00:00:01An Akuma, huh?

00:00:03That us talk probably means there's more where she came from than there's that strange space.

00:00:09I've got a lot to figure out, but not right now.

00:00:26Mother Goddess, please lend me your healing hand.

00:00:30Lesser Heal.

00:00:35Thanks so much, Eto. I appreciate it.

00:00:37You're quite welcome.

00:00:39I gotta say, that was a pretty close call.

00:00:41It certainly doesn't bode well. There shouldn't be goblin archers on the fifth layer. That's highly unusual.

00:00:48I say we head back to the surface for today. We already made more than we usually do, even if

00:00:53we split it three ways.

00:00:54Huh? So now we're just going to leave?

00:00:56Don't think I want to push it. My motto is, staying alive is our foremost duty, so let's keep that

00:01:02in mind.

00:01:02I bet you got that motto from Abel.

00:01:05Well, it's obvious that our number one priority is staying alive.

00:01:08Well, you've got a point there.

00:01:11Leonor. It sure would have been nice if we...

00:01:18Leonor impressed me yesterday. Her magic's the real deal.

00:01:23But thankfully, in terms of conjuring speed, I kept up with her.

00:01:28I'll need to expand my strengths, and shore up my weaknesses until they're no longer weaknesses.

00:01:34But that'll take time.

00:01:36Then there's the fact that she moves so fast.

00:01:39She was able to close in on me like lightning.

00:01:41Probably due to her wind magic, huh?

00:01:44I'm actually a little jealous of it.

00:01:46No. I know better than to envy what I'll never have.

00:01:50I wonder how I can use my water magic to move even faster.

00:01:54The first spell that comes to mind is water jet.

00:01:56How would that work?

00:01:58I've used it under water to get to the surface before.

00:02:01But as for using it on land...

00:02:07Go, ice pod!

00:02:14Let's see.

00:02:15Now to blast the jets from points along my back.

00:02:18Water jet!

00:02:19Two-fifty-six!

00:02:33Oh, man!

00:02:35Well, we'll just call that one a work in progress.

00:02:40Maybe I need one thousand twenty-four jets of water.

00:02:43That might do the trick.

00:02:44I better get going.

00:02:45I want to go to the library and do some more research on Akumas and alchemy.

00:02:58There's nothing helpful in the Forbidden Spellbooks, either.

00:03:02I don't know why I thought there would be.

00:03:04Of course I can't find evidence of magic capable of conjuring thick ice walls midair

00:03:09or ice sphere strong enough to pierce wyvern defenses.

00:03:12Not even Master Hilarion could manage that energy.

00:03:14He'd have to be using original magic to pull it off.

00:03:18And even if he was capable of that,

00:03:20he would have to be as strong as the Inferno Magician.

00:03:24Why, Lin?

00:03:25It's good to see you again.

00:03:27Oh, Sarah!

00:03:29Likewise.

00:03:30How unusual to find you in here, much less looking through those tomes.

00:03:34I was trying to look something up.

00:03:36But I never did find what I was searching for.

00:03:39I see.

00:03:40That seems a real shame.

00:03:43Hey, Sarah, can I ask...

00:03:46What's wrong, Lin?

00:03:49Oh, it's nothing.

00:03:51I'm surprised to see you.

00:03:53I thought you left Loon to take a quest for the royal capital.

00:03:56I did.

00:03:56I only arrived back in town yesterday.

00:03:59Oh, and I'm so sorry,

00:04:01but I've already got an envoy waiting on me.

00:04:03See you soon, I hope.

00:04:14M-m-m-m-miss Nina!

00:04:16You look l-l-lovely today!

00:04:18So glad to see you three!

00:04:20Didn't expect you back so soon!

00:04:22Well, there's a good reason for that.

00:04:24Can we show you something?

00:04:27This certainly is magic stone from goblin archers.

00:04:31But there have been no reports of them on the fifth lair for years now.

00:04:34That's what we all thought.

00:04:36We decided to make you aware of it as soon as we could.

00:04:39I'll inform the guildmaster at once.

00:04:41And I'll post a notice on the board right away.

00:04:45Thank you for keeping us informed.

00:04:47We appreciate it.

00:04:48Oh, wait, Nina.

00:04:50Come on, Amun.

00:04:51We need to sell this magic stone.

00:04:53Right.

00:04:59They saw goblin archers on the fifth lair.

00:05:02But they're not supposed to be in any lair above the tenth, right?

00:05:05That's correct, sir.

00:05:07I'm afraid this could be some sort of omen.

00:05:09How many B-rank parties are here in town?

00:05:12The Crimson Sword and White Brigade are both available.

00:05:15Is Phelps present to lead his brigade's forces?

00:05:18Yes.

00:05:19They returned from an excursion two days ago, so they're still here.

00:05:22Good.

00:05:23Then summon both the Crimson Sword and the White Brigade for me at once.

00:05:28I'll make the offer right here in this office.

00:05:32You said the Brigade's coming, too?

00:05:34I never know how to deal with them.

00:05:37How can you say that after all this time?

00:05:39Besides, aren't you two childhood acquaintances or something?

00:05:42Ugh, I swear.

00:05:44Honestly, Abel, all you ever do is complain.

00:05:46You really should try following Warren's example.

00:05:57Pardon us, sir.

00:06:06Oh, hello there.

00:06:08Phelps, it's always a pleasure to see you.

00:06:11Same stiff greeting every time with you, huh, Abel?

00:06:16I want to thank both the Crimson Sword and the White Brigade for joining me.

00:06:21I'm sure the clerk has already given you the gist of things, but goblin archers have been spotted on the

00:06:27fifth layer of the dungeon.

00:06:28Not good.

00:06:29How sure of this are you?

00:06:31One hundred percent.

00:06:33The adventurers who encountered them came back with their magic stone.

00:06:36And as you know, you can't fake that.

00:06:39I see.

00:06:40It's good intel, then.

00:06:42So, how do you want us to help?

00:06:44Is there something specific we can do?

00:06:46There is.

00:06:47I want the Crimson Sword and White Brigade to go down into the dungeon.

00:06:51And check for any signs that another great title boar is coming.

00:06:55That doesn't sound good.

00:06:56It sounds like a pain.

00:06:59It's when the monster population suddenly goes out of control.

00:07:02It's been about ten years since the last one.

00:07:05And that means at any moment we could be due for another.

00:07:08I see.

00:07:09So goblin archers appearing on the upper layers could very well be an early portent of another great title boar?

00:07:15Correct.

00:07:16Here's a hundred gold coins in advance.

00:07:18And another two hundred each after you get back.

00:07:22Gilmas, just so we're all clear, all we have to do is check if it's coming or not?

00:07:26Yeah. I need to know how much time we have to prepare.

00:07:30What do we do if it's already here?

00:07:32Should you confirm that, return to the surface post-haste.

00:07:35We'll abandon the dungeon entrance immediately and set up on the double walls in a joint operation between the guild

00:07:41and regional knights.

00:07:42I've already notified the lord of this quest and made him aware of my plans for defensive action as well.

00:07:48That's quite an involved plan.

00:07:50Almost like you believe the boar is already underway.

00:07:52I don't think you can ever be too prepared.

00:07:55And we'll need all the forces we can muster if this is the great title boar.

00:07:59When should we depart?

00:08:00I'll need you in that dungeon first thing tomorrow morning.

00:08:03We've already put a notice on the board saying the dungeon is a no-go in the meantime.

00:08:08I know this is a challenging situation.

00:08:11That's why I need both parties to accept.

00:08:15Of course.

00:08:16You can count on the crimson sword.

00:08:18We accept.

00:08:19White Brigade's imp.

00:08:21Master, we also accept.

00:08:29I'm beat.

00:08:31Wait, are you already headed out for the day?

00:08:33I was thinking of visiting the north side library, so I thought I'd give myself some time.

00:08:37Why that one?

00:08:38I've heard it has a wider selection of obscure works.

00:08:41The south side library is meant for the general public, and I want to peruse some books on advanced alchemy

00:08:46and whatnot.

00:08:47Whatnot really being alchemas?

00:08:49That makes sense.

00:08:51The north side location sounds perfect for you, then.

00:08:53I'm fairly certain that only D-rank adventurers can enter it, but you should be set for that.

00:08:58I've always heard rumors about that place.

00:09:01You think it's true they have forbidden texts?

00:09:03I hope so!

00:09:04Yeah, well, keep dreaming, because you need to be B-ranked to read them.

00:09:08Aw, that's pretty lame.

00:09:11Listen, if I know you, you'll be qualified soon enough, Rio.

00:09:14Well, we'd better get ready to go ourselves.

00:09:17Are you going to hit the dungeon again today, Nils?

00:09:20Yeah, that's the big plan.

00:09:23Good luck down there.

00:09:24I hope you find what you're looking for.

00:09:27Have a safe trip, Rio!

00:09:29I'll see you soon.

00:09:45Take this.

00:09:55This is a lot smaller than the south side library, but this place just feels special.

00:10:05It's so elegant, but I should probably get help finding what I need.

00:10:10Otherwise, I might get lost wandering around in here.

00:10:14I bet they'll look at me like I'm crazy if I tell them I'm here to learn about Akamas.

00:10:39Hello, Phelps.

00:10:41Good day to you.

00:10:42Abel, same to you.

00:10:44You've only brought 20?

00:10:45Yes, around half of the brigade made it.

00:10:49No one under C-Ranks prepared to face this sort of danger.

00:10:52Smart move.

00:10:54Well, is everyone prepared then?

00:10:57If so, let's get going.

00:10:59Hold on a sec.

00:11:00Is something the matter, Abel?

00:11:06I just got a bad feeling about what's in there.

00:11:09Lynn, can you use probe to check out the first layer for me, please?

00:11:12Yes, of course.

00:11:16Bring me the pulse and existence of life.

00:11:19Carry the truth upon the wind.

00:11:21Probe!

00:11:30This is bad.

00:11:32I'm getting multiple readings at the entrance, and I'm talking more than a few hundred hits.

00:11:36Darn, I was afraid of that.

00:11:38That means the great tidal war is nearly upon us already.

00:11:41I can't believe it.

00:11:42Everyone, pull back.

00:11:44Alert the guild, and get word out to the knights.

00:11:46We'll be long till the monsters rush out.

00:11:53This notice says no one's allowed in the dungeon for any reason.

00:11:56I bet it has something to do with those goblin archers.

00:12:00Maybe it's a lot more serious than we imagined.

00:12:02The great tidal war is coming!

00:12:04This is an emergency.

00:12:05The monsters are surfacing.

00:12:06It's a high-priority quest.

00:12:08Position yourselves above the dungeon's first wall and attack.

00:12:11Hurry!

00:12:12We need help now!

00:12:21And so we meet again, huh?

00:12:24Am I to assume you must be a local adventurer, then?

00:12:32You have to be to get in here.

00:12:34My name's Sarah.

00:12:35Oh, right!

00:12:36Um, Ryo, adventurer.

00:12:38You know, I had an overwhelming feeling we'd meet again, and now here we are.

00:12:41Huh?

00:12:43Would you be visiting the library looking for something in particular?

00:12:46Yes, actually.

