[00:01] Retailer
    This man, in spite of being an emissary,
    had plans on the life of our king.
[00:08] Retailer
    A grave crime that, in accordance with law,
    is to be punished with immediate execution.
[00:12] Retailer
    Yet, the council has shown him mercy.
[00:16] Retailer
    He and his family will be
    escorted back to their country,
[00:19] Retailer
    where they will await sentencing.
[00:21] Mother
    Dear!
[00:22] Child
    Papa.
[00:25] Father
    Wait, please!
[00:26] Father
    It's true that I attempted to harm the king!
[00:29] Father
    But that was my crime alone!
[00:32] Father
    I beg you, spare my wife and child!
[00:36] Father
    Returning home would mean
    suffering worse than death...
[00:41] Father
    Which I accept as my punishment!
[00:42] Father
    But my family, please...
[00:46] Father
    Please, spare them, King Grey!
[00:50] Retainers
    Know your place.
[00:52] Retainers
    The king is the light which guides us.
[00:54] Retainers
    This trifle is not worth his consideration.
[00:58] Retainers
    Judgment has already been passed!
[01:01] Mother
    No!
[01:02] Child
    Mama!
[01:03] Father
    Please, O King, spare them!
[01:16] Retainers
    The king has carried out
    judgment by his own hand...
[01:19] Retainers
    But, behold! This is true mercy.
[01:23] Retainers
    The two of them have now been
    spared endless suffering!
[01:33] Father
    You have my thanks... O King.
[01:51] Rey
    Now you can be just like Daddy!
[01:59] Rey
    Why not?!
[02:01] Grey
    With this body, a weapon like that
[02:03] Grey
    would get me killed before
    I was within striking range.
[02:06] Rey
    Okay, come right at me!
[02:16] Rey
    Attaboy, Arthur.
[02:19] Grey
    I see.
[02:33] Arthur
    What do you think, Daddy?
[04:10] Rey
    I think Arthur might need a proper teacher.
SIGN    The King, Under Attack.
[04:14] Alice
    No. Absolutely not.
[04:17] Alice
    You said you'd train him yourself!
[04:21] Rey
    And that was the plan.
[04:22] Rey
    But he's just so talented.
[04:26] Rey
    He'd have a lot to gain from a real mentor.
[04:29] Alice
    I can teach him a bit of magic—
[04:32] Rey
    Your magic is a special case.
[04:33] Alice
    But...
[04:36] Rey
    He was able to cut through this
    when it was reinforced with mana.
[04:39] Rey
    And he's only four!
[04:41] Alice
    No way...
[04:43] Rey
    It's what's best for him.
[04:49] Alice
    I'm still against it!
[04:51] Alice
    There's no way I can leave my sweet little
    Arthur in some far off town! Never!
[04:57] Rey
    But think about his future!
[05:00] Alice
    I'm thinking about his present!
    Don't you want him around?
[05:03] Rey
    Of course I do! He's my sweet little guy!
[05:06] Alice
    Then what's wrong with things as they are now?!
[05:08] Rey
    Right... Wait, not right!
[05:11] Rey
    Look, his future is on the line!
     Don't you get that?
[05:12] Grey
    There are times when emotions cause
    someone's perspective to become narrow.
[05:13] Alice
    No.
[05:14] Rey
    You can't just say "no."
[05:15] Alice
    Absolutely not.
[05:16] Rey
    Of course I love him, but we're
    talking about two separate things.
[05:17] Grey
    That is why I proposed a third option.
[05:18] Alice
    "No" means no!
[05:18] Rey
    Why not?!
[05:19] Alice
    Are you seriously considering sending
    this little angel off on his own?!
[05:21] Arthur
    Can't we all go?
[05:30] Rey
    He's brilliant!
[05:32] Rey
    Our Arthur really is a prodigy.
[05:35] Alice
    We should start packing right away.
[05:37] Rey
    People are going to be calling him a genius!
[05:38] Grey
    They have so much energy.
[05:40] Alice
    Really!
[05:41] Alice
    Maybe even more than a genius!
[05:42] Rey
    Yeah!
[05:52] Rey
    Arthur, introduce yourself.
