Original subtitles

Shouldn't you both be going back to the woods?

We wanna stay with Tama!

We want to pay thanks for our rescue,

and have taken quite an interest in humans.

What a big spring! That what I think it is?!

It's the sea!

We're gettin' purr-etty close to Ruine.

Mhmm.

Tama, we've made it back.

Back where we first met.

Welcome back!

Anna!

Put me down! You're crushing me!

Word has it you did great things in Gladstone!

Nice work!

Ousted that wicked Earl, did ya?

Beating that S-Rank Undead Dragon is gonna make quite a story!

You're a new hero!

I-I am?

No one would argue otherwise!

And this is to commemorate it.

F-for me?!

A silver adventurer's tag!

Aria, you've been promoted to A-Rank, and Stella B-Rank!

I'm A-Rank now...?

That's pretty!

And shiny.

Doesn't look great to eat.

But wait, what about Vulcan?

Err, I uhhh...

You like your current rank so much that you turned down your promotion, didn't you?

Y-yup! A slow smithing life is a better fit fur me!

Now then, let's celebrate!

Cheers!

CHEERS!

Delicious!

Oh, right!

A small gift has arrived from Gladstone for you.

10 Year's Worth of Fruit Preserves

Meowsers!

All of this?!

Now THAT looks good to eat!

Yippee!

All we can eat!

Good grief! That's not going to fit in the room.

With Lily and Feri here now, it was already getting cramped...

You've got a bigger place, Vulcan. Could I ask you to hang on to all this?

Mraw? That's not gonna be paws-sibble with all the materials I have in storage.

No, hmm?

Aria...

Maybe it's about time you left that room and set up a base.

A base?

Yes indeed. Your very own home.

A-Rank adventurers do see more direct patrons, leading many to purchase sizable homes.

With your income from this last request, I'm sure you can get something great!

A house...

My heart is racing at the thought of my first major life expense,

but I think I'm ready to move to a house where we can all live happily together!

What do you think, Tama?

An excellent choice, of course!

The strong one deserves a big house!

We'll be able to run all around with Tama!

And play hide and seek!

I'll meowsy on over all the time!

Let's start looking tomorrow, then!

Okay!

Welcome to Handover-Fist Real Estate!

Commercial District

Handover-Fist Real Estate

It is an honor to assist an A-Rank adventurer in finding a new home!

Now, what are you looking for?

Well...

I wanna go to town on some meat!

A well-equipped kitchen, then!

Lots of grass and trees!

Yes, please!

A large yard!

Oh, and a spacious bedroom, if possible.

Do you have anything like that?

I'm sure he does, but this can't be in our budget...

I have one location, extra cheap!

Think of all the meat!

The sun feels great!

And the yard is so big!

This bedroom has plenty of space.

Hey, where's the tub?

ACK! The uhh...bathroom?

Yeah, what of it? Lead the way.

Right this way...

An open-air bath!

Inconveniently large, I know.

This is the reason I haven't found a buyer...

Yippee!

So big and wonderful!

Should all be able to fit in!

Huh?

What do you think, Tama?

I'll take it!

It's a done-deal!

Tama, I'll make sure to set aside lots of pussy time.

That's the last of our things.

This is so soft!

And fun!

Now I finally get to hold Tama!

There's no denying she was a big help with the move.

My master was kind enough to "reward" her.

Hey! That's a bit much!

Can't miss a chance like this!

To think I'd find myself subject to this...

You never know what life might throw at you.

We're star-crossed killers.

There they go again.

Like they're communicating in silence...

And I don't remember allowing any bosom boundary crossing!

Oh, Vulcan!

Brought a housewarming gift fur ya!

What a catch! Thank you!

Gotta keep your paws off that for now.

What's this thing that looks hard to eat?

An Obal lobster, a local delicacy.

I cannot wait to taste my master's cooking!

You're such a dog, Tama, taking both of us at once...

Work that tongue some more, Tama...

What are they dreaming about?

As much as I would like to sleep like this...

I still have work to do.

After our battle the other day, I seem to have acquired a new skill.

STATUS

Slime

Wyvern

Behemoth

Golem

Minotaur

Poison Serpent

Roper

Earth Dragon

Elemental Blast

Elemental Blast, hmm?

Water Missile

Rock Missile

Flame Missile

Aether Missile

I'd best use that in my next battle to see how it works.

What else...

What's this?

Elemental Blast

Evolution ready: Second Form

Evolution ready: Third Form

Behemoth Third Form?!

I thought the Second Form was my final form.

I never imagined there would be more.

What is it like?!

I should try it out to be safe, but I have no guarantee I'll ever return to this form...

If I want to play it safe...

Tama!

What's wrong?

Y-you're awake?!

I was asleep until I heard your voice.

Apologies for waking you. Go get some rest.

Not happening.

I can tell something's on your mind, and I won't get any sleep until I know what.

Remember the form I took when I defeated you?

Of course!

You're nice and cute now, but that was the form of the true strong one!

What if I had another form beyond that one?

Do you?

You can get even stronger?!

Stronger than when you bested me?!

Huh?

Go on, Tama! Evolve for me now!

And then...

breed me!

Hey--WAIT!

I can't!

I'm telling you to wait!

Who can wait?!

Pixies & Dryads

These fairy creatures live in woods and forest labyrinths.

Few humans ever encounter them,

but good fortune is said to come to all who do.

What a lovely meowrning!

