    Touka Scott
    Unremarkable Villager
[02:02] Touka
    What a gorgeous radish!
[02:04] Touka
    You really do have the perfect figure!
[02:07] Touka
    I hereby dub you Katherine.
[02:09] Touka
    Now, let's dress you up real nice!
[02:15] Yuna
    Touka! What are you doing?
[02:20] sign
    Yuna Yunis
    His Childhood Friend
[02:20] Touka
    Y-Yuna?!
[02:22] Touka
    I-I'm just harvesting radishes!
[02:24] Yuna
    So why are you putting a stocking on it?
[02:27] Touka
    Upon finding a radish shaped
    like the perfect thigh, any man would
[02:31] Touka
    feel compelled to put a stocking on it!
[02:33] Yuna
    You're the only pervert who'd do that!
[02:36] Yuna
    Honestly!
[02:38] Yuna
    When you're not lazing around,
    you're doing gross stuff like that.
[02:41] Yuna
    Why'd I have to be childhood friends
     with someone like you?
[02:43] Touka
    What?
[02:44] Yuna
    The legendary hero is our age,
[02:46] Yuna
    and he managed to save the whole world!
[02:49] Touka
    Yeah, yeah.
[02:50] Touka
    Legendary hero this, legendary hero that.
    He's all you people talk about.
[02:53] Touka
    The Sacred Sword could've
    chosen anyone, you know?
[02:56] Touka
    Besides, his seal didn't hold up for long,
[02:58] Touka
    and now the devils are back on the loose.
[03:01] Yuna
    That's why he's traveling
    far and wide to slay them all!
[03:04] Touka
    Cleaning up after yourself ain't very heroic.
[03:07] Touka
    But I don't care what happens far and wide
[03:09] Touka
    so long as my own house
    and field are safe.
[03:14] Touka
    And you too, of course, Yuna.
[03:17] Yuna
    What's that supposed to mean?
[03:19] Touka
    She might be a mean old nag,
    but she's got perfect proportions.
[03:24] Touka
    Especially those thighs!
[03:26] Touka
    Those freaking luscious thighs!
[03:30] Yuna
    The hell are you doing?!
[03:31] Touka
    S-Sorry, force of habit...
[03:32] Yuna
    Honestly!
[03:34] Yuna
    The whole world's in peril,
    but that's still all you think about!
[03:37] Yuna
    Devils could even attack here, you know?
[03:40] Touka
    Thankfully, I'm prepared for that!
[03:44] Touka
    Behold my brilliant trap!
[03:45] Touka
    It'll skewer any devils that enter my field!
[03:48] Yuna
    That's so stupid.
[03:50] Touka
    H-Hey...
[03:51] Touka
    Why's she always gotta take me down a peg?
[03:58] Devil
    I love humans.
[04:00] Devil
    I eat humans.
[04:02] Villager E
    Ah! A devil!
[04:03] Villager D
    It's a devil attack!
[04:07] Yuna
    No... S-Stay back...
[04:10] Devil
    Human. Woman. Looks tasty.
[04:13] Touka
    Yuna!
[04:14] Touka
    What do I do?
[04:16] Touka
    I need Yuna for my future plans.
[04:18] Touka
    I've gotta rescue her somehow.
[04:24] Touka
    Oh, Mr. Devil!
[04:25] Touka
    I've got some tasty meat grilling here!
[04:28] Touka
    Even a devil has to prefer
    a well-browned cut of juicy pork!
[04:32] Touka
    That's it! C'mon over here!
[04:34] Touka
    And fall right into my brilliant trap!
[04:37] Devil
    Gross. I hate pork.
[04:40] Touka
    So pork isn't gonna do the job...
[04:43] Touka
    Crap!
[04:44] Touka
    That expression screams,
    "Why are you grilling when I'm in danger?!"
[04:48] Touka
    Damn it all. I'll have to step in!
[04:50] Sion
    Get away from her!
