Original subtitles

Looks like the town of Suls

has been completely taken over by the Barrel bandit gang.

I do have to admit that I'm impressed by the speed and initiative

that they unleashed in a flash.

Hey.

Are we just going to let them get away with this?

Since they've taken the people of the town hostage,

there's nothing we can do.

Krai hates it when there are casualties.

Krai and Chloe are also missing.

And Arnold's been poisoned...

Arnold!

Wh-What the hell are you doing?

I hit a pressure point that stimulates his immune response.

But the effect is only temporary.

What do we do?

Right! That demi-human...

It's coming this way...

What do I do?

This is it!

They must not be spoken.

They are the posthumous names of those who were cursed.

They must not be forgotten.

It's a sign that they will eventually be regarded as the most ominous.

"Grieving Souls."

This is the heroic tale of Krai Andrey, the leader of the invincible party,

who fascinated both gods and demons

in an absolutely normal and mundane tale overflowing with love and peace.

Ryuu-ryu-ryu-ryuu!

Ryu-ryuu!

Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu-ryuu!

Ryuu!

Ryu-ryuu!

Ryuu-ryu-ryu, ryuu-ryu-ryu.

Episode 19

Somehow or Another, I'd Like to Get Out

"Somehow or Another, I'd Like to Get Out."

Let This Grieving Soul Retire

Thank goodness I had the Dancing Form.

They think I'm one of them.

Um, so...

Ryu?

May I ask where you're going?

Ryuu-ryu-ryu!

Ryu?

Ryuu...

Ryu?

Ryu.

U-Um...

Ryu.

Ryu-ryu? Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu, ryu-ryu-ryu?

Where are we going?

Ryuu... Ryu-ryu-ryu. Ryu.

Ryuu. Ryu!

Wow. They understood me.

Ryu!

I had no idea a place like this existed beneath Suls.

The undergroundlings are real.

But...

It's hot.

Too hot.

I want to... go home already.

You're telling me you can't find Thousand Tricks?!

We've combed every inch of the town...

There's no way he could have escaped the barrier.

He must be in here somewhere.

If he doesn't want to come out...

Um... What's this?

Ryuu-ryu!

Ryuu!

Ryuu!

Um...

Ryuu!

We...

Ryuu-ryu-ryu-ryuu. Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu.

We are friends.

Ryuu-ryu-ryu-ryu-ryuuu!

Let's get along!

Ryu?

Huh?

Ryu! Ryu-ryuu.

Ryu!

Ryu?

Ryu-ryu?

This is it!

It worked!

Thank goodness I asked Kris to put an offensive spell into this!

Ryu... Ryu!

Ryuu-ryu-ryu-ryu!

Ryu.

What's going on?

A second wave?

I got this thing from Sitri,

but I don't know what kind of magic is in here.

Ryu!

It worked!

Ryu!

Ryu!

A strengthening spell?!

This can't be happening!

Ryuu... Ryuuu...

Ugh, I'm so bored!

Hey, you over there.

Say something funny.

What?!

Liz!

Hey now...

Can you hear this, Thousand Tricks?

How long do you plan to hide?

If you don't show yourself,

we'll start killing one hostage every ten minutes.

Is he serious?!

What do we do now?!

Master...

I'm sick of this!

I'm going into the hot springs.

Hey!

Don't you care if the hostages die?

He's right!

I thought you didn't want any casualties!

What?

These guys would be the ones killing them.

Not me.

Who the hell are these guys?!

Really though, what are these guys?!

Bam!

Come on!

Let's see...

This should do it.

We'll deal with the ringleaders.

Please work on freeing the hostages.

Got it.

Leave this to us!

Thank you.

Arnold!

Take this.

I'm going to cut our way out of here!

It's time to show them our true strength as Nebulanubes warriors!

And ours, too!

Yeah!

Kill, kill!

Let's go!

What's happening?

What the...

Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu! Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryuu!

Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu! Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryuu!

Ryu!

What's going on?!

What is that?!

How can that thing be so huge?!

It's too big!

Ryu-ryu-ryuu!

Ryu!

Ryu-ryu-ryuu... ryuuu.

Hey, isn't that...

Krai?!

What's going on?

Are those...

Cave People?

Ryu-ryuu-ryu ryuu-ryu-ryuu!

"We dedicate this victory to our king."

"We no longer fear the malevolent god."

Sitri, you speak their language?!

I can just pick out some words.

But, like, what's this "malevolent god"?

