1
00:00:06,589 --> 00:00:08,633
The True Demon King has died.

2
00:00:10,593 --> 00:00:12,012
The enemy of the world that filled the
horizon with fear, was defeated by somebody.

3
00:00:12,971 --> 00:00:18,893
To this very day, that lone Hero remains
unknown, both in name and existence.

4
00:00:19,894 --> 00:00:22,897
Now the age of fear has come to an end,

5
00:00:22,981 --> 00:00:26,901
that person has to be chosen.

6
00:01:16,409 --> 00:01:17,369
shore.

7
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:38,431
drenched

8
00:01:52,529 --> 00:01:56,533
Episode 4

9
00:01:56,533 --> 00:02:00,537
Aureatia

10
00:02:06,543 --> 00:02:09,587
Lord Hidow, we've received a report from headquarters in Mage City.

11
00:02:09,587 --> 00:02:14,551
Jeez. Do New Principality issues fall under my jurisdiction already?

12
00:02:14,551 --> 00:02:15,552
Yes, sir.

13
00:02:15,552 --> 00:02:18,597
The Third Minister sent notification this morning.

14
00:02:19,556 --> 00:02:20,557
Jelki, huh?

15
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:23,643
So he's still working at breakneck speed then.

16
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:25,562
All right, what was the report?

17
00:02:25,562 --> 00:02:29,566
Regular communication from 10
members of our secret service has stopped.

18
00:02:30,525 --> 00:02:32,611
In a matter of one day...

19
00:02:32,611 --> 00:02:34,613
Their base must have been surrounded.

20
00:02:34,613 --> 00:02:37,574
What about survivors? Did nobody escape?

21
00:02:37,574 --> 00:02:39,576
No, sir, not a single person.

22
00:02:40,535 --> 00:02:42,579
All were elite agents commanded by the Seventeenth Minister.

23
00:02:42,621 --> 00:02:44,539
Hmm...

24
00:02:46,541 --> 00:02:49,544
How many will you need?

25
00:02:49,586 --> 00:02:51,588
For this tactical squad,

26
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:53,632
I'd want the 64 members of Squad 16.

27
00:02:54,549 --> 00:02:55,634
I'd probably need a sniper team too.

28
00:02:55,634 --> 00:02:57,636
Does Miss Elea know about this?

29
00:02:57,636 --> 00:02:59,554
Miss Elea?

30
00:02:59,554 --> 00:03:01,556
The Seventeenth Minister.

31
00:03:01,556 --> 00:03:03,516
Elea the Red Tag.

32
00:03:03,516 --> 00:03:05,560
She leads the tactical squads.

33
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,605
You should probably report to her first, not me.

34
00:03:09,522 --> 00:03:12,609
Although I heard she's currently undercover on a different operation.

35
00:03:12,609 --> 00:03:13,610
Yes, sir.

36
00:03:14,527 --> 00:03:17,614
She appears to be in a remote region
where radzio communication isn't possible.

37
00:03:17,614 --> 00:03:21,534
So I thought I'd report to you first,
as you're the person in charge.

38
00:03:21,534 --> 00:03:22,619
The person in charge?

39
00:03:22,619 --> 00:03:23,620
Come on.

40
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:26,581
I haven't been officially appointed yet.

41
00:03:26,581 --> 00:03:27,624
That may be true, but...

42
00:03:31,586 --> 00:03:35,549
Man, everyone around here just does as they please.

43
00:03:35,549 --> 00:03:37,634
Shall we send in new undercover agents?

44
00:03:37,634 --> 00:03:41,555
We'd only be sending them to their deaths.

45
00:03:41,555 --> 00:03:42,639
We need to try something else.

46
00:03:44,516 --> 00:03:46,601
To the east of Mage City Headquarters,

47
00:03:46,601 --> 00:03:49,563
there's sunken ground that's been carved out by a stream.

48
00:03:49,604 --> 00:03:52,566
Have your men set up camp there.

49
00:03:53,525 --> 00:03:54,609
I know of that sunken ground,

50
00:03:54,609 --> 00:03:57,571
but it's extremely far out from headquarters.

