[00:03] Melfina
    I finally got to try it myself!
[00:06] Melfina
    Your cooking is as good
    as everyone says, Efil!
[00:10] Melfina
    You know, though, I never thought
    you'd buy a mansion like this.
[00:16] Melfina
    You weren't at the inn,
    so I had a hard time finding you.
[00:20] Kelvin
    You could've asked via the servant network!
[00:23] Melfina
    I wanted a heartwarming reunion!
[00:26] Melfina
    And more specifically, to surprise you!
[00:28] Kelvin
    So you just wanted my reaction?
[00:30] Gerard
    My King.
[00:32] Gerard
    Who is this beautiful woman?
[00:37] Sera
    I've never seen her before, actually.
[00:39] Sera
    Who is she?
[00:40] Kelvin
    Oh, this is...
[00:42] Melfina
    Excuse me, I haven't introduced myself.
[00:45] Melfina
    I'm not sure if we're really meeting
    for the first time, though.
[00:49] Melfina
    I'm Melfina. I was summoned last night.
[00:53] Gerard
    Is that you, P-Princess?
[00:56] Melfina
    Yes, it's me!
[00:58] Gerard
    I do know that voice...
[01:00] Sera
    Oh, so you're Melfina, huh?
[01:04] Melfina
    I'm sure you have complex
    feelings about me, Sera.
[01:09] Melfina
    Demon King Gustav was...
[01:10] Sera
    It's fine.
[01:12] Sera
    It's my father's fault for going too far.
[01:15] Sera
    And you weren't the one who
    summoned that hero, were you?
[01:20] Sera
    So what's the problem?
[01:23] Melfina
    Thank you!
[01:26] Gerard
    I was sure that my king had brought
    a new mistress home already.
[01:32] Kelvin
    Wait, where did you get that idea?
[01:34] Melfina
    That's right! I'm his wife, not a mistress!
[01:38] Sera
    Hey, that's filthy!
[01:40] Efil
    Master, let me wipe your mouth.
[01:42] Kelvin
    Thanks.
[01:43] Gerard
    So tell me, My King...
[01:47] Kelvin
    No, that's not right!
[01:49] Kelvin
    It's not! It really isn't!

[03:27] Kelvin
    So, is it a bad idea to call you Melfina?
[03:32] Kelvin
    You're a famous goddess in Deramis, right?
[03:35] Melfina
    That's true!
[03:37] Melfina
    Call me "Mel" from now on.
[03:39] Efil
    Mel, right? I'll tell Elly and Luca.
[03:43] Melfina
    Thanks.
[03:45] Melfina
    Now, since you've successfully
    summoned me, I need to reward you.
[03:51] Kelvin
    Reward me?
[03:53] Melfina
    You've done a great job.
[03:56] Melfina
    You get a flower for good work!
[03:58] Melfina
    Now receive the grace of Melfina,
    Goddess of Reincarnation.
[04:02] Kelvin
    Grace? Like Efil's "Fire Dragon King's Grace,"
    or the heroes' "Fairy's Grace"?
[04:09] Melfina
    What you just received was the
    Goddess of Reincarnation's Grace.
[04:11] Melfina
    It has two effects.
[04:13] Kelvin
    Two?
[04:14] Melfina
    The first is that once a month,
[04:17] Melfina
    it will completely prevent damage from a
    single wound that would otherwise be fatal!
[04:21] Kelvin
    That's super-powerful!
[04:24] Melfina
    Yes!
[04:25] Melfina
    It's perfect protection from unfortunate
    accidents and unexpected attacks!
[04:28] Sera
    That's great, Kelvin!
[04:30] Sera
    Now I don't have to hold back
    even the slightest, tiny bit
[04:33] Sera
    during our next training session!
[04:37] Melfina
    And one more... which is
    actually the most important one.
[04:44] Melfina
    The ability to summon heroes.

[05:03] Melfina
    Rigid Briar!
[05:06] Melfina
    I wouldn't suggest moving too much!
