**[00:01] (Flashback) Alfreya {Flashback}**
I... received something from Sid.
**[00:06] (Flashback) Alfreya {Flashback}**
He entrusted to me...
**[00:08] (Flashback) Alfreya {Flashback}**
these words.
**[00:12] (Flashback) Alfreya {Flashback}**
It exists... no, it was supposed to exist...
**[00:18] (Flashback) Kai {Flashback}**
Supposed to exist?
**[00:20] (Flashback) Kai {Flashback}**
What was he talking about?
**[00:25] (Flashback) Alfreya {Flashback}**
You, who touched upon the taboo code...
**[00:30] (Flashback) Alfreya {Flashback}**
Shatter... the hatred
that lurks in this world!
**[00:41] (Flashback) Jeanne {Flashback}**
I just want to end the War of the Five Races.
**[00:44] (Flashback) Jeanne {Flashback}**
That is my wish.
**[00:47] (Flashback) Dante {Flashback}**
Then begone already,
**[00:49] (Flashback) Dante {Flashback}**
before the spirits and mythical beasts
decide to make their move...
**[00:53] (Flashback) Rikugen Kyoko {Flashback}**
Rath=IE, you are lying.
**[00:58] (Flashback) Rath=Ie**
I see.
**[00:59] (Flashback) Rath=Ie**
As a sage, you already
understand the situation.
**[01:06] (Flashback) Rath=Ie**
Right here and now,
**[01:09] (Flashback) Rath=Ie**
the spirit race will disappear from the world!
***SIGN*** Why Does Nobody
Remember Me in This World?
**[03:09] Rikugen Kyoko**
Universal Mirroring: Ocean.
**[03:48] Rikugen Kyoko**
You're...
**[03:58] Rath=Ie**
Good girl, Last Riser.
**[04:08] Kai**
This road sure is wide.
**[04:10] Reiren**
It's the road
the Okerachuchupurin use, after all.
**[04:23] Kai**
Okera-what now?
**[04:25] Reiren**
The Okerachuchupurin. They're huge hedgehogs.
**[04:30] Reiren**
They're about 10 meters wide.
**[04:32] Reiren**
They rarely appear, but they could roll over
a car and crush it to pieces if they did.
**[04:36] Saki And Ashran**
What?!
**[04:37] Ashran**
H-Hold on!
**[04:39] Ashran**
So what happens to us if one appears?!
**[04:42] Reiren**
Like I said, it'd crush us into pieces.
**[04:44] Saki**
Are you sure we should be using this road?!
**[04:47] Reiren**
If we're heading south,
this is the fastest way.
**[04:52] Rinne**
I'm still not okay with this.
**[04:54] Rinne**
Why is Reiren sitting next to Kai?!
**[04:57] Reiren**
I'm giving directions,
so it can't be helped. Right, Kai?
**[05:01] Kai**
Well, yeah. We're calling Reiren a professor
from the Io Federation, after all.
**[05:07] Saki**
Um, wouldn't it cause a big
commotion if the others found out
**[05:11] Saki**
that an elf is accompanying us?
**[05:13] Saki**
Wouldn't her ears be a dead giveaway?
**[05:17] Reiren**
My garment has cognitive
inhibition magic embedded in it.
**[05:22] Reiren**
Those unaware of my identity would
think I'm a normal human being.
**[05:29] Reiren**
It just means I'm
much more skilled than you are.
**[05:35] Rinne**
Y-You just want to be next to Kai, that's all!
**[05:38] Reiren**
L-Like I've said before, you have it all wrong!
**[05:41] Rinne {Overlap}**
I'm super sure of it!
**[05:43] Kai**
Both of you, please settle down...
**[05:46] Jeanne**
*Status update.*
**[05:47] Jeanne**
*Vehicle units, are there any abnormalities?*
**[05:50] Kai**
Lead vehicle reporting. No changes here.
**[05:53] Jeanne**
*Glad to hear.*
**[05:54] Jeanne**
* Professor Reiren, could you tell us how much*
* farther it is to the Yulun Federation?*
**[06:00] Reiren**
If we keep this pace, I'd say we'll
get there in three days and three nights.
**[06:06] Jeanne**
* I see. I'm relieved to hear*
* things seem to be going as planned.*
**[06:10] Jeanne**
Are there any places ahead
where we can set up camp?
