[00:00] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
    I'm sorry.
[00:03] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
    We... I didn't make you a hero with the
    intention of making you feel this way.
[00:09] (Flashback) Hero Alan
    Why are you apologizing?
[00:12] (Flashback) Hero Alan
    It was my own obstinacy that landed me here.
[00:16] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
    You are the reason we were able to hold on
    to that which could have been lost
[00:20] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
    and countless people were spared bitter tears.
[00:24] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
    You were exactly the sort
     of hero I wished for.
[00:29] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
    Now, tell me your wish...
[00:32] (Flashback) Disciple Henriette
    our hero.
[00:40] Alan
    What a nostalgic dream.
[00:47] Lise
    Alan-kun! Good morning.
[00:50] Alan
    Morning.
[00:52] Lise
    Breakfast is ready.
    Why don't we eat together?
[00:55] Alan
    Where are the other two?
[00:57] Lise
    They haven't woken yet.
[00:59] Lise
    I was thinking of going to get them soon.
[01:02] Lise
    Good morning!
[01:09] Alan
    Could you at least get dressed
    before coming out?
[01:12] Noelle
    What does it matter?
[01:14] Noelle
    You've seen me in an
     even more compromising state.
[01:17] Lise
    A-A compromising state?!
[01:19] Lise
    Wh-Wh-Wh-What does she mean, Alan-kun?!
[01:24] Lise
    What compromising state?!
[01:25] Alan
    When will I find the sort of peace I seek?
[01:25] Lise
    Do you like that sort of thing?
[01:27] Lise
    Alan-kun, answer me!
[01:31] Lise
    So, basically...
[01:32] Lise
    she got hot working at the forge,
    so she took off some clothes, and that's all?
[01:36] Alan
    I didn't count myself lucky
     for seeing it, either.
[01:39] Noelle
    What's that supposed to mean? It's not like
    I do that in front of just anyone.
[01:44] Alan
    Yes, of course. I consider myself honored.
[01:46] Noelle
    Alan, hurry up and eat.
[01:49] Noelle
    You're testing out my new
    sword today, aren't you?
[01:52] Lise
    What?
[01:53] Lise
    But what about your promise to help
    me with ducal house paperwork?
[01:56] Mylène
    You're supposed to take
    a nap with Mylène today.
[01:59] Alan
    Huh? Did I make all those promises?
[02:03] Alan
    It's just, um...
[02:05] Nadia
    Alan-dono!
[02:07] Nadia
    Alan-dono, why do you never
    show your face at the guild?
[02:12] Nadia
    Just look at how the requests
    for you have piled up, Alan-dono!
[02:17] Alan
    Even so, I...
[02:19] Nadia
    Come with me this instant!
[02:21] Alan
    Wait!
[02:21] Noelle
    Hold it right there!
[02:23] Noelle
    Alan is supposed to test my sword!
[02:26] Lise
    And there's the paperwork!
[02:27] Mylène
    Our nap, too.
[02:29] Lise
    Now, Alan-kun, come with me!
[02:32] Nadia
    There's a swarm of powerful monsters
    that only Alan-dono can defeat!
[02:36] Nadia
    The place is in chaos!
[02:38] Noelle
    How is that my problem?
[02:41] Lise
    Alan-kun, I've been so
    looking forward to this!
[02:43] Alan
    Ow, ow, ow!
[02:46] Mylène
    Alan is going to take a nap with Mylène.
[02:50] Alan
    Um, what about how I feel about all this?
[02:57] Alan
    I somehow managed to do it all.
    I'm exhausted.
[03:02] Alan
    But I guess this is one way
     to live in peace...
[03:10] (Flashback) Lise
    What? You're going to travel to the empire?
[03:13] (Flashback) Alan
    I thought it'd be a good change of pace.
[03:16] (Flashback) Alan
    And if I find somewhere that seems
    nice to live, I might settle there.
[03:20] (Flashback) Lise
    I see...
[03:23] (Flashback) Mylène
    The empire?
[03:24] (Flashback) Noelle
    The Victour Empire.
[03:26] (Flashback) Noelle
    We have a truce right now,
[03:28] (Flashback) Noelle
    but they're a major power
    neighboring this kingdom.
[03:31] (Flashback) Noelle
    I've heard they've got lots
    of skilled dwarven smiths.
[03:34] (Flashback) Noelle
    I should learn a lot there!
[03:37] (Flashback) Alan
    Why are you talking
    like you're coming with me?
[03:40] (Flashback) Mylène
    Mylène is going too.
