[00:17] Talion
    We left the port city of Ordis
[00:19] Talion
    and hit up Raquel,
    the city of entertainment.
SIGN    Entertainment City Raquel,
    Lamare Province, Empire of Erebonia
[00:24] Talion
    A city of glamour and lights...
    A city that never slept.
SIGN    Imperial Capital Heimdallr
[00:33] Talion
    Then came Imperial Capital Heimdallr,
[00:36] Talion
    its paved roads filled with
    vehicular traffic.
SIGN    Industrial Metropolis Roer, Nortia Province
[00:48] Talion
    Next, the industrial metropolis of Roer.
[00:53] Talion
    There were moving stairs
    installed all over the city,
[00:56] Talion
    and mysterious elevators
    that carried several people at once.
[01:03] Talion
    Everywhere we went, we were reminded
    of how rich and powerful the Empire is.
[01:07] Marty
    But the people are all making a fuss.
[01:10] Marty
    This "hero" of theirs is the talk
    of the town, in every town.
[01:14] Talion
    Indeed. And yet, strangely,
    nobody knew his name or background.
[01:18] Talion
    We still have absolutely no
    idea what he's really like.
[01:24] Talion
    They say he's been made public,
[01:27] Talion
    but everyone only knows him
    as the Ashen Chevalier.
[01:33] Lavian
    The hero exists only in name. He's not real.
[01:37] Marty
    I wouldn't be so sure.
[01:39] Marty
    We know far too little to jump
    to conclusions like that.
[01:44] Marty
    For starters, can anyone tell me why
    we're all the way up here in the mountains?
[01:48] Talion
    Our destination, Ymir, is rumored
    to be the hero's hometown.
[01:53] Marty
    And yet I bet nobody there knows anything,
    just like everywhere else we went.
[01:57] Talion
    That's what I said, but...
[02:01] Iseria
    Ymir is an indispensable part
    of our Empire scouting mission.
[02:05] Iseria
    Because in this mountain village
[02:08] Iseria
    is a must–visit spot for all maidens...
[02:10] Iseria
    Hot springs!
SIGN    Trails of Cold Steel
SIGN    Trails of Cold Steel
SIGN    The Legend of Heroes: - Northern War
SIGN    Breaking the Blue Crystal Ice
SIGN    Hot Springs Paradise Ymir, Nortia Province
[03:57] Talion
    The hot springs paradise of Ymir is located
    in the mountains of the Eisengard Range.
SIGN    Hot Springs Paradise Ymir, Nortia Province
[04:03] Talion
    Legend says that its natural hot
    springs can cure any kind of illness,
[04:06] Talion
    and people from all over visit in droves
    for their health benefits.
[04:11] Iseria
    It's great for your skin, too!
[04:19] Lavian
    There's nobody here.
[04:20] Marty
    I guess it must be off-season now.
[04:26] Lavian
    It also snows here?
[04:28] Talion
    Apparently, the climate
    is cool all year round,
[04:31] Talion
    and in the winter, you can enjoy
    the snowy landscape and winter sports.
[04:36] Lavian
    Huh...
[04:45] Iseria
    Lavi! Look over there!
[04:53] Lavian
    "The Phoenix Wings"?
[04:55] Iseria
    This is where we're staying tonight.
[04:56] Lavian
    Oh?
[04:59] Talion
    What are you talking about?!
    It costs ten times more than the other inns!
[05:03] Iseria
    I'll settle for one night.
[05:05] Talion
    Huh? And where do you
    suggest we get that mira?
[05:07] Iseria
    Tally, Marty, you two can camp outside!
[05:12] Iseria
    Eek!
[05:28] Marty
    The hot spring is... cold?
[05:31] Lavian
    The staff said so.
[05:33] Iseria
    Tell me that before I dive in...
[05:37] Iseria
    You're not supposed to fill your hot springs
    with ice-cold water!
