[00:00] Narration
    Joining Makoto Misumi on his
    quest to improve his isekai
[00:06] Narration
    is historical-drama-obsessed greater
    dragon Shin, now known as Tomoe.
[00:13] Narration
    And Tomoe forced Makoto into a contract
[00:17] Narration
    with the Black Spider of Disaster who
    will eat anything, now known as Mio.
[00:24] Narration
    Are isekai heroines always like this?
[00:30] Narration
    Either way, the hyuman village they
    finally found smells a bit fishy.
[00:38] Makoto
    What's a child doing out
    on her own at this hour?
[00:41] Rinon
    U-Um, I...
[00:44] Makoto
    She doesn't seem to just be lost.
[00:47] Makoto
    Mio, could you handle this?
[00:49] Mio
    Very well.
[00:50] Mio
    Child, what do you want?
[00:53] Mio
    If you have no business with us,
    then step aside. You're in the way.
[00:58] Makoto
    One moment.
[00:59] Mio
    What is it?
[01:02] Makoto
    How could you say that to a child?!
[01:03] Mio
    Well, I don't enjoy having my time
    with the young master interrupted!
[01:09] Makoto
    That's no reason to threaten her!
[01:14] Makoto
    Sorry for scaring you.
    What are you doing here?
[01:18] Rinon
    I... I have a request...
[01:25] Mio
    Get away from him!
[01:28] Makoto
    We don't have a choice. Let's take
    her back to the inn for now.
[01:31] Mio
    What? Young Master,
    even that creature is a woman!
[01:35] Makoto
    Mio, what are you talking about?
[01:39] Mio
    Very well.
[03:12] [SONG] Eptitle
    Night Four Too Late
[03:13] Rinon
    M-My name is Rinon.
[03:15] Rinon
    My family—it's just me and my sister—
    were traveling together.
[03:21] Rinon
    We ended up living in this town for a while.
[03:24] Makoto
    Take your time.
[03:26] Rinon
    O-Okay.
[03:28] Rinon
    My sister left to look for work,
    and she's been missing ever since.
[03:34] Makoto
    When did you last see her?
[03:35] Rinon
    About a month ago.
[03:38] Rinon
    I was kicked out of the
    home we were renting.
[03:43] Mio
    Perhaps she got caught up
    in some kind of trouble.
[03:46] Makoto
    Yeah.
[03:48] Makoto
    Zetsuya, the town at the end of the world.
[03:51] Makoto
    It's even fishier than I thought.
[03:54] Tomoe
    What business do you have
[03:58] Tomoe
    with our wagon?
[04:06] Tomoe
    You're slow and weak.
[04:15] Tomoe
    I held back as much as I could.
[04:21] Man
    What?
[04:22] Man
    She vanish—
[04:25] Tomoe
    I simply leapt behind you
    to get in striking range.
[04:32] Tomoe
    Th-This sword is too sharp.
[04:36] Tomoe
    No! If I allow them to escape,
    I won't be able to interrogate them.
[04:44] Tomoe
    Good.
[04:46] Tomoe
    How very satisfactory.
[04:48] Makoto
    What's "satisfactory," you immoral magistrate?
[04:53] Tomoe
    Their bodies were unexpectedly weak.
[04:55] Makoto
    If not an immoral magistrate,
    then a hooligan.
[04:58] Makoto
    You'd better thank Mio for handling
    the aftermath, you ruffian.
[05:03] Tomoe
    You have such a rich vocabulary.
[05:05] Makoto
    Also, how were you going to explain this?
[05:09] Tomoe
    H-Her breasts popped out
    once you disarmed her!
[05:12] Makoto
    Don't make it sound like my fault!
[05:13] Makoto
    You should've checked if
    they were a man or a woman!
[05:16] Tomoe
    I was worried I'd seem like a pervert.
[05:19] Makoto
    Safety first, okay? Today,
    I'm going to lecture you until—
[05:22] Rinon
    E-Excuse me...
[05:27] Makoto
    You're off the hook this time.
[05:30] Tomoe
    Thank you, child.
[05:32] Rinon
    M-My name is Rinon.
[05:34] Rinon
    Thank you for letting me use your hot water.
[05:37] Makoto
    She's in a bit of trouble
    because her sister is missing.
[05:40] Rinon
    Um, I thought you couldn't speak.
[05:43] Makoto
    Blah, blah, blah.
[05:45] Rinon
    Blah, blah, blah?
