Original subtitles

These guys are pretty tough!

What incredible strength! But we won't lose!

Show them the power of Rose's personal unit!

Looks like a demon sword imbued with a curse.

I absolutely can't let it touch me.

Sir Nero!

Finished already?

I know that didn't have much effect on you.

Now get up.

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

#9 The End and the Beginning

Goodness. I never expected a little monster-catching to turn out like this.

The subordinates I personally trained are in such a sorry state...

Rose, you and your subordinates are quite skilled.

Where's this coming from?

I'm applauding you.

You're probably the most troublesome group I've ever encountered.

Gee, thanks.

There are no true heroes among humans.

What?

Humans who wield tremendous power no longer exist in this world.

That's what I always thought.

So what?

Did you think you could win against us now that we don't have heroes anymore?

If so, you're seriously looking down on us.

That's right.

But I've changed my mind.

You may become the biggest obstacle to our fervent desire.

What fervent desire?

The era in which demonkind trembles before humans will soon end,

and our lord will awaken.

Though he is merciless, savage, and cruel,

he is an absolute being that promises us mercy, blessings, and victory.

And that is why,

in order to bring triumph to our lord and prosperity to demonkind,

we must destroy you completely!

Even if our bodies turn to dust!

Okay!

L-Let go!

This guy...

Why is he still so strong?!

We are the swords of the Demon Lord.

Even if we turn to dust, we will take our enemies down with us.

Stop it!

Glory to the Demon Lord!

Naruca!

You bastards!

N-No way! I weakened them!

What the hell is wrong with these guys?!

Don't they care about their own lives?!

Shit!

Everyone, stay calm!

Stop it! Let go of me!

No! I'm not going to make it!

Right now, I am a true fiend.

I've urged my subordinates to die, sullying our noble battle with you.

And now...

Move!

You've lost your composure over your subordinates' predicament.

It's easy to read your movements once you've lost control.

This isn't even...

My crimson demon sword cuts away mana.

That wound is temporarily cursed.

No healing or recovery magic can mend it.

Commander!

We need healing!

You still mean to fight with half your vision gone?

But it's impossible to fight properly that way.

We shall finish things here.

Shit... My sense of distance!

This is the end!

Aul...

Commander...

We'll be unbeatable if the commander is fighting with us!

No matter what happens, she'll be able to heal us with her magic!

Yeah! We can fight to our fullest since we won't have to worry about injuries!

I know they believed in me.

That I'd come to their rescue.

That they wouldn't die on my watch...

Aul, you should have run.

Then you wouldn't have been cut down.

But because I was so weak...

Because I believed so much in my own power...

I will never forget the deaths of my subordinates, nor yours.

Disappear here, Rose.

Wha—

Don't screw with me.

You won't forget them?

The hell do you know about them?!

What about them do you know?!

A bastard like you who orders his troops to sacrifice themselves?!

If a bastard like you understood them,

that would be their ultimate...

humiliation!

I'll kill you...

I'll kill you!

Shit! Just a bit more...

I have to be the one to kill him.

M-Master! I'll save you now!

Amila, I told you to stay back...

I'm so sorry, Master!

But I can't leave you here!

What?

What the hell?

A bastard who uses his subordinates like pawns

has one who wants to save him, just like me?

Wait!

What the hell...

What the hell is this?!

Commander...

Aul!

Commander...

Don't talk! I'll heal you now!

That's impossible.

He cut me... pretty deep.

Besides, this wound can't be healed, right?

Maybe there's a chance it can!

It's fine.

I have no regrets.

I was happy to fight as your subordinate.

Don't joke around! What are you even saying?!

I know... the others felt the same...

So please... stay the person we admire.

I won't let you die.

How the hell could I let you?!

That's just the way you are, Commander...

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

The Demon Lord will resurrect in the near future and is likely to invade our kingdom.

A man I fought named Nero spoke of it.

They are probably hunting monsters for that reason, as well.

I see.

That concludes my report.

I also have...

a request for Your Majesty.

What is it?

Please remove me as battalion commander and revoke my knighthood.

Is that what you wish, Rose?

Yes.

I no longer have the right to call myself a knight.

