**[00:19] Earnest**
What are you doing?!
**[00:21] Earnest**
Remember the formations from our training!
**[00:26] Group**
Empress!
**[00:28] Clay**
Clay Platoon, follow me!
**[00:30] Kassim**
Kassim Platoon, get on the other side!
**[00:45] Clay**
Open formation!
**[00:50] Kassim**
She's wide open!
**[00:51] Kassim**
Take aim!
**[00:53] Kassim**
Now!
**[00:53] Kassim**
Fire!
**[00:56] Blade**
Keep it up!
**[00:57] Blade**
It's working just like we did in training!
**[00:59] Clay**
Now!
**[01:04] King**
I see now.
**[01:06] Earnest**
Initiate long-range attacks once you're
sure Clay Platoon has fallen back!
**[01:14] Siren**
So they're constantly
targeting her blind spot.
**[01:16] King**
Yep.
**[01:18] King**
A fine strategy that puts their
collective nature to good use.
**[01:23] King**
But there's one problem.
**[01:34] King**
Ordinary attacks won't inflict any
damage on a dragon sheathed in scales.
**[01:41] King**
Well? What now?

**[03:27] Claire**
Please bring anyone who's injured this way!
**[03:29] Claire**
I'll tend to their wounds!
**[03:38] King**
It seems like you're waiting for something.
**[03:41] King**
However, this battle's going
to come to an end before that.
**[03:46] Yessica**
Don't let it hit you!
**[03:48] Blade**
Okay, now's your chance!
**[04:00] Earnest**
Asmodeus!
**[04:06] King**
That may have done some paltry damage,
**[04:10] King**
but it looks like your plan has failed.
**[04:12] Blade**
No, it's more than enough.
**[04:17] Blade**
Now she's lost awareness of her surroundings.
**[04:27] Siren**
A pitfall?
**[04:28] King**
I thought you were fighting fair and square.
**[04:31] Blade**
It'd be an unfair trap if it
had been set up beforehand,
**[04:34] Blade**
but that's not the case.
**[04:37] Blade**
He dug it out.
**[04:39] Blade**
After the battle had already begun.
**[04:42] King**
So you were stalling for time all along.
**[04:45] King**
That's not enough to beat her, though.
**[04:48] Blade**
I know that.
**[04:51] Blade**
Our real battle begins now.
**[04:58] Student**
Go!
**[05:00] Blade**
Forgive me, Cu.
**[05:04] Earnest**
Asmodeus!
**[05:06] Asmodeus**
As mighty as I may be...
**[05:08] Earnest**
Huh?
**[05:09] Asmodeus**
Using me repeatedly like this...
**[05:12] Earnest**
Don't be such a wimp!
**[05:18] Earnest**
Leonard, can you keep fighting?
**[05:20] Leonard**
Yes, my lord!
**[05:28] Earnest**
Leonard!
**[05:31] Leonard**
I've still got stamina to spare.
**[05:33] Leonard**
I haven't failed to run those ten kilometers
you asked of me every morning.
**[05:38] Earnest**
I said what now?
**[05:39] Leonard**
What?!
**[05:42] Clay**
She's about to take off!
**[05:45] Blade**
Earnest!
**[05:47] Asmodeus**
W-Wait!
**[05:48] Earnest**
I refuse!
**[05:53] Earnest**
Sophie!
**[05:55] Sophie**
Artificial Great Hero Power:
Gravity Manipulation.
**[06:06] Blade**
Now, Earnest!
**[06:09] Earnest**
Sheesh, you're working us to the bone...
**[06:15] Earnest**
I command thee in the
name of Earnest Flaming!
**[06:18] Earnest**
O sword! Demonstrate thy power!
**[06:21] Asmodeus**
No more... Pwease!
**[06:24] Earnest**
Shut your trap!
**[06:31] King**
Who knew we had such a
capable student at our school?
**[06:34] Blade**
It's not just her powers.
**[06:37] Blade**
Even in the advanced class, there aren't
many who can hone their fighting spirit.
