Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles (2021) s02e05 Episode Script

GALARC KINGDOM,
DUKE CRETIA'S TERRITORY, NOR
[water burbling]
Still there.
The dragon?
So it would appear.
The beast didn't see us then,
and hasn't seen us now.
Still, pressing forward
seemed reckless,
so I made the best call
I could.
Your decisive action
was to the benefit of us all.
You have all my thanks,
Captain.
Your words do honor me.
I accept them with gratitude.
Lady Liselotte.
[ARIA] I believe that's
the Huguenots'
enchanted airship.
SPIRIT CHRONICLES 2
Lower your barriers
when I attack
and then give it
all you've got!
Magic Cannon!
HEROES AND CHAMPIONS
-[BOCHSA] Lady Liselotte.
-[both gasp]
Welcome to the humble
Port of Nor.
It has been far too long.
Baronet Bochsa,
far too long, indeed.
[SAKATA]
Yo! Miss Liselotte!
Did you get a chance to meet
Beltrum's Hero yet?
Sir Hiroaki!
Yes. I was able to deliver
an invitation to them as well.
No dragons over there,
thankfully.
Might I ask what brought you
all to Nor?
The Duke said he had
some business in Galarc,
so I thought I'd join him.
Especially since he mentioned
he might be stopping
in Amande. But
[LISELOTTE]
Because of the threat,
you were forced to land
as well.
[SAKATA]
Yeah, that about sums it up.
[GUSTAV]
Out of an abundance of caution,
we should hold
an emergency meeting
to discuss how to deal
with our situation.
Baronet Bochsa.
[GUSTAV] Might I ask you
to provide a space for us?
Of course.
It may not be extravagant,
but consider my mansion yours.
[indistinct chatter]
Marquess Rodan's lands
are impressive.
Their lord has been banished
from the royal capital,
yet it's so lively here.
Yes, you're right. Oh
-Where's Aishia?
-What?
Huh?
[chomps]
Mmm.
Oh, there you are!
Where'd you get the food?
Huh?
Hey there, friends!
Are you this lovely lady's
stewards?
Yes, I'm sorry about this!
Well, uh, what do I owe you?
[MALE STALL OWNER 205A]
Oh, don't worry about that!
This guy, he's puttin'
everything on his tab!
[MALE STALL OWNER 205A]
Are you two hungry?
Want some food?
A drink, perhaps?
[RIO] Oh, no.
We couldn't do that!
No need to hold back, son!
He was on that crew
that prepared the Hero's ship!
Apparently, he got paid
a small fortune, too.
[MALE STALL OWNER 205A] Said he
wanted to share his luck.
He worked on the Hero's ship?
For real?
[MALE STALL OWNER 205A]
Yeah! He kept blabbering on
about something involving
the Heroes who were summoned.
They're being invited to some
swanky party together, I guess.
Oh.
What do you know about them?
Did he happen
to mention their names?
What did he say?
Not much more.
I wish I could tell ya.
That's okay.
Did he happen to say anything
about where they're sailing
from here?
[MALE STALL OWNER 205A]
Oh, uh, yeah, actually.
He said they were leaving
with the princess
and her royal entourage
for Galarc.
[crickets chirping]
So, what you're telling me
is that
this giant dragon-monster
is a bad omen or something?
Yes.
It's certainly not something
we're prepared to deal with.
In the worst case, we act fast,
desert the town and evacuate
the citizens.
In regards to my fellow
denizens of Nor,
please entrust them to me.
Right. I would appreciate that!
And, you?
How do you think we should
proceed at this moment?
Well, we wait.
What choice do we have?
Can I ask you something,
Liselotte?
[SAKATA] Are you just gonna
stay here and wait it out?
I must return to Amande.
I am the governor of the city.
I need to go back
and relieve my surrogate.
Flying through the sky
in your enchanted airship?
Sounds like a great way to get
that black dragon's attention.
Right, which is why I plan
to return by land.
So, if we set off
tomorrow morning,
we should be fortunate enough
to arrive there before sundown.
You for real?
Just you and an army of maids?
[LISELOTTE] You may put
your concerns to rest, Hero.
My attendants have all been
trained in the combat arts.
May I interject?
What you are doing
is considered uncouth, Hero.
If you inquire
too much about her,
you may bother the lady.
Yeah, but, what if she
[clears throat]
No, I get it now.
I understand completely, miss!
Really? That's good to hear!
I will travel to Amande
with you!
Huh?
[ROHANNA]
Sir Hiroaki!
I am the Hero here, right?
I cannot just stand idly by
in her moment of need!
But, sir
Please, perhaps we should
listen to him.
We cannot simply brush
his wishes to the wayside.
[ROHANNA] Duke Huguenot,
that's not my intention.
Sir Hiroaki is a Hero
and our guest.
We have no right
to instruct him
on what course of action
he should take.
