01x07 - A Miracle for the High-Minded Princess

[bunniefuu]

I have to wonder, do I really look

like this because of a curse?

It was just an avatar before,

but if it really is because of a curse now

The mid-tier Bishop class has Uncurse

I may be able to use it on myself to lift it.

Let's try just the tip.

Uncurse!

Uncurse! Uncurse!

Good morning. It's me, Arc.

As the sun rose, we set out for Olav,

the capital of the Rhoden Kingdom.

That's where we'll find the individuals

listed on the trafficking contract.

In other news

I was able to confirm that my body

looks like this because of a curse.

However, while the curse

can be lifted temporarily

it comes right back.

Either the curse is self-perpetuating,

or there's something else going on.

Are you all right? You seem distracted.

Oh, it's nothing important. Worry not.

If you're sure

We're nearly out of the woods.

Arc! Not that way!

Doesn't really matter right now!

So, you're afraid of bugs then, Arc?

When chased by ones

of that kind of size I certainly am.

You know, people fry their

mid-sections and eat them.

Remarkable

I imagine it must make for quite a sight.

It's actually nice and crunchy.

You should try some next time.

I'll make an attempt,

should the opportunity arise again.

So, about tomorrow

Most people take a carriage

on the road next to the forest to reach Olav.

But I think we should cut

through the forest as a shortcut.

The sooner we arrive, the better, after all.

You folks are thinking

about cutting through the woods?

I wouldn't. It's too dangerous in there.

It's dangerous?

There's monsters in those woods.

I think they were called haunted wolves?

Been ten people attacked

in just the last few days!

Haunted wolves

And they show up often?

Not until recently, no!

Just stay clear of the woods, if you can.

I assume from your expression

you'd like to move as swiftly as possible

to save the other elves.

You need not worry. Between the two of us

Right.

Haunted wolves shouldn't

be much of a threat

In that case, let's head

to the woods tomorrow, as planned.

Olav, Capital of the Rhoden Kingdom

Your guards will rendezvous

with us further down the road

but I was told there wouldn't be many.

Are you in that much of a hurry?

The greater the numbers,

the slower our pace.

We must reach the Grand Duchy

of Limbult with all possible haste.

We'll be setting out, now.

This is around where the monsters

were said to appear

Right.

Is something troubling you?

W-Well the tails of haunted wolves

Their fur gives off a blue light,

and veils with that fur woven into it

are considered the finest

possible gift for a bride-to-be.

And my sister is actually

getting married soon

So, you'd like to obtain haunted

wolf tails for a veil, then?

I know.

We don't have time to waste

on that kind of thing.

Forget I mentioned it.

Arc!

Speak of the devil dogs,

and they appear, it seems.

I-Illusions?!

Arc!

Crap! I just remembered

Allow me to explain!

Haunted wolves are a type

of lupine monster that attack in packs!

They create multiple illusions of themselves

in order to confuse their prey during a hunt

They're especially dangerous, thanks to

the pack leader's keen command and intellect!

There's no end of them!

Stone of flames, heed my call.

Strike my enemy down!

Look out, Lady Ariane!

Oh, great Earth

She's good!

The way she fights after having been

a warrior for so long is a great example.

Raw power shows its weaknesses

when dealing with multiple enemies

And until I have a better grasp

on my ranged skills and magic,

I should be careful with them.

So, in order to get out of this situation

The boss needs to go down! Dimension Move!

That's!

Fire!

Arc! What was that?

Were you fighting

with the leader of the pack?

What is that?

Episode 7

A Miracle for the High-Minded Princess

And those rings were

on the giant basilisk you fought, too?

More creatures in areas

they're not native to.

Could the rings have

something to do with it?

I cannot say.

Arc, could you give me a moment?

What for?

I mean, I know we're in a hurry, but

Still, it'd be such a waste

and I promise not to take too long, so

A gift for your sister, right?

Let us take a brief rest, then.

Thank you!

Let's bleed them, on the double!

Miss Yuriarna, would you please relax,

and have something to eat?

Thank you, Ferna

Is something troubling you?

Yes.

This mission to the Grand Duchy of Limbult

was under Father's orders.

It's been carried out in secret thus far,

but I can't help but feel anxious

Brother Dakares is likely involved

with the elf sl*ve trade.

