Why? Why did this happen?

These are puny little humans we're talking about!

Our strength far outweighs theirs!

So why do they keep defeating us?!

Explain, Phufun!

Yes, Lord. According to reports,

traps were set all over every route the Dark Army was using to advance,

preventing them from even getting close to Klyrode.

Traps?

Such things have never hindered us before!

Why can't we do as we used to?!

W-Well...

If it's come to this,

we'll have to crush them with an army so large that no trap can slow us down!

B-But how will you amass an army that large?

It's your job to think about that!

Have a plan by the next time we meet. Got it?

It's no wonder a commander who knows nothing but how to move forward is losing.

Lord Gholl's advances were always preceded by thorough research.

And the intelligence corps that drove our research

left the army along with Uliminas, so what are we to do?

Morale among our officers is dropping.

The Dark Army will fall into ruin at this rate.

Oh, no, there is no concern about that.

Because I, Phufun, have a plan.

What plan?

First, we will hold a social gathering to bolster our plummeting morale!

A Steamy Hot Spring Trip, Part 1

And we have a first prize winner!

Congratulations!

Yay!

I did it, Darling!

R-Rys, your ears are showing.

The first prize is a voucher for a hot spring resort stay!

A hot spring trip for just the two of us!

How can I be so blessed?

Here's your voucher for group lodging at Kinosaki Hot Springs Village!

Group?

Yes! This voucher is good for lodging for three or more people.

You can use it for as many as fifteen!

They can all be your friends, of course!

Can I exchange this for another prize?

Rys!

Oh?

This hot spring resort is quite busy for such a secluded area.

Everyone is wearing purr-ticularly unusual clothes.

They're called yukata.

It's a traditional outfit from an island nation in the east.

Huh...

My first trip with my husband, and we can't even be alone...

Come on, Rys.

This trip is a way for us to get to know Gholl and Uliminas.

Let's all have fun together.

You know, there are seven hot springs here,

and each offers different health benefits.

Benefits, you say?

Why rely on such things when you can simply rely on magic?

Because hot springs feel so nice.

Incidentally, the benefits of the seven hot springs include

nutritional fortification, healthy skin, magic replenishment, fertility...

Fertility?!

I'm so glad we came here, Darling!

Wh-What got into you?

Welcome to Kinosaki Hot Springs.

Thank you for traveling so far to visit us.

Please use our hot springs to relieve the exhaustion of your journey.

Thank you. We appreciate it.

Now, if you would please sign in over there.

Sure.

We've prepared yukata for all of you.

You can put them on in that room there.

Hey, you there!

Yes? How can I help you?

Where's the hot spring that boosts... f-fertility?

That would be the Yanagi Bath, also known as the fertility bath.

It's outside. Allow me to give you a map.

I wish you luck.

She said this is where we change, right?

Sorry...

One moment.

We are quite all right. Carry on.

O-Okay... Sorry for running into you.

Hey! Why did you let that woman go?!

That lower life form had the nerve to bump into me!

Lord Yuigarde,

the reason we disguised ourselves as humans to come here

was to bolster our officers' morale after it plummeted with that last defeat,

and to deepen the relationships between us.

Causing a commotion now would ruin it all.

What a pain in the neck. Why must we go through all that?

Spending time naked and vulnerable together is good for us!

We're going to spread our wings today.

I hear they have a hot spring that gives you beautiful skin.

I wonder if it really works.

I'm going to drown myself in liquor!

Everyone!

Remember to keep the necklace that suppresses your Malicium on your person at all times!

Wh-What in the world is going on?

All the Dark Army's officers are here together.

Should we have had gatherings like this when we were there?

They're bad enough, but Dark One—

But mew are just as bad.

Listen to me, you two.

Don't you dare let them notice you.

Why sneak around? Would it hurt to simply say hello?

If you come face to face with Yuigarde, there's no way it's going to end peacefully!

If you ruin my and my darling's hot spring trip, I will make you regret it.

Meow...

Wow, it's so big!

And we can go in here barefoot?

So this is tatami.

It's cool to the touch!

It has such a strange scent.

How interesting!

Feels weird!

This room is for you ladies.

My darling and I have a separate room.

I got a separate room for you, too, Ghozal.

