WEBVTT
00:09.630 --> 00:13.410
Mother Goddess, lend me your healing hand.
00:13.410 --> 00:14.510
Lesser Heal.
00:18.210 --> 00:20.380
Thank you for that, Eto.
00:20.930 --> 00:22.180
You're quite welcome.
00:22.420 --> 00:24.770
That was a pretty close call.
00:24.770 --> 00:26.920
It certainly doesn't bode well.
00:26.920 --> 00:30.940
There shouldn't be goblin archers
on the fifth layer.
00:30.940 --> 00:34.020
I say we head back to the surface for today.
00:34.020 --> 00:36.910
Even split three ways,
we've earned more than usual.
00:37.850 --> 00:39.490
We're leaving already?
00:39.490 --> 00:41.110
I don't wanna push it.
00:41.520 --> 00:45.460
My motto is "survival is our primary duty."
00:45.460 --> 00:47.640
Get that motto from Abel, did you?
00:47.640 --> 00:50.250
Isn't it obvious that our lives
should be our priority?!
00:51.170 --> 00:52.890
You've got a point there.
00:54.160 --> 00:57.030
It would've been nice
if Ryo had come with us.
00:57.030 --> 01:01.040
The norm is to form a party
of comparably skilled members, Amon.
01:01.040 --> 01:04.010
Yeah, and we don't really compare to Ryo.
02:51.000 --> 02:55.340
Leonore's magic yesterday was incredible.
02:55.590 --> 02:59.090
But in terms of conjuring speed,
I was on even footing.
03:00.750 --> 03:03.090
I need to expand on my strengths
03:03.090 --> 03:06.620
and shore up my weaknesses
to turn them into strengths.
03:06.620 --> 03:08.120
I can't think of any other way.
03:09.010 --> 03:11.010
There's also the matter of movement speed.
03:11.600 --> 03:14.110
That magic she used to close
in on me in a flash...
03:14.110 --> 03:18.730
It was probably wind magic.
I'm kind of jealous.
03:18.730 --> 03:22.240
Then again, no sense
in envying what I can't have.
03:22.570 --> 03:25.690
I'll think up a way to move
swiftly with water magic.
03:26.120 --> 03:30.360
As possibilities go, the first spell
that comes to mind is Water Jet.
03:30.830 --> 03:36.290
I've used it underwater to surface before,
but as for using it on land...
03:39.970 --> 03:41.080
Ice Bahn.
03:46.330 --> 03:49.760
I'll have to picture it coming
from points all along my back.
03:50.140 --> 03:53.180
Water Jet 256!
04:05.840 --> 04:07.020
She's got me beat!
04:07.980 --> 04:11.450
Well, let's just call it a work in progress.
04:12.440 --> 04:16.900
Maybe it could work with 1,024 jets of water.
04:16.900 --> 04:18.450
Now, to the library!
04:18.450 --> 04:22.870
I want to look up more
about akumas and alchemy.
04:30.620 --> 04:34.060
Nothing in the forbidden spellbooks either.
04:34.450 --> 04:36.520
Well, of course there wouldn't be.
04:36.520 --> 04:39.910
Magic capable of conjuring
a thick Ice Wall midair
04:39.910 --> 04:44.030
or spears of ice strong enough
to pierce a wyvern's defenses...
04:44.250 --> 04:47.520
Not even Master Hilarion could manage that.
04:47.520 --> 04:50.120
If it exists at all,
they'd have to be original spells.
04:50.760 --> 04:55.750
Granted, it'd take someone like the empire's
Inferno Magician to cast such a thing.
04:55.750 --> 04:58.710
Why, Lyn. It's good to see you again.
04:59.650 --> 05:02.320
Oh, Sera! Hello.
05:02.830 --> 05:06.470
It's rare to find you here, much less
looking through tomes like those.
05:06.690 --> 05:08.520
I was trying to look something up.
05:09.040 --> 05:11.310
But in the end, it wasn't in here.
05:11.310 --> 05:14.270
I see. That's a shame.
05:15.680 --> 05:17.230
Listen, Sera...
05:18.310 --> 05:19.290
What's wrong?
05:22.160 --> 05:23.070
Nothing.
05:23.650 --> 05:28.120
You were away from Lune on a quest
for the royal capital, right?
05:28.120 --> 05:31.430
I was. I just got back.
