* Members of an adventuring party have*
* various roles, such as attacker and healer.*
**[00:23] RUD/N**
*I, Rud, am a tank.*
**[00:26] RUD/N**
* The job of the party's tank is to draw all*
* enemy attacks and protect the other members.*
**[00:32] RUD/N**
* It's the unsung position*
* of powerful adventurers.*
**[00:35] RUD/N**
* This is the story of how*
* I turned things around...*
**[00:40] RUD/N**
*and became the protagonist.*

A Tank with a Rare 9,999 Resistance Skill
Got Kicked from the Hero's Party
**[02:18] MANICIA**
Oh, dear brother.
**[02:21] MANICIA**
I've missed you. I was so lonely.
**[02:25] RUD**
Manicia!
**[02:26] NIN**
Rud.
**[02:27] RUDE**
I'll never leave you again!
**[02:30] NIN**
Rud!
**[02:32] RUD**
What is it, Nin?
You're interrupting my joyous fantasy.
**[02:36] NIN**
Don't give me that crap. Can you stop
making weird faces while we're at the guild?
**[02:41] RUD**
Oh, uh... Teehee.
**[02:44] NIN**
Unbelievable. Were you thinking
about your little sister again?
**[02:48] RUD**
How'd you know?
**[02:49] NIN**
We're in the same party. Of course I'd know.
**[02:53] NIN**
But, man, you sure do love your sister.
**[02:56] NIN**
Can't you show an interest
in something *else* for once?
**[02:58] RUD**
Like what?
**[03:01] NIN**
Like romance, maybe?
**[03:03] RUD**
What? Nin, you don't mean...
**[03:06] NIN**
Wait, Rud. You've got the wrong—
**[03:08] RUD**
But no one's cuter than Manicia.
**[03:10] NIN**
Bah!
**[03:12] NIN**
Rud, I'm being serious—
**[03:14] RUD**
In all seriousness, though...
**[03:16] RUD**
I'm trying not to think about
anything else right now.
**[03:21] RUD**
Manicia has an incurable disease.
**[03:24] RUD**
My only hope is the Secret Treasure of
the Labyrinth that is said to grant any wish.
**[03:29] NIN**
Rud...
**[03:31] RUD**
But after yesterday's embarrassing display,
finding it seems impossible.
**[03:35] RUD**
I'm sorry to the others, too.
**[03:38] NIN**
Don't say that.
**[03:40] NIN**
You did your job as a tank.
**[03:43] NIN**
You didn't even get hit yesterday. It made no
sense how fast your absorb shield was depleting.
**[03:47] RUD**
It wasn't just yesterday.
**[03:49] RUD**
Lately, whenever we enter the labyrinth,
my shield's been depleting for some reason.
**[03:55] RUD**
I consume a lot of potions,
**[03:57] RUD**
putting a significant burden on you,
the party's healer. I'm really sorry.
**[04:01] NIN**
What are you saying?
**[04:04] NIN**
We've been able to fight as much
as we have because of you.
**[04:08] NIN**
I know that you protect me.
**[04:12] NIN**
Besides, your absorb shield
has a value of 9,999.
**[04:16] NIN**
That's the highest value shield ever.
**[04:18] RUD**
Nin...
**[04:19] NIN**
You're an exceptional tank.
**[04:22] NIN**
Even if a new party member
shows up, hold your head high.
**[04:25] ADVENTURER 2**
It's the Hero.
**[04:26] ADVENTURER 3**
The one who's beaten numerous
labyrinths despite his young age?
**[04:30] ADVENTURER 1**
That's the great hero Kyglas.
**[04:35] KYGLAS**
Hey, Rud. Sorry.
**[04:38] KYGLAS**
Are we late?
**[04:39] RUD**
No. You're right on time.
**[04:41] NIN**
Good morning, Lilia and Lily.
**[04:44] KYGLAS**
Now that the whole party's here,
let me introduce you.
**[04:48] KYGLAS**
Come here.
**[04:49] KYGLAS**
These are our new members.
**[04:51] RUD**
What?
**[04:52] NIN**
Hold up, Kyglas.
**[04:54] NIN**
What's going on here? Labyrinth rules
only allow parties of up to six people.
**[04:57] NIN**
This would make us seven.
**[05:01] KYGLAS**
It's fine. We'll be down to six very soon.
**[05:05] KYGLAS**
Rud, as of today, you're out.
**[05:07] RUD**
What?
**[05:10] RUD**
Why?
**[05:13] KYGLAS**
Because you're a useless tank.
**[05:13] NIN**
Wind Blast!
**[05:15] LILY**
Aqua Storm!
**[05:18] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Life...
**[05:20] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Burst!
**[05:23] NIN**
We did it!
**[05:23] KYGLAS**
Yesterday, you instantly lost
a significant portion of your shield.
**[05:27] KYGLAS**
That was the deciding factor.
**[05:29] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
What's going on?
**[05:31] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
You can't be serious! We won't make
any progress with a tank like this.
**[05:35] (Flashback) RUD**
Uh, but...
**[05:36] NIN**
Hold it. Rud was blocking the enemy's attacks,
**[05:40] NIN**
but his absorb shield was still depleting.
**[05:42] NIN**
There must be some other reason for it.
**[05:45] KYGLAS**
It's obviously because
his skills were interfering.
**[05:48] KYGLAS**
The two skills with unknown effects.
**[05:49] LILIA**
This is bad.
**[05:50] NIN**
Rud, quickly!
**[05:57] NIN**
It's true that not all skills are good.
**[06:00] NIN**
But we still don't know if they're
the cause. Yet you're just—
**[06:04] KYGLAS**
What are you talking about?
**[06:06] KYGLAS**
We could've all been killed. That's more
than enough reason to kick him out.
**[06:11] KYGLAS**
Besides, these new members are some of those
evasion tanks that are popular these days.
**[06:15] KYGLAS**
They can fight while dodging enemy attacks.
**[06:19] KYGLAS**
Unlike you, who can only defend.
**[06:24] KYGLAS**
So in summary...
**[06:26] KYGLAS**
You're out.
**[06:41] RUD**
Fine.
**[06:48] NIN**
Rud...
**[06:49] KYGLAS**
Hey, I'm not done talking to you.
**[06:52] KYGLAS**
Yesterday, we made no profit because of you.
**[06:56] KYGLAS**
Highest shield value ever? Whatever.
**[06:59] KYGLAS**
You're just an incompetent tank
who wastes his absorb shield.
**[07:08] LILIA**
We know you're competent.
**[07:10] LILIA**
Well, good luck.
**[07:18] RUD**
Sorry. You invited me to join your party,
but I guess I wasn't strong enough.
**[07:24] NIN**
That's not true!
**[07:26] NIN**
Rud, is this really goodbye?
**[07:30] RUD**
Remember how I told you about
the town my sister and I lived in?
**[07:35] NIN**
Avancia, right? What about it?
**[07:39] RUD**
Come visit sometime.
**[07:41] RUD**
I won't always be in, but from now on,
I'm going to live there with my sister.
**[07:47] RUD**
So we'll meet again someday.
**[07:51] NIN**
Okay.
**[07:53] NIN**
Well, it's not like I'll miss you
or anything, you know.
**[07:58] RUD**
I know.
**[08:00] RUD**
I look forward to the day we meet again.
**[08:07] RUD**
Now, what should I do?
**[08:10] RUD**
I can't go back to Avancia quite yet.
**[08:12] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
You're just an incompetent tank
who wastes his absorb shield.
**[08:16] RUD/M**
* Is Kyglas right about my skills chiping away at*
* my absorb shield without me realizing it?*
**[08:21] RUD/M**
*That would be a terrible skill to have.*
**[08:24] RUD/ID**
* That said, I can't rely on*
* anyone's Identify skill right now.*
**[08:28] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Still, are we *sure* we can handle
this escort job with just us?
**[08:33] NEW ADVENTURER C**
We've been promoted to D-rank. We'll be fine.
**[08:36] NEW ADVENTURER B**
Yeah. We can probably make it to Kurass.
**[08:40] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Yeah, but...

You guys got a minute?

He's huge!

Would you let me join you on that job?
**[08:51] RUD**
Oh, you don't need to pay me.
**[08:53] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Uh, what's your adventurer rank?

I've seen this guy before.
**[09:07] NEW ADVENTURER B**
I remember now!
**[09:09] NEW ADVENTURER B**
He was in the Hero's party!
**[09:12] NEW ADVENTURERS**
Please join us!
**[09:13] RUD**
Oh, but I...
**[09:14] MERCHANT**
You there.
**[09:16] MERCHANT**
You are the adventurers
who agreed to escort me, yes?
**[09:19] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Yes, sir.
**[09:20] NEW ADVENTURER B**
We've gained a new member.
**[09:21] NEW ADVENTURER C**
What's your name?
**[09:22] RUD**
It's R-Rud.
**[09:24] MERCHANT**
Mr. Rud, huh? Okay, that's fine.
**[09:27] MERCHANT**
Your pay will remain the same, though.
**[09:31] MERCHANT**
Now, let's go.
**[09:33] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Please do, sir.
**[09:36] RUD/M**
*I missed my chance to tell them my rank.*
**[09:39] RUD/M**
* I feel like I've tricked them,*
* but I can't do anything now.*
**[09:43] RUD/M**
* I'll guard the wagon well*
* until we reach Kurass.*
**[09:58] MERCHANT**
A fog is rolling in.
**[10:00] MERCHANT**
Shall we rest soon?
**[10:02] RUD**
No. We're nearly at Kurass, right?
**[10:05] RUD**
I have a bad feeling.
**[10:07] RUD**
We should head straight there.
**[10:09] MERCHANT**
Very well.
**[10:10] RUD/M**
* As long as we watch out for ambushes,*
* we should make it to Kurass safely.*
**[10:17] RUD**
Stop the wagon.
**[10:19] NEW ADVENTURER A**
What is it?
**[10:26] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Is it a monster?
**[10:27] RUD**
It could be bandits. Stay here.
**[10:37] RUD**
Hey, you.
**[10:49] RUD**
H-Hey.
**[10:58] RUD**
I don't sense anyone else nearby.
**[11:00] RUD**
It's not a trap.
**[11:02] RUD**
Are you all right?
**[11:06] RUD**
Don't be scared. I won't hurt you.
**[11:11] RUD**
Can you stand?
**[11:17] RUD**
Sh-She's naked?
**[11:20] RUD/M**
*A magic stone? Is this girl...*
**[11:24] MERCHANT**
Mr. Rud, a monster!
**[11:29] RUD/M**
*A forest snake!*
**[11:35] NEW ADVENTURER C**
It's gigantic.
**[11:37] RUD**
Hide.
**[11:40] MERCHANT**
E-Everyone, that monster's poison
is deadly. Don't let it bite you.
**[11:44] NEW ADVENTURER B**
We can't beat that thing!
**[11:46] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Are we going to die here?
**[11:51] RUD**
Look at me, Forest Snake.
**[11:54] RUD**
Provoke.
**[12:06] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Mr. Rud!
**[12:07] RUD**
It's fine. I have a skill that
protects me from all status effects.
**[12:11] RUD**
I'll draw its attention while you attack.
**[12:13] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Yeah, but...
**[12:15] NEW ADVENTURER C**
What should we do?
**[12:17] RUD/M**
*At this rate...*
**[12:31] (Flashback) RUD**
Manicia.
**[12:34] (Flashback) MANICIA**
Brother.
**[12:39] RUD/M**
*I can't let it end here.*
**[12:43] RUD**
You guys.
**[12:45] RUD**
I don't have a sword right now.
**[12:48] RUD**
You will have to cut it down.
**[12:52] RUD**
Grab your weapons and move your bodies.
**[12:56] RUD**
We have to work together!
**[13:03] RUD**
I swear that I, the strongest tank...
**[13:09] RUD**
will block all of its attacks.
**[13:11] RUD**
So trust in your own strength.
**[13:16] RUD**
I promise that you guys...
**[13:18] RUD**
will win!
**[13:22] RUD**
Now!
**[13:31] MERCHANT**
That's...
**[13:33] MERCHANT**
Everyone, it's preparing a killing blow!
**[13:37] MERCHANT**
You have to dodge it!
**[13:39] RUD/M**
*I can't dodge this attack.*
**[13:42] RUD/M**
*If this is its killing blow...*
**[13:46] RUD/M**
*there's meaning in stopping it!*
**[13:54] RUD**
Now!
**[14:08] NEW ADVENTURER A**
I can't believe we defeated a forest snake.
**[14:11] NEW ADVENTURER C**
We couldn't have done it by ourselves.
**[14:13] NEW ADVENTURER B**
We beat it because of you, Mr. Rud.
**[14:15] RUD**
We beat it because
each of us performed our roles.
**[14:19] RUD**
Anyway, could you carve up the monster?
**[14:21] RUD**
I'll go check on the girl.
**[14:24] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Got it.
**[14:28] RUD**
Are you uninjured?
**[14:30] LUNA**
Yes.
**[14:32] RUD**
Good.
**[14:34] RUD**
You were running from that monster, right?
**[14:37] RUD**
What are you going to do now?
**[14:40] RUD**
Do you have someplace to go?
**[14:42] LUNA**
I don't have anywhere to go.
**[14:46] RUD**
Then, do you want to come with me?
**[14:50] RUD**
I'm on my way to a town called Avancia.
**[14:54] LUNA**
I can go there with you?
**[14:56] RUD**
If you don't mind.
**[14:59] LUNA**
Of course I don't.
**[15:04] RUD**
All right.
**[15:05] RUD**
But you can't walk around dressed like that.
**[15:10] MERCHANT**
You can have this, if you like.
**[15:12] RUD**
Are you sure?
**[15:14] MERCHANT**
Of course. I'd be dead if it wasn't
for you, Mr. Rud. Take this as thanks.
**[15:20] LUNA**
Thank you.
**[15:21] RUD**
You can change over there.
**[15:23] LUNA**
Okay.
**[15:25] MERCHANT**
Is she an escaped slave, perhaps?
**[15:30] RUD/M**
*She's a homunculus.*
**[15:34] RUD/M**
* Homunculi serve humans as slaves,*
* so they normally don't travel alone.*
**[15:40] RUD/M**
*Perhaps she's in some special circumstances.*
**[15:43] RUD**
It's hard to imagine slave traders
would enter this dangerous forest.
**[15:46] RUD**
She wasn't wearing a collar, either.
**[15:49] RUD**
For now, I'll look after her.
**[15:56] RUD**
Thank you.
**[15:57] MERCHANT**
Are you sure this is far enough?
**[16:00] RUD**
Yes.
**[16:01] RUD**
We'll be going now.
**[16:04] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Wait.
**[16:06] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Mr. Rud, are you in a party right now?
**[16:09] RUD**
No, not really.
**[16:11] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Then, will you join up with us?
**[16:14] NEW ADVENTURER B**
We'd like to adventure
with a strong tank like you.
**[16:19] RUD**
I appreciate the offer, but I actually
need to find the Secret Treasure.
**[16:23] NEW ADVENTURER A**
The one that's said to grant any wish?
**[16:26] NEW ADVENTURER B**
It also has the ability to create homunculi.
**[16:29] RUD**
Uh, yeah.
**[16:31] NEW ADVENTURER A**
Homunculi, huh?
**[16:33] NEW ADVENTURER C**
I don't really like homunculi.
**[16:35] NEW ADVENTURER C**
They're expressionless and do their work
dispassionately. They're kind of scary.
**[16:39] NEW ADVENTURER B**
And only the magic stone on their chest
visually distinguishes them from us.
**[16:42] NEW ADVENTURER C**
Yeah, but...
**[16:46] RUD**
Well, like I said, I can't go
with you guys. Sorry.
**[16:51] NEW ADVENTURER A**
I see.
**[16:55] NEW ADVENTURER A**
I'm sure you'll conquer
the labyrinth, Mr. Rud.
**[17:14] RUD**
Come to think of it,
we haven't introduced ourselves yet.
**[17:18] RUD**
I'm Rud.
**[17:19] LUNA**
Mr. Rud.
**[17:21] RUD**
What's your name?
**[17:26] LUNA**
I don't have a name.
**[17:29] RUD**
Really?
**[17:31] RUD**
It'll be hard to refer to you without a name.
**[17:35] RUD/M**
*Lunafia petals...*
**[17:40] RUD**
Luna.
**[17:44] LUNA**
Luna?
**[17:46] RUD**
If you don't like it,
you can change it later.
**[17:50] LUNA**
Oh, no. Thank you.
**[18:01] LUNA**
Thank you for the meal.
**[18:03] RUD**
We should arrive in Avancia tomorrow.
Let's get an early night.
**[18:07] LUNA**
Okay.
**[18:29] RUD/M**
* As I suspected, Luna must be an*
* illegally created homunculus.*
**[18:35] RUD/M**
* She has the will and emotions other*
* homunculi lack. She can even fight.*
**[18:40] RUD/M**
*Normally, illegal homunculi are disposed of.*
**[18:44] RUD/M**
* But her frightened gaze*
* reminded me of Manicia.*
**[18:48] RUD/M**
*I can't abandon her.*
**[18:51] LUNA**
Oh, the pot! I'm sorry.
**[18:53] RUD**
It's fine. We already ate.
**[18:56] RUD**
Anyway, if you're *that* strong,
couldn't you have defeated that forest snake?
**[19:00] LUNA**
I-I'm skilled in magic.
**[19:02] LUNA**
I don't have a single melee skill.
**[19:06] RUD/M**
* Magic? So she can imitate*
* the effects of skills.*
**[19:11] RUD**
Do you have any magic skills?
**[19:13] LUNA**
I have a skill that enhances magic.
**[19:16] RUD**
What else?
**[19:16] LUNA**
I have one support skill.
**[19:19] LUNA**
It's Identify.
**[19:20] RUD**
I see. Identify, huh?
**[19:25] RUD**
Identify?!
**[19:26] LUNA**
Y-Yes.
**[19:27] RUD**
Identify is a very rare skill. Only one other
person in the neighboring kingdom has it,
**[19:32] RUD**
but I heard they passed away
a few years back.
**[19:36] RUD**
In other words, right now, you're the only
person in the world with the Identify skill.
**[19:40] LUNA**
I had no idea it was such a valuable skill.
**[19:44] RUD**
Luna.
**[19:45] RUD**
Could you identify my skills?
**[19:48] LUNA**
Y-Yes, that's fine.
**[19:50] RUD**
You will?
**[19:51] LUNA**
That was my job.
**[19:54] LUNA**
I need to touch you to use my skill. Excuse me.
**[20:01] LUNA**
Mr. Rud, you have four skills.
**[20:04] LUNA**
Provoke: the ability to focus
an enemy's attention on yourself.
**[20:10] LUNA**
Next is Healthy Body.
**[20:11] LUNA**
It makes you immune to status effects,
boosts your natural healing,
**[20:15] LUNA**
and makes your body as tough as possible.
**[20:17] RUD/M**
*I know about those two already.*

**[20:22] LUNA**
Next is Life Conversion.
**[20:24] RUD**
Life Conversion?
**[20:25] LUNA**
Life Conversion allows you to convert the
absorb shield you've depleted into strength.

It would seem so.

Finally, there's...

Shield of Sacrifice.

Shield of Sacrifice?
**[20:46] LUNA**
Shield of Sacrifice allows you to treat the
absorb shields of your allies as your own.
**[20:47] SIGN**
Attack
**[20:52] LUNA**
While protecting your allies, both your
allies' toughness and your own increases.

Yes, apparently.
**[21:05] RUD/M**

**[21:08] RUD/M**
* because I was using Shield of Sacrifice*
* to protect my party members' shields?*
**[21:14] LUNA**
What is it?
**[21:16] RUD**
I'd been worrying about
my unknown skills for a long time.
**[21:21] RUD**
I never thought it'd be resolved this easily.
**[21:25] RUD**
Thanks, Luna.
**[21:27] LUNA**
I'm glad I was useful.
**[21:35] RUD/M**
* I was kicked out of my party for*
* having skills with unknown effects,*
**[21:40] RUD/M**
* but I had the ultimate skills*

**[21:45] RUD/M**
*I can return with my head held high...*
**[21:48] RUD/M**
*To Avancia, where my sister awaits.*

**[00:05] LUNA**
So this is Avancia?
**[00:08] LUNA**
It's a tranquil town.
**[00:10] RUD**
Yeah. There's not much out here
in the country, but it's a nice place.
**[00:14] RUD**
I hope you like it.
**[00:17] MILENA**
Rud!
**[00:22] MILENA**
How long ya staying this time?
**[00:24] MILENA**
If you're here for a while,
let's hang out. Just the two of us.
**[00:30] FILLE**
Rud! So today's the day
you were coming back, huh?
**[00:38] RUD**
It's good to see you two.
**[00:40] RUD**
What brought you here?
**[00:43] MILENA**
I'm buying a hammer.
**[00:45] MILENA**
And Fille's on patrol, aren't you?
**[00:47] FILLE**
Yeah. I went to check on
Manicia, too. She's doing well.
**[00:52] RUD**
I see.
**[00:54] RUD**
Thanks. I don't have to worry
when I go off on adventures,
**[00:58] RUD**
because the whole town
watches out for my sister.
**[01:01] FILLE**
There's no need to thank us.
**[01:03] MILENA**
By the way, who's this?
**[01:06] RUD**
This is Luna. I met her on my travels.
**[01:08] RUD**
She has nowhere to go,
so I thought I'd look after her for a while.
**[01:14] MILENA**
I see.
**[01:16] MILENA**
Hello, Luna. I'm Milena,
the blacksmith's poster girl.
**[01:20] MILENA**
Nice to meet you.
**[01:23] MILENA**
C'mon, you're next.
**[01:24] FILLE**
What? Uh, I'm Fille.
**[01:29] FILLE**
I work as a sub-leader for the town watch.
**[01:33] RUD**
Fille's shy.
**[01:35] FILLE**
Don't say that, Rud!