00:12:48Mostly, for books about Aku...

00:12:50Sorry, I mean I'm looking for some books on alchemy.

00:12:53That's an unusual subject to be studying.

00:12:56It's really not a big deal.

00:12:58But in the end, I'm hoping to create my own golem of sorts.

00:13:02You are?

00:13:03That's a rather grand ambition, wouldn't you say?

00:13:07Unfortunately, I don't think any of the books in this library specifically contain information on golem craft.

00:13:12But there are a few that could help show you the way if you're looking for new ideas.

00:13:19Follow me.

00:13:20I know where most everything is in this place.

00:13:23Oh, if you wouldn't mind.

00:13:25Not at all.

00:13:33So, do you like books, Ryo?

00:13:35Yes.

00:13:36I used to read all the time.

00:13:38Though, honestly, I haven't been around them in ages.

00:13:41So getting to wander around a place like this feels quite nostalgic for me.

00:13:45Nostalgic, huh?

00:13:46You make it sound like it's been decades, and yet you look so young.

00:13:49Oh, I mean, well, enough about me.

00:13:53You're an elf, aren't you, Sarah?

00:13:55Yes, I am.

00:13:56And furthermore, I'm an adventurer based here in Loon, much like yourself.

00:14:00I belong to a B-rank party called Wind.

00:14:03Although, I'm actually the sole member.

00:14:06A friend of mine recently mentioned that there was only one elf in all of Loon.

00:14:10They're right.

00:14:11You don't find too many elves living in human settlements.

00:14:14But here I am.

00:14:15I suppose I might be a bit of an oddball.

00:14:18But it's thanks to that I got to meet you.

00:14:22And I'm grateful that I did.

00:14:30I believe they're down this way.

00:14:32Come, let's look for them.

00:15:07Commence the attack!

00:15:08We don't let numbers down in reach!

00:15:10Keep those arrows, it's no stopping!

00:15:34Get in position!

00:15:36We'll keep the northern side secure, men!

00:15:38Our great Loon's knights are here, too!

00:15:41Well, heck, I'm sure glad I had that meeting with Commander Neville yesterday.

00:15:52But still...

00:15:57Just look at all of them.

00:16:02There were nowhere near this many of them last time.

00:16:15We're in for a long battle!

00:16:17Make sure you're all staying hydrated!

00:16:20Right now, we're only dealing with goblins and goblin archers!

00:16:24Stay on your toes, men!

00:16:26Lane, we're nowhere close to done yet!

00:16:28Conserve your mana!

00:16:30Heard loud and clear!

00:16:32That said, if you happen to know any spells that would clear them all out, catch the blade!

00:16:37You know that I don't!

00:16:38You'll make me spell that out to you!

00:16:40Oh no!

00:16:41We're out of arrows!

00:16:44Here, sir!

00:16:46Master!

00:16:46We requisitioned arrows from every weapon store in town!

00:16:49Good work!

00:16:50Now hurry up and distribute them!

00:16:51Here's some more arrows, Abel!

00:16:53Is that you, Nils?

00:16:54I appreciate the help!

00:16:56I've got a message from the Guildmaster for you, too.

00:16:58There should be a big one waiting behind the Horde.

00:17:01The Crimson Sword will be taking it on, so make sure everyone's prepared to fight.

00:17:04That make sense?

00:17:06Yeah, it does.

00:17:07I figured as much.

00:17:09The message is received.

00:17:10Okay.

00:17:11Good luck to you all.

00:17:28It should be time.

00:17:30Now, White Brigade and Crimson Sword!

00:17:33Prepare to descend!

00:17:35Time to take these things out!

00:17:37Oh, wind, become the gentle wings that let us land safely.

00:17:41Wind wings!

00:17:50Please, oh Earth, become our shield and protect us against all evil.

00:17:54Rise up, Clay Wall!

00:18:08A goblin general, huh?

00:18:10This will be over once he's defeated.

00:18:13Now, hold on.

00:18:16There are actually three goblin generals.

00:18:19Wouldn't that mean...

00:18:21Yeah.

00:18:23There's a king back there, too.

00:18:30Phelps and I will each take one on.

00:18:33Rihia, Shenna, I need you two to handle the third.

00:18:36We have to finish them before the king arrives.

00:18:47Light javelin!

00:18:54Get start.

00:19:00Get down!

00:19:05Get down!

00:19:05Get down, everyone!

00:19:10What was that?

00:19:12Air Slash, right?

00:19:13But it was so much stronger and faster than I've ever experienced before.

00:19:17All it did was swing its arm.

00:19:23It's savage.

00:19:24Mrs. Generals are just collateral damage.

00:19:27What a tyrant.

00:19:34What the?

00:19:38I'm counting on both of them.

00:19:40Abel and Phelps' magic weapons are the only things that can hold up against that monster.

00:19:49Not good.

00:19:51Abel!

00:19:54Sword skill.

00:19:55Perfect shadow.

00:19:57Combat skill.

00:20:00Total entailment!

00:20:04I don't think that did it!

00:20:06Didn't have to!

00:20:07Lynn!

00:20:09Blind!

00:20:10Bullet range!

00:20:12Perfect shadow.

00:20:14Perfect shadow.

00:20:31It's over.

00:20:37So what you mean to tell me, she was invoking the air spell bullet raid that entire time then?

00:20:43Yes.

00:20:43It's rarely used in combat because the incantation's so long.

00:20:46You could call it a secret weapon.

00:20:48Nice, Crimson Sword.

00:20:49I admit, I'm impressed.

00:20:52Yeah!

00:20:54Yeah!

00:20:55Yeah!

00:20:56Yeah!

00:20:57Yeah!

00:20:59Yeah!

00:21:02At the end of the day, I'm just glad we all survived.

00:21:20Oh, wow.

00:21:22What happened?

00:21:23Oh, wow.

00:21:28Must be nice.

00:21:29Sure wish I could have a stiff drink.

00:21:32Reports to the capital and regional lord.

00:21:34Requests for great title board response funds.

00:21:37Paperwork for payouts.

00:21:38Assessments of the adventurers who participated.

00:21:40Plans to restore and replenish the facilities and assets.

00:21:44Gotta do all that stuff.

00:21:45Plus, keep the guild up and running.

00:21:47There's no end to this mountain of paperwork.

00:21:52And what's more, researchers from the royal capital are bound to show up wanting to study

00:21:57what's happened, even though the dungeon's going to be sealed for a month.

00:22:03The aftermath might be even more trouble than the fight.

00:22:08You find it down there?

00:22:10Impressive.

00:22:11Wow.

00:22:11I see.

00:22:12So they're celebrating the end of the great title board.

00:22:15I guess that's enough reason to break out the good stuff.

00:22:17You should have seen Abel finding Ryo.

00:22:19He took command and flayed them all like this.

00:22:22And then he gave Flynn the signal to release some kind of crazy smell.

00:22:26That was bullet ring.

00:22:27It's supposed to be one of those powerful wind spells there is.

00:22:30And Abel was the only one to dodge it.

00:22:32I wonder how he did it.

00:22:34Perfect shadow.

00:22:36It's a technique for dodging any kind of ranged attack, including magic.

00:22:40Oh, hey.

00:22:41You were truly amazing today, Abel.

00:22:43And you all did great hanging in there as well.

00:22:46A sword skill called perfect shadow?

00:22:48Now that's how you name a technique.

00:22:50I knew you'd say that.

00:22:51Ha!

00:22:52So this is where you've been, huh?

00:22:54See there, Lin?

00:22:55I told you he'd be with Ryo.

00:22:58You've taken a real shine to him.

00:22:59It's obvious he's your favorite.

00:23:02I don't know why, but that felt kind of antagonistic.

00:23:06Oh, yo.

00:23:07I wanted to ask you about something.

00:23:09Yeah?

00:23:10Well, it's...

00:23:11Are you really able to conjure Ice Wall from way up high in the air?

00:23:14Yeah, I sure can.

00:23:17The highest I can go is about 40 meters or so.

00:23:20And it is the truth.

00:23:22I wouldn't be too impressed by it.

00:23:24It's ridiculously difficult and it took forever to perfect.

00:23:28Most couldn't do it at all.

00:23:30Is it some kind of original spell?

00:23:32Original?

00:23:33Most magic's invoked by reciting existing incantations for specific spells.

00:23:38I would say incantations come down to personal preference.

00:23:42Everyone does it different.

00:23:43Huh?

00:23:44Huh?

00:23:45Oh!

00:23:47Hey!

00:23:47That food's gonna run out!

00:23:49Yikes!

00:23:50That's definitely bad news.

00:23:51If you'll excuse me, Lin, Ryo.

00:23:54What?

00:23:55Apparently, he thinks incantations are something used to sound impressive.

00:24:00He can cast without saying them.

00:24:02Who is he?

00:24:04That's way beyond strange.

00:24:14Talk about rough times.

00:24:16Not a single job post.

00:24:21Huh?

00:24:22Why aren't you guys working?

00:24:24Well, since the dungeon is closed, there are no jobs available.

00:24:27We thought there'd be some simple collection quests on the surface, but...

00:24:30The other adventurers rushed the board and snatched up all the requests.

00:24:34So, the guild had to issue a temporary hold.

00:24:37What are you doing here, Ryo?

00:24:39Looking for a quest or something?

00:24:40No.

00:24:41I was hoping they'd have ore here for some alchemical experiments.

00:24:45But they're all sold out.

00:24:46Magic copper ore?

00:24:48Isn't that really pricey?

00:24:49From what I heard at the general store, a fist-sized piece is 500,000 florins.

00:24:54That's 50 gold coins.

00:24:56Must be nice to be loaded.

00:24:58Well, without any jobs, we can't earn anything.

00:25:01What are we gonna do?

00:25:03Well, you know, if that's the case, why don't I hire you?

00:25:07Hire us for what?

00:25:09Would there be any chance you know of a place where you can collect some magic copper ore outside the

00:25:13dungeon?

00:25:15You know, there is an abandoned mine not too far away, in the village of Rusay.

00:25:19It's only about a half day's walk from Loon.

00:25:22How's four gold coins each?

00:25:26I'll pay you that much just for making the trek.

00:25:28Then I'll buy any magic copper ore you do find for 25 gold coins apiece.

00:25:33My only condition is that you all make it safely back to Loon.

00:25:36How's that?

00:25:38It's a deal!

00:25:39But are you really ready to pay that much?

00:25:41What, 37 gold coins total?

00:25:43That's still much cheaper than they charge me in town.

00:25:46It won't count towards your rank since we're not going through the guild.

00:25:50Oh, that's just fine!

00:25:57Hey, scumbags!

00:25:58She's not interested!

00:26:00Knock it off!

00:26:00We're royal knights.

00:26:02We just wanted to serve some stiff drinks, that's all.

00:26:05And then later on, she can be serving us all night long.

00:26:10No, let me go!

00:26:12I don't want to!

00:26:13She just said no!

00:26:14That's enough!

00:26:16Him again.

00:26:18Help me!

00:26:20Please!

00:26:20Stop it!

00:26:27You idiots!

00:26:32I'm not going to kill you, but you worthless adventurers need to be taught a lesson!