[04:55] Sion
    Are you all right?
[04:56] sign
    Sion Breydan
    Legendary Hero
[04:57] Yuna
    Th-The legendary hero!
[04:59] Villager
    It's the legendary hero!
[05:01] Villager F
    The legendary hero's here to save us!
[05:03] Yuna
    Mr. Legendary Hero! Thank you so much!
[05:06] Sion
    I'm just glad to see you safe, Miss Yuna.
[05:08] Yuna
    Y-You remember me?!
[05:10] Sion
    Of course I do!
[05:12] Sion
    It's been three whole years.
[05:14] Sion
    Have you been well?
[05:15] Touka
    I forgot this jerk saved
    Yuna three years ago too...
[05:19] Yuna
    I'm so delighted!
[05:20] Yuna
    I was sure you'd forgotten me!
[05:23] Sion
    The delight's all mine,
    since I get to see you happy again.
[05:27] Sion
    I just love your smile, you know.
[05:30] Yuna
    Oh, Mr. Legendary Hero...
[05:32] Touka
    "I just love your smile," he says?!
[05:35] Touka
    This piece-of-shit hero is one smooth talker!
[05:38] Touka
    And Yuna's lapping it up!
[05:39] Touka
    Hey, Yuna! I also tried to save—
[05:41] Yuna
    Stay out of this, scumbag.
[05:44] Yuna
    Go back to your one-man barbecue.
[05:46] Touka
    What's with the total one-eighty?!
[05:48] Touka
    I like you better smiling too, you know!
[05:50] Touka
    After three years, Yuna was
    finally warming up to me!
[05:54] Touka
    This is all that hero's fault!
[05:57] Villager C
    What's that sound? Another devil?!
[05:59] Sion
    I'm sorry.
[06:00] Sion
    I'm afraid that's my stomach rumbling.
[06:04] Yuna
    W-Would you like to come by my house, then?
[06:07] Yuna
    I made a bit too much for lunch...
[06:09] Sion
    Really?
[06:10] Touka
    He gets to eat Yuna's home cooking?!
[06:13] Touka
    Not even I've had that!
[06:15] Touka
    Now they're just rubbing it in...
[06:18] Sion
    Is that barbecue I smell?
[06:21] Sion
    I just love meat! I—
[06:29] Touka
    You gotta be kiddin' me...
[06:30] Yuna
    No!
[06:33] Touka
    Th-There's no way the guy
    who saved the world just...
[06:37] Touka
    Yeah, he's dead.
[06:38] Villager B
    How can this be?!
[06:40] Villager B
    Without the legendary hero,
    we can't seal the Gates of Hell!
[06:43] Villager A
    What a nightmare! It's the end of humanity!
[06:46] Village Chief
    We should put Touka on trial
    before His Majesty!
[06:50] Touka
    Now hold on a minute!
[06:51] Touka
    This was an accident.
[06:52] Touka
    Besides, I'm the victim here.
    He was trespassing to steal food.
[06:57] Villager C
    Don't make excuses!
[06:59] Villager B
    You can atone with your life!
[07:00] Touka
    Ch-Chill out!
[07:02] Touka
    Let's think about this calmly for a moment.
[07:04] Touka
    The legendary hero died
     falling into a trap...
[07:06] Touka
    Who'd even believe that story?
[07:09] Touka
    If a buncha villagers came
    to me with that,
[07:12] Touka
    I'd bet they were the ones who did it!
[07:14] Villager B
    You're gonna try to pin this on us?!
[07:17] Village Chief
    No... I'm afraid he has a point.
[07:19] Village Chief
    No one would believe he died like this.
[07:23] Villager B
    W-We could blame it on a devil...
[07:25] Villager A
    Then how do we explain how we survived?
[07:28] Villager B
    But what other choice do we have?
[07:30] Touka
    Hold it.
[07:31] Touka
    There is another option.
[07:35] Touka
    Now, as far as anyone knows,
     he's just missing.
