Rishia: Naofumi-san!

Naofumi: Rishia?

Rishia: I'm so glad you're awake!

Rishia: I kept calling your name, and you wouldn't get up!

Naofumi: Where are we?

Rishia: When I woke up, you were the only one with me.

Naofumi: Where are Raphtalia and Filo?

Rishia: It looks like it's just us.

Naofumi: I see.

Naofumi: What is this shield?

Rishia: It looked like that when I woke up.

Naofumi: I've never seen it before.

Naofumi: What is it?

Rishia: Naofumi-san?

Naofumi: My level's dropped back to .

Kigurumi: ,Transformation Requirements Not Met

Naofumi: So has yours, Rishia.

Naofumi: You can make weird screams if you want.

Naofumi: So is this all Kyo's doing?

Naofumi: Raphtalia and Filo not being here... Our levels resetting...

Raphtalia: Naofumi-sama!

Raphtalia: I'm so glad you're safe! And Rishia-san, too!

Raphtalia: Where's Filo? I can't see her anywhere.

Naofumi: Raphtalia, your...

Naofumi: Your body!

Title: Episode Infinite Labyrinth

top,Rishia: I don't see any guards either.

top,Rishia: And we still have our weapons.

Naofumi: Raphtalia, that's too heavy for you.

Raphtalia: B-But it's my only w*apon.

Raphtalia: What?

Naofumi: I was just remembering when we met.

Raphtalia: I m-may be back to Level , and I may be smaller,

Raphtalia: but I'm still your sword!

Naofumi: Yeah.

Naofumi: It's totally different than it was then.

Rishia: Naofumi-san! Raphtalia-san!

Rishia: Looks like somebody lives here.

Raphtalia: There's even a stove.

Naofumi: Does this belong to the person who brought us here?

Rishia: Maybe, but why live in a prison?

Raphtalia: Does that lead outside?

Rishia: Something looks very wrong.

Naofumi: But we have to go.

Rishia: W-Wait!

Naofumi: This place is strange.

Raphtalia: Strange?

Naofumi: There are waves,

Naofumi: but no wind.

Raphtalia: And the coast is strange, too!

Raphtalia: It's like there's nothing out beyond the horizon!

Naofumi: So it's su1c1de to go out into the water.

Sign: Monster Crest out of Detection Range

Naofumi: It doesn't look like Filo's anywhere around here.

Naofumi: She may not be stuck in this weird space with us.

Raphtalia: Filo...

Rishia: S-She'll be just fine!

Rishia: Knowing her, she's probably having a lot of fun somewhere!

Raphtalia: Do you think so?

Raphtalia: What if we don't find her?

Raphtalia: She's never been in a situation like that...

Naofumi: We need to get out of here and find her.

Raphtalia: Right!

Naofumi: Cardboard?

Naofumi: Raphtalia!

Raphtalia: Okay!

Raphtalia: A-Are you okay?

Naofumi: Yeah, I'm not hurt at all.

Sign: New Shield Unlocked

Naofumi: White Cardboard?

Naofumi: I've never seen this one before.

Naofumi: Is it like an Orange Balloon?

Naofumi: Looks like we get XP, too.

Naofumi: We should raise our levels a bit.

Raphtalia: Yeah.

Naofumi: You too, Rishia.

Rishia: O-Okay!

_Kigurumi: ,Big-Face Rabbit

Rishia: I feel so much more alive!

Raphtalia: We're lucky the water's drinkable, huh?

Naofumi: There's no point in fighting so many low-level enemies.

Rishia: Drinking that water made me hungry!

Raphtalia: I'm actually pretty hungry, too.

Rishia: A kappa?

Rishia: Wait, Raphtalia!

Raphtalia: Naofumi-sama!

Naofumi: Run! You can't fight him at your level!

Raphtalia: Let go of Naofumi-sama!

Raphtalia: Take this! Take this!

Naofumi: Wait!

Kizuna: Slaughter Wire!

Kizuna: You okay?

Kizuna: I take my eyes off you for a second, and look how far you get.

Kizuna: You could've d*ed, you know.

Naofumi: Who are you?

Kizuna: Kizuna. Kazayama Kizuna.

Kizuna: One of the Four Cardinal Heroes. The Hunting Hero.

Naofumi: Four Cardinal Heroes? Hunting Hero?

Kizuna: I gave you my name. Give me yours.

Naofumi: Iwatani Naofumi. One of the Four Cardinal Heroes. The Shield Hero.

