[00:01] Makoto
    An isekai adventure normally
    starts like this...
[00:06] Makoto
    Or like this.
[00:08] Makoto
    A kind goddess grants a
    mortal heroic powers,
SIGN    Starting Town
[00:12] Makoto
    and beloved by the residents
    of the other world,
[00:14] Makoto
    the hero enjoys adventures
    with cute heroines.
[00:18] Makoto
    I used to think that way, too.
[00:22] Makoto
    But these are my heroines.
[00:25] Makoto
    And these are my adventures.
[00:29] Makoto
    To top it all off, I suffer fates like these.
[00:32] Makoto
    What I've learned since
    coming to another world is...
[00:37] Makoto
    It is the case that
[00:38] Makoto
    when it comes to isekai
[00:40] Makoto
    I have awful luck.
[00:42] Makoto
    I am Misumi Makoto, and my life is a joke.
[02:17] Makoto
    It was an ordinary day.
[02:20] Makoto
    In the morning, I ate
    breakfast with my family.
[02:22] Makoto
    After school, I had archery practice.
[02:25] Makoto
    I went home and had dinner.
[02:27] Makoto
    After taking a bath, I browsed
    the web and did some reading.
SIGN    Knights of Another World (Part Two)
[02:30] (Flashback) Makoto
    Hey, Dad's new book came out.
SIGN    MISUMI
[02:34] Makoto
    It was an ordinary, peaceful day.
[02:38] Makoto
    So I should be asleep in my house.
[02:43] Makoto
    Where am I?
[02:43] [SONG] Eptitle
    Night One        Failed... Hero
[02:45] Tsukuyomi
    You seem rather calm.
[02:48] Makoto
    Who's there?
[02:49] Tsukuyomi
    Would you believe me if I said I was a god?
[02:51] Makoto
    Definitely not.
[02:53] Tsukuyomi
    You're about to enter another world.
[02:56] Tsukuyomi
    Please provide your signature
    to indicate your consent.
[02:58] Makoto
    I can't be suddenly whisked
    off into an isekai.
[03:02] Tsukuyomi
    That's odd. I was told they
    already ran the idea by you.
[03:05] Tsukuyomi
    Forgive me.
[03:08] Tsukuyomi
    I am the ruler of the realm of night, Tsukuyomi.
[03:12] Tsukuyomi
    I have come to make you a hero and hand
    you over to the goddess of another world.
[03:17] Makoto
    Tsukuyomi? As in Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto?
[03:20] Makoto
    As in one of the three noble children
    from Japanese mythology?
[03:23] Tsukuyomi
    Ah, you're quite well-read.
[03:26] Makoto
    What's Tsukuyomi doing here?
[03:29] Tsukuyomi
    You really don't know anything.
[03:32] Tsukuyomi
    First, your parents are from another world.
[03:37] Makoto
    Huh?
[03:38] Makoto
    What?!
[03:40] Makoto
    Now that you mention it,
    I've never met any of my relatives.
[03:44] Makoto
    But an isekai?
[03:46] Tsukuyomi
    Due to certain circumstances,
[03:47] Tsukuyomi
    your parents signed a contract with the
    goddess of another world and came to Japan.
[03:52] Tsukuyomi
    They agreed to someday give her
    whatever was most important to them.
[03:58] Makoto
    You mean if I don't go, one of my sisters,
    Yukiko or Mari, will be taken?
[04:03] Tsukuyomi
    Indeed.
[04:05] Makoto
    Very well, I'll go. But...
[04:09] Tsukuyomi
    Do not worry, Makoto-dono.
[04:12] Tsukuyomi
    I shall dispose of the numerous products you
    own which depict the stuff of men's dreams.
[04:18] Makoto
    You really are a god!
[04:24] Tsukuyomi
    The contract looks good.
[04:26] Tsukuyomi
    Are you sure this letter is the only
    thing I need to deliver to your family?
[04:28] Makoto
    Yes.
[04:30] Tsukuyomi
    In that case...
[04:31] Makoto
    What's this?
[04:33] Tsukuyomi
    You must shed the world
    you've lived in until now.
[04:35] Tsukuyomi
    I shall grant you all the power I can.
[04:38] Makoto
    Thank... you?!
[04:42] Tsukuyomi
    Goddess, do you intend to take
    him without even saying hello?
[04:47] Tsukuyomi
    Makoto-dono, the goddess you're about
    to meet has a lot of problems.
[04:51] Tsukuyomi
    But try to be as patient
    with her as you can.
[04:55] Makoto
    I will.
