Original subtitles

Are you awake, Cou-sama?

Yes, but there's still time to sleep...

Yep.

Today's the last day of Union Fest...

and the city will be bustling again.

You're right.

It's going to be a long day.

I don't really want this festival to end.

I wish I could have fun like this forever!

That would be nice.

furui nooto ni kakitsuzutta

An old notebook chronicles

ano hibi no monogatari ni

The tale of those days

ji endo wa mada

Which is yet to end

tokei no hari ga susumu goto ni

As the clock spins

omoi wa tashika ni chikazuiteku

Our hearts will surely meld

hito wa negau toki sora wo miageru wake wa kitto

The reason we look up into the sky when we make a wish

yume no iriguchi tsunagatteru to

Is because it's a gate into the world of dreams

shinjiteiru kara boku wa hitomi tojita

That's what I believe, so I close my eyes

kasukana kibou wo sagasu mitai ni

As if to search for a faint hope

fearless boku wa motto tsuyoku naritai

Fearless! I want to become stronger

omoide ja naku ima no kimi no tame ni

Not for memories past, but for you in this moment

negau koto mo masshiro na hane wo yadoshite

Carrying wishes upon pure white wings

kimi ga iru ao no hate made maiagare

I'll soar high into the blue sky and reach you

The three Heroes are scheduled to return

two days after the end of Union Fest.

It's almost...

time to say goodbye.

Thanks a lot for giving us a ride, Rebecca.

Final Performance

Thank you!

Don't mention it.

Nanami's going to Biscotti with the Princess,

Shinku's going to Pastillage with Couvre...

...And I'm going to Galette!

It's like we're trading Heroes!

You're right.

Indeed.

I made a few changes to the outfit.

Nanami and Millhi happily agreed,

but would you also like to try it on?

You're watching the live broadcast of the Union Fest Special!

Our special guest today is the Representative Ruler of Biscotti,

Princess Millhiore!

Hello!

Hello!

Also, from the Galette Lion Army, Génoise!

Hey!

Last, but not least, the Hero-

Hello!

Takatsuki Nanami, Hero of Biscotti, present!

Uh...

You look slightly different than usual.

Really?

I'm the Hero!

Well, to spice things up a bit,

Nanami-san will be our Hero for today.

You can call her "Today's Hero!"

Lord Leo, Union Fest is coming to a close very soon.

What is your opinion of the events that have taken place so far?

Everything's been going wonderfully.

Lord Gaul, any comments on your Hero?

I think it would be more appropriate to ask her herself.

Come forth, our Hero!

Coming!

H-Hello!

I'm Rebecca, Hero of Galette!

Rebecca has become our Hero for the day.

That Ex Machina is just a fake, though.

Doesn't she look cute?

Thank you...

Rebecca-sama is so cute.

They both look excellent.

Which means...

our Hero is going to be Pastillage's Hero for the day?

That's right.

Which means that he's going to trade outfits, correct?

I guess so.

Magical Beam!

We can't let that happen!

I think it's pretty nice!

Indeed!

It's borderline everything!

I'm back!

Huh?

What's wrong?

Yeah, you look marvelous.

Thank goodness...

I'm relieved.

Come to think of it, this was obviously the only choice.

Looking good, Shinku.

Huh?

Thanks.

The Heroes are all going back home soon, right?

I heard they'll be back soon, though.

I haven't been to Earth in a while...

I wonder if I can go with them when they go back...

What makes you say that?

Well, you know, to check out their girls' bodies, underwear...

I didn't catch what you just said.

Could you repeat it?

Nothing.

That's what I thought.

Stay tuned for tonight's closing performance!

Good work, everyone.

You too.

Good work!

Huh?

Noire?

Rico, Noire, and I are going out for a bit.

Do you need a ride?

No, it's fine.

There's enough room for all of us.

We'll be back by Millhi-nee's concert.

Take care.

Go, Skaya!

Have fun!

Well then, why don't we head to the hall?

Sure.

Let's.

Biological signatures of Pastillage's royal family

and equipment of the Holy Spear, Kormals, confirmed.

Opening.

This is The Eschenbach Basement Treasury of Legends!

It's Pastillage's largest ruin, and a huge labyrinth!

I'd heard the rumors...

...but this is the first time I've been in here!

You both told me you really wanted to see this place, right?

That was back when we were little kids.

You remembered?!

I never forget a promise!

Watch yourself, though.

This place is full of traps to keep unwanted intruders out.

What?!

Well, those are only further underground.

All the traps on this floor have been deactivated.

Don't frighten us, Cou-sama!

But... don't you have something to do, too?

Yeah.

I need to pick up Rebecca's parting gift.

I left it stored in the back of the treasury, away from everything else.