Be quiet so we don't wake her.
**[03:25] RUD/M**
*This smell...*
**[03:27] RUD/M**
*They're all tomato dishes I love.*
**[03:35] MANICIA**
Welcome home, dear brother.
**[03:40] MANICIA**
Who's she?
**[03:51] RUD**
I'm home, Manicia!
**[03:54] RUD**
This is Luna. I met her on my way here.
**[03:57] RUD**
She's going through some stuff.
I invited her to come stay with us.
**[04:01] MANICIA**
I see.
**[04:03] RUD/M**
*Ah, I haven't seen Manicia in forever!*
**[04:05] RUD/M**
*She's so cute.*
**[04:07] RUD/M**
* For a moment, I thought*
* a goddess had descended.*
**[04:11] MANICIA**
It's nice to meet you, Luna. I'm Manicia.
**[04:14] MANICIA**
I can't offer you much,
but please make yourself at home.
**[04:19] LUNA**
Thank you.
**[04:21] MANICIA**
Come on, dear brother.
You must be tired from your long journey.
**[04:25] MANICIA**
Have a seat and eat.
**[04:29] MANICIA**
I'll prepare a second serving.
**[04:31] RUD**
Wait. You're still weak.
You shouldn't strain yourself.
**[04:34] MANICIA**
I'm feeling good today. I'll be fine.
**[04:37] RUD**
Uh, in that case, let's cook together. Okay?
**[04:40] MANICIA**
All right. Let's do that, then.
**[04:43] LUNA**
U-Um, Ms. Manicia's hair...
**[04:46] RUD**
Oh, right. Is this your first time seeing
someone with a physical idiosyncrasy?
**[04:50] RUD**
In Manicia's case, it's her hair.
It moves according to her emotions.
**[04:56] LUNA**
I see.
**[04:58] RUD**
Manicia, you seemed to know I was coming
home. Was that because of your skill?
**[05:04] MANICIA**
Yes. It was just a feeling I had.
**[05:07] RUD**
And you made my favorite
dishes just off a feeling?
**[05:11] RUD**
You're gonna make me cry tears of joy.
**[05:14] MANICIA**
Are you an idiot?
**[05:16] LUNA**
You two are very close.
**[05:18] MANICIA**
Isn't this normal?
**[05:24] MANICIA**
Aren't you supposed to
be helping, dear brother?
**[05:31] BOTH**
Thanks for the meal.
**[05:35] MANICIA**
That's an unusual way to hold a spoon, Luna.
**[05:40] LUNA**
I-I'm sorry.
**[05:43] LUNA**
I've only used one a handful of times.
**[05:56] LUNA**
I'm sorry.
**[05:58] LUNA**
I'll get it right next time.
**[06:00] RUD**
Hey, Luna...
**[06:00] MANICIA**
No need to apologize.
**[06:08] MANICIA**
This is how you hold one.
**[06:17] MANICIA**
I'll teach you things one at a time,
so take your time learning, okay?
**[06:24] LUNA**
Thank you.
**[06:41] LUNA**
Mr. Rud, Ms. Manicia, good morning.
**[06:47] RUD**
You made all this yourself?
**[06:48] LUNA**
Yes. These are all things Ms. Manicia has
taught me how to make over the past three days.
**[06:56] BOTH**
So good!
**[06:57] RUD/M**
*It tastes exactly like Manicia's cooking.*
**[07:00] RUD/M**
* Luna has mastered every basic*
* life skill in a short amount of time.*
**[07:06] RUD/M**
*Is this how quickly homunculi learn?*
**[07:10] MANICIA**
Dear brother.
**[07:13] MANICIA**
It's nice out today.
Why don't we show Luna around town?
**[07:18] RUD**
Good idea. I'd like to
introduce her to everyone.
**[07:22] MANICIA**
Okay, I'll lend you some
of my clothes to go out in.
**[07:26] MANICIA**
I have some I think will look nice on you.
**[07:29] RUD/M**
* Manicia's so cute when*
* she's acting like a big sister.*
**[07:33] MANICIA**
But these clothes are
a bit difficult to put on.
**[07:37] MANICIA**
Shall I help you change?
**[07:42] LUNA**
I-I'm sorry.
**[07:44] LUNA**
I can get changed by myself.
**[07:48] MANICIA**
Did I do something to upset her?
**[07:51] RUD/M**
* She was probably worried about*
* Manicia noticing her magic stone.*
**[08:01] RUD**
Avancia doesn't have an
adventurers' guild or a church.
**[08:05] RUD**
It has one blacksmith
and one apothecary.
**[08:07] RUD**
Its most remarkable feature
is probably the nearby orchard.
**[08:11] RAISIL**
Well, if it isn't Rud.
**[08:14] RAISIL**
Here to make a granddaughter
with my daughter?
**[08:17] RUD**
No, Mr. Raisil.
**[08:20] RUD**
Luna, this is Milena's father.
**[08:22] RAISIL**
I've heard about you.
Nice to meet you, miss.
**[08:25] LUNA**
Th-Thank you.
**[08:28] RUD**
Oh, right. Mr. Raisil.
**[08:31] RAISIL**
I see. So your magic sword
was taken from you.
**[08:35] RAISIL**
All right! It's a favor for you, after all.
**[08:40] RAISIL**
I'll make you something
incredible in no time.
**[08:43] RUD**
Thank you.
**[08:45] RAISIL**
Do you mind if my daughter helps out?
**[08:47] RAISIL**
Like me, she's quite skilled.
**[08:50] RUD**
Go right ahead.
**[08:52] RUD**
I'll come by again when it's done.
**[08:54] RAISIL**
Oh, wait. Why don't you show
Luna the monstrous farm?
**[09:01] RUD**
Put simply, monstrous vegetables
are plants that grow into monsters.
**[09:05] RUD**
They only need mana to grow,
so they can be grown year-round.
**[09:10] RUD**
They're nutritious, too.
**[09:12] CHILD C**
Hey, it's Rud.
**[09:14] CHILD B**
Oh, he's got a girlfriend!
**[09:16] RUD**
She's not my girlfriend. This girl's name
is Luna. We're traveling companions.
**[09:20] CHILD B**
Now that I think about it,
you'd never get a girlfriend.
**[09:22] CHILD C**
You're obsessed with your sis.
**[09:24] RUD**
Who taught you to say that?
**[09:27] BOTH**
That's what Fille said.
**[09:30] GIGI**
You kids!
**[09:33] GIGI**
Why are you hanging around?
**[09:36] GIGI**
Get back to work.
**[09:48] BOTH**
It's Grandma Gigi!
**[09:51] RUD**
I see you're as energetic as ever.
**[09:53] GIGI**
Well, if it isn't Rud.
**[09:59] GIGI**
And your girlfriend?
**[10:00] RUD**
No!
**[10:02] RUD**
Luna, this is Grandma Gigi.
**[10:05] RUD**
She's the town's apothecary.
**[10:07] RUD**
She makes medicines for Manicia.
**[10:11] GIGI**
It's nice to meet you, Luna.
**[10:13] LUNA**
Th-Thank you.
**[10:16] GIGI**
She reminds me of how Manicia used to be.
**[10:23] RUD**
Yeah.
**[10:25] GIGI**
I wish I could've done more to help.
**[10:28] GIGI**
But my medicines can only do so much for her.
**[10:31] RUD**
You've done plenty.
**[10:33] RUD**
She says she feels a lot
better now, thanks to you.
**[10:37] GIGI**
Oh, really?
**[10:38] GIGI**
If you need anything, Luna,
come visit my shop anytime.
**[10:43] GIGI**
All you youngsters are like my children.
**[10:46] GIGI**
Oh, right.
**[10:48] GIGI**
I'm about to harvest some spinach.
**[10:51] GIGI**
Would you like to come with me?
**[10:53] GUARD A**
Oh? Rud finally brought a woman home.
**[10:56] GUARD B**
Are you over your sister?
**[11:00] GUARD C**
Okay, don't go crazy today.
**[11:24] RUD**
Sorry.
**[11:26] RUD**
Out here in the sticks, their only
entertainment is other people's romances.
**[11:30] LUNA**
It's fine.
**[11:32] RUD**
In your case, since you're so pretty,
everyone wants to look after you all the more.
**[11:37] LUNA**
What?
**[11:37] RUD**
Oh, uh, nothing. Wh-Why don't you try
some of those freshly picked veggies?
**[11:41] LUNA**
R-Right.
**[11:46] LUNA**
It's good.
**[11:48] RUD**
I'm glad. The others will
be delighted to hear that.
**[11:53] RUD**
I know the pace of life is slower in
this town than in others, but I like it here.
**[12:01] RUD**
What did you think, Luna?
**[12:05] LUNA**
Everyone is so considerate.
**[12:08] LUNA**
I'm glad I got to come to such a nice town.
**[12:12] LUNA**
I'd be so happy if I could stay here forever.
**[12:22] LUNA**
Do you recognize this thing on my chest?
**[12:27] RUD**
It's a magic stone.
**[12:30] LUNA**
That's right.
**[12:32] LUNA**
You may find this hard to believe,
**[12:35] LUNA**
but I'm not human.
**[12:38] LUNA**
I'm a battle homunculus that was developed
in the neighboring nation of Brunkels.
**[12:44] LUNA**
I'm sorry for not telling you sooner.
**[12:48] LUNA**
I didn't want to.
**[12:51] LUNA**
I thought you'd kill me
if you knew I was a homunculus.
**[12:57] LUNA**
But you rescued me.
**[13:01] LUNA**
It hurt me to continue lying to you.
**[13:06] RUD**
Sorry.
**[13:08] RUD**
There's something I haven't told you, too.
**[13:11] RUD**
I actually knew you were a homunculus.
**[13:16] RUD**
I happened to see your
magic stone when we first met.
**[13:19] LUNA**
Then, why did you help me?
**[13:24] RUD**
Before coming here,
Manicia and I lived in the slums.
**[13:29] RUD**
Your eyes looked like hers did back then.
**[13:33] RUD**
I couldn't just leave you.
**[13:35] RUD**
But even when we lived there,
we never forgot how it felt to be human.
**[13:42] RUD**
What about you?
**[13:45] RUD**
Will you live as a homunculus or as a human?
**[13:49] RUD**
Will you tell me how you feel?
**[13:55] LUNA**
But I'm a homunculus.
**[13:58] LUNA**
That's unrealistic.
**[14:02] RUD**
Is it? I've never heard that
homunculi can't become humans.
**[14:08] RUD**
Besides, I enter labyrinths
for a similar reason.
**[14:13] RUD**
To cure Manicia's illness, I'm searching for the
Secret Treasure that may or may not exist.
**[14:21] RUD**
So we're both chasing shadows.
**[14:26] RUD**
Don't you think we'd get along?
**[14:33] LUNA**
I...
**[14:35] LUNA/M**
*In this place...*
**[14:38] LUNA/M**
*With this person...*
**[14:41] LUNA/M**
*Perhaps I could wish for that.*
**[14:45] LUNA**
I...
**[14:47] LUNA**
would like to live as a human.
**[14:51] RUD**
Okay.
**[14:53] RUD**
Then I look forward to knowing you, Luna.
**[14:55] LUNA**
Thank you. I look forward
to it as well, master.
**[14:58] RUD**
What? Doesn't "master" sound like
something a homunculus would say?
**[15:03] LUNA**
Does it?
**[15:05] LUNA**
But for some reason,
I wanted to call you that.
**[15:10] RUD**
I see.
**[15:14] LUNA**
Ms. Manicia, there's something
I'd like to discuss with you.
**[15:20] RUD**
Are you sure?
**[15:21] LUNA**
Yes. I don't want to hide it
from those I'm close to.
**[15:26] LUNA**
I am a homunculus.
**[15:29] LUNA**
I'm sorry for not telling you sooner.
**[15:35] MANICIA**
I did think you were a little different.
**[15:39] MANICIA**
Will you keep being my friend?
**[15:43] LUNA**
Of course.
**[15:48] MANICIA**
You knew everything, didn't you?
**[15:53] MANICIA**
*You help those who no one else will.*
**[15:57] MANICIA**
*You always, always have, dear brother.*
**[16:05] RUD**
It's finally over.
**[16:11] LUNA**
Good work today, master.
**[16:13] RUD**
You, too, Luna. Sorry for
having you help us clean.
**[16:18] LUNA**
It's all right.
**[16:19] LUNA**
Still, this is an incredible mansion.
**[16:25] MANICIA**
I made tea, everyone.
**[16:28] GUARD A**
What?!
**[16:28] GUARD B**
Tea made by Manicia?!
**[16:31] GUARDS**
Hurry!
**[16:32] GUARDS**
Move!
**[16:33] LUNA**
Ms. Manicia certainly is popular.
**[16:35] LUNA**
Huh?
**[16:36] RUD**
The first cup is mine!
**[16:45] RUD**
Being first to drink your tea
makes it taste even better.
**[16:49] MANICIA**
It's all the same.
**[16:51] FILLE**
You really are obsessed
with your sis, Rud.
**[16:53] RUD**
Stop saying that.
**[16:56] RUD**
How are you feeling, Manicia?
**[16:57] RUD**
I know you said you felt good today,
but you've been helping around the place.
**[17:01] MANICIA**
All I did was make tea.
You worry too much, dear brother.
**[17:04] RUD**
But...
**[17:07] MANICIA**
I may not be in great health,
**[17:10] MANICIA**
but I don't want to hold you back.
**[17:13] RUD**
Manicia...
**[17:15] RUD**
I'm always telling you, I've never
once felt like you're holding me back.
**[17:19] GUARD A**
Hey, Rud! Now that we're done cleaning,
let's duel. It's been a while.
**[17:24] LUNA**
D-Duel?
**[17:26] RUD**
It's not for real.
**[17:29] RUD/M**
*This is perfect, actually.*
**[17:31] RUD**
Guys, mind if we fight after I duel Fille?
**[17:35] FILLE**
Me?
**[17:38] FILLE**
I see. You want to test your previously
unknown skills in a mock battle.
**[17:44] RUD**
Yeah, and I figure I won't have to hold back
against the town guard's sub-leader.
**[17:50] FILLE**
The one whose absorb shield
is depleted more loses. Sound good?
**[17:54] RUD**
Yeah.
**[17:57] GUARD A**
All right...
**[17:58] GUARD A**
Begin!
**[18:02] LUNA**
They're not moving.
**[18:04] GUARD B**
Neither of their fighting
styles emphasize speed.
**[18:07] GUARD C**
But the first to move will be...
**[18:15] RUD/M**
*Such a heavy blow.*
**[18:26] RUD/M**
* Fille's gotten stronger*
* since we last fought.*
**[18:32] RUD/M**
*If one of those lands, I've lost.*
**[18:34] LUNA**
Ms. Fille is strong.
**[18:37] MANICIA**
They're called the town guard, but they're just
the youngsters who didn't move to the city.
**[18:41] MANICIA**
Few of them are skilled fighters.
**[18:46] MANICIA**
But Fille and my brother are special.
**[18:50] MANICIA**
They should be putting their
skills to use in a bigger city.
**[18:55] LUNA**
I see.
**[18:56] GUARD A**
Get him, Fille!
**[18:59] GUARD B**
Knock Rud on his butt for once!
**[19:02] LUNA**
Master!
**[19:03] LUNA**
You can do it!
**[19:05] MANICIA**
Brother!
**[19:10] FILLE**
Looking away? You must be confident.
**[19:14] RUD/M**
*I suffered a scratch, but it's not a problem.*
**[19:16] RUD/M**
*I'll use this damage to...*
**[19:20] GUARD A**
He's off balance!
**[19:21] GUARD B**
Now's your chance, Fille!
**[19:26] FILLE**
What?
**[19:35] FILLE**
That one blow took out my absorb shield?
**[19:39] GUARD A**
Rud's finally learned an offensive skill.
**[19:42] GUARD B**
Doesn't Fille have a 2,500 value shield?
**[19:45] GUARD C**
How strong is his skill
to blow through all that?
**[19:48] RUD**
You've gotten stronger.
**[19:50] FILLE**
But I didn't stand a chance against you.
**[19:55] FILLE**
Anyway, what was that
incredible skill just now?
**[19:58] RUD**
Oh, right. It's called Life Conversion.
**[20:01] RUD**
It allows me to convert the
depleted shield power into strength.
**[20:06] RUD**
I can't use it all the time,
**[20:08] RUD**
but that mock battle taught me its
offensive power is nothing to sneeze at.
**[20:13] RUD**
Thanks.
**[20:15] FILLE**
I'm glad I was able to help.
**[20:19] RUD/M**
* Until now, I've focused*
* on defending as a tank.*
**[20:24] RUD/M**
* But going forward, thanks to Life Conversion,*
* I'll be able to participate in attacking.*
**[20:31] RUD**
Okay. Who's next?
**[20:33] GUARD B**
S-Something just came up.
**[20:35] GUARD C**
Oh, no! My stomach!
**[20:37] LUNA**
That was amazing.
**[20:39] MANICIA**
You're right.
**[20:41] MANICIA**
My brother is truly amazing.
**[20:43] MANICIA**
In comparison, I'm...
**[20:48] (Flashback) MANICIA**
Mommy... Daddy... Brother...
**[20:51] (Flashback) MANICIA**
Where did you go?
**[20:54] (Flashback) TOWNIE A**
Apparently, she was abandoned.
**[20:56] (Flashback) TOWNIE B**
They say she has an incurable disease.
**[20:58] (Flashback) TOWNIE C**
They're just going to raise
their older child, Rud, right?
**[21:01] (Flashback) TOWNIE C**
I saw them dragging him away.
**[21:07] (Flashback) TOWNIE A**
The way she's looking,
I doubt she'll last long.
**[21:14] (Flashback) RUD**
Manicia!
**[21:19] (Flashback) RUD**
Good. So this is where you were.
**[21:22] (Flashback) MANICIA**
Brother!
**[21:29] MANICIA/M**
*Another dream about back then.*
**[21:33] MANICIA/M**
* My brother always comes*
* to save me in the end.*
**[21:37] MANICIA/M**
*But is my brother happy?*
**[21:42] MANICIA/M**
*If it weren't for me,*
**[21:46] MANICIA/M**
*could my brother be living more freely?*

**[00:02] RUD**
Good morning, Manicia.
**[00:04] MANICIA**
Brother, good...
**[00:07] MANICIA**
Good morning. I'll bring out breakfast.
**[00:10] RUD**
Then, I'll help you.
**[00:12] MANICIA**
I can manage it myself.
**[00:17] LUNA**
Master! Ms. Manicia!
**[00:19] LUNA**
I'm sorry I was late preparing breakfast—
**[00:23] LUNA**
You did it already?
**[00:25] MANICIA**
I see you're still not a morning person.
**[00:28] MANICIA**
Your bedhead is out of control.
**[00:32] LUNA**
I'm embarrassed that I can't
seem to do anything right.
**[00:35] RUD**
Don't worry about it.
We help each other out.
**[00:40] LUNA**
But...
**[00:41] LUNA**
I feel like I'm not doing anything to help.
**[00:44] RUD**
That's not true.
**[00:46] LUNA**
But it is.
**[00:48] LUNA**
Not only have you allowed me
to live a normal life,
**[00:52] LUNA**
but you've taught me so much as well.
**[00:56] LUNA**
Come to think of it,
you two are rather knowledgeable.
**[01:00] LUNA**
Who taught you what you know?
**[01:05] LUNA**
I see.
**[01:07] LUNA**
An apprenticeship, huh?
**[01:09] RUD**
Remember how I told you
we lived in the slums?
**[01:11] RUD**
The apprenticeship system is
basically a master-student relationship.
**[01:17] RUD**
At the time, there was an effort by the nobles
to return kids in the slums to a proper life.
**[01:23] RUD**
Because of that,
we were able to attend knight school.
**[01:27] LUNA**
Knight school?
**[01:32] (Flashback) FEMALE STUDENT A**
He can't do what he wants
because of his sister.
**[01:35] (Flashback) FEMALE STUDENT B**
I feel sorry for Rud.
**[01:38] RUD**
Manicia.
**[01:39] RUD**
Manicia.
**[01:41] MANICIA**
Yes?
**[01:43] RUD**
I'm heading into town later.
Is there anything you need?
**[01:46] MANICIA**
N-No, not particularly.
**[01:48] RUD**
Okay.

**[03:28] (Flashback) MALE STUDENT A**
You're amazing, Rud.
**[03:29] (Flashback) MALE STUDENT B**
I'm super impressed.
**[03:31] (Flashback) MALE STUDENT C**
You'll definitely become a knight.
**[03:33] MANICIA**
* My brother was an incredible student*
* who always achieved top marks.*
**[03:37] MANICIA**
* So everyone expected him*
* to become a knight.*
**[03:43] MANICIA**
*But...*
**[03:44] (Flashback) FEMALE STUDENT A**
Did you hear?
**[03:46] (Flashback) FEMALE STUDENT A**
Apparently, Rud's becoming an adventurer
to cure his sister's disease.
**[03:50] (Flashback) FEMALE STUDENT B**
No way.
**[03:52] (Flashback) FEMALE STUDENT C**
But he's so talented.
**[03:54] (Flashback) FEMALE STUDENT A**
He can't do what he wants
because of his sister.
**[03:57] (Flashback) FEMALE STUDENT B**
I feel sorry for Rud.
**[04:01] MANICIA**
* My existence closed off the many paths*
* that stretched before my brother.*
**[04:14] MANICIA**
Come in.
**[04:15] LUNA**
Are you feeling unwell?
**[04:19] MANICIA**
I'm fine. I was just thinking about the past.
**[04:25] MANICIA**
Luna?
**[04:27] LUNA**
You looked sad, so I wanted to cheer you up.
**[04:32] LUNA**
I'm sorry. I couldn't come up
with a better way to do it.
**[04:38] MANICIA**
Luna, if you...
**[04:41] MANICIA**
If you knew someone was throwing away
their life for you, what would you do?
**[04:48] MANICIA**
They'd be much happier
following another path,
**[04:52] MANICIA**
but they gave all of that up
in order to live for you,
**[04:57] MANICIA**
even though they could've been
much happier living another way.
**[05:02] MANICIA**
How would you interact
with someone like that?
**[05:07] LUNA**
I'm not sure.
**[05:09] LUNA**
I don't know that anyone
would go that far for me.
**[05:13] LUNA**
But perhaps doing that is
what makes that person happiest.
**[05:21] MANICIA**
What makes him happiest...
**[05:24] LUNA**
You're talking about the master, aren't you?
**[05:26] MANICIA**
N-No.
**[05:30] LUNA**
Why don't you try talking to him about it?
**[05:34] LUNA**
He rescued me, an illegal homunculus.
**[05:38] LUNA**
Perhaps the way he thinks
is different from others.
**[05:43] MANICIA**
But I don't know how to
interact with my brother.
**[05:50] MANICIA**
I don't think it's right
to rely on him too much,
**[05:54] MANICIA**
so I try to keep as much distance
between us as possible.
**[05:59] MANICIA**
But I really just want be kind to him.
**[06:02] MANICIA**
My head's a mess and
I don't know what to do.
**[06:08] LUNA**
Why don't you tell him
everything you're feeling?
**[06:12] MANICIA**
What?
**[06:13] SIGN**

**[06:13] SIGN**

**[06:16] MANICIA**
Wh-What should I do?
Wh-What should I say?
**[06:20] LUNA**
Others can only guess
what a person is thinking.
**[06:28] LUNA**
So try talking to him.
**[06:31] RUD**
Hup.
**[06:33] RUD**
I'm back, you two.
Check it out. I was given all—
**[06:36] MANICIA**
Dear brother.
**[06:38] MANICIA**
There's something I'd like to ask you.
**[06:45] RUD**
What is it?
**[06:51] MANICIA/M**
*I'm scared.*
**[06:53] MANICIA/M**
*Wh-What if he regrets saving me?*
**[07:10] MANICIA**
Dear brother, are you happy
with your current life?
**[07:13] RUD**
Of course I am.
**[07:15] MANICIA/M**
*How can he say that?*
**[07:18] MANICIA/M**
* He would've been happier*
* following another path.*
**[07:22] MANICIA**
Wh-Why...
**[07:25] MANICIA**
Why did you save me when I was abandoned?
**[07:30] RUD**
That's because...
**[07:32] RUD**
You once saved me.
**[07:35] MANICIA**
What? I saved you?
**[07:40] RUD**
When we were little, remember how
the other kids often called me scary
**[07:45] RUD**
because I was bigger than them
and my face looked unfriendly?
**[07:49] (Flashback) CHILD A**
It's Old Man Rud.
**[07:50] (Flashback) CHILD B**
So scary. Run!
**[07:54] (Flashback) RUD**
But I just wanted to play.
**[07:58] (Flashback) MANICIA**
Brother.
**[08:01] RUD**
But you never acted
like you were afraid of me.
**[08:05] RUD**
It made me happy every time.
**[08:09] RUD**
It's not like I didn't have doubts
when I decided to live with you,
**[08:15] RUD**
but I still think I made the right choice.
**[08:20] RUD**
I love the time I spend with you.
I'm happiest when I'm with you.
**[08:31] MANICIA**
I'm sorry.
**[08:33] MANICIA**
I assumed I knew how you felt.
**[08:38] MANICIA**
I thought you might be
unhappy because of me.
**[08:42] MANICIA**
And when I thought about that, I didn't
know how to interact with you anymore.
**[08:47] RUD**
Oh, uh, I've never been any good at that stuff.
**[08:51] RUD**
I'm sorry.
**[08:53] MANICIA**
I know.
**[08:55] MANICIA**
I know you better than anyone else.
**[08:58] MANICIA**
So I should've gotten my act together.
**[09:03] RUD**
I wouldn't say that, Manicia.
**[09:09] MANICIA**
Brother.
**[09:11] RUD**
Luna, thank you.
**[09:13] LUNA**
I-I didn't do anything.
**[09:16] MANICIA**
If not for you, I would've
worried about this forever, so...
**[09:22] MANICIA**
Thank you.
**[09:26] LUNA**
I-It's nearly time for lunch.
I-I'll prepare something to eat.
**[09:31] RUD**
Should we help her cook?
**[09:33] MANICIA**
Yes.
**[09:34] MANICIA**
Brother.
**[09:39] RUD**
Who dares disturb this blissful moment?
**[09:45] NIN**
It's good to see you again, Rud.
**[09:47] RUD**
Nin? Why are you here?
**[09:48] NIN**
I came to see you, of course.
**[09:51] NIN**
I got some time off.
**[09:53] RUD**
I'm surprised Kyglas allowed that.
**[09:56] NIN**
It wasn't Kyglas.
**[09:57] NIN**
The church granted me time off.
**[09:59] RUD**
What?
**[10:00] NIN**
I'm not a member of
the hero's party anymore.
**[10:03] RUD**
What?
**[10:04] NIN**
After you left, we kept
failing to clear labyrinths.
**[10:10] NIN**
So the hero's party disbanded.
**[10:14] RUD**
What?!
**[10:20] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
All of you, prepare for combat.
**[10:27] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Lilia, what the hell are you doing?
Get your act together!
**[10:30] (Flashback) LILIA**
I *do* have it together!
**[10:37] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Damn it. Why can't I deal enough damage?
**[10:40] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Why have we lost so much
of our absorb shields?
**[10:43] KYGLAS/M**
*What's different from before?*
**[10:47] (Flashback) SASHIN**
Mr. Kyglas!
**[10:49] (Flashback) SAA**
The air is beginning to warp over there.
**[10:51] (Flashback) SAA**
More monsters are coming.
**[10:57] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Life Burst.
**[11:01] KYGLAS/M**
* Activating my skill causes me to lose*
* 1,000 points of my absorb shield?*
**[11:05] KYGLAS/M**
*I had no idea using Life Burst cost so much.*
**[11:09] KYGLAS/M**
*Since he left, my skills have gotten weaker,*
**[11:12] KYGLAS/M**
* and my shield's been depleting*
* faster than before.*
**[11:16] KYGLAS/M**
*Could it be?*
**[11:21] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
No. No!
**[11:23] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
I...
**[11:26] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
I'm not wrong!
**[11:29] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Yes!
**[11:31] KYGLAS/M**
*If I can just hit it one more time...*
**[11:35] (Flashback) SAA**
U-Um, Mr. Kyglas...
**[11:37] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
What?
**[11:38] (Flashback) SAA**
Perhaps this floor is too high level for us.
**[11:42] (Flashback) SASHIN**
Forgive me, but we're allowing
monsters to respawn
**[11:44] (Flashback) SASHIN**
because we can't kill them fast enough.
**[11:46] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Silence.
**[11:48] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Nin, hurry up and heal us.
**[11:50] (Flashback) NIN**
What are you saying?
**[11:51] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
We can't retreat!
**[11:55] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
We can't fail anymore.
**[11:58] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Life Burst!
**[12:02] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Huh? It's not activating?
**[12:11] (Flashback) SAA**
He lost his entire shield.
**[12:14] (Flashback) NIN**
Kyglas!
**[12:15] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
W-Without my shield, it hurts so much.
**[12:31] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
No!
**[12:42] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
N-No! I don't want to die!
**[12:44] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
I can't die!
**[12:49] (Flashback) LILIA**
We're getting out of here, Lily!
**[12:51] (Flashback) LILY**
Got it.
**[12:52] (Flashback) LILY**
Dungeon Walk.
**[13:04] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Damn it!
**[13:06] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Evasion tank, my ass.
**[13:08] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Because of you,
my reputation's been tarnished.
**[13:12] (Flashback) SAA**
W-We're sorry.
**[13:13] (Flashback) SASHIN**
Forgive us.
**[13:15] (Flashback) NIN**
You're wrong.
**[13:18] (Flashback) NIN**
It's not their fault.
**[13:21] (Flashback) NIN**
Both this time and the time before,
it was your fault for recklessly charging in.
**[13:25] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
What?
**[13:27] (Flashback) NIN**
When did you quit training?
**[13:30] (Flashback) NIN**
You're scrawny and unhealthy
from drinking all the time.
**[13:34] (Flashback) NIN**
You've been relying on
your Life Burst up to now.
**[13:38] (Flashback) NIN**
Did you really think it'd be
enough to clear labyrinths?
**[13:41] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
W-Well, it worked, didn't it?
**[13:43] (Flashback) NIN**
Because Rud was around!
**[13:46] (Flashback) NIN**
Now that Rud's gone, you've finally realized
how your skill works, haven't you?
**[13:50] (Flashback) NIN**
I can tell.
**[13:52] (Flashback) NIN**
Life Burst enhances your physical abilities at
the cost of a major chunk of your absorb shield.
**[13:59] (Flashback) NIN**
That time Rud lost his entire shield,
**[14:01] (Flashback) NIN**
you'd just unleashed the biggest
Life Burst you'd ever cast.
**[14:05] (Flashback) NIN**
Rud's unknown skill must have allowed him
to treat others' shields as his own.
**[14:11] (Flashback) NIN**
You were pushing the cost
of your skill onto Rud.
**[14:15] (Flashback) NIN**
Rud's shield value was 9,999.
No wonder it made you so strong.
**[14:21] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
You're wrong! That was all me!
**[14:24] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Losing one tank shouldn't
s-screw things up this much.
**[14:29] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
I'm the hero—
**[14:32] (Flashback) NIN**
Whatever. I'm quitting your party either way.
**[14:35] (Flashback) NIN**
It must be so easy blaming others
for your shortcomings.
**[14:38] (Flashback) SASHIN**
I'm leaving as well. I'm sorry.
**[14:40] (Flashback) SAA**
I'm sorry. I'm not strong enough, either.
**[14:43] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
Damn it. I'll recover soon enough
and *prove* it to you.
**[14:46] (Flashback) KYGLAS**
I'm the strongest! I'm the hero!
**[14:50] NIN**
So yeah...
**[14:52] NIN**
That's how the party disbanded.
**[14:54] RUD**
That sounds rough.
**[14:56] RUD**
I finally learned what
my own skills do recently.
**[14:59] RUD**
I'm sorry for what I did.
**[15:01] NIN**
It's fine. We're also responsible
for not figuring it out.
**[15:06] NIN**
Rud, I'm sorry for everything.
**[15:08] RUD**
What?
**[15:10] NIN**
I didn't know you were tanking
the damage our shields were taking.
**[15:14] NIN**
We let our guard down. I'm sorry.
**[15:18] RUD**
That goes for me, too.
**[15:20] RUD**
I should've identified
my unknown skills sooner.
**[15:24] RUD**
I'm sorry, too.
**[15:26] NIN**
In that case...
**[15:27] NIN**
No more talk about that.
No point dwelling on the past forever.
**[15:32] RUD/M**
*She's always quick to flip her mood.*
**[15:39] NIN**
You're Manicia and Luna, right?
**[15:41] MANICIA**
Yes, Ms. Nin.
**[15:42] LUNA**
Nice to meet you.
**[15:44] NIN**
I'm planning on checking out the orchard and
stuff for a while, so I'll be seeing you around.
**[15:49] RUD**
What? For a while?
**[15:51] NIN**
What's that? You saying you want me to leave?
**[15:54] RUD**
No, that's not what I meant.
**[15:56] RUD**
There isn't a proper inn around here.
**[15:58] RUD**
We have the adventurers who
sometimes visit stay in an empty home.
**[16:01] NIN**
O-Oh, really? What am I going to do?
**[16:04] MANICIA**
In that case, why don't you stay with us?
**[16:07] NIN**
Can I?
**[16:08] MANICIA**
If you don't mind staying in my room.
**[16:10] RUD**
Uh, Manicia, I didn't mention this before,
**[16:13] RUD**
but Nin's the daughter of
a duke, making her nobility.
**[16:15] MANICIA**
What?
**[16:16] RUD**
She's a saint.
**[16:17] MANICIA**
What?
**[16:18] NIN**
Hey, don't bring that up!
**[16:21] NIN**
It's totally fine, Manicia.
**[16:23] RUD/M**
* I wouldn't want the church to rub us out for*
* providing inadequate facilities for a saint.*
**[16:29] RUD**
Anyway, you can sleep in my room.
**[16:32] NIN**
Wow, how spartan.
**[16:35] NIN**
But I suppose it suits you.
It puts me at ease.
**[16:38] RUD**
I'll sleep in the living room.
**[16:41] NIN**
I don't mind sharing a room with you.
**[16:45] RUD**
Drop the act.
**[16:47] NIN**
What? You could tell?
**[16:49] NIN**
But, well...
**[16:51] NIN**
That wasn't a joke, you know.
**[16:57] FILLE**
Rud! Are you there, Rud?
**[17:01] RUD**
Fille?
**[17:02] FILLE**
Rud!
**[17:03] FILLE**
The orchard...
**[17:06] FILLE**
A monster I've never seen
before has shown up there.
**[17:10] RUD**
The orchard...
**[17:12] NIN**
This is the work of a monster.
**[17:13] NIN**
We must defeat it quickly.
**[17:16] RUD**
I'm sorry you got dragged into this, Nin.
**[17:19] NIN**
Don't be so reserved.
We used to be in the same party.
**[17:23] FILLE**
Over there! That's it!
**[17:24] RUD**
A wolf? No, wait. A tiger?
**[17:27] NIN**
I can't see it clearly
because of its magic essence.
**[17:29] RUD**
Magic essence? You mean that black miasma?
**[17:32] NIN**
Yeah. I'm gonna purge it.
**[17:39] RUD**
Nice work, Nin.
**[17:41] NIN**
Nothing I can't handle.
**[17:44] RUD/M**
* This monster's biological structure seems*
* different from any I've encountered before.*
**[17:52] RUD/M**
* It's as if its magic essence*
* has taken over its sense of self.*
**[18:02] RUD**
Are you okay?
**[18:04] VUILD**
Rud.
**[18:05] RUD**
Mr. Vuild?
**[18:06] FILLE**
Dad, are you okay?
**[18:08] GUARD A**
Sir.
**[18:09] VUILD**
Sorry. I acted rashly.
**[18:12] RUD**
Watch out!
**[18:14] RUD/M**
*Provoke.*
**[18:18] RUD**
Those of you who can cast spells,
keep chain-casting healing spells on me.
**[18:21] LUNA**
Got it.
**[18:29] GUARD A**
Rud!
**[18:32] RUD**
Now's your chance to attack.
**[18:35] RUD**
I'll draw all the enemy's attacks!
**[18:48] RUD/M**
*They took a lot of damage.*
**[18:50] NIN**
Luna, here we go.
**[18:51] LUNA**
Got it.
**[18:57] RUD**
Nice work, Nin and Luna.
**[18:59] LUNA**
Master!
**[19:00] NIN**
We'll keep healing you.
Go as hard as you want.
**[19:04] RUD**
Don't be scared. Get in there.
**[19:07] RUD**
My Shield of Sacrifice skill lets me tank
the damage dealt to your absorb shields.
**[19:13] GUARD B**
That's the ultimate tanking skill.
**[19:16] GUARD C**
So you mean we can charge in
without worrying about taking damage?
**[19:19] RUD**
Yeah.
**[19:20] GUARD B**
All right.
**[19:21] GUARD C**
Let's do this.
**[19:34] FILLE**
It's fleeing.
**[19:36] RUD**
Don't let it escape!
**[19:37] RUD**
Crap.
**[19:38] RUD**
It's heading toward the town.
**[19:43] RUD**
A wall sprang up from the ground?
**[19:45] RUD**
Luna.
**[19:47] RUD**
All right.
**[19:52] RUD/M**
* I'll pour the 20,000 points*
* of damage I've taken so far...*
**[19:55] RUD/M**
*into this one attack.*
**[19:59] RUD**
Life Conversion!
**[20:13] RUD/M**
*I overdid it!*
**[20:17] RUD/M**
* I think I caused more damage*
* than the rampaging monster.*
**[20:21] VUILD**
Rud.
**[20:23] VUILD**
Thanks to you, we've defeated the
monster without a single casualty.
**[20:27] VUILD**
Thank you.
**[20:29] RUD**
*That's good.*
**[22:04] RUD**
So that was a C-rank black wolf?
**[22:08] RUD/M**
* But it was clearly as powerful*
* as an A-rank monster.*
**[22:13] RUD**
Two magic stones?
**[22:15] NIN**
That's odd. All creatures capable
of using magic have magic stones,
**[22:20] NIN**
but they normally only have one.
**[22:22] LUNA**
Master, this magic stone resembles
the ones used to create homunculi.
**[22:28] NIN**
Which means someone forced a
homunculus's magic stone into a monster?
**[22:33] NIN**
Look at this.
**[22:35] NIN**
It looks like it was stitched together.
**[22:38] RUD**
In other words,
someone created this monster.
**[22:43] NIN**
Yeah.
**[22:44] NIN**
Someone's using homunculus
technology on monsters.
**[22:48] NIN**
But isn't creating homunculi
for battle prohibited?
**[22:54] RUD**
It may be forbidden, but I'm sure
there are many who are interested in it.
**[22:58] NIN**
You're right.
**[22:59] NIN**
Apparently, there are factories in the
neighboring nation that employ only homunculi.
**[23:04] RUD/M**
* But if this was created for*
* some purpose other than curiosity...*
**[23:11] RUD**
For now, we should report
all of this to the local lord.
**[23:15] RUD/M**
* This attack by a monster with two magic stones*
* was merely the harbinger of what was to come.*

**[00:01] RUD**
Nothing about it in today's paper, either.
**[00:06] RUD/ID**
*That monster with two magic stones...*
**[00:09] RUD/ID**
*I wonder what that was about.*
**[00:12] MANICIA**
Good morning, dear brother.
**[00:15] RUD**
Good morning, Manicia—
**[00:17] RUD**
Huh?
**[00:19] MANICIA**
Could you read the paper to me?
**[00:22] RUD**
B-But you're good at reading and writing.
**[00:27] MANICIA**
Please read to me.
**[00:29] RUD/ID**
*When Manicia asks for special treatment...*
**[00:31] RUD/ID**
*she's so cute!*
**[00:34] RUD**
Labyrinths have been
popping up frequently lately.
**[00:38] MANICIA**
I see.
**[00:41] RUD**
A labyrinth in Avancia, huh?
**[00:44] RUD/ID**
*Come to think of it, the other day...*
**[00:47] (Flashback) VUILD**
If a labyrinth appeared nearby,
it would really revitalize the area.
**[00:55] RUD**
That article's about the
royal capital's economy.
**[00:58] RUD**
That one's about a new policy.
**[01:00] RUD**
And that article is on...
**[01:02] MANICIA**
"Ex-Hero Kyglas Raids New Labyrinth."
**[01:06] MANICIA**
He was in your old party, wasn't he?
**[01:09] RUD**
Yeah.
**[01:10] MANICIA**
Ms. Nin says she doesn't like him
because he makes fun of you.
**[01:17] RUD**
Nin's got a lot of personal
feelings on the matter.
**[01:21] MANICIA**
I'm surprised.
**[01:22] RUD**
What?
**[01:23] MANICIA**
So you're aware of
Ms. Nin's fondness for you.
**[01:26] MANICIA**
Do you pretend not to notice
because of my illness?
**[01:35] RUD**
Maybe a little,
but I'm the root of the problem.
**[01:42] RUD**
I'm a weak person, you see.
**[01:45] RUD**
When I get into that sort of relationship,
I end up clinging to it.
**[01:50] RUD**
It prevents me from raiding labyrinths.
**[01:54] RUD**
I'm too clumsy.
**[01:56] RUD**
I probably couldn't do both at the same time.
**[02:01] MANICIA**
I think you'd be fine.
**[02:05] MANICIA**
So...
**[02:07] MANICIA**
Even if you find someone special
and find happiness with them,
**[02:12] MANICIA**
please don't stop caring for me, okay?
**[02:17] RUD**
Yeah.
**[02:19] RUD**
Of course.

