1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:01,960
Chief Igarashi!

2
00:00:08,540 --> 00:00:10,050
{\an8}BOOMERANG DIVE

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,410
Mirage Step!

4
00:00:12,970 --> 00:00:14,630
{\an8}MIRAGE STEP

5
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:17,340
Is that a Valkyrie skill?

6
00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:21,680
I-It hurts... I don't wanna die...

7
00:00:22,220 --> 00:00:24,640
I can't stay in a messed-up 
place like this!

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,520
{\an8}RETURN SCROLL: INSTANTLY EXIT A LABYRINTH.
REDUCES CONTRIBUTION POINTS WHEN USED. 
TARGET: USER AND HIS/HER PARTY

9
00:00:33,660 --> 00:00:35,620
She was left behind?!

10
00:00:36,210 --> 00:00:40,210
So she wasn't actually 
in a party with them?

11
00:00:52,460 --> 00:01:03,100
{\an8}THE WORLD'S STRONGEST REARGUARD

12
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
{\an8}THE FIRST HURDLE

13
00:02:18,030 --> 00:02:20,960
Run away, Chief! We'll take it from here!

14
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,440
Atobe-kun?

15
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,080
Don't worry about me! You two should run!

16
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,820
I can't afford to lose here!

17
00:02:33,940 --> 00:02:35,910
I'm the one you should be fighting!

18
00:02:36,250 --> 00:02:38,060
Thunderbolt!

19
00:02:38,130 --> 00:02:39,220
{\an8}THUNDERBOLT

20
00:02:51,140 --> 00:02:56,700
Is she already too low on power 
to activate Mirage Step?

21
00:03:02,340 --> 00:03:03,910
Defense Support!

22
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,770
Defense Support!

23
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,730
I-It worked that time?

24
00:03:16,730 --> 00:03:21,980
That's right. Defense Support 
only works on party members!

25
00:03:24,250 --> 00:03:25,560
If only...

26
00:03:26,150 --> 00:03:27,850
I'd joined up with her then...

27
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:32,520
Run...

28
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,890
Atobe-kun...

29
00:03:34,890 --> 00:03:39,620
I'm sorry... I couldn't be of any use.

30
00:03:40,490 --> 00:03:43,130
I'm the one who should apologize.

31
00:03:45,370 --> 00:03:48,170
I realized when Defense Support activated

32
00:03:48,170 --> 00:03:51,760
that my skills can fully 
block that thing's attacks.

33
00:03:51,850 --> 00:03:56,150
{\an8}ATTACK SUPPORT LV. 1 ACQUIRED 
ADDS 10 INJURY POINTS TO ATTACKS
MADE BY PARTY MEMBERS IN FRONT

34
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:56,140
If even that attack wasn't 
worth ten points...

35
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,660
Theresia, I need your help!

36
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,230
I don't think so!

37
00:04:12,670 --> 00:04:14,960
Even if my attacks don't land,

38
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,920
Theresia's attacks enhanced by my 
Attack Support can take you down!

39
00:04:21,220 --> 00:04:22,870
Theresia, I'll back you up!

40
00:04:38,980 --> 00:04:40,450
We beat it...

41
00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:44,240
Chief Igarashi!

42
00:04:44,610 --> 00:04:47,550
Hey! You guys all right?

43
00:04:47,550 --> 00:04:50,450
Theresia, bring Ribault 
and his party here!

44
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:04,960
My level went up?

45
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:07,030
My skill points, too.

46
00:05:07,030 --> 00:05:10,130
Good. Now I can get Recovery Support.

47
00:05:15,150 --> 00:05:18,450
Chief Igarashi, it's me, Atobe.

48
00:05:18,450 --> 00:05:20,500
Help is on the way,

49
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:23,060
but I can give you first 
aid in the meantime.

50
00:05:23,060 --> 00:05:26,280
Would you join my party so I can do that?

51
00:05:27,730 --> 00:05:32,340
If you... try anything 
funny... I'll sue you.

52
00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:45,670
{\an8}DEFEATED MONSTER: REDFACE

53
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,640
Wow, this looks bad.

