[00:01] UCHIMURA {M}
    To think... I would
    transfer to another world...
[00:06] UCHIMURA {M}
    And more so, as one of the
    Big Four of the Demon Army!
[00:10] UCHIMURA {M}
    So this is the organizational chart...
[00:12] UCHIMURA {M}
    Even though it's a small country, the
    chain of command is organized well.
[00:17] UCHIMURA {M}
    I never thought I'd get my own office.
[00:21] UCHIMURA {M}
    I'm filled with anxiety, but...
[00:23] UCHIMURA {M}
    This is for the Demon Overlord, who
    acknowledged me, a half-assed salaryman.
[00:27] UCHIMURA {M}
    I have no choice but to push forward!
[02:09] UCHIMURA {M}
    Now that I've decided to take this job,
[02:12] UCHIMURA {M}
    there is certain business
    etiquette I must uphold.
[02:14] UCHIMURA {M}
    I must properly greet
    the other elite generals
[02:18] UCHIMURA {M}
    who I haven't had a chance
    to speak with yet!
[02:22] UCHIMURA
    Ms. Sylphid, are you there?
[02:28] BELINDA
    Yes...
[02:29] BELINDA
    Um, who might you be?
[02:31] UCHIMURA
    U-Um... I am Uchimura. I've recently
    been inducted as one of the Big Four.
[02:36] UCHIMURA
    I came to greet Sylphid,
    Archmage of Storms—
[02:38] BELINDA
    My apologies.
[02:40] BELINDA
    Mistress Sylphid has been absent
    for quite some time now.
[02:43] UCHIMURA
    What? She's not here?
[02:45] BELINDA
    Yes. I am Belinda, her assistant.
[02:48] BELINDA
    I shall inform her of your visit, so
    please take your leave for today.
[02:55] UCHIMURA
    Oh... Well...
[02:56] UCHIMURA
    Business always comes with a loss and a win!
[03:00] UCHIMURA
    No getting discouraged,
    let's move onto the next!
[03:02] ULMANDRA
    Uchimura!
[03:03] ULMANDRA
    So this is where you were!
[03:05] ULMANDRA
    The overlord is summoning you!
[03:06] UCHIMURA
    Oh! The Demon Overlord wants to see me?
[03:08] ULMANDRA
    It's a new work order.
[03:11] UCHIMURA
    I'll see him right away.
[03:13] UCHIMURA
    A merger negotiation with
    the Ogre Tribe, huh.
[03:16] DEMON OVERLORD
    That's correct.

[03:17] DEMON OVERLORD
    Our Demon Army is an emerging force.
[03:20] DEMON OVERLORD
    For our army to stand equal
     to those greater powers,
[03:23] DEMON OVERLORD
    we need to cooperate with the
    demi-human tribes that surround the region
[03:26] DEMON OVERLORD
    to become even stronger.
[03:28] DEMON OVERLORD
    And amongst these demi-humans, the Ogre
    Tribe is particularly influential.
SIGN    Ogre
[03:34] DEMON OVERLORD
    The Ogre Tribe has a military force
    that is as powerful as ours,
[03:37] DEMON OVERLORD
    and it acts as a leader
    to the surrounding races.
[03:41] DEMON OVERLORD
    However, because of this,
    they are wary of our forces,
[03:44] DEMON OVERLORD
    and have imposed information
    control in recent years.
[03:47] DEMON OVERLORD
    An alliance would be beneficial,
[03:49] DEMON OVERLORD
    but they could prove troublesome enemies.
[03:51] DEMON OVERLORD
    This is what you would call in your world
    a merger negotiation with a competitor.
[03:56] DEMON OVERLORD
    There was no suitable
    being to take on this task
[03:59] DEMON OVERLORD
    due to the scale and
    difficulty of the matter.
[04:02] DEMON OVERLORD
    I have seen you and am convinced!
[04:04] DEMON OVERLORD
    Uchimura, you are capable of this task!
[04:08] DEMON OVERLORD
    I leave this role to you.
    Negotiate with the Ogre Tribe!