A Tank with a Rare 9,999 Resistance Skill
Got Kicked from the Hero's Party
**[03:54] FILLE**
O-Okay, everyone.
**[03:56] FILLE**
We've called you all here today
**[03:58] FILLE**
to take down the chameleon kong
that was spotted here recently.
**[04:04] FILLE**
Chameleon kongs are monsters that
inhabit an area far to the south.
**[04:08] FILLE**
It's hard to believe one made it
all the way to Avancia without being seen.
**[04:13] FILLE**
Therefore, we must investigate the reason
for its appearance in addition to subduing it.
**[04:18] FILLE**
Thank you for assisting us with this.
**[04:23] FILLE**
Furthermore, it's likely the
chameleon kong came from a labyrinth.
**[04:29] FILLE**
So if you find an entrance,
let us know right away.
**[04:33] NIN**
Huh? What's that?
**[04:36] RUD**
Oh, this?
**[04:37] RUD**
I had it made by a skilled
father-daughter blacksmithing duo.
**[04:41] (Flashback) MILENA**
Rud, here's your new sword.
**[04:43] (Flashback) RAISIL**
I polished up your shield, too.
**[04:46] RUD**
The sword is an impressive product on
its own, but it has the Enchant skill, too.
**[04:51] NIN**
Wow.
**[04:52] LUNA**
What's Enchant?
**[04:54] RUD**
Different elements can be used to change the
magic stone's mana and enchant the weapon.
**[05:00] RUD**
It's probably best if I just show you.
**[05:02] RUD**
I can use magic of all elements,
but not well enough to be useful for attacks.
**[05:07] RUD**
But if I channel it into this stone...
**[05:12] RUD**
I can turn it into a fire-type sword.
**[05:15] SIGN**
FWOOSH
**[05:15] SIGN**
SKREE!
**[05:15] RUD**
In other words, it can be used
to target a monster's weakness.
**[05:18] SIGN**
SPLASH
**[05:18] SIGN**
BURN
**[05:20] LUNA**
I see.
**[05:24] CINANIS**
You're F-rank, aren't you?
**[05:26] CINANIS**
That treasure is wasted on you.
**[05:28] ADVENTURER F**
Hey, don't.
**[05:30] RUD**
You're C-rank, right?
**[05:32] CINANIS**
Yeah. There's no point in an
F-rank wielding a good sword.
**[05:37] CINANIS**
Why don't you just head home now, old man?
**[05:41] LUNA**
H-How *dare* that adventurer!
**[05:43] LUNA**
Master, aren't you going to say something?
**[05:45] RUD**
Calm down, Luna.
**[05:47] RUD**
I'd rather be underestimated
than overestimated.
**[05:52] LUNA**
Well, maybe...
**[05:54] LUNA**
But I don't like seeing you being mocked.
**[05:58] NIN**
See? People underrate you
because you won't update your rank.
**[06:02] NIN**
You're actually strong enough for a
saint like me to name you a knight.
**[06:08] ALL**
What?
**[06:09] ADVENTURER F**
Is that true, Lady Saint?
**[06:10] NIN**
Yeah. He turned down my offer, though.
**[06:12] CINANIS**
But why?
**[06:14] RUD**
If you raise your rank too much,
the guild will start summoning you.
**[06:19] RUD/ID**
* Besides, I became an adventurer*
* to cure Manicia's illness.*
**[06:30] RUD**
It's the chameleon kong! Above us!
**[06:37] ALL**
What?
**[06:49] NIN**
She's not bad.
**[06:50] RUD**
Yeah. Fille's better than
your average adventurer.
**[06:55] RUD**
Provoke.
**[07:11] RUD/ID**
*Each attack is heavy, but...*
**[07:17] RUD/ID**
* They're managing to attack it*
* without anyone getting hit.*
**[07:21] FILLE**
Keep attacking, everyone!
**[07:23] ALL**
Yeah!
**[07:24] RUD/ID**
*But why do I feel like something's off?*
**[07:27] RUD/ID**
* Its large swings,*
* its attention-grabbing roars...*
**[07:30] RUD/ID**
* If it were human, its actions*
* would make it seem like a tank.*
**[07:40] GUARD A**
What? There's more of them?
**[07:42] GUARD B**
No one said there'd be more!
**[07:44] RUD**
Get back, everyone!
**[07:48] GUARD B**
A diversion? But they're just dumb monsters!
**[07:53] FILLE/ID**
*We're surrounded.*
**[07:55] FILLE/ID**
*What should we do?*
**[07:58] FILLE/ID**
*I can't handle this.*
**[08:00] RUD**
Fille!
**[08:01] RUD**
As leader, your attitude
will spread to the others.
**[08:05] FILLE**
Leader?
**[08:07] RUD**
That's right. You're our leader, aren't you?
**[08:10] FILLE**
Yeah.
**[08:12] RUD**
I know you'll find a way through this.
**[08:14] FILLE**
Yeah.
**[08:15] FILLE**
Let's reorganize!
**[08:18] RUD**
Provoke.
**[08:21] FILLE**
Get in formation now.
**[08:23] CINANIS**
Hey! Taking on all three is too dangerous!
**[08:30] RUD**
Don't go thinking that's enough to beat me.
**[08:36] LUNA**
I'll make you regret attacking my master!
**[08:40] LUNA**
Wind Shot!
**[08:44] RUD**
Finish that one off!
**[08:46] CINANIS**
Gotcha! Let's do this!
**[08:52] RUD**
They should be able to handle that one.
**[08:54] RUD**
Now, what's next?
**[08:58] RUD**
If I recall correctly,
chameleon kongs are weak to fire.
**[09:01] RUD**
Enchant: Fire.
**[09:10] RUD**
That was super effective.
**[09:12] RUD**
The rest is up to you.
**[09:13] FILLE**
Got it.
**[09:18] FILLE**
The guards will finish this one off.
**[09:20] ALL**
Yeah!
**[09:36] RUD**
Luna!
**[09:37] LUNA**
Got it!
**[09:38] LUNA**
Wind Shot!
**[09:44] NIN**
You're not getting away.
**[09:52] RUD**
This ends now!
**[10:07] RUD**
How are the others doing?
**[10:08] GUARD A**
We took down a chameleon kong!
**[10:11] GUARD B**
Nah, we wouldn't have been
able to do anything without Rud.
**[10:16] GUARD A**
You're right.
**[10:21] CINANIS**
We beat ours, too.
**[10:23] RUD**
Great.
**[10:25] CINANIS**
You must be a monster
if that situation didn't scare you.
**[10:28] RUD**
As a tank, I couldn't back down.
**[10:32] CINANIS**
I see.
**[10:34] CINANIS**
Listen, I'm sorry for making fun of you.
**[10:38] RUD**
It's fine. Rank is an indicator
of an adventurer's skills.
**[10:43] RUD**
If someone's rank is low,
it's natural to wonder what's up.
**[11:00] RUD**
*They died just like monsters in a labyrinth?*
**[11:03] NIN**
Rud.
**[11:05] NIN**
Look.
**[11:10] RUD**
A labyrinth entrance?
**[11:19] FILLE**
A-A labyrinth has appeared in Avancia.
**[11:23] FILLE**
May this lead to the further
development of the town. Cheers!
**[11:28] ALL**
Cheers!
**[11:29] RAISIL**
S'gonna get busy around here.
**[11:31] MILENA**
Bring it on.
**[11:31] VUILD**
Thanks for looking after my people.
**[11:36] LUNA**
They're really celebrating tonight.
**[11:38] MANICIA**
Indeed. The appearance of a labyrinth
may stop the town's population decline.
**[11:44] LUNA**
That's great news, master.
**[11:46] RUD**
Yeah, I guess.
**[11:48] GUARD B**
Hey, Manicia.
**[11:51] GUARD B**
Wanna drink with me?
**[11:54] RUD**
Do you have a death wish?
**[11:56] RUD**
If you want to drink, I'll drink with you.
**[11:58] GUARD B**
I'm sorry.
**[11:58] NIN**
Looks like they're partying hard.
**[12:00] LUNA**
Ms. Nin.
**[12:02] NIN**
Are you having fun?
**[12:03] LUNA**
Yes, very much so.
**[12:05] LUNA**
Although my master doesn't look too happy.
**[12:09] NIN**
Well, labyrinths aren't all good.
**[12:13] NIN**
He's probably worried about that.
**[12:14] LUNA**
They're not?
**[12:16] NIN**
No. They come with all kinds of problems.
**[12:19] NIN**
If the labyrinth's monsters aren't defeated,
**[12:22] NIN**
they sometimes leave the labyrinth
like those chameleon kongs did.
**[12:26] NIN**
If that happens frequently, it becomes
nothing but a threat to nearby residents.
**[12:31] LUNA**
Then, shouldn't they find folk to exterminate
the monsters like we did this time?
**[12:36] NIN**
That comes with its own set of problems.
**[12:40] NIN**
Anyone can become an adventurer.
**[12:43] NIN**
In other words, even the worst kinds
of people can become adventurers.
**[12:46] ALL**
Fille!
**[12:47] NIN**
It's not unusual for adventurers to follow
around cute girls they see like stalkers.
**[12:52] NIN**
Those kinds of adventurers
might prey on you or Manicia.
**[12:57] LUNA**
Then, how should adventurers be organized?
**[13:01] RUD**
With clans.
**[13:03] LUNA**
What are clans?
**[13:04] SIGN**
Party
**[13:04] SIGN**
Clan
**[13:04] SIGN**
Party
**[13:04] SIGN**
Party
**[13:05] RUD**
Clans are organizations of multiple parties.
**[13:09] SIGN**
Party
**[13:09] RUD**
Adventurers who are part of clans
are officially recognized by the nation,
**[13:12] RUD**
and are responsible for
defending towns, like knights.
**[13:16] NIN**
Ultimately, even adventurers
want stability, too.
**[13:20] RUD**
Entire towns can fall
into ruin without clans.
**[13:25] RUD**
Avancia in particular has few
combatants, so without a clan,
**[13:30] RUD**
it's possible the adventurers that end up
here will just do whatever they want.
**[13:35] RUD/ID**
*And if anything happened to Manicia...*
**[13:38] NIN**
Don't scowl so much.
**[13:41] NIN**
I'll help you, okay?
**[13:44] FILLE**
Rud!
**[13:48] FILLE**
Ah, this is so soothing.
**[13:51] RUD**
Q-Quit it, Fille. My absorb shield...
**[13:52] FILLE**
Good boy.
**[13:54] FILLE**
I'm gonna pet you.
**[13:54] RUD**
I can't breathe.
**[13:57] RUD**
Fille! You've had too much to drink!
**[14:01] ADVENTURER G**
Hey! What are *you* looking at?
**[14:04] ADVENTURER H**
You wanna go?
**[14:06] RUD**
You two.
**[14:08] RUD**
Are you fighting again?
**[14:11] BOTH**
We're sorry!
**[14:15] NIN**
Nice work patrolling the town.
**[14:19] NIN**
It's been a week since
the labyrinth appeared.
**[14:21] NIN**
I never thought this many
adventurers would show up.
**[14:25] RUD**
Got that right.
**[14:26] TOWNSFOLK A**
Mr. Rud.
**[14:28] TOWNSFOLK A**
Thank you for your help the other day.
**[14:30] TOWNSFOLK B**
Rud, if anything comes up,
I hope we can count on you again.
**[14:34] NIN**
I hear you've been
fulfilling a lot of requests.
**[14:37] RUD**
Just trying to control them won't work.
**[14:41] TOWNSFOLK C**
Hey, there's a fight.
**[14:42] TOWNSFOLK D**
This way.
**[14:49] TOWNSFOLK C**
It's the Black Dragon Fang's
number three, Boo,
**[14:53] TOWNSFOLK C**
and the White Tiger Claw's
number three, Gurly.
**[14:56] TOWNSFOLK D**
Aren't they both A-rank adventurers?
A fight between them won't end well.
**[15:02] RUD**
Wait.
**[15:04] RUD**
You're scaring the townsfolk.
**[15:06] RUD**
Could I ask you to stop fighting?
**[15:08] BOO**
Who are you?
**[15:10] GURLY**
We're defending the honor of our clans here.
**[15:13] GURLY**
Why don't you stay out of this?
**[15:15] RUD**
So you won't stop, then?
**[15:17] BOO**
In that case, why don't you
settle something for us?
**[15:20] BOO**
Which clan should be allowed into this town,
the Black Dragon Fang or the White Tiger Claw?
**[15:25] RUD**
We don't need either of you if you're going
to cause trouble, so feel free to leave.
**[15:30] BOO**
Oh?
**[15:31] BOO HENCHMAN**
You! Show some respect
when talking to Mr. Boo!
**[15:38] NIN**
Stop wasting your time on this nonsense.
**[15:41] NIN**
Unlike Rud, I won't go easy on you.
**[15:45] RUD**
This town has its own rules.
**[15:48] RUD**
If you must fight here,
then I'll take you on.
**[15:53] BOO**
We're sorry.
**[15:55] GURLY**
We were wrong.
**[15:57] GURLY**
Anyway, are you in a clan?
You should join ours—
**[16:00] BOO**
Butt out, Gurly. The Black Dragon Claw
is a much better fit for him.
**[16:03] BOO**
Black Dragon!
**[16:04] GURLY**
White Tiger!
**[16:05] BOO**
Black Dragon!
**[16:06] GURLY**
White Tiger!
**[16:08] RUD**
I won't be joining either.
**[16:10] RUD**
Come on, that's enough now.
Welcome to Avancia.
**[16:15] RUD/ID**
*They know when to back down.*
**[16:18] RUD/ID**
* Clan adventurers are different*
* from individual adventurers after all.*
**[16:22] RUD/ID**
* But I doubt I'll be able*
* to leave town for a while.*
**[16:27] NIN**
I didn't think those clans
would try to recruit you.
**[16:29] RUD**
Yeah.
**[16:31] RUD/ID**
*I once dreamed of joining a clan*
**[16:34] RUD/ID**
* that operated like*
* a family of adventurers.*
**[16:39] GUARD A**
Rud!
**[16:40] GUARD A**
What happened with the clan feud?
**[16:42] RUD**
It's settled.
**[16:44] GUARD A**
Then, please stop by headquarters as soon
as you can. Mr. Vuild is looking for you.
**[16:48] RUD**
Mr. Vuild?
**[16:51] VUILD**
The lord contacted me regarding the
present situation in town.
**[16:55] RUD**
The lord himself?
**[16:57] VUILD**
I was told to choose between two options.
**[17:02] VUILD**
The first is for you to create a
clan and become its leader.
**[17:09] RUD**
Me?
**[17:11] RUD**
But this is so sudden.
**[17:13] VUILD**
It's not, though.
**[17:14] VUILD**
People have been singing
your praises for a while now.
**[17:18] VUILD**
They say you're a young
and skilled adventurer.
**[17:22] RUD**
I appreciate the compliments,
**[17:25] RUD**
but I have to cure Manicia's illness.
**[17:28] RUD**
I can't take on a position like that.
**[17:30] VUILD**
I know, but it's also
what the townsfolk want.
**[17:35] VUILD**
Rather than bringing in an outsider,
**[17:37] VUILD**
they want you to do it,
even if you are inexperienced.
**[17:42] RUD/ID**
*I appreciate the sentiment.*
**[17:44] RUD/ID**
* If Manicia's illness is cured someday,*
* I'd like to live a quiet life here.*
**[17:50] RUD/ID**
*I'd like to help the town, too, but...*
**[17:53] VUILD**
And the second option is...
**[17:56] VUILD**
to destroy Avancia's labyrinth.
**[17:59] RUD**
What? But that would hurt
the town's development.
**[18:02] VUILD**
Numerous labyrinths have
appeared across the nation.
**[18:06] VUILD**
They can't afford to manage all of them.
**[18:09] VUILD**
That goes for Avancia's labyrinth, too.
**[18:11] VUILD**
They can't leave improperly
managed labyrinths open.
**[18:16] VUILD**
So if you're unable to form a clan,
**[18:19] VUILD**
he'd like you to join the party currently
exploring the labyrinth and destroy it.
**[18:26] VUILD**
I hate to do this,
but I'd like you to choose.
**[18:29] VUILD**
Either become a clan leader and
manage the town and labyrinth,
**[18:33] VUILD**
or destroy the labyrinth.
**[18:35] VUILD**
Which will it be?
**[18:44] (Flashback) VUILD**
You don't need to decide right away, but
I'd appreciate an answer as soon as possible.
**[18:50] DRUNK A**
Hey, thief!
**[18:51] DRUNK A**
You were tryin' to steal my stuff!
**[18:53] DRUNK B**
I'm not a thief!
**[18:54] DRUNK B**
I just made a mistake!
**[18:56] RUD**
Hey, cut it out.
**[18:58] DRUNK A**
Shut up!
**[18:58] DRUNK B**
You're just an adventurer! Stay out of this!
**[19:02] RUD/ID**
* Is forming a clan the only way*
* to get the situation under control?*
**[19:07] LUNA**
I finally found you, master!
**[19:10] LUNA**
Master, you must return to the house quickly.
**[19:13] LUNA**
It's Ms. Manicia!
**[19:19] RUD**
Grandma Gigi, how is Manicia?
**[19:22] GIGI**
She's fine. She's just feeling a bit
under the weather as usual.
**[19:28] RUD**
I see.
**[19:29] MANICIA**
You worry too much, brother.
**[19:34] MANICIA**
More importantly, is the town all right?
**[19:38] RUD**
Don't worry about that. You should rest.
**[19:41] MANICIA**
All right.
**[19:47] RUD/ID**
*If I became a clan leader,*
**[19:49] RUD/ID**
*I wouldn't be able to leave Avancia for long.*
**[19:53] RUD/ID**
* I wouldn't be able to visit*
* various labyrinths anymore.*
**[19:57] RUD/ID**
* I don't know if I'll ever find the*
* wish-granting Secret Treasure,*
**[20:01] RUD/ID**
* but if I stay in this town,*
* Manicia will never be cured.*
**[20:07] RUD**
Nin. Luna.
**[20:10] RUD**
I'd like you to do something for me.
**[20:17] RUD**
I'm going to destroy Avancia's labyrinth.
**[20:21] RUD**
I'd like you to help me do it.
**[20:24] NIN**
Are you sure?
**[20:26] NIN**
That decision would deprive the town
of an opportunity for development.
**[20:31] RUD**
If I have to choose between
Manicia and the town,
**[20:35] RUD**
then I choose Manicia.
**[20:41] LUNA**
Um, i-if I may...
**[20:45] LUNA**
If you became a clan leader,
would you have to stay in the town?
**[20:53] RUD**
What?
**[20:54] RUD**
If I became a leader, I'd probably
have to stay until things settled down.
**[20:59] LUNA**
Would you, though?
**[21:01] LUNA**
Couldn't you choose someone to represent
you and lead the clan in your place?
**[21:06] RUD**
Even if that were possible,
I couldn't force someone to do that.
**[21:11] LUNA**
If I...
**[21:13] LUNA**
If I can protect the town
in your place, then I will.
**[21:18] LUNA**
I like this town that's been so kind to me.
**[21:22] LUNA**
So just as you helped me,
I'd like to help you if I can.
**[21:30] RUD**
But...
**[21:31] NIN**
Are you gonna hide your true feelings again?
**[21:34] RUD**
Nin.
**[21:35] NIN**
It's okay. I'll support Luna.
**[21:38] NIN**
I planned to quit being
a saint eventually anyway.
**[21:41] NIN**
It's not what the church wants,
but they understand at least.
**[21:45] NIN**
So I'll join your clan and help you.
**[21:49] RUD**
Why would you both do all that for me?
**[21:53] NIN**
Lots of people are grateful to you.
**[21:56] NIN**
You're always protecting us, so it's not odd
to want to help you out sometimes, right?
**[22:03] LUNA**
Ms. Nin is right.
**[22:06] RUD**
Are you sure about this?
**[22:08] NIN**
Of course we are,
so stop looking so miserable.
**[22:14] NIN**
You should do what you want to do.
**[22:19] MANICIA**
Brother.
**[22:21] RUD**
Manicia!
**[22:23] RUD**
You should be in bed.
**[22:30] MANICIA**
I'm no longer the person
you've had to protect all this time.
**[22:36] MANICIA**
Like Luna, I love this town.
**[22:40] MANICIA**
If there's a way for you
to protect this town,
**[22:45] MANICIA**
then I'd like you to do that.
**[22:52] MANICIA**
I feel fine now.
**[22:58] RUD/ID**
*She's hardly fine, but after seeing that...*
**[23:05] RUD**
I take back what I said.
**[23:10] RUD**
I'll protect Manicia and this town.
**[23:13] RUD**
So I'd like your help.
**[23:16] BOTH**
Sure.

**[00:07] (Flashback) LUNA**
If I can protect the town
in your place, then I will.
**[00:13] RUD/ID**
* Encouraged by my friends,*
* I decided to save both Manicia and the town.*
**[00:20] RUD/ID**
* I will conquer the labyrinth in order*
* to make all of my dreams come true.*
**[00:26] RUD/ID**
*I immediately set to work forming a clan,*
**[00:29] RUD/ID**
*but I was summoned by adventurers
exploring Avancia's labyrinth.*
**[00:33] RUD/ID**
* I didn't think members of my old party*
* would be exploring the labyrinth.*
**[00:43] LILIA**
Okay, allow us to reintroduce ourselves.
**[00:48] LILIA**
I am Lilia. I haven't seen you
since the day you were kicked out, Rud.
**[00:52] LILY**
I'm her twin sister, Lily.
**[00:55] LILY**
We're twins, but we have different
eye colors due to a physical idiosyncrasy.
**[00:59] LUNA/ID**
*They're so close.*
**[01:01] SUGOL**
That must've been difficult for you.
**[01:04] SUGOL**
I am the church knight, Sugol.
**[01:07] LUNA**
I-I'm Luna. It's nice to meet you.
**[01:14] SUGOL**
Let's discuss the details inside.
**[01:18] KYGLAS**
Hey.
**[01:20] KYGLAS**
It's been a while, Rud.
**[01:23] NIN**
Kyglas!
**[01:25] NIN**
You've got some nerve asking Rud
to meet you after what you did to him.
**[01:31] RUD**
Thanks, but I'm fine now.
**[01:35] RUD**
Kyglas.
**[01:36] RUD**
Explain yourself.
**[01:39] RUD**
You didn't invite me here
just to say hello, did you?
**[01:44] KYGLAS**
Yesterday, we encountered
a sentient guardian.
**[01:49] RUD/ID**
*A sentient guardian?*
**[01:53] RUD/ID**
* We've never been able to converse with*
* guardians that we've fought before now,*
**[01:58] RUD/ID**
*even when they were humanoid.*
**[02:03] KYGLAS**
You can see how that turned out for me, so...
**[02:07] KYGLAS**
You should explore the labyrinth instead.
**[02:09] RUD**
What?
**[02:11] KYGLAS**
While I'm stuck here,
you should finish the mission!
**[02:13] KYGLAS**
Quit complaining and hop to it!
**[02:15] LILIA**
In other words, having you pick up where
he left off is his way of apologizing.
**[02:21] KYGLAS**
Don't tell him *that!*
**[02:22] LILIA**
Hm? Are you embarrassed?
**[02:24] KYGLAS**
No way!
**[02:25] KYGLAS**
Aw, man.
**[02:27] KYGLAS**
You need the Secret Treasure of the
Labyrinth to cure your sister, right?
**[02:32] RUD**
You remember that?
**[02:35] KYGLAS**
I understand now what
was enabling me to fight.
**[02:44] KYGLAS**
So what are you gonna do?
**[02:46] KYGLAS**
Are you going or not?
**[02:51] RUD**
Let me do it.
**[02:59] RUD**
I'm going to borrow Lilia and the others.
**[03:03] KYGLAS**
Rud.
**[03:05] KYGLAS**
I'm sorry for everything.
**[03:09] KYGLAS**
Don't get yourself killed.
**[03:13] RUD**
Thanks.
**[03:15] RUD**
I promise I'll defeat that guardian.

