[00:00] Rionne
    Some suspected you'd try to assassinate me,
    but you seem safe.
[00:04] Shin
    I don't recall saying anything
    that would clear such suspicions.
[00:07] Rionne
    Of course you didn't.
    I'm going off my instincts.
[00:10] Shin
    What?
[00:11] Rionne
    You've shown your colors.
[00:12] Shin
    I mean, I doubt anyone would
    accept that without more concrete proof.
[00:19] Rionne
    That's not a problem.
    I possess the skill "Intuition."
[00:22] Rionne
    My hunches have never been wrong.
[00:26] Shin/Id
    Is that how Intuition works?
[00:29] Shin/Id
    Is the Intuition skill
    enhancing her woman's intuition?
[00:33] Gadras
    Well, the most decisive factor was that
[00:35] Gadras
    you possess a letter of introduction
    from the Moon Sanctum.
[00:38] Rionne
    Schnee wouldn't grant one
    to anyone who'd plot an assassination.
[00:43] Rionne
    This was more like a final check.
[00:46] Shin
    I see. So, now we get down to business?
[00:50] Rionne
    Yes. Allow me to be direct.
[00:55] Shin/Id
    Is it marriage after all?!
[00:58] Rionne
    Shin, I want you to fight me!
[01:04] Shin
    What?
[01:06] Gadras
    Your Highness, we should discuss
    him entering our service first!
[01:10] Rionne
    What are you talking about?
    Confirming his abilities comes first.
[01:14] Gadras
    Even so, there must be a more
     delicate way to go about this.
[01:17] Gadras
    What kind of princess up and
    demands that people fight them?
[01:22] Rionne
    My sister is the ladylike one.
[01:25] Shin/Id
    The ladylike one?
[01:29] Rionne
    Now, then, let us be off.
[01:31] Gadras
    What?
[01:36] Gadras
    Y-Your Highness...
[01:40] Shin
    You must have it rough.
[01:41] Gadras
    I appreciate your understanding.
[03:17] Shin
    Where are we teleporting?
[03:20] Rionne
    Somewhere we can fight
    to our hearts' content.
[03:35] Shin
    What is this place?
[03:37] Rionne
    They say it was a training ground built
    for battles between chosen ones.
[03:42] Shin
    "They say"?
[03:43] Rionne
    In truth, we don't know what
    other purposes it may have served.
[03:47] Rionne
    Teleportation points are
    pre-Dusk of Prosperity technology.
[03:51] Rionne
    We still don't fully understand them.
[03:54] Shin
    I see.
[03:56] Shin/Id
    I did think it was strange that they
    have teleportation points
[03:59] Shin/Id
    even though teleportation is lost magic.
[04:02] Rionne
    Now, let us begin.
[04:05] Rionne
    Choose whichever weapon you'd like.
[04:13] Shin
    I'll use this.
[04:14] Rionne
    Then I...
[04:18] Rionne
    shall go with this.
[04:22] Shin/Id
    That looks so odd in real life.
[04:30] Rionne
    This battle is to test your abilities.
[04:32] Rionne
    I expect you to put in a bit of sweat.
[04:35] Shin
    Go easy on me.
[04:37] Gadras
    Now, then...
[04:38] Gadras
    Begin!
[04:50] Shin/Id
    She let go of her sword.
[04:56] Rionne
    I thought I'd be able
     to surprise you a little.
[05:00] Shin
    Oh, I'm plenty surprised.
[05:02] Rionne
    You say as if you didn't readily dodge me.
[05:05] Rionne
    The next one won't be so easy.
[05:07] Shin/Id
    To fight a primarily melee-ranged
    chosen one on even terms,
[05:10] Shin/Id
    I'll adjust my stats like so.
[05:13] Shin
    Now it's my turn to attack.
[05:20] Rionne
    You'd challenge me to a contest of strength?
[05:23] Shin
    I'm actually pretty confident
    in my physical strength.
[05:30] Rionne
    You may use skills as well. No holding back.
[05:33] Shin
    If you insist.
[05:36] Shin
    Flashing Vigor!
[05:40] Rionne
    Flashing Vigor!
[05:43] Gadras/Id
    They both used the same skill.
[05:46] Gadras/Id
    There's hardly any difference
    in the degree of enhancement.
[05:48] Gadras/Id
    All that separates them now
    is simple difference in ability.