[04:11] DEMON OVERLORD
    Demonstrate your ability to its fullest!
[04:14] UCHIMURA
    Demon Overlord, sir...
[04:15] ULMANDRA
    I have no choice. I'll escort
    you this time as well.
[04:19] UCHIMURA
    Thank you very much!
[04:21] ULMANDRA
    W-Well, I'm worried if I'm not with you.
[04:27] ULMANDRA
    Uchimura, as members of the Big Four,
     let us work together once more!
[04:32] UCHIMURA
    Yes. Oh, speaking of working together,
[04:35] UCHIMURA
    let's go meet Ms. Gnome,
    the Earthen Bastion.
[04:38] ULMANDRA
    You're right. Hm?
[04:40] UCHIMURA
    Looking at the organizational chart,
[04:42] UCHIMURA
    Ms. Gnome leads the demi-human forces.
[04:45] UCHIMURA
    The Ogre Tribe is also demi-human, so
    maybe we could gather some information.
[04:49] ULMANDRA
    I'm not going!
[04:50] ULMANDRA
    I need to check on the carriage anyway.
[04:52] UCHIMURA
    Oh, you're right. It's faster if
    we divide and conquer the tasks.
[04:56] UCHIMURA
    Well then, we'll split
    here until we head out.
[04:58] UCHIMURA
    I'll leave those tasks to you.
[05:02] ULMANDRA
    Be quick about it, all right?
[05:10] UCHIMURA
    This is...
[05:11] WOLVES
    Enough!
[05:13] GNOME
    Your accuracy with the bow has improved.
[05:15] ARCHER DEMI-HUMANS
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:16] GNOME
    Your spear attacks are much
     quicker than before, as well.
[05:20] SPEAR DEMI-HUMANS
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:20] GNOME
    Everyone is doing well.
[05:23] GNOME
    Allow them to rest well.
[05:25] WOLVES
    Yes, ma'am...
[05:26] UCHIMURA {M}
    Her subordinates' morale is high.
[05:27] UCHIMURA {M}
    To think she can command such
    a large number of soldiers...
[05:30] GNOME
    And, what is it that you want with
    me, Overseas Manager Uchimura?
[05:35] UCHIMURA
    Oh... Uh... Along with
     introducing myself,
[05:38] UCHIMURA
    I wanted to ask about the Ogre Tribe.
[05:40] GNOME
    Oh, does that mean the next group we're
    negotiating with is the Ogre Tribe?
[05:44] UCHIMURA
    Yes.
[05:46] GNOME
    Hm, let's see...
[05:48] GNOME
    Ogure, the chief of the tribe,
    is a difficult opponent.
[05:50] UCHIMURA
    Difficult opponent?
[05:52] GNOME
    Because of his bravery and boldness,
[05:54] GNOME
    he is regarded by his
    opponents as a dictator.
[05:57] UCHIMURA
    Oh, I see...
[05:58] GNOME
    Well, the rest you should see for yourself.
[06:00] GNOME
    Besides that, quickly get that
    thing out of my sight, will you?
[06:03] GNOME
    My subordinates feel restless
    when there is a demon
[06:06] GNOME
    looking murderous for no reason.
[06:09] UCHIMURA
    Huh? Ah, Ms. Ulmandra?!
    What are you doing here?!
[06:12] ULMANDRA
    We're ready to go. I came
    here because I was worri—
[06:15] ULMANDRA
    I mean, I'm here to get you because
    your ass was late coming back.
[06:16] UCHIMURA
    What? I'm sorry!
[06:18] GNOME
    Uchimura, please quickly
    depart with that thing.
[06:21] ULMANDRA
    You said it earlier, too. What
    do you mean by "thing," huh?!
[06:24] ULMANDRA
    Hey, are you listening to me?!
[06:25] ULMANDRA
    Raise your ears!
[06:27] ULMANDRA
    Listen to me!
[06:28] UCHIMURA {M}
    Could it be that these two...
[06:28] ULMANDRA
    You're always like this!
    Have a little respect!
