[00:03] Lize
You must've noticed.
[00:05] Lize
That boy is a monster.
[00:09] Yifa
A monster?
[00:10] Lize
You can see it. I know you can.
[00:14] Lize
The elementals all refuse to get near him.
[00:17] Lize
It's not that they don't get close to him
because he has no magical power.
[00:20] Lize
They're avoiding him.
[00:22] Lize
In the same way they avoid a demon's miasma.
[00:26] Yifa
T-True, Seika's a little odd, but he's human!
[00:32] Lize
How can you be sure?
[00:34] Yifa
I grew up with Seika in the same mansion.
[00:37] Yifa
I've known him since he was little.
[00:40] Lize
Are his parents really
Count Lamprogue and his wife?
[00:46] Yifa
No...
[00:47] Yifa
His father is the count,
[00:49] Yifa
but I don't know who his mother is.
[00:51] Lize
Then how can you be sure she isn't a demon?
[00:55] Yifa
But I...
[00:56] Yifa
I believe Seika's human!
[00:59] Lize
Believing means refusing to think.
[01:03] Lize
Yifa, you should get away
from your dangerous master.
[01:10] Lize
For now, why don't you
start by touring the harem?

the Strongest Exorcist in Another World
[02:49] Seika
Thanks for the ride.
[02:51] Seika
You can go back.
[02:57] Seika
Hey there.
[03:19] Seika
Very scary.
[03:24] Seika
Summoning. Konaki-Jijii.
[03:35] Seika
Heavy, isn't he?
[03:37] Seika
No, no. Stay put.
[03:40] Seika
Phase of earth.
[03:41] Seika
Spell of Asbestos Net.
[03:49] Yuki
Couldn't you have just caught it with
this instead of using an ayakashi?
[03:54] Seika
It would be dangerous for it if it
lost the use of its wings in mid-air.
[03:57] Yuki
It's rare for you to show any
mercy to such a creature...
[04:02] Seika
Yeah?
[04:03] Yuki
Seika, is that...
[04:06] Seika
Yup.
[04:10] Yuki
This creature is male, right?
[04:13] Yuki
Does that mean it has a partner, then?
[04:16] Seika
No, it doesn't.
[04:18] Seika
This dragon changed from male to female.
[04:21] Seika
Many fish can change their sex
in response to their environment.
[04:25] Seika
The dragon probably did the same
at some point after its partner died.
[04:31] Seika
And it's not at all rare for creatures to
be able to reproduce with just females.
[04:35] Seika
Snakes and lizards do it.
[04:36] Yuki
They do?
[04:38] Seika
Now, what to do with this?
[04:41] Seika
I know!
[04:43] Seika
Once in a while you need to change which
end of the egg points up, like this...
[04:48] Seika
That story about an Astirian princess
hatching the dragon from an egg
[04:52] Seika
is starting to seem more plausible.
[05:02] Lize
Astiria's harem is more than a place
for the king's wives and mistresses
[05:07] Lize
to spend their time in complicated
power struggles against each other.
[05:10] Lize
There are many instructors here.
In a way, it's like an academy.
[05:17] Lize
Many of the girls here will be involved
in the politics of this nation,
[05:20] Lize
so it's also a way to train
female government officials.
[05:23] Lize
But most of the country's queens
have also come from here.
[05:27] Lize
In that sense, this place
is without doubt, a harem.
[05:30] Lize
It's clear that the prince
is in love with you.
[05:34] Lize
Well? Interesting place, isn't it?
[05:36] Lize
If nothing else, I'm sure it's very
different than what you imagined.
[05:40] Yifa
Yeah.
[05:41] Lize
The current Queen of Astiria,
the prince's mother, is a superlative ruler.
[05:47] Lize
Wise, decisive, and loved by the people.
[05:51] Lize
The prince is worried that he won't live up
to the legacy she'll leave behind.
[05:58] Lize
That's why he's in such a hurry to win
glory for himself with the dragon matter.
[06:01] Lize
And why he's in such a hurry to find a wife.
[06:03] Lize
He's a young boy. Very inexperienced
in the ways of the world.
[06:07] Lize
But he's not a bad person.
[06:10] Lize
I've known him since he was a baby at
his mother's breast, and I guarantee it.
[06:13] Lize
Would you stay by his side, and support him?
[06:22] Seika
I'm tired...
[06:24] Yuki
Sheesh. This creature's got some nerve,
making you take care of its egg!
[06:32] Seika
It's hard to heat up these rocks by myself.