[07:37] Touka
    We had no part in it.
[07:40] Villager B
    "No part in it," my butt...
[07:41] Villager C
    Guess it figures that it takes
     a madman to off the legendary hero.
[07:45] Touka
    What do you want me to do?!
[07:46] Touka
    All our asses are on the line here!
[07:48] Touka
    We're just protecting the village.
[07:58] Touka
    Man, I feel great this morning.
[08:01] Touka
    Hiding the legendary hero's corpse
    must've been really therapeutic.
[08:05] Touka
    I feel like a whole new man—
[08:09] Touka
    What's going on?
[08:10] Touka
    I look like the legendary hero!
[08:12] Touka
    And on his worst day, no less...
[08:14] Touka
    Maybe I'm dreaming.
[08:17] Yuna
    Who could it be at this early hour?
[08:21] Yuna
    Mr. Legendary Hero?!
[08:23] Yuna
    Mr. Legendary Hero, you came back to life?!
[08:25] Touka
    W-Well, actually...
[08:27] Touka
    I guess I do look just like him.
[08:30] Touka
    Damn it, why'd I end up with that jerk's mug?
[08:33] Touka
    Hang on, she's totally into me!
[08:36] Touka
    That's it! At last, I could...
[08:38] Touka
    Well, Yuna, I had a favor to ask you...
[08:42] Yuna
    Will this serve your purpose,
    Mr. Legendary Hero?
[08:46] Touka
    Th-This is...
[08:48] Touka
    The power of the legendary hero!
[08:49] Touka
    The power of the world's savior!
[08:51] Touka
    Now I can put stockings on the luscious
    thighs of beautiful girls the world over!
[08:58] Yuna
    The legendary hero is looking at me
    with the most piercing gaze...
[09:02] Yuna
    He really is wonderful!
[09:04] Yuna
    Nothing like that stupid Touka!
[09:05] Yuna
    Though he does smell a little rank...
[09:08] Yuna
    No, don't say that, Yuna!
[09:10] Yuna
    Even if he stinks, the legendary hero...
[09:12] Yuna
    Stinks!
[09:14] Yuna
    Mr. Legendary Hero,
    you reek to hell and back!
[09:16] Touka
    Calm down, Yuna!
[09:17] Touka
    What are you—
[09:20] Touka
    Huh?
[09:21] Yuna
    You monster!
[09:22] Touka
    N-No! I'm Touka!
[09:24] Yuna
    Touka's no monster!
[09:26] Touka
    I just woke up like this!
[09:28] Yuna
    Oh? Prove you're Touka, then!
[09:30] Touka
    Magical Girl Magical Yunarin.
[09:33] Touka
    That's what you called yourself at age
    twelve when you wanted to be a mage.
[09:38] Touka
    I'm the only one in the village who knows.
[09:40] Touka
    You even made that lame outfit
    you were so proud of!
[09:43] Touka
    It was hilarious.
[09:44] Touka
    Huh? Yunarin?
[09:46] Touka
    Yunari—
[09:48] Yuna
    Fine, we've established that you're Touka.
[09:51] Yuna
    So, how did you turn into the legendary hero?
[09:53] Touka
    No idea. I wish I knew.
[09:56] Touka
    Seems like my soul got swapped
    into his buried corpse,
[10:02] Touka
    so it must be magic at work.
[10:06] Anri
    So you recognized my necromancy!
[10:07] Anri
    As expected of the man
    who killed Sion the hero!
[10:10] Touka
    Who's there?!
[10:12] Yuna
    It's coming from your field.
[10:16] Anri
    It's about time!
[10:17] Anri
    I'm Anri Haysworth the necromancer!
[10:21] sign
    Anri Haysworth
    Necromancer
[10:21] Anri
    The one who made you Sion the hero!
[10:28] Touka
    And why did you do that, huh?!
[10:30] Yuna
    You're still going?!
[10:31] Anri
    W-Well... I...
