[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!
[01:52] Gold
    What in the world?

SIGN    Char Hates Me
[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!
