[00:01] Yumiella
    The day after our field lesson,
[00:03] Yumiella
    the principal gave me a warning for
    using the Monster-Calling Flute.
[00:09] Ronald
    Really? I didn't know the dark
    attribute also had healing magic.
[00:14] Yumiella
    Yes. It can regrow an arm, at least.
[00:18] Ronald
    Regrow an arm? Are you...
    speaking from experience?
[00:23] Yumiella
    Yes.
[00:25] Yumiella
    When I was a child, my arm
    was sliced off, right here.
[00:28] Ronald
    Ah...
[00:30] Yumiella
    That sure was a close call.
[00:33] Yumiella
    If that slice had been off by just a hair,
[00:34] Yumiella
    it might've been my head that got severed.
[00:37] Yumiella
    And no healing magic can regrow a head...
[00:43] Yumiella
    Can it?
[00:45] Yumiella
    Anyway, enough of my childhood stories.
[00:49] Yumiella
    How did the central nobles' lesson go?
[00:52] Ronald
    Prince Edwin and his friends
    are leveling up well, I think.
[00:58] Ronald
    The reports told me that William
    charged in as the vanguard,
[01:02] Ronald
    while His Highness and Oswald
    took out any monsters he missed.
[01:07] Ronald
    The only problem is that they killed
    all the monsters themselves.
[01:11] Ronald
    The other students can't
    gain any levels that way.
[01:15] Ronald
    All they do is lavish the
    three of them with praise.
[01:19] Yumiella
    What about Miss Alicia?
[01:21] Ronald
    Same as the other students.
    She didn't kill a single monster.
[01:26] Yumiella
    Did she seem like she wanted to do more?
[01:29] Ronald
    The written report doesn't tell me that.
[01:32] Ronald
    Even if she wanted to do more,
[01:34] Ronald
    I suppose there was just nothing
    she could do this time.
[01:38] Ronald
    Those three boys probably wanted to
    show off for the girl they like, too.
[01:42] Yumiella
    Ah...
[01:45] Ronald
    Since Miss Alicia can use light magic,
    we need her to grow stronger.
[01:51] Ronald
    I may end up asking for
    your help on that front.
[01:54] Yumiella
    I understand. You can count on me.
[01:58] Yumiella
    When he asks, I'll take her
    to a dark-type dungeon.
[02:02] Yumiella
    Alicia will have an advantage
    against all the monsters there.
[02:05] Yumiella
    She'll be thrilled!
[02:10] Alicia
    No!
[02:14] Ronald
    On another subject...
[02:16] Ronald
    We've received a request from the
    castle's magic tool development team
[02:19] Ronald
    to test the endurance of some magic tools.
[02:21] Yumiella
    I'll do it.
[02:23] Yumiella
    Magic tools are items that
    have been imbued with magic.
[02:28] Yumiella
    Aside from things like armor and weapons,
[02:30] Yumiella
    they also include my favorite items, the
    Amulet of Growth and Monster-Calling Flute.
[02:36] Ronald
    This is what they want us to test.
[02:39] Ronald
    They want to use it to make armor.
[02:41] Ronald
    It's passed Knight Captain
    Adolf's endurance test,
[02:44] Ronald
    but they want to know how
    it fares against stronger—
[02:47] Yumiella
    Uh.
[02:56] Ronald
    Can you describe how much strength that took?
[02:58] Yumiella
    I'll be more careful to take
    note of that next time.
[03:03] Yumiella
    This might be good practice for
    controlling how much strength I use.
[03:07] Ronald
    I can't even budge it.

[04:52] Patrick
    Yumiella!
[04:54] Yumiella
    Master Patrick.
[04:56] Patrick
    Did the principal want to see you
    about yesterday's field lesson?
[05:01] Yumiella
    Yes. He scolded me for using
    the Monster-Calling Flute.
[05:05] Patrick
    Well, that's to be expected.
[05:07] Beth
    Patrick!
