[00:07] Naofumi
    Motoyasu...
[00:10] (Flashback) Mirelia
    He seems to be searching for his comrades,
[00:13] (Flashback) Mirelia
    who parted ways with him after
    the Spirit Tortoise fight.
[00:15] (Flashback) Mirelia
    One of them, we know,
    is in a town near Melromarc.
[00:21] (Flashback) Naofumi
    I see.
[00:23] (Flashback) Naofumi
    So, what about the others?
[00:25] (Flashback) Mirelia
    We haven't found anything.
[00:27] (Flashback) Mirelia
    Mal...
[00:30] (Flashback) Mirelia
    Bitch... was, as we last discussed,
    last seen near the northern border.
[00:36] (Flashback) Naofumi
    You can't use her slave crest to find her?
[00:39] (Flashback) Mirelia
    We can't. She's blocking it somehow.
[00:45] (Flashback) Naofumi
    And Ren and Itsuki?
[00:48] (Flashback) Mirelia
    As of now, we know nothing.
[00:51] (Flashback) Mirelia
    But we've confirmed that all of the
    Sword Hero's companions are dead.
[00:58] (Flashback) Mirelia
    Iwatani-sama, it won't be much
    longer before the Phoenix revives.
[01:02] (Flashback) Mirelia
    I'll ask you to please persuade the
    Spear Hero while there's still time.
[01:11] Naofumi
    Persuade him, huh?
[01:14] Naofumi
    It doesn't matter how many times you ask.
[01:16] Naofumi
    I have no intention of
    reconciling with those morons.
[01:19] (Flashback) Fitoria
    If the heroes are fighting each other,
[01:22] (Flashback) Fitoria
    instead of the Waves of Catastrophe,
[01:24] (Flashback) Fitoria
    I must kill the Four Cardinal Heroes.
[01:32] Naofumi
    I can leave Eclair in charge of my lands...
[01:37] Naofumi
    And start with Motoyasu.
[01:53] Motoyasu
    Where did you all go?
[01:57] Motoyasu
    Come back to me...
[01:59] Motoyasu
    Soon.
[02:03] Motoyasu
    Elena...
[02:04] Motoyasu
    Myne...

[03:49] Old Lady
    Yah! Yah!
[03:52] Old Lady
    Yaaah!
[03:53] Old Lady
    Steady breaths!
[03:56] Eclair
    Keep your focus on your blade,
    all the way to the tip!
[04:01] Students
    Yah! Yah!
[04:04] Students
    Yah!
[04:13] Students
    Thanks!
[04:14] Students
    Looking good!
[04:17] Students
    Okay!
[04:18] Demi-Human
    Naofumi-chan!
[04:21] Demi-Human B
    Hey, call him "His Lordship!"
[04:24] Demi-Human C
    Make me breakfast!
[04:27] Demi-Human D
    I'm starving!
[04:29] Naofumi
    Fine, fine.
[04:32] Kids
    Yay!
[04:34] Raphtalia
    It feels like everybody's
    settled in nicely here.
[04:37] Melty
    Yes. Thanks to that, we'll have the
    outer walls done sooner than expected.
[04:42] Melty
    Right now, our problems are getting the
    money we'll need for food and things,
[04:44] Melty
    and the money to improve our domain.
[04:46] Naofumi
    Can we get any from the government?
[04:47] Melty
    We can't expect much.
[04:49] Melty
    Every place is trying to rebuild.
[04:52] Naofumi
    I see.
[04:57] Melty
    How'd things go with Sadeena-san
    and Fohl's level reset?
[05:01] Naofumi
    We got it done.
[05:03] Naofumi
    I heard they'd need to do some rehab
    to make up for the lost levels.
[05:07] Naofumi
    But from the look of it, they'll be fine.
[05:10] Raphtalia
    Both of them have worked really
    hard to get where they are.
[05:15] Naofumi
    Unlike your status, what you've gained
    from training isn't lost during a reset.