[04:56] Makoto
    If you say so, then I'll accept her,
    no matter how ridiculous she may be.
[05:04] Makoto
    It's so bright!
[05:06] Goddess
    You're already here?
[05:08] Goddess
    Old Tsukuyomi must have grown pretty weak.
[05:12] Makoto
    The g-goddess?
[05:14] Goddess
    The demons and spirits of this world
    have begun doing as they please.
[05:20] Goddess
    My hyumans are in big trouble.
[05:23] Goddess
    I thought I'd summon you to help...
[05:28] Goddess
    Are you really their child?
[05:31] Goddess
    But you're so ugly.
[05:34] Goddess
    Not a trace of swan in you.
[05:36] Goddess
    Whose ugly duckling are you?
[05:38] Goddess
    Anyway, I guess I'll be
    using the cooling-off rule.
[05:40] Goddess
    Could you get out of my sight, please?
[05:42] Goddess
    Your existence disgusts and irritates me.
[05:45] Makoto
    Y-You're the one who summoned me!
[05:47] Goddess
    You savage! Even your voice is ugly!
[05:50] Goddess
    I've found other heroes
    suitable for my world.
[05:54] Goddess
    You can stay put at the edge of my world, filth.
[05:58] Makoto
    What?
[05:59] Goddess
    I hate to give you any power,
[06:03] Goddess
    but I'll compromise by giving
    you the ability to understand,
[06:06] Goddess
    speak, read, and write languages
    other than the hyuman language.
[06:09] Goddess
    What a hassle.
[06:13] Goddess
    Enjoy a meager life with
    lowly orcs and goblins.
[06:17] Goddess
    Whatever you do, don't spread your
    hideous seed among my hyumans.
[06:22] Goddess
    Now go.
[06:24] Goddess
    I wonder if the fall will kill him.
[06:27] Goddess
    I couldn't bear it if he came back.
[06:30] Makoto
    You can't be serious!
[06:33] Makoto
    You can't treat me like a pest!
[06:35] Makoto
    Damn it!
[06:38] Tsukuyomi
    Makoto-dono.
[06:39] Makoto
    Tsukuyomi-sama!
[06:42] Tsukuyomi
    I didn't think the goddess
    would resort to such violence.
[06:45] Tsukuyomi
    Well, you should be fine
    falling from this height.
[06:48] Makoto
    What?
[06:49] Tsukuyomi
    The world you lived in was a harsh and
    barren world beyond our protection.
[06:55] Tsukuyomi
    Your magic powers and physical body
    were under considerable strain.
[07:00] Tsukuyomi
    Released from that burden, you should
    be quite powerful in this world.
[07:04] Makoto
    How awfully convenient.
[07:06] Tsukuyomi
    But you can still die. You've been warned.
[07:10] Makoto
    Huh?
[07:12] Makoto
    Tsukuyomi-sama, your body...
[07:14] Tsukuyomi
    This communication consumed
    a great deal of strength.
[07:17] Tsukuyomi
    I must now sleep for several centuries.
[07:21] Makoto
    No way...
[07:22] Tsukuyomi
    The goddess herself stripped
    you of your role as a hero.
[07:27] Tsukuyomi
    There's no need for restraint.
[07:29] Tsukuyomi
    Misumi Makoto, in the name of Tsukuyomi,
[07:35] Tsukuyomi
    I grant you freedom in your new world.
[07:38] Tsukuyomi
    I pray we meet again in the
    cycle of life and death.
[07:45] Makoto
    Tsukuyomi-sama...
[07:51] Makoto
    Understood.
[08:00] Makoto
    It's already been three days
    since I fell to this land
[08:05] Makoto
    and began walking toward
    that tall mountain.
[08:09] Makoto
    I haven't found any people, animals, or food.
[08:12] Makoto
    Am I still barely able to move after three days
    of no food or water because I'm superhuman?
[08:19] Makoto
    Talking to myself feels so fruitless.
[08:23] Makoto
    For three days, I've heard nothing but my
    own voice, my footsteps, and the wind.
[08:28] Makoto
    Normally, some kind of event would've
    happened before I reached this point!
[08:36] Makoto
    I'm so lonely.
[08:39] Emma
    Someone help me.
[08:42] Makoto
    Where? Where did that come from?
[08:45] Emma
    Someone help me.
[08:47] Makoto
    This way!
[08:50] Emma
    Someone help me.
[08:53] Makoto
    Gladly!
[08:56] Makoto
    Huh?
[08:57] Makoto
    A two-headed dog...
