[00:09] Tinasha     Well, it is the treasury. [00:11] Tinasha     Let's decide what we're     going to take back to Farsas. [00:15] Tinasha     I'll bring any dubious items back to my tower, [00:17] Tinasha     so please separate those as well. [00:19] Group     Yes! [00:19] Sylvia     I'll do my best. [00:32] Tinasha     Huh? [00:33] Tinasha     Where have I seen this before? [00:36] Tinasha     I'll bring it back to the tower for now. SIGN    ~ Green Vines ~ SIGN    Minnedart Fortress Eastern Farsas, Bordering Yarda [02:17] Oscar     Are things the same around the eastern border? SIGN    Edgard Farsas General [02:21] Edgard     No signs of unusual movements     from neighboring nations, [02:23] Edgard     although there are minor conflicts. SIGN    Galen Farsas General [02:31] Edgard     A nearby village was attacked     by horse riders a year ago. [02:36] Edgard     We sent out soldiers as fast as we could,     but most of the townsmen were killed, [02:41] Edgard     so we brought the survivors here. [02:44] Oscar     Horse riders... [02:46] Oscar     You mean the Ito? [02:47] Edgard     Yes. [02:48] Edgard     Nomads who swiftly rush in     to plunder all they can. [02:52] Child 1     Elze! [02:54] Child 2     Elze! [02:55] Edgard     That's Elze, the village chief's widow. [02:58] Edgard     He died protecting her,     and she hasn't laughed since. [03:04] Edgard     Poor girl. [03:07] Edgard     Nowadays, she spends     all her time playing with the children. [03:12] Elze     Once upon a time, when our village     was in the grasslands, [03:17] Elze     there lived a very     beautiful girl in the village. [03:21] Elze     She had countless young suitors, but she     would not take one as her husband. [03:27] Girl     I bet there were no good men there! [03:29] Boy     Shh. [03:31] Elze     One day, the village was attacked     by evil men on horseback. [03:36] Elze     They set fire to the houses, burning     the village down to try and kill its people. [03:42] Elze     But then there appeared     a swordsman clad in blue. [03:47] Elze     He chased the evil men away     and saved the girl from being abducted. [03:53] Elze     Deeply moved, she asked     to take his hand in marriage, [03:58] Elze     but he turned her down     and left without a trace. [04:04] Elze     The end. [04:07] Boy A     The swordsman's so awesome! [04:09] Boy B     Hey! Let's have a pretend fight over there! [04:11] Boy A     Yeah! [04:12] Boy C     Me too! [04:17] Tinasha     My apologies. [04:18] Tinasha     I was curious about the story you told them. [04:22] Elze     This story is actually based on a true tale     of two hundred years ago from our village. [04:29] Elze     The blue swordsman claimed to be     the son of the girl he saved. [04:34] Tinasha     Um... [04:36] Tinasha     You mean he had come from the future? [04:40] Elze     Yes, that's right. [04:42] Elze     The blue swordsman was the child of the girl     and a nomad who abducted her back then. [04:48] Elze     He said he traveled to the past     to change his mother's misfortune. [04:54] Elze     If he changed his past,     he would cease to be born. [04:59] Elze     But knowing this, he still saved his mother. [05:03] Elze     That's how the story goes. [05:05] Elze     What would you have done? [05:09] Tinasha     If it was me... [05:13] Tinasha     I wouldn't change the past. [05:19] Oscar     You've outdone yourself. [05:21] Oscar     I wasn't sure what we'd do when I heard     they only had one room available, [05:25] Oscar     but I didn't think you'd     turn yourself into a cat. [05:28] Tinasha     Sharing a room is perfect,     since I can tell if you sneak out at night. [05:32] Oscar     You really don't trust me, huh? [05:34] Tinasha     I don't know why you think I would. [05:41] Oscar     Are you going to spend     all of tomorrow like this? [06:07] Oscar     What's wrong? [06:08] Tinasha     I synced