King Grey : Xyrus Academy. |
(0:00:03.29) |
King Grey : It's famous for having produced scholars, entrepreneurs, |
(0:00:05.58) |
King Grey : royal guards, public leaders, and military officers. |
(0:00:08.72) |
King Grey : A prestigious institution |
(0:00:15.70) |
King Grey : where all children who pursue magic in this kingdom seek to learn. |
(0:00:17.08) |
King Grey : And now... |
(0:00:21.50) |
King Grey : here I am, encountering the director who holds all authority |
(0:00:23.80) |
King Grey : at this incredibly well-accredited school. |
(0:00:26.54) |
Arthur Leywin : Okay. |
(0:00:40.72) |
King Grey : I can sense an incredible power; |
(0:02:30.65) |
King Grey : the kind you would expect from the director of the most famed magic school in the nation. |
(0:02:33.01) |
King Grey : I suppose if I show off a little, it should prove that Vincent wasn't lying. |
(0:02:38.02) |
King Grey : First... |
(0:02:43.91) |
King Grey : I'll use wind element magic. |
(0:02:45.77) |
King Grey : How's that? |
(0:02:52.27) |
Arthur Leywin : Wha— |
(0:02:56.78) |
King Grey : I'm still not getting as much firepower with wind as I do with fire and water. |
(0:02:58.25) |
Arthur Leywin : In that case... |
(0:03:03.16) |
Arthur Leywin : She defended?! |
(0:03:12.12) |
King Grey : A wall of wind? |
(0:03:25.49) |
King Grey : The element of sound?! |
(0:04:00.47) |
King Grey : Is she some sort of unique sorcerer?! |
(0:04:04.91) |
King Grey : She's as sharp as I'd expect. |
(0:04:27.53) |
Arthur Leywin : Well... there's water. |
(0:04:29.66) |
King Grey : She's seen right through me. |
(0:04:40.51) |
Arthur Leywin : You're right. |
(0:04:42.92) |
Arthur Leywin : I'm here because I need the influence and authority that you possess. |
(0:04:45.09) |
Arthur Leywin : I want to use them to protect my family. |
(0:04:51.18) |
Arthur Leywin : If you're willing to share them with me, I'll enroll at the academy, |
(0:04:55.62) |
Arthur Leywin : and revere you as a teacher whom I owe everything. |
(0:04:59.18) |
Arthur Leywin : I am. I believe what I'm offering is worth your while. |
(0:05:12.18) |
Arthur Leywin : And I think you'll feel the same way. |
(0:05:16.40) |
Arthur Leywin : That said, if I'm going to enroll, |
(0:05:21.27) |
Arthur Leywin : I think it should be when I'm the same age as the other children. |
(0:05:23.60) |
Arthur Leywin : Because I want to live my life to the fullest. |
(0:05:34.77) |
Arthur Leywin : I want to become an adventurer, and learn all about this world. |
(0:05:38.81) |
Arthur Leywin : There'll be time for the academy after that. |
(0:05:42.99) |
Arthur Leywin : No, I was going to after this. |
(0:05:51.75) |
Alice Leywin : No! Absolutely not! Inconceivable! |
(0:06:01.90) |
King Grey : Afterwards, I used Vincent as an intermediary to tell Alice and Reynolds about my powers, |
(0:06:06.17) |
King Grey : and how I want to become an adventurer. |
(0:06:12.81) |
Alice Leywin : We only just got him back! And now we're talking about him doing something so dangerous?! |
(0:06:16.15) |
King Grey : I should have told them myself. |
(0:06:16.61) |
Alice Leywin : No. There is no way. Over my dead body! |
(0:06:21.27) |
Reynolds Leywin : Alice, let's at least hear him out. |
(0:06:25.35) |
Alice Leywin : I can't believe you'd say that, knowing how much we've been through already! |
(0:06:29.42) |
Alice Leywin : Don't you feel the same way?! |
(0:06:34.51) |
Reynolds Leywin : Well, I've been thinking about it. |
(0:06:39.09) |
Reynolds Leywin : What if Arthur went with someone to protect him? |
(0:06:41.68) |
Alice Leywin : No way. Reynolds, you can't be seriously considering this, can you? |