I see.

Also, Rico, Noire,

you two witnessed the previous returning ritual, right?

I'd like to hear about that as well.

There it is!

There's the treasure chest.

I'll just take this...

Cou-sama!

Skaya! Skaya!

Release energy!

Seven Tails!

Just in time...

Nice save, Noire.

We're safe...

Did you set off a trap?

This place really is quite old.

It must've malfunctioned.

Where are we?

Probably the tenth level or so.

Well, we just fell straight down.

We could just use Skaya to-

It closed...

Which means...

We're trapped?!

There's a map over there!

I'm sure we can find the exit if we-

A trap...

Both of you...

Watch your step-

Sorry...

Looks like I spoke too soon.

What a ridiculous labyrinth...

There has to be some way out...

Oh, what a convenient bench...

That sound..

No way...

Could it be...

I knew it!

Rebecca,

is something wrong?

No, I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I'm not sure why...

but I feel like something bad is about to happen.

A split!

We need to find a split in the road!

There are no other paths to take!

Is everyone all right?

I'm alive... somehow.

Huh?

Is that Becky?

Shinku?

Are Cou-sama and the others with you already?

No, not yet.

Something's wrong...

She shouldn't be taking so long...

In the basement?

Yes.

She said she was going to the underground treasury.

The treasury, eh?

They used that labyrinth way back when I was the Demon King.

It's a grueling final boss-type dungeon full of relentless traps.

The traps have all been deactivated, though.

Well, it is quite old.

Becky...

Yeah!

A d-dead end...?

L-Let's take a break.

I'm exhausted.

I agree...

Rico, Noire, I'm so sorry.

We're stuck here because of me.

It's not your fault, Cou-sama.

We're the ones that wanted to come here.

But...

If I had just been more cautious...

If I had just taken better care of this place...

If we're placing blame, then I could've saved you with my Seven Tails before we fall.

I should've seen the pressure plates before I rushed forward!

But...

It's okay.

We're right below the Castle.

Help should be on its way.

She's right!

Let's take a break.

By the way, Cou-sama,

what questions did you have about the returning ritual?

I wanted to know if you felt sad, or worried,

or... stuff like that.

Of course!

I felt so sad to say goodbye.

I cried so much!

It was a huge hassle, after all.

I heard about that.

But when I found out that we could meet again, I didn't feel sad at all!

I don't want Nanami and Shinku to go back,

but it's true that we can meet again anytime.

But...

I'm still worried.

Rebecca is from a world far away,

and there are so many fun things to do in her world...

and she has so many friends there...

and I'm worried that she might forget about me.

Cou-sama...

I know.

Rebecca is a nice girl.

She'd never do something like that.

But even so, saying goodbye is always painful.

I just don't trust people enough.

Go ahead and call me a cowardly little Lord-in-training.

We wouldn't do that.

Nobody likes to say goodbye to a loved one!

With that, we end our break.

Let's get moving!

We need to make sure you can spend as much time with Rebecca as possible!

It's about time we found a way out of here!

Rico... Noire...

Alright, let's-

Everything was going so well!

Why now?!

We need to get out of-

There's nowhere to run!

Above you!

I'll handle this!

I won't let my two best friends get hurt!

Kormals has been located.

All traps have been deactivated, but not for long.

Shinku, Rebecca, please find them.

Roger!

Take this, kid!

This is...

A Demon Crystal.

It's the Demon King equivalent of the Hero Crystal.

I'm sure you can make good use of it.

I'll take good care of it!

Transfer Heroes!

It's coming down again!

If only I could open this door...

Sorry for the wait, girls.

Shinku in Hero Time...

and Rebecca are here to save the day!

Rebecca... Shinku...

Wait right there.

We'll push this thing back up where it belongs!

What the-

This thing is so heavy!

I need to transform!

Shinku, can you handle this for a moment?

Gotcha!

Demon Crystal...

activate!

Demon King Seal!

Witch Cannon...

Demon King Mode!

Get down!

Go!

Thanks, Shinku.

I did it.

Hero!

Shinku!

Rebecca...

Cou-sama!

Rebecca...

I was so scared!

Didn't I tell you to take me or other knight escorts with you wherever you go?

I'm sorry...

Well, I'm glad you're safe.

You know I'm a knight too, right?

Shh, Noire.

Let's get out of here!

The Princess' concert is starting soon!

You're right!

We are on schedule.

Five minutes till opening.

Princess!

Everyone's in their seats!

That's good to hear!

Oh, but are they all right?

They're fine!

It looks like they're having a great time.

That's good to hear.

I'm heading to my seat, now.

Good luck, Princess!

Thanks!

Princess!

Princess!

I'll be here waiting
