[00:01] Haruto
    Five years ago,
[00:02] Haruto
    in the fall of my third year of junior high,
    I stopped leaving my room after being bullied.
[00:05] Mob 1
    Let's check out that event sometime.
[00:07] Mob 2
    I'm down!
[00:08] Haruto
    I lost all hope in my future
    and lived life aimlessly.
[00:13] Haruto
    Then it happened.
[00:23] Goddess
    Congratulations!
[00:25] Goddess
    After careful consideration,
    you've been selected to be reincarnated!
[00:30] Haruto
    What? Reincarnated?
[00:32] Haruto
    No kidding?
[00:34] Haruto
    Guess I ended up dying in that room.
[00:37] Goddess
    This new world is one where magical
    faculty means everything.
[00:39] Goddess
    So, I'll be granting you overpowered
    skills to facilitate your new life!
[00:43] Goddess
    Try and enjoy things to the
    fullest your second time around!
[00:48] Haruto
    I see...
[00:49] Haruto
    In that case, there's only
    one thing I could ask for.
[00:52] Haruto
    A nice, quiet life!
[00:54] Haruto
    Binging anime and games all day long
    until you doze off without realizing it...
[01:00] Haruto
    Nothing beats that degenerate lifestyle!
[01:02] Haruto
    All right! Reincarnate me!
[01:09] Haruto
    I'll use those overpowered
    skills she mentioned
[01:11] Haruto
    to live a lazy life, fantasy world or not!
[01:22] Haruto
    I need to start all the
    way from infancy?!
[01:25] Handmaid
    Your Majesty!
[01:26] Handmaid
    A healthy baby boy!
[01:28] Jilq
    Oh! Bravo!
[01:30] Jilq
    Well, Gizelotte?
[01:32] Jilq
    A lovely prince who takes after both of us.
[01:35] Jilq
    He clearly bears the royal
    insignia on his left breast.
[01:38] Jilq
    There can be no doubt he's our child!
[01:41] Gizelotte
    Come, now. Why, of course he is!
[01:44] Haruto
    This babe and handsome
    old guy are my parents?
[01:47] Haruto
    Wait, royalty?
[01:49] Haruto
    I can probably stay shut-in
    if I'm eighth in line or so.
[01:52] Jilq
    Now then, on with the magical assessment!
[01:55] Royal Magician
    Right away.
[02:03] Jilq
    What's his maximum mana level?
[02:06] Jilq
    The child born to the Flash Princess, who
    defeated the Demon King, and myself!
[02:08] Jilq
    I'm sure he'll be at least level 40... no, 50!
[02:12] Royal Magician
    M-My word!
[02:15] Royal Magician
    It's level 2!
[02:17] Royal Magician
    What's more, he seems to possess no element,
[02:20] Royal Magician
    so he can only use barrier magic...
[02:22] Jilq
    How could this be?!
[02:24] Jilq
    A good-for-nothing like him,
    born to the Flash Princess and myself?
[02:27] Jilq
    It will cause outrage among my subjects!
[02:29] Gizelotte
    Indeed.
[02:31] Gizelotte
    If word of this gets out...
[02:33] Haruto
    This isn't gonna be good.
[02:35] Group
    I know!
[02:36] Group
    We'll say that Prince Reinhardt
    died during childbirth!
[02:41] Haruto
    Excuse me?!
[02:42] Haruto
    Am I going to die immediately
    after reincarnation?!
[02:45] Haruto
    I was surrounded by awful
    people in my previous life,
[02:47] Haruto
    but here, as well?!
[02:49] Royal Magician
    Your Majesty, isn't that a bit extreme?
[02:51] Jilq
    Silence, I say!
[02:52] Jilq
    One of you!
[02:53] Jilq
    Dispose of this child in a
    forest far away from here!
[02:56] Jilq
    That's an order from your king!
[03:00] Goddess
    Oh, no!
[03:02] Colleague Goddess
    Huh? What's up?
[03:04] Goddess
    That guy I just reincarnated!
[03:06] Goddess
    I gave him overpowered skills,
    but no one realizes it!
[03:09] Colleague Goddess
    What's that mean?
[03:09] Goddess
    Turns out the measuring devices in
    that world only go up to two digits!
[03:14] Goddess
    Also, I forgot to give him an element!
[03:17] Colleague Goddess
    Wait, what did you set his level to?
[03:21] Goddess
    1002!
[03:23] Colleague Goddess
    That's in a whole 'nother ballpark...

SIGN    Starting at Rock Bottom After Reincarnation
[05:02] Haruto
    No can do!
[05:03] Haruto
    My baby strength is getting me nowhere!
[05:05] Haruto
    I'm in a real pickle!
[05:08] Haruto
    Didn't that guy say I can use barrier magic?
[05:11] Haruto
    Okay, let's give it a go!
[05:14] Haruto
    How do I visualize this?
[05:16] Haruto
    Spherical? Cubic?
[05:19] Haruto
    See-through?
[05:21] Haruto
    Oh! Let's go, baby!
[05:25] Haruto
    Hi-yah!
[05:26] Haruto
    Here we go!
[05:28] Haruto
    Who knew magic would be so easy?
[05:32] Haruto
    I can enlarge it, or give it a color.
[05:36] Haruto
    It feels like the only limit
    here is my imagination.
[05:40] Haruto
    Hm?
[05:40] Haruto
    Wait, can I use this on myself?
[05:46] Haruto
    Oh, it worked!
[05:49] Haruto
    This power's more useful than I thought.
[05:51] Haruto
    Doesn't seem like it uses
    up mana or anything.
[05:54] Haruto
    Now if I come across a wild animal...
[06:00] Haruto
    Whoa! That was fast!
[06:02] Haruto
    Defend!
[06:05] Haruto
    Hey, that's pretty sturdy!
[06:07] Haruto
    In that case, I'll create
    a bunch of small ones...
[06:11] Haruto
    and attack!
[06:15] Haruto
    It's not doing much damage.
[06:17] Haruto
    I need something bigger here!
[06:30] Haruto
    How do you like that?!
[06:32] Haruto
    Whoa, you can still get back on your feet?!
[06:35] Haruto
    You're telling me those
    trees weren't enough?!
[06:38] Haruto
    How about this?!
[06:44] Flay
    H-Hold it right there!
[06:46] Flay
    I surrender!
[06:48] Haruto
    Surrender? Who said that?
[06:51] Haruto
    Whatever, ignore her.
[06:52] Flay
    Whoa!
[06:54] Flay
    H-Hey!
[06:55] Flay
    I said I surrender!
[06:57] Haruto
    Oh, it was the doggy!
[07:06] Flay
    I was planning on eating you
    to replenish my mana...
[07:10] Flay
    Who knew you'd be so strong?
[07:12] Flay
    What in the world are you?
[07:17] Flay
    You can't speak?
[07:19] Flay
    But your behavior seemed grounded
    in logical reasoning, at least...
[07:23] Haruto
    Talking, huh?
[07:25] Haruto
    Things are a bit annoying like this.
[07:27] Haruto
    I've got it!
[07:28] Haruto
    How about a barrier that
    turns thought into sound?
[07:32] Haruto
    If I attach this to my throat...
[07:36] Haruto
    H-Hello there!
[07:38] Flay
    So you can speak!
[07:41] Flay
    Who are you?
[07:42] Flay
    You look like a newborn human baby to me.
[07:45] Haruto
    What was my name? Reinhardt?
[07:48] Haruto
    That's a mouthful.
[07:50] Haruto
    My name is Haruto!
[07:52] Haruto
    I was born in a faraway kingdom,
[07:54] Haruto
    but I was abandoned on account
    of my low mana level.
[07:57] Flay
    What are you saying?
[07:59] Flay
    I sense mana emanating from you
    that far exceeds human limits...
[08:02] Flay
    Wait! Are you the Demon King reincarnate?!
[08:06] Haruto
    I was actually a jobless
    shut-in in my past life...
[08:08] Haruto
    but I don't want her knowing I'm a loser...
[08:13] Haruto
    Why, yes. I am the Demon King.
[08:17] Flay
    So that was indeed your true identity!
[08:19] Haruto
    She believed it so easily.
[08:20] Flay
    It's little wonder you're so strong.
[08:24] Flay
    I admit defeat. Now, kill me!
[08:27] Haruto
    That seems a bit excessive...
[08:29] Haruto
    I'm fine as long as you don't
    attack me from here on out.
[08:33] Flay
    What generosity!
[08:35] Flay
    I applaud you, Demon King!
[08:37] Flay
    Then I swear upon my name as a proud
    Flame Fenrir to keep that promise!
[08:43] Haruto
    What are you, a samurai?!
[08:44] Haruto
    Is that so? Glad to hear it.
[08:46] Haruto
    All right, Flay. Goodbye!
[08:51] Flay
    What a turn of events!
[08:53] Flay
    I just happened to be walking this way,
[08:55] Flay
    and yet I've been met with such fortune!
[08:58] Flay
    Please wait, Lord Haruto!
[09:00] Haruto
    Lord?
[09:01] Flay
    You've spared my life, and have
    even bestowed upon me a new name.
[09:05] Flay
    Our pact is hereby formed.
[09:08] Flay
    My master.
[09:10] Flay
    I swear to wholly devote myself to you.
[09:13] Haruto
    When I called you "Flay",
    I was just shortening it...
[09:17] Flay
    Such a splendid-sounding name.
[09:19] Haruto
    She's not listening!
[09:20] Haruto
    I didn't mean to enter
    into a pact with you...
[09:24] Haruto
    Huh?
[09:28] Flay
    My master!
[09:29] Flay
    What's the matter?!
[09:31] Haruto
    A problem that can't be solved
    with magic has come up...
[09:35] Haruto
    Let...
[09:36] Flay
    Let?!
[09:38] Haruto
    Let me... suck on some boobies.
[09:41] Flay
    Boobies...
[09:43] Flay
    Do you mean breast milk?
[09:44] Haruto
    I guess I'm asking for too much.
[09:47] Flay
    I'll do something about it.
[09:49] Haruto
    Really?!
[09:50] Flay
    I shall do what I must for my master!
[10:07] Flay
    I've successfully changed
    shape into a human.
[10:12] Flay
    Is something the matter?
[10:13] Haruto
    Put on some clothes!
[10:15] Flay
    M-My apologies!
[10:17] Flay
    For making you behold such a lowly sight...
[10:19] Haruto
    No, that's not what I...
[10:21] Haruto
    There!
[10:30] Haruto
    Wait, that's even sexier!
[10:32] Flay
    The breast milk, then?
[10:34] Haruto
    Yes, please.
[10:39] Haruto
    Why are you stripping?!
[10:40] Flay
    A mother can only start producing
    breast milk after mating.
[10:45] Flay
    Now then, fill me with your seed!
[10:48] Flay
    Go on!
[10:49] Haruto
    She's a total ditz, isn't she?
[10:52] Flay
    My deepest apologies.
[10:55] Flay
    I got your hopes up with
    my thoughtless remarks.
[10:58] Haruto
    Well, it's entirely understandable.
[11:01] Haruto
    Flay?
[11:03] Flay
    Someone's approaching.
[11:04] Haruto
    What?
[11:05] Flay
    Shall I kill them?
[11:06] Haruto
    No, let's start with communication.
[11:08] Haruto
    Ask them what they're after.
[11:15] Haruto
    You should be able to hear me using this.
[11:18] Flay
    Understood.
[11:24] Flay
    What business have you here?
[11:26] Gold
    I'm here for that baby.
[11:28] Flay
    I refuse!
[11:29] Haruto
    Seriously?!
[11:31] Gold
    What right do you have to refuse me?
[11:34] Flay
    Hmph. I suppose I'll tell you.
[11:36] Flay
    He became my master not long ago!
[11:39] Flay
    In other words, he belongs to me!
[11:41] Haruto
    Wait, I don't remember agreeing to that.
[11:45] Gold
    That child belongs to a relative of mine.
[11:48] Gold
    Circumstances led to his abandonment,
    so I've come to save him.
[11:51] Flay
    Save him?
[11:52] Flay
    Why come back for something you abandoned?
[11:55] Flay
    You humans are truly beyond comprehension.
[11:58] Gold
    We have a concept called compassion.
[12:00] Gold
    What's more, I figured that
    baby must be famished.
[12:05] Gold
    This is breast milk.
[12:07] Gold
    Will you feed him with it?
[12:09] Haruto
    That's it!
[12:09] Flay
    Flay! Take it!
[12:11] Flay
    You fiend! How rotten of you!
[12:13] Flay
    Did you plan this, knowing
    I can't make breast milk?!
[12:16] Haruto
    She's ignoring me!
[12:19] Haruto
    Flay! Hurry up and accept it!
[12:21] Haruto
    I'm dying of hunger here!
[12:23] Gold
    Your breast milk is no business of mine,
[12:26] Gold
    but it looks like you're not fit
    to be raising a human child.
[12:30] Flay
    How can you say that with such confidence?!
[12:33] Flay
    And why do you even care
    so much about this child?!
[12:37] Gold
    It's a bit of a personal story.
[12:40] Gold
    My wife was pregnant once.
[12:42] Gold
    Our child never ended up
    seeing the light of day.
[12:47] Gold
    That baby there was abandoned for
    its lack of potential,
[12:50] Gold
    but none of that matters to me.
[12:52] Gold
    Every child that enters this world should
    have the chance to savor life.
[12:58] Gold
    That's all there is to it.
[13:01] Flay
    Wh-What a tragic tale!
[13:05] Gold
    Taking a human child as your master,
    suddenly bursting into tears...
[13:09] Gold
    You're one bizarre demon.
[13:13] Gold
    How about we make a deal?
[13:15] Gold
    If you insist on taking him as your master,
[13:17] Gold
    I can take you in as a personal attendant.
[13:20] Gold
    How's that sound?
[13:23] Flay
    I'll do as you say,
    considering your circumstances.
[13:26] Flay
    I'll watch over him by his side.
[13:29] Gold
    Very well. It's a deal.
[13:38] Gold
    Tear up that garb of his,
    and swaddle him in this instead.
[13:43] Flay
    Oh? A bit of subterfuge?
[13:46] Gold
    Let us be off.
[13:49] Haruto
    Flay, can you get me that breast milk?
[13:52] Flay
    The only breast milk you'll
    be drinking is mine!
[13:55] Haruto
    You're kidding, right?
SIGN    Am I Actually the Strongest?
[14:04] Haruto
    Father. Mother. Char.
[14:06] Haruto
    Good morning, everyone.
[14:08] Gold
    Good morning, Haruto.
[14:10] Haruto
    Nine years have passed.
[14:11] Haruto
    Under the care of Margrave Gold,
    I managed to live on.
[14:16] Haruto
    My original plan was to leave as
    soon as I'd been weaned off milk,
[14:20] Haruto
    but I was met with such kindness and comfort
    that I just couldn't help but stay.
[14:23] Natalia
    Say good morning to your brother.
[14:24] Haruto
    If I have one problem in my life...
[14:30] Haruto
    Being hated by a cute little girl!
[14:33] Haruto
    You're making your brother so sad!
[14:35] Flay
    The two of you are as sullen as ever, I see.
[14:38] Flay
    Can't you do any better
    to cheer up Lord Haruto?!
[14:40] Flay
    Here.
[14:41] Flay
    The head chef put everything
    he had into making this.
[14:43] Flay
    Eat up.
[14:46] Flay
    Here, young lady.
[14:47] Flay
    Make sure you finish it all.
[14:49] Charlotte
    Flay! Good morning!
SIGN    Looks like you're doing
    just fine, young lady!
[14:54] Haruto
    She's super fond of Flay...
[14:56] Haruto
    Why her?!
[14:57] Charlotte
    Hey, hey.
[14:58] Charlotte
    Will you play with me again today?
[15:00] Flay
    No can do.
[15:01] Flay
    I've been entrusted with the important
    task of looking after Lord Haruto.
[15:04] Haruto
    Flay. Please play with her.
[15:07] Flay
    If I must.
[15:09] Charlotte
    Hooray!
[15:13] Charlotte
    Hey, wait for me!
[15:16] Flay
    You're too slow, young lady!
[15:20] Natalia
    Haruto, don't let it bother you.
[15:22] Haruto
    Mom.
[15:24] Haruto
    It really doesn't bother me.
[15:27] Natalia
    Doesn't look that way to me.
[15:29] Natalia
    I think the reason Charlotte
    is shy around you
[15:33] Natalia
    is because she doesn't know how
    to act around a boy her age.
[15:37] Haruto
    You think?
[15:38] Natalia
    I'm sure of it!
[15:41] Natalia
    I mean, look at how well she gets
    along with a girl like Flay!
[15:45] Haruto
    Could it be?!
[15:46] Haruto
    Has Char figured out that I'm really
    an old man who's almost thirty?!
[15:52] Charlotte
    You smell like a reclusive old man.
[15:55] Haruto
    That makes sense.
[15:57] Haruto
    Little girls don't want
    to hang out with old men.
[16:00] Natalia
    Come now, no need for dramatics.
[16:02] Natalia
    I have an idea!
[16:04] Natalia
    Why not do something special for Char?
[16:07] Natalia
    If you show Char what a
    reliable brother you are,
[16:10] Natalia
    I'm sure she'll have a change of heart!
[16:12] Haruto
    Huh?
[16:13] Haruto
    I suck at social situations.
[16:15] Haruto
    That's asking for way too much out of me.
[16:17] Natalia
    And you know, you're the heir
    to this fine estate of ours.
[16:21] Natalia
    Instead of holing up in
    your room all the time,
[16:23] Natalia
    why don't you join her outside
    every once in a while?
[16:26] Natalia
    As your mother, I'll do everything
    I can to help you two get along!
[16:31] Haruto
    Yeah... Thanks.
[16:36] Haruto
    I really should leave the nest soon.
[16:39] Haruto
    But if I leave, then Flay would come along.
[16:42] Haruto
    I'm sure that'll only end up
    making Char hate me more.
[16:45] Haruto
    That said, if I tried
    to leave Flay behind...
[16:48] Flay
    If I can't be by my master's side,
[16:51] Flay
    I have nothing more to live for!
[16:53] Haruto
    She'd totally say that.
[16:56] Haruto
    If I stay here, though, I bet they'll
    make me do this and that...
[17:00] Haruto
    What's your take on this?
[17:03] Haruto
    These past nine years, to prepare
    for when I'd have to leave,
[17:06] Haruto
    I've studied as much about barrier magic
    as I could, to create this robot copy...
[17:17] Haruto
    But I still can't get it to talk or move.
[17:21] Haruto
    Hold on.
[17:23] Haruto
    If I want to leave without
    making anyone sad...
[17:27] Haruto
    I need to make a Flay
    doll as well, don't I?!
[17:32] Haruto
    Who is it?
[17:33] Gold
    Haruto, come with me for a moment.
[17:36] Haruto
    That can't be good!
[17:39] Gold
    Starting today, I'll be teaching
    you how to use a sword.
[17:42] Haruto
    See? I knew it!
[17:43] Gold
    Don't look so grumpy about it.
[17:46] Gold
    You have an exceedingly low mana level.
[17:49] Gold
    Which is why we need to have
    you develop other skills.
[17:53] Gold
    Or have you found some other
    field that interests you?
[17:56] Haruto
    Well, that'd have to be shutting mysel—
[17:59] Haruto
    Um...
[18:00] Haruto
    Studying ancient magic?
[18:03] Gold
    Well, I'll be.
[18:05] Gold
    So you see potential in the lost
    magic of the mythical era?
[18:09] Gold
    I thought you were holed up
    in your room doing nothing,
[18:12] Gold
    but you were giving it
    thought in your own way.
[18:14] Haruto
    Well, I should get back to my research...
[18:16] Gold
    Not so fast.
[18:17] Gold
    You might yet have talent with a sword.
[18:20] Gold
    You never know unless you try.
[18:23] Haruto
    Guess I can't weasel my way out of it...
[18:26] Gold
    Come! I'm ready when you are!
[18:28] Haruto
    Dad is a seasoned warrior,
    known as the Earth-Shattering Warhammer.
[18:32] Haruto
    There's no way I can land a hit on him!
[18:35] Haruto
    I really don't want to get hurt,
[18:37] Haruto
    so I'll use a barrier to make up
    for my poor physical ability.
[18:43] Haruto
    Hah!
[18:44] Haruto
    Whoa!
[18:47] Haruto
    I forgot to put a barrier
    up around the sword!
[18:50] Gold
    What was that just now?
[18:53] Haruto
    Huh?
[18:54] Gold
    I'll stop in the nick of time...
[18:56] Gold
    but try and dodge it anyway.
[19:08] Haruto
    That was close!
[19:09] Haruto
    Stop in the nick of time?
    That was a full-on swing!
[19:14] Gold
    That should have been impossible to
    dodge for anyone under level 30.
[19:20] Haruto
    Are you sure?
[19:22] Haruto
    To tell the truth, I also felt
    something was off about that.
[19:28] Haruto
    There was a time when I got my hopes up,
SIGN    A Mija's Crystal
SIGN    that I made myself
    with barrier magic
[19:30] Haruto
    and thought my mana level
    might be in the hundreds...
[19:35] Haruto
    They say that level 77 was the
    highest in all of humanity,
[19:39] Haruto
    so there's no way it'd
    be in the thousands...
[19:42] Haruto
    I have a mana level of 2.
[19:44] Haruto
    And I've confirmed that
    I possess no element.
[19:46] Haruto
    I concluded that my lack of an element
    lets me use magic extremely efficiently.
[19:52] Haruto
    Is that a part of the overpowered
    skills that the Goddess gave me?
[19:58] Gold
    An innate awakening?
[20:00] Gold
    Which means...
[20:02] Gold
    Never mind that.
[20:03] Gold
    You move like a complete amateur.
[20:06] Gold
    Now then, let's continue training,
    and turn you into an elite swordsman.
[20:10] Haruto
    What?!
[20:20] Natalia
    You sure seem busy lately.
[20:23] Gold
    I started teaching Haruto
    how to use a sword today.
[20:28] Natalia
    Oh, how did it go?
[20:31] Gold
    He might be...
[20:33] Gold
    a returned demon.
[20:36] Natalia
    H-How could you say that, dear?!
[20:39] Gold
    Shh.
[20:40] Gold
    Secret royal family records tell
    of a man who had lain with demons.
[20:46] Gold
    Rare as it may be, there are those
    born exhibiting demonic traits.
[20:50] Natalia
    That may be, but Haruto doesn't
    have horns or a tail!
[20:54] Gold
    That's true.
[20:56] Gold
    However, it's said the royal insignia holds
    strange powers we still don't understand.
[21:01] Gold
    The secret to why the demon Flay shows such
    deference to Haruto may lie there, as well.
[21:07] Natalia
    Haruto is a normal boy!
[21:09] Natalia
    Nothing more than that!
[21:14] Gold
    Don't you worry.
[21:15] Gold
    That's what I think, too.
[21:17] Gold
    So no matter what happens,
    we'll make sure our son lives a happy life.
[21:22] Natalia
    Yes, you're right.
[21:28] Charlotte
    There's no way Haruto is a demon.
[21:33] Charlotte

[00:02] Haruto
    Dad's seemed really busy lately.
[00:05] Haruto
    Well, I'm fine with that.
    It means no sword lessons.

[00:09] Maid
    Bring all the bandages and antiseptic we have!
[00:12] Haruto
    Huh? What's all the commotion?
[00:19] Soldier A
    Send for everyone we have
    who can use healing magic!
[00:23] Soldier B
    Over here, too!
[00:25] Soldier B
    Those with severe wounds come first!
[00:32] Haruto
    What happened here?
[00:34] Gold
    I had kept it a secret from you,
[00:36] Gold
    but there's been a rash of attacks
    from thieves in our province.
[00:41] Gold
    We received intelligence about their
    base and were headed there
[00:43] Gold
    when they ambushed us from behind.
[00:47] Gold
    We had exercised caution.
[00:49] Gold
    Made all necessary preparations.
[00:51] Gold
    I swore to take no prisoners,
    but look at us now!
[00:55] Gold
    How humiliating!
[01:00] Gold
    Haruto.
[01:01] Gold
    This must be a grisly sight
    to behold at your young age.
[01:05] Gold
    Don't feel obliged to stay. Go back inside.
[01:14] Flay
    Done in by a band of thieves?
[01:17] Flay
    That blasted Gold is utterly useless!
[01:19] Haruto
    Flay.
[01:22] Haruto
    Shut your mouth.
[01:30] Soldier
    You there! Hurry up!
[01:36] Soldier C
    Huh?!
[01:46] Soldier F

[03:38] Haruto
    Huh?
[03:40] Haruto
    Wait, have you been out
    here this whole time?
[03:44] Haruto
    Are you listening, Flay?!
[03:48] Haruto
    Wait a minute.
[03:49] Haruto
    Was she waiting for me as I slept
    because of that order I gave her?

