**[00:03] Annabelle**
Listen up! Y'all are insects
worth less than crap!
**[00:07] Annabelle**
You got that?!
**[00:08] All**
Yep.
**[00:09] Annabelle**
Don't "yep" me!
**[00:11] Annabelle**
Who am I, your school teacher? Hey!
**[00:14] Annabelle**
Watch this! Hey! Are you watching?!
**[00:15] Reiji**
Are they gonna be okay?

**[01:48] Annabelle**
The only responses I want to
hear from y'all are "yes" and "no."
**[01:51] Annabelle**
And end your sentences with "ma'am."
**[01:53] Mina**
Question.
**[01:54] Annabelle**
What is it?
**[01:56] Mina**
Ms. Annabelle, I don't think it's very
nice to call people insects or crap.
**[02:03] Annabelle**
Don't talk back to your superior officer!
**[02:05] Annabelle**
We'll start with ten laps around town!
**[02:08] All**
Huh?
**[02:10] Annabelle**
I'll be behind y'all.
**[02:12] Annabelle**
If I catch up to you,
I'll whack your butt with this!
**[02:15] Annabelle**
Got it?!
**[02:18] Vivi**
Getting hit hurts. Why would you do that?
**[02:23] Annabelle**
Doz, tell her.
**[02:25] Doz**
Yes, ma'am.
**[02:27] Dooz**
She does it so you insects will run fast!
**[02:29] Vivi**
What?!
**[02:31] Noela**
Woof.
**[02:35] Annabelle**
You! Who said you could run now?
**[02:37] Noela**
Woof?
**[02:38] Noela**
I'm running around town. You said so.
**[02:42] Annabelle**
First I'll give the signal,
then you start running.
**[02:45] Moz**
That's right. Maintain discipline.
**[02:48] Moz**
"Walk in step" is the signal.
**[02:51] Reiji**
The free-spirited Noela can't handle acting
as part of a group or maintaining discipline.

**[02:58] (Flashback) Vivi**
Reiji, could you make me a medicine
that will make me stronger?
**[03:03] (Flashback) Reiji**
It's not good to rely on
medicines to fix everything.
**[03:07] (Flashback) Vivi**
But there's no other way.
**[03:09] (Flashback) Annabelle**
Hey.
**[03:10] (Flashback) Annabelle**
I came to pick up today's potions,
since I was in the area.
**[03:15] (Flashback) Reiji**
Ms. Annabelle... Hey, I know!
**[03:19] (Flashback) Annabelle**
What?
**[03:29] Annabelle**
Pick up the pace!
**[03:32] Reiji**
Good luck, guys!
**[03:34] Mina**
Thank you.
**[03:36] Vivi**
Reiji, I'll do my best.
**[03:42] Noela**
Woof?
**[03:44] Moz**
Where are you goin'?
**[03:49] Annabelle**
Hey, you! Don't break ranks!
**[03:52] Reiji**
Noela, what is it?
**[03:53] Noela**
Woof.
**[03:55] Reiji**
Huh?
**[03:56] Noela**
Run with us.
**[03:58] Reiji**
Nah, I'm good. I don't want to get stronger.
**[04:03] Noela**
Just watching is boring. Run with us.
**[04:06] Reiji**
Huh?
**[04:08] Reiji**
But I was planning to take
it easy and have a nap!
**[04:12] Reiji**
Jeez...
**[04:16] Mina**
Mr. Reiji, you're running with us?
**[04:18] Reiji**
Yeah...
**[04:19] Vivi**
Reiji, let's do our best.
**[04:22] Reiji**
No, wait...
**[04:24] Annabelle**
Hey, you're the only one fallin' behind!
**[04:27] Reiji**
S-Sorry!
**[04:29] Annabelle**
Too slow!
**[04:38] Reiji**
Ow!
**[04:41] Annabelle**
Huh? But my boys like it when I hit them.
**[04:45] Reiji**
I'm not like those perverts!
**[04:49] Both**
Did you say something'?
**[04:50] Reiji**
No, nothing.
**[04:53] Reiji**
I want to go home.
**[05:00] Reiji**
It's finally over...
**[05:04] Annabelle**
It's not over yet! Get up!
**[05:06] Doz**
Push-ups and sit-ups! One thousand each!
**[05:09] Reiji**
What?!
**[05:11] Reiji**
No way, no way, no way, no way!
**[05:14] Vivi**
Reiji, where are you going?
**[05:17] Vivi**
We promised we'd get stronger together.
**[05:20] Reiji**
I never made that promise!
**[05:22] Reiji**
I'm not trying to become stoic and
powerful like some kind of Super S**yan!
**[05:27] Annabelle**
Hey, Insect B! What are you slackin' off for?!

