**[00:02] Alvin**
Monsters threaten human life.
**[00:05] Alvin**
They are opposed by brave adventurers!
**[00:10] Alvin**
And I, Alvin, am one of them!
**[00:15] Alvin**
Now in a party with Carla, the healer,
**[00:18] Alvin**
my journey continues!
***SIGN*** Don't Hurt Me,

***SIGN*** In the second half of this episode, we enter the "What Story Is This?" arc...
**[01:53] Alvin**
Excuse me!
**[01:55] Receptionist**
Hello! Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild!
**[01:59] Receptionist**
Well, well.
**[02:00] Receptionist**
Good to see you, Alvin-san.
**[02:02] Alvin**
It's been a while.
**[02:04] Receptionist**
You're looking well, too, Carla-san.
**[02:09] Alvin**
C'mon, say hello like a functional person!
**[02:12] Carla**
Can you please not talk
to me as if we're frie—
**[02:14] Alvin**
Okay! That's quite enough!
**[02:16] Alvin**
Apologies for my little goblin here.
**[02:18] Receptionist**
N-Not at all.
**[02:20] Receptionist**
I'm glad to see her as energetic as ever.
**[02:22] Receptionist**
Now, how can I help you today?
**[02:25] Alvin**
I'm here to review my adventurer rank.
**[02:29] Receptionist**
Review your rank?
**[02:32] Carla**
You're not thinking "he doesn't really think
it's gone up? LOL-in-parentheses!" are you?
**[02:36] Carla**
That's so rude!
**[02:37] Alvin**
That's what *you're* thinking!
**[02:39] Carla**
Actually, I was thinking "I really hope his
rank hasn't gone down! LOL-in-parentheses."
**[02:43] Carla**
It's very different!
**[02:44] Alvin**
Well, keep it to yourself!
**[02:46] Receptionist**
In this case, please apply your
blood seal to this rank testing sheet.
**[02:51] Receptionist**
The magic circle drawn on it will offer
you a rank from one star to five stars
**[02:55] Receptionist**
based on your accomplishments
and experiences.
**[02:58] Carla**
A blood seal?
**[03:00] Carla**
Are you sure about that, Alvin-san?
**[03:02] Alvin**
It's just a little prick on the fingertip.
**[03:05] Alvin**
What are you so worried about?
**[03:07] Carla**
I thought you might die from blood loss...
**[03:09] Alvin**
Like hell!
**[03:11] Carla**
You need a little help with that?
**[03:13] Alvin**
You mean the healing part, right?
**[03:15] Carla**
Come to think of it, Alvin-san.
What is your current ranking?
**[03:19] Carla**
Oh, sorry. I'm sure it's one star—
**[03:22] Alvin**
Zero.
**[03:23] Alvin**
Last time, the magic circle
didn't react at all.
**[03:26] Alvin**
Which means my rank is zero stars.
**[03:29] Alvin**
Funny, isn't it?
**[03:31] Carla**
I'm sorry.
**[03:32] Carla**
It didn't occur to me that your rank
might not be able to get any lower.
**[03:37] Alvin**
By the way, what's your rank, Carla?
**[03:40] Carla**
Well... three stars, actually.
**[03:43] Alvin**
I see.
**[03:46] Carla**
But I'm sure that with your stars, there were
just too many dark clouds to see them...
**[03:50] Carla**
Because they're stars... get it?
**[03:53] Alvin**
"Too many dark clouds" is more
like the story of my life.
**[03:57] Receptionist**
*Really not funny...*
**[03:57] Alvin**
Funny, right?
**[03:59] Receptionist**
I'm sure it was just a
defective testing sheet.
**[04:03] Carla**
That's it!
**[04:04] Carla**
I'm sure you just got
unlucky with the device!
**[04:07] Alvin**
Five times in a row?
**[04:08] Carla**
Y-Yes, five defective sheets!
**[04:11] Carla**
Poor Alvin-san! No luck at all!
**[04:14] Carla**
Or "no rank at all," I guess I should say...
**[04:17] Carla**
You know?
**[04:24] Carla**
It's just a joke, Alvin-san!
**[04:26] Carla**
I was trying to lighten the mood!
**[04:28] Receptionist**
Calm down!
**[04:29] Receptionist**
Throwing in more blood
won't make a difference,
**[04:31] Receptionist**
so please don't do anything
we'll both regret!