SIGN    Flay, shut your mouth
[03:53] Haruto
    She sure is stupid...
[03:56] Haruto
    I lost my temper earlier.
[03:58] Haruto
    I'm sorry. You can talk.
[04:02] Flay
    No, it seems I offended you in some way.
[04:06] Flay
    My apologies.
[04:09] Haruto
    She doesn't know why I was mad?!
[04:11] Haruto
    Can you come with me for a minute?
[04:13] Flay
    Of course!
[04:19] Haruto
    We need to start by finding the
    guys who attacked Dad and his men.
[04:35] Haruto
    These guys mostly look like thieves,
[04:37] Haruto
    but some are normal soldiers.
[04:40] Haruto
    Could this be the spot where
    our men were ambushed?
[04:44] Flay
    Don't you think the enemy must
    have known we were coming?
[04:48] Haruto
    You mean a spy?
[04:51] Haruto
    Let's wipe them out.
[04:52] Haruto
    Every last one of them.
[04:53] Flay
    Yes!
[05:12] Minion A
    Excellent work out there, Captain!
[05:15] Boss
    I told you to call me Boss here.
[05:17] Minion A
    Just remembering the flustered look
    on the Earth-Shattering Warhammer
[05:21] Minion A
    makes this booze taste all the sweeter!
[05:23] Boss
    It's too early to be celebrating.
[05:25] Boss
    We did end up letting him get away.
[05:28] Boss
    I can't wait to get rid of him
    and return to our homeland!
[05:31] Minion B
    You said it!
[05:33] Haruto
    I see. So that's what's going on.
[05:37] Boss
    Who goes there?!
[05:41] Minion A
    I-I can't move!
[05:45] Haruto
    All I did was freeze you
    in place with barriers.
[05:48] Minion A
    Barriers?! What nonsense is—
[05:50] Haruto
    Can you be quiet?
[05:55] Haruto
    Look, all you have to do
    is answer my questions.
[06:00] Haruto
    Lie to me, and you'll pay the price.
[06:05] Haruto
    So that's it.
[06:07] Haruto
    You're soldiers from the neighboring empire.
[06:10] Sign
    The Empire
[06:10] Sign
    Border Province
[06:10] Sign
    The Kingdom
[06:10] Haruto
    Infiltrate the kingdom disguised as thieves,
[06:13] Haruto
    with the goal of causing internal mayhem.
[06:16] Flay
    There should have been troops
    guarding the borders.
[06:19] Minion A
    W-We had an accomplice!
[06:21] Haruto
    An accomplice?
[06:22] Boss
    We don't know anything beyond that!
[06:25] Haruto
    You'd need to hold more influence
    than Dad to pull that off.

[06:30] Haruto
    Is there someone in the kingdom
    who's after his life?

[06:35] Boss
    We've told you everything we know!
[06:38] Boss
    We'll call off this operation!
[06:40] Boss
    So please!
[06:41] Haruto
    I understand.
[06:43] Haruto
    Thanks for your cooperation.
[06:45] Haruto
    Flay, could you burn this entire
    fort to the ground?
[06:49] Flay
    Yes!
[06:51] Boss
    We were simply acting on orders!
[06:53] Haruto
    Ah...
[06:54] Haruto
    I really don't give a damn
    about your side of the story.
[06:58] Haruto
    After all, you were the
    ones who ambushed my dad.
[07:02] Haruto
    There's no way I'd let
    you go free after that.
[07:06] Flay
    This is the price you pay for
    incurring my master's rage.
[07:09] Flay
    Taste his vengeance!
[07:11] Boss
    S-Somebody help!
[07:17] Thief 1
    The fort is on fire!
[07:19] Thief 2
    Let's get out of here!
[07:27] Flay
    Good work out there, Lord Haruto.
[07:29] Haruto
    Yeah. You, too, Flay.
[07:32] Haruto
    I don't know much about imperial
    soldiers or conflict between nations.
[07:38] Haruto
    But they started this fight,
    so I don't have to show mercy.
[07:42] Haruto
    For now, I'll send Dad an anonymous
    letter explaining what happened today.
[07:51] Admin Assistant
    We've confirmed that the thieves
    in the fort have been eradicated,
[07:56] Admin Assistant
    as per the letter.
[07:58] Gold
    The entire fort burned to the ground?
[08:00] Admin Assistant
    Indeed.
[08:01] Admin Assistant
    It's unclear how many managed to escape,
[08:04] Admin Assistant
    but the ones we have in
    custody attest to such.
[08:08] Gold
    How could the border
    garrison let this happen?
[08:12] Gold
    They'll need to be thoroughly investigated.
[08:15] Admin Assistant
    As you wish.
[08:21] Gold
    I figured they were no ordinary thieves,
[08:24] Gold
    but to think the Empire was involved...
[08:27] Gold
    What I had feared all
    along has come to pass.

[08:31] Charlotte
    Father.
[08:32] Charlotte
    Who took care of the bad guys?
[08:35] Gold
    Hmm, who could it be?
[08:38] Gold
    The efficiency, lack of compassion,
    and command over fire on display...
[08:43] Gold
    It all seems to point to one person.
[08:45] (Flashback) Flay
    Huh? What's this about?
[08:48] Gold
    Her strength surpasses my own.
[08:51] Gold
    She roams the province to establish
    dominance over monsters,
[08:54] Gold
    so I figured it might have
    been during one such outing.
[09:04] Charlotte
    Father, I remembered I need to go somewhere!
[09:07] Gold
    If you're going to play outside,
    make sure you take someone with you.
[09:11] Charlotte
    Yes!
[09:21] Charlotte
    Just who is *Haruto?
[09:27] Charlotte
    Flay, I have a question for you.
[09:30] Charlotte
    Are there two Harutos?!
[09:34] Flay
    What are you blathering on about now?
[09:37] Flay
    Did you hit your head?
[09:39] Charlotte
    The truth is that last night,
[09:41] Charlotte
    I saw what looked like you and
    Haruto flying through the night,
[09:46] Charlotte
    but I know Haruto doesn't
    have enough mana to fly,
[09:51] Charlotte
    so I went to his room to check.
[09:53] Charlotte
    Haruto was in there,
[09:55] Charlotte
    but I didn't feel his usual scary aura.
[09:59] Charlotte
    What could it all mean?
[10:03] Flay
    So you can sense Lord Haruto's power.
[10:06] Flay
    I'm impressed, young lady.
[10:09] Flay
    What you felt was none other than...
[10:12] Flay
    Lord Haruto's extraordinary mana!
[10:15] Flay
    He has been blessed with
    immeasurable power from infancy.
[10:20] Flay
    It far exceeds human limits!
[10:23] Flay
    So much so that a demon like
    me cannot hope to surpass him!
[10:27] Flay
    In other words, that's just
    how marvelous Lord Haruto is!
[10:32] Charlotte
    Do you know what Haruto really is?
[10:35] Flay
    I certainly do.
[10:36] Flay
    But I cannot reveal it.
[10:39] Flay
    Young lady.
[10:41] Flay
    If you worry too much
    over such trivial matters,
[10:43] Flay
    you'll never grow nice and big.
[10:52] Flay
    That's what happened earlier.
[10:55] Haruto
    Is that right?
[10:56] Haruto
    So Char caught sight of
    us leaving last night.

[10:59] Haruto
    *And *she immediately found out
    about my clone!
SIGN    I need to tell
    Father about this!
[11:03] Haruto
    Wait, does she think I'm incredibly fishy?!
[11:08] Haruto
    Guess I should make some
    surveillance barriers.

[11:11] Haruto
    I'll also set it up to ring an alarm
    based on what Char is up to and where.

[11:17] Flay
    If I may ask, why *are
    *there two Lord Harutos?
[11:22] Haruto
    Don't worry about it.
[11:27] Haruto
    Bathroom... Bathroom...
[11:31] Haruto
    I knew she'd be there.
[11:33] Haruto
    What if I just confront her and
    ask why she's spying on me?

[11:38] Haruto
    Okay!
[11:39] Haruto
    Hey, Char—
[11:47] Haruto
    Didn't work, huh?
[11:49] Natalia
    Haruto! Hurry up and take a bath!
[11:56] Haruto
    There's no way she'd follow
    me into the bath, right?

    There's an annual festival
    this time of year.
[12:48] Gold
    I'm usually the one who makes the journey,
    but they'll be going instead this year.
[12:52] Haruto
    You should take Flay with you, then.
[12:54] Natalia
    I haven't seen her around lately.
[12:57] Natalia
    I thought she was running errands for you.
[12:59] Haruto
    Oh, yeah.
[13:01] Haruto
    I asked Flay to intimidate the monsters
    so they don't attack towns and villages.

[13:07] Haruto
    She's more competent than
    I sometimes give her credit for.

[13:10] Flay
    I could have sworn I just heard Lord Haruto!
[13:15] Charlotte
    Grr...
SIGN    Grr...
[13:18] Haruto
    Those glaring eyes hurt me.

    I'm going to go and get them.
[15:32] Natalia
    So you wait right here.
[15:34] Natalia

[16:10] Imperial Soldier D

[16:13] Group
    Right away!
[16:14] Natalia
    I can't let myself be captured here.
[16:17] Natalia
    In that case...
[16:19] Imperial Soldier D
    What do you think you're doing?
[16:20] Imperial Soldier D
    If you resist...
[16:26] Natalia
    I'm so sorry, Gold.
[16:29] Natalia
    Charlotte.
[16:31] Natalia
    Haruto.
[16:43] Haruto

[17:51] Haruto
    Excuse me?
[17:53] Haruto
    Um...
[17:55] Haruto
    I'm already about to lose it at my very
    first conversation with my sister,

[17:58] Haruto
    but her question is so absurd
    that my brain's gonna shut down!

[18:02] Haruto
    Welp, might as well play along for now.
[18:06] Haruto
    Yep, that's right.
[18:07] Haruto
    I'm a hero of justice.
[18:09] Charlotte
    I knew it!
[18:10] Haruto
    What?
[18:10] Charlotte
    So you got your powers to
    take care of the bad guys!
[18:16] Haruto
    Well... Sure, I guess you could say that.
[18:19] Charlotte
    Mother taught me!
[18:21] Charlotte
    A hero of justice is someone
    who punishes evildoers!
[18:28] Charlotte
    How could I be so foolish?
[18:30] Charlotte
    I've been wrong about you this whole time!
[18:33] Haruto
    Oh, you have to keep this a secret.
[18:36] Haruto
    No one can know my true identity.
[18:38] Charlotte
    If you say so!
[18:39] Charlotte
    I'll have to lie to Father, then!
[18:44] Haruto
    I feel so guilty now...
[18:46] Haruto
    Well, moving on.
[18:49] Haruto
    Okay, I'll go take care of the guys outside.
[18:52] Charlotte
    Of course.
[18:54] Charlotte
    It's your job as a hero of justice, right?
[18:58] Haruto
    Yeah, let's go with that.
[19:05] Admin Assistant
    Lady Natalia and Lady Charlotte
    have both escaped harm.
[19:08] Admin Assistant
    Flay has joined them, and is
    escorting them as we speak.
[19:13] Admin Assistant
    Additionally, a number of
    bodyguards were injured,
[19:16] Admin Assistant
    only to be spontaneously healed once again.
[19:19] Gold
    I see.
[19:20] Gold
    I'd love to thank the person who saved them,
[19:23] Gold
    but it seems he has no intention
    of making himself known.
[19:27] Gold
    Haruto, what are your
    thoughts on the matter?
[19:30] Haruto
    Well, I'm sure he'll stay on
    our side as long as we behave.
[19:37] Gold
    I suppose.
[19:38] Gold
    Charlotte called him a hero of justice,
[19:42] Gold
    so we'll just have to wait and see for now.
[19:45] Haruto
    Yep, yep!
[19:46] Haruto
    Even if more imperial soldiers
    pretend to be thieves and attack,
[19:49] Haruto
    I'm sure he'll take care of them for us.
[19:50] Gold
    How do you know they were imperial soldiers?
[19:54] Haruto
    I-I mean, wouldn't real
    thieves be robbing towns?
[19:58] Haruto
    I figured that was the case
    since they went after Mom...
[20:01] Haruto
    Huh? But that can't be right!
[20:05] Haruto
    You tightened security at the borders!
[20:07] Haruto
    How did they manage to get in here?
[20:09] Gold
    Could they have infiltrated the province
    before we increased security?
[20:13] Haruto
    So close! You almost had it!
[20:16] Gold
    Wait, did someone on our
    side help them get in?
[20:19] Haruto
    That must be it!
[20:20] Gold
    Haruto, sometimes I can hardly
    believe you're only nine years old.
[20:26] Haruto
    Sorry, I'm actually an
    old man on the inside.

[20:29] Gold
    That shrewd vixen...
[20:31] Gold
    It seems she's finally tipped her hand.
[20:34] Haruto
    Shrewd vixen?
[20:36] Charlotte
    Father, we're home!
[20:38] Gold
    Charlotte! Natalia!
[20:42] Gold
    I'm so glad you made it back safely!
[20:49] Charlotte
    Haruto!
[20:52] Charlotte
    Haruto, I missed you!
[20:55] Natalia
    Oh, since when were you two so friendly?
[20:58] Gold
    What's gotten into you?
[21:00] Charlotte
    No, there's no need for concern!
[21:02] Charlotte
    We all have our circumstances,
[21:04] Charlotte
    and I may be a child,
    but it's perfectly fine!
[21:07] Haruto
    Don't word it so misleadingly!
[21:10] Haruto
    Look, they're lost for words!
[21:13] Charlotte
    Anyway, I love Haruto now!
[21:20] Natalia
    Well, isn't that great?
[21:24] Haruto
    I guess it worked out
    since she likes me now?

[21:27] Haruto
    Wait, her cheeks rubbing against me...
[21:29] Haruto
    I like it! I like it a lot!
[21:32] Flay
    Stop that, young lady!

    Let's play together!
[00:07] Haruto
    Would it kill you to knock?
[00:09] Charlotte
    Okay!
[00:12] Charlotte
    I will next time!
[00:15] Haruto
    Since then, Charlotte has been barging
    into my room on a near-daily basis.

[00:20] Haruto
    I guess it was the same
    when she used to hate me,

[00:22] Haruto
    but I honestly have no idea how to deal with
    her now that she won't stop clinging to me.

[00:26] Haruto
    But well, I don't mind.
[00:28] Haruto
    In fact, I find it soothing,
    like being at a petting zoo.

[00:32] Charlotte
    Haruto, what is that?
[00:35] Haruto
    Hmm? Oh, it's surveillance magic.
[00:39] Charlotte
    Is that ancient magic?!
[00:41] Haruto
    Oh, yeah, totally.
[00:44] Charlotte
    Haruto, you're amazing!
[00:48] Haruto
    Oh, yeah, I forgot I told Dad that
    I was studying ancient magic.

[00:53] Haruto
    Yeah, it's a pain in the butt, since it's
    a lost magic with no surviving knowledge.
[00:57] Charlotte
    It's not all lost!
[00:59] Haruto

[02:42] Haruto
    I didn't realize this place existed.
[02:58] Haruto
    Thanks.
[02:59] Charlotte
    You're very welcome!
[03:02] Haruto
    "On the Possibility of
    Reviving Ancient Magic.
[03:06] Haruto
    Ancient magic is non-elemental in nature.
[03:08] Haruto
    Modern magic supplements this
    with the four elements."
[03:12] Haruto
    That's interesting.
[03:14] Haruto
    Maybe my barrier magic is related
    to ancient magic in some respects.

[03:18] Charlotte
    There are lots of theories
    about ancient magic,
[03:22] Charlotte
    but this one's the most interesting.
[03:25] Haruto
    You read this?
[03:27] Haruto
    It's full of hard words.
[03:29] Charlotte
    I had help from Mother and Flay!
[03:32] Charlotte
    So I want you to read it to me, too!
[03:35] Haruto
    All right, then.
[03:37] Haruto
    Time to activate my big bro skills.
[03:45] Haruto
    Char, you know there's a perfectly
    good chair right next to you.
[03:50] Charlotte
    Mother and Flay read to me
    while I sit on their laps.
[03:54] Haruto
    Oh, really?
[03:57] Haruto
    Huh, there are gods who can travel
    between different worlds?
[04:01] Haruto
    That's amazing.
[04:03] Haruto
    Wait, I've seen this before in anime!
[04:07] Haruto
    Aw man, I haven't watched anime in so long!
[04:11] Haruto
    That's the one complaint I
    have about living in this world.
[04:15] Charlotte
    What kind of stories are these "anime"?
[04:19] Haruto
    Oh, it'd take a while to explain,
[04:23] Haruto
    and I don't think you'd really understand.
[04:25] Charlotte
    That's not true!
[04:26] Charlotte
    I'll do my best to listen!
[04:28] Haruto
    R-Really?
[04:30] Haruto
    Here I go, then.

[06:16] Haruto
    I see. I'm glad you like it!
[06:19] Charlotte
    But there's one problem.
[06:21] Charlotte
    I have no idea what she's saying!
[06:23] Haruto
    Oh, yeah, you wouldn't know Japanese.

[07:09] Charlotte
    The giant city of Saitama,

    And the heroes of justice

    If I just go along with it, I can manage!
[07:23] Haruto
    It's been two weeks since Charlotte
    became capable of enjoying anime.

[07:27] Haruto
    She's learned Japanese from anime and
    basically mastered the language.

[07:31] Haruto
    Could it be that Char is actually a genius?
[07:35] Haruto
    If so, I probably shouldn't be
    letting her watch all this anime.

[07:39] Haruto
    But man, she's having so much fun...
[07:43] Haruto
    As her big bro, I need to be strict here.

[09:03] Haruto
    You should take a bath and go to bed early.
[09:18] Haruto
    What are you doing, Charlotte?

    This marked the birth of my edgy alter ego,
[15:37] Haruto
    and it's how I became Charlotte's hero.
[15:44] Haruto
    Finally...
[15:45] Haruto
    Finally, it's complete!
[15:47] Haruto Copy
    I'm Haruto Zenfis.
[15:49] Haruto Copy
    I turned ten this year.
[15:52] Haruto
    How do you feel?
[15:53] Haruto Copy
    I'm fine. No problems here.
[15:55] Haruto
    What's the weather today?
[15:56] Haruto Copy
    Take a look for yourself.
[15:59] Haruto
    Are you hungry?
[16:00] Haruto Copy
    You didn't program that into me, did you?
[16:03] Haruto
    It's been several months.
[16:05] Haruto
    After poring over the books in our library,
[16:07] Haruto
    I tried making a robot copy from what
    little information I could glean.

[16:11] Haruto
    He's irritatingly similar to me.
[16:13] Haruto
    Spectacular!
[16:14] Haruto
    Now I can be a shut-in!
[16:21] Charlotte
    Good morning...
[16:24] Haruto
    H-Hey.
[16:25] Haruto Copy
    You were in here, Char?
[16:27] Charlotte
    There are two Harutos speaking!
[16:29] Charlotte
    Which one is my Haruto?!
[16:32] Group
    Neither of us belong to you.
[16:35] Maid
    Lord Haruto.
[16:36] Maid
    You must get ready to depart soon.
[16:37] Haruto
    Oh, that's right.
[16:38] Haruto
    Can you take my place—
[16:40] Haruto Copy
    Huh? No way.
[16:42] Haruto
    He's useless!
[16:45] Laius
    It's so dusty in here.
[16:48] Laius
    So this is what the boonies are like.
[16:50] Marianne
    How could you be so rude?
[16:52] Marianne
    Weren't you the one who
    insisted on coming along?
[16:54] Gold
    Princess Marianne,
    in addition to Prince Laius.
[16:59] Gold
    Thank you for making the
    long journey out here.
[17:03] Haruto
    I heard he was the heir to the throne.
[17:06] Haruto
    Wait, are these two my blood siblings?!
[17:09] Laius
    Hey, did you just treat
    me as an afterthought?
[17:14] Laius
    I'm the prince, you know!
[17:16] Laius
    The future king!
[17:19] Gold
    Please accept my apologies.
[17:22] Laius
    Good! That's much better.
[17:24] Marianne
    Laius! That's enough!
[17:27] Marianne
    You're forgetting your decorum as royalty!
[17:30] Laius
    Huh?
[17:31] Laius
    Can you cut out the big sister act?
[17:34] Laius
    You don't amount to anything
    more than a political tool.
[17:37] Laius
    Don't act like we're the same.
[17:39] Haruto
    Check out this stereotypical prince.
[17:41] Haruto
    How do you grow up to be this stupid?
[17:44] Magical Girl
    Hey, you were scowling at me just now.
[17:47] Haruto
    Huh?
[17:48] Laius
    Looks like none of you know the
    first thing about manners.
[17:53] Laius
    Could this be the level 2 scum who
    was adopted from an orphanage?
[17:57] Laius
    I'll start by personally
    teaching you some manners.
[18:01] Laius
    Let's have a duel.
[18:03] Gold
    Your Highness, I really don't think...
[18:06] Laius
    Of course, I'll go easy on him.
[18:14] Haruto
    How did I end up getting dragged into this?
[18:18] Laius
    Don't worry, I'll go easy.
[18:21] Haruto
    If you're so cocky, let's check
    out that level of yours.

[18:25] Haruto
    Activate mana assessment!
[18:29] Haruto
    He's currently level 9,
    with a maximum of 40.

[18:33] Haruto
    I think Char said the top sage
    in this world was at level 77.

[18:40] Haruto
    Dad and my sister here are...
[18:43] Haruto
    Oh, damn, he's pretty high-level.
[18:45] Laius
    What are you looking away for?!
[18:51] Laius
    Hey, don't avoid it!
[18:53] Laius
    I can't discipline you that way!
[18:56] Haruto
    Ah, okay.
[18:58] Haruto
    Self-augment.
[19:08] Haruto
    Please have mercy.
[19:09] Laius
    What's the matter?!
[19:10] Laius
    Fight back, if you can!
[19:12] Haruto
    Huh? You're okay with that?
[19:26] Laius
    Damn you!
[19:37] Marianne
    Uncle Gold, is he really only level 2?
[19:41] Marianne
    He'd need to use advanced self-augmenting
    magic to move that quickly.
[19:46] Gold
    I'm not too sure myself.
[19:49] Haruto
    Haruto himself claims not to know,
[19:51] Gold
    so I just decided to accept
    it as the way things are.
[19:55] Marianne
    What? How careless!
[20:03] Marianne
    Laius! Stop that at once!
[20:05] Laius
    Fireball!
[20:13] Laius
    What?
[20:15] Laius
    Damn it, what just happened?!
[20:18] Laius
    Fireball!
[20:19] Laius
    Fireball!
[20:20] Laius
    Fireball!
[20:21] Laius
    Fireball!
[20:23] Marianne
    Stop it already!
[20:24] Marianne
    Do you plan on making a
    bigger fool of yourself?!
[20:27] Laius
    Hey, didn't you see that?
[20:29] Laius
    My magic somehow got absorbed!
[20:32] Haruto
    That's my magic.
[20:34] Laius
    What?
[20:34] Laius
    A level 2 like you can't
    use magic that advanced!
[20:37] Haruto
    Those... fireballs, you said?
[20:41] Haruto
    Should I return them to you, all at once?
[20:56] Haruto
    Finally, it's over!
[20:58] Haruto
    Time to go back to my room and relax—
[21:03] Marianne
    I apologize for my brother's insolence.
[21:06] Haruto
    Nah, it's fine.
[21:08] Haruto
    There's no need for you to apologize.
[21:10] Marianne
    I must ask, are you really level 2?
[21:15] Haruto
    That's right.
[21:16] Haruto
    Well, bye.
[21:21] Haruto
    Oh, yeah, so the royal capital
    knows that I'm level 2?

[21:26] Haruto
    Could it be that my birth parents
    have been looking into me?

[21:30] Haruto
    Still, they threw me away
    without a second thought.

[21:33] Haruto
    Guess they wouldn't really do that.

[00:01] Charlotte
    Ah! Haruto!
[00:03] Charlotte
    I found some people who look suspicious!
[00:06] Haruto
    Char's really taken to these patrols.
[00:10] Haruto
    As a result, I've been downright swamped.
[00:12] Flay
    Master!
[00:14] Flay
    The young lady told me you've
    been going off by yourself,
[00:17] Flay

[00:23] Haruto
    Ugh, she's here to turn

[00:26] Haruto
    I thought you were too busy.
[00:28] Flay
    Not a problem!
[00:30] Flay
    I've finished all my yard work and
    monster subjugation tasks for the day!
[00:34] Haruto
    Ah, she's done everything I asked her to.
[00:37] Charlotte
    Could it be?!
[00:39] Charlotte
    Flay, are you going to
    join forces with him?!
[00:43] Charlotte
    In every story, when the hero is in trouble,
    his partner comes to save the day.
[00:48] Charlotte
    And that partner was Flay all along!
[00:51] Flay
    Exactly!
[00:53] Flay
    I may come up short compared to my master,
[00:55] Flay
    but everyone knows that
    I can still be of help!

[01:07] Haruto
    Listen up, Flay.
[01:08] Haruto
    No graphic violence while Char is watching.
[01:12] Haruto
    Got it?
[01:12] Flay
    Yes!
[01:13] Haruto
    I mean it!
[01:14] Flay
    Understood!

    Didn't I tell you no graphic violence?!
[02:32] Flay
    I remember, but anyone who gets in
    the way of my master is my enemy!
[02:38] Haruto
    She doesn't get it at all!
[02:41] Haruto
    I'm sick of this birdbrain!
[02:44] Haruto
    Stay, stay.
[02:47] Haruto
    You've done enough.
[02:48] Haruto
    I'll deal the final blow.
[02:50] Haruto
    Can you head back first?
[02:51] Flay
    I see. How kind of you, Master.
[02:55] Flay
    I'll be here to see it through.
[02:57] Haruto
    Leave already.
[03:02] Sign
    Tired...
[03:04] Charlotte
    Haruto and Flay, you were both so awesome!
[03:09] Charlotte
    It was like I was watching a manzai routine!
[03:11] Haruto
    What? Manzai?
[03:14] Flay
    Still... I was attacking at my full power...
[03:18] Flay
    but something got in my way,
    so I couldn't be of use.
[03:22] Flay
    However, next time for sure!
[03:25] Haruto
    Seriously, there'll be no next time.

    I can't wait to see more of your manzai!

    Wait, that part?!

[05:27] Laius

[05:34] Laius
    I thought he was supposed

[05:39] Royal Captain
    Your Highness, if I may intrude.
[05:42] Laius
    You may enter.
[05:45] Royal Captain
    It's almost time for the banquet.
[05:51] Royal Captain
    For tomorrow's tour, please ask
    Lady Charlotte to join you.
[05:55] Laius
    Huh? Why a pipsqueak like her?
[05:58] Royal Captain
    I thought you might enjoy her company.

