[01:30] Makoto
    Sofia Bulga.
[01:32] Sofia
    That's right. I'm honored you remember me.
[01:35] Makoto
    So you're alive after all.
[01:37] Makoto
    I was sort of hoping that
    sorcerer had killed you.
[01:43] Sofia/Id
    He hasn't realized he's the sorcerer?
[01:47] Makoto
    What?
[01:49] Sofia
    Nothing. I'm glad we met again.
[01:52] Sofia
    If you can withstand my attacks,
[01:55] Sofia
    you're far stronger than the empire's hero.
[01:59] Makoto
    You killed the empire's hero?
[02:01] Sofia
    No, not yet.
[02:03] Sofia
    He showed me something interesting,
    so I allowed him to live.
[02:08] Makoto
    In that case, could you leave now?
[02:11] Makoto
    It sounds like I've managed to amuse you.
[02:13] Sofia
    I can't do that.
[02:16] Sofia
    Mitsurugi and I think you're
    a massive obstacle.
[02:21] Sofia
    Today, I'm going to slice you to bits.
[02:25] Makoto/Id
    I'll have to focus far harder
    with her than I did with Io.
[02:31] Rona
    You two, stop!
[02:33] Sofia
    Oh?
[02:34] Io
    Rona? What are you doing here?
[02:36] Rona
    Sofia, and...
[02:39] Rona
    Huh? Kuzunoha?
[02:40] Io
    What? This man is Kuzunoha?
[02:43] Sofia
    So you know Rona, too?
[02:46] Sofia
    I knew something seemed off.
[02:49] Sofia
    Since when have you been able to speak?
[02:52] Makoto
    Common? Since just now.
[02:54] Rona
    What is the meaning of this, Kuzunoha?
[02:57] Rona
    You're supposed to be in Rotsgard.
[02:59] Makoto
    Well...
[03:01] Io
    He made a deal with the goddess.
[03:03] Io
    He's trying to save the kingdom's
    hero and bring down Fort Stella.
[03:07] Sofia
    So you're a pawn of the goddess after all.
[03:10] Makoto
    I just made a deal with her.
    I'm not her pawn.
[03:15] Rona
    I'm disappointed, Kuzunoha.
[03:18] Rona
    You don't discriminate against
    demihumans or demons.
[03:21] Rona
    I was even considering an audience
    with the demon king for you.
[03:24] Makoto
    I don't recall saying I'd side with the demons.
[03:27] Makoto
    I only did what you did in Rotsgard, Rona.
[03:31] Rona
    "Rona," huh? Until recently, it was "Rona-san."
[03:38] Rona
    I thought you'd be thanking me for Rotsgard,
[03:42] Rona
    since you didn't seem too
    attached to hyumans.
[03:45] Rona
    I believe the incident helped your business.
[03:50] Makoto
    Mind your own business.
    I cleaned up the city.
[03:54] Rona
    Yes, I've heard.
[03:56] Makoto
    Haven't the demons left the city?
[04:00] Rona
    Yes, the demons did.
[04:02] Makoto/Id
    I see. Demihumans.
[04:04] (Flashback) Eris
    There's probably some kind of mastermind 
    where all the luxurious houses are.
[04:10] Makoto/Id
    There are demihumans in that city who
    hate hyumans and would help the demons.
[04:15] Rona
    Why don't we make another deal?
[04:19] Rona
    I'll assist your business in demon lands.
[04:23] Rona
    In exchange, leave this place.
[04:25] Makoto
    No, thanks. You go back to your
    base with Io and the demons.
[04:31] Makoto
    Order your forces to leave Fort Stella, too.
[04:34] Rona
    You think you'll survive a
    fight against Sofia and Io?
[04:38] Makoto
    Don't worry about me.
[04:40] Makoto
    In fact, why don't you join the fight?
[04:44] Io
    Rona, that's not just his pride speaking.
[04:47] Io
    Even with a Rose Sign, I couldn't defeat him.
[04:51] Rona
    A Rose Sign? Io, why did you use one of those?
[04:56] Io
    I couldn't let only my men use theirs.