**[06:41] Blade**
But...
**[06:42] Boy Student C**
Even us students in the lower classes...
**[06:45] Girl Student A**
Can serve as conduits...
**[06:47] Girl Student B**
To gather power from everyone!
**[06:49] Girl Student C**
We also...
**[06:50] Group**
Want to be friends with Cu!
**[06:55] Claire**
Please, Anna!
**[06:56] Leonard**
Grant strength to my lord!
**[06:58] Clay**
Earnest!
**[06:59] Kassim**
It's in your hands, Empress!
**[07:01] Yessica**
Get her good, Anna!
**[07:02] Sophie**
I leave the rest to you.
**[07:12] Earnest**
Go forth!
**[07:15] Blade**
Get a good look, Cu.
**[07:17] Blade**
This is what humans can do.
**[07:45] Blade**
Cu.
**[07:47] Cu**
I ended up losing.
**[07:50] Blade**
You sure did.
**[07:51] Cu**
I disappointed you, Parent.
**[07:54] Cu**
Weak children get abandoned, right?
**[07:57] Blade**
I wouldn't do that.
**[08:00] Blade**
Besides, you're wrong about one thing.
**[08:03] Blade**
It's not that you were weak.
**[08:07] Blade**
Humans were just stronger.
**[08:11] Blade**
Well? Will you admit it now?
**[08:14] Cu**
Aye.
**[08:15] Blade**
Does that mean you can be friends with them?
**[08:22] Cu**
I-I suppose I must, if you insist.
**[08:26] Cu**
I don't mind becoming friends with—
**[08:27] Blade**
Hey!
**[08:28] Blade**
You know that's not it!
**[08:32] Cu**
U-Um...
**[08:34] Cu**
P-Please... be...
**[08:38] Cu**
Be friends with me!
**[08:46] Group**
Of course!
**[08:54] Yessica**
Let's get along, Cu!
**[08:55] Claire**
So cute!
**[08:58] Soldier**
Hey, be careful!
**[09:03] Siren**
I see you're in high spirits, Gil.
**[09:06] Siren**
What are you scheming this time?
**[09:08] King**
I'm happy to see my students grow.
**[09:11] King**
Since they can harness their fighting
spirit and spiritual energy now,
**[09:15] King**
I've arranged a training method
that's even more hands-on.
**[09:19] Siren**
By which you mean that device?
**[09:21] King**
Indeed.
**[09:22] King**
It's called virtual reality, made using a
once-lost branch of magic called science.
**[09:30] King**
I eagerly await its completion!
**[09:41] Claire**
Cu, Cu.
**[09:43] Claire**
Okay, open wide.
**[09:45] Cu**
I-I can feed myself!
**[09:48] Yessica**
In that case, are you
going to sit by yourself?
**[09:53] Claire**
Here, open wide!
**[09:56] Cu**
Just this once.
**[10:00] Claire**
So cute!
**[10:03] Claire**
Now, c'mere!
**[10:04] Claire**
Sit here!
**[10:05] Claire**
Right here!
**[10:06] Cu**
You sure are demanding!
**[10:11] Claire**
So cute! So adorable!
**[10:13] Claire**
Cuddle, cuddle!
**[10:15] Cu**
Claire, stop it!
**[10:18] Blade**
Hey, Earnest...
**[10:21] Blade**
Is there something different about you?
**[10:23] Earnest**
Huh?
**[10:25] Group**
Hey!
**[10:26] Clay**
Blade!
**[10:27] Kassim**
C'mon, man!
**[10:30] Yessica**
You can't say that, Blade!
**[10:32] Sophie**
You truly are despicable.
**[10:35] Claire**
Um... You really haven't changed.
**[10:39] Blade**
No, you have!
**[10:40] Blade**
You've totally changed!
**[10:42] Leonard**
Pay him no mind, my lord.
**[10:45] Leonard**
Your rotund self is just as lovely!
**[10:47] Earnest**
Don't say it!
