**[00:02] Naofumi**
After overcoming the worst of the Waves,
**[00:04] Naofumi**
I was rewarded and became ruler of
Lurolona Village, Raphtalia's home.
**[00:11] Naofumi**
We began to rebuild the village,
and new allies joined us.
**[00:14] Naofumi**
Things are going well.
**[00:17] Naofumi**
When the next Wave comes,
the people I've met in this world...
**[00:20] Naofumi**
I have to...
**[00:24] Naofumi**
Be careful.
**[00:25] Mom**
Sorry, my lord!
**[00:27] Mom**
Let's go!
**[00:33] Grandma**
Come on, let your ki build up
right in the pit of your stomach.
**[00:36] Rishia**
L-Like this?
**[00:39] Grandma**
That's right!
**[00:40] Grandma**
I knew you had the knack!
**[00:42] Grandma**
The day you become a full master of
Hengen Muso is not far off at all!
**[00:47] Rishia**
Really?
**[00:49] Keel**
I don't know what this "ki" stuff is.
**[00:54] Keel**
Shield-oniichan!
**[00:56] Grandma**
Oh, it's the Saint!
**[00:58] Naofumi**
You seem like you're working hard, Keel.
**[01:00] Keel**
Of course.
**[01:03] Naofumi**
Hey, don't spoil Rishia too much.
**[01:07] Naofumi**
Her base stats are too low for her level.
**[01:11] Grandma**
True, but...
***SIGN*** Pekkul Kigurumi
**[01:15] Naofumi**
The costume works pretty well,
**[01:19] Naofumi**
but she can't just rely on that.
**[01:23] Rishia**
I-I know...
**[01:26] Rishia**
But when I wear it, nobody can
see when I'm feeling down.
**[01:29] Rishia**
So I can try harder, I guess.
**[01:33] Grandma**
But she's also a master
at manipulating her ki.
**[01:38] Grandma**
We need to strengthen that ability.
**[01:42] Grandma**
The concepts of that whatever-muso
you use don't really exist in this world.
**[01:51] Keel**
Hey, Instructor! Can I fight
the Waves with the others?
**[01:55] Grandma**
Nope.
**[01:57] Grandma**
There's not even another
week until the next Wave.
**[01:59] Grandma**
That's not quite enough time for a wimp
like you to learn to really fight.
**[02:06] Keel**
Damn it!
**[02:07] Keel**
Okay, the Wave after that, then!
**[02:08] Keel**
Help me train even more until it comes!
**[02:12] Grandma**
That's the spirit.
**[02:13] Grandma**
But if you want to learn how to use
a sword, don't just learn from me.
**[02:18] Grandma**
What's that?
**[02:20] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[02:23] Keel**
Wait! I'll go, too!
**[02:38] Child**
Thank you!
**[02:39] Filo**
Just hang on a second, okay?
**[02:42] Child**
Yeah!
**[03:00] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Filo!
**[03:02] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[03:03] Filo**
Master!
**[03:05] Grandma**
Looks like there's nothing for me to do.
**[03:08] Naofumi**
I guess not.
**[03:12] Keel**
What are these things?

**[03:38] Raphtalia**
What's wrong?
**[03:40] Naofumi**
It's stopped.
**[03:41] Grandma**
What?
**[03:42] Naofumi**
And this blue number...
**[03:45] Grandma**
What happened?
**[03:47] Naofumi**
I don't know.

**[04:16] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san?
**[04:23] Raphtalia**
The party Rishia-san used to be in...
**[04:35] Queen**
Thank you for answering
my sudden call, Heroes.
**[04:41] Queen**
I had you come here to discuss
an important matter.
**[04:45] Ren**
The bat monsters?
**[04:47] Motoyasu**
Oh, those creepy things.
**[04:50] Itsuki**
You found them too, huh?
**[04:53] Naofumi**
You know something about them?
**[04:56] Itsuki**
I'd never seen them before.
**[04:59] Motoyasu**
They didn't seem to be dimensional
monsters from a Wave, either.
**[05:03] Naofumi**
Yeah, about that.
The Wave countdown stopped—
**[05:07] Queen**
So it's true, then.
**[05:10] Naofumi**
What do you mean?
**[05:12] Queen**
The legendary monster
called the Spirit Tortoise
**[05:16] Queen**
has revived within the kingdom that bears
its name, the Spirit Tortoise Kingdom.
**[05:21] Naofumi**
Spirit Tortoise?
**[05:22] Queen**
It's said to bring horrific disaster
to the world once every few centuries.
**[05:29] Queen**
We believe that the monsters you heroes
encountered are an effect of its revival.
**[05:35] Naofumi**
Horrific disaster... Sounds like the Waves.
**[05:40] Ren**
Sorry, I remembered something I have to do.
**[05:42] Motoyasu**
Me, too.
**[05:43] Itsuki**
Sorry. We're busy people.
**[05:46] Naofumi**
Hey!
**[05:47] Motoyasu**
We were summoned to another
world to fight the Waves.
**[05:53] Motoyasu**
We don't have time to deal with any
other problems you might have.
**[05:55] Motoyasu**
Right, Naofumi?
**[06:10] Soldier**
Ren-sama.
**[06:12] Ren**
Let's go.
**[06:12] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama, did you ask Mom
to make me a princess again?
**[06:18] Motoyasu**
I'm sorry My—
**[06:20] Motoyasu**
Slut.
**[06:21] Motoyasu**
I've got bigger problems.
**[06:23] Motoyasu**
Let's go.
**[06:24] Myne**
Hey—
**[06:25] Myne**
Motoyasu-sama!
**[06:27] Myne**
Useless fool.
**[06:34] Itsuki**
You seem to be doing well.
**[06:36] Rishia**
Um, Itsuki-san...
**[06:38] Itsuki**
Are you talking with your parents?
**[06:42] Rishia**
Y-Yes!
**[06:43] Rishia**
I sent a... letter.
**[06:47] Itsuki**
I see.
**[07:00] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[07:02] Rishia**
I-I want to join you on your
journey to save the world!
**[07:06] Itsuki**
You're not strong enough.
**[07:08] Itsuki**
You won't be, no matter how much
Naofumi-san trains you.
**[07:16] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[07:20] Mald**
Why do you think Itsuki-sama
banished you from the party?
**[07:24] Mald**
To keep you away from
the dangers of the battlefield?
**[07:28] Mald**
No, because you're weak,
and slow, and useless!
**[07:35] Itsuki**
Mald-san, that's enough.
**[07:43] Filo**
Rishia-oneechan, are you okay?
**[07:54] Naofumi**
You okay with this?
**[07:55] Naofumi**
You called me and the others here to handle
this Spirit Tortoise thing, right?
**[08:01] Queen**
From the look of it,
I didn't even need to ask.
**[08:06] Naofumi**
Sure.
**[08:07] Naofumi**
There was probably a similar event
in one of the games they played.
**[08:11] Naofumi**
No, don't worry about it.
**[08:14] Queen**
So, will you accept this job?
**[08:19] Naofumi**
If you don't mind me focusing on
this instead of my job as a hero.
**[08:24] Queen**
The Spirit Tortoise Kingdom is a big place,
**[08:27] Queen**
but the Tortoise has already destroyed
several territories
**[08:30] Queen**
and important checkpoints as it heads
for the capital. Many have died.
**[08:35] Queen**
It's located far to the east,
**[08:39] Queen**
but it won't be long before
it reaches us here in Melromarc.
**[08:44] Queen**
When that happens, it will likely
pass through your own lands.
**[08:50] Naofumi**
You always know how to persuade people.
**[08:54] Queen**
Is Melty doing well?
**[08:56] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[08:57] Naofumi**
She's in charge of observing
what happens in my territory.
**[09:01] Naofumi**
She was saying she wanted the place to be
a bridge between humans and demihumans.
**[09:07] Naofumi**
And then, if you can believe this,
**[09:09] Naofumi**
she told me to leave the
place to her and go see you.
**[09:12] Queen**
It seems the journey she went on with
you was a great experience for her.
**[09:19] Naofumi**
Yes.
**[09:21] Naofumi**
For the sake of her dreams, and my lands,
**[09:25] Naofumi**
I'll fight the Tortoise for you.
**[09:27] Queen**
Really?
**[09:30] Queen**
Shield Hero, you're truly...
**[09:35] Naofumi**
With the Wave countdown stopped,
it feels safe to focus on this.
**[09:40] Queen**
The countdown stopping is
also concerning, though.
**[09:43] Naofumi**
I'll look into it when I get a chance.
**[09:45] Naofumi**
So, do we go fight it ourselves?
**[09:50] Queen**
We should talk about that.
**[09:56] Elhart**
I see. You're going to fight
the Tortoise too, huh?
**[10:00] Naofumi**
You hear things fast.
**[10:02] Naofumi**
Who told you?
**[10:04] Elhart**
The whole country's talking about it.
**[10:07] Elhart**
Melromarc is sending its knights,
and joining with other nations to fight it.
**[10:12] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[10:13] Naofumi**
The Cardinal Heroes were told to go ahead of
the main army and do reconnaissance in force.
**[10:19] Elhart**
Our queen is always spoiling for a fight.
**[10:23] Naofumi**
You've got that right.
**[10:24] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san, how about this?
**[10:28] Rishia**
I use magic more than swords...
**[10:33] Rishia**
But no matter what I do, I'm a failure.
**[10:37] Raphtalia**
But...
**[10:40] Filo**
Rishia-oneechan, are you a failure?
**[10:44] Rishia**
Yes. I'm a failure.
**[10:47] Naofumi**
At least you can hold a weapon.
**[10:51] Rishia**
I'm sorry.
**[10:58] Elhart**
Sheesh. You guys are gloomy.
**[11:03] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san!
**[11:05] Rishia**
Yes?
**[11:06] Raphtalia**
I have a great idea!
**[11:13] Rishia**
Um, Raphtalia-san, is this...
**[11:16] Raphtalia**
Don't worry. It's not scary.
**[11:30] Slave Merchant**
Oh, you're the Shield Hero's...
**[11:35] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san, why don't you
try becoming a slave?
**[11:38] Rishia**
Slave?
**[11:42] Raphtalia**
If you become Naofumi-san's slave,
**[11:44] Raphtalia**
the Shield Hero's power will
make you much stronger!
**[11:50] Rishia**
But...
**[11:52] Raphtalia**
You'll instantly become much stronger
than the Bow Hero's followers!
**[11:57] Raphtalia**
Now take that off and show me your chest!
**[12:00] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[12:01] Raphtalia**
Yes?
**[12:03] Naofumi**
I'm not going to force anybody
else to be my slave.
**[12:09] Raphtalia**
I'm sorry.
**[12:10] Raphtalia**
I just thought Rishia-san
could be like me, and...
**[12:16] Naofumi**
If she wanted to, it would
be a different matter.
**[12:19] Naofumi**
But you're the only person in the world
who would ever volunteer to be a slave.
**[12:21] Raphtalia**
Yeah.
**[12:23] Naofumi**
You haven't changed your mind on that, huh?
**[12:25] Naofumi**
No, never mind.
**[12:26] Raphtalia**
What?
**[12:27] Slave Merchant**
Um, so what is it that I can do for you?
**[12:30] Naofumi**
Sorry. We don't really...
**[12:33] Rishia**
Make me...
**[12:34] Rishia**
Make me your slave, Naofumi-san!
**[12:37] Rishia**
I want to be a slave of the Shield Hero!
**[12:51] Slave Merchant**
Excuse me.
**[13:04] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san...
**[13:06] Filo**
Onee-chan...
**[13:14] Slave Merchant**
Okay, now you're the slave
of the Shield Hero!
**[13:19] Naofumi**
Sheesh...
**[13:20] Naofumi**
Normally, you can never make
your mind up about anything.
**[13:22] Naofumi**
But you didn't waste time thinking
about your decision on this.

**[13:27] Naofumi**
You want Itsuki's respect that badly?
**[13:31] Rishia**
Yes.
**[13:32] Rishia**
That's why I'm having you train me.
**[13:36] Naofumi**
I see.
**[13:37] Naofumi**
Then I won't say another word.
**[13:39] Naofumi**
You want hard training, you'll get it.
**[13:43] Naofumi**
And stop making that noise.
**[13:45] Rishia**
Fweh? No, I mean...
**[13:48] Rishia**
O-Okay!
**[13:49] Rishia**
Thank you!
**[13:53] Naofumi**
Okay, let's head back and get ready.
**[13:55] Naofumi**
We'll be leaving for the
Spirit Tortoise Kingdom in the morning.
**[13:59] Raphtalia & Rishia**
Okay!
**[14:00] Filo**
I'm hungry!
**[15:44] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, those people...
**[15:48] Naofumi**
Refugees from the Spirit Tortoise Kingdom.
**[15:50] Raphtalia**
Which means it's getting bad there, huh?
**[15:54] Naofumi**
Maybe.
**[15:56] Filo**
Master?
**[15:58] Filo**
He's here.
**[16:00] Filo**
We're heading to the Spirit Tortoise
Kingdom, far to the east!
**[16:06] Filo**
Okay, I'll ask.
**[16:08] Filo**
Master, Fitoria wants to know if
you're going to the Spirit Tortoise.
**[16:15] Naofumi**
Fitoria?
**[16:17] Raphtalia**
Filo, are you talking to Fitoria-san?
**[16:19] Filo**
Yeah.
**[16:21] Filo**
Um, I can hear her.
**[16:23] Naofumi**
So that little hair that sticks
out is an antenna or something?
**[16:27] Fitoria**
I see.
**[16:28] Fitoria**
Then tell the Shield Hero that this
is the choice I spoke of before.
**[16:34] Fitoria**
If the Four Heroes still
can't work together...
**[16:37] Filo & Fitoria**
Then you should do something
about the Spirit Tortoise,
**[16:40] Filo & Fitoria**
she says!
**[16:41] Naofumi**
The choice...
**[16:43] Naofumi**
"The world demands
sacrifices from all life," huh?
**[16:46] Naofumi**
What's that got to do with
the Spirit Tortoise?
**[16:49] Filo**
She says don't ask her.
**[16:50] Filo**
Think about it yourself, she says.
**[16:53] Naofumi**
She's mad.
**[16:55] Rishia**
Um, what is she talking about?
**[16:58] Filo**
Um, if Master and the other guys,
like the Spear guy, can't get along...
**[17:03] Naofumi**
We'll be killed by Fitoria,
the Filolial Queen.
**[17:08] Rishia**
Th-Th-Th-That...
**[17:10] Rishia**
Includes Itsuki-sama?
**[17:19] Naofumi**
We'll just have to go to
the Spirit Tortoise Kingdom, I guess.
**[17:37] Man**
Did you hear?
**[17:39] Man**
The capital's already under
attack by the Spirit Tortoise.
**[17:41] Mystery Man**
Seriously? It'll be here soon, then.
**[17:45] Man**
But they say that several nations have
banded together to fight it, right?
**[17:50] Man**
They say even the Four Heroes are coming.
**[17:54] Mystery Man**
That's the thing! The heroes!
**[17:56] Mystery Man**
They tried to fight it and
three of the four died!
**[18:00] Man**
Really?
**[18:01] Mystery Man**
What are they going to
do about the Waves now?
**[18:06] Mystery Man**
Sheesh... both the heroes and the
ones who summoned them are morons.
**[18:10] Traveler**
Yeah... it's pretty bad.
**[18:11] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[18:12] Naofumi**
Hey!
**[18:13] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san?
**[18:17] Naofumi**
Follow her, Filo!
**[18:19] Filo**
Right!
**[18:24] Naofumi**
Wait!
**[18:31] Naofumi**
There's no point in running off
without a clue where you're going.
**[18:34] Rishia**
But... But Itsuki-sama...
**[18:40] Naofumi**
Calm down, Rishia.
**[18:42] Naofumi**
Filo, can you talk to Fitoria?
**[18:46] Filo**
Yeah. I can.
**[18:48] Naofumi**
I don't know if she'll be able to tell,
**[18:51] Naofumi**
but ask if any of the current
Four Heroes have been killed.
**[19:00] Filo**
Um, she says no.
**[19:03] Naofumi**
You heard her.
**[19:05] Naofumi**
So calm down.
**[19:08] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san...
**[19:09] Naofumi**
I don't want to lose any of
the other heroes myself.
**[19:13] Naofumi**
Let's ask around and find out where...
**[19:19] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, over there, too!
**[19:22] Naofumi**
What?
**[19:23] Naofumi**
What are those things?
**[19:30] Naofumi**
Toward the checkpoint?
**[19:36] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, Filo, follow me!
**[19:38] Naofumi**
Rishia, get the people to town!
**[19:40] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[19:40] Filo**
'Kay!
**[19:42] Rishia**
O-Okay!
**[19:45] Naofumi**
Shield Prison!
**[19:52] Filo**
Spiral Strike!
**[19:58] Rishia**
This way, everyone! Hurry!
**[19:59] Rishia**
It's still safe in town!
**[20:02] Naofumi**
Go!
**[20:03] Townspeople**
Okay!
**[20:07] Naofumi**
Filo, use magic over there!
**[20:09] Filo**
Okay! Drifa Tornado!
**[20:15] Naofumi**
Get the ones who couldn't
make it out in time!
**[20:17] Naofumi**
I'll handle this!
**[20:18] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[20:19] Filo**
Okay!
**[20:20] Naofumi**
Hate Reaction!
**[20:28] Naofumi**
Come on!
**[20:30] Naofumi**
Tornado Shield!
**[20:33] Raphtalia**
He did it!
**[20:38] Naofumi**
Okay.
**[20:39] Naofumi**
That's most of them.
**[20:45] Naofumi**
Crap!
**[20:46] Naofumi**
There are way more than before!
**[20:48] Naofumi**
Wrath Shield!
**[20:55] Rishia**
That's...
**[20:59] Raphtalia**
Get down!
**[21:07] Naofumi**
Dark Curse Burning!
**[21:27] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[21:29] Filo**
Master!
**[21:30] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[21:34] Naofumi**
Sorry...
**[21:39] Naofumi**
I'm just fine.
**[21:41] Raphtalia**
Don't lie to me.
**[21:44] Naofumi**
You can tell, huh?
**[21:49] Ost**
You are the Shield Hero, I presume?
**[21:54] Naofumi**
Yeah. Why?
**[21:56] Ost**
I thought so.
**[21:58] Ost**
Please,
**[22:00] Ost**
kill me.

**[00:40] Ost**
I thought so.
**[00:42] Ost**
Please, kill me.
**[00:46] Naofumi**
What?
**[00:54] Naofumi**
She disappeared?
**[00:55] Raphtalia**
I don't see her anywhere, yeah.
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Episode 2 Footprints of the Spirit Tortoise
**[02:31] Mirelia**
Tell me what we're looking at.
**[02:34] Haikazuya Officer**
After the Spirit Tortoise
destroyed the capital,
**[02:37] Haikazuya Officer**
it headed toward this border
town before shutting down.
**[02:41] Haikazuya Officer**
If the legends are correct, it will remain
in that state for two or three days.
**[02:46] Mideus Officer**
It destroyed this nation's capital,
**[02:48] Mideus Officer**
took the lives of the royal family and many
of its people, and now it's taking a nap?
**[02:53] Mideus Officer**
Accursed creature!
**[02:55] Mirelia**
Legends say that the Spirit Tortoise
mostly attacks densely populated areas.
**[03:01] Mirelia**
Its next target would be Lowhirot,
**[03:05] Mirelia**
and this was merely a stop along its way.
**[03:08] Lowhirot Officer**
The Spirit Tortoise can't afford to ignore
a force as large as the one we've amassed.
**[03:13] Naofumi**
So, how are we going to
destroy something that size?
**[03:18] Mideus Officer**
The Shield Hero?
**[03:20] Mirelia**
If the Queen's right, we've got
two or three days at most.
**[03:24] Mirelia**
We have to come up with a plan and
get ready before it wakes up.
**[03:27] Mirelia**
There's not much time.
**[03:29] Haikazuya Officer**
Get ready? That won't take long at all!
**[03:32] Haikazuya Officer**
We have brave knights and soldiers
from every kingdom in the land!
**[03:36] Haikazuya Officer**
If we charge at it with banners
raised high, it won't stand a chance!
**[03:40] Mideus Officer**
Indeed.
**[03:42] Lowhirot Officer**
We don't need the help of the Four Heroes!
**[03:44] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
You will fail!
**[03:46] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
We threw thousands, tens of thousands of our
most loyal troops at that walking fortress,
**[03:51] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
and they couldn't stop it!
**[03:55] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
Defeating the Spirit Tortoise by
conventional means is impossible!
**[04:00] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
We need the help of the Four Heroes.
**[04:08] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[04:11] Naofumi**
I know.
**[04:12] Naofumi**
But don't get any dumb ideas about
dying gloriously in battle.
**[04:16] Naofumi**
I want to minimize casualties.
**[04:18] Naofumi**
Otherwise it'll interfere with our
real job, which is to fight the Waves.
**[04:22] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, you didn't need to say that.
**[04:27] Mirelia**
Then let us come up with a plan for the
allied armies to defeat the Spirit Tortoise.
**[04:39] Grandma**
Oh, if it isn't my student Rishia!
**[04:42] Grandma**
There you are.
**[04:44] Filo**
Eclair-oneechan!
**[04:46] Rishia**
Instructor!
**[04:47] Rishia**
What are you doing here?
**[04:49] Grandma**
I heard that the Saint is going to
fight one of the legendary monsters.
**[04:53] Grandma**
So I came to help him as soon as we could.
**[04:57] Eclair**
Likewise.
**[04:58] Eclair**
This is a threat to my nation
that rivals the Waves.
**[05:02] Eclair**
I'm sorry for not doing my
duty for Iwatani-dono,
**[05:04] Eclair**
but I stopped training the
soldiers and hurried here.
**[05:07] Rishia**
I see.
**[05:09] Eclair**
So, where is he?
**[05:12] Rishia**
Um... in that building?
**[05:15] Rishia**
Something about coming up with a
plan to defeat the Spirit Tortoise?
**[05:17] Filo**
It's not fair that Raphtalia-oneechan is
the only one that gets to go with him!
**[05:21] Filo**
I'm hungry!
**[05:24] Eclair**
So the Queen's with him, then?
**[05:29] Rishia**
We saw her before...
**[05:31] Eclair**
Isn't that...
**[05:36] Mideus Officer**
I'd like to hear what the
Shield Hero thinks, but...
**[05:41] Mideus Officer**
What of the Seven Star Heroes?
**[05:45] Lowhirot Officer**
They've left their countries and are
on their way, but some are far off.
**[05:50] Lowhirot Officer**
They may not make it in time.
**[05:52] Naofumi**
Seven Star Heroes?
**[05:54] Mirelia**
Seven heroes who use vassal weapons,
different than the Four Cardinal Heroes.
**[06:00] Mirelia**
Some of them were, like you,
summoned from another world.
**[06:05] Mirelia**
And some of them were
chosen from this world.
**[06:07] Naofumi**
Vassal weapons...
**[06:12] Naofumi**
So there are other heroes besides us?
**[06:15] Naofumi**
Are they strong?
**[06:18] Mirelia**
To be perfectly honest,
**[06:19] Mirelia**
they are likely weaker than you
and the other heroes are now.
**[06:23] Naofumi**
So better than nothing, I guess.
**[06:27] Naofumi**
So? Where are these Seven Star Heroes?
**[06:31] Mirelia**
Well...
**[06:32] Ost**
Excuse me.
**[06:34] Mirelia**
You're...
**[06:36] Ost**
It's been many years since
we've met, Queen of Melromarc.
**[06:39] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, that's...
**[06:42] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[06:43] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
My lady! I'm so glad you're safe...
**[06:46] Naofumi**
"My lady"?
**[06:47] Mirelia**
She is the concubine of the now-deceased
King of the Spirit Tortoise Kingdom,
**[06:51] Mirelia**
and the nation's regent!
**[06:54] Ost**
I didn't give you my name when
we met the other day, did I,
**[06:57] Ost**
Shield Hero?
**[06:59] Ost**
Allow me to introduce myself properly.
**[07:01] Ost**
I am Ost Hourai.
**[07:05] Naofumi**
Ost Hourai?
**[07:08] Ost**
Yes.
**[07:09] Ost**
The king's concubine, and regent.
**[07:12] Ost**
But that's just what the world thinks I am.
**[07:17] Ost**
In fact, I am a familiar
of the Spirit Tortoise.
**[07:22] Naofumi**
What?
**[07:25] Ost**
You've met other familiars of
the Spirit Tortoise, I believe.
**[07:32] Naofumi**
Don't tell me...
**[07:34] Naofumi**
You're the same as those bats and yetis? You?
**[07:39] Ost**
Yes. I take the form of a human. That's all.
**[07:44] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
What are you saying, my lady?
**[07:47] Ost**
Sorry.
**[07:48] Ost**
Everything you knew was a lie.
**[07:51] Ost**
My job as a human-type familiar was
to get close to the center of power
**[07:58] Ost**
and use subterfuge to gather
a minimum number of souls.
**[08:03] Naofumi**
Wait.
**[08:03] Naofumi**
What the hell are you talking about?
**[08:06] Naofumi**
Gather souls? What do you mean?
**[08:09] Ost**
The task of my lord and creator,
the Spirit Tortoise,
**[08:13] Ost**
is to block the Waves of
Calamity from appearing,
**[08:16] Ost**
using souls as a resource.
**[08:20] Naofumi**
Block the Waves from appearing?
**[08:23] Ost**
Yes.
**[08:26] Ost**
Human-type familiars such as myself were
tasked with deceiving the powerful,
**[08:30] Ost**
forcing countries to fight
so we could gather souls.
**[08:35] Ost**
And if that failed,
**[08:37] Ost**
monster familiars would be used to gather
the souls gradually from all over the world.
**[08:42] Ost**
And if that failed, as a last resort,
**[08:47] Ost**
the seal on the Spirit Tortoise
itself would be broken,
**[08:50] Ost**
and it would stalk the world itself,
gathering countless souls at once.
**[08:58] Ost**
But this time, someone broke
the seal without any warning,
**[09:02] Ost**
and the Spirit Tortoise is committing
destruction not of its own volition.
**[09:06] Ost**
Even if it can stop the Waves, there'll be
no world left when it's through.
**[09:13] Ost**
And I will not be able to fulfill my duty.
**[09:16] Ost**
Shield Hero, please destroy
my creator, the Spirit Tortoise.
**[09:23] Naofumi**
You said someone broke the seal.
**[09:27] Naofumi**
Can anybody break it?
**[09:29] Ost**
Only I know the method, or should know.
**[09:32] Ost**
The duty of a human-type familiar was to tell
the Four Heroes how to break the seal,
**[09:38] Ost**
should they ever discover
our plans and defeat us.
**[09:42] Naofumi**
What? Why would you tell us that?
**[09:47] Ost**
When protecting the world from the
Waves is no longer possible,
**[09:50] Ost**
it is the task of the Four Cardinal
Heroes to revive the Spirit Tortoise
**[09:56] Ost**
and gather souls to stop
them from appearing.
**[10:04] Naofumi**
"The world demands
sacrifices from all life."
**[10:09] Naofumi**
Is that what you meant, Fitoria?
**[10:12] Mirelia**
If that's true, then...
**[10:15] Mirelia**
What a terrible trial fate has
set out for us and the heroes.
**[10:21] Ost**
Um... I'm sorry.
**[10:24] Mirelia**
Ost Hourai, it's more unbelievable
to me that you're not human.
**[10:33] Ost**
I'm sorry.
**[10:34] Ost**
It was my duty.
**[10:35] Ost**
I wanted to look the part, so I played
the role of an, uh... evil consort?
**[10:43] Naofumi**
Right now, the Spirit Tortoise is out there
even though its real self doesn't want to be.
**[10:47] Naofumi**
Right?
**[10:48] Ost**
Yes.
**[10:49] Ost**
I believe the one who broke
the seal is controlling it.
**[10:53] Naofumi**
You're just a familiar.
As such, what can you do?
**[10:57] Naofumi**
You didn't just come here to
ask us to defeat it, did you?
**[11:01] Ost**
Of course, I'll provide what advice I can to
help you find the one behind this and stop it.
**[11:09] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise's role is to gather souls,
so it heads to densely populated areas.
**[11:16] Ost**
So this would be its next target.
**[11:20] Mirelia**
That was in the legends, so... um...
**[11:25] Naofumi**
Anything else?
**[11:26] Ost**
Um...
**[11:29] Ost**
The head! Yes, the head!
**[11:32] Ost**
If you cut off its head, you can stop it!
**[11:36] Naofumi**
Yeah, most monsters die if
you cut off their heads.
**[11:39] Haikazuya Officer**
This is ridiculous!
**[11:42] Haikazuya Officer**
This war council is a sacred place!
Are you mocking it?
**[11:45] Haikazuya Officer**
If you are, then I'll take
off your head first!
**[11:48] Haikazuya Officer**
If we're lucky, that will get
rid of the Spirit Tortoise, too!
**[11:51] Ost**
That... That's impossible.
**[11:54] Ost**
If you don't defeat the
Spirit Tortoise itself,
**[11:56] Ost**
no matter how many times you
kill me, I'll just come back.
**[12:02] Mideus Officer**
Calm down.
**[12:03] Mideus Officer**
We know how to defeat it.
**[12:06] Mideus Officer**
Now we just need a plan to do it.
**[12:09] Mideus Officer**
What's more important now is...
**[12:11] Lowhirot Officer**
That's right.
**[12:12] Lowhirot Officer**
Who takes command?
**[12:15] Naofumi**
What?
**[12:16] Haikazuya Officer**
Of course, we're providing the bulk
of the corps, so we'll take command.
**[12:21] Lowhirot Officer**
What?
**[12:22] Lowhirot Officer**
You'll need siege weapons
to take the Tortoise's head.
**[12:26] Lowhirot Officer**
And my nation has the most!
**[12:29] Mideus Officer**
But Melromarc is providing
the majority of the funding.
**[12:34] Mideus Officer**
And they sent the Shield Hero, too.
**[12:38] Mirelia**
That's not the issue right now.
**[12:40] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
That's right!
**[12:41] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
It doesn't matter who takes command!
**[12:44] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
But I want our battalion to take
the vanguard of the charge!
**[12:50] Haikazuya Officer**
What can one battalion do in a charge?
**[12:53] Lowhirot Officer**
That's right! You stay in the rear!
**[12:56] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
But we need to avenge our dead!
**[12:59] Haikazuya Officer**
By dying for nothing?
**[13:00] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
If that brings victory,
then we'll die gladly!
**[13:02] Naofumi**
Enough!
**[13:04] Naofumi**
I could not give less of a shit.
**[13:06] Naofumi**
You can talk about crap when
you're fighting other humans.
**[13:14] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
You may be the Shield Hero,
but that doesn't give you the right.
**[13:17] Naofumi**
If you've got a plan that will take down the
Spirit Tortoise with minimal casualties,
**[13:20] Naofumi**
I'll take anybody's orders, or if you
need me to, I'll give the orders myself.
**[13:24] Naofumi**
But if you're going to sit here thinking
about who gets the credit instead, I'm out.
**[13:31] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
Wha—
**[13:32] Naofumi**
But I'll defeat the Spirit Tortoise.
Me and my comrades,
**[13:35] Naofumi**
to protect my territory.
**[13:38] Naofumi**
You guys can sit here and talk.
**[14:02] Eclair**
It ended without an agreement?
**[14:05] Eclair**
What the hell is Iwatani-dono doing?
**[14:08] Grandma**
We fight alone, then?
**[14:10] Grandma**
That sounds like the Saint.
**[14:12] Eclair**
It's not a good thing!
**[14:14] Eclair**
How can we defeat something
that size all by ourselves?
**[14:19] Ost**
I'm sorry...
**[14:21] Ost**
If only I'd tried to be more mysterious.
**[14:28] Ost**
Um, may I ask you to introduce yourselves?
**[14:33] Raphtalia**
Oh, of course!
**[14:35] Raphtalia**
I never did give my name, did I?
**[14:38] Raphtalia**
I'm Raphtalia.
**[14:40] Raphtalia**
And this...
**[14:41] Filo**
My name's Filo!
**[14:44] Rishia**
R-Rishia Ivyred.
**[14:47] Grandma**
Elrasla Grilaroc, heir to Hengen Muso.
**[14:52] Eclair**
Eclair Seyaette, present lord
of the territories of Seyaette.
**[14:56] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama is ruler of a demi-human
area in Seyaette.
**[15:03] Raphtalia**
Eclair-san volunteered to train the
demi-humans in how to use a sword.
**[15:10] Raphtalia**
She's been training Rishia-san
and myself, too.
**[15:15] Ost**
Oh my. That's wonderful.
**[15:18] Eclair**
My father died in the first Wave,
**[15:20] Eclair**
and I wanted to atone for his
failure to protect their village.
**[15:26] Eclair**
Of course, I don't think
it'll forgive anything.
**[15:30] Raphtalia**
No... You've done your best.
**[15:34] Raphtalia**
I'm much better with my sword now!
**[15:38] Raphtalia**
I'm really grateful!
**[15:40] Rishia**
Me, too!
**[15:42] Eclair**
It makes me happy to hear you say that.
**[15:45] Ost**
Oh, sorry.
**[15:47] Ost**
I need to give my name, too.
**[15:50] Eclair**
Regent of Spirit Tortoise Kingdom, Ost Hourai.
**[15:52] Eclair**
I've heard of you.
**[15:54] Ost**
Oh, that's a lie.
**[15:56] Grandma**
A lie?
**[15:58] Ost**
It's a long story, actually.
**[16:07] Raphtalia**
You're not cold?
**[16:11] Raphtalia**
It gets chilly at night in this area.
**[16:14] Naofumi**
Yeah, I'm fine.
**[16:17] Raphtalia**
It's a pretty town, isn't it?
**[16:19] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[16:21] Raphtalia**
If it weren't for what happened, the lights
in the houses would make it even prettier.
**[16:26] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[16:29] Raphtalia**
Will this town be destroyed, too?
**[16:32] Raphtalia**
By a disaster besides one of the Waves.
**[16:35] Naofumi**
At this rate, yes.
**[16:38] Raphtalia**
Is there any way to protect it?
**[16:40] Naofumi**
Well...
**[16:42] Raphtalia**
I'm really happy that our village
is so important to you.
**[16:47] Raphtalia**
But I don't want you thinking
it's all that matters.
**[16:52] Raphtalia**
You'll probably disagree,
**[16:55] Raphtalia**
but I don't think those
generals are bad people.
**[16:59] Raphtalia**
At the bottom of their hearts,
they just want to protect their homes.
**[17:04] Raphtalia**
You feel the same, right?
**[17:09] Raphtalia**
You said you'd be willing to take command
if there was a good plan, right?
**[17:15] Raphtalia**
Let's think of one!
**[17:17] Raphtalia**
With Filo and Rishia-san and the Queen.
**[17:21] Raphtalia**
Let's show them a plan they won't be
able to complain about in the least!
**[17:26] Raphtalia**
And then everyone will listen to you!
**[17:29] Raphtalia**
Because you're the Shield Hero!
**[17:37] Naofumi**
Sheesh...
**[17:40] Naofumi**
If the Spirit Tortoise goes to
where there are lots of souls,
**[17:44] Naofumi**
we don't need to stay in town and wait.
**[17:47] Naofumi**
Use numbers to lure it out,
**[17:49] Naofumi**
and then find some way to pin it down.
**[17:52] Naofumi**
You don't need to defeat it.
**[17:54] Naofumi**
We'll take care of the rest.
**[17:56] Haikazuya Officer**
My nation of Haikazuya will provide a
dragon rider battalion to serve as a decoy.
**[18:00] Haikazuya Officer**
Cavalry, heavy troops, archers...
**[18:03] Haikazuya Officer**
We are the strongest nation in the land.
**[18:07] Naofumi**
As for pinning it down...
**[18:08] Lowhirot Officer**
Lowhirot has stationed every
siege weapon it has in the area.
**[18:14] Lowhirot Officer**
No matter how big it is, we can
knock out at least one leg.
**[18:18] Naofumi**
Good.
**[18:19] Naofumi**
But that's less than I'd like.
**[18:23] Naofumi**
Is that still in use?
**[18:25] Mideus Officer**
A fortress from the last great war.
**[18:29] Mideus Officer**
It's been abandoned for decades.
**[18:32] Naofumi**
Can we bring it down?
**[18:34] Naofumi**
With ritual magic or something?
**[18:36] Mideus Officer**
Mideus can provide mages that will
do it, but it will only work once.
**[18:42] Mideus Officer**
Though we'll do it as many times as you want,
**[18:45] Mideus Officer**
if you don't care how many mages die.
**[18:47] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
We have enough bombs to blow up a mountain.
**[18:52] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
We never got the chance to use them.
**[18:54] Naofumi**
We'll use them, then.
**[18:55] Naofumi**
We'll keep the multi-caster
magic for if we need it.
**[18:58] Haikazuya Officer**
We'll get to it immediately, then.
**[19:02] Naofumi**
Now, when it's done,
how do we cut off its head?
**[19:07] Raphtalia**
It would be hard to do it with this.
**[19:10] Filo**
Should I eat it?
**[19:11] Naofumi**
No.
**[19:14] Naofumi**
We'll head back and come
up with a plan ourselves.
**[19:18] Grandma**
With my and my student's Hengen Muso
and Raphtalia's swordsmanship,
**[19:22] Grandma**
we may find a way.
**[19:25] Rishia**
Um, Naofumi-san...
**[19:27] Rishia**
What do I do?
**[19:31] Naofumi**
Go with Ost to the town library and learn
what you can about the Spirit Tortoise.
**[19:36] Naofumi**
That's an important job, too. Probably.
**[19:39] Ost**
Let's do our best!
**[19:41] Rishia**
Right...
**[20:23] Eclair**
Oh, right. I stopped at the
capital before coming here.
**[20:27] Eclair**
Elhart-dono gave me something for you.
**[20:30] Eclair**
I'll go get it.
***SIGN*** Usauni Sword
**[20:34] Raphtalia**