**[05:38] Vivi**
I'm scared. Reiji keeps trying to run away.
**[05:42] Reiji**
Hey, she snitched on me!
**[05:45] Annabelle**
Who said you could leave the battlefield?!
**[05:48] Doz**
That's right! Fleein' from the
enemy earns you a hundred beatings!
**[05:50] Moz**
Nothin' beats the captain's beatings!
**[05:52] Reiji**
What a perv.
**[05:54] Both**
Did you say somethin'?!
**[05:55] Reiji**
Ma'am! This is an advanced
tactical retreat, ma'am!
**[06:00] Annabelle**
I'll be the judge of that.
**[06:03] Reiji**
But I'm on my way to develop a new
medicine that aids muscle growth.
**[06:07] Annabelle**
What? You can do that?
**[06:09] Both**
Seriously?
**[06:10] Reiji**
Yes, ma'am!
**[06:12] Annabelle**
Fine, then. Insect R,
get to developin' that medicine.
**[06:17] Reiji**
Yes, ma'am!
**[06:20] Mina**
Don't you think Ms. Annabelle is
being extra nice to Mr. Reiji?
**[06:24] Noela**
Woof.
**[06:25] Mina**
I don't think it's right
**[06:27] Mina**
for a teacher to show special
treatment to individual students.
**[06:32] Mina**
Bringing personal feelings into
the brigade disrupts discipline.
**[06:39] Mina**
It could even lead to discord.
What do you think?
**[06:44] Doz**
Shut up!
**[06:45] Moz**
You're not qualified to
give advice to the captain!
**[06:48] Annabelle**
In the first place, I don't remember
givin' you permission to speak!
**[06:51] Mina**
I don't think it's right to
always talk down to others.
**[06:56] Mina**
If you instruct people based on
illogical emotional arguments,
**[07:01] Mina**
then your mercenary band can't be very good.
**[07:06] Reiji**
Hey, Mina!
**[07:08] Reiji**
Ms. Annabelle's taking time out
of her schedule for you guys.
**[07:11] Reiji**
Stop putting her on the spot.
**[07:14] Mina**
Understood.
**[07:17] Annabelle**
All right, insects! I want
500 more from each of y'all!
**[07:21] Mina**
Huh?
**[07:22] Vivi**
I can't!
**[07:24] Annabelle**
Yes, you can!
**[07:25] Doz**
That's right. This is a typical
workout for a mercenary company.
**[07:29] Moz**
Yeah. We do this every day.
**[07:32] Vivi**
What?
**[07:34] Annabelle**
Too slow! Too slow! Too slow!
**[07:37] Annabelle**
Too slow! Y'all are too slow!

