**[00:16] Kai**
Your sword...
**[00:17] Kai**
Every time it breaks,
it regenerates, doesn't it?
**[00:21] Kai**
In a split second...
**[00:22] Kai**
Reiren's barriers worked just fine.
**[00:27] Kai**
But your sword regenerated instantly
as it broke through each one.
**[00:33] Avatar Alfreya**
This indeed is the work of heaven,
**[00:35] Avatar Alfreya**
an absolute power that cannot be
blocked by a mere magic item.
**[00:41] Avatar Alfreya**
There is no need for magic items.
**[00:43] Avatar Alfreya**
There is no need for celestials!
**[00:46] Avatar Alfreya**
Acknowledge me, the hero,
to be crowned in the heavens
**[00:49] Avatar Alfreya**
and simply be my slave.
**[00:53] Avatar Alfreya**
Divine Gift of the King's Sword!
**[00:57] Kai**
I thought the four heroes fought
to protect their people.
**[01:04] Avatar Alfreya**
The prattling of a weak race.
**[01:07] Kai**
I'll show you...
**[01:09] Kai**
the spirit we humans have built up...
**[01:13] Kai**
because of that weakness.

**[02:55] Jeanne**
Reiren, are you all right?
**[02:57] Reiren**
Of course I am.
**[02:59] Reiren**
However...
**[03:04] Avatar Alfreya**
Disappear!
**[03:10] Avatar Alfreya**
Return to dust!
**[03:21] Avatar Alfreya**
Clever bastard...
**[03:23] Jeanne**
In terms of just sword skills, is Kai better?
**[03:26] Reiren**
I think so.
**[03:28] Reiren**
Still...
**[03:30] Avatar Alfreya**
I no longer need this!
**[03:37] Avatar Alfreya**
Collapse.
**[03:55] Jeanne**
Is he about to drop the angel palace?!
**[03:59] Reiren**
Lend me your strength.
**[04:01] Reiren**
Let's defeat Alfreya!
**[04:07] Kai**
I'm not done yet!
**[04:19] Avatar Alfreya**
You fool!
**[04:23] Avatar Alfreya**
It's over... human.
**[04:28] Kai {M}**
*He's not coming to his senses...*
**[04:30] Kai {M}**
*unlike with Vanessa...*
**[04:34] Reiren**
Respond, seven princesses.
**[04:47] Reiren**
Longbow of the Moon, True Moon!
**[04:52] Reiren**
We only get one chance. Don't miss.
**[04:55] Jeanne**
Of course!
**[04:59] Jeanne**
Pierce through!
**[05:32] Avatar Alfreya**
You inferior race!
**[05:36] Kai**
Just... one more attack!
**[05:38] Avatar Alfreya**
Die!
**[05:42] Kai**
I'll turn the tables on you!
**[06:08] Alfreya**
How terrible...
**[06:11] Alfreya**
To think I would be the one
to lose his wings and fall to earth...
**[06:16] Kai**
Have you come to your senses?
**[06:19] Reiren**
Lord Alfreya!
**[06:23] Alfreya**
This place... will soon fall.
**[06:28] Alfreya**
Make haste... and get to safety.
**[06:32] Alfreya**
Reiren... I no longer...
**[06:36] Alfreya**
deserve to be... adored by you.
**[06:40] Reiren**
That's not true...
**[06:49] Alfreya**
Tell the celestials...
**[06:55] Alfreya**
that this was... all my doing.
**[07:00] Alfreya**
Reiren...
**[07:04] Kai {M}**
*It's the same as what happened to Vanessa.*
**[07:08] Alfreya**
Human...
**[07:10] Alfreya**
I... received something from Sid.
**[07:15] Alfreya**
He entrusted to me...
**[07:17] Alfreya**
these words.
**[07:21] Alfreya**
It exists... no, it was supposed to exist...
**[07:27] Alfreya**
That's what Sid told me...
**[07:30] Kai**
Supposed to exist?
**[07:33] Kai**
What was he talking about?
**[07:35] Alfreya**
I don't know. But...
**[07:38] Alfreya**
He was very frustrated.
**[07:41] Kai**
What?
**[07:42] Alfreya**
Listen, human... The cause of
the world reincarnation is...
**[07:49] Alfreya**
Hatred.
**[07:52] Alfreya**
I... acknowledge you.
**[07:58] Alfreya**
Even though you're human,
**[07:59] Alfreya**
the sight of you risking your life for an elf...
**[08:04] Alfreya**
That in itself...
**[08:08] Alfreya**
You, who touched upon the taboo code...
**[08:14] Alfreya**
Shatter... the hatred that lurks in this world!
