WEBVTT
00:03.480 --> 00:05.770
Shadow magic... activate!
00:31.150 --> 00:32.600
Reel him in!
00:51.440 --> 00:52.480
Get back!
01:00.060 --> 01:01.440
Keep calm.
01:25.150 --> 01:27.520
It really does take its toll on you, huh?
01:33.270 --> 01:34.690
We survived...
01:35.310 --> 01:38.150
Indeed. You did great.
03:13.520 --> 03:17.230
Akira, it's thanks to you that
we all made it back alive.
03:17.310 --> 03:20.100
You're the one who helped me wrangle my magic
03:20.190 --> 03:22.440
when it nearly went berserk in training.
03:24.600 --> 03:30.560
I'd never even heard of this
"Shadow Magic" Extra Skill before.
03:30.900 --> 03:36.100
It is highly powerful, but it's
hard to control and saps you.
03:36.190 --> 03:38.940
Try not to use it unless needs must.
03:39.020 --> 03:40.650
Yeah, I know.
03:40.730 --> 03:44.440
That aside, I brought you something.
03:45.100 --> 03:50.350
It's called a "katana."
The very first hero forged it himself.
03:53.650 --> 03:55.520
Why give it to me and not the hero?
03:55.600 --> 03:57.900
The hero has his holy sword.
03:57.980 --> 04:02.560
Besides, if he were to carry this,
the king would take notice.
04:02.650 --> 04:04.520
And why would that be an issue?
04:04.600 --> 04:07.560
Well, I stole it from the royal armory.
04:07.650 --> 04:08.690
What?
04:13.730 --> 04:14.980
Thanks. I'll take it.
04:16.270 --> 04:17.270
What's it called?
04:17.350 --> 04:19.850
Its name is engraved next to the hilt.
04:19.940 --> 04:22.270
Not that I can tell you what it says.
04:23.690 --> 04:25.270
Yato-no-Kami, "God of the Night Blade."
04:26.270 --> 04:27.900
There's more inscribed here.
04:28.560 --> 04:34.020
"I pray this finds its way to you, my successor,
and guides you in your hour of need."
04:36.980 --> 04:38.940
I'm starting to want to meet this guy.
04:39.230 --> 04:42.310
If possible, I would've loved to meet him too.
04:43.600 --> 04:45.440
Speaking of the hero...
04:45.520 --> 04:46.560
Oh, right!
04:50.730 --> 04:54.980
The curse afflicting him is vicious.
It refused to be dispelled.
04:56.270 --> 04:58.310
I have a good idea who's responsible.
05:02.480 --> 05:04.440
Tsukasa Satou...
05:05.060 --> 05:09.940
May you be a puppet, a false hero.
05:15.150 --> 05:16.190
Who are you?
05:16.650 --> 05:19.100
That takes care of the curse on the hero.
05:19.900 --> 05:23.850
How could you enter a lady's room
without her permission? Have some shame—
05:23.940 --> 05:27.310
A lady doesn't use curses to control
other people. You're more like a witch.
05:28.440 --> 05:29.980
Why are you doing this?
05:30.480 --> 05:33.150
All I do is for His Majesty.
05:33.770 --> 05:36.310
Why follow his orders? And to what end?
05:41.230 --> 05:45.060
All I do is for His Majesty.
05:56.600 --> 05:58.230
Ryuusuke Oka.
05:58.900 --> 06:00.600
Sakura Inoue.
06:01.350 --> 06:02.850
Natsumi Sakata.
06:04.940 --> 06:07.480
You were right on the money, Commander Saran.
06:08.480 --> 06:11.850
So he still hasn't given up, huh?
06:12.270 --> 06:13.310
"He"?
06:14.480 --> 06:17.690
Wait, did you reveal
yourself to the princess?
06:17.770 --> 06:20.270
I wanted to know what she thinks she's doing.
06:21.020 --> 06:23.150
I couldn't get a straight answer, though.
06:23.810 --> 06:25.060
At this point,
06:25.150 --> 06:27.520
she's merely the king's puppet.