[05:22] Naofumi
    Now we just need to raise our levels
    to get ready for the battle with the Phoenix.
[05:25] Naofumi
    The problem comes after
    they hit their limits.
[05:28] Raphtalia
    Is the only solution for them to train more?
[05:31] Naofumi
    Probably.
[05:32] Filo
    Is food ready yet?
[05:35] Filo
    I'm so hungry!
[05:37] Naofumi
    It's almost done. Go play
    over there until it's ready.
[05:41] Filo
    Okay.
[05:44] Filo
    I'm starving...
[05:58] Sadeena
    I could eat everything on the table!
[06:02] Naofumi
    It's too early in the day to start drinking.
[06:04] Sadeena
    I know that!
[06:13] Naofumi
    And who are you?
[06:16] S'yne
    I'm S'yne.
[06:21] Filo
    You're the clown girl, right?
[06:23] Raphtalia
    Clown?
[06:24] Naofumi
    You know her, Filo?
[06:26] Filo
    You do too, Master!
[06:29] S'yne
    This should remind you.
[06:32] Naofumi
    Murder Clown?
[06:34] Naofumi
    What are you doing in the village?
[06:35] S'yne
    I walked?
[06:36] Naofumi
    I didn't ask how you got here.
[06:38] Filo
    Did you come to eat?
[06:40] S'yne
    Yes.
[06:40] Naofumi
    Just so you know, this isn't free food.
[06:43] Naofumi
    It's for the villagers.
[06:45] S'yne
    Okay.
[06:46] S'yne
    I'll give you this, then.
[06:51] Naofumi
    It's not about the money.
[06:54] Naofumi
    What I'm trying to say is...
[06:57] Naofumi
    Just leave the village.
[06:59] S'yne
    Even though I protected
    everyone from slavers?
[07:02] S'yne
    Why?
[07:03] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama?
[07:04] Naofumi
    No.
[07:05] Naofumi
    I can't trust you.
[07:07] S'yne
    I see.
[07:35] Naofumi
    Hey, Filo.
[07:36] Naofumi
    I have good news for you.
[07:38] Naofumi
    But first, let's finish breakfast.
[07:42] Filo
    Carriage! Carriage! Carriage!
[07:45] Filo
    My carriage!
[07:48] Filo
    Hooray! Hooray!
[07:52] Naofumi
    Okay.
[07:53] Naofumi
    You guys raise your level.
[07:55] Fohl
    I know.
[07:56] Sadeena
    Sure thing!
[07:57] Sadeena
    I'll do my best!
[08:00] Old Lady
    And you'll be training with me, Rishia.
[08:04] Eclair
    I'll help, too.
[08:07] Naofumi
    Don't let anyone suspicious into
    the village while I'm gone.
[08:11] Melty
    We know.
[08:12] Naofumi
    Let's go.
[08:13] Filo
    Okay!
[08:14] All
    Bye!
[08:15] All
    Have fun!
[08:15] Raphtalia
    See you later!
[08:25] Raphtalia
    It's been so long since we've
    been on a journey like this.
[08:28] Raphtalia
    It reminds me of when we first met.
[08:30] Naofumi
    Yeah.
[08:32] Naofumi
    We can do some trading
    on the way home, maybe.
[08:34] Filo & Raphtalia
    Yay!
[08:44] Elena
    How did I end up like this?
[08:58] Raphtalia
    This is...
[09:01] Naofumi
    Yeah.
[09:02] Naofumi
    But for now, we need to
    find the Cardinal Hero.
[09:05] Townsperson
    Oh, you'll want the next street over, then.
[09:08] Raphtalia
    Thank you.
[09:10] Townsperson
    Oh, and head to one of the taverns
    on the outskirts of town.
[09:13] Townsperson
    I saw someone there who looked like a hero.
[09:15] Naofumi
    Thanks.
[09:19] Raphtalia
    This should be it, right?
[09:21] Motoyasu
    Elena, you're alive!
