[00:03] Ururu
    It sure is far...
[00:07] Ururu
    We haven't even reached the
    halfway point to camp, right?
[00:10] Tong
    Well, we can't be too close to the
    kingdom when we fight the demons.
[00:17] Ururu
    That makes sense.
[00:19] Ururu
    They're invading us, after all.
[00:24] Usato
    Say, Captain, what are the demons like?
[00:28] Rose
    Well, demons are demihumans
    with twisted horns on their heads.
[00:33] Rose
    They look like humans, but they're
    physically stronger and have more mana.
[00:40] Usato
    So they surpass humans, huh?
[00:44] Rose
    Not just their officers, either.
    Even their regular soldiers are tough.
[00:49] Rose
    You scared?
[00:50] Usato
    I know someone even scarier,
     so I'm totally fine.
[00:54] Rose
    You never shut your trap, punk.
[00:57] Rose
    I never thought some kid dragged
    here in the Hero Summoning
[01:00] Rose
    would turn into a monster like you.
[01:02] Usato
    How can you say that after putting me
    through all that hellish training?
[01:06] Usato
    At first, all I wanted to do
    was get one over on you.
[01:12] Usato
    Uh, I mean...

SIGN    Battalion Commander Rose of the Llinger Knights
[03:13] King Lloyd
    Everyone, thank you
    for gathering here today.
[03:18] King Lloyd
    We have received reports of demon sightings
[03:21] King Lloyd
    in the grasslands near
     the Darkness of Llinger.
[03:25] King Lloyd
    Many of them, in fact.
[03:27] King Lloyd
    There have been no attacks yet, but no one
    knows when casualties will start to emerge.
[03:33] King Lloyd
    So, to be safe, we plan to assign guards
    to merchants passing by the grasslands.
[03:40] King Lloyd
    I will leave the details to the general
     and high-ranking officers.
[03:45] King Lloyd
    The strength of demons
    surpasses that of humans.
[03:50] King Lloyd
    Try to avoid conflict with them.
[03:56] Siglis
    Rose.
[03:58] Siglis
    What do you think of the demons' movements?
[04:02] Rose
    Who knows? I have no idea.
[04:05] Rose
    If I had to guess...
[04:09] Siglis
    Could it be they plan to invade?
[04:12] Siglis
    Surely they haven't
    organized that much power...
[04:14] Rose
    It's just a possibility.
[04:19] Siglis
    I'll see that our forces are
    prepared to deploy at any time.
[04:22] Rose
    Might be a waste of effort.
[04:24] Siglis
    I can only hope so.
[04:26] Siglis
    But we must be prepared to respond
    swiftly to the worst-case scenario.
[04:30] Rose
    As overserious as ever.
[04:33] Siglis
    I can hear you.
[04:35] Rose
    I said it loud enough for you to hear.
[04:39] Rose
    I guess we should be prepared
    to deploy at any time, too.
[04:43] Aul
    Commander!
[04:44] Rose
    But even so, we need more information.
[04:47] Aul
    Hey, Commander?
[04:49] Rose
    Maybe I should send out a scout?
[04:52] Rose
    No, the general will—
[04:53] Aul
    Hey, Commander!
[04:55] Rose
    Pipe down already.
[04:58] Aul
    What would you have done
    if you'd split my head open?!
[05:00] Aul
    You have superhuman strength!
    You could've killed me!
[05:05] Rose
    Shut up. Like I care.
[05:07] Rose
    You should stay quiet
    when people are thinking.
[05:10] Aul
    My boss is way too vicious...
[05:13] Aul
    More importantly, Commander...
[05:15] Aul
    Isn't this really serious? I never
    thought demons would start appearing.
[05:22] Aul
    Wh-Why?!
[05:24] Rose
    Don't eavesdrop on top-secret meetings.
[05:27] Aul
    I'm sorry...
[05:28] Rose
    I swear... You still haven't gotten a grasp
    of this little thing called the rules.
