00:00:03Hello, my name is Arisa, Sato-sama.
00:00:08She used the honorific. Is this girl Japanese? I have an idea.
00:00:20Get it off! Disgusting! I hate spiders more than anything else in the entire world!
00:00:25Thought so.
00:00:31I bought both of them. I'm such a sucker.
00:00:36There's a Kumo in your hair.
00:00:39I knew she was from Japan. Japanese girls always hate spiders.
00:00:47Like I said, my name is Arisa. It's been well over a decade since I was born into the mysterious
00:00:52kingdom of Kuvorg.
00:00:54I hope you'll treat me with love and respect, Master.
00:00:56I'm... I'm Lulu. I'm 14. I'm from the kingdom of Kuvorg.
00:01:02As you can see, I'm homely, weak, and shy, too.
00:01:06But I am sturdy as a pack horse, so please don't cast me aside.
00:01:10It's nice to meet you both. I'm Sato.
00:01:16My name is Pochi.
00:01:17Tama.
00:01:19Greetings, my name is Liza.
00:01:21A spawn of the Ornce Scale race, my village was toppled by the Weaselmen shortly after I was sold as
00:01:27a slave.
00:01:28But I am very proud to have been sold to the Shiga kingdom.
00:01:32Hey...
00:01:32Too much.
00:01:33Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
00:01:36An odd-eared race and a slave? I'll admit I've never met anyone quite like you before.
00:01:42Yeah, they're unique for sure.
00:01:44They're kind souls. Be patient with them.
00:01:49Aww! How could I not be patient with two little cuties like them?
00:01:53Are we little cuties?
00:01:54Mm-hmm.
00:01:55You are really cute, Tama.
00:01:57How are you, Pochi?
00:01:59Nice to meet you.
00:02:00Yes, nice to meet you, girls.
00:02:02Yes, the pleasure is ours.
00:02:03But she said...
00:02:04We're glad to have you with us.
00:02:06You're all so lovely.
00:02:07She doesn't hate demi-humans. What a relief.
00:02:10Well, why don't we head back to the inn?
00:02:12Okay, duggies!
00:02:15Wanna hold hands?
00:02:17We already are holding hands, silly.
00:02:29I'll race this from Japan for sure.
00:02:31But I shouldn't talk about it in front of the others.
00:02:38Something sure does smell good.
00:02:40Let's grab some food before we go home.
00:02:42What do you guys want?
00:02:44Meat! Meat!
00:02:45Yeah, meat sounds great!
00:02:47We will eat anything you offer us with a smile on our face and gratitude in our hearts.
00:02:51But if I must choose, then I select poultry of the chicken variety.
00:02:55Aren't birds and lizards relatives?
00:02:57I'm a bit confused, Master.
00:02:59As slaves, we aren't supposed to be particular about what we eat.
00:03:06I'm curious. What type of food did you normally get?
00:03:09I never had a say in the matter, really.
00:03:11They usually gave us stale bread.
00:03:14Staled soup without any meat was considered a feast!
00:03:17We were lucky if we received one meal a day.
00:03:19When they didn't feed us, we would forage for fruits, berries, and twigs.
00:03:23One time, I had no choice but to eat a leaf for breakfast.
00:03:26Acorn nuts!
00:03:28And weeds!
00:03:30Wait, are you serious?
00:03:41Well, at least her tail is excited.
00:03:47Alright, dig in!
00:03:48Bless this food!
00:03:53Bless our food, too!
00:03:56Wow, it's super hot!
00:04:01You might want to blow on it first.
00:04:03Right!
00:04:04Okay!
00:04:06It's like my mouth's on fire!
00:04:09Chilly, chili!
00:04:10It's quite tasty.
00:04:11And it's really crunchy, too!
00:04:15Mmm, it's a little on the salty side, but it's not bad.
00:04:18It seems like there are a lot of manual laborers around here.
00:04:21Maybe this is the kind of stuff they like?
00:04:24Food made with entrails is generally supposed to have a variety of textures and flavors.
00:04:28But there are some people who have trouble with the unique aroma.
00:04:31I don't know if they were just meticulous in preparing it,
00:04:34or if there's something unique about the vegetables it was simmered with,
00:04:36but this stuff smells great!
00:04:37Would you like to try some of this, kid?
00:04:40Wow, this is just like tekkanyaki.
00:04:43And this must be heart with liver.
00:04:48Yikes!
00:04:49It's so spicy!
00:04:50Spicy, spicy!
00:04:51This is hotter than a weasel man on the trail of an orange scale!
00:04:54Easy, girls.
00:04:56If it's too hot, don't force yourselves.
00:04:58Whatever you don't want, I'll eat myself.
00:05:01Here you go.
00:05:03Thanks a lot!
00:05:04You're so sweet!
00:05:07Let's dig in!
00:05:08Please enjoy.
00:05:10Where are you going, Master?
00:05:12I won't be gone too long.
00:05:14I just want to do a little shopping in the neighborhood, is all.
00:05:17Oh, in that case, let me help!
00:05:18No, eat up, please.
00:05:21That's an order, ladies.
00:05:28Huh, that's right.
00:05:29Lisa said she was hungry for chicken.
00:05:32I think I'll buy her a midnight snack.
00:05:46Hungry?
00:05:48Eat.
00:05:49Make sure that you share it with your friends, okay?
00:05:55Well, what do you think?
00:06:02You look awesome!
00:06:04You have quite the eye for fashion, Master.
00:06:06We're cute!
00:06:08We look super duper great!
00:06:10Hey, Sato!
00:06:12How are you, Martha?
00:06:13Miss Mariantele told me all about your adventures.
00:06:16It was quite a yarn.
00:06:18Your room is still as it was, so you're welcome to rest up, but...
00:06:22It appears you might need a little more space.
00:06:25Yes.
00:06:26These are my friends.
00:06:27Without their help, I couldn't have escaped the labyrinth.
00:06:30The labyrinth?
00:06:31Actually, I was hoping I could get a few extra rooms for them.
00:06:35Is there space?
00:06:36I'm sorry, but we're all booked up, dear.
00:06:42Demihuman haters.
00:06:43Martha, will you take those two to my room, please?
00:06:47The rest of us will just have to camp outside tonight.
00:06:51Oh, Master.
00:06:52You are such a generous soul.
00:06:55Don't look so mad!
00:06:57You're likely to frighten us to the core with those mean old scowls.
00:07:01Ma'am, if it's all right by you, I was hoping we might use your shed or a stable for
00:07:05the night.
00:07:06These girls save countless human lives while braving the darkness and terror of the labyrinth.
00:07:11Though they will receive no medals for their display of courage, perhaps you can spare them a little mercy.
00:07:15A person's good deeds should always be paid back in kind.
00:07:20Oh, yes.
00:07:23That's an excellent point.
00:07:24The shed is chock-full to the brim, but the stable has more than enough room.
00:07:32I do hope I was helpful, Master.
00:07:34Yeah, you were.
00:07:36Thank you for that.
00:07:39All right.
00:07:40I think this blanket will keep you from getting needled by the hay in your sleep.
00:07:44Fluffy, Fluff!
00:07:45Why did I get needlework?
00:07:46Oh, well. Maybe it'll come in handy one day.
00:07:50If any troublemakers try to bother you, don't kill them unless you have no choice.
00:07:55If you need help, just shout. I'll come running your first thing.
00:07:59Right. Understood.
00:08:01Aye, aye!
00:08:02Okie-dokies!
00:08:07There's no need for that.
00:08:09Just take care of yourself, okay?
00:08:11Yes, right.
00:08:13Oh, no. Are you hurt?
00:08:14No! I'm perfectly fine. Thank you so much.
00:08:16Thank you so much for asking, Master.
00:08:18I think Lulu's a bit uncomfortable around men.
00:08:22We're ready for you, Master.
00:08:31Oh, no. Are they serious?
00:08:34Are they nudists?
00:08:35Is that a thing here?
00:08:37Ladies, the covers are a bit on the thin side. You'll catch a cold like that. Put something on, please.
00:08:43Oh, but our services?
00:08:46Uh, if she means what I think she means, and I'm pretty sure she does.
00:08:50Yikes.
00:08:51I'm not interested in that.
00:08:53Excuse me!
00:08:54We've got a big day tomorrow of shopping and stocking up on supplies.
00:08:57So get some rest.
00:09:09It's okay.
00:09:10Those days are all in the past now.
00:09:33Well, hello. Did I wake you up?
00:09:49Whoops, I stole a little kiss.
00:09:51Hold on. She wasn't in my bed when I fell asleep.
00:09:56My mind is telling me no, but my body, my body's telling me yes.
00:10:02Wait, since when am I a pedophile?
00:10:05It's like I'm being compelled to do this against my will.
00:10:08That's it.
