[00:00] Shin
    Rionne, do you know anything
    about the holy land?
[00:03] Rionne
    Well...
[00:05] Rionne
    Holy lands are cities that fell
    during the Dusk of Prosperity.
[00:09] Rionne
    This is my first time entering one,
[00:11] Rionne
    but I heard it takes several chosen ones
    to take down the monsters that appear within.
[00:16] Shin
    Then we'll need weapons.
[00:18] Rionne
    Fortunately, I was teleported with this.
[00:22] Shin
    The Skullface's sword!
[00:23] Shin
    Good. That'll do nicely.
[00:26] Rionne
    I'm all set, but what about you?
[00:29] Rionne
    Do you have any weapons?
[00:30] Shin
    Don't worry about me.
[00:34] Shin/Id
    I can't let the princess find out
    how strong I really am.
[00:37] Shin/Id
    If she learns I can use dozens of skills,
    she'll never let me leave.
[00:41] Shin/Id
    However...
[00:43] Shin/Id
    Getting out of here without using my
    full strength will be next to impossible.
[00:49] Rionne
    The Holy Land, Calkia, has gates
    in the four cardinal directions.
[00:53] Rionne
    When our people inspected the city,
    they entered through the south.
[00:56] Rionne
    There's a small door not far from it.
[01:00] Rionne
    Behind it should be a device
    for opening and closing the gate.
[01:04] Shin
    There's no need for us
    to wander through the city.
[01:06] Shin
    I'd like to take a shortcut to the gate.
[01:10] Shin
    What do you think of climbing the wall?
[01:15] Rionne
    What?
[01:17] Rionne
    What was that?
[01:19] Shin
    Sorry. Let me try again.
[01:21] Rionne
    Sure.
[01:24] Shin
    Rionne, how did that look to you just now?
[01:27] Rionne
    You definitely jumped,
[01:29] Rionne
    but you vanished once you were above
    the wall and reappeared on the ground.
[01:34] Shin
    I see.
[01:36] Shin/Id
    Am I being teleported?
[01:39] Rionne
    Shin?
[01:43] Rionne
    What's going on?
[01:45] Rionne
    You're moving strangely.
[01:48] Shin
    I know why now. Come with me.
[01:55] Shin
    Found you.
[01:57] Shin
    This is it.
[02:00] Rionne
    A ball of light?
[02:03] Shin/Id
    It functions just like in the game.
[02:05] Shin
    If one of these is here,
    this entire city must be a dungeon.
[02:10] Rionne
    What?
[02:12] Rionne
    I've never heard of a city
    becoming a dungeon before.
[02:15] Shin
    It does seem to work a bit differently
    from your standard dungeon.
[02:19] Shin
    We can only reach the exit of this
    dungeon by following a set route.
[02:24] Rionne
    So you couldn't reach the rooftops
    or pass through the hole because...
[02:29] Shin
    Yup.
[02:30] Shin
    Straying from the route sends you
     back to where you were before.
[02:35] Shin
    We'll have to follow those
    spheres in order to escape.
[02:39] Shin
    I don't see any traps, so we just need
[02:42] Shin
    to follow the spheres
    and defeat any monsters,
[02:45] Shin
    and we should be able to get out.
[02:47] Rionne
    I see.
[02:48] Rionne
    Forgive me for saying so,
    but I'm glad you got teleported with me.
[02:53] Rionne
    You saved me from having
    to crack the mystery myself.
[02:56] Shin
    The pleasure is all mine, Your Highness.
[02:59] Rionne
    Yeah, right.
[03:01] Rionne
    Now, let us find these spheres
    and advance through the dungeon.
[03:04] Rionne
    Let me know if anything seems off.
[03:07] Rionne
    This is a holy land.
[03:09] Rionne
    There's no telling what could happen here.
[03:12] Shin
    Got it.
[03:13] Shin
    That sphere should teleport us
    to the next location.
[03:17] Shin
    I'll go first.
[03:19] Shin
    I'll come right back if it's all clear.
[03:21] Shin
    Wait here.
[03:29] Shin
    It takes you to a place not far from here.
[03:32] Shin
    The vicinity is safe.
[03:34] Shin
    Let's go.
[03:35] Rionne
    Sorry for saddling you with a dangerous role.
[03:37] Shin
    It's fine.
[03:39] Shin
    I couldn't allow a princess to teleport first.
[03:42] Shin
    Besides, even if it drops me
    into a horde of monsters,
[03:46] Shin
    escaping would be a piece of cake for me.