**[10:49] Blade**
Oh, yeah!
**[10:50] Blade**
It was your weight!
**[10:51] Blade**
You got fat!
**[10:53] Blade**
I *thought* you'd gotten bigger!
**[10:56] Earnest**
I-I get it!
**[10:58] Earnest**
Do you really need to rub it in?!
**[11:00] Earnest**
Blade, you moron!
**[11:05] Sophie**
Guilty.
**[11:07] Blade**
Eh?
**[11:08] Blade**
I was in the wrong?
**[11:10] Yessica**
I wouldn't be surprised
if you two were through!
**[11:13] Blade**
Through?
**[11:18] Cu**
There, there, Parent.
**[11:22] Yessica**
Blade's really taking it hard.
**[11:24] Claire**
Well, it's been three days since
Anna locked herself in her room.
**[11:30] Blade**
Who knew that being "through"
meant I couldn't see her anymore?
**[11:34] Sophie**
That's not it.
**[11:35] Blade**
Huh?
**[11:36] Blade**
So what does "through" mean?
**[11:39] Yessica**
It's like, "We can't be friends anymore!
We're through being friends!"
**[11:44] Blade**
What?!
**[11:45] Blade**
No! I don't want that at all!
**[11:48] Blade**
I wanna stay friends with Earnest!
**[11:51] Blade**
Will she forgive me if I apologize?
**[11:54] Blade**
I'll go and say sorry to her!
**[11:55] Claire**
Wait!
**[11:57] Claire**
Blade, you don't know why
Anna's mad at you, right?
**[12:02] Claire**
You're only going to make her angrier!
**[12:06] Yessica**
Yep.
**[12:07] Yessica**
That's why we'll tag along as well.
**[12:10] Claire**
Yeah. I'm worried about how Anna's doing.
**[12:13] Claire**
And because we're friends, of course.
**[12:15] Cu**
Yeah!
**[12:18] Blade**
Thank you!
**[12:23] Yessica**
Are you free?
**[12:25] Yessica**
Blade's here to apologize
for what he said.
**[12:32] Yessica**
Anna, I'm opening the door.
**[12:46] Yessica**
Anna...
**[12:47] Yessica**
Are you crying?
**[12:49] Claire**
Is everything okay?
**[12:51] Claire**
Can we come in?
**[12:56] Cu**
Looks tasty!
**[12:59] Cu**
Let me have some, too!
**[13:01] Cu**
You've got so much!
**[13:01] Yessica**
Hey, what?!
**[13:03] Cu**
You can spare some of it!
**[13:03] Yessica**
Cu, you can see like this?!
**[13:05] Cu**
Give it to me!
**[13:05] Claire**
Someone turn on the lights!
**[13:08] Earnest**
D-Don't look!
**[13:10] Earnest**
Please, don't look at me!
**[13:14] Earnest**
These desserts are so tasty!
**[13:16] Earnest**
These desserts...
**[13:17] Blade**
So that's the culprit.
**[13:19] Earnest**
Ever since our fight against Cu...
**[13:22] Earnest**
I started feeling hungry all the time...
**[13:25] Earnest**
Besides...
**[13:27] Earnest**
I never realized before that all
of this delicious food existed!
**[13:32] Blade**
Hey, Earnest...
**[13:33] Blade**
Let me ask you one thing.
**[13:35] Blade**
Are you and I through as friends?
**[13:38] Earnest**
N-No way!
**[13:39] Earnest**
I didn't... want you to see me like this.
**[13:43] Earnest**
So I couldn't bear to talk with you...
**[13:46] Blade**
I see!
**[13:48] Blade**
So we aren't through, then!
**[13:50] Blade**
What a relief.
**[13:51] Blade**
Well, I'm leaving.
**[13:52] Yessica**
Hold it right there!
**[13:53] Claire**
You can't be serious, Blade!
**[13:55] Yessica**
If you leave now, Anna's
gonna end up a lost cause!
**[13:58] Claire**
Something nice!