[05:14] Luca
    It's pretty!
[05:16] Luca
    But I'm kind of cold.
[05:18] Gerard
    Oh, Luca, you can't let
    your stomach get cold.
[05:25] Kelvin
    I wonder if they've made it
    to the Western Continent.
[05:33] Kelvin
    Heroes, huh?
[05:36] Sera
    Djinn Scrimmage! Right arm only!
[05:42] Gerard
    That's Victor's...
[05:48] Melfina
    Divine Dress.
[05:58] Sera
    I win!
[06:05] Kelvin
    What is a hero, anyway?
[06:08] Kelvin
    They say it's somebody who
    defeats the Demon King,
[06:10] Kelvin
    but that doesn't have to be a hero, does it?
[06:13] Kelvin
    For example, it could be
    a Rank S Adventurer,
[06:16] Kelvin
    or maybe the Beast King of Gaun, who's said
    to be the strongest on the Eastern Continent...
[06:30] Melfina
    You've grown, Sera.
[06:33] Sera
    You're really strong, too, Mel.
[06:36] Gerard
    A good fight!
[06:39] Gerard
    You both seemed more into it than usual.
    Did something happen?
[06:44] Sera
    Oh, we were fighting for the
    right to sleep next to Kelvin.
[06:47] Melfina(Background)
    What should we compete on next?
[06:48] Gerard
    The right to sleep next to him?
[06:49] Luca
    Aww, I want to sleep next to Master.
[06:50] Sera
    Maybe we should bet on whether
    tonight's dinner is meat or fish.
[06:54] Gerard
    Luca, you're still too young.
[06:59] Sera
    This feels great!
[07:01] Sera
    Baths are the best!
[07:03] Melfina
    It feels like it's washing
    away all my stress...
[07:07] Efil
    Is there any place on your
    bodies that still hurts?
[07:12] Sera
    I'm just fine!
[07:13] Sera
    Kelvin patched me up!
[07:16] Melfina
    He seemed very distracted, though.
[07:20] Sera
    Did he?
[07:21] Efil
    I think he's considering what Mel told him.
[07:28] Melfina
    About the heroes?
[07:30] Efil
    Yes.
[07:31] Efil
    Master was summoned from
    another world, as well.
[07:34] Efil
    He probably has thoughts on this
    that we wouldn't understand.
[07:45] Melfina
    Hello there, My Lord!
[07:55] Kelvin
    What, is that chocolate?
[07:57] Kelvin
    Don't just shove things in my mouth, Mel!
[08:00] Melfina
    So?
[08:02] Melfina
    Isn't there something you'd like to ask me?
[08:05] Kelvin
    You can tell, huh?
[08:07] Melfina
    I'm your wife, after all.
[08:11] Kelvin
    Why do you need heroes, anyway?
[08:14] Melfina
    A good question.
[08:16] Melfina
    Before I tell you about heroes, though,
[08:18] Melfina
    I need to explain more about the Demon King.
[08:22] Kelvin
    The Demon King? Sera's dad?
[08:26] Melfina
    Of course, this applies
    to Gustav, as well, but...
[08:29] Melfina
    In this world, the appearance
    of a Demon King is something
[08:32] Melfina
    that occurs in regular cycles,
    and can't be prevented.
[08:35] Melfina
    Even I can't tell you what form
    the next Demon King will take.
[08:40] Melfina
    But all Demon Kings have possessed
    a special skill: Papiyas.
[08:46] Melfina
    It has two effects.
[08:48] Melfina
    The first is that it multiplies
    the evil within them
[08:51] Melfina
    to the point that it
    warps their personality.
[08:54] Melfina
    And the second is that
    it nullifies all damage.
[08:59] Melfina
    It's what you'd call permanent God Mode.
[09:02] Kelvin
    How the heck are you supposed
    to defeat them, then?
[09:05] Melfina
    That's where the heroes, people
    from another world, come in.