06:29.650 --> 06:31.650
You should turn in for the night.
06:32.560 --> 06:36.190
But I wouldn't lay your head
in the royal castle.
06:36.270 --> 06:37.350
Why not?
06:38.350 --> 06:41.980
The princess will proceed to curse
everyone other than the hero.
06:42.100 --> 06:46.190
But she can't touch you
because she knows nothing about you.
06:46.560 --> 06:49.100
You mean she'll try to kill me instead?
06:49.190 --> 06:52.020
They're bound to search every
nook and cranny of the castle.
06:52.940 --> 06:56.690
You're not gonna scold me
for revealing myself?
06:56.770 --> 07:00.190
All a part of youthful folly.
07:00.270 --> 07:02.690
It's our job as adults to make up for that.
07:05.150 --> 07:08.810
I wish my world had more adults like you.
07:09.150 --> 07:12.060
If that's how you feel,
take me with you when you go!
07:12.560 --> 07:16.350
I'd love to see your world.
Show me around the place, will you?
07:16.440 --> 07:19.310
On second thought, I take it back.
Sounds like a pain.
07:28.730 --> 07:30.940
What's going on so early?
07:34.270 --> 07:35.310
What's the matter?
07:35.400 --> 07:36.440
Akira?
07:36.520 --> 07:37.650
Where were you?
07:37.980 --> 07:40.270
Looks like the curse is broken.
07:40.770 --> 07:42.150
I was sleeping.
07:42.560 --> 07:44.440
So, what's all the fuss?
07:44.770 --> 07:45.810
It's...
07:46.400 --> 07:47.520
the commander.
07:56.690 --> 07:57.730
This can't be...
07:58.770 --> 08:01.520
Commander Saran?
08:04.770 --> 08:07.690
How? What happened?!
08:07.770 --> 08:10.230
Oh, quit hamming it up.
08:11.350 --> 08:13.900
Isn't that the dagger you were using?
08:17.270 --> 08:19.480
You all saw what happened to my dagger!
08:19.560 --> 08:21.400
You always were kinda suspicious.
08:21.480 --> 08:24.100
You go missing,
only to show up for training!
08:24.480 --> 08:25.690
You appeared out of nowhere
in the dungeon too.
08:25.770 --> 08:29.060
- The princess's curse got to them?
- What were you doing until then?
08:29.150 --> 08:30.150
Yeah, answer us!
08:30.230 --> 08:31.690
You're the biggest suspect.
08:32.270 --> 08:36.400
Wait a second! You can't accuse
him of murder just for that!
08:36.480 --> 08:37.520
What?!
08:38.020 --> 08:40.600
You've committed the grave sin
of killing the knight commander!
08:40.690 --> 08:42.770
Face justice and meet your maker!
08:45.600 --> 08:47.650
They set me up.
08:48.230 --> 08:49.440
Conceal Presence!
08:51.730 --> 08:53.940
Find him! He can't have gone very far!
08:55.810 --> 08:56.850
Gilles.
08:57.900 --> 08:59.440
Is that you, Akira?
08:59.520 --> 09:04.150
Commander Saran was killed by the king's
personal assassins, the Night Ravens.
09:04.230 --> 09:05.940
They're after you too.
09:07.100 --> 09:09.650
The commander left provisions
for you in his room.
09:09.940 --> 09:11.600
Take them and flee.
09:11.690 --> 09:13.520
Thank you so much, Gilles.
09:14.690 --> 09:16.940
Please be safe, Akira.
09:18.940 --> 09:21.400
So he knew this might happen...
09:29.980 --> 09:31.520
Commander Saran...
09:33.980 --> 09:38.230
I can't believe Saran, of all people,
went down so easily.
09:38.310 --> 09:41.560
I've finished applying hexes
to everyone but the hero.
09:41.650 --> 09:44.730
Now we only need a justification
to declare war on the east.
09:44.810 --> 09:48.100
We need those kids
to be effective pawns for us.
09:48.770 --> 09:51.810
That one brat will be dead in a ditch soon,
09:51.900 --> 09:54.440
but have the Night Ravens
pursue him to be safe.
