**[00:34] ---**
You were ordered to drag me back, not kill me!
**[00:50] ---**
It's sad they think I can be stopped
with just a couple hundred arrows...
**[01:02] ---**
We got him!
**[01:06] ---**
No way...
**[01:26] ---**
*I... will change the world*
**[01:27] ---**
"Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero"
*I... will change the world*
**[01:31] ---**
"Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero"
*Your tear change real my soul*
**[01:39] ---**
*From out of the flowing air, it rocks the world*
**[01:45] ---**
*The time limit is drawing near*
**[01:48] ---**
*What to do?*
**[01:49] ---**
*Shout! Deep, jet-black eyes*
**[01:55] ---**
*Ah, bearing a lasting grudge*
**[02:00] ---**
*A soaring hero of darkness*
**[02:05] ---**
*Enkindled*
**[02:07] ---**
*Change the world*
**[02:08] ---**
*Strong my heart*
**[02:10] ---**
*Whatever controls me, I'll pierce through it*
**[02:12] ---**
*Praise will be my reward*
**[02:15] ---**
*and set off my burning aesthetics*
**[02:18] ---**
*Without showing my tears*
**[02:24] ---**
*I still swear to protect you*
**[02:28] ---**
*Now let loose and realize*
**[02:43] ---**
*Now we are*

"New Game Plus"
**[03:08] ---**
You're not going any further!
**[03:10] ---**
Please return to the castle, Sir Akatsuki!
**[03:14] ---**
Sir Akatsuki!
**[03:18] ---**
Oh, what a tasty-looking earlobe.
**[03:34] ---**
Here, you can have it back.
**[03:40] ---**
Y-You rogue hero!
**[03:45] ---**
Rogue hero, huh...?
**[03:53] ---**
"Rogue hero." That's me to a T.
**[03:58] ---**
Now, then. Just come on out, Valkyrie.
**[04:08] ---**
I implore once more.
**[04:10] ---**
Please return to the castle,
Sir Akatsuki the Brave.
**[04:14] ---**
Man, this is one fancy send-off.
**[04:17] ---**
You don't even see this many on
the streets of Akiba these days.
**[04:22] ---**
You absolutely intend to
return to your world, then?
**[04:28] ---**
That's too bad.
**[04:31] ---**
Above!
**[04:32] ---**
And... Ta-dah!
**[04:34] ---**
Your distractions won't work!
**[04:37] ---**
What are you--?!
**[04:44] ---**
Oh, did you all sprain your legs or something?
**[04:47] ---**
I'll take a look. Let me see under your skirts.
**[04:54] ---**
Sir Akatsuki.
**[04:56] ---**
You lecher.
**[04:57] ---**
Do you *intend* to leave behind stories
**[04:59] ---**
of a monster with a penchant for
assaulting women in Shellfeed Forest?!
**[05:05] ---**
Wouldn't stories of maids who
attack travelers come first?
**[05:10] ---**
These are Princess Listy's orders!
**[05:12] ---**
I cannot allow you to pass through
the Otherworld Gate up ahead!
**[05:18] ---**
Sorry, but I am.
**[05:21] ---**
Prepare yourself!
**[05:22] ---**
Fine by me. Bring it on.
**[05:42] ---**
It looks like not even Valkyrie could stop you.
**[05:50] ---**
Hold on!
**[05:52] ---**
You dummy! Wait!
**[05:54] ---**
Quit joking around! I said wait! Hey!
**[06:01] ---**
What do you think you're doing, Listy?
**[06:03] ---**
A princess sneaking out of the castle...
**[06:06] ---**
Not to mention siccing the Maid Squad on me.
**[06:10] ---**
Are you really leaving?
**[06:13] ---**
Now that I've defeated Dark Lord Garius,
I don't belong in this world anymore.
**[06:19] ---**
A hero who's defeated a Dark Lord
will only spark new conflict.
**[06:24] ---**
Especially a rogue hero
who's not from this world.
**[06:28] ---**
Surely you understand that too.
**[06:32] ---**
Plus, there's something I have to do back home.
**[06:40] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[06:49] ---**
Wh-What are you doing?! You dummy!
**[06:55] ---**
I couldn't help it. You were crying.
**[06:58] ---**
Sorry.
**[06:59] ---**
You'll pay for stealing
the lips of a royal princess!
**[07:05] ---**
As long as you remember me,
I'll always remember you, too.
**[07:10] ---**
Don't get the wrong idea!
**[07:12] ---**
I'll forget you soon enough!
