    Night Twenty-Two Fight On, Hero!
[01:35] Makoto/Id
    Is that really Otonashi-senpai?
[01:41] All
    Something else is coming!
[01:43] Hibiki/Id
    First a hero cosplayer, now a skeleton?
[01:46] Shiki
    Young Master, shall we
    begin by saving the hero?
[01:49] Makoto
    Yeah.
[01:50] Makoto
    But don't say my name
    when speaking with me.
[01:53] Makoto
    They might realize who I am.
[01:55] Shiki
    Very well.
[01:57] Shiki
    Then I shall call you only "Master."
[01:59] Shiki
    Refer to me as Larva.
[02:01] Makoto
    Got it. I'll handle this.
[02:05] Io
    I don't you know who you are,
[02:07] Io
    but it seems safe to assume you're enemies.
[02:10] Hibiki
    Are you on our side?
[02:12] Makoto/Id
    This voice...
[02:13] Makoto/Id
    It really is Senpai.
    What is she doing in this world?
[02:18] Makoto/Id
    Wait, why is she dressed like that?
[02:20] Makoto/Id
    Not that I can talk.
[02:23] System Mio
    Voice changer on.
[02:26] Makoto
    I've come to save the hero according
    to an agreement with the goddess.
[02:29] Makoto
    The demons will abandon
    Fort Stella and retreat north.
[02:32] Makoto
    You should be able to use your telepathy.
[02:37] Io
    Is that armor some kind
    of ancient equipment?
[02:40] Io
    So the goddess has pawns
    we didn't know about.
[02:44] Makoto
    I have no intention of fighting demons.
[02:46] Makoto
    If you'll retreat quietly, I promise I won't
    allow the hyumans to pursue you.
[02:51] Io
    I can't do that.
    I will kill the hero Hibiki here.
[02:56] Io
    Nor will I relinquish Stella.
[02:58] Io
    Move. I won't kill you if you
    don't try to protect the hero.
[03:01] Makoto
    I can't do that.
[03:03] Makoto
    I've already received my reward up front.
[03:07] Io
    Then I will kill you and the hero.
[03:10] Io
    My name is Io. Demon Commander Io.
[03:16] Io
    Won't state your name?
[03:18] Io
    I wasn't expecting to be interrupted
    by a white warrior for a second time.
[03:23] Io
    The hero has some incredible luck.
[03:27] Io
    Let's go!
[03:30] Io
    Well, well.
[03:31] Woody
    He stopped Io's blow.
[03:33] Chiya
    Amazing.
[03:35] Makoto
    Hero of Limia, step back
    with your companions.
[03:38] Verda
    He's unbelievably strong!
[03:40] Hibiki
    Whatever you do, don't challenge
    him to a contest of strength!
[03:43] Makoto
    I'll take that into consideration.
[03:46] Io
    Not bad. However...
[03:49] Makoto
    I see. I don't have enough arms.
[03:51] Io
    Exactly!
[03:53] System Mio
    Spin Step!
[03:56] Makoto
    And you lack power!
[04:08] Makoto
    That backhand took down a dragon.
[04:10] Makoto
    Blocking it immediately was a good call.
[04:13] Io
    It scares me that that doesn't
    sound like a joke.
[04:16] Io
    Perhaps you'll entertain
    me more than Hibiki.
[04:20] Makoto/Id
    He's smiling. Scary.
[04:22] Chiya
    Who is that man in white?
[04:25] Woody
    That armor is rather tough.
[04:28] Hibiki
    But he's up against Io.
[04:30] Hibiki
    He needs our help.
[04:32] Shiki
    He does not.
[04:34] Sealy
    When did you get there?
[04:36] Shiki
    Your assistance would only get in my
    master's way against an opponent that weak.
[04:41] Verda
    "That weak"?
[04:43] Chiya
    The skeleton is talking.
[04:46] Shiki
    By the way, did you purchase that sword from
    the Kuzunoha Trading Company in Tsige?
[04:51] Hibiki
    You know that place?
