[00:02] Reiji
    Are you two ready?
[00:04] Mina
    Yes.
[00:05] Noela
    Woof.
[00:06] Reiji
    Are you sure you're okay with a picnic?
[00:09] Reiji
    I thought it'd be nice to go out a little
    farther and spend the night somewhere.
[00:13] Mina
    Yes. It's fun to pack a
    lunch and go out somewhere.
[00:17] Mina
    And besides...
[00:19] Mina
    The truth is, before I became severely ill,
[00:22] Mina
    that lake was the only place I got to visit.
[00:25] Mina
    I have fond memories of
    visiting it with my family.
[00:28] Reiji
    Is that right?
[00:30] Mina
    It's a beautiful place.
[00:33] Mina
    Getting to visit it with the two of
    you is like a dream come true.
[00:37] Reiji
    I see. Then let's get going.
[00:40] Ejil
    Thank you for waiting.
[00:42] Ejil
    Shall we go?
[00:44] Reiji
    Did we invite you?
[00:49] Reiji
    Say something!

    Stop pulling me!
SIGN    Today's Prescription: Part 1
    Big Catch Buddy
[02:31] Reiji
    I had no idea there was a lake
    in the middle of the woods.
[02:33] Mina
    It's a bit difficult to find.
[02:36] Mina
    You may not be able to reach
    it unless you know the way.
[02:39] Noela
    I hear water.
[02:41] Mina
    We're almost there.
[02:51] Noela
    Woof. Smells nice.
[02:53] Ejil
    Ms. Noela, I see you like
    places like this one.
[02:58] Mina
    What do you think?
[02:59] Reiji
    It's a nice, quiet place.
[03:02] Reiji
    But...
[03:05] Reiji
    Don't you think it's too quiet?
[03:08] Mina
    You're right. I believe it was
    more lively a hundred years ago.
[03:15] Noela
    Lots of monsters and beasts nearby.
[03:19] Reiji
    Yikes... No wonder people stay away.
[03:22] Ejil
    Do not worry, Master!
[03:24] Ejil
    I shall drive off anyone who attacks us!
[03:27] Noela
    Woof! I'll protect you, Master!
[03:30] Reiji
    Uh... Thanks.
[03:38] Noela
    Woof.
[03:41] Ejil
    The tea tastes somewhat better than usual.
[03:46] Mina
    I used the same tea leaves to make it.
[03:49] Mina
    It's strange, isn't it?
[04:00] Reiji
    This is a nice place.
[04:01] Reiji
    We couldn't have come here
    if you hadn't told us about it.
[04:04] Reiji
    Thank you.
[04:05] Mina
    Not at all.
[04:07] Mina
    If anything, I'm glad we could
    come together. I'm truly...
[04:15] Mina
    I'm truly happy...
[04:20] Reiji
    That happy?
[04:21] Mina
    I'm so happy. I'm deeply moved.
[04:29] Ejil
    As this is my first picnic,
    I am moved, as well.
[04:34] Reiji
    Demon King, are you a shut-in?
[04:37] Ejil
    A shut—
[04:38] Reiji
    That means you've never gone fishing, right?
[04:40] Reiji
    I'll teach you. We can fish together.
[04:42] Ejil
    Understood!
[04:47] Reiji
    First, we'll look for a spot
    where there might be fish.
SIGN    Find Fish
[04:50] Narration
    Acquired the "Find Fish" skill.
[04:54] Reiji
    This seems useful. Let's see...
[04:59] Reiji
    There they are! There's a bunch of them!
[05:01] Ejil
    Yes, sir!
[05:02] Mina
    Mr. Reiji!
[05:04] Noela
    Master!
[05:08] Noela
    Master, how do I look?
[05:11] Mina
    What do you think?
[05:17] Reiji
    You look great.
[05:19] Mina
    I lost weight so I could wear this swimsuit.
[05:23] Reiji
