[00:01] (Flashback) Goddess
    Now, Misumi. The demons' surprise
    attack has left things in a poor state.
[00:05] (Flashback) Goddess
    I'm sending you to Limia.
    You will help the hero there.
[00:09] Makoto
    I have a request for you two.
[00:11] Makoto
    Tomoe and Mio,
[00:12] Makoto
    I want you to lead adequately-trained
    highland orcs, mist lizards,
[00:17] Makoto
    and any other volunteers...
[00:22] Makoto
    and take Kaleneon.
[00:24] Makoto
    I'm counting on you two.

[02:02] Makoto/Na
    On Misumi Makoto's orders,
[02:05] Makoto/Na
    the denizens of the demiplane
[02:07] Makoto/Na
    entered their first battle
    against the demons of Kaleneon.
[02:18] Emma
    The enemy's main forces have been routed!
[02:21] Emma
    Switch to mopping them up!
[02:28] Left
    Well, well. You still intend to fight?
[02:31] Left
    Your attacks are completely
    ineffective against my reflection.
[02:36] Mio
    At first I was disappointed, as I
    thought your size was just for show.
[02:41] Mio
    I'm surprised you were analyzing my attacks.
[02:46] Mio
    I offer you my compliments.
[02:48] Left
    I don't understand.
[02:50] Left
    Why do you keep using the same attacks?
[02:53] Mio
    Because they were in the
    young master's memories.
[02:57] Mio
    Walther and Smith & Wesson.
[03:00] Mio
    Slashes that pierce even iron.
[03:03] Mio
    I decided I'd only use those.
[03:05] Left
    I don't have a clue what
    you're talking about, but...
[03:11] Left
    If you mean to fight to the
    death, then I shall join you.
[03:14] Mio
    I appreciate it.
[03:33] Mio
    How truly interesting.
[03:36] Mio
    But performing such complex
    calculations is a weakness.
[03:43] Left
    You're wasting your time,
    no matter how many times you try.
[03:46] Mio
    Indeed. I'll never stop.
[03:49] Left
    Not even you can regenerate endlessly.
[03:52] Left
    I'll reflect your attacks dozens
    or even hundreds of times.
[03:57] Mio
    Good luck with that.
[03:58] Mio
    If you can withstand a few thousand more,
    perhaps you'll have a chance at victory.
[04:11] Tomoe
    Mio's trying to master that
    reflection technique, isn't she?
[04:15] Tomoe
    She's lucky. All I had to deal with were
    nobodies who hardly put up a fight.
[04:20] Tomoe
    Our victory is as good as secured.
[04:24] Tomoe
    This is a good opportunity.
[04:27] Tomoe
    Perhaps I'll create an obvious border.
[04:44] Tomoe
    That should do it.
[04:48] Tomoe
    The demons won't be able to
    send reinforcements right away.
[04:52] Tomoe
    They're too busy dealing
    with Limia and Gritonia.
[04:58] Makoto/Na
    A short time earlier,
[05:00] Makoto/Na
    the demons approached the suburbs
    surrounding the imperial capital.
[05:04] Soldier 1
    Demon forces spotted!
[05:06] Soldier 1
    Ready yourselves, shieldmen!
[05:09] Soldier 1
    Aim, archers!
[05:11] Soldier 1
    Fire!
[05:13] Rona
    Well, well.
[05:19] Rona
    It has begun.
[05:21] Sofia
    You snuck into a senior statesman's chamber
[05:24] Sofia
    smack dab in the middle of enemy forces?
[05:28] Sofia
    Rather bold of you, Rona.
[05:31] Rona
    Sofia.
[05:33] Sofia
    I wish you'd share your information with us.
[05:36] Sofia
    We're your allies, not your subordinates.
[05:39] Mitsurugi
    What have you learned?
[05:42] Rona
    Iwahashi Tomoki, the empire's hero,
    fights differently by day and by night.
