**[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...

**[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**
*But... Haruto...*

**[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**
My leg is in one piece again!
**[01:49] Maid**
Incredible!
**[01:51] Soldier**
Look at this!

**[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?*
**[12:02] Haruto**
*So much for that!*

**[12:42] Haruto**
Mom and Charlotte are going on a trip?
**[12:45] Gold**
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.*
**[13:26] Haruto**
The surveillance barrier I put on Char!
**[13:29] Haruto**
Seriously? This can't be happening!
**[13:37] Captain**
Lady Natalia, please make your escape!
**[13:40] Captain**
Now!
**[13:44] Imperial Soldier D**
Capture them!
**[13:45] Imperial Soldier D**
Don't let them get away!
**[13:48] Natalia**
*What are imperial soldiers doing here?!*
**[13:59] Charlotte**
Mother!
**[14:03] Charlotte**
Mother, that way!
**[14:05] Natalia**
Charlotte?
**[14:06] Charlotte**
Hurry!
**[14:11] Charlotte**
Looks like you make a right here!
**[14:13] Natalia**
*Is someone giving directions to Charlotte?*
**[14:16] Natalia**
*But how in the world?*
**[14:24] Charlotte**
Jump down!
**[14:41] Natalia**
*I'm almost out of mana!*
**[14:43] Natalia**
*This is as far as we go!*
**[14:45] Charlotte**
We're almost there, Mother!
**[14:48] Charlotte**
There's supposed to be a place to hide there!
**[15:02] Natalia**
*It's overgrown with luminous moss.*
**[15:05] Natalia**
*There's nowhere to hide when
it's this bright in here.*
**[15:11] Natalia**
Charlotte.
**[15:12] Natalia**
I'm going to go find the person
who was giving you directions.
**[15:16] Natalia**
They're nearby, aren't they?
**[15:18] Natalia**
I don't know who it might be,
**[15:21] Natalia**
but I'm sure they must be a hero of justice.
**[15:23] Charlotte**
A hero of justice?
**[15:27] Natalia**
Someone who punishes evildoers.
**[15:29] Natalia**
I'm going to go and get them.
**[15:32] Natalia**
So you wait right here.
**[15:34] Natalia**
You mustn't make a sound.
**[15:37] Charlotte**
D-Don't go, Mother!
**[15:41] Natalia**
Everything's okay.
**[15:43] Natalia**
I'll make sure you're safe.
**[15:48] Charlotte**
No... Mother...
**[15:53] Charlotte**
Mother!
**[16:02] Natalia**
Illusionary magic?
**[16:03] Natalia**
Such advanced magic...
**[16:05] Imperial Soldier D**
Over here!
**[16:08] Imperial Soldier D**
Just the mother?
**[16:10] Imperial Soldier D**
The child must be nearby!
**[16:12] Imperial Soldier D**
Find her!
**[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**
I was too late.
**[16:45] Haruto**
Flying at top speed wasn't enough!
**[16:47] Haruto**
Ah, damn it!
**[16:49] Haruto**
Now I'm angry!
**[16:50] Haruto**
You've really pissed me off!
**[16:52] Imperial Soldier D**
Who are you?!
**[16:53] Haruto**
Shut up!
**[17:00] Charlotte**
*Mother! Mother!*
**[17:06] Haruto**
Charlotte.
**[17:08] Haruto**
Your mother is alive.
**[17:10] Haruto**
She's passed out, so watch over her for me.
**[17:14] Haruto**
If you wait here, help will come.
**[17:17] Haruto**
So endure it for a little longer.
**[17:20] Charlotte**
*This scary aura...*
**[17:22] Charlotte**
*This must be...*
**[17:24] Charlotte**
*But still, he saved us!*
**[17:29] Charlotte**
*So...*
**[17:31] Charlotte**
Haruto!
**[17:34] Haruto**
H-Hey.
**[17:40] Haruto**
*Shoot.*
**[17:41] Haruto**
*I turned around when she called my name.*
**[17:45] Charlotte**
H-Haruto...
**[17:48] Charlotte**
Are you a hero of justice?
**[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!
**[21:33] Flay**
Get your hands off Lord Haruto!

**[00:04] Charlotte**
Haruto!
**[00:05] Charlotte**
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**
Eh?
**[00:59] Charlotte**
There's some stuff about it
in the castle library.
**[01:02] Charlotte**
I'll take you there!

**[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.
**[04:33] Haruto**
Every frame gets colored,
then photographed...
**[04:37] Haruto**
That is, the pictures move!
**[04:40] Haruto**
And talk!
**[04:43] Haruto**
*O-Oh, no!*
**[04:45] Haruto**
*I got worked up and blabbed away!*
**[04:48] Haruto**
*She's gonna think I'm weird!*
**[04:52] Charlotte**
The pictures...
**[04:54] Charlotte**
What strange magic!
**[04:56] Charlotte**
I wanna see it!
**[05:00] Haruto**
I see, you want to watch it?
**[05:02] Haruto**
Me, too.
**[05:05] Charlotte**
Seeing you so excited makes me happy!
**[05:09] Haruto**
*Mom!*
**[05:11] Haruto**
*Thanks for raising Char
to be such a good girl!*
**[05:15] Haruto**
A-All right!
**[05:17] Haruto**
I'm gonna do my best to
let you watch some anime!
***SIGN*** Two Weeks Later
**[05:20] Haruto**
*And two weeks later...*
**[05:22] Haruto**
*I got my plan to work.*
**[05:27] Haruto**
*I'll gloss over the details,*
**[05:29] Haruto**
*but I managed to get a modern
Japanese internet connection.*
**[05:33] Haruto**
*My streaming subscription was still active.*
***SIGN*** Sports
***SIGN*** Children
**[05:37] Haruto**
*Anyway, let's make a child account for Char.*
**[05:40] Charlotte**
So this is the magic device
that lets you watch anime!
**[05:44] Haruto**
Pick one of these that you want to watch.
***SIGN*** Miniminmi

