The enemy of the world

4
00:00:17,768 --> 00:00:19,312
was defeated by somebody.

To this very day,

that lone Hero remains unknown,
both in name and existence.

Now the age of fear has come to an end,
8
00:00:28,863 --> 00:00:32,158

[Taren] What's the matter, young boy?

I'm afraid I can't give you
any sugar sweets.

My dad says that you help him a lot.

He says he's been getting more customers,
so I wanted to thank you.

helping your dad personally.

Creating plans to ensure the citizens
of Lithia don't suffer is my job.

It sure is.

00:02:57,762 --> 00:03:01,182
Just like opening the store every day

[child] So I made this for you,
Master Taren.

It's perfect for keeping my hair bands in.

47

When the True Demon King died,
she declared independence from Aureatia.

Acknowledged
as the self-proclaimed Demon King,

No way.
61
00:04:48,622 --> 00:04:50,082
[Dakai] How did you know?
62
00:04:50,541 --> 00:04:52,084
[Taren] Just a guess.
63
00:04:52,668 --> 00:04:56,338
I always say that
when I come back to the office.
64
00:04:56,422 --> 00:04:59,717
I guess it was worth it
since I got to see that reaction of yours.

You're really something,

to get from Nagan?

I wouldn't be back otherwise.

00:05:11,437 --> 00:05:12,438
Hm.
70
00:05:12,521 --> 00:05:14,356
[Dakai] It's what you wanted, right?
71
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,067
Without a doubt. The Cold Star.
72
00:05:17,943 --> 00:05:21,113
You truly are remarkably resourceful,
Dakai.
73
00:05:21,697 --> 00:05:24,033
So, what exactly is that thing?
74
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:29,121
A magic item, documented in records from
before the era of the True Demon King.
75
00:05:29,705 --> 00:05:32,225
[Taren] I suspected that
the self-proclaimed Demon King Kiyazuna
76
00:05:32,291 --> 00:05:34,877
had been using it
to power the Great Labyrinth.
77
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,128
Looks like I was right.
78
00:05:36,670 --> 00:05:38,350
After passing through the central crystal,
79
00:05:38,422 --> 00:05:42,509
sunlight is changed into explosive light,
capable of even bombarding a city.

Sounds dangerous.
82
00:05:44,845 --> 00:05:49,099
[Taren] Not a single thing cast out from
the Distant World is gentle in nature.
83