54
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,940
We're gonna get you to 
a Healer right away.

55
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,150
What in the world happened?

56
00:06:01,510 --> 00:06:03,680
A Named monster showed up.

57
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,270
It was close, but we 
managed to deal with it.

58
00:06:06,530 --> 00:06:10,570
A Named? You don't mean that 
red Cotton Ball, do you?

59
00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:14,370
That thing's capable of 
wiping out level 3 parties!

60
00:06:14,370 --> 00:06:16,310
How the hell did you—

61
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:19,130
I'm sorry. That was rude of me.

62
00:06:19,130 --> 00:06:20,500
It's all right.

63
00:06:21,250 --> 00:06:24,540
My name's Elitia. What's yours?

64
00:06:24,830 --> 00:06:26,610
I'm Arihito.

65
00:06:26,610 --> 00:06:29,670
And you're... Suzuna-san, right?

66
00:06:29,670 --> 00:06:31,020
Yes.

67
00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:36,890
Um, didn't that woman they carried 
off reincarnate here when we did?

68
00:06:36,890 --> 00:06:39,620
Yeah, but don't worry.

69
00:06:39,620 --> 00:06:42,590
She's unconscious, but 
her vitality has recovered.

70
00:06:42,590 --> 00:06:43,700
Huh?

71
00:06:46,250 --> 00:06:48,310
Was there something you wanted to ask?

72
00:06:48,310 --> 00:06:50,640
N-No, nothing.

73
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,270
Of course. If there was a rearguard that 
talented around, it'd be a huge deal.

74
00:06:57,270 --> 00:07:01,030
Elitia wanted to team up 
with a good rearguard.

75
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:04,390
If I explain my job to her now,

76
00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:07,130
she might ask me to be in her party...

77
00:07:07,130 --> 00:07:10,260
but right now, the Chief's 
well-being comes first.

78
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,910
Well, I'll be going.

79
00:07:13,910 --> 00:07:15,220
Oh... Right.

80
00:07:15,550 --> 00:07:17,850
We should go, too, Suzuna.

81
00:07:19,650 --> 00:07:20,830
See you around.

82
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,010
It hasn't even been half a day, and 
you've been in a battle and made it back?

83
00:07:30,010 --> 00:07:31,360
Very heroic.

84
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,960
Theresia, leave the weapon 
you used with the craftsman.

85
00:07:38,110 --> 00:07:41,670
Hm? Got something you want to tell me?

86
00:07:57,410 --> 00:08:00,890
Looks like she really 
took a liking to you.

87
00:08:00,890 --> 00:08:03,370
What? R-Really?

88
00:08:04,090 --> 00:08:10,440
Um, Leila-san, is there a way to 
officially add a mercenary to a party?

89
00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:12,740
You mean Theresia?

90
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:20,200
A hundred Copper Tickets.

91
00:08:21,580 --> 00:08:23,780
That's enough to buy a mercenary.

92
00:08:23,780 --> 00:08:27,880
I normally only tell this to people 
who hire human mercenaries,

93
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,590
but I think I'd like you to know.

94
00:08:31,490 --> 00:08:33,270
A hundred...

95
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,460
If that'll make her a member of my 
party, it doesn't seem too high.

96
00:08:38,820 --> 00:08:41,110
We only went Seeking together once,

97
00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:44,410
but the teamwork I built up 
with her is indispensable.

98
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,560
Mr. Atobe!

99
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:50,680
You aren't hurt, are you? Or poisoned?

100
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:53,570
I'm unharmed, as you can see.

101
00:08:53,570 --> 00:08:55,150
What a relief!

102
00:08:57,060 --> 00:09:00,650
Louisa-san, could I talk 
to you for a moment?

103
00:09:01,220 --> 00:09:02,830
O-Of course...

104
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,840
The results of this Seeking...

105
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,710
You slew Redface, a monster 
carrying a bounty.

106
00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:12,920
The reward for that is 20 gold coins.

107
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,850
And your Contribution Points total...

108
00:09:14,850 --> 00:09:17,050
280?!