[06:35] Yuki
What will you do next?
[06:38] Seika
It's time I head back.
[06:39] Seika
I need to tell the prince there's no danger.
[06:42] Seika
Hey, I'm leaving.
[06:47] Seika
Don't growl at me.
[06:50] Seika
Hey, hey!
[06:52] Seika
When is it going to let me go?
[06:55] Yuki
It's going to be a while,
from the look of it.
[06:58] Seika
Oh, dear.
[07:05] Gould
That's true.
[07:08] Cecilio
Hey, what did you think of the harem?
[07:11] Cecilio
Did you like it?
[07:13] Yifa
Well...
[07:14] Cecilio
I was just waiting for you.
[07:17] Cecilio
Gould, this is her.
[07:20] Gould
Oh, my, she's quite pretty.
[07:24] Gould
You said she's done some studies, right?
[07:27] Gould
And can use magic?
[07:29] Cecilio
Yes.
[07:30] Gould
It's hard to put a price on her,
[07:35] Gould
but this seems reasonable.
[07:37] Cecilio
Good.
[07:38] Cecilio
Curtis, this counts as an
official appraisal, right?
[07:42] Curtis
Yes, my prince.
[07:44] Curtis
The liberation tax is 1/20th the price.
[07:48] Cecilio
All right.
[07:49] Cecilio
Come here!
[07:50] Yifa
U-Um, what is this?
[07:55] Cecilio
The paperwork to liberate you!
[07:58] Cecilio
From today on, you're free!
[08:00] Cecilio
Normally you have to do this at
an official government office,
[08:04] ---
but it's okay because I'm recognizing it.
[08:07] Cecilio
And I'll pay all the money to liberate you.
[08:10] Yifa
Y-You can't do that!
[08:13] Yifa
You need Seika's approval to free me!
[08:16] Cecilio
He'll approve it.
[08:18] Cecilio
He's not going to say no
if he's paid enough, is he?
[08:21] Cecilio
And if he refuses to free you,
[08:25] Cecilio
I'll issue an order to conscript
all slaves in Protoaster,
[08:29] Cecilio
and force him to sell you to me!
[08:32] Yifa
I—
[08:33] Cecilio
I heard what Lize said.
[08:36] Cecilio
I don't understand what
makes Seika dangerous,
[08:40] Cecilio
but I can't let you stay
with a dangerous master.
[08:44] Cecilio
And Seika said he'd respect your opinion.
[08:48] Yifa
N-No! I don't want to be freed!
[08:52] Cecilio
Why not?
[08:53] Cecilio
Being a slave means someone else
has power over your entire life!
[08:57] Yifa
I-I'll decide for myself what I want to do.
[09:00] Yifa
I may not be free in status...
[09:02] Yifa
but I'm free to decide what I want!
[09:07] Curtis
The paperwork is ready.
[09:09] Curtis
Have the slave put her thumbprint here.
[09:11] Cecilio
But she says she doesn't want to...
[09:14] Curtis
She'll realize she was wrong someday.
[09:17] Curtis
For now, I believe you should force her
to accept it, even if she doesn't want to.
[09:24] Cecilio
Oh...
[09:26] Cecilio
I'm sorry, Yifa. Guards!
[09:30] Yifa
N-No! Stop!
[09:32] Yifa
Or...
[09:32] Lize
Don't.
[09:35] Lize
If you use your power here, this will
cease to be simply your own problem.
[09:40] Lize
Not that you could do anything
inside my sacred grounds.
[09:44] Yifa
Why...?
[09:46] Lize
Forgive me.
[09:47] Lize
This is what's best for
my country, and you, too.
[09:55] Lize
Blood will serve as ink for
the thumbprint, correct?
[09:58] Curtis
You know the laws well, Lize.
[10:02] Yifa
Seika!
[10:13] Seika
Sorry for interrupting!
[10:15] Seika
I'm back, everyone!
[10:18] Seika
Sorry I've returned in such
a fashion, but I was in a hurry!
[10:23] Seika
Put simply, I've made
friends with the dragon!
[10:27] Seika
Now it lets me ride on its back!
[10:31] Seika
Oh, right!
[10:33] Seika
Can someone come with me?
[10:36] Seika
I want to keep its egg warm, so I could
really use somebody who can use fire magic!
[10:42] Seika
Yifa,
[10:44] Seika
come with me!
[10:49] Yifa
Okay!
[10:51] Lize
Don't go!
[10:54] Yifa
I'm sorry.
[10:55] Yifa
I'm going with Seika after all.
