Oh, man.

This looks amazing.

And it smells so delicious, too.

Go on.

You don't have to wait for me to start digging in.

Thanks, Lady Reese.

So tender and juicy.

This Somburg steak is amazing.

Yum. Even tastier than the restaurants in town.

Your cooking just gets better and better, Lady Reese.

Thank you. It makes me so happy to hear you say that. I never would have gotten

this good without Miss Milano.

Have you still been going to cooking classes?

Well... Well, I heard Miss Milano's teaching in Houtou now, so I dropped in

to say hello.

I never got the chance to thank her for everything.

But then... Hi, Miss Milano.

Oh, Grace.

What a wonderful surprise to see you.

I heard you're in town now, and I just had to come by to say thanks.

Thanks for what?

For getting hitched. Your lessons and patience with me deserve all of the

credit. I couldn't have won over my husband's heart without help from your

delicious recipes.

Oh, congrats. That's marvelous news, Reese.

Now that you're happily married, it's my duty to teach you every dish a mother

needs to know.

She might have gotten a little bit carried away with her excitement for me.

But she taught me to make this dish, especially because kids always seem to

love it.

Oh, wow. Kids, huh? Hey, they are married, and having children is usually

the next step.

Yep, she's got a point.

Huh?

Yes?

What now?

Um, hello, First Princess Elizabeth.

What brings you to our door?

Please don't make me decline your offer to be hero again.

I hope you'll pardon my unannounced intrusion. I'm here to give you the long

-overdue apology you deserve.

Please, Sir Fleo.

Or... perhaps I should call you Summon Candidate Sir Boniza.

Don't be nice to anyone, but I like that.

Let me be by your side.

Love and love.

Um, I'm not really certain if it's proper to serve tea to a princess.

But I do hope it's to your liking.

It's perfect.

Thank you very much.

Forgive such a rude request, but I must discuss something sensitive with Sir

Fleo. Would you be so kind as to leave us, please?

Oh, yes.

I'm not leaving my husband's side.

I've witnessed with my own eyes how terribly your kingdom has treated him in

the past.

And I'm not leaving you alone to further torment him.

It's okay, Rhys.

We can do that.

Seems like a fair request.

But, darling... However, anything you say to me, you can say in front of my

wife. Rhys is staying right here beside me, and if you're not comfortable with

that... You're welcome to leave.

I understand completely.

Come on, let's go.

Sir Banaza, once again, with all sincerity, I apologize for your

maltreatment.

The kingdom has wronged you.

Specifically, the injurious spells placed upon the bottomless bag

deceitfully gifted to you after banishing you to the Delavez of Forest.

I could never apologize enough.

You really don't have to kneel, please, your highness. And I don't go by Boniza

anymore. Just call me Fleo. I'm a small-time merchant now, and that's it.

Then I suppose it's too late for me to apologize to Sir Boniza?

An apology can't change anything for me, and I wouldn't want it to anyway.

Now then, can we get to the real reason you're here?

I'm sorry to be so blunt, but you traveled all this way, and I doubt it

was only to say you're sorry.

I have to admit, you've seen right through me.

This is for you.

A map?

One that reveals the positions of Clyrode's army.

Each of the lights you see on the map depict the location of an enchanted

stone carried by a Clyrode battalion leader.

Isn't that top-secret intel?

Why give this to me?

You may already know, but purification was cast around the royal capital and

other strategic areas.

The spell has held off the Dark Army, but they're certain to resume their

attack once the effects have worn off.

Our mages so thoroughly exhausted their magic casting the spell, they have yet

to fully recover.

It bought us time though, enough to place our troops in pivotal geographic

points.

But there are certain towns left unguarded.

Therefore, we need some way to keep these towns safe, and we request your

assistance in doing so.

At this point, I have no right to ask you to accept the role of our hero and

defend humanity, but please... You can stop there! After everything you people

have already put him through, I can't believe you actually have the nerve to

ask my husband to join your war when he wants absolutely nothing to do with it!

The king has been comatose since the purification, but he will soon awaken.

Your connections are known, and I highly suspect your association with demons

will embolden the king to hunt you down.

Is that meant to be some kind of threat, First Princess?

Not at all.

I intend to take action and use my authority while I'm still the acting

ruler. In what way?

My father disgraced our true hero. Furthermore, he appointed a false,

unworthy hero in your place.

For these ruinous judgments, I will have him abdicate the throne.

But I can't do it alone.

I humbly ask for your support, Sir Fleo.

To his credit, the king has protected us from many dangers.

But not enough.

He has routinely failed to offer aid to our weak, and abandoned them.

I plan to protect all of our citizens, which is why I must succeed him.

And to do that, I must prove my worthiness as a ruler, and show the

people I can keep them safe.

You're seriously telling us you just want to use my husband for a power grab?

Hey, try to stay calm, Reese.

