00:00Let's become treasure hunters!
00:06We'll lead lives of heart-pounding adventure winning riches and glory from treasure vaults around the world!
00:11That sounds like fun!
00:13Yeah, let's do it!
00:15Me too!
00:17Together?
00:18I know the six of us will make it!
00:21And we're all gonna share the same goal!
00:24To be the greatest heroes in the world!
00:26Which means we'll end up in Zabrudia, the Imperial Capital!
00:33Cry, are you in?
00:39Treasure hunters are stars in the Imperial Capital.
00:43They travel to various ruins, the so-called treasure vaults, and collect the relics hidden inside.
00:50It's a job where you risk your life fighting monsters called phantoms.
00:55But in return, you can attain vast riches and glory.
00:59One of the capital's best regarded treasure hunting clans, First Steps, is currently at a local pub, conducting interviews with prospective candidates for membership.
01:13A clan is an organization of parties that come together to assist one another.
01:17There's a limit to how far a solo hunter can go.
01:21If you wish to set your sights high, it's vital to get into a good party and become stronger alongside your comrades.
01:29And unfortunately, I failed to do that.
01:33Hey!
01:33Are you here to join a party too?
01:37Sorry if that was sudden.
01:38Everyone around here is so on edge and it's starting to put me off a little bit.
01:42You just seemed more approachable.
01:47Anyway, I'm Ruda Runbeck.
01:50And I just got my promotion to level 3 recently.
01:54Nice to meet ya!
01:56I'm, uh...
01:58My name is Cry Andre.
02:00And same, Ruda.
02:01Looks like this thing got a pretty decent turnout, didn't it?
02:09I've been getting by as a solo hunter till now.
02:11But this one vault, the White Wolf's Den, chewed me up and spit me out.
02:16So I figured maybe I should try and find myself a party to...
02:18Come on now.
02:19Who are you kidding, little girl?
02:21Well, I certainly wasn't talking to you.
02:23Weltsin' into the White Wolf's Den at level 3?
02:26Why would an amateur like you bother showing your face at an event like this?
02:30Huh?
02:32Who are you calling an amateur?
02:34Steps is a renowned clan, even in the capital.
02:37Maybe level 3 is halfway up the ladder where you're from?
02:40But around here, it might as well be the first rung.
02:43Now why don't you run along home before you get yourself hurt, kid?
02:46The flyer specifically said level doesn't matter.
02:49You should know that's just a formality.
02:51What's your problem?
02:52You really wanna go?
02:53I don't know, girl.
02:55Where we going?
02:56How about in the ground?
02:57Hm!
02:58Put those blades away.
03:03If this goes any further, I guarantee you won't be joining the clan.
03:09I was just goofing around, sir.
03:12Hunters shouldn't be drawing their weapons in the streets.
03:14Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
03:16I mean...
03:17Whoa!
03:20So all of these people are hunters?
03:23Yeah, looks that way.
03:25It's pretty overwhelming, huh?
03:28I've never been to an event like this before.
03:30How about you?
03:31I think this one makes five.
03:33Five?
03:34For real?
03:34Sorry, that was rude.
03:36I didn't mean that.
03:38No, I get it.
03:39You're fine.
03:40For Hunters, skill is everything.
03:42If you have the talent, you can fly up the ranks overnight.
03:46And if you don't, you live on whatever scraps you get.
03:50Hey, Cry.
03:52You recognize that flashy-looking party there?
03:54The ones pulling the biggest crowd?
03:56Ah.
03:57Looks like those are all members of Ark Brave.
04:00They're the strongest party recruiting today, so it makes sense people are flocking to them.
04:06They managed to clear a level seven vault with a party of six.
04:10The absolute cream of the crop.
04:12A level seven vault?
04:13The one sitting down as their leader, Ark Rodan.
04:17Getting him to bring you on would basically be a free pass to a successful hunting career.
04:22But as far as I'm aware, Ark Brave has never accepted a new member through one of these events.
04:28Wow.
04:29So what about that other desk sitting next to the table?
04:32The empty one.
04:35Oh, hey.
04:36You really do know nothing about nothing, huh?
04:39Who do you think?
04:41You again?
04:43Fine, twist my arm.