**[20:39] Rishia**
How do I look?
**[20:40] Rishia**
Kweh! Kweh!
**[20:42] Raphtalia**
Just like the real thing!
**[20:43] Filo**
I do not say, "Kweh!"
**[20:45] Rishia**
Kweh! Kweh!
**[20:50] Ost**
So you're journeying with the Shield Hero
for the sake of the Bow Hero, huh?
**[20:56] Rishia**
Yes.
**[20:58] Rishia**
But when you say it like that,
it makes me sound like an awful person.
**[21:03] Naofumi**
I was the one who brought you with me.
**[21:05] Naofumi**
Don't be so hard on yourself.
**[21:07] Rishia**
Okay...
**[21:09] Ost**
You're in love with the
Bow Hero, aren't you?
**[21:13] Ost**
I think I can give you advice, then!
**[21:16] Ost**
I don't have much confidence I can help with
the Spirit Tortoise, but this, I can help with!
**[21:20] Rishia**
What, exactly?
**[21:23] Ost**
The key is to get intimate
as fast as possible!
**[21:27] Ost**
Do it and then think later!
**[21:30] Ost**
I seduced a ton of royals that way!
**[21:34] Rishia**
"D-D-D-D-Do it"? I can't...
**[21:37] Rishia**
It's not like that!
**[21:41] Naofumi**
You know what she meant, huh, Rishia?
**[21:44] Naofumi**
Well, you're old enough, I think.
**[21:46] Naofumi**
Even if you don't look it.
**[21:47] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[21:49] Grandma**
It's nice to be young.
**[21:52] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, what does she mean?
**[22:00] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise...

**[00:38] Soldier**
I bring news.
**[00:40] Soldier**
Our scouts are telling us that the
Spirit Tortoise has become active again.
**[00:44] Soldier**
The Shield Hero's party and the
Haikazuya army's dragon riders,
**[00:48] Soldier**
along with the Melromarc cavalry,
have begun preparations for the attack.
**[00:57] Mirelia**
Order Lowhirot's siege units and the Spirit
Tortoise Kingdom's sappers to take positions.
**[01:04] Soldier**
Understood!
**[01:12] Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer**
I will take command of the sappers.
**[01:21] Mirelia**
Good luck to all of you.
***SIGN*** Episode 3 Shaking Land
**[01:47] Naofumi**
You're one of the queen's aides, right?
**[01:50] Naofumi**
What do you want?
**[01:51] Aide**
I've been told to serve
as your messenger, I daresay.
**[01:57] Naofumi**
You...
**[01:59] Naofumi**
You're one of Melty's shadows, aren't you?
**[02:01] Naofumi**
Shouldn't you be with her?
**[02:03] Aide**
She's asked me to help you.
**[02:08] Naofumi**
I see.
**[02:10] Eclair**
Iwatani-dono!
**[02:13] Eclair**
We'll do this as planned, then.
**[02:14] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[02:16] Naofumi**
We need your skills as an instructor.
**[02:18] Naofumi**
Don't stand at the front of
any charges and get killed.
**[02:22] Eclair**
That's my line.
**[02:24] Eclair**
See you on the battlefield, then.
**[02:29] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, help me.
**[02:34] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[02:42] Filo**
Let's hurry up!
**[02:54] Eclair**
Battalion!
**[02:56] Soldiers**
Company! Company!
**[03:02] Soldiers**
Draw swords!
**[03:03] Soldiers**
Draw swords!
**[03:11] Soldiers**
Ready!
**[03:21] Eclair**
Forward!
**[03:29] Soldiers**
That's...!
**[03:32] Soldiers**
Look! That flag!
**[03:37] Soldiers**
The Hero! The Shield Hero!
**[03:42] Soldiers**
Shield Hero!
**[03:46] Soldiers**
We're counting on you!
**[03:59] Eclair**
Amazing.
**[04:01] Eclair**
He's raised the morale of the
troops just by doing that.
**[04:06] Ost**
I see!
**[04:08] Raphtalia**
That's why he wanted the flag.
**[04:11] Naofumi**
That's part of it.
**[04:12] Naofumi**
But later, it's going to serve as a warning:
"Don't get close to the flag."
**[04:17] Naofumi**
I'm about to summon it, after all.
**[04:27] Ost**
Rishia-san!
**[04:29] Rishia**
Right!
**[04:37] Naofumi**
Okay, let's get to it!
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
**[06:28] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[06:29] Filo**
Right!
**[06:34] Naofumi**
Hate reaction!
**[06:44] Raphtalia**
It worked!
**[06:44] Naofumi**
For now.
**[06:47] Naofumi**
Floor it, Filo!
**[06:48] Naofumi**
Don't let them catch us!
**[06:50] Filo**
On it!
**[06:53] Eclair**
We're counting on you, Iwatani-dono!
**[06:55] Eclair**
Stay in formation!
**[06:57] Eclair**
We're going to lure the
Spirit Tortoise away!
**[07:09] Soldier**
Get the weapons ready!
**[07:12] Soldier**
It's here!
**[07:26] Eclair**
Tactical column!
**[07:28] Soldiers**
Tactical column!
**[07:29] Soldiers**
Tactical column!
**[07:42] Soldiers**
Prepare to fire!
**[07:46] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[07:53] Naofumi**
Well, we've got it where we want it.
**[07:55] Rishia**
W-We can't keep this up any longer!
**[08:00] Naofumi**
Shit! Filo, stop!
**[08:06] Naofumi**
We'll take down the familiars now!
**[08:08] Filo & Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[08:09] Rishia**
Against a-a-a-all of them?
**[08:13] Elrasla**
They might take all of us down!
**[08:17] Elrasla**
Rishia, my student, show me what you can do!
**[08:20] Rishia**
O-Okay!
**[08:22] Ost**
I, Ost Hourai, give my orders
to the heavens and the earth.
**[08:25] Ost**
Sever the laws of reality,
**[08:27] Ost**
bind them together, and make
them spit out the pus within.
**[08:31] Ost**
By my power, may the gravity of
those before me be amplified!
**[08:36] Ost**
Ultra-Gravity Enhancement: Sinking Temple!
**[08:40] Naofumi**
Is she... controlling gravity?
**[08:45] Rishia**
I've never heard an incantation
like that before...
**[08:48] Ost**
Only a few monsters can use it.
**[08:54] Ost**
Now! Hurry!
**[08:58] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Filo! Rishia! Old woman!
**[09:01] All**
Right!
**[09:05] Soldiers**
Fire!
**[09:06] Soldiers**
Fire!
**[09:33] Raphtalia**
Ying-Yang Blade!
**[09:42] Elrasla**
Hengen Muso Secret
Technique: Crescent Moon!
**[09:52] Filo**
Drifa Tornado!
**[09:59] Rishia**
Everyone... you're all amazing.
**[10:02] Naofumi**
But it doesn't mean a thing
if they just keep coming!
**[10:05] Aide**
Reporting, I daresay.
**[10:08] Aide**
The Spirit Tortoise's advance has not stopped.
**[10:11] Aide**
The siege weapon attack was ineffectual.
**[10:15] Aide**
The siege weapon teams have not retreated,
however, and are continuing the assault!
**[10:20] Soldier**
Concentrate attacks on its right foreleg!
**[10:23] Soldier**
We'll knock out one of them, at least!
**[10:28] Soldier**
The right leg!
**[10:30] Soldier**
Concentrate on its right leg!
**[10:33] Soldier**
Fire!
**[10:51] Ost**
The siege units have sustained
over 50 percent casualties, I daresay.
**[10:54] Naofumi**
What about the sappers in the fort?
**[10:56] Aide**
Preparations are complete.
**[10:58] Aide**
The bombing teams have withdrawn.
**[10:59] Aide**
The Spirit Tortoise Kingdom's
commander remained alone.
**[11:03] Naofumi**
What?
**[11:15] Spirit Tortoise**
Don't be in such a hurry, Spirit Tortoise.
**[11:17] Spirit Tortoise**
I'm about to send you back to bed.
**[11:28] Aide**
Another shadow sent up a signal.
**[11:30] Aide**
The sappers' bombs have stopped
the Spirit Tortoise's advance.
**[11:34] Aide**
They say the commander met his
end in the collapse, I daresay.
**[11:40] Naofumi**
I see.
**[12:05] Naofumi**
Now all that's left is to cut off its head.
**[12:13] Elrasla**
That's beyond even me.
**[12:16] Elrasla**
If only my two students had completely
mastered Hengen Muso style,
**[12:21] Elrasla**
then perhaps...
**[12:28] Ost**
What's wrong?
**[12:30] Rishia**
Um...
**[12:31] Rishia**
The queen found this record for
me just before the battle began.
**[12:37] Rishia**
And it says...
**[12:39] Rishia**
Th-This! This is it!
**[12:42] Ost**
This is...
**[12:45] Rishia**
Ost-san! What's wrong?
**[12:47] Naofumi**
We should get close and...
**[12:49] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[12:51] Rishia**
Even when the Spirit Tortoise
stops moving, it's still dangerous!
**[12:53] Naofumi**
What?
**[12:55] Ost**
Getting close to it may have awakened
some information in my mind.
**[13:00] Ost**
When the Spirit Tortoise can no
longer take souls directly...
**[13:08] Naofumi**
What?
**[13:09] Ost**
It begins a long-range assault.
**[13:14] Soldier**
Look.
**[13:16] Naofumi**
Don't tell me...
**[13:17] Ost**
It's too dangerous!
**[13:18] Ost**
Have them all fall back!
**[13:20] Naofumi**
Get moving! Now!
**[13:36] Naofumi**
This is insane!
**[13:37] Naofumi**
Is it that hungry?
**[13:39] Ost**
It's taking far more souls than it needs.
**[13:43] Ost**
Whoever's controlling it is probably...
**[13:46] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[13:49] Ost**
Th-Thank you!
**[13:51] Naofumi**
It's going to slaughter us!
**[13:58] Naofumi**
I guess I don't have a choice.
**[14:00] Naofumi**
Everyone, get in the carriage!
**[14:01] All**
Okay!
**[14:04] Naofumi**
And... Shadow!
**[14:06] Aide**
I'm right here.
**[14:08] Naofumi**
Give this message to the queen and
the others at main HQ immediately.
**[14:12] Eclair**
What do we do?
**[14:16] Eclair**
Iwatani-dono? What are you...
**[14:23] Eclair**
We will now charge the Spirit Tortoise!
**[14:27] Soldier**
Eclair-sama, that's suicide!
**[14:31] Eclair**
Look.
**[14:32] Eclair**
Those thorns aren't landing
anywhere close to it.
**[14:35] Eclair**
It's probably trying to
avoid hurting itself.
**[14:38] Soldier**
But the soldiers will take casualties.
**[14:40] Eclair**
This whole area is inside its firing range.
**[14:44] Eclair**
If we fall back now, when our formation
has collapsed, we'll be wiped out.
**[14:49] Eclair**
Follow the Shield Hero!
**[14:51] Eclair**
Ready... charge!
**[14:54] Soldiers**
Charge!
**[14:55] Soldier**
The Spirit Tortoise was stopped,
**[14:58] Soldier**
but it launched some kind of thorns
from its shell at our troops!
**[15:02] Soldier**
We've taken massive damage!
**[15:04] Soldier**
Reporting!
**[15:05] Soldier**
The remaining troops are charging the
Tortoise at the Shield Hero's orders!
**[15:10] Haikazuya Commander**
Madness! What is he thinking?
**[15:12] Mirelia**
Knowing Iwatani-sama, he must have a plan.
**[15:16] Soldier**
The Shield Hero has a message for HQ.
**[15:21] Soldier**
"I'm moving the plan to
stage two." That's all.
**[15:25] Mirelia**
I guess it's our only choice.
**[15:28] Mirelia**
Mideus's mage units are to prepare the
high-class multi-caster ritual magic.
**[15:33] Mirelia**
Initiate the incantation immediately!
**[15:44] Soldier**
Don't clump up!
**[15:46] Soldier**
If we do, we'll all be wiped out at once!
**[15:57] Soldier**
Don't... Don't die on me!
**[16:26] Raphtalia**
Multi-caster ritual magic?
**[16:28] Raphtalia**
Don't tell me...
**[16:29] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[16:30] Naofumi**
Our last option.
**[16:35] Naofumi**
Casting it is hard on the mages,
so we can only use it once,
**[16:39] Naofumi**
but we can use the spell like a
mine to blast off its foot.
**[16:41] Ost**
Even if the spell doesn't kill it,
**[16:44] Ost**
there will be a hole we can knock it
into to stop it from moving further.
**[16:48] Naofumi**
Yeah. As big as it is, it might not
even fit all the way in the hole.
**[16:53] Naofumi**
But we'll follow up immediately
by taking its head.
**[16:57] Ost**
That's the best option.
**[16:59] Naofumi**
Are you sure about this?
**[17:01] Naofumi**
If the Spirit Tortoise goes, you'll also...
**[17:04] Ost**
I don't mind.
**[17:06] Ost**
That's why I asked you for help.
**[17:13] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, something's coming!
**[17:22] Filo**
What is that thing?
**[17:27] Naofumi**
A parasite?
**[17:28] Naofumi**
It's a bunch of familiars stuck together?
**[17:30] Naofumi**
Damn it! We're so close!
**[17:36] Ost**
Its familiars are weak enough
that I can stop them.
**[17:40] Naofumi**
You...
**[17:44] Naofumi**
What are you doing?
**[17:45] Soldier**
We'll handle this!
**[17:46] Soldier**
You attack the Tortoise!
**[17:53] Naofumi**
Sorry! Thanks!
**[17:54] Soldier**
Of course!
**[18:13] Soldier**
You're...
**[18:18] Raphtalia**
Hurry, Filo!
**[18:19] Filo**
Roger!
**[18:22] Soldier**
Here and now we unlock the truths,
**[18:25] Soldier**
and bring down the lightning
of God's judgment!
**[18:33] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, isn't that...
**[18:35] Naofumi**
Yeah. Judgment.
**[18:38] Rishia**
The one the p-pope used?
**[18:41] Rishia**
You're using something so
powerful and dangerous?
**[19:00] Elrasla**
Saint, you must not let
this chance go to waste!
**[19:03] Naofumi**
Yeah! I know!
**[19:04] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Filo!
**[19:14] Filo**
Spiral Strike!
**[19:14] Raphtalia**
Eight Trigrams Blade of Destiny!
**[19:21] Elrasla**
Raphtalia did it!
**[19:29] Raphtalia**
And now you're going to try and run?
**[19:36] Ost**
I, Ost Hourai, give my orders
to the heavens and the earth.
**[19:43] Ost**
By my power, may strength be granted
to the holy shield before me!
**[19:59] Naofumi**
Go! Raphtalia! Filo!
**[20:02] Both**
Right!
**[20:02] Rishia**
I-I'll help, too!
**[21:19] Raphtalia**
We did it!
**[21:21] Naofumi**
Yeah...
**[21:23] Raphtalia**
But if we defeated the Spirit Tortoise,
that means that Ost-san is...
**[21:28] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[21:29] Elrasla**
She did her duty as a familiar...
**[21:35] Filo**
Ost-oneechan, Rishia-oneechan is crying.
**[21:40] Rishia**
Thank you...
**[21:48] Naofumi**
Ost... you...
**[21:51] Naofumi**
If you're still here, that means...
**[21:53] Ost**
Huh?
**[21:55] Ost**
Oh, right... That's right.
**[22:00] Ost**
Looks like you haven't defeated
the Spirit Tortoise yet.

Stop it! What are you doing?

*Dad! Mom!*

So I want to repay him...
I want to help him.

I may not have the right to say this, but...
**[01:56] Ost**
I'm sure he's safe.
**[02:00] Rishia**
Thank you!
**[02:06] Elrasla**
It seems the decision's
been made then, Saint.
**[02:10] Naofumi**
Yes.
**[02:11] Naofumi**
We leave at dawn.
**[02:15] Naofumi**
For the back of the Spirit Tortoise.

* I'm sure... I'm sure*
* Itsuki-sama is there, too.*

**[03:56] Naofumi**
We cut off the Spirit Tortoise's head,
but its familiar, Ost, is still alive.
**[04:01] Naofumi**
Which means the Tortoise itself could
revive and go on a rampage at any moment.
**[04:07] Naofumi**
But the allied forces need
time to resupply and reorganize.
**[04:13] Naofumi**
It's risky, but our party is going to climb
onto its back and look for its weak point.
**[04:19] Elrasla**
It's the only way.
**[04:21] Elrasla**
We need to finish the Spirit Tortoise
before it comes back to life.
**[04:25] Naofumi**
And if Ost is going to remember
something by getting close to it,
**[04:30] Naofumi**
its back is the most likely spot.
**[04:33] Ost**
Yes.
**[04:34] Rishia**
Oh, Filo-chan! How was the meeting?
**[04:39] Filo**
Everybody was just frowning
all the time. It was dull.
**[04:43] Filo**
There was no food either.
**[04:45] Rishia**
Hey, Filo! I let you take my
place because you wanted to go.
**[04:52] Eclair**
With all those grumpy old men around,
having Filo-dono there made me feel much better.
**[04:57] Naofumi**
Yeah. Raphtalia would just
complain about everything.
**[05:01] Rishia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[05:03] Filo**
Oh, they all had nice things
to say about the turtle lady!
**[05:10] Filo**
Um... They said she saved the
lives of a lot of soldiers.
**[05:15] Ost**
No... I don't deserve your praise.
**[05:19] Ost**
Because my real job is...
**[05:24] Rishia**
Um, uh...
**[05:25] Naofumi**
There it is.
**[05:34] Naofumi**
Those sappers know how to do their jobs.
**[05:38] Naofumi**
Can you get us across this, Filo?
**[05:40] Filo**
Yeah, I'll be fine!
**[05:42] Soldier**
Take care!
**[05:43] Soldier**
Best of luck, Shield Hero!
**[05:48] Soldier**
And you too, Ost-sama.
**[05:54] Ost**
Thanks!
**[05:57] Filo**
Here we go!
**[06:09] Naofumi**
So this is the tortoise's back, huh?
**[06:16] Naofumi**
This is gonna be a tough climb.
**[06:24] Ost**
Do they know who I am?
**[06:28] Eclair**
Those soldiers earlier?
**[06:31] Eclair**
Yeah. The generals sent
out a message to everyone.
**[06:34] Ost**
I see.
**[06:36] Raphtalia**
What is it?
**[06:38] Ost**
I just don't understand.
**[06:40] Ost**
I'm a servant of the Spirit Tortoise.
**[06:43] Ost**
My job is to steal souls.
**[06:46] Ost**
So why would they treat me so kindly?
**[06:54] Raphtalia**
Because you fought alongside us.
**[06:59] Ost**
But...
**[07:00] Eclair**
Sure, maybe when the Spirit
Tortoise goes back to normal,
**[07:03] Eclair**
you may go back to fulfilling your role.
**[07:06] Eclair**
But...
**[07:08] Raphtalia**
It's also true that you saved our lives.
**[07:11] Rishia**
Yeah!
**[07:12] Rishia**
They were grateful to you, I think!
**[07:16] Rishia**
As someone who fought by their side!
**[07:18] Rishia**
Um... as a comrade-in-arms.
**[07:21] Ost**
A comrade-in-arms...
**[07:25] Ost**
If that's how you all feel,
that makes me very happy.
**[07:31] Naofumi**
Well? Think you can remember anything?
**[07:34] Ost**
Oh, right.
**[07:39] Ost**
No. It's like there's a fog inside my mind.
**[07:48] Rishia**
And just like Ost-san...
**[07:56] Filo**
Master...
**[07:58] Filo**
Is it food time yet?
**[08:00] Naofumi**
Hmm... I guess we can set up camp here.
**[08:05] Eclair**
Are you insane, Iwatani-dono?
**[08:07] Ost**
You heard what Ost said.
**[08:09] Ost**
If we just wander around all night,
we won't do anything but exhaust ourselves.
**[08:14] Elrasla**
Sleeping on a monster's back?
How brave you are!
**[08:18] Ost**
Um, well... Sorry.
**[08:27] Ost**
They're cute, aren't they?
**[08:31] Ost**
Like real sisters.
**[08:36] Rishia**
Yeah.
**[08:37] Rishia**
I'm an only child, so I'm jealous.
**[08:41] Rishia**
Of course, that meant I got
all my parents' attention.
**[08:45] Ost**
Are you lonely? Being away
from your parents, I mean.
**[08:50] Rishia**
It was my choice.
**[08:52] Rishia**
And they both supported me when I left.
**[08:58] Rishia**
But...
**[08:59] Rishia**
When I was banished from the party,
**[09:02] Rishia**
and I couldn't be with Itsuki-sama
when I wanted to help him most,
**[09:08] Rishia**
I wondered what it was I was even doing.
**[09:14] Ost**
Even if you had stayed with him,
**[09:16] Ost**
do you think you could've
accomplished anything?
**[09:22] Ost**
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.
**[09:28] Ost**
I just thought that now, maybe you
could accomplish something.
**[09:33] Ost**
You, who fought the Spirit Tortoise
not as a comrade of the Bow Hero,
**[09:39] Ost**
but of the Shield Hero...
**[09:43] Ost**
I think that now, you could help the Bow Hero.
**[09:51] Rishia**
I-I'm sorry!
**[09:54] Ost**
H-Huh? Did I end up making you cry after all?
**[09:58] Rishia**
I know you're suffering much more than I am,
**[10:00] Rishia**
but you're trying to make me feel better.
**[10:06] Ost**
Thank you. Those words alone are enough.
**[10:10] Rishia**
But...
**[10:11] Ost**
Don't worry. I'm just fine.
**[10:18] Rishia**
Ost-san!
**[10:19] Ost**
Something just...
**[10:24] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[10:25] Rishia**
Ost-san is...
**[10:27] Naofumi**
Something's wrong.
**[10:29] Naofumi**
The fog lifted.
**[10:35] Naofumi**
Well, Ost?
**[10:42] Ost**
There.
**[11:17] Mirelia**
Begin the rescue immediately!
**[11:28] Elrasla**
I expected this to be hard for you,
**[11:29] Elrasla**
but it seems hard for Raphtalia as well.
**[11:33] Naofumi**
You okay, Raphtalia?
**[11:36] Raphtalia**
I'm...
**[11:38] Eclair**
She must've remembered what happened
in that basement prison.
**[11:41] Eclair**
And the bodies of her friends.
**[11:58] Rishia**
Thank you, Filo-chan.
**[12:11] Ost**
Rishia-san.
**[12:24] Mirelia**
They lived their whole lives here while
the Spirit Tortoise was sealed.
**[12:27] Mirelia**
I'm sure they knew this would happen, but...
**[12:29] Mirelia**
If the Tortoise did not
revive of its own will,
**[12:34] Mirelia**
that only makes it worse for those who died.
**[12:37] Naofumi**
Did you learn anything?
**[12:39] Mirelia**
The shadows found a temple up ahead.
**[12:43] Mirelia**
Please, come with me.
**[12:51] Shadow**
Your Majesty.
**[12:52] Mirelia**
Good work. What's the situation?
**[12:55] Shadow**
Like the others. No survivors.
**[12:58] Shadow**
But there's something I want
you to see inside, I daresay.
**[13:02] Shadow**
The damage is extensive and the structure
could collapse at any time, I daresay.
**[13:06] Shadow**
Be careful.
**[13:08] Mirelia**
The texts say this was a shrine
to the Spirit Tortoise.
**[13:15] Naofumi**
Is this where the seal was broken?
**[13:17] Mirelia**
I don't know.
**[13:19] Mirelia**
But it's likely.
**[13:24] Raphtalia**
Are you okay?
**[13:25] Rishia**
Yes! Thank you!
**[13:30] Rishia**
Are you okay, Raphtalia-san?
**[13:34] Raphtalia**
Yes, I'm fine.
**[13:36] Raphtalia**
I know I need to get used to this stuff.
**[13:40] Rishia**
That's not true.
**[13:43] Rishia**
You can't get used to it!
**[13:45] Rishia**
You don't have to get used to it!
**[13:57] Raphtalia**
Thank you, Rishia-san.
And you too, Eclair-san!
**[14:00] Rishia**
No, I...
**[14:03] Rishia**
I don't have the right to tell you anything.
**[14:05] Eclair**
Thanks.
**[14:11] Mirelia**
This is...
**[14:12] Filo**
Tortoise-san!
**[14:15] Rishia**
Ancient writing.
**[14:18] Rishia**
"Spirit Tortoise."
"Guardian Beast of the World"?
**[14:24] Naofumi**
You can read it?
**[14:26] Rishia**
Yes.
**[14:27] Rishia**
It's not that hard.
**[14:28] Mirelia**
The writing is simple, for this field.
**[14:33] Naofumi**
Yet it takes everything I have
to read a spell book!
**[14:38] Rishia**
This seems to describe what
the Spirit Tortoise is.
**[14:43] Rishia**
It doesn't say anything about the seal.
**[14:47] Eclair**
You look more alive now than
you do during sword practice.
**[14:52] Rishia**
Sorry!
**[14:54] Eclair**
No, it's good to have
something you're good at.
**[14:57] Rishia**
Maybe we should make you focus
on that instead of fighting.
**[15:02] Elrasla**
Perhaps.
**[15:04] Elrasla**
But her ability to manipulate
ki is exceptional.
**[15:10] Elrasla**
I meant it when I said she
could master Hengen Muso soon.
**[15:22] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[15:24] Naofumi**
I pray you're right.
**[15:28] Naofumi**
What is it?
**[15:29] Rishia**
This looks like the writing from
another world that's used by the heroes.
**[15:33] Naofumi**
By us?
**[15:35] Rishia**
Yes. I can't read it easily.
**[15:39] Naofumi**
Don't tell me...
**[15:42] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
***SIGN*** If a _____ summoned from Japan is reading these words, r_me__er t__s. No __tter how powerful a se_l you place on this monster, the ______ seventh___ shatter__ I've learned that its goal is to ____________ the world's_____
**[15:44] Naofumi**
It's Japanese!
**[15:47] Raphtalia**
"Japanese"?
**[15:49] Naofumi**
From my world.
**[15:52] Naofumi**
The language of a country called Japan.
***SIGN*** If a _____ summoned from Japan is reading these words,
r_me__er t__s.
No __tter how powerful a se_l you place on this monster,
the ______ seventh___ shatter__
I've learned that its goal is to ____________ the world's_____
**[15:55] Raphtalia**
This is from Naofumi-sama's world.
**[15:59] Mirelia**
It's known as the Hero's Alphabet.
**[16:02] Mirelia**
It must've been left by one of
the ancient Four Cardinal Heroes.
**[16:06] Naofumi**
It's faded and hard to read in spots,
**[16:09] Naofumi**
but I can make out the words
"seal," "seventh," and, "shatter."
**[16:13] Naofumi**
*Seventh?*
**[16:16] Naofumi**
*Does it have something to do with this?*
***SIGN*** ___ defeat this monster,

