WEBVTT
00:15.600 --> 00:18.460
If I went back to the
Forest of Rondo after this job,
00:18.460 --> 00:21.190
I'd be just in time for the rice harvest.
01:59.720 --> 02:04.500
I heard you were headed for Whitnash,
but I didn't realize it was on the same job.
02:04.500 --> 02:09.210
Are you sure you really want the
name of your party to be "Room 10"?
02:09.210 --> 02:13.590
Sure am! What better name could represent us?
02:16.830 --> 02:19.810
And this is gonna be Room 10's first job.
02:20.220 --> 02:22.640
We've never done escort work before,
02:22.640 --> 02:25.390
but with Ryo around,
I'm sure we can handle anything.
02:25.620 --> 02:29.360
I'm glad they covered this kind of thing
in the beginner's course.
02:29.740 --> 02:35.160
Come to think of it, we've got nine days
between when we arrive and depart, right?
02:35.160 --> 02:37.070
That seems like a long time.
02:37.340 --> 02:39.760
What, you didn't know?
02:39.760 --> 02:42.430
This is all to coincide with
Whitnash's Open Port Festival,
02:42.430 --> 02:44.540
which takes place every five years.
02:44.540 --> 02:47.630
A festival?! That sounds like fun!
02:47.870 --> 02:50.290
Yeah! Let's all make the most of it!
02:50.290 --> 02:52.340
We're about to set out!
03:11.110 --> 03:13.730
I thank all of you for accompanying
us on the long trip.
03:13.730 --> 03:16.070
This is where we'll be staying
for the duration.
03:16.070 --> 03:19.550
We shall make for Lune once more
in the morning ten days from now.
03:19.550 --> 03:21.780
You're free until then.
03:22.170 --> 03:24.830
Hey, Ryo, there's a ton
of food stalls set up already!
03:24.830 --> 03:25.750
Let's check them out!
03:25.750 --> 03:28.250
Good idea. I'm already hungry.
03:28.250 --> 03:30.370
Okay, then race you there!
03:30.370 --> 03:31.300
You won't win!
03:31.300 --> 03:33.000
Hey! You guys!
03:33.240 --> 03:34.720
Good grief.
03:40.490 --> 03:41.510
Delicious!
03:41.770 --> 03:44.520
A perfect plate of fish and chips!
03:44.910 --> 03:48.600
I can't believe that devilfish tastes so good!
03:48.910 --> 03:53.430
These croquettes have mashed lobster
in them, and it's really good!
03:53.430 --> 03:57.190
This whole roasted mini kraken is pretty
addictive with this sweet sauce!
03:57.540 --> 04:00.890
Nothing beats festivals!
04:10.570 --> 04:13.250
A carriage from the Monarchy
of Kufaris ahead of us
04:13.250 --> 04:15.130
seems to be having issues with their papers.
04:15.130 --> 04:18.920
And we're stuck in line as a result.
Not that we can do anything about it.
04:19.650 --> 04:22.930
What do you make of this
excursion, Lieutenant?
04:22.930 --> 04:27.090
Hard to say. I'm not about to speculate
about His Imperial Majesty's intent.
04:27.430 --> 04:31.440
I doubt he just wants us to check out the sea
because the empire is landlocked, though.
04:33.810 --> 04:35.180
There's a chance...
04:36.130 --> 04:38.610
Does something come to mind, sir?
04:39.030 --> 04:45.830
His Majesty may intend to take care of some
bloody business while Princess Fiona is gone.
04:47.280 --> 04:50.790
You know how he dotes on her, don't you?
04:51.100 --> 04:54.920
Well, given her prodigious
magic talent and dedication,
04:54.920 --> 04:59.240
she became a commander in the court's
magic division at only seventeen.
04:59.240 --> 05:01.680
And on top of that, there's her beauty.
05:01.980 --> 05:07.120
He loves her both as his youngest
daughter and as a valuable magic asset.
05:07.550 --> 05:11.580
But that fondness might make him want to spare
her the more grotesque sights of his rule.
05:12.070 --> 05:13.900
Wouldn't you say?
05:14.310 --> 05:16.610
What could it specifically be, though?