**[08:26] Reiren**
Lord Alfreya...
**[08:44] Vicious**
Lord Alfreya...
**[08:48] Great Elder**
I see.
**[08:50] Great Elder**
I'm glad everyone is safe.
**[08:52] Raphaelo**
Still, we angels were unable to do anything
**[08:56] Raphaelo**
despite noticing the changes in our Lord.
**[08:59] Great Elder**
That goes for the elves as well.
**[09:02] Kai**
Allow me to ask one thing.
**[09:05] Kai**
When did Alfreya's behavior change?
**[09:07] Kai**
Could it be when that monster
he referred to as his subordinate,
**[09:12] Kai**
Last Riser, appeared?
**[09:15] Raphaelo**
That's right.
**[09:16] Raphaelo**
It was when that thing appeared
**[09:19] Raphaelo**
that our Lord began to grow
distant from his fellow angels.
**[09:26] Kai {M}**
*If it was the hero's subordinate,*
**[09:29] Kai {M}**
*why would it attack him?*
**[09:33] Kai {M}**
* That thing first appeared*
* when I rescued Rinne.*
**[09:38] Kai {M}**
*It was as if it were monitoring her.*
**[09:42] Kai {M}**
*Is Rinne going to be targeted again?*

**[10:05] Sid**
Rinne!
**[10:11] Sid**
Were you the ones who did this?!
**[10:18] Kai**
Rinne...
**[10:23] Rinne**
Oh, Kai!
**[10:24] Kai**
H-Hey...
**[10:27] Kai**
I'm glad you woke up.
**[10:29] Kai**
Are you okay?
**[10:31] Rinne**
Yeah...
**[10:33] Kai**
I was worried about how
long you were sleeping.
**[10:37] Rinne**
I had a dream. A scary dream.
**[10:42] Kai**
I see.
**[10:45] Jeanne**
May I intrude?
**[10:46] Rinne**
Jeannie! When did you get here?!
**[10:49] Jeanne**
I've been here this whole time.
**[10:50] Jeanne**
You only see Kai, don't you?
**[10:52] Rinne**
U-Um...
**[10:58] Jeanne**
I told you, didn't I?
**[11:00] Jeanne**
That once the fight was over,
I'd be asking about you...
**[11:04] Rinne**
Y-Yeah...
**[11:08] Jeanne**
I see...
**[11:11] Jeanne**
I was warned by Falin to be cautious,
**[11:14] Jeanne**
and I had a feeling you weren't human.
**[11:18] Jeanne**
But you don't even know what race you are, huh?
**[11:23] Rinne**
Yeah.
**[11:25] Kai**
I'm sorry for not telling you this whole time.
**[11:27] Jeanne**
Did you think that I'd burn you
at the stake if you told the truth?
**[11:32] Kai**
It would be a natural act for
a Rebel Army commander.
**[11:34] Rinne**
What?
**[11:35] Jeanne**
You're right, I would have probably
thought you were a demon spy.
**[11:38] Rinne**
What?!
**[11:40] Jeanne**
But Kai told me...
**[11:44] Jeanne**
that you challenged the hero
of the demons with him
**[11:47] Jeanne**
and you even saved me, a human.
**[11:52] Jeanne**
With achievements like that,
I really have to believe you.
**[11:57] Rinne**
Jeannie...
**[11:59] Kai**
Yeah, you have my word
that Rinne is on humanity's side.
**[12:05] Rinne**
For me... being with Kai is really all I need...
**[12:10] Rinne**
But I kind of feel happy
that you believe in me, Jeannie.
**[12:16] Jeanne**
Yes, I feel the same way.
**[12:19] Kai**
I feel like we should tell Saki and Ashran, too,
**[12:23] Kai**
but they might really be shocked.
**[12:25] Jeanne**
Yes, even if they're all right with it,
**[12:28] Jeanne**
it may cause discord
among the other soldiers.
**[12:31] Jeanne**
Therefore, I believe it'd be better to keep
this secret to ourselves a bit longer.
**[12:37] Rinne**
Okay, a secret then.
**[12:42] Jeanne**
Um... May I touch them?
**[12:47] Rinne**
Huh?
**[12:49] Jeanne**
Oh... they're so soft!
**[12:53] Rinne**
Y-Yeah...
**[12:56] Jeanne**
What's wrong?
**[12:57] Rinne**
Um... I-It tickles...
**[13:03] Jeanne**
Oh?
**[13:05] Rinne**
Ah! H-Hey, Jeannie!
**[13:11] Jeanne**
Is this the spot? Or here?!
**[13:13] Rinne**
Ah, Jeannie is being mean to me!
**[13:18] Jeanne**
I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself.
