[00:01] Makoto/N
    Two weeks have passed
    since I became a teacher.
[00:03] Makoto/N
    Following the shop in Tsige,
    a new branch has been opened.
SIGN    Kuzunoha
[00:05] Makoto/N
    The Kuzunoha Trading Company has
    begun operating in Rotsgard, but...
[00:12] Makoto
    I'm replacing you.
[00:13] Aqua
    What? No way!
[00:14] Eris
    Young Master, how could you?
[00:17] Shiki
    I'm sorry, but the others are
    busy at the shop in Tsige.
[00:21] Aqua
    Please don't fire us!
[00:23] Aqua
    Who knows what Tomoe-sama
    and Mio-sama will do to us?
[00:27] Eris
    Wah, wah...
[00:30] Makoto
    Fine.
[00:32] Makoto
    These are the healing salves,
[00:34] Makoto
    these are the antidotes, and these
    are the antipyretic analgesics.
[00:37] Makoto
    And these are the energy drinks.
[00:39] Eris
    Write that down.
[00:40] Aqua
    Why me?
[00:42] Makoto
    I'd like to promote our shop by word of mouth as
    a pharmacy and general store that's open late.
[00:47] Makoto
    I'm planning to operate until midnight.
[00:50] Eris
    Wow, that's exploitative.
[00:52] Aqua
    Shh!
[00:53] Makoto
    Naturally, you'll alternate
    shifts and receive breaks.
[00:57] Makoto
    I'll provide a meal allowance, too.
[00:59] Aqua
    Breaks?
[01:00] Eris
    Meals?
[01:02] Makoto
    You won't have a manager nagging you.
[01:04] Makoto
    Since the shop just opened
    for business, you won't be busy.
[01:07] Makoto
    Sounds a lot nicer than working
    at the shop in Tsige to me.
[01:10] Aqua
    Easier...
[01:12] Eris
    ...than Tsige?
[01:14] All
    Gloria!
[01:16] Makoto
    The grand opening
[01:18] Makoto
    I'm about to lose my mind
[01:19] Makoto
    With anxiety

    Night Six   Becoming a Three-Star Chef
[02:52] Makoto/Id
    My business and lessons
    are going well, but...
[02:58] (Flashback) Girl 1
    Kuzunoha-sensei, please marry me.
[03:01] (Flashback) Makoto
    Huh?
[03:02] (Flashback) Girl 1
    After you've married two other wives.
[03:05] Makoto/Id
    I wasn't expecting this
    world to be polygamous.
[03:10] Girls
    Marry me!
[03:10] Makoto/Id
    They're ignoring my face and
    hoping to become my third
[03:12] Girls
    Marry me!
[03:13] Makoto/Id
    or subsequent wives to
    avoid any responsibilities.
[03:15] Girls
    Marry me!
[03:18] Makoto/Id
    Is this what marriage is like?
[03:20] Makoto/Id
    The concept of marriage
    I'm familiar with is more...
[03:23] Eva
    Excuse me, but who are they?
[03:27] Makoto
    I suppose you could say
    I owe them a great deal.
[03:31] Makoto
    The two of them were very close,
[03:34] Makoto
    so I find the students' view
    of marriage rather alien.
[03:38] Eva
    Many of our students are the
    daughters of nobles or merchants.
[03:43] Eva
    Perhaps they don't see marriage
    as an act of love.
[03:47] Makoto
    They view marriage as political, then?
[03:51] Makoto
    But they're still teens. It's hard
    to believe they think that way.
[03:54] Eva
    Kuzunoha-sensei, you're so naïve.
[03:56] Eva
    No, you're pure.
[04:00] Makoto/Id
    Those two are starting to look a lot better
    since they're not in it for the money.
[04:06] Tomoe
    How was your investigation
    of the sea of trees?
[04:10] Lime
    It seems someone fought Lyca the Waterfall
    before the Battle of Fort Stella.
[04:17] Tomoe
    I see.