**[14:00] Claire**
You need to say something nice, or else!
**[14:03] Blade**
Something nice?
**[14:07] Blade**
Enjoying those desserts?
**[14:09] Blade**
Good for you.
**[14:11] Yessica**
Blade!
**[14:12] Claire**
You're twisting the knife!
**[14:14] Blade**
Huh?!
**[14:15] Blade**
What should I say, then?
**[14:17] Yessica**
Leonard, show him how it's done!
**[14:19] Leonard**
Yes!
**[14:21] Leonard**
My lord, I remain tirelessly devoted to you.
**[14:25] Leonard**
No matter how overweight you may be.
**[14:28] Earnest**
Who are you calling overweight?!
**[14:31] Blade**
Earnest.
**[14:34] Blade**
This isn't something you
can deal with alone, is it?
**[14:38] Blade**
If not, then turn to us.
**[14:40] Blade**
All of us will help you out!
**[14:42] Blade**
What you need is training!
**[14:44] Blade**
We're friends, aren't we?
**[14:54] Yessica**
Okay! I'll do it!
**[14:57] Blade**
Hey, stop eating!
**[15:08] Blade**
Should we go a little slower?
**[15:11] Earnest**
If it doesn't hurt...
**[15:14] Earnest**
I won't be burning calories!
**[15:18] Earnest**
Step, step, step.
**[15:19] Blade**
19!
**[15:19] Cu**
You're doing great!
**[15:20] Blade**
20!
**[15:20] Cu**
I'm here to cheer you on as your friend!
**[15:22] Blade**
21!
**[15:24] Earnest**
Step, step, step.
**[15:24] Blade**
Okay! Keep it up, Earnest!
**[15:26] Blade**
There! Push harder!
**[15:27] Blade**
Okay, good!
**[15:29] Earnest**
Step, step, step.
**[15:36] Claire**
I had the kitchen prepare a
special meal, just for you.
**[15:39] Earnest**
Huh? That's all?
**[15:41] Claire**
Yes.
**[15:43] Yessica**
You need to cut your calorie intake as well.
**[15:46] Earnest**
I'm so hungry...
**[15:52] Cu**
The water feels so good!
**[16:07] Earnest**
It's so hot!
**[16:23] Earnest**
How come it hasn't gone down?!
**[16:26] Yessica**
Yikes, that ain't good.
**[16:28] Claire**
This won't do.
**[16:29] Sophie**
It almost feels like it's gone up.
**[16:32] Earnest**
What's going on?!
***SIGN*** THUD
**[16:35] Blade**
Hey!
**[16:38] Blade**
How's it look?
**[16:38] Earnest**
Hey! Don't peek!
**[16:45] Clay**
You're a real hero.
**[16:47] Blade**
N-No!
**[16:48] Blade**
Not at all!
**[16:49] Blade**
I'm definitely not a hero!
**[16:51] Blade**
I'm just an ordinary guy!
**[16:53] Group**
What?
**[16:55] Yessica**
You know, Anna, you should have
put on some muscle from training.
**[16:59] Yessica**
I'm sure you'll slim down in no time.
**[17:00] Earnest**
You think?
**[17:02] Claire**
Yeah.
**[17:03] Claire**
If only there were an easier way
to raise your metabolic rate.
**[17:11] Earnest**
I wanted to try something a
little more drastic today.
**[17:14] Blade**
Something drastic?
**[17:17] Earnest**
Yeah.
**[17:20] Earnest**
This is Testing Ground No. 2, and it's
protected by a powerful magic barrier,
**[17:24] Earnest**
so there shouldn't be any casualties,
even if this goes wrong.
**[17:28] Earnest**
Um...
**[17:29] Earnest**
If I can pull this off and lose weight...
**[17:33] Earnest**
can you praise me for it?
**[17:35] Blade**
Huh? Sure.
**[17:43] Earnest**
I'm counting on you if
anything happens, Blade.
**[17:45] Blade**
S-Sure.
**[17:48] Earnest**
I command thee in the
name of Earnest Flaming!
