I'm looking for a certain adventurer.

One powerful enough to defeat many magic beasts at once on his own.

Do you know anyone of that nature?

Nope, never heard of 'em.

Thank you for your time.

Where in the world could you be, Sir Flio?

Wow, it looks so good!

Let's eat!

This is great!

The soup is wonderful, too!

I'm so glad.

Hiya helped me with the cooking.

I could have used my magic to do it all,

but the missus here wouldn't allow it.

Cooking for my husband's pack is my job as his wife!

If you'd like to help, please take care of the cleaning and laundry.

Understood.

I will make every nook and cranny of the house sparkling clean.

Wh-What do we do?

Cooking was always Lady Rys's job, but...

We were taking care of the other chores to save face as freeloaders.

If she takes that from us, we'll be...

...just a bunch of deadbeats!

Have this, as well, supreme one.

Uh, thanks.

Listen, could you maybe call me something besides "supreme one"?

It's embarrassing.

Whatever do you mean?

You are the supreme one, supreme one.

What's wrong with you guys?

Not gonna eat?

Toward Their Respective Futures

My fields... and my work in the fields...

is the one thing I won't let a djinn beat me in!

I thought I'd do carriage work

to contribute whatever I could to the household budget...

But right now, it's all I can do just to take care of the horses.

H-Hey!

If you must lick me, please keep it to my cheeks!

Father, Brother...

You know...

I left the knights before I could become a castle mage like the two of you.

I don't need to push myself to get any stronger now, but...

Okay, try doing it just like I taught you.

Fire Lance.

Hey, you did it! Good job, Belano!

Yeah...

Sir Flio was patient enough to stick with teaching a dropout like me.

I don't want to waste that.

I want to learn how to use lots more spells.

S-Stop!

Stop it! Cut that out!

M-My precious field!

A horse...

...m-magic beast?

Watch out!

You two aren't hurt, are you?

We're fine.

I'm sorry.

For a magic beast, it seemed quite calm,

so I couldn't bring myself to kill it and brought it home.

But if it's going to attack people...

W-Wait a minute! It just suddenly started acting wild?

Yes, that's right.

Stop it!

I understand! Sybe!

Please take your horned rabbit form!

There, there.

There, there. Easy, now.

Way to go, Byleri!

Yeah. You can even tame a horse that's a magic beast.

You're still brilliant at handling horses.

No, not at all...

Hey, Balirossa...

Are we allowed to use the vast, open land surrounding this property?

Well, all the land here belongs to the local lord.

If we bought it from him, like Sir Flio did, I'm sure we'd be free to use it.

I see! In that case...

We finally get some time alone, Darling.

It feels like a date. I'm so happy.

I wouldn't call it that, though, since we're just here to sell equipment.

I don't mind that.

Since we're married for real now, we can be as lovey-dovey as we want,

but there's always someone else in the way at home.

Yeah.

But just being able to spend time with you makes me... I mean...

It makes me happy, as well, Darling!

Oh, it's made with salamander skin, eh?

This is well made.

Thank you for saying so.

Might be good for the ladies, since it's light.

And in that case, it might not hurt to add a little color.

Want to try adding some magic gems?

Sure.

These are beautiful stones.

That one's called lightstone.

They're pretty rare, so they're worth a fortune.

Huh...

I just love that serious face he makes when he's working.

Oh, Darling...

How did it go?

No luck, I'm afraid.

I see...

What's that?

What is that monster?!

Rys!

Darling!

That monster just suddenly appeared in the sky!

The townsfolk are in danger. Let's go!

Right!

Th-The town is...

Found you.

Stay away from the princess!

I'm gonna need you small fry to scurry away.

Hiya?!

What are you doing here?

I sensed waves of evil.

I rushed here from the house as quickly as I could.

That monster is human.

It has taken that form due to the magic of the witch you see with it.

A witch?

Yes. Damalynas the Apricot, The Grand Magus of Midnight.

Long ago, she ruled as the most powerful mage in the Magical Kingdom of Klyrode,

but she sullied her hands with dark magic.

She was defeated by the hero present at the time,

but even after her body died, her mental state remained.

