Lady Sizilien, over here, please.
Right!
Thank you.
Not at all. Now, get some rest.
Lady Sizilien!
I beg you, please, please come look at my husband!
Damn! I can't stop the bleeding!
Lady Sizilien!
This is...
Please save my husband! I'll do anything!
What kind of magic power is that?
She's on a different level than everyone else so far.
Everyone, stay back!
B-But...!
I hate to say this, but you'll slow us down!
A-All right.
Who are you?
--The Ultimate Magicians! --The Ultimate Magicians!
"Wise Man's Grandchild"
She's gone?!
Again, without chanting? That could be trouble.
Ha! Take this!
Maybe I overdid that a little.
Alice! Behind you!
Enchanted gear?
Why, you!
Alice, get out of there!
Sh-She has incredible power!
Your fighting style is amateurish.
Reinforcements? Is that Master Zest?
Either way, this is our chance!
Everyone, retreat! That's an order!
All demonoids, withdraw immediately!
Huh? Did he say withdraw?
I wanna run wild!
Why should we let humans--
We're at a disadvantage here! We're falling back and regrouping!
Damn it!
Hey!
Get the hell out of our way!
We'll kill you!
Don't think you can get away that easily.
You're not getting away!
L-Lyn!
Alice has been captured!
This is a tricky situation.
Yuri, back them up!
I'm coming from the rear!
Huh? Whoa!
No way! No, hold on a second!
Yuri! Alice!
Crap!
Lyn!
Why, you...!
Ah, Tony!
Alice!
Hold it!
Wolford!
So this...
...is Shin Wolford?
W-Wolford, she's no amateur.
That's all right.
Neither am I.
Yuri, see to the others!
R-Right.
It looks like Lawrence was successful.
How dare you do all of this!
Now, I want to find out just how good he really is.
Two of them at once?!
If I'd been just a little bit slower...
Shin!
Are you okay?!
We're here to assist!
I think it might be time to leave.
Guys! Get out of there!
Damn it!
Now! Use explosive magic all around them!
What?!
Aug! Protect the others!
Th-They're gone.
Shin!
Guys...
Wolford...
Thank goodness. You're all okay.
Sorry. I let the demonoids get away.
Mm-mm, I'm sorry.
Shin, that female demonoid...
Yeah. She was pretty strong.
She's probably a former soldier or a hunter.
Not them, too.
Still, what was the point of this attack?
I can't get a reading on Schtrom.
At least he wasn't here, too. If he had been,
we wouldn't have gotten off as easily as this.
Even so, they still managed to do this much damage.
We should do whatever we can now, rather than lamenting what we couldn't.
I'm concerned about Sizilien, too.
You're right.
For now, I want you all to be on the lookout for demonoids.
But don't get in over your heads.
--Roger! --Roger!
What? Master Zest?
Yes. He wanted me to create an opportunity for you to escape.
Man, Wolford and the others had power we weren't expecting.
We lost too many precious pawns.
Valiantly they invade, are driven back,
and then retreat with their tails tucked. What a farce.
After bringing down the empire, things have grown dull for a bit,
but Shin Wolford, with you around, I may be able to forget about that.
Th-They came from the sky!
Demonoids?!
Take it easy. We're with the Ultimate Magicians.
Is the aid station all right?
Lady Sizilien is tending to the injured inside.
But...
Your Highness! Wolford!
Bean, what happened with the demonoid attack?
Olivia and I put them down.
Where's Sizilien?
Treating people farther inside.
Okay.
We're still shorthanded with just us. Call the others in and start them healing.
Shin, you help Klode.
Got it.
Wh-What do we do...?
Lady Sizilien?
I'm sorry. There's isn't anything...
...more I can do for him...
Oh, no!
Healing magic... cannot treat everything...
Lady Sizilien?!
What are you doing?!
This clothing is imbued with auto-healing magic!
If I put these on him...!
Sizilien!
Shin...?
Imbued magic or not, it won't heal these wounds.
You mean... this man is...?
It's all right. I'll help him.
It really is amazing he's still alive.
Sizilien's healing magic has kept him hanging on.
Don't treat everything at once-- focus on healing each area by turns...
Shin, just how powerful are you?
I really can't hold a candle to you...
His breathing is stable now.
He'll be fine now.
Thank you so much! Really, thank you so much!
How can I ever thank you?
Sizilien?
Shin, you really are incredible. I could never duplicate what you do.
That's not true.
I'm always leaning on you, and you're always helping me,
while I can't do anything... I feel so miserable about myself...
That's not true at all. You're the reason why that man is still alive.
You healed so many other people's wounds, didn't you?
But...!
See? Look there.
Thank you very much!
Thank you, truly.
These are all the people you saved.
You are indisputably the one who saved these people.
You really did well.
You are a saint.
A saint.
Huh?
Eh?!
King Sweed, there are a number of things about this demonoid attack
that are not sitting right with me.
One of them is that the demons that were present during the imperial attack
were not present here.
This is true.
Another one is the demonoids' leader, Oliver Schtrom.
Oliver Schtrom?
Why, after overthrowing the empire,
would Schtrom send demonoids here for no reason?
