[crowd chattering]

[crowd murmurs anxiously]

[grunts]

[crowd cheering]

[sighs]

[♪ bright music playing]

[BOY] Shia! You ought to see the view!

It's amazing, as usual!

Don't be so rude, brother!

You should be talking to our audience!

You can chat with your sister any old time!

[BOY] As you can see, ladies and gentlemen,

I have successfully scaled the clock tower!

[crowd cheering]

[laughs]

-[MAN 1] What a sight! -[MAN 2] Truly amazing!

[WOMAN] Here you go, little miss.

-[MAN 3] What a good show. -[chuckles softly]

[excited chatter]

[♪ opening theme song playing]

Let's see. "An alcoholic hybrid cuisine,

where just eating it can get you drunk"?

[groans]

Now you too, Ponta?!

[song continues]

[♪ bright music playing]

[ARC] Guess who it is?

Yep, me, Arc.

Walking through a lively little burg called Hoban.

We've received a request from Sir Danka

to look into things here.

[DANKA] News from the Rhoden Kingdom.

Humans, beastmen, elves, kidnapped.

Every race has been made victim.

Go at once.

[ARC] Hoban is strategically valuable

since it's the only town that trades with elves.

Not to mention, it's an important hub

of activity that connects

the royal capital of Olav with Limbult.

[horse neighs]

[crowd chattering]

[ARC] Ooh! Look around you.

Elves all over, free to roam a human town

without being harassed!

What a terrific sight!

[ARIANE] Thanks to Princess Yuriarna's efforts,

it's easier for us to be out in the open.

[ARC] As it always should have been.

Now, if only it could have become more commonplace.

It sure is crowded,

not to mention all the cargo wagons.

[ARC] Among them might be the rogues

who have been kidnapping elves,

along with beastmen and humans.

[ARIANE] You're right.

But I think today, it's best if we recover from the journey.

[ARC] Mm. In a thriving town such as this one,

there's bound to be gourmet cuisine nearby.

-Right, Ponta? -[coos]

[crowd chattering]

[Arc chomping]

[Arc giggles gleefully]

See, what did I tell you?

[Ariane grunts in annoyance]

[sighs] A town with this many people has its drawbacks.

Gathering meaningful intel will be difficult.

[gulps, sighs]

Everything will work out in the end.

You know villains, they love blabbing

about their crimes! [gulping]

[ARIANE] That casual approach is exactly

how we keep getting wrapped up in other people's trouble.

[sighs]

Plus, we're starting off with almost no information.

Tomorrow will be tough.

-[Arc sighs] But first, turkey. -[Ariane sighs]

[squeals] Why is this so good?

Her ears turned rosy. Don't tell me--

Hey, you noticed it too? Right?

The seasoning in this dish is kind of unusual,

and I don't mean in a bad way either.

Well, it sounded normal.

Let me check the menu.

Right here, says, "Assorted Turkey."

[gasps] Alcoholic turkey?!

[groans]

Now you too, Ponta?!

Let's see. "An alcoholic hybrid cuisine,

where just eating it can get you drunk"?

"Popular with diners who are on a tight schedule"?

Mm.

[squeals with delight]

[laughs, kisses]

Mm!

[ARC] Not good! When you mix Ariane with booze...

What's wrong, huh?

Do you and I got some kinda problem?

Well? [growls]

She went mean drunk super fast!

What's your deal?

You better start appreciating how life-altering this bird is

or you and I are gonna exchange some words, bub!

Oh, man! If Lady Ariane gets any drunker,

I doubt this inn will survive it!

-[Ariane mumbles drunkly] -Hurry!

[Ariane laughs]

Yeah! Chomp it down. Turkey town!

Something else that rhymes with town! Scarf it!

[ARC] At least she's distracted!

[sighs contentedly] Talk about rude!

Who told you to hog it all for yourself?

We're a team, so I deserve half of it, ya know!

Aah...

For the sake of your safety and mine,

I'll be having the remainder of the turkey!

[ARIANE] That's not fair.

I didn't mean you could take it all.

Give it back!

Sorry. No more wild turkey for you!

[Ariane grunts] I knew you wanted it all for yourself

the second we sat down.

Hand over the gobbler!

-[ARC] I forbid it, Lady Ariane! -[Ariane grunts]

You wanna play rough?

I call upon the flames and junk...

[ARC] Lady Ariane! Not that incantation!

[Ariane laughs]...to rain down upon our foes!

[Arc yells]

[♪ tense music playing]

[horse neighs]

Well, I've got nothing. You?