Keiichi
**[16:24] Ost**
This place contains information
about the Spirit Tortoise's seal,
**[16:26] Ost**
as well as information on how to break it.
**[16:29] Naofumi**
You can read it too, Ost?
**[16:32] Ost**
No, but...
**[16:34] Ost**
I'm starting to remember.
**[16:37] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise...
to defeat it, you have to...
**[16:41] Elrasla**
Oh no! It's collapsing!
**[16:43] Naofumi**
Crap! Get us out of here, Filo!
**[16:45] Filo**
Okay!
**[16:48] Mirelia**
No! This writing is priceless!
**[16:51] Eclair**
Your Majesty, we have
more important priorities!
**[16:53] Shadow**
I'm sorry, I daresay.
**[16:54] Mirelia**
Let me go!
**[16:56] Mirelia**
I'm begging you, as a knight!
**[17:07] Eclair**
That was close.
**[17:11] Shadow**
Another Shadow is reporting that the Spirit
Tortoise is likely to revive soon, I daresay.
**[17:16] Raphtalia**
No! Already?
**[17:18] Elrasla**
I'm afraid we're out of time.
**[17:20] Elrasla**
We must hurry and climb off!
**[17:22] Naofumi**
Damn it! We're so close!
**[17:24] Ost**
It's okay. I remember how to defeat it.
**[17:29] Rishia**
Really, Ost-san?
**[17:32] Ost**
Go inside its body and destroy its heart.
**[17:37] Raphtalia**
Inside its body?
**[17:39] Naofumi**
But how?
**[17:41] Ost**
There's an entrance into its
body deep within the shrine.
**[17:47] Ost**
Follow it, and you'll reach its heart.
**[17:52] Naofumi**
I see.
**[17:54] Naofumi**
We're heading inside the
Spirit Tortoise's body!
**[17:56] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[17:57] Filo**
Roger!
**[17:58] Rishia**
*Oh, no...*
**[18:01] Naofumi**
Queen, Eclair, and old lady, you head off.
**[18:04] Eclair**
Wait, Iwatani-dono! We'll go with you!
**[18:07] Elrasla**
That's right! Don't underestimate
what I can do!
**[18:11] Rishia**
*I have to speak up.*
**[18:13] Naofumi**
I know what you can do. That's why
I want you to command the army.
**[18:17] Naofumi**
If the Spirit Tortoise starts moving again
while we're not here, they'll fall apart.
**[18:22] Elrasla**
I see.
**[18:23] Elrasla**
Then I accept, Saint.
**[18:27] Rishia**
*I'll be left behind, too.*
**[18:37] Naofumi**
Okay, and Rishia?
**[18:39] Naofumi**
You head down and wait at the rear.
**[18:41] Rishia**
No!
**[18:43] Rishia**
I'll go with you!
**[18:45] Naofumi**
Is this about Itsuki?
**[18:47] Rishia**
Of course, I'm worried about him.
**[18:50] Rishia**
But right now, I'm a member of your party.
**[18:54] Rishia**
If you're going, I'm going, too!
**[19:00] Naofumi**
Yeah, that's right.
**[19:03] Naofumi**
Sorry.
**[19:05] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[19:06] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, Filo, Ost, and Rishia.
**[19:12] Rishia**
Right!
**[19:19] Naofumi**
This place is eerie.
**[19:20] Filo**
We're inside the turtle, huh?
**[19:23] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[19:24] Naofumi**
Probably in its large intestine.
**[19:27] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, that's disgusting.
**[19:30] Naofumi**
If souls are what it eats, what does it poop?
**[19:35] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[19:36] Naofumi**
I'm just asking.
**[19:39] Raphtalia**
Well, don't.
**[19:40] Filo**
It doesn't smell weird or anything!
**[19:42] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[19:42] Raphtalia**
Filo, stop.
**[19:43] Filo**
Why?
**[19:48] Ost**
Thank you.
**[19:51] Ost**
For coming with us.
**[19:53] Rishia**
No, it's not something
worth thanking me for.
**[19:58] Ost**
I hope the Bow Hero and the
other Heroes are here, and safe.
**[20:05] Rishia**
I said this a moment ago,
**[20:07] Rishia**
but right now, I'm part
of Naofumi-san's party.
**[20:13] Rishia**
I'm just working towards
what they, and you, want,
**[20:16] Rishia**
which is stopping the Spirit Tortoise.
**[20:23] Naofumi**
You don't change, huh?
**[20:24] Raphtalia**
But that's more like Rishia-san!
**[20:28] Filo**
That's the Rishia-oneechan I'm used to!
**[20:44] Naofumi**
Get back!
**[20:48] Adventurer**
Oh, you're human?
**[20:51] Raphtalia**
Fast Light!
**[20:55] Naofumi**
Adventurers? What are you doing here?
**[20:59] Adventurer**
Oh, you know...
**[21:00] Adventurer**
The queen told us to come here, too.
**[21:04] Naofumi**
The queen?
**[21:05] Ost**
Would Queen Mirelia have given such an order to
people she didn't know in these circumstances?
**[21:11] Adventurer**
Well, you know, the more people, the better.
**[21:16] Adventurer**
Anyway, we'll be going.
**[21:19] Adventurer**
See you around, lad.
**[21:24] Naofumi**
Hold it.
**[21:25] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[21:27] Raphtalia**
As source of thy power, I order thee.
**[21:29] Raphtalia**
Decipher the laws of nature,
and reveal them for who they are!
**[21:33] Raphtalia**
Anti-Mirage!
**[21:36] Rishia**
You're...
**[21:41] L'Arc**
Well, guess you found us out!
**[21:43] L'Arc**
It's been a while, lad!
**[21:45] Naofumi**
L'Arc! Therese!
**[21:48] Naofumi**
And...
**[21:49] Therese**
Why did we even bother with those disguises?
**[21:52] Therese**
You had no intention
of hiding, did you, L'Arc?
**[21:56] Naofumi**
No...
**[21:58] Naofumi**
Is that you? Glass?

**[00:06] Ost**
Where am I?
**[00:12] Ost**
*I'm a familiar of the Spirit Tortoise.*
**[00:15] Ost**
* Up until now, I've done my*
* duty and taken many souls.*
**[00:20] Ost**
* I did it to protect this world*
* from the threat of the Waves.*
**[00:24] Ost**
*That's what I told myself.*
**[00:27] Ost**
*But...*
**[00:29] Ost**
* If I have no need for emotions,*
* why did I need to tell myself anything?*
**[00:36] Ost**
*Why do I suffer so when I see their smiles?*
**[00:42] Ost**
* Why does a mere familiar*
* need these feelings?*
**[00:49] Ost**
Who's there?
**[00:55] Ost**
Who is it? Who's there?
**[01:13] Rishia**
You're...
**[01:16] L'Arc**
Well, guess you found us out!
**[01:19] L'Arc**
It's been a while, lad!
**[01:21] Therese**
Why did we even bother with those disguises?
**[01:24] Therese**
You had no intention of
hiding, did you, L'Arc?
**[01:28] Naofumi**
L'Arc! Therese!
**[01:30] Naofumi**
And Glass!
**[01:32] Naofumi**
Why are you here?
**[01:37] Naofumi**
They're supposedly heroes from another world,
sent to kill us Four Cardinal Heroes.
**[01:42] (Flashback) L'Arc**
We just need you to die
for the sake of our world.
**[01:46] Naofumi**
But they were supposed to have gone home
during the Wave at Cal Mira Island.
**[01:55] L'Arc**
Don't look so tense.
**[01:57] L'Arc**
We're not here to fight you this time.
**[02:01] Naofumi**
What do you mean?
**[02:03] L'Arc**
The Spirit Tortoise, was it?
**[02:05] L'Arc**
And the guy who broke the seal?
**[02:09] L'Arc**
We're here to kick his ass.
***SIGN*** Episode 5 Ost Hourai
**[03:45] Naofumi**
You're here to defeat the one who broke
the seal on the Spirit Tortoise?
**[03:48] Naofumi**
Why do you have to get involved?
**[03:53] Ost**
Whoever it was, they probably came
from another world, like those three.
**[03:59] Naofumi**
Is that right?
**[04:00] Therese**
Yes.
**[04:02] Glass**
He's trying to take control of Guardian
Beasts across several worlds,
**[04:05] Glass**
and make their power his own.
**[04:08] Glass**
It goes against the very laws of the world.
**[04:12] Naofumi**
The laws of the world?
**[04:15] L'Arc**
I know what you're thinking.
**[04:17] L'Arc**
We want to kill you
for the sake of our world.
**[04:23] L'Arc**
But he's different.
**[04:25] L'Arc**
He's willing to make a mess of things in this
world for the sake of his own personal greed.
**[04:31] Therese**
And in the end, this will bring misery
and destruction to our world, too.
**[04:39] Glass**
So he must be stopped.
**[04:42] Glass**
Our vassal weapons whisper this to us.
**[04:47] L'Arc**
You're after him, too?
**[04:49] L'Arc**
So why don't we call a truce
and join forces again?
**[04:55] Glass**
L'Arc! That's...
**[04:57] Naofumi**
I refuse.
**[04:59] Naofumi**
I'm not joining someone
I'll have to kill eventually.
**[05:04] Naofumi**
But if you're not going to start
a fight with us right now,
**[05:07] Naofumi**
then I don't care what you do.
**[05:10] Naofumi**
Go do whatever you want.
**[05:13] L'Arc**
Yeah, figures.
**[05:16] L'Arc**
We'll be on our way then.
**[05:19] L'Arc**
Bye, lad.
**[05:28] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[05:32] Naofumi**
This is for the best.
**[05:46] Haikazuya Officer**
Impossible...
**[05:49] Haikazuya Officer**
We paid such a high price for nothing!
**[05:52] Lowhirot Officer**
From the speed at which it's regenerating,
**[05:54] Lowhirot Officer**
there's not much time
before it's active again.
**[05:58] Mideus Officer**
What is the Shield Hero doing?
**[06:00] Mirelia**
The Hero and his party have entered
the Spirit Tortoise's body.
**[06:05] Mirelia**
They've gone to destroy the heart deep
within its body, and stop it forever.
**[06:12] Mirelia**
It's up to us to stop
its advance until then.
**[06:19] Mirelia**
I, Mirelia Q. Melromarc, shall lead the
charge to inspire the knights and men!
**[06:28] Eclair**
Your Majesty...
**[06:34] Haikazuya Officer**
We will be right behind you.
**[06:37] Mirelia**
Then let us go.
**[06:44] Raphtalia**
It's hard to believe that somebody from L'Arc's
world is the one controlling the Spirit Tortoise.
**[06:49] Naofumi**
We don't know that for sure.
**[06:51] Raphtalia**
But...
**[06:56] Naofumi**
What I'm thinking about is...
**[06:58] Naofumi**
Why was Glass dressed like that?
**[07:02] Raphtalia**
I don't know.
**[07:09] Naofumi**
Ost...
**[07:17] Ost**
This way.
**[07:18] Rishia**
She's started to remember a lot.
**[07:21] Raphtalia**
I guess that just means we're close.
**[07:25] Filo**
Which way do you think
the scythe people went?
**[07:36] Therese**
L'Arc, is this really the way?
**[07:39] L'Arc**
Yeah, look at all these familiars!
**[07:41] L'Arc**
He has to be close!
**[07:43] Glass**
That tells us nothing!
**[08:04] Naofumi**
This is... a dragon hourglass!
**[08:08] Filo**
It's blue!
**[08:10] Raphtalia**
The sand's all in the bottom part.
**[08:12] Raphtalia**
Does it have nothing to do with the Waves?
**[08:18] Naofumi**
What does this icon mean?
**[08:22] Ost**
It shows the number of souls
taken by the Spirit Tortoise.
**[08:26] Ost**
When it's full,
**[08:28] Ost**
it was supposed to create a barrier
to protect the world from the Waves.
**[08:33] Naofumi**
So this isn't the heart, then.
**[08:36] Ost**
Yes.
**[08:37] Ost**
It's to show how many souls
**[08:39] Ost**
have been gathered and transformed
into the Spirit Tortoise's power.
**[08:44] Ost**
The knowledge just came to me, clearly.
**[08:50] Naofumi**
Let's hurry!
**[08:56] L'Arc**
This is the turtle monster's heart, huh?
**[08:59] Glass**
Let's destroy it.
**[09:01] Therese**
But then what happens to the Guardian Beast?
**[09:04] Glass**
We don't have a choice.
**[09:06] Glass**
The most we can do is release
the Tortoise from his grasp.
**[09:11] Therese**
I understand.
**[09:18] Filo**
This is disgusting!
**[09:20] Filo**
What is this place?
**[09:23] Rishia**
Are you okay?
**[09:26] Ost**
I don't understand anymore.
**[09:29] Ost**
My task was to steal souls and
use them to power the Spirit Tortoise.
**[09:36] Ost**
I thought this would save the world.
**[09:43] Ost**
But...
**[09:44] Ost**
What kind of world is worth protecting
**[09:47] Ost**
if it means stealing the lives and smiles
of those who fought alongside me?
**[09:55] Ost**
Aren't the souls of the people who smile
like they did what I really need to protect?
**[10:04] Rishia**
Don't try to carry all the burdens yourself!
**[10:06] Rishia**
We can all think together about what to do!
**[10:10] Rishia**
We're all comrades now!
**[10:14] Ost**
Comrades...
**[10:16] Rishia**
Yeah!
**[10:17] Rishia**
I'm sure Naofumi-san feels the same way!
**[10:20] Rishia**
He'd get mad if he heard me
saying that, wouldn't he?
**[10:25] Raphtalia**
Don't worry.
**[10:26] Raphtalia**
I guarantee you that's what he's thinking.
**[10:29] Raphtalia**
And...
**[10:31] Filo**
Me, too!
**[10:32] Raphtalia**
And us, too. We feel the same way.
**[10:36] Ost**
Everyone...
**[10:38] Raphtalia**
You, his familiar, care for
the people so deeply.
**[10:43] Raphtalia**
I'm sure the Spirit Tortoise does, too.
**[10:45] Raphtalia**
So let's find a way to avoid defeating it...
**[10:48] Naofumi**
Hey! I found an exit!
**[10:53] Rishia**
Its mouth, perhaps?
**[10:56] Filo**
Is it gonna barf us up?
**[10:58] Naofumi**
I'd like to believe its
head hasn't regrown yet.
**[11:01] Naofumi**
What do we do? Turn back?
**[11:04] Ost**
No.
**[11:18] Ost**
This path leads to the heart.
**[11:21] Naofumi**
Let's hurry.
**[11:27] Naofumi**
This is the Spirit Tortoise's heart?
**[11:38] Kyo**
I didn't expect you to
come all the way here.
**[11:49] Kyo**
I mean, the idea had occurred
to me, but I'm still amazed.
**[11:59] Kyo**
I guess I should introduce myself.
**[12:01] Kyo**
My name is Kyo Ethnina,
**[12:05] Kyo**
and I am the wielder of the Book vassal weapon.
**[12:09] Naofumi**
The Book vassal weapon?
**[12:25] Kyo**
You're not even going to say hello? Losers.
**[12:29] Naofumi**
That's not his real body?
**[12:30] Kyo**
You're the Shield Hero?
**[12:33] Kyo**
You brought a whole crowd with you, huh?
**[12:35] Kyo**
Is that supposed to be your harem?
**[12:38] Naofumi**
If you're going to try and provoke me,
**[12:39] Naofumi**
come out from your safe hiding spot first.
**[12:48] Kyo**
I guess that's why the Shield
Hero's so famous in this world.
**[12:52] Kyo**
You've got pretty high provoke resistance,
**[12:54] Kyo**
unlike the three moron heroes.
**[12:57] Naofumi**
Provoke resistance?
**[13:02] Naofumi**
Do you know something
about the three heroes?
**[13:05] Kyo**
Do you think I'd tell you if I did?
**[13:08] Kyo**
Stop asking other people for help
and find out for yourself, moron.
**[13:14] Kyo**
Oh, but I can tell you about them!
**[13:16] Kyo**
Those muscle-brained idiots who came all
the way from another world to defeat me!
**[13:23] Naofumi**
You mean L'Arc's party?
**[13:25] Kyo**
That's right.
**[13:26] Kyo**
They're going around destroying
the Spirit Tortoise's hearts.
**[13:31] Kyo**
Fake hearts that keep multiplying
the more they're destroyed!
**[13:39] L'Arc**
Damn it!
**[13:39] L'Arc**
How many hearts does this thing have?
**[13:44] Therese**
No, L'Arc, these are...
**[13:50] Glass**
It looks like we fell for his trap.
**[13:52] L'Arc**
What?
**[13:55] Kyo**
They really are a bunch of
dumbasses, aren't they?
**[13:58] Naofumi**
Talking to you reminds me of being back home.
**[14:02] Kyo**
Yeah?
**[14:03] Kyo**
Not like I care.
**[14:05] Kyo**
Can you tell me what you want? I'm a busy guy.
**[14:09] Naofumi**
Looks like I don't even need
to ask if you're behind this.
**[14:17] Naofumi**
I'll make this quick.
**[14:19] Naofumi**
Release your control of the Spirit Tortoise
and give back the souls you stole.
**[14:24] Kyo**
Is that an order? A request?
**[14:26] Kyo**
Whichever it is, you moron, you know
I'm not going to say, "Sure, got it," right?
**[14:32] Naofumi**
I could not care less what you're planning.
**[14:35] Naofumi**
But do it in your own world.
**[14:38] Kyo**
Are you stupid?
**[14:40] Kyo**
I'm doing it in this shithole of a world 'cause
it would be too much work to do it there!
**[14:44] Filo**
I don't like this person!
**[14:46] Raphtalia**
I agree, Filo. I don't like him either.
**[14:49] Ost**
If you think that makes sense,
**[14:52] Ost**
then you should expect the people
of this world to resist you.
**[14:56] Kyo**
You don't shut up, do you?
**[15:03] Ost**
This world's fate will be decided by the
Four Heroes who were summoned here.
**[15:09] Ost**
And that's why you're
going to give them back.
**[15:12] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise, and the souls you stole.
**[15:15] Ost**
This is my will, and the will
of the Spirit Tortoise itself.
**[15:21] Kyo**
Oh, okay! I get it.
**[15:25] Kyo**
You were the easiest to
understand of them all.
**[15:33] Kyo**
Okay, good luck, then.
**[15:40] Ost**
No!
**[15:45] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[15:54] Ost**
What was that?
**[15:55] Ost**
The heart's self-defense system activated!
**[16:00] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[16:07] Filo**
Spiral Strike!
**[16:16] Filo**
Ost-oneechan!
**[16:18] Ost**
Don't worry about me!
**[16:19] Ost**
Keep attacking!
**[16:22] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[16:45] Rishia**
Ost-san!
**[16:46] Rishia**
Ost-san!
**[17:28] Ost**
This is...
**[17:48] Ost**
So that's it.
**[18:03] Rishia**
Ost-san!
**[18:05] Rishia**
Ost-san! Wake up!
**[18:08] Rishia**
No... Ost-san!
**[18:11] Rishia**
I didn't get a chance to say goodbye!
**[18:20] Rishia**
Ost-san!
**[18:22] Ost**
I'm fine, Rishia-san!
**[18:24] Ost**
Raphtalia-san, too.
**[18:26] Ost**
No, it would be better if it wasn't okay.
**[18:30] Naofumi**
Ost, if you're alive...
**[18:35] Ost**
Yes.
**[18:36] Ost**
Even with its head cut off and its heart
destroyed, the Spirit Tortoise remains alive.
**[18:43] Ost**
But...
**[18:47] Filo**
It's beautiful!
**[18:49] Filo**
I remembered everything.
**[18:52] Filo**
About the Spirit Tortoise. And myself.
**[18:59] Ost**
I, Ost Hourai, give my orders
to the heavens and the earth.
**[19:02] Ost**
Sever the laws of reality, bind them together,
and make them spit out the pus within.
**[19:07] Ost**
I command myself to reveal the
path to my deepest depths!
**[19:15] Raphtalia**
Ost-san!
**[19:16] Raphtalia**
That spell...
**[19:19] Ost**
Hurry! The Spirit Tortoise
is about to revive!
**[19:53] L'Arc**
What?
**[19:54] Glass**
What is this?
**[20:00] Elrasla**
The Spirit Tortoise!
**[20:36] Kyo**
What a pain in the ass.
**[20:38] Kyo**
I was hoping you wouldn't show up.
**[20:40] Kyo**
Well, welcome to the Spirit Tortoise's
deepest depths, I guess!
**[20:47] Kyo**
I'm seriously shocked you actually
came all this way, though. Seriously.
**[20:54] Kyo**
You were kind of freaking me out back there.
**[20:58] Raphtalia**
What is he saying?
**[21:00] Kyo**
Your tiny brain still hasn't figured it out?
**[21:03] Kyo**
Looks like the Shield Hero and
the green-haired girl have.
**[21:12] Filo**
What is it, Master?
**[21:17] Kyo**
I guess you'd have to be a total moron not
to figure it out after all that's happened.
**[21:21] Kyo**
But if you're that dumb,
**[21:22] Kyo**
you probably couldn't have done anything
even if you had figured it out!
**[21:28] Raphtalia**
No...
**[21:29] Kyo**
Yeah. If you had just killed her,
**[21:32] Kyo**
you wouldn't have needed
to come all the way here,
**[21:35] Kyo**
or let those weak-ass soldiers die!
**[21:39] Kyo**
That's not the Spirit Tortoise's familiar.
**[21:42] Kyo**
It's connected to the
Spirit Tortoise's core.
**[21:44] Kyo**
You could say it's the
Spirit Tortoise itself!

**[00:00] Raphtalia**
Ost-san isn't the Spirit Tortoise's familiar?
**[00:04] Raphtalia**
She's the Spirit Tortoise itself?
**[00:07] Kyo**
Think about it.
**[00:10] Kyo**
If she was a familiar, she'd be under
my control, just like the bats and yetis.
**[00:17] Kyo**
I'm surprised that the Guardian Beast
in this world had that power.
**[00:22] Kyo**
But whatever.
**[00:27] Kyo**
Time to finish this up.
**[00:30] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise's head and
heart have been regenerated!
**[00:43] Mirelia**
It's time.
**[00:46] Eclair**
It was an honor to serve
under you, Your Majesty.
**[00:55] Naofumi**
A barrier?
**[00:58] Ost**
To break it, you'll need to destroy its
head and heart again, this time at once.
**[01:05] Naofumi**
It's taken so many souls it
can regenerate this fast?
**[01:09] Kyo**
That's what you'd think, right?
**[01:13] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama?
**[01:15] Kyo**
These guys were weak as shit, but their
Cardinal Weapons were the real thing!
**[01:20] Kyo**
I used them as a backup power source,
so now they're actually useful for once!
**[01:24] Kyo**
I'm going to drain them
till they're dead and dry!
**[01:30] Rishia**
How awful...
**[01:31] Kyo**
So, I'll be getting back to my hunt.
**[01:35] Kyo**
As a reward for making it this far, I'll give
you front row seats as I squash them flat!
**[01:51] Eclair**
That's...