[03:43] (Flashback) Noelle
    What's another one
    or two people on the journey?
[03:47] (Flashback) Noelle
    With you of all people, it's not like
    we'd be much of a burden.
[03:50] (Flashback) Alan
    Well, I can't deny that.
[03:53] (Flashback) Noelle
    Then it's decided!
[03:56] (Flashback) Alan
    Lise, what will you do?
[03:58] (Flashback) Lise
    I have work to do for the duchy, so...

    The Imperial Marquis's Daughter
[05:36] Lise; Mylène; Noelle
    And we're off!
[05:40] Lise
    Take care of the duchy for me!
[05:44] Béatrice
    Lise-sama...
[05:47] Béatrice
    Lise-sama, take care of yourself!
[05:53] Noelle
    Are you sure it's okay for you to come?
[05:55] Noelle
    You may not be a princess anymore,
    but you're in charge of the duchy.
[06:00] Lise
    That's precisely my motivation.
[06:03] Lise
    The empire continues to harbor
    ambitions of uniting the continent.
[06:06] Lise
    Half a year ago, the chaos within our kingdom
     provided them the perfect chance to act,
[06:09] Lise
    and yet they showed no sign of movement.
[06:12] Lise
    The House of Westfelt is charged with
    protecting the kingdom's borders.
[06:16] Lise
    As its head, I must gain a true understanding
    of the empire's internal state of affairs!
[06:20] Noelle
    You could have at least had Béatrice
    accompany you as a guard.
[06:20] Béatrice
    Lise-sama! Lise-sama!
[06:25] Lise
    She said that if Alan-kun was with me,
    she'd rest easier
[06:27] Lise
    than if she accompanied me herself.
[06:30] Noelle
    Well, that's fair enough.
[06:32] Alan
    That's a lot of responsibility.
[06:35] Lise
    I'll be counting on you, Alan-kun.
[06:54] Noelle
    Honestly! I can't get any rest at all!
[06:58] Noelle
    There really isn't a smoother road somewhere?
[07:01] Lise
    The empire is surrounded by
    mountain ranges and deserts.
[07:04] Lise
    The paths in are very limited.
[07:19] Lise
    Alan-kun, is something wrong?
[07:22] Alan
    Yeah. This might be a little tricky.
[07:27] Lise
    Those are...
[07:29] Lise
    sand wolves!
[07:30] Noelle
    I've heard of those.
[07:32] Noelle
    Cross them, and you're as good as dead.
[07:35] Noelle
    They're also known as Desert Reapers.
[07:38] Mylène
    No escape.
[07:49] Alan
    Now, shall we get going?
[07:51] Noelle
    Well, it is Alan we're talking about.
[07:53] Lise
    It is Alan-kun, after all.
[07:54] Mylène
    Of course Alan can handle them.
[07:56] Alan
    I'd like a little bit of gratitude
     every now and then.
[08:00] Alan
    Still...
[08:02] Alan
    that was the perfect terrain
    to engage any intruders,
[08:05] Alan
    and we find Desert Reapers there?
[08:06] Alan
    Who could be manipulating things this time?
[08:23] Lise
    Incredible! This town is so far from the
    imperial capital, yet it's still so lively!
[08:28] Mylène
    That's the empire for you.
[08:29] Noelle
    A smithy! Where is there a smithy?
[08:32] Lise
    Alan-kun, is something wrong?
[08:34] Alan
    No. I was just thinking that the
    atmosphere is a little intimidating.
[08:40] Alan
    I know that this is a border town,
    but I feel like there are too many guards.
[08:45] Noelle
    You're overthinking things.
[08:47] Alan
    I hope that's all it is.
[08:51] Alan
    I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where—
[08:54] Alan
    Henriette.
[08:56] Henriette
    Alan?
[08:58] Alan
    It's been a while.
[09:00] Henriette
    What are you doing in a place like this?
[09:03] Alan
    I'd like to ask you the same thing.
[09:06] Alan
    For the daughter of a marquis to wander
    around town without a single attendant...
[09:10] Alan
    What circumstances could
    have led to this, I wonder?
[09:14] Henriette
    None of your business!
[09:16] Henriette
    And let go of me already!
[09:19] Alan
    Sorry.
[09:20] Noelle
    What? Is this cute girl
    an acquaintance of yours?
[09:24] Mylène
    Take that.
[09:26] Lise
    You're Lady Henriette from
    Marquis Lindqvist's family, aren't you?
[09:30] Henriette
    Princess Lise Adoastella...