[ARC] Forgive me, I didn't have any luck either.

You know what's weird?

I didn't drink at all last night,

but my head's killing me for some reason.

[ARC] You certainly did not drink,

but man, did you eat.

Well, actually, most of the evening

is a little bit of a blur for me.

[coos questioningly]

[ARC] You were caught up in that disaster too.

[coos in agreement]

Step right up, step right up!

As I, Shil, scale this very clock tower.

With only my hands and feet,

I will ascend to the heavens above!

Either success and glory awaits me,

or failure, which means death!

A titanic test for anyone.

Let's see if I'm up for the challenge!

[ARC] Ooh, the kid's an acrobat?

Hold on. Is he alone today?

[WOMAN] Huh. When I saw him before,

I remember his sister was playing the flute for him.

It was kind of a cute double act.

[crowd chattering]

[SHIL] Well, folks, I'm halfway to the top,

but can I make the rest of the climb?

[ARC] Hmm, he's certainly agile.

Come on, let's move closer so we can get a better look.

-[birds chirping] -[wind howling]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[crowd cheering]

[crowd chattering, cheering]

[gasps]

Huh? He's pointing. Uh.

Huh.

[♪ tense music playing]

[man grunts] She's a dark elf? [chuckles evilly]

[BANDIT 1] Don't make a sound.

Come along quietly with us, and you won't get hurt.

I can't say the same for you.

-[grunts] -[BANDIT 2] What?

-[groans] -[Ariane grunts]

-[ARC] Lady Ariane! -[groans]

-Just leave her! -They're the kidnappers!

[growls]

[♪ upbeat folk music playing]

That boy's working with them!

Quickly. Get him before he escapes!

I'll go and apprehend the others!

[ARC] Leave it to me!

[grunts, groans]

Wha--

[Ariane grunts]

[gasps, grunts]

[ARIANE] Where'd they go?

[SHIL] Why are you here, Sir Knight?

[ARC] Huh, you've got better manners than I expected.

Shut up, dumbass!

[ARC] All right. Guess I take it back.

You'd better keep up, or you can kiss my ass! Ha!

-[thuds] -[Shil gasps]

-[wood creaking] -[yelping]

[yells]

[laughing]

-[whirring] -Huh?

[gasps]

[ARC] Now who's the dumbass?

[chuckles nervously]

EPISODE 3: THE FALL OF VILLAINS AND THE DANCE OF SIBLING LOVE

[SHIL] Talk about cheap.

The only way you could keep up with me was by cheating!

[ARC] It's not cheating. It's called magic.

[SHIL] Turns out you're some kinda fancy Sir Knight.

Confess.

You're working alongside the kidnappers, aren't you?

Do you want to share with us

how a kid like you ended up helping a bunch of scumbags?

[ARC] The silent treatment.

Then how about telling us how many they kidnapped

using that method?

[grunts]

It's not only elves they're after,

but beastmen, and humans too, your own kind.

Tell me, where do they take the people they grab?

If they're still in town, where do they hide out?

-[slaps] -[gasps]

-[ARC] Lady Ariane! -Listen up!

Do you have any idea what the people

who get taken are forced to do?

[gasps]

[ARC] Now, now. He's already injured.

Let's see about healing him first.

Heal!

HEAL

What's that? More of your magic?

-[ARC] Indeed, it is. -You think

you might be able to use it

to fix really bad broken bones?

[ARC] Hmm.

Seems you've got a story. Are you going to tell it?

[groans]

Don't be shy, step closer!

Today is the day I climb higher than ever before!

What are you doing, Shil? Don't push it!

[SHIL] It's totally fine. In fact, watch this, Shia!

[gasps]

[crowd chattering]

[Shil grunts]

[grunts, chuckles]

[gasps, yells]

-[gasps] -[MAN] Look out!

[Shia yells]

[crowd chattering]

[Shil straining]

[sighs]

-[Shia screams] -Huh?

Shia!

I'd been heading to the square alone

to make money to get Shia's leg looked at.

I was desperate, doing dangerous tricks

to build up the crowd.

But it still wasn't enough.

No matter what I did, I could never earn enough.

And then he showed up and said...

The name's Mashula.

You want to help out your sister, right?

I can lend you a hand for a small price.

That's how I ended up getting roped into their scheme.

But I've seen them grab kids the same age as Shia.

[sobbing]

[ARC] I've heard enough.

Take us to where your sister is.

[door creaks]

[all whimpering]

[♪ unsettling music playing]

We nearly got caught by some weirdos in the square.

There's a chance we might have to conclude

our operation in this town.