[04:53] Shiki
    Yes.
[04:54] Shiki
    I once experimented with feeding wind
    spirits to monsters in the wasteland.
[04:59] Shiki
    That sword is made using materials
    from my experiments.
[05:02] Hibiki
    You did what?
[05:04] Hibiki
    Who are you?
[05:06] Shiki
    Larva.
[05:08] Shiki
    Your run-of-the-mill lich
    who likes to experiment.
[05:14] Verda
    Hibiki!
[05:15] Sealy
    Damn it! More enemies!
[05:19] Shiki
    Don't move, hero of Limia.
[05:22] Shiki
    If you leave this barrier,
    I'll kill your friends.
[05:26] Shiki
    Your friends' safety was not part
    of our agreement with the goddess.
[05:31] Shiki
    As long as the hero is safe, we don't
    care what happens to the others.
[05:35] Hibiki
    Then what do you want me to do?
[05:37] Shiki
    I shall handle them.
[05:39] Shiki
    You stay there and wait.
[05:42] Sealy
    What?
[05:43] Verda
    How dare you?!
[05:46] Woody
    You two, making more enemies
    now would be a bad move.
[05:50] Woody
    Let's allow this gentleman to handle it.
[05:52] Hibiki
    Let's see what you can do.
[05:55] Hibiki
    Larva-dono, show us your power.
[06:07] Minotaur
    Step back, lich.
[06:10] Centaur
    The hero is our prey.
[06:13] Shiki
    I know a bit about the tenacity of cattle.
[06:16] Shiki
    At home, they are troublesome
    and violent livestock.
[06:19] Minotaur
    Livestock?!
[06:21] Centaur
    Fool. How does it serve you
    to enrage us unnecessarily?
[06:26] Shiki
    Now, let's see...
[06:27] Shiki
    Horses that can't even grow
    horns are too weak for me to ride,
[06:31] Shiki
    but I'm not sure about you.
[06:35] Shiki
    To be precise, I am a former lich.
[06:38] Shiki
    Why former? Allow me to show you.
[06:41] Shiki
    Come, Thirteen Steps.
[06:45] Shiki
    Release steps one through four.
[06:48] Shiki
    Wand, Sword, Cup, Coin.
[06:55] Centaur
    What is this?
[06:57] Shiki
    You must be excited to stand
    before your superior.
[07:01] Shiki
    Try to put up a fight.
[07:07] Shiki
    Well, well. The horse evaded it.
[07:10] Shiki
    The cow... survived it.
[07:13] Centaur
    Bastard!
[07:15] Minotaur
    Damn mage!
[07:16] Shiki
    Now burn.
[07:21] Shiki
    Don't worry, it doesn't hurt.
[07:23] Shiki
    Now offer your lives to me.
[07:26] Makoto
    He's wrecking them.
[07:28] Io
    What do you think you're looking at?
[07:30] Makoto
    Whoops.
[07:32] Io
    You think this will be easy?
[07:35] Makoto
    No. I'm fighting an opponent more
    skilled than me in hand-to-hand combat.
[07:39] Makoto
    It's not easy at all.
[07:41] Io
    Yeah, right. Not a single one of my
    attacks has been effective against you.
[07:45] Makoto
    Anyway, your men died. Don't you care?
[07:49] Io
    Everyone who attacked the royal
    capital had steeled their resolve.
[07:53] Io
    Pitying their deaths would be an insult!
[07:59] Makoto
    Elemental gauntlets, huh? Wow.
[08:03] Io
    That sounded sarcastic!
[08:06] Makoto
    Just to clarify, are you
    sure you won't retreat?
[08:09] Io
    Of course. I don't intend to drag
    this fight out any further, either.
[08:14] Makoto
    I see.
[08:16] Makoto
    Larva, half-open seven.
[08:18] Shiki
    Very well.
[08:21] Io
    You're asking that lich for support?
[08:23] Makoto
    No, of course not.
    I'm having him buy time.
[08:26] Io
    So you're determined not to fight fair.