05:17.040 --> 05:21.070
Maybe a purge of the nobles who oppose
the imperial family, for instance.
05:21.350 --> 05:23.820
That's a terrifying prospect.
05:24.150 --> 05:27.280
It is only conjecture.
There's no real way to know.
05:27.760 --> 05:30.100
I realize that, but...
05:30.100 --> 05:33.030
Guarding the commander is part of my duties.
05:33.030 --> 05:37.040
And that's what I'm here to carry out.
05:47.110 --> 05:50.520
That's Prince Conrad Stein Bornemisza.
05:50.730 --> 05:52.620
He has such a refined air.
05:52.620 --> 05:55.460
Just what I'd expect from the
Debuhi Empire's third prince.
05:57.570 --> 05:59.150
I'm sorry, Fiona.
05:59.490 --> 06:01.920
I know you're not accustomed
to this sort of thing.
06:01.920 --> 06:03.110
It must be exhausting.
06:03.110 --> 06:06.200
Please, don't mind me, Elder Brother.
06:06.470 --> 06:08.300
I'll handle things on my end.
06:08.300 --> 06:10.910
You're welcome to retire if you'd like.
06:10.910 --> 06:12.410
Prince Conrad!
06:12.410 --> 06:14.540
Oh, it's wonderful to see you!
06:15.630 --> 06:17.250
Get some rest, okay?
06:17.250 --> 06:20.590
I'd like to apologize for the delay in your
entrance to our castle the other day...
06:20.590 --> 06:22.260
Oh, no, it was nothing of concern.
06:24.130 --> 06:26.720
Your Highness, please show some decorum.
06:26.720 --> 06:28.970
I'm exhausted, Marie.
06:29.250 --> 06:33.990
I'm sure you are. Every inch of you
is expressing that sentiment.
06:33.990 --> 06:35.900
You needn't say a word.
06:36.280 --> 06:41.050
I'm so relieved Conrad said I was free to go.
06:41.050 --> 06:44.610
I'm truly not cut out for this stuff.
06:45.010 --> 06:49.200
I'm much more comfortable in the
commander's office or the training yard.
06:49.470 --> 06:51.950
I hardly know how my brother does it.
06:51.950 --> 06:56.560
Dealing with the endless stream of guests
while also looking out for me...
06:56.920 --> 06:59.500
And he's only three years my elder.
06:59.500 --> 07:04.260
Princess Fiona, you have peerless
talent with the sword and magic.
07:05.870 --> 07:10.210
Imagine that, a girl whose charms
lie in her gifts for sword and spell.
07:35.730 --> 07:39.790
That's... totally Abel, isn't it?
07:40.050 --> 07:42.950
You're right! He's in the seats
for special guests.
07:42.950 --> 07:45.680
I guess clothes really do make the man.
07:43.530 --> 07:45.680
Hey, it's Abel! Awesome!
07:46.590 --> 07:49.510
Whoa, that redhead is a real beauty!
07:49.880 --> 07:55.100
She's an imperial princess, so she's even
further out of your league than Nina, Nils.
07:55.100 --> 07:57.350
Come on, I didn't mean it that way!
07:57.350 --> 08:00.060
Hey, it's Ryo and the boys.
08:00.670 --> 08:03.110
Imagine running into you in this huge crowd.
08:03.110 --> 08:04.890
R-Rihya...
08:05.230 --> 08:11.070
If the three of you are here,
then that's got to be the real Abel, huh?
08:11.070 --> 08:15.410
Yes, he was asked to stand in
for Lune's guild master.
08:15.660 --> 08:20.100
He'll be free after tomorrow once the
guild master actually arrives, though.
08:22.090 --> 08:26.710
There really is a wind elemental
shield protecting the VIP seats...
08:26.710 --> 08:28.720
And it's incredibly thick.
08:28.720 --> 08:32.430
It's wind? Not a normal magic shield?
08:32.830 --> 08:37.250
I've heard about a treasure passed down
through the lord of Whitnash's family
08:37.250 --> 08:39.660
that can project a wind barrier.
08:39.660 --> 08:41.140
That's probably the source.
