"Kill the Hero who is prophesied to destroy the world."
This was to be the mission in his new life. The synergistic effect of the vast knowledge and experience he gained that made all manner of assassinations possible in the modern world, and the secret techniques and magic of the fantasy world's most powerful family of assassins turn him into the greatest assassin of all time.

**[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.

Can I get seven million?

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.
**[04:06] Dia**
Well, it should just about be my turn.
**[04:09] Man A**

**[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.

***SIGN*** The World's Finest Assassin
Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat

**[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.

**[10:45] Lugh**
Etaerc reppoc.
**[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.
**[23:36] Narration**
Next time, "Plan of Goddess."

**[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.*

Where am I?
**[13:00] Goddess**
I brought your soul here after your death.
**[13:04] Goddess**
Despite being the world's finest special
forces soldier, you died in battle.
**[13:10] Soldier**
What does that mean?
**[13:11] Goddess**
I'm exploring all kinds of possibilities.
**[13:15] Goddess**
By the way, I'm a goddess.
**[13:19] Goddess**
You will be reincarnated in a fantasy
world of swords and sorcery.
**[13:24] Goddess**
I'd like you to kill the Hero there.
**[13:28] Soldier**
In other words,
**[13:29] Soldier**
I've been blessed with the opportunity to
either go on a max-level sightseeing trip
**[13:32] ---**

maxed-out defensive stats who never feels pain?
**[13:36] Goddess**
I can't do that,

I can accommodate you to some degree.
**[13:42] Solider**
Got it. I accept your mission!
**[13:51] Goddess**
So, Number 283 was reincarnated

**[14:01] Solider**

***SIGN*** Lugh Age 12
**[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.*

**[02:56] Lugh**
The marketplace is thriving.
**[02:57] Tarte**
We had a long spell of dry weather
this year, but the harvest was good.
**[03:05] Rack**
Mr. Lugh!
**[03:07] Lugh**
Hey, Rack. How's your farm?
**[03:09] Rack**
Thanks to the fertilizer you showed me,
as you can see, I had a great harvest.
**[03:14] Lugh**
I'm glad to hear that.
Your onions are delicious.
**[03:18] Rack**
You honor me, Mr. Lugh.
**[03:21] Rack**
This is to thank you for the fertilizer.
**[03:24] Luch**
Thank you, Rack.
**[03:26] Emma**
Mr. Lugh!
**[03:27] Emma**
Take these, too.
**[03:29] Lugh**
Are you sure?
**[03:30] Emma**
They're to thank you for using magic to
refill the reservoir that had dried up.
**[03:35] Lugh**
Thank you, Emma.
**[03:36] Pat**
Mr. Lugh, Mr. Lugh!
**[03:39] Lugh**
What is it, Pat?
**[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.
**[22:02] Tarte**
Yes, Mr. Illig!
**[23:36] Narration**

**[00:08] Tarte**
Mr. Lugh, what do you think
of this servant outfit?
**[00:12] Lugh**
It looks good on you, Tarte.
**[00:13] Tarte**
Your hair color...
**[00:15] Lugh**
I used magic to attach the obsidian
powder I created to my hair.
**[00:19] Tarte**
What a waste of your beautiful silver hair.
**[00:23] Lugh**
It's too characteristic of Lugh Tuatha Dé.
**[00:27] Tarte**
We're finally starting our lives in Milteu.
**[00:29] Lugh**
Yeah. For the next two years,
I'll be Illig Balor, merchant of Milteu.

It won't cost you much.

**[02:37] Tourist A**
Do you know anyplace with fine liquor?
**[02:39] Maha**
What's your budget?
**[02:41] Tourist A**
I'd like to go someplace clean.
**[02:44] Maha**
Leave it to me.
**[02:48] Maha**
Kerry.
**[02:52] Maha**
Take this.
**[02:54] Toursist A**
What's this doll for?
**[02:56] Maha**
It's a souvenir to remember

