going on?
[16:55] Lise
That's the direction
of the underground tunnels!
[16:58] Mylène
Don't tell me...
[16:59] Noelle
Did they get buried alive?
[17:03] Lise
Oh no!
[17:05] Lise
Alan-kun...
[17:07] Alan
You called?
[17:14] Lise
Alan-kun!
[17:18] Lise
I was really, truly worried!
[17:22] Alan
Sorry.
[17:23] Noelle
Hey, could you save it for
when you're alone together?
[17:27] Lise
I-I-I-I-I'm so sorry!
[17:30] Noelle
Honestly! You showed up
like you'd planned that.
[17:32] Mylène
That's Alan for you!
[17:37] Alan
What's wrong?
[17:38] Alan
You look like you've just seen
a man you thought was dead.
[17:41] Curtis
N-Not at all! I'm glad you're all right.
[17:44] Alan
Now then, how do we rescue Henriette?
[17:47] Alan
Do you have some kind of plan?
[17:50] Curtis
Actually, I don't have a plan yet.
[17:52] Curtis
You should get some rest tonight.
[17:54] Curtis
We'll think about it tomorrow.
[17:56] Curtis
You must all be tired.
[17:58] Noelle
That's true.
[18:00] Mylène
Mylène is sleepy.
[18:02] Curtis
There's a bedroom next to this one.
You can rest there.
[18:09] Alan
That should do it.
[18:10] Curtis
Alan-san, where are you going?
[18:12] Alan
Just a little errand.
[18:22] Alan
Wow. Tales of heroes, huh?
[18:25] Alan
You've liked those for ages... Ages?
[18:28] Alan
I guess it would be better
to say "lives" at this point.
[18:31] Henriette
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What in the world
are you doing here?!
[18:35] Alan
What am I doing?
[18:36] Alan
I heard you're being framed
for assassinating the emperor.
[18:41] Henriette
I swear... You teleported, didn't you?
[18:44] Alan
Yeah. It's just me, after all.
[18:47] Henriette
Well, what do you want?
[18:49] Henriette
You're not going to say that
you've come to save me, are you?
[18:52] Alan
That was the plan.
[18:54] Henriette
Oh, please. Do you think I'm
going to be hanged or something?
[18:58] Alan
You aren't?
[19:00] Henriette
You're less keen than you seem.
[19:03] Henriette
In the end, false charges are false charges.
[19:06] Alan
So you're saying...
[19:07] Henriette
In spite of everything,
I'm the head of the Lindqvist family.
[19:10] Henriette
Realistically, they can't execute me.
[19:14] Henriette
Right about now, I'm sure the powers that be
are discussing how to settle this quietly.
[19:20] Henriette
At worst, I'll be stripped of my rank
and exiled, wouldn't you say?
[19:24] Alan
In that case, I guess I jumped
to the wrong conclusions.
[19:28] Henriette
Yes, you did. This is most unusual for you.
[19:32] Henriette
Were you just that worried about me?
[19:36] Alan
Yes, I was.
[19:42] Henriette
Go away.
[19:44] Henriette
Alan, I don't need you to save me,
[19:47] Henriette
and there's no need to worry.
[19:51] Alan
Is that true?
[19:53] Henriette
Don't make me repeat myself.
[19:57] Henriette
Hurry up and go back to your kingdom!
[20:00] Alan
All right.
[20:03] Alan
Henriette.
[20:06] Alan
I'll see you later.
[20:09] Henriette
Yes.
[20:11] Henriette
Farewell.
[20:21] Henriette
What am I doing?
[20:28] Curtis
Alan-san?
[20:29] Curtis
Alan-san!
[20:31] Alan
Sorry! What were you saying?
[20:33] Curtis
Nee-san is suspected of colluding
with your kingdom to betray the empire.
[20:39] Alan
Oh, really?
[20:41] Noelle
Is that all you have to say?
[20:43] Noelle
Do you understand what's going on here?
[20:45] Curtis
If you saved Nee-san and it became public,
[20:49] Curtis
your kingdom would be seen
as abetting the assassination.
[20:52] Curtis
It may plunge us into war.
[20:55] Curtis
That is the one thing we must avoid!
[20:57] Alan
So we should quietly leave the empire
without doing anything?
[21:04] Alan
That's what you mean, right?
[21:06] Curtis
Exactly. As frustrating as I'm sure that is.
[21:09] Noelle
How could we possibly agree to that?