**[17:52] Earnest**
O sword! Consume my flesh!
**[17:54] Earnest**
Use it as thy power!
**[18:09] Blade**
That's...
**[18:21] Cu**
This is where you two were!
**[18:23] Yessica**
Wait, what *is* that thing?!
**[18:26] Sophie**
Is that Earnest?
**[18:28] Claire**
What? Anna?!
**[18:29] Blade**
Stay calm. Have faith in her.
**[18:32] Claire**
Still!
**[18:41] Earnest**
Looks like it worked.
**[18:43] Earnest**
But man, that was scorching hot.
**[18:45] Earnest**
I thought I was gonna die.
**[18:47] Asmodeus**
Verily.
**[18:48] Asmodeus**
Thy flesh hath now perished.
**[18:52] Yessica**
Huh? What's that voice?
**[18:54] Blade**
Asmodeus, probably.
**[18:56] Asmodeus**
Hold thy head high with pride.
**[18:58] Asmodeus**
'Tis not since thy first ancestor
that one hath attained this form.
**[19:04] Cu**
What happened to Earnest's body?
**[19:07] Asmodeus**
Succumbed flesh doth become
flame by mine hand.
**[19:12] Asmodeus**
An undying body,
wholly immune to attacks physical!
**[19:18] Asmodeus**
Come!
**[19:19] Asmodeus**
Where is thy nemesis, worthy of this form?
**[19:23] Asmodeus**
Show me thy foe to set ablaze!
**[19:26] Earnest**
My foe to set ablaze...
**[19:28] Earnest**
That would be my body fat!
**[19:30] Asmodeus**
Pardon?
**[19:32] Earnest**
Because I did this all for my diet!
**[19:35] Asmodeus**
Diet?
**[19:37] Earnest**
I'm burning so much energy!
**[19:39] Earnest**
It must use up a ton many calories!
**[19:42] Asmodeus**
I-Indeed.
**[19:44] Asmodeus**
The drawback to this demon form lies
with the enormous energy it consumes.
**[19:48] Asmodeus**
Maintaining this form requires
one million calories every hour...
**[19:52] Earnest**
One million!
**[19:55] Earnest**
Who's got time to slowly
jog off those pounds?!
**[19:58] Earnest**
Just burn it all away in a flash!
**[20:01] Earnest**
Yes! Yes!
**[20:05] Blade**
Hey, are you all right?
**[20:08] Earnest**
I think I'm at my limit...
***SIGN*** Grooooowl
**[20:13] Earnest**
I'm so hungry now...
**[20:15] Blade**
What?!
**[20:19] Earnest**
I'm... hungry!
**[20:23] Yessica**
She's gone into some kind of beast mode?!
**[20:26] Sophie**
She grew a tail.
**[20:28] Claire**
Anna! Don't abandon your humanity!
**[20:32] Earnest**
Claire...
**[20:34] Claire**
Thank goodness!
**[20:34] Claire**
She said my name!
**[20:36] Earnest**
Claire...
**[20:37] Earnest**
Looks tasty!
**[20:45] Blade**
Dragon Series, Third Sword.
**[20:49] Blade**
Dragon Banish!
**[20:51] Blade**
Wind pressure-only version.
**[21:20] Earnest**
Blade, I...
**[21:24] Blade**
You did great.
**[21:36] Earnest**
Don't look!
**[21:38] Earnest**
Don't look at me!
**[21:40] Blade**
So you're eating again.
**[21:43] Earnest**
I-It's fine, y'see!
**[21:45] Earnest**
If I turn into a flame demon,
I can lose it again in no time! Y'see?!
**[21:49] Claire**
Y'see?
**[21:50] Yessica**
That's an excuse for losers.
**[21:52] Earnest**
I said it's fine!
**[21:53] Earnest**
It's fine, okay?!
**[21:55] Earnest**
It's fine!
**[21:58] Cu**
That's right!
**[21:59] Cu**
Dieting is the best!