**[04:33] Carla**
I'm sure you'll get stars this time,
**[04:35] Carla**
even without offering up your worthless arm!
**[04:37] Carla**
You've survived encounters
with all kinds of monsters.
**[04:40] Carla**
The golem, the cyclops, the
necromancer... even the Medusa!
**[04:44] Receptionist**
Really?
**[04:46] Receptionist**
You survived battles with all
of those savage monsters?
**[04:49] Alvin**
Well... that technically
describes it, but...
**[04:52] Receptionist**
I'm sure you'll get one star—
no, you could even get four!
**[04:57] Alvin**
You think?
**[04:58] Carla**
Isn't that great?
**[04:59] Carla**
You'll be propelled into the
ranks of the adventuring elite!
**[05:02] Alvin**
Well, well... We don't know
that for sure, just yet.
**[05:06] Alvin**
But it is true.
**[05:07] Alvin**
I have had experiences that
most adventurers haven't.
**[05:11] Alvin**
I think I've been doing pretty
good, relatively speaking!
**[05:14] Carla**
Can we skip past the small
talk and get to the testing?
**[05:18] Alvin**
C'mon, don't rush me!
**[05:20] Alvin**
Boy, might be about time
to figure out my title!
**[05:23] Alvin**
You know?
**[05:24] Alvin**
How many stars will I get?
**[05:29] Carla**
Look, Alvin-san! It's changing!
**[05:31] Carla**
You've got at least one star!
***SIGN*** (LOL)
**[05:39] Carla**
LOL-in-parentheses.
**[05:42] Receptionist**
I told you, it doesn't matter
how much blood you use!
**[05:51] Alvin**
You could have picked a
better way to stop me!
**[05:53] Brigan**
What's this?
**[05:54] Brigan**
I thought I heard a commotion
in here. If it isn't Alvin!
**[05:57] Brigan**
What a surprise...
**[05:59] Brigan**
That you're still alive, that is.
**[06:01] Brigan**
I figured you'd died to
some stray dog's bite.
**[06:04] Carla**
You know him?
**[06:06] Alvin**
Yeah... he's an adventurer, just like us.
**[06:10] Brigan**
Just like you?
**[06:12] Brigan**
Don't make me laugh!
**[06:13] Brigan**
A pathetic weenie like you doesn't
belong in the same category as me!
**[06:17] Carla**
What did he just say?
**[06:18] Alvin**
Let it go. It's just a cheap provocation.
**[06:21] Carla**
Did you just call Alvin-san a lousy, stinking,
slug weenie loser nothing old man?!
**[06:27] Carla**
How dare you?!
**[06:28] Alvin**
He didn't say most of that!
**[06:29] Carla**
Who in the world is this guy who
looks like an escaped felon?
**[06:32] Brigan**
Escaped felon?!
**[06:35] Brigan**
You're a funny little kid...
**[06:37] Brigan**
Mind telling me your name?
**[06:38] Carla**
Don't you know it's basic manners to give
your name before asking for someone else's?
**[06:44] Carla**
Oh, wait! You don't want to give your
name because you're on the run!
**[06:47] Brigan**
You little brat...
**[06:49] Alvin**
Calm down, Brigan!
**[06:50] Alvin**
She doesn't mean any harm!
She just doesn't have a filter, that's all!
**[06:55] Carla**
Brigan. I see.
**[06:55] Alvin**
I truly apologize for my little goblin!
**[06:57] Carla**
Is that your name?
**[06:59] Carla**
That's a very nice name.
**[07:01] Carla**
Yes, yes...
**[07:02] Alvin**
See? That's also how she feels!
**[07:04] Carla**
It sounds like "prison."
**[07:06] Carla**
Perfect for an escaped convict.
**[07:07] Alvin**
You didn't have to say that!
**[07:09] Brigan**
You lousy, little dark elf...
**[07:11] Brigan**
Give it a rest—
**[07:13] Brigan**
A dark elf, dressed as a healer...
**[07:16] Brigan**
The irritating behavior...
**[07:18] Brigan**
You're not "Carla," are you?
**[07:21] Carla**
Indeed I am!
**[07:22] Carla**
Carla, also known as the goddess
who descended from the heavens!
**[07:26] Carla**
Smug face!
**[07:27] Alvin**
* I wish you could have descended*
* straight to the underworld...*
**[07:31] Brigan**
You two have formed a party, then, have you?