**[04:51] NIN**
I can't believe Kyglas apologized.
Anyway, we've got a full party now.
**[04:56] RUD**
Yeah.
**[04:57] RUD**
Let's begin our raid of Avancia's labyrinth.
**[05:14] LUNA**
What is this?
**[05:15] NIN**
It teleports us to the first floor.
**[05:18] NIN**
Okay, here we go.
**[05:31] LUNA**
I can't believe this huge area
was inside that entrance.
**[05:36] LUNA**
There's even a sun.
**[05:37] RUD**
That sun doesn't move.
**[05:40] RUD**
So don't let it throw off your sense of time.
**[05:42] LUNA**
Wow.
**[05:43] RUD**
The space inside a labyrinth is warped.
**[05:46] RUD**
Things that are impossible outside
happen in here like they're nothing.
**[05:51] LUNA**
The magic circle disappeared.
**[05:53] LUNA**
So we can't use it to get back out?
**[05:55] RUD**
Right. In order to exit this place,
we have to find another magic circle.
**[06:01] SIGN**
Teach Me!
**[06:01] SIGN**
Ms. Nin
**[06:01] NIN**
Don't worry, though.
**[06:02] NIN**
Lily has a skill called "Dungeon Walk."
**[06:06] NIN**
Normally, you need to find randomly placed
magic circles to travel between floors,
**[06:13] SIGN**
Dungeon
**[06:13] SIGN**
Walk
**[06:13] NIN**
but with Dungeon Walk, you can travel
to and from floors you've already visited.
**[06:18] LUNA**
I see.
**[06:19] NIN**
Generally, up to six people can
benefit from the effects of a skill,
**[06:23] NIN**
so only six people can
be teleported in this way.
**[06:27] RUD**
There's another spell
similar to Dungeon Walk.
**[06:29] RUD**
Nin, show her.
**[06:31] NIN**
Got it.
**[06:35] NIN**
It's an emergency escape spell.
**[06:37] LUNA**
Let me try.
**[06:38] NIN**
What?
**[06:42] NIN**
I can't believe you learned it so quickly.
**[06:44] SUGOL**
Wow.
**[06:45] BOTH**
Yeah.
**[06:47] RUD/ID**
* That was probably*
* a combat homunculus ability.*
**[06:53] LILY**
There are three chameleon
kongs heading this way.
**[07:00] RUD**
Lilia and Sugol, you're at the front.
**[07:02] RUD**
Nin and Lily, you're at the back.
You're on support and healing.
**[07:06] RUD**
Luna, position yourself
where you can protect everyone.
**[07:09] RUD**
As usual, I'll be the group's shield.
**[07:13] RUD**
Provoke.
**[07:37] RUD**
Keep it up! We'll take them down!
**[07:39] ALL**
Got it.
**[07:42] MARIUS**
Oh?
**[07:44] MARIUS**
Not bad.
**[07:53] LILIA**
This is where we met the guardian last time.
**[07:57] LILIA**
He's not here.
**[08:00] RUD**
Fieldasaurus.
**[08:03] RUD/ID**
* They're faster than the usual ones you get*
* in labyrinths. Is it the guardian's doing?*
**[08:09] RUD**
I'll handle these two.
**[08:12] RUD**
You guys find the magic circle.
**[08:14] NIN**
Got it.
**[08:15] RUD**
Provoke.
**[08:22] SUGOL**
Let's save some strength
to fight the guardian.
**[08:29] NIN**
I found the magic circle.
**[08:31] RUD**
Okay. Let's hurry on ahead!
**[08:34] MARIUS**
A wise decision.
**[08:39] MARIUS**
Seventh floor.
**[08:41] MARIUS**
Eighth floor.
**[08:44] MARIUS**
Ninth floor.
**[08:47] MARIUS**
Come to me soon.
**[08:53] NIN**
The next floor is the tenth at last.
**[08:58] RUD**
You guys.
**[09:01] RUD**
Thank you for accommodating
my selfish goals.
**[09:05] NIN**
Where did *that* come from?
**[09:07] LILIA**
Don't worry about it.
**[09:10] LILIA**
It's for your sister, right?
**[09:12] LILIA**
We understand how important family is.
**[09:15] SUGOL**
Yeah.
**[09:16] NIN**
That's right.
**[09:18] NIN**
And you shouldn't be thanking us just yet.
**[09:23] NIN**
Rud.
**[09:28] NIN**
The true test is still to come.
**[09:33] RUD**
I know.
**[09:43] RUD**
Let's defeat the guardian together.
**[09:50] NIN**
It's a grassy field.
**[09:54] MARIUS**
You have fought impressively.
**[09:58] RUD/ID**
*So this is the guy.*
**[10:00] MARIUS**
I never expected such
powerful adventurers to come here.
**[10:05] RUD/ID**
*The sentient guardian.*
**[10:08] MARIUS**
Welcome to my labyrinth.
**[10:14] MARIUS**
I am this labyrinth's guardian...
**[10:19] MARIUS**
Marius.
**[10:26] RUD**
I heard the guardian was
previously found on the fifth floor.
**[10:29] MARIUS**
Given how strong you are,
**[10:32] MARIUS**
I thought I'd wait on the tenth floor
so I wouldn't have to hold back.
**[10:38] MARIUS**
This floor is my domain.
**[10:41] MARIUS**
Well, you'll see soon enough
what my full strength looks like.
**[10:51] RUD**
How's he so strong? It feels like
my arms are about to be torn off.
**[10:55] MARIUS**
I'm impressed you blocked that.
**[10:57] MARIUS**
You were worth the wait.
**[10:59] RUD**
Marius.
**[11:00] RUD**
I didn't come here to fight. We can talk—
**[11:04] MARIUS**
A clash of blades.
**[11:07] MARIUS**
That is how men converse with one another.
**[11:12] RUD/ID**
*If I let my guard down, he'll kill me.*
**[11:15] RUD**
We'll negotiate afterwards.
**[11:17] RUD**
Let's fight.
**[11:18] NIN**
Here we go.
**[11:20] MARIUS**
*Oh? Not bad.*
**[11:31] NIN**
What's this guy's deal?
Does he have eyes on his back?
**[11:34] MARIUS**
Your coordination is impressive.
**[11:36] MARIUS**
It seems I'll have to fight
at full strength after all.
**[11:40] MARIUS**
And when I do, I become a true monster.
**[11:44] MARIUS**
If you don't want to die,
you should use your skills to flee.
**[11:48] MARIUS**
Do you really think you can defeat me?
**[12:00] NIN**
What the heck is this guy?
**[12:02] RUD/ID**
* I can tell from his roar alone*
* just how dangerous he is.*
**[12:06] RUD/ID**
*But...*
**[12:07] RUD/ID**
*I can't turn back.*
**[12:12] RUD/ID**
*I have to win.*
**[12:15] RUD**
His attacks are so powerful.
**[12:22] LILY**
Sister, ride my wind.
**[12:24] LILIA**
Got it.
**[12:30] SUGOL**
Mr. Rud, let's take turns
drawing the enemy's attention.
**[12:33] RUD**
Agreed.
**[12:34] SUGOL**
Magic: Provoke.
**[12:41] RUD/ID**
*I knew he was unusually strong.*
**[12:46] RUD/ID**
*But one more hit could kill me.*
**[12:50] RUD**
Don't let him hit you head-on.
**[12:52] SUGOL**
You're the only one who'd even try that.
**[12:56] RUD**
Nin, focus on healing.
**[12:59] RUD**
Lily, use support spells
to keep our front line up.
**[13:02] RUD**
Luna, assist us.
**[13:03] LUNA**
Understood.
**[13:05] RUD**
Sugol, let's switch.
**[13:07] RUD**
Provoke.
**[13:11] (Flashback) NIN**
We won't be able to avoid a long fight.
**[13:14] (Flashback) LUNA**
It'll be a battle of endurance.
Will we be all right?
**[13:18] (Flashback) LILIA**
Normally, we'd be at a
disadvantage, but we have Rud.
**[13:23] (Flashback) LILIA**
Rud's Shield of Sacrifice
focuses all of our damage onto him.
**[13:28] (Flashback) LILIA**
Life Exchange will turn the absorb shield
**[13:30] (Flashback) LILIA**
he loses over a long fight
into incredible strength.
**[13:34] (Flashback) LILIA**
We have to stay alive during the long battle
and put all our trust into his one attack.
**[13:47] LUNA**
Ms. Lilia!
**[13:48] LUNA**
At this rate, someone will fall eventually.
**[13:52] NIN**
Luna.
**[13:53] NIN**
I know it's hard being in the
back and having to watch.
**[13:57] NIN**
But as long as we stay standing,
the front line will be fine.
**[14:01] NIN**
So remember this.
**[14:03] NIN**
It's up to us to be patient and endure this.
**[14:11] LUNA**
Got it.
**[14:17] RUD/ID**
*His movements are slowing.*
**[14:19] RUD/ID**
*Is he getting tired?*
**[14:23] RUD/ID**
*My absorb shield has been depleted by 30,000.*
**[14:26] RUD/ID**
*If I hit him with this...*
**[14:31] LUNA**
Master.
**[14:34] RUD**
Luna.
**[14:35] RUD/ID**
*I won't miss this opportunity.*
**[14:37] RUD/ID**
*I'll hit him with this attack.*
**[14:38] RUD**
Life Conversion!
**[14:48] LUNA**
Did we win?
**[14:53] NIN**
You're kidding, right? He can still move?
**[14:58] RUD/ID**
*My attack was effective.*
**[15:00] RUD/ID**
*If I hit him with another Life Conversion...*
**[15:22] RUD**
Are you guys okay?
**[15:24] LILIA**
We're fine.
**[15:26] LILIA**
Lily!
**[15:28] LILIA**
Are you okay?
**[15:30] LILY**
I'll recover from this right away.
**[15:38] RUD**
Sugol!
**[15:40] SUGOL**
I-I'm fine.
**[15:43] SUGOL**
I can... keep fighting.
**[15:53] RUD/ID**
* Am I willing to expose the others*
* to danger for my goals?*
**[15:59] RUD/ID**
*I don't want to risk their lives for my sake.*
**[16:07] RUD**
Retreat.
**[16:09] RUD**
Prepare to leave.
**[16:11] NIN**
What are you—
**[16:12] RUD**
I'm the leader of this party.
**[16:14] RUD**
I have to make the right choice.
**[16:19] NIN**
Rud!
**[16:21] NIN**
You're giving up on your dream
after making it this far?
**[16:24] RUD**
Nin?
**[16:25] NIN**
I told you to do what you wanted to do.
**[16:29] SUGOL**
Mr. Rud, please don't underestimate me.
**[16:32] SUGOL**
You gave the order to retreat
after looking at me, right?
**[16:35] SUGOL**
I'm still here.
I'm prepared to fight to the death.
**[16:40] NIN**
Rud.
**[16:41] NIN**
We can't run.
**[16:43] NIN**
Don't say something so pathetic!
**[16:50] RUD**
I...
**[16:56] RUD**
I want to save Manicia, so...
**[17:00] RUD**
Please.
**[17:01] BOTH**
Skill: Fusion.
**[17:11] LILIALY**
Fusion complete: Lilialy.
**[17:15] RUD**
Lilialy.
**[17:16] LILIALY**
Let me handle this.
**[17:22] RUD/ID**
*Lilialy.*
**[17:24] RUD/ID**
*Sugol.*
**[17:27] RUD/ID**
*Luna. Nin.*
**[17:30] RUD/ID**
*This time...*
**[17:32] NIN**
Sugol's absorb shield has been broken!
**[17:35] RUD**
Life Conversion!
**[17:43] RUD/ID**
* If that attack hits me,*
* my shield will break.*
**[17:48] RUD/ID**
*But I'll take it.*
**[17:50] RUD/ID**
* I'll turn this last damage*
* I take into strength.*
**[17:54] ALL**
Go!
**[17:57] RUD**
Life Conversion!
**[18:24] MARIUS**
That was fun, Rud.
**[18:27] MARIUS**
I doubt I can move anymore.
**[18:30] MARIUS**
You're free to do as you wish.
**[18:33] RUD**
What?
**[18:34] RUD**
It's over?
**[18:36] MARIUS**
I suppose so, yes.
**[18:38] MARIUS**
But it won't truly be over
until you finish me off.
**[18:43] RUD**
I told you, I came here to talk.
**[18:47] RUD**
Marius.
**[18:49] RUD**
Do you have the Secret Treasure of the
Labyrinth that is said to grant any wish?
**[18:54] MARIUS**
Is this what you want?
**[18:57] MARIUS**
Here.
**[18:58] MARIUS**
That magic stone is capable of miracles.
**[19:01] MARIUS**
Infuse it with mana and make your wish.
**[19:04] MARIUS**
Once used, it will shatter, so use it well.
**[19:09] MARIUS**
That's all you wanted, right? Now finish me.
**[19:12] RUD**
Actually, I'd like to avoid destroying the
labyrinth if I can. There's a town nearby.
**[19:17] RUD**
So...
**[19:20] RUD**
Marius, I'd like you to continue
ruling this labyrinth as its guardian.
**[19:29] MARIUS**
In other words, you want to work together?
**[19:32] MARIUS**
I like fighting strong opponents.
**[19:35] MARIUS**
So I'd be glad to help out.
**[19:39] MARIUS**
Plus, I'd like a rematch against you someday.
**[19:41] RUD**
Uh...
**[19:43] RUD**
Actually, I'd rather we didn't.
**[19:52] MANICIA**
Brother, you're a mess.
**[19:55] RUD**
I'm fine. More importantly, take this.
**[19:59] RUD**
It's for you.
**[20:01] MANICIA**
What is this?
**[20:02] RUD**
It's the magic stone I've been searching for.
**[20:05] MANICIA**
I can't accept this.
**[20:07] MANICIA**
You should use it for yourself.
**[20:10] RUD**
Even then, I'd use it for the same thing.
**[20:16] RUD**
So take it, okay?
**[20:22] MANICIA**
Brother...
**[20:25] MANICIA**
Very well.
**[20:29] MANICIA**
Magic stone of miracles.
**[20:34] MANICIA**
Please grant me my greatest wish.
**[20:45] RUD**
Notice any changes?
**[20:48] RUD**
Manicia?
**[20:49] MANICIA**
I feel like I have a bit more energy.
**[20:52] MANICIA**
Before, I'd quickly grow short of breath
if I moved around like this.
**[20:58] MANICIA**
But now, I feel like I could spin forever.
**[21:06] RUD/ID**
*I've never seen Manicia like this before.*
**[21:10] RUD/ID**
* If I keep adventuring, I'll surely be able*
* to cure her completely someday.*
**[21:15] MANICIA**
Brother.
**[21:17] RUD/ID**
*I thought she might die someday, but now...*
**[21:23] RUD/ID**
*She's fine.*
**[21:26] RUD/ID**
* Everything I've done up until now*
* hasn't been in vain.*
**[21:33] MANICIA**
Brother, thank you.
**[23:11] MARIUS**
Rud.
**[23:12] RUD**
Marius? What is it?
**[23:15] MARIUS**
Congratulations.
**[23:17] MARIUS**
As of today, you're the
guardian of the labyrinth.
**[23:21] RUD**
Come again?

**[00:00] ADVENTURER MAN A**
I'm gonna hunt down all the fieldasaurus!
**[00:02] RUD/ID**
*This town has transformed considerably.*
**[00:03] ADVENTURER MAN B**
No, I will.
**[00:05] ADVENTURER WOMAN A**
Their raw materials are mine.
**[00:08] RUD**
I'll have to mediate fights again.
**[00:11] BOO**
Hey, Rud.
**[00:13] GURLY**
You're looking pale.
**[00:15] RUD**
Boo. Gurly.
**[00:17] BOO**
It must be tough having to deal with this
right after becoming clan leader.
**[00:21] GURLY**
Shouldn't you get someone
to help you run things?
**[00:24] RUD**
Yeah. I've actually got a request
for you two regarding that.
**[00:31] NIN**
Welcome back. Was there another fight?
**[00:34] RUD**
Yeah.
**[00:35] NIN**
You can get good materials from
fieldasaurus to use in potions and weapons.
**[00:40] NIN**
It's no wonder everyone flocks to them.
**[00:43] NIN**
We'll need to recruit people to
help us manage the clan after all.
**[00:48] RUD**
You're right.
**[00:50] RUD**
Manicia is handling the office work,
but I can't push her too hard.
**[00:55] RUD**
I tried asking Lilia, but...
**[00:58] (Flashback) LILIA**
Sorry, but I don't know enough
to teach someone else.
**[01:02] (Flashback) LILIA**
Why not try to cooperate with other clans?
**[01:04] (Flashback) RUD**
Cooperate, huh?
**[01:06] (Flashback) LILIA**
It'd be best if you could form an alliance.
**[01:11] (Flashback) LILIA**
In this case, you'd want an equal alliance.
**[01:13] (Flashback) LILIA**
If you have to answer to them, it'd defeat the
point of establishing a new clan in this town.
**[01:18] SIGN**
Equal Alliance
**[01:18] SIGN**
Clan Leader A
**[01:18] SIGN**
Clan Leader B
**[01:18] SIGN**
Subordinate Relationship
**[01:19] (Flashback) LILIA**
But they're not likely to agree to that
unless you offer them something beneficial.
**[01:20] SIGN**
Clan Leader A
**[01:20] SIGN**
Clan leader B
**[01:24] (Flashback) RUD**
Right.
**[01:25] (Flashback) RUD**
After all, our clan only consists
of Nin, Luna, Manicia, and me.
**[01:29] (Flashback) LILIA**
If only you had something
to offer right away...
**[01:36] (Flashback) BOTH**
Lily?
**[01:37] NIN**
Something we can offer right away, huh?
**[01:42] RUD**
All we have to offer is combat strength.
**[01:45] RUD**
But all I've told people is
that we drove off the guardian,
**[01:50] RUD**
in part, so we can protect Marius.
**[01:52] NIN**
Right.
**[01:53] RUD**
Which means we need someone
to help manage the clan.
**[01:59] RUD**
I've been doing what I can
since I spoke with Lilia.
**[02:05] NIN**
I knew you'd make a good clan leader.
**[02:08] NIN**
At this rate, we might become
a big clan sooner than we expect.
**[02:12] RUD**
Why do you sound so disappointed?
**[02:15] NIN**
Because if that happens...
**[02:19] NIN**
We'll have less alone time.
**[02:33] NIN**
Rud.
**[02:36] NIN**
If we struggle to find people
to help us manage the clan,
**[02:41] NIN**
you can use me to help promote it.
**[02:45] RUD**
I can't do that. You wouldn't like it.
**[02:49] NIN**
Rud, you're so...
**[02:53] MARIUS**
Rud, I want you to manage the labyrinth.
**[02:56] MARIUS**
Huh? What are you two up to?
**[02:57] RUD**
Nothing.
**[02:59] RUD**
I told you, I'm not doing that.
I'm busy right now.
**[03:03] MARIUS**
Then, I'll become a clan member
and stop fights.
**[03:07] RUD**
That's not the only thing I'm busy with.
**[03:09] RUD**
Anyway, should a labyrinth guardian
be wandering around so much?
**[03:12] MARIUS**
It's not an issue.
**[03:13] RUD**
So you don't have a grudge
against humans or anything like that?
**[03:19] MARIUS**
Are you really asking me that?
**[03:21] RUD**
I knew it.
**[03:22] NIN**
So there *is* something.
**[03:25] MARIUS**
Nope, nothing at all.
**[03:27] MARIUS**
So let me help you while
you manage the labyrinth.
**[03:32] RUD**
Fine. I'll allow you to become a member.
**[03:35] RUD**
Tell me about managing a labyrinth.
**[03:39] MARIUS**
Sure thing. Let's get started.
**[03:44] RUD**
I never said I'd actually manage it...

**[05:20] MOB**
Shut up. I'm going in there.
**[05:22] MOB**
You're gonna take all my materials.
**[05:30] MARIUS**
In here, Rud.
**[05:34] RUD**
You manage the labyrinth from here?
**[05:35] MARIUS**
That's right.
**[05:38] MARIUS**
This lake displays the
interior of the labyrinth.
**[05:40] MARIUS**
You can use it to place monsters and
change the labyrinth's construction.
**[05:47] MARIUS**
That number at the top is your points.
**[05:49] MARIUS**
You can spend points to
create and replicate monsters.
**[05:54] RUD**
Do the points increase on their own?
**[05:57] MARIUS**
You gain points over time and by
depleting the absorb shields of adventurers.
**[06:04] RUD**
I see. So if my absorb shield suffered
massive damage, could I earn more points?
**[06:10] MARIUS**
Oh, hey, that's a good idea.
**[06:12] RUD**
Could you show me how it works?
**[06:14] MARIUS**
Sure.
**[06:16] RUD**
You're replicating a goblin?
**[06:18] MARIUS**
I'll summon one within the labyrinth.
**[06:24] RUD**
Hey, you'll chase off the adventurers.
**[06:28] RUD**
Can you replicate monsters
other than goblins?
**[06:31] MARIUS**
Yeah. The monsters we can
currently replicate are:
**[06:34] MARIUS**
goblins, axe orcs,
chameleon kongs, and fieldasaurus.
**[06:40] MARIUS**
Monsters can only be replicated
from originals you've created.
**[06:46] MARIUS**
If you build trust with the monsters,
they might help you in your time of need.
**[06:52] MARIUS**
They may even take a liking to you.
**[06:54] RUD**
Monsters can take a liking to people?
**[06:57] RUD**
Wait, this costs a *million* points?
We can't create that.
**[07:01] MARIUS**
Right. That's when you use
one of these grimoires.
**[07:05] MARIUS**
This allows you to create a monster
at random. It's like gacha.
**[07:10] MARIUS**
Wanna try?
**[07:18] SIGN**
Ta-
**[07:18] SIGN**
da!
**[07:19] RUD**
A slime?
**[07:19] SIGN**
Ta-
**[07:19] SIGN**
da!
**[07:20] SIGN**
Ta-
**[07:20] SIGN**
da!
**[07:20] SIGN**
Ta-
**[07:20] SIGN**
da!
**[07:23] MARIUS**
Not quite what I said earlier,
but it instantly took a liking to you.
**[07:27] RUD**
Does this mean we can replicate slimes now?
**[07:30] MARIUS**
Yeah.
**[07:31] RUD**
With enough time, we might
eventually get S-rank monsters.
**[07:38] RUD/ID**
* Most of the adventurers*
* come here for the fieldasaurus.*
**[07:43] RUD/ID**
*The labyrinth's lively right now,*
**[07:45] RUD/ID**
* but once the materials become*
* widely available, activity will die down.*
**[07:49] RUD/ID**
* This might allow us to spawn*
* a variety of monsters in the labyrinth,*
**[07:53] RUD/ID**
* and keep a steady number*
* of adventurers coming.*
**[07:57] RUD/ID**
*This will help me manage the clan, too.*
**[08:06] MARIUS**
We got 1,000 points from that.
**[08:09] MARIUS**
Hey, Rud. This might be a rare slime.
We got real lucky creating it.
**[08:16] RUD**
Thanks, slime. You gave me a great idea.
**[08:20] RUD**
Marius.
**[08:21] MARIUS**
Huh?
**[08:22] RUD**
I'll take over managing
the labyrinth from you.
**[08:26] MARIUS**
Huh? You mean it?
**[08:27] RUD**
I won't take the reins right away,
**[08:29] RUD**
but I'll think about what kind of labyrinth
we should make to attract more adventurers.
**[08:34] RUD**
So could I ask you to manage the
labyrinth for a little while longer?
**[08:37] MARIUS**
Fine with me.
**[08:40] RUD**
Wh-What should I do with this thing?
**[08:42] MARIUS**
It doesn't seem interested in me.
Why don't you take it with you?
**[08:49] MANICIA**
What? A slime?
**[08:51] RUD**
It's all right, Luna.
**[08:53] RUD**
I, uh, picked it up at the labyrinth.
**[08:56] RUD**
Manicia, didn't you say once
that you wanted a pet?
**[09:02] MANICIA**
It's cuter than the ones I've seen outside.
**[09:08] MANICIA**
It's adorable.
**[09:10] MANICIA**
Brother, if we're going to keep it
as a pet, won't it need a name?
**[09:15] RUD**
You're right.
**[09:17] LUNA**
Master, you settled on my name right away.
Did you not put much thought into it?
**[09:25] RUD**
O-Of course I did. I chose something
cute after giving it a lot of thought.
**[09:30] MANICIA**
You chose that name because there was a
lunafia petal on your clothes, right?
**[09:34] MANICIA**
You chose it pretty quickly, huh?
**[09:37] RUD**
I-I know. How about Lime?
**[09:41] MANICIA**
It seems to like it.
**[09:43] RUD**
Great. Nice to meet you, Lime.
**[09:48] MANICIA**
I like how you look when you're distressed.
**[09:51] LUNA**
Same here.
**[09:53] RUD**
Give me a break.
**[10:01] GOSH**
The clan leader of Avancia?
**[10:04] IKE**
Why would we ally with
a backwater clan like his?
**[10:07] IKE**
Boo, reject his request.
**[10:09] GOSH**
No, wait.
**[10:14] LUTEL**
He seems like an interesting kid.
**[10:16] LUTEL**
Very well. The two great clans
will be holding our ball soon.
**[10:20] BOTH**
Send him an invitation.
**[10:20] BOTH**
Send him an invitation.
**[10:26] RUD/ID**
* Several days later,*
* we arrived in the town of Keild.*
**[10:29] LUNA**
Wow.
**[10:30] NIN**
This town is bigger than I imagined.
**[10:34] RUD**
Lilia and Lily, thanks for coming with us.
**[10:36] LILIA**
No problem. It gives us a chance
to say hello to our guild, too.
**[10:40] LILY**
I've never attended a ball before.
**[10:43] LILY**
Isn't it exciting, Sister?
**[10:46] MARIUS**
Rud, what are those flags for?
**[10:49] RUD**
As you can see, they're the flags of the
Black Dragon Fang and White Tiger Claw.
**[10:54] MARIUS**
Huh...
**[10:55] MARIUS**
They both look pretty sharp.
**[11:00] RUD**
Looks like everyone's here.
**[11:02] RUD**
Take a look at these.
**[11:05] RUD**
They're invitations to a ball
that's being held
**[11:07] RUD**
by the two major clans in Keild,
the Black Dragon Fang and White Tiger Claw.
**[11:11] MANICIA**
That's incredible, dear brother.
**[11:13] LUNA**
I'm not sure I understand,
but I'm impressed, master.
**[11:16] NIN**
This isn't just an invitation for our
clans to work nicely together, is it?
**[11:21] NIN**
What's the catch?
**[11:24] RUD**
As you surmised, they've rejected
our request to form an alliance.
**[11:28] RUD**
They said they'd consider it
if we served under them.
**[11:31] NIN**
I knew it.
**[11:32] RUD**
But that's not the only problem.
**[11:36] RUD**
They demanded Nin
in exchange for their cooperation.
**[11:40] MARIUS**
They want Nin?
**[11:41] RUD**
Nin is famous as a saint.
**[11:43] RUD**
I've tried reaching out
to some other clans, too,
**[11:47] RUD**
and most of them were keenly aware of Nin.
**[11:50] NIN**
I guess that means I'm popular.
**[11:53] NIN**
So what are you going to do?
**[11:56] NIN**
Will you trade me to them?
**[11:59] RUD**
If you want to go, I won't stop you.
**[12:01] NIN**
And what if I asked you to
stop me, no matter what?
**[12:04] RUD**
I'd stop you, of course.
**[12:11] NIN**
Then, don't let me go. I don't intend
to be part of any clan except this one.
**[12:16] RUD**
Got it. I'll reject that condition,
no matter what.
**[12:23] RUD**
But I do plan to attend the ball in the
knowledge that I'll be in enemy territory.
**[12:28] RUD**
Most of the guests will likely be affiliated with
the Black Dragon Fang or White Tiger Claw.
**[12:33] RUD**
But I can't pass up this chance to speak directly
to representatives of the two major clans.
**[12:39] NIN**
You're right. You can't back out of this.
**[12:42] MARIUS**
Hm, you're going to Keild, huh?
**[12:44] MARIUS**
Keild... Keild...
**[12:46] RUD**
What is it?
**[12:47] MARIUS**
Oh, it's not all that important,
**[12:50] MARIUS**
but in my lake, I saw another labyrinth
with a sentient guardian like me.
**[12:55] MARIUS**
It's called the Keild Labyrinth,
like the town.
**[13:02] RUD**
That's *really* important!
**[13:04] MARIUS**
Oh, is it?
**[13:06] RUD/ID**
* If I raid the Keild Labyrinth and*
* acquire another one of those magic stones,*
**[13:12] RUD/ID**
* I might be able to*
* completely cure Manicia's illness.*
**[13:15] NIN**
The Keild Labyrinth...
**[13:17] NIN**
I've heard even the two major clans
have only made it to the 50th floor.
**[13:23] RUD**
But we've grown from before.
**[13:26] RUD**
We've got Marius's more
than satisfactory firepower.
**[13:29] RUD**
Luna's been practicing
magic in her spare time.
**[13:32] RUD**
And Nin is an exceptional healer.
**[13:35] RUD**
We'll make a good party.
**[13:37] NIN**
So we'll be raiding a labyrinth
and asking the clans for help.
**[13:40] NIN**
Sounds like this will be a fun trip.
**[13:43] RUD/ID**
*I doubt either will be easy.*
**[13:46] RUD/ID**
* But I'll do whatever it takes*
* to form an alliance*
**[13:49] RUD/ID**
* and acquire the Secret*
* Treasure of the Labyrinth.*
**[13:57] NIN**
Thanks for waiting.
**[13:59] NIN**
Well? I look pretty good, don't I?
**[14:03] RUD**
Yeah, you do.
**[14:05] NIN**
I suggested Luna wear a dress, too, but...
**[14:07] LUNA**
I-I thought this would be better.
**[14:15] RUD**
I'm sure you'd look good in a dress,
but that maid outfit looks great on you, too.
**[14:19] LUNA**
Th-Thank you.
**[14:22] LILY**
C'mon, sis, don't be shy.
**[14:26] LILIA**
I don't really like girly clothes like these.
**[14:30] LILY**
It's fine. You look cute.
**[14:37] LILA**
Stop staring at me.
**[14:39] NIN**
You're going red.
**[14:40] LILIA**
I said stop!
**[14:42] LUNA**
How extravagant.
**[14:44] NIN**
All of this belongs to the
Black Dragon Fang. Surprising, isn't it?
**[14:49] LILIA**
Apparently, the White Tiger Claw
owns a similar building.
**[14:53] RUD**
It's no wonder they reign
over the other clans.
**[15:00] GUEST A**
Isn't that the Lady Saint?
**[15:02] GUEST B**
You're right. What's she
doing at the clan ball?
**[15:05] GUEST C**
Don't you know?
**[15:06] GUEST C**
Apparently, her clan's going to join ours.
**[15:12] RUD**
What are they talking about?
**[15:13] RUD**
They make it sound like
you represent our clan, too.
**[15:17] NIN**
Don't let them underestimate you, leader.
**[15:20] NIN**
We're going to change
their opinion of us today.
**[15:23] RUD**
I intend to take care of that, but...
**[15:26] RUD/ID**
* I expected it,*
* but I feel uncomfortable here.*
**[15:30] MARIUS**
Hey, Rud.
**[15:31] MARIUS**
Am I allowed to eat that food over there?
**[15:34] RUD**
Uh, yeah.
**[15:35] MARIUS**
Really?
**[15:37] NIN**
Having Marius around really
diffuses the tension, doesn't it?
**[15:40] RUD**
Yeah. Should we get something to eat, too?
**[15:48] IKE**
Thank you all for coming today.
**[15:51] IKE**
I am Ike, sub-leader of
the Black Dragon Claw.
**[15:54] CYNTHIA**
And I am Cynthia,
sub-leader of the White Tiger Claw.
**[15:58] RUD/ID**
* I thought their leaders*
* would be greeting the guests.*
**[16:02] IKE**
Today, we've invited a special guest.
**[16:06] IKE**
Lady Saint.
**[16:08] IKE**
Could you come up here, please?
**[16:13] NIN**
Rud, they're inviting me to go up there,
**[16:17] NIN**
but I'm a member of your clan.
**[16:20] RUD**
You're right.
**[16:23] RUD**
I'm going to go complain.
Will you come with me?
**[16:27] NIN**
Sure.
**[16:31] IKE**
Lady Saint, I never thought
you'd actually become an adventurer.
**[16:36] NIN**
No? I've actually been wanting
to focus on adventuring for a while.
**[16:41] IKE**
And who is this?
**[16:44] GUEST D**
Who's that guy?
**[16:45] GUEST E**
He's awfully friendly with the Lady Saint.
**[16:47] NIN**
He's—
**[16:48] RUD**
It is nice to meet you.
**[16:50] RUD**
I am the leader of Nin's clan, Rud.
**[16:53] IKE**
Ah, yes. Weren't you a
member of the hero's party?
**[16:59] IKE**
I believe you were their tank, correct?
**[17:03] IKE**
Didn't the former hero call you useless?
**[17:08] IKE**
On several occasions, he asked
for my advice on party composition.
**[17:12] IKE**
I suggested he kick his tank.
**[17:20] IKE**
I mean, you don't need
a tank to raid labyrinths.
**[17:24] RUD**
You don't need a tank?
**[17:26] IKE**
No. After all, tanks *say* they're protecting
their party members while doing nothing.
**[17:32] GUEST A**
He's right.
**[17:32] GUEST B**
Attackers can handle the tank role.
**[17:33] GUEST C**
Evasion tanks are better anyway.
**[17:36] IKE**
Allow me to be direct.
**[17:38] IKE**
Lady Nin, will you join our clan?
**[17:41] IKE**
Your talents are wasted
in a nameless clan like—
**[17:44] CYNTHIA**
Wait a minute.
**[17:46] CYNTHIA**
We've also been wanting a talented healer
to help us raid the Keild Labyrinth.
**[17:50] RUD**
Enough.
**[17:52] RUD**
I'm not letting either of you have Nin.
**[17:55] IKE**
Mr. Rud, you wanted an advisor
for your clan, didn't you?
**[18:00] RUD**
But you want Nin in exchange for one, right?
**[18:04] RUD**
I'm sorry, but Nin is a valued friend.
**[18:07] RUD**
I'm not trading her.
**[18:10] IKE**
Then, why did you come here?
**[18:12] RUD**
To form an alliance.
**[18:13] GUEST A**
An alliance? With our major clans?
**[18:16] GUEST B**
Isn't his clan a small backwater one?
**[18:18] GUEST C**
He's merely a tank, too.
**[18:21] GUEST D**
What a joke.
**[18:23] IKE**
I can't trust a clan led by a tank.
**[18:27] IKE**
Lady Nin, are you sure he's the one you want?
**[18:32] NIN**
Yes, of course.
**[18:38] NIN**
He's the world's strongest tank!
**[18:45] RUD**
May I borrow that?
**[18:49] RUD**
We came here to raid the Keild Labyrinth.
**[18:54] RUD**
We are stronger than anyone here.
**[18:56] RUD**
Laugh if you want.
**[18:58] RUD**
But anyone who does will regret it.
**[19:02] RUD**
I'll prove your expectations wrong.
**[19:05] RUD**
We will reach the 51st floor
and below of the Keild Labyrinth
**[19:10] RUD**
that not even the
two major clans could clear.
**[19:16] GOSH**
Well, well. You're a spirited young man.
**[19:20] GOSH**
I love guys like you.
**[19:23] IKE**
L-Leader! You came to the ball?
**[19:27] GOSH**
Yeah.
**[19:28] GOSH**
Ike, don't underestimate the newbies
too much. It's a bad habit of yours.
**[19:33] IKE**
But, sir...
**[19:34] GOSH**
Rud, was it?
**[19:37] GOSH**
I am Gosh, leader of the Black Dragon Fang.
**[19:41] GOSH**
Nice to meet you.
**[19:42] RUD**
Likewise.
**[19:45] RUD/ID**
*I can tell from his handshake.*
**[19:47] RUD/ID**
*He's incredibly powerful.*
**[19:50] RUD/ID**
* So this is the leader of*
* the Black Dragon Fang?*
**[19:54] GOSH**
If he thinks he can raid the labyrinth,
**[19:57] GOSH**
then I'm willing to consider
an alliance with him.
**[20:00] GOSH**
Go on, say something.
**[20:03] LUTEL**
Jeez. I was planning
to stay out of the spotlight.
**[20:07] GOSH**
Don't be like that, Ms. Lutel,
leader of the White Tiger Claw.
**[20:11] LUTEL**
I'd also be willing to consider
an alliance with a clan
**[20:15] LUTEL**
that says they can conquer the labyrinth.
**[20:19] LUTEL**
If they manage it, that is.
**[20:23] GOSH**
Well, you heard her, Rud.
**[20:26] GOSH**
I hope you're not all bark and no bite.
**[20:30] MARIUS**
That was a splendid declaration.
**[20:33] RUD**
Don't remind me.
**[20:35] MARIUS**
Anyway, why doesn't everyone
respect your strength?
**[20:39] RUD**
Because you typically can't tell how strong
someone is just by looking at them.
**[20:42] MARIUS**
But anyone strong enough should be able
to recognize that you're exceptional.
**[20:48] MARIUS**
Rud, we're gonna conquer that labyrinth.
**[20:51] MARIUS**
I won't let their mockery of you stand.
**[20:55] MARIUS**
I'm gonna go take a bath!
**[20:58] RUD**
Try not to bother anyone.
**[21:00] MARIUS**
Yeah, yeah, I know.
**[21:03] LUNA**
Master.
**[21:05] NIN**
You look tired.
**[21:08] RUD**
It's not often that I speak
in front of so many people.
**[21:12] LUNA**
But your words were incredible.
I'm glad you said all that.
**[21:17] NIN**
You're right. And, um...
**[21:21] NIN**
Th-Thanks for protecting me like that.
**[21:26] NIN**
It made me really happy.
**[21:27] RUD**
Of course. You're a valued friend, after all.
**[21:32] NIN**
A-Anyway, I just wanted to say that.
**[21:35] NIN**
I'll see you tomorrow.
**[21:37] RUD**
Okay.
**[21:39] RUD/ID**
* Not even the two major clans*
* could clear the labyrinth.*
**[21:43] RUD/ID**
* I doubt it'll be easy, but in order*
* to protect my clan and my friends...*
**[21:48] RUD/ID**
*I will conquer the Keild Labyrinth.*

