1
00:00:09,460 --> 00:00:12,120
Teoritta. We did it.

2
00:00:12,610 --> 00:00:15,450
Yes, a truly inevitable result.

3
00:00:15,450 --> 00:00:19,230
I permit you to pat my head
 and sing my praises.

4
00:00:20,490 --> 00:00:24,830
"You truly are a goddess. 
Well done, Teoritta."

5
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,790
Well done, Teoritta.

6
00:00:29,690 --> 00:00:31,970
You're a really great goddess.

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,340
Maybe everyone's like that.

8
00:00:36,390 --> 00:00:40,910
You do a job well, you 
want a little praise.

9
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,490
Some people might even think
 it's worth risking their life for.

10
00:01:08,430 --> 00:01:09,820
Help...

11
00:01:10,940 --> 00:01:12,830
Help me.

12
00:01:12,830 --> 00:01:15,890
It's my dad. A monster got him...

13
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,130
Someone else to protect.

14
00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:20,020
Teoritta, you wait—

15
00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:21,940
Small one.

16
00:01:21,940 --> 00:01:23,100
Hey!

17
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:24,600
Fear not.

18
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:30,740
The goddess, Teoritta, and her knight,
Xylo Forbartz, guarantee your safety.

19
00:01:30,740 --> 00:01:33,770
We must make haste 
in getting your father to aid.

20
00:01:33,770 --> 00:01:35,790
May I ask your name?

21
00:01:35,790 --> 00:01:38,400
I-I'm...

22
00:01:39,490 --> 00:01:41,150
Are you all right?

23
00:01:45,630 --> 00:01:46,580
Teoritta!

24
00:01:50,030 --> 00:01:51,170
Die.

25
00:01:59,230 --> 00:02:02,310
Aw, nuts. Did I just shoot a kid?

26
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:03,560
Wait, huh?

27
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,890
That's super weird, man.

28
00:02:05,890 --> 00:02:08,920
Tsav! Did you just shoot a {\i1}civilian{\i0}?

29
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:13,170
But it looked like she was attackin'
 Teoritta. It's weird, man.

30
00:02:13,170 --> 00:02:14,480
Stop saying that!

31
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,960
I will not allow...

32
00:02:26,370 --> 00:02:27,920
It got away.

33
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:29,140
Teoritta!

34
00:02:29,780 --> 00:02:31,110
Are you hurt?

35
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:33,310
I told you to take it easy.

36
00:02:33,310 --> 00:02:34,490
Xylo.

37
00:02:35,930 --> 00:02:41,460
It appears I must learn how to use this.

38
00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:45,880
That's how you blocked it?

39
00:02:46,890 --> 00:02:49,400
I'll have to buy you a better one.

40
00:02:49,940 --> 00:02:51,580
And train you to use it.

41
00:02:52,430 --> 00:02:56,220
Still, a faerie disguised as a human?

42
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,610
That might've been Spriggan.

43
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:07,130
I guess the Demon Blight 
sees you as a threat.

44
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:09,460
I could want for nothing more.

45
00:03:15,660 --> 00:03:19,440
You goddesses are always so demanding.

46
00:03:20,090 --> 00:03:24,190
Let's go home to that collection 
of good-for-nothing bastards.

47
00:03:24,190 --> 00:03:27,800
Yes, that is where we belong.

48
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,660
But first...

49
00:03:30,260 --> 00:03:32,140
You know what to do, yes?

50
00:03:36,690 --> 00:03:42,020
With great gusto and {\i1}utmost{\i0} thoroughness,

51
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,430
shower me with praise!

52
00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:51,650
About 130 evacuees made it
 to our stronghold.

53
00:03:51,650 --> 00:03:53,220
No fatalities.

54
00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:56,220
Our Thirteenth Order 
did a great job, huh?

55
00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:58,970
Captain Kivia's really whipped us
 all into shape.

56
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,570
But I haven't seen her 
or the infantry lieutenant anywhere.

57
00:04:04,220 --> 00:04:07,520
Maybe they're letting us 
bask in the spotlight for once.