86
00:05:56,732 --> 00:05:58,025
Are you talking about me?
87
00:05:58,108 --> 00:06:01,403
Surely you don't consider yourself
to be a gentle being?
88
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:03,364
That sword certainly isn't.
89
00:06:03,989 --> 00:06:06,909
[Taren] The Magicked Blade of Razhucort,
which prides itself on
90
00:06:06,992 --> 00:06:09,411
seizing the initiative in any attack.
91
00:06:09,495 --> 00:06:11,789
It was cast out
from the Distant World too, right?
92
00:06:12,414 --> 00:06:13,415
Perhaps.
93
00:06:13,499 --> 00:06:16,085
What about the other magic items
besides the Cold Star?
94
00:06:16,835 --> 00:06:18,462
Did you have time to check?
95
00:06:18,921 --> 00:06:20,005
I looked around.
96
00:06:20,089 --> 00:06:22,716
But I didn't find anything else of value.
97
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,968
That's fine.
98
00:06:24,051 --> 00:06:27,763
The Cold Star is all I need.
99
00:06:27,846 --> 00:06:31,141
So you don't mind that I didn't
bring the Dungeon Golem back?
100
00:06:31,684 --> 00:06:33,477
I don't know who defeated it,
101
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,479
but it looked like
a serious piece of gear.
102
00:06:35,562 --> 00:06:37,856
Those self-proclaimed Demon Kings
outdid themselves.
103
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,318
I thought you defeated it.
104
00:06:41,819 --> 00:06:44,822
Well, it just means there's
someone else as strong as me.
105
00:06:44,905 --> 00:06:45,906
Somewhere out there.
106
00:06:47,408 --> 00:06:49,702
The seal was in its right shoulder.
107
00:06:49,785 --> 00:06:50,786
Am I right?
108
00:06:51,537 --> 00:06:53,747
I haven't heard anything specific yet.
109
00:06:54,289 --> 00:06:57,001
Aureatia collected the wreckage.
110
00:06:57,584 --> 00:06:58,877
That's a shame.
111
00:06:58,961 --> 00:07:02,006
I would have liked
to see you use that sword.
112
00:07:02,089 --> 00:07:04,216
Your expectations are too high.
113
00:07:04,299 --> 00:07:06,051
I'm not a swordsman.
114
00:07:06,135 --> 00:07:09,221
Still, now that you found
the magic item I wanted,
115
00:07:09,304 --> 00:07:11,890
I'll have to give you another job.
116
00:07:12,683 --> 00:07:14,143
[Taren] For nearly two months now,
117
00:07:14,226 --> 00:07:17,187
merchant caravans going in and out
of Lithia have come under attack.
118
00:07:17,980 --> 00:07:20,399
Probably by outlaws sent from Aureatia.
119
00:07:20,983 --> 00:07:22,151
So I've heard.
120
00:07:22,234 --> 00:07:25,362
But isn't Regnejee
protecting the skies of Lithia?
121
00:07:25,904 --> 00:07:27,906
A bunch of outlaws
shouldn't pose any threat.
122
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:31,535
If they steal our cargo
on its way to Lithia,
123
00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:34,288
then not even an army of wyverns
can help us.
124
00:07:34,371 --> 00:07:36,707
These outlaws,
who keep popping up around Lithia,
125
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:38,542
present another problem.
126
00:07:39,168 --> 00:07:40,335
[Dakai laughs]
127
00:07:40,419 --> 00:07:42,504
A difficult problem?
128
00:07:43,005 --> 00:07:47,384
The enemy is using the outlaws
to observe the measures we take.
129
00:07:47,926 --> 00:07:50,721
Like when wyvern interception
will be slightly delayed,
130
00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:53,640
or when important cargo is being carried.
131
00:07:53,724 --> 00:07:58,604
So basically, you think that
somebody is leaking this information?
132
00:07:58,687 --> 00:08:00,022
[Taren] Yes.
133
00:08:00,105 --> 00:08:03,233
Find out who's informing Aureatia,
then capture them.
134
00:08:03,442 --> 00:08:06,361
You're free to put
that sword of yours to good use.
135
00:08:06,904 --> 00:08:09,698
Put to good use…
[chuckles]
136
00:08:10,616 --> 00:08:14,119

[merchant 2] If you're after smoked meat...
144
00:08:41,355 --> 00:08:44,441
Some outlaws came right up
to the front of the city.
145
00:08:45,150 --> 00:08:47,444
[Dakai] Was it to send in spies?

You weren't really trying to find holes
in our aerial defense system, were you?
148
00:08:53,158 --> 00:08:55,786
[Dakai] Amidst the chaos,
you hitched a ride with a merchant
149
00:08:55,869 --> 00:08:58,080
and slipped right into Lithia.
150
00:08:58,163 --> 00:09:02,292
Acting as if you were merchants
from elsewhere who had been attacked.
151
00:09:04,461 --> 00:09:08,882
If you're identifying as merchants,
then I guess there's more of you.
152
00:09:09,258 --> 00:09:13,846
I suspect there are others
snooping on the command structure.
153
00:09:16,682 --> 00:09:17,683

Three others hiding.
159
00:09:31,029 --> 00:09:32,698
That makes seven altogether.

Is this their version of a fortress?