A Tank with a Rare 9,999 Resistance Skill
Got Kicked from the Hero's Party
**[02:04] LILY**
I can't tie the strings in the back!
Please help me!
**[02:13] RUD**
There. All done.
**[02:17] LILY**
Thank you.
**[02:19] LILY**
Now I can surprise
my sister with some tea.
**[02:23] RUD**
I see. Well, I'd better head back.
**[02:25] LILY**
Wait.
**[02:27] LILY**
There's something I'd like to ask you, too.
**[02:32] LILY**
You're going to be a clan leader
from now on, aren't you?
**[02:39] RUD**
Yeah, that's right.
**[02:41] LILY**
I think it's amazing. I was impressed when
you stated your intentions at the ball, too.
**[02:46] LILY**
After all, I'm too weak to
tell anyone what I want to do.
**[02:52] RUD**
Is there something you want to do?
**[02:54] LILY**
Promise you won't laugh?
**[02:56] RUD**
Sure.
**[02:57] LILY**
It's not a grand goal like yours.
**[03:01] LILY**
I just don't want to impose
on my sister forever.
**[03:06] LILY**
I want to learn to support myself.
**[03:10] LILY**
When my sister's around,
I never have to worry about anything.
**[03:14] LILY**
I've been a fool since I was a child,
always making mistakes.
**[03:18] LILY**
But my sister always protected me.
**[03:21] LILY**
She's perfect and capable of anything.
**[03:25] LILY**
The same is true when we fight.
**[03:27] LILY**
All I'm ever able to do is
support her from behind.
**[03:31] RUD**
Isn't that because you're skilled at magic?
**[03:34] LILY**
My sister can use magic, too,
but she fights at close range.
**[03:38] LILY**
And when we fuse, my sister is
always the primary personality.
**[03:44] LILY**
I've never fought by myself before.
**[03:48] RUD**
Is that right? I always wondered
who was in charge of your shared body.
**[03:54] LILY**
But I can't impose on her forever.
**[03:57] LILY**
I want to take care of myself.
**[04:01] RUD/ID**
* I see. So that's why*
* she suddenly wanted to talk to me.*
**[04:06] RUD**
* She and her sis are close. I see why it'd be hard*
* to tell her she wants to be more independent.*
**[04:13] RUD**
Lily, you can cause me
all the trouble you want.
**[04:16] RUD**
Give what you want to do a shot.
**[04:20] LILY**
You mean it?
**[04:22] LILY**
Then, I'll ask for your help the next time I—
**[04:29] LILIA**
Lily, I thought I heard Rud's voice.
**[04:36] LILY**
Oh, sis.
**[04:39] LILIA**
Rud?
**[04:40] RUD**
No, Lilia!
**[04:41] RUD**
It's not what it looks like!
It was an accident!
**[04:47] LILIA**
Could you come up to the roof with me?
**[04:55] RUD/ID**
*Is she going to push me off?*
**[04:57] LILIA**
Why are you being so cautious?
**[05:00] LILIA**
It's fine. If it was anyone else,
I would've pushed them off, though.
**[05:05] LILIA**
After all, you'd never do anything to hurt
someone's precious younger sister.
**[05:12] LILIA**
I was half-pretending just then,
so that I could get you up here.
**[05:20] LILIA**
Have I ever told you about us?
**[05:24] RUD**
You mentioned your parents
abandoned you and now you live together.
**[05:29] LILIA**
Actually, it'd be more accurate to say
we were being abused by them and ran away.
**[05:37] LILIA**
Our father was especially cruel.
**[05:40] LILIA**
So even if that was an accident,
**[05:43] LILIA**
it's not often that she can have
a normal conversation with a man.
**[05:49] LILIA**
That's part of the reason
I wanted to talk to you, too.
**[05:54] LILIA**
Someday, I'd like to take Lily to a place
where she can truly be happy.
**[06:01] LILIA**
I've decided to keep her safe until then.
**[06:06] RUD**
I see. Sounds like you two
really love each other.
**[06:11] RUD**
Lily said you were "perfect"
and "capable of anything."
**[06:15] LILIA**
I'm not, though.
**[06:18] RUD**
That's right. I don't think
you're perfect, either.
**[06:23] RUD**
When it comes to your sister,
you lose your cool.
**[06:27] RUD**
You become a different person.
**[06:30] LILIA**
You're the last person
I want to hear that from.
**[06:39] LILIA**
Thanks for listening.
**[06:42] RUD**
You're a dear friend.
You can talk to me about anything.
**[06:47] LILIA**
Thanks. If something comes up, I will.
**[06:55] LILY**
When's my sister coming back?
**[07:01] RUD**
Lilia and Lily, were you waiting long?
**[07:04] LILIA**
It's all good.
**[07:05] LILY**
I just made it back from the 49th floor.

No problem. I chose not to go to the 50th floor
so we could gauge monster frequency.
**[07:29] LILIA**
I've been gathering
a lot of information, too.
**[07:32] LILIA**
First, I looked into the party compositions
the two major clans used on their raids.
**[07:36] LILIA**
The Black Dragon Fang took
four attackers, including their leader,
**[07:40] LILIA**
and two healers for support.
**[07:43] LILIA**
The White Tiger Claw took
four magic attackers and two healers.
**[07:47] LILIA**
In other words, both clans
used speed-focused compositions.
**[07:50] RUD**
So their attackers functioned as tanks, huh?
**[07:53] LILIA**
Also, every floor has a lot of monsters
that inflict status effects.
**[07:57] SIGN**
Healthy Body
**[07:57] SIGN**
Numbness
**[07:57] SIGN**
Poison
**[07:57] SIGN**
Paralysis
**[07:58] RUD**
In that case, my Healthy Body skill
should be able to nullify all that.
**[08:02] NIN**
It sounds like a challenging labyrinth.
**[08:05] NIN**
But we have to do whatever it takes
to clear at least the 51st floor,
**[08:08] NIN**
and form an alliance
with the two major clans.
**[08:12] ALL**
Yeah!
**[08:15] RUD**
I'll lead. Marius, you bring up the rear.
**[08:18] MARIUS**
Sure.
**[08:20] RUD**
Luna, it's melee for you.
**[08:21] RUD**
Lilia, adapt to the situation like usual.
**[08:25] RUD**
Nin, you're on healing.
Be ready to accept commands from...
**[08:29] RUD**
Wh-What is it, Lily?
**[08:31] LILY**
Um...
**[08:32] LILY**
Could I issue commands during battle?
**[08:37] RUD/ID**
*She's already trying to change.*
**[08:41] RUD**
Okay. If anything, commands from the
back line will be easiest to understand.
**[08:46] RUD**
Lily, you're in charge. Nin, assist her.
**[08:49] NIN**
Got it.
**[08:50] NIN**
We're all counting on you, Lily.
**[08:53] LILY**
Right!
**[08:56] LILY**
Okay, here we go.
**[08:58] LILY**
Dungeon Walk.
**[09:04] RUD/ID**
* This space isn't suitable*
* for speed-focused fighters,*
**[09:08] RUD/ID**
*but it could be convenient for me as a tank.*
**[09:12] MARIUS**
There are monsters positioned nearby.
**[09:16] RUD**
You're right.
**[09:17] NIN**
Rud, you can tell, too?
**[09:18] RUD**
Yeah, more or less.
**[09:20] MARIUS**
That's because you're the manager
of the Avancia Labyrinth.
**[09:25] RUD**
What? Is that why?
**[09:27] MARIUS**
Either way, they've been
positioned effectively.
**[09:31] SIGN**
Adventurers
**[09:31] SIGN**
Spawn Point
**[09:31] MARIUS**
The left and right paths lead to the
same place, but monsters appear on both.
**[09:39] MARIUS**
So if you fight on the left path,
**[09:42] MARIUS**
the monsters on the right path
will come up behind you.
**[09:46] RUD**
Like a pincer movement.
**[09:48] MARIUS**
That's right. We might be
dealing with a tricky guardian.
**[09:58] RUD**
A poison lizard!
**[10:00] LILY**
There's a black owl on our right!
**[10:03] RUD**
Shield of Sacrifice!
**[10:05] RUD**
Provoke!
**[10:10] RUD**
A poisonous mist?
**[10:16] RUD**
Sorry.
**[10:20] RUD**
But I'm immune to status effects.
**[10:30] RUD**
*Did it use magic to block?*
**[10:47] LILY**
Another black owl!
**[10:50] LILY**
Rud.
**[10:51] LILY**
We could defeat them,
but there's no need for us to keep fighting.
**[10:55] RUD**
You're right.
**[10:56] RUD**
The rest of you go on ahead.
Let me handle this.
**[11:00] LUNA**
Right!
**[11:01] NIN**
This way, everyone.
**[11:04] RUD**
Flashing magic stone.
**[11:13] NIN**
You make a good commander, Lily.
**[11:16] LUNA**
Your orders were clear.
**[11:18] LILY**
I'll do my best after our break, too.
**[11:22] NIN**
By the way, I noticed earlier
that we can decide whether or not
**[11:26] NIN**
to let you absorb our damage
using your Shield of Sacrifice.
**[11:30] RUD**
What?
**[11:31] LUNA**
Yes, she's right.
**[11:32] NIN**
But we couldn't before.
**[11:35] MARIUS**
Maybe your skills were strengthened
by your battle against me.
**[11:39] RUD**
Maybe.
**[11:41] MARIUS**
Sweet! Then, you have me to thank for that.
**[11:43] NIN**
Now we can dispel the effect ourselves
when we don't want you to take our damage.
**[11:49] MARIUS**
Either way, your abilities are exceptional.
**[11:52] RUD**
What?
**[11:53] MARIUS**
Few tanks can perfectly draw
the attention of monsters.
**[11:58] LILY**
You're right.
**[11:59] NIN**
I thought most tanks could do that,
but I guess Rud is just amazing.
**[12:05] RUD**
I don't know what to say.
**[12:07] MARIUS**
It'd be great if you
learned the Self Heal skill.
**[12:12] RUD**
You're raising the bar again.
**[12:15] RUD**
Is there a skill like that?
**[12:17] MARIUS**
What's this? Humans don't know about it?
**[12:20] RUD**
"Humans"? Wait, you mean you're not human?
**[12:24] MARIUS**
What? Well, uh, no, I'm not.
**[12:27] RUD**
Come to think of it,
we don't know much about you.
**[12:30] NIN**
You're right.
**[12:31] LILY**
We once risked our lives fighting you,
**[12:34] LILY**
but now, you're not a threat to us at all.
**[12:37] LILIA**
We completely forgot to ask.
**[12:39] RUD**
Marius, could you tell us about yourself?
**[12:43] RUD**
You don't have to say
anything you don't want to.
**[12:49] MARIUS**
I'm not sure if you'll accept it, but...
**[12:54] MARIUS**
I'm...
**[12:56] MARIUS**
a demonoid.
**[13:02] RUD**
A demonoid?
**[13:04] MARIUS**
Yeah.
**[13:05] MARIUS**
Broadly speaking, the creatures of our world
are divided into humans and demihumans.
**[13:10] MARIUS**
Long ago, there were demonoids as well.
**[13:13] MARIUS**
Demonoids and demihumans look similar,
but those who swore loyalty to a demon
**[13:18] MARIUS**
instead of the god worshipped by humans
were known as demonoids.
**[13:22] MARIUS**
That's the simple version, anyway.
**[13:25] MARIUS**
I'm able to manage a labyrinth
because I'm a demonoid.
**[13:28] RUD**
What do you mean?
**[13:29] MARIUS**
You don't know?
**[13:31] MARIUS**
Currently, humans use them
for their own benefit,
**[13:35] MARIUS**
but labyrinths were originally created
by a demon to destroy the world of humans.
**[13:40] RUD**
What?
**[13:41] NIN**
You mean our god *didn't* create
the labyrinths to enrich our lives?
**[13:47] MARIUS**
Where did that story come from?
**[13:51] LILIA**
It's what we've been told
for generations, I guess.
**[13:53] LILY**
Right. Although, perhaps
someone once knew the truth.
**[13:59] MARIUS**
Well, now you know.
**[14:01] MARIUS**
A demonoid probably
manages this labyrinth, too.
**[14:05] MARIUS**
A pretty strong one at that.
**[14:08] MARIUS**
So you should be careful
when you fight the guardian.
**[14:12] RUD**
Sure, but aren't demonoids your people?
Are you okay with fighting one?
**[14:19] MARIUS**
I don't like them. If this is what
they're doing with their lives,
**[14:23] MARIUS**
then I will defeat them not
as a demonoid, but as Marius.
**[14:28] RUD**
I see.
**[14:29] MARIUS**
Forgive me. I accompanied your raid
so I could fight a personal battle.
**[14:37] RUD**
At the very least,
I think of you as a friend.
**[14:41] RUD**
I appreciate your continued support.
**[14:46] LILIA**
As long as you don't hurt Lily,
I have no complaints.
**[14:49] LILIA**
I'll pretend we never
had this conversation.
**[14:52] LILY**
So will I. As long as you don't
hurt my sister, we can be friends.
**[14:57] NIN**
That's all you two care about, isn't it?
Not that I disagree.
**[15:01] LUNA**
Same here.
**[15:02] RUD**
Good for you.
**[15:04] MARIUS**
It's all because of you. Thank you, Rud.
**[15:08] LILY**
Um, excuse me.
**[15:09] RUD**
Lily?
**[15:10] LILY**
I'm sorry to ruin the mood,
**[15:13] LILY**
but I'd like to discuss how we'll fight the
monsters confirmed to be on the 50th floor.
**[15:22] RUD**
Got it. Go ahead.
**[15:23] LILY**
Right!
**[15:27] LILY**
First, there are the lizards.
We can use an orthodox approach to...
**[15:33] RUD/ID**
* We progressed through the labyrinth,*
* defeating every monster in front of us.*
**[15:39] RUD/ID**
*And at last, we reached the 50th floor.*
**[15:52] LILY**
It's a bone dragon.
**[15:55] RUD**
Let's go, guys!
**[15:56] RUD**
Provoke!
**[16:00] RUD**
*My Provoke's working well.*
**[16:01] RUD**
*We'll be able to use Lily's strategy.*
**[16:04] SIGN**
Bone wings
**[16:04] SIGN**
Made entirely of bones
**[16:04] SIGN**
Four legs
**[16:04] SIGN**
Long tail
**[16:05] (Flashback) LILY**
We've confirmed that there are
bone dragons on the 50th floor.
**[16:10] (Flashback) LILY**
They frequently cause status effects,
which could disrupt our formation.
**[16:18] (Flashback) LILY**
So we'll get Rud to charge in first while the
rest of us stay out of range of its attacks.
**[16:25] (Flashback) RUD**
Got it.
**[16:26] (Flashback) LILY**
My sister and Marius will attack
from outside its range.
**[16:30] (Flashback) LILY**
Since it's a bone monster, it's better to
use crushing rather than slashing attacks.
**[16:35] (Flashback) LILIA**
Okay.
**[16:35] (Flashback) MARIUS**
Sure.
**[16:36] (Flashback) LILY**
Also, since it's weak to fire, we should enchant
our weapons with fire before taking one on.
**[16:44] (Flashback) LILY**
And primarily use fire magic, too.
**[16:46] (Flashback) LILY**
Plus, once a bone dragon loses a
certain amount of health, its body...
**[17:00] LILY**
Rud!
**[17:04] RUD**
Thanks, Lily.
**[17:06] LILY**
Sure thing.
**[17:06] RUD/ID**
*We should avoid standing under its wings.*
**[17:09] RUD/ID**
* I'll draw its attention*
* some more before moving.*
**[17:16] LUNA**
Master!
**[17:18] NIN**
It's okay, Luna. He's allowing
himself to get knocked back.
**[17:24] RUD/ID**
*It's quicker than I expected,*
**[17:26] RUD/ID**
* and I've gotten a bit too*
* far away from the others.*
**[17:32] RUD**
Thanks, you two.
**[17:33] MARIUS**
I was just itching to hit something.
**[17:35] RUD**
Okay, let's keep this up.
**[17:37] BOTH**
Yeah!
**[17:39] RUD**
*Each one of its attacks is quick and heavy,*
**[17:42] RUD**
* but as long as I watch closely*
* and brace myself, it's not a problem.*
**[17:47] MARIUS**
What is that?
**[17:50] RUD**
An AOE attack?
**[17:54] RUD**
Is everyone okay?
**[17:56] LILA**
I only suffered a scratch, but I seem to be
afflicted with some type of poison effect.
**[18:00] MARIUS**
Me, too.
**[18:01] RUD**
Nin, cure them while I distract the enemy.
**[18:04] NIN**
Got it. Let's heal them, Luna.
**[18:07] LUNA**
Okay.
**[18:11] RUD**
Take this!
**[18:13] LILY**
We know you're weak to fire!
**[18:17] RUD**
Provoke!
**[18:19] RUD**
What? It just...
**[18:21] RUD**
* So after suffering several attacks,*
* it ignores my Provoke and attacks randomly.*
**[18:25] LILY**
Rud, brace for an attack!
**[18:30] RUD**
My shoulder's gonna dislocate.
**[18:34] RUD/ID**
*My shield feels heavy.*
**[18:36] RUD/ID**
*What is this sludge?*
**[18:38] RUD**
Someone hit me with a water spell.
This sludge is sticking—
**[18:43] RUD**
The sludge is making my shield too heavy.
**[18:46] NIN**
Rud!
**[18:50] RUD**
Thanks, Nin.
**[18:52] NIN**
This is looking like it'll be a long battle,
which means I should...
**[18:59] MARIUS**
What's that?
**[19:00] RUD**
It's an auto-healing area.
**[19:02] RUD**
It's a saint skill that's only available to Nin:
an area that allows absorb shield recovery.
**[19:08] NIN**
It's up and running. Make good use of it.
**[19:11] RUD**
Got it.
**[19:12] SIGN**
1 Hour Later
**[19:12] SIGN**
m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
**[19:14] RUD**
*It still won't go down?*
**[19:17] RUD**
What now?
**[19:20] NIN**
Lily warned us about this.
**[19:25] LILY**
The flames are coming.
Get out of the way, everyone.
**[19:29] LILIA**
Rud?
**[19:37] NIN**
Rud!
**[19:38] LUNA**
Master!
**[19:42] RUD**
Why do you look so surprised?
**[19:45] RUD**
Did you think I'd be burnt to a crisp?
**[19:49] RUD**
Provoke!
**[19:57] RUD**
That barrage of attacks dealt about
5,000 damage to my absorb shield.
**[20:00] RUD**
This isn't good.
**[20:04] MARIUS**
You got me good earlier.
**[20:06] MARIUS**
It's time I took you out.
**[20:13] LILY**
Now!
**[20:16] LILY**
It's working. Just a little more.
**[20:20] RUD**
Provoke!
**[20:21] LILY**
Thank you, Rud.
**[20:26] RUD/ID**
*This isn't the end of our journey!*
**[20:34] RUD**
Life Conversion!
**[20:44] RUD**
Those are the bone dragon's
materials. It's over.
**[20:49] NIN**
Congratulations on
clearing the 50th floor.
**[20:52] RUD**
Thanks.
**[20:55] NIN**
But surely you don't intend to immediately
go and raid the 51st floor, right?
**[21:01] RUD**
No. That's enough for today.
**[21:08] LILY**
Rud, I think we should wait a little while
to sell the materials we gathered today.
**[21:13] LILY**
Word would get out that we've been
making progress on our raid.
**[21:17] RUD**
You're right. We can sell everything later.
**[21:21] NIN**
Lily, even back in town,
your commands are spot on.
**[21:24] LILY**
Oh, um...
**[21:27] LILY**
I'll do my best on the next floor, too.
**[21:30] NIN**
Then, it's time for the customary after-party!
**[21:33] LUNA**
Yeah!
**[21:35] LILIA**
Sorry. I can't today.
**[21:38] LILIA**
I'm a little tired.
I want to head back early and rest.
**[21:43] LILY**
Then, I will, too.
**[21:47] LILY**
See you all tomorrow.

**[00:02] NIN**
Good work today, everyone.
**[00:05] ALL**
Cheers!
**[00:10] NIN**
Nothing beats a post-raid drink!
**[00:13] RUD**
I'm glad to hear it.
**[00:15] LUNA**
Does alcohol really taste that good?
**[00:18] NIN**
If you're curious, why don't you try a sip?
**[00:23] RUD/ID**
* I've never heard of a homunculus*
* drinking before. Will she be all right?*
**[00:30] LUNA**
I want a sip, I want a sip, I want a sip.
**[00:32] RUD**
Uh, well, I guess a little can't hurt.
**[00:35] LUNA**
Thank you.
**[00:42] LUNA**
It's so bitter.
**[00:46] NIN**
It's an acquired taste.
**[00:48] LUNA**
Then, why did you offer me some?
**[00:53] NIN**
Because it meant
I got to see that reaction.
**[00:56] NIN**
The more you drink, the better it tastes.
**[00:59] NIN**
But y'know, you, Lilia, and Lily
have been awfully close lately.
**[01:05] RUD**
Wh-What? I don't think anything's changed.
**[01:08] NIN**
No? What do you think, Luna?
**[01:11] RUD**
Hey, don't drag Luna into it.
**[01:14] LUNA**
I think they've gotten closer.
**[01:17] RUD**
Did that sip get you drunk?
**[01:20] RUD**
Well, uh, they may not be clan members,
but they've been helping us a lot.
**[01:25] RUD**
I'm just worried
we might be imposing on them.
**[01:29] NIN**
So you're *not* more than just party mates?
**[01:33] RUD**
Definitely not.
**[01:34] NIN**
Huh. In that case...
**[01:38] NIN**
Why don't you and I become
*more* than just party mates?
**[01:44] RUD**
Are you drunk?
**[01:46] NIN**
Hm, maybe?
**[01:50] RUD**
I've said it before,
but things like that aren't on my mind.
**[01:55] RUD**
For now, raiding
labyrinths is my priority,
**[01:59] RUD**
so I don't intend on getting into that
kind of relationship with anyone just yet.
**[02:03] NIN**
Then, you'll have to address
all of that stuff first.
**[02:06] LUNA**
Master, does that mean
you're not dating anyone right now?
**[02:11] RUD**
Hm? Uh, I guess not.
**[02:16] RUD**
What is it?
**[02:18] LUNA**
I have so much fun whenever I'm with you,
and I get this warm feeling in my chest.
**[02:26] LUNA**
I'd like to spend even more
time with you, Master.
**[02:30] RUD**
What? Uh, sure.
**[02:32] NIN**
Well, look at you, Mister Popular.
**[02:34] RUD**
Shut up.
**[02:38] RUD**
Um...
**[02:40] RUD**
Should we ask for some water?
**[02:43] RUD**
Ah, Luna! Are you okay?
**[02:44] NIN**
I see trouble in your future.
**[02:45] RUD**
You're totally hammered.
**[02:50] RUD**
What an exhausting day.
**[02:57] RUD**
What? Wait...

Welcome back, Rud.
**[04:40] RUD**
Why are you sleeping in my bed?
**[04:43] LILIA**
Oh, right.
**[04:46] LILIA**
I wanted to ask you about something.
**[04:49] LILIA**
I had Marius let me into your room
so I could wait for you.
**[04:51] SIGN**
Thanks
for
holding
down
the
fort
**[04:52] (Flashback) MARIUS**
Thanks for holding down the fort.
**[04:54] LILIA**
I guess I was more tired than I realized.
**[04:57] RUD**
I see. So what did you want to talk about?
**[05:02] LILIA**
Lily's behavior today.
**[05:05] LILIA**
She worked really hard today.
**[05:09] RUD**
Yeah. Honestly, Lily surprised me.
She can do more than I thought.
**[05:15] LILIA**
She's always been able to get things done
as long as she stays calm. It was easy for her.
**[05:19] RUD**
You're twins, after all. It makes sense
that your abilities are comparable.
**[05:24] LILIA**
Lily put in a lot of effort today.
She wants to change, little by little.
**[05:29] LILIA**
Though it seems like
she exhausted herself by trying too hard.
**[05:34] RUD**
What's wrong?
**[05:35] LILIA**
What do you think about change?
**[05:38] LILIA**
Has it ever scared you?
**[05:41] RUD**
I guess so. I actually don't
like change all that much.
**[05:46] RUD**
Especially not what's been
happening to Avancia recently.
**[05:51] RUD**
Sometimes, I feel it'd be better
if things didn't change.
**[05:54] RUD**
I'm sure a lot of the townsfolk feel the same.
**[05:58] RUD**
Even I don't know if
we're doing the right thing.
**[06:02] RUD**
But I'm also kind of glad
that things have changed.
**[06:07] RUD**
Avancia would never have gotten
so lively if it hadn't changed.
**[06:13] RUD**
So I think the best option is
to find a way to enjoy change.
**[06:18] LILIA**
I thought it'd be best if things
stayed the same, and I still do.
**[06:25] LILIA**
Honestly, I'm weaker than Lily.
**[06:29] LILIA**
Naturally, I want to support her.
**[06:32] LILIA**
But I'm also sad to see
her drift away from me.
**[06:37] RUD/ID**
*Lilia's inability to let her sister go*
**[06:39] RUD/ID**
* might be a bigger problem than*
* Lily's desire to become independent.*
**[06:44] RUD**
Some things will change,
**[06:46] RUD**
but I'm sure "Lilia and Lily" won't.
**[06:50] LILIA**
What?
**[06:51] RUD**
I think you two will always
get along and stay together.
**[06:55] RUD**
Even if stuff changes,
that core principle will remain the same.
**[07:00] RUD**
So even if something changes, you two will
likely continue to live together like always.
**[07:07] LILIA**
You've thought about that
more than I was expecting.
**[07:09] RUD**
Sorry that all I have to offer
are my own thoughts.
**[07:12] LILIA**
It's fine. That's what
I wanted to hear anyway.
**[07:16] LILIA**
Lily was so brilliant today.
I couldn't look at her, but...
**[07:23] LILIA**
But starting tomorrow,
I don't want to turn away.
**[07:28] RUD**
Good luck.
**[07:32] LILIA**
I'll do my best.

