**[00:00] Makoto/N**
*Summer vacation.*
**[00:02] Makoto/N**
* The season when everyone grows,*
* regardless of status or age.*
**[00:07] Makoto/N**
* Misumi Makoto sets his own goals*
* and steps out into the summer sun.*
**[00:13] Luto**
Are you serious?
**[00:16] Makoto**
I meant 100% of what I said.
**[00:19] Makoto**
Why are you looking at me like that?
**[00:20] Luto**
You have far more mana than me,
and yet you still want more?
**[00:27] Makoto**
No, no. I want to increase the amount
of mana I can expend at once.
**[00:31] Makoto**
My, uh... output, I guess?
**[00:33] Makoto**
Right now, I feel like I'm really inefficient.
**[00:36] Luto**
Listen, in most cases, there isn't anything
people can do to increase their own mana.
**[00:42] Makoto**
But my maximum mana seems to have increased.
**[00:45] Luto**
If a research organization
found out about that,
**[00:49] Luto**
they'd cut you up and experiment on you.
**[00:51] Makoto**
Seriously?
**[00:53] Luto**
Seriously. Heck, I'd like to know
how you've increased it, too.
**[00:58] Makoto**
All I do is draw a bow every day.
**[01:02] Luto**
Yeah, yeah. If you insist, then I
should have something around here.
**[01:07] Luto**
Here it is.
**[01:08] Makoto**
What's this?
**[01:09] Luto**
Training methods related to mana.
**[01:11] Luto**
I don't know if they're effective, though.
**[01:14] Makoto**
Ooh, thanks!
**[01:15] Luto**
You're a teacher and a merchant,
and yet you're as studious as a student.
**[01:20] Makoto**
Maybe it's because the
academy's on summer break.
**[01:25] Makoto**
I always felt restless before
breaks and looked forward
**[01:28] Makoto**
to planning how I'd spend my time.
**[01:30] Makoto**
I just felt like doing a bunch of things.
**[01:35] Luto**
There's nothing wrong
with remembering the past.
**[01:39] Luto**
I pray you have a wonderful summer vacation.

Night Eleven Summer of Growth and New Skills
**[03:19] Eva**
You seem busy.
**[03:21] Eva**
I hear you're training your
students over summer break.
**[03:26] Makoto**
*They're all such motivated kids.*
**[03:28] Eva**
Most full-time instructors have
gone on vacation or returned home.
**[03:32] Eva**
Not many teachers are like you.
**[03:34] Eva**
Personally, I like that sort of teacher, though.
**[03:37] Makoto**
*Thank you.*
**[03:39] Makoto**
* Anyway, you said you found*
* a book to recommend to me.*
**[03:42] Eva**
Yes. This is it.
**[03:45] Makoto**
*Is this... an essay?*
**[03:48] Eva**
Yes. You seemed interested
in the use of mana,
**[03:53] Eva**
so I found this unusual text for you.
**[03:56] Makoto/Id**
* The potential for physical interference of*
* mana, from the perspective of visualization.*
**[04:02] Eva**
It's an essay based on unique theories
that only true connoisseurs can appreciate.
**[04:08] Makoto/Id**
*In other words, it's for hardcore nerds.*
**[04:11] Makoto**
*It certainly sounds interesting.*
**[04:14] Makoto**
* I have yet another goal*
* for this summer break.*
**[04:17] Eva**
Goals for summer break?
**[04:20] Eva**
You sound like a student.
**[04:23] Makoto/Id**
*Well, I am a student.*
**[04:28] Emma**
Young Master!
**[04:29] Makoto/N**
*How time flies.*
**[04:32] Makoto/N**
*Essays, training, and managerial duties.*
**[04:37] Makoto/N**
* Summer in the demiplane*
* flew by like an arrow,*
**[04:40] Makoto/N**
*and before I knew it, two weeks had passed.*
**[04:43] Emma**
I'm sorry you're busy every day
with approvals and daily reports.
**[04:51] Makoto**
It's fine. Once the academy's summer
break ends, I'll be busy again.
**[04:56] Makoto**
I'd like to spend as much
time with everyone as I can.
**[05:00] Emma**
I'm glad to hear you say that.
**[05:02] Emma**
We're blessed to have a master like you.
**[05:06] Makoto**
Emma-san?
**[05:10] Makoto**
Let's get started on today's schedule.
**[05:12] Emma**
Oh, I'm sorry!