**[07:34] Alvin**
Well... there were circumstances.
**[07:40] Brigan**
The infamous disaster
land mine healer Carla,
**[07:44] Brigan**
and "the walking load" Alvin,
in a party together?
**[07:49] Brigan**
This is too priceless!
**[07:50] Carla**
H-How dare you?!
**[07:52] Carla**
Did you hear what he said to us, Alvin-san?
**[07:55] Carla**
Doesn't it frustrate you?
**[07:57] Alvin**
But I can't exactly say he's wrong...
**[08:00] Carla**
He called me the "disaster land mine healer"!
**[08:03] Carla**
Doesn't it frustrate you?
**[08:04] Alvin**
Oh, that part? Not at all.
**[08:07] Carla**
It frustrates me.
**[08:09] Carla**
To hear him call you "the walking load"...
**[08:12] Alvin**
Carla...
**[08:13] Carla**
You don't just walk! You talk, too!
**[08:16] Alvin**
Speaking of, I could do with
a lot less talking from you!
**[08:18] Brigan**
C'mon, that was a compliment.
**[08:20] Brigan**
A pain in the ass elf and
a human ball and chain.
**[08:22] Brigan**
You're a perfect match!
**[08:25] Carla**
A p-perfect match?
**[08:27] Carla**
Gosh, I wouldn't say that...
**[08:29] Carla**
Right?
**[08:29] Alvin**
Pure slander.
**[08:31] Carla**
Why don't we call ourselves "Team Exile"?
**[08:34] Alvin**
I hate that too much!
**[08:35] Alvin**
And why are you enjoying this?!
**[08:37] Brigan**
Exile! I love it!
**[08:40] Brigan**
You've got good taste!
**[08:42] Carla**
Right? Right?
**[08:44] Carla**
Though, Brigan-san,
you deserve the title "Ex-Con."
**[08:50] Brigan**
You little brat!
**[08:55] Carla**
H-He's mad for no reason!
**[08:57] Carla**
What a low boiling point!
**[08:58] Alvin**
*Not* for no reason!
**[09:00] Alvin**
I'm impressed he lasted as long as he did!
**[09:01] Brigan**
What do you take me for?
**[09:03] Brigan**
Guess I'll have to teach
you a painful lesson!
**[09:06] Brigan**
Hey, Alvin!
**[09:07] Brigan**
Let me at her—
**[09:08] Alvin**
But I refuse!
**[09:09] Alvin**
I'm not such a coward as to sit back and
take all the abuse you've dished out, either.
**[09:14] Carla**
Alvin-san...
**[09:16] Brigan**
What, you wanna fight?
**[09:18] Brigan**
Sounds good to me!
**[09:19] Brigan**
Let's step outside!
**[09:21] Carla**
Wh-What will we do?
**[09:22] Alvin**
Accept the challenge.
**[09:24] Alvin**
I have my own form of pride!
**[09:26] Alvin**
But he's probably going
beat the shit out of me,
**[09:29] Alvin**
so could I get some healing afterwards?
**[09:31] Carla**
Sure thing!
**[09:33] Brigan**
Hey, what's wrong?
**[09:34] Brigan**
Are you coming or not, you filthy coward?
**[09:37] Alvin**
Shut up!
**[09:38] Alvin**
I'm on my way! Just you wait!
**[09:40] Brigan**
Don't run away!
**[09:41] Alvin**
Please. I've been waiting for this!
**[09:44] Carla**
You're open!
**[09:47] Alvin**
B-Brigan!
**[09:51] Alvin**
What did you do?!
**[09:53] Carla**
Well, he was wide open...
**[09:56] Carla**
I thought he was asking for it.
**[09:58] Alvin**
Are you an assassin now?!

**[10:04] Alvin**
Thank goodness! He's alive!
**[10:05] Brigan**
Wh-What just happened?
**[10:07] Alvin**
Well, actually... I'm sorry...
**[10:10] Alvin**
No, maybe we should treat them first?
**[10:12] Carla**
This is where I step in.
**[10:16] Alvin**
Why are you tying him up?!
**[10:18] Carla**
Got him in custody!
**[10:19] Alvin**
He's seriously not an escaped felon!
**[10:27] Alvin**
Is this the mansion in question?
**[10:30] Carla**
Yes.
**[10:31] Carla**
The mansion in which the evil spirit dwells.
