I'm off. Be back soon.
Hope you're able to get
the advice you're looking for.
-Best of luck!
-Stay safe out there!
I'm gonna work real hard
until you get back!
By then, I'll be completely
fluent in Strahlian.
While I'm gone,
please look after them.
[AISHIA]
Leave it to me.
Be careful.

Aishia, do you have
any idea what that thing is?
Some kind of monster.

[RIO]
The Village of the Spirits.
It seems I managed
to make it back.
[footfall]
[chuckles]
Rio! Hey!
Hey, Latifa!
I'm glad you're back!
Welcome home!
[chuckles]
It's good to see you!
Thanks, you too!
Have you been well?
[LATIFA]
Yes! Yes!
[ORPHIA] Told you!
It really is Master Rio!
[SARA] It's true!
Welcome home, Master!
We felt a great distortion
in the magical energy,
we thought it might have been
caused by your return.
Latifa and Big Sis Sara
rushed over here
as fast as they could.
-So embarrassing.
-[gasps]
[SARA] Hey! You have no right
to call us out
when you were the one
scrambling head-over-heels
-to be the first one here!
-[chuckles]
It sounds like we were all
super excited to see him, then!
[ORPHIA]
Well
I'm excited to see you, too.
But right now,
I need to see the Elders.
Oh, I see.
It must be an urgent
matter then.
I will go inform the Eldest.
[SYLDORA]
If what you're saying is true,
that could explain the torrent
of od and mana coming
from the Strahl region.
Perhaps the surge of
excess energy we felt
was merely a byproduct
of the six pillars of light.
Yes, it may be.
[RIO] Especially,
if those pillars of light
were a type of
space-time magic,
which I think they were.
What's more, I believe
they were used to
summon people
from outside this world.
[RIO]
In the Strahl region,
there are whispers that
a prophecy has been fulfilled.
That the six heroes
from the Divine-Demon War
have re-appeared.
Six heroes?
Yes.
[URSULA]
If I may
do you have any reason
to believe that ancient heroes
from a Strahlian war
have been summoned here?
In fact, after the incident
there were two boys and a girl
from that world, and I took
them all in to protect them.
[all gasp]
Should we assume those three
are the heroes of yore?
[RIO]
No, it's hard to say for sure,
but I don't think they are.
I found them in a place
far from the light pillars.
However, before they were
transported to our world.
They weren't alone.
They witnessed two of their
friends get summoned as well.
Do you think their friends
were the heroes
from the Strahl prophecy?
[RIO]
Yes.
That seems more likely.
The three people
I had taken in,
I think they were just
caught-up in the summoning.
You took them in,
but given that
they're from another world,
were you able to communicate?
-[RIO] Wellyes, I was.
-[gasps]
We could speak.
Because I can understand
their language.
[SYLDORA] How could you
possibly understand them?
It's strange.
[RIO]
But true.
In my past life, I lived
in the same world as them.
Past life?
Some other day,
I'd be happy to explain but,
for the moment, I need help.
[RIO]
So, please take me at my word.
Yes, of course.
This matter will be discussed
at another time.
You have my thanks.
And now,
this is difficult for me,
but I have another request
to make of you.
A request from you
is always welcome.
We will do whatever
we can to help fulfill it.
[RIO] My three new guests,
and one from our world,
they need protection.
I wonder, might you allow them
to stay with you for a time?
Before we consider,
would you tell us more?
Of course.
While they stay with you,
I would like to search
for clues
that tell me how to get them
back to their home.
[RIO]
The problem is,
when I'm focused on
protecting them,
I can't do the research.
And, in terms of knowledge
about space-time magic,
I can in no way compare
to the people of this village.
Huh
Sorcery that enables someone
to cross between worlds
is far from ordinary.
It's magic that's mystifying,
even for us.
I see.
If they stay with us,
do you think you'll have
the time to find
what you need?
[RIO]
Yes.
So, who is this Strahlian?
A teacher to whom
I owe very much
and she was recently forced
into a political marriage.
[RIO]
On the day of her wedding,
I rescued her from that fate.
[all gasp]
What was I to do?
I couldn't overlook her plight.
[laughs]
I'd expect no less from
a lady-killer like yourself!
Now then, I say,
we'll look after those
travelers for you.
Won't we, now?
Sir Dominic always does this,
but you'll get no objection
from me.
Nor from I.
Still, though
[SYLDORA] When
our guests eventually return
to the Strahl region,
we ask that they solemnly
promise to keep information
regarding our village
a complete secret.
Yes, of course. I will explain
the importance of discretion.
[RIO]
Thank you. It's settled, then.
I will leave tomorrow
to bring them here.
Latifa, I hope you understood
why I told them
about my past life.
[LATIFA]
Yes.
I know I broke our promise,
but I had to tell the others
about my past life.
I'm sorry.
Without revealing that,
I wouldn't have been able
to explain
what I needed from them.
Now that they know,
do you think I should
tell them about myself, too?
[RIO] You don't have to tell
anyone if you don't want to.
The people you were talking
about are Japanese, right?
Yes.
[LATIFA] If you
were honest with the Elders
and told them
about your past life,
does that mean you told
the people from Japan as well?
My hand was forced.
They knew I understood
their language.
I just didn't want to
confuse them.
I thought the secret
was supposed to stay
between you and me.
Rio! Why are you smiling
at me like that?
Because you're adorable
and I can't help myself.
You changed the rules.
It's not fair, you promised.
[RIO]
Hey, Latifa?
Even if an army of people
from Japan
showed up in our world,
it would never change the fact
that you're special to me,
and always will be.
[LATIFA]
I know.
[RIO] Do you remember what I
told you about my past life?
About the girl
I was in love with,
or that I had a little sister
I was separated from
when my parents got divorced?
Yeah.
One of the Japanese people
summoned from Earth
is the girl I was in love with.
I can hardly believe it.
[RIO]
Her name is Miharu Ayase.
[LATIFA]
Huh?
And the other girl, Aki Sendo.
We lived together
for just only three years.