58
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,570
After all, the captain and Rajit
usually lead the charge.

59
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,820
You fought well, all of you.

60
00:04:16,820 --> 00:04:20,490
Let the military and the Temple
continue to work together,

61
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,260
Sorry for the wait.

62
00:04:20,490 --> 00:04:22,670
in the interests of 
this city's prosperity.

63
00:04:22,260 --> 00:04:25,130
What did you learn, Frenci?

64
00:04:23,860 --> 00:04:28,130
Now, all units, return to your posts
 and aid with the evacuation.

65
00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:30,540
Your suspicions were correct.

66
00:04:52,630 --> 00:04:57,040
Need to repair my injuries...

67
00:04:58,780 --> 00:05:03,310
Find a new host...

68
00:05:06,530 --> 00:05:10,360
Oh, there you are.

69
00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:17,280
I was hoping to run into you, Spriggan.

70
00:05:19,490 --> 00:05:22,200
What's this? You didn't know?

71
00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:26,880
When a Demon Blight is infecting an area,
 it puts out a unique kind of...

72
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,130
Uh, what do you call it? A wave.

73
00:05:30,130 --> 00:05:32,750
Other demon lords can sense it.

74
00:05:32,750 --> 00:05:35,730
That's how I tracked you down.

75
00:05:35,730 --> 00:05:37,360
Who are—

76
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,640
I need you to hear me out here, Spriggan.

77
00:05:40,190 --> 00:05:43,440
I'm a member of 
the penal hero unit, you see,

78
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:49,560
but my crime was the most shallow, simple,

79
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,700
and basic of everyone there.

80
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:57,230
What do you think it was?

81
00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:07,860
Well, you see...

82
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,100
I kill my own kind.

83
00:06:11,810 --> 00:06:15,390
I take pleasure in it. 
It's just how I am.

84
00:06:16,810 --> 00:06:18,700
Aren't humans incredible?

85
00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:24,320
That trait is so common among their kind,
 they consider it a rather boring motive.

86
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,350
Stay back! Stay back! Stay back!

87
00:06:26,030 --> 00:06:28,850
It's an amazing thing, being boring.

88
00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:31,710
Stay back! Stay back! 
Stay back! Stay back!

89
00:06:28,850 --> 00:06:31,400
So I've completely submitted to them.

90
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,670
I'll pretty much do 
anything they tell me.

91
00:06:34,670 --> 00:06:37,570
I'm also learning about ethics, you see.

92
00:06:37,570 --> 00:06:43,720
I see now that from the Demon Blight's 
perspective, I'm just a homicidal maniac.

93
00:06:44,190 --> 00:06:50,540
The most hackneyed cliché of a murderer, 
killing his own kind for kicks.

94
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,660
No! Let go!

95
00:06:50,540 --> 00:06:54,800
Let go of me! Let go!

96
00:06:50,540 --> 00:06:54,780
But to humans, that makes me
 a champion for good.

97
00:06:54,780 --> 00:06:56,230
Now, why {\i1}is{\i0} that?

98
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,480
I'm still trying to grasp 
the logic behind it.

99
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,550
Let me go!

100
00:07:00,970 --> 00:07:04,770
Yes, that's it. Those cries of yours...

101
00:07:04,770 --> 00:07:07,290
I love them.

102
00:07:07,290 --> 00:07:09,160
They give me such a thrill.

103
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,290
They make me want 
to take my time killing you.

104
00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:17,810
Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.

105
00:07:19,770 --> 00:07:23,480
I am the Demon Blight, Puck Puca.

106
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,680
But humans use the name of 
the original owner of this body...

107
00:07:27,940 --> 00:07:29,920
They call me Rhyno.

108
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:36,350
Anyway, pleasant dreams, Spriggan.

109
00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:49,830
I can't carry out my orders now.

110
00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:54,070
I guess I'll be disappointing
our king once more.

111
00:07:56,630 --> 00:08:01,550
Yes, I had a blood puppet take my place.

112
00:08:02,340 --> 00:08:06,030
That Holy Sword is far too dangerous.