Excuse me.

Pardon me. Might you be Commander Rose?

That's right. Who are you?

Our troublemaker of a son served under you.

His name was Josh.

I see.

I am so sorry. Your son is gone because of me...

Thank you so much.

You brought him home to us.

We got to see him one last time.

He looked perfectly satisfied.

He was a total delinquent,

but he was all smiles after he started serving under you.

We're so grateful.

One Month Later

I heard King Lloyd visited you a few days ago.

Yeah. That was a surprise.

I can't believe he came all this way without a single servant.

It's because you haven't gone out for over a month.

Did he convince you to return to the knights?

No, he came for the same reason you did.

He was checking to make sure I didn't follow them to their graves.

Though dying might be nice, too.

Hey!

Get that overbearing mug out of my face.

I was just saying the thought crossed my mind.

I see.

It looks like the wounds from the demon sword are starting to heal.

Yeah, the curse was only temporary.

Then why don't you make an effort to heal your right eye?

This scar is the proof of my sin in letting them die.

This is my punishment so that I never forget their deaths.

I don't plan on dying.

Aul saved my life.

But...

What should I do with it?

Revenge? Should I go kill that man?

Then kill as many demons as I can?

That's not it, fool!

I should cool my head...

Hey!

Don't get mad!

How pathetic.

I didn't know I was this weak.

I didn't know I was this fragile.

What would they say if they saw me now?

Well, I think they'd laugh at you first.

"That's not like our commander at all!"

Aul...

Listen, Commander.

Nothing ever stays the same.

Everything changes. You won't be able to move forward if you don't accept that.

But, no matter what, the fact that you were our leader won't ever change. So...

There's no need to think too deeply about it.

So you remember what you told me that night.

Then you must remember my last words, too, right?

"Please, stay the person we admire."

That's right! What are you brooding about?

You're our savage battalion commander!

It's not like you to let things get to you.

You'd deck us if you caught us looking like that.

She'd definitely say, "Let's go outside! You need some training from hell today!"

For sure!

That's right.

I keep thinking about their deaths,

but they always looked straight ahead, running forward with smiles on their faces.

This is the last time I show weakness.

So please let it slide, just this once.

I won't falter after this...

Commander!

I'm okay now.

I'll be someone you all can admire.

I know what I have to do.

There will be a massive battle against the demons in the near future.

Many soldiers will be sent to their dooms.

But I'll make sure it doesn't come to that.

I'll create a force that saves lives. A force that won't let anyone die.

I need people. At least five to start.

We'll need at least two healers.

And we'll need someone else like me...

Someone who doesn't just heal,

but a healer who can run around the battlefield, taking out threats as they go.

It'd be impossible for a normal person.

But if I can find someone like that...

Maybe they can fight by my side without dying.

I'm glad I found you.

Why do you look so surprised?

Well, I mean...

I never expected to hear that.

You don't even know how precious your very existence is.

Precious?

Not just any healer off the street can get as competent as you just by training.

Just imagine if all healers were like me.

It'd be the end of the world.

I'm saying it's not possible.

I'm the one who thought of training myself beyond my limits using healing magic.

You and I are the only ones who can do it.

I see.

You, Usato, have all the traits I've always wanted in a healer.

You're capable of something that no one else other than me can do.

I'm sure you won't die...

What are you grinning for? How disgusting.

So unreasonable!

We're almost there.

It's finally finished.

Baljinak is ready to be sent into battle.

Shall we begin the march?

Yes. We're a little behind schedule, but we're sure to succeed.

For my master's sake, as well...

Finally.

I'm so tired of waiting.

I can lead the vanguard once it starts, right?

Of course. Go as wild as you like.

No need to tell me twice.

Though things might be over in an instant.

They're just humans.

I don't doubt your strength, but don't let your guard down.

There are troublesome opponents even among the humans.

The kidnappers.

You mean the ones who steal the wounded, right?

I don't see why I'd have to be wary of people who just run away all the time.

Don't underestimate them. They're monsters.

Yeah? If that's true, this might be kind of fun.

If they can satisfy me, I don't care whether they're humans or monsters.

Make me feel alive.
