What Parn said may be coming true.

Don`t become a man who only lives for the duty given to him.

l`m making this journey by my own decision.

l swear l`ll recover the two keys. And also...!

What`s wrong, Spark?

Neese, l swear that l`ll protect you!

Right!

After the Staff of Life was stolen by Dark Elves...

...Spark and the others have traveled on a ship provided...

...by King Etoh and have journeyed from Valis to Kanon.

So, this is Kanon...

Feels nice to not have the ground moving under your feet!

Like heaven!

Really! Especially to a man who was as seasick as you were.

Lady Neese, wait. You`ll get your clothes wet.

lt`s all right, Aldonova! l don`t mind getting wet!

"You`ll get your clothes wet."

Oh, please! Why doesn`t someone say that to me?!

What are you doing? Move it, Leaf!

Then you may travel as far as Kanon on one of our military ships.

May the gods of Light watch over you.

l appreciate this, King Etoh.

Okay, now what do we do, Captain?

You need to ask?

We go through Kanon and head for the island of Marmo itself.

This breeze feels nice!

lt sort of tickles, doesn`t it?

When you change kingdoms, the air even smells different, doesn`t it?

Kanon is a land of lush greenery.

The wind`s feel and direction...

...is different from the desert winds of Flaim.

lts direction, huh?

Think it`ll blow events in our favor?

l`m kinda hoping it will, but...

l think, if we keep heading east, we should be okay.

That will take us to Rood, the main port of Kanon.

l think the Dark Elves who have...

...the Staff of Life and the Soul Crystal Ball will also...

...be headed for a large port to make the crossing to Marmo.

l agree. lf we go to Rood, we may find out...

...some way to make the crossing to Marmo ourselves.

But shouldn`t we take King Etoh`s advice...

...and make contact with the Kanon free army here?

That`s right. Our only allies here will be the free army...

...which is fighting the Marmo occupation forces.

Except we have to get to Rood as soon as we can.

To finish the job we came here to do.

For now, we get moving as fast as we can!

Look, l know we have to get going...

...but did you really have to pick this path?!

Kanon is still under Marmo control.

There`s no telling where we may run into Marmo soldiers.

Yeah, except l`m not exactly a mountain goat, you know!

Come on. Just do your best, Leaf.

Quit bellyaching and climb!

Once we`re over this, it`s just forest.

All right! Jeez!

My, my... So young, so young.

What`s WlTH everyone?!

Lady Neese, please wait!

Lady Neese, please ride on my back.

Don`t worry, Aldonova. This hill isn`t...

Sorry to push you so hard, Neese.

Just hang on a little longer. Come on.

Wha...? Spark!

l made it!

What`s up? Out of breath already? And you call yourself a merc.

Where`s your guts? What the devil...?!

Horrible...

The rich, green fields of Kanon.

Their beauty was unsurpassed in all Lodoss.

The kingdom of Kanon, reduced to this... lt`s horrible.

Who would have done this?

Could the Marmo army really have done this...?

Lady Neese! Are you all right?!

Yes...

l beg your pardon! l wasn`t paying attention!

lt`s all right.

This monster here, too... A result of the Marmo occupation?

So, those monsters are wandering around here, too, huh?

There may be even bigger ones waiting for us up ahead.

Don`t even joke about that.

Besides that...

Kanon, the most beautiful kingdom of Lodoss, huh?

So much for all the nice stories! Sheesh!

Would you quit bellyaching?!

l found a tree full of these nearby.

Maybe if you eat them, you`ll be able to calm down.

Thanks. They look delicious.

Here.

Good ol` Kanon!

A land ready to fill my belly, just like the stories say!

Here, Neese. For you.

Thanks.

One moment, please, Lady Neese.

This might not agree with your palate...

...and it wouldn`t do for you to get sick.

But...

l`ll see to preparing your food.

lf anything where to happen to you, l could never face Master Slayn!

Uh... Right...

They`re just fine!

Here, Lady Neese...

L- Lady Neese?

Lady Neese, where did you go? Lady Neese!

So, the Marmo threat is this great...

Hm? What can we do for you, Neese?

l thought l`d take over the watch for you. You both must be tired.

What are you talking about, Neese?

There`s nothing to worry about, so just get some rest.

l don`t... Even l can stand guard! So, please...!

l swore that l`d protect you.

lt`s natural to protect your friends, right?

Or do you think l`ll be that bad at defending you?

Am l just to be protected all the time?

Even l can--

Beast growls.

Here they come!

Lady Neese!

Yeah, l figured things were getting too easy for us!

We were waiting for you!

You guys are pretty stupid for soldiers in the Kanon free army!

Great! He thinks we`re in the free army!

Whether we make contact or not, we still have to fight their enemies.