**[02:34] Naofumi**
Fitoria? What's she doing here?
**[02:37] Filo**
Um... uh...
**[02:40] Filo**
"I'm sorry I'm late.
**[02:42] Filo**
Now that all this has happened..."
**[02:44] Fitoria**
I will aid the Shield Hero.
**[02:55] Fitoria**
I will take the head of the
Guardian Beast, the Spirit Tortoise.
**[03:01] Filo**
Match my timing and destroy its heart!
**[03:04] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise must have realized that
I can no longer fulfill my original function.
**[03:10] Naofumi**
I see.
**[03:11] Kyo**
Okay, okay. The Filolial Queen, huh?
**[03:14] Kyo**
I just have to keep you from
getting to the heart, I guess.
**[03:22] L'arc**
Hey, where's the real heart?
**[03:25] L'arc**
Huh? Lad?
**[03:27] Naofumi**
L'Arc!
**[03:29] Kyo**
How many walls did you have
to smash to get here?
**[03:33] Kyo**
That's the problem with you meatheads.
**[03:35] Glass**
I swear by my vassal weapon
that I will stop you.
**[03:41] Kyo**
You guys are gonna destroy
this world anyway.
**[03:45] L'arc**
Well, yes...
**[03:48] Kyo**
Then we should want to get as many
souls as we can first, right?
**[03:53] Kyo**
Is there a problem with that?
**[03:56] L'arc**
There's a big problem!
**[03:57] L'arc**
Our vassal weapons are telling us
not to do something so disgusting!
**[04:02] L'arc**
Can't you hear it, too?
**[04:04] Kyo**
I'm not a slave to my
vassal weapon, unlike you.
**[04:09] Kyo**
I just need to be able to
use it when I want to!
**[04:16] Kyo**
Composition Form One: Bird of Flame!
**[04:20] Naofumi**
Move!
**[04:31] Kyo**
Of course, I've got the same barrier
as the Spirit Tortoise's core.
**[04:37] Kyo**
It uses the power of the three heroic stooges.
**[04:50] Kyo**
And I need their power to make my
own personal giant monster movie, too.
**[04:56] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[05:00] Naofumi**
Damn it!
**[05:03] Fitoria**
The same attack, again and again.
**[05:22] Fitoria**
Not bad!
**[05:30] Mirelia**
Sound the retreat.
**[05:32] Lowhirot Officer**
But...
**[05:33] Mirelia**
Fitoria-sama can't fight with her
full strength as long as we're here.
**[05:38] Fitoria**
Good.
**[05:39] Fitoria**
Get as far away as you can.
**[05:48] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[05:52] L'arc**
First Stance: Wind Blowout!
**[06:01] Filo**
She says we need to hurry
up and destroy the head
**[06:04] Filo**
and heart to remove the barrier from the core!
**[06:06] Naofumi**
I know!
**[06:07] Glass**
Is that right?
**[06:09] L'Arc**
Then this time, we'll destroy the real one!
**[06:13] Ost**
I'll open the path to the core...
**[06:15] Kyo**
You know I'm not letting that happen.
**[06:21] Kyo**
Yup. The Spirit Tortoise's favorite.
Gravity attacks.
**[06:25] Kyo**
And since I don't want you to think I'm
helpless without the three stooges' power,
**[06:30] Kyo**
let me show you something.
**[06:34] Kyo**
Pretty, huh?
**[06:36] Kyo**
This is the power of the souls I used
the Spirit Tortoise to gather up!
**[06:43] Kyo**
Scary!
**[06:45] Kyo**
Don't get so mad. See?
**[06:51] Kyo**
Once I've killed these guys and taken
all the souls I can from this world,
**[06:55] Kyo**
I'll leave you alone!
**[06:58] Ost**
Stop it...
**[06:59] Ost**
Stop!
**[07:02] Kyo**
Nope! Not gonna stop!
**[07:06] Kyo**
Come on, where'd all that
strength you had go?
**[07:10] Kyo**
All your pretty little friends
are about to get squashed flat!
**[07:19] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[07:23] Kyo**
But that'd be a waste, wouldn't it?
**[07:26] Kyo**
I'll leave you to enjoy your
new life as a pancake,
**[07:29] Kyo**
and take them back to my world!
**[07:31] Naofumi**
Screw you...
**[07:33] Raphtalia**
Stop it...
**[07:35] Raphtalia**
Get your foot off Naofumi-sama!
**[07:40] Kyo**
She's crying!
**[07:42] Kyo**
The demi-human's crying! So cute!
**[07:45] Kyo**
If only you'd killed the Spirit Tortoise's
avatar, this wouldn't have happened!
**[07:51] Kyo**
Man, this Shield Hero
sure is a useless loser!
**[07:55] Filo**
No! Stop!
**[07:57] Kyo**
Quit your squealing, bitch!
**[07:59] Kyo**
So this dumbass is really
that important to you?
**[08:02] Kyo**
Shut up so I can kill him quick!
**[08:05] Rishia**
Stop it!
**[08:13] Rishia**
You... coward!
**[08:22] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san?
**[08:24] Filo**
Rishia-oneechan...
**[08:26] Kyo**
Who the hell are you?
**[08:28] Kyo**
A moment ago you were just
whimpering in the background.
**[08:32] Kyo**
Wuss!
**[08:34] Rishia**
That's right.
**[08:35] Rishia**
I'm a wuss. I can't do anything.
**[08:39] Rishia**
So...
**[08:40] Rishia**
I understand.
**[08:42] Kyo**
Understand what?
**[08:44] Kyo**
And wait, how can you walk?
**[08:46] Rishia**
You're the same as me.
**[08:50] Rishia**
You're relying on the power of others.
**[08:54] Rishia**
You're not an amazing person at all!
**[08:57] Kyo**
Who the hell do you think you are?
**[08:59] Kyo**
You wouldn't know just how awesome I am!
**[09:16] Rishia**
I know.
**[09:17] Rishia**
I know that you're actually weak.
**[09:20] Rishia**
That's why you pretend to be strong.
**[09:23] Rishia**
You try to intimidate your enemies,
like a little animal puffing out its fur!
**[09:33] Naofumi**
Rishia...
**[09:36] Kyo**
What? You're all talk, huh?
**[09:44] Kyo**
Damn you!
**[09:52] Kyo**
Where did you go?
**[09:54] Rishia**
I'm weak, too.
**[09:57] Rishia**
My body, my heart...
**[09:58] Rishia**
Especially compared to Naofumi-san,
Raphtalia-san, Filo-chan, and Ost-san.
**[10:05] Rishia**
But I'll never lose to somebody like you.
**[10:09] Kyo**
Shut up...
**[10:10] Naofumi**
Rishia... How is she...
**[10:13] Ost**
Shield Hero...
**[10:19] Ost**
I, the Spirit Tortoise, give my orders
to the heavens and the earth.
**[10:23] Ost**
Sever the laws of reality, bind them together,
and make them spit out the pus within.
**[10:27] Ost**
My power...
**[10:29] Ost**
I give you the power of the Spirit Tortoise.
**[10:34] Naofumi**
I, the Shield Hero, take upon myself
the power of the Spirit Tortoise,
**[10:38] Naofumi**
and give my orders to the
heavens and the earth.
**[10:40] Naofumi**
Sever the laws of reality, bind them together,
and make them spit out the pus within.
**[10:43] Naofumi**
Power of the ley lines, manifest my
magic and the power of the hero.
**[10:48] Naofumi**
As the source of thy power,
the Shield Hero, I order thee.
**[10:52] Naofumi**
Unravel the mysteries of all things...
**[10:55] Kyo**
Where are you!?
**[10:56] Naofumi**
...and give them everything!
**[10:59] Naofumi**
All Liberation Aura!
**[11:08] Kyo**
This world's most powerful magic?!
**[11:25] Ost**
Now!
**[11:27] L'Arc**
Thanks!
**[11:29] Naofumi**
Filo, go with them!
**[11:31] Filo**
Roger!
**[11:36] Kyo**
You little...
**[11:37] Kyo**
I won't let you!
**[11:38] Rishia**
Your opponent...
**[11:42] Rishia**
is me!
**[11:46] Kyo**
I'm getting real sick of you!
**[11:49] L'Arc**
What are you doing here, Little Miss Filo?
**[11:52] Filo**
I can talk with Fitoria!
**[11:55] Therese**
Fitoria... the Filolial Queen?
**[11:58] Glass**
Makes sense.
**[12:01] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, are you okay?
**[12:03] Naofumi**
I guess.
**[12:05] Naofumi**
But her...
**[12:07] Naofumi**
We were only barely able
to move with Ost's help.
**[12:11] Naofumi**
So how...?
**[12:12] Naofumi**
She was the only one of us who could
handle that supergravity attack.
**[12:16] Naofumi**
Is that what the old lady
meant by manipulating ki?
**[12:23] Kyo**
You...
**[12:25] Rishia**
I told you.
**[12:27] Rishia**
You rely too much on your power.
**[12:29] Rishia**
Your attacks are simplistic,
**[12:32] Rishia**
so even I can dodge them.
**[12:34] Kyo**
Simplistic, huh?
**[12:37] Kyo**
Thanks for the advice.
**[12:39] Kyo**
I'll use those simplistic
attacks to kill you, then!
**[12:42] Kyo**
Composition of Flame!
**[13:03] Kyo**
What?
**[13:04] Rishia**
And you're a trickster.
**[13:07] Rishia**
You have a twisted mind, and love
to lie and deceive people.
**[13:16] Kyo**
I shouldn't have tried to
fight you like a moron!
**[13:18] Kyo**
I should've done this from the start!
**[13:20] Rishia**
You're an idiot to try and
take hostages at this point.
**[13:33] Rishia**
I don't want to forgive you, but if
you surrender now, I won't kill you.
**[13:40] Kyo**
Who the hell do you think you are?
**[13:43] Kyo**
I'd rather kill you and then die!
**[13:54] Naofumi**
Rishia hasn't just learned to use ki.
**[13:58] Raphtalia**
She's like a totally different person.
**[14:00] Ost**
Shield Hero...
**[14:02] Ost**
I ask you again.
**[14:05] Ost**
Please, kill me.
**[14:09] Naofumi**
But...
**[14:10] Ost**
Rishia-san is right.
**[14:12] Ost**
Kyo Ethnina is a liar to the end.
**[14:17] Naofumi**
What do you mean?
**[14:23] L'Arc**
The real heart is this tough?
**[14:26] Therese**
L'Arc, stop complaining and destroy it!
**[14:29] Filo**
Fitoria says to hurry up, too!
**[14:31] L'Arc**
I know!
**[14:35] Fitoria**
He's using the souls he stole?
**[14:38] Fitoria**
Even if I dodge it, it will
destroy the entire city.
**[14:52] Fitoria**
Multi-caster ritual magic?
**[15:03] Filo**
Fan lady!
**[15:05] Glass**
What's this?
**[15:06] Filo**
Master gave it to me!
**[15:09] L'Arc**
Nice work, lad.
**[15:14] Glass**
Let's go, Therese.
**[15:16] Therese**
Right!
**[15:18] Therese**
I beseech thee,
power of jewels far and wide...
**[15:20] Glass**
Zero-Stance Rondo...
**[15:31] Mirelia**
It's not working after all?
**[15:32] Fitoria**
No.
**[15:33] Fitoria**
Well done!
**[15:58] Filo**
Now!
**[15:59] Therese**
Bejeweled Blizzard!
**[16:01] Glass**
Zero-Stance Rondo: Reverse Four Seasons!
**[16:15] Rishia**
The barrier!
**[16:19] Kyo**
Damn it all!
**[16:25] Kyo**
Just kidding.
**[16:29] Kyo**
Did you really think I hadn't put
together a plan just in case?
**[16:33] Rishia**
No...
**[16:37] Kyo**
It's an emergency measure that uses the
souls' power to defend the core, but oh well.
**[16:42] Kyo**
As long as I can see your faces twisting
with despair, that's enough for...
**[16:48] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[16:51] (Flashback) Ost**
Kyo Ethnina is a liar to the end.
**[16:54] (Flashback) Ost**
I think he still has a plan.
**[16:58] (Flashback) Ost**
I am one with the core.
**[17:01] (Flashback) Ost**
When that happens, use all your
power to destroy me completely!
**[17:11] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, when I can't
move anymore, it's up to you.
**[17:16] Raphtalia**
Okay.
**[17:19] Naofumi**
Foolish sinner, I sentence you to cast
your screams unto the heavens!
**[17:24] Kyo**
Hey, hey, hey! Stop it, you moron!
**[17:26] Naofumi**
Within the dragon's jaws
born from my flesh...
**[17:30] Kyo**
No!
**[17:31] Naofumi**
...become an offering to the
gods as you howl.
**[17:41] Naofumi**
I don't... have any hatred to unleash on you.
**[17:54] Kyo**
What the hell?
**[17:56] Kyo**
All that build-up and you just stopped?
**[17:59] Kyo**
You're letting all the work Mr. Scythe
and the big bird did go to waste?
**[18:03] Kyo**
Seriously? You're kidding me!
**[18:11] Ost**
That's fine.
**[18:13] Ost**
Shield Hero, it's fine.
**[18:16] Ost**
Now, the time has come for the power
I left within the shield to take form.
***SIGN*** The Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield has been force-unlocked.
**[18:28] Naofumi**
The Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield?
**[18:45] Naofumi**
Ost, what did you do?
**[18:49] Naofumi**
No...
**[18:52] Naofumi**
Stop!
**[18:53] Kyo**
Don't!
**[18:54] Naofumi**
*Stop*!
**[19:29] Raphtalia**
Ost-san!
**[19:38] Filo**
Ost-oneechan!
**[19:43] Kyo**
Now you've done it!
**[19:45] Kyo**
It's all ruined! All my hard work!
**[19:50] Naofumi**
You...
**[19:52] Kyo**
That's a lie. I succeeded in
my real goal, so whatever.
**[19:57] L'Arc**
What are you talking about?
**[19:59] Kyo**
Did you think that once
you destroyed the core,
**[20:01] Kyo**
the souls inside would spread out across
the world and head up to heaven?
**[20:05] Kyo**
Too bad!
**[20:06] Kyo**
I kept the bare minimum here,
just so that wouldn't happen!
**[20:13] Kyo**
All right, I'll be going!
**[20:21] Glass**
That's...
**[20:22] Kyo**
Shield Hero!
**[20:24] Kyo**
And green-hair.
**[20:26] Kyo**
I'm going to kill you.
**[20:29] Kyo**
Have fun until then.
**[20:32] L'Arc**
Wait!
**[20:35] L'Arc**
Damn it!
**[20:37] Naofumi**
Ost... Why?
**[20:41] Ost**
You weren't swallowed up by rage and sorrow.
**[20:44] Ost**
That's why the Spirit Tortoise's
Heart Shield was unlocked.
**[20:48] Naofumi**
I don't understand. Explain.
**[20:51] Ost**
You don't need to use that terrifying
shield stained with hatred anymore.
**[20:57] Naofumi**
The Wrath Shield...
**[21:00] Ost**
I have taken many lives,
and you're still sad at my passing.
**[21:06] Ost**
Kind, gentle Shield Hero...
**[21:08] Ost**
Please, don't forget what you feel now.
**[21:11] Naofumi**
No... No, I'm not kind!
**[21:14] L'Arc**
Lad!
**[21:16] Therese**
It looks like this is
connected to our world,
**[21:20] Therese**
but it's about to close.
**[21:22] Glass**
The rest is our job now.
**[21:25] Glass**
We will defeat Kyo and bring
the souls back to this world.
**[21:29] L'Arc**
Yeah. Leave the rest to us.
**[21:32] L'Arc**
Bye!
***SIGN*** Forbidden Action
The Four Cardinal Heroes cannot invade another world.
**[21:46] Naofumi**
What the hell?
**[21:48] Ost**
Go!
***SIGN*** Special Permission
Invasion of another world by the Four Heroes is now allowed under certain conditions.
**[21:56] Ost**
You need to hurry, or it will close!
**[21:59] Raphtalia**
Ost-san!
**[21:59] Filo**
Ost-oneechan!
**[22:01] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Filo!
**[22:03] Naofumi**
What are you doing?
**[22:04] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[22:07] Naofumi**
Our comrade's asking us to!
**[22:09] Naofumi**
We can't let L'Arc and
his friends handle this!
**[22:19] Naofumi**
Rishia, you stay with Itsuki...
**[22:21] Rishia**
No!
**[22:23] Rishia**
I'm your comrade! And Ost-san's!
**[22:27] Rishia**
I'm going, too!
**[22:35] Ost**
*Comrade...*
**[22:37] Ost**
*Comrade, huh?*
**[22:40] Ost**
* If I'm ever reborn... this time,*
* I want to truly be their comrade.*
**[22:46] Ost**
*I pray...*
**[22:48] Ost**
*that there be joy...*
**[22:53] Ost**
*at the end of the Shield Hero's path.*

**[00:19] Rishia**
...san!
**[00:21] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[00:22] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[00:26] Naofumi**
Rishia?
**[00:28] Rishia**
I'm so glad you're awake!
**[00:30] Rishia**
I kept calling your name,
and you wouldn't get up!
**[00:33] Naofumi**
Where are we?
**[00:38] Rishia**
When I woke up, you were
the only one with me.
**[00:42] Naofumi**
Where are Raphtalia and Filo?
**[00:44] Rishia**
It looks like it's just us.
**[00:46] Naofumi**
I see.
**[00:49] Naofumi**
What is this shield?
**[00:51] Rishia**
It looked like that when I woke up.
**[00:54] Naofumi**
I've never seen it before.
**[00:56] Naofumi**
What is it?
**[00:58] Rishia**
Naofumi-san?
**[01:00] Naofumi**
My level's dropped back to 1.
***SIGN*** Transformation Requirements Not Met
**[01:09] Naofumi**
So has yours, Rishia.
**[01:15] Naofumi**
You can make weird screams if you want.
**[01:21] Naofumi**
So is this all Kyo's doing?
**[01:23] Naofumi**
Raphtalia and Filo not being here...
Our levels resetting...
**[01:27] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[01:31] Raphtalia**
I'm so glad you're safe! And Rishia-san, too!
**[01:35] Raphtalia**
Where's Filo? I can't see her anywhere.
**[01:38] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, your...
**[01:43] Naofumi**
Your body!
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
**[03:24] Naofumi**
It's open?
**[03:26] Naofumi**
We weren't locked in?
***SIGN*** Episode 7 Infinite Labyrinth
**[03:28] Rishia**
I don't see any guards either.
**[03:30] Rishia**
And we still have our weapons.
**[03:38] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, that's too heavy for you.
**[03:40] Raphtalia**
B-But it's my only weapon.
**[03:56] Raphtalia**
What?
**[03:57] Naofumi**
I was just remembering when we met.
**[04:00] Raphtalia**
I m-may be back to Level 1,
and I may be smaller,
**[04:05] Raphtalia**
but I'm still your sword!
**[04:08] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[04:10] Naofumi**
It's totally different than it was then.
**[04:20] Rishia**
Naofumi-san! Raphtalia-san!
**[04:24] Rishia**
Looks like somebody lives here.
**[04:27] Raphtalia**
There's even a stove.
**[04:29] Naofumi**
Does this belong to the
person who brought us here?
**[04:31] Rishia**
Maybe, but why live in a prison?
**[04:38] Raphtalia**
Does that lead outside?
**[04:40] Rishia**
Something looks very wrong.
**[04:42] Naofumi**
But we have to go.
**[04:48] Rishia**
W-Wait!
**[05:14] Naofumi**
This place is strange.
**[05:16] Raphtalia**
Strange?
**[05:18] Naofumi**
There are waves,
**[05:22] Naofumi**
but no wind.
**[05:26] Raphtalia**
And the coast is strange, too!
**[05:28] Raphtalia**
It's like there's nothing
out beyond the horizon!
**[05:34] Naofumi**
So it's suicide to go out into the water.
***SIGN*** Monster Crest out of Detection Range
**[05:50] Naofumi**
It doesn't look like Filo's
anywhere around here.
**[05:53] Naofumi**
She may not be stuck in
this weird space with us.
**[05:57] Raphtalia**
Filo...
**[05:59] Rishia**
S-She'll be just fine!
**[06:01] Rishia**
Knowing her, she's probably
having a lot of fun somewhere!
**[06:05] Raphtalia**
Do you think so?
**[06:07] Raphtalia**
What if we don't find her?
**[06:09] Raphtalia**
She's never been in a situation like that...
**[06:14] Naofumi**
We need to get out of here and find her.
**[06:18] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[06:25] Naofumi**
Cardboard?
**[06:32] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[06:34] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[06:44] Raphtalia**
A-Are you okay?
**[06:46] Naofumi**
Yeah, I'm not hurt at all.
***SIGN*** New Shield Unlocked
**[06:54] Naofumi**
White Cardboard?
**[06:56] Naofumi**
I've never seen this one before.
**[06:58] Naofumi**
Is it like an Orange Balloon?
**[07:03] Naofumi**
Looks like we get XP, too.
**[07:05] Naofumi**
We should raise our levels a bit.
**[07:08] Raphtalia**
Yeah.
**[07:09] Naofumi**
You too, Rishia.
**[07:11] Rishia**
O-Okay!
***SIGN*** Big-Face Rabbit
**[07:45] Rishia**
I feel so much more alive!
**[07:47] Raphtalia**
We're lucky the water's drinkable, huh?
**[07:50] Naofumi**
There's no point in fighting so
many low-level enemies.
**[07:53] Rishia**
Drinking that water made me hungry!
**[07:56] Raphtalia**
I'm actually pretty hungry, too.
**[08:07] Rishia**
A kappa?
**[08:09] Rishia**
Wait, Raphtalia!
**[08:23] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[08:24] Naofumi**
Run! You can't fight him at your level!
**[08:43] Raphtalia**
Let go of Naofumi-sama!
**[08:47] Raphtalia**
Take this! Take this!
**[08:54] Naofumi**
Wait!
**[08:57] Kizuna**
Slaughter Wire!
**[09:07] Kizuna**
You okay?
**[09:11] Kizuna**
I take my eyes off you for
a second, and look how far you get.
**[09:14] Kizuna**
You could've died, you know.
**[09:16] Naofumi**
Who are you?
**[09:20] Kizuna**
Kizuna. Kazayama Kizuna.
**[09:24] Kizuna**
One of the Four Cardinal Heroes.
The Hunting Hero.
**[09:30] Naofumi**
Four Cardinal Heroes? Hunting Hero?
**[09:36] Kizuna**
I gave you my name. Give me yours.
**[09:40] Naofumi**
Iwatani Naofumi. One of the Four
Cardinal Heroes. The Shield Hero.
**[09:45] Kizuna**
You're a Cardinal Hero, too?
**[09:47] Kizuna**
I've never heard of a Shield Hero.
**[09:50] Naofumi**
And I've never heard of a Hunting Hero.
**[09:54] Kizuna**
And that name... Are you Japanese?
**[09:59] Naofumi**
You are too, right?
**[10:02] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[10:03] Naofumi**
You took a lot of damage,
considering your heavy armor.
**[10:06] Naofumi**
It looks kind it's bugging out, actually.
***SIGN*** Barbarian Armor
**[10:11] Naofumi**
My defense values are bugging out, too.
**[10:14] Naofumi**
Is it because my level's not
high enough to use this item?
**[10:18] Kizuna**
I guess we need to treat your wounds
before we talk about anything else.
**[10:27] Kizuna**
I see. So you're a Cardinal Hero
in another world, Naofumi?
**[10:32] Kizuna**
Oh, is it okay if I call you Naofumi?
**[10:34] Naofumi**
Call me what you like. I'll do the same.
**[10:40] Kizuna**
Um, Raphtalia-chan and Rishia-san, right?
**[10:44] Kizuna**
You're lucky, Naofumi, to have
comrades who care about you so much.
**[10:49] Naofumi**
Are you all alone?
**[10:51] Kizuna**
I have some, too.
**[10:53] Kizuna**
But I haven't seen them for years.
Ever since I got locked up in here.
**[10:58] Naofumi**
Locked up?
**[10:59] Kizuna**
Oh, I kinda screwed up and got
captured by an enemy country.
**[11:04] Naofumi**
Why would you capture a Cardinal Hero?
**[11:07] Naofumi**
How would you deal with the Waves?
**[11:09] Kizuna**
Waves? What are those?
**[11:12] Naofumi**
You don't know what the Waves are?
**[11:13] Naofumi**
We Cardinal Heroes are
summoned to fight them!
**[11:18] Kizuna**
Looks like you and I were
summoned for different reasons.
**[11:23] Naofumi**
L'Arc and Glass knew all
about them, at least.
**[11:28] Kizuna**
What did you say?
**[11:31] Naofumi**
L'Arc and Glass?
**[11:33] Naofumi**
I think they're from another world, like yours.
**[11:36] Kizuna**
You know L'Arc-niisan? And Glass, too?
**[11:39] Kizuna**
She's my best friend!
**[11:42] Raphtalia**
Best friend?
**[11:43] Rishia**
That scary woman with the
fans is your best friend?
**[11:48] Kizuna**
That's right!
**[11:49] Naofumi**
You're best friends with that monster?
**[11:52] Naofumi**
How old are you?
**[11:53] Kizuna**
Monster? And I'm 18.
**[12:02] Naofumi**
Are you a loli h—
**[12:04] Naofumi**
No...
**[12:05] Kizuna**
You were just about to say "loli hag"!
**[12:08] Naofumi**
So you do know what it means.
**[12:10] Kizuna**
Of course I do!
**[12:12] Rishia**
Loli?
**[12:13] Raphtalia**
Hag?
**[12:18] Kizuna**
Sorry. You're hungry, right?
**[12:20] Kizuna**
Let's eat.
**[12:21] Naofumi**
Wait.
**[12:22] Naofumi**
Why would I want to eat with some
untrustworthy girl I just met?
**[12:26] Kizuna**
Why wouldn't you?
**[12:28] Kizuna**
I did save your lives.
**[12:30] Kizuna**
And we're both Cardinal Heroes.
**[12:32] Naofumi**
You're even more untrustworthy now that
I'm hearing you're friends with Glass.
**[12:36] Naofumi**
You could turn on us at any moment.
**[12:38] Kizuna**
Naofumi, what did those guys ever do to you?
**[12:45] Kizuna**
Fine...
**[12:48] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[13:02] Kizuna**
My Cardinal Weapon can
attack people, but can't hurt them.
**[13:12] Kizuna**
You understand now, right?
**[13:14] Kizuna**
I can't hurt you.
**[13:21] Kizuna**
So let's eat!
**[13:27] Kizuna**
I brought us plenty to chow down on.
**[13:29] Kizuna**
And I can cut them up with this!
**[13:31] Naofumi**
No, I'll do it.
**[13:34] Kizuna**
I'm not going to poison it.
**[13:36] Naofumi**
It's a question of who's the better chef.
**[13:43] Kizuna**
Wow, this looks great!
**[13:46] Kizuna**
Maybe I was right to let you do the cooking!
**[13:52] Naofumi**
Let's eat, then.
**[13:54] Kizuna**
Let's eat!
**[14:11] Kizuna**
That was great.
**[14:12] Rishia**
Thank you for the meal.
**[14:14] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, don't tell me
you haven't eaten enough!
**[14:19] Raphtalia**
N-No! Definitely not!
**[14:22] Naofumi**
You used to eat all the time
when we first met, too.
**[14:26] Raphtalia**
D-Demihumans grow fast when they
level up, and it makes us really hungry.
**[14:31] Naofumi**
So you are hungry.
**[14:35] Kizuna**
You're in your growing years, Raphtalia-chan.
**[14:37] Naofumi**
Hang on. I'll make some more for you.
**[14:40] Raphtalia**
Thank you...
**[14:42] Kizuna**
I'm glad you came! Now I'll have
lots of good things to eat!
**[14:49] Naofumi**
We're leaving.
**[14:52] Kizuna**
You can't.
**[14:54] Naofumi**
What?
**[14:55] Kizuna**
This is the Infinite Labyrinth.
A temporal prison.
**[14:58] Kizuna**
Once you're inside, you can never leave.
**[15:02] Raphtalia**
Never?
**[15:04] Naofumi**
How long have you been here?
**[15:07] Kizuna**
No idea.
**[15:08] Kizuna**
I used to count, for the first few years.
**[15:10] Kizuna**
But then I stopped.
**[15:15] Kizuna**
That doesn't mean I've given up, though.
**[15:18] Kizuna**
I've spent every day for
years looking for a way out.
**[15:24] Kizuna**
But I've never found one.
**[15:26] Naofumi**
Do you expect us to believe you
and just stay here forever?
**[15:31] Kizuna**
Nope.
**[15:33] Kizuna**
I'll show you around.
**[15:35] Kizuna**
But this place has night and day, too.
**[15:38] Kizuna**
It's late tonight. Let's go in the morning.
**[15:42] Kizuna**
Stay here.
**[15:43] Kizuna**
It doesn't look like much,
but the monsters can't get in here.
**[15:48] Raphtalia**
How long has Kizuna-san spent here alone?
**[15:53] Rishia**
I couldn't handle it.
**[15:56] Raphtalia**
Me neither.
**[15:58] Rishia**
If we can't leave either...
**[16:02] Naofumi**
We can't stay here.
**[16:05] Naofumi**
We need to find Filo and
get vengeance for Ost.
**[16:12] Kizuna**
It got to me pretty bad when they told
me I'd spend the rest of my life here.
**[16:17] Kizuna**
"I'm staying here all alone? Forever?"
**[16:20] Kizuna**
I was in a pretty bad mood.
**[16:22] Kizuna**
I've searched every square inch of the
island. Even tried to go out to sea.
**[16:26] Kizuna**
There was even a time when I thought
I'd just give up and kill myself.
**[16:32] Kizuna**
But I had all the time in the world,
**[16:36] Kizuna**
so I thought I'd keep fighting for as many
years as it took, until I found a way out.
**[16:43] Raphtalia**
You're very strong, Kizuna-san.
**[16:47] Kizuna**
You're so little, but you
sound like a grown-up!
**[16:51] Kizuna**
Well, I want to see Glass
and the others, too.
**[16:59] Kizuna**
After years of searching, I think
this is the most likely place.
**[17:06] Kizuna**
I've taken care of the
monsters here, but be careful.
**[17:10] Naofumi**
If you've done all that,
why can't you leave?
**[17:14] Kizuna**
That's what I've brought you here to see.
**[17:27] Kizuna**
This is it.
**[17:32] Naofumi**
What is this?
**[17:36] Kizuna**
It looks like the door that connects
the prison to the island, right?
**[17:41] Kizuna**
I think this is the far end
of the Infinite Labyrinth.
**[17:45] Kizuna**
There's nothing beyond it.
Just another dimension or something.
**[17:49] Naofumi**
Don't tell me you haven't gone
through 'cause you're too scared.
**[17:53] Kizuna**
Go ahead.
**[18:00] Naofumi**
What is this?
**[18:01] Kizuna**
See? You can't get in.
**[18:03] Kizuna**
This is why I'm stuck.
**[18:06] Raphtalia**
No...
**[18:08] Rishia**
Why?
**[18:09] Kizuna**
I'm sure this is the edge of the space.
**[18:12] Kizuna**
But it's not meant to be an entrance.
**[18:15] Naofumi**
The wall just happened to collapse,
**[18:17] Naofumi**
and reveal that they hadn't
made anything on other side?
**[18:21] Kizuna**
That's right.
**[18:23] Rishia**
What does that mean?
**[18:25] Raphtalia**
I don't really understand, but this
means there's no exit, right?
**[18:31] Naofumi**
It may not be an exit,
but it's a bug, at least.
***SIGN*** Forbidden Action
The Four Cardinal Heroes cannot travel to another world.
Exception Handling Failed
**[18:35] Rishia**
Bug?
**[18:36] Kizuna**
Yeah, that's right.
**[18:39] Naofumi**
Whether it's a 3D game or a 2D side-scroller,
**[18:41] Naofumi**
what do you do when you
find a bugged-out area?
**[18:46] Kizuna**
I'd try to do whatever I could to get in.
**[18:48] Raphtalia**
What are you talking about?
**[18:51] Naofumi**
We might be able to make this work.
**[18:56] Kizuna**
I made it like you said, but what is this?
**[19:01] Naofumi**
You saw the description, right?
It's a Bio Plant Seed.
**[19:05] Naofumi**
I can't do anything to modify
it at my current level.
**[19:09] Kizuna**
It was fun, like strengthening a shikigami!
**[19:12] Kizuna**
So, what do we do with it?
**[19:15] Naofumi**
This!
**[19:22] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, is this...
**[19:24] Naofumi**
We need to get out of here first, everybody!
**[19:36] Raphtalia**
The room's swelling up!
**[19:39] Kizuna**
Can you do that?
**[19:41] Naofumi**
This is the only way for us to
force our way into the bug.
**[19:49] Naofumi**
It's going to burst! Raphtalia, Rishia!
**[19:51] Raphtalia & Rishia**
Right!
**[20:11] Naofumi**
Kizuna!
**[20:13] Naofumi**
Come with us!
**[20:20] Naofumi**
Okay!
**[20:21] Raphtalia**
Kizuna-san!
**[20:22] Rishia**
Kizuna-san!
**[20:48] Naofumi**
It did a great job helping us, but it'll
cause a lot of problems if we let it live.
**[20:53] Raphtalia**
Thank you!
**[21:12] Kizuna**
I'm outside.
**[21:14] Naofumi**
Kizuna?
**[21:16] Kizuna**
I'm outside!
**[21:18] Kizuna**
The outside! I'm outside!
**[21:21] Kizuna**
I'm outside the Infinite
Labyrinth! I'm sure of it!
**[21:24] Kizuna**
This is the world I was summoned to!
**[21:30] Kizuna**
Thank you!
**[21:32] Kizuna**
Thank you, Naofumi!
**[21:34] Kizuna**
It's thanks to you!
**[21:36] Kizuna**
Thank you so much!
**[21:41] Naofumi**
You're too loud.
**[21:45] Kizuna**
I'm finally out!
**[21:47] Kizuna**
I'm finally...
**[21:48] Kizuna**
I'm not alone anymore, am I?
**[21:57] Kizuna**
Hooray!

