1
00:00:01,084 --> 00:00:05,923
[bird crying]

2
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:07,090
[coughs]

3
00:00:10,469 --> 00:00:12,804
[RUDEUS] Feels like there's
a lot of history in this place.

4
00:00:13,347 --> 00:00:16,141
[ARIEL] I'm told that the humans
barricaded themselves here

5
00:00:16,225 --> 00:00:19,228
in an effort to fend off
a demon invasion during the war.

6
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:22,773
In the end, their strength
was no match for the demons,

7
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:24,399
and the fortress fell.

8
00:00:24,483 --> 00:00:25,734
[RUDEUS] Wow.

9
00:00:25,817 --> 00:00:28,195
Perugius,
the Armored Dragon King,

10
00:00:28,278 --> 00:00:30,072
is a hero of the Laplace War.

11
00:00:31,073 --> 00:00:33,033
With the aid
of his 12 familiars,

12
00:00:33,116 --> 00:00:36,036
King Perugius repaired
an ancient flying fortress,

13
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:39,456
and then he and his companions
sealed Laplace away.

14
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:40,499
After that,

15
00:00:40,999 --> 00:00:42,668
people started using
the Armored Dragon Calendar

16
00:00:42,751 --> 00:00:43,835
in the king's honor.

17
00:00:44,461 --> 00:00:45,921
Miss Nanahoshi,

18
00:00:46,004 --> 00:00:47,631
you have my thanks
for permitting us

19
00:00:47,714 --> 00:00:48,924
to tag along with you.

20
00:00:49,007 --> 00:00:51,009
Thank Sylphie.
I owed her a favor.

21
00:00:55,973 --> 00:00:56,974
We're here.

22
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:01,019
[gasps]

23
00:01:01,478 --> 00:01:02,729
Okay. What do we do?

24
00:01:03,355 --> 00:01:04,189
[NANAHOSHI] Call our ride.

25
00:01:07,401 --> 00:01:08,443
[blows]

26
00:01:11,113 --> 00:01:12,739
I don't hear a thing.

27
00:01:14,866 --> 00:01:16,118
- There he is.
- [RUDEUS] Hmm?

28
00:01:20,956 --> 00:01:23,333
[ALMANFI] Almanfi the Radiant,
at your service.

29
00:01:26,628 --> 00:01:27,963
[RUDEUS] This guy.

30
00:01:28,338 --> 00:01:31,800
When Perugius's name came up,
I worried I might run into him.

31
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:35,095
[NANAHOSHI] There aren't
too many of us, are there?

32
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:36,847
[ALMANFI]
Numbers aren't a problem.

33
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:39,141
However, the demon stays.

34
00:01:39,224 --> 00:01:40,267
Uh?

35
00:01:41,727 --> 00:01:43,186
[NANAHOSHI]
Can't you make an exception?

36
00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:45,981
[ALMANFI] Though King Perugius
is magnanimous,

37
00:01:46,064 --> 00:01:47,649
he detests demonkind.

38
00:01:48,150 --> 00:01:49,651
Oh, it's fine.

39
00:01:49,735 --> 00:01:52,070
I'm quite used to
being looked down upon.

40
00:01:52,404 --> 00:01:54,072
You want me
to bring you a souvenir?

41
00:01:54,156 --> 00:01:57,034
The only thing I'll need
is a hug from you.

42
00:01:57,117 --> 00:01:58,035
That's all.

43
00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:03,248
So what do we do with this?

44
00:02:03,874 --> 00:02:05,459
[ALMANFI] Simply hold on to it.

45
00:02:05,542 --> 00:02:06,918
And then we wait.

46
00:02:07,002 --> 00:02:08,086
Not long.

47
00:02:09,087 --> 00:02:11,089
Rather thrilling,
don't you think?

48
00:02:11,173 --> 00:02:12,257
Indeed it is!

49
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:13,967
- [whooshing]
- [gasps]

50
00:02:14,051 --> 00:02:15,093
Uh?

51
00:02:16,762 --> 00:02:17,679
[gasps]

52
00:02:19,431 --> 00:02:20,474
[gasps]

53
00:02:20,807 --> 00:02:22,559
[both gasp]

54
00:02:24,978 --> 00:02:26,104
Uh--

55
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:31,318
[gasps]

56
00:02:37,991 --> 00:02:38,909
[gasps]

57
00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:44,539
[RUDEUS] Was that Perugius's
teleportation magic?

58
00:02:44,998 --> 00:02:46,249
[CLIFF] Hey, over here!

59
00:02:50,253 --> 00:02:52,339
[ZANOBA] Oh.

60
00:03:00,806 --> 00:03:03,308
[WOMAN] Quite a view
from atop our flying fortress.

61
00:03:03,392 --> 00:03:06,144
It is rather pleasing,
wouldn't you agree?