[Dakai] Now, who's left?
180
00:10:19,661 --> 00:10:21,955
One, two, plus another three.
181
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:23,081
Five, huh?
182
00:10:23,165 --> 00:10:24,208
[grunts]
183
00:10:24,291 --> 00:10:25,292
[blood splats]
184
00:10:25,834 --> 00:10:27,044
That brings it down to four.
185
00:10:27,127 --> 00:10:29,004
- [panting]
- [blood splats]
186
00:10:29,421 --> 00:10:30,672
[both gasp]
187
00:10:31,798 --> 00:10:32,883
[both groan]
188
00:10:34,509 --> 00:10:36,178
Don't even try to escape.
189
00:10:36,261 --> 00:10:37,262
You can't.
190
00:10:37,846 --> 00:10:41,725
If I take care of you two,
there'll be just one left.
191
00:10:41,808 --> 00:10:42,809
[scared gasp]
192
00:10:43,393 --> 00:10:46,146
What do you think? Should I kill you both?
193
00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:47,314
[breathes sharply]
194
00:10:47,397 --> 00:10:48,523
I surrender.
195
00:10:48,607 --> 00:10:50,567
If you're going to show mercy,
let him live.
196
00:10:50,651 --> 00:10:51,735
B-But…
197
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:54,738
You can't beat this swordsman.
This guy is...
198
00:10:56,573 --> 00:10:58,283
[terrified scream]
199
00:10:58,367 --> 00:11:03,163
Trying to buy time for your friend inside
by wasting time begging for your lives?
200
00:11:03,247 --> 00:11:05,916
I'm familiar with that trick.
201
00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:07,167
[scared gasp]
202
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:10,712
[Dakai] There's no reason
for me to let him live either.
203
00:11:11,546 --> 00:11:14,091
Everything's recorded
on this piece of paper, isn't it?
204
00:11:14,675 --> 00:11:17,010
I took it from the guy I just killed.
205
00:11:17,094 --> 00:11:18,679
I-I won't resist!
206
00:11:18,762 --> 00:11:21,515
So please, show the mercy of a swordsman!
207
00:11:21,598 --> 00:11:22,975
No can do.
208
00:11:23,058 --> 00:11:24,059
[swooshes]
209
00:11:28,272 --> 00:11:30,399
[Dakai] Because I'm not a swordsman.
210
00:11:30,941 --> 00:11:32,359
I'm a bandit.
211
00:11:32,734 --> 00:11:34,736
[♪ epic choral music playing]
212
00:11:36,154 --> 00:11:37,698
[Taren] Dakai the Magpie.
213
00:11:38,156 --> 00:11:41,743
An aberrant entity that cannot
be tolerated in the Distant World.
214
00:11:42,327 --> 00:11:45,747
A visitor that has flowed to this world…
215
00:11:46,331 --> 00:11:49,835
[narrator] He is the one who can stop even
the speed of bullets in his consciousness,
216
00:11:49,918 --> 00:11:53,171
and possesses remarkable eyesight
and an enchanted sword.
217
00:11:53,839 --> 00:11:57,551
The one who boasts the power of insight
218
00:11:57,634 --> 00:12:00,387
to conquer impenetrable labyrinths alone.
219
00:12:01,054 --> 00:12:04,057
The one who plunders
in moments of utmost crisis,
220
00:12:04,141 --> 00:12:08,437
and possesses fingers
of absolute precision and divine speed.
221
00:12:08,937 --> 00:12:11,690
He steals across
the boundaries of his own world
222
00:12:11,773 --> 00:12:15,444
with a rampant disregard for the law.
223
00:12:16,111 --> 00:12:17,112
[sword clinks]
224
00:12:17,195 --> 00:12:18,613
[blood drippling]
225
00:12:18,697 --> 00:12:19,948
[blood splats]
226
00:12:22,576 --> 00:12:24,828
So, what will you do now,
227
00:12:25,245 --> 00:12:26,330
Aureatia?
228
00:12:26,747 --> 00:12:31,543
[narrator] He is a bandit. He is a minia.
He is Dakai the Magpie.
229
00:12:31,626 --> 00:12:35,547
Ishura
The Twenty-Nine Officials of Aureatia
230
00:12:38,425 --> 00:12:39,968
[clicks]
231
00:12:55,734 --> 00:12:57,736
All troops, straighten up.
232
00:12:58,153 --> 00:12:59,196
Look at me.
233
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:01,740
[wyverns groaning]
234
00:13:02,324 --> 00:13:03,784
[Regnejee] I'll tell you right away.
235
00:13:03,867 --> 00:13:06,370
We're here to sentence
one rotten individual to death.
236
00:13:06,953 --> 00:13:10,707
You've probably heard about
the Lithia citizen who went missing today.
237
00:13:11,249 --> 00:13:13,126
A minian child.
238
00:13:13,210 --> 00:13:15,212
Nine years old. A little girl.
239
00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:18,465
I suspect one of you
knows something about this.
240
00:13:18,548 --> 00:13:20,801
[wyverns murmuring]
241
00:13:20,884 --> 00:13:22,636
[wyvern 1] It's true!
242
00:13:22,719 --> 00:13:25,806
It was Deputy Commander Lukwel
of the Southern Guerrilla Unit!
243
00:13:25,889 --> 00:13:27,724
H-He ate a child!
244
00:13:28,350 --> 00:13:30,185
I-I saw it myself.
245
00:13:30,602 --> 00:13:31,895
It's true!
246
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:35,315
[♪ tense music]
247
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:36,775
[surprised exclaim]
248
00:13:37,776 --> 00:13:41,780
We receive more than enough food
249
00:13:41,863 --> 00:13:45,075
in return
for protecting the citizens of Lithia.
250
00:13:45,158 --> 00:13:46,827
That's the deal we have.
251
00:13:46,910 --> 00:13:47,953
[scared mumbling]
252
00:13:48,036 --> 00:13:50,205
[Regnejee]
Let me put it simply for you, fools.
253
00:13:50,831 --> 00:13:52,624
Eating Lithia citizens,
254
00:13:52,707 --> 00:13:56,253
and losing the trust of Taren the Guarded,
255
00:13:56,336 --> 00:14:01,716
is a rotten, grave act of treason
that will starve our entire group!
256
00:14:02,426 --> 00:14:05,220
Deputy Commander Lukwel
of the Southern Guerrilla Unit.
257
00:14:05,846 --> 00:14:07,722
Do you have anything to say
in your defense?
258
00:14:07,806 --> 00:14:10,142
[mumbling]
259
00:14:11,226 --> 00:14:13,478
[wyvern 2]
I can't believe Lukwel would do that.

