[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
    Alan.
[22:01] Noelle
    Use that sword...
[22:03] Noelle
    against... against that thing...
[22:07] Noelle
    and kill it!