[09:24] Motoyasu
    I'm so glad! I thought
    I'd never see you again!
[09:26] Elena
    Oh, if it isn't the Spear Hero.
[09:29] Motoyasu
    Wh-What's wrong?
[09:31] Elena
    I'm not sure what to tell you.
[09:32] Motoyasu
    Listen, Elena.
[09:34] Motoyasu
    We've had a lot of adventures
    together, right?
[09:36] Motoyasu
    Let's join up and save the
    world together again!
[09:39] Elena
    I'm sorry, but that's impossible.
[09:42] Elena
    I've been forced to take
    over the family business.
[09:44] Elena
    Now, good day.
[09:48] Elena
    If you want party members, head to a tavern.
[09:51] Motoyasu
    No, I want you...
[09:52] Elena
    Motoyasu-sama... No, Spear Hero.
[09:56] Elena
    I couldn't take any more traveling with you.
[09:59] Motoyasu
    What are you...
[10:00] Elena
    The days when you had fame
    and riches are long gone.
[10:04] Elena
    What are you right now?
[10:06] Motoyasu
    I'm a hero...
[10:08] Elena
    You're a vagrant.
[10:10] Elena
    If you want to be with me,
    try to get somewhere in life.
[10:12] Elena
    Like the Shield Hero.
[10:21] Motoyasu
    N-Naofumi!
[10:22] Naofumi
    We've finally found you, Motoyasu!
[10:28] Naofumi
    Hey, wait!
[10:30] Naofumi
    Hear me out!
[10:31] Naofumi
    Motoyasu!
[10:38] Naofumi
    Damn it.
[10:40] Raphtalia
    Where did he go?
[10:42] Naofumi
    I don't know.
[10:43] Naofumi
    Now then, it's been a while
    since we've talked to her...
[10:52] Elena
    Of course. You'll be paying, right?
[10:54] Naofumi
    You'd better tell me everything
    you know in exchange.
[10:57] Elena
    I know.
[11:01] Elena
    Motoyasu-sama headed to the
    Spirit Tortoise's kingdom
[11:04] Elena
    with the intent of beating it ahead of you.
[11:13] (Flashback) Motoyasu
    No need to run, men!
[11:15] (Flashback) Motoyasu
    I, the Spear Hero,
    will defeat this thing easily!
[11:18] (Flashback) Motoyasu
    See for yourself how much stronger
    I am than the Shield Hero!
[11:22] (Flashback) Motoyasu's Party
    Right!
[11:23] (Flashback) Motoyasu
    Let's go!
[11:24] (Flashback) Myne
    Zweit Hellfire!
[11:32] (Flashback) Motoyasu
    Take this and this and this!
[11:35] (Flashback) Motoyasu
    Yah!
[11:43] (Flashback) Motoyasu
    Here I go!
[11:44] (Flashback) Motoyasu
    Thunder Spear!
[11:55] (Flashback) Motoyasu
    Wh-What...
[11:56] (Flashback) Elena
    Motoyasu-sama!
[11:57] (Flashback) Motoyasu
    R-Right!
[11:58] (Flashback) Motoyasu
    Meteor Thrust!
[12:00] (Flashback) Motoyasu
    Lightning Spear!
[12:06] (Flashback) Myne
    Hey...
[12:07] (Flashback) Myne
    I don't think this is working...
[12:13] (Flashback) Motoyasu
    Take this!
[12:16] Elena
    I picked the wrong guy to suck up to.
[12:20] Elena
    Oh, trying to have me arrested won't work.
[12:23] Elena
    I've already given all the information
    I know to the authorities.
[12:26] Elena
    What? That's all I know.
[12:29] Naofumi
    There's one more thing I want to know.
[12:31] Naofumi
    Where are the taverns in this town?
[12:36] Background Chatter
    Really?
[12:39] Background Chatter
    This food looks so good!
[12:42] Background Chatter
    Waiter!
[12:53] Ren
    Naofumi...
[12:56] Naofumi
    It's been a while, Ren.
