**[00:01] Patrick**
*Before the spring recess,*
**[00:03] Patrick**
* I tried to invite Yumiella*
* to the margrave's domain...*
**[00:07] Patrick**
Yumiella, do you have any
plans for the break?
**[00:11] Patrick**
If you don't... um...
**[00:13] Yumiella**
Oh, I have somewhere I need to go.
**[00:16] Patrick**
Y-You do? A vacation?
**[00:19] Yumiella**
Something like that.
You're going back home, right?
**[00:23] Patrick**
Y-Yeah. Since I stayed here
through the summer and all.
**[00:27] Patrick**
So, if it's okay with you, well...
**[00:29] Yumiella**
I see. So the next time we meet
will be during the new term.
**[00:33] Patrick**
I guess so...
**[00:35] Patrick**
* ...and I never actually got*
* a chance to invite her.*
**[00:38] Patrick**
* During the recess, I went into*
* dungeons every day to train...*
**[00:44] Patrick**
*and train...*
**[00:46] Patrick**
*and train!*
**[00:52] Patrick**
*Spring already...*
**[00:56] Patrick**
*And now, it's the first day of the new term...*
**[01:00] Patrick**
*the start of our second year.*
**[01:02] Patrick**
* And in the auditorium, before*
* the opening ceremony,*
**[01:05] Patrick**
*I saw all of my classmates again...*
**[01:09] Patrick**
*and one of them was holding some weird egg.*
**[01:13] Patrick**
Yumiella, good to see you again.
**[01:15] Yumiella**
Patrick. Same to you.
**[01:17] Patrick**
Sorry to make this the first
thing I ask you, but...
**[01:20] Patrick**
What's with the egg?
**[01:23] Yumiella**
It's my child.
**[01:24] Patrick**
Huh?
**[01:26] Patrick**
What?!

**[02:59] Yumiella**
*Before the long spring recess,*
**[03:02] Yumiella**
*a certain girl from school sought my advice.*
**[03:05] (Flashback) Jessica**
M-Miss Yumiella, I was
hoping to talk to you...
**[03:09] (Flashback) Yumiella**
About what?
**[03:10] (Flashback) Jessica**
W-Well, you see...
**[03:12] Yumiella**
*Her name is Jessica Monford.*
***SIGN*** Jessica
***SIGN*** Will you go shopping with me sometime?
**[03:15] Yumiella**
* In the game, she becomes*
* Alicia's closest friend,*
**[03:18] Yumiella**
* but as of right now,*
* they don't seem all that close.*
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** Sure, Jessica. I wanted to buy
ingredients to make sweets, anyway.
**[03:21] Yumiella**
* That's probably because I've*
* changed how the story goes.*
**[03:26] (Flashback) Jessica**
The thing is... I have a favor to ask!
**[03:31] (Flashback) Jessica**
A dragon has taken up residence on a mountain
**[03:33] (Flashback) Jessica**
in the Monford domain, my family's land.
**[03:36] (Flashback) Jessica**
Fortunately, it hasn't taken any lives yet,
**[03:39] (Flashback) Jessica**
but if nothing is done,
it's just a matter of time.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Jessica**
The local soldiers are nowhere
near capable of fighting a dragon,
**[03:45] (Flashback) Jessica**
and if we wait for the military to arrive,
**[03:47] (Flashback) Jessica**
there's no telling how long it'll take.
**[03:51] (Flashback) Jessica**
I thought maybe you could
do something about it...
**[03:54] (Flashback) Yumiella**
I understand.
**[03:57] Yumiella**
* Frankly, when Jessica asked me*
* to do this, I was surprised.*
**[04:01] Yumiella**
*I wasn't expecting this event to hit me.*
**[04:05] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Let's go slay the dragon.
**[04:13] (Flashback) Yumiella**
So it's a red dragon...
**[04:15] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Which means its attribute would be fire.
**[04:18] (Flashback) Jessica**
Y-Yes. That's what my
father said in his letter.