He's bound to be displeased

with this round of negotiations.

And I doubt Brother Sekt,

with his ambitions for the throne,

will let things play out

without getting involved.

I just hope there's no trouble.

Enemies!

We're under attack!

Princess!

That should do nicely.

I have a lot to learn from today's battle.

I have all these battle skills and magic,

but until I learn how to use them,

they're wasted on me.

I should ask Lady Ariane for combat training

when there's a free moment.

What's the matter, Ponta?

Ponta? Hey!

Lady Ariane, pardon me,

but wait here for a bit.

Not a problem.

Did something happen, Ponta?!

Don't let them near the princess!

Keep them from the carriage!

Please run, Princess—

Ferna!

Well done.

Sir.

Make sure it looks like the work of bandits!

Any valuables are yours,

on top of your payment.

A memento of Princess Yuriarna.

What a shame that the princess

had to meet such a tragic fate.

What is it?

S-Sir, there's this weird animal

k*ll the bloody thing, then.

Good idea!

What do you people think you're doing?

Who is he?!

If he's seen what happened, he needs to die!

Fire Beretta!

Rock Shot!

She's dressed like a highborn

I guess they k*lled her.

If this was an online game,

heals or resurrections from a passing player

would be appreciated with no problems

But is it a good idea

to do it in this world?

What the hell is this thing?!

We're not scratching him!

He's some kind of freak!

What the?!

It's you

Where'd they come from?!

I suppose first I'll dispose of the pests!

Several got away, but that seems

to have settled the matter.

I've got my doubts,

but let's just chalk this up to being safe

since no one is around to see it.

Regeneration!

This magic revives someone

with their vitality fully restored

But if the damage was too severe,

or too much time has passed

since death, then it can fail.

Did I make it in time?

Yes!

Ponta, keep an eye on this girl.

I'm going to see if I can revive the others.

Regeneration!

Regeneration!

The body's too badly damaged for this one

Regeneration! Regeneration!

Regeneration! Regeneration!

Regeneration! Regeneration!

Is that an angel?

Princess? Princess!

Princess!

Princess! Princess!

Ferna?

Ferna! You're alive?!

Yes!

I awoke just now,

without a single scratch.

Some of the men are still dead,

but most seem to have been

brought back to life.

What in the world could have happened?

My dress is bloodied.

That was no dream.

We were attacked,

and k*lled, by some force

Princess! You're alright!

But what could have done this?

I'm sure this was a miracle sent by God.

Ferna. Gather the men.

Of course.

Attention!

Her Highness, Princess Yuriarna,

will now speak!

Brave soldiers.

Moments ago, we were struck down

by some foe, and were as good as dead.

However, God did not forsake us.

It was by His divine providence

that we were revived!

Which means we are obliged to move forward!

We must repay the mercy we

were shown on this day!

There is no longer anything

that can stop us!

We ride for Limbult at once!

Swap out the horses on the carriage!

Try to capture as many horses as possible!

I figured she was just some

noble, but actual royalty?

And don't leave any weapons

that can still be used behind!

When I stop and think about it,

magic that can revive

the dead might be a bad idea.

And when we're talking about resurrecting

a princess who was m*rder*d

This is probably going to

be historically significant.

W-Well, it's probably fine, right, Ponta?

Welcome back, Arc.

That took a while. What were you up to?

W-Well, uh you know,

just some odds and ends.

Not anything significant.

You seem to be done, as well.

This should be more than enough fur!

It should make for a lovely veil.

I see.

Then shall we be on our way?

Right!

Royal Capital, Olav

Come on up! See our wares!

We've got the best deals!

We'll make you a bargain!

I suppose this is

the city's thriving heart.

It's certainly lively.

You little sh*t!

You think you can talk to me like that?!

After we were trying to be nice!

Some kind of fight?

Honestly it's so barbaric.

Don't you ignore me, you—

My eyes! My eyes!

Hey! That's playing dirty!

All at once, if you would.

What did you say, you runt?!

You'll regret that!

Shall we aid the young lady?

I wouldn't. There's no need.

See?

She made short work of them!

Lady Ariane! I think she's locked onto me!

You shouldn't have been staring!

Hello there.

It's good to see you again.

I'm pleased to see your mission

in Diento seems to have been a success.

It's you from before!

The furry-eared ninja!