[05:47] Makoto
    That's what I sound like to her?
[05:51] Makoto
    Rinon-chan, we have one
    serving of food left over.
[05:54] Makoto
    You can eat that in the other room.
[05:55] Both
    Wha...
[05:56] Tomoe
    Young Master, isn't that mine?
[05:59] Makoto
    It's late. You can go ahead and sleep.
[06:02] Makoto
    We've got a spare bed, too.
[06:03] Tomoe
    Young Master, isn't that mine, too?
[06:06] Rinon
    Thank you, bro—I mean, mister.
[06:10] Makoto
    Call me whatever you want.
[06:13] Rinon
    Brother, then.
[06:16] Rinon
    This is a sketch of my
    sister I drew earlier.
[06:19] Tomoe
    I see.
[06:20] Tomoe
    It's nicely drawn.
[06:22] Rinon
    I'm good at drawing.
[06:26] Rinon
    Thank you for the food.
[06:28] Rinon
    Goodnight.
[06:41] Mio
    That tasted disgusting.
[06:44] Mio
    I have retur—
[06:46] Mio
    Oh, my.
[06:48] Mio
    Are you checking the
    memories of our captive?
[06:53] Mio
    Young Master? Something about him seems odd.
[06:56] Makoto
    Oh, welcome back. How did it go?
[06:59] Mio
    Everything went fine.
[07:01] Mio
    It tasted terribly disgusting, though.
[07:04] Tomoe
    Sorry about that.
[07:05] Makoto
    Thanks, Mio. These thieves
    were at the guild.
[07:10] Makoto
    They seem to be connected to Rinon, too.
[07:12] Mio
    Rinon? You mean that girl?
[07:15] Tomoe
    Look.
[07:16] Mio
    What's this?
[07:17] Makoto
    Rinon's sister. She's being
    held captive by these guys.
[07:22] Makoto
    I've found her approximate location,
    so could you go find her?
[07:25] Tomoe
    Now?
[07:27] Mio
    We don't know if she's alive.
    There's no need to hurry.
[07:30] Makoto
    Mio, please.
[07:32] Mio
    Th-Those eyes again...
[07:35] Tomoe
    We have no choice.
[07:37] Tomoe
    The old lord shall watch over the troubled
    girl while he awaits word of our good deeds.
[07:42] Tomoe
    After all, that's his job.
[07:44] Makoto
    I'm not an old lord!
[07:45] Tomoe
    Also, Young Master,
    once this matter is settled...
[07:51] Tomoe
    I'd like to refer to myself as "mineself."
[07:55] Makoto
    Uh, s-sure. Do whatever you want.
[07:57] Mio
    Why would you even ask about that?
[07:59] Tomoe
    I thought only old lords could say that.
[08:03] Tomoe
    Now, Mio, let's go.
[08:05] Mio
    A-All right.
[08:09] Makoto
    I'm counting on you.
[08:11] Makoto
    If I went, I'm not sure I'd
    be able to remain calm.
[08:16] Makoto
    I know it can't be the same person.
[08:18] Makoto
    But she looks so much like her.
[08:21] Makoto
    Hasegawa...
[08:25] Mio
    The young master is always so calm and kind.
[08:29] Tomoe
    Not to me.
[08:31] Mio
    But the moment we began discussing that
    woman in the sketch, his demeanor became odd.
[08:37] Tomoe
    You're right. The aggressive way he
    interrogated the captive wasn't like him.
[08:42] Mio
    Perhaps that woman in the sketch
    is an acquaintance of his.
[08:46] Tomoe
    Not possible. He doesn't have a single
    friend or acquaintance in this world.
[08:50] Mio
    How can you be so certain?
[08:52] Tomoe
    Because I peered into his
    memories using my powers.
[08:56] Mio
    The young master's memories?!
[08:58] Mio
    I'm s-so jeal—I mean,
    offended on his behalf!
[09:01] Mio
    So just who is the young master?
[09:05] Tomoe
    You should build trust with him
    and find out for yourself.
[09:09] Mio
    What? That's not fair!
[09:12] Tomoe
    In any case, unless we
    safely rescue that woman,
[09:15] Tomoe
    the young master will be stuck in
    that intense mood for a while.
[09:18] Mio
    No...
[09:21] Tomoe
    Dawn is breaking. Let us hurry.
[09:24] Mio
    Understood.
[09:25] Mio
    For now, we should focus
    on the task before us.