[05:09] Beth
    Can you come to the classroom for a minute?
[05:11] Beth
    Everyone wants you to take command
    during the next field lesson.
[05:15] Patrick
    Sure.
[05:16] Patrick
    Well, see you later.
[05:20] Yumiella
    They really trust him.
[05:24] Yumiella
    My life of solitude has changed a
    bit since the field lesson ended.
[05:30] Yumiella
    Patrick comes by to talk
    to me every now and then.
[05:34] Sword Teacher
    Now, we're going to do
    some practical exercises.
[05:36] Sword Teacher
    Everyone, pair up.
[05:44] Patrick
    Yumiella.
[05:47] Patrick
    If you don't have anyone to
    pair up with, how about me?
[05:50] Yumiella
    Are you sure?
[05:52] Patrick
    What do you mean?
[05:55] Yumiella
    You must have plenty of friends
    who want to pair up with you.
[05:59] Patrick
    Don't worry about them.
    I owe you one, remember?
[06:02] Yumiella
    You mean because I healed you?
[06:05] Yumiella
    Please, don't worry about that.
[06:07] Yumiella
    If I hadn't been there, you could
    have used a potion to heal yourself.
[06:11] Patrick
    Really? I guess I'll pair
    up with someone else, then.
[06:14] Yumiella
    Uh, actually, please do worry about it.
[06:17] Yumiella
    I'm the one who healed your injury.
[06:21] Patrick
    You're also the one who caused it, you know.
[06:27] Yumiella
    He might be the closest thing to a friend
    I've found since I reincarnated here.
[06:34] Yumiella
    It must be his natural virtue that made
    everyone else follow his orders, too.
[06:39] Yumiella
    That and, for some reason, his
    voice seems to carry really well.
[06:45] Patrick
    Let's do this!
[06:48] Yumiella
    Patrick's swordsmanship is beautiful.
[06:50] Yumiella
    Nothing like me and my reliance
    on sheer power and reflexes.
[07:01] Beth
    Patrick!
[07:05] Patrick
    Ow...
[07:07] Yumiella
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[07:09] Yumiella
    I'll heal you right now.
[07:17] Patrick
    Th-Thanks. I'm okay.
[07:22] Yumiella
    I'm sorry. Thank you for pairing up with me.
[07:26] Patrick
    Nah, I should apologize to you.
[07:29] Patrick
    Maybe I'm not a worthy partner for you.
[07:32] Yumiella
    No, I don't think that's true.
[07:34] Yumiella
    I could learn a great deal
    from your sword skills.
[07:37] Patrick
    You want to get even stronger
    by learning how to use a sword?
[07:42] Patrick
    Just what are you thinking about fighting?
[07:44] Yumiella
    Um... the Demon Lord, I suppose?
[07:48] Patrick
    The Demon Lord?
[07:50] Patrick
    So the rumors about him coming
    back in two years are true?
[07:53] Patrick
    Did you hear something
    about it from the king?
[07:55] Yumiella
    No, nothing.
[07:57] Yumiella
    I lied. Yes, I have heard about it.
[07:59] Yumiella
    Either Prince Edwin was just making things up
[08:03] Yumiella
    or the king is hiding something, I suppose.
[08:06] Patrick
    I could easily believe either of those.
[08:09] Yumiella
    There have been so many unsavory
    rumors about Prince Edwin lately
[08:12] Yumiella
    that if I said his claims about
    the Demon Lord's return weren't true,
[08:14] Yumiella
    it would be difficult to prove I was lying.
[08:18] Yumiella
    And since he's been flirting
    with Alicia all over the place,
[08:21] Yumiella
    his popularity's dropping.
[08:23] Yumiella
    Many are already saying his
    claims about the Demon Lord
[08:26] Yumiella
    are a nasty joke or just made up.
[08:29] Yumiella
    On the other hand, the rumor that I'm
    the Demon Lord hasn't died out, either.
