Original subtitles

For real, Blurin, that was really rough.

We were suddenly summoned to the castle as soon as we got back from the battle.

I was told we were getting a reward from King Lloyd, but...

I'd never been in front of so many people before. I was so nervous!

And the captain smacked me in the middle of the ceremony for some reason...

But to be honest, I was kinda happy.

I never got any kind of award back in my old world.

Anyway, Blurin, did you gain weight while I was gone?

I mean, no matter how you look at it...

Hey! There you are, Usato.

Gomul? What's up?

Someone from the castle dropped by and asked for you to pay a visit.

Again? Why?

Well, better get over there sooner than later.

Sounded like they were in a hurry.

But be careful if you're cutting through town.

What do you mean?

Who can say?

Wh-What's all this?!

He's a member of the Rescue Team!

W-Wait, everyone! Please calm down!

Thank you for saving my son!

Take these with you!

N-No, I couldn't!

I c-can't carry that much!

Now, don't hold back!

U-Um, thank you very much...

Go on, just take it!

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

#12 The True Face of the Black Knight!

Wow, you went through all that? I'd expect no less, Sir Usato.

No, no. It was hard to get away from the crowd.

Well, I'm not at all surprised, considering your role in the battle.

I'd like to thank you again.

You have my gratitude for saving my comrades.

Please stop! The knights also saved me plenty of times on the battlefield.

And you protected the Rescue Team, too. We all just did our part.

You're such an interesting man, Sir Usato.

I'll be counting on you again if I ever need a bodyguard.

Of course!

You've got a great eye, Sir Usato!

Aruku is skilled in both magic and the sword!

He could join the royal knights if he wanted to!

Come on, Thomas!

It's the truth. Please continue to utilize his services!

Yes, of course!

I-I appreciate it...

My apologies for calling you back so soon, Usato.

I was hoping you'd lend us your strength.

Of course. What can I do for you?

Siglis.

Sire.

We would like your help interrogating the Black Knight,

whom you captured.

That girl?

What happened? Has she been violent during questioning?

No, it seems she does not hold much loyalty to the Demon Lord's army.

She's been answering us willingly.

Then...

However, we've yet to get the most critical intel we need out of her.

We'd like to know the magic system of the commanding officers and their powers.

I see.

She claims she'll cooperate if we meet her demand.

She wishes to see you, Sir Usato.

Don't worry, Usato-kun!

I volunteered to accompany you!

I'll protect you if she tries anything!

I heard that the Black Knight is being cooperative.

Plus, you already lost to her once...

Well, that's true. Only you or Captain Rose would stand a chance against her...

But I can at least be a meat shield!

Th-Thank you for saying so.

I wonder why I was able to hold my own against her in the first place.

The Black Knight has an affinity for dark magic.

It appears that magic was completely canceled out by your healing magic.

I see. We offset each other?

Wait, doesn't that mean...

Was the healing magic I was casting with each punch negated, too?

Yes, that stands to reason.

Commander Siglis!

Has the Black Knight received medical attention?

No, she's had her black armor on ever since she regained consciousness.

No!

Hey!

You're hurt, aren't you?

And pretty bad, I bet!

You're here...

My attacks... You took all those punches directly.

I'm not trying to brag, but my fists can shatter even rocks.

I know you're hurt bad.

Yeah, that's right.

But it doesn't matter. This is what pain feels like, isn't it?

Usato-kun...

She's a hardcore M.

Please shut up for a second.

You wanted to see me. Why?

I guess I just wanted to see the face of the guy who messed me up so badly again...

Commander Siglis, please let me in.

What? But...

Please. I have to help her.

Give me your hand.

For what? Torture?

I told you to give me your hand!

Wh-What are you trying to do?!

That's obvious. I'm going to heal you.

There's no need.

Let me go! Let me go!

It'd leave a bad taste in my mouth if I let you die.

Shut up and let me heal you.

What is this?

It's so warm...

Usato-kun?

It's all right, I think.

All done.

Um, can you let go now?

Just a little longer.

I've never felt this before.

I want to stay like this a little longer...

How can I say no when you ask me looking like that?

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Now, then...

I'll be training you personally today.

May I ask why?

Like I said before, the Demon Lord's army will attack again.

There are some things I want you to learn so you'll be prepared.

I see.

I do want to level up my healing magic.

I still can't treat complicated things like sickness...

There are steps for accomplishing that.

It's out of reach for you right now.

What?

So, more physical training?

No. Your endurance and physicality are just barely over the acceptable line,

so we won't worry about that for now.

Then what are we going to do?

Um...

Captain?

I'm going to punch you.

I'm going to punch you faster than you can react.

Dodge.

Whoa! You actually hate me, don't you?!

I'll straight-up explode if you punch me!

You rely too much on your healing magic.

Of course, I am the one who trained you that way.

It just means it's time to move to the next step.

No! I'm gonna be murdered!

You think you can just heal yourself if you get hurt, right?

But healing magic won't work on wounds made by weapons that curse the wound.

You need to learn to dodge.

Hey, I'm no monster. I'll start light.

You shouldn't punch your subordinates, lightly or otherwise!

You're messed up in the head!

Er, I'm sorry...

I see. So you want me to be serious.

I'm thrilled you're so passionate about your training!

You'd better not block.

This is so unfair!

What a nightmare.

Have I been training too much?

Of course. There was no sudden practice exercise at all.

You're awake. Let's go again.

I shouldn't run away from reality...

Don't worry. I held back earlier.

You're holding up fine, right?

Thank you, ma'am...

We've been at it for three whole days!

Isn't my captain the worst?

If I get close to dodging, she just throws punches even faster.

