[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
SIGN Ghhhhh...
[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.
[20:18] Love Cure
Now's our chance!
[20:19] Love Cure
Love Cure Cure!
[20:24] Charlotte
I'll send you to eternal sleep!
[20:26] Charlotte
Marvelous Pretty Love and
Peace Death Explosion!
[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.

You're scared of messing up and getting
stuck in that dimension, right?
SIGN Annoyed

Too scared to put your own life on the line?

You think I'm scared?

What if I do this?!

Are you okay, copy Haruto?
[22:39] Haruto Copy
Oh, what do I see but an angel?

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...

Okay. Now you can come and go
between here and the castle.

Oh, right.

I need to find an attendant.