[08:34] Yumiella
    It may have even been revived after
    what happened during the field lesson.
[08:38] Yumiella
    You don't think I'm the
    Demon Lord, Master Patrick?
[08:42] Patrick
    If you were the Demon Lord, the world
    would've been wiped out by now.
[08:47] Yumiella
    True.
[08:48] Patrick
    Of course, I'm just joking,
[08:51] Patrick
    but it bugs me that your black hair is
    one of the reasons people believe it.
[08:57] Patrick
    When I was little,
[08:59] Patrick
    my hair was almost black,
    and it always bothered me.
[09:02] Patrick
    It started when a relative
    said my hair looked blackish.
[09:06] Patrick
    My family said I didn't
    need to worry about it,
[09:09] Patrick
    but I hated my hair after that.
[09:13] Yumiella
    I think it looks whitish, personally.
[09:16] Patrick
    Whitish?
[09:18] Patrick
    Compared to yours, yeah, I guess it would.
[09:22] Patrick
    But that's why I admire the way you
    wear your black hair so confidently.
[09:28] Patrick
    I promise I'll never look down on you or
    dislike you because of your hair color.
[09:34] Yumiella
    Th-Thank you.
[09:38] Yumiella
    I think your gray hair is quite lovely.
[09:42] Patrick
    Thanks.
[09:43] Patrick
    I think your black hair's pretty, too.
[09:49] Yumiella
    Um, shall we have another match?
[09:52] Patrick
    Sure, I'd love to.
[09:55] Patrick
    Let's do this!
[10:04] Yumiella
    I'm sorry!
[10:05] Yumiella
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[10:12] Patrick
    I'm fine. It doesn't hurt anymore.
[10:16] Patrick
    I realized it before, but... your
    healing magic feels pretty nice.
[10:19] Yumiella
    It looks disgusting, though.
[10:23] Patrick
    You're amazing, Yumiella. You use
    dark magic with such confidence.
[10:27] Yumiella
    I just got lucky.
[10:29] Yumiella
    Magic affinity is just
    something we're born with.
[10:33] Patrick
    It's not just that.
[10:35] Patrick
    Even if I could use dark magic,
[10:37] Patrick
    I'd probably just try to keep it hidden.
[10:41] Patrick
    Just like with your hair,
    you don't deny who you are.
[10:46] Patrick
    I think that's something not
    many people can pull off.
[10:50] Yumiella
    Thank you...
[10:58] Yumiella
    Looking back now, I never
    gave much thought to Yumiella
[11:02] Yumiella
    as a character in the game.
[11:05] (Flashback) Patrick
    Even if I could use dark magic,
[11:08] (Flashback) Patrick
    I'd probably just try to keep it hidden.
[11:12] Yumiella
    Was the Yumiella in the game
    born with her dark magic, too?
SIGN    Yumiella
SIGN    (I've fallen to the darkness...)
[11:19] Yumiella
    The game's explanation was that
    Yumiella obtained her dark magic
[11:23] Yumiella
    because she gave in to the darkness,
SIGN    Yumiella
SIGN    (It seemed as though that deep darkness was
    calling to me.)
[11:26] Yumiella
    but none of the story scenes
    were clear about it.
[11:30] Yumiella
    Maybe the truth is actually different.
SIGN    Yumiella
SIGN    Dark magic? What are you talking about?
[11:33] Yumiella
    It's just a theory,
[11:34] Yumiella
    but what if the game's Yumiella
    could use dark magic all along,
[11:38] Yumiella
    and she just kept it hidden from everyone?
SIGN    Edwin
SIGN    Alicia, that light magic you used was amazing!
[11:42] Yumiella
    She must have really hated the heroine,
[11:44] Yumiella
    who used light magic with total confidence
[11:47] Yumiella
    and was loved by everyone.
[11:50] Yumiella
    I guess there's no point
    in thinking about it.