00:10:16Arisa, no more using magic, understood?
00:10:19That's an order.
00:10:21And one more thing.
00:10:23Any magic or skills you've already activated are to be released at once.
00:10:26You hear me?
00:10:27That is an order.
00:10:36No fair.
00:10:39No fair.
00:10:41It's the second time you've used psychic magic tonight.
00:10:44First, you used it on the other guests at the inn.
00:10:47Probably some trick to neutralize their disdain for Pochi and the others.
00:10:52And these are the three spells you were using to manipulate me?
00:10:56Why were you trying to control me by using a psychic spell?
00:10:59I don't know what you're asking me, Master.
00:11:02Look, from now on, no more avoiding the subject either.
00:11:05Tell me what you were doing, Arisa.
00:11:08Might as well see how effective this is.
00:11:11I'm going to ask you one more time.
00:11:13What were you doing?
00:11:15I only wanted to service you, Master.
00:11:17You have my word.
00:11:20I still don't understand.
00:11:22Could you try and explain it more clearly?
00:11:25Oh, come on!
00:11:26What can be clearer than that?
00:11:28I fell for you the moment I first laid eyes on you!
00:11:36You're fine, soft black hair, your easygoing attitude, your cute baby face, your skinny build, your smooth skin with no
00:11:44hair where there shouldn't be.
00:11:45All I've ever wanted is to marry someone like you.
00:11:48But alas, the perfect man, the man I've always dreamed I'd find, is my master and he commands me not
00:11:53to service him.
00:11:53How can I accept that?
00:11:55That's why I used a spell.
00:11:57And if that makes you angry with me, oh well!
00:12:01So when I didn't fall for you right away, you decided to brainwash me?
00:12:05You make it sound so wrong!
00:12:08It is the duty of a slave girl to seduce her master and do everything she can to make him
00:12:12feel good!
00:12:12That is not right.
00:12:15I understand.
00:12:17At least I think.
00:12:19I was waiting for you to come and call on me, but you fell asleep.
00:12:22That made me unhappy.
00:12:24So I decided the next best thing was to crawl in bed and watch you sleep.
00:12:28I'm so naughty.
00:12:30Oops!
00:12:35You were feeling amorous and you decided to act on it.
00:12:38More or less.
00:12:40Ugh, good grief.
00:12:42She is a hot mess.
00:12:45I've never seen these skills before.
00:12:50My name's Tachibana Arisa, and I'm from Japan just like you.
00:12:54I knew it.
00:12:55Well, I was from Japan.
00:12:57I was reincarnated in the Kuvorak Kingdom.
00:13:00Strangely, I still have my memories from my former life on Earth.
00:13:03Were you reincarnated too?
00:13:05Wait, what?
00:13:06I get it.
00:13:07With soft, smooth black hair like that, I'm guessing you were summoned here as a hero.
00:13:12Word to, master.
00:13:14Look at that, you've just clammed up.
00:13:17You're only the second Japanese person I've met here, did you know that?
00:13:21Wait, does that mean Lulu's the other one?
00:13:22Oh no, not Lulu.
00:13:25Although apparently her grandfather was Japanese.
00:13:28Fate is cruel, is it not?
00:13:30If she'd been born in Japan, she could have become a teen idol.
00:13:34Wait, an idol?
00:13:35Unfortunately, the people here don't find her attractive in the least.
00:13:39Now, getting back to the original question.
00:13:41Were you reincarnated in this world, or are you a transfer?
00:13:44Truth is, I don't know.
00:13:46Well, maybe I can help.
00:13:49Tell me, what makes a transfer different?
00:13:52People who are reincarnated in this world are those who died in our old world.
00:13:57People who are transported here are compelled to appear in this world as a result of summoning magic.
00:14:02They're either summoned heroes or reincarnations.
00:14:05So when you're reincarnated, do you start as a baby?
00:14:09Yes, in this world, that's precisely how it works.
00:14:12Do people who are transported keep their original appearance?
00:14:15Do they look exactly like they did before they were transferred?
00:14:18As far as I know, when they appear, they're even wearing the same clothes that they wore on Earth.
00:14:23And guess what?
00:14:24Their features stay the same.
00:14:34I don't think either applies to me, then.
00:14:36Are you saying you didn't meet God, Sato?
00:14:39God? No, I didn't.
00:14:41Oh, well, tell me this.
00:14:43Were you inside a summoner's circle when you appeared?
00:14:46No, I was alone in the wasteland.
00:14:48I see.
00:14:49Did you start out at a high level?
00:14:51Like with infinite MP and a whole bunch of crazy skills?
00:14:54I started at level one, actually.
00:14:57My MP was zero.
00:14:58No skills, either.
00:15:00Wait.
00:15:01I had those disposable meteor shower icons.
00:15:04That's no fun.
00:15:05Good luck beating a dumb game like that.
00:15:09Uh, so, one question.
00:15:11Sure, I don't mind telling you.
00:15:13My bra size is...
00:15:16This isn't an order.
00:15:17So if you don't want to answer, that's totally okay.
00:15:20Hmm?
00:15:23Can you tell me how you became a slave?
00:15:36Sato, are you awake?
00:15:40Look, your girlfriend is here.
00:15:42Oh, no, we're not.
00:15:43Hey, what's up?
00:15:45Sorry for the mess.
00:15:46Things have been a little nuts here.
00:15:48I should put a shirt on.
00:15:49Ooh, your boyfriend's got a nice boi-
00:15:57Master, you're scaring me a little.
00:16:01Please don't hurt me.
00:16:08You creep!
00:16:10How can you treat young girls like objects, Sato?
00:16:13How could you?
00:16:16Well, good luck with that.
00:16:21Aren't you going after her?
00:16:23I definitely don't recommend putting it off.
00:16:25Xena and I are just friends, but still, this looks bad.
00:16:36Please, don't be upset.
00:16:39I'm not upset.
00:16:41I'm disappointed.
00:16:42You were sleeping with that little girl.
00:16:44She crawled into my bed when she was half asleep.
00:16:46Oh, she did?
00:16:47But Lilio told me that men only buy slaves to satisfy their insatiable carnal appetites.
00:16:52Damn, Lilio.
00:16:54Look, Xena, I know some guys are like that, but I swear, I'm not.
00:16:57I just bought them because I needed help with the day-to-day.
00:17:00Oh, you're telling the truth?
00:17:03I don't know what it is, but you look different today.
00:17:06Your clothes are frillier.
00:17:08There's a new kind of elegance to your style.
00:17:10I guess what I mean is, you look really pretty.
00:17:13When your back's against the wall, shower them with compliments.
00:17:18That's very sweet.
00:17:20Hey, Xena, there's a store around here that sells the most beautiful shawls.
00:17:23You want to go check it out?
00:17:24I think they'd look great on you.
00:17:28Oh, Sato, that would be lovely.
00:17:35There you are. Welcome home.
00:17:37I'm very glad to see all is well again.
00:17:40Does she not realize she's the one who caused the freaking problem?
00:17:44Ow!
00:17:45Yeah, I'm back.
00:17:47Go get the others, will ya?
00:17:48Right!
00:17:53Can you tell me how you became a slave?
00:17:58That story is not a simple one.
00:18:00When I got here, I tried to help the country I ruled using memories from my former life.
00:18:06At first, things went smoothly enough.
00:18:09But then it all took a sudden turn for the worse.
00:18:12Conflict started to break out.
00:18:13In the end, a neighboring country took over.
00:18:16Was someone behind it?
00:18:19Yes.
00:18:19I didn't find out who till much later, though.
00:18:22At the time, I was depressed.
00:18:24But I chalked it up to the differences between this world and Earth.
00:18:28After our country was conquered, they publicly executed the king, the crown prince, their consorts, and a slew of loyal
00:18:35subjects in order to quell dissent.
00:18:38And then, they ordered the mages to force us into slavery.
00:18:42We were all on our own without a soul in the world to protect us.
00:18:50Then one day, out of nowhere, a demon appeared.
00:18:53The demon attacked, toppling both the castle and the surrounding villages as well.
00:18:58Everything was engulfed in flames, so Lulu and I ran to the mountains for cover.
00:19:03We had no food.
00:19:04We were starving and close to death.
00:19:07And that's when that slave trader, Nidoran, picked us up.
00:19:15Lulu wasn't feeling well, so I let her stay in the room.
00:19:18I hope that's all right.
00:19:19Thank you for letting me know.
00:19:21Not a problem.
00:19:22Here, use this money to buy clothes and daily necessities for the entire crew.
00:19:27I'll let you be in charge of negotiations.
00:19:30Consider it done, master!
00:19:32Lisa, watch Arisa's back.
00:19:33Be on the lookout for pickpockets, okay?
00:19:35Yes.