[10:59] Yifa
I really like him!
[11:04] Cecilio
Yifa!
[11:12] Yifa
Wow, we're flying!
[11:14] Seika
Like a dragon knight, huh?
[11:16] Yifa
You're amazing, Seika!
[11:18] Yifa
I never thought I'd get to
ride on the back of a dragon!
[11:20] Seika
I didn't think it was possible, either,
until just a little while ago.
[11:24] Yifa
Um, thanks for what you did earlier.
[11:27] Seika
For what?
[11:29] Yifa
Never mind.
[11:32] Seika
Hang on tight!
[11:40] Yifa
Is this its nest?
[11:43] Seika
Yup.
[11:44] Seika
The rocks over there are where it sleeps.
[11:46] Seika
The egg's there, too.
[11:47] Seika
Egg?
[11:49] Seika
You see...
[11:55] Seika
Phase of earth.
[11:57] Seika
Spell of Transparent Fortress.
[11:59] Yifa
Isn't that monster...
[12:01] Seika
Stop hiding and come out.
[12:06] Seika
You wanted the dragon.
[12:07] Seika
No... it was the egg from the start?
[12:12] Seika
Zekt.
[12:13] Zekt
I was planning on getting the heck
out of here the second I was done.
[12:17] Zekt
I didn't expect to see you here, though.
[12:21] Zekt
I'm afraid you'll have to die.
[12:24] Zekt
That dumbass prince believed
the lies I told him!
[12:28] Zekt
What a fool.
[12:30] Zekt
Oh, you think your pathetic
magic can help you, do you?
[12:36] Zekt
He'll burn you to a crisp
and swallow you whole!
[12:54] Zekt
Damn it! What was that spell?
[12:57] Zekt
Are you with that elf?
[13:00] Yifa
I'm not going to just stand
there helpless anymore.
[13:04] Seika
Yifa...
[13:06] Zekt
I'm not done yet!
[13:09] Zekt
Lava tiger!
[13:11] Zekt
Go earn the money I paid you assholes!
[13:17] Seika
Phase of sun and fire.
[13:19] Seika
Spell of White Flames.
[13:30] Seika
I did say I'd blast it to ash.
[13:33] Seika
But I guess there isn't any ash left.
[13:34] Zekt
Who are you?
[13:37] Seika
The world's strongest sorcerer.
[13:41] Zekt
What are you talking about?!
[13:43] Zekt
D-Don't just stand there!
[13:46] Zekt
Go get them!
[13:55] Zekt
Don't run away, damn it!
[13:57] Seika
Yeah. Nobody's running away.
[14:01] Zekt
You think you can mess with me?
[14:02] Zekt
I'll blow up this whole mountain!
[14:09] Zekt
My spellbook!
[14:14] Seika
Well done, Yifa.
[14:16] Yifa
Well, you did tell me to take action.
[14:19] Seika
I knew I was right to bring you here.
[14:23] Seika
I didn't know you'd learned
to use water magic like that!
[14:26] Seika
You're amazing!
[14:33] Cecilio
They were lying to me?
[14:36] Seika
Yes.
[14:39] Cecilio
I'll deal with this later.
[14:41] Cecilio
Keep them in prison until then.
[14:45] Zekt
What about my spellbook?
[14:50] Cecilio
Seika, tell me what you've learned.
[14:53] Seika
The dragon was acting oddly
because it had laid an egg.
[14:57] Seika
The dragon accepted me because
I helped it raise its egg.
[15:03] Seika
That makes me believe
the story about the queen
[15:07] Seika
who hatched the dragon from an egg was true.
[15:09] Seika
To the dragon, humans were its parents.
[15:13] Seika
And that was true for its children, as well.
[15:16] Seika
That's why they kept the capital
safe for so many centuries.
[15:21] Seika
Please repay the favor, my prince.
[15:25] Seika
Help it hatch its egg and the dragon and the
people of Protoaster can be a family once more.
[15:32] Cecilio
No.
[15:34] Seika
Why not?
[15:35] Cecilio
I can't persuade the
Imperial Diet without anything concrete.
[15:40] Cecilio
So, Seika...
would you please kill the dragon?
[15:44] Cecilio
I know! If you can go into
its nest, you can poison it!
[15:50] Seika
What are you talking about?
[15:52] Cecilio
You don't understand!
[15:54] Cecilio
I'm the crown prince!
I need to achieve something here!
[15:58] Cecilio
If I can't solve this myself,
I can't be the next king!
