**[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.
