Until now, I have never trusted
anyone who was not an elf.
But
Arc.
Would I be able to hire you right now?
You wish to hire me?
Yes.
But wouldn't your comrades
have concerns about my presence?
I imagine some won't be pleased
And if you were any other
human, I wouldn't risk it.
But you show no prejudice against elves,
and you saved those children.
Even a spirit creature has accepted you.
So I will trust you.
I ask you to lend me your
help in saving my people.
Very well.
You have my services
as a mercenary, Lady Ariane.
Thank you, Arc.
Gate
Hi there. It's me, Arc.
Living a low-key, inconspicuous life
It seems that encountering Lady Ariane
might be making me reconsider
that agenda of mine.
Unbelievable
this is the Lydel River, right?
Which would make
that Diento in the distance.
Indeed.
It'd be troublesome
to cause a commotion in town.
I transported us to a place
within walking distance.
This is remarkable.
To be able to use teleportation magic
without an incantation
Does it seem like I'll be of some help?
Yes. Of course.
I can't think of a better power
to help save my kin.
Now then, we should make our way there
before the sun begins to set.
We're meeting another elf in the town, yes?
Right.
Diento
What is the plan now?
We're meeting a comrade of mine, Danka.
So soon?
Since Ariane's a beautiful elf warrior
I wonder what Danka's like.
Ariane.
There he is.
Wh-Whoa! That is one severe-looking elf!
I'm sorry about the wait, Ariane.
It's all right, Danka, we just arrived.
Then this is Danka?
Now, who exactly is this?
This is Arc.
A mercenary who will be helping us.
A mercenary?
I'd hate to draw attention
out in the street.
Let's discuss this elsewhere.
Good idea.
Here you are!
It's been a while!
Tell me about it.
I'd say two years, right?
Are you sure you're not hungry, Arc?
Yes. I'm quite fine.
There is no way I'm taking this helm off.
They'd be all over me the second I did!
Say your prayers!
Don't hurt me!
This is Danka Niel Maple.
He's an elf warrior like myself,
and has been gathering information.
Maple?
You gave that as your name, as well.
Yes.
Are you siblings, or?
No.
Elvish names consist of our given name,
the name of our parent of the same gender,
and the village we are from.
That's where the individual parts are from.
It means that we're both
citizens of the city of Maple,
from within the Great Canada Forest.
I don't see the point in explaining this.
In that case, Sir Danka, what matters
have you been looking into?
Goa beef skewers, a Diento delicacy.
They have a flavor unique to this town,
where they're raised as livestock.
Stonewalled!
And to accompany it,
something only made possible
by the verdant fields in the vicinity,
honey beer made from only
the finest grade of honey.
Impressive.
So, what exactly is this?
What am I, an object?!
This is Arc.
A mercenary who came to my aid when I
was fighting the elf hunters in the forest.
I hired him in order
to help us with the rescue.
Did you, now?
He's no ordinary mercenary.
He can use teleportation magic.
Teleportation? You're sure?
There are limitations, but yes.
A ventu vulpis?
This is Ponta. Arc's companion.
Someone who can use teleportation,
and who has a spirit creature as company
That does sound like it will come in handy.
So, have you been able to
locate their base of operations?
I have.
It's located near
the entertainment district.
We'll find the missing elves there.
But even after nightfall,
it's still fairly active.
We'll need to wait until late at night,
once there are fewer people around.
Right.
So we'll be waiting here until then.
We won't be taking action
for some time, then?
I'll be gone for an hour.
I have some errands to attend to.
All right. We'll be waiting.
Come along, Ponta.
I'm surprised.
About what?
That you'd rely on an outsider.
In the battle, before we came here
if it weren't for his help,
I might have been captured.
Did you underestimate your foes?
Or was it impatience?
I've failed as a warrior
I know my sister would have managed.
True.
Eevin would've likely won
without much difficulty.
But there's no point
in making the comparison.
For how young you are,
you've acquitted yourself admirably.
With experience,
you'll one day stand as her equal.
Right.
More importantly, Ariane
Can we really trust this man?
Yes.
I see. Then I'll leave it at that.
I'm glad the stuff I took off those
bandits made for a nice profit!
Now, then
First things first.
Okay!
Goa beef skewers!
Salt-grilled rainbow sword-trout!
Seasonal fruit pizza!
And the Diento specialty, honey beer!
Time to eat!
So good
Delicious! I can feel
the flavor in my bones!
It's gonna be a long night
Better eat while we can!
We've got word on when to send them out.
First thing tomorrow morning.
Gonna be easy living for a while
once this job's taken care of.
I know one of our warriors will save us!
And then you'll all die!
Well, ain't that a scary thought?
Get over here!
It's okay! Someone will help us!
All right. Let's go.
That's the place.
No shortage of guards,
even at the rear entrance
I doubt they're bone-idle enough
to sneak past, either.
Yes, they're not bone-idle.
Bone?!
W-Well, I'd say we still
have a bone to pick with them.
True. It's only a question of how
quickly they realize we're here.
Once the elves are free,
any enemies we encounter will die.
I'm curious, Arc
Would you be able to
teleport us to that window?
It should prove no problem.
Let's get further away first.
The light from the magic
circle would alert them.
No. There's no need for concern there.
Place your hands upon me.

