**[00:23] Fitoria**
I see.
**[00:25] Fitoria**
You found the candidate who
could become the next queen?
**[00:33] Fitoria**
*She's close by, is she?*
**[00:36] Fitoria**
*I must go see her.*

**[02:11] Man**
Release Van-sama!
***SIGN*** Filolial Queen
**[02:21] Man**
Stay away!
**[02:26] Naofumi**
This place is done for.
**[02:28] Naofumi**
We're getting out of here.
**[02:29] Raphtalia**
Right.
**[02:45] Naofumi**
You okay?
**[02:46] Van**
Yes, somehow.
**[02:49] Melromarc**
I can't believe that rotten noble released
that monster just to take out Naofumi!
**[02:54] Naofumi**
Seriously.
**[02:57] Raphtalia**
Keel-kun...
**[03:00] Keel**
Raphtalia-chan...
**[03:04] Naofumi**
Okay, what now—
**[03:10] Raphtalia**
How'd it find us?
**[03:16] Naofumi**
* Shit. We're screwed if*
* it charges at us now.*
**[03:20] Filo**
You stupid...
**[03:22] Melromarc**
Filo-chan?
**[03:22] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[03:28] Melromarc**
Are you going to fight here?
**[03:30] Melromarc**
We're in the center of town, you know!
**[03:32] Naofumi**
I know! We'll lure it out of town first!
**[03:35] Melromarc**
But...
**[03:36] Melromarc**
How?
**[03:47] Melromarc**
Hey, Naofumi.
**[03:48] Naofumi**
What?
**[03:49] Melromarc**
Look at Filo-chan's belly.
**[03:53] Melromarc**
Now look at the monster.
**[03:55] Melromarc**
Maybe it's really coming after...
**[03:57] Naofumi**
Filo?
**[03:59] Melromarc**
Yes.
**[04:00] Naofumi**
Then she can lure it out of town.
**[04:03] Naofumi**
But...
**[04:04] Van**
Don't worry.
**[04:06] Van**
I'll take these kids and run.
**[04:10] Naofumi**
Thanks. Please do.
**[04:12] Naofumi**
Raphtalia...
**[04:16] Keel**
Say, Raphtalia-chan.
**[04:21] Keel**
You're in the Shield Hero's party,
aren't you?
**[04:27] Raphtalia**
Yes.
**[04:29] Keel**
Then you should go.
**[04:33] Keel**
I'll be fine.
**[04:37] Keel**
Go on.
**[04:39] Raphtalia**
Keel-kun...
**[04:42] Van**
Rest assured.
**[04:44] Van**
I'll go meet up with my people.
**[04:47] Man**
Van-sama!
**[04:53] Raphtalia**
I understand.
**[04:56] Raphtalia**
Please take care of Keel-kun.
**[04:58] Van**
Certainly.
**[05:00] Naofumi**
Filo!
**[05:03] Filo**
Yeah!
**[05:05] Keel**
Be careful.
**[05:07] Raphtalia**
I will.
**[05:13] Raphtalia**
I'm sure we'll meet again.
**[05:17] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[05:18] Raphtalia**
Yeah!
**[05:19] Filo**
Roger!
**[05:32] Man**
Run away!
**[05:39] Naofumi**
That way, Filo!
**[05:41] Filo**
Gotcha!
**[05:52] Melromarc**
It really is coming after Filo-chan.
**[05:55] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[05:57] Raphtalia**
I'm sorry I gave away that bracelet.
**[06:01] Naofumi**
It's yours now. You're free to
do whatever you want with it.
**[06:17] Filo**
How far are we going?
**[06:19] Naofumi**
As far as possible.
**[06:38] Melromarc**
We're almost past the forest!
**[06:47] Naofumi**
This place will do.
**[06:53] Naofumi**
Everyone ready?
**[06:55] Raphtalia**
I'm all set to fight.
**[06:56] Filo**
I'll do my best.
**[07:03] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[07:23] Melromarc**
Zweit Aqua Slash!
**[07:33] Raphtalia**
*I can't cut it!*
**[07:35] Naofumi**
*It's slow, but we can't even scratch it!*
**[07:38] Filo**
Master, give me some footing!
**[07:43] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[07:49] Naofumi**
Second Shield!