[11:53] Yumiella
    This world is just this
    world. It's not the game.
[12:01] Yumiella
    A few days later,
[12:03] Yumiella
    we had our second field lesson.
[12:10] Patrick
    I'm sure you know this by now,
[12:11] Patrick
    but don't you dare use your
    Monster-Calling Flute again.
[12:15] Yumiella
    I won't. The principal
    yelled at me about it, too.
[12:19] Patrick
    And no burning down the forest
    just because you're bored, either.
[12:23] Yumiella
    I know.
[12:24] Yumiella
    Today, I'm the battlefield medic.
[12:28] Patrick
    It's a lesson, not a war...
[12:36] Magic Teacher
    The monsters you face today are of
    a different type than the last ones.
[12:39] Magic Teacher
    Be careful not to let your
    guard down at any time.
[12:44] Yumiella
    So bored...
[12:46] Yumiella
    Dark Bind.
[12:49] Yumiella
    Rock, paper, scissors.
[12:51] Yumiella
    Rock, paper, scissors.
[12:55] Yumiella
    I'm a supervisor... a supervisor...
[13:00] Yumiella
    It looks like they're steadily
    getting good results,
[13:04] Yumiella
    but the atmosphere feels much
    more lax than last time.
[13:07] Yumiella
    Times like these are when
    the danger is greatest.
[13:11] Yumiella
    Yes, I'm coming to heal you.
[13:13] Magic Teacher
    You don't need to do that, Miss Yumiella...
[13:16] Yumiella
    Well, I had nothing else to do.
[13:19] Yumiella
    Would you like a potion or healing magic?
[13:22] Miles/Diva/Cede
    Potion, please!
[13:25] Yumiella
    But if I heal you with magic, there's
    no need to waste potions, is there?
[13:30] Miles
    Why even ask us, then?
[13:32] Yumiella
    I'll heal you.
[13:39] Yumiella
    Everything's fine. You're as good as new.
[13:45] Yumiella
    Funny... Healers are
    usually pretty popular...
[13:50] Magic Teacher
    Okay, we're going to take a break for a bit.
[13:55] Yumiella
    This lax attitude they all
    have is definitely a problem.
[13:58] Yumiella
    When you're trying to raise your level,
[14:01] Yumiella
    you need to be right on
    the brink at all times.
[14:04] Yumiella
    Which means...
[14:07] Patrick
    I told you not to use this.
[14:09] Patrick
    You shouldn't have even brought
    it. It's too dangerous.
[14:13] Yumiella
    The current scenario is more dangerous.
[14:15] Yumiella
    Isn't it important to feel
    some degree of urgency?
[14:18] Yumiella
    And I believe all of these students
    are skilled enough to handle it.
[14:22] Yumiella
    The difficulty of the lesson should be
    raised in proportion to their levels.
[14:26] Patrick
    You have a point, but...
[14:28] Yumiella
    We could even send each one of
    them into their own dungeon.
[14:31] Patrick
    That's the one thing we can't do!
[14:34] Patrick
    You'd have to be crazy to
    go into a dungeon alone!
[14:37] Yumiella
    Are you denying my entire past?
[14:39] Patrick
    Uh, no, I didn't mean to...
[14:42] Yumiella
    The method we're using now
    is too inefficient, anyway.
[14:45] Yumiella
    Making people kill low-level
    monsters in groups is wasteful.
[14:50] Yumiella
    Couldn't they face monsters
    of a slightly higher level?
[14:53] Yumiella
    Even you said the lesson was
    too inefficient last time.
[14:57] Patrick
    Yeah, but...
[14:59] Yumiella
    Even if I don't use the flute,
[15:01] Yumiella
    I'd be fine with it if everyone
    would just take this more seriously.
[15:06] Yumiella
    I know!
[15:07] Yumiella
    A different method would be fine, right?
[15:09] Yumiella
    What if I injured everyone with
    my magic and then healed them?
