What?

An exhibition match between Azami and Jiou?

It would be a good idea to let the world know

that the relationship between our two nations has normalized.

In that case, we would need to present them with our finest fighter.

Of course...

I must send the Legendary Tough Guy! I must! I must!

Who's that?!

"Suppose someone suggested taking a short trip to Neverland, or something impossible like that?"

A visit to Kunlun! So exciting!

It's just a boring village.

Don't worry, don't worry.

By the way, Chief, why are we in the forest?

I wanted to use my magic to go there quickly, but I can't right now.

There's a Dwarf waiting for us up ahead.

First, we regroup with her.

Dwarf...

♬ Kunlun, Kunlun, Kun-lun-lun! ♬

♬ Full of treasures, full of profit! ♬

One marriage registration form in my jacket, one in my shirt,

one behind my back, one under my skirt... Perfect!

I'm going to meet someone tough...

♬ To the village of Kunlun! ♬

Treasures, here I come!

Martial arts training!

Introduce myself to Sir Lloyd's family!

No! We're going to Kunlun to fix Vritra!

Hmph!

By the way, are you sure it's okay for you to come along, Chrome?

I thought you said there's a lot of work to do at the castle.

Oh, about that...

Sir Lloyd!

Aqua Whip!

One in the bag!

Let's go, Allan the Immortal Destroyer. The king wants to see you.

You'll stay in the castle until the match, Mr. Immortal Tough Guy.

Really? Mr. Allan is fighting in the royal exhibition match? Impressive!

No, I...

I'll keep close tabs on you, Crimson Jewel of Darkness!

Why do those titles change every time?!

The king makes new ones up every time.

What's up with that?!

Oh, help! Sir Lloyd!

Please don't just stand idly by!

Sir Lloyd--

I'll be there to cheer for you for sure! Good luck!

In other words, Mena is taking care of things.

Thanks, Mena.

Sorry, Allan...

In here...

Here.

Come out, Eug!

Hey all! I'm Eug, call me Professor Eug.

I'm technically Dwarven royalty, thanks.

This seems like a lot more people than we planned.

Stop complaining about everything, idiot.

This person is a Dwarf...?

Royalty? Seriously?

It's just a formality. Even in my hundies, I still have the best skills,

so I can't quit even if I want to.

In your hundies...?

Yeah, in my hundreds.

So you're over 100 years old, like the master...?

Please don't put me in the same category as her! I find that deeply uncomfortable!

I'd say you're quite similar!

By the way...

Hey Vri?

Hmm?

Hey!

What were you doing wandering around outside the village?

Thanks for messing up my plan!

Well, the root cause is Alka...

I told you so many times, Alka is the root of all evil, who messes everything up.

--Yes... --She is the embodiment of idiocy and you need to keep that in mind

as you protect Kunlun!

What?

The "embodiment of idiocy"?! Besides, the apron was your idea!

You said it'd be really tough and make a great gift for Lloyd!

Anyhoo, off we go! To Kunlun! Let's go!

That's Kunlun.

The air is so clear!

I imagined something more terrifying...

It's peaceful.

Yeah, it's more ordinary than I thought.

I imagined something more like houses made of gold,

or roads paved with divine artifacts.

Don't let your guard down yet, or your eyes will pop out.

Huh? What do you mean?

T-This village...

Trouble. Real trouble.

I'm getting deadly vibes from everywhere...

What's wrong?

Oh, no, I forgot something.

Upstairs, right? I'll get it.

--Where is it? --Oh, well. There!

See? It's right here.

--Ah, okay. --Let's hurry, I don't want to be late.

--Okay. --Hey! Close the window!

Yes, yes.

Let's see. "Will be back in an hour, make lunch please"?

"I made your favorite stewed yams for lunch."

There.

Oops, I missed a bit. Old age, I guess.

Wh-What in the...

That's how we communicate out in the countryside.

Oh? Is that you, Lloyd?

Hello Mrs. Locomo! Good to see you!

You look well!

Yeah!

Hey, Locomo.

Could you do me a favor and put some magic stones and magic power in this?

Yes, yes.

I'm ready.

Oh, he fell short. I should have put a little more magic power into it.

Old age, I guess.

That was short?!

Is the old man okay?!

Oh, when we're in a hurry, we fly like that.

We can get quite a bit off target if we miss, though...

I take it back... there's nothing ordinary about this place.

