00:30It's because of Masato! He got me most of the materials I needed to make everything up!
00:35That doesn't surprise me. When it comes to finding money and resources, there's nobody I'd rather have on the case.
00:41Yes, he truly is amazing!
00:47I'm sorry! What was it you were about to say?
00:50It wasn't that important. You seem tired. You really should get some rest.
00:55But you came by for a reason. What was it you wanted to talk about?
01:00I just wanted to check on you. I was worried you might be pushing yourself too hard.
01:05Oh, well, in that case...
01:07She can barely stay awake!
01:10I'll make sure to get more sleep.
01:12Good.
01:17Ringo's not the only one who's worried about Masato.
01:21Ringo's not the only one pushing herself too hard.
01:24We're all getting exhausted from this unfamiliar lifestyle.
01:28Huh?
01:30It feels like snow.
01:33I wonder if that's going to make things more difficult for the merchant,
01:36with all the commotion he's causing in Dormant these days.
01:39Pretty soon, it's going to be too cold to do this outdoors.
01:42I like it when the snow falls!
01:44We get to have snowball fights!
01:46I like it when the snow falls!
01:48We get to have snowball fights!
01:49Just make sure you're all bundled up first.
01:51Right!
01:53Interesting.
01:59We're not going to let those outsiders mess around with us anymore!
02:02Forget about the profit! Buy up all the merchandise that's available out there!
02:07Yes, sir!
02:10With all our capital, we'll crush that puny trading company before it even gets established.
02:15They're going to regret going up against me.
02:17I can hold out as long as it takes.
02:20I have some bad news, sir!
02:22What's the problem?
02:23We tried to buy everything!
02:25But the suppliers, they wouldn't sell to us!
02:28Huh?
02:29What?!
02:31I came down here to see for myself!
02:34What's going on?
02:35Have you people lost your minds?
02:39What?
02:40Wait!
02:41I know who you are!
02:42How very perceptive of you.
02:44These are the traveling merchants you laid off.
02:46After you monopolized trade at the port, you fired these people who brought in the business,
02:51so you could cut labor costs.
02:53You forced the villagers to bring their goods in person,
02:56while making them cover the costs of transportation and handling.
02:59That was a mistake.
03:01You treated these buyers like garbage, like they were completely disposable.
03:05Since you discarded them, we've organized them as part of our company.
03:09What? Are you serious?
03:11Yeah. It's pretty simple.
03:13Our company signed an exclusive three-year contract with these traveling merchants.
03:17Do you understand what that means?
03:20All of their wares were purchased by the Elm Trading Company
03:23before they appeared in the market you used to control.
03:28You can sit here until the oceans dry up,
03:31but you're never going to get any merchandise to sell.
03:34Wait! Don't listen to him! He's deceiving you!
03:37Our company will buy your goods for more than he can ever offer you!
03:41It's a much better deal, and you can still sell your stuff to us!
03:44The people at Elm already warned us that you'd offer to pay more for our stock than what they could afford.
03:50Yeah, that's right. We knew your play, and we went with them instead.
03:54That's insane! What for?
03:56Isn't it obvious? Because none of us wanted to sell to you.
04:00What?
04:02We risk our lives hauling these goods all around the country.
04:05We refuse to put ourselves in danger for someone who turns around and fires us over his crappy accounting.
04:10Now you come and say you're willing to buy our goods for more.
04:13But once this trade war's finally over, you'll go right back to paying on the cheap.
04:18No! That's not true! I'll pay you what your wares are really worth!
04:22I'm sorry for the way I've behaved in the past. Forgive me.
04:27You're way too late. We just don't trust you anymore.
04:34Ya-Koi, you've learned an important lesson.
04:37What's most important to a business isn't money. It's trust.
04:41As long as you have that trust, you can always earn money again.
04:45You chose to simply throw it away.
04:47You discarded the relationship you'd established with the merchants and the villagers just for a little extra cash.
04:52As a result, your business now has no future. You've killed it with your own hands.
04:58I can't believe this. He actually crushed Noitchaland within a week.
05:04I have to tell you, though. It would be wrong to let your company be destroyed.
05:09It doesn't matter if it's Helm or Noitchaland.
05:12Bottom line, it's just not healthy for any one business to monopolize the market.
05:16So why don't those of us here have a little chat?
05:19Let's come up with a solution.
05:21Let's discuss the future of trade and the economy here in Dormont and the territory of Fyndalf.
05:26Really?
05:28Sure. But we plan on taking advantage of you, so you'd better bring your A-game to the table.
05:34Of course. I'll do that.
05:47Hey, why didn't you destroy Noitchaland like you said you would?
05:52Because there were more drawbacks to crushing them than there were in letting them go.
05:56What kind of drawbacks?
05:57For starters, we couldn't keep that many traveling merchants employed.