00:19:36I can keep her safe, too!
00:19:38So can I!
00:19:39Fine.
00:19:40You two watch her flanks and make sure she isn't ambushed.
00:19:46Can I pretty please use local security magic and concealment skills if I run into trouble?
00:19:51I forgot that I shut that down.
00:19:54Permission granted.
00:19:55Thank you, master.
00:19:56Well, we'll be back!
00:19:58Ooh, an adventure!
00:20:00Strange.
00:20:01They seem to like working for you.
00:20:03Yeah, they do.
00:20:04Those girls don't deserve to live their lives as slaves.
00:20:07But for now, they're safer that way.
00:20:13So, Sato, do you have any plans for this afternoon?
00:20:17Yeah, actually, I was gonna ask the Oddjobs people to help me find housing that accepts
00:20:21demi-humans.
00:20:22The stables are fine, but if I can find a warm bed for them to sleep in, I'd feel much
00:20:26better.
00:20:28Well, would it be alright if I came with you?
00:20:30That would be awesome!
00:20:32Are you sure that's how you want to spend your day off?
00:20:35Bumming around town with me?
00:20:36Yes!
00:20:42Excuse me!
00:20:43Coming!
00:20:47So sorry for the delay.
00:20:49Greetings, friends.
00:20:50My name is Nadi.
00:20:51My job here is to make sure you find one.
00:20:54Actually, I'm looking for a property to rent for my friends and me.
00:20:57I can help with that, too.
00:20:58Right this way, please, sir.
00:21:00If you're sharing the space with demi-humans, it'll need to be in the heart of West Town,
00:21:04or at least somewhere between there and the workers' residences.
00:21:07Good news and bad news.
00:21:09Bad news is there's a lot of crime there, but the good news is it's much cheaper.
00:21:13So, what's your price range?
00:21:15Well, with my budget, two silvers is the most I'd prefer to spend.
00:21:19But if that's not enough, I'd be willing to go as high as one gold coin.
00:21:22At that price point, your options are fairly limited.
00:21:25That said, there are a couple of places I can think of off the top of my head that should
00:21:29meet your requirements.
00:21:30Shall we?
00:21:34I should probably tell you, a member of the crime guild assassinated the owner of this
00:21:38house.
00:21:39Oh, well, I guess that explains why the price is so low.
00:21:48Yep, that is a fully functioning brothel right across the street.
00:21:52Thanks, but no thanks.
00:21:57The crime guild has a hideout right underneath this place, complete with a secret tunnel that
00:22:01leads into the city.
00:22:02This one gives me a bad feeling in my stomach.
00:22:05I think it's a no.
00:22:06I understand.
00:22:09Don't lose hope.
00:22:11I'll head back to the office and see if there are any properties that are more suitable to
00:22:14your needs.
00:22:15That'd be great, thanks.
00:22:16I'll swing by later this evening.
00:22:17Hopefully you have a little luck.
00:22:20So, what's next?
00:22:21Is there anything you'd like to do today, Xena?
00:22:23Uh, no.
00:22:25What about you?
00:22:25Well, if you're looking for something fun to do, a new flea market just opened up in the
00:22:29plaza up ahead.
00:22:31Generally speaking, they have really modest prices on most of their goods.
00:22:34My manager and I were actually planning to go, too.
00:22:38Interesting.
00:22:39Hmm.
00:22:41The outdoor theater is absolutely to die for.
00:22:44It's the perfect spot for a date.
00:22:46A date?
00:22:48What's wrong?
00:22:49Oh, nothing.
00:22:51I'll take one.
00:22:59Lucky Lou, it's the master!
00:23:01Oh, yay!
00:23:03How was the shopping, girls?
00:23:05Good.
00:23:07The packages were heavy, so we dropped them off at the inn.
00:23:10But, look at my dress!
00:23:12Master, you like?
00:23:15You look lovely.
00:23:17Oh, your hair's different.
00:23:19Yes, it is.
00:23:20I was getting peculiar looks on account of my purple hair.
00:23:23I decided to make a change.
00:23:24Makes sense.
00:23:25Master, I'm glad you're here.
00:23:27If it's all right, I have a small favor to ask of you.
00:23:29Don't cling to me.
00:23:31If you need something, just ask.
00:23:36Cards, huh?
00:23:37Art on the front.
00:23:39The language of the Saga Empire on the back.
00:23:42Hey, this might come in handy for teaching Pochi and Tama how to read.
00:23:46I like your cards.
00:23:47That's kind of you to say, sir.
00:23:49They're for learning Shigan.
00:23:51Wow.
00:23:56The performance is about to begin, Master.
00:23:58If we don't hurry, we might miss the show.
00:24:00You lead the way, then.
00:24:02Did you buy tickets yet?
00:24:03Tickets?
00:24:05Worry not, Master.
00:24:06We'll take care of that part.
00:24:07Okay.
00:24:08Here's some money.
00:24:10I'm sorry about this, Xena.
00:24:12But I promised Arisai would let the girls come to the play.
00:24:15Oh, that's okay.
00:24:17Check it out.
00:24:18I think these earrings would complement your hair color nicely.
00:24:22Wow.
00:24:23They're so cute.
00:24:26Do they suit me?
00:24:28Yeah, for sure.
00:24:29Thanks.
00:24:31Master!
00:24:31Master!
00:24:32I love these so badly.
00:24:35Well, in that case, let's get something for Lulu and everybody else.
00:24:38Hooray!
00:24:41I wish Xena would ask me for stuff.
00:24:43It sure would make it easier to shop for her.
00:24:46Hi.
00:24:46Wait until you see this.
00:24:51Excuse me.
00:24:53Can I get these earrings, please?
00:24:56Fair maiden, rather than under the pale moonlight,
00:25:00I would wish to see your beautiful smiling face
00:25:03beneath the light of the shining sun.
00:25:05Oh, beloved Xen.
00:25:07Use the magic spell to free me from this castle,
00:25:10which to my weary eyes seems an iron cell.
00:25:13Tragic romances are super freaking lame.
00:25:16Hungry!
00:25:16I want some meat.
00:25:20I'm sorry about that.
00:25:22It's fine.
00:25:23I guess they fell asleep.
00:25:25What about Lisa?
00:25:27Whoa, she's into it.
00:25:30No, wait.
00:25:31Her tail's wagging,
00:25:32which means she smells those skewers cooking right outside the theater.
00:25:41This play,
00:25:42The Tragedy of Marquis Muno,
00:25:43is based on a true story.
00:25:45The protagonist of the piece,
00:25:46Xen,
00:25:47is a commoner wizard
00:25:48who has a deep
00:25:48and ultimately tragic romance
00:25:50with Princess Liltiena.
00:25:52Not only does her fiancé,
00:25:54Marquis Muno,
00:25:55brutally murder nearly every member
00:25:56of Xen's extended family,
00:25:58Xen himself is murdered
00:26:00by one of the princess's attendants.
00:26:02In the end,
00:26:03Princess Liltiena takes her own life,
00:26:05which is what the audience will want to do
00:26:07by the end of the story.
00:26:12It's just the audience.
00:26:16Oh man,
00:26:17I thought that was the end.
00:26:19Wishful thinking, I guess.
00:26:24The body of the protagonist,
00:26:26which was thrown from a cliff,
00:26:28reanimates,
00:26:28becoming undead.
00:26:29He goes on a violent rampage,
00:26:31killing everyone
00:26:32at the Marquis's estate.
00:26:34Just as he's about to succeed,
00:26:36just as he's about to kill the Marquis,
00:26:38a Holy Knight kills him first.
00:26:40Talk about anticlimactic.
00:26:43Oh, sweet Holy Knight!
00:26:46Not only that,
00:26:47but the Marquis's whole personality changes.
00:26:49And then he dies
00:26:50because of some weird,
00:26:51bizarro curse from his Marquiset.
00:26:53A result is a finale remarkable
00:26:55only for its opacity.
00:27:00Gabo Flatbread.
00:27:02Isn't Gabo a vegetable in that game,
00:27:04Air Rim?
00:27:08You dropped this!
00:27:12Thank you for your kindness, sir.
00:27:14You're the young man from the show!
00:27:16Sorry again for what happened back there.
00:27:18It was nothing.
00:27:19So what did you think about the ending of the play?
00:27:21Treadful, wasn't it?
00:27:22Uh, well...
00:27:23In the script,
00:27:24the wizard is killed by the Holy Knight
00:27:26after he gets his revenge on the Marquis.
00:27:27But the nobles complain,
00:27:29so they change the ending!
00:27:31In the real story,
00:27:32the princess is a commoner,
00:27:34and yet the Marquis desires her still.
00:27:36Despite the fact that she's married to another man,
00:27:38the lecherous swine consumed with lustful yearning
00:27:41kidnaps her.