[04:18] Lime
    It was probably Sofia Bulga
     the Dragon Slayer.
[04:23] Lime
    Did you learn anything about the ring
    that suppresses the goddess's power?
[04:29] Tomoe
    No. I haven't found any information about it,
[04:32] Tomoe
    though I think I know who created Star Lake.
[04:35] Lime
    It was almost certainly him.
[04:38] Lime
    There's no one but the boss who could—
[04:39] Tomoe
    Looks like you were followed.
[04:45] Lime
    Who is it?
[04:47] Lily
    We are travelers.
[04:49] Lily
    We came because we heard there's
    someone here with an unusual weapon.
[04:55] Lime/Id
    They're after this, huh?
[04:58] Tomoe
    Come in.
[05:01] Lily
    Excuse us.
[05:05] Tomoki
    Huh?
[05:06] Tomoki
    A samurai?! Is that cosplay?!
[05:10] Tomoe
    My name is Tomoe. This is Lime.
[05:13] Tomoe
    We serve as guards for the Kuzunoha
    Trading Company on the frontier.
[05:16] Lily
    I see.
[05:18] Lily
    So that's how you acquired
    those majestic weapons.
[05:20] Tomoki
    You've got an old-fashioned way of speaking.
[05:24] Tomoki
    Gives you the vibes of a real badass.
[05:26] Tomoki
    How old are you?
[05:27] Tomoe
    I don't know what you're talking about,
[05:30] Tomoe
    but it's inappropriate to ask a woman
    her age before stating your own name.
[05:37] Lily
    This is Iwahashi Tomoki-sama
    and the lady-in-waiting Mora.
[05:41] Lily
    My name is Lily.
[05:43] Lime/Id
    The second princess of Gritonia?
[05:47] Lime/Id
    Which means this guy is their hero.
[05:50] Tomoe
    You seem like knights or nobles.
[05:53] Tomoe
    What are you doing in a place like this?
[05:55] Lily
    We came to study the lake
    that suddenly appeared—
[05:58] Tomoki
    Hey, that's a katana, isn't it? Let me see it.
[06:01] Tomoe
    That's fine. The design of this blade—
[06:04] Tomoki
    Oh, sorry. I don't care about that.
[06:09] Tomoki
    I can't draw it... Damn it!
[06:11] Tomoe
    I do apologize, but it's made
    so that only I can unsheathe it.
[06:16] Tomoki
    That can't be right!
[06:18] Tomoki
    I'm supposed to be able to wield
    any weapon in this world.
[06:21] Tomoe
    This blade is my partner.
[06:24] Tomoe
    Be gentle with it.
[06:26] Tomoe
    If you wish to see the blade,
    this should satisfy you.
[06:29] Tomoe
    Its name is Shirafuji.
[06:31] Tomoe
    Behold.
[06:33] Tomoki
    Wow...
[06:35] Lily
    That sword...
[06:36] Mora
    It's beautiful.
[06:37] Tomoe
    Are you satisfied? We have
    business to attend to.
[06:41] Tomoe
    I ask that you leave now.
[06:43] Lily
    Your weapon...
[06:45] Lily
    Would you be willing to part
    with it? Name your price.
[06:50] Tomoe
    I told you, only I can use it.
[06:54] Lily
    I hoped to keep this a secret,
    but you give me no choice.
[06:58] Lily
    I am Princess Lily of the Gritonia Empire.
[07:02] Lily
    Tomoki-sama is the hero granted
    to us by the goddess.
[07:07] Lily
    For the future of hyumankind—no,
    of this world, will you assist us?
[07:13] Tomoe
    I'm quaking in my boots.
[07:16] Tomoe
    It seems to me you have a reason
    for wanting this blade.
[07:21] Tomoe
    For example, perhaps you intend to
    use it to develop your own weapons.
[07:26] Lily
    Surely you jest.
[07:28] Tomoe
    No matter how much you offer me,
    I cannot let you have this.
[07:31] Tomoe
    This conversation is over.
