The long-lasting civil war in Duchy of Missian ended

with Curran executing his younger brother, Basamark.

After their victory against the famed general Borots of Seitz,

Ars and his companions had another growth.

Ars longs for lasting peace,

and resolves to become the Emperor.

But on the other hand,

the war has left deep scars across Canarre.

(As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World Season 3)

(Canarre Castle)

Lord Ars.

Huh? Where is he?

Lord Ars wanted to speak with someone

and thus went to Lamberg.

I see.

(Ars Louvent's Manor)

(The Frontier of Technology)

(Shin Seimallo)

What's that machine?

Oh, it's you, young master.

You came back here?

Money's been flowing in since we won the war,

so my budget increased. I'm grateful for that.

But I've got too many things I want to do, so I'm swamped.

That's good to hear.

I might show you a large airship that can fly.

sooner than you think.

Your technology helped us a lot in this war.

Thanks to you, we were able to defend Canarre.

I know I pushed you to rush the work.

I really appreciate it.

I did a pretty good job, didn't I?

Yes.

Mr. Shin, I'm sorry.

I apologize for asking you to be my vassal

when we first met.

After watching that last battle, I realized

that your technology has the power to change our lives and the nature of warfare.

With such a huge technical impact,

I shouldn't treat you as a vassal,

but as an equal technical expert.

In a faraway place I know of,

people lost control of their technology,

and terrible tragedies occurred.

No matter how brilliant the technology,

if the leaders use it in the wrong way,

it can cause horrifying consequences.

It makes people kill each other.

So if you think it's dangerous, please stop me.

If you think I'm wrong,

you can leave anytime.

Then I won't have the right to use your technology.

But it's my duty to take responsibility for this technology.

My father once told me

to show the true spirit of a warrior.

Before, I thought he meant

being prepared to kill and be killed on the battlefield.

But that's not what he wanted to tell me.

He meant that being a warrior means taking full responsibility for everything.

You have to accept it all, whether it's good or bad.

Taking on that kind of responsibility

might be heavier and more painful than life or death on the battlefield.

But as a lord, I have to bear it all.

I'll take full responsibility as the lord

to make the future more peaceful than it is now.

So, Mr. Shin, about that heavy burden you carry,

could you let me share it with you?

I have a question.

You're willing to pay me and take all responsibility.

Why would you go that far for me?

Because I believe that if your technology keeps advancing,

it will enrich people's lives.

What if I fail?

You should know that better than anyone.

There's no success without failure.

You're right.

You've been on my side since the very beginning.

Alright. My dream won't change.

I'm going to build an airship that can carry people.

And when it's done, you'll be the first one to ride it.

Deal. I'm looking forward to it.

By the way, young master,

I was trying different things the other day

to increase the airship's firepower,

and I stumbled onto this.

If you mix these two together,

it causes a violent explosion.

Mr. Shin?

See?

This would make mining manastones a lot easier.

(Bandits)

Look, there are signs of life.

The bandits must be holed up in this area.

Find and capture them.

With the strength of the Canarre Army,

they aren't much of a threat.

Yes.

What?

Enemy!

Prepare for battle!

What was that?

Where are they?

Where are they attacking from?

I… I can't see them.

You can't see them?

I can't see the enemy!

(Episode 30: Fujimiya)

Mr. Rietz, I'm back.

Lord Ars, welcome back.

I'm sorry to bother you as soon as you return,

but I have something to report.

Bandits?

The fortress we were defending was attacked.

We sent soldiers into the mountains to pursue them.

Although they found a likely hiding spot,

they were ambushed.

We couldn't see the enemy.

Before we knew it, our men were taken down.

They couldn't be seen?

Yes.

We heard noises, so we were on high alert,

but we didn't see anyone.

The entire unit we sent was eliminated.

Does that mean

they use shadow magic like Mr. Famme?

It's too early to say for sure,

but it feels different from magic.

They seem to have now taken over a castle on the Canarre border.