00:27:42The nobles should have left well enough alone
00:27:43if you ask me,
00:27:44which of course nobody did.
00:27:46So a bunch of idiots meddled with a writer's work,
00:27:48and the result was a complete disaster.
00:27:50Shocking.
00:27:52Ah!
00:27:52There you are, master!
00:27:54We've been looking for you!
00:27:55Sorry about that.
00:27:56I had to use the bathroom.
00:27:57I loved it so much!
00:27:59Wasn't that just the most delightful story
00:28:01you've ever heard?
00:28:02It was beautiful.
00:28:03I wept when the princess killed herself
00:28:05after the wizard died.
00:28:06So sad.
00:28:09Huh?
00:28:10Instead of dying,
00:28:11she should have secretly taken that sword,
00:28:12marched up to the Marquis,
00:28:13and stabbed him right in his big old stupid face.
00:28:16The Marquis was the root of the problem,
00:28:18trying to separate two people who love each other.
00:28:21Perhaps,
00:28:22but it was the princess who broke the promise
00:28:24of the arranged marriage
00:28:24upon which both families had agreed.
00:28:26So in one sense,
00:28:27the whole ordeal is her fault.
00:28:29Oh, come on!
00:28:30Tell me,
00:28:31who would you rather marry?
00:28:32My master?
00:28:33Or some rich blowhard
00:28:34who was forced down your throat?
00:28:36Ah!
00:28:37Well,
00:28:37I am not betrothed to anyone,
00:28:39if you must know.
00:28:40That's because you joined the military
00:28:41so your parents couldn't force you
00:28:43to marry against your will.
00:28:44In these parts,
00:28:45after women tie the knot,
00:28:46they're in charge of running the household.
00:28:48But joining the military
00:28:49means five years of service.
00:28:51Is there something going on here
00:28:53I don't get?
00:28:53Anything for the person you love,
00:28:54then you have zero business putting on a ring.
00:28:57Forced marriage or not.
00:28:58Yes, that's true.
00:28:59But the head of the family is still in charge.
00:29:01Keep playing the good girl
00:29:02and watch what happens.
00:29:03You'll have your man stolen
00:29:04right out from under you.
00:29:12That was rude.
00:29:13Ow!
00:29:14Sorry about that, Xena.
00:29:16Well, tell her you're sorry.
00:29:18I'm sorry.
00:29:20Truth is,
00:29:21I totally understand what she means.
00:29:24So,
00:29:25who wants meat skewers?
00:29:27What?
00:29:27Are you for real?
00:29:28Sounds like a plan to me.
00:29:30Say the word and it's done, master.
00:29:32How many skewers?
00:29:33A lot, I guess.
00:29:34Just make sure there's enough for everyone.
00:29:36I'll take care of the haggling.
00:29:38Fun!
00:29:39We're coming along, too!
00:29:40We are coming along, too!
00:29:40We're coming along, too!
00:29:43We are coming along, too!
00:29:47We are coming along, too!
00:29:57Oh!
00:30:03Lilio!
00:30:04Xena!
00:30:04You three looked like you were in a bad fight.
00:30:06A ferocious battle with a herd of fang ants.
00:30:09What?
00:30:10The dirty rat bastards got us good.
00:30:12Next time I see him, I'll eat those bugs for lunch.
00:30:15Fang ants, huh? Well, that sounds scary.
00:30:18The fang ants weren't the only dubious characters we came across.
00:30:21We also spotted a large unit of were-rat cavalry who crossed the border.
00:30:26Rue's theory, the were-rat riders were the ones who attracted the ants in the first place.
00:30:30This much I know, the commander was wearing a big red helmet.
00:30:33If I ever find that villain, he'll pay at the gallows!
00:30:37Blow, healing breeze!
00:30:40Thank you so much, Xena!
00:30:42I'm glad you're safe. Sato? Sorry, but I have to go help heal the other wounded.
00:30:47Of course!
00:30:52An ant! A dead ant!
00:30:56What are you doing with that, you two?
00:30:59We killed it! It was attacking from above!
00:31:02Be careful. There might be more monsters lurking nearby.
00:31:05Good job.
00:31:07A flying ant. I wonder if this is the same type the border guards fought.
00:31:11Red markers. Incoming!
00:31:14Pochi, Tama!
00:31:15Huh?
00:31:16Get your weapons!
00:31:17Kiki-dokis!
00:31:18Arisa, go get Lulu!
00:31:20On it!
00:31:21Liza, fetch the curtain we used for the bed and get back here fast!
00:31:24Understood, sir.
00:31:26Is something wrong?
00:31:27Don't worry, everything's gonna be just-
00:31:36Monster attack!
00:31:41Flying ants are only level three.
00:31:43They're not strong enough to threaten armed guards, but they've got sharp fangs and hard exoskeletons. Not to mention they
00:31:50can fly.
00:31:51There are more than enough of them to do some substantial damage. I could burn them all into oblivion using
00:31:56fire shot, but that'll draw way too much attention.
00:32:02Those suckers are fast.
00:32:05What the hell?
00:32:06Looks like my protective barrier above the city is doing its part to stave them off.
00:32:11It's not doing its job well enough, I'm afraid.
00:32:13Do you know how much MP I'd have to burn through to create a magic barrier as impenetrable as a
00:32:18physical wall? It's an unbelievable amount!
00:32:21Arisa, take Lulu and go hide in the back of that bar.
00:32:24You got it!
00:32:25Pochi, Tama, protect the inn!
00:32:27Okie-dokies!
00:32:28Master, what will you do?
00:32:30We need to focus our defense on the main entry point. It's time to build a barricade, Liza!
00:32:38Hurry up and get inside!
00:32:41Don't lose heart, men! It's one monster! We've got nothing to fear!
00:32:47You've got a fallen hammer!
00:32:51Fire!
00:32:54You ready?
00:32:56Yes, Master. I always am.
00:33:06We won't let you through, Ant!
00:33:09Sorry, road's closed!
00:33:10Oh, right!
00:33:15That was a close one!
00:33:17Thank you so much, Tama!
00:33:19Forget about it!
00:33:21She sounded just like a movie mobster.
00:33:23Did Arisa teach her that?
00:33:29She must have used psychic magic.
00:33:32Looks like a few of the ants made it inside the building where Nadi works.
00:33:37It's settling outside.
00:33:38Liza, I'll let you take it from here.
00:33:41Alright.
00:33:51Nadi, are you okay?
00:33:53Yes, I think so.
00:33:55The stairs are covered in ant poison.
00:33:57Guess I could smash a rock and use it for footing.
00:34:00IV control!
00:34:04Manager?
00:34:09You saved me, Sato. Thank you.
00:34:14And one for you, too.
00:34:18You're so welcome. I am very grateful, sir.
00:34:22Who's this?
00:34:23He came here looking for a place to rent earlier.
00:34:26And then he saved me from the ants.
00:34:29The fantasy world's most popular race by far. An elf!
00:34:33Is something the matter?
00:34:35Oh, no. It's just I don't think I've ever met someone with green hair.
00:34:39Well, his hair is green because he is an elvish forest spirit.
00:34:42Wait a second. I thought elves had long ears.
00:34:45How rude.
00:34:46Oh, no. That's a different race called the long ears.
00:34:49And don't worry. It happens a lot.
00:34:51And in fact, it always has.
00:34:52Since the first hero called the long ears elves.
00:34:55It's hard to believe, but people have been making that mistake for well over a millennium now.
00:34:59Truth is, elves hate being mistaken for a long ear.
00:35:02Isn't that right, manager, sir?
00:35:04I honestly didn't know.
00:35:06Manager, please forgive me for my ignorance.
00:35:09You're forgiven.
00:35:11You see?
00:35:13Oh, my.
00:35:14We can discuss the housing situation another time.
00:35:18Right. Thank you again for saving me.
00:35:22Crisis averted.
00:35:24Oh, there you are!
00:35:28Are you alright?
00:35:29Yes. So sorry.
00:35:33We're all lucky to have survived that ordeal.
00:35:36Well, I'd better join my fellow guardsmen in town.
00:35:39They'll need me if any bugs slip through our ranks.
00:35:42What a shame. It's your day off and here you are working again.
00:35:45I'm really disappointed that our day together ended the way it did.
00:35:48But even so, it was a lot of fun spending some time with you.
00:35:52I should go. I'm sure there are more coming.
00:35:54I need to be there to help fin them off when they do.
00:35:58Be careful!
00:36:00Bye!
00:36:02Does this slave belong to you, kid?
00:36:05I am back, master.
00:36:07The law says that all persons are required to sell their cores to the city government, sir.
00:36:13One moment.
00:36:15We just need to draw up a receipt first.
00:36:18Give it a look, sir.