**[13:25] Great Elder**
For the next year,
**[13:27] Great Elder**
humans will not be allowed
to enter our vast forest.
**[13:32] Great Elder**
Celestials will not be allowed
to enter human cities.
**[13:36] Great Elder**
Do we have an agreement,
**[13:38] Great Elder**
Human Commander Jeanne?
**[13:41] Jeanne**
Understood.
**[13:43] Jeanne**
I'll see to it that the Io Rebel Army
abides by your terms.
**[13:48] Great Elder**
Then the truce is officially forged.
**[13:54] Great Elder**
The witnesses will be everyone
who is present here.
**[14:03] Jeanne**
What's this?
**[14:04] Great Elder**
Please take it.
**[14:12] Jeanne**
The Longbow of the Moon.
**[14:14] Jeanne**
But it was damaged. How...
**[14:17] Kai**
Are these...
**[14:19] Reiren**
They're the bullets you were
using to cancel magic.
**[14:23] Kai**
These are modified elven bullets?
**[14:26] Reiren**
Is that what they're called?
**[14:28] Reiren**
When I spoke of the kind of weapons you use,
**[14:30] Reiren**
the dwarves took interest in them
and built these right away.
**[14:35] Reiren**
By the way, I was the one
who smelted the iris ore of those bullets.
**[14:39] Reiren**
You should name them something like
"Sacred Light Elven Bullets."
**[14:43] Kai**
Real elven-made bullets, huh?
**[14:46] Kai**
Amazing.
**[14:48] Great Elder**
It is our thanks to you.
**[14:50] Great Elder**
If it hadn't been for you, the celestials
would have plunged into civil war.
**[14:57] Great Elder**
Additionally, you are planning to fight against
**[15:01] Great Elder**
the spirits to the south and the mythical
beasts to the west, aren't you?
**[15:05] Jeanne**
My apologies, but we cannot allow
other races to know of our plans.
**[15:10] Great Elder**
A wise decision.
**[15:13] Great Elder**
Either way, you will need to pass
through celestial forests and fields.
**[15:18] Great Elder**
Will you not need a guide?
**[15:22] Jeanne**
I suppose we may, however...
**[15:26] Great Elder**
I will have one of our
representatives accompany you.
**[15:31] Jeanne**
I don't understand your reasoning.
**[15:33] Jeanne**
Could you please elaborate?
**[15:36] Great Elder**
We want to know what, exactly,
happened to Lord Alfreya.
**[15:41] Great Elder**
When I think back on it,
it was then that he began to act strangely.
**[15:46] Kai**
Then?
**[15:48] Great Elder**
About ten years ago,
Lord Alfreya confronted an intruder,
**[15:54] Great Elder**
who had crossed the western border...
**[15:57] Great Elder**
The hero of the mythical beasts,
the Fang King, Rath=IE...
**[16:03] Raphaelo**
I saw them.
**[16:05] Raphaelo**
Neither had subordinates with them.
**[16:07] Raphaelo**
They confronted each other for a few hours...
**[16:11] Raphaelo**
However, that sight...
**[16:13] Raphaelo**
made it seem like they were
colluding and conspiring something.
**[16:17] Raphaelo**
It was soon after that the Last Riser
appeared at our Lord's side.
**[16:24] Jeanne**
I see.
**[16:26] Jeanne**
So you wish to aid our expedition
in return for learning the truth.
**[16:34] Reiren**
How heartless of you, Great Elder.
**[16:38] Reiren**
Whoever accompanies them
is effectively a hostage.
**[16:41] Reiren**
If anyone were to break the truce,
**[16:43] Reiren**
they would be the first to get executed.
**[16:45] Reiren**
Who would ever volunteer
to be a sacrifice like—
**[16:48] Great Elder**
You will.
**[16:49] Reiren**
Oh, I will. What a shame for— Huh?
**[16:54] Great Elder**
You will accompany them, Reiren.
**[16:57] Reiren**
Hold on a minute!
**[16:59] Reiren**
What's the meaning of this?!
I had heard nothing of this!
**[17:03] Great Elder**
That's because I've just now decided.
**[17:04] Reiren**
Why is it me?
**[17:06] Great Elder**
Because you haven't budged one step
from that human named Kai.
**[17:13] Reiren**
Wha?!
**[17:14] Rinne**
Yes! I was wondering about that, too!
**[17:17] Reiren**
N-No, you have it all wrong!
I just happened to be—
**[17:19] Rinne**
You can't try to play it off.
You're after Kai, aren't you?!
**[17:23] Reiren**
What are you talking about?!
**[17:26] Reiren**
Don't just stand there! Say something!