08:41.140 --> 08:45.080
A treasure that can cast magic?!
That sounds convenient!
08:45.080 --> 08:48.820
They supposedly don't use it much because
it's not very efficient, though.
08:48.820 --> 08:55.130
Any terrorism while the imperial family
is present could lead to war,
08:55.130 --> 08:57.540
so I imagine that justifies
any excessive fuel cost.
08:57.540 --> 09:00.230
Th-That's a scary thought.
09:00.230 --> 09:03.130
We'll have to pray nothing happens.
09:03.350 --> 09:08.020
That princess is a commander with the
Imperial Magic Division, isn't she?
09:08.020 --> 09:11.240
Doesn't that mean her lieutenant
should be here, too?
09:11.240 --> 09:14.090
Indeed, it stands to reason he would be.
09:14.520 --> 09:15.800
Her lieutenant?
09:15.800 --> 09:20.770
He's the pride of the empire,
the Inferno Magician.
09:20.770 --> 09:22.640
What the heck?! That sounds awesome!
09:23.150 --> 09:27.360
The story goes that he incinerated
a thousand royal troops with a single attack.
09:27.360 --> 09:31.180
There's another that he obliterated
a wyvern in one blow.
09:31.650 --> 09:36.330
And yet another that he annihilated
a fortified rebel town in one fell swoop.
09:36.640 --> 09:38.830
I've heard those.
09:38.830 --> 09:40.740
Do you think they're true?
09:40.740 --> 09:44.640
I'm not sure, but that's what the rumors say.
09:44.640 --> 09:48.050
And if that's the case,
I'd rather not have dealings with him.
09:48.270 --> 09:52.300
Better to let sleeping infernos lie, I'd say.
09:52.300 --> 09:55.330
Yes. I doubt you have to worry about him,
09:55.330 --> 09:56.970
but do be careful, just in case.
09:56.970 --> 09:58.240
We should get going.
09:58.240 --> 09:59.180
Right.
09:59.180 --> 10:02.240
We're off to walk around the festival.
10:02.240 --> 10:03.560
See you guys later!
10:05.150 --> 10:06.980
We ought to get moving, too.
10:06.980 --> 10:08.070
Sure thing.
10:12.120 --> 10:13.450
Whoa there.
10:15.830 --> 10:16.780
Sorry about that.
10:17.080 --> 10:18.810
No, excuse me.
10:21.570 --> 10:24.500
Careful, man. It's crowded around here.
10:24.820 --> 10:26.210
My apologies.
10:28.430 --> 10:32.820
Lieutenant? What are you standing
around for? We should get going.
10:34.840 --> 10:36.720
Make sure not to drop any of it.
10:37.060 --> 10:41.180
You were the one to suggest we split up
to look but didn't actually buy anything.
10:41.650 --> 10:44.270
I don't like crowds, man.
10:44.540 --> 10:47.400
Is that the excuse you'll give the commander?
10:47.400 --> 10:50.570
She's been really looking forward
to the food from these stalls.
10:50.570 --> 10:51.830
Show up empty-handed
10:51.830 --> 10:54.270
and she'll cry about patiently
sitting in the stands
10:54.270 --> 10:58.990
while you couldn't even find the time
to bring her a plate of fish and chips.
10:58.990 --> 11:01.950
Come on. She wouldn't cry over that.
11:02.310 --> 11:06.490
A whole grilled mini kraken,
those thin, savory pancakes...
11:06.490 --> 11:12.250
What else was there? She said the fried balls
and the fish and chips were nonnegotiable.
11:13.280 --> 11:15.380
Let's get going, Lieutenant.
11:15.710 --> 11:18.720
Jurgen's a real stickler for details...
11:18.720 --> 11:23.310
One other thing. Make sure the food
we bought first doesn't get cold.
11:28.070 --> 11:29.300
Oh, pardon me.
11:29.300 --> 11:30.580
No, it's fine.
11:32.070 --> 11:36.450
You're Sir Abel, proxy
to the guild master of Lune, no?
11:36.450 --> 11:40.070
Indeed, Prince Conrad. My name is Abel.
11:40.070 --> 11:42.280
That's what I'm going by
at the moment, at least.