[09:31] Rinon
    The trading exchange?
[09:33] Makoto
    It seems like anyone can
    sell their cargo there.
[09:36] Makoto
    I'm having Tomoe and Mio handle
    your sister, so don't worry.
[09:40] Rinon
    Thank you. Anyway, brother,
[09:43] Rinon
    I know you're the young
    master of a wealthy family,
[09:45] Rinon
    but I can't believe you can't drive a wagon.
[09:48] Rinon
    Aren't you a merchant's son?
[09:50] Makoto
    You amaze me, Rinon-chan.
[09:52] Rinon
    Rinon is fine.
[09:53] Rinon
    And I can handle any ordinary task.
[09:56] Makoto
    I'm sure your sister appreciates that.
[10:00] Rinon
    Yeah.
[10:03] Rinon
    Sister...
[10:06] (Flashback) Rinon
    We're in debt again? But we just paid it off!
[10:09] (Flashback) Toa
    It's fine.
[10:10] (Flashback) Toa
    Preparing for adventuring
    is expensive in this town,
[10:13] (Flashback) Toa
    but it won't take long to earn it back.
[10:16] (Flashback) Rinon
    I hope you're right.
[10:19] (Flashback) Toa
    I failed to defeat the Rizou.
[10:23] (Flashback) Toa
    Rinon, you should go to Tsige,
    even if you have to go alone.
[10:27] (Flashback) Rinon
    But...
[10:28] (Flashback) Toa
    I need to work to pay off my debt.
[10:34] Rinon
    This is all we have left.
[10:36] (Flashback) Underling B
    I heard she collapsed without
    even paying off half her debt.
[10:40] (Flashback) Underling C
    She's useless now.
[10:42] (Flashback) Underling C
    Doesn't she have a sister, though?
[10:45] Rinon
    I need to run.
[10:50] (Flashback) Derek
    You brat.
[10:53] (Flashback) Derek
    Did you think you could
    get out of this town?
[11:06] Toa
    My family have been adventurers
    for generations.
[11:10] Toa
    One of my relatives was once defeated
    in battle against a powerful monster,
[11:15] Toa
    and lost our family's treasured shortsword.
[11:19] Toa
    In order to restore my family's lost honor,
[11:22] Toa
    I entered the Wasteland in
    the Far Corner of the World.
[11:27] Toa
    Rinon, I'm sorry. I can't...
[11:33] Mio
    This is the woman, isn't it?
[11:36] Mio
    Good. She's still alive.
[11:39] Tomoe
    She's rather weak.
[11:41] Mio
    She was probably used as a guinea
    pig in magic experiments.
[11:44] Mio
    All she needs is...
[11:50] Toa
    I can move!
[11:51] Tomoe
    Wow, impressive.
[11:53] Toa
    Who are these two?
[11:55] Mio
    Let us return to the young master quickly.
[11:59] Mio
    Jeez.
[12:00] Mio
    This lock is in the way!
[12:05] Toa
    H-Huh?
[12:06] Tomoe
    Come on. This way.
[12:10] Mils
    Hey.
[12:13] Mils
    What are you doing?
[12:16] Tomoe
    Who are you?
[12:18] Toa
    H-He's Zetsuya's strongest adventurer...
[12:22] Toa
    Mils Ace!
[12:26] Makoto
    I can't believe some fruit I randomly harvested
    from the demiplane sold for 500 gold.
[12:32] Rinon
    Strange fruits,
[12:33] Rinon
    a suspicious mask, a curse of muteness...
[12:37] Makoto
    We've arrived at the inn.
[12:39] Rinon
    Sexual harassment!
[12:40] Makoto
    Sexual harassment exists in this world?!
[12:42] Makoto
    We've arrived at the inn.
[12:44] Rinon
    Oh, I'm sorry...
[12:46] Rinon
    H-Hold on.
[12:48] Rinon
    I'm going to get something I forgot at home.
[12:52] Makoto
    She said she was kicked out of her home.
[12:55] Makoto
    She's letting the lookouts
    upset her too much.
[12:58] Makoto
    Investigative Kai.
[13:03] Makoto
    Wait, is she going to call me a stalker now?
[13:06] Derek
    You're late. What were you doing?
[13:08] Rinon
    L-Last night, some people tried to
    steal the cargo in the wagon.
[13:12] Derek
    Those were our henchmen.
[13:14] Derek
    I heard about their failure
    from the one who escaped.