[08:29] Makoto
    My objectives are saving the hero and
    the fall of Fort Stella. That's all.
[08:34] Makoto
    I may have to fight someone in the future,
[08:38] Makoto
    so I don't feel like
    pointlessly exposing my hand.
[08:41] Io/Id
    Is he considering that he
    might have to fight a hero?
[08:46] Makoto
    Now, then...
[08:48] System Mio
    Selecting Killer Move.
[08:51] System Mio
    Firing claymores.
[08:53] Makoto
    Claymores?
[08:56] Makoto
    Huh?
[08:57] Hibiki
    I-Is that—
[09:01] Makoto/Id
    That doesn't seem right.
[09:15] Io/Id
    Tracking weapons armed
    with explosive magic?
[09:18] Io/Id
    I've never heard of such a thing.
[09:21] Makoto
    Scissorhands Knuckle!
[09:24] Io
    It pierced my hardened skin?
[09:28] Makoto
    Scissors won't work. What else is there?
[09:31] System Mio
    Select Anchor Shot?
[09:34] Makoto
    Hey, nice.
[09:37] Makoto
    Hup.
[09:39] Makoto
    Heave-ho!
[09:48] Makoto/Id
    All right. Got a good one.
[09:55] Makoto
    Huh?
[09:57] Makoto/Id
    He's regenerating at this speed?
[10:03] Io/Id
    He can fly, too?
[10:05] Makoto
    Let's see...
[10:08] System Mio
    Activating.
[10:10] Makoto
    Jet Kick!
[10:22] Makoto
    Demon Commander Io,
    it's about time you retrea—
[10:25] Makoto
    Hey!
[10:26] Io
    You monster!
[10:29] Woody
    He's already regenerated.
[10:30] Hibiki
    Larva-dono, your master is in trouble!
[10:34] Shiki
    Your advice is unnecessary.
[10:37] Shiki
    Equip and activate Seventh Step.
[10:40] Shiki
    Hell, half-open.
[10:46] Shiki
    To the city wall should do it.
[10:49] Shiki
    Go, Niffelheim.
[10:55] Hibiki
    To the city wall?
[10:56] Shiki
    I will envelop this city in a weakening fog.
[11:00] Shiki
    The master said weakening would be enough.
[11:03] Shiki
    You should thank him for that.
[11:15] Makoto
    Oh, I felt that.
[11:17] Makoto
    You mixed in some kind
    of armor-piercing jabs.
[11:21] Io
    You're unscathed after all that?
[11:24] Io
    You're a total enigma.
[11:28] Makoto
    I'm not unscathed. That hurt pretty bad.
[11:31] Makoto
    I can't believe you can move
    around that much and regenerate.
[11:38] Io
    If not for these circumstances,
    I would've liked to enjoy fighting you.
[11:43] Io
    However...
[11:54] Makoto
    What was that about?
[11:55] Makoto
    Is that how demons pump themselves up?
[11:58] Io
    No.
[11:59] Io
    I told even my soldiers who I can't
    reach telepathically to use something.
[12:04] Makoto
    What thing?
[12:05] Io
    The latent strength of living beings
    is surprisingly deep and vast.
[12:10] Io
    I learned that from the woman in
     white who was the hero's companion.
[12:15] Io
    Her name was Naval.
[12:18] Chiya
    What? Is that...
[12:20] Verda
    No way.
[12:22] Woody
    Is that a Rose Sign?
[12:26] Hibiki
    Io.
[12:30] Shiki
    Master!
[12:30] Shiki
    That is an enhancing item
    known as a Rose Sign.
[12:34] Shiki
    It grants the user tremendous strength
    in exchange for consuming their soul.
[12:40] Shiki
    Not only that, but it's been modified.
[12:44] Io
    Your knowledge is impressive, lich.
[12:46] Makoto
    You gave those to your soldiers?
[12:49] Io
    No one will return from this battle alive.
[12:51] Io
    They'll slaughter all the hyumans
    with this instant strength boost.
