Sit.

FLUFF Sit.

Shake.

FLUFF Shake.

Stand.

FLUFF Stand.

Well done!

Shiro quickly learns simple tricks like these, but...

Let's say I want Shiro to spin three times and then bark,

how can I give precise commands regarding how fast, where, and how loudly?

I tried inscribing the instructions into my spells, but...

Shiro can't even begin to understand it and just starts dancing in confusion.

I see.

It'd be great if someone knowledgeable about monsters could teach you...

A monster expert...

- Oh! - Oh!

There is one with such knowledge!

I'm probably thinking of the exact same person...

Perhaps we should pay a visit...

...to Princess Alieze's nursery tower.

I'm not so keen on this...

I WAS REINCARNATED AS THE 7TH PRINCE SO I CAN TAKE MY TIME PERFECTING MY MAGICAL ABILITY

EPISODE 6: BIG SISTER, MONSTER, SPELLBOUND SWORD, AND BIG BROTHER

She owns a tower like this?

Just what kind of person is this Alieze?

She's the sixth princess of Saloum, Alieze de Saloum.

My sister, who is older by three years.

As you can see, she's a huge animal lover.

She keeps everything here, from cats and dogs,

to reptiles, birds, and even monsters.

Lloyd!

BAM Lloyd!

Lloyd! Lloyd! Lloyd!

L-long time no see, Alie...

SMOOCH

Prince Lloyd! Please hang in there!

This is an emergency! I must give him CPR!

I was wondering why you suddenly ran off...

Eris!

Why do you always immediately kiss Prince Lloyd

the moment you see him?!

Because he's so cute.

So?

Is this bearwolf the reason you came to see me?

His name is Shiro.

I have to say, I'm surprised you immediately know that it's a bearwolf.

Just from intuition!

He got affected by this "mana" thing, didn't he?

Let's leave.

It doesn't seem that Princess Alieze even understands what mana is.

I doubt she can teach how to communicate heart-to-heart with monsters.

Now now, let's wait a little longer.

Alieze, can we see your monster, too?

She's already here.

Let me introduce her.

This is Liru, a lesser fenrir.

It's a monster of a tier higher than bearwolves!

It somehow managed to evade my Spectral Detection...

But more importantly...

Here, you can have it back.

When did she even give the command?

She must've given the order to come here while the fenrir was still behind us.

Or more precisely, "Take Sylpha's hairband without her noticing and stand there."

If that was the instruction Alieze gave...

That means she managed to send a lot of information without any movement.

Incredible! How does she do that?!

I need to know!

Alieze, please teach me!

I want to be able to communicate with Shiro like you!

It will not be easy, mind you.

Great! I love a good challenge!

Then I shall teach you how to communicate with animals.

The secret is...

Is...?!

Love!

Huh?

Indeed, love!

Yes, as long as you have love,

you and any kind of monster will be able to understand each other!

FLOP

FLOP See?!

It's pointless to try to be like her.

She might be a genius, or maybe just like a bait to the animals.

Bait?! You're so mean, Eris!

Everyone can do it if they try!

You just need to fwoomph and then go bwaah!

Wha?!

H-hey!

Please stop messing around!

Let's leave, Prince Lloyd! Love is too vague to be of any help!

Prince Lloyd?

I see... I didn't think about that!

Oh my!

Prince Lloyd...

...is interested in love?!

Sylpha!

HUG

HUG Prince Lloyd!

You're always so kind and warm.

Yes. Perhaps that is because of my love!

Love is so intriguing.

Teach me more, Sylpha.

If that is your wish, by all means...

I've been trying to give orders to Shiro.

But what you did to the animals...

...it's not giving orders, you were empathizing with them.

When all the animals started moving just now,

I saw mana radiating from your head to the animals.

Not from your fingers,

but straight from your head to theirs.

You unconsciously link your mind with the animals with magic

and send the thoughts directly.

Not giving orders,

RUN, RUN, RUN Not giving orders,

TWIRL, TWIRL, TWIRL but transmitting my thoughts...

WOOF but transmitting my thoughts...

Sync...

...our feelings together!

What?

But he hasn't given any orders!

Spin three times, and then...!

Great! That was perfect, Shiro!

The speed, the location, the bark, everything!

Prince Lloyd must be a genius!

Linking your mind with them... That's just like a monster tamer!

Indeed, though it was a bit different than what I imagined.

POUT

POUT You're wrong!

It's love! I'm not linking, controlling, or anything that complicated!

Yes, of course love is important.

You only come to have your abilities because you love animals.

And besides,

you can share your thoughts,

but the animals won't do anything unless they empathize with you.

Love is so incredibly deep!

Lloyd!

Wait, Alieze! Your mind is still linked with the animals!

Cut it off! Cut it off now!