09:54.980 --> 09:59.190
Very well. Your wish is
our command, Your Majesty.
10:06.900 --> 10:09.730
If you ever find yourself on the run,
10:09.810 --> 10:12.440
there's nowhere better to hide than a dungeon.
10:13.310 --> 10:18.310
But remember, you'll have limited
access to water there, so plan carefully.
10:19.310 --> 10:22.940
You want to know how to level up your class?
10:23.020 --> 10:24.690
The answer is still a dungeon.
10:24.770 --> 10:27.730
The deeper you go,
the stronger the foes you'll face.
10:27.810 --> 10:30.150
Why doesn't everyone go there, then?
10:30.230 --> 10:31.980
Because it's dangerous.
10:32.100 --> 10:38.560
Even your Conceal Presence won't work
on monsters with enhanced smell and hearing.
10:42.400 --> 10:46.190
But if you can increase
your Assassination skill,
10:46.270 --> 10:49.810
you'll be able to mask your scent,
footsteps, and even your heat signature.
10:49.900 --> 10:51.730
Man, I've got a lot to do.
11:10.900 --> 11:12.850
But it's all worth it.
11:13.310 --> 11:17.150
When your class level reaches 100,
you unlock a Special Skill.
11:17.230 --> 11:20.520
It's guaranteed to help
you survive in this world.
11:20.980 --> 11:22.650
A Special Skill, huh?
11:22.940 --> 11:24.980
To get started,
head to the Labyrinth of Kantinen
11:25.100 --> 11:29.270
and try taking out the bosses
you'll find every tenth floor.
11:37.150 --> 11:38.690
Once you enter a boss chamber,
11:38.770 --> 11:42.940
you won't be able to leave
until one of you is dead.
11:43.850 --> 11:47.440
But should you win, you'll see
considerable growth in your abilities.
12:15.060 --> 12:17.980
If I die here, I can't go home!
12:18.060 --> 12:20.690
Much less avenge Commander Saran!
12:28.810 --> 12:31.980
Fine... I'll go all out.
12:33.770 --> 12:35.310
Shadow Magic...
12:35.980 --> 12:36.980
activate!
12:42.730 --> 12:45.230
Rip it to shreds!
12:51.350 --> 12:54.440
The master's injuries have exceeded
acceptable parameters.
12:54.520 --> 12:57.100
Automatically engaging Shadow Magic.
12:59.020 --> 13:00.770
Recovery mode.
13:00.850 --> 13:05.230
Healing will require the use
of emergency mana stores.
13:09.520 --> 13:10.850
What'd you wanna talk about?
13:11.150 --> 13:13.480
Not gonna say we oughta go
fight the Demon Lord, are you?
13:13.560 --> 13:16.520
Good guess. I want us to set out immediately.
13:16.850 --> 13:20.770
But we're still in shock over
Oda killing Commander Saran.
13:20.850 --> 13:22.060
Are you stupid?
13:22.150 --> 13:26.150
This must be the princess's curse
Vice Commander Gilles mentioned.
13:32.100 --> 13:34.650
Fine. I'll go by myself.
13:35.400 --> 13:36.850
I will join you.
13:42.520 --> 13:43.600
I'm going as well.
13:43.690 --> 13:44.690
Me too.
13:44.770 --> 13:46.270
Count me in.
13:46.350 --> 13:48.100
- And me.
- Same here.
13:51.850 --> 13:54.100
I'm surprised we got out so easily.
13:54.190 --> 13:57.270
His Majesty's the one who said
we should go fight the Demon Lord.
13:57.350 --> 13:59.770
It'd be too weird if they tried to stop us.
14:00.810 --> 14:03.940
Anyway, why'd you all join me?
14:04.020 --> 14:08.690
Well, y'see, Tsukasa-kun, I think
everyone here is free of the curse.
14:08.770 --> 14:09.770
Huh?
14:09.850 --> 14:12.810
I'm a disenchanter,
so I'm resistant to curses.
