[00:03] NEIA
    I'm sorry for being late!
[00:05] NEIA
    Thank you for having me today!
[00:07] UCHIMURA
    My apologies for inconveniencing you.
[00:09] UCHIMURA
    I was hoping you could assist us again.
[00:12] NEIA
    Yes, if there's anything I can do to help!
[00:17] SYLPHID
    And? What are we going to do now?
[00:18] SYLPHID
    Now that the audit failed,
    there isn't much we can do.
[00:22] UCHIMURA
    At least, we know the gim is
    not at the guild, and so...
[00:26] UCHIMURA
    I've devised a plan.
[00:28] UCHIMURA
    The name of the operation is...
[00:31] UCHIMURA
    Dragon Strike!

    The Sins and Punishments
    of an Evil Merchant
[02:08] NEIA
    Um... What do you mean by "Dragon Strike"?
[02:13] ULMANDRA
    It's done, Uchimura!
[02:15] OLULU
    It turned out really nicely.
[02:17] UCHIMURA
    Thank you so much, you two.
[02:19] UCHIMURA
    Now then, let's promptly... Hm?
[02:22] ULMANDRA
    Who is that woman?
[02:24] NEIA {M}
    Is that bloodlust?!
[02:25] UCHIMURA
    U-Um...
[02:27] SLYPHID
    Ms. Ulmandra.
[02:28] SLYPHID
    This little girl is an informant.
    Just an informant, so...
[02:32] ULMANDRA
    Hm?
[02:33] ULMANDRA
    Oh, is she?
[02:35] SYLPHID
    Yes.
[02:35] SYLPHID {M}
    Well, Uchimura does have a
    thing for lolitas, but yeah.
[02:38] OLULU
    Ms. Ulmandra, quickly show it.
[02:41] ULMANDRA
    Oh, right.
[02:43] ULMANDRA
    Look!
[02:43] ULMANDRA
    This is the masterpiece created overnight
    with the cooperation from the Ogre Tribe!
[02:47] ULMANDRA
    It's smoked wyvern!
[02:50] NEIA
    Huh?
[02:52] UCHIMURA
    You're right, it did come out nicely.
[02:54] OLULU
    It's made using a secret recipe, smoked
    with herbs that compliment it well.
[02:58] ULMANDRA
    I heard it has an unorthodox taste,
     but I'm telling ya, it's delicious.
[03:02] UCHIMURA
    We've already made a large amount.
[03:06] UCHIMURA
    Distribute it to various places
    to solve the food shortage.
[03:10] UCHIMURA
    This is what Operation Dragon Strike is.
[03:13] NEIA
    Oh...
[03:14] NEIA
    Oh, I see! What a wonderful plan!
[03:18] NEIA
    Please allow me to help with it, too!
[03:21] NEIA
    How do you plan on distributing it?
[03:23] UCHIMURA
    Oh, for that, we—
[03:25] SYLPHID
    Wait.
[03:26] SYLPHID
    Let's talk about that later.
[03:27] UCHIMURA
    Huh? Oh...
[03:30] NEIA
    Oh...
[03:32] NEIA {M}
    Just as I thought.
[03:33] NEIA {M}
    This lady is suspicious of me...
[03:36] NEIA {M}
    But, I can't back down now.
[03:44] NEIA {M}
    Here it is...
[03:50] SYLPHID
    You think I'd let you get away?
[03:52] SYLPHID
    Just as I thought, it was you.
[03:55] SYLPHID
    Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
[03:57] SYLPHID
    Fooling people, deceiving them...
[04:00] SYLPHID
    At the very least, Uchimura believed in you!
[04:03] NEIA
    I don't have to take this from you...
[04:06] NEIA
    Everything is your fault!
[04:08] SYLPHID
    What?
[04:13] NEIA {M}
    Someone like you, who was
    born in a privileged home
[04:16] NEIA {M}
    and willingly threw it away,
    will never understand!
[04:20] VIPER
    Oh? A smoked wyvern, huh?
[04:24] NEIA
    Yes, it seems the distribution
    will start tomorrow.
[04:27] VIPER
    I can't imagine it replacing gim, but...