**[08:00] Naofumi**
*It's not working!*
**[08:02] Raphtalia**
One more try!
**[08:18] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[08:20] Naofumi**
I'm fine! Keep going!
**[08:22] Raphtalia**
Got it!
**[08:25] Naofumi**
*We don't have unlimited stamina.*
**[08:28] Naofumi**
*I'll have to use the Rage Shield.*
**[08:32] Fitoria**
Don't.
**[08:34] Melromarc**
Naofumi, something seems wrong here.
**[08:41] Melromarc**
Is this...
**[08:42] Melromarc**
magic mist?
**[08:44] Melromarc**
It's a high-level magic field.
**[08:46] Naofumi**
A magic field?
**[08:48] Naofumi**
You mean we're trapped here?
**[08:53] Raphtalia**
I hear footsteps!
**[09:00] Melromarc**
Filolials?!
**[09:12] Naofumi**
What the hell?
**[09:29] Naofumi**
Damn it!
***SIGN*** Detecting transformation jamming
**[09:35] Fitoria**
Don't resort to that power.
**[09:39] Naofumi**
Who's there?
**[10:18] Melromarc**
It can't be!
**[10:19] Melromarc**
The Filolial Queen?!
**[10:21] Filo**
So cool!
**[10:24] Fitoria**
Fall back.
**[10:29] Fitoria**
Your body reacted badly to the Dragon
Emperor's fragment and grew beyond control.
**[10:34] Fitoria**
If you hand over that fragment now,
I shall spare your life.
**[10:39] Fitoria**
But begone at once!
**[10:45] Melromarc**
Watch out!
**[10:47] Fitoria**
As you wish.
**[11:03] Fitoria**
Weak.
**[11:09] Fitoria**
I'll end this at once.
**[11:33] Fitoria**
The Shield Hero, I take it?
**[11:37] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[11:39] Fitoria**
I wish to discuss many things with you,
**[11:42] Fitoria**
but I know this form isn't suitable.
**[11:44] Fitoria**
One moment.
**[12:02] Fitoria**
Now, to introduce myself.
**[12:04] Fitoria**
I am the queen of all
filolials the world over,
**[12:10] Fitoria**
Fitoria.
**[12:14] Melromarc**
Fitoria?
**[12:16] Melromarc**
You're her?
**[12:18] Naofumi**
You've heard of her?
**[12:19] Melromarc**
Of course.
**[12:20] Melromarc**
Centuries ago, a hero of the time
is said to have raised a filolial.
**[12:23] Melromarc**
Her name is legendary.
**[12:25] Naofumi**
"Centuries ago"?
**[12:27] Naofumi**
So she inherited the name?
**[12:30] Fitoria**
No, I have always been Fitoria.
**[12:34] Filo**
Will I also be as big as her one day?
**[12:37] Naofumi**
I couldn't feed you if you grew
*that* big, so you'd be on your own.
**[12:42] Fitoria**
That would take dozens of times
longer than a normal filolial's lifespan,
**[12:47] Fitoria**
so don't worry yourself over it.
**[12:50] Naofumi**
*In other words, she's lived that long?*
**[12:53] Fitoria**
It's your turn to introduce yourselves,
Shield Hero's party.
**[12:58] Naofumi**
Iwatani Naofumi.
**[12:59] Fitoria**
Okay.
**[13:00] Raphtalia**
I'm Raphtalia. Nice to meet you.
**[13:04] Fitoria**
Likewise.
**[13:05] Filo**
My name is Filo.
**[13:11] Fitoria**
We've met before, haven't we?
**[13:13] Fitoria**
Thank you for your help that time.
**[13:16] Melromarc**
No problem. I'm Melty Melromarc.
**[13:18] Melromarc**
It's a pleasure to meet you again.
**[13:20] Fitoria**
Mel-tan, then.
**[13:22] Melromarc**
Mel... tan?
**[13:24] Naofumi**
You've met before?
**[13:26] Melromarc**
Yes. I ran into her on the way back to
the capital after a diplomatic visit.
**[13:30] Naofumi**
So you've made a habit of that, huh?
**[13:33] Naofumi**
Anyway, I'm grateful that
you took out that monster.
**[13:38] Naofumi**
But what do you want with us?
