00:02I'm surprised. Didn't expect to find a target in a place like this.
00:07Xenos, no! What did you do?
00:10I did my job. I'm currently working on a different case. I have also been investigating a string of child
00:16abductions in the slums.
00:17Xenos would never...
00:19You are clearly an elf child. This man is clearly a human being.
00:23He's not your family, but here you are.
00:25I found him at last. Pretty clever trick hiding out and setting up shop in such a desolate area.
00:31You've got it wrong! Xenos found me and took me in!
00:34Which is an illegal act unless conducted through proper channels.
00:37You're not listening to me! He saved me! Xenos rescued me, okay?
00:42What? Was I wrong?
00:44As wrong as you possibly can be!
00:46My apologies, then. That was only a non-lethal round meant for apprehending suspects.
00:51Although he won't be waking up for a while.
00:53I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my work. But I have a short temper, which is my only real
00:58flaw.
00:58Oh, you don't say. And I thought your terrible sense of direction was your only real flaw.
01:04What in the world?
01:08Sigh...
01:08過ごしよも帳に 光さす憂劣ない未来生きる現象の証明よ
01:17愛の傷逝け手まで
01:30I'm not a bad guy.
01:50使い出かえる俺
01:53誰かの正義に勝てなくて
01:54孤独せつだ言える
01:59孤独の栄光は知っちゃいないけどね
02:00生きて生きて
02:02戦いなんか振って
02:04抱き寄せて
02:05ストールも飯食ってる
02:10君の心臓が平穏なんならば
02:12満足せん
02:15誰も彼も誰も彼も
02:16唯一生命園
02:25ära
02:38what in the world I truly Apologize. my deduction was off I'm relieved to see
02:46You're all right. But how?
02:47I just used some defensive magic.
02:49You must be joking. No ordinary defensive magic can stymie my magic guns.
02:54Well, it was some pretty basic stuff as far as I know.
02:57Is this a trick of some sort?
03:01I see.
03:03Hmm, yes.
03:04Well, you're most certainly unharmed.
03:06But I don't see how.
03:08This has been a day of inexplicable events.
03:11Yeah, I think I can safely file getting shot by someone I've never met before into that category.
03:16Are you some sort of illustrious sorcerer?
03:19Devoted to the craft of defensive magic from an early age?
03:22Tirelessly mastering your field and earning you the name,
03:25He Who Knows Defensive Magic?
03:27Nope, none of that. And that is an awful name.
03:29I have a lack of creativity when it comes to names, but that's my only flaw.
03:32How many onlys is that?
03:34There is no other explanation that makes any sense, though.
03:37You may hide the truth from others,
03:39but there's no deceiving Vice Commander Krishna of the Royal Order of Nats.
03:44You're a Vice Commander?
03:46Of the Royal Order?
03:47I am.
03:48And you are Mr. Zenos?
03:50I do hope you will cooperate with my investigation.
03:53Coo-coo-coo!
03:55I put up the signal to warn everyone to keep their distance, but still.
03:59Fingers crossed they don't come waltzing in here.
04:02I've actually come to the slums on a top-secret mission of grave importance.
04:06Doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose to share that with me?
04:09The mission is to locate a dangerous individual and take them into custody.
04:13It keeps getting less secret.
04:15It will be difficult for you to cooperate if I don't offer at least some specifics.
04:19I never actually agreed to cooperate, you know.
04:22Cooperation is mandatory for every citizen!
04:25Stringency must be one of her only flaws.
04:28All right, so who are you looking for, then?
04:32The Mediator.
04:33Whoever ended the feud between the factions in the slums.
04:37Something wrong?
04:38Uh, no.
04:39Nothing at all.
04:41Oh, you little...
04:43As an enforcer of order, I can't overlook the potential threat presented by someone who wields that kind of power.
04:49But the Demi-humans refuse to give me anything, even after I shook them down.
04:53Whoever this person is, he's a master of controlling people.
04:56Such a trait!
04:57He must be a servant of the devil!
04:59That's going a little far.