[15:14] Yumiella
    Knowing how much an injury hurts
    should tighten their focus more.
[15:20] Yumiella
    Oh, don't worry. I'm pretty sure I
    can hurt them without killing them.
[15:24] Patrick
    Do you hear yourself?!
[15:26] Yumiella
    The flute or an injury? Choose one.
[15:29] Students
    Flute, please...
[15:30] Yumiella
    That settles it. It's okay, right, Patrick?
[15:40] Patrick
    Assume formation! Prepare to engage!
[15:43] Yumiella
    Oh, shoot. I forgot to be polite.
[15:47] Yumiella
    And I just called him "Patrick"...
[15:51] Patrick
    Don't break formation! Stay calm!
[15:54] Yumiella
    I always get a little overzealous
    when it comes to leveling up.
[15:58] Yumiella
    I'm a count's daughter,
[16:00] Yumiella
    and Patrick is a margrave's son.
[16:03] Yumiella
    He ranks higher than me, and I...
[16:06] Yumiella
    If I draw the ire of the Ashbatten family,
[16:09] Yumiella
    the entire Dolkness family's
    reputation as nobility will drop.
[16:13] Yumiella
    I guess that's no problem.
    My family's problematic as it is.
[16:18] Yumiella
    But...
[16:19] Yumiella
    The idea of Patrick hating me...
    might make me a little sad...
[16:26] Patrick
    Maintain formation!
[16:28] Patrick
    Just do this the way you've
    practiced, and you can win!
[16:32] Yumiella
    Is he using wind magic
    to make his voice carry?
[16:36] Patrick
    Now! Rear guard, attack with magic!
[16:42] Yumiella
    So it's magic that makes his
    voice resonate like that.
[16:47] Yumiella
    And he's using earth magic to keep
    his feet planted at the same time.
[16:51] Yumiella
    That's something I could never do myself.
[16:54] Yumiella
    Patrick might be a genius when
    it comes to group combat.
[16:58] Yumiella
    How should I interact with him after this?
[17:06] Patrick
    Looks like things have calmed down.
[17:08] Yumiella
    Good work.
[17:10] Beth
    Patrick! Thanks so much!
[17:12] Alice
    You were so dashing, Master Ashbatten!
[17:13] Becky
    You saved us again!
[17:24] Yumiella
    I returned to the academy without exchanging
    any further words with Patrick.
[17:30] Yumiella
    Even if he does end up hating
    me and stops talking to me,
[17:35] Yumiella
    if I just think of it as going back to
    how things where when school started,
[17:39] Yumiella
    it's nothing I need to
    stress over too much...
[17:42] Yumiella
    Or it shouldn't be...
[17:43] Alicia
    Miss Yumiella!
[17:47] Yumiella
    Yes? What is it, Miss Alicia?
[17:50] Alicia
    Um...
[17:53] Alicia
    I'm sorry for just assuming you
    were the Demon Lord the other day.
[17:59] Alicia
    I know I caused trouble for you
    by carelessly blurting that out.
[18:04] Yumiella
    Just standing in front of me
    now must be terrifying for her.
[18:08] Yumiella
    Yet she still came to apologize...
[18:11] Yumiella
    She really is a nice girl.
[18:14] Edwin
    Stay away from Alicia!
[18:17] Edwin
    I heard what you did during the field lesson.
[18:21] Edwin
    You used a Monster-Calling Flute
[18:23] Edwin
    to force the students to fight
    a whole horde of monsters.
[18:27] Edwin
    Were you trying to kill someone
    and make it look like an accident?
[18:30] Alicia
    H-Huh?!
[18:32] Yumiella
    Sounds like he heard an exaggerated
    version of the story.
[18:35] Edwin
    Or was it a plot to injure students
    and then heal them, as if it were a favor,
[18:40] Edwin
    to make yourself more popular?
[18:43] Edwin
    You might not be the Demon Lord,
[18:46] Edwin
    but you're still a danger
    to the Kingdom of Valschein.
