[00:02] Makoto
The students are exhausted, too.
[00:04] Mio
Some mutants appeared among
the students, after all.
[00:08] Mio
It caused quite the commotion.
[00:10] Shiki
They've been regarding each other with
caution and can't return to their own rooms.
[00:15] Shiki
They couldn't be more anxious.
[00:17] Tomoe
That all ends today. Are you two ready?
[00:23] Tomoe
Time to act.

[01:59] Makoto
You're looking better than I expected.
[02:01] Jin
Sir!
[02:02] Makoto
How are you feeling?
[02:04] Daena
We're fine.
[02:05] Izumo
What's the situation in the city?
[02:07] Makoto
Not good.
[02:09] Makoto
The number of mutants hasn't gone down,
[02:10] Makoto
and support from other nations
hasn't arrived yet.
[02:16] Jin
Sir, let us help exterminate the mutants.
[02:19] Abelia
We can fight them, too.
[02:21] Makoto
Calm down. That would be suicide.
[02:23] Mithra
But...
[02:24] Yuno
We just want to help.
[02:26] Shifu
We fought Ilumgand, didn't we?
[02:29] Makoto
The headmaster has ordered me to go
[02:31] Makoto
to the northeastern section where
the merchant's guild is located.
[02:35] Makoto
What if this place is
attacked while I'm gone?
[02:39] Makoto
If more students mutate,
everyone in the dorms will be killed.
[02:44] Makoto
Do you still want to go?
[02:49] Jin
We'll stay.
[02:50] Makoto
Hm?
[02:51] Jin
We'll stay here.
[02:52] Jin
We'll work together to defend this place.
[02:55] Abelia
For Shiki-san, too.
[02:56] Makoto
I'm encouraged to hear that.
I'm counting on you.
[02:59] Students
Let's do this.
[03:00] Students
Yeah.
[03:01] Students
We'll protect the dorms.
[03:02] Students
Yeah.
[03:03] Makoto
Aqua and Eris, look after them.
[03:06] Eris
Aw, man. We gotta babysit the newbies?
[03:08] Aqua
Hey!
[03:33] Shiki
Those are the two the
young master summoned.
[03:36] Tomoe
Rembrandt must be here, too.
[03:38] Makoto
Mio, don't do anything to
the guild representative.
[03:42] Mio
I wouldn't dream of it.
[03:44] Mio
Even if he's been attacked by monsters,
I won't do anything at all.
[03:47] Makoto
Y-You should help him if he's being attacked.
[03:50] Mio
Very well.
[03:51] Makoto/Id
Why did she look away?
[03:55] Rembrandt
Kuzunoha-dono!
[03:58] Rembrandt
Are my daughters all right?
[04:00] Rembrandt
They haven't joined the fighting, have they?
[04:03] Makoto
Don't worry. I assigned some dependable
people to secretly watch over them.
[04:07] Rembrandt
Good.
[04:08] Zara
We meet again, Kuzunoha.
[04:12] Makoto/Id
I feel slightly dizzy and nauseous.
[04:15] Makoto/Id
He's definitely my least favorite
person after the goddess.
[04:19] Zara
I heard you'd be joining
the extermination squads.
[04:22] Zara
Was your shop all right?
[04:24] Makoto
No, it was destroyed.
[04:26] Makoto
There was no damage to my employees
or merchandise, though.
[04:29] Zara
I see. I'm glad they're all right.
[04:32] Makoto/Id
What? Glad they're all right?
[04:36] Rembrandt
He seems rather different from
last time, doesn't he?
[04:39] Rembrandt
Not even he can act so feisty after you
loaned us such dependable guards.
[04:45] Rembrandt
Right?
[04:46] Zara
Silence!
[04:47] Zara
But to think you employed
such monstrous servants...
[04:51] Rembrandt
I revealed your circumstances only to him.
[04:54] Rembrandt
I figured it would make
things go more smoothly.
[04:58] Makoto
I saw signs of looting on my way here.