**[05:54] Haruto**
Oh, that's a good pick!
**[05:54] Sign**
Emotional
**[05:57] Haruto**
All right...
**[05:59] Magical Girl**
*Emotional Shower!*
**[06:07] Charlotte**
I-I don't believe it!
**[06:08] Charlotte**
The picture is moving!
**[06:11] Charlotte**
She's talking!
**[06:12] Charlotte**
This is anime!
**[06:14] Charlotte**
How wonderful!
**[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.
**[06:27] Charlotte**
P-Please teach me!
**[06:29] Haruto**
*Learning a language is no walk in the park!*
**[06:31] Haruto**
*Well, you're only five years old,
so I'm sure you'd pick it up quickly...*
**[06:36] Charlotte**
I think it's wonderful that
each symbol has a meaning.
***SIGN*** ARI ari
***SIGN*** A

Their structure is interesting, as well.
**[06:41] Haruto**
*She's mastered hiragana and
katakana in just two hours!*
**[06:46] Charlotte**
Um, let me put in
"justice meaning," and click!
***SIGN*** Justice meaning
**[06:51] Haruto**
*She even learned early grade school kanji?!*
**[06:55] Haruto**
*What the heck is up with the
children in this world?!*
***SIGN*** Two Weeks Later
**[07:01] Charlotte**
Haruto, let me continue watching *TamaZomb*!
**[07:05] Haruto**
You really like that anime, huh?
**[07:07] Charlotte**
Yes!
**[07:09] Charlotte**
The giant city of Saitama,
crawling with zombies!
**[07:12] Charlotte**
And the heroes of justice
who protect its citizens!
**[07:15] Charlotte**
So intense!
**[07:16] Haruto**
Do things like trains and cars
even mean anything to you?
**[07:19] Charlotte**
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.*
**[07:49] Charlotte**
Bam!
**[07:52] Charlotte**
Another great episode!
**[07:55] Charlotte**
Now for the next one...
**[07:56] Haruto**
Hold it.
**[07:57] Haruto**
I really can't let you binge
the whole season at once.
**[08:02] Haruto**
Only three hours of TV a day.
**[08:04] Charlotte**
Shock!
**[08:07] Charlotte**
Wh-Why?
**[08:08] Haruto**
It's not healthy for kids.
**[08:10] Charlotte**
I feel just fine!
**[08:12] Haruto**
No means no!
**[08:14] Haruto**
C'mon, it's time for dinner.
***SIGN*** Bummed out...
**[08:17] Haruto**
*This is for the best!*
**[08:23] Sign**
Drowsy
**[08:26] Natalia**
Are you sleepy, Charlotte?
**[08:29] Gold**
Haruto, Charlotte's spending a
lot of time with you lately.
**[08:33] Gold**
What are you two up to?
**[08:36] Charlotte**
Studying ancient magic!
**[08:41] Natalia**
Oh, Charlotte is helping you?
**[08:45] Natalia**
I think that's splendid!
**[08:47] Natalia**
But make sure you keep an eye on her
so she doesn't get too carried away!
**[08:52] Haruto**
Yeah, I will.
**[08:56] Haruto**
You're not watching anime,
even if you tag along.
**[09:00] Charlotte**
I-I know!
**[09:03] Haruto**
You should take a bath and go to bed early.
**[09:18] Haruto**
What are you doing, Charlotte?
**[09:20] Charlotte**
You told me to take a bath.
**[09:22] Haruto**
*I know I said that, but still...*
**[09:24] Charlotte**
Since I can't watch anime,
there's nothing to do but sleep.
**[09:28] Haruto**
*She's starting to sound like an otaku!*
**[09:31] Charlotte**
I told Mother that I'd be taking
my bath with you today.
**[09:36] Haruto**
Is that right?
**[09:38] Haruto**
*Nothing wrong with that
since we're both kids...*
**[09:42] Haruto**
*But that doesn't stop it from
feeling criminal to me!*
**[09:51] Haruto**
*Huh? What?*
**[09:53] Haruto**
*That stare is creeping me out...*
**[09:57] Charlotte**
Haruto, what's this?
**[10:00] Haruto**
Oh, this?
**[10:01] Charlotte**
I've seen this before!
**[10:03] Haruto**
Eh?
**[10:05] Charlotte**
It's an insignia!
**[10:06] Charlotte**
The mark of a hero of justice!
**[10:09] Haruto**
Yeah, you got it!
***SIGN*** Oh...
She's talking
about anime
**[10:11] Haruto**
Keep this a secret.
**[10:13] Haruto**
I need to hide my identity
as a hero of justice.
**[10:16] Charlotte**
Okay!
**[10:19] Charlotte**
Good night, Haruto.
**[10:21] Haruto**
Yeah, good night.
**[10:33] Haruto**
*What gives?!*
**[10:36] Haruto**
*What are you doing, Mom?!*
**[10:38] Natalia**
Who knew they had grown so close?
**[10:43] Natalia**
My dream is on the verge of coming true.
**[10:47] Natalia**
Keep it up, Charlotte!
**[10:49] Haruto**
*You couldn't have just
let me sleep in peace?*
***SIGN*** Am I Actually the Strongest?
**[11:02] Gold**
I'm off to put an end to those thieves.
**[11:05] Natalia**
Please be careful, dear.
**[11:12] Charlotte**
Father...
**[11:13] Charlotte**
I hope he comes back safely.
***SIGN*** Sad
**[11:21] Haruto**
Don't be so worried.
**[11:23] Haruto**
The thieves this time used to be commoners,
**[11:26] Haruto**
so Dad should be fine all by himself.
**[11:29] Charlotte**
Why did they become thieves?
**[11:33] Haruto**
Dad said that there are power struggles
breaking out in the kingdom.
**[11:38] Charlotte**
Isn't there any way to make it so that
everyone can live happily?
**[11:43] Haruto**
That's what everyone wants,
but it's not as easy as you'd think.
**[11:47] Charlotte**
Even for you?
**[11:49] Haruto**
Hmm?
**[11:50] Charlotte**
You couldn't do it by joining the fight?
**[11:53] Haruto**
Huh?
**[11:54] Charlotte**
I think that's what your
powers should be used for!
**[11:59] Haruto**
*Hey, what anime did she get that from?*
**[12:01] Charlotte**
Haruto, please!
**[12:11] Haruto**
All right already.
**[12:13] Charlotte**
So you'll transform and join the fight, then?
**[12:16] Haruto**
Transform into what?!
**[12:18] Haruto**
*Char must be thinking of an anime character!*
**[12:22] Haruto**
Okay!
**[12:25] Haruto**
Transform!
**[12:39] Charlotte**
Haruto transformed into grown-up size!
**[12:42] Charlotte**
So cool!
**[12:44] Haruto**
*This is so embarrassing!*
**[12:46] Charlotte**
Let me come with you!
**[12:48] Haruto**
I can't allow that.
**[12:49] Charlotte**
Eh?
**[12:49] Charlotte**
Shock!
***SIGN*** Sad
**[12:54] Haruto**
But here, I'll let you watch my exploits.
**[13:00] Charlotte**
Thank you, Haruto!
**[13:08] Haruto**
*This sure turned into a whole thing, huh?*
**[13:11] Haruto**
*Gotta bear it for Char.*
**[13:14] Haruto**
*Oh, found them.*
**[13:17] Haruto**
First, let's block off their escape.
**[13:23] Haruto**
*I feel like I could just
leave them like this...*
**[13:26] Haruto**
*But I bet Char wants to see me in action.*
**[13:29] Haruto**
*Let's get going.*
**[13:38] Thief A**
Wh-Who are you?!
**[13:40] Haruto**
The hero of justice has arrived!
**[13:44] Thief B**
What's with him?!
**[13:46] Thief A**
Don't mock us!
**[13:46] Thief A**
Get him!
**[13:47] Haruto**
*Okay, let's take care of them.*
**[13:55] Haruto**
*Whoops, got carried away
and knocked them all out!*
**[14:00] Haruto**
*This is nerve-racking with a kid watching!*
***SIGN*** At least
there's not
blood
everywhere...
**[14:03] Gold**
Who goes there?
**[14:05] Haruto**
*Oh, Dad's here.*
**[14:08] Gold**
Doesn't look like infighting.
**[14:12] Gold**
Did you defeat them all by yourself?
**[14:13] Haruto**
*What now?*
**[14:14] Haruto**
*I have no idea what to say here.*
**[14:16] Gold**
My name is Gold Zenfis.
**[14:18] Gold**
What about you?
**[14:19] Haruto**
*Th-That's it!*
**[14:21] Haruto**
*I need to get in character here!*
**[14:23] Haruto**
*I'll come up with a
character to play it off!*
**[14:25] Haruto**
My name is...
**[14:29] Haruto**
Still pending!
***SIGN*** Couldn't think of anything
**[14:32] Gold**
Still Pending?
**[14:34] Gold**
Are you the one who saved
my wife and daughter?
**[14:37] Haruto**
I can't seem to recall!
**[14:40] Gold**
Can you, at least, tell me your goal?
**[14:43] Haruto**
My goal?!
**[14:44] Haruto**
Um...
**[14:48] Haruto**
Yes, justice!
**[14:49] Haruto**
I am the enforcer of justice!
**[14:51] Haruto**
I'm here to keep the justice,
spread word of justice, carry out justice!
**[14:56] Haruto**
*Ugh, seriously?*
**[14:58] Haruto**
*This is* so *embarrassing!
**[15:06] Gold**
Who in the world *is* he?
**[15:12] Charlotte**
Haruto, you were so cool!
**[15:15] Charlotte**
When will you head out next?!
**[15:17] Haruto**
*I've got to keep doing this?!*
**[15:20] Haruto**
*And so, I went into battle time and again,*
**[15:25] Haruto**
*until I became known as...*

