1
00:00:00,167 --> 00:00:10,792
00:00:47.875 --> 00:00:49.542 align:middle
The village is burning.

2
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,667
[growls]

3
00:00:32,292 --> 00:00:35,417
[VILLAGER 3A groaning]

4
00:00:37,458 --> 00:00:40,167
Vice Chief. These
people need help.

5
00:00:40,250 --> 00:00:42,750
Make sure they get back
to E-Rantel safely.

6
00:00:42,833 --> 00:00:43,792
General?

7
00:00:43,875 --> 00:00:45,208
What is it?

8
00:00:45,292 --> 00:00:46,750
Something's wrong here.

9
00:00:46,833 --> 00:00:49,583
The king ordered us to track
down and terminate the bandits

10
00:00:49,667 --> 00:00:52,333
that have been attacking
villages, right?

11
00:00:52,417 --> 00:00:53,458
That's correct.

12
00:00:53,542 --> 00:00:55,000
Okay.

13
00:00:55,083 --> 00:00:57,708
Then, why did they send us out
here with only 50 soldiers?

14
00:00:57,792 --> 00:01:00,458
Especially when Baharuth
might be responsible?

15
00:01:00,542 --> 00:01:03,458
[GAZEF]
It's a top-secret operation.

16
00:01:03,542 --> 00:01:05,500
You know who's behind this.

17
00:01:07,167 --> 00:01:09,083
The noblemen want you to fail.

18
00:01:09,167 --> 00:01:12,125
If they can remove the
King's most trusted general,

19
00:01:12,208 --> 00:01:15,000
then they would have a
clear path to the throne.

20
00:01:15,083 --> 00:01:16,292
It's so transparent!

21
00:01:16,375 --> 00:01:18,125
That's enough, Vice Chief.

22
00:01:18,208 --> 00:01:20,208
But, sir, you know
I'm telling the truth.

23
00:01:20,292 --> 00:01:21,917
We're walking straight
into a trap.

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,375
Our forces should head back
to E-Rantel as fast as possible.

25
00:01:25,458 --> 00:01:28,500
If we split up now,
it will only weaken us.

26
00:01:28,583 --> 00:01:30,750
A few villages may be lost.

27
00:01:30,833 --> 00:01:32,875
That is a small price
to pay in order to keep

28
00:01:32,958 --> 00:01:35,875
the most powerful swordsman
in the country alive.

29
00:01:37,583 --> 00:01:39,208
[gasps]

30
00:01:39,292 --> 00:01:42,083
[GAZEF]
I was born a commoner.

31
00:01:42,167 --> 00:01:43,875
[VICE CHIEF]
So was I.

32
00:01:43,958 --> 00:01:46,583
I know what it's like to
live in these villages.

33
00:01:46,667 --> 00:01:50,792
To fear monsters at every turn,
always waiting for death.

34
00:01:50,875 --> 00:01:52,292
Same here.

35
00:01:52,375 --> 00:01:54,625
Then you know what
it's like to have hope,

36
00:01:54,708 --> 00:01:56,792
praying that someone
out there would actually

37
00:01:56,875 --> 00:01:58,542
show up to protect you.

38
00:01:58,625 --> 00:02:00,333
Of course, I wished
every single day

39
00:02:00,417 --> 00:02:01,750
that a hero would arrive.

40
00:02:01,833 --> 00:02:04,792
But, in the end, not
one person ever came.

41
00:02:04,875 --> 00:02:07,917
Then let us be the
ones who do show up.

42
00:02:09,167 --> 00:02:13,333
We'll let these people know
that it's okay to have hope.

43
00:02:13,417 --> 00:02:18,000
That prayers are answered.
That heroes exist.

44
00:03:56,167 --> 00:03:58,000
[AINS]
Hm...

45
00:04:03,417 --> 00:04:04,917
[MOMONGA] I just need
to figure out how to work

46
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,542
this Mirror of Remote Viewing.

47
00:04:07,625 --> 00:04:11,292
Then we can really secure the
surrounding area of Nazarick.

48
00:04:15,667 --> 00:04:17,958
[clapping]

49
00:04:18,042 --> 00:04:20,750
Congratulations, my lord.
I knew you'd do it.