[03:48] Shin/Id
    And even if they're dangerous,
[03:50] Shin/Id
    I can instantly slaughter them
    if I'm not being watched.
[03:53] Rionne
    I promise I'll repay the favor.
[03:55] Rionne
    Now, let's both get out of here alive together.
[03:57] Shin
    Of course. Now, then...
[04:05] Shin
    There's a monster around the corner.
[04:08] Rionne
    Got it.
[04:14] Rionne
    What is that?
[04:16] Shin
    It's a ghost-type monster
    known as a Ghillie Waiz.
[04:19] Shin
    It uses earth and wind magic.
[04:19] Sign
    Monster Ghillie Waiz
[04:22] Shin
    It moves irregularly, so be careful.
[04:31] Rionne
    It opened with an unbelievable spell!
[04:34] Rionne
    So this is a monster of a holy land...
[04:37] Shin
    I'll handle this.
[04:40] Shin
    Rionne, try to land a blow on him.
[04:43] Rionne
    Understood.
[04:44] Rionne
    I'm counting on you.
[04:53] Shin
    Good timing.
[04:56] Rionne
    You're mine!
[04:57] Rionne
    Full Moon Edge!
[05:02] Shin
    Fiery Ashes!
[05:08] Shin
    That should do it.
[05:11] Rionne
    That was surprisingly easy.
[05:13] Shin
    The Skullface's sword is enchanted with light.
[05:17] Shin
    That's the Ghillie Waiz's weakness.
[05:18] Rionne
    I see.
[05:20] Rionne
    By the way, Shin, what is that sword?
[05:24] Shin
    It's called Kakura.
[05:25] Shin
    It's a mid-tier mythic arm.
[05:28] Rionne
    Wow.
[05:29] Rionne
    You were hiding
    quite an impressive weapon.
[05:32] Shin
    Well, yeah. Everyone should keep
    a card or two up their sleeve.
[05:37] Shin/Id
    Of course, I've got more than one or two.
[05:39] Rionne
    Huh.
[05:41] Rionne
    I'm suddenly very interested in you.
[05:48] Rionne
    How many monsters can you sense within range?
[05:51] Shin
    More than twenty.
[05:53] Shin
    Monsters typically don't leave
    their territory within a dungeon,
[05:57] Shin
    but we can't let our guard down.
[05:59] Rionne
    It'd be great if we could reach
     the gate without issue.
[06:02] Rionne
    We should avoid as much danger
    as possible as we go.
[06:06] Shin
    Right.
[06:07] Shin/Id
    It's annoying that I can't
    flex my skills right now.
[06:12] Shin/Id
    Why do I have to play with restrictions
    when I'm not in the game world?
[06:20] Rionne
    A ball of light?
[06:22] Shin
    I'll check it out first.
[06:27] Rionne
    What is that?
[06:28] Sign
    Monster Gillslai
[06:28] Shin
    A Gillslai. We've run into
    a troublesome monster.
[06:32] Rionne
    What are you talking about?
[06:34] Rionne
    A large slime should pose
    no problem whatsoever!
[06:37] Shin
    Hey! Don't go charging in!
[06:43] Rionne
    What is this feeling?
[06:54] Shin
    I told you so.
[06:56] Shin
    Dust Explosion!
[07:04] Rionne
    I'm sorry. That was careless of me.
[07:06] Rionne
    I should know better in a holy land.
[07:09] Shin
    Gillslai are nasty foes immune to
    bludgeoning, slashing, and weak attacks.
[07:15] Shin
    They're also quite intelligent
    and will give chase.
[07:19] Shin
    So let's defeat it here.
[07:21] Shin
    Can you fight?
[07:22] Rionne
    Yeah. My life is in your hands.
[07:30] Shin
    Flare Burst!
[07:37] Shin
    Now!
[07:43] Shin
    You destroyed its core
    with precision. Nice going.
[07:47] Rionne
    You did far better than I.
[07:50] Rionne
    Anyway, you're getting
    far more casual with me.
[07:56] Rionne
    It doesn't bother me.
[07:58] Rionne
    It'd be weirder if you were too polite,
    given the circumstances.
[08:02] Rionne
    Neither of us needs to hold back.
[08:04] Shin
    Still, it's better to be proper.
[08:07] Shin
    So this is just until we get out of here.
[08:11] Rionne
    Very well.
[08:12] Rionne
    By the way, Shin,
    why do you keep looking away?
[08:15] Shin
    Well, uh... I can almost see a few things.
[08:20] Rionne
    What do you mean?
[08:30] Shin
    Put that on.