[21:12] Lise
We can't simply abandon Lady Henriette!
[21:14] Mylène
Objection! Objection!
[21:15] Curtis
That's precisely how I feel!
[21:18] Curtis
No, I have Nee-san in my
thoughts more than any of you!
[21:21] Curtis
Which is why I'll figure
something out myself.
[21:25] Curtis
I will save Nee-san! Please, trust me!
[21:31] Lise
Alan-kun?
[21:34] Alan
Let's go.
[23:18] Curtis
It's been a while, hasn't it, Nee-san?
[23:21] Curtis
What's this? Do you not know who I am?
[23:24] Curtis
Well, I have changed quite a lot
since the last time we met.
[23:31] Henriette
Curtis? Is that you?
[23:35] Henriette
Why are you here in a place like this...
[23:38] Henriette
Curtis Harnes Victour?

[00:00] Henriette
There's a veritable mountain of questions,
[00:03] Henriette
but let's start with who you're working for.
[00:06] Curtis
My, how upsetting.
[00:08] Curtis
I set all of this up on my own.
[00:11] Henriette
A lazy incompetent like you?
Don't be ridiculous.
[00:15] Curtis
I've changed.
[00:19] Henriette
That's...
[00:21] Curtis
This power turned the tables for me.
[00:25] Henriette
But the authority to command
the Black Wolf Knights
[00:28] Henriette
is passed through the imperial family.
[00:32] Henriette
You killed them all, didn't you?!
[00:34] Curtis
Of course not.
I just threatened them a little.
[00:37] Curtis
They're pathetic, always here in the castle,
so arrogantly relaxed about everything.
[00:42] Curtis
Yet every last one of them ran away!
[00:44] Henriette
So, what is it that you're trying to do?
[00:48] Henriette
Why'd you try to pin
the assassination on Henriette?
[00:52] Curtis
There was no other way.
In order to make my wish come true,
[00:56] Curtis
I need your help, Nee-san!
[00:58] Henriette
Your wish?
[01:00] Henriette
You can't possibly mean...
[01:02] Curtis
That's right! I want to become
the rightful emperor!
[01:06] Curtis
But as things stand,
no one will acknowledge me.
[01:09] Curtis
You understand, don't you?
[01:11] Curtis
My mother was a peasant.
[01:14] Henriette
As the son of a branch family,
you mean to marry into House Lindqvist
[01:17] Henriette
and gain legitimacy that way.
[01:20] Curtis
You're so quick on the uptake!
That's my Nee-san.
[01:24] Curtis
Now, let us hurry out of here...
[01:27] Curtis
and rule over this empire together!
[01:32] Curtis
Nee-san?
[01:33] Henriette
That's so stupid! Really, truly stupid!
[01:38] Henriette
Curtis! I didn't think you were the kind of
guy to have such a cliche, inane ambition!
[01:43] Curtis
Inane ambition? This is for you, too, Nee-san.
[01:48] Henriette
What?
[01:49] Curtis
If you rule this land with me,
[01:52] Curtis
you can take revenge on
everyone who persecuted you!
[01:55] Henriette
Sorry, but Henriette only looks to the future.
[01:58] Henriette
She has no interest in revenge.
[02:01] Henriette
If you're gonna do this, do it alone.
[02:05] Henriette
Henriette is suddenly exhausted
and will be going to sleep.
[02:10] Curtis
Y-Yes, of course. You must be confused
having this sprung on you.
[02:15] Curtis
We're talking about marriage, after all.
[02:20] Curtis
Nee-san, you have such a cute side to you.
[02:25] Curtis
I'll give you time to think things over.
[02:28] Curtis
Though I shouldn't have to ask
what your answer is.
[02:37] Curtis
She's being pointlessly stubborn.
[02:40] Curtis
That was quite the disaster,
wasn't it, Lizette?
[02:44] Curtis
I heard that a blunder nearly
got you buried alive.
[02:47] Curtis
You're not hurt, are you?
[02:49] Lizette
There's no need for concern.
[02:51] Lizette
More importantly, I'm sorry I wasn't
able to put an end to that young man.
[02:55] Curtis
Don't worry about it. He's left the empire.
[02:59] Curtis
And he's not likely to return.

[04:44] Noelle
I feel like I can't breathe!
[04:46] Noelle
Is this atmosphere gonna last
all the way back to the kingdom?
