[00:11] ---
    What's going on, at this hour?
[00:13] ---
    I-I'm sorry...
    We just couldn't fall asleep.
[00:16] ---
    Looks like you haven't
    found the guards yet.
[00:23] ---
    We were looking all day today, but...
[00:26] ---
    ...I wonder if the captain
    learned anything?
[00:31] ---
    Hey, guys...
[00:33] ---
    The captain is okay, right?
[02:17] ---
    Dammit, that was supposed to be fatal;
    how did you avoid it?
[02:22] ---
    Daisuke, what are you...?!
[02:27] ---
    Blitz Hammer!
[02:46] ---
    They knew of our intentions.
[03:07] ---
    Blow away, Wind Wall!
[03:26] ---
    And you call yourself vice-captain?
[03:29] ---
    Take a nap!
[03:42] ---
    Dammit. All that effort to get
    the vice-captain for nothing.
[03:47] ---
    I thought you were a human
    from this world, not a monster!
[03:52] ---
    I'm unworthy of your praise.
[03:55] ---
    I just have more experience...
[03:59] ---
    ...in human-to-human combat.
[04:05] ---
    Why are you gloating?
[04:08] ---
    Daisuke, you're...
[04:17] ---
    It's useless!
[04:19] ---
    Not even death can stop them!
[04:22] ---
    What?! What do you...?
[04:31] ---
    Why? Why is nobody coming to help,
    after all this commotion?
[04:38] ---
    Just give up and die already,
    Captain Meld.
[04:50] ---
    No.
[04:51] ---
    I'll take the coward's way out.
[04:54] ---
    What?! Hey!
[04:59] ---
    Paint the world in crimson...
[05:25] ---
    The matter with the king,
    the issue with the knights,
[05:30] ---
    everything they do is half-baked.
    They are mere humans, after all.
[05:36] ---
    I suppose I must lend a hand.
[05:48] ---
    My god...
[05:50] ---
    Yes. This is what Lord Ehit wishes.
[05:56] ---
    I guess I can't say,
    "I'm counting on you."
[06:00] ---
    That's your enemy.
[06:02] ---
    Do your worst, knock them out!
[06:16] ---
    Well, well. I suppose I should be
    impressed, Captain.
[06:21] ---
    Quite clever.
    This could have been dangerous.
[06:25] ---
    What are you talking about?
[06:26] ---
    Doesn't matter, how are you?
    You took quite a beating.
[06:32] ---
    This is nothing.
[06:35] ---
    And her?
[06:36] ---
    She's gone. Said we're half-baked.
[06:38] ---
    I see. In my defense,
    her intervention was part of my plan.
[06:44] ---
    It does seem like I have god's blessing.
[06:49] ---
    How mean can this god be?
[06:53] ---
    At any rate, we got rid
    of the biggest obstacle.
[06:56] ---
    Now all we need is to
    stay under Yaegashi's radar.
[07:01] ---
    That's right. The king and
    the chancellor have lost their minds.
[07:06] ---
    The Church was never an obstacle.
[07:09] ---
    Yeah...
[07:11] ---
    Now that the captain is out
    of the picture, nothing can stop us.
[07:20] ---
    All right, let's speed this up.
[07:23] ---
    Like a rolling stone,
    we keep tumbling towards...
[07:29] ---
    The future that I desire...
[07:45] ---
    Can you show me the seashell
    that Myu gave you?
[07:48] ---
    Sure, but...
[07:51] ---
    What are you going to do with it?
[07:52] ---
    You'll see.
[07:55] ---
    Huh? Hajime-san...
[07:59] ---
    Are those people under attack?
[08:04] ---
    Looks like bandits. Around 40 of them.
[08:10] ---
    Facing, I guess, 15 guards.
[08:16] ---
    I'm impressed that they're holding
    their ground while being so outnumbered.
[08:19] ---
    Yes. That barrier isn't bad at all.
[08:23] ---
    I see. They need to break
    that down to get through.
[08:26] ---
    The bandits can't do anything if the
    guards shoot magic through the barrier.
[08:30] ---
    So why aren't the bandits retreating?
[08:33] ---
    Nobody native to this world would be able
    to maintain that huge barrier for long.
[08:38] ---
    It might take a while, but
    the bandits just have to wait it out.
[08:52] ---
    Hajime-kun, please!
    Help them! There could be--
[09:01] ---
    Thank you, Hajime-kun!
[09:03] ---
    If you see a criminal, step on the gas...
[09:06] ---
    That's what they teach
    at driving school, right?
[09:08] ---
    No way! Stop making up crazy rules!
[09:15] ---
    What the...?!
[09:23] ---
    If I'm going to do it, I'll show no mercy.
[09:27] ---
    I will kill every last one of them.
    You understand that, right, Kaori?
[09:31] ---
    Yes, I do.
[09:32] ---
    Then go. I won't let them interfere.
