[02:14] Servant A
    I can't make your makeup
    look nice if you're crying.
[02:17] Girl A
    I'd prefer that.
[02:20] Girl A
    Don't make me look pretty.

    Six and a half million.
[03:20] Auctioneer
    Can I get seven million?
[03:22] ---
    Seven million.
[03:24] Auctioneer
    I have seven and a half million.
[03:28] Collide
    What a bunch of cheapskates.
[03:30] Collide
    Bid like you mean it.
[03:32] Butler
    We've already exceeded
    the cost of acquiring them.
[03:35] Butler
    You've made quite a profit, Lady Collide.
[03:39] Butler
    What "cost"? All you do is burn
    their villages to the ground.
[03:42] Butler
    She's a beautiful girl.
[03:43] Butler
    I wish I could keep her.
[03:46] Butler
    She'd better not be auctioned off for cheap.
[03:52] Girl A
    Please...
[03:54] Girl A
    Please let me go. I want to see my mother.
[03:57] Dia
    In that case, you should try to look pretty.
[04:01] Girl A
    Huh?
[04:02] Dia
    You're a girl, after all.

    Well, it should just about be my turn.

[04:43] Dia
    Are these men the target of this job?
[04:46] Dia
    They're obviously evil-looking men.
[04:49] Dia
    How many girls have they
    brought to tears until now?
[04:53] Dia
    Latem etaerc!
[04:59] Dia
    Now, then...
[05:00] Dia
    I'll show no mercy. Prepare yourselves.
[05:03] Dia
    Elfir etaerc!
[05:07] Dia
    Erif! Erif!
[05:12] Man A
    What the hell is going on?!
[05:15] Tarte
    Are there any among you who reluctantly
    followed Marquess Collide's orders
[05:18] ---
    because you had no other choice?
[05:22] Tarte
    Good. Then I can kill you
    without reservations.
[05:28] Man B
    You brat!
[05:30] Man D
    Damn kid!
[05:34] Man E
    You bitch!
[05:42] Tarte
    Flee with the others.
[05:43] Girl A
    I will.
[05:49] Dia
    Daoler! Erif!
[05:53] Collide
    Where are the guards?!
[05:55] Butler
    Th-They should arrive shortly.
[05:57] Dia
    Marquess Collide!
[06:04] Dia
    He's a magic-user!
[06:12] Tarte
    Erif!
[06:23] Dia
    Tarte, buy me time to chant.
[06:25] Tarte
    Yes, Dia-sama.
[06:29] Dia
    Tnemele noitceles, erif.
[06:33] Dia
    Aera thgie, egnar xis, rewop eerht.
[06:38] Tarte
    Daoler!
[06:40] Dia
    Erif cigam!
[06:45] Maha
    That's Dia and Tarte's signal.
[06:47] Maha
    Lugh-niisan, Marquess Collide
    was guilty after all.
[06:51] Lugh
    Thanks. Your information was correct, Maha.
[06:56] Maha
    When I followed the money,
    I discovered huge profits of unknown origin.
[07:01] Maha
    They attack villages while
    disguised as bandits
[07:03] ---
    and kidnap young girls to sell
    them off to other nobles.
[07:06] Maha
    It's unforgivable.
[07:08] Lugh
    Sending Dia and Tarte undercover
    was the right choice.
[07:11] Lugh
    It takes time to get evidence
    on a members-only auction.
[07:16] Lugh
    We wouldn't want the number of
    victims to rise in the meantime.
[07:16] Tarte
    Are you all right?
[07:18] Girl B
    Yes.
[07:18] Dia
    This way.
[07:19] Lugh
    They went too far when they attacked
    a village in a neighboring country.
[07:22] Lugh
    Banditry and human trafficking
    are serious crimes.
[07:26] Lugh
    By committing such crimes
    across national borders,
[07:28] Lugh
    they endangered international affairs.
[07:31] Lugh
    Target confirmed.
[07:33] Lugh
    In accordance with royal orders and the
    principles of the House of Tuatha Dé,
[07:37] ---
    Marquess Collide and those who participated
    in the sales shall be eliminated.
[07:45] Assistant
    Hit.
[07:46] Assassin
    Who are we eliminating next?
[07:49] Assistant
    McDonnell. He's 20 feet to the
    left in front of the sedan.
[07:53] Assistant
    Hit. Tommy and Jeffrey, 30 feet to the left.
[08:01] Assistant
    Hit. Yu Chen, 70 feet to the right.
[08:04] Assistant
    Crap. He hid behind the van.
[08:07] Assassin
    You should've told me that first.
[08:14] Assassin
    Mission complete.
[08:15] ---
    Let's get out of here.
[08:16] Assistant
    But there are still more mafia members.
[08:19] Assistant
    We could wipe them out now.
[08:21] Assassin
    The organization ordered
    us to assassinate six men.
[08:25] Assassin
    I'm not killing anyone else.
[08:27] Assistant
    There are still key people down there!
[08:30] Assistant
    If we let them live, the mafia
    will resume activity and—
[08:33] Assassin
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[08:34] Assassin
    We're not heroes of justice.
[08:38] Assassin
    We're tools of the organization.
[08:40] Assassin
    We don't do anything we're not ordered to do.
[08:41] Assistant
    But...
[08:42] Assassin
    If the organization wanted to wipe out the
    mafia, they would've ordered us to do so.
[08:47] Assassin
    Their goal is probably to leave the mafia's
    structure in place and replace its leaders.
[08:53] Assassin
    It's possible that members of the
    organization are undercover among them.
[08:57] Assassin
    We can't kill them without authorization.
[09:00] Assassin
    The mission went as planned. We're leaving.
[09:04] Assistant
    Yes, sir.
[09:15] Assassin
    Move.
[09:16] Assassin
    I'm driving.
[09:18] Assistant
    What's going on?
[09:22] Assassin
    We're fleeing.
[09:24] Assassin
    We've been spotted by an
    unmanned reconnaissance drone.
[09:28] Assistant
    It'll find us unless we turn off our lights.
[09:30] Assassin
    No matter. Ready your weapon.
[09:32] Assistant
    What are we going to do?
[09:33] Assassin
    Do as I say.
[09:35] Assassin
    The border guards are coming.
[09:50] Radio A
    Target vehicle spotted.
[09:51] Radio A
    Secure the vehicle.
[09:54] Guard
    Suspects have opened fire!
[09:56] Radio A
    Permission to engage granted.
[10:11] Assassin
    Once we're discovered by
    a drone, we're screwed.
[10:13] Assassin
    Its infrared camera can see
    the heat of the engine.
[10:16] Assassin
    So we'll leave the headlights
    on to attract its attention.
[10:22] Assassin
    Hang your gun from the roof.
[10:25] Assassin
    Pass a wire across the trigger.
[10:28] Assassin
    When the bumpy road causes the gun
    to shake, it'll fire automatically.
[10:33] Assassin
    Drones are equipped with excellent
    cameras, but they have only one.
[10:37] Assassin
    It'll prioritize following an obvious target.
[10:41] Assassin
    While they're chasing the
    car, we'll leap from it.
[10:48] Assassin
    Once they're attacked,
    they're guaranteed to strike back.
[10:52] Assassin
    They won't overlook it.
[10:54] Assassin
    The car just needs to lure them away.
[10:57] Assassin
    If we're lucky, they'll hit
    and ignite the spare gas tank.
[11:11] Assistant
    It exploded.
[11:13] Assassin
    Yes, just as planned.
[11:16] Assassin
    What's wrong?
[11:17] Assistant
    When I jumped from the car...
[11:19] Assassin
    Let me see that. I'll stop the bleeding.
[11:21] Assistant
    Sorry.
[11:26] Assassin
    I wasn't expecting to be found by a drone.
[11:29] Assassin
    Did the mafia make a mistake, or...

[11:43] Assistant
    The border guards have
    moved away from the area.
[11:46] Assassin
    Okay. We'll wait here until dawn.
[11:50] Assistant
    We're not going to flee while it's dark out?
[11:52] Assassin
    The relative temperature of the ground
[11:53] ---
    will make it easier for the drone's
    infrared camera to spot us.
[11:56] Assassin
    We'll move once the sun rises and the ground's
    temperature exceeds that of the human body.
[12:01] Assassin
    Rest until then.
[12:02] Assistant
    Yes, sir.
[12:09] Assistant
    Um...
[12:10] Assassin
    What is it?
[12:12] Assistant
    Why did you become an assassin?
[12:15] Assassin
    I was born into and raised
    by the organization.
[12:19] Assassin
    They've taught me assassination
    techniques since I was a child.
[12:23] Assassin
    I was raised only to assassinate.
[12:26] Assassin
    It's the only way I know how to live.
[12:29] Assassin
    I have no other choice.
[12:32] Assistant
    And you were satisfied with that?
[12:35] Assassin
    Satisfied?
[12:36] Assistant
    To live bound by the organization.
[12:41] Assassin
    Indeed, yes.
[12:43] ---
    As someone who spent his
    life in the organization,
[12:45] ---
    the organization was everything to me.
[12:47] Assassin
    I'm proud to have become the
    organization's greatest tool.
[12:51] Assassin
    I have no doubts.
[12:53] Assistant
    Don't you have any human emotions?
[12:57] Assassin
    Assassins don't need emotions.
[13:00] Assassin
    Emotions cloud your judgment.
[13:03] Assassin
    They only get in the way.
[13:05] Assassin
    But that all ends with this job.
[13:08] Assassin
    No human can overcome aging.
[13:11] Assistant
    You're retiring?
[13:13] Assassin
    Yeah. I'm retiring and starting a new
    job with the organization in Japan.
[13:18] Assistant
    A Japanese assassination organization?
    As in ninjas?
[13:22] Assassin
    It's an educational organization.
[13:24] Assassin
    I'll train new assassins there.
[13:27] Assassin
    This mission was also a practice
    run for training new assassins.
[13:31] Assassin
    I wouldn't have brought along
    a novice assistant otherwise.
[13:35] Assistant
    I'm not a novice!
[13:38] Assistant
    I've been trained by the organization!
[13:39] Assassin
    You might as well be a novice.
[13:41] Assistant
    I'm at the top of my class, you know!
[13:44] Assassin
    Then your classmates are trash.
[13:46] Assassin
    Even I was more useful back
    when I was still a virgin.
[13:49] Assistant
    How dare you? I'm doing my best to—
[13:57] Assassin
    What is this?
[13:59] Assassin
    I asked you a question. What is this?
[14:02] Assistant
    M-My gun.
[14:04] Assassin
    Why is it pointing at you?
[14:07] Assistant
    I don't know.
[14:09] Assassin
    Because you trust me.
[14:11] Assassin
    Why did you assume I wouldn't kill you?
[14:16] Assassin
    What if I planned to kill you once I was
    done so as not leave any evidence behind?
[14:21] Assassin
    Did that thought not occur to you?
[14:24] Assistant
    No.
[14:25] Assassin
    I lied about training new assassins.
[14:27] Assassin
    I intended to use you until I could
    escape, but you've become a burden.
[14:32] Assassin
    It's sooner than I'd planned,
    but I'm killing you now.
[14:37] Assassin
    What did they teach you
    to do in these situations?
[14:39] Assistant
    Huh?
[14:40] Assassin
    What were you taught?!
[14:42] Assistant
    Sidestep your attacker's weapon
    toward the hot side of the gun
[14:45] ---
    while twisting your body
    to face the cold side...
[14:47] Assassin
    Why aren't you doing that?
[14:49] Assistant
    Because I don't think it
    would work against you.
[14:52] Assassin
    Don't have so much faith in my abilities.
[14:54] Assassin
    This is why I called you a novice.
[14:56] Assistant
    But...
[14:57] Assassin
    If you're a professional,
    don't trust anyone about anything.
[15:01] Assassin
    Got it?
[15:06] Assassin
    Did you believe I'd kill you?
[15:08] Assassin
    I just got done telling
    you not to trust anyone.
[15:11] Assassin
    If you get that, then go to sleep.
[15:20] Assassin
    Go to sleep.
[15:21] Assistant
    I'll shoot you.
[15:22] Assassin
    Go to sleep.
[15:23] Assistant
    I'm going to shoot you.
[15:25] Assassin
    Go to sleep.
[15:26] Assistant
    You think I won't shoot you?
[15:28] Assassin
    Just go to sleep.
[15:29] Assistant
    You trust that I won't shoot you?
[15:32] Assistant
    I thought professionals didn't trust anyone.
[15:34] Assassin
    It's not that you won't shoot. You can't.
[15:37] Assassin
    You should've noticed from the gun's weight.
[15:41] Assistant
    When did you...
[15:43] Assassin
    You think I'd return a loaded gun
    to someone I threatened with it?
[15:47] Assassin
    You trust too much, novice.
[16:01] Assassin
    It's me.
[16:02] Command
    Congratulations. You seem to have
    completed your mission successfully.
[16:05] Assassin
    Thank you.
[16:07] Command
    Now you can happily retire.
    Thank you for your service until now.
[16:11] Assassin
    Actually, I have a new mission.
[16:15] Assassin
    I'll be training new assassins.
[16:17] Command
    That's right. I feel sorry for the students
    you'll be putting through the wringer.
[16:22] Command
    Everything you need is there.
[16:24] Command
    Act according to what you find there.
[16:27] Command
    Is your partner alive?
[16:29] Assassin
    Yes.
[16:30] Command
    Good. Bring her back, as well.
[16:33] Command
    I look forward to your safe return.
[16:35] Assassin
    Roger.
[16:38] Assassin
    It's a fake passport.
[16:40] Assassin
    You're now Mila Martinez, apparently.
[16:43] Assistant
    That's a common name.
[16:45] Assassin
    It's better to use an inconspicuous name.
[16:47] Assassin
    Looks like I'm Allen Smith now.
[16:50] Assassin
    Sounds like someone who'd
    shoot lame-ass movies.
[16:53] Assassin
    We have two plane tickets to Japan.
[16:56] Assassin
    Let's go meet some ninjas.
[17:13] Assassin
    Now there's nothing left for
    me to do until we arrive.
[17:17] Assassin
    It's all over now.
[17:18] Assassin
    Both this mission and my life as an assassin.
[17:28] Announcer
    Breaking news: communication
    with AMA Flight 125 was cut off
[17:30] ---
    with the final message that
    the plane had been hijacked.
[17:34] Assassin
    Hijacked?
[17:35] Announcer
    Once again, communication with
    AMA Flight 125 was cut off
[17:35] Ca
    Everyone, please remain calm, stay in
    your seats, and fasten your seat belts.
[17:37] Assistant
    What happened?
[17:38] ---
    with the final message that
    the plane had been hijacked.
[17:38] Assassin
    The story broke too quickly.
[17:39] Assassin
    It's what I'd expect from the
    organization. They're well-prepared.
[17:42] Assistant
    What do you mean?
[17:44] Assassin
    The hijacking is a lie.
    They're capable of that.
[17:47] Announcer
    We've received additional information.
[17:49] Announcer
    The terrorists who hijacked
    AMA Flight 125 have announced
[17:52] ---
    their intention to crash the
    plane into key facilities.
[17:56] Assassin
    I understand why they'd dispose of a tool
    they're finished with to keep him quiet,
[18:01] ---
    but why do all this just to kill one man?
[18:05] Assistant
    You mean...
[18:07] Assassin
    The organization intends to assassinate me.
[18:10] Assassin
    And you're their tool for doing that.
[18:13] Assistant
    No...
[18:17] Assassin
    They burdened me with her so I'd focus
    on fleeing and board this plane.
[18:25] Assassin
    They tipped off the border guard so the
    drone would show up in order to corner me.
[18:30] Ca
    Sir, you can't go in there—
[18:39] Assassin
    An antipersonnel mine behind
    the flight instrument panel.
[18:42] Assassin
    So this is why they wanted
    me to get on this plane.
[18:45] Assassin
    Is the flight control stick working?
[18:53] Assassin
    I've ended plenty of lives up until now.
[18:56] Assassin
    I knew my turn would come eventually,
[19:00] Assassin
    but I wasn't expecting
    such a magnificent coffin.
[19:09] Assassin
    They got me.
[19:32] Assassin
    Why? I trusted the organization
    and followed their orders.
[19:39] Assassin
    I was so loyal to them, I would've
    died if they'd ordered me to.
[19:45] Assassin
    I was betrayed. Why?
[19:49] Assassin
    Why? Why?
[19:53] Assassin
    I am frustrated.
[19:55] ---
    I feel frustrated.
[19:57] Assassin
    The emotions I suppressed are returning.
[20:05] Assassin
    Yes...
[20:08] Assassin
    I feel frustrated.
[20:21] Assassin
    Where am I?
[20:23] Assassin
    Is this a dream?
[20:26] Goddess
    No, not a dream.
[20:28] Goddess
    Despite being the world's finest assassin,
[20:32] ---
    you stupidly allowed yourself
    to be assassinated.
[20:37] Assassin
    Would you mind explaining all this?
[20:40] Goddess
    I summoned your soul here after your death.
[20:43] Goddess
    By the way, I am the Goddess. Ahem.
[20:46] Assassin
    Could you tell me why you brought me here?
[20:50] Goddess
    You have options.
[20:52] Goddess
    Option one: have your soul wiped clean
    and be reborn as a stranger. Waah!
[20:59] Goddess
    Your memories would vanish,
    and you'd become a different person.
[21:02] Assassin
    In other words, the person
    I am now would die.
[21:05] Goddess
    Well, you're already dead.
[21:07] Goddess
    Your other option is to accept my request
    and be reborn in another world.
[21:12] Goddess
    In exchange, you'd keep
    your current memories.
[21:15] Goddess
    You'd retain your knowledge and
    experience, and enjoy a new life.
[21:21] Assassin
    In some ways, that'd be synonymous
    with continuing my current life.
[21:25] Goddess
    An appealing offer, don't you think?
[21:29] Assassin
    And what's your request?
    Who do you want me to kill?
[21:34] Goddess
    Oh? How did you know?
[21:37] Assassin
    If you chose me,
    it's the only conceivable request.
[21:41] Goddess
    I'm glad you're so quick on the uptake.
[21:44] Goddess
    I knew I chose the right soul.
[21:47] Goddess
    You're the world's finest assassin.
[21:51] Goddess
    You will be reborn in a fantasy
    world of swords and sorcery.
[21:56] Assassin
    A world of swords and sorcery?
[21:58] Goddess
    Yes. I'd like you to kill the Hero there.

[00:13] Assassin
    Reincarnation? That's hard to believe.
[00:17] Goddess
    Normally, souls of the dead are
    cleansed of any stains and recycled.
[00:25] Goddess
    The life they'd built up
    until then is wiped away.
[00:38] Assassin
    That's how I believed death worked.
[00:41] Assassin
    Even if we're reborn,
[00:42] Assassin
    a person's personality is reduced to
    nothing if their memories are erased.
[00:46] Goddess
    Then being reborn in another world
    with the memories and personality
[00:50] Goddess
    from your previous life
    makes you incredibly lucky.
[00:53] Goddess
    It's like starting a new RPG with all the
    experience points from the game you just beat.
[01:00] Goddess
    It'd be a waste to refuse such an offer.
[01:05] Assassin
    In that case, tell me who the target is.
[01:08] Goddess
    Does that mean you'll accept the job?
[01:11] Assassin
    I'm dead. There's no risk for me anymore.
[01:14] Assassin
    And besides, I remembered
    how to feel emotions.
[01:19] Goddess
    Emotions?
[01:20] Assassin
    Since I was born, I lived as
    a tool for killing people.
[01:25] Assassin
    I suppressed my emotions and took
    pride in living as the perfect tool.
[01:32] Assassin
    But at the very end of
    my life, I had regrets.
[01:36] Assassin
    I experienced frustration.
[01:38] Assassin
    I recalled the emotions
    I'd forgotten for so long.
[01:42] Assassin
    If I have another chance at life,
[01:44] Assassin
    instead of living as a tool for others,
    I want to live my own life.
[01:48] Goddess
    That's fine.
[01:50] Goddess
    As long as you fulfill my request,
    I don't care what else you do.
[01:55] Goddess
    Allow me to explain the job.
[01:58] Goddess
    You will be reborn in a fantasy world
    of swords and sorcery and kill the Hero.
[02:05] Goddess
    You have until eighteen
    years after you're born.
[02:10] Goddess
    This is how this world works.
[02:12] Goddess
    This is how magic is defined.
[02:15] Goddess
    Here is knowledge of the culture and
    technology of the era, as well as the Hero.
[02:20] Assassin
    It's different from the world I lived in.
[02:24] Assassin
    Civilization is somewhere between
    the Middle Ages and Modern Era.
[02:27] Assassin
    The greatest difference
    is the existence of magic.
[02:30] Assassin
    And some people possess physical
    abilities far greater than ours.
[02:41] Assassin
    I see. I understand this new world.
[02:44] Assassin
    The Hero seems to be a valorous man.
[02:47] Assassin
    Why does he need to be killed?
[02:49] Goddess
    Sixteen years after your birth, the Hero will
    defeat the Demon Lord and save the world.
[02:54] Goddess
    But after that, the Hero will use his
    power to plunge the world into chaos.
[03:00] Goddess
    Eighteen years later,
    the world will be destroyed.
[03:04] Goddess
    So I'd like you to kill the Hero right quick.
[03:09] Assassin
    According to the knowledge I just received,
    there are limits to human abilities.
[03:14] Assassin
    But the Hero alone is an exception.
[03:16] Assassin
    He possesses abilities far
    greater than other humans.
[03:19] Assassin
    In other words,
[03:21] Assassin
    I have to kill a non-standard monster
    using my own standard abilities.
[03:28] Goddess
    I chose an assassin because,
    among humans, the Hero can be killed
[03:33] Assassin
    not by warriors, knights, or mages,
[03:36] Goddess
    but only by an assassin.
[03:39] Assassin
    Very well. If you just want
    him dead, I can do that.
[03:41] Goddess
    I wouldn't except less from
    the world's finest assassin.
[03:44] Goddess
    You're very confident.
[03:47] Assassin
    But give me the best possible
    abilities within standard limits.
[03:51] Goddess
    Sure. I'll grant you the highest stats
    that a human can theoretically have.
[03:59] Goddess
    These are the skills humans living
    in the other world possess.
[04:03] Goddess
    When they're born, they're granted
    at most five skills at random.
[04:08] Goddess
    I'll grant you all five, as well as the
    opportunity to choose them yourself.
[04:12] Goddess
    Furthermore, you may choose
    your magic attributes, as well.
[04:17] Assassin
    I have a few questions.
[04:19] Goddess
    Go ahead.
[04:21] Assassin
    It seems your ability to meddle
    with the world is limited.
[04:25] Assassin
    Is reincarnating me from another
    world not overstepping your bounds?
[04:30] Goddess
    That's allowed.
[04:32] Goddess
    I just so happened to bring in a soul from
    another world because I was short,
[04:35] Goddess
    just so happened to do a
    sloppy job cleansing your soul,
[04:38] Goddess
    leaving your memories and knowledge intact,
[04:40] Goddess
    just so happened to grant you
    a highly effective body,
[04:43] Goddess
    and just so happened to randomly
    select strong skills.
[04:46] Assassin
    I see. As for your instructions
    to kill him within eighteen years,
[04:51] Assassin
    can I kill him as soon as I'm ready?
[04:54] Goddess
    Oh, you can't do that.
[04:56] Goddess
    Please wait until after the
    Hero has killed the Demon Lord.
[04:59] Goddess
    The Demon Lord can only
    be killed by the Hero.
[05:02] Goddess
    If you kill him first,
    the world will be destroyed.
[05:06] Assassin
    Last question.
[05:08] Assassin
    Do you want me to save the world,
    or do you want me to kill the Hero?
[05:14] Assassin
    If the world can be saved without
    killing the Hero, that should be fine.
[05:19] Goddess
    I want you to save the world, of course.
[05:22] Goddess
    Saving the world without killing
    the Hero would be great, too...
[05:26] Goddess
    If that's even possible.
[05:29] Assassin
    Understood. I accept your request.
[05:32] Goddess
    Thank you!
[05:34] Goddess
    Now choose your skill cards.
[05:39] Assassin
    There are 123,851 skills in total.
[05:44] Assassin
    I'm free to choose a total of whichever
    five skills I want, one from each rank.
[05:50] Assassin
    The Hero is born with 30 skills.
[05:53] Assassin
    At the very least, five of them are S-rank,
[05:56] Assassin
    and their remaining skills are A-rank.
[05:58] Assassin
    And I have to face them
    with only five skills.
[06:03] Assassin
    Normally, the odds of being granted an
    S-rank skill are one in a hundred million.
[06:09] Assassin
    From among these, I'll choose...
[06:12] Assassin
    Rapid Recovery.
[06:13] Assassin
    It increases the recovery rate of my stamina,
    mana, healing, and everything else.
[06:19] Assassin
    The recovery rate increases
    with my proficiency.
[06:22] Assassin
    It's the only choice.
[06:26] Assassin
    The odds of being granted an A-rank
    skill are one in a million.
[06:30] Assassin
    I'll choose...
[06:32] Assassin
    Spell Weaver, the skill
    of creating new spells.
[06:37] Assassin
    With only a hundred spells to choose from,
    this skill grants me limitless possibilities.
[06:43] Assassin
    B-rank skills are one in ten thousand.
[06:47] Assassin
    Now, then...
[06:48] Assassin
    Limitless Growth. It does
    exactly what it sounds like.
[06:53] Assassin
    Combined with Rapid Recovery, by training
    with my inexhaustible stamina,
[06:58] Assassin
    I can improve all my abilities
    in a short amount of time.
[07:02] Assassin
    C-rank skills are one in a hundred.
[07:04] Assassin
    From among these, I'll choose...
[07:07] Assassin
    Martial Arts. Assassins require combat skills
    that don't rely on any particular weapon.
[07:14] Assassin
    Finally, D-rank skills are one in one.
[07:17] Assassin
    In other words, everyone possesses one.
[07:20] Assassin
    Oh? This is a D-rank skill?
[07:24] Assassin
    The gods must be blind.
[07:28] Assassin
    Next, I'll select my attributes.
[07:31] Assassin
    In addition to the basic attributes
    of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water,
[07:36] Assassin
    there are also the rare attributes of
    Light and Dark for a total of six.
[07:41] Assassin
    Normally, people are born with one of these.
[07:44] Assassin
    Though it will cut the speed
    of my progress in half,
[07:48] Assassin
    I'll choose all four basic attributes.
[07:50] Assassin
    I have Rapid Recovery.
    I can train twice as hard.
[07:56] Assassin
    That's my decision.
[08:01] Goddess
    You seem to have found a
    satisfactory combination.
[08:04] Assassin
    Yes. I've come up with a plan.
[08:07] Assassin
    I won't find a better combination.
[08:09] Goddess
    Really? You chose the plain
    Rapid Recovery for your S-rank skill.
[08:13] Goddess
    And your A-rank skill is Spell Weaver.
[08:16] Goddess
    The rest aren't very exciting, either.
[08:18] Goddess
    Humans are so interesting.
[08:22] Assassin
    Is that sarcasm?
[08:23] Goddess
    It's a compliment.
[08:24] Goddess
    Simply combining obviously powerful skills
[08:28] Goddess
    wouldn't be enough to beat a monster
    like the Hero who possesses 30 skills.
[08:34] Goddess
    Very well. It's time to be reborn.
[08:38] Goddess
    Are you ready?
[08:40] Assassin
    Yes. I have no doubts.
[08:43] Goddess
    You'll be born into the
    noble House of Tuatha Dé,
[08:47] Goddess
    who make their living as assassins.
[08:49] Goddess
    Your mother is a beautiful lady,
[08:52] Goddess
    but you'd better not make any
    naughty faces while nursing.
[08:56] Goddess
    Anyway, I'm counting on you.
[09:08] Assassin
    I want to live my own life.
[09:12] Assassin
    I wasn't expecting to become a tool of
    assassination again after having that thought.
[09:17] Assassin
    But if I can have a new life after completing
    just one mission, then I can't complain.
[09:24] Assassin
    This time I'll live according to my own
    will and acquire what's known as happiness.
[09:38] Maia
    Almost there, madam! Push!
[09:42] Maia
    He's here, madam!
[09:45] Maia
    Sir, it's a healthy boy!
[09:49] Cian
    Great job, Esri. The baby's here?
[09:52] Esri
    Yes. It's a boy.
[10:04] Cian
    A boy, huh?
[10:06] Cian
    Let's name him Lugh.
[10:10] Esri
    Lugh. That's a good name.
[10:13] Cian
    Lugh Tuatha Dé, my heir.
[10:18] Esri
    Cian, you're going to raise
    this boy as a Tuatha Dé?
[10:22] Cian
    This kingdom needs the Tuatha Dé.
[10:25] Cian
    Some infections can only be
    rooted out by assassination.
[10:28] Esri
    I don't like it. I'm scared we'll
    lose him like we lost Ruff.
[10:35] Cian
    I won't make the same mistake again.
[10:38] Cian
    I don't want to lose a second child, either.
[10:42] Cian
    I promise I won't let Lugh die.
[10:45] Cian
    We'll raise him to be strong so he won't.
[10:49] Esri
    Cian...
[10:54] Assassin/Lugh
    I was born to Cian Tuatha Dé and
    Esri Tuatha Dé and named Lugh.
[11:02] Lugh
    I was reincarnated into the House Tuatha Dé
[11:05] ---
    of the Alvan Kingdom,
    a noble house of assassins.

