Shortly after the battle at Limia...

Misumi Makoto returned to the demiplane,

where he was welcomed by the denizens who achieved brilliant success in battle.

Welcome back, Young Master.

Thanks. I'm home.

Season Two

Night Twenty-Five Party Beneath the Moonlight Night Twenty-Five Party Beneath the Moonlight

What? That's all the damage we suffered?

Yes. Our rate of attrition was practically zero, and there were no deaths.

Sorry! Ack!

Neither of the two injuries were more serious than an orc stepping on a lizard's tail,

and we successfully secured the territory of Kaleneon.

Sounds like I overestimated this world's military might after all.

The only opponent worth fighting was taken from me by Mio.

Because I had nothing else to do,

I created a simple cliff to serve as a border.

Huh? You did what?

Young Master, look at this.

Huh? What is this?

The demons' commander.

I believe his name was Left.

Wha—

Stop eating my spear!

Thanks for the meal.

Eh?

Don't do it!

No!

You ate him?

Oh?

My, my.

When I stopped eating before I was finished, he turned into this.

This is the demon commander?

So Io and Rona are his colleagues?

More importantly, did everything go all right with the goddess?

Yeah. There weren't really any issues.

It led to me defeating Sofia and Shiki defeating Lancer.

Also, thanks to Shiki's quick thinking, I can speak the hyuman language now.

He was a huge help.

Shiki, you bastard.

Sounds like you went over our heads to distinguish yourself.

I was simply helping the young master.

Why don't you tell us more about it over there?

Th-There's nothing to tell.

Ow! Too much! You're using too much power!

I guess the meeting's over for now.

We'll hold a victory celebration another day.

Very well.

Sorry to bother you when you're surely exhausted, boss.

The academy headmaster is begging for you to visit.

What's going on here?

Didn't they take over mopping up the remaining mutants?

The academy's forces withdrew right away,

so the elder dwarves have been dealing with them.

You can rest, Shiki.

You haven't gotten any sleep because of Tomoe and Mio, right?

But I cannot allow you to do all the work.

I won't be working, either. Instead...

You can count on us!

Try creating something that can serve as a symbol of restoration.

Understood. Let's go, Mondo!

Yeah. Taking on such massive creatures gets the blood pumping!

Mondo!

Got it!

What a magnificent sight.

I guess that resolves the mutant disturbance.

Yes.

There are demihumans in the city who support the demons,

but I'll deal with that another time.

Huh. So these are the dragon knights of Laurel.

They brought in many relief supplies.

The townsfolk are quite happy about it.

I see.

By the way, we've received words of gratitude from the temple, as well.

Sairitsu-san said she'd come by the trading company later to say hello.

So those are the dragon knights, huh?

None of their knights or dragons are better than second-rate.

I'm off to send a letter to the hero of Limia.

Tomoe, I understand your bad mood, but show some restraint.

The Dragonslayer, Mitsurugi, and the demon commander were all taken from me.

Allow me to sulk a little.

Didn't you fulfill your primary goal of bringing the four seasons to the demiplane?

Well, yes...

I finally finished brewing my sake, as well.

I think I'll develop different types for each of the seasons.

In any case, don't sulk too much.

I'm grateful to you, too, of course.

I'd still prefer you over a hundred or even a thousand of the best dragon knights.

Y-You can be a real charmer sometimes.

Kuzunoha-sensei, how is this a lesson?

We're clearly just removing rubble.

Why do we have to do this while Shifu and Yuno take time off?

Shiki-san isn't even here.

The two of them are helping Rembrandt at the merchant's guild.

Uh...

We really don't have to do anything?

But we could help.

Absolutely not. You two fought the mutants.

You should take it easy.

In any case, don't complain about this.

This is why you panicked over the mutants.

Since you've started talking, I've been thinking...

You're actually around our age, aren't you?

You even seem younger than us.

You're right.

Are you saying talking ruins your impression of me?

N-No!

Your mana is overflowing, sir!

Just get back to work.

Right now, what's important is restoring the city.

There will be no classes for a while.

That phrasing...

Does this mean the rumors about you turning down a full-time teaching position are true?

What? You rejected the set-for-life path of the chosen ones?

But why?

I don't intend to make a living as a teacher forever.

Honestly, Kuzunoha-sensei...

You're such a strange person.

I'm surprised you suddenly gained the ability to talk.

A lot has happened recently.

More importantly, who did you want to introduce me to?

My boss, who I told you about before.