[08:32] Rionne
    Did you see?
[08:34] Shin
    Nope.
[08:35] Rionne
    Liar.
[08:38] Rionne
    Thank you.
[08:40] Rionne
    Are you always so thoroughly prepared?
[08:42] Shin
    Where I'm from, we have a saying:
    "Forewarned is forearmed."
[08:47] Rionne
    Wise words.
[08:48] Rionne
    But I wasn't expecting you
    to have so many items.
[08:52] Shin
    Well, you know. A friend gave them to me.
[08:55] Rionne
    Huh.
[08:57] Rionne
    So, I hate to ask when
    you've graciously lent this to me,
[09:00] Rionne
    but don't you have anything baggier?
[09:05] Rionne
    I mean, this is a little tight.
[09:08] Shin
    It is?
[09:10] Shin
    Oh, right...
[09:12] Rionne
    Hey! What are you looking at?
[09:14] Shin
    Uh, nothing.
[09:17] Shin
    Say, can you not use any magic skills?
[09:20] Rionne
    I can cast a few beginner-level spells.
[09:22] Rionne
    But surely they'd be useless
    against holy land monsters.
[09:27] Shin
    I guess so. Hold on.
[09:31] Shin
    Schnee, do you have a minute?
[09:33] Schnee
    Yes. What is it?
[09:35] Schnee
    An imitation enchantment?
[09:38] Shin
    Yeah. It's not as powerful
    since it doesn't use the regular method,
[09:41] Shin
    but it'll work as a stopgap measure.
[09:43] Shin
    I just wanted to make sure it'd be okay
    to teach the princess how to use it.
[09:49] Schnee
    Normally, I would stop you,
    but this is an emergency.
[09:53] Schnee
    You have no choice but to teach her
    as a method of self-defense.
[09:56] Shin
    You're right.
[09:58] Shin
    Okay.
[10:00] Shin
    I'm going to teach you some forgery.
[10:02] Rionne
    Forgery?
[10:04] Rionne
    Will that really be good enough?
[10:06] Shin
    Yeah. You'll see.
[10:08] Rionne
    In that case...
[10:10] Rionne
    Fire!
[10:18] Shin
    Here!
[10:23] Rionne
    It was burned?
[10:24] Shin
    That's an imitation enchantment.
[10:26] Shin
    In other words, a forgery
    of a real fire enchantment.
[10:28] Shin
    It'll quickly destroy any weapon
    that's not at least legendary,
[10:34] Shin
    but it's pretty useful even
    if you can't use specialized skills.
[10:37] Rionne
    Are you sure you should be teaching me
    something so valuable?
[10:42] Shin
    If such a skill were more widespread,
    fewer people would fall to monsters.
[10:46] Rionne
    I appreciate it, but still...
[10:48] Rionne
    You gave me this sword and refused a reward.
[10:52] Rionne
    I've done nothing but take.
    As royalty, it's humiliating.
[10:56] Shin
    Don't scowl at me like that.
[10:58] Shin
    You've acquired useful information.
[11:00] Shin
    Shouldn't that make you happy?
[11:03] Rionne
    Nevertheless, I dislike taking without giving.
[11:09] Shin
    Then in exchange, I have a request.
[11:13] Shin
    As royalty, please protect
    your kingdom and your people.
[11:17] Shin
    Everything you want to protect.
[11:21] Rionne
    Shin...
[11:23] Shin
    That's all I ask.
[11:27] Rionne
    Very well.
[11:28] Rionne
    I hear you.
[11:32] Shin/Id
    I managed to fool her,
[11:34] Shin/Id
    but imitation enchantments
    were actually an exploit in the game!
[11:38] Shin/Id
    But when she looks at me
    like that, what can I say?
[11:44] Shin
    We're almost there.
[11:46] Rionne
    Yeah.
[11:52] Rionne
    Hey, what's wrong?
[11:54] Shin
    I suddenly felt like I was being sucked in.
[11:58] Rionne
    I can't say I felt anything.
[12:00] Shin
    Really?
[12:01] Shin/Id
    Something inside the holy land's
    drawing me in?
[12:04] Shin/Id
    What could it be?
[12:07] Rionne
    Are you curious?
[12:08] Shin
    No. We can't head back
    into the heart of the city.
[12:12] Shin
    Let's keep going.
[12:17] Shin
    Is that a monster egg?
[12:19] Rionne
    No.
[12:20] Rionne
    Normally, when monsters are born,
[12:22] Rionne
    the environment is warped
    by the concentration of mana,
[12:25] Rionne
    and the monster breaks out
    from the proverbial "shell."