**[06:14] Reiren**
* Hmm... If we go for half a day,*
* there is a place with many springs.*
**[06:19] Jeanne**
I see, then let us head there.
**[06:22] Falin**
Jeanne-sama.
**[06:23] Jeanne**
What is it?
**[06:24] Falin**
Over there.
**[06:28] Jeanne**
It's as if something has eaten away at it.
**[06:32] Falin**
I presume it's mythical beasts.
**[06:34] Jeanne**
But we're still in Io Federation territory.
**[06:44] Jeanne**
Then we should assume that
the mythical beasts have started
**[06:49] Jeanne**
crossing the borders to invade.
**[06:57] Rath=Ie**
You certainly splattered
everywhere, Rikugen Kyoko.
**[07:05] Rath=Ie**
I'm not seeing enough of you here, though.
**[07:07] Rath=Ie**
Did you really escape as just your core?
**[07:11] Rath=Ie**
I suppose it's possible
**[07:12] Rath=Ie**
for the hero of the spirits.
**[07:18] Rath=Ie**
Are you seriously heading to that place?
**[07:22] Rath=Ie**
How strange.
**[07:24] Rath=Ie**
Even if she is a hero,
she shouldn't have been able to notice it.
**[07:31] Rath=Ie**
Ah, whatever. There'll be
other chances soon enough.
**[07:37] Rath=Ie**
If those who have touched upon
the taboo code are the center of the world...
**[07:43] Rath=Ie**
I wonder what kind of path they'll choose?
**[08:01] Ashran**
This spring is amazing.
It's so warm and relaxing.
**[08:06] Kai**
Yeah, it's warmed beneath the ground
and is said to heal wounds.
**[08:18] Saki**
Um... Is it really all right for us
to be allowed to rest first?
**[08:24] Falin**
Of course, you've earned it.
**[08:27] Falin**
You aided in defeating
the hero of the celestials.
**[08:33] Ashran**
Good job, here.
**[08:35] Kai**
Yeah, appreciate it.
**[08:37] Ashran**
It must be hard being Jeanne-sama's bodyguard.
**[08:40] Kai**
Yeah, I guess.
**[08:48] Kai**
It can't be helped, considering
we can't let anyone see, but...
**[08:52] Kai**
I wonder if those three are doing all right...
**[08:59] Reiren**
Hmm, your wounds are healing.
**[09:02] Reiren**
You should fully recover in no time.
**[09:05] Jeanne**
I see. I appreciate you healing me, Reiren.
**[09:23] Reiren**
It seems you heal rather fast, too.
**[09:26] Reiren**
You really are a mystery.
**[09:29] Reiren**
Still...
**[09:33] Reiren**
you certainly are obscene.
**[09:35] Rinne**
Huh?!
**[09:36] Reiren**
You have a needless abundance of
chest and butt, like a succubus.
**[09:40] Rinne**
I-I'm not obscene!
**[09:42] Rinne**
You're the one that's too flat!
**[09:44] Reiren**
F-Flat?!
**[09:46] Reiren**
An elf's body is made perfectly
with no wasted proportions!
**[09:54] Jeanne**
Could you two listen a little?
**[09:58] Jeanne**
I've previously spoken
to Kai about this, but...
**[10:04] (Flashback) Jeanne**
World reincarnation, and the code holder...
**[10:07] (Flashback) Kai**
Yeah... To be honest, I don't
understand most of it myself.
**[10:14] (Flashback) Jeanne**
I see...
**[10:17] (Flashback) Jeanne**
At the very least,
**[10:18] (Flashback) Jeanne**
we know that your weapon was not
made by human hands.
**[10:22] (Flashback) Jeanne**
It might be dangerous to keep using it.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Jeanne**
Well, I'm not one to talk, I suppose.
**[10:29] (Flashback) Kai**
Seriously. You really push
yourself too much, you know...
**[10:34] (Flashback) Kai**
Sacrificing your life energy
to use elf magic items.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Jeanne**
I know. But I have no intention
of changing my mind.
**[10:41] (Flashback) Jeanne**
No matter what anyone says.
**[10:43] (Flashback) Kai**
Yeah, I know.
**[10:45] (Flashback) Kai**
You've been stubborn
ever since you were a kid, Jeanne.
**[10:49] (Flashback) Jeanne**
As I've mentioned before,
**[10:50] (Flashback) Kai**
I don't care where you've come from
or whether your story is true.