[09:33] Henriette
    No, now you're the head of the
    duchy of Westfelt, aren't you?
[09:37] Henriette
    What brings such an esteemed
    personage here to the empire?
[09:41] Lise
    Well...
[09:43] Lise
    We're sightseeing!
[09:45] Henriette
    You're majorly bad at lying.
[09:48] Henriette
    It doesn't really matter.
[09:50] Henriette
    No further questions
    about why you've come here,
[09:54] Henriette
    but a warning for you...
[09:56] Alan
    A warning?
[09:58] Henriette
    The empire is smoldering with embers that
    could ignite and turn the country on its head.
[10:04] Henriette
    You should head home to your kingdom
    before you get caught up in it.
[10:08] Noelle
    What? We only just got here!
[10:11] Alan
    You say to head home, but I'm pretty
    much a rootless wanderer right now.
[10:14] Henriette
    What if you were told that the
    Black Wolf Knights are on the move?
[10:17] Henriette
    Would that tell you how dire things are?
[10:20] Alan
    The Black Wolf Knights?
[10:22] Noelle
    Who are they?
[10:23] Henriette
    The empire has authorized them
    to mobilize at their own discretion.
[10:27] Henriette
    They are the most feared unit
     in all the empire.
[10:31] Henriette
    It's best to have nothing
    to do with their lot.
[10:36] Henriette
    And so...
[10:38] Henriette
    Henriette will now take her leave.
[10:40] Henriette
    Please go home as soon as you can!
[10:43] Alan
    Thanks for the warning!
[10:45] Noelle
    Sounds like we came at a terrible time.
[10:48] Lise
    Bad enough the empire could
    be turned on its head...
[10:51] Lise
    What in the world is happening here?
[10:57] Lise
    Alan-kun?
[10:58] Alan
    I'll be right back!
    Go ahead and see the sights!
[11:10] Lise
    Shall we go sightseeing?
[11:18] Alan
    Henriette!
[11:20] Henriette
    Have you some other business here?
[11:21] Alan
    Yes, but not with you, Henriette.
[11:25] Henriette
    Huh?
[11:25] Alan
    I know you're you, but it's the disciple
    of the gods that I want to speak with.
[11:31] Alan
    Your warning earlier...
    Was that as the daughter of the marquis?
[11:35] Alan
    Or was it as a disciple of the gods?
[11:38] Henriette
    In our last life, you had a disciple
     always telling you what to do,
[11:42] Henriette
    but in this world,
    all you have is a girl named Henriette.
[11:47] Alan
    But you still have your powers
    as a disciple, don't you?
[11:50] Henriette
    With certain limitations.
[11:54] Henriette
    What is it?
[11:55] Alan
    I was just wondering how you also ended up
    in this world in the first place.
[12:03] Henriette
    It's almost like your destiny
    is to be drawn into trouble,
[12:07] Henriette
    so consider this a bonus!
[12:10] Alan
    So, basically, you were worried about me and—
[12:12] Henriette
    In any case!
[12:14] Henriette
    If you want to live peacefully,
[12:16] Henriette
    then hurry up and go home!
[12:20] Alan
    All right.
[12:22] Alan
    Henriette...
[12:25] Alan
    Thanks.
[12:27] Henriette
    A-As long as you understand.
[12:33] Alan
    I need to rejoin the others as soon as I can.
[12:38] crowd 1
    What was that?
[12:39] crowd 2
    Oh man...
[12:40] crowd 3
    An explosion?
[12:41] crowd 4
    What happened?
[12:42] Alan
    She was right. Looks like things
     are about to flare up.
[12:51] knights
    There! Don't let him get away!
[12:55] man
    Outta the way!
[12:57] Alan
    Destined to be drawn into trouble, huh?
[13:00] Alan
    Guess she's not really wrong about that.
[13:06] Alan
    Now, if I hand him over
    to the guards like this,
[13:08] Alan
    they're bound to ask lots of questions.
[13:11] Alan
    What should I do?
[13:25] Alan
    That was the work of demons!
[13:26] Lizette
    That man was the suspected culprit
    in that explosion earlier.
[13:34] Lizette
    Now, what sort of situation do we have here?
SIGN    THE BANISHED FORMER HERO
    LIVES AS HE PLEASES
[13:50] Lizette
    Mind telling me what happened here?
[13:53] Alan
    First, in my defense,
[13:55] Alan
    he attacked me. I merely counterattacked.
[13:58] Alan
    I didn't kill him.