06:01I always intended to give them back to Noitchaland once Yakoi's determination to break us was resolved.
06:06Wait, you're saying our contracts with the merchants were no good?
06:09Yeah, they were just empty promises.
06:12You're telling me this after you spent all that time talking about trust?
06:16You didn't mean any of that? You're really a bad person, aren't you?
06:21Now you're catching on.
06:23In the world I come from, I'm a merchant known as the Demon Lord.
06:28Demon Lord!
06:29We finally found you, you little brat!
06:32You two! What are you doing walking around with someone else's property?
06:37Property?
06:42That brat is our slave. She ran away from our ship. Now we're gonna take her back.
06:48Hey!
06:49What? We got a problem here?
06:53Just a minute.
06:56Rue, should I save you?
06:59Teacher! Yes!
07:12One day, you'll see. I'm going to become a really good merchant.
07:18I'll make lots of money, and then I'll use it to buy back my mommy and daddy.
07:27But after that, all the money I have left over, I'm gonna give it to you.
07:31I promise I will. You won't be sorry you took a chance.
07:35So, teacher, will you do it?
07:40Please! Save Rue and buy me right now!
07:43What are you babbling about, you little brat?
07:48That was beautiful. Well said.
07:51I'd like to buy this slave at 100 times the market price.
07:55What? Really?
07:57Do you have a problem with that?
07:59If you change your mind, you're not getting a refund.
08:02Fine. Our business is done here.
08:06The courage and willpower you displayed is a thousand times more valuable than the money I just spent.
08:14Thank you so much!
08:18What a bunch of fools. They'll regret this.
08:21They just gave up a priceless treasure for a handful of coins.
08:26I'm sorry, Elk. All our money. I just spent it without asking.
08:30You don't have to apologize.
08:32If there's one thing I've learned from you, it's that we can always earn more.
08:36I'm the village treasurer. You'd think I'd have known.
08:40Spending money on something like this sure feels good.
08:44I know what you mean.
08:46This is the reason I'm so attracted to this stuff.
08:52It was a huge victory for Masato and the trading company.
08:57That's the Demon Lord for you.
08:59There's a reason the merchant is known as an economic mastermind.
09:02I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, too.
09:05It's lots of fun.
09:06I have to tell you, Tsukasa.
09:08There are so many stories to follow here.
09:10It's exactly where I belong.
09:12So now, those inquiries you asked about?
09:15Here's what I was able to come up with.
09:17Regarding the magic, there are four types of spirits.
09:20Fire, water, strong winds, and earth.
09:24They're all tied to natural phenomena.
09:26Communicating with them seems to allow miracles to occur.
09:29But people who can use magic are scarce.
09:32In the region of Findolf, the only one who's adept is the mage officer living in the lord's castle.
09:38Got it.
09:39What about magic capable of crossing worlds or summoning someone from another world?
09:43I don't know yet. I'm still researching.
09:46There isn't much information on that since magic itself is so rare to begin with.
09:51Well, just gaining an understanding of their concept of magic is progress.
09:55Thanks a lot.
09:56Me, me. You're welcome.
09:58Oh, by the way.
10:00On that other subject, it looks like we're out of luck on the seven heroes thing.
10:04What? What do you mean?
10:06Well, the only connection I found that might be related to them is a religion known as the Seven Light Faith.
10:13I don't think I've heard of that before. Interesting.
10:16Yeah. But from what I was able to uncover in my research,
10:19the Seven Light Faith was destroyed several centuries ago by the Freyja Guard Empire.
10:24It wasn't just the Seven Light Faith, either.
10:27They were one of many.
10:29All of the religions that used to exist on this continent were targeted, undermined, and eventually destroyed.
10:35Freyja Guard's policy of survival of the fittest was ruthless and effective.
10:40In the end, it didn't allow for any gods to be placed above the Empire.
10:44Religious oppression by the state.
10:46I carefully checked all the villages surrounding Dormant to be sure.
10:50But not only were there no religions, they didn't even have records of any.
10:54I see. However, that's still our only clue as to how to return to our world.
10:59Maybe it's been hidden. We'll have to search for it no matter what it takes.
11:03I hear ya. We have a small logistical problem, though.
11:08You can't just move around freely.
11:10People need a travel permit signed by Marquis Findolf in order to leave the territory we're in right now.
11:16And Marquis Findolf turns out to be nasty. He's one hell of a shitty bastard.
11:21There are a few of those around here.
11:23Tsukasa, come see!
11:25We were able to finish it!
11:27Woohoo! It's very nice!
11:29Done? What's done?
11:32I finally did something to help the village. I created a public facility for everyone.
11:37Really? What kind of public facility?
11:45This is just heaven, isn't it?
11:48A public bathhouse. Something the village didn't know it needed.
11:53What a great idea.
11:54Never seen anything like it.
11:56If I wear something like this, I can relax with my friends. Isn't that right?