(0:06:45.83) |
Alice Leywin : Our son is too young to be off on a journey! |
(0:06:50.30) |
Arthur Leywin : It wouldn't be a journey. I'd be returning home every few months, |
(0:06:54.41) |
Arthur Leywin : and if you want, I can even make it more frequent than that. |
(0:06:58.71) |
Alice Leywin : You mean it? |
(0:07:03.37) |
Arthur Leywin : I do. I promise. |
(0:07:04.37) |
Eleanor Leywin : Big brother, you're leaving soon? |
(0:07:07.82) |
Arthur Leywin : Not at all! Not for a while, still. |
(0:07:11.02) |
Eleanor Leywin : Okay, then. |
(0:07:15.09) |
Arthur Leywin : Mom, I don't intend on leaving right away. |
(0:07:16.85) |
Arthur Leywin : I was looking forward to coming to home a lot. |
(0:07:20.80) |
Alice Leywin : In that case... |
(0:07:24.72) |
Arthur Leywin : But I want to see more of the Dicathen Continent. |
(0:07:26.24) |
Arthur Leywin : There's too much that I don't know. |
(0:07:30.34) |
Arthur Leywin : And besides... |
(0:07:33.09) |
Arthur Leywin : I want to feel the same things you did when you were adventurers. |
(0:07:35.84) |
Alice Leywin : That's your reason? |
(0:07:43.19) |
Arthur Leywin : Yeah. |
(0:07:45.28) |
King Grey : Staying here simply to train would be dull. |
(0:07:46.87) |
King Grey : I wasn't willing to tell them about my desire to use the techniques I've obtained |
(0:07:51.03) |
King Grey : to test how strong I am. |
(0:07:54.75) |
Alice Leywin : You still haven't told us about your different elements. |
(0:07:56.64) |
Alice Leywin : Come on, Arthur. No more secrets. |
(0:08:00.74) |
Arthur Leywin : Right. |
(0:08:04.49) |
King Grey : What Alice said struck me through the heart. |
(0:08:05.71) |
King Grey : If only I could truly share everything with them... |
(0:08:08.75) |
Reynolds Leywin : It's only natural that your mom worries. |
(0:08:15.66) |
Reynolds Leywin : Danger goes hand-in-hand with being an adventurer. |
(0:08:18.45) |
Reynolds Leywin : Your mother might've interrupted me before, but this is what I think: |
(0:08:21.64) |
Reynolds Leywin : What if we sent Arthur out with someone we can trust? |
(0:08:27.15) |
Reynolds Leywin : So, is anyone up for the job? |
(0:08:33.65) |
Adam Krensh : Sorry, but I have to pass. |
(0:08:36.68) |
Adam Krensh : Babysitting isn't my thing. |
(0:08:40.07) |
Adam Krensh : And I can picture Arthur killing me in my sleep one night. |
(0:08:42.16) |
Helen Shard : I know what you mean. You're rude enough to warrant it. |
(0:08:46.79) |
Reynolds Leywin : True. |
(0:08:50.24) |
Alice Leywin : She's right. |
(0:08:52.08) |
Angela Rose : Yeah. Plus, he's just plain unpleasant. |
(0:08:54.62) |
Durden Walker : At times, yeah. |
(0:08:57.28) |
Adam Krensh : What the hell?! |
(0:08:58.94) |
Helen Shard : You're the one who said it! |
(0:09:00.19) |
Arthur Leywin : I wouldn't do that. |
(0:09:01.99) |
Reynolds Leywin : To be honest, it's not like there's much I can offer in return. |
(0:09:05.80) |
Reynolds Leywin : But if you do go with him, I'll do whatever I can to repay you. |
(0:09:09.44) |
Durden Walker : Don't make it sound like that. |
(0:09:12.98) |
Durden Walker : Being able to watch out for Arthur as he grows up would be great for us, too. |
(0:09:14.89) |
Helen Shard : Durden's right. |
(0:09:19.33) |
Jasmine Flamesworth : I volunteer. |
(0:09:23.22) |
Angela Rose : Jasmine? I thought you preferred working alone even more than Adam? |
(0:09:26.77) |
Jasmine Flamesworth : It's for Arthur's sake. |
(0:09:33.34) |
Reynolds Leywin : I see. I was kind of hoping it'd be Helen or Durden, |
(0:09:35.36) |
Reynolds Leywin : but when I think about it, in terms of combat skills, Jasmine might be the best choice. |