    Yeah, you did.
[06:30] Haruto
    Oh! The food's as fancy as I imagined.
[06:35] Haruto
    Huh? What?
[06:37] Haruto Copy
    You've got some nerve making
    me go to that banquet.
[06:41] Haruto Copy
    We're the same person, so you must
    know how miserable it was for me.
[06:45] Haruto
    Yeah, I wouldn't be able to handle it.

[07:07] Haruto
    Huh? Why are you going, Char?
[07:08] Charlotte
    The prince just invited me to come.
[07:11] Haruto
    Huh...
[07:13] Haruto
    Wait, is he into little girls?
[07:19] Haruto
    Fine, guess I'll go.
[07:27] Haruto
    If Char's coming, I should
    cover all my bases.

[07:31] Haruto
    Let's check out the route for the tour.
[07:39] Haruto
    Who are these guys?
[07:41] Haruto
    Totally looks like they're
    summoning something.

[07:45] Haruto
    Guess I'll go and take a look.
[07:55] Haruto
    Um... excuse me.
[07:57] Haruto
    What are you all doing here?
[08:00] Summoner A
    Wh-Who are you?!
[08:02] Haruto
    Oh, I was just passing by.
[08:05] Haruto
    If you could just get approval
    from the margrave, Gold Zenfis...
[08:08] Summoner A
    Why, you!
[08:10] Summoner A
    You're one of the margrave's men?!
[08:11] Summoner A
    Get rid of him!
[08:13] Summoner A
    Make sure he doesn't escape!
[08:16] Haruto
    That's your answer?
[08:18] Haruto
    In that case, I won't
    show any mercy, either!
[08:28] Summoner A
    We can't let ourselves be done in here...
[08:33] Summoner A
    Come forth! Knight Skeletons!
[08:38] Haruto
    Whoa! My first time seeing
    skeleton soldiers.

[08:42] Haruto
    They're cool in video games,
    but kinda freaky in real life.

[08:45] Summoner A
    Take him down!
[08:55] Haruto
    Ah...
[08:57] Haruto
    Yep, saw that coming.
[08:59] Summoner A
    Keep going!
[09:01] Summoner A
    Restrain his movements!
[09:12] Haruto
    Hmm... this is gonna drag on forever.
[09:15] Haruto
    Wait, those red things in their chests...
[09:20] Summoner A
    One more time!
[09:23] Summoner A
    What's wrong?
[09:24] Summoner A
    What are you doing?!
[09:34] Summoner A
    What's gotten into them?!
[09:36] Summoner A
    I'm left with no choice!
[09:38] Summoner A
    Come forth, golem!
[09:48] Haruto
    Whoa!
[09:49] Haruto
    A real golem! It's so strong!
[09:51] Haruto
    It sure does pack a punch!
[10:01] Summoner A
    Yes! It's working!
[10:03] Summoner A
    Smash him to smithereens!
[10:05] Haruto
    That golem's no joke.
[10:08] Haruto
    My defense there was a bit too flimsy.
[10:10] Haruto
    Now, then...
[10:12] Haruto
    How do I take care of this guy?
[10:15] Haruto
    Hmm?
[10:16] Haruto
    On closer inspection, there's something
    in the golem's chest, as well.

[10:40] Summoner A
    What?!
[10:41] Summoner A
    It suddenly stopped moving!
[10:43] Summoner A
    Hey, move!
[10:44] Summoner A
    Move, I say!
[10:54] Summoner A
    Why is it suddenly attacking us?!
[10:57] Haruto
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[10:58] Haruto
    It's probably my fault.
[11:00] Summoner A
    What?!
[11:01] Haruto
    I was trying to stop it in its tracks,
    so I drove in a stake-shaped barrier,
[11:06] Haruto
    but it looks like I changed
    it to use my magic formula.
[11:08] Summoner A
    What?! You overrode its magic formula?!
[11:12] Haruto
    Well, that's really what happened, so...
[11:15] Haruto
    Um, excuse me.
[11:17] Haruto
    Which one of you is the leader here?
[11:27] Haruto
    Tell me your name and your affiliation.
[11:33] Haruto
    Why did you come here?
[11:37] Haruto
    Wait, am I overstepping my boundaries?
[11:40] Haruto
    I'm not good at talking to people.
[11:43] Haruto
    Hmm, what to do...
[11:46] Haruto
    All right, then.
[11:54] Summoner B
    H-Help!
[11:57] Summoner B
    Captain!
[11:58] Haruto
    Be buried alive like this,
    or tell me the truth.
[11:59] Summoners
    Help us!
[12:02] Summoners
    Stop it!
[12:03] Haruto
    Pick one.
[12:04] Summoners
    Captain!
[12:06] Summoners
    Don't bury us!
[12:09] Summoner A
    I-I'm with the Queen Consort's
    personal Summoner Unit!
[12:15] Summoner A
    We were making preparations,
[12:18] Summoner A
    so that we could attack tomorrow's party for
    the farmland tour with summoned beasts!
[12:23] Haruto
    The Queen Consort?
[12:24] Haruto
    Our kingdom's?
[12:26] Haruto
    Why?
[12:29] Haruto
    What are you after?
[12:32] Summoner A
    O-Our goal...
[12:34] Summoner A
    is to assassinate Charlotte Zenfis!
[12:38] Haruto
    What?
[12:42] Haruto
    Why would the Queen Consort...
[12:44] Haruto
    be after Charlotte's life?
[12:46] Summoner A
    Her magical aptitude will surpass
    even the Queen Consort's some day...
[12:50] Summoner A
    The fear was that if she had
    the backing of the margrave,
[12:53] Summoner A
    the kingdom would eventually
    be split into two.
[12:56] Summoner A
    Previously, we were using imperial
    soldiers, but they failed us twice,
[13:01] Summoner A
    which is why the Queen Consort
    sent us, her own personal unit.
[13:06] Haruto
    Hold on a minute.
[13:08] Haruto
    Using imperial soldiers to attack Dad,
[13:13] Haruto
    as well as the attempt on
    Mom and Char's lives...

[13:15] Haruto
    It was all that woman's doing?!
[13:21] Haruto
    Oh, I see now.
[13:24] Haruto
    It was the same when
    she abandoned me, wasn't it?

[13:29] Haruto
    That woman would resort to anything
    to protect her own status.

[13:36] Haruto
    She'll pay for this.
[13:48] Haruto
    Stop.
[13:53] Haruto
    I was almost about to let it run berserk.
[13:58] Haruto
    I won't let anyone take
    away the people I love.

[14:04] Haruto
    Even if that person is my biological mother.
[14:09] Haruto
    Now, then...
[14:12] Haruto
    how should I deal with her?
SIGN    Am I Actually the Strongest?
[14:32] Charlotte
    Prince Laius, don't be sad
    about losing to Haruto.
[14:37] Charlotte
    You never stood a chance of winning!
[14:41] Charlotte
    In fact, you should be proud you
    even challenged him to a duel!
[14:46] Marianne
    That's right.
[14:47] Marianne
    Besides, there's no shame in losing.
[14:51] Haruto
    Let's leave it at that, you two.
[14:53] Laius
    You're the one person I
    don't want any pity from!
[14:56] Laius
    Also, you didn't use any magic back then!
[15:00] Laius
    What in the world did you do?!
[15:02] Haruto
    I can perform self-augmentation if I tell
    myself something like, "Get nice and strong!"
[15:08] Marianne
    Are you serious?!
[15:08] Laius
    Seriously?!
[15:10] Haruto
    Huh? That's weird.
[15:12] Haruto
    Mom and Dad seemed just fine
    when I explained it like that...

[15:15] Charlotte
    That's amazing, Haruto!
[15:19] Laius
    Wait, are you a returned demon?
[15:22] Marianne
    Laius!
[15:24] Laius
    I mean, it doesn't make any sense otherwise!
[15:28] Haruto Copy
    What's a returned demon?
[15:29] Charlotte
    When a demon marries a human,
[15:32] Charlotte
    their descendants can show
    demonic traits in rare cases.
[15:36] Marianne
    It's true that returned demons display
    extraordinary physical abilities,
[15:40] Marianne
    as well as high mana stores.
[15:44] Marianne
    But I don't see any horns.
[15:46] Marianne
    And his ears and eyes look
    normal, so I don't think...
[15:49] Charlotte
    Haruto's skin is smooth and shiny.
[15:53] Marianne
    Huh?
[15:54] Charlotte
    I say this as someone who's bathed
    with him, so you can rest assured!
[15:58] Marianne
    What?!
[16:00] Laius
    Y-Y-You take baths with your sister?!
[16:04] Marianne
    H-H-Have some shame!
[16:06] Haruto
    I will point out that it wasn't my idea!
[16:09] Charlotte
    Is there something wrong with that?
[16:12] Laius
    Huh? I wouldn't go that far...
[16:15] Laius
    It's more like, it's really not done...
[16:18] Marianne
    A-Also, it's special when a man and woman
    get naked in front of each other...
[16:25] Marianne
    A dignified act to propagate offspring...
[16:27] Haruto
    Wait, just calm down, Marianne!
[16:32] Haruto
    Looks like we're here.
[16:41] Marianne
    What a splendid wheat field.
[16:44] Haruto
    Huh...
[16:45] Haruto
    I've never seen a wheat field before.
[16:48] Haruto
    Japan's full of paddy fields instead.
[16:50] Charlotte
    That's amazing!
[16:51] Charlotte
    There's so much grass growing in the field!
[16:54] Charlotte
    Marianne, let's go take a closer look!
[16:57] Marianne
    Ah! Charlotte!
[16:59] Marianne
    It's dangerous to run like that!
[17:15] Haruto
    Dad, do you have a second?
[17:17] Gold
    What is it, Haruto?
[17:19] Haruto
    I just had a few questions.
[17:28] Gold
    It's not often that you come to me.
[17:31] Gold
    It must be something important.
[17:35] Haruto
    Well... This is purely hypothetical.
[17:40] Haruto
    What would you do if the
    Queen Consort were after Char's life?
[17:45] Haruto
    Oh, uh, sorry for asking
    such a weird question.
[17:49] Gold
    No, it looks like you sense
    that something is happening.
[17:54] Gold
    Last night, I received another
    letter from the Black Knight.
[17:58] Gold
    When I followed his instructions,
[18:00] Gold
    I found the Queen Consort's
    hand-picked magicians, passed out.
[18:04] Gold
    I knew she regarded me as an enemy,
    but to think she was after Charlotte...
[18:10] Gold
    That woman's aim is to
    obliterate us completely.
[18:14] Gold
    But she's the Queen Consort.
[18:16] Gold
    There's no way for us to retaliate.
[18:19] Haruto
    I wish a cruel queen like
    her would just go away.
[18:27] Gold
    Be careful what you wish for.
[18:30] Gold
    It's also the case that without her,
    the royal capital would be in turmoil.
[18:34] Haruto
    Huh? Why's that?
[18:37] Gold
    It's a sad tale, but King Jilq
    fell from power long ago.
[18:43] Gold
    There are many nobles who would
    try and usurp the throne.
[18:47] Gold
    They're kept in check because the
    Queen Consort reigns supreme.
[18:53] Haruto
    In other words, if she died,
    it would spark a civil war.

[18:58] Gold
    Two years before you were born...
[19:00] Gold
    An army led by the king was formed
    to vanquish the Demon King.
[19:05] Gold
    Among them was Gizelotte.
[19:07] Gold
    Single-handedly, she took
    the Demon King's head off.
[19:12] Gold
    Gizelotte was hailed as a hero,
    and became known as the Flash Princess.
[19:18] Gold
    Afterwards, she entered marriage with the
    king, strongly supported by the citizens,
[19:23] Gold
    and grew even more in popularity.
[19:26] Gold
    And now, the Flash Princess is trying
    to take the kingdom for herself.
[19:33] Haruto
    I didn't realize she was so influential.
[19:36] Haruto
    I wanted nothing to do with my parents,
    so I didn't do any research,

[19:40] Haruto
    but that was a mistake.
[19:41] Gold
    Well, if someone powerful showed
    up to replace the Queen Consort,
[19:45] Gold
    that'd be another matter.
[19:47] Haruto
    In that case, why don't
    you become king, Dad?
[19:51] Gold
    I don't know anything about politics.
[19:53] Gold
    I wouldn't be cut out for it.
[19:56] Gold
    But, well...
[20:00] Gold
    There is one person, but they're still too young.
[20:03] Gold
    I want to wait until they're
    grown, at least.
[20:07] Gold
    Still, they're clever.
[20:08] Gold
    I'm sure they'll grow to be exceptional
    enough to lead the kingdom one day.
[20:13] Haruto
    You mean Charlotte?!
[20:15] Gold
    What's more, they have unfathomable ability.
[20:18] Gold
    I don't think they realize it,
[20:20] Gold
    but I think they'll easily surpass the
    Flash Princess in power.
[20:24] Haruto
    Oh, yeah, that guy said she has enough
    aptitude to surpass the Queen Consort.

[20:28] Gold
    After hearing all of this, you know
    exactly what I expect from you, right?
[20:33] Haruto
    Yeah.
[20:35] Gold
    Will you do it?
[20:36] Haruto
    Yeah, of course.
[20:41] Haruto
    What I need to do is keep Char safe
    until she grows to be a fine queen.

[20:46] Haruto
    Once I do that, I can rest easy and enjoy
    life as a shut-in here in this fantasy world.

[20:55] Flay
    Lord Haruto, let me bring you
    the Queen Consort's head.
[21:00] Flay
    I will avenge my master for his past life.
[21:02] Haruto
    No.
[21:03] Haruto
    Sorry, but this is between me and her.
[21:07] Haruto
    It won't mean anything unless
    I kill her with my own hands.
[21:10] Flay
    I see.
[21:11] Flay
    How becoming of you, Lord Haruto.
[21:13] Flay
    I would be honored to witness
    it when the time comes.
[21:17] Haruto
    Yeah.
[21:21] Haruto
    That woman will come
    meddling again for sure.

[21:25] Haruto
    I can't just think about protecting Char.
[21:33] Haruto
    Well then, maybe it's time for a mother-son
    reunion, for the first time in a decade.

[00:04] Gizelotte
    Let me hear what your excuse is.
[00:08] Royal Captain
    A man who calls himself the Black Knight
[00:10] Royal Captain
    is going after all the thieves
    in the border province.
[00:14] Royal Captain
    Most likely, he was also responsible
    for the defeat of the Summoner Unit.
[00:20] Gizelotte
    And?
[00:21] Royal Captain
    I-I swear to repay him one
    day for this dishonor!
[00:27] Gizelotte
    You're hopeless.
[00:29] Gizelotte
    Have you forgotten that
    this is the third time?
[00:32] Gizelotte
    Why have you failed to
    assassinate one measly girl?
[00:38] Gizelotte
    Charlotte Zenfis.
[00:40] Gizelotte
    She will no doubt grow to
    serve as a threat to me.
[00:47] Gizelotte
    The Black Knight.
[00:48] Gizelotte
    What a reckless man, trying to get
    in the way of the Flash Princess.
[00:56] Gizelotte
    Perhaps I should end him with my own hand,
[01:00] Gizelotte
    with the holy sword I used
    to slay the Demon King.
[01:03] Haruto
    Hmm?
[01:04] Haruto
    Wanna fight me, then?
[01:05] Gizelotte
    Who goes there?!
[01:06] Royal Captain
    Your Majesty!
[01:07] Royal Captain
    Please stand back!
[01:15] Haruto
    The Black Knight has arrived.
[01:20] Gizelotte
    There were supposed to be several
    layers of barriers mounted.

[01:24] Gizelotte
    How, exactly, did you
    manage to sneak in here?
[01:26] Haruto
    Barriers?
[01:27] Haruto
    Oh, you mean those shoddy things?
[01:29] Haruto
    I just broke through them.
[01:31] Gizelotte
    You must be the Black
    Knight everyone's talking about.
[01:36] Gizelotte
    How dare you get in my way?
[01:40] Gizelotte
    Now face the consequences.
[01:42] Haruto
    Three magic circles in a row?
[01:56] Gizelotte
    Just stay there and drown, now.
[02:02] Gizelotte
    Be torn from limb to limb!
[02:06] Haruto
    That's some fast synthesis!
[02:09] Gizelotte
    In that case...
[02:17] Gizelotte
    I'll burn you to ashes!
[02:28] Gizelotte
    That was easy.
[02:29] Gizelotte
    So much for the Black Knight.
[02:31] Haruto
    I see you can use not just that sword,
    but multiple elements.
[02:35] Haruto
    So jealous.
[02:37] Gizelotte
    He's unscathed after taking
    all of those attacks?

[02:40] Gizelotte
    Who in the world is this man?!
[02:47] Gizelotte
    What was that just now?
[02:48] Gizelotte
    I blocked it instantly,
    but I barely sensed its aura!

[02:52] Haruto
    Hmm. You blocked it, huh?
[02:55] Haruto
    Time to get serious.
[03:05] Gizelotte
    Such enormous mana levels!
[03:07] Gizelotte
    I'm going to exhaust my mana!
[03:10] Gizelotte
    Not even the Demon King was this powerful!
[03:15] Gizelotte
    I'm running out of mana!
[03:17] Gizelotte
    Not yet! I still have this sword!
[03:49] Gizelotte
    There's no one who can
    rival my swordsmanship!
[03:53] Gizelotte
    I'm the strongest in the world!
[03:57] Haruto
    You're the world's strongest?
[03:59] Haruto
    Nothing to worry about, then.
[04:12] Haruto
    Now, then, it's time for your punishment.
[04:16] Gizelotte
    Wh-What are you...
[04:24] Gizelotte
    Wh-What is this?!
[04:26] Gizelotte
    What is the meaning of this?!
[04:29] Gizelotte
    This thing...
[04:30] Haruto
    If you attempt to remove it by force,
    say good-bye to your head.
[04:35] Gizelotte
    You bastard!
[04:36] Gizelotte
    What are you trying to accomplish,
    humiliating me in this way?!
[04:40] Haruto
    Quite frankly, I don't give a crap about
    your little schemes or how they turn out.
[04:46] Haruto
    I have just one demand.
[04:49] Haruto
    Don't lay a single finger on Margrave Gold
    Zenfis, his family, or his province.
[04:56] Haruto
    That collar will never come off
    until I see fit to forgive you.
[05:01] Haruto
    As for your fate if you defy my demands...
[05:05] Haruto
    I think you know, right?
[05:09] Haruto
    We're done here.
[05:11] Haruto
    Farewell.
[05:18] Gizelotte
    This practically makes me a slave!
[05:41] Flay
    Good work, my master.
[05:44] Flay
    I thought you were being a bit lenient,
[05:47] Flay
    but to see the Flash Princess
    in such utter defeat...
[05:49] Flay
    It was truly a rare sight to savor.
[05:54] Haruto
    This should ensure peace for the time being.
[05:57] Haruto
    But we mustn't let our guard down.
[05:59] Haruto
    Next time, I won't be as merciful.
[06:01] Flay
    I would expect nothing less of my master.
[06:03] Flay
    I will eagerly await that day, then.
SIGN    Five Years Later
[06:17] Charlotte
    Everything is white as
    far as the eye can see!
[06:20] Haruto
    I guess I succeeded in coming off as a
    threat in my fight with the Flash Princess.

[06:25] Haruto
    She hasn't interfered
    in matters here ever since.

[06:29] Haruto
    And so, five years passed uneventfully,
[06:32] Haruto
    with my fifteenth birthday approaching.
[06:36] Haruto
    The winters in these northern
    lands are harsher than I thought,

[06:39] Haruto
    and all I want right now is to be in my room!
[06:45] Charlotte
    Haruto, look at this!
[06:47] Charlotte
    I made a transformation brooch!
[06:50] Haruto
    Unfortunately, Charlotte
     remains an anime otaku.

[06:54] Flay
    Impressive, young lady.
[06:57] Flay
    In that case, I'll challenge you with this!
[07:00] Charlotte
    Whoa, that's amazing!
[07:02] Charlotte
    It looks just like Father's castle!
[07:05] Haruto
    That's some insane quality!
[07:06] Haruto
    She really is so good at
    the most worthless things.

[07:10] Haruto
    Oh, yeah, Flay.
[07:11] Haruto
    Aren't you cold in that?
[07:15] Flay
    What are you saying?

[07:21] Flay
    I can't imagine wearing anything else!
[07:23] Haruto
    In other words, you're a moron.
[07:25] Haruto
    I was so sure you were resistant to the cold.

[07:31] Haruto
    Sheesh, she sure is hopeless.

[08:14] Haruto
    But I can't say no to Char...
[08:17] Haruto
    So, how do you use it?

    Whisper, whisper, whisper.
[08:23] Charlotte
    Whisper, whisper.
[08:23] Haruto
    Um, and I need to do that right now?

    Yes, please!

    Okay.
[08:31] Charlotte
    Hooray!

    Man, that was super embarrassing.

    But it was worth it to make Char happy, I guess.

    Wait, do I get roped into this
    sort of thing every time?

[09:22] Natalia
    Oh, my! What in the world happened here?
[09:25] Charlotte
    Mother! Father!
[09:28] Haruto
    Wait, Char, you asked both of them to come?!
[09:31] Gold
    M-My word!
[09:35] Charlotte
    Oh, no! They'll discover your secret identity!
[09:39] Haruto
    I'm pretty sure it's too late for that.
[09:41] Haruto
    Oh, whatever. It's all or nothing now.
[09:45] Haruto
    Mom. Dad.
[09:47] Haruto
    It was all his doing.
[09:55] Haruto
    He just happened to be passing by,
[09:57] Haruto
    and he showed us his special attack.
[10:04] Gold
    Well, let's leave it at that.
[10:16] Haruto
    Dad, there haven't been any
    incidents lately, right?
[10:16] Charlotte
    Flay, let me help, as well!
[10:19] Gold
    No, nothing in particular.
[10:21] Gold
    I don't know what happened
    to the Queen Consort,
[10:24] Gold
    but Charlotte hasn't been
    targeted since, to my relief.
[10:27] Gold
    What's more, it seems she hasn't appeared
    in public for the past few years.
[10:33] Gold
    Rumors say that she suddenly
    started wearing a slave collar.
[10:38] Gold
    At first, it was dismissed as
    her eccentric fashion taste,
[10:41] Gold
    but now people wonder if she accidentally
    put it on and can't take it off.
[10:47] Gold
    Or if...
[10:48] Gold
    someone deliberately put it on her.
[10:53] Haruto
    Ah, how peaceful.
[10:55] Haruto
    No meddling from the Empire,

"Hey, can you stop by the convenience store?"*

    Factors that mean I can't refuse?
[12:00] Haruto
    I'll go and...
[12:01] Haruto
    crush them myself!
[12:03] Haruto
    I'm going to hole up in my room,
    no matter what it takes!

SIGN    Am I Actually the Strongest?
[12:14] Gold
    Let me ask you one more time.
[12:16] Gold
    Please attend the magic school in
    the capital starting this spring!
[12:19] Haruto
    No way.
[12:20] Gold
    That reminds me.
[12:21] Gold
    When I tried to make you go to a provincial
    school, you were strongly against it.
[12:26] Haruto
    Well, yeah.
[12:28] Haruto
    In my past life, that place was nothing
    less than a living hell for me.

[12:33] Gold
    This time, there's a reason why
    you can't just say, "No way."
[12:39] Haruto
    A recommendation letter?
[12:41] Haruto
    The king singled me out personally?!
[12:44] Gold
    I can't say why the king
    has set his eyes on you.
[12:47] Gold
    If I had to guess, it would be
    because of Princess Marianne.
[12:51] Haruto
    Princess Marianne?
[12:53] Gold
    It seems she took an interest
    in you after that tour.
[12:56] Gold
    King Jilq loves to dote on the princess.
[13:00] Gold
    It being a demand from his beloved
     daughter would explain things.
[13:04] Haruto
    Wait, why does Marianne want
    me to go to that school?

[13:08] Haruto
    It sounds like an elite school, and I'm
    pretty sure I wouldn't survive there.

[13:13] Gold
    Prince Laius will be skipping
    grades to enroll, as well.
[13:17] Haruto
    Huh?
[13:18] Gold
    "I hope you will study and contribute
    to the kingdom's development in tandem."
[13:23] Gold
    In other words, he means,
    "Please be friends."
SIGN    Siiiiiigh
[13:26] Haruto
    Ugh, seriously, what have you done?
[13:30] Haruto
    Just when I was totally ready
    to turn into a shut-in!

[13:34] Gold
    I have my concerns, as well.
[13:37] Gold
    She may be lying low now,
[13:39] Gold
    but it's possible the Queen
    Consort is plotting something,
[13:42] Gold
    and has goaded on Princess Marianne somehow.
[13:46] Gold
    Also, this is purely my personal opinion,
[13:50] Gold
    but as your father, I want you to go and
    see what the greater world has to offer.
[13:55] Gold
    Sure, there's nothing wrong with devoting yourself to solo research in your room,
[13:58] Gold
    but I think this is a good
    opportunity to meet lots of people,
[14:02] Gold
    be stimulated by them,
    and gain deeper insights.
[14:06] Gold
    Maybe I'm just being selfish.
[14:10] Haruto
    Man...
[14:12] Haruto
    Dad really has done so much for me,
    like when he took me in.

[14:17] Haruto
    It would cause problems if we refused, right?
[14:20] Gold
    You could say that.
[14:22] Haruto
    All right. I'll go.
[14:24] Gold
    Thank you.
[14:26] Gold
    Oh, right.
[14:28] Gold
    You should take an attendant, so you
    can devote yourself to your studies.
[14:32] Haruto
    An attendant? To take care of me?
[14:34] Haruto
    I don't need one.
[14:36] Gold
    Living alone in an unfamiliar
    place won't be easy.
[14:39] Haruto
    You think?
[14:41] Haruto
    Hmm, an attendant...
[14:43] Haruto
    An attendant, you say.
[14:45] Gold
    You can't take Flay.
[14:46] Haruto
    Figures.
[14:48] Haruto
    If I brought her along,
    she would only cause problems.