[10:34] Anri
    B-Before I answer, could you please help me?
[10:39] Anri
    That was a close call!
[10:43] Anri
    I was dying to see how you'd react when you
     woke up looking like the legendary hero...
[10:50] Anri
    To think you'd anticipate
    my actions and set a trap!
[10:54] Touka
    Sounds like you just screwed up to me!
[10:56] Touka
    I know jack about necromancers,
[10:58] Touka
    but I got better things to do
    than entertain a child's prank.
[11:01] Touka
    So go on. Turn me back.
[11:02] Anri
    This is no prank!
[11:04] Anri
    You must now save the world
    as the legendary hero!
[11:08] Sion
    What?
[11:09] Anri
    When I was traveling with
    Sion the hero, I made him a promise...
[11:13] (Flashback) Sion
    If it ever seems my death is imminent,
[11:16] (Flashback) Sion
    I want you to use your power
    to bequeath my body to another.
[11:20] (Flashback) Sion
    Someone you believe can save the world.
[11:24] Anri
    Not only did you kill Sion,
    you nearly managed to get me too!
[11:28] Anri
    Someone of your prowess
     can surely save the world!
[11:32] Touka
    You both just fell in, damn it!
[11:35] Yuna
    Okay, I get it now.
[11:37] Yuna
    In that case...
[11:39] Yuna
    I'm coming with!
[11:40] Touka
    You sure packed fast!
[11:42] Yuna
    I've always wanted to go on an adventure.
[11:45] Yuna
    I've got to repay the legendary
    hero for saving me...
[11:48] Yuna
    And you've got to make up for what you did!
[11:51] Touka
    Sounds dumb. Pass.
[11:53] Anri
    Oh? You'd rather be punished
    for killing the hero instead?
[11:59] Anri
    Then I'll put you to death, here and now!
[12:01] Touka
    I-I'm still in the hero's body.
[12:04] Touka
    A li'l punk like you can't—
[12:05] Anri
    Your original body is still your true form.
[12:10] Anri
    This is the Coffin of the Living,
    an ancient magic artifact.
[12:13] Anri
    Your original body is sealed within.
[12:16] Anri
    The moment I destroy it,
[12:19] Anri
    your consciousness will expire.
[12:23] Touka
    I see.
[12:25] Touka
    If that's how you wanna play...
[12:28] Touka
    Please, let me save the world.
[12:30] Anri
    Very good!
[12:32] sign
    Bellun
[12:33] Yuna
    Wow! What a bustling town!
[12:35] Anri
    Bellun is the largest city in the region.
[12:38] Anri
    We'll prepare for our journey here.
[12:41] Touka
    You can prepare all you want.
[12:43] Touka
    I'm still not psychologically ready.
[12:45] Yuna
    Man up and face facts already, would you?
[12:48] Touka
    Ha! I can't change my emotions
    on a whim like you do.
[12:52] Touka
    Acting like some tourist right
    after your beloved hero died...
[12:56] Touka
    Talk about heartless.
[12:58] Yuna
    I'm still totally sad about that!
[13:00] Yuna
    But the legendary hero said he loved my smile,
[13:04] Yuna
    so I can't stay down in the dumps forever.
[13:06] Touka
    Huh, you don't say.
[13:09] Touka
    Meanwhile, I'll be smile-free until
    this whole stupid journey's over.
[13:13] Girl A
    Look! It's the legendary hero!
[13:15] Girl B
    What a dreamboat!
[13:17] Girl C
    He's so handsome!
[13:19] Touka
    This body freaking rocks!
[13:23] Yuna
    Look at these cute wands!
[13:25] Yuna
    I kinda want one.
[13:27] Shopkeep
    As I'd expect of the hero's companion,
    you have a discerning eye.
[13:30] Shopkeep
    That's our best magic catalyst.
[13:34] Yuna
    Really?
[13:35] Touka
    You can't even use magic.
[13:37] Yuna
    So what? I can get the look down first.
