Original subtitles

The demon army will be attacking soon.

Are you telling me a war is about to start?

That's right.

You're going to be on the front lines with me, healing the wounded.

We'll be part of the vanguard.

Th-The vanguard? Me?

But what about Tong and the others?

I heard there are other healers, too.

Yeah, there are two more, but they have a different role.

The right man for the right job.

B-But I don't think I can do what you do...

Well, we have a little more time.

Steel yourself before it runs out.

Can I really do something like that?

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

#4 Rescue Team Member Usato!

How go the preparations to invade the Llinger Kingdom?

Proceeding smoothly.

Our units have finished preparing for battle.

We shall soon begin our advance.

I see. I'll have you lead the troops.

Despite our previous successes, they managed to escape our grasp before.

You needn't fight to the death, but I do expect your utmost effort.

I will do my best.

You're always so serious, Amila.

No matter. You're dismissed.

Sire.

My. Was the third army commander nervous in front of the Demon Lord?

If you have time to mock others, then focus on your work, demon doctor.

Stop using that weird nickname!

Call me by my proper name, Hyriluk.

And I'll have you know my work is proceeding quite smoothly.

I just completed the newest demon-made monster prototype.

Want to come see?

What do you think?

It's highly venomous and has a large body with sharp fangs.

I call it Demon-Made Monster Prototype 72, Baljinak!

You gave Prototype 71 the same name.

Didn't it go missing when we attacked the Llinger Kingdom last time?

It ran away after being wounded by an enemy named Siglis.

It's all right! Number 72 is much stronger!

I hope that's true.

There are people more troublesome than Siglis in Llinger.

Are you talking about the kidnappers? I've heard rumors about them.

That's right.

They stand on the battlefield but don't fight.

They carry the injured away to the rear before you realize it.

In other words, they minimize their own casualties.

And their boss is a healer who runs around

all over the front lines, healing people on the spot.

She's a top-notch fighter, too. Infuriatingly so.

That woman holds a deep grudge against my master.

One day, I swear I'll...

I see.

But you're the commander this time, so you can't go into battle yourself.

I know that.

I plan to send that demon...

The immortal mage of darkness, the Black Knight.

Beds are the best!

I even missed hearing Tong's snoring.

Hey, you awake?

Time for breakfast.

I brought you a few things from the cafeteria.

This is probably some kind of fruit.

You make it look so delicious!

I'll have one, too.

Hey, it tastes better than it looks!

You're such a glutton.

You traitor.

I haven't forgotten how you toyed with my pure, innocent heart.

So cute...

No, no, no!

You won't fool me again, no matter how cute you are!

Fine, fine! You can have some, too!

I know. You're cute, too.

Eat up, Blurin.

Blurin?

Captain Rose.

Is that what you named it?

That's right.

I took the "blu" from blue and "ri" from grizzly to make "Blurin."

Pretty good name, if I do say so myself. Right, Blurin?

Mr. Blurin, that's my hand you're trying to eat... It kinda hurts...

Well, whatever.

I reported the bear to His Majesty.

We have permission to keep him as property of the Rescue Team.

P-Property?

That's how it is.

You can stay, but you have to earn your keep.

What do you want Blurin to do?

Why am I carrying him?

I could understand running together, but...

This is simulation training.

Think of that bear as someone who needs to be rescued.

Someone who needs to be rescued?

In other words, a wounded soldier.

Now hurry up and get running!

Y-Yes, ma'am!

Let's go, Blurin!

This just means I have more weight to carry.

It'll be a breeze if I manage my mana as I run.

Pick up the pace! The wounded soldier isn't gonna make it!

I can't help how heavy the little guy is! Jeez...

What the hell are you guys doing?!

Didn't the boss tell you?

We're simulating the battlefield!

I don't need your help!

The others are waiting to ambush you, too!

Better stay focused!

Damn it!

One Hour Later

One Hour Later

That reeks! What the hell?!

That's my special stink water!

Don't make weird things!

Three Hours Later

Three Hours Later

Four Hours Later

Four Hours Later

I feel kinda...

You, too?!

That's weird... What's happening?

Thanks.

I thought I'd be able to manage for at least half a day...

That's the limit of your endurance on the battlefield.

