[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    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.

    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.

    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...
[15:28] Haruto
    the Black Knight.
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.