[08:59] Makoto
    and a pig wearing clothes?
[09:01] Makoto
    No matter! It beats being alone!
[09:05] Resoud
    Who are you?
[09:08] Makoto
    Hello! I'm Makoto the human!
[09:11] Resoud
    What? He's too fast!
[09:13] Makoto
    Nice to meet you!
[09:19] Makoto
    Huh?
[09:27] Makoto
    Gross...
[09:30] Makoto
    I-I screwed up.
[09:35] Makoto
    Uh, um...
[09:38] Makoto
    Nice to meet you.
[09:40] Emma
    What? How is a hyuman speaking to me?
[09:43] Makoto
    How am I speaking to a pig?
[09:46] Makoto
    I-In any case, it's okay.
[09:48] Makoto
    I'm a kind, gentle guy.
[09:50] Emma
    Definitely not gentle...
[09:53] Makoto
    But I saved you, right?
[09:56] Makoto
    In other words, I'm on your side.
SIGN    1: Flee
SIGN    Yes
SIGN    Impossible
SIGN    2: Fight
SIGN    Yes
SIGN    Even More Impossible
SIGN    3: Give Up
SIGN    Yes
[10:03] Emma
    O-Okay.
[10:04] Makoto
    Great!
[10:06] Makoto
    I've actually been lost for three days.
[10:09] Makoto
    Do you know which way I should
    head to find other people?
[10:12] Emma
    There aren't any hyuman villages nearby.
[10:16] Emma
    This barren place, known as the Wasteland,
    is at the edge of the world.
[10:19] Makoto
    That crappy goddess really did
    send me to the Far Corner of the World.
[10:24] Emma
    I-I'm a Highland Orc. My name is Emma.
[10:28] Makoto
    Oh, I'm Makoto.
[10:30] Makoto
    Hey, is your village around here?
[10:34] Emma
    No. I was on my way to that divine mountain
[10:40] Emma
    to offer myself as a sacrifice to the Shin.
[10:44] Makoto
    It's an event!
[10:46] Emma
    For the past several years, my village
    has been enveloped in a fog.
[10:50] Emma
    Our crops stopped producing.
[10:52] Emma
    Offering sacrifices caused
    the fog to subside.
[10:56] Makoto
    And now it's your turn?
[10:58] Emma
    Up ahead is a place where
    you can purify yourself.
[11:02] Emma
    To thank you for saving me from the risoud,
[11:04] Emma
    you can wash away the exhaustion
    from your travels there.
[11:07] Makoto
    She's intelligent, and a good person, too.
[11:10] Makoto
    I'd like to save her if I can.
[11:12] Emma
    Makoto-sama?
[11:13] Makoto
    What a nice floral smell.
[11:17] Makoto
    If I rescued this young woman...
[11:20] Makoto
    She'd definitely become my heroine.
[11:29] Makoto
    My first meal in three days.
[11:31] Orcs
    I heard hyumans are a
    violent and cruel bunch.
[11:34] Orcs
    Maybe he's got some demi-human
    blood in him. Just look at him.
[11:39] Makoto
    Sorry I'm so ugly.
[11:43] Makoto
    No way! The bowls are floating!
[11:45] Emma
    It's just everyday transportation magic.
[11:48] Makoto
    Emma-san, you can use magic?
[11:51] Emma
    What? Makoto-sama, you can't?
[11:54] Makoto
    No. Not at all, actually.
[11:57] Makoto
    Could you teach me how?
[12:01] Emma
    Let's start with the basics.
[12:04] Emma
    I summon thee, flame that
    is the core of fire...
[12:07] Emma
    Bhrid.
[12:09] Makoto
    Wow!
[12:12] Emma
    This spell is like a magic key that gives
    mana properties or changes its nature.
[12:18] Emma
    It's a little difficult to cast
    since it's not in orcish.
[12:21] Makoto
    It sounds like the same language to me.
[12:25] Makoto
    I summon thee, flame that
    is the core of fire.
[12:29] Makoto
    Bhrid.
[12:32] Makoto
    Whoa, I did it!
[12:33] Makoto
    What do I do now?
[12:35] Emma
    I-Imagine a ball of fire and
    throw it at your target.
[12:39] Makoto
    Imagine, huh? Imagine...
[12:43] Makoto
    Then fly!
[12:48] Makoto
    All right!
[12:49] Makoto
    Does this mean I've mastered the spell?
[12:51] Emma
    I can't believe you did it so easily.
[12:54] Emma
    Makoto-sama, what's your current level?
[12:58] Makoto
    There are levels?