(0:09:42.38) |
Reynolds Leywin : Durden is best suited |
(0:09:47.36) |
Reynolds Leywin : to protecting a group with spells that affect a large area. |
(0:09:49.12) |
Helen Shard : Protecting people really isn't my strong suit, either. |
(0:09:52.79) |
Alice Leywin : Jasmine, are you sure you don't mind? |
(0:09:56.12) |
Adam Krensh : Looks like we've got a winner, then. |
(0:10:00.66) |
Adam Krensh : When you consider she's an augmenter who can use elements, |
(0:10:03.59) |
Adam Krensh : and that she hit light orange last year, |
(0:10:07.87) |
Adam Krensh : plus her wind magic skills, she really does seem suited for the job. |
(0:10:10.67) |
Durden Walker : Agreed. I would've liked to have gone along too, but... |
(0:10:13.48) |
King Grey : There's always next time, Durden. |
(0:10:17.88) |
Durden Walker : Thanks, Reynolds. |
(0:10:20.53) |
Arthur Leywin : I'm grateful, and I look forward to working with you. |
(0:10:22.92) |
King Grey : Well, that's one less thing to worry about. |
(0:10:29.82) |
King Grey : It looks like Lilia is now capable of meditating without me projecting mana for her. |
(0:10:38.99) |
Lillia Helstea : I know. I'm sorry. |
(0:10:45.38) |
King Grey : Eleanor will likely awaken at 7 or 8 years old. |
(0:10:47.01) |
King Grey : Assuming she has the perseverance to keep working at it. |
(0:10:51.43) |
Lillia Helstea : You wanna practice together, then? |
(0:10:55.23) |
King Grey : That said, it might be better for her to not awaken too young. |
(0:10:58.26) |
King Grey : I'd be worried if she started drawing too much attention. |
(0:11:02.00) |
Arthur Leywin : Dad, can I head over to the auction house? |
(0:11:05.26) |
Arthur Leywin : I want to pick out a sword. |
(0:11:09.06) |
King Grey : Yeah, of course. |
(0:11:10.57) |
Vincent Helstea : I see. You wan t a sword to use for the adventurer's guild entrance exam. |
(0:11:13.77) |
Vincent Helstea : Feel free to look around. |
(0:11:18.36) |
Arthur Leywin : Thank you. |
(0:11:20.07) |
Vincent Helstea : You've decided to become an adventurer, then? |
(0:11:21.95) |
Arthur Leywin : Yes. |
(0:11:25.51) |
Alice Leywin : Arthur is late. |
(0:11:36.17) |
Alice Leywin : Should we go pick him up? |
(0:11:38.66) |
King Grey : He's very serious about the choices he's making. Let's be patient. |
(0:11:40.67) |
Alice Leywin : You've got a point. |
(0:11:47.41) |
Arthur Leywin : This is unbelievable. Such a huge selection of swords, and I don't want any of them. |
(0:11:54.28) |
Arthur Leywin : Not this one. |
(0:12:01.82) |
Arthur Leywin : Or this. |
(0:12:03.32) |
King Grey : It may be because the majority of soldiers in this world are augmenters. |
(0:12:04.97) |
King Grey : As a result, the majority of swords are either two-handers or bigger one-handers. |
(0:12:09.02) |
King Grey : A sword I can use with this small body... |
(0:12:13.66) |
King Grey : ...is proving elusive. |
(0:12:18.17) |
Arthur Leywin : Sylvie? |
(0:12:20.82) |
Arthur Leywin : Did you find something? |
(0:12:21.92) |
Arthur Leywin : A staff? That's not what I'm looking for. |
(0:12:26.37) |
Arthur Leywin : Fine. |
(0:12:31.51) |
Arthur Leywin : This is heavy! |
(0:12:34.35) |
King Grey : The weight is too unbalanced for it to be a staff. |
(0:12:36.38) |
King Grey : It feels more like a sword. |
(0:12:39.61) |
King Grey : Could it require the use of an element? |
(0:12:45.25) |
King Grey : I doubt it, but... |
(0:12:50.08) |
King Grey : It's worth trying. |
(0:12:53.08) |
Arthur Leywin : No way. |
(0:13:03.70) |
Arthur Leywin : This shouldn't be. |
(0:13:06.81) |
King Grey : What a beautiful sword. |
(0:13:16.66) |