[13:00] Naofumi
    Wait, wait.
[13:01] Naofumi
    I haven't come to arrest you or anything!
[13:07] Naofumi
    Raphtalia, Filo...
[13:08] Naofumi
    Sorry, but can you go look
    for Motoyasu for me?
[13:11] Raphtalia
    But...
[13:12] Naofumi
    Leave us alone for a bit.
[13:14] Raphtalia
    Very well.
[13:15] Filo
    Okay.
[13:20] Naofumi
    Let's sit down, I guess.
[13:26] Naofumi
    I just met Motoyasu.
[13:28] Naofumi
    He came to this town to meet one
    of his old party members, I guess.
[13:31] Naofumi
    He got away before we got
    a chance to talk, though.
[13:33] Ren
    I see.
[13:35] Ren
    His comrades are alive, then.
[13:37] Naofumi
    I heard.
[13:38] Naofumi
    All yours are...
[13:39] Ren
    Yeah. They're all dead.
[13:47] Ren
    I lost because they were weak.
[13:50] Ren
    It's not my fault.
[13:54] Ren
    It's not! It's not my fault at all!
[13:57] Naofumi
    Ren, I'm sorry about what
    happened to your party.
[14:01] Naofumi
    But you can still fight.
[14:03] Naofumi
    There's no time left before
    the Phoenix's seal breaks.
[14:06] Naofumi
    This time, we heroes need
    to face it together.
[14:10] Naofumi
    Please, help me.
[14:13] Ren
    All right.
[14:16] Naofumi
    Good. So here's what I
    know about the Phoenix...
[14:20] Myne
    You mustn't believe the Shield Demon!
[14:24] Naofumi
    Bitch!
[14:26] Myne
    You said you'd believe only me, remember?
[14:31] Ren
    I didn't say I'd believe you.
[14:33] Ren
    And Motoyasu is still
    looking for his friends.
[14:36] Myne
    The Spear Hero is not a true hero.
[14:38] Myne
    I told you that!
[14:40] Myne
    I told you that from the
    moment I laid eyes on you,
[14:43] Myne
    I knew you were the hero
    destined to save the world!
[14:46] Myne
    And the Spear forced himself
    on me, just like the Shield.
[14:50] Ren
    Motoyasu... That bastard!
[14:52] Naofumi
    Come on, Ren. You're not telling
    me you believe her.
[14:56] Naofumi
    You saw the trial at the castle.
[14:58] Myne
    Stop it! Or are you trying
    to shame me again?
[15:01] Naofumi
    What?
[15:01] Myne
    Ren-sama, that trial was a farce!
    A way to steal the throne from me!
[15:06] Myne
    My mother joined forces with the
    wicked Shield to humiliate me,
[15:11] Myne
    so that her slave, Melty,
    could attain the throne!
[15:16] Myne
    And the Shield Demon here was secretly
    controlling the Spirit Tortoise
[15:19] Myne
    so he could gain the people's trust!
[15:22] Myne
    He's the one responsible for
    the death of your party!
[15:25] Naofumi
    You...
[15:27] Ren
    Is that true?
[15:28] Naofumi
    Ren!
[15:29] Myne
    I'm not lying.
[15:31] Myne
    See? My slave crest isn't activating,
     and that's proof.
[15:36] Naofumi
    How?!
[15:38] Myne
    Do you believe me now?
[15:40] Ren
    I...
[15:44] Myne
    I care about you more than anyone!
[15:47] Myne
    The entire world may call you a criminal,
[15:51] Myne
    but I believe you!
[15:52] Myne
    I believe you fought for
    the sake of the world!
[15:57] Naofumi
    You absolute...
[16:04] Myne
    Even if you can't believe in
    anyone anymore, I believe in you!
[16:08] Myne
    Ren-sama... No, the great Sword Hero!
[16:12] Naofumi
    Shut the hell up!
[16:13] Motoyasu
    Wait!
[16:14] Naofumi
    Motoyasu?