[13:17] Derek
    Any other information?
[13:19] Rinon
    His cargo was some strange fruit.
[13:21] Rinon
    He said he got them from
    a village within the mist.
[13:24] Derek
    A what?
[13:25] Rinon
    They really were fruits
    I'd never seen before.
[13:27] Rinon
    And he sold them for 500 gold.
[13:29] Derek
    For 500 gold, huh?
[13:32] Derek
    All right. Go steal that gold.
[13:34] Rinon
    B-But I don't want to steal.
[13:37] Derek
    It's enough to pay off your sister's debt.
[13:40] Derek
    You'll be free.
[13:42] Derek
    He's a stupid rich kid.
    Fooling him should be easy.
[13:46] Rinon
    You'll really let my sister go?
[13:48] Derek
    Yeah.
[13:52] Rinon
    Stealing money from someone
    who was kind to me is awful,
[13:57] Rinon
    but...
[14:00] Rinon
    I'll be back soon.
[14:02] Derek
    That's a good girl.
[14:05] Makoto
    They're irredeemable.
[14:08] Makoto
    I'm not Tomoe, but this village
    really could use some improvement.
[14:14] Mils
    Your name is Toa, isn't it?
[14:18] Mils
    You shouldn't be able to move.
[14:20] Tomoe
    What's this, strongest man in Zetsuya?
[14:22] Tomoe
    You're not here to save this girl?
[14:25] Mils
    Save her?
[14:27] Toa
    No, Mils is...
[14:31] Derek
    Boss, I set the brat on him.
[14:34] Mils
    Good.
[14:36] Toa
    Mils is their leader.
[14:39] Tomoe
    I see. He lets his minions do his dirty
    work while he plays the mighty hero.
[14:45] Tomoe
    How cowardly.
[14:48] Mils
    What was that?
[14:49] Derek
    You're that woman from the other day.
[14:51] Derek
    Over level 1,000 is way too much.
[14:53] Tomoe
    What are you talking about?
[14:55] Derek
    You faked your level.
[14:57] Derek
    If you overdo it, you'll be
    assigned jobs you can't handle.
[15:01] Mils
    Not long ago,
[15:03] Mils
    a hyuman-like demihuman with a horrifying
    degree of mana appeared here in Zetsuya.
[15:08] Mils
    There are already bounties
    on that monster's head.
[15:12] Mils
    If you keep acting so tough,
    you'll be asked to take him on.
[15:16] Tomoe
    I'd have to pass on that.
[15:18] Mio
    We couldn't possibly defeat him.
[15:21] Mils
    Right? So I have a proposal.
[15:24] Mils
    Why don't the two of you join us?
[15:28] Mils
    I'll show you how to conduct yourselves.
[15:31] Mils
    You'll have all the money and fame you want.
[15:36] Tomoe
    No, thank you.
[15:37] Mio
    We must decline.
[15:39] Mils
    What?
[15:40] Mils
    You're being faithful to that masked man?
[15:43] Mils
    I don't know who that rich kid is,
    but he's a Level 1 idiot.
[15:49] Toa
    Th-The atmosphere changed.
[15:52] Mils
    He wears a mask.
[15:54] Mils
    I'm sure he's as ugly as
    a goblin underneath it.
[16:06] Mils
    That was close.
[16:08] Mils
    I'm the strongest man in Zetsuya.
[16:10] Mils
    I've got the strength, equipment,
    and wealth to back it up.
[16:14] Toa
    The Clay Aegis...
[16:16] Toa
    They say it's a powerful
    physical magic barrier.
[16:22] Toa
    He has that thing?
[16:26] Rinon
    He was so kind to me.
    I can't steal from him.
[16:30] Innkeeper
    Hey.
[16:32] Innkeeper
    You're bad for business. Go somewhere else.
[16:34] Rinon
    I'm sorry, but—
[16:35] Innkeeper
    Having filth like you around is a nuisance.
[16:39] Makoto
    Excuse me. She's a dear friend of mine.
[16:44] Innkeeper
    S-Sir, you...
[16:50] Innkeeper
    Forgive me!
[16:53] Makoto
    Are you okay?
[16:56] Rinon
    A dear friend?
[17:01] Rinon
    B-Brother, I'm sorry.
[17:08] Makoto
    They won't get away with
    pushing this girl so far.
[17:12] Makoto
    I hope it was all right to
    let those two handle it.