00:36:20This will show the number of cores and the amount paid.
00:36:22Oh, yeah. It'll show your name and identification as well.
00:36:26Now look here, kid.
00:36:27I hope you're not insinuating I was gonna steal them.
00:36:30Not at all. But you can never be too careful.
00:36:34You're a good man. But it doesn't matter if you're a holy saint.
00:36:37If you want to purchase my cores, then I'm gonna need a receipt, mister.
00:36:44Good enough for you.
00:36:46Your numbers are wrong, friend.
00:36:49And there's no seal. Let's fix that.
00:36:51Oh, I just forgot is all.
00:36:54These days, everybody's out to make a buck.
00:37:00What a lovely meal!
00:37:03You know what that smell is, girls? Joy! Time to eat meat!
00:37:07Just a little longer, ladies.
00:37:09These two girls are something else, Sato.
00:37:12They're tiny as little teacups, yet they still protected my inn from harm.
00:37:17I can never repay you for your bravery, but I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:37:20Let me get my husband to whip up his best meal and make you a feast you'll never forget.
00:37:25Bless this food!
00:37:28I guess Lulu's not feeling any better.
00:37:36Maybe there's a pharmacy in town.
00:37:39Oh, young master!
00:37:41Aren't you the kid from the labyrinth the other day?
00:37:43Yeah.
00:37:45We're not gonna let our savior walk the streets at night all alone.
00:37:48Come on, let us buy you a drink.
00:37:50Actually, I was heading somewhere.
00:37:52Hey, don't worry, buddy. It's just one drink.
00:37:57Bye-bye! Come see us any time you want!
00:38:01That escalated quickly.
00:38:03I thought they were gonna buy me a beer, not take me to a brothel.
00:38:13A feather of a shadow owl?
00:38:15Maybe Pochi and Tama would like this.
00:38:20Uh...
00:38:25Monsters?
00:38:28Monsters?
00:38:56Are you alright?
00:38:58Who are you?
00:39:00A red helmet.
00:39:04Who are you? Tell me the truth. Are you one of his men?
00:39:08Whose men?
00:39:09Huh? What's this?
00:39:11I won't make it much longer, I'm afraid.
00:39:14Please, take care of the princess.
00:39:18Hang in there!
00:39:33Nadi's status says she's asleep. The manager's too.
00:39:37I have no choice.
00:39:46The manager? Are you going to join me in bed?
00:39:50No. I feel bad for how into that nod he just sounded.
00:39:58Good evening!
00:40:00Sorry to intrude.
00:40:02It's Sato.
00:40:03Is something wrong?
00:40:05I brought someone who knows the manager.
00:40:09He's hurt.
00:40:09I was hoping you would be able to help heal him with a magic spell.
00:40:12He's not a manalite.
00:40:17I recognize that red helmet.
00:40:19I might be mistaken, but from what I've heard, he could be Red Mask, the infamous were-rat knight.
00:40:25Have we met?
00:40:26No. He's not the one I'm referring to.
00:40:29He's not the one I'm referring to.
00:40:29Real...
00:40:35Ah?
00:40:36Ah?
00:40:40I think that's an elf.
00:40:45Mia…
00:40:46Ah, my goodness, it's an elf.
00:41:01Mia.
00:41:09Pretty.
00:41:19We need to get him some help or he's not going to make it.
00:41:22Stay with him. I'll be back as quickly as I possibly can.
00:41:26It's too dangerous to go out at night alone. Let me go with you.
00:41:34You snuck off to a brothel in the middle of the night? Nasty!
00:41:38Why would you pay for services I would gladly give you for free?
00:41:41I am deeply offended, Master.
00:41:44Not cool.
00:41:47A small boy!
00:41:49She's insane.
00:41:53It smells like dog!
00:41:56Tell the truth. Where else did you go?
00:41:59Last night, when I went to get medicine for Lulu, I saved the life of a were-rat night.
00:42:04Hmm. Was it a girl night?
00:42:07Actually, no. If you really want to know, it was an old man.
00:42:10Oh, dear. It's boy love?
00:42:12You were doing God knows what in the forest with a filthy animal.
00:42:16Probably rolling in the mud with a big hunk of man-beast flesh.
00:42:20That sounds fun.
00:42:21Could you stop spouting nonsense?
00:42:23Get dressed. That's an order.
00:42:26Huh?
00:42:27Oh, how are you?
00:42:28Good. I feel better than yesterday, that's for sure.
00:42:32I bought you some meds. You'll be feeling better in no time.
00:42:36Oh, you're very kind, Master.
00:42:38After everyone finishes breakfast, I should probably head to the General Store.
00:42:48Morning, Naughty. How are they doing?
00:42:51Well, at the moment, they're still sleeping.
00:42:54Mia doesn't appear to be injured, but she needs her rest.
00:42:57The poor thing was on the verge of exhaustion.
00:43:00According to the manager, Mia is exhibiting classic symptoms of prolonged MP deprivation.
00:43:09The manager tried multiple forms of magic on her.
00:43:12He tried mana transfer, a practical magic, and he tried stamina charge, a forest magic, but nothing worked.
00:43:19Judging from her titles, I'd say she's probably about 11 years old.
00:43:22She's not cursed or sick, and it seems like her MP is recovering slowly but surely.
00:43:28There's only one way to speed up the process, Sato.
00:43:31A mana potion.
00:43:33But those tonics aren't cheap.
00:43:35We could take her to a place rich with mana, like a ley line intersection or a good mana source.
00:43:40A mana source?
00:43:42Yes, but around these parts, our options are a bit scarce.
00:43:46There's only the Count's Castle in the Valley of the Dragons.
00:43:59I just heard some movement upstairs.
00:44:02I think your guests are awake.
00:44:07Mia, are you feeling okay?
00:44:09Yes.
00:44:10My name is Nari, and I work here.
00:44:12Another elf, Yusutatoya, owns this place, though.
00:44:16Yuya?
00:44:20Man, there.
00:44:23Oh, that's Sato.
00:44:24He saved your life, Mia.
00:44:26You and your friend with the red helmet.
00:44:27Sato?
00:44:28Is it all right if he comes in?
00:44:31Yes.
00:44:33Hi there.
00:44:34I'm Sato, a merchant.
00:44:36It's nice to meet you.
00:44:38A spirit user?
00:44:40No.
00:44:41I don't think I've ever used a spirit before.
00:44:44Can't see them?
00:44:45Are those something people can see?
00:44:47Yes.
00:44:48But spirits are only visible to people who have the gift of spirit sight.
00:44:52That's awesome.
00:44:53I guess spirit sight is rare, even for an elf.
00:44:57Are you hungry, Mia?
00:44:59Yes.
00:45:00I'll go whip up something in the kitchen.
00:45:02Maybe some hot wheat porridge.
00:45:03Sato, would you mind looking after her while I'm gone?
00:45:06Not at all.
00:45:09So, about these spirits.
00:45:12What are they like?
00:45:14Fluffy.
00:45:15Uh, fluffy.
00:45:17Yes.
00:45:18Sparkly.
00:45:19Uh, sparkly?
00:45:22She's not exactly a talker.
00:45:24I need to figure out a way to get her to open up a little bit.
00:45:27Wait, I know.
00:45:29So, Mia, how do you say good morning in Elvish?
00:45:33Taperusa.
00:45:42It was like pulling teeth, but I did manage to pry some info out of her.
00:45:46Apparently, spirits flow along the ley lines subsisting on mana.
00:45:50Sorry for sticking around so long.
00:45:52I should probably get going.
00:45:59Stay.
00:46:08All right!
00:46:09Victory is mine!
00:46:11Oh, man.
00:46:13Arisa wins every time.
00:46:14Mochi, Tama, if the two of you have time to sulk, then you most certainly have time to get better.
00:46:18Arisa's really smart.
00:46:20Hey, wait.
00:46:21The card's from yesterday.
00:46:23Look, you guys, it's master.
00:46:26Having fun, girls?
00:46:27We learned some words.
00:46:29Pretty cool, huh?
00:46:30Yeah, cool!
00:46:32So cool.
00:46:35Quiz time.
00:46:38What's this card say?
00:46:40That one says meat.
00:46:41Nope.
00:46:43Go.
00:46:44And this one?
00:46:45Also meat!
00:46:46Sorry, rabbit.
00:46:50Yes, well, technically they're not wrong, master.
00:46:53All animals are meat in a certain sense of the word.
00:46:56I suppose you're right about that.
00:46:58But the answer is not meat.
00:47:00To get it right, you have to name the actual animal.
00:47:03I understand.
00:47:04This meat is a goat, right?
00:47:06Yeah!
00:47:07And this meat is a bouncy bunny rabbit.
00:47:09Then my card does not mean poultry, but rather the very chicken itself?