[09:10] Melfina
    Their power is of a fundamentally different
    nature than any in this world,
[09:14] Melfina
    and can neutralize a Demon
    King's invincibility.
[09:18] Kelvin
    That means my attacks
    would work on him, too.
[09:22] Kelvin
    But then there's no need
    to call them heroes, is there?
[09:25] Melfina
    That's true, but you need to give
    things the proper appearance.
[09:30] Kelvin
    I see.
[09:33] Kelvin
    I don't have any memories of my old self.
[09:35] Kelvin
    That's why I was able to so quickly
    acclimate to this world.
[09:40] Kelvin
    But they're not like me.
[09:43] Kelvin
    Is it okay to do what you did to them,
[09:45] Kelvin
    and just summon them from their own
    world and force them to be heroes?
[09:52] Melfina
    If you're uncertain about summoning
    someone from another world,
[09:58] Melfina
    then I recommend a reincarnation summon.
[10:01] Kelvin
    A reincarnation summon?
[10:04] Melfina
    There are two ways to summon
    someone from another world.
[10:07] Melfina
    Teleport them here, or reincarnate them.
[10:10] Kelvin
    How are they different?
[10:12] Melfina
    The quickest way to explain it is that
    teleportation brings a living person here.
[10:19] Melfina
    Whereas reincarnation summons
    the soul of a dead person
[10:24] Melfina
    and rebuilds their body from scratch.
[10:26] Kelvin
    I see.
[10:27] Kelvin
    So the heroes were teleported,
    and I was reincarnated?
SIGN    Teleportation!
SIGN    Teleportation Summoning and Reincarnation Summoning
[10:31] Melfina
    Yes.
[10:32] Melfina
    Reincarnation takes a massive amount of MP,
[10:36] Melfina
    so it's not good when you need to summon
    multiple people, like the Deramis heroes.
SIGN    Reincarnation!
[10:41] Melfina
    It can, however, summon a single,
    powerful person like you.
[10:45] Melfina
    Another thing to know is
    that during reincarnation,
[10:48] Melfina
    you can select any skills
    and perks you want.
[10:51] Melfina
    And since your body is rebuilt,
    your appearance and age can be changed, too.
[10:56] Kelvin
    So you're telling me I didn't look like...
[10:59] Melfina
    Don't worry.
[11:01] Melfina
    You kept your appearance and age.
[11:04] Melfina
    Changing them would require skill points.
[11:08] Kelvin
    O-Oh...
[11:10] Kelvin
    Yeah, if it took skill points,
    I'm sure I wouldn't have.
[11:14] Melfina
    I believe that you'd have fewer
    objections to a reincarnation summon.
[11:18] Melfina
    What do you think?
[11:21] Kelvin
    Can I choose the soul that's reincarnated?
[11:24] Melfina
    No, it's totally random.
[11:27] Melfina
    There's no need to hurry.
[11:30] Melfina
    But you only get one chance.
[11:33] Melfina
    There's no time limit on it, though,
    so spend as much time thinking as you like.
[11:43] Kelvin
    When did she...?
[11:51] Kelvin
    Listen, everyone.
[11:55] Melfina
    You seemed so uncertain.
[11:57] Melfina
    I'm shocked you made your decision so soon.
[12:02] Kelvin
    I'm not totally certain about it yet,
    but I talked about it with everyone.
[12:07] Kelvin
    I still have to keep the
    promise I made to Gerard.
[12:09] Kelvin
    And we can never have too
    many strong party members.
[12:12] Kelvin
    If I can't handle a hero, then I'm not strong
    enough to do anything important anyway.
[12:17] Gerard
    Indeed. That's our king for you.
[12:20] Sera
    I'll be happy to have more
    people to spar with.
[12:23] Efil
    Elly, Luca, I told you how
    Master is a summoner, right?
[12:28] Efil
    The summoning he's about to
    do is a very special one.
[12:32] Efil
    Please be on your best behavior.