**[10:35] Carla**
We have to exorcise it, right?
**[10:38] Alvin**
Yes...
**[10:39] Alvin**
We destroyed a table in
that fight with Brigan,
**[10:42] Alvin**
and made a lot of trouble for the Guild.
**[10:44] Alvin**
So this is our punishment.
**[10:46] Alvin**
It looks like an ordinary
old ruin at a glance,
**[10:48] Alvin**
but I detect a terrifying aura from it.
**[10:51] Carla**
I hear it's known as the
"Shocking Rocking Horror House!"
**[10:55] Alvin**
Suddenly, it sounds like an attraction.
**[10:58] Carla**
But the rumors say that anyone who
enters this mansion never comes out alive.
**[11:05] Carla**
It's believed that they're killed by
the evil spirit that dwells within.
**[11:09] Alvin**
There it is!
The classic horror house setup line!
**[11:13] Alvin**
It's always made up! Don't tell me you
actually believe, etcetera, etcetera.
**[11:16] Carla**
You mean you don't believe in it?
**[11:18] Alvin**
Is there anyone who actually
believes stories like that?
**[11:21] Carla**
*Ack*chyuwally...
**[11:23] Carla**
I invited a special guest
along to attest to just that.
**[11:27] Carla**
This person infiltrated
the mansion once before.
**[11:31] Alvin**
You can't do that! The setup is supposed
to be that no one leaves there alive!
**[11:34] Carla**
Show yourself!
**[11:36] Anna**
Oh, hello there!
**[11:37] Alvin**
Well, that's freaking haunted!
**[11:39] Carla**
This is Anna-san, a former thief
who infiltrated the mansion
**[11:44] Carla**
and was tragically killed
by the evil spirit there.
**[11:46] Carla**
Let's give her a hand!
**[11:47] Anna**
P-Please don't, Carla-chan!
**[11:49] Anna**
It's embarrassing!
**[11:50] Carla**
But I need to give you
a proper introduction.
**[11:52] Anna**
But if you say I was "tragically killed,"
it makes me sound like a bad thief!
**[11:56] Carla**
But you did die, so...
**[11:58] Anna**
It's not like that!
**[11:59] Anna**
That evil spirit was really, really tough!
***SIGN*** Pad it with small talk!
**[12:01] Alvin**
What the heck is he doing?
**[12:02] Alvin**
Wait, are you still here?!
**[12:04] Alvin**
Where have you been?
**[12:05] Kinoko**
Well, I was looking for Big Sis Carla's
crystal ball, and I got lost...
**[12:11] Alvin**
We wrapped up that nonsense
a while back, actually.
**[12:13] Kinoko**
What?
**[12:14] Carla**
Well, I'd rather not stand
outside talking forever.
**[12:16] Carla**
Let's go into the mansion
and discuss it in there.
**[12:19] Anna**
It is awfully cold today...
**[12:21] Carla**
The chill of the grave, right?
**[12:23] Alvin**
Wait, wait, wait!
**[12:25] Carla**
What?
**[12:26] Carla**
We were going to go into the mansion,
**[12:28] Carla**
roll some dice with subjects written on them,
**[12:30] Carla**
and have a nice talk based on
the outcome of the roll...
**[12:32] Anna**
Happy! Rappy! Exciting talk!
**[12:34] Alvin**
Just shut up!
**[12:36] Carla**
What, you want to be part
of our girls' talk?
**[12:38] Anna**
As a man in his thirties,
would you be able to contribute?
**[12:41] Alvin**
How did you know how old I—
**[12:43] Alvin**
But never mind that!
**[12:44] Alvin**
The mansion is dangerous, right?
**[12:46] Alvin**
Why are you trying to go
in like it's nothing?
**[12:48] Alvin**
We need to hear what she has to
say, figure out a plan, and—
**[12:51] Carla**
Oho? Don't tell me...
**[12:54] Anna**
Aw, no way!
**[12:56] Alvin**
What?
**[12:58] Alvin**
It's not like I'm afraid or—
**[12:59] Carla**
Oho!
**[13:01] Alvin**
Just say it outright!
**[13:02] Alvin**
And just so we're clear,
I'm not afraid at all!
**[13:05] Alvin**
I mean it!
**[13:06] Carla**
Don't be ashamed!
**[13:07] Carla**
Everyone has things they're afraid of.
