[00:02] Rishia
    I was born to a family
    of impoverished nobles.
[00:12] Rishia
    We were poor, but the villagers
    were always kind to us.
[00:15] Girl
    Onee-chan!
[00:19] Rishia
    My parents and I lived happily.
[00:27] Rishia
    But one day...
[00:33] (Flashback) Dad
    Who are you people?
[00:37] (Flashback) Man
    Come with us!
[00:39] (Flashback) Mom
    Stop it! What are you doing?
[00:41] Rishia
    I found out later that a wicked noble
    in the next town over had it out for us.
[00:48] Rishia
    Dad! Mom!
[00:52] Rishia
    My family couldn't pay back the debts
    that were illegally levied on us,
[00:57] Rishia
    and so the noble took me instead.
[01:02] Rishia
    I thought it was all over, when...
[01:14] (Flashback) Itsuki
    You're safe now.
[01:21] Rishia
    Itsuki-san revealed his
    evil deeds to the world.
[01:24] Rishia
    The Bow Hero came to save me.
[01:33] Rishia
    Itsuki-sama saved my life
    and the lives of my parents.
[01:39] Raphtalia
    I see.
[01:41] Rishia
    So I want to repay him...
    I want to help him.
[01:50] Ost
    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.
[02:18] Rishia
    I'm sure... I'm sure
    Itsuki-sama is there, too.

SIGN    Episode 4 Ruins in the Fog
[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,

[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,
    you must_____
    
     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?
SIGN    Ost Hourai