51
00:03:57,571 --> 00:04:00,574
It's not a particularly useful position for defense.

52
00:04:00,574 --> 00:04:02,576
We'll use it to attack.

53
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:05,579
Those pesky wyverns won't spot us there.

54
00:04:05,579 --> 00:04:09,541
I'll send over a few fortification experts tomorrow.

55
00:04:09,583 --> 00:04:10,584
Understood.

56
00:04:10,584 --> 00:04:11,585
Incidentally,

57
00:04:12,544 --> 00:04:14,629
about the release of the Vortical Stampede...

58
00:04:14,629 --> 00:04:16,548
Lord Hidow,

59
00:04:16,548 --> 00:04:18,550
will you be in control of this?

60
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:20,594
Sure, move out of the way.

61
00:04:26,057 --> 00:04:27,517
I know you're awake, Nihilo.

62
00:04:27,684 --> 00:04:30,687
Apparently, 10 secret service members based in the New Principality

63
00:04:30,687 --> 00:04:32,689
were all killed in a single day.

64
00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:33,732
Interesting...

65
00:04:33,732 --> 00:04:35,734
How many would you need?

66
00:04:36,943 --> 00:04:37,944
Or should I say,

67
00:04:38,945 --> 00:04:40,906
one being and one body.

68
00:04:40,906 --> 00:04:42,949
According to all current records,

69
00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:45,952
she's the most horrific bioweapon there is.

70
00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:48,955
Eta Sylvan Province

71
00:05:02,886 --> 00:05:05,847
Who knew that minians took such long baths?

72
00:05:07,766 --> 00:05:08,767
Kia?

73
00:05:08,767 --> 00:05:11,811
And to think you made Yawika stay in the bath with you the whole time.

74
00:05:11,811 --> 00:05:13,772
Professor Viper.

75
00:05:13,772 --> 00:05:16,858
You mustn't call people such things, Kia.

76
00:05:16,858 --> 00:05:18,777
But it's true.

77
00:05:18,777 --> 00:05:21,822
You're a slob at home, but outside, you act all sophisticated.

78
00:05:23,782 --> 00:05:24,825
Never mind that.

79
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:26,827
What are you doing up there?

80
00:05:26,827 --> 00:05:30,789
I was going to take a bath once you got out.

81
00:05:30,789 --> 00:05:31,832
But you took forever.

82
00:05:33,792 --> 00:05:35,836
Using Word Arts to peep isn't very nice either.

83
00:05:35,836 --> 00:05:38,839
Who do you think I am? That's obscene.

84
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,842
I can relax up here because there aren't as many bugs, that's all.

85
00:05:42,801 --> 00:05:44,845
Were you hoping to take my lesson too?

86
00:05:45,804 --> 00:05:47,848
No! I hate studying.

87
00:05:47,848 --> 00:05:49,808
Yawika is the weird one.

88
00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:54,855
Drop me off next to the professor.

89
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:05,073
You can have this back.

90
00:06:05,157 --> 00:06:06,199
Thanks.

91
00:06:09,202 --> 00:06:13,123
Words Arts require both an understanding of the target object

92
00:06:13,165 --> 00:06:18,128
and a special incantation to weave words into the soul of the object.

93
00:06:18,128 --> 00:06:21,131
However, an exception to these rules exists.

94
00:06:21,131 --> 00:06:22,174
Just one exception.

95
00:06:22,174 --> 00:06:27,095
Kia's Word Arts alone, defy every fundamental rule.

96
00:06:27,179 --> 00:06:28,138
Kia?

97
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:28,722
Hmm?

98
00:06:28,889 --> 00:06:32,851
Is a talent for bringing happiness to others, right?

99
00:06:33,894 --> 00:06:35,896
You're always saying that.

100
00:06:35,896 --> 00:06:38,857
Your power is special.

101
00:06:38,899 --> 00:06:41,860
So it would be boring if you just used it in a normal way.

102
00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:42,903
Hmph.

103
00:06:44,863 --> 00:06:46,948
You'll be enrolling in a school in Aureatia straight away.