I wouldn't have minded staying with everyone else.

You know that's out of the question!

Mew know that's out of the question!

Hey, come on. It's thanks to Sir Flio that we were able to come here.

Let's all get along and have as much fun as we dare!

R-Right...

Let's go purr-take of hot spring-steamed buns and eggs before dinner!

I want to try this "shooting game" thing they have.

You, Byleri?

O-Oh, there's...

somewhere I'd like to go by myself...

You, Balirossa?

Well...

I...

Darling, the hot springs!

Let's go to the Yanagi Bath right away!

Okay, Rys.

In that case, I will accompany—

Hiya!

Today is the one day I will not allow you to interfere.

But...

You understand me?

O-Of course...

Today's the day my darling and I make a baby!

I-It sounds like everyone has somewhere they'd like to go.

Why don't we all do our own thing until dinner?

I agree!

In that case, let's get going, Darling!

O-Okay...

Now, then...

Long time no see, Hiya.

I thought you had forgotten all about me.

Most certainly not.

This is my mentalscape.

Your soul exists here with me for all eternity.

And? What do you want?

The truth is, I wanted to ask you to join me in a training drill.

What? A drill?

Wh-What is this?!

You see, after watching the supreme one and his wife,

I have taken an interest in the human practice known as "reproduction."

What?!

I had hoped to observe the entire act in full detail,

but as I cannot, I had the idea to attempt it for myself.

What even led you to that?!

A-Aren't you supposed to do those things with...

you know, someone you love?

Love?

Besides, you and I are both women!

We can't replicate that act!

I am the djinn who commands the origin of light and darkness,

a being that surpasses gender.

Not to mention, I have always been particularly fond

of inordinately greedy things such as yourself,

Damalynas.

Th-Th-Th-That is not the point here!

I was chased out of my own mentalscape.

I suppose this means I need to earn the other party's acceptance first?

But how shall I...

This must be the Yanagi Bath.

Well, shall we get in?

Yes!

And once we've enjoyed the fertility bath to the fullest,

I hope you'll give me lots of loving attention, Darling.

I-I'll try...

Wait, Rys! This is the women's bath!

I haven't just taken it easy like this in ages.

This might be the first time since I came to this world.

Darling, are you there?

Yeah. Right here.

Sounds like you're right across from me.

It seems so.

Hey, Rys...

Yes?

We haven't gone on a honeymoon yet,

so why don't we plan a trip for just the two of us?

I would love to!

And...

I was disappointed when we couldn't share the same bath,

but doing this makes it feel like we have something to hide.

It's somewhat exciting, isn't it?

I think the heat's starting to get to me!

I'm gonna get out, okay?

What? Wait, Darling!

I turned down Balirossa and the others

to come here...

to this museum of grown-up delights!

Gulp...

H-Here goes.

So you came here as well, Byleri?

I read that a wide variety of sexual items from all ages

and locations can be found on display here.

I've come hoping I can find a way to earn the acceptance of another.

As if you're gonna find anything like that!

I have no way to know until I go inside.

Wh-Who are you talking to?

Pay me no mind.

Now, let us enjoy this place to our hearts' content.

I-I'm not mentally prepared for this yet!

Booze tastes the best when you start during the day!

It's good. Maybe I'll buy some for Sybe.

But you know, Balirossa...

You should stop sneaking fervent glances at Ghozal.

If you're into him, just go worm your way in.

What?! I'm just keeping an eye on those two!

Hey, Ghozal! Havin' a good time?

Blossom! Stop—

Why, Lady Blossom and Lady Balirossa.

You look much more relaxed than usual. It's quite nice.

And you look charmingly beautiful in that yukata, Lady Balirossa.

Mew need to quit ogling her!

Even if mew aren't the Dark One anymore, it's shameless!

Aw, what's the problem? Let's forget all that and drink together!

Yes, let's.

What is this disgusting food?

It this really what the humans eat?

You're right, Lord Yuigarde! It's unbearably disgusting!

It's not even edible!

It's so fresh and delicious.

Seconds!

Hey! Someone provide some entertainment!

Liven this place up more!

In that case, if I may be so bold...

What kind of dance is that?! Do something better!

Leave this to us!

Look that way!

Look that way!

Very good! Keep it up!