**[05:15] Emma**
Today, you have a mock battle
against the wingkin.
**[05:19] Emma**
They've already fought the
orcs and others several times,
**[05:24] Emma**
and they're undefeated so far.
**[05:26] Makoto**
Huh. They must be pretty strong.
**[05:28] Emma**
Their ability to fly is
a significant advantage.
**[05:31] Emma**
But with a few more battles...
**[05:35] Emma**
We orcs won't keep losing.
**[05:38] Makoto**
O-Oh, yeah? I'd better pull
myself together, too.
**[05:43] Makoto**
So... where are the wingkin?
**[05:46] Emma**
In those woods. The battle begins
with both sides out of sight.
**[05:51] Emma**
Good luck.
**[05:55] Makoto/Id**
*How should I begin?*
**[06:01] Makoto/Id**
*First, I'll say hello.*
**[06:05] Makoto/Id**
*After firing the first shot, I'll—*
**[06:08] Makoto**
All my shots hit?!
**[06:10] Wingkin**
A-All units have taken fire!
**[06:11] Wingkin**
We're taking more fire than expected!
**[06:13] Shona**
Second wave, advance!
**[06:15] Makoto**
Yeesh.
**[06:17] Makoto/Id**
* With no way to handle long-range*
* attacks and such a weak defense...*
**[06:21] Shona**
All squads, take your positions.
**[06:24] Makoto/Id**
* I see. That certainly*
* obstructs my vision, but...*
**[06:28] Makoto/Id**
*Investigative Kai.*
**[06:33] Makoto/Id**
*Yup, now they're sitting ducks.*
**[06:36] Wingkin**
Prepare for falling debris!
**[06:38] Wingkin**
Deploy magical barriers!
**[06:40] Makoto/Id**
* Emma said they were strong,*
* but they're just flying targets.*
**[06:46] Makoto/Id**
*Is that...*
**[06:48] Makoto/Id**
*It's Chief Kakun.*
**[06:51] Makoto/Id**
*Then that bird must be...*
**[06:53] Makoto/Id**
*His lieutenant, Shona-san.*
**[06:55] Makoto/Id**
* Come to think of it, wingkin can*
* transform into large birds.*
**[07:00] Makoto/Id**
*How will they deal with long-range attacks?*
**[07:04] Makoto/Id**
*Good. That's what I was hoping to see.*
**[07:09] Makoto/Id**
*Enhancement and wind?*
**[07:11] Makoto/Id**
*Are they planning a suicide attack?*
**[07:13] Makoto/Id**
* Maybe the security of being airborne*
* has simplified their attacks.*
**[07:26] Makoto**
A straight line is too predictable.
**[07:28] Kakun**
I-I'm not done yet!
**[07:34] Kakun**
W-We surrender.
**[07:39] Makoto**
Since that was our first mock battle,
I wanted to see how you fight.
**[07:45] Makoto**
But to be honest, you rely too
much on your ability to fly.
**[07:50] Makoto**
In the near future, the highland orcs
and others will crush you in battle.
**[07:55] Emma**
We'll crush you.
**[07:57] Makoto**
You should stop launching
suicide attacks, too.
**[08:00] Makoto**
They make you easy prey
for concentrated fire.
**[08:05] Makoto**
Taking up positions in the sky
**[08:07] Makoto**
and developing several attack
patterns that are likely to succeed
**[08:10] Makoto**
will be your starting point.
**[08:13] Makoto**
That's all for today. Farewell.
**[08:15] Kakun**
Y-Young Master.
**[08:17] Makoto**
What is it?
**[08:19] Kakun**
We'd also like to participate
in developing and exploring
**[08:22] Kakun**
the land and the demiplane ranking.
**[08:24] Makoto**
Anyone can participate in the
demiplane ranking at their own risk.
**[08:29] Makoto**
But I can't allow you to
develop the demiplane.
**[08:34] Makoto**
Your combat abilities make
you unsuited for the job.
**[08:38] Kakun**
I see.
**[08:40] Makoto**
For now, work on developing your strength.
**[08:46] Makoto**
"In other words, when continuously
releasing a large amount of mana,
**[08:51] Makoto**
as a secondary effect,
colorful mana manifests as a weak barrier,
**[08:56] Makoto**
meaning mana becomes visible
according to the volume released,
**[09:00] Makoto**
and it may even materialize
and become possible to touch."
**[09:04] Makoto**
Wait, what?