[11:24] Lugh
    These are alte rabbit droppings.
[11:27] Lugh
    They're fresh.
[11:28] Lugh
    This will be the subject of today's training.
[11:33] Lugh
    It's been seven years since I was
    reincarnated, and I still can't use magic.
[11:38] Lugh
    Magic will be the key to killing the Hero,
    but I can't learn without a mentor.
[11:43] Lugh
    But I can still strengthen
    my mana by doing this.
[11:48] Lugh
    When my prey runs from me,
[11:50] ---
    the increase in body temperature
    diminishes the flavor of the meat.
[11:54] Lugh
    Also, damaging the organs
    makes the meat stink.
[11:59] Lugh
    The best way to hunt delicious meat...
[12:02] Lugh
    is to bring it down
    with a single headshot.
[12:06] Esri
    Lugh, let your mother cook for you today.
[12:10] Lugh
    We agreed that I'd cook on days I go hunting.
[12:14] Lugh
    Have a seat, Mother.
[12:17] Cian
    Let him handle it, Esri.
[12:19] Cian
    He's never made anything inedible before.
[12:22] Esri
    I'm proud Lugh's such a good cook,
[12:25] ---
    but I'm ashamed to call myself a mother when
    he keeps coming up with wonderful ideas.
[12:30] Lugh
    Mother, you speak too well of me.
[12:33] Lugh
    My cooking is no match for yours.
[12:36] Cian
    Ah, so Lugh has a talent for
    flattery in addition to cooking.
[12:40] Esri
    Cian, you're so mean!
[12:43] Lugh
    I need to grow strong
    so I can fight the Hero.
[12:48] Lugh
    Like an athlete, I need to consume
    meals based on nutritional science.
[12:53] Lugh
    By regularly cooking for myself,
    I can acquire any nutrients I lack.
[12:58] Lugh
    Protein and calcium for building
    strong muscles and bones.
[13:02] Lugh
    Vitamins and minerals to
    stimulate tissue growth.
[13:06] Lugh
    Wild rabbit meat is ideal since it's low
    in fat and high in protein, but it's gamy.
[13:12] Lugh
    Add potherbs, homemade dried
    mushrooms, and root vegetables,
[13:15] ---
    and stew it in a pressure cooker with herbs.
[13:19] Esri
    The pot you made for us is so convenient.
[13:22] Esri
    It cooks anything in an instant, like magic.
[13:25] Lugh
    Pressure cookers aren't magic.
[13:28] Lugh
    All I did was test out the idea I got
    after reading a book in the study.
[13:31] Esri
    As far as I'm concerned, it's magic.
[13:34] Cian
    Lugh is a smart boy.
[13:36] Cian
    I knew about the relationship between
    pressure and boiling points,
[13:39] ---
    but it didn't occur to me
    to apply that to cooking.
[13:42] Cian
    An assassin needs a flexible mind.
[13:46] Cian
    I'm proud of you.
[13:47] Lugh
    Father, you speak too highly of me.
[13:51] Lugh
    I mastered cooking in my previous life.
[13:54] Lugh
    Disguising myself as a chef in
    order to infiltrate a party
[13:58] ---
    attended by my target was
    an effective strategy.
[14:01] Lugh
    Add a béchamel sauce made from goat's
    milk and goat butter beurre manié
[14:06] ---
    to the rabbit and vegetables stewed in the
    pressure cooker, and the cream stew is done.
[14:12] Lugh
    It's a complete meal that allows me
    to consume all the nutrients I need
[14:17] Lugh
    to grow at once.
[14:20] Lugh
    Father, Mother. Let's have lunch.
[14:29] Esri
    Lugh's special stew is exquisite.
[14:32] Esri
    You must be a genius to
    have come up with this.
[14:35] Cian
    I agree. I've never seen anything
    like this stew, even in the capital.
[14:40] Cian
    You could make a fortune
    selling it in a restaurant.
[14:42] Lugh
    You're exaggerating.
    It's not that elaborate a dish.
[14:47] Esri
    You're too modest, Lugh.
[14:49] Esri
    I know!
[14:50] Esri
    Let's serve this to the people
    at this year's harvest festival.
[14:53] Esri
    I'm sure everyone will love it.
[14:55] Cian
    I agree.
[14:57] Cian
    Let's make this cream stew
    a Tuatha Dé specialty.
[15:01] Esri
    Yes, let's.
[15:03] Lugh
    My mother is always cheerful, and my
    father puts on a kind face in public.
[15:09] Lugh
    We look like a happy family.
[15:11] Lugh
    I never experienced this in my previous life.
[15:15] Lugh
    The food I made in my previous
    life tasted far better than this.
[15:20] Lugh
    My ingredients and tools were sophisticated.
[15:23] Lugh
    But for some reason, I feel like
    today's meal tastes better.
[15:28] Cian
    Lugh.
[15:29] Cian
    Come to the training room
    when you're finished eating.
[15:32] Lugh
    Yes, Father.
[15:40] Lugh
    My father has another side to him.
[15:51] Lugh
    I've arrived, Father.
[15:53] Cian
    Good. Now strip.
[15:55] Lugh
    Yes, Father.
[16:07] Cian
    First kata.
[16:08] Lugh
    Yes, Father.
[16:28] Cian
    Second kata.
[16:30] Lugh
    Yes, Father.
[16:37] Cian
    Third kata.
[16:38] Lugh
    Yes, Father.
[16:39] Lugh
    Once a week, my father
    examines my body's growth.
[16:44] Lugh
    The development of my muscles.
[16:47] Lugh
    The growth of my skeletal structure.
[16:49] Lugh
    The range of motion of my joints.
[16:51] Lugh
    He determines my next training
    course according to these.
[16:55] Lugh
    The House of Tuatha Dé are the Alvan
    Kingdom's greatest medical experts.
[17:00] Lugh
    And secretly, they are assassins who
    carry out the royal family's orders.
[17:05] Lugh
    While publicly treating
    the sicknesses of nobles,
[17:08] ---
    they secretly deal with those who harm
    the kingdom by committing evil acts.
[17:13] Lugh
    Life and death. They support the
    kingdom by controlling both.
[17:17] Lugh
    A noble family of assassins.
[17:19] Lugh
    Their darkness is deeper than I imagined.
[17:22] Lugh
    My father taught me medical
    and assassination techniques
[17:27] ---
    so I could be the heir to
    this family of assassins.
[17:30] Lugh
    It's a convenient family
    for me to be born into.
[17:33] Lugh
    I can use them in order to train myself
    for the assassination of the Hero.
[17:37] Lugh
    All is going according to plan.
[17:39] Cian
    Good. Put your clothes back on.
[17:42] Lugh
    Yes, Father.
[17:44] Cian
    You're growing quickly, Lugh.
    You recover quickly, too.
[17:47] Cian
    You're wonderfully gifted.
[17:49] Lugh
    Thank you.
[17:51] Cian
    You're still a little young, but since
    you've grown this much, you should be fine.
[17:56] Cian
    You should have the strength
    to withstand the operation.
[17:58] Lugh
    You mean...
[17:59] Cian
    Lugh, I'm giving you the
    Mystic Eyes of Tuatha Dé.
[18:03] Lugh
    The Mystic Eyes of Tuatha Dé.
[18:05] Lugh
    They are a secret handed down
    in the House of Tuatha Dé.
[18:08] Lugh
    Magical surgery is used to strengthen eyesight,
    even allowing one to perceive mana.
[18:14] Lugh
    The special surgery was perfected
[18:17] Lugh
    after experimenting on
    numerous death row criminals.
[18:20] Lugh
    Not only does it allow one
    to see at great distances,
[18:22] ---
    it also improves dynamic visual acuity,
    depth perception, and low-light vision.
[18:27] Lugh
    There is no greater weapon
    an assassin could possess.
[18:30] Lugh
    I want them, no matter what.
[18:32] Cian
    Are you scared?
[18:33] Lugh
    No. I trust your skills, Father.
[18:37] Cian
    Good. I promise you a successful surgery.
[18:47] Esri
    Lugh, you're so cute.
[18:48] Lugh
    Mother, I can handle this myself.
[18:51] Esri
    No, this is a mother's job.
[18:53] Esri
    I won't let you do this one.
[18:55] Esri
    You've relied on me less
    and less as you've grown.
[18:59] Esri
    I can't believe I'm getting
    to take care of you.
[19:02] Esri
    It's like you're a baby again.
[19:05] Esri
    I know!
[19:06] Esri
    After all these years,
    would you like to nurse again?
[19:08] Lugh
    Huh?!
[19:09] Esri
    Come on, don't be shy.
[19:11] Esri
    Imagine you're a baby again. Here it comes.
[19:15] Lugh
    Wha... No, wait...
[19:16] Lugh
    No, Mother, I—
[19:19] Esri
    There, there.
[19:19] Cian
    You look like you're having fun.
[19:21] Esri
    Oh, Cian. Lugh is such a cutie.
[19:27] Lugh
    Father, help me!
[19:33] Cian
    Lugh, let me see how you're doing.
[19:36] Cian
    Your wounds should've healed by now.
[19:38] Lugh
    Yes, Father.
[19:39] Esri
    What? You can see?
[19:41] Lugh
    No, but I know the layout
    of the manor where I live.
[19:46] Lugh
    I can accurately discern the positions
    of objects by voice and sound, as well.
[19:49] Cian
    Impressive as always, Lugh.
[19:51] Cian
    You've been studying assassination
    techniques even while recuperating.
[19:55] Cian
    As your father, I'm pleased.
[20:22] Lugh
    The region of Tuatha Dé.
[20:24] Lugh
    I'm seeing the world I live in with new eyes.
[20:42] Lugh
    Father, I can see clearly.
[20:45] Cian
    Good. I'm relieved.
    The surgery was a success.
[20:51] Lugh
    Father's mana...
[20:54] Lugh
    So this is what the
    Mystic Eyes of Tuatha Dé can do.
[20:56] Cian
    Eventually I'll teach you this
    surgical technique, as well.
[20:59] Cian
    Someday you'll perform it on your own child.
[21:03] Lugh
    Yes, Father. I promise to learn it.
[21:05] Cian
    Also, I have good news for you.
[21:08] Lugh
    Good news?
[21:09] Cian
    You're finally going to get
    what you've always wanted.
[21:13] Lugh
    Have you found someone to teach me magic?
[21:17] Cian
    Yes.
[21:19] Cian
    Your teacher will be arriving next week.
[21:21] Cian
    Focus on helping Esri
    prepare for their arrival.
[21:24] Cian
    You don't want to be rude to your teacher.
[21:26] Lugh
    Yes, Father.
[21:29] Esri
    So cute!
[21:31] Esri
    I knew this outfit would look good on you.
[21:34] Lugh
    I think these are girls' clothes.
[21:37] Esri
    But they look great on you.
[21:39] Lugh
    So you acknowledge that
    they're girls' clothes.
[21:43] Esri
    I'll summon an artist.
[21:46] Esri
    I need a painting of you in that cute outfit.
[21:49] Lugh
    I never agreed to that!
[21:52] Lugh
    My magic teacher arrives today.
[21:55] Lugh
    We can't keep them waiting.
[21:57] Esri
    You're right. Too bad.
[22:00] Lugh
    I'm going to get changed. I need
    to be ready to greet my mentor.
[22:03] Esri
    What are you talking about?
[22:06] Esri
    You're going dressed like that.
    That's why I made it.
[22:09] Lugh
    Is she insane?!
[22:24] Cian
    We've awaited your arrival.
[22:26] Lugh
    This is the person who's
    going to teach me magic...
[22:30] Lugh
    A child?
[22:31] Cian
    Thank you for coming,
    despite your busy schedule.
[22:35] Dia
    Don't worry about it.
[22:37] Dia
    The Viekones owe the House
    of Tuatha Dé a great deal.
[22:40] Dia
    So she's going to be my apprentice?
[22:43] Dia
    I heard I'd be teaching a boy.
[22:45] Lugh
    I am a boy.
[22:48] Cian
    My wife dressed him.
[22:50] Dia
    She's always been a little...
[22:52] Dia
    Anyway, I believe this boy is
    too young to be studying magic.
[22:57] Cian
    Lugh is special.
    Like you, Ms. Dia, he's a genius.
[23:07] Dia
    You just thought I'm still
    a child, too, didn't you?
[23:12] Dia
    Erif cigam!
[23:23] Dia
    I'm one of Swoigel's top five mages.
[23:30] Dia
    My name is Dia Viekone. Nice to meet you.
[23:36] Lugh
    Next time, "Magic of Bonds."

[01:40] Lugh
    Allow me to formally introduce myself.
[01:42] Lugh
    I am Lugh Tuatha Dé, seven years old.
[01:45] Lugh
    I look forward to receiving your
    guidance and support, Ms. Dia.
[01:48] Dia
    No need to be so polite.
[01:50] Dia
    I'm only three years older than you.
[01:52] Dia
    Starting tomorrow, this genius mage
    will spend two weeks teaching you
[01:56] ---
    everything there is to know about magic.
[02:00] Dia
    Here.
[02:06] Lugh
    What's this?
[02:07] Dia
    It's called a Fahr Stone.
[02:08] Dia
    It can be used to store mana.
[02:11] Lugh
    Store mana?
[02:13] Dia
    First, we need to determine
    your magical capacity.
[02:16] Dia
    Try pouring all your mana
    into the Fahr Stone.
[02:23] Dia
    Wow, not bad!
[02:25] Dia
    Even among adults, not many people
    can produce that much mana.
[02:31] Lugh
    Thanks to my Rapid Recovery
    and Limitless Growth,
[02:34] ---
    I've increased my magical
    capacity by a thousandfold.
[02:38] Dia
    W-Wait a minute, Lugh...
[02:40] Lugh
    What is it?
[02:41] Dia
    It doesn't make sense that
    you've still got mana!
[02:44] Lugh
    I've got plenty more.
[02:47] Dia
    No, there's no way you can have that much!
[02:50] Lugh
    I do have it, but this is all I can release.
[02:54] Lugh
    This isn't enough to defeat the Hero, though.
[02:58] Dia
    Watch out! Throw that as hard as you can!
[03:00] Dia
    Quickly!
[03:01] Lugh
    Physical reinforcement.
[03:22] Cian
    Lugh!
[03:23] Cian
    Lugh!
[03:26] Lugh
    Father, Mother.
[03:28] Esri
    Lugh, are you all right?
[03:30] Lugh
    Yes.
[03:30] Cian
    Ms. Dia, what was that?
[03:32] Dia
    I-I'm sorry. I was just trying
    to m-measure his mana.
[03:37] Cian
    In other words, Lugh was
    responsible for that?
[03:39] Dia
    No, it was my fault.
[03:41] Cian
    That's not what I'm asking.
[03:44] Cian
    I'm asking if Lugh caused what just happened.
[03:47] Dia
    Y-Yes, but it's not Lugh's fault!
[03:51] Cian
    What?!
[03:52] Cian
    That's incredible!
[03:54] Cian
    Esri, did you hear that?
[03:55] Esri
    Yes! I knew our son could
    wield such powerful magic!
[04:02] Dia
    Huh?
[04:03] Esri
    Lugh, your first spell was marvelous.
[04:07] Esri
    I'm glad we asked Ms. Dia to teach you.
[04:10] Cian
    But this seems more suitable for war.
[04:13] Cian
    Ms. Dia, could you please teach him
    spells suitable for assassination next?
[04:17] Dia
    Huh? Uh, sure...
[04:19] Cian
    Keep up the good work.
[04:25] Cian
    They're... not mad?
[04:27] Lugh
    That's how my parents are.
[04:29] Dia
    Huh...
[04:30] Lugh
    More importantly, Dia,
    I want more Fahr Stones.
[04:33] Lugh
    How can I get more?
[04:35] Dia
    You can't.
[04:37] Dia
    Fahr Stones are the treasured object
    of my home region of Viekone.
[04:40] Dia
    We can't give them to
    people from other regions.
[04:43] Dia
    Did you just click your tongue?
[04:45] Lugh
    No. Hey, Dia.
[04:47] Dia
    What is it?
[04:48] Lugh
    Are you sure I can't have Fahr Stones?
[04:50] Dia
    Yes!
[04:56] Lugh
    She's an odd mentor, but no matter.
[05:02] Lugh
    More importantly, I need Fahr Stones.
[05:04] Lugh
    They will be necessary for
    assassinating the Hero.
[05:07] Lugh
    The question is, how can I
    acquire a large number of them?
[05:12] Dia
    Lugh, you're still awake?
[05:14] Lugh
    Yeah.
[05:16] Dia
    Children shouldn't be up so late.
[05:19] Dia
    Go to bed.
[05:22] Lugh
    S-Sure.
[05:25] Lugh
    Uh...
[05:26] Dia
    Your big sister will sleep with you tonight.
[05:29] Lugh
    When did I become your younger brother?
[05:32] Dia
    Oh, Mr. Cian must be hiding it.
[05:36] Lugh
    Hiding what?
[05:39] Dia
    In any case, as your mentor,
    I name you my younger brother.
[05:45] Lugh
    Fine.
[05:47] ---
    I'll follow my mentor's commands.
[05:50] Dia
    Nice and obedient. Good.
[05:52] Dia
    Goodnight, Lugh.
[05:53] Lugh
    Goodnight.
[06:01] Dia
    Here.
[06:02] Dia
    Today, we'll determine your attributes.
[06:04] Dia
    Try pouring a little mana into that.
[06:08] Lugh
    How's this?
[06:09] Dia
    Good. We'll begin by testing for Fire.
[06:16] Dia
    You have an affinity for Fire.
[06:18] Dia
    You could have two attributes,
    so we'll test for the others, too.
[06:25] Dia
    Wow, you have an affinity for Water, as well!
[06:27] Dia
    This is my first time seeing someone
    other than myself with two attributes!
[06:31] Dia
    It's really rare!
[06:34] Lugh
    What about the others?
[06:35] Dia
    I've never seen anyone with
    three attributes, but...
[06:41] Dia
    What?
[06:42] Dia
    You have an affinity for Earth, too?
[06:46] Dia
    Wind, too... You have all four attributes?!
[06:50] Lugh
    Seems that way.
[06:51] Dia
    You're unbelievable.
[06:54] Dia
    But now that we know your magical capacity
    and attributes, I can teach you properly.
[06:59] Lugh
    I'm counting on it.
[07:07] Dia
    Casting spells requires you to
    convert your mana's attribute.
[07:12] Dia
    Your first attribute conversion is a
    powerful and memorable experience.
[07:17] Dia
    Receiving guidance from an unskilled
    mentor can leave you with bad habits.
[07:22] Lugh
    You're not an unskilled mentor, right?
[07:26] Dia
    I promise you a wonderful first time.
[07:31] Dia
    Focus. We'll start with Earth,
    my preferred attribute.
[07:36] Dia
    Feel the change in your mana on your skin.
[07:40] Dia
    Etch it into your mind.
[07:47] Lugh
    So this is attribute conversion.
[07:52] Lugh
    Guided by Dia, my mana is taking on color.
[07:58] Lugh
    My previously colorless power
[08:02] Lugh
    is being reborn with purpose.
[08:16] Lugh
    Thank you for a wonderful first time.
[08:20] Dia
    Give it a try.
[08:29] Dia
    Looking good!
[08:30] Lugh
    You set a good example.
[08:37] Lugh
    I have memories of something
    that look like letters.
[08:40] Dia
    You learned a spell.
[08:42] Lugh
    This is a spell?
[08:44] Dia
    When you take on mana from
[08:46] Dia
    one of your attributes, you learn
    spells as a revelation from God.
[08:49] Dia
    The more often you cast them,
    the more new spells you'll receive.
[08:53] Lugh
    How do I cast them?
[08:54] Dia
    Speak the incantation in your mind.
[09:01] Lugh
    I can't read these letters.
[09:04] Dia
    Watch this.
[09:06] Dia
    Etaerc reppoc.
[09:10] Dia
    "Create copper." This is the first Earth
    affinity spell that appears in your mind.
[09:16] Lugh
    Like this?
[09:17] Lugh
    Etaerc reppoc.
[09:22] Dia
    How did you learn that
    after hearing it only once?
[09:25] Lugh
    I'm confident in my memory.
[09:28] Lugh
    My tongue can't keep up, though.
[09:30] Dia
    Pronunciation is key when casting spells.
[09:32] Dia
    The accuracy of your pronunciation
    affects your magic.
[09:35] Lugh
    So that's how it works.
[09:37] Lugh
    Dia, teach me more.
[09:40] Dia
    Right! Your crash course begins now!
[09:44] Lugh
    I've finally learned to use magic.
[09:47] Lugh
    But this is still only the first step.
[09:50] Lugh
    Someday I must acquire spells powerful
    enough to assassinate the Hero.
[10:02] Dia
    Tuatha Dé has some delicious dishes.
[10:04] Dia
    That was my first time having gratin.
[10:06] Lugh
    Sorry I can't serve you
    anything more luxurious.
[10:09] Dia
    Gratin has a very mild flavor. I love it!
[10:14] Lugh
    I'm glad you liked it.
[10:16] Dia
    Lugh, why are you so good at everything?
[10:20] Dia
    You're knowledgeable and smarter
    than me, even though you're younger.
[10:24] Dia
    You're a good cook, too.
[10:26] Lugh
    My parents taught me well.
[10:29] Lugh
    I'll serve you something
    special for dinner tomorrow.
[10:31] Lugh
    You'll love it.
[10:33] Dia
    Okay! Goodnight, Lugh!
[10:36] Lugh
    Goodnight.