[05:48] Rona
    I believe his healing only works
    when the moon is out at night.
[05:54] Sofia
    He only heals at night?
[05:56] Rona
    Yes.
[05:58] Rona
    But our true target is the hero of Limia.
[06:02] Sofia
    In other words, he's stronger at night.
[06:05] Rona
    Are you listening?
[06:08] Mitsurugi
    Rona, Princess Lily has returned.
[06:12] Mitsurugi
    She's begun commanding the imperial forces.
[06:14] Rona
    How did she get here from Rotsgard?
[06:17] Rona
    Then we mustn't stay long.
[06:19] Rona
    We should head to Fort Stella.
[06:22] Sofia
    You go on ahead.
[06:24] Sofia
    I'm going to go have some fun with the hero.
[06:31] Tomoki
    Don't let them advance!
[06:33] Tomoki
    Use all your firepower to rout them!
[06:36] All
    Yes, sir!
[06:41] Sofia
    I'll think of this as practice for killing
    that sorcerer, and not hold back.
[06:47] Mitsurugi
    The sorcerer, huh?
    I doubt you'd lose to him now.
[06:58] Tomoki
    What is that?
[07:01] Sofia
    Good evening.
[07:02] Tomoki
    Who are you?
[07:03] Sofia
    I'm Sofia. Sofia the Dragonslayer.
[07:06] Tomoki
    Dragonslayer? You're Sofia Bulga.
[07:09] Sofia
    Oh, you know who I am?
[07:12] Sofia
    You're the hero of the
    empire, Iwahashi Tomoki.
[07:16] Tomoki
    Y-Yeah.
[07:17] Tomoki
    So, what do you want?
[07:21] Sofia
    I'm interested in you.
[07:23] Tomoki
    What? In me?
[07:27] Ginebia
    Watch out!
[07:28] Sofia
    Not a bad reaction.
[07:30] Sofia
    You disappoint me, Tomoki,
    but you've impressed me, lady knight.
[07:39] Sofia
    This smell...
[07:41] Sofia
    You've been granted strength
    by a greater dragon.
[07:43] Sofia
    Must be Glont, or Sazanami.
[07:46] Ginebia
    Wh-What do you think you're
    doing, Sofia-dono?
[07:49] Sofia
    Oh, right. I hadn't mentioned it yet.
[07:53] Sofia
    I have another title these days.
[07:56] Sofia
    Sofia Bulga, Guest Commander of the Demons.
[08:00] Tomoki
    The demons?
[08:02] Sofia
    I heard you're stronger at night, hero.
[08:06] Sofia
    Would you grant me a dance?
[08:10] Tomoki
    No matter who you are...
[08:13] Sofia
    Don't bother.
[08:14] Sofia
    That won't work against me.
[08:18] Tomoki/Id
    She knows about my Magic Eye...
[08:20] Sofia
    Try beating me with that spear.
[08:24] Sofia
    If you can, I'll become yours.
[08:28] Sofia
    I'll offer you my body and mind.
[08:31] Tomoki
    I'll show you that battles aren't
    determined by level alone!
[08:35] Sofia
    Oh, how marvelous. I agree completely.
[08:38] Sofia
    Then this lizard is in our way.
[08:44] Mora
    Nagi!
[08:48] Sofia
    I'll be waiting for you below.
[09:05] Sofia
    Let's begin.
[09:07] Sofia
    If you lose, the empire
    will be in big trouble.
[09:10] Sofia
    Good luck.
[09:12] Tomoki
    I'm a hero blessed with
    the goddess's protection.
[09:15] Tomoki
    You may be the Dragonslayer,
    but don't underestimate me.
[09:19] Sofia
    Help me test my current strength.
[09:27] Yukinatsu
    You fell for my Clay Doll Mad Trump!
[09:32] Tomoki
    Nice work, Yukinatsu.
[09:35] Sofia
    That's an impressive spell.
[09:37] Yukinatsu
    Isn't it exquisite?