104
00:06:47,866 --> 00:06:50,911
But aren't we about to set off for Lithia, not Aureatia?

105
00:06:50,911 --> 00:06:52,913
The same goes for Lithia.

106
00:06:52,913 --> 00:06:56,875
Not only are there elves, there are even dwarves and leprechauns there.

107
00:06:56,875 --> 00:06:58,877
What! There are races like that there?

108
00:06:58,877 --> 00:06:59,878
Yes.

109
00:06:59,878 --> 00:07:03,840
So you must think about how other people perceive you.

110
00:07:03,882 --> 00:07:05,926
People might talk badly of you.

111
00:07:07,844 --> 00:07:09,888
I wouldn't care at all!

112
00:07:09,888 --> 00:07:10,931
I could deal with them.

113
00:07:10,931 --> 00:07:12,891
All I'd have to do is say the word "die."

114
00:07:13,892 --> 00:07:15,852
And they'd all die!

115
00:07:20,398 --> 00:07:21,399
Ms. Elea!

116
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:23,318
Ms. Elea.

117
00:07:23,318 --> 00:07:25,320
H-Hello.

118
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,323
Oh. Good morning, Yawika.

119
00:07:28,323 --> 00:07:29,324
You too, Thien.

120
00:07:29,324 --> 00:07:31,368
Since you're both leaving today,

121
00:07:31,368 --> 00:07:34,329
Thien said he wanted to come and say bye too.

122
00:07:34,329 --> 00:07:36,873
W-Well, I just...

123
00:07:37,499 --> 00:07:38,500
M-Ms.

124
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:43,463
I know Kia acts this way, but all the kids, and the adults of the village,

125
00:07:43,505 --> 00:07:45,507
are all... grateful to you.

126
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:47,467
Me too.

127
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:49,511
I'm hugely grateful.

128
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:50,512
It's true.

129
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:55,475
If that's true, then I'm incredibly happy.

130
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:56,435
Oh.

131
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:58,520
I'm sure I told you once in class.

132
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,481
Knowledge is like a seed.

133
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:05,485
So long as you water it with learning, it will grow all by itself.

134
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:06,486
Mm.

135
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:08,488
The person who first planted that seed,

136
00:08:08,530 --> 00:08:10,490
is you, Ms. Elea.

137
00:08:10,532 --> 00:08:13,452
And yet I can't offer anything in return.

138
00:08:14,870 --> 00:08:16,872
Such a barefaced lie.

139
00:08:16,913 --> 00:08:18,915
This is what you call being a bad adult.

140
00:08:18,915 --> 00:08:21,918
K-Kia, you just don't want to go and study in Aureatia.

141
00:08:21,918 --> 00:08:24,921
Kids who like studying are the weird ones.

142
00:08:24,921 --> 00:08:25,922
Oh, Kia.

143
00:08:25,922 --> 00:08:28,925
Why don't you be honest with yourself for once?

144
00:08:37,893 --> 00:08:42,856
I assumed a false identity and secured a
study abroad program in Aureatia for Kia.

145
00:08:42,898 --> 00:08:44,941
That was all for a single purpose.

146
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:53,784
If she wins, then even I, the child of a concubine,
will no longer be looked down upon by anyone.

147
00:08:54,284 --> 00:08:56,286
What place might that be?

148
00:08:56,286 --> 00:08:58,330
Is it a favorite place of yours, Kia?

149
00:08:58,330 --> 00:09:01,291
No, it's not, Yawika likes it.

150
00:09:01,291 --> 00:09:03,251
I just went with her, that's all.

151
00:09:03,251 --> 00:09:05,253
Take me there!

152
00:09:05,253 --> 00:09:06,338
Okay, fine.

153
00:09:06,338 --> 00:09:09,341
You don't need to come, Professor Viper.

154
00:09:09,341 --> 00:09:11,301
It's not that great of a place.

155
00:09:12,344 --> 00:09:14,304
Uh... Wait!

156
00:09:14,304 --> 00:09:15,305
That's fine.

157
00:09:22,854 --> 00:09:26,775
I never knew that hill had a hidden path in the bushes.