11:42.510 --> 11:44.540
I see. Begging your pardon.
11:44.850 --> 11:49.120
You resemble someone I once met, so...
11:49.390 --> 11:52.050
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
11:52.050 --> 11:55.380
I noticed someone in the guest seats earlier.
11:55.720 --> 11:58.680
The Imperial Magic Division's Princess Fiona.
11:59.190 --> 12:03.850
Did something about her
catch your eye, Sir Abel?
12:04.360 --> 12:10.560
I'm not sure what you might mean, but if
she's here, her lieutenant must be as well.
12:10.920 --> 12:14.900
The Inferno Magician, Baron Oscar Luska.
12:15.200 --> 12:18.250
That falls under military affairs,
which I'm not at liberty to discuss.
12:18.590 --> 12:22.060
Oh, pardon me, but I spy a lord
with whom I was hoping to engage.
12:22.450 --> 12:23.860
We'll speak another time.
12:26.110 --> 12:31.330
He's a tough nut to crack.
I'm really terrible at this business.
12:32.550 --> 12:34.290
So tired...
12:34.570 --> 12:38.630
Highness, I am asking you for the second
time to behave a bit more properly.
12:38.860 --> 12:44.600
Do you realize how exhausting it is to
play princess while everyone is staring?
12:44.820 --> 12:48.330
But you are a princess, Your Highness.
12:59.520 --> 13:01.570
We're back, Your Highness.
13:01.940 --> 13:03.410
I appreciate it.
13:03.840 --> 13:05.410
So tired...
13:05.410 --> 13:08.370
Her Highness said the same thing.
13:10.540 --> 13:13.420
I just don't like crowds, all right?
13:13.720 --> 13:18.630
You almost ran into that one fellow.
Somehow avoided him, though.
13:18.630 --> 13:20.130
That was a close call.
13:20.560 --> 13:25.220
But we avoided each other because
he was so quick to react, I didn't need to.
13:25.220 --> 13:26.930
That quick, huh?
13:26.930 --> 13:30.890
He might dress like a magician,
but he definitely knows how to move.
13:34.150 --> 13:37.110
For now, let's eat!
13:37.110 --> 13:39.570
Thank you so much, Master!
13:39.570 --> 13:43.780
Your Highness, I keep asking
you to not call me that.
13:43.780 --> 13:47.900
It's just the four of us here.
I don't see the problem.
13:58.500 --> 14:03.550
Next up, also from the party Room 10, is Eto!
14:03.550 --> 14:05.660
Did you not enter, Nils?
14:06.510 --> 14:07.720
Prepare to be mind-blown.
14:08.000 --> 14:10.430
I have never touched a bow in my life!
14:10.430 --> 14:14.060
That was so in-character, it somehow managed
to loop back around to being surprising.
14:15.530 --> 14:17.130
A-Abel?!
14:17.130 --> 14:19.230
Don't laugh at him like that, Abel.
14:19.230 --> 14:20.750
Oh, sorry.
14:20.750 --> 14:22.690
I wasn't laughing at him
14:22.690 --> 14:26.200
so much as I was reminded
of myself when I was younger.
14:26.200 --> 14:28.590
I couldn't hit anything...
14:28.590 --> 14:30.160
Archery really is difficult.
14:30.390 --> 14:33.120
Welp, sounds like it's your turn, Abel!
14:33.450 --> 14:37.460
Why don't you show these young
pups what real archery looks like?
14:33.810 --> 14:38.620
Do I have any other challengers?
Hit the target, and win a prize!
14:37.460 --> 14:39.470
Yeah, except I'm a swordsman.
14:39.470 --> 14:41.590
I know you can do it, Abel!
14:41.840 --> 14:45.110
Next up is an adventurer from Lune!
14:45.110 --> 14:46.930
His name is Abel!
14:48.010 --> 14:49.970
Here you go, Abel!
14:50.360 --> 14:51.640
R-Right.
15:05.680 --> 15:07.530
And he makes the shot!
15:07.530 --> 15:09.490
What a spotlight stealer.
15:09.490 --> 15:12.280
You're so amazing, Abel!