14:13.100 --> 14:16.810
And lately, I've grown to sense
if someone else is cursed.
14:17.650 --> 14:20.810
I'd wager my actions
had something to do with it.
14:23.350 --> 14:25.690
My memory of it is hazy,
14:25.770 --> 14:28.730
but I vaguely recall breaking
crystals in an unfamiliar room.
14:29.440 --> 14:31.850
With this katana.
I have no idea where it came from.
14:33.690 --> 14:39.350
My Manipulation skill is stronger than a curse
when it comes to controlling individual people.
14:39.900 --> 14:44.520
I've now carried out
Commander Saran's final orders...
14:45.020 --> 14:48.020
I wish you safe travels,
heroes from another world.
14:50.270 --> 14:52.350
I need to connect with Akira.
14:53.400 --> 14:58.480
I should've talked to you
while you were keeping hidden.
14:59.150 --> 15:03.520
And, cursed or not,
I failed to stick up for you.
15:11.770 --> 15:14.270
Oda Akira?
15:14.560 --> 15:17.520
Uh, you're in my class, right?
15:18.020 --> 15:19.650
Asahina Kyousuke.
15:22.060 --> 15:24.770
So, about what you saw here...
15:24.850 --> 15:27.730
You don't want anyone
to know, yes? I understand.
15:27.810 --> 15:28.980
Thanks.
15:29.440 --> 15:32.940
I don't want anyone at school finding
out, particularly my little sister.
15:33.020 --> 15:34.770
She's a first-year.
15:34.850 --> 15:35.810
Yours too?
15:35.900 --> 15:37.190
What do you mean?
15:38.810 --> 15:40.400
That's my little sister.
15:40.480 --> 15:42.520
And that's mine there.
15:45.400 --> 15:47.480
Wait, so you're Keika-chan's brother?
15:48.310 --> 15:50.150
Small world, isn't it?
15:54.980 --> 15:56.940
A dream about Kyousuke?
15:57.020 --> 15:59.230
I hope he's doing okay.
15:59.310 --> 16:02.600
And I hope Mom and Yui are eating right.
16:02.690 --> 16:04.770
Huh? I'm not in pain.
16:05.270 --> 16:06.310
Status.
16:07.020 --> 16:08.850
My stats have gone up quite a bit.
16:08.940 --> 16:11.940
Wait, why is my HP almost full?
16:12.230 --> 16:14.650
I thought I broke three ribs.
16:15.150 --> 16:17.350
The poison had spread
through my legs too...
16:17.440 --> 16:19.730
My Shadow Magic was at level 3.
16:19.810 --> 16:22.940
SHADOW MAGIC
- It jumped two levels just by using it once?
16:23.310 --> 16:26.020
It felt easier to control too.
16:26.560 --> 16:29.520
I don't get what's going on,
but all I can do is keep moving.
16:42.100 --> 16:45.600
A slime? This far down?
16:52.560 --> 16:53.980
What in the world?
16:56.150 --> 16:57.600
An elf?
16:58.190 --> 17:00.560
She's got the prettiest face I've ever seen.
17:02.270 --> 17:05.690
Guess it's finally time
to try out that one weird skill.
17:05.770 --> 17:08.520
WORLD EYES
- Activate World Eyes.
17:11.520 --> 17:13.400
Oh crap! Abort skill!
17:14.150 --> 17:16.060
That was absolutely insane.
17:17.150 --> 17:19.150
That skill's too dangerous.
17:19.230 --> 17:20.980
I should avoid using it.
17:26.350 --> 17:27.310
Huh?
17:27.400 --> 17:28.900
Are you hurt anywhere?
17:28.980 --> 17:31.020
No, I'm fine.
17:31.520 --> 17:34.100
Really? You're not just saying that?
17:34.190 --> 17:35.150
Why?
17:35.230 --> 17:37.440
Er... no reason.
17:38.400 --> 17:40.690
I caught a glimpse of her stats just now.
17:40.770 --> 17:45.850
Her HP's down to barely 2 percent of her max.
17:46.900 --> 17:49.230
Oh, she's got World Eyes too.