158
00:09:26,775 --> 00:09:27,776
Right!

159
00:09:27,818 --> 00:09:31,238
It leads to a place where you can see the tip of the village watchtower.

160
00:09:31,238 --> 00:09:33,240
You're amazing, Thien!

161
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,202
I could hook the whole pack on the top of a big tree.

162
00:09:37,202 --> 00:09:38,245
You're amazing too, Kia!

163
00:09:38,245 --> 00:09:42,207
Don't leave your professor behind!

164
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:47,254
An adult minia can advance in single file without any real problems.

165
00:09:48,213 --> 00:09:50,257
This direction should bring us out at the Fourth Mountain.

166
00:09:52,092 --> 00:09:55,178
while being mesmerized by the fervor and beauty of it all.

167
00:09:56,138 --> 00:09:59,141
While teaching the uses of forest plants,

168
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:03,186
I sent detailed records of certain medicinal herbs to Aureatia by bird.

169
00:10:04,146 --> 00:10:08,108
I investigated this secluded region
where dense fog hinders human passage.

170
00:10:08,191 --> 00:10:13,113
Eventually, the army of Aureatia will
probably take everything from this village.

171
00:10:14,156 --> 00:10:20,162
A rumor from the era of the True Demon King talks of a village,
where a certain individual has almighty Word Arts.

172
00:10:21,079 --> 00:10:24,708
All that's left, is to deal with anyone who knows
about my relationship with the World Word.

173
00:10:27,294 --> 00:10:30,297
See? It's nothing special.

174
00:10:31,423 --> 00:10:32,507
It's because of the clouds.

175
00:10:32,507 --> 00:10:35,385
Kia, why don't you just clear them away?

176
00:10:35,427 --> 00:10:37,429
Good idea!

177
00:10:37,429 --> 00:10:38,472
I'm glad we have Kia here.

178
00:10:40,474 --> 00:10:42,434
Clear them away?

179
00:10:42,434 --> 00:10:43,477
How would that work?

180
00:10:43,477 --> 00:10:44,478
Stop already.

181
00:10:44,478 --> 00:10:45,395
Hmm?

182
00:10:45,437 --> 00:10:47,522
You both make it sound so easy.

183
00:10:47,522 --> 00:10:52,444
Still, I wouldn't want this to be my last memory of this village.

184
00:10:53,487 --> 00:10:54,488
Hmm?

185
00:10:55,530 --> 00:10:56,531
Clear away.

186
00:11:26,478 --> 00:11:27,479
She's invincible.

187
00:11:27,521 --> 00:11:29,523
This power makes her invincible.

188
00:11:30,482 --> 00:11:34,486
No matter who stands in her way, Kia will win.

189
00:11:34,486 --> 00:11:38,490
See? The view isn't that great.

190
00:11:41,535 --> 00:11:43,453
Ms.?

191
00:11:45,455 --> 00:11:46,540
Is something wrong?

192
00:11:47,457 --> 00:11:48,458
Ms.?

193
00:11:48,458 --> 00:11:49,501
Are you crying?

194
00:11:50,502 --> 00:11:51,545
I'm not crying.

195
00:11:52,462 --> 00:11:53,505
I'm not.

196
00:11:54,464 --> 00:11:55,507
I'm not crying.

197
00:12:00,470 --> 00:12:07,477
She is the one who ignores all laws of nature,
possessing the power to warp anything in existence.

198
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:14,526
The one who surpasses all nature,
dominating the entire world with a single word.

199
00:12:15,485 --> 00:12:18,530
The one who rejects all analyses
and predictions, a singularity beyond all else.

200
00:12:19,197 --> 00:12:26,163
At present, the limits of this almighty savant are yet to be measured.

201
00:12:31,209 --> 00:12:35,172
She is a Wizard. She is an elf. She is Kia the World Word.

202
00:12:36,215 --> 00:12:47,184
sleep,
Sleep,

203
00:13:08,247 --> 00:13:14,169
cence,

204
00:13:21,051 --> 00:13:26,014

205

flower

206
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:32,062

207
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:47,327