You too, Sylpha! Eris! Let me go!

RAGGED What an ordeal...

My deepest apologies.

But now I understand how to communicate with monsters.

That's great.

Now then, let's do our best at sword training as well!

Nope.

I have a business with Lloyd.

Albert.

No, no.

RUMBLE We're about to do some sword practice.

No, you've been keeping him for yourself for too long.

What do you want to do today?

There's someone I want you to meet.

Who is it?

You remember him, don't you?

It's your brother,

Dian, the fourth prince.

Hey, been a while.

D-Dian...?

I WAS REINCARNATED AS THE 7TH PRINCE SO I CAN TAKE MY TIME PERFECTING MY MAGICAL ABILITY

Lloyd, I've heard the news

that you enchanted Al's spellbound sword.

Well, yes...

Sorry, but I find that hard to believe.

I will see with my own eyes if you can back your claims.

You see, he's a blacksmith.

He transferred at the age of ten to Bartram Kingdom that's famous for smithing,

so he's got an interest in enchantments as well.

I remember that.

He studied abroad to contribute to the nation, even though he's a prince.

That's so admirable!

E-Enough about me!

Just start enchanting that sword already!

All the necessary stuff is already here!

It's impossible.

Enchantment by itself is already an advanced technique,

and he applied it into a spellbound sword of all things?

Not even sorcerers in Bartram are capable of that.

Damn you, Lloyd.

You've turned into a liar in the seven years I was gone.

I'll have to whip some manners back to him.

Would this do?

Dian?!

I can't blame him. Even an amateur can tell.

The enchantment process is abnormal. It's so fast, and yet so precise!

What's with all these layers of spells?!

There's Reinforced Strength, Elasticity,

Cleansing, and even Self-Repair?!

This... This means...

You're the real deal, Lloydy-boy.

Lloydy-boy?

With your help, we might be able to realize it!

My dream of making the ultimate spellbound sword!

The ultimate spellbound sword?

It's different from just an enchanted sword!

You inscribe magic into them during the smithing process,

so you can apply even more advanced spells!

It can only be crafted by the union of a sorcerer and a blacksmith!

You see, Lloydy-boy,

I've always been fascinated with magic since I was a kid.

But it wasn't for me.

I have no talent for it.

But spellbound swords are amazing!

They allow anyone to shoot fire and cause a storm with a single swing!

I wish that everyone in this nation could own a spellbound sword and use magic!

A spellbound sword that allows everyone to use magic...

It won't help me much,

but I'm curious about how to make one.

Let's do it, Dian!

Yeah! Call me "Boss"!

- I have a business to attend... - Boss!

Boss, what spell should we apply?

Let's do fire.

I want a sword that shoots fire when you swing it.

ROAR Nothing cooler than that.

ROAR Then let's use Infernal Fireball.

That's impossible.

Infernal Fireball is fourteen verses.

A spellbound sword can only have five verses at most.

Then I'll compress it into two verses.

Done.

- Here comes the first half. - O-okay...

It broke the moment it was placed!

Was the spell too heavy?

I'll try to make it less dense, that means three verses, no, four verses...

Let me try again!

I'll make another one!

Stare...

It broke again.

I'm sorry.

I've wasted so much mana essence...

But why?

I already simplified it into a regular fireball.

Why does it keep breaking?

It's not like him to have so much trouble...

Don't worry, Lloydy-boy!

I'll hammer your spells into the steel, no matter what.

Boss...

Master Lloyd.

What is it, Grim?

This mana essence...

No need to feel bad! Just keep going at it!

Besides, that mana essence was super cheap anyway!

OH! I'LL BUY IT! SUPER SALE

Water-class spell, Purification!

As expected, there's barely any haematide in it.

SLUDGE It might be usable for normal enchantment,

SLUDGE but it's not pure enough for spellbound swords.

So mana essence also has varying qualities, huh?

Do you have any haematide around, Boss?

The stuff that's made from monster cores, right?

Don't have any. They're rare, after all.

I thought so...

No other choice,

DUNGEON I'll probably sneak into a dungeon

DUNGEON and hunt monsters again...

Oh, then how about we go to a dungeon and hunt monsters?

W-What are you saying, Sylpha?!

I'm a prince, so there's no way I would ever...!

After our monster hunting expedition, I made a suggestion to the king.

In order to broaden your horizons,

it would be useful for you to see more of the world outside.

His Majesty was very agreeable to the idea.

Why not take your first step as an adventurer

at the adventurer's guild!

So, how it's going?

Welcome to the adventurer's guild.

My name is Katarina.

To register, we will need your name, age, residence, and job.

You can put your real information.

NAME: LLOYD; AGE: 10; Once you finish filling out the form,

NAME: LLOYD; AGE: 10; please place your hand on this crystal.

