**[00:00] Usato**
For real, Blurin, that was really rough.
**[00:04] Usato**
We were suddenly summoned to the castle
as soon as we got back from the battle.
**[00:09] Usato**
I was told we were getting a
reward from King Lloyd, but...
**[00:14] Usato**
I'd never been in front of so many
people before. I was so nervous!
**[00:19] Usato**
And the captain smacked me in the middle
of the ceremony for some reason...
**[00:22] Usato**
But to be honest, I was kinda happy.
**[00:26] Usato**
I never got any kind of award
back in my old world.
**[00:31] Usato**
Anyway, Blurin, did you gain
weight while I was gone?
**[00:40] Usato**
I mean, no matter how you look at it...
**[00:43] Gomul**
Hey! There you are, Usato.
**[00:46] Usato**
Gomul? What's up?
**[00:48] Gomul**
Someone from the castle dropped by
and asked for you to pay a visit.
**[00:52] Usato**
Huh? Again? Why?
**[00:55] Gomul**
Well, better get over there sooner than later.
**[00:58] Gomul**
Sounded like they were in a hurry.
**[01:00] Gomul**
Oh, but be careful if you're
cutting through town.
**[01:04] Usato**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[01:07] Gomul**
Who can say?
**[01:12] Usato**
Wh-What's all this?!
**[01:14] Crowd**
He's a member of the Rescue Team!
**[01:14] Usato**
W-Wait, everyone! Please calm down!
**[01:15] Crowd**
Thank you for saving my son!
**[01:17] Crowd**
Take these with you!
**[01:18] Usato**
N-No, I couldn't!
**[01:19] Usato**
I c-can't carry that much!
**[01:20] Crowd**
Now, don't hold back!
**[01:22] Usato**
U-Um, thank you very much...
**[01:23] Crowd**
Go on, just take it!

**[02:56] Aruku**
Wow, you went through all that?
I'd expect no less, Sir Usato.
**[03:00] Usato**
No, no. It was hard to get
away from the crowd.
**[03:04] Aruku**
Well, I'm not at all surprised,
considering your role in the battle.
**[03:09] Aruku**
I'd like to thank you again.
**[03:11] Aruku**
You have my gratitude for saving my comrades.
**[03:15] Usato**
Please stop! The knights also saved me
plenty of times on the battlefield.
**[03:20] Usato**
And you protected the Rescue Team, too.
We all just did our part.
**[03:26] Aruku**
You're such an interesting man, Sir Usato.
**[03:30] Usato**
I'll be counting on you again
if I ever need a bodyguard.
**[03:36] Aruku**
Of course!
**[03:37] Thomas**
You've got a great eye, Sir Usato!
**[03:39] Thomas**
Aruku is skilled in both magic and the sword!
**[03:42] Thomas**
He could join the royal
knights if he wanted to!
**[03:46] Aruku**
Come on, Thomas!
**[03:48] Thomas**
It's the truth. Please continue
to utilize his services!
**[03:52] Usato**
Yes, of course!
**[03:55] Aruku**
I-I appreciate it...
**[03:58] King Lloyd**
My apologies for calling
you back so soon, Usato.
**[04:02] King Lloyd**
I was hoping you'd lend us your strength.
**[04:04] Usato**
Of course. What can I do for you?
**[04:07] King Lloyd**
Siglis.
**[04:08] Siglis**
Sire.
**[04:10] Siglis**
We would like your help
interrogating the Black Knight,
**[04:14] Siglis**
whom you captured.
**[04:16] Usato**
*That girl?*
**[04:22] Usato**
What happened? Has she been
violent during questioning?
**[04:26] Siglis**
No, it seems she does not hold much
loyalty to the Demon Lord's army.
**[04:32] Siglis**
She's been answering us willingly.
**[04:34] Usato**
Then...
**[04:35] Siglis**
However, we've yet to get the most
critical intel we need out of her.
**[04:41] Siglis**
We'd like to know the magic system of
the commanding officers and their powers.
**[04:45] Usato**
Oh, I see.
**[04:47] Siglis**
She claims she'll cooperate
if we meet her demand.
**[04:56] Siglis**
She wishes to see you, Sir Usato.
**[05:00] Usato**
Huh?
**[05:02] Suzune**
Don't worry, Usato-kun!
**[05:04] Suzune**
I volunteered to accompany you!
**[05:05] Suzune**
I'll protect you if she tries anything!