[14:50] Sign
    Master!!
[14:50] Flay
    M-Master!
[14:51] Gold
    I'll prepare a number of candidates.
[14:53] Haruto
    Well...
[14:54] Haruto
    I can't deal with suddenly
    living with a stranger.

[14:57] Haruto
    That said, I can't think of anyone else...
[15:01] Natalia
    It sounds like you're in need!
[15:03] Natalia
    Here, here!
[15:05] Natalia
    How about me?
[15:07] Haruto
    Wait, you were listening in on us?!
[15:09] Natalia
    Three meals a day and cuddling you to sleep!
[15:11] Natalia
    I can handle anything when it
    comes to taking care of you!
[15:13] Natalia
    Experienced at changing diapers!
[15:15] Natalia
    I'm confident in my abilities!
[15:18] Haruto and Gold
    No, I don't think so...
[15:19] [SONG] Sign
    Shock
[15:21] Natalia
    Wh-Why not?
[15:23] Haruto
    I don't think anyone would
    take their mom with them.
[15:26] Natalia
    What?
[15:27] Gold
    Well, there's still three
    months until you enroll.
[15:30] Gold
    Find someone by then.
[15:32] Haruto
    Yes.
[15:34] Haruto
    Well, I may have committed to going,
[15:37] Haruto
    but I won't be actually attending so easily.
[15:41] Haruto
    I call it, "Operation Make
    Sure I Don't Go to School"!

[15:47] Haruto Copy
    Mm-hmm.
[15:48] Haruto Copy
    I see, me going to school.
[15:51] Haruto Copy
    Okay, okay.
[15:53] Haruto Copy
    All right, leave it to me!
[15:55] Haruto Copy
    This is what I was made to do!
[15:58] Haruto Copy
    Did you think that's what I'd say?
[16:00] Haruto Copy
    Of course I'm going to say no.
[16:02] Haruto
    Knew it.
[16:03] Haruto
    Well, since you're me,
    you must know what I'm thinking.

[16:12] Haruto Copy
    I'm a copy, so I can't use magic.
[16:14] Haruto Copy
    Which means you want to make
    them expel me for being useless?
[16:19] Haruto
    You got it, me! You catch on quick.
[16:22] Haruto
    But it needs to be expulsion
    based on the lack of ability.
[16:25] Haruto
    Anything else would cause trouble for Dad.
[16:29] Haruto Copy
    So the plan is to put the blame on the king,
[16:32] Haruto Copy
    for misjudging Haruto Zenfis's
    abilities and recommending him.
[16:38] Haruto Copy
    Seems to me...
[16:39] Haruto Copy
    you could pull that off, too.
[16:41] Haruto
    Ah, well, I still have my barrier magic.
[16:45] Haruto
    If I somehow end up in a fight with
    delinquents, I might just end up using it.
[16:54] Haruto Copy
    So you're saying it's
    fine if they beat me up?!
SIGN    Tsk, I'm too smart
[16:57] Haruto
    Well, even if anything
    were to happen to you...
[17:01] Haruto
    I have plenty of replacements ready to go.
[17:03] Haruto Copy
    What?!
[17:04] Haruto Copy
    I knew it!
[17:06] Haruto Copy
    How many of me have there been before?!
[17:08] Haruto
    I'm kidding.
[17:10] Haruto
    Char wouldn't let me go through with that.
[17:12] (Flashback) Charlotte
    Don't you feel sorry for the other Haruto?
[17:16] Haruto Copy
    So you did consider it, then.
[17:20] Haruto Copy
    I've had it up to here!
[17:22] Haruto Copy
    I don't wanna be this guy's copy!
[17:25] Haruto
    This is what I'd be like if
    I had a mental breakdown?

[17:26] Haruto Copy
    No, no, no, no!
[17:28] Haruto
    Hey, calm d—
[17:29] Haruto Copy
    Shut up!
[17:31] Haruto
    Okay.
[17:32] Haruto
    I'll use a barrier to make
    sure you don't get hurt.
[17:36] Haruto
    But that means you have
    to carry out this mission.
[17:39] Haruto
    I'm not backing down on that one.
SIGN    Siiiiiiigh
[17:44] Haruto Copy
    No matter what I do, I can't escape
    the fact that I'm your copy.
[17:49] Haruto Copy
    I want to enjoy the shut-in life, too!
[17:52] Haruto Copy
    It's all for that!
[17:53] Haruto Copy
    I have no choice...
[17:55] Haruto
    It's in your hands.
[18:00] Haruto Copy
    Yeah.
[18:03] Haruto
    Okay, it's a deal.
[19:39] Haruto
    This is a lakeside log house, a mountain's
    distance away from the castle.

[19:44] Haruto
    I spent five years building it
    as my final shut-in destination.

[19:49] Haruto
    This place really is so nice.
[19:51] Haruto
    Unlike the castle, no one
    will interrupt me here.

[19:56] Haruto
    Oh! Level up!
[19:58] Haruto
    All the time in the world, with just
    me and my homemade handheld console...

[20:02] Haruto

[20:37] Haruto
    You stopped coming to my room to watch
    it, so I thought you'd gotten over it.
[20:41] Charlotte
    Actually, I've been taking more lessons,
[20:44] Charlotte
    and I was told I should stop
    going to your room all the time.
[20:49] Haruto
    Is that their roundabout way of telling
    her to stop clinging to me so much?

SIGN    Dejected
[20:53] Charlotte
    I can't come all the way
    here unless I ask Flay...
[20:56] Charlotte
    I want to watch more anime!
[20:59] Haruto
    I guess it is a pain in the butt to get here.
[21:02] Haruto
    I could use my magic to teleport you...
[21:09] Haruto
    Here we go.
[21:10] Charlotte
    Yes, Haruto!
[21:16] Charlotte
    That's amazing!
[21:17] Flay
    Impressive, my master.
[21:19] Haruto
    I've tested it out to make sure
    it's safe over long distances,
[21:22] Haruto
    but there's one problem.
[21:24] Haruto
    I've never tried it with a living creature.
[21:27] Flay
    Why don't you use your copy, then?
[21:31] Haruto
    You sure can be ruthless sometimes.
[21:33] Flay
    Wasn't he created to be of use to you?
[21:39] Haruto
    Guess I'll try it out, then.
[21:41] Haruto
    Hey.
[21:43] Haruto Copy
    Oh, it's just me.
[21:45] Haruto
    Can you come over here by
    going through this thing?
[21:48] Haruto Copy
    Huh?
[21:49] Haruto Copy

    Don't treat me like your lab rat.

    stuck in that dimension, right?

[02:17] Haruto
    That was close.
[02:19] Haruto
    I almost slipped and mentioned
    the attendant in front of them.

[02:24] Haruto
    I still have three months to look,
[02:26] Haruto
    but who could I possibly find
    that's right for the job?

[02:30] Haruto
    Oh, yeah, if I go this way...
[02:54] Haruto
    That's right.
[02:56] Haruto
    It's a habitat for skeletons now.
[02:59] Johnny
    Yes, those building materials go there.
[03:02] Johnny
    Oh?
[03:05] Johnny
    Why, is that my liege I see?
[03:08] Johnny
    I offer you my warmest welcome!
SIGN    Salute!
[03:18] Haruto
    The Boney Army here is made up of skeletons
[03:21] Haruto
    who were called here by the summoners
    I defeated five years ago.

[03:25] Haruto
    For whatever reason, they started
    following me after that.

[03:29] Haruto
    So I gave them some land, and they
    ended up settling down.

[03:36] Johnny
    I am delighted to see that you've
    made the long journey here.
[03:41] Haruto
    Oh, thanks.
[03:42] Haruto
    This is Johnny,
[03:44] Haruto
    the capable commander of the Boney Army.
[03:47] Johnny
    If you need anything of me,
    I am at your command.
[03:51] Haruto
    Oh, well, it's not a command or anything...
[03:55] Haruto
    but why are there other monsters here?
[03:58] Johnny
    They are stray monsters
    with nowhere else to go.
[04:02] Johnny
    Miss Flay has rounded them
    up throughout the province.
[04:04] Haruto
    That's news to me!
[04:05] Johnny
    Rest assured, they are all properly
    sequestered, and follow my directions.
[04:11] Haruto
    On that note, I don't remember this
    district being here last time I was here.

[04:16] Haruto
    This place has really expanded.
[04:18] Haruto
    Well, if the monsters in our
    province are behaving here...

[04:23] Haruto
    Guess that's fine.
[04:25] Johnny
    Since you're here, would you like to
    visit the other districts, as well?
[04:29] Haruto
    Huh? There's more?
[04:32] Johnny
    Here, we grow the crops
    that serve as our food.
[04:37] Haruto
    Huh...
[04:38] Johnny
    Throughout the year, we plant different
    crops on a seasonal basis,
[04:42] Johnny
    and cultivate those that will preserve well.
SIGN    Blah blah blah blah
[04:46] Haruto
    I see.
[04:51] Johnny
    Why, look at this!
[04:53] Johnny
    We failed to grow these last year,
    and now there's so much!
[04:56] Haruto
    You guys did all this?!
[04:59] Johnny
    Now we won't have to worry
    about food this winter!
[05:03] Haruto
    You're not the ones eating this, right?
[05:06] Haruto
    So this is all for the monsters?
[05:08] Haruto
    How selfless!
[05:10] Johnny
    We'll be able to house additional
    monsters with all of this.
SIGN    Excited
[05:13] Haruto
    You're gonna take in even more of them?!
[05:17] Johnny
    Blah, blah, blah... blah, blah, blah.
[05:19] Johnny
    Blah, blah... blah, blah, blah...
[05:22] Johnny
    Blah, blah, blah, blah!

    Blah, blah, blah... blah, blah, blah, blah.
[05:27] Haruto
    A polite demeanor.
[05:29] Haruto
    Kind and fastidious.
[05:31] Haruto
    Respected by all, and highly loyal to me.
[05:34] Haruto
    Well versed in etiquette, too.
[05:36] Haruto
    What's more, his deep voice
    is music to my ears.

[05:39] Haruto
    If I added on some flesh, I could probably
    make him look pretty much like a human.

[05:44] Haruto
    Could I have found the perfect attendant?
[05:46] Johnny
    In the future, we hope to increase
    production of grain and other feed,
[05:49] Johnny
    thus allowing us to keep more livestock,
SIGN    Blah blah blah
[05:52] Johnny
    but that'll depend on how the western
    district development progresses.
[05:54] ---
    Blah blah blah
[05:55] Johnny
    With that in mind, we still
    face a number of obstacles
[05:57] Johnny
    and, at present, find ourselves
    struggling to make headway,
[05:59] Johnny
    but considering the increase of
    monsters, I believe we can all...
[06:02] Haruto
    He talks too much!
[06:03] Haruto
    That's right. He's so talkative.
[06:03] Sign
    Blah blah blah
[06:06] Haruto
    If I had to listen to this everyday,
    frankly, I'd go insane!

[06:10] Haruto
    So close!
[06:11] Haruto
    It really is a shame...
[06:13] Johnny
    Oh? You have a troubled look on your face.
[06:17] Johnny
    Have I acted in error in some way?
[06:20] Haruto
    Oh, no.
[06:21] Haruto
    I was just impressed at how
    well you've been doing.
[06:25] Johnny
    Oh, I don't deserve such praise!
[06:27] Johnny
    I can feel it in my bones!
[06:29] Johnny
    My liege, I will continue to work
    myself to the bone for you!
[06:34] Johnny
    Just a little skeleton joke!
[06:37] Haruto
    Man, and he really is such
    a nice, honest guy!

[06:41] Johnny
    Now, then, let me take you to our next stop.
[06:43] Haruto
    Oh, I've got other business after this.
[06:47] Johnny
    I see. What a shame.
[06:56] Haruto
    I'm beat.
[06:58] Haruto
    I thought I could relax by myself out here.
[07:02] Haruto
    But before I knew it,
    it turned into a monster paradise!

[07:06] Haruto
    How come nothing ever works out for me?
[07:17] Haruto
    Right. I forgot you were here, too.
[07:22] Haruto
    This is Gigan, the Gigant Golem also
    called here by those summoners.

[07:37] Haruto
    For me?
[07:42] Gigan
    Because... it was pretty.
[07:45] Haruto
    A maiden of pure heart?!
[07:46] Haruto
    Wait, that's what you sound like?
[07:49] Haruto
    Thanks.
[07:51] Haruto
    Gigan is a lot gentler than it looks.
[07:55] Haruto
    It never gets in my way, so you
    could say it'd be a good attendant.

[08:00] Haruto
    But it's huge.
[08:02] Haruto
    Oh, yeah, and it's always all by itself...
[08:06] Haruto
    I hope it's okay.
[08:08] Haruto
    Could it be, you don't like
    being in the village?
[08:13] Gigan
    I... love...

    That's good to hear.

    Love... Master.
[08:23] Haruto
    You meant me?!
[08:30] Haruto
    I just can't seem to find anyone.
[08:35] Haruto
    Huh?
[08:37] Haruto
    Could it be that picking out an attendant
    is actually a lot of hard work?

[08:42] Haruto
    Let's go back for now.
[08:48] Flay
    My master.
[08:49] Flay
    What was this "attendant"
    you mentioned before?

[09:23] Haruto
    Huh?
[09:26] Charlotte
    Schwarze Krieger. Or Shiva for short.
[09:30] Haruto
    What is that, German?
[09:32] Charlotte
    I looked it up on the Internet!
[09:34] Charlotte
    It's the name of a supreme deity that
    reigns over destruction and creation!
[09:38] Charlotte
    I thought it'd be perfect for you!

[10:44] Adventurer
    We've finally tracked it down.
[10:46] Adventurer
    Look at the size of this Blizzard Dragon!
[10:49] Adventurer
    We'll be in for a fat bounty
    if we slay this thing.
[10:58] Adventurer
    It disappeared?!
[11:01] Adventurer A
    Above us!
[11:06] Adventurer A
    What are you doing?!
[11:07] Adventurer A
    After it, quick!
[11:08] Adventurer A
    You're gonna let it get away!
[11:43] Haruto
    What?
[11:44] Haruto
    A large blue dragon near the
    border we share with the Empire?
[11:48] Gold
    Yeah.
[11:49] Gold
    It flew this way from the Empire,
[11:51] Gold
    but it dropped out of the sky before
    it reached our kingdom's borders.
[11:54] Haruto
    So it's not in our province, then.
[11:56] Haruto
    Which means it's none of our business.
[11:59] Gold
    You could say that.
[12:00] Gold
    However, it might show itself
    again and enter our territory.
[12:04] Gold
    The dragon was most likely wounded
    in a hunt within imperial borders.
[12:08] Gold
    So if it does just happen
    to go on a rampage,
[12:10] Gold
    it would cause the loss of
    a great number of lives.
[12:13] Gold
    And that's why...
[12:15] Gold
    I'd like Flay, as a demon,
    to go scope out the situation.
[12:19] Flay
    I refuse!
[12:20] Flay
    I only obey Lord Haruto's commands!
[12:23] Haruto
    Then think of it as an order from me.
[12:27] Haruto
    So much for obeying me!
[12:31] Haruto
    Is there a reason you won't?
[12:33] Flay
    A dragon that large couldn't have
    been born in the past several years.
[12:38] Flay
    However, I know of no blue dragons.
[12:41] Flay
    Which means that while we demons were
    desperately waging war against humans,
[12:45] Flay
    it must have been hiding away in
    the mountains, feigning ignorance.
[12:50] Flay
    I see no reason to offer safe
    harbor to someone so cowardly.
[12:53] Haruto
    I see.
[12:54] Haruto
    This is a very deep-rooted issue for Flay.
[13:00] Haruto
    Can you give me some time
    to think about this?
[13:02] Gold
    Sure.
[13:03] Gold
    Time is of the essence, though.
[13:06] Haruto
    Got it.
[13:13] Haruto
    You shouldn't eavesdrop, Char.
[13:17] Charlotte
    Um, well... I'm sorry.
[13:22] Charlotte
    Flay, can't you help that dragon out?
[13:26] Charlotte
    I'm sure it must feel so helpless,
    all alone and wounded!
[13:30] Flay
    G-Grr...
[13:34] Haruto
    Well, you heard her.
[13:36] Haruto
    A request from Char is a request from me.
[13:40] Flay
    I suppose I must, if you so insist.
[13:44] Flay
    Let's go and wipe out those
    no-good adventurers!
[13:46] Haruto
    That's not what I said.
[13:57] Haruto
    Oh, found it.
[13:59] Haruto
    Huh, so this is what dragons
    look like in this world.

[14:02] Haruto
    It looks like it's in really bad shape.
[14:05] Flay
    Lord Haruto.
[14:12] Haruto
    Looks like we've got no time to spare.
[14:14] Haruto
    Let's go.
[14:15] Flay
    Yes!
[14:25] Adventurer B
    I found it!
[14:30] Adventurer B
    You're not getting away this time!
[14:32] Adventurer B

    I'm sure you've been on edge,

    directly in my head.

[15:53] Haruto
    Flay did that, too.
[15:54] Haruto
    It looks like you can speak,
    so let me ask this.
[15:57] Haruto
    Who, exactly, are you?
[16:02] Liza
    You're a demon, aren't you?
[16:04] Haruto
    Ignoring me, huh?
[16:06] Liza
    Hey, why is a demon like
    you obeying a human?
[16:09] Liza
    Please tell me why.
[16:13] Flay
    If you insist, I don't mind telling you...
[16:16] Flay
    All about how great my master
    is and our fated encounter!
SIGN    One Hour Later
[16:23] Flay
    That's how it is.
[16:25] Flay
    Well? Amazing, right?
[16:27] Liza
    Yeah, I get it now.
[16:29] Liza
    Who could imagine the Demon
    King had reincarnated?
[16:32] Haruto
    Oh, that backstory's still a thing, huh?
[16:34] Liza
    I'm sorry I didn't fight alongside
    the demons during the war.
[16:39] Liza
    I don't like fighting.
[16:42] Haruto
    I see. Guess even demons come
    in all shapes and sizes.

[16:47] Haruto
    So until now, what were
    you up to, and where?
[16:50] Liza
    I lived a quiet life deep in the
    mountains, hoping not to be noticed.
[16:55] Liza
    For about 300 years.
[16:57] Haruto
    Three hundred years?!
[16:58] Haruto
    Sh-She's a shut-in on a whole other scale!
SIGN    Wow
SIGN    Gaze of
    jealousy
[17:02] Haruto
    What did you do that whole time?!
[17:04] Haruto
    Tell me all about it!
[17:06] Liza
    At first, I spent all my days just
    curled up deep inside a cave.
[17:13] Liza
    But one day, an adventurer stayed
    the night and left a book behind.
[17:19] Liza
    I read that book so many
    times, over... and over...
[17:27] (Flashback) Liza
    I want to read more books.
[17:30] Liza
    Before I knew it, I'd flown out of
    my cave and was headed toward town.
[17:55] Liza
    And so, from time to time, in my human form,
[17:58] Liza
    I'd go into human villages
    to take books back with me.
[18:02] Liza
    I did this countless times
    and gained knowledge.
[18:07] Liza
    It was so much fun...
[18:10] Liza
    However, I was discovered by adventurers.
[18:34] Liza
    That's what happened.
[18:37] Flay
    Wh-What a pitiful tale!
[18:42] Flay
    Chased out of your den,
    almost killed by pesky humans...
[18:45] Flay
    It must have been so difficult for you!
[18:48] Flay
    Okay, I acknowledge you as my brethren.
[18:51] Flay
    I will permit you to enter Pandemonium.
[18:53] Haruto
    Huh? Where's that?
[18:56] Flay
    It's your second home.
[18:58] Haruto
    Where'd the name come from?
[18:59] Flay
    The young lady called it that.
[19:01] Haruto
    Is that so?
[19:05] Haruto
    Well, the reason we came here in the
    first place was to offer you shelter.
[19:09] Haruto
    Would you like to come with us?
[19:11] Liza
    I'd be happy to.
[19:12] Liza
    I learned of them through my books...
[19:14] Liza
    Those things called feelings.
[19:16] Liza
    Maybe what I wanted all along was to
    interact with others, just like this.
[19:23] Liza
    That's right, I never did show my gratitude.
[19:26] Liza
    Thank you for saving me earlier.
[19:29] Liza
    I am a Blizzard Dragon.
[19:32] Liza
    I will accept you as my master
    and give my life for you.
[19:39] Haruto
    Th-This turn of events, could it be...?!
[20:00] Haruto
    That's right. I know better, after Flay.
[20:03] Haruto
    It's not a catsuit like last time!
[20:07] Liza
    Where did these clothes come from?
[20:09] Liza
    Creation magic?
[20:11] Liza
    Not understanding the logic behind
    something makes me so uneasy...
[20:14] Haruto
    Well, we can discuss that
    later, little by little.
[20:18] Haruto
    Let me reintroduce myself.
[20:21] Haruto
    My name is Haruto Zenfis.
[20:22] Haruto
    I'm the son of the margrave of
    the nearby border province.
[20:25] Haruto
    Um...
[20:27] Liza
    I don't have my own name,
    so please give me one.
[20:30] Haruto
    Dragon.
[20:32] Haruto

[20:41] Liza
    Yeah, it has a nice ring to it.
[20:43] Liza
    I like it.
[20:45] Liza
    Nice to meet you, Lord Haruto.
[20:53] Flay
    Liza, there's one thing I need you to know.
[21:00] Flay
    I'm the one who first served Lord Haruto!
[21:03] Flay
    And you're the second!
[21:06] Flay
    You know what that means, don't you?
[21:09] Liza
    Yeah.
[21:11] Haruto
    All right. For now, just follow me.
[21:23] Haruto
    I'd expect no less from a dragon.
[21:25] Haruto
    I see you can fly in this form, too.
[21:27] Haruto
    Let's go, then.
[21:28] Liza
    Yeah.

[02:23] Flay
    First, you'll be cleaning outdoors.
[02:25] Liza
    Okay. Got it.
[02:27] Flay
    Listen up.
[02:28] Flay
    This is how you use a broom...

    Liza, I'm going to cancel all
    of my plans for the day.
[09:01] Charlotte
    Issue a summons to the knights.
[09:03] Liza
    Okay.
[09:04] Haruto
    What?!
[09:05] Charlotte
    Convene the Round Table
    for an emergency meeting!
[09:08] Haruto
    Huh? R-Round Table?
[09:10] Haruto
    Huh? What?
[09:15] Charlotte
    My esteemed knights.
[09:17] Charlotte
    You have my utmost thanks for
    assembling here on this busy day.
[09:21] Charlotte
    These meetings of the Round Table
    are a confidential affair.
[09:24] Charlotte
    Please do your best to keep them secret.
[09:27] Gigan
    Yes.
[09:28] Charlotte
    Onto our topic of discussion.
[09:31] Charlotte
    It seems Haruto will begin attending
    school in the royal capital next week.
[09:35] Flay
    What'd you say?!
[09:36] Flay
    That's news to me!
[09:38] Flay
    Why?!
[09:39] Flay
    Why didn't he report this to me first?
[09:42] Charlotte
    Flay, please calm yourself.
[09:44] Charlotte
    I've just received word of it myself.
[09:47] Charlotte
    This is Haruto we're talking about.
[09:49] Charlotte
    There must be a reason for who he told, and when.
[09:53] Flay
    Why school, after all this time?
[09:56] Flay
    There's nothing Lord Haruto
    can learn from measly humans!
[09:59] Flay
    After all, he's the Demon King—
[10:01] Johnny
    Miss Flay.
[10:02] Johnny
    We promised not to mention that.
[10:05] Flay
    Oh... I forgot about that.
[10:07] Charlotte
    What did you just say?!
[10:09] Charlotte
    Is it information regarding
    Haruto that I don't know about?!
[10:13] Flay
    I-It's a secret among demons.
SIGN    Shoooock
[10:22] Johnny
    C-Come now, Lady Charlotte.
[10:25] Johnny
    You are greatly beloved by my liege.
[10:29] Johnny
    Surely you stand considerably above us.
[10:32] Charlotte
    B-Beloved, you say?
[10:34] Johnny
    Our secrets are trifling at best.
[10:37] Johnny
    I'm certain that my liege will
    tell you himself before long.
[10:40] Charlotte
    I-I see. You're right.
[10:42] Liza
    His flattery is working.
[10:45] Charlotte
    Let us continue our meeting.
[10:47] Charlotte
    The real question is why Haruto
    would willingly choose to go.
[10:53] Charlotte
    That's right.
[10:54] Charlotte
    It happened when I started
    watching an anime about school.
[10:59] (Flashback) Charlotte
    Haruto, what is school like?
[11:03] Charlotte
    Upon asking, his response was...
[11:07] Charlotte
    "Oh, it's...
[11:09] Charlotte
    an extremely scary and dangerous place,"
[11:12] Charlotte
    he said.
[11:13] Flay
    My word!
[11:14] Johnny
    Did my liege really say that?!
[11:17] Charlotte
    That's right.
[11:18] Charlotte
    There's no way Haruto could
    be scared of anything.
[11:21] Charlotte
    So what exactly made him say that?
[11:24] Charlotte
    What follows is just a
    theory, going off of anime.
[11:29] Charlotte
    First, there must be a hidden
    student council at school!
SIGN    Evil
[11:32] Charlotte
    And they are leading honest
    students down the path of evil!
[11:37] Charlotte
    They make interlopers face
    them in magical battles,
[11:40] Charlotte
    only to crush them using
    every trick up their sleeve!
[11:42] Sign
    Villain
[11:43] Charlotte
    And behind it all is an evil syndicate that
    could shake the kingdom to its foundations!
[11:49] Charlotte
    There's no way that Haruto could
    let them get away with that!
[11:53] Charlotte
    Which is why he made up his mind,
    to fight them as the Black Knight Shiva!
[11:58] Flay
    It's very possible!
[11:59] Flay
    No, there can be no doubt!
[12:01] Johnny
    If it's a kingdom-wide threat,
[12:02] Johnny
    it'd be impossible to deal with them
    without someone as powerful as my liege!
[12:07] Charlotte
    This is a major problem.
[12:09] Charlotte
    But I'm sure solving it
    will come easy to Haruto.
[12:13] Charlotte
    I imagine Haruto will install an
    Anyplace Door in the capital, as well.
[12:18] Charlotte
    Which is why Flay, Liza, and I will head
    to the capital to gather intelligence.
[12:23] Flay
    Yes.
[12:24] Charlotte
    Johnny and Gigan,
    please prepare for the days to come,
[12:26] Charlotte
    with the further expansion of Pandemonium.
[12:29] Johnny
    Very well.
[12:31] Liza
    Um...
[12:33] Liza
    Shouldn't we talk about all
    of this with Lord Haruto?
[12:40] Charlotte
    We mustn't let Haruto
    fret over such matters.
[12:43] Flay
    We'll only hinder him if we await
    his instructions at every step.
[12:46] Johnny
    Understanding his innermost thoughts
    is my duty as his subject.
[12:50] Charlotte
    We Knights of the Round Table
    exist to serve Haruto.
[12:55] Charlotte
    Now is the time for us to make our stand!
[13:04] Liza
    That's what happened earlier today.
[13:07] Haruto
    I see.
[13:10] Haruto
    Thanks, Liza.
[13:12] Liza
    Huh? Ah, yes.
[13:15] Haruto
    Man, I swear.
[13:17] Haruto
    If you hadn't told me about this,
    who knows what might have happened?
[13:21] Liza
    Um...
[13:23] Liza
    Lord Haruto, are you fighting
    against an evil syndicate?
[13:27] Haruto
    Eh?
[13:28] Liza
    Eh?
[13:30] Haruto
    Liza really is earnest by nature.
[13:33] Haruto
    I need to give a convincing explanation
     so I don't hurt her feelings.