[09:35] ---
    Yes!
[09:41] ---
    You stupid whore!
[09:58] ---
    Kaori!
[10:03] ---
    I knew it! It's you, Lily!
[10:09] ---
    I thought I recognized that barrier.
[10:12] ---
    I had no idea why you would be
    out here, so I wasn't sure.
[10:17] ---
    It seems like lady luck
    hasn't abandoned me yet.
[10:25] ---
    Kaori, are you done healing?
[10:34] ---
    You're Nagumo-san, aren't you?
    Long time no see.
[10:38] ---
    Shizuku and the others
    told me about your survival.
[10:41] ---
    I'm so glad you're safe...
[10:44] ---
    Kaori was in shambles
    the whole time you were gone.
[10:48] ---
    Come on! This is not the time for that!
[10:53] ---
    I also heard about Kaori's
    once-in-a-lifetime romantic pledge.
[10:57] ---
    Please do fill me in on the details later.
[11:00] ---
    But anyway, who are you?
[11:04] ---
    Huh?
[11:08] ---
    Hajime-kun!
[11:09] ---
    She's the princess! The princess!
[11:11] ---
    Princess Liliana of
    the Kingdom of Heiligh!
[11:14] ---
    Don't you remember?!
[11:15] ---
    Huh? Oh, right.
[11:17] ---
    I didn't know getting
    forgotten could hurt so much...
[11:21] ---
    Lily, don't cry!
    Hajime-kun is the weird one here!
[11:25] ---
    A normal person would
    never forget you, Lily!
[11:28] ---
    Hey, am I being verbally abused right now?
[11:33] ---
    So, what is the princess doing out here?
[11:43] ---
    Lily...?
[11:45] ---
    Aiko-san was... kidnapped.
[12:05] ---
    For a while now, I've felt that something
    was wrong with the people at the castle.
[12:10] ---
    Father's support of the Holy Church
    was growing more radical each day,
[12:16] ---
    and his worship of Lord Ehit
    was nothing short of feverish.
[12:19] ---
    At first, I just thought he was just
    trying to deepen his bond with the Church.
[12:25] ---
    But I still couldn't help but feel
    that something was wrong.
[12:28] ---
    It was then that knights and
    soldiers began to appear lethargic,
[12:33] ---
    as if suffering from some disease.
[12:38] ---
    The branding of Nagumo-san
    as a heretic was also suspicious.
[12:42] ---
    Your efforts at the town of Ur and
    the Great Orcus Labyrinth were ignored,
[12:45] ---
    as well as Aiko-san's
    objection and arguments.
[12:49] ---
    Of course,
    I objected to my father as well.
[12:53] ---
    But he was determined to brand Nagumo-san
    the enemy of god, no matter what.
[13:00] ---
    Father began to look at me
    as if he was looking at an enemy.
[13:05] ---
    I grew afraid, so I went
    to Aiko-san to discuss the matter.
[13:11] ---
    But Aiko-san was kidnapped
    by a nun from the Divine Mountain.
[13:17] ---
    I thought that the nun was
    the mastermind behind this
[13:22] ---
    or connected to the
    mastermind in some way.
[13:25] ---
    I had to tell someone. But it's natural to
    assume that the castle is being watched.
[13:32] ---
    So I had to find someone who could help.
[13:35] ---
    The first people I thought of
    were you two, Kaori and Nagumo-san.
[13:40] ---
    Shizuku told me
    that you had travelled west.
[13:44] ---
    The rest you already know.
[13:46] ---
    I thought I would start
    by asking Duke Zengen for help,
[13:51] ---
    so I asked a caravan to let me ride along.
[13:54] ---
    I never thought
    I'd run into you along the way.
[13:59] ---
    A while ago, I would have
    said that this was god's blessing.
[14:04] ---
    But right now,
    I am afraid of the Church...
[14:09] ---
    What is going on?
[14:14] ---
    Lily...
[14:24] ---
    I suppose, for starters,
    I have to go save our teacher.
[14:28] ---
    Would you do that?!
[14:30] ---
    Don't get the wrong idea,
    it's not for the kingdom.
[14:33] ---
    I'm doing this for her.
[14:35] ---
    For Aiko-san...
[14:37] ---
    I'm the reason she got kidnapped.
    I can't just leave her to suffer.
[14:44] ---
    That said, if the cause of all of this got
    in the way of my rescue operation,
[14:50] ---
    I'd have no choice but to beat them up,
    whomever it turned out to be.
[14:54] ---
    Then all I can do is hope
    that's what'll happen.
[14:58] ---
    Thank you, Nagumo-san.
[15:02] ---
    The Divine Mountain that she was
    taken to is one of the Great Labyrinths.
[15:06] ---
    I wonder what kind of
    God's Age magic I can get there?
[15:10] ---
    Hajime, you're so awesome.
[15:13] ---
    Hajime-san is making that face again.