[RIO]
She was my little sister.
Do they know yet?
They don't.
I haven't told any of them
that I have Haruto's memories.
[LATIFA]
Why not?
After being summoned here
without warning.
[RIO] I can't imagine
how fragile their emotions are.
And besides,
the person I am here.
It's not Haruto Amakawa.
Which is why, for now,
we should keep my old identity
a secret from them.
[LATIFA] Yeah, but you actually
want to tell them, don't you?
[RIO]
No, I don't, it's just
Big brother, why won't you
tell me how you really feel?
If you don't,
I can't make that promise.
[RIO] Look, that person
doesn't matter anymore.
I want to keep that life
a secret,
just between you and me.
Okay?
[Latifa gasps]
I may have to tell someone
about Haruto one day.
Just not yet.
[LATIFA]
You're so mean!
You really don't play fair.
I hope you know.
Denying your feelings
so easily like that.
I could never.
[SARA] How long will it be
before your return, master?
I think I'll be back
in about two weeks or so.
It won't be too long. Be safe.
You be safe. Miss you.
[Orphia chuckles]
[ORPHIA] She's still at the age
where she wants to be babied.
It'll be all right. I promise.
I'm off! I'll see you soon.
[ALL]
Please come back in one piece!
[LISELOTTE] That's
all the information I have
on what's happened in Beltrum.
Nothing more.
[FRANCOIS] Your report is
most helpful, as always.
Thanks, My Lord.
You are too kind.
It pains me to do this
so soon after your return,
but I need you again.
I would like you to call upon
Duke Huguenot, please.
My pleasure!
What is the reason
for this request?
Our kingdom's sacred stone
has summoned a hero.
I trust that you are aware
of these prophetic events.
I am.
If the rumors
are to be believed
she is a girl close to around
my own age.
[FRANCOIS]
In light of this development,
we are planning to hold
a soiree,
and invite ambassadors
from the neighboring kingdoms
to meet our hero.
Ah, I see.
For our part, we would
like to extend our hand
to the Beltrum Kingdom,
and invite their summoned hero.
[FRANCOIS] If it suits you,
I would ask that you deliver
the invitation to them
in my stead.
Of course, I humbly accept
your request.
[FRANCOIS]
You have my thanks.
Oh, and one last thing,
their hero is a young man.
His name is Hiroaki Sakata.
That so?
Sir Hiroaki Sakata?
Yes.
I understand your response.
It is a bit of an unusual name,
I quite agree.
Actually, I-I was just thinking
that it's
Well, it's rather nostalgic.
Hmm. His foreign name
feels familiar to you?
No! Not at all!
I've never heard a name
like his in my life.
Please pardon
my sudden confusion.
[LISELOTTE]
Could it really be?
Now then, My Liege.
[LISELOTTE] If I may ask,
what is the name of the hero
who was summoned
to our kingdom?
[FRANCOIS]
Dame Satsuki Sumeragi.
[gasps]
[FRANCOIS]
If her name is any indication,
she may have been summoned
from the same land
as Sir Hiroaki.
From the same land.
[LISELOTTE] Hiroaki Sakata.
Satsuki Sumeragi. I knew it.
Now, before you leave,
I think you should meet her.
She is just down
the hall from here.
Lead the way. Charlotte.
[CHARLOTTE]
Yes. Right away, Father.
♪
[CHARLOTTE]
Lady Satsuki?
May we intrude?
[SATSUKI]
Come in.
[gasps]
[gasps]
Pleased to meet you.
Would you be Miss Liselotte?
[Reiss chuckles]
[REISS] It's no wonder
the Ricca Merchant Company
headquartered here.
Such a glut of
prime adventurers.
[growling]
They make wonderful husks
to do my bidding.
Now, go forth!
Your task is to find anyone
in the forests
on the outskirts of Amande
who radiates magical energy.
[REISS]
Bring them to me alive.
If you encounter witnesses
bereft of magical energy,
kill them without hesitation.
You have until
sundown tomorrow.
After this, I should have
as many husks as I require.
This is my last chance.
I'll take full advantage of it.
[REISS] When
they bring me their spoils,
I'll recede into the shadows.
It's just about time for lunch.
I'm getting hungry.
Uh, let's see.
Already? it's afternoon.
stomach?
Oh, man, come on.
My stomach feels so empty.
Your stomach hurts!
it's empty.
[groans]
I actually knew that one, too!
[gasps]
I knew that!
[Celia chuckles]
But you know, masato
you've improved a lot
over these last two weeks.
What about you? Do you think
Haruto will be back soon?
Miharu, please.
That's all you've talked
about today.
Huh? Oh. I didn't realize.
[AKI]
I keep wondering,
how long will we have
to live like this?
I don't know what you mean.
We should be starting
a new school term now,
but we can't move on
with our lives
because we're stuck here.
And now, my big brother
and Satsuki are gone, too.
[AKI] Plus, I may never see
mom or anyone else
back home again.
[MIHARU] Poor thing.
You're worried, huh?
[AKI]
Of course I am, aren't you?
[MIHARU]
Well, sure, at least a little.
But I have you and Masato here,
and Aishia and Celia.
We can't forget Haruto.
I suppose that keeps me calm.
[AKI] What about our home?
Don't you want to go back?
You should try not to
worry about that. Please.
Haruto is working hard
to help us get back.
[MIHARU] Right now,
all we can do is relax,
and let him work.
Haruto, huh.
Can I ask you a question?
[AKI] Be honest with me,
how do you feel about Haruto?
[gasps]
[MIHARU]
W-What do you mean?
[AKI]
Back in Japan,
you're usually super nervous
around guys.
But you act so casual
around Haruto.
It even seems like
you're enjoying yourself.
I wouldn't say that.
[MIHARU]
We rely on him,
and I do think he's a genuinely
kind person.
Plus, he
-Plus what?
-I dunno.
Maybe it's his name,
because, it's the same.
[MIHARU]
And they're kinda
Are you really comparing him
to my brother Haruto?
[gasps]
Aki, why are you--
Comparing him
to someone like this.
It dishonors his memory!
[gasps]
I'm sorry.
That was never my intention.
[AKI]
I'm sorry.
No, please. I should apologize.
I'm going outside.
I need to cool off.
Aki.
[sighs]
Why am I such an idiot?
[AKI] It's me, she
hasn't done anything wrong.
I don't know
why I get so worked up.
Who knows.
Maybe she really
is still in love with him.
I mean
Ugh, I don't know!
[growls]
[gasps]
-[MIHARU] Hey, Aki.
-Huh?
What are you doing out here?
Well, I wanted to
[gasps]
Huh?
Uh, what the heck are those?
We need to go inside, now.