**[05:08] Usato**
Uh, I heard that the Black
Knight is being cooperative.
**[05:13] Usato**
Plus, you already lost to her once...
**[05:17] Suzune**
Well, that's true. Only you or Captain Rose
would stand a chance against her...
**[05:23] Suzune**
But I can at least be a meat shield!
**[05:25] Usato**
Th-Thank you for saying so.
**[05:28] Usato**
I wonder why I was able to hold my
own against her in the first place.
**[05:33] Siglis**
The Black Knight has an
affinity for dark magic.
**[05:37] Siglis**
It appears that magic was completely
canceled out by your healing magic.
**[05:42] Usato**
I see. We offset each other, huh?
**[05:44] Usato**
Wait, doesn't that mean...
**[05:47] Usato**
Was the healing magic I was casting
with each punch negated, too?
**[05:55] Siglis**
Yes, that stands to reason.
**[05:57] Usato**
Commander Siglis!
**[05:58] Usato**
Has the Black Knight
received medical attention?
**[06:01] Siglis**
Huh?
**[06:01] Siglis**
No, she's had her black armor on ever
since she regained consciousness.
**[06:06] Usato**
Oh, no!
**[06:10] Usato**
Hey!
**[06:13] Usato**
You're hurt, aren't you?
**[06:15] Usato**
And pretty bad, I bet!
**[06:18] Black Knight**
You're here...
**[06:19] Usato**
My attacks...
You took all those punches directly.
**[06:24] Usato**
I'm not trying to brag,
but my fists can shatter even rocks.
**[06:28] Usato**
I know you're hurt bad.
**[06:31] Black Knight**
Yeah, that's right.
**[06:34] Black Knight**
But it doesn't matter. This is
what pain feels like, isn't it?
**[06:40] Suzune**
Usato-kun...
**[06:42] Suzune**
She's a hardcore M.
**[06:44] Usato**
Please shut up for a second.
**[06:50] Usato**
You wanted to see me. Why?
**[06:55] Black Knight**
I guess I just wanted to see the face of
the guy who messed me up so badly again...
**[07:06] Usato**
Commander Siglis, please let me in.
**[07:10] Siglis**
What? But...
**[07:11] Usato**
Please. I have to help her.
**[07:25] Usato**
Give me your hand.
**[07:26] Black Knight**
For what? Torture?
**[07:28] Usato**
I told you to give me your hand!
**[07:33] Black Knight**
Wh-What are you trying to do?!
**[07:36] Usato**
That's obvious. I'm going to heal you.
**[07:38] Black Knight**
There's no need.
**[07:40] Black Knight**
Let me go! Let me go!
**[07:48] Usato**
It'd leave a bad taste in
my mouth if I let you die.
**[07:52] Usato**
Shut up and let me heal you.
**[07:55] Felm**
What is this?
**[08:10] Felm**
It's so warm...
**[08:12] Suzune**
Usato-kun?
**[08:14] Usato**
It's all right, I think.
**[08:19] Usato**
All done.
**[08:23] Usato**
Um, can you let go now?
**[08:26] Felm**
Just a little longer.
**[08:36] Felm**
I've never felt this before.
**[08:40] Felm**
I want to stay like this a little longer...
**[08:48] Usato**
How can I say no when you
ask me looking like that?
***SIGN*** The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic
**[08:57] Rose**
Now, then...
**[08:59] Rose**
I'll be training you personally today.
**[09:02] Usato**
Uh, may I ask why?
**[09:05] Rose**
Like I said before, the Demon Lord's
army *will* attack again.
**[09:09] Rose**
There are some things I want you
to learn so you'll be prepared.
**[09:13] Usato**
I see.
**[09:14] Usato**
I do want to level up my healing magic.
**[09:18] Usato**
I still can't treat complicated
things like sickness...
**[09:21] Rose**
There are steps for accomplishing that.
**[09:23] Rose**
It's out of reach for you right now.
**[09:25] Usato**
What?
**[09:26] Usato**
So, more physical training?
**[09:29] Rose**
No. Your endurance and physicality
are just barely over the acceptable line,
**[09:33] Rose**
so we won't worry about that for now.
**[09:35] Usato**
Then what are we going to do?
**[09:39] Usato**
Um...
**[09:41] Usato**
Captain?
**[09:45] Rose**
I'm going to punch you.
***SIGN*** ...Huh?
**[09:49] Usato**
Huh?