[wyverns murmuring]
261
00:14:16,690 --> 00:14:18,984
[Regnejee] From Regnejee
to the wind of Lithia.
262
00:14:19,067 --> 00:14:20,986
Reversing Mirror Disk.
String-tethered sun!

00:14:21,570 --> 00:14:22,571
Illuminate!
264
00:14:22,654 --> 00:14:24,906
[pained screaming]
265
00:14:26,533 --> 00:14:28,034
Why me?
266
00:14:28,118 --> 00:14:30,412
[Regnejee]
Did you think you could trick me?
267
00:14:30,996 --> 00:14:32,164
You piece of trash!
268
00:14:32,247 --> 00:14:33,790
[wyvern 1 grunting]
269
00:14:33,874 --> 00:14:37,544
Look! See what happens
to fools who break the rules!
270
00:14:39,754 --> 00:14:45,177
Any scum who eats Lithia citizens
will be sentenced to death! No exceptions!
271
00:14:45,260 --> 00:14:48,138
Sentenced to death!
272
00:14:51,224 --> 00:14:56,146
One year ago…
This scum joined our ranks one year ago.
273
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:58,273
I didn't break him in hard enough.
274
00:14:58,356 --> 00:15:02,152
All those who entered in the same period
will report for re-conditioning.
275
00:15:02,235 --> 00:15:04,321
Nobody will break the rules again.
276
00:15:04,404 --> 00:15:06,281
Never again!
277
00:15:06,364 --> 00:15:09,367
[♪ ominous music]
278
00:15:16,583 --> 00:15:18,877
[Regnejee] I lead that swarm of trash.
279
00:15:19,294 --> 00:15:22,339
I must be superior to any other wyvern.
280
00:15:23,006 --> 00:15:25,175
I won't run away from the swarm.
281
00:15:26,843 --> 00:15:29,429
[distant squawking]
282
00:15:32,015 --> 00:15:33,308
[grunts]
283
00:15:38,438 --> 00:15:40,857
[Regnejee] Those who are truly strong
lead others.
284
00:15:41,441 --> 00:15:45,153
They take responsibility
for as many lives as they can.
285
00:15:57,207 --> 00:15:59,000
[Curte] Today is sunny.
286
00:15:59,084 --> 00:16:03,380
Regnejee left early in the morning
and still isn't back.
287
00:16:04,089 --> 00:16:06,383
He seems especially busy lately.
288
00:16:06,841 --> 00:16:08,761
- [Regnejee] What are you mumbling about?
- [gasps]
289
00:16:09,678 --> 00:16:10,887
Regnejee?
290
00:16:10,971 --> 00:16:12,764
Yeah, it's me.
291
00:16:13,348 --> 00:16:15,183
Were you deployed today too?
292
00:16:15,267 --> 00:16:18,311
I just got back
from chasing off some rotten outlaws.
293
00:16:18,395 --> 00:16:21,273
I've not got time to mess around
every day like you.
294
00:16:21,898 --> 00:16:23,316
I've been writing a diary.
295
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:29,155
I heard nobles who can write
make records in books like this every day.
296
00:16:29,239 --> 00:16:34,661
[Curte] If I do the same, then I'll always
remember what we spoke about together.
297
00:16:34,744 --> 00:16:35,912
[scoffs]
298
00:16:35,996 --> 00:16:37,914
Don't say such daft things.
299
00:16:37,998 --> 00:16:41,042
How do you plan to write if you can't see?
300
00:16:41,126 --> 00:16:42,586
[giggles]
301
00:16:42,669 --> 00:16:45,046
That's a challenge
I've been enjoying lately.
302
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:51,803
It's still bright outside, isn't it?
303
00:16:51,886 --> 00:16:54,806
[wind gusting]
304
00:17:04,774 --> 00:17:06,776