00:26:46What did you do to me?

00:26:48Um, nothing.

00:26:50You fell.

00:26:51Son of a!

00:26:51Don't you dare move!

00:26:54Oh, what the?

00:26:56Okay, that's enough.

00:27:01It's Phelps!

00:27:03What's with this guy?

00:27:05You represent the knights of this kingdom, don't you?

00:27:08For shame!

00:27:09How dare you!

00:27:11You've got some nerve, you know.

00:27:13We can have you and the guild master banish!

00:27:15Silence!

00:27:16If you're a knight, act like one.

00:27:18But you're just an adventurer.

00:27:20While it's a fact that I am an adventurer, I am a bearer of noble blood as well.

00:27:27I'll have you know, Phelps A. Heinlein is my name, and I am the next heir to House Heinlein.

00:27:33That's familiar.

00:27:34Wait a sec.

00:27:35Like the former commander of knights?

00:27:38Indeed.

00:27:39Alexis Heinlein's my father.

00:27:41Now stop sullying the name of our kingdom's knights.

00:27:44Leave.

00:27:48That was close.

00:27:49Thank you for all your help.

00:27:51Yes, thank you very much.

00:27:52You're Dan, aren't you?

00:27:54That was brave of you.

00:27:56You've got an adventurer's heart.

00:27:58Well, let's make sure she's returned safely to her friends.

00:28:01Right, if you'll excuse me.

00:28:09Huh.

00:28:10You must be Ryo.

00:28:11Mm-hmm.

00:28:12That's me.

00:28:13Nice to meet you.

00:28:14It's Phelps, right?

00:28:15Yes.

00:28:15I am the captain of the White Brigade.

00:28:18Abel's told me as much, but your magic's a sight to behold.

00:28:24Oh, don't mistake me.

00:28:26I'm sure that knight slipped all on his own.

00:28:29At the party after the Great Tidal War, Abel couldn't stop telling me how much easier it would have been

00:28:35with you there to help.

00:28:36Abel.

00:28:37Captain, we need to be going now.

00:28:40Very well, then.

00:28:41Such a shame.

00:28:42I must go.

00:28:43Thanks for your help.

00:28:44See you.

00:28:47So that's Phelps.

00:28:49I can tell he's strong.

00:28:51That woman with him, too.

00:28:53I can't quite imagine why the son of a Marquess is an adventurer, though.

00:29:02I don't see you eating dinner alone often.

00:29:04I'm not going to treat you even if you sit with me.

00:29:07I wouldn't expect handouts from newbies.

00:29:10You're the veteran here, so feel free to treat me anytime.

00:29:13Ha!

00:29:13I'm not spending a single coin on a rich newbie.

00:29:16What sounds good?

00:29:17One daily special.

00:29:19You got it.

00:29:20It's rare to see you out on your own, too.

00:29:23Ah.

00:29:23I think I know what's going on here.

00:29:26You're off to the pleasure district after this.

00:29:28Hush, you fool!

00:29:29There's no telling who could be listening in on us.

00:29:32Worried the walls have ears and the doors have eyes, are you?

00:29:35What's that mean?

00:29:36Do doors even need eyes?

00:29:37From your reaction, I take it you would rather avoid the subject entirely.

00:29:42Which leads me to believe a lucky girl must have caught your eye.

00:29:45Nope, nothing like that, either.

00:29:47You know, I'm not sure Lin's the best choice.

00:29:49You got it wrong.

00:29:50She's after Warren.

00:29:52Huh?

00:29:53Please pretend you didn't hear that.

00:29:55Wow, the hate contrast.

00:29:56The hate.

00:29:57I suppose love can overcome.

00:29:59Oh, so you're meeting up with Rikia, then?

00:30:02Ah!

00:30:03In the cell, it's not like that.

00:30:05Then don't act like a middle schooler.

00:30:07Like a middle-worth schooner?

00:30:09Forget it.

00:30:10So why are you out here alone this late at night?

00:30:14You know what?

00:30:15If you're free, I think I could use your help.

00:30:18Really?

00:30:24An investigator who's been dispatched to Loon is an old friend of mine.

00:30:28He's got a few royal knights in tow as guards.

00:30:31Apparently, some of them are anything but gallant.

00:30:34Oh, boy.

00:30:35Seems they've snuck off again tonight, and I'm tasked with collecting them before they cause more trouble.

00:30:41Abel.

00:30:42Oh.

00:30:44What?

00:30:46Some adventurers I didn't see at your welcome home party.

00:30:50Well, the town has a dungeon, so we do get traveling adventurers sometimes.

00:30:55Yeah, but isn't the dungeon closed?

00:31:06They're gone.

00:31:09They're gone.

00:31:21Why go to the trouble of luring us here if that's the best they can do?

00:31:25I'd say you're just more than anyone expects.

00:31:30What's this? An alchemical tool?

00:31:33Really? Don't mind if I do.

00:31:35Not a chance is evidence.

00:31:39They're C-rank adventurers from J'Claire. Andalus Capital.

00:31:44What would they be doing here, though?

00:31:46Let's hand them over to the town guard. They can deal with it.

00:31:50Guess this is a rare good deed for you.

00:31:52Rare? That's all I do?

00:31:54I don't know if talking everyone's ear off about how amazing I am at the party qualifies.

00:31:59How do you know about that?

00:32:12You'll pay for embarrassing me, Kirk.

00:32:20What's this?

00:32:21My throat.

00:32:23I can't talk.

00:32:25Something's wrong.

00:32:26I can't move.

00:32:27Thou art the lord of fire, bringer of the crimson end.

00:32:30With destructive breath, you deliver blazing judgment to all creation.

00:32:34Let your flames rise.

00:32:36Inferno.

00:32:46Very well done, Shanna.

00:33:03Sorry. Looks like we've been cleaned out of grub for the day.

00:33:07Oh, no.

00:33:09Just what do you think you're doing?

00:33:11First commandeering all the guild's food stores,

00:33:14then opening the dungeon just for your personal investigation,

00:33:18and now demanding adventurers for your protection?

00:33:21You got some real nerve, you know?

00:33:23I'm sorry, Master McGlass.

00:33:25But as I already explained earlier,

00:33:28His Royal Majesty himself made the decision.

00:33:30So it stands.

00:33:31The head of this research expedition is the Minister of Domestic Affairs,

00:33:35Earl Howard Lawrence.

00:33:37He granted us full authority over the team,

00:33:40which I am certain was in the decree you read, Master McGlass.

00:33:43Thus, resources are to be shared.

00:33:45It's about what I can realistically give, though.

00:33:48Ugh, Master McGlass, please.

00:33:50I said full authority.

00:33:51Do I need to explain what that means to you?

00:33:53You don't, Clive Staples.

00:33:56I understand.

00:33:57But resources are quite scarce.

00:33:59Hmm.

00:34:01All right.

00:34:02That's enough, you two.

00:34:04Hugh, you have my apologies about breakfast.

00:34:07I'll arrange for food supplies to be brought in from neighboring towns

00:34:10instead of procuring it from the guild.

00:34:13I'd greatly appreciate that.

00:34:14That might settle the matter of provisions, sir.

00:34:17But I'm afraid I cannot budge on reopening the dungeon for investigation.

00:34:24Oh, fine.

00:34:26We'll open it up.

00:34:27But know this.

00:34:29You assume all the risk down there.

00:34:32We aren't responsible for you.

00:34:33Not the city of Lune, nor my guild.

00:34:35What?

00:34:36You...

00:34:37If you won't agree, well, then the dungeon stays closed.

00:34:44We've no choice, then.

00:34:46It is what it is, Clive.

00:34:48Hugh, I take it the matter of hiring adventurers above standard rates should not pose a problem, correct?

00:34:54They can decide for themselves.

00:34:56Remember, we don't know how this will play out yet.

00:34:59There's almost no record of what goes on in a dungeon after a great title bore.

00:35:04I suggest you proceed with utmost caution.

00:35:08Here we go.

00:35:10Oh, Crimson Sword's in.

00:35:12I bet the restaurant's superb.

00:35:23Sir!

00:35:24Would you happen to be an adventurer?

00:35:26Huh?

00:35:26Well, you are right about that.

00:35:28Perfect!

00:35:29I've been searching all over town for Abel of the Crimson Sword.

00:35:32Please take me to the guild!

00:35:33Uh, I was just about to eat breakfast.

00:35:35I've got a letter!

00:35:36And I have to deliver it!

00:35:38I beg you, sir!

00:35:43It's from Professor Hilarion in the capital.

00:35:46Master Hilarion sent this?

00:35:48I'm glad I was able to get it to you.

00:35:50I was lucky I ran into someone at your lodge who told me I could find you in here.

00:35:55Hmm.

00:35:56It's a request.

00:35:57He's asking us to provide backup for the court magicians investigating the dungeon.

00:36:01But I thought they closed it.

00:36:03Well, I'm sure the big shots they send will arrange for something.

00:36:07Still, though.

00:36:09What's bothering you?

00:36:10The reason the dungeon is supposed to be blocked off after a great title bore is because,

00:36:15decades ago, an A-rank party went down and never made it back up.

00:36:19They weren't just any A-rank group.

00:36:22Their leader was an inhumanly powerful swordsman who may have been an S-rank,

00:36:26and even he never returned.

00:36:28In other words, no one knows what goes on in the dungeon following a great title bore.

00:36:34Well, then it sounds like it'd be wise to stay away.

00:36:37Works for me.

00:36:38I'm still starving, so I'm off to breakfast.

00:36:41Oh, um, thank you for showing me the way.

00:36:43I really appreciate it.

00:36:44Sure thing.

00:36:46My word, I don't believe we ever caught your name.

00:36:49Oh, that's right.

00:36:50I'm sorry.

00:36:51Natalie.

00:36:52My name is Natalie Schwarzkopf.

00:36:55Lovely.

00:36:56It's a pleasure to meet you, dear.

00:36:58Wait, you come from the Schwarzkopf family of great water magicians?

00:37:02Oh, um, well, I do, yes.

00:37:04But I'm not much of a magician to speak of myself.

00:37:07Tell me, have you ever heard of any kind of spell

00:37:10that would let the caster conjure ice wall from high up in the air?

00:37:14Ugh.

00:37:15No, I haven't.

00:37:16And from everything I know, such magic couldn't exist.

00:37:20Hmm.

00:37:20Seriously, Lynn?

00:37:21You can't let that go, can you?

00:37:23No, I can't, Abel.

00:37:25There's no way any magician would just let that go, understand?

00:37:28And you're saying magic like that's actually real?

00:37:31Apparently the young man who just left can cast it.

00:37:34Uh, that's hard to believe.

00:37:37I bet.

00:37:38This warrants discussion.

00:37:40So let me take the opportunity to say,

00:37:43no one here is to ever fight Ryo.

00:37:46Even the four of us together would be no match for him.

00:37:49If you find yourself against him,

00:37:52just give up and surrender.

00:37:53Knowing him, he isn't likely to kill you.

00:37:56Got that?

00:37:57That's an order from your party leader.

00:37:59Right, understood.

00:38:01Natalie.

00:38:02Huh?