**[13:39] Fitoria**
It's a long story, and this
isn't a great place for a chat.
**[13:44] Fitoria**
Let me take you somewhere more suitable.
**[13:48] Naofumi**
Wait, before that...
**[13:52] Fitoria**
I don't like a Cardinal Hero using
dragon material in his equipment.
**[13:56] Naofumi**
It serves as precious fodder
to develop my shield.
**[14:00] Fitoria**
And I already sense an ominous
aura in your shield.
**[14:04] Fitoria**
Curse powers are certainly immense,
but so are their consequences.
**[14:08] Fitoria**
You mustn't use them.
**[14:10] Naofumi**
It's not a problem. I have it under control.
**[14:12] Fitoria**
Not for long.
**[14:15] Naofumi**
Regardless, I need dragon material and
the Rage Shield in order to survive.
**[14:22] Fitoria**
Fine. Do as you wish.
**[14:29] Naofumi**
That does it.
**[14:31] Fitoria**
Are you finished?
**[14:33] Naofumi**
Yeah. But the rest of this...
**[14:36] Fitoria**
I'll order my family to bring it along.
**[14:39] Naofumi**
Thanks.
**[14:40] Fitoria**
Get in the carriage.
**[14:42] Fitoria**
I'll need you to answer several
questions when we get there.
**[14:47] Fitoria**
Portal.
**[14:54] Raphtalia**
Wh-What just happened?
**[14:57] Melromarc**
Did we travel instantly?
**[15:00] Naofumi**
Wow.
**[15:02] Naofumi**
Ruins, huh?
**[15:04] Raphtalia**
You can practically feel their history.
**[15:07] Filo**
What a dump.
**[15:09] Fitoria**
I hear it's considered the remains of the
civilization the original heroes defended.
**[15:13] Naofumi**
You don't sound very sure.
**[15:16] Fitoria**
It existed before I was born. For what
it's worth, I'm watching over it.
**[15:21] Melromarc**
Is this a filolial sanctuary?
**[15:24] Fitoria**
Yes. I'm not supposed to bring humans here.
**[15:28] Melromarc**
Wow...
**[15:30] Naofumi**
Then I guess we'll be safe
here for the time being.
**[15:36] Fitoria**
I think you should get some rest.
**[15:41] Naofumi**
Let's take a break, then.
**[15:43] Filo**
Yay!
**[15:45] Melromarc**
That was one long day.
**[15:49] Raphtalia**
I wonder if Keel-kun and the
other kids are all right.
**[15:51] Naofumi**
They've got Van and those
demi-humans with them.
**[15:54] Naofumi**
They should be fine.
**[15:55] Raphtalia**
You're right.
**[15:57] Naofumi**
First, let's eat.
**[15:59] Naofumi**
I bet you're all hungry.
**[16:11] Filo**
Time to dig in!
**[16:15] Melromarc**
U-Uh, you know...
**[16:19] Raphtalia**
I feel too guilty to eat.
**[16:22] Naofumi**
Same here.
**[16:24] Filo**
Isn't it yummy?
**[16:26] Fitoria**
It's great.
**[16:27] Melromarc**
They're like sisters.
**[16:29] Naofumi**
Right? They even eat in
the same sloppy manner.
**[16:33] Raphtalia**
Um, Naofumi-sama?
**[16:41] Naofumi**
God, fine! I'll make you some!
**[16:45] Naofumi**
Bring me some huge pots
and a ton of ingredients!
**[16:56] Naofumi**
Why'd I even have to feed this KFC farm?
**[17:01] Naofumi**
What? You're not getting any seconds.
**[17:05] Fitoria**
I know.
**[17:06] Fitoria**
It's time to talk.
**[17:15] Fitoria**
I want to know how that monster
was released from its seal.
**[17:20] Naofumi**
I thought you came to save
us because you knew.
**[17:23] Fitoria**
I was there because I was told a new
queen candidate had been found.
**[17:29] Naofumi**
A queen candidate? You mean Filo?
**[17:32] Fitoria**
Yup.
**[17:33] Naofumi**
Can I ask you something?
**[17:35] Fitoria**
What?
**[17:37] Naofumi**
Why is Filo growing so differently
than other filolials?
**[17:42] Fitoria**
That's because...