15:10.150 --> 15:12.990
Goodness! Well done!
15:15.070 --> 15:18.330
Oh, Abel, I see you're free already.
15:18.950 --> 15:20.790
R-Rihya...
15:21.080 --> 15:24.010
Why are you guys carrying so much stuff?
15:24.010 --> 15:26.760
Women have certain necessities, you see.
15:27.050 --> 15:32.070
He promised to go around with her today
but didn't show, so she's livid!
15:32.070 --> 15:33.220
That explains it.
15:33.220 --> 15:36.180
W-Well, Ryo, guys, I'll see you later!
15:36.620 --> 15:39.190
Abel is seriously awesome!
15:39.190 --> 15:41.450
Rihya is a goddess...
16:00.950 --> 16:02.960
It's been a while, Nina.
16:02.960 --> 16:05.420
Oh, Sera! Rare to see you drop by.
16:05.940 --> 16:08.130
What brings you today?
16:08.440 --> 16:11.480
I'm looking for Ryo, a D-rank adventurer.
16:11.480 --> 16:15.970
I wanted to let him know I've found a lead on
something he was searching for in the library.
16:17.310 --> 16:20.190
Ryo's actually out of town
for work at the moment.
16:20.440 --> 16:23.150
I see. I guess I'll come back tomorrow, then.
16:23.460 --> 16:24.970
Oh, hang on!
16:25.390 --> 16:28.410
Ryo actually accepted an extended job.
16:28.410 --> 16:30.360
He won't be back for a while.
16:31.820 --> 16:35.170
S-Sera? Are you okay?
16:35.480 --> 16:39.290
Oh, yes. I'm fine. Just fine.
16:39.640 --> 16:42.880
Now then, how long is "a while"?
16:43.160 --> 16:48.340
I'm not sure specifically,
but at least another week, I believe.
16:48.570 --> 16:52.220
I see. Understood. I appreciate it.
16:53.080 --> 16:56.280
A while... A while, huh?
16:59.850 --> 17:01.710
They're in the next race, right?
17:01.710 --> 17:04.650
Nils and Amon said they were in
the contest for adventurers.
17:04.650 --> 17:07.940
I think so, but isn't that...
17:08.280 --> 17:10.080
What the hell're you doing here?!
17:10.080 --> 17:12.450
Huh?! I could ask the same of you!
17:12.450 --> 17:14.550
Where did you even find a partner?!
17:12.450 --> 17:15.320
I never thought Dan would be participating.
17:14.550 --> 17:17.730
This isn't the kind of sport
your lot should be involved in!
17:16.080 --> 17:18.040
Isn't that girl...?
17:17.730 --> 17:19.300
Say what?!
17:18.040 --> 17:23.800
Oh, that's Sasha from Room 2.
She's a priest, like me.
17:23.800 --> 17:26.540
I guess she joined Dan's party, hmm?
17:30.970 --> 17:34.430
Why's there a separate race for adventurers?
17:34.760 --> 17:40.250
It seems adventurers are allowed to attack
other boats in the back half of the race.
17:40.250 --> 17:42.770
Magic being against the rules
puts a twist in things.
17:43.000 --> 17:46.110
Wouldn't magic put a pretty
swift end to the race?
17:46.110 --> 17:50.100
Not everyone's like you, lieutenant.
Don't be ridiculous.
17:50.100 --> 17:54.450
You must really like those crepes.
You had some yesterday, too.
17:54.700 --> 17:57.310
Yes! They're absolutely delicious!
17:57.310 --> 17:59.820
We should have them available
at the training grounds!
17:59.820 --> 18:00.750
Not happening.
18:00.750 --> 18:03.710
B-But, master, surely we could!
18:03.710 --> 18:06.830
The training grounds are for training.
18:06.830 --> 18:09.980
Food should be limited
and selected for nutrition.
18:09.980 --> 18:11.670
Which excludes such sweets.
18:13.350 --> 18:16.380
I'll have to invite a crepe
chef to the castle, then...
18:23.960 --> 18:26.100
They're almost at the last corner.
18:28.160 --> 18:29.350
Get back here!
18:29.350 --> 18:32.070
Stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid!