Yes. I feel like I'm in a battle.

Miss Riho! Look!

That's a killer piranha!

Hey, Gramps!

Hey! Is that you, Lloyd?

I'm home!

--Welcome back! --That must be...

May I help you, young lady?

You must be Pyrid the Ogre Lord. I desire your instruction.

Oh, that's a stance from my style!

Oh, right. I remember Miss Phyllo mentioning she studied it on her own.

Oh!

Yes. I am a practitioner of the Pyrid Style.

It's been a while since I saw that stance outside of morning exercise time!

Exercise?

--Yes, the Pyrid Style is a village-wide exercise routine for health and fitness.

--Yay! One, two. One, two. --Yes, the Pyrid Style is a village-wide exercise routine for health and fitness.

Wow, there goes her soul.

Yeah, her martial arts style turned out to be an aerobics routine.

Sure, let's instruct you. It's been a while since I did this.

But I'm carrying this thing...

Here, here!

I'll carry it!

Oh, how considerate of you.

It's the least I could do!

Great, thank you!

--I can do this! --Yes, you can!

This is my mansion.

Um, Ms. Alka, where is he...?

Oh, right. You two are here to see that guy.

He should be in the wheat field out back.

Thank you!

How cute.

Merthophan... Merthophan!

That voice...

Choline! Chrome!

It's been a while. I'm surprised to see both of you.

Yeah, we're also surprised... by your outfit.

Hmm? What's wrong with this outfit? It's very agricultural.

What is it, Choline? Is there something you want to say?

Well, no, I...

Oh, I'm sorry I didn't notice.

No, don't be sorry, you're just...

You need to use the restroom, right?

I'm very grateful for your offer to provide fertilizer to the fields.

Go ahead and relieve yourself anywhere.

That said, Kunlun soil is self-vitalizing and doesn't require fertilizer.

Die!

This guy is impossible!

He just replaced his hawkish patriotism with agriculture!

That was your bad, Merthophan.

Why?! Human feces is one of the most important fertilizers!

The cesspool is a sanctuary that...

Silence, you buffoon!

How did I ever fall for this guy...

By the way, when are you coming back to Azami, Merthophan?

Well...

Although I was being manipulated, I did indeed participate in an attempted coup.

There's no way I can go back.

Besides, I like life in this village.

Farming is good. The more work I put in, the more growth I get back.

Sort of like the cadets?

The plants are more straightforward, which does make me miss those rebels...

But no, I can't go back.

I need to take care of these little guys...

I mean, the crops that I worked hard on.

I see.

How have you been?

Welcome home, Lloyd!

Mr. Gorei, Cumin! I'm glad to see you're all fine!

They must be Sir Lloyd's family! I must introduce myself!

Greetings, everyone! I am Selen Hemein.

It is my great honor to make your acquaintance.

I filled in all of the required fields!

What's this?

I see Lloyd's name.

All I need now is a signature...

I would like to marry Sir Lloyd...

Hmm? What is this noise?

Ugh, it's that pest again.

Hey! Come any closer and I'll roast you whole!

Oh, it's the flying lizard!

Is that a super-rare monster?!

I should chase that thing away for good.

Oh! Let me handle that!

Um, sure?

That's a dragon!

No!

Don't come any closer!

Good throw, Berry!

One more!

There! How's that?!

Yay! It ran off!

I get the horn!

Hey, no fair!

I made the hit!

Too bad, there goes your chance to make a fortune.

Shut up. Also, you're in the same boat.

Hmm?

City paper is super cool!

Yeah, it flew so straight!

We should thank that lady!

My marriage registration forms...!

Thank you!

Sorry, went ahead and took a bath.

I even borrowed underwear!

Ugh, where are your manners?

I'm hungry.

Me too.

It's only natural. It was a heated, deadly battle.

Hunger is proof of life.

I'm sorry I couldn't teach you anything beyond the very basics.

--Huh? --I promise I'll teach you properly next time, okay?

--Good! --Basics?

--Good! --All of that?

--Good! --Basic?

--Good! --That?!

Basic?!

Wow, Phyllo is acting totally out of character today.

Time for a toast!

Thank you everyone for gathering today to celebrate my marriage to Lloyd--

Huh?!

There, there. Sorry about the Chief's silly joke.

It's not a joke!

Anyway, to reiterate...

To Lloyd, who came home as a soldier,

and to his friends, as an expression of welcome...