**[04:22] Yumiella**
*Okay. Just like in the game.*
**[04:26] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Thank you for inviting me here.
**[04:29] (Flashback) Yumiella**
I'm Yumiella Dolkness.
**[04:31] (Flashback) Jessica's Dad**
Thank you so much for coming.
**[04:33] (Flashback) Jessica's Dad**
Jessica said in her letter that
you were like a Demon Lord.
**[04:37] (Flashback) Jessica**
I didn't say she was like a Demon Lord!
**[04:39] (Flashback) Jessica**
I said she was strong enough
to *defeat* the Demon Lord!
**[04:43] (Flashback) Jessica**
Miss Yumiella is level 99, you know!
**[04:46] (Flashback) Jessica's Dad**
Level 99? A little lady like her?
**[04:51] Yumiella**
*Wow, I haven't experienced this in a while.*
***SIGN*** The Hidden Boss Meets a Dragon
**[05:03] (Flashback) SoldierA**
Hey, why do we have to do
what a little rich girl says?
**[05:08] (Flashback) SoldierB**
What choice do we have?
It's Baron Monford's orders.
**[05:12] Yumiella**
*I can hear you. My ears are level 99, too.*
**[05:21] (Flashback) SoldierA**
Is something the matter?
**[05:23] (Flashback) SoldierB**
If you're tired, we can rest.
**[05:25] (Flashback) Yumiella**
It's here.
**[05:26] (Flashback) SoldierAB**
Huh?
**[05:34] (Flashback) SoldierAB**
There it is!
**[05:41] (Flashback) SoldierA**
Miss, you must run, too! Hurry!
**[05:43] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Stay there and don't move.
**[05:54] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Black Hole.
**[06:11] (Flashback) SoldierA**
Sh-She did it!
**[06:12] (Flashback) SoldierB**
And in one attack... Wow...
**[06:15] (Flashback) Yumiella**
It's not over yet.
**[06:18] Yumiella**
*I know because I played the game.*
**[06:21] Yumiella**
* There's not one dragon*
* on this mountain, there's two.*
**[06:24] Yumiella**
* So if they focus only on*
* countering the fire one,*
**[06:27] Yumiella**
* they'll be taken out by the other, a*
* green dragon whose attribute is wind.*
**[06:31] Yumiella**
*The whole event's a trap.*
**[06:41] (Flashback) SoldierA**
Look out!
**[06:43] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Shadow Lance.
**[06:52] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Now...
**[06:54] Yumiella**
*There's one more thing I need to do.*
**[07:03] Yumiella**
*It's those dragons' egg.*
**[07:07] Patrick**
Huh? Your... child?
**[07:10] Yumiella**
Yes. I laid it.
**[07:12] Patrick**
Y-You and who?!
**[07:14] Yumiella**
It was a joke.
**[07:15] Patrick**
Oh... A joke.
**[07:18] Yumiella**
*Does he think I could lay an egg?*
**[07:23] Yumiella**
It's a dragon egg.
**[07:25] Yumiella**
Some things happened during the recess.
**[07:27] Patrick**
Most people don't get a dragon
egg by doing "some things."
**[07:31] Patrick**
Are you going to hatch it?
**[07:33] Yumiella**
That's the plan.
**[07:34] Yumiella**
I got permission from the
king and the principal.
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** The egg is shining gold!
**[07:39] Yumiella**
*In the game, Alicia's magic causes the egg*
**[07:42] Yumiella**
*to hatch into a light-attribute dragon,*
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** (The light dragon rose into the sky,
carrying us on its back.)