[13:02] Orcs
    What's going on?
[13:03] Orcs
    She's measuring his level.
[13:05] Orcs
    Let's see.
[13:06] Emma
    You're probably Level 200...
    no, probably 300.
[13:10] Emma
    Please grab this paper.
[13:12] Makoto
    Okay.
[13:14] Makoto
    What level is this?
[13:16] Emma
    Um...
[13:18] Emma
    Level 1.
[13:21] Makoto
    One?
[13:24] Emma
    Um, shall I teach you some other spells, too?
[13:28] Makoto
    Yeah, thanks.
[13:35] Emma
    Makoto-sama?
[13:38] Emma
    Makoto-sama?
[13:41] Makoto
    Dear Emma.
[13:43] Makoto
    Thanks for yesterday.
[13:45] Makoto
    I'm taking the list of spells
    and equipment you gave me.
[13:49] Makoto
    It's not much of a thank you, but I'll
    see what I can do about the Shin.
[13:54] Emma
    I don't believe it.
[13:56] Makoto
    I was able to read that list
    of spells and write a letter.
[13:59] Makoto
    Must be that crappy goddess's power.
[14:03] Makoto
    If I disappear after defeating the Shin,
    I should be able to avoid a wedding event.
[14:09] Makoto
    Ideally, I'd like to talk things out,
[14:11] Makoto
    but I should practice in
    case we have to fight.
[14:17] Makoto
    Bhrid.
[14:19] Makoto
    All right. It works even if
    I don't speak the incantation.
[14:23] Makoto
    If I can change the shape of my mana,
    then I'll go with this.
[14:27] Makoto
    That'll work as a target.
[14:37] Makoto
    All right. It worked.
[14:41] Makoto
    What?!
[14:44] Makoto
    Damn...
[14:49] Makoto
    I'm sorry!
[14:51] Demon
    Do you work for the orcs?
[14:56] Makoto
    They very obviously look like bad guys.
[15:01] Demon
    We used the Shin's name
    to subjugate the orcs.
[15:07] Demon
    But you were rash.
[15:09] Demon
    You laid waste to his home.
[15:12] Demon
    The Shin's wrath will
    surely become real now.
[15:15] Demon
    It's what you deserve.
[15:19] Makoto
    Clouds?
[15:21] Makoto
    No, mist?
[15:29] Makoto
    According to folklore, shen are supposed
    to be giant clams that produce mirages.
[15:38] Makoto
    But what's normal to me
    isn't normal in this isekai.
[15:46] Makoto
    He's attacking already?
[15:52] Makoto
    I'm safe. I'm still alive!
[15:57] Makoto
    The mist is blinding me.
[15:58] Makoto
    And this is no ordinary mist.
[16:10] Makoto
    I dodged him.
[16:12] Makoto
    Was it instinct? No...
[16:21] Makoto
    Is this the power Tsukuyomi-sama gave me?
[16:28] Shen
    Fire bhrid, huh?
[16:30] Shen
    Getting hit by that spell
    doesn't even tickle.
[16:37] Shen
    An injury? I'm injured?!
    But I'm resistant to fire!
[16:42] Makoto
    Desperate!
[16:44] Makoto
    Punch!
[16:46] Makoto
    Into!
[16:48] Makoto
    Backhand!
[16:50] Shen
    Who is this creature?
[16:52] Shen
    I'm supposed to be invincible.
[16:55] Makoto
    Now for the finisher!
[16:57] Makoto
    Frog Jump Uppercut!
[17:00] Shen
    Damn you...
[17:05] Shen
    Damn you!
[17:08] Makoto
    Wh-What's going on?
[17:11] Shen
    It's over now. You'll drown in
    happiness inside my memory illusion.
[17:22] Makoto
    I'm in great shape.
[17:24] Hasegawa
    E-Excuse me.
[17:27] Makoto
    Oh, Hasegawa. What's up?
[17:30] Hasegawa
    U-Um, I...
[17:33] Makoto
    A side ponytail.
[17:34] Makoto
    She's been doing her hair that way ever
    since I complimented it a while back.
[17:38] Makoto
    Doesn't it make her head hurt?
[17:41] Hasegawa
    Misumi-senpai...
[17:43] Hasegawa
    I've always looked up to you.
[17:45] Hasegawa
    I like you. Will you go out with me?
[17:49] Makoto
    What?
[17:52] Makoto
    Honestly, I'm not the best-looking.
[17:56] Makoto
    I like school, but I'm not very smart.
[17:59] Makoto
    On top of that...
[18:01] Hasegawa
    Senpai?
