[00:02] Eris
    How dare they enter our woods
    in their filthy boots?
[00:06] Eris
    Damn pipthieves.
[00:08] Aqua
    What's a pipthief?
[00:10] Eris
    A combination of a pipsqueak
    and a sneak thief.
[00:13] Eris
    Anyway, Aqua, did you kill them?
[00:16] Aqua
    They're alive.
[00:17] Aqua
    I'd have killed them if they
    touched the red lotuses, though.
[00:21] Eris
    Eggsactly.
[00:22] Aqua
    Egg...?
[00:24] Aqua
    Eris, you've been saying a lot
    of strange words recently.
[02:00] Makoto
    Uh, nothing's wrong with me.
[02:02] [SONG] Eptitle
    Night Nine       Eat or Be Eaten
[02:03] Emma
    Status effect clearing spells
    seem to be ineffective.
[02:06] Tomoe
    The young master's mana
    is just that tremendous.
[02:10] Fragment
    Young Master!
[02:12] Fragment
    We're ready!
[02:14] All
    Young Master!
[02:18] Makoto
    Uh... Thanks for throwing a party
    to celebrate the establishment
[02:22] Makoto
    of my trading company in the outside world.
[02:27] Makoto
    Tomoe, aren't you better
    at this kind of thing?
[02:30] Tomoe
    They want to hear you speak, Young Master.
[02:33] Fragment
    Young Master, drink this.
[02:35] Makoto
    Thanks, Tomoe's fragment.
[02:39] Makoto
    What?
[02:40] Tomoe
    Well, just... Since my fragment
    and I are connected,
[02:45] Tomoe
    when you pat her head, I...
[02:47] Fragment
    I...
[02:48] Makoto
    What?
[02:50] Mio
    Young Master, I found this dish in Tsige.
[02:55] Makoto
    It smells good.
[02:57] Mio
    Is this not an opportunity
    for me to feed him?
[03:00] Makoto
    It's got a strong flavor. It's good.
[03:03] Mio
    He's so wonderfully feral.
[03:06] Makoto
    Oh, sorry.
[03:07] Makoto
    Was that ill-mannered of me?
[03:09] Tomoe
    Come on, Mio.
[03:10] Tomoe
    Let's make room at the young master's
    side for the demiplane residents today.
[03:15] Mio
    B-But...
[03:19] Akina
    It's good to see you again.
[03:21] Akina
    I am Akina the alke.
[03:23] Akina
    I've learned to remain transformed
    for long periods of time.
[03:25] Makoto
    Wow, you've perfected your human form.
[03:29] Akina
    May I report on our visit to
    Tinarak Forest the other day?
[03:33] Makoto
    Sure. Did you find any ambrosia?
[03:36] Akina
    Yes. Here are the flower's
    coordinates and relevant details.
[03:40] Akina
    We thought about bringing one back,
[03:43] Akina
    but there seems to be a
    species tending the woods.
[03:46] Makoto
    That's fine.
[03:47] Makoto
    Sounds like carelessly harvesting
    them would cause problems.
[03:51] Makoto
    By the way, have the alke adjusted
    to life in the demiplane?
[03:55] Akina
    Yes, thanks to you.
[03:58] Akina
    Haruna seems to enjoy using weapons.
[04:01] Akina
    She even participates in combat
    training occasionally.
[04:04] Akina
    Minato is researching a variety of subjects,
    such as blacksmithing and alchemy.
[04:09] Akina
    Hokuto has thrown himself
    into construction work.
[04:12] Akina
    He's currently assisting the orcs.
[04:15] Akina
    I often accompany Mio-sama.
[04:19] Akina
    While searching for the flower in the outside
     world, we visited a number of food stalls.
[04:24] Makoto
    That must have led to the dish Mio found.
[04:27] Akina
    It's all thanks to you, Young Master.
[04:31] Akina
    I should get going.
[04:34] Liddy
    Young Master.
[04:35] Makoto
    Hey, you fought for the lizards.
[04:37] Liddy
    My name is Liddy.
[04:39] Liddy
    Since then, I've acquired new tactics
    through our joint training sessions.
[04:43] Liddy
    I defeated Agares the other day.