[05:56] Shin/Id
    She's fast!
[06:03] Rionne
    Hey, you dodged it.
[06:05] Shin/Id
    If I hadn't, I think you'd be looking
    at a dead man right now.
[06:09] Rionne
    It appears we're fighters of a similar type.
[06:12] Rionne
    Our reaction speeds are roughly the same, too.
[06:14] Shin
    You're right.
[06:16] Shin
    Settling this match won't be easy.
[06:18] Shin
    Why don't we stop here?
[06:20] Rionne
    You think? I'd rather keep
     fighting a little longer.
[06:24] Shin
    Your sword seems to be at its limit.
[06:28] Rionne
    I knew it couldn't withstand it...
[06:30] Gadras
    Your skills rival Her Highness's.
[06:33] Gadras
    On top of that,
    your reaction time is impressive.
[06:35] Gadras
    This was an adequate assessment.
[06:38] Rionne
    I suppose I shouldn't force you to continue.
[06:41] Rionne
    Very well. We shall conclude our duel.
[06:44] Both/Id
    Thank goodness!
[06:50] Guard
    This room is off-limits. Please turn back.
[06:56] Rionne
    Shin, would you be interested in joining us?
[06:59] Rionne
    I'd feel better with you serving our kingdom.
[07:03] Shin
    My apologies, but I'll have to pass.
[07:06] Rionne
    You wouldn't be a general,
    but I can promise you decent status.
[07:11] Shin
    With all sorts of strings attached, no?
[07:14] Shin
    I prefer the free life of an adventurer.
[07:17] Rionne
    I see. Let me know
    if you ever change your mind.
[07:21] Shin
    Thank you.
[07:23] Shin
    By the way, why do you
    have the Skullface's sword?
[07:26] Shin
    You didn't use it when you tested me.
[07:28] Rionne
    Oh, this?
[07:30] Rionne
    In our kingdom, it's customary for a man
[07:32] Rionne
    to give a woman a sword
    when proposing marriage.
[07:36] Rionne
    She'd use it to cut him down
    if he were unfaithful.
[07:39] Shin
    Well, that's unsettling.
[07:41] Rionne
    These days, it's just a formality.
[07:43] Rionne
    Anyway, I'd like to consider this sword that
    crashed into my bedchamber a gift from you.
[07:51] Shin
    Wouldn't that imply I'd proposed to you?
[07:55] Rionne
    Yes, I suppose it would.
[07:57] Shin
    It was only an accident
    that the sword went flying...
[08:01] Rionne
    I know. I won't force the matter.
[08:05] Gadras
    However, there are those plotting to leverage
    this incident to arrest you as a criminal
[08:09] Gadras
    and have you gradually repay
    the kingdom through service.
[08:13] Shin
    Well, even if it wasn't on purpose,
    it easily could have killed someone.
[08:18] Rionne
    So I suggest we treat it as tribute.
[08:21] Shin
    I see. We can treat it as tribute
    instead of a marriage proposal.
[08:25] Shin
    That way, you're officially presented
    with a powerful weapon.
[08:29] Rionne
    And you can get the kingdom off your back.
[08:32] Gadras
    It does sound a bit forced, though.
[08:35] Rionne
    Naturally, I shall compensate him
    for the blade from my own coffers.
[08:39] Rionne
    I understand that we stand to gain
    more from this arrangement,
[08:42] Rionne
    but please, allow me to keep this sword!
[08:46] Shin
    Sure.
[08:46] Rionne
    What?
[08:48] Shin
    All I want is to keep working
    as an adventurer as I have been.
[08:53] Shin
    Oh, and I don't need any money.
[08:55] Shin
    Instead, could you allow me access to the
     restricted zones of the magical library?
[08:59] Rionne
    That's all you want?
[09:00] Rionne
    This sword is worth enough for you to live
     as you please for the rest of your days!
[09:05] Shin
    What I want right now is information.
[09:08] Shin
    It's just that valuable to me.
[09:13] Rionne
    I see.
[09:14] Shin
    So, do we have a deal?
[09:17] Rionne
    Of course. To tell you the truth,
    I've already used it a few times.
[09:21] Rionne
    It's starting to feel good in my hand.
[09:23] Shin/Id
    She totally intended to make
    the sword hers from the get-go.