I know, but
Duke Huguenot,
please allow me to interject.
He is a Hero from a country
other than my own.
I couldn't possibly expose him
to danger for our sakes.
I see where this is going,
but hear me out.
I speak to you as a Hero, now.
I swore an oath to help
defend the Duke
and his allies
whenever it becomes necessary.
[SAKATA] But, that's only
under the condition that
I'm convinced
they really need my help.
You think I'd go off on my own
while you're in danger?
That goes against principles
I hold dear.
[GUSTAV]
He has a point, Lady Liselotte.
Even if the unforeseen
should happen,
we swear that
we shall not press you
to take responsibility.
[sighs]
You speak the truth?
Yes, of course.
Abandoning him
to his own devices
would be a far greater concern
for the kingdom.
Are we in agreement,
Princess Flora?
Huh?
Oh, yes.
After all, we couldn't possibly
take shelter
and leave Sir Hiroaki here
on his own.
Plus, we're going from here
to Amande, right?
[SAKATA]
How dangerous could it be?
Besides, if the situation
goes belly up,
I'll be there,
and you'll see
why I'm qualified for the job.
Is that
[SAKATA]
The sign of the Hero.
Yamata no Orochi,
my divine arms!
Yamata no Orochi?
Like it? Yeah.
Came up with the name myself.
Huh?
[birds chirping]
Yes, indeed.
I understand.
-[RAYMOND] Aria?
-Huh?
Aria Governess, that is you,
is it not?
Mm.
Do you know him?
Oh! Apologies for my rudeness.
You see, I'll be serving under
the command of Duke Huguenot.
I have been humbly entrusted
with your safety.
I am Knight Captain
Raymond Brant.
[RAYMOND] It is a pleasure
and an honor to meet you,
Lady Liselotte.
Please.
The pleasure is all mine.
Thank you, sir.
Are you an old friend of hers?
Sir Raymond Brant,
it's been a long time.
Yes, it really is you,
isn't it?
I've been wondering about you
since the incident back then.
What happened to you all,
it's just quite unfortunate,
to say the least.
To know you've been thinking
of a woman
who's family fell from grace
is a wonderful surprise.
Thank you.
For the time being,
Lady Liselotte has taken me in.
I'm doing very well.
-[GUSTAV] Lady Liselotte!
-Huh?
It appears that
our young Hero has arrived.
Will you be ready
to journey forth soon?
What a pleasant surprise.
Good morning, your grace.
[birds chirping]
[carriage rumbling]
-[yawns]
-Hmm!
[SAKATA]
I might have to rattle around
in one of these more often,
it's nice.
It can be relaxing, but you
mustn't let your guard down.
[scoffs]
You're too cute.
We're gonna be fine!
If I may, Princess,
we are traveling over
rough terrain.
If you're feeling
a bit ill at ease,
I hope you wouldn't hesitate
to tell me.
Oh, no, it's nothing like that.
So, the truth of it is,
I'm no great conversationalist,
so I thought I'd just listen
to everybody else.
I apologize if this is in
any way discourteous,
but for what it's worth,
I think you're better
with words
than you may realize,
My Lady.
I would love to learn
more about you,
if you're up for a talk.
Yes! I would love that!
Hey there, ma'am, don't forget
about us over here, please!
-Of course! What would you--
-[ARIA] Stop the carriage!
[ARIA]
There are monsters nearby!
Everyone, battle formations!
[horses neighing]
[wheels rumbling]
What the heck was that?
Huh?
Monsters, all the way out here?
But where?
Keep your eyes on the forest!
We don't know
how many there are,
but they're here!
SPIRIT CHRONICLES 2
[gasps]
[growls]
[ARIA]
This isn't right.
The monsters appeared
so suddenly. How?
Hurry, knights!
Raise your shields!
[clanking]
[growls]
Are you kidding?
What's that? It's so loud!
[NATALIE, CHLOE] Magic Barrier!
[COSETTE, GRACE] Magic Barrier!
[RAYMOND] If you're hurt,
take shelter near the carriage!
My Duke Huguenot,
please remain inside!
Knight Captain!
Don't worry about us,
I'm on forward defense!
[RAYMOND]
Understood!
They're swarming the road
from the rear!
There are monsters ahead!
It can't be! There's one,
two, or three hundred.
How many of these things
are there?
Ma'am, they're coming
from the woods as well!
You listen to me,
keep your head down low,
and don't come out
for any reason!
They are just throwing rocks,
the carriage should withstand
the impact.
[LISELOTTE]
Understood!
While I take out
the enemies ahead of us,
there's something
I need you all to do.
Lower your barriers
when I attack,
and then give it
all you've got!
You hear me?
[ALL]
Yes.
Listen, knights,
stay focused on defending,
you leave the attacking to us!
♪
Magic Cannon!
[explosion]
-Such force!
-Such force!

The Headhunting Princess.