**[07:44] Yumiella**
* and it grows big enough to*
* carry the party on its back.*
**[07:48] Yumiella**
* The whole point of the dragon-slaying*
* event was to give them a means of travel.*
**[07:53] Yumiella**
* Of course, the goal is to help*
* people who are in trouble,*
**[07:58] Yumiella**
*but the event's reward was too enticing.*
**[08:00] Yumiella**
* It could help me flee the*
* kingdom if I ever wanted to.*
**[08:05] Yumiella**
* Also, calling it my child*
* wasn't entirely wrong.*
**[08:10] Yumiella**
* Dragons hatch their eggs by*
* filling them with their magic.*
**[08:14] Yumiella**
*The more magic they give it,*
**[08:16] Yumiella**
*the stronger the hatchling will be.*
**[08:19] Yumiella**
*And when it hatches,*
**[08:20] Yumiella**
* it recognizes the one who*
* gave it magic as its parent.*
**[08:24] Yumiella**
* Even if that parent is*
* of a different species.*
**[08:28] Yumiella**
I spent the entire recess giving it magic.
**[08:33] Yumiella**
*And as that went on, I became attached to it.*
**[08:37] Yumiella**
* At first, I only thought of it as a way*
* to get my hands on a convenient taxi...*
**[08:42] Yumiella**
* But since it's going to*
* be born with my magic,*
**[08:44] Yumiella**
*it might as well be my baby.*
**[08:52] Alicia**
There's two of them!
**[08:56] Patrick**
It looks so sinister.
**[08:58] Patrick**
And that's putting it lightly.
**[09:00] Yumiella**
Don't say mean things about my baby.
**[09:03] Yumiella**
Look how lovable it is!
**[09:05] Patrick**
Lovable?
**[09:07] Yumiella**
Yes. It's going to be the
cutest dragon in the world.
**[09:11] Patrick**
Oh... So you're not trying to bring the
strongest dragon ever into the world?
**[09:17] Yumiella**
It's my baby. Of course it'll
be the strongest dragon ever.
**[09:21] Patrick**
Okay, I get it. I'll be praying
that it hatches safely.
**[09:27] Yumiella**
*Did I say something really crazy?*
**[09:34] Yumiella**
*It's a sign that the egg's about to hatch!*
**[09:37] Yumiella**
Patrick, come with me!
**[09:41] Rita**
Welcome, Master Ashbatten.
**[09:44] Yumiella**
Come in. This is your first
time coming here, isn't it?
**[09:48] Patrick**
H-Here I am...
**[09:50] Yumiella**
* Wait, is he embarrassed*
* to be in a girl's room?*
**[09:59] Yumiella**
It moved again!
**[10:01] Rita**
Is that egg... really going to hatch?
**[10:05] Yumiella**
Of course.
**[10:08] Yumiella**
Is it time yet? Is it time yet?
**[10:10] Yumiella**
I can tell by how it's moving
that it'll be adorable!
**[10:18] Yumiella**
Patrick! Look, look!
**[10:19] Patrick**
Ow, ow, ow! My arm! My arm!
**[10:22] Yumiella**
Come on! You can do it!
**[10:29] Yumiella**
Yes! It's happening, Patrick!
**[10:30] Patrick**
Quit grabbing my arm!
**[10:34] Yumiella**
Keep it up! Patrick, you cheer it on, too!
**[10:37] Patrick**
You can do it...
**[10:38] Yumiella**
Louder!
**[10:40] Patrick**
You can do it! You can do it!
**[10:41] Yumiella**
You can do it! You can do it!
**[10:54] Patrick**
I know you were expecting
a really cute dragon...
**[10:58] Patrick**
But I think being scary—er,
cool—is good, too.
**[11:02] Yumiella**
How cute...
**[11:03] Patrick**
Huh?
**[11:04] Yumiella**
How is it so adorable?
**[11:06] Patrick**
Eh?
**[11:08] Yumiella**
*It has such a sublime look.*
**[11:11] Yumiella**
* And its black body proves that it*
* absorbed plenty of my dark magic.*
**[11:18] Yumiella**
* The apple really didn't*
* fall far from the tree.*
**[11:23] Patrick**
If you think it's cute,
that's fine, I guess...
**[11:28] Yumiella**
It's purring like a cat.
**[11:31] Patrick**
Sounds more like it's growling.
**[11:33] Yumiella**
What should I name it?
**[11:35] Yumiella**
A dragon... "ryu"...