[04:30] VIPER
    Even so, I suppose if their stomachs are full,
    they won't be buying at a high price anymore.
[04:34] VIPER
    What a nuisance...
[04:36] VIPER
    And? Where will they start distributing?
[04:39] NEIA {M}
    They're planning to
    start in the center of town...
[04:42] NEIA {M}
    I'm sure the guild master
    plans on sabotaging it.
[04:48] NEIA
    According to their plans...
[04:49] NEIA
    They'll distribute
    the food in the suburbs first.
[04:52] NEIA
    The center of town will be at a later time.
[04:55] VIPER
    Hmph.
[04:57] NEIA {M}
    A small lie...
[04:58] NEIA {M}
    If I stretch the truth, he'll accept it.
[05:04] NEIA {M}
    This is all I can do to resist right now...
[05:10] NEIA {M}
    Taste the poisonous fangs of the oppressed!
[05:13] VIPER
    Oh?
[05:14] VIPER
    They're starting from the suburbs, huh...
[05:17] VIPER
    You thought you could
    outsmart the guild master?
[05:20] VIPER
    You little rat!
[05:22] VIPER
    From the suburbs, you say?
[05:24] VIPER
    Can't be!
[05:25] VIPER
    Considering the cost for transportation,
[05:28] VIPER
    starting from the center of
    town is the ideal choice.
[05:30] NEIA
    P-Perhaps, they're trying to outsmart us?
[05:33] NEIA
    Mr. Uchimura would surely...
[05:34] VIPER
    Nah.
[05:35] VIPER
    Dennosuke Uchimura wouldn't
    commit such a folly.
[05:40] VIPER
    Not what you were expecting?
[05:42] VIPER
    Trust the enemy...
[05:43] VIPER
    But, I knew at first glance.
[05:45] VIPER
    He may be a softy, but he isn't
    the type to act irrationally...
[05:50] VIPER
    That's why I trusted him.
[05:52] VIPER
    More than you...
[05:54] VIPER
    Well...
[05:55] VIPER
    If they're starting the
    distribution tomorrow,
[05:57] VIPER
    there's no need to worry
    about it either way.
[06:00] NEIA
    What?
[06:01] VIPER
    He's expecting us to grow impatient
     and sell the gim for cheap, isn't he?
[06:07] VIPER
    But too bad.
[06:09] VIPER
    Tomorrow morning, the caravan will return.
[06:11] VIPER
    When the citizens at the peak of starvation
[06:13] VIPER
    see horse-drawn carriages full of
     gim to be put out on the market,
[06:16] VIPER
    they will surely buy it
    even at a high price!
[06:19] VIPER
    Then the smoked meat will be handed out
     and have absolutely no effect on us.
[06:25] VIPER
    All wasted! The plan! The effort!
[06:27] VIPER
    Everything will be for nothing!
[06:29] VIPER
    I can't stop laughing!
[06:31] VIPER
    It was over from the start, regardless
    of your underhanded tactics!
[06:39] NEIA {M}
    It was all... for nothing...
[06:42] NEIA {M}
    I should have just done
    what I was told to do...
[06:46] VIPER
    Now then, it's punishment time.
[06:48] VIPER
    Since you can't be used as a spy anymore...
[06:52] VIPER
    I know.
[06:55] VIPER
    I'm gonna break you.
[06:57] SYLPHID
    You should hold off on
    the distribution plans.
[07:00] SYLPHID
    By now, Viper should already
    know of our plans.
[07:04] SYLPHID
    Do you understand?
[07:06] SYLPHID
    Neia was a spy all along.
[07:08] UCHIMURA
    I knew from the start.
[07:10] SYLPHID
    What?
[07:11] UCHIMURA
    When we first met her, I saw
    a bruise on her chest.
[07:16] SYLPHID
    A bruise?
[07:18] UCHIMURA
    Then, when I told her to pick out clothes,
     she chose some that showed little skin...
[07:24] UCHIMURA
    Even though she's a demon.
[07:26] UCHIMURA
    So I assume she must
    have bruises all over her body.
[07:30] SYLPHID
    Oh... You were observing her...
[07:34] SYLPHID
    I thought you were just into lolitas.