18:41.320 --> 18:42.910
This ain't over!
18:42.910 --> 18:44.870
I'm not losing to you!
18:47.580 --> 18:50.430
They'd have won if they'd
just crossed the bridge.
18:50.430 --> 18:53.920
And now they're guaranteed last
and second-to-last place.
19:09.590 --> 19:13.650
And now, a special award for the two teams
that entertained the crowd the most!
19:15.860 --> 19:17.740
They're still at it...
19:21.410 --> 19:23.050
Now that is impressive.
19:23.050 --> 19:24.460
Revolutionary, really.
19:25.370 --> 19:27.130
It's got such an odd shape.
19:27.130 --> 19:28.930
And no sail.
19:28.930 --> 19:30.210
Or oars.
19:30.540 --> 19:33.300
You lads here to see the Rain Shooter, too?
19:34.150 --> 19:38.450
I'd imagine anyone would want to see
such an impressive ship in action.
19:38.450 --> 19:41.010
But how does it move?
19:41.010 --> 19:45.690
From the explanation I heard yesterday,
a combination of magic stone and alchemy.
19:45.690 --> 19:51.230
Wind magic propels it above water,
and water magic pushes it below.
19:51.470 --> 19:54.100
I don't get how that works,
but it sounds cool!
19:54.100 --> 19:55.730
I'd love to board it.
19:56.440 --> 20:02.040
It had better be impressive, considering
it cost 370 billion florins to build.
20:04.930 --> 20:06.620
I've been wondering for a while now...
20:07.000 --> 20:13.280
How I can contribute to our fighting force
while Amon and Nils are on the front line?
20:13.280 --> 20:15.340
That led you to a crossbow, eh?
20:16.510 --> 20:18.350
Hey, welcome.
20:18.350 --> 20:19.420
Good afternoon.
20:20.750 --> 20:23.640
Are you boys looking for crossbows?
20:23.640 --> 20:27.080
Yes. I was thinking I could one
for cover fire from midrange.
20:28.240 --> 20:30.810
I've got just the thing, then.
20:36.550 --> 20:38.550
It's a repeating crossbow.
20:38.550 --> 20:42.660
Doesn't have the best range,
but you can fire in quick succession.
20:42.960 --> 20:45.240
I think I might be able to help with this!
20:45.240 --> 20:47.970
Yeah! We're counting on you.
21:04.790 --> 21:06.210
Will we be able to execute?
21:06.520 --> 21:07.850
Who all has left?
21:07.850 --> 21:10.440
Just the guild master from Lune.
21:10.440 --> 21:12.310
His proxy is going in his stead.
21:12.310 --> 21:15.770
Good. Then we proceed as planned tonight.
21:18.440 --> 21:20.860
Filling in once again, Sir Abel?
21:21.290 --> 21:26.940
I am. Our guild master was present
this morning, but he's since returned home.
21:27.400 --> 21:30.520
Which is why I'm here at the garden party.
21:30.520 --> 21:31.910
Brother.
21:32.350 --> 21:34.130
Ah, Fiona.
21:34.130 --> 21:36.960
Let me introduce you officially, Sir Abel.
21:36.960 --> 21:42.440
This is the eleventh imperial princess,
Fiona Rubine Bornemisza.
21:44.000 --> 21:45.810
My younger sister.
21:46.750 --> 21:51.600
Fiona, this is Sir Abel.
A rather impressive B-rank adventurer.
21:52.800 --> 21:55.310
We'll speak again later, Sir Abel.
22:01.080 --> 22:04.130
There's something unnerving
about not carrying a sword.
22:05.390 --> 22:08.920
Granted, with the protective field,
I probably don't need one.
22:10.470 --> 22:12.910
Sir Abel. Might I trouble you for a moment?
22:13.240 --> 22:14.080
Sure.
22:17.840 --> 22:21.420
Huh? The treasure isn't
channeling mana anymore!
22:21.420 --> 22:22.910
What do you mean?
22:22.910 --> 22:24.880
The barrier's going to come down at this rate!
22:25.100 --> 22:26.230
What?!
22:37.880 --> 22:38.750
Wha—