62
00:03:06,228 --> 00:03:09,731
Of King Perugius's 12 servants,
I am the first.

63
00:03:10,273 --> 00:03:12,359
My name is Sylvaril of the Void.

64
00:03:12,901 --> 00:03:14,361
During your visit,

65
00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:16,405
I'll have the honor
of guiding you

66
00:03:16,488 --> 00:03:17,656
through our flying fortress,

67
00:03:17,739 --> 00:03:19,074
the Chaos Breaker.

68
00:03:26,081 --> 00:03:28,041
[♪ opening theme song playing]

69
00:03:30,001 --> 00:03:31,795
[NANAHOSHI] It's good
to see you again, Sylvaril.

70
00:03:31,878 --> 00:03:33,338
[SYLVARIL]
Same to you, Miss Nanahoshi.

71
00:03:33,964 --> 00:03:36,007
- Are you-- Not well, I see.
- [coughing]

72
00:03:42,139 --> 00:03:44,141
[Zanoba chuckling in awe]

73
00:03:53,692 --> 00:03:54,651
[SYLVARIL] Uh?

74
00:03:55,694 --> 00:03:56,778
Is something wrong?

75
00:03:57,446 --> 00:04:00,073
No, nothing
of real consequence, at least.

76
00:04:00,657 --> 00:04:04,661
But may I please ask
the two of you one question?

77
00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:05,745
[RUDEUS] What is it?

78
00:04:05,829 --> 00:04:07,706
Does this have meaning to you?

79
00:04:07,789 --> 00:04:09,624
The name "Man-God."

80
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:17,174
- No. Not at all.
- [gasps]

81
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:20,260
[SYLVARIL] So, hearing the name
does not arouse in you

82
00:04:20,343 --> 00:04:22,679
a deep-seated anger
or animosity?

83
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:24,347
[SYLPHIETTE] It doesn't.

84
00:04:24,431 --> 00:04:25,891
[RUDEUS] Not in me, either.

85
00:04:25,974 --> 00:04:29,728
Well then, let us continue,
as I have nothing more to say.

86
00:04:50,415 --> 00:04:52,042
[SYLVARIL] We have reached
the audience chamber.

87
00:04:53,043 --> 00:04:54,961
King Perugius is a tolerant man,

88
00:04:55,045 --> 00:04:58,590
but I would urge you to mind
your manners all the same.

89
00:05:04,054 --> 00:05:05,347
[footsteps]

90
00:05:26,576 --> 00:05:28,870
I see you've arrived.

91
00:05:28,954 --> 00:05:31,122
I am Perugius Dola.

92
00:05:31,748 --> 00:05:34,376
[NANAHOSHI] It is a pleasure
to see you again, Your Majesty.

93
00:05:34,459 --> 00:05:36,086
Nanahoshi.

94
00:05:36,169 --> 00:05:37,629
Since you've returned,

95
00:05:37,712 --> 00:05:39,965
I assume that means
you have made progress

96
00:05:40,048 --> 00:05:42,467
concerning summoning
from other worlds?

97
00:05:42,968 --> 00:05:44,010
[NANAHOSHI] I have,

98
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:46,805
though it may not be
the result Your Majesty desires.

99
00:05:47,389 --> 00:05:48,932
[PERUGIUS]
It is the pursuit of knowledge

100
00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:51,059
which gives
the dragon race purpose,

101
00:05:51,142 --> 00:05:53,228
not the results themselves.

102
00:05:53,311 --> 00:05:54,980
Regardless,

103
00:05:55,063 --> 00:05:57,691
I hope that you will instruct me
in this world's summoning magic,

104
00:05:57,774 --> 00:05:59,109
as was promised.

105
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:00,360
[PERUGIUS] Very well.

106
00:06:00,777 --> 00:06:04,656
Incidentally, I see you've come
with quite an entourage.

107
00:06:04,739 --> 00:06:07,492
[NANAHOSHI] Indeed.
They assisted me in my research.

108
00:06:08,285 --> 00:06:09,786
In exchange for their work,

109
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:12,080
they requested an audience
with Your Majesty.

110
00:06:12,831 --> 00:06:13,832
[PERUGIUS] Oh?

111
00:06:14,666 --> 00:06:16,793
Permit me to introduce myself.

112
00:06:16,877 --> 00:06:19,629
I'm the second princess
of the Asura Kingdom,

113
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:22,299
Ariel Anemoi Asura.

114
00:06:22,382 --> 00:06:24,884
It's a distinct honor
to make your acquaintance.

115
00:06:24,968 --> 00:06:27,887
Ariel Anemoi Asura?

116
00:06:27,971 --> 00:06:29,931
Yes, Your Majesty.

117
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:31,850
[PERUGIUS] So, Princess,

118
00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:34,853
have you come here hoping
I would lend you my strength?

