**[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!