[04:47] Makoto
    Sounds like it was worth it.
[04:49] Liddy
    Yes, sir.
[04:50] Liddy
    Recently, I've been training in unarmed combat
[04:52] Liddy
    to prepare for the Demiplane
    Ranking in three months.
[04:55] Makoto
    Sounds like something a swordsman would do.
[04:58] Makoto
    Could it be...
[04:59] Liddy
    Yes, sir. Tomoe-sama is coaching me.
[05:03] Makoto
    Uh-oh... Tomoe's influence is
    taking over the demiplane.
[05:09] Beren
    You're staying in Tsige, Young Master?
[05:12] Beren
    How is the hyuman town?
[05:15] Makoto
    It's a nice, lively place.
[05:17] Makoto
    Tomoe and Mio stand out a little, though.
[05:22] Beren
    That said, I'm jealous that
    they get to accompany you.
[05:27] Beren
    I'm sure every day is exciting.
[05:30] Makoto
    You guys haven't left the demiplane
    since you arrived, huh?
[05:34] Makoto
    I know it's a little bigger now, but still,
    do you sometimes find it suffocating?
[05:38] Beren
    Huh?
[05:39] Makoto
    Huh?
[05:40] Beren
    Young Master, there's no suffocating,
    confined feeling to be found in this world.
[05:46] Makoto
    R-Really?
[05:48] Beren
    This bountiful land is seemingly endless.
[05:53] Beren
    There are mountains in the distance and
    rivers flowing from unknown sources.
[05:57] Beren
    What else could one possibly
    ask for in this paradise?
[06:01] Beren
    Not only that, but I get
    to make arms for you.
[06:04] Beren
    As a craftsman, I couldn't be happier.
[06:06] Makoto
    I see. I'm relieved to hear that.
[06:09] Beren
    But I am curious to know what kinds of
    arms are popular outside the demiplane.
[06:16] Makoto
    In that case, would you like to try
    running the shop we're renting in Tsige?
[06:20] Beren
    Who, me?
[06:22] Makoto
    Dwarves are known for being
    excellent blacksmiths.
[06:26] Makoto
    I'm sure people would hire you
    to make weapons for them.
[06:29] Beren
    You'd allow me to do that?
[06:31] Makoto
    Yes, of course.
[06:33] Beren
    Then I look forward to that.
[06:38] Hayato
    Y-Young Master, you previously
    healed my injuries.
[06:43] Makoto
    Right, while logging.
[06:45] Hayato
    Y-You remember!
[06:48] Hayato
    I'm actually assigned to the next shift of
    guiding adventurers to the illusory city.
[06:54] Makoto
    The illusory city.
[06:55] Makoto
    It's the fictional city we
    invented to distribute products
[06:59] Makoto
    that exist only in the
    demiplane via adventurers.
[07:04] Makoto
    Sorry for making you do
    that for my business.
[07:08] Hayato
    It's nothing.
[07:09] Hayato
    I've always wanted to do something
    for you, Young Master.
[07:15] All
    Let me speak to the young master, too!
[07:15] All
    Me, too!
[07:21] Tomoe
    Are they still hogging the young master?
[07:24] Mio
    Don't ask me. You did this to yourself.
[07:27] Mio
    I wanted to report to him about the ambrosia.
[07:31] Mio
    The creatures tending to
    that flower are probably...
[07:34] Tomoe
    Mio, you shouldn't include
    speculation in your report.
[07:38] Tomoe
    Communicate only the facts and
    trust the young master's judgment.
[07:42] Tomoe
    We should only offer our opinions
    when we're asked for them.
[07:46] Mio
    You're right.
[07:48] Tomoe
    That's odd. I don't sense
    the young master nearby.
[07:51] Tomoe
    Did he return to his mansion?
[07:54] Tomoe
    No, wait...
[08:00] Mio
    No, Young Master!
[08:03] Tomoe
    Mio, calm down!
[08:05] Mio
    B-But, but...
[08:07] Tomoe
    His presence has returned.
[08:09] Mio
    But...
[08:10] Tomoe
    Let's head there. Quickly,
    without the others noticing.
[08:21] Makoto
    The target didn't break.
[08:24] Makoto
    I've learned to control my strength.