Kizuna: You're a Cardinal Hero, too?

Kizuna: I've never heard of a Shield Hero.

Naofumi: And I've never heard of a Hunting Hero.

Kizuna: And that name... Are you Japanese?

Naofumi: You are too, right?

Raphtalia: Naofumi-sama?

Naofumi: You took a lot of damage, considering your heavy armor.

Naofumi: It looks kind it's bugging out, actually.

Sign: Barbarian Armor

Naofumi: My defense values are bugging out, too.

Naofumi: Is it because my level's not high enough to use this item?

Kizuna: I guess we need to treat your wounds before we talk about anything else.

Kizuna: I see. So you're a Cardinal Hero in another world, Naofumi?

Kizuna: Oh, is it okay if I call you Naofumi?

Naofumi: Call me what you like. I'll do the same.

Kizuna: Um, Raphtalia-chan and Rishia-san, right?

Kizuna: You're lucky, Naofumi, to have comrades who care about you so much.

Naofumi: Are you all alone?

Kizuna: I have some, too.

Kizuna: But I haven't seen them for years. Ever since I got locked up in here.

Naofumi: Locked up?

Kizuna: Oh, I kinda screwed up and got captured by an enemy country.

Naofumi: Why would you capture a Cardinal Hero?

Naofumi: How would you deal with the Waves?

Kizuna: Waves? What are those?

Naofumi: You don't know what the Waves are?

Naofumi: We Cardinal Heroes are summoned to fight them!

Kizuna: Looks like you and I were summoned for different reasons.

Naofumi: L'Arc and Glass knew all about them, at least.

Kizuna: What did you say?

Naofumi: L'Arc and Glass?

Naofumi: I think they're from another world, like yours.

Kizuna: You know L'Arc-niisan? And Glass, too?

Kizuna: She's my best friend!

Raphtalia: Best friend?

Rishia: That scary woman with thefans is your best friend?

Kizuna: That's right!

Naofumi: You're best friends with that monster?

Naofumi: How old are you?

Kizuna: Monster? And I'm .

Naofumi: Are you a loli h—

Naofumi: No...

Kizuna: You were just about to say "loli hag"!

Naofumi: So you do know what it means.

Kizuna: Of course I do!

Rishia: Loli?

Raphtalia: Hag?

Kizuna: Sorry. You're hungry, right?

Kizuna: Let's eat.

Naofumi: Wait.

Naofumi: Why would I want to eat with some untrustworthy girl I just met?

Kizuna: Why wouldn't you?

Kizuna: I did save your lives.

Kizuna: And we're both Cardinal Heroes.

Naofumi: You're even more untrustworthy now that I'm hearing you're friends with Glass.

Naofumi: You could turn on us at any moment.

Kizuna: Naofumi, what did those guys ever do to you?

Kizuna: Fine...

Raphtalia: Naofumi-sama!

Kizuna: My Cardinal w*apon can att*ck people, but can't hurt them.

Kizuna: You understand now, right?

Kizuna: I can't hurt you.

Kizuna: So let's eat!

Kizuna: I brought us plenty to chow down on.

Kizuna: And I can cut them up with this!

Naofumi: No, I'll do it.

Kizuna: I'm not going to poison it.

Naofumi: It's a question of who's the better chef.

Kizuna: Wow, this looks great!

Kizuna: Maybe I was right to let you do the cooking!

Naofumi: Let's eat, then.

Kizuna: Let's eat!

Kizuna: That was great.

Rishia: Thank you for the meal.

Naofumi: Raphtalia, don't tell me you haven't eaten enough!

Raphtalia: N-No! Definitely not!

Naofumi: You used to eat all the time when we first met, too.

Raphtalia: D-Demihumans grow fast when they level up, and it makes us really hungry.

Naofumi: So you are hungry.

Kizuna: You're in your growing years, Raphtalia-chan.

Naofumi: Hang on. I'll make some more for you.

Raphtalia: Thank you...

Kizuna: I'm glad you came! Now I'll have lots of good things to eat!

Naofumi: We're leaving.

Kizuna: You can't.

Naofumi: What?

Kizuna: This is the Infinite Labyrinth. A temporal prison.

Kizuna: Once you're inside, you can never leave.

Raphtalia: Never?

Naofumi: How long have you been here?

Kizuna: No idea.

Kizuna: I used to count, for the first few years.

Kizuna: But then I stopped.

