Original subtitles

Well, is the Young Master finally going to intervene in this world?

Who knows?

I think...

...he is unaware of how powerful he is at this point.

I wouldn't be surprised if he took action in the first place.

The Young Master upholds values and has experience from the past.

Values?

So?

Will he finally undergo some changes?

There hasn't been any drastic change in his heart.

The Young Master has yet to have found the role he should play in this world.

Really?

What a shame.

But in terms of strength and power, he is fully developed.

Even a Greater Dragon such as yourself could barely leave a scratch on him.

Is that so?

That's how powerful he's become.

He just might be the one...

...to defeat the goddess.

TSUKIMICHI -MOONLIT FANTASY- SEASON 2

NIGHT 18: THE ACADEMY HAS FALLEN

Abelia...

I didn't expect her to defeat Ilumgand.

I failed to save the knight...

and couldn't turn Master Ilumgand back to normal.

I'm terribly sorry.

Kuzunoha, do not blame yourself.

The students did a splendid job back there.

I'd love to recruit all of you to my kingdom.

I'm flattered.

Mr. Kuzunoha.

I want to have a word with you after the whole commotion is over.

Yes, understood.

Is this about earlier?

Even though I wasn't going to tell anyone.

Please go to safety.

We are going to evacuate the civilians and must head out now.

Evacuation?

Given how strong you are,

shouldn't you be taking down the monsters?

I'll do that if necessary.

But the academy has combatants to deal with the monsters.

We should focus on evacuation and aid instead.

He reminds me of the hero when she first arrived.

Pardon me, I didn't catch that.

It's nothing.

Joshua.

Yes.

Order the troops standing by within our borders...

to advance on Rotsgard now.

Tell the operators in between to report back to the kingdom via telepathy as soon as possible.

Understood.

The nearest troop is in our kingdom's southern region,

in the Hopleys' domain.

Kuzunoha, please commence the teleportation.

Assist the Hopleys.

Understood.

Young Master!

Are you all right?

Yeah.

But it seems things got hairy on your side.

It will be fully healed soon.

There won't be any scarring.

Ye... Yes!

She put a full-blown spell on her arrow.

That was a reckless move.

She was lucky to have pulled that off.

Sir...

Jin, well done.

I didn't care one bit about that guy.

I was even angry at him.

But I couldn't bring myself to kill him.

Because he was a human, not an average monster.

It's natural to feel that way.

I wanted to turn him back to normal if possible.

Was that thought too naive?

If you think the naivety was a weakness,

use your remaining time at school to improve.

But personally, I think that is your virtue.

The naivety that put everyone else's life in danger was a virtue?

I can't...

Anyway, rest well for now.

We received reports of...

numerous mutants terrorizing the town and the nearby cities.

There are monsters in our town too?

But how? What happened?

Let us join the fight.

You are still students.

Someone else can take care of the fighting.

Now,

you two...

Your parents are safe.

My trustworthy guards are keeping them safe.

There's nothing to worry about.

Will you do as I say and evacuate?

Yes.

We'll find shelter for now.

They are still excited from the fight earlier.

The King of Limia's honorable invite will have to wait for another time.

Lead the students to safety.

Keep watch for a day.

Young Master, where are you going?

To check the situation on the streets.

It's not safe over there!

Go to safety!

Run!

My... My shop...

The merchandise and our stockpile were brought back to the Subspace.

The sign was put away, but...

This is sad.

Should I take this as a sign to start anew?

Without positive thinking, I'll end up moping forever.

That voice...

- It's from the red-light district. - No!

Help!

Stop!

Is that... an octopus?

A giant mollusk attacking the courtesans?

This is insane.

I'll take care of this creature.

Please head outside.

I'll take you to safety afterward...

I don't know where to look.

Get the girls out of here.

I'll deal with this thing.

I may not look like one, but I was an adventurer.

I am a part-time lecturer at the academy.

I'll regroup with you later.

A lecturer? From the academy?

How awful.

Please leave.

If you can,

please help evacuate the people in other buildings.

Got it.

Don't die, Teacher.

All right, let's go!

Get moving!

Yes!

I'm so nervous.

I'm not used to seeing women dressed that way.

The ladies in this area always bought energy drinks from our shop.

I must protect my precious customers.