[08:26] Tomoe
    Young Master!
[08:27] Makoto
    How long have you been standing there?!
[08:29] Mio
    Young Master!
[08:33] Makoto
    Hey!
[08:35] Mio
    You're alive! You're still alive!
[08:38] Makoto
    Y-You're so close. What are you talking—
[08:42] Makoto
    Tomoe, are we under attack?
[08:46] Tomoe
    No.
[08:48] Tomoe
    Were you training with a bow?
[08:51] Makoto
    Yeah, since I had them make a simple range.
[08:55] Tomoe
    You've practiced like that all this time?
[09:00] Makoto
    Yeah. So what?
[09:02] Tomoe
    You can't be serious!
[09:04] Tomoe
    You've died countless times!
[09:08] Makoto
    Uh-huh...
[09:09] Makoto
    But I'm alive.
[09:11] Tomoe
    May I ask how you draw your bow?
[09:14] Makoto
    How?
[09:16] Makoto
    Well, normally I shoot while standing,
    but when I want to focus deeply, I'll kneel.
[09:21] Tomoe
    Skip the details!
[09:22] Makoto
    You're the one who asked!
[09:25] Tomoe
    You said "focus deeply," didn't you?
[09:29] Tomoe
    Your actions caused your
    consciousness to waver.
[09:32] Tomoe
    You appeared to blend
    into your surroundings.
[09:35] Makoto
    After clearing my mind,
[09:38] Makoto
    I imagine myself assimilating into everything
    between myself and the target, and—
[09:42] Tomoe
    Young Master!
[09:43] Makoto
    What?!
[09:44] Tomoe
    You extended your consciousness to that
    distant target and then reconstituted yourself?
[09:49] Makoto
    Yes!
[09:51] Mio
    Y-Young Master,
[09:54] Mio
    people can only diffuse their
    consciousness when they d-die.
[10:01] Makoto
    What?
[10:03] Mio
    What you were doing looked exactly
    like committing s-suicide!
[10:08] Makoto
    She's crying!
[10:10] Makoto
    But look, I'm actually alive.
[10:12] Makoto
    So there's no problem, right?
[10:14] Tomoe
    There's a huge problem.
[10:15] Tomoe
    Your mana is increasing.
[10:19] Makoto
    Huh?
[10:21] Tomoe
    Normally there's a limit to
    how much mana one can have.
[10:24] Tomoe
    No amount of training can
    increase one's mana,
[10:27] Tomoe
    but yours is growing at an absurd rate.
[10:31] Makoto
    My Draupnirs!
[10:33] Makoto
    I just swapped them out, too!
[10:35] Tomoe
    Your extreme focus—that
    act similar to dying
[10:38] Tomoe
    and being reborn—is most likely
    causing your mana to increase.
[10:43] Makoto
    But all I did was shoot a bow.
[10:47] Tomoe
    You're experiencing death and rebirth.
[10:49] Tomoe
    I've heard of several cases of one's mana
    increasing after such a miraculous event.
[10:56] Makoto
    I can't even shoot a bow?
[10:58] Tomoe
    It should be possible for you
    to shoot without focusing.
[11:01] Tomoe
    The bigger problem is
    your current mana level.
[11:04] Makoto
    You mean I'm overflowing
    with demon kings again?
[11:07] Tomoe
    Not demon kings.
[11:09] Tomoe
    The amount of mana you currently possess...
[11:12] Tomoe
    is on the level of the goddess.
[11:15] Makoto
    What?
[11:17] Tomoe
    Furthermore, as you've gained mana,
    the demiplane has expanded, too.
[11:22] Makoto
    The demiplane is growing?!
[11:24] Tomoe
    Yes, probably because this demiplane is the
    product of interference between our powers.
[11:32] Makoto
    But...
[11:33] Tomoe
    For example, look at the placement
    of the stars in the sky.
[11:37] Tomoe
    I am not familiar with these.
[11:39] Makoto
    The stars...
[11:41] Makoto
    Yeah, those are all constellations I know.
[11:44] Makoto
    The way their placement and seasons
    are all mixed up makes sense, too.
[11:48] Tomoe
    Anyway, this is bad news for us.