[17:18] Tomoe
    Mio, the first blow belongs to mineself.
[17:20] Mio
    My, my. I thought you were waiting until
     this was over to call yourself that.
[17:23] Tomoe
    Here comes a closed-fist punch.
[17:26] Tomoe
    For Mio's sake, try not to die in one hit.
[17:29] Mils
    Are you m-mocking me?
[17:30] Mils
    Get 'em, boys!
[17:36] Mils
    What?!
[17:42] Tomoe
    What's wrong? Come at me!
[17:53] Mio
    What was that?
[17:56] Mio
    You're in the way.
[17:58] Mio
    There you are.
[18:08] Mio
    Now I feel better.
[18:09] Tomoe
    You said you put Rinon up
    to something, didn't you?
[18:14] Derek
    No, I had no choice but
    to do as the boss said...
[18:17] Derek
    Just kidding!
[18:20] Tomoe
    I owe Rinon for saving me from a lecture.
[18:31] Tomoe
    Pathetic.
[18:34] Tomoe
    Mio, are you holding back?
[18:37] Mio
    Of course.
[18:42] Hazal
    Wh-What happened here?
[18:47] Tomoe
    This hallway is a bit narrow.
[18:49] Mio
    Then let us widen it.
[18:59] Toa
    A-Am I dreaming?
[19:03] Toa
    Mils!
[19:04] Toa
    Right?
[19:05] Mils
    If you want this woman to live, then—
[19:08] Mils
    No, wait! Wait, wait, wait!
[19:13] Tomoe
    Shut up!
[19:18] Tomoe
    Perhaps we overdid it.
[19:20] Mio
    No, disrespecting the young
    master calls for death.
[19:23] Tomoe
    Mio, you've learned to
    hold back quite a bit.
[19:27] Tomoe
    Though you nearly killed only
    half as many as mineself.
[19:30] Mio
    I believe I brutalized two more than you.
[19:33] Tomoe
    What? I brutalized three more than you.
[19:36] Mio
    No, I brutalized more.
[19:39] Toa
    Wait, stop.
[19:41] Tomoe
    Watch this, girl.
[19:42] Toa
    Okay!
[19:47] Tomoe
    Well? Wouldn't you agree that
    I defeated more of them?
[19:52] Mio
    Take this.
[19:56] Mio
    Wouldn't you agree that I did more?
[19:59] Toa
    The town!
[20:00] Tomoe
    I did more work than you!
[20:02] Mio
    I was more useful!
[20:05] Toa
    Could we set that matter aside for now?
[20:08] Both
    Absolutely not!
[20:10] Tomoe
    I am stronger!
[20:12] Mio
    I'm more capable!
[20:16] Tomoe
    You're not too bad at this!
[20:19] Mio
    Neither are you, Tomoe!
[20:27] Toa
    Rinon!
[20:31] Rinon
    Sister?
[20:35] Toa
    Rinon!
[20:39] Toa
    I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Rinon!
[20:41] Rinon
    Sister!
[20:47] Tomoe
    Raise your heads.
[20:50] Toa
    O-Okay!
[20:51] Toa
    Th-Thank you v-very much
    for r-rescuing me from...
[20:54] Makoto
    She's stuttering like crazy.
[20:57] Makoto
    But aside from her hair color...
[21:00] Makoto
    She's an exact copy of Hasegawa.
[21:06] Mio
    They fell asleep.
[21:08] Tomoe
    The tension must have left them.
[21:10] Makoto
    Now, then...
[21:12] Tomoe
    That settles that.
[21:15] Makoto
    Mio, can you produce spider's silk?
[21:18] Mio
    Yes, I can.
[21:20] Tomoe
    Young Master?
[21:21] Makoto
    I'm glad I got this bow from
    the orcs in the demiplane.
[21:23] Tomoe
    Young Master?
[21:26] Makoto
    You two did a good job rescuing Toa safely.
[21:30] Makoto
    But...
[21:33] Makoto
    Who told you to do all this?
[21:37] Makoto
    Improving the world...
[21:38] Makoto
    That was my intention, but...
[21:40] Makoto
    They razed the town.
[21:42] Tomoe
    What? Uh...
[21:43] Mio
    Young Master?
[21:44] Makoto
    Go reflect on your actions!
[21:54] Makoto
    What am I going to do now?
[21:56] Makoto
    I won't be able to hide
    this if anyone finds out.
[22:00] Makoto
    And now my Japanese sounds weird!