- Don't touch me.

[giggles]
306
00:17:08,194 --> 00:17:10,280
I can't even catch you off guard, huh?
307
00:17:10,363 --> 00:17:11,531
A small fry like you?
308
00:17:11,615 --> 00:17:15,910
You couldn't ever touch me,
not even if you tried for a lifetime.
309
00:17:16,411 --> 00:17:18,538
That might be true.
310
00:17:18,622 --> 00:17:21,207
I'll have to think of another way.
311
00:17:25,462 --> 00:17:28,465
Regnejee, do you like it here in Lithia?
312
00:17:28,548 --> 00:17:30,300
What about you?
313
00:17:30,383 --> 00:17:32,093
You can't even see it.
314
00:17:32,177 --> 00:17:33,178
[Curte] I like it.
315
00:17:33,261 --> 00:17:34,846
It's beautiful.
316
00:17:34,929 --> 00:17:36,473
How silly.
317
00:17:36,556 --> 00:17:37,891
I envy you.
318
00:17:37,974 --> 00:17:39,225
[Curte giggles]
319
00:17:44,731 --> 00:17:47,525
[Regnejee] Aren't you going to sing today?
320
00:17:47,609 --> 00:17:50,612
[Curte] There are plenty of singers
who sing better than me.
321
00:17:51,446 --> 00:17:53,615
I want to hear your song, Curte.
322
00:17:54,741 --> 00:17:55,825
[Curte] Is that so?
323
00:18:00,455 --> 00:18:01,498
[inhales]
324
00:18:02,415 --> 00:18:04,626