[12:34] Elly
    Of course, Head Maid.
[12:37] Luca
    Okay!
[12:39] Kelvin
    We can let the person I reincarnate
    decide how they want to live, right?
[12:43] Melfina
    Yes, of course.
[12:46] Melfina
    Now, begin.
[12:48] Kelvin
    Okay, first...
[12:50] Kelvin
    Cancel summoning!
[12:58] Efil
    Master, have this recovery potion.
[13:01] Kelvin
    Right.
[13:06] Kelvin
    Now my MP's restored to full.
[13:09] Kelvin
    Mel, do it.
[13:11] Melfina
    I will now begin the reincarnation summoning,
[13:14] Melfina
    in accordance with the
    right given by my Grace.
[13:16] Melfina
    Please decide the number
    of people you'll summon,
[13:18] Melfina
    as well as the amount of magic you'll use.
[13:20] Kelvin
    Use all but one of my MP,
    and summon a single person.
[13:26] Kelvin
    If I'm going to do this,
    I want a strong hero!
[13:29] Melfina
    Preparations are complete.
[13:31] Melfina
    Beginning the reincarnation!
SIGN    Black Summoner
SIGN    Black Summoner
[14:02] Kelvin
    It's taking time.
[14:04] Melfina
    They seem uncertain what skills to pick.
[14:07] Kelvin
    That's a good point!
[14:09] Kelvin
    It'll probably take a long time, then.
[14:11] Kelvin
    I could spend at least a full day on it.
[14:13] Melfina
    No, time flows differently between
    here and there, so it won't...
[14:18] Kelvin
    What's wrong?
[14:19] Melfina
    They've made their choice!
[14:21] Melfina
    It seems they chose not to change
    their age or appearance.
[14:25] Melfina
    And...
[14:26] Kelvin
    And?
[14:27] Melfina
    Never mind. It'll be faster for you
    to meet them yourself!
[14:52] Kelvin
    A child?
[15:01] Rion
    Where am I?
[15:02] Kelvin
    I suppose I should start by saying hello.
[15:06] Kelvin
    My name's Kelvin. I'm an adventurer.
[15:10] Rion
    An adventurer?
[15:14] Rion
    Hello! My name is Rio Saeki!
[15:20] Kelvin
    Rio?
[15:21] Rion
    The angel told me I was coming
    to another world! Is that true?
[15:27] Kelvin
    The angel?
[15:28] Melfina
    The servant of mine that I left in charge.
[15:36] Kelvin
    I'm the one who caused
    you to be reincarnated.
[15:40] Kelvin
    First, I need to apologize for
    reincarnating you for our own reasons—
[15:44] Rion
    You're the one who reincarnated me, then?
[15:47] Kelvin
    Yeah, that's right...
[15:50] Rion
    Thank you...
[15:53] Rion
    Thank you!
[15:55] Kelvin
    Don't cry! I'm sorry!
[15:58] Kelvin
    What is this?
[16:00] Gerard
    My King, do you have some kind of skill
    that makes girls cry when you meet them?
[16:06] Kelvin
    I don't think so...?
[16:09] Kelvin
    Huh? Rio?
[16:14] Melfina
    The reincarnation appears
    to have exhausted her.
[16:17] Kelvin
    She's still a kid!
[16:20] Kelvin
    You're sure she's the hero?
[16:22] Melfina
    Don't worry.
[16:24] Melfina
    She's the best summon possible.
    You used all your MP on her!
[16:28] Kelvin
    I see...
[16:30] Kelvin
    Huh?
[16:34] Efil
    Master!
[16:36] Melfina
    It looks like the summoning
    made him use up all his magic!
[16:40] Efil
    Master!
[16:56] Rion
    That's right... I reincarnated, didn't I?
SIGN    The Forest of Time and the Secret Kingdom
[17:47] Rion
    Wow! I can't believe it!
[17:49] Rion
    I'm... I'm running!
[17:57] Rion
    The smell of the grass...