**[09:06] Makoto**
It's no use. My head's going to burst.
**[09:13] Makoto/Id**
*Just releasing mana is simple enough.*
**[09:22] Makoto/Id**
* I'll keep firing Brids while*
* unleashing large amounts of mana.*
**[09:29] Makoto/Id**
* Using my own mana to*
* maintain this output level*
**[09:32] Makoto/Id**
* feels like removing the barrier*
* between me and my mana.*
**[09:35] Makoto/Id**
*Focus, focus, focus.*
**[09:45] Makoto/Id**
*What is this feeling?*
**[09:48] Makoto/Id**
*Huh? What's happening to me?*
**[09:55] Tomoe**
Young Master. Young Master.
**[09:58] Mio**
Young Master!
**[09:59] Makoto**
Eh?
**[10:00] Makoto**
Huh?!
**[10:02] Mio**
You weren't in your room this morning, so...
**[10:06] Tomoe**
What were you doing?
**[10:08] Tomoe**
You're not the type of man to
get drunk and sleep outdoors.
**[10:11] Makoto**
Oh, right.
**[10:13] Makoto**
I'm... Misumi Makoto.
**[10:16] Tomoe**
Yes, we know that already.
**[10:19] Mio**
Yes, you are Misumi Makoto-sama, my master.
**[10:24] Makoto/Id**
*So I spent all night firing Brids.*
**[10:27] Makoto/Id**
* Come to think of it,*
* I believe this has happened before...*
**[10:38] Makoto**
Tomoe and Mio, thanks for all your help.
**[10:42] Tomoe**
Huh?
**[10:43] Mio**
Huh?
**[10:45] Makoto**
It's nothing. Let's head back.
**[10:54] Makoto**
Breakfast looks delicious as always, Mio.
**[10:56] Mio**
I'm working diligently to learn how
to cook everything while you're here.
**[11:01] Tomoe**
Young Master, might I have a bit of
that persimmon and mashed tofu salad?
**[11:06] Mio**
Tomoe-san, limit yourself
to your own portion.
**[11:09] Tomoe**
It's your fault for making something
**[11:11] Tomoe**
that goes so well with sake
first thing in the morning!
**[11:15] Makoto**
Tomoe, why don't you cut back a little?
**[11:19] Tomoe**
In your country, they say it's worth
selling the farm to enjoy a morning drink.
**[11:26] Tomoe**
This goes fantastic with sake, too!
**[11:29] Mio**
Those are persimmons in mirin.
**[11:31] Mio**
It'd be even better if you made
real mirin for me, Tomoe-san.
**[11:37] Tomoe**
I'm working on miso and mirin right now.
**[11:39] Makoto**
Tomoe, you sure do love the
demiplane's persimmons.
**[11:43] Tomoe**
Indeed I do.
**[11:45] Tomoe**
So much that I think about being buried
in a mountain of persimmons someday.
**[11:49] Makoto**
Don't waste your thoughts on that.
**[11:51] Mio**
Tomoe-san, if you don't behave,
I'll stop serving persimmons.
***SIGN*** Several Days Later
**[12:01] Makoto/Id**
* I've finally learned to utilize*
* the mana outside my body, too.*
**[12:09] Makoto/Id**
*I won't enter a trance-like state again.*
**[12:12] Makoto/Id**
*This time...*
**[12:15] Makoto/Id**
* There was an incantation at the end of the*
* essay that might make mana materialize.*
**[12:21] Makoto/Id**
* It works similarly to the*
* common starch experiment.*
**[12:24] Makoto/Id**
* The stronger you hit it,*
* the harder it becomes.*
**[12:26] Makoto/Id**
*Touch it gently, and it remains a liquid.*
**[12:30] Makoto/Id**
*First, I'll use Concealing Kai to hide my mana.*
**[12:35] Makoto/Id**
*Kazukurani shizumaruyomichi.*
**[12:38] Makoto/Id**
*Bandaika katashirowaniwa sankuaregoshi.*
**[12:45] Makoto/Id**
*It's okay. I have plenty of mana to spare.*
**[12:48] Makoto/Id**
*Now, show me the results.*
**[12:56] Makoto/Id**
*Is this mana's physical form?*
**[13:00] Makoto/Id**
*Yeah.*
**[13:02] Makoto/Id**
*It's following my movements.*
**[13:04] Makoto/Id**
*If I fire a Brid now...*
**[13:10] Makoto/Id**
* Okay. I successfully used*
* the mana outside my body.*
**[13:14] Makoto/Id**
*This is efficient.*
**[13:15] Makoto/Id**
*Next, how strong is its surface?*
**[13:23] Makoto/Id**
*Well, that didn't hurt at all.*
**[13:26] Makoto/Id**
*If it's this strong,*
**[13:28] Makoto/Id**
* I should be able to fight*
* anyone from goddesses*
**[13:31] Makoto/Id**
* to dragon slayers without*
* suffering serious injury.*
**[13:35] Makoto/Id**
*For the demiplane's sake, I cannot fall.*
**[13:40] Makoto/Id**
* If someone has to die,*
* I'd rather it be just me.*
**[13:43] Makoto/Id**
* I don't want to drag anyone who*
* loves me into this conflict.*
**[13:50] Makoto/N**
*And so, half my summer break passed.*
**[13:54] Makoto**
A demonstration of the
races' new combat skills?
