[00:00] Makoto/N
A deep darkness has settled in the city.
[00:03] Makoto/N
I tried conducting an investigation
under the cover of darkness, but...
[00:09] Makoto
Huh?
[00:10] Aqua
I was supposed to meet Lime-san at dawn,
[00:13] Aqua
but I can't even reach him telepathically.
[00:15] Aqua
The last time I heard from him, he was near
[00:17] Aqua
the part of the academy
that's being redeveloped.
[00:20] Eris
He wouldn't fight when he hasn't
been ordered to kill enemies on sight.
[00:24] Eris
Normally, he'd flee. Poof.
[00:26] Makoto
You're right. And he's too
skilled to be easily taken down.
[00:32] Shiki
Perhaps we've been deceived by Rona.
[00:36] Shiki
She'd betray us in this way
while shaking our hands.
[00:41] Makoto
In any case, we can't
make any decisions yet.
[00:46] Makoto
Let's head to where he disappeared.

[00:51] Lime
Damn it!
[00:53] Lime
They even took my precious sword.
[00:55] Lime
So... are you okay, miss?
[00:58] Eva
Yes, though you've got
some nerve asking that.
[01:01] Lime
Sorry you got dragged into this.
[01:08] (Flashback) Lime
Don't move. You don't want to die yet, do you?
[01:11] (Flashback) Luto
No, I don't.
[01:13] (Flashback) Luto
I'm hoping to enjoy this
life as much as possible.
[01:16] (Flashback) Luto
After all, I've decided to
give up on reincarnation.
[01:23] (Flashback) Luto
Well, well.
[01:24] (Flashback) Luto
That's a fine sword you've got there.
[01:27] (Flashback) Luto
It's heavily enchanted.
[01:30] Lime/Id
I-I should contact the boss.
[01:32] (Flashback) Luto
Sorry, but I'll be blocking your telepathy.
[01:37] (Flashback) Luto
I like to savor special experiences.
[01:40] Lime/Id
Just one hit!
[01:46] (Flashback) Luto
Oh, sorry. This looks like it'll be a hassle.
[01:50] (Flashback) Luto
I'm going to go a bit rough on you.
[01:56] (Flashback) Luto
I'm sure they'll be interested in that, too.
[02:00] (Flashback) Luto
If they decide to kill you,
you'll have some time before then.
[02:02] (Flashback) Luto
Good luck.
[02:09] (Flashback) Eva
Are you all right?
[02:11] (Flashback) Lime
Wh-Who are you?
[02:13] (Flashback) Eva
Quiet. We need to leave—
[02:14] Members
Who's there?
[02:15] Members
Did a test subject escape?
[02:16] (Flashback) Members
Be careful.
[02:17] (Flashback) Members
He's got a strange magic sword.
Who are they?
[02:21] Eva
I was doomed when I decided to rescue you.
[02:24] Eva
I didn't think they'd turn on me so quickly.
[02:28] Lime
You're the academy librarian.
Your name is Eva, right?
[02:34] Lime
You know Kuzunoha-sama, don't you?
[02:36] Lime
I'm Lime Latte.
[02:38] Lime
I'm an employee of the
Kuzunoha Trading Company.
[02:40] Lime
I recognize your face.
[02:42] Eva
An employee? You're lying.
[02:44] Eva
Are you perhaps a bodyguard?
[02:45] Lime
Those are basically the same thing.
[02:47] Lime
Just to confirm, you want
to escape, don't you?
[02:51] Eva
They must be a pretty powerful
organization to establish a base here.
[02:56] Eva
They have collaborators within the academy.
[02:58] Eva
I'm just a librarian.
My escape wouldn't change anything.
[03:04] Lime
I can't argue with that.
[03:06] Eva
Besides, you lost. Definitively.
[03:09] Lime
Don't worry. He's not here.
[03:12] Lime
And it's not like I didn't do anything, either.
[03:14] Eva
What does that mean?
[03:15] Lime
I left a mark on him when I struck him
so I'd know his current location.
[03:21] Eva
Even if I believe you, that doesn't
change the fact that I'm in danger.
[03:26] Eva
If you're going to rescue me,
I'd like you to do something about
[03:29] Eva
the people who have taken
root in the academy, too.