04:44Looks like the great Greg's gotta give you the rundown.
04:47I'm good, thanks.
04:48That table is set aside.
04:49Did he not hear me or does he not care?
04:52The Grievers.
04:54The founding party?
04:55The Grievers.
04:57That's the nickname of a group of youngsters who showed up at the Capitol a few years ago.
05:02A team of extraordinary, dazzling talents who immediately established themselves as one of the Capitol's strongest parties.
05:09Officially known as...
05:10Grieving Souls.
05:13And that's the party of my childhood friends.
05:15There were rumors going around that the Grievers were looking to recruit new members for the first time in years.
05:21I reckon that's why this event got such a massive turnout.
05:25And hey, take a look at that.
05:27Who are they?
05:29Solo hunters, most likely.
05:31They want to join the best party they can.
05:33And with the Grievers, they could take the hardest vaults right out the gate.
05:36Well, the table's empty.
05:38Could be the rumors were all loaded.
05:40Hey!
05:40Where are the Grievers?
05:42I don't want these clowns.
05:44I want to meet the best of the best.
05:46That's the only reason I bothered making the trek here.
05:49I'm gonna be one of the strongest hunters in the world someday.
05:52I'm already at level four.
05:54The Capitol's greatest party ought to be jumping at the chance to have me on board.
05:58They're gonna miss out.
06:00Get a load of this guy.
06:01No way.
06:02He's a higher level than me.
06:06You got a problem?
06:08You need to know your place.
06:10That's enough, Tino.
06:12You don't have to take the bait.
06:13Give me one second.
06:14I'll crush him.
06:16That's what my teacher would do if she were here.
06:18Because I'm the only one who deserves a place in the Grieving Souls.
06:22I said that's enough.
06:24If the Vice Master were here, we both know she would be telling you not to make a scene.
06:27You don't need to respond to idiots.
06:29Hey, who are you calling an idiot?
06:31What do you think, you idiot?
06:33Does it look like I don't already have enough to deal with here?
06:36Yeah, let's get it on.
06:38Hurry up and show that loudmouthed brat what the first steps are made of.
06:42All right, let's go.
06:43Give a like four, you goof.
06:45Who you calling an idiot?
06:50Tino, wait.
06:57We should head outside.
06:59It's about to get dangerous.
07:00Wait, but do we...
07:02Do we...
07:02Hurry.
07:05Have it your way, shorty.
07:07Just don't expect me to hold back.
07:09Of course.
07:11First you die, details come later.
07:14Just like my teacher taught me.
07:15I knew coming here was a bad idea.
07:18Everyone ready for this?
07:22Give it all you've got, you two!
07:26Ready?
07:28Fight!
07:29I didn't realize you were going to be here, master.
07:44How much of that did you see?
07:46Hey there, cry.
07:48Got held up?
07:49At long last, the clan master and leader of grieving souls has arrived.
07:53We can get this started in earnest.
07:54He's the clan master?
07:57He's the leader of the Grievers?
08:03We now live in a golden age of treasure hunters.
08:07And amid the gleaming talent assembled in the imperial capital of Zabrudia, one man shines even brighter than the rest.
08:14His name?
08:16Cry Andrei.
08:17This is the epic tale full of glory and agony of how he founded a party with his childhood friends,
08:23now renowned as the capital's strongest heroes, and rose to become leader of the world's greatest clan.
08:28Yeah, I think I'm gonna vote.
08:58First steps, like treading on new ground, huh?
09:02And they're known as steps for short.
09:04Makes sense.
09:05Today, I just want to go on.
09:28It's been several years now.
09:39We were still new to the capital, but we were already making a splash,
09:44clearing multiple beginner-level treasure vaults in record time.
09:47Cry!
09:47Don't take another step!
09:49Huh?
09:54What's up, Cry?
09:56This is the last one, right?
09:58Uh, uh, yeah.
10:00That's so like you, Cry.
10:02You were baiting it out for me, right?
10:05I could have died just now.
10:08Hey!
10:09Hey, Cry!
10:10We all had the same dream, to become great treasure hunters.
10:14But we didn't have the same level of talent.
10:18My childhood friends were five legends in the making.
10:21I was just some random dingleberry.