[07:38] Lime
    Boss, they're the hero's party, and it
     would benefit the trading company.
[07:44] Lime
    I'm sure he'd be able to use my katana.
[07:47] Lime
    Why don't we—
[07:48] Tomoe
    Keep your mouth shut.
[07:50] Lime
    Boss?
[07:51] Tomoe
    Forgive me. My man has lost his mind.
[07:54] Tomoki
    Forget the katana.
[07:56] Mora
    Onii-chan?
[07:57] Tomoki
    I am the hero.
[07:59] Tomoki
    I will defeat the demons and
    bring peace to this world.
[08:04] Tomoki
    So, Tomoe-san...
[08:07] Tomoki
    I'd like your assistance.
[08:09] Tomoki
    I want you to serve me.
[08:13] Tomoe
    Is that right?
[08:16] Tomoe
    First, could you stop looking at
    me in such a disgusting manner?
[08:20] Tomoki
    D-Disgusting?
[08:23] Tomoe/Id
    I'd heard the hero was from
    another world, but I'm disappointed.
[08:29] Tomoe/Id
    On top of that, he looks
    at my body with insolence.
SIGN    BOI-OI-OING
SIGN    Eek
SIGN    Get a load of these
[08:34] Tomoe/Id
    He could learn a thing or
    two from the young master.

[08:39] Tomoki
    You haven't responded to my invitation yet.
[08:43] Tomoe
    My answer is no.
[08:45] Tomoe
    My body and mind already belong to another.
[08:49] Tomoki/Id
    My Magic Eye's charm isn't working?
[08:52] Mora
    Tomoe, you're a dragon, aren't you?
[08:55] Tomoe
    Oh?
[08:57] Mora
    You're no ordinary dragon, either.
[08:59] Mora
    You're a powerful dragon of
    great presence and strength.
[09:03] Lily/Id
    The most powerful dragon in
    the area is Lyca the Waterfall.
[09:09] Tomoe
    I am not Lyca.
[09:12] Lily/Id
    Sh-She read my thoughts?
[09:14] Mora
    Tomoe!
[09:15] Mora
    Join me in serving my brother!
[09:19] Tomoe
    Oh? You possess the ability
    to command dragons.
[09:23] Tomoe
    You must be a dragon summoner.
[09:27] Mora
    Huh?
[09:29] Mora
    T-Tomoe, I...
[09:33] Tomoe
    Keep your meaningless thoughts
    away from me, girl!
[09:40] Lime
    Huh? Why am I holding my katana?
[09:43] Tomoki/Id
    Did that dispel the effect of my Magic Eye?
[09:46] Lime
    Why was I trying to give it to this goon?
[09:49] Tomoki
    Who are you calling a goon?
[09:53] Tomoki
    You're a nobody!
[09:58] Tomoe
    Good grief. You're like a
    child throwing a tantrum.
[10:02] Tomoki
    Shut up! I'm the hero!
[10:05] Tomoe
    Hero of the empire,
[10:07] Tomoe
    you're a hopeless piece of trash.
[10:15] Tomoki
    Don't look at me like that!
[10:20] Tomoe
    Princess Lily, I'll pretend we never met.
[10:25] Tomoe
    If you fail to understand my
    meaning and act foolishly again,
[10:30] Tomoe
    then know that the empire's hero
    will disappear before long.
[10:35] Lily/Id
    A mind-reading dragon who
    uses mists and illusions?
[10:40] Tomoki
    Tomoe, you're a top-ranked rare character.
[10:44] Tomoe
    I want you. You will be mine!
[10:50] Lime
    What was I thinking?
[10:52] Lime
    How could I offer that fool the
    precious sword you gave me?
[11:00] Tomoe
    Lime, will you become my clansman?
[11:03] Lime
    Yes, Boss.
[11:05] Tomoe
    That was quick.
[11:07] Lime
    I've enjoyed becoming stronger,
[11:12] Lime
    but I was powerless when it mattered.
[11:14] Lime
    I never want to experience
    that regret again.