[03:32] Lime
What's in it for me?
[03:33] Eva
I can provide your master, Kuzunoha-san,
with useful information.
[03:39] Eva
And if you're able to destroy
the organization itself,
[03:43] Eva
I promise you a handsome reward.
[03:47] Lime
Fine. Kazaguruma.
[03:52] Lime
You've seen magic items before, haven't you?
[03:54] Lime
I suppose this one's unique to us, though.
[04:01] Lime
We may see something
unpleasant on the way out.
[04:04] Lime
I hope you're prepared for that.
[04:06] Eva
It won't be a problem.
[04:14] Lime
This is awful.
[04:16] Lime
Most of them are demihumans.
There are some hyumans, too.
[04:19] Lime
Looks like they don't go
after specific species.
[04:23] Eva
Kidnapping and humanoid experimentation.
[04:25] Eva
On such a large scale, no less.
[04:28] Eva
Drug and chimera experiments.
[04:30] Eva
Their goal is probably enhancing
combat and magical abilities.
[04:33] Lime/Id
I should contact the boss, but I can't
communicate telepathically right now.
[04:39] Eva
What are you doing?
[04:40] Lime
Putting them out of their misery.
[04:42] Lime
I'll destroy every last trace of these
disgusting devices and materials.
[04:48] Shiki
I sense a dragon here.
[04:52] Makoto
Huh?
[04:53] Shiki
We may not be dealing with demons after all.
[04:56] Shiki
I don't believe Rona was close to any dragons.
[04:59] Makoto
But if it's a dragon, then...
[05:01] Makoto
It could be Mitsurugi, that Lancer guy.
[05:04] Makoto
They said they were allied with demons.
[05:08] Shiki
Then this is a good opportunity.
[05:10] Shiki
They will regret drawing
your blood as they die.
[05:17] Shiki
That Lime can be useful sometimes.
[05:20] Makoto
Shiki?
[05:21] Shiki
Normally, I'd have to summon
Tomoe-dono and Mio-dono,
[05:25] Shiki
but I can claim this emergency
left me with no choice.
[05:30] Shiki
I never thought I'd get my chance.
[05:34] Shiki
Good. Very good. This is fantastic.
[05:38] Shiki
Despair is far deeper than
you realize, you fools.
[05:43] Lime
Hey, boss!
[05:44] Makoto
Oh, Lime.
[05:45] Shiki
What?!
[05:47] Lime
Boss, I'm sorry. I screwed up.
[05:50] Makoto
I'm glad you're all right.
[05:52] Makoto
Did you run into any dragons?
[05:54] Lime
Dragons? I didn't see any dragons.
[05:58] Makoto/Id
Wait, Eva-san?
[06:00] Lime
We're both healthy and whole.
[06:02] Lime
I'll report the details of
my investigation later.
[06:05] Makoto
What's Eva-san doing here?
[06:07] Shiki
Lime, why couldn't you wait a little longer?
[06:13] Lime
Huh?
[06:14] Shiki
What am I supposed to do
with this excitement now?!
[06:17] Makoto
Shiki, turn it off!
[06:19] Makoto
Smile, smile!
[06:24] Makoto/Id
Lime's Report:
[06:26] Makoto/Id
Investigation Results of the
Rotsgard Academy Redevelopment Area.
[06:31] Makoto/Id
Who is that man who treated
Lime like a child?
[06:34] Makoto/Id
Is he not connected to the organization?
[06:37] Shiki
Young Master, Eva-san
wishes to speak with you.
[06:40] Makoto
Got it.
[06:42] Makoto
Shiki, go see Rona-san.
[06:44] Makoto
Have her help you find their
collaborators in the academy.
[06:48] Shiki
Very well. I'm off to spur Rona into action.
[06:55] Eva
I wanted to speak with you regarding the
information and reward I promised Lime.
[07:01] Eva
You'll receive your reward once the
threat against me is eliminated,
[07:06] Eva
but I can share my information with you now.
[07:08] Makoto
Let's hear it.
[07:11] Eva
The individuals in the portrait you possess...
[07:15] Eva
I recognize them.
[07:19] Eva
You seemed to be looking for them.