[vocalizing continues]
326
00:18:12,342 --> 00:18:14,969
[narrator]
Even now that everything is over,
327
00:18:15,053 --> 00:18:19,891
there might not be any person, anywhere,
328
00:18:19,974 --> 00:18:22,560
who fully understands
the identity of the True Demon King.
329
00:18:23,728 --> 00:18:26,898
Who was the True Demon King?
330
00:18:26,981 --> 00:18:29,901
What did that True Demon King
do to her hometown?
331
00:18:29,984 --> 00:18:32,404
Curte never saw it for herself.
332
00:18:32,487 --> 00:18:38,493
But she lost the light
after that indescribable terror.
333
00:18:39,244 --> 00:18:44,749
Even so, one girl, and one wyvern,
didn't lose themselves to insanity.
334
00:18:45,375 --> 00:18:47,335
Curte believes.
335
00:18:47,419 --> 00:18:52,382
That the surreal song
she heard in the darkness
336
00:18:52,465 --> 00:18:55,802
is what brought back their sanity.
337
00:18:55,885 --> 00:18:58,304
[Curte vocalizing]
338
00:19:03,143 --> 00:19:04,436
[Curte] Regnejee.
339
00:19:05,311 --> 00:19:07,647
What's going to happen to Lithia?
340
00:19:08,231 --> 00:19:09,858
What about you?
341
00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:13,403
Do you plan to stay here in Lithia?
342
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:14,946
[Curte giggles]
343
00:19:15,572 --> 00:19:18,032
Well, my mother is the monarch of Lithia.
344
00:19:21,286 --> 00:19:23,079
People are going to die.
345
00:19:23,163 --> 00:19:25,331
A war is about to begin.
346
00:19:25,415 --> 00:19:28,001
It's true. I understand these things.
347
00:19:28,543 --> 00:19:31,546
That may be,
but I can't leave you behind, Regnejee.
348
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:32,922
[scoffs]
349
00:19:33,006 --> 00:19:37,802
If a war does break out, dullards like you
will be the first to die.
350
00:19:38,386 --> 00:19:40,180
Yes, you're right.
351
00:19:41,890 --> 00:19:43,057
Oh.
352
00:19:43,141 --> 00:19:45,477
When will you give up, slowpoke?
353
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,937
Oh, come on,
what's wrong with a little touch?
354
00:19:48,021 --> 00:19:49,230
- Gotcha!
- [grunts]
355
00:19:49,314 --> 00:19:50,940
S-Stop you fool!
356
00:19:51,024 --> 00:19:52,692
What if you trip and hurt yourself?
357
00:19:52,776 --> 00:19:55,904
[laughing]
358
00:19:56,613 --> 00:19:57,989
Can I sing again?
359
00:19:58,072 --> 00:20:01,659
Sure. Knock yourself out.
360
00:20:02,869 --> 00:20:05,163
[Curte] Regnejee, did you know?
361
00:20:05,789 --> 00:20:08,583
When the world began, there was an angel.
362
00:20:08,666 --> 00:20:11,920
The angel and the Wordmaker
created everything.
363
00:20:12,003 --> 00:20:14,672
Do you believe that legend?
364
00:20:14,756 --> 00:20:18,676
Yes. Angels like songs.
365
00:20:19,177 --> 00:20:21,554
Word Arts came from songs.
366
00:20:23,348 --> 00:20:25,725
If only you were an angel, Regnejee.
367
00:20:31,064 --> 00:20:33,942
[Curte vocalizing]
368
00:20:34,025 --> 00:20:39,948
[vocalizing continues]
369
00:20:44,035 --> 00:20:46,287
[narrator] He is the one who rules over
370
00:20:46,412 --> 00:20:51,084
a freely-flying force that rules
the vast skies of the world alone.
371
00:20:51,668 --> 00:20:55,713
The one who commands
an absolutely obedient and fearless swarm,
372
00:20:55,797 --> 00:21:00,093
as if they were a single living entity.
373
00:21:00,635 --> 00:21:03,388
The one with sharp battlefield acumen
374
00:21:03,471 --> 00:21:07,934
who has firmly rooted himself
in the core of a nation.
375
00:21:10,019 --> 00:21:12,689
[♪ soft music]
376
00:21:26,786 --> 00:21:32,542
He is a Command. He is a wyvern.
He is Regnejee the Wings of Sunset.
377
00:21:33,126 --> 00:21:35,128
[♪ closing theme music]
378
00:23:02,590 --> 00:23:05,551
Aureatia
Somewhere in the Suburbs
379
00:23:06,344 --> 00:23:08,054
[soldier] That's the situation.
380
00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:12,016
Move out as soon as you receive contact.
381
00:23:17,438 --> 00:23:19,524
[transporter] Hang on a second.
382
00:23:20,233 --> 00:23:23,528
This is a delivery assignment,
not a clean-up job.
383
00:23:25,989 --> 00:23:29,200
[transporter] And I heard
the luggage is somewhat tricky.
384
00:23:30,660 --> 00:23:32,662
Well, I'm sure it will work out.
385
00:23:33,371 --> 00:23:35,957
After all, I have an angel with me.
386
