[00:10] Chiho
Please be quiet, Hii...
[00:13] Maou
That thing's dangerous. Hey, Ashiya.
[00:16] Maou
Take Chi, Hitoshi, and Ms. Hinako
and go rendezvous with Mr. Kazuma.
[00:20] Maou
Emi and I will keep the bear occupied.
[00:22] Ashiya
Understood.
[00:24] Ashiya
Come with me.
[00:27] Maou
Let's do this, Emi.
[00:33] Emi
I hope this is enough
to make it leave, but...
[00:50] Maou
E-Emi! Are you okay?!
[00:52] Emi
I am absolutely not okay!
[00:55] Kazuma
Hinako! Hitoshi!
[00:58] Kazuma
Wh-What's going on?
[01:01] Emi
Why is this happening?!
[01:24] Alas Ramus
Mama's so cool! Bear went slam!

SIGN YOUNG WOMAN DEFEATS LOCAL BEAR
[03:04] Urushihara
"Woman working at local farm
grapples with bear and sends it flying."
[03:09] Urushihara
Wonder who tipped them off.
[03:18] Hinako
We don't know anything about it.
[03:20] Hinako
Could you please leave?
[03:24] Urushihara
Ha, you're lucky no one
got a picture of you.
[03:27] Urushihara
Holing up here wouldn't have been enough.
[03:31] Emi
I wouldn't have had to fight
a bear in the first place
[03:35] Emi
if it weren't for that driver's dumb stunt!
[03:39] Suzuno
Good Emi, good Hanzo,
what's all this commotion?
[03:44] Suzuno
Good Kazuma.
[03:47] Kazuma
Sorry, but can we talk?
[03:59] Kazuma
Thank you so, so much
for protecting Hinako and Hitoshi!
[04:03] Emi
Huh? Um, you're welcome.
[04:06] Kazuma
Rest up, Miss Yusa. You deserve it.
[04:13] Suzuno
I was ready to tamper with his memories
if he said the wrong thing.
[04:20] Suzuno
However, neither he nor the good Hinako
[04:23] Suzuno
disclosed details of the fight even
to me, let alone the public.
[04:29] Suzuno
Perhaps it has to do with your
friendship with the good Chiho.
[04:34] Emi
Oh...
[04:36] Suzuno
Still, I suppose you may not enjoy
the nickname "Bear-slayer."
[04:41] Emi
What?!
[04:42] Emi
Wait a minute, Bel.
What do you mean, nickname?!
[04:46] Urushihara
"Bear-slayer"!
[04:48] Suzuno
I-It's just, the Devil and Alciel
are calling you that.
[04:53] Emi
How dare he?!
[04:55] Suzuno
Emilia, wait, calm down!
[04:57] Suzuno
He and Alciel went out with the good Manji!
[05:00] Emi
Let go of me, Bel! Where is Alas Ramus?!
[05:04] Emi
Tell me she's not with the Devil!
[05:05] Suzuno
She's napping with
Hitoshi downstairs! Worry not!
[05:09] Emi
I'm worrying!
[05:11] Emi
If Alas Ramus ever said, "Mama,
you're the Bear-slayer,"
[05:14] Emi
I could never recover!
[05:17] Urushihara
Aren't you the "dark lord"-slaying
Hero already? What's the difference?
[05:21] Emi
Don't you smirk like you
just said something smart!
[05:30] Maou
This is the last one.
[05:31] Manji
Great, thanks.
[05:33] Ashiya
Mr. Manji!
[05:35] Ashiya
Most of the weeding is done.
[05:36] Manji
Roger that. Good work, boys.
[05:40] Maou
I hope things go well.
[05:42] Manji
My body's gettin' too old for this.
[05:45] Manji
Wish I could retire and leave
the rest to Kazuma...
[05:49] Manji
But he and Yumiko are workin'
too hard for me to let up.
[05:52] Maou
Really?
[05:53] Manji
Yumiko started expandin' the business,
[05:56] Manji
and she inspired our son to go study
business and agriculture in Tokyo.
[06:03] Maou
Wow.
[06:04] Manji
They've got us doin' three times
the business we did in my dad's day.