[04:52] Lise
I'm sorry.
[04:53] Alan
But there isn't really anything
to talk about, is there?
[04:56] Noelle
Then I'm gonna say something!
[04:58] Noelle
I won't complain about a decision
you've already made, Alan.
[05:02] Noelle
If you say you're going back to the
kingdom, then I'm going with you.
[05:06] Noelle
After all, Alan...
[05:08] Mylène
You love him?
[05:09] Noelle
No! I trust him!
I meant that I believe in him!
[05:13] Noelle
So, um, what I'm trying to say here is...
[05:16] Alan
I understand. It's about Henriette, right?
[05:19] Noelle
Yes.
[05:20] Noelle
I don't know that the choice
you made was the right one...
[05:24] Noelle
but it wasn't wrong, either.
[05:27] Lise
That's true. Lady Henriette can likely
cope with the situation herself.
[05:33] Alan
She told me she didn't need my help
when she sent me away.
[05:38] Noelle
I swear. When did you even see her?
[05:40] Mylène
That's Alan for you.
[05:42] Alan
Well, you know...
[05:44] Noelle
In any case, don't beat yourself up over it.
[05:47] Noelle
It just wasn't something
we could solve ourselves this time.
[05:51] Alan
Thank you, Noelle.
[05:52] Alan
Now then, to lighten the mood,
why don't we take an afternoon break?
[05:56] Alan
Say, could you stop when you
find somewhere that looks good?
[06:00] Lise; internal
Yes, this was for the best.
[06:07] Henriette
If that's food, Henriette doesn't want it.
[06:10] Lizette
I've come to deliver something you forgot.
[06:12] Lizette
I'm sorry you got thrown
into a place like this.
[06:17] Henriette
It isn't your fault.
[06:21] Henriette
If you would, just leave it over there.
[06:25] Lizette
Understood.
[06:31] (Flashback) Alan
Wow. Tales of heroes, huh?
[06:34] (Flashback) Alan
You've liked those for ages... Ages?
[06:37] (Flashback) Alan
I guess it would be better
to say "lives" at this point.
[06:39] Henriette
You're right.
[06:41] Henriette
I've loved heroic tales...
[06:44] Henriette
ever since my last life.
[06:47] (Flashback) disciple A
She's reading books again?
[06:49] (Flashback) disciple B
Imitating humans... What a strange girl.
[06:52] (Flashback) disciple Henriette
No one asked your opinion.
[06:55] (Flashback) disciple Henriette
Heroes...
[07:01] Henriette; narration
They never ask for a reward.
[07:04] Henriette; narration
They always fight for others
and save the world.
[07:08] Henriette; narration
They crush every incomprehensible hardship.
[07:10] Henriette; narration
And the moment they stopped
tragedy in its tracks,
[07:13] Henriette; narration
my heart would always feel lighter.
[07:15] Henriette; narration
But there was one thing that bothered me...
[07:19] Henriette; narration
The hero's ultimate untimely death.
[07:22] Henriette; narration
Even though that is
the natural way of the world,
[07:25] Henriette; narration
I just can't stand it.
[07:28] Henriette; narration
In order to prevent such a tragic ending,
[07:32] Henriette; narration
I worked my hardest to guide Alan.
[07:35] (Flashback) Henriette
Not that way! Go right!
[07:39] (Flashback) Henriette
His weakness is the spot between his eyes!
[07:42] Henriette; narration
But... it didn't change his ending.
[07:57] Henriette
That's why I'm fine with this.
[07:59] Henriette
Alan, I'll be taking my leave
of this place a bit ahead of you.
[08:07] Curtis
Hey, Nee-san. Sorry to keep you waiting.
[08:10] Henriette
No one was waiting for you.
[08:13] Curtis
As scathing as ever, I see.
[08:15] Curtis
So, what do you say?
[08:17] Curtis
Are you of a mind to work with me now?
[08:19] Henriette
The answer is obvious.
[08:21] Henriette
Cooperating with you is
utterly out of the question.
[08:25] Curtis
But why? At this rate, they'll execute you.
[08:28] Henriette
Is that something the person
who set this all up should be saying?
[08:32] Henriette
Not that it matters.
Hurry up and bring the noose.
[08:37] Curtis
Nee-san, stop being stubborn.
[08:40] Henreitte
Did you honestly think that Henriette
would agree to work with you?
[08:45] Henriette
If so, you're a rather simple-minded fool.