05:01Maybe he's not the kind of guy who likes the spotlight, so he cared more about stopping the fighting than
05:06taking credit for it.
05:07Maybe he's really shy, and it would be cruel to keep looking for him.
05:10Are you telling me you know the Mediator?
05:13What?
05:13No, of course not.
05:14Just speculating is all.
05:18Somebody with the power to unify these rival factions?
05:21That is a level of influence that could threaten the nation itself in time.
05:26That sounds kind of big.
05:28I seriously doubt he's looking to cause the nation any trouble.
05:31Sure, he might be a stickler for things like money, but deep down, I bet he really cares about other
05:36people, and simply doesn't like seeing anybody get hurt.
05:39Lily.
05:41It sounds like you know the Mediator, Elf Girl.
05:44What? No! No, it doesn't!
05:45I don't know anybody! I don't know a thing!
05:50Well, no matter. I anticipated this difficulty in finding his trail.
05:55Sounds like you need to get to work, so why don't I show you the way back to town?
05:58You seem awfully eager for me to leave.
06:00Well, no, I only meant that you've got an important mission.
06:04Yes, you may have a point.
06:06I suppose I should be on my way.
06:13Why is there a bed down here in your library?
06:15Uh, oh, that? It's an old bed no one's using, so I brought it down here to throw it out.
06:21In that case, I would greatly appreciate it if you could allow me its comforts.
06:25I've had trouble finding a base of operations.
06:29Here, I can remain close to my investigation. It is ideal lodging.
06:33I will, of course, pay you for my stay.
06:35It would allow me to weed out this freshly sprouted root of evil.
06:38I must capture him myself.
06:41First a servant of the devil, and now a root of evil, huh?
06:44And so, with painful predictability, the clinic welcomed a dangerous woman with open arms.
06:52Here, nothing fancy.
06:54Thanks. It looks great.
06:57Huh?
06:58Pardon me.
06:59My sensitivity to hot food and beverages is my one flaw.
07:03You sure have a lot of flaws.
07:04Why would you say that?
07:05Did I not just tell you I only have one?
07:08Sure.
07:09You're paying attention.
07:11Something wrong, Lily?
07:13Sinus, make room.
07:20And now, my usual.
07:22I'm sorry, what?
07:23I said, my usual.
07:35It's jealousy.
07:36Will you please leave?
07:38Are you alright?
07:39Oh, it's nothing.
07:41Okay.
07:42Oh.
07:43I've got invisible, and I'm whispering so she won't hear.
07:46It's more like you're trying to give me a heart attack.
07:48But go on.
07:49Why would Lily be jealous?
07:51She's trying to prove her dominance to this random new challenger.
07:55Ooh, look at me.
07:56You'll never be as close to Sinus as I am.
07:59She refuses to tolerate this joyless and haughty woman who impulsively blasted you with a magic gun.
08:04Not to mention the insufferable contrast between her stern demeanor and sensitive tongue.
08:09So what form will her fury take next?
08:12The bell has been rung.
08:13Now let battle commence!
08:15Quiet down.
08:17Your tea is still piping hot, Sinus.
08:19I'll blow on it and cool it down for you.
08:34Oh, Sinus!
08:35Guess I have to use the secret weapon Carmilla taught me.
08:39Huh?
08:40So, Sinus, um, later tonight, I hope you're not expecting to get any sleep.
08:49She's really tired out.
08:51Yep.
08:54I win.
08:59What's up?
09:00I was thinking about what you said.
09:02How you had rescued her from some slave traders.
09:05Do you know who they are?
09:06Sadly, no idea.
09:08Too bad.
09:09I would love nothing more than to bring those criminals before the wheels of justice.
09:14Shooting innocent people isn't going to help with that.
09:16I said I am truly sorry.
09:18I have a short temper.
09:19It's my one and only flaw.
09:21And yet, you have so, so many.
09:23Like everyone.
09:25I am meant to be a perfect member of the Royal Guard, as well as a hero to the people.
09:29I'm allowed a single flaw at most, and even that is frowned upon.
09:34Answer me this.
