**[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.
**[21:51] Kelvin**
Welcome, Rion.
**[21:53] Kelvin**
To a fantasy world of clashing swords
and powerful sorcery.
**[21:58] Kelvin**
You and I are gonna be busy!
**[22:03] Rion**
Yeah!
