[00:00] Sei
    The Kingdom of Salutania was threatened
    by a sudden increase in monsters.
[00:06] Sei
    Because of that threat, they performed
    the Saint Summoning Ritual.
[00:11] Sei
    Long ago, when there were no Holy Saints,
[00:13] Sei
    a savior from another world
    once banished the darkness.
[00:18] Sei
    At least, that's what they say.
[00:20] Sei
    However, two holy maidens
    were summoned at once.
[00:24] Sei
    In the end, I was casually abandoned.
[00:28] Sei
    Well, I was a little like,
    "What?" at the time, but...
[00:32] Sei
    That was a different issue.
[00:34] Sei
    The unfortunate event led
    to fortunate results.
[00:37] Sei
    I was lucky enough to meet wonderful people
[00:41] Sei
    and spend my days peacefully
    surrounded by the warmth of others.
[00:44] Sei
    Oh, I guess the days weren't all peaceful...
[00:49] Sei
    Anyway, a lot of things happened,
    and I ended up being the true Holy Saint.
[00:56] Sei
    After that, I learned magic...
[00:58] Sei
    And I used the Holy Saint powers
    that I don't really understand.
[01:04] Sei
    I went around the kingdom
    to purify miasma swamps,
[01:07] Sei
    which are the source of the monsters.
[01:11] Sei
    I just want the people I've met
[01:14] Sei
    to continue living their lives
    with smiles on their faces.
[01:17] Sei
    That's the reason I've always
    done all that I could.
[01:22] Sei
    That's why I've never considered how long
    I'd have to fulfill my duties as a Saint.
[01:55] Sei
    The air feels so refreshing.
[01:57] Albert
    Sei.
[02:01] Sei
    Commander Hawke.
[02:02] Albert
    I'm sure that traveling to the
    fringes of the kingdom was tiring.
[02:06] Sei
    Not at all!
[02:08] Sei
    The scenery all around us
    is so beautiful. How can I be tired?
[02:13] Albert
    I see. I'm happy that you like the scenery.
[02:18] Albert
    The others are preparing some tea.
[02:21] Albert
    Let's go warm up.
[02:23] Sei
    Yes.
[02:24] Wolff
    Commander! Will this area work?
[02:40] Sei; Internal
    This is the Hawke Domain.
[02:42] Sei; Internal
    The commander's hometown...
SIGN    "Frontier"
[04:27] Helmut
    Thank you for coming
    to such a remote region, Holy Saint.
[04:33] Helmut
    I am the head of the family, Helmut Hawke.
[04:35] Claudia
    I am his wife, Claudia.
[04:39] Sei
    Nice to meet you. My name is Sei Takanashi.
[04:43] Sei; Internal
    They're the commander's parents.
[04:45] Sei; Internal
    I feel really nervous for some reason.
[04:48] Helmut
    Grand Magus Drewes, I am embarrassed
    for making you come out this far.
[04:53] Yuri
    No, think nothing of it.
[04:56] Yuri
    It is my duty to protect the kingdom.
[04:59] Helmut
    How promising.
[05:01] Helmut
    The stories of your contributions have
    even reached the fringes of the kingdom.
[05:06] Helmut
    We are very much obliged
    to you for your visit here.
[05:11] Sei; Internal
    Their hair and eye colors
    are exactly the same.
[05:15] Sei; Internal
    But his facial features
    are more like his mom's...
[05:18] Helmut
    Commander Hawke, thank you
    for your speedy march here.
[05:23] Albert
    Thank you very much
    for your praise, Margrave.
[05:27] Sei; Internal
    They're so formal to each other!
[05:40] Helmut
    Welcome home.
[05:42] Albert
    I'm home.
[06:03] Albert
    My apologies.
[06:05] Albert
    My mother has always liked to go
    all-out when we have guests.
[06:15] Claudia
    Isn't everyone departing tomorrow morning?
[06:19] Claudia
    Please allow us to show you our
     utmost hospitality this evening.
[06:26] Sei
    It looks delicious!
[06:32] Sei; Internal
    Delicious!
[06:33] Sei; Internal
    It's all so movingly delicious!
[06:36] Sei; Internal
    I can't stop eating the gourmet
    delights of the Hawke Region!
[06:38] Claudia
    Does it suit your tastes?
[06:40] Sei
    Yes, very much so.
[06:42] Sei
    You use a lot of cheese.
