[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. [00:42] [SONG] Sign     Season Two [01:55] [SONG] Eptitle     Night Nineteen The Unruly Merchant [01:55] [SONG] Eptitle     Night Nineteen The Unruly Merchant [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.