**[03:06] Kerry**

**[03:09] Kerry**
Have you seen the attractions of Milteu yet?
**[03:13] Kerry**
First time in Milteu?
**[03:19] Kerry**
I'm back.
**[03:21] Ifa**
Welcome back, Kerry.
**[03:23] Kerry**
Here. My tour fee and Jodie's referral fee.
**[03:26] Noine**
Good work.
**[03:30] Michelle**
I've got a sightseeing tour next.
**[03:32] Connor**
Ifa, could you take this one?
**[03:34] Ifa**
Got it.
**[03:35] Kerry**
Here.
**[03:36] Ifa**
Thanks.
**[03:37] Kerry**
See you later.
**[03:39] Ifa**
I'll be back.
**[03:41] Kerry**
I wish I could give sightseeing tours.
**[03:43] ---**
Customers treat you to food, don't they?
**[03:46] Noine**
It's tragic if they're cheap, though.
**[03:48] Noine**
All you can do is stand there and
watch while the customer eats.
**[03:52] Connor**
But you get paid a tour fee.
**[03:54] Connor**
Then you can eat a proper meal.
**[03:56] Michelle**
Yeah. This wasn't even conceivable before.
**[04:00] Noine**
It's all thanks to Maha.
**[04:03] Noine**
If Maha hadn't come up with
a way for us to work,
**[04:05] ---**
we'd still be scrounging for scraps.
**[04:09] Michelle**
Yeah.
**[04:11] Connor**
A sudden shower!
**[04:16] Kerry**
Michelle, give me a hand.
**[04:17] Michelle**
Okay.
**[04:22] Noine**
Welcome back, Maha.
**[04:24] Maha**
Thanks, Noine.
**[04:30] Noine**
This is all we made today, huh?
**[04:32] Michelle**
It can't be helped, considering the rain.
**[04:34] Maha**
But we're so close to being
able to buy new clothes.
**[04:38] Maha**
Then we can give even more sightseeing tours.
**[04:41] Kerry**
These aren't good enough?
**[04:43] Maha**
Tourists don't want to walk
around with kids wearing rags.
**[04:47] Connor**
I'm impressed you thought of that, Maha.
**[04:51] Maha**
My dad was a merchant before he died.
**[04:53] Maha**
He said considering your customers'
wants is the foundation of business.
**[04:57] Michelle**
Ah, I see.
**[05:00] Ifa**
You don't know what she's
talking about, Michelle.
**[05:02] Michelle**
Neither do you, Ifa.
**[05:03] Kerry**
I do.
**[05:04] Michelle & Ifa**
No way.
**[05:05] Noine**
Even if we don't understand,
we just have to do what Maha says.
**[05:09] Noine**
Then we can eat every day.
**[05:11] Maha**
Let's work even more and earn more money
so we can rent a house to live in.
**[05:16] Maha**
We'll live comfortably enough that we won't
have to worry about the rain or the wind.
**[05:20] Noine**
That's amazing, Maha. You've even
thought about living in a house.
**[05:23] Maha**
If we work together, I know we can do it.
**[05:26] Lloyd**
Well, well.
**[05:28] Lloyd**
There's quite a few of them here.
**[05:32] Lloyd**
Take them away!
**[05:33] Bad Man B**
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.

I'll give you something tastier to eat.
**[10:38] Ifa**
Really?
**[10:39] Lloyd**
Yeah, of course.
**[10:41] Lloyd**
Maha.
**[10:42] Lloyd**
You're coming, too.
**[10:44] Maha**
Yes, sir.
**[10:50] Lloyd**
Strip.
**[10:50] Ifa**
What?
**[10:51] Lloyd**
Don't make me say it again!
**[10:53] Ifa**
Yes, sir.
**[11:03] Lloyd**
Maha, wash her.
**[11:05] Maha**
Yes, sir.
**[11:15] Maha**
I'm done.
**[11:16] Ifa**
Okay.
**[11:19] Torran**
Are you ready?
**[11:21] Torran**
It's time to leave. Let's go, Ifa.
**[11:25] Ifa**
I'll be back.
**[11:27] Maha**
Okay.
**[11:33] Maha**
Ifa...
**[12:16] Maha**
Ifa?
**[12:23] Maha**
Ifa!
**[12:27] Maha**
Ifa.
**[12:29] ---**
Ifa.
**[12:45] Maha**
Ifa.
**[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.
**[13:53] Noine**
Wait!
**[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**
Noine...
**[15:00] Noine**
No one will buy me now that
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.

The end of the line is over here!
**[11:36] Kerry**
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
time entering the store.
**[11:54] Ifa**
I'm sorry, but we're limiting each
customer to two bottles of moisturizer.
**[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.
***SIGN*** 30 Years Earlier
**[16:00] (Flashback) Mc**
Where am I?
**[16:06] (Flashback) Goddess**
The world's finest MC is you.
**[16:08] (Flashback) Goddess**
I summoned your soul here

**[16:10] (Flashback) Mc**
What do you want me to do?
**[16:12] (Flashback) Goddess**
Your lyrical murders are legendary.
**[16:15] (Flashback) Goddess**
Those who battled you
found suicide necessary.
**[16:17] (Flashback) Mc**
My lyrics are the strongest, a real calamity.
**[16:20] (Flashback) Mc**
These words will take down any enemy.

I always seize victory.