00:38:02If you're ever in a position where you need help

00:38:04and you can't find any of us,

00:38:06Ryo will have your back.

00:38:07You can rely on him.

00:38:09He's usually in room 10 at the lodge

00:38:11or holed up in the library.

00:38:13Thanks.

00:38:13That's good to know.

00:38:22This is a residual mana detector.

00:38:24As the name implies,

00:38:26it should pick up any trace mana left in the environment.

00:38:30Anything it detects will then be transmitted

00:38:32to the analysis team we have waiting in the tent.

00:38:35Wow.

00:38:36Alchemy can create some nifty things, huh?

00:38:39I'm impressed, Abel.

00:38:40Now you've taken an interest in alchemy.

00:38:43Oh, no.

00:38:43Not me, sir.

00:38:44A good friend of mine is absolutely fascinated with it, though.

00:38:47And you have friends now?

00:38:49Oh, come on.

00:38:50Even I have people who call me friend.

00:38:53Hmm.

00:38:54Well, maybe you becoming an adventurer

00:38:57worked out for the best after all.

00:38:59Let's get right to it.

00:39:01As we discussed,

00:39:02we're only going as far as the third layer today.

00:39:05We'll move slowly and be thorough.

00:39:08Right.

00:39:08We're counting on you all.

00:39:12Are you serious about this?

00:39:14That's 900,000 florins!

00:39:17Sure.

00:39:17You found two pieces of the ore I need.

00:39:19And the rest is to cover extra expenses.

00:39:23Thanks, man.

00:39:24We owe you big time.

00:39:25You know, I'm surprised

00:39:26they're suddenly opening the dungeon back up so soon.

00:39:30Yeah.

00:39:30Me too.

00:39:31But apparently,

00:39:32they're only letting D-rankers in above inside.

00:39:35So, in other words,

00:39:36we're still forbidden.

00:39:37There's going to be a briefing about all of it tomorrow.

00:39:40So let's all plan to be there.

00:39:47It's our third day down here,

00:39:49and we've reached the seventh layer

00:39:50with just about nothing to show for it.

00:39:52Yes, sir.

00:39:53I can't believe there hasn't been a single monster.

00:39:56The surface team is reviewing our readings

00:39:58and hasn't picked up anything noteworthy as of yet.

00:40:01I guess there's no choice but to head deeper.

00:40:05The people from the Royal Central University

00:40:07seem to be in quite a rush.

00:40:09Evidently,

00:40:10the university team is operating on a theory

00:40:12that the monsters in this last outbreak

00:40:14originated from below the 38th layer.

00:40:17Wait, really?

00:40:18That's what my former colleague told me.

00:40:20Your former colleague?

00:40:22Meaning from when you were a priestess

00:40:23at the Royal Central Temple?

00:40:25Won't they get in trouble

00:40:26for sharing classified information?

00:40:28It doesn't matter.

00:40:29The thing about priests

00:40:30is we're always in demand.

00:40:33As I have explained,

00:40:35E and F rank parties

00:40:36will not be escorting

00:40:37the investigation team.

00:40:39As for alternative work,

00:40:41we're procuring food from outside Loon,

00:40:44so look for posts from folks

00:40:45needing security.

00:40:46The White Brigade is already involved

00:40:48but could still use more guards as support.

00:40:51Any volunteers would be appreciated.

00:40:53Now then,

00:40:54does anyone have any questions?

00:40:57Rio, go on.

00:40:58I heard that they recovered magic stone

00:41:00from the monsters during the boar.

00:41:02I was curious how deep of a hue they had.

00:41:05That's very insightful of you.

00:41:08The magic stone collected

00:41:09from the great title boar

00:41:11was a pale hue.

00:41:12That includes the Goblin King

00:41:14and the Goblin Generals as well.

00:41:18It was pale.

00:41:28Do we know what this is?

00:41:30Well,

00:41:30we think it may be connected

00:41:32to another location, sir.

00:41:33But beyond that,

00:41:34we have no idea

00:41:35including why it's here.

00:41:37Seems as though

00:41:38my rushing ahead

00:41:39has paid off.

00:41:40How advantageous.

00:41:42For our purposes,

00:41:43we'll call this the gate.

00:41:45Set up the equipment

00:41:45and begin examining it

00:41:47right away.

00:41:48At once.

00:42:00Everything's in place.

00:42:01First,

00:42:01let's try to gauge

00:42:02the monodensity

00:42:03beyond the gate.

00:42:04Please begin.

00:42:06Begin.

00:42:23Risha, Warren, Lynn.

00:42:25All here?

00:42:26Yeah.

00:42:27Arthur,

00:42:28how's it going over there?

00:42:29I'm all right,

00:42:30but it seems our entire team

00:42:32has somehow been relocated.

00:42:34Relocated?

00:42:40Do you know where we are?

00:42:43All of you,

00:42:44I need you to start

00:42:45scanning the area.

00:42:46Who knows what could show up?

00:42:48You are to proceed

00:42:49with the utmost caution.

00:42:51Director,

00:42:52what in the world happened?

00:42:54Based on the odd sensation

00:42:55I felt,

00:42:55I'd say we were teleported here,

00:42:57which means

00:42:58it's urgent

00:42:59that we find out

00:42:59where we are.

00:43:00Do you suppose

00:43:01this is due to the gate

00:43:02we found?

00:43:03Most likely.

00:43:04The working theory

00:43:05was that the monsters

00:43:06in this particular

00:43:07great title war

00:43:07came from somewhere

00:43:08below the 38th layer

00:43:10of the dungeon.

00:43:11But that would now

00:43:12appear to be incorrect.

00:43:14In fact,

00:43:14I'd say there's a rather

00:43:15high chance

00:43:16that the gate's

00:43:16actually the source

00:43:17of it all.

00:43:19Still,

00:43:20this may prove

00:43:20an unexpected blessing.

00:43:22This might be the day

00:43:23that our understanding

00:43:24of the title war phenomenon

00:43:26is completely turned

00:43:27on its head.

00:43:28And my team

00:43:29could be the ones

00:43:30to do it.

00:43:31With what we uncover

00:43:33in this investigation,

00:43:34I, Clive Staples,

00:43:36will finally build

00:43:37the scaffolding

00:43:38for my ascent

00:43:39to department head!

00:43:41Director,

00:43:42what's that?

00:43:43Huh?

00:43:44Is there something there?

00:43:48The readings

00:43:50vanished?

00:43:52But that shouldn't

00:43:53be possible.

00:43:55We've got something!

00:43:57I think they're

00:43:57on the 40th layer.

00:43:59Huh?

00:44:00Why would they be there?

00:44:02What?

00:44:03Now it's gone again.

00:44:05I need to know

00:44:06who's in charge here.

00:44:07Oh,

00:44:08that would be me, sir.

00:44:09My name is Christopher Blatt

00:44:11and I'm from

00:44:11the College of Magic.

00:44:12I require details

00:44:14on your team's

00:44:14current status.

00:44:15As a leader

00:44:16of this investigation

00:44:17and a fellow

00:44:17acting in service

00:44:18of His Majesty,

00:44:20is there currently

00:44:21some anomalous activity

00:44:22going on down

00:44:23in the dungeon?

00:44:24Not sure I...

00:44:25I fully understand

00:44:26that we work

00:44:27for different teams.

00:44:27You have your role

00:44:28to consider.

00:44:29But I could use

00:44:31any information

00:44:31you're at liberty

00:44:32to share.

00:44:33Moments ago,

00:44:35people entering

00:44:35the dungeon vanished.

00:44:37We were following

00:44:38the local adventurers

00:44:40we'd hired to guide us

00:44:41and were just starting

00:44:42to slowly make our way in.

00:44:46But just as they began

00:44:47descending the stairs

00:44:48from the entrance...

00:44:53They vanished

00:44:54right in front of me.

00:44:57So it's not just

00:44:58our readings then?

00:44:59I assume you've also

00:45:01confirmed other vanishings?

00:45:02Um, yes.

00:45:04They were on the 10th layer.

00:45:05And there's been

00:45:06no sign of them

00:45:07since they disappeared.

00:45:08There was,

00:45:09but only for a moment.

00:45:10Wait, there was?

00:45:11Where did it come from?

00:45:13It was from the 40th layer.

00:45:15The 40th layer?

00:45:16That's quite deep

00:45:17in the dungeon.

00:45:18The farthest

00:45:19any adventurer

00:45:20made it in the past

00:45:21is level 38.

00:45:22It's said that

00:45:23even B-rank parties

00:45:24have a difficult time

00:45:25reaching deeper

00:45:26than level 30.

00:45:27One of Loon's

00:45:28B-rank parties

00:45:29was escorting our team.

00:45:30We hired Abel

00:45:31and the Crimson Sword

00:45:32as guards.

00:45:33There's a very high chance

00:45:34they're all still

00:45:34down there together.

00:45:36For now,

00:45:37I've sent a messenger

00:45:38to the adventurer's guild.

00:45:40The guild master

00:45:41will come as soon

00:45:42as he hears of this

00:45:42and will need to be able

00:45:43to explain

00:45:44what happened

00:45:45when they arrive.

00:45:46Yes, sir.

00:45:47Understood.

00:45:47Natalie, wait!

00:45:50Master,

00:45:51there's a problem!

00:45:52Go on!

00:45:56Something's gone terribly wrong

00:45:58down in the dungeon, sir.

00:45:59The research team vanished!

00:46:02Dean Christopher

00:46:03from the College of Magic

00:46:04is requesting assistance.

00:46:06Your presence is needed

00:46:08at the dungeon entrance

00:46:09as soon as humanly possible.

00:46:11The research team vanished?

00:46:13Does that mean

00:46:13Abel and his party too?

00:46:16I'm on my way!

00:46:17The rest of the staff

00:46:18should wait here!

00:46:19Have our liaisons

00:46:21assemble at the dungeon checkpoint!

00:46:23Don't breathe a word

00:46:24of this to the guild!

00:46:25Tell them to wait for me!

00:46:26I'll explain the situation

00:46:27once I know more about it!

00:46:29Ah!

00:46:36There aren't any librarians here,

00:46:38I guess.

00:46:39I have no idea

00:46:40what books they have,

00:46:41much less where they'd be.

00:47:03Is that Riel?

00:47:04Huh?

00:47:10Sarah?

00:47:11Good!

00:47:11By the look on your face,

00:47:12I take it you need help

00:47:13with something?

00:47:14Yes!

00:47:15I was hoping to compare records

00:47:16of past solar eclipses

00:47:18and the great tidal bores,

00:47:19but I have no idea

00:47:21where to look.

00:47:22I see.

00:47:23I actually can help you

00:47:24with that.

00:47:25I happen to know

00:47:26just where they are.

00:47:27I had a feeling you would.

00:47:29I hope you don't mind

00:47:30helping me again.

00:47:31If I can be of use,

00:47:33I'm more than happy to.

00:47:41So, Riel,

00:47:42do you think there's

00:47:43a connection between

00:47:44eclipses and great tidal bores?

00:47:46The thoughts crossed my mind.

00:47:48This time,

00:47:48there was that major

00:47:49solar eclipse

00:47:50two days before

00:47:51the monster outbreak,

00:47:52if I'm remembering it correctly.