**[00:07] Kizuna**
Come on!
**[00:08] Rishia**
Okay!
**[00:27] Raphtalia**
Thank you, Naofumi-sama.
**[00:29] Naofumi**
Don't worry about it.
**[00:30] Naofumi**
We need to get out of here before
somebody comes after us.
**[00:38] Kizuna**
So this is the countdown to the waves?
**[00:40] Kizuna**
It says 10 more days?
**[00:42] Naofumi**
There's no time.
**[00:44] Naofumi**
And we've finally made it
to the other world, too.
**[00:48] Naofumi**
Filo's nowhere close to us.
**[00:50] Naofumi**
We've got even more ground to cover, then.
**[00:54] Raphtalia**
Filo…
**[00:55] Kizuna**
Okay, why don't you start by heading to
Sikul, the country that summoned me?
**[01:00] Kizuna**
It's safer than this place.
**[01:02] Naofumi**
How far away is "Sikul"?
**[01:05] Kizuna**
A week on foot?
**[01:07] Raphtalia**
That far?
**[01:09] Kizuna**
And we'd have to go through
a bunch of checkpoints, too.
**[01:12] Kizuna**
And cross several borders.
**[01:14] Naofumi**
Then that's out of the question.
**[01:15] Naofumi**
Got any portal skills?
**[01:17] Kizuna**
I do. It's called "Return Codex."
**[01:20] Kizuna**
But I don't have the tool I need
for it, so I can't use it now.
**[01:24] Naofumi**
So what do we do, then?
**[01:25] Naofumi**
You didn't just suggest this
without a plan, right?
**[01:28] Kizuna**
Right!
**[01:29] Kizuna**
We'll head for the capital
of Mikakage, the country we're in now.
**[01:33] Naofumi**
The capital of the country
that locked you up?
**[01:37] Kizuna**
Hear me out!
**[01:39] Kizuna**
We can use the dragon hourglass
there to warp to Sikul.
**[01:43] Naofumi**
Dragon hourglass?
**[01:46] Kizuna**
Your world has them, too?
**[01:48] Naofumi**
Yes.
**[01:49] Naofumi**
You can't use them for warping, though.
**[01:51] Kizuna**
I see. There are some differences, then.
**[01:54] Kizuna**
We call it Return Dragon Vein,
**[01:56] Kizuna**
and the Cardinal Heroes and Vassal Weapon
Heroes are the only ones who can use it.
**[02:00] Naofumi**
I see.
**[02:01] Naofumi**
So we get to the hourglass and use your power
to warp us such that we can't be followed.
**[02:08] Kizuna**
Yup.
**[02:09] Raphtalia**
Um, how far to the capital?
**[02:11] Kizuna**
It's still two or three days away.
**[02:15] Naofumi**
We'll spend three days on the road,
**[02:17] Naofumi**
leveling and buying weapons,
and then go into the enemy's HQ.
**[02:21] Kizuna**
Oh, there are checkpoints on the
road leading to the capital, too.
**[02:24] Kizuna**
So we'll need to buy a pass.
**[02:30] Naofumi**
So even in another world, I'm back
to being a traveling merchant, huh?

**[04:06] Naofumi**
This country's really Asian-looking.
**[04:08] Kizuna**
Yeah, but some of the
others are more European.
**[04:12] Raphtalia**
Asian? European?
**[04:15] Naofumi**
The clothes are all Japanese,
but there are lots of different races?
**[04:19] Kizuna**
Those are the grass people, or just Grass.
**[04:22] Kizuna**
Demi-humans, like Raphtalia-chan.
**[04:25] Naofumi**
More like elves than demi-humans, I think.
**[04:27] Raphtalia**
Elves?
**[04:29] Kizuna**
Those are the jewel people, or just Jewels.
**[04:33] Kizuna**
Just like Therese-neesan!
**[04:35] Naofumi**
Therese was a different race, too?
**[04:39] Naofumi**
And them? They're not ghosts, right?
**[04:42] Kizuna**
Those are the spirit people, like Glass.
**[04:44] Rishia**
Spirit people?
**[04:46] Kizuna**
Some countries call them Spirits.
**[04:49] Naofumi**
Like Glass?
**[04:51] Kizuna**
Where other races have
life power, magic power,
**[04:54] Kizuna**
and, if you're a vassal weapon
wielder, soul power,
**[04:56] Kizuna**
Spirits only have their energy level.
**[04:59] Naofumi**
Explains why my Soul Eater
Shield hit her so hard.
**[05:03] Kizuna**
Since they're dependent on that energy,
they don't have levels, though.
**[05:08] Rishia**
They don't?
**[05:10] Kizuna**
But that also means Spirits with
lots of energy are very powerful.
**[05:13] Kizuna**
And they're almost entirely incorporeal,
so normal attacks don't hurt them.
**[05:17] Rishia**
So that's why she was so strong.
**[05:20] Kizuna**
Their one weakness is that their
energy can only recover naturally.
**[05:25] Naofumi**
Healing magic and items don't work?
**[05:29] Kizuna**
Nope.
**[05:30] Kizuna**
They receive less benefit from
magic than humans and other races.
**[05:36] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama?
**[05:39] Kizuna**
What's this?
**[05:40] Kizuna**
"We suspect that neighboring countries
are developing new weapons.
**[05:43] Kizuna**
They are breeding powerful monsters."
**[05:46] Rishia**
The monsters are a new weapon?
**[05:48] Kizuna**
They're also trying to research
teleportation technology,
**[05:51] Kizuna**
as well as the teleportation skills
of the Cardinal and vassal weapons.
**[05:54] Rishia**
They're trying to artificially recreate
the abilities only heroes have?
**[05:59] Kizuna**
Whether that's true or not, they don't
seem to know about us, yet.
**[06:03] Naofumi**
Well, we just broke out.
**[06:05] Naofumi**
There's a lot of concerning
stuff here, though.
**[06:08] Kizuna**
A lot of it's just gossip, but...
**[06:15] Naofumi**
We need to make enough money to pay
for food and shelter tonight, huh?
**[06:19] Raphtalia**
Yeah.
**[06:21] Kizuna**
Oh, I can just sell some
drop items I don't need.
**[06:27] Naofumi**
It looks like old Japanese currency.
**[06:30] Kizuna**
Oh, these copper doumon? You're right,
now that you mention it.
**[06:34] Kizuna**
One hundred of these is worth
one silver gyokugin.
**[06:36] Kizuna**
And 100 gyokugin is 1 gold kinban.
**[06:39] Naofumi**
If doumon are the same as
the coppers in my world,
**[06:43] Naofumi**
we don't have nearly enough.
**[06:45] Kizuna**
Yeah.
**[06:47] Kizuna**
I'd like to make some money fast.
**[06:49] Naofumi**
I've been thinking...
**[06:53] Naofumi**
And this might work.
**[06:56] Kizuna**
What's that?
**[06:57] Naofumi**
A soul soothing potion.
**[06:58] Naofumi**
It recovers SP.
**[07:00] Kizuna**
SP? As in "soul power," maybe?
**[07:03] Naofumi**
When I fought Glass,
L'Arc gave her one of these,
**[07:08] Naofumi**
and she got much stronger,
like she was coming back to life.
**[07:13] Kizuna**
What?
**[07:14] Kizuna**
Spirits would pay any price
for something like that.
**[07:17] Naofumi**
I thought so.
**[07:19] Naofumi**
Let's sell it, then.
**[07:20] Kizuna**
B-But that item's totally
unknown in this world.
**[07:23] Kizuna**
Would we find a buyer so soon?
**[07:26] Naofumi**
Who do you think I am?
**[07:28] Naofumi**
Tomorrow we're gonna be
busy leveling and selling.
**[07:31] Naofumi**
Right, Raphtali...a?
**[07:36] Naofumi**
Ra—
**[07:40] Naofumi**
You...
**[07:41] Raphtalia**
N-No!
**[07:43] Raphtalia**
I was thinking Rishia-san's
looked good too, that's all.
**[07:45] Rishia**
Here.
**[07:47] Rishia**
Young demi-humans need to
eat a lot, after all!
**[07:50] Raphtalia**
That's not true—
**[07:51] Raphtalia**
Well, it is true, but...
**[07:59] Naofumi**
Come one, come all!
**[08:01] Naofumi**
See the wares I've brought
from all around the land!
**[08:05] Naofumi**
First, this rare soul soothing potion.
**[08:07] Naofumi**
Soul soothing potion, a rare
medicine from a distant land.
**[08:10] Naofumi**
You Spirits there! This is
just the thing for you!
**[08:15] Raphtalia**
Right this way!
**[08:19] Raphtalia**
It doesn't cost a thing! So try it out!
**[08:24] Kizuna**
They're acting differently
than usual, aren't they?
**[08:26] Rishia**
I was surprised the first
time I saw it, too.
**[08:31] Spirit**
Amazing! I've never seen anything like this!
**[08:33] Spirit**
I can't believe it! My power's back!
**[08:36] Spirit**
Sell it to me! I'll pay any price,
just give it all to me!
**[08:39] Spirit**
Wait! Me, too!
**[08:40] Spirit**
Me, too!
**[08:41] Naofumi**
I'll be back to sell more, so please, relax!
**[08:46] Naofumi**
But it's a rare item, hard to find and produce.
**[08:49] Naofumi**
I don't have much left.
**[08:50] Naofumi**
So tomorrow, I'll be putting
it up for auction!
**[08:54] Spirit**
Auction?
**[08:55] Spirit**
And it's tomorrow, too?
**[08:59] Kizuna**
You're one hell of a salesman.
**[09:04] Kizuna**
See? I can take down monsters easily.
**[09:07] Naofumi**
But I'm not getting any XP.
Maybe because we're both heroes?
**[09:11] Kizuna**
I see.
**[09:13] Kizuna**
If only we could make
up for it with items.
**[09:16] Naofumi**
Want to try a different item
than the soul soothing potion?
**[09:19] Naofumi**
Our items might have different
effects on each other.
**[09:26] Kizuna**
This is an earth crystal.
**[09:28] Kizuna**
Holding it restores your magic.
**[09:33] Naofumi**
I just got 3,000 XP!
**[09:36] Naofumi**
Try this. It's magic water.
**[09:42] Kizuna**
It didn't restore my magic,
but I got weapon enhancement XP.
**[09:46] Naofumi**
There might be other items that
give us both different effects!
**[09:50] Kizuna**
Let's try a bunch of things.
**[09:52] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[09:56] Spirit**
Two gyokugin!
**[09:57] Spirit**
Three gyokugin, 30 doumon!
**[09:59] Spirit**
Thirty gyokugin!
**[10:02] Naofumi**
We have 30 gyokugin! Thirty gyokugin!
**[10:05] Naofumi**
Anyone else want to bid?
**[10:08] Naofumi**
Nobody?
**[10:10] Naofumi**
Then the first one sells for 30 gyokugin!
**[10:17] Naofumi**
Now, the next soul soothing potion...
**[10:25] Spirits**
What did she just do?
**[10:27] Spirits**
Does she know how valuable those were?
**[10:36] Raphtalia**
One of them is safe!
**[10:37] Naofumi**
What luck!
**[10:40] Naofumi**
But this is the very last bottle!
**[10:45] Naofumi**
Bidding starts at one gyokugin!
**[10:49] Kizuna**
Wow, that was so much fun!
**[10:51] Kizuna**
I never thought you could
sell things like that!
**[10:53] Rishia**
It wasn't fun for me.
**[10:56] Kizuna**
Sorry, Rishia-san.
**[10:58] Kizuna**
Naofumi told me to do it.
**[11:00] Naofumi**
Yeah. Good job.
**[11:02] Naofumi**
You did good too, Raphtalia.
**[11:05] Raphtalia**
Thank you!
**[11:07] Kizuna**
We've got more than enough for a pass,
**[11:09] Kizuna**
so let's buy weapons and armor, too!
**[11:13] Kizuna**
Nice! You all look great!
**[11:16] Naofumi**
You don't need any new items?
**[11:18] Kizuna**
I'm fine as I am.
**[11:20] Naofumi**
That haori's a mess.
**[11:23] Kizuna**
Glass gave it to me, though.
**[11:27] Naofumi**
I see... Sorry.
**[11:30] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, do you think
this looks good on me?
**[11:33] Naofumi**
Yeah, seems fine.
**[11:35] Naofumi**
And you look like a ninja girl, Rishia.
**[11:37] Rishia**
Ninja girl?
**[11:39] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, wh-who do you think's
the best out of all of us?
**[11:44] Naofumi**
Hmm... mine has the highest defense stat.
**[11:51] Naofumi**
Okay. Let's buy that pass and
leave first thing in the morning.
**[11:57] Background**
Come see what we've got for sale!
**[12:01] Naofumi**
I guess things are pretty
lively in the capital.
**[12:04] Kizuna**
Yeah. It hasn't changed
over the past few years.
**[12:09] Naofumi**
You okay, Raphtalia?
**[12:10] Raphtalia**
Y-Yes.
**[12:12] Raphtalia**
Just a little cold.
**[12:14] Kizuna**
It might snow.
**[12:17] Rishia**
Snow?
**[12:28] Naofumi**
Security's tight.
**[12:30] Kizuna**
They might have found out I escaped
from the Infinite Labyrinth.
**[12:33] Raphtalia**
Something seems wrong, though.
**[12:38] Naofumi**
What's going on?
**[12:39] Man**
You haven't heard?
**[12:42] Man**
A genius mage from another country developed
a way to use the Return Dragon Vein,
**[12:47] Man**
which only Cardinal Heroes and
Vassal Weapon Heroes can use.
**[12:51] Man**
And they're here for an experiment.
**[12:55] Kizuna**
Looks like it wasn't just gossip.
**[12:58] Naofumi**
Yeah, but what worries me is...
**[13:00] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, is this genius mage...
**[13:03] Rishia**
Could it be...
**[13:06] Naofumi**
What's wrong?
**[13:07] Background**
Wow!
**[13:10] Background**
It's him!
**[13:13] Background**
It's really him?!
**[13:22] Naofumi**
Who the hell is he?
**[13:25] Kizuna**
He's *not* the genius mage?
**[13:27] Rishia**
He doesn't look like Kyo.
**[13:29] Kizuna**
Kyo?
**[13:30] Flunkies**
Splendid work, Kazuki-sama!
**[13:32] Flunkies**
We believed you could do it!
**[13:35] Kazuki**
Of course I could.
**[13:37] Man**
When it's ready for mass adoption,
please bring it to us first.
**[13:41] Kazuki**
Hmm... perhaps I'll think about it while
I drink sake and watch the snow fall.
**[13:45] Man**
Of course. We have a room prepared.
**[13:48] Kizuna**
Looks like that's why security was tight.
**[13:51] Rishia**
I guess it's not him, but...
**[13:53] Naofumi**
He's nasty in the same way Kyo is.
**[13:55] Kizuna**
Hey, who's Kyo?
**[14:01] Naofumi**
Let's start by finding an inn.
**[14:06] Kizuna**
It's piling up!
**[14:10] Naofumi**
You're too old to play around like that.
**[14:13] Kizuna**
Eighteen's not too old to play in the snow.
**[14:19] Kizuna**
Gotcha!
**[14:20] Rishia**
Gotcha!
**[14:22] Rishia**
Just you wait!
**[14:24] Naofumi**
You too, Rishia?
**[14:26] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, say something to them.
**[14:32] Naofumi**
Too old, huh?
**[14:40] Kizuna**
Anyway, from what you
say about this Kyo guy,
**[14:44] Kizuna**
he's a total shithead!
**[14:47] Rishia**
Yes, he really is.
**[14:49] Kizuna**
As one of this world's Cardinal Heroes,
I'd like to pop him right in the face.
**[14:54] Kizuna**
But my weapon can't hurt humans.
**[14:56] Kizuna**
And you use a shield.
**[14:58] Rishia**
And Raphtalia and Rishia can't
do much at their level.
**[15:03] Rishia**
Kizuna, how much time until the Wave?
**[15:07] Kizuna**
About six days.
**[15:09] Rishia**
We need to find Filo and take down Kyo.
**[15:12] Rishia**
We can't waste time here.
**[15:15] Raphtalia**
Let's go, Naofumi-sama.
**[15:17] Raphtalia**
It's probably not well guarded at this hour.
**[15:20] Raphtalia**
Especially with this blizzard.
**[15:22] Raphtalia**
This is our one chance.
**[15:24] Naofumi**
But you and Rishia don't
have your levels back yet.
**[15:28] Naofumi**
You're not ready to fight humans.
**[15:30] Raphtalia**
I'm your sword.
**[15:32] Raphtalia**
I may be small right now,
**[15:34] Raphtalia**
but no matter how low my level is...
**[15:36] Raphtalia**
I'll protect you no matter what!
**[15:38] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[15:41] Naofumi**
Your dumplings are burning.
**[15:44] Raphtalia**
Oh no!
**[15:45] Raphtalia**
Ow!
**[15:47] Kizuna**
Aw, you guys are so silly.
**[15:51] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, if you're my sword,
**[15:53] Naofumi**
then as the Shield Hero,
it's my job to protect you.
**[15:56] Naofumi**
Don't worry about a thing when you fight.
**[15:57] Naofumi**
I'll protect you both.
**[16:00] Raphtalia**
Okay!
**[16:01] Rishia**
I'll d-do my best!
**[16:03] Kizuna**
We go tonight, then.
**[16:06] Kizuna**
Listen. Once we're inside, prioritize getting
to the hourglass over everything else.
**[16:13] Kizuna**
Once I touch it,
Return Dragon Vein will activate.
**[16:19] Kizuna**
You're set as part of my party,
so you can warp with me.
**[16:24] Kizuna**
But I don't know what'll happen
if you're too far away.
**[16:28] Rishia**
Which way next, Kizuna-san?
**[16:30] Kizuna**
Here.
**[16:32] Kizuna**
The hourglass is on the other side.
**[16:37] Kizuna**
What is this?
**[16:40] Men**
There they are! Intruders!
**[16:41] Men**
Get them!
**[16:45] Naofumi**
Looks like...
**[16:46] Kizuna**
They set a trap for us.
**[16:48] Rishia**
N-No!
**[16:51] Raphtalia**
I'll cut a path through!
**[16:52] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[16:55] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[16:56] Kizuna**
Aw... I guess we don't have a choice!
**[16:58] Rishia**
We *don't* have a choice!
**[17:09] Rishia**
H-Here, too?
**[17:11] Naofumi**
Kizuna! Come here and tell us where to go!
**[17:14] Kizuna**
Can't you see I'm busy?
**[17:16] Naofumi**
Take them down! Or is that
sword just for show?!
**[17:19] Kizuna**
Yeah, when I'm fighting humans, it is.
**[17:21] Kizuna**
I showed you, didn't I?
**[17:32] Naofumi**
See, you can do it.
**[17:41] Men**
Damn it!
**[17:42] Men**
Where are they?
**[17:43] Men**
Wait! Damn it!
**[17:45] Kizuna**
Naofumi, let's split up.
**[17:48] Kizuna**
We're just dragging the
enemy around with us!
**[17:51] Naofumi**
But we don't know where the hourglass is.
**[17:52] Kizuna**
It has to be at the center of this mansion.
**[17:55] Kizuna**
Head there, and...
**[17:56] Naofumi**
With all these dead ends?
**[17:59] Kizuna**
If that happens, just do
what I did back there.
**[18:01] Naofumi**
Fine!
**[18:02] Naofumi**
Let's go, Raphtalia!
**[18:04] Raphtalia**
Right!
**[18:05] Kizuna**
Rishia-san, stay with me.
**[18:06] Rishia**
O-Okay!
**[18:11] Naofumi**
Damn it! Another one?
**[18:15] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[18:24] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[18:25] Naofumi**
Right!
**[18:26] Man**
That kid's so strong...
**[18:29] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, look!
**[18:34] Kazuki**
Well done, well done.
**[18:36] Kazuki**
You're the fools who fell for my trap?
**[18:41] Kazuki**
I deliberately stationed fewer guards,
and you came rushing right in.
**[18:45] Kazuki**
Kyo-san was right.
**[18:48] Naofumi**
You work for Kyo?
**[18:50] Kazuki**
Say what you like.
**[18:53] Kazuki**
I prefer "business partner."
**[18:55] Naofumi**
Let me guess. He became your sponsor for the
teleporter in exchange for having you catch us?
**[19:01] Kazuki**
Something like that.
**[19:02] Kazuki**
Looks like you pissed him off.
**[19:05] Kazuki**
He was really mad.
**[19:09] Naofumi**
That makes me feel a little better.
**[19:12] Naofumi**
Just a little, though.
**[19:14] Kazuki**
Now I see why he's pissed off.
**[19:16] Kazuki**
Wipe that smirk off your face, asshole.
**[19:18] Naofumi**
Don't worry. I don't like you, either.
**[19:22] Naofumi**
You fake-ass wannabe Kyo!
**[19:24] Kazuki**
Let me correct you on one thing.
**[19:27] Kazuki**
I wasn't told to catch you.
**[19:30] Kazuki**
I was told "alive or dead."
**[19:34] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[19:41] Kizuna**
Naofumi!
**[19:42] Rishia**
Raphtalia-san!
**[19:43] Naofumi**
Kizuna! Make a run for the Hourglass!
**[19:45] Kizuna**
Okay!
**[19:47] Kazuki**
Stop the little girl!
**[19:49] Kazuki**
Kill her!
**[19:50] Kizuna**
Don't call me little!
**[19:57] Rishia**
You did it, Kizuna-san!
**[19:59] Kazuki**
Shit!
**[20:00] Kizuna**
Get as close to the hourglass
as you can, everyone!
**[20:08] Kizuna**
Here I go! Return Dragon Vein!
**[20:22] Kizuna**
What?
**[20:24] Naofumi**
Raphtalia?
**[20:27] Naofumi**
That voice? Kyo!
**[20:29] Kyo**
*Yup!*
**[20:30] Kyo**
*How you doin', Shield Dumbass?*
**[20:32] Kyo**
*I've been waiting for this moment!*
**[20:35] Kyo**
*This awesome, awesome moment!*
**[20:37] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[20:40] Naofumi**
Kizuna, call off the warp!
**[20:42] Kizuna**
I can't! Once it starts I can't stop it!
**[20:46] Kyo**
*Yup.*
**[20:47] Kyo**
* Why do you think I sent you*
* into the Infinite Labyrinth?*
**[20:50] Kyo**
* Why do you think I let you*
* keep the raccoon demi-human?*
**[20:54] Kyo**
*Why?*
**[20:56] Naofumi**
Don't tell me...
**[20:57] Kyo**
*Yup!*
**[20:58] Kyo**
*To see that look on your face!*
**[21:01] Kyo**
*That face, twisted with rage and despair!*
**[21:04] Naofumi**
You bastard!
**[21:06] Kyo**
*Yup! Just what I wanted to see!*
**[21:08] Kazuki**
Not fair, Kyo-san.
**[21:09] Kazuki**
He insulted me. I need to see him dead.
**[21:14] Kazuki**
Move, or I'll cut your head off.
**[21:16] Kyo**
*Nope!*
**[21:17] Kyo**
* I'm taking the little one back*
* to my lab for experiments.*
**[21:22] Naofumi**
No! Raphtalia!
**[21:27] Raphtalia**
Go, Naofumi-sama!
**[21:28] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, what are you—
**[21:31] Raphtalia**
I thought that after I became small,
I couldn't help you anymore.
**[21:36] Raphtalia**
But I was kind of happy...
**[21:39] Raphtalia**
Since I got to have you pat me on the head
and carry me, like when we first met.
**[21:46] Raphtalia**
I'll be your sword until the end.
**[21:51] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[21:56] Kyo**
*I'm dying! I'm dying of laughter!*
**[22:00] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!