**[10:55] (Flashback) Jeanne**
Whether you're beneficial
to us in our fight or not...
**[10:58] (Flashback) Jeanne**
That's all that matters.
**[11:00] (Flashback) Kai**
I know. It's a natural opinion for
a Rebel Army Commander.
**[11:05] (Flashback) Jeanne**
Furthermore, what we need
to think about is that monster.
**[11:10] (Flashback) Jeanne**
The Last Riser...
**[11:12] (Flashback) Jeanne**
It gave Alfreya a mortal wound,
**[11:15] (Flashback) Jeanne**
and even appeared when you
fought Vanessa, right?
**[11:19] (Flashback) Kai**
Yeah, but there were no records
of that monster even in my world.
**[11:25] (Flashback) Jeanne**
Horrifying to hear.
**[11:28] (Flashback) Kai**
From what I've observed...
**[11:31] (Flashback) Kai**
I think the Last Riser
is monitoring the heroes.
**[11:35] (Flashback) Kai**
And what triggers it to go from monitoring
to assault mode is probably... "Sid."
**[11:42] (Flashback) Kai**
The name of the hero of the humans
that doesn't exist in this world.
**[11:46] (Flashback) Jeanne**
I wonder what kind of relationship
the Last Riser has with the remaining heroes.
**[11:51] (Flashback) Kai**
Yeah, I wonder.
**[11:53] (Flashback) Kai**
Are they subservient, or are they hostile...
**[11:57] (Flashback) Kai**
Or perhaps...
**[12:00] (Flashback) Jeanne**
Either way, all we can do is keep facing them...
**[12:04] (Flashback) Jeanne**
To end the Great War
of the Five Races.
**[12:07] (Flashback) Kai**
Yeah.
**[12:11] Reiren**
That's true. The monster that
suddenly changed Lord Alfreya...
**[12:16] Reiren**
We don't know much about it.
**[12:19] Jeanne**
From now on, when we fight a hero,
we need to stay alert for the Last Riser as well.
**[12:27] Rinne**
I'm... scared of it.
**[12:31] Rinne**
I'm not sure why, but...
**[12:33] Rinne**
when I look at it, my legs give out.
**[12:37] Rinne**
I become scared, and paralyzed, and...
**[12:46] Jeanne**
I didn't mean to frighten you. I'm sorry.
**[12:49] Rinne**
It's okay.
**[12:53] Jeanne**
What was that?!
***SIGN*** Why Does Nobody

***SIGN*** Why Does Nobody

**[13:03] Soldiers**
Get ready over here!
**[13:05] Soldiers**
Make the call!
**[13:32] Kai**
It's a mythical beast... a behemoth!
**[13:43] Kai**
Take this!
**[13:53] Falin**
Let's go. Follow my lead.
**[13:55] Kai**
All right...
**[14:14] Falin**
Kai, watch out!
**[14:23] Falin**
All personnel, temporary retreat!
**[14:28] Kai**
The modified drake bullet
didn't work on it...
**[14:31] Kai**
Could it be...
**[14:33] Kai**
it's stronger than
the mythical beasts I know?
**[14:37] Jeanne**
Group eight, group nine,
rescue the injured.
**[14:40] Jeanne**
Group 12, retreat and start
preparing a relief base.
**[14:45] Falin**
Jeanne-sama!
**[14:48] Falin**
It's a mythical beast.
**[14:49] Falin**
It's probably the one that
left those marks earlier today.
**[14:53] Reiren**
How can that be?
**[14:55] Reiren**
We're still in celestial territory.
**[14:58] Jeanne**
Just watching us... no, reconnaissance?
**[15:02] Kai**
Jeanne, an autocannon won't do.
**[15:05] Kai**
For a mythical beast that size,
you need to use something stronger.
**[15:09] Falin**
We don't have anything bigger.
**[15:11] Falin**
We weren't expecting to fight mythical
beasts, so it can't be helped, but...
**[15:16] Falin**
We'll buy some time.
**[15:18] Falin**
Jeanne-sama, please take the rest
of the soldiers and retreat.
**[15:24] Jeanne**
Kai, how do we defeat that thing?
**[15:28] Kai**
Jeanne?
**[15:29] Jeanne**
If we're going to face the spirits
and the mythical beasts,
**[15:34] Jeanne**
we can't be pushed back
by an enemy of that caliber.
**[15:41] Kai**
You're right.