119
00:06:35,312 --> 00:06:38,481
No. You, sir,
are a world-renowned hero.

120
00:06:38,565 --> 00:06:40,275
I wanted to meet you, is all.

121
00:06:40,358 --> 00:06:42,861
[PERUGIUS] You cannot
hide your motives from me,

122
00:06:42,944 --> 00:06:45,071
Ariel Anemoi Asura.

123
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:50,076
But still, you stand before me.

124
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,953
That, too, is fate.

125
00:06:52,037 --> 00:06:55,040
You may stay in my fortress.

126
00:06:55,123 --> 00:06:56,583
You're too kind.

127
00:06:56,666 --> 00:06:58,043
I'm in your debt.

128
00:06:58,126 --> 00:07:00,462
[PERUGIUS] Now, who are you?

129
00:07:00,545 --> 00:07:02,547
My name is Rudeus Greyrat.

130
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,716
It's my great honor
to meet you, sir.

131
00:07:04,799 --> 00:07:06,926
[PERUGIUS] Rudeus Greyrat.

132
00:07:07,010 --> 00:07:11,222
Teleporting you proved to be
an endeavor most troublesome.

133
00:07:11,306 --> 00:07:14,434
If you had attempted
to resist in earnest,

134
00:07:14,517 --> 00:07:17,103
I doubt I could have
pulled it off at all.

135
00:07:17,854 --> 00:07:20,523
Oh, I'm sorry
to have troubled you.

136
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:21,900
Don't be.

137
00:07:21,983 --> 00:07:25,612
However, your mana signature
reminds me of Laplace.

138
00:07:25,695 --> 00:07:27,989
Your magic disgusts me.

139
00:07:28,073 --> 00:07:31,034
I advise against
using it inside my halls.

140
00:07:31,117 --> 00:07:32,243
[gasps tensely]

141
00:07:36,039 --> 00:07:37,749
Yes, of course, sir.

142
00:07:38,333 --> 00:07:40,001
I would never dare defy you.

143
00:07:40,669 --> 00:07:41,711
[NANAHOSHI] Your Majesty,

144
00:07:41,795 --> 00:07:43,338
Rudeus's talents
have contributed

145
00:07:43,421 --> 00:07:45,048
a great deal to my research.

146
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:47,717
So would you please take
a kinder tone with my colleague?

147
00:07:48,343 --> 00:07:51,680
[scoffs] I suppose
I can show him kindness.

148
00:07:51,763 --> 00:07:53,807
So then, collaborator.

149
00:07:53,890 --> 00:07:55,809
What is it you desire of me?

150
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:57,727
Wealth?

151
00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:58,937
Power?

152
00:07:59,688 --> 00:08:02,399
There is something
I'd ask of you.

153
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:06,111
[PERUGIUS] I see.

154
00:08:06,194 --> 00:08:08,196
Your mother's illness.

155
00:08:08,279 --> 00:08:10,240
I have heard
there are old labyrinths

156
00:08:10,323 --> 00:08:11,866
that take people captive,

157
00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:14,244
make them
the "heart" of the maze.

158
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:17,330
The mana that flows
through them changes them.

159
00:08:17,414 --> 00:08:20,458
They lose all memories
without exception.

160
00:08:20,542 --> 00:08:21,543
And then,

161
00:08:21,918 --> 00:08:24,379
their bodies are imbued
with mystical powers.

162
00:08:24,462 --> 00:08:26,256
[RUDEUS] Powers such as what?

163
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:28,591
[PERUGIUS] I believe
your kind calls such people

164
00:08:28,675 --> 00:08:31,386
"Cursed Children"
or "Blessed Children."

165
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:33,346
None of whom
I have contact with.

166
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:37,350
But I am aware of a woman
who met a similar fate

167
00:08:37,434 --> 00:08:38,810
- as your mother.
- [gasps]

168
00:08:40,729 --> 00:08:43,231
Elinalise Dragonroad.

169
00:08:44,274 --> 00:08:46,234
What say you, elf?

170
00:08:46,317 --> 00:08:48,361
Did my companion not rescue you

171
00:08:48,445 --> 00:08:51,531
from the Bau Labyrinth
some 200 years ago?

172
00:08:52,032 --> 00:08:53,533
- I suppose he did.
- [gasps]

173
00:08:53,616 --> 00:08:55,702
Why have you not told him?

174
00:08:55,785 --> 00:08:57,412
You came here with him,

175
00:08:57,495 --> 00:08:59,873
so I presume
you two are acquainted.

176
00:08:59,956 --> 00:09:01,416
We are, but...

177
00:09:01,916 --> 00:09:03,043
- [hand clasps]
- [gasps]

178
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:06,296
[gasps]

179
00:09:09,924 --> 00:09:11,593
Forgive me, Rudeus.