I think I get it. You're looking for a guarantee I won't side with the Dark

Army, right?

Yet again, you've seen right through my intentions.

Care to explain this to me?

She knows I'm friendly with the Dark One himself.

Why share classified info to request my aegis of towns outside the war zone?

Um... She's trying to get you to stay out of the way and lay low?

Yep, you got it.

This isn't about me fighting.

The princess never counted on me joining the Glyrode army.

Am I mistaken?

I genuinely wish to protect everyone, even if it serves a dual purpose.

Considering my history with the royal family, I mean, aren't you concerned I

might share this info? Please consider it the greatest possible proof of the

absolute trust I'm placing in you.

Please, Sir Fleo, for any of this to work, I beg you to lend me your aid.

Damn we lost them. They were the duo from the wanted posters, right? How the

heck did they disappear so quickly?

Thank you big bush No

crying I won't allow those

roughneck goons to capture us after we've come this far If I'm going to

reclaim my title as hero, then I've got to shake off these cheap mercenaries!

I'm afraid I'm gonna starve to death first! Did I not just forbid crying?

Jeez, wait, I think there's... Here.

But are you sure?

We're running so low on our rations already, though.

Just eat it, will you?

Thank you so much, hero!

All we're going through?

I'm a bit surprised you decided to stick with me, Suya.

I doubt I would.

You do realize I could say the same thing about you, Hiro.

I'm not really speeding things up for you. If all you care about is escaping,

wouldn't you be better off without me?

Well, yeah, I suppose I would.

Besides, I didn't want to spend the rest of my day sitting in a dungeon.

Not to mention, that moment you turned back and offered your hand to me after

opening our cell door.

Right then, well, you looked rather dashing.

It was nice to see your gallant side after all the times you ran away and

cowered. Enough with the mouth. You keep on calling me hero, but is there

anything less heroic than dying? And we're not dead yet, are we? Come on,

let's move.

What?

Help me, hero!

Suya!

Gross! What is this foul stuff?

I wasn't expecting to ensnare such a handsome man while out hunting for a

sacrifice.

Huh?

Sure, come on over.

Are you mulling over everything the princess asked of you today?

I hate fighting, and I'm always gonna feel that way. But still.

I hate the idea of people suffering even more.

Especially when I could have done something to stop it.

I know that, darling.

What's more, I have been thinking for a while.

Deciding what it is I should do in this world.

What I want to do.

And well, if we do have a child together someday... Raising them? I want them to

live in a happy, peaceful world.

With both demons and humans.

And the only way is to create that world.

I know it won't be easy to do that.

Not at all.

But if there's anything that can help make it happen, it's worth the

difficulty.

That may sound impossible, but I absolutely believe you can do it.

I don't know if there's much I can do, but you know I'll help any way I can.

I know that.

Thank you, Reese.

incoming near the forest entrance dark army battalion headed this way the dark

army's coming get as far away as you can hurry let's go

away while you can.

Go on.

I know I told you I would gladly help, darling.

But accepting a tedious chore like this without a reward?

There are times I wonder if you're too kind.

It's not about kindness.

Accepting a reward would mean I sided with humans for money.

Truth is, the second I heard her out, the princess had me beat.

Beat? Are you saying she's gonna take you as a husband now that she's beaten

you?

Of course not, that's crazy!

Not in the demon realm.

There are several races that are known to claim multiple wives.

I guess I could share you if I don't have a choice. Geez, I told you I'm not

marrying her.

The heck is a Lupin doing hanging out with a human? Explain yourself, traitor!

We're guarding this town.

You guys are free to walk away if you agree to withdraw.

However, you'll get no mercy from us if you intend to harm these people.

and you'll regret it no mercy this cockroach has got to be joking with us

right you're just a single puny human i'm not trying to talk down to you guys

i'm just saying it'd be a big waste of energy for everyone here it's a moot

point anyway it's not like you can break through this barrier now can you

movement

your sparkly barrier won't stop me didn't notice they had

a cyclops When it comes to brute strength, no other demon race comes

close. This one serves Lord Gull's younger brother, Uigard.

What a mangy mutt. Only thing Lupin's are good at's dying like a dove, just

like your worthless fool of a leader who wormed his way into the infernal floor.

You're no match for me, you sack of fleas.

Darling husband, would you indulge my urge to silence this loudmouthed creep?

Really, Rhys? I cannot deny the fact that my brother, Fingara, was defeated.

He held the highest rank of the Dark Army, so naturally all his failures are

his alone.

But I will say, Lupins are a proud race.

Our strength means all, and I won't allow my brother's defeat to belittle

our entire tribe.

As his younger sister, I can't let such an insult slide.

This arrogant fool thinks he understands strength. I need to show him how little

he actually knows.

I can't act like I love the idea, but I can see how important it is to you.

I'll never stand in the way of something you need to do.

Just... no killing, though.

I'm not breaking that vow today.