10:25I knew if I stayed with them long at night,
10:28I would start to weigh them down.
10:30Yeah.
10:31Come on, let's go!
10:33You ready?
10:33Cry right now.
10:34They were just too nice to say it out loud.
10:36Hey, Cry, what's up?
10:38And that's why I knew
10:39I would have to make the decision for myself
10:42to leave this party.
10:46You've all done so much for me.
10:51And I'm sure you'll go on to be amazing hunters.
10:54So please, try and understand.
10:58Hey, Cry.
10:59Actually, this has been on my mind for a while now.
11:02But the party doesn't have a leader.
11:05Uh, I mean, I guess not?
11:07And I think the obvious choice is you.
11:10Ah!
11:11Hey, that's perfect!
11:12I agree.
11:13Yeah, you're really good at giving speeches.
11:16Mm-hmm.
11:16Did you guys not hear anything I was saying?
11:20Just now?
11:20That's how it all started
11:23and how it stayed.
11:25Since that day,
11:26I've been playing leader
11:28to a famous party
11:30of my vastly more talented childhood friends
11:32and wishing every day
11:35that I could finally retire from being a hunter.
11:40I still can't believe this.
11:42That whole time,
11:43Cry was really the clan master of first steps?
11:47Brilliant stuff.
11:48Who else would go for a gag like that?
11:51Being late to the venue
11:53because you overslept?
11:54Huh?
11:55Keep your phony good looks
11:57away from my master.
11:59Fakeness is contagious.
12:00Fakeness, you say?
12:02Oh, wow.
12:04Oh, you're hilarious, Tino.
12:08Don't tell me.
12:09You decided to go incognito
12:11amongst these commoners
12:12so you could observe them
12:13without being noticed?
12:14Good guess.
12:15Wrong, but good.
12:16Right.
12:17That would explain your clothes.
12:18Since you ordered the rest of us
12:20to be properly dressed...
12:21Like I told you,
12:22I just overslept.
12:23There wasn't enough time to get ready.
12:25What a good cover story.
12:28Ark's not the exception.
12:30Most hunters rarely listen
12:31to anything you say.
12:34Master!
12:35This guy isn't really too insulting!
12:38Strike him from the clan roster!
12:39No.
12:40You should take your act on the road!
12:44Her name's Tino Shade,
12:45a level four.
12:47She's a solo hunter
12:48affiliated with the Steps.
12:50On top of that,
12:51she's also an apprentice
12:52serving under my childhood friend Liz.
12:56So, out with it?
12:58Did you find any decent prospects?
13:00You really think we have room
13:01for any new recruits?
13:03Wait.
13:04Hmm.
13:05If I told you I had a potential
13:08new member in mind,
13:09would you think of taking them in?
13:11Of course.
13:12I would trust you.
13:16Slow down, Ark.
13:17We never said...
13:19We'll settle for one person.
13:25It doesn't matter who?
13:26If you recommend them.
13:28Yep.
13:29Classic Ark.
13:31Generous and handsome.
13:32Let me think.
13:35You are forcing the leftovers onto us.
13:41Master?
13:42Huh?
13:43While I have to say
13:44being chosen is a true honor,
13:46I kind of already had my heart set
13:47on being at your side
13:48with the grieving souls.
13:50You're joining this low-rent pretty boy's party
13:52that is a question.
13:53You...
13:54Stop causing trouble!
13:55I'll take your hands off here!
13:56Quit making the scene!
13:58Relax.
13:58I'll handle it.
13:59If you conductively work,
14:01you'll feel like you've got
14:02no choice but to ride,
14:03I guess I would consider
14:04joining their opera!
14:06Shut up, you idiot!
14:07Hey, you.
14:09You said you were a level four, right?
14:12But you're not affiliated
14:13with any party yet?
14:14That's none of your damn business.
14:16Fine.
14:17How about your name, then?
14:18It's Gilbert.
14:20Call me Gilbert Bush.
14:21Of the Purgatorial Sword.
14:24Purgatorial Sword, huh?
14:26He's gonna need a lot of work.
14:29But one's Ark and the other's training.
14:31Hmm.
14:34I don't have an eye for quality.