180
00:09:11,676 --> 00:09:13,553
I couldn't bring myself
to tell you,

181
00:09:14,095 --> 00:09:15,597
though I knew I should have.

182
00:09:16,264 --> 00:09:19,184
When we have the time,
I want to know everything.

183
00:09:21,603 --> 00:09:24,105
[scoffs]
What of the rest of you?

184
00:09:24,189 --> 00:09:27,108
Would you permit me
to ask a question, sir?

185
00:09:27,192 --> 00:09:28,276
[PERUGIUS] And you are?

186
00:09:28,359 --> 00:09:29,694
My apologies.

187
00:09:29,778 --> 00:09:31,905
I am the third prince
of Shirone,

188
00:09:31,988 --> 00:09:34,240
and my name is Zanoba Shirone.

189
00:09:34,324 --> 00:09:35,992
[PERUGIUS]
Do you desire my support

190
00:09:36,076 --> 00:09:37,744
in taking your country's throne?

191
00:09:37,827 --> 00:09:40,455
[ZANOBA] No. Such things
hold no value for me.

192
00:09:40,538 --> 00:09:41,790
You see this?

193
00:09:41,873 --> 00:09:43,917
I wondered
if you recognized this crest,

194
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,460
since it bears
a striking resemblance

195
00:09:45,543 --> 00:09:47,712
to those found
on your outer gate and walls.

196
00:09:47,796 --> 00:09:49,172
I do.

197
00:09:49,631 --> 00:09:51,716
From Kaos, the Mad Dragon King.

198
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,345
Oh! Might I ask where to find
the Mad Dragon King these days?

199
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:57,096
He's dead.

200
00:09:59,224 --> 00:10:00,433
Oh.

201
00:10:00,517 --> 00:10:02,477
So that's how it is, then.

202
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:04,395
Has been for decades,

203
00:10:04,479 --> 00:10:06,856
I know not
if he has a successor.

204
00:10:07,649 --> 00:10:10,401
But tell me,
where did you find that book?

205
00:10:10,485 --> 00:10:13,571
I came across it in Sharia,
the City of Magic.

206
00:10:13,655 --> 00:10:16,699
It was beside a marionette
that moves of its own accord.

207
00:10:16,783 --> 00:10:18,034
Come again?

208
00:10:18,117 --> 00:10:20,453
An autonomous marionette?

209
00:10:20,537 --> 00:10:22,705
Was it of
magnificent craftsmanship?

210
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:24,374
Obviously!

211
00:10:24,457 --> 00:10:25,792
The details
and the craftsmanship

212
00:10:25,875 --> 00:10:27,168
took my breath away!

213
00:10:27,252 --> 00:10:29,087
As an avid appreciator myself,

214
00:10:29,170 --> 00:10:30,547
I could tell
just by looking at it

215
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:32,382
how much
the creator loved their work.

216
00:10:33,216 --> 00:10:34,342
[Perugius chuckles]

217
00:10:34,425 --> 00:10:37,595
I see that you too
are a man of culture.

218
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,641
As such, I have numerous works
by the Mad King himself

219
00:10:41,724 --> 00:10:42,684
in my treasury.

220
00:10:43,059 --> 00:10:44,477
I'd like to show you.

221
00:10:44,561 --> 00:10:45,562
[gasps]

222
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:47,397
I would be most delighted.

223
00:10:48,106 --> 00:10:49,148
There, uh...

224
00:10:49,232 --> 00:10:51,234
There is something
I'd like to ask you.

225
00:10:51,317 --> 00:10:52,986
[PERUGIUS] And you are?

226
00:10:53,069 --> 00:10:55,905
[SYLPHIETTE] Bodyguard to
Second Princess Ariel of Asura.

227
00:10:56,698 --> 00:10:58,783
And wife to Rudeus Greyrat.

228
00:10:58,867 --> 00:11:01,578
My name is Sylphiette Greyrat.

229
00:11:02,203 --> 00:11:04,706
Hmph. Husband and wife both.

230
00:11:04,789 --> 00:11:07,750
Before you ask,
answer a question of mine.

231
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:09,961
Did the two of you have a son?

232
00:11:10,044 --> 00:11:11,254
What? No.

233
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:12,881
We only have a daughter.

234
00:11:12,964 --> 00:11:15,675
If you're lucky enough
to give birth to a son,

235
00:11:15,758 --> 00:11:18,011
do not hesitate
to bring him to me.

236
00:11:18,094 --> 00:11:20,096
I will name him for you.

237
00:11:20,722 --> 00:11:21,806
All right.

238
00:11:21,890 --> 00:11:24,350
[PERUGIUS]
Now, what is your question?

239
00:11:24,434 --> 00:11:27,478
The Displacement Incident
that changed all of our lives.