Although she was sealed within the pedestal that held the sword I was sealed within...

It seems she also made her return when my seal was broken.

Doesn't that mean this is all your fault?

Yes.

Had I not used the power of the sword that sealed me,

only the weakness of the humans who failed to seal her

and the foolishness of the one who released my seal

carry more of the blame than me.

This really isn't the time to crack jokes.

Supreme one, I would like to eliminate this rogue who threatens the city.

May I receive your permission?

Okay.

But the lives of the townsfolk get top priority.

As you command.

We'll aid and evacuate the people.

Right!

Well, what'll it be, Princess?

That blockhead there is the only one you have left to protect you.

I'd say your situation is pretty dire.

I see you have returned, Damalynas, Grand Magus of Midnight.

I love that expression!

I wish I could keep looking at it, but sadly...

I'll be taking your life!

Hiya, the djinn of light and darkness!

How dare you stand in my way?!

I don't know if I'm truly in your way,

but I will eliminate any who disrupt the life of the supreme one I serve.

Hmph! Big words for a djinn who failed to grant a wish!

What?! You stopped my magic with just one arm?!

No magic of this world has any effect on me.

Therefore, you, as a denizen of this world, will never be a match for me.

Oh, is that so?

Well, how about this, then?!

When magic fails, you try brute force? How short-sighted.

Certainly not!

Dark magic: Fire Lance Noir!

Damn it! Simultaneous magic and direct attacks still don't work?!

Get over yourself!

Even if I'm up against a djinn,

there's no way I, Damalynas, can ever lose!

O abyss that doth sleep within the earth,

from thy depths is unleashed the violence of black darkness.

Open thy gate and stain all in black!

N-No...

If a giant like that goes on a rampage, it'll harm more than just the city!

Huh?

What?!

This is...

Supreme one!

I knew that thing's size was a problem, so I used release magic.

Are you okay?

I am terribly sorry.

It was never my intention to put you through such trouble.

Punish me as you see fit.

Come on, stop talking like that.

Then please, at least, allow me to finish her off.

I-Impossible! My magic was undone by a mere human?!

Perish.

Consider it an honor.

You get to spend all of eternity within me.

Was it really okay to swallow that?

Yes.

I removed her from the body of the woman she was possessing

and sealed her within my mentalscape.

I, Hiya, will discipline her so that she will use her powers

as the former Grand Magus for your benefit, supreme one.

You're actually pretty sharp.

You honor me, madam.

Anyway, that hero sure has caused a lot of trouble.

He's just unconscious. We can let the castle soldiers take him now.

You are Sir Flio, yes?

That's right.

I've finally found you.

A pleasure to meet you, Sir Flio.

I am Elizabeth Klyrode, first princess of the Magical Kingdom of Klyrode.

What?

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving the kingdom from this threat.

And I sincerely apologize for all the disrespect

you have endured from the king and the previous hero.

P-Please, you don't need to bow to me.

Wait, "previous" hero?

Yes. He was recently relieved of his duties following the many problems he caused.

The truth is, we came to this town searching for you, Sir Flio.

Would you please accompany me to the castle as our true hero?

Huh?

Now that the people have lost their ray of hope,

I must assume it was the gods' guidance that brought us together here.

Please...

I'm sorry.

You should give a big job like that

to someone who won't hesitate to wield their power for humanity's sake.

That someone isn't me.

Besides, the life I have now is the best life for me.

My only wish is to live in peace with my wife.

Nothing more than that.

Darling...

We're back.

Welcome back!

We've been waiting to ask you about something.

What's that?

If you're willing to, at least...

We'd like to expand our property.

Expand?

I'd like to catch and raise horse magic beasts,

but I'd need more land to do that.

I'd have more room for farmland, too.

I'd be able to grow lots more vegetables!

And we can haul all those vegetables in carts drawn by horse magic beasts.

You wouldn't have to do any work at all!

It'd be one thing if you had tremendous power like my husband,

but I can't see any magic beasts obeying a race as weak as humans.

Shouldn't you raise regular horses?

Keeping horses isn't cheap.