**[00:04] Naofumi**
Kizuna, send us back!
**[00:07] Kizuna**
Calm down, Naofumi! That's just
what that Kyo guy wants!
**[00:11] Naofumi**
I don't give a shit!
**[00:12] Naofumi**
I'd rather fall for whatever trap he's
set than leave Raphtalia there alone!
**[00:24] Kizuna**
It's no good. They've shut
it off on their side.
**[00:28] Naofumi**
That piece of shit!
**[00:31] Rishia**
Naofumi-san?
**[00:33] Kizuna**
Naofumi, I know someone here who's
really good at finding people.
**[00:37] Kizuna**
If we ask him for help, I'm sure
he'll find her right away.
**[00:40] Kizuna**
So... calm down okay?
**[00:41] Man A**
Kizuna-sama?
**[00:44] Man B**
It's Kizuna-sama!
**[00:49] Kizuna**
Don't worry. They're from Sikul!
**[00:52] Kizuna**
They're on our side!
**[00:53] Man A**
Welcome home, Kizuna-sama!
**[00:55] Kizuna**
I'm home.
**[01:01] Kizuna**
Sorry, can you go get Ethnobalt for me?
**[01:11] Owner**
Come on!
**[01:13] Filo**
No! Let me go!
**[01:16] Filo**
Let me go!
**[01:22] Owner**
Damn it. The rain's driven
away all my customers.
**[01:35] Owner**
Shut up!
**[01:36] Owner**
I was lucky enough to
find a mutant like you.
**[01:38] Owner**
You're going to make me
a lot of money tomorrow!
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Episode 9 Humming Fairy
**[03:15] Noble A**
They locked our nation's Cardinal Hero,
Kizuna-sama, in the Infinite Labyrinth?
**[03:21] Noble B**
This is a serious act of hostility!
**[03:23] Noble A**
We will lodge an official complaint
with Mikakage immediately!
**[03:25] Kizuna**
Yeah, go do that.
**[03:28] Noble C**
But how did you escape from
the Infinite Labyrinth?
**[03:33] Kizuna**
It's thanks to them!
**[03:37] Noble A**
I see!
**[03:39] Noble B**
We can't thank you enough
for saving our hero!
**[03:44] Rishia**
Um, no, it was nothing...
**[03:48] Kizuna**
That's Rishia-san.
**[03:50] Kizuna**
And this is Iwatani Naofumi.
**[03:53] Kizuna**
He's a Cardinal Hero just like me!
**[03:56] Kizuna**
From another world, though.
**[04:06] Kizuna**
What's wrong, everyone?
**[04:07] Noble A**
Kizuna-sama, get away from him.
**[04:11] Noble B**
Call the guards!
**[04:12] Noble C**
He's come to destroy our world.
**[04:15] Kizuna**
Naofumi's here to destroy the world?
**[04:21] Kizuna**
That makes no sense!
**[04:23] Kizuna**
Naofumi saved my life! How can you say that?
**[04:35] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[04:36] Kizuna**
Naofumi!
***SIGN*** Oh, and where might you be going?
**[04:50] Kizuna**
Ethnobalt!
***SIGN*** It's been a long, long time, Kizuna.
***SIGN*** I keep trying to find you, but I was too slow to find where you were.
**[05:01] Naofumi**
Who the hell are you?
***SIGN*** Are you the one who wants me to find someone,
***SIGN*** Cardinal Hero from another world?
***SIGN*** I am Ethnobalt, wielder of the Boat Vassal Weapon.
***SIGN*** Kizuna, first, take this.
***SIGN*** He missed you.
**[05:21] Kizuna**
Thank you! So you held
on to him for me, huh?
***SIGN*** Yes. Glass was keeping him at first, but she's been busy.
**[05:35] Kizuna**
Chris!
**[05:38] Kizuna**
I'm happy to see you again!
**[05:40] Rishia**
K-Kizuna-san, what's that?
**[05:44] Kizuna**
Sorry. This is my shikigami, Chris!
**[05:49] Rishia**
Shikigami?
**[05:52] Kizuna**
Yup.
**[05:53] Kizuna**
Glass and I made him.
***SIGN*** About four days ago, Chris started going crazy.
***SIGN*** Thinking back, that must have been when you escaped the Infinite Labyrinth.
**[06:04] Kizuna**
Yes.
**[06:05] Kizuna**
He'll tell us where Glass is, too.
**[06:08] Rishia**
I see! That's perfect for finding people!
**[06:13] Rishia**
But how do we find Raphtalia-san
and Filo-chan?
**[06:18] Kizuna**
Well, I'll have Naofumi make one, too.
**[06:22] Naofumi**
How?
**[06:24] Kizuna**
You need the blood of the owner and
something to function as a shikigami catalyst.
**[06:30] Kizuna**
For instance, a single strand of her hair.
**[06:36] Naofumi**
Her hair?
**[06:38] Naofumi**
I absorbed some into my shield once.
**[06:41] Naofumi**
Raphtalia's hair. This is it.
**[06:48] Rishia**
That's Raphtalia-san's hair?
**[06:52] Kizuna**
And then your blood, Naofumi.
***SIGN*** Let us begin the ritual to create the shikigami, then.
***SIGN*** I wish for something to protect them, and give them power.
***SIGN*** The creation of that which serves as servant and as fragment of their magic.
***SIGN*** Let a servant that gives protection be born!
***SIGN*** This is...
**[07:22] Rishia**
Wh-What's going on?
***SIGN*** Nothing... It's manifesting faster than I imagined.
***SIGN*** To whom does this catalyst belong?
***SIGN*** Shikigami Shield
**[07:35] Naofumi**
Shikigami Shield?
**[07:47] Naofumi**
This is a shikigami?
**[07:49] Kizuna**
That's right! Nice work, Naofumi!
***SIGN*** I was worried for a moment. I'm glad it worked, though.
**[08:01] Naofumi**
Raphtalia?
**[08:03] Kizuna**
Cheer up a bit!
**[08:05] Kizuna**
If it worked, that means the person the
catalyst belongs to is still alive!
**[08:10] Rishia**
Then...
**[08:12] Kizuna**
Raphtalia-chan is safe!
**[08:13] Rishia**
Whew...
**[08:17] Rishia**
I-It's cute!
**[08:19] Kizuna**
But we don't know how long
she'll stay safe for.
**[08:23] Kizuna**
We need to hurry.
**[08:25] Naofumi**
Yeah, I know.
**[08:27] Naofumi**
But it's not just Raphtalia.
There's Filo, too.
**[08:30] Naofumi**
We'll find them both.
**[08:32] Rishia**
Right!
**[08:32] Naofumi**
Ethnobalt, right?
**[08:34] Naofumi**
Thank you for creating my shikigami.
***SIGN*** Not at all. I hope you find your friend soon.
**[08:41] Naofumi**
Are you human?
**[08:44] Kizuna**
You can tell? You're amazing, Naofumi.
***SIGN*** No, something just felt off.
***SIGN*** A rabbit?
**[08:56] Kizuna**
Ethnobalt is a descendant
of a species of monsters
**[08:59] Kizuna**
that have protected this
world for generations.
**[09:03] Naofumi**
A descendant of monsters
that protect this world?
**[09:06] Naofumi**
So that's it.
**[09:09] Kizuna**
You don't usually show your true form to
people just after meeting them, though.
***SIGN*** Strangely, it felt safe to let him see me this way.
**[09:21] Kizuna**
Maybe animals just like him?
**[09:25] Naofumi**
So, it's not just because
you can make shikigami
**[09:28] Naofumi**
that you're supposedly good
at finding people, right?
**[09:31] Kizuna**
Naofumi...
**[09:33] Rishia**
That's just who Naofumi-san is, though.
***SIGN*** Of course, that's not all.
**[09:38] Kizuna**
Ethnobalt is the Boat Vassal Weapon's wielder.
**[09:42] Kizuna**
His boat will take us to where the
person you're looking for is.
**[09:45] Naofumi**
You can't use the Return Dragon Vein yet?
**[09:48] Kizuna**
No, I can take us anywhere
that's not locked off.
**[09:52] Kizuna**
But his skill is way more amazing than that!
**[09:55] Naofumi**
But it's just a ship, right?
***SIGN*** Let's go someplace else.
**[10:12] Rishia**
I-It's floating!
**[10:15] Naofumi**
The "boat" was the
thing he was standing on?
**[10:22] Naofumi**
Where is Raphtalia?
**[10:25] Kizuna**
Naofumi, you're not going to name it?
**[10:28] Naofumi**
A name? Yeah, eventually.
**[10:31] Naofumi**
Now, tell me where Raphtalia is.
**[10:33] Kizuna**
Hurry up and pick one, okay?
**[10:35] Kizuna**
Chris, do you know where Glass is?
**[10:42] Rishia**
That's...
**[10:44] Naofumi**
They're in the same place?
***SIGN*** That's not good.
**[10:49] Naofumi**
What do you mean?
**[10:51] Kizuna**
Raybul.
**[10:52] Kizuna**
They're allied with Mikakage, the ones
that locked me in the Infinite Labyrinth.
**[10:56] Kizuna**
And Kazuki, that "genius mage,"
is from there, too.
**[11:01] Naofumi**
An enemy country, then?
**[11:03] Naofumi**
You have a lot of those.
**[11:05] Kizuna**
I do!
**[11:06] Kizuna**
The whole world's been on edge for a while.
**[11:09] Kizuna**
A war could start at any time.
**[11:12] Rishia**
If they're still there, that means...
**[11:15] Kizuna**
It's likely they were captured.
**[11:17] Naofumi**
Even if it's a trap, we have to go.
**[11:20] Naofumi**
I hope Filo's there, too.
***SIGN*** I'll warp the ship, then.
**[11:24] Rishia**
You can use portals?
***SIGN*** We can travel fast by riding along the connections between the dragon hourglasses.
**[11:32] Kizuna**
And we don't have to register
with the hourglass first,
**[11:34] Kizuna**
or be transported right in front of it.
**[11:37] Rishia**
If the hourglass was right in their
headquarters, that'd be really dangerous.
**[11:41] Naofumi**
It's a big improvement over
Return Dragon Vein.
***SIGN*** It's all I can do, though.
**[11:48] Naofumi**
No, it's more than enough.
**[11:50] Kizuna**
Yup! I'm really grateful to Ethnobalt!
***SIGN*** It was worth waiting for her return.
***SIGN*** I can finally be of use to her.
**[12:01] Onlooker A**
Wow!
**[12:02] Onlooker B**
Look!
**[12:05] Owner**
Move your wings! Your wings!
**[12:15] Owner**
Now sing! Sing!
**[12:18] Filo**
Master!
**[12:24] Kizuna**
If we showed up right in the sky
above them, they'd find us immediately.
**[12:28] Kizuna**
Let's land outside town and sneak inside.
***SIGN*** I'll wait for word from you!
***SIGN*** Stay safe!
**[12:42] Naofumi**
It looks like Mikakage,
but it's a bit more modern.
**[12:48] Rishia**
The sun's setting.
**[12:50] Kizuna**
What should we do? We can stay at an inn.
**[12:52] Naofumi**
We know what direction she's in.
**[12:54] Naofumi**
We'll walk all night if we have to.
**[12:56] Kizuna**
I agree.
**[12:57] Rishia**
I'll do my best, even if I'm sleepy!
**[12:59] Kizuna**
I almost forgot! What's this about
Naofumi destroying the world?
**[13:04] Rishia**
What the people at the castle said...
**[13:07] Kizuna**
Drat. I was going to ask Ethnobalt.
**[13:11] Kizuna**
He said Glass seemed busy, too.
**[13:16] Kizuna**
What was she doing in your world?
**[13:20] Kizuna**
What's wrong?
**[13:23] Naofumi**
I can hear it.
**[13:28] Kizuna**
Naofumi!
**[13:30] Rishia**
Th-That's the wrong way!
**[13:38] Naofumi**
*It's not Raphtalia. But that voice...*
**[13:43] Naofumi**
*Is it... Is it...?*
**[13:52] Kizuna**
What's gotten into you?
**[13:55] Owner**
It's the celestial maiden who's
come down from the heavens!
**[13:57] Owner**
We're closed for today,
but come see her tomorrow!
**[14:03] Kizuna**
The celestial maiden...
**[14:04] Naofumi**
...who's come down from the heavens?
**[14:07] Rishia**
Is that what he said?
**[14:09] Rishia**
Is that...
**[14:11] Filo**
No! Help me!
**[14:14] Filo**
Rishia-oneechan!
**[14:16] Filo**
Raphtalia-oneechan!
**[14:19] Background A**
It just makes me feel sick.
**[14:21] Filo**
Master!
**[14:21] Background B**
Yeah.
**[14:23] Owner**
Enough! Take her away!
**[14:24] Background A**
Is that "singing"? I don't know what
she's saying, but it sounds like she's crying.
**[14:29] Background B**
I feel bad for her.
**[14:32] Naofumi**
Filo...
**[14:33] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[14:35] Rishia**
No, Naofumi-san!
**[14:37] Kizuna**
That's right!
**[14:38] Kizuna**
You can't cause a fuss right now!
**[14:40] Naofumi**
Let me go. I'm going to go murder
that shithead where he stands.
**[14:42] Rishia**
I want to kill him, too!
**[14:44] Rishia**
But calm down!
**[14:45] Rishia**
Let's sneak in under cover
of night and save her!
**[14:51] Kizuna**
You're too loud!
**[14:53] Kizuna**
I don't think they can understand
what she's saying, at least.
**[14:57] Naofumi**
Yeah. Our priority is to
get Filo back unharmed.
**[15:06] Kizuna**
Is this another trap of Kyo's?
**[15:10] Naofumi**
I don't give a shit. I'm sick of this.
**[15:12] Naofumi**
We can torture that guy until
he tells us the truth.
**[15:15] Kizuna**
At least say you'll question him.
**[15:17] Rishia**
Is there a difference?
**[15:19] Kizuna**
No, um...
**[15:21] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[15:23] Kizuna**
Those two are kinda scary.
**[15:35] Kizuna**
It feels like breaking and
entering is all I do lately.
**[15:39] Naofumi**
It's not like the laws mean anything here.
**[15:44] Rishia**
Filo-chan, where are you?
**[15:52] Rishia**
Birds?
**[16:04] Kizuna**
That's a humming fairy chick.
**[16:06] Kizuna**
They're bird monsters that
are said to be able to sing.
**[16:09] Rishia**
It doesn't look like a filolial.
Let's look somewhere else—
**[16:12] Naofumi**
No... Filo!
**[16:20] Rishia**
But it's not a filolial...
**[16:21] Naofumi**
It's you, right, Filo? Right, Filo?
**[16:27] Rishia**
It's really Filo-chan?
**[16:28] Naofumi**
What's wrong? You can't transform?
**[16:30] Rishia**
Those look like talismans!
**[16:33] Kizuna**
Servant talismans.
**[16:35] Kizuna**
You usually put one on the monster itself.
**[16:38] Naofumi**
He put them on the cage, too, to keep
her monster crest from working?
**[16:42] Rishia**
How awful!
**[16:45] Naofumi**
Kizuna, can you cut open the cage?
**[16:48] Kizuna**
I can, but I don't know what will
happen if we destroy the talismans.
**[16:52] Naofumi**
If I can use the monster crest...
**[16:57] Naofumi**
Filo, hang in there just a little more!
**[17:06] Naofumi**
Kizuna, now!
**[17:08] Kizuna**
On it!
**[17:13] Filo**
Master!
**[17:19] Rishia**
Filo-chan... I'm so glad... I'm so glad.
**[17:23] Kizuna**
But how did you know that
humming fairy was her?
**[17:27] Naofumi**
She's my dear companion... How could
I mistake her for anything else?
**[17:31] Owner**
What's all this noise?
**[17:34] Owner**
You think you can steal my golden
goose, do you? Criminal!
**[17:38] Kizuna**
Who's the criminal here?
**[17:41] Kizuna**
Now you're in for it!
**[17:50] Voice A**
Sing.
**[17:51] Voice B**
Get moving!
**[17:53] Voice C**
Sing for us!
**[18:04] Kizuna**
That shield's power is amazing.
**[18:09] Kizuna**
After he confessed everything,
it kind of... broke him.
**[18:14] Kizuna**
His mind, I mean.
**[18:15] Naofumi**
So he was just the son of a noble,
making some money off a sideshow?
**[18:20] Kizuna**
He said his dad found Filo-chan unconscious.
**[18:26] Naofumi**
It may have been Kyo who
gave her to his father.
**[18:31] Kizuna**
He really is a piece of shit.
**[18:33] Kizuna**
How could he do that to a cute
little crybaby like her?
**[18:36] Naofumi**
She's normally full of
energy and never cries.
**[18:41] Kizuna**
But she's a... filolial, was it?
**[18:44] Kizuna**
Why did she become a humming
fairy in this world?
**[18:47] Naofumi**
If filolial don't exist in this world,
**[18:50] Naofumi**
she may have been assigned a similar race.
**[18:53] Naofumi**
The reason she was still able
to transform into a human
**[18:56] Naofumi**
might be that she has a unique
power as a future filolial queen.
**[19:10] Filo**
Master?
**[19:12] Naofumi**
What?
**[19:14] Filo**
You won't disappear again, will you?
**[19:25] Naofumi**
I won't. I'm with both of you forever.
**[19:39] Filo**
No!
**[19:40] Filo**
Master is my master!
**[19:43] Kizuna**
She's gotten better, but now,
she's not leaving Naofumi's side.
**[19:47] Rishia**
She must've been really scared.
**[19:50] Filo**
Master, who's this?
**[19:52] Filo**
Smells like Raphtalia-oneechan...
**[19:55] Naofumi**
It's a shikigami made
from Raphtalia's hair.
**[19:58] Naofumi**
It's been here since yesterday.
**[20:01] Filo**
You can be Raph-chan, then!
**[20:04] All**
Raph-chan?
**[20:08] Naofumi**
Well, if it's okay with that.
**[20:11] Kizuna**
Hey. I've been here since yesterday, too.
**[20:14] Kizuna**
I'm Kazayama Kizuna!
**[20:15] Kizuna**
This is Chris, my shikigami!
**[20:18] Filo**
Kizuna-oneechan and Chris!
**[20:20] Kizuna**
Onee-chan...
**[20:21] Kizuna**
Naofumi, Filo-chan's a good girl, isn't she?
**[20:24] Naofumi**
"Kizuna-chan" should be good enough, right?
**[20:26] Kizuna**
Naofumi...
**[20:27] Man D**
You're not safe anywhere these days.
**[20:33] Naofumi**
People might already be talking
about what happened yesterday.
**[20:36] Naofumi**
Filo, hide.
**[20:42] Rishia**
What does it say?
**[20:44] Kizuna**
It's about Filo.
**[20:46] Kizuna**
It was too dark for them to make out
any real description of us, though.
**[20:51] Naofumi**
Lucky she was able to become smaller.
**[20:54] Kizuna**
It also says...
**[20:56] Kizuna**
This one looks worse.
**[20:58] Kizuna**
The Wielder of the Katana Vassal Weapon
was found, but escaped.
**[21:02] Kizuna**
The nation's doing everything
it can to find them.
**[21:04] Naofumi**
Katana Vassal Weapon Wielder?
**[21:06] Naofumi**
What does it matter if—
**[21:09] Naofumi**
What?
**[21:10] Rishia**
What's wrong?
**[21:12] Naofumi**
No...
**[21:14] Naofumi**
Raphtalia's stats disappeared!
**[21:18] Kizuna**
Why?
**[21:19] Naofumi**
I don't know.
**[21:20] Naofumi**
Something suddenly felt "wrong," and then...
**[21:22] Rishia**
No...
**[21:24] Naofumi**
Could Kyo have...
**[21:28] Naofumi**
If this thing's still here, then...
**[21:31] Kizuna**
Raphtalia-chan should still be safe!
**[21:34] Naofumi**
Then why is the slave crest...
**[21:38] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[23:17] Soldier**
Hurry up, and get out.
**[23:22] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[23:29] Soldier**
This way!

**[00:14] Man A**
Come on! This way!
**[00:27] Man A**
Don't stop moving! Quickly!
**[00:30] Man A**
You'll be held here until we
turn you over to Kyo-dono.
**[00:35] Raphtalia**
*Naofumi-sama...*
**[00:37] Raphtalia**
*You're angry right now, aren't you?*
**[00:46] Raphtalia**
*But I won't die before I see you again!*
**[00:59] Raphtalia**
My power...
**[01:01] L'Arc**
You're wasting your time.
**[01:04] L'Arc**
The more you use your power here,
the more it gets sucked away.
**[01:11] L'Arc**
And you can't force open the
door with that tiny body.
**[01:15] Raphtalia**
L'Arc-san, Therese-san... Glass-san!
**[01:19] L'Arc**
How do you know our names?
**[01:21] Glass**
That face, the color of your hair...
**[01:24] Glass**
Are you...
**[01:25] Therese**
Are you Raphtalia-san?
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
***SIGN*** Episode 10 Katana Hero
**[03:03] L'Arc**
Raphtalia... Is that you, Raphtally-chan?
**[03:07] Glass**
How did you reach this world?
**[03:09] L'Arc**
And why are you so small?
**[03:12] L'Arc**
What's wrong?
**[03:13] Raphtalia**
You're Naofumi-sama's...
**[03:18] Raphtalia**
No, all of our enemies!
**[03:21] L'Arc**
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
**[03:23] Raphtalia**
But I think we're still under a truce...
**[03:28] Raphtalia**
Until we avenge Ost-san and stop Kyo.
**[03:33] Raphtalia**
And for that to happen, we need to
get out of here as fast as we can.
**[03:38] Raphtalia**
So, won't you help me once more?
**[03:46] L'Arc**
That tough attitude...
**[03:48] L'Arc**
You're small, but you're
definitely Raphtally-chan!
**[03:50] Therese**
Of course. We feel the same.
**[03:53] Therese**
We want to take back the Spirit Tortoise's
power and return it to your world.
**[03:58] Therese**
But...
**[04:00] Raphtalia**
But?
**[04:01] L'Arc**
We made it home, but I guess the
whole thing was Kyo's trap.
**[04:06] L'Arc**
And now we're in this mess.
**[04:09] Raphtalia**
I see.
**[04:11] Raphtalia**
You were sent here, just like we were
sent to the Infinite Labyrinth.
**[04:15] L'Arc**
The Infinite Labyrinth?
**[04:17] L'Arc**
That's where you guys ended up?
**[04:20] Glass**
That's a temporal prison
you can never escape from!
**[04:23] Man A**
Quiet! Pipe down in there!
**[04:26] Glass**
We should start by going over
what we know, it seems.
**[04:33] Glass**
I can't believe it...
**[04:35] Glass**
Kizuna... Kizuna was trapped
in the Infinite Labyrinth?
**[04:40] Glass**
I never even thought...
**[04:42] Glass**
I should've checked that, too!
**[04:45] L'Arc**
But she's out now, and that's
what matters, right?
**[04:48] Therese**
And Kizuna and your party
left you to head to Sikul.
**[04:52] Therese**
It must've been hard for Naofumi-san.
**[04:55] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[04:56] Raphtalia**
He may never forgive me.
**[04:59] Therese**
That's not...
**[05:01] Glass**
I thank you, from the bottom of
my heart, for saving Kizuna.
**[05:05] Glass**
This time, we'll...
**[05:09] Glass**
bring you back to Naofumi.
**[05:12] Raphtalia**
Glass-san...
**[05:13] L'Arc**
Like I said, this place is called
the Prison of Exhaustion.
**[05:17] L'Arc**
It has a magic that constantly
drains and exhausts those inside.
**[05:21] L'Arc**
And the guards' power is enhanced
with special talismans.
**[05:26] L'Arc**
It's a rough place to be stuck in.
**[05:31] Therese**
Spirits have their very life drained.
**[05:36] Raphtalia**
That's why they let you
keep your weapons, then.
**[05:40] L'Arc**
Yeah, that's part of it.
**[05:42] L'Arc**
But also, you can't take a vassal
weapon from its wielder.
**[05:49] Raphtalia**
Just like the Cardinal Weapons?
**[05:54] Therese**
Glass got excited when
she heard about Kizuna.
**[05:58] L'Arc**
That just made the exhaustion worse.
**[06:01] Therese**
We need to get out of here, fast.
**[06:09] Raphtalia**
Our abilities are weakened,
but we can still use them, right?
**[06:14] Therese**
Yes...
**[06:15] Raphtalia**
I may be able to do something.
**[06:22] Man A**
Escapees!
**[06:27] L'Arc**
Your illusion magic is incredible!
**[06:31] Raphtalia**
No... it's all I can do at this level...
**[06:37] (Flashback) Man A**
They're gone?
**[06:42] (Flashback) Man A**
What?
**[06:46] (Flashback) Man A**
Where were you hiding?
**[06:49] (Flashback) Man A**
Answer me! Hey!
**[06:52] (Flashback) Man A**
What?
**[06:53] Raphtalia**
Compared to Glass-san's
abilities, it's nothing!
**[06:54] Man A**
My talisman...
**[06:57] L'Arc**
Don't worry. Her stuff's
on a whole other level.
**[07:00] Glass**
What do you think I am?
**[07:02] Raphtalia**
What do we do now?
**[07:04] L'Arc**
We head to Sikul, of course.
**[07:07] L'Arc**
We need to meet up with
Kizuna and the others.
**[07:10] Glass**
No objections here.
**[07:13] Raphtalia**
*Naofumi-sama, I'm coming back.*
**[07:17] Raphtalia**
*I'm coming back to be with you.*
**[07:24] L'Arc**
Kizuna's group headed to Sikul
using Return Dragon Vein, right?
**[07:29] L'Arc**
It'd be the fastest thing for us, too.
**[07:32] Glass**
But we'd have to get to
Raybul's dragon hourglass.
**[07:37] Raphtalia**
We don't know what kind of trap Kyo's set.
**[07:41] Therese**
Let's try and get your level
as high as we can on the way.
**[07:46] Therese**
And this time, we're with you.
**[07:49] Glass**
We'll all head to Sikul together.
**[07:56] L'Arc**
I'm starving, too.
**[07:57] L'Arc**
But they took all our stuff
at the prison. I'm broke.
**[08:01] Glass**
And people will get suspicious if
we wear these cloaks all the time.
**[08:05] Therese**
Oh, fine.
**[08:11] Glass**
Where were you hiding those?
**[08:24] L'Arc**
Here you go, Raphtally-chan.
**[08:26] Raphtalia**
Th-Thank you.
**[08:28] L'Arc**
Sorry. You would've rather
had some food, right?
**[08:31] Raphtalia**
I'm not that hungry!
**[08:36] L'Arc**
You look pretty hungry to me!
**[08:38] Glass**
They say that demihumans in her world
change shape as they gain levels.
**[08:43] Therese**
But I guess they need food, too.
**[08:46] Therese**
I'll have to sell these, too.
**[08:48] L'Arc**
You have more?
**[09:04] L'Arc**
You seem a little bigger
than before, Raphtalia.
**[09:08] Raphtalia**
My joints kind of hurt, actually.
**[09:11] Glass**
Growing pains?
**[09:13] Glass**
I can tailor your kimono, but we'll
need a new weapon for you.
**[09:19] Therese**
Oh, fine!
**[09:20] Therese**
It's for Raphtalia-san, after all!
**[09:23] Raphtalia**
Sorry...
**[09:29] L'Arc**
Sheesh. It's dangerous out there.
**[09:31] Therese**
They're looking for us, though.
**[09:36] Raphtalia**
You're very good at that.
**[09:37] Glass**
Since we've fought each other, it's kind of
embarrassing to have you see me doing this.
**[09:42] Raphtalia**
Kizuna-san's haori...
**[09:45] Raphtalia**
She said you gave it to her.
**[09:47] Raphtalia**
Did you tailor it for her?
**[09:49] Glass**
Yes...
**[09:50] Raphtalia**
She seemed to really like it.
**[09:53] Glass**
I see.
**[09:54] Raphtalia**
I hope you see her soon.
**[09:56] Glass**
And, um, you too...
**[09:59] L'Arc**
I hope you see your lad soon,
too, Raphtally-chan.
**[10:08] Raphtalia**
Yeah!
**[10:15] L'Arc**
That's the dragon hourglass.
**[10:17] Glass**
Something's up.
**[10:20] Man B**
They're deciding who will wield
the Katana Vassal Weapon.
**[10:23] Man B**
There's a candidate for it!
**[10:25] Man C**
At last!
**[10:26] Raphtalia**
Katana Vassal Weapon?
**[10:29] L'Arc**
Seriously?
**[10:30] Therese**
That's something else to
worry about, huh, L'Arc?
**[10:34] Glass**
A vassal weapon wielder, like myself or L'Arc,
is about to be born in this country.
**[10:40] Glass**
The presence of a hero is capable of tilting
the military balance between nations.
**[10:46] Raphtalia**
Why would that be a problem for L'Arc?
**[10:49] L'Arc**
Let's go check it out!
**[10:51] L'Arc**
As a fellow vassal weapon wielder,
I've got to take a look at him, at least.
**[11:00] Man D**
We will now choose the holder
of the Katana Vassal Weapon!
**[11:05] Man D**
Many adventurers have tried
to draw the vassal weapon.
**[11:10] Man D**
But none have succeeded!
**[11:13] Man D**
But the vassal weapon will heed
the call of its rightful bearer!
**[11:21] Raphtalia**
It's kind of like a big party.
**[11:23] L'Arc**
That's what it is, actually.
**[11:25] Therese**
Raybul has held the Katana
Vassal Weapon for ages.
**[11:29] Glass**
It's not just important militarily,
**[11:32] Glass**
it's a symbol of their faith.
**[11:35] L'Arc**
And this is a chance to
own it. That is, to be a hero.
**[11:39] L'Arc**
Holding it grants you wealth, fame, and power.
**[11:42] Glass**
But it's not easy.
**[11:44] Glass**
The Vassal Weapon itself chooses its holder.
**[11:50] Raphtalia**
And now there's a candidate for it?
**[11:53] Man D**
Now, candidate, come forward!
**[11:55] Man D**
If you truly desire the katana, draw it!
**[12:04] Raphtalia**
That's...
**[12:06] Man B**
It's Kazuki-sama!
**[12:07] Man C**
He'll be the one to wield it?
**[12:33] Man D**
It's no good. She's not here.
**[12:34] Man D**
She may have run into a house.
**[12:37] Man D**
We'll search them all!
**[12:42] Raphtalia**
Why am I...
**[12:46] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
This is...
**[12:54] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
My slave crest!
**[12:56] (Flashback) Kazuki**
Grab her! She stole my katana!
**[12:59] (Flashback) L'Arc**
No, it's not yours.
**[13:01] (Flashback) Man D**
Don't move!
**[13:05] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I can't get rid of it!
**[13:07] (Flashback) L'Arc**
Right?
**[13:08] (Flashback) L'Arc**
Once you own a vassal weapon,
you can't get rid of it.
**[13:11] (Flashback) Therese**
That's not important now!
**[13:12] (Flashback) Glass**
We should withdraw.
**[13:16] (Flashback) Therese**
Here.
**[13:23] (Flashback) Therese**
Raphtalia-san!
**[13:25] (Flashback) L'Arc**
Lass? That idiot...
**[13:29] Raphtalia**
Why did it disappear?
**[13:44] Raphtalia**
My body... why?
**[13:47] Man D**
There she is!
**[14:12] Raphtalia**
*Naofumi-sama... Filo...*
**[14:19] Raphtalia**
* Just once... Just once more...*
* I want to see Naofumi-sama again.*
**[14:25] Raphtalia**
*He may be mad.*
**[14:27] Raphtalia**
*He may not pat me on the head anymore.*
**[14:35] Man D**
This way!
**[14:36] Man E**
Head around to the back! Hurry!
**[14:40] Raphtalia**
*But still...*
**[14:45] Raphtalia**
* But still... I want to see*
* you again, and apologize!*
**[14:49] Raphtalia**
*And if you'll let me,*
**[14:52] Raphtalia**
*I'll be your sword again.*
**[14:57] Raphtalia**
*No! That's not it!*
**[15:00] Raphtalia**
* You can get mad at me if you want.*
* You don't need to forgive me.*
**[15:05] Raphtalia**
*But I'll never leave you again!*
**[15:08] Raphtalia**
*And this time, I want to stand by your side,*
**[15:16] Raphtalia**
*not just be your sword!*
**[15:20] Girl A**
Who's there?
**[15:22] Girl A**
The Hero of the Katana Vassal Weapon?
**[15:32] Girl A**
This way.
**[15:37] Raphtalia**
Um...
**[15:41] Girl A**
My clan has served the Hero of the
Katana Vassal Weapon for generations.
**[15:47] Raphtalia**
I'm not a hero...
**[15:49] Girl A**
No, you are!
**[15:52] Girl A**
The vassal weapon chose you. That's proof.
**[16:00] Girl A**
You look wonderful, Dame Hero!
**[16:03] Man D**
This way!
**[16:04] Man E**
Surround the shrine!
**[16:06] Raphtalia**
It doesn't hurt anymore.
**[16:08] Raphtalia**
And I feel strong, too.
**[16:11] Raphtalia**
Thank you for this clothing.
**[16:15] Girl A**
Think nothing of it!
**[16:19] Raphtalia**
Goodbye.
**[16:28] Man D**
Those clothes...
**[16:29] Man E**
She's the Hero of the Katana Vassal Weapon!
**[16:31] Kazuki**
Move.
**[16:36] Kazuki**
You think you're a Hero already, huh?
**[16:39] Kazuki**
Wait, you look taller!
**[16:41] Raphtalia**
I don't want to shed meaningless blood.
**[16:44] Raphtalia**
Will you leave?
**[16:46] Kazuki**
Don't tell me what to do, thief!
**[16:49] Kazuki**
That belongs to me!
**[16:51] Kazuki**
I was supposed to be its wielder!
**[16:53] Kazuki**
Give it back now, and I'll let
you die a painless death.
**[16:58] Raphtalia**
I apologize for my lack of strength.
**[17:01] Raphtalia**
But if you don't get out of my way,
I can't guarantee your safety.
**[17:05] Kazuki**
Is that your way of saying you might
"accidentally" kill me, bitch?
**[17:15] Raphtalia**
Powder Snow.
**[17:19] Kazuki**
My magic...
**[17:27] Kazuki**
You demi-humans are so weak.
**[17:29] Kazuki**
All that talk, and you can't even hurt me?
**[17:38] Kazuki**
These are copies of Byakko,
one of the Four Holy Beasts.
**[17:42] Raphtalia**
Four Holy Beasts? Guardians,
like the Spirit Tortoise?
**[17:46] Kazuki**
That doesn't matter!
**[17:48] Kazuki**
What matters is that they're
my servants in combat,
**[17:50] Kazuki**
the product of many long hours of research!
**[17:53] Raphtalia**
So you're going to do the
same thing Kyo does?
**[17:56] Kazuki**
Don't you dare say that asshole's name!
**[17:58] Kazuki**
Fine, then. You're Byakko's dinner tonight.
**[18:03] Raphtalia**
I'm sorry.
**[18:12] Kazuki**
The Byakko copies...
**[18:14] Kazuki**
Impossible...
**[18:16] Raphtalia**
The true Guardian Beast we fought
was much stronger than them.
**[18:23] Raphtalia**
There's still time to reconsider.
**[18:24] Raphtalia**
Please, just leave.
**[18:27] Kazuki**
I can't do that, fool!
**[18:30] Raphtalia**
Instant Blade: Mist.
**[18:40] Raphtalia**
Don't move, please.
**[18:42] Raphtalia**
If you do, you'll end up
like those poor tigers.
**[18:48] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama!
**[18:50] Kazuki**
You two! Kill her!
**[18:52] Kazuki**
And take back my vassal weapon!
**[18:55] Girl B**
No, Kazuki-sama! You must not move!
**[18:58] Raphtalia**
You want Kyo's favor that badly?
**[19:00] Kazuki**
No! I'm going to put one over on him,
**[19:04] Kazuki**
and I need the vassal weapon to do it!
**[19:06] Raphtalia**
When you see Kyo, tell him...
**[19:08] Raphtalia**
That the Shield Hero is coming
to take revenge for Ost-san.
**[19:13] Kazuki**
The Shield Hero?
**[19:14] Kazuki**
Wait, are you the demi-human
kid who was with him?
**[19:18] Kazuki**
Hey, wait!
**[19:20] Kazuki**
Please!
**[19:22] Kazuki**
That really belongs to me!
**[19:24] Kazuki**
It must've been a mistake
that you ended up with it!
**[19:27] Kazuki**
Hey, are you listening?
**[19:29] Kazuki**
Wait! Wait!
**[19:37] Raphtalia**
I used a little too much power, I guess.
**[19:50] Raphtalia**
My body won't...
**[20:00] Raphtalia**
*It seems this is the end.*
**[20:05] Raphtalia**
*Naofumi-sama...*
**[20:07] Raphtalia**
*I did my best, didn't I?*
**[20:14] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[20:25] Filo**
Spiral Strike!
**[20:31] Filo**
It still feels weak!
**[20:37] Kizuna**
Hunting Skill: Blood Flower Strike!
**[20:48] Kizuna**
Okay, that's done!
**[20:51] Raphtalia**
Kizuna-san!
**[20:54] Rishia**
Raphtalia-san!
**[20:56] Filo**
Onee-chan!
**[20:58] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san! Filo!
**[21:05] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[21:08] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, I...
**[21:20] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama. Everyone.
**[21:23] Raphtalia**
Thank you for saving me.
**[21:29] Rishia**
Raphtalia-san, the crest on your chest...
**[21:32] Raphtalia**
Yes. It disappeared.
**[21:36] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, you're... you're free now.
**[21:42] Naofumi**
So...
**[21:46] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, I've returned.
**[21:52] Naofumi**
Yeah. Welcome back.