[05:01] Makoto
What's the extent of the damage
the merchant's guild is aware of?
[05:06] Zara
We don't know the specifics.
[05:07] Zara
Without adequate forces,
there's nothing we can do.
[05:10] Rembrandt
He's a real pain in the rear, isn't he?
[05:13] Rembrandt
I keep telling him we'll be
fine as long as you're—
[05:15] Zara
Pat, enough already!
[05:18] Makoto/Id
Pat?
[05:20] Makoto/Id
Oh, because his name is Patrick?
[05:24] Rembrandt
Anyway, this is how the
merchant's guild is holding up.
[05:28] Rembrandt
He's handling it better than most, too.
[05:30] Rembrandt
More than a few guild members
have suffered such massive losses
[05:33] Rembrandt
that they've lost their minds.
[05:36] Rembrandt
It's not a pretty sight.
[05:40] Makoto
We'll take over exterminating
mutants in this area.
[05:44] Makoto
If you can get in touch with them, you can
have your personal forces return here.
[05:50] Rembrandt
So this isn't even a threat to you.
[05:54] Makoto
We took care of about fifteen on our way here.
[05:57] Zara
What?
[05:58] Makoto
Also, in this area...
[06:00] Shiki
Nine mutants remain.
[06:02] Shiki
No new mutants have appeared.
[06:05] Makoto
The academy has identified the
accessories causing the mutations,
[06:11] Makoto
so I ask that you assist
with retrieving those.
[06:13] Makoto
She'll fill you in on the specifics.
[06:16] Tomoe
Who, me?
[06:20] Zara
You have our full cooperation.
[06:22] Makoto/Id
He's like a completely different person.
[06:27] Makoto
Nine mutants remaining, right?
[06:30] Shiki
Yes, including those currently
engaged in combat.
[06:34] Makoto
Once we take care of those,
let's make it a contest between you two.
[06:39] Makoto
Your prize will be...
[06:42] Makoto
How about if I fulfill one
request from the winner?
[06:45] Both
What?!
[06:46] Shiki
A-Are you sure about that?
[06:48] Mio
No taking it back later.
[06:51] Makoto
Yeah. Try to limit your request to
something I can actually fulfill.
[06:55] Shiki
I wouldn't dream of doing
anything so ignoble.
[06:58] Mio
Young Master, prepare yourself.
[07:01] Zara
Who is that man?
[07:03] Rembrandt
Zara, you're sweating bullets.
[07:06] Zara
More than fifty mercenaries defeated
four mutants in three days.
[07:11] Zara
Yet he claims to have beaten fifteen?
[07:14] Zara
But he's just a boy who
was frightened by me.
[07:18] Rembrandt
It was time you learned your lesson.
[07:22] Zara
Who is Kuzunoha actually?
[07:26] Rembrandt
As you know, he's a naïve
and inexperienced merchant.
[07:29] Zara
Pat, cut the crap.
[07:33] Rembrandt
He seemed that way because you
only looked at the surface.
[07:35] Rembrandt
I was hoping you'd see past
that. You disappoint me.
[07:40] Zara
He's so naïve, he doesn't know the
first thing about being a merchant.
[07:45] Zara
How to talk to other merchants,
[07:47] Zara
laying the groundwork for future endeavors,
[07:49] Zara
establishing prices based on the market...
[07:52] Zara
He understands less than half of that.
[07:55] Zara
"Sell quality goods as cheaply as possible."
[07:56] Zara
That's truly all he has on his mind.
[08:00] Rembrandt
Selling quality goods as cheaply
as possible is the basis of trade.
[08:04] Rembrandt
Didn't we say the same thing
when we became merchants?
[08:08] Zara
Yes, but such naïveté won't get you far.
[08:12] Zara
Breaking into vested interests requires
utilizing and killing people with money.
[08:18] Zara
Trade isn't about ideals.
It is firmly rooted in reality.
[08:23] Rembrandt
You're right, but after
learning of their strength,
[08:28] Rembrandt
how many merchants could
negotiate honestly with them?