[16:03] Cecilio
So please!
[16:05] Seika
I refuse.
[16:08] Cecilio
You do, then?
[16:09] Cecilio
Men!
[16:12] Seika
On suspicion of using magic to cause
the Astirian dragon to behave erratically,
[16:17] Seika
I'm placing you under arrest.
[16:20] Seika
I guess I should play along here.
[16:23] Cecilio
Yifa, come here.
[16:26] Cecilio
You're free.
[16:28] Cecilio
You don't need to stay with
your suspicious master.
[16:31] Cecilio
I'll give you the right to
be a citizen in Astiria!
[16:35] Seika
You're kidding me!
[16:37] Cecilio
Now, come here.
[16:39] Cecilio
It's dangerous there...
[16:43] Seika
Enough!
[16:45] Seika
I've put up with all this nonsense because
these politics have nothing to do with my country.
[16:49] Seika
But you were just after Yifa?
[16:51] Seika
How can you face your men
and your people like that?
[16:54] Seika
You're not even trying
to solve this properly!
[16:56] Seika
Don't try to make others
do it all for you!
[16:58] Seika
Before you start thinking about glory
and women, think about doing your job,
[17:02] Seika
you little child!
[17:04] Cecilio
Little child?
[17:06] Seika
I can't...
[17:07] Seika
I can't give Yifa to someone like you!
[17:15] Seika
Crap. I overdid it.
[17:21] Lize
My apologies.
[17:23] Lize
Put away your swords.
[17:25] Lize
This farce has gone on long enough.
[17:28] Cecilio
Lize!
[17:29] Lize
Let's hear how Yifa feels.
[17:35] Yifa
My prince, I'm honored,
but I refuse your offer.
[17:40] Yifa
I'm going back to the academy with Seika.
[17:43] Cecilio
But...
[17:44] Yifa
Even if I was free,
I'm not joining your harem.
[17:47] Cecilio
But...
[17:49] Lize
Prince, it's time to give it up.
[17:52] Lize
She's clearly rejected you.
[17:59] Lize
I apologize for the impudence, Seika.
[18:01] Lize
Thank you for your aid in the dragon matter.
[18:04] Lize
I'm happy to have learned the truth.
[18:07] Lize
And while I know it's a lot to ask,
[18:09] Lize
would you please forget
what the prince just said?
[18:12] Seika
Of course.
[18:13] Seika
I got a little heated, too...
[18:17] Lize
By the way, I'd like to
talk to Yifa in private...
[18:24] Lize
You love the boy, don't you?
[18:27] Yifa
L-Love him?
[18:28] Lize
Then, there's nothing more to discuss.
[18:32] Lize
Put out your hand.
[18:35] Lize
I'll give you a few of my elementals.
[18:39] Lize
The light ones are especially rare.
[18:42] Lize
They can heal.
[18:47] Lize
Looking at you reminds me of the
elf princess in the fairy tales.
[18:51] Lize
A girl of such great compassion who,
despite being in the hero's party,
[18:55] Lize
took pity on the demon king.
[18:57] Lize
I'm sure he will recognize your feelings.
[19:01] Lize
May you find happiness, my comrade.
SIGN Episode 9: Yifa's Resolve
[19:56] Seika
So you could use elemental magic because
you're a descendant of the elves.
[20:01] Yifa
Yeah. I had no idea.
[20:03] Yifa
Maybe my mom knew.
[20:08] (Flashback) Lize
That boy is a monster.
[20:11] Yifa
Um, Seika...
[20:15] Yifa
No, nothing.
[20:18] Seika
I'm glad you rejected that loser prince.
[20:23] Seika
Oh, hey, if you were to get married,
who would you like to get married to?
[20:28] Yifa
Um... It wouldn't matter
who their parents were,
[20:32] Yifa
but I'd want them to be smarter
than me, and strong, and kind,
[20:35] Yifa
and maybe somebody who gets a little
lonely without someone around.
[20:41] Seika
That's a lot.
[20:43] Seika
This is going to sound arrogant,
but it's important to compromise.
[20:46] Seika
Or else you'll never find the
person you're looking for.
[20:51] Yifa
That's not true.

Then, it's settled.
[23:08] Zormnem
Those who want him, divide him up evenly.
[23:14] Zormnem
A problem occurred,
but it was nothing unexpected.
[23:18] Zormnem
I must fulfill this great task,

[23:22] Zormnem
I must defeat the hero,
even if it costs me my life!

No, it's nothing.

There's no problem. None at all.