**[15:43] Kai**
Aim for the forehead.
**[15:45] Kai**
It's an atrophied magic organ.
That's its vital spot.
**[15:51] Falin**
We're already aware of that.
**[15:54] Falin**
The question is how to attack it.
**[15:57] Jeanne**
If this is the celestial territory,
shouldn't *it* be here, Reiren?
**[16:14] Falin**
Over here, you beast.
**[16:27] Kai**
Just a little more.
**[16:49] Reiren**
It's mushroom fog spores.
**[16:52] Reiren**
It shouldn't be able
to see or smell for a while.
**[17:10] Kai**
Explode!
**[17:14] Rinne**
What?
**[17:16] Kai**
Rinne!
**[17:31] Reiren**
Phew...
**[17:34] Reiren**
Your plan worked.
**[17:36] Reiren**
It completely fell for the elven trap.
**[17:41] Reiren**
Right now, it's being burnt to a crisp
**[17:43] Reiren**
by the magma-like heat
of the purgatory flower garden.
**[17:48] Reiren**
Hmm? What's wrong?
**[17:49] Jeanne**
Kai!
**[17:55] Rinne**
Kai... why...
**[18:00] Kai**
The mythical beast's magical organ is
atrophied, but it doesn't mean it's gone.
**[18:07] Kai**
It probably detected
your magical powers, Rinne.
**[18:14] Rinne**
Such a painful wound...
I don't want to see it.
**[18:18] Rinne**
I don't like it when you're
suffering like this, Kai...
**[18:25] Kai**
Rinne, are you hurt?
**[18:28] Rinne**
No.
**[18:29] Kai**
Good. I'm glad you're all right.
**[18:34] Jeanne**
Kai, are you all right?!
**[18:36] Reiren**
I'll stop the bleeding.
Do you have any painkillers?
**[19:01] Arsla Solaka**
*Awaken.*
**[19:05] Arsla Solaka**
*Come to me.*
**[19:11] Arsla Solaka**
*Child who is loved by fate.*
**[19:16] Arsla Solaka**
*Child who was thrown away by the world*
**[19:20] Arsla Solaka**
*The one who touched upon the taboo code.*
**[19:30] Jeanne**
Was that a dream?
**[19:34] Kai**
That voice... I've heard it somewhere.
**[19:44] Reiren**
What's going on?
**[19:54] Ashran**
Change in departure time.
We were told to stay put for a while.
**[19:58] Saki**
What? Why?
**[20:00] Ashran**
I don't know?
**[20:01] Saki**
Oh, okay... I wonder if we could
take another dip
**[20:05] Saki**
in that warm spring.
**[20:07] Ashran**
Did you get hooked on it?
**[20:16] Reiren**
The building you speak of...
I don't mind taking you there,
**[20:20] Reiren**
but there's nothing special about it.
**[20:22] Reiren**
There's just stone statues inside.
**[20:25] Kai**
You've been in there before?
**[20:27] Reiren**
Of course I have.
**[20:28] Reiren**
I always thought humans
make the silliest things.
**[20:32] Jeanne**
Is it really a building made by humans?
**[20:35] Jeanne**
In such a remote place?
**[20:37] Reiren**
It wasn't made by the celestials.
**[20:39] Reiren**
Humans are the only other
ones who could make it, no?
**[20:45] Kai**
A megalith, huh?
**[20:46] Jeanne**
Megalith?
**[20:48] Kai**
It's an unanalyzed spiritual ruin...
**[20:51] Kai**
A structure whose origins are
completely unknown.
**[20:54] Kai**
There are several of them
in the world I came from.
**[20:58] Kai**
You know one of them, Rinne.
**[21:01] Rinne**
I know one of them?
**[21:04] Kai**
The graveyards.
**[21:07] Kai**
In the true history of the world,
**[21:09] Kai**
they were special buildings made
to seal away the four races...
**[21:13] Kai**
In this world, the code holder
was hidden there.
**[21:29] Kai**
It's this.
**[21:31] Jeanne**
Yes... that's right.
**[21:40] Arsla Solaka**
*Now, come.*
**[21:45] Arsla Solaka**
*What are you afraid of?*
**[21:49] Arsla Solaka**
*You have finally found the center of the world,*
**[21:56] Arsla Solaka**
*those chosen by fate.*
**[22:00] Arsla Solaka**
*I shall welcome your visit.*