***SIGN*** RUMBLE
***SIGN*** RUMBLE
**[09:49] Rose**
I'm going to punch you
faster than you can react.
**[09:53] Rose**
Dodge.
**[09:54] Usato**
Whoa! You actually hate me, don't you?!
**[09:56] Usato**
I'll straight-up explode if you punch me!
**[09:59] Rose**
You rely too much on your healing magic.
**[10:02] Rose**
Of course, I *am* the one
who trained you that way.
**[10:05] Rose**
It just means it's time to
move to the next step.
**[10:08] Usato**
No! I'm gonna be murdered!
**[10:12] Rose**
You think you can just heal
yourself if you get hurt, right?
**[10:16] Rose**
But healing magic won't work on wounds
made by weapons that curse the wound.
**[10:21] Rose**
You need to learn to dodge.
**[10:24] Rose**
Hey, I'm no monster. I'll start light.
**[10:28] Usato**
You shouldn't punch your subordinates,
lightly or otherwise!
**[10:30] Usato**
You're messed up in the head!
**[10:32] Usato**
Er, I'm sorry...
**[10:34] Rose**
I see. So you want me to be serious.
**[10:37] Rose**
I'm thrilled you're so passionate
about your training!
**[10:52] Rose**
You'd better not block.
**[10:54] Usato**
This is so unfair!
**[11:10] Usato**
What a nightmare.
**[11:12] Usato**
Have I been training too much?
**[11:14] Usato**
Of course. There was no
sudden practice exercise at all.
**[11:18] Rose**
You're awake. Let's go again.
**[11:21] Usato**
*I shouldn't run away from reality...*
**[11:23] Rose**
Don't worry. I held back earlier.
**[11:26] Rose**
You're holding up fine, right?
**[11:29] Usato**
Thank you, ma'am...
**[11:34] Usato**
We've been at it for three whole days!
**[11:36] Usato**
Isn't my captain the worst?
**[11:38] Usato**
If I get close to dodging,
she just throws punches even faster.
**[11:41] Usato**
Yesterday, when I was focused on dodging,
she went and landed a critical hit on me...
**[11:46] Usato**
Don't you think she's kinda
losing the point of our training?
**[11:50] Felm**
Hey...
**[11:51] Felm**
You just start spouting off
the moment you show up?
**[11:54] Felm**
What are you even here for?
**[11:55] Usato**
Well, my captain suddenly had something
to do, so there's no training today.
**[12:00] Usato**
And I was wondering how you were doing.
**[12:03] Felm**
Can't you tell just by looking?
**[12:05] Usato**
What are you going to do from now on?
**[12:08] Felm**
That's not for me to decide
in my current predicament.
**[12:12] Usato**
Yeah, I guess not.
**[12:16] Felm**
What do you...
**[12:21] Felm**
It's nothing.
**[12:23] Black Knight**
Now get out of here already.
**[12:25] Usato**
Yeah, yeah. Got it.
**[12:36] Rose**
Your Majesty.
**[12:38] Rose**
You called for me?
**[12:40] King Lloyd**
Thank you for coming, Rose.
**[12:42] King Lloyd**
There are two things I'd like to ask of you.
**[12:46] Rose**
I'm at your service.
**[13:06] Celia**
Oh, Sir Usato!
**[13:08] Usato**
Hello, Princess Celia.
**[13:10] Usato**
Looks like Kazuki's up to
something interesting.
**[13:12] Celia**
Yes.
**[13:13] Celia**
He wanted to improve his magic
and began training like so.
**[13:18] Celia**
I've been cautioning him not
to overexert himself...
**[13:22] Usato**
*Huh?*
**[13:23] Usato**
*Is this what training is supposed to be like?*
**[13:29] Celia**
Sir Usato, that's a rather scary face...
**[13:33] Kazuki**
Oh, Usato!
**[13:37] Kazuki**
I heard from Senpai that you
made the Black Knight cry.
**[13:42] Usato**
Huh? I didn't do anything weird to her!
**[13:45] Usato**
I just healed her wounds!
**[13:47] Kazuki**
I know. I'm just teasing you.
**[13:50] Usato**
Jeez...
**[13:51] Celia**
There was something else
that Dame Suzune said.
**[13:54] Celia**
She said you'd triggered a... "flag"...
with the Black Knight, as well?
**[13:59] Usato**
Princess, there's no need to take
anything she says seriously.
**[14:05] Celia**
By the way, I heard that they were
able to collect the information
**[14:09] Celia**
they needed on the
Demon Lord's army from her.