You can count on it!
**[07:14] ---**
Oh, really?
**[07:16] ---**
Then, as much as it pains me, this is goodbye.
**[07:19] ---**
I'll be over here, and you'll be over there.
**[07:22] ---**
Good! I'm glad!
**[07:24] ---**
So long, Akatsuki. I absolutely loathed you!
**[07:32] ---**
Don't forget what I said that day.
**[07:35] ---**
If anything happens, call for me.
**[07:38] ---**
As long as you have faith in me,
I *will* rush to your aid!
**[07:43] ---**
No matter how far apart we are,
I'll always be there for you!
**[07:48] ---**
Never forget that! Got it?!
**[08:22] ---**
Now, then...
**[08:30] ---**
Maybe I should have a squeeze?
**[08:32] ---**
Nah, I shouldn't.
**[08:34] ---**
C'mon. Wake up.
**[08:36] ---**
Hey, you okay?
**[08:42] ---**
Mm. Looks like you aren't hurt.
**[08:53] ---**
Hold on. Just chill out.
**[08:55] ---**
I know this comes as a shock and all,
but let's be calm about this.
**[08:58] ---**
Don't look at me!
**[09:00] ---**
Just listen. This is my
house in the world I'm from.
**[09:04] ---**
Rest easy.
**[09:06] ---**
Rest easy...
**[09:17] ---**
Why am I naked, then?
**[09:21] ---**
So you could cross dimensions, remember?
**[09:26] ---**
Anyway, what do you say
we introduce ourselves?
**[09:29] ---**
I'm Akatsuki Ousawa. Just call me Akatsuki.
**[09:32] ---**
I was known as the Rogue Hero
when I was in your world of Alayzard.
**[09:38] ---**
How about you?
**[09:40] ---**
Miu. My name is Miu.
**[10:26] ---**
Talk about being on the ball.
**[10:28] ---**
Already coming for me
the day after I get back...
**[10:32] ---**
Let's go over the story.
**[10:34] ---**
As of today, you're Miu Ousawa,
my long-lost little sister.
**[10:39] ---**
A-After I went missing,
we reunited in Alayzard...
**[10:45] ---**
...and returned to this world
through the Otherworld Gate.
**[10:49] ---**
If anyone prods for more,
just say you don't remember.
**[10:52] ---**
--Got it?
- -Y-Yeah.
**[10:56] ---**
Act more dignified.
**[10:58] ---**
It'll be a pain if anyone
finds out who you really are.
**[11:01] ---**
C'mon! Hold your chest out more!
**[11:04] ---**
R-Right!
**[11:11] ---**
Have you ever heard of
the Summoning Syndrome?
**[11:15] ---**
The Summoning Syndrome is a
supernatural phenomenon that began
**[11:19] ---**
approximately thirty years ago.
**[11:22] ---**
To date, thousands of young
men and women worldwide
**[11:26] ---**
have disappeared after being
summoned to other worlds.
**[11:32] ---**
Only about half have been able to return
**[11:35] ---**
through the "Otherworld Gates"
that exist in these other worlds.
**[11:41] ---**
Surprisingly enough, it's been discovered
that special fighting techniques
**[11:45] ---**
that returnees have gained in other
worlds can be used in this world as well.
**[11:54] ---**
This, of course, includes magical abilities.
**[11:59] ---**
As a result, in an effort to give proper guidance
**[12:04] ---**
to these uniquely-abled young adults
and help them benefit humankind,
**[12:08] ---**
the New United Nations has
created a special autonomous state
**[12:12] ---**
where it has founded an educational
institution known as BABEL.
**[12:18] ---**
Now that you have returned from other worlds,
**[12:20] ---**
you are automatically granted
the right to enroll in BABEL
**[12:24] ---**
and receive free training to
expand and master your abilities!
**[12:30] ---**
"Right to enroll," my butt.
**[12:32] ---**
Paying surprise visits
first thing in the morning...
**[12:36] ---**
It's more like forced isolation
for everyone involved.
**[12:39] ---**
Right?
**[12:40] ---**
Y-Yes, B-Big Brother...
**[12:45] ---**
Hey, now. You'll rouse
suspicion if you act like that.
**[12:50] ---**
It's just, I think they might
know from my physical
**[12:53] ---**
that I'm not from this world...
**[12:56] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[12:58] ---**
Being big-busted isn't *that* big of a concern.
**[13:02] ---**
That's not what I mean!
**[13:06] ---**
I apologize for the wait.
We had a bit of trouble, you see...