50
00:04:20,833 --> 00:04:24,042
[AINS] Thanks, Sebas.
I appreciate your support.

51
00:04:24,125 --> 00:04:27,083
Of course. That is my duty
as your personal butler.

52
00:04:27,167 --> 00:04:29,542
The sole reason I was
created by Lord Touch Me

53
00:04:29,625 --> 00:04:31,083
was to carry out your orders.

54
00:04:31,167 --> 00:04:33,250
No matter how tedious
they might seem.

55
00:04:33,333 --> 00:04:34,708
[AINS]
Very well.

56
00:04:34,792 --> 00:04:37,875
Let's see what's happening
in this new world of ours.

57
00:04:39,833 --> 00:04:44,042
[AINS]
Hm. A town festival?

58
00:04:44,125 --> 00:04:46,542
No. Definitely not.

59
00:04:55,250 --> 00:04:59,375
[AINS] Hm. Those men don't
appear to be bandits.

60
00:05:10,292 --> 00:05:11,250
[AINS grunts]

61
00:05:11,333 --> 00:05:12,833
[MOMONGA]
What's up with me?

62
00:05:12,917 --> 00:05:15,250
How can I watch this
violence so calmly?

63
00:05:15,333 --> 00:05:16,958
I would have passed out
at the mere sight of it

64
00:05:17,042 --> 00:05:18,708
in the real world.

65
00:05:20,583 --> 00:05:21,833
[AINS gasps]

66
00:05:24,583 --> 00:05:26,625
[SEBAS]
What are your orders?

67
00:05:26,708 --> 00:05:28,000
[AINS]
Leave them be.

68
00:05:28,083 --> 00:05:32,042
I see no good reason to
interfere in their affairs.

69
00:05:32,125 --> 00:05:34,250
As you wish, my lord.

70
00:05:37,333 --> 00:05:39,375
[MOMONGA]
Touch Me?

71
00:05:39,458 --> 00:05:40,792
[PLAYER 1B]
What an easy encounter.

72
00:05:40,875 --> 00:05:42,417
[PLAYER 1D] Just two more
XP and I get to level up.

73
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:44,292
[PLAYER 1E] Then stop goofing
around and kill him already.

74
00:05:44,375 --> 00:05:45,583
[MOMONGA grunts]

75
00:05:45,667 --> 00:05:46,792
[PLAYER 1E]
Damn inhuman.

76
00:05:46,875 --> 00:05:48,875
[PLAYER 1D]
I'll fix his mug.

77
00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:57,042
[MOMONGA gasps]

78
00:06:00,875 --> 00:06:02,750
[MOMONGA]
Why did you save me?

79
00:06:02,833 --> 00:06:05,000
[TOUCH ME] Because saving
a person who's in trouble

80
00:06:05,083 --> 00:06:08,458
is always the right thing to do!

81
00:06:13,417 --> 00:06:17,375
[AINS chuckles]

82
00:06:17,458 --> 00:06:19,292
[MOMONGA] I guess that now
is as good a time as any

83
00:06:19,375 --> 00:06:21,542
to test my strength
in this new world.

84
00:06:21,625 --> 00:06:23,833
I'd have to do it
eventually anyway.

85
00:06:27,208 --> 00:06:30,458
[AINS]
Sebas. I'm paying them a visit.

86
00:06:30,542 --> 00:06:32,917
Raise the security level
of Nazarick to maximum

87
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,292
while I'm away.

88
00:06:35,417 --> 00:06:36,958
[AINS]
Tell Albedo to meet me there,

89
00:06:37,042 --> 00:06:40,708
armed and ready for battle.
Then prepare the reserves.

90
00:06:40,792 --> 00:06:43,167
I want soldiers who are skilled
at stealth, or can use

91
00:06:43,250 --> 00:06:47,292
the "Invisibility" spell, ready
to move in at a moment's notice.

92
00:06:47,375 --> 00:06:49,167
[SEBAS]
Consider it done.

93
00:06:49,250 --> 00:06:52,750
[MOMONGA] I will strive to live
by your example, Touch Me.