Hey, that hurt, damn it!

Well, you started it!

The hell?!

You wanna go, punk?!

Sure! Fine by me!

We finally made it out of demon territory.

Surely the demons won't keep chasing us any farther.

I want to get in a hot spring and eat some delicious food.

I'll buy you all the food you want.

Once I sell this demon treasure,

I'm gonna be rich, after all!

We're straight-up thieves, aren't we?

How can you say that?!

I was nearly killed!

I deserve this much or more!

A-Are you all right, Hero?

Bastard! You've done it now!

It's your own fault for letting a little blow like that send you flying!

Damn you!

What are you guys doing?!

That lady is...

Which means... these people are demons?!

Hero?!

Isn't that...

Not again!

Easy. You've had too much.

No one asked mew.

You want Ghozal to be the Dark One again, don't you?

Of course. That's nyo secret.

Demon society is a meritocracy,

and there's nyo one else with the overwhelming power he has

who still cares so much for all demons in his realm.

He's not someone who should assume a lowly human form,

with nyo reverence or nobility whatsoever, and just quietly flicker out.

So that's why you so vehemently insist on not calling him by name.

What are mew giggling about?!

Ever since you two joined our household,

I thought the way you only call him the "former Dark One"

made you seem like a sulking child.

What?! Are mew mocking me?!

For someone who left the Dark Army to follow him here,

I thought you were awfully tough on him,

but I see now. You are actually...

in love with him, aren't you?

What?!

The inn!

Meow!

Everyone, please stay calm! Don't panic!

What the heck is going on?!

First of all, everyone get outside!

This magic talisman will guide you to safety!

Ma'am, watch out!

What in the world is going on?

I'm glad I noticed in time.

Are you all right, Darling?

Yeah, but I can't find out what happened in the inn while I'm doing this.

Rys, can you go check it out for me?

Yes!

Understood!

Wait! Put on clothes first!

The building stopped falling a-purr-t.

Yes. It must have been Sir Flio.

Yeah, but what is that black monster?

A concentrated mass of Malicium.

Malicium?! Does that mean there are demons here?

Actually...

I saw the purr-ent Dark One, Yuigarde, and his aides earlier.

I just knyow this was their doing.

It's purr-ty hard to see,

but that's a magic gem that absorbs and amplifies Malicium.

In a demon's hands, it increases magic power,

but any other species would have nyo control over it.

Whatever it is, we need to get everyone in the inn to safety!

Yeah!

Wait! What do mew three expect to do?

Just get to safety right nyow!

I'm sure Sir Flio is more than capable of handling this.

As Uliminas said, you ladies should—

Don't be ridiculous!

Are you trying to dump this entire burden on Sir Flio?!

Sir Flio has long been stuck between the humans and the demons already,

and he has suffered so much for it.

And yet he still uses his powers to bring everyone peace.

We can't expect him to handle everything just because we aren't as strong!

We remain by Sir Flio's side because we want to be of some use to him!

We might not look it now, but we were once knights.

We'll do whatever we can. That's all there is to it.

Let's go.

Have they nyo sense at all?

They haven't even considered their own skill levels.

So Sir Flio wasn't just keeping them at his side because they need protection.

Rys told us to stay put,

but it seems this is no time to just quietly hide.

Will you accompany me in being scolded later, Uliminas?

He never asked for my thoughts on anything before...

This is just nyo fair.

Mew know that siding with humans would make us failures as demons.

But right now, I am my own man.

I think fighting to protect my holiday with my friends is acceptable.

Once this job is done, we hit the hot springs.

Rys, you're here, as well?

Obviously!

I will purge whoever is interrupting my hot spring time!

Oh! Isn't that...

Lord Gholl?!

What?!

Move aside!

I didn't expect to see you here, Gholl.

This hot spring nonsense has been excruciatingly boring,

but now it's getting exciting!

Now... it's party time!

This garment they call "yukata" is so elegant.

True. Ghozal looks like a mew man when he wears a yukata.

Your faces are both red. You're thinking lewd thoughts, aren't you?

Wha—

Nyo way! It's the booze talking!

Next time, "A Steamy Hot Spring Trip, Part 2"!

Look forward to it!

It's the last episode! Mew better watch!
