**[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?

**[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!