    That must've been tough.
    You look wonderfully grown-up.
[05:26] Mina
    Really? I'm so glad.
[05:30] Noela
    Mina, play with me!
[05:33] Noela
    Woof, woof!
[05:35] Mina
    Ms. Noela, that's cold.
[05:38] Mina
    Take this!
[05:41] Noela
    You'll pay for that!
[05:42] Noela
    Take this!
[05:47] Mina
    That's cold!
[05:47] Reiji
    Ejil, let's go.
[05:49] Ejil
    This must be heaven.
[05:51] Reiji
    Demon Kings don't belong in heaven.
[05:53] Ejil
    I have no regrets.
[05:55] Reiji
    Fine, then. I'll do it myself.
[05:59] Reiji
    Besides, I've got my secret weapon.
SIGN    Big Catch Buddy
[06:03] Narration
    Big Catch Buddy.
[06:04] Narration
    A jelly containing pheromones that have a
    powerful effect on fishes' sense of smell.
[06:11] Reiji
    I made this by adapting the
    Beast Lure I made before.
[06:17] Reiji
    There!
[06:22] Reiji
    Huh?
[06:24] Reiji
    That's odd.
[06:26] Reiji
    Here comes a big one!
[06:29] Reiji
    Have I hooked a lake monster?
[06:33] Mina
    Mr. Reiji, you seem to have
    hooked quite a big one.
[06:36] Reiji
    Yeah, I'll definitely land this one!
[06:43] Noela
    Master!
[06:44] Mina
    Mr. Reiji!
[06:45] Reiji
    I-I've still got it...
[06:48] Reiji
    Now!
[06:49] Reiji
    Fish on!
[07:03] Reiji
    What is this?
[07:09] Vivi
    Ow...
[07:13] Vivi
    I thought I'd found my first meal in
    a while, but there was a hook in it.
[07:17] Vivi
    How could you?
[07:19] Vivi
    Ouch.
[07:20] Mina
    M-Mr. Reiji, a girl came out of the water!
[07:24] Noela
    Master, where did you find her?
[07:26] Reiji
    I'm not sure what's going on,
    but we fished her up together.
[07:29] Vivi
    You're the cruel human who fished me up.
[07:32] Reiji
    What? Uh, sorry... er...
[07:35] Reiji
    I didn't fish for you specifically.
    You just happened to get caught.
[07:39] Reiji
    Speaking of cruel, do you think
    you could get off of him?
[07:47] Ejil
    How dare you crush me?!
[07:50] Ejil
    Master, we should eliminate this creature!
[07:53] Reiji
    Don't.
[07:55] Vivi
    I am Vivi, spirit of this lake.
SIGN    Vivi (Spirit)
[07:59] Ejil
    Spirit?
[08:01] Vivi
    I-I'm sorry for crushing you, but
    what's the Demon King doing here?
[08:06] Ejil
    Why?! Wait, why am I here?
[08:09] Noela
    Vivi, ignore him. Let's eat
    lunch. You, too, Master.
[08:12] Ejil
    M-Ms. Noela?
[08:14] Noela
    Don't bully her.
[08:20] Mina
    We have plenty of sandwiches.
[08:26] Vivi
    B-But if a worthless spirit like
    me were to eat lunch with you...
[08:31] Reiji
    Yes?
[08:32] Vivi
    Wouldn't that make for an awkward lunchtime?
[08:35] Reiji
    It wouldn't.
[08:38] Vivi
    I bet you're pretending to accept me into
    your group so you can badmouth me later!
[08:43] Reiji
    We wouldn't do that!
[08:44] Reiji
    Why is this spirit so pessimistic?
[08:47] Noela
    Don't worry. Master and Mina are nice.
[08:51] Noela
    Eat sandwiches.
[09:01] Vivi
    It's good.
[09:03] Mina
    I'm glad. Have as much as you'd like.
[09:06] Vivi
    You're sure? You won't
    bully me for eating them?
[09:08] Mina
    Of course not. I'd be delighted
    to have you eat them.
[09:13] Vivi
    Thank you. I will, then.