Kizuna: That doesn't mean I've given up, though.

Kizuna: I've spent every day for years looking for a way out.

Kizuna: But I've never found one.

Naofumi: Do you expect us to believe you and just stay here forever?

Kizuna: Nope.

Kizuna: I'll show you around.

Kizuna: But this place has night and day, too.

Kizuna: It's late tonight. Let's go in the morning.

Kizuna: Stay here.

Kizuna: It doesn't look like much, but the monsters can't get in here.

Raphtalia: How long has Kizuna-san spent here alone?

Rishia: I couldn't handle it.

Raphtalia: Me neither.

Rishia: If we can't leave either...

Naofumi: We can't stay here.

Naofumi: We need to find Filo and get vengeance for Ost.

Kizuna: It got to me pretty bad when they told me I'd spend the rest of my life here.

Kizuna: "I'm staying here all alone? Forever?"

Kizuna: I was in a pretty bad mood.

Kizuna: I've searched every square inch of the island. Even tried to go out to sea.

Kizuna: There was even a time when I thought I'd just give up and k*ll myself.

Kizuna: But I had all the time in the world,

Kizuna: so I thought I'd keep fighting for as many years as it took, until I found a way out.

Raphtalia: You're very strong, Kizuna-san.

Kizuna: You're so little, but you sound like a grown-up!

Kizuna: Well, I want to see Glass and the others, too.

Kizuna: After years of searching, I think this is the most likely place.

Kizuna: I've taken care of the monsters here, but be careful.

Naofumi: If you've done all that, why can't you leave?

Kizuna: That's what I've brought you here to see.

Kizuna: This is it.

Naofumi: What is this?

Kizuna: It looks like the door that connects the prison to the island, right?

Kizuna: I think this is the far end of the Infinite Labyrinth.

Kizuna: There's nothing beyond it. Just another dimension or something.

Naofumi: Don't tell me you haven't gone through 'cause you're too scared.

Kizuna: Go ahead.

Naofumi: What is this?

Kizuna: See? You can't get in.

Kizuna: This is why I'm stuck.

Raphtalia: No...

Rishia: Why?

Kizuna: I'm sure this is the edge of the space.

Kizuna: But it's not meant to be an entrance.

Naofumi: The wall just happened to collapse,

Naofumi: and reveal that they hadn't made anything on other side?

Kizuna: That's right.

Rishia: What does that mean?

Raphtalia: I don't really understand, but this means there's no exit, right?

Naofumi: It may not be an exit, but it's a bug, at least.

Sign: Forbidden ActionThe Four Cardinal Heroes cannot travel to another world.Exception Handling Failed

Rishia: Bug?

Kizuna: Yeah, that's right.

Naofumi: Whether it's a D game or a D side-scroller,

Naofumi: what do you do when you find a bugged-out area?

Kizuna: I'd try to do whatever I could to get in.

Raphtalia: What are you talking about?

Naofumi: We might be able to make this work.

Kizuna: I made it like you said, but what is this?

Naofumi: You saw the description, right? It's a Bio Plant Seed.

Naofumi: I can't do anything to modify it at my current level.

Kizuna: It was fun, like strengthening a shikigami!

Kizuna: So, what do we do with it?

Naofumi: This!

Raphtalia: Naofumi-sama, is this...

Naofumi: We need to get out of here first, everybody!

Raphtalia: The room's swelling up!

Kizuna: Can you do that?

Naofumi: This is the only way for us to force our way into the bug.

Naofumi: It's going to burst! Raphtalia, Rishia!

Raphtalia/Rishia: Right!

Naofumi: Kizuna!

Naofumi: Come with us!

Naofumi: Okay!

Raphtalia: Kizuna-san!

Rishia: Kizuna-san!

Naofumi: It did a great job helping us, but it'll cause a lot of problems if we let it live.

Raphtalia: Thank you!

Kizuna: I'm outside.

Naofumi: Kizuna?

Kizuna: I'm outside!

Kizuna: The outside! I'm outside!

Kizuna: I'm outside the Infinite Labyrinth! I'm sure of it!

Kizuna: This is the world I was summoned to!

Kizuna: Thank you!

Kizuna: Thank you, Naofumi!

Kizuna: It's thanks to you!

Kizuna: Thank you so much!

Naofumi: You're too loud.

Kizuna: I'm finally out!

Kizuna: I'm finally...

Kizuna: I'm not alone anymore, am I?

Kizuna: Hooray!
