An Austere Elf Dances for Her Comrades

This show contains scenes that some viewers may
find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.
Strong
I seek to be stronger than anyone else.
The pact between the humans and us elves
is little more than a farce at this point.
They continue to expand into our lands,
and in this world filled with
deceit and injustice,
there exists no one
to offer us any salvation.
Which is why I must be a warrior.
As daughter of our leader,
and for the sake of my oppressed kindred.
But
My encounter with this
warrior in silver armor
marks a new direction for my destiny.
And where do you think you're going?
Bloody hell, what is that thing?!
He got the others!
He's a monster!
Hi there. It's me, Arc.
And right about now, I've gotten used to
running casual quests in order
to cover my daily expenses.
One group of brigands, dealt with.
Well, well!
It seems these rogues
have quite a war chest.
There's no doubt they were up
to all manner of villainy.
Cages?
No matter.
Let's take what's for the taking
and head home, Ponta.
Let's hear your report, Celsika.
Sir.
The attempt to assassinate
Lord Luvierte's daughter, Lauren,
has apparently failed.
How were they unable
to kill that little girl?
Lord of Diento,
Tryton du Diento
I had heard they were supposed to
be good at their jobs!
They were able to kill all of her escorts,
but apparently a passing,
solitary mercenary wiped them out.
A single mercenary did this?!
What a worthless bunch of bastards.
I suppose all bandits are
the same in the end
What about those beasts from the Eastern Empire
that we set onto the Luvierte lands?
According to our contact from the east,
those creatures were still
in an experimental phase,
resulting in the two basilisks
not working well together,
leading them to be individually slain.
Even if they weren't together at the time,
for monsters like that to be beaten
Might I ask why Prince Dakares
is targeting the Luvierte in the first place?
Who can say?
Maybe it's a request from His Highness's
backers in the Eastern Empire.
If the lands in the north of the kingdom
were under the prince's control,
the east would be able to focus
completely on their invasion of the west.
It is true that the Luvierte have the backing
of the Western Empire's Prince Sekt.
And that means we can't afford to have our
allegiance to Prince Dakares come to light.
Yeah.
If that happened, Prince Sekt
would be breathing down our necks.
More importantly,
see about securing our product.
They need to be ready
to be sent to market, soon.
And no matter what you do,
don't do anything that could
catch the ear of Princess Yuriarna.
I'm well aware.
And have you seen that idiot boy of mine?
If you're looking for Master Udolan, he said
he would be escorting the product today.
That imbecile!
He's just going to get in the way
No matter, leave me.
Why?!
Why is nothing ever simple?!
Nothing beats fleecing the
ill-gotten gains of villains, eh, Ponta?
Come on, let's head back to town
and have ourselves a feast of a dinner.
A surviving bandit?
So fast!
Where have I seen this girl before?
It's that elf!
You will return the children you've taken!
S-Stay your hand!
I don't know what you mean!
You'd play dumb?
This is some kind of misunderstanding!
Let's discuss the matter!
I have nothing to say to a human,
much less a bandit!
Do I look like a bandit to you?!
To think a knight would
lower himself to banditry..
Wrong!
No more talk!
A ventu vulpis?
Vent a what now?
Why?
Why would a spirit creature be
with a mere bandit?
Ponta, were you a spirit all along?
A spirit creature, not a spirit.
Specifically, a cottontail fox.
Spirit creatures are known to be cautious,
and rarely even take a liking to elves.
So to see one with a human
She took a liking
to me after I helped her out.
She's keeping me company for now.
One who communes with spirit creatures, eh?
S-Something wrong?
It seems you're not the liar I took you for.
I apologize for attacking you so suddenly.
As long as you understand now.
I had actually been
fighting bandits for a job.
What brings you here?
I had heard that the bandits
who operate here had been hunting elves.
Hunting elves?
Oh, that's what that was.
Unfortunately, there were no captive elves
to be found inside of that cave.
I'm too late, then.
What did they intend to do
with the elves they had captured?
Elves fetch a high price
on the slave markets.
Surely you know that.
Can't say I do.
Very well, then. Excuse me.
Wait a moment!
The truth is,
you're the first elf I've ever met.
If you could use some assistance,
I'd be glad to offer it.
That won't be necessary.
This is an issue for elves to deal with.
I would not ask the help
of men, silver knight.
Hey
Doesn't need my help, huh?
Still, any way you slice it
This is one of those event quests
where you help out a beautiful elf girl!
And no gamer would pass that up!
Be that as it may
She barely spoke to me at all,
much less told me her name.
How do I find that elf again?
Still!
That girl was the first
elf I've ever spoken to!
I can't just give up now.
Okay!
Ponta, I know what we're
going to do tomorrow.