[04:59] Io
    If it means killing the hero here,
[05:01] Io
    I don't mind stepping aside
    to make way for new blood.
[05:03] Rona
    Don't say that like it's nothing!
[05:06] Rona
    Though we may express our
    loyalty differently,
[05:09] Rona
    I still recognize your greatness!
[05:12] Io
    R-Right... Sorry.
[05:14] Rona
    So, how much time do you have left?
[05:16] Io
    Actually, Kuzunoha destroyed
    it while I was activating it.
[05:21] Rona
    Huh?
[05:22] Io
    I don't know what he did,
    but my death isn't guaranteed.
[05:27] Rona
    You should've mentioned that first!
    You confused me!
[05:35] Sofia
    Io didn't stand a chance even though
    he was willing to pay with his life?
[05:40] Sofia
    I might have to fight at
    full strength to win.
[05:43] Io
    The full strength of the Dragonslayer...
[05:46] Rona
    I wouldn't want to get caught up in that.
[05:49] Makoto
    Same.
[05:50] Sofia
    Come on, don't say that.
[05:53] Sofia
    You deserve to witness my full strength.
[05:57] Sofia
    Oh, right. Rona, regarding
    the incident at Star Lake...
[06:01] Sofia
    I just remembered the sorcerer's name.
[06:04] Rona
    Where did this come from?
[06:07] Sofia
    Let's resume our battle,
    Kuzunoha the Sorcerer!
[06:13] Makoto/Id
    Huh? The sorcerer?
[06:16] Makoto/Id
    That was me?!
[06:22] Makoto/Id
    She vanished? I don't know where
    she'll attack from, but...
[06:28] Sofia
    What's this?
[06:31] Rona
    Wh-What is that?
[06:34] Makoto
    When we last fought, I had a painful
    experience with your surprise attack.
[06:42] Makoto
    So I've gotten stronger, too.
[06:47] Makoto/Id
    Dark? She can use more elements now?
[06:54] Makoto
    What's the matter?
    Your attack didn't reach me.
[06:57] Sofia
    Dark magic aside,
[06:59] Sofia
    I can't believe you blocked both my blade
    dragon's sword and fire dragon's flame.
[07:03] Makoto
    Were you proud of those attacks?
    Why don't you try them again?
[07:07] Sofia
    In that case...
[07:08] Sofia
    Maybe I will!
[07:13] Io
    So that's his actual armor?
[07:16] Rona
    Is it made of mana? I don't believe it.
[07:20] Makoto
    It can easily withstand even
    the Dragonslayer's full might.
[07:24] Makoto
    That makes me confident in its strength.
[07:26] Sofia
    Kuzunoha, you're an expert
    in defensive skills, too?
[07:31] Makoto
    Yeah. I guess you could call
    it mana's physical form.
[07:35] Sofia
    Mana's physical form?
[07:37] Sofia
    I've never heard of that.
[07:39] Makoto/Id
    I don't doubt it.
[07:41] Makoto
    Now it's my turn.
[07:50] Luto
    Incredible. This is what people
    from other worlds can do.
[07:54] Luto
    This is what humans are capable of.
[07:57] Luto
    This is why I can't stay away from them.
[08:01] Luto
    Sofia the Dragonslayer is
    doing a pretty good job,
[08:05] Luto
    though I doubt she has any idea
    she's being used as a camera.
[08:09] Luto
    One of alchemy's greatest secrets is
    the creation of a philosopher's stone.
[08:14] Luto
    If it's truly pure,
    it could be a genuine elixir.
[08:19] Luto
    Materia prima mana.
[08:23] Luto
    When Makoto-kun said he wanted
    to increase his mana output,
[08:26] Luto
    I never imagined he'd do
    it in such a crazy way.
[08:30] (Flashback) Luto
    You have far more mana than me,
    and yet you still want more?
[08:37] (Flashback) Makoto
    No, no. I want to increase the amount
    of mana I can expend at once.
[08:41] (Flashback) Makoto
    My, uh... output, I guess?
[08:43] (Flashback) Makoto
    Right now, I feel like
    I'm really inefficient.
[08:46] (Flashback) Luto
    Listen, in most cases, there isn't anything
    people can do to increase their own mana.