Not sure...

Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu, ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu.

"You fought with us, displayed your power, and then showed us mercy."

Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu... ryu.

"You have proven yourself worthy to be our king."

When did Krai become a king?

Ryuu!

Ryu?

Ryu-ryu, ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu-ryuu?

Um, where are we going now?

"Kill them all. The entire world will be ours"?!

There's no way Master would ever say something like that!

Is he using the Cave People to pin down Barrel?

But what's next?

Why don't we just ask him directly?

Hey, Krai!

Ryu?

Heyo!

Oh, Li...

Ryu! Ryu-ryu. Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu.

"Show us the way, O King!"

That pattern on her forehead...

Is that it?

You're a princess, are you?!

You seem very knowledgeable, Sitri.

Ryu-ryu.

Um...

Ryu!

Huh?

Those girls are my friends.

Ryuu-ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu, ryuu-ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu.

"Leave no survivors"?!

Krai, whose side are you on?!

Ryu?

Huh?!

Ryu-ryu-ryun, ryu-ryu-ryu of ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu.

I'm with you, aren't I?!

D-Did you really just say, "Kill that wise and beautiful woman first"?

And "I couldn't care less about her two attendants"?

"Attendants"?

What?

What is going on here?!

Is the princess of the Cave People truly that amazing?!

If you really don't care who it is, as long as it's a woman,

then I should be the obvious choice!

You freaking womanizer!

Ryu?

You bastard!

You still owe me money!

What the hell are you thinking?!

Sitri...?

Si...

A king?

You wanted to become a king, is that it?

You wanted your own country?

In that case, I could easily have taken over some country somewhere for you!

Krai, you idiot!

You moron!

You dimwit!

Why is she so angry?

I'm through with you!

Ryu?

Ryu?

Ryu!

Ryu!

Oh. Looks like it's out of mana.

Ryu!

Krai!

Master!

I wasn't expecting that.

Huh?

I'm back, Sitri.

Welcome back.

Ryu...

Ryuu-ryuu!

Ryu-ryu-ryuu! Ryu-ryu-ryu, ryuu! Ryuu!

"The king is dead!"

"Kill them! Raze it all to the ground!"

Ryuu-ryu-ryu-ryuu-ryu-ryu! Ryuu!

"Let's show them how terrifying we can be!"

Wha?!

First one thing, then another!

What's wrong with them?!

Damn!

What the hell is going on?!

Yeah, this definitely isn't looking good.

Ryu...

Ryuu... Ryuu! Ryu.

Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryuu-ryu!

Ryu-ryu-ryu! Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryuu!

Oh, now I get it.

That must be the malevolent god she mentioned earlier.

High-pressure steam?!

I have to... get help... quick...

Ryu-ryu-ryu...

Um...

Ryuu... ryu-ryu-ryu!

Ryuu-ryuu-ryuu?

Ryu?

This place is dangerous, ryu.

Go home, ryu-ryu-ryuu.

Ryu... Ryuu!

Hey! Get off him!

Master!

Krai.

Um...

Ryun-ryu-ryuu... Ryu!

Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryuu!

Ryu-ryu-ryu-ryu, ryuu-ryu-ryu!

What the...?

Huh, what?

Hey, what's going on here?

They're retreating?!

Ryu-ryu-ryu! Ryu-ryu-ryuu!

I see.

You used the Cave People to subdue Barrel,

and now you're using the hot spring dragon to send them packing, too.

That's such a genius strategy.

Huh?

B-But what are we going to do about the hot spring dragon?!

Ryuuuu...

I told you to get off him!

Is the whole town just going to...

Si!

What?

Cover me!

Off she goes...

Dang it!

Hmm?

Isn't that...

The little one from the other day?

Hey, Si. What are they saying?

How do you expect me to understand that?!

Boo, you're boring.

Oh, come on!

Could that be...

its... parent?

The dragon is leaving...

Yeah.

It's flying off?

That's what I'm seeing.

First those demi-humans and now this! None of it makes any sense!

Um, I guess all's well that ends well?

See, that's our Krai!

Huh?

So that was the reason you stopped us from eating the hot spring dragon!

Wha?

I can't believe you thought this far ahead!

Yup, yup! Sure did!

Oh, right! What about the hostages?

Huh? What do you mean?

The Barrel bandit gang, Master!

They're the ones Earl Gladis asked you to—

Ribbit, ribbit?

What?

Oh, my.

Krai, this is really bad.