***SIGN*** Thud
**[15:32] Charlotte**
You were as cool as ever!
**[15:34] Haruto**
*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**
so I came running back!
**[00:18] Flay**
Please let me join you on these missions!
**[00:22] Charlotte**
Flay, thanks for your hard work!
***SIGN*** Ugh,
she's here to turn this into a headache
**[00:23] Haruto**
*Ugh, she's here to turn
this into a headache.*
**[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!
**[00:58] Haruto**
*Don't you play along with her!*
**[01:00] Charlotte**
Haruto!
**[01:01] Flay**
My master!
**[01:04] Haruto**
*Whatta pain!*
***SIGN*** Whatta pain
**[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!
**[01:20] Thief A**
Heh, just check out this haul!
**[01:23] Thief B**
We'll be eating real good for a while!
**[01:26] Haruto**
You there!
**[01:27] Haruto**
What, exactly, are you up to?!
**[01:29] Thief B**
Wh-Who goes there?!
**[01:33] Haruto**
They call me darker than darkness...
**[01:37] Haruto**
The Black Knight has arrived!
**[01:41] Thief B**
Th-The Black Knight?!
**[01:44] Flay**
They call me redder than redness...
**[01:48] Flay**
I am the Crimson Knight!
**[01:51] Flay**
Flame Fenrir!
**[01:54] Thief B**
Wh-Who in the world are you?!
**[01:56] Flay**
I'm about to reduce every
one of you to cinders!
**[02:00] Flay**
Take this!
**[02:02] Haruto**
*Hold your horses!*
**[02:03] Haruto**
*Were you even listening to me?!*
**[02:04] Group**
Hot, hot, hot!
**[02:07] Haruto**
*Hey, now! They're gonna burn up!*
**[02:09] Haruto**
Flay! Stay!
**[02:12] Flay**
Burn!
**[02:14] Haruto**
Stay!
**[02:21] Flay**
It's not working?!
**[02:23] Flay**
How about this, then?!
**[02:27] Haruto**
Stay!
**[02:29] Haruto**
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.*
**[03:27] Charlotte**
I can't wait to see more of your manzai!
**[03:31] Haruto**
*Wait, that part?!*
**[03:33] Haruto**
*Seeing Char look so happy*
**[03:36] Haruto**
*makes me wanna keep working with Flay!*
**[03:38] Haruto**
*As if! Not happening!*
**[03:40] Charlotte**
Flay, your finishing pose
should be like this!
**[03:43] Flay**
Like this?
**[03:46] Haruto**
*When will I be able to live out
a peaceful life as a recluse?*