113
00:08:06,030 --> 00:08:11,470
I'll need much more 
human blood to kill them.

114
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,920
I heard about your incredible deeds.

115
00:08:19,310 --> 00:08:21,970
Well done. I'm truly impressed.

116
00:08:22,390 --> 00:08:24,170
Thank you for your praise.

117
00:08:24,930 --> 00:08:30,820
I heard about your excellent
 leadership as well.

118
00:08:30,820 --> 00:08:33,160
I was fortunate.

119
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,230
Perhaps I had the blessing 
of the saints of old.

120
00:08:37,030 --> 00:08:40,740
Your achievements here will likely 
earn you a position of leadership

121
00:08:40,740 --> 00:08:42,330
among the High Priests.

122
00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:45,530
If they were to bestow
such an honor on me,

123
00:08:45,530 --> 00:08:47,950
my first priority would be
 a personnel overhaul.

124
00:08:47,950 --> 00:08:51,350
We must have more unity.

125
00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:56,890
When that happens, Patausche, 
I will also need to elevate your position.

126
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,680
A personnel overhaul?

127
00:09:06,450 --> 00:09:07,430
You mean...

128
00:09:07,990 --> 00:09:13,190
You'll fill the Temple's leadership
 with coexisters?

129
00:09:22,530 --> 00:09:25,520
Did you interrogate Lideo Sodrick?

130
00:09:26,740 --> 00:09:30,100
The coexister envoy he spoke with...

131
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:32,090
"Mahaeyzel Zelkoff."

132
00:09:32,550 --> 00:09:37,950
All priests and Temple officials invoke 
his name when praying for luck in battle.

133
00:09:37,950 --> 00:09:39,250
How is that significant?

134
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,150
In the inner lands and elsewhere, 
they pronounce the name "Zelkoof."

135
00:09:44,580 --> 00:09:48,220
"Zelkoff" is only used 
by those born in the north.

136
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,570
Someone with the financial means 
to hire the Adventurers Guild.

137
00:09:54,570 --> 00:09:57,310
Someone born in the north 
and involved with the Temple.

138
00:09:58,010 --> 00:10:00,670
It certainly narrows down the suspects.

139
00:10:01,670 --> 00:10:02,850
Uncle.

140
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,000
When I was young and knew nothing
 of the outside world,

141
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,260
you took me out into it
 whenever you could.

142
00:10:12,020 --> 00:10:17,800
When I wanted to take a different path 
from my parents, to live my own life...

143
00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:21,710
You gave me what I needed to do that.

144
00:10:22,510 --> 00:10:24,420
Including this sword.

145
00:10:28,550 --> 00:10:34,550
When you took me out into the city,
 the alias you always used...

146
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:36,070
was "Zelkoff."

147
00:10:37,490 --> 00:10:39,000
You still remember that?

148
00:10:39,450 --> 00:10:41,800
How could I ever forget?

149
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,850
Of course, I checked 
the records of your activities as well.

150
00:10:45,850 --> 00:10:48,170
And in the battle just now,

151
00:10:48,170 --> 00:10:51,950
the unit that discovered the faeries
 in the Inland District...

152
00:10:52,980 --> 00:10:58,010
You said it was Unit 7110.

153
00:10:58,970 --> 00:11:01,760
No such unit exists.

154
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,120
Very impressive.

155
00:11:12,210 --> 00:11:16,400
Uncle. Why are you working 
with the coexisters?

156
00:11:18,270 --> 00:11:20,980
For the people who matter to me.

157
00:11:21,580 --> 00:11:23,960
Stay where you are, Uncle!

158
00:11:25,540 --> 00:11:28,390
Myself. My family.

159
00:11:28,390 --> 00:11:29,430
Uncle!

160
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,100
And the pious believers of the Temple.

161
00:11:35,510 --> 00:11:38,100
I want to save them all.

162
00:11:40,540 --> 00:11:41,890
Patausche.

163
00:11:44,180 --> 00:11:46,800
Humanity is going to lose.