with them! [06:10] Oscar     Synced? [06:12] Oscar     Calm down and explain yourself. [06:15] Tinasha     I fell into a deep sleep and tuned     into a matching dream frequency. [06:20] Oscar     What does that mean? [06:22] Tinasha     In this fortress, someone is broadcasting     a dream with strong emotions while asleep. [06:28] Tinasha     It's most likely someone with magical power,     who never learned to control it. [06:33] Oscar     What kind of dream was it? [06:35] Tinasha     A dream of someone they hate and can't forget. [06:43] Oscar     I hear our neighbor Yarda has been     turning into desert more and more lately. [06:47] Granfort     Yes. [06:48] Granfort     For now, there haven't been     any conspicuous movements, [06:51] Granfort     but we'll continue to keep an eye out. [06:53] Oscar     Please do. [06:55] Oscar     We should get back. [06:56] Oscar     We still need to visit all the villages. [07:09] Oscar     The Ito, huh? [07:11] Oscar     Stay still, Tinasha. [07:12] Oscar     Be a good girl. [07:18] Javi     My name is Javi. [07:20] Javi     I'm the leader of the Ito. [07:22] Javi     There's something you have that we want. [07:25] Oscar     Pretty demanding for a thief. [07:27] Oscar     I have no qualms about taking all of you out. [07:30] Javi     It's clear that your threats are empty. [07:33] Javi     Say what you will, but plundering      is our clan's way of life. [07:37] Javi     The strong take for themselves. [07:39] Javi     We take pride in our way of living! [07:45] Oscar     What do you want? [07:47] Javi     A woman. [07:49] Oscar     A woman? [07:50] Javi     The woman I failed to kidnap a year ago. [07:54] Javi     With her as the prize... [07:56] Javi     we'll have a duel on the red rock plateau! [08:01] Oscar     It's like a cage for a giant. [08:03] Javi     This land is sacred to the Ito. [08:06] Javi     It's said that a god visited     this place long ago. [08:10] Oscar     A god? [08:11] Oscar     Aetea? Or one of Aetea's children? [08:14] Javi     Neither. [08:15] Javi     The name has been lost. [08:18] Javi     A god from another land. [08:20] Oscar     Another land? [08:22] Tinasha     I sense something strange with this place. [08:25] Tinasha     I can teleport everyone,     so why don't we do this somewhere else? [08:29] Tinasha     Like the castle training grounds? [08:32] Oscar     That sounds interesting,     but our opponents won't oblige. [08:35] Oscar     We just need to hurry up and win. [08:38] Oscar     If I win this duel, I forbid you     from ever looting on Farsas land. [08:44] Oscar     You can imagine what awaits you if you do. [08:56] Oscar     Have you heard the details? [08:59] Elze     Th-That man killed my husband. [09:06] Oscar     He must be someone you hate. [09:10] Elze     I-I... [09:13] Javi     It's been a while. [09:18] Javi     I'm here for you. [09:32] Ito Man     Begin! [09:58] Oscar     This duel's over. [10:00] Oscar     Time to keep your promise. [10:06] Javi     Elze... [10:26] Tinasha     So it was her dream. [10:33] Oscar     Tinasha, can you reattach his arm? [10:36] Tinasha     No thanks. [10:38] Oscar     Then at least stop his bleeding. [10:48] Tinasha     That should do it. [11:00] Oscar     Get away from there! [11:09] Oscar     What's going on? [11:10] Tinasha     I'll teleport them. [11:15] Oscar     This isn't good. [11:16] Tinasha     We need to stop that thing. [11:18] Oscar     Yeah. [11:21] Oscar     Tinasha? [11:28] Oscar     That's... [11:45] Oscar     Tinasha! [12:07] Oscar     Are you okay, Tinasha? [12:10] Tinasha     No... [12:11] Oscar     No? [12:12] Tinasha     No, no, no! [12:14] Tinasha     I hate being wet as a cat! [12:15] Oscar     What's wrong? [12:16] Oscar     Calm down a little! [12:17] Oscar     Just turn back into a human! [12:24] Tinasha     What exactly is this place? [12:26] Oscar     I'd like to know as well. [12:30] Oscar     Are you