00:47:13Huh?
00:47:13How do you write meat, master?
00:47:22Like this.
00:47:24Yuni, I've been looking everywhere for you.
00:47:26I'm sorry about that, Martha.
00:47:28You still behave like a little kid, do you know that?
00:47:31Come, we need to get to work.
00:47:33We have to clean up the stables and replace the hay before it's time for lunch.
00:47:37But, Martha, I already did all that.
00:47:40Huh?
00:47:40Pochi and Tama helped me finish my chores this morning.
00:47:44That's right.
00:47:45We were some cleaning fools.
00:47:47I picked up the horse poo.
00:47:49Wow, girls.
00:47:50I'm impressed.
00:47:51Yeah, we know.
00:47:54A princess under the protection of a were-rat?
00:47:57Oh, master.
00:47:58I want to meet her.
00:47:59I've never heard of a were-rat princess before.
00:48:02Yeah, me neither.
00:48:03How fun.
00:48:05Well, after we finish eating lunch, let's all go say hello then.
00:48:08Sounds like fun.
00:48:10I'm in!
00:48:11All righty!
00:48:12Okie dokie, Smokey!
00:48:14I'm so excited to meet her!
00:48:16Oh, I wish we could go right now!
00:48:18How about it, Lulu?
00:48:20You feeling up to it?
00:48:21We'd love for you to come.
00:48:23Okay.
00:48:26I'll go first!
00:48:28Hello, my name is Arisa.
00:48:30My name is Pochi.
00:48:31I'm Tama.
00:48:35Mia.
00:48:38Wow, she's a pretty princess!
00:48:39I love her hair so much!
00:48:41Master!
00:48:42I don't understand.
00:48:43You said she was a rat girl!
00:48:45No, I didn't.
00:48:46I said she was a princess who was being guarded by a were-rat knight.
00:48:50Mia!
00:48:50It's nice to meet you!
00:48:52Look at your hair!
00:48:53It really is lovely!
00:48:55Can I touch it?
00:48:56I'm gonna head downstairs.
00:48:58Look after Mia for me, okay?
00:49:00Okay!
00:49:01Okie doke, Master!
00:49:02We really like Mia!
00:49:08Stay.
00:49:10Geez, I wonder what's got her so attached.
00:49:17What a relief.
00:49:19All I had for breakfast today was some wheat porridge.
00:49:24Thanks a lot.
00:49:29Remind me, Sato, you're a merchant, aren't you?
00:49:33Uh, yeah.
00:49:34I mean, I guess.
00:49:35I haven't exactly been selling my wares.
00:49:38Why don't you have a cart, then?
00:49:40Well, I had a horse carrying my stuff.
00:49:43But sadly, when that starfall hit, it got spooked and ran away.
00:49:47I'm sorry to hear that.
00:49:49You know, if you can afford it, you should probably purchase one.
00:49:52I would buy a drawn cart.
00:49:54A drawn cart?
00:49:56The manager is friendly with an older merchant who is planning to retire from business soon.
00:50:00If you have any interest, he's going to be selling two horses and a cart as well.
00:50:06I really appreciate the offer, Naughty.
00:50:09But I don't know how to drive one of those.
00:50:11Uh, I, um...
00:50:14Lulu, there's no need to be shy, okay?
00:50:17Yes.
00:50:18Master, I just wanted to tell you that I have some experience driving a one-horse cart.
00:50:23Awesome!
00:50:23Maybe you can teach me, then.
00:50:25Huh?
00:50:26Naughty, tell the manager's contact I'm very interested.
00:50:29That was a snap decision.
00:50:31Don't you want to know about the price, Sato?
00:50:33Oh, yeah.
00:50:34The price.
00:50:35Uh...
00:50:42Not bad.
00:50:43I think I'll buy one after all.
00:50:46Here, take this.
00:50:47Let's just say this is as much as I'm willing to pay.
00:50:50Whatever's left over, you can keep as a thank you tip.
00:50:53Oh, my.
00:50:55That was probably a little too generous on my part.
00:50:58I'm a terrible merchant.
00:51:09This is a perfect spot for camping lessons, don't you think, girls?
00:51:13Yeah!
00:51:14Let's get these!
00:51:22You want us to win?
00:51:24Don't worry, we got this!
00:51:29Look how close are we, Abby?
00:51:40Check it out, girls!
00:51:42We're all stocked up!
00:51:49Try a kettle!
00:51:57It's weird, right?
00:51:59Yeah!
00:52:07The kettle is really mad at us!
00:52:09He's about to blow his top!
00:52:11The kettle man is super scary!
00:52:12The kettle man!
00:52:15Relax.
00:52:16It's nothing.
00:52:17Just a whistle to let you know the water is boiling.
00:52:19He seems pretty mad.
00:52:21How come he doesn't just say, hey, I'm about to boil?
00:52:23It's not a he, it's an it.
00:52:25The water gets so hot in there, it turns to vapor.
00:52:28Huh?
00:52:29What are you, some kind of science teacher, nerd?
00:52:32They're just kids.
00:52:33You can't possibly expect them to understand that water gets 1,000 times bigger when it boils.
00:52:37Don't you mean 1,600 times bigger, Arisa?
00:52:42Look, girls.
00:52:45Water turns into a white smoke called steam, but only when it gets really hot.
00:52:50The hotter it gets, the stronger the steam.
00:52:52That's what causes the lid to move like that.
00:52:55Look.
00:52:59Just like you create force when you blow out air, the water creates force when it turns to steam and
00:53:04rises up.
00:53:05She's so awesome!
00:53:07You're a genius, Arisa!
00:53:14Tama!
00:53:14Do the rolly roll!
00:53:16It's rolly roll time!
00:53:19Tama!
00:53:20Way to go!
00:53:23You're quite the rolly roller, Tama!
00:53:26Aren't they?
00:53:33This is for the grilled chicken you gave us.
00:53:36You were kind, thank you.
00:53:38It was very yummy, too.
00:53:40What's this?
00:53:41Present for you, fresh fruit.
00:53:43What are you guys doing?
00:53:44You guys get away from our master right now!
00:53:47Calm down.
00:53:48They were just giving me some food as a thank you gift for a kindness I paid them.
00:53:51Yeah.
00:53:56This is a sea nut, master!
00:53:58It's really yummy.
00:54:00Is this a cuckoo berry?
00:54:02It's my favorite treat!
00:54:04Give back!
00:54:05It is for him!
00:54:06I have to take it.
00:54:07They went to all this trouble.
00:54:09But something tells me they need the fruit way more than I do.
00:54:12I know.
00:54:15I'll gladly accept this gift.
00:54:17But I do have one small request.
00:54:19See this jerky?
00:54:21We have so much we can't eat at all.
00:54:23Would you take some, please?
00:54:25Me!
00:54:27So kind.
00:54:29You sure?
00:54:30Yes.
00:54:31You'd be helping me out.
00:54:33Thank you!
00:54:34Thank you!
00:54:35Thank you!
00:54:42You are now officially the owner of this cart, Sato.
00:54:45Thank you, Nari.
00:54:48We can definitely carry a lot more stuff this way.
00:54:51Say!
00:54:51Why don't we use our brand new cart to take sweet Mia back home?
00:54:54Hold on.
00:54:55Home?
00:54:56Where is home to Mia anyway?
00:54:58The elf village.
00:54:59It's just southeast of the Shiga kingdom.
00:55:02I see.
00:55:05Well, we should talk it over with the manager when he gets back.
00:55:08Before we do anything else, though, I need to learn how to drive this cart.
00:55:12I'm counting on you, Lulu.
00:55:14Mm-hmm.
00:55:22Pretty weather today.
00:55:24Oh, yes.
00:55:25It's pretty indeed.
00:55:27You know there's no need to be nervous, right?
00:55:29I know that you're shy, but it's cool.
00:55:32You can relax around me like Pochi and Tama do.
00:55:36Oh, no.
00:55:37I am a slave master.
00:55:38It's important that I keep my place.
00:55:40I tried, but she's about as forthcoming as the elf princess.
00:55:44I think I know a topic that'll make her come out of her shell.
00:55:53Arisa's great.
00:55:54She's the best sister of all time.
00:55:56People always talk eventually.
00:55:58They just need the right subject.
00:56:01You really love your sister a lot, don't you?
00:56:04Yes.
00:56:05I bet if you didn't know, you'd think I was the younger sibling.
00:56:08Yeah.
00:56:09Can't believe she's just eleven.
00:56:11She's been a prodigy ever since we were both little girls.
00:56:14I wonder if Arisa told Lulu she has memories from her past life.
00:56:19Did no one else imagine before?
00:56:20No one had to teach her that stuff either.
00:56:22She just knew things.
00:56:23How about we move on to the cart lesson, Lulu?