[05:35] Aul
    Really, though, what are
    the demons doing here?
[05:39] Rose
    I'm sure it's nothing good.
[05:41] Aul
    I agree.
[05:43] Aul
    Well, if push comes to shove,
    we can send them packing back home!
[05:49] Rose
    Aul.
[05:50] Rose
    Underestimating the enemy is fatal.
[05:53] Aul
    Er, yeah, I totally know that!
[05:55] Aul
    I'm not underestimating them at all!
[05:57] Rose
    What you just said contradicts that.
[05:59] Aul
    I-I'm serious!
[06:01] Aul
    You've physically beaten those
    thoughts out of me already!
[06:05] Rose
    That's it. I'll be overseeing
     this afternoon's training.
[06:08] Aul
    No, no, no! You're so busy now
     that you're a battalion commander!
[06:13] Aul
    We can't possibly interfere with your work!
[06:16] Gilg
    Hey, welcome back, Commander.
[06:19] Naruca
    Welcome back!
[06:20] Chris
    What's wrong, Deputy Commander?
    Your face looks pale.
[06:24] Aul
    Oh, no, it's nothing...
[06:25] Rose
    Today, I'm going to get
    you guys back into shape.
[06:30] Everyone
    What?!
[06:31] Beth
    Aul! What did you do?!
[06:33] Aul
    Huh? Wh-What? I didn't say anything!
[06:36] George
    Sounds like you said something.
[06:38] Aul
    W-Well, I...
[06:40] Aul
    That's right!
[06:41] Aul
    Lately, you guys have looked
    pretty lax, even to me.
[06:45] Aul
    Consider this a gift from me
    as your deputy commander...
[06:48] Everyone
    To hell with that!
[06:50] Josh
    You're the lax one here!
[06:52] Naruca
    You dragged us into the mud with you!
[06:54] Aul
    Ow, ow, ow! How dare you
    be violent with a superior?!
[06:57] Gilg
    Shut up!
[06:58] Beth
    A superior shouldn't drag
    her subordinates down!
[06:58] Rose
    Oh, Kukuru.
[07:01] Aul
    Commander! Please make them stop!
[07:03] Rose
    Not my problem.
[07:04] Aul
    No mercy?!

[07:08] King Lloyd
    About the demons...
[07:11] King Lloyd
    It appears they're attacking
     monsters in our territory.
[07:16] King Lloyd
    According to the witness,
    it's a highly trained group of soldiers.
[07:22] Rose
    Successive and organized strikes?
    That's very suspicious.
[07:28] King Lloyd
    Rose, please investigate
     the cause of their behavior.
[07:32] King Lloyd
    If necessary...
[07:34] Rose
    I'm allowed to use force?
[07:38] King Lloyd
    Yes.
[07:39] King Lloyd
    I know you won't do anything haphazardly.
[07:42] Rose
    I am most grateful for your trust.
[07:46] Rose
    I promise you, I'll produce results.
[07:50] Rose
    So on that note, we're heading out.
[07:53] Rose
    We're going to search around
    the Darkness of Llinger.
[07:56] Rose
    We leave in the morning.
[07:58] Rose
    Any questions?
[08:00] Chris
    What are the enemy's estimated numbers?
[08:02] Rose
    Ten to thirty, we're told.
[08:06] Naruca
    It'll be pretty rough if things turn violent.
[08:10] Aul
    Okay, everyone!
[08:11] Aul
    Prepare yourselves!
    Don't underestimate the enemy!
[08:14] Josh
    I don't want to hear that from you!
[08:15] Gilg
    Who do you think is the reason we've
    been through hell this past week?!
[08:16] Aul
    U-Uh...
[08:19] Beth
    Reflect on yourself,
    you stupid deputy commander!
[08:23] Aul
    But thanks to me, you all look
    composed and serious now.
[08:27] Aul
    I'm sure this'll be a piece of ca—
[08:29] Aul
    Don't throw stuff! That's dangerous!
