Let's go.
Yeah.
Softly...
Keel-kun's going to be mad that he didn't get to go.
I left Eclair and the old woman in charge of that.
They'll convince him.
"Have fun for us, since we can't be there," she said.
I see.
Look! Look!
Filo!
I can't fly anymore!
You could fly when you were a humming fairy in Kizuna's world.
But filolials can't fly.
Then let's go see Kizuna-oneechan!
That's impossible.
Do you think Kizuna-san's doing well?
Sure.
She's probably doing the same thing we are.
You should've learned survival skills from Kizuna too, Rishia.
Right!
I was just thinking the same thing!
I bet she could start a fire easily.
What's wrong?
I just remembered how, when my level went back to 1 and I shrank,
we all had a fun time picking out clothes in Mikakage.
Oh, right!
First, let's get you armor and clothes.
Your defense and fashion sense are both seriously in doubt right now.
It looks like they've got both western and eastern-style weapons.
If we want to fit in here, eastern is the better choice.
What are you doing?
They've got clothes, too, not just armor!
That's right.
I'd like to try on a bunch of different things, but I'm not sure if I can.
You're pretty into this.
Well, you're a girl. You want to look good.
Oh!
Wh-What?
Nothing.
How about Kizuna-oneechan gives you a hand?
K-Kizuna-san?
Help me dress her, Rishia-san.
Dress her?
Rishia-san, hold her there.
L-Like this?
No! Tighter!
It h-hurts!
It's done!
You look like a foreign princess!
But it doesn't seem like it's meant for combat.
You're right.
But if we just... pull it up!
Kizuna-san, that’s not a good idea!
Since Naofumi's a lolicon, I think he'd totally go for it!
Lolicon?
Okay, next.
This is the "samurai protecting her home from foreign barbarians" style.
Samurai?
It's too heavy.
Yeah, makes sense.
Next! Traditional maid style!
It's cute!
But this is for a servant girl, right?
Next!
Oh, that's great!
A combination of cuteness and mobility,
with just a hint of healthy eroticism!
I like it!
Me, too! I think it's great!
Okay, that settles it!
Thank you, Kizuna-san! Rishia-san!
No, I-I just helped you dress.
Hopefully Naofumi likes it.
Yeah...
Nice! You all look great!
You don't need any new items?
I'm fine as I am.
That haori's a mess.
Glass gave it to me, though.
I see... Sorry.
Naofumi-sama, do you think this looks good on me?
Yeah, seems fine.
And you look like a ninja girl, Rishia.
Ninja girl?
Naofumi-sama, wh-who do you think's the best out of all of us?
Hmm... mine has the highest defense stat.
Man, Naofumi's dense as a rock, huh?
But Raphtalia-chan doesn't seem to mind.
I can't figure out what's going on between those two.
I see. So the Shield Hero and the Katana Vassal Weapon Hero
have an extraordinary relationship, then.
I'm not sure "extraordinary" is the right word, but... yeah.
Oh, sorry to make you listen to my story when we're supposed to be just fishing.
No, you're working so hard to repair relations between Ruware and the other nations.
Going fishing with you is nothing compared to that.
It's my job!
If anything, I'd like to hear more of your stories.
Really?
Sure, if you're sure it doesn't bore you.
Can you tell me about your time in the Infinite Labyrinth, then?
I heard that being sent there means death.
But you say you survived there for years, all alone!
Oh... I guess I did.
What was your life like inside?
You're kidding me.
I'm supposed to stay here the rest of my life?
L'Arc-niisan... Therese-neesan...
Glass...
I refuse to stay here forever!
There has to be an exit somewhere!
I'll look everywhere I can! And I'll find it!
First, I need to eat.
Maybe fish... Are there fish?
Yes!
Next, I need some fire!
Time for some human ingenuity!
Should I cook it right over the heat?
Maybe steam it?
Maybe some fish stew?
I need to make broth, too.
Maybe cook it in a salt crust!
Really, you can do anything if you've got fire!
I'm sick of this.
Solo camping *
It's no fun at all if you don't have some food variety!
I'm getting out of here!
If I go out to the horizon, I might find the exit!
What is this?
Does the ocean stop here?
What's going on?
Fine...
They don't taste that good either stewed or fried.
Do I really need any seasoning?
I know I can get salt by boiling seawater.
But it's boring to make.
"No, if I'm willing to kill myself, I should be willing to make some salt"?
Sure, that's true, but...