Lucia is... absolutely livid.

What?!

What's happening?!

What is it now?!

Over there!

Right!

Right!

This magic really is exhausting.

Why do we always have to be the ones to clean up our leader's messes?

Krai, how many times do I have to tell you that swordsmen don't use axes?!

Who the hell are you?!

If you don't know who we are...

you old geezers must be...

impostors.

Grinning skulls...

Are you with Grieving Souls?!

Oh, so you do know.

Making an entrance isn't as easy as you'd think, y'know?

Anyway, Lucia. There's still two left.

You mean there's only two left!

Maybe you don't know this,

but casting this spell over a wide area is really exhausting!

If we defeat Grieving Souls...

It'll boost Barrel's reputation!

Aw man, Krai's gonna lecture me again.

What?

I'm sorry.

I was supposed to try talking to you first.

"Communication is key."

That's what Krai always says.

He says I should talk things out before I cut people down.

It's a real pain, but apparently that's what's cool.

And I'm striving to become the coolest and strongest swordsman of them all.

What are you on about?

But I accidentally...

already cut you.

Luke! Luke!

Luke!

Hey, Krai!

Did you cut them?!

They're just average guys!

I told you to go easy and use a wooden sword!

I did cut them with a wooden sword.

That's even worse!

It is?!

Help...

Ansem! Please treat them quickly!

Right.

I'm sorry.

I'm always telling Luke to wait before pulling his sword.

I see!

If we just heal 'em, we can enjoy this forever!

You're a genius!

No!

Anyway, I really hope you tried talking things out first.

Yeah.

I did. Really.

Hey, Ansem!

Seriously... what is happening?

Right.

What? A spell to undo the frog transformation?

Not happening. I'm already hopping mad having to turn so many people into frogs.

What?

And that wasn't supposed to be a pun, by the way!

Uh-huh?

S-Seriously?

Besides, you're the one who said, "Turn all the strong people into frogs!"

Well, not that it works on people who are too strong!

Is that what I said?

But, tree frogs?

You know, I really would have preferred toads.

What?!

I mean, it is a witch's spell.

How could it be anything but toads?

You never told me that!

It says right here, in this book you wrote,

"spell to turn people into frogs"!

It's hard enough to pick a target when all you know is how much mana material they have!

Where...

does it...

say toads?!

Where is it? Huh?!

Well, you can reverse it, right?

Just kill them.

Huh? Sorry, what was that?

I said, you'll just have to kill them.

Ti...no?!

See? They turn back if you kill them.

Master! I was so scared!

I thought I'd be a frog forever!

Yup, I know.

I'm so glad, Ti.

Huh?

Ti. Looks like we gotta do frogification training until you stop turning into a frog.

Good luck.

Master! Help me!

How long are you gonna cling to him?!

Grieving Souls...

I'm going to make you all regret not finishing us off.

A lot has happened, but now we go our separate ways.

Yeah.

Thank you all!

Good luck out there.

Same to you!

It was fun. To some degree!

The first part was enough!

The arrest of Barrel, the Cave People, and then the hot spring dragons...

Was this really all due to Thousand Tricks— Krai Andrey's ingenious scheming?

Thank you all for coming.

If only Eliza were here, we'd be complete.

Who cares?!

What happened with the undergroundlings and the dragons?!

Where do I come in?!

You don't.

Damn it!

Luke, you always show up too late.

True.

Right.

Jeez, when we got to the capital, they said you guys went to the hot springs,

and when we rushed over here, we had to clean up this annoying mess...

I wish you'd shown up when those Cave People popped up!

Seriously?!

Jeez! Grrr, argh, blergh!

Lucia, are you all right?!

Ryu-ryu-ryuu?

Grieving Souls, gathered together except for one!

It's been three weeks since they left the capital,

and now their vacation begins in earnest!

Oh, right...

Time to go home, I guess.

They're finally reunited!

By: Grieving Souls! All together

I'm Luke Sykol, Thousand Swords!

I'm Lucia Rogier, Avatar of Creation.

Right!

Right!

Go there, come back, and go again.

Right!

We're finally back in Zebrudia!

Right!

Let's hand out the eggs to our friends!

Right!

The True Tears that only show the truth!

Next time on!

Episode 20

I Want to Hand Out Gifts to Everyone

Let This Grieving Soul...

Right!

...Retire!

"I Want to Hand Out Gifts to Everyone."

Cut! But before that...!

Communication!

Right!