[12:59] Io
    Now, let's see what the improvements
    Rona made are capable of.
[13:04] Io
    You should be pleased, white-clad.
    I deem you worthy of using this on.
[13:22] Io
    I see. Incredible.
[13:26] Io
    Here comes Demon Commander Io!
[13:31] Woody
    Rose Signs?
[13:34] Woody
    If the demons outside use those, as well...
[13:37] Chiya
    We have to save the people of the city!
[13:41] Hibiki
    You're right.
[13:43] Hibiki
    Let's go!
[13:44] All
    Yeah!
[13:48] Hibiki
    What is this? A barrier?
[13:50] Woody
    Larva-dono.
[13:52] Verda
    You again, skeleton?
    Don't trap us in here!
[13:55] Sealy
    Let us out!
[13:57] Hibiki
    Larva-dono, dispel this barrier!
[13:59] Shiki
    No.
[14:01] Hibiki
    Don't be ridiculous! We're going
    to bring the city under control.
[14:05] Hibiki
    We won't allow the demons
    to slaughter the people!
[14:07] Shiki
    Don't make me say it again. My goal is—
[14:11] Hibiki
    Don't worry about me!
[14:13] Woody
    We know everything there is to know
    about the royal capital's geography.
[14:16] Verda
    We'll wipe out the demons before you know it.
[14:18] Sealy
    We won't die that easily!
[14:21] Chiya
    Please!
[14:26] Shiki
    You hyumans...
[14:31] Shiki
    In that case, try breaking through
    this barrier yourselves.
[14:36] Shiki
    It was based on a fairly powerful
    barrier known as Cocytus.
[14:42] Shiki
    If you cannot break through this,
    then who do you expect to save?
[14:46] Hibiki
    If we break through this barrier,
    you won't stop us from going into the city.
[14:51] Hibiki
    Is that right?
[14:52] Shiki
    I'll consider it.
[14:55] Shiki/Id
    Only consider it.
[14:59] All
    Hibiki...
[15:04] Hibiki/Id
    It's okay. I can do it.
[15:35] All
    Hibiki!
[15:37] Hibiki/Id
    I can keep going.
[15:39] Hibiki/Id
    I am a hero. More...
[15:43] Hibiki/Id
    I need more power.
[15:52] Hibiki
    Where am I?
[15:57] Luto
    Welcome, traveler between worlds.
[16:00] Hibiki
    Who are you?
[16:01] Luto
    I don't know how to answer that.
[16:04] Luto
    This is the only time we'll meet.
[16:06] Hibiki
    If you need something from me, it can wait.
[16:08] Hibiki
    There's something I need to do right now.
[16:11] Luto
    Don't be in such a hurry.
[16:13] Luto
    Only your consciousness is here.
[16:17] Luto
    Any time that passes in here is
    less than a moment for them.
[16:21] Hibiki
    So it's instantaneous?
[16:24] Luto
    Yes. Shall we resume our conversation?
[16:27] Luto
    Outsider from the original world
    and hero, Otonashi Hibiki.
[16:32] Hibiki
    You know who I am.
[16:34] Luto
    Of course. The other hero,
    Iwahashi Tomoki, also came here.
[16:40] Hibiki
    Him, too?
[16:41] Luto
    You've earned the right to receive
    the travelers' privilege.
[16:47] Hibiki
    Can that make me stronger?
[16:50] Luto
    That depends on you, and some abilities
    come with a price, but the answer is yes.
[16:58] Luto
    I'm going to ask you a few questions.
[17:00] Luto
    From your perspective, they'll probably
    all sound like they have no right answer.
[17:05] Luto
    Now, what color are you?
[17:15] Luto
    Thank you. I have your results, Otonashi Hibiki.
[17:20] Luto
    Your color is black.
[17:23] Hibiki
    Black?
[17:25] Luto
    Yes. It's one of the highest-ranking colors.
[17:28] Luto
    Tomoki was the same color.
[17:31] Luto
    Black can never be acquired by the gods.
[17:36] Luto
    Attack, defense, healing, support...