109
00:09:17,050 --> 00:09:19,310
That's amazing! Too amazing!

110
00:09:19,310 --> 00:09:22,980
The most Contribution Points I 
ever earned as a Seeker was 105!

111
00:09:22,980 --> 00:09:27,880
And I had to kill 50 Cotton 
Balls just to reach level 2!

112
00:09:28,180 --> 00:09:32,390
Louisa-san, what's the "Trust" 
that's displayed there?

113
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,830
In the guild, whether or not one builds 
harmonious relationships with other Seekers

114
00:09:37,830 --> 00:09:40,270
is reflected in your Contribution Points.

115
00:09:40,270 --> 00:09:41,450
Huh...

116
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:46,460
Of course, Trust is normally something 
that can't be quantified,

117
00:09:46,460 --> 00:09:51,210
but your license rates and quantifies it 
based on the condition of your partymates.

118
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,120
Your Trust increase rate 
also affects your Contribution Points.

119
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,040
But it rarely goes any higher than 
five at best in a single Seeking...

120
00:10:02,370 --> 00:10:04,360
And yet you have 50?!

121
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,050
Just how close did you two 
get in such a short time?!

122
00:10:08,050 --> 00:10:10,210
This is an incredible number!

123
00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:14,470
I see... So is that why...

124
00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:17,260
Theresia acted like that earlier?

125
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,970
To make the most of my 
strengths as a Rearguard,

126
00:10:20,970 --> 00:10:24,090
I need good relationships with 
my vanguard and midguard.

127
00:10:24,090 --> 00:10:26,960
In other words, as we 
all support each other,

128
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,410
they'll grow fond of me 
to an abnormal degree?

129
00:10:30,410 --> 00:10:33,880
What?! Wait, isn't that really bad?

130
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,510
Trust doesn't usually go up with 
a demi-human, and yet yours...

131
00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:42,830
This might make your new and unknown job

132
00:10:42,830 --> 00:10:46,590
the most powerful rearguard 
job in the world!

133
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:49,490
Huh? Oh, no, I don't think...

134
00:10:49,990 --> 00:10:53,130
Oh... Also, Louisa-san,

135
00:10:53,130 --> 00:10:56,280
please don't tell anyone 
about this just yet.

136
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,750
Right... I see.

137
00:10:58,750 --> 00:11:01,160
If word of your achievement gets out,

138
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,490
a lot of people might come around 
who just want to use you.

139
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:06,240
I understand.

140
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,270
Thank you.

141
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:09,700
At any rate,

142
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:23,630
{\an8}CURRENT RANKING 
OVERALL: 137529/139444 
DISTRICT 8: 1124/3039

143
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:15,020
you currently rank 137,529th overall,

144
00:11:15,020 --> 00:11:18,130
and 1,124th in District 8 alone.

145
00:11:18,130 --> 00:11:21,420
There are around 3,000 
Seekers in District 8,

146
00:11:21,420 --> 00:11:23,660
so that puts you in the top half.

147
00:11:23,660 --> 00:11:28,090
That qualifies you for lodging 
in a suite in District 8.

148
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,180
A suite?

149
00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:37,020
Also, the one who was brought to 
the Healer, Ms. Kyouka Igarashi...

150
00:11:37,020 --> 00:11:40,410
I'm told she has awakened 
in the emergency room.

151
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:45,790
Pardon me.

152
00:11:47,450 --> 00:11:50,380
Thank goodness. I didn't know 
what might happen to you.

153
00:11:50,690 --> 00:11:53,810
I thought I was a goner for sure.

154
00:11:53,810 --> 00:11:56,730
Thank you for saving me, Atobe-kun.

155
00:11:57,710 --> 00:12:01,200
When people find out 
you defeated a Named,

156
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,150
you'll probably have a lot of high-ranked 
parties fighting over you.

157
00:12:05,150 --> 00:12:07,230
You shot up the ranks quick.

158
00:12:08,810 --> 00:12:10,980
Me, on the other hand...

159
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:14,350
I was KO'd and had to be 
rescued by supporters.