[15:16] ---
    It makes my heart throb!
[15:19] ---
    Hmm. Master, having such
    a vicious look on your face...
[15:23] ---
    It makes me wet!
[16:10] ---
    What are my students trying to do...?
    What could it be?
[16:16] ---
    Eliminating the "Irregular"...
    Irregular? Irregular...
[16:32] ---
    Nagumo-kun.
[16:34] ---
    Yeah, what is it, Sensei?
[16:36] ---
    What?!
[16:38] ---
    Over here.
[16:40] ---
    Huh? What?!
[16:43] ---
    Nagumo-kun, is that you?! What?!
[16:45] ---
    This is the top floor; this is
    the Divine Mountain, what?!
[16:47] ---
    Yeah, so, um, calm down, Sensei.
[16:51] ---
    I'm almost done checking for traps.
[17:09] ---
    Why are you so surprised?
    You noticed that I was coming, right?
[17:14] ---
    Even though I thought I had
    completely masked my presence...
[17:17] ---
    Noticed? What? Huh?
[17:20] ---
    Well, you did call out my name.
    You must have detected me.
[17:24] ---
    What?! Well, anyway, why are you here?
[17:27] ---
    To rescue you, of course.
[17:29] ---
    --Y-You came here for me?
    - Nagumo-kun? For me?
[17:34] ---
    --She's not already brainwashed
    or something, is she?
    --Y-You came here for me?
    Nagumo-kun? For me?
[17:42] ---
    What? No! You can't!
    So sudden! I'm your teacher...
[17:49] ---
    I'm just trying to take this off.
[17:53] ---
    Having your magic power
    sealed away is bad, right?
[17:56] ---
    Or is there a reason
    you need to keep this?
[17:58] ---
    Oh, right, I see...
[18:02] ---
    What did you think I was...?
[18:08] ---
    I'm sorry, it's nothing...
[18:19] ---
    How did you know I was being
    held here? Nobody else knew...
[18:25] ---
    The princess told me.
[18:27] ---
    The princess? Princess Liliana?
[18:30] ---
    She saw you get kidnapped.
[18:34] ---
    She figured the entire castle
    was under surveillance,
[18:37] ---
    so she couldn't tell
    Amanogawa and the others.
[18:41] ---
    She decided to leave
    the capital all alone.
[18:44] ---
    To find help.
[18:48] ---
    Liliana-san did that?
    And Nagumo-kun, you responded.
[18:54] ---
    Yeah. It does seem like I'm at least
    partly responsible for this situation.
[18:59] ---
    I'm sure I'm the last person
    you wanted to see, but...
[19:02] ---
    Well, I hope you'll put up with me
    until the others join.
[19:20] ---
    You're definitely not
    the last person I wanted to see.
[19:23] ---
    It's true, I haven't completely gotten
    over what happened with Shimizu-kun.
[19:28] ---
    I might never get over that.
[19:33] ---
    But still, I think I understand what
    you felt when you pulled that trigger.
[19:40] ---
    Sensei...
[19:42] ---
    I wasn't able to say this properly
    back then, so let me say it now.
[19:48] ---
    Thank you for saving me.
[19:51] ---
    I'm sorry I made you pull that trigger.
[20:03] ---
    I'm just doing what I want.
[20:06] ---
    I accept your gratitude
    but reject your apology.
[20:11] ---
    Anyway, let's get going.
[20:13] ---
    Nagumo-kun, please be careful.
[20:16] ---
    The Church adamantly
    branded you a heretic.
[20:20] ---
    Also, the person
    who kidnapped me might be--
[20:23] ---
    I know. Whatever the case may be,
    once I get you back to safety,
[20:27] ---
    I have to take care of
    my own business here,
[20:30] ---
    and in order to do that, I probably
    need to take on the Church anyway.
[20:34] ---
    I see, so you're ready for this.
[20:37] ---
    I am.
[20:45] ---
    Dammit, what is this timing...
[20:48] ---
    Or rather, this might
    actually work out in our favor.
[20:51] ---
    Did something happen?
[20:53] ---
    The Demons are attacking.
[20:55] ---
    What we just heard was the barrier
    surrounding the capital being shattered.
[20:58] ---
    The Demons are attacking?!
[21:00] ---
    Yes, the Heiligh Kingdom is being invaded.
[21:04] ---
    It can't be...
[21:06] ---
    Taken completely by surprise.
[21:07] ---
    Th-That's terrible...
[21:09] ---
    Sensei, regroup with Amanogawa and
    the others first. We'll talk more later.
[21:14] ---
    Y-Yes.
[21:32] ---
    Disintegration...?
[21:35] ---
    Precisely.
[21:47] ---
    Irregular, my name is Noint.
[21:51] ---
    As god's apostle, I will remove the
    unneeded pieces from the god's board.
[23:36] ---
    Next episode, "Invasion of the Capital."