**[17:46] Fitoria**
a hero is raising her.
**[17:50] Fitoria**
Tell me. Why was the seal removed?
**[18:03] Naofumi**
What?
**[18:05] Fitoria**
I'm appalled at you Cardinal Heroes
**[18:09] Fitoria**
for squabbling with the Wave nearly here.
**[18:12] Naofumi**
Hey, they started it!
**[18:15] Fitoria**
I know the Shield Hero has always been
scorned by human supremacist countries.
**[18:19] Naofumi**
Then you should understand.
**[18:21] Naofumi**
That's why we're trying
to cross the border—
**[18:23] Fitoria**
That won't solve a thing.
**[18:26] Fitoria**
Talk it out.
**[18:28] Fitoria**
As much as humans and demi-humans
might hate each other,
**[18:30] Fitoria**
it is unacceptable for
heroes to be fighting.
**[18:42] Fitoria**
Don't you Cardinal Heroes
know about the hourglass?
**[18:47] Naofumi**
You mean the dragon hourglass?
**[18:49] Naofumi**
We do know about it.
**[18:51] Fitoria**
Then why aren't you fighting
Waves across the world?
**[18:56] Naofumi**
Are you saying the Waves happen
outside of Melromarc, too?
**[19:02] Fitoria**
The Four Cardinal Heroes are meant
to be summoned to one country each
**[19:06] Fitoria**
and help them fight the Waves.
**[19:08] Naofumi**
First I've heard of that.
**[19:11] Fitoria**
I'm going wherever I'm asked.
**[19:14] Fitoria**
But you four aren't taking
part in any other battles.
**[19:17] Naofumi**
Hell, I only found out recently that other
countries had their own hourglasses.
**[19:21] Fitoria**
Honestly, I don't care about
what happens to humans.
**[19:25] Fitoria**
I fight because the hero
who raised me asked me to.
**[19:30] Naofumi**
A hero asked you to?
**[19:32] Fitoria**
My job is to protect the world.
**[19:36] Naofumi**
* She wants to save the world when*
* she doesn't care about humans?*
**[19:40] Fitoria**
But I can't protect it all by myself.
I need the heroes.
**[19:45] Naofumi**
But you seem far more capable than us.
**[19:49] Fitoria**
Maybe I am now.
**[19:51] Fitoria**
But eventually,
**[19:54] Fitoria**
I won't be able to save a thing.
**[19:58] Naofumi**
And that's why you need the heroes?
**[20:01] Fitoria**
Exactly.
**[20:12] Ren**
Is this the place?
**[20:14] Itsuki**
Looks like it.
**[20:27] Itsuki**
Yeah, it definitely seems like the
Three Heroes Church is hiding something.
**[20:32] Ren**
I can't believe Naofumi was right.
**[20:43] Itsuki**
Is this an archive?
**[20:47] Itsuki**
Let's check it out.
**[20:55] Myne**
Keep your noses out of this!
**[20:58] Naofumi**
You're telling me to make
up with those guys?
**[21:01] Fitoria**
Heroes are supposed to work together.
**[21:04] Fitoria**
That is an absolute necessity
in order to protect the world.
**[21:08] Naofumi**
Not happening.
**[21:09] Naofumi**
That country, along with those guys,
is trying to get rid of me.
**[21:13] Fitoria**
I've heard the gist of
what's been happening.
**[21:15] Fitoria**
But heroes mustn't fight among themselves.
**[21:18] Naofumi**
You seem rather obsessed with that.
**[21:21] Fitoria**
Because it's unacceptable, that's why.
**[21:24] Naofumi**
They don't wanna play nice.
It's a lost cause now.
**[21:29] Fitoria**
Are you sure?
**[21:31] Naofumi**
Absolutely.
**[21:33] Fitoria**
I see.
**[21:34] Fitoria**
Very well, then.
**[21:38] Fitoria**
It was all so long ago that
my memory of it has faded,
**[21:44] Fitoria**
but I do still remember
the right thing to do.
**[21:48] Fitoria**
If the heroes are fighting each other
**[21:52] Fitoria**
instead of the Waves of Catastrophe,
**[21:59] Fitoria**
then for the sake of the world,
**[22:02] Fitoria**
I must kill the Four Cardinal Heroes.