okay? [12:31] Oscar     You looked like you weren't     feeling well earlier. [12:34] Tinasha     That was because of     outside magical interference. [12:37] Tinasha     Some sort of power from the earth     attacked the magic in my body. [12:41] Tinasha     It felt like it was digging through my insides. [12:44] Tinasha     I was too creeped out to form any spells. SIGN    Ito Sacred Grounds [12:50] Tinasha     We're directly under the Ito sacred grounds. [12:53] Tinasha     Is this their history carved into the walls? [12:57] Oscar     "Past"... [12:58] Oscar     "Magic spheres"... [13:01] Oscar     "Memories of a clan"? [13:04] Tinasha     Oscar. [13:06] Tinasha     This must be the visiting god     that attacked us earlier. [13:11] Tinasha     "The deity from the north found the devil     fiends hiding among humans and killed them." [13:17] Tinasha     "All gave thanks to the deity,     but with fear in their hearts." [13:20] Tinasha     "They made a place for it to rest," it says. [13:24] Tinasha     "Devil fiend" is a pejorative term for     mages used in the early Dark Age. [13:30] Tinasha     At the time, mages weren't treated as humans. [13:34] Tinasha     This god reacted to magic     and revealed any mages, [13:38] Tinasha     so the Ito must have found it useful. [13:41] Oscar     So they made their     sacred land its resting place? [13:43] Oscar     But what could it really be,     if it reacts to magic? [13:48] Oscar     It looked like mist, but is it a demon? [13:50] Tinasha     No, it's not. [13:52] Tinasha     That's not what this is. [13:56] Oscar     Rity...di...? [13:58] Tinasha     Before it, those with magic find themselves     affected physically and mentally. [14:04] Tinasha     Their magic runs wild     and harms those around them. [14:07] Oscar     You don't mean... [14:10] Oscar     The deity worshiped by the powerful     nation to the north of the mainland: [14:14] Oscar     Irityrdia, the one true god of Tayiri? [14:19] Tinasha     The one responsible     for the persecution of mages... [14:24] Tinasha     Oscar, could you wait here— [14:26] Oscar     No thanks. [14:27] Tinasha     Of course! [14:28] Tinasha     I figured that was the case. [14:30] Tinasha     I want to teleport you back home     against your will! [14:32] Oscar     Wait, are you going to be okay? [14:34] Oscar     Aren't you going to react like you did earlier? [14:36] Tinasha     I'll put up a defensive wall. [14:39] Tinasha     I'm not a cat this time, either. [14:41] Tinasha     You don't have Akashia,     which is why I'm worried about you. [14:47] Oscar     I'll borrow this, since it's right here. [15:00] Tinasha     Stay away. [15:02] Oscar     If you reach your limit, you can turn back. [15:13] Oscar     Elze. [15:23] Oscar     She's been possessed by Irityrdia? [15:26] Oscar     That's not good. [15:31] Oscar     Hey, that's your move? [15:42] Oscar     Not bad. [15:44] Oscar     Are you okay? [15:45] Oscar     Your face is pale. [15:46] Tinasha     It feels like I'm really seasick. [15:49] Oscar     I don't feel anything like that. [15:51] Tinasha     Half of my magic was acquired after birth,     so I'm more easily affected. [15:58] Tinasha     Whereas your magic has been sealed away. [16:01] Oscar     Sealed away? [16:03] Oscar     I'd love to hear about that,     so I'll ask you later. [16:06] Oscar     So? [16:08] Oscar     Can we do something about     Irityrdia here without killing Elze? [16:13] Tinasha     It won't be easy. [16:15] Tinasha     It's strong against magic,     so we can't drag it out. [16:17] Tinasha     That said, it's impossible to destroy     what's inside without damaging her body. [16:22] Tinasha     Perhaps that human figure carved on     the wall was a possessed human as well. [16:28] Tinasha     First, we need Akashia. [16:31] Tinasha     It seems it has the power     to annihilate even Irityrdia. [16:35] Tinasha     