[05:42] Talion
    You're not supposed to jump in without
    cleaning up first, either...
[05:45] Lavion
    Yup, yup.
[05:47] Marty
    We saw some folks in a rush earlier.
    So this was why.
[05:57] Iseria
    Oh, I wanted to have some of those, too!
[06:00] Lavian
    Ymir manjuu...
[06:03] Lavian
    They say it's so good, you just
    have to try one before you die!
[06:07] Lavian
    How much, ma'am?
[06:10] Talion
    Looks like it's sold out.
[06:12] Iseria
    What? But why?!
[06:14] Lio
    Well...
[06:23] Lio
    As you can see, it's too cold in here
    to be steaming manjuu, too.
[06:29] Lio
    The steam from the wellspring's hot water
    is channeled through this kitchen.
[06:34] Lio
    Normally, the steam and the hot
    spring minerals accentuate the manjuu,
[06:39] Lio
    giving them an exquisite taste and flavor.
[06:42] Iseria
    No! This sucks!
    I wanna take a hot springs bath!
[06:45] Iseria
    And I wanna eat manjuu, too!
[06:48] Camilla
    Sorry about this.
[06:49] Camilla
    This has never happened before.
    We don't know what to do, either.
[06:53] Lavian
    Why did everything suddenly turn cold?
[06:56] Lio
    We believe something happened
    to the wellspring up in the mountains.
[07:00] Lio
    But that area has monsters,
    so we can't go and see for ourselves.
[07:04] Marty
    So if we can fix up the hot springs,
    there might be something in it for us?
[07:09] Lio;Camilla
    Huh?
[07:10] Marty
    A Phoenix Wings full-course suite package
    with beauty care, dinner...
[07:16] Marty
    Throw in a full set
    of local specialty souvenirs...
[07:19] Iseria
    For real?
[07:20] Marty
    And it'd still be a great deal
    for you, right, sir?
[07:23] Lio
    Yes, of course!
[07:25] Lio
    If you can fix the hot springs, it'll help
    not only us, but the entire village.
[07:29] Camilla
    We'll talk to Baggins,
    the manager of this inn.
[07:33] Iseria
    You're on! Ria will solve all
    of your hot spring troubles for you!
[07:37] Iseria
    Lavi and I will find the cause
    and bring your hot springs back to life!
[07:45] Iseria
    Hmm... now...
[07:49] Iseria
    This, this, and...
[07:52] Iseria
    This right here. Okay, all set there.
[07:54] Iseria
    As for these...
[07:57] Iseria
    They'll be heavy,
    but better safe than sorry.
[08:01] Iseria
    Okay, good to go!
[08:03] Iseria
    Lavi, you carry the supplies,
    and I'll deal with the monsters!
[08:07] Iseria
    Okay?
[08:10] Talion
    You never change, Iseria.
[08:15] Marty
    Well, stay safe out there.
[08:16] Iseria
    Aye aye, sir!
[08:18] Iseria
    Commencing mission!
[08:24] Marty
    Now then, I suppose we can
    take a look around the area.
[08:27] Marty
    Maybe go on a leisurely
    stroll down the ski slopes?
[08:36] Marty
    Huh? Hey.
[08:38] Marty
    Hm?
[08:39] Talion
    I saw it written in the guidebook
[08:41] Talion
    that if you dig near the river banks
    around here, you may hit a hot spring.
[08:45] Marty
    You... You don't mean...
[08:49] Talion
    Let's find a hot spring together!
[08:55] Iseria
    Hot springs, hot springs, splash, splash!
[08:58] Iseria
    Where's your spirit, young'un?
[09:01] Iseria
    Join me, Lavi!
[09:03] Iseria
    Hot springs, hot springs...
[09:05] Iseria
    This way!
[09:07] Lavian
    The map doesn't show a path there.
[09:09] Iseria
    It's a shortcut that only locals know about.
[09:12] Iseria
    They said the footing was bad,
    but it's worse than I expected.
