Original subtitles

Kizuna! Get us back to where we came from!

Calm down, Naofumi! That's exactly what Kyo wants!

I don't care!

I'd rather fall into his trap than leave Raphtalia alone in a place like that!

It's no use. They closed it off from their side.

That bastard!

Naofumi?

Naofumi, I know someone who's good at finding people.

We'll find her right away if we ask him.

So just calm down.

-Lady Kizuna? -What?

Oh, Lady Kizuna!

Don't worry. They are from Sickle.

They are on our side.

Lady Kizuna, you have returned!

Good to be back.

I'm sorry for the sudden request, but can you call Ethnobalt?

Come on. Get moving!

No! Let go!

Let go of me!

Jeez.

We'll never get customers with this rain.

Shut up!

I finally picked up a transformer like you!

You're going to make me rich tomorrow!

To think that our kingdom's Cardinal Hero, Lady Kizuna,

had been imprisoned in the Infinite Labyrinth…

This is an unparalleled act of aggression!

We must lodge a complaint with Mikakage at once!

Yes, please do that.

But how did you escape from the dimensional prison?

Oh, that's thanks to these two.

-I see! -Oh, I see!

You saved our dear Lady Kizuna! You have our deepest gratitude.

Oh, no, we don't deserve any gratitude!

She's Rishia.

And this is Naofumi Iwatani, a Cardinal Hero just like me.

Except he's from an otherworld.

What's wrong, you guys?

Lady Kizuna, distance yourself from him at once!

Call the guards!

He has come to destroy our world.

Destroy this world? Naofumi?

What?

That makes no sense! Naofumi saved my life!

How could you be so rude to him?

Naofumi!

Naofumi?

Oh, my. Where are you going?

Ethnobalt!

It's been too long, Kizuna.

I've located you regularly, but it seems I was late to notice.

And who are you?

Are you the one who wished to search for someone,

Cardinal Hero from an otherworld?

I possess the Boat of the Vassal Weapons.

My name is Ethnobalt.

Kizuna, please take this.

He has missed you.

Oh, thank you!

So you kept him with you, Ethnobalt?

Yes.

Glass looked after him at first, but she grew quite busy.

Chris!

Yes! I'm glad to see you too!

Kizuna, what is he?

Oh, sorry, this is my shikigami. His name is Chris.

"Shikigami"?

Right. I made him together with Glass.

Four days ago, Chris began acting up.

That reminds me.

Is that when you escaped from the Infinite Labyrinth?

Yes.

I'm sure he'll tell us where Glass is, too.

I see! He's perfect for finding people!

Wait. But how do we search for Raphtalia and Filo?

Right. That's why Naofumi has to make a shikigami too.

How?

What? Well…

You need the user's blood and a medium for the shikigami.

Since it's Raphtalia, maybe a strand of her hair or something?

Raphtalia's hair?

I've fed some to the Shield before.

Raphtalia's hair. Found it.

That's Raphtalia's…

Now we need some of your blood, Naofumi.

Then let us begin the ritual to create a shikigami.

What we seek now is one to protect another.

May this fragment of their essence create a vassal.

What will be born is a messenger of protection.

This is…

What is it?

No, it's just that it's materializing faster than I expected.

Who is the source of this medium?

A NEW SHIELD HAS BEEN UNLOCKED

SHIKIGAMI OBTAINED SHIKIGAMI EXECUTION, ENHANCEMENT

"Shikigami Shield"?

This is a shikigami?

That's right! You did it, Naofumi!

I was worried for a moment, but I'm glad that it turned out well.

Raphtalia…

You should be happier!

The fact that she was born means that the source of the medium is still alive!

That means…

Raphtalia is still alive!

Oh, thank goodness.

She's very cute.

But we don't know how long she'll stay safe.

We still need to hurry.

Yes, I know.

But not just Raphtalia. We need Filo too.

I'm finding both of them.

Right.

Ethnobalt, was it?

Thank you for creating this shikigami.

Not at all. I hope you can find your friends soon.

You…

Are you really human?

Oh, you can tell? You're good, Naofumi.

No, I just felt something was off.

A rabbit?

What?

Ethnobalt is a descendant of monsters that have defended this world for generations.

A descendant from monsters that defend this world?

So something like her?

How rare. I never expected you to

show your true form to someone you met for the first time.

For some reason, I thought that

nothing bad would come of Naofumi seeing me.

Is that so?

Maybe animals like you or something?

So what now? You said he is good at finding people.

You don't mean that just because he could make a shikigami, right?

Naofumi…

But this is how Naofumi usually is.

Naturally, that isn't the only reason.

Ethnobalt is the Vassal Hero of the Boat.

He can take you to where the person you're searching for is on his Boat.

You still can't use Return Dragon Vein?

Well, I can only travel to places that aren't closed.

In any case, he's way more amazing!

What? Even though all he has is a boat?

Perhaps we should go outside first.

It's floating in the air!

That thing under you was your boat?

Where is Raphtalia?

Naofumi, why don't you give her a name?

A name? Yes, later.

Now tell us where Raphtalia is.

You'd better decide on one soon.

Okay, Chris. Do you know where Glass is?

What? Does this mean…

They are both in the same place?

That is not good.

What do you mean?

That's Label.

They are allied with Mikakage, the kingdom that imprisoned me.

That genius sorcerer, Kazuki,

was supposed to be from that kingdom.

So it's an enemy kingdom?

You've got way too many of those.

I know, right?

This world has been in really bad shape for a long time.

War could break out at any minute.

If they're in an enemy kingdom, then…

It's likely that they've been captured.

We have to go, even if it's a trap.