[13:39] Haruto
    Yes, I've actually been
    acting in secret all along.
[13:43] Liza
    So it was all true!
SIGN    Okay!
    Off to
    a good
    start!
[13:45] Haruto
    And I have a favor to ask of you.
[13:49] Haruto
    I want you to come with me to
    the capital as my attendant.
[13:52] Liza
    Huh? Me?
[13:55] Haruto
    I'll go into further detail later,
[13:57] Haruto
    but this is a vital mission
    that only you can pull off.
[14:01] Haruto
    You'll take it on, won't you?
[14:05] Liza
    If you insist, then sure.
[14:08] Haruto
    Got myself an attendant!
[14:09] Haruto
    Okay, so I'll get myself
    kicked out ASAP, then...

[14:13] Haruto
    Thanks to your help,
     I have resolved this matter!
[14:16] Haruto
    Thank you!
[14:17] Haruto
    And with that, everything
    will be squared away.

[14:20] Haruto
    Okay, dismissed.
[14:23] Liza
    Yes.
[14:23] Liza
    Good night, Lord Haruto.
SIGN    A Certain Maid's Work Break
[16:02] Maid B
    What's wrong?
[16:04] Maid D
    My boyfriend told me, "Let's get
    married when I return from the war,"
[16:09] Maid D
    but I've been waiting for
    over two years now...
[16:12] Flay
    A man who can't keep a promise
    needs to be cut off.
SIGN    "Cut off his head"
[16:15] Maid D
    You're right.
[16:17] Maid D
    I guess I should cut him off.
[16:17] Sign
    "Sever ties with him"
[16:20] Maid A
    It looks like my husband is cheating on me.
[16:22] Maid C
    My mother-in-law is so mean to me.
[16:25] Maid B
    The old man next door snores so loudly...
[16:29] Flay
    Cut them off!
SIGN    Decapitate
[16:30] Maid B
    I see.
[16:31] Maid B
    I guess you need to steel
    yourself to cut them off.
SIGN    Custom Made?
[16:40] Charlotte
    Flay, how come your maid outfit
    is different from the others?
[16:46] Flay
    A fine question, young lady.
[16:48] Flay
    It happened the day that
    Lord Haruto ordered me to be a maid.
[16:53] (Flashback) Maid D
    Flay, that outfit is a bit much,
    so please change into these.
[16:57] (Flashback) Flay
    Okay, if I must.
[17:00] (Flashback) SFX
    Tight...
[17:03] (Flashback) Maid A
    Huh?
[17:03] (Flashback) Maid A
    This is the right size, isn't it?
[17:05] (Flashback) Maid B
    I'll go get the largest size we have!
[17:07] (Flashback) SFX
    Busty...
[17:11] (Flashback) SFX
    Boing!
[17:12] (Flashback) Group
    Boing...
[17:15] Flay
    And that's why I had this
    custom made for me.
[17:18] Charlotte
    I see!
[17:20] (Flashback) Flay
    Lord Haruto, what do you
    think about this outfit?
[17:23] (Flashback) Haruto
    Oh, nice.
[17:25] (Flashback) Haruto
    You look good in it.
[17:26] (Flashback) Flay
    I'm glad to hear it's to your liking.
SIGN    I Want to Fly
[17:34] Charlotte
    Flay, can you not fly?
[17:37] Flay
    It's not that I can't.
[17:40] Flay
    I'm just not completely used to flying.
[17:42] Charlotte
    I want to fly, as well!
[17:44] Charlotte
    Please teach me how!
[17:49] Flay
    Okay, but just a little.
[17:53] Flay
    Here I go.
[17:57] SFX
    Whoosh!
[17:59] SFX
    Land.
[18:00] SFX

[18:01] SFX
    Land.
[18:01] SFX
    Whoosh!
[18:07] Flay
    This is what I can do when I'm serious.
[18:10] Charlotte
    That was amazing!
[18:11] Charlotte
    I'm blown away!
[18:14] Haruto
    That's not flying!
[18:16] Natalia
    What are you two doing?
[18:20] Natalia
    What? Flight magic?
[18:23] Natalia
    You're still too young!
[18:25] Natalia
    Don't ask so much of her!
[18:26] Natalia
    Bad girl!
[18:27] Sign
    Shock
[18:37] Flay
    You wait right here!
[18:43] Flay
    Lord Haruto!
[18:45] Haruto
    No need to say any more.
[18:48] Haruto
    Take this with you.
[18:49] Flay
    That's my master!
SIGN    Wibble

[18:53] Charlotte
    Amazing! I'm flying!
[18:55] Natalia
    Wh-What in the world?!
[18:57] Flay
    Rest assured.
[18:58] Flay
    It is perfectly safe.
[19:03] Haruto
    Mission complete.
SIGN    Do You Hate Baths?
[19:09] Charlotte
    Flay, let's go to the castle bath.
[19:12] Flay
    Hmm? No need for that.
[19:14] Haruto
    You're going to stay dirty like that?
[19:17] Flay
    No need for concern!
[19:22] Flay
    Hup!
[19:27] Charlotte
    So cold...
[19:28] Haruto
    She's way too untamed...
[19:31] Charlotte
    You're all clean, but now you're soaking.
[19:33] Flay
    Don't worry.
[19:37] Charlotte
    That's wicked cold!
SIGN    The Legendary Shut-In
[19:42] Flay
    Welcome back.
[19:43] Haruto
    Oh, yeah, how did you spend your time
    when you were holed up in that cave?
[19:48] Liza
    Um...
[19:51] Liza
    I'd wake up around noon,
[19:53] Liza
    read the book I left off on the day before,
[19:56] Liza
    doze off in the afternoon,
[19:59] Liza
    wake up at night and get back to reading,
[20:03] Liza
    then then fall asleep.
[20:05] Haruto
    Now that's an ideal lifestyle!
[20:08] Charlotte
    Oh, wow...
[20:09] Liza
    As a result, by the time I tried
    to return those books,
[20:12] Liza
    ten years had already passed.
[20:14] Haruto
    What about eating?
[20:17] Liza
    About once a week, I guess?
[20:20] Haruto
    And a dieter to boot!
[20:21] Haruto
    She really is a veteran shut-in!
SIGN    A Simple Question
[20:27] Liza
    Lord Haruto.
[20:28] Liza
    I have a question for you, as well.
[20:30] Liza
    Tell me how this door works already.
[20:33] Haruto
    Huh? You were still curious?
[20:35] Haruto
    All I did was connect two barriers.
[20:38] Liza
    That doesn't explain anything at all.
[20:41] Liza
    Teleportation magic is
    extremely advanced magic,
[20:45] Liza
    so it shouldn't be possible
    with just one person.
[20:48] Haruto
    It seems like it doesn't
    consume that much mana,
[20:51] Haruto
    so I don't think that's right.
[20:54] Liza
    Wait, is it not magic from this world?!
[20:58] Haruto
    It looks like she accepted that.
SIGN    I Built an Open-Air Bath
[21:06] Charlotte
    It's so warm!
[21:07] Liza
    Yes, the water feels great.
[21:10] Flay
    Liza, are you fine soaking
    in hot water like that?
[21:13] Liza
    I can handle the cold, but it
    doesn't mean I'm weak to heat.
[21:19] Liza
    Not going to get in the water, Flay?
[21:21] Flay
    I am already!
[21:25] Liza
    Do you not like hot water?
[21:28] Flay
    It's only natural!
[21:29] Flay
    Our kind don't soak in hot water!
[21:32] Liza
    What a shame, after Lord Haruto built this.
[21:34] Charlotte
    It feels really nice!
SIGN    A Few
    Days Later
[21:54] Flay
    Nothing beats a nice bath after work.
[21:57] Haruto
    How's Flay doing?
[21:59] Charlotte
    Oh, it looks like she really likes it!
[22:01] Haruto
    I'm glad to hear it.
SIGN    Mana Assessment
[22:07] Haruto
    I tried making a device to
    measure your mana level.
[22:11] Haruto
    Will you let me check your mana levels?
[22:13] Flay
    As you wish.
[22:14] Charlotte
    Yes!
[22:19] Charlotte
    Wow, Flay!
[22:20] Charlotte
    Liza's amazing, as well!
[22:22] Haruto
    Demons have high mana to begin with, huh?
[22:25] Haruto
    Hmm? Hold on.
[22:27] Haruto
    Char's max level is so high!
[22:30] Haruto
    Wasn't the Queen Consort
    announced to be level 44?

[22:33] Flay
    Not bad, young lady.
[22:35] Charlotte
    You're too kind.
[22:36] Haruto
    With some training, I bet you'd
    hit max level in no time.
[22:40] Charlotte
    No, I won't.
[22:42] Haruto
    Why not?
[22:44] Charlotte
    Before I could even walk or talk,
    I ended up creating a fireball,
[22:48] Charlotte
    so Mother has placed a
    sealing incantation on me.
[22:52] Haruto
    Seriously?!
[22:53] Haruto
    A natural-born genius, right before my eyes!
[22:56] Charlotte
    What about you, Haruto?
[22:58] Flay
    I'm sure he's easily surpassed level 100!
[23:04] Haruto
    Not telling.

[02:00] Marianne
    Laius!
[02:02] Laius
    Hey!
[02:02] Laius
    Don't just barge in like that, idiot!
[02:05] Marianne
    Look at this!
[02:06] Marianne
    I've received a letter from the margrave!
[02:09] Laius
    I bet it just says that Haruto
    set off for the royal capital.
[02:13] Laius
    You don't need to come all this
    way just to tell me that.
[02:15] Marianne
    I worked hard on this because you wanted
    a recommendation letter for Haruto!
[02:20] Marianne
    You have a reason for going
    that far, isn't there?
[02:23] Laius
    I want to know why he's so strong.
[02:27] Laius
    I've been fiercely honing my magic
    and swordsmanship skills since then.
[02:30] Laius
    But as I do, it feels like he only
    moves further from my grasp.
[02:35] Laius
    But if we went to the same school,
    I could learn more about him up close.
[02:39] Laius
    That's all there is to it.
[02:41] Marianne
    I see, so you've been
    changed by your defeat.
[02:44] Marianne
    Although, you're still as cocky as ever.
[02:48] Laius
    What about you, Marianne?
[02:50] Laius
    I hear you stood up to Father.
[02:52] Laius
    Saying you wouldn't budge until
    you got the recommendation
[02:56] Laius
    and refusing to leave your room.
[02:57] Marianne
    What?!
[02:58] Marianne
    Who told you that?!
[02:59] Laius
    I heard the guards talking about it.
[03:02] Laius
    Sounds like you're more
    obsessed with him than I am!
[03:06] Marianne
    I-It's not like I bear feelings
    for Haruto or anything!
[03:10] Laius
    Eh?
[03:11] Marianne
    Eh?
[03:12] Laius
    N-No, I wasn't really talking
    about love or anything there.
[03:18] Laius
    Wait, could it be...
[03:20] Marianne
    Th-That's not it!
[03:26] Laius
    But I hear you've had it hard lately.
[03:29] Laius
    With those weird cultists throwing
     their weight around at the school?
[03:34] Marianne
    You knew about that?
[03:37] Marianne
    Yes, the Church of Lucifyra.
[03:40] Marianne
    A new cult disguised as a branch of the
    state religion, the Church of Mija.
[03:45] Marianne
    They espouse extremist ideologies
    and are said to worship a demon.
[03:49] Marianne
    I hear that it's not just the academy,
[03:51] Marianne
    but that their influence is
    spreading throughout the kingdom.
[03:55] Marianne
    And they pose one more problem.
[03:59] Marianne
    As of late, it seems some of them bring
    up the idea of overthrowing the monarchy.
[04:04] Marianne
    Despite this, there are increasing cases
    of aristocrats joining their ranks,
[04:08] Marianne
    giving them additional sources of funding...
[04:11] Laius
    There are rumors that Mother
    is the source of that funding.
[04:16] Laius
    I don't understand what Mother
    is trying to accomplish.
[04:22] Laius
    She suddenly changed five years ago.
[04:25] Laius
    What happened, exactly?
[04:27] Laius
    Who placed that collar on her neck?
[04:31] Laius
    She won't tell even me.
[04:33] Laius
    To be perfectly honest, I'm scared of her.
[04:38] Laius
    I always knew she was a ruthless person,
[04:42] Laius
    but I get the feeling it's
    only become more extreme.
[04:45] Laius
    By now, the entire kingdom knows that the
    king and queen consort are on bad terms.
[04:49] Laius
    It wouldn't be strange for the
    Church of Lucifyra to try and use that.
[04:54] Laius
    I didn't want to consider the idea,
[04:56] Laius
    but could it be that Mother is out
    to crush Father with all she's got?
[05:03] Laius
    What in the world are we supposed to do?
[05:07] Marianne
    This may be selfish of me...
[05:10] Marianne
    But I think that Haruto might be the
    one who can change this situation.
[05:16] Laius
    Huh? Haruto?
[05:18] Laius
    That seems a bit much.
[05:20] Marianne
    Yes, however...
[05:22] Marianne
    I can't help but place my faith in him.
[05:24] Marianne
    His powers are beyond measure.
[05:27] Marianne
    Perhaps he has the power to topple
    even an entire organization.
[05:33] Laius
    You'd go that far?
[05:35] Laius
    On that topic, I've heard that
    in Margrave Zenfis's province,
[05:38] Laius
    there's a hero of justice
    called the Black Knight.
[05:42] Laius
    Talented enough to defeat a dragon, at that.
[05:46] Marianne
    A dragon?!
[05:47] Marianne
    If we asked him for help, the situation might
    resolve itself surprisingly quickly.
[05:52] Gizelotte
    Oh, what a lively conversation
    you two are having.
[05:55] Laius
    M-Mother?!
[05:58] Marianne
    L-Long time no see, Mother.
[06:02] Gizelotte
    Yes, Marianne.
[06:04] Gizelotte
    You grow lovelier every time I see you,
    just like the former queen consort.
[06:09] Marianne
    Th-Thank you very m—
[06:13] Marianne
    Wh-What are you...
[06:15] Gizelotte
    Where were you looking just now?
[06:18] Gizelotte
    It was this collar, wasn't it?
[06:21] Gizelotte
    Do you find it funny? Pitiful? Shameful?
[06:25] Gizelotte
    Are you ridiculing me like the rest?!
[06:28] Marianne
    No... Please...
[06:32] Laius
    Mother! Please stop this!
[06:40] Gizelotte
    I'm just kidding.
[06:41] Gizelotte
    Nothing more than a joke.
[06:43] Gizelotte
    Marianne.
[06:44] Gizelotte
    Staring so brazenly is unbecoming of a lady.
[06:47] Gizelotte
    Do be careful.
[06:49] Gizelotte
    By the way, I hear you'll be attending the
    same school as Margrave Zenfis's son.
[06:55] Gizelotte
    I wasn't eavesdropping. Oh, no.
[06:57] Gizelotte
    I just happened to overhear it.
[06:59] Gizelotte
    He's coming here from the remote outskirts,
[07:03] Gizelotte
    so I'm sure he'll feel terribly alone.
[07:06] Gizelotte
    Do get along with him, won't you?
[07:11] Gizelotte
    Learn everything you can about the
    Black Knight from that brat.
[07:16] Gizelotte
    And don't tell a soul about it.
[07:19] Gizelotte
    What you learn is for my ears alone.
[07:23] Gizelotte
    You're my son, after all.
[07:26] Gizelotte
    That much should be simple, yes?
[07:32] Gizelotte
    Where's your response?
[07:35] Laius
    Y-Yes, Mother.
[07:52] Laius
    Have I gotten Haruto involved
    in something terrible?

[07:59] Laius
    Sorry, Haruto.
[08:02] Laius
    I'm sorry...
[08:07] Charlotte
    Haruto, shouldn't you head
    over to the capital soon?
[08:12] Haruto
    Has it been that long already?
[08:16] Haruto
    Actually, once we had lost
    sight of the castle,

[08:19] Haruto
    we turned around to come back
    here, carriage and all.

[08:21] Haruto
    I already installed a door near
    the capital a few days ago,

[08:25] Haruto
    so I've been taking it easy here until
    the day I was scheduled to arrive.

[08:31] Flay
    Lord Haruto!
[08:32] Flay
    Please!
[08:33] Flay
    Please reconsider one more time!
[08:35] Haruto
    Enough already!
[08:39] Charlotte
    Flay, we have our own business to attend to.
[08:43] Charlotte
    For now, let's just focus on that.
[08:46] Flay
    Still... Still!
[08:49] Charlotte
    Please leave this place to me.
[08:51] Charlotte
    Haruto, go and accomplish
    your duties in the capital!
[08:55] Haruto
    S-Sure. Got it.
[09:01] Charlotte
    Take care!
[09:03] Haruto
    Okay, I'm going now.
[09:12] Liza
    Lord Haruto, where are we?
[09:14] Haruto
    A forest near the capital.
[09:15] Haruto
    This was the only place
    I could hide the door.
[09:25] Haruto
    It's still a ways off.
[09:28] Haruto
    That said, we'd be spotted if we flew there.
[09:30] Haruto
    Well, guess we're walking.
[09:33] Liza
    Lord Haruto, over there.
[09:38] Haruto
    What is that?
[09:40] Liza
    An Evil Bison, perhaps.
[09:41] Liza
    They're not common around here,
[09:44] Liza
    so maybe this one strayed from its herd?
[09:46] Liza
    It's probably attacking
    humans because it's hungry.
[09:49] Haruto
    Seriously?
[09:50] Haruto
    I thought bison were herbivores.
[09:53] Haruto
    I could ignore them,
[09:55] Haruto
    but I wouldn't hear the end
    of it if Char found out.

[09:59] Haruto
    Well, it's not like we're in a hurry.
[10:00] Haruto
    Fine, then.
[10:02] Haruto
    Transform!
[10:05] Haruto
    I'm off to save them.
[10:06] Liza
    Okay.
[10:07] Haruto
    There!
[10:10] Haruto
    Ah.
[10:16] Haruto
    First off, some barriers!
[10:23] Mother
    Thank goodness! Thank goodness!
[10:34] Iris
    I'll distract the monster!
[10:36] Iris
    All of you flee in the meantime!
[10:38] Haruto
    Oh?
[10:38] Mother
    Hurry! This way!
[10:40] Haruto
    Maybe she's pretty strong?
[10:42] Haruto
    Maybe I'm not needed here.
[10:53] Haruto
    Huh?!
[10:57] Child
    Missy!
[10:58] Mother
    Don't!
[11:13] Iris
    Who in the world...?
[11:17] Iris
    No, should I be thanking you first?
[11:20] Haruto
    She's a bit out there.
[11:22] Haruto
    That's what most people would do.
[11:25] Iris
    Oh, good.
[11:26] Iris
    I was almost rude to the
    person who saved my life.
[11:38] Iris
    It doesn't hurt...
[11:43] Iris
    My wounds are healed?
[11:46] Iris
    Did you do this?
[11:49] Haruto
    Yeah, I couldn't bear to see you hurt.
[11:52] Iris
    This seems different from
    ordinary healing magic, though.
[11:56] Haruto
    I can't have her prying any further...
[11:59] Child
    Missy!
[12:01] Child
    You're not hurt, are you?
[12:03] Iris
    Nope.
[12:04] Iris
    He saved me, so I'm fine.
[12:10] Haruto
    Ah, he definitely thinks I'm suspicious.
[12:15] Child
    Thank you, mister!
[12:16] Child
    That was amazing!
[12:17] Child
    You managed to beat up that huge monster!
[12:23] Haruto
    No need to thank me.
[12:24] Haruto
    I am Shiva, the enforcer of justice!
SIGN    Silence...
[12:31] Child
    Wow! So awesome!
[12:33] Haruto
    The kid liked it, so I'll call it a win!
[12:42] Iris
    Incredible.
[12:44] Iris
    You can do just about anything.
[12:47] Haruto
    By the way, this is a cargo wagon, right?
[12:49] Haruto
    Why were you riding it?
[12:51] Iris
    Oh, it's actually a stagecoach.
[12:54] Haruto
    Huh? Really?!
[12:55] Haruto
    Pretty shabby-looking...
[12:57] Iris
    Even people without a lot of
    money, like me, can ride it.
[13:01] Iris
    I'm quite grateful.
[13:03] Iris
    And, well, you're probably
    expecting a monetary reward...
[13:08] Iris
    I'm sorry.
[13:09] Haruto
    Oh, pay it no mind.
[13:11] Haruto
    A hero of justice expects no reward.
[13:13] Iris
    No, I'll pay you the next chance I get!
[13:16] Haruto
    S-Sure.
[13:18] Haruto
    Well, my work here is
    done, so I'll be going.
[13:21] Haruto
    I need to return that monster to its herd.
[13:24] Iris
    You really are amazing.
[13:27] Iris
    Showing mercy even to monsters...
[13:32] Haruto
    Well, it didn't do anything to me.
[13:36] Iris
    I see.
[13:39] Iris
    If only more people could
    think the way you do.
[13:46] Iris
    Will we ever meet again?
[13:48] Haruto
    Who can say?
[14:05] Haruto
    Liza, you've been frowning this whole time.
[14:07] Haruto
    What's wrong?
[14:09] Liza
    The woman earlier...
[14:11] Liza
    She felt a little strange.
[14:13] Haruto
    Strange how?
[14:16] Liza
    I don't know how to put
    it, other than "strange."
[14:19] Liza
    I might know why if I'd been a bit closer.
[14:21] Haruto
    Huh...
[14:23] Haruto
    Well, I'm not planning on staying
    in the capital for long,

[14:27] Haruto
    so I'd rather not get involved with anyone.
SIGN    Am I Actually the Strongest?
[14:39] Haruto
    What a crowd!
[14:41] Liza
    Yeah.
[14:42] Reception
    New students, please line up here.
[14:45] Haruto
    Eh?!
[14:46] Haruto
    I have to line up there?
SIGN    Ehehe

    Oh, they have a room for
    your attendant, as well.
[15:22] Liza
    Lord Haruto, look!
[15:23] Haruto
    Sorry, Liza.
[15:25] Haruto
    Let's go back for now.
[15:27] Haruto
    I can't relax in here at all.
[15:35] Charlotte
    Welcome back, Haruto!
[15:37] Flay
    Lord Haruto! We've been waiting for you!
[15:40] Charlotte
    How was the royal capital?
[15:42] Haruto
    Oh, well...
[15:44] Haruto
    It was seriously exhausting...
[15:49] Haruto
    Nothing beats home sweet home!
[15:51] Haruto
    I'm starving.
[15:53] Haruto
    Flay, make something.
[15:55] Flay
    Leave it to me!

[15:59] Haruto
    Well, you know...

    Th-That's right!
[16:03] Flay
    We don't need to eat out!
[16:05] Flay
    I'll put everything I have into
     making Lord Haruto a meal!

[16:18] Flay
    Lord Haruto, eating out isn't
    so bad every once in a while!
[16:21] Flay
    I'll be joining you, as well!
[16:23] Haruto
    That's amazing.
[16:24] Haruto
    Char's got Flay eating out
    of the palm of her hand!

[16:27] Charlotte
    Okay, let's start preparing right away.
[16:30] Haruto
    Preparing?
[16:34] Haruto
    What the...
[16:36] Charlotte
    I dressed Flay in cosplay so people
    don't find out she's a demon!
[16:39] Haruto
    No, they'll know for sure.
[16:41] Haruto
    Fine, then.
[16:44] Haruto
    Like with Liza, I just made them invisible.
[16:47] Haruto
    Your ears and tail are still
    there, so be careful.
[16:52] Flay
    That really helps!
[16:54] Flay
    My crotch was feeling
    awfully itchy like that.
[16:58] Charlotte
    Okay, off we go!
[17:08] Charlotte
    Liza, look at this!
[17:10] Charlotte
    There are so many shops!
[17:12] Liza
    Yeah, it's something else.
[17:15] Haruto
    Huh, I didn't think the castle town
    would be bustling with life like this.
[17:19] Charlotte
    Haruto!
[17:21] Charlotte
    Let's go in that restaurant!