She's amazing!
Cosette, please! Now's the time
to attack, not fawn!
Fine. Grace, listen up!
Yes!
[COSETTE]
Natalie, Chloe, and I
will figure out
what to do here.
You four, go handle
the other side, please.
Right. Got it. Let's go.
Enchant Physical Ability.
As for you,
safeguard yourself
behind the knights.
Then when ready, use
Photo Bullet on the weak foes.
[COSETTE] Be especially careful
not to hit our allies.
Right!
All right, Natalie. You ready?
Yes! Let's go!
Enchant Physical Ability.
-Enchant Physical Ability.
-Enchant Physical Ability.
♪
[REISS] Now there is
a woman with undeniable talent.
She must be the personal weapon
and right hand
to Liselotte Cretia.
The defense on either side
is rather strong.
Liselotte has no shortage
of highly skilled,
battle-ready subordinates.
But still, there are
weaknesses to exploit.
[SAKATA]
Hey!
What the heck
is going on out there?
So, we're gonna be okay, right?
Everything is fine.
All of the people protecting us
are well-trained in combat.
Yeah, but, you have like,
a ton of knights!
And they're still not done yet!
Something's not right, man.
Sir Hero,
we must trust in them.
What? Your men out there
haven't explained a thing!
How am I supposed to trust
a bunch of people I don't know?
I'm not crazy for feeling
this way, right?
Well, uh
Huh?
[sighs]
Sorry for my intrusion.
I'm embarrassed to admit it,
but I'm scared, too.
Would it be acceptable for me
to hold hands with you,
Princess Flora?
Yes, of course!
Uh
[clears throat]
Oh, hey, Rohanna,
you must be scared!
Don't worry,
if it comes down to it,
I'll unleash the power
of Yamata no Orochi
to defend you to the very end.
How very comforting.
[screams]
Wait, what's that?
No way. Something fell on us?
There's no way
that's a monster, is there?
I don't know!
Ah, that is it.
No more waiting!
[SAKATA]
Time to make a move!
[thuds]
[ROHANNA]
No, Sir Hiroaki!
We're supposed to stay here!
S-Sir Hero?
[LISELOTTE]
Honestly! He's like a child!
Um, so, what should we do?
Must we follow Sir Hiroaki?
We'll check
the situation outside.
Please do your best
not to get separated from me.
I'll try.
Magic Barrier!
Huh? What is that?
[LISELOTTE] Is it possible that
all these monsters
were hiding in the woods?
-Princess, this way.
-Yes.
Oh, hey!
You guys came outside, too.
Are you all right, sir?
"All right?" We're in
the middle of a massive attack,
of course I'm not all right!
Can we win here?
Whether we win or lose
is not something
I can speak to.
Right now,
all I can say is that
their defense is still holding.
I just hope they can make it
through this.
Our survival relies on hope?
What kind of crappy world
am I trapped in right now.
[SAKATA]
The Hero with the cheat mode
is supposed to be super useful
in their first battle, right?
Having to play in hard mode
right off the bat
is no fun for anyone!
[LISELOTTE]
Lady Rohanna.
Please look after
Princess Flora for me.
[LISELOTTE]
While we're out here,
I'll use my magic
to treat the wounded.
Yes, of course.
I will leave the rest to you,
My Lady Liselotte.
[LISELOTTE]
Very well.
Lady Liselotte!
Wait, don't leave me!
Liselotte, please!
[grunts]
Think about those isekais.
This is just one of those
stressful situations
that always comes up!
[LISELOTTE]
Are you conscious, sir?
[whimpers]
[LISELOTTE]
Heal.
♪
My Lady, are you all right?
I'm fine. More importantly,
how's the situation looking?
They are pushing us
into defense
on both sides and the rear.
I've taken care of most of
the monsters at the front.
I'm leaving the remaining
monsters to the maids.
I'm on my way to provide
support for the rear guard.
I see.
Please take care of it quickly,
won't you?
I'm counting on you, Aria.
I won't let you down.
I will be back soon.
[LISELOTTE]
Right.
I must continue to do
my part, as well.
[scoffs]
She took the bait and fled
to support the rear.
Seems the diversion
was a success.
Now, then.
Goodness, look at her go!
[clanging]
Does her power come
from the blade?
My word. No, I think it likely
rises from within her!
Is that
Huh!
These foes will be dealt with.
I believe I will suffice.
Both the flanks and the front
could use your support
at the moment.
Oh, of course, right away!
You are a sight
to behold, miss!
[growls]
[roars]
What's that?
[both gasp]
[roars]
[LISELOTTE]
Do my eyes deceive me?
No, it can't be.
They're long gone!
Lady Rohanna!
Have you seen this
monster before?
No, I've only ever
read about it!
That's a minotaur,
a legendary beast
from the Divine-Demon War!
Well, that's great, we're
totally screwed then, huh?