If I could let horse magic beasts run free in a huge pasture,

I think they'd turn out quite peaceful.

Okay. I'll talk to the domain lord about it.

Thank you so much!

But we want to do the negotiating and purchasing ourselves.

Huh? Land's pretty pricey, though. You sure?

Considering how much this land cost when I bought it...

You can expect to pay at least this much.

Even this far away from the capital, it's that expensive?!

Yeah, when you have as much land as we have.

Demons don't show up in this area,

so prices on land have gone up.

My savings from my time as a knight won't be enough.

Maybe if I sell all my armaments...

You don't need to worry. I'll pay for it.

It'll be part of this household, after all.

And if you guys will take care of the added land, I'll be happy.

But then...

Not satisfied with that?

Okay, then, 30%.

You can pay me 30% of the profits you make off the new land as rent.

How about that?

In that case...

Plow away!

Plow away!

Plow away!

Plow away! Plow away!

Those girls...

They're enjoying this far more than they enjoy their combat training.

They sure are. Oh...

Hey, if we're basing all this on the sale of your vegetables,

why don't you try raising some that are harder to grow around here?

Harder to grow?

Yeah. We can control temperatures to some extent with magic.

With a few tricks, I think we can work out a way to grow just about anything.

No, no! Then I'd be relying on your magic to manage my farm!

I started doing this because I didn't want to freeload.

Let me handle the farmland.

What if I were to help, then?

As the master's servant, there'll be no issue with using my magic, no?

Vegetables are only good if you raise them with loving care and lots of sunlight.

You can't just rely on magic for everything.

But isn't agriculture terribly inefficient when at the mercy of climate change?

So if you can manage that with magic...

Wh-What's wrong is wrong!

But I'd like to see that.

Belano...

I want to see how Hiya would use her magic for farming.

Why are you dressed like that?

I've decided to go to the Houghtow College of Magic.

I'm on my way to training.

Are you planning to relearn magic?

That's what I had in mind when I applied,

but they said I'd be welcome not just as a student, but as a t-teacher.

Wow!

You're gonna be a teacher?

That's impressive!

It's because Sir Flio taught me all kinds of spells

that even someone with low magic like me can use.

But you're the one who worked hard to learn them.

Congratulations on your new job.

Thank you. I'm checking out all kinds of textbooks and grimoires now...

And...

I realized that the magic I thought was only useful for combat

can be surprisingly useful in our everyday lives, too.

Still a no, Blossom?

Okay, why don't we try using magic on just one section of the farm?

If you determine that the crops don't grow as well

or taste as good as naturally-grown ones,

you don't have to sell them until you're satisfied with them.

I can't say no to you when you put it that way.

I'll let you handle my precious farm, even if only a part of it.

If you're irresponsible with it, you'll pay for it, you hear?

I shall bear that in mind.

They've all found something they want to do. I'm impressed.

Yes. Seeing them enjoy themselves so much makes me feel happy, too.

Actually, I found something I want to do, too.

Huh?

What is it?

I'd like to open my own shop in this world one day.

Oh! I'm sure any shop you run would be successful!

You think so?

Of course!

I'll talk to my friends and tell them to come buy from you!

But... aren't all your friends demons?

I don't mind that, but I think it'd cause chaos in town.

I'll tell them to make sure they take human forms first.

You don't need to worry!

Darling, I would do anything for you.

So don't hesitate to ask anything of me.

Thanks, Rys.

Also... here.

I found a really pretty stone, so I made a ring with it.

Would you accept it?

Is this...

It's a wedding ring.

See? A pair.

D-Darling, I... I...

I am so very blessed!

Why? Why?

Why did this happen to me?

Hero!

We're going to be executed if we don't get out of here!

I refuse to die here!

Hey! Let me out right now!

Don't think you'll get away with doing this to me!

Hey, Hiya, raise the temperature.

Very well.

Hey, Hiya, more light.

Very well.

Hey, Hiya, play some music.

Very well.

Wow! You really can do anything!

Sh-She's going to take my place too, at this rate!

Incidentally, I excel at full-body massage.

Next Time

Unseen Wall

Absolutely not! Anything but that!