[08:50] Curtis
That's enough!
[08:51] Henriette
Same to you!
[08:53] Curtis
If you refuse to go along with it, then fine.
[08:58] Curtis
I'll dispatch an assassin immediately
[09:00] Curtis
and have Alan killed!
[09:02] Henriette
Only if you have an assassin that
can hold their own against him.
[09:08] Curtis
I'll burn the Elven Forest down!
[09:10] Henriette
Henriette will swallow her tongue
and die before you could!
[09:17] Curtis
This is just...
[09:20] Curtis
Why? Why?! Why are you like this?
[09:23] Curtis
Nee-san! Nee-san, I...
[09:30] Henriette
Do you feel better now?
[09:32] Curtis
I-I didn't mean...
[09:34] Curtis
Nee-san!
[09:35] Curtis
I didn't mean for this to happen!
[09:45] Curtis
Curses! Curses! Why isn't anything
working out like it should?
[09:54] Curtis
That's right. That's it.
If she won't be mine, then...
[10:06] Noelle
Errands done!
[10:08] Mylène
All done!
[10:09] Noelle
This should see us all
the way back to the kingdom.
[10:12] Alan
Sorry, you two.
[10:14] Alan
There's something I forgot to ask for.
[10:16] Alan
Can I send you on another errand?
[10:18] Noelle
Ugh. Yeah, I guess.
[10:21] Noelle
Get everything packed
by the time we're back, okay?
[10:24] Alan
Sure. Leave it to me.
[10:27] Alan
You wanted to talk to me
about something, right?
[10:31] Alan
I just got that feeling from you.
[10:34] Lise
Let's go back and rescue Lady Henriette.
[10:39] Lise
I understand that taking action
might worsen the situation.
[10:44] Lise
So I can see why we'd leave
without doing anything.
[10:48] Lise
I understand it, but I don't want to accept it!
[10:51] Alan
Even if Henriette
doesn't want to be rescued?
[10:56] Lise
Even so. Even if it's just
my own selfish desire,
[10:59] Lise
I want to go and save her!
[11:04] Celia as guard
If you want to, then you
should go and save her.
[11:07] Celia as guard
You needn't be rational
when you want to save someone.
[11:10] Celia as guard
That principle is what led you to save
the people of this town, isn't it?
[11:16] Lise
Might you possibly be...
[11:23] Henriette
You again?
[11:25] Curtis
Nee-san, come and rule the empire with me.
[11:29] Henriette
Do it yourself.
[11:31] Curtis
Please rethink this.
[11:33] Henriette
You're being annoying.
[11:34] Curtis
I need you, Nee-san!
[11:36] Henriette
Stop it!
[11:40] Curtis
All right. Fine then.
[11:50] Curtis
I'll kill you and make you mine alone!
[11:59] Henriette
You really are just...
[12:05] Curtis
You should've just quietly disappeared.
[12:09] Curtis
You're...
[12:12] Curtis
C-Celia!
[12:14] Curtis
You've betrayed me!
[12:17] Celia
Betrayed you? I serve the Victour Empire.
[12:21] Celia
Harming citizens for your own selfish ends...
[12:24] Celia
A tyrant who'd frame the innocent...
[12:26] Celia
I have no recollection
of serving the likes of you!
[12:28] Alan
Well, we're keeping everyone waiting.
[12:31] Alan
Let's finish this quickly.
SIGN THE BANISHED FORMER HERO
LIVES AS HE PLEASES
[12:41] (Flashback) demon
What is your wish?
[12:43] (Flashback) Curtis
Nee-san. I want Henriette-neesan.
[12:48] (Flashback) Curtis
I want to make her mine.
[12:58] (Flashback) Curtis
What have you done?
[12:59] (Flashback) Curtis
H-Harming His Imperial Majesty is...
[13:02] (Flashback) demon
A necessary sacrifice
for granting your wish.
[13:06] (Flashback) Curtis
Th-Then if I become emperor,
Nee-san will be mine?
[13:13] (Flashback) Curtis
But that's impossible.
[13:14] (Flashback) Curtis
I'm an outsider who'd never
be allowed in the royal family.
[13:18] (Flashback) Curtis
I could never become emperor!
[13:21] (Flashback) demon
And what if you had the power
to overturn everything?
[13:26] (Flashback) Curtis
Wh-Where would power like that come from?
[14:03] Curtis
Are you mocking me?