Cheers!

Now, dig in! Dig in!

--Delicious! --This is super delicious!

Ah, that's a freshly butchered basilisk gizzard.

--So good! So fluffy! --The sauce is delicious too!

That's roasted onion with seafood sauce.

The sauce was made from kraken broth.

I worked hard on that!

Oh, that's a fresh salad made of cursed sweet peppers...

It smiled...

Oh, what a big smile! That means it's fresh!

Yes! Delicious!

These are all monsters?

Thank you for the meal!

Time to clean up.

Oh, let me help!

Oh? You don't have to.

No, I owe you for the great meal!

Really? It would be helpful.

What's her deal?

Probably trying to score some treasure...

That Riho girl will go real far.

Endless curiosity and desire to improve.

Even if she's doing it for the money, at that level, it's quite impressive.

We're off now.

That was fun.

Thank you for coming tonight.

By the way, which one of them is your girlfriend?

Wh-What are you talking about, Aunt Sofra?!

These are all just friends from the academy...

Oh, I just assumed you came home to introduce your girlfriend to us.

You're not a baby anymore. You're at least interested in someone, right?

Ooh, who is it?

Come on, please, give me a break.

Out of these girls, I recommend Miss Riho.

Ah.

The moment something comes up, she immediately offers to help. How considerate.

Yes, a very fine young lady.

My vote goes to Miss Phyllo there.

Ah.

She's very honest, and her moves aren't bad.

I'm sure she'll do some fine work.

Wh-What?!

How did we end up here?

Pyrid supports me. That is the equivalent of getting the parents' approval.

I win!

Cut it out, fools! Go home already!

How did you all score so many points so quickly?!

I must do something too... Do you have any ideas, Vritra?!

Hmm... How about you use the "talking belt" gimmick

and transform into a magical girl to win over the kids?

That's too straightforward! It won't work at all!

Really? When my children were younger, we all used to watch those together...

What's this? Transformation? Sounds like fun.

How about another form for you, instead of a snake?

Something really handsome and stylish.

Handsome?

Boom! This is Vri's new form!

How is this handsome?!

By the way, you saw him, right? How was he?

Up to no good.

It seems like he wants to release the demon lords for his own ends.

Don't you think we're ready to move on to the next step?

Does it have to be now?

Magic has been adequately researched.

Some humans are on the verge of understanding runes.

I don't want to act based on guesses.

We don't need a repeat of what happened before.

Vritra was about to regain his memory.

If he does, who knows what he'll do in his confusion...

Perhaps.

Can you wait just a little longer?

I've waited too long already.

Interloper.

Shut up!

I can't help it!

You're their new favorite. They even gave you clothes!

They gave you nice clothes.

Huh? These pajamas?

That's a dress!

It's highest-grade silk, from earth spider webs.

What?! That's unbelievably valuable!

I knew it! That's more than enough evidence! I'm jealous!

"Self-bought"

I knew it! That's more than enough evidence! I'm jealous!

Yeah.

Seriously?! This won't do!

I thought you already took a bath.

I don't want to spoil it or get wrinkles on it.

Your underwear too?

Yeah, to sell!

I gotta treat it well...

I can't sleep in such expensive clothes!

Yes?

Excuse me, I brought tea and snacks.

They're all specialties from the village, so I wanted you to try...

Sir Lloyd...

I never thought I'd need to kick Master away for something like this...

As punishment, I'll tie you up tonight so that you can't move!

Underwear...

Princess Maria...

My deepest apologies about what I did!

Come on, don't do that. You're hurting my feelings.

It reminds me of how I have to behave around the loli grandma.

If possible, can you tell me about how you ended up being manipulated?

One day, a travelling merchant came to me.

He gave me a mysterious and sinister egg.

For some reason, I presented it straight to the king, as ordered.

From then on, I stopped worrying about the consequences of my actions.

I was driven by some strange impulse...

That was around when you asked me to research runes.

To be honest, I did notice that something was wrong.

Do you remember what that travelling merchant was like?

Well... He may have been in his 30s... Or perhaps his 60s...

Huh? How does that work?

It's hard to pinpoint my impression of him.

Is that the culprit behind the Demon Lord who was manipulating my father...?

Oh, I remember.

The man asked me, "What do I look like to you?"

Where have I heard that phrase before...?

Hey, Lloyd! What are you doing out so late?

Oh, um...

A walk!
