May I Ask for One Final Thing? (最後にひとつだけお願いしてもよろしいでしょうか)

Griffons truly are quick.

Why am I in a basket?

On the last pilgrimage, the people came out to greet us...

They've all been evacuated.

If we do what we came to do and restore peace,

the town will surely regain its life.

If you're gonna chicken out, you don't have to come.

I'm not scared at all!

Even without the saint's power...

I've decided to do the best I can.

May I Pay Off the Massive Debt My Fists Have Accrued?

The Holy Gem is ahead.

I smell Terenezza and a large number of people down these stairs.

No time to lose.

Let's hurry.

Dios and I have the best senses of the group.

We'll scout ahead.

You stay back and tell us where to go.

Honestly, what a way to treat an elf.

Rex, this entrance is too small for you.

Remain here with the griffons.

Master. Take care.

Just my imagination?

Wait.

There are traces of something rigged in the floors and walls ahead.

A trap?

Yes. I don't know what it might do.

We should find another—

Scarlet?!

It's fine. They're just arrows.

That doesn't sound fine!

It's just a rock.

It's just venomous snakes.

It's just logs.

Why are we even here?

So Pallistan's dogs have arrived.

The deadly traps we set will have surely have you...

How are they uninjured?!

That's what we'd like to know!

I am ever so grateful for the warm-up equipment you provided.

The traps we worked so hard on... a warm-up?!

How rude!

You silver-haired devil! You'll pay!

Get her, everyone!

Yeah!

I-It's no use!

Challenging that devil head-on is like walking to our death!

Calling a delicate lady like me a devil...

It's terribly hurtful.

Delicate lady?

I will have to vent my sorrows through my fists.

Are you all ready?

That's enough!

I feel heavy...

Scarlet, be careful!

Old man Michelin is a tricky opponent!

I typically dislike meat past its expiration date.

I won't rise to your provocations...

You silver-haired devil.

Reinforcements?

I'm hoping this is all they have, of course, but...

Leo.

Sir.

Clairvoyance.

Lord Leonardo?!

What is it?

This is all of their forces.

Terenezza is alone with the Holy Gem...

But the minute I saw her, an extraordinary outpouring of magic fried my eye.

It must be due to her divine instrument.

We'll need to get moving quickly, then.

Lord Leonardo...

I'm fine, Saint Diana.

Well, well.

I was wondering what a little girl was doing here...

If it isn't Saint Diana!

Diana is here?!

In this shrine to a heretical religion, we can destroy the false idol!

Goddess Palmia will be so pleased!

In the name of the Holy Order,

we won't let you lay a hand on Saint Diana!

Quit jabbering on, you unsightly man!

Begone!

Magic item—

Shackles of Sloth!

Not so fast!

Your ability to weaken someone else's physical abilities is a tricky one...

I'll have to take it from you.

Figured it wouldn't be that easy.

There's no time to lose.

Let's leave this to Leo and the others and stop the Holy Gem's destruction.

But...

You think you can get past me

without expending your blessing's power, is that it?

Too bad...

No!

I've amplified its power from the last time.

You can't move at all, can you?

Those fists you love so much...

They mean nothing if you can't get close to me!

Wind...

I knew you'd try casting a spell, idiot!

I'm the one in control here now!

Abandon all hope before the might of Michelin the Strategist!

What's so funny?

As garbage as you are,

you're still an old man, and I'd hoped not to kill you...

so I was thinking about how best to hold back.

You've gone mad from despair, brat.

What happened?

How did she break through the magic shield?

It's not something you can defend against with magic.

It's just air pressure.

You used your fist to compress the wind you summoned magically and sent it at him.

When I was a child, my tutor taught me how to do it.

So there's another person out there who can use that monstrous move?

Without the power of spirits or a blessing...

Are you seriously even human?

My sister is human! My sister is human! My sister is human!

Now, everyone, I fear I must leave the rest in your hands.

Saint Diana.

Be patient a while longer.

I shall retrieve your blessing from that bitch.

You won't get past us!

Charge!

Come, let us go.

It's time to punch the highest quality of meat.

It is a pleasure to meet you...

Handsome prince.

My name is Avelyn.

Perhaps you should call me Inquisitor Avelyn of the Stigmata.

This man...

He stands before me, yet seems nearly undetectable.

It may be the power of another Palmian magic item.

I admit I'm quite intrigued, but everyone's just a meat sack when they're struck.

Wait, Scarlet.

Leave this to me and go on.

You intend to steal my prey?

Don't lose sight of your goal.

Who is it you really want to hit?

Don't be so angry.

I already regret that I won't get to see you lay into her.

I suppose you leave me no choice.

I'll be on my way, then.

Perhaps I shouldn't say this,

but should you really have let her go?

If the Mad Dog Noblewoman makes it to Terenezza, your plan goes up in smoke.

Lady Terenezza is the true embodiment of Goddess Palmia.

A woman who's merely strong by mortal standards won't pose any challenge to her.

More importantly...

I could tell at a glance.

You and I are of a kind.

How upsetting.

I have no interest in worshiping a goddess whose only redeeming aspect is her appearance.

I don't care about who you worship or why.

A magic item?

That must be the reason he's so undetectable.

I would prefer to tell you what it is we have in common...

Our confidence that we are the most beautiful men in the world!

What are you ta—

No need to be humble.

Your noble birth.

Your exquisite features.