SIGN    Episode 2:
    The Art of Negotiation in Captivating a Stubborn Tribal Chief
[06:40] ULMANDRA
    This is taking forever! How long do
    you intend to make us wait?!
[06:43] GATEKEEPER 1
    Until the chief gives us permission.
[06:45] GATEKEEPER 2
    We can't let anyone through till then,
    not even the Big Four or whoever.
[06:49] UCHIMURA {M}
    Just like my previous job.
[06:51] UCHIMURA {M}
    Negotiating with a competitor
    has always been difficult.
[06:54] UCHIMURA {M}
    The negotiation game has already begun
    before even getting to the table.
[06:58] UCHIMURA
    Ms. Ulmandra, throwing off the other party
[07:01] UCHIMURA
    by making them wait is a common tactic.
[07:03] UCHIMURA
    It's best to stay calm, and—
[07:04] ULMANDRA
    They're certainly making
    a mockery out of us.
[07:06] UCHIMURA {M}
    Wha?!
[07:07] OLULU
    Lord Uchimura, Lord Ulmandra,
    thank you for waiting.
[07:13] OLULU
    Please, right this way.
[07:16] ULMANDRA
    Finally. Let's go, Uchimura.
[07:29] ULMANDRA
    Stop looking around!
[07:30] UCHIMURA
    Oh, right...
[07:32] ULMANDRA
    Don't let your guard down.
[07:33] ULMANDRA
    The ogres are an exceptional race.
[07:35] ULMANDRA
    Their strength is comparable to
    that of our Demon Army.
[07:38] ULMANDRA
    And you understand our biggest
    problem, don't you?
[07:41] UCHIMURA
    Yes...
[07:42] UCHIMURA {M}
    Ms. Gnome said it herself that
    the Chief of the Ogre Tribe,
[07:44] UCHIMURA {M}
    Ogure, is a difficult opponent.
[07:47] OLULU
    Please head inside.
[07:53] UCHIMURA {M}
    Just what kind of being is he?
[08:08] ULMANDRA
    Lord Ogure, I have come today with an
    important matter from the Demon Overlord—
[08:11] OGURE
    Quit your yapping!
[08:13] OGURE
    You wenches, always yapping
    without permission.
[08:17] OGURE
    As long as I live, I won't allow you to
    speak, respond, move, or do anything!
[08:26] UCHIMURA {M}
    The short-tempered Ms. Ulmandra
    is holding herself back...
[08:29] OGURE
    I know what you're trying to do...
[08:33] OGURE
    You want to surrender
    to our army, don't you?
[08:36] ULMANDRA
    What?!
[08:37] OGURE
    Very well, I'll make
    an exception and allow it,
[08:41] OGURE
    but it comes with a condition.
[08:44] OGURE
    Bring me the head of your
    chief, the Demon Overlord.
[08:49] OGURE
    How's that?
[08:50] OGURE
    Reasonable terms, don't you agree?
[08:52] ULMANDRA
    How dare you spout such mockery.
[08:55] OGURE
    You gonna do it or not?
[08:57] OGURE
    Answer me now.
[08:59] ULMANDRA{M}
    How can I answer that right away?
[09:03] UCHIMURA
    If that's the case, please
    allow us to think on it.
[09:07] UCHIMURA
    Thank you very much for taking the
    time out of your busy schedule
[09:10] UCHIMURA
    to speak with us today.
[09:11] ULMANDRA
    What...
[09:12] UCHIMURA
    Let's go.
[09:19] ULMANDRA
    Argh! Unforgivable!
[09:21] ULMANDRA
    That old geezer, insulting our lord!
[09:24] ULMANDRA
    I'll never forgive him!
[09:26] ULMANDRA
    I'll tear him to pieces
    and feed him to the dogs!
[09:27] UCHIMURA
    Please calm down!
[09:28] UCHIMURA
    You're playing right into his hands.
[09:30] ULMANDRA
    I don't care whether it's his hand or face!
[09:32] UCHIMURA
    That's what I'm talking about!
[09:32] ULMANDRA
    I'll tear him to pieces!
[09:34] UCHIMURA
    His aim is to make us angry and
    break down the negotiations!