**[13:09] Carla**
And evil spirits are like
a reminder of death!
**[13:12] Carla**
Death is a fear that all
living beings share!
**[13:16] Alvin**
I told you, I'm not scared!
**[13:18] Carla**
But here's a question: Da-dun!
**[13:21] Carla**
Who's the holy woman that evil spirits fear,
**[13:25] Carla**
with divine protection, a vulnerable gaze that
inflames the protective instincts of others,
**[13:29] Carla**
silver hair, dark skin,
and an altogether enchanting visage?
**[13:49] Carla**
Correct!
**[13:51] Alvin**
What in the world are you talking about?
**[13:53] Carla**
Well, we have our plan to
deal with the evil spirit.
**[13:56] Carla**
Let's go exorcise the thing!
**[13:58] Anna**
Yeah!
**[13:59] Alvin**
H-Hey!
**[14:01] Carla**
What's wrong!
**[14:03] Carla**
There is nothing to be afraid of.
**[14:05] Alvin**
*You're* the thing I'm afraid of!
**[14:08] Carla**
It's fine.
**[14:09] Carla**
You have me, and I have a divine protection.
**[14:12] Carla**
Besides, the evil spirit might
be willing to listen to reason.
**[14:17] Carla**
And even if it's not willing
to listen to reason,
**[14:20] Carla**
I can pound reason into it using
my iron fists of brotherly love!
**[14:24] Alvin**
How in the world do you get
"fists of brotherly love"?
**[14:32] Ryoko**
Welcome ho—
**[14:33] Carla**
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm an
absolutely worthless trash healer.
**[14:36] Carla**
I am truly grateful you would form
a party with one as worthless as I.
**[14:39] Carla**
At the same time, I am
extremely filled with guilt.
**[14:41] Alvin**
Crap! She's gone crazy from the fear,
and she's actually talking sense!
**[14:44] Carla**
I'm so obnoxious and worthless I should just
go home and live as a shut-in forever.
**[14:49] Alvin**
Hey. Don't talk like that!
**[14:51] Alvin**
It's okay. I'll forgive you for everything
that's happened between us.
**[14:54] Alvin**
So please, stay exactly as you are now!
**[14:58] Alvin**
I'm begging you!
***SIGN*** Sincere
**[15:01] Carla**
What a generous thing to say!
**[15:03] Carla**
The kindness to accept the
faults of anyone around you...
**[15:05] Carla**
You sound almost like...
**[15:07] Carla**
Like me!
**[15:08] Alvin**
Damn it! She's back!
**[15:10] Carla**
That's better.
**[15:12] Carla**
I didn't expect it to be that intense.
**[15:15] Alvin**
I agree.
**[15:17] Carla**
An aura of hostility so powerful,
it shakes even *me*...
**[15:21] Carla**
Clearly, this is not an enemy we can
deal with through normal means.
**[15:24] Carla**
But...
**[15:27] Carla**
A new sacrifice has
resulted from my failure!
**[15:31] Alvin**
This is pretty tough.
**[15:34] Alvin**
But can't you use a resurrection
spell on the evil spirit?
**[15:39] Carla**
You magic-ignorant bumpkins
are so troubling sometimes.
**[15:42] Carla**
Resurrection is an extremely
high-level spell.
**[15:45] Carla**
It's not something I can
simply use on command!
**[15:48] Carla**
Of course, I *can* use it...
**[15:50] Alvin**
You can?
**[15:51] Carla**
But I still have a long way to go.
**[15:54] Carla**
I can only resurrect someone who's
been dead three seconds or fewer.
**[15:58] Alvin**
Three seconds?
**[15:59] Alvin**
Well, I guess it's better
than not having it at all...
**[16:01] Carla**
However...
**[16:02] Carla**
the time it takes to cast
the resurrection spell...
**[16:06] Carla**
is... dun-dun-dun! Ten seconds!
**[16:08] Alvin**
You won't make it in time!
**[16:09] Carla**
But if I start thinking you might die,
I can start the incantation in advance.
**[16:13] Alvin**
So you might cast it before I die?
**[16:17] Alvin**
Well, never mind.
**[16:18] Alvin**
Let's just get out of here.
**[16:20] Carla**
Could you please wait just a minute?
**[16:22] Alvin**
What is it?
**[16:23] Carla**
That evil spirit said something, didn't it?
**[16:26] Alvin**
I do think it tried to say "welcome home."