[14:05] Curtis
You are helpless before my power!
You're nothing!
[14:10] Alan
You're talking like that
power belongs to you,
[14:12] Alan
but it isn't yours, is it?
[14:15] Curtis
S-S-Silence!
[14:36] Curtis
Tch! Stop moving around!
[14:38] Henriette
Stop this already, Curtis!
[14:41] Henriette
Alan isn't someone you can beat!
[14:44] Curtis
I'll overpower him!
[14:52] Henriette
Are you all right?
[14:53] Celia
Y-Yes, somehow.
[14:55] Henriette
You went and accepted the power of a demon.
[14:58] Henriette
Do you really want to be
emperor that badly?
[15:01] Alan
Huh? You still haven't realized?
[15:04] Alan
Henriette, you're pretty dense.
[15:06] Henriette
Dense?
[15:08] Alan
Not that I should talk.
[15:10] Curtis
Don't speak to Nee-san!
[15:27] Curtis
Blast it! It was all going so well!
[15:31] Curtis
Why did you come and interfere?
[15:33] Alan
It was going well?
[15:35] Alan
You really thought no one had
caught on to such a sloppy plan?
[15:39] Alan
Your naivete is almost commendable.
[15:43] Alan
But there was one thing I didn't understand.
[15:46] Alan
And that's your objective.
[15:48] Curtis
It's obvious, isn't it?
I want to be the rightful emperor.
[15:52] Curtis
No, I must become the emperor.
[15:54] Alan
Then why did you approach us?
[15:57] Alan
Why did you try to take my life?
[15:59] Alan
As far as the empire's concerned,
I'm just an outsider.
[16:03] Curtis
That's because... you're in the way.
[16:06] Alan
Well, I finally figured it out.
[16:08] Alan
The emperor's throne means nothing to you...
[16:12] Alan
because what you really want is Henriette.
[16:16] Curtis
No! No, you're wrong! You're wrong!
[16:18] Alan
Then let me ask you this.
Why do you want to be emperor?
[16:21] Alan
Once you have the crown, what will you do?
[16:24] Curtis
When I become emperor, I'll rule this land...
[16:29] Curtis
I'll rule the land a-and... I...
[16:32] Curtis
Wh-What did I want to do?!
[16:35] Alan
I thought so. That power has consumed you.
[16:39] Curtis
No, it hasn't!
[16:40] Alan
You can't seem to think straight
and your morals are wavering.
[16:44] Alan
Don't you sense it?
[16:45] Alan
You're hurting the person
most precious to you... and for what?
[16:55] Curtis
I... I...
[17:04] Celia
Come, let us go.
[17:15] Celia
Lady Henriette?
[17:20] Henriette
Curtis, I can't return your feelings,
[17:24] Henriette
but if there's anything I can do to help...
[17:28] Henriette
Curtis?
[17:29] Curtis
I knew it.
[17:31] Curtis
I knew it was his fault that you
were acting strangely, Nee-san!
[17:34] Curtis
You won't look at me because of him!
[17:39] Curtis
Wait for me, Nee-san!
[17:40] Curtis
I'm going to kill him now!
[17:42] Alan
Curtis! You have to let go of that power!
[17:45] Alan
There's still time!
[17:46] Curtis
No! I will have everything!
[17:49] Curtis
Nee-san! The emperor's throne!
[17:52] Curtis
The empire! The world!
[17:54] Curtis
Everything!
[17:56] Alan
You leave me no choice.
[17:57] Alan
Whether you become emperor or rule
the whole world makes no difference to me.
[18:02] Alan
But you're giving Henriette back.
[18:05] Curtis
Nee-san belongs to me!
[18:07] Curtis
I'm not letting the likes of you have her!
[18:12] Celia
What terrifying power!
[18:18] Curtis
Die!
[18:27] Celia
Captain?
[18:29] Henriette
Lizette?
[18:30] Henriette
What do you think you're doing?
[18:33] Lizette
I owe that young man there a favor.
[18:36] Henriette
You mean Alan?
[18:37] Curtis
Lizette, do you understand what you've done?
[18:42] Lizette
An act of rebellion, I believe.
[18:44] Curtis
What?
[18:45] Lizette
You're going to lose anyway.
[18:47] Lizette
So I decided to intrude and get
a hit in before that happened.
[18:53] Curtis
Very well.
[18:54] Curtis
I'll slaughter all of you with my own hands!