12:00Absolutely.
12:02You know, Ringo, if you're uncomfortable, you don't have to do this.
12:08I'll be fine.
12:09Hey! There you are, Leroy. Where were you?
12:12I went off to get this. It looked like Tsukasa injured his hand during the construction.
12:17Yes, I did. I was doing work I'm not used to.
12:24What is this?
12:25It's a salve that we make from horse oil.
12:30It's something we've used here for years.
12:32Applying it to the wound will ease the pain and help it heal faster.
12:36I see. Thank you. That's sweet.
12:42Guys! We've got trouble!
12:44Some of the villagers ran into a monster! Something called Chief of the Forest!
12:49Huh?
12:57It's got a large heat signature! It's 500 meters ahead!
13:09Masato!
13:11Look! Everybody came out to greet us. I'm sensing nervous energy.
13:16Something bad must have happened.
13:36She's... all alone!
13:38You don't need to worry about her. How's everyone else?
13:42No...
13:44It's bad, Mayor Olga.
14:05So you're the Chief of the Forest.
14:12He... he stopped breathing a minute ago.
14:15We're not too late. If he only just stopped, he should be fine.
14:19Tell me, Keine. Am I right?
14:22Oh, yes. I can bring him back.
14:26Ugh!
14:38The fifth through tenth ribs on the left side are all broken.
14:41There are severe abdominal lacerations.
14:44A significant section of the colon has been ruptured, and everything below the diaphragm has been exposed.
14:49He's passed out from hemorrhagic shock.
14:51He's now in cardiac arrest.
14:54Okay, okay. I don't anticipate any problems.
14:59This shouldn't take more than an hour or so.
15:23Come on!
15:54She's... incredible!
15:57She's nearly done. She's sealing up the wound.
16:01Damaged organs repaired.
16:04Surgical treatment complete. Liquid oxygen injected.
16:08Now commencing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
16:24Ugh!
16:31Treatment has been successfully completed.
16:36He should be up in two to three days. He'll make a full recovery.
16:45It's a miracle.
16:47Good work.
16:49But the truth is, it hardly even counts as work.
16:52Right? Don't you agree, Allie?
16:54Completely. It couldn't have been easier.
16:59All right, guys. Time to return to Elm Village.
17:02They should be back here soon. I'm sure it's all under control.
17:11Now what?
17:15Worthless!
17:17Worthless peasants, bow your heads!
17:21Before you stands the captain of Marquis Findolf's Guardian Knights!
17:25You will pay tribute to the Silver Knight, Nzagi!
17:30What a loudmouth.
17:31Oh, brother.
17:35This village reeks of privation.
17:37Go and seize them.
17:40Huh?
17:45You are all suspected of committing treason against the state.
17:49Huh? What are you talking about?
17:51We have testimony that you all used illegal means to acquire gold coins within these lands.
17:56Illegal? We earned that money doing business according to the rules.
18:00Is it proof you need? I'm happy to show you our business permit and account ledger.
18:04Don't bother.
18:05It's illegal for vulgar peasants such as yourselves to even touch gold.
18:10As you can see, every gold coin is engraved with the Dragon Crest of the Freagard Empire.
18:15Allowing your filthy hands to touch the royal image is forbidden.
18:18The mere act is considered treason against the state.
18:21Marquis Findolf, the lord of these lands, is highly offended by the reports he has received.
18:26Are we even allowed to defend ourselves?
18:28Hold your tongue, you peasant. Our noble words are law.
18:32Should we tell you to live, then you shall live.
18:35And if, in our mercy, we decide you should die, then you must accept your fate.
18:39We have an order directly from Lord Findolf.
18:42A traitor who doesn't know his place in our world shall be burned at the stake.
18:46Please, no!
18:48What are we going to do?
18:55What? Where is everybody?
18:58We've looked all over. We can't find them.
19:00There's not a trace anywhere.
19:02You don't think they're in that fire, do you?
19:05We'll have to find out. Any volunteers?
19:08Yes!
19:09Don't do it! Charging into a burning building won't help. It's suicide!
19:13But what else can we do?
19:15Don't panic. There was someone with them who's a world-renowned escape artist.
19:19He's gotten out of coffins that were welded shut.
19:22And I did it again!
19:24Now, behold! The captives have returned!
19:31We're okay!
19:33Oh, Elk, you're unharmed.
19:35Yes, thanks to him.
19:37He's really amazing.
19:42You did well, Akatsuki. It's fortunate for these people you were here.
19:46Yeah, close call.
19:48We have a problem, Tsukasa. A big one.
19:51The ones who attacked us called themselves the Guardian Knights.
19:55They said their orders came directly from their lord.
19:58Wait a minute. That would have to be Marquis Findolf, wouldn't it?
20:18We need to find Leroy. She's missing.
20:48You