164
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,510
I want, at least, the righteous at heart

165
00:11:51,510 --> 00:11:55,650
and the family that I love to be safe.

166
00:11:57,340 --> 00:12:01,750
But then, everyone else in the world—

167
00:12:01,750 --> 00:12:03,610
They are none of my concern.

168
00:12:04,980 --> 00:12:08,260
Everyone's the same way, Patausche.

169
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,950
Or do you wish to be 
the kind of righteous paragon

170
00:12:12,950 --> 00:12:15,790
who saves complete strangers
at the cost of her own family?

171
00:12:15,790 --> 00:12:17,760
Uncle. I was merely—

172
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:23,060
You are still a child 
in some ways. Immature.

173
00:12:24,290 --> 00:12:26,980
You must grow up, Patausche.

174
00:12:27,470 --> 00:12:31,580
Cherish your family 
and those close to you.

175
00:12:32,570 --> 00:12:36,710
I'd like you to become a coexister,

176
00:12:36,710 --> 00:12:40,090
and shape the world to come.

177
00:12:40,770 --> 00:12:42,310
I-I...

178
00:12:42,310 --> 00:12:45,270
Humanity will lose to the Demon Blight.

179
00:12:45,810 --> 00:12:51,230
We must be among those survivors 
granted positions of authority.

180
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,920
We must guide the survivors 
to the righteous—

181
00:12:55,450 --> 00:12:56,660
Stop talking!

182
00:13:00,910 --> 00:13:04,080
I'm sorry, Uncle.

183
00:13:08,070 --> 00:13:10,800
I... I truly...

184
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,560
I truly looked up to you.

185
00:13:19,270 --> 00:13:20,940
Are you crying?

186
00:13:22,740 --> 00:13:27,230
Even if they have nothing
 to do with me...

187
00:13:28,030 --> 00:13:30,820
Strangers with names 
and faces I'll never know...

188
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,650
It's wrong to simply abandon them.

189
00:13:35,650 --> 00:13:41,610
Patausche. That's an abnormal, 
self-righteous way of thinking.

190
00:13:42,370 --> 00:13:46,260
A savior complex stemming 
from an oversized ego.

191
00:13:46,690 --> 00:13:50,010
Although perhaps it was I 
who raised you that way—

192
00:13:50,010 --> 00:13:50,880
Shut up!

193
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,740
Rajit, arrest him!

194
00:13:52,740 --> 00:13:53,500
Ma'am.

195
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,340
You have to atone—

196
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,820
Captain—

197
00:14:32,270 --> 00:14:35,600
I'm sorry, Patausche.

198
00:14:36,220 --> 00:14:41,370
I truly thought of you as a daughter.

199
00:15:10,860 --> 00:15:12,710
Hurry! This way!

200
00:15:11,550 --> 00:15:12,710
What's going on?

201
00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:13,760
High Priest Marlen!

202
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,950
Rhyno's still not back yet?

203
00:15:41,350 --> 00:15:43,450
Kivia's gonna hit the roof
 if she finds out.

204
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,480
Venetim. You gotta put that guy
 on a chain already.

205
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,120
You're the last person 
who should be saying that, Jayce.

206
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,090
Ah, what's wrong with 
just lettin' him do his thing?

207
00:15:56,820 --> 00:16:01,630
Maybe he's off lootin' the wreckage, 
or he's found a faerie to mess with.

208
00:16:01,630 --> 00:16:06,260
I've seen that guy bring back 
whole faeries alive.

209
00:16:06,260 --> 00:16:08,090
Right, Mr. Dotta?

210
00:16:08,090 --> 00:16:11,540
Yeah. "To study," he says.

211
00:16:12,670 --> 00:16:14,030
Hey!

212
00:16:14,030 --> 00:16:17,390
Bro, leave some of that for me!

213
00:16:17,390 --> 00:16:18,660
You colossal fool!

214
00:16:18,660 --> 00:16:21,850
You dare to demand a reward? 
You did the least of anyone!

215
00:16:21,850 --> 00:16:24,880
Tsav! You and Rhyno 
have much to atone for!