[05:55] Arthur
    I'm Arthur Leywin. It's nice to meet you.
[06:02] Adam
    We met before, but you were even smaller
    back then, so you probably don't remember.
[06:08] Grey
    No, I remember.
[06:15] Grey
    These are the Twinhorns, the party that
    Reynolds and Alice used to belong to.
[06:23] Grey
    I believe his name was...
[06:25] Adam
    I'm Adam Krensh.
[06:28] Angela
    I'm Angela Rose! And look
    how cute you've gotten!
[06:33] Angela
    Little cutie!
[06:34] Grey
    I can't breathe.
[06:40] Arthur
    Th-Thank you.
[06:44] Durden
    Durden Walker.
[06:55] Helen
    She's Jasmine Flamesworth.
[06:58] Helen
    And I'm Helen Shard.
[07:00] Helen
    It's nice to have you along, Arthur.
[07:03] Arthur
    Thank you, Helen.
[07:07] Rey
    All right, let's get moving.
[07:22] Alice
    Are you looking forward to
    your first big trip, Arthur?
[07:27] Grey
    Such a primitive method of transportation.
[07:31] Grey
    Nothing like what I had in my past life.
[07:39] Grey
    But not without its charms.
[07:49] Grey
    We're apparently headed for a city called Xyrus.
[07:53] Grey
    It should prove interesting,
[07:54] Grey
    but there is one issue that
    presents itself in the meantime.
[08:12] Grey
    This world is dangerous.
[08:35] Grey
    Adam, Helen, and Jasmine are Augmenters.
[08:49] Grey
    Angela and Durden seem to be Conjurers.
[08:52] Grey
    They move well. I need to
    become like that soon.
[08:57] Rey
    We're gonna be eating well tonight!
[09:07] Rey
    No need to hold back, okay?
[09:09] Arthur
    Okay!
[09:10] Grey
    We're in the middle of a trip. No sense in
    expecting much in the way of amenities.
[09:14] Grey
    At least it's fresh.
[09:18] Arthur
    What's wrong?
[09:20] Alice
    I'm just full already.
[09:28] Alice
    Honey, your arm...
[09:30] Rey
    Oh, I didn't notice.
[09:32] Alice
    One second.
[09:33] Helen
    Alice.
[09:46] Helen
    Go ahead.
[09:54] Grey
    Alice is apparently a special type of mage,
    called an Emitter, with healing powers.
[10:01] Grey
    The rarity and value of her skill makes
    healing people in the open inadvisable.
[10:06] Grey
    She could become a target.
[10:08] Grey
    Part of the reason she and Reynolds were living
    in the country is the anonymity it offered.
[10:16] Alice
    You should be healed now.
[10:18] Rey
    Thanks, Alice.
[10:24] Adam
    Reynolds, I was hoping to get a
    little exercise in before bed.
[10:28] Adam
    Mind if I borrow Arthur?
[10:37] Grey
    I doubt this will be simple exercise.
[10:42] Grey
    Which is worrying, but not
    worth objecting about.
[10:46] Grey
    Has he forgotten that I'm only four years old?
[10:51] Adam
    You ready?
[10:53] Arthur
    Y-Yeah.
[10:56] Grey
    Now, how far can I take this?
[11:00] Adam
    Okay, let's go.
[11:04] Grey
    It doesn't look like he'll be holding back.
[11:20] Grey
    Too slow!
[11:32] Alice
    Arthur!
[11:33] Grey
    As expected. This body is too light.
[11:40] Angela
    You okay?
[11:46] Arthur
    Thank you.
[11:48] Durden
    You went overboard.
[11:49] Helen
    Never heard of "restraint"?
[11:51] Adam
    Back off! You guys weren't the
    one fighting the little monster!
[11:55] Adam
    What kind of hellish training
    have you made him do?
[11:58] Rey
    Nothing, I swear.
[12:05] Arthur
    Wh-What?
[12:07] Jasmine
    How did you do that?
[12:11] Jasmine
    Tell me.
[12:13] Arthur
    Uh...
[12:15] Grey
    I know that look.
[12:18] Grey
    Eyes like that are a sign that someone
    won't relent until they get what they want.
[12:42] Grey
    The journey's proceeding apace.