    Why?
[17:41] Charlotte
    Flay, you take the southern quarter,
[17:43] Charlotte
    and Liza, the west.
[17:46] Charlotte
    Haruto and I will survey
    the eastern quarter.
[17:49] Haruto
    Huh? You didn't come here to play?
[17:51] Charlotte
    There's that, too, of course.
[17:53] Charlotte
    This is just a contingency.
[17:56] Charlotte
    The enemy has the geographical advantage.
[17:59] Charlotte
    Our goal is simply to gain an
    accurate understanding of the land.

    Please take care not to stand
    out or make a commotion.

    Well, I'll play along with Char here.

    Huh?

    No, I don't think we've ever met.

    I don't remember ever
    seeing your face, either.
[20:25] Iris
    However...
[20:26] Iris
    I feel like I've felt the enormous
    mana emanating from you before.
[20:33] Haruto
    My mana level is a measly two.
[20:35] Haruto
    Calling it enormous just sounds like sarcasm.
[20:38] Iris
    Huh? Is that true?
[20:40] Haruto
    Why would I make up such a shameful lie?
[20:45] Iris
    I see.

    I was mistaken from my
    exhaustion after a long trip.

    I'll be late to my part-time work interview.

    Okay, let's go, Char.
[21:07] Haruto
    Char?
[21:08] Haruto
    What's wrong?
[21:10] Charlotte
    There was something weird about that person.

    It's hard to put into words,
[21:16] Charlotte
    but I think she's no ordinary person.
[21:20] Haruto
    Oh, yeah. Liza said the same thing about her.
[21:24] Haruto
    Can those with high mana levels like

    Huh? An exam?
[00:02] Haruto Copy
    Yeah.
[00:03] Haruto Copy
    A school official suddenly
    showed up at my door,
[00:05] Haruto Copy
    and said I need to take a proficiency
    test before the entrance ceremony.
[00:08] Haruto Copy
    But I refuse to be the one to take it.

    Huh, why not?

    Do you know how I felt, being stuck
    in this room for the last few days?
[00:16] Haruto
    Ah...

[01:53] Haruto
    Okay!
[01:54] Haruto
    Time to answer everything wrong
    and get out of here quick!

[02:02] Haruto
    I don't know any of this.
[02:05] Haruto
    Well, darn.
[02:07] Haruto
    I can't even tell what they're asking.
[02:09] Haruto
    Hmm, in that case...
SIGN    I really don't have a clue here
[02:12] Haruto
    Let's just put down, "No clue."
SIGN    Easy Going
[02:16] Haruto
    I've finished a third of this.
[02:19] Haruto
    Next is barrier magic, huh?
[02:22] Haruto
    They might catch on if I
    pretend not to know anything.

[02:25] Haruto
    Guess I should answer some of these.
[02:27] Haruto
    Um, barriers you create can move.
[02:31] Haruto
    In fact, you can even give them colors.
SIGN    Colorful
[02:34] Haruto
    Mana isn't required to sustain them.
[02:37] Haruto
    Okay.
[02:38] Haruto
    I don't think they'll give me points
    for such half-assed answers.

[02:42] Haruto
    Last up is ancient magic.
[02:45] Haruto
    I read up on it a while ago as my
     excuse for being a recluse.

[02:49] Haruto
    Oh, yeah, I loved reading stuff from that
    one author with the really long name.

[02:57] Haruto
    Oh, no!
[02:58] Haruto
    I wrote so much without thinking!
[03:01] Polkos
    Now, then, let us switch rooms
    for your mana level assessment.
[03:04] Haruto
    Huh?
[03:05] Haruto
    Actually, my mana level is 2,
[03:08] Haruto
    so there's no need to bother
    with an assessment.
[03:10] Polkos
    My apologies.
[03:11] Polkos
    That's just our policy...
[03:13] Haruto
    Well, if they check it directly,
[03:16] Haruto
    I guess they'll know just how useless I am.
[03:20] Polkos
    Doctor, I've brought him.
[03:24] Tear
    Yes, good work, Polkos.
[03:29] Haruto
    I hear a voice, even though no one's here.

    Yeah! Dark hair is so pretty!
[05:20] Tear
    I like your face, too!
[05:22] Haruto
    Wh-What's the deal with this runt?
[05:27] Tear
    My name is Tearietta Luseiannel.
[05:30] Tear
    I research ancient magic at this school.
[05:33] Tear
    "Huh? This little kid is a professor?"
[05:35] Tear
    I bet that's what you're thinking.
[05:37] Tear
    How insolent of you!
[05:39] Haruto
    Stop reading people's minds!

    Moving on.
[05:42] Tear
    Even with the king's recommendation,
[05:44] Tear
    get on my bad side, and I'll send you
    back home before the entrance ceremony.
[05:49] Haruto
    For real?!
[05:50] Tear
    O-Oh!
[05:51] Tear
    That outburst didn't seem inspired by fear,
SIGN    Ba-dump
[05:54] Tear
    but rather exuberant with high hopes!
[05:57] Haruto
    You're absolutely right!
[05:59] Tear
    I can't say that I hate
    eccentric men like you...
[06:01] Tear
    My chest is swelling up in excitement!
[06:05] Tear
    Hey, just where are you looking?!
[06:07] Tear
    I bet you just thought,
    "There's no swelling at all!"
[06:10] Haruto
    Yeah...
[06:11] Tear
    But being ogled by a young boy
    like you isn't so bad, either!
[06:16] Haruto
    How long is this charade going to continue?
[06:20] Polkos
    Doctor, if we could get
    to the matter at hand.
[06:23] Tear
    Oh, you're right.
[06:26] Tear
    I'll go ahead and confirm
    your magical knowledge.
[06:30] Tear
    Mm-hmm.
[06:36] Tear
    Let's proceed with the assessment.
[06:38] Haruto
    Oh, did she get angry at my garbage answers?
[06:45] Haruto
    Well, the result is still going to be a 2.
[06:48] Haruto
    Let's go.
[07:03] Haruto
    Huh?
[07:04] Haruto
    Seriously? This piece of junk!
[07:07] Haruto
    No way!
[07:08] Haruto
    I thought this crystal
    ball was a precious item!

[07:11] Haruto
    The fact that I broke it means...
[07:13] Haruto
    She must be pretty pissed off!
[07:16] Haruto
    Yes, yes!
[07:17] Haruto
    Give in to your anger and
    order me to go back home!

[07:21] Tear
    S...
[07:22] Haruto
    Yes, go on.
[07:24] Tear
    Spectacular!
[07:26] Tear
    Did you see that, Polkos?
[07:28] Tear
    He shattered the Mija's Crystal!
[07:30] Tear
    This is proof that he possesses so much
    magic, the crystal couldn't handle it!
[07:35] Polkos
    H-Hold on, Doctor.
[07:37] Polkos
    I heard that his maximum mana level was 2!
[07:41] Tear
    Nope, I'm not buying that.
[07:43] Tear
    There are exceptions to everything.
[07:46] Tear
    Besides...
[07:47] Tear
    we still don't understand the underlying
    logic behind Mija's Crystals!
[07:50] Tear
    As magical researchers, we must pursue that
    matter before we can talk about his power!
[07:55] Tear
    And that's not all, you see.
[07:58] Tear
    Yes.
[07:59] Tear
    Problems at a royal magician level
    were a bit too advanced, I see.
[08:03] Haruto
    Royal?
[08:04] Tear
    The courage to put down
    "no clue" for every answer...
[08:08] Tear
    What a breath of fresh air!
[08:10] Tear
    I like it!
[08:12] Tear
    And his explanations of barrier
    magic are simply splendid!
[08:15] Tear
    Great answers for the ancient
    magic portion, too!
[08:18] Tear
    They're practically perfect
    copies of my own writing!

    Ah!
[08:26] Haruto
    She was the author with the
    name that was way too long!

SIGN    Shock
[08:30] Tear
    I've made up my mind, Polkos.
[08:32] Tear
    I'll be taking him under my wing!
[08:34] Tear

    have someone so interesting!
[08:39] Tear
    Keep this matter strictly between us.
[08:41] Tear
    Okay?
[08:41] Polkos
    You were the one who did all
    this by yourself to begin with!
[08:45] Haruto
    Hey, hold on a minute.
[08:47] Haruto
    Have they just been toying
    with me this whole time?!

    I'm supposed to go to the entrance
    ceremony in his place today.

[10:10] Haruto Copy
    The two of us share all
    of our past memories.

[10:13] Haruto Copy
    However, I possess no magic,
    and I'm just an empty vessel.

[10:18] Haruto Copy
    At least I had him cast
    defensive magic on me.

[10:20] Haruto Copy
    And this is for self-defense, huh?
[10:23] Haruto Copy
    I'm nothing more than a copy.

    Hey. You two.
[11:31] Schneidel
    You would walk past me without
    so much as a salute?
[11:36] Iris
    My apologies.
[11:38] Iris
    But I don't recall anything of the
    sort in the academy handbook.
[11:43] Schneidel
    No!
[11:44] Schneidel
    I'm telling you to bow down to me,
     your vice president, Schneidel!
[11:48] Iris
    I'm sorry.
[11:49] Iris
    I've just entered the academy today.
[11:52] Iris
    Is that a part of the rules?
[11:54] Schneidel
    I see now.
[11:56] Schneidel
    You there, then!
[11:58] Schneidel
    Explain it to her.
[11:59] Haruto Copy
    Huh?!
[12:01] Haruto Copy
    Hell if I know!
[12:02] Haruto Copy
    And I don't actually want to spend
    any more time with these people,

[12:05] Haruto Copy
    so time to make up an
    excuse to get out of here!

[12:09] Haruto Copy
    Ah!
[12:10] Haruto Copy
    Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[12:12] Haruto Copy
    Ugh, my stomach!
[12:13] Haruto Copy

[12:14] Haruto Copy
    Can I get going now?!
[12:15] Schneidel
    H-How dare you?!
[12:17] Schneidel
    You mock me with your vulgar lies?!
[12:20] Schneidel
    You'll pay for this!
[12:21] Schneidel
    I'll beat some manners into you directly!
[12:25] Haruto Copy
    Magic?!
[12:26] Haruto Copy
    That thing will kill me if it hits me!
[12:28] Schneidel
    It's far too late to run away!
[12:44] Schneidel
    Repent for your actions here.
[12:50] Haruto Copy
    Man, that scared me!
[12:53] Haruto Copy
    Thank goodness!
[12:54] Haruto Copy
    That defensive barrier worked!
[12:56] Haruto Copy
    Thank you, original self.
[12:58] Haruto Copy
    My uniform's not looking too hot, though.
[13:01] Schneidel
    Not a scratch after that attack?!
[13:03] Haruto Copy
    Ah, whoops.
[13:04] Haruto Copy
    I should have pretended to be in pain.
[13:07] Haruto Copy
    It came a little late, but the pain!
[13:10] Haruto Copy
    Agh! It hurts!
[13:11] Haruto Copy
    It hurts so bad!
[13:13] Schneidel
    That's absurd!
[13:14] Schneidel
    How can you still stand?!
[13:16] Haruto Copy
    My acting was the least
    of the problems here.

[13:25] Iris
    I've assessed the situation and
    thought about what action to take.
[13:30] Iris
    Here, I believe it'd be best to apologize
    for getting you caught up in all of this.
[13:35] Iris
    I'm sorry.
[13:37] Haruto Copy
    Huh? After all that?
[13:38] Iris
    As a second option, I came up
    with an idea to quell his anger.
[13:42] Iris
    However, I still can't
    understand why he's angry.
[13:49] Haruto Copy
    I'm aware of how bad I am at
    communicating with others...

[13:54] Haruto Copy
    but she's even worse at
    reading the room than I am!

[13:57] Schneidel
    D-Damn you!
[14:00] Schneidel
    Damn you! Damn you!
[14:02] Schneidel
    You've made enough of a fool of me!
[14:05] Attendant B
    You mustn't, Lord Schneidel!
[14:07] Attendant B
    You'll end up killing them!
[14:08] Schneidel
    Shut up!
[14:09] Haruto Copy
    Whoa there!
[14:10] Haruto Copy
    That's bad news!
[14:11] Haruto Copy
    Run away! Quickly!
[14:13] Schneidel
    Take this!
[14:29] Haruto Copy
    Time to run away as fast as I can!
[14:30] Schneidel
    My arm! My arm!
[14:40] Haruto
    That sure sounds rough.
[14:43] Haruto Copy
    Afterwards, I was also chased around
    by that pint-sized professor.

[14:58] Haruto
    You go and get some rest.
[15:00] Haruto Copy
    Okay...
[15:04] Haruto
    A magic battle with no warning, though?
[15:07] Haruto
    Something's wrong with this school!
[15:18] Haruto
    I refuse!
[15:21] Attendant B
    This is a duel conforming to
    noble etiquette, you know!
[15:25] Attendant B
    Reject it, and you'll bring dishonor
    to Margrave Zenfis, as well!
[15:29] Haruto
    Seriously?
[15:30] Attendant B
    Also, if you lose on purpose, you'll meet
    a worse fate than if you'd rejected it.
[15:36] Attendant B
    In any case, you'd do well
    to give it your all.

    I should assume that he's pretty skilled.
[15:57] Haruto

[17:02] Haruto
    He's the quintessential

[17:04] Haruto
    Or well, what's she thinking,

    To begin with, you're asking for

[17:27] Iris
    What should I do, then?
[17:29] Schneidel
    Let me think.
[17:32] Schneidel
    Why don't you dance naked, right here?
[17:35] Iris
    N-Not even I can agree to that...

    What's wrong?
[18:14] Schneidel
    Your hands are trembling.
[18:16] Schneidel
    I can ask them to help you, if you want.

    What did you do?!
[19:43] Haruto
    For the sins you've committed,
    I've placed a Vise Block on you.
[19:47] Haruto
    Let me elaborate on three of your sins!
[19:51] Haruto
    First, unfairly picking a fight with a
    new student and causing a commotion.
[19:57] Schneidel
    I'm next in line to be head of the Hafen
    family, as well as vice president.
[20:01] Schneidel
    Upperclassmen are permitted to
    give guidance to underclassmen!
[20:05] Haruto
    Guidance, huh?
[20:07] Haruto
    In other words, it was your
    own arbitrary decision.
[20:11] Haruto
    Second, the duel.
[20:13] Haruto
    How despicable, trying to publicly punish
    an underclassman with no warning.
[20:16] Schneidel
    Th-That's absurd!
[20:18] Schneidel
    It's a perfectly respectable way
    to protect the honor of a noble—
[20:21] Haruto
    C'mon now.
[20:22] Haruto
    If I say that it's wrong, then it's wrong!
[20:25] Schneidel
    That's pure tyranny right there!
[20:27] Haruto
    Huh?
[20:28] Haruto
    Didn't you try and do
    basically the same thing?
[20:31] Haruto
    And finally...
[20:33] Haruto
    You really shouldn't sexually harass girls!
[20:35] Haruto
    Dancing naked?
[20:37] Haruto
    Have you no shame saying that out loud?
[20:41] Haruto
    For those reasons!
[20:43] Haruto
    You'll be living with that for a while.
[20:46] Haruto
    If you use magic or try and take
    it off, it'll clamp down tighter.
[20:50] Haruto
    So be careful.
[20:51] Schneidel
    Extro patro...
[20:55] Haruto
    Seriously, I just told you not to!
[20:58] Haruto
    Call off the duel, since you won't be
    able to fight in two days like this.
[21:01] Haruto
    I'll take it off once you've
    atoned for your sins.
[21:04] Haruto

    So it's him?
[00:04] Teacher
    The margrave's son?
[00:06] Teacher
    Really?
[00:06] Teacher A
    You're amazing!
[00:08] Teacher A
    How did you defeat the Hafen boy?
[00:11] Teacher B
    Maybe that idiot son of the marquis
    learned a lesson from this.
[00:15] Teacher B
    Ah, don't tell him I said that.
[00:17] Teacher C
    By the way, are you really a level 2?
[00:19] Teacher C
    Have you considered a reassessment?
[00:22] Haruto
    W-Well...
[00:27] Haruto
    When they asked me to come in, I thought
    I'd be immediately expelled,

SIGN    Gloomy...
[00:31] Haruto
    but they're all praising me to death...
[00:33] Haruto
    Good lord!
[00:34] Haruto
    This is all that upperclassman's fault!
[00:36] Haruto
    Dang it!
[00:37] Haruto
    How's he gonna make up for this?!
[00:39] Boy Student A
    Hey, that's him, right?
[00:41] Boy Student A
    The guy who brought down Lord
    Schneidel with a single blow?
[00:44] Girl Student A
    I heard he's the son of Margrave Zenfis!
[00:47] Girl Student B
    He's got such a cute face. To think...
[00:50] Haruto
    Huh?
[00:51] Haruto
    Wait, is the whole school talking about me?!
[00:55] Haruto
    I want to hole up in my
    room as soon as I can!

[00:59] Tear
    Oh?
[01:00] Tear
    If it isn't Haruto!
[01:02] Haruto
    I absolutely refuse!
[01:03] Tear
    I didn't say anything yet.
[01:06] Tear
    Well now, I'm sorry about yesterday.
[01:08] Tear
    I do realize I shouldn't have
    talked your ear off like that.
[01:12] Tear
    With that said, won't you
    join my research lab?!
[01:16] Tear
    Oh, yeah, my copy did mention
    that she had cornered him.

[01:20] Haruto
    Sorry, I forgot what we talked about.

    Bye!

[03:04] Tear
    Listen up.
[03:05] Tear
    This academy offers two curricula,
[03:08] Tear
    and you must enroll in one or the other.
[03:11] Tear
    The first is the Knight's Course.
[03:13] Tear
    You learn how to use and apply
    magic in the training rooms.
[03:17] Tear
    It's a course for those looking to become a
    knight or a soldier in the kingdom's main army.
[03:22] Tear
    The other is the Researcher's Course.
[03:24] Tear
    You hole up in a research lab,
[03:26] Tear
    develop new forms of magic,
[03:28] Tear
    and scrabble to find ways
    to utilize them.
[03:31] Tear
    From looking at your entrance exam,
[03:33] Tear
    it seems you have an
    interest in ancient magic.
[03:35] Haruto
    Yes, I suppose...
[03:36] Tear
    Then you should definitely work under me!
[03:40] Haruto
    No, I'd prefer any other lab than yours.
[03:42] Tear
    With that decided, you just
    have to sign this sheet!
[03:45] Haruto
    I said I don't want to!
[03:47] Laius
    Oh!
[03:47] Laius
    Oh, there you are!
[03:49] Laius
    I finally found you!
[03:51] Laius
    Long time no see, Haruto!
[03:55] Laius
    Ow, ow, ow!
[03:57] Haruto
    Um...
[03:59] Haruto
    Who's this guy that suddenly attacked me?
[04:02] Marianne
    Laius!
[04:03] Haruto
    Laius?
[04:04] Marianne
    Good grief!
[04:05] Marianne
    What a violent way to greet someone!
[04:08] Haruto
    Marianne?
[04:10] Haruto
    Huh?
[04:12] Laius
    Ow, ow, ow!
[04:13] Haruto
    This buff dude... is Laius?!
[04:16] Marianne
    It's been so long, Haruto.
[04:19] Haruto
    Marianne is as beautiful as always.
[04:22] Laius
    Wait, have you gotten even stronger?
[04:25] Haruto
    Buff... He's so buff!
[04:28] Haruto
    Um, do you have some business with me?
[04:32] Laius
    Hey now!
[04:33] Laius
    We're both new students here!
[04:34] Laius
    No need for formalities!
[04:36] Haruto
    No, I was talking to the princess.
[04:38] Laius
    What'd you say?!
[04:39] Marianne
    Come now, calm yourself.
[04:41] Marianne
    Haruto, have you decided
    on where to enroll yet?
[04:44] Haruto
    No, not yet.
[04:46] Marianne
    In that case, would you like
    to join my research lab?
[04:49] Laius
    Hey, that's not fair!
[04:52] Laius
    Haruto's going to be with me!
[04:55] Tear
    Wait, hold it!
[04:56] Tear
    He's already decided to join my lab!
[04:59] Laius
    What?
[05:00] Laius
    How is it fair for a teacher
    to be endorsing him?!
[05:02] Tear
    Same goes for you!
[05:04] Tear
    You may be royalty, but I won't back down!
SIGN    Grrrrrrrr...
[05:09] Laius
    Wait, are you...
[05:11] Laius
    Professor Tearietta Luseiannel?!
[05:14] Tear
    Oh?
[05:15] Tear
    The prince has heard of me?
[05:17] Tear
    So the royal family is interested
    in my research, eh?
[05:22] Laius
    Haruto, you really shouldn't go with her.
[05:25] Laius
    She researches musty old magic,
     gets no worthwhile results,
[05:28] Laius
    and is always arguing with
    the other teachers, I hear.
[05:32] Tear
    Highness,
[05:34] Tear
    it's not that my research gets no results.
[05:35] Tear
    It's simply that none of you
    fools can understand it.
[05:39] Laius
    See? That's how she is.
[05:41] Tear
    Come again?!
[05:42] Tear
    You're asking for a fight, punk!
[05:43] Laius
    Haruto's going to enroll
    in the same lab as me!
[05:45] Tear
    No, he's with me!
[05:47] Marianne
    You'll pick me, of course, won't you?
[05:49] Group
    Haruto!
[05:50] Laius
    Well?
[05:50] Marianne
    Well?
[05:51] Tear
    Well?!
[05:52] Haruto
    Huh? What a pain!
[05:55] Iris
    E-Excuse me...
[05:57] Tear
    Tsk! What now?!
[05:58] Tear
    Are you here to steal Haruto, as well?!
[06:00] Iris
    Ah, no...
[06:02] Iris
    I j-just need to talk to him...
[06:05] Haruto
    Huh?
[06:06] Haruto
    Is it something she can't discuss here?
[06:09] Haruto
    Hm? Wait a second.
[06:11] Haruto
    Can't I use this to get myself out of here?
[06:16] Haruto
    Ah, so sorry.
[06:18] Haruto
    I forgot that I'd made plans with her.
[06:21] Group
    What?
[06:22] Haruto
    Later!
[06:25] Marianne
    Laius!
[06:26] Marianne
    Just what is that woman's
    relationship with Haruto?!
[06:28] Laius
    Don't ask me!
[06:31] Tear
    I'll never give up!
[06:34] Tear
    up... up... up...
[06:45] Haruto
    Sorry for dragging you out like that.
[06:47] Haruto
    So, what'd you want?
[06:49] Iris
    Right...
[06:51] Iris
    First, though, I was curious about one thing.
[06:54] Haruto
    What is it?
[06:57] Iris
    Are you the same person as
    the you I met yesterday?
[07:03] Haruto
    What's with her?
[07:05] Haruto
    What are you saying?
[07:07] Iris
    To me, it seems that you're a completely
    different person from yesterday.
[07:14] Haruto
    Whoops.
[07:15] Haruto
    I activated my alert
    mode out of pure reflex.

[07:18] Haruto
    That said, she can distinguish
    between me and my copy,

[07:21] Haruto
    so it's clear that she's no ordinary person.
[07:24] Iris
    What a surprise.
[07:25] Iris
    This is a barrier, is it not?
[07:27] Haruto
    You can see it?
[07:28] Iris
    No, I just sense it vaguely.
[07:33] Haruto
    So? How am I different from yesterday?
[07:37] Iris
    Well, you give off the same
    impression as when we first met.
[07:42] Iris
    However...
[07:43] Iris
    When I met you yesterday,
    I didn't sense any mana at all.
[07:47] Iris
    But today, I feel a force coming from
    you, almost enough to knock me down.
[07:53] Haruto
    Maybe she's just a lot more sensitive
    to mana than other people.

[07:58] Haruto
    But it bothers me that she calls it a force.
[08:01] Haruto
    Flay's the only other one who's
    ever said something like that.

[08:06] Haruto
    So does that mean...
[08:09] Haruto
    Wait, are you a demon?
[08:19] Iris
    Does it look that way to you?
[08:21] Haruto
    No.
[08:23] Iris
    I'd love to ask how you came up with
    that notion, but I think I'll refrain.
[08:29] Iris
    I'm a human being.
[08:31] Iris
    It'd be troublesome otherwise.
[08:32] Haruto
    She words things in the weirdest way.
[08:36] Haruto
    Well, doesn't look like I need
    to be on guard with her.

[08:39] Haruto
    As for your question, I'd appreciate it
    if you'd think of us as the same person.
[08:45] Haruto
    I can't say any more at the moment.
[08:48] Iris
    Yes, I understand.
[08:50] Haruto
    So? Is that all you needed?
[08:53] Iris
    Oh, that's right.
[08:55] Iris
    I must apologize to you, thank you,
    and then ask of you a favor.
[08:58] Haruto
    That's a lot.
[08:59] Iris
    First, my apology.
[09:01] Iris
    I'm sorry for getting you caught
    up in trouble yesterday.
[09:05] Iris
    And thank you for protecting me from
    Schneidel's attacks that followed.
[09:11] Iris
    And finally, as for that favor...
[09:15] Iris
    W-Will you be my friend?!
[09:20] Haruto
    Okay?
[09:22] Iris
    Thank you!
[09:23] Haruto
    Wait, I didn't mean that as a yes!
[09:26] Iris
    What a relief.
[09:28] Iris
    I've never made a friend before!
[09:31] Iris
    I'm so happy!
[09:32] Haruto
    Hold it!
[09:33] Haruto
    Wait, why me?
[09:35] Iris
    I keep running into you,
    so I thought it might be fate.
[09:40] Haruto
    It's true that we keep
    running into each other...
[09:42] Haruto
    Wait, you don't have any friends?
[09:45] Haruto
    What was your life like until now?
[09:47] Iris
    Will you listen to my story?
[09:50] Haruto
    S-Sure.
[09:52] Haruto
    Keep it short, please.
[09:54] Iris
    The truth is...
[09:55] Iris
    I was abandoned after I was born.
[09:57] Haruto
    Whoa! This got real heavy real quick!
[10:00] Iris
    I continued to be abandoned by
    the people I ended up with.
[10:03] Iris
    It happened four times in total.
[10:05] Haruto
    And it's even heavier than
    what happened to me!