17:50.190 --> 17:51.600
Where are we?
17:51.690 --> 17:54.350
Floor 75 of the Labyrinth of Kantinen.
17:54.440 --> 17:57.900
What are you doing here, Akira?
17:57.980 --> 17:59.850
I came to level up.
17:59.940 --> 18:01.190
Huh...
18:01.270 --> 18:05.770
Look, I know you saw it, but show some
courtesy and ask for my name first.
18:06.690 --> 18:07.730
Whoa!
18:08.900 --> 18:11.650
I knew it. You're burning up.
18:26.480 --> 18:28.980
Did the sound of your own
belly rumbling wake you?
18:30.600 --> 18:32.150
Either way, here. Drink up.
18:37.600 --> 18:42.810
When you have a fever, it's best to hydrate
and keep warm while you sleep.
18:43.270 --> 18:45.230
I'm too hungry to sleep.
18:45.310 --> 18:47.190
Fine, you got it.
18:47.270 --> 18:48.770
I made porridge.
18:48.850 --> 18:50.940
It's hot, so blow on it before you eat.
18:51.020 --> 18:52.060
Okay.
18:57.730 --> 18:59.810
If you can eat like that,
you'll be just fine.
19:01.230 --> 19:03.940
How do you know so much
about tending to the sick?
19:04.020 --> 19:06.980
I'm just used to it because
my mother's in poor health.
19:07.480 --> 19:08.600
I see.
19:12.730 --> 19:15.440
You wrote this, right? What's it say?
19:15.520 --> 19:16.650
Sixty-nine.
19:17.230 --> 19:19.980
I do it on each floor to keep track.
19:20.100 --> 19:22.980
You said we were on floor 75 earlier.
19:23.100 --> 19:24.810
So you came back up?
19:24.900 --> 19:26.650
Why? Aren't you here to level up?
19:26.730 --> 19:29.350
This was the closest watering hole.
19:29.440 --> 19:31.100
So you carried me up here?
19:31.190 --> 19:32.560
Did you touch me anywhere weird?
19:32.650 --> 19:35.520
I did not. Go back to sleep already.
19:35.600 --> 19:36.690
Okay.
19:37.520 --> 19:40.190
I'm royalty, you know?
19:40.520 --> 19:42.730
Yeah, I know. I saw that earlier.
19:43.350 --> 19:46.690
Nobody's ever done this for me before.
19:47.060 --> 19:48.100
Yeah?
19:56.100 --> 19:57.600
She's quick to fall asleep.
19:58.480 --> 20:02.440
Guess I'll catch a wink too.
With Detect Danger activated, of course.
20:16.600 --> 20:19.940
I'm lying on stone, yet I'm so warm.
20:24.900 --> 20:25.940
Gravity!
20:33.560 --> 20:36.650
Aren't you all better now?
Why are you following me?
20:37.060 --> 20:39.560
I just happen to be going
in the same direction.
20:39.650 --> 20:42.150
I'm not protecting you, okay?
20:42.230 --> 20:44.940
I get that you have superhuman strength,
20:45.020 --> 20:48.100
but I can take care of myself just fine too.
20:58.270 --> 20:59.480
A dragon?!
21:01.190 --> 21:02.690
Conceal Presence!
21:04.190 --> 21:05.440
Gravity!
21:06.730 --> 21:07.770
Now!
21:11.810 --> 21:14.400
It's tracing your mana!
21:14.480 --> 21:16.650
Diffuse your magic into your surroundings!
21:18.440 --> 21:20.060
Quit asking for the impossible!
21:23.190 --> 21:25.980
My magic, huh? How about this?!
21:34.560 --> 21:35.650
Akira!
21:42.480 --> 21:44.350
Akira, what did you just do?
21:45.150 --> 21:49.600
I'm not skillful enough to diffuse my mana.
21:49.980 --> 21:52.730
So I used the mana around me instead.
21:53.230 --> 21:55.850
Wait, you can do that?
22:02.650 --> 22:03.690
What's happening?
22:07.900 --> 22:09.980
