SIGN    Saved by the King.
[01:35] Grey
    No doubt about it. There are people nearby.
[01:56] Grey
    There they are.
[01:59] Tess
    Help! Anyone!
[02:00] Danton
    Shut her up.
[02:06] Pinky
    Hey, boss.
[02:08] Pinky
    Elf girls sell for a lot, don't they?
[02:11] Danton
    Yeah, she'll earn us quite a bit.
[02:14] Danton
    Let's get moving.
[02:15] Danton
    Then we can finally say
    goodbye to these eerie woods.
[02:20] Grey
    They intend to sell her as a slave.
[02:27] (Flashback) Bandit Leader
    Leave the women and kid alive.
[02:30] (Flashback) Bandit Leader
    Don't hurt 'em. They'll be worth less.
[02:36] Deuce
    Hey, quit squirming.
[02:43] Sylvia
    You failed.
[02:46] Sylvia
    I'll not teach someone
    with that look on their face.
[02:51] Grey
    I understand, Sylvia.
[02:55] Grey
    I won't let my negative emotions rule me.
[03:20] Grey
    Why don't you show me the way
    to the nearest human settlement?
[03:26] Deuce
    Seems like a waste to sell her off
    without having some fun first.
[03:29] Grey
    Then again, there's no guarantee she
    goes that long without being hurt.
[03:38] Grey
    For now, I'll prepare and
    wait. It won't be long.
[03:53] Grey
    I wonder why those forest hounds
    are so obedient to the humans.
[04:01] Grey
    Magic, eh?
[04:04] Grey
    Sorry, but I can take advantage of that.
[04:12] Deuce
    Hey!
[04:13] Deuce
    Shut them up already. It's gonna attract
    every beast in the woods.
[04:18] Pinky
    Stupid mutts!
[04:19] Pinky
    Damned nuisance. We'll be
    selling you off, too, soon...
[04:27] Pinky
    A kid?
[04:32] Grey
    One down.
[04:34] Arthur
    I'm going to take this.
[04:39] Deuce
    He's taking too long to get back.
[04:41] Deuce
    Hey, are you taking a piss out there? What's up?
[04:50] Grey
    That's two. Combat in this body is exhausting.
[04:54] George
    Hey, what are you doing?
[04:56] George
    Where did you go? Get back here already.
[05:01] Grey
    A third down.
[05:02] Danton
    What happened?!
[05:03] George
    B-Be careful! The brat's a mage!
[05:07] Danton
    A kid mage?
[05:09] Danton
    Well, ain't that rare?
[05:12] Danton
    In that case, I had better make sure not to
    kill the golden egg that just fell into my lap.
[05:19] Danton
    Don't you think?
[05:25] Grey
    What is he doing?
[05:27] Danton
    You're coming with me. And you might
    even fetch us more cash than the girl!
[05:32] Danton
    So try not to die, kiddo!
[05:44] Danton
    That wasn't bad at all.
[05:46] Grey
    Maybe this...
[05:50] Grey
    Damn it!
[05:52] Danton
    You've got some slick tricks up your sleeve.
[05:55] Danton
    Go on! It's your weapon, come and take it!
[06:02] Danton
    Good reaction time, too.
[06:05] Danton
    Let me see your face, golden ticket.
[06:08] Danton
    Give up. You don't stand a chance.
[06:12] Grey
    We'll see...
[06:16] Danton
    That's hot!
[06:17] Grey
    Good. I was able to condense fire.
[06:19] Danton
    Damn it all. I'm done trying to
    take you alive, you little shit.
[06:23] Danton
    I'll just sell your carcass to
    some of those demented collectors.
[06:27] Danton
    Just you wait!
[06:37] George
    N-Now hang on...
[06:40] George
    Please, I'm begging you.
[06:44] Arthur
    I'm pretty sure that girl
    asked you the same thing.
[07:03] Grey
    What was that, just now?
[07:06] Tess
    What's wrong?
[07:08] Arthur
    Come along now, it's safe.
[07:12] Arthur
    You can go home.
[07:17] Tess
    What is that? Are you hurt?
[07:19] Arthur
    No, it's...
[07:21] Grey
    I see. A normal child is surprised
    by this sort of thing.
[07:25] Grey
    Come to think of it, this is the first time
    I've been around a child my own age.
[07:36] Arthur
    Sorry, hang on a sec.
[07:42] Tess
    Is that...
[07:43] Arthur
    There are some things that kids shouldn't see.
[07:46] Tess
    You're a kid, too.
[07:48] Arthur
    That's true, I guess.
[07:51] Tess
    Hey.
[07:52] Arthur
    What?
[07:54] Tess
    What happened to those bad
    people who kidnapped me?
[07:58] Arthur
    They, uh, had an unfortunate accident.
[08:03] Tess
    An accident?
[08:04] Arthur
    Don't worry. You're safe now.
[08:07] Tess
    I see.
[08:11] Arthur
    Is this yours?
[08:12] Tess
    Yes, thank you.