[08:31] Zara
Are you saying we should use violence
to bend trade to our desires?
[08:34] Zara
We can't, Pat. The goddess would punish
us swiftly for such selfish behavior.
[08:40] Rembrandt
Are you sure her punishment would reach us?
[08:43] Rembrandt
I bet on it not reaching us.
[08:45] Rembrandt
So no matter what anyone says, I won't stop
supporting the Kuzunoha Trading Company.
[08:50] Zara
You think their insolence
will go unpunished?
[08:53] Rembrandt
A man needs to be insolent
to make his ideals reality.
[09:00] Rembrandt
He's reaching beyond trade
to create an organization
[09:03] Rembrandt
that removes illness and
curses from the world.
[09:05] Rembrandt
Getting involved in such a great
undertaking isn't so bad.
[09:09] Rembrandt
To put it in a way that makes me
sound like the man you know,
[09:12] Rembrandt
"It's worth betraying anything
to seize this golden egg."
[09:16] Zara
Even hyumankind—no, the goddess herself?
[09:20] Rembrandt
If money is everything
and profits make right,
[09:23] Rembrandt
then isn't betrayal part of business, too?
[09:26] Zara
But what you're proposing is...
[09:29] Rembrandt
I know. If that's what you really think,
then make money off of the war.
[09:34] Rembrandt
But neither you nor I have
profited off of war.
[09:40] Zara
I lost my entire family to war.
[09:45] Rembrandt
I lost my brother and his wife.
[09:48] Rembrandt
Since then, you and I have traded like mad,
relying only on ourselves and money.
[09:54] Zara
I know. That's why Kuzunoha
irritates me so much.
[09:59] Rembrandt
You should visit Tsige sometime.
It'll change your thinking.
[10:04] Rembrandt
I'll have my daughters show you around.
[10:07] Zara
You mean Shifu-chan?
She's grown quite beautiful.
[10:10] Rembrandt
What? I didn't say anything about Shifu.
[10:14] Rembrandt
Did you think I meant Shifu,
who looks just like your old flame Lisa?
[10:18] Zara
N-No, I...
[10:20] Rembrandt
We're the best of friends.
I trust you completely.
[10:25] Rembrandt
Did you really think I'd say that? Get over her!
[10:28] Zara
Don't, Pat! Stop!
[10:32] Makoto
We'll hit the northwestern section next.
That's the craftsmen's neighborhood, right?
[10:35] Shiki
Yes. The academy is taking care of
the more affluent neighborhoods.
[10:40] Makoto
They couldn't be more obvious.
[10:41] Tomoe
Young Master, I've finished
collecting accessories.
[10:45] Tomoe
I provided the guild representative
with food, water, and blankets.
[10:49] Tomoe
I told him to mention the Kuzunoha Trading
Company's name when he distributed them.
[10:53] Makoto
Good work.
[10:54] Makoto
I'm surprised Zara-san
accepted those conditions.
[10:57] Tomoe
He gets to save the townsfolk for free.
[11:00] Tomoe
Even if he weren't a merchant,
he'd accept our terms.
[11:03] Tomoe
By the way, Mio is in an oddly good mood.
[11:06] Makoto
I'm having Mio and Shiki
play a bit of a game.
[11:09] Makoto
They're competing to see
who can defeat more mutants.
[11:13] Mio
Take this.
[11:14] Tomoe
I see. Judging by her behavior...
[11:16] Makoto
Yup. Mio is winning 4-2.
[11:19] Makoto
I've agreed to fulfill one
request from the winner.
[11:22] Tomoe
What?!
[11:23] Tomoe
What kind of unbelievably
extravagant prize is that?!
[11:26] Tomoe
That's the first I've heard about it!
[11:28] Makoto
Because I asked you to handle the guild.
[11:31] Makoto
Now, time for work.
[11:33] Tomoe
Wait! I demand an explanation I can accept!
[11:35] Tomoe
I may have understood that,
but I can't accept it!