[09:18] Iseria
    Porter, I'm sure you're in for
    a rough time, but hang in there!
[09:25] Iseria
    Leave the monsters to me!
[09:47] Iseria
    We're almost there! Just gotta turn here...
[10:02] Iseria
    Seriously?
[10:05] Lavian
    It's frozen all the way through.
[10:08] Iseria
    This is kinda crazy.
[10:13] Iseria
    What's up?
[10:20] Lavian
    See that?
[10:21] Iseria
    Yeah. It's gotta be septium.
[10:23] Lavian
    Why would there be septium here?
[10:25] Iseria
    Does it matter?
[10:27] Iseria
    If this bad boy's the cause,
    we'll just have to get rid of it!
[10:32] Iseria
    Okay, time to dig...
[10:35] Iseria
    Lavi!
[10:47] Marty
    Man, we're such a bunch of softies, huh?
[10:50] Talion
    Huh?
[10:51] Marty
    We're out here investigating wellsprings
    and trying to dig up hot springs...
[10:54] Marty
    All to help out some Erebonians.
[10:57] Marty
    Which country do we serve, again?
[10:59] Talion
    Well...
[11:00] Marty
    It's fine.
[11:02] Marty
    It's not like I'm an unwilling participant.
[11:05] Talion
    But then... Why, Marty?
[11:07] Marty
    We've been on some kind of wild
    goose chase ever since the party.
[11:11] Marty
    I just thought our luck might turn around
    if we dug up a hot spring.
[11:15] Talion
    Our luck...
[11:31] Iseria
    It's a tough one, huh?
[11:33] Iseria
    Stand back.
[11:38] Iseria
    Hi-yah!
[11:41] Iseria
    H–Huh? Uh...
[11:43] Iseria
    Wait, i-it's stuck!
[11:45] Iseria
    Wh–What do I do? Wait, hold up!
[11:49] Iseria
    What's that?
[11:50] Lavian
    Marty gave it to me.
[11:52] Lavian
    Disinfectant for if we got wounded.
[11:58] Iseria
    Whoo, look at it melt.
[12:02] Iseria
    Now we just wait for the flame to go out,
    shoot the crystal to break it, and then...
[12:05] Iseria
    Hot springs, hot springs, splash, splash!
[12:13] Iseria
    Huh? What's going on?!
[12:17] Lavian
    Iseria!
[12:20] Iseria
    There are explosives in the bag!
[12:22] Iseria
    Go get them, Lavi!
[12:23] Lavian
    Gotcha.
[12:26] Lavian
    Explosives? I don't see them.
[12:29] Lavian
    Wait, did Iseria just...
[12:56] Iseria
    Is this it for me?
[12:59] Iseria
    If I'd known this would happen,
[13:01] Iseria
    I would've lived more freely
    and true to myself, like a real maiden.
[13:08] Iseria
    Instead of becoming a jaeger,
[13:10] Iseria
    I would've liked to get into fashion
    and fall in love like every other girl.
[13:16] Iseria
    Ah... How long has it been
    since I got trapped in here?
[13:20] Lavian
    Three minutes and twenty-three seconds.
[13:21] Iseria
    Urk.
[13:22] Iseria
    Come on! I was just setting up
    a real tear-jerker of a line!
[13:26] Lavian
    Not the time for acting.
[13:28] Lavian
    This isn't ice. It's a monster
    camouflaged as septium.
[13:34] Iseria
    Specifically, a mineral–based monster that
    fuses with septium to camouflage itself.
[13:41] Iseria
    What's one of these even doing here?
[13:44] Iseria
    Did you get in touch with Marty and Tally?
[13:47] Lavian
    Nope.
[13:49] Iseria
    So the monster's pulse is jamming
    the orbal radio waves, huh?
[13:54] Lavian
    We're even getting static on this call.
[13:57] Iseria
    And it doesn't look like we have time
    to send you to go get help.