**[05:23] Laius**
Damn it!
**[05:24] Laius**
How did it end up this way?!
**[05:26] Laius**
I'm the prince!
**[05:27] Laius**
The progeny of the Flash Princess,
next in line to be king!
**[05:31] Laius**
I was going to make sure
he understood that...
**[05:34] Laius**
I thought he was supposed
to be a worthless level 2!
**[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.
**[06:01] Laius**
There's no need for that!
**[06:04] Royal Captain**
Your Highness.
**[06:05] Royal Captain**
This is for Your Highness's sake.
**[06:09] Royal Captain**
Please do as I say.
**[06:14] Laius**
Fine, then.
**[06:19] Charlotte**
Haruto, the banquet is over!
**[06:23] Charlotte**
Sorry, I forgot to knock!
**[06:27] Haruto**
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.
**[06:48] Haruto Copy**
I'm so damn sick of everything!
**[06:51] Haruto Copy**
Being forced to do all the
stuff you don't want to do!
**[06:53] Haruto Copy**
Exactly what do I mean to you?!
**[06:59] Charlotte**
Is the other Haruto all right?
**[07:03] Charlotte**
At least I'll be there
for the tour tomorrow...
**[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?
**[07:17] Flay**
Th-This was the first
outfit that pleased you!
**[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.
**[07:28] Flay**
This human form sure is inconvenient!
**[07:31] Haruto**
*Sheesh, she sure is hopeless.*
**[07:37] Charlotte**
Isn't that nice, Flay?
**[07:39] Flay**
Thank you vewy mush...
**[07:41] Haruto**
Listen to me.
**[07:42] Haruto**
The next time you have a problem,
make sure you tell me.
**[07:45] Flay**
Oh, then I have about ten
things to ask of you...
**[07:46] Haruto**
Denied.
**[07:47] [SONG] Sign**
Shock
**[07:48] Charlotte**
Haruto, I have something
to ask of you, as well.
**[07:53] Haruto**
S-Sure, what is it?
**[07:56] Charlotte**
For this very day, I thought up
a special attack that uses snow!
**[08:01] Charlotte**
But sadly, I'm pretty sure I can't use it!
***SIGN*** Straightforward
**[08:06] Charlotte**
I'm sure you can handle it, though!
**[08:09] Charlotte**
So if you would!
**[08:12] Haruto**
*I've got a bad feeling about this.*
**[08:14] Haruto**
*But I can't say no to Char...*
**[08:17] Haruto**
So, how do you use it?
**[08:19] Charlotte**
Whisper, whisper.
**[08:21] Charlotte**
Whisper, whisper, whisper.
**[08:23] Charlotte**
Whisper, whisper.
**[08:23] Haruto**
Um, and I need to do that right now?
**[08:26] Charlotte**
Yes, please!
**[08:30] Haruto**
Okay.
**[08:31] Charlotte**
Hooray!
**[08:33] Flay**
Why's it always her?!
**[08:44] Charlotte**
I'm so excited!
**[08:47] Haruto**
Be stained ever redder by your own blood!
**[08:50] Haruto**
Bloody Iceberg!
**[08:52] Haruto**
*So damn embarrassing!*
**[08:54] Haruto**
Shatter the earth!
**[09:04] Charlotte**
You did it, Haruto!
**[09:06] Charlotte**
That was perfect!
**[09:07] Flay**
Lord Haruto, your powers are mighty indeed.
**[09:11] Haruto**
*Man, that was super embarrassing.*
**[09:14] Haruto**
*But it was worth it to make Char happy, I guess.*
**[09:18] Haruto**
*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,*
**[10:57] Natalia**
Oh, you're so talented!
**[10:57] Haruto**
*and that woman is staying quiet, as well.*
**[10:59] Haruto**
*That means one thing.*
**[11:01] Haruto**
*Now I can finally live a
fulfilling life as a shut-in!*
**[11:05] Haruto**
*And so...*
**[11:06] Haruto**
*let's hurry on back to my room!*
**[11:08] Gold**
Oh, that's right, Haruto.
**[11:10] Gold**
Sorry to say, but you'll attend school in
the royal capital starting this spring.
***SIGN*** Freeze

**[11:16] Haruto**
*Huh?*
**[11:17] Haruto**
*That's one hell of a revelation
to drop in the same tone as,*
**[11:20] Haruto**
*"Hey, can you stop by the convenience store?"*
**[11:22] Gold**
There are complicated factors at play here.
**[11:25] Gold**
I tried to get you out of it,
but I couldn't refuse.
**[11:29] Gold**
I'll tell you more about it later.
**[11:30] Haruto**
No way!
**[11:32] Gold**
Unfortunately...
**[11:32] Haruto**
No way in hell!
**[11:34] Haruto**
*And that accursed keyword, "school"!*
**[11:37] Haruto**
*The place I detested most
in my previous life!*
**[11:39] Haruto**
*And did he say the royal capital?*
**[11:41] Haruto**
*You can't be serious!*
**[11:43] Gold**
Are you okay?!
**[11:45] Haruto**
*Just when my ideal lifestyle
was within my grasp!*
**[11:49] Haruto**
*What arduous trial is this?!*
**[11:51] Gold**
Haruto?
***SIGN*** Haruto...?
**[11:53] Haruto**
*I'm left with no choice but
to set my new mission into action.*
**[11:58] Haruto**
*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**
*This rules!*
**[20:05] Charlotte**
Haruto!
**[20:07] Charlotte**
I came over to watch some anime!
**[20:09] Haruto**
*Well, this still happens, though.*
**[20:12] Haruto**
S-Sure.