14:36Anyone I pick will be based solely on luck.
14:40Very well, Gilbert.
14:43I'll recommend you to Ark.
14:44But only on one condition.
14:47Well, what is it?
14:48Tell me.
14:49What's the most important thing for a hunter?
14:53It's simple.
14:55Refusing to lose.
14:56If you're not strong enough,
14:59your party's going to suffer.
15:00So show me losing
15:02isn't in your vocabulary.
15:05One more thing.
15:07Ever since becoming a hunter,
15:09I haven't lost once.
15:11Not once ever?!
15:12No one's as amazing as you, Master!
15:16Well, I haven't been in a proper fight either,
15:18but that's beside the point.
15:19Listen, everyone.
15:24I've got an announcement to make.
15:25Whoever manages to acquire this ring,
15:28I will recommend to Ark Bray.
15:29K.O.
15:56You probably survived, right?
15:59Now, where'd that ring go?
16:02Wait, what the heck?
16:07Oh, no, you don't!
16:10By the way,
16:11did I mention that ring is actually a relic?
16:13Whoever's lucky enough to retrieve it
16:15can call it theirs,
16:16so good luck out there!
16:19Bruda?
16:20And the great Greg?
16:20Oh, yeah.
16:21Perhaps our paths will cross again.
16:23Alright, see you later.
16:25Pleasure as always, Ark.
16:27Yeah, same.
16:29You're in my way!
16:36I'm off.
16:41I'm sure they'll be fine.
16:45Did you see the paper cry?
16:47You made the front page.
16:49Yeah?
16:49Huge brawl erupts at Ark Brave's recruitment.
16:55Speaking of erupting,
16:56the venue was blown up.
16:59So, any civilian injuries?
17:01Luckily, none were reported,
17:03but the Explorers Association
17:05would like a word.
17:06You're joking.
17:07And what did Ark have to say?
17:08He just read the article and laughed.
17:11I gotta give him props for being so easygoing.
17:14In fact,
17:15let's go ahead and put the pub's
17:17entire repair bill on his account.
17:19He can deal with the Association, too.
17:21Don't you think you're relying on Ark a little too much?
17:26Besides, you were asked for specifically,
17:29so I don't think that'll go over well.
17:32Knowing Branch Manager Gark,
17:33if I don't go,
17:34he'll come find me instead.
17:36I'm just not really eager to go outside.
17:38Not without a guard.
17:40No disguise, Relic.
17:41My poor reversible face.
17:43I accidentally broke it.
17:46Reversible face!
17:47First equip,
17:48then activate,
17:49and just like that,
17:50instant visual change!
17:52Goodness me!
17:53It's revolutionary!
17:55So what are you waiting for?
17:56Get yours today,
17:57reversible face!
17:59You'll never want to leave home without it.
18:04No one will attack you on the street in broad daylight.
18:07Easy for you to say.
18:08You see, now it's never happened to you.
18:11Fine, then.
18:13I'll brave it.
18:15I'm so sorry!
18:17I swear I didn't mean to cause any trouble!
18:20Not on purpose, anyway!
18:21And not out of malice!
18:22We took special care to make sure no civilians would get hurt!
18:25If you were there,
18:26you'd see how much of a bind I was in.
18:27I couldn't stop the chaos once it started!
18:29The only option I had was to let it play out!
18:32You done?
18:33Ready for your punishment?
18:34Only the building took a beating,
18:36so it's okay, right?
18:37You know what they say.
18:37Better property damage than people damage!
18:40Nobody's complained yet!
18:41The owner of that pub and I go way back,
18:43and they're a super nice, understanding person!
18:45They'll forgive us!
18:45Trust me!
18:46I'm blameless!
18:47I need ice cream!
18:48Right, would you please settle down?
18:51And you didn't need to scold him that hard, you know.
18:53This is how I look all the time.
18:56Go ahead.
18:59Here, you'll need this.
19:00Officially, no one's complained yet, but the first steps are a big-name plan,
19:05which means you have to set an example for other hunters.
19:09How's it going to look if I let this slide?
19:11You're giving me a chore?
19:13Don't call it that.
19:14The Explorer's Association, or simply the Association,
19:18receives all sorts of job requests.