00:47:54Yes, you are.

00:47:56That's my hypothesis, too.

00:47:59I have to agree with you.

00:48:01I've noted a correlation

00:48:02between the starts

00:48:03of those events as well.

00:48:06Specifically,

00:48:07there has always been

00:48:08an eclipse just prior

00:48:09to a great tidal bores,

00:48:11but I'm especially intrigued

00:48:12that it was a total eclipse

00:48:13this time.

00:48:14That could prove

00:48:15to be most significant.

00:48:17So you think

00:48:17they're related?

00:48:19Obviously,

00:48:19I've looked into

00:48:20this very subject before,

00:48:22but I must admit

00:48:23I'm rather curious

00:48:24as to what tipped you off

00:48:25to the connection

00:48:26between the two.

00:48:27It, uh,

00:48:28seemed possible.

00:48:30It's not like

00:48:30I can tell her

00:48:31I was actually fighting

00:48:32an Akuma

00:48:33in the middle

00:48:33of the eclipse.

00:48:35Uh-huh.

00:48:37Oh!

00:48:38I almost forgot to ask!

00:48:39Might you know

00:48:40what determines

00:48:41the vividness

00:48:41of magic stone?

00:48:43Okay.

00:48:43I'll let you

00:48:44change the subject,

00:48:45then.

00:48:46I certainly do.

00:48:48The longer a monster lives,

00:48:49the deeper in hue

00:48:50the color of its stone

00:48:51becomes.

00:48:52Right!

00:48:53That's something

00:48:54I learned about

00:48:54a while back

00:48:55on a journey

00:48:56with a friend of mine.

00:48:57And so,

00:48:58with that in mind,

00:48:59I started wondering

00:49:00about the hue

00:49:00of the magic stone

00:49:01collected from monsters

00:49:02during the boar.

00:49:04I see.

00:49:05Were they pale?

00:49:07Yes.

00:49:07I wouldn't think

00:49:08twice if they were bright.

00:49:10That would imply

00:49:11that elder monsters

00:49:12from lower levels

00:49:13were coming back

00:49:13to the surface,

00:49:14which makes sense.

00:49:15Right.

00:49:16But the stones

00:49:17being pale

00:49:18suggest that the monsters

00:49:19coming from the dungeon

00:49:20had only recently spawned.

00:49:21So all those goblins

00:49:23and their generals

00:49:24and king

00:49:24just spawned.

00:49:25Cohorts that powerful

00:49:27appearing all at the same time?

00:49:29Totally unheard of.

00:49:30But if they were

00:49:31artificially created,

00:49:33that would have taken

00:49:33an unbelievable amount

00:49:35of energy to pull off.

00:49:36There's no shortage

00:49:37of mysteries

00:49:38surrounding this

00:49:38whole debacle.

00:49:40You don't seem surprised.

00:49:42Did you already have knowledge

00:49:43that the magic stones

00:49:44were pale?

00:49:45Yes.

00:49:46I've been researching

00:49:47the records of previous

00:49:48great tidal boars

00:49:49all on my own.

00:49:50Those monsters' magic stones

00:49:52were pale, too.

00:49:53Really?

00:49:54Such records exist?

00:49:56Even the librarians

00:49:57don't know where

00:49:58to find them.

00:49:59The parchment

00:49:59they're written on

00:50:00was already in poor condition

00:50:01when they were brought here.

00:50:03So, would you care

00:50:04to see them?

00:50:05Oh, wow!

00:50:06Of course!

00:50:07All right, then.

00:50:08Follow me.

00:50:16That odd sensation

00:50:17we felt.

00:50:18Similar to the

00:50:19teleportation I experienced

00:50:20within a dungeon

00:50:21of the western provinces.

00:50:23Teleportation?

00:50:24I've heard of dungeons

00:50:25with such magic

00:50:26but never seen it.

00:50:27This space!

00:50:28Where are we now?

00:50:30I've no clue.

00:50:31I can't tell

00:50:32if we're on another level

00:50:33within the dungeon

00:50:34or someplace else entirely.

00:50:37But either way,

00:50:38there can be no doubt

00:50:39that our entire team

00:50:40was forcibly relocated somehow.

00:50:43Are the instruments

00:50:44still functioning normally?

00:50:45Yes, they are, sir.

00:50:47The wind magic

00:50:48in this device

00:50:49appears to be

00:50:50working properly.

00:50:51Meaning it should

00:50:52currently be

00:50:53transmitting this location's

00:50:54data to the analysis

00:50:55team on the surface.

00:50:57I hope that means

00:50:58they'll be sending

00:50:59help our way soon.

00:51:00Well, dear,

00:51:01I'm not too certain

00:51:02of that.

00:51:03Is there something

00:51:04that's bothering you?

00:51:06Yes.

00:51:07It's the air in here.

00:51:09Ria, tell me.

00:51:11What does this space

00:51:12remind you of?

00:51:20The inside

00:51:21of a sanctuary square.

00:51:23A sanctuary square?

00:51:25The spell

00:51:25that only high-ranking

00:51:26priests can cast?

00:51:27Yes.

00:51:28The ultimate

00:51:29defense of magic.

00:51:30A divine miracle.

00:51:32A holy barrier.

00:51:34Totally impenetrable.

00:51:35It's able to withstand

00:51:36any spell

00:51:37or physical attack.

00:51:39So if this reminds you

00:51:40of one of those,

00:51:41then what's that mean

00:51:42for us?

00:51:43Not good.

00:51:44She's basically saying

00:51:45we may be trapped

00:51:46inside some kind

00:51:47of barrier.

00:51:48That does indeed

00:51:49seem to be the case.

00:51:50What's worse,

00:51:51it must be so

00:51:52absolutely massive

00:51:53that we can't tell

00:51:54where the boundary

00:51:55even lies.

00:51:57At the very least,

00:51:59then, this doesn't

00:51:59bode well for us.

00:52:01Lynn, indulge me.

00:52:03Can you use probe

00:52:04to check out

00:52:04our surroundings?

00:52:06All righty.

00:52:08Bring to me

00:52:09the pulse and existence

00:52:11of life.

00:52:11Carry the truth

00:52:12upon the wind.

00:52:14Now probe!

00:52:22I'm detecting

00:52:23a large number

00:52:24of people present

00:52:25at a distance

00:52:25of about 500 meters

00:52:26over there.

00:52:27I'd say at least

00:52:28a thousand humans.

00:52:29And then,

00:52:30about 50 of some

00:52:32life form

00:52:32I've never encountered

00:52:33before.

00:52:34A thousand others

00:52:35are here?

00:52:36The most likely

00:52:37answer is that

00:52:38Clive and his team

00:52:39were also whisked

00:52:40away to wherever

00:52:41it is we find

00:52:42ourselves now.

00:52:43I guess we'll

00:52:44head their way.

00:52:45We're better off

00:52:46together than split

00:52:47up in any case.

00:52:49The 40th layer?

00:52:51Right.

00:52:52It was only momentary,

00:52:53but we're quite certain

00:52:55the rating's accurate.

00:52:56You've surely

00:52:56gotta be pulling

00:52:57my leg here.

00:52:59Even if we mobilize

00:53:00every adventurer

00:53:01we have left,

00:53:02they'd never get

00:53:02that far,

00:53:03or likely make it back.

00:53:04We'd also have

00:53:06no way of sending

00:53:07anyone in to help

00:53:08them.

00:53:08Then,

00:53:09there remains

00:53:09the question

00:53:10of why these

00:53:10people vanished

00:53:11in the first place.

00:53:12It's entirely

00:53:13possible it would

00:53:14happen again,

00:53:15too.

00:53:16I'm sorry,

00:53:17but neither I

00:53:17nor my subordinates

00:53:18can help you.

00:53:19The situation

00:53:20is too uncertain

00:53:21for me to accept

00:53:22that kind of risk.

00:53:23Yeah,

00:53:23makes perfect sense.

00:53:25I can't justify

00:53:26sending local

00:53:26adventurers into

00:53:27this level of danger

00:53:28either.

00:53:29We'll just have to

00:53:30pray that wherever

00:53:31they ended up,

00:53:32they're together

00:53:33somewhere safe.

00:53:42stay as far

00:53:43inside our barriers

00:53:44as possible.

00:53:48Hurry up,

00:53:48get in here.

00:54:03damn it!

00:54:05What in the world

00:54:06are these things?

00:54:12It can't be!

00:54:15I know what those

00:54:16are!

00:54:17They're devils!

00:54:22Devils?

00:54:24Yes!

00:54:25I've only read

00:54:26about them before,

00:54:27but they match

00:54:28the description

00:54:28exactly!

00:54:31Exactly!

00:54:52what's going on!

00:54:57What's going on?

00:55:05mercy me!

00:55:08Devils?

00:55:09Yes,

00:55:10they do certainly

00:55:11appear to be.

00:55:12They are the enemies

00:55:13of gods and angels,

00:55:14beings immune to all

00:55:16magic,

00:55:16stronger than a human

00:55:17could ever be.

00:55:18They represent

00:55:19purest despair,

00:55:20or so say all the

00:55:22accounts I've read.

00:55:23Maybe,

00:55:24but what are they

00:55:25doing down here?

00:55:26There's no time

00:55:27for speculation.

00:55:28We'll have to

00:55:29pincer them.

00:55:30Prepare to hem

00:55:31them in.

00:55:36How?

00:55:37In a place like

00:55:38this?

00:55:42Devils!

00:55:43Devils!

00:55:45Devils!

00:55:47Devils!

00:55:48It's unreal,

00:55:49but magic's supposed

00:55:50to be ineffective

00:55:51against devils.

00:55:52However,

00:55:53it's never been

00:55:54fully confirmed.

00:55:54It stands to reason

00:55:56that a trio of

00:55:56magicians focusing

00:55:57on a single target

00:55:58could overcome

00:55:59even a devil's

00:56:00defense.

00:56:02Now,

00:56:03prepare the

00:56:04second volley!

00:56:12While they can be

00:56:13killed,

00:56:13their numbers

00:56:14are far too great.

00:56:15We'll likely run out

00:56:16of mana

00:56:16before they are routed.

00:56:23in a single file.

00:56:24It's a particularly

00:56:24nasty one back there.

00:56:26Oh my God!

00:56:30The fourth volley

00:56:31will be our last

00:56:32shot at them.

00:56:32We've no firepower

00:56:33left.

00:56:34Right.

00:56:35It's time for

00:56:36close combat then.

00:56:37Warren,

00:56:38let's rush them

00:56:39single file.

00:56:40Oh.

00:56:42Oh.

00:56:43Oh.

00:56:45Oh.

00:56:46Oh.

00:56:57That impromptu

00:56:59twin casting

00:57:00was effective.

00:57:09Once again,

00:57:11the crimson sword

00:57:12proves their reputation

00:57:13is well heard.

00:57:29Lynn!

00:57:30We're out of mana!

00:57:31Warren,

00:57:32cover us!

00:57:33Any potions left?

00:57:35None left!

00:57:37Six devils.

00:57:39Abel,

00:57:41listen!

00:57:42That boss

00:57:42might be a demon prince!