[07:36] UCHIMURA
    What?
[07:37] SYLPHID
    N-Never mind. Continue.
[07:41] UCHIMURA
    She's being abused by Viper.
[07:45] UCHIMURA
    But she didn't tell us that.
[07:49] SYLPHID
    But, you couldn't have known
    she was a spy just from that.
[07:53] UCHIMURA
    You're right.
[07:54] UCHIMURA
    What convinced me was...
[07:55] UCHIMURA
    Her eyes.
[07:57] SYLPHID
    Eyes?
[07:58] UCHIMURA
    Yes...
[07:59] UCHIMURA
    During my salaryman years...
[08:00] COLLEAGUE MAN A {overlap}
    I'll try asking everyone if they
    have any other better ideas.
[08:01] UCHIMURA
    There were three colleagues
    I was very close to.
[08:03] COLLEAGUE WOMAN B
    Yeah, good idea.
[08:04] COLLEAGUE MAN C
    Yep.
[08:05] COLLEAGUE MAN A
    Hey! Uchimura.
[08:05] UCHIMURA
    We all worked hard, trying to
    change the old-fashioned company.
[08:07] COLLEAGUE MAN A {overlap}
    At this rate, we'll be able
    to move along quickly.
[08:10] COLLEAGUE MAN C
    Nice!
[08:10] UCHIMURA
    But...

SIGN    Regarding the contract
    
     Were you able to get a contract?
    
     Please send me the report.
     You haven't reached your goal for this month
    at all.
    
     You weren't able to get a contract last
    month either.
    
     I even thoroughly taught you how to do it
     and you haven't improved at all.
    
     Out of all the people I've taught, you're the first.
    
     Results are all that matters.
    
     Are you sure you're putting all your effort
    into this?
    
     Why can't you do it?
[08:13] UCHIMURA
    Power harassment.
[08:15] (Flashback) COLLEAGUE MAN A
    I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
[08:15] BOSS {overlap}
    A hundred more times.
[08:17] UCHIMURA
    Demotion.
[08:20] UCHIMURA
    Harassment where they make
    you do useless work.
[08:23] UCHIMURA
    It piled on one after another
[08:24] UCHIMURA
    as the spark in their eyes
[08:27] UCHIMURA
    faded away...
[08:28] UCHIMURA
    They had the same look
    in their eyes as Ms. Neia.
[08:33] UCHIMURA
    The kind that tries to read people's faces,
    searches for ways to get away when cornered,
[08:36] UCHIMURA
    and desperately tries to survive.
[08:40] SYLPHID
    That's why...
[08:41] SYLPHID
    Even when you thought she was
    a spy, you showed her mercy.
[08:44] SYLPHID
    A softy, as always.
[08:46] SYLPHID
    Well, even if that's fine, how do
    you want to handle this situation?
[08:51] UCHIMURA
    Yes, our opponent knows of all our plans.
[08:55] UCHIMURA
    Then, what's left is...
[08:56] VIPER
    A speed competition...
[08:59] VIPER
    Is what Mr. Uchimura is probably thinking.
[09:02] VIPER
    However, the caravan with
    the gim is almost here.
[09:07] VIPER
    It can certainly be sold out before
    the wyvern is distributed.
[09:12] VIPER
    We have the upper hand here.
[09:14] VIPER
    I can't wait for tomorrow.
[09:18] VIPER
    I want to see the despair
     on my big sister's face.
[09:20] VIPER
    And besides that...
[09:22] VIPER
    there's one more fun thing
    to look forward to as well.
[09:33] UNDERLING A
    Lord Viper!
[09:35] UNDERLING A
    Lord Viper! Please wake up!
[09:38] VIPER
    Shut up! What could you
    possibly want at this hour?!
[09:40] VIPER
    Imma break your neck!
[09:42] UNDERLING A
    I-I'm sorry...
[09:43] UNDERLING A
    U-Um, the gim is...
[09:45] VIPER
    Huh?
[09:46] VIPER
    If you're reporting that it's
    arrived, then don't bother.
[09:49] VIPER
    The sale's already been arranged.