Humans feel exhaustion from nervousness, fear, and impatience.

That's why you ran out of strength faster than normal.

Then what am I supposed to—

Get used to it.

Acquire mental fortitude and decisiveness that don't falter in the face of fear.

Thank you very much.

Once your mana has recovered,

spend the afternoon running around the castle town.

While carrying Blurin?

Of course.

What?

Hey, look at that.

A blue grizzly?!

Hey! That's bad news!

I figured as much.

Blurin may be docile, but he's still a monster.

Of course he'd cause a commotion.

Say, now that I took a good look...

He's one of them.

Man, I got all scared for nothing.

What is it, Blurin?

Welcome.

How about some fresh fruit?

I'm sorry. I don't have any money, so I can't buy anything.

What are these fruits called?

These are peffles. They're a specialty of this kingdom.

Um, could I ask one more question?

I'm carrying a monster on my back. Why is everyone so calm?

That's because you're a part of the Rescue Team.

We can tell by your clothes.

Well, that's true...

We see scary-looking men from the Rescue Team running around town all the time.

Hardly anything fazes us now.

Yeah, if you can get used to their scary faces, what else could scare you?

Thank you very much. I'll buy some fruit next time!

Since we've gotten acquainted, this one's my treat.

Are you sure?

Lucky us, Blurin!

Hey, that's bad manners!

Thanks so much. See you next time!

Was that boy from the Rescue Team?

Seems so. Is something the matter, Amako?

No, it's nothing.

Since we're close to the castle grounds, we should visit Kazuki and Senpai.

What do you think, Blurin?

Yeah, you're right. Let's do it.

Wait, will I be allowed to take Blurin into the castle?

Y-You there! Excuse me...

Since the king lives there, maybe they'll say no...

Wait a second! Hey!

Nah, just look at how cute he is.

You there... from the Rescue Team...

Maybe I could pass him off as a big stuffed animal. No, maybe not...

Hey, are you all right?

How do you feel?

A lot better. Sorry for the trouble.

Don't mention it. Anyway, were you trying to get my attention?

Yes. I wanted to say hello to my new junior.

I don't usually raise my voice like that.

Your junior?

The captain didn't tell you?

My name's Orga Fleur.

I'm one of the Rescue Team's healers. Nice to meet you.

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

I knew that we had a new member,

but I never would've guessed you were summoned with the heroes.

Well, it's true.

Though I've been training so much every day that I'd nearly forgotten myself.

Usato, it's amazing that you can keep up with the captain's training.

It was impossible for me and my sister.

Your sister?

Is she the other healer?

Yeah, she's five years younger than me.

We run a clinic in the city.

We use our healing magic to heal the citizens.

But you collapsed earlier...

To tell you the truth, I'm not very good at healing myself.

I'm much better at healing other people.

I guess there are all kinds of healers?

Yeah.

But we're still a part of the Rescue Team.

We work under the captain and tend to the wounded in times of need.

In times of need...

You're going to be on the front lines with me, healing the wounded.

We'll be part of the vanguard.

Um, what do you do on the battlefield?

Well, Tong and the others bring the injured soldiers to the rear,

where my sister and I heal them.

In other words, we're support members.

Captain Rose actually asked me to join her as part of the vanguard.

What? Really?

Yes.

But can I really handle that?

In battle, the knights and heroes who fight on the front lines

are always in the greatest danger.

When they fall injured and get left behind, normally all they can do is wait for death.

But if there are healers running around on the battlefield, they can be saved.

Of course, it's a dangerous and exhausting job...

But the captain wouldn't choose someone she didn't completely trust.

Well, I need to get back to the clinic or my little sister will scold me.

Sure.

I'll get back to training.

I'm glad we got to talk, Usato.

Before you go, may I ask one thing?

What is it?

Please don't hate Captain Rose too much.

I can't say she's kind by any stretch of the imagination...

But, well... She's just clumsy with people. That's all.

Don't worry.

I never hated her.

Even if I do have a bone or two to pick.

See you later!

Yeah. See you.

So you finally found someone, Captain Rose.

There you are, Brother!

Seriously, going out on your own? Do you want to die?!

What? I'm not that weak.

Why do you look so doubtful?

More importantly, I met an interesting boy.

Yeah? How so?