[11:18] Tomoe
    Then let us begin.
[11:21] Tomoe
    Don't worry. This won't hurt.
[11:23] Tomoe
    It'll be over soon.
[11:27] Mio/Id
    So these are seaweed scraps.
[11:29] Mio/Id
    I can't tell which is which.
[11:33] Mio/Id
    Why, it's delicious.
[11:36] Mio/Id
    The dried bits have umami, and they're
    soft enough for hyumans to chew.
[11:40] Mio/Id
    They're not poisonous, either.
[11:42] Hibiki
    Wait! Stop!
[11:44] Mio
    So noisy.
[11:54] Mio
    My kimono is all wet.
[12:00] Mio
    Die, you mangy beast.
[12:09] Mio
    Are you its owner? Then you can die with it.
[12:13] Hibiki
    Are you all right?! Are you hurt?!
[12:15] Mio
    Huh?
[12:16] Hibiki
    I understand why you'd be upset
    when he suddenly jumped on you.
[12:20] Hibiki
    I'm really sorry!
[12:22] Mio/Id
    This hyuman is more concerned about
    my well-being than her own life?
[12:26] Mio/Id
    And her black hair...
[12:28] Hibiki
    It's all my fault.
[12:29] Hibiki
    I'll make sure he reflects on his actions, too.
[12:33] Mio
    Reflects?
[12:34] Hibiki
    Horn, go back inside!
[12:38] Mio
    Oh, my. It's a type of spirit.
[12:41] Hibiki
    Apparently he's a guardian
    beast or something like that.
SIGN    EH HEH
[12:44] Hibiki
    I actually don't know too much about it.
[12:47] Mio/Id
    Why does she remind me of the young master?
SIGN    EH HEH
[12:51] Hibiki
    My name is Hibiki.
[12:53] Hibiki
    I swear I'll see your injuries
    healed and your clothes mended.
[12:56] Mio
    I am Mio. I am not injured.
[12:59] Mio
    The beast only left some
    marks on my clothes.
[13:02] Hibiki
    Then allow me to make it up to you somehow.
[13:04] Mio
    In that case...
[13:07] Mio
    Could you select the best pieces
    from that pile of sea grass?
[13:10] Hibiki
    You mean that seaweed and kelp over there?
[13:13] Mio
    Seaweed!
[13:14] Mio
    Did you say seaweed?!
[13:16] Hibiki
    No, I'm Hibiki.
[13:17] Mio
    Yes, you mentioned that!
[13:18] Mio
    You can tell the difference
    between seaweed and kelp?
[13:21] Hibiki
    Uh, well...
[13:23] Hibiki
    This is probably kelp,
    and that's probably seaweed.
SIGN    Kelp
SIGN    Seaweed
[13:28] Mio
    So this is seaweed?
[13:30] Mio
    I thought it was a more vivid green.
[13:31] Hibiki
    Boiling it gives it a beautiful green color.
[13:34] Hibiki
    It's good in miso—I mean, in soup.
[13:38] Hibiki
    Ugh, it stinks.
[13:38] Mio
    Miso soup!
[13:41] Mio
    You know how to prepare
    that dish, don't you?
[13:43] Mio
    Oh, how marvelous! I must thank the
    young master for this encounter!
[13:47] Hibiki
    Young master? Who—
[13:48] Hibiki
    Ow, ow, ow! That hurts! You're so strong!
SIGN    And so the Hero of Limia and Spider of Disaster were reunited.
[13:51] Hibiki
    Mio-san, let go of me!
[13:55] Mio
    You were on your way to
    Tsige to acquire weapons?
[13:58] [SONG] Sign
    2 Days Later
[13:58] [SONG] Sign
    2 Days Later
[14:00] Hibiki
    Yes, due to certain circumstances.
[14:03] Mio
    Well, no matter.
[14:06] Mio
    Now, regarding that dish we were discussing
    that involves cooking the pot lid...
[14:10] Hibiki
    I think you're talking about a drop lid.