216
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,970
Aw, c'mon! I saved Teoritta, man!

217
00:16:28,970 --> 00:16:32,220
Who gives a damn? Let's move on already.

218
00:16:35,350 --> 00:16:36,520
Xylo.

219
00:16:38,830 --> 00:16:40,130
Frenci?

220
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,970
You're in an awful state. 
What are you sitting around here for?

221
00:16:44,970 --> 00:16:47,830
Sorry, but business 
is closed for the day.

222
00:16:47,830 --> 00:16:49,910
If you're not gonna drink it, gimme.

223
00:16:50,860 --> 00:16:53,650
I'm in no mood to take your abuse, either.

224
00:16:54,190 --> 00:16:58,240
Pathetic. And you expect to marry
 into the Mastibolt Clan?

225
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,180
You're worse than a hot springs monkey
 during hibernation.

226
00:17:01,180 --> 00:17:03,250
Can't a guy get a little rest?

227
00:17:03,250 --> 00:17:05,030
The battle's over here.

228
00:17:05,030 --> 00:17:06,230
True.

229
00:17:06,230 --> 00:17:10,170
But the attack on this city
 was a diversion.

230
00:17:14,050 --> 00:17:15,800
You mean...

231
00:17:16,060 --> 00:17:18,330
Demon Blight Abaddon.

232
00:17:18,330 --> 00:17:23,730
They breached the Ninth Order's defenses
 and attacked the Second Capital.

233
00:17:25,950 --> 00:17:32,490
My beautiful capital city? 
Attacked by the faeries?

234
00:17:33,450 --> 00:17:37,700
They got wind of our plans 
and outmaneuvered us.

235
00:17:38,180 --> 00:17:39,510
You mean...

236
00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:40,300
Yes.

237
00:17:41,190 --> 00:17:44,350
The Second Capital has fallen.

238
00:17:47,250 --> 00:17:52,000
The Second Capital, Zeyllent, is the symbol
of the Federated Kingdom,

239
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,110
and a crucial point 
for the nation's defense.

240
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:08,390
It's like putting a blade to the throat of
the First Capital and Galtuile Fortress.

241
00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:14,740
I hear she killed someone in her family.

242
00:18:14,740 --> 00:18:16,300
Some Temple bigwig, right?

243
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:18,190
Excuse me. Could you make way—

244
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:21,620
Why did you kill High Priest Marlen?!

245
00:18:21,620 --> 00:18:23,320
You're the one who should die!

246
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,320
Make way!

247
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:24,820
Heretic!

248
00:18:24,820 --> 00:18:26,020
Execute her!

249
00:18:26,430 --> 00:18:28,470
Come on. Move it!

250
00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:29,680
Captain...

251
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:30,840
It can't be...

252
00:18:41,220 --> 00:18:45,180
Captain of the Thirteenth Order 
of the Holy Knights, Patausche Kivia.

253
00:18:45,180 --> 00:18:50,840
Why did you kill High Priest Marlen Kivia 
and Infantry Lieutenant Rajit Heathrow?

254
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,800
You're just going to keep asking
 that same question?

255
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,150
My uncle was a coexister—

256
00:18:55,150 --> 00:18:56,250
Wrong.

257
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,630
You feared High Priest Marlen's 
popularity and skill.

258
00:19:01,630 --> 00:19:05,320
So you betrayed humanity 
and killed your uncle and your lieutenant.

259
00:19:06,190 --> 00:19:12,090
If you confess to these known facts, 
you can be out of here immediately.

260
00:19:12,620 --> 00:19:14,780
What about my people?

261
00:19:18,030 --> 00:19:21,950
The hero unit. Xylo Forbartz.
What are they doing?

262
00:19:24,170 --> 00:19:26,510
Why won't you hold a trial?!

263
00:19:26,510 --> 00:19:28,680
Let me speak before a court!

264
00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:34,640
I'll let you think it over again.

265
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,920
Take as much time as you need.

266
00:19:59,210 --> 00:20:01,500
Forgive my late arrival.