00:56:25Oh, sorry.
00:56:26When I talk about my sister, I blab.
00:56:55Must be hard for her.
00:57:22Um, sir, is something the matter?
00:57:25I'm fine.
00:57:27It's just I saw a big bird in the trees and got distracted.
00:57:30Sorry.
00:57:36Master, you came back to us!
00:57:38We missed you so much!
00:57:40We're very glad you didn't die.
00:57:45Hello.
00:57:46Mia, you're up?
00:57:47You sure you should be out of bed?
00:57:49Yes.
00:57:50Use potions.
00:57:51The manager brought Mia some magic potions and they helped her a lot.
00:57:55I don't know what kind they were, but they got the job done right.
00:57:58I'm glad you're feeling better.
00:58:00Oh, thank you.
00:58:03Your hair looks cool.
00:58:05It suits you.
00:58:06Oh, since she's on the road to recovery, let's eat something delicious for dinner to celebrate!
00:58:11Great idea.
00:58:12What sounds good, Mia?
00:58:14Honey buns.
00:58:15Uh, honey buns?
00:58:16Ever since Pochi and Tama told her how delectable honey buns are, the poor thing can't stop talking about them.
00:58:22Honey buns are so good!
00:58:24I'd eat them every single day of my life!
00:58:26Seems to me the right thing to do is to get these deers some honey buns!
00:58:30Don't you mean you want some for yourself?
00:58:32Well, Lisa, Lulu, let's do this thing!
00:58:36Right.
00:58:36We're on it.
00:58:38Bye!
00:58:39See you later!
00:58:40Be safe!
00:58:47What's the matter?
00:58:48Uh, that's a weird bird.
00:58:50It's the one I saw before.
00:58:58Guess who's back!
00:59:00Sato!
00:59:00I was hoping you would drop by.
00:59:02The manager and Mize are having a little talk.
00:59:05Mize?
00:59:10Sato.
00:59:11Sato, my good sir.
00:59:13Are you the human who saved my life?
00:59:16Mize, the were-rat knight.
00:59:21Now, I can finally get the answers I've been waiting for.
00:59:26Mize was kidnapped from her quiet elf village by a band of wizards.
00:59:29She was imprisoned in a place called The Cradle.
00:59:33Luckily, she was able to escape.
00:59:35On the run, she bumped into Mize.
00:59:38They made for Saryu City, hoping to meet up with the manager.
00:59:42The wizards who kidnapped Mia were furious, so they sent the flying ants to attack the city.
00:59:51We don't know why Mia was kidnapped exactly, but the manager seems to have an idea.
01:00:01However, since he doesn't appear inclined to share, I'll leave well enough alone.
01:00:06Oh, yeah, I almost forgot.
01:00:09I need to talk to him about escorting Mia back home.
01:00:18Nadi!
01:00:19Home manager.
01:00:22No bad guys around.
01:00:26I see.
01:00:28They're scared of thunder.
01:00:30Why is the lightning man so scary?
01:00:32A flash, then a boom!
01:00:34Then a terrifying darkness!
01:00:36It's blitz-treason, too!
01:00:38Lightning is dangerous.
01:00:39I know this.
01:00:41Aze told me.
01:00:43Even big dragons get knocked out of the sky by a lightning strike.
01:00:46They shake the ground when they land.
01:00:48Aze?
01:00:50Are you scared of lightning, too?
01:00:52Duh!
01:00:53Who isn't?
01:00:57Tama, what's wrong?
01:00:59What's wrong?
01:01:25He's here!
01:01:32Psychic magic?
01:01:37This power, it's overwhelming.
01:01:44Arisa's fighting back.
01:01:48There, the resistance skill.
01:01:54Zen?
01:01:55Zen? Where have I heard that name before?
01:02:00The hero from that play.
01:02:03I have come to retrieve you.
01:02:08Mia.
01:02:13Mr. Sorcerer Man. Glad to meet you.
01:02:17My name's Sato. I'm a merchant.
01:02:25I have no need for a simple merchant. I'll admit I'm amazed you can hold your ground unshaken while withstanding
01:02:33my power. It's impressive, even for a hero's descendant.
01:02:38Wait, a hero's descendant?
01:02:40My intention was to let you live, but defy me and I will show no mercy.
01:02:47I'm not really the violent type, sir, but Mia's my friend. If you think I'll let you steal her away,
01:02:54you're a bigger fool than you look. I think it's time for you to leave.
01:02:58You're the fool. If you want to protect Mia, you'll do so by force. I am not interested in making
01:03:05peace, only in achieving my purpose here.
01:03:11Well, have it your way, then.
01:03:25This guy can control shadows.
01:03:28Impressive. Are you a merchant? Or a martial artist? Either way, for someone at your level, it's quite impressive.
01:03:36I'm impressed, too. I never met a sorcerer who can move shadows. So we're even.
01:03:41In spite of your doom, you run your mouth still. What a courageous spirit.
01:03:46Get your damn hands off my master, you queen!
01:03:51A wraith!
01:03:52How dare you insult me, slave? I am no wraith. No low-level undead minion.
01:03:57I am.
01:04:02This ought to do the trick.
01:04:11No. No, it's simply not possible.
01:04:15Nothing in this world should be able to interact with the power of my shadow whip except a magic item.
01:04:22We can beat this guy.
01:04:25No. Just run.
01:04:29You really think I'd leave you behind and run away?
01:04:31I'm not trying to protect you because we're friends.
01:04:34I'm doing it because my master wants to keep you safe.
01:04:37What my master wants, my master gets. Always.
01:04:40Yes, but...
01:04:41There are no buts about it. We're saving you, Mia, no matter what you say.
01:04:45Is she about to use magic?
01:04:47Hold on.
01:04:50Sorcerer.
01:04:51You already know who we are. It's only fair for you to tell us, too.
01:04:57Although, it's pretty obvious already. The highest rank of the undead. An undead king.
01:05:04Hmm. You say you're a merchant, yet you fight like a martial artist, and now you wield that like a
01:05:10veteran gunman.
01:05:11Oh, I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve.
01:05:14Yes, indeed you do, Sato.
01:05:17Shall we add hero to your many identities?
01:05:20Master, quickly! Jump out of the way!
01:05:23Huh?
01:05:24Ah!
01:05:32Ah!
01:05:34Ah!
01:05:38Ah!
01:05:39Ah!
01:05:41Ah!
01:05:43Ah!
01:05:43That was certainly a close one.
01:05:45To think she'd have a unique skill.
01:05:48And that hair color.
01:05:50It seems you're reincarnated as well.
01:05:56I tried, Master.
01:06:00It's not working at all.
01:06:02Strength beyond one's capacity brings only ruin.
01:06:05If you would keep her from becoming a plaything for the gods, then you should keep her from using that
01:06:10unique skill.
01:06:11Thanks for the advice, pal.
01:06:13You're quite welcome. I shall take my leave now.
01:06:20It's useless.
01:06:21To defeat one who has transcended nature, you must possess the means to defy the laws of nature itself.
01:06:28Mia!
01:06:29If you truly have no fear of death, then visit the cradle.
01:06:33It would give me immense pleasure to see you push your wisdom and courage to their limits in an attempt
01:06:38to strike me down.
01:06:41Master!
01:06:41Are you hurt?
01:06:42No, I'm okay. The others need your help now. Go get Xena as quickly as you can.
01:06:48Mia's in trouble. I have to follow them and bring her back!
01:07:07My stamina is starting to drain a little bit at a time.
01:07:10Mia, where is she?
01:07:24I'm coming, Mia!
01:07:26I'm coming, Mia!
01:07:26I'm coming, Mia!
01:07:36I'm coming, Mia!
01:07:43I'm coming, Mia!
01:07:49No. No, it's simply not possible.
01:07:52How did you manage to escape the abyss of my shadow prison? Against the daunting oppression of its endless nothingness,
01:07:59you should have been powerless.
01:08:01What a weirdo. I can never tell if he's shocked or impressed with me.
01:08:06Well, I keep a small amulet. So your magic doesn't work.
01:08:11Trials must be administered with fairness. There are no grounds for cheating.
01:08:16Only someone who has conquered the cradle should have the ability to reach this room. Those are the rules.
01:08:22What are you, the game master?
01:08:24You insult me. My cradle is milk game. It is a formidable test. Only a proper hero can conquer its
01:08:31power and reach this room.
01:08:33Only a hero with true substance can do battle with the undead king.
01:08:37Is he trying to say I don't have the goods?
01:08:41As long as I bear the gift of God's blessing, I can never perish from this world.
01:08:48I gotta get Mia out of here fast.
01:08:52Nice try. But if you want to get to the end, you must first start at the beginning.
01:09:03Oh boy. This sucks.
01:09:21You insult me. My cradle is no game. It is a formidable test.