[10:47] Dia
    Nice work!
[10:48] Dia
    You're progressing so quickly!
[10:50] Lugh
    So this is magic. It's fun.
[10:52] Dia
    I was so excited at first, too!
[10:55] Dia
    The more magic you use,
    the more spells come to mind!
[11:01] Lugh
    Can you cast a spell off a
    transcription written by someone
[11:04] ---
    instead of the letters in your head?
[11:08] Dia
    Without a revelation from God?
[11:10] Lugh
    I want to try it.
[11:11] Dia
    Okay.
[11:14] Dia
    Let's try iron next.
[11:17] Dia
    Here.
[11:19] Lugh
    Etaerc nori.
[11:23] Dia
    No way! It worked!
[11:26] Dia
    Why hasn't anyone figured this out until now?
[11:30] Lugh
    This world must be designed so people only
    consider casting spells given to them by God.
[11:37] Lugh
    The copper and iron spells have
    nearly identical incantations.
[11:40] Dia
    Yeah. I don't know what the words
    mean, but just this part is different.
[11:46] Lugh
    Dia, could you transcribe all
    the incantations you know?
[11:49] Dia
    What? That's a lot of work.
[11:52] Lugh
    If this minor difference
    changes the metal produced,
[11:56] ---
    we may be able to create a new
    spell by changing this part.
[12:00] Lugh
    We need samples to determine
    which letters mean what.
[12:05] Lugh
    I'll do anything for you in return.
[12:06] Lugh
    Please.
[12:08] Dia
    Got it.
[12:13] Dia
    There are 36 magic letters.
[12:15] Dia
    I think the difference between
    copper and iron is the numbers.
[12:18] Dia
    It makes sense logically
    if these are numbers, so...
[12:22] Dia
    Lugh, are you listening?
[12:24] Lugh
    Y-Yeah, I'm listening.
[12:27] Dia
    Copper is probably 8.9, 1,083, and 63.546.
[12:32] Dia
    Iron is 7.9, 1,540, and 55.8, I think.
[12:38] Lugh
    Really?
[12:39] Lugh
    Good job figuring that out.
[12:41] Dia
    Huh?
[12:41] Lugh
    Where's the number to magic
    letter conversion chart?
[12:44] Dia
    Here.
[12:45] Lugh
    All right.
[12:50] Lugh
    Done.
[12:51] Lugh
    These numbers are the parameters
    defining the type of metal created.
[12:55] Dia
    In simpler terms?
[12:57] Lugh
    The three numbers represent specific gravity,
    melting point, and atomic weight.
[13:01] Lugh
    By changing the parameters to those
    of silver, we can produce silver.
[13:05] Dia
    That's even more confusing.
[13:07] Lugh
    Dia, don't you want to produce gold?
[13:09] Dia
    What?
[13:10] Lugh
    I know the parameters for gold.
[13:12] Dia
    Really? Let's do it!
[13:15] Lugh
    Ready?
[13:15] Dia
    Yeah.
[13:16] Lugh
    Specific gravity, 19.32.
[13:19] Lugh
    Melting point, 1,064.
[13:21] Lugh
    Atomic weight, 196.966.
[13:25] Dia
    Atomic weight is...
[13:27] Dia
    Done.
[13:29] Dia
    Etaerc dlog.
[13:30] Dia
    Huh?
[13:33] Lugh
    Are you all right, Dia?
[13:35] Dia
    Yeah, I'm fine.
[13:37] Dia
    I suddenly got a really bad headache.
[13:40] Lugh
    What's going on?
[13:42] Dia
    Did we get something wrong?
[13:44] Lugh
    I'll try it.
[13:46] Lugh
    Etaerc dlog.
[13:50] Dia
    Y-You did it!
[13:51] Dia
    It's gold! This is amazing, Lugh!
[13:54] Lugh
    This must be my A-rank skill, Spell Weaver.
[13:57] Lugh
    So those who don't possess this skill can't use
    incantations they've created themselves?
[14:04] Dia
    What are you doing?
[14:06] Lugh
    I'm writing down the same incantation.
[14:09] Lugh
    Dia, I want you to read this.
[14:11] Lugh
    You don't have to if you don't want to.
[14:13] Lugh
    It's necessary to determine the conditions
    required to produce new spells.
[14:17] Dia
    That's not fair.
[14:20] Dia
    I can't suppress my curiosity
    when you phrase it like that.
[14:23] Dia
    Watch this.
[14:24] Dia
    Etaerc dlog.
[14:31] Dia
    I did it! I made gold!
[14:33] Dia
    Does this mean that if I create new spells
[14:36] Dia
    and have you transcribe the incantation,
    then I can use them?!
[14:40] Lugh
    That seems to be the case.
[14:43] Dia
    This is so exciting!
[14:44] Lugh
    Yeah. We can create even
    more impressive spells.
[14:47] Dia
    Yeah! Let's make spells together!
[15:09] Lugh
    We should be safe here. No one will find us.
[15:12] Dia
    Secrets are so exciting.
[15:15] Lugh
    Here we go.
[15:16] Lugh
    Elfir etaerc.
[15:19] Lugh
    Erif.
[15:21] Lugh
    I'll fire tungsten bullets by
    forcing them out using Fire magic.
[15:28] Dia
    All right! It worked!
[15:30] Lugh
    Let's call this spell "Fire."
[15:32] Dia
    Sure! That was awesome!
[15:34] Dia
    Let me try now.
[15:35] Dia
    Elfir etaerc.
[15:39] Dia
    Erif.
[15:41] Dia
    I did it, too!
[15:44] Lugh
    Now I can snipe targets like
    I did in my previous life.
[15:45] Lugh
    Yay!
[15:47] Lugh
    But it's still not nearly enough
    firepower to take down the Hero.
[15:52] Lugh
    Let's try modifying it a little.
[15:53] Dia
    Huh?
[15:54] Lugh
    Etaerc nonnac.
[15:56] Dia
    What is that?
[16:01] Lugh
    Dia, cover your ears.
[16:03] Dia
    My ears?
[16:04] Lugh
    Drabmob.
[16:14] Dia
    What are you planning to shoot with that?!
[16:18] Dia
    It's clearly too strong!
[16:24] Lugh
    I made it pretty thick,
[16:26] Lugh
    but it cracked after firing a single shot.
[16:29] Lugh
    Maybe I'll try using a Martensitic
    molecular structure instead.
[16:32] Dia
    That was crazy, Lugh.
[16:34] Dia
    But firing that weapon must feel amazing.
[16:37] Lugh
    Let's call this spell "Bombard."
[16:40] Lugh
    Would you like to try it?
[16:41] Dia
    I hate to admit it, but I can't.
[16:43] Dia
    I'd need a crazy amount of mana like yours.
[16:46] Dia
    I'm fine with just "Fire."
[16:48] Lugh
    Shall we practice some?
[16:50] Dia
    Okay!
[17:06] Dia
    It's been two weeks already.
[17:08] Lugh
    Yeah.
[17:10] Dia
    It's already time to say goodbye.
[17:12] Lugh
    Yeah.
[17:14] Dia
    I wish we could stay like this forever.
[17:24] Dia
    Lugh?
[17:27] Lugh
    Etaerc muinatit.
[17:32] Lugh
    It's a beta titanium alloy.
[17:34] Lugh
    It's twice as hard as iron,
[17:37] Lugh
    half as heavy, durable,
    and resistant to damage and rust.
[17:42] Lugh
    This is the product of our spells.
[17:47] Dia
    It's beautiful.
[17:54] Dia
    It's so sharp.
[17:59] Lugh
    It's for you.
[18:00] Dia
    What? Thank you.
[18:02] Lugh
    If you hadn't been my mentor,
    I wouldn't have learned to use magic.
[18:07] Dia
    If I hadn't met you, it never would've
    occurred to me to create my own spells.
[18:13] Dia
    I love magic even more than I did before.
[18:16] Lugh
    So do I.
[18:18] Dia
    I'm going to create lots more
    spells even after I go home.
[18:21] Dia
    The next time we meet, you can complete them.
[18:24] Lugh
    Sure.
[18:25] Dia
    I'm so excited!
[18:27] Dia
    I've had enough excitement to
    fill a lifetime since I met you!
[18:31] Dia
    Lugh.
[18:36] Dia
    This is for you.
[18:40] Lugh
    A Fahr Stone... Are you sure?
[18:42] Dia
    Yeah, but in exchange...
[18:46] Dia
    You said you'd do anything
    to thank me, remember?
[18:49] Lugh
    Yeah.
[18:50] Dia
    Promise you'll come see me when
    I really, really want to see you.
[18:56] Lugh
    I promise. I'll come to you, no matter what.
[19:13] Cian
    Ms. Dia, thank you for training
    my son up until this point.
[19:18] Dia
    Lugh is a genius.
    He practically trained himself.
[19:21] Dia
    I had never felt jealous before him.
[19:23] Esri
    I had no idea you were so amazing, Lugh.
[19:26] Cian
    I wouldn't expect less from our son.
[19:28] Cian
    I'm proud of you.
[19:29] Dia
    See you later, Lugh.
[19:33] Dia
    I had so much fun! I promise I'll come back!
[19:36] Lugh
    Yeah. I'll be waiting.
[19:43] Cian
    I'm delighted to have such a brilliant son.
[19:47] Lugh
    I'm honored, Father.
[19:49] Cian
    You seem to have grown enough.
[19:52] Cian
    Today, I'll begin teaching you
    the truth about Tuatha Dé.
[19:56] Lugh
    The truth about Tuatha Dé...
[20:01] Cian
    What is the motto of House Tuatha Dé?
[20:03] Lugh
    The skills of House Tuatha Dé must only be
    used for the prosperity of the Alvan Kingdom.
[20:07] Cian
    And the medical techniques of Tuatha Dé?
[20:10] Lugh
    To sustain the lives of exceptional people.
[20:12] Cian
    What are the assassination
    techniques of Tuatha Dé for?
[20:15] Lugh
    Only for excising the kingdom's
    illnesses and preventing harm.
[20:19] Cian
    Good. I will teach you the secrets
    required to hone those skills.
[20:24] Cian
    Behold.
[20:26] Lugh
    What is that?
[20:26] Cian
    A prison.
[20:31] Lugh
    Death row criminals from around the
    kingdom have been gathered here.
[20:35] Lugh
    They can be used for medical
    experiments and killing practice.
[20:39] Cian
    With that intellect and logical thinking,
    I'm excited for your future.
[20:44] Cian
    People experience tremendous resistance
    when killing another person.
[20:48] Cian
    Many lose their own lives because of it.
[20:50] Cian
    You must practice killing so
    that doesn't happen to you.
[20:54] Lugh
    I have a question.
[20:55] Cian
    I'll allow it.
[20:56] Lugh
    Why did you raise me to be
    hesitant to kill a person?
[21:01] Lugh
    You could've raised me to suppress my
    emotions and become an assassination tool.
[21:05] Cian
    That's a good question. The answer is...
[21:09] Cian
    because we're people, not tools.
[21:13] Cian
    We don't kill because we're ordered to.
[21:15] Cian
    We determine if a job will benefit the
    kingdom and understand why we're killing.
[21:19] Cian
    We do what we have to do with
    our hearts and minds intact.
[21:23] Cian
    You must possess human values in
    order to read the minds of others.
[21:27] Cian
    Humanity is a necessary
    weapon for assassination.
[21:31] Lugh
    I half understand and half don't.
[21:34] Cian
    That's fine for now. Keep thinking on it.
[21:39] Cian
    Come, Lugh.
[21:43] Cian
    It's time for your first kill.
[22:00] Margaret
    Please help me!
[22:01] Margaret
    I don't want to die!
[22:03] Cian
    Margaret, age 19.
[22:05] Cian
    Her crimes are armed robbery,
    murder, and arson.
[22:08] Margaret
    No! It wasn't on purpose!
[22:11] Cian
    While burglarizing an empty home,
[22:12] ---
    she was seen by the elderly couple that
    had returned home and murdered them.
[22:16] Margaret
    I was hungry. I was going to beg for food.
[22:19] Margaret
    But when they got home, they made a fuss.
[22:21] Cian
    She set fire to the house in order to
    destroy the evidence and fled the scene.
[22:25] Margaret
    I didn't mean to! I lost my composure!
[22:28] Cian
    She's guilty of countless other crimes, as well.
    She's been sentenced to death.
[22:31] Margaret
    Please spare me! I'll do anything!
[22:35] Cian
    Lugh, kill her however you deem fit.
[22:38] Margaret
    Please don't.
[22:40] Margaret
    Spare me! No!
[22:42] Margaret
    Don't kill me!
[22:45] Lugh
    It's all right, miss.
[22:47] Lugh
    Don't move.
[22:55] Lugh
    It's a sharp blade, and the
    adrenaline will minimize the pain.
[23:00] Lugh
    You'll lose consciousness from blood
    loss before you feel any pain.
[23:04] Lugh
    You'll die peacefully.
[23:05] Margaret
    You little brat!
[23:08] Margaret
    You tricked me!
[23:10] Margaret
    You said I'd be spared if I
    won him over with my tears!
[23:12] Margaret
    What the hell is this?!
[23:14] Margaret
    You won't get away with this, brat!
[23:16] Margaret
    I'll kill you!
[23:18] Margaret
    I'll burn you to death
    like I burned that hag!
[23:20] Margaret
    Die! Die!
[23:22] Margaret
    I hope you're eaten by demons in Hell!
[23:25] Lugh
    You're right.
[23:27] Lugh
    That might not be so bad...
[23:32] Lugh
    the next time I die.

[00:21] Tarte
    I've been abandoned.
[00:24] Tarte
    My family has always been poor.
[00:26] Tarte
    We only had a little bit to eat.
[00:31] Tarte
    Since there's not enough food, we had
    to reduce the number of mouths to feed.
[00:36] Tarte
    So I was abandoned.
[00:40] Tarte
    Because I was an unwanted child.
[00:43] Tarte
    An unwanted child... an unwanted child...
[00:48] Tarte
    An unwanted child... an unwanted child...
[00:53] Tarte
    I'm cold. I'm hungry. I want to go home.
[00:59] Tarte
    But even if I went home,
    I'd just be cast out again.
[01:10] Tarte
    Everyone's hungry, just like me.
[01:15] Tarte
    No...
[01:17] Tarte
    No, I don't want this!

[03:00] Cian
    Tuatha Dé had good harvest again this year.
[03:03] Esri
    Yes, thanks to everyone's efforts.
[03:07] Cookie
    Would you like a cookie?
[03:09] Esri
    My, these cookies look delicious!
[03:12] Esri
    Lugh, I bet you'd like some of these.
[03:14] Esri
    I'll buy us some. We can eat them together.
[03:18] Lugh
    You're the one who wants to eat them, Mother.
[03:20] Lugh
    I'm already ten years old.
[03:22] ---
    Please stop treating me like a child.
[03:25] Esri
    What? But you are my child.
[03:28] Esri
    It's only natural for me
    to treat you like one.
[03:30] Esri
    I'll always treat you like a child, even after
    you've become an old, white-haired man.
[03:35] Lugh
    Please don't.
[03:37] Esri
    Is this your rebellious phase? Is that it?
[03:40] Esri
    I can't believe you've lost your innocence!
[03:45] Lugh
    I haven't lost my innocence.
[03:47] Lugh
    Fine, let's eat them together.
[03:50] Esri
    Okay!
[03:51] Lugh
    Which one of us is the child?
[03:54] Cian
    Look, Lugh.
[03:56] Cian
    Your cream stew seems to be popular.
[03:59] Cian
    The people love your idea.
[04:02] Lugh
    You honor me, Father.
[04:04] Cian
    The livestock are doing well, too.
[04:06] Cian
    The price of meat products is stable.
[04:09] Lugh
    They raise their livestock during
    summer, when feed is plentiful,
[04:12] ---
    and turn them into preserved foods
    such as bacon before winter arrives.
[04:15] Lugh
    They reduce the number of
    livestock during winter,
[04:18] ---
    when feed is scarce, and breed them in spring.
[04:20] Lugh
    Such is the local food culture.
[04:22] Cian
    The town is full of life, as well.
    I look forward to the harvest festival.
[04:27] Lugh
    With this turnout, I may
    be able to find someone.
[04:32] Lugh
    There.
[04:35] Lugh
    No, not him.
[04:36] Esri
    Lucky us!
[04:38] Esri
    The people running the shop said
    you could have this for free.
[04:42] Lugh
    You shouldn't burden the people like that.
[04:46] Esri
    It's fine. See?
[04:48] Both
    Mr. Lugh!
[04:48] Esri
    They're fans of yours.
[04:51] Esri
    You little lady-killer, Lugh.
[05:02] Lugh
    I can't find anyone with mana.
[05:08] Lugh
    I'm now ten years old.
[05:10] Lugh
    I have to kill the Hero within eight years.
[05:14] Lugh
    To do that, I'd like to acquire
    a skilled assistant with mana.
[05:19] Lugh
    But most people who have mana are nobles
    or belong to their branch families.
[05:23] Lugh
    They're difficult to recruit.
[05:25] Lugh
    Ordinary people rarely possess mana.
[05:29] Lugh
    I'll have to be patient in my search.
[05:40] Esri
    You're going hunting on
    a day as cold as today?
[05:43] Lugh
    I have to hunt before it snows,
[05:45] Lugh
    or we'll eat poorly over the winter.
[05:48] Lugh
    I'm off.
[05:50] Esri
    Take care, Lugh.
[06:00] Lugh
    It's early this year.
[06:03] Lugh
    I need to go see Dia before
    the snow gets too deep.
[06:09] Lugh
    Wolves. The pack's stalking its prey.
[06:14] Lugh
    Perfect. I'll steal it out from under them.
[06:27] Lugh
    A human?
[06:40] Lugh
    Are you all right?
[06:41] Tarte
    Y-Yes.
[06:43] Lugh
    Stay there.
[06:48] Lugh
    An opportunity to practice. Five enemies.
[06:52] Lugh
    Begin.
[06:53] Lugh
    Etaerc latem.
[07:05] Lugh
    Spinal cord severed. Instant death.
[07:10] Lugh
    Brain stem lacerated. Instant death.
[07:15] Lugh
    Concussion. Not a fatal blow.
[07:31] Lugh
    Skull crushed. Instant death.
[07:34] Lugh
    All enemies eliminated.
    Training scenario over.
[07:39] Lugh
    Who are you?
[07:40] Tarte
    Huh?
[07:41] Lugh
    What are you doing so deep in the woods?
[07:43] Tarte
    I-I won't do anything bad.
[07:47] Tarte
    Please... don't hurt me.
[07:51] Lugh
    You still haven't answered my question.
[07:53] Lugh
    Why are you here?
[07:55] Tarte
    M-My family's poor. They had to reduce
    the number of mouths to feed.
[07:58] Lugh
    Mouths to feed?
[08:00] Tarte
    There's not much food in winter,
    so before it arrives...
[08:04] Lugh
    Just like the bacon.
[08:06] Tarte
    Huh?
[08:06] Lugh
    Nothing. Continue.
[08:08] Tarte
    A traveler told me the region of Tuatha Dé
    beyond the mountains is wealthy, so...
[08:38] Lugh
    It's porridge. You want some?
[08:40] Tarte
    Yes.
[08:41] Lugh
    It comes with a few conditions.
[08:45] Lugh
    Eat as slowly as you can.
[08:47] Lugh
    If you do as I say,
    I'll give you another bowl.
[08:49] Lugh
    If you eat hurriedly,
    you won't receive another.
[08:52] Lugh
    Got it?
[08:54] Tarte
    Okay.
[08:55] Lugh
    Good.
[09:17] Tarte
    Was that too fast?
[09:19] Lugh
    No. Do you want another bowl?
[09:21] Tarte
    Yes.
[09:23] Tarte
    Slowly?
[09:24] Lugh
    Yes. If you eat quickly, your stomach will
    reject the food and make you throw up.
[09:30] Lugh
    Plus, your body's cold.
[09:31] Lugh
    That's why I gave you easily
    digestible warm porridge.
[09:34] Lugh
    Eat slowly.
[09:36] Tarte
    Okay.
[09:38] Lugh
    The lord of the neighboring region is not
    only incompetent, but greedy, as well.
[09:41] Lugh
    I heard his people were suffering
    under his exorbitant taxes,
[09:45] Lugh
    but I had no idea it was this bad.
[09:48] Lugh
    You said you were heading to Tuatha Dé.
[09:50] Tarte
    Yes.
[09:51] Lugh
    I'm the son of the lord of Tuatha Dé.
[09:54] Tarte
    Really? That's... incredible.
[09:58] Tarte
    God is real after all.
[10:00] Lugh
    God?
[10:01] Tarte
    Yes. God told me in a dream that
    I'd have a fateful encounter.
[10:06] Lugh
    I see. Do you want to come with me?
[10:10] Lugh
    If you come with me,
    you'll always have food to eat.
[10:13] Lugh
    You won't have to freeze anymore.
[10:15] Tarte
    Are you sure?
[10:17] Lugh
    Yes. I want you to come with me.
[10:19] Lugh
    I need you.
[10:23] Tarte
    You... need me?
[10:27] Lugh
    You don't want to?
[10:30] Tarte
    I'm happy.
[10:32] Tarte
    No one's ever told me they needed me before.
[10:36] Lugh
    Do you think I'm a good person?
[10:38] Tarte
    Yes, you're a good person.
[10:40] Lugh
    Can you keep a secret?
[10:42] Tarte
    Yes.
[10:43] Lugh
    I've killed people.
[10:45] Tarte
    Huh?
[10:47] Lugh
    I'm going to continue
    killing a lot of people.
[10:50] Lugh
    That's the mission that's been handed to me.
[10:53] Lugh
    It's my job.
[10:55] Lugh
    I'll ask you again.
    Do you think I'm a good person?
[11:02] Tarte
    You're a good person,
    as far as I'm concerned.
[11:05] Lugh
    Good answer.
[11:06] Lugh
    But if you're coming with me,
    there are some conditions.
[11:10] Lugh
    You'll help me with my work.
[11:12] Lugh
    If you can't, then the deal's off.
[11:15] Lugh
    What'll it be?
[11:19] Tarte
    I can do it. I'll do anything.
[11:22] Tarte
    You said you needed me. I'll go with you!
[11:29] Lugh
    I am Lugh. Lugh Tuatha Dé.
[11:36] Tarte
    I'm Tarte.
[11:39] Lugh
    Welcome, Tarte, to Tuatha Dé.
[11:45] Lugh
    I finally found someone with mana.
[11:48] Lugh
    Tarte said God led her here in a dream.
[11:51] Lugh
    The Goddess probably sent her my way.
[11:55] Lugh
    By defeating the wolves,
    I demonstrated that I'm powerful.
[11:59] Lugh
    I took pity on her and fed her.
    I made her believe I'd protect her.
[12:04] Lugh
    On top of that, I offered additional
    benefits for doing as I said.
[12:10] Lugh
    By telling her I needed her,
[12:12] ---
    I convinced her that I'm the only one
    who can give her existence purpose.
[12:16] Lugh
    I revealed that I've killed people.
[12:19] Lugh
    Sharing secrets is a good
    way to earn someone's trust.
[12:24] Lugh
    The heavier the secret,
    the more effective it is.
[12:26] Lugh
    I had her make the final decision.
[12:29] Lugh
    She won't want to recognize
    that she made a mistake,
[12:33] ---
    so she won't betray me later.
[12:35] Lugh
    Brainwashing complete.
[12:38] Tarte
    I'll go with you, Mr. Lugh.
[12:41] Lugh
    Just as planned.

    Despite being the world's finest special

[13:10] Soldier

    By the way, I'm a goddess.

[14:31] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh, it's morning. Please wake up.
[14:37] Tarte
    If you don't get up,
    I'll have to get mischievous.
[14:46] Lugh
    Good morning, Tarte.
[14:48] Tarte
    Good morning, Mr. Lugh.
[14:50] Tarte
    You don't normally sleep in.
[14:52] Lugh
    I pushed myself too hard yesterday.
[14:55] Lugh
    I haven't recovered yet.
[14:57] Tarte
    Breakfast is ready. I'm confident
    in what I made today.
[15:00] Lugh
    I'm looking forward to it. Let's go.
[15:02] Tarte
    Yes, sir. Let me help you change.
[15:08] Lugh
    I had a dream earlier.
[15:10] Tarte
    A dream?
[15:11] Lugh
    Yes, about how we met two years ago.
[15:14] Tarte
    That's a little embarrassing.
[15:17] Tarte
    I looked like a disaster. I was so thin.
[15:22] Lugh
    You're right. When we first met,
    I didn't think you'd become so beautiful.
[15:27] ---
    I-I...
[15:29] Tarte
    I'll go put some fruit
    in your breakfast yogurt.
[15:48] Lugh
    Tarte.
[15:49] Lugh
    You don't need to perform your
    servant duties so diligently.
[15:52] Lugh
    The job's just an excuse to keep you at my side.
[15:54] Tarte
    No, I'm committed to ensuring your
    life is comfortable every day.
[15:58] Tarte
    After all, I'm your personal servant.
[16:00] Esri
    Good for you, Tarte.
[16:02] Esri
    Your cooking skills improved so quickly.
[16:05] Esri
    You're so studious.
[16:07] Tarte
    Thank you, ma'am.
[16:09] Cian
    Lugh chose well when he picked you.
[16:12] Cian
    You're satisfying him not only as
    a servant, but also with his work.
[16:17] Tarte
    Thank you, sir.
[16:20] Tarte
    I would've died if Mr. Lugh
    hadn't taken me in.
[16:24] Tarte
    So my heart, body, and life
    all belong to Mr. Lugh.
[16:29] Esri
    You've brightened up our
    home since you arrived.
[16:33] Esri
    Lugh is going through a rebellious phase and
    won't wear the clothes I make for him anymore.
[16:38] Lugh
    That has nothing to do
    with a rebellious phase.
[16:41] Esri
    I hope you'll continue to look after Lugh.
[16:43] Tarte
    Yes, ma'am. I'll serve him forever.
[16:46] Lugh
    Tarte, could you come to the
    training room after breakfast?
[16:49] Tarte
    Yes, Mr. Lugh.
[16:58] Tarte
    I'm here, Mr. Lugh.
[17:01] Lugh
    Tarte, strip.
[17:03] Tarte
    Yes, sir.
[17:20] Lugh
    First kata.
[17:21] Tarte
    Yes, sir.
[17:32] Lugh
    Second kata.
[17:34] Tarte
    Yes, sir.
[17:38] Lugh
    Third kata.
[17:40] Tarte
    Yes, sir.
[17:42] Lugh
    As my assassination assistant,
    I made Tarte my personal servant.
[17:46] Lugh
    My father imposed two conditions
    on my training her.
[17:50] Lugh
    First, that I would instruct her.
[17:54] Lugh
    Second, that if she ever betrayed us,
[17:57] ---
    I would take responsibility by killing her.
[18:00] Lugh
    In just two years, Tarte has acquired
    a body worthy of an assassin
[18:04] ---
    and refinement appropriate
    for an aristocrat's servant.
[18:08] Lugh
    In my previous life, I was
    to become an instructor,
[18:12] Lugh
    but I never thought I'd be
    training an assassin like this.
[18:16] Lugh
    Good. Put your clothes back on.
[18:18] Tarte
    Yes, sir.
[18:22] Tarte
    Is something the matter, Mr. Lugh?
[18:25] Lugh
    There's nothing wrong with you physically.
[18:27] Lugh
    If anything, you're perfect.
[18:29] Tarte
    So then...
[18:31] Lugh
    The problem is your intuition. Come.
[18:34] Tarte
    Yes, sir.
[18:48] Lugh
    Now you're dead.
[18:50] Tarte
    I'm sorry I can't live up to your expectations.
[18:54] Lugh
    It's fine. We'll keep training.
[18:58] Tarte
    I'm good with a spear, though.
[19:05] Maid A
    Ms. Tarte, could you wash these?
[19:08] Tarte
    Yes, ma'am.
[19:10] Lugh
    It's not that Tarte has an aptitude for it.
[19:12] Lugh
    But she's hardworking and tractable.
[19:15] Lugh
    It's the reason she'll improve,
    and why I can trust her.
[19:19] Lugh
    But her progress with combat
    skills alone has been slow.
[19:23] Lugh
    The only thing she's good
    at is handling a spear.
[19:27] Lugh
    It's possible that she has a spear-using skill.
[19:29] Maid A And B
    Wow!
[19:29] Lugh
    But weapons that can't be hidden
    aren't suitable for assassination.
[19:34] Lugh
    I'll have to come up with a knife
    fighting program suitable for Tarte.
[19:51] Lugh
    Keep the knife's edge perpendicular.
[19:53] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh?
[19:54] Tarte
    I'm sorry for coming in here
    without your permission.
[19:57] Tarte
    I want to be useful to you, but at this
    rate, I won't be able to do anything.
[20:02] Lugh
    Enough.
[20:03] Tarte
    What? But I finally met someone
    who said he needed me!
[20:07] Tarte
    I want to meet your expectations!
[20:10] Tarte
    Give me a little more time!
[20:11] Lugh
    No, let's reconsider our approach.
[20:14] Lugh
    Etaerc latem.
[20:19] Lugh
    It's a spear you can conceal by folding it up.
[20:22] Lugh
    Try it out.
[20:23] Tarte
    Yes, sir.
[20:48] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh...
[20:51] Lugh
    That's what you need.
[20:54] Lugh
    Just like how I need you.
[20:58] Tarte
    Yes, sir!
[21:04] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh, it's morning. Wake up.
[21:09] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh, if you don't get up,
    I'll have to get mischievous.
[21:15] Lugh
    What are you doing here, Tarte?
[21:17] Tarte
    Did you forget, Mr. Lugh?
[21:20] Tarte
    You said I could sleep
    with you if I got lonely.
[21:23] Lugh
    I haven't thought about that in a long time.
[21:25] Tarte
    I thought you'd be tired from
    training with a spear all night.
[21:28] Tarte
    I brought you some herbal tea,
    but you'd already fallen asleep.
[21:33] Tarte
    I thought I'd lie next to you so I could
    watch you sleep for a while, and fell asleep.
[21:40] Lugh
    You must've been tired, too.
[21:42] Lugh
    After all, we were training with
    the weapon you're best with.
[21:44] Tarte
    Thank you!
[21:46] Tarte
    I feel like I can finally
    actually be someone you need.
[21:52] Lugh
    I see. That's good, Tarte.
[21:54] Tarte
    Yes, sir.
[21:56] Lugh
    Everything is going according to my plan.
[21:58] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh!
[22:01] Lugh
    At least, I think it is.
[22:02] Lugh
    Mr. Lugh!
[22:03] ---
    Probably.