**[16:28] Carla**
That's right.
**[16:29] Alvin**
What about it?
**[16:31] Carla**
It just seemed awfully presumptuous
of it. I mean, we'd just met!
**[16:35] Alvin**
Are you seriously...
**[16:37] Carla**
Plus, I'm supposed to be an
entity that evil spirits fear.
**[16:40] Carla**
So having that thing say "welcome home☆" as
it escorts me inside feels kind of insulting.
**[16:45] Alvin**
I don't think it was quite that friendly...
**[16:47] Carla**
This has never happened before.
**[16:49] Carla**
I've never had an evil spirit show
such a lack of respect before.
**[16:52] Carla**
I'm not the kind of girl who
can take this lying down!
**[16:55] Carla**
I'm going to put that evil spirit
in a catgirl maid outfit,
**[16:58] Carla**
and make it say "welcome home, mew☆!"
**[17:01] Alvin**
That doesn't seem like
much of a punishment...
**[17:04] Carla**
Don't worry.
**[17:05] Carla**
I won't be rough with it.
**[17:07] Carla**
I'm just going to put it
in a catgirl maid outfit.
**[17:10] Alvin**
I've forgotten why we came
here in the first place.
**[17:13] Carla**
Allow me tieshankao!
**[17:14] Alvin**
Do you have to open it like that?!
**[17:16] Carla**
Now, show yourself!
**[17:17] Carla**
I'll teach you proper manners for someone
you're meeting for the first time!
**[17:21] Alvin**
I don't want to hear that from someone
who doesn't know how to open a door...
**[17:28] Carla**
I-It's here, isn't it?!
**[17:29] Carla**
Y-You certainly humiliated me before!
**[17:33] Carla**
But this time, you won't
find it so easy-peasy!
**[17:36] Alvin**
Open your eyes! Don't point at me!
**[17:39] Alvin**
Carla!
**[17:40] Carla**
Wh-What now?!
**[17:41] Carla**
Are you trying to scare me?
**[17:42] Alvin**
Just look behind you!
**[17:43] Carla**
You can't scare me again!
**[17:45] Carla**
But if you shout out "wah" or something...
**[17:47] Ryoko**
Welcome home, mew!
**[17:50] Alvin**
That's pushing it!
**[17:51] Alvin**
But isn't that nice?
**[17:53] Alvin**
It looks like it's reasonable after all!
**[17:56] Carla**
It's completely wrong!
**[17:59] Carla**
Just completely wrong!
**[18:01] Carla**
It's obvious your heart's not in it!
**[18:04] Carla**
It's not just a matter of appearance!
It's a matter of dedication!
**[18:06] Carla**
Right?
**[18:07] Alvin**
The minute she realizes it's reasonable,
she starts walking all over it...
**[18:11] Alvin**
But that face!
**[18:13] Carla**
What people want from maids
these days is rejuvenation.
**[18:16] Alvin**
What's with the holy woman pose?
**[18:18] Carla**
A truly heartfelt desire to serve another
**[18:21] Carla**
is more rejuvenating than any healing spell.
**[18:24] Carla**
It is, indeed, the ultimate rejuvenation!
**[18:26] Carla**
But merely putting on a maid outfit
will not confer true rejuvenation!
**[18:31] Alvin**
There are some healers who can't
rejuvenate a damned thing, either.
**[18:34] Carla**
But...
**[18:36] Carla**
Seeking rejuvenation from an evil spirit
like you might be too high a bar...
**[18:45] Carla**
All right. I know what to do!
**[18:47] Carla**
Just this one time,
the rejuvenation specialist,
**[18:50] Carla**
"rejuvelist" for short...
**[18:52] Alvin**
That's hard to say!
**[18:54] Carla**
...will teach you the hidden
secrets of rejuvenation!
**[18:56] Ryoko**
For real?
**[18:57] Carla**
It's going to be hard, violent training.
**[19:00] Carla**
Do you still wish to pursue it?
**[19:02] Ryoko**
Please!
**[19:03] Alvin**
That was easy!

Right...
**[19:19] Alvin**
* Then she talked about*

**[19:21] Alvin**
*And then...*
**[19:23] Carla**
All done! Yay!
**[19:27] Alvin**
It doesn't look any different...
**[19:29] Alvin**
Actually, it's gotten more twisted!