**[14:11] Celia**
My father was most grateful.
**[14:13] Usato**
Oh, is that so?
**[14:15] Celia**
His trust in you only continues to grow.
**[14:20] Celia**
I heard that if you hadn't been
**[14:22] Celia**
on the battlefield that day,
there's a real possibility we'd have lost.
**[14:26] Usato**
No, that's not true...
**[14:28] Kazuki**
It's completely true.
**[14:29] Kazuki**
If you hadn't saved me, I'd be d—
**[14:33] Kazuki**
Whoops!
**[14:34] Kazuki**
N-Nothing. I should get back to training.
**[14:40] Usato**
See you later!
**[14:42] Kazuki**
I'll come visit you again!
**[14:43] Celia**
Do take care!
**[14:46] Kazuki**
Right, time to train!
**[14:50] Celia**
Before that, Sir Kazuki, I'd like to ask you
for details about what you just said.
**[14:56] Celia**
If Sir Usato hadn't saved you,
you would be... what, exactly?
**[15:01] Kazuki**
U-Uh, what was I going to say?
**[15:04] Celia**
May I know the details?
**[15:08] Kazuki**
S-Sorry!
**[15:09] Usato**
* Kazuki probably hid the fact that the Black*
* Knight almost killed him from the princess.*
**[15:16] Usato**
* But I wonder what's going*
* to happen to her now.*
**[15:19] Usato**
*She gave up the info they wanted, so...*
**[15:22] Usato**
* They wouldn't execute*
* her or anything, right?*
**[15:28] Felm**
*That guy named Usato...*
**[15:30] Felm**
*What is he trying to do?*
**[15:33] Felm**
*Why did he bother coming to see me?*
**[15:36] Felm**
*Usato?*
**[15:42] Felm**
*No!*
**[15:45] Rose**
Hey there.
**[15:48] Felm**
* She's in the same uniform as Usato.*
* Is she the captain he spoke of?*
**[15:52] Rose**
This is the first time we've
met while you were awake.
**[15:55] Rose**
Not that I'd be here if His Majesty
hadn't asked me to be.
**[16:00] Black Knight**
Why are you here?
**[16:02] Rose**
You have two options.
**[16:06] Rose**
The first is to spend the rest
of your life in this prison cell.
**[16:09] Rose**
And the second...
**[16:11] Black Knight**
Kill me if you must.
**[16:13] Rose**
Don't rush things. So impatient.
**[16:21] Rose**
Your second option is honestly
a ton of trouble for me.
**[16:27] Rose**
It's taking you under my wing and
turning you into an upright human,
***SIGN*** Upright Human
***SIGN*** Upright Human
***SIGN*** Upright Demon
**[16:31] Rose**
or rather, an upright demon.
**[16:33] Black Knight**
Huh?
**[16:34] Black Knight**
What are you saying? Are you stup—
**[16:38] Rose**
I see.
**[16:40] Rose**
Healing magic really works on you.
***SIGN*** Wobble
***SIGN*** Wobble
**[16:43] Rose**
His Majesty dislikes killing prisoners of war.
**[16:47] Rose**
Even troublesome ones like you.
**[16:51] Rose**
Also, I know just how much demonkind
cares about their comrades.
**[16:56] Rose**
If we kill a prisoner of war,
they'll be outraged.
**[16:59] Rose**
And enemies burning with the desire
for revenge are the worst to deal with.
**[17:14] Felm**
My mana?
**[17:15] Rose**
That's a magic tool that seals mana.
**[17:17] Felm**
What?!
**[17:18] Felm**
Should you be using something
so valuable this nonchalantly?!
**[17:21] Rose**
We could watch over you in prison,
**[17:24] Rose**
but it'd be a waste of the kingdom's
resources to do that forever.
**[17:28] Rose**
So it looks like turning you into
an upright demon is the way to go.
**[17:32] Felm**
Huh?
**[17:33] Felm**
Didn't you say I had a choice?!
**[17:34] Rose**
His Majesty told me he was leaving you to me.
**[17:40] Felm**
No! What are you planning to do?!
**[17:43] Rose**
You're in no position to refuse.
**[17:53] Usato**
Good job, Blurin!
**[17:55] Usato**
At this rate, you'll slim down in no time!
**[17:59] Usato**
Okay, one more lap!
**[18:01] Rose**
Didn't I tell you to take today off?
**[18:03] Usato**
Well, I felt a little restless...