I just hope Filo is in that kingdom too.

Then we will teleport the Boat now.

Wait. You can use a portal skill?

I can move at high speed

along the connections between Dragon Hourglasses.

And he doesn't have to go there first or reappear at the Hourglass.

It would be terrible if the Hourglass was deep in enemy territory.

It's an advanced version of Return Dragon Vein.

That is the only thing I can do.

No, that's already incredible.

Yes! I'm really grateful to Ethnobalt!

Waiting for your return was worth it. Now I can be of use to you.

-Yes. What a sight. -Amazing.

Come on! Move those wings!

Wings!

Now sing!

Sing a song!

Master…

It would be too obvious if we suddenly appeared above the enemy city.

We'll land outside and sneak in.

I'll be waiting for you. Please do be safe!

It looks like Mikakage, but it's strangely more modern.

The sun is going to set.

What should we do? We can stay at an inn.

We know where they are. We're walking through the night.

Well, I know what you mean.

I'll fight my drowsiness!

Oh, I forgot!

That whole talk about Naofumi destroying this world!

Oh, what the people in the palace said?

Shoot. I wanted to ask Ethnobalt about it.

He said that Glass was really busy too.

Why in the world would they go to your world?

What's wrong?

I can hear her.

What?

Wait. Naofumi?

That's the opposite way!

It's not Raphtalia, but this voice…

SLAVE CREST, MONSTER CREST

It's impossible…

She couldn't be…

What the heck is going on?

Descended from the heavens, a young heavenly maiden!

This ends the show for today, but do come again tomorrow!

"Descended from the heavens…"

"…a young heavenly maiden"?

What? Is that what they said?

Isn't this…

No! Save me!

Rishia!

-Someone! -Right?

-Raphtalia! -That's too inhumane.

-Master! -Enough singing! Take her away!

Was that a song?

I don't know what she was saying, but it sounded like she was crying.

I feel sorry for her.

Filo…

Filo!

You can't, Naofumi!

She's right. You can't start a scene right now!

Let go of me. I'm killing that bastard!

I want to kill him too, but you need to calm down right now.

We can sneak in at night and handle him.

You need to keep it down!

Well, it looks like no one understood what Rishia said.

Yes. Our first priority is to rescue Filo unharmed.

Could this be another of Kyo's traps?

Like I care.

I'm tired of this.

I can torture him until he reveals his connection to that guy.

At least call it "interrogation."

Is there a difference?

No, but…

Let's go.

Man, those two are scary.

I feel like I'm illegally trespassing all the time these days.

Who gives a crap about the law at a place like this?

Filo, where are you?

Birds?

A humming fairy chick.

It's said that this monster has a beautiful singing voice.

It looks a bit different from a filolial.

-Let's check the other-- -No, it's Filo.

But it isn't a filolial--

You're Filo, right?

You are, aren't you?

Is this really Filo?

What's wrong? You can't turn into a human?

There's some kind of talisman on her cage.

It's a control talisman.

Normally, you stick them directly to the monster.

They stuck them on the cage

to keep the monster crest from activating?

How cruel.

Kizuna, can you cut only the birdcage?

I can, but who knows what will happen if I cut the control talismans as well?

If I use the monster crest…

SLAVE CREST, MONSTER CREST

Filo, just bear with it for a while longer.

Kizuna, do it!

You got it!

Master!

Filo, I'm so glad.

I'm so glad!

But how did you know that the humming fairy was her?

How could I mistake a dear friend for anything else?

What's going on? What's all the racket?

Oh, you're trying to steal my golden goose?

Unscrupulous bastards!

Who's unscrupulous here?

I'll tie you to a tree and beat you!

Sing!

-Come on, dance! -Sing something.

That shield is insanely powerful.

He confessed all his crimes and then broke down mentally.

But to think that a noble's son would open a freak show to make money…

But then he did say that it was his father who found Filo unconscious.

Kyo may have put Filo into his father's hands.

What a total bastard!

She's such a cute little crybaby.

She's usually a very cheerful little girl who never cries.

Really?

But you called her a filolial?

Why did she turn into a humming fairy in this world?

If filolials don't exist in this world,

then maybe she was turned into a similar species.

The reason she can still turn into human form is because of Filolial Queen,

a unique skill that she has.

Master.

What is it?

You won't disappear again?

Yes. I'll always be with you, Filo.

No! Master is Filo's master!

She looks a lot better, but she won't let go of you.

She must have been so scared.

Master, who's this girl?

She kind of smells like Raphtalia.

She's a shikigami made from Raphtalia's hair.

She was with us yesterday too.

Really? Then you're Raph!

-Raph? -Raph?

Well, if she likes it…

Hi! I was with you yesterday too.

The name's Kizuna Kazayama.

This is my shikigami, Chris.

Sister Kizuna and Chris!

"Sister."

Naofumi, Filo is a good girl!

You can just call her "Kizuna."

Naofumi!

What is this world coming to?

What happened yesterday may have made the rounds already.

Hide, Filo.

What does it say?

It's about Filo.

Looks like it was too dark for them to make out our faces.

I'm glad you're small right now.

What else…

This one sounds like bad news.

The Vassal Hero of the Katana was found and is on the run.

All forces in the kingdom are on the lookout for them.

The Vassal Hero of the Katana?

So what if they escaped from…

What?

Is something wrong?

Wait.

Raphtalia's name disappeared!

What?

Why?

I don't know!

I just had a bad feeling.

It couldn't be…

It can't be…

Could Kyo have…

If she's still here, then…

Raphtalia has to be alive.

Then why did the slave crest…

Raphtalia…

Now, out with you!

Master Naofumi…

Come!