09:35As a powerful mage who has perfected defensive magic...
09:38Still latched onto that?
09:40If someone were to master healing magic the way you've mastered the art of defense,
09:44would they be capable of fully regenerating a mangled arm?
09:48Uh, surely they are...
09:49No, it can't be possible.
09:51Not for anyone other than a saint or a handful of the world's greatest healers.
09:55Why? What does it matter?
09:57In the midst of a duel with Sophia the Tornado, I did a fair amount of damage to her arm.
10:02Yet, when I saw her and her minions in the slums, she didn't seem to have a scratch on it.
10:07If there is a person with the skill to heal such grievous wounds,
10:10then their words might have real gravity amongst the factions.
10:15Another investigative thread to follow up on tomorrow.
10:18I will find the mediator.
10:20I'll arrest him, and I'll bring the origin of all iniquity to justice.
10:24Origin of iniquity?
10:25Honey, you really keep leveling up.
10:28Just curious, but why do you feel so threatened by the slums?
10:31It's not really much of a story to tell.
10:34My mother was murdered by someone who was living there.
10:38Hmm?
10:39She was a profoundly kind-hearted woman.
10:41She visited the slums regularly to feed the hungry.
10:45Helping others made her truly happy.
10:49Until, one day, she returned to us as a corpse.
10:52I was told they killed her while attempting to steal her wedding ring.
10:56Her infinite compassion had helped to save so many from hunger.
11:00But no one was there to save her.
11:03Her story, it's what's driven mine.
11:06It's why I swore to become a mighty hero capable of scouring crime from the slums
11:10and preventing others from suffering the same fate that my mother did.
11:13I achieved distinction at an early age
11:16and became the youngest vice commander in the history of the Royal Knights.
11:19My strong will and determination to carry out my duty
11:22eventually had earned me the nickname Iron Rose.
11:26Some people use it to imply that I'm uncompromising and unwilling to listen.
11:30But there's an even more widely acknowledged connotation the name carries.
11:35You see my face?
11:37Wouldn't you say it's like an iron mask?
11:40When my mom died,
11:41the act of smiling became unnatural and difficult.
11:49I shall return later tonight, then.
11:54Don't pay her any mind, Zenos.
11:56Her story isn't all that unusual.
11:58I've seen a lot in my time,
12:00witnessed all the different ways a person's life can turn out.
12:04Did you come down just to make me feel better?
12:06That's kind.
12:09Uh...
12:10Stop!
12:10I'm simply not fond of all this morbid mawkishness.
12:13What about the flag?
12:15Right.
12:16I guess I'll take it down for now.
12:19Please try to be more careful.
12:21Really sorry for the hassle, Doc.
12:23Oh, by the way, there's something you should know.
12:25One of my boys said that the night is...
12:27Sorry to impose, but I got lost.
12:33What are you doing here?
12:54What are you doing here?
13:07What are you doing here?
13:10I don't know.
13:10I don't know.
13:12I don't know.
13:14I don't know.
13:31I don't know.
13:33I don't know.
13:34I don't know.
13:36I don't know.
13:37nice enough. Fine. Then tell me who the ringleader is. It's Kalindor. That's even less believable.
13:43He's a man who has dedicated his life to teaching more things. There you go again, refusing to look
13:48beneath the surface of things. That's what makes the Mediator so different. He doesn't care about
13:53status or whether someone has sharp teeth or fur. He sees right through that noise. He only cares
13:58about healing whoever needs healing. Hell, hate to admit it, but he'd probably save your life too,
14:03if he ever saw your sorry butt dying. So long as you could pay the price. He's the opposite of
14:08folks
14:09like you who think the slums are the source of all evil. Your idea of justice? It's nothing but a
14:14sick
14:14joke. How dare you? I can't shoot her with you standing there. Well, bloodstains are hard to get
14:22out, and I can't let you kill my patients. Patients? Sorry I didn't mention it, but yeah, I'm the one
14:29you're looking for. That's impossible. You're the Mediator? Guilty. I'm not buying it. The criminal
14:36I've been tracking is a master of healing magic, and you've demonstrated that you specialize in
14:40defensive magic. It would be impossible to wield two kinds at such a high level. I'm not a master
14:45of anything, and both types of magic are concerned with amplifying the body's natural functions,
14:50so they're similar. I've taken a lot of magic lessons and have never heard logic like that.