It's nice to have such a big bedroom.

I slept wonderfully.

Breed me!

So, can I ask a favor?

We want more plants in the yard.

Is that okay?

Of course!

My hometown of Lumines was quite lush and green, you know.

I'll find a gardener after we eat-

Oh, no! We'll handle it.

Be done in a snap!

Do high dryads and high pixies have such powers?

Wake, spring forces, and breathe again!

S-stop right there!

What's wrong, Vulcan?

Th-that's a World Tree!

It is?!

Its mythical paw-ers paint the land in green and form deposits of ultra rare ores below ground!

You know your stuff.

Does it taste good?

Feri, can you grow normal trees, too?

Of course!

Piece of cake!

Then hurry and make this paw-sitively hidden!

O-okay...

Hup!

Lucky us, it's still early in the day

Would have caused quite the fuss if someone saw.

Look at this sparkly water!

You're kitten me, a Fountain of Life?!

These waters are said to be an elixir which cures any and all ailments!

Having that in your yard is asking fur trouble!

It'll keep you looking good, too! Great for the skin!

Mraw?

Maybe it's no purr-oblem if we keep it a secret.

Y-yes, right. This is a wonderful boon for adventurers like us.

But I have other worries...

Fairies like you that create world trees and fountains of life...

...are bound to be kidnapped by bad sorts.

We get it!

We'll keep it a secret...

Who woulda thought this water was that good?

What I'm especially surprised about is Lady Vulcan's knowledge...

I knew she was a fine blacksmith, but this is impressive.

I'm gonna paw around under the yard in a bit.

You might find incredible materials, right?

But I can only handle up to orichalcum.

Any rarer than that, and well...

Only the few Artifact Smiths in the world can handle them, right?

H-how did you meow that?

I read it in a book.

Artifact Smith is a treasured title given only to a select few recognized by the national governing authority.

Is Lady Vulcan...?

No, she couldn't be.

Turning down a rank promotion the way she did, she mustn't care for such ambitions.

Is everyone home?

Anna!

Sorry to intrude so early.

I have an urgent quest for you.

For some reason, a powerful monster has been showing up on the first level.

We've already had fatalities!

We can't let that go on.

Let's paw-ruse the scene!

Count me in.

And us, too!

No, we'll stay here...

Yeah...

Lily... Feri...

Right, they must not want to cause further trouble.

In that case..

I am this party's knight! So long as I live, I will defend you all!

I believe Tama means to say you should come with us.

Tama!

That settles it, we move out together!

We'll handle this, Anna.

My, you sure have grown!

Thank you for the lovely gear.

I'm so excited now!

No need fur thanks!

You look great.

Yep!

D Rank

Hobgoblin

E Rank

Goblin

A hobgoblin, too?

They normally don't show up on this level.

Leave this to us!

We'll show you true fairy power.

I'm ready fur the show!

Tama, be ready if they need you.

Was hoping for some action, but I'll stand back and watch this time.

Now that's purr-ogress!

Fairy Bullet!

Here goes!

Incredible speed!

Branch Whip!

Amazing!

You two are fur-ocious!

Mhm!

They both have excellent mid-range attacks.

They'll make perfect additions to the party's rear.

Impressed? That's how tough we are!

This was easy-peasy.

Sounds like a minotaur...

Are Rank C+ monsters truly coming up this far?

Something's off.

That was no battle cry. It was a cry of dismay.

It sounded almost afraid...

Afraid?

A Rank

Troll

It's a troll.

Bet all those other monsters turned tail and ran further up 'cause of him.

Indeed.

But the monsters here typically reside on fixed levels.

What is happening here?

Stand back, Tama.

This is a powerful foe, but I want to see how much I've improved since earlier battles.

Master...

Let's go!

Okay!

We'll start with an ambush.

Fairy Bullet!

Branch Whip!

Careful, meow! Trolls can regenerate!

Can't allow that.

Gotcha meow!

Acceleration!

Lily! Shoot for the eyes!

You've got it! Take this!

Imagine that, even Stella working as part of the team!

Aria, finish 'em!

On it!

Sacred Blade!

Triple Strike!

Phew! That was intense!

Sure was.

Look cat you, calling out instructions!

Teamwork is fun!

How was that, Tama?

Incredible work, Master!

Let's check a little further ahead and report back to Anna if we don't find anything.

I can feel the day's stress washing right off.

Tama, how's the water?

As a knight, I have no time to spend enjoying the bathwater...

It's all I can do to keep my little behemoth under control...

Hey, hey!

What might this be?

Maybe a magic device?

It seems the previous owner was fond of bathing, but...

Give it a try!

Okay!

How fun!

That bath was so neat!

Stand still so I can dry you off.

Let's add in some elixir, next time!

That's not a bath purr-oduct...

But let's do it!

It seems we have a whole new family.

Alisha the Sword Saint protected the home of the elves.

Now I want to defend our lovely life here.

I wonder if that's too wild a dream.

You are more than capable, Master.

And you have your trusty knight!

Imperial Capital

Klareal

Y-your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Our fears have become reality.

Monsters all over are growing restless, as if called by the demons!

We do not have even a moment left to spare!

The time has come...

Episode 9

Fated Reunion in the Imperial City!

You must be wary of leering eyes in an open-air bath.

Really?

Yes?

In the woods,

the monsters used to watch us when we bathed.

Looks can't hurt you.

Am I the odd one out here?