[09:38] Yukinatsu
    Breaking free of that
    binding won't be easy.
[09:43] Sofia
    You've put a lot of thought into this.
[09:45] Yukinatsu
    Is that composure or arrogance?
[09:48] Yukinatsu
    How well can you fight like that?
[09:51] Tomoki
    Ginebia, stay on the defensive.
[09:53] Tomoki
    Mora, you're with me.
[09:54] Ginebia
    Yes, sir.
[09:55] Mora
    You'll pay for what you did to Nagi!
[09:58] Sofia
    Hit me with your best shot.
[10:00] Sofia
    Like you're trying to kill me.
[10:02] Tomoki
    Oh, yeah? In that case...
[10:09] Tomoki
    I'll give you what you want!
[10:11] Mora
    Die!
[10:27] Tomoki
    If you had lived, I would've
    made you one of my women.
[10:31] Sofia
    What are you doing?
[10:33] Sofia
    Press me harder with more attacks.
[10:38] Ginebia
    No way...
[10:39] Mora
    But that was a direct hit.
[10:41] Sofia
    It was certainly an artistic attack.
[10:45] Sofia
    Despite combining so many elements,
[10:48] Sofia
    they don't interfere with each other's power.
[10:52] Sofia
    It's a shame, though. It wasn't
    strong enough to create a lake.
[10:56] Sofia
    Now, show me a hero's strength.
[11:10] Mitsurugi
    I was once defeated by Sofia and injured
    in battle against the sorcerer...
[11:29] Mitsurugi
    But I seem to have finally completely
    regained my power as a greater dragon.
[11:37] Sofia
    Honestly, what a letdown.
[11:47] Sofia
    You're a hero, aren't you?
[11:49] Sofia
    Stand up and fight!
[12:04] Sofia
    Huh? Your healing is as
    powerful as they say.
[12:07] Tomoki
    You monster.
[12:09] Sofia
    Don't you think it's rude
    to call a woman a monster?
[12:14] Tomoki
    Rude?
[12:16] Tomoki
    Is that something a hyuman who
    sides with demons should say?
[12:22] Sofia
    Tomoki-kun, show me the strength of a hero.
[12:28] Sofia
    You're not done yet, are you?
[12:31] Sofia
    Or is there some kind of
    activation condition?
[12:36] Sofia
    Oh, are you worried about
    hitting them accidentally?
[12:41] Sofia
    Should I kill them first?
[12:43] Tomoki
    Don't. If they die, I won't
    show you the ace up my sleeve.
[12:48] Tomoki
    You want to see it, don't you?
[12:50] Tomoki
    Then send my allies to
    the imperial capital.
[12:53] Sofia
    Fine, then.
[12:55] Sofia
    Mitsurugi, can you do that?
[13:00] Sofia
    That form...
[13:02] Sofia
    Your strength has finally returned.
[13:04] Lancer
    Yes.
[13:06] Lancer
    You want me to send those half-dead
    fools to the imperial capital?
[13:13] Sofia
    Now, show me the full power
    of the goddess's protection.
[13:19] Tomoki
    Unfortunately, what I'm about to show
    you isn't the goddess's protection.
[13:23] Sofia
    Huh?
[13:25] Tomoki
    It's your own fault things
    turned out this way.
[13:27] Tomoki
    Prepare yourself.
[13:29] Sofia
    What's this?
[13:31] Tomoki
    I'll show you the horrendous flames no
    one of this world could ever imagine!
[13:40] Tomoki
    Obliterate!
[14:01] Lancer
    That was quite the trump card.
[14:04] Sofia
    Indeed.
[14:05] Sofia
    It was even more brutal
    than the sorcerer's arrow.
[14:09] Lancer
    I suppose I'd expect as much from a hero.
[14:12] Sofia
    It's a rough technique that
    consumes the caster's life.
[14:15] Sofia
    But that's not what makes
    it truly terrifying.