[07:23] Makoto
Yes. I want to know the path they took.
[07:27] Eva
I thought so.
[07:29] Eva
The man was a noble who held an
important office in a certain nation,
[07:33] Eva
and the woman was a high-ranking priestess.
[07:37] Makoto/Id
My parents were a noble and a priestess?
[07:40] Eva
They were to be married in Kaleneon,
[07:44] Eva
a small satellite state of the
now ruined kingdom of Elysion.
[07:50] Eva
However, they were forced to leave the state
without ever marrying and disappeared.
[07:56] Makoto
Why were they forced to leave?
[07:58] Eva
I don't know the details.
[08:01] Eva
Most of Kaleneon's records
were lost in a major invasion.
[08:06] Makoto/Id
A major invasion?
[08:08] Makoto/Id
She's talking about the demon invasion
that took place ten years ago.
[08:11] Makoto/Id
I heard it ended in an overwhelming
victory for the demons.
[08:15] Makoto
Why do you know about those two?
[08:19] Eva
Because I'm from Kaleneon.
[08:22] Makoto
Were you there when the invasion took place?
[08:25] Eva
Yes.
[08:26] Eva
But only Luria and I escaped.
[08:29] Eva
Branded as cowards who abandoned our
nation, we've lived quietly since then.
[08:36] Eva
We're not even permitted
to speak our family names.
[08:40] Eva
Those who learn about our situation
still look coldly upon us.
[08:45] Eva
We're sometimes subject to harassment.
[08:47] Eva
Luria and I considered ending our lives,
but that wouldn't solve anything.
[08:53] Eva
Our deaths wouldn't erase that brand.
[08:56] Eva
So we decided we'd reclaim Kaleneon's lands,
[09:01] Eva
or at least the lost lands
of the Aensland family.
[09:05] Makoto/Id
But there are only two of them.
[09:09] Eva
Driven by that desire, I made
contact with that organization.
[09:14] Makoto/Id
I see. So that's how it is.
[09:17] Eva
The members of the organization
oppose the goddess.
[09:21] Eva
They share technology and knowledge with
one another, making them quite powerful.
[09:27] Eva
I was investigating them because I hoped
I could use them to reclaim Kaleneon.
[09:34] Makoto
But then you ran into Lime,
and you were captured together.
[09:39] Eva
Yes.
[09:40] Makoto
I understand the situation now.
[09:42] Makoto
I'll do everything I can to
keep you out of harm's way.
[09:46] Eva
Thank you.
[09:52] Makoto/Id
An organization that opposes the goddess...
[09:55] Makoto/Id
If they're powerful enough to
recapture territory from demons,
[09:59] Makoto/Id
they might join the war.
[10:05] Lime
Boss, it's him.
[10:06] Lime
The kid who handled me is approaching.
[10:10] Makoto
Okay. Lime, go get Shiki.
[10:12] Lime
No, I'll face him with you.
[10:15] Makoto
What?
[10:16] Makoto
Tomoe and Mio? But why?
[10:19] Tomoe
It seems you're dealing
with a difficult opponent.
[10:22] Mio
Stand back, Lime.
[10:24] Lime
You can't be serious, boss!
[10:27] Tomoe
Everyone has their role to play.
[10:30] Tomoe
You'd only get in our way.
[10:33] Makoto
Now that these two are here,
you have nothing to worry about.
[10:38] Lime
Very well.
[10:46] Luto
It's a pleasure to meet you.
[10:48] Luto
I am the guildmaster of
the adventurers' guild.
[10:51] Luto
I came to apologize for what I
did to your employee, Lime-kun.
[10:56] All
Huh?
[10:58] Luto
Which is just my excuse for coming here.
[11:00] Luto
He was pretty strong, though.
[11:06] Luto
Anyway, the reason I came here...
[11:09] Luto
Oh, right. You there.
[11:12] Luto
Could you serve some fruit
to go with this tea?
[11:17] Makoto
Mio, bring him some fruit.
[11:20] Mio
Very well. One moment, please.
[11:23] Luto
And if you have other tea leaves,
I'd like those next.
[11:31] Makoto
Guildmaster, please state your business.