[11:38] Tomoe
In other words, I insist that
you hear my request, as well!
[11:40] Tomoe
Young Master!
[11:42] Makoto/Id
For now, I'll head toward
the northwestern section.
[11:45] Makoto/Id
Wait, I've already called in
help over there, though...
[11:53] Mondo
Come at me.
[11:55] Mondo
The great Mondo will take you on.
[12:08] Mondo
Behold the forest ogres'
ultimate technique.
[12:10] Mondo
Death by tree!
[12:14] Mondo
My tree-planting campaign's
coming along nicely.
[12:18] Lime
Mondo.
[12:19] Lime
The bosses are on their way here.
[12:22] Mondo
Oh, yeah?
[12:23] Mondo
I'm sure my unworthy students
have been causing trouble for them.
[12:26] Mondo
It pains me to have to meet them.
[12:28] Lime
By "students," do you mean Aqua and Eris?
[12:31] Lime
The boss doesn't care about that.
[12:33] Mondo
I'm relieved to hear that.
[12:36] Mondo
The least I can do is live up to
the young master's expectations.
[12:42] Mondo
What's the aim of the ones who
unleashed these creatures?
[12:46] Mondo
Don't they know the young
master would quash them?
[12:49] Lime
Beats me. I certainly don't
know how demons think.
[12:53] Lime
All we have to do is whatever
the boss needs us to do.
[12:56] Mondo
You're right. By fighting like this...
[13:02] Mondo
We make ourselves useful!
[13:04] Lime
Yeah!
[13:09] Headmaster
You lot!
[13:10] Headmaster
What are you doing?
[13:12] Daena
What do you mean?
[13:13] Mithra
The same thing everyone else is doing.
[13:15] Headmaster
If you're still mobile, go assist
the extermination forces!
[13:17] Headmaster
You call yourselves academy students?!
[13:22] Aqua
What is it, Eris?
[13:23] Eris
The headmaster has lost his mind.
He's trying to use the newbies.
[13:27] Aqua
What should we do? The young
master told us to protect them.
[13:32] Eris
I've got a nice idea.
[13:33] Eris
We'll use our killer technique
to protect the entire dormitory.
[13:38] Aqua
K-Killer technique?
[13:41] Aqua
No way! Absolutely not!
[13:43] Eris
Fine. Then I'll do it myself.
[13:46] Aqua
What? Can you cast that yourself?
[13:49] Eris
Of course. There's also a solo version.
I need to borrow your mana, though.
[13:52] Eris
Come on, give it to me.
[13:55] Aqua
Then hurry up and—
[13:56] Eris
You fell for it.
[13:58] Aqua
M-My body...
[14:00] Eris
Now let's hold hands.
[14:03] Aqua
No! Stop! Let go!
[14:06] Eris
Glitter, diamond of the heart!
[14:06] Aqua
Move, body! Please! Move, move!
[14:10] Eris
Killer technique: Cocyt—
[14:14] Aqua
Enough! I'll complete the spell!
[14:17] Aqua
Killer technique: Cocyt—no, wait!
[14:20] Aqua
Take this! Floral Tribute Ice Prison!
[14:28] Aqua
Hey, Eris.
[14:29] Eris
Don't talk to me.
[14:31] Aqua
How are we gonna get out?
[14:38] Mondo
I'm sorry!
[14:40] Mondo
I'll make sure those idiots
are punished harshly!
[14:44] Makoto
It's not your fault, Mondo.
[14:46] Makoto
Shiki, they've got food in the dorms, right?
[14:50] Shiki
Yes. They should be fine for several days.
[14:53] Makoto
You heard him.
[14:55] Makoto
Come on, raise your head.
[14:57] Mondo
I appreciate your magnanimous words!
[15:02] Makoto
Anyway, what should we do?
[15:04] Makoto
Break it? Leave it alone?
[15:06] Mio
Wouldn't it be fine to leave it the way it is?
[15:08] Mio
It's needlessly hard.
Breaking it would be a pain.
[15:11] Mio
It doesn't taste very good, either.