[13:19] Grey
    I'm learning many new things,
[13:21] Grey
    and sharing knowledge from my past life
    also is also proving enlightening.
[13:56] Grey
    But there's been one unexpected development.
[14:03] Jasmine
    I heard it was your birthday, and I wanted
    to thank you for what you taught me.
[14:08] Arthur
    Th-Thank you, Jasmine.
[14:15] Grey
    She seems to have taken a liking to me.
[14:18] Jasmine
    There's a rope here.
[14:21] Arthur
    Oh, neat.
[14:24] Helen
    You never see Jasmine warm
    up to someone like that.
[14:27] Angela
    Tell me about it.
[14:29] Alice
    My son is just that cute!
[14:31] Adam
    Hey, we should get going!
[14:34] Helen/Angela
    Okay.
[14:37] Alice
    Come along, Arthur.
[14:39] Arthur
    Okay.
[14:45] Arthur
    What's wrong?
[14:52] Alice
    Nothing. I'm fine.
[15:12] Alice
    What is it?
[15:13] Helen
    Bandits!
[15:27] Arthur
    Not good.
[15:30] Grey
    We're completely surrounded.
[15:33] Bandit Leader
    Leave the women and kid alive.
[15:35] Bandit Leader
    And don't hurt 'em. They'll be worth less.
[15:46] Grey
    It seems every world is plagued
    with this sort of thing.
[15:52] Bandit Leader
    Go!
[15:58] Alice
    It's okay. Mommy is with you.
[16:01] Arthur
    Right, Mom.
[16:20] Grey
    On an individual basis,
    we've got the advantage. But...
[16:27] Angela
    Thanks!
[16:39] Grey
    There's strength in numbers.
[16:54] Alice
    Honey!
[16:58] Rey
    Don't!
[16:59] Alice
    Don't move!
[17:01] Rey
    I'm not hurt that badly,
[17:05] Rey
    but we'll be in real trouble
    if they learn about your power.
[17:10] Alice
    Reynolds...
[17:12] Rey
    Take your mom and get away from here.
[17:17] Arthur
    What are you saying?! I can fight, too!
    I'm already strong enough.
[17:23] Rey
    Then use that strength to protect her.
[17:27] Rey
    She's going to have another baby.
[17:40] Grey
    That explains it.
[17:44] Rey
    I'm counting on you, big brother.
[17:48] Arthur
    Okay.
[17:52] Bandit Leader
    Give it up.
[17:53] Rey
    Go, Arthur!
[17:55] Alice
    Rey!
[17:57] Bandit Leader
    Don't let them escape!
[18:01] Bandit Leader
    You're wasting your time.
[18:03] Rey
    Sorry, but this time I'm serious!
[18:09] Bandit C
    Don't let them escape!
[18:15] Adam
    Hurry!
[18:16] Jasmine
    We'll handle this.
[18:18] Helen
    Go, Arthur!
[18:25] Grey
    After taking so much, I'm on the run
    in order to avoid losing something.
[18:35] Grey
    Perhaps this is karma.
[18:40] Grey
    But...
[18:43] Arthur
    We should be okay now!
[18:52] Arthur
    Look out!
[19:03] Grey
    I won't go down without
    taking you with me.
[19:11] Angela
    Arthur!
[19:17] Alice
    Arthur!
[19:20] Grey
    It feels so strange. I've gained nothing,
[19:25] Grey
    but my heart feels fulfilled.
[19:30] Grey
    I think I finally understand...
[19:33] Grey
    What that man was asking of me.
[19:42] Grey
    And why the two of them cried.
[19:47] Grey
    The lack of hesitation in sacrificing
    oneself to save their family,
[19:52] Grey
    contrasted with the tears one sheds at
    the thought of never seeing them again.
[20:00] Grey
    Joy and sorrow, together.
[20:04] Grey
    And when it comes time to choose...
[20:08] Arthur
    Oh, yeah. I was gonna be a big brother.
[20:13] Grey
    That would've been nice.
[20:17] Arthur
    It would've been nice...
    to become an older brother.
[22:18] Arthur
    Where am I?
[22:43] Sylvia
    Good morning, Arthur.