94
00:06:56,375 --> 00:06:57,625
[AINS]
Gate.

95
00:07:01,417 --> 00:07:03,000
Enri!

96
00:07:03,083 --> 00:07:05,042
[KNIGHT 3A laughs]

97
00:07:05,125 --> 00:07:06,458
Don't look!

98
00:07:06,542 --> 00:07:09,542
[ENRI'S FATHER grunts]
Run, Enri! Quickly! Take Nemu!

99
00:07:09,625 --> 00:07:12,583
Now! Get away from here!

100
00:07:12,667 --> 00:07:14,042
[panting]

101
00:07:14,125 --> 00:07:18,125
[ENRI] I have to find a way
to save my little sister.

102
00:07:18,208 --> 00:07:19,708
[KNIGHT 3A gasps]

103
00:07:21,125 --> 00:07:23,083
[ENRI]
Huh?

104
00:07:26,833 --> 00:07:28,083
[KNIGHT 3B]
What is that?

105
00:07:36,625 --> 00:07:38,458
[BOTH whimper]

106
00:07:41,458 --> 00:07:43,542
[AINS]
"Grasp Heart."

107
00:07:45,833 --> 00:07:47,583
[KNIGHT 3B groans]

108
00:07:50,958 --> 00:07:52,917
[MOMONGA]
Well, that's a relief.

109
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
I was afraid that ninth
tier undead spell wasn't

110
00:07:55,083 --> 00:07:57,708
going to work on these humans
and I'd have to retreat.

111
00:07:57,792 --> 00:07:59,417
I could always use
my melee armor,

112
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:01,833
but I'd like to save
it for another day.

113
00:08:03,125 --> 00:08:05,208
[KNIGHT 3A]
It's a monster!

114
00:08:05,292 --> 00:08:09,167
[MOMONGA] Hm. I felt nothing
after killing that soldier.

115
00:08:09,250 --> 00:08:10,417
Interesting.

116
00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:12,083
It seems as if I've
stopped being human

117
00:08:12,167 --> 00:08:15,000
in both a physical
and a mental capacity.

118
00:08:15,083 --> 00:08:16,458
[KNIGHT 3A whiimpers]

119
00:08:16,542 --> 00:08:18,292
[AINS] What kind of man can
murder women and children

120
00:08:18,375 --> 00:08:21,083
but doesn't have
the nerve to face me?

121
00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:22,792
Well, I'm here now.

122
00:08:22,875 --> 00:08:26,042
You'll help me test my power
whether you want to or not.

123
00:08:26,125 --> 00:08:27,000
Dragon Lightning!

124
00:08:27,083 --> 00:08:30,833
[KNIGHT 3A yelps]

125
00:08:30,917 --> 00:08:32,750
[KNIGHT 3A screams]

126
00:08:34,958 --> 00:08:38,583
[AINS] Pathetic. And that was
only a weak fifth tier spell.

127
00:08:41,917 --> 00:08:45,167
[AINS] Let's try making
an undead. Death Knight!

128
00:08:51,167 --> 00:08:54,125
[MOMONGA] Whoa! It's
taking over a dead body?

129
00:08:54,208 --> 00:08:56,333
It didn't work like
that in Yggdrasil.

130
00:08:56,417 --> 00:08:59,000
[DEATH KNIGHT groans]

131
00:08:59,083 --> 00:09:00,292
[gasps]

132
00:09:04,167 --> 00:09:05,458
[AINS]
Death Knight.

133
00:09:05,542 --> 00:09:09,833
Kill anyone in the village
who looks like this.

134
00:09:09,917 --> 00:09:12,042
[roars]

135
00:09:13,167 --> 00:09:14,708
[AINS]
U-Uh...

136
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,375
[MOMONGA] I need to think my
orders through from now on.

137
00:09:19,458 --> 00:09:21,375
What's the point of summoning
a defensive monster

138
00:09:21,458 --> 00:09:23,708
if I'm just gonna send him away?

139
00:09:25,833 --> 00:09:28,167
[ALBEDO] It took longer
than expected to get here.

140
00:09:28,250 --> 00:09:30,125
I'm sorry you had to wait.