So, you`re just a bunch of cannon fodder...

...and not the real free army, huh?

Well, my Daybreak Mercenaries will take your heads anyway!

Sounds interesting! lf you`re the daybreak...

...then you can call me Garrack, the Blue Meteor!

Sheesh, Garrack sure knows how to raise hell.

We`d better help him out.

Aldo! Let`s try to circle around behind them!

Right!

Wait! Me, too!

Hey, don`t let those other ones go! Follow me!

Well? How about a word of thanks?

More of them.

Numbers over skill, huh?

"Glittering ones who live amid the light!"

"Gather yourselves and let your form be shown!"

Piece of cake!

Greevus!

Don`t get careless, Leaf!

l know! Jeez...

What?!

lt`s a cliff!

Hold it right there!

You ran HERE to get away from us?!

You idiots in the free army don`t even know basic tactics, do you?!

Kill `em!

Spark?!

Aldo! Cast a spell!

Right!

"Gentle atmosphere which brings sleep."

"Let your power enter their bodies..."

"Fall into deep slumber!"

Wh- Who are these guys?!

l`ll just have to call the big boy out for this.

What the...?!

What made that roar?!

Did it come from that way?

Where`s Spark and the others?

An ogre?!

Go on! Be as brutal as you want!

Kill the Kanon free army that dares to challenge Marmo!

- Neese! - Lady Neese!

"Manna, source of all creation! Become a shield and protect us!"

Aldonova!

Neese, run for it! l`ll hold that thing here!

Spark!

Spark!

Hurry up and run!

l won`t!

Lady Neese...!

Neese, run for it!

"Marfa, great mother of the earth..."

"Protect us!"

What?! That little girl can use magic?!

Spark!

Neese... Use this chance to escape! Hurry...!

l won`t! l can... l can fight, too!

Don`t be ridiculous! You`re not a warrior!

Fighting is what WE`RE supposed to do!

Protecting you is my duty as a knight!

l also...!

l also want to protect everyone!

Because, l`m...

l`m your friend, too, Spark!

Neese....

Why, you...! Make fools of us, will you?!

Kill every last one of them!

Neese...

Spark...

Neese, can you hold that thing in one place?

Well, can you?!

l can!

"Marfa, great mother of the earth!"

"Let your divine protection restrain this evil one!"

lmpossible!

All right!

Spark! Are you alright?!

Yeah...

You two! You`re unharmed?!

Aldonova! You`re alright?

Y- Yes...

Hey! You guys okay?!

Yeah, we`re fine!

lncredible!

This is all food, isn`t it?!

Those guys must have been protecting these wagons.

Look at all the supplies they were transporting!

Grain, meat, vegetables... Even wine!

The damned Marmo must have stolen this from the people of Kanon!

Well, it`ll just go to waste if we leave it!

Let`s see, what to take...

Hey, wait! l had my eye on that one! Let go!

What are you talking about? Victory goes to the swift, pal!

Come back here!

Um... Neese?

Spark...

Look, about...

Yes?

About before... Thank you. You saved me.

What are you...?

lt`s natural to protect your friends, right?

Spark.

Here.

Thank you.

lt`s delicious.

Those supplies all belong to the people of Kanon!

They don`t belong to you Marmo!

Marmo?

Oh, gimme a break! Now we`re supposed to be the Marmo?!

l claim these supplies! ln the name of the Kanon free army!

The Kanon free army?! Hold it! You`re wrong!

We aren`t Marmo!

Wait!

We`ve come here from Valis!

Don`t try to trick me!

lt`s true!

l carry a letter from King Etoh. See for yourself!

A letter from King Etoh?

That`s a little much for just a lie.

lt`s you... Parn, the free knight!

Welcome to Lodoss lsland!

And now, what you`ve been waiting for, the second part of the show!

Finding a beach on the way! Lucky!

Summer means going to the beach!

We can actually relax and have fun for a change!

Spark, can you swim over here?

lt feels so nice here!

A... A shark!

Hang on, Neese! l, the knight in training, am coming to save you!

Huh? This isn`t a sword. Uh-oh...

Help me, Spark!

Agh! Stay away from me!

Still, l`m safe now.

lt... lt`s a monster.

That`s not a shark!

This is what Jaws really looks like?!

Good work, Little Dragon!

W- Wait a second!

Long time, no see, Spark!

Agh! lt`s an old pervert!

l just wanted to give him the enchanted sword.

That`s why l was drifting around looking for Spark...

He thinks l`m old...?

Amidst the hardships of battle...

...we take refuge at a banquet in the fortress of the free army.

Here l can finally relax. l know l shouldn`t get used to this...

...but l just wish it would last.

This peaceful night with Spark.