14:55But still, you've made one thing quite clear. You've sided with the Demi-Humans and the
14:59Mediator instead of Crown and Country. I have no choice but to find a different base of operations.
15:05Krishna.
15:06The people of Herzath deserve a truly flawless hero. You shouldn't underestimate me.
15:16Maybe it's deliberate, but she's heading in the opposite direction of the slums.
15:20Should have gave her a compass. Wait. She isn't. Is she?
15:29It's not every day that one has the pleasure of an unexpected visit from the Vice Commander
15:34of the Royal Knights.
15:35Lord Kalindor, are you aware that a ring of thieves has been operating in this area recently?
15:41If you're referring to the Gang of Lizardmen, then yes, I'm quite aware.
15:44Right. And to address the issue, our intention is to enhance local security.
15:48We would appreciate it if you and your fellow nobles would help us by practicing strict vigilance.
15:54Hmm.
15:55On that note, to ensure your safety, I'd like to do a security assessment of your manner.
16:00That is certainly an admirable cause. If only you had told me beforehand, I would have had time to arrange
16:05the proper preparations.
16:07We wish to assess your usual level of security. I beg your pardon, but it must be a surprise inspection.
16:13Ho, ho, ho. If you insist.
16:18Zofia claims that Lord Kalindor is the true ringleader, but the lizard was clearly lying.
16:24Are you satisfied yet, Lady Krishna?
16:27Your security's quite thorough. However, if I had to point out one flaw, it would be that-
16:32Oh? Is something wrong?
16:33I fear I've imposed on your time long enough. Before I leave, may I have permission to use your washroom?
16:39Of course, by all means.
16:42Lord Kalindor is the upper mid-echelon of the aristocracy.
16:45So why such extreme security?
16:47And then there's the distribution. The rear entrance has considerably more guards than the front.
16:52What? It couldn't be.
17:09Oh, no.
17:14Who's there? Someone scary?
17:16There's no need to fear. From here on out, no harm will come to you children.
17:20But who are you?
17:22Who am I? I'm the hero that's going to save you.
17:32Magic gun. I must admit, I've taken a liking to the weapons you knights use.
17:37It's the perfect tool for keeping insolent brats in line.
17:42A lowly knight like you should know better than to sniff around the business dealings of a nobleman.
17:47Your single function in life is to keep the rabble in line and keep silent, understand?
17:52Ha ha ha! The flawless Iron Rose, reduced to a wounded heap of suffering.
17:58Forgive me, children. Mother.
18:02I was wrong. It seems I'm not really a hero after all.
18:07Oh, damn. Don't tell me that broad's still alive.
18:10I knew we should have taken the scenic route.
18:13Zofia, you're here? I don't get it.
18:17This was a dangerous move, and a bold one.
18:19But don't take that as a compliment. It's a flaw.
18:22I went out of my way for this house call, so don't be shocked if the cost annihilates your savings.
18:27Who are you?
18:29I'm nobody, just an underground healer.
18:32And I'm his sultry reptilian guide.
18:34Cut the comedy act. You're one of those filthy lizard men.
18:38It's basically a public service for me to ensure there's one less thief prowling the slums.
18:43Now stand down!
18:45Don't hold your breath.
18:49Ha ha ha ha ha ha! What a fool!
18:52That actually hurt a little.
18:54Hmm?
18:55How are you still alive?
18:57You!
18:58No!
18:59This can't be happening!
19:00It can't! It can't! It can't!
19:12What's this?
19:13Who do you think you are, you rothian?
19:16Please!
19:17A street rat like you dares to point that gun towards an aristocrat!
19:21Maybe you shouldn't be shooting people unless you're prepared to be shot yourself.
19:25No! Wait!