[09:37] Rionne
    Cardinal Greril, what are you doing over there?
[09:41] Sign
    Charm IV Confusion III
[09:41] Sign
    Priest Greril Dalles
[09:43] Shin
    This is bad! He's afflicted
    with Charm and Confusion.
[09:47] Gadras
    Stop!
[09:50] Shin/Id
    Are we being teleported?
[09:52] Shin/Id
    But I feel sick...
[09:58] Gadras
    Your Highness!
[10:09] Shin
    Seriously? Where are we?
[10:13] Shin
    Are you all right?
[10:17] Rionne
    What in the world happened?
[10:18] Shin
    Seems we've been teleported somewhere.
[10:22] Rionne
    Somewhere this dilapidated, reachable
    from that teleportation point...
[10:27] Rionne
    We must be in the Holy Land, Calkia.
[10:30] Shin
    This is the holy land?
[10:32] Rionne
    Were we the only ones teleported?
[10:34] Shin
    Looks like it. At the very least,
    there's nobody nearby.
[10:38] Rionne
    For a priest as powerful
    as Cardinal Greril to lose his mind...
[10:43] Rionne
    What's the meaning of this?
[10:45] Shin
    For now, let's get out of here.
[10:47] Rionne
    Right.
[10:48] Shin
    Can you use telepathy?
[10:50] Rionne
    No. Unfortunately,
    I'm not in a party with anyone.
[10:53] Shin
    Then I'll get in touch with mine.
[10:55] Shin
    I'd like to tell my companions
    where to meet us.
[10:58] Shin
    Do you know any nearby cities?
[11:00] Rionne
    There's the walled city of Valmer.
[11:03] Rionne
    You'd pass through it whether
    coming or going from Bayrelicht.
[11:07] Shin
    Got it.
[11:09] Shin
    Well, speak of the devil.
[11:11] Shin
    Hey, Schnee.
[11:12] Schnee
    Shin! Where are you?
[11:15] Schnee
    Are you all right?! Please respond!
[11:18] Shin
    I-I'm okay, so calm down.
[11:21] Shin
    I'll explain the situation.
[11:22] Schnee
    B-But...
[11:24] Shin
    I'll say it again. I'm fine.
[11:26] Schnee
    V-Very well. I'm sorry.
[11:29] Schnee
    You disappeared so suddenly,
    I thought you'd left again.
[11:35] Schnee
    So, what happened?
[11:38] Shin
    Well, actually...
[11:42] Schnee
    Charm and Confusion?
[11:44] Shin
    Yeah. It's safe to assume someone
    was controlling Cardinal Greril.
[11:50] Schnee
    Mind-affecting skills are taboo.
[11:53] Schnee
    Even royals are subject to execution
    if caught with them.
[11:58] Shin
    Then we have someone lurking in the shadows.
[12:00] Schnee
    Yes, without a doubt.
[12:02] Shin
    I could just teleport out of here,
    but if I use supposedly lost magic,
[12:07] Shin
    I doubt the princess and her people
    will let me go.
[12:10] Shin
    I hate to ask, but could you
    handle things over there?
[12:12] Schnee
    That's no problem at all.
[12:14] Schnee
    I'll tell them the princess is safe as well.
[12:16] Schnee
    Where shall we meet up?
[12:18] Shin
    Let's meet in Valmer.
[12:19] Shin
    It's apparently a good place for that.
[12:21] Schnee
    Understood.
[12:23] Shin
    Thanks, Schnee.
[12:24] Schnee
    You can count on me.
[12:26] Tiera
    Master...
[12:28] Schnee
    Shin is all right.
[12:29] Tiera
    I'm so glad!
[12:31] Schnee
    Also...
[12:33] Schnee
    I have urgent business.
[12:34] Schnee
    You'll be coming with me.
[12:36] Tiera
    Urgent business?
[12:39] Schnee
    Yes. We're going to the palace.
[12:44] Schnee
    Shin has gotten caught up
    in some kind of trouble.
[12:47] Schnee
    Apparently one of those is behind it.
[12:49] Tiera
    One of what?
[12:51] Schnee
    A demon.
[12:52] Tiera
    A demon?
[12:54] Yuzuha
    I don't like those!
[12:56] Tiera
    They're monsters born from miasma, right?
[13:00] Schnee
    Yes. They're enemies who make people suffer.