[09:37] ULMANDRA
    What...?
[09:38] UCHIMURA
    The ogre chief has no
    intention of negotiating.
[09:41] UCHIMURA
    However, as a clan leader, he wants
    to avoid unnecessary conflict.
[09:44] UCHIMURA
    That's why he's purposely
    saying things to rattle us.
[09:46] UCHIMURA
    That way, it's the negotiator's
    fault if the deal falls through.
[09:51] OGURE
    Negotiations fell through because
    of the scum you sent over!
[09:56] ULMANDRA
    So twisted... Aren't you frustrated?!
[09:59] ULMANDRA
    Our army was just insulted!
[10:01] UCHIMURA
    Of course I am.
[10:04] UCHIMURA
    However, expressing our rage on the spot
    would put our lord at a disadvantage.
[10:08] UCHIMURA
    Worst case scenario, they could use that
     as an excuse to ally with other nations
[10:12] UCHIMURA
    and potentially attack the Demon Army.
[10:14] UCHIMURA
    If there's no room for negotiations,
    one must withdraw for now.
[10:16] UCHIMURA
    Forcing it will only
    put a damper on the relationship.
[10:19] ULMANDRA
    I see... I'm sorry.
[10:21] UCHIMURA
    Please don't apologize.
[10:23] UCHIMURA
    If you weren't there, Ms. Ulmandra,
    I probably would have been the one to rage.
[10:28] ULMANDRA
    Uchimura...
[10:30] ULMANDRA
    Still, what should we do?
[10:32] ULMANDRA
    He has no intention of negotiating, right?
[10:34] UCHIMURA
    Indeed, that's the issue...
[10:36] OLULU
    Um...
[10:38] UCHIMURA
    You're the girl from earlier...
[10:40] OLULU
    Please forgive my sudden rudeness.
[10:42] OLULU
    I am Olulu, Ogure's daughter.
[10:45] UCHIMURA{M}
    His daughter?
[10:47] ULMANDRA
    What does you want?
    Are you here to get rid of us?
[10:50] UCHIMURA
    Now, now...
[10:51] UCHIMURA
    And, how can we help you?
[10:54] OLULU
    I want you to drag my father...
    Ogure down from his throne.
[10:59] UCHIMURA; ULMANDRA
    What?!
[11:00] UCHIMURA
    Drag him down from his throne?
[11:07] ULMANDRA
    Where are we?
[11:09] OLULU
    This is the castle's food cellar.
[11:11] OLULU
    In the past, the Ogre Tribe had great
    influence on the surrounding tribes.
[11:15] OLULU
    However, now we've run
    into financial problems,
[11:18] OLULU
    and some are even struggling
    to find food to eat.
[11:21] UCHIMURA
    I can imagine.
[11:22] ULMANDRA
    What, you knew?!
[11:24] UCHIMURA
    Well, somewhat...
[11:26] UCHIMURA
    The soldier's equipment seemed dilapidated,
    and the castle is dim and lifeless.
[11:31] UCHIMURA
    It's a common sight amongst large
    companies in decline.
[11:34] UCHIMURA
    The top-down management style done
    by one person moves quickly
[11:37] UCHIMURA
    because the chain of command is simple.
[11:40] UCHIMURA
    But once it breaks down, it's hard to
    efficiently adapt and course correct.
[11:46] UCHIMURA
    Isn't that what's happening here?
[11:49] OLULU
    Yes.
[11:50] OLULU
    The only way to rebuild this failing tribe
     is to rely on the Demon Army.
[11:56] OLULU
    But my father will not listen...
[11:59] OLULU
    Besides that... The chief...
    My father is ill.
[12:02] UCHIMURA; ULMANDRA
    What?!
[12:04] OLULU
    That is why we've carefully controlled
    information about the chief,
[12:06] OLULU
    and why we made you wait
    before meeting him.
[12:09] OLULU
    He's putting up a strong front,
    but he's no longer in his prime.
[12:15] OLULU
    In the future, if my father were to
    pass on, it would be a big mess!
[12:19] OLULU
    Something must be done!