Oscar. [16:37] Oscar     Yeah. [16:38] Oscar     But if I slice through Elze with Akashia,     she's good as dead. [16:42] Tinasha     Yes. [16:43] Tinasha     That said, if this being escapes from here... [16:50] Javi     I can't let you kill her. [16:53] Tinasha     I understand how you feel, [16:56] Tinasha     but it would be catastrophic to let her     outside while possessed by Irityrdia. [17:01] Tinasha     Just by going near her, those with magic     will end up dead or insane. [17:06] Tinasha     If a mage goes berserk, the people     around them will be in danger, too. [17:10] Tinasha     That thing is a phenomenon     that propagates innocent deaths. [17:14] Tinasha     Do you want to repeat the mistakes of history? [17:17] Tinasha     If you can't even understand that much... [17:20] Tinasha     we can start by killing you first. [17:25] Javi     I don't care who she kills, or how many people. [17:32] Javi     Please save her. [17:38] Tinasha     If you insist. [17:43] Tinasha     If I become a threat to the world... [17:48] Tinasha     would you please kill me? [17:54] Oscar     Only if there was no way to change that fact. [18:07] Tinasha     I can keep fighting,     because that's how you are. [18:16] Tinasha     Let's get started. [18:25] Tinasha     Irityrdia. [18:27] Tinasha     I know I'm the one who has awakened you. [18:29] Tinasha     You were within an ancient seal, [18:32] Tinasha     but you reacted to my magic     and awoke, possessing that girl. [18:37] Tinasha     Face me. [18:39] Tinasha     O god who has killed and driven mad     so many, and left a blemish on history. [18:44] Tinasha     As a mage of this mainland... [18:47] Tinasha     I, the Witch of the Azure Moon,     will be your foe. [18:53] Javi     Don't leave me! [19:03] Tinasha     Come. [19:05] Oscar     Tinasha! Stop! [19:11] Oscar     Tinasha! [19:14] Tinasha     Not yet. [19:16] Oscar     What do you mean, not yet? [19:18] Oscar     I'll make you spit out that crystal ball. [19:20] Tinasha     But then it might get away. [19:26] Tinasha     It's here. [19:27] Tinasha     You've got this, right? [19:29] Oscar     I swear... [19:30] Oscar     You want me to slice your stomach open? [19:33] Tinasha     I know you can do the job     with the smallest possible wound. [19:37] Oscar     You're really asking the impossible here. [19:39] Tinasha     Could it be that you     don't have any confidence? [19:41] Oscar     Don't egg me on, idiot! [19:42] Oscar     I'm just sick of you always using me. [19:45] Oscar     Are you a cat? [19:46] Tinasha     No, I'm not. [19:53] Oscar     Fine, I'll do it. [20:01] Oscar     You're the one and only one for me. [20:08] Oscar     I'll beat it without a sweat. [20:09] Tinasha     Yes, of course. [20:13] Tinasha     Oscar. [20:14] Tinasha     For so, so long, I've wanted     to give this god a good beating. [20:20] Tinasha     So please. [20:38] Oscar     Are you okay? [20:40] Oscar     There aren't any shards left inside, are there? [20:42] Tinasha     I'd be able to tell if there were. [20:45] Tinasha     I'm fine. [20:47] Tinasha     What about the girl? [20:49] Oscar     Elze received treatment     and was left in the village ruins. [20:53] Oscar     If she feels like it,     she'll come back on her own. [20:57] Tinasha     I suppose. [21:03] Oscar     You're going to sleep in your human form? [21:06] Oscar     Have you forgotten we're sharing a room? [21:08] Tinasha     I know that you have very strong self-control. [21:11] Oscar     That'll come back to bite you someday. [21:13] Tinasha     I curl up into a ball when I'm a cat. [21:16] Tinasha     I want to stretch my limbs. [21:19] Tinasha     Let me sleep for just one hour. [21:23] Oscar     Get some proper rest. [21:32] Oscar     I'll protect you, no matter what. [21:48] Tinasha     What was that?! [21:50] Oscar     Couldn't help myself. [21:51] Tinasha     J-Just when I was about to fall asleep...