Blitz!

Suppression.

That doesn't look good.

Hey! Are you all right?

Yeah. I took down that monster.

The lecturer didn't disappoint.

Are these all the people you evacuated?

Yes.

Where is the shelter you're sending us to?

The nearest one from here is the slum.

The slum?

The slum with a lot of demi-humans?

Fortunately, their leader is an acquaintance.

It's someone I met through my business.

Are you from the Kuzunoha Company?

Yes. I am the spokesperson, Kuzunoha.

So, you're the guy.

My girls often go to your shop for drinks that relieve fatigue.

Thanks for the patronage.

You're a weird person.

To avoid any trouble when we get there,

I'll convince the girls.

Thanks a lot.

The whole commotion will end eventually.

Please hang on until then.

Sorry for the trouble.

It's a bit late for an introduction, but I am Ester.

Nice to meet you.

Pleasure meeting you. I am Kuzunoha.

The student shelter isn't far from here.

Please take a good rest.

Yes.

Got it.

Lady Mio?

Shiki, go on without me.

Are you going somewhere?

There's a matter I must tend to.

Very well.

Please meet up with us as soon as possible.

Well then...

I'm an expert when it comes to regeneration,

so I can sense it.

Is it the scent or just the aura?

There are some signs.

The core has been obliterated.

Poor thing.

I remember you.

Are you Kuzunoha's woman?

Oh my, you can actually speak.

I'm surprised you still have a consciousness.

I am Ilumgand Hopleys.

You were.

I was controlled by the wicked and turned into a monster.

Even so, I lost the battle.

How humiliating.

Indeed. This is humiliating.

Up until just now, I had the urge to destroy everything in sight.

I felt frustrated by my emotions.

But now, everything is so peaceful, as if nothing happened.

Of course.

You are now nothing more than a chunk of meat with memories.

It doesn't matter.

Whatever form I take,

at least I can express my thoughts.

You need not worry.

I will not go after the Five Irons and Luria.

The Five Irons? Luria?

I don't know why,

but despite the fact that I cared so much about her,

my desire to realize my dream...

is much stronger than my yearning for her.

With a set of full-body armor,

I can conceal this body.

I can no longer walk in the sunlight to pursue my ambition and ideals.

But I want to be Lady Hibiki's shield.

Hibiki? Did I hear that right?

Yes, the hero who was summoned to Limia.

What? You're talking about a hero?

That's not the girl I know.

I feel bad for the little girl.

She is so weak, yet she shares the same name with a hero.

As long as Lady Hibiki lives,

the demons can be defeated.

She will bring peace to the human world.

You still retain your memory.

That's a blessing in disguise.

Now I have reason to punish you.

What did you do?

You heard me. This is your punishment.

I have no intention to harm any further.

So?

You caused the Young Master a lot of trouble.

You even disrespected him.

You haven't paid for these sins.

Sins?

I have no means to make amends in this form.

You can pay with your life.

It's far from enough,

but at least I can forgive you.

Perish along with your unfulfilled wish.

Oh my.

I was going to finish you off in one hit.

But you actually have resistance against the dark element.

What a surprise.

Does Kuzunoha hate me this much?

The Young Master?

You're adorable when you're being foolish.

To the Young Master,

you're nothing but a pebble he happens to kick.

So why are you...

Because I can't forgive you.

So far, the confirmed number of mutants is around 80.

The teleportation arrays were destroyed one after another.

The communication network can't operate as usual.

We lost contact with the nearby cities.

Unless we stay really close to each other,

there's no way to talk via telepathy in this town.

The traffic is in total shambles.

The mutants are blocking the paths out of this town.

We're completely isolated from the rest of the world.

That can't be good.

But we still have enough food for the time being.

Our communication is jammed by this magic item.

A large number of these devices were placed inside and outside the town.

Did the demons go out of their way to hide these?

We couldn't detect them until they were activated.

Sorry.

However, only humans have trouble communicating via telepathy.

We don't have that kind of problem.

Only because the form of telepathy we use is based on the demons' telepathy.

Which means they can still communicate under these circumstances.

They thought of everything in advance.

The academy has put the remaining Purple Coats...

together with some lecturers to form a combat team.

They are operating under the academy's order.

The other nations will likely start sending backups and troops.

