[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.

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

[21:21] Rionne

[21:28] Rionne

[21:31] Shin

[21:32] Rionne

[21:47] Rionne

[21:50] Rionne

[21:56] Shin
Not only that,