**[13:11] ---**
Stay calm. Stay calm.
**[13:13] ---**
Let's see. Mr. Akatsuki Ousawa.
**[13:17] ---**
Yeah, that's me.
**[13:20] ---**
You appear to be in perfect health.
**[13:23] ---**
Please take this file to the
room at the end of the hall.
**[13:27] ---**
Thanks a bunch.
**[13:29] ---**
Ms. Miu Ousawa.
**[13:31] ---**
Y-Yes?
**[13:48] ---**
See? I told you not to worry.
**[13:51] ---**
It's common for otherworldly experiences
**[13:53] ---**
to cause feedback loops that mess
with people's bodies and memories.
**[14:01] ---**
Oh, I see...
**[14:04] ---**
Good work. I'm glad you
got through the exam okay.
**[14:10] ---**
Thanks, B-B-Big B-Broth--
**[14:16] ---**
No, I can't do it!
**[14:18] ---**
Just give it some time. Call me
Akatsuki until you get used to it.
**[14:24] ---**
"Akatsuki Ousawa"
**[14:25] ---**
I see.
**[14:27] ---**
"True Hero" and "Overlord."
**[14:29] ---**
These are unprecedented words, indeed.
**[14:31] ---**
"True Hero"
**[14:32] ---**
"Overlord"
**[14:33] ---**
Just what does this prophecy mean?
**[14:36] ---**
Maybe exactly what it says?
**[14:38] ---**
Huh?
**[14:39] ---**
Maybe this Akatsuki guy is a hero
who'll someday become an overlord?
**[14:44] ---**
If so, he's dangerous.
**[14:47] ---**
Ridiculous. That can't be the case.
**[14:52] ---**
Where are you going, Sir?
**[14:55] ---**
To pay the future overlord a visit.
**[14:58] ---**
BABEL's grounds have been
fitted with a special barrier.
**[15:02] ---**
Physical and magical attacks will
only affect an opponent mentally;
**[15:08] ---**
there'll be no actual physical harm.
**[15:11] ---**
You'll still feel pain, though,
so it *is* possible to pass out.
**[15:16] ---**
So there are safety measures
in place to prevent things
**[15:19] ---**
like dying of shock from intense pain.
**[15:25] ---**
Lastly, I'll need to see how
skilled you currently are.
**[15:30] ---**
Use anything you'd like.
**[15:38] ---**
Ah.
**[15:40] ---**
--You should choose a weapon too--
--No thanks. This is all I need.
**[15:44] ---**
Guess you're the type who's overconfident
in the skills you picked up while away.
**[15:48] ---**
Well, suit yourself.
**[15:51] ---**
Okay, let's begin!
**[15:53] ---**
We'll start with you.
**[15:55] ---**
Umm...
**[15:57] ---**
Please treat me well!
**[15:58] ---**
Hold on!
**[16:13] ---**
Oh, you're a mage type after all.
**[16:15] ---**
Still, you're too slow!
**[16:21] ---**
Impossible! A spell this strong
in just a few seconds...
**[16:25] ---**
...while maintaining a protection barrier too?!
**[16:31] ---**
Way to go.
**[16:33] ---**
Was that really okay?
**[16:35] ---**
It felt like a sneak attack, using a
dummy barrier to throw him off guard...
**[16:40] ---**
It's fine.
**[16:42] ---**
All right. Now it's my turn.
**[16:44] ---**
Or not...
**[16:45] ---**
Perhaps I could be your opponent?
**[17:03] ---**
Who are you?
**[17:05] ---**
It's a pleasure to meet you, Akatsuki Ousawa.
**[17:08] ---**
I am Kyoya Hikami, JPN BABEL's
High School Student Council President.
**[17:14] ---**
Sir. I apologize for bothering
you on your day off.
**[17:18] ---**
Not at all. Please take the
instructor to the infirmary.
**[17:21] ---**
Hey. Why is that doctor
being so formal with him?
**[17:25] ---**
Beats me.
**[17:26] ---**
But only the strongest students get to
be BABEL's student council presidents.
**[17:30] ---**
In other words, he's the best of the best here.
**[17:34] ---**
Now, then. I offer to be your opponent.
**[17:38] ---**
Is that acceptable?
**[17:39] ---**
Yeah. Fine by me.
**[17:42] ---**
You're frightening me, Ousawa.
This is only an exam.
**[17:46] ---**
I said I would be your opponent,
but that doesn't mean I'll *fight* you.
**[17:51] ---**
This is simply to determine your skill level.