[08:14] Arthur
    Well, it was nice meeting you.
[08:23] Tess
    I'm scared! Don't leave me behind!
[08:31] Arthur
    I need to get back to my family,
[08:34] Arthur
    and the scum— er, bad guys
    won't be coming after you again.
[08:38] Tess
    You would abandon a delicate little
    girl in these woods, you brute?!
[08:43] Arthur
    Shouldn't an elf be safe in the woods?
[08:48] Tess
    My parents told me that the tree
    golems will eat a child in no time.
[08:54] Arthur
    Do you know which direction you came from?
[08:56] Tess
    That way.
[08:57] Grey
    The opposite direction...
[08:59] Arthur
    Then, do you know how far they
     brought you from when they caught you?
[09:02] Tess
    No. I was chasing some bugs and then I got lost.
[09:07] Grey
    This is unreasonable.
[09:09] Grey
    But I suppose that's what
    children are typically like.
[09:22] Grey
    I guess I can't just leave her.
[09:28] Arthur
    Okay, then.
[09:34] Grey
    I don't know how to control them.
[09:37] Grey
    Better to spare them a painful death.
[09:40] Tess
    Hey, we should set them free, too.
[09:43] Arthur
    Uh, but...
[09:45] Tess
    If we just leave them, they'll die!
[09:48] Arthur
    But they might attack us.
[09:51] Tess
    It's okay. They were just being
    used by those bad people.
[09:55] Tess
    Besides, the people of the
    forest cherish all life!
[10:15] Arthur
    Okay, let's get you home next.
[10:35] Arthur
    Oh, I never asked your name.
[10:38] Tess
    Tessia. Tessia Eralith.
[10:41] Tess
    What about you?
[10:43] Arthur
    Arthur Leywin.
[10:48] Arthur
    You're probably hungry. But even if you're not,
    you should still eat something.
[10:53] Arthur
    We might have a long walk ahead of us.
[11:02] Sylvia
    You must be hungry.
[11:04] Sylvia
    But even if you're not,
    you should eat something.
[11:09] Sylvia
    If you want to be able to move
    again sooner, rather than later.
[11:13] Grey
    I'm starting to sound like her.
[11:16] Tess
    This smells funny.
[11:18] Arthur
    It's just some jerky
     boiled with some salt.
[11:21] Arthur
    It'd probably taste better if I had some herbs.
[11:28] Grey
    I've always considered food little more
    than a means of getting nutrition.
[11:38] Tess
    I want something sweet.
[11:41] Grey
    In terms of childlike behavior, Tessia
    should prove a good model to learn from.
[11:46] Tess
    Hey, why are you in the
    Forest of Elshire, Arthur?
[11:51] Arthur
    I got separated from my family, I guess?
[11:54] Tess
    Really?! You're lost, too, then.
[11:57] Arthur
    What are things like in the land of the elves?
[12:01] Tess
    In Elenoir? It's fun!
[12:04] Tess
    My parents are really busy, so I spend a
    lot of time with my grandpa and caretakers.
[12:18] Grey
    The trip continued for
    longer than I anticipated,
[12:20] Grey
    with no sign of the location of Elenoir.
[12:25] Arthur
    What are those bugs?
[12:27] Tess
    Aren't they neat? We have
    a lot of them in Elenoir.
[12:31] Tess
    We use them to mark paths all the time.
[12:36] Tess
    Do you want one?
[12:38] Arthur
    Nope.
[12:41] Tess
    It's like an earring!
[12:45] Grey
    So this is how children play, huh?
[12:49] Tess
    Once my mana awakens, I'm going
    to train at my master's place.
[12:54] Tess
    I'm really looking forward to it!
[12:57] Arthur
    So you get assigned a master, huh?
    There's no organized education?
[13:01] Tess
    Organized education?
[13:04] Arthur
    Nevermind. Just talking to myself.
[13:19] Grey
    It's one of the forest hounds from before.
    I should have killed it after all.
[13:24] Arthur
    Go into the tent for a moment.
[13:27] Tess
    But you're still...
[13:28] Arthur
    I'm going to keep watch from out here.
[13:30] Tess
    I see.
[13:34] Grey
    A lot happened today.
[13:37] Grey
    What was it that Sylvia wanted me to have?
[13:42] Tess
    Are you sure you don't need to sleep?
[13:47] Arthur
    You're still awake.
[13:49] Tess
    Well, the truth is Grandpa said I'm
    not supposed to sleep with any men,
[13:55] Tess
    but I'll keep it a secret!
[13:57] Arthur
    It's fine. I'm not tired at all.
[14:00] Tess
    Okay...
[14:01] Arthur
    Now, sleep well.
[14:05] Tess
    H-Hey! I realized something!
[14:07] Arthur
    Just go to bed already.
[14:09] Tess
    If you're out here, won't beasts be more likely
     to notice you and see that you're a kid?
[14:15] Arthur
    You're scared of ghosts, aren't you?