[11:33] Luto
Please, Makoto-kun. Don't be so distant.
[11:38] Luto
And there's no need for you to write.
[11:40] Luto
I'm not a hyuman.
[11:42] Makoto
I don't know what you mean.
[11:45] Luto
You're cute.
[11:48] Luto
Do you think the goddess
has found out about you?
[11:53] Luto
Don't worry. She's not aware of
your current circumstances yet.
[11:58] Luto
She's been making a lot of mistakes.
[12:02] Makoto
Who are you?
[12:04] Luto
So that's what your voice
sounds like! I like it!
[12:07] Luto
I like when a man's voice
retains some youthful charm.
[12:11] Makoto
Quit joking around and answer
my question. Who are you?
[12:14] Luto
Oh, sorry. I hadn't told you my name yet.
[12:18] Luto
Allow me to introduce my—
[12:18] Tomoe
Enough of this farce, Luto,
[12:21] Tomoe
also known as Banshoku.
[12:24] Makoto
What? Him?
[12:27] Tomoe
Yes. He's a genuine greater dragon.
[12:30] Tomoe
One of the greatest, and undefeated.
[12:33] Tomoe
As his alias, "Banshoku," suggests,
Luto is the Dragon of Myriad Colors.
[12:38] Makoto
Really? This guy?
[12:40] Makoto/Id
Greater dragons are the most
powerful of all dragons.
[12:43] Makoto/Id
Mitsurugi, Bakufu, Sazanami, Akari, and
Yamatoi are the five most famous ones.
SIGN Mitsurugi
SIGN Bakufu
SIGN Sazanami
SIGN Akari
SIGN Yamatoi
[12:51] Luto
Shin, were you asleep in the wasteland for
so long that you forgot your manners?
[12:57] Luto
I'm here to talk to Makoto-kun.
[12:59] Tomoe
You won't. Don't you dare
deceive the young master.
[13:02] Tomoe
Also, I no longer go by the name Shin.
I am Tomoe now.
[13:07] Luto
Yeah, yeah.
[13:09] Luto
Sorry, Makoto-kun. I'd never deceive you.
[13:13] Luto
My intentions are genuine.
[13:16] Tomoe
You've changed quite a bit.
[13:20] Tomoe
Exactly when did you become a man?
[13:22] Makoto
Huh?
[13:24] Luto
About 300 years ago.
[13:26] Luto
After living for so long as a woman,
I finally got bored of it.
[13:30] Makoto/Id
He got bored of his sex?
[13:32] Luto
I had the opportunity to have
a relationship with a man.
[13:37] Luto
I experienced a sense of emotional
satisfaction and euphoria I'd never felt before.
[13:43] Luto
At the end of the ultimate
friendship was the ultimate love.
[13:49] Luto
Makoto-kun, you're
inexperienced, aren't you?
[13:51] Luto
Don't worry. I love people like that, too.
[13:54] Luto
Give me a day, and I'm confident
[13:56] Luto
I can captivate you with the body
of either a woman or a man.
[13:59] Makoto
No, thank you!
[14:02] Mio
What's all this noise about?
[14:05] Luto
I was just seducing Makoto-kun.
[14:08] Mio
Sedu—
[14:08] Luto
I mean, he's single, isn't he?
[14:11] Luto
There's no problem with me
expressing my interest, is there?
[14:14] Mio
Tomoe-san.
[14:15] Mio
This creature seems to be a dragon,
[14:18] Mio
but there's no problem
with us killing it, is there?
[14:20] Tomoe
Of course not.
Not even his bones will remain.
[14:23] Tomoe
Luto, if you have any last words,
I'll carve them into your gravestone.
[14:27] Mio
No, wait. The flesh of a greater
dragon could be delicious.
[14:31] Mio
I'll use every last bit of your body.
[14:35] Makoto
We've never faced a
threat like this before.
[14:37] Makoto
I'll do everything I can to assist you.
[14:39] Luto
Now, wait. I didn't come here today
to fight. I'm really just here to talk.
[14:45] Luto
Oh, right! I wanted to talk to you
about the adventurer's guild.
[14:49] Makoto
The guild?
[14:50] Both
Young Master!