They wouldn't have to work out
so much if they could increase
**[07:48] Reiji**
their muscle mass more efficiently.
**[07:52] Reiji**
What if I mix
**[07:53] Reiji**
materials together using the Energy
Potion I previously brewed as a base?
**[08:17] Reiji**
Okay, it's done!
***SIGN*** Power Potion
**[08:19] Narration**
*Power Potion.*
**[08:22] Reiji**
This should allow them to build muscle
easily without working out so hard.
**[08:30] Reiji**
It kind of tastes like vanilla.
This'll go down easy.
**[08:36] Reiji**
Hey, I finished the medicine.
**[08:46] Reiji**
Huh?! What have you been doing?!
**[08:50] Reiji**
*I'm glad I was about to get out of that.*
**[08:52] Noela**
Master! Master's back!
**[08:55] Reiji**
Noela, did you already finish your training?
**[08:58] Noela**
Woof!
**[09:00] Annabelle**
Hey, you. Why don't you
join my mercenary company?
**[09:03] Doz**
But she can't act as part of a group.
**[09:05] Moz**
She's too free-spirited.
**[09:07] Noela**
I'm not joining. I'd rather be with Master.
**[09:11] Reiji**
There, there.
**[09:12] Noela**
Woof.
**[09:13] Reiji**
Oh, right. Here. This is the medicine I made.
**[09:18] Reiji**
It helps your muscles recover.
**[09:21] Reiji**
If you drink it after working out, it should
strengthen your muscles more efficiently.
**[09:26] Annabelle**
Huh. This'll really make
it easier to build muscle?
**[09:31] Reiji**
It's not very effective for
people who are already muscular.
**[09:34] Reiji**
After all, they've already got muscles.
**[09:36] Doz**
Then it's pointless.
**[09:38] Reiji**
But beginners should see good results.
**[09:41] Moz**
That's great.
**[09:49] Noela**
Woof!
**[09:54] Noela**
It's sweet. Now I'm ripped!
**[10:02] Reiji**
You won't get ripped that easily.
**[10:07] Reiji**
Huh? What?!
**[10:12] Reiji**
That worked fast!
**[10:16] Reiji**
A-Are you okay, Noela? What is it?
**[10:20] Noela**
Master.
**[10:21] Reiji**
Huh?!
**[10:23] Noela**
I can hear my biceps speaking.
**[10:27] Reiji**
Those don't speak!
**[10:29] Reiji**
That's something first-rate bodybuilders say!
**[10:32] Reiji**
Also, has your voice gotten deeper?!
**[10:35] Noela**
I can hear them... I can hear them.
**[10:38] Noela**
"Make us even bigger. Work us even harder."
**[10:42] Reiji**
N-Noela, come back!
**[10:46] Mina**
Is something wrong with Ms. Noela?
**[10:48] Reiji**
Oh, Mina. I guess my new
medicine was too effective.
**[10:51] Reiji**
Apparently she's hallucinating
that her biceps are speaking to...
**[11:04] Reiji**
Did you drink it, too?!
**[11:06] Mina**
Yes. I was thirsty,
so I gratefully accepted your gift.
**[11:14] Mina**
Ms. Noela can hear her biceps speaking?
**[11:17] Mina**
I wonder what happened to her.
**[11:19] Reiji**
Huh?
**[11:20] Mina**
I can hear my abs speaking to me.
**[11:23] Reiji**
You, too?! What happened to you?! Do you have any self-awareness?!
**[11:26] Reiji**
And you're not hearing anything!
That's a hallucination!
**[11:30] Mina**
I'm enraptured by these impressive muscles.
**[11:34] Mina**
"Let's show off the fruits of your hard work."
**[11:40] Mina**
That's what Mr. Six Pack is telling me.
**[11:43] Reiji**
Who the heck is that?!
**[11:45] Mina**
Oh, they're marvelous.
**[11:47] Reiji**
M-Mina, come back!
**[11:50] Reiji**
Give me back the Mina I know!
**[11:59] Mina**
Yo! Your biceps are like mountains.
**[12:02] Noela**
Yo! Look at those abs. Is that a
bar of chocolate on your stomach?
**[12:06] Reiji**
I can't do it. Nothing can
come between them now.
**[12:14] Reiji**
I'll just leave Vivi alone.
**[12:16] ---**
Woof.
**[12:18] Reiji**
Um, Ms. Annabelle, about this Power Potion...
**[12:21] Reiji**
Woof.
**[12:22] Reiji**
Make sure you dilute it by adding
a few drops to some water.
**[12:26] ---**
Woof.
**[12:26] Annabelle**
G-Got it.
**[12:28] Both**
We're not drinkin' that straight.
**[12:33] Reiji**
*Their muscle high lasted for about an hour,*
**[12:36] Reiji**
* after which their bodies*
* finally returned to normal.*
**[12:45] Vivi**
Reiji, the voices they heard
must've been the muscle spirit.
**[12:50] Reiji**
Yeah, whatever.
**[12:54] Reiji**
You don't have to lose
weight or get stronger.
**[12:57] Reiji**
We're a pharmacy.
**[13:02] Mina**
If you say so, Mr. Reiji.
**[13:04] Noela**
I agree.
**[13:08] Reiji**
* Another fun day in another world*
* without muscles, blood, or fighting.*