[13:04] Schnee
    The chief difference between them
    and other monsters
[13:06] Schnee
    is that they're empowered inside miasma.
[13:09] Schnee
    They can also disguise themselves
    as other monsters.
[13:14] Schnee
    Monsters afflicted with miasma
    indiscriminately attack creatures around them.
[13:21] Schnee
    The more humanoid a demon is,
    the more powerful and intelligent.
[13:24] Sign
    Grand Duke Class
    Duke Class
    Marquis Class
    Count Class
    Knight Class
    Baron Class
    Viscount Class
[13:25] Schnee
    They are ranked accordingly.
[13:28] Schnee
    Because this one used skills to control a man,
[13:31] Schnee
    it's likely a relatively intelligent
    demon of the count class.
[13:36] Tiera
    And what level would that make it?
[13:38] Schnee
    Let's see... 300 at the lowest,
    400 at the highest.
[13:44] Tiera
    And it's still only a mid-rank class, huh?
[13:48] Tiera
    M-Master, I'm still not even half
    the lowest level it could be...
[13:53] Schnee
    That won't be a problem.
[13:55] Schnee
    We're just going to observe today.
[13:57] Tiera
    We're... observing?
[14:07] Schnee
    Around here should do.
[14:09] Schnee
    Hiding.
[14:13] Tiera
    A concealment spell?
[14:15] Tiera
    Don't tell me we're going to sneak in!
[14:18] Schnee
    That's exactly what we're doing.
[14:19] Tiera
    What?
[14:20] Schnee
    We're going to take a brief flight.
    Hold on tight.
[14:23] Tiera
    What?
[14:24] Tiera
    What?!
[14:33] Schnee
    Now, let's sneak into the castle.
[14:36] Tiera/Id
    Come to think of it,
    Master is pretty extreme...
[14:45] Tiera/Id
    I know we're using Hiding,
    but we're walking in so brazenly.
[14:49] Tiera
    Master, where are we headed?
[14:52] Schnee
    To the dungeon.
[14:54] Tiera
    Th-The dungeon?
[14:59] Schnee
    The demon has already been captured.
[15:01] Tiera
    What?
[15:06] Schnee
    Sleep.
[15:15] Tiera
    You're incredible, Master.
[15:25] Greril
    Who's there?
[15:27] Schnee
    It's good to see you again, Cardinal Greril.
[15:30] Greril
    Lady Raizar?
[15:32] Greril
    What are you doing here?
[15:33] Schnee
    I heard you had Charm
    and Confusion cast on you.
[15:36] Greril
    You know about that?
[15:39] Greril
    I remember nothing of them being cast on me.
[15:44] Greril
    No matter how hard I try to recall,
    all I can conjure are fragments of memories.
[15:50] Schnee
    Probably an effect of having
    two mind-affecting conditions.
[15:53] Schnee
    Don't worry. The two individuals
    who were teleported are safe.
[15:57] Greril
    What? Can that truly be?
[16:00] Schnee
    Yes, I'm certain. It won't be long
    before they return.
[16:05] Greril
    Please accept my deepest gratitude.
[16:08] Schnee
    Now that there's nothing to worry about,
[16:12] Schnee
    why don't we dispel the status effects on you?
[16:15] Greril
    Please do.
[16:17] Schnee
    Here we go.
[16:26] Schnee
    You've finally revealed yourself.
[16:28] Tiera
    Th-This...
[16:32] Tiera
    is the demon?
[16:34] Sign
    Count-class Demon
[16:34] Sign
    Magnumuk
[16:36] Schnee
    You have a name?
[16:38] Schnee
    I see. No wonder you're intelligent.
[16:42] Magnumuk
    A silver-haired, blue-eyed high elf...
[16:46] Magnumuk
    You're Schnee Raizar.
[16:48] Schnee
    It's been five hundred years
    since I've encountered one of you.
[16:52] Schnee
    I haven't seen a demon since the cataclysm,
[16:54] Schnee
    but you're as unsightly as ever.
[16:57] Magnumuk
    How vexing. You're always getting in our way!
[17:02] Schnee
    Of course we are.
[17:12] Magnumuk
    You're mine!
[17:24] Schnee
    A trifle.
[17:26] Magnumuk
    Why do you protect the human?
[17:30] Schnee
    Because it'd be a shame to let him die
    over these false charges.