[09:19] Vivi
    So that was a medicine you made, Reiji?
[09:23] Reiji
    Yeah. I didn't think I'd catch
    a spirit with it, though.
[09:26] Mina
    So spirits really do exist.
[09:30] Reiji
    Should a ghost be saying that?
[09:33] Mina
    It seemed like you were hungry.
[09:35] Mina
    Had you not eaten anything?
[09:37] Reiji
    That's right.
[09:39] Reiji
    You don't eat the fish in the lake?
[09:42] Vivi
    I couldn't catch—I mean,
    I couldn't eat my friends.
[09:47] Reiji
    She can't conceal her true thoughts.
[09:49] Vivi
    I used to eat the offerings left by humans.
[09:53] Vivi
    But recently, they've stopped leaving those.
[09:56] Vivi
    That's why I was so hungry.
[10:00] Mina
    Now that you mention it,
[10:01] Mina
    I think I heard there was a shrine
    in this area a long time ago.
[10:04] Vivi
    I was a pretty impressive spirit.
[10:07] Vivi
    But all I did was eat offerings. I never
    did anything for them in return, so...
[10:13] (Flashback) Vivi
    This parfait is so good!
[10:15] Vivi
    They probably thought
    I was a disgraceful spirit.
[10:19] Reiji
    Hey, calm down.
[10:21] Vivi
    Over time, their faith in me diminished.
[10:23] Vivi
    Once the people stopped coming,
    more monsters appeared,
[10:26] Vivi
    which kept people away even more.
[10:29] Vivi
    Once you guys learn I'm a worthless
    spirit that nobody believes in,
[10:34] Vivi
    I'm sure you'll laugh at me, too.
[10:39] Noela
    Master won't laugh. Neither will I.
[10:41] Mina
    Me, neither.
[10:44] Vivi
    Noela, Ms. Mina...
[10:50] Reiji
    Vivi?!
[10:52] All
    What?!
[10:59] Vivi
    So hot... Water...
[11:04] Reiji
    Water?
[11:06] Reiji
    Go!
[11:12] Vivi
    I feel refreshed.
[11:15] Reiji
    What was that?
[11:17] Vivi
    Sorry.
[11:18] Vivi
    I actually can't maintain my physical form
    unless my body temperature stays low.
[11:22] Vivi
    I'll return to the lake now.
[11:26] Reiji
    Why don't you fish with us?
[11:28] Reiji
    We can do that by the water.
[11:30] Reiji
    And I've got more of that
    bait, Big Catch Buddy.
[11:32] Vivi
    There's no way I could catch anything.
[11:35] Vivi
    You won't have fun hanging out with me.
[11:38] Mina
    That's not true.
[11:40] Noela
    Let's do it together.
[11:41] Vivi
    H-Huh?
[11:43] Reiji
    We'll have a competition.
[11:44] Reiji
    It'll be a team fishing contest.
[11:47] Vivi
    Okay...
[11:49] All
    Go!
[11:52] Reiji
    Here, hold this. Lift it
    once something is hooked.
[11:55] Reiji
    What is it?
[11:56] Vivi
    Why are you so considerate?
[11:59] Reiji
    I don't know.
[12:03] Vivi
    I bet you're making sure I owe you
    a favor now so you can use me later.
[12:08] Vivi
    That must be it.
[12:10] Reiji
    I'm not trying to make you owe me anything.
[12:15] Vivi
    R-Reiji, something's pulling
    really hard on the other end!
[12:18] Reiji
    One of your friends have arrived.
[12:20] Vivi
    Huh? Oh, I don't have friends.
[12:25] Reiji
    This is no time feel depressed.
[12:27] Reiji
    You've got a fish on the line. Reel it in.
[12:29] Reiji
    On my signal, okay?
[12:31] Vivi
    H-Huh?
[12:32] Reiji
    Ready, and...
[12:48] Reiji