King Grey : It's more striking than any weapon should be. |
(0:13:19.41) |
King Grey : It's still a bit too heavy to make great use of, but... |
(0:13:25.73) |
Arthur Leywin : Sorry about this, Mr. Helstea. |
(0:13:31.31) |
Arthur Leywin : This sword... |
(0:13:42.62) |
King Grey : "Dawn's Ballad W.K. IV." |
(0:13:46.48) |
King Grey : What could that mean? |
(0:13:51.18) |
Arthur Leywin : I'm okay. It's nothing. |
(0:13:57.99) |
King Grey : The weight and balance have changed. |
(0:14:02.30) |
King Grey : Not only that, but the handle and grip are now a length perfectly suited to this body. |
(0:14:09.55) |
Arthur Leywin : I know, Sylvie. You hit the jackpot. |
(0:14:16.26) |
King Grey : In my past life, any number of incredible swords passed through my hands, |
(0:14:21.37) |
King Grey : yet never once did I find any of them as perfect a fit as this one. |
(0:14:24.95) |
King Grey : This does remind me of a story I heard. |
(0:14:36.47) |
King Grey : There was once an expert craftsman who made a scepter for a single individual, |
(0:14:40.95) |
King Grey : that practically became an extension of them. |
(0:14:43.76) |
King Grey : But that involved the owner infusing it with mana. |
(0:14:46.53) |
King Grey : The idea of a weapon adjusting itself to its wielder is unheard of. |
(0:14:50.25) |
King Grey : W.K. IV. Who could that be? |
(0:14:56.21) |
King Grey : Arthur, time to head home. |
(0:15:00.05) |
King Grey : Alice is at home making dinner. |
(0:15:02.38) |
Arthur Leywin : One second! |
(0:15:04.88) |
Arthur Leywin : I'll take this. |
(0:15:09.92) |
King Grey : So, you found one that you liked. |
(0:15:11.26) |
Arthur Leywin : It's not as fancy as the other swords, but I swung it around and took a liking to it. |
(0:15:14.77) |
King Grey : It's a little off-balance. Maybe the craftsman tried to make it lighter. |
(0:15:23.94) |
King Grey : But that might be perfect for you, Arthur. |
(0:15:28.33) |
King Grey : What do you say, Vincent? |
(0:15:31.48) |
Vincent Helstea : As long as Arthur's happy, I'm good. |
(0:15:33.68) |
Arthur Leywin : Thank you. |
(0:15:36.59) |
Vincent Helstea : What's that staff around your waist? |
(0:15:39.73) |
Vincent Helstea : Huh... |
(0:15:42.41) |
Arthur Leywin : Have to act normal. |
(0:15:45.09) |
Arthur Leywin : I saw it on the floor. It felt sturdy and about the right weight when I picked it up, |
(0:15:47.64) |
Arthur Leywin : so I was thinking about using it during practice. |
(0:15:52.35) |
Vincent Helstea : I didn't know we had something like that. |
(0:15:54.89) |
Vincent Helstea : Jameson, can you check the inventory? |
(0:15:57.63) |
Vincent Helstea : I see. |
(0:16:21.70) |
Arthur Leywin : W-Well... |
(0:16:26.30) |
Arthur Leywin : If it's valuable, then I'm sorry... |
(0:16:27.87) |
Arthur Leywin : But I like how it feels, and I was hoping to keep it. |
(0:16:30.71) |
Arthur Leywin : Uncle Vincent. |
(0:16:35.91) |
Vincent Helstea : You don't need to apologize! |
(0:16:38.84) |
Vincent Helstea : It was just gathering dust anyway! |
(0:16:41.10) |
Vincent Helstea : Take it with you! |
(0:16:43.26) |
Arthur Leywin : Thanks, Uncle Vincent! |
(0:16:44.48) |
Vincent Helstea : Come on! He called me uncle! |
(0:16:48.45) |
Arthur Leywin : It worked! |
(0:16:51.84) |
King Grey : For a period after that, |
(0:16:55.57) |
King Grey : I spent a pleasant times with Alice, Reynolds, Eleanor, and the Helstea family. |
(0:16:57.78) |
King Grey : But I was also preparing to become an adventurer. |
(0:17:07.18) |
King Grey : It has now been nine years since I came to this world. |
(0:17:15.69) |
Arthur Leywin : Thank you. |
(0:17:27.93) |
Alice Leywin : You're already nine. I can't believe it! |