[14:00] Iseria
    I guess you're my only hope, then.
[14:03] Iseria
    I believe in you, okay?
[14:06] Iseria
    What's with the silence?
[14:08] Lavian
    You didn't even help me
    once on our way here.
[14:12] Iseria
    Wait, are you mad?
[14:15] Iseria
    You've got it all wrong.
[14:16] Iseria
    I just figured you'd have no trouble
    getting past those rocks.
[14:21] Lavian
    You were laughing.
[14:22] Iseria
    You're real salty for someone
    who looks so sweet.
[14:26] Lavian
    And the explosives, too.
[14:27] Iseria
    Huh? What was that?
[14:28] Lavian
    I'm leaving.
[14:29] Iseria
    Wait, I'm sorry!
    I apologize, so don't abandon me!
[14:33] Iseria
    Maybe I really should
    have brought some bombs.
[14:39] Iseria
    Anyway, what now?
[14:42] Lavian
    Let me try.
[14:43] Iseria
    "Let me try"? Try what?
[14:58] Lavian
    Oh, they pierced it.
[15:00] Iseria
    Don't just open fire out of the blue!
    I can't believe you!
[15:03] Lavian
    What happened to believing in me?
[15:04] Iseria
    What if they'd shot
    right through and hit me?!
[15:07] Lavian
    But it was fine.
[15:10] Iseria
    Girl, you're crazy.
[15:12] Iseria
    Though I guess there was no way
    to know without giving it a shot.
[15:22] Iseria
    Did you see that?
[15:23] Lavian
    Yeah. What was it?
[15:25] Iseria
    This monster protects itself with thorns
    when attacked, like some kind of hedgehog.
[15:31] Iseria
    And its source of energy,
    the septium, is right above me.
[15:37] Lavian
    If we break it...
[15:39] Iseria
    Yeah. That's how we get out of this mess.
[15:42] Lavian
    But my gun can barely scratch
    the surface of the crystal.
[15:46] Lavian
    It lacks firepower.
[15:48] Iseria
    We can fix that.
[15:55] Iseria
    There should be a sniper
    attachment in there.
[15:58] Iseria
    I mean it this time. I really did bring it.
[16:02] Lavian
    This thing?
[16:03] Iseria
    Attach it to your handgun,
    and you'll be able to use it as a rifle.
[16:07] Iseria
    The case next to it should have
    some special rounds inside.
[16:10] Iseria
    Grab the fourth one.
[16:12] Lavi
    It's heavy.
[16:13] Iseria
    It's a custom–made hammerhead bullet,
[16:16] Iseria
    made out of an extra-hard steel alloy.
[16:18] Iseria
    It should do the trick.
[16:21] Iseria
    The problem is, recoil makes
    that bullet unstable right after firing.
[16:26] Iseria
    So you can't expect it do anything
    at point-blank range.
[16:30] Iseria
    What you need is...
[16:31] Lavi
    Distance? Momentum?
[16:33] Iseria
    Right.
[16:35] Iseria
    Make use of the gravity-assisted momentum
    as it falls to stabilize its trajectory.
[16:40] Iseria
    So, Lavi...
[16:44] Iseria
    Climb up that cliff.
[16:52] Iseria
    Mineral crystals are hard,
[16:54] Iseria
    but a heavy impact at the right point
[16:57] Iseria
    can slice through them like an axe
    through firewood, or so I've heard.
[17:02] Iseria
    That same logic will
    probably work on this monster.
[17:05] Lavian
    Even you listen to people sometimes, huh?
[17:09] Iseria
    I'll smack you!
[17:26] Iseria
    Can you see it?
[17:28] Iseria
    Can you figure out how to aim?
[17:31] Lavian
    Like this, right?
[17:33] Iseria
    Bingo.
[17:34] Iseria
    When you fire,
[17:37] Iseria
    I'll shoot the septium, as well.
[17:39] Lavian
    Huh?