**[19:31] Carla**
Now, do just as I advised you!
**[19:34] Alvin**
Advised her?
**[19:35] Alvin**
Did you do that?
**[19:36] Ryoko**
W... W...
**[19:40] Ryoko**
W-W-Welcome home...
**[19:43] Alvin**
This doesn't seem good!
**[19:48] both**
Mew!
**[19:49] Alvin**
No freakin' way!
**[19:51] Alvin**
Wait, wait!
**[19:52] Alvin**
Who the hell is that?
**[19:53] Carla**
Who is it? What's wrong with you?
**[19:56] Carla**
It's the evil spirit!
**[19:58] Carla**
She's been here the whole time!
**[20:00] Alvin**
Has not!
**[20:01] Alvin**
That's obviously a different life form!
***SIGN*** After
***SIGN*** Before
**[20:04] Carla**
Life form? You old silly!
**[20:06] Carla**
She's totally dead!
**[20:08] Alvin**
That's not the point!
**[20:10] Carla**
Well, I'm sure it's very surprising to you,
**[20:13] Carla**
and I'm sure you want to
shower me with praise...
**[20:15] Carla**
And I really appreciate
the round of applause...
**[20:18] Carla**
But please, let's turn it down,
and sit back down.
**[20:20] Alvin**
Nobody's giving you a standing ovation!
**[20:23] Carla**
Before I could pass on the
secrets of rejuvenation,
**[20:26] Carla**
I had to purify the heart of my successor!
**[20:29] Alvin**
Hang on a minute.
**[20:30] Alvin**
That means you couldn't
possibly pass on any secrets!
**[20:33] Alvin**
Because your own heart is pitch black!
**[20:36] Alvin**
There, I win.
**[20:37] Carla**
As a result, the evil spirit
was purified, inside and out.
**[20:42] Alvin**
Hey, don't just ignore me.
**[20:44] Carla**
Earlier, too, we weren't just talking.
**[20:47] Carla**
I was letting her vent all her
anger, stress, and worries.
**[20:51] Alvin**
Are you a counselor now?
**[20:52] Carla**
And I carefully plucked out the
seeds of her anger and resentment.
**[20:56] Alvin**
Do you have a per-episode
quota for that pose?
**[20:58] Carla**
Yes, it's almost like...
**[21:00] Carla**
the way the Grim Reaper plucks
out the life of a living being.
**[21:03] Carla**
Right?
**[21:04] Alvin**
Not a great choice of words.
**[21:05] Anna**
Hang on a minute!
**[21:07] Alvin**
Oh, you're back to life?
**[21:08] Alvin**
Actually, I guess you're still dead...
**[21:10] Anna**
Thank you for the help before.
**[21:12] Anna**
No, wait!
**[21:13] Anna**
She's pretty cute now that
she's been purified, but...
**[21:17] Anna**
Having two cute little ghosts
around is just redundant!
**[21:22] Alvin**
Is that all you have to say
to the being that killed you?
**[21:25] Mushroom**
Wait just a mushroom!
**[21:27] Mushroom**
There's only room for one cute mascot
on this team, and that's me!
**[21:30] Alvin**
No one actually thinks of you that way...
**[21:32] Carla**
Wait a minute!
**[21:33] Carla**
The cute mascot on this
team is obviously m—
**[21:34] Alvin**
I'm not letting you finish that one!
**[21:44] Carla**
The real cutie on this team is m—
**[21:44] Alvin**
I'm not letting you say it!

Isn't that great, Ryoko-chan?
**[23:27] Anna**
We've made our anime debut!
**[23:28] Ryoko**
We have, Anna-san!
**[23:29] Ryoko**
Especially since we don't appear
in the official publication!
**[23:32] Anna**
But becoming regulars as of
the next episode is like a dream!
**[23:35] Ryoko**
Let's do our best
to make the show exciting!
***SIGN*** "So, this is Part 2 of the "What Story Is This?" arc and I'm really
glad we found out a way for Anna and Ryoko to get involved
and also to fill in some time based on the fact that there's not
enough manga material available but there's also a reference
to that classic family anime in this episode that I think a lot
of people will get even if I don't explain it but it's been a chance
to think about how animators back then had to put so much care
into drawing each cel by hand instead of doing it digitally like
we do now which is pretty cool and that's the deal with episode 11."
***SIGN*** See you then!

Wait, there're only two more episodes!