[13:40] Touka
    If you insist.
[13:41] Touka
    I'll buy it for you as a gift.
[13:43] Yuna
    Touka...
[13:44] Touka
    Shopkeep, how much for the wand?
[13:46] Shopkeep
    Ten million kruks.
[13:49] Touka
    W-Wow, only ten million?
[13:52] Touka
    Anri, how much does the hero's party have?
[13:54] Anri
    Not that much, for sure.
[13:58] Touka
    Would you two mind waiting outside?
[14:03] Touka
    He gave it to me for a thousand.
[14:05] Anri & Yuna
    What?!
[14:06] Anri
    How'd you manage that?
[14:07] Touka
    With charisma that exceeds
    the legendary hero's.
[14:10] Yuna
    This is all we have, and it won't buy
    much more than a room for the night.
[14:15] Touka
    What gives, Anri?
[14:16] Touka
    Didn't the king pay you
    a reward three years ago?
[14:20] Anri
    Nope.
[14:21] Anri
    I've never even met the king.
[14:23] Touka
    Huh? How come?
[14:25] Yuna
    Is that because necromancy
    is taboo or something?
[14:29] Anri
    Y-Yes...
[14:30] Yuna
    I thought so.
[14:31] Touka
    What's a taboo?
[14:33] Yuna
    A kind of magic that's illegal to even use.
[14:36] Yuna
    If it gets out that she's a taboo-caster,
[14:39] Yuna
    she could be executed for it.
[14:41] Anri
    Indeed.
[14:42] Anri
    Only our party at the time knows I was
    a part of what happened three years ago.
[14:48] Anri
    Even at your village, I simply watched
    from afar so as not to make trouble.
[14:53] Yuna
    What will we do for our
    upcoming journey, then?
[14:55] Touka
    Leave it to my charisma.
[15:03] Touka
    Our meal's on the house!
[15:05] Yuna
    No way!
[15:06] Touka
    Man, I'm thinking we can do this
    without any money at all!
[15:09] Anri
    That's the man who defeated the hero for you!
[15:11] Yuna
    You want us to keep relying
    on people's goodwill?
[15:14] Yuna
    We'll be leeches on society!
[15:16] Anri
    Yes, indeed. That's very true!
[15:18] Touka
    Then what are we supposed to do?
[15:19] Yuna
    Let's look for work at the adventurers' guild.
[15:23] Touka
    You want to take honest work?
[15:25] Touka
    Well, I think that's a terrible—
[15:27] Girl C
    Mr. Legendary Hero!
[15:30] Touka
    Older ladies with luscious thighs!
[15:32] Girl C
    Want to come by and sample our wares?
[15:35] Girl D
    You kind of stink, though,
    Mr. Legendary Hero...
[15:37] Touka
    N-Not many chances to
    wash up on a long journey!
[15:42] Girl C
    Oh! Why don't you clean up with us, then?
[15:45] Girl D
    You know, I've never met the real hero,
[15:48] Girl D
    and I hear there've been lots
    of impostors lately.
[15:52] Girl C
    Why don't we ask my bodyguard about it?
[15:55] Girl C
    He said he fought
    alongside him once, after all!
[15:59] Bodyguard
    He does look like the real deal.
[16:02] Bodyguard
    I'm honored to meet you again!
[16:05] Bodyguard
    Do you remember the promise
    you made me that day?
[16:07] Touka
    Promise?
[16:08] Bodyguard
    I requested a proper duel.
[16:11] Bodyguard
    I'm willing to die here if I have to.
[16:13] Touka
    Can't say I feel the same, personally!
[16:16] Girl C
    Go, Mr. Legendary Hero!
[16:18] Girl D
    Win, and we can all take a bath together!
[16:20] Touka
    There's no plausible way I can win...
[16:23] Touka
    Wait, the hero has the Sacred Sword!
[16:26] Touka
    With this, there's no way I can lose!