[02:57] Tarte
    We had a long spell of dry weather

[03:05] Rack
    Mr. Lugh!
[03:07] Lugh
    Hey, Rack. How's your farm?
[03:09] Rack
    Thanks to the fertilizer you showed me,

[03:14] Lugh
    I'm glad to hear that.
    Your onions are delicious.

[03:41] Pat
    My cow injured its hind leg.
[03:45] Lugh
    Got it. Let's go.
[03:51] Tarte
    Good work today, Mr. Lugh.
[03:54] Tarte
    You're as popular as ever with the people.
[03:57] Lugh
    Yes, that's a good thing,
[04:00] Lugh
    but I've received too many gifts.
[04:02] Lugh
    Can I even use them all before they spoil?
[04:05] Tarte
    This happens every time we visit.
[04:08] Tarte
    It's because you're so kind
    to the people, Mr. Lugh.
[04:10] Lugh
    Gaining gratitude and recognition among the
    people is a necessary part of managing a region.
[04:16] Tarte
    You already protect them
    from bandits and beasts.
[04:19] Tarte
    Is that not enough?
[04:22] Lugh
    No.
[04:24] Lugh
    Strength alone isn't enough to
    capture the hearts of the people.
[04:29] Tarte
    It's so different from the
    place where I was born.
[04:33] Tarte
    Back home, there was a rift between the
    hearts of the people and the lords.
[04:38] Lugh
    I see.
[04:45] Lugh
    Do you wish you'd been born
    in Tuatha Dé instead?
[04:47] Tarte
    No. If I had been, then I wouldn't have had the
    opportunity to become your personal servant.
[04:55] Lugh
    Not true. I would've found
    you no matter where you were.
[05:09] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh, are you so kind to me
    in order to win my heart, as well?
[05:16] Lugh
    Yes. After all, I need you.
[05:19] Tarte
    Of course. I'll serve you forever, Mr. Lugh.
[05:30] Lugh
    They're already full of mana.
[05:32] Lugh
    I learned how to produce Fahr Stones
    by analyzing the one Dia gave me.
[05:36] Lugh
    Since then, I've been carrying them around with
    me, filling them with mana, and storing them.
[05:42] Lugh
    The more I use mana, the more I grow.
[05:45] Lugh
    And by saving them like this,
    I can use them as weapons.
[05:50] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh.
[05:51] Lugh
    Come in.
[05:53] Tarte
    Excuse me.
[05:54] Tarte
    The master said he'd like to speak
    with you in the training room.
[06:04] Lugh
    I'm here, Father.
[06:06] Cian
    Allow me to be direct. How is Tarte?
[06:10] Lugh
    Over the past two years of training,
    she's reached the level of the branch families.
[06:15] Lugh
    She's an incredibly hard worker.
[06:17] Cian
    I'm glad she's making good progress,
    but that's not what I was asking about.
[06:22] Lugh
    I understand. To get straight
    to the point, she's innocent.
[06:25] Cian
    I must've been overthinking it.
[06:27] Cian
    I suspected that Tarte might be a spy
    sent to steal Tuatha Dé techniques.
[06:34] Lugh
    On top of observing her for two years,
[06:36] ---
    I've also been examining her
    through regular conversation.
[06:41] Lugh
    Whether or not she avoids eye contact,
[06:43] ---
    the number of times she blinks,
    whether or not she blushes.
[06:46] Lugh
    Her breathing, pulse, and perspiration.
[06:50] Lugh
    I've observed no signs that she's lying.
[06:52] Cian
    I see. She's a good girl.
    I'm glad we didn't have to kill her.
[06:57] Lugh
    Our meeting was far too
    convenient to be a coincidence.
[07:01] Lugh
    I searched the entire region and
    failed to find anyone with mana,
[07:05] Lugh
    but then happened to meet a
    girl abandoned by her family
[07:08] ---
    who happened to wander into the mountains in
    our territory while I happened to be hunting.
[07:15] Cian
    It's only natural to
    assume someone set it up.
[07:19] Cian
    If it truly was a coincidence,
    then it was the miracle of a lifetime.
[07:24] Lugh
    Yes.
[07:26] Cian
    Down to business.
[07:28] ---
    Your next training exercise
    is also a special test.
[07:31] Lugh
    A test...
[07:33] Cian
    If you pass this test and complete
    one more training exercise,
[07:37] ---
    I'll recognize you as a full member of the
    family and let you handle jobs as an assassin.
[07:44] Lugh
    I'll take your test, Father.
[07:48] Cian
    Then fight me. Whether you
    win or lose doesn't matter.
[07:52] Cian
    Show me what you're capable of.
[08:02] Lugh
    A fight between assassins.
[08:04] Lugh
    It won't be a fair exchange of blows.
[08:07] Lugh
    We'll both try to take
    each other by surprise.
[08:11] Lugh
    Whoever finds their opponent
    first will have the advantage.
[08:21] Lugh
    Tsk!
[08:23] Lugh
    Judging by the arrow's trajectory,
    he's located 50 meters southeast.
[08:31] Lugh
    Found him.
[08:51] Lugh
    Unbelievable. What is he, a monster?
[08:55] Lugh
    My bones will heal immediately
    if I use my skill.
[09:02] Lugh
    I have to keep changing position
    constantly or he'll attack.
[09:04] Lugh
    Moving downwind of your opponent
    in order to hide is standard practice.
[09:13] Lugh
    I'm stronger and faster than him.
[09:15] Lugh
    On top of Tuatha Dé
    assassination techniques,
[09:17] ---
    I have the assassination
    skills from my previous life.
[09:20] Lugh
    But he's leading me around
    by the nose, and I know why.
[09:27] Lugh
    A trap!
[09:34] Lugh
    The trap was a decoy!
[09:57] Lugh
    My father is predicting my movements.
[09:59] Lugh
    The creaking of my muscles, my perspiration,
[10:02] ---
    breathing, gaze, smell,
    and the flow of my mana.
[10:07] Lugh
    It's because he possesses the
    world's finest medical knowledge
[10:09] ---
    and is so familiar with the human body.
[10:14] Lugh
    But I can perform the
    same feats as my father.
[10:18] Lugh
    However, when I attempt to read my father's
    movements, he deceives me using feints.
[10:23] Lugh
    I'm attempting to deceive him,
    but he sees through my feints.
[10:29] Lugh
    Is it the difference in
    our experience levels?
[10:31] Lugh
    Or is it because he's my father?
[10:38] Lugh
    I need to make him let me win.
[10:45] Lugh
    Rather than recklessly moving around so
    he finds me, I'll focus on his movements.
[10:55] Lugh
    I sense two sources of bloodlust
    on the right and left.
[11:03] Lugh
    Since I'm right-handed, my left side is my
    hot side, to which I can respond easily.
[11:07] Lugh
    This one's a decoy.
[11:09] Lugh
    My right side is my cold side,
    where it's harder to attack.
[11:13] Lugh
    He's hoping this one will hit.
[11:16] Lugh
    But that's a feint, as well.
[11:18] Lugh
    He would conceal his bloodlust
    for the actual attack.
[11:21] Lugh
    He's above me!
[11:28] Lugh
    I win.
[11:33] Cian
    It seems that way.
[11:37] Cian
    Good. You pass.
[11:42] Cian
    I can't believe I lost to a 12-year-old child.
[11:46] Cian
    You were holding back, too.
[11:49] Cian
    And I considered myself the finest
    assassin of Tuatha Dé to date.
[11:53] Lugh
    I wasn't holding back.
[11:55] Cian
    You don't think not using magic,
    the thing you're best at, is holding back?
[12:00] Lugh
    Using spells would've rendered
    this fight meaningless.
[12:04] Lugh
    You said yourself that this was both
    a training exercise and a test.
[12:08] Lugh
    If I'd used magic to defeat you,
    it wouldn't have counted as training.
[12:11] Cian
    That's exactly right. You saw
    through the meaning of my words.
[12:16] Cian
    That's what I was testing in this exercise.
[12:19] Cian
    It's important that an assassin
    never lose sight of his goals.
[12:28] Cian
    I have nothing left to teach you.
[12:32] Cian
    Now you just need experience.
[12:34] Lugh
    No, I still have much to learn.
[12:36] Lugh
    I simply came out ahead on a suicidal gamble.
[12:40] Cian
    You've mastered all our techniques.
[12:42] Cian
    You must walk on your own two feet now.
[12:45] Cian
    Find what you need to become stronger.
[12:49] Cian
    Eventually you'll be put
    through your final test.
[12:51] Cian
    Until then, you'll assist me with my work.
[12:55] Lugh
    Yes, Father.

[13:18] Noble A
    Now, what's next?
[14:07] Lugh
    Your method was rather sloppy this time.
[14:10] Cian
    Remove his clothes and take his valuables.
[14:13] Lugh
    We're going to make this look
    like the work of bandits?
[14:16] Cian
    This noble conspired with
    bandits to commit evil deeds.
[14:20] Cian
    By making it look like he
    was betrayed by bandits,
[14:23] ---
    we can prevent others from doing the same.
[14:25] Lugh
    I see. That's a good way to do that.
[14:29] Cian
    Seems like a common cold.
[14:31] Noble H
    My lungs haven't gotten worse again?
[14:34] Cian
    I wouldn't worry about that.
[14:36] Noble H
    If you say so, Dr. Cian.
[14:39] Noble H
    Give the doctor his reward.
[14:40] Cian
    That's not necessary.
[14:43] Noble H
    No, please.
[14:45] Noble H
    You're a busy man, and you
    came all the way out here.
[14:48] Cian
    I see. In that case, I gratefully accept.
[14:56] Lugh
    He wasn't sick enough for you
    to pay him a visit after all.
[15:00] Cian
    You're right. Did you notice anything?
[15:04] Lugh
    He had more guards than before,
[15:06] ---
    and the defensive barrier within
    the grounds had been strengthened.
[15:09] Lugh
    If he's ever our target, we'll have to
    think carefully about how we'll enter.
[15:15] Cian
    Correct. You'll make a great assassin, Lugh.
[15:19] Cian
    It's almost frightening.
[15:21] Lugh
    Because I'm your son.
[15:24] Cian
    Lugh, I still haven't told
    you about the final test.
[15:29] Lugh
    Yes, Father.
[15:29] Cian
    A noble's castle is like a fortress.
[15:32] Cian
    They're heavily guarded
    and difficult to enter.
[15:35] Cian
    Sometimes we conceal our identities
    and approach from the front.
[15:40] Lugh
    I did the same in my previous life.
[15:43] Lugh
    Chefs, teachers, pianists...
[15:46] Lugh
    I used a variety of identities
    to get close to my targets.
[15:50] Cian
    In order to do that, I possess
    a number of false identities.
[15:53] Cian
    I frequently disguise myself
    as a chef or merchant.
[15:57] Lugh
    Are you telling me to become a chef, as well?
[15:59] Cian
    No, become a merchant.
[16:02] Cian
    Nobles will defenselessly invite in a merchant
    who can acquire the goods they desire.
[16:07] Cian
    If they run a well-known
    trading company, that is.
[16:11] Lugh
    And you have the connections to do that.
[16:15] Cian
    I arranged for a fictional person
    to be born at the same time as you.
[16:20] Cian
    The head of the Balor Trading Company fathered
    a child named Illig Balor with a prostitute.
[16:26] Cian
    Even if anyone examines your family
    register, you won't be found out.
[16:29] Lugh
    Balor is a prominent trading company
    in the merchant town of Milteu.
[16:34] Lugh
    I'm surprised they agreed to
    forge their family register.
[16:37] Cian
    They owed me a favor from a long time ago.
[16:40] Cian
    The Balor Trading Company's
    contacts and information network
[16:43] ---
    surpass even those of
    royal intelligence agents.
[16:46] Cian
    Lugh, until you turn 14, you'll train
    to become a merchant as Balor's son.
[16:53] Lugh
    Very well. I'll train until I
    can visit nobles as Illig Balor.
[17:02] Cian
    To my son, Lugh Tuatha Dé,
    as he departs for his final trial.
[17:08] Cian
    May the Alvan Kingdom prosper.
[17:10] All
    May the Alvan Kingdom prosper!
[17:13] Esri
    Get plenty to eat, everyone.
[17:16] Cian
    I probably sound like a doting father,
    but Lugh is exceptionally talented.
[17:22] Cian
    He'll surely become an even greater head
    of the House of Tuatha Dé than me.
[17:26] Relative A
    The final test at 12 years old?
    He's the youngest ever to do it.
[17:30] Relative B
    He has your endorsement at that age?
[17:33] Relative B
    The future of the House of Tuatha Dé is secure.
[17:35] Relative C
    Once he completes the final test, he'll be
    eligible to become the next head of the house.
[17:40] Lugh
    It's all thanks to your guidance.
[17:42] Relative A
    Spoken like the next head of the house!
[17:46] Lugh
    Take this away.
[17:47] Tarte
    Yes, sir.
[17:48] Ronah
    You asshole!
[17:49] Ronah
    I refuse to accept such a young
    boy as the next head of the house!
[17:57] Ronah Father
    Ronah, behave yourself!
[17:59] Ronah
    Shut up! I know you don't
    like it either, Dad.
[18:01] Ronah Father
    Ronah!
[18:02] Cian
    It's fine. Let me handle this.
[18:05] Ronah Father
    Mr. Cian...
[18:06] Cian
    Ronah, what is it about
    Lugh that displeases you?
[18:09] Ronah
    I was supposed to be next
    in line after Ruff died.
[18:14] Ronah
    It doesn't make sense that
    it's this scrawny kid instead.
[18:17] Ronah
    I'm stronger! I should become
    the next head of the house!
[18:21] Cian
    Then if Lugh is stronger than you,
[18:24] ---
    would you recognize him as
    the next head of the house?
[18:27] Ronah
    Yeah, of course.
[18:29] ---
    But if I'm stronger, then I'll become
    the next head of the house instead.
[18:33] Cian
    Very well. Then you shall fight immediately.
[18:37] Ronah
    Sure! Wha—
[18:44] Cian
    It would seem that Lugh is stronger than you.
[18:47] Cian
    Does this satisfy you?
[18:49] Ronah
    Th-That was a dirty trick!
[18:50] Cian
    That's how an assassin of Tuatha Dé
    works. We're not like knights.
[18:55] Cian
    Lugh, put your knife away.
[18:58] Ronah
    I never surrendered.
[19:04] Ronah
    You brat! Let go!
[19:09] Lugh
    I broke it cleanly.
[19:11] Lugh
    If he has mana, it should heal in two days
    if treated with Tuatha Dé techniques.
[19:15] Cian
    Even if you fought normally,
    Lugh is stronger.
[19:18] Cian
    Strength isn't important, but it's necessary.
[19:22] Cian
    Because he's prepared for anything
    that might happen, he can act boldly.
[19:25] Ronah
    Damn it!
[19:28] Cian
    What do you think?
    My son isn't too bad, is he?
[19:31] Cian
    He's a genius whose medical and
    assassination skills exceed my own.
[19:48] Ronah
    What do you want? Did you come to insult me?
[19:51] Lugh
    No, I thought you might be feeling down.
[19:54] Ronah
    I don't feel down.
[19:56] Ronah
    I'm irritated by how pathetic I am.
[19:58] Ronah
    I've always been stronger than anyone
    else from the branch families,
[20:02] ---
    and I was beaten by a kid
    four years younger than me.
[20:04] Lugh
    In that case, my father was beaten
    by a child 30 years younger than him.
[20:09] Ronah
    Hey, wait. You mean that rumor's true?
[20:13] Lugh
    I beat the finest Tuatha Dé in history.
[20:16] Lugh
    There's nothing you can do to beat me.
[20:19] Lugh
    But you don't need to.
[20:22] Ronah
    What do you mean?
[20:23] Lugh
    If you become my subordinate when
    I become the head of the house,
[20:26] ---
    I promise you'll be treated
    even better than you are now.
[20:29] Ronah
    What?
[20:30] Lugh
    At last year's young knight tournament,
    there were only four knights stronger than you.
[20:36] Ronah
    Is that supposed to be a compliment?
[20:38] Lugh
    Yes, and an invitation.
[20:41] Lugh
    I want you, Ronah.
[20:42] Lugh
    Not as an assassin,
    but as a knight of Tuatha Dé.
[20:47] Ronah
    I suppose it's better than being flattered
    out of some odd attempt at consideration.
[20:50] Ronah
    I don't dislike it.
[20:53] Lugh
    This is a gift.
[20:54] Ronah
    What is it?
[20:57] Ronah
    It's unbelievably light.
[20:59] Lugh
    Swords suit you better than knives.
[21:02] Lugh
    I'd like you to become
    my subordinate one day.
[21:05] Ronah
    Get out of here.
[21:08] Ronah
    Lugh, by the time you return from your test,
[21:12] ---
    I'll have become a better knight.
[21:15] Lugh
    Ronah...
[21:17] Ronah
    Good luck with your test.
[21:20] Lugh
    Thanks.
[21:24] Lugh
    You don't have to come with me, Tarte.
[21:26] Tarte
    No, Mr. Lugh. I'm your personal servant.
[21:30] Esri
    Tarte, look after Lugh for me.
[21:33] Tarte
    Yes, ma'am. I'll do exactly as I was taught.
[21:37] Tarte
    Uh, n-nothing.
[21:40] Cian
    Two years will fly by.
[21:42] Cian
    Go enjoy a different life to the fullest.
[21:45] Lugh
    Yes, Father.
[21:50] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh, I'm excited for Milteu.
[21:54] Lugh
    No.
[21:56] Lugh
    Not Lugh.
[21:58] Lugh
    From this moment on, I'm Illig Balor.

    Got it!
[05:40] Maha
    Everyone, run!
[05:42] Lloyd
    They're our meal ticket!
    Don't let them escape!
[05:44] Bad Man C
    Damn brats!
[05:46] Bad Man B
    Stop!
[05:54] Connor
    No!
[05:55] Noine
    Connor!
[05:56] Noine
    Let go!
[05:56] Bad Man F
    Whoa, there.
[05:58] Noine
    Asshole!
[05:58] Bad Man F
    Quit struggling!
[06:00] Maha
    Connor! Noine!
[06:04] Lloyd
    Job's done! Let's get them out of here!
[06:04] Maha
    Let me go!
[06:06] Maha
    You can't be serious! What are you doing?!
[06:07] Bad Man D
    Yes, sir!
[06:08] Bad Man D
    Quit struggling!
[06:21] Connor
    What's going to happen to us?
[06:42] Lloyd
    Get out. Don't make a sound.
[06:48] Torran
    Nice work, Lloyd.
[06:50] Lloyd
    It was no problem at all, Mr. Torran.
[06:53] Torran
    As of today, the Torran Orphanage
    will be your home.
[06:59] Maha
    Orphanage?
[07:00] Torran
    I am Torran, the director.
[07:03] Torran
    My orders are absolute. Don't forget that.
[07:06] Noine
    We live just fine on our own!
[07:09] Noine
    We're not entering an orphanage!
[07:12] Maha & Conner
    Noine!
[07:13] Torran
    Those who defy me will be shown no mercy.
[07:15] Torran
    Neither will those who attempt to escape.
[07:17] Torran
    Don't cause any problems and
    behave yourselves. Got it?
[07:26] Lloyd
    Get in there.
[07:30] Maha
    Guys! They caught you, too?
[07:33] Ifa
    Yeah.
[07:34] Noine
    What's going on?
[07:38] Ifa
    Apparently, they did it for the bounty.
[07:40] Maha
    What bounty?
[07:41] Kerry
    The guys who captured us mentioned it.
[07:44] Ifa
    The lord's wife offers a lot of money for
    helping kids who don't have families.
[07:50] Noine
    So that's what they meant by "meal ticket."
[07:53] Lloyd
    Here.
[07:54] Lloyd
    Dinner.
[07:58] Michelle
    How are we supposed to eat that?
[08:00] Lloyd
    Make something yourselves.
[08:02] Connor
    But...
[08:03] Lloyd
    That's a week's worth of food.
[08:10] Maha
    Let's cook together.
[08:12] Noine
    Okay.
[08:22] Noine
    I never thought we'd end up living
    in a house with a roof like this.
[08:27] Maha
    Yeah.
[08:28] Connor
    We get to eat proper meals, too.
[08:31] Maha
    But that's supposed to last us a whole week.
[08:34] Michelle
    We ate more than that until yesterday.
[08:37] Kerry
    It tasted better, too.
[08:40] Maha
    Kind shop owners always sold
    us their leftovers for cheap.
[08:44] Connor
    Yeah.
[08:45] Noine
    What's going to happen to us?
[08:56] Bad Man B
    Hurry up and hang those!
[08:58] Michelle
    Yes, sir.
[08:59] Bad Man C
    This isn't your only job!
[09:01] Connor
    Yes, sir.
[09:03] Connor
    Ow!
[09:11] Lloyd
    You're working too slow!
[09:14] Lloyd
    You won't get us any money working like that!
[09:16] Michelle
    Connor! Please stop!
[09:19] Lloyd
    God, you're annoying!
[09:28] Lloyd
    Stay in there and shut up.
[09:31] Lloyd
    Now you know what happens if you defy me!
[09:33] Lloyd
    You'd better not slack off.
[09:35] Torran
    Is something the matter?
[09:37] Torran
    It's good to discipline them,
    but they're merchandise.
[09:40] Torran
    Don't go too hard on them.
[09:41] Lloyd
    Yes, sir.
[09:42] Torran
    Viscount Hermel, this way, please.
[09:46] Hermel
    I had no idea this place existed.
[09:48] Torran
    Anything can be found in the
    merchant town of Milteu.
[09:52] Torran
    Take a look.
[10:09] Hermel
    Torran, I've made my decision.
[10:12] Hermel
    Have her brought to my lodgings tonight.
[10:14] Torran
    Thank you.

[12:46] Ifa
    Don't look!
[12:49] Ifa
    Please, don't look.
[12:56] Ifa
    Don't look at me.
[13:26] Torran
    Don't worry too much about her makeup.
[13:29] Maha
    Huh?
[13:30] Torran
    Today she's entertaining me.
[13:44] Lloyd
    Ifa, come here.
[13:47] Lloyd
    Maha, you, too.
[13:49] Maha
    Yes, sir.

[13:54] Lloyd
    Huh?
[13:55] Noine
    Why is it always Ifa?
[13:57] Connor
    Yeah!
[13:58] Michelle
    Stop being so mean to her!
[14:00] Lloyd
    What? Don't get the wrong idea.
[14:03] Lloyd
    The rest of you are merchandise, too!
[14:17] Noine
    It's all the same, anyway.
[14:21] Noine
    Someday this will be the
    only job I'm able to do.
[14:30] Noine
    But we had you, Maha.
    All of us were working together.
[14:35] Noine
    I thought even we could find happiness.
[14:40] Noine
    But... But...!
[14:48] Maha
    Noine! Noine!
[14:49] Maha
    Stop! Stop!
[14:55] Maha

    my face looks like this.
SIGN    2 Years Later
[15:27] Torran
    How old is Maha now?
[15:30] Lloyd
    I believe she's 12 years old.
[15:32] Torran
    Lately, I've felt an overwhelming
    urge to force her down.
[15:36] Torran
    She's probably old enough to
    get her own customers by now.
[15:39] Lloyd
    She's beautiful and a virgin.
    She'll go for a good price.
[15:43] Torran
    Perhaps I'll enjoy her after she's been sold.
[15:47] Torran
    I bet she feels amazing.
[16:07] Maha
    If I use this, too...
[16:14] Maha
    Then I...
[16:15] Illig
    Tears don't suit you.
[16:22] Illig
    You'd be cuter if you smiled.
[16:26] Maha
    What?
[16:31] Torran
    This is the executive and son of the
    Balor Trading Company, Mr. Illig Balor.
[16:38] Torran
    He says he's willing to take one of you in.
[16:43] Torran
    Mr. Illig is looking for someone
    to serve as his right hand.
[16:48] Torran
    Why don't you begin by
    hearing what he has to say?
[16:53] Illig
    What's your name?
[16:54] Maha
    Maha.
[16:56] Illig
    Maha, I want you. Come work for me.
[17:12] Illig
    Director Torran, I'd like this girl.
[17:15] Torran
    You have a good eye.
    However, that girl is a bit special.
[17:20] Torran
    She costs double—no, even more than that.
[17:24] Illig
    Very well.
[17:26] Tarte
    Mr. Torran, please accept this payment.
[17:29] Torran
    Ah, what's this?
[17:33] Torran
    This is certainly enough, but I
    can't hand her over to you today.
[17:38] Torran
    Maha needs to get ready.
[17:40] Torran
    How about three days from now?
[17:43] Illig
    I see. Then I'll be back in three days.
[17:47] Maha
    I won't be spending that time getting ready.
[17:49] Maha
    He probably intends to pimp me
    out and then toy with me himself.
[17:58] Illig
    Director Torran,
[17:59] ---
    now that we've come to an agreement and
    I've paid for her, she's part of my family.
[18:05] Illig
    Don't forget that.
[18:07] Torran
    Of course.
[18:09] Illig
    I'll see you later, Maha.
[18:19] Noine
    It's awful.
[18:21] Noine
    If only he could take you
    while you're still pure.
[18:27] Noine
    I'm still jealous, though.
[18:29] Noine
    You're getting out of this place.
[18:31] Noine
    Maybe he would've chosen me
    if I didn't have these scars.
[18:36] Maha
    Noine...
[18:37] Noine
    Did I do something stupid?
[18:42] Maha
    Noine... Noine...
[18:49] Torran
    A regular of mine has come to Milteu.
[18:53] Torran
    As a virgin, you'll fetch a high price,
[18:55] Torran
    and I can enjoy you for
    the remaining two days.
[18:59] Torran
    It's only a Balor brat who's taking you in.
[19:02] Torran
    He won't mind used goods.
[19:04] Maha
    Just three days.
[19:06] Maha
    If I can endure the next three
    days, I can go live with him.
[19:12] Maha
    My prince...
[19:14] Torran
    If that brat had arrived a month later,
    I could've enjoyed my fill of you.
[19:21] Maha
    No. I don't want to be defiled
    before I go to live with him!
[19:29] Torran
    Lloyd, stop her!
[19:37] Maha
    Why?
[19:38] Lloyd
    You're not the only one with mana.
[19:41] Maha
    Please let me go!
[19:42] Lloyd
    Yeah, sure. If you'll sleep with me in return.
[19:49] Lloyd
    I always get the director's hand-me-downs.
[19:51] Lloyd
    Sometimes I like to enjoy new goods.
[19:56] Lloyd
    You!
[19:58] Illig
    I told you, she's my family.
[20:03] Lloyd
    What are you doing here?!
[20:04] Illig
    Her eyes were asking for help back then.
[20:12] Illig
    Come, Maha.
[20:16] Torran
    Wait!
[20:19] Torran
    You can't do that. You're supposed
    to take her with you in three days.
[20:24] Illig
    I can't expose my family to danger.
[20:26] Torran
    Then I have no choice.
[20:29] Torran
    Take care of them.
[20:30] Lloyd
    We'd be making an enemy of
    the Balor Trading Company.
[20:33] Torran
    Say they're missing and sell them
    off to a neighboring kingdom.
[20:37] Lloyd
    I can handle that.
[20:39] Maha
    Run! He has mana!
[20:41] Illig
    I know.
[20:45] Torran
    Brat!
[20:48] Torran
    Ow, ow, ow!
[20:51] Illig
    I'm fine with seeing you punished by the
    law or taking the law into my own hands.
[21:00] Hermel
    You're late!
[21:09] Hermel
    What do we have here?
[21:12] Tarte
    No! Help!
[21:16] Hermel
    Who the hell are you?
[21:18] Guard A
    By Director Torran's testimony, you're under
    arrest for illegal human trafficking.
[21:23] Hermel
    You're committing this outrage
    knowing I'm Viscount Hermel?
[21:26] Guard A
    We've received orders from the lord!
[21:28] Hermel
    Damn you!
[21:31] Hermel
    Let go of me!
[21:36] Michelle
    Come on, hurry up.
[21:38] Noine
    What is it, Michelle?
[21:40] Kerry
    Have a seat.
[21:42] Connor
    Look in the mirror.
[21:43] Noine
    No. I don't want to see my own.. face...
[21:49] Ifa
    Well? You see?
[21:50] Noine
    How?
[21:55] Illig
    Let's go home, Maha.
[21:59] Maha
    Yes, sir. Take me away, my prince.

