[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.

[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
    amount of mana without Concealing Kai.
[20:57] Shiki
    Wh-What is this?
[20:59] Makoto/Id
    Focus, focus, focus.
[21:06] Shiki
    His mana materialized into its
    densest form, mana matter?
[21:13] Makoto
    Mana matter?
[21:15] Makoto
    I like that name.
[21:17] Makoto
    It strengthens my spells and
    functions as powerful armor.
[21:23] Makoto
    This is mana matter!
[21:37] Makoto
    So, what do you think?
SIGN    Huh?
[21:42] Tomoe
    What is this?!
[21:45] Makoto/N
    Over summer break
[21:47] Makoto/N
    I alone overdid it
[21:48] Makoto/N
    due to excitement.
[21:50] Bear
    What a tremendous current of mana.
[21:54] Bear
    Is that a threat to us?
[21:57] Wolf
    Who knows? Either way,
    we must do something about it.
[23:35] Makoto