**[00:03] Filo**
Look! I can fly!
**[00:07] Raphtalia**
That's great, Filo!
**[00:09] Raphtalia**
But you don't look like a filolial.
**[00:13] Naofumi**
She's lost a lot of her attack power.
**[00:16] Filo**
Where'd you get those clothes,
Raphtalia-oneechan?
**[00:19] Raphtalia**
Someone gave them to me.
**[00:22] Naofumi**
A miko outfit?
**[00:23] Raphtalia**
Miko?
**[00:25] Rishia**
You look great!
**[00:28] Raphtalia**
Who's that?
**[00:29] Naofumi**
A shikigami I made from your
hair to help find you.
**[00:34] Naofumi**
Its name is...
**[00:35] Naofumi**
Raph-chan!
**[00:37] Raphtalia**
Raph-chan?
**[00:43] Kizuna**
There are three days until the Wave.
**[00:46] Kizuna**
* I was originally summoned as*
* one of the Cardinal Heroes*
**[00:50] Kizuna**
* to defeat the king of monsters,*
* the Emperor Dragon.*
**[00:54] Kizuna**
*But Naofumi was summoned for another reason.*
**[00:57] Kizuna**
*We're both Cardinal Heroes,*
**[00:58] Kizuna**
* but he was summoned to another*
* world to fight the Waves.*
**[01:03] Kizuna**
*What are the Waves like?*
**[01:06] Kizuna**
*Can I fight like him?*
**[01:11] Kizuna**
What's wrong, Chris?
**[01:13] Glass**
Kizuna!
**[01:19] Kazuki**
Damn that thief!
**[01:21] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama, don't move!
**[01:23] Kazuki**
I won't let it end like this!
**[01:25] Kyo**
You certainly screwed that up, huh?
**[01:29] Kyo**
You go to get a body for
my experiment, and they escape.
**[01:33] Kyo**
You try to take the Katana Vassal
Weapon without telling me.
**[01:36] Kyo**
And then the girl you let escape steals it.
**[01:39] Kyo**
Man, you're a total failure.
**[01:41] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama, you must not move!
**[01:43] Kazuki**
I'll kill her!
**[01:45] Kazuki**
You just shut up and sit back—
**[01:52] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama! Kazuki-sama!
**[01:53] Kyo**
They told you not to move, dumbass.
**[01:56] Yomogi**
Kyo...
**[01:57] Yomogi**
What do we do with the Cardinal Hero
from another world and the Katana Hero?
**[02:04] Kyo**
Hmm. What should we do?
**[02:09] Kyo**
The Boat Vassal Weapon, huh?
**[02:12] Kyo**
They'll probably head back to
Sikul with that, the bastards.
**[02:16] Kyo**
They need to die, but I'm
busy with my experiments.
**[02:20] Yomogi**
I'll go.
**[02:22] Yomogi**
I will eliminate anyone
who stands in your way.

Glass... You're hurting me. Let me go...
**[04:07] Glass**
I finally... I finally found you!
**[04:11] Glass**
I'll never let you go!
**[04:14] Kizuna**
No, you're killing me...
**[04:18] Raphtalia**
I'm happy for you, Glass-san.
**[04:20] Glass**
Thank you.
***SIGN*** Thank you.
***SIGN*** With your help, we were able to reunite Kizuna and Glass.
**[04:31] Naofumi**
I just went to find Raphtalia and Filo.
***SIGN*** I'm glad you found the people you care about, too.
**[04:41] Naofumi**
Thanks.
**[04:43] Kizuna**
Oh, right!
**[04:45] Kizuna**
Naofumi told me something...
**[04:48] Kizuna**
He said you three went to his world?
**[04:53] Kizuna**
I kept meaning to ask!
**[04:55] Kizuna**
What were you doing there?
**[04:57] Glass**
Um, well... we were...
**[05:03] Kizuna**
What? What the hell were you thinking?
**[05:06] Kizuna**
You went when the Waves showed
up to try and kill them?
**[05:09] Kizuna**
That makes you the bad guys!
**[05:12] Therese**
Kizuna, don't get too mad at Glass.
**[05:15] Kizuna**
I'm mad at you two, too!
**[05:19] Therese**
Sorry.
**[05:21] L'Arc**
Oh, jeez.
**[05:23] Man**
Young master.
**[05:25] L'Arc**
I see.
**[05:26] L'Arc**
Sorry, Kizuna.
**[05:28] L'Arc**
We'll talk about this later!
**[05:30] L'Arc**
You guys enjoy yourselves!
**[05:32] Kizuna**
Hey, no running!
**[05:34] Naofumi**
"Young master"?
**[05:35] Naofumi**
And why's he acting like he owns the place?
**[05:38] Therese**
L'Arc is the young king of Sikul.
**[05:42] Rishia**
He's a king?
**[05:44] Naofumi**
I see. That's why he's the "young master."
**[05:46] Kizuna**
I'm mad at you too, Naofumi!
**[05:48] Kizuna**
Why didn't you tell me?
**[05:50] Naofumi**
It wasn't the right time.
**[05:52] Naofumi**
And I could tell that this
would happen if I did.
**[05:55] Kizuna**
What is wrong with all of you?
**[05:58] Kizuna**
So you thought if you killed the
Cardinal Heroes in Naofumi's world,
**[06:00] Kizuna**
you could save our world from the Waves?
**[06:03] Kizuna**
Is that even true?
**[06:05] Glass**
Well...
**[06:06] Kizuna**
Even if it is true, it was
wrong to rely on that!
**[06:12] Kizuna**
I'll find another way!
**[06:14] Kizuna**
There has to be a way to
save his world *and* ours!
**[06:20] Naofumi**
And if there isn't?
**[06:24] Naofumi**
What if there's no way for our worlds
to survive besides destroying each other?
**[06:29] Kizuna**
If that happens...
**[06:35] Kizuna**
I won't fight you!
**[06:38] Kizuna**
I don't want to fight you!
**[06:40] Kizuna**
I don't know how to avoid it yet,
**[06:44] Kizuna**
but I'll find a way!
**[06:46] Kizuna**
And if I don't find it, I'll look again!
**[06:48] Kizuna**
Will you look with me?
**[06:53] Kizuna**
While we look, I'll help
you beat this Kyo guy.
**[06:56] Kizuna**
I want to help you!
**[06:58] Kizuna**
So...
**[07:02] Naofumi**
Once we defeat him, we're heading home.
**[07:05] Naofumi**
There's not nearly enough time.
**[07:09] Naofumi**
When I get home, I'll look into what
I can find about the Waves again.
**[07:15] Kizuna**
Thank you, Naofumi.
**[07:24] Girl B**
You're telling the truth, right?
**[07:26] Girl B**
You can really bring him back?
**[07:29] Kyo**
Yeah, that's what I said.
**[07:32] Kyo**
Look.
**[07:35] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama!
**[07:36] Girl B**
I want to make the ones who
did this to him suffer!
**[07:41] Girl B**
Please, Kyo!
**[07:42] Girl B**
Give us power!
**[07:45] Kyo**
First you boss me around,
**[07:46] Kyo**
then you come to me for help?
**[07:48] Kyo**
You people really are shitheads.
**[07:51] Kyo**
But, well... you've got spirit, at least.
**[08:00] Kizuna**
If we're going to Kyo's
place to kick his butt,
**[08:02] Kizuna**
we need equipment!
**[08:05] L'Arc**
I'm glad it all worked out, lad!
**[08:09] Naofumi**
Yeah, after you ran away and left your
buddies behind, "Your Majesty."
**[08:13] Naofumi**
Or should I say, "young master"?
**[08:15] L'Arc**
Who told you?
**[08:17] L'Arc**
Therese?
**[08:18] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[08:19] Naofumi**
But I would've found out
at some point anyway.
**[08:22] Naofumi**
You seem popular, young master.
**[08:25] L'Arc**
Stop calling me that!
**[08:27] L'Arc**
It's embarrassing!
**[08:29] Naofumi**
Then stop calling me "lad."
**[08:31] L'Arc**
They're totally different things!
**[08:33] Naofumi**
How, exactly, "young master"?
**[08:34] L'Arc**
I said stop!
**[08:41] Kizuna**
Romina, you here?
**[08:43] Romina**
Kizuna? Where have you been?
**[08:46] Kizuna**
We can talk later! For now, get
me the best equipment you have!
**[08:50] Romina**
Sheesh. It's been years
and you haven't changed.
**[08:55] L'Arc**
Hey.
**[08:56] Romina**
You're all with her, huh?
**[08:58] Romina**
And...
**[09:03] Romina**
Something's going on, I see.
**[09:07] Romina**
The Katana Vassal Weapon?
**[09:10] Romina**
That's a dangerous thing to
be bringing into my shop.
**[09:13] Kizuna**
Well, I'll tell you how she
got it some other time.
**[09:16] Kizuna**
For now, it needs a sheath,
so she's not walking around with it bare.
**[09:20] Romina**
Well, you can't take one off the shelf.
**[09:22] Romina**
It needs to be custom made.
**[09:23] Kizuna**
And this, too!
**[09:25] Kizuna**
This is the equipment Naofumi and his
friends were using in their world.
**[09:29] Kizuna**
Can you do something about it?
**[09:30] Romina**
What is this stuff?
**[09:32] Romina**
Well, it'll be a fun story,
if nothing else. I'll do what I can.
**[09:36] Romina**
But it'll take a week.
**[09:37] Kizuna**
It needs to be done in a night!
**[09:39] Romina**
That's impossible!
**[09:41] Kizuna**
Please! Please! Please!
**[09:43] Raphtalia**
It's like watching you and the blacksmith.
**[09:47] Filo**
That's right!
**[09:52] Kizuna**
What's going on?
**[09:56] Kizuna**
You're...
**[09:59] Yomogi**
I'm Yomogi Emarl.
**[10:02] Yomogi**
I've come to kill you! For Kyo!
**[10:07] Kizuna**
For Kyo?
**[10:09] Yomogi**
That's right.
**[10:11] Yomogi**
I've come to deliver divine punishment to
the holders of the Cardinal and Vassal Weapons.
**[10:16] Yomogi**
How cowardly!
**[10:17] Yomogi**
You outnumber me so!
**[10:19] Kizuna**
Wait, didn't you attack us?
**[10:23] Naofumi**
Who is this?
**[10:24] Romina**
Can you do this outside town?
**[10:27] Yomogi**
You foul vermin!
**[10:29] Yomogi**
But I can't let you beat me!
**[10:31] Yomogi**
Die!
**[10:31] Filo**
Here I go!
**[10:36] Filo**
I'll help you with songs!
**[10:42] Rishia**
Thanks, Filo-chan!
**[10:47] Yomogi**
I came here alone!
**[10:49] Yomogi**
Shouldn't you try to fight me one-on-one?
**[10:52] Rishia**
You might be right!
**[10:54] Kizuna**
Don't agree with her!
**[10:58] Kizuna**
Huh? I knew it!
**[11:00] Naofumi**
Kizuna, fall back and provide
support or something!
**[11:02] Kizuna**
That's mean!
**[11:04] Yomogi**
This is fine, though.
**[11:05] Yomogi**
If I can kill you all here, it'll save
me from having to hunt you down later!
**[11:09] Yomogi**
I'll finish this here!
**[11:10] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, give her what she wants.
**[11:13] Raphtalia**
Understood.
**[11:14] Raphtalia**
Instant Blade: Mist!
**[11:16] Yomogi**
Thunder Sword!
**[11:22] Raphtalia**
That sword!
**[11:23] Yomogi**
I'm not done yet!
**[11:27] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[11:33] Raphtalia**
Directional Blade of Heaven!
**[11:37] Filo**
Wow! She's strong!
**[11:41] Yomogi**
I should have known I stood no chance
against your superior numbers.
**[11:44] Naofumi**
There's something I don't like
about the way you say that.
**[11:46] L'Arc**
Don't forget that those
numbers include us!
**[11:52] Romina**
Not in town!
**[11:56] Naofumi**
L'Arc!
**[11:59] L'Arc**
I enjoyed when we tried to kill each other,
**[12:01] L'Arc**
but it feels better to be fighting
on the same side, Naofumi.
**[12:05] Naofumi**
I'm fine with either, L'Arc.
**[12:08] L'Arc**
Yeah, right.
**[12:10] Therese**
Bejeweled Blizzard!
**[12:12] Glass**
Zero-Stance Rondo: Reverse Four Seasons!
**[12:25] Naofumi**
Look. That sword...
**[12:27] Kizuna**
This doesn't look good.
**[12:30] Yomogi**
I can't... I can't lose here!
**[12:34] Kizuna**
Hey, um, Yomogi, was it?
**[12:36] Kizuna**
If you don't want to die,
you should throw away that sword!
**[12:40] Yomogi**
What a childish way to get me to surrender!
**[12:42] Yomogi**
Kyo made me this sword!
I won't let go of it!
**[12:45] L'Arc**
He made it? That's even worse!
**[12:50] Naofumi**
I don't want any part of whatever's
going to happen next.
**[12:51] L'Arc**
Agreed.
**[12:53] L'Arc**
Therese!

**[12:57] L'Arc**

**[13:09] Yomogi**
What is this?
**[13:17] Kizuna**
That's not good!

Bait Lure!
**[13:23] Kizuna**
Blood Flower Strike!
**[13:29] Glass**

**[13:34] Naofumi**
Get down!
**[13:43] Yomogi**
Kill me!
**[13:44] Kizuna**
Wow, people really say that.
**[13:47] Kizuna**
You just saw for yourself, didn't you?
**[13:49] Kizuna**
I can't kill anyone.
**[13:53] Kizuna**
Looks like Kyo wanted to kill you,
and us, with that sword.
**[13:59] Yomogi**
That's impossible!
**[14:01] Yomogi**
Kyo wouldn't do that!
**[14:02] Naofumi**
Yeah? Sounds to me like exactly
the kind of thing he'd do.
**[14:06] Yomogi**
Shut up! You don't know anything about Kyo!
**[14:10] Yomogi**
He's just willing to make sacrifices
for his noble goal, that's all!
**[14:15] Kizuna**
And what is this "noble goal"?
**[14:19] Yomogi**
You're one of the Four Heroes, right?
**[14:22] Yomogi**
So you should know what Kyo wants.
**[14:25] Kizuna**
Nope. What is it?
**[14:28] Yomogi**
To stop the Waves.
**[14:35] Naofumi**
Kizuna, what are you going to do with her?
**[14:38] Kizuna**
Talk to her!
**[14:40] Kizuna**
She may give us a way to stop the Waves.
**[14:44] Glass**
But why bring her to our house?
**[14:47] Glass**
We could talk to her in the
castle's interrogation rooms.
**[14:50] Kizuna**
Do you think she'd tell us the truth
if we tried to talk to her there?
**[14:53] Kizuna**
I want her to know that we're not her enemies!
**[14:59] Naofumi**
We *are* her enemies!
**[15:01] Naofumi**
You only say that 'cause you
don't know what Kyo's done!
**[15:05] Kizuna**
I didn't see it happen,
but I know what you told me!
**[15:09] Kizuna**
What he's done is terrible, but...
**[15:13] Kizuna**
If he's like us...
**[15:15] Kizuna**
If he wants to save
the world from the Waves...
**[15:18] Kizuna**
We may be able to solve this
through talking, not fighting!
**[15:22] Naofumi**
No way!
**[15:23] Naofumi**
He doesn't care what happens to our world!
**[15:27] Naofumi**
That's why he killed Ost... and so many others!
**[15:31] Kizuna**
I know that!
**[15:33] Kizuna**
I just want to know the truth!
**[15:35] Kizuna**
About the Waves! And if there's a way to stop
the Waves without having to destroy your world!
**[15:43] Naofumi**
Fine.
**[15:45] Naofumi**
I'm going to keep getting ready
for the assault on Kyo's base.
**[15:48] Kizuna**
Yeah, go do that.
**[15:50] Naofumi**
Make sure you make her tell
us where his base is!
**[15:54] Kizuna**
Of course!
**[15:57] Kizuna**
Would you guys show Naofumi around the town?
**[16:01] Glass**
All right.
**[16:05] L'Arc**
You haven't gone crazy, have you?
**[16:08] Kizuna**
Of course not.
**[16:10] L'Arc**
Fine, then.
**[16:14] Kizuna**
Sit down and relax.
**[16:18] Kizuna**
It's been years since I've been back.
**[16:22] Kizuna**
It's so clean!
**[16:24] Kizuna**
The others must've kept it up.
**[16:32] Kizuna**
Here you go.
**[16:34] Kizuna**
Huh? You can sit down.
**[16:36] Yomogi**
I'm surprised.
**[16:38] Yomogi**
I wondered what the fortress
of Kyo's foes would look like.
**[16:43] Yomogi**
But it's completely normal.
**[16:45] Kizuna**
Sit down.
**[16:52] Yomogi**
It's different in many ways,
but reminds me of home.
**[16:56] Kizuna**
I see.
**[16:57] Yomogi**
The place Kyo and I grew up.
**[17:01] Kizuna**
You don't have to tell me
anything you don't want to.
**[17:03] Kizuna**
But would you tell me about you and Kyo?
**[17:08] Yomogi**
Kyo and I were childhood friends.
**[17:14] Yomogi**
He was always a strange child.
**[17:18] Yomogi**
He never played with anyone.
He wore strange clothes.
**[17:21] Yomogi**
But when I talked to him, he would
tell me all kinds of things.
**[17:26] Yomogi**
About his books. His country. The Waves.
**[17:30] Kizuna**
The Waves, too?
**[17:32] Yomogi**
Yes.
**[17:33] Yomogi**
Kyo showed his genius from an early age.
**[17:36] Yomogi**
He would look up anything he wanted to
know on his own. He knew everything.
**[17:41] Yomogi**
I took a liking to him,
and learned many things myself.
**[17:46] Yomogi**
As I started to learn from him,
to hear what he had to say,
**[17:50] Yomogi**
I started to want to help him.
**[17:54] Yomogi**
I'm not smart like him, though, so all
I could do was be his bodyguard.
**[17:59] Yomogi**
I know more than anybody
else what he's like.
**[18:02] Yomogi**
I've seen him go too far, and ignored it.
**[18:05] Kizuna**
For his "noble goal" of stopping the Waves?
**[18:10] Yomogi**
Yes. But their faces when
they say his name...
**[18:15] Yomogi**
Did he do something to make
them hate him so much?
**[18:19] Yomogi**
Is he doing things that would
put him beyond redemption,
**[18:21] Yomogi**
in a place where I can't see?
**[18:24] Yomogi**
If that's true, even if we stop
the Waves, it won't matter!
**[18:28] Yomogi**
If that's true, I want to stop him.
**[18:32] Kizuna**
Then I can help you.
**[18:35] Kizuna**
We're fighting not to
defeat him, but to talk to him.
**[18:39] Yomogi**
Thank you.
**[18:40] Yomogi**
But he must be made to atone for his sins.
**[18:45] Kizuna**
You're sure?
**[18:46] Kizuna**
He's your... childhood friend, right?
**[18:50] Yomogi**
That's why he has to atone!
**[18:51] Yomogi**
I'll suffer alongside him,
**[18:53] Yomogi**
even if we're put to death!
**[18:57] Kizuna**
I see.
**[19:01] Romina**
I did what you said, and finished
it all in a single night.
**[19:05] Naofumi**
The crystal on the chest
seems bigger than before.
***SIGN*** Barbaroi Armor +2
**[19:11] Romina**
I combined it with the crystal from
the Emperor Dragon you defeated.
**[19:14] Romina**
Now you should be able to
use your armor here, too.
**[19:19] Romina**
I used the bones and skin of the Emperor Dragon
and Guardian Beast to make that armor.
**[19:24] Romina**
It was hard to get them to work, you know.
**[19:26] Naofumi**
What's an "Emperor Dragon?"
**[19:28] Kizuna**
The king of monsters, which I defeated.
**[19:31] Kizuna**
Its materials are used in
my weapon and Glass's, too.
**[19:34] Naofumi**
Wow.
**[19:35] Raphtalia**
Thank you.
**[19:39] Romina**
I tailored that outfit to
fit the bird girl, too.
**[19:42] Romina**
It should increase her attack power.
**[19:44] Naofumi**
You're right.
***SIGN*** Filo Pajamas
**[19:46] Naofumi**
With this, Filo can fight again.
**[19:49] Kizuna**
Wow!
**[19:50] Kizuna**
Great job, Romina.
**[19:51] Romina**
You'll say "wow" when you see the bill, too.
**[19:56] Kizuna**
Here you go, L'Arc-niisan.
**[19:58] L'Arc**
Why?
**[19:59] Kizuna**
Your nation's in danger, too.
**[20:01] Kizuna**
The young master of Sikul
needs to be the one to pay.
**[20:05] L'Arc**
Romina! Send the bill to the castle!
**[20:08] Naofumi**
It's hard being the king, huh, young master?
**[20:10] L'Arc**
Don't call me that, lad!
**[20:12] Kizuna**
If something goes wrong,
I'll use my portal skill,
**[20:14] Kizuna**
Return Codex, to jump with you.
**[20:17] Yomogi**
Okay.
**[20:21] Glass**
If we can stop Kyo, we may
be able to avert war.
**[20:27] Therese**
Yes, the next Wave is
almost here. It's okay—
**[20:30] Therese**
We have to do something.
**[20:32] Kizuna**
Well, we've got a little
time left. We'll be fine.
**[20:36] Naofumi**
What is it?
**[20:37] Kizuna**
The Wave countdown...
**[20:43] Kyo**
Different worlds, ruled by different laws...
**[20:46] Kyo**
Shatter their different barriers
and manifest its power here!
**[20:55] Kyo**
It's finally complete!
**[20:57] Kyo**
The Wave of Calamity, Dimension Wave!
**[21:04] Glass**
What is this?
**[21:05] L'Arc**
Don't tell me...
**[21:07] Therese**
Impossible!
**[21:08] Therese**
There was still time on the timer!
**[21:11] Naofumi**
This can't be happening...
**[21:13] Naofumi**
Kizuna!
**[21:14] Kizuna**
Naofumi!
**[21:34] Kizuna**
Yomogi-san?
**[21:37] Yomogi**
That's... Kyo's lab!
**[21:42] Yomogi**
He wasn't trying to stop the Waves!
**[21:45] Yomogi**
He was... he was trying to create one!
**[21:53] Kizuna**
So this...
**[21:57] Kizuna**
is what Naofumi, Glass, and the
others were fighting... the Waves!

*Before I was summoned to another world,*
**[00:04] Naofumi**
* I was an ordinary otaku who dabbled*
* in a little bit of everything.*
**[00:10] Kyo**
* The real world is a shithole.*
* I don't belong here.*
**[00:14] Kyo**
* And my games were the one thing*
* that helped me forget that.*
**[00:18] Naofumi**
* I spent most of my time*
* selling items to relax,*
**[00:20] Naofumi**
* but sometimes I'd lead clans*
* doing high-difficulty content.*
**[00:25] Kyo**
*I was a genius!*
**[00:27] Kyo**
*I could do anything!*
**[00:28] Kyo**
* My experiments and inventions made me*
* famous throughout the whole country!*
**[00:32] Naofumi**
* Online games were just one of many*
* things I enjoyed as an otaku.*