**[20:34] Charlotte**
Another awesome episode of
*Tiny★Love Cure* this week.
**[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**
Did you really think I wouldn't catch on?
**[21:52] Haruto Copy**
Don't treat me like your lab rat.
**[21:54] Haruto**
Shut up and get over here.
**[21:55] Haruto Copy**
Why don't *you* get over *here*?
**[21:59] Haruto Copy**
What's wrong?
**[22:00] Haruto Copy**
What are you scared of?
**[22:01] Haruto Copy**
It's clear as day what you're thinking.
**[22:04] Haruto Copy**
You're scared of messing up and getting
stuck in that dimension, right?
***SIGN*** Annoyed
**[22:09] Haruto Copy**
Too scared to put your own life on the line?
***SIGN*** Mwahaha
**[22:11] Haruto Copy**
Cat's out of the bag, original me!
***SIGN*** Mwahaha
**[22:14] Haruto**
He really pisses me off!
**[22:16] Haruto**
You think I'm scared?
**[22:18] Haruto**
What if I do *this*?!
**[22:20] Haruto**
Flay?!
**[22:21] Flay**
How dare you?!
**[22:23] Flay**
And you think you're fit to
stand in for Lord Haruto?!
**[22:27] Flay**
Take this!
**[22:29] [SONG] Sign**
Blargh
**[22:32] Haruto**
You're something else.
**[22:34] Flay**
I'm honored.
**[22:35] Charlotte**
Are you okay, copy Haruto?
**[22:39] Haruto Copy**
Oh, what do I see but an angel?
**[22:42] Charlotte**
I'm a magical girl, actually.
**[22:43] Flay**
Lord Haruto, this means the
experiment was a success.
***SIGN*** This... is really giving
me mixed feelings
**[22:47] Haruto**
Yeah. Now all that's left is...
**[22:52] Haruto**
Okay. Now you can come and go
between here and the castle.
**[23:01] Haruto**
Oh, right.
**[23:02] Sign**
I forgot...
**[23:02] Haruto**
I need to find an attendant.

***SIGN*** I Need to Find an Attendant...!
**[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!
**[05:24] Johnny**
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...
**[08:15] Haruto**
Oh, you love this spot, huh?
**[08:18] Haruto**
That's good to hear.
**[08:21] Gigan**
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?
***SIGN*** Staaaare
**[08:54] Haruto**
*How come she's only sharp-witted
at times like these?*
**[08:59] Haruto**
*More like, can I just pick Flay?*
**[09:01] (Flashback) Gold**
You can't take Flay.
**[09:03] (Flashback) Gold**
Can't take Flay...
**[09:05] (Flashback) Gold**
Can't take Flay...
**[09:06] (Flashback) Gold**
Can't take Flay...
**[09:08] Haruto**
It's got nothing to do with you!
**[09:11] Flay**
M-Master!

**[09:19] Charlotte**
I've come up with a suitable reading
for the Black Knight's name.
**[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!
**[09:40] Haruto**
*I'm so sorry for turning a young noblewoman
from a fantasy world into this!*
**[09:45] Sign**
Blah blah blah
**[09:45] Johnny**
Welcome, Lady Charlotte.
**[09:47] Johnny**
I've heard all about you from Miss Flay.
**[09:50] Johnny**
This is a place for those
who were saved by my liege,
**[09:53] Johnny**
as well as a shelter for the stray
monsters rounded up by Miss Flay.
**[09:57] Charlotte**
Wow, Haruto!
**[09:59] Charlotte**
You found a place for all
these monsters to live?
***SIGN*** Mostly her work
**[10:03] Charlotte**
I've come up with a suitable
name for this place.
**[10:08] Charlotte**
How does Pandemonium sound?
***SIGN*** m 0 0 l 180 0 l 180 64 l 0 64
***SIGN*** New name:
Pandemonium
The Garden of Demons
**[10:15] Johnny**
Magnificent.
***SIGN*** Am I Actually the Strongest?
**[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**
Let's take it out all at once!
**[14:41] Haruto**
The Black Knight has arrived!
**[14:45] Haruto**
Rejuvenate!
**[14:48] Adventurer**
Wh-Where did they come from?
**[14:51] Flay**
You worthless scoundrels.
**[14:53] Flay**
Ganging up on and torturing the weak!
**[14:56] Flay**
I'll reduce you all to ashes!
**[14:59] Haruto**
Ah.
**[15:00] Flay**
Burn to death!
**[15:04] Haruto**
Hey, calm down!
**[15:06] Haruto**
Stay, stay!
**[15:18] Haruto**
Hello there.
**[15:20] Haruto**
I'm the Black Knight, hero of justice...
**[15:28] Flay**
How dare you?!
**[15:29] Flay**
Show my master some respect!
**[15:33] Haruto**
It's fine.
**[15:35] Haruto**
I'm sure you've been on edge,
with those adventurers after you.
**[15:38] Haruto**
I don't mind at all.
**[15:40] Haruto**
Did you think I'd say that?!
***SIGN*** Peeved
**[15:41] Haruto**
I came all this way to help you!
**[15:43] Haruto**
I'll unheal those wounds
if you do that again!
**[15:46] Liza**
Help me? You did?
**[15:49] Haruto**
*Oh, I can hear her voice
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**
Blizzard... Lizard...
**[20:37] Haruto**
How about Liza?
**[20:38] Haruto**
Nice to meet you, Liza.
**[20:40] Liza**
Liza.
**[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.
**[21:34] Flay**
I won't lose to you!

This is Liza, a Blizzard Dragon.
**[00:05] Haruto**
She says she wants
to work here as a maid.
**[00:08] Liza**
Th-Thank you for your consideration.
**[00:11] Natalia**
Oh, my! She's so adorable!
**[00:13] Natalia**
I'm all for it!

**[00:22] Liza**
Y-Yeah. Same here.
**[00:25] Gold**
I can hardly believe this girl
is the dragon we discussed.
**[00:28] Gold**
Never mind that you managed
to bring her back here...
**[00:33] Gold**
As for me, I have no problems as long
as she abides by the castle rules.
**[00:37] Gold**
Otherwise, you can do as you see fit.