I think we need to act quickly.

Where's Rosell?

He's away handling diplomatic affairs.

I see.

I understand.

Let's deal with this quickly.

(Foreigners) They must be the rumored bandit group.

(Foreigners) Yeah, they look

pretty suspicious.

I told you, we're not some bandit group.

I've said it countless times.

Then what's with those weird outfits?

They look suspicious enough to me!

And besides,

the man behind you is carrying a very expensive-looking sword.

Do you have any proof you're not with that bandit group?

We don't have that kind of thing.

Then shut up and come with me for questioning.

Don't touch me, you insolent fool!

Even more suspicious.

You have to be the bandits.

Everyone, what's all this commotion about?

L-Lord Ars!

Do you want to arrest us too?

What?

Enough.

If you don't move, we'll force our way through.

Takao.

Get up.

Take them all down.

W-What was that fighting style?

I've never seen anything like it.

Mr. Rietz!

Hey. Calm down.

You always jump to violence so easily.

I-I'm sorry, brother.

Maika, you too.

Go apologize.

But I did that because I thought they were a threat.

I'm very sorry.

No, we are sorry too.

That's an unusual style of dress in Missian.

Who exactly are you people?

We're travelers who have arrived here recently.

Since we're in an unfamiliar place,

we were a bit on edge.

We're very sorry.

I heard the bandits showed up over a month ago.

I don't think these people are involved.

Well, if you say so…

(Maika Fujimiya, Aged 17) Very high Intellect.

(Armorer A, Tactician S) And an S-rank Tactician aptitude.

She's fit to be a tactician.

(Takao Fujimiya, Aged 16) This person's Prowess stat is incredible.

His Fighter, Cavalier, and Archer aptitudes are also high.

He'd be unstoppable on the battlefield.

They're completely different types,

but their abilities are both exceptional.

As for this man here…

(Rikuya Fujimiya, Aged 18) All of his stats are above average.

(Fighter B, Cavalier B, Archer B) A balanced skill set.

(Engineer B, Tactician B) He's a versatile all-rounder.

He's a versatile all-rounder.

All three of them are exceptional talents.

(Born June 20, Imperial Year 194, Yohkoku Tento) They all share the same last name.

(Born February 1, Imperial Year 195, Yohkoku Tento) Are they siblings?

(Born April 13, Imperial Year 196, Yohkoku Tento) They're all from the neighboring continent of Yohkoku.

Is that why they're wearing those oriental-style clothes?

Uh…

We're sorry for causing trouble.

Maika, Takao, let's go.

Wait!

Who exactly are you?

Didn't I tell you?

We're just ordinary travelers.

Can I have a word with you?

Wait. - Leave us alone.

Please, wait!

(As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World Season 3)

Are you the lord who governs this land?

I suppose I am.

This is the Lord of the County of Canarre.

Lord Ars Louvent.

I should be the one apologizing.

Sorry for the trouble we caused you.

With the bandit group, the town is on edge.

Is that why you came into town?

May I ask you one thing?

Why would a royal go out without guards?

A royal?

Why would you think that?

The decoration on that sword you're carrying

looks like a rare blue diamond.

As for blue diamonds,

on the continent of Yohkoku,

only the royal family can wear them.

That means you're a member of the royal family.

What is Yohkoku's royal family doing in Canarre?

That's right.

This sword is the Fujimiya family's heirloom,

the Ryuzetsuto.

A famed sword said to have once slain a dragon.

Slain a dragon?

Brother.

It's fine. We can't fool them.

We're sorry for lying about being travelers.

I am the current head of the Fujimiya family that rules Yohkoku.

Rikuya Fujimiya.

The King of Yohkoku?

So, you're an Emperor from another continent?

Why would an Emperor be in an inn in Canarre?

Because of the rebellion a year ago, right?

A rebellion?

Yes.

I heard a rebellion in Yohkoku caused the royal family to lose power.

I didn't expect there to be survivors.