RESIDENCE: SALOUM KINGDOM; JOB: SORCERER It will measure your abilities

RESIDENCE: SALOUM KINGDOM; JOB: SORCERER determine your adventurer rank.

The ability-meter crystal...

Right, they also used this when I entered the magic academy in my previous life.

It's imbued with a minuscule amount of mana.

When someone touches it, the mana courses through their body,

and uses that info to measure their status.

BAM It's off the chart?!

If I touch it now, I'm sure it'll blow up in my face!

That is not good! I'll stand out too much!

In any case, I have to further suppress the mana that I've always kept down.

Make it smaller, even fainter...

Compress it down to the level of a plankton...

TAP Compress it down to the level of a plankton...

ENDURANCE: F; STAMINA: F; DEXTERITY: F STRENGTH: F; MAGIC: A

OVERALL: E

Look at that! An overall E!

Even the biggest chump would at least get a D!

No, this is actually incredible.

An A in magic?

That's the level of an expert sorcerer!

That's odd.

I already suppressed my magic to even less than a tenth...

There's no mistaking it!

Mr. Lloyd has the potential to rival even the Silver Blader!

He can rival the Silver Blader?!

You mean the mythically powerful warrior that vanquished innumerable dungeons?

The legendary swordswoman who rose to rank A

who then suddenly quit adventuring?

There's no way some rank E kid can be her equal!

Miss Katarina, we would like to apply for a dungeon quest right away.

Dungeon quests are only available

if you have at least a rank B adventurer in your party.

I can re-register to fulfill that requirement.

Now now,

why don't you leave the kid behind and go with us on a dungeon date?

You picked the wrong person to hit on.

Ms. Sylpha is the Silver Blader you just spoke about.

What?!

Unfortunately, Ms. Sylpha,

if you re-register, you'll go two ranks down to rank C.

I see.

If you need help,

then I don't mind giving a hand,

Lloyd.

How unfortunate. Let's go home.

Don't go!

How come you always show up?

Didn't you go on a journey to search for Lloberto?

- About that. - About what?

- I can't find him at all. - Lloberto!

- I searched through all kinds of dungeons, - Where are you, Lloberto?!

- and ended up becoming stronger. - Where are you, Lloberto?!

- Before I knew it, - Lloberto!

- I was already close to reaching rank A. - Lloberto!

So in exchange for my help, please introduce me to Prince Albert!

Set me on a tea party with him!

You're such a handful...

So, how about this quest?

- That kid even has Tao on his side! - Hand that poncho back.

- Just who is he?! - Hand that poncho back.

- Just who is he?! - Heck no.

But still,

I didn't know you were such a prolific adventurer, Sylpha.

Pardon me.

I became an adventurer in order to train.

I was still learning back then.

- Besides, there were some foes - Not fair! Not fair, you brute maid!

- that I couldn't defeat as well. - Not fair! Not fair, you brute maid!

- You can't beat them? - Not fair! Not fair, you brute maid!

Yes, I believe they were called...

...the assassin's guild.

SOME RANDOM DUNGEON

How is it going, Dian?

Doing great, Al!

Lloydy-boy should be back in a couple of days.

Hopefully he'll get the materials then.

I see, so it'll take a couple of days...

Wait...

Is there a war coming?

Things are certainly not looking good.

Hang on a sec! We just need a bit more time!

Once Lloydy-boy is back,

we'll mass-produce the spellbound swords, and...!

The reason I brought you two together

is simply to see you two get along together like old times.

You don't have to worry about the war.

But...

But perhaps one day your swords can help save our people.

And that would be wonderful.

So please continue your spellbound sword research.

We might still make it in time.

Boss!

Al, that Lloydy-boy...

...no, Lloyd is one heck of a guy!

I know.

You see, Dian,

whenever I see Lloyd smile,

it gives me strength.

I feel like there's nothing I can't do.

Even all my worries get blown away.

See? It got blown away...

Uh, more like it got obliterated...

I went too far...

I should tone it down from now on...

THE SPELLBOUND SWORD NAMED AFTER DIAN AND LLOYD: DILLORD

EFFECT: FIRES INFERNAL FIREBALL WHEN SWUNG

So tired!

So many things happened lately.

There's the material gathering, the creation of DiLlord,

and then the mass production of spellbound swords,

after I downgrade to a fireball spell.

Albert seems to be in a hurry as well.

I wonder if something's coming up soon.

There's something...

...in the courtyard.

What's this?

There's absolutely zero presence.

It's as if there's a blank void in there.

Shiro is sensitive to this kind of thing, but he hasn't noticed anything.

Alieze here!

I'm going to teach you something important!

It's love!

If there is love, then it's okay to lump herbivores with carnivores!

Next on episode 7: Fighting the Assassins.