160
00:12:14,350 --> 00:12:15,940
Zero Contribution Points.

161
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,700
I just picked a job that sounded cool

162
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:22,880
and couldn't find any partymates.

163
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,540
I thought I could manage on my 
own, but I couldn't at all.

164
00:12:28,370 --> 00:12:33,610
I thought you were very cool when you 
saw me in danger and didn't run away.

165
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,160
That ended up motivating me.

166
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:43,020
Though I'm sure it was pure luck 
that I was able to kill that thing.

167
00:12:44,630 --> 00:12:46,840
Anyway, Chief...

168
00:12:47,310 --> 00:12:51,400
could I convince you to 
officially join my party?

169
00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:55,630
If you decide I'm worth teaming up with,

170
00:12:55,630 --> 00:12:58,460
you're free to leave then and there.

171
00:12:58,460 --> 00:13:01,310
I will do the best I can, but...

172
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:09,280
You saved me, and then you comforted me.

173
00:13:09,470 --> 00:13:12,780
I'm not the kind of loser

174
00:13:12,780 --> 00:13:17,160
who'd refuse to do what 
you ask after all that.

175
00:13:17,490 --> 00:13:22,460
U-Um... Can I take that 
to mean you accept?

176
00:13:25,310 --> 00:13:28,550
Th-Thank you! In that case, Chief—

177
00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:29,980
A-Atobe-kun...

178
00:13:31,170 --> 00:13:34,640
Could you call me something 
other than "Chief"?

179
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:35,940
Huh?

180
00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:40,520
Th-Then... Igarashi-san?

181
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,730
That feels kinda weird...

182
00:13:42,730 --> 00:13:45,820
but I look forward to working with you.

183
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,570
Any good rearguards around here-guard?

184
00:13:49,990 --> 00:13:54,990
{\an8}THE WORLD'S STRONGEST REARGUARD

185
00:13:54,990 --> 00:14:00,000
{\an8}THE WORLD'S STRONGEST REARGUARD

186
00:13:56,810 --> 00:13:59,180
This feels like a shampoo commercial!

187
00:14:01,410 --> 00:14:03,010
Are you sure about this?

188
00:14:03,010 --> 00:14:06,440
You really don't mind me 
staying at your place?

189
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,620
Of course not.

190
00:14:07,620 --> 00:14:10,380
Then I guess I'll take you up on that.

191
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,820
Want to stop by here first?

192
00:14:16,060 --> 00:14:17,490
Can we?

193
00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:24,440
You wear clothes like that, too?

194
00:14:24,740 --> 00:14:28,480
Oh, I mean... I've only ever 
seen you in suits and such.

195
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,360
Yeah, I guess so.

196
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,910
And we never really met 
outside the office.

197
00:14:32,910 --> 00:14:36,990
Yeah, and we never went 
drinking or anything, either.

198
00:14:36,990 --> 00:14:42,380
In fact, I don't think I ever spoke with 
you about anything other than work.

199
00:14:43,150 --> 00:14:45,660
This is kind of embarrassing, but...

200
00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:50,290
I had a curfew.

201
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,490
I always had to be home before then.

202
00:14:53,490 --> 00:14:55,340
Oh, I had no idea.

203
00:14:55,340 --> 00:14:59,070
I thought it was silly, 
since I'm an adult now,

204
00:14:59,070 --> 00:15:02,230
but since my parents always 
decided everything in my life,

205
00:15:02,230 --> 00:15:03,810
I couldn't manage alone.

206
00:15:04,330 --> 00:15:09,720
And then I got a marriage offer 
from one of my dad's clients.

207
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,470
M-Marriage?

208
00:15:11,470 --> 00:15:13,470
Selfish, right?

209
00:15:13,470 --> 00:15:17,230
But at the time, I finally 
realized deep down

210
00:15:17,230 --> 00:15:19,150
that I couldn't keep living like that.

211
00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:22,140
So I built up my career 
and struck out on my own.

212
00:15:22,140 --> 00:15:25,000
I worked frantically every day to 
reach a point where my parents

213
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,920
wouldn't have a say anymore.

