[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!