[09:51] UNDERLING A
    No, it still hasn't arrived...
[09:53] VIPER
    What, it's late? Well, I
    guess it can't be helped.
[09:56] VIPER
    It'll get here soon.
[09:58] UNDERLING A
    Um, it's not about that, sir...
[10:01] UNDERLING A
    You see, the Demon Army is distributing...
[10:03] VIPER
    Huh?
[10:04] VIPER
    Did they start distributing the smoked
    wyvern earlier than planned?!
[10:08] UNDERLING A
    N-No, sir. The Demon Army isn't distributing
     the smoked wyvern, but the gim!
[10:15] VIPER
    Wha... What did you say?!
[10:16] OLULU
    These are supplies from the Demon Army!
[10:18] OLULU
    Please line up!
[10:20] ULMANDRA
    You don't have to be hasty!
[10:22] ULMANDRA
    There's a lot of it!
[10:25] VIPER
    What's going on?
[10:26] VIPER
    Why does the Demon Army have so much gim?!
[10:29] SYLPHID
    You want to know?
[10:30] VIPER
    What?!
[10:35] VIPER
    Big Sister...
[10:36] VIPER
    Why are you here?
[10:38] SYLPHID
    I figured I should tell you, my carefree
    half-brother, the situation at hand.
[10:43] SYLPHID
    All the gim in the country has
    been monopolized by the guild.
[10:47] SYLPHID
    So then what do we do?
[10:49] SYLPHID
    The answer is simple, don't you think?
[10:51] VIPER
    Did you...
[10:52] SYLPHID
    We imported it from a
    neighboring country...
[10:54] SYLPHID
    By asking a merchant who has a
    close relationship with Uchimura.
[10:57] SYLPHID
    We were then able to
    transport large amounts
[11:00] SYLPHID
    via cart with cooperation
    from a demi-human acquaintance.
[11:03] SYLPHID
    It's all thanks to Uchimura's connections.
[11:05] SYLPHID
    It allowed us to quickly
    prepare large amounts of gim.
[11:08] VIPER
    So the thing about the smoked wyvern
    was all false information...
[11:11] SYLPHID
    Oh, we made the smoked meat.
[11:13] SYLPHID
    That neighboring country considers
     smoked wyvern a delicacy.
[11:17] SYLPHID
    That's why we used it as a bargaining chip.
[11:20] SYLPHID
    In other words...
[11:21] SYLPHID
    It was a barter trade.
[11:23] SYLPHID
    The Demon Army was able to acquire
    large amounts of gim without using money.
[11:28] SYLPHID
    This is what Operation Dragon Strike is!
[11:32] VIPER
    Th-That... That's a bunch of bull!
[11:36] VIPER
    There's no way you could import that
    much gim in this short amount of time!
[11:39] VIPER
    It's a lie!
[11:40] VIPER
    You're bluffing!
[11:41] VIPER
    Uchimura thinks just like me!
[11:44] VIPER
    He must have stolen it from somewhere!
[11:46] VIPER
    Isn't that right?! Huh, Big Sister?!
[11:48] SYLPHID
    Between you and Uchimura...
[11:50] SYLPHID
    he's on a whole different level.
[11:54] SYLPHID
    It's impossible to import
    that much on short notice.
[11:56] SYLPHID
    Absolutely.
[11:57] SYLPHID
    That's why... we had it done in advance.
[12:00] SYLPHID
    Ever since the day you
    requested to meet with us.
[12:03] VIPER
    Huh?! Then why did he
    want to buy it from me?
[12:07] VIPER
    He even lowered his head and groveled!
[12:08] SYLPHID
    In order to get our citizens the food
    supply they need as soon as possible.
[12:12] SYLPHID
    We've been working through that short time
[12:14] SYLPHID
    before the import so that
    people don't have to wait.
[12:18] SYLPHID
    Funny, isn't it?
[12:19] SYLPHID
    Because your harassment was
    pointless all along...
[12:23] SYLPHID
    You were made to dance in Uchimura's hand.
[12:29] SYLPHID
    You lose.
[12:31] SYLPHID
    The gim is now something
    you can get for free.
[12:34] SYLPHID
    You invested your own money
    into buying that gim, right?