He should be arriving soon.

Ah, here he is now.

I apologize for making you wait.

Thank you for helping Estelle and...

Kuzunoha?

Representative Zara?

Oh, you already know each other?

What's going on here?

What do you mean?

He's the one who saved our lives.

Kuzunoha, allow me to thank you for what you've done.

You really don't need to.

Many of the merchants who opposed you died in this disturbance.

On top of that, I've received orders not only from the church, but from Limia

and Laurel as well, to accommodate you.

In the end, you benefited the most from this incident.

Uh-huh...

There's a lot I could say about your inexperience as a merchant,

but honestly, hats off to you for achieving this result.

Thank you.

In a month, the city will return to normal.

Once this business reopens, its services will be available to you free of charge.

Business? Free of charge? Oh, the brothel...

Wait a minute!

But I'm still only half a man!

You really are an unusual fellow.

Ah, Kuzunoha-dono.

You really can speak now.

Yes. I've been through a lot.

Anyway, what business do you have with me?

I-It's about... the other day.

I understand that it was just an accident, but regarding this incident...

Yes, I know.

Huh?

I won't tell anyone.

Y-You're not going to ask for anything?

I'll do whatever I can, provided it's within my power.

I don't really have any demands.

Oh, and the Kuzunoha Trading Company doesn't intend

to cooperate with any single nation, so don't worry.

I'm sure not everything they say about you is true,

but you certainly are an unusual man.

Sorry I didn't realize the goddess was meddling.

And I'm really sorry Sofia got in your way, too.

Sorry?

When you were watching me through Sofia's eyes?

You could say that was a bit of insurance.

That's an unusually obvious lie for you.

You and Sofia shared some kind of connection, didn't you?

You're rather sharp.

Her obsession with you was intense.

I see. I'm grateful you took care of her.

You're still going to play dumb?

It's not over yet.

You can finish her off. You owe me.

Honestly, you must be off your game if even I can see through you.

Once you've handled that, I'll come back for my reward.

They say boys grow into different people in just three days,

but that applies perfectly to you right now, Makoto-kun.

Kuzunoha... That monster...

If I want to fight Luto, I'll have to defeat Muteki in the wastelands first.

Unfortunately, that won't happen.

Who's there?

One of the sorcerer's allies?

I wish. I'm just a dragon he refuses to be friends with.

A dragon?

Don't tell me... you're...

Yes. I'm Luto, the greater dragon of harmony you've been searching for.

Perhaps you know me better as Banshoku.

Luto, is that really you?

Would you rather be killed by an impostor or the real me?

Believe whichever you prefer.

Is that enough proof?

You knew about me.

I'm also the leader of the adventurer's guild.

I've known about you since you registered,

but I didn't think you were worth my time.

Don't screw with me!

I currently have the strength to kill you!

Don't make me laugh.

Both you and Lancer are merely fragments of the ambition I once held.

You're the throwback I created by mixing my blood with a hyuman's,

and Lancer is the experimental fusion of two lives I created on a whim.

And you two began drawing breath like you'd suddenly remembered how

and formed an alliance.

It was fun watching you at first,

but now I regret it a little.

You act like you weren't directly involved.

You left your blood in the world of people and created a nonexsitent dragon on a whim.

Do you have any idea how much this power has screwed up my life?

When it comes to power, there is no good or evil.

You only became so twisted because your mind was too weak.

In other words, you're just a loser, trash,

a failure who couldn't control her mind or desires.

I knew I wasn't wrong to hate you.

I wasn't wrong!

I'm just copying Makoto-kun.

If he can maintain this all the time, he must have a tremendous amount of mana.

Wh-What is...

You've already lost the goddess's protection.

If you lose your dragon powers, too...

Well, you know what will happen.

That sword...

I see. So he became a sword.

No wonder Lancer couldn't control his ambition anymore.

I-It wasn't supposed to end like this...

Now the greater dragons will be instantly rejuvenated.

But I don't have time to raise children right now.

I guess I'll leave the eggs entirely in the care of guardians.

Now, then...

You miserable thing.

I could leave you with your thorough defeat at the hands of Makoto-kun,

but I'll have a little bit of revenge.

The Laurel Commonwealth?

Why would you go there?

I can't tell him it's because the sorcerer's follower

told me to send Chiya-chan back home to Laurel.

I can't explain the specifics,

but I promise to fulfill my duties as the hero.

Nobody takes me seriously.

You just watch.

I'll acquire everything I desire.