**[02:15] Flay**
Liza.
**[02:16] Flay**
You won't be able to work here
with a halfhearted attitude.
**[02:20] Flay**
I'll be taking this time
to test your abilities.
**[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...
**[02:31] Flay**
so it breaks.
**[02:33] Flay**
That's why you need to be careful.
**[02:35] Liza**
Got it.
**[02:43] Liza**
Does this look good?
**[02:45] Flay**
Y-Yeah. Fine work.
**[02:48] Flay**
Next is washing dishes!
**[03:12] Flay**
Next up, cooking!
**[03:22] Maid A**
You're doing well.
**[03:38] Gold**
Did you make this, Liza?
**[03:39] Gold**
I must say, it's quite good.
**[03:43] Natalia**
Oh, I love how this is seasoned!
**[03:47] Gold**
Very impressive for your first time.
**[03:50] Flay**
Guh...
**[03:50] Natalia**
Yes, it really is!
**[03:52] Liza**
Lady Charlotte, you've
got some on your face.
**[03:56] Charlotte**
Thank you very much.
**[03:58] Natalia**
It sounds like you're doing just fine, Liza.
**[04:01] Natalia**
I hear from the maids that
you're a quick learner.
**[04:04] Liza**
Yes, everyone's been a good teacher to me.
**[04:07] Natalia**
Is there anything else
that you're skilled at?
**[04:13] Liza**
I used to love reading books,
**[04:15] Liza**
so I have some fundamental
knowledge of magic and the like.
**[04:17] Natalia**
I see!
**[04:19] Natalia**
Then why don't you take this opportunity
to become Charlotte's personal maid?
**[04:23] Natalia**
What do you think, dear?
**[04:25] Gold**
Oh, um, sounds good to me.
**[04:28] Liza**
Lady Charlotte's personal maid...
**[04:31] Liza**
Got it! I'll put forth my utmost effort!
**[04:34] Natalia**
Oh, my! How dependable!
**[04:35] Flay**
Guh...
**[04:37] Charlotte**
Thank you, Liza!
**[04:45] Liza**
I'm coming in.
**[04:49] Liza**
Good morning, Lady Charlotte.
**[04:52] Charlotte**
Good morning.

Look at this!
**[05:41] Charlotte**
I've managed to create
such a large fireball!
**[05:44] Haruto**
Oh... that's amazing.
**[05:47] Charlotte**
It's thanks to you, Liza!
**[05:49] Liza**
No, you're just quick on the uptake.
**[05:53] Haruto**
By the way, what's with the water?
**[05:55] Liza**
Oh, I was just doing the laundry.
**[06:01] Haruto**
*She's getting her other work
done while teaching Char magic!*
**[06:06] Haruto**
*How hyper-competent!*
**[06:07] Haruto**
You're not tired from moving around so much?
**[06:09] Liza**
It turns out that I enjoy moving around.
**[06:13] Liza**
It's calming for me.
**[06:15] Haruto**
Sorry for making you do all sorts of stuff.
**[06:19] Charlotte**
Have I been a burden on you, Liza?
**[06:23] Liza**
No, you're not a burden at all.
**[06:26] Liza**
In fact, I really enjoy
serving you, Lady Charlotte.
**[06:31] Charlotte**
I'm really happy to hear that,
**[06:34] Charlotte**
but please tell me if you
don't want to do something.
**[06:38] Charlotte**
I want to become friends with you, Liza!
**[06:41] Liza**
Friends?
**[06:46] Haruto**
If you want to, then go ahead.
**[06:51] Liza**
Yeah.
**[06:53] Liza**
I also want to be your friend.
**[07:01] Charlotte**
Thank you so much, Liza!
**[07:04] Haruto**
*Too precious!*
**[07:05] Charlotte**
I'm so happy! I've
always wanted a friend!
**[07:10] Liza**
I'm happy, too.
**[07:12] Haruto**
*Liza really is so well-behaved.*
**[07:14] Haruto**
*So earnest, a good learner,

**[07:19] Haruto**
*Hold on.*

*Wait, was Liza the ideal attendant
I've been looking for?!*

*Winning so hard!*

Oh, it's nothing. Don't worry about it.

Lady Charlotte, your break
time is almost over.
**[08:34] Charlotte**
I understand. Let's go back.
**[08:39] Haruto**
Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you something.
**[08:42] Haruto**
I'm going to be attending school in
the royal capital starting next week.
**[08:47] Charlotte**
What... did you say?
**[08:50] Haruto**
Like I said, next week
I'm starting school...
**[08:52] Charlotte**
School... A hidden student council...
**[08:55] Charlotte**
Terrorists... Magical battles...
**[08:58] Charlotte**
Liza, I'm going to cancel all

**[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**
Whoosh!
**[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
***SIGN*** Wobble
**[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.
**[23:05] Charlotte**
What?!

Haruto, be careful on your journey.
**[00:03] Haruto**
Yeah, I'll be fine.
**[00:05] Gold**
Did you hide Liza's horns and tail?
**[00:09] Gold**
She seems a bit uneasy about it.
**[00:11] Haruto**
Well, it might take her
some time to get used to.

There, there.

**[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
**[14:53] Sign**
Ahaha
**[14:55] Haruto**
*I-I wanna go home!*
**[15:16] Liza**
W-Wow!
**[15:19] Liza**
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!
**[15:56] Charlotte**
Why don't we eat at a
restaurant in the capital?
**[15:59] Haruto**
Well, you know...
**[16:01] Flay**
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!
**[16:08] Charlotte**
Flay, can I speak with you?
**[16:11] Charlotte**
Whisper, whisper...
***SIGN*** Whisper whisper
**[16:12] Sign**
Grr...
**[16:12] Charlotte**
Whisper, whisper...
**[16:13] Flay**
Grr...
**[16:15] Sign**
Hmm...
**[16:15] Sign**
Hmmm...
**[16:17] Flay**
I see!
**[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!
**[17:27] Liza**
It's on your face.
**[17:29] Sign**
Blessed Blessed
**[17:37] Haruto**
A map?
**[17:38] Charlotte**
To understand the geography of the capital.
**[17:40] Haruto**
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.
**[18:03] Charlotte**
Please take care not to stand
out or make a commotion.
**[18:05] Flay**
You can count on me.
**[18:06] Haruto**
*I can't trust her!*
**[18:09] Haruto**
*Well, I'll play along with Char here.*
**[18:16] Charlotte**
Okay, Haruto, let's get going!
**[18:19] Haruto**
Ah, sure.
**[18:22] Charlotte**
It's a date!
**[18:25] Haruto**
What did you say?
**[18:26] Charlotte**
It's a date.
**[18:29] Haruto**
A...
**[18:30] Haruto**
*A date?!*
**[18:34] Haruto**
*Hold your horses!*
***SIGN*** Pound