01:09:27The cradle? He should have called it the big-ass tree. I'm guessing Mia is somewhere inside.
01:09:34Wow. This place is right next to Count Seru's territory. That's good news. After I get to the top and
01:09:41rescue Mia, getting home won't be a guessing game.
01:09:53What is this? Looks like there's an explanation in Elvish.
01:09:58Caution. As this is an institute for Elvish martial training, the life support mechanisms will only work on other elves.
01:10:05There are no restrictions upon whom may enter the training grounds, but do so at your own peril.
01:10:11The management here is not responsible for any injury or loss of property incurred during use. Weird.
01:10:21Going in is a risky move, but Mia needs my help so I don't have a choice.
01:10:31Uh-oh. Looks like I got company.
01:10:39This place is no joke. There are 200 floors.
01:10:43They're arranged in groups of 10. Every 20 floors, a massive spiral staircase stretches upward.
01:10:49There are monsters stationed in front of each access point to the stairway.
01:10:54If I had to guess, I'd bet they get stronger the higher you get.
01:10:58Compared to the Devil's Labyrinth under Seru City, this cradle feels a lot more like a traditional gaming experience.
01:11:05It's crazy. It's exactly what someone who's a fan of RPGs for home consoles would come up with.
01:11:11In that case, I should focus on the first 10 floors to keep an eye out for monsters.
01:11:19There.
01:11:21Stop hiding and come out!
01:11:25Shut up, you dumb dumb!
01:11:33I'm super annoyed because I don't have enough MP.
01:11:36Perfect. If I defeat her, she'll be forced to open up a passageway to the upper floors and I'll get
01:11:41to the top faster.
01:11:42If a classic dungeon crawler fan designed this place, there's bound to be a portal set up or a shortcut
01:11:47gimmick around here somewhere.
01:11:49Sorry, I'm too tired to fight.
01:11:51I don't really see how that's my problem.
01:11:55Listen here, you big jerk! Back off or I'll tell Toya on you!
01:12:04Oh no!
01:12:06Be mine forever, human!
01:12:09I'm flattered, but if you want to propose, you're going to have to wait 14 to 15 years.
01:12:13I'm starving! I want some food!
01:12:17Well, I do have a little jerky.
01:12:19Not human food! I want MP! Right now!
01:12:23Sorry, but I need the MP for myself.
01:12:25It only hurts for a little bit. You'll feel much better after, I swear!
01:12:29Smooches!
01:12:35I feel better!
01:12:37That wasn't your fault, Sato. Think of it like a bee sting.
01:12:41I don't want that title. Can I give it back maybe?
01:12:44As thanks, I'll open up the corridor for you!
01:12:48It's all yours!
01:12:52Huh?
01:12:54Trasa Yuya's room.
01:12:57Alrighty then, here goes nothing.
01:13:00Uh, thank you?
01:13:04A laboratory?
01:13:08I'm guessing this Trasa Yuya character created the cradle?
01:13:12Is that who the Dryad was talking about when she said Toya?
01:13:16We elves have such a slight attachment to life.
01:13:20When faced with life or death situations, strangely, we have little will to struggle.
01:13:25Because of that weakness, many of our young have died within the labyrinth.
01:13:29The cradle was created for one purpose.
01:13:32To instill in elvenkind a strong will to survive even in the face of grave danger.
01:13:39It seems that in a hundred years no one has forgotten about my greatest failure.
01:13:45Soon my long life will come to an end at last.
01:13:48As such, I will seal this place away until the day my fellow elves find it useful.
01:13:54I have faith that elves will once again lead the many races of this world.
01:13:59Trasa Yuya Bolinan.
01:14:01He's of the same lineage as Mia and the manager.
01:14:05That's why this place needs her.
01:14:07Well, too bad!
01:14:09Oh, Joy! Welcome back!
01:14:12Hey, I'm looking for a little help here.
01:14:14Is there a portal?
01:14:16Sure is! All you have to do is stand in the middle of that fairy ring.
01:14:19Where exactly do you want to go?
01:14:22The top floor. I need to see the cradle master.
01:14:25That's not going to happen, buddy. No way!
01:14:28Fine, just set me up as high as you can.
01:14:31Okay! That'd be floor 100, the guardian knight's chamber.
01:14:35Be careful, the guardian on that floor is pretty tough.
01:14:38Thanks, I'll be fine.
01:14:39Here we go!
01:14:43Activate! The marker is floor 100, the guardian knight's chamber.
01:14:51Actual.
01:15:11Before we fight, I need a moment, please.
01:15:23Aren't homunculi supposed to be some sort of artificial intelligence made through the power of alchemy?
01:15:28If that face is any indication, I'm pretty sure these models were based on Mia.
01:15:35My congratulations on making it this far, Voyager.
01:15:38I guess she doesn't know I cheated.
01:15:40Thanks, but I'm just a merchant.
01:15:45A merchant?
01:15:49Brave Voyager, congratulations on making it this far.
01:15:52I heard you before.
01:15:54If you wish to continue onward, you must first defeat the mighty Guardian who protects these chamber walls.
01:15:59All victors will be granted recompense from our most noble and gallant master.
01:16:04I feel like I'm watching an elementary school play.
01:16:07Now approach, Iron Golem. The battle commences. Show him no mercy.
01:16:14Number 7. Number 6. Use body strengthening and split up. We'll flank him on both sides.
01:16:23E-M-E-T-H. Isn't that Hebrew?
01:16:37It's just like in the famous tale of the Golem.
01:16:40He figured out the Guardian's weakness. This is why I suggested we not leave a conspicuous clue written on his
01:16:46helmet.
01:16:46Upon further reflection, that does seem like an obvious mistake.
01:16:50Number 5. And number 6. I'll handle things here. You two make a run for it while you still can.
01:16:57Oh, number 7. I swear your bravery on this day shall never be forgotten.
01:17:02I concur with number 5. Only in lieu of the phrase make a run for it, I would say commence
01:17:07retreat.
01:17:08I guess the one with the side buns is the editor bot?
01:17:14Fire! Strike now!
01:17:32What am I supposed to do now? I can't just gut punch an AI lady and leave her all on
01:17:37her own.
01:17:39No, that's wrong.
01:17:41So wrong.
01:17:47There are all kinds of weapons and potions here. Pretty pricey stuff, too. I'll help myself.
01:17:54Master.
01:17:59Master. Sorry I failed you.
01:18:04Master!
01:18:12Master.
01:18:12Master.
01:18:13Master.
01:18:16Master.
01:18:17Oh, wow. This looks like the room the dryad was in.
01:18:24Master.
01:18:30Maybe this will help get her back to 100% again.
01:18:35Wilder!
01:18:36Wilder!
01:18:37Wilder.
01:18:39Wilder.
01:18:42Ah! Now, hand over the MP!
01:18:51You gave some to the other me that was down below.
01:18:54There's another you?
01:18:55Yes, they're all me. You humans are weird, the way you're all separate individuals.
01:19:00Plant and spirit folk like me, we're all connected.
01:19:03Though we lose contact when we're low on MP.
01:19:07Hey, would you be willing to help me get to the top?
01:19:10Yeah, sure. Just give me one second.
01:19:17It would seem the line connecting us has been severed.
01:19:21Sorry, right now you can only get up to the 180th floor.
01:19:24Oh, thanks. That's great.
01:19:26You got it, pal!
01:19:33Oh, gross. I think bugs ate through the connection.
01:19:45The next staircase is ahead.
01:19:53Oh, that was intense.
01:20:08I never imagined you would make it this far in such a short period of time.
01:20:13Same here. I'll make you a deal, Skeletor. Hand over the girl and you live.
01:20:19No. You may have earned the right to fight me by making it here.
01:20:22But I'm afraid you lack the credentials to face me.
01:20:25If you truly wish to claim the title of hero, there is one more challenge you must overcome first.
01:20:31You will fight a dangerous enemy. An enemy you have no chance of defeating.
01:20:35Your reward will be this once lost ancient sword, Yalar Horn.
01:20:40Dangling a carrot for me, are ya?
01:20:43Indeed. If you were to hand over this coveted sword to any king, he would reward you with glory beyond
01:20:49your wildest imagination.
01:20:51I can't figure out what his angle is.
01:20:53It's time for you to meet your opponent's merchant warrior.
01:21:02Seven homunculi. I see two of the ones from before, numbers five and six. But where's number seven? She's not
01:21:10here.
01:21:11A true hero lives outside the boundaries of safety. He exists beyond the fine line between life and death. Thus,
01:21:19allow me to bestow you all with God's miraculous blessing.
01:21:27Some kind of buff magic?
01:21:32Oh no.
01:21:33I do hope to see a suitable battle to the dead.
01:21:41Nia!
