[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?

SIGN    I Flip My Lid
[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.