I'd prefer staying longer

and procuring more elves and beastmen

to sell at a high price, but it is what it is.

Clear this place out!

Come to think of it,

where's that little bastard, Shil?

That little sister of his. While she may not walk anymore,

I can think of a few other uses for her.

-Sis, I'm home. -[SHIA] Hi, Shil.

[ARC] We're here, too.

[gasps] Who are you?

They're on our side.

This knight can use magic to heal your leg.

[ARC] What a terrible injury.

I can only imagine your pain.

Let's see. Heal!

HEAL

Huh?

-[gasps, squeals] -[laughs]

[SHIA] You're a miracle worker! It doesn't hurt at all!

-[ARC] Hmm. -[coos]

[♪ gentle music playing]

Really, I can do the rest on my own, Shil.

Feels like your leg muscles got stiff

from not being used in so long.

[ARC] It's sweet, seeing siblings

care about each other.

Got that right.

It takes me back.

[ARC] Something the matter, Lady Ariane?

Just reminiscing.

About Eevin, my older sister.

[ARC] Oh yeah, that's right.

You aren't an only child, either.

That leg is gonna be stiff for a while,

-so don't overexert it. -Wait, you're leaving?

Real quick. I've got a promise to keep.

Just as long as you won't be in danger.

Me? Danger? See you soon.

Follow me.

I'll lead you straight to their hideout.

[ARC] Hmm!

That backstabbing brat!

[scoffs] They're too late.

The hideout's already been emptied,

but why don't we take one more?

-[flap opens] -[Shia whimpers]

Shil, is that-- [gasps]

[scoffs smugly]

-[Arc grunts] -[chains clank]

[grunts]

[SHIL] So damn cool!

-[ARC] It's awfully quiet. -[ARIANE] Too quiet.

[SHIL] It should be on the right.

[ARC] Seems they've flown the coop.

No way! Why so suddenly?

It didn't look like anyone was getting

through that gate back there.

-[ARC] Any other exits? -This way!

[♪ tense music playing]

[panting]

The wagons are gone!

[ARC] Did they say they were headed anywhere in particular?

[SHIL] Olav, I think.

-To the western gate. -[ARC] Right!

Do you know which wagon is theirs, lad?

[SHIL] I'd have much better luck recognizing the driver.

[ARIANE] Any transport headed for Olav

is going to pass through here.

-What about that one? -[SHIL] No.

Not them.

Or them, either.

[♪ flute music playing]

[gasps]

That sound,

it's from Shia's flute. But why?

[ARIANE] It's coming from that wagon.

[SHIL] That's him. That's the one!

[ARC] By the sound of it,

they're trying to make off with your sister too.

[both gasp]

[gasps]

-We don't need any travel music! -[yelps]

[♪ tense music playing]

[SHIL] Please, Sir Knight! You've gotta save Shia!

Hmm.

[ARC] Dimension Move!

[both gasp]

[horse neighs]

[bandits yell]

[groaning]

It's her! That dark elf we saw earlier!

This is perfect.

We get another chance to grab and sell her off.

We let our guard down last time.

Now you're gonna pay for humiliating us!

You seem sure of yourself for some reason.

[grunts]

-[grunts] -[both groan]

[both scrambling frantically]

[ARC] It takes a certain kind of low-life scumsucker

to exploit a brother's love for his sister.

You'll never get that chance again.

I'm starting to think he's serious!

Wait for me. Coward!

[ARC] Now to send you animals where you belong!

-To hell in cages! -[both panting]

Wyvern Slash!

Are you in here, Shia?

I knew you'd save us!

You're all right. Come on, you're free.

[♪ flute music playing]

[SHIL] Observe, ladies and gentlemen,

I've nearly reached the clock's face.

Once I clear it, I'd be honored to receive a round of applause.

-Nice, don't you think? -[crowd chattering]

How the siblings are able

to work the square as a team again?

[ARC] Yes, the two of them together

make for an even better act.

-[crowd gasps] -[SHIL] Well, there you have it.

-Another outstanding success! -[crowd cheering]

That's my brother. Isn't he amazing?

Shia!

[ARC] From what I gather,

those rogues were kidnapping people

and aiming to sell them abroad.

Exactly like that idiot rich boy.

Huh? This looks familiar.

Mm, I bet it's from Danka again.

[EEVIN] Where even are you?

Come home and see your big sister

-as soon as possible! -[gasps]

Wait, that's Eevin's voice!

♪

[MAN] You should consider this an honor.

Even in death, you are able to still serve the Lord.