-[screams]
-We're too late!
[gasps]
Huh
♪
Whoa. What was that?
Something blew up, didn't it?
Masato, stay here.
What?
Hang on, what did you say?
Don't move! all right?
Aishia, do you have
any idea what that thing is?
Some kind of monster.
It may have been drawn here
by the barrier's energy.
Wait, is it still alive?
Both of you, stay back.
While I'm gone,
please look after them.
I've got a promise to keep!

Ah, Aishia!

I'm sorry I was gone so long.
Rio!
Haruto, you're back!
[RIO] This thing was able
to resist my attack.
It's tough.
Aishia, do you know
what they are?
I don't.
They seem like
normal monsters to me.
[AISHIA] Also, the darker one
is probably stronger.
Then, I'll do my best
to draw his attention.
For now, can I leave
the two gray ones to you?
[growls]
[RIO] It's fast, but its
movements are predictable.
All it does is swing big.
[grunts]
You're tough.
Do you understand me?
[grunting]
[RIO]
It's no good.
[groaning]
[RIO]
Its life force is so strong.

[RIO]
It was a monster.
She was right.
I defeated the others.
Thank you.
[sighs]
Ah.
Thank you, professor.
Of course. welcome back.
[RIO] The way its mouth
moved at the end.
Like it was saying
Please, kill me.
I'm sorry! It's all my fault!
I know I wasn't supposed to,
but I went outside!
No, it's my fault!
She didn't do anything wrong!
I said something insensitive
and upset her.
It's not that! I was just
I-I'm so sorry!
Me too, really.
Something smells great in here!
[MIHARU]
What? Oh.
Before the attack we were
in the middle of making lunch.
[RIO]
I know that smell.
Would it happen to be omurice?
Well, yeah, it is.
I'm hungry! let's have lunch!
I'm hungry, too!
Masato! well done!
[laughs]
I'm starving, too.
Okay! It'll be ready soon!
-Hey, Aki, will you help me?
-Oh, sure.
Before we start
[ALL]
Huh?
We're gonna be moving soon!
[thuds]
One group has failed
to return with their targets.
Could they have been killed?
[REISS] Slaying a group of
strengthened revenants
is no easy task.
It would require
tremendous power.
It will delay the inevitable,
but only for a short time.
Their numbers
have been reduced.
[REISS]
No time to waste.
I had better reanimate
this fresh batch immediately.
Then, we shall see.
[REISS]
How many of our targets
will make it out alive
this time?