**[18:35] Haruto**

**[18:45] Haruto**
*And as for me!*
**[18:46] Haruto**
*Have I ever experienced
this in either life?!*
**[18:49] Haruto**
*No, sir!*
**[18:50] Haruto**
*This is my bonafide... first date!*
**[18:54] Charlotte**
Haruto?
**[18:56] Haruto**
*Looks like I've got no choice.*
**[18:57] Haruto**
*It's all for my adorable sister.*
**[18:59] Haruto**
*I'll tag along with everything I've got!*
**[19:00] Charlotte**
Go, go!
**[19:23] Shopkeeper**
Welcome!
**[19:26] Charlotte**
Can I go take a look?
**[19:27] Haruto**
Sure.
**[19:28] Shopkeeper**
Please, feel free to try them on.
**[19:31] Charlotte**
Thank you very much!
**[19:34] Charlotte**
Ah! This one is cute!
**[19:37] Haruto**
*Yeah, but you're even cuter!*
***SIGN*** Buying immediately

**[19:40] Haruto**
I'll take this.
**[19:41] Shopkeeper**
Thanks!
**[19:44] Charlotte**
Thank you, Haruto!
**[19:46] Haruto**
*No, thank* you*!
**[19:48] Haruto**
*The fearsome magic of dates!*
**[19:52] Charlotte**
Haruto!
**[19:54] Charlotte**
Over here!
**[19:55] Haruto**
Watch where you're running, now!
**[20:00] Charlotte**
I'm so sorry!
**[20:02] Iris**
I'm sorry, too.
**[20:04] Iris**
I was in a bit of a hurry.
**[20:06] Iris**
Are you hurt?
**[20:08] Charlotte**
No, I'm just fine.
**[20:10] Iris**
Oh?
**[20:11] Iris**
You're...
**[20:14] Iris**
Have we ever met before?
**[20:17] Haruto**
Huh?
**[20:19] Haruto**
No, I don't think we've ever met.
**[20:22] Iris**
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.
**[20:47] Iris**
I was mistaken from my
exhaustion after a long trip.
**[20:49] Iris**
I apologize if I offended you.
**[20:52] Haruto**
More importantly, aren't you in a hurry?
**[20:55] Iris**
Oh, that's right!
**[20:57] Iris**
I'll be late to my part-time work interview.
**[20:59] Iris**
Well, then, pardon me.
**[21:04] Haruto**
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.
**[21:13] Charlotte**
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
demons and Char sense something?*
**[21:29] Haruto**
*Whatever it may be, I want
to avoid any headaches,*
**[21:32] Haruto**
*so from tomorrow until
the entrance ceremony,*
**[21:34] Haruto**
*I'm going to stay in my room and do nothing!*

**[00:00] Haruto**
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.
**[00:11] Haruto**
Huh, why not?
**[00:12] Haruto Copy**
Do you know how I felt, being stuck
in this room for the last few days?
**[00:16] Haruto**
Ah...
**[00:17] Haruto**
Well, I thought I'd be exempt
from that, which was my error.
**[00:21] Haruto**
Wait, this might be my chance.
**[00:23] Instructor**
What are these answers?!
**[00:25] Instructor**
Get out of here!
**[00:27] Haruto**
If I flaunt my utter
incompetence on the test...
**[00:30] Haruto Copy**
It'd be possible to get kicked out
before the entrance ceremony.
**[00:34] Haruto Copy**
I see.
**[00:36] Haruto**
If I can manage that,
I'll have nothing left to do here.
**[00:39] Haruto**
Okay.
**[00:40] Haruto**
I'll take care of this in no time!
**[00:57] Haruto**
*Safely made it to the entrance!*
**[00:59] Polkos**
Oh, you there.
**[01:01] Polkos**
Um, would you be Haruto,
the son of Margrave Zenfis?
**[01:05] Haruto**
Ah, yes.
**[01:11] Polkos**
We've been expecting you.
**[01:13] Polkos**
Come now, follow me.
**[01:19] Haruto**
*Whoa, amazing!*

Ah, yes.

**[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.
**[03:31] Tear**
Look down, I say, down!
**[03:40] Tear**
You must be 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!*
**[05:40] Tear**
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!
**[08:22] Haruto**
*"My own writing"?*
**[08:24] Haruto**
*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**
I'd never let the other professors
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?!*
**[08:51] Tear**
There you have it, Haruto.
**[08:54] Tear**

**[08:55] Haruto**
No way!

Wait right there!

That's what happened.

The rest is in your hands.

I don't want to hear it from someone making

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**
I'm about to burst!
**[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!

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.*
**[14:47] (Flashback) Tear**
Oh!
**[14:48] (Flashback) Tear**

**[14:50] (Flashback) Tear**
Won't you stop by my room for some tea?
**[14:53] (Flashback) Tear**
Haruto!
**[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.

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

There's no point at all
if you feel no shame!
**[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...
**[17:40] Schneidel**
What's wrong?
**[17:41] Schneidel**
Is it not a small price to pay
to find me in good humor?
**[17:48] Iris**
Very well.
**[17:49] Haruto**

**[17:53] Haruto**
*Eh?*
**[17:54] Haruto**
*She's not serious, right?*
**[18:13] Schneidel**
What's wrong?
**[18:14] Schneidel**
Your hands are trembling.
**[18:16] Schneidel**
I can ask them to help you, if you want.
**[18:19] Iris**
N-No, there's no need.
**[18:34] Haruto**
*Ah!*
**[18:35] Haruto**
*Why would you go that far?!*

**[19:02] Haruto**
You're way too defenseless!
**[19:04] Haruto**
I'll fly you back to the dorms,

so put some clothes on at once and go home!
**[19:07] Iris**

**[19:12] Schneidel**
Hey!

**[19:22] Schneidel**
How did you do this?!
**[19:23] Haruto**
I am Shiva, the enforcer of justice!
**[19:26] Haruto**
I'm here to punish you for your sins!
**[19:28] Schneidel**
My sins?
**[19:30] Schneidel**
You must be kidding me!
**[19:37] Schneidel**
Wh-What's happening?!
**[19:39] Schneidel**
D-Damn you!
**[19:41] Schneidel**
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**
See you!