[16:17] Motoyasu
    What are you doing with Ren?
[16:18] Motoyasu
    I've been looking for you this whole time!
[16:21] Motoyasu
    Myne... I mean, Slut!
[16:22] Mune
    Ren-sama, did you hear that?
[16:25] Mune
    He told me he's been trying to
    find me, but he called me a slut!
[16:29] Mune
    That's proof that he forced
    himself on me every night!
[16:31] Mune
    He said he'd kill my father if I refused!
[16:35] Motoyasu
    Liar!
[16:36] Ren
    Did you do that?
[16:38] Motoyasu
    No, Ren! Slut is lying to you!
[16:40] Motoyasu
    Believe me!
[16:41] Ren
    How can I?
[16:43] Myne
    ...and tore my clothes off!
[16:43] Motoyasu
    Listen to me, Ren!
[16:44] Motoyasu
    I didn't do anything to
    her! Or threaten her!
[16:46] Motoyasu
    If she hadn't asked me to wait till dawn
[16:47] Motoyasu
    and call the knights,
    I would've cut you down myself!
[16:48] Ren
    You're going to run as
    soon as things go south?
[16:52] Motoyasu
    As the Spear Hero, I...
[16:56] Naofumi
    I'm amazed it's possible for one
    human being to lie that much, Bitch.
[17:01] Ren
    Stay away from Myne!
[17:03] Naofumi
    Listen, Ren. Think very carefully about
    who's more trustworthy, me or her.
[17:08] Ren
    Shut up!
[17:09] Ren
    Myne's right! You were behind it all!
[17:12] Ren
    The reason my party all died,
    and that I'm being blamed for it,
[17:16] Ren
    is you, Naofumi!
[17:20] Naofumi
    Oh, so that's how it is, huh?
[17:22] Naofumi
    If that's how you're gonna be, then I've
     got some shit to say to you, too.
[17:26] Naofumi
    Your buddies all died?
[17:28] Naofumi
    That's 'cause you treated this whole
    thing like a video game, isn't it?
[17:30] Ren
    What?
[17:31] Naofumi
    It's not your fault, huh?
[17:33] Naofumi
    Yeah, it's a lot easier when you can
    just blame everything on somebody else!
[17:36] Naofumi
    This world's not a game.
[17:38] Naofumi
    You had people who believed in you,
    and followed you wherever you went!
[17:41] Naofumi
    And you...
[17:42] Naofumi
    Right now, you're a failure not just
    as a hero, but as a human being!
[17:47] Ren
    No! It's not... It's not my fault!
[17:50] Myne
    Ren-sama! You mustn't
    believe the Shield Demon!
[17:53] Naofumi
    Get lost, Bitch!
[17:55] Naofumi
    And shut your mouth before
    I kill you right here.
[17:57] Naofumi
    You know exactly what you
    should be doing right now.
[18:00] Naofumi
    But you're refusing to do it because it
    would mean admitting you screwed up!
[18:05] Naofumi
    Am I wrong?
[18:06] Ren
    Shut up!
[18:07] Ren
    Shut your mouth!
[18:08] Naofumi
    I'll say it as many times as I have to.
[18:09] Naofumi
    You know exactly what you should
    be doing right this very moment.
[18:14] Naofumi
    I can tell you for sure at least that
    it's not listening to that whore.
[18:19] Ren
    Shut up!
[18:24] Ren
    It's not my fault!
[18:26] Ren
    It's not!
[18:28] Naofumi
    You're using a skill in the
    middle of a crowded building?
[18:34] Ren
    I'm going to fight for Myne...
    for the person who believes in me!
[18:38] Naofumi
    Don't do it!
[18:39] Ren
    Meteor Slash!
[18:45] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama!
[18:49] Crowd
    Oh no!
[18:56] Ren
    Impossible!
[18:57] Myne
    Ren-sama, let's flee!
[19:01] Ren
    This is impossible!
[19:03] Ren
    You have to be cheating somehow!