**[18:07] Usato**
But is that any reason to kick someone?
**[18:10] Usato**
What's that?
**[18:11] Rose**
Oh, this thing?
**[18:16] Usato**
What?! Isn't that—
**[18:18] Rose**
Shut up!
**[18:19] Usato**
So unreasonable!
**[18:20] Usato**
Wh-Why the heck did you bring her here?!
**[18:23] Rose**
Starting today, I'm going to reform her
as an errand runner for the Rescue Team.
**[18:28] Rose**
It'll be fun to train a demon.
**[18:31] Usato**
Wait, wait, wait... But...
**[18:33] Rose**
Her magic's been sealed, so no need to
worry about her trying anything funny.
**[18:37] Rose**
And...
**[18:39] Rose**
I'll be supervising her training for a while.
**[18:42] Rose**
Just like I did with you.
**[18:44] Usato**
Are you serious?
**[18:52] Felm**
Where am I?
**[18:54] Felm**
Oh, Usato?
**[18:57] Usato**
My condolences.
**[18:59] Felm**
Huh?
**[19:05] Rose**
Come in.
**[19:08] Usato**
Excuse me.
**[19:09] Rose**
Hey.
**[19:11] Rose**
How's the newbie?
**[19:13] Usato**
She had some complaints, but she calmed
down a bit after taking a bath.
**[19:20] Usato**
I think she's currently asleep in her room.
**[19:22] Rose**
I see.
**[19:25] Rose**
Sounds like she still doesn't
understand the situation she's in.
**[19:29] Rose**
Well, she'll grasp it
once she starts training.
**[19:33] Usato**
I'm sure she will.
**[19:35] Usato**
So, what business did you have with me?
**[19:37] Rose**
Oh, I spoke directly with His Majesty today.
**[19:43] Rose**
It concerned you, as well.
**[19:47] (Flashback) King Lloyd**
Rose, I hope to form alliances with
other countries to stand against
**[19:52] (Flashback) King Lloyd**
the threat that is the Demon Lord's army.
**[19:56] (Flashback) King Lloyd**
I'd like to send representatives
to various nations with a missive.
**[20:03] Usato**
A journey to deliver missives?
**[20:06] Rose**
That's right. The representatives
His Majesty has chosen are
**[20:10] Rose**
Hero Suzune, Hero Kazuki, and...
**[20:14] Rose**
You, Usato.
**[20:17] Usato**
Huh?!
**[20:18] Usato**
I get Senpai and Kazuki, but why me?!
**[20:22] Rose**
Isn't it obvious?
**[20:23] Rose**
His Majesty believes you could
successfully complete this mission,
**[20:27] Rose**
which the fate of the
whole kingdom depends on.
**[20:30] Rose**
I share his opinion.
**[20:33] Rose**
There's still some time before you leave.
**[20:36] Rose**
Get ready, Usato.
**[20:37] Usato**
Right.
**[20:42] Shop Owner**
Here ya go.
**[20:43] Usato**
Thank you very much.
**[20:46] Female A**
Um, Mr. Usato...
**[20:48] Female A**
Good luck with your work in the Rescue Team!
**[20:51] Female B**
That's all we wanted to say!
**[20:53] Usato**
Uh... Sure.
**[20:57] Shop Owner**
Sorry about last time.
**[20:59] Shop Owner**
We got too excited.
**[21:02] Shop Owner**
We won't get carried away again.
**[21:04] Usato**
Okay...
**[21:08] Usato**
*The people of this kingdom are so kind...*
**[21:12] Usato**
* This journey to deliver missives*
* is really to protect them.*
**[21:17] Suzune**
Oh? Usato-kun?
**[21:20] Usato**
Oh.
**[21:21] Usato**
Senpai.
**[21:22] Suzune**
What a coincidence running into you here!
**[21:24] Suzune**
Why, this must be what they call fate!
**[21:28] Usato**
Yeah, I think there's just a pretty good
chance of bumping into people at the market.
**[21:32] Suzune**
I think you've just triggered
another flag with me!
**[21:38] Usato**
I'm not following you at all.
**[21:44] Usato**
Little fox!
**[21:45] Usato**
I found you!
**[21:51] Usato**
I finally got you!
**[21:53] Usato**
We need to talk!
**[21:56] Amako**
I was waiting for you.
It's time to pay me back.
**[22:00] Usato**
Huh?
**[22:01] Amako**
Healer... Save my mother.