***SIGN*** I hacked your IP

**[01:17] Kyo**
Different worlds, ruled by different laws.
**[01:21] Kyo**
Shatter their different barriers

**[01:26] Kyo**
The Wave of Calamity, Dimension Wave!
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
**[01:35] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-san, this is...
***SIGN*** Episode 12 Reason to Fight
**[01:37] Naofumi**
Yes! That's a Wave!
**[01:40] Raphtalia**
Then the others...
**[01:42] Naofumi**
They were sent to the Wave because they're this
world's Cardinal Heroes and their followers.
**[01:47] Raphtalia**
No...
**[01:48] Naofumi**
There was still time!
**[01:50] Naofumi**
Why?
**[01:52] Filo**
Look, Master!
***SIGN*** Get in, everyone!
**[02:02] Naofumi**
Where are the others?
***SIGN*** They stayed to help with the Waves.
**[02:09] Yomogi**
It's all Kyo's doing...
**[02:12] Yomogi**
He used the power he stole from the
Spirit Tortoise to create a Wave!
**[02:21] Naofumi**
You knew, and you still helped him?
**[02:27] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[02:29] Yomogi**
But I didn't think he'd do this!
**[02:34] Yomogi**
I thought he'd use the Spirit Tortoise's power
to protect this world from the Waves!
**[02:43] Naofumi**
So, what are you even doing here?
**[02:47] Yomogi**
Kizuna told me...
**[02:50] Yomogi**
they'd handle the Waves.
**[02:53] Yomogi**
And that I should help you instead.
**[02:56] Yomogi**
Kizuna believed in me,
even though I'm a fool.
**[03:01] Yomogi**
For her sake, I will throw aside my
pride and bring the Shield Hero to Kyo!
***SIGN*** As the Wielder of the Boat Vassal Weapon, I will bring you to Kyo.
**[03:13] Naofumi**
All right.
**[03:15] Naofumi**
Take me to where that bastard's waiting!
**[03:20] Kizuna**
Bait Lure!
**[03:24] Glass**
Blank-Stance Rondo: Moon Break!
**[03:32] Kizuna**
Thanks, Glass!
**[03:33] Glass**
It was nothing...
**[03:35] L'Arc**
They just keep coming!
**[03:37] L'Arc**
How do we stop this?
**[03:39] Glass**
We may need to defeat Kyo,
the one who summoned it!
**[03:45] Kizuna**
Naofumi...
**[03:49] Naofumi**
This is it?
**[03:52] Yomogi**
Kyo's lab.
**[03:55] Naofumi**
Thank you, Ethnobalt!
**[03:57] Naofumi**
We'll handle the rest!
**[04:00] Naofumi**
The others have seen
the Waves, but Kizuna hasn't.
**[04:04] Naofumi**
She'll feel a lot better with you there.
***SIGN*** All right.
***SIGN*** Stay safe, everyone!
**[04:11] Rishia**
You too, Ethnobalt!
**[04:18] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[04:23] Naofumi**
These are all used in
Kyo's experiments, huh?
**[04:27] Yomogi**
Yes, that's right.
**[04:33] Girl B**
Vengeance... Vengeance for Kazuki-sama!
**[04:37] Raphtalia**
These are...
**[04:39] Yomogi**
Chimeras?
**[04:40] Yomogi**
A fusion of a human and a Byakko copy?
**[04:44] Yomogi**
Kyo!
**[04:48] Rishia**
That's...
**[04:49] Rishia**
The same sword Yomogi-san was using?
**[04:52] Girl B**
We'll defeat you...
**[04:54] Girl B**
If we defeat you, Kazuki-sama will come back!
**[04:57] Girl B**
Kyo promised us!
**[05:00] Naofumi**
So he talked them into
being sacrificial pawns?
**[05:04] Naofumi**
Like he did with you?
**[05:06] Yomogi**
Stop...
**[05:07] Yomogi**
That won't bring your master back!
**[05:13] Raphtalia**
I'm sorry, but...
**[05:15] Raphtalia**
We don't have time to waste here!
**[05:25] Girl B**
It only took an instant?
**[05:27] Raphtalia**
I think it's because of the
jewel that Therese-san gave me!
**[05:31] Naofumi**
It gives you the same power
as Filo's High Quick?
**[05:35] Filo**
I'm fast, too!
**[05:40] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama...
**[05:43] Girl B**
For Kazuki-sama...
**[05:47] Naofumi**
No!
**[05:48] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[05:49] Naofumi**
Second Shield!
**[05:51] Naofumi**
Dritte Shield!
**[05:52] Naofumi**
Shield Prison!
**[05:54] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[06:07] Naofumi**
Are you guys okay?
**[06:08] Raphtalia**
Yes!
**[06:09] Rishia**
I think so...
**[06:12] Filo**
It's so dusty!
**[06:18] Kyo**
Well, so much for this lab!
**[06:22] Kyo**
But you still screwed it up,
like everybody else.
**[06:26] Kyo**
You're all useless.
**[06:27] Yomogi**
Kyo!
**[06:28] Kyo**
Hey there, Shield Shithead!
**[06:31] Kyo**
I'm not happy at all to see you again.
**[06:34] Naofumi**
Agreed.
**[06:36] Naofumi**
But coming here was the
only way to kick your ass.
**[06:45] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama! Kazuki-sama!
**[06:49] Kyo**
See! I brought him back!
**[06:53] Yomogi**
That's impossible...
**[06:56] Naofumi**
A mirror?
**[06:58] Yomogi**
He didn't come back to life!
**[07:01] Yomogi**
That's a homunculus Kyo made!
**[07:05] Yomogi**
The soul that dwelled in his
body during life is gone!
**[07:09] Yomogi**
The body is empty!
**[07:11] Yomogi**
He forced the soul of the Wielder of
the Mirror Vassal Weapon into it!
**[07:17] Naofumi**
What?
**[07:18] Rishia**
The Wielder of the Mirror Vassal Weapon?
The one who went missing?
**[07:24] Kyo**
Spoiler warning, bitch.
**[07:28] Yomogi**
No blood flows through his veins.
His soul is a different person's.
**[07:32] Yomogi**
That isn't the comrade they love!
**[07:37] Girl B**
No... No!
**[07:41] Kyo**
Well, there you go.
**[07:43] Kyo**
Have fun dying against a dead guy, morons!
**[07:48] Naofumi**
I won't let you get away!
**[07:52] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[07:54] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, I can handle this.
**[07:56] Raphtalia**
I can hear the voice of the
Wielder of the Mirror Vassal Weapon.
**[08:00] Raphtalia**
He's begging to be released.
**[08:02] Yomogi**
I get it...
**[08:04] Yomogi**
The Vassal Weapon Wielders are resonating!
**[08:08] Yomogi**
Go, Shield Hero!
**[08:10] Yomogi**
And stop Kyo!
**[08:13] Filo**
I'll help!
**[08:15] Naofumi**
Okay!
**[08:17] Naofumi**
Let's go, Rishia!
**[08:19] Rishia**
Um... okay!
**[08:31] Filo**
Wow!
**[08:32] Filo**
I can fight like I did before!
**[08:42] Filo**
What is that?
**[08:43] Yomogi**
As someone who helped Kyo,
**[08:46] Yomogi**
is it my duty to put their
suffering to an end?
**[08:51] Raphtalia**
I'll liberate you now.
**[08:55] Naofumi**
Kyo!
**[09:05] Kyo**
Finally!
**[09:07] Kyo**
It's finally just the two of you!
**[09:10] Kyo**
The green-haired moron
and the Shield Shithead!
**[09:13] Kyo**
You're the two that I need to kill myself!
**[09:19] Naofumi**
So you caused that last
Wave using Ost's power?
**[09:24] Kyo**
Of course I did!
**[09:25] Kyo**
Can't you tell?
**[09:27] Kyo**
This is all that turtle's power!
**[09:30] Kyo**
I used a lot of it,
**[09:32] Kyo**
but I can just go back to
your world and get more!
**[09:38] Kyo**
Oh, but I guess the stupid turtle is dead.
**[09:42] Kyo**
So what's the other one again?
Some kind of big bird?
**[09:45] Naofumi**
Shut up.
**[09:48] Kyo**
I can't hear you—
**[09:49] Naofumi**
*Shut up*!
**[09:55] Naofumi**
I'm sick of you.
**[09:58] Naofumi**
Sick of hearing your voice, sick of
seeing that smirk on your face...
**[10:01] Rishia**
Naofumi-san?
**[10:04] Naofumi**
Who the hell do you think you are?
**[10:06] Naofumi**
Coming into our world and treating
it like it's your toy!
**[10:12] Kyo**
Right now, you're the ones in my world.
**[10:16] Kyo**
So it's "our world" now?
**[10:18] Kyo**
Guess you really are the Shield Hero now!
**[10:24] Kyo**
Yes! That's it!
**[10:26] Kyo**
That face is what I wanted to see!
**[10:29] Kyo**
I loved what I saw when I took
the demi-human girl from you!
**[10:35] Kyo**
Shame things with the bird
girl didn't work out!
**[10:38] Kyo**
She was supposed to be fried chicken
by the time you found her!
**[10:43] Kyo**
And all of that's what you get for
playing the hero and ruining my plan!
**[10:53] Rishia**
Naofumi-san?
**[10:55] Kyo**
How do you feel right now?
**[10:57] Kyo**
Angry? Pissed off?
**[10:59] Kyo**
Ready to rip me in half?
**[11:01] Kyo**
I bet you do, don't you?
**[11:03] Kyo**
Don't you? Don't you?!
**[11:05] Naofumi**
Yeah, that's right!
**[11:07] Naofumi**
You messed with my friends!
**[11:10] Naofumi**
Now shut up, so I can kill you!
**[11:13] Kyo**
Just try it!
**[11:20] Rishia**
Naofumi-san! You can't use that!
**[11:23] Naofumi**
Foolish sinner, I sentence you to cast
your screams unto the heavens!
**[11:28] Naofumi**
Within the dragon's jaws born from my flesh,
**[11:31] Naofumi**
become an offering to the gods as you howl!
**[11:34] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[11:37] Dragon**
So you chose to use it.
**[11:43] Dragon**
You chose to call me, Iwatani Naofumi!
**[11:48] Dragon**
Now I will become one with you!
**[11:58] Kyo**
Haha! Look at this loser!
***SIGN*** Wrath Shield
**[12:01] Kyo**
He got so mad he let his
shield take him over!
**[12:04] Kyo**
"Friends"? You expect me
to believe that bullshit?
**[12:08] Kyo**
You control them with the Slave
Crest and Monster Crest.
**[12:12] Kyo**
If they really were your "friends,"
you wouldn't need to enslave them!
**[12:16] Rishia**
No!
**[12:17] Rishia**
Naofumi-san is...
**[12:18] Kyo**
The fact that you helped your slaves get a
bit stronger doesn't change a thing, you idiot!
**[12:26] Rishia**
Naofumi-san, stay in control!
**[12:31] Naofumi**
So what?
**[12:34] Rishia**
Naofumi-san?
**[12:36] Naofumi**
Both Raphtalia and Filo
were useless at first!
**[12:41] Naofumi**
But now they're useful!
**[12:44] Naofumi**
That's why I keep them around!
**[12:46] Naofumi**
What's wrong with that?
**[12:49] Naofumi**
But what the hell are you?
**[12:52] Naofumi**
You disgusting slut!
**[12:55] Naofumi**
You pissed me off just as much as Kyo!
**[13:00] Naofumi**
Why am I stuck taking care of a girl whose
life goal was to get into the Bow Hero's pants?
**[13:10] Naofumi**
Ugly whore!
**[13:13] Naofumi**
I'll kill you first!
**[13:18] Rishia**
I finally heard what you really think.
**[13:23] Rishia**
I always wondered what
you thought about me.
**[13:31] Rishia**
I'm okay with that.
**[13:35] Rishia**
But... Raphtalia-san and Filo-chan
are different, right?
**[13:40] Rishia**
Sure, maybe you were using them at first.
**[13:45] Rishia**
But who could blame you?
**[13:48] Rishia**
There were things you had to do, even if
it meant making them your slaves!
**[13:57] Rishia**
They understand that!
**[14:00] Rishia**
And they know that it's different now!
**[14:05] Rishia**
That you think of us as treasured friends.
**[14:11] Rishia**
So Ost-san also...
**[14:17] Rishia**
I don't know who you are,
but get out of Naofumi-san!
**[14:29] Kyo**
What are you doing?
**[14:32] Kyo**
You're ruining my show!
**[14:36] Kyo**
Forget it.
**[14:37] Kyo**
I'll just kill him while he's in crazy mode.
**[14:40] Kyo**
But of course, you'll die first!
**[14:50] Kyo**
Again? Damn it!
**[15:01] Rishia**
So even after all this, you're still
relying on the Spirit Tortoise's power?
**[15:05] Rishia**
You're weak!
**[15:07] Kyo**
What... What are you?
**[15:12] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[15:13] Rishia**
Wake up! Naofumi-san!
**[15:19] Kyo**
You *bitch*!
**[15:26] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[15:30] Dragon**
What's wrong?
**[15:31] Dragon**
Don't let that woman's words deceive you!
**[15:34] Naofumi**
No, you're the one trying to deceive me!
**[15:38] Dragon**
I'm making you an offer!
**[15:40] Dragon**
As a Cardinal Hero, it's your
task to fight the Waves!
**[15:45] Naofumi**
My task?
**[15:47] Dragon**
And for that, you need my power!
**[15:51] Dragon**
My power, which burns everything!
**[15:54] Naofumi**
Burns everything...
**[15:57] Dragon**
Yes. That's right...
**[16:03] Ost**
I told you, didn't I, Shield Hero?
**[16:06] Ost**
You don't need these flames.
**[16:09] Naofumi**
Ost?
**[16:11] Ost**
Do you intend to use those
flames to kill my friends?
**[16:16] Ost**
You decide what your task is.
**[16:25] Ost**
Now stand up.
**[16:30] Ost**
Everybody's waiting!
**[16:41] Naofumi**
Raphtalia... Filo?
**[16:51] Naofumi**
Rishia!
**[16:55] Kyo**
What?
**[16:57] Kyo**
Damn it!
**[17:00] Kyo**
I'll burn you all to ash!
**[17:03] Kyo**
Forbidden Tome: Revelation!
**[17:06] Kyo**
Die!
**[17:16] Kyo**
I bet I can keep this
up longer than you can!
**[17:24] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[17:24] Filo**
Master!
**[17:26] Naofumi**
Thanks, Raphtalia! Filo!
**[17:31] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[17:32] Naofumi**
You too, Rishia!
**[17:34] Naofumi**
You stopped the Wrath Shield,
and my anger, from taking me over!
**[17:39] Naofumi**
But this anger, this pain, this sorrow...
**[17:43] Naofumi**
I have to accept it and move forward!
**[17:48] Kyo**
The Mirror Vassal Weapon?
**[17:51] Naofumi**
Ost was right!
**[17:53] Naofumi**
I'll decide my task!
**[17:57] Naofumi**
Kyo Ethnina!
**[17:59] Naofumi**
Sorry for playing hero
and ruining your plans.
**[18:04] Naofumi**
I'm sure you had your reasons
for thinking this was right...
**[18:08] Naofumi**
So I'm not doing this for the sake of
some great task or for what's right!
**[18:13] Naofumi**
I'm doing it for myself!
Of my own free will!
**[18:16] Naofumi**
I will defeat you!
**[18:31] Kyo**
Great!
**[18:32] Kyo**
Enjoy your victory!
**[18:35] Kyo**
Guys like you always end up looking
like fools in the end!
**[18:40] Kyo**
As you'll find out soon!
**[18:59] Naofumi**
This is...
**[19:10] Raphtalia**
Ost-san?
**[19:13] Yomogi**
Shield Hero... and his followers!
**[19:18] Yomogi**
Thank you... for defeating Kyo!
**[19:23] Kizuna**
Hey! Hey!
**[19:34] Kizuna**
I see.
**[19:35] Kizuna**
So Kyo's dead, huh?
**[19:38] L'Arc**
We found the missing Mirror Vassal Weapon, too.
**[19:41] L'Arc**
We won't have to worry
about the war for now.
**[19:43] Therese**
Now it's time for the king to show
us what he can do, huh, L'Arc?
**[19:46] Naofumi**
Good luck with that, young master.
**[19:48] L'Arc**
Stop calling me that, lad!
**[19:50] Glass**
What will you do now, Naofumi?
**[19:53] Naofumi**
I don't know.
**[19:54] Naofumi**
I thought that I had to ride the
Wave home, the same way you did.
**[19:58] Kizuna**
But now it's gone.
**[20:00] Kizuna**
And there's about...
a month until the next one.
**[20:04] Kizuna**
Why not relax here a little until it comes?
**[20:06] Naofumi**
I guess I don't have a choice.
**[20:08] L'Arc**
Sounds great!
**[20:10] L'Arc**
Let's head back to the
castle and have a banquet!
**[20:12] Kizuna**
Sounds great!
**[20:14] Kizuna**
Let's go fishing, too!
**[20:16] Kizuna**
I was hoping we could—
**[20:19] Kizuna**
Naofumi?
***SIGN*** Mission Complete

**[20:24] Naofumi**
There's not even a minute left.
**[20:27] Raphtalia**
Thank you for everything!
**[20:28] Rishia**
Um, let's meet again!
**[20:31] Filo**
Bye!
**[20:33] Kizuna**
Wait!
**[20:34] Kizuna**
What about the fishing? And the banquet?
**[20:37] L'Arc**
Don't be ridiculous, Kizuna.
**[20:40] Kizuna**
No...
**[20:41] Naofumi**
Well, I kind of saw it coming.
**[20:43] Kizuna**
Naofumi, you jerk!
**[20:46] Kizuna**
I haven't even thanked you!
**[20:53] Kizuna**
Thank you.
**[20:54] Kizuna**
Thank you, Naofumi!
**[20:56] Kizuna**
As one of the Cardinal Heroes,
I'll do my best here!
**[21:00] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[21:02] Kizuna**
Can I come see you sometimes?
**[21:05] Kizuna**
I mean, I don't know if I even can.
**[21:07] Naofumi**
Yeah. You're welcome, as long as
you're not coming to kill me.
**[21:10] Kizuna**
Dummy... You know I wouldn't...
**[21:13] Naofumi**
See you around, Kizuna.
**[21:25] Kizuna**
Up until the last minute, Naofumi was...
**[22:33] Naofumi**
*After I returned home,*
**[22:36] Naofumi**
* I was given a medal by the queen*
* for defeating the Spirit Tortoise,*
**[22:40] Naofumi**
*and the title of viscount.*
**[22:44] Naofumi**
* I heard later that at the time the*
* Wave appeared in Kizuna's world,*
**[22:49] Naofumi**
*another appeared here.*
**[22:53] Naofumi**
* While we were gone, Motoyasu, Ren,*
* and Itsuki worked hard to defeat it.*
**[23:00] Naofumi**
*Maybe they just wanted to restore their names*
**[23:03] Naofumi**
* after how useless they were*
* against the Spirit Tortoise.*
**[23:08] Naofumi**
* But the Waves, the other world... there are*
* more and more problems to deal with.*
**[23:14] Naofumi**
* And then there's the Phoenix, the*
* next Guardian Beast to awaken.*
**[23:19] Naofumi**
* It's hard to stay positive with*
* so many challenges awaiting us.*
**[23:25] Naofumi**
* But I know that as long as I have*
* my friends, I can keep this world safe.*
**[23:30] Naofumi**
*At least, that's how it feels.*
**[23:33] Naofumi**
*Because I'm...*

**[00:20] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[00:21] Filo**
Yeah.
**[00:22] Filo**
Softly...
**[00:38] Raphtalia**
Keel-kun's going to be mad
that he didn't get to go.
**[00:42] Naofumi**
I left Eclair and the old
woman in charge of that.
**[00:45] Naofumi**
They'll convince him.
**[00:47] Rishia**
"Have fun for us, since we
can't be there," she said.
**[00:52] Raphtalia**
I see.
**[00:54] Filo**
Look! Look!
***SIGN*** Illustration: Suwa Masahiro
**[01:41] Raphtalia**
Filo!
**[01:45] Filo**
I can't fly anymore!
**[01:47] Naofumi**
You could fly when you were a
humming fairy in Kizuna's world.
**[01:52] Raphtalia**
But filolials can't fly.
**[01:57] Filo**
Then let's go see Kizuna-oneechan!
**[02:00] Naofumi**
That's impossible.
**[02:02] Raphtalia**
Do you think Kizuna-san's doing well?
**[02:05] Naofumi**
Sure.
**[02:07] Naofumi**
She's probably doing the same thing we are.
**[02:13] Naofumi**
You should've learned survival
skills from Kizuna too, Rishia.
**[02:17] Rishia**
Right!
**[02:18] Rishia**
I was just thinking the same thing!
**[02:21] Naofumi**
I bet she could start a fire easily.
**[02:28] Naofumi**
What's wrong?
**[02:30] Raphtalia**
I just remembered how, when my level
went back to 1 and I shrank,
**[02:34] Raphtalia**
we all had a fun time picking
out clothes in Mikakage.
**[02:39] Rishia**
Oh, right!
**[02:53] (Flashback) Kizuna**
First, let's get you armor and clothes.
**[02:57] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Your defense and fashion sense are
both seriously in doubt right now.
**[03:10] (Flashback) Naofumi**
It looks like they've got both
western and eastern-style weapons.
**[03:13] (Flashback) Naofumi**
If we want to fit in here,
eastern is the better choice.
**[03:28] (Flashback) Kizuna**
What are you doing?
**[03:31] (Flashback) Kizuna**
They've got clothes, too, not just armor!
**[03:35] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
That's right.
**[03:36] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I'd like to try on a bunch of
different things, but I'm not sure if I can.
**[03:43] (Flashback) Kizuna**
You're pretty into this.
**[03:45] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Well, you're a girl. You want to look good.
**[03:52] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Oh!
**[03:55] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Wh-What?
**[03:56] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Nothing.
**[03:58] (Flashback) Kizuna**
How about Kizuna-oneechan gives you a hand?
**[04:05] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
K-Kizuna-san?
**[04:08] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Help me dress her, Rishia-san.
**[04:12] (Flashback) Rishia**
Dress her?
**[04:14] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Rishia-san, hold her there.
**[04:16] (Flashback) Rishia**
L-Like this?
**[04:17] (Flashback) Kizuna**
No! Tighter!
**[04:20] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
It h-hurts!
**[04:23] (Flashback) Kizuna**
It's done!
**[04:24] (Flashback) Rishia**
You look like a foreign princess!
**[04:27] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
But it doesn't seem like
it's meant for combat.
**[04:30] (Flashback) Kizuna**
You're right.
**[04:31] (Flashback) Kizuna**
But if we just... pull it up!
**[04:37] (Flashback) Rishia**
Kizuna-san, that’s not a good idea!
**[04:40] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Since Naofumi's a lolicon,
I think he'd totally go for it!
**[04:44] (Flashback) Rishia & Raphtalia**
Lolicon?
**[04:45] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Okay, next.
**[04:47] (Flashback) Kizuna**
This is the "samurai protecting her home
from foreign barbarians" style.
**[04:51] (Flashback) Rishia**
Samurai?
**[04:52] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
It's too heavy.
**[04:53] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Yeah, makes sense.
**[04:55] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Next! Traditional maid style!
**[04:58] (Flashback) Rishia**
It's cute!
**[05:00] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
But this is for a servant girl, right?
**[05:02] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Next!
**[05:09] (Flashback) Kizuna**
This would be great for playing in rivers!
**[05:12] (Flashback) Rishia**
Wh-Why am I changing, too?
**[05:14] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Stop messing around, please!
**[05:16] (Flashback) Rishia**
Oh, that's great!
**[05:18] (Flashback) Kizuna**
A combination of cuteness and mobility,
**[05:20] (Flashback) Kizuna**
with just a hint of healthy eroticism!
**[05:24] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I like it!
**[05:27] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Me, too! I think it's great!
**[05:30] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Okay, that settles it!
**[05:33] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Thank you, Kizuna-san! Rishia-san!
**[05:36] (Flashback) Rishia**
No, I-I just helped you dress.
**[05:42] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Hopefully Naofumi likes it.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Yeah...
**[05:49] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Nice! You all look great!
**[05:52] (Flashback) Naofumi**
You don't need any new items?
**[05:54] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I'm fine as I am.
**[05:56] (Flashback) Naofumi**
That haori's a mess.
**[05:59] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Glass gave it to me, though.
**[06:03] (Flashback) Naofumi**
I see... Sorry.
**[06:06] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, do you think
this looks good on me?
**[06:09] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Yeah, seems fine.
**[06:11] (Flashback) Naofumi**
And you look like a ninja girl, Rishia.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Rishia**
Ninja girl?
**[06:15] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, wh-who do you think's
the best out of all of us?
**[06:20] (Flashback) Naofumi**
Hmm... mine has the highest defense stat.
**[06:29] Kizuna**
*Man, Naofumi's dense as a rock, huh?*
**[06:40] Kizuna**
But Raphtalia-chan doesn't seem to mind.
**[06:44] Kizuna**
I can't figure out what's
going on between those two.
**[06:48] Yomogi**
I see. So the Shield Hero and
the Katana Vassal Weapon Hero
**[06:52] Yomogi**
have an extraordinary relationship, then.
**[06:54] Kizuna**
I'm not sure "extraordinary" is
the right word, but... yeah.
**[06:59] Kizuna**
Oh, sorry to make you listen to my story
when we're supposed to be just fishing.
**[07:06] Yomogi**
No, you're working so hard to repair
relations between Ruware and the other nations.
**[07:12] Yomogi**
Going fishing with you is
nothing compared to that.
**[07:15] Kizuna**
It's my job!
**[07:18] Yomogi**
If anything, I'd like to
hear more of your stories.
**[07:22] Kizuna**
Really?
**[07:24] Kizuna**
Sure, if you're sure it doesn't bore you.
**[07:26] Yomogi**
Can you tell me about your time
in the Infinite Labyrinth, then?
**[07:32] Yomogi**
I heard that being sent there means death.
**[07:36] Yomogi**
But you say you survived
there for years, all alone!
**[07:41] Kizuna**
Oh... I guess I did.
**[07:46] Yomogi**
What was your life like inside?
**[08:06] (Flashback) Kizuna**
You're kidding me.
**[08:09] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I'm supposed to stay here
the rest of my life?
**[08:13] (Flashback) Kizuna**
L'Arc-niisan... Therese-neesan...
**[08:17] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Glass...
**[08:28] Kizuna**
*I refuse to stay here forever!*
**[08:31] Kizuna**
*There has to be an exit somewhere!*
**[08:33] Kizuna**
*I'll look everywhere I can! And I'll find it!*
**[08:40] (Flashback) Kizuna**
First, I need to eat.
**[08:43] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Maybe fish... Are there fish?
**[08:49] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Yes!
**[08:52] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Next, I need some fire!
**[08:54] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Time for some human ingenuity!
**[09:01] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Should I cook it right over the heat?
**[09:03] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Maybe steam it?
**[09:10] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Maybe some fish stew?
**[09:12] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I need to make broth, too.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Maybe cook it in a salt crust!
**[09:22] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Really, you can do anything
if you've got fire!
**[09:31] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I'm sick of this.
**[09:34] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Solo camping sucks!
**[09:35] (Flashback) Kizuna**
It's no fun at all if you
don't have some food variety!
**[09:39] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I'm getting out of here!
**[09:48] (Flashback) Kizuna**
If I go out to the horizon,
I might find the exit!
**[10:04] (Flashback) Kizuna**
What is this?
**[10:06] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Does the ocean stop here?
**[10:08] (Flashback) Kizuna**
What's going on?
**[10:14] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Fine...
**[10:20] (Flashback) Kizuna**
They don't taste that good
either stewed or fried.
**[10:57] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Do I really need any seasoning?
**[11:01] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I know I can get salt by boiling seawater.
**[11:05] (Flashback) Kizuna**
But it's boring to make.
**[11:07] (Flashback) Kizuna**
"No, if I'm willing to kill myself,
I should be willing to make some salt"?
**[11:12] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Sure, that's true, but...
**[11:15] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Fine. Don't look at me like that.
**[11:19] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I'll try it. I'll try it.
**[11:27] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Just adding the salt before
cooking makes it look delicious!
**[11:34] (Flashback) Kizuna**
It's great! This is great!
**[11:36] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Does just adding salt make
this much of a difference?
**[11:41] (Flashback) Kizuna**
You look so smug.
**[11:43] (Flashback) Kizuna**
But yeah.
**[11:46] (Flashback) Kizuna**
I'll try making other stuff.
**[11:48] (Flashback) Kizuna**
Sweet stuff, or spicy stuff!
**[12:15] Kizuna**
When I saw the light that meant Naofumi
and the others had fallen from the sky...
**[12:19] Kizuna**
Time stopped standing still
and started moving again.
**[12:23] Kizuna**
That's how it felt.
**[12:29] Kizuna**
That's the end of that story.
**[12:32] Yomogi**
So you survived several years in the Infinite
Labyrinth thanks to your partner, then.
**[12:39] Kizuna**
Partner?
**[12:42] Yomogi**
The ball with the face you drew on it.
**[12:49] Yomogi**
You didn't take your partner with you?
**[12:52] Kizuna**
Um, well... Uh...
**[12:57] Yomogi**
That ball was to you what Kyo was to me.
**[13:01] Kizuna**
Um... what?
**[13:04] Yomogi**
Lately, I try to remember
his face, and I can't.
**[13:10] Yomogi**
It's strange... We were together
ever since we were little.
**[13:15] Yomogi**
But every time I try to remember him,
his face in his last moments is what I see.
**[13:20] Yomogi**
And I just can't take it.
**[13:26] Kizuna**
Try not to remember the
painful things. Remember the fun ones.
**[13:31] Yomogi**
What do you mean?
**[13:33] Kizuna**
Remember the times you were
happy or had fun with him.
**[13:42] Yomogi**
This happened before Kyo went to another
world to take control of the Spirit Tortoise.
**[13:48] Yomogi**
I was helping him in his lab.
**[13:53] Yomogi**
I wanted to be of use to him.
**[13:56] Yomogi**
And then, one day...
**[13:59] Yomogi**
One day, he came to me, dead pale!
**[14:04] Yomogi**
With his face like this!
I wondered what could be so wrong,
**[14:08] Yomogi**
and he said, "Where are my glasses?"
**[14:11] Yomogi**
You get it? His glasses
were right on his face!
**[14:18] Yomogi**
I wanted to say, "They're on
your head," so bad!
**[14:22] Yomogi**
But I held back!
**[14:23] Yomogi**
It was so funny watching him tear
up the place looking for them!
**[14:26] Yomogi**
And then finally, sadly, he found them!
**[14:33] Yomogi**
The look on his face...
**[14:38] Yomogi**
And do you know what he said then?
**[14:41] Yomogi**
He looked so embarrassed as he said,
"Tch! You should've said something!"
**[14:50] Yomogi**
It was several months later that he went
to the world with the Spirit Tortoise.
**[14:58] Yomogi**
Looking back, those were the last
fun moments I had with him.
**[15:06] Yomogi**
Thanks. Now I can remember his face.
**[15:13] Kizuna**
Let's get going.
**[15:14] Kizuna**
If we're late, Glass and the
others will come looking.
**[15:18] Yomogi**
Yeah. We've got one more job to do.
**[15:20] Kizuna**
Right!
**[15:26] Naofumi**
Stop it, Filo!
**[15:28] Filo**
It's fine, Master!
**[15:30] Filo**
This time I can fly, I think!
**[15:32] Naofumi**
You're imagining it!
**[15:33] Naofumi**
You're a filolial right now!
**[15:35] Raphtalia**
That's right, Filo!
**[15:36] Raphtalia**
If you're by yourself, you can jump across,
**[15:38] Raphtalia**
but you can't with the
wagon hooked up to you!
**[15:41] Filo**
Jump?
**[15:43] Rishia**
Filo-chan, I'm sorry, but jumping and flying
like a humming fairy are two different things!
**[15:50] Filo**
Aw...
**[15:52] Filo**
I'm sorry, Master. I'll take
the long way around.
**[16:02] Filo**
I want to fly again.
**[16:05] Naofumi**
In this world you just can't, okay?
**[16:10] Raphtalia**
If only Ost-san was here.
**[16:13] Rishia**
That's right.
**[16:15] Rishia**
Ost-san could use her gravity magic
to make Filo and the carriage float.
**[16:21] Raphtalia**
She'd smile and watch, wouldn't she?
**[16:27] Rishia**
Hey, remember when she tried to say
things in a way that was subtle,
**[16:33] Rishia**
but that you'd still understand,
and it just made things worse?
**[16:40] Raphtalia**
That's...
**[16:41] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san, don't talk about that!
**[16:54] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Um, Ost-san...
**[16:56] (Flashback) Ost**
Yes?
**[16:57] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I've been wondering.
**[16:59] (Flashback) Ost**
Yes? Ask anything you like!
**[17:03] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
What does it mean to
"get intimate as fast as possible"?
**[17:09] (Flashback) Ost**
Well... Well...
**[17:12] (Flashback) Filo**
"Get intimate"? What does that mean?
**[17:15] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
That was the advice Ost-san
gave to Rishia-san.
**[17:18] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I didn't really understand.
**[17:20] (Flashback) Ost**
Oh! Advice!
**[17:23] (Flashback) Ost**
Oh, I did give her that advice.
**[17:26] (Flashback) Rishia**
Ost-san!
**[17:29] (Flashback) Ost**
Raphtalia-san, when I said to
"get intimate" with someone, I meant...
**[17:32] (Flashback) Rishia**
No! I meant *don't* tell her!
**[17:36] (Flashback) Ost**
Oh? You did?
**[17:38] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Rishia-san! I'm fine!
**[17:42] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I am Naofumi-sama's sword.
**[17:44] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I can accept anything, no matter what it is!
**[17:47] (Flashback) Rishia**
Hmm... I'm not sure about that.
**[17:50] (Flashback) Ost**
Okay, I'll tell you in secret, then.
**[17:53] Ost**
Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper...
**[17:57] (Flashback) Rishia**
Th-This isn't my fault, okay?!
**[18:01] (Flashback) Ost**
And that's how it works!
**[18:03] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
You do what with his what?
**[18:05] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I don't understand! What is "what"?
**[18:08] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
And what do I do with it?
**[18:11] (Flashback) Filo**
It's not fair that you're
only telling Raphtalia-oneechan!
**[18:13] (Flashback) Filo**
Tell me, too!
**[18:16] (Flashback) Rishia**
If Raphtalia-san doesn't get it,
it's probably safe to tell Filo-chan!
**[18:22] (Flashback) Ost**
Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper...
**[18:25] (Flashback) Filo**
You mean, mate with Master?
**[18:29] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
"Mate"?
**[18:31] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
O-Ost-san, what did you tell her?
**[18:35] (Flashback) Ost**
Oh, I guess you figured it
out too, Raphtalia-san!
**[18:38] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I didn't!
**[18:40] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I didn't, but I kind of did!
**[18:42] Rishia**
Stop it! Let's just talk
about something else!
**[18:44] (Flashback) Ost**
Let me go into a little more detail then.
**[18:45] (Flashback) Rishia**
Are you listening, Ost-san?
**[18:47] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I d-don't need to hear anymore!
**[18:50] (Flashback) Filo**
Then I'll listen!
**[18:52] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
No! Filo, it's indecent!
**[18:54] (Flashback) Filo**
Indecent? Is mating with someone indecent?
**[18:58] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
Well...
**[19:00] (Flashback) Ost**
It's a wonderful thing.
**[19:04] (Flashback) Ost**
But I meant it in an indecent sense, though!
**[19:07] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
I don't know what's right anymore.
**[19:10] (Flashback) Raphtalia**
What is "what"?
**[19:11] (Flashback) Rishia**
Stop it!
**[19:13] (Flashback) Ost**
Oh my!
**[19:15] (Flashback) Rishia**
This isn't funny, Ost-san!
**[19:21] Raphtalia**
It was crazy, but it was fun!
**[19:24] Rishia**
I was half scared to death!
**[19:27] Naofumi**
What are you talking about?
**[19:30] Filo**
Um, you and I, Master, are going to...
**[19:33] Raphtalia**
Stop it!
**[19:40] Naofumi**
Hey, we're here, Ost.
**[20:17] Naofumi**
Let's go.
**[20:19] Raphtalia**
Yeah.
**[20:19] Filo**
Yeah!