[18:03] Makoto
    No, wait. Wait a minute.
[18:05] Makoto
    This is too sudden.
[18:10] Makoto
    Wait!
[18:12] Makoto
    Don't cry, Hasegawa.
[18:14] Hasegawa
    Then we can just try it out for a while.
[18:17] Hasegawa
    You can fall in love with me that way.
[18:19] Makoto
    Huh?!
[18:21] Hasegawa
    We can't do that?
[18:22] Makoto
    I-I can't say no.
[18:25] Shen
    Ah, he's a visitor from another world.
[18:30] Shen
    Huh? This memory...
[18:32] Shen
    What is this? I've never
    seen anything like this.
[18:35] Shen
    I want to ask him about it...
    Have him tell me all about it!
[18:39] Hasegawa
    When I saw you draw your bow,
    I couldn't take my eyes off of you.
[18:44] Hasegawa
    It's the reason I joined the archery club.
[18:47] Hasegawa
    Senpai?
[18:49] Makoto
    I-I see. Thanks, Hasegawa.
[18:52] Hasegawa
    Please call me by my name.
[18:54] Hasegawa
    It's Nukumi.
[18:57] Makoto
    Okay, but right now, we're still...
[19:00] Hasegawa
    Senpai, let's hang out a
    bunch over summer break.
[19:03] Makoto
    Y-Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
[19:07] Makoto
    No. This isn't real.
[19:11] Makoto
    After all, what really happened was...
[19:14] Makoto
    I made Hasegawa cry.
[19:17] Makoto
    Hasegawa, I'm sorry for making
    you act out this farce.
[19:23] Makoto
    I'm starting to understand the
    power Tsukuyomi-sama gave me.
[19:28] Makoto
    I can create a semicircular area around
    myself and manipulate the space inside it.
[19:35] Makoto
    For example, I can search the
    area without being noticed,
[19:40] Makoto
    as well as strengthen things.
[19:43] Makoto
    Shin, thank you for teaching
    me just how pathetic I am.
[19:49] Shen
    Such exceptional power!
[19:51] Shen
    But I no longer feel any
    hostility toward him.
[19:55] Makoto
    Hey.
[19:59] Shen
    Please lay down your arms.
[20:01] Shen
    Though it was merely an illusion
    depicting your desires,
[20:03] Shen
    I apologize for the unpleasant experience.
[20:07] Makoto
    That was my desire?
[20:10] Shen
    Visitor from another world, my name is Shin.
[20:14] Shen
    As a greater dragon,
    I'm considered invincible.
[20:17] Makoto
    I'm Misumi Makoto.
[20:19] Makoto
    As you said, I came here from another world.
[20:22] Shen
    Makoto-dono, would you like
    to enter a contract with me?
[20:25] Makoto
    A what?
[20:26] Shen
    A contract is a special type of
    magic that grants various benefits
[20:29] Shen
    when the parties pledge an oath to one another.
[20:32] Shen
    Both parties are empowered,
    depending on each other's relative strength.
[20:36] Makoto
    In other words?
[20:37] Shen
    I'll become your companion.
[20:41] Shen
    I promise you won't be disappointed.
[20:44] Shen
    I'm terribly interested in your memories.
[20:47] Shen
    I await your positive response.
[20:49] Makoto
    Hey, how much of my memories did you see?
[20:52] Makoto
    What secrets did you uncover?
[20:54] Shen
    I wonder. I believe a contract
    would benefit the both of us.
[20:59] Makoto
    You schemer...
[21:01] Makoto
    Fine! I look forward to working with you!
[21:04] Shen
    I hope our relationship lasts
    for many years to come.
[21:06] Shen
    Then let us perform the contract ritual.
[21:11] Shen
    We'll start with a 50-50 pact.
[21:15] Shen
    He overpowered me?
[21:17] Shen
    Then let's try 70-30.
[21:20] Shen
    He's too exceptional!
[21:22] Shen
    Then let's try 80-20!
[21:27] Shen
    It's finally approaching
    the correct balance.
[21:30] Shen
    I'm practically his slave, though.
[21:34] Shen
    No matter. I'm excited to see what he...
[21:37] Shen
    no, what my master will do going forward.
[21:43] Shen
    The time I'm about to spend with my master
    will surely be the greatest period of my life.
[21:50] Shen
    I look forward to working with you, Master.
[21:55] Makoto
    A cool beauty in Japanese clothes?
[21:57] Shen
    I prefer that you call me a samurai.
[22:00] Makoto
    You're more hero than heroine...