**[13:18] Ejil**
Master, it's about me and Noela.
**[13:22] Reiji**
Okay, what is it?
**[13:24] Ejil**
Do you suppose it's possible that
Ms. Noela has no interest in me?
**[13:31] Reiji**
You're just now figuring that out?
**[13:32] Ejil**
What?! It's true?!
**[13:35] Reiji**
Yeah, of course.
**[13:37] Ejil**
But she must recognize me as an individual.
After all, I'm the Demon King.
**[13:42] Reiji**
I doubt she even recognizes that.
**[13:45] Ejil**
I'm afraid I've made no progress
in my relationship with Ms. Noela.
**[13:50] Reiji**
Why does it sounds like you're asking
for legit relationship advice?
**[13:55] Reiji**
So, you want to develop your relationship.
**[13:59] Ejil**
Yes. Impressive as always, Master.
**[14:01] Ejil**
You're intelligent enough to
infer so much from so little.
**[14:07] Reiji**
Workplace relationships are difficult
no matter what world you live in.
**[14:12] Ejil**
Anyway, Master,
**[14:14] Ejil**
I'd like you to make a medicine that
will make us progress past friendship.
**[14:18] Reiji**
This isn't something medicine can fix.
**[14:22] Ejil**
I'm not asking to be lovers.
**[14:23] Ejil**
Just something to make us more
than friends, but not quite lovers...
**[14:28] Reiji**
Easier said than done.
**[14:31] Reiji**
Okay, fine. I wouldn't call it
developing your relationship,
**[14:36] Reiji**
but I can help you speak to
each other as colleagues.
**[14:40] Ejil**
Master!
**[14:43] Ejil**
Despite everything you say,
you always help me!
**[14:45] Reiji**
Give me a minute.
**[14:50] Reiji**
That said, I don't have a plan.
**[14:55] Reiji**
Hey, Noela. You always stay home on
days Ejil comes to the store, right?
**[15:00] Noela**
Woof? What about it?
**[15:02] Reiji**
Do you dislike Ejil?
**[15:05] Noela**
I don't dislike Ejil.
**[15:07] Reiji**
Really? That's surprising.
**[15:09] Noela**
I have an instinctive aversion to Ejil.
**[15:12] Reiji**
Hah!

Instinctive Aversion
**[15:13] Narration**
*Sad news: Instinctive Aversion.*
**[15:15] Mina**
An aversion is different
from disliking someone.
**[15:18] Noela**
Woof.
**[15:19] Reiji**
But what exactly does it mean to have
an instinctive aversion to someone?
**[15:23] Mina**
Well, an aversion to their appearance,
behavior, expressions, smell, hygiene,
**[15:32] Mina**
and manner of speech is probably what
you'd call an instinctive aversion.
**[15:38] Noela**
Woof.
**[15:39] Reiji**
In other words, you dislike
everything about him.
**[15:44] Reiji**
What do you find distasteful, specifically?
**[15:47] Noela**
The way he laughs. His overconfidence.
**[15:49] Reiji**
Well, he is the top demon.
**[15:52] Noela**
And he fawns on me. I hate that.
**[15:57] Reiji**
That's because you're so cold to him.
**[16:00] Noela**
Also, his smell. He smells
different from you.
**[16:03] Reiji**
His smell? Is it because he's a demon?
**[16:07] Reiji**
I can't tell at all, but you can?
**[16:10] Noela**
I like your smell. I don't like Ejil's smell.
**[16:14] Mina**
A person's smell is important.
**[16:17] Reiji**
Huh... His smell, huh?
**[16:20] Mina**
Daughters often instinctively
dislike their father's smell.
**[16:24] Mina**
That was true in Ms. Elaine's case.
**[16:28] Reiji**
Oh, yeah. They say that's got
something to do with pheromones.
**[16:34] Reiji**
Okay, I'll give it a shot.
**[16:39] Reiji**
What smells a person likes or dislikes
is determined on a genetic level.
**[16:44] Reiji**
So I should make something
that includes genes that smell
**[16:48] Reiji**
pleasant to Noela—in other words, my genes.
**[17:02] Reiji**
Okay, it's done!