[08:34] Rose
    Kukuru, you'll be staying home this time.
[08:35] Aul
    Stop! That's dangerous!
[08:38] Rose
    It'd be easier with you there
    since you can detect monsters.
[08:43] Rose
    But the demons might target you.
    I don't want to expose you to danger.
[08:49] Aul
    Commander! These guys are terrible!
[08:55] Rose
    All right, people.
[08:57] Rose
    We should meet this mission fully prepared.
[09:02] Rose
    So I'll be joining you this time.
[09:06] Beth
    Really?!
[09:08] Chris
    We'll be unbeatable if the
    commander is fighting with us!
[09:12] Naruca
    No matter what happens,
    she'll be able to heal us with her magic!
[09:15] Josh
    Yeah! We can fight to our fullest since
    we won't have to worry about injuries!
[09:19] Gilg
    That means we can go wild!
[09:23] Aul
    All right, everyone!
[09:25] Aul
    Let's go beat up those demons!
[09:27] Everyone
    Yeah!
[09:29] Rose
    Goodness, you guys are all hopeless...
[09:34] Rose
    All of you! Hurry up and get ready!
SIGN    The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic
[09:36] Everyone
    Yes, ma'am!
[09:56] Aul
    Everyone, listen up.
[09:58] Aul
    We didn't find anything today,
[10:01] Aul
    but after some discussion, we've decided to
    explore the west side of the forest tomorrow.
[10:05] Chris
    The west side? That area's pretty dangerous.
[10:08] Aul
    Yeah. So we'll leave the horses here.
[10:11] Naruca
    Wouldn't it be more efficient to check
    everywhere we can on horseback first?
[10:15] Aul
    No.
[10:16] Aul
    We go west. I feel like there's
    definitely something there.
[10:26] Gilg
    Well, if you say so, that's what we'll do.
[10:30] Josh
    You're the deputy commander, after all.
[10:32] Beth
    So is that everything?
[10:35] Aul
    Oh, uh, yeah!
[10:37] Aul
    We'll take turns watching the fire,
    but you should all rest until you're up.
[10:44] Rose
    You should sleep, too.
[10:46] Rose
    I'll take first watch.
[10:49] Aul
    Oh, okay.
[11:03] Rose
    Looks like someone's having trouble sleeping.
[11:06] Rose
    Should I give you a hand?
[11:09] Aul
    H-How'd you know I was awake?
[11:11] Rose
    Instinct.
[11:12] Aul
    What? That's terrifying...
[11:21] Aul
    Um, is it okay if I ask you something?
[11:24] Rose
    What is it?
[11:26] Aul
    Why did you choose me
    as your deputy commander?
[11:30] Rose
    What?
[11:30] Aul
    I mean, I'm pretty average compared
    to everyone else in our unit.
[11:35] Aul
    There's nothing particularly
    special about me...
[11:39] Rose
    Are you trying to tell me
    you're not fit for the job?
[11:43] Aul
    You've personally trained
    this unit to be the best.
[11:46] Aul
    As deputy commander, I basically just write
    reports and send equipment requests...
[11:52] Aul
    I'm pretty much an errand runner.
[11:55] Rose
    It's a job someone's gotta do.
[11:57] Rose
    I haven't gotten complaints
    and you haven't screwed up,
[12:00] Rose
    so I'd say you're doing okay.
[12:02] Aul
    Well, yeah.
[12:04] Aul
    I'm always desperately doing my best.
[12:06] Rose
    Then I can probably hand over
    the commander title in the future.
[12:10] Aul
    Huh? Commander?!
[12:12] Rose
    I'm in charge of an entire battalion now.
    I can't personally lead this unit forever.
[12:18] Rose
    I'll put it in your hands someday.
[12:21] Aul
    No, no, no! There's no way!
[12:23] Aul
    If I take over, there'll be civil unrest!
[12:26] Aul
    First of all, I'd get beaten to a pulp!
[12:29] Rose
    Just what do you think your comrades are?