240
00:11:27,562 --> 00:11:29,188
Who ultimately caused it?

241
00:11:29,272 --> 00:11:31,357
If anyone knows,
surely it would be you.

242
00:11:31,441 --> 00:11:33,192
I am not certain.

243
00:11:33,276 --> 00:11:34,652
Truth is, at first,

244
00:11:34,736 --> 00:11:37,614
I suspected Laplace
or one of his cronies.

245
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:40,116
But not even I am
capable of summoning

246
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,784
someone like Nanahoshi.

247
00:11:41,868 --> 00:11:43,661
And if I'm not able to,

248
00:11:43,745 --> 00:11:46,581
no one in this world
has the power to do so.

249
00:11:47,165 --> 00:11:48,207
[SYLPHIETTE] Which means?

250
00:11:48,291 --> 00:11:50,835
The great calamity
was not man-made.

251
00:11:51,294 --> 00:11:53,254
It happened purely by chance.

252
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,715
I see. All right, then.

253
00:11:56,257 --> 00:11:57,675
Thank you very much.

254
00:11:57,759 --> 00:11:59,677
[PERUGIUS] Anyone else?

255
00:12:01,554 --> 00:12:04,474
No? Then enjoy your stay
in my fortress.

256
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:06,267
It is my pride and joy.

257
00:12:08,353 --> 00:12:09,395
[RUDEUS] For you.

258
00:12:09,479 --> 00:12:10,897
You didn't have to do that.

259
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:11,898
It's fine.

260
00:12:14,651 --> 00:12:16,319
Two hundred years ago,

261
00:12:16,402 --> 00:12:19,072
at the time I'd been rescued
from the Bau Labyrinth,

262
00:12:19,155 --> 00:12:21,366
I'd lost both my memory
and my emotions.

263
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:25,954
I was placed in the care
of a family in an elven village.

264
00:12:26,037 --> 00:12:28,373
They accepted me with open arms,

265
00:12:28,456 --> 00:12:30,541
even though
I was not related to them.

266
00:12:31,084 --> 00:12:34,629
Because of their kindness
and support, I assume,

267
00:12:34,712 --> 00:12:36,047
though I can't be certain,

268
00:12:36,130 --> 00:12:38,424
my emotions returned
after a few years,

269
00:12:38,508 --> 00:12:40,510
and I married a man
from the village.

270
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:43,137
My memories never came back,
but it didn't matter.

271
00:12:43,513 --> 00:12:45,807
At that point, I was happy.

272
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:48,559
That's when it began.

273
00:12:48,643 --> 00:12:51,646
My curse manifested itself
through my body,

274
00:12:51,729 --> 00:12:54,357
and I sought to make love
almost every night.

275
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:57,485
After I became sexually active,

276
00:12:57,568 --> 00:12:58,903
once a month,

277
00:12:58,987 --> 00:13:01,614
my body would birth
a small mana crystal.

278
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:04,492
It was unsettling at first,

279
00:13:04,575 --> 00:13:06,744
but I can't deny
how dependent we became

280
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:08,454
on the money they brought in.

281
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:10,748
Then, one day,

282
00:13:10,832 --> 00:13:13,835
tragedy struck when bandits
murdered my husband,

283
00:13:13,918 --> 00:13:15,420
all so they could
steal the crystals

284
00:13:15,503 --> 00:13:17,213
he was heading
into town to sell.

285
00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:19,549
My world shattered.

286
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:21,718
With my husband's memory
in my heart,

287
00:13:21,801 --> 00:13:23,761
I resolved to live alone.

288
00:13:23,845 --> 00:13:26,514
But my curse wouldn't allow it.

289
00:13:27,056 --> 00:13:29,017
I was unable
to control my urges,

290
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:31,394
and I threw myself
at the village men,

291
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,271
one after another.

292
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:36,441
After cultivating
an image of promiscuity,

293
00:13:36,524 --> 00:13:38,651
the women
of the village threw me out.

294
00:13:39,694 --> 00:13:42,447
A lot has happened
in the last 200 years,

295
00:13:43,072 --> 00:13:45,283
but it all culminated
in becoming the adventurer

296
00:13:45,366 --> 00:13:46,784
you know me as today.

297
00:13:47,744 --> 00:13:51,247
So, now you basically
know the story of my life.

298
00:13:51,331 --> 00:13:52,790
[gasps]

299
00:13:53,416 --> 00:13:55,585
Since then, I've learned
to live with my curse,

300
00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:58,296
and I've enjoyed my time
with various lovers.

301
00:13:58,379 --> 00:13:59,547
Of course,

302
00:13:59,630 --> 00:14:01,466
Cliff is the only one
for me these days.

303
00:14:03,551 --> 00:14:06,095
And after all this time,
you never got your memory back?

304
00:14:06,179 --> 00:14:08,097
Not yet, to this day.