[18:06] Kelvin
    Pretty, aren't they?
[18:09] Rion
    Kelvin!
[18:12] Kelvin
    I, too, was surprised when
    I came to this world.
[18:15] Kelvin
    I don't have my old memories, though.
[18:21] Rion
    You were reincarnated, too?
[18:23] Kelvin
    Yeah. From what I heard,
[18:26] Kelvin
    I died due to a god's mistake.
[18:32] Kelvin
    I was lucky enough to reincarnate,
    but I used my memories to enhance my skills.
[18:38] Rion
    Wow, you can do that?
[18:41] Kelvin
    When I reincarnated in this world,
    I didn't know what to do, at first.
[18:46] Kelvin
    But strangely, the thing I
    felt most was excitement.
[18:50] Kelvin
    I only made it this far with a
    lot of people's help, though.
[18:54] Rion
    Wow!
[18:55] Kelvin
    I made good friends, too.
[18:59] Kelvin
    I kept fighting and fighting,
[19:01] Kelvin
    and eventually I ended up the
    top Rank A adventurer in Parth!
[19:07] Rion
    Wow! Wow!
[19:09] Rion
    I'm really in another world, aren't I?
[19:13] Kelvin
    You have your old memories,
    unlike me, right?
[19:17] Kelvin
    I brought you here mostly to satisfy my ego.
[19:20] Kelvin
    But if you don't want to be here,
    I'm not going to force you—
[19:23] Rion
    Of course I want to be here!
[19:26] Rion
    I spent my whole life really sick.
[19:30] Rion
    I couldn't even go outside,
    let alone to school.
[19:34] Rion
    The only things I had to enjoy
    were adventure novels.
[19:38] Rion
    I could only see the outside
    world through a windowpane.
[19:42] Rion
    So they were the only
    thing keeping me going.
[19:47] Rion
    So when I died, I wondered what
    the point of my life even was.
[19:54] Rion
    But...
[19:55] Rion
    Thanks to you, I can live again!
[19:59] Rion
    And thanks to my healthy body,
    I can stand up like this,
[20:03] Rion
    run, and even go on adventures!
[20:05] Rion
    So please, let me join your party!
[20:10] Kelvin
    Personally, that'd help a lot,
    but don't you need to think about it more?
[20:15] Rion
    No, this is what I want to do!
[20:17] Rion
    I'm so grateful to you,
    and I want to pay you back!
[20:23] Kelvin
    I see.
[20:24] Rion
    Yeah!
[20:28] Kelvin
    Hey, they say that black
    hair is rare around here.
[20:33] Rion
    It is?
[20:34] Kelvin
    So I'd like to tell everybody
    you're my half-sister,
[20:39] Kelvin
    who came after me from a different land.
[20:43] Rion
    I'm your sister?
[20:45] Kelvin
    Is that not okay?
[20:48] Rion
    No, I'm fine with it!
[20:52] Rion
    I was an only child, so it makes me so happy!
[20:54] Rion
    So, what should I call you?
[20:58] Rion
    Brother... Big Brother? Bro? Big Bro?
    Broseph? Elder Brother?
[21:05] Kelvin
    Hey, hey...
[21:07] Rion
    Brother Kel!
[21:08] Rion
    What do you think, Brother Kel?
[21:11] Kelvin
    I think it's fine.
[21:12] Kelvin
    It sounds like what a
    little sister would say.
[21:15] Kelvin
    But I do have one request.
[21:19] Rion
    What?
[21:21] Kelvin
    Your name's too close to a particularly
    distasteful man I know.
[21:25] Kelvin
    I'd like you to change it.
[21:27] Rion
    Really?
[21:32] Rion
    Then call me Rion!
[21:34] Kelvin
    That's not very different.
[21:36] Rion
    I used to fantasize that I was
    in the world of my stories...
[21:41] Rion
    And I always used the name Rion.
[21:45] Rion
    I think it's what would feel best.
[21:49] Kelvin
    I see.