[12:21] UCHIMURA
    I understand your concerns.
[12:23] UCHIMURA
    However, your actions are imprudent.
[12:26] OLULU
    What?!
[12:26] UCHIMURA
    A member of an organization
    shouldn't easily talk about internal affairs.
[12:31] UCHIMURA
    Let alone mention your
    boss's medical conditions.
[12:34] UCHIMURA
    Silence is a virtue.
[12:36] UCHIMURA
    If you're the chief's daughter,
    you should be more cautious.
[12:39] OLULU
    Then you must be a real softie to go
    out of your way to tell me my mistakes.
[12:45] ULMANDRA
    Seriously.
[12:46] UCHIMURA
    Ms. Ulmandra?!
[12:47] OLULU
    I'm rather confident in
    my ability to read people.
[12:51] OLULU
    That is why I told you,
    Mr. Dennosuke Uchimura.
[12:56] OLULU
    Please, Mr. Uchimura...
[12:58] OLULU
    Will you...
[13:01] UCHIMURA
    What?!
[13:01] OLULU
    Please marry me and become
    the new chief of our tribe?!
[13:06] UCHIMURA
    Wha...?
[13:08] UCHIMURA
    What?!
[13:10] OLULU
    We need someone like you to save our tribe!
[13:13] UCHIMURA
    Please wait! This is all so sudden.
[13:16] OLULU
    Everyone in the clan is hard-headed
    and influenced by my father.
[13:19] OLULU
    That is why if you become the chief,
    the Ogre Tribe will be saved!
[13:20] UCHIMURA
    Uh... um, but...
[13:22] OLULU
    Is there a better way?
[13:24] UCHIMURA
    W-Well...
[13:28] OLULU
    Marriage is the only way!
[13:30] OLULU
    Let's get married immediately!
[13:32] UCHIMURA
    Ms. Olulu?!
[13:41] ULMANDRA
    Please allow us to think on it.
[13:50] UCHIMURA
    What is even happening...
[13:52] UCHIMURA
    The clan chief has no
    intention of negotiating.
[13:54] UCHIMURA
    His daughter, Ms. Olulu, is jumping the gun.

    settle this account.

    Uchimura!
[15:33] ULMANDRA
    Is it true that you had a breakthrough?!
[15:36] UCHIMURA
    Yes.
[15:37] UCHIMURA
    My apologies for calling you
    this early in the morning.
[15:39] ULMANDRA
    Oh! D-Don't worry about it.
[15:41] ULMANDRA
    Let's hurry and head
    out to meet the Ogre Tribe.
[15:43] UCHIMURA
    No, we're heading somewhere else.
[15:46] ULMANDRA
    Hm? What do you mean?
[15:48] UCHIMURA
    I'll tell you the details along the way.
[15:51] UCHIMURA
    If everything goes well, hopefully the chief
    will be the one to set up a negotiation session.
[15:55] ULMANDRA
    He's going to?
SIGN    One Week Later
[16:01] UCHIMURA
    What's the matter?
[16:03] UCHIMURA
    Calling us out like this all of a sudden.
[16:06] OGURE
    Drop the act, you brats!
[16:09] OGURE
    Why did the other races join
     the Demon Army?!
[16:17] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
    What? You're going to recruit
    the other races first?
[16:20] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
    Yes. Just as I thought, they
    were in trouble as well.
[16:23] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
    In the past, they were aided by
    the Ogre Tribe, but not anymore.
[16:28] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
    It's difficult to do so now, huh?
[16:30] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
    And so, we'll begin by annexing
     the Ogre Tribe's neighboring territory.
[16:34] UCHIMURA
    I call it, "Operation Strong
    Hold of Large Corporations."
SIGN    Operation Strong Hold
[16:38] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
    Strong hold...?
[16:42] ULMANDRA{M}
    That's what I thought,
    but I wasn't expecting him
[16:44] ULMANDRA{M}
    to actually call us out for this matter.
[16:46] UCHIMURA{M}
    I used this strategy long ago
[16:47] UCHIMURA{M}
    when I was trying to get a
    contract with a large company...