[16:29] Touka
    I'll end this in a minute flat.
[16:34] Touka
    I'm so limber in this body!
[16:36] Touka
    I'll show you what the hero can really do!
[16:40] Touka & Bodyguard
    Huh?
[16:43] Touka
    My eye! My eye!
[16:45] Touka
    Why'd the Sacred Sword bend like that?!
[16:49] Bodyguard
    He's a fake!
[16:50] Bodyguard
    The legendary hero's nowhere near that weak!
[16:53] Girl D
    I knew something smelled about this.

    Honestly!
[17:00] Yuna
    Where'd that stupid Touka run off to?
[17:03] Anri
    Miss Yuna! What about this job?
[17:06] Yuna
    Eliminating devils? And each one's worth...
[17:08] Yuna
    Three hundred thousand?!
[17:10] Yuna
    We can slay devils and earn money!
[17:12] Yuna
    Two birds with one stone!
[17:15] Anri
    Now shower me with praise!
[17:17] Yuna
    Of course! What a smart girl!
[17:19] Kyle
    Anri? Is that you?
[17:22] Yuna
    Who's that?

    The Kyle? The scion of one of the continent's
    most prestigious families
[17:32] Yuna
    who made a name for himself as
    the legendary hero's right-hand man?
[17:38] Kyle
    I'm sure you're intimidated
    by my noble status,
[17:42] Kyle
    but feel free to treat me like anyone else.
[17:44] Anri
    What brings you
    to a place like this, Sir Kyle?
[17:48] Kyle
    I've been trying to track sightings of Sion.
[17:51] Kyle
    But I suppose you know where he is, right?
[17:55] Anri
    The legendary hero...
[17:56] Anri
    is dead.
[17:59] Shopkeep
    Return my ten-million-kruk wand!
[18:01] Citizen A
    Pay up, you damn fake!
[18:03] Touka
    Take a close look!
    I'm really the legendary hero!
[18:06] Citizen B
    The hero doesn't look
    that sickly or smell that bad!
[18:09] Citizen C
    Yeah, he's right!
[18:09] Touka
    Well, see, there was this curse, and...
[18:12] Touka
    Stupid Anri!
[18:14] Touka
    You said my mana would automatically
    restore my zombified body!
[18:18] Touka
    But I'm obviously rotting!
[18:21] Touka
    Plus, I've got the Sacred—
[18:24] Lord
    Replicas I've confiscated
    from impostors like you.
[18:29] Lord
    To discourage further copycats, we should
    make an example of you with a life sentence.
[18:34] Lord
    Maybe a death sentence would be more apt.
[18:35] Touka
    Hell no, it wouldn't!
[18:37] Kyle
    I implore you to wait.
[18:39] Girl E
    Lord Kyle?!
[18:41] Girl F
    The legendary hero's companion?
[18:42] Lord
    Well, well! Lord Kyle!
[18:44] Lord
    What brings you here?
[18:45] Kyle
    I have business with an old friend.
[18:47] Kyle
    He's the real deal. I'd like him released.
[18:50] Lord
    Please, my lord. His appearance and
    behavior suggest quite the contrary...
[18:55] Kyle
    Shall I show you the proof?
[18:59] Touka
    You saved me!
[19:01] Kyle
    Anri filled me in on the situation.
[19:02] Kyle
    Hold the Sacred Sword
    and visualize a giant blade.
[19:06] Touka
    A giant blade?
[19:11] Touka
    What the hell?!
[19:12] Bodyguard
    That's the true Sacred Sword!
[19:15] Bodyguard
    When we fought together, his sword
    would swell to massive proportions
[19:18] Bodyguard
    and he'd nail the devils all at once!
[19:20] Person
    I've seen it too!
[19:20] Lord
    That means this man is the real—
[19:21] Person 2
    Me too!
[19:24] Villager 1
    It's drooping.
[19:24] Villager 2
    It wasn't bendy when I saw him fight...