    Nice effort.
[12:49] Vivi
    I caught something! I did it!
[12:52] Reiji
    Yeah!
[12:54] Reiji
    All right, keep it up.
[12:56] Vivi
    Okay, I will.
[12:58] Mina
    Wow, what a haul.
[13:02] Mina
    You won't beat us.
[13:04] Noela
    Woof.
[13:05] Reiji
    Not bad, guys.
[13:11] Reiji
    You...
[13:13] Ejil
    I'm ready to go free diving.
[13:15] Ejil
    Watch me, Ms. Noela.
[13:17] Ejil
    I'll do my best to change your mind about me.
[13:23] Reiji
    We can't let them beat us, Vivi.
[13:26] Vivi
    It's impossible. They're already so far ahead.
[13:29] Reiji
    Can't you use your lake spirit powers
    to make it easier to catch fish?
[13:33] Vivi
    You think I have powers?
[13:35] Reiji
    Then we'll do our best together,
    even if you don't have any special powers.
[13:41] Vivi
    Okay.
[13:45] Reiji
    That's 24 for Ejil, 26 for the
    poster girls, and 23 for us.
[13:53] Mina
    We win, Ms. Noela.
[13:55] Noela
    Woof, woof.
[13:57] Reiji
    This is more than enough to take back
    to the general store and Rabbit Tavern.
[14:01] Reiji
    Vivi, you can have the rest.
[14:03] Vivi
    What? Why?
[14:05] Reiji
    Why? Because it's too much for us.
[14:09] Reiji
    You can eat them if you get hungry.
[14:11] Vivi
    Humans always want something in return.
[14:15] Vivi
    They always prayed for something
    when they left offerings.
[14:19] Vivi
    They asked for rain to fall
    and for droughts to end.
[14:25] Vivi
    But I can't do that. I'm not
    a god. I can't do anything.
[14:31] Vivi
    Please don't come back.
[14:34] Vivi
    I'm sorry.
[14:36] Reiji
    Vivi.
[14:38] Reiji
    I don't expect anything in return from you.
[14:41] Reiji
    Between friends, it's okay if you're
    always on the giving or receiving end.
[14:45] Reiji
    I don't like purely self-interested
    relationships, either.
[14:52] Vivi
    Friends? You and I are friends?
[14:57] Noela
    We're friends, too. I had fun.
[15:00] Vivi
    Noela...
[15:01] Mina
    I wouldn't mind being your friend, either.
[15:06] Mina
    This lake is important to me, too.
[15:11] Mina
    And you're the one who was
    there to see it with me.
[15:15] Vivi
    Ms. Mina...
[15:17] Ejil
    Well, we're not friends,
    but I will commend you
[15:19] Ejil
    for providing me with the opportunity
    to change Ms. Noela's opinion about me.
[15:22] Ejil
    I'm not opposed to the idea
    of becoming your friend.
[15:24] Ejil
    After all, the Demon King has a big heart.
[15:27] Vivi
    But didn't you come all the
    way here to have a picnic?
[15:33] Vivi
    You'll never come back to see me.
[15:37] Reiji
    If you'll miss us that much, why don't
    you come work at my store part-time?
[15:40] Vivi
    What? Part-time?
[15:43] Vivi
    I don't want to work part-time.
    Hire me as a full-time employee.
[15:46] Reiji
    That's your problem?
[15:48] Vivi
    Part-timers are cast aside the
    moment they're not needed anymore.
[15:51] Vivi
    And besides, didn't you
    see what happened earlier?
[15:54] Vivi
    I can't maintain my physical form
    unless I keep my body temperature low.
[15:58] Vivi
    I appreciate the offer, but...
[16:02] Reiji
    Hold on. We could use that.