I didn't think Fort Stella would fall.

I know. Kaleneon, too.

I didn't expect them to go after that territory at all.

Neither of them seem to have been hyuman ploys,

but it still gives me a headache.

I can't get in touch with Left, either.

But we struck major blows against Limia and Gritonia.

Begin drilling your soldiers for the next invasion.

I'll pursue the other matter.

You mean Kuzunoha?

Yes. I'm going to have him meet His Majesty.

Well, everyone...

You did a fantastic job in Rotsgard and Kaleneon.

Thanks to you, the academy city has begun recovering.

Eventually, the four seasons should come to the demiplane, as well.

Even if any difficulties come our way in the future,

let's work together to overcome them as we always do.

Anyway, cheers!

Cheers!

Celebratory Barrel

Young Master, thank you for allowing us to go to Kaleneon.

We've developed new tactics, so we won't let you down.

I'm looking forward to it.

I appreciate your continued support.

Um... If there are any demons still in Kaleneon,

can we absorb a non-lethal amount of their life force?

We've not yet been able to form close relationships with the demiplane's denizens.

C-Could you ask Tomoe about that?

Young Master! Japanese sake is delicious indeed.

I quite like it.

Young Master!

Our species are working together to further our studies.

Starting tomorrow, if you could lead our training...

Wh-Why don't we focus on having fun today?

Yes, sir.

Young Master, I tried adding a yuzu aroma to these.

Please try them.

Thanks.

It's good.

You've gotten great at cooking, Mio.

It was worth persevering for half a year.

Uh, sure.

Oh, Emma.

Yes, Young Master?

Have Eva-san and Luria-san already gone to Kaleneon?

No.

They're currently at the mirage city

studying urban development intensively under the Alke.

Intensively? That sounds tough.

But it's to be expected.

They represent Kaleneon.

Eventually, the two of them will lead the nation themselves.

I guess so.

What's the matter, Lime?

Is that enough to get you falling down drunk? Pathetic.

Shut up. You're plastered, too.

They're quite the drinkers.

More! More!

Lime-dono is especially charming.

Glitter, diamond of the spirit.

Flutter, emerald of the heart.

This is so humiliating.

Nice!

Don't look!

The dancers are fools, and so are the spectators.

If we're all fools anyway, then it's a waste not to dance!

Things have finally calmed down.

Indeed.

Anyway, your Japanese sake turned out marvelously.

Hot sake might be nice in the winter.

Hot sake! That sounds nice.

B-By the way, Young Master, do you remember the promise you made the other day?

Oh, that I'd do something for you?

Yes, that's right!

So, what do you want me to do?

I'll tell you.

Okay.

I...

I?

Puh...

Puh?

Please allow me to attend to your needs!

Attend to my needs?

Yes.

Attend...

Attend Class Attendance

Attendant Attention Attentive to Needs

Accommodate Needs Necessity Needy

Needs Attention

Needs Attention Span

What?!

Attend to Your Needs

A-Attend to my needs?!

Mio, you're certainly important to me, but that's just as...

I-I made a mistake! I misspoke!

I-I need you to teach me to polish rice properly.

Need You to Teach

Huh?

Attend to Your Needs

Well, that's no problem at all.

Looks like you want to die.

We're not laughing.

We're crying because we're so sad.

Do you have a minute?

The three of you have fought in battles, worked in the demiplane,

and watched the store for me.

Thank you.

If I'd been alone, I probably would've done a mediocre job at everything,

and nothing would've turned out well.

Tomoe, you helped me contend with foreign dignitaries.

You brought the four seasons to the demiplane

in your impressive first battle.

Mio, you reminded me of cooking.

That peculiar suit... well, it helped me fight a powerful opponent.

Shiki, I kept teaching at the academy because of you.

I was able to

open a new shop, and business is booming.

Because I have the three of you with me,

I think I'm able to remain myself in this world.

I'm not sure if this will do as thanks, exactly,

but I'd like to give the three of you my family name, "Misumi."

If you don't mind, would you accept it?

Misumi Tomoe

I accept gladly.

Misumi Mio

I hardly deserve it, but thank you.

Misumi Shiki

I swear not to bring any shame to your name.

Great. Thanks.

And so, Misumi Makoto strongly felt that

no matter how dark the night,

with the aid of his dependable family and friends of the demiplane,

light would come eventually.

Even on dark nights,

the moon above is my guide

on this path of mine.

Misumi Makoto, poems of the heart.