I thought this attack might have been a diversion,
but there have been no reports of anything happening elsewhere.
Mm-hmm...
This man has previously done battle with Schtrom, and drove him off.
Shin must pose a threat to him.
It's hard to imagine that he couldn't foresee the intervention
of Earlsheid, and of Shin, during this incident, as well.
Then you're saying...
Honestly, I can't tell what his intentions are.
Perhaps something is happening internally among the demonoids.
If that is true, then we must not allow our vigilance to waver.
That is absolutely right.
King Sweed, I would like to form an alliance among our nations
and set up a united front.
Can I ask you for your support?
An alliance? Are you saying that the Kingdom of Earlsheid
will be part of this alliance, as well?
Yes.
Huh?
Indeed, this is a matter too weighty to be shouldered by just one nation.
Very well. We will discuss it.
Thank you very much.
I am thinking of holding a summit among our nations in the coming days.
I will be in contact once that is settled.
Mm-hmm, I will be waiting.
An alliance with other nations, huh? You really have put some thought into this.
What do you mean by that?
Aug, there's something that I've been regretting.
If we had come here by gate,
then maybe there wouldn't have been so many casualties.
But you can only open gates in places you've been before, right?
Yeah.
Which is why I have a request.
What a coincidence. There's something I was going to ask you, too.
--Let's protect the world, together. --Let's protect the world, together.
Will the rest of you help us, as well?
--Yes! --Sure!
Huh?
His Highness and the others have returned!
Congratulations on routing the demonoids!
--Ultimate Magicians! --Ultimate Magicians!
I guess word has already gotten around.
Oh, that name...!
I think it's great!
Leave him be, Klode. He'll get used to it in time.
August!
I was so worried!
Ellie? May? This is no place for you to be!
It's all right. I gave permission.
Father!
Grandpa and Granny, you, too?
You all have done well.
It looks like your training paid off, huh?
--Yes, ma'am! --Yes, ma'am!
Hmm? May, why do you look so overcome?
Ellie's breasts could be lethal weapons...
Indeed, those are formidable.
All the more reason to pluck them off.
Good idea.
No, please don't pluck anything!
Never mind about that. Father, I have a report about this incident...
You're all business when it comes to these things, huh?
I see. So King Sweed is amenable.
Father, would you entrust me to be...
...your negotiator with other nations?
I am a prince and a member of the Ultimate Magicians.
It will be easy for me to sit at the negotiating table.
That is true.
Will you do that for me, August?
As you wish. I promise,
I will lead the negotiations with other nations to success.
Grandpa, Granny...
We know. You must go on this journey, as well.
Go and look after the world.
Thank you.
In that case...
We will be coming with you, too.
Yep!
This isn't a vacation we're going on, you two!
Where's the harm? This will probably be a long trip,
and it wouldn't do to neglect your fiancée and sister again.
Yes, but...
We will see to their safety.
There is no one here who could be better guards for them.
Oh, good grief...
All right, Father...
...the Ultimate Magicians are off!
That was quite the spectacle.
I warned you, didn't I? It would be best to leave Shin Wolford alone.
Our actions have been most shameful.
No, I enjoyed it very much.
Although, ideally,
I would have liked you to have gone at it even harder.
Shin Wolford...
Should we be grateful to him for giving our master a new purpose?
Or should we lash out at him?
Either way, we cannot ignore his off-the-charts strength.
By the way, Miria, how is that other matter coming?
Nothing definite yet. I think we need further verification.
I see. I will be waiting for your next report.
Yes, for our future hangs on the outcome.
It's up to you.
You can count on us.
Be careful, now.
Make sure you don't offend the other countries.
Yeah, I know!
Shin...
Yeah.
Off we go!
August, you seem to be happier ever since you met Shin.
Ellie, are you still harboring doubts?
No, I'm not. I knew that Shin was never interested in anyone else but Sizilien.
--Huh? --Is that right?
Then why so much grief all the time?
I'm jealous that you're always with Shin.
I thought I might shake the two of you up a bit. Sorry about that.
Shin...
Mm-hmm.
Okay, let's go!
Well, he's gone.
Now that all the hustle and bustle are suddenly gone, I feel unusually restive.
I know what you mean.
It occurs to me that it's been a while since you and I were alone together.
Cut that out. You're being gross.
G-Gross?!
Then again, you are right about that.
Ahem.
For crying out loud! This is what happens when you get sidetracked!
What's the big idea, not arranging someplace for us to stay?!
What choice did we have, with so many of us?
I kind of wanted to camp out.
I wouldn't have it!
No reason to overextend ourselves on the first day out.
I wanted to see the temple.
--That pizza was delicious. --This house's bath is even better than a temple.
Tasted better than I expected for a frontier restaurant.
Uh, Grandfather Merlin, Grandmother Melida, sorry to intrude at this late hour.
That being said, can we all stay over?
--I like the taste at Olivia's better. --I like both of them.
--That girl on the street was pretty cute. --When did you see her?
I sure would like a hot bath.
All of you!
Be quiet!
--Yes, ma'am! --Yes, ma'am!
