[00:06] Ifa
It's pretty late.
[00:08] Kerry
Because you took your time choosing.
[00:10] Kerry
Noine's going to be mad at us.
[00:12] Ifa
But it's hard to know
what Mr. Illig will like.
[00:15] Kerry
You should've asked Maha.
[00:18] Ifa
No, then I'd feel like I lost.
[00:20] Kerry
You're so stubborn.
[00:21] Ifa
Whatever. Let's hurry.
[00:22] Kerry
Okay.
[00:28] Ifa
What are you doing?
[00:29] Man A
Don't make a sound.
[00:31] Man A
Hand over all your money.
[00:33] Kerry
Ifa!
[00:35] Man B
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.

[03:10] Tarte
Mr. Illig.
[03:14] Tarte
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
"Lightning-Quick Battle Maiden."
[03:43] Illig
You made quite an impact.
[03:45] Tarte
Please don't call me that. It's embarrassing.
[03:50] Lugh
I've been sending Tarte into battle
so she can gain combat experience,
[03:54] Lugh
and I've been having Maha gain experience
handling information and money.
[04:00] Tarte
It's been almost two years
since we came to Milteu.
[04:03] Illig
Yeah.
[04:05] Lugh
Our days were busy,
[04:07] ---
but because of that,
I've learned about this world.
[04:12] Lugh
Illig Balor, the false identity
I use to blend in with society,
[04:15] ---
has turned his cosmetics
brand Orna into a success.
[04:18] Lugh
As a young and successful man,
he's been invited to many events.
[04:21] Lugh
Using moisturizer and chocolate,
[04:23] ---
I've made many connections and built
up a large information network.
[04:31] Illig
This life is nearly over.
[04:33] Illig
It flew by, didn't it?
[04:35] Tarte
Yes, it sure did.
[04:41] Maha
The transfer has been completed.
[04:43] Illig
Yeah. While I'm gone, you'll handle
everything related to Orna.
[04:48] Maha
I will. I've become someone who can
protect Orna even in your absence.
[04:53] Maha
No, I'll make Orna even bigger.
[04:56] Illig
I bet you will.
[04:58] Maha
I'm actually thinking about expanding
Orna's base beyond Milteu.
[05:03] Illig
To a neighboring town?
[05:05] Maha
Yes. I've found an excellent location.
[05:11] Illig
This place is...
[05:12] Maha
It used to belong to an
influential trading company.
[05:16] Maha
But they've declined since the
head of the company changed.
[05:19] Maha
They recently began selling
off their assets piece by piece.
[05:22] Maha
Now is the time to buy.
[05:24] Lugh
So that's how it is.
[05:27] Lugh
I don't plan to tell Maha,
but I've looked into her past.
[05:32] Lugh
Maha was the sole heiress
of a famous trading company.
[05:35] Lugh
But the company's right-hand
man betrayed them.
[05:38] Lugh
He murdered Maha's parents
and took over the company.
[05:43] Lugh
Left on her own, Maha sensed her life
was in danger and fled to Milteu.
[05:49] Lugh
This shop was one of the company's stores.
[05:53] Lugh
It was the first shop Maha's father opened.
[05:57] Lugh
Maha intends to reclaim her
father's company someday.
[06:01] Lugh
This store is an excellent
stepping stone toward that goal.
[06:06] Illig
Do as you like.
[06:08] Illig
I trust your abilities.
[06:11] Maha
Are you sure you don't
need to do more research?
[06:14] Illig
I won't tell you not to bring
personal affairs into our business.
[06:17] Illig
But if you're going to,
then you must achieve results.
[06:22] Maha
Yes, of course. After all,
I'm your right-hand woman.
[06:29] Maha
Thank you. I love you, Brother Illig.
[06:32] Illig
I know.
[06:35] Maha
Come in.
[06:38] Noine
Excuse me.
Assistant Manager, everyone's here.
[06:43] Maha
Brother Illig, do you have a few minutes?
[06:45] Illig
Sure, no problem.
[06:48] Noine
Girls.
[06:54] Kerry
Mr. Illig, this is a gift from us.
[06:59] Ifa
It's a rare herbal tea.
We thought you'd like it.
[07:03] Connor
It's not much, but we wanted to thank you.
[07:06] Illig
Thank me?
[07:07] Michelle
You're the only reason we're here now.
[07:11] Noine
We could never thank you enough.
[07:14] All
Thank you, Mr. Illig.
[07:18] Illig
I haven't done anything for you.
It was chance that brought us together.
[07:22] Illig
No, perhaps it was just random luck.
[07:24] Maha
Even if that's what you
believe, the fact is that
[07:28] ---
you saved us from unbearable unhappiness.
[07:33] Michelle
Please don't forget us, even after you leave.
[07:36] Noine
We'll miss you.
[07:38] Kerry
Please take care of your health.
[07:41] Ifa
We won't be able to talk to you anymore.
[07:43] Connor
We'd appreciate it if you
came to visit sometimes.
[07:51] Illig
Thank you, everyone.
[07:53] Illig
No matter where I go, I won't forget you.
[07:57] Illig
Look after Orna for me while I'm gone.
[08:00] All
Yes, sir.

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