[12:37] SYLPHID
    You can't collect from it anymore.
[12:39] SYLPHID
    All that's left is bankruptcy.
[12:44] VIPER
    Bankruptcy, you say?!
[12:46] VIPER
    You think you caught me in your trap?!
    You think you tricked me?!
[12:50] VIPER
    Idiot!
[12:51] VIPER
    It hardly damaged me!
[12:54] SYLPHID
    I won't let you escape!
[13:00] SYLPHID
    Bodyguards, huh?
[13:02] SYLPHID
    Well, I bought us more than enough time.
[13:08] SYLPHID
    Tch... They're using a combination of
    magic and martial arts.
[13:10] SYLPHID
    I guess it can't be helped.
[13:12] SYLPHID
    I brought it to hand to
    Uchimura just in case, but...
[13:20] SYLPHID
    Let's take it for a test drive!
[13:29] SYLPHID
    It's a sword that utilizes the
    Rosemarin to absorb magical power.
[13:33] SYLPHID
    And that absorbed magical
    power can be reused!
[13:39] SYLPHID
    There's a slight damping in the power.
[13:41] SYLPHID
    I'll work on that next.
[13:43] SYLPHID
    Well, still...
[13:52] SYLPHID
    It's a needless weapon for me.
[13:55] VIPER {M}
    Damn it!
[13:57] VIPER {M}
    This is certainly a huge loss...
[13:58] VIPER {M}
    But I am the guild master.
[14:01] VIPER {M}
    As long as I have this position, I can
    attempt it again as much as I want!
[14:04] VIPER {M}
    The public easily heats up and cools down.
[14:07] VIPER {M}
    I just have to lie low until
    things settle down, then...
[14:10] VIPER
    I will rise once again!
[14:14] VIPER
    Huh?!
[14:20] VIPER {M}
    Uchimura?!
[14:21] VIPER {M}
    And the merchants?
[14:23] UCHIMURA
    Ah, Mr. Viper.
[14:25] UCHIMURA
    We just finished the vote.
[14:28] VIPER
    Vote?
[14:29] UCHIMURA
    As of this very moment...
[14:32] UCHIMURA
    You are no longer the guild master.
[14:34] VIPER
    What?! What are you talking about?!
[14:36] UCHIMURA
    The majority of the merchants in the guild
    have voted in favor of your dismissal.
[14:43] UCHIMURA
    Including the officers, all members of
    the Lordpent Family will be exiled.
[14:48] UCHIMURA
    Here. Here are the results of the vote.
[14:53] VIPER
    Stop messing around!
[14:54] VIPER
    There's no way I can accept this!
[14:56] VIPER
    Who was it?! Who voted for my dismissal?!
[14:59] VIPER
    I'll know right away since
     your names are on the ballots!
[15:03] VIPER
    I'll make you—
[15:04] UCHIMURA
    Don't you understand?
[15:05] VIPER
    Huh?!
[15:06] UCHIMURA
    Everyone decided to vote despite the risk...
[15:14] UCHIMURA
    After hearing what she had to say.
[15:16] VIPER
    What...
[15:22] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
    Ms. Neia!
[15:24] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
    So this is where you are.
[15:25] (Flashback) NEIA
    Mr... Uchimura?
[15:30] (Flashback) NEIA
    Thank you... so much...
[15:33] (Flashback) NEIA
    Um, Mr. Uchimura—
[15:35] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
    There isn't much time.
[15:36] (Flashback) NEIA
    What?
[15:37] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
    Outside, I've gathered the guild merchants.
[15:41] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
    Do you understand what I'm
    asking of you, Ms. Neia?
[15:44] (Flashback) NEIA
    Oh...
[15:45] (Flashback) NEIA
    Yes, please take me to them.
[15:55] (Flashback) NEIA
    These are all the injuries I've gotten
    from him... Viper Lordpent.
[16:00] (Flashback) NEIA
    He's wounded my body and my mind.
[16:04] (Flashback) NEIA
    And at this rate... he'll hurt the guild
    and this country, just as he did to me.
[16:12] (Flashback) NEIA
    Please!