We were driven out of our country,

and eventually made our way to the Summerforth Empire.

To return home and reclaim power,

we've been seeking help from powerful figures.

But even the ones we'd worked with in the past

have turned us down.

That's why I told you to sell that sword for cash.

We don't even have any funds.

Who's gonna help us fight a losing battle?

Our money is about to run out.

At this rate, our very survival is at risk.

I'm sorry, Maika.

This sword is the symbol of Yohkoku's sovereignty.

Without it, I can't prove I am the king.

If we can't go back, keeping it is pointless.

Anyway, that's the situation.

Yohkoku might have sent assassins after us,

so we can't just reveal our identities.

I see, so that's what's going on.

I had no idea. I'm truly sorry.

No, please don't worry about it.

So, since you're a lord,

could you introduce us to the Duke?

It's hard for us to get help on our own.

Of course.

It's fate that brought you here.

We'll help with anything we can.

Let us help you out.

Brother, I'm hungry.

Me too, brother.

We haven't had a decent meal in days.

P-Please come to Canarre Castle.

If you don't mind, would you like to join us for dinner?

We'd be most grateful.

A feast after so long. I can't wait.

Can we eat as much as we want?

We are guests, after all.

I'm sure we don't have to hold back.

Takao, this is great!

Sister.

Are you sure it's okay?

Absolutely.

And please, tell me more about Yohkoku.

Thank you very much.

Time for a feast!

I'll make sure dinner is extra lavish.

Is something wrong?

No.

Was I imagining that presence?

I caught a faint whiff of blood.

Whoa, no way.

I thought I could catch you off guard.

You're a real monster.

Get into your room.

Nice job, Takao! Take him down!

Darn it.

A-Amazing.

He overpowered an invisible enemy.

He subdued them in an instant.

Who are you people?

You're using magical tools, aren't you?

I've read about magical tools that can make you invisible.

The bandits terrorizing the town can turn invisible too.

In other words, you're that bandit group.

Even if you figure it out, it's too late now.

Mr. Rietz!

Lord Ars!

Brother!

Hold. Don't move.

Drop your weapons.

Obey and I won't kill them.

Just as I thought, it's a fine sword.

Will it fetch a good price?

It's a weird shape,

but we should find a buyer quickly.

I had my eye on it the moment I saw it in the street.

Well, we got the sword,

but what about them?

What do you mean? The people from Yohkoku are rare.

Let's sell them as slaves.

Oh no.

I've dragged the Fujimiya family into Canarre's affairs.

That face…

I think I've seen it somewhere before.

Um, we're…

A merchant family's

young master and his slave.

This is great. Looks like we can get a huge ransom.

Boss wants to see you, leader.

I'll be right there.

Lord Ars!

I'm so sorry!

As your closest aide,

this is an unforgivable blunder.

How can I ever make amends?

It's my own fault for being careless.

Please don't blame yourself.

But…

Brother, what do we do?

Ars has been captured?

What do you mean?

Was no one on watch?

You're his guards!

It's not what you think.

We had every entrance sealed off,

but invisible enemies attacked us.

We couldn't fight back.

Invisible enemies? Is that true?

Yes.

Could it be connected to that bandit group?

A-Anyway, we need to rescue him right away.

Where's Rosell?

He's at the port handling diplomatic affairs.

Then who's going to come up with a plan?

It's fine.

Let's just charge in and take them out.

Um, Lady Licia, are you alright?

Mr. Braham.

Dispatch an elite squad to the enemy's hideout immediately.

I want you to command the unit.

Yes.

Mr. Zat, you'll join as his adjutant.

Yes.

I've been waiting for a chance to deal with those scumbags.

This is a perfect opportunity.

If they let Lord Ars get hurt,

I'll wipe their whole group out.

Lady Licia is usually so gentle,

but when it comes to Lord Ars, she's terrifying.

Well, she really loves Ars.

You two, no chit-chatting.

Formulate the strategy, now.