Let's see if you got any bite to match that bark, little pup.

Real easy to talk big hiding behind a magic wall!

If you're gonna swing that wide, you'll never come close to hitting me!

Come here!

Meteoric Leaps!

Positional exchange!

I was dropped on my head as a baby from greater heights than this!

Idiot! Swapping places ain't nowhere near enough to beat me!

Positional exchange!

I can tell you're proud of those big, thick muscles of yours. Probably strong

enough to hold a tree. Think you can handle four?

Gravity magic!

That should keep you down. We can keep going if you want.

But I doubt you do.

You call yourself a demon resorting to cheap human tricks like that?

Gross all you want, but those cheap human tricks are the only reason you're

still breathing.

Damn dirty dog.

Hey morons, what are you standing around dogging for? She's a traitor to the Dark

Army, so crush her now!

That's far enough!

I can't move any!

Darling, I'm capable of fighting them on my own. That wasn't necessary.

It's obvious you're the winner, Rhys. There's really no reason to keep

fighting at this point. And believe me, I know you could take them. You're the

strongest one here.

Oh, you're so sweet, darling!

Healing magic!

What kind of weird game are you playing at? I spoke clearly.

You must withdraw of your own accord.

I could easily use teleportation to send you all to the Delaveza forest.

But you'd come right back, wouldn't you?

So the decision to leave needs to be yours.

You... you don't make a lick of sense.

Can you at least tell me who the heck you are?

A human lucky enough to have a demon in his life.

A very special demon.

Believe it or not, I'd prefer us to all be friends.

But if you'd rather try to get past me... I'll stand in your way as long as

it takes.

Don't make me force you to withdraw.

It took long enough, but we got them to leave.

Oh, darling, you were absolutely incredible!

All that time you spent practicing your posturing at home really paid off!

The most important thing in combat, it's intimidation.

You've got to scare the poop out of your rival.

Literally? Put your hands on your hips and raise your chin 45 degrees.

And then you send them running with a deadly cold stare.

And I thought negotiating made me nervous.

I have to ask, though. Are you sure that this was the right move?

Huh? Those types of demons, they'll march back and attack again the second

they're ordered to.

Shouldn't we have left them with some broken bones? Maybe paralyze one or two

of them so at least they'll think twice about it?

Bit harsh, Rhys.

Look, you're right that might be a better deterrent. It could stop them

from coming back for good.

But then, demons have enough reasons to hate humans.

That would add another log to the fire.

And you want to snuff it out? All the hatred?

Greetings, most kind sir.

We are forever in your debt for saving our town from the scourge of the dark

army, but I must ask Why is this demon still here?

Oh, this is actually my partner In fact, she's just as much to thank

I'm

relieved to see you got away safely

The two of us came here to protect your town under the orders of the First

Princess.

She's the one you should thank.

The First Princess sent you?

Oh, we're deeply thankful.

I bring news, Your Majesty.

We've received reports of an unknown adventurer chasing away the Dark Army

from towns throughout the land.

A nameless adventurer, you say? Any particulars?

A couple of note.

He hid his face behind a wolf mask, and he was also accompanied by a giant

silver wolf.

He apparently disperses the Dark Army, and then leaves without giving his name.

He simply leaves? He doesn't even ask for reward money? Correct.

Each time, though, he's adamantly claimed that the First Princess sent him

there. We're receiving letters of gratitude to the Princess from all over.

This adventurer, can it be who I suspect it is? It can.

There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that it's him.

Sir Fleo, thank you for accepting my request.

All Clyde Road forces throughout the kingdom must be informed.

If they encounter an adventurer with a silver wolf, they are all to give him

their full cooperation.

Yes, sir.

Sir Fleo set aside so much to help me.

I must find a way to return the favor to him.

You are good.

How dare he defy my orders and act on his own.

Lord Goll.

Pardon my intrusion. I've received a most urgent message from Ulimanas.

Go on.

It's Ser Uigard. He's staging an insurrection.

He's occupied the throne room alongside his closest aides.

Well, Fufun, is everything in order?

Yes, most auspiciously. The pair of humans I abducted both possess

exceptional stats.

We'll perform the secret art, Board of the Dark World, during your duel with

Lord Gull. A magic circle has been deployed for the rite of super

hybridization, and these two will serve as a perfect sacrifice to the evil god.

No opponent will stand a chance against you, not even Lord

Gull. Once this ritual is complete, your victory is assured.

Well then, hurry up and don't keep me waiting, Gull.

Once I've defeated you the throne in the dark army will be mine

Thank you.

Let's go!

Let's

go!

This is the princess.

The next episode previews tend to be so lively, yet I'm forced to do it alone.

And I must only go by princess.

I have a name.

Oh, princess, I feel ya!

Golden-haired hero?

I've had the exact same thought! It's like nobody cares!

People treat us the same? That can't be right!
