Rio! Aishia!
-Professor!
-[CELIA] You're here!
[CELIA]
What's going on out there?
We're not certain
of all the details yet.
We do know monsters
have appeared.
A lot of them.
And I have a feeling
there are likely
to be minotaurs among them.
Whatever is happening,
it isn't good.
What will you do?
[RIO] It caught me off guard,
and there's a lot I don't know.
My first priority
is to find out
what has happened here.
-[CELIA] Rio.
-Huh?
[CELIA]
If you're hesitating
because you're worried
about medon't.
I'll be fine.
I know I seem
like a liability in a fight.
But I'm not.
I can use magic
and hold my own fairly well.
So, um, with that
♪
You should go out there and do
whatever you think is best!
I will.
Well, then.
[RIO] If we want
to be prepared for anything,
it would be wise
to get ourselves dressed.
[CELIA]
Yes.

got to her head.
You can take off
we've got it from here.

[RIO] For right now,
stay where you are.
I'll reach out to you

♪
People are evacuating
en masse from the west side
to the northern districts.
Even if you left
for the stronghold,
you'd get caught in the crowd.
With the second attack,
there will be another
large group
fleeing the east as well.
Staying inside the inn will be
the safest option for now.
[AISHIA] What will you do
in the meantime?
[RIO]
The defense is shorthanded
at the eastern gate.
I'll go lend
a helping hand there.

-[AISHIA] Be careful.

Don't worry.

Reinforcements are flooding
to the west already.
If anyone needed aid,
it was you.
[gasps]
How thoughtful of you!
Well, while we're waiting for
the reinforcements to arrive,
let's try to thin out the horde
as much as we can.
I'll take the lead.
Is that all right?

Oh, of course!

[LISELOTTE] What we need
right now is information.
No matter how minor it seems,
report it post haste!
[FEMALE ATTENDANT 209A]
Yes, miss.
We have received an update,
it came direct from
the magic telecommunicator.
According to the
city watchtower,
a minotaur
and a swarm of monsters
are at the eastern gate.
[NATALIE] We've confirmed
that they managed to breech.
[gasps]
Hit from both sides?
[LISELOTTE] How far in
have the monsters gotten?
For now, the exact details
are unknown.
They're being held back
just inside the gate
at the plaza.
Our forces
are outnumbered, though.
[NATALIE]
I believe we should divert
some of our reinforcements
there immediately.
♪
If we're to send soldiers
and adventurers
from the rear guard,
we risk having them trapped
against a sea of evacuees.
♪
[LISELOTTE]
We dispatched attendants
to the areas
near the east gate.
Have we considered
sending them instead?
[NATALIE] Unfortunately,
those attendants were called
to defend the west.
Only Chloe is at the east gate.
Though, Cosette
and a few others
should be in the center of town
directing the evacuation.
[LISELOTTE] Gather your team
and head to the east gate
right away.
Enlist Cosette and the others
on your way there.
Yes, and what of you?
[LISELOTTE] Duke Huguenot
and his contingent of knights
have gallantly chosen to stay
and secure the mansion.
I'll be fine,
focus on your task.
Your duty deserves
your undivided attention.
[NATALIE]
I will do my best, ma'am.

Now, Enchant Physical Ability.