[14:00] Lizette
    Your story doesn't seem
    to line up very well with the evidence.
[14:04] Lizette
    How did you kill him so gruesomely
    without using a weapon or your gift?
[14:09] Alan
    How can you tell I didn't use a gift?
[14:12] Lizette
    Mine is a little unusual, you see.
[14:14] Lizette
    I can see what gifts others have used.
[14:18] Alan
    Really?
[14:19] Lizette
    By the way, do you know
    about the existence of demons?
[14:22] Alan
    Of course.
[14:23] Lizette
    The powers they use resemble gifts,
     but they're altogether different.
[14:27] Lizette
    Meaning that I can't see them when used.
[14:32] Alan
    I'm not a demon.
[14:34] Alan
    Though I don't suppose you'll
    believe me even if I say that.
[14:37] Lizette
    Not a chance, unless you can prove it.
[14:40] Alan
    So, a real-life devil's proof issue, then?
[14:43] Lizette
    If you're not a demon, then I'm very sorry.
[14:46] Lizette
    But as a knight who protects this realm,
    I can't simply look the other way.
[14:51] Alan
    This is a problem.
[14:53] Alan
    If I fight and defeat her,
    that'd be like provoking the empire.
[14:57] Alan
    If I try to run, she seems like
    she'd really make that hard for me.
[15:02] Lizette
    Now then, you'll be coming with us.
[15:09] Lizette
    That was a mistake!
[15:11] black wolf A
    Captain!
[15:13] Lizette
    Close the borders immediately!
[15:15] black wolf A
    Yes, right away!
[15:19] Lizette
    If the kingdom learns of this incident,
     it would be a disaster.
[15:28] Alan
    You really saved me, Mylène.
[15:31] Alan
    But how did you know I was in trouble?
[15:34] Henriette
    Alan!
[15:37] Henriette
    I swear, you're so...
[15:38] Alan
    Henriette?
[15:40] Henriette
    Right after you were warned,
    you went and got yourself in trouble!
[15:44] Alan
    What do you mean?
[15:46] Lise
    Just as we started to worry because you
    were gone too long, Henriette came by.
[15:56] (Flashback) Lise
    Alan-kun is taking a while, isn't he?
[15:58] (Flashback) Mylène
    That's the twentieth cow, isn't it?
[16:00] (Flashback) Noelle
    Should we really go sightseeing?
    Or should we go looking—
[16:03] (Flashback) Henriette
    No need for that.
[16:06] (Flashback) Lise
    Lady Henriette?
[16:07] (Flashback) Henriette
    However, you're gonna be
    lending us your power.
[16:12] (Flashback) Mylène
    Mylène?
[16:15] Alan
    I see.
[16:17] Alan
    Mylène's gift is Copycat.
[16:19] Alan
    Her power is demonic in nature,
[16:21] Alan
    so she was able to evade that knight's gaze.
[16:24] Alan
    Very impressive, Henriette.
[16:26] Mylène
    Did Mylène do well, too?
[16:28] Alan
    You did very, very well.
[16:31] Alan
    Now, we should hurry up
    and leave this country.
[16:34] Henriette
    You don't appreciate your situation, do you?
[16:36] Alan
    What?
[16:37] Henriette
    All of the roads leading to your
    kingdom have already been closed.
[16:42] Lise
    That can't be!
[16:43] Alan
    Which means that we won't be
    able to go back for a while.
[16:47] Noelle
    Can't we slip through
    using Mylène's invisibility?
[16:50] Alan
    The knights aren't stupid. I don't think
    they'll fall for the same trick twice.
[16:55] Lise
    And with this many people,
    the strain on Mylène would be significant.
[17:04] Henriette
    Why are you looking at Henriette?
[17:07] Alan
    I was thinking you might
     be able to do something.
[17:10] Henriette
    Y-You're pretty presumptuous, aren't you?
[17:13] Henriette
    Although it's not as if
    there isn't a potential plan...
[17:20] Henriette
    This is Henriette's home.
[17:25] Silas
    Welcome home, my lady.
[17:28] Silas
    Who are your guests?
[17:29] Henriette
    They aren't guests, but please
    treat them as though they are.
[17:33] Silas
    As you wish.
[17:36] Silas
    Lord Alan?
[17:37] Alan
    Wait, Silas?
[17:38] Lise
    Do you know him?
[17:41] Alan
    Before I was kicked out of House Westfelt,
    Silas was the head butler there.
[17:46] Silas
    I am happy to see you again, Lord Alan.