[14:13] Hibiki
    It's an item used when boiling food.
[14:15] Woody/Id
    Hibiki...
[14:17] Woody/Id
    She acts tough, but her emotional scars
    are deeper than anyone can imagine.
[14:21] Woody/Id
    She's been hiding her identity in her
    travels, hoping it'll lift her spirits, but...
[14:29] Mio
    I have a question for you.
[14:31] Mio
    Are you strong?
[14:36] Hibiki
    I'm a decent fighter.
[14:39] Mio
    I see. In that case, could I ask you to handle
    the rare creature that's headed this way?
[14:46] Mio
    If not, I'll do it.
[14:49] Chiya
    What is that?
[14:51] Woody
    The wind is blowing wildly.
[14:57] Hibiki
    Chiya-chan, erect a defensive barrier!
[14:59] Hibiki
    Woody-san, back us up with support magic!
[15:01] Both
    Got it!
[15:03] Verda
    I'll handle this!
[15:06] Mio/Id
    They're not bad, but they're poorly equipped.
[15:13] Verda/Id
    Why'd we have to encounter this thing
    before getting new equipment in Tsige?
[15:18] Verda/Id
    I must be like Naval.
[15:21] Verda/Id
    I must fight for Hibiki!
[15:23] Mio
    Idiot! Get out of the way!
[15:32] Hibiki
    Verda-kun!
[15:35] Woody
    We must regroup. Hibiki, your orders?
[15:37] Hibiki
    Right.
[15:41] Hibiki
    No...
[15:46] Hibiki
    Mio-san, please help us!
[15:51] Mio
    Shame on you for not knowing
    your own strength.
[16:03] Mio
    Now die.
[16:07] Mio
    It's over.
[16:10] Both
    Huh?
[16:12] Mio
    Is he all right?
[16:14] Chiya
    Oh... Yes. He's not mortally wounded.
[16:17] Mio
    Then he doesn't require assistance.
[16:19] Mio
    I'd like to harvest this monster's
    materials. Help me break down—
[16:22] Hibiki
    Mio-san, behind you!
[16:27] Makoto
    It looks good on you.
[16:33] Mio
    The young master praised how
    I looked in this kimono.
[16:36] Mio
    How dare you?!
[16:39] Mio
    You pest!
[16:50] Mio
    I hope this can be mended.
[16:56] Mio
    Looks like we won't be able
    to take our time anymore.
[16:59] Mio
    We should hurry.
[17:12] Mio
    I see. We seem to have met before.
[17:17] Mio
    That's why you bit me when we met.
[17:20] Mio
    I am different now.
[17:23] Mio
    I rescued your master just now, did I not?
[17:27] Mio
    I won't hurt you, so don't tell
    them what I truly am, mongrel.
[17:34] Mio
    What a clever boy.
[17:48] Mio
    I brought you and your friends to Tsige.
[17:51] Mio
    When you wake up, seek out the
    Kuzunoha Trading Company.
[17:54] Hibiki
    The Kuzunoha Trading Company...
[17:59] Mio
    Oh, you're finally here.
[18:01] Verda
    Thank you for your help.
[18:03] Hibiki
    Will your kimono be all right?
[18:06] Mio
    I shall have it mended.
[18:08] Mio
    The young master wouldn't look
    at me when I wore this one.
[18:14] Hibiki
    You invited us here to discuss the
    incident with the monster, didn't you?
[18:18] Hibiki
    Ultimately, I turned to you for help.
[18:22] Hibiki
    I deserve whatever criticism
    you have for me.
[18:25] Mio
    Why would I criticize you?
[18:27] Mio
    It's a good thing you didn't die, is it not?
[18:30] Hibiki
    Then why did you invite us here?
[18:33] Mio
    To cook.
[18:35] Hibiki
    Huh?
[18:36] Mio
    You can repay me by giving
    me a bit of your time.
[18:39] Mio
    You still haven't told me how to
    extract a broth from the sea grass.