(0:17:32.15) |
Vincent Helstea : Come on, now, Alice, save the sentimentality for after the party. |
(0:17:42.39) |
Vincent Helstea : Well, everyone, don't be shy! Eat your fill! |
(0:17:51.12) |
Vincent Helstea : And now with dinner done, it's time for the presents. |
(0:18:05.75) |
King Grey : First, something from us. |
(0:18:10.42) |
Alice Leywin : Those gems on the top have been enchanted with healing magic by me. |
(0:18:14.39) |
Arthur Leywin : Thank you, Mom! |
(0:18:19.95) |
Vincent Helstea : Next is ours. |
(0:18:22.49) |
Vincent Helstea : Arthur, will you marry me? |
(0:18:25.25) |
Arthur Leywin : No way. |
(0:18:27.71) |
Tabitha Helstea : Don't tease the boy. |
(0:18:30.08) |
Vincent Helstea : This one is for you, Arthur. |
(0:18:32.77) |
Vincent Helstea : And this is for you, Alice. |
(0:18:35.50) |
Tabitha Helstea : If Arthur's mana ever reaches a dangerously low level, your ring will light up, Alice. |
(0:18:39.00) |
Adam Krensh : This is from us. |
(0:18:48.26) |
Adam Krensh : It's a scroll that can produce sounds. |
(0:18:51.42) |
Adam Krensh : I'll be real with you. It cost an arm and a leg— |
(0:18:54.87) |
Adam Krensh : You use mana to leave a message on the scroll. |
(0:18:59.70) |
Adam Krensh : When Alice receives it, she can make one reply. |
(0:19:03.74) |
King Grey : That's great! |
(0:19:07.41) |
Arthur Leywin : Thank you. |
(0:19:09.50) |
Arthur Leywin : I'm so grateful for all these wonderful presents. |
(0:19:11.39) |
Arthur Leywin : I might be leaving tomorrow, but Mom, Dad, Eleanor, Uncle Vincent, Auntie Tabitha, |
(0:19:15.48) |
Arthur Leywin : Lilia, everyone in the Twinhorns... |
(0:19:23.56) |
Arthur Leywin : I'll work hard to make sure you don't have to worry about me. |
(0:19:26.03) |
King Grey : Well said, Arthur. |
(0:19:28.40) |
Alice Leywin : Just be careful, okay? |
(0:19:30.60) |
Alice Leywin : I don't care about you becoming famous or making a bunch of money. |
(0:19:32.34) |
Alice Leywin : I just want you to stay safe. |
(0:19:36.38) |
Arthur Leywin : I know. |
(0:19:40.92) |
King Grey : Something I'd felt for a while was confirmed today. |
(0:19:44.00) |
King Grey : In this current life, I have family and friends who love me. |
(0:19:48.38) |
King Grey : I never want to lose the feeling of security that gives me. |
(0:19:53.22) |
King Grey : I care about them more than anything else. |
(0:19:56.41) |
King Grey : And if it ever seems like I might lose them, |
(0:20:00.60) |
King Grey : I will fight with everything I have in their defense. |
(0:20:02.80) |
King Grey : And for that... I need to become stronger. |
(0:20:08.10) |
King Grey : Stronger than when I was a king in my past life. |
(0:20:12.12) |
King Grey : Looking good. |
(0:20:20.56) |
King Grey : You could pass for an S-Rank adventurer. |
(0:20:22.79) |
Arthur Leywin : You really think so? |
(0:20:25.41) |
King Grey : You're a strong boy, but you shouldn't let that make you cocky. |
(0:20:26.95) |
King Grey : Don't try to solve everything on your own; remember to rely on Jasmine. |
(0:20:31.57) |
Arthur Leywin : Okay. |
(0:20:35.51) |
Alice Leywin : You don't have to worry. I'm fine. |
(0:20:38.52) |
King Grey : We'll all be fine. |
(0:20:42.36) |
Alice Leywin : Well... get going. |
(0:20:47.60) |
Alice Leywin : And don't forget to put your ring on. |
(0:20:50.37) |
Arthur Leywin : Okay. |
(0:20:52.85) |
King Grey : Arthur, we're all rooting for you. |
(0:20:53.92) |
Alice Leywin : Have a good trip. |
(0:20:57.23) |
Arthur Leywin : I'll be back. |
(0:21:00.70) |
Jasmine Flamesworth : Are you ready? |
(0:21:11.73) |
Arthur Leywin : Yeah. Let's go. |
(0:21:15.71) |