**[17:58] ---**
Excellent. Your reflexes
are better than I expected.
**[18:01] ---**
Bastard! You went after her on purpose!
**[18:05] ---**
I'd prefer you think of it
as belief in your abilities.
**[18:09] ---**
Now then, Ousawa.
**[18:11] ---**
I hear you intended to take this exam unarmed.
**[18:16] ---**
How about it, then?
**[18:17] ---**
Can you break that ice pillar
with those prized fists of yours?
**[18:22] ---**
You sure? That's a pretty simple request.
**[18:25] ---**
No, don't! That's no ordinary ice!
**[18:29] ---**
It's brimming with magic power!
It must be especially hard!
**[18:33] ---**
If you were to hit it with your bare hands...!
**[18:36] ---**
So, if I can shatter this
gigantic thing into pieces,
**[18:41] ---**
I take it you'll agree to be my opponent,
Mr. Student Council President?
**[18:47] ---**
Very well. That sounds equitable to me.
**[18:50] ---**
I'll hold you to it.
**[19:07] ---**
Warrior from another world...
**[19:10] ---**
I entrust my daughter to you...
**[19:25] ---**
I-It didn't work?
**[19:27] ---**
Wow. He's really something.
**[19:30] ---**
With skill like yours,
**[19:32] ---**
I'm sure the day will soon come
when I square off with you.
**[19:37] ---**
Your entrance examinations are now complete.
**[19:42] ---**
Congratulations, and welcome to BABEL.
**[19:50] ---**
I'll be going now.
**[19:53] ---**
I appreciate your help.
**[20:03] ---**
"Let's fight one-on-one to our hearts' content
**[20:05] ---**
somewhere where my sister won't get hurt."
**[20:08] ---**
I take it that's what this means,
Akatsuki Ousawa...
**[20:14] ---**
Cheer up. You're lucky
you didn't hurt your hand.
**[20:22] ---**
"True Hero," huh...?
**[20:25] ---**
I want it.
**[20:27] ---**
That power...
**[20:30] ---**
Wow!
**[20:32] ---**
Look at all this food!
**[20:35] ---**
I guess it's our reward for
making it through our first day.
**[20:39] ---**
Let's chow down before it gets cold! Okay?
**[20:42] ---**
Yeah!
**[20:44] ---**
Let's eat!
**[20:47] ---**
Warrior from another world...
**[20:50] ---**
I entrust my daughter to you...
**[20:59] ---**
Despite her appearance,
she's the daughter of a Dark Lord.
**[21:03] ---**
Whether slain by man or
revered as a new Dark Lord,
**[21:09] ---**
her final fate lies in destruction.
**[21:12] ---**
So I ask...
**[21:13] ---**
Hey!
**[21:15] ---**
I said hey!
**[21:18] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[21:20] ---**
Aren't you going to eat?
**[21:21] ---**
Yeah, I am!
**[21:28] ---**
"I entrust my daughter to you," huh...?
**[21:31] ---**
Man. Don't blame me for whatever happens...
**[21:59] ---**
*I can't sleep 'cause of love*
**[22:04] ---**
*I can't sleep 'cause it's too hard to ignore*
**[22:10] ---**
*How do these things even start, I wonder?*
**[22:16] ---**
*Why does my voice go hoarse?*
**[22:22] ---**
*Those unending, worry-filled dreams*
**[22:27] ---**
*And my fingers feel hot after biting at them*
**[22:33] ---**
*I'm confused, I'm afraid, I can't handle this...*
**[22:38] ---**
*I love you!*
**[22:41] ---**
*My story, a certain story*
**[22:44] ---**
*I'm not so little that a fairy tale
can put me to sleep*
**[22:52] ---**
*My story, a certain story*
**[22:55] ---**
*The days I think only about you
are probably going to be tough*
**[23:15] ---**
Ol' Akatsuki really left.
**[23:18] ---**
He had some nerve, saying goodbye
by taking off all the maids' panties
**[23:20] ---**
and stealing a kiss from me...
**[23:23] ---**
He said to call him if anything happens,
**[23:25] ---**
but he's in for some serious
hurt if I ever see him again!
**[23:28] ---**
Still, I wonder what it was he
had to do back in his home world.
**[23:33] ---**
Nothing perverted, I hope!
**[23:36] ---**
Next episode: "Bonds of Holy Water."
**[23:38] ---**
Holy water? Does that mean
a ceremony or something?
**[23:41] ---**
"Bonds of Holy Water"