214
00:15:33,790 --> 00:15:36,810
I made so many unreasonable 
demands of you.

215
00:15:36,810 --> 00:15:38,050
I'm sorry.

216
00:15:38,050 --> 00:15:39,330
Not at all.

217
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,250
I guess she just wanted to protect 
her own life, in her own way.

218
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,020
I'm glad I got to know 
you a little better.

219
00:15:50,020 --> 00:15:51,190
Huh?

220
00:15:51,510 --> 00:15:54,970
We're going to be a party 
from now on, after all.

221
00:15:54,970 --> 00:15:56,410
That's true.

222
00:15:56,410 --> 00:15:59,140
Well, let's eat before it gets cold.

223
00:15:59,140 --> 00:16:00,900
Hey, did you hear?

224
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:03,770
Apparently Death Sword's 
back in District 8.

225
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,560
Oh, you mean Elitia?

226
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,250
I heard she's snapped up a novice

227
00:16:09,250 --> 00:16:11,870
to try to raise her until 
she amounts to something.

228
00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:15,000
They're talking about Elitia and Suzuna?

229
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,850
She ran all the way here after 
leaving the White Night Brigade?

230
00:16:20,810 --> 00:16:22,900
Shouldn't we see this as an opportunity?

231
00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:25,540
A high-ranked Seeker carrying 
that kinda baggage around?

232
00:16:25,540 --> 00:16:26,780
If we play it right...

233
00:16:26,780 --> 00:16:29,330
Hey. Save that for later.

234
00:16:34,810 --> 00:16:36,950
W-Well, then...

235
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:43,140
Goodnight.

236
00:16:43,740 --> 00:16:46,190
Yes, goodnight.

237
00:16:50,890 --> 00:16:55,300
H-Hey, Atobe-kun... Could I...

238
00:16:57,970 --> 00:17:01,730
Igarashi-san? What's the matter?

239
00:17:01,730 --> 00:17:06,790
Well, how do I put this? Please 
don't think badly of me, but...

240
00:17:06,790 --> 00:17:10,140
I'd prefer it if you slept 
with your back to me...

241
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,940
O-Oh... I guess I turned 
over in my sleep.

242
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,580
I know you can't help that...

243
00:17:16,580 --> 00:17:21,350
but when you sleep facing me, I 
just... can't help noticing...

244
00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:24,040
Even I think it's weird, but...

245
00:17:27,030 --> 00:17:27,910
Hang on.

246
00:17:29,330 --> 00:17:31,340
{\an8}RECOVERY SUPPORT LV. 1

247
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,870
The Rearguard skill Recovery Support 1!

248
00:17:34,870 --> 00:17:38,800
That's right! In this position, 
we're vanguard and rearguard!

249
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,860
I-I-I'm so sorry! I'll 
sleep in the living room!

250
00:17:44,860 --> 00:17:45,640
Huh?

251
00:17:48,770 --> 00:17:50,020
{\an8}RECOVERY SUPPORT LV. 1

252
00:17:50,020 --> 00:17:55,150
Recovery Support 1 stays in 
effect even outside of combat?

253
00:17:55,150 --> 00:17:58,560
I'll have to move my bed tomorrow.

254
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:05,610
So, um...

255
00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:08,600
Sorry I haven't introduced myself yet.

256
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,810
I'm Kyouka Igarashi.

257
00:18:10,810 --> 00:18:14,400
Thanks for saving me 
yesterday, Theresia-san.

258
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:19,000
Did I do something bad?

259
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,850
No, it's not that at all. 
Don't worry about it.

260
00:18:25,950 --> 00:18:27,380
Excuse me.

261
00:18:27,380 --> 00:18:31,520
I'm here about the monster dissection 
and armor work that I requested.

262
00:18:35,660 --> 00:18:39,490
Theresia got a Red Buckler 
that reduces fire damage,

263
00:18:39,490 --> 00:18:43,120
Igarashi-san got a scarf 
that reduces fire damage,

264
00:18:43,450 --> 00:18:47,110
and I got my slingshot 
turned into a Blaze Shot.