The Elf Forest should be around here.
It's a lot more dense than
the forest I visited with Miss Marca
According to the guild, there should be
plenty of elves living in these woods.
What's the matter, Ponta?
One of them got away!
Catch her!
Ponta.
It looks like these bones
have caught their dog.
We may have lost that girl,
but we've come across something else.
Wait!
You gonna run off without your friends?
I caught her, Mr. Udolan!
Get the shackles on her.
Yes, sir!
Aw, another brat?
How am I supposed to have any fun now?
What's that look supposed to mean? Huh?
Do you get the position you're in?
Say, why don't you beg me?
Do a good job and maybe
I'll spare your friends.
U-Um please
Re-jected!
Mr. Udolan, we're meant to sell them
You telling me what to do?!
You people work for my father!
Do I need to tell him about this?!
Real sorry, sir.
Hurry up and load these bloody
brats into the cart already.
Sir!
I guess those are the elf hunters
Seems like they don't treat
other races like people.
It's like something out
of the age of exploration
Make sure to find any elves
that are missing!
We don't have nearly enough
to bring to the market!
Go on, better run before I stab you.
That girl said that I should
stay out of elf issues, but
I can't just stand back and ignore this!
Oh, here we go!
I have you now.
Wh-Who are you?
I'll be taking those children back.
Mr. Udolan, she's a dark elf.
A rare find!
She'll fetch a high price.
I'm not into feisty women. Do what you want.
In that case
We'll just have to show
her a good time instead
M-My arm!
Wh-What the hell is she?!
No doubt about it,
she's one of them elf warriors!
That elf really is strong.
She said she didn't need any help,
and she was right.
Don't move!
Unless you don't care what happens to them.
You'd use children as shields? Coward!
Do you really wanna see what happens
if you keep talking back?
See?
Did that one get under your skin?
Then how about this?
Oh, I love that look.
You filth!
So, so good.
Maybe conquering a strong woman
would be a nice change of pace
Don't move, now.
Just gonna examine the merchandise.
I may have promised otherwise,
but I'm here to help.

Armor
Lariat!!
You have my aid, elf warrior!
Prepare yourselves.
Sister!
Sister!
Is everyone all right?
Just wait. This won't take long.
The key
Let's see about getting them out of there.
I told you I didn't need help.
I assumed that the safety
of these children was more important.
I'm a friend. No need to be scared.
Come on, nothing to be afraid of.
It's all right now.
Sister!
You don't need to worry now.
I'm glad they're safe.
Mana-eater collars?
They had these things
What is a mana-eater collar?
It can keep us from using our spirit magic.
These are why they couldn't escape.
But what do I do?
I won't be able to remove them out here
Well, let's see about taking them off.
I just said that I wouldn't be able to—

Uncurse.
Well, that must have been painful.
Heal.
Heal
The pain's gone
No scars, then?
And nothing else that hurts?
No, thank you.
You're quite welcome.
Healing magic and curse dispelling,
with minimal incantations
This human is no ordinary knight.
Up you go! Look how high!
Four children have been safely rescued.
Send someone to recover them.
They're in the Elf Forest near Diento.
It's not far from the main road,
so they should be easy to find.
What in the world is that bird?
It looked like you were speaking to it
It's a Whispering Fowl.
It's a type of spirit creature that can
remember speech and deliver messages.
Like a messenger pigeon crossed
with a voice recorder
A voi What?
Nothing to concern yourself with.
So?
Well
It's hard for any human
to tame a spirit creature.
So we use Whispering Fowl as a way
to communicate among elves.
I see! That is truly fascinating.
And truly fantastical.
Here they come.
You're all going home!
Right!
Well, I suppose this
is where we part, my friends.
Oh, I wouldn't worry.
If you run into more villains,
I will come running to your aid.
Thank you, Mr. Armor!
Goodbye!
Bye-bye!
Right. Fare thee well.
You are a very strange person.
I've only ever heard of barbaric,
dangerous humans
And you're capable of using
the legendary teleportation magic, as well.
Just who in the world are you?
No one of importance.
My name is Arc.
And I'm simply a traveling mercenary.
This is Ponta. My traveling companion.
I am Ariane Glenys Maple.
An elf warrior.
You have my gratitude
for what you've done.
I did only what needed to be done.
That's Danka's Whispering Fowl
Ariane.
They've made their headquarters
in the village of Diento.
Please, come at once.
We're going to rescue the others.
You said you were a mercenary?
Indeed I am.
In that case, Arc,
would I be able to hire you right now?