**[11:37] Patrick**
Why don't you just call it "Ryu"?
**[11:40] Yumiella**
Huh? No, "ryu" actually means...
**[11:43] Yumiella**
* Oh, right. They don't have*
* that word in this world,*
**[11:47] Yumiella**
*so it must sound like a name.*
**[11:49] Yumiella**
It does have a nice ring to it. I like it.
**[11:52] Yumiella**
Ryu.
**[11:54] Yumiella**
Your name is Ryu.
**[11:58] Yumiella**
Ryu, don't release your breath indoors.
**[12:06] Yumiella**
Don't do that, either.
**[12:10] Yumiella**
Patrick, I need to put Ryu to
bed, so that's all for today.
**[12:15] Patrick**
You're going to keep a dragon in here?!
**[12:17] Yumiella**
Of course. It'll sleep in my
bed with me until it's too big.
**[12:21] Patrick**
I see... Well, if anyone can handle
it, you can, but try not to die. Bye!
**[12:25] Rita**
I-I must take my leave, as well.
**[12:31] Yumiella**
Maybe Patrick and Rita just
don't care much for animals.
**[12:38] Yumiella**
You're so cute!
**[12:42] Yumiella**
Goodnight, Ryu.
**[12:53] Yumiella**
What's wrong, Rita?
**[12:57] Yumiella**
*They do say kids grow up quickly,*
**[13:00] Yumiella**
*but* this *quickly?*
**[13:02] Yumiella**
*How am I going to get him out of my room?*
**[13:06] Yumiella**
Come on, Ryu, this way. It's not scary.
**[13:10] Yumiella**
Come, Ryu.
**[13:19] Yumiella**
Good job, Ryu. You did it.
**[13:22] Yumiella**
I need to find you a place to live.
It should be close to my room...
**[13:29] Alice**
Wh-What is that?!
**[13:31] Yumiella**
What? What happened?
**[13:34] Beth**
A dragon! There's a dragon here!
**[13:36] Yumiella**
A dragon? One showed up here, too?
**[13:39] Patrick**
Whoa...
**[13:41] Patrick**
Dragons grow that much overnight?
**[13:44] Yumiella**
Patrick, it sounds like a dragon's shown up,
**[13:47] Yumiella**
but I can't find any trace of it.
**[13:49] Patrick**
Uh, it's right behind you.
**[13:50] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[13:51] Yumiella**
Oh, all that fuss was over Ryu?
**[13:54] Patrick**
You should expect a fuss.
**[13:56] Yumiella**
Well, he *is* cute.
**[13:58] Yumiella**
He might be the most popular
guy at school soon.
**[14:01] Patrick**
Huh?
**[14:02] Yumiella**
Ryu, want to go play with everyone?
**[14:13] Yumiella**
Why?
**[14:13] Patrick**
Stop him, Yumiella! Get Ryu back here!
**[14:17] Yumiella**
Ryu, come on back.
**[14:22] Yumiella**
* There are people out there*
* who don't like animals.*
**[14:25] Yumiella**
*I have to accept and respect that.*
**[14:29] Yumiella**
You like Ryu, don't you, Patrick?
**[14:31] Patrick**
Uh...
**[14:32] Patrick**
Cuteness aside, I do think
he's a very clever dragon.
**[14:36] Patrick**
But it's dangerous to let
him play with normal people.
**[14:44] Yumiella**
* Oh, I love it! I wish*
* he'd do that to me, too!*
**[14:49] Yumiella**
Ryu, that's enough.
**[14:54] Yumiella**
Are you okay? Does stuff like
animal drool bother you?
**[14:59] Patrick**
I'll consider myself lucky just to be alive.
**[15:02] Edwin**
I-Is this your doing, too?!
**[15:05] Yumiella**
His name is Ryu. I've received
permission to raise him.
**[15:09] Edwin**
Be serious!
**[15:10] Edwin**
You can't keep a monster
this dangerous at school!
**[15:13] Edwin**
Get rid of—
**[15:15] Patrick**
Your Highness!