141
00:09:30,208 --> 00:09:31,500
[AINS]
Don't apologize.

142
00:09:31,583 --> 00:09:33,917
You arrived right
on time, Albedo.

143
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,708
[ALBEDO] Thank you for
saying so. Now then.

144
00:09:36,792 --> 00:09:38,625
How would you like me to
deal with these pathetic

145
00:09:38,708 --> 00:09:40,542
lower life forms?

146
00:09:40,625 --> 00:09:42,250
[AINS]
These two are no threat.

147
00:09:42,333 --> 00:09:46,250
The humans wearing the armor
are the enemies we are after.

148
00:09:46,333 --> 00:09:48,250
[ALBEDO]
I understand.

149
00:09:48,333 --> 00:09:51,333
[AINS]
It looks like you're bleeding.

150
00:09:51,417 --> 00:09:52,708
Drink this.

151
00:09:52,792 --> 00:09:54,125
[ENRI]
Blood?

152
00:09:57,500 --> 00:09:59,583
If you insist.
I'll drink it. But my--

153
00:09:59,667 --> 00:10:00,708
No, don't do it, Enri!

154
00:10:00,792 --> 00:10:02,375
[MOMONGA]
What the hell is going on?

155
00:10:02,458 --> 00:10:04,708
Did they forget I just
saved their lives?

156
00:10:04,792 --> 00:10:06,375
Why don't they trust me?

157
00:10:06,458 --> 00:10:08,708
[ALBEDO]
How dare you insult your savior!

158
00:10:08,792 --> 00:10:10,042
[ENRI, NEMU gasp]

159
00:10:10,125 --> 00:10:12,958
[AINS] Albedo, don't!
Lower your weapon at once.

160
00:10:13,042 --> 00:10:15,125
[ALBEDO]
As you wish, my lord.

161
00:10:15,208 --> 00:10:18,625
[AINS] This is not blood.
It's a healing potion.

162
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:26,458
Wow.

163
00:10:26,542 --> 00:10:28,000
[AINS]
I assume the pain is gone now?

164
00:10:28,083 --> 00:10:29,917
[ENRI]
Yes, it is.

165
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,333
[AINS] Hm. Tell me, have you
ever heard of magic before?

166
00:10:34,417 --> 00:10:35,667
Uh, yes.

167
00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:38,083
I have a friend who
frequents our village.

168
00:10:38,167 --> 00:10:40,542
He's a pharmacist
who practices magic.

169
00:10:40,625 --> 00:10:43,417
[AINS] Perfect. Then it's
not hard to understand.

170
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:46,542
I am a magical caster as well.

171
00:10:46,625 --> 00:10:51,000
"Anti-Life Cocoon."
"Protection from Arrows Wall."

172
00:10:52,208 --> 00:10:54,708
[AINS] I just cast two
protection spells around you.

173
00:10:54,792 --> 00:10:57,417
You'll both be safe
as long as you stay put.

174
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:00,708
But, just in case,
take these, as well.

175
00:11:00,792 --> 00:11:03,458
If you blow the horns, an
army of goblins will appear

176
00:11:03,542 --> 00:11:05,958
to do your bidding.

177
00:11:06,042 --> 00:11:09,125
Do not hesitate to
use them if needed.

178
00:11:09,208 --> 00:11:10,667
[ENRI]
Excuse me!

179
00:11:12,792 --> 00:11:16,000
Thank you so much for saving us.
We are forever grateful.

180
00:11:16,083 --> 00:11:18,000
Thank you very much, Mister!

181
00:11:18,083 --> 00:11:19,625

It was no problem.

182
00:11:19,708 --> 00:11:20,958
Uh, wait!

183
00:11:21,042 --> 00:11:23,083
May I please have the name
of the man who saved me?

184
00:11:23,167 --> 00:11:24,833
[AINS]
My name?

185
00:11:24,917 --> 00:11:28,708
[MOMONGA]
Yes. They should all know.

186
00:11:28,792 --> 00:11:30,625
[AINS]
You shall remember it well.

187
00:11:30,708 --> 00:11:34,333
And tell everyone of my powers.