[18:50] Edwin
    Don't forget that I'll have my eye on
    you as long as you're at this academy.
[18:50] Yumiella
    I suppose I really am a maverick in
    this academy... no, in this world.
[18:55] Edwin
    If you endanger the students again...
[18:57] Yumiella
    Is it even necessary to go
    through all this to stay here?
[19:00] Yumiella
    I don't even have any friends.
[19:03] Yumiella
    But even if I run away from this academy,
[19:07] Yumiella
    is there a place for me
    anywhere else in this world?
[19:12] Patrick
    Please wait a moment, Your Highness!
[19:17] Edwin
    Patrick Ashbatten?
[19:20] Patrick
    It's true that Yumiella used
    a Monster-Calling Flute.
[19:23] Patrick
    But she did it to make the students
    take the lesson seriously.
[19:27] Patrick
    She wasn't in the wrong...
    Well, maybe she was, but...
[19:32] Yumiella
    Truth.
[19:33] Patrick
    But her methods are relatively
    popular among the regional nobles!
[19:40] Patrick
    Her method truly is the most
    efficient for leveling up.
[19:43] Patrick
    And she didn't violate any
    school rules or kingdom laws.
[19:47] Patrick
    I would like you to stay out of this matter.
[19:58] Edwin
    I'll back down for now.
[20:00] Edwin
    Let's go, Alicia.
[20:10] Yumiella
    Something tells me he's furious.
[20:15] Patrick
    That must've been really rough for you.
[20:17] Yumiella
    Huh? Uh... Th-Thank you...
[20:20] Yumiella
    Um, are you sure it was wise
    to say that to the prince?
[20:24] Patrick
    Well, I'm still the son of a margrave.
[20:27] Patrick
    Being detested by the second
    prince is nothing to me.
[20:31] Yumiella
    Also... are you angry?
[20:34] Patrick
    I'm not so much angry as exasperated.
[20:37] Patrick
    Maybe he just lacks awareness
    of his own royal standing.
[20:41] Yumiella
    Uh, I wasn't talking about Edwin.
[20:44] Yumiella
    Um... I'm sorry.
[20:46] Yumiella
    I know I got a bit excited, but I spoke
    too casually to you during the lesson.
[20:51] Patrick
    Huh? That's what you were worried about?
[20:54] Patrick
    It's not like I'm some
    big-headed central noble.
[20:56] Patrick
    It doesn't bother me. Talk to me
    however you feel the most comfortable.
[21:00] Yumiella
    That's it?
[21:02] Yumiella
    But the hierarchy is supposed to
    be very important in noble society.
[21:06] Yumiella
    Is it really all right to
    just wrap it up like that?
[21:09] Patrick
    I don't care much for formalities.
[21:12] Patrick
    There are way too many other things
    you should be more worried about.
[21:16] Yumiella
    I do agree there.
[21:18] Yumiella
    Oh, right. Did you want
    to see me for something?
[21:21] Patrick
    Yeah. You seemed a bit down after
    the field lesson, so I was worried.
[21:27] Patrick
    Did something happen?
[21:29] Yumiella
    I was just having a little
    bit of depression time.
[21:32] Yumiella
    I'm fine now.
[21:33] Patrick
    Okay, then. Glad to hear it.
[21:37] Patrick
    Ready to go back to class?
[21:39] Yumiella
    Master Patrick...
[21:41] Patrick
    Just "Patrick" is fine.
[21:43] Yumiella
    Patrick...
[21:46] Yumiella
    Thanks.
[21:50] Patrick
    It's unusual to see you smile like that.
[21:53] Yumiella
    Was I smiling?
[21:57] Patrick
    Let's go.
[21:58] Yumiella
    Sure.
[21:59] Yumiella
    I think I'd like to be
    friends with him, if I can.
[22:04] Yumiella
    But I'm sure that'd be asking too much.