[12:28] Rionne
    I've never seen anything like this.
[12:31] Shin
    Which means it's no ordinary monster.
[12:35] Shin/Id
    Between this and that feeling earlier,
[12:37] Shin/Id
    it's like something doesn't want us to leave.
[12:44] Rionne
    Shin, it's emerging.
[12:50] Shin
    A griffin?
[12:58] Shin
    Is that... ice?
[13:03] Shin
    Not good.
[13:06] Shin
    Let's jump!
[13:10] Shin
    It froze? Seriously?
[13:17] Shin
    It instantly tried to mow
    us down with its breath.
[13:19] Shin
    Talk about ridiculous.
[13:21] Rionne
    U-Uh, Shin?
[13:24] Rionne
    Could you put me down now?
[13:26] Shin
    Oh, sorry. It was an emergency.
[13:29] Rionne
    I swear, you're unbelievable.
[13:33] Rionne
    So, what should we do?
[13:34] Rionne
    Just getting close to it will be difficult.
[13:37] Shin
    I'll act as a decoy.
    You strike it from behind.
[13:41] Rionne
    Will you be all right?
[13:42] Shin
    You can count on me.
[13:43] Shin
    I doubt it'll hit me,
    and even if it does, I can take it.
[13:47] Rionne
    Got it.
[13:56] Shin
    Hey, you frozen chicken! Over here!
[13:58] Shin
    What are you aiming for?!
[14:01] Shin/Id
    If I draw its attention,
    Rionne can try to catch it off guard.
[14:08] Shin
    Trick Throw!
[14:10] Rionne
    Where is he tossing those?
[14:16] Rionne
    Now's my chance!
[14:19] Rionne
    Tyrant Beat!
[14:24] Rionne
    All right!
[14:30] Rionne
    It only hit me with its wing,
    and yet it's still so powerful...
[14:33] Shin
    Nice one, Rionne!
[14:36] Shin
    If it's primarily ice, then how about this?
[14:39] Shin
    Flare Burst!
[14:46] Rionne
    Did you get it?
[14:47] Shin
    Yeah.
[14:49] Shin
    The opening you made let me
    nail it with one powerful blow.
[14:54] Shin
    Now we can leave the...
[15:01] Shin
    Seriously? It can heal itself?
[15:04] Shin
    I'm positive we defeated it.
[15:07] Rionne
    It didn't just heal itself.
    It completely regenerated.
[15:10] Rionne
    It's back to perfect health.
[15:15] Rionne
    How are we supposed to slay it?
[15:18] Shin
    Well...
[15:19] Shin
    Rionne, could you do me a favor?
[15:26] Rionne
    You want me to find the device
    to open the gate by myself?
[15:29] Shin
    Yeah.
[15:30] Shin
    I'll attack from the front
    and draw its attention again.
[15:34] Shin
    In the meantime, you examine
    the opening mechanism.
[15:37] Rionne
    And look for what?
[15:39] Shin
    Judging by its unusual regeneration,
[15:42] Shin
    it's probably a monster made by magic.
[15:45] Shin
    There's a spell somewhere
    regenerating the monster.
[15:51] Rionne
    And that spell has been applied
    to the opening mechanism?
[15:55] Shin
    It's just a possibility.
[15:57] Rionne
    Very well.
[15:58] Rionne
    If I can open the gate,
[16:00] Rionne
    we could also temporarily
    immobilize the griffin and escape.
[16:04] Shin
    It's an unknown monster.
[16:06] Shin
    It might keep chasing us
    even if we leave the dungeon.
[16:10] Shin
    But we'll roll with the punches!
[16:12] Rionne
    Still, will you be all right on your own?
[16:15] Shin
    I can handle it.
[16:16] Shin
    It's not my first time
    fighting something like this.
[16:19] Shin
    I'm counting on you!
[16:25] Shin/Id
    Sorry, Rionne. Honestly, it doesn't
    really matter if there's a spell or not.
[16:34] Shin
    No more restrictions.
[16:36] Shin
    It's time to go all out.
[16:40] Shin
    Limit Off.
[16:54] Shin
    I don't know how much of
    my power I can safely unleash,
[16:59] Shin
    but you'll make a good test subject.
[17:01] Shin
    Let's see who can hold out longer!
[17:10] Rionne
    Found it!
[17:15] Shin/Id
    I've defeated it thirty times,
    but it keeps coming back.
[17:20] Shin/Id
    Since it recovers from physical and magical
    damage, I'll have to try sealing it.