[06:44] Claudia
    Yes, our region is famous
    for the production of cheese.
[06:50] Yuri
    The wine is also exquisitely rich and mellow.
[06:54] Claudia
    That is also made in our region.
[06:57] Helmut
    We would love our guests from the royal palace
[06:59] Helmut
    to take in the sights of our
     region at their leisure.
[07:03] Yuri
    Yes, we would love to if time permits.
[07:05] Claudia
    The lake in the north is famous
    for its scenic beauty.
[07:09] Claudia
    There is even a hot spring near its vicinity.
[07:12] Sei
    Hot springs!
[07:17] Claudia
    Are you interested in hot springs?
[07:19] Sei
    Um, ah, yes...
[07:21] Sei
    We had them in back home, too,
    but I didn't really have time to go.
[07:25] Sei
    I had always wanted to go to one.
[07:27] Claudia
    Is that so?
[07:29] Claudia
    We own a villa in a town near the hot spring.
[07:33] Claudia
    Please feel free to stay there.
[07:36] Sei
    Is that really all right?
[07:37] Claudia
    Of course.
[07:38] Albert
    We'll have to stay a few days after
    the subjugation for investigations.
[07:43] Albert
    I would love to show you
    around during that time, Sei.
[07:47] Sei
    Oh, thank you very much.
[08:04] Sei; Internal
    I'm so tired.
[08:06] Sei; Internal
    The food was delicious,
[08:08] Sei; Internal
    and the dinner was very enjoyable thanks to
    the commander and the Grand Magus,
[08:15] Sei; Internal
    but I feel so exhausted.
[08:17] Sei; Internal
    This must be backlash
    from meeting "the parents."
[08:22] Sei; Internal
    I want to recover with some potions.
[08:24] Albert
    Sei...
[08:26] Sei
    Commander Hawke?
[08:28] Albert
    I wanted to escort you to your room,
    but you were already gone.
[08:33] Albert
    I was worried.
[08:34] Sei
    I-I'm sorry, I was a little tired.
[08:38] Albert
    It was an exceptionally long journey.
[08:40] Albert
    Even so, you still attended the dinner...
[08:44] Albert
    Thank you.
[08:46] Sei
    N-No, it was very enjoyable and delicious.
[08:50] Sei
    It cheered me up quite a bit.
[08:52] Albert
    I see.
[09:05] Albert
    We're heading out a little early tomorrow.
    I hope you have a restful evening.
[09:09] Sei
    Thank you very much.
[09:11] Albert
    Well then, good night.
[09:13] Sei
    Good night.
[09:46] (Flashback) Sei
    A mine?
[09:49] (Flashback) Helmut
    Yes. The miners who work there
    have reported monster sightings.
[09:55] (Flashback) Helmut
    The numbers reported continue
    to increase by the day.
[09:57] (Flashback) Helmut
    I worry that soon...
[09:58] (Flashback) Yuri
    Then the miasma swamp
    is probably near that area.
[10:01] (Flashback) Albert
    Yes, it's highly likely.
[10:04] (Flashback) Albert
    Margrave, we will leave early
    tomorrow morning to go to that mine.
[10:11] (Flashback) Helmut
    I see.
[10:12] (Flashback) Helmut
    There's a temporary settlement near
    the foot of the mountain for the miners.
[10:16] (Flashback) Helmut
    I would suggest heading there first.
[10:19] (Flashback) Helmut
    It seems you've become quite reliable, Al.
[10:43] Wolff
    What a strange atmosphere.
[10:45] Mob Knight A
    Is no one here?
[10:48] Sei
    Is everyone out working?
[10:50] Albert
    No, I heard that the mine had been
    sealed off due to the monster problem.
[10:59] Mob Knight B
    What was that just now?
[11:04] Yuri
    Looks like something happened!
[11:08] Sei; Internal
    I've never seen someone get so excited
    about a scream.
[11:26] Yuri
    Ground Spear!
[11:42] Sei
    Are you hurt?
[11:43] Miner B
    N-No, I'm okay...
[11:45] Miner A
    Who're you guys?
[11:47] Albert
    We're the subjugation unit
    dispatched by the royal palace.
[11:49] Albert
    You'll be all right now!
[11:59] Miner C
    We're saved!
[12:01] Miner D
    Thank you very much, sir knights!
[12:10] Mob Knight A
    Make sure to set it up properly over there!