**[13:57] Tomoe**
Like your students, the denizens of the
demiplane have been training daily.
**[14:04] Tomoe**
They'd like to show you
what they've learned.
**[14:08] Makoto**
Okay, sure, but what's that?
**[14:11] Voice**
Giant boulder!
***SIGN*** Giant Boulder
**[14:12] Tomoe**
I dug it out of a mountain.
**[14:15] Shiki**
And I cast a special spell upon it.
**[14:19] Makoto**
And everyone unleashes
their new skills on it?
**[14:23] Tomoe**
Its power is expressed as a number.
**[14:27] Mio**
I'm not interested in new combat skills.
**[14:30] Mio**
I'd prefer a cooking contest instead.
**[14:33] Makoto**
Leave some for everyone else.
**[14:39] Komoe**
First up, the highland orcs.
**[14:41] Komoe**
Agares and Emma, begin!
**[14:44] Makoto**
Huh. Emma's participating, too?
**[14:47] Tomoe**
She's the highland orcs' greatest mage.
**[14:50] Tomoe**
She just handles miscellaneous
duties more often.
**[14:53] Emma**
We won't hold back.
**[14:55] Emma**
Accept this spell!
**[15:01] Komoe**
Seventy-eight points!
**[15:05] Makoto**
Seventy-eight points? That's nearly
a test score you'd be happy to receive.
**[15:10] Tomoe**
No, that's actually quite good.
**[15:13] Tomoe**
If that's your standard, then I
feel sorry for the other species.
**[15:17] Komoe**
Next, mist lizards. Begin!
**[15:24] Makoto**
Huh?
**[15:25] Makoto**
What are they aiming at?
**[15:28] Tomoe**
Perhaps they're showing
off to the wingkin.
**[15:30] Tomoe**
"We've acquired a long-range
attack that reaches the skies."
**[15:40] Komoe**
Sixty-eight points!
**[15:43] Komoe**
Next, the elder dwarves. Begin!
**[15:48] Makoto**
That tiny axe can't possibly...
**[15:52] Makoto**
Huh?
**[15:53] Tomoe**
Well, well.
**[15:54] Beren**
Mountain Cleaver.
**[16:00] Komoe**
Seventy points!
**[16:03] Beren**
There's still room for improvement.
**[16:06] Beren**
It's not yet worthy of the
name "Mountain Cleaver."
**[16:09] Komoe**
Next, the alke. Sixty-five points!
**[16:12] Komoe**
Next, the gorgons.
**[16:15] Makoto**
Well, yeah. Turning a rock into
stone will net you zero points.
**[16:19] Komoe**
Finally, the wingkin.
**[16:23] Makoto**
They're marking targets from the
ground and bombing them from above.
**[16:28] Makoto**
It's pretty accurate,
but it still lacks power.
**[16:33] Komoe**
Next, the forest ogres...
**[16:35] Komoe**
Hey, wait.
**[16:37] Makoto**
Why are you dressed like that?
**[16:38] Eris**
We can't wear anything more revealing.
**[16:40] Eris**
This is as much as our confidence allows.
**[16:43] Eris**
Even for you, we struggle to do more.
**[16:45] Makoto**
What?
**[16:46] Eris**
Aqua, let's do this!
**[16:48] Aqua**
I want to die.
**[16:50] Both**
Utterly invincible, kills with a touch!
**[16:53] Both**
Super crazy barrier of
absolute zero, Cocytus!
**[16:58] Eris**
Killer Floral...