[12:32] Aul
    Anyway, there's absolutely no way!
    You can never stop being our commander!
[12:40] Aul
    As you know, I'm pretty stubborn.
[12:44] Aul
    I don't listen to orders I don't like,
[12:48] Aul
    and I stand firm about what I feel
     is right, even if others are against it.
[12:54] Rose
    I know.
[12:56] Aul
    No one can control me.
[12:59] Aul
    If someone complains,
    I shut them up with my own strength.
[13:03] Aul
    That's how I've spent my knighthood.
[13:07] Rose
    Yeah, you were pretty famous.
[13:09] Rose
    You were a strong knight,
    but you didn't listen to your superiors.
[13:19] Aul
    And then... I met you.
[13:24] Aul
    I continued to ignore orders
    I didn't like, but...
[13:30] Aul
    Before you, common sense, violence,
    and everything else was meaningless.
[13:37] Aul
    You'd whack if I didn't listen.
[13:39] Aul
    You'd chase me down when
    I tried to flee past the border.
[13:43] Aul
    When I tried to hit you,
[13:45] Aul
    you decked me so hard that I lost
    consciousness along with all memories of it.
[13:50] Rose
    I don't ever remember hitting you that hard.
[13:53] Aul
    That's a funny joke!
[13:56] Aul
    At the time, I didn't want to
    let you get the better of me.
[14:01] Aul
    No matter how hard the training was,
    I wanted to succeed and get one over on you.
[14:06] Aul
    After all, I hate to lose.
[14:09] Rose
    Come to think of it, you did get really
     motivated about training after a while.
[14:13] Rose
    Not that you've done anything too amazing.
[14:16] Aul
    Maybe that's what it looked like to you,
    but it was a first for me!
[14:21] Aul
    I never had someone look after me
     to the very end without giving up.
[14:27] Aul
    Everyone else eventually got fed up,
    but you continued to challenge me.
[14:33] Aul
    It annoyed me to no end...
    but it also made me happy.
[14:40] Aul
    I think everyone in our
    unit feels the same way.
[14:44] Aul
    You're the one who understands us the best.
[14:48] Aul
    That's why you're the only person
     who can be our commander!
[14:59] Rose
    Don't be spoiled.
[15:00] Rose
    You're just a brat who doesn't
     want to leave the nest.
[15:03] Aul
    I can't believe that's how you respond
    to me bashfully baring my soul...
[15:07] Aul
    I-I'd expect no less of our commander.
[15:09] Rose
    I understand you guys best.
    That's what you said, right?
[15:13] Aul
    Y-Yes.
[15:15] Rose
    So do you really think I'd pass command
     to someone who wasn't worthy?
[15:19] Aul
    Huh? Well, but...
[15:23] Rose
    I didn't pick you as
     deputy commander at random.
[15:26] Rose
    I made the choice with confidence.
[15:28] Aul
    What?!
[15:30] Rose
    You never give up once you've
    put your mind to something.
[15:34] Rose
    You keep looking forward,
    no matter the situation.
[15:37] Rose
    For those around you, that mentality is
    a stable foundation for them to stand on.
[15:42] Aul
    Huh?
[15:44] Rose
    That means if you just keep doing
    what you do, others will follow you.
[15:50] Aul
    They'll follow me on their own?
[15:55] Rose
    Why are you so dense that I have
    to spell it all out for you?
[15:58] Aul
    I won't know what you won't tell me!
[16:01] Rose
    That's a pretty wide grin you've got there.
[16:05] Rose
    Need another one?
[16:07] Aul
    N-N-N-No, thank you!
[16:10] Rose
    Listen, Aul. Nothing ever stays the same.
[16:14] Rose
    Everything changes.
[16:18] Rose
    You won't be able to move forward
    if you don't accept that.
[16:21] Rose
    But no matter what, the fact that
    I was your leader won't ever change.
[16:28] Rose
    There's no need to think too deeply about it.
