Original subtitles

My brother was likely poisoned by nobles who oppose trade

with the Kingdom of Mismede.

The Kingdom of Mismede?

Kingdom of Mismede

Kingdom of Belfast Regulus Empire

A newly established kingdom whose king is a beastman.

My brother has been considering an alliance with the Kingdom of Mismede.

If my brother passes away,

the throne passes to his eldest daughter, Princess Yumina.

I'm certain this is the work of someone trying to gain power

through a political marriage with Princess Yumina.

I see. So what do you want from me?

I want you to quickly remove the poison from my brother

using the spell you cast on Ellen, Recovery.

Chapter 4:

Engagement, and an Uninvited Guest

Count Balsa!

My, what an honor, Your Grace.

You've come at the perfect time.

We just managed to capture the culprit who is after His Majesty's life.

Wh-What?!

The culprit is the ambassador from Mismede.

We must cut off her head and return it to Mismede—

Absolutely not!

My brother will be the one to decide this.

Is that so?

Your words are too kind for a lowly beastman.

Slip.

Father...

Dear...

Your Majesty...

Brother!

Alfred, who is this man?

We'll talk later.

Touya, if you would.

Recovery!

Recovery?

The lost Null Magic capable of healing any abnormal condition?

Dear!

Father!

It's as if all my suffering was a dream.

I'm glad.

Alfred, who is this man?

Mochizuki Touya, the man who healed Ellen's sight.

I brought him with me believing that he could help you, too.

I see.

You've saved me. You have my thanks.

You're welcome.

Mochizuki... Touya?

Well done! You saved His Majesty!

I like you!

Th-That hurts.

General Leon, that's enough.

Still, I can't believe you can use Recovery.

That's very intriguing indeed.

H-Huh?

I'm Charlotte, the royal family's official mage.

So what other affinities can you use?

Uh, well, several.

Several?

I would love to hear more details.

M-Maybe next time.

Um, thank you very much for saving my father.

Oh, no need to worry about that.

I'm glad he's back in good health.

Wh-What is it?

Do you dislike those younger than you?

What?

What would Mismede gain from killing me?

This crime was the act of another who sees me as a hindrance!

I believe so as well, but the proof...

Proof?

Yes.

Many saw Your Majesty collapse right after drinking the wine

sent by the ambassador.

He collapsed from drinking wine?

I get it.

Hmm... For now, let's meet with this ambassador.

Summon her here.

At once.

I, Olga Strand, am here at your command.

Arma's sister?!

Y-You're...

Oh? You know the ambassador, do you?

I helped the ambassador's younger sister when she was lost.

More importantly, has the room where the king collapsed been left undisturbed?

Huh? Yes, I've ordered none to touch it.

Then could you take me there?

This is the wine the king drank.

May I?

Search: poison.

I think I get it now.

General, could you summon the king and his party here?

Oh, and Count Balsa, too.

Huh, huh?

What is this all about?

Why have I been called here?

Y-Your Majesty!

Sorry for worrying you.

I-I'm pleased to see you well.

Well, Touya...

Why have you gathered everyone here?

Everyone here was present when His Majesty the King collapsed.

Is that correct?

Yes, we were here...

That means...

The culprit is among us!

Nailed it! I always wanted to say that once.

Touya, what do you mean?

S-Sorry.

What are you going on about? She's the culprit.

Many people saw His Majesty collapse in this seat

after drinking wine from his glass, right?

General Leon?

Yes, that's certain.

Which means there was poison in the wine this woman brought!

It was not poisoned!

Be quiet, you lowly beastman!

Now, I'd like to verify this case step by step.

Verify?

Yes.

This room remains as it was when the incident occurred.

For the sake of verification, I have prepared a bottle of wine without poison.

I can't drink it since I'm a minor, so General Leon, if you would.

A "minor"?

I don't understand, but very well.

Yes, it's very good.

Now that you've all confirmed this wine isn't poisoned,

I will pour it into His Majesty's glass, resting on this tray.

Since His Majesty still isn't feeling well, his substitute can be...

Yes! Count Balsa, would you drink this for us?

No, I...

Don't worry.

We've already confirmed that there's no poison in this wine.

Count, what is the matter?

Sir, well, um...

You seem to be nervous about playing the grand role of king.

I'll make him drink it!

Stop!

H-Help me!

Poison! I'm poisoned!

I'm dying! I'm dying!

Count Balsa, I've already wiped the poison off the glass.

What?!

Now then...

Why did you believe there was poison in it?

What's the meaning of this?

In short, the poison was not in the wine brought by Olga-san,

but in His Majesty's glass.

In the glass?

What cowardice!

I was able to learn this quickly with magic that detects poison.

It would seem every glass the king uses was laced with poison.

How terrifying.

That was too easy.

Wonderful!

U-Um, what's the matter?

You are a wise man as well, I see.

Huh?

I won't let you catch me!

Slip.

Stare...

"Stare"?

You've done us a great service.

I'd like to repay you for saving my life.

Please, think nothing of it.

I just happened to be visiting the Duke.

Father, Mother, I've decided.

What is it, Yumina?

Th-This man, Mochizuki Touya,

i-is who I'd like to marry!

What?

Would you please allow me to marry Mochizuki Touya, Father?

Can you tell me your reason for asking this?

Touya brings happiness to those around him.

His character is very desirable, as well.

For the first time, I feel I've found the one I want to spend my life with.

I see. If that's how you feel, then I shall not oppose.

I wish you happiness.

Yes.

What a happy occasion!

We must celebrate tonight.

H-Hold on a second!

My, what's the matter?

No, no, no, no, no!

Aren't you being too quick to accept this?

You don't know the first thing about me.

That is indeed true.

But if Yumina acknowledges you, then you surely aren't a bad man.

