[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.

[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?

[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. [20:20] RUD/M     Now for what I'm really after. [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.

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.

[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.

[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...

[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.

[07:42] 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.

[08:52] 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.

[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.

[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?

[00:07] 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.

[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.

[03:54] (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.

[06:33] 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.

[00:06] 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.

[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.

[05:28] 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.

[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.

[04:56] 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?

[00:17] 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.

[01:42] 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...

[05:38] 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?

[07:31] 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...

[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. [07:10] RUD     The 49th floor? [07:10] SIGN     Adventurers at Entrance [07:12] LILY     Yes. The labyrinth explorers     escorted me there.

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.

[00:10] 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?

[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.

[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. [07:37] SIGN     Keild Labyrinth: 1st Floor [07:37] SIGN     m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100 [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. [08:20] SIGN     m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100 [08:20] SIGN     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?

[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.

[00:42] 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.

[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.

[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     Points Consumed [11:38] SIGN     Points Consumed [11:38] SIGN     Points Consumed [11:38] SIGN     Points Consumed [11:39] SIGN     Points Consumed [11:39] SIGN     Points Consumed [11:40] SIGN     Points Consumed [11:40] AMON     then sending them out into the world. [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. E12 - Magic Power Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate.

[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.

[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.