[17:34] Schnee
    Besides, allowing you to run amok
    would disgrace the Moon Sanctum.
[17:38] Magnumuk
    The Moon Sanctum...
[17:41] Magnumuk
    That's where the high human used to be.
[17:43] Magnumuk
    The likes of him defeated many of my kind.
[17:47] Magnumuk
    But that's all in the past now.
[17:50] Schnee
    You think so?
[17:51] Magnumuk
    Many warriors forsook this world and left.
[17:55] Magnumuk
    The people are still divided,
    and corruption is spreading.
[17:59] Magnumuk
    The age of man is ending.
[18:02] Magnumuk
    Schnee Raizar, join us.
[18:06] Schnee
    I was wondering what your angle was.
[18:09] Schnee
    That will never happen.
[18:10] Magnumuk
    Why are you so determined to scorn us?
[18:14] Magnumuk
    You were abandoned by your master.
[18:17] Schnee
    What?
[18:19] Schnee
    What did you just say?
[18:22] Magnumuk
    Your master left you behind.
[18:25] Magnumuk
    Much time has elapsed
    in the high humans' absence.
[18:29] Magnumuk
    They will never return.
[18:31] Magnumuk
    Do you not resent those who abandoned you?
[18:35] Magnumuk
    Do those who now depend
    on your power not irritate you?
[18:40] Schnee
    Ah, so you don't know after all.
[18:44] Magnumuk
    What are you talking about?
[18:46] Schnee
    I probably would have been angry before.
[18:50] Schnee
    Perhaps I fought based on my emotions.
[18:55] Schnee
    But you chose the most unfortunate timing.
[19:02] Magnumuk
    That's Blue Moon! Could it be...
[19:09] Magnumuk/Id
    The high humans have returned?
[19:17] Schnee
    I doubt I'd even lose
    to an Elementail right now.
[19:21] Guard A
    Wow! So that's the famed...
[19:24] Guard B
    She's beautiful.
[19:26] Official A
    But what is she doing in the castle?
[19:29] Tiera/Id
    Everyone's staring at my master!
[19:45] Schnee
    Excuse me.
[19:47] Jayon
    Lady Raizar? What are you doing here?
[19:50] Schnee
    Your Majesty, I came to speak with you.
[19:54] Efilia
    I thought Cardinal Greril
    had been thrown into the dungeon.
[19:58] Schnee
    Yes. I have something to report regarding that.
[20:04] Jayon
    A demon?
[20:05] Jayon
    So the enemies of humanity
    written about in history books are active...
[20:10] Gadras
    And using taboo mind-affecting skills, too?
[20:14] Gadras
    That's a serious problem.
[20:15] Efilia
    I hope my magic can be used to resist them.
[20:19] Schnee
    I have good news as well.
[20:22] Schnee
    The two who were teleported are safe.
[20:25] Jayon
    Is that true?
[20:27] Efilia
    What a relief.
[20:29] Gadras
    I had faith that Her Highness
    and Shin wouldn't go down so easily!
[20:33] Gadras
    This is great news indeed!
[20:36] Greril
    I'm terribly sorry for the trouble I caused.
[20:40] Jayon
    If you were under the effects
    of compulsion, it is not your fault.
[20:44] Jayon
    I hope you'll continue to act
    as our liaison with the church.
[20:50] Greril
    Certainly, sire! I vow to work
    even harder from now on.
[20:54] Schnee
    Your Majesty, word of disarray in the castle
    would unnerve the general populace.
[20:59] Schnee
    Information control is your top priority.
[21:01] Jayon
    Very well. What will you do now, Lady Raizar?
[21:07] Schnee
    There's somewhere I must go.
[21:09] Schnee
    Excuse me.
[21:14] Tiera
    E-Excuse us!
[21:20] Tiera
    Master, what are we going to do now?
[21:23] Schnee
    We're heading to the walled city of Valmer.
[21:25] Schnee
    We'll meet Shin there.
[21:27] Tiera
    But Shin has our wagon. Will we get a new one?
[21:33] Schnee
    That won't be necessary. We'll run there.
[21:36] Tiera
    Run?
[21:51] Schnee
    I'm going to increase my speed. Try to keep up.
[21:54] Tiera
    W-Wait, Master—
[21:58] Tiera
    Master, you're too fast!