SIGN    Heavy baby
[10:08] Haruto
    Wait, that's way too many times!
[10:10] Haruto
    There must have been a reason why.
[10:12] Iris
    The only thing that comes to mind...
[10:16] Iris
    is that I produced speech
    in order to communicate?
[10:19] Haruto
    That's it!
[10:21] Haruto
    Makes sense.
[10:23] Haruto
    Any normal person would be freaked
    out if a baby started talking.

[10:28] Iris
    And so, in the end, I was
    taken in by a monastery,
[10:32] Iris
    but even there, I found myself mistreated.
[10:34] Iris
    The priest there, who was
    the one person kind to me,
[10:37] Iris
    passed away when I was five years old.
[10:40] Haruto
    Oh...
[10:42] Iris
    In what was already a secluded setting,
    I didn't interact with those around me,
[10:46] Iris
    so it seems I'm lacking in common
    sense when it comes to human society.
[10:51] Haruto
    I see now.
[10:53] Haruto
    That's why you want to
    make friends and learn?
[10:56] Iris
    Yes.
[10:58] Haruto
    In that case, you've got the wrong guy.
[11:01] Iris
    What?
[11:02] Haruto
    Not to brag, but I also
    don't have any friends.
SIGN    Past life included
[11:07] Haruto
    I've always been a shut-in, and I
    don't have any common sense, either.
[11:14] Iris
    That's perfect, then!
[11:15] Iris
    Let's learn common sense together!
[11:18] Haruto
    How'd you reach that conclusion?!
[11:19] Iris
    It seems that you and I
    are alike in some ways!
[11:23] Haruto
    Huh?
[11:23] Haruto
    You mean like how we both
    give off loner vibes?

[11:26] Haruto
    Friends...
[11:27] Haruto
    Friends, huh?
SIGN    Ride or Die
[11:29] Haruto
    This is how I imagine them...
[11:32] Delinquent A
    I'm hungry! Go buy us some bread!
[11:35] Delinquent A
    With your money, of course!
[11:37] Delinquent B
    We're friends, aren't we?
[11:39] Haruto
    Hmm? In other words...
[11:41] Haruto
    Can I make use of her to get
    myself out of hassles at school?

[11:46] Haruto
    Then maybe being friends is okay.
[11:48] Haruto
    By the way, have you decided
    on where to enroll?
[11:51] Iris
    Yes, it's a research lab for ancient magic.
[11:55] Haruto
    It's with that professor, of all people?!
[11:58] Tear
    Haruto!
[11:59] Haruto
    But well, I'll just have to suck it up.
[12:03] Haruto
    I'll pick that one, too, then.
[12:05] Haruto
    We're friends, so the same
    lab would be better.
[12:07] Iris
    Really?!
[12:09] Iris
    Friends...
[12:11] Iris
    I see.
[12:12] Iris
    Even after what I told you,
    you'll still be my friend.
[12:17] Iris
    I'm so happy! Thank you!
[12:24] Haruto
    Damn you and your smile
    that could rival Char's!

[12:27] Haruto
    You won't fool me
!
[12:30] Haruto
    Wait, you told me your life story,
[12:33] Haruto
    but you haven't introduced yourself.
[12:35] Haruto
    By the way, I'm Haruto Zenfis.
[12:37] Haruto
    My father is a margrave.
[12:40] Iris
    Oh, you're right.
[12:43] Iris
    I forgot that to communicate in human
    society, you start by giving your name.

SIGN    Am I Actually the Strongest?
SIGN    Sulk...
[13:08] Charlotte
    Ever since Haruto began attending school...
[13:12] Charlotte
    I'm sad that there's less
    time to play with him...
[13:16] Flay
    Don't say it!
[13:17] Flay
    I want just as badly to be
    by Lord Haruto's side...
[13:26] Charlotte
    I've just been struck
    with a flash of insight!
[13:28] Charlotte
    A feeling that something interesting
    has happened to Haruto!
[13:33] Charlotte
    I need to go and see for myself!
[13:35] Flay
    Why won't Lord Haruto allow
    us to go and visit him?!
SIGN    Because she'll likely
    screw things up
[13:42] Flay
    Well, so be it.
[13:43] Flay
    For now, I'll just enjoy this bath.
SIGN    Hmph
[13:46] Liza
    You sure do move on quickly.
[13:49] Flay
    I wouldn't be able to stand it otherwise!
[13:51] Flay
    A servant is supposed to
    be at her master's side.
[13:56] Flay
    But that's not what Lord Haruto wants.
[13:58] Flay
    That's why I feel so conflicted.
[14:00] Liza
    I see.
[14:02] Liza
    You really do take this seriously.
[14:05] Liza
    I didn't like serving other
    people and stuff like that.
[14:09] Liza
    That's why I was all alone.
[14:11] Liza
    You've adapted to this new lifestyle.
[14:15] Liza
    I think that's plenty amazing.
SIGN    Blush
SIGN    Blush
[14:18] Flay
    O-Oh, that's a lot of praise.
[14:21] Flay
    You're making me blush!
[14:24] Flay
    Well, my old job was to gather all
    of the demons near the Demon King.
[14:29] Liza
    Huh? So you were on good
    terms with the Demon King?
[14:33] Flay
    Yes. We were sworn allies.
[14:36] Flay
    He was a kind soul, who always
    put demons and monsters first.
[14:43] Flay
    But that kindness led him to disagree with
    other demons on how to treat humans.
[14:48] Flay
    I had to step in between them often.
[14:51] Flay
    His dream was to create a paradise
    where humans and demons could coexist.
[14:58] Flay
    Thinking back on it,
[15:00] Flay
    maybe he planned on losing to the Flash
    Princess without fighting her all along.
[15:05] Liza
    What do you mean?
[15:06] Flay
    When the Flash Princess came invading,
[15:08] Flay
    he let all of the demons
    get away, of all things.
[15:12] Flay
    Sacrificing himself for his own ideals...
[15:16] Flay
    I'm sure he'd long planned
    on reincarnating as a human.
[15:20] Liza
    You mean he'd become human,
[15:23] Liza
    and then try and change the
    humans' attitudes from within?
[15:27] Flay
    Indeed.
[15:28] Liza
    I had no idea the Demon King had
    given it that much thought...
[15:32] Flay
    Well, I never did like that
    wishful thinking of his.
[15:37] Flay
    But to think he'd be born from the womb of
    the very same Flash Princess who killed him...
[15:43] Flay
    It's beyond my wildest imagination.
[15:45] Flay
    Lord Haruto told me that he lost all
    his memories prior to reincarnation.
[15:50] Flay
    Maybe he did it to discard the naïveté
    that kept him from becoming ruthless.
[15:56] Flay
    The Demon King often abbreviated
    the name of our species.
[15:59] Flay
    So imagine my surprise when
    Lord Haruto gave me that name.
[16:05] Flay
    Back then, I almost used his name
    back from the Demon King days.
[16:10] Liza
    That reminds me, I don't know
    what the Demon King's name is.
[16:14] Flay
    Make sure you don't carelessly

    Irisphilia.
[16:23] Haruto
    Irisphilia, huh?
[16:25] Haruto
    That's long.
[16:26] Haruto
    Can I just call you Iris?
[16:32] Iris
    I'm sorry.
[16:33] Iris
    I also used to shorten names
    a lot back in the day.
[16:37] Iris
    You just happened to remind me of back then.
[16:41] Haruto
    Well, now that we're friends,
    I'll be taking my leave.
[16:45] Iris
    Oh, hold on, Haruto.
[16:47] Iris
    Incidentally, have you finished
    signing up for classes?
[16:51] Haruto
    No, not yet.
[16:53] Iris
    Why don't we do it together, right now?!
[16:55] Haruto
    Eh?
[16:56] Iris
    Working together will be
    a lot more efficient!
[16:59] Haruto
    O-Okay.
[17:01] Haruto
    Okay, how about my room, then?
[17:04] Iris
    Yes! That sounds great!
[17:06] Haruto
    She sure is assertive...
[17:17] Haruto
    Huh?
[17:18] Haruto
    I invited Iris to my room without thinking...
[17:21] Haruto
    But wait, she's a girl!
[17:24] Haruto
    That said, it'd be weird
    to turn her away now.

[17:27] Haruto
    Let's just get it over with,
    so she leaves quickly.

[17:32] Charlotte
    Haruto, welcome ba—
[17:37] Charlotte
    Is that person your...

[17:40] Haruto
    My friend!
[17:41] Charlotte
    Oh, thank goodness.
SIGN    Phew
[17:43] Charlotte
    That flash of insight was
    because you made a friend.
[17:46] Haruto
    Flash of insight?
[17:48] Charlotte
    And I'd expect no less from you!
[17:50] Charlotte
    You've made such a wonderful
    friend so quickly!
[17:53] Charlotte
    Indeed, I'm sure it'd be simple for you
    to find yourself five to ten lovers.
[17:58] Charlotte
    Which means that I'll need
    to fully prepare myself.
[18:02] Haruto
    For what?!
[18:02] Charlotte
    After all, I plan on becoming
    your second wife, give or take!
[18:07] Haruto
    How did that *happen?!
[18:08] Charlotte
    Hug!
[18:09] Haruto
    Hey, cut that out! Not in front of others!
[18:13] Haruto
    Oh, I know, this must be that thing kids do.
[18:17] Charlotte
    When I grow up, I'm going to marry you!
[18:21] Haruto
    Before long...
[18:22] Charlotte
    What?
[18:23] Charlotte
    You're seriously creepy.
[18:25] Haruto
    If she ends up like that, I'll cry!
[18:28] Haruto
    You can do whatever you want, Char.
[18:30] Charlotte
    Thank you!
[18:32] Iris
    Should I consider that a normal
    conversation between siblings?
[18:36] Haruto
    Probably.
[18:38] Haruto
    You've met before, right?
[18:40] Haruto
    This is Iris, my friend as of today.
[18:42] Haruto
    And this is my sister, Char.
SIGN    Bow
[18:45] Charlotte
    It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
SIGN    Bow
[18:48] Iris
    Yes, same here.
[18:50] Haruto
    Char.
[18:51] Haruto
    Sorry, but we've got something to do.
[18:54] Charlotte
    I understand!
[19:06] Iris
    Haruto.
[19:07] Iris
    Is there some sort of
    magical meaning to that?
[19:11] Haruto
    I'm just choosing my classes.
[19:14] Charlotte
    If you'll allow me to explain...
[19:16] Charlotte
    No matter what he picks,
    it'll be easy-peasy for Haruto!
[19:23] Iris
    I don't understand at all.
[19:24] Haruto
    Yeah, I'll bet.
SIGN    Man, what a pain
[19:30] Haruto
    Char.
[19:31] Haruto
    Can you pick out some classes
    that would suit me?
[19:35] Charlotte
    I would be absolutely honored!
[19:37] Charlotte
    I hereby vow to live up
    to your expectations!
SIGN    Bam
[19:43] Charlotte
    I've finished!
[19:45] Haruto
    Good work.
[19:46] Haruto
    You really helped me out.
[19:47] Iris
    You're not going to look
    over what she wrote?
[19:50] Haruto
    Char picked them out,
    so there should be no problem.
[19:54] Charlotte
    I never knew that you placed
    so much trust in me!
[19:58] Charlotte
    Why, you're making me blush!
SIGN    Blush
[20:00] Iris
    Didn't you enter this academy because
    you had something to accomplish?
[20:06] Charlotte
    Haruto's goal lies outside of academics.
[20:11] Iris
    What goal do you speak of?
[20:16] Charlotte
    I can't divulge that, not even to a friend.
[20:20] Charlotte
    Iris.
[20:22] Charlotte
    The very assumption that Haruto is here
    to learn from others is mistaken!
[20:27] Charlotte
    Haruto has already far
    transcended such conventions!
SIGN    Ka-blaaaaam
[20:32] Iris
    T-Transcended?!
[20:35] Iris
    H-Haruto...
[20:38] Iris
    I never knew you were so incredible!
[20:40] Haruto
    Ah, not good.
[20:42] Haruto
    She's totally bought it.
[20:44] Haruto
    I can't let Char wreak any more havoc.
[20:47] Haruto
    Oh, yeah, why are you here?
[20:50] Charlotte
    It seems I've already
    accomplished my goal here.
[20:54] Charlotte
    I'll be going back now.
[20:56] Haruto
    Huh? Ah, okay, then.
[20:58] Charlotte
    I bid you farewell, Iris.
[21:01] Iris
    Ah, yes.
[21:02] Iris
    Until next time, Char.
[21:03] Haruto
    I can't let her see the Anyplace Door.
[21:06] Iris
    Huh?
[21:07] Iris
    By the way, how did you make
    your way on campus...
SIGN    Slither, slither...
[21:10] Haruto
    Excuse me for a moment!
[21:16] Iris
    I just heard a door open from somewhere
    other than the entrance...
[21:21] Haruto
    Don't sweat the details!
[21:26] Haruto
    Okay, that does it.
[21:29] Haruto
    Well...
[21:30] Haruto
    let's work hard, Iris.
[21:32] Haruto
    Until the day I get expelled!
[21:34] Iris
    Ah, yeah.

[00:02] Charlotte
    Good morning, Haruto...
[00:10] Haruto
    Morning.
[00:16] Haruto
    My classes are finally about to begin.
[00:19] Charlotte
    Haruto.
[00:21] Charlotte
    Let me explain your schedule for today.
[00:23] Haruto
    Ah, sure.
[00:27] Charlotte
    I believe that with exemptions
    based on the entrance exam,
[00:30] Charlotte
    you'll be placed into the
    very middle class, C Class.
[00:34] Haruto
    I see.
[00:35] Charlotte
    That said, classes are shuffled
    based on regular exam performance,
[00:39] Charlotte
    so I'm sure that you'll be able
    to move up to A Class in no time!
[00:43] Haruto
    Man, I hope not.
[00:45] Haruto
    Wait, other than the core curriculum,
[00:49] Haruto
    these are all really hard
    upper-grade classes!
[00:52] Charlotte
    I picked them because I
    knew you'd find them easy.
[00:55] Haruto
    Nope, not happening!
[00:58] Haruto
    Or maybe that could work to my advantage.
[01:01] Haruto
    If I choose all of these advanced classes,
SIGN    Hm? How cocky for
    a first-year...
SIGN    Let's see how you do
[01:04] Haruto
    the teachers will end up having
    extremely high expectations of me.

SIGN    So much for that
SIGN    He's nothing special!
[01:07] Haruto
    Giving me the perfect
    chance to let them down!

SIGN    How disappointing
[01:10] Haruto
    Okay! Sounds good!
[01:12] Charlotte
    Haruto.
[01:14] Haruto
    Hmm?
[01:24] Charlotte
    Have a good day at school!
[01:26] Haruto
    Yeah. I'll try.

[03:15] Haruto
    Good morning.
[03:17] Iris
    And who's this?
[03:18] Haruto
    My attendant, Liza.
[03:23] Iris
    I wouldn't put it past Haruto's attendant...
[03:27] Iris
    I'm Iris, Haruto's friend.
[03:29] Iris
    It's a pleasure.
[03:31] Liza
    Nice to meet you.
[03:36] Iris
    What?
[03:37] Iris
    You're in C Class, with your skills?
[03:40] Iris
    I'm in A Class.
[03:42] Iris
    I was told that written exam
    grades are given priority,
[03:45] Iris
    so I'm sure you'll join
    me in A Class very soon.
[03:49] Haruto
    Ah, yeah.
[03:52] Liza
    Excuse me, Lord Haruto.
[03:53] Liza
    Is she really human?
[03:57] Liza
    Even observing her up close,
[03:59] Liza
    I can't tell whether she's
    a demon or a human.
[04:03] Haruto
    From what I can tell, she's not a demon.
[04:06] Haruto
    She doesn't seem evil, so we
    shouldn't worry about it.
[04:10] Liza
    Okay.
[04:22] Haruto
    Why's everyone staring at me?
[04:25] Haruto
    Oh, I forgot I was the talk of
    the school, thanks to Schneidel.

[04:30] C Class Teacher
    Let's begin our class.
[04:32] C Class Teacher
    This is C Class, the middle
    class of the five we offer,
[04:36] C Class Teacher
    with grades in the median range overall.
[04:39] C Class Teacher
    In other words, you have a chance
    of climbing your way up,
[04:42] C Class Teacher
    as well as dropping down instead.
[04:44] C Class Teacher
    Which is why...
[04:46] C Class Teacher
    you will be taking another test today.
[04:49] Haruto
    It's here already!
[04:51] Haruto
    My big chance!
[04:52] Haruto
    I'll use this exam to show
    them how incompetent I am

[04:55] Haruto
    and say goodbye to this
    classroom on day one!

[04:58] C Class Teacher
    Now then, begin.
[05:02] Haruto
    Huh?
[05:03] Haruto
    This is a walk in the park!
[05:06] Haruto
    I think when Char was young and
    began her gifted education,

[05:09] Haruto
    she covered this material
    in the first six months.

[05:12] Haruto
    Putting questions on here that
    even infants can solve...

[05:15] Haruto
    What is this teacher up to?
[05:21] Haruto
    Oh, I see what he's doing!
[05:23] Haruto
    After threatening everyone like that,
[05:25] Haruto
    he's trying to reassure everyone with basic
    problems that are actually really easy.

[05:29] Haruto
    Which makes it difficult
    to know how to respond.

[05:33] Haruto
    If I get so many simple questions wrong,
[05:36] Haruto
    they might suspect I'm
    doing it intentionally.

[05:40] Haruto
    In that case,
[05:41] Haruto
    I'll find the absolute minimum borderline,
[05:43] Haruto
    and aim to get a 60 with careless mistakes!
SIGN    Testing Over
[05:50] C Class Teacher
    It looks like the results are quite poor.
[05:54] C Class Teacher
    The average ended up barely scratching a 20.
[05:57] Haruto
    Hmm?
[05:58] C Class Teacher
    Well, I'm not surprised.
[06:01] C Class Teacher
    Even B Class students would average
    around a 50 on this material.
[06:05] Boy Student
    Ah, I knew it!
[06:07] Haruto
    Huh? What the heck?
[06:09] C Class Teacher
    Despite this, and even with
    plenty of careless mistakes,
[06:12] C Class Teacher
    one of you managed to get around a 60.
[06:15] C Class Teacher
    Haruto Zenfis! Bravo!
[06:22] Haruto
    What's going on?!
[06:24] Haruto
    Was I the only one who got easy problems?!
[06:26] Haruto
    No, that's not it.
[06:28] Haruto
    It's not that they're all
    at a low academic level.

[06:30] Haruto
    That said, it's not like I'm
    particularly advanced, either.

[06:33] Charlotte
    Sparkle!
[06:35] Haruto
    My little sister is just too outstanding!
[06:38] C Class Teacher
    Haruto Zenfis!
[06:40] C Class Teacher
    I'll put in a good word, so you move
    up to A Class before the next lesson!
[06:45] Haruto
    Gloom...
[06:56] Haruto
    Eh?
[07:02] Laius
    Hey, lady.
[07:03] Laius
    Stop clinging to Haruto.
[07:05] Iris
    You're the one who's too close to Haruto.
[07:07] Laius
    What was that?!
[07:08] Iris
    Huh?!
[07:10] Haruto
    Sheesh, why's this happening to me?
[07:16] Belkam
    It's time.
[07:17] Belkam
    I assume you're all here.
[07:19] Belkam
    I am your professor, Oratoria Belkam.
[07:22] Belkam
    I'm an expert in elemental theory.
[07:25] Haruto
    Ugh, she seems like a hardass.
[07:30] Belkam
    You three first-years!
[07:32] Belkam
    You're only in your first year,
    yet you signed up for my advanced class.
[07:36] Belkam
    You've got some nerve, sitting in the
    very front and chatting right away.
[07:41] Belkam
    I'll kick all of you out the moment that
    you can't answer one of my questions.
[07:46] Belkam
    Prepare yourselves.
[07:48] Belkam
    Not to mention,
    Haruto Zenfis and Irisphilia...
[07:51] Belkam
    I hear you two joined that
    four-eyed runt's research lab.
[07:55] Haruto
    Ah, yes.
[07:57] Haruto
    What of it?
[07:59] Belkam
    I'll make sure to be extra
    diligent in teaching you two!
[08:03] Haruto
    What?!
[08:03] Haruto
    Did we catch a stray bullet?!
[08:07] Belkam
    Today's lesson is on main elements,
    sub-elements, and quantification.
[08:13] Belkam
    Irisphilia.
[08:14] Belkam
    Come here and put your hands on this.
[08:21] Belkam
    Oh?
[08:22] Belkam
    You possess every element?
[08:24] Belkam
    What a magnificent sight.
[08:26] Belkam
    It truly is a shame that
    your mana level is at a five!
[08:30] Belkam
    Join my research lab!
[08:32] Belkam
    I'll thoroughly whip you into shape!
[08:35] Iris
    No, I'm afraid I must decline.
[08:37] Belkam
    Tsk. How disappointing.
[08:42] Belkam
    The element that one is most proficient
    at is known as their main element.
[08:46] Belkam
    For Irisphilia, that would be chaos.
[08:49] Belkam
    Displayed below are all of her sub-elements.
[08:53] Belkam
    And well, that's all that
    a crystal can tell us.
[08:57] Belkam
    If we take the main element to be 100%,
[08:59] Belkam
    how well can someone
    control the sub-elements?
[09:02] Belkam
    There's research being done to quantify
    it, but it's proven difficult.
[09:07] Haruto
    Is it really that difficult?

[09:15] Haruto
    Looks like the one I made
    displays it just fine.

[09:19] Belkam
    So why is quantification so difficult?
[09:23] Belkam
    It's because circumstances
    can alter the values.
[09:27] Belkam
    Imagine that fire is your sub-element,
    and you use a muscle-enhancing spell.
[09:31] Belkam
    And you find that it has an increased
    rate compared to other fire spells.
[09:35] Belkam
    Why is that the case?
[09:36] Belkam
    Answer me, Laius Olteas.
[09:41] Laius
    Does it have to do with the
    degree of proficiency?
[09:44] Laius
    By using muscle enhancement over
    and over, you end up mastering it?
[09:47] Belkam
    Not a terrible way to approach the problem.
[09:49] Belkam
    However, research contradicts
    that conjecture of yours.
[09:53] Haruto
    Which means it's due to hidden properties.
[09:59] Haruto
    Whoa!

SIGN     - Enhance
[10:22] Haruto
    I think there are hidden properties
    that are subordinate to elements.
[10:26] Haruto
    For example, if the fire element had
    a hidden property of "Enhance,"
[10:30] Haruto
    it would increase the effects
    of self-enhancement spells.
[10:34] Belkam
    How do you know that?!
[10:36] Belkam
    That's cutting-edge research
    from Weiße Eule!

[10:42] Belkam

[10:43] Belkam
    who irregularly sends us research
    papers, as of a few years ago.
[10:48] Belkam
    These research papers,
    several generations ahead of our time,
[10:52] Belkam
    suggested the possibility
    of unseen properties.
[10:55] Belkam
    Due to the fact that we've

[12:20] Polkos
    Right away!
[12:21] Tear
    You two just relax and wait right there!
[12:28] Haruto Copy
    Sheesh, why me?
[12:31] Haruto Copy
    It was supposed to be
    my original self today!

[12:36] (Flashback) Haruto
    A lot happened, so I'm tired.
[12:38] (Flashback) Haruto
    I'm begging you.
[12:40] Haruto Copy
    I mean, I handed in my application form.
[12:43] Haruto Copy
    I can leave, right?
[12:46] Tear
    Oh?
[12:47] Tear
    Looks like something happened to Polkos.
[12:49] Tear
    Let's all go check it out!
[12:55] Haruto Copy
    A-A murder scene?!
[12:58] Haruto Copy
    Wait, no, it's Schneidel!
[13:00] Tear
    Ah, I forgot about him.
[13:02] Tear
    That's right, he was here.
[13:05] Haruto Copy
    *She *did this?!
[13:06] Tear
    He suddenly showed up at my door yesterday.
[13:09] Tear
    He'd been afflicted with a strange spell,
[13:11] Tear
    so he asked me to look into it.
[13:13] Tear
    It was magic that he had never come across,
[13:16] Tear
    so he suspected it might be ancient magic.
[13:18] Tear
    And so, after all manners of investigation,
[13:20] Tear
    by dawn, a state of complete
    exhaustion was reached.
[13:22] Tear
    By him, of course.
[13:24] Haruto Copy
    What did she do to reduce him to this?!
[13:27] Tear
    But this is our chance.
[13:29] Tear
    Since he's here, let's use him to
    research ancient magic together!
[13:34] Haruto Copy
    That's awful!
[13:35] Tear
    Iris.
[13:36] Tear
    Why don't you try touching
    his right shoulder?
[13:39] Iris
    Yes...
[13:45] Iris
    Something solid is attached to him?
[13:48] Iris
    Clear, colorless cylinders?
[13:50] Tear
    That's right.
[13:51] Tear
    And when magic is used to
    heal the wound, for example,
[13:54] Tear
    the two cylinders attract each other,
[13:57] Tear
    squeezing his shoulder tightly like so.
[14:00] Tear
    But this is the really interesting part.
[14:03] Tear
    When you do this...
[14:06] Tear
    Look! It passes right through.
[14:08] Tear
    It looks like anything inanimate
    goes right through it.
[14:12] Tear
    What do you think this is?
[14:15] Iris
    Wait, is it non-elemental magic?
[14:18] Tear
    Impressive!
[14:19] Tear
    No wonder you got top marks
    on the written exam!
[14:22] Tear
    In other words, this is a barrier
    made using non-elemental magic.
[14:25] Haruto Copy
    Huh?
[14:27] Haruto Copy
    This teacher figured out the
    truth behind the barrier?