19:20Some either pay so little, have such a short turnaround,
19:23or are so stupidly difficult that nobody in their right mind wants to take them on.
19:28Hunters respectfully have a word for these sort of errands.
19:31We call them chores.
19:32I'm in quite the predicament here.
19:38As an ex-hunter yourself, surely you understand.
19:42Whoa, hey!
19:43It's not like I'm saying no.
19:45You've been looking out for me for ages, Gark,
19:48which I'm thankful for.
19:49In my defense, though,
19:50I don't think what happened even breaks into my top ten screw-ups.
19:54He's leveled up his provocation skill again.
19:57Uh, big one.
19:59Yes, sir.
20:00I'll just choose the easiest one and pass it off to Ark.
20:04Let's see.
20:05Treasure vault level 5, 4, 5, 7, 6, etc.
20:10Hold on!
20:11A level 3!
20:12Found myself a real winner!
20:14Corpse retrieval it is.
20:17That's a rescue mission, Cry.
20:19Let's not make light of it.
20:22Well, he was a character, per usual.
20:25Yes.
20:26You can count on him always getting carried away.
20:28I doubt that boy is ever going to change.
20:31Also, he did us a favor choosing the most dangerous job of the bunch.
20:37Ah, what do you mean Ark isn't here?
20:40He's gone.
20:41Summoned a peacock for a bunch of nobles or some such nonsense.
20:44He said he'd be gone a while.
20:47I see.
20:48Looks like everyone cleared out.
20:50By the way...
20:52Huh?
20:53Nice.
20:55You picked up my ring.
20:56That's right.
20:58It's not like I was going to let anyone else get a hold of it.
21:02You think I could look after it for you?
21:04Sure.
21:06Shooting rings aren't that special, though.
21:07To me it is.
21:09Tina, are you free this second?
21:11If I ever...
21:14I've never been more free my whole life than right now!
21:17I've been waiting forever for you to ask me that question!
21:19How perfect?
21:21Because I got assigned a chore.
21:24Change of plans?
21:29She's all yours.
21:43Onward, Silver.
21:46I'll be honest.
21:48This is the single biggest shock I've ever experienced, and that's saying something.
21:52I'm maidenly hard as in tatters.
21:54I never imagined you would stoop to this level, but here we are.
21:58I've been tricked.
21:58A little bait-and-switch.
22:00Me?
22:01Trick you?
22:02Who do you take me for?
22:04Furthermore, I want you to know...
22:07All I wanted was for the two of us to go and get some ice cream.
22:11But instead...
22:13You decided to stick me with this unprecedented crappy job request.
22:18The reward is cheap.
22:20The time constraint is too tight.
22:23I literally can't find a single upside to this!
22:26Who the hell would want to take it?
22:30Mm-hmm.
22:31Who indeed?
22:32Not me.
22:33I would if you asked, but I'm a level four.
22:36There's no way I can rescue five people on my own.
22:39Mm-hmm.
22:40Fair point.
22:40I realize you prefer sending us on these missions because a brush with death has a way of making us all stronger, but I'm asking you to reconsider.
22:49You have to live to learn a lesson!
22:51Mm-hmm.
22:52So right.
22:53Uh...
22:53Close to death?
22:56Over a level three vault?
22:57I see.
23:01It'd be easier if you weren't alone.
23:03Uh...
23:03I think so.
23:05But, you know...
23:06If you were there fighting beside me, I'd give a lot to see...
23:08This is at the White Wolf's den, right?
23:10Right.
23:10While she was shouldered with misfortune, this poor girl at least had an impromptu party.
23:20Will they be able to face the mystery job everyone shied away from?
23:24Find out next episode!
23:26Don't miss it!
23:28Hmm.
23:29So my master, the thousand tricks, force this on me!
23:32Urgent requests!
23:33Off we go to the White Wolf's den!
23:34Super dangerous!
23:35Treasure balls!
23:36So last minute!
23:37Wolf again!
23:37We'll go all out!
23:38Till the end!
23:39I hope all of you are ready for this!
23:41Uh, sure.
23:42Next time on Let This Grieving Soul...
23:44Retire!
23:45You're on, master!
23:47I want to leave it to Tino and take it easy.