**[17:30] Kai**
Well, I'd be happy to have you, Reiren.
**[17:34] Reiren**
H-Hey!
**[17:35] Great Elder**
Then I'm counting on you, Reiren.
**[17:39] Reiren**
D-Don't say unreasonable things!
**[17:51] Zefven**
Make a truce with the celestials, huh?
**[17:54] Jeanne**
It comes with a one year limit,
but it's a big step forward.
**[17:59] Jeanne**
I would like to leave the rest
to the Io Rebel Army.
**[18:02] Zefven**
Of course, Jeanne.
**[18:05] Jeanne**
Dante.
**[18:07] Jeanne**
We greatly appreciate the generous
supplies you offered for our expedition.
**[18:12] Dante**
The Urza and Io Rebel Armies
failed to work together.
**[18:19] Zefven**
Your Majesty, surely that is...
**[18:23] Dante**
To defeat the hero of
the celestials and form a truce...
**[18:28] Dante**
If you just look at the result,
it's a victory for humanity.
**[18:32] Dante**
However, that means that the tactics you've
employed up until now will no longer work.
**[18:38] Dante**
Now that we've defeated
both the demon and celestial heroes,
**[18:42] Dante**
they'll no longer take us humans lightly.
**[18:45] Dante**
The spirits and the mythical beasts
will change their perception of us.
**[18:50] Dante**
They'll consider us a substantial threat.
**[18:54] Jeanne**
Precisely.
**[18:55] Dante**
To counter that, collaboration between
Rebel Armies will become essential.
**[19:01] Dante**
The commander of the Yulun Rebel Army,
**[19:03] Dante**
which fights against the spirits to the south...
**[19:08] Dante**
is the Lion King, Balmung.
**[19:12] Dante**
I've heard he's an old acquaintance
of yours and a veteran hero.
**[19:16] Dante**
Is that true?
**[19:18] Falin**
I am indebted to him.
**[19:21] Falin**
There's no doubt that he is a great commander.
**[19:25] Dante**
What you're saying is that he's a
commander you can trust, unlike me.
**[19:29] Falin**
Not at all.
**[19:35] Dante**
Surprise attack tactics will no longer
work on the other races.
**[19:38] Dante**
You're in for a head-on battle.
**[19:41] Dante**
If you truly do consider Balmung
a trustworthy commander,
**[19:44] Dante**
you'll want to establish a proper
alliance force with them.
**[19:49] Dante**
I repeat,
**[19:51] Dante**
you're going to need to change your tactics.
**[19:54] Falin**
It's unfortunate.
**[19:56] Dante**
What?
**[19:58] Falin**
Pardon my rudeness.
**[20:01] Falin**
However, I see through your situation.
**[20:05] Falin**
If you simply threw away
that little ego of yours,
**[20:07] Falin**
you could potentially
be a leader to all humanity.
**[20:11] Dante**
Enough talk. I'll leave that to you, Jeanne.
**[20:18] Jeanne**
I have no intention of taking on
such a grand role as leading humanity.
**[20:24] Jeanne**
I just want to end the War of the Five Races.
**[20:27] Jeanne**
That is my wish.
**[20:31] Dante**
Then begone already,
**[20:34] Dante**
before the spirits and mythical beasts
decide to make their move...
**[20:46] Rath=Ie**
It's been a while.
**[20:49] Rath=Ie**
You certainly arrived quickly.
**[21:00] Rath=Ie**
And to think you'd come without a subordinate...
**[21:04] Rath=Ie**
You must have really been
in a hurry to get here,
**[21:07] Rath=Ie**
hero of the spirits, Rikugen Kyoko.
**[21:13] Rath=Ie**
I wasn't expecting Vanessa
to be the very first one to fall.
**[21:18] Rath=Ie**
I suppose even that meticulous
devil can make mistakes.
**[21:22] Rath=Ie**
Don't you think?
**[21:25] Rath=Ie**
And Alfreya's ending was just disappointing.
**[21:28] Rath=Ie**
An awful way to go out.
**[21:31] Rath=Ie**
His defeat stemmed from his small-minded nature...
**[21:35] Rath=Ie**
halfheartedly resisting the Last Riser,
yet failing to control it.
**[21:39] Rath=Ie**
Four races, four heroes...
Yet only the two of us remain standing.
**[21:45] Rath=Ie**
How very, very sad it is.
**[21:48] Rikugen Kyoko**
Rath=IE, you are lying.
**[21:53] Rath=Ie**
I see.
**[21:55] Rath=Ie**
As a sage, you already
understand the situation.
**[22:01] Rath=Ie**
Right here and now,
**[22:05] Rath=Ie**
the spirit race will disappear
from the world!