05:31.430 --> 05:36.070
Oh, and I'm sorry, but I'm already
keeping an envoy waiting.
05:36.070 --> 05:37.560
Another time, shall we?
05:46.610 --> 05:50.680
M-M-M-Miss Nina! Y-You're as l-l-l-l-lovely—
05:51.120 --> 05:54.390
Welcome back. That was a short excursion.
05:54.610 --> 05:57.650
There's actually a reason for that.
05:59.450 --> 06:02.960
Indeed, this is certainly
magic stone from goblin archers.
06:03.450 --> 06:07.050
But there's been no sign of them
on the fifth layer for years.
06:07.390 --> 06:11.410
That's what we thought, which is why
we wanted to let you know.
06:11.680 --> 06:14.100
I'll inform the guild master at once.
06:14.100 --> 06:16.430
I'll post a notice on the board as well.
06:17.290 --> 06:20.830
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
06:20.830 --> 06:22.760
Aw, Nina...
06:22.760 --> 06:25.940
Come on, Amon.
We need to sell this magic stone.
06:25.940 --> 06:26.830
Right!
06:31.650 --> 06:34.190
Goblin archers on the fifth layer?
06:34.780 --> 06:37.580
They're not supposed to show up
until after the tenth.
06:37.580 --> 06:39.140
That's right, sir.
06:39.140 --> 06:42.110
This could be a warning sign.
06:42.110 --> 06:44.570
How many B-rank parties are in town?
06:44.570 --> 06:47.480
The Crimson Sword and White Brigade.
06:47.480 --> 06:50.280
Is the Brigade's main force
under Phelps present?
06:50.280 --> 06:54.740
Yes. They just returned from an excursion
two days ago, so they should still be around.
06:54.740 --> 06:59.920
Okay, summon both the
Crimson Sword and White Brigade.
07:00.780 --> 07:03.090
I'll make the offer here in this office.
07:04.990 --> 07:06.750
The Brigade's coming too, right?
07:07.240 --> 07:09.210
I never know how to deal with them.
07:09.210 --> 07:11.760
It's a little late for that.
07:11.760 --> 07:14.980
Besides, haven't you two been
acquaintances for a long time?
07:14.980 --> 07:18.940
Honestly. You never stop whining, do you, Abel?
07:18.940 --> 07:21.390
You could learn from Warren's example.
07:28.820 --> 07:29.690
Come in.
07:30.150 --> 07:31.650
Pardon us.
07:38.460 --> 07:40.330
Hello there, Abel.
07:40.790 --> 07:43.170
Good day to you, Phelps.
07:43.170 --> 07:46.110
It's that same greeting every
time with you, isn't it, Abel?
07:48.080 --> 07:52.880
I want to thank both the Crimson Sword
and White Brigade for coming.
07:53.510 --> 07:56.620
I'm sure the clerk gave you
the gist of things,
07:56.620 --> 08:00.470
but goblin archers have been spotted
on the fifth layer of the dungeon.
08:00.720 --> 08:03.440
Master, how certain is this information?
08:03.440 --> 08:05.270
One hundred percent.
08:05.270 --> 08:11.110
The adventurers who encountered them
came back with their magic stone.
08:11.110 --> 08:14.030
Then the intel is good.
08:14.550 --> 08:18.580
So, what exactly would you have us do?
08:19.920 --> 08:23.550
The Crimson Sword and White Brigade
are to enter the dungeon
08:23.550 --> 08:26.790
and verify any signs of the Great Tidal Bore.
08:27.250 --> 08:29.040
The Great Tidal Bore...
08:29.280 --> 08:33.040
It refers to an explosive growth
in monster populations.
08:33.490 --> 08:37.390
It's been just about ten years
since the last one...
08:37.390 --> 08:40.850
Meaning we could be due
for another at any moment.
08:40.850 --> 08:47.810
Goblin archers appearing on the fifth
layer may very well be an early sign.
08:47.810 --> 08:50.710
You'll be paid 100 gold coins in advance
08:50.710 --> 08:53.990
and another 200 upon completion.
08:53.990 --> 08:56.830
Just to confirm, guild master,
08:56.830 --> 08:59.300
we're only to verify whether it's coming?
08:59.300 --> 09:01.990
Yeah. I need to know how likely that is.
09:01.990 --> 09:04.080
And if it's already underway?