**[15:17] Alicia**
Ed!
**[15:20] Alicia**
Ed!
**[15:21] Yumiella**
Ryu, stop that.
**[15:22] Alicia**
Ed! Ed!
**[15:23] Yumiella**
Don't get so comfortable with
people you've never met.
**[15:28] Alicia**
Ed, hang in there!
**[15:31] Edwin**
I'll see that you pay for this humiliation!
**[15:34] Alicia**
Ed, are you okay?
**[15:36] Edwin**
Yeah... Sorry, Alicia.
**[15:39] Yumiella**
I guess he doesn't like animals, either.
**[15:41] Patrick**
I don't think that's the problem.
**[15:44] Eleonora**
Oh, my!
**[15:46] Eleonora**
Who's this adorable little guy?
**[15:49] Yumiella**
*Ooh! Eleonora likes animals!*
**[15:52] Yumiella**
*That's surprising!*
**[15:54] Yumiella**
His name is Ryu.
**[15:55] Yumiella**
He is cute, isn't he?
**[15:59] Eleonora**
May I touch him?
**[16:00] Yumiella**
Yes.
**[16:02] Eleonora**
You really are adorable!
**[16:05] Eleonora**
Why don't you come closer to everyone?
**[16:11] Eleonora**
Oh, do you like this?
**[16:14] Eleonora**
I see we share a love of fine jewels.
**[16:18] Eleonora**
Ryu, go fetch!
**[16:27] Yumiella**
I see. It was the necklace Ryu liked.
**[16:32] Yumiella**
Ryu, that's enough.
**[16:36] Eleonora**
I thought I was a goner!
**[16:39] Eleonora**
They say it's a big world,
**[16:40] Eleonora**
but I'm sure I'm the only daughter of
nobility who's been chewed on by a dragon!
**[16:45] Eleonora**
This should make Prince
Edwin like me even more!
**[16:50] Yumiella**
Uh, I'm not sure about that...
**[16:52] Patrick**
Prince Edwin...
**[16:55] Patrick**
We'll have to do something about him.
**[16:57] Yumiella**
Did you say something?
**[16:58] Patrick**
No, just talking to myself.
**[17:04] Yumiella**
It was decided that Ryu would live
in a storehouse on school grounds.
**[17:07] Yumiella**
I'll have to visit him frequently.
**[17:12] New Student1**
Did you hear there's a
student who's level 99?
**[17:16] New Student2**
That's her! The dangerous one!
**[17:18] New Student1**
Huh?
**[17:20] Yumiella**
Patrick, do you have plans after this?
**[17:22] Patrick**
Yeah, but I can spare a little time.
**[17:24] Yumiella**
You've seemed busy lately.
What are you up to?
**[17:28] Patrick**
Oh, nothing...
**[17:31] Patrick**
Just... Just wait a little longer.
**[17:35] Patrick**
There's something I want to
tell you when the time comes.
**[17:38] Yumiella**
There is?
**[17:41] Yumiella**
I'm not certain,
**[17:43] Yumiella**
but what you want to tell me might
be the same thing I want to tell you.
**[17:48] Patrick**
Huh? You mean...
**[17:50] Patrick**
No, wait! I want to say it!
**[17:53] Yumiella**
So do I.
**[17:54] Yumiella**
Depending on how it ends, it could be fun,
**[17:57] Yumiella**
or it could be painful.
**[17:58] Yumiella**
But I think it's important to take that step.
**[18:02] Patrick**
Okay, then let's say it at the same time.
**[18:05] Yumiella**
Patrick, I...
**[18:07] Patrick**
Yumiella, I...
**[18:10] Yumiella**
...want to fly through the sky with Ryu!
**[18:12] Patrick**
What?!
**[18:14] Patrick**
You want to... fly? On Ryu?
**[18:17] Yumiella**
Yeah, but I'm a bit scared.
**[18:19] Yumiella**
So I was hoping you would accompany me.
**[18:23] Yumiella**
What is it?
**[18:25] Patrick**
I'm not that interested in flying.