**[07:39] RUD**
We'll start on the 51st floor today.
**[07:42] RUD**
Go ahead, Lily.
**[07:43] LILY**
Okay. The 51st floor is as far as
the two major clans have reached,
**[07:47] LILY**
so we don't have a lot of info on it.
**[07:49] LILY**
But because the fog in
the labyrinth is so dense,
**[07:52] LILY**
we may need to use something other
than detection magic to find monsters.
**[07:57] RUD**
Lily, you'll remain in charge of detection.
**[07:59] RUD**
Marius and I will search as much as we can.
**[08:02] RUD**
Luna, be on your guard, too.
**[08:04] LUNA**
Uh, um, I-I didn't mean anything
by what I said yesterday!
**[08:09] RUD**
Huh? Uh, right.
**[08:10] NIN**
So you're the type who remembers
what they did while drunk, huh?
**[08:14] LILY**
Looks like we're all ready.
**[08:18] LILY**
Dungeon Walk.

Keild Labyrinth: 51st Floor
**[08:25] RUD**
Yup, the fog is rather dense in here.
**[08:28] LILY**
Like I thought,
my detection spell isn't working.
**[08:32] RUD**
Luna, can you try clearing
the fog with a wind spell?
**[08:35] LUNA**
Right.
**[08:42] RUD**
That didn't work.
**[08:43] MARIUS**
This fog is probably made of mana.
**[08:48] MARIUS**
That's why the wind couldn't clear it.
**[08:51] MARIUS**
But since monsters also have mana,
we can focus on that.
**[08:56] RUD**
I'll give it a shot.
**[09:01] RUD/ID**
* It's not perfect,*
* but I can tell where they are.*
**[09:07] RUD/ID**
*Incoming.*
**[09:08] RUD**
Stand back, everyone.
There's something out there.
**[09:11] RUD**
Provoke.
**[09:17] RUD**
*Is this water magic?*
**[09:21] LILY**
They're probably sahagin.
**[09:24] LUNA**
I'll scatter them.
**[09:31] NIN**
It's annoying how this fog
is obscuring the enemy.
**[09:40] RUD**
Guys, flee toward my ten o'clock.
They haven't completely surrounded us.
**[09:45] NIN**
It's all you.
**[09:47] RUD**
Provoke.
**[09:52] RUD**
*They've finally shown themselves.*
**[09:54] RUD**
*Like Lily said, they're sahagin.*
**[10:06] MARIUS**
I'm so good at detecting,
I can act even if I'm blinded.
**[10:10] RUD**
Nice, Marius.
**[10:14] RUD/ID**
* We learned to detect the*
* monster's mana like Marius suggested,*
**[10:18] RUD/ID**
* and successfully defeated the sahagin*
* that appeared after that.*
**[10:24] LILY**
Let's take a break before
heading to the next floor.
**[10:27] NIN**
Okay, I'll make us something to eat.
**[10:29] BOTH**
We'll help.
**[10:33] MARIUS**
We're going to eat the sahagin?
**[10:36] NIN**
Yeah. We need to eat while we can.
**[10:40] RUD**
But man, the materials
that dropped are amazing.
**[10:45] LILIA**
Right? It's all top-class stuff.
**[10:49] LILIA**
Because of our conversation,
I've had no trouble looking at Lily today.
**[10:56] LILIA**
Thanks.
**[10:59] NIN**
Food's ready, you two.
**[11:02] MARIUS**
These sahagin are delicious.
**[11:10] RUD**
There's no fog, but this place is huge.
**[11:12] NIN**
It's like a boss room.
**[11:14] MARIUS**
Something's coming.
**[11:18] RUD**
A magic circle?
**[11:23] LILY**
It's a dark skeleton!
**[11:26] LUNA**
Something else is spawning!
**[11:31] RUD**
I've never seen those before.
**[11:33] LUNA**
Blue, red, yellow.
**[11:35] LUNA**
They look like crystals.
**[11:38] RUD**
Shield of Sacrifice.
**[11:42] RUD/ID**
*Such incredible pressure.*
**[11:44] RUD/ID**
* The monsters we've fought*
* up to now don't even compare.*
**[11:48] RUD**
Lily, command us.
I'm going to start by charging it.
**[11:52] LILY**
Got it.
**[11:53] RUD**
Provoke.
**[11:58] RUD**
What the...
**[12:00] LILY**
It's one of the crystals.
**[12:01] LILY**
The yellow crystal created something
like a barrier when you attacked.
**[12:06] RUD**
*This is obnoxious. I'll pull back for now.*
**[12:13] RUD/ID**
*So the red one attacks, huh?*
**[12:19] RUD/ID**
*And the blue one?*
**[12:22] RUD/ID**
*It got faster?*
**[12:25] RUD/ID**
*I get it now.*
**[12:27] RUD/ID**
* The yellow crystal acts like a tank,*
* the blue one casts enhancing magic,*
**[12:30] RUD/ID**
*and the red one casts offensive spells.*
**[12:33] RUD/ID**
*What an annoying monster.*
**[12:35] RUD/ID**
* That yellow crystal barrier*
* is especially problematic.*
**[12:38] RUD/ID**
*How should we attack it?*
**[12:40] RUD/ID**
* For now, I'll do what I always do*
* and draw its attention...*
**[12:46] RUD/ID**
*and they'll attack from behind.*
**[12:52] LILY**
It blocked our attacks.
**[12:53] MARIUS**
But the crystal can only erect
a barrier around itself.
**[13:00] RUD**
We can do this. Keep up the pressure.
**[13:07] RUD**
It blinded us?
**[13:08] RUD**
Is everyone okay?
**[13:11] RUD**
What's wrong, Marius?
**[13:12] MARIUS**
It's Lilia.
**[13:18] RUD**
Lilia's acting strange.
**[13:26] MARIUS**
What's wrong with you, Lilia?
**[13:28] LILIA**
Stop...
**[13:30] LILIA**
Stop hurting Lily!
**[13:34] LILIA/ID**
*I have to protect her.*
**[13:36] (Flashback) DAD**
Lily!
**[13:38] (Flashback) DAD**
You screwed up again.
**[13:41] LILIA/ID**
*I have to protect her.*
**[13:43] LILIA/ID**
*Stop hurting Lily.*
**[13:45] LILIA/ID**
*I have to protect Lily.*
**[13:50] DAD**
How dare you look at your father like that!
**[13:53] LILIA**
*S-Someone, help...*
**[13:55] MOM**
You brats just get in the way.
**[14:03] LILIA**
Don't hurt Lily anymore!
**[14:08] RUD**
Nin, cure her.
**[14:09] NIN**
Wait.
**[14:11] NIN**
The others have been afflicted
with status effects, too.
**[14:14] NIN**
I'll cure these two first.
**[14:16] RUD**
Got it.
**[14:17] RUD/ID**
* I see. Only Marius, Nin, and I are*
* resistant to status effects.*
**[14:22] RUD/ID**
* If we'd all been affected,*
* our party could've been wiped out.*
**[14:29] RUD**
Life Conversion!
**[14:33] MARIUS**
You knocked the crystal away. Nice.
**[14:36] RUD**
Marius, can you keep
the dark skeleton in check?
**[14:40] MARIUS**
On it. That'll be easier for me.
**[14:43] RUD**
Lilia!
**[14:50] RUD**
I'm sorry, Lilia.
**[14:55] RUD**
Calm down, Lilia.
**[14:55] LILIA**
Let go. Stop hurting her.
**[14:58] LILIA**
Stop hurting Lily!
**[15:03] (Flashback) RUD**
You mentioned your parents
abandoned you and now you live together.
**[15:08] (Flashback) LILIA**
Actually, it'd be more accurate to say
we were being abused by them and ran away.
**[15:16] RUD/ID**
*Is she seeing visions of her past trauma?*
**[15:20] RUD/ID**
* A frenzied state can sometimes be calmed*
* by saying things to counteract the cause.*
**[15:27] RUD**
Lilia, there's no one here who
would do harm to the two of you.
**[15:35] RUD**
Don't worry. You're both strong now.
**[15:45] LILIA**
R-Rud?
**[15:47] RUD**
Yeah, it's me. We're all here for you.
**[15:51] RUD**
You can calm down now.
**[15:57] RUD**
No matter what happens,
I will protect the two of you.
**[16:03] LILIA**
I-I...
**[16:05] RUD**
You were just confused
because of the dark skeleton's magic.
**[16:11] RUD**
It's okay.
**[16:13] RUD**
You have lots of people to help you now.
**[16:19] LILIA**
Yeah, you're right.
We have you and the others now.
**[16:25] RUD**
Marius, nice work hanging in there.
**[16:27] RUD**
Come back so we can heal you.
**[16:29] MARIUS**
This is a piece of cake, but sure.
**[16:33] MARIUS**
We can't fight properly
unless we destroy the yellow one.
**[16:36] RUD**
But once we do that, it'll be easy.
**[16:42] RUD/ID**
* It's not going to let me charge.*
* In that case...*
**[16:45] RUD**
Nin. We need you.
**[16:50] RUD/ID**
* This will provide me with some*
* protection from its fire magic.*
**[16:58] RUD/ID**
*The crystals respond quickly.*
**[17:00] RUD/ID**
*It's not working.*
**[17:05] RUD**
Lilia. Marius. I may have
found a way to break through.
**[17:09] RUD**
The water droplets that were stuck to me
**[17:12] RUD**
flew through the barrier and
stuck to the dark skeleton.
**[17:15] RUD**
It probably can't block magical and
physical attacks at the same time.
**[17:20] LILIA**
It's worth a shot.
**[17:30] MARIUS**
The fire magic passed through the barrier.
**[17:32] LILY**
This is what you get for messing with me.
**[17:41] RUD**
It blocked our attacks, but we're
making progress. Let's keep it up.
**[17:57] LILIA**
Don't bother. That attack won't
work on anyone here anymore.
**[18:02] NIN**
My spell is nullifying status effects.
**[18:09] RUD**
Luna's wind magic, Nin's water magic,
and Lily's fire magic.
**[18:14] RUD**
It's impressive.
**[18:17] NIN**
The yellow crystal's glowing. It's planning
to erect a barrier and try to escape.
**[18:22] NIN**
Rud, you'll get caught in our spells.
**[18:26] RUD**
I'll use Life Conversion to turn
that damage into an attack.
**[18:33] RUD**
Life Conversion!
**[18:40] LILY**
That definitely weakened it.
**[18:49] RUD**
It split?
**[18:51] MARIUS**
There are more crystals, too.
**[18:56] RUD**
Lilia and Marius, take one of them down.
**[18:59] MARIUS**
But we don't know which is the real one.
**[19:01] LILIA**
It doesn't matter.
At this rate, they'll crush Rud.
**[19:06] LUNA**
That's the real one.
**[19:27] RUD**
Its movements changed?
**[19:29] RUD**
In that case...
**[19:32] RUD**
This is the end!
**[19:39] RUD**
Marius and Lilia, get in there.
**[19:58] RUD**
I was worried when the
boss suddenly appeared.
**[20:02] NIN**
I need a break after that.
**[20:05] RUD**
Yeah. Let's find the magic circle and
take a break before proceeding.
**[20:10] LILY**
I'll use detection magic to look for it.
**[20:13] LILY**
There's no fog here, so it should work.
**[20:18] LILY**
Huh?
**[20:19] RUD**
What is it?
**[20:20] LILY**
I can't find it. I can't sense it at all.
**[20:25] RUD**
Does that mean this is the bottom floor?
**[20:29] RUD**
Marius, what do you think?
**[20:32] MARIUS**
Honestly, I'm not sure what this
labyrinth's guardian is thinking.
**[20:38] MARIUS**
It's possible that dark skeleton
was their masterpiece,
**[20:42] MARIUS**
and they fear us now
because we defeated it.
**[20:46] RUD**
So they sealed off the route
to the next level?
**[20:48] MARIUS**
Yeah. I've got a feeling
this guardian is unusual.
**[20:53] RUD**
So this is as far as we can go, huh?
**[20:56] RUD**
We've accomplished plenty,
so we'll head back.
**[21:03] AMON**
What's that? You're leaving?
**[21:11] RUD**
Who's there?
**[21:15] RUD/ID**
*Who is this strangely imposing little girl?*
**[21:19] MARIUS**
Rud, this is bad.
**[21:25] AMON**
Hm, were more dark skeletons
supposed to spawn here?
**[21:31] RUD/ID**
* "Supposed to"? Ugh. We can't*
* handle four at once right now.*
**[21:35] AMON**
I thought I'd removed them.
**[21:41] RUD**
A single attack...
**[21:43] MARIUS**
I wasn't expecting a demon king.

**[03:22] AMON**

allied himself with humans, huh?
**[03:28] MARIUS**
Not really. I just hate demon kings.
**[03:34] AMON**
Ah, I see, I see.
**[03:37] AMON**
But you should stay out of my way,
Demon King Marius.
**[03:41] AMON**
You know you don't
stand a chance against us.
**[03:46] RUD**
Maybe Marius can't beat you alone,
**[03:50] RUD**
but you're facing more
than just him right now.
**[03:55] AMON**
What's your point?
**[03:57] AMON**
Your individual strength still
doesn't compare to a demon king's.
**[04:02] RUD**
Individual humans
aren't particularly strong.
**[04:06] RUD**
We can't raid dungeons alone.
**[04:08] RUD**
That's why we form parties.
**[04:11] AMON**
Raiding dungeons, huh?
**[04:13] AMON**
Let's see if you can do that when faced with
Amon Sloth, the Keild Labyrinth's guardian,
**[04:23] AMON**
foolish humans!
**[04:26] LUNA**
Her mana is tremendous.
**[04:28] RUD**
We have no choice but to fight.
**[04:31] RUD**
Shield of Sacrifice!
**[04:34] RUD**
Provoke!
**[04:40] RUD**
What power.
**[04:47] LILY**
You'll pay for hurting my sister.
**[04:50] NIN**
She used a whirlwind
to deflect their attacks.
**[04:52] RUD**
Even if I use Provoke, she doesn't
focus all of her attention on me.
**[04:57] AMON**
I see. You're not bad, but you won't
be able to reach me with those attacks.
**[05:02] RUD**
Then, we'll keep attacking until we do!
**[05:04] AMON**
I can easily evade
such attacks with wind magic—
**[05:07] NIN**
Quit floating around up there!
**[05:10] AMON**
Ow!
**[05:12] AMON**
You're a noisy woman.
**[05:19] LILIA**
She's ridiculously strong.
**[05:21] MARIUS**
How are we going to beat her?
**[05:24] RUD**
It's all right. We can keep up.
**[05:26] AMON**
Is that all you've got?
**[05:28] RUD**
Provoke!
**[05:30] AMON**
What's wrong?
**[05:32] AMON**
You can't touch me with
such haphazard attacks.
**[05:36] RUD**
They're not haphazard.
**[05:39] RUD**
Flashing magic stone!
**[05:42] AMON**
What is this? It's so bright.
**[05:49] MARIUS**
How was that?
**[05:54] RUD**
What is this?
**[05:56] RUD**
Is the mana flowing out of her
whipping up a storm?
**[05:59] AMON**
I've ever so slightly underestimated you.
**[06:02] AMON**
I apologize.
**[06:08] RUD**
Nin, heal us.
**[06:10] NIN**
Got it.
**[06:11] NIN**
Come over here, everyone.
I'll cast support magic on you all.
**[06:14] NIN**
She's far stronger than
any monster we've faced so far.
**[06:19] RUD**
Yeah.
**[06:21] LILIA**
But if we work together,
we can defeat her.
**[06:25] LUNA**
I'll fight for my master and Ms. Manicia.
**[06:28] LILY**
Me, too.
**[06:30] NIN**
Naturally, so will I.
**[06:31] MARIUS**
Me, too. This is a unique opportunity
to defeat a demon king.
**[06:37] RUD**
Okay. We'll attack once the storm dies down.
**[06:48] NIN**
A w-wolf?
**[06:49] RUD**
It looks like a fenrir.
**[06:57] RUD**
Marius, can you transform
into a monster and fight, too?
**[06:59] MARIUS**
Sure. If you don't mind me
attacking friend and foe alike.
**[07:02] RUD**
In that case, I prefer you
in your current form.
**[07:08] RUD/ID**
* This will allow me to reduce the number*
* of attacks aimed at our attackers.*
**[07:17] RUD/ID**
* The question is, how long can I last*
* against this massive monster?*
**[07:25] MARIUS**
We've barely scratched it.
**[07:27] LILIA**
Its fur is as tough as armor.
**[07:30] RUD**
Eyes on me!
**[07:33] RUD/ID**
*I'm screwed if it sinks those fangs into me.*
**[07:36] RUD/ID**
*But its attack pattern lacks variety.*
**[07:39] RUD/ID**
* The repeated hits are*
* eating away my absorb shield.*
**[07:41] LILY**
Long-range spells incoming!
**[07:49] LILY**
They don't seem very effective.
**[07:51] RUD**
We're prepared for a long fight
against the guardian.
**[07:57] RUD/ID**
*Its attacks have gotten even stronger?*
**[08:00] RUD/ID**
*Damn. I could really use a breather.*
**[08:05] MARIUS**
Sorry, Rud.
**[08:06] MARIUS**
It took some time to
build up power for an attack.
**[08:09] RUD**
No problem. That was great.
**[08:11] RUD/ID**
*He cut through its armor-like fur.*
**[08:13] RUD/ID**
*Nice work, Marius.*
**[08:20] NIN**
Its roar is deafening.
**[08:22] NIN**
Rud, I'm going to cast a status effect
nullifying spell on you three, just in case.
**[08:27] NIN**
I can't heal you while
it's active, so be careful.
**[08:30] RUD**
Got it.
**[08:35] MARIUS**
Rud, are you okay?
**[08:37] RUD**
Yeah. My absorb shield is holding.
**[08:40] RUD/ID**
* As long as I remain standing,*
* my party mates can't lose.*
**[08:44] RUD/ID**
*I need to hang on.*
**[08:53] RUD/ID**
*We'll overcome the enemy!*
**[09:09] RUD**
Provoke!
**[09:12] RUD/ID**
*It's tough, but its movements have slowed.*
**[09:18] RUD**
What's that?
**[09:20] NIN**
What *is* that green wind?
**[09:22] MARIUS**
Don't know, don't care.
**[09:24] MARIUS**
I'll cut it all!
**[09:28] RUD**
Marius!
**[09:29] NIN**
Judging by that attack, it looks like it's
a barrier that cuts anyone who gets close.
**[09:36] RUD**
That stone on its forehead...
**[09:38] RUD**
It wasn't glimmering like that
until it activated the barrier.
**[09:41] RUD**
If we can destroy that,
we may be able to defeat it.
**[09:44] MARIUS**
But that wind is keeping us at bay.
**[09:47] LILY**
Nin, cast a dispelling spell.
**[09:49] LILY**
We'll follow up by attacking all at once.
**[09:52] NIN**
Got it.
**[09:53] NIN**
Power of darkness from
which holy light originates...
**[09:57] RUD**
Let's buy her time.
**[10:04] NIN**
Quell the white waves
amidst invisible luster...
**[10:07] RUD/ID**
* The rushing wind is*
* making it difficult to breathe.*
**[10:12] RUD/ID**
* Even just standing here,*
* the wind's constantly slashing at me.*
**[10:16] RUD/ID**
*It's unbearable.*
**[10:17] NIN**
Disappear into silence
with brilliant benevolence.
**[10:19] RUD/ID**
*But I must endure it.*
**[10:21] RUD/ID**
* If I focus on defending and*
* keep weathering its attacks…*
**[10:26] RUD**
It won't let us get close.
**[10:28] NIN**
Become powerless!
**[10:31] NIN**
Cease your meaningless struggling!
**[10:36] NIN**
I've dispelled the wind wall.
Now's our chance to destroy it!
**[10:40] MARIUS**
Got it.
**[10:43] LUNA**
You won't get away!
**[10:47] RUD/ID**
* It blocked our attacks against its magic*
* stone, but that left its chest open.*
**[10:53] MARIUS**
Go, Rud!
**[10:55] RUD/ID**
* It's dealt nearly 30,000 damage*
* to my absorb shield so far.*
**[10:59] RUD**
Take this!
**[11:01] RUD**
Life Conversion!
**[11:06] RUD**
What's that?
**[11:09] RUD**
That's not its armor.
**[11:12] RUD**
It's an offensive wind spell!
**[11:14] RUD**
Get back, everyone!
**[11:18] RUD/ID**
*Crap.*
**[11:21] NIN**
His absorb shield...
**[11:25] NIN**
Rud!
**[11:29] RUD/ID**
*Endure it. Endure it, endure it!*
**[11:34] RUD/ID**
* If I lose my absorb shield*
* and suffer a serious injury now...*
**[11:39] RUD/ID**
*I'll die.*
**[11:46] NIN**
Rud! Rud!
**[11:51] RUD**
It stopped.
**[11:53] NIN**
Rud, are you okay?
**[11:55] RUD**
Yeah, barely.
**[11:57] LILY**
Sister!
**[12:00] RUD**
Marius!
**[12:00] NIN**
Lilia!
**[12:02] RUD**
Hang in there, you two.
**[12:05] MARIUS**
Rud?
**[12:07] RUD**
Good. They're both alive.
**[12:16] RUD**
Luna and Nin, heal them. If it launches
another attack now, they're dead.
**[12:22] NIN**
But your absorb shield has been
shattered! It's too dangerous!
**[12:25] RUD**
I can still use my skills without an
absorb shield. I can keep fighting.
**[12:28] RUD**
Besides, I'm the only one who can stop it.
**[12:31] NIN**
Fine. Luna, Lily.
**[12:35] RUD/ID**
* I'm the one who selfishly insisted*
* we come here, anyway.*
**[12:39] RUD/ID**
*I made them come with me.*
**[12:41] RUD/ID**
*I have to fix this.*
**[12:48] RUD/ID**
* Now that my absorb shield's gone,*
* it hurts so much. It's going to crush me.*
**[12:54] RUD/ID**
*A-A wind spell?*
**[12:57] RUD/ID**
*It's not casting?*
**[13:01] RUD/ID**
*No, it can't.*
**[13:05] RUD/ID**
*It's in bad shape.*
**[13:07] RUD/ID**
*So we almost had it.*
**[13:10] RUD**
I hate to say it, but we have to retreat.
**[13:13] LILY**
We can keep fighting.
**[13:15] LILY**
Nin and Luna, prepare to cast spells.
**[13:19] LILY**
I'm going to switch to
fighting as an attacker.
**[13:23] NIN**
Lily, what are you saying?
**[13:25] LILY**
I'll use my Fusion skill
to take my sister's place.
**[13:29] LILY**
Given how weak it is,
we must be close to beating it.
**[13:31] RUD**
But—
**[13:32] LILY**
Rud, didn't you say
you'd listen to my requests?
**[13:36] LILY**
I can keep fighting!
**[13:39] RUD**
You're one crazy girl.
**[13:42] RUD**
All right. I'll keep tanking.
**[13:44] LUNA**
I'll keep fighting, too.
**[13:46] NIN**
Hit it with everything you've got.
**[13:49] LILY**
Right.
**[13:52] RUD/ID**
* I didn't think losing my absorb shield*
* would make me this weak.*
**[13:57] RUD/ID**
*But I need to buy time.*
**[14:04] NIN**
Rud!
**[14:05] RUD**
Sorry, Nin. Lily, are you ready?
**[14:10] LILIALY**
Here I come.
**[14:16] LILIALY**
More.
**[14:24] LILIALY**
Rud!
**[14:26] RUD/ID**
* She's about as quick as*
* when Lilia takes the lead,*
**[14:30] RUD/ID**
* but unlike Lilia, her movements*
* are too flat and predictable.*
**[14:34] LILIALY**
I'm sorry. I don't know how
to use this body yet.
**[14:39] RUD**
Then, fight like you always do.
**[14:43] RUD**
Lilia's unconscious right now. You don't
need to give her any consideration.
**[14:48] RUD**
Fight your way, Lily.
**[14:51] LILIALY**
My way?
**[14:53] RUD**
I'll buy time until you get used to it,
so take your time preparing.
**[14:59] LILIALY**
Got it.
**[15:01] RUD/ID**
*The truth is, we don't have that much time.*
**[15:07] RUD/ID**
* But my friend is fighting*
* her hardest so she can change.*
**[15:10] RUD/ID**
* So as her friend,*
* I should match her energy.*
**[15:16] LILIALY**
Rud!
**[15:17] RUD/ID**
* Damn. In my current state,*
* it's tough for me to buy time as a tank.*
**[15:22] RUD/ID**
*I feel like I might black out any second.*
**[15:26] RUD/ID**
*No, I'm just making excuses.*
**[15:29] RUD/ID**
* No matter the circumstances,*
* I must protect my friends.*
**[15:35] RUD/ID**
* Marius used his mana*
* like an absorb shield.*
**[15:38] RUD/ID**
* If I can do that,*
* I may be able to keep fighting.*
**[15:42] NIN**
Rud, it's heading your way!
**[15:47] RUD/ID**
*That was sloppy, but it worked.*
**[15:49] RUD/ID**
*Still, that wasn't enough.*
**[15:53] RUD/ID**
*I need to utilize all the mana in my body.*
**[15:59] RUD/ID**
* My body's moving like it does*
* when I have an absorb shield.*
**[16:02] RUD/ID**
*The pain in my arm is lessening, too.*
**[16:05] RUD/ID**
*So that's how it works.*
**[16:08] RUD/ID**
*Its attacks have quickened. Is it in a hurry?*
**[16:12] RUD/ID**
*I'll unleash even more mana than before.*
**[16:16] RUD/ID**
* I can move exactly as I do*
* when I have an absorb shield.*
**[16:21] RUD**
Time to counterattack.
**[16:24] RUD**
Lily, now!
**[16:26] LILIALY**
This isn't my sister's style.
**[16:28] LILIALY**
This is how *I* fight!
**[16:34] RUD**
What power.
**[16:37] RUD**
She imbued her sword
with multiple elements.
**[16:42] LILIALY**
This is the end.
**[16:45] RUD**
She's going to hit it with
all four elements at once?
**[17:08] RUD**
Lily, are you okay?
**[17:10] LILIALY**
Yes. Thank you, Rud.
**[17:14] RUD**
I should be thanking you.
Because of you, we won.
**[17:18] LILIALY**
It wasn't just me.
**[17:27] RUD**
Rest for now.
**[17:29] RUD**
Amon, do you still intend to fight?
**[17:33] AMON**
I can't move a muscle.
**[17:35] AMON**
That was impressive.
I didn't think you could beat me.
**[17:40] RUD**
I'm searching for magic stones
that grant wishes. Sound familiar?
**[17:46] AMON**
There. Take it.
**[17:47] RUD**
Whoops.
**[17:50] RUD**
Thanks.
**[17:51] AMON**
I didn't expect to be thanked
by someone I just fought.
**[17:56] AMON**
Are you not going to finish me off?
**[17:58] AMON**
Ah, are you enjoying watching
a pretty young girl suffer?
**[18:04] RUD**
You called yourself "a" demon king.
Does that mean there are others?
**[18:09] AMON**
Yes, though I don't know exactly how many.
**[18:13] RUD**
What is their goal?
**[18:15] AMON**
The demon kings are playing a game...
**[18:20] AMON**
to see if they can destroy this world.
**[18:29] RUD**
And what's your goal?
**[18:32] RUD**
Do you oppose humans as a demon king?
**[18:34] RUD**
Or do you simply wish to
fight powerful opponents?
**[18:38] AMON**
Seems you have something to say.
**[18:40] RUD**
Yeah.
**[18:41] AMON**
Out with it, then.
**[18:44] RUD**
Will you help us?
**[18:46] AMON**
What?
**[18:48] RUD**
If demon kings are going to keep bothering us,
then I want allies to help me to fight them.
**[18:54] AMON**
In that case, why not put a Slave's Armband
on me and force me to obey you?
**[18:58] RUD**
I don't want to force anyone to do anything.
That's why I'm asking.
**[19:03] AMON**
You're an amusing fellow.
**[19:07] AMON**
Well, it's not as though I'm *particularly*
attached to being a demon king.
**[19:11] AMON**
In fact, if you're welcoming me
into your ranks...
**[19:15] AMON**
then I'll gladly become your ally.
**[19:20] RUD**
Thanks.
**[19:22] RUD**
For now, let's return to—
**[19:24] RUD**
What?
**[19:25] AMON**
I'm tired and can't walk anymore.
I want you to carry me.
**[19:30] RUD**
Uh, what?
**[19:30] SIGN**
Uh, what?
**[19:31] SIGN**
Uh, what?
**[19:31] RUD/ID**
* And that's how we successfully recruited*
* Amon Sloth, Keild Labyrinth's guardian.*
**[19:38] RUD/ID**
* And then, at the clans' ball*
* that was held later...*
**[19:44] RUD**
Our clan has conquered
the Keild Labyrinth.
**[19:47] GUEST A**
This is a map of the 51st floor.
**[19:49] GUEST B**
You're joking.
**[19:50] RUD**
In exchange for this map
and information,
**[19:53] RUD**
we request an alliance
with both your clans.
**[19:56] RUD/ID**
*...I declared our intent.*
**[19:58] RUD/ID**
* Naturally, I didn't mention that we'd*
* recruited the guardian this time either.*
**[20:03] RUD/ID**
* Having formed an alliance with the two*
* major clans, we decided to return to Avancia.*
**[20:09] RUD/ID**
*I miss Manicia.*
**[20:12] LILY**
Rud.
**[20:14] LILY**
Rud.
**[20:15] RUD**
Li—
**[20:17] LILY**
Be quiet, or you'll wake the others.
**[20:21] LILY**
Thank you for your actions
during that battle in the labyrinth.
**[20:24] RUD**
Sure. But like I said, we won because of you.
**[20:29] LILY**
We won because of all of us.
**[20:31] LILY**
But I was able to fight because of you, Rud.
**[20:37] LILY**
Thank you.
**[20:39] LILY**
I'm going to sleep now.
**[20:43] RUD/ID**
*Wh-What was that just now?*
**[20:45] RUD/ID**
*Wait, she's asleep already?*
**[20:47] RUD/ID**
* Uh, I'll ask her what that was*
* about later. For now, I'll sleep.*
**[20:52] LILIA**
Rud.
**[20:54] RUD/ID**
*Lilia! Did she see what just happened?*
**[20:57] LILIA**
Thanks for helping me during
that battle in the labyrinth.
**[21:00] LILIA**
I heard your voice.
**[21:03] LILIA**
That's all.
**[21:05] RUD**
Uh, sure.
**[21:09] RUD/N**
* When we arrived back in Avancia,*
* we immediately went to see Manicia.*
**[21:14] RUD**
Manicia, use this.
**[21:16] RUD**
How do you feel?
**[21:18] MANICIA**
My body feels much lighter.
**[21:22] MANICIA**
Ms. Amon, thank you.
**[21:25] AMON**
What?
**[21:26] MANICIA**
I don't have much to offer you,
**[21:30] MANICIA**
but I'll cook your meals and
serve you a 3PM snack every day.
**[21:34] MANICIA**
So while you're staying here,
please eat as much as you want.
**[21:40] AMON**
I like how that sounds coming
from a cute little human like you.
**[21:45] AMON**
And the snacks are good.
**[21:48] AMON**
Perhaps I'll stick around
this town for a while.