00:57:44Huh?

00:57:45It's those

00:57:46differently colored eyes.

00:57:47I've heard that's

00:57:48one of their

00:57:49unique traits.

00:57:51And isn't that

00:57:52a demon lord

00:57:52that is yet

00:57:53to fully awaken?

00:57:54Correct.

00:57:55They're basically

00:57:56considered to be

00:57:56the immature form

00:57:58of a demon lord.

00:57:59It's said,

00:58:00only four can exist

00:58:01simultaneously

00:58:02and only one of those

00:58:03will become

00:58:04the demon lord.

00:58:05That's what they

00:58:05taught us at the temple.

00:58:07I've heard that too.

00:58:08So that means

00:58:09they're strong,

00:58:10huh?

00:58:12incredibly strong.

00:58:13Only heroes

00:58:14can defeat them.

00:58:16I'm planning on

00:58:17going in and

00:58:17taking down

00:58:18all of them

00:58:18except the demon prince.

00:58:21I tell you

00:58:22not to worry,

00:58:22but I know

00:58:23you will.

00:58:24Anything could

00:58:24happen at this point.

00:58:26The barrier

00:58:26could break

00:58:27for all we know.

00:58:35So don't lose hope

00:58:36quite yet.

00:58:38Abel?

00:58:42This isn't nearly

00:58:43as bad as the time

00:58:44that griffin

00:58:44had its sights on us.

00:58:46That's the only thing

00:58:47on my mind now.

00:59:03I'm not hurt.

00:59:05All three of us

00:59:06are still unharmed.

00:59:08I don't know

00:59:09if I should be

00:59:10scared or flattered.

00:59:11You seriously

00:59:12blew the other

00:59:12three away

00:59:13so you'd have

00:59:14room to duel me

00:59:14yourself?

00:59:15You devils

00:59:16play rough.

00:59:27Terrifyingly fast

00:59:28and strong.

00:59:28I can't envision

00:59:30a way to win this.

00:59:40Our spells

00:59:41are being repelled.

00:59:43It won't work.

00:59:47Does that mean

00:59:48magic is entirely

00:59:50ineffective against it?

00:59:51Huh?

01:00:01No!

01:00:02Oh, damn it!

01:00:04Get back!

01:00:05No!

01:00:09I'm safe!

01:00:22I'm safe!

01:00:23Sword skill

01:00:24zero turn!

01:00:39No way!

01:00:44Abel!

01:00:55Abel!

01:00:56Forgive me,

01:00:58Risha.

01:00:59No!

01:01:24Hey, Abel.

01:01:25You're not hurt,

01:01:26are you?

01:01:28Ryo.

01:01:29What are you

01:01:30doing down here?

01:01:32Well,

01:01:33I came to save

01:01:33your life,

01:01:34obviously.

01:01:35Looks like

01:01:35you're having

01:01:36trouble standing.

01:01:37Did you get

01:01:38a concussion?

01:01:39Never thought

01:01:39I'd see you

01:01:40on the verge

01:01:40of death

01:01:40because of

01:01:41something as

01:01:41mundane as that,

01:01:42but here we are.

01:01:44Guess you've

01:01:44got room to grow.

01:01:46Give me a break.

01:01:47I just got

01:01:48a little tripped up,

01:01:48that's all.

01:01:51Who in the world

01:01:52is he?

01:01:54Apparently lots

01:01:55of people

01:01:56are worried

01:01:56about you guys,

01:01:57so let's

01:01:57head back up

01:01:58to the surface.

01:01:59As much as

01:01:59I would love

01:02:00to do just

01:02:01that.

01:02:04I can take

01:02:05this guy

01:02:05down for you.

01:02:07You don't mind,

01:02:08do you?

01:02:09No,

01:02:09Ryo,

01:02:09wait!

01:02:10That is a demon

01:02:11prince!

01:02:12Is it now?

01:02:13Like the son

01:02:14of a demon lord?

01:02:15Even you

01:02:16must realize

01:02:17now isn't

01:02:17the time

01:02:17for jokes.

01:02:18I'm skeptical

01:02:19anything this week

01:02:20is kin to a demon lord.

01:02:22Demon princes

01:02:23are immature forms

01:02:24of demon lords.

01:02:25They're incredibly

01:02:26strong!

01:02:27That's cute,

01:02:27huh?

01:02:28It really is

01:02:29just a little

01:02:30baby demon lord.

01:02:31No wonder

01:02:32it's so weak.

01:02:33It's not weak!

01:02:35What's wrong

01:02:35with you?

01:02:38First,

01:02:38Icicle Lance 6.

01:02:42And a water jet.

01:02:58I've had enough

01:02:59of being stared

01:03:00at like that.

01:03:16All right.

01:03:18demon prince,

01:03:19is it?

01:03:28Where is Ryo?

01:03:29Oh,

01:03:30I'm pretty sure

01:03:31he's at the

01:03:32Northside Library

01:03:33right now.

01:03:33Thank you so much

01:03:34for your help!

01:03:38Where exactly

01:03:39is this library?

01:03:46Mr. Ryo!

01:03:47I need your help!

01:03:50It's Natalie.

01:03:52Tell me,

01:03:52what's going on?

01:03:53It's Abel

01:03:54and his party.

01:03:55They're in the dungeon,

01:03:57but nobody knows where!

01:04:00You can tell me

01:04:01everything on the way there.

01:04:03Huh?

01:04:11Okay,

01:04:12I think I get the gist

01:04:13of it now.

01:04:14But I must ask,

01:04:15how did you even think

01:04:16to reach out to me

01:04:17for help?

01:04:18Abel's the one

01:04:19who told me

01:04:19I could count on you.

01:04:20He said if something

01:04:21was ever wrong

01:04:22and he wasn't around,

01:04:23I should look for you

01:04:24and you would always

01:04:25be willing to help me.

01:04:26So,

01:04:26as soon as I realized

01:04:27he was gone,

01:04:28I ran straight to you.

01:04:31I see.

01:04:32He said that?

01:04:36Well,

01:04:37guess I better

01:04:38get in there.

01:04:43Coming through!

01:04:45Halt!

01:04:45Stand back!

01:04:46No one is to enter

01:04:49a wall of ice!

01:04:51Hey!

01:04:52Natalie said

01:04:53this signal came

01:04:54from layer 40.

01:04:55There's not enough time

01:04:57to take the long way down.

01:04:58Abrasive jet 6

01:04:59it is then.

01:05:15What's wrong,

01:05:16demon prince?

01:05:18shall we dance?

01:05:31Too slow.

01:05:41Leonor was much faster

01:05:42than this thing.

01:05:43What was that move anyway?

01:05:46Huh?

01:05:50Keeping up the fight

01:05:51after losing your head,

01:05:52huh?

01:05:53That's kind of annoying.

01:05:55While your persistence

01:05:56is impressive,

01:05:57I'd think a demon lord

01:05:59would need to be

01:05:59much stronger than you.

01:06:01But alas,

01:06:02maybe the bar really is

01:06:03that much lower

01:06:03than I thought it was.

01:06:05Of course,

01:06:06this is all meaningless

01:06:07since I doubt

01:06:07you can understand me.

01:06:10Let's put this

01:06:11regenerative power

01:06:12of yours to the test

01:06:13and see just how far

01:06:14it can go.

01:06:15Abrasive jet,

01:06:17256.

01:06:41Did you just break

01:06:42its magic stone?

01:06:46You've got perfect timing.

01:06:48You saved us.

01:06:49No big deal.

01:06:50How about you buy me

01:06:51dinner from the cafeteria

01:06:52one night

01:06:52and we'll both consider

01:06:53your debt paid.

01:06:54Have it your way then.

01:06:56I'll treat you for a full week

01:06:57if that's the case.

01:06:58No, that hurts, you know.

01:07:00You're actually strong

01:07:01as an ox, Abel.

01:07:02Now I'm gonna hold you

01:07:04to the full week

01:07:04just for hitting me.

01:07:05Abel!

01:07:06Thank goodness.

01:07:08I'm so relieved.

01:07:10Sorry to make you worry.

01:07:18I'm Arthur Barrissis,

01:07:19advisor at the Bureau

01:07:20of Royal Magicians

01:07:21and current representative

01:07:23for the court's investigation

01:07:24into this affair.

01:07:25Good to meet you.

01:07:26I sincerely thank you

01:07:28for your help.

01:07:29Oh, no, please.

01:07:30Don't worry about it.

01:07:31Just glad I made it in time.

01:07:33And again.

01:07:35Indeed.

01:07:36Not all of us made it out.

01:07:38Once our magicians

01:07:39regain enough mana,

01:07:40we'll begin collecting

01:07:41their remains

01:07:41and gathering their effects

01:07:42for the families

01:07:43of the deceased.

01:07:44Hey,

01:07:45let's go grab

01:07:46the devil's magic stone.

01:07:48Whatever it's worth.

01:07:49We can split

01:07:50among the fallen's kin.

01:07:52That sounds good.

01:07:54Wait,

01:07:54did you just

01:07:55call them devils?

01:07:56Is that what

01:07:57these things are then?

01:07:58That's right.

01:07:59We've actually never

01:08:00encountered them

01:08:00ourselves before.

01:08:02Supposedly,

01:08:03it's been centuries

01:08:03since they've shown up

01:08:04in the central provinces.

01:08:06No clue why

01:08:06they're here now.

01:08:09Leonor called herself

01:08:10an Akuma,

01:08:11which makes me wonder

01:08:12if there's a difference

01:08:13between the two.

01:08:15Something bothering you?

01:08:16When I dropped down here

01:08:17from Layer 39,

01:08:18I could sense

01:08:19some sort of special field,

01:08:20like something was off.

01:08:22Though I strangely

01:08:23stopped feeling it

01:08:24at some point.

01:08:25Most likely

01:08:26because you beat

01:08:27the demon prince.

01:08:28Yeah,

01:08:28that makes sense.

01:08:30A safe exit

01:08:30following the defeat

01:08:31of a boss

01:08:31is the status quo

01:08:32in dungeons,

01:08:33after all.

01:08:34You're talking nonsense again.

01:08:37Also,

01:08:38when I used

01:08:38the probe spell

01:08:39to check out

01:08:40the 39th layer,

01:08:41I noticed

01:08:42something quite odd.

01:08:43Something odd,

01:08:44you say?

01:08:44It was near the stairs.

01:08:46So we'll check it out

01:08:47on our way back.

01:08:48There's a chance

01:08:49it may have something

01:08:50to do with

01:08:51what happened here.

01:08:55It's black.

01:08:57Back in my youth

01:08:58as an adventurer,

01:08:59I once encountered

01:09:00a devil

01:09:00in the western provinces,

01:09:02but I wasn't able

01:09:02to slay it.

01:09:03This is my first time

01:09:05seeing magic stone

01:09:06for one.

01:09:07As far as I recall,

01:09:08no record of their stone

01:09:10exists in the temples

01:09:11of the central provinces.

01:09:13Devils are said

01:09:13to appear suddenly

01:09:14and at random

01:09:15without the slightest warning.

01:09:17This has led

01:09:17to speculation

01:09:18and debate

01:09:19about whether or not

01:09:20they have the ability

01:09:21to use space-time magic.

