**[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!