**[00:01] MANICIA**
"The stench from the hordes
of adventurers is bothersome."
**[00:04] MANICIA**
"Tourists are littering."
**[00:07] MANICIA**
"Please build a theater."
**[00:09] MANICIA**
"Please repair the roads."
**[00:10] MANICIA**
"Assign knights to Avancia, too."
**[00:14] MANICIA**
Those are all the major requests
from the townsfolk.
**[00:18] MANICIA**
There are more in there, so be sure
to look through it, dear brother.
**[00:23] MANICIA**
I'm going to go clean.
**[00:25] MANICIA**
Lime, I'll race you to the second floor.
**[00:32] RUD**
I love the sound of Manicia
energetically climbing the stairs.
**[00:39] RUD/ID**
*Still, we've received a ton of requests.*
**[00:42] RUD/ID**
* I'm glad the two major clans*
* agreed to an alliance with us,*
**[00:45] RUD/ID**
* but our growth has*
* come with a lot of issues.*
**[00:50] NIN**
Rud, come with me!
**[00:55] RUD**
What's wrong, Nin?
**[00:56] NIN**
This way.
**[00:59] NIN**
We found this girl lying on the ground.
**[01:04] NIN**
She's a homunculus.
**[01:11] FAIR**
P-Please help me.
**[01:13] FAIR**
My friends are still out there.
**[01:15] FAIR**
We were attacked in the
woods near this town.
**[01:17] NIN**
Let's go.
**[01:18] RUD**
Yeah.
**[01:19] LUNA**
Master, I'll come with you.
**[01:22] RUD**
No. I want you to stay here, Luna.
**[01:24] LUNA**
What?
**[01:25] RUD**
You treated this girl's wounds.
She'll feel safer with you around.
**[01:32] LUNA**
All right.

* But I'm currently managing the labyrinth.*
* No monsters should be leaving it.*
**[03:15] NIN**
There!
**[03:17] RUD**
The homunculi are fighting each other?
**[03:21] NIN**
One side has clearly
been forced into this fight.
**[03:25] NIN**
Not only that, but the defenders seem to
have emotions, like the girl we met earlier.
**[03:37] RUD**
I'm an adventurer from Avancia,
a nearby town.
**[03:41] RUD**
Listen to me.
**[03:43] RUD**
Please.
**[03:47] RUD**
They won't listen.
**[03:51] RUD**
One of your friends came
to our town and requested help.
**[03:55] RUD**
Hey!
**[03:58] RUD/ID**
* That girl's an equal match*
* for her attackers.*
**[04:06] RUD**
Are you the homunculi
she was talking about?
**[04:14] SAMIMINA**
Yes, that's us.
**[04:17] RUD**
So who are they?
**[04:20] SAMIMINA**
Combat homunculi from Brunkels.
**[04:26] RUD**
*Brunkels?*
**[04:27] RUD**
*That's the same country Luna fled from.*
**[04:30] RUD**
*Which means they're illegal homunculi.*
**[04:34] RUD**
Nin, heal them.
**[04:37] NIN**
Got it.
**[04:39] NIN**
Area High Heal.
**[04:41] AMON**
I thought I heard something.
**[04:44] AMON**
Looks like they've gotten
themselves into trouble.
**[04:49] RUD/ID**
*No wonder they're anxious.*
**[04:51] RUD/ID**
* They're looking at a*
* bunch of illegal creations.*
**[04:55] RUD**
You called them combat homunculi.
**[04:58] RUD**
Do they not have emotions
or self-awareness like you?
**[05:01] SAMIMINA**
No.
**[05:02] SAMIMINA**
Their only goal is to carry out
their order to kill us fugitives.
**[05:09] RUD**
I see.
**[05:11] RUD/ID**
*Then, they have to be defeated.*
**[05:14] RUD/ID**
*They may be homunculi, but still...*
**[05:16] RUD/ID**
*No, that's* why *it pains me more.*
**[05:19] RUD/ID**
* Perhaps they could've innocently*
* laughed and cried like Luna.*
**[05:26] AMON**
Having trouble fighting?
**[05:28] RUD**
Amon.
**[05:29] AMON**
They're no different from dolls.
**[05:33] AMON**
They're merely creations that have
been granted some semblance of life.
**[05:37] RUD/ID**
* Her words are cold, but she's trying*
* to be considerate of my feelings.*
**[05:46] RUD/ID**
*They're not very fast.*
**[05:51] RUD/ID**
* Losing an arm doesn't*
* stop them from charging in.*
**[05:54] RUD/ID**
* They can attack like that*
* because they're homunculi.*
**[06:05] RUD/ID**
*I can't react in time.*
**[06:09] RUD/ID**
* But unlike last time,*
* I have my absorb shield.*
**[06:13] RUD/ID**
*My body feels twice as light as normal.*
**[06:22] RUD**
It's over.
**[06:24] NIN**
Rud, I've healed everyone.
**[06:27] RUD**
So, uh...
**[06:29] RUD**
Your friend is at a place
that's sort of like my home.
**[06:33] RUD**
Would you like to come, too?
**[06:36] RUD/ID**
* Some seem anxious. Some are hostile.*
* There's a whole range of reactions on show.*
**[06:41] RUD/ID**
*It is what it is.*
**[06:42] RUD/ID**
* Judging by their appearance,*
* they've likely had awful lives.*
**[06:46] RUD/ID**
*They might even hate humans.*
**[06:49] SAMIMINA**
Excuse me.
**[06:50] SAMIMINA**
If you're offering, would it
be all right if we went there?
**[06:54] SAMIMINA**
Honestly, I don't like humans.
**[06:58] SAMIMINA**
But some of us are injured,
and we have nowhere to go.
**[07:07] RUD/ID**
* After rescuing the homunculi,*
* we took them back to our clan house.*
**[07:14] NIN**
Well, that's taken care of for now.
**[07:16] NIN**
You know, it's great that
we took them in, but what now?
**[07:20] NIN**
They're homunculi from Brunkels.
**[07:23] NIN**
We'll have to speak with the
bailiff at the manor house.
**[07:26] NIN**
The news will eventually reach
the nation's higher ups, too.
**[07:29] NIN**
We won't be able to keep them safe.
**[07:32] NIN**
The townsfolk might be wary of them, too.
**[07:35] RUD**
I know.
**[07:37] RUD**
Avancia's bailiff is friendly.
**[07:38] LUNA**
Don't worry.
**[07:40] RUD**
I'm sure he'll hear us out.
**[07:44] FAIR**
Excuse me.
**[07:46] FAIR**
Thank you for saving us earlier.
My name is Fair.
**[07:50] FAIR**
Are you off to see your town's leader?
**[07:53] RUD**
Uh, yeah.
**[07:54] FAIR**
In that case, want me to tag along?
**[07:56] RUD**
What?
**[07:56] FAIR**
It'll be quickest if one of us
speaks to him directly.
**[08:00] FAIR**
He'll probably want to know
what's happening in Brunkels, too.
**[08:04] RUD**
But he might be wary of you.
**[08:07] FAIR**
Then you can bind my hands and feet.
**[08:11] FAIR**
I don't intend to sit and do nothing
after you've saved us.
**[08:15] FAIR**
I'll tell them everything I can.
**[08:19] RUD**
Fine.
**[08:20] RUD**
But we don't have to bind
your hands and feet.
**[08:24] FAIR**
Oh, in that case...
**[08:28] TOWNSFOLK A**
I don't recognize her.
**[08:29] TOWNSFOLK B**
I heard some people with magic stones
were taken to the clan house.
**[08:34] TOWNSFOLK C**
Maybe that girl with Rud
is a homunculus.
**[08:37] TOWNSFOLK D**
Is everything okay?
**[08:40] FAIR**
Um, Rud...
**[08:42] RUD**
What is it?
**[08:43] FAIR**
You're holding my hand
as a form of restraint,
**[08:46] FAIR**
but we drew attention
to ourselves instead.
**[08:49] FAIR**
I'm sorry if I've caused you trouble.
**[08:52] RUD**
It's no trouble at all.
**[08:53] FAIR**
What?
**[08:54] RUD**
I should be apologizing to you.
**[08:56] RUD**
The people of Avancia have never
encountered homunculi like you before.
**[09:01] RUD**
They don't mean any harm.
**[09:03] FAIR**
No, it's fine.
**[09:05] FAIR**
We were prepared for this
when we left that country.
**[09:11] RUD**
I see.
**[09:15] RUD**
Also, you don't need to
force yourself to smile.
**[09:19] RUD**
At the very least, not around me.
**[09:22] FAIR**
Okay.
**[09:26] BAILIFF**
I see. I understand the situation.
**[09:31] BAILIFF**
It sounds like you've
been through a lot, Fair.
**[09:36] BAILIFF**
So that country really was
creating homunculi after all.
**[09:40] RUD**
You knew, sir?
**[09:42] BAILIFF**
Only rumors. It sounds like they treat
their homunculi rather poorly.
**[09:49] RUD**
Would it be possible for the town
to offer them protection?
**[09:53] BAILIFF**
The town?
**[09:55] RUD**
I'm asking partly because
they have nowhere to go,
**[09:58] RUD**
but more than anything, the homunculi
could provide the manpower we lack.
**[10:03] BAILIFF**
What? You intend to put
the homunculi to work?
**[10:06] RUD**
I do. They're sentient, just like her.
**[10:09] RUD**
They can think and act for themselves.
**[10:14] BAILIFF**
Well, I can tell from observing
this girl that you're right.
**[10:19] BAILIFF**
They're no different from humans.
**[10:21] BAILIFF**
They're expressive, too.
**[10:26] BAILIFF**
Let me ask you a question, Fair.
**[10:28] BAILIFF**
A broad variety of homunculi are created,
**[10:34] BAILIFF**
from commanders capable of thought like you,
to fighters who specialize in combat.
**[10:41] BAILIFF**
Do you have any idea *why* homunculus
technology is so oddly advanced?
**[10:45] FAIR**
Apparently, it's due to a
demon king named Greed,
**[10:50] FAIR**
who showed up in Brunkels
about 20 years ago.
**[10:53] BAILIFF**
A demon king?
**[10:54] BAILIFF**
What is a demon king, an entity thought
to be fictional, doing in Brunkels?
**[10:58] FAIR**
I don't know the exact reason,
**[11:01] FAIR**
but it seems homunculus technology has
improved significantly by Greed's hand.
**[11:09] FAIR**
Homunculi like us are
being mass-produced.
**[11:15] BAILIFF**
I understand the situation.
**[11:16] BAILIFF**
I'll pass on what you've just
shared with us to the state.
**[11:19] BAILIFF**
Also, Avancia will provide
you with protection.
**[11:24] FAIR**
Thank you.
**[11:27] FAIR**
Looks like we get to stay
in the town for now.
**[11:30] RUD**
Yeah. You'll be kept
under supervision, though.
**[11:35] FAIR**
I know.
**[11:36] RUD**
Oh, right. There was this one girl who was
fighting the combat homunculi in the forest.
**[11:41] FAIR**
Oh, you mean Samimina?
**[11:44] FAIR**
She's fairly strong for a commander.
**[11:48] FAIR**
I think she'll be a great asset
in battle if it comes to that.
**[11:52] FAIR**
She's a bit standoffish,
but she's caring and has a heart of gold.
**[11:56] RUD**
Yeah, I can kind of tell.
**[11:59] FX**
Tee-hee
**[11:59] FX**
Tee-hee
**[12:00] FAIR**
We've been treated really badly,
so some of us hate humans.
**[12:06] FAIR**
But you saved us.
**[12:08] FAIR**
After coming here, I think we've realized
some humans are kind to homunculi.
**[12:16] FAIR**
So things may not go smoothly right away,
but I'm sure they'll understand eventually.
**[12:22] RUD**
You're right.
**[12:26] RUD/ID**
*Is there anything I can do for them?*
**[12:32] RUD**
Anyway, the town will officially
be offering you its protection.
**[12:37] RUD**
And I'd like to find jobs for all of you.
**[12:41] RUD**
What are you good at?
**[12:43] FAIR**
I don't know if we're any *good* at it,
**[12:45] FAIR**
but in Brunkels, we made clothes and weapons
and helped construct needed structures.
**[12:49] FAIR**
We even built entire towns.
**[12:51] RUD**
That's incredible.
So you can do anything, huh?
**[12:55] FAIR**
But Samimina's better at
fighting than making things.
**[13:01] HOMUNCULUS A**
No. I don't want to.
**[13:03] HOMUNCULUS B**
We're gonna be treated badly again.
**[13:05] HOMUNCULUS C**
We'll get whipped.
**[13:07] HOMUNCULUS D**
I don't want to work under humans.
**[13:09] RUD/ID**
* Of course. The homunculi have been*
* working in terrible conditions until now.*
**[13:14] RUD/ID**
* I should've alleviated*
* their anxieties first.*
**[13:17] RUD**
By work, I meant under
reasonable conditions.
**[13:21] HOMUNCULUS A**
For how long?
**[13:22] RUD**
Generally from 9 AM to 6 PM.
Naturally, you'll get breaks, too.
**[13:28] FAIR**
That's...
**[13:28] SAMIMINA**
So short.
**[13:29] HOMUNCULUS B**
I don't believe it!
**[13:30] HOMUNCULUS C**
We can take breaks?
**[13:31] HOMUNCULUS D**
We won't get in trouble later?
**[13:33] RUD/ID**
* Their circumstances*
* must've been really awful.*
**[13:36] RUD**
The specific nature and hours of
your work are yet to be determined,
**[13:40] RUD**
but for now, thank you.
**[13:42] SAMIMINA**
Huh?
**[13:43] RUD**
What's wrong?
**[13:44] SAMIMINA**
Well, um...
**[13:46] SAMIMINA**
Where we're from, nobody thanks
homunculi. I was just surprised.
**[13:51] RUD**
I see.
**[13:53] MANICIA**
Jobs for the homunculi?
Then, how about this?
**[13:58] MANICIA**
Building the public baths.
**[14:00] NIN**
Good idea.
**[14:02] RUD**
There's the theater and town guard, too,
but I guess the baths come first.
**[14:06] NIN**
The reek the adventurers
give off is pretty unpleasant.
**[14:09] RUD**
Yeah, some of them
seriously don't wash properly.
**[14:14] RUD**
Okay, they can build the public baths.
**[14:16] RUD**
Manicia, could you write up
a proposal for the bailiff?
**[14:19] MANICIA**
Sure.
**[14:23] NIN**
By the way...
**[14:25] NIN**
Have you noticed that
Luna's been acting odd?
**[14:27] RUD**
She has?
**[14:28] NIN**
Yeah.
**[14:30] (Flashback) LUNA**
May I stay with the homunculi
in the clan house for a few days?
**[14:36] NIN**
She seems awfully interested
in the homunculi.
**[14:39] NIN**
She still hasn't left the second floor.
**[14:41] NIN**
Does she have some
attachment to homunculi?
**[14:50] RUD**
Luna.
**[14:51] LUNA**
Master.
**[14:52] RUD**
I'll help.
**[14:54] LUNA**
Is something the matter?
**[14:55] RUD**
Oh, well, actually...
**[14:58] RUD**
I wanted to talk to you for a bit.
**[15:01] LUNA**
What?
**[15:02] RUD**
We've been busy ever since
the homunculi arrived,
**[15:07] RUD**
so I thought it'd be good for us to chat.
**[15:11] LUNA**
Um, okay.
**[15:12] LUNA**
It sounds like they'll be constructing the
public baths, but what about *after* that?
**[15:19] LUNA**
Won't they be deemed unnecessary
once they're complete?
**[15:21] RUD**
Don't worry.
**[15:23] RUD**
I'm in charge of all that.
**[15:26] LUNA**
I see.
**[15:28] RUD**
Luna, are you okay? You've been spending
all your time with the homunculi recently.
**[15:33] RUD**
I'm told you ask them
about their time in Brunkels.
**[15:36] LUNA**
Well, you see, I consider myself
very fortunate that you took me in.
**[15:45] RUD/ID**
* Maybe Luna doesn't remember*
* much of her life over there.*
**[15:50] RUD/ID**
* She was probably shocked to hear*
* what the homunculi had to say.*
**[15:56] RUD**
Come to think of it, have you told
the others that you're a homunculus?
**[16:03] LUNA**
No, I haven't told anyone.
**[16:05] LUNA**
Telling someone could
cause trouble for you.
**[16:10] RUD**
I see. I didn't realize you had
waited this long to tell them.
**[16:14] RUD**
You should've told them sooner.
**[16:17] LUNA**
You're right, but...
**[16:19] LUNA**
Someday, when the people of this
town no longer fear homunculi,
**[16:24] LUNA**
I'd like to tell them the truth.
**[16:26] LUNA**
To that end, I'll do my very best to
make sure everyone finds happiness soon.
**[16:33] RUD**
I know you can do it.
**[16:35] RUD**
You'll be fine.
**[16:38] RUD**
I'm glad I rescued you.
I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
**[16:42] LUNA**
Master...
**[16:51] LUNA**
Thank you.
**[16:55] RUD/ID**
* In order to solve the problems*
* of Luna and the new homunculi,*
**[16:58] RUD/ID**
*there are questions I need answered.*
**[17:01] AMON**
You looking for someone?
**[17:04] RUD**
Yeah. Amon, you—
**[17:05] AMON**
Rud! You came all the way
here to look for me?
**[17:10] AMON**
Does this mean you've fallen
head over heels for me?
**[17:13] RUD**
Hey, get off me.
**[17:15] AMON**
Ouch.
**[17:17] AMON**
How dare you, Rud!
What if my students saw that?
**[17:21] RUD**
Students?
**[17:23] AMON**
I've started giving magic lessons.
**[17:25] AMON**
After all, I've got nothing else to do.
**[17:27] RUD**
There's plenty of work to be done
around here, especially construction work.
**[17:32] AMON**
The homunculi can do all that.
**[17:34] AMON**
I only do things that are fun for me.
**[17:40] AMON**
My students will learn magic
directly from a demon king.
**[17:44] AMON**
They're all future potential demon kings.
**[17:46] RUD**
Oh, right. I wanted to ask you
about a demon king.
**[17:50] AMON**
About me?
**[17:51] RUD**
No, the demon king known as Greed.
**[17:54] RUD**
I heard it was Greed who taught the nation
of Brunkels how to create homunculi.
**[18:00] AMON**
Hm, well, he's always
loved doing research.
**[18:05] AMON**
It wouldn't surprise me if he knew
about homunculus technology, too.
**[18:10] RUD**
Apparently, they're still mass-producing
homunculi. Any clue why?
**[18:15] RUD**
Is he planning to invade?
**[18:17] AMON**
I doubt he'd do anything like that.
**[18:21] RUD**
Then, why?
**[18:23] AMON**
Probably to pass the time.
**[18:26] RUD**
To pass the time?
**[18:30] AMON**
Demon kings have unlimited lifespans.
**[18:32] AMON**
Even if we die, we eventually
return to life in the same form.
**[18:37] AMON**
We're practically immortal.
**[18:40] AMON**
Apparently, when we die, we lose our
memories, then wake up someplace later.
**[18:45] AMON**
On rare occasions, some of us
recall our forgotten memories,
**[18:48] AMON**
but most stay lost forever.
**[18:51] AMON**
Since demon kings are immortal, we look
for pastimes we can devote ourselves to.
**[18:58] RUD**
So Greed chose homunculus creation
as his way to spend his long life?
**[19:04] AMON**
Not quite.
**[19:08] AMON**
Greed has always been trying
to create the ultimate power.
**[19:12] AMON**
Homunculus research is just
one way he's trying to achieve that.
**[19:18] RUD**
Create the ultimate power?
**[19:20] RUD**
From what I've heard so far, illegal
homunculi seem pretty close to being that.
**[19:26] AMON**
Is that what you think
as one who's also close?
**[19:29] RUD**
What?
**[19:31] AMON**
The power you possess is
something Greed failed to achieve,
**[19:35] AMON**
even after years of research.
**[19:37] AMON**
Enhancement through the
demonic power of mana,
**[19:40] AMON**
and through the divine power
of the absorb shield.
**[19:43] AMON**
Greed concluded that whoever possessed
both would be the ultimate power.
**[19:49] AMON**
You used both in your fight against me.
**[19:53] RUD**
Are you talking about that power?
**[19:55] RUD**
I get that Greed seeks ultimate power,
**[19:59] RUD**
but how did that lead him
to create homunculi?
**[20:02] AMON**
Probably so he could experiment on them.
**[20:08] RUD/ID**
* So Luna and the other homunculi were*
* simply created to be experimented on?*
**[20:12] RUD/ID**
* That's the reason they were*
* made to suffer like that?*
**[20:17] RUD/ID**
*You can't be serious.*
**[20:19] AMON**
Are you angry?
**[20:21] RUD**
Of course I am.
**[20:22] RUD**
Those kids have emotions.
**[20:24] RUD**
Nobody could forgive him
for such inhumane actions.
**[20:28] RUD**
Is Greed currently in
a labyrinth somewhere?
**[20:31] AMON**
What's this?
Are you planning to go defeat him?
**[20:33] AMON**
He's strong, you know.
**[20:35] AMON**
You may not be able to
defeat Greed, even at full strength.
**[20:41] AMON**
And even if you want to win,
your ultimate power may pose an issue.
**[20:47] AMON**
The raw material that forms mana
is produced by monsters.
**[20:50] AMON**
If you use too much of it,
it may turn you into one.
**[20:55] RUD**
So I should avoid using it?
**[20:58] AMON**
You must control it.
**[20:59] AMON**
Those who fail to control
their mana become monsters.
**[21:03] AMON**
But use it well...
**[21:07] AMON**
and you could even become a demon king.
**[21:10] RUD**
I'm not interested in
becoming a demon king.
**[21:14] AMON**
No?
**[21:16] AMON**
Well, my magic lesson is about to start.
**[21:19] AMON**
See you later, Rud.
**[21:27] RUD/ID**
* I need to get stronger so that I can*
* ward off Greed whenever he attacks.*
**[21:40] VOICE**
*Destroy it.*

Public Baths Opening Day
**[03:22] RUD**
As of today, the public baths are open.
**[03:26] TOWNSFOLK A**
The homunculi built this, right?
**[03:28] TOWNSFOLK B**
Is it safe?
**[03:31] RUD/ID**
*The townsfolk still aren't fully on board.*
**[03:36] ADVENTURER G**
So these are the public baths
I've heard so much about?
**[03:38] ADVENTURER I**
Homunculi are amazing.
**[03:41] RUD**
We'll be the baths' first visitors.
**[03:44] RUD**
I hope you guys are looking forward to it.
**[03:47] ADVENTURER**
We're first.
**[03:50] AMON**
I haven't enjoyed a sturdy bath
like this in a while.
**[03:54] NIN**
Do demon kings take baths?
**[03:56] AMON**
Of course we do. What do you think we are?
**[03:59] AMON**
We're not so different from
your average ordinary human.
**[04:02] NIN**
Is that right?
**[04:04] LILY**
Where's Luna?
**[04:06] NIN**
Oh, apparently, she doesn't
like being seen naked.
**[04:10] LILY**
I see.
**[04:12] LILY**
She might get used to the idea eventually.
**[04:14] LILY**
And when she does, we'll drag her in here.
**[04:17] NIN**
Oh, I intend to.
**[04:19] NIN**
Now then, let's enjoy these baths
to our hearts' content!
**[04:23] AMON**
Yeah.
**[04:24] MANICIA**
This place sure is huge.
**[04:26] MANICIA**
It's so impressive, I feel sort of nervous.
**[04:30] LILY**
Let's wash each other off, sister.
**[04:35] LILY**
Bubble cat ears.
**[04:36] LILY**
Hey, quit playing with the bubbles!
**[04:40] NIN**
Those two are acting
like their usual selves.
**[04:42] NIN**
Come on. Let's do it, too, Manicia.
**[04:45] MANICIA**
What?
**[04:45] NIN**
I've always wanted to wash with a friend,
like those two are doing.
**[04:50] MANICIA**
Really?
**[04:54] MANICIA**
Then, I'd be happy to help.
**[04:57] NIN**
All right!
**[04:57] AMON**
Wait a minute.
I want somebody to wash me, too.
**[05:01] NIN**
What should I do?
**[05:06] LILY**
The water's pretty hot.
**[05:08] LILIA**
Hey, quit swimming!
**[05:11] AMON**
Anyway, Nin...
**[05:13] AMON**
After all that transformation spell
practice in my magic lessons,
**[05:17] AMON**
it's a shame there's no mixed bathing here.
**[05:20] NIN**
Hey, Amon! That's supposed to be a secret.
**[05:24] MANICIA**
Mixed bathing? What transformation
magic would you use?
**[05:27] AMON**
She'd make her breasts—
**[05:29] NIN**
Amon.
**[05:31] NIN**
If you don't stop talking, I'll pack all of
your meals full of vegetables you hate.
**[05:35] AMON**
What?! I can't have that!
**[05:37] AMON**
Are you jealous because I have the largest
breasts out of all of Rud's close lady friends?!
**[05:44] LILY**
We heard that.
**[05:46] LILIA**
Why don't we confirm that claim?
**[05:48] AMON**
No... No, wait—
**[05:51] AMON**
Stop!
**[05:57] NIN**
They're so soft!
**[05:58] AMON**
Let go of me!
**[06:00] LILY**
This is what you get
for opening your mouth.
**[06:03] LILY**
Wow. Not even my sister's are like these.
**[06:05] LILIA**
Lily, don't say that.
**[06:07] AMON**
I'm sorry, okay? Please forgive me!
**[06:12] NIN**
What is it, Manicia?
**[06:15] MANICIA**
Nothing. I was just thinking I can
finally hang out with others, too.
**[06:23] LILIA**
You're feeling a lot better, huh?
**[06:26] MANICIA**
Yes.
**[06:27] LILY**
And over time, you'll be able to do even more.
**[06:31] MANICIA**
You're right.
**[06:33] ADVENTURER G**
Forgive us!
**[06:35] ADVENTURER I**
We're begging you!
**[06:37] LILIA**
It's awfully noisy over in the men's bath.
**[06:40] ADVENTURER G**
Please, Rud!
**[06:42] ADVENTURER G**
Ain't nothing wrong
with a little peeping!
**[06:43] ADVENTURER I**
We're just gonna drill
a *tiny* hole in the wall!
**[06:46] RUD**
There's no way I'm letting you
do that! Manicia is in there.
**[06:49] RUD**
And Marius, why are you
trying to peep on them, too?
**[06:52] MARIUS**
I don't care about the peeping.
**[06:54] MARIUS**
I'm just loving this thrilling tension.
**[06:57] RUD**
Don't say that openly!
**[06:58] ADVENTURER G**
Please! I want to see Lily's boobs!
**[07:01] ADVENTURER I**
I want to see Manici—
**[07:02] LILY**
Are they trying to peep
on the women's baths?
**[07:05] LILIA**
I'll kill them.
**[07:06] NIN**
Wait, wait. Amon, help me restrain them.
**[07:09] ADVENTURER H**
Come on, Rud. We're all guys here.
Let's not fight about this anymore.
**[07:13] ADVENTURER J**
Yeah. By the way, I want to see Ms. Nin!
**[07:16] ADVENTURER J**
She doesn't have boobs,
but I still want to see her naked!
**[07:21] NIN**
Who just said that?
**[07:24] MANICIA**
Ms. Nin, calm down.
**[07:26] RUD**
That's enough, you guys.
**[07:29] RUD**
Listen up.
**[07:30] RUD**
All the girls you just mentioned
are roughly the same size.
**[07:34] RUD**
You'll have to make do with imagining them.
**[07:37] AMON**
Uh-oh.
**[07:44] FAIR**
How was it, Rud?
**[07:45] RUD**
Amazing. Keeping the adventurers
in check was a hassle, though.
**[07:51] CHILD A**
Rud.
**[07:53] TOWNSFOLK A**
Was there anything dangerous in there?
**[07:55] RUD**
It was fine. It really is a good—
**[07:57] ADVENTURER G**
That felt amazing.
**[07:59] ADVENTURER I**
Yeah.
**[08:00] ADVENTURER H**
They must like their water hot in the next
nation over. I might develop a liking for it.
**[08:04] ADVENTURER G**
That handmade soap was great, too.
**[08:08] RUD**
See? The adventurers
who came out seemed happy.
**[08:12] SAMIMINA**
Um, excuse me.
**[08:17] SAMIMINA**
You're welcome to visit anytime.
**[08:19] SAMIMINA**
We hope you'll stop by soon.
**[08:26] TOWNSFOLK A**
Yeah, sure.
**[08:29] TOWNSFOLK B**
The people who went in there seemed happy
with their visit. Why don't we try it, too?
**[08:34] TOWNSFOLK C**
Was that nice smell from the adventurers
the soap they mentioned?
**[08:38] CHILD B**
Mom, let's go in, too.
**[08:41] FAIR**
Entry is free today, so please stop by.
**[08:44] TOWNSFOLK B**
Then, maybe I'll try it.
**[08:48] RUD**
Manicia, how were the baths?
**[08:51] MANICIA**
Well, the bath itself was nice.
**[08:55] NIN**
But I feel like we were
all collectively mocked.
**[09:01] RUD**
Huh?
**[09:01] MARIUS**
That was an impressive bath.
**[09:04] MARIUS**
Why, if it isn't the girls
who are easy to imagine.
**[09:08] LILIA**
Lily.
**[09:09] LILY**
Yes, sister.