[16:51] UCHIMURA{M}
    If you approach a big company from
    the front gates like an idiot,
[16:53] UCHIMURA{M}
    they'll dismiss you and kick you out.

[16:55] UCHIMURA{M}
    So I approached small to medium-sized
    companies and pitched our sale,
[16:58] UCHIMURA{M}
    asking them to buy our products.
[17:00] UCHIMURA{M}
    Then the big companies began
    to buy it themselves,
SIGN    Product
[17:03] UCHIMURA{M}
    stating that they couldn't allow the
    smaller companies to have new products
[17:07] UCHIMURA{M}
    while they carried old ones.
[17:10] UCHIMURA{M}
    If the surrounding demi-humans join
    the Demon Army,
[17:13] UCHIMURA{M}
    that prideful chief wouldn't
    just let that slide.
[17:15] UCHIMURA{M}
    The first step is a success.
[17:18] UCHIMURA{M}
    And, now.
[17:19] UCHIMURA
    Lord Ogure, they were struggling
    to make ends meet.
[17:22] UCHIMURA
    Joining the Demon Army guarantees
     a minimum standard of living.
[17:25] OGURE
    That's not what I'm asking!
[17:27] OGURE
    This area is ruled by the Ogre Tribe!
[17:30] UCHIMURA{M}
    Good. He's becoming more
    emotional and less logical.
[17:30] OGURE {background}
    I won't allow it!
[17:32] OGURE {background}
    I won't let you do as you please!
[17:34] UCHIMURA{M}
    Negotiations are lost by those
    who lose their cool first.
[17:37] UCHIMURA
    My apologies.
[17:38] UCHIMURA
    However, this annexation was
    not only carried out by us,
[17:41] UCHIMURA
    but also by the Ogre Tribe.
[17:43] OGURE
    That's impossible! I did no such thing!
[17:47] ULMANDRA
    We didn't say you did.
[17:50] UCHIMURA
    Please come in.
[17:55] OGURE
    Wha... Did you...
[17:59] UCHIMURA
    Lady Olulu took it upon herself
[18:01] UCHIMURA
    to arrange negotiations
    with the surrounding tribes.
[18:05] UCHIMURA
    As your daughter, she had
    the title and connections,
[18:08] UCHIMURA
    which made the negotiations run smoothly.
[18:11] OGURE {M}
    Why would Olulu do such a thing?
[18:14] OLULU
    Father!
[18:15] OLULU
    Our top priority should be the lives
    and future of the demi-humans!
[18:20] OLULU
    The only way out of this predicament is
    to rely on the Demon Army's aid!
[18:24] OGURE
    D-Don't be foolish!
[18:25] OGURE
    There is no way I'll accept—
[18:27] OLULU
    Times have changed!
[18:31] OLULU
    Father...
[18:32] OLULU
    You are stronger than anyone...
[18:35] OLULU
    and someone who I've looked up to.
[18:50] OLULU
    However! The father who was once
    called the Invincible Ogure
[18:53] OLULU
    is now old and ill!
[18:56] OLULU
    It is time that we joined hands!
[18:58] OLULU
    Father!
[18:59] UCHIMURA
    Then how about we form an alliance?
[19:02] UCHIMURA
    Not an annexation, but an alliance.
[19:04] UCHIMURA
    An equal partnership.
[19:06] OGURE
    An alliance, you say...
[19:08] UCHIMURA{M}
    By the way, being annexed by the Demon Army
[19:10] UCHIMURA{M}
    isn't that different from becoming an ally
[19:13] UCHIMURA{M}
    since the overlord allows autonomy
    to the other party.
[19:16] UCHIMURA{M}
    But the wording makes all the difference
    to a proud chief like him.
[19:21] OGURE
    It's something to consider.
     I'll think about it.
[19:24] OGURE
    I'll give you my answer
    later, so wait a bit.
[19:27] UCHIMURA
    Understood! Thank you very much, Lord Ogure!
[19:31] ULMANDRA
    Oh, the "allow us to think
    on it" play, huh...