[17:49] Alan
    I'm glad to see you're looking well!
[17:51] Alan
    I was worried where you might've ended up.
[17:54] Silas
    When we servants quit
    House Westfelt in protest,
[17:58] Silas
    this kindhearted young lady welcomed us here.
[18:03] Henriette
    Enough about that! That's enough!
[18:05] Henriette
    Hurry up and show these guys around!
[18:08] Silas
    As you wish.
[18:13] Noelle
    It's so fluffy!
[18:14] Mylène
    Fluffy, fluffy!
[18:16] Lise
    Stop that, you two!
[18:17] Henriette
    Please, make yourselves at home.
[18:20] Henriette
    Only Henriette lives here, after all.
[18:22] Alan
    You live in this huge mansion all alone?
[18:25] Henriette
    Henriette is an only child,
    and her parents are long gone.
[18:29] Henriette
    Apparently, there was
    an accident some time ago.
[18:32] Lise
    I'm so sorry.
[18:34] Noelle
    You make it sound so impersonal.
[18:36] Alan
    Well, getting straight to business,
    what's going on in this country?
[18:41] Alan
    All those guards, the closed border,
     the Black Wolf Knights...
[18:47] Henriette
    The emperor has been assassinated.
[18:51] Henriette
    It happened over a year ago.
[18:54] Lise
    So that's why the empire didn't make
    a move when the kingdom was in trouble.
[19:00] Henriette
    We're too busy dealing with our own problems.
[19:03] Noelle
    Hang on, hang on!
[19:04] Noelle
    Should you be blabbing such vital
    information to outsiders like this?
[19:09] Noelle
    You're the daughter
    of an imperial marquis, aren't you?
[19:12] Mylène
    Should we pretend we didn't hear?
[19:15] Henriette
    Henriette knows that you aren't people
    who'd carelessly speak someone's secrets.
[19:21] Lise
    You know that?
[19:22] Henriette
    In any case, you should stay here
    and relax until the commotion dies down.
[19:32] Alan
    I wish you'd at least
    come in through the door.
[19:36] Henriette
    What's the harm? We've been stuck with
     each other since our last life, after all.
[19:41] Alan
    This is all the doing of the demons, isn't it?
[19:44] Henriette
    Most likely.
[19:46] Henriette
    The emperor was under
    the strictest of guards.
[19:49] Henriette
    The only ones who could assassinate
    him without leaving a single trace...
[19:52] Henriette
    would be them or you.
[19:54] Alan
    In that case, you could too,
    right, Henriette?
[19:57] Henriette
    Snuffing out the emperor wouldn't
    be of any benefit to Henriette.
[20:02] Alan
    So, how long have you been watching?
[20:04] Henriette
    What do you mean?
[20:06] Alan
    You don't have to play dumb.
[20:08] Alan
    You've been watching me all this time, right?
[20:12] Alan
    If not, you wouldn't have been there
     to hire Silas and the others.
[20:16] Alan
    Also, bumping into me right after
    I entered the empire...
[20:19] Alan
    That's too coincidental to be a coincidence.
[20:22] Henriette
    C-Coincidences are coincidental!
[20:26] Alan
    That's true.
[20:32] Alan
    Henriette?
[20:33] Henriette
    Henriette is returning to her room.
[20:36] Alan
    Right.
[20:37] Alan
    Good night.
[20:47] Henriette
    So, you really can smile now.
[20:52] Henriette
    Alan, you were worthy
    of a hero's power and mission.
[20:56] Henriette
    I knew you had that sort
    of strong, unyielding heart.
[21:00] Henriette
    However...
[21:02] Henriette
    The looks of fear the people turned on you,
[21:04] Henriette
    their ostracizing words...
[21:06] Henriette
    They hurt you so deeply.
[21:09] Henriette
    They broke your heart.
[21:13] Henriette
    That's right.
[21:15] Henriette
    I couldn't help wondering about you.
[21:17] Henriette
    I was worried about you.
[21:20] Henriette
    That's why I reincarnated into this world.
[21:24] Henriette
    At the very least...
[21:26] Henriette
    I wanted you to be happy in your next life...
[21:30] Henriette
    I never wanted you to feel that way again,
[21:34] Henriette
    so I've been watching over you.
[21:37] Henriette
    Always.
[21:52] Henriette
    So when you met someone who
    could make you smile, I...
[21:58] Henriette
    was so happy.
[22:03] Henriette
    Even if...
[22:05] Henriette
    the fact that it wasn't me
     upsets me a little.