[sighs]
[GRACE]
Lady Liselotte.
A swordsman has appeared
at the eastern gate.
He's single-handedly
fending off the monsters.
-Sir Haruto?
-[GRACE] It seems so.
It appears I owe the man
another great debt.
We will do what we must.
And with Natalie
headed there, too.
Perhaps the east gate
has enough manpower
to hold the line now.
♪
[Lucius chuckles]
We were able to sneak right
into the heart of the city!
It's too easy!
Please refrain from making
unnecessary quips.
Would you lighten up already?
I'm in the middle
of a massive siege,
and I'm not even allowed
to get into a tussle.
The least you could do
is let me have my words.
Then let us speak
about the work at hand.
[REISS] As soon as we receive
the signal from the minotaurs,
we will take immediate action.
Please make sure
that you're prepared
to move at a moment's notice.
Heard you loud
and clear, bossman.
[REISS] At this time,
the aura of that spirit
who's taken a human form
sits quietly
in the center of town.
Soon, they'll be defenseless,
as the town's guard
will have all moved
to the front lines.
[growling]
[groaning]
Oh, wow
he's truly amazing!
♪
Hey, Miss Chloe,
who is that man?
I don't believe I have
ever seen him before.
Master Haruto!
He's a skilled swordsman
who saved Lady Liselotte's life
in the forest!
♪
[sword clanking]
[MALE SOLDIER 209D]
The word "skilled"
fails to do him justice
in the least!
True, he's one of the best
you'll ever find,
but even he will
need to rest soon.
When he does,
the responsibility
of holding the line
falls to us.
[CHLOE] Please make sure
you're prepared!
[MALE SOLDIER 209D]
Okay.
We'll be right
behind you, ma'am!
♪
[RIO]
This is strange.
The minotaur and humanoids,
they're staying behind
the frontline for some reason.
Those are their
most powerful soldiers,
they could push their way
deep into the town
in an instant.
[thumping]
Especially that minotaur.
It normally wouldn't
hesitate to storm a gate.
Do they have
some other objective?
♪
Aishia, have you sensed
any changes in the town?
[AISHIA]
Nothing major.
I've noticed people
in the streets
have started avoiding
the plaza near our hotel.
And the residential evacuation
should be nearly complete.
[RIO] How about any change
in the monsters' movements?
[AISHIA] No, it seems
the defense at the west gate
has successfully done its duty.
♪
[RIO]
I see.
Thank you.
[growling]
[RIO]
I'll speak with the attendants.
See if I can head out.
♪
[AISHIA]
Good plan.
If anything happens,
I'll reach out right away.
[RIO]
Please.
[NATALIE]
Chloe!
Oh, thank goodness!
We're glad to see you!
So, um, anything to report?
[CHLOE]
Uh, well
Just that Master Haruto
has been holding
the front line by himself!
[groaning]
♪
I would expect nothing less.
Me either, but still
[NATALIE] We may want
to relieve him from combat
to catch his breath.
He's been out there
the whole time, right?
He won't be able
to sustain that forever.
[COSETTE]
Yes, you're right.
Now that we're all here
we can switch places with him
and give him an opportunity
to recharge himself.
-[COSETTE] Master Haruto!
-Yes, ma'am?
It was Cosette, and um
My name's Miss Natalie,
of Liselotte's attendants.
Master Haruto.
You've done us
a great service, sir.
We thank you
for your help today.
Though our lady is not here,
she would thank you as well.
Oh, how kind.
Would it be impolite
to ask a favor?
What is it?
My travel companions
are waiting back at the inn.
They haven't been able
to evacuate yet.
[RIO] I'd like to go back
so I can rejoin them.
[NATALIE] I see, and you'd
like us to take your place?
If it helps, I'd be happy
to take out
that minotaur first.
It may not make up
for my withdrawal,
but it's a start.
I would say that more than
makes up for it, Master Haruto.
[NATALIE]
Since as an ordinary citizen,
you may leave
whenever you like.
Though, you know the minotaur
is in the rear, right?
I'm aware,
I can slay it from here.
What, you can?
I can, and I will.

[ARIA] The army

pales in comparison

I'd like to use powerful magic
to clear the horde.
But if I don't
ration my energy.
I may very well run dry.
What shall I do, then?
And why aren't
the monsters in the back
attempting to breach the gate
with the rest of the force?
It's baffling.

on your success,

saved our lives!

I'm glad we relieved you, then.
I'm in your debt, good sir!

But misswhy are you here
and not at the gate?
Oh, I have news to deliver,
it seems a few
humanoid monsters
slipped through our defenses
and into the city.

Honey, look, it's Chloe!
Huh?

Rebecca, are you all right?
[MAN 209A]
You popped those monsters
like they were nothing.
Thanks, young man!
Oh, well, um
I'm so terribly sorry!
But I'm in a hurry to deliver
an important message!
I need you all
to evacuate to the north,
and seek shelter
inside the inner walls, please!
And tell the guards
at the entrance
that I sent you, they
shouldn't have any hesitation
to let you through the gate!
I see.
Well, you better
get a move-on, then!
We'll go ahead and evacuate
alongside our new
swordsman friend, here!
Oh, I, um
Sounds good, let's go!
Wait, are you sure?
Yeah, all right,
let's move out.

[SAKATA]
Hey, I got a question for ya.
Are monster attacks like,
always happening in your world?
[GUSTAV]
They're not known to attack
as frequently as this.
But it isn't unprecedented,
I'm afraid.
In the past, towns and villages
were completely destroyed.
Brought to rubble
by monsters just like these.
Oh, great.
[scoffs]
Hm?
Ah!
[clearing throat]
Sir, pardon my sudden cough.
My nerves have made
my throat quite dry.
[Mireille sighs]
Now we can feel a little safer.
Thank you
for all your help, mister.
You're the best.
[RIO] I didn't do
much of anything, really.
All I did was
walk here with you.
Pardon me.
Do you happen to go
by the name Master Haruto?
Yes.
Is there a reason you ask?
Well, sir, truth is
we've been told that if you
and your companions arrived,
our orders are to escort you
to the mansion immediately.
It was a directive
from Lady Liselotte herself.
[RIO]
I see, what a nice surprise.
[MALE SOLDIER 209E]
You and your companions
are now under our protection.
Sorry to rush, but we must go.
Hm, in that case,
we'll take you
at your word, sir.

Please, lead the way.
Yes, follow me.

can't handle
this type of assignment.

you must go to the end

is yours for the taking,
pretty boy.

a hand to the Princess.
Although you can do
as you like with the Hero
short of killing him.
Yes, leave the rest to me.
As I am now,
