[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. [00:48] [SONG] Eptitle     Night Nine The Perverted Dragon [00:48] [SONG] Eptitle     Night Nine The Perverted Dragon [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.