[16:33] Aul
    Yeah...
[16:34] Rose
    Well, it's time to switch shifts.
    I'm going to sleep.
[16:39] Aul
    R-Right. I'll take over.
[16:42] Rose
    You do that.
[16:45] Rose
    Hey! All of you should
    get some proper sleep.
[16:48] Aul
    Huh? All of us?
[16:50] Gilg
    Deputy Commander, I trust you.
[16:54] Naruca
    I don't hate you, you know?
[16:56] Aul
    Y-You guys!
[16:58] Beth
    None of us dislike you.
[17:01] Josh
    We always listen to you
    when it counts, don't we?
[17:04] Chris
    You worry too much, Deputy Commander.
[17:09] Aul
    You can't say that stuff when
    you're holding back laughter!
[17:12] Aul
    Get over here!
[17:15] Aul
    I'll kick all your butts before
    we even get to the demons!
[17:19] Aul
    Take this!
[17:32] Gilg
    Commander!
[17:35] Rose
    Claw marks from a glow wolf?
[17:37] Aul
    There are footprints
    and fresh blood over here.
[17:41] Josh
    Looks like the demons
    really are hunting monsters.
[17:44] Chris
    But why?
[17:46] Chris
    What's the point of entering
    human territory to hunt monsters?
[17:50] Naruca
    Maybe they're doing it for fun?
[17:53] Aul
    That'd be pretty anticlimactic,
[17:55] Aul
    but my gut tells me there's
     some other reason for it.
[18:03] Rose
    Everyone, battle formation! Let's go!
[18:11] Nero
    You were a tough one.
[18:13] Nero
    Carry them out.
[18:30] Nero
    Looks like they're finally onto us.
[18:45] Rose
    Don't come out yet.
[18:48] Aul
    Understood.
[18:54] Rose
    What are you doing sneaking
    around human territory?
[18:57] Rose
    Are you demons planning
     to keep monsters as pets?
[19:05] Nero
    I don't particularly care
     for this mission myself.
[19:10] Nero
    But I had no choice, considering
    the benefits it will bring later.
[19:15] Rose
    And what is this mission, exactly?
[19:17] Nero
    You really think I'd say?
[19:19] Rose
    Well, whatever.
[19:21] Rose
    So what will you do?
[19:23] Rose
    We can still avoid conflict at this point.
[19:26] Rose
    I'll let this slide if you go home quietly.
[19:28] Nero
    A rather bold declaration.
[19:31] Nero
    And you look like you might
    have the muscle to back it up.
[19:34] Nero
    However, I can't let you leave here
    alive now that you've spotted us.
[19:40] Nero
    I need you all to die.
[19:45] Rose
    Aul, I'm putting you in command.
[19:48] Aul
    Huh?
[19:48] Rose
    I won't be able to give orders
    while I'm dealing with this guy.
[19:52] Rose
    I'm depending on you.
[19:55] Aul
    Right!
[19:57] Nero
    Let us see which of us will die.
[20:01] Rose
    Come and get me.
[20:03] Rose
    If you can, that is!
[20:07] Aul
    Guys! Show these clumsy demons
    the power of our teamwork!
[20:11] Knights
    Yeah!
[20:15] Nero
    Wind, become my legs and my shield!
[20:18] Nero
    My body will be as a blade to cut
    down everything in your path!
[20:23] Rose
    Wind armor?
[20:31] Nero
    I can't believe a normal human
    can keep up with this spee—
[20:34] Rose
    Shut up!
[20:46] Rose
    I can't get a good hit in.
[20:49] Rose
    He manipulated the wind
    in that split second...
[20:54] Rose
    I'll leave everything here to you guys.
[20:56] Aul
    Be careful over there!
[21:02] Rose
    You've got some petty tricks, all right!
[21:06] Rose
    Found you!
[22:00] Nero
    I've never seen such a strong human before.
[22:03] Nero
    Even as my enemy, you're worthy of praise.
[22:05] Rose