[06:08] Maou
Three times?! That's amazing!
[06:10] Manji
Kazuma borrowed some experimental
solar panels from his university
[06:13] Manji
and put 'em on land that we can't farm.
SIGN Pesticide-free vegetables
straight from the farm
[06:16] Manji
He sells organic vegetables
directly to Tokyo restaurants,
[06:21] Manji
and even gets people to buy the
misfits for some pocket change
[06:24] Manji
when we used to have to throw them away.
[06:26] Ashiya
Ah, are those solar panels
next to us the ones?
[06:30] Manji
Yep, that's them.
[06:32] Manji
The electricity they generate
runs our greenhouse fans.
[06:36] Manji
They help us manage the
temperature and humidity inside.
[06:41] Manji
All the greenhouses in this area
get their electricity from there.
[06:49] Maou
I think I get why the demon realm
warred nonstop before I united it.
[06:58] Ashiya
Your Majesty?
[06:59] Maou
As long as there's enough
magic in the atmosphere,
[07:02] Maou
demons don't need to eat.
[07:04] Maou
I bet a world that doesn't produce
food can't create societies.
[07:10] Manji
Hey!
[07:11] Manji
Time to go back!
[07:13] Manji
Let's eat dinner and have our baths!
[07:17] Maou
I am hungry.
[07:25] Manji
Huh?
[07:26] Onda
I hear there've been victims in Miyada, too.
[07:28] Manji
Well, hello there!
[07:31] Onda
Ah, Manji, perfect timing.
[07:35] Onda
I don't believe I've met those two.
[07:38] Manji
Oh, they're the part-timers from
Tokyo that Senichi recommended.
[07:41] Manji
Mr. Maou and Mr. Ashiya.
[07:44] Manji
And this is Mr. Onda, president
of the neighborhood association.
[07:47] Onda
Guess they check out, then.
[07:51] Onda
See, someone's been
robbing fields around here.
[07:53] Onda
They've hit several farms.
Mostly they take fruit.
[07:58] Maou
He said the stolen produce
is stuff like watermelons,
[08:01] Maou
high-unit-price fruit,
and regional specialty vegetables.
[08:04] Maou
And they stole a lot.
[08:05] Ashiya
The Sasaki farm has watermelons
and specialty tomatoes.
[08:09] Urushihara
It's made the news. Not any
front pages, though.
[08:13] Urushihara
I say just do a patrol tonight.
[08:16] Emi
It's too much ground to cover easily.
[08:19] Emi
We don't know the culprit's MO
or whether they're even coming.
[08:22] Ashiya
True. We've got an early day tomorrow,
[08:26] Ashiya
and there aren't enough of us
to patrol the whole farm.
[08:30] Maou
Chi, did Mr. Kazuma and the others
say anything about a plan?
[08:34] Chiho
They said they'd think
about countermeasures,
[08:37] Chiho
but they didn't say they'd patrol at night.
[08:41] Suzuno
What are you thinking, Devil?
[08:44] Maou
I can't be certain about this, but...
[08:46] Maou
The crimes have all
happened in the last week.
[08:48] Maou
They must have a place to sell the
goods that's safe and fast.
[08:52] Maou
Since they steal directly from the field,
[08:55] Maou
their vehicle can't be
a pickup with an open bed.
[08:58] Maou
But if they rented a heavy truck,
[09:00] Maou
it'd be too easy for anyone
who found out to track them down.
[09:03] Emi
So what are you saying?
[09:05] Maou
Do I have to spell it out for you?
[09:08] Maou
We just saw a vehicle that would be
perfect for stealing produce.
[09:14] Maou
One you couldn't see at night and
that's able to carry a big load,
[09:18] Maou
with enough speed and power
to go fast on dirt roads.
[09:22] Emi
The one from today.
[09:24] Maou
It's just a hypothesis. But if I'm right...
[09:28] Maou
Tonight is the night they'll come.
[09:31] Maou
Nobody goes out the night
after their family and workers
[09:33] Maou
get attacked by a bear, right?
[09:36] Maou
Tonight, the Sasaki farm will be
their ideal hunting ground.
[09:40] Maou
What'll they want? Watermelons?