[15:13] Shiki
I agree. Depending on the
situation at the academy,
[15:17] Shiki
they may attempt to send students to battle.
[15:19] Makoto
You're right. I'll ask Aqua
and Eris what happened later.
[15:25] Tomoe
Tomorrow, we'll liberate the remaining
sections and continue distributing supplies.
[15:29] Tomoe
We don't know which nation will
send supplies and troops first,
[15:33] Tomoe
but once they take over,
our job will be done.
[15:37] Shiki
Then the hyumans of the city will realize
they're at war with the demons.
[15:42] Makoto
What? You're going to expose the demons?
[15:45] Shiki
No, the academy will discover the truth.
[15:47] Shiki
I did a little something to the
accessories we collected.
[15:51] Mio
They should notice within a couple of days,
[15:54] Mio
even if the people examining them are idiots.
[15:56] Makoto
But isn't it bad for us if they
find out demons are behind this?
[16:00] Makoto
The Kuzunoha Trading Company is
suspected of associating with demons.
[16:04] Tomoe
Nobody would believe that anymore.
[16:08] Tomoe
After all, we're heroes who
did everything in our power
[16:11] Tomoe
to evacuate citizens and
exterminate many mutants.
[16:14] Makoto/Id
I see.
[16:16] Makoto/Id
These three truly are dependable.
[16:21] Makoto
So, why did you two cast this spell?
[16:24] Aqua
W-Well, because...
[16:26] Makoto
You went along with Eris's crazy plan?
[16:28] Aqua
Something like that.
[16:29] Eris
Yup.
[16:30] Aqua
But Young Master, I've been wondering,
how did you get inside the barrier?
[16:35] Makoto
Eris knows.
[16:38] Eris
Like a mole.
[16:40] Makoto
So, anything else to report?
[16:43] Aqua
Nothing in particular.
[16:44] Eris
No, there is something.
[16:46] Aqua
What?
[16:47] Eris
There's probably some kind of mastermind
where all the luxurious houses are.
[16:51] Makoto
A mastermind?
[16:54] Eris
They're using some kind of special
equipment to attract mutants there.
[16:58] Eris
Must be tough being rich.
[17:00] Makoto/Id
That's an affluent area.
The academy is focusing its efforts there.
[17:06] Makoto
Thanks, Eris. I appreciate it.
[17:08] Eris
You're too kind. Please forgive Aqua
for casting her barrier, as well.
[17:13] Aqua
What?!
[17:13] Makoto
I'm not mad. Do you two want to leave?
[17:17] Makoto
I'll take you with me.
[17:19] Aqua
I-I'm fine for now.
[17:20] Eris
I've got a bad feeling about outside...
[17:23] Makoto/Id
Two forest ogres,
[17:24] Makoto/Id
young enough to fear the wrath
[17:26] Makoto/Id
of their mad teacher.
[17:30] Sairitsu
Kuzunoha-dono.
[17:33] Sairitsu
Did you just return?
[17:35] Sairitsu
Kuzunoha-dono—rather, Kuzunoha-sama.
[17:38] Sairitsu
I've come to understand a fraction of
your power through this disturbance.
[17:43] Makoto/Id
Oh, right. The important people in the
city know what we've been up to.
[17:47] Sairitsu
Limia, Gritonia, and Laurel
have a request for you.
[17:53] Sairitsu
We'd like you to restore our
telepathy as soon as possible.
[17:56] Sairitsu
Naturally, we swear not to mention the
Kuzunoha Trading Company's name.
[18:00] Makoto/Id
Restoration of telepathy, huh?
[18:02] Makoto/Id
If I wanted to, I could do
that right away, but...
[18:06] Luto
This is the ability of the demihumans
known as forest ogres, right?
[18:10] Luto
What an incredible barrier.
[18:12] Tomoe
How delightful that we're capable of
surprising even the great Banshoku-dono.
[18:17] Luto
So, will the Kuzunoha Trading Company
cease its activity tomorrow?