[08:52] (Flashback) Makoto
    But my maximum mana seems
    to have increased.
[08:56] Luto
    How much mana would one need to shape it
    into a physical object around their body?
[09:03] Luto
    It's both absurdly ridiculous and absurdly
    amazing. A tremendous achievement.
[09:09] Luto
    Makoto-kun, you are the very thing
    I imagined and longed to create.
[09:18] Luto
    Oh, how I ache for you.
[09:20] Luto
    You're so enchanting,
    I might lose my mind.
[09:28] Sofia
    You're not that fast, I see.
[09:33] Makoto
    I'm not a master warrior, after all.
[09:37] Makoto
    Anyway, you're rather powerful.
[09:40] Makoto
    Did you borrow strength from greater
    dragons other than Lancer?
[09:44] Makoto/Id
    She teleported again?
[09:46] Makoto/Id
    It's not Lancer's sword
    that's moving around.
[09:48] Makoto/Id
    Is this the power of the shadow dragon?
[09:53] Makoto/Id
    A long-range attack?
[10:02] Makoto
    Huh. It's like a laser.
[10:05] Sofia
    That didn't work, either?
[10:07] Sofia
    But Akari, the greater dragon of flame,
[10:11] Sofia
    has the greatest offensive
    power of all dragons.
[10:13] Makoto
    You keep using greater dragon
    abilities one after another.
[10:17] Makoto
    I don't remember doing anything
    to piss off the dragons.
[10:20] Sofia
    Don't worry. Nobody hates you, Kuzunoha.
[10:31] Makoto
    Oh, You blocked that attack, huh?
[10:34] Makoto
    Then how about this?
[10:38] Sofia
    That armor's not just for defense?
[10:46] Makoto/Id
    Investigative Kai.
[10:49] Makoto/Id
    There she is.
[10:53] Rona
    They turned?
[11:09] Makoto
    Io, relax your posture.
[11:13] Makoto
    If you interfere,
    I'll deal with you accordingly.
[11:17] Io
    As far as I'm concerned,
    I'm still fighting you.
[11:22] Makoto
    Oh, yeah? I can't say I recommend that.
[11:26] Sofia
    Come to think of it, you're skilled
    at locating enemies, aren't you?
[11:31] Makoto
    You've learned to regenerate, too?
[11:35] Makoto
    But you must be struggling.
    Why don't we end this soon?
[11:39] Sofia
    Four greater dragons.
[11:43] Sofia
    Not just Mitsurugi—Bakufu.
[11:47] Sofia
    Since you left me floating
    in the lake after our battle,
[11:50] Sofia
    I consumed Akari and Yomatoi.
[11:52] Makoto
    You consumed them?
    You didn't gain their cooperation?
[11:57] Sofia
    I have the ability to consume the
    power of dragons and make it my own.
[12:00] Sofia
    I'm strong enough to destroy nations now.
[12:04] Makoto/Id
    She's exaggerating.
[12:06] Makoto/Id
    Or is this world weaker than I thought?
[12:09] Sofia
    Once I consume Sazanami and Muteki,
    I should be able to defeat Banshoku.
[12:16] Makoto/Id
    Banshoku? So her real target is Luto.
[12:31] Sofia
    I didn't want to embarrass myself
    by having to show my scales.
[12:37] Sofia
    This is your fault, too. Prepare yourself.
[12:39] Makoto
    A transformation?
[12:41] Makoto
    I still don't think you
    can defeat Shin or Luto.
[12:46] Sofia
    Shin and Luto?
[12:49] Sofia
    Sounds like there's more I'll
    need to make you tell me.
[12:53] Sofia
    Shin the Invincible aside,
[12:55] Sofia
    few know the name of the greater
    dragon known as Banshoku.
[12:58] Makoto
    Really? We've been sharing
    a lot of meals together lately.
[13:03] Sofia
    There's no limit to your insolence!
[13:12] Makoto/Id
    Huh. She selectively weakened
    part of my mana matter.
[13:20] Io
    Kuzunoha, no hard feelings!
[13:22] Makoto/Id
    Io's attacking now, too?