[18:43] Hibiki
    A b-broth? That's all you want?
[18:46] Mio
    Yes, that's all.
[18:47] Woody
    M-Mio-dono, we came to Tsige to acquire new
    equipment and train in the wasteland.
[18:54] Verda
    We don't have much time.
[18:56] Mio
    It would be pointless for a party
    that struggled against that monster
[19:00] Mio
    to head into the wasteland.
[19:02] Mio
    You'd merely be feeding the monsters.
[19:05] Chiya
    But...
[19:06] Hibiki
    Regardless, we must become stronger.
[19:12] Mio
    I don't know what your circumstances are,
     but this simply won't do.
[19:16] Beren
    How about this, then?
[19:19] Beren
    We'll create equipment you can
    use to fight in the wasteland.
[19:23] Beren
    You can pay for it later.
[19:26] Beren
    During the three days it will
    take to create the equipment
[19:30] Beren
    and at nights while you're training,
    could you teach Mio-sama to cook?
[19:34] Mio
    Beren, new equipment won't
    guarantee their survival.
[19:38] Hibiki
    Mio-san...
SIGN    TOUCHED
[19:40] Mio
    And do you think I can learn to
    create a broth in just three days?
[19:45] Hibiki/Id
    That's what she's worried about?
[19:48] Beren
    If you're worried, why not have Toa-dono
    and her companions accompany them?
[19:53] Mio
    I see. They won't die if they go with them.
[19:57] Mio
    That's a fantastic idea, Beren.
[19:59] Beren
    Thank you.
[20:01] Beren
    So, what do you all think?
[20:06] Hibiki
    W-We appreciate the offer.
[20:14] Hibiki/Id
    She's gotten better at
    evaluating ingredients.
[20:17] Hibiki/Id
    Her knife skills are decent, too.
[20:20] Hibiki/Id
    But when it comes to applying
    force in other ways...
[20:23] Mio
    Here I go.
[20:25] Mio
    Why?
[20:26] Hibiki
    At least you've learned to
    succeed a third of the time.
[20:31] Hibiki
    Um, so are these for a dessert?
[20:34] Hibiki
    Let me have a taste.
[20:36] Mio
    They're delicious and a bit spicy.
[20:38] Hibiki
    Oh?
[20:39] Hibiki
    Yeugh!
[20:42] Mio
    Also, this broth tastes better
    when it's not boiled.
[20:49] Hibiki
    Mio-san, I've learned something about
    your sense of taste, and that is...
SIGN    In Some Ways, an Exquisite Sense of Taste
SIGN    In Some Ways, an Exquisite Sense of Taste
[20:54] Hibiki
    You have a high tolerance for untasty foods,
[20:57] Hibiki
    but you're also very sensitive to tasty foods.
[21:00] Mio
    That means I've got a knack
    for cooking, doesn't it?
[21:03] Hibiki
    If you can distinguish between
    the two, then there's hope.
[21:05] Hibiki
    What is tasty, and what is not?
SIGN    Mio's culinary journey 
    approaches a turning point.
[21:09] Hibiki
    We'll start by mastering that.
[21:11] Mio
    Understood!

    An unexpected encounter
    unbeknownst to her master.
[21:17] Makoto/N
    The follower and the hero form a friendship.
[21:20] Makoto/N
    Meanwhile, we return once again to Rotsgard.
[21:25] Makoto
    What? Tomoe did?
[21:26] Shiki
    Yes.
[21:28] Shiki
    She asked that we return to the demiplane,
    as she has much to report on.
[21:33] Makoto
    Come to think of it, we've only
    been communicating telepathically.
[21:35] Makoto
    I haven't been back at all.
[21:38] Shiki
    I've arranged for the forest ogres
    to handle the shop in Rotsgard.
[21:43] Makoto
    I'm a little worried, but if
    you say so, Manager Shiki.
[21:48] Makoto
    I trust you.
[21:57] Makoto
    Huh?
[21:59] Makoto
    What's going on here?