[14:17] Tess
    I'm just considering our safety!
[14:19] Tess
    Which is why I think you should
    keep watch from inside the tent!
[14:26] Arthur
    Our safety, huh?
[14:28] Tess
    I-It really isn't because I'm scared.
[14:31] Tess
    But stay where you are.
    Don't go outside without telling me.
[14:34] Tess
    And if I need to go potty,
    make sure to come with me.
[14:36] Arthur
    Right, right. I get it.
[14:38] Arthur
    Now go to sleep.
[14:40] Tess
    Hey, you're from the human
    kingdom, right Arthur?
[14:44] Tess
    I heard that human men are all
    perverts, and have many wives.
[14:50] Arthur
    Who told you that?!
[14:52] Tess
    My grandpa.
[14:53] Arthur
    Well, I'm pretty sure there are elf perverts, too.
    And do you even know what a pervert is?
[15:00] Tess
    Not really.
[15:01] Arthur
    The only people with multiple
    wives are certain aristocrats.
[15:06] Tess
    I see. Okay, then.
[15:08] Arthur
    Really?
[15:14] Grey
    She's asleep. Rather anticlimactic.
[15:18] Arthur
    Is this what having a
     little sister is like?
[15:47] Grey
    Tessia has grown so
    comfortable around me.
[15:50] Grey
    It seems as if she has forgotten
    all about the slavers.
[16:04] Grey
    To be honest, I've been feeling annoyed,
    since I'm worried about my family,
[16:07] Grey
    and want to reunite with them soon.
[16:17] Grey
    And there was something unexpected...
[16:21] Tess
    Arthur?!
[16:23] Grey
    An unbearable pain that I could
    feel emanating from my mana core.
[16:28] Tess
    Hey, are you okay?!
[16:30] Arthur
    Yeah, it's... fine...
[16:33] Tess
    I'm going to look for herbs that might help!
[16:38] Arthur
    Wait... It's dangerous!
[16:42] Grey
    The pain didn't get any better, and the
    duration between attacks got shorter.
[16:47] Grey
    Should I tell Tessia about it?
    No, it'd just worry her.
[16:56] Grey
    Of all the timing!
[17:03] Tess
    Arthur! This is supposed to
    help when your tummy hurts.
[17:07] Arthur
    Tessia, get back!
[17:20] Arthur
    What?
[17:22] Tess
    I think he's repaying us!
[17:23] Arthur
    For what?
[17:24] Tess
    For being good!
[17:35] Tess
    It's so tender!
[17:42] Grey
    This is good.
[17:44] Grey
    I suppose growing children really do need meat.
[17:48] Tess
    Oh, there weren't any medicinal herbs,
    but I found some mushrooms.
[17:52] Tess
    They're very nutritious. The women
    in Elenoir eat them all the time!
[18:03] Tess
    Sorry. I guess they might be
     too strong for men.
[18:09] Grey
    I was careless.
[18:20] Grey
    My eyelids feel heavy.
[18:22] Tess
    And there was always a story
    book to go with bedtime.
[18:26] Tess
    They'd be stories of the human
    kingdom and the dwarf nation.
[18:30] Tess
    It made me want to visit some day,
    but there are bad people in both, apparently.
[18:37] Tess
    That's why the people in Elenoir
    don't trust people from other countries.
[18:41] Tess
    Humans in particular.
[18:44] Tess
    Hey, are you listening, Arthur?
[18:51] Tess
    Looks like I'm the more grown up one, after all.
[19:11] Tess
    I'm sorry, Arthur.
[19:12] Arthur
    It's okay. We're nearly there, right?
[19:15] Grey
    Children are so weak.
[19:19] Tess
    Hey, I've been wondering this whole time...
[19:23] Tess
    We've gotten pretty close, right?
    So is it okay if I call you "Art," like we're friends?
[19:30] Arthur
    That's fine.
[19:32] Tess
    That's all you have to say?
[19:34] Arthur
    A low-born country bumpkin like myself
[19:36] Arthur
    is unworthy of such a great honor,
    Your Highness Tessia.
[19:41] Tess
    What was that?! It's like the kind
    of joke an old man would make.
[19:44] Arthur
    That's rich coming from the crybaby who
    won't go to the bathroom without me.
[19:49] Tess
    Silence! Just when I was thinking
    of treating you like a friend...
[19:54] Arthur
    Sure sounds like she's feeling fine.
[19:57] Grey
    A friend, eh?
[20:05] Tess
    I think I saw something!
[20:07] Arthur
    Yeah, I think I did, too.
[20:09] Arthur
    Moss, leaves, and a whole
    lot of trees, specifically.
[20:22] Arthur
    Tessia, is this...
[20:24] Tess
    It is! We're here!
[20:30] Arthur
    What the—
[20:33] Tess
    Come with me, Art!
[22:26] Chief Guard
    The use of a teleportation
    gate alerted me right away.
[22:35] Grey
    Who is he talking to?
[22:40] Arthur
    T-Tessia!