305
00:14:08,806 --> 00:14:10,767
But Zenith and I are different.

306
00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:12,935
Her condition
hasn't been the same, either.

307
00:14:13,436 --> 00:14:16,064
I suppose she's under
a different curse than me.

308
00:14:16,147 --> 00:14:17,482
How can you tell that?

309
00:14:17,565 --> 00:14:18,775
I don't know.

310
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:20,151
A feeling?

311
00:14:20,234 --> 00:14:23,071
I'd say to keep
a close eye on her.

312
00:14:23,154 --> 00:14:24,238
So, in the end,

313
00:14:24,322 --> 00:14:26,240
it's still just a game
of "wait-and-see."

314
00:14:26,324 --> 00:14:27,784
I'm sorry.

315
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:29,869
I should have
told you the truth sooner.

316
00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:31,245
No, please.

317
00:14:31,537 --> 00:14:34,373
I'm sorry for pushing you
into this uncomfortable chat.

318
00:14:34,457 --> 00:14:35,625
More than most,

319
00:14:36,167 --> 00:14:38,252
I know all about wanting
to keep your past to yourself.

320
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:41,380
So, I'm not
going to judge her for that.

321
00:14:49,222 --> 00:14:50,723
[SYLVARIL]
I see you're all here.

322
00:14:50,807 --> 00:14:51,849
Now, then,

323
00:14:52,141 --> 00:14:54,394
please allow me
to begin your first lesson.

324
00:14:55,186 --> 00:14:57,396
[RUDEUS]
I'm no closer to curing Zenith,

325
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,233
but I snagged
an unexpected bonus.

326
00:15:00,817 --> 00:15:03,653
Nanahoshi was getting
summoning lessons from Sylvaril,

327
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:05,613
and she was kind enough
to let us join.

328
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,408
So far, we've only
scratched the surface,

329
00:15:09,492 --> 00:15:11,869
but I'm already
fiending for more.

330
00:15:15,123 --> 00:15:17,708
Well, I think it's time
we took a break then.

331
00:15:17,792 --> 00:15:20,461
Tell me, is there anything
you wish to eat?

332
00:15:20,545 --> 00:15:21,712
[Nanahoshi coughs]

333
00:15:21,796 --> 00:15:22,964
Anything's fine.

334
00:15:23,631 --> 00:15:25,716
Happen to serve
Millisian food here?

335
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,885
Yes. Anything you would like.

336
00:15:27,969 --> 00:15:30,513
Almanfi will fetch
the ingredients we don't have.

337
00:15:30,596 --> 00:15:33,099
[RUDEUS] Should we really be
using an entity like him

338
00:15:33,182 --> 00:15:35,226
- as a light-speed errand boy?
- [coughing]

339
00:15:35,852 --> 00:15:38,104
Hang on,
this could be my chance.

340
00:15:41,441 --> 00:15:42,859
[all gasp]

341
00:15:42,942 --> 00:15:45,486
Are you certain
that this food will suffice?

342
00:15:45,570 --> 00:15:47,280
Yes! This is perfect!

343
00:15:47,363 --> 00:15:50,616
You know, I really crave this
every once in a while.

344
00:15:51,367 --> 00:15:53,202
Yeah, me too.

345
00:15:54,412 --> 00:15:56,664
[RUDEUS] Okay, then.
Put your hands together.

346
00:15:58,082 --> 00:15:59,584
[speaking in Japanese]

347
00:16:00,126 --> 00:16:01,627
[speaking in Japanese]

348
00:16:04,005 --> 00:16:05,131
[RUDEUS]
I had them search this world

349
00:16:05,214 --> 00:16:06,966
for soy sauce on the off chance,

350
00:16:07,049 --> 00:16:09,177
but of course,
that was too much to hope for.

351
00:16:10,219 --> 00:16:12,597
Instead, based on
the description I provided,

352
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,766
they brought me fermented beans
from the Biheril Kingdom.

353
00:16:16,392 --> 00:16:17,685
Although it wasn't perfect,

354
00:16:17,768 --> 00:16:20,396
I got them to make us
Japanese-style lunches.

355
00:16:22,273 --> 00:16:25,526
Well, they didn't even
make dashi for this miso soup.

356
00:16:28,112 --> 00:16:29,030
[gasps]

357
00:16:32,617 --> 00:16:35,161
[RUDEUS]
Honestly, it wasn't great.

358
00:16:35,995 --> 00:16:37,705
The Japanese food we remember?

359
00:16:37,788 --> 00:16:39,499
It was more understated.

360
00:16:40,917 --> 00:16:41,792
Regardless,

361
00:16:42,501 --> 00:16:44,837
we couldn't help
but shovel it all down.