*Hey, what did you just say?*
**[16:42] Former Mc**
*Uh, nothing. Sorry.*
**[16:44] Villager B**
* What? If you keep playing dumb,*
* we'll tear you limb from limb!*
**[16:50] Goddess**
I guess in this era,
he's just insulting people.
**[16:57] Tarte**
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."

Noine's going to be mad at us.
**[00:12] Ifa**
But it's hard to know

**[00:15] Kerry**
You should've asked Maha.

No, then I'd feel like I lost.

You're so stubborn.

You, too.
**[00:38] Man A**
Hey, you're actually pretty cute.
**[00:47] Kerry**
Maha!
**[00:48] Maha**
I was worried since you
were late, so I came here.
**[00:51] Maha**
Are you hurt?
**[00:52] Ifa**
We're fine. Thanks, Maha.
**[00:57] Maha**
I don't recognize you.
**[00:58] Maha**
Is this your first time in Milteu?
**[01:01] Man B**
Who the hell are you?
**[01:03] Maha**
If you don't recognize us in the
back alleys, you must be outsiders.
**[01:06] Maha**
Would you care for a sightseeing tour?
**[01:08] Man A**
Shut up!
**[01:15] Maha**
Remember this.
**[01:17] Maha**
Touch my girls again, and I'll
escort you straight to hell.

I've returned.
**[03:16] Illig**
Welcome back, Tarte.
How did things go this time?
**[03:20] Tarte**
Here are my spoils.
**[03:27] Illig**
A collection of second buttons?
**[03:29] Tarte**
They're from all the men's hearts I pierced.
**[03:32] Illig**
With that spear?
**[03:33] Tarte**
Yes, although sometimes it was their
heads instead of their hearts.
**[03:37] Illig**
I've heard the reports.
**[03:40] Illig**
On the battlefield, they call you the

**[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.
**[23:36] Lugh**
Next time, "Compensation of Assassination."

**[00:34] Lugh**
The target is Count Azba Venkaur.
**[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.
***SIGN*** 25 Years Earlier
**[07:26] (Flashback) Paparazzo**
Where am I?
**[07:28] (Flashback) Goddess**
Despite being the world's finest paparazzo,
you foolishly died in a crime of passion.
**[07:36] (Flashback) Paparazzo**
What do you want me to do?
**[07:38] (Flashback) Goddess**
You'll be reincarnated in a fantasy
world of swords and sorcery.
**[07:42] (Flashback) Goddess**
With the skills you used to dispirit
countless celebrities with defamatory articles,
**[07:48] (Flashback) Goddess**
you'll demoralize the Hero and
prevent the world's destruction.
**[07:55] Goddess**
So, Number 519 was reincarnated
25 years ago. How's his progress?
***SIGN*** I'll leap in front of the Hero's carriage and photograph the hit-and-run.
***SIGN*** That'll be the first step toward inventing countless scandals.
**[08:16] Citizen**
Whoa!
***SIGN*** He's coming. Now!
**[08:20] Citizen**
Runaway horse!
***SIGN*** Huh?
**[08:32] Tarte**
It's a big town.
**[08:34] Lugh**
Pisear is the second-greatest
merchant town after Milteu.
**[08:45] Tarte**
I see wounded soldiers.
**[08:47] Lugh**
They were forced into
battle at a disadvantage
**[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**

**[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.

**[12:38] Dia**
It's delicious.
**[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.
**[12:52] Lugh**
You're right.
**[12:54] Lugh**
I could make a better lasagna than this.
**[12:56] Dia**
I knew it.
**[12:57] Lugh**
But eating together with you makes it taste
far better, and besides, I prefer this.
**[13:08] Lugh**
What is it?
**[13:09] Dia**
Nothing! Anyway, that doesn't make sense!
**[13:13] Lugh**
You feel differently?
**[13:14] Dia**
Of course I do! Eating with you makes
the food taste better for me, too,
**[13:19] Dia**
but I'd rather eat something
you made for us together!
**[13:25] Lugh**
Then I'll make you a lasagna next time.
**[13:28] Dia**
Huh?
**[13:29] Lugh**
I'll cook for you the next
time you're in Tuatha Dé.
**[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**
Yeah.
**[14:07] Dia**
Hey.
**[14:09] Dia**
What's wrong?
**[14:11] Rico**
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**
Dniw cigam.
**[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
to sleep using medicine.
**[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.

World preservation system administrator
number 3800, reporting to higher existence.
**[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
operatives in the world.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Goddess**
I've observed their progress and actions,
**[15:19] (Flashback) Goddess**
and calculated professions with
high chances of success.
**[15:32] (Flashback) Goddess**
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.