[17:39] Luto
    It's quicker to name what it can't do.
[17:42] Luto
    It's also known as "all colors."
[17:46] Hibiki
    All colors...
[17:48] Luto
    Now I will make you your ability.
[17:51] Luto
    Because Tomoki acquired an attack,
    you can't choose that.
[17:57] Hibiki
    In that case,
[17:59] Hibiki
    can I have an ability as broadly defined
    as one that conquers the world?
[18:03] Luto
    Of course. In that case, the cost would be
    all your mana and 80% of life in the world.
[18:12] Hibiki
    Well, that won't do.
[18:16] Hibiki
    What about the ability to dispel all spells?
[18:21] Luto
    That's no fun.
[18:24] Luto
    You could learn dispelling
    magic if you worked at it.
[18:28] Luto
    He can use it, too.
[18:30] Hibiki
    Huh?
[18:31] Hibiki
    You know him?
[18:33] Hibiki
    Did he get that cosplay suit here?
[18:37] Luto
    Nobody asked for that weird thing.
[18:41] Luto
    I know him, but I doubt he'll ever come here.
[18:47] Luto
    So, what power will you choose?
[18:55] Hibiki
    Could I use the emotions of
    others to strengthen myself?
[19:01] Luto
    Turn others' emotions into your own power?
[19:05] Luto
    I see. That's a truly heroic ability.
[19:09] Luto
    Perfect for someone as charismatic as you.
[19:12] Hibiki
    Can you or can't you make that?
[19:14] Luto
    Of course I can.
[19:17] Luto
    The cost is... a reduction of
    your maximum mana, I'd say.
[19:21] Hibiki
    That's fine.
[19:23] Luto
    In that case, Otonashi Hibiki...
[19:26] Luto
    I shall grant you this ability.
[19:31] All
    Hey, wake up!
[19:33] All
    Hibiki!
[19:34] All
    Hang in there!
[19:35] All
    Hey, Hibiki!
[19:39] Hibiki/Id
    Their feelings become...
[19:42] Hibiki/Id
    my strength!
[19:56] Shiki
    Unbelievable.
[19:58] Hibiki
    How was that?
[19:59] Hibiki
    Per our agreement,
    we're going into the city.
[20:04] Shiki
    Wait, hero of Limia!
[20:07] Shiki
    Something's coming, Master!
[20:10] Makoto
    Seriously? I have to deal with
    them under these circumstances?
[20:13] Makoto
    Larva, go with the hero!
[20:16] Shiki
    Understood.
[20:18] Io
    Your opponent is over here.
[20:20] Makoto/Id
    When I consider my future with the demons,
    I don't want to kill Io now, but...
[20:35] Makoto
    Aw, man. Are you okay with this?
[20:38] Makoto
    That attack was probably one of your allies.
[20:41] Io
    You know them?
[20:42] Io
    Then you must also understand
    that they can't be controlled.
[20:47] Makoto
    I don't doubt it.
[20:49] Makoto
    I'd like to at least weaken
    Io before they arrive.
[20:53] Makoto
    What have you got?
[20:55] System Mio
    Spell Break is effective.
[20:57] System Mio
    When a hero equal to the enemy appears,
[21:00] System Mio
    you can forcibly dispel the
    enemy's enhancements.
[21:03] Makoto
    A hero?
[21:04] Io
    Let's go!
[21:06] Makoto
    Investigative Kai.
[21:09] Makoto
    Found it.
[21:11] Makoto
    Spell Break!
[21:17] Io
    You bastard! What did you do?!
[21:21] Makoto
    I broke your Rose Sign thing.
[21:25] Makoto
    Still want to keep fighting?
[21:29] Sofia
    O dragon kings who live for an eternity.
[21:32] Makoto
    She's here.
[21:33] Sofia
    Guardians of the world opposite the goddess,
[21:35] Io
    What's she doing in the royal capital?
[21:36] Sofia
    please grant me your strength
[21:38] Sofia
    for a moment.
[21:38] Makoto/Id