362
00:16:49,091 --> 00:16:51,010
[speaking in Japanese]

363
00:16:57,850 --> 00:16:59,185
[RUDEUS] Anyway,

364
00:16:59,268 --> 00:17:01,062
this fortress
is downright massive.

365
00:17:01,145 --> 00:17:02,855
I keep getting blown away

366
00:17:02,939 --> 00:17:05,149
thinking about the fact
that such a huge structure

367
00:17:05,233 --> 00:17:06,609
manages to stay airborne.

368
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:07,735
[gasps]

369
00:17:09,487 --> 00:17:10,571
Looks deep.

370
00:17:11,447 --> 00:17:13,115
- [RUDEUS] Exploring?
- [BOTH] Hmm?

371
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:14,450
Not just yet.

372
00:17:15,076 --> 00:17:16,953
We're curious
about where this may lead.

373
00:17:17,578 --> 00:17:19,247
[RUDEUS]
Wow, it does look interesting.

374
00:17:19,997 --> 00:17:21,040
Mind if I join?

375
00:17:21,541 --> 00:17:23,125
We'd welcome you, of course.

376
00:17:23,209 --> 00:17:25,503
But we're wondering
if we need permission first.

377
00:17:25,586 --> 00:17:28,130
Actually,
that is a very good question.

378
00:17:28,214 --> 00:17:29,674
It's no big deal.

379
00:17:29,757 --> 00:17:31,509
Have you been down there before?

380
00:17:31,592 --> 00:17:32,760
Of course.

381
00:17:33,135 --> 00:17:35,179
Just know that most of the rooms
down there are locked.

382
00:17:35,263 --> 00:17:37,807
But there's still
interesting stuff to see.

383
00:17:41,602 --> 00:17:43,312
[RUDEUS] Wow, cool door.

384
00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:44,438
Is this one locked?

385
00:17:44,772 --> 00:17:46,774
[NANAHOSHI] No,
you haven't seen anything yet.

386
00:17:48,317 --> 00:17:50,403
- [all gasp excitedly]
- I know it may be childish,

387
00:17:50,486 --> 00:17:51,946
but I am positively giddy.

388
00:17:52,029 --> 00:17:53,990
- Yeah, me too.
- [RUDEUS] Me three!

389
00:17:54,615 --> 00:17:56,575
I knew boys like you
would enjoy this.

390
00:17:58,494 --> 00:18:00,413
[rats squeaking]

391
00:18:06,127 --> 00:18:07,044
[Rudeus gasps]

392
00:18:07,128 --> 00:18:09,255
[gasps] What have we here?

393
00:18:09,338 --> 00:18:10,589
It's magnificent!

394
00:18:10,673 --> 00:18:12,008
[RUDEUS] Murals, huh?

395
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:13,676
They look awfully old to me.

396
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,389
I feel like I've seen
this story somewhere before.

397
00:18:18,472 --> 00:18:19,849
[CLIFF] So do I.

398
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:21,601
But I can't remember where.

399
00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:23,686
[ZANOBA] Huh.

400
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:25,354
- [PERUGIUS] What are you doing?
- [gasps]

401
00:18:26,981 --> 00:18:28,691
Why, Your Majesty.

402
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:31,986
Enough. Get up.

403
00:18:32,069 --> 00:18:35,197
Your flying fortress certainly
lives up to its reputation!

404
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:38,451
Even in places like this, I find
things to rouse the senses!

405
00:18:39,076 --> 00:18:40,745
I'm sorry if we offended you.

406
00:18:40,828 --> 00:18:43,622
But it would seem our curiosity
got the better of us.

407
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,207
I don't mind.

408
00:18:45,791 --> 00:18:47,209
As for these murals,

409
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:49,712
I wasn't the one
who commissioned them.

410
00:18:50,671 --> 00:18:52,673
[ZANOBA]
Would you care to elaborate?

411
00:18:52,757 --> 00:18:55,509
[PERUGIUS] When I first
obtained my flying fortress,

412
00:18:55,593 --> 00:18:57,845
there was almost
nothing left inside it.

413
00:18:59,013 --> 00:19:02,058
By some grace,
this mural was left intact,

414
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:03,559
just as you see it now.

415
00:19:03,642 --> 00:19:06,812
Everything around it
had since crumbled to dust,

416
00:19:06,896 --> 00:19:08,648
but it alone endured.

417
00:19:09,357 --> 00:19:13,277
On this wall, I recognized
the will of my predecessors.

418
00:19:13,361 --> 00:19:16,655
The story they wanted
their descendants to inherit.

419
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:19,408
My, how profoundly inspiring.

420
00:19:19,492 --> 00:19:21,994
As much as I would like
to agree with you,

421
00:19:22,078 --> 00:19:24,038
I don't care for them one bit.