[09:42] Emi
Hold on. The crops we've seen
aren't necessarily the only ones.
[09:47] Emi
Aren't they growing special
organic veggies, too?
[09:50] Emi
What about those?
[09:52] Maou
Emi, Suzuno, could you
take a quick flight around
[09:56] Maou
and get the lay of the land from above?
[09:58] Emi
Not smart. We can't see
the fields in the dark,
[10:02] Emi
plus us flying is the last thing
we want people to see.
[10:05] Maou
O-Oh, right.
[10:07] Maou
Hey, Urushihara. Doesn't that one
search engine have super-detailed maps?
[10:11] Urushihara
Seriously, Maou?
Those aren't updated in real time.
[10:18] Emi
You want to keep watch?
[10:20] Urushihara
Why don't you ask one
of the Sasakis for help?
[10:24] Maou
This thief sounded their horn to goad
a bear into attacking me and Emi.
[10:28] Maou
I gotta assume they have no
problem with hurting people.
[10:32] Maou
We can't get the Sasakis
any more involved in this.
[10:36] Maou
But we can probably turn the tables
if Emi or Suzuno scares them
[10:39] Maou
with a little celestial force.
[10:41] Suzuno
How exactly would we keep watch?
[10:44] Suzuno
There are only five of us.
[10:46] Suzuno
It's not as though we can
bring the good Chiho.
[10:49] Urushihara
I see. So you're counting me...
[10:51] Suzuno
Do we just patrol the places
we're familiar with?
[10:55] Maou
Maybe that's our only option...
[10:56] Maou
Okay, let's think about what routes
a truck could come from—
[11:00] Ei
I'm comin' in.
[11:02] Chiho
G-Grandma?! When did you...?
[11:05] Emi
I didn't sense her at all.
[11:07] Chiho
Did you hear our conversation?
[11:10] Ei
I don't need hearin' aids yet.
[11:13] Ei
Don't worry. I ain't gonna
tell anyone yer plan.
[11:20] Chiho
Grandma?
[11:21] Ei
I don't understand the details,
[11:23] Ei
and I don't have the energy
to go blabbin' people's secrets.
[11:27] Ei
Maybe ya aren't normal people.
[11:32] Ei
But all I care about
[11:34] Ei
is that ya wanna protect Manji and Yumiko
and Kazuma and Hinako and Hitoshi.
[11:41] Ei
That's all.
[11:43] Ei
You, show me that thing.
[11:45] Urushihara
Y-Yes, ma'am.
[11:50] Ei
Got a pen?
[11:51] Ashiya
Yes, ma'am.

[12:07] Ei
That'd be closest to the watermelons
and the tomato greenhouse.
[12:12] Ashiya
That narrows it down to only
two locations we need to guard.
[12:16] Ashiya
We can handle any violence by splitting
Yusa and Kamazuki between them.
[12:19] Urushihara
Hold that thought.
[12:22] Urushihara
Shouldn't we worry about
this area before the tomatoes?
[12:25] Maou
That's not a field.
[12:27] Urushihara
Personally, I think it's a way more
attractive target than the veggies.
[12:32] Urushihara
You could store them until they were safe
to sell, and they wouldn't go bad.
[12:36] Emi
What are you talking about?
[12:38] Urushihara
Even at dirt-cheap prices,
[12:40] Urushihara
one or two of these would net a lot
more money than dozens of vegetables.
[12:45] Urushihara
You saw them up close, right, Maou? Ashiya?
[12:48] Ashiya
Yes, with the right tools, even an
amateur could easily remove them.
[12:53] Maou
And they were each only
about the size of a tatami mat.
[12:57] Maou
They'd fit in that SUV with room to spare.
[13:00] Chiho
Wait, do you mean...
[13:03] Urushihara
Yeah. And if they get stolen,
[13:06] Urushihara
that could wipe out everything
in the greenhouses.

Why was I paired with you?
[13:14] ---
[13:17] Maou
What do you want me to say?
[13:18] Maou
Urushihara understands the technology best,
so he should be near the solar panels.
[13:23] Maou
Which makes me and Ashiya
your only options, right?