Fine. Don't look at me like that.
I'll try it. I'll try it.
Just adding the salt before cooking makes it look delicious!
It's great! This is great!
Does just adding salt make this much of a difference?
You look so smug.
But yeah.
I'll try making other stuff.
Sweet stuff, or spicy stuff!
When I saw the light that meant Naofumi and the others had fallen from the sky...
Time stopped standing still and started moving again.
That's how it felt.
That's the end of that story.
So you survived several years in the Infinite Labyrinth thanks to your partner, then.
Partner?
The ball with the face you drew on it.
You didn't take your partner with you?
Um, well... Uh...
That ball was to you what Kyo was to me.
Um... what?
Lately, I try to remember his face, and I can't.
It's strange... We were together ever since we were little.
But every time I try to remember him, his face in his last moments is what I see.
And I just can't take it.
Try not to remember the painful things. Remember the fun ones.
What do you mean?
Remember the times you were happy or had fun with him.
This happened before Kyo went to another world to take control of the Spirit Tortoise.
I was helping him in his lab.
I wanted to be of use to him.
And then, one day...
One day, he came to me, dead pale!
With his face like this! I wondered what could be so wrong,
and he said, "Where are my glasses?"
You get it? His glasses were right on his face!
I wanted to say, "They're on your head," so bad!
But I held back!
It was so funny watching him tear up the place looking for them!
And then finally, sadly, he found them!
The look on his face...
And do you know what he said then?
He looked so embarrassed as he said, "Tch! You should've said something!"
It was several months later that he went to the world with the Spirit Tortoise.
Looking back, those were the last fun moments I had with him.
Thanks. Now I can remember his face.
Let's get going.
If we're late, Glass and the others will come looking.
Yeah. We've got one more job to do.
Right!
Stop it, Filo!
It's fine, Master!
This time I can fly, I think!
You're imagining it!
You're a filolial right now!
That's right, Filo!
If you're by yourself, you can jump across,
but you can't with the wagon hooked up to you!
Jump?
Filo-chan, I'm sorry, but jumping and flying like a humming fairy are two different things!
Aw...
I'm sorry, Master. I'll take the long way around.
I want to fly again.
In this world you just can't, okay?
If only Ost-san was here.
That's right.
Ost-san could use her gravity magic to make Filo and the carriage float.
She'd smile and watch, wouldn't she?
Hey, remember when she tried to say things in a way that was subtle,
but that you'd still understand, and it just made things worse?
That's...
Rishia-san, don't talk about that!
Um, Ost-san...
Yes?
I've been wondering.
Yes? Ask anything you like!
What does it mean to "get intimate as fast as possible"?
Well... Well...
"Get intimate"? What does that mean?
That was the advice Ost-san gave to Rishia-san.
I didn't really understand.
Oh! Advice!
Oh, I did give her that advice.
Ost-san!
Raphtalia-san, when I said to "get intimate" with someone, I meant...
No! I meant don't tell her!
Oh? You did?
Rishia-san! I'm fine!
I am Naofumi-sama's sword.
I can accept anything, no matter what it is!
Hmm... I'm not sure about that.
Okay, I'll tell you in secret, then.
Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper...
Th-This isn't my fault, okay?! Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper...
And that's how it works!
You do what with his what?
I don't understand! What is "what"?
And what do I do with it?
It's not fair that you're only telling Raphtalia-oneechan!
Tell me, too!
If Raphtalia-san doesn't get it, it's probably safe to tell Filo-chan!
Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper...
You mean, mate with Master?
"Mate"?
O-Ost-san, what did you tell her?
Oh, I guess you figured it out too, Raphtalia-san!
I didn't!
I didn't, but I kind of did!
Stop it! Let's just talk about something else! I didn't, but I kind of did!
Let me go into a little more detail then. Stop it! Let's just talk about something else! I didn't, but I kind of did!
Are you listening, Ost-san? Let me go into a little more detail then.
I d-don't need to hear anymore!
Then I'll listen!
No! Filo, it's indecent!
Indecent? Is mating with someone indecent?
Well...
It's a wonderful thing.
But I meant it in an indecent sense, though!
I don't know what's right anymore.
What is "what"?
Stop it!
Oh my!
This isn't funny, Ost-san!
It was crazy, but it was fun!
I was half scared to death!
What are you talking about?
Um, you and I, Master, are going to...
Stop it!
Hey, we're here, Ost.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Yeah!