In other words, I should

**[17:26] Reiji**
No!
**[17:27] Ejil**
Huh?
**[17:27] Reiji**
Listen, drinking all of it at

You want to eat food with this on it

**[17:36] Ejil**
Slowly?

Mina, there's no need to get so excited.
**[18:33] Mina**
I-In that case, you should've said so!
**[18:36] Mina**
N-Now I look like a crazy
person who got too excited!
**[18:41] Reiji**
That's exactly what you are.
You were totally ecstatic.
**[18:49] Noela**
Master, what are we doing?
**[18:51] Reiji**
We're playing a game in which you
try to guess which one is me
**[18:55] Reiji**
based on smell alone out of me, Ejil,
and a tomato covered in my new medicine.
**[19:00] Noela**
Woof. I won't get your smell wrong, Master.
**[19:04] Reiji**
Okay, Noela. You're going to be blindfolded.
**[19:10] Mina**
Here's your blindfold.
**[19:12] Noela**

Out of A, B, and C, please

Well, Ms. Noela?

Woof?
**[19:32] Reiji**
* Wow. Noela was so confident,*
* but she's hesitating.*
**[19:36] Reiji**
* In other words, when we're talking about*
* smell, Ejil and I aren't that different.*
**[19:40] Mina**
Ms. Noela, have you figured
out which one is Mr. Reiji?
**[19:44] Noela**
C? B? Woof...
**[19:54] Noela**
I got it!
**[19:55] Mina**
Then please declare your answer.
**[19:58] Noela**
Master is C!
**[20:04] Noela**
I got it right! Praise me,
Master! Lots of praise!
**[20:09] Reiji**
Okay, okay.
**[20:13] Mina**
But you did hesitate, Ms. Noela.
**[20:15] Noela**
Woof.
**[20:16] Reiji**
I'm impressed you figured it out in the end.
**[20:18] Noela**
I wasn't sure if it was B or C.
**[20:20] Noela**
But B was panting.
**[20:23] Noela**
I knew right away that it was Ejil.
**[20:25] Reiji**
Panting?
**[20:27] Ejil**
When I saw Ms. Noela fervently
smelling me, I couldn't help myself.
**[20:37] Reiji**
So you're just a pervert!
**[20:39] Ejil**
However, the medicine you
made is the real deal.
**[20:43] Ejil**
If I pour that over myself every day,
then Ms. Noela will smell me every day!
**[20:53] Reiji**
Ejil, *that's* your problem.
**[20:56] Ejil**
Come, Ms. Noela.
**[20:58] Ejil**
Right now I smell just like our master.
**[21:04] Noela**
Woof.
**[21:05] Noela**
I don't like Ejil.
**[21:08] Reiji**
Listen, Noela. Ejil says he
wants to get along with you.
**[21:14] Reiji**
You both work at the same store. Don't you
think it'd be better if you got along?
**[21:19] Noela**
In that case, fine.
**[21:22] Reiji**
Then shake hands and make up.
**[21:26] Ejil**
Ms. Noela...
**[21:28] Ejil**
This must be tsundere behavior.
**[21:31] Noela**
Woof.
**[21:32] Reiji**
Ejil, that's exactly why
she doesn't like you.
**[21:38] Reiji**
* Despite everything, Noela and Ejil*
* started getting along a little better.*