[19:00] Curtis
This is the end!
[19:02] Alan
Yes, let's finish this.
[19:04] Curtis
Cease your false show of strength!
[19:07] Alan
I'm going to go all out now
without reservation.
[19:10] Alan
Henriette isn't near you anymore, you see?
[19:13] Curtis
Sh-Shut up!
[19:16] Curtis
You can just...
[19:26] Curtis
Th-This can't be!
[19:28] Curtis
You dare...
[19:31] Alan
World End, Ultimate Skill: Flash!
[19:44] Alan
Curtis.
[19:46] Curtis
It's like the power of a god.
[19:50] Curtis
Who are you, really?
[19:52] Alan
I'm just Alan.
[19:54] Alan
A failure who was expelled from a duchy
in the neighboring kingdom.
[19:58] Curtis
With power like yours, you could
have whatever you wanted.
[20:02] Curtis
You could be the absolute ruler
of our entire world.
[20:06] Curtis
You could have anything you wished for.
[20:08] Curtis
So why haven't you tried
to become something?
[20:12] Alan
Even if I had control over the whole world,
[20:15] Alan
someone would appear to break that control.
[20:18] Alan
That's just the way the world works.
[20:21] Curtis
I wonder about that.
[20:23] Alan
Besides, things like political power and
world domination have never interested me.
[20:30] Alan
All I want is to live peacefully.
[20:34] Curtis
How unfair.
[20:36] Curtis
If I'd had your power, everyone
would have acknowledged me.
[20:39] Curtis
I wouldn't have been ridiculed or neglected.
[20:42] Curtis
And Nee-san would have...
[20:45] Alan
It's not as nice as you think it is...
[20:49] Alan
All of this.
[20:52] Curtis
Even so, I wish...
[21:00] Henriette
Alan!
[21:01] Alan
Henriette. Are you hurt?
[21:03] Henriette
I'm fine, but...
[21:05] Alan
But what?
[21:06] Henriette
Just... good work coming to save me.
[21:10] Henriette
No, that's not it.
[21:12] Henriette
It's, um... Th-Thank...
[21:16] Alan
Huh?
[21:17] Henriette
Oh, why did you come back?!
[21:19] Henriette
How many times did I tell you
I didn't need saving?
[21:22] Alan
Who knows? Why did I come back?
[21:25] Henriette
Honestly! Why do you always go sticking your
nose in wherever you feel like?!
[21:31] Lizette
I'm sorry to interrupt when you two
are having such a touching moment.
[21:35] Henriette
This is not a touching moment!
[21:37] Lizette
You should escape
before things get complicated.
[21:40] Alan
That's true.
[21:42] Henriette
Things seem pretty complicated already.
[21:46] Alan
Well, let's go!
[21:48] Henriette
Alan.
[21:49] Alan
Huh?
[21:53] Henriette
It's nothing.
[21:56] Henriette; narration
Curtis Harnes Victour had joined forces
with a demon to assassinate the emperor.
[22:01] Henriette; narration
The truth was buried in darkness...
[22:04] Henriette; narration
and Henriette Lindqvist was executed.
[22:08] Henriette; narration
Thus, the Lindqvist family came to an end.
[22:16] Henriette
What a tragic ending.
The tears just won't stop.
[22:20] Alan
So, why is the supposedly dead
Henriette sitting in front of me?
[22:24] Alan
Are you a ghost?
[22:27] Henriette
Want to touch me and find out?
[22:29] Lise
Lady Henriette!
[22:31] Alan
I decline with every fiber of my being.
[22:34] Noelle
Then we will...
[22:36] Mylène
...touch and see.
[22:38] Henriette
Wait! Stop!
[22:42] Noelle
Wow, that's amazing!
[22:44] Mylène
It looks delicious.
[22:47] Henriette
Why did you come to save me?
[22:50] Alan
When I was banished from my parents' home,
[22:52] Alan
I thought that I'd live peacefully,
this time for sure, doing whatever I want.
[23:00] Alan
I saved you because I wanted to.
[23:01] Alan
Even if that wasn't what you wanted.
[23:08] Henriette
That's not...
[23:10] Lise
Alan-kun! Lady Henriette!
[23:13] Lise
Let's have breakfast!
[23:15] Alan
Okay! I'm coming!
[23:27] Henriette
Alan, you really are my...
[23:31] Henriette
No, you're everyone's...
[23:33] Henriette
hero.