188
00:11:34,417 --> 00:11:37,542
I am Ains Ooal Gown!

in a hellhole like this.

It is a pleasure
to meet all of you.

245
00:14:36,083 --> 00:14:37,625
Don't worry about
my Death Knight.

246
00:14:37,708 --> 00:14:39,333
No harm will come to you now.

247
00:14:39,417 --> 00:14:43,208
Tell your supervi--
I mean, owner of my kindness.

248
00:14:43,292 --> 00:14:46,667
However, next time you commit
such heinous acts in this area,

249
00:14:46,750 --> 00:14:50,208
I will bring death
to your entire kingdom.

250
00:14:50,292 --> 00:14:53,625
Leave. Make sure you speak
my name to everyone.

Hm?

255
00:15:01,292 --> 00:15:03,583
Why did you come here?

256
00:15:03,667 --> 00:15:05,917
[AINS] I could not stand by
and watch innocent people

257
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,208
be murdered. Call it
a "moral obligation."

258
00:15:09,292 --> 00:15:10,625
[VILLAGERS gasp]

259
00:15:10,708 --> 00:15:13,333
[AINS] Be at ease. This village
is under my protection.

260
00:15:13,417 --> 00:15:15,958
You no longer need to be scared.

261
00:15:18,208 --> 00:15:20,875
[VILLAGERS gasp]

262
00:15:20,958 --> 00:15:23,000
[AINS sighs]

263
00:15:23,083 --> 00:15:25,792
[AINS] I don't do this kind
of work for free though.

264
00:15:25,875 --> 00:15:28,667
I expect to be compensated
for my efforts.

265
00:15:28,750 --> 00:15:32,542
[VILLAGERS murmur, laugh]

266
00:15:32,625 --> 00:15:34,292
[MOMONGA] As I thought,
the villagers don't question

267
00:15:34,375 --> 00:15:36,292
my intentions as long as
they think I'm doing this

268
00:15:36,375 --> 00:15:38,625
for financial gain.

269
00:15:38,708 --> 00:15:40,375
They would react
negatively if they saw

270
00:15:40,458 --> 00:15:44,125
my real face, even though
it was common in Yggdrassil.

271
00:15:44,208 --> 00:15:45,792
It's too bad I didn't
think of concealing it

272
00:15:45,875 --> 00:15:47,958
before stepping in
to this situation.

273
00:15:48,042 --> 00:15:50,250
It's a pain, but I'll
have to use a spell

274
00:15:50,333 --> 00:15:52,792
to keep those girls quiet.

275
00:15:52,875 --> 00:15:54,333
Here's hoping
memory-wiping magic

276
00:15:54,417 --> 00:15:56,167
works in this place.

277
00:15:58,083 --> 00:16:00,083
[AINS] I requested money
from the village so as

278
00:16:00,167 --> 00:16:02,250
not to arouse any suspicions.

279
00:16:02,333 --> 00:16:05,208
But information was
what I was truly after.

280
00:16:05,292 --> 00:16:07,000
I am unfamiliar
with this new world

281
00:16:07,083 --> 00:16:09,958
and need to learn all
I can about the area.

282
00:16:10,042 --> 00:16:12,458
Failing to educate myself
will only make me weak

283
00:16:12,542 --> 00:16:14,000
to any enemies.

284
00:16:14,083 --> 00:16:16,208
The village chief and his
wife believed my story

285
00:16:16,292 --> 00:16:18,250
about being a hermit who
was quite knowledgeable

286
00:16:18,333 --> 00:16:20,667
about magic, but
who knew nothing

287
00:16:20,750 --> 00:16:22,625
of the world around him.

288
00:16:22,708 --> 00:16:24,917
They were eager to educate
me about this village

289
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,250
and the surrounding areas.

290
00:16:27,333 --> 00:16:29,208
I wonder though.

291
00:16:29,292 --> 00:16:31,042
[MOMONGA] What kind of people
use magic in this world

292
00:16:31,125 --> 00:16:34,500
that these peasants would
so easily trust me?