[18:22] Tomoe
That's the plan. Then we'll just be left
with some troublesome cleanup to do.
[18:26] Luto
Troublesome, huh?
[18:28] Luto
Have you told Makoto-kun about that?
[18:30] Tomoe
If we told him now, things could end poorly.
[18:34] Tomoe
We've decided to handle
it ourselves this time.
[18:37] Luto
I see.
[18:38] Tomoe
It's troublesome indeed.
[18:40] Tomoe
We were surprised to learn there was someone
other than demons sneaking around.
[18:46] Tomoe
The demons had a collaborator
other than the blue-skinned one.
[18:49] Tomoe
Mio will deal with them tonight.
[18:51] Luto
So scary.
[18:53] Luto
You're not going to let them explain
themselves or protect them?
[18:56] Tomoe
I doubt we could use a demihuman
who hates hyumans so much.
[19:01] Tomoe
Besides... One moment.
[19:05] Tomoe
Yes, that's fine. I'll leave the method up to you.
[19:08] Tomoe
We'll speak again later.
[19:10] Luto
A telepathic message? From whom?
[19:13] Tomoe
The young master.
[19:14] Tomoe
He merely asked me if he could
restore telepathy in the city.
[19:18] Luto
What?
[19:19] Tomoe
Is there a problem with that?
[19:21] Tomoe
You'll get to see some
pretty fireworks soon.
[19:23] Luto
I see. Now, huh?
[19:26] Tomoe
You're hiding something, aren't you?
[19:29] Luto
You'll see once the telepathy is restored.
[19:32] Luto
But you know, Tomoe...
[19:34] Luto
Maybe destiny is real.
[19:38] Luto
How truly strange.
[19:42] Tomoe
It's the young master.
[19:49] Luto
What's this?
[19:51] Tomoe
A single shot.
[19:53] Tomoe
He masters every skill he learns.
[19:56] Luto
Did he just take out the devices
planted by the demons?
[19:59] Tomoe
There are ways to restore telepathic
communication without destroying it.
[20:05] Luto
Good grief. The demons spent
months preparing those devices.
[20:12] Tomoe
Well, good for them.
[20:22] Sairitsu
A state of emergency was declared
when telepathy was restored?
[20:25] Sairitsu
What's going on?
[20:27] Augus
We're under attack.
[20:28] Sairitsu
Under attack?
[20:30] Lily
By demons, Sairitsu-dono.
[20:32] Sairitsu
We believe demons were responsible
for this incident, yes, but...
[20:36] Augus
No, the royal capital.
[20:38] Lily
And the imperial capital.
[20:41] Augus
Our nation's hero and the
priestess of Laurel accompanying her
[20:46] Augus
are probably fighting them.
[20:48] Sairitsu
E-Even Chiya-sama?
[20:50] Sairitsu
Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this?
[20:53] Sairitsu
It doesn't make sense for the
royal capital to be under attack.
[20:55] Sairitsu
What is the royal army—
[20:57] Lily
Silence!
[20:59] Lily
We don't know the specifics.
[21:01] Lily
But the reality is that demons are
marching on the imperial capital.
[21:05] Lily
They appeared from
several directions at once.
[21:08] Augus
In our nation, they appeared by Star Lake.
[21:12] Augus
That puts them just outside
the royal capital.
[21:14] Augus
Just how many secret plans do they have?
[21:18] Sairitsu
C-Could it be...
[21:20] Sairitsu
Was the disturbance in Rotsgard a decoy?
[21:22] Augus
Probably.
[21:24] Lily
It's probably a coincidence so many
guests gathered here this year.
[21:30] Lily
But if telepathy was
restored with this timing,
[21:33] Lily
then it's unlikely Kuzunoha
is a spy for the demons.
[21:36] Augus
I'm relieved to learn that, as well.
[21:38] Augus
Given the circumstances, we must have
Kuzunoha teleport us to our nations.
[21:52] Augus
Kuzunoha, we must speak with you.
[21:55] Lily
It's very important.