[17:27] Shin/Id
    What is that white sphere?
[17:33] Shin
    This is what I felt before...
[17:36] Shin
    Take this!
[17:41] Shin/Id
    It absorbed my attack?
[17:43] Shin/Id
    It's chancy to charge in
    without knowing what it is.
[17:48] Shin/Id
    But it's a chance I'll have to take.
[17:54] Shin/Id
    I'm being enveloped in golden light...
[17:58] Shin/Id
    The sucking feeling is gone.
[18:01] Shin
    I'll give it a shot.
[18:09] Shin/Id
    It stopped regenerating?
[18:12] Shin/Id
    I don't get it, but you're mine!
[18:19] Shin
    Flame Strike!
[18:28] Shin
    See you.
[18:36] Shin
    Just what was that?
[18:39] Rionne
    Shin!
[18:41] Rionne
    What was that explosion? Where's the griffin?
[18:44] Shin
    As you can see,
    I obliterated it without a trace.
[18:48] Shin
    How'd you do?
[18:53] Shin
    Thanks. Now we can say goodbye
    to this dungeon.
[18:57] Rionne
    Let's hurry out of here.
[19:00] Shin
    We're supposed to meet my companions in Valmer.
[19:03] Rionne
    Valmer is east of the Melt Mountains.
[19:07] Rionne
    If we head toward the mountains,
    we shouldn't get lost.
[19:14] Schnee
    So you safely escaped the holy land?
[19:17] Schnee
    I'm glad.
[19:18] Schnee
    And you'll be camping out tonight
    with the princess?
[19:21] Schnee
    Indeed, there's not much else you can do.
[19:25] Schnee
    What? I'm not mad.
[19:28] Schnee
    Goodbye.
[19:30] Tiera
    Master, what's the matter?
[19:33] Schnee
    Let's get moving.
[19:34] Tiera
    What? Already?
[19:36] Schnee
    Shimmer, can you go even faster?
[19:41] Schnee
    Then let us be off.
[19:43] Tiera
    Huh?
[19:49] Shin
    I'll keep watch first. Get some rest.
[19:52] Rionne
    Thanks.
[19:54] Shin
    Want some tea?
[19:56] Rionne
    A tent, clothes, and food...
[19:59] Rionne
    Don't you think you're a bit too prepared?
[20:02] Shin
    I was already all set to hit the road.
[20:05] Shin
    And with an item box,
    it's easy to travel light.
[20:09] Rionne
    An item box, huh?
[20:11] Rionne
    I wish my kingdom had someone like you.
[20:14] Shin
    Please ask someone else.
[20:16] Rionne
    You really won't do it?
[20:18] Shin
    No.
[20:19] Rionne
    No matter what?
[20:20] Shin
    No matter what.
[20:21] Rionne
    Can't you make an exception?
[20:23] Shin
    No! Stop rubbing up against me!
[20:28] Rionne
    Am I attractive enough to fluster you?
[20:32] Shin
    You mean you didn't do that on purpose?
[20:35] Rionne
    You really don't hold back, do you?
[20:38] Rionne
    But I prefer that.
[20:40] Shin
    Doesn't that just mean I'm rude?
[20:42] Rionne
    As royalty, I'm used to everyone
    treating me with respect.
[20:46] Rionne
    So I like talking to people like you.
[20:49] Rionne
    Honestly, it suits me much better.
[20:52] Shin
    What about your family?
[20:54] Rionne
    It's been a long time since we
    enjoyed each other's company.
[20:57] Rionne
    Maybe some part of me is
    looking for something to replace that.
[21:04] Shin
    Well, I don't mind talking to you whenever.
[21:06] Shin
    Hey, wait. Why are you snuggling up to me?
[21:10] Rionne
    Just while we're talking.
[21:12] Rionne
    Not bothered, are you?
[21:13] Shin
    We couldn't let anyone at the castle see this.
[21:16] Rionne
    No. It's been a while since I haven't
    had eyes on me outside of battle.
[21:21] Rionne
    It's been a really long time...
[21:24] Shin
    Sheesh. Just for now, okay?
[21:28] Rionne
    You're warm.
[21:31] Shin
    Are you cold?
[21:32] Rionne
    That's not what I meant.
[21:47] Rionne
    Shin?
[21:50] Rionne
    Smoke?
[21:52] Shin
    It's monsters.
[21:53] Shin
    An absurd number of them have formed a horde.
[21:56] Shin
    Not only that,
    but they're headed toward Valmer.
[21:59] Rionne
    What?!