We should start acting as well.

It's unwise to let them steal the credit from us.

They know you can teleport, right?

Did no one ask for your help?

They did.

They requested that I help them transport supplies and soldiers.

I told them there was a use limit on this sword...

that using it forcibly would break it.

Then, they stopped coming to me.

I see.

Is that why you told them the power came from that sword?

Correct.

Luto and I improvised and came up with this idea.

The bad news is that more mutants are showing up.

I heard there were even mutants among the refugees.

A considerable amount of people...

received medicine and ornaments from the demons.

We must track down...

the ornaments that are the same as that necklace Ilumgand wore.

We confiscate them and quarantine the owner.

About that...

It seems connected to the human experiment we discovered.

Mutants recovered as samples and demi-humans used as test subjects...

tested positive for the same drug.

In other words,

the whole thing could be linked to the organization...

the demons and Mr. Blight were in.

I'm still unsure about that.

But it's confirmed they are deep...

within the academy's structure and are well-prepared.

But what are the demons trying to achieve by sending mutants...

to attack a school?

Are they only trying to throw Rotsgard into chaos?

Do they have another reason to stir up trouble here?

If that's the case, what are they after?

Ms. Bor.

Mr. Kuzunoha.

It's quiet today.

Not much commotion going on.

Great.

There are fewer conflicts with the humans now.

Nothing concerning.

But it's still dangerous to be outside.

Sorry for making you worry.

But this is a great opportunity...

for the local humans to re-evaluate their relationship with your kind.

In that case,

this trying time will leave us with more than just traumatizing moments.

Wonderful.

Cats are wonderful.

Good morning, Young Master.

I don't sense any mutants nearby.

Well done.

I'm meeting up with the defense force today.

Finally.

I can't wait to join the fun.

I'm counting on you.

Contact me via telepathy if anything comes up.

Yes.

Mr. Kuzunoha.

Good morning, Ms. Ester.

That's a rigid way to greet someone.

Don't get so formal with me.

Sorry, that's just who I am.

Unbelievable.

Are you going out today?

Yes.

The situation in the slum is under control.

I want to see how the streets are faring.

I see.

After the whole thing is over,

I'll tell our boss about your good deeds.

That should help your business in some way.

We are just a small company. I feel bad about asking,

but please introduce me to your boss.

Leave it to me.

See you around.

The boss of a brothel?

Could it be a mafia?

Evacuate the people?

You are supposed to follow my orders!

We completely lost contact with two nearby cities.

We still don't know how all of this happened.

Listen closely.

This is the worst crisis the academy has ever faced!

And now... How dare you...

What is he expecting from a lowly part-time lecturer?

This old geezer is unbelievable.

Headmaster.

Princess Lily.

They not only escorted us to safety but took great risks coming back here.

Please don't be too harsh on them.

Our top priority is to ask for his help to end this chaos.

Even you, Lady Sairitsu?

I understand.

However, as the leader of this academy...

For our sake, grant him some leeway.

Since both of you put it that way...

Kuzunoha!

Yes.

You are in charge of taking down the mutants in the northeastern district.

You are permitted to deploy your company staff and the students.

Restore our reputation!

You really saved me back there.

Thank you so much.

There's no need to thank us.

The hero of the Gritonia Empire is probably on his way here.

But there's no sign of him arriving any time soon.

I'm terribly sorry.

Same here.

If the telepathic message got out on day one,

the dragon riders would already be here with reinforcements and supplies.

Tomoe's prediction was right.

The other nations are mobilizing as we speak.

You need not worry.

I will give it my best to defend this city.

Thank you.

I'd like to have a word with you before I return to the empire.

After the crisis is dealt with,

could I send my proxy to you?

Of course.

Tomoe and I will go to you.

Sure. I look forward to our meeting.

We even remained calm when dealing with the headmaster.

Things are off to a great start.

The northeastern district he's sending me to...

also has a Merchant Guild office.

I hope I don't get any mistreatment there.

Don't be silly. You'll do just fine, Young Master.

You are amazing despite your clumsy look.

I have high hopes for you.

Seriously?

I guess Tomoe is too immersed in her period drama fantasy.

By any means necessary,

I'll make the city remember...

the amazing feat of the Kuzunoha company.