**[17:00] Both**
Tribute!
**[17:08] Makoto**
Now that's impressive.
**[17:10] Tomoe**
Not bad.
**[17:13] Eris/N**
*Break it if you can.*
**[17:15] All**
What?!
**[17:16] All**
Are you trying to provoke us?!
**[17:18] All**
Don't underestimate us!
**[17:22] All**
My weapon!
**[17:23] Makoto**
It's remarkably offensive for a barrier.
**[17:26] Makoto**
It might actually be capable
of killing someone.
**[17:29] Tomoe**
It would take even me a
while to break through it.
**[17:33] Tomoe**
As a barrier, it's nearly perfect.
**[17:37] Makoto**
Really?
**[17:40] Eris/N**
*What's wrong? Bring it on.*
**[17:42] Makoto/Id**
*Huh? It's not perfect at all.*
**[17:42] Eris/N**
*You scared, huh? C'mon.*
**[17:45] Eris/N**
*What? Can't anyone break through it?*
**[17:48] Makoto**
There. I got through it.
**[17:51] Aqua**
Y-Young Master?
**[17:52] Eris**
B-B-B-B-But how?
**[17:54] Makoto**
It's certainly impressive,
but it's lacking something.
**[17:59] Makoto**
Consider its shortcomings carefully.
I'm going to dispel it now.
**[18:05] Komoe**
Fifty points?
**[18:07] Tomoe**
What? A bonus stage?
**[18:10] Mio**
Now it's my turn.
**[18:12] Tomoe**
I thought you said you weren't
interested in new combat skills.
**[18:15] Mio**
I'm not, but I didn't want
to miss this opportunity.
**[18:19] Mio**
I thought I'd demonstrate my
other hobby besides cooking.
**[18:24] Makoto**
Are you talking about whatever you
were watching in the memory vault?
**[18:28] Mio/Id**
* Within the intensity,*
* I can sense refinement.*
**[18:32] Mio/Id**
* Delicate and powerful, a form that*
* calls to mind spiders or insects.*
**[18:38] Mio/Id**
*Oh, it's marvelous.*
**[18:41] Mio**
I based it on the figure from your memory.
**[18:47] Mio**
It's still only a prototype, but...
**[18:50] Mio**
I made this.
**[18:52] Makoto**
A h-hero suit?
**[18:56] Komoe**
No reaction.
**[18:58] Komoe**
It's time for the final entry.
**[19:00] Komoe**
Our Shiki has arrived!
**[19:03] Tomoe**
He seems to have acquired
his own new ability.
**[19:07] Tomoe**
Let's see what it can do.
**[19:10] Makoto**
I'm looking forward to it, too.
**[19:12] Shiki**
Come, Thirteen Steps.
**[19:16] Shiki**
Release steps one through three.
**[19:19] Shiki**
Wand, Sword, Cup, Coin.
**[19:24] Tomoe**
Well, well.
**[19:26] Shiki**
Worthy of the sixth step,
unsheathe yourself and show your true self.
**[19:36] Makoto**
Didn't the dwarves make
that weapon for him?
**[19:40] Tomoe**
They insolently made it
effective against dragons.
**[19:44] Tomoe**
I believe they called it a dragon slayer.
**[19:46] Makoto**
Is he expecting a battle against
Mitsurugi... against Lancer?
**[19:51] Tomoe**
Now you've done it, Shiki.
**[20:04] Makoto**
It's not only effective against dragons,
but it's physically powerful, too.
**[20:08] Makoto**
Nice going, Shiki.
**[20:11] Tomoe**
It's all for nothing if he
can't hit anything with it.
**[20:14] Makoto**
Shiki's been watching your and
Mio's progress and training, too.
**[20:18] Makoto**
You should be glad to
be a role model for him.
**[20:23] Makoto**
Maybe I'll end this by
showing off a skill, too.
**[20:26] Tomoe**
What?
**[20:26] Makoto**
It'll be a surprise.
**[20:31] Tomoe**
Everyone, the young master will now
demonstrate a new skill for us.
**[20:35] Tomoe**
Feast your eyes.
**[20:37] All**
Young Master!
**[20:39] All**
You're the best!
**[20:40] Makoto**
Take it easy, everyone.
**[20:42] Makoto**
I just discovered an interesting
application of mana.
**[20:47] Makoto/Id**
* This will be my first time releasing a large*

It strengthens my spells and
functions as powerful armor.

This is mana matter!