[11:51] Tomoe
    If that goddess learns about this,
[11:54] Tomoe
    she'll most likely move to exterminate you.
[11:57] Goddess
    There's an impurity in my beautiful world?
[12:01] Goddess
    Die, hideous creature!
[12:03] Makoto
    I can easily imagine that.
[12:05] Tomoe
    For now, we'll counteract that
    by controlling your mana.
[12:09] Tomoe
    We'll have the dwarves rush to complete
    some mana-absorbing protective gear.
[12:14] Makoto
    I'll use my Kai to conceal my mana while
    visiting the outside world for a while.
[12:20] Tomoe
    I'll think of some more countermeasures
    before heading back.
[12:23] Tomoe
    Young Master, see Mio off.
[12:26] Makoto
    I-I'll do that.
[12:29] Tomoe
    How incredibly horrifying.
[12:33] Tomoe
    Who knew the man I chose as my master
    would approach the level of a god?
[12:33] Makoto
    Mio, I'm fine.
[12:36] Mio
    Young Master...
[12:37] Makoto
    Really, I'm fine.
[12:38] Tomoe
    Good grief. I don't have time to be
    bored when I'm with the young master.
[12:44] Tomoe
    Ah, I'm beat.
[12:46] Tomoe
    I'm so shocked, I can't stand.
[12:54] Makoto
    There's a lot that needs to be done
    in preparation to open a store.
[12:57] Makoto
    I'm going shopping next.
[13:00] Makoto
    My head is a mess because
    I can't focus while shooting a bow.
[13:04] Makoto
    What happened yesterday was bad enough.
[13:08] (Flashback) Mio
    Um, Young Master?
[13:10] (Flashback) Makoto
    What is it? It's late.
[13:12] (Flashback) Mio
    I thought... I could attend to you tonight.
[13:16] (Flashback) Makoto
    Huh? There's no more work to be done today.
[13:19] (Flashback) Makoto
    I'm going to sleep soon, too.
[13:21] (Flashback) Mio
    Uh, um...
[13:23] (Flashback) Makoto
    You should get some rest, too. Goodnight.
[13:26] (Flashback) Mio
    Okay...
[13:31] (Flashback) Tomoe
    That was rather quick!
[13:33] (Flashback) Mio
    You're the one who told me to soothe the
    young master since he can't shoot a bow!
[13:37] Makoto
    Attend to? Soothe?
[13:40] Makoto
    Was she talking about sleeping with me?!
[13:41] Makoto
    Damn it, Tomoe! Why'd you have to do that?!
[13:45] Makoto
    Ugh, my nerves are so frayed.
[13:48] Makoto
    Since I'm not physically tired, I'm that
    much more mentally exhausted.
[13:53] Makoto
    I'm even hallucinating a bag flying at me.
[13:55] Makoto
    No, wait!
[13:58] Tanuki
    M-My bag!
[14:01] Makoto
    He's not speaking Common.
    Is he a demihuman?
[14:05] Makoto
    Are you all right?
[14:07] Tanuki
    Y-Yes.
[14:08] Makoto
    Huh?
[14:10] Tanuki
    Thank you.
[14:13] Makoto
    I'm starting to see
[14:14] Makoto
    why people say I have a
[14:16] Makoto
    demihuman face.
[14:18] Elaine
    You're a nice guy, mister.
[14:20] Makoto
    Huh?!
[14:21] Elaine
    What's wrong? You look tired.
[14:24] Makoto
    I-Is this a red-light district?!
[14:27] Elaine
    I'm not doing anything right now
    since I don't have any customers.
[14:30] Elaine
    Since you're so nice,
[14:32] Elaine
    I'll treat you to some special service.
[14:37] Makoto
    Service?!
[14:41] Elaine
    Oh?
[14:42] Makoto
    Huh? Wh-What?
[14:45] Makoto
    Hey!
[14:46] Makoto
    What's going on?
[14:49] Makoto
    Hey... Why aren't you two saying anything?
[14:55] Makoto
    I should run.
[15:01] Mio
    Young Master, where do
    you think you're going?
[15:04] Makoto
    What do you think you're doing?
[15:05] Makoto
    You've gone too far with your pranks this time.
[15:07] Tomoe
    Pranks?