[00:05] Illig
    How are you feeling, Brother?
[00:09] Beruid
    Much better, Mr. Illig.
[00:13] Balor
    Good. You'll be able to
    return to work, Beruid.
[00:17] Beruid
    Yes, Father, thanks to Mr. Illig's surgery.
[00:21] Illig
    As I've mentioned previously,
[00:24] ---
    please don't tell anyone that
    I performed surgery on you.
[00:27] Illig
    Not even your own mother.
[00:30] Beruid
    I know.
[00:33] Balor
    No wonder you're the next head of Tuatha Dé,
    a house famous for its medical techniques.
[00:37] Balor
    I can't thank you enough.
[00:40] Illig
    You don't need to thank me.
[00:42] Illig
    After all, Mr. Beruid is my brother.
[00:44] Balor
    I added the name Illig Balor to my family
    registry to repay a debt to your father,
[00:51] ---
    but I'm indebted to your family yet again.
[00:54] Balor
    How can I repay you?
[00:56] Illig
    Well, you could remain a family
    I can return to at any time.
[01:02] Balor
    That's certainly a good
    backup plan for an assassin.
[01:06] Balor
    Ah, that's right.
    I completed the adoption process.
[01:10] Balor
    These documents are real.
[01:12] Illig
    Thank you.
[01:14] Balor
    Our family has gained a new member.
[01:17] Illig
    Now you're officially my younger sister.
[01:21] Illig
    As of today, your name is...
[01:24] Illig
    Maha Balor.
[01:26] Maha
    Yes, Brother Illig.

[03:04] Illig
    Father, how can I help you today?
[03:08] Balor
    Take a look at this.
[03:10] Illig
    It's a nice shop. You could
    do anything with that.
[03:13] Balor
    The Balor Trading Company
    sells all kinds of products.
[03:17] Balor
    We provisionally made
    this shop a liquor store,
[03:21] Balor
    but it failed spectacularly,
    so we're moving on to the next idea.
[03:26] Balor
    I'd like you to run this store.
[03:28] Balor
    I'm sure you'll breathe new life into it.
[03:31] Illig
    It's only been six months since I came here.
[03:34] Balor
    Normally, I wouldn't ask you to
    do this, but you're exceptional.
[03:39] Balor
    Let me tell you something.
[03:41] Balor
    More than anything else, a merchant
    needs to be a good judge of character.
[03:45] Balor
    And I am a first-class merchant.
[03:48] Balor
    My judgment is telling me that you can do it.
[03:52] Illig
    Very well. I'll give it a shot.
[03:56] Illig
    I'm back.
[03:58] Tarte
    Welcome back, Mr. Illig.
[04:00] Maha
    Welcome back, Brother Illig.
[04:02] Illig
    Sorry I'm late.
[04:05] Maha
    Tarte and I made the soup.
[04:08] Maha
    I'm confident you'll like
    the bacon steak I made.
[04:10] Illig
    It looks good.
[04:12] Tarte
    My dish is just as good.
[04:15] Tarte
    Have some of this, Mr. Illig.
[04:21] Illig
    I received a new job from Father today.
[04:24] ---
    He put me in charge of a shop.
[04:26] Tarte
    Impressive work, Mr. Illig.
[04:28] Maha
    I'm proud of your achievements, Brother.
[04:31] Illig
    This will be a secret matter.
[04:34] Illig
    I'm going to do something completely
    different with this store.
[04:37] Tarte
    Something different?
[04:39] Illig
    There are two important goals for this job.
[04:42] Illig
    The first is to make money.
[04:43] Maha
    That will allow you to keep the
    store open for a long time.
[04:46] Illig
    The second is to stock
    merchandise targeted at nobles.
[04:50] Tarte
    In order to get closer to them.
[04:52] Tarte
    In other words, you plan to use
    the store for your assassinations.
[04:55] Illig
    So I'm going to create a store for women.
[04:58] Illig
    We'll sell primarily cosmetics,
    as well as sweets.
[05:01] Tarte
    How wonderful.
[05:04] Maha
    But there are many famous shops
    like that in Milteu already.
[05:07] Maha
    Won't it be difficult to enter the market?
[05:10] Illig
    I have a plan.
[05:18] Illig
    I am currently 13 years old.
[05:21] Illig
    In other words, I must assassinate
    the Hero within five years.
[05:25] Illig
    And to do that, I need to become stronger.
[05:36] Illig
    All right.
[05:37] Both
    Thank you.
[05:42] Illig
    Tarte was abandoned by her parents.
[05:44] Illig
    Maha lost hers.
[05:47] Illig
    They occasionally seek human warmth.
[05:51] Maha
    I hope the job goes well.
[05:53] Tarte
    You have our support.
[05:55] Illig
    Thank you. I'm able to work
    so hard because of you two.
[05:58] Maha
    Let us know if there's anything we can do.
[06:00] Tarte
    We'll do anything to help.
[06:02] Illig
    I'm counting on it.
[06:05] Illig
    Both of them are infatuated with me.
[06:07] Illig
    The Balor family trusts me completely, too.
[06:11] Illig
    I've acquired good pawns.
[06:14] Illig
    All according to plan.
[06:22] Illig
    Father, Mother, thank you
    for making time for me.
[06:26] Balor
    You work quickly, Illig.
[06:28] Balor
    I can't believe you created
    a prototype in two days.
[06:31] Mira
    You'd better not have brought
    us something useless.
[06:35] Mira
    Regardless, given you are his
    bastard son, I hardly like you.
[06:39] Illig
    I believe I have something that
    will meet your expectations.
[06:43] Illig
    I plan to make cosmetics
    my new store's key product.
[06:47] Balor
    But brand matters more than quality
    when it comes to cosmetics.
[06:50] Balor
    It's difficult to make it as
    a newcomer in that market.
[06:53] Illig
    I'm sure it would be, if I were
    selling an existing cosmetic.
[06:57] Illig
    Cosmetics make women beautiful.
[07:00] Illig
    But removing cosmetics takes
    the skin's oil with it.
[07:04] Illig
    Without oil, the skin's moisture escapes,
[07:06] ---
    causing the skin to dry out
    and suffer further damage.
[07:10] Mira
    I won't deny that.
[07:12] Mira
    But we use cosmetics for
    beauty in spite of that.
[07:15] Illig
    The cost of using them is damaged skin.
[07:19] Illig
    I want to free women from that problem.
[07:23] Illig
    That's what this product does.
[07:26] Illig
    I call it moisturizer.
[07:29] Illig
    Lotions and moisturizers don't
    exist in this world yet.
[07:33] Illig
    In other words, this is this
    world's first moisturizer.
[07:36] Mira
    Moisturizer? How does it work?
[07:39] Illig
    It's a cosmetic that moisturizes dry
    skin and preserves its condition.
[07:56] Illig
    Makeups dress up a person in false
    beauty, but this is different.
[08:01] Illig
    Rather than decorating, this product
    heals and protects the skin.
[08:04] Illig
    It makes the skin beautiful to begin with.
[08:07] Mira
    I don't believe it.
    My skin is so moist and smooth.
[08:11] Mira
    It's been so long since my skin was like this.
[08:14] Balor
    Is this oil?
[08:16] Balor
    No, it's too fresh for that.
[08:19] Illig
    That's precisely what moisturizer is.
[08:21] Mira
    This is marvelous.
[08:23] Mira
    I can tell how happy my skin is.
[08:26] Illig
    The moisturizer also serves as
    armor that protects the skin.
[08:29] Illig
    Try applying makeup over it.
[08:32] Mira
    I shall.
[08:36] Illig
    This will revolutionize cosmetics.
[08:39] Illig
    It won't replace existing cosmetics.
[08:42] Illig
    Applying this moisturizer in addition
    to cosmetics will become the norm.
[08:47] Balor
    I see.
[08:48] Mira
    You're right. The makeup sits
    on top of it wonderfully.
[08:53] Illig
    Do you like it?
[08:56] Mira
    I hate you.
[08:59] Mira
    But I'll be keeping this.
[09:02] Balor
    Mira, do you think your friends
    would want that moisturizer, too?
[09:06] Mira
    I can't imagine a woman
    who wouldn't want this.
[09:11] Mira
    I came here intending to mock and
    disparage whatever you made, Illig,
[09:16] Mira
    but that thought has been
    banished from my mind.
[09:19] Mira
    I'd call this whore's child my own son if it
    meant I could get more of this moisturizer.
[09:25] Balor
    You like it that much?
[09:29] Balor
    I'll focus the Balor Trading Company's
    resources on this moisturizer.
[09:33] Balor
    Mira, distribute it to your friends
    and spread the word about it.
[09:38] Balor
    Illig, how much can you produce in a week?
[09:41] Illig
    Currently, it's just me, so I can
    make 200 bottles a week at most.
[09:45] Balor
    You can hire more people.
[09:47] Illig
    If you don't mind people finding
    out how it's produced, then I will.
[09:51] Illig
    The moment we start selling the moisturizer,
    other companies will think to copy us.
[09:56] Balor
    I was too hasty.
[09:59] Balor
    How long will it take to
    set up mass production?
[10:02] Illig
    About a month.
[10:04] Illig
    But there is one problem.
[10:06] Balor
    What is it?
[10:08] Illig
    This product combines water and oil,
    two substances that don't normally mix.
[10:14] Illig
    Producing it requires a
    secret Tuatha Dé medicine.
[10:17] Balor
    Tuatha Dé?
[10:19] Illig
    These are the estimated
    necessary expenditures.
[10:23] Balor
    The cost is no problem,
    but Tuatha Dé is rather far from here.
[10:27] Illig
    That's what makes the secret
    so difficult to uncover.
[10:30] Illig
    I can't make the moisturizer
    without this medicine.
[10:33] Illig
    In Tuatha Dé, we can protect this secret,
[10:36] ---
    and I can make them promise not
    to sell it to other companies.
[10:43] Balor
    I see. Very well, I'll allow it.
[10:46] Balor
    You'll handle the negotiations.
[10:48] Illig
    Understood.
[10:54] Tarte
    Sounds like it'll go well.
[10:56] Illig
    Yes. We need lecithin to mix oil and water.
[10:59] Illig
    It's made from soybeans.
[11:01] Illig
    They can be grown in Tuatha Dé.
[11:03] Tarte
    If we're able to sell a lot of this,
    it will benefit Tuatha Dé, as well.
[11:07] Tarte
    And even if people find
    out where it's produced,
[11:10] ---
    nobody could sneak onto the land of
    noble assassins and steal their secrets.
[11:15] Illig
    I won't teach the Balor Trading Company
    how to produce lecithin, either.
[11:19] Illig
    It'll guarantee they can't cast me aside
    once I'm no longer useful to them.
[11:23] Tarte
    Impressive as always, Mr. Illig.
[11:25] Illig
    Yes. Everything's going according to plan.

    Please get in line if you're visiting Orna!
[11:42] Connor
    Thank you for waiting.
[11:44] Connor
    The Balor Trading Company's cosmetics
    brand store Orna is now open.
[11:49] Michelle
    Stay calm and take your

[11:54] Ifa
    I'm sorry, but we're limiting each

[11:59] Customer A
    Really?
[12:00] Customer A
    But I've been in line since this morning.
[12:02] Ifa
    I'm terribly sorry.
[12:06] Noine
    Assistant manager, I've got
    a message from the factory.
[12:09] Noine
    They should be able to ship
    more emulsions this afternoon.
[12:11] Maha
    Got it. We'll run a tie-in sale
    for the additional product.
[12:15] Noine
    Yes, ma'am. I'll check our inventory.
[12:17] Maha
    Noine, wait.
[12:21] Maha
    This is a cosmetics shop.
[12:23] Maha
    Employees should keep their
    makeup looking sharp.
[12:26] Maha
    There. You look lovely, Noine.
[12:28] Noine
    Thank you, Maha.
[12:32] Illig
    I never thought Orna would grow
    this much in just six months.
[12:36] Tarte
    We've received invitations
    from the lords of Milteu,
[12:39] ---
    as well as princesses from
    neighboring kingdoms.
[12:43] Illig
    Orna's Illig Balor is a famous man.
[12:46] Illig
    I can sneak in anywhere now.
    This has been a huge success.
[12:50] Tarte
    Yes, sir. The shop overflows
    with your kindness.
[12:55] Illig
    What makes you say that?
[12:58] Tarte
    You hired Maha's friends.
[13:01] Tarte
    Everyone's so lively.
    They seem to be having fun.
[13:04] Illig
    It wasn't me who chose them.
    It was Maha's decision.
[13:08] Tarte
    Still.
[13:10] Illig
    Young women with beautiful skin make
    perfect representatives for the store.
[13:15] Illig
    Because they've been close since they were
    children, she has good control over them.
[13:18] Illig
    They're quick learners, too.
[13:21] Illig
    Because of that, the store
    has been growing quickly.
[13:23] Illig
    It's a good plan.
[13:24] Tarte
    Mr. Illig, you're not very honest.
[13:27] Illig
    You sound like my mother.
[13:29] Illig
    Anyway, how's security?
[13:31] Tarte
    Spies sent by our competitors
    sneak into the factory daily.
[13:35] Tarte
    They bribe our employees daily, too.
[13:37] Tarte
    But they haven't figured out
    how to acquire lecithin.
[13:41] Illig
    Good, but they should be
    running out of patience soon.
[13:50] Illig
    Many people want to sell moisturizer,
[13:52] Illig
    but they can't steal
    our production method.
[13:55] Illig
    It's only logical that they'd target
    someone who definitely knows it.
[13:59] Illig
    I sense one person.
[14:01] Illig
    They're approaching this bedroom.
[14:04] Illig
    They're rather skilled, too.
    They're a first-class spy.
[14:07] Illig
    They probably intend to kidnap me and
    extract our production method from me.
[14:11] Illig
    But...
[14:27] Tarte
    I applied a neurotoxin to the blade.
[14:29] Tarte
    They won't be able to lift a finger.
[14:34] Maha
    Intruder secured.
[14:37] Illig
    I'm impressed the two of
    you noticed the intruder.
[14:39] Illig
    I'm proud of you.
[14:41] Tarte
    I'm pleased to hear that.
[14:43] Maha
    It motivates me for what comes next.
[14:55] Illig
    I made some herbal tea.
[14:57] Tarte
    Thank you, Mr. Illig.
[14:59] Maha
    You could've gone to sleep without us.
[15:02] Illig
    You've stripped him naked to humiliate
    him and make him feel powerless.
[15:06] Illig
    You remembered the basics of torture.
[15:09] Tarte
    You can't say that out loud.
[15:11] Tarte
    If he hears you, it won't be as effective.
[15:15] Maha
    Should we let you live if you tell us who
    hired you, or shall we kill you regardless?
[15:25] Maha
    You have to choose.
    It changes how much we'll break you.
[15:29] Tarte
    You're going to let someone who
    attempted to hurt Mr. Illig live?
[15:35] Maha
    I just thought I'd ask.
[15:38] Illig
    Prisoners rarely confess unless you give
    them hope that they'll be allowed to live.
[15:43] Maha
    It's all right. I'll assume you
    want us to kill him quickly.

    Here's your lunch, Mr. Illig.
[16:59] Illig
    Thank you.
[17:01] Illig
    Tarte and Maha, do you have
    any plans for your day off?
[17:04] Tarte
    I'm going shopping with Maha.
[17:06] Illig
    Have fun.
[17:07] Maha
    We will.
[17:08] Illig
    I'll be back late tonight. See you later.
[17:18] Tarte
    He's gone.
[17:19] Maha
    I feel lonely on this one day every month.
[17:23] Tarte
    I'm his servant.
[17:25] Maha
    And I'm his sister.
[17:34] Tarte
    Shall we treat ourselves to a special meal?
[17:37] Maha
    Yeah, let's go all-out.
[17:50] Dia
    It's good to see you again, Lugh.
[17:52] Lugh
    Haven't seen you since last month, Dia.
[17:54] Lugh
    I've brought you some
    treats from across the sea.
[17:57] Dia
    Really? I've acquired some
    delicious herbal tea, as well.
[18:01] Dia
    Come in.
[18:02] Lugh
    All right.
[18:10] Dia
    Here are this month's spells.
[18:12] Dia
    Interesting, right?
[18:14] Lugh
    I'm impressed you came up with these.
[18:16] Lugh
    What's this?
[18:17] Lugh
    You completed this?
[18:18] Dia
    Surprised?
[18:20] Lugh
    I'll transcribe it immediately.
[18:23] Lugh
    All right. You should be
    able to cast this spell now.
[18:26] Dia
    Got it. Here we go.
[18:29] Dia
    Esrever ytivarg.
[18:35] Lugh
    A gravity reversal spell.
[18:37] Lugh
    You got me. I can't believe
    you beat me to it.
[18:40] Dia
    I approached it from a different angle.
[18:42] Dia
    Have you gained a little
    respect for your big sister?
[18:45] Illig
    I already respected you.
[18:49] Dia
    Is that the gift you brought?
[18:51] Lugh
    Yes.
[18:51] Dia
    Huh... Black treats don't
    look particularly nice.
[18:59] Dia
    But they're bittersweet, rich, and tasty!
[19:02] Lugh
    I'd been thinking about selling
    sweets under the Orna brand, too.
[19:05] Dia
    Good idea. They go well with tea.
[19:08] Dia
    They'd probably make a nice cake, too.
[19:10] Lugh
    I see. I'll bring more next month.
[19:13] Dia
    Okay. I look forward to it.
[20:02] Dia
    It's already time to say goodbye.
[20:05] Lugh
    I'm sorry. I'll be back next month.
[20:48] Tarte
    Good morning.
[20:49] Lugh
    Good morning.
[20:51] Maha
    You were fast asleep.
[20:53] Illig
    Yeah. I used too much mana.
[20:59] Tarte
    Do you smell something odd?
[21:02] Maha
    You're right. What is that?
[21:05] Illig
    What...
[21:09] Maha
    Is it coming from under the sheets?
[21:12] Illig
    Wait!
[21:14] Illig
    This is a common phenomenon
    among adolescent males.
[21:18] Illig
    The parasympathetic nervous system
[21:20] Illig
    becomes dominant during sleep,
    which weakens inhibitions.
[21:22] Illig
    It's easier to enter this state
    due to subconscious excitement
[21:25] ---
    caused by dreams and accidental
    stimulation than when one is awake.
[21:29] Illig
    I promise this isn't what you think—
[21:29] Tarte
    Mr. Illig!
[21:31] Illig
    Yes?
[21:31] Tarte
    From now on, let me take care of this.
[21:35] Tarte
    I'm your personal servant.
    I can help you in this way, too.
[21:38] Maha
    Brother Illig.
[21:40] Illig
    Yes?
[21:40] Maha
    You call me your sister,
    but your body is honest.
[21:44] Illig
    Huh?
[21:45] Maha
    Sometimes I think perhaps I could
    be both your sister and your lover
[21:49] ---
    rather than choosing one or the other.
[21:51] Tarte
    It's absolutely necessary that
    I take care of you in this way.
[21:53] Maha
    I don't think we need to
    think too deeply about it.
[21:55] Tarte
    You wouldn't want to get too pent-up.
[21:57] Maha
    We don't have to force ourselves to choose.
[22:00] Illig
    Is this part of my plan, too?
[23:36] Illig
    Next time, "Rites of Choice."

[03:43] Illig
    You made quite an impact.
[03:45] Tarte
    Please don't call me that. It's embarrassing.
[03:50] Lugh
    I've been sending Tarte into battle
    so she can gain combat experience,
[03:54] Lugh
    and I've been having Maha gain experience
    handling information and money.
[04:00] Tarte
    It's been almost two years
    since we came to Milteu.
[04:03] Illig
    Yeah.
[04:05] Lugh
    Our days were busy,
[04:07] ---
    but because of that,
    I've learned about this world.
[04:12] Lugh
    Illig Balor, the false identity
    I use to blend in with society,
[04:15] ---
    has turned his cosmetics
    brand Orna into a success.
[04:18] Lugh
    As a young and successful man,
    he's been invited to many events.
[04:21] Lugh
    Using moisturizer and chocolate,
[04:23] ---
    I've made many connections and built
    up a large information network.
[04:31] Illig
    This life is nearly over.
[04:33] Illig
    It flew by, didn't it?
[04:35] Tarte
    Yes, it sure did.
[04:41] Maha
    The transfer has been completed.
[04:43] Illig
    Yeah. While I'm gone, you'll handle
    everything related to Orna.
[04:48] Maha
    I will. I've become someone who can
    protect Orna even in your absence.
[04:53] Maha
    No, I'll make Orna even bigger.
[04:56] Illig
    I bet you will.
[04:58] Maha
    I'm actually thinking about expanding
    Orna's base beyond Milteu.
[05:03] Illig
    To a neighboring town?
[05:05] Maha
    Yes. I've found an excellent location.
[05:11] Illig
    This place is...
[05:12] Maha
    It used to belong to an
    influential trading company.
[05:16] Maha
    But they've declined since the
    head of the company changed.
[05:19] Maha
    They recently began selling
    off their assets piece by piece.
[05:22] Maha
    Now is the time to buy.
[05:24] Lugh
    So that's how it is.
[05:27] Lugh
    I don't plan to tell Maha,
    but I've looked into her past.
[05:32] Lugh
    Maha was the sole heiress
    of a famous trading company.
[05:35] Lugh
    But the company's right-hand
    man betrayed them.
[05:38] Lugh
    He murdered Maha's parents
    and took over the company.
[05:43] Lugh
    Left on her own, Maha sensed her life
    was in danger and fled to Milteu.
[05:49] Lugh
    This shop was one of the company's stores.
[05:53] Lugh
    It was the first shop Maha's father opened.
[05:57] Lugh
    Maha intends to reclaim her
    father's company someday.
[06:01] Lugh
    This store is an excellent
    stepping stone toward that goal.
[06:06] Illig
    Do as you like.
[06:08] Illig
    I trust your abilities.
[06:11] Maha
    Are you sure you don't
    need to do more research?
[06:14] Illig
    I won't tell you not to bring
    personal affairs into our business.
[06:17] Illig
    But if you're going to,
    then you must achieve results.
[06:22] Maha
    Yes, of course. After all,
    I'm your right-hand woman.
[06:29] Maha
    Thank you. I love you, Brother Illig.
[06:32] Illig
    I know.
[06:35] Maha
    Come in.
[06:38] Noine
    Excuse me.
    Assistant Manager, everyone's here.
[06:43] Maha
    Brother Illig, do you have a few minutes?
[06:45] Illig
    Sure, no problem.
[06:48] Noine
    Girls.
[06:54] Kerry
    Mr. Illig, this is a gift from us.
[06:59] Ifa
    It's a rare herbal tea.
    We thought you'd like it.
[07:03] Connor
    It's not much, but we wanted to thank you.
[07:06] Illig
    Thank me?
[07:07] Michelle
    You're the only reason we're here now.
[07:11] Noine
    We could never thank you enough.
[07:14] All
    Thank you, Mr. Illig.
[07:18] Illig
    I haven't done anything for you.
    It was chance that brought us together.
[07:22] Illig
    No, perhaps it was just random luck.
[07:24] Maha
    Even if that's what you
    believe, the fact is that
[07:28] ---
    you saved us from unbearable unhappiness.
[07:33] Michelle
    Please don't forget us, even after you leave.
[07:36] Noine
    We'll miss you.
[07:38] Kerry
    Please take care of your health.
[07:41] Ifa
    We won't be able to talk to you anymore.
[07:43] Connor
    We'd appreciate it if you
    came to visit sometimes.
[07:51] Illig
    Thank you, everyone.
[07:53] Illig
    No matter where I go, I won't forget you.
[07:57] Illig
    Look after Orna for me while I'm gone.
[08:00] All
    Yes, sir.