[16:13] (Flashback) NEIA
    Please help us!
[16:15] (Flashback) NEIA
    We need to take back this
    guild from him, from them!
[16:21] (Flashback) MERCHANTS
    Yeah!
[16:23] VIPER
    Stop spewing nonsense!
[16:25] VIPER
    Merchants only act to benefit themselves!
[16:28] VIPER
    They don't act on sympathy!
[16:30] UCHIMURA
    But it's the truth.
[16:31] UCHIMURA
    If they're driven by self-interest, it's only
    natural that they act on their conscience, too.
[16:36] VIPER
    Neia! You understand where
    you stand, don't you?!
[16:39] VIPER
    You know what'll happen
    to your parents...
[16:41] NEIA
    Shut up!
[16:41] VIPER
    Huh?
[16:42] NEIA
    I'm not going to obey you anymore!
[16:45] NEIA
    I'll protect my father and mother!
[16:49] UCHIMURA
    You're no longer welcome to
     do business in our country.
[16:53] UCHIMURA
    You're the one who doesn't understand
    where you stand, Mr. Viper!
[17:01] VIPER
    Please... Mr. Uchimura.
[17:03] VIPER
    Surely, you understand, don't you?
[17:05] VIPER
    I took a risk, planted a seed,
    and it bore fruit.
[17:09] VIPER
    That's all. Please don't
    take it away from me.
[17:12] VIPER
    You and I are alike. Our
    thoughts. Our circumstances.
[17:15] VIPER
    I don't mind working under you for free!
[17:18] VIPER
    So please...
[17:19] VIPER {M}
    This guy is a softy...
[17:20] VIPER {M}
    I heard he forgave that Butagalian
    despite his wrongdoings.
[17:25] VIPER {M}
    Just have to pull at his heartstrings.
[17:27] VIPER
    Please!
[17:28] VIPER
    Let me atone for my sins, Mr. Uchimura!
[17:33] UCHIMURA
    You beg for atonement,
    but I hear hints of self-pity.
[17:38] UCHIMURA
    How do you plan on atoning
    with all that arrogance?
[17:42] UCHIMURA
    You've hurt many people.
[17:44] UCHIMURA
    A sin for a sin.
[17:46] UCHIMURA
    As one of the Four Elite Generals,
    I will detain you.
[17:49] VIPER
    You commoner!
[17:51] VIPER
    Getting all uppity just
    because I humbled myself!
[17:53] VIPER
    I'm different from you people!
[17:55] VIPER
    I risked everything for this position!
[17:57] VIPER
    I'll never give it up!
[17:59] VIPER
    If only you weren't here...
[18:02] VIPER
    Uchimura!
[18:09] SYLPHID
    Hm, works perfectly as
    a normal sword as well.
[18:11] SYLPHID
    Go me.
[18:13] SYLPHID
    I told you.
[18:15] SYLPHID
    Between Uchimura and you, he's
    on a whole different level.
[18:18] SYLPHID
    You lose, Viper.
[18:24] UCHIMURA
    After further investigation,
    you will be judged.
[18:28] VIPER
    You think you've won?
[18:31] VIPER
    It's true that I incited those fools
    into raising the price of the gim.
[18:35] VIPER
    Still, I didn't lie about it!
[18:37] UCHIMURA
    What?
[18:40] VIPER
    Everything is going to end!
[18:42] VIPER
    Oh, it's coming to this country as well!
[18:44] VIPER
    The calamity!
[18:48] SYLPHID
    Take him away.
[18:49] SOLDIER
    Yes, ma'am!
[18:50] VIPER
    It's the end! The end!
[18:52] UCHIMURA {M}
    The calamity... is coming...?
[18:54] NEIA
    Um... Mr. Uchimura.
[18:56] NEIA
    I'm truly sorry for betraying your trust.
[18:59] NEIA
    Please, give me my punishment.
[19:05] UCHIMURA
    In that case, will you come to the
    castle with us right now?
[19:11] NEIA
    Huh?
[19:12] NEIA
    Me, be a secretary?
[19:14] UCHIMURA
    Yes. I'd like you to come work for me.
[19:17] NEIA
    But, I was a spy, and...