[14:20] Sofia
    Even those who avoid the direct blast are
    afflicted by a special poison or curse.
[14:30] Sofia
    We'll be fine.
[14:33] Lancer
    I hadn't realized I'd been affected, too.
[14:36] Sofia
    The hero himself seems to be unaffected.
[14:39] Sofia
    It's not a very heroic power.
[14:42] Sofia
    Now, let's reconnect telepathically.
[14:45] Sofia
    Oh, and don't touch the hero.
[14:48] Sofia
    I'm not killing him yet.
[14:50] Sofia
    Rona, can you hear me?
[14:52] Rona
    I sensed a tremendous blast of mana.
[14:54] Rona
    What happened?
[14:56] Sofia
    Tomoki-kun's trump card.
[14:58] Sofia
    It was a high-power
    area-of-effect fire spell.
[15:02] Rona
    So, did you kill him?
[15:04] Sofia
    No, sorry. He got away.
[15:07] Rona
    I see. But if you got him to cast his
    trump card, that's good enough.
[15:12] Rona
    Could you return to Fort Stella?
[15:14] Sofia
    Sure. I'm feeling pretty tired.
[15:17] Sofia
    I need a break.
[15:21] Rona
    Sofia?
[15:22] Sofia
    Mitsurugi. You saw that, didn't you?
[15:25] Rona/Id
    She forgot to end the telepathic link.
[15:27] Rona/Id
    She seems rather flustered.
[15:29] Lancer
    That's him.
[15:31] Sofia
    He's heading toward Limia's royal capital.
[15:35] Sofia
    You can fly, right?
[15:36] Lancer
    Yes. Let's go. We'll take him down.
[15:40] Sofia
    Today's the day I'll kill him.
[15:43] Sofia
    You just wait, sorcerer.
[15:47] Rona/Id
    I wasn't expecting my greatest
    concern to appear in Limia.
[15:52] Rona/Id
    This is ridiculous.
[15:55] Makoto/Na
    And now, back to the present.
[15:57] Makoto/Na
    Misumi Makoto was heading
    to Limia's royal capital.
[16:01] Shiki
    Something to hide yourself?
[16:04] Makoto
    Yeah. People can't know
    I'm the merchant Kuzunoha.
[16:08] Shiki
    You're right. I could probably return
    to my pre-contract form, but...
[16:14] Makoto
    Any ideas?
[16:16] Makoto
    I could wrap a cloth around myself,
    but it would probably come off in battle.
[16:19] Shiki
    Then we'll have to use that.
[16:23] Shiki
    I've been holding on to it since Mio-dono
    asked me to make improvements.
[16:27] Makoto
    What?
[16:28] Makoto
    You don't mean...
[16:33] Verda
    Hibiki, it's no use.
[16:35] Verda
    They've broken through the third
    and fourth defensive lines.
[16:38] Hibiki
    I can't believe how easily
    they're getting through.
[16:41] Hibiki
    This is why we should've moved the
    royal capital closer to the Hopleys' lands.
[16:45] Woody
    It's a shame, since Ilumgand-dono
    was in favor of the transfer.
[16:49] Hibiki
    Ilum-kun, huh? There's something happening
    in the academy city, too, isn't there?
[16:54] Woody
    It seems that way.
[16:55] Hibiki
    I hope he's all right.
[16:57] Woody
    Either way, we'll have to retreat from here.
[17:01] Woody
    Joining the forces sent to Stella and
    reclaiming the royal capital is our best move.
[17:07] Verda
    Right. We should leave right away, Hibiki.
[17:10] Chiya
    W-Wait! If we flee, what will happen
    to the people in the city?
[17:15] Verda
    Well...
[17:20] Hibiki
    Chiya-chan, listen to me.
[17:22] Chiya
    O-Okay.
[17:24] Hibiki
    Many lives have been lost already
    in battles against demons.
[17:31] Hibiki
    We must carry their hopes with us.