You'll see for yourself soon, Ururu.

I'm sure you'll like him very much.

Um, I'd like to enter...

Can this little fellow come with me?

You're Sir Usato from the Rescue Team, are you not?

You may enter with the blue grizzly.

Monsters are allowed into the castle? Really?

Yes, Captain Rose has vouched for it. Please, go right in.

Thank you very much.

A lot of people sure trust Rose...

Press farther forward!

Yes, sir!

You there! You're completely open below!

It's Usato-kun! Hey!

What is that fluffy blue creature?

This little guy?

It's a blue grizzly cub.

Actually, I did some survival training in a forest infested with monsters, and...

Are you listening, Inukami-senpai?

U-Usato-kun...

Is it all right if I touch it?!

Yeah, go ahead. He's super tame.

I'll heal you if you get bitten.

You say some scary things.

Well, I'm supposed to be the heroine, so animals should love m—

H-He's just a little shy!

Don't let it get you down!

I'm not!

I'm just savoring the feel of its toe beans!

R-Really?

Hey, why don't you try calling his name?

I'm sure that'd do the trick! His name is Blurin.

Wow, what an excellent-sounding name!

Let's be friends, Blurin—

Maybe you just have a tainted soul, Senpai.

Hey, Blurin. That's enough.

Does this mean your soul is tainted, too?

Seems that way.

It feels like I haven't seen you in ages, Usato-kun.

Right?

Senpai, your hand...

It isn't too bad.

I just got overzealous with the sword training.

You have to treat wounds properly.

There. All healed.

That's amazing.

This much is nothing.

Usato-kun...

Did you come to see me today?

Yeah. I came to visit you and Kazuki.

Your overt honesty is your only flaw.

Never mind. Kazuki-kun isn't here today.

I'm sure he's outside the kingdom by now.

He went to gain experience fighting monsters with Siglis and the others.

Commander Siglis, is it true that the Demon Lord's army will attack soon?

Yes.

I'm sure they'll bring more powerful forces with them this time.

However, we have you and Dame Suzune.

The troops' morale is soaring now that we have two heroes on our side.

Victory will be ours.

You're right. I'll do my best.

Hang wolves!

Sir Kazuki!

Yes!

I hope Kazuki is all right.

Well, it's only for a few days.

Once Kazuki-kun returns, it'll be my turn to gain some experience.

I can't wait.

Yeah, I'm sure you'll have the time of your life. I can see it now.

I wish you'd worry about me, too!

Of course I'm worried about you.

That was too half-hearted!

Well, Senpai...

I should get going.

Yeah. Good luck on your training.

Same to you. Later.

Usato-kun, have you noticed how frank you've grown with me?

But that's fine. It's not such a bad feeling.

Kazuki went out to train...

Senpai is working her hardest, too.

All because the day they go off to battle is drawing near.

Since they're going to war, I want to help them.

I don't want to hide in safety while they're in danger.

Back home, all I could do was admire people who could do things that I couldn't.

But I'm not that person anymore.

Goodnight, Blurin.

Usato.

How was the training? Did you get used to it?

Well...

A bit, I guess.

But I want to train a little longer.

I see. Then keep going.

Okay.

Um, Captain Rose.

About what you said yesterday...

You told me to steel myself.

I just barely survived against that snake monster,

so I was honestly terrified when you mentioned the Demon Lord's army.

If I didn't have to, I didn't want to set foot on the battlefield.

But today, I found a feeling even stronger than that fear.

I can't fight.

I know.

I can't kill anyone, either.

I know.

But I'll save Kazuki and Inukami-senpai, and anyone else that only I can help.

Because I'm part of the Rescue Team.

That's perfect.

We're going out there to save people.

Knock out the would-be martyrs and bring them back.

Snatch up the wounded that the enemy is about to finish off.

Keep those at death's door alive, even if it kills you.

That's our job.

Keep spouting those ideals.

That's how the Rescue Team must be.

Yes, Captain!

That moment was the first time I truly felt like I was a member of the Rescue Team.

Wake up.

His Majesty sent a message over yesterday.

He wants you to head out.

What? Why didn't you tell me yesterday?

He wants you to join Hero Suzune's training outside the castle.

Inukami-senpai?

Okay.