[12:12] Mob Knight B
    Leave it to me!
[12:17] Albert
    I'd heard that monsters appeared near the mine,
[12:20] Albert
    but they've even attacked
    the settlement in the foothills?
[12:24] Administrator
    The attack this time was not too bad.
[12:27] Administrator
    The situation in the mine is outrageous.
[12:30] Administrator
    Monsters originally appeared
    from time to time,
[12:33] Administrator
    but the margrave and his soldiers
    always managed to clear them out.
[12:37] Administrator
    But lately...
[12:39] Administrator
    The number of monsters has grown
    each day, until now it's unmanageable.
[12:44] Albert
    So you asked us for help.
[12:46] Administrator
    Now, monsters we've never seen
    before have started to appear.
[12:52] Albert
    Monsters you've never seen before?
[12:54] Administrator
    Y-Yes.
[12:56] Administrator
    We've only seen living monsters, but...
[12:59] Administrator
    That's... Well...
[13:04] Administrator
    They're monsters that aren't alive.
[13:07] Yuri
    Undead.
[13:09] Sei
    Huh?!
[13:11] Sei; Internal
    Undead? Like the ones in video games?!
[13:15] Yuri
    Either way, the mining has been put on hold.
[13:18] Yuri
    It will be safer if everyone
    evacuates this area.
[13:23] Yuri
    If you're here, we can't go all-out.
[13:25] Sei; Internal
    I think I heard him mumble something...
[13:27] Administrator
    We'd all love to do that,
[13:30] Administrator
    but there are heavily injured people here
    that we can't easily move.
[13:36] Sei
    Leave them to me.
    I'll take care of them.
[13:39] Albert
    We will tend to the injured,
    increase the defenses of the settlement,
[13:42] Albert
    and secure a safe evacuation route.
[13:45] Administrator
    You would do all that?
    Thank you very much!
[13:50] Albert
    We'll move out first thing in the morning.
[13:53] Administrator
    I understand.
[13:54] Administrator
    But the path to the mine is already
    in shambles from fighting with the monsters.
[13:59] Administrator
    There is a small path
    that we used to evacuate.
[14:04] Administrator
    It's not much, but please allow us
    to have someone lead you to that path.
[14:09] Albert
    I appreciate it.
[14:14] Yuri
    Oh, faster than I expected.
[14:22] Sei
    Huh?
[14:23] Mob Knights
    Thank you for your hard work, Lady Sei!
[14:25] Mob Knights
    Lady Sei! Lady Sei!
[14:29] Sei; Internal
    There are more knights?
[14:35] Sei
    How did this happen?
[14:36] Wolff
    They all want to pay you back, Sei.
[14:39] Knight A
    That's why there's always a ton of volunteers
    for subjugation and rescue missions.
[14:45] Wolff
    Well, I understand how they feel.
[14:47] Knight B
    Yeah, and they say this subjugation
    expedition shouldn't be too long.
[14:51] Sei
    Huh?
[14:52] Knight A
    Everyone here has been helped
    by you at one time or another.
[14:56] Knight A
    They want to take this chance
    to pay you back.
[14:58] Knight C
    Help you while they still can.
[15:01] Sei
    Huh? Um, does that mean the miasma
    swamp expeditions are almost over?
[15:07] Knight A
    Well, we don't know for sure, but...
[15:10] Knight A
    Aren't they?
[15:11] Knight B
    The people in the royal palace
    have been saying so.
[15:14] Sei
    I see...
[15:17] Sei; Internal
    It doesn't feel real.
[15:21] Knight A
    Isn't it true that all the regions except
    this one have decreased in monsters?
[15:27] Knight B
    All thanks to Sei, right?
[15:29] Knight C
    For sure.
[15:30] Knight C
    It's because Sei went all over the place
    to purify the miasma swamps.
[15:34] Wolff
    It feels kind of weird saying it
    at this point, but...
[15:36] Wolff
    Sei, thank you so much.
[15:46] Albert
    I'm glad the reinforcements came in time.
[15:49] Albert
    We can leave the defense
    and evacuation to them
[15:53] Albert
    and take our current team to the mine.
[15:56] Yuri
    That's right.
[15:57] Yuri
    It's practically a certainty
    that the miasma swamp is there.
[16:03] Yuri
    Lady Sei?
[16:06] Sei
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[16:08] Yuri
    Are you all right?