[08:16] Maha
    It's beautiful. So this
    is your real hair color.
[08:19] Lugh
    Yeah. It's been two years since
    it last looked like this.
[08:22] Tarte
    And two years since I last
    wore this servant's outfit.
[08:25] Maha
    How cute. Is that what you
    really look like, Tarte?
[08:29] Tarte
    Yup.
[08:31] Lugh
    Illig Balor has left Milteu.
[08:37] Illig
    From this moment forward,
    I am Lugh Tuatha Dé.
[08:47] Lugh
    Maha, I'm leaving you in charge of Orna
    and the information network I built.
[08:53] Maha
    Yes, Brother Lugh.
    I'll defend our base in Milteu.
[08:58] Tarte
    I'm sorry that I'm the only
    one going with Lugh, Maha.
[09:02] Maha
    I'd be lying if I said I weren't jealous,
[09:06] ---
    but I'm proud that there are things that
    only I can do to help Brother Lugh from here.
[09:11] Tarte
    Maha...
[09:13] Maha
    Tarte, go with Brother Lugh and
    assist him for my sake, too.
[09:18] Tarte
    I will.
[09:19] Maha
    Brother Lugh.
[09:23] Maha
    Could you take this with you, for me?
[09:28] Maha
    My father once told me, "Before you can
    trust people, you must doubt them first."
[09:36] Lugh
    He's right.
[09:38] Maha
    So I doubted you.
[09:41] Maha
    Over and over and over, right up until now.
[09:45] Maha
    And you wanted me because I had mana.
[09:49] Maha
    I realized you simply wanted to use me
    to assist you with your assassinations.
[09:53] Maha
    Despite that, being able
    to help you makes me happy.
[09:59] Lugh
    I see.
[10:01] Maha
    But sometimes, even if it's only for a short
    while, please come see me, Brother Lugh.
[10:08] Lugh
    Of course. I promise I'll visit, Maha.
[10:11] Maha
    It's a promise.
[10:13] Maha
    You visit Ms. Dia without fail each month.
[10:16] Maha
    If you didn't visit me,
    I'd probably cry tears of frustration.
[10:25] Lugh
    You're my precious sister, Maha.
[10:28] Lugh
    There's no way I wouldn't visit you.
[10:31] Maha
    I know. I'll be waiting.
[10:43] Maha
    Brother Lugh...
[10:46] Maha
    I'll use the rest of my life to help you.
[10:55] Maha
    Come see me again, my prince.
[11:08] Lugh
    Will you miss Maha?
[11:11] Tarte
    Honestly, I will.
[11:14] ---
    She's the first friend my
    own age that I've ever had.
[11:17] Lugh
    I see. Then I'll have you make as
    many lecithin deliveries as possible.
[11:23] Lugh
    You'll have plenty of
    opportunities to see her.
[11:25] Tarte
    I'm glad to hear that.
[11:26] Tarte
    But I think Maha would prefer to see you.
[11:31] Lugh
    Why?
[11:32] Tarte
    Because she loves you.
[11:36] Tarte
    Not as a brother or a friend...
[11:40] Tarte
    You know... like that.
[11:43] Lugh
    I know what you're trying
    to say, but it's not like that.
[11:47] Lugh
    Maha admires me. It's similar, but different.
[11:52] Tarte
    Sometimes the things you
    say are so complicated.
[11:56] Lugh
    You'll understand someday.
[11:59] Lugh
    I sense mana.
[12:11] Lugh
    Wolf monsters.
[12:13] Tarte
    Get inside, quickly.
[12:14] Driver
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[12:15] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh, may I test the
    results of my training?
[12:20] Lugh
    Very well.
[12:21] Tarte
    Here I go.
[12:34] Lugh
    Her movements are good.
[12:39] Tarte
    Dniw tohs!
[12:46] Tarte
    Dniw!
[12:53] Tarte
    It's over, Mr. Lugh.
[12:57] Lugh
    You've improved. That was impressive.
[13:00] Tarte
    Thanks to your training, Mr. Lugh.
[13:02] Lugh
    No wonder they call you the
    Lightning-Quick Battle Maiden.
[13:06] Tarte
    Don't call me that. It's embarrassing.
[13:11] Lugh
    Monsters have started coming
    down into human settlements.
[13:15] Lugh
    The Hero should be showing up soon.
[13:23] Lugh
    It's a soybean farm. Things have
    changed quite a bit in two years.
[13:27] Tarte
    This place is nostalgic, but I
    feel like Milteu suits you better.
[13:32] Lugh
    I feel like this place agrees with me more.
[13:35] Lugh
    I feel at ease here.
[13:37] Lugh
    Tarte, let's go say hello.
[13:41] Rack
    Welcome back.
[13:42] All
    Sir!
[13:43] All
    Sir, welcome back!
[13:46] Tadgh
    Thanks to you, we're selling our
    soybeans at a really high price.
[13:50] Pat
    I was able to buy two cows.
[13:53] Lugh
    I'm glad to hear that.
[13:54] Emma
    You've been working to help us
    even after you left Tuatha Dé.
[13:59] Pat
    We appreciate it, but we also experienced
    a lot of problems while you were gone.
[14:05] Rack
    Mr. Lugh, take this with you.
[14:09] Tadgh
    Don't be shy. We want to thank you.
[14:13] Lugh
    Thank you, everyone.
[14:16] Tarte
    The people love you, Mr. Lugh.
[14:19] Lugh
    You're right. I think that's why
    I want this region to prosper.
[14:31] Esri
    Welcome home, welcome home, welcome home!
[14:33] Esri
    I missed you so much while
    you were gone, Lugh!
[14:36] Esri
    Oh, I've missed your smell.
[14:40] Lugh
    Please don't do that where people can see us.
[14:42] Esri
    I can't help it!
[14:43] Esri
    I haven't seen you in forever!
[14:47] Esri
    I missed you.
[14:49] Esri
    You'd better not leave again, Lugh.
[14:51] Lugh
    I have work to do. I have to leave.
[14:57] Esri
    Well, I've gotten my fill.
[15:00] Esri
    Tarte, welcome home.
[15:02] Tarte
    I'm glad to be back, ma'am.
[15:04] Esri
    Thank you for staying with Lugh.
[15:07] Esri
    Despite how he seems, he gets quite lonely.
[15:09] Tarte
    Not at all. If anything, I ended up
    presuming upon Mr. Lugh's kindness.
[15:14] Esri
    Really? I hope you'll
    keep looking after Lugh.
[15:19] Esri
    Having someone like you
    around puts my mind at ease.
[15:22] Tarte
    I-I'll do my best.
[15:24] Lugh
    Mother, where is Father?
[15:26] Esri
    Oh, right. He wanted you to come to his study.
[15:31] Lugh
    Very well. I'll go report to Father.
[15:37] Esri
    Tarte, I'll have you tell me all about Lugh.
[15:42] Tarte
    Yes, ma'am. I'll leave nothing out.
[15:57] Cian
    You've become a man, Lugh.
[16:00] Lugh
    Yes, Father. Now that I'm
    14 years old, I'm a legal adult.
[16:05] Cian
    That's not what I meant.
[16:07] Cian
    Unfortunately, Tuatha Dé is
    overflowing with overgrown children.
[16:11] Cian
    You've become an adult in
    the true sense of the word.
[16:16] Cian
    I instructed you to establish
    yourself as a merchant in Milteu,
[16:20] ---
    but I didn't think you'd go that far.
[16:22] Cian
    There isn't a noble who hasn't heard
    of Illig Balor's cosmetics brand, Orna.
[16:27] Lugh
    I created the moisturizer to be our leading
    product and established a plan to popularize it,
[16:32] ---
    but Balor did the rest of the work.
[16:36] Lugh
    The popularity gained
    from the moisturizer
[16:38] Lugh
    gave brand value to our
    conventional cosmetics, as well.
[16:41] Lugh
    I can hardly believe how he reordered the
    power structure of the cosmetics industry.
[16:45] Lugh
    Seeing such brilliance at work
    up close made me tremble.
[16:48] Cian
    He's nearly the perfect merchant.
[16:51] Cian
    I had you gain experience as a merchant
    under him so you'd learn about the world,
[16:56] ---
    create a mask that would serve you in
    assassinations, and build connections.
[17:00] Cian
    All of that is true,
    but there is another reason.
[17:04] Cian
    Do you know what that is?
[17:06] Lugh
    No.
[17:10] Cian
    I wanted you to find a way to
    live besides the Tuatha Dé way.
[17:17] Lugh
    What do you mean?
[17:19] Cian
    Have a seat.
[17:22] Cian
    Lugh.
[17:24] Cian
    You could be successful not only as
    an assassin, but also as a merchant.
[17:29] Cian
    Plenty of people want that.
[17:32] Cian
    Balor visited me the other day.
[17:35] Cian
    He recommended you quit being an assassin
    and focus on being a merchant instead.
[17:41] Cian
    He said it'd be better for you.
[17:45] Cian
    He wants you to assist
    the Balor Trading Company
[17:48] Cian
    and someday support his son Beruid, as well.
[17:51] Cian
    If you choose that path, I won't stop you.
[17:55] Lugh
    What are you talking about, Father?
[17:57] Lugh
    I gained experience as a merchant
    to become a better assassin.
[18:02] Cian
    It's too late for me to live any other way.
[18:05] Cian
    But, Lugh, your hands haven't been
    stained by assassinations yet.
[18:09] Cian
    You could choose another way of life.
[18:12] Lugh
    But I helped you with your assassinations.
[18:15] Cian
    Only as my assistant. You didn't kill anyone.
[18:18] Lugh
    I killed people as part of
    my assassination training.
[18:22] Cian
    Those were death row criminals.
[18:24] Cian
    You simply took the place of the executioner.
[18:26] Cian
    The weight of a real
    assassination is different.
[18:31] Cian
    The Tuatha Dé have used
    assassination to remove
[18:34] ---
    the illnesses afflicting the
    Alvan Kingdom and protect it.
[18:39] Cian
    But the kingdom won't protect us.
[18:42] Cian
    Let me be blunt.
[18:43] Cian
    It's also the role of
    the House of Tuatha Dé
[18:46] ---
    to be abandoned if our
    assassinations are exposed.
[18:50] Cian
    Even if we don't make a single mistake,
[18:53] ---
    our clients could leak
    some information about us.
[18:57] Cian
    I registered you as Illig Balor so you'd
    be able to live as a different person
[19:01] ---
    if you were abandoned by the kingdom.
[19:04] Cian
    But I also think you could quit
    the thankless job of an assassin
[19:08] ---
    and live an easy life in the first place.
[19:11] Cian
    I'll ask you again.
[19:13] Cian
    Do you still want to live as Lugh Tuatha Dé?
[19:18] Lugh
    Father, I...
[19:21] Lugh
    No. Dad, I choose to be a Tuatha Dé.
[19:26] Lugh
    There are things I can't
    do unless I'm a Tuatha Dé.
[19:30] Cian
    Are you saying that out
    of some sense of justice?
[19:33] Cian
    Are you saying you're prepared to give
    your own life to protect this kingdom?
[19:37] Lugh
    No, nothing so laudable.
[19:41] Lugh
    The people of Tuatha Dé and the people
    I met in Milteu are important to me.
[19:48] Lugh
    I want this kingdom to be peaceful
    so those people can be happy.
[19:54] Lugh
    I don't want anything to destroy this
    happiness I've encountered and seized.
[19:59] Lugh
    That's my choice.
[20:02] Lugh
    Even if the kingdom abandons
    me, it's not a problem.
[20:07] Lugh
    I wouldn't allow myself to be captured,
    not after you trained me.
[20:12] Lugh
    It wouldn't be too late to
    escape and live as Illig then.
[20:16] Lugh
    I'll think about what I'll do when
    I'm abandoned if that happens.
[20:23] Lugh
    I won't carry out assassinations
    because I'm ordered to.
[20:27] Lugh
    I'll do it for my own happiness,
    by my own volition.
[20:31] Lugh
    And I won't let my guard down
    like I did the first time.
[20:35] Lugh
    Whether it be clients or even the goddess,
    I'll keep being skeptical of them.
[20:39] Lugh
    I won't be killed again.
[20:43] Lugh
    There's another reason.
[20:46] Lugh
    There's something I can't
    have unless I'm a Tuatha Dé.
[20:49] Cian
    What's that?
[20:51] Cian
    I have no idea what you could mean.
[20:57] Lugh
    I'm in love with Dia Viekone.
[21:00] Lugh
    I'm thinking about marrying her someday.
[21:03] Lugh
    I need to be nobility in order
    to marry the daughter of a count.
[21:08] Lugh
    A merchant lacks the necessary status.
[21:14] Cian
    I knew you were too good to be true.
[21:18] Cian
    Who knew you could be so stupid, as well?
[21:22] Cian
    I see. Dia, huh?
[21:24] Cian
    I understand.
    Lugh, become an aristocratic assassin.
[21:32] Cian
    Here's your first job.
[21:36] Cian
    There's a noble who must be eliminated.
[21:39] Cian
    He sells military secrets to neighboring
    kingdoms in exchange for drugs,
[21:43] ---
    which he distributes throughout the kingdom.
[21:45] Cian
    He's scum who makes the people suffer.
[21:48] Cian
    He needs to be removed from this
    kingdom as soon as possible.
[21:52] Cian
    I won't interfere. Kill him your own way.
[21:58] Lugh
    I'll do a perfect job.
[22:01] Lugh
    I am Lugh Tuatha Dé.

[00:37] Lugh
    He sells military secrets to neighboring
    kingdoms in exchange for "vizein."
[00:43] Tarte
    Vizein?
[00:44] Lugh
    It's a drug.
[00:45] Lugh
    He's trash who profits off of distributing
    it throughout his kingdom.
[00:50] Tarte
    So we're assassinating this count.
[00:53] Lugh
    There's something we have to do first.
[00:55] Lugh
    We'll see for ourselves if this target
    really should be assassinated.
[01:01] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh, what is that?
[01:03] Lugh
    A coded message.
[01:05] Lugh
    I'm making arrangements to
    infiltrate the count's mansion.
[01:11] Lugh
    It's time for Maha to
    show us what she can do.
[01:16] Tarte
    Orna's great information network
    will be put to the test.
[01:19] Lugh
    Three pigeons should guarantee
    she gets the messages.
[01:22] Lugh
    It's time for Lugh Tuatha Dé's first job.

[03:23] Esri
    So excited, so excited...
[03:26] Lugh
    Mother, what is it?
[03:27] Esri
    Oh, Lugh. Did I wake you?
[03:30] Lugh
    I was already awake.
[03:32] Lugh
    I notice immediately when
    an intruder enters my room.
[03:35] Esri
    Aw, how could you call me an intruder?
[03:37] Esri
    I'm a good mother here to
    check on her beloved son.
[03:41] Lugh
    And what is my good mother doing
    up so early in the morning?
[03:46] Esri
    How disappointing. You're fine today.
[03:50] Lugh
    What are you talking about?
[03:53] Lugh
    You heard about that?
[03:55] Esri
    She told me everything.
[03:59] Lugh
    Tarte must've told my mother
    about the darkest point in my past.
[04:06] Esri
    She left nothing out.
[04:09] Esri
    So don't be shy. Let your mother see.
[04:18] Lugh
    If that happened every day,
    I'd be seriously ill.
[04:21] Esri
    You're no fun.
[04:23] Lugh
    Do you really want to see your son like that?
[04:26] Esri
    Very much so.
    It proves you've become an adult.
[04:37] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh, breakfast is ready.
[04:40] Lugh
    Tarte, we need to talk.
[04:42] Tarte
    Yes, sir. You can tell me about
    it while I help you change.
[04:51] Lugh
    Is there something else you need, Mother?
[04:54] Esri
    Of course. I'd like to see
    how much your body has grown.
[04:58] Lugh
    You don't need to see that.
[05:00] Esri
    You're so stingy, Lugh.
[05:06] Esri
    What do you think, Lugh?
[05:08] Lugh
    Of what?
[05:09] Esri
    Of an arranged marriage meeting, obviously.
[05:13] Esri
    They're all beautiful
    girls from good families.
[05:17] Lugh
    You don't need to do this.
[05:19] Esri
    But I chose the very best girls for you.
[05:22] Lugh
    I don't intend to attend
    any arranged meetings.
[05:25] Esri
    But I'm eager to see my grandchildren.
[05:31] Lugh
    Tarte, you may speak.
[05:33] Tarte
    Yes, sir. I think Mr. Lugh is
    too young for arranged meetings.
[05:36] Esri
    He's not too young at all. He's an adult now.
[05:39] Tarte
    He only just recently became one.
[05:41] Esri
    If you take too long,
    I'll turn into an old woman.
[05:44] Tarte
    Ma'am, you'll be forever young.
[05:47] Tarte
    You won't turn into an old woman.
[05:49] Esri
    Your flattery won't work on me.
[05:51] Esri
    Or will you bear Lugh's
    children instead, Tarte?
[05:56] Tarte
    Yes, ma'am. Of course I'd bear his children.
[05:59] Tarte
    Wait, what?
[06:00] Esri
    That's actually a good idea!
[06:02] Esri
    Tarte has mana, and unlike a noble,
[06:04] Esri
    she doesn't come with any
    troublesome relationships.
[06:07] Esri
    It'd be killing two birds with one stone.
[06:08] Esri
    And it's great that you could
    immediately begin trying to conceive.
[06:12] Tarte
    U-Um, I...
[06:15] Tarte
    If that's what Mr. Lugh wants,
    then perhaps it's not too soon.
[06:19] Lugh
    Mother, please stop teasing Tarte.
[06:23] Esri
    I'm not teasing. And why are you
    taking that tone with me, Lugh?
[06:29] Esri
    You're being so blunt.
[06:30] Lugh
    Now that I'm an adult, I thought
    I should change how I speak.
[06:34] Esri
    Oh, no!
[06:36] Esri
    My cute little Lugh has gone astray.
[06:40] Esri
    That's no good.
[06:42] Lugh
    I'm definitely sticking
    with this tone of voice.
[06:53] Tarte
    Shouldn't we wait for Maha's report?
[06:57] Lugh
    I'm having Maha look into behind-the-scenes
    information invisible to the public.
[07:01] Lugh
    I'd like to see for myself
    what's publicly visible.

[08:45] Tarte
    I see wounded soldiers.
[08:47] Lugh
    They were forced into

[08:49] Lugh
    due to their military secrets being leaked.
[08:57] Girl
    Hello.
[08:59] Girl
    Would you care for some gooseberry jam?
[09:01] Girl
    It's our specialty.
    I've got a variety of sizes.
[09:02] Lugh
    A girl selling jam in a deserted alleyway...
[09:05] Girl
    Here. You can have one for free.
[09:08] Girl
    If you like it, you can come back here.
[09:11] Tarte
    Thank you.
[09:14] Tarte
    But I'm not a fan of gooseberry jam.
[09:17] Tarte
    Here. You can have this, Lou.
[09:20] Lugh
    Oh, Tar, you're hopeless.
[09:24] Lugh
    What kind of name is Lou?
[09:26] Tarte
    We're pretending to be a couple of lovebirds.
[09:29] Lugh
    I thought we were pretending to be siblings.
[09:32] Tarte
    I'm sure a couple would
    attract less attention.
[09:38] Lugh
    How would you like to quit?
[09:39] Girl
    Huh?
[09:40] Lugh
    I'll give you an opportunity.
[09:45] Girl
    Why did you do this?
[09:48] Man A
    Hey, you.
[09:49] Man A
    What do you think you're
    doing with our merchandise?
[09:54] Man B
    Asshole!
[09:56] Man C
    Bastard!
[09:57] Man D
    Why, you...
[10:03] Tarte
    Are these men the bosses
    in charge of selling drugs?
[10:06] Lugh
    They're just the rank and file.
[10:07] Lugh
    They won't go away until we
    deal with the ringleader.
[10:18] Lugh
    Do you know what this is?
[10:20] Girl
    But... But my mother...
[10:30] Girl
    Mother?
[10:32] Girl
    Are you okay?
[10:33] Mother
    The drugs! Give me my drugs!
[10:36] Girl
    I don't have any today.
[10:37] Mother
    The drugs! Where's my vizein?
[10:40] Girl
    Please stop!
[10:41] Mother
    Vizein!
[10:44] Mother
    I need the stuff!
[10:47] Girl
    Mother!
[10:54] Mother
    Vizein!
[10:58] Lugh
    Don't move.
[10:59] Girl
    Mother!
[11:01] Tarte
    It's all right. Just watch.
[11:10] Girl
    Mother!
[11:11] Girl
    Are you all right?
[11:12] Girl
    Mother!
[11:17] Tarte
    Is she better?
[11:19] Lugh
    I made it so her body no longer needs the drug.
[11:22] Lugh
    But her psychological dependence
    is a separate matter.
[11:26] Lugh
    Let's get out of here.
[11:27] Tarte
    Yes, Mr. Lugh.
[11:37] Maia
    Ma'am, some cosmetics
    have arrived from Orna.
[11:41] Esri
    My, my. So much has arrived.
[11:44] Esri
    Oh!
[11:46] Esri
    Welcome back, Lugh and Tarte.
[11:49] Esri
    We've received a delivery from Orna.
[11:52] Lugh
    Okay. Thanks, Mother.
[11:56] Lugh
    Impressive as always, Maha. You work quickly.
[12:01] Lugh
    I knew it. The ringleader
    is Count Azba Venkaur.
[12:06] Lugh
    Vizein is apparently made from
    a perennial plant known as vize.
[12:10] Lugh
    It causes incredible pleasure,
    but when the drug wears off...
[12:14] Tarte
    People end up like that girl's mother.
[12:17] Lugh
    The count distributes the
    drug to other lords' regions
[12:20] ---
    and claims the mafia transports
    the drug through his region.
[12:25] Tarte
    That's enough to fool people?
[12:27] Lugh
    He sends bribes to higher-ranking nobles.
[12:30] Lugh
    With that official explanation and
    the protection of great houses,
[12:33] ---
    the royal family can't punish him.
[12:36] Tarte
    Then...
[12:37] Lugh
    Yeah. This is a job for the Tuatha Dé.
[12:41] Lugh
    We'll assassinate Count Venkaur.

[12:56] Maha
    It's been a while since
    we were last together.
[12:58] Illig
    It's been less than a
    month since I left Milteu.
[13:01] Maha
    As far as I'm concerned, ten days
    without you is far too long.
[13:06] Illig
    Orna's acting director didn't
    need to accompany me.
[13:09] Maha
    I wanted to see you.
[13:11] Illig
    Even when we're apart,
    you're a tremendous help.
[13:15] Illig
    Thank you.
[13:16] Maha
    You're welcome.
[13:18] Maha
    Say, Brother Illig...
[13:20] Maha
    Have things between you and Tarte
    progressed since you returned to Tuatha Dé?
[13:24] Illig
    Progressed? What do you mean?
[13:27] Maha
    I mean as a man and a woman.
[13:29] Illig
    Of course not.
[13:31] Maha
    Things must be very difficult for you, then.
[13:34] Maha
    While you were in Milteu, you seemed to
    occasionally blow off steam at brothels.
[13:38] Maha
    But you don't have those back home.
    That must be challenging.
[13:42] Maha
    Tarte was nearly in tears every
    time you went to the brothel.
[13:46] Maha
    You should use her, like she wants.
[13:48] Illig
    Why do you want us to have
    that kind of relationship?
[13:51] Maha
    It seems you force yourself not to
    consider romantic feelings for us.
[13:58] Illig
    We're family. Just how often
    do you think we're together?
[14:03] Maha
    When we were little, we saw you
    as our dependable older brother.
[14:06] Maha
    But we're growing up.
[14:09] Maha
    With the most wonderful man
    in the world so close to us,
[14:12] ---
    how could we not fall in love with him?
[14:14] Illig
    You've come to speak rather directly.
[14:17] Maha
    When we're apart, I think about what I want
    to say to you at the next opportunity.
[14:22] Maha
    But nothing is more painful
    than being ignored.
[14:28] Maha
    Tarte tends to bottle things
    up without complaint.
[14:31] Maha
    If you keep behaving that way toward
    her, she'll eventually explode.
[14:35] Illig
    Then I'll try abandoning my
    preconceptions and looking at Tarte.
[14:38] Illig
    But I can't accept her.
[14:41] Maha
    Because of Ms. Dia?
[14:43] Maha
    Tarte wouldn't mind being second to her,
    or being your convenient mistress,
[14:48] Maha
    as long as you love her.
[14:49] Maha
    Besides, aren't you a noble?
[14:52] Maha
    You should keep a mistress or two.
[14:56] Illig
    Is that so?
[14:57] Maha
    It is so.
[15:01] Maha
    Do you understand now that there are
    two girls besides Ms. Dia who love you?
[15:08] Illig
    That's one more than you said before.
[15:10] Maha
    Because I love you, too.
[15:12] Maha
    But I'm going to wait a little longer
    before actively pursuing you.
[15:16] Illig
    I thought you said things
    when you had the chance.
[15:19] Maha
    Once Orna grows even more and
    you don't want to lose me,
[15:25] ---
    I'll use that as a shield to negotiate.
[15:27] Maha
    You're the one who taught me that
[15:30] ---
    a deal can't be reached unless
    both parties are on equal footing.
[15:34] Illig
    You truly are an exceptional student.
[15:36] Maha
    I am. So you'd better prepare yourself.
[15:45] Illig
    So this is Venkaur's land.
[15:48] Maha
    Their primary industry is agriculture.
[15:50] Maha
    Their output is nearly the same
    as Tuatha Dé's was previously.
[15:54] Maha
    But aside from agriculture, they don't
    have anything particularly profitable.
[15:57] Illig
    In other words, they shouldn't be so wealthy.
[16:10] Bridgette
    Thank you for coming.
[16:12] Bridgette
    I've been looking forward
    to Orna's new product.
[16:17] Illig
    Thank you for inviting us
    here, Countess Venkaur.
[16:23] Illig
    We brought our newest product
[16:24] Illig
    because we wanted a beautiful
    and genuine lady like yourself
[16:27] ---
    to be the first to try it.
[16:30] Bridgette
    I'm excited to try it.
[16:35] Bridgette
    My, it smells wonderful.
[16:37] Bridgette
    It's not like any moisturizer
    you've tried before.
[16:40] Maha
    If you like it, then every
    other woman is sure to want it.
[16:46] Bridgette
    It's very nice.
[16:48] Bridgette
    It makes me look so warm.
[16:50] Bridgette
    But why did you want me to use it first?
[16:53] Illig
    Because currently, no one has
    more momentum than Count Venkaur.
[16:57] Illig
    As his wife, everyone's watching you closely.
[17:00] Illig
    You're the best person to lend
    that momentum to our new product.
[17:05] Bridgette
    I'm delighted my husband's
    business is doing well.
[17:09] Bridgette
    Until just a few years ago,
    we were poor nobles.
[17:13] Bridgette
    I couldn't dress myself up like this.
[17:17] Vencarl
    Bridgette.
[17:19] Bridgette
    Oh, hello, darling.
[17:21] Vencarl
    How's the new product?
[17:23] Bridgette
    I love it.
[17:25] Vencarl
    I see. That's good.
[17:28] Vencarl
    Thank you for looking after my wife.
[17:29] Illig
    No, thank you.
[17:31] Illig
    I am Illig Balor, director of Orna.
[17:34] Vencarl
    I am Azba Venkaur.
[17:36] Vencarl
    Thank you for making the long trip.
[17:38] Illig
    So this is our target.
[17:41] Vencarl
    I don't know much about cosmetics,
[17:43] ---
    but if it makes my wife happy,
    then I'm all for it.
[17:46] Illig
    I'm incredibly thankful for that.
[17:49] Vencarl
    My wife was in such high spirits
    because you were coming.
[17:53] Vencarl
    Honestly, I'm jealous.
[17:55] Illig
    Nonsense.
[17:58] Vencarl
    I have people coming tonight.
[18:00] Vencarl
    Make yourselves at home.
[18:02] Illig
    Thank you.
[18:05] Vencarl
    See you later, Bridgette.
[18:08] Brdigette
    Yes, darling.
[18:19] Lady A
    I was so excited to come tonight because
    I heard we'd get to see you, Mr. Illig.
[18:23] Illig
    Thank you.
[18:25] Lady B
    I heard you made a new product.
[18:27] Lady C
    I'd love to use it, as well.
[18:29] Illig
    Allow me to show you.
[18:31] Lady D
    What's it like?
[18:33] Bridgette
    Shall I tell you a bit about it?
[18:37] Lady C
    Is that it?
[18:38] Lady A
    Let me see.
[18:41] Vencarl
    It looks like that bottle is
    more popular than you are.
[18:45] Vencarl
    As long as my wife's happy,
    I don't mind which she likes.
[18:48] Vencarl
    No, actually, I don't have to worry about
    her cheating on me with the bottle.
[18:52] Illig
    I would never, Count Venkaur.
[18:54] Vencarl
    Sorry for exploiting you for my party.
[18:58] Illig
    Not at all. I'm honored.
[19:02] Illig
    I hear business is going well for you.
[19:05] Vencarl
    It's just a small bit of business.
[19:08] Vencarl
    It certainly isn't a market the Balor
    Trading Company needs to keep an eye on.
[19:48] Lugh
    According to his wife,
[19:49] ---
    Count Venkaur loves to enjoy a bit of
    wine before bed while gazing at the moon.
[20:00] Lugh
    The mana surrounding those who possess it
    makes them tougher than ordinary people.
[20:06] Lugh
    Most things won't kill them.
[20:08] Lugh
    Etaerc nug.
[20:10] Lugh
    And Count Venkaur has mana. However...
[20:15] Lugh
    Etaerc tellub.
[20:17] Lugh
    He can't withstand copper-tungsten bullets.
[20:21] Lugh
    I'm an assassin,
    like I was in my previous life.
[20:25] Lugh
    But this time, I'm more
    than just a killing tool.
[20:29] Lugh
    I decide for myself whether
    or not I'll kill someone.
[20:32] Lugh
    And this time, I've decided
    that this man should be killed.
[20:44] Lugh
    Target confirmed.
[20:46] Lugh
    In accordance with royal orders and the
    principles of the House of Tuatha Dé,
[20:50] Lugh
    he shall be eliminated.
[21:02] Lugh
    Mission complete.
[21:03] Lugh
    Let's get out of here.
[21:05] Tarte
    Yes, Mr. Lugh.
[21:15] Lugh
    In the past, killing never moved my heart.
[21:21] Lugh
    That's right. I was a tool.
[21:26] Lugh
    But now...
[21:34] Lugh
    Tarte, why are you...
[21:36] Tarte
    No reason.
[21:38] Tarte
    You just seemed forlorn.
[21:42] Lugh
    Did I?
[21:50] Lugh
    Sorry. Let's go.
[21:52] Tarte
    Yes, sir.
[21:54] Lugh
    I don't regret this assassination.
[21:58] Lugh
    But I won't forget it.
[22:01] Lugh
    That is who Lugh Tuatha Dé is.
[23:36] Lugh
    Next time, "First of Dates."