[17:37] Hibiki
    We will win this war and achieve peace.
[17:41] Hibiki
    We must live so we can accomplish that.
[17:45] Hibiki
    So we must endure everything,
    no matter how difficult it is.
[17:53] Chiya
    Are you talking about Naval?
[18:00] Hibiki
    Yes. There's that, too... so...
[18:04] Sealy
    Seriously! You're still here?
[18:07] Hibiki
    Sealy-san.
[18:08] Verda
    This place is finished.
[18:10] Verda
    Use the adventurers from
    Tsige to support a retreat.
[18:13] Sealy
    You can count on us.
[18:15] Woody
    How is the evacuation
    of the citizens going?
[18:17] Sealy
    We're hoping for 30%. 50% won't happen.
[18:21] Sealy
    The demons are mowing down
    every hyuman they see.
[18:26] Verda
    In any case, we must retreat.
[18:28] Verda
    Do we have an escape route?
[18:29] Woody
    Yes, in the throne—
[18:33] Woody
    Impossible!
[18:42] Io
    Provide your enemies with an escape
    route, and most would take it.
[18:52] Io
    Or did you always intend to ambush
    me here, Hibiki the hero?
[18:59] Hibiki
    Commander Io!
[19:02] Io
    That's an indecent outfit.
    Is it part of your strategy?
[19:07] Hibiki
    It's enhancing garb made
    from my guardian beast.
[19:10] Hibiki
    What do you think you're doing
    emerging from the ground like a mole?
[19:15] Woody
    Our escape route lies beyond
    that collapsed passageway.
[19:19] Verda
    Damn it.
[19:21] Io
    Waiting doesn't suit me,
    so I came to meet you.
[19:27] Woody
    What about the soldiers outside?
[19:29] Io
    You're asking about them?
[19:31] Hibiki
    You killed more of my allies!
[19:35] Chiya
    Miss!
[19:36] Verda
    Stay calm, Hibiki!
[19:38] Woody
    We must find another means of escape.
[19:40] Io
    You're still trying to flee?
    I don't think so.
[19:44] Io
    Hibiki, you will die here.
[19:49] Io
    If you flee, we'll slaughter
    everyone in the royal capital.
[19:53] Io
    Though it's a shameful thing
    for a warrior to do,
[19:57] Io
    I am currently a commander of demons.
[20:00] Io
    I am here as a soldier.
[20:02] Hibiki
    You're saying soldiers slaughter civilians?
[20:05] Io
    This is a war between species.
[20:09] Io
    It will end with the extinction or
    eternal enslavement of one side.
[20:13] Io
    I know you sense that, as well.
[20:18] Io
    Now, make your decision.
[20:20] Io
    Will you sacrifice your people and flee
    or bet on your chances of killing me?
[20:28] Hibiki/Id
    Incredible! This sword forged by
    Beren-san isn't just strong.
[20:34] Hibiki/Id
    It's enchanted with wind magic, as well!
[20:37] Woody
    Now, Hibiki!
[20:38] Chiya
    Take this!
[20:45] Sealy
    Is he dead?
[21:02] Hibiki/Id
    Elemental gauntlets?
[21:04] Hibiki/Id
    Not only that, but they're enchanted
    with all four basic elements?
[21:08] Io
    You're not the only ones
    with exceptional armaments.
[21:12] Io
    Now die!
[21:14] All
    Hibiki!
[21:24] Io
    Who are you?
[21:29] Makoto/Id
    My only choice was to wear this hero suit
    Mio made in order to hide my appearance.
[21:38] Makoto/Id
    What should I do now?
[21:39] Makoto/Id
    My out-of-place outfit has
[21:41] Makoto/Id
    struck them all speechless.
[21:45] Makoto/Id
    Huh?
[21:47] Makoto/Id
    No way. You're kidding, right?
[21:58] Makoto/Id
    Otonashi-senpai is a hero?