Short-range teleportation magic!
What in the world are you?
Just a mercenary.
That was honestly impressive.
There's no one inside.
We should be able to sneak in through here.
Be careful.
Right.
So tight!
Almost there

You could have told me that was an option!
You needn't worry. We looked away.
You need to erase the memory, too!
There's no need to feel embarrassed
about your figure giving you trouble
Let's move.
Danka, is this?
A single blow to the throat
for every one of them.
The blood hasn't even dried.
It hasn't been long, then.
Someone else has made their way in here.
I'm not sure what's going on,
but we should find
the others as soon as we can.
Let's split up and continue the search.
Be careful.

That makes the sound
of my footfalls a non-issue.
How about a keyhole? There it is.
Again? Who could be doing—
Were the kunai just a distraction?!
A ninja?!
And on top of that
A furry-eared ninja! Here we go!
How is it that you know what a ninja is?
I dunno what to say except that
she is very, very obviously a ninja!
You are no ordinary intruder.
I beg your pardon.
If you are in the company
of a spirit creature,
then I doubt you could
be acting maliciously.
I don't know why, exactly,
but I think she realizes
it was a misunderstanding.
I assume you're here
to free the captive elves?
Wait, is that what you're after, as well?
No.
I couldn't find what I was looking for.
You'll find the elves
imprisoned underground.
What's this?
Something that I believe will be
of use to you and your allies.
Right
one other matter,
to make up for attacking you.
There are two elves being held
captive in the lord's manor, as well.
What?!
We'll meet again, soon.
Wait!
Didn't even get a chance to ask her name
Still, I had no idea being friends
with spirit creatures was so rare
You sure about this arrangement, Ponta?
She mentioned they would be of use
What could these documents be?
Wait a minute
A contract for purchasing elf slaves?
And this name
Right.
To think the lord of Diento
would be involved, as well
The captive elves are being held
in the basement of this manor.
And there are two more
at the lord's palace.
Arc
between this contract
and that information
where is it all coming from?
I get the feeling bringing up the furry-eared
ninja would just complicate things.
Well, I simply captured
and questioned one of these villains.
Impressive.
So, how do we proceed from here?
We'll deal with things here
and then head to the palace.
Who are you people?!
We've got intruders!
I doubt we can make it underground
without being noticed now.
Then we'll simply fight our way there.
Agreed.
Don't bother taking them alive!
Just get rid of 'em!
Fire, I implore you. Light this sword ablaze!
Let's continue.
We'll erase each one as we come across them.
Come on.
Th-They're too bloody strong!
What were the upstairs lot doi—
Ariane Glenys Maple is here to free you.
Warriors from Maple!
Arc?
It's all right! He's an ally.
We were so scared!
It's all right. You're free now.
Good. We're finished here.
Arc?
Understood.
Let's be on our way. Gate!

Isn't that?

Uncurse.
What?!
Thank goodness!
He was able to break
a sealing curse with such ease
Just who is he?
Thank you so much!
Sir Knight, we're so grateful!
We're free!
Thank goodness!
This is wonderful!
We can go home now!
Thank you!
Thank you!
What a relief
Ariane. This isn't over.
I'll make sure the children get home safely.
The rest is in your hands.
Right.
Arc
The two of you should be able to
rescue the remaining elves.
Look after Ariane.
I shall.
Is that the lord's palace?
Yes.
Arc. Please.
No, it's nothing.
Then off we go!
Dimension Move!
Will they be all right,
with just the two of them?
Yes.
Knowing those two, they should
be able to sneak in with ease.
That knight knew what a ninja was.
We may meet again.