[00:06] Lugh
    Three, two, one, tack!
[00:10] Tarte
    Got it!
[00:17] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh, I see land.
[00:20] Lugh
    All right, just as planned.
[00:22] Tarte
    We're heading back home already, huh?
[00:24] Lugh
    Yeah, our normal lives are waiting for us.
[00:27] Tarte
    I enjoyed living on an
    uninhabited island together,
[00:31] ---
    besides the fact that
    all our meals were fish.
[00:34] Lugh
    When we get back, let's go hunting.
[00:36] Lugh
    I'll make us some cream stew.
[00:38] Tarte
    Yes, sir.
[00:47] Lugh
    It's Maha. Let's go.
[00:49] Tarte
    Got it.
[01:00] Tarte
    Hup.
[01:01] Maha
    Welcome back, Brother Lugh and Tarte.
[01:04] Maha
    How was the uninhabited island?
[01:07] Lugh
    It's inconspicuous and located
    away from transport ship routes.
[01:10] Lugh
    The greenery provided us
    with somewhere to stay, too.
[01:13] Lugh
    It was the perfect place to practice
    magic. Thanks for finding it.
[01:17] Maha
    I heard about a shipwreck
    survivor who made it back alive.
[01:20] Maha
    I found the survivor and located the island
    based on ocean currents and wind direction.
[01:25] Tarte
    Impressive as always, Maha.
[01:27] Maha
    I have the Balor Trading Company's
    information network to thank for that.
[01:31] Lugh
    Anyway, Maha, what happened?
[01:34] Maha
    I have good news and bad news.
[01:42] Maha
    I found the divine treasure
    you asked me about.
[01:47] Lugh
    That's certainly good news.
[01:49] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh, what's a divine treasure?
[01:53] Lugh
    A tool possessing unbelievable abilities
    that can't be made by human hands.
[01:57] Lugh
    They've existed since ancient
    times and can't be destroyed.
[02:00] Lugh
    They're incredibly valuable objects.
[02:02] Maha
    The divine treasure I found
    is the magic spear Gáe Bolg.
[02:06] Maha
    I'm currently negotiating
    the purchase of said spear.
[02:09] Maha
    It's owned by a man named Setanta MacNess.
[02:12] Maha
    He's also known as Kran's Hound,
[02:15] Maha
    and the man most likely to be the Hero.
[02:19] Lugh
    Will you be able to acquire this spear, Maha?
[02:22] Maha
    Yes, I'll do it.
[02:25] Maha
    I'm experiencing some difficulties
    with the negotiations, though.
[02:28] Lugh
    Is that the bad news?
[02:30] Maha
    No, it's worse than that.
[02:33] Maha
    A civil war has broken out in the
    neighboring kingdom of Swoigel.
[02:37] Lugh
    Civil war?
[02:38] Maha
    Even Ms. Dia's House Viekone has
    joined as part of the kingdom's army.
[02:44] Maha
    And on the side of the rebel forces,
    there's a soldier giving them a lot of trouble.
[02:49] Maha
    Setanta MacNess.

[04:41] Lugh
    Good morning, Dia.
[04:42] Dia
    Good morning, Lugh! What are you
    doing here so early in the morning?
[04:48] Dia
    I know. You missed me so much,
    you couldn't help yourself.
[04:52] Dia
    That's fine by me. Come in.
[04:59] Dia
    Did you bring any chocolate today?
[05:00] Lugh
    Sorry, not today.
[05:02] Dia
    What? But I've been looking forward to it...
[05:05] Dia
    That's fine, though.
[05:07] Dia
    Just getting to see your face makes me happy.
[05:11] Lugh
    Are you all right?
[05:13] Dia
    Whatever do you mean?
[05:15] Lugh
    You're in the middle of a war.
[05:17] Dia
    A war?
[05:21] Dia
    It's true that there have been
    some skirmishes near the capital,
[05:24] ---
    but that's so far away from here.
[05:27] Lugh
    Isn't House Viekone involved in the war?
[05:29] Dia
    House Viekone made a name
    for itself with magic.
[05:33] Dia
    We have plenty of magic users.
[05:36] ---
    There's nothing to worry about.
[05:38] Lugh
    I heard impudent nobles insulted the
    royal family and started a rebellion.
[05:43] Dia
    You're well-informed.
[05:45] Dia
    If Swoigel had its own aristocratic assassins,
[05:48] ---
    we wouldn't be overrun by evil nobles.
[05:52] Lugh
    There's a man with a divine
    treasure in the rebel army.
[05:55] Lugh
    It's possible that he's the Hero.
[05:59] Lugh
    If he is, then human strength
    won't be enough to defeat him.
[06:03] Lugh
    Illig Balor, son of the Balor Trading
    Company, is one of my identities.
[06:09] Lugh
    I could use his power to allow you and
    your family to escape to a safe kingdom.
[06:17] Lugh
    Dia, you should flee before
    danger arrives on your doorstep.
[06:20] Dia
    Listen, Lugh...
[06:22] Lugh
    I'll do everything I can to support you.
[06:24] Dia
    If you don't stop talking, I'll get mad.
[06:28] Dia
    I know exactly what's
    going on within Swoigel.
[06:30] Lugh
    All the more reason to—
[06:31] Dia
    Despite how I may seem, I'm still
    the daughter of Count Viekone.
[06:35] Dia
    I was born bearing
[06:36] Dia
    the responsibility of protecting the
    kingdom, my land, and its people.
[06:40] Dia
    You think someone like that could
    abandon her position and flee?
[06:45] Dia
    Just kidding.
[06:48] Dia
    Thinking about it won't change anything.
[06:51] Dia
    What will be, will be.
[06:55] Lugh
    Dia...
[06:57] Dia
    So, Lugh...
[06:59] Dia
    How do you dye your hair?
[07:01] Lugh
    Huh?
[07:02] Dia
    Let's go out.
[07:04] Lugh
    But why?
[07:08] Dia
    My father and his advisers are
    currently away, so I can go into town.
[07:12] Lugh
    But your safety...
[07:14] Dia
    Which dress do you prefer?
    This one, or this one?
[07:17] Lugh
    This is no time for that.
[07:21] Dia
    Which one?
[07:33] Lugh
    You ended up wearing neither dress.
[07:36] Dia
    When I matched my hair color to yours,
    they didn't go well together anymore.
[07:40] Lugh
    Are you sure it's all right for you to go
    into town wearing such a simple disguise?
[07:44] Dia
    I'll be fine. I've got you with me.
[07:47] Dia
    You'll protect me no matter
    what happens, right?
[07:50] Lugh
    You're right.
[07:52] Lugh
    You're getting out of the house.
    We might as well enjoy ourselves.
[07:57] Dia
    Yeah!
[08:02] Lugh
    So, where do you want to go?
[08:06] Dia
    I think I'm a bit hungry.
[08:07] Lugh
    If you want lunch, then...
[08:10] Lugh
    Amanda's serves good pasta,
[08:12] ---
    but it's hard to say no to Del Sol's arancini,
[08:15] ---
    and Violetta begins serving its multi-course
    porcini mushroom meal this time of year.
[08:20] Dia
    How do you know more about
    our food options than I do?
[08:23] Lugh
    I've been coming to see you
    monthly since we were children.
[08:27] Lugh
    It's only natural.
[08:33] Dia
    What is it?
[08:34] Lugh
    It's nothing. Just a habit of mine.
[08:37] Dia
    A habit?
[08:39] Lugh
    That merchant seems like a veteran.
[08:42] Lugh
    I can tell when soldiers are nearby.
[08:44] Lugh
    I can detect their blood lust.
    It's like a sixth sense.
[08:48] Lugh
    This town is full of skilled warriors.
[08:51] Dia
    The draft has brought a lot of people
    with military experience into town.
[08:54] Lugh
    Militiamen conscripted
    in times of emergency?
[08:57] Dia
    There's that, too, but also so they can
    protect themselves when war breaks out.
[09:02] Dia
    Knowing how to fight provides
    an advantage when fleeing.
[09:06] Lugh
    I see.
[09:07] Dia
    We can't always protect them.
[09:12] Dia
    Look at that!
[09:14] Dia
    That looks interesting! Let's go, Lugh!
[09:20] Employee
    Welcome.
[09:24] Dia
    How cute!
[09:26] Dia
    Win that one for me!
[09:28] Lugh
    Sure. You can count on me.
[09:34] Dia
    No!
[09:37] Lugh
    What's the matter?
[09:38] Dia
    That's cheating!
[09:40] Lugh
    I don't believe it's against the rules.
[09:43] Dia
    Magic isn't fair. The store will lose money.
[09:47] Lugh
    I see. Then I won't use magic.
[09:50] Lugh
    If I use my skills to determine
    how far off my first shot is,
[09:53] ---
    then I'm guaranteed to hit my second.
[09:56] Dia
    You can't do that, either!
[09:57] Lugh
    Why not?
[09:58] Dia
    Because that's no fun.
[10:01] Lugh
    But I can't unlearn the skills I have.
[10:04] Lugh
    Then how about this?
[10:08] Lugh
    Stay calm.
[10:10] Lugh
    Look at the target.
[10:12] Lugh
    Lower your right hand slightly
    without moving the bow.
[10:15] Lugh
    Yes, just like that.
[10:17] Lugh
    Now.
[10:20] Dia
    I missed.
[10:22] Lugh
    Don't move. Take the next shot.
[10:27] Lugh
    We'll correct to the right.
[10:30] Lugh
    Now.
[10:32] Lugh
    Maintain that posture
    and correct to the left.
[10:37] Lugh
    Now.
[10:41] Employee
    Congratulations!
[10:43] Dia
    I hit it. I hit the bear, Lugh!
[10:48] Lugh
    Yeah. You've got a knack for this.
[10:56] Lugh
    Good for you.
[10:57] Dia
    Yeah!
[10:58] Lugh
    Although the store ended
    up losing money on that.
[11:01] Dia
    It was a fair contest, so it's okay.
[11:04] Lugh
    Is that how it works?
[11:06] Dia
    Yes, it is.
[11:08] Dia
    Lasagna!
[11:10] Lugh
    Huh?
[11:11] Dia
    I want lasagna for lunch.
[11:14] Dia
    Do you know a good place?
[11:16] Lugh
    Yeah.
[11:17] Lugh
    I'll take you someplace special.

[12:40] Lugh
    Do you like it?
[12:41] Dia
    Yeah, but it'd be better
    if you made it, right?
[12:46] Lugh
    That's not true. My cooking's
    no match for this restaurant.
[12:49] Dia
    Liar. You're a good cook.

[12:54] Lugh
    I could make a better lasagna than this.
[12:56] Dia

[13:28] Dia
    Huh?
[13:29] Lugh
    I'll cook for you the next

[13:37] Lugh
    What is it?
[13:38] Dia
    Nothing.
[13:40] Dia
    It's a promise.
[13:43] Lugh
    Yeah. I promise.
[13:48] Dia
    I'm so full.
[13:50] Lugh
    Maybe you ate a little too much?
[13:52] Dia
    I don't often get to go out.
    I have to enjoy myself to the fullest.
[13:56] Lugh
    You're right.
    This is our first time doing this.
[14:00] Dia

    My mommy...
[14:13] Lugh
    Is he lost?
[14:14] Rico
    Mommy...
[14:15] Dia
    Seems that way.
[14:16] Lugh
    Dia, could I borrow that?
[14:20] Lugh
    What's the matter?
[14:23] Lugh
    What's your name?
[14:25] Rico
    Rico.
[14:26] Lugh
    Is your home nearby, Rico?
[14:29] Rico
    No.
[14:30] Lugh
    Did you get separated from your mommy?
[14:33] Rico
    Uh-huh.
[14:34] Lugh
    Then let's look for her.
[14:36] Rico
    Okay.
[14:38] Lugh
    Rico's mother must be looking for him.
    We'll search for her calls.
[14:42] Dia
    Got it. I'll give it a shot.
[14:46] Dia

[14:56] Rico Mom
    Rico! Rico!
[14:59] Rico
    Mommy!
[15:00] Lugh
    That voice...
[15:02] Dia
    It came from over there,
    down the main street.
[15:06] Lugh
    Rico.
[15:08] Lugh
    Let's go see your mommy.
[15:10] Rico
    Okay!
[15:13] Rico
    Mommy!
[15:14] Rico Mom
    Rico!
[15:16] Rico Mom
    Where have you been?
    I was looking for you.
[15:19] Rico
    Mommy!
[15:20] Dia
    I'm glad we found her.
[15:21] Lugh
    Yeah.
[15:29] Dia
    You're kind, aren't you?
[15:30] Lugh
    Not really. I did it for myself.
[15:34] Dia
    Really?
[15:35] Lugh
    I want you to remember
    our time together fondly.
[15:39] Lugh
    Ignoring a crying child would
    make for a sour memory.
[15:44] Dia
    You really are kind.
[15:46] Lugh
    Were you listening to me?
[15:48] Dia
    Yeah, I'm listening.
[15:51] Dia
    Since you're so kind, I'll take
    you someplace special as a reward.
[15:59] Lugh
    Isn't this place...
[16:01] Dia
    This hot spring is famous in Viekone.
[16:04] Dia
    I've always wanted to come here with you.
[16:11] Lugh
    Hold on, Dia. Is this a mixed bath?
[16:14] Dia
    Huh? A what?
[16:16] Lugh
    I'm asking if men and women
    don't bathe separately here.
[16:19] Dia
    Why?
[16:22] Dia
    It's fine. I reserved the
    whole place just for us.
[16:24] Lugh
    That's not what I mean.
[16:26] Dia
    Don't worry. Let's go.
[16:29] Lugh
    I know people of this cultural region
    have little objection to being seen naked.
[16:34] Lugh
    In my previous life, during ancient times,
[16:36] ---
    there were cultural regions where nobility
    in particular were not ashamed of their nudity.
[16:42] Lugh
    Mentally, I'm not so young as to easily lust
    over the naked body of the opposite sex,
[16:48] ---
    but this body I've been reincarnated
    into feels differently.
[16:53] Dia
    What's wrong, Lugh? Hurry up.
[16:55] Lugh
    I'll be right there. Go on without me.
[17:01] Dia
    Come on, hurry up.
[17:02] Lugh
    H-Hey!
[17:03] Lugh
    Dia, wait!
[17:15] Dia
    Hooray!
[17:21] Lugh
    This is less like a hot
    spring and more like a pool.
[17:29] Lugh
    You little...
[17:33] Lugh
    Wait up!
[17:40] Lugh
    Dia!
[17:43] Lugh
    Take a deep breath.
[17:45] Lugh
    Use your lungs as a flotation device.
[17:51] Lugh
    That's it. Breathe while keeping
    your lungs at that size.
[17:55] Lugh
    It'll allow you to maintain your buoyancy.
[17:58] Dia
    You know everything, Lugh.
[18:00] Lugh
    Thanks to my parents.
[18:04] Dia
    That's not the only reason.
[18:05] ---
    I'm sure it's because you're you, too.
[18:08] Lugh
    What does that mean?
[18:10] Dia
    I don't know.
[18:13] Dia
    I wish we could stay like this forever.
[18:16] Lugh
    Staying in the water too
    long would make you dizzy.
[18:19] Dia
    You're right, but I'd still
    rather stay like this.
[18:23] Dia
    You love Tuatha Dé, don't you, Lugh?
[18:26] Lugh
    Yeah, of course.
[18:29] Dia
    I love Viekone, too.
[18:32] Dia
    I love this town. I love the
    people who live in this town.
[18:37] Dia
    That's why I want to serve the interests
    of this town until the very end.
[18:40] Lugh
    Dia...
[18:42] Dia
    My father's currently on the
    battlefield, but he's really strong.
[18:46] Dia
    He's even good at losing.
[18:48] Lugh
    Good at losing?
[18:50] Dia
    Yeah. Even if he loses,
    he'll come back alive.
[18:54] Dia
    He's good at post-war clean-up, too.
[18:56] Lugh
    The greatest qualities a noble can have.
[18:58] Dia
    Yeah. That's why I have to greet him warmly
    and support him when he comes home.
[19:04] Lugh
    In other words, you don't want to flee.
[19:08] Dia
    Sorry.
[19:09] Lugh
    I understand. But I'll keep things ready for you.
[19:13] Dia
    Thank you.
[19:55] Dia
    Thanks for today. I had a lot of fun.
[19:58] Lugh
    Me, too.
[19:59] Dia
    Be careful on your way home.
[20:01] Lugh
    I will. I'll come again.
[20:06] Lugh
    What is it?
[20:08] Dia
    I'm going to be busy for a while.
[20:12] Dia
    I doubt I'll be able to see
    you until things calm down.
[20:15] Lugh
    I see.
[20:16] Dia
    I'll let you know once we
    can see each other again.
[20:18] Lugh
    Okay. I'll be waiting.
[20:20] Dia
    Take care.
[20:22] Lugh
    Take care.
[20:31] Lugh
    Dia.
[20:33] Lugh
    I'll make you that lasagna. It's a promise.
[20:38] Dia
    Okay!
[20:48] Dia
    You can stop now.
[21:04] Dia
    Goodbye, Lugh.
[22:47] Lugh
    Dia...
[22:49] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh!
[22:52] Lugh
    Tarte.
[22:54] Lugh
    What is it?
[22:55] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh, it's an emergency.
[23:07] Lugh
    Dad!
[23:08] Cian
    It's all right. I've put him
    to sleep using medicine.
[23:11] Lugh
    Who is this man?
[23:13] Cian
    Lugh...
[23:16] Cian
    He's hired us to do a job.
[23:19] Cian
    I want you to do it.
[23:22] Lugh
    Yes, Dad.
[23:23] Cian
    Your target is Count Viekone's daughter.
[23:27] Cian
    You'll assassinate Dia Viekone.

[02:11] Lugh
    Dad!
[02:13] Cian
    It's all right. I've put him

[02:16] Lugh
    Who is this man?
[02:18] Cian
    Lugh...
[02:21] Cian
    He's hired us to do a job.
[02:24] Cian
    I want you to do it.
[02:27] Lugh
    Yes, Dad.
[02:28] Cian
    Your target is Count Viekone's daughter.
[02:32] Cian
    You'll assassinate Dia Viekone.
[02:39] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh...
[02:41] Cian
    This is a job you can turn down.
[02:45] Cian
    You decide what you'll do.
[02:48] Lugh
    I have questions.
[02:50] Lugh
    House Viekone are nobles of Swoigel,
    a neighboring kingdom.
[02:54] Lugh
    Is it not unwise for us to meddle
    in another kingdom's affairs?
[02:56] Cian
    You're right. If our involvement were discovered,
    it would become an international problem.
[03:02] Lugh
    House Tuatha Dé conducts assassinations
    for the benefit of the Alvan Kingdom.
[03:08] Lugh
    I don't believe killing Dia
    would accomplish that.
[03:12] Cian
    There are personal feelings
    behind this assassination.
[03:15] Lugh
    Personal feelings?
[03:17] Cian
    House Viekone fought for the
    royal army in Swoigel's civil war.
[03:24] Cian
    And they were defeated.
[03:26] Lugh
    House Viekone paid their indemnity.
[03:29] Lugh
    They've completed their post-war process.
[03:32] Cian
    If you know all that,
    then that makes things easy.
[03:35] Cian
    Count Viekone surrendered
    most of his wealth and land.
[03:39] Cian
    But it didn't end there.
[03:43] Cian
    That's right. They've turned
    their attention to Dia.
[03:48] Cian
    Dia is a beautiful girl.
[03:50] Cian
    She possesses powerful magic, as well.
[03:53] Cian
    She'd be likely to produce a good heir.
[03:56] Cian
    Any greedy noble would want
    to get their hands on her.
[04:01] Cian
    Count Viekone intended to
    acquiesce to their demands.
[04:05] Cian
    In order to prevent needless bloodshed,
    Dia agreed to it, as well.
[04:10] Lugh
    So that's how it is.
[04:14] Lugh
    Dia knew she couldn't come
    to Tuatha Dé anymore.
[04:19] Cian
    Now here's the problem.
[04:21] Cian
    Viekone's vassals wouldn't
    allow them to hand over Dia.
[04:26] Cian
    They even cut down the envoys
    who came to pick up Dia.
[04:33] Cian
    House Viekone must be incredibly popular,
[04:36] ---
    as not only their vassals but also
    their people formed a volunteer army.
[04:42] Cian
    They've barricaded themselves
[04:44] Cian
    inside the castle and confined
    Count Viekone and Dia within.
[04:49] Cian
    Count Viekone is being treated
    as the instigator of a civil war.
[04:53] Cian
    The army has already been dispatched to
    his castle, and the fighting has begun.
[04:57] Lugh
    And they want us to kill Dia
    in order to stop the war?
[05:02] Lugh
    Who's the client?
[05:03] Cian
    The client is Dia's father, Count Viekone.
[05:09] Cian
    This man risked his life to
    communicate the count's intentions.
[05:12] Cian
    His request is that we assassinate Dia.
[05:15] Cian
    However, this is a facade.
[05:17] Lugh
    A facade?
[05:18] Cian
    Even if he won this battle,
[05:20] Cian
    reinforcements would be sent.
    It would be pointless.
[05:23] Lugh
    I see. Since they started a rebellion,
    they can't escape death.
[05:29] Lugh
    No matter how they struggle,
    Dia can't be saved.
[05:31] Lugh
    He'd rather pretend to have
    killed her so she can escape.
[05:35] Cian
    It's the only way to save her,
[05:38] ---
    and only the Tuatha Dé
    are capable of doing this.
[05:43] Lugh
    I have another question.
[05:44] Cian
    What is it?
[05:45] Lugh
    Why did you accept this job?
[05:48] Lugh
    Even if your friend's in danger,
[05:51] ---
    I can't imagine you bending in
    your principles as a Tuatha Dé.
[05:55] Cian
    You speak too highly of me.
[05:57] Cian
    I must repay my debts to Count Viekone.
[06:01] Cian
    If he wants me to save Dia, then I shall.
[06:06] Lugh
    What if I say no?
[06:08] Cian
    Then I'll go.
[06:10] Cian
    But it's a long way to the region of Viekone.
[06:14] Cian
    I wouldn't make it in time.
[06:16] Cian
    Besides, I'd be out of mana
    by the time I arrived.
[06:20] ---
    I wouldn't be able to do anything.
[06:23] Cian
    He left Viekone just three days ago.
[06:26] Cian
    The fighting has already begun.
[06:28] Cian
    Only you can do this, Lugh.
[06:30] Cian
    However, I'm motivated by personal
    feelings that deviate from our principles.
[06:35] Cian
    It's no more than a request to you from me.
[06:39] Lugh
    There's no justifiable reason to do this job.
[06:42] Lugh
    It runs the risk of harming
    the Alvan Kingdom.
[06:46] Lugh
    Ordinarily, this is a job I shouldn't accept.
[06:49] Lugh
    But I've already made up my mind.
[06:53] Lugh
    After living my life as a tool,
    I was thrown away.
[06:57] Lugh
    I won't make that mistake again.
[07:00] Lugh
    I'm not a tool anymore.
[07:02] Lugh
    As an individual human, I'll make my
    own judgments, choices, and decisions.
[07:09] Lugh
    I accept this job.
[07:12] Cian
    May I ask why?
[07:14] Lugh
    I have three reasons.
[07:15] Lugh
    First, I owe Dia for teaching me magic.
[07:19] Lugh
    Second, I'm in love with Dia.
[07:22] Lugh
    Third, I promised Dia that I would run
    to her if she ever asked for help.
[07:29] Lugh
    I know she's calling for me now.
[07:32] Cian
    I see. I've only bent my
    principles once in my life.
[07:38] Cian
    I took up the Tuatha Dé blade for
    someone other than the Alvan Kingdom.
[07:44] Cian
    Do you know why?
[07:46] Lugh
    No. I can't even imagine you doing that.
[07:52] Cian
    It was for my wife, Esri.
[07:58] Cian
    You probably suspected it already,
    but Esri is a daughter of House Viekone.
[08:05] Cian
    That makes Dia your cousin.
[08:08] Cian
    That silver hair is genetic.
[08:12] Cian
    I never thought my own son
    would make the same choice.
[08:16] Cian
    I thought you'd grown up to be unlike me.
[08:20] Cian
    But you've taken after me in an odd way.
[08:23] Lugh
    Dad...
[08:25] Cian
    Lugh, good luck.
[08:27] Lugh
    Thank you.
[08:33] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh.
[08:34] Tarte
    I'll assist you.
[08:37] Lugh
    I appreciate the thought, but my destination
    is more than 300 kilometers away.
[08:41] Lugh
    I'll be moving as quickly as possible.
[08:43] Lugh
    It's too far for you, Tarte.
[08:47] Tarte
    I know. I won't be able to
    accompany you all the way.
[08:51] Tarte
    But I can share my strength with you.
[08:55] Lugh
    What do you mean?
[08:57] Tarte
    Even with your Rapid Recovery,
[08:59] ---
    if you run at full speed,
    you won't recover quickly enough.
[09:02] Tarte
    You should save your mana
    and strength for fighting.
[09:07] Lugh
    Do you intend to carry me partway there?
[09:10] Tarte
    Yes.
[09:12] Tarte
    I'll use the wind spell you taught me.
[09:17] Tarte
    Dniw dleihs.
[09:22] Tarte
    I'll pull you along. Mr. Lugh, follow me.
[09:31] Lugh
    There's a lot of wind resistance
    when traveling at high speed.
[09:36] Lugh
    Beyond around 40 kilometers per hour, most of
    your energy is consumed by wind resistance.
[09:42] Lugh
    As your speed increases, the wind
    resistance increases exponentially,
[09:46] ---
    consuming more energy.
[09:49] Lugh
    By using her wind cowling to block the
    air, she's lowering my air resistance.
[09:54] Lugh
    Not only that, but she's pulling
    me along with negative pressure.
[09:58] Lugh
    It's what's known as a slipstream.
[10:02] Lugh
    She truly is carrying me.
[10:04] Lugh
    But that increases the burden on Tarte.
[10:08] Lugh
    Sprinting at full speed while maintaining
    the cowl is mentally and physically exhausting.
[10:20] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh saved me when I was dying.
[10:25] Tarte
    But he didn't do it for my sake.
[10:29] Tarte
    He did it so he could use me,
    because I had mana.
[10:35] Tarte
    Because he thought he could use me as a tool.
[10:40] Tarte
    That would probably be a sad thing for
    a normal person, but it made me happy.
[10:48] Tarte
    I was told I was an unwanted child.
[10:50] Tarte
    I was abandoned to reduce the
    number of mouths to feed.
[10:52] Tarte
    Nobody needed me,
    but Mr. Lugh said he needed me.
[11:00] Tarte
    He gave me a reason to live.
[11:03] Tarte
    So I'll dedicate my life to Mr. Lugh!
[11:21] Lugh
    Her mana...
[11:22] Lugh
    The air currents are becoming turbulent.
[11:25] Lugh
    That's enough, Tarte!
    You've reached your limit!
[11:29] Tarte
    I'm not done yet!
[11:37] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh hated the idea of becoming a tool.
[11:42] Tarte
    Whether it was the master's commands
    or House Tuatha Dé's duties,
[11:47] ---
    he was always able to think, choose,
    and fight according to his own will.
[11:54] Tarte
    And I watched it all.
[11:58] Tarte
    My job is to make Mr. Lugh's wishes come true.
[12:03] Tarte
    So if Mr. Lugh rejects the
    idea of becoming a tool,
[12:07] ---
    then I will become the ultimate tool for him!
[12:12] Tarte
    If he wants to rescue Ms. Dia,
    then I'll do everything I can to save her!
[12:46] Lugh
    Are you all right?
[12:52] Tarte
    I'm... sorry. This is as far... as I can go.
[12:59] Lugh
    You did plenty.
[13:01] Lugh
    Thanks to you, I was able
    to conserve my strength.
[13:08] Lugh
    This is the first time I've made
    it this far in so little time.
[13:17] ---
    Um...
[13:20] Tarte
    Mr. Lugh, you love Ms. Dia, don't you?
[13:25] Lugh
    I do.
[13:27] Tarte
    Promise me.
[13:30] Tarte
    Promise me you'll come back together.
[13:33] Lugh
    I will.
[13:37] Lugh
    I'll definitely return.
[14:22] Lugh
    Please let me make it in time!
[14:24] Lugh
    Dia!
[14:30] Esri
    I see. So Lugh left.
[14:32] Esri
    It reminds me of the past.
[14:34] Cian
    Me, too.
[14:36] Cian
    But he's a strong boy. Stronger than me.