[14:54] Rona
Very well. I'll help, but let
me handle the investigation.
[15:00] Rona
I won't hear any complaints
about my methods.
[15:03] Shiki
Wicked as ever, I see.
[15:07] Rona
Kuzunoha, this matter with the organization
will give me a glimpse of your power.
[15:14] Rona
After all, I've already
accomplished my original goal.
[15:19] Luto
First, I truly am the guildmaster
of the adventurers' guild.
[15:24] Luto
In fact, I founded it about
a thousand years ago.
[15:30] Makoto
What?
[15:30] Tomoe
I don't believe it.
[15:31] Luto
My first master was someone
from another world, like you.
[15:36] Luto
He introduced me to the concept.
[15:39] Luto
I suggested the idea to the goddess
and became the guild's leader.
[15:43] Makoto/Id
So the two heroes and I weren't the
first ones to come to this world.
[15:49] Luto
At the time, I actively considered
how to design the guild
[15:54] Luto
and enjoyed establishing the system.
[15:57] Luto
The guild would spread throughout the world
and help solve problems for communities.
[16:04] Luto
Guild members are given licenses
that display their level,
[16:10] Luto
but don't you think it's strange that the
sophisticated guild cards use the word "level"?
[16:15] Luto
Isn't that a concept lifted from
the video games of your world?
[16:20] Makoto
What?
[16:23] Luto
It's not typical of our world.
[16:25] Luto
It's like a skyscraper standing in the
middle of a bunch of wooden buildings,
[16:31] Luto
but the words "adventurers' guild"
are enough to convince
[16:34] Luto
someone from another
world not to question it.
[16:37] Makoto
You're right.
[16:38] Tomoe
Why did you create that system?
[16:42] Luto
To maintain this world's balance.
[16:45] Luto
Under the goddess's blessing, hyumans have
multiplied and grown arrogant for ages.
[16:51] Luto
The guild keeps them in check.
[16:53] Makoto
In check? Doesn't the guild
encourage hyuman growth?
[16:58] Luto
You're not seeing the forest for the trees.
[17:01] Luto
Establishing levels and ranks within the
guild makes everyone want to climb higher.
[17:06] Luto
I made the growth rate
increase with level, too.
[17:11] Makoto
Seeing it expressed as a
number motivates people...
[17:14] Luto
Joining the guild stirs people's ambitions.
[17:19] Luto
They long for success, and then...
[17:23] Luto
They're destroyed by the
weight of their own desires.
[17:26] Luto
The guild automatically thins
out the hyuman population.
[17:30] Makoto
Thins it out?
[17:32] Tomoe
And that's how you're preserving
the world's balance?
[17:35] Luto
That's one way.
[17:38] Luto
You can find people unhappy with the
goddess's behavior all over the place,
[17:43] Luto
not just in shady organizations.
[17:47] Luto
By the way, the highest level
in the guild is 65,535.
[17:52] Luto
I chose that number because of a passionately
romantic speech my master gave.
[17:57] Makoto/Id
Romantic? That's the highest possible
value in 16-bit computing.
[18:01] Makoto/Id
It appeared frequently in old games...
[18:05] Makoto
Luto!
[18:06] Luto
What? Do you feel like forming
a contract with me now?
[18:09] Luto
I'm delighted. I'll do anything for you.
[18:12] Luto
No need to be shy in bed—
[18:13] Makoto
No, your master.
[18:15] Makoto
How did a thousand-year-old
human know about video games?
[18:19] Luto
I can explain that, but you'd
better listen to the whole thing.
[18:24] Luto
If all of you stop listening,
I'll force myself on Makoto-kun.
[18:28] Luto
That's a promise.
[18:30] Makoto/Id
But I've got Mio's keen
intuition on my side.
SIGN SNORE
[18:35] Makoto/Id
She's already out!
[18:38] Voice
Mega!
[18:39] Luto
The tremendous energy produced by time
paradoxes resulting from time travel
[18:44] Luto
cause major problems,
but they're extremely unlikely to occur.
[18:49] Luto
For this reason, the flow of time between
this world and yours are different.
[19:01] Makoto
So, what are my odds of successfully
returning to my world?
[19:08] Luto
You didn't understand my
explanation, did you?