01:09:23They appear

01:09:24at random, huh?

01:09:25I see.

01:09:36This is it!

01:09:40That's her.

01:09:42Oh, my!

01:09:43I dropped in

01:09:44to see what all

01:09:44the fuss was about

01:09:45and what do we have here,

01:09:46huh?

01:09:47Looks like a man-made altar.

01:09:49Pulse, demon lord!

01:09:51Prepare yourself

01:09:52for you die here!

01:09:54Huh?

01:09:54Was that?

01:09:56Did I just hear

01:09:57you whelps

01:09:57call me the demon lord?

01:09:59This altar

01:10:00was built upon

01:10:00great sacrifice.

01:10:02We lit the flame on it

01:10:03knowing full well

01:10:03that's how you summon

01:10:04the demon lord

01:10:05and suddenly

01:10:06you appeared!

01:10:07My, aren't I fortunate

01:10:09to meet someone

01:10:09so strong

01:10:10they'd try to summon

01:10:11a demon lord?

01:10:13My name is Roman,

01:10:14the hero.

01:10:15I'm the one

01:10:16who will slay

01:10:16the demon lord!

01:10:17Is that so?

01:10:19You say you're a hero?

01:10:21But of course you are!

01:10:22Ha ha ha ha!

01:10:25Why, you must be

01:10:26very strong, then.

01:10:27I think I'd like

01:10:28to play with you

01:10:29for a while.

01:10:30Come now!

01:10:31Come, come, come!

01:10:32I'm waiting!

01:10:34Let's get to the fight,

01:10:35shall we?

01:10:41Really?

01:10:45I had a feeling

01:10:46you were just

01:10:47a boring tease.

01:10:50You wretch!

01:10:55You're free, of course,

01:10:56to attack me.

01:10:57But know if you do,

01:10:58I'll have to return

01:10:59the favor.

01:11:00Shouldn't you be

01:11:01more concerned

01:11:02with saving

01:11:02your so-called hero?

01:11:05My, this is

01:11:06a fine sacred jewel.

01:11:08That fight

01:11:08was dreadfully dull,

01:11:09but collecting

01:11:10this beauty

01:11:10more than justifies

01:11:11the time I spent

01:11:12coming here.

01:11:14Hold on!

01:11:15Demon lord!

01:11:16Oh, right,

01:11:17and one more thing.

01:11:18For your information,

01:11:19I'm not a demon lord,

01:11:20so you can stop

01:11:21calling me one.

01:11:22How absurd!

01:11:23It's obvious

01:11:24how powerful you are.

01:11:25If you're not

01:11:26a demon lord,

01:11:27then what else

01:11:27could you be?

01:11:28I don't know

01:11:29how I'm supposed

01:11:29to answer that.

01:11:33Listen,

01:11:33if you all

01:11:34combined your powers

01:11:35and worked together,

01:11:36you could quite possibly

01:11:37defeat the current

01:11:38demon lord.

01:11:39What do you mean?

01:11:40I suppose

01:11:41someone should also

01:11:42let you know

01:11:43there are humans

01:11:44just as powerful

01:11:45as I am.

01:11:46Like,

01:11:46Ryo, I believe.

01:11:48That was quite

01:11:49an enjoyable battle

01:11:50for me.

01:11:50I would love

01:11:51to have another go

01:11:52at someone like him.

01:11:54You are

01:11:54the demon lord?

01:11:55Truly?

01:11:56Truly.

01:11:57My name is

01:11:58Leonor.

01:11:59And if you are

01:12:00a hero,

01:12:01you need to

01:12:02become stronger.

01:12:03At the very least,

01:12:04it's your duty

01:12:05to become the

01:12:05strongest among

01:12:06the humans.

01:12:07Otherwise,

01:12:08what good is

01:12:08being a hero?

01:12:09There's someone

01:12:10even stronger

01:12:11than me?

01:12:12Ten thousand

01:12:13times stronger

01:12:14than you,

01:12:14I'd say!

01:12:15You have a long

01:12:16way to go,

01:12:17hero!

01:12:27You see that?

01:12:28It's

01:12:29adventurers

01:12:29from Loon.

01:12:31I'd wager

01:12:32they're the ones

01:12:32that Clive

01:12:33and his people

01:12:33were going to hire.

01:12:34He needed some men

01:12:35to help secure

01:12:36the supply route

01:12:37from the surface

01:12:37to the eleventh layer,

01:12:38right?

01:12:39Well,

01:12:39that's interesting.

01:12:40The groups

01:12:41on our floors

01:12:41weren't the only

01:12:42ones who worked.

01:12:44I think this is it.

01:12:46The anomaly

01:12:47I picked up

01:12:48with Probe.

01:12:49I've never seen

01:12:50anything like it

01:12:50before.

01:12:51What is this thing?

01:12:52There are definite

01:12:54signs that it was

01:12:55giving off mana

01:12:55until mere moments

01:12:56ago.

01:12:57Good thing I've got

01:12:59a barrier bag.

01:13:00It blocks

01:13:01outside mana

01:13:01from getting in

01:13:02and vice versa,

01:13:03so it should be fine.

01:13:04You're taking it

01:13:05with you?

01:13:06My boy,

01:13:07it's effectively

01:13:07the only evidence

01:13:08we have.

01:13:11Riel,

01:13:12you really

01:13:13saved us this time.

01:13:14I should thank you

01:13:15again.

01:13:15You've already

01:13:16thanked me

01:13:17and promised

01:13:17to feed me

01:13:18for a week,

01:13:18so give it a rest.

01:13:19Of course,

01:13:20with that said,

01:13:21if you're really

01:13:22itching to show

01:13:22me your appreciation,

01:13:23there is some

01:13:24vital information

01:13:25I'd love to

01:13:25get my hands on.

01:13:26Well, sure,

01:13:27as long as it's

01:13:28something I know.

01:13:29You said there

01:13:30was another

01:13:30great curry shop

01:13:31right here in Loon,

01:13:32right?

01:13:33I need you to

01:13:34fess up and

01:13:34tell me where it is.

01:13:36Curry?

01:13:37Oh,

01:13:37you pronounce it weird.

01:13:39If that's all you want,

01:13:40I'd be more than glad to.

01:13:41I'll take you there

01:13:42personally.

01:13:43Ooh!

01:13:44All right,

01:13:44then.

01:13:45Sounds like a deal.

01:13:46Don't break it

01:13:47or I'll chop you

01:13:47into even smaller pieces

01:13:49than I did

01:13:49that devil back there.

01:13:51That's not funny.

01:13:52You have nothing

01:13:53to worry about

01:13:54as long as you

01:13:55keep your word.

01:14:01good job making it

01:14:02back, everyone.

01:14:03We've got plenty of

01:14:04food and drinks

01:14:04set up for you.

01:14:05Rio!

01:14:06Abel!

01:14:07All of you!

01:14:08You're all right!

01:14:09You're the one who

01:14:10got Rio for us,

01:14:11aren't you?

01:14:12We're in your debt.

01:14:14Man,

01:14:15I'm so relieved

01:14:15that Abel made it

01:14:16back safely.

01:14:17That was a nightmare.

01:14:20I thought it was

01:14:21the end of line

01:14:21for us this time.

01:14:23I really wish

01:14:23you'd just stick

01:14:24to jobs on the surface.

01:14:26But right now,

01:14:27I gotta deal

01:14:27with this mess.

01:14:29Ariel!

01:14:30The guards are saying

01:14:31you shook them off

01:14:32and charged on

01:14:33into the dungeon.

01:14:34What were you thinking?

01:14:36Sorry about that.

01:14:38Come now.

01:14:39Be lenient with him.

01:14:41Had he arrived

01:14:41any later,

01:14:42none of us

01:14:43would have made it

01:14:43back here alive.

01:14:44Huh?

01:14:45What do you mean?

01:14:47Why don't you come

01:14:48with me to the tent, Hugh?

01:14:49Let me fill you in

01:14:50on all the details.

01:14:52Well,

01:14:53if you say so,

01:14:54I can always get

01:14:55his story later.

01:14:57Rio,

01:14:57we're gonna have to

01:14:58discuss this matter

01:14:59another time,

01:15:00but for the moment,

01:15:01you have my thanks.

01:15:02I appreciate it.

01:15:05Safe for now.

01:15:08Devils!

01:15:09Indeed.

01:15:10There had to have been

01:15:11about 50 of them.

01:15:13Moreover,

01:15:13there was a demon prince

01:15:14among the ranks.

01:15:16Incredible.

01:15:17It's a wonder

01:15:18you managed to make it

01:15:19back alive in one piece.

01:15:20Any other party

01:15:21probably would have

01:15:22perished.

01:15:23We were in dire straits

01:15:24facing almost certain death.

01:15:27Abel fought admirably,

01:15:28but despite that,

01:15:29the demon prince

01:15:29still nearly killed him.

01:15:31What?

01:15:31If Abel didn't beat him,

01:15:33then who?

01:15:35Rio.

01:15:36He arrived

01:15:36just in the nick of time.

01:15:38Hugh,

01:15:39my boy,

01:15:39I must know

01:15:40where in the world

01:15:41did that young man

01:15:42come from?

01:15:43Sorry,

01:15:44but I honestly

01:15:44have no clue.

01:15:45I only know

01:15:46he helped Abel

01:15:47return from beyond

01:15:48the malefic mountains.

01:15:50I see.

01:15:51So he's the friend

01:15:52Abel brought back

01:15:53with him.

01:15:55Someone able

01:15:56to kill a demon prince

01:15:57in the blink of an eye.

01:15:58Very impressive.

01:16:00Wait,

01:16:00what did you say?

01:16:02Both the demon prince

01:16:04and its entourage

01:16:05were dead in seconds.

01:16:06I believe the word

01:16:08Abel used to describe

01:16:09Rio was

01:16:09unprecedented.

01:16:10Unprecedented.

01:16:11If that's true,

01:16:13I'm not sure

01:16:13unprecedented covers it.

01:16:15As far as I'm concerned,

01:16:16there's nothing more

01:16:17important in this moment

01:16:18than maintaining

01:16:19a good relationship

01:16:20between the kingdom

01:16:21of Knightley

01:16:22and this logic-defying

01:16:23magician that Abel

01:16:24has brought before us.

01:16:25In that vein,

01:16:27it'll be a problem

01:16:28if those brain-dead

01:16:29aristocrats

01:16:29start bothering Rio.

01:16:31Which is why

01:16:32I believe it's best

01:16:33to leave no official

01:16:34record of what

01:16:35he's done here.

01:16:36Understood?

01:16:37Yes,

01:16:37of course.

01:16:38I'll make sure

01:16:39to leave his name out

01:16:40when I write up

01:16:40my report as well.

01:16:42The town of Loon

01:16:43would rather not

01:16:43make an enemy

01:16:44out of him either.

01:16:53What's the matter,

01:16:54Nils?

01:16:54Surely a front-line

01:16:55fighter like yourself

01:16:56isn't tired already,

01:16:57right?

01:16:58Come on, Rio,

01:16:59slow down!

01:17:00How much stamina

01:17:01does this guy have?