[13:27] Suzuno
Without your magic, your presence
here is frankly pointless.
[13:33] Suzuno
It's a vehicle!
[13:37] Maou
It looked like a normal pickup,
but I should text Emi just in case.
[13:50] Suzuno
Drop dead! Yes, that's for the best!
[13:51] Suzuno
I'll text Emilia for you, so you just die!
[13:53] Maou
Gah! Wait, don't take out the hairpin!
[13:55] Maou
Everything is my fault!
[13:57] Maou
Just don't crack my head like
a watermelon, and I'll make amends!
[14:05] Maou
Why're they driving so slow?
[14:07] Suzuno
Maybe they're looking for something.
[14:09] Suzuno
They stopped!
[14:10] Suzuno
Second Sight.
[14:17] Maou
It's too dark to really see...
[14:21] Maou
So there are four people total?
[14:35] Suzuno
Why did you stop me?!
[14:36] Maou
I doubt this was their objective.
[14:39] Maou
That single watermelon was just a bonus.
[14:41] Suzuno
Bonus?
[14:42] Maou
Yeah. We gotta contact Emi.
[14:45] Maou
That must be them.
[14:49] Emi
Apparently they really came.
[14:56] Emi
That's definitely the car.
[14:59] Emi
One of them's holding something.
It looks like a tool.
[15:02] Emi
Two are holding the panel from the sides.
[15:05] Emi
They got it off!
[15:06] Ashiya
Leave this to me!
[15:08] Ashiya
Nobody move!
[15:10] Ashiya
Who gave you permission
to take away that panel?
[15:14] Ashiya
Put it down this instant!
[15:26] Ashiya
They abandoned a comrade and ran?
[15:32] Emi
Divine Boots of Light.
[15:36] Urushihara
Hello, Chiho Sasaki?
[15:38] Urushihara
Yep, they're headed to town
in an SUV of foreign make.
[15:43] Urushihara
They're moving down Route 49
toward the bridge by Kappakan.
[15:45] Urushihara
I doubt the others will let them
cross the bridge, so let the cops know.
[15:50] Urushihara
Hello, Bel?
[15:52] Urushihara
The enemy's on the run,
headed for the kappa museum.
[15:55] Urushihara
Yep, good luck.
[15:58] Tetsu
Wh-What now? If Mitsuru
gets arrested, we're screwed!
[16:01] Hiro
Calm down! Once we get to the highway,
we'll ditch the car and escape!
[16:05] Hiro
It's Mitsuru's anyw—
[16:07] Taka
Hey, look where you're going!
[16:14] Hiro
I-I think I hit her!
[16:17] Taka
W-Was that a tanuki?
[16:18] Hiro
No! A p-person! A woman in a kimono!
[16:21] Tetsu
A kimono? What, was she a ghost?
[16:24] Hiro
W-We gotta get out of here!
[16:30] Hiro
Crap! Are we stuck on something?
[16:32] Hiro
Hey, get out and check!
[16:35] Tetsu
Just don't leave me behind...
[16:43] Suzuno
I won't let you escape!

crap, what the crap?!
[16:50] Hiro
What is this?!
[16:52] Hiro
What's going on?!
[16:55] Taka
Run! Get out and—
[16:57] Hiro

[17:07] Emi
Did you think you could get away?
[17:12] Emi
You endangered human lives for no reason,
and I'm going to make you pay.
[17:22] Emi
Hey...
[17:23] Taka
Sh-Shit!
[17:26] Emi
You won't get away, enemy of farmers.
[17:28] Emi
Seriously, he didn't have to pee himself.
[17:31] Suzuno
He must have been quite afraid.
[17:38] Taka
Why is this happening?
[17:41] Taka
Crap!
[17:46] Maou
You better not be thinking
of this as "bad luck."
[17:50] Maou
A bad deed is a bad deed.
[17:52] Maou
But we stole to survive.
[17:56] Maou
You and your friends stole
without thinking and hurt people.
[18:00] Maou
If you made a clean getaway,
[18:03] Maou
I'm sure none of you would ever
think twice about your wrongdoing.
[18:09] Maou
I sense the negative feelings
in your rotten heart.