[13:25] Io
    Wh-What?
[13:27] Makoto
    Its humanoid form doesn't necessarily
    mean it only has two arms.
[13:31] Makoto
    You have four, don't you?
[13:33] Makoto
    This isn't a suggestion, but a warning.
[13:36] Makoto
    If you come back, Io, I'll kill you.
[13:44] Makoto
    Rocket Punch! Just kidding.
[13:47] Makoto/Id
    Single shooting star,
[13:48] Makoto/Id
    Racing across the night sky—
[13:50] Makoto/Id
    It's the commander.
[13:52] Makoto/Id
    It would've been a shame to kill him.
[13:55] Makoto/Id
    Now that he's out of Fort Stella,
    there shouldn't be a problem.
[14:00] Sofia
    Where do you think you're looking?!
[14:10] Makoto/Id
    I never said I couldn't rebuild it.
[14:18] Makoto
    Let's see how durable that form is.
[14:29] Makoto
    Huh. Even you scream like a
    normal person sometimes.
[14:34] Sofia
    I'll kill you.
[14:37] Sofia
    I'll kill you!
[14:50] Hibiki
    All clear! I've slain every demon I could see!
[14:54] Verda
    We've got a little left to go!
[14:55] Verda
    We're struggling with the demons
    equipped with Rose Signs!
[14:57] Sealy
    Damn it! You'll pay for hurting my friends!
[15:05] Chiya
    Watch out for the mist.
[15:07] Chiya
    Touching it will weaken us, too.
[15:10] Woody
    Anyway, there are fewer than we expected.
[15:13] Woody
    Perhaps they've already
    received orders to withdraw.
[15:18] Shiki
    Prepare yourselves. Something's coming.
[15:29] Shiki
    A sword of light? It's him.
[15:32] Hibiki
    Is everyone all right?
[15:34] Chiya
    Woody-san is injured!
[15:36] Woody
    I-I'm sorry. I was struck
    by a stray projectile.
[15:41] Hibiki
    C-Cast a healing spell right away.
[15:43] Chiya
    Okay.
[15:50] Verda
    Wh-What is that?
[15:52] Sealy
    A new enemy now?
[15:55] Hibiki
    A dragon?
[15:56] Sealy
    N-No big deal.
[15:58] Sealy
    We've seen more impressive
    creatures in Tsige.
[16:07] Lancer
    A lich?
[16:08] Lancer
    You don't seem to be on the demons' side.
[16:12] Lancer
    I'll let you go. Begone.
[16:15] Shiki
    Greater dragon Lancer,
    also known as Mitsurugi.
[16:18] Shiki
    I didn't think we'd meet.
[16:21] Lancer
    Why are you standing like that?
[16:23] Shiki
    My name is Larva. I serve the sorcerer.
[16:27] Hibiki/Id
    The sorcerer?
[16:28] Lancer
    The sorcerer? That bastard has followers?
[16:35] Shiki
    Well, that makes things easier.
    Shall we begin?
[16:49] Makoto
    Now it's my turn.
[16:54] Rona/Id
    His mana matter is strong, but my trump
    card has a good match-up against it.
[16:59] Rona/Id
    I can expect Sofia to assist me, too.
[17:02] Makoto
    Rona, I don't know what you're planning,
[17:05] Makoto
    but if you keep casting your
    spell, I'll destroy you.
[17:12] Rona/Id
    The last time we spoke,
    I thought he was naïve,
[17:16] Rona/Id
    but now he's like a different person.
[17:18] Rona/Id
    What happened to him?
[17:20] Rona
    I-I was just kidding, Kuzunoha.
[17:23] Rona
    Leave the hero and Fort Stella alone, was it?
[17:27] Rona
    Very well. I accept your demands.
[17:30] Makoto
    What are your terms?
[17:31] Rona
    I don't have any conditions.
[17:33] Rona
    And I wasn't lying when I said I'd like
    you to meet the demon king someday.
[17:37] Makoto
    I see. I'll consider it.
[17:39] Rona
    Sofia is a guest commander,
    but she's not leading any forces.
[17:43] Rona
    You don't mind if I leave her behind, do you?