[14:31] Haruto Copy
    But that doesn't mean that she's seen
    through my original self's identity.

[14:34] Tear
    Okay, Haruto.
[14:36] Tear
    Can you tell me the biggest difference
    between modern and ancient magic?
[14:41] Haruto Copy
    Uh...
[14:43] Haruto Copy
    The fact that it's really old magic?
[14:46] Sign
    Siiiiigh
[14:47] Haruto Copy
    Tsk!
SIGN    That annoyed me,
    but hold it in...
[14:49] Tear
    Take it away, Iris.
SIGN    Void
[14:50] Iris
    Ancient magic is non-elemental magic,
    not bound to any one element.
[14:55] Iris
    As an ancient lost magic,
    it contains many mysteries.
[14:59] Tear
    Indeed.
[15:00] Tear
    And records say that it can be maintained
    without supplying any mana.
[15:06] Tear
    If this were modern magic, it wouldn't last
    half a day before you'd run out of mana.
[15:10] Tear
    But it's been one and a half days
    since it was placed on him.
[15:14] Iris
    That can't be!
[15:15] Iris
    Are you saying that there's someone in
    modern times who can use ancient magic?!
[15:19] Tear
    Well, it's little more than a theory.
[15:22] Tear
    As you know, it's magic from the distant past,
    wielded by those from the mythical era.
[15:27] Tear
    You'd probably have to be above
    level 80, at least, to use it.
[15:32] Tear
    Which begs the question,
    who could have possibly cast this spell?
[15:38] Iris
    It's not me.
[15:39] Iris
    I can't use such advanced magic.
[15:44] Tear
    Hmm...
[15:45] Tear
    It doesn't seem like you're
    feigning ignorance.
[15:48] Tear
    Though he mentioned that you
    happened to be there at the time.
[15:53] Iris
    I don't know who did it, either.
[15:56] Tear
    I see.
[15:57] Tear
    I guess we'll need to ask the culprit.
[16:03] Tear
    Last night, he refused
    to tell me who did it.
[16:06] Tear
    It's about time he finally snapped!
[16:11] Schneidel
    What are you doing here?!
[16:14] Haruto Copy
    Oh, did you finally notice?
[16:16] Schneidel
    How dare you!
[16:18] Schneidel
    You know that I'm the Hafen family heir...
[16:20] Tear
    We're all fully aware of that!
[16:23] Tear
    Listen to me.
[16:24] Tear
    Let me get right to the point.
[16:26] Tear
    I can't remove this hex of yours.
[16:29] Tear
    Which means the only one who
    can is the one who cast it.
[16:32] Tear
    How about you spill the beans already?
[16:37] Schneidel
    I don't know who it was.
[16:39] Schneidel
    It was a man with a strange voice,
    clad entirely in black.
[16:43] Tear
    So you found it humiliating to be
    done in by a mysterious villain?
[16:48] Tear
    No...
[16:49] Tear
    Perhaps your life would be in
    danger if you revealed that fact.
[16:54] Tear
    I see.
[16:55] Tear
    Well, from the scant information we have,
[16:58] Tear
    there's one person I can
    think of who fits the bill.
[17:01] Iris
    What?
[17:02] Tear
    Haruto.
[17:04] Tear
    I hear that in the border province,
[17:06] Tear
    there's a hero of justice who started
    showing up several years ago.
[17:10] Tear
    His description matches the
    one Schneidel just gave.
[17:14] Tear
    Do you know who he is?
[17:15] Haruto Copy
    No, I don't.
[17:18] Tear
    That said, he only used to operate
    within the border province,
[17:22] Tear
    and now he's appeared in the royal
    capital, at the same time Haruto did.
[17:26] Haruto Copy
    He must have... had some
    sort of business here.
[17:30] Tear
    Interesting.
[17:32] Tear
    Should I start by asking why you were
    recommended by the king himself?
[17:39] Haruto Copy
    You can ask me that, but I don't the reason.
[17:44] Tear
    What is it, exactly, that you're hiding?!
[17:47] Tear
    Could it be that you have knowledge
    of ancient magic that I don't?!
[17:52] Tear
    Why don't you just tell
    us everything right now?!
[17:56] Tear
    Actually, are you the
    one dressed in all black?
SIGN    Menacing
[17:59] Tear
    If so, I'd love to hear about it!
[18:02] Tear
    Why don't we spend some time,
[18:04] Tear
    and you can tell me all about it!
[18:06] Haruto Copy
    Why am I *always the one who
    has to deal with this?!
[18:09] Haruto Copy
    I've had enough!
[18:10] Haruto Copy
    Save me, original self!
[18:13] Haruto
    I see you're talking about me.
[18:16] Haruto
    Shiva, the embodiment of
    justice, has arrived!
[18:20] Haruto Copy
    The fact that he showed up at this moment...
[18:24] Haruto Copy
    You were watching us all along, you jerk!
[18:27] Haruto
    You, the small one in glasses.
[18:29] Haruto
    I am completely unaffiliated with that boy.
[18:31] Haruto
    I came here to enact justice upon the
    evildoers who bring chaos to the capital.
[18:35] Tear
    Oh!
[18:36] Tear
    So you're the famous Shiva!
[18:38] Tear
    Skinny, but with some good
    muscle on that frame.
[18:41] Tear
    That smooth helm of yours
    is fashionable, too!
[18:43] Haruto Copy
    Were you even listening?
[18:45] Tear
    Evildoers, you say...
[18:47] Tear
    So you were aware that this rich heir
    is a member of a suspicious group?
[18:53] Haruto
    Huh?
SIGN    Villain
[18:54] Haruto
    The evil syndicate really existed?
[18:58] Haruto
    Okay, let's go along with that.
[19:00] Haruto
    That's right.
[19:01] Haruto
    I know all about that.
[19:03] Haruto
    But leaving that aside, Schneidel.
[19:06] Haruto
    If you heed my warning
    and call off the duel,
[19:10] Haruto
    I'll free you of your shackles
    by tomorrow morning.
[19:12] Schneidel
    Y-You bastard...
[19:15] Haruto
    Any objections?
[19:21] Schneidel
    Very well.
[19:23] Haruto
    With that, I shall take my leave...
[19:26] Haruto
    At least, I'd like to, but...
[19:29] Haruto
    What is the meaning of this?
[19:32] Tear
    You let your guard down.

[20:10] Tear

[20:13] Haruto
    It's payback for binding me just now.

[21:01] Tear
    So can you please undo this right away?

    Oh, yeah, I'll stop!

    Here's to our new research students.

    Cheers!
[00:07] Group
    Cheers!
[00:10] Haruto Copy
    Hey there. It's me, Haruto C.
[00:13] Haruto Copy
    A lot happened last time,
[00:15] Haruto Copy
    but now we're having a welcome
    party for the newcomers.

[00:18] Tear
    Welcome to my research lab!
[00:20] Tear
    Go on, drink up!
[00:22] Haruto Copy
    And as for me...
[00:26] Haruto Copy
    I can feel a passionate gaze
    coming from next to me.

[00:29] Haruto Copy
    Um, is something wrong?
[00:31] Polkos
    A-Ah, excuse me.
[00:33] Polkos
    Oh, I was just thinking that
    you and I might be alike.
[00:37] Haruto Copy
    Huh? In what way?
[00:39] Polkos
    Like how we always get dragged into things.
[00:42] Haruto Copy
    A-Ah...
[00:44] Haruto Copy
    On that note, I always see
    you with Professor Tear.
[00:49] Polkos
    You could say that we're stuck together.
[00:52] Polkos
    Truth is, I used to be a teacher for
    the Luseiannel household.
[00:57] Haruto Copy
    What?
[00:58] Haruto Copy
    You were Professor Tear's teacher?
[01:00] Polkos
    Yes.
[01:01] Polkos
    She's been like this from a young age,
[01:04] Polkos
    which, honestly, gave me trouble to no end.
[01:07] Polkos
    She was a bright child, who grasped
    ideas faster than I could teach her,
[01:10] Polkos
    and then came to me with hypotheses
    far exceeding even the material.
[01:15] Polkos
    Seeking out knowledge wherever
    her curiosity guided her,
[01:18] Polkos
    she managed to find success carrying
    out all sorts of experiments.
[01:21] Polkos
    After she'd done all she could at home,
[01:25] Polkos
    she enrolled in this academy, and I
    was assigned to keep an eye on her.
[01:30] Polkos
    Ultimately, she never did require
    my teachings to begin with.
[01:35] Polkos
    She is undoubtedly a genius.
[01:37] Polkos
    She has developed a number of new spells,
[01:40] Polkos
    and people said she was most deserving of
    the title of Sage, the highest in modern magic.
[01:45] Polkos
    So despite all of that...
[01:48] Polkos
    Why did she have to pursue
    ancient magic, of all things?!
[01:53] Polkos
    A lost branch of magic that
    might not even be useful!
[01:57] Haruto Copy
    W-Well, we couldn't possibly fathom
    the thought process of a genius.
[02:03] Polkos
    You're right.
[02:05] Polkos
    I'm nothing more than mediocre.
[02:07] Haruto Copy
    It backfired!
[02:10] Haruto Copy
    A-Awkward.
[02:13] Iris
    Hey, Haruto!
[02:18] Iris

    That should do it.
[04:51] Tear
    Whee!
[04:52] Tear
    Are you having fun, Haruto?
[04:57] Tear
    Haruto, do you know why she insists
    on studying ancient magic?
[05:03] Haruto Copy
    No.
[05:04] Tear
    I found out during her mana
    assessment for the entrance exam.
[05:07] Tear
    As it happens, she possesses every element!
[05:11] Tear
    Do you know how rare that is?
[05:13] Tear
    Yes, like a tried-and-true hero of legend,
    rising up from a commoner's life!
[05:19] Tear
    However, real life doesn't
    work out so nicely.
[05:22] Tear
    Unfortunately, her mana level is 5/35.
[05:27] Tear
    She may still be young,
    but that's way too low.
[05:30] Tear
    It may well be that her mana level
    won't increase any further.
[05:36] Tear
    But she's still in her teens.
[05:39] Tear
    I'm sure that's why she
    turned to ancient magic.
[05:41] Tear
    Ancient magic comes from an age brimming
    with ancestors who were level 100.
[05:46] Tear
    It may provide a clue
    to raising one's level.
[05:49] Tear
    I had yet to conduct any research
    toward that end, either.
[05:53] Tear
    I'm thrilled to have a
    new topic of research!
[05:57] Tear
    To pursue the slightest of possibilities...
[06:00] Tear
    What a beautiful thing that is.
[06:06] Tear
    This alcohol's got me saying
    things I normally wouldn't!
[06:10] Tear
    I should sleep, too.
[06:12] Haruto Copy
    Huh? Um...
[06:20] Haruto Copy
    They all fell asleep before I realized it.
[06:29] Schneidel
    By tomorrow, everyone in school
    will know I called off the duel...
[06:33] Schneidel
    After I went so far as to side
    with the Church of Lucifyra
[06:36] Schneidel
    to ensure that Father
    would be the next king!

[07:09] Assassin Unit A
    Yes.
[07:10] Assassin Unit A
    The four targets are the only
    ones inside the mansion.
[07:12] Assassin Unit A
    They're gathered in the south-central
    room on the second floor,
[07:15] Assassin Unit A
    and there are signs of a celebration.
[07:17] Assassin Unit A
    Three of them are heavily
    inebriated from drinking.
[07:20] Assassin Unit A
    Haruto Zenfis has also
    fallen asleep on the sofa.
[07:23] Assassin Unit Captain

[07:59] Assassin Unit Captain
    Check the surroundings!
[08:08] Assassin Unit A
    It's no use.
[08:09] Assassin Unit A
    It looks like it completely
    surrounds the building.
[08:16] Assassin Unit A
    Not even a scratch!
[08:17] Assassin Unit A
    Is this the work of magic?
[08:20] Assassin Unit A
    A door suddenly appeared!
[08:22] Assassin Unit Captain
    I heard this from Lord Schneidel.
[08:25] Assassin Unit Captain
    Close to Haruto Zenfis is someone called
    Shiva, who uses strange powers.
[08:30] Assassin Unit Captain
    Proceed with caution.
[08:39] Assassin Unit Captain
    Use your most powerful magic
    to destroy that door!
[08:47] Assassin Unit Captain
    What just happened?!
[08:49] Assassin Unit Captain
    Shiva... who in the world is he?!
[08:52] Assassin Unit C
    C-Captain!
[08:55] Assassin Unit Captain
    My word!
[09:04] Assassin Unit Captain
    Hone your senses!
[09:06] Assassin Unit Captain
    He must be somewhere nearby!
[09:15] Assassin Unit Captain
    There!
[09:18] Assassin Unit Captain
    Capture him!
[09:23] Assassin Unit Captain
    There's two of him?!
[09:30] Assassin Unit Captain
    I didn't hear anything
    about multiple Shivas!

[09:33] Assassin Unit Captain
    How strange!
[09:35] Assassin Unit Captain
    Something is strange here!
[09:38] Assassin Unit E
    Captain!
[09:41] Assassin Unit Captain
    N-No way!
[09:44] Assassin Unit Captain
    I-It can't be!
[09:46] Assassin Unit Captain
    D-Damn it!
[09:49] Haruto
    You've finally realized it?
[09:55] Assassin Unit Captain
    S-So you're Shiva!
[10:01] Assassin Unit Captain
    What?! I can't move!
[10:03] Haruto
    I've sealed the movement
    of all twenty of you.
[10:06] Assassin Unit Captain
    Wh-What'd you say?!
[10:08] Haruto
    But seriously, your boss...
[10:11] Haruto
    Sending assassins for this?
[10:13] Haruto
    You've gotta be kidding.
[10:15] Haruto
    Anyway, Captain.
[10:18] Haruto
    Time to make you spill the
    beans on everything you know.
SIGN    Am I Actually the Strongest?
[10:37] Haruto
    They were under your orders, were they not?
[10:40] Schneidel
    N-No!
[10:42] Schneidel
    It wasn't me!
[10:44] Schneidel
    I've never seen any of these people!
[10:45] Haruto
    Never seen them, huh?
[10:49] Schneidel
    Eliminate Haruto Zenfis and the other three!
[10:52] Schneidel
    Wh-What in the world is this spell?!
[10:54] Schneidel
    A projection of the past?!
[10:55] Schneidel
    That's impossible!
[10:56] Haruto
    Well, leaving that aside.
[10:59] Haruto
    You know...
[11:00] Haruto
    Sending all these people as assassins
    because of a grudge is complete overkill.
[11:04] Haruto
    I mean, it looks like the Vise Block
    didn't teach you anything.
[11:08] Haruto
    Looks like you need a real punishment.
[11:13] Schneidel
    A-Are you going to kill me?
[11:19] Schneidel
    Like hell I'm going to let you kill me!
[11:22] Schneidel
    I am Schneidel Hafen!
[11:25] Schneidel
    The man slated to be the
    king after the next king!
[11:37] Haruto
    Huh? Schneidel?
[11:45] Haruto
    No way!
[11:46] Haruto
    What is this, an anime plot twist?!
[12:03] Haruto
    That mysterious syringe
    turned him into a monster.

[12:12] Haruto
    For now, I've gotten him
    outside the building.

[12:15] Haruto
    The question is, what do I do now?
[12:17] Haruto
    I really wish I could just
    pretend I didn't see this!

[12:22] Charlotte
    Haruto!
[12:24] Haruto
    Char.
[12:25] Haruto
    Children should be asleep at this hour.
[12:27] Charlotte
    You're right.
[12:27] Charlotte
    I couldn't sleep because I thought
    you might be up to something!

[12:32] Haruto
    Well, I am fighting a mysterious
    monster right now.
[12:37] Charlotte
    What kind of monster would that be?!
[12:39] Haruto
    Ah...
[12:40] Haruto
    Ah, r-right!
[12:43] Haruto
    A certain organization experimented
    on a human and turned him into this!
[12:49] Charlotte
    H-How cruel...
[12:51] Charlotte
    Haruto, isn't there any
    way you can save him?

[12:54] Haruto
    Eh?
[12:55] Haruto
    Ah... let me think.
[12:58] Haruto
    I wonder if there's a way...
[13:03] Haruto
    Fine, then.
[13:04] Haruto
    Guess I'll have to do it for Char.
[13:08] Haruto
    I've got this!
[13:09] Charlotte
    I know you do, Haruto!
[13:26] Haruto
    Wow, he's well above even Gigan's strength.
[13:35] Haruto
    How do you like this?!
[13:39] Haruto
    This is getting me nowhere!
[13:42] Haruto
    I guess I should stop his arms...
[13:58] Haruto
    Okay, what to do now...
[14:10] Charlotte
    He tore off his own arms!
[14:17] Haruto
    Ah...
[14:18] Haruto
    The type that can regenerate, huh?
[14:25] Haruto
    How am I supposed to deal with this?!
[14:27] Charlotte
    Haruto!
[14:28] Charlotte
    There's something weird about the monster!
[14:31] Haruto
    Huh? He's been weird this
    whole time, actually.
[14:34] Charlotte
    It looks like he's shrunken a bit.
[14:37] Charlotte
    His skin's become slightly paler, too.
[14:40] Haruto
    It's true.
[14:41] Haruto
    So if we whittle away the
    parts that became huge,
[14:44] Haruto
    he'll return to his normal size?
[14:47] Haruto
    Great work, Char.
[14:49] Haruto
    I think this will work out.
[14:50] Charlotte
    I'm honored by your words!
[14:52] Haruto
    In that case, time to go all-out!
[14:56] Haruto
    Thousand blades, forged in
    the flames of purgatory!
[15:05] Charlotte
    Th-This is a new special attack!
[15:08] Haruto
    Become as fangs soaring through the sky,
[15:11] Haruto
    and rend my foes!
[15:14] Haruto
    Japanese Blades, Gather!
[15:22] Haruto
    Schneidel! Return to your old self!
[15:24] Charlotte
    Go!
[15:46] Haruto
    He's back to normal.
[15:49] Haruto
    Char.
[15:51] Haruto
    He was saved because of you.
[15:53] Haruto
    Thank you.
[15:54] Charlotte
    You're welcome!
[15:55] Charlotte
    I couldn't see some of it
    because of a mysterious light,

[15:58] Charlotte
    but you really were able to turn him back!
[16:00] Haruto
    I'm glad I used light to hide
    the bits I can't let Char see.

[16:04] Charlotte
    I'm sure I'll have very good dreams tonight!
[16:07] Haruto
    Glad to hear it!
[16:09] Charlotte
    Well, good night!
[16:11] Haruto
    Yeah, good night.
[16:14] Haruto
    Okay, time for the clean-up work.
[16:20] Haruto
    Schneidel.
[16:21] Haruto
    Getting back to our earlier conversation...
[16:24] Haruto
    Hmm?
[16:26] Haruto
    Hey, wait! Where are you going?!
[16:35] Haruto
    Looks like he's not in
    any state to be talking.

[16:38] Haruto
    Guess I should grab that
    syringe that he used.

[16:42] Haruto
    That tired me out.
[16:44] Haruto
    Let's fix up the mansion real quick
    so I can get back and sleep.

[17:04] Haruto Copy
    I happen to find these
    surroundings pretty fun.
[17:08] Haruto Copy
    How do you feel about it?
[17:11] Haruto
    I'm you, so I feel the same way.
[17:19] Haruto Copy
    I see.
[17:20] Haruto
    Wait, you went through all that,
    and you're having fun?
[17:24] Haruto Copy
    Well, it's... you know.
[17:27] Haruto
    I see, so you're a tsundere.
[17:29] Haruto Copy
    Y-You think it's way better than our
    previous life too, don't you?
[17:33] Haruto
    Well, I can't deny that.
[17:36] Haruto
    We used to be shut-ins,
    but now we've changed.
[17:39] Haruto
    At some point, we began to think that
    being with others might not be so bad.
[17:46] Haruto
    It's way past the dorm curfew.
[17:48] Haruto
    You should just stay here for the day.
[17:50] Haruto
    You're really doing great, you know.
[17:54] Haruto
    See you.
[18:08] Flay
    Have you seen any, well,
    ominous signs in the royal capital?
[18:11] Old Man
    Pardon?
[18:13] Flay
    Anything will do.
[18:14] Old Man
    Yes, yes.
[18:14] Flay
    Tell me what's going on in the capital!
[18:15] Old Man
    Yes, yes.
[18:16] Old Man
    What was that?!
[18:18] Hooligan A
    Need some assistance, lady?
[18:21] Hooligan A
    I'd be more than happy to talk with you.
[18:23] Hooligan B
    Why don't you come over this way?
[18:25] Flay
    Something you can't discuss here?
[18:27] Flay
    I see, very well.
[18:29] Hooligan A
    I'm glad you're so quick on the uptake.
SIGN    Ding...
[18:37] Liza
    Let me ask you again.
[18:39] Liza
    Can you tell us everything you know
    about happenings in the capital?
[18:43] Hooligan A
    Ah, yes.
[18:47] Charlotte
    Interesting.
[18:49] Charlotte
    The king and queen consort are on bad terms,
[18:52] Charlotte
    and there is unrest among
    the aristocracy, as well.
[18:56] Charlotte
    It seems my predictions
    proved correct after all.
[19:00] Charlotte
    Danger is near at hand in the royal capital!
[19:03] Liza
    I'm not sure about that...
[19:05] Johnny
    No, Miss Liza.
[19:07] Johnny
    The enemies have already mobilized.
[19:10] Johnny
    You saw my liege make short work
    of their vanguard, did you not?
[19:15] Johnny
    Lady Charlotte.
[19:17] Johnny
    Let us gaze once more upon that
    "footage," as you called it!
[19:19] Charlotte
    Right away!
[19:21] Charlotte
    Click!
[19:26] Charlotte
    Haruto is so cool!
[19:29] Flay
    Indeed.
[19:30] Flay
    Some of it I can't see, thanks to
    that strange light partway through.
[19:33] Flay
    But Lord Haruto's exploits are
    fantastic, even on repeated watches!
[19:36] Johnny
    To overwhelm the opponent,
    and yet show mercy!
SIGN    Lovely
[19:39] Johnny
    My liege is magnanimous, indeed!
[19:41] Liza
    I feel like we've gotten off-topic.
[19:44] Liza
    Well, whatever.
[19:46] Gigan
    Snore...
[19:48] Charlotte
    According to Haruto, this person is the
     student council's vice president.
[19:52] Charlotte
    This is purely conjecture on my part...
[19:55] Charlotte
    But perhaps he was acting on orders
    from the hidden student council!
[20:02] Charlotte
    The incident occurred after
    Haruto entered the academy.
[20:06] Charlotte
    Which means they became aware of his powers,
    and accordingly set their plan into motion.
[20:11] Charlotte
    It's the logical conclusion.
[20:12] Charlotte
    And there can be no doubt that
    they're linked to the evil syndicate
SIGN    Student Council
SIGN    Hidden Student Council
SIGN    Hidden
SIGN    Evil Syndicate
SIGN    Villain
[20:16] Charlotte
    that shakes the royal capital!
[20:19] Flay
    And what if they are?
[20:21] Flay
    No matter the foe, they stand
    no chance before Lord Haruto.
[20:24] Charlotte
    That may be, but since we don't
    know where they could be hiding,
[20:28] Charlotte
    it could end up being a burden.
[20:29] Flay
    That's true.
[20:30] Charlotte
    Which is why...
[20:32] Charlotte
    I believe that now is
    the time for us to act!
[20:36] Charlotte
    First, we infiltrate the academy.
[20:38] Charlotte
    Then we gather intelligence.
[20:40] Charlotte
    Finally, we expose those
    tied to the evil syndicate!
[20:44] Charlotte
    We have willingly gathered
    here for this very moment!
[20:48] Charlotte
    Let us all act as support
    for Haruto in his service!
[20:51] Charlotte
    Meeting of the Round Table, to arms!
[20:54] Flay
    Indeed. No objections here.
[20:56] Johnny
    Yes. All in service of my liege.
[20:59] Liza
    Lady Charlotte.
[21:00] Liza
    "Meeting of the Round Table"
    is what we call our meetings,
[21:03] Liza
    so we should come up with
    a name for our group.
[21:07] Charlotte
    Then we shall be known as Camelot.
[21:10] Group
    Yes.
[21:11] Charlotte
    Then, one more time...
[21:14] Charlotte
    Camelot, to arms!
[21:21] Haruto
    Infiltrating the academy?!
[21:23] Haruto
    Things are really moving along without me!
[21:26] Haruto
    Still, an evil syndicate, huh?
[21:29] Haruto
    From what Professor Tear
    said, it really does exist.

[21:33] Haruto
    And I can't shake the feeling
    that she's involved.

[21:37] Haruto
    I'll need to be diligent with monitoring,
[21:40] Haruto
    so that Char and the others
    can safely investigate.

[21:43] Haruto
    It's all so I can live a nice,
    quiet life in seclusion.

[21:50] Haruto
    So be it.
[21:51] Haruto
    Let's do it.