01:17:03But only that,

01:17:03he's in front gear too!

01:17:05Remember,

01:17:05the most important thing

01:17:06is to keep moving

01:17:07even if you fall behind!

01:17:14I'm feeling unusually

01:17:16restless.

01:17:17Maybe because

01:17:17yesterday's battle

01:17:18was so boring.

01:17:23I know that smell.

01:17:27welcome!

01:17:28Come in!

01:17:30Huh?

01:17:31Sarah's here?

01:17:36Hi there!

01:17:37Hey!

01:17:38I didn't realize

01:17:39you knew about this place.

01:17:41Oh,

01:17:41I didn't.

01:17:42I was just following

01:17:43the smell of curry.

01:17:44Really?

01:17:45You've got a good nose!

01:17:46This place serves

01:17:47the best curry

01:17:48in all of Loon.

01:17:49You've got to try it.

01:17:51It's incredible.

01:17:53What can I get you?

01:17:54A plate of curry,

01:17:55please.

01:17:56What level of spice

01:17:57would you like in it?

01:17:58Let's go with

01:17:59medium hot.

01:18:00Me too!

01:18:01I'll take another

01:18:01plate of medium hot.

01:18:03Two medium hot

01:18:04curries coming up!

01:18:07Oh,

01:18:07elves have a high

01:18:08metabolism.

01:18:09I promise

01:18:10it's not like

01:18:11I'm trying to compete

01:18:12with you or anything.

01:18:13I wasn't thinking

01:18:14that,

01:18:14but it's good to know.

01:18:18Anyway,

01:18:19I've been meaning

01:18:20to ask,

01:18:20where do you live,

01:18:21Riel?

01:18:22For now,

01:18:22I'm staying in the

01:18:23dorms provided

01:18:23by the guild.

01:18:24The dorms?

01:18:26Isn't that where

01:18:26the rookie adventurers

01:18:27live?

01:18:28But you've been

01:18:29to the Northside

01:18:30Library,

01:18:30which means you

01:18:31must be at least

01:18:32D-rank,

01:18:32right?

01:18:33Uh-huh.

01:18:34When I first

01:18:34registered,

01:18:35I received a rank

01:18:36up to D-rank.

01:18:37That's really

01:18:37impressive.

01:18:39Well,

01:18:40makes sense

01:18:40considering how

01:18:41strong you seem.

01:18:42I don't think

01:18:43anyone's ever

01:18:43told me that

01:18:44before.

01:18:45Oh,

01:18:45is that so?

01:18:46They must not

01:18:47know what to be

01:18:47on the lookout

01:18:48for then.

01:18:49It's their loss.

01:18:51Thank you

01:18:52for your patience.

01:18:52Here's your

01:18:53medium hot curry.

01:18:59This is delicious.

01:19:00I told you

01:19:01it was the best

01:19:02in town.

01:19:06That was

01:19:06a lovely meal.

01:19:08Uh-huh.

01:19:09That really

01:19:09hit the spot.

01:19:11Actually,

01:19:11Sarah,

01:19:12how come

01:19:12I've never

01:19:12seen you

01:19:13at the guild

01:19:13even though

01:19:14you're an

01:19:14adventurer?

01:19:15Well,

01:19:16until recently

01:19:16I was working

01:19:17out of the

01:19:17royal capital.

01:19:18And since I

01:19:19have a long-term

01:19:20contract,

01:19:20I don't have

01:19:21any need

01:19:21to stop by

01:19:22the guild.

01:19:22What have

01:19:23you been doing?

01:19:24I've been

01:19:24teaching.

01:19:25I'm a swordsmanship

01:19:26instructor for

01:19:27Margrave Lune's

01:19:28Order of Knights.

01:19:29Swordsmanship,

01:19:29huh?

01:19:30Huh?

01:19:31I'll have you

01:19:32know that I'm

01:19:32quite a lot

01:19:33stronger than I

01:19:34look.

01:19:34Oh,

01:19:35that's not

01:19:35what I meant.

01:19:36Come to think

01:19:37of it,

01:19:37Ryo.

01:19:38Do you have

01:19:38any plans

01:19:39after this?

01:19:40If you have

01:19:41any free time,

01:19:42would you like

01:19:42to join me

01:19:43for a mock

01:19:43duel?

01:19:44Huh?

01:19:52From the

01:19:53moment you

01:19:53walked in

01:19:54the restaurant,

01:19:55I could sense

01:19:55an air of

01:19:56frustration

01:19:56coming from

01:19:57you.

01:19:58If I had

01:19:58to describe

01:19:59it,

01:20:00it's almost

01:20:00like you've

01:20:01got an itch

01:20:01that you

01:20:01just can't

01:20:02seem to

01:20:02scratch,

01:20:03right?

01:20:04I'm curious.

01:20:05How did

01:20:06you know

01:20:06I fight

01:20:07with a

01:20:07sword?

01:20:08It's

01:20:08pretty obvious

01:20:09from your

01:20:09gait and

01:20:10posture.

01:20:11Also,

01:20:12since we

01:20:12both use

01:20:13swords and

01:20:13magic to

01:20:14fight,

01:20:14it makes

01:20:15it that

01:20:15much easier

01:20:16to spot.

01:20:17Ryo,

01:20:18are you

01:20:19ready to

01:20:19begin?

01:20:20I am.

01:20:21Let's do

01:20:22this.

01:20:23Then,

01:20:24start!

01:20:35wow,

01:20:36you're

01:20:36good!

01:20:37Please,

01:20:38your speed

01:20:38is incredible,

01:20:39Sarah.

01:20:39But you

01:20:40were able to

01:20:40dodge my

01:20:41attack.

01:20:41No matter

01:20:42how hard

01:20:42they tried,

01:20:43none of the

01:20:43knights could

01:20:44ever avoid

01:20:44that move.

01:20:45And if you

01:20:46were able to

01:20:46react to that,

01:20:47what could that

01:20:48mean?

01:20:49Okay,

01:20:50this time I'm

01:20:51going to get

01:20:51serious.

01:20:55She's

01:20:55gotten even

01:20:56faster!

01:20:58The strikes

01:20:59are quick

01:20:59and heavy!

01:21:01I can't keep

01:21:02up!

01:21:06I surrender.

01:21:10That was

01:21:10amazing,

01:21:11Ryo!

01:21:12Huh?

01:21:14Sorry,

01:21:16but you blocked

01:21:17everything while

01:21:17I was using

01:21:18wind robe!

01:21:19You're

01:21:19incredible!

01:21:20Oh,

01:21:21I get it now.

01:21:22You were

01:21:22using wind

01:21:22magic to

01:21:23increase your

01:21:24agility.

01:21:25Honestly,

01:21:25I think that's

01:21:26way more

01:21:26impressive than

01:21:27anything I

01:21:27did.

01:21:28You say

01:21:28that,

01:21:29but your

01:21:29defenses were

01:21:30impenetrable!

01:21:30How'd you

01:21:31do that?

01:21:31Of course,

01:21:32you've worked

01:21:32hard to get

01:21:33where you

01:21:33are,

01:21:33but I

01:21:34want

01:21:34details!

01:21:35Well,

01:21:36I'd have

01:21:36to say

01:21:36that it's

01:21:37all thanks

01:21:37to my

01:21:37mentor.

01:21:38He's the

01:21:39one who

01:21:39gave me

01:21:39this robe.

01:21:40The

01:21:41fairy king

01:21:41taught you

01:21:41how to

01:21:42fight?

01:21:43Hold on,

01:21:43come to

01:21:44think of

01:21:44it,

01:21:45you mentioned

01:21:45the fairy

01:21:45king before,

01:21:46right?

01:21:47How did

01:21:48you know

01:21:48I'd met

01:21:48him?

01:21:49Ah,

01:21:50that's

01:21:51right.

01:21:51Well,

01:21:52the thing

01:21:52is,

01:21:52elves are

01:21:53actually

01:21:53kind of

01:21:54half-fairies.

01:21:55Because of

01:21:56that,

01:21:56we have a

01:21:56special

01:21:57connection

01:21:57to the

01:21:57fairy king,

01:21:58and I

01:21:58was able

01:21:59to intuit

01:21:59your

01:21:59relationship

01:22:00when we

01:22:00first met.

01:22:01That

01:22:01makes

01:22:02sense.

01:22:02Sort

01:22:03of like

01:22:03a racial

01:22:04treat.

01:22:05Another

01:22:05thing that

01:22:05clued me

01:22:06in was

01:22:06your robe.

01:22:07The

01:22:07fairy king

01:22:07must have

01:22:08taken quite

01:22:08a liking

01:22:09to you

01:22:09if he

01:22:09gave

01:22:10you

01:22:10that.

01:22:11think

01:22:15really

01:22:15that

01:22:15odd,

01:22:16Sarah?

01:22:16I

01:22:17wouldn't

01:22:17say

01:22:17odd,

01:22:18but at

01:23:13Guildmaster?

01:23:14You're

01:23:14heading to

01:23:15the dorms,

01:23:15right?

01:23:16Climb

01:23:16aboard,

01:23:17I need

01:23:17to talk

01:23:17to you.

01:23:19Uh...

01:23:22You're

01:23:22an intelligent

01:23:23young man,

01:23:24so I'm

01:23:24sure you've

01:23:24already guessed

01:23:25that this

01:23:25is about

01:23:26yesterday's

01:23:26events.

01:23:27Mm-hmm.

01:23:28Relax,

01:23:29there's no

01:23:29need to

01:23:30be nervous.

01:23:31Sir

01:23:31Arthur

01:23:32filled me

01:23:32in on

01:23:33what

01:23:33happened

01:23:33with the

01:23:33devils.

01:23:34I'm

01:23:34truly

01:23:35grateful

01:23:35that you

01:23:35stepped

01:23:36in.

01:23:36But

01:23:37even

01:23:37so,

01:23:38it

01:23:38doesn't

01:23:39change

01:23:39the

01:23:39fact

01:23:39that

01:23:39you

01:23:40ignored

01:23:40a

01:23:40guard's

01:23:40order

01:23:41and

01:23:41entered

01:23:41the dungeon.

01:23:42Which is

01:23:43why,

01:23:43as punishment

01:23:44for that,

01:23:45I have a job

01:23:45for you.

01:23:46I don't

01:23:47understand.

01:23:48That's

01:23:48simple.

01:23:49You haven't

01:23:49taken a

01:23:50non-dungeon

01:23:51job since

01:23:51you got here.

01:23:52So I

01:23:53figured we

01:23:53could fix

01:23:54that now.

01:23:54What do

01:23:55you think

01:23:55of that?

01:23:56Um,

01:23:57sir,

01:23:57maybe I

01:23:58should keep

01:23:58my mouth

01:23:59shut,

01:23:59but that

01:23:59doesn't seem

01:24:00like much

01:24:00of a

01:24:01punishment.

01:24:01I think

01:24:02it's fitting

01:24:02for the

01:24:03crime.

01:24:04Well,

01:24:04I'm not

01:24:05gonna argue.

01:24:06I appreciate

01:24:07your consideration.

01:24:08It's fine.

01:24:09You're helping

01:24:10me out,

01:24:10too.