267
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:04,500
The discussion took some time.

268
00:20:06,140 --> 00:20:10,820
It wasn't an easy decision.
We weren't sure if we could add one more.

269
00:20:21,710 --> 00:20:23,730
Patausche Kivia.

270
00:20:23,730 --> 00:20:27,150
Former Captain of the Thirteenth Order
 of the Holy Knights.

271
00:20:27,580 --> 00:20:30,530
Your abilities on the battlefield
 are quite superb,

272
00:20:30,530 --> 00:20:33,800
but it was your mental fortitude 
that caught us by surprise.

273
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,790
You killed a blood relation 
to whom you were deeply indebted.

274
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,410
To mercilessly slay 
someone you deeply respect

275
00:20:40,410 --> 00:20:44,930
for strangers whose faces 
you'll never know...

276
00:20:45,310 --> 00:20:49,220
It was an action that transcended 
any concept of self-interest.

277
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,710
You have the unbridled 
conviction of a savior.

278
00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:56,370
Or perhaps, more appropriately, 
the delusion.

279
00:20:58,020 --> 00:21:00,520
How do you know all that?

280
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,640
My goddess summons books.

281
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,280
She summons information, 
you might say.

282
00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:14,240
Yes, I know, Enfié.

283
00:21:15,150 --> 00:21:16,520
Thank you.

284
00:21:17,390 --> 00:21:21,430
Are you a Holy Knight?

285
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:27,770
Yes, of the Twelfth Order.

286
00:21:27,770 --> 00:21:32,380
Which means we were once associates.

287
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,330
I'm here to offer you a choice.

288
00:21:38,330 --> 00:21:40,060
You have two paths.

289
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:45,540
First: be executed as a member
 of the coexisters.

290
00:21:46,420 --> 00:21:52,570
Second: become a penal hero, 
and continue fighting the Demon Blight.

291
00:21:55,850 --> 00:22:00,720
Heroes are revived even after death, 
and have no freedom of their own.

292
00:22:01,270 --> 00:22:03,060
They receive no glory.

293
00:22:03,060 --> 00:22:06,880
They simply devote themselves 
to the service of others.

294
00:22:07,170 --> 00:22:09,620
I don't think I'd agree to it myself.

295
00:22:09,620 --> 00:22:13,250
I don't personally believe 
you're cut out for it, either.

296
00:22:13,710 --> 00:22:18,440
What are heroes? 
What is the hero penalty?

297
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,070
I'll tell you as much as I can.

298
00:22:25,070 --> 00:22:28,390
I'm sure you've heard 
rumors about this,

299
00:22:28,390 --> 00:22:33,510
but the first goddess has the power 
to summon fighting champions.

300
00:22:34,470 --> 00:22:36,950
Long ago, when the war first began,

301
00:22:36,950 --> 00:22:40,340
she summoned champions 
from other worlds.

302
00:22:40,870 --> 00:22:44,460
But I'm told the cultural differences 
created issues of understanding.

303
00:22:47,030 --> 00:22:50,700
And so the people of old 
changed their tactics.

304
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:57,310
They summoned the dead of {\i1}this{\i0} world
 as their champions.

305
00:22:59,570 --> 00:23:02,090
They summoned the dead?

306
00:23:03,460 --> 00:23:04,940
The resurrection...

307
00:23:04,940 --> 00:23:06,810
Indeed.

308
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,590
They stand on the front lines of the battle
 with the Demon Blight,

309
00:23:12,590 --> 00:23:16,610
denied even death 
in this perpetual fight.

310
00:23:18,110 --> 00:23:20,090
That's what heroes are?

311
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,210
The hero penalty...

312
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:25,680
Indeed.

313
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,490
As for why we treat it 
like a criminal sentence now...

314
00:23:29,490 --> 00:23:33,230
Well, there are also reasons for that.

315
00:23:33,230 --> 00:23:38,230
Additionally, the first goddess's 
powers are not perfect.

316
00:23:38,230 --> 00:23:44,520
I believe you know what happens 
after too many resurrections.