[17:40] Iseria
    By hitting it from above and below,
[17:43] Iseria
    we'll make sure the impact stays focused.
[17:46] Lavian
    Got it.
[17:49] Iseria
    Lavi.
[17:51] Lavian
    What?
[17:52] Iseria
    When we get back,
    let's eat some Ymir manjuu.
[17:54] Lavian
    Why bring up Ymir manjuu now?
[17:57] Iseria
    The Empire has yummy food, stylish clothes,
[18:01] Iseria
    parties, hot springs, and everything.
[18:05] Iseria
    They're just a part of life for people here.
[18:10] Iseria
    But not us, because we
    were born in North Ambria.
[18:14] Lavian
    Iseria...
[18:16] Iseria
    What did we even become
    Northern Jaegers for, you know?
[18:22] Iseria
    We eat dirt and bullets
    to make a killing, literally.
[18:27] Iseria
    How long will a country that needs
    people like us to survive even last?
[18:35] Iseria
    Just kidding!
[18:37] Iseria
    What I'm trying to say is...
[18:39] Lavian
    You just have to try Ymir
    manjuu before you die?
[18:43] Iseria
    Exactly. I believe in you.
[18:47] Lavian
    I won't miss.
[18:59] Iseria
    Here we go.
[19:03] Iseria
    Drei.
[19:05] Iseria
    Zwei.
[19:06] Iseria
    Eins.
[19:08] Iseria
    Fire.
[19:33] Iseria
    Huh? It was you?
[19:35] Iseria
    The bad boy?
[19:40] Iseria
    H-Hot!
[19:42] Iseria
    Hot, hot! Ow!
[19:44] Iseria
    Wait, what? You're okay with this heat?
[19:46] Iseria
    Hot... hot... it's frickin' hot!
[19:53] Femaleemployee
    It's hot water, manager!
    The hot spring's back!
[20:01] Marty
    Oh, looks like they did the job.
[20:05] Marty
    Let's wrap things up and head back.
[20:06] Talion
    Not yet!
[20:09] Talion
    I want to turn our luck around!
[20:13] Marty
    Brings a tear to my eye...
[20:15] Talion
    Take that!
[20:16] Marty
    Oh? Is it happening?
[20:20] Marty
    Yuck!
[20:21] Marty
    What the hell?
    It's just muddy water, Talion!
[20:24] Talion
    I have much to learn.
[20:28] Iseria
    Man, this is awesome!
[20:32] Iseria
    This is it! This is what a hot
    spring's supposed to be like!
[20:36] Iseria
    Feels amazing, right?
[20:38] Lavian
    Yeah.
[20:39] Iseria
    It should be ready soon.
[20:42] Iseria
    Wow, it smells so good! Let's eat!
[20:45] Lavian
    Thanks...
[20:50] Iseria
    Thoughts?
[20:52] Lavian
    You just have to try one before you die.
[20:54] Iseria
    Right? One more!
[20:58] Lavian
    Can you teach me more?
[21:00] Lavian
    About guns, clothes, food...
[21:04] Lavian
    All kinds of stuff.
[21:06] Iseria
    You got it!
[21:09] Iseria
    Once we get out of the bath,
    we start with dinner, then beauty care,
[21:14] Iseria
    and in the next town,
    we'll look for a hair salon,
[21:16] Iseria
    and then...
[21:16] Talion
    They seem closer than before.
[21:19] Marty
    I guess our luck's changed.
[21:21] Iseria
    Hot springs, hot springs, splash, splash!
[21:25] Lavian
    Hot springs, hot springs, splash, splash.
[21:30] Jayna
    Very well. I'll have Martin's squad
    head to Legram in the south next.
[21:37] Jayna
    Understood, Master Glark.
[21:41] Jayna
    Goodbye.
[21:45] Jayna
    Now...
[21:57] Jayna
    This isn't enough.
[21:59] Jayna
    Entrance me more!