[19:25] Touka
    What now?
[19:27] Villager 3
    Maybe he is a fake?
[19:27] Kyle
    What the hell is that?
[19:29] Lord
    It seems that he is a fake, after—
[19:31] Yuna
    Hold it right there!
[19:33] Yuna
    If he slays more devils
    on this quest than anyone,
[19:36] Yuna
    that'll prove it, right?
[19:38] Touka
    Wait, hang on. That seems kinda—
[19:40] Crowd
    Yeah!
[19:42] Lord
    Interesting.
[19:44] Lord
    Let us have him prove himself, then.
[19:48] Touka
    Over twenty devils have been sighted?!
[19:51] Touka
    I don't stand a damn chance!
[19:52] Yuna
    What do you want from me?!
[19:54] Yuna
    This was the only way
    to get them off your back!
[19:57] Anri
    Sir Touka, all journeys contain trials.
[20:00] Touka
    And also,
[20:02] Touka
    I wanna know why I'm rotting
     and my sword went flaccid.
[20:06] Anri
    I see.
[20:07] Anri
    The chosen one's mana determines
    the Sacred Sword's strength.
[20:11] Anri
    You'll also require mana
    to maintain that zombie body.
[20:14] Anri
    This leads me to one conclusion...
[20:17] Anri
    You have a miserably limited amount of mana.
[20:21] Touka
    But I'm in the legendary hero's body now!
[20:23] Anri
    Nay, mana derives from the spirit.
[20:26] Yuna
    That makes sense.
[20:27] Yuna
    Touka's worthless soul
    means he has piddly mana.
[20:31] Anri
    I was careless...
[20:32] Anri
    I assumed the man who slew the hero
    would have plenty of mana!
[20:36] Touka
    M-Maybe it went flaccid
    because I'm too awesome!
[20:40] Anri
    In that case...
[20:41] Anri
    This is a magic crystal.
[20:43] Anri
    They're typically used in spellcasting,
[20:46] Anri
    but if you grip one tightly,
[20:48] Anri
    it will shine according to the holder's mana.
[20:52] Kyle
    That light suggests
    the highest possible level.
[20:55] Touka
    Hand it over.
[21:01] Touka
    I don't think it's working.
[21:02] Kyle
    No...
[21:03] Kyle
    There's a faint light in the center.
[21:05] Yuna
    Sad.
[21:06] Anri
    Very well...
[21:07] Anri
    Sir Touka has a mana level of 1,
    akin to a baby's.
[21:11] Yuna
    What about mine?!
[21:13] Anri
    Yours is level 2, akin to a child's.
[21:16] Yuna
    No way!
[21:17] Kyle
    This is a rather grave turn of events.
[21:20] Kyle
    It's bad enough to be a poor combatant,
[21:21] Kyle
    but at this rate, you'll just keep rotting
    until you're a mere skeleton.
[21:25] Kyle
    Thus, I propose...
[21:26] Kyle
    Why not let me play
    the legendary hero instead?
[21:29] Touka
    That's a great idea!
[21:32] Touka
    Then I can go back to my body!
[21:34] Yuna
    He'd be a million times
    better at it than Touka!
[21:36] Anri
    No!
[21:37] Anri
    I won't accept Sir Kyle
    as the legendary hero.
[21:40] Touka
    But shouldn't the job go to
    the guy who wants it?
[21:44] Kyle
    You're still angry about three years ago?
[21:47] Yuna
    Did something happen back then?
[21:49] Anri
    No. That is unrelated.
[21:51] Anri
    The legendary hero's successor must be
    capable of saving the world.
[21:55] Anri
    One of you managed to slay him.
[21:56] Anri
    The other could never best him.
[21:59] Anri
    If I must gamble, I choose the former.
[22:00] Touka
    Seriously, it was an accident!
[22:02] Kyle
    In that case...
[22:04] Kyle
    If I slay him now, will you accept me then?
[22:08] Touka
    Huh?!