293
00:16:34,583 --> 00:16:36,000
Even though my face is concealed

294
00:16:36,083 --> 00:16:38,208
by this cursed mask, they
dropped their guard just because

295
00:16:38,292 --> 00:16:40,792
I claimed to be a magic caster.

296
00:16:40,875 --> 00:16:42,750
In Yggdrasil, even n00bs
could get this mask

297
00:16:42,833 --> 00:16:45,625
by staying logged in
over Christmas Eve.

298
00:16:45,708 --> 00:16:48,042
Sadly, I quickly learned
that all of my Yggdrasil

299
00:16:48,125 --> 00:16:50,542
currency was useless here.

300
00:16:50,625 --> 00:16:53,417
Of course, the gold
itself has some value,

301
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:56,625
but it could be dangerous
to flash the coins around.

302
00:16:56,708 --> 00:17:00,167
After that, I asked about
the surrounding territories.

303
00:17:00,250 --> 00:17:01,792
There are three realms.

304
00:17:01,875 --> 00:17:03,875
Nazarick, and this village,
known as Carne,

305
00:17:03,958 --> 00:17:06,958
are part of the
Re-Estize Kingdom border.

306
00:17:07,042 --> 00:17:09,333
On the other side of
said border is the domain

307
00:17:09,417 --> 00:17:10,833
adjacent to the
great mountain range

308
00:17:10,917 --> 00:17:15,167
that runs north and south.
The Baharuth Empire.

309
00:17:15,250 --> 00:17:18,375
The two countries are on
bad terms to say the least.

310
00:17:18,458 --> 00:17:20,625
They've hated each other for
years and they often battle

311
00:17:20,708 --> 00:17:22,250
on the open plains
between them near

312
00:17:22,333 --> 00:17:25,833
the capital city of E-Rantel.

313
00:17:25,917 --> 00:17:27,958
There is one final country.

314
00:17:28,042 --> 00:17:31,167
The Slane Theocracy, which
is located to the south

315
00:17:31,250 --> 00:17:34,000
of both provinces.

316
00:17:34,083 --> 00:17:36,375
The village chief assumed
the Baharuth Empire

317
00:17:36,458 --> 00:17:38,500
was responsible for
the attack based on

318
00:17:38,583 --> 00:17:40,625
the crests of the
Knight's shields.

319
00:17:40,708 --> 00:17:42,500
However, there's
a possibility that

320
00:17:42,583 --> 00:17:45,667
the Slane Theocracy staged this
event to maintain hostilities

321
00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:48,833
between Re-Estize and Baharuth.

322
00:17:48,917 --> 00:17:50,375
If I had thought to
take a knight hostage

323
00:17:50,458 --> 00:17:52,208
for questioning, we
would have found out

324
00:17:52,292 --> 00:17:54,333
for sure who was responsible.

325
00:17:54,417 --> 00:17:56,292
Is there something
bothering you?

326
00:17:56,375 --> 00:17:58,625
[AINS]
No. Everything is fine.

327
00:17:58,708 --> 00:18:00,208
Is there anything
else of importance

328
00:18:00,292 --> 00:18:01,875
that I should know
about this region?

329
00:18:01,958 --> 00:18:03,375
[VILLAGE CHIEF]
Let's see.

330
00:18:03,458 --> 00:18:06,625
The closest city to our village
is the capital, E-Rantel.

331
00:18:06,708 --> 00:18:09,125
Goblins, orcs and ogres
inhabit the area.

332
00:18:09,208 --> 00:18:11,500
But you should be safe
if you stay on the road.

333
00:18:11,583 --> 00:18:13,417
The adventurers
hunt on that land

334
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:15,417
and do a good job of
keeping those bastards'

335
00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:17,000
populations in check.

336
00:18:17,083 --> 00:18:18,208
[AINS]
Adventurers?

337
00:18:18,292 --> 00:18:19,833
They're mercenaries
who deal with

338
00:18:19,917 --> 00:18:22,083
monsters in exchange
for payment.

339
00:18:22,167 --> 00:18:23,792
If you're interested in
hiring some of them,

340
00:18:23,875 --> 00:18:26,000
there's a guild in
E-Rantel where you can

341
00:18:26,083 --> 00:18:27,583
request their services.