[15:02] (Flashback) Goddess
    In order to prevent the predicted
    destruction of the world,
[15:05] (Flashback) ---
    over several decades, I have selected
    experts in various professions,
[15:09] (Flashback) ---
    collected their souls upon their
    death, reincarnated them,
[15:13] (Flashback) ---
    and dispatched them as covert

[15:16] (Flashback) Goddess
    I've observed their progress and actions,

    Soul suitable for stopping
    the Hero's rampage found.
[15:36] (Flashback) Goddess
    I shall await its death.
[15:43] Lugh
    Looks like the enemy numbers around 1,500.
[15:47] Lugh
    That's more than I expected.
[15:49] Lugh
    Viekone's forces have fewer than 200 men.
[15:59] Lugh
    The enemy has more magic users, too.
[16:02] Lugh
    Their advantage in strength is too great.
[16:05] Lugh
    Still... that's odd.
[16:07] Lugh
    How are the Viekone forces holding out
    when they're at such a disadvantage?
[16:11] Lugh
    From the looks of it, the attacking
    army is being cautious of projectiles.
[16:17] Lugh
    So that's it.
[16:20] Lugh
    I was prepared to live in
    this world as an assassin.
[16:25] Lugh
    Because I choose, judge,
    and kill of my own free will,
[16:31] ---
    I don't kill unnecessarily.
[16:36] Lugh
    However...
[16:37] Lugh
    Etaerc nug.
[16:40] Lugh
    This is war, and my victory conditions
    are rescuing Dia and faking her death.
[16:49] Lugh
    I'll kill anyone who tries to
    take her, and I'll show no mercy.
[16:55] Lugh
    A magic user.
[16:56] Lugh
    Commander class.
[17:05] Soldier A
    Metal pellets!
[17:08] Soldier B
    Is it the count's daughter?
[17:09] Soldier C
    No, it's coming from behind us!
[17:11] Commander A
    Defensive formation!
[17:12] ---
    Sir!
[17:15] Commander A
    Fire!
[17:20] Lugh
    If they responded this quickly,
    they must know what guns are.
[17:24] Lugh
    With their magic users at the front,
[17:26] ---
    their sheer numbers should've
    overpowered the defenders.
[17:28] Lugh
    But magic users are high-ranking individuals.
[17:32] Lugh
    They can't send them to the front
    if they know they'll be shot at.
[17:35] Lugh
    As a result,
[17:36] Lugh
    since the Viekone forces can send their magic
    users to the front, they have the advantage.
[17:40] Lugh
    They've held out for three days because
    Dia has been supporting them with gunfire.
[17:51] Lugh
    I'll use wind magic to pick up sounds.
[17:53] Lugh
    Dniw noitceted.
[18:02] Voice A
    We're being attacked from behind!
[18:05] Voice B
    Is it reinforcements?
[18:06] Voice C
    There are metal pellet users
    besides the count's daughter?
[18:11] Voice D
    They're only aiming at our magic users!
[18:14] Lugh
    They're confused.
[18:16] Lugh
    Now's the time to attack as they flee.
[18:18] Lugh
    Etaerc nug.
[18:23] Lugh
    When a Fahr Stone reaches critical mass,
    it releases all its mana at once.
[18:29] Lugh
    When mana is released instantly,
[18:31] ---
    it travels faster than the speed
    of sound, creating a shock wave.
[18:35] Lugh
    I'll maximize its explosive power using
    70% fire mana and 20% wind mana,
[18:39] ---
    and also grant it the killing power of
    shrapnel fragments with 10% earth mana.
[18:45] Lugh
    Then I'll fire it using a bow
    that shoots silently.
[19:00] Lugh
    It makes a passable grenade launcher.
[19:10] Lugh
    Dia...
[19:14] Commander B
    Don't group up!
[19:15] Commander B
    Spread out!
[19:26] Viekone Soldier A
    The enemy forces are in disarray!
[19:28] Viekone Soldier B
    Don't miss this chance!
[19:30] Viekone Soldier B
    Charge!
[19:39] Lugh
    They seem to recognize an
    opportunity when they see one.
[19:41] Lugh
    Mrofsnart latem.
[19:43] Lugh
    That's enough of a diversion.
[19:47] Lugh
    The real work starts now.
[20:02] Lugh
    Dniw noitceted.
[20:05] Lugh
    This time, I'll increase the range
    and detect sounds more accurately,
[20:13] Lugh
    and find a way in that's deserted.
[20:36] Dia
    It's all right. I trust you.
[20:47] Lugh
    In order to fake Dia's death,
    I must fool all her people.
[20:53] Lugh
    And to do that, I can't be witnessed by
    the soldiers within the castle, either.
[21:00] Lugh
    Mrofsnart latem.
[21:04] Lugh
    Dia!
[21:09] Dia
    Lugh!
[21:10] Lugh
    Dia!
[21:16] Lugh
    I'm glad you're all right.
[21:21] Dia
    You really came.
[23:09] Maha
    Come in.
[23:10] Noine
    Maha, you've been gathering information
    about divine treasures, right?
[23:14] Maha
    Yes.
[23:15] Noine
    Could this be about them?
[23:23] Maha
    Noine, prepare a messenger pigeon
    to be sent to Tuatha Dé.
[23:26] Noine
    Got it.
[23:30] Maha
    I must notify Brother Lugh about this.
[23:36] Lugh
    Next time, "Battle of Assassin."

[02:14] Lugh
    Dia!
[02:19] Dia
    Lugh!
[02:20] Lugh
    Dia!
[02:25] Lugh
    I'm glad you're all right.
[02:30] Dia
    You really came.
[02:38] Dimor
    I thought my daughter was
    a stranger to romance.
[02:42] Dimor
    Who knew you'd stolen her heart?
[02:46] Dimor
    I am Dimor Viekone.
[02:48] Lugh
    I am Lugh Tuatha Dé.
[02:50] Lugh
    I came here to respond to your request.
[02:53] Dimor
    I did ask for Dia to be taken away,
[02:56] ---
    but it seems she'll be taken
    away in more ways than one.
[02:59] Dia
    Father, don't say that.
[03:05] Dimor
    I told my vassals to flee, but I'm sure
    they'd say they couldn't leave without us.
[03:11] Dimor
    They locked us in here because they
    sensed I intended to surrender.
[03:16] Lugh
    What are you going to do after this?
[03:18] Dimor
    If it's me alone, I'll manage just fine.
[03:21] Dimor
    I'll draw the enemy to me
    by going on a rampage,
[03:24] ---
    and vanish after allowing
    my allies to escape.
[03:27] Dimor
    Then I'll prepare for a counterattack
[03:30] ---
    so this kingdom can be returned
    to its rightful owners.
[03:34] Lugh
    Understood. I'll set fire to this room.
[03:37] Lugh
    Our story will be that Dia committed suicide.
[03:46] Dia
    What's this?
[03:47] Lugh
    A fallen soldier.
[03:49] Lugh
    I feel sorry for them,
    but they'll help us fake your death.
[03:52] Dimor
    Cian has a marvelous heir. I'm jealous.
[03:58] Lugh
    Dia, shout out the window.
[04:01] Lugh
    This is what you'll say:
[04:02] Lugh
    "It pains me to see anyone
    else get hurt because of me."
[04:07] Lugh
    "I won't belong to anyone."
[04:10] Dia
    Got it.
[04:18] Lugh
    Once you're finished, close the window.
[04:20] Lugh
    Then we'll set fire to this room.
[04:22] Dimor
    I'll tell only the commander about this.
[04:25] Dimor
    I'm sure he'll allow my vassals
    to escape amidst the confusion.
[04:29] Dia
    I'm ready.
[04:30] Lugh
    All right. Let's begin.
[04:37] Lugh
    What is this feeling?
[04:42] Lugh
    Shit.
[04:44] Lugh
    Shit.
[04:46] ---
    Shit!
[04:47] Lugh
    This is the feeling I experience
    when danger is approaching!
[05:05] Lugh
    Get away from the window!
[05:25] Dia
    Lugh...
[05:29] Dia
    What is that?
[05:44] Lugh
    He has so much mana.
[05:50] Dia
    Lugh!
[05:51] Lugh
    Etaerc nonnac.
[05:54] Lugh
    Cover your ears and open your mouth!
[05:57] Lugh
    Drabmob.
[06:15] Dia
    It's been a while since
    I last saw your Bombard.
[06:18] Dimor
    What was that?
[06:21] Lugh
    One of my assassination techniques.
[06:24] Lugh
    I use it to kill distant targets.
[06:27] Dimor
    I'm not sure I know what
    assassination is anymore.
[06:31] Dia
    If you got hit by that,
    nothing would be left behind.
[06:39] Lugh
    That knight...
[06:46] Setanta
    So this is pain? I've never felt this before!
[06:49] Setanta
    It's not too bad.
[06:51] Lugh
    That's the S-rank skill Berserk.
[06:55] Lugh
    Triggered by anger, it increases
    physical and magical abilities.
[07:00] Lugh
    An aura of rage raises attack and defense.
[07:05] Lugh
    Judging by his condition, even if the next
    Bombard hits him, he'll be unscathed.
[07:10] Dia
    No way...
[07:11] Dimor
    Lugh, take Dia and run.
[07:15] Dimor
    Now that he's shown up, we don't have
    resources to spare to fake Dia's death.
[07:20] Lugh
    You know him?
[07:21] Dimor
    He ended the civil war.
[07:25] Dimor
    I didn't think he'd arrive this quickly.
[07:28] Dimor
    When the royal family realized no one
    could stop him, they surrendered.
[07:34] Setanta
    I heard there was a woman here
    who uses troublesome magic.
[07:38] Setanta
    That was an impressive display!
[07:41] Setanta
    I'll allow you to choose!
[07:44] Setanta
    Do you want me to slaughter
    every last one of you,
[07:48] ---
    or will you duel me like a knight?
[07:51] Lugh
    A duel?
[07:52] Setanta
    If you win,
[07:54] Setanta
    I'll withdraw all our forces and never allow
    them to make a move on Viekone again.
[07:58] Setanta
    What do you think? Pretty good deal, right?
[08:00] Dia
    A duel? But, Lugh...
[08:02] Lugh
    With the Berserk skill, in exchange
    for overwhelming strength,
[08:06] ---
    he should lose his sense
    of reason as a side effect.
[08:09] Lugh
    But he's still acting rationally.
[08:12] Lugh
    The odds that an ordinary human would
    possess both Berserk and the skill necessary
[08:17] ---
    to suppress its side effects are
    astronomically small, which means...
[08:20] Setanta
    My name is Setanta MacNess!
[08:23] ---
    I'll give you time to steel your resolve.
[08:26] Setanta
    Surely dying in a duel is
    a knight's greatest wish.
[08:29] Lugh
    She was right.
[08:31] (Flashback) Maha
    The divine treasure I found
    is the magic spear Gáe Bolg.
[08:35] (Flashback) Maha
    It's owned by a man named Setanta MacNess.
[08:38] (Flashback) Maha
    He's also known as Kran's Hound,
[08:41] (Flashback) Maha
    and the man most likely to be the Hero.
[08:44] Lugh
    That's the divine treasure Gáe Bolg.
[08:48] Lugh
    And he is...
[09:08] Cian
    Enter.
[09:10] Esri
    I'm sorry to bother you.
[09:12] Cian
    It's fine. What is it?
[09:15] Esri
    This just arrived.
[09:24] Cian
    What? The Hero?

[09:32] Setanta
    Whatever you do,
    you'd better not run away!
[09:35] Setanta
    If you do that, I don't think
    I'll be able to hold myself back.
[09:39] Setanta
    You're the first opponent I've found who
    might be able to put up a proper fight!
[09:44] Lugh
    He's completely zeroed in on me.
[09:47] Lugh
    I can't run from him.
[09:49] ---
    I have to accept his challenge.
[09:51] Dia
    But... But you'd beat him in a duel, right?
[09:55] Lugh
    I'd definitely lose a duel against him.
[09:58] Lugh
    If this can't kill him,
    then there's nothing I can do.
[10:02] Lugh
    I'd be lucky to last ten seconds.
[10:05] Dia
    It's too reckless to duel him
    when you know you can't win!
[10:08] Lugh
    All I said was that I'd lose a duel.
[10:11] Lugh
    Etaerc netsgnut.
[10:14] Dia
    How are you so calm?
[10:16] ---
    You'll die if you lose!
[10:18] Dia
    I'll fight with you!
[10:20] Lugh
    Dia.
[10:21] Lugh
    I'm not a knight, much less a Hero.
[10:24] Lugh
    I'm an assassin.
[10:26] Lugh
    The only thing I can do is assassinate.
[10:28] Lugh
    And that's what I'll do now.
[10:30] Dia
    Lugh...
[10:32] Lugh
    Gnitaolf cigam.
[10:37] Lugh
    Count Viekone, come with me.
[10:40] Lugh
    If we're going to end this war with a duel,
[10:43] ---
    you'll need to be present.
[10:47] Dimor
    Very well. I'm sorry you
    got caught up in this.
[10:52] Dimor
    We could use all our remaining forces
    to stop him so you and Dia can escape.
[10:57] Lugh
    You wouldn't last a minute against him.
[11:01] Lugh
    I'm going to assassinate him.
[11:04] Dimor
    All right. Let's go.
[11:08] Lugh
    If he really is the Hero,
[11:11] ---
    then killing him could be a problem.
[11:14] Lugh
    But if I can't assassinate him here,
    then it's over either way.
[11:27] Maha
    Brother Lugh...
[11:30] Viekone Commander
    Orders from the count.
[11:32] ---
    Everyone is to return to the castle.
[11:35] Senanta
    I've been waiting for you.
[11:37] Setanta
    Tell me. Have you steeled your resolve?
[11:40] Lugh
    I accept your challenge.
[11:44] Setanta
    Finally, a duel!
[11:46] Setanta
    I'm starting to get excited!
[11:46] Lugh
    443 more seconds.
[11:49] Lugh
    The code of chivalry
    demands I identify myself.
[11:52] Setanta
    Fantastic. Being on the battlefield
    demands that this be all the classier.
[11:56] Lugh
    I am Feri Marconi.
[11:59] Setanta
    Feri, huh? I'll remember that.
[12:02] Setanta
    Thanks to you, I tasted my
    own blood for the first time.
[12:06] Lugh
    His wounds have healed completely.
[12:08] Lugh
    It must be the power of his Berserk skill.
[12:11] Lugh
    Not only is he negating the
    side effects of the skill,
[12:13] ---
    he's also capable of instantly
    healing any superficial damage.
[12:17] Lugh
    He truly is exceptional. I'm beat.
[12:21] Lugh
    Setanta, if I win this duel,
    you'll withdraw your forces, right?
[12:26] Setanta
    Sure. I'll withdraw our forces and
    never make a move on this region again.
[12:30] Setanta
    I'll kill anyone who does.
[12:33] Setanta
    Shall I impose a geas on myself?
[12:36] Lugh
    I trust you.
[12:38] Lugh
    However, I'll end up
    killing you in this duel.
[12:42] Lugh
    I'm uncertain that you'll be
    able to keep your promise.
[12:44] Setanta
    Now you've said it.
[12:45] ---
    No one's ever spoken to me like that before.
[12:48] Setanta
    Hey!
[12:50] Dilmura
    Yes, sir?
[12:51] Setanta
    If I die, you'll keep my promise.
[12:54] Dilmura
    As you wish, sir.
[12:55] Setanta
    Satisfied, Feri?
[12:58] Lugh
    221 seconds.
[13:00] Lugh
    One last question. What happens if I die?
[13:05] Setanta
    I'll kidnap the princess and
    slaughter everyone else.
[13:09] Setanta
    I bet that lights a fire in you, doesn't it?
[13:11] Lugh
    Yeah, it does.
    I can't allow myself to lose now.
[13:16] Setanta
    Then let's get this started!
[13:19] Setanta
    I'm hungry for a strong opponent!
[13:21] Lugh
    126 seconds.
[13:22] Lugh
    First, why don't you withdraw your soldiers?
[13:24] Lugh
    I'm not confident they won't
    get caught up in our duel.
[13:26] Lugh
    If simply winning is enough to end this war,
[13:28] ---
    there's no reason to kill them pointlessly.
[13:31] Setanta
    You're such a nice guy.
[13:32] Setanta
    Did you have a good upbringing?
[13:34] Lugh
    I was disciplined harshly.
[13:36] Setanta
    Did you hear that?
[13:38] ---
    Stand back if you don't want to die!
[13:40] Lugh
    Count Viekone, let me handle this.
[13:44] Dimor
    All right. Good luck.
[14:03] Lugh
    Etaerc muinatit.
[14:07] Dimor
    I doubt that flimsy little thing
    will be enough to stop my spear!
[14:11] Lugh
    44 seconds.
[14:13] Lugh
    You'll see once we start fighting.
[14:15] Lugh
    No, maybe you won't.
[14:17] Setanta
    What does that mean?
[14:19] Lugh
    This duel will end before
    I need to block your spear.
[14:23] Setanta
    You've got a big mouth on you.
[14:26] Setanta
    You're so interesting,
    I just want to kill you.
[14:29] Setanta
    How shall we begin?
[14:31] Lugh
    How about when this falls?
[14:34] Setanta
    Yeah, sure!
[14:39] Lugh
    Then it's decided.
[14:42] Lugh
    In a duel, one's initial move is crucial.
[14:46] Lugh
    Both parties focus all their attention on the
    coin so they don't miss the moment it falls.
[14:52] Lugh
    Seven, six, five...
[14:56] Lugh
    I'm not a knight,
[14:58] Lugh
    nor will I allow you to have any glory.
[15:01] Lugh
    Just die.
[15:17] Lugh
    This assassination spell is
    based on a space weapon
[15:20] ---
    being developed by a country from my
    previous life, known as "rods from God."
[15:25] Lugh
    Metal is dropped from orbit.
[15:28] Lugh
    It's a matter-based weapon
    comparable to nuclear weapons.
[15:30] Lugh
    However, there were issues with launching
    large amounts of matter into orbit
[15:35] ---
    and preventing the rods from burning up
    as they re-entered the atmosphere,
[15:39] ---
    so it hadn't been implemented there,
    but it's easy for me to do now.
[15:45] Lugh
    There is an Earth spell that
    doubles the gravity of the target.
[15:49] Lugh
    Dia devised a technique for making
    that constant a negative,
[15:52] ---
    and Spell Weaver turned that into
    a dynamic-force-reversing spell.
[15:59] Lugh
    That allows me to send objects into orbit.
[16:03] Lugh
    Once the tungsten spear has reached orbit,
[16:06] ---
    I cast wind magic on it, protecting it from
    heating on re-entry, and allow it to free fall.
[16:11] Lugh
    But the problem is aiming it.
[16:14] Lugh
    Aiming for a direct hit would require
    extremely accurate calculations and execution.
[16:19] Lugh
    That's why I trained on the
    uninhabited island Maha found.
[16:24] Lugh
    Otherwise, this assassination
    attempt never could've succeeded.
[16:28] Lugh
    It instantaneously releases the
    energy of 111 shots from a tank gun.
[16:33] Lugh
    This duel ended the moment
    I threw that tungsten spear.
[16:51] Dia
    Lugh...
[17:23] Lugh
    I developed the spell
    Gungnir to defeat the Hero.
[17:29] Lugh
    That's the spell that assassinated you.
[17:44] ---
    Lugh...
[17:46] Dia
    Lugh!
[17:49] ---
    Lugh!
[17:51] Lugh
    Dia...
[17:53] Dia
    Lugh...
[17:56] ---
    Lugh!
[17:57] Dia
    I'm glad you're all right.
[17:59] Lugh
    Yeah.
[18:02] ---
    Are you sure this is what you wanted?
[18:05] Dia
    I'm sad that things turned out this way,
[18:09] ---
    but because of you,
    nothing truly sad happened.
[18:15] Lugh
    Yeah.
[18:16] Dia
    Why did you come to save me?
[18:19] Dia
    You risked your life for no
    benefit to House Tuatha Dé.
[18:24] Lugh
    I promised I'd come running.
[18:29] Dia
    You remembered our old promise...
[18:37] Dia
    Thank you.
[18:39] ---
    I'll repay my debt to you in my own way.
[18:44] Lugh
    Don't worry about it.
[18:46] ---
    By fulfilling this promise,
    I'm repaying my debt to you.
[18:49] Lugh
    If you repay that debt, we'll be
    paying each other back forever.
[18:54] Dia
    You're right.
[18:56] ---
    But paying each other back
    forever sounds kind of nice.
[19:00] Lugh
    You're right. There's a problem, though.
[19:06] Lugh
    I don't see any enemies.
[19:08] ---
    Without witnesses, we can't fake your death.
[19:12] Dia
    I suppose you're right.
[19:25] Lugh
    For the first time in my life,
    I've failed an assassination attempt.
[19:29] Lugh
    Things didn't go as planned,
    but I don't feel too bad about it.
[22:24] Cian
    Well done completing the job, Lugh.
[22:27] Tarte
    I knew you could do it, Mr. Lugh.
[22:30] Lugh
    Thanks to you, Tarte.
[22:31] Tarte
    Aw, shucks.
[22:33] Cian
    Thank you for fulfilling my friend's request
    in your disappointing father's place.
[22:38] Lugh
    But I failed an assassination
    attempt for the first time.
[22:42] Cian
    It's fine as long as Dia's alive.
[22:45] Cian
    From now on, she'll conceal her identity
    and live here as your younger sister.
[22:50] Lugh
    My younger sister?
    But Dia's three years older than me.
[22:53] Cian
    She shares Esri's family line.
[22:55] Cian
    She's short and has a young face.
[22:58] Cian
    People will believe she's
    your younger sister.
[23:01] Cian
    I have one other important thing to tell you.
[23:04] Lugh
    All right.
[23:06] Cian
    The Hero has appeared here
    in the Alvan Kingdom.
[23:09] Lugh
    The Hero? In this kingdom?
[23:12] Lugh
    Setanta wasn't the Hero?
[23:14] Cian
    Which means that before long,
    the Demon Lord will appear.
[23:20] Cian
    Lugh, keep an eye on the situation.
[23:23] Lugh
    Yes, Dad.
[23:28] Knight Captain
    Thank you for coming.
[23:33] Mireille
    Allow me to introduce you.
[23:34] Mireille
    This is the Hero,
[23:36] Mireille
    Lord Epona Rhiannon.