09:04.080 --> 09:07.580
Should you confirm that,
return to the surface posthaste.
09:07.580 --> 09:12.350
We'll abandon the dungeon entrance
and set up on the double walls
09:12.350 --> 09:15.090
in a joint operation between the guild
and regional knights.
09:15.090 --> 09:20.550
I've already notified the lord of this quest
and my plans for defensive action.
09:20.550 --> 09:22.520
That's a lot of groundwork.
09:22.520 --> 09:25.140
I'd almost think you believe
the bore is already underway.
09:25.140 --> 09:27.620
You can never be too prepared.
09:27.620 --> 09:31.500
Because if this is the Great Tidal Bore,
we'll need all the forces we can muster.
09:31.500 --> 09:32.750
When should we depart?
09:32.750 --> 09:35.690
First thing tomorrow morning.
09:35.690 --> 09:39.990
We've already put a notice on the board
saying the dungeon is closed in the meantime.
09:40.710 --> 09:45.670
So, the Crimson Sword, White Brigade,
will you accept this quest?
09:47.500 --> 09:51.670
Yes. The Crimson Sword accepts.
09:51.670 --> 09:55.090
White Brigade accepts this quest.
10:01.780 --> 10:05.660
Huh? You headed out already, Ryo?
10:05.660 --> 10:09.690
Yes. I was thinking of visiting
the north side library today.
10:09.690 --> 10:11.040
The north side one?
10:11.040 --> 10:13.500
I hear it has a wider selection
of advanced material.
10:13.500 --> 10:19.200
I'm hoping to learn more about alchemy
than what the south side library offers.
10:19.460 --> 10:21.780
There's also the matter of akumas.
10:22.110 --> 10:25.930
Makes sense you'd want to check out
the north side location, then.
10:25.930 --> 10:30.630
Only D-rank adventurers can enter it,
but you're set for that, Ryo.
10:30.630 --> 10:33.160
I've only heard rumors before...
10:33.160 --> 10:35.250
Is it true they have forbidden texts?
10:35.250 --> 10:36.630
Forbidden texts?!
10:36.900 --> 10:40.260
Except you need to be B-rank to read them.
10:40.260 --> 10:43.270
Aw, that's a shame.
10:43.270 --> 10:47.020
Knowing you, Ryo, you'll
be qualified soon enough.
10:47.020 --> 10:49.710
Welp, we'd better get ready ourselves.
10:50.030 --> 10:52.850
Hitting the dungeon again today, Nils?
10:53.100 --> 10:55.020
Yeah! That's the plan.
10:55.020 --> 10:56.870
Good luck, then.
10:56.870 --> 10:59.390
I hope you find what you're looking for.
10:59.390 --> 11:01.240
Have a safe trip, Ryo.
11:01.690 --> 11:02.810
I'll be back.
11:17.990 --> 11:19.210
Please take this.
11:27.610 --> 11:30.270
The south side library is bigger...
11:30.590 --> 11:32.840
But there's something
about the atmosphere here.
11:37.690 --> 11:39.050
I like it.
11:39.830 --> 11:42.050
I'm probably going to need to ask
11:42.050 --> 11:45.030
where to find the books
I'm looking for, though.
11:46.320 --> 11:51.790
I bet they'll look at me like I'm crazy
if I mention wanting to learn about akumas.
12:11.870 --> 12:14.150
Good day to you, Phelps.
12:14.550 --> 12:15.970
Good morning, Abel.
12:16.400 --> 12:17.720
You've got about twenty?
12:17.720 --> 12:20.530
Yeah. Around half of the Brigade.
12:20.940 --> 12:24.640
We're only taking C-rankers
and above with us this time.
12:25.090 --> 12:26.490
That's wise.
12:27.150 --> 12:28.920
Everyone's here, then?
12:29.260 --> 12:30.840
Better get underway.
12:31.640 --> 12:32.830
Hold on, guild master.
12:32.830 --> 12:34.720
Something wrong, Abel?
12:38.800 --> 12:40.620
I've got a bad feeling about this.
12:41.360 --> 12:44.470
Lyn, use the wind spell Probe
to scan the first layer.
12:44.470 --> 12:45.670
Okay.
12:49.360 --> 12:53.430
Bring to me the pulse and existence of life.
12:53.430 --> 12:54.460
Probe!