**[18:28] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[18:29] Yumiella**
Then what was it you wanted to say?
**[18:32] Patrick**
It's surprising that you're afraid to fly.
**[18:36] Patrick**
I thought you feared nothing.
**[18:38] Yumiella**
*He's obviously changing the subject.*
**[18:40] Yumiella**
* Well, thinking that we had*
* the same thing in mind*
**[18:44] Yumiella**
* and then finding out we didn't is*
* pretty embarrassing, I suppose.*
**[18:55] Patrick**
He grew even bigger.
**[18:57] Patrick**
What's that ring?
**[18:59] Yumiella**
It shows that he belongs to the kingdom.
**[19:01] Yumiella**
It prevents him from being
mistaken for a wild dragon.
**[19:04] Patrick**
Huh...
**[19:05] Yumiella**
The flying part is fine.
It's falling that I'm afraid of.
**[19:09] Yumiella**
If anyone's standing where I land,
I'll be fine, but they won't be.
**[19:14] Patrick**
Oh... It's not yourself you're worried about?
**[19:17] Yumiella**
Still, I'm going to try it.
**[19:18] Yumiella**
Ryu, I'm going to ride on you today, okay?
**[19:24] Patrick**
If you're worried, maybe you shouldn't do it?
**[19:27] Yumiella**
It's okay.
**[19:28] Yumiella**
I feel like it's now or never.
**[19:31] Patrick**
* Yumiella's the most dangerous*
* when she's confident.*
**[19:34] Patrick**
* It's just my rule of thumb,*
* but it's never been wrong.*
**[19:41] Yumiella**
Ryu, let's go! Beyond the skies!
**[19:51] Patrick**
Yumiella! Be careful!
**[19:53] Yumiella**
Watch me, Patrick!
**[20:05] Yumiella**
Ryu, everyone's watching. Say hello to them.
**[20:19] Yumiella**
Now do a loop-the-loop!
**[20:24] Yumiella**
Ah...
**[20:25] Yumiella**
I guess I got carried away.
**[20:29] Yumiella**
Ryu, can you make it home alone?
**[20:32] Yumiella**
Good boy. I'll be there waiting for you.
**[20:36] Yumiella**
* This is what I was worried about.*
* I'll damage the town if I land.*
**[20:40] Yumiella**
*I can't use wind magic,*
**[20:42] Yumiella**
* but if I can just change the*
* trajectory of my fall...*
**[20:56] Patrick**
Yumiella!
**[20:58] Yumiella**
Sorry, Patrick. It didn't work after all.
**[21:06] Patrick**
Okay! I'll take you to the nurse's office!
**[21:08] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[21:08] Yumiella**
Hang on. I can walk on my own.
**[21:11] Patrick**
No, Yumiella's healing
magic would be quicker!
**[21:14] Patrick**
Where's Yumiella?!
**[21:16] Yumiella**
Patrick, I'm right here.
**[21:18] Patrick**
O-Oh, right...
**[21:20] Yumiella**
Calm down. You know this
isn't enough to hurt me.
**[21:24] Patrick**
You need to take better care of yourself!
**[21:26] Patrick**
Some people have the wrong idea
about you, but you're human!
**[21:30] Yumiella**
* I think he just said something*
* kind of mean to me...*
**[21:34] Yumiella**
*But I have to be grateful for his concern.*
**[21:37] Patrick**
Come on, let's go.
**[21:40] Yumiella**
Sure.
**[21:44] Yumiella**
* A few days later, I headed into*
* town for the first time in a while.*
**[21:48] Yumiella**
*Ryu was growing bigger and bigger,*
**[21:51] Yumiella**
* so I wanted to look for*
* a saddle, a food bowl,*
**[21:54] Yumiella**
*educational toys, and other pet supplies.*
**[21:57] Linus**
I want you to hear me out
without answering yet.
**[22:01] Linus**
I'm a spy from the Kingdom of Remlest.
**[22:05] Linus**
I'd like to have a word with you in private.