[17:45] Makoto
    I can't guarantee her safety.
[17:47] Rona
    I know. No matter what happens,
    I'll accept it as a consequence of battle.
[17:52] Makoto
    Then you can go.
[17:54] Makoto
    And don't bother messing with the hero.
[17:58] Makoto
    Shiki is outside.
[18:00] Rona
    I'm not that stupid. Excuse me.
[18:03] Rona/Id
    He's terrifying. I see why
    they call him the sorcerer.
[18:17] Makoto
    Her sword and hand are stuck together?
[18:20] Sofia
    This blade is a crystallization
    of Mitsurugi's power.
[18:24] Sofia
    The more I unleash the dragon's power,
    the closer I come to fusing with it.
[18:29] Makoto
    Why don't you stick to playing your hand
    little by little against weaker opponents?
[18:35] Makoto
    Do you think I won't kill you?
[18:38] Sofia
    I'm not young and naïve enough to
    think I won't be killed in battle.
[18:43] Sofia
    Anyway, aren't your individual attacks
    weaker than the empire's hero's?
[18:48] Makoto
    Are they? I've never met the empire's hero,
[18:52] Makoto
    but there's no need to pass
    judgment based on a single attack.
[18:54] Makoto
    I can afford to play my cards one at a time.
[18:57] Sofia
    Sarcasm?
[18:59] Sofia
    At least he was more charming than you.
[19:03] Sofia
    A single one of his attacks was incredible.
[19:06] Sofia
    He couldn't force me to transform,
    but he was stronger than you.
[19:10] Makoto
    Aren't you contradicting yourself?
[19:12] Sofia
    He cares for his friends and is prepared
    to give his life to achieve his goals.
[19:19] Sofia
    If I had to work with someone...
[19:21] Makoto
    I see. He certainly is impressive.
[19:26] Makoto
    He even managed to charm someone like you.
[19:34] Makoto
    You didn't notice?
[19:35] Makoto
    Looks like you failed to
    resist him completely.
[19:39] Sofia
    I've been charmed by the empire's hero?
[19:43] Makoto
    You said you spared his life, but are you
    sure you're not actually fond of him?
[19:51] Makoto
    I feel sorry for you.
[19:53] Makoto
    Before this ends, would you like
    me to dispel the charm on you?
[19:56] Sofia
    Shut up.
[19:58] Makoto
    I won't try to catch you off-guard.
[20:00] Makoto
    I don't mind dispelling a charm for free.
[20:03] Sofia
    I said shut up.
[20:05] Makoto
    Are you sure? I don't think
    there's anything else you can do.
[20:09] Sofia
    Shut your mouth!
[20:15] Makoto/Id
    High-speed movement?
[20:19] Makoto/Id
    So she still had this left?
[20:21] Makoto/Id
    She's got a lot of options at her disposal.
[20:23] Makoto/Id
    But she's not that fast.
[20:33] Makoto
    It's time to actually end this.
[20:37] Sofia
    If Mitsurugi...
    If Mitsurugi would show up, you...
[20:43] Makoto
    Sorry, but that's not happening.
[20:46] Makoto
    You have the power of several greater dragons,
    and this is still all you can do, right?
[20:51] Makoto
    My Shiki is far stronger than Lancer.
[20:59] Shiki
    Burn.
[21:05] Hibiki
    Larva-dono!
[21:07] Verda
    Don't!
[21:08] Verda
    The mist is too thick over there.
[21:14] Lancer
    It seems you really are a
    follower of the sorcerer.
[21:18] Lancer
    Honestly, liches are all bark and no bite.
[21:24] Lancer
    It seems you haven't lost your will
    to fight, but we met too late.
[21:29] Lancer
    Playtime is over.
    I must return to Sofia quickly.
[21:35] Lancer
    Honestly, I'm hoping to use this
    opportunity to kill the sorcerer.
[21:40] Lancer
    It was only temporary, but I owe
    him for tearing off my leg.
[21:44] Shiki
    So you wish to kill him?
[21:46] Shiki
    I could say the same thing, Lancer.
[21:49] Lancer
    What?
[21:50] Shiki
    You will pay for injuring my master.