13:03.110 --> 13:04.190
They're...
13:04.190 --> 13:08.490
Multiple hits at the entrance!
And I mean more than a few hundred!
13:08.490 --> 13:10.490
I thought as much.
13:10.490 --> 13:13.420
Then the Great Tidal Bore is nearly upon us.
13:13.420 --> 13:15.010
Unbelievable.
13:15.010 --> 13:18.540
Everyone, pull back! Get word
to the knights and the guild!
13:18.540 --> 13:20.750
Monsters will be here any minute!
13:25.170 --> 13:28.680
It says no one's allowed in the dungeon.
13:28.680 --> 13:32.060
I bet it has something to do
with those goblin archers.
13:32.360 --> 13:34.710
Maybe it's more serious than we—
13:34.710 --> 13:36.350
The Great Tidal Bore is underway!
13:36.350 --> 13:38.090
The monsters are surfacing!
13:38.090 --> 13:40.750
This is an emergency quest
of the highest priority!
13:40.750 --> 13:43.530
Position yourselves above
the dungeon's first wall and attack!
13:43.530 --> 13:45.110
Please, hurry!
13:53.980 --> 13:56.000
It's you again.
13:56.480 --> 13:59.280
So you're a local adventurer.
14:04.720 --> 14:07.010
My name is Sera. It's a pleasure.
14:07.010 --> 14:10.010
Oh, yes. I'm Ryo, an adventurer.
14:10.460 --> 14:13.890
I had a feeling we'd meet again.
14:15.610 --> 14:18.820
What brings you to the library?
Looking for something?
14:18.820 --> 14:20.430
Oh, yes.
14:20.430 --> 14:25.480
I'm looking for books on aku—
I mean, alchemy.
14:25.480 --> 14:28.450
Alchemy? How unusual.
14:28.450 --> 14:33.990
Well, I'm in no rush, but ultimately,
I'd like to create a golem.
14:33.990 --> 14:38.200
A golem?! That's a grand ambition.
14:39.230 --> 14:44.990
I don't think any of the books here
specifically contain anything on golemcraft,
14:44.990 --> 14:48.210
but there are a few that
could help show you the way.
14:51.470 --> 14:55.010
Follow me. I know where just about
everything is in this place.
14:55.810 --> 14:56.970
You don't mind?
14:57.260 --> 14:58.270
Of course not.
15:05.500 --> 15:07.380
So do you like books, Ryo?
15:07.380 --> 15:10.880
Yes. I used to read all the time.
15:10.880 --> 15:14.660
I haven't been around them in ages, though,
15:14.890 --> 15:17.160
so a place like this feels nostalgic.
15:17.160 --> 15:22.250
"Ages ago"? You make it
sound like it's been decades.
15:22.250 --> 15:27.630
W-Well... you're an elf, right, Sera?
15:27.630 --> 15:32.460
I am indeed. And an adventurer,
much like yourself.
15:33.000 --> 15:35.170
I belong to a B-rank party called Wind.
15:35.510 --> 15:38.300
Although I'm actually the sole member.
15:38.300 --> 15:42.940
A friend of mine mentioned
there was only one elf in town.
15:42.940 --> 15:47.750
They're right. You don't find
too many elves in human settlements.
15:47.750 --> 15:50.150
I might be a bit of an oddball.
15:51.240 --> 15:53.530
But thanks to that, I got to meet you.
15:54.510 --> 15:56.110
That's a good thing.
16:02.250 --> 16:04.210
I believe they're down this way.
16:04.520 --> 16:06.610
Come, let's look for them.
16:22.490 --> 16:23.290
Here they come.
16:39.080 --> 16:40.540
Commence the attack!
16:40.790 --> 16:42.450
Wear them down at range!
16:42.730 --> 16:45.170
Keep those arrows and spells coming!
17:06.810 --> 17:08.190
Get in position at once!
17:08.510 --> 17:10.860
We'll keep the northern side secure!
17:11.080 --> 17:13.110
Margrave Lune's knights!
17:13.110 --> 17:17.570
I'm sure glad I had that meeting with
Commander Neville yesterday now.
17:22.750 --> 17:23.910
But even then...
17:29.440 --> 17:31.540
Just look at all of them.
17:34.340 --> 17:37.100
There were nowhere near this many last time!
17:47.810 --> 17:49.560
This is going to be a long battle!