Yesterday, when I was focused on dodging, she went and landed a critical hit on me...

Don't you think she's kinda losing the point of our training?

Hey...

You just start spouting off the moment you show up?

What are you even here for?

Well, my captain suddenly had something to do, so there's no training today.

And I was wondering how you were doing.

Can't you tell just by looking?

What are you going to do from now on?

That's not for me to decide in my current predicament.

Yeah, I guess not.

What do you...

It's nothing.

Now get out of here already.

Yeah, yeah. Got it.

Your Majesty.

You called for me?

Thank you for coming, Rose.

There are two things I'd like to ask of you.

I'm at your service.

Sir Usato!

Hello, Princess Celia.

Looks like Kazuki's up to something interesting.

Yes.

He wanted to improve his magic and began training like so.

I've been cautioning him not to overexert himself...

Is this what training is supposed to be like?

Sir Usato, that's a rather scary face...

Usato!

I heard from Senpai that you made the Black Knight cry.

I didn't do anything weird to her!

I just healed her wounds!

I know. I'm just teasing you.

Jeez...

There was something else that Dame Suzune said.

She said you'd triggered a... "flag"... with the Black Knight, as well?

Princess, there's no need to take anything she says seriously.

By the way, I heard that they were able to collect the information

they needed on the Demon Lord's army from her.

My father was most grateful.

Is that so?

His trust in you only continues to grow.

I heard that if you hadn't been

on the battlefield that day, there's a real possibility we'd have lost.

No, that's not true...

It's completely true.

If you hadn't saved me, I'd be d—

Whoops!

N-Nothing. I should get back to training.

See you later!

I'll come visit you again!

Do take care!

Right, time to train!

Before that, Sir Kazuki, I'd like to ask you for details about what you just said.

If Sir Usato hadn't saved you, you would be... what, exactly?

U-what was I going to say?

May I know the details?

S-Sorry!

Kazuki probably hid the fact that the Black Knight almost killed him from the princess.

But I wonder what's going to happen to her now.

She gave up the info they wanted, so...

They wouldn't execute her or anything, right?

That guy named Usato...

What is he trying to do?

Why did he bother coming to see me?

Usato?

No!

Hey there.

She's in the same uniform as Usato. Is she the captain he spoke of?

This is the first time we've met while you were awake.

Not that I'd be here if His Majesty hadn't asked me to be.

Why are you here?

You have two options.

The first is to spend the rest of your life in this prison cell.

And the second...

Kill me if you must.

Don't rush things. So impatient.

Your second option is honestly a ton of trouble for me.

It's taking you under my wing and turning you into an upright human,

Upright Human

Upright Human

Upright Demon

or rather, an upright demon.

What are you saying? Are you stup—

I see.

Healing magic really works on you.

Wobble

Wobble

His Majesty dislikes killing prisoners of war.

Even troublesome ones like you.

Also, I know just how much demonkind cares about their comrades.

If we kill a prisoner of war, they'll be outraged.

And enemies burning with the desire for revenge are the worst to deal with.

My mana?

That's a magic tool that seals mana.

What?!

Should you be using something so valuable this nonchalantly?!

We could watch over you in prison,

but it'd be a waste of the kingdom's resources to do that forever.

So it looks like turning you into an upright demon is the way to go.

Didn't you say I had a choice?!

His Majesty told me he was leaving you to me.

No! What are you planning to do?!

You're in no position to refuse.

Good job, Blurin!

At this rate, you'll slim down in no time!

Okay, one more lap!

Didn't I tell you to take today off?

Well, I felt a little restless...

But is that any reason to kick someone?

What's that?

This thing?

What?! Isn't that—

Shut up!

So unreasonable!

Wh-Why the heck did you bring her here?!

Starting today, I'm going to reform her as an errand runner for the Rescue Team.

It'll be fun to train a demon.

Wait, wait, wait... But...

Her magic's been sealed, so no need to worry about her trying anything funny.

And...

I'll be supervising her training for a while.

Just like I did with you.

Are you serious?

Where am I?

Usato?

My condolences.

Come in.

Excuse me.

Hey.

How's the newbie?

She had some complaints, but she calmed down a bit after taking a bath.

I think she's currently asleep in her room.

I see.

Sounds like she still doesn't understand the situation she's in.

Well, she'll grasp it once she starts training.

I'm sure she will.

So, what business did you have with me?

I spoke directly with His Majesty today.

It concerned you, as well.

Rose, I hope to form alliances with other countries to stand against

the threat that is the Demon Lord's army.

I'd like to send representatives to various nations with a missive.

A journey to deliver missives?

That's right. The representatives His Majesty has chosen are

Hero Suzune, Hero Kazuki, and...

You, Usato.

I get Senpai and Kazuki, but why me?!

Isn't it obvious?

His Majesty believes you could successfully complete this mission,

which the fate of the whole kingdom depends on.

I share his opinion.

There's still some time before you leave.

Get ready, Usato.

Right.

Here ya go.

Thank you very much.

Um, Mr. Usato...

Good luck with your work in the Rescue Team!

That's all we wanted to say!

Sure.

Sorry about last time.

We got too excited.

We won't get carried away again.

Okay...

The people of this kingdom are so kind...

This journey to deliver missives is really to protect them.

Usato-kun?

Senpai.

What a coincidence running into you here!

Why, this must be what they call fate!

Yeah, I think there's just a pretty good chance of bumping into people at the market.

I think you've just triggered another flag with me!

I'm not following you at all.

Little fox!

I found you!

I finally got you!

We need to talk!

I was waiting for you. It's time to pay me back.

Healer... Save my mother.