[15:09] Tomoe
    Since you're such an
    inexperienced late bloomer,
[15:11] Tomoe
    we were doing our best to be careful
    and assertive without being too pushy,
[15:14] Tomoe
    but you were trying to pick up
    a prostitute, so we stopped you,
[15:16] Tomoe
    and you call that a prank?
[15:18] Makoto
    Why are you speaking so
    quickly all of a sudden?
[15:20] Makoto
    I think I heard something I shouldn't ignore,
[15:23] Makoto
    but I just happened to run into that woman.
[15:25] Makoto
    Wait, weren't you watching?
[15:26] Tomoe
    Yes, it was quite the sight to behold.
[15:29] Makoto
    I... I wouldn't say that.
[15:32] Mio
    Are we not good enough for you?
[15:34] Makoto
    I-It's not like that.
[15:36] Tomoe
    Then what's the problem?
[15:38] Makoto
    Th-The two of you are l-like...
[15:42] Tomoe
    Like?
[15:43] Makoto
    I-I love them like family, but I could
    never say something so embarrassing.
[15:49] Makoto
    I-It's none of your business.
[15:53] Tomoe
    Mio.
[15:55] Mio
    Yes, Tomoe-san.
[15:59] Tomoe
    There's no time to worry about who's first.
[16:02] Mio
    You'll have relations with
    both of us here and now.
[16:05] Makoto
    Wh-What are you talking about?!
[16:09] Tomoe
    Young Master...
[16:11] Mio
    Young Master...
[16:15] Both
    Come on.
[16:17] Makoto
    W-Wait, you two!
[16:21] Makoto
    Cool your heads!
[16:28] Tomoe
    He fled through a mist gate.
[16:30] Tomoe
    Perhaps we were too forceful.
[16:32] Mio
    D-Did we anger the young master?
[16:35] Tomoe
    No, he wasn't angry. More like...
[16:37] Mio
    Perhaps he prefers more
    lascivious undergarments!
[16:41] Mio
    It's because we were wearing
    unsexy cloth bandages!
[16:43] Tomoe
    I don't think that was the problem.
[16:44] Mio
    What are we going to do?
[16:45] Mio
    We need to find something the
    young master would like!
[16:46] Tomoe
    She's not listening.
[16:49] Emma
    Young Master!
[16:51] Emma
    Young Master?
[16:52] Makoto
    I remember now. That inn has two floors.
[16:56] Emma
    Your clothes have been torn
    to shreds. What happened?
[16:59] Makoto
    Uh, well...
[17:01] Emma
    Pink mist and spider's silk...
[17:05] Emma
    You can't stay dressed in those clothes.
[17:09] Emma
    Rugui-san just completed some
    magical protective gear.
[17:12] Emma
    Why don't you go try it on?
[17:14] Makoto
    Thanks for figuring it out on your own, Emma-san.
[17:20] Lugui
    Finally, link those chains
    to the inside of your coat.
[17:25] Lugui
    They function as previously described.
[17:28] Lugui
    I've greatly increased their durability, too.
[17:33] Makoto
    Looks good.
[17:35] Lugui
    That set's for business.
[17:37] Lugui
    I plan to make ones for social
    events and combat, too.
[17:41] Mio
    Excuse me, Young Master.
[17:44] Makoto
    Mio...
[17:47] Mio
    I'm sorry about last night.
[17:49] Mio
    I understand why you're so angry with us.
[17:52] Makoto
    No, I'm not mad.
[17:55] Makoto
    But from now on, maybe don't do that.
[17:59] Mio
    I understand.
[18:04] Makoto
    This is awkward.
[18:06] Makoto
    B-By the way, I heard there's a species
    that tends to the ambrosia flowers.
[18:11] Mio
    Y-Yes.
[18:12] Makoto
    I'm thinking about negotiating
    with them for a flower.
[18:16] Mio
    Oh, no.
[18:17] Mio
    I couldn't possibly take
    up your time with that.
[18:21] Mio
    Allow me to handle it.
[18:23] Makoto
    No, let's go together.
[18:26] Mio
    Together?
[18:27] Makoto
    We can go there together, okay?
[18:30] Mio
    Let's...