19:26Just lower the gun and I'll give you whatever you ask for!
19:29To be honest, I'm not in a big hurry to murder a stranger.
19:33It's not like we have bad blood or anything.
19:35All you've ever done to me personally is try to blast me a new one.
19:39I beg your forgiveness.
19:41Nobles rarely apologize.
19:43Show a little mercy!
19:45Denied.
19:46What?
19:47You don't mean it!
19:48Wait!
19:49I can take a hint!
19:50You want me to apologize to the female!
19:53Right!
19:54I was absolutely remiss!
19:56Please forgive me for so rudely firing at you!
20:01That was a sorry excuse for an apology.
20:04And let's be real.
20:05We're not the ones who should be groveling to right now.
20:07But you're the only ones I tried to shoot today!
20:10I'm gonna have to punish you for being so dense.
20:13You really think I'd let you get away with hurting my future patients?
20:21Did you kill him?
20:24The limiter was on, so he should survive.
20:26It's not exactly my duty to be judge and jury, you know.
20:30I'm baiting.
20:32Please, listen closely.
20:34Report what happened to the Royal Knights.
20:37That sounds like a lot of pesky paperwork.
20:39I'll leave the bureaucracy to you.
20:41Seems you're down a left arm, a chunk of your torso, and some vital organs.
20:46Aren't you being a bit dramatic for such a minor injury?
20:49I thought you were the Iron Rose.
20:52Better not throw a fit when you see my invoice.
20:55What are you?
20:57Mr. Xenos.
20:58Why does everyone want to chat when I'm trying to work?
21:01You're a hero!
21:02Nothing that impressive, I'm afraid.
21:04Just an underground healer from a run-down clinic.
21:10It's a miracle!
21:11With this level of healing proficiency, you really must be the famous mediator.
21:16I literally told you I was.
21:18I have failed in my own heroic endeavors.
21:21I realize that now that I'm standing before a truly flawless hero like you.
21:25Hate to break it to you, but there's no such thing.
21:28Fighting for a good cause means getting hurt sometimes, no matter how strong you are.
21:32Which would be where healers like me come in.
21:34Or so I was taught, anyway.
21:37I bet if you asked them, they'd say you're the hero here.
21:41You mean the children?
21:42Hello? What's happening?
21:45Is the hero lady still gonna save us?
21:47You're the one who first took action.
21:49There's a word for that.
21:50Hero.
21:51I don't believe it.
21:54Could it be true?
21:56Kids!
21:57It's over!
21:58I'm right here!
21:59Everything's going to be okay now!
22:01I'll have you for soon!
22:02I've never met a real hero before!
22:05For so long I believed my mother was a pitiful fool.
22:08Yet, looking back, I recall her eyes were always smiling as she fed the children of the slums without judgment
22:15or hate.
22:16And you know what?
22:17I bet she was a hero to them, in the same way that you are to all these kids whose
22:22lives you just saved.
22:23My mother.
22:25She was awkward, panicky, short-tempered, and so very forgetful.
22:30She was a truly flawed creature.
22:33But still, regardless of her many shortcomings, I know without a doubt she was my hero.
22:48Doc, it won't be long before the rest of the royal knights show up here.
22:53Time to resume life in the shadows.
22:55Mr. Zenos!
23:00I have to know!
23:02Why did you save my life back there?
23:04You owe me money?
23:06Huh?
23:07In case you forgot, you agreed to pay for using the clinic's bed.
23:10It's much harder to collect a debt from a corpse.
23:13Naturally, I'm adding the cost of your healing to your substantial tab.
23:17My tab, huh?
23:28Look at that.
23:29I guess you can smile.
23:31I'm smiling.
23:33How unusual.
23:34I forgot how it feels.
23:36A bit more practice probably wouldn't hurt.
23:39Hell, I think that smile only ups your creep factor.
23:42Hey, that's to be expected.
23:44It's been a long time for me.
23:45And not being good at smiling happens to be my only...
23:49No.
23:51One of my many flaws.
23:53Got it?
23:56A place to belong.