342
00:18:27,667 --> 00:18:29,958
[AINS]
An Adventurer's Guild?

343
00:18:30,042 --> 00:18:32,875
And just how big of
a city is E-Rantel?

344
00:18:32,958 --> 00:18:34,042
I'm not sure.

345
00:18:34,125 --> 00:18:36,125
Definitely larger
than our village.

346
00:18:36,208 --> 00:18:38,292
[AINS]
I suspected that.

347
00:18:38,375 --> 00:18:39,625
[MOMONGA]
If I want to find out more,

348
00:18:39,708 --> 00:18:42,708
I'll have to make a home
for myself in the capital.

349
00:18:48,292 --> 00:18:50,917
[AINS] I could use my
Wand of Resurrection.

350
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,250
It would breathe life back
into the dead villagers.

351
00:18:54,333 --> 00:18:56,625
However, these people
may not be as trusting

352
00:18:56,708 --> 00:18:58,917
of a magic user who's
as good at reversing death

353
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,375
as he is at bringing it.

354
00:19:00,458 --> 00:19:02,000
I can only imagine
how much trouble

355
00:19:02,083 --> 00:19:04,333
I'd get myself into
if I cast it.

356
00:19:04,417 --> 00:19:05,917
[ENRI, NEMU sobbing]

357
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,042
[AINS]
For now, I'll restrain myself.

358
00:19:08,125 --> 00:19:09,625
They should all be
content with the fact

359
00:19:09,708 --> 00:19:11,750
that I saved their village.

360
00:19:15,917 --> 00:19:17,875
[MOMONGA] Thanks to my good
deed, the story of how

361
00:19:17,958 --> 00:19:20,167
Ains Ooal Gown saved
Carne Village will spread

362
00:19:20,250 --> 00:19:22,542
across the countryside.

363
00:19:22,625 --> 00:19:24,917
My reputation
should grow quickly.

364
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,625
And if there are other
players from Yggdrasil

365
00:19:26,708 --> 00:19:27,875
stuck in this world,

366
00:19:27,958 --> 00:19:30,083
they will hopefully hear
of me and seek me out.

367
00:19:30,167 --> 00:19:33,083
I shouldn't kill any more
humans unless necessary.

368
00:19:33,167 --> 00:19:36,667
I wouldn't wanna
antagonize any players.

369
00:19:36,750 --> 00:19:40,250
Also. A man with a
reputation needs a cause.

370
00:19:40,333 --> 00:19:41,708
One that would allow
me to win the support

371
00:19:41,792 --> 00:19:44,500
of one of the countries.

372
00:19:44,583 --> 00:19:47,083
[MOMONGA sighs]
I'm exhausted.

373
00:19:47,167 --> 00:19:49,458
[AINS] Today's mission
was a great success.

374
00:19:49,542 --> 00:19:51,500
Let's head back home, Albedo.

375
00:19:51,583 --> 00:19:52,625
[ALBEDO]
Right away, my lord.

376
00:19:52,708 --> 00:19:55,542
[VILLAGER 3D panting]
Hey there.

377
00:19:56,625 --> 00:19:58,500
[AINS]
You seem to dislike humans.

378
00:19:58,583 --> 00:20:00,000
[ALBEDO]
What's to like about them?

379
00:20:00,083 --> 00:20:02,125
They are weak and pathetic.

380
00:20:02,208 --> 00:20:06,125
Just tiny insects that exist
to be crushed under foot.

381
00:20:06,208 --> 00:20:07,500
[AINS]
Listen to me.

382
00:20:07,583 --> 00:20:10,792
I want you to show them
respect. Act if you need to.

383
00:20:10,875 --> 00:20:14,250
But I demand that you treat
the humans with kindness.

384
00:20:14,333 --> 00:20:16,417
[ALBEDO grunts]

385
00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:19,333
[MOMONGA] It feels hypocritical
to ask that of her

386
00:20:19,417 --> 00:20:21,583
when I don't have
feelings for them either.

387
00:20:21,667 --> 00:20:24,292
Must be a side effect
from being an undead.

388
00:20:25,667 --> 00:20:26,917
What are we going to do, Chief?