[19:04] Naofumi
    Look at the reality in front of you.
[19:07] Ren
    Flashing Sword!
[19:10] Myne
    Ren-sama!
[19:14] Myne
    Get off me!
[19:16] Myne
    You abandoned me!
[19:20] Myne
    Now!
[19:20] Ren
    Portal Sword!
[19:31] Naofumi
    You're the one who abandoned him.
[19:34] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama, are you okay?
[19:37] Naofumi
    Yeah. I am, at least.
[19:40] Motoyasu
    Why... Why are Bitch and Elena both...?
[19:40] Naofumi
    Motoyasu! Hey, Motoyasu!
[19:43] Motoyasu
    I believed in everyone...
[19:44] Motoyasu
    Why does this keep happening?
[19:45] Motoyasu
    The townspeople are all so
    cold to me... I'm so tired.
[19:48] Motoyasu
    I'll never trust a woman again...
[19:49] Raphtalia
    Is he okay?
[19:50] Naofumi
    I don't care.
[19:52] Naofumi
    Can you guys see if there are any wounded?
[19:57] Naofumi
    I'm so tired.
[20:05] Motoyasu
    Why am I the only one this happens to?
[20:09] Motoyasu
    Why did this happen...
[20:12] Motoyasu
    I never want to talk to a woman again...
[20:13] Filo
    Remember the fluffy clouds in the sky!
[20:19] Filo
    How they change shape every second!
[20:25] Filo
    Yesterday and now are different, right?
[20:28] Filo
    So what about tomorrow?
[20:31] Filo
    It's okay if things don't go your way
[20:37] Filo
    I'm sure that stuff's important if
    you want to get big and strong
[20:46] Filo
    So raise your head!
[20:51] Filo
    I'll stuff all the sparklies
    in a box and give them to you
[20:57] Filo
    I'll tie it up with a special ribbon
[21:03] Filo
    A wind will come to blow
    all your troubles away
[21:09] Filo
    So hang on tight and stay close to me
[21:15] Filo
    Take my hand in yours!
[21:17] Filo
    Hug!
[21:18] Motoyasu
    Filo-chan...
[21:21] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama, what is this?
[21:24] Naofumi
    Maybe something she gained from
    her time as a Humming Fairy.
[21:34] Filo
    Eat this and cheer up!
[21:42] Motoyasu
    Filo-tan!
[21:44] Motoyasu
    Filo-tan!
[21:52] Naofumi
    Motoyasu...
[21:54] Naofumi
    I'm glad you're doing better.
[21:56] Naofumi
    Believe in the method I gave you to get
    stronger and work to get ready for the fight.
[22:00] Motoyasu
    Understood!
[22:07] Naofumi
    This is everything, right?
[22:09] Raphtalia
    What about the Spear Hero?
[22:11] Naofumi
    From the look of it,
    he's not ready to come with us.
[22:14] Naofumi
    I'll explain the situation to the
    Queen and head back to the village.
[22:18] Filo
    I want to head back...
[22:22] Motoyasu
    Good morning, Father!
[22:30] Naofumi
    "Father"?
[22:32] Motoyasu
    Yes.
[22:35] Motoyasu
    Your daughter saved me in my darkest hour,
     and taught me about true love!
[22:39] Motoyasu
    I promise to make her happy in this life,
    the next, and the life after that!
[22:44] Motoyasu
    Please, give me your daughter!
[22:52] Motoyasu
    Let's be happy together, Filo-tan!
[22:55] Filo
    No!
[22:59] Raphtalia
    Stop it, you're scaring her!
[23:01] Motoyasu
    Don't get in my way, raccoon pig!
[23:07] Raphtalia
    "Pig"?
[23:10] Raphtalia
    Let's get going.
[23:12] Naofumi
    Y-Yeah...
[23:21] Motoyasu
    Filo-tan! Filo-tan!
[23:23] Motoyasu
    Don't leave me!
[23:25] Motoyasu
    Filo-tan!