265
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,400
We made it in time.

266
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:54,090
Good thing we left the materials from the 
Redface with that dissector yesterday.

267
00:18:54,930 --> 00:19:00,040
Now that we have these items, I'll 
have you two be my vanguard today.

268
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:05,210
Igarashi-san, I'll back you up!

269
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,050
Defense Support!

270
00:19:15,050 --> 00:19:18,020
Good. My support reaches 
everyone serving as vanguard.

271
00:19:23,070 --> 00:19:26,490
{\an8}DEFEATED MONSTERS 
COTTON BALL: 15   POISON SPEAR BEE: 3

272
00:19:27,550 --> 00:19:30,740
So if we go through there, 
we'll be on the second floor?

273
00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:33,130
It feels kinda creepy.

274
00:19:34,140 --> 00:19:39,930
To get the 100 tickets needed 
to add Theresia to the party ASAP,

275
00:19:39,930 --> 00:19:43,320
we should probably fight some stronger 
monsters on the second floor.

276
00:19:43,850 --> 00:19:45,170
But...

277
00:19:44,340 --> 00:19:53,810
{\an8}JUGGERNAUT

278
00:19:45,170 --> 00:19:48,890
there are rumors that a Named 
has been showing up there.

279
00:19:48,890 --> 00:19:53,450
One vicious enough to take 
out level 3 and 4 parties.

280
00:19:55,370 --> 00:19:57,600
We're still only level 2.

281
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,710
If we run into a monster 
like that, we're done for.

282
00:20:01,980 --> 00:20:05,750
Theresia, Igarashi-san, 
let's head back for toda—

283
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,090
Was that voice...

284
00:20:11,450 --> 00:20:12,990
We don't have a choice now!

285
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:22,890
Elitia?

286
00:20:22,890 --> 00:20:24,320
Suzuna?

287
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,630
And they're up against...

288
00:20:29,010 --> 00:20:30,890
{\an8}FANGED ORC

289
00:20:29,050 --> 00:20:30,550
a Fanged Orc?

290
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:32,810
Suzuna, stay back!

291
00:20:32,810 --> 00:20:34,220
Slash Ripper!

292
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,850
{\an8}SLASH RIPPER

293
00:20:41,930 --> 00:20:43,790
Igarashi-san, Theresia!

294
00:20:43,790 --> 00:20:46,030
We'll draw the bees' attention to us!

295
00:20:46,030 --> 00:20:47,070
Got it!

296
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:48,390
{\an8}ACCEL DASH

297
00:20:50,770 --> 00:20:51,860
Arihito-san!

298
00:20:56,670 --> 00:20:58,330
They're too far away!

299
00:21:00,260 --> 00:21:01,500
Defense Support!

300
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,310
Thunderbolt!

301
00:21:14,810 --> 00:21:16,070
Are you all right?

302
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,650
Y-Yes... I'm fine.

303
00:21:19,650 --> 00:21:23,670
But I know I'm just holding her back.

304
00:21:24,060 --> 00:21:25,790
No, you're not.

305
00:21:25,790 --> 00:21:29,770
You made it this far, and even 
defeated all those Cotton Balls.

306
00:21:30,070 --> 00:21:31,630
Oh, I get it.

307
00:21:31,630 --> 00:21:34,810
To help Suzuna level up more efficiently,

308
00:21:34,810 --> 00:21:38,200
you broke up your party so 
you can draw enemies to you

309
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,590
and let Suzuna deal the finishing blow.

310
00:21:40,590 --> 00:21:41,480
Yes.

311
00:21:41,980 --> 00:21:45,490
But those bees attack 
rearguards like Suzuna, too.

312
00:21:45,490 --> 00:21:49,100
Wouldn't it be safer to look 
for other monsters to fight?

313
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:51,400
We don't have time for that.

314
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,640
I need to get Suzuna as strong as 
I am quickly and get back there.

315
00:21:56,580 --> 00:21:57,610
"Back there"?

316
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:03,400
Do you mean—and I'm 
sorry if I'm wrong—

317
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:04,780
back to the White Night Brigade?