[19:34] ULMANDRA
    Are you sure about this, Uchimura?
[19:36] UCHIMURA
    Yes.
[19:36] UCHIMURA{M}
    The answer is already there.
[19:38] UCHIMURA{M}
    He just needs the time
    to make the decision.
[19:45] OLULU
    Father, thank you so much.
[19:52] OGURE {M}
    My Olulu, who was once small, is now...
[19:56] OGURE {M}
    I suppose times do change.
SIGN    A Few Days Later
[20:05] ULMANDRA
    Uchimura! Ogure has contacted
    me to make an agreement!
[20:08] UCHIMURA
    I'm glad to hear that. Hmm...
[20:11] ULMANDRA
    What's going on?
[20:12] UCHIMURA
    The Demon Overlord has told me
    to appoint a direct underling...
[20:15] UCHIMURA
    But I have no idea who to choose.
[20:17] UCHIMURA
    To be honest, a human like me
    isn't going to know who's good looking
[20:21] UCHIMURA
    at demi-human and demon resumes.
[20:22] ULMANDRA
    If that's the case, use your intuition!
[20:24] ULMANDRA
    Just randomly pick someone!
[20:25] UCHIMURA
    I can't just do that...
[20:26] ULMANDRA
    W-What?
[20:28] UCHIMURA
    I was just thinking if only I could
     have chosen you, Ms. Ulmandra.
[20:32] ULMANDRA
    What?! D-Does that mean you
    want to be partners with me?!
[20:36] ULMANDRA
    But we've only just met.
    Isn't it a bit too soon?
[20:38] UCHIMURA
    Well, I've known you the longest, Ms. Ulmandra,
[20:39] ULMANDRA {Background}
    Well, now, if you really
    want to be with me,
[20:41] UCHIMURA
    and it'd be reassuring for it
     to be someone I already know.
[20:43] ULMANDRA {Background}
    then I guess I've no choice but to accept.
[20:43] UCHIMURA
    Coming!
[20:44] ULMANDRA {Background}
    As your partner...
[20:46] UCHIMURA
    I wonder who it is?
[20:48] OLULU
    Long time no see!
[20:50] UCHIMURA
    Ms. Olulu?! What's up?
[20:52] OLULU
    I was sent here as a representative
    from the Ogre Tribe
[20:55] OLULU
    for our alliance with the Demon Army.
[20:57] UCHIMURA
    I see. A personnel exchange.
[20:59] OLULU
    Mr. Uchimura.
[21:02] OLULU
    Thank you so much!
[21:03] OLULU
    Since then, my father has
    begun to delegate work
[21:06] OLULU
    to the most capable members of the clan.
[21:08] UCHIMURA
    Oh, he's started working on
    developing a successor, huh?
[21:11] OLULU
    Yes! Thanks to you, the entire Ogre Tribe
    seems to be able to make the change.
[21:15] OLULU
    If there's anything I can
    do for you, please tell me!
[21:18] UCHIMURA{M}
    Anything, you say?
[21:20] UCHIMURA
    If you don't mind, would you be
    interested in working with me?
[21:25] OLULU
    Oh, are you sure you want someone like me?
[21:28] UCHIMURA
    Of course. I'd gladly
    welcome you, Ms. Olulu.
[21:30] OLULU
    Just call me Olulu.
[21:32] UCHIMURA
    Then, pleased to have you on board, Olulu.
[21:35] OLULU
    Yes.
[21:38] UCHIMURA
    Again, pleased to be working
    with you, too, Ms. Ulmandra!
[21:41] ULMANDRA
    No, I'm your rival.
[21:43] ULMANDRA
    I've no intention of getting
     buddy-buddy with you.
[21:45] UCHIMURA
    Why?!
[21:46] UCHIMURA{M}
    Anyway, the Demon Army
    has expanded quite a bit
[21:49] UCHIMURA{M}
    because of this negotiation.
[21:51] UCHIMURA{M}
    Still... With every big return, there's
    always a risk that comes with it.
[21:56] UCHIMURA{M}
    We must be even more vigilant...

    Gorillas look strong, but they are