[16:08] Reiji
    Vivi, hold out your arm.
[16:15] Vivi
    It feels cool!
[16:18] Reiji
    How's that? If you rub this on your
    skin, you'll stay cold all day.
[16:21] Vivi
    Wow! This is incredible, Reiji!
[16:24] Mina
    Then you'll work at the
    store with us, Ms. Vivi.
[16:27] Vivi
    What?
[16:27] Noela
    That's great, Vivi.
[16:29] Vivi
    Y-Yeah. Are you sure you're okay with that?
[16:32] Reiji
    We'd love to have you. You'll start
    as a part-time employee, though.
[16:36] Vivi
    What?
[16:37] Reiji
    But you'll have a legitimate
    reason to come visit us.
[16:41] Reiji
    You won't be lonely anymore.
[16:49] Vivi
    Thank you. I'll do my best to
    become a full-time employee.
[16:54] Reiji
    Why are you so obsessed with that?
SIGN    Kirio Drugstore
[16:56] Reiji
    Several days later, Vivi's first
    day as a part-timer arrived.

    I look forward to working with you.

    Sure. You'll be trained by...
[17:06] Reiji
    Ejil, look after her.
[17:09] Ejil
    Yes, Master!
[17:10] Vivi
    What? But he's the Demon King!
[17:15] Ejil
    I am your senior.
[17:18] Vivi
    Y-Yes, sir! He's so scary!
[17:20] Ejil
    Listen up, newbie. I shall
    give you work to do.
[17:24] Ejil
    Do you know what that means?
[17:27] Vivi
    U-Uh, you'll have less on your plate?
[17:30] Ejil
    Wrong!
[17:32] Ejil
    Ms. Noela will be impressed by my
    ability to look after my junior!
[17:37] Reiji
    That's all you want, Demon King?
[17:38] Vivi
    Noela will?
[17:40] Ejil
    "Noela"?! How dare you refer to
    her in such a familiar way?!
[17:43] Vivi
    You think so? But we're friends.
[17:49] (Flashback) Noela
    We're friends, too.
[17:51] Ejil
    You're... Noela's friend...
[17:54] Ejil
    Ms. Vivi!
[17:56] Ejil
    If you have any questions, just ask.
[17:59] Ejil
    I shall do everything I can to assist you.
[18:02] Vivi
    Huh? Uh, okay.
[18:05] Reiji
    His willingness to do whatever it
    takes is befitting of the Demon King.

    Gold star for him.

    It's such a hassle.

    Indeed.
[18:20] Reiji
    That's an unusual lineup.
[18:22] Reiji
    Welcome, Paula and Annabelle.
[18:24] Paula
    Hey, Rei. Hello, hello.
[18:26] Annabelle
    What's your problem? We girls are
    havin' an important conversation.
[18:30] Annabelle
    Get out of here.
[18:32] Reiji
    Important conversation?
[18:34] Mina
    But Mr. Reiji might be able to make a
    medicine that would take care of it.
[18:42] Reiji
    Wh-What?
[18:44] Annabelle
    I see.
[18:45] Paula
    That's a great idea. Will you hear us out?

    S-Sure, it can't hurt to listen.

    Woof! I'll help you work!

    Pretty?

    Anyway, I tried making something.
[19:14] Reiji
    I call it hair removal cream
    "Harriette Remover."

    Thanks, Rei. I'll try it immediately.
[19:27] Annabelle
    Wow, I can't believe you
    actually made somethin'.
[19:30] Annabelle
    Impressive as always, pharmacist.

    This is amazing.

    Thank you, Mr. Reiji.
[19:36] Reiji
    Sure thing. It was worth making if
    you guys are this happy about it.
[19:46] Reiji
    Good morning.
[19:48] Mina
    Good morning.
[19:52] Reiji
    Good morning, Noela.
[19:53] Noela
    G-Good morning, Master.
[19:56] Reiji
    I see you dressed up today.
    Did something happen?
[20:00] Noela
    No, nothing.
[20:01] Reiji
    But you're so proud of your
    tail. Let me take a look.
[20:05] Noela
    It's nothing! Nothing!
[20:06] Reiji
    Noela!
[20:11] Noela
    Don't touch, Master!
[20:14] Reiji
    You used that medicine without
    my permission, didn't you?
[20:18] Mina
    Ms. Noela, I told you
    he'd find out right away.
[20:25] Reiji
    I see. It was supposed to make you
    pretty, but instead you lost your fur.
[20:29] Reiji
    I did think it was noisy in here this morning.
[20:31] Mina
    I'm sorry. Ms. Noela came to me for help.
[20:35] Noela
    Don't worry. It'll grow back soon.
[20:38] Reiji
    This medicine prevents hair growth, too.
[20:42] Noela
    Woof?!
[20:44] Noela
    Master, I'm sorry!
[20:46] Noela
    I promise I won't use your
    medicines without asking again!
[20:52] Reiji
    Okay, okay.

    Master, thank you. I'll follow you forever.
[21:12] Reiji
    It's not that big a deal.
[21:17] Reiji
    I didn't get mad at Noela because
    I realized she's a girl after all, too.
[21:18] Noela
    Thank you, thank you.
[21:24] Reiji
    She was probably driven by instinct.
SIGN    Kirio Drugstore
[21:29] Noela
    Woof, woof.
[21:31] Reiji
    Her tail was back to its
    usual fluffiness in no time.
[21:36] Reiji
    And since then, Noela has stopped
    running off with new medicines.
[21:41] Reiji
    And we lived happily ever after.
[21:43] Noela
    Woof.

    What a perv.