422
00:19:24,121 --> 00:19:27,375
Something about them
strikes me as suffocating,

423
00:19:27,458 --> 00:19:29,794
cheerless, and nauseating.

424
00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:32,046
Well, in that case, I would say

425
00:19:32,129 --> 00:19:34,048
it's in our best interest
not to linger, then.

426
00:19:34,131 --> 00:19:35,591
Hmm.

427
00:19:36,217 --> 00:19:39,261
Almanfi,
guide them to the surface.

428
00:19:39,345 --> 00:19:40,304
[ALMANFI] Sir.

429
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:53,692
The princess,
how did her meeting go?

430
00:19:53,776 --> 00:19:56,654
Well, not as good
as she had hoped.

431
00:19:56,737 --> 00:19:58,781
As a token of friendship,

432
00:19:58,864 --> 00:20:02,118
she offered noble titles
and lands to King Perugius.

433
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:03,452
He declined them.

434
00:20:03,536 --> 00:20:04,537
So...

435
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:05,871
He's a hero.

436
00:20:06,247 --> 00:20:08,624
I'd have to assume that trying
to bribe him would backfire.

437
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:10,042
Yeah, I think it did.

438
00:20:10,668 --> 00:20:12,253
What would you do, Rudy?

439
00:20:12,336 --> 00:20:15,005
I guess I'd start
by getting to know him.

440
00:20:15,089 --> 00:20:18,217
Ask some questions
about his exploits and stuff.

441
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:20,386
Then, when we become friends,

442
00:20:20,469 --> 00:20:22,221
he may be
more willing to help me.

443
00:20:22,847 --> 00:20:25,224
When you put it that way,
it makes sense.

444
00:20:25,307 --> 00:20:28,310
Thank you. I'll pass that along
to Her Majesty.

445
00:20:28,394 --> 00:20:30,187
How are things going with you?

446
00:20:30,271 --> 00:20:32,314
Eh, so-so, I guess.

447
00:20:32,815 --> 00:20:35,609
I studied summoning
with Nanahoshi and the guys.

448
00:20:35,693 --> 00:20:37,403
Oh, and for lunch,
we even got them

449
00:20:37,486 --> 00:20:39,905
to recreate food
from Nanahoshi's homeland.

450
00:20:39,989 --> 00:20:42,116
It came out awful,
but we still ate--

451
00:20:42,199 --> 00:20:44,702
[SYLPHIETTE] You seem
awfully friendly with Nanahoshi.

452
00:20:46,370 --> 00:20:47,913
[gasps] No way!

453
00:20:47,997 --> 00:20:50,458
I'm not romantically interested
in her or anything, I swear!

454
00:20:50,541 --> 00:20:51,959
Please believe me!

455
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,087
[giggles] Just kidding.

456
00:20:55,171 --> 00:20:57,214
I felt like
teasing you a little bit.

457
00:20:57,298 --> 00:20:58,883
Oh, okay.

458
00:20:58,966 --> 00:21:00,259
Note to self,

459
00:21:00,342 --> 00:21:02,636
don't bring up Nanahoshi
with Sylphie.

460
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,221
- [knock on door]
- [gasps]

461
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:06,015
Coming.

462
00:21:06,765 --> 00:21:08,726
Uh, Nanahoshi.

463
00:21:08,809 --> 00:21:09,810
[coughs]

464
00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:13,772
I'm sorry.
Am I interrupting something?

465
00:21:13,856 --> 00:21:15,983
No you aren't, but how are you--

466
00:21:16,066 --> 00:21:17,693
[RUDEUS] Yeah,
are you all right?

467
00:21:17,776 --> 00:21:20,070
I was hoping you'd cast
a detox spell.

468
00:21:20,154 --> 00:21:21,405
Yes. I'll do it.

469
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:22,656
Thanks, Sylphie.

470
00:21:22,740 --> 00:21:24,617
But if my magic's not effective,

471
00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:27,495
you may want to ask Cliff
for his advanced magic.

472
00:21:27,578 --> 00:21:29,330
[coughing]

473
00:21:29,413 --> 00:21:31,749
Hold on. Something
doesn't feel right about you.

474
00:21:31,832 --> 00:21:34,001
The mana's kind of...

475
00:21:34,084 --> 00:21:35,336
[coughing]

476
00:21:35,419 --> 00:21:37,713
- Hmm.

478
00:21:41,008 --> 00:21:42,718
[SYLPHIETTE] Nanahoshi?

479
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:44,345
Hey, are you--

[Nanahoshi gasps, vomits]

482
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:53,979
No, that's not...

483
00:21:55,105 --> 00:21:56,690
- Sorry, if--
- [gasps]

484
00:21:57,816 --> 00:21:59,193
- [Sylphiette gasps]
- [RUDEUS] Nanahoshi!

485
00:21:59,276 --> 00:22:01,278
Hey! Nanahoshi!