[19:10] Tomoe
Honestly, I didn't understand
all of it, either.
[19:17] Luto
You asked about the odds of
returning to your world, right?
[19:20] Luto
The answer is it's possible,
but very nearly impossible.
[19:25] Makoto
What does that mean?
[19:27] Luto
At your current mana level,
the teleportation itself is likely to succeed.
[19:32] Luto
But your destination would be too random.
[19:35] Luto
Optimistically, you have a one in
ten million chance of success.
[19:41] Makoto/Id
Shiki said something similar.
[19:44] Luto
For now, you should take
a look around this world.
[19:48] Luto
Now that we've exchanged greetings,
perhaps I'll take my leave.
[19:53] Tomoe
I'll see you off.
[19:54] Tomoe
There's no telling what you'll do
if you're left unaccompanied.
[19:57] Luto
My, my. You don't trust me at all.
[20:01] Luto
I'll see you later, Makoto-kun.
[20:04] Makoto/Id
A wise man once said
[20:06] Makoto/Id
one's hometown is best enjoyed
[20:07] Makoto/Id
in nostalgic song.
[20:21] Luto
So, what did you want to ask me?
[20:24] Tomoe
You noticed, then.
[20:26] Luto
Of course I did.
[20:27] Luto
Why'd you tell him you didn't
understand all of it?
[20:31] Luto
You understood every bit of it.
[20:34] Tomoe
In the young master's world...
[20:36] Tomoe
Do humans from the original world truly
die after about a hundred years?
[20:42] Luto
Yeah. In fact, it's uncommon
for them to reach a hundred.
[20:46] Tomoe
I see. That's so short... So very short.
[20:50] Luto
That can't be helped.
You just have to get used to it.
[20:54] Tomoe
The young master is everything to me now.
[20:58] Tomoe
If he died, this world that dazzles
me would lose its luster.
[21:05] Luto
You're right. There's no one from another
world I'd rather observe from his side.
[21:10] Luto
Killing others causes him no heartache,
[21:13] Luto
but nothing pains him more than
one of his allies being hurt.
[21:17] Luto
Opaque and noncommittal, his thinking
and judgment are incredibly ordinary,
[21:21] Luto
but he's chosen an extraordinary
path to follow.
[21:26] Tomoe
What do you think he will do?
[21:29] Tomoe
Will he try to return home?
[21:32] Luto
I don't know.
[21:34] Luto
I think he's a softie who
couldn't bear to abandon you,
[21:38] Luto
but a single catalyst could make him change.
[21:41] Tomoe
A catalyst?
[21:43] Luto
The other two heroes have already said
their farewells to their original world
[21:47] Luto
and are choosing new paths for themselves.
[21:50] Luto
Some catalyst could cause Makoto-kun
to somehow acquire a third option.
[21:56] Luto
Something other than "return home or don't."
[21:59] Tomoe
What option is there besides
returning home or not?
[22:06] Luto
Traveling between worlds.
[22:08] Luto
Becoming a superman who can
freely traverse both worlds.
[22:14] Luto
I'm looking forward to seeing what
catalyst awakens him to that possibility.
[22:21] Tomoe
A catalyst, huh?
[22:24] Tomoe/Id
If that would allow me to avoid a future
without the young master, then I...
[22:32] Mio
Tomoe-san.
[22:33] Mio
That pervert seems to have left.
[22:37] Tomoe
Mio, you came out here looking like that?
[22:40] Mio
Yes. Is there a problem with that?
[22:42] Tomoe
I know it's nighttime,
but I still don't approve.
[22:44] Tomoe
People will spread rumors
about the young master.
[22:47] Mio
We can simply have anyone who
sees me forget immediately.
[22:51] Mio
That's not enough to make me
shed the young master's love.
[22:56] Tomoe
What are we going to do with you?
[22:59] Mio
I could say the same about you, Tomoe-san.
[23:02] Mio
If you ever lost your mind and
tried to do something to him, I...
[23:10] Tomoe
That won't happen.
[23:13] Tomoe
But if I ever do lose my mind,
[23:16] Tomoe
return me to my senses by slapping me.
[23:19] Mio
Of course. I won't hold back.