317
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,970
They lose parts of their memories.

318
00:23:50,590 --> 00:23:53,730
Their sense of self is worn away.

319
00:23:54,430 --> 00:23:59,360
It appears humans have something 
that could be called a soul, you see.

320
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:03,650
How clearly she can remember the target

321
00:24:04,250 --> 00:24:09,540
affects the precision of the summoning.
 Of the resurrection.

322
00:24:09,820 --> 00:24:13,800
Enfié's records can supplement 
things, of course.

323
00:24:14,110 --> 00:24:18,480
But the first goddess expends 
all of her energy every day

324
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,450
remembering the memories of the heroes.

325
00:24:23,050 --> 00:24:28,020
I'd say she has space for just 
one more person's memories.

326
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:36,100
The trump card the heroes represent...
 is worth all of that?

327
00:24:38,370 --> 00:24:40,100
Ah, well...

328
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,000
I certainly hope it can be.

329
00:24:45,750 --> 00:24:48,420
That's all of the secrets I can tell you.

330
00:24:48,910 --> 00:24:52,890
I'll leave their sacred seal collar 
and "repairs" for another day.

331
00:24:54,900 --> 00:25:00,460
Now, it's time to make your choice,
 Patausche Kivia.

332
00:25:08,260 --> 00:25:14,360
If I agree to be a hero,
you'll get me out of here?

333
00:25:14,950 --> 00:25:19,570
Yes. But you'll need to die first.

334
00:25:19,570 --> 00:25:22,660
I'll carry you out of here in pieces.

335
00:25:23,060 --> 00:25:25,870
I cannot compromise on this point.

336
00:25:25,870 --> 00:25:28,410
Put your faith in the goddess and die,

337
00:25:28,410 --> 00:25:30,830
or refuse to do so and die.

338
00:25:30,830 --> 00:25:33,590
Those are your only options.

339
00:25:37,690 --> 00:25:43,870
I was born into a family of priests,
 and left them behind.

340
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,030
My uncle was one of the few
 who understood me.

341
00:25:49,540 --> 00:25:51,550
And I killed him with my own hands.

342
00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:57,730
Lying here in the dark, 
I've thought it over many times.

343
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:03,980
What do my knights... What does 
the hero unit think of my crime?

344
00:26:05,830 --> 00:26:09,290
I hope they think 
it was just a fit of madness.

345
00:26:09,730 --> 00:26:13,170
But if they hate me for what I've done...

346
00:26:14,490 --> 00:26:20,270
If they think I'm a coexister 
who betrayed humanity...

347
00:26:24,260 --> 00:26:25,730
If my knights...

348
00:26:27,270 --> 00:26:30,160
If {\i1}he{\i0} were to think that of me...

349
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:36,700
It's unbearable.

350
00:26:43,900 --> 00:26:45,370
If this...

351
00:26:46,910 --> 00:26:50,940
If this will allow me to fight again...

352
00:26:52,050 --> 00:26:57,220
Then, for the sake of strangers
 I'll never meet,

353
00:26:57,220 --> 00:26:58,930
I swear I will fight.

354
00:27:00,630 --> 00:27:02,310
I will be a hero.

355
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:14,830
Very well.

356
00:27:15,310 --> 00:27:17,820
This can't be taken back.

357
00:27:17,820 --> 00:27:19,660
I really don't recommend it, either.

358
00:27:20,220 --> 00:27:23,220
I'll see to it that this is kept secret.

359
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:29,680
On a personal level, 
I'm still opposed to making you a hero.

360
00:27:31,490 --> 00:27:33,010
But...

361
00:27:33,910 --> 00:27:37,250
I do respect your oath.

362
00:27:38,390 --> 00:27:41,020
Now, take it.

363
00:27:59,260 --> 00:28:05,340
For the lives of the many, 
I shall observe your moment of decision.

364
00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:13,690
Patausche Kivia. I sentence you...

365
00:28:14,330 --> 00:28:15,570
to be a hero.

366
00:29:22,690 --> 00:29:29,960