How can you be so sure of that?

Well, Yumina possesses Mystic Eyes.

Yumina possesses the Mystic Eyes of Intuition,

which can see into one's character.

So there's no need to worry.

There's plenty of reason to worry!

For starters, how old is Princess Yumina?

She's twelve.

T-Twelve? Isn't that a bit too young for marriage?

Most in the royal family settle on a partner by age 15.

My wife and I were engaged at 14 ourselves.

Right?

Yes. It's the perfect age to get engaged.

Touya, do you dislike me?

No, I don't dislike you.

Then there isn't any problem!

But in my country, men can't marry until they're 18,

and women can't until they're 16.

How old are you, Touya?

I'm almost 16.

Good.

Then there's no problem. You'll have two years to learn more about Yumina.

Huh?

If, after spending two years getting to know her,

you still can't consider marriage, then we'll give up.

How's that?

Sure...

Princess Yumina will still only be 14 after two years have passed...

Then it's settled.

Yumina, use these next two years to win over Touya's heart.

Yes, Mother!

Huh?

I hope you'll treat me well.

I feel like I'm in a bad dream...

Incoming Call God

Hello?

Touya, congratulations on your engagement!

How do you know about that?

Seems like things are getting interesting!

It's not funny.

I can't even think about marriage at my age.

You're so stiff.

In that world, polygyny is normal.

You can get yourself all the wives you want!

Please don't just say whatever suits you.

Well, anyway, I'm rooting for you.

I want you be happy, after all.

Talk to you later.

Polygyny is standard...

Touya.

Touya-dono's getting married?

Surprising, isn't it?

Jeez, what were you thinking?

I don't know how it happened, either.

I'm Yumina Urnea Belfast.

I'll be staying with you all starting today.

You'll be living with us from now on?

My father ordered me to.

Even though you're the princess?

Will you be okay... my lady?

Please, don't be formal with me.

I know little of the world,

but I'll do my best to avoid slowing you down!

I'd like to start by registering with the guild and becoming capable of fulfilling missions.

Huh?!

Wait... Princess?

Accept missions at the guild? Do you realize what that means?

I do.

Also, please stop calling me "princess."

Please call me Yumina, darling.

D-Darling?!

N-Not "darling," please!

Then, Yumina, if you would.

Y-Yumina.

Yes!

Wait, if Yumina marries Touya, does that mean he'll be the next king?

Me? A king?

No, no, no, no way! What are you saying, Elze?

There's also a chance that the child

born between us will succeed the throne!

Wha...

All five together!

Huh?

You're starting with killing King Apes?

I thought this would be the best way to show you what I'm capable of.

Well, if you get into trouble, Touya can protect you.

You know, despite my appearance, I've studied archery and magic.

I believe myself rather capable in both.

Now then, let's begin.

Come forth, Dark!

I seek the proud beasts wrapped in silver: Silver Wolf!

That's summoning magic...

Okay, guys, if you would, please.

They should find it for us.

Wow. Summoning magic is convenient, huh?

If you'd like, I could teach you.

Then could you teach me after we finish this mission?

Sure!

Now!

Come forth, Fire!

Whirling Spiral: Fire Storm!

Slip!

Boost!

Come forth, Lightning! Pure Sparking Javelin:

Come forth, Fire! Crimson Javelin of Flames:

Thunder Spear!

Fire Spear!

All done.

Um, how did I do?

Well, no problems in terms of ability.

Your magic was quite good, too.

Having rear support is a great help.

With Yumina, it's four women, and me as the only guy.

Is that a problem?

You three might not notice it, but we stand out at the guild.

The eyes watching me are painful.

Why's that?

Well, they're jealous, of course.

All three of you are especially cute, so...

What are you saying, Touya?

You're such a joker! Calling us cute...

Touya, what about me?

Am I cute?

I think you are.

They're cute, right?

Are you the one who summoned me?

Oh, I pulled off the summon!

The real challenge starts now.

It's only a success once you forge a pact with the summon beast.

A pact, huh?

A pact with me?

You seem to underestimate me.

This presence... A white tiger...

Are you the White Monarch?!

White Monarch?

The highest class of beast one can summon!

It's not a magic beast. It's a heavenly beast.

Heavenly beast?!

So how do I forge a pact with a heavenly beast?

Show me the quality and quantity of your magical energy.

You're useless if you lack formidable magical energy.

Magical energy?

Odd.

I sense a spirit's... no, an even higher power.

Interesting.

Now, touch me and pour your magical energy into me.

I'm not sure I understand, but...

I just need to touch you?

What is this?!

Amazing!

H-Hold on!

Touya!

Huh?

Wow...

Mochizuki Touya,

I have deemed you worthy to be my master.

Please, forge the master-servant pact with me.

How do I do that?

Give me a name.

That will be the proof of our pact.

A name, huh?

Kohaku...

How does Kohaku sound?

Kohaku?

Kohaku

This part of the "ko" character means "tiger," and this part of "haku" means "white."

And this bit on the left side of both means "king."

The white tiger who stands beside the king...

That's truly a fitting name for me.

I can't believe you've forged a pact with the White Monarch.

Young girl, I am no longer the White Monarch.

Call me Kohaku.

Oh, yes, Kohaku.

Master, I'd like to request your permission to exist by your side at all times.

Huh? I'm not sure I should be walking around town with a huge tiger...

I believe this form will be less conspicuous.

T-True.

So cute!

Hey, let go of me!

Who do you think you are?!

Oh, I'm Yumina.

I'm Touya's wife.

Master's wife?!

She's not my wife yet.

What's wrong?

What is this cat?!

I'm a tiger!

It's so fluffy!

This cat is too cute!

I'm a tiger!

Master, please do something about this!

Endure it. They'll settle down eventually.

No way!