**[09:21] TOWNSFOLK A**
Thank you for constructing
these public baths.
**[09:25] TOWNSFOLK D**
The water was great.
**[09:26] TOWNSFOLK C**
Thank you.
**[09:28] RUD/N**
*Thanks to the public baths,*
**[09:30] RUD/N**
*the townsfolk began accepting the homunculi.*
**[09:33] SAMIMINA**
Thank you. Come again.
**[09:36] RUD**
Samimina.
**[09:38] RUD**
Thanks for meeting me halfway.
**[09:46] SAMIMINA**
I did it for myself,
and I owed you a debt, too.
**[09:49] RUD**
Even so.
**[09:52] ADVENTURER K**
Rud!
**[09:53] RUD**
What is it? Are the
adventurers fighting again?
**[09:56] ADVENTURER K**
An huge horde of monsters
is bearing down on Avancia!
**[10:03] ADVENTURER G**
Apparently, a ton of monsters
are heading this way.
**[10:06] ADVENTURER I**
The guild issued an urgent
request to all adventurers.
**[10:10] ADVENTURER H**
The town guard can't handle
this horde themselves.
**[10:16] RUD/ID**
*This should be enough people.*
**[10:20] RUD**
Everyone, the horde of monsters
appears to number over 150,
**[10:24] RUD**
but we have nothing to fear.
**[10:26] RUD**
We're just as strong as they are.
**[10:29] ADVENTURER J**
Are we?
**[10:31] RUD**
You all know which
labyrinth we conquered.
**[10:36] RUD**
Yes, the Keild Labyrinth that not even
the two major clans could overcome.
**[10:42] RUD**
Any adventurer taking part
should count themselves lucky.
**[10:46] RUD**
They'll receive a hefty reward for
simply defeating a single monster.
**[10:51] RUD**
Now, who will take on this urgent request?
**[11:00] LILIA**
Nice speech.
**[11:02] LILIA**
It reminded me of the ball at Keild.
**[11:05] RUD**
I fudged the numbers a little.
**[11:07] RUD**
The estimate's actually 300, right?
**[11:10] LILIA**
Over 100, it becomes
impossible to count them.
**[11:13] LILA**
Besides, it just means you'll have
to work harder to take more down.
**[11:18] MARIUS**
Rud, do you have a minute?
**[11:20] MARIUS**
I've got a bad feeling about this.
**[11:22] AMON**
It seems a new labyrinth
has formed in the area.
**[11:25] RUD**
A new labyrinth?
**[11:27] AMON**
It's rather powerful, too.
**[11:30] RUD**
Does it have something to do
with the horde of monsters?
**[11:35] SIGN**
Points Consumed
**[11:35] AMON**
Maybe. They're probably cloning
the monsters inside the labyrinth,
**[11:37] SIGN**

**[11:42] RUD**
You can do that?
**[11:44] AMON**
It's certainly possible,
so we may see even more monsters.
**[11:48] RUD**
Got it.
**[11:50] AMON**
I'll support you with magic.
**[11:53] MARIUS**
And I'll cut them down on the front lines.
**[11:56] RUD**
Thanks, you two.
**[11:58] FAIR**
We'll provide support, too.
**[12:03] SAMIMINA**
You saved us that day.
**[12:07] SAMIMINA**
For you, we will become
your sword and defend this town.
**[12:13] RUD**
Samimina, you guys...
**[12:17] RUD**
Thank you for your help.
**[12:23] RUD**
Bayvern and Lufair, will you help, too?
**[12:26] RUD**
Good. There's something
I'd like you to do.
**[12:35] RUD/ID**
* We mustered all the defenses*
* we could in the time we had.*
**[12:40] ADVENTURER G**
Monsters sighted!
**[12:43] FILLE**
Everyone, take up your weapons!
**[12:45] FILLE**
When the monsters approach,
fire long-range spells and skills!
**[12:48] ALL**
Yeah!
**[13:03] ADVENTURER I**
Hey, now...
**[13:04] ADVENTURER H**
There might be more than 300 of them.
**[13:06] ADVENTURER J**
This can't be good.
**[13:07] RUD**
Don't back down.
**[13:09] RUD**
Look. The creatures
in front are just goblins.
**[13:12] RUD**
We have nothing to fear.
**[13:14] ALL**
R-Right.
**[13:15] FILLE**
Fire!
**[13:22] ADVENTURER F**
I think we got a decent number of them.
**[13:29] GUARD B**
What are those monsters?
**[13:33] GUARD C**
Those goblins are casting spells.
**[13:39] ADVENTURER I**
This is bad.
**[13:40] ADVENTURER I**
They're not ordinary
monsters after all. Run—
**[13:43] RUD**
Are you ready?
**[13:45] MARIUS**
Yeah. I'm ready to go anytime.
**[13:48] LILIALY**
We've completed our Fusion.
You can count on us.
**[13:51] RUD**
Then, let's go.
**[13:54] RUD**
Provoke!
**[13:59] ADVENTURER G**
He provoked all the goblins?
**[14:02] RUD**
Mana-Enhanced Strength!
**[14:06] ADVENTURER F**
He charged through to the center?
**[14:07] CINANIS**
Mr. Rud is amazing.
**[14:11] NIN**
Rud, behind you!
**[14:15] RUD**
I'm all right.
**[14:23] RUD**
I can see everything.
**[14:25] NIN**
Wow.
**[14:27] AMON**
He's using mana to detect
everything that's happening.
**[14:32] ADVENTURER F**
Let's follow up their attack.
**[14:34] FILLE**
Take this!
**[14:42] ADVENTURER I**
Okay, that's all of them.
**[14:44] ADVENTURER H**
It helped that Rud drew
the monsters to himself.
**[14:47] ADVENTURER J**
He's seriously unbelievable.
**[14:50] NIN**
I restored your absorb shield.
**[14:52] RUD**
Thanks.
**[14:54] RUD/ID**
* Since they all disappeared, that means*
* those monsters came from a labyrinth.*
**[15:01] RUD/ID**
*What's going on here?*
**[15:04] ADVENTURER G**
There's more!
**[15:05] ADVENTURER G**
Another horde of monsters is coming!
**[15:08] ADVENTURER I**
After all the ones
we defeated, there's more?
**[15:11] ADVENTURER H**
They have ogres with them this time.
**[15:13] RUD**
Stay calm.
**[15:14] ADVENTURER I**
B-But...
**[15:16] RUD**
It's all right.
**[15:18] RUD**
We will definitely win.
**[15:22] ADVENTURER G**
Even more monsters are coming!
**[15:26] ADVENTURER G**
Fieldasaurus and chameleon kongs?
**[15:28] ADVENTURER G**
Those are monsters
from Avancia's Labyrinth.
**[15:31] ADVENTURER I**
What are they doing out here?
**[15:33] ADVENTURER H**
We're screwed!
**[15:39] ADVENTURER H**
The monsters are attacking the
other monsters? What's going on?
**[15:44] RUD**
They're finally here.
**[15:47] (Flashback) RUD**
Make as many copies of Avancia's Labyrinth's
monsters as you can and have them back us up.
**[15:53] RUD**
*Bayvern and Lufair did a good job.*
**[15:57] RUD**
It's all right, everyone. The monsters from
Avancia's Labyrinth are under my control.
**[16:02] RUD**
They're on our side.
**[16:03] ADVENTURER H**
Our side?
**[16:05] ADVENTURER I**
Seriously?
**[16:05] RUD**
I'm charging in with the monsters.
**[16:08] RUD**
Everyone else, back us up like last time.
**[16:10] ADVENTURERS**
Yeah!
**[16:12] RUD**
Provoke!
**[16:24] CINANIS**
He's surrounded by ogres.
**[16:26] ADVENTURER F**
This can't be good.
**[16:31] ADVENTURER H**
The labyrinth's monsters
are helping us humans.
**[16:35] ADVENTURER H**
I can't wrap my head
around how amazing that is.
**[16:41] HOMUNCULUS A**
You were amazing, Mr. Rud.
**[16:43] HOMUNCULUS B**
We had no idea you were so strong.
**[16:46] RUD**
Not at all. I couldn't have endured
all that without everyone else's help.
**[16:50] MILENA**
Good work, everyone.
**[16:52] MILENA**
We brought you some spinach.
**[16:55] GRANDMA GIGI**
Speak up if you're injured.
**[16:57] RAISIL**
I'll repair any broken weapons
free of charge.
**[17:04] GRANDMA GIGI**
Thank you for protecting the town.
**[17:09] AMON**
That was impressive.
**[17:11] RUD**
Amon.
**[17:12] AMON**
Replicating your own labyrinth monsters
like the enemy was a smart move.
**[17:17] RUD**
I figured if they can do it,
we must be able to, too.
**[17:22] RUD**
But right now, conquering the
newly-formed labyrinth comes first.
**[17:26] RUD**
I can't ignore a dangerous labyrinth
that would send out this many monsters.
**[17:32] AMON**
You're right. He'll probably
send even more monsters next time.
**[17:38] RUD**
"He"?
**[17:40] AMON**
The newly-formed labyrinth probably
belongs to Greed the demon king.
**[17:47] RUD**
*Greed the demon king.*
**[17:51] AMON**
I sense his mana nearby.
**[17:55] RUD**
Then, we should conquer
Greed's labyrinth quickly...
**[18:01] RUD**
so that nothing like this
can ever happen again.
**[18:07] AMON**
Rud, what do you intend to do
after you defeat Greed?
**[18:13] AMON**
Will you try to recruit him like you did me?
**[18:17] RUD**
I'm... not sure. I can't
forgive him for what he's done.
**[18:22] RUD**
The homunculi wouldn't like that, either.
**[18:25] AMON**
Then, will you kill him?
**[18:27] RUD**
There are things about Brunkels
that only Greed knows.
**[18:31] RUD**
I'd prefer to capture him alive.
**[18:34] AMON**
Then, use these.
**[18:37] AMON**
These shackles have the ability
to suppress a demon king's abilities.
**[18:41] AMON**
They're similar to the
Slave's Armband I mentioned before.
**[18:44] AMON**
They will be useful in your next raid.
**[18:47] RUD**
Thank you for everything.
**[18:50] AMON**
It's fine. I enjoy living here, after all.
**[18:54] MARIUS**
Okay. Let's head there right away.
**[18:57] RUD**
No.
**[18:58] RUD**
The raid will be me,
Nin, Luna, Lilia, Lily...
**[19:04] RUD**
and Samimina.
**[19:06] SAMIMINA**
What?
**[19:07] RUD**
Samimina, you're good in a fight.
**[19:09] RUD**
I want to see you demonstrate
your strength in Greed's labyrinth, too.
**[19:14] SAMIMINA**
Very well.
**[19:15] MARIUS**
What is this about, Rud?
Why kick me out of the group?
**[19:19] RUD**
I'm sorry.
**[19:20] RUD**
Marius, stay here and
lead the adventurers.
**[19:23] RUD**
Amon, I'd like you to command
the magic support squad.
**[19:26] MARIUS**
No! I want to fight, too!
**[19:30] RUD**
We learned from this battle that Greed is
systematically sending monsters our way.
**[19:35] RUD**
The monsters will probably keep coming
even after we've entered the labyrinth.
**[19:41] RUD**
You're on good terms
with the adventurers,
**[19:44] RUD**
and they trust you
as the clan's sub-leader.
**[19:48] RUD**
You're the only one I can trust to
navigate such a dangerous battlefield.
**[19:56] MARIUS**
Then, it can't be helped.
**[19:58] MARIUS**
Don't worry about the town.
**[20:00] MARIUS**
Whatever comes our way, we'll defeat it.
**[20:04] AMON**
You can count on me to command the rear.
**[20:08] RUD**
Thanks, you two.
**[20:13] RUD**
That battle confirmed that
there is a labyrinth nearby.
**[20:18] RUD**
We're off to raid that labyrinth.
**[20:23] RUD**
If more monsters show up,
defend the town with Avancia's monsters.
**[20:29] ALL**
Yeah!
**[20:36] SAMIMINA**
Excuse me.
**[20:37] RUD**
What is it?
**[20:38] SAMIMINA**
Is Greed the demon king really inside
the labyrinth we're about to raid?
**[20:43] RUD**
Probably.
**[20:46] RUD**
So you know about Greed.
**[20:49] SAMIMINA**
Of course I do. There isn't a homunculus
who doesn't know that name.
**[20:55] RUD**
I see. Don't strain yourself, though.
**[21:00] SAMIMINA**
Right.
**[21:06] RUD**
What's up with this labyrinth?
**[21:09] RUD**
There's nothing here.
**[21:11] LILY**
I'll cast a detection spell.
**[21:17] LILY**
There doesn't seem to be anything here.
**[21:20] RUD**
Then, let's search for the next floor.
**[21:23] LILY**
Actually, I didn't detect a magic circle
leading to the next floor either.
**[21:27] RUD**
What? But that means...
**[21:29] RUD**
Is this the bottom floor of the labyrinth?
**[21:35] RUD/ID**
*What is this tremendous mana?*
**[21:39] FAKE GREED**
Please, there's no need to be so hostile.
**[21:47] FAKE GREED**
My name is Greed.

**[02:08] NIN**
Rud, stay calm.
**[02:11] RUD**
*She's right. I need to calm down.*
**[02:14] RUD**
Sorry, but it's impossible to conquer
Avancia with the forces you've prepared.
**[02:18] FAKE GREED**
Is it? I have practically unlimited points
I can use to summon monsters.
**[02:26] FAKE GREED**
I believe it's only a matter of time.
**[02:28] RUD**
We'll defeat you and destroy this
labyrinth before that happens.
**[02:35] FAKE GREED**
By the way, I've been wondering...
**[02:40] FAKE GREED**
Those two over there are
homunculi, aren't they?
**[02:46] ALL**
What?
**[02:50] SAMIMINA**
Ms. Luna, a homunculus? What are you—
**[02:54] LUNA**
Yes.
**[02:57] LUNA**
So what?
**[03:01] FAKE GREED**
Oh, forgive me. I'm just a bit excited.
**[03:05] FAKE GREED**
You've grown so much more than
I've ever seen in all of my research.
**[03:11] FAKE GREED**
Who knew living in the outside world
would have this effect on a homunculus?
**[03:16] FAKE GREED**
Well? How do you feel
about returning to me?
**[03:23] LUNA**
My master is Mr. Rud and Mr. Rud alone!
**[03:30] NIN**
Luna, Rud. Why didn't you tell us?
**[03:36] RUD**
Sorry.
**[03:40] LUNA**
I'm sorry for hiding it—
**[03:42] NIN**
Honestly.
**[03:44] NIN**
You'd better explain yourself later.
**[03:49] NIN**
Luna.
**[03:51] LUNA**
Right!
**[03:54] FAKE GREED**
Good grief.
**[03:57] FAKE GREED**
Now then...
**[04:05] FAKE GREED**
Perhaps I'll simply take
everything by force.
**[04:10] FAKE GREED**
I've never liked this form much.
**[04:19] RUD**
*So heavy.*
**[04:20] RUD**
* But if I strengthen*
* my entire body with mana...*
**[04:32] RUD**
Samimina, fall back!
**[04:39] RUD**
Are you okay?
**[04:44] SAMIMINA**
Forget about me. Did you absorb
the damage I took just now?
**[04:48] RUD**
Yeah.
**[04:49] SAMIMINA**
That isn't necessary.
**[04:51] SAMIMINA**
I live to protect the homunculi.
**[04:55] SAMIMINA**
Consider me expendable.
**[04:59] RUD**
You'd be willing to die to defeat Greed?
**[05:02] SAMIMINA**
Yes.
**[05:05] RUD**
In that case...
**[05:07] RUD**
stay out of this fight.
**[05:10] RUD**
I don't want anyone to die.
**[05:13] SAMIMINA**
I'm a homunculus. My life is worthless.
**[05:16] RUD**
Greed used your kind like tools.
**[05:20] RUD**
Do you really want me to become
the kind of human you hate?
**[05:25] RUD**
If you don't, then don't throw
your life away fighting. Got it?
**[05:34] FAKE GREED**
What's this?
**[05:35] FAKE GREED**
Is this really the time for chitchat?
**[05:39] BOTH**
Magic Shield.
**[05:43] FAKE GREED**
Impudent girls.
**[05:45] RUD**
Provoke!
**[05:47] FAKE GREED**
A skill? How aggravating.
**[05:59] LUNA**
I've nullified his magic.
**[06:01] FAKE GREED**
How dare you.
**[06:10] FAKE GREED**
You'll pay for that!
**[06:13] FAKE GREED**
L-Let go of me! Let go!
**[06:16] FAKE GREED**
I feel so weak. Wait, these shackles...
**[06:20] FAKE GREED**
Damn. Damn!
**[06:33] KYGLAS**
Life Burst!
**[06:38] ADVENTURER**
The Hero?
**[06:39] KYGLAS**
Stay sharp!
**[06:40] ADVENTURER**
R-Right.
**[06:43] KYGLAS**
You guys are doing well.
**[06:47] KYGLAS**
So act like it.
**[06:50] BOTH**
Got it.
**[06:58] ADVENTURER**
Incredible.
**[06:59] ADVENTURER**
Ms. Amon, help us fight.
**[07:02] AMON**
What? But I'm tired.
**[07:05] AMON**
I wish you'd all be quiet.
**[07:08] ADVENTURER**
Ms. Manicia said she was going to make
sweet donuts to reward you for your efforts.
**[07:15] ADVENTURER**
Maybe I should tell her she needn't bother
for someone who refuses to fight.
**[07:19] AMON**
Wh-What? Wh-Why didn't you say so sooner?
**[07:23] AMON**
I must join the fight.
**[07:27] AMON**
Pitiful beasts, return to darkness.
**[07:33] AMON**
Chat Magic Valnoir!
**[07:42] MARIUS**
Run!
**[07:54] RUD**
Whoa now. Try not to
destroy the town with them.
**[07:58] RUD**
Okay, let's bring Greed back to town.
**[08:04] RUD**
What's this?
**[08:05] RUD**
Do demon kings have
this kind of gem on their chests?
**[08:08] RUD**
No, wait. Could it be?
**[08:19] RUD**
*What* is *this?*
**[08:27] RUD**
* What we've faced so far*
* doesn't compare to this.*
**[08:42] RUD**
Are you the real Greed?
**[08:45] GREED**
Since it was copied from
my memories and abilities,
**[08:50] GREED**
that homunculus could be
considered "real" as well.
**[08:55] GREED**
Its abilities seem slightly inferior, though.
**[09:00] GREED**
My name is Greed.
**[09:02] GREED**
Nice to meet you.
**[09:04] GREED**
Though I suppose
greetings are unnecessary.
**[09:08] GREED**
After all, we'll be parting soon.
**[09:13] RUD**
*His attacks are fast.*
**[09:15] NIN**
Rud!
**[09:17] RUD**
I'm okay.
**[09:19] RUD**
* Even the tiniest movement*
* packs a real punch.*
**[09:24] RUD**
* I can't defeat him without*
* enhancing myself with more mana.*
**[09:35] NIN**
Rud!
**[09:42] NIN**
He's tougher than Amon.
**[09:44] BOTH**
Skill: Fusion.
**[09:52] LILIALY**
Don't worry. Keep it up.
**[10:04] SAMIMINA**
En garde!
**[10:07] LUNA**
Ms. Samimina!
**[10:10] SAMIMINA**
Thank you.
**[10:17] RUD**
Get back in formation.
**[10:22] RUD**
What's this?
**[10:30] LUNA**
Master!
**[10:35] RUD**
That took a chunk
out of my absorb shield.
**[10:38] LILIALY**
I'll draw his attention.
**[10:39] LILIALY**
Heal Rud in the meantime.
**[10:41] NIN**
Got it.
**[10:46] RUD**
* Even as Lilialy,*
* Greed has them on the defensive.*
**[10:51] RUD**
* Our best shot at winning is to wait for*
* a chance to land a single powerful blow.*
**[10:58] RUD**
Provoke!
**[11:07] GREED**
Pointless.
**[11:21] RUD**
*I've taken 20,000 damage so far.*
**[11:23] RUD**
*This will end the battle.*
**[11:26] RUD**
Life Conversion!
**[11:32] RUD**
Luna, Samimina, carry those two to Nin.
**[11:35] LUNA**
Right!
**[11:40] LUNA**
No way.
**[11:42] RUD**
*Lilia and Lily are out of the fight.*
**[11:46] RUD**
*What should we do?*
**[11:53] RUD**
* I'm not strong or fast enough to beat him*
* with my current mana enhancement.*
**[11:58] RUD**
* I need to focus more*
* of my mana on my body.*
**[12:11] RUD**
* Damn. I lost a huge chunk*
* of my absorb shield.*
**[12:16] RUD**
*But now, I can use Life Conversion again.*
**[12:20] RUD**
* I'll imbue my entire body with mana*
* and hit him with everything I've got.*
**[12:25] RUD**
Life Conversion!
**[12:33] NIN**
Rud!
**[12:37] RUD**
*Did he break my absorb shield?*
**[12:41] RUD**
* Even when I focus my mana on myself,*
* I'm in too much pain to move.*
**[12:47] RUD**
Run, guys!
**[12:53] RUD**
*What's going on?*
**[12:54] SAMIMINA**
Ms. Luna! Ms. Nin! Get behind me! Run!
**[12:56] RUD**
*Did Greed's attack knock me back?*
**[13:02] NIN**
Samimina!
**[13:03] RUD**
*Hurry.*
**[13:05] RUD**
*I must save the others.*
**[13:08] RUD**
*D-Damn. My mana won't...*
**[13:13] RUD**
*Hurry!*
**[13:17] RUD**
*All their shields are gone.*
**[13:33] RUD**
*Luna!*
**[13:35] RUD**
*At this rate, Luna and the others...*
**[13:40] RUD**
*Move.*
**[13:43] RUD**
*Please.*
**[13:45] RUD**
*Damn it!*
**[13:47] RUD**
*Pour all of your mana into your body.*
**[13:51] RUD**
* Ignore the pain*
* coursing through your body.*
**[13:54] RUD**
*Exceed your limits.*
**[13:56] RUD**
*I am...*
**[13:58] RUD**
*this party's tank!*
**[14:16] NIN**
Rud?
**[14:27] NIN**
Rud?
**[14:35] VOICE**
*Destroy it. Destroy it. Destroy it.*
**[14:37] RUD**
*I hear a voice echoing around my head.*
**[14:41] RUD**
*It's telling me to destroy everything.*
**[14:45] VOICE**
*Destroy it!*
**[15:01] RUD**
* I'll keep pouring my mana into my body*
* and pummel him until I destroy him.*
**[15:07] RUD**
*Again. And again. And again!*
**[15:15] RUD**
*This is so much fun.*
**[15:19] NIN**
Rud!
**[15:23] RUD**
*Who was that?*
**[15:26] RUD**
*I can't see clearly.*
**[15:28] RUD**
*Is there something else there?*
**[15:32] RUD**
*Then, I must destroy it.*
**[15:41] NIN**
Come to your senses.
**[15:45] RUD**
Nin?
**[15:46] NIN**
I hit you with a bit of magic.
**[15:48] NIN**
How do you feel? Back to normal?
**[15:50] RUD**
Uh, yeah.
**[15:53] RUD**
* I felt like I'd been*
* swallowed up by my own mana.*
**[15:57] RUD**
*That must've made me lose my senses.*
**[16:04] NIN**
Rud!
**[16:05] RUD**
My mana's acting on its own.
**[16:10] VOICE**
*Destroy it.*
**[16:12] (Flashback) AMON**
You must control it.
**[16:14] (Flashback) AMON**
Those who fail to control
their mana become monsters.
**[16:18] RUD**
*I've heard this voice before.*
**[16:23] RUD**
*It was...*
**[16:27] RUD**
*my voice all along.*
**[16:31] RUD**
* At this rate, I might transform*
* into a monster and lose control.*
**[16:36] NIN**
Rud.
**[16:37] RUD**
*Deep breaths. Repress your mana.*
**[16:44] NIN**
Rud!
**[16:48] NIN**
Rud.
**[16:50] RUD**
Thanks, Nin.
**[16:52] RUD**
Because of you,
I was able to repress my mana.
**[16:58] NIN**
I'm glad.
**[17:02] RUD**
* I can't afford to be swallowed up*
* by my mana right now.*
**[17:06] RUD**
*I have to protect the others.*
**[17:14] RUD**
Greed.
**[17:17] GREED**
The place you're defending
will soon be destroyed.
**[17:22] GREED**
I will wipe every last speck of it from
the face of this world, as I will you.
**[17:34] RUD**
Nin, I need you to do something.
**[17:36] RUD**
Keep casting healing magic on me.
**[17:40] NIN**
What?
**[17:41] RUD**
Don't stop for even a second.
**[17:43] RUD**
I'm going to put everything
into this attack.
**[17:48] RUD**
I know it's an unreasonable request, but...
**[17:50] NIN**
What are you talking about?
**[17:52] NIN**
I'm your party's healer.
**[17:56] NIN**
Do what you have to do.
**[17:58] RUD**
Right.
**[17:59] MARIUS**
*Keep fighting. Don't give up.*
**[18:02] KYGLAS**
*Life Burst!*
**[18:04] AMON**
* You'd need a century's more*
* experience to challenge me.*
**[18:08] MILENA**
* I've almost finished another sword.*
* Take it to the battlefield quickly.*
**[18:12] MANICIA**
* Make them your priority.*
* We need more bandages.*
**[18:19] RUD**
Greed.
**[18:21] RUD**
Thank you.
**[18:22] GREED**
What?
**[18:23] RUD**
The adventurers, the guards,
the homunculi, Marius, and Amon...
**[18:29] RUD**
My skill has detected that
they're all in the same place.
**[18:36] RUD**
Shield of Sacrifice!
**[18:40] ADVENTURER**
My body suddenly feels lighter.
**[18:42] ADVENTURER**
What is this?
**[18:43] FILLE**
My absorb shield stopped taking damage.
**[18:46] MARIUS**
Is this...
**[18:47] AMON**
Rud's skill?
**[18:50] RUD**
Greed.
**[18:52] RUD**
Because you showed me Avancia,
**[18:56] RUD**
I can take on the absorb shields
of everyone there.
**[19:05] RUD**
I, the world's strongest tank...
**[19:12] RUD**
will protect *all* of it!
**[19:19] RUD**
Life Conversion!
**[19:44] MANICIA**
Brother?
**[19:46] AMON**
Is it Rud?
**[19:47] FILLE**
He's back?
**[19:49] ADVENTURER**
It's Rud!
**[19:51] ADVENTURER**
Rud!
**[19:51] MANICIA**
Brother.
**[19:55] RUD**
Manicia. You guys.
**[19:58] MANICIA**
Brother.
**[20:04] MANICIA**
I knew you'd return.
**[20:09] RUD**
I always do.
**[20:14] MANICIA**
You're right.
**[20:17] MANICIA**
Welcome back, dear brother.
**[20:19] RUD**
I'm home, Manicia.
**[20:22] MARIUS**
Rud.
**[20:24] RUD**
Marius. Amon.
**[20:26] RUD**
You're all right.
**[20:27] MARIUS**
With so many to deal with,
we couldn't lead as well as you.
**[20:32] AMON**
But we managed to defend the town.
**[20:35] RUD**
Thanks, you two.
**[20:37] ALL**
Rud!
**[20:40] ADVENTURER**
You really conquered
that labyrinth in record time!
**[20:44] ADVENTURER**
Amazing!
**[20:45] RUD**
Guys.
**[20:47] RUD**
Because you were all protecting the town,
**[20:51] RUD**
we successfully destroyed the labyrinth.
**[20:54] RUD**
Thank you.
**[20:58] ADVENTURER**
Mr. Rud.
**[21:05] NIN**
Rud truly is...
**[21:07] ALL**
...the strongest tank!
**[23:05] RUD**
*I, Rud, am a tank.*
**[23:08] RUD**
*I was my party's shield.*
**[23:12] RUD**
* This is the story of how I turned it around,*
* became the protagonist,*
**[23:15] RUD**
* and will continue fighting*
* to protect everything.*