[18:32] Mio
    Let's go! I wouldn't dream of not going!
[18:34] Makoto
    What is that supposed to mean?
[18:36] [SONG] Sign
    Tinarak Forest
[18:40] Makoto
    They're following us.
[18:42] Mio
    Yes. I left them alone since
    they were so insignificant,
[18:45] Mio
    but with your permission,
    I'll leave no trace of them.
[18:48] Makoto
    You don't need to do that.
[18:50] Makoto
    I doubt they'll cause any harm,
    but we might as well lose them.
[18:55] Mio
    Yes, Young Master.
[18:57] Malcolm
    Wh-What's this thread?
[18:59] Erine
    It's stuck to me and won't come off!
[19:03] Elaine
    Crap!
[19:07] Makoto
    This is where the ambrosia grows.
[19:10] Makoto
    Someone's definitely tending to it.
[19:13] Makoto
    Whoops.
[19:15] Makoto
    We'll slip if we're not careful.
[19:18] Makoto
    It's slippery. Let's hold handsies.
[19:23] Mio
    Handsies?
[19:25] Makoto
    That slipped out because
    I thought of my little sister.
[19:27] Makoto
    Sorry, that's not what I meant.
[19:29] Mio
    Not at all.
[19:31] Mio
    I'll hold on as tightly as I can!
[19:32] Makoto
    Not that tight, please!
[19:37] Mio
    The young master's hand...
[19:39] Mio
    It's slightly larger than mine.
[19:43] Mio
    I'm so happy.
[19:44] Mio
    I wish this moment would last forever.
[19:47] Aqua
    Halt!
[19:49] Aqua
    Hyumans, what are you doing in our woods?
[19:52] Makoto
    Those are the keepers of the forest?
[19:57] Makoto
    We mean no harm. Can't we talk?
[20:01] Mio
    Thirty-one seconds...
[20:03] Mio
    A mere 31 seconds...
[20:06] Mio
    How dare you interrupt my moment of
    happiness with the young master?
[20:10] Makoto
    Something sinister is pouring off of you!
[20:13] Elaine
    I sense mana coming from over here!
[20:16] Makoto
    Crap! It's those adventurers!
[20:18] Elaine
    Are those ambrosia flowers?
[20:22] Elaine
    Those belong to us! We'll be
    taking every last one of those!
[20:25] Makoto
    But why?!
[20:27] Aqua
    I knew it! Thieves!
[20:29] Makoto
    W-Wait! Calm down!
[20:32] Mio
    Young Master, I can eat them, right?
[20:34] Mio
    You don't mind if I kill all of them, do you?
[20:36] Makoto
    Don't! You need to calm down the most!
[20:38] Eris
    You, woman.
[20:40] Eris
    You smell like red lotus.
[20:43] Makoto
    Smell?
[20:44] Makoto
    From the last time she investigated
    the flowers? But that was days ago.
[20:50] Eris
    Woof.
[20:50] Makoto
    Why did you bark?
[20:52] Eris
    A divine revelation told me to bark.
[20:54] Aqua
    From who?
[20:56] Eris
    From myself.
[20:57] Makoto
    Divine revelations don't come from yourself!
[20:59] Eris
    Nice retort.
[21:01] Eris
    But a crime is a crime.
[21:03] Eris
    Anywho, you'll pay with your lives.
[21:06] Makoto
    "Anywho"?
[21:07] Eris
    Don't waste your breath!
[21:09] Eris
    Death or die!
[21:12] Makoto
    I'm dead either way!
[21:15] Elaine
    Hey, why are you running? Defeat them!
[21:19] Makoto
    Why is she giving me orders?
[21:21] Makoto
    Wait, didn't I run into her yesterday?
[21:27] Aqua
    He countered Eris's magic.
[21:29] Aqua
    In that case, we'll start with the small fry!
[21:40] Makoto
    Defensive Kai!
[21:44] Aqua
    What? He deflected them?
[21:47] Makoto
    All right. I was able to use it while
    also using my mana-concealing Kai.
[21:51] Makoto
    That should improve the situation some.
[21:53] Mio
    Kill, kill, kill.
[21:55] Makoto
    She's about to boil over!
[21:57] Makoto
    Things haven't improved at all!