17:49.560 --> 17:52.610
Don't forget to stay hydrated!
17:52.610 --> 17:56.070
We're still only dealing with
goblins and goblin archers!
17:56.070 --> 17:58.030
Stay on your toes!
17:58.030 --> 18:02.550
Lyn, we're nowhere close to done.
Conserve your mana.
18:02.550 --> 18:04.080
Got it.
18:04.080 --> 18:07.960
That said... if you have any spells
to clear them all out,
18:07.960 --> 18:09.250
please, cast away!
18:09.250 --> 18:10.860
Of course I don't!
18:10.860 --> 18:12.790
Don't make me spell that out!
18:12.790 --> 18:14.920
Abel, we're out of arrows.
18:17.130 --> 18:21.430
Master! We've requisitioned arrows
from every weapon store in town!
18:21.430 --> 18:23.810
Good! Hurry and distribute them!
18:23.810 --> 18:25.220
Abel! More arrows!
18:26.560 --> 18:27.920
Nils? I appreciate it.
18:27.920 --> 18:30.440
I've also got a message
from the guild master.
18:30.690 --> 18:33.070
"There should be a big one
waiting behind the fodder."
18:33.070 --> 18:37.940
"The Crimson Sword will be taking
it on, so be prepared," he says.
18:37.940 --> 18:39.230
Makes sense.
18:39.690 --> 18:42.620
Tell him message received.
18:42.620 --> 18:44.780
Okay. Good luck to you.
19:01.050 --> 19:02.760
It should be time.
19:03.010 --> 19:06.730
The Crimson Sword, White Brigade!
Descend the wall!
19:08.000 --> 19:10.060
We're going on the attack!
19:10.060 --> 19:13.650
Wind, become the wings that let us land safely.
19:13.650 --> 19:14.610
Wind Wings!
19:22.700 --> 19:26.170
Earth, become our shield
and protect us against evil.
19:26.170 --> 19:27.450
Clay Wall!
19:40.940 --> 19:42.840
A goblin general...
19:42.840 --> 19:45.180
This will be over once he's down.
19:45.420 --> 19:46.390
No, wait.
19:48.290 --> 19:51.310
There are three goblin generals.
19:51.980 --> 19:53.400
Which means...
19:53.840 --> 19:57.240
Yeah. There's a king back there.
20:02.670 --> 20:04.610
Phelps and I will each take one.
20:04.610 --> 20:07.970
Rihya, Shenna, you two handle the last one.
20:09.260 --> 20:11.420
We need to finish them
before the king arrives!
20:19.590 --> 20:21.170
Light Javelin!
20:27.180 --> 20:28.210
Good!
20:32.840 --> 20:34.390
Get down!
20:42.610 --> 20:43.910
What was that?!
20:44.320 --> 20:45.860
Air Slash.
20:45.860 --> 20:49.530
But stronger and faster
than I've ever seen before.
20:50.250 --> 20:52.500
That was just a swing of his arm.
20:55.420 --> 20:58.510
He was ready to kill his generals
right along with us.
20:59.020 --> 21:00.270
What a monster!
21:06.350 --> 21:07.140
What?!
21:10.810 --> 21:12.310
I'm counting on you.
21:12.310 --> 21:17.270
Your magic sword and spear are the only
weapons that can hold up against that thing.
21:21.800 --> 21:24.400
Not good... Abel?!
21:26.490 --> 21:28.990
Sword Skill: Perfect Shadow!
21:30.240 --> 21:31.370
Combat Skill:
21:33.200 --> 21:34.800
Total Impalement!
21:37.000 --> 21:38.640
It didn't finish him!
21:38.640 --> 21:40.960
I didn't expect it to! Lyn!
21:41.920 --> 21:43.130
Bullet Rain!
21:45.130 --> 21:46.150
Perfect Shadow.
22:03.410 --> 22:04.860
It's finally over...
22:09.720 --> 22:15.090
So she was invoking
Bullet Rain that entire time, then?
22:15.090 --> 22:19.040
It's a powerful spell,
but the incantation is long.
22:19.040 --> 22:20.540
You could call it a secret weapon.
22:20.540 --> 22:23.280
I'm impressed, Crimson Sword.
22:34.230 --> 22:35.990
However it ended,
22:38.210 --> 22:40.210
I'm just glad we all made it out alive.