[18:14] Taka
A-A demon?!
[18:17] Maou
You four will spend the rest of your lives
paying the price for hurting people.
[18:25] Maou
Just like us.
[18:28] Kazuma
You say Mr. Maou and
the others caught the thieves?
[18:31] Kazuma
Are they all right?
[18:33] Ei
I can feel something cold
from way down the mountain.
[18:37] Ei
Everything's over now.
[18:40] Chiho
It's them!
[18:42] Kazuma
What the heck happened?
[18:44] Ei
Ya used to see folks like
that sometimes, way back when.
[18:47] Ei
These days things are easier and safer,
[18:51] Ei
so I reckon there's no need for folks to
be born with special powers anymore.
[18:55] Cop
Good night.
[18:56] Chiho
Mr. Maou! Miss Yusa!
[18:58] Chiho
Mr. Ashiya! Mr. Urushihara! Miss Suzuno!
[19:01] Chiho
Thank you so much!
[19:04] Ei
Hey, Kazuma!
[19:05] Ei
They protected Hinako
and Hitoshi and the rest of us,
[19:09] Ei
and they're Chiho's good friends.
[19:13] Ei
Leave it at that.
[19:16] Kazuma
Chiho's friends, eh?
[19:20] Kazuma
Then I guess we'd better work 'em
like usual tomorrow morning.
[19:27] Delivery Worker
You have a delivery! Signature, please!
[19:31] Ashiya
This is wonderful!
[19:33] Ashiya
They not only paid our wages,
but gave us so many things...
[19:36] Ashiya
Our food budget can't thank them enough!
[19:38] Suzuno
Don't let joy carry you away, Alciel.
[19:41] Suzuno
How will we fit all this
in the refrigerators?
[19:43] Maou
Hello, Chi? We got a produce
delivery from Komagane.
[19:44] Ashiya
Can't we cook it in ways
that will keep well?
[19:46] Suzuno
Will that really work?
[19:48] Maou
I thought I should thank you
and your mom and dad first.
[19:52] Maou
Yeah, could you put them on?
[19:54] Maou
Hello, this is Maou. We owe you our thanks.
[19:58] Maou
Yes, we just got them from Mr. Kazuma...
[19:59] Urushihara
Hey, there's a news flash
about the veggie thieves.
SIGN News from Kamiina, Nagano
SIGN AGRICULTURAL THEFT SUSPECTS ARRESTED AGAIN
[20:02] Urushihara
"The investigation found them responsible
for a series of produce thefts,
[20:05] Urushihara
upon which they were charged with additional crimes
[20:07] Urushihara
and turned over to the
public prosecutor's office."
[20:10] Urushihara
"These students who attend a famous university
[20:11] Urushihara
used the paltry sum they made off
their thefts for fun money." Wow.
[20:16] Suzuno
What cretins.
[20:18] Urushihara
It also says they gave confusing
statements like, "I saw a demon,"
[20:21] Urushihara
and, "I saw a woman wreathed in flame."
[22:00] Alas Ramus
"I'm scared!"
[22:02] Emi
Will this all fit?
[22:04] Alas Ramus
It's okay!
[22:05] Alas Ramus
Mama's not the Bear-slayer!
[22:08] Alas Ramus
Right, Mama?
[22:11] Emi
Th-That's right.

Satan, you better run next time I see you!

Next, an update on the serial
agricultural thefts in Komagane, Nagano.
[22:25] Emi
By the way...
[22:27] (Flashback) Emi
There isn't a large concentration
of negative emotions in this area.
[22:30] (Flashback) Emi
How did Maou manage to transform?
[22:33] (Flashback) Suzuno
The kappa museum, perhaps?
[22:36] (Flashback) Suzuno
The exhibits there are supposedly
genuine, collected by ethnographers.
[22:41] (Flashback) Suzuno
Maybe he took humanity's terror
of kappa accumulated over millennia,
[22:45] (Flashback) Suzuno
and converted that to magic...
[22:47] (Flashback) Suzuno
It seems possible.
[22:51] Alas Ramus
Mama?
[22:56] Emi
I've carelessly let my guard down
around them a lot lately,