**[00:03] Teacher**
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.
**[01:23] Haruto**
Bye!
***SIGN*** Clench
**[01:25] Tear**
Then I'm left with no choice.
**[01:26] Tear**
I'll explain everything one more time!
**[01:30] Haruto**
*She never gives up, does she?*

**[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.
**[12:49] Iris**
My name is...
***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
say it out loud.
**[16:17] Flay**
The Demon King's name is...
**[16:19] Flay/Iris**
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...
**[17:39] Charlotte**
lov—
**[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.
**[21:36] Iris**
You, too, Haruto.

**[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.
**[01:31] Haruto**
Long hug, don't you think?
**[01:33] Charlotte**
Parting is always such a shame.

**[03:13] Iris**
Good morning, Haruto!
**[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!
**[10:00] Belkam**
Haruto Zenfis.
**[10:02] Belkam**
What did you just say?
**[10:04] Haruto**
*Ah, I messed up.*

**[10:07] Haruto**

**[10:11] Haruto**
*I've been calling them
"hidden properties"...*
**[10:15] Haruto**
*And I've only ever mentioned
them to Char and the others...*
**[10:20] Belkam**
Answer me!
***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!
**[10:39] Haruto**
Weiße Eule?
**[10:42] Belkam**
A mysterious individual
**[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
been proceeding with caution,
**[10:58] Belkam**
we have yet to report this
to even the royal family!
**[11:00] Belkam**
And yet you...
**[11:02] Belkam**
Your insight is simply astonishing!
**[11:05] Belkam**
I've never dreamed of such talent!
**[11:10] Belkam**
How about it, Haruto Zenfis?!
**[11:12] Belkam**
Leave that research lab studying
utterly useless ancient magic
**[11:15] Belkam**
and come work under me!
**[11:17] Haruto**
Th-That'll be a no from me.
**[11:20] Iris**
Professor Belkam.
**[11:21] Iris**
Recruitment during lessons
is simply unbecoming of you.
**[11:25] Belkam**
Then you should join us, as well!
**[11:27] Iris**
I already said I wouldn't.
**[11:29] Belkam**
Haruto Zenfis.
**[11:31] Belkam**
You wouldn't happen to actually
be Weiße Eule, would you?!
**[11:36] Haruto**
No way!

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.
**[19:36] Tear**
You really didn't notice my binding magic?!

**[19:53] Tear**
Not even you can undo that spell so easily.
**[19:57] Tear**
And I can't have you leaving before you've
answered the 271 questions I have for you!
**[20:06] Tear**
Huh?
**[20:07] Tear**
How did you neutralize it?!
**[20:10] Tear**
And why am I completely immobilized?!
**[20:13] Haruto**
It's payback for binding me just now.
**[20:15] Tear**
Amazing. Polkos!
**[20:17] Tear**
This is complete domain fixation here!
**[20:19] Polkos**
Spare us the analysis!
**[20:21] Polkos**
Just apologize already!
**[20:22] Tear**
I'd love to, but the number of
questions has gone up to 824!
**[20:27] Tear**
I'm so curious!
**[20:28] Tear**
Will you please answer them?
**[20:30] Polkos**
Seriously, you're being rude!
**[20:32] Tear**
I see.
**[20:33] Tear**
You want me to offer something of value.
**[20:35] Polkos**
She's not listening at all!
**[20:37] Tear**
I know! How about my chastity?!
**[20:40] Tear**
Your satisfaction is guaranteed!
**[20:44] Polkos**
For crying out loud!
**[20:46] Polkos**
You big dummy!
**[20:47] Polkos**
What now?!
**[20:50] Tear**
I need to pee.
**[20:54] Haruto**
Stop looking into me.
**[20:56] Tear**
You're gonna say that *now*?!
**[20:57] Tear**
You're quite the skilled negotiator.
**[21:00] Tear**
I'm impressed!
**[21:01] Tear**
So can you please undo this right away?
**[21:05] Haruto**
Your answer?
**[21:06] Tear**
Oh, yeah, I'll stop!
**[21:08] Tear**
I don't want to pee myself
in front of my students!
**[21:14] Tear**
I'll stop! I'm sorry!
**[21:17] Tear**
The dam's about to burst!
**[21:19] Haruto**
I see. It's a promise.
**[21:22] Haruto**
I bid you farewell.
**[21:28] Polkos**
Professor!
**[21:29] Tear**
I-I can move again, Polkos!
**[21:31] Polkos**

**[00:00] Tear**
Now, then.
**[00:02] Tear**
Here's to our new research students.
**[00:05] Tear**
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**
Havin' fun?
**[02:19] Haruto Copy**
H-Hey!
**[02:25] Haruto Copy**
*Wait, she's been drinking!*
**[02:28] Iris**
Wahoo!
**[02:32] Haruto Copy**

**[02:41] Haruto Copy**
*That was for* you*?!
**[02:50] Iris**

**[02:52] Iris**

**[02:56] Haruto Copy**

**[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!
**[06:41] Schneidel**
* At this rate, all of my machinations*
* will have been for naught!*
**[06:45] Schneidel**
Hafen House Special Assassin Unit!
**[06:49] Schneidel**
You understand what your mission is, right?
**[06:52] Schneidel**
Eliminate Haruto Zenfis and
the other three, tonight!
**[06:57] Group**
Yes!
**[07:07] Assassin Unit Captain**
Situation report, now.
**[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**
We're fully protected against witnesses?
**[07:25] Assassin Unit A**
Yes.
**[07:26] Assassin Unit A**
We have ten men in position putting up a net
for soundproofing and intruder detection.
**[07:31] Assassin Unit Captain**
And we also have ten men
from the Assault Unit.
**[07:34] Assassin Unit Captain**
Twenty men gathered here
from our elite forces.
**[07:37] Assassin Unit Captain**
Failure is absolutely impossible here.
**[07:40] Assassin Unit Captain**
Let us commence the operation!
**[07:42] Group**
Yes!
**[07:50] Assassin Unit Captain**
What's wrong?!
**[07:52] Assassin Unit B**
M-My nose!
**[07:56] Assassin Unit Captain**
It's like there's an invisible wall here.
**[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.*