389
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,125
I'm afraid I don't have a plan.

390
00:20:29,208 --> 00:20:31,708
[AINS]
The problems keep stacking up.

391
00:20:31,792 --> 00:20:34,458
Village Chief. Is there
something wrong here?

392
00:20:34,542 --> 00:20:36,333
Lord Ains! Thank goodness!

393
00:20:36,417 --> 00:20:38,083
I was just told
there are more soldiers

394
00:20:38,167 --> 00:20:40,875
heading toward the village
at breakneck speed.

395
00:20:40,958 --> 00:20:42,667
[AINS]
Is that so?

396
00:20:44,375 --> 00:20:47,333
[AINS] Don't worry, I can
handle this situation.

397
00:20:47,417 --> 00:20:50,458
Please gather the surviving
villagers around your house.

398
00:20:50,542 --> 00:20:53,250
When you're done, come
meet me at the town square.

399
00:20:53,333 --> 00:20:55,042
Yes, of course.

400
00:21:06,917 --> 00:21:08,000
[gasps]

401
00:21:11,125 --> 00:21:12,875
I am the Chief
Royal Warrior from

402
00:21:12,958 --> 00:21:16,042
the Re-Estize Kingdom.
Gazef Stronoff.

403
00:21:16,125 --> 00:21:18,083
The King has ordered me
to hunt down the knights

404
00:21:18,167 --> 00:21:20,417
that have been attacking
surrounding villages.

405
00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:22,083
Your people are safe now.

406
00:21:22,167 --> 00:21:24,167
We will do all we
can to protect you.

407
00:21:24,250 --> 00:21:25,625
Thank you, General Gazef.

408
00:21:25,708 --> 00:21:27,042
[AINS grunts]

409
00:21:27,125 --> 00:21:29,125
Are you the chief
of this village?

410
00:21:29,208 --> 00:21:31,292
Who is this man
standing beside you?

411
00:21:31,375 --> 00:21:32,875
He looks peculiar.

412
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:33,958
This gentleman saved--

413
00:21:34,042 --> 00:21:36,208
[AINS]
No need to worry about that now.

414
00:21:36,292 --> 00:21:39,042
It is a pleasure to make
your acquaintance, General.

415
00:21:39,125 --> 00:21:41,208
My name is Ains Ooal Gown.

416
00:21:41,292 --> 00:21:43,750
I'm a simple magic user
who stumbled upon this town

417
00:21:43,833 --> 00:21:46,375
while it was being
ransacked by those knights.

418
00:21:46,458 --> 00:21:47,667
What?

419
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:53,667
These people would have
been lost without you.

420
00:21:53,750 --> 00:21:56,000
Thank you, Sir Ains.

421
00:21:56,083 --> 00:21:57,583
[GAZEF'S SUBORDINATE]
General!

422
00:21:57,667 --> 00:21:58,375
Huh?

423
00:21:58,458 --> 00:21:59,583
We've spotted a large army

424
00:21:59,667 --> 00:22:01,125
of unknown origin,
and they're surrounding

425
00:22:01,208 --> 00:22:03,958
the village even as we speak!

426
00:22:04,042 --> 00:22:05,333
[MOMONGA gasps]

427
00:23:40,833 --> 00:23:43,000
[AINS] The Slane Theocracy's
special ops unit

428
00:23:43,083 --> 00:23:44,958
carried out the attack
on Carne Village

429
00:23:45,042 --> 00:23:46,917
in order to draw out Gazef,

430
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,667
the cheif warrior of
the Re-Estize Kingdom.

431
00:23:50,750 --> 00:23:54,417
Though he's aware of the trap,
Gazef bravely attacks the enemy

432
00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:56,875
in order to protect
the villagers.

433
00:23:56,958 --> 00:24:00,125
But I care little for the
humans and their squables.

434
00:24:00,208 --> 00:24:01,708
This is an opportunity for me

435
00:24:01,792 --> 00:24:04,708
to test the powers
of Ains Ooal Gown!

436
00:24:04,792 --> 00:24:07,250
I shall not waste it.

437
00:24:07,333 --> 00:24:10,458