[19:19] UCHIMURA
    You'll atone for your sins by working.
[19:21] UCHIMURA
    You're more useful to us
    working than locked up.
[19:25] NEIA
    But...
[19:26] UCHIMURA
    ...Is just an excuse.
[19:28] UCHIMURA
    In actuality, I made a deal.
[19:30] NEIA
    A deal?
[19:31] UCHIMURA
    The guild's gim was supposed to return
    early this morning, but it arrived late.
[19:36] UCHIMURA
    The lead carriage overturning was
    the cause of the delay.
[19:39] UCHIMURA
    That sealed our victory.
[19:43] UCHIMURA
    The one in charge of the
    carriage... was your father.
[19:47] NEIA
    What?
[19:48] UCHIMURA
    Your father betrayed the
    Lordpent Family for you.
[19:52] UCHIMURA
    And in exchange for cooperating
    with the investigation,
[19:56] UCHIMURA
    he asked that we take you into our custody.
[19:58] NEIA
    And that's why I'll be your secretary?
[20:00] UCHIMURA
    The guild will now have to
    be rebuilt from the ground up.
[20:05] UCHIMURA
    A lot of things will need to be done.
[20:07] UCHIMURA
    And I'd like to have as many
    talented individuals as possible.
[20:10] UCHIMURA
    You'll accept the position, won't you?
[20:13] NEIA
    Yes... Thank you so much, Mr. Uchimura!
[20:17] UCHIMURA
    Come in.
[20:18] OLULU
    Excuse my interruption.
[20:21] OLULU
    It's about the schedule for
    the guild investigation...
[20:23] UCHIMURA
    Olulu, perfect timing.
[20:26] UCHIMURA
    Let me introduce you.
[20:27] UCHIMURA
    This is Neia, our new secretary.
[20:29] OLULU
    Oh, we meet again!
[20:31] OLULU
    Once again, I am Olulu.
[20:34] NEIA
    So cool...
[20:36] NEIA
    I look forward to working
    with you, Big Sister!
[20:39] OLULU
    Big Sister?!
[20:40] NEIA
    What should I do?
[20:42] NEIA
    Please tell me anything!
[20:44] OLULU
    Um, then, first I'll show
    you around the castle,
[20:46] OLULU
    so please try to remember
    the different things.
[20:49] NEIA
    Yes, ma'am!
[20:58] MASTER
    You seem like you're in a good mood today.
[21:01] UCHIMURA
    Yes... It's really nice to see someone
    regain the sparkle in their eyes.
[21:07] COLLEAGUE MAN C
    Hey, well if it isn't
    Uchimura! Long time no see!
[21:10] COLLEAGUE WOMAN B
    You should come drink with us over here!
[21:13] UCHIMURA
    Yeah.
[21:15] COLLEAGUE WOMAN B
    Listen to this, Uchimura.
[21:16] COLLEAGUE WOMAN B
    I started my own business.
[21:17] COLLEAGUE WOMAN B
    But it's a small company.
[21:19] COLLEAGUE MAN A
    I took over my parents' business.
[21:21] COLLEAGUE MAN A
    There's more to agriculture
    than you'd think.
[21:23] COLLEAGUE MAN C
    I'm still at the company.
[21:25] COLLEAGUE MAN C
    I stayed persistent.
[21:27] COLLEAGUE MAN C
    Now, I'm in a position where
    I can state an opinion or two.
[21:29] UCHIMURA
    Is that right?
[21:30] COLLEAGUE MAN A
    And? What are you doing, Uchimura?
[21:33] UCHIMURA
    I...
[21:36] UCHIMURA
    have a very rewarding job.
[21:38] NEIA
    Mr. Uchimura... Mr. Uchimura!
[21:41] UCHIMURA
    Oh...
[21:42] NEIA
    It seems that there is an urgent summons
    from the Demon Overlord.
[21:45] OLULU
    It looks like it's an emergency.
[21:48] UCHIMURA
    What...
[21:51] DEMON OVERLORD
    It's finally about to come...
[21:55] DEMON OVERLORD
    The calamity.

[23:41] MASTER

    Hm... the light of the red lantern.