[16:13] Sei
    Um, is this the last expedition
    to purify miasma swamps?
[16:21] Yuri
    Is that a problem?
[16:23] Sei
    Of course not!
[16:24] Sei
    That's not it.
[16:26] Sei
    Just, um...
[16:29] Sei
    It doesn't really feel like the end.
[16:33] Sei
    I've never really thought
    about things deeply until now.
[16:37] Sei
    Well, that's not true. But I helped
    because the kingdom wanted me to,
[16:42] Sei
    and I thought it'd put
    the people here at ease, and...
[16:46] Sei
    That's all, so...
[16:48] Sei
    I didn't really imagine a beginning
    and an ending for it all.
[16:54] Sei
    I'm a little taken aback
    that there'll be an end to this.
[17:04] Yuri
    It is our first time dealing with the
    growing miasma and the Holy Saint,
[17:08] Yuri
    so we cannot be sure ourselves.
[17:12] Yuri
    However, according to the historical
    records of the Holy Saint
[17:15] Yuri
    and what we've seen
    while traveling with you...
[17:20] Yuri
    His Majesty and I believe that the
    miasma swamp in the Hawke Region
[17:24] Yuri
    is probably the last one.
[17:29] Yuri
    Our research has shown that most monsters
    are born from these miasma swamps.
[17:35] Yuri
    And these swamps have
    a certain area of effect.
[17:40] Yuri
    Once these swamps
    are purified by the Holy Saint,
[17:43] Yuri
    the monsters affected by the swamp
    are completely annihilated.
[17:47] Yuri
    We have not seen any monsters
[17:50] Yuri
    other than the ones that originally inhabited
    the area since a purification.
[17:54] Yuri
    Let's calculate this according
    to the regions of our kingdom.
[17:57] Yuri
    If we mark each miasma swamp
    that we found and purified...
[18:01] Yuri
    And if we calculate each
    of their areas of effect...
[18:09] Yuri
    The only area left is the Hawke Region.
[18:14] Sei; Internal
    The Grand Magus's drawings are really cute.
[18:18] Yuri
    So first, we need to find the swamp
    that is increasing monsters in this area.
[18:23] Yuri
    Then we purify it.
[18:25] Yuri
    What happens afterwards...
[18:26] Yuri
    we can think about when the time comes.
[18:38] Sei
    The end, huh?
[18:43] Guard Team
    Lady Sei! We wish you success!
[18:45] Guard Team
    Leave everything here to us!
[18:48] Sei
    Th-Thank you very much.
[18:51] Yuri
    Lady Sei, it's time to go!
[18:53] Sei
    Oh! Yes!
[18:55] See
    Okay, everyone. See you at the royal palace.
[18:59] Miner
    Hello.
[19:01] Miner
    I'll guide all of you to the mine.
[19:05] Albert
    Thank you. We appreciate your cooperation.
[19:22] Albert
    Wait.
[19:24] Miner
    Yes?
[19:25] Yuri
    Something is coming.
[19:27] Albert
    Everyone in position!
[19:30] Knights
    Yes!
[19:35] Wolff
    The monsters from yesterday!
[19:46] Yuri
    Ground Spear!
[20:00] Sei
    Huh?
[20:16] Wolff
    Wha?!
[20:21] Knight A
    N-No way...
[20:23] Knight B
    What's going on?
[20:25] Knight C
    Why won't they die?!
[20:27] Albert
    Because they're already dead!
[20:33] Albert
    Undead...
[20:35] Albert
    How troublesome.
[20:36] Albert
    I can't believe such monsters
    are appearing, too.
[20:43] Mob Mage
    As expected of the Grand Magus!
[20:45] Yuri
    It's too early to let your guard down.
[20:48] Wolff
    New monsters?!
[20:49] Mob mage
    The howl just now!
[20:51] Knight B
    It called allies!
[20:52] Albert
    Lord Drewes, can you still fight?
[20:55] Yuri
    Do I have a choice in a situation like this?
[20:58] Albert
    Good point. Let's go!
[21:13] Knight A
    What the heck is that?!
[21:16] Knight B
    It's way too huge...
[21:18] Knight B
    It's way bigger than a salamander...
[21:21] Knight C
    I've never seen anything like it.
[21:22] Knight C
    What are we going to do now?
[21:47] Yuri
    Looks like we have no choice
    but to go forth and find out.
