Original subtitles

He is now on the way to the academy town.

Makoto Misumi is unaware that the other two heroes

are fighting in battles.

Our hero is back!

Welcome back, Master Iwahashi.

I'm back, Lily.

As usual, you were splendid in battle.

We are close to finally reclaiming Stellar Fort from the demons.

We're allying with Limia in the next battle, right?

That means I'm going to meet the other hero.

Oh my.

Are you interested in Limia's hero?

They say she is very gorgeous.

Don't worry.

All I need is you and my friends here.

That's Stellar Fort.

The war is finally beginning.

A ball.

They will likely confirm the strategy to reclaim Stellar Fort too.

The path to Stellar Fort has been sealed off.

Think of it as a party to raise the army's morale.

They say the hero of Gritonia has rallying calls.

To pray for the goddess' blessings?

If the enemies were demi-humans or demons,

the goddess would bestow blessings unconditionally.

That gives humans the advantage.

Why the long faces?

Are you concerned about Gritonia's hero?

That is one of the reasons.

I heard that he was from my world and around my age.

Welcome, hero of Limia.

Thank you for inviting me. It's a great honor.

Princess Lily.

That's all.

The battle plan hasn't been changed much.

As for supplies and reinforcements,

the king of Aion has provided both as promised.

However, the amount from Laurel is less than what was expected.

I'm sure our party from Limia knows the reason better than anyone.

We got on their bad side because of the matter with Chiya.

Nevertheless, our combat strength is five times the demon army's.

With the blessing rallying call,

victory should be ours for sure.

Any other questions?

Excuse me.

May I know why the battle will be conducted at night?

Because we are good at night battles.

I see.

That's very reassuring.

We barely have any experience with night battles.

Any battle plans and intel from Limia's side?

No, we didn't prepare any.

Well, it's only a minor boss.

The goddess' blessings will buff our strength

while debuffing the demons.

We'll be fine.

Buffs and debuffs...

We must reclaim the fort with haste

and earn the goddess' praises.

All right. Everyone, take a break and relax as we chat.

By the way, have we ever met in the other world, Tomoki?

Not at all.

But you look familiar.

FALL AND WINTER FASHION TRENDS: RESERVED CASUAL STYLE

I remember now.

You share the same name as the model my friends really like.

That's not me, and it has nothing to do with me.

I guess you're right.

I mistook you for someone.

I apologize if I've upset you.

I didn't say I was upset.

Do I look upset?

Not really...

Hibiki, what's your current level?

Me? I'm level 430.

I'm level 605.

He's suddenly showing off his level.

Impressive. You must've been quite active in your journey.

Indeed.

Therefore, stop calling my first name.

You don't have to call me Master Tomoki, but at least call me Mr. Tomoki.

Didn't you tell us to relax and chat?

Sorry. I'll be more mindful in the future.

Can I speak as your peer? I'm not good with honorifics.

Of course.

So, that's you being polite this whole time?

If this were an interview, you'd probably be disqualified.

What's keeping you up tonight?

Naval.

I'm worried a large-scale battle might break out.

I never asked.

Why did you choose to plunge into this world?

Me?

I was fortunate to be born in a good family.

My family was well off.

I could achieve anything with the slightest effort.

Isn't that amazing?

Really?

Did I annoy you when I said that?

No. I knew it all along.

You can at least try to argue with that.

Just kidding.

But I never thought you'd go into battle.

You were the girl who cried like a baby because she couldn't kill the kobold.

It was the first time I'd tasted a defeat in my life.

It was the first time I could entrust my life to someone.

There will be worse hardships and challenges ahead of us.

However, I don't regret coming to this world.

Hibiki...

Now, then, it's about time we turn in.

We have a war to fight tomorrow.

Yes.

The goddess of great beauty,

I pray for our victory in this sacred war!

Please bestow upon your two heroes of light

and the warriors gathering here your blessings!

Oh, merciful goddess!

Please give the ravaging demons your sympathy

and let us vanquish them!

Protect the warriors who risk their lives for this war!

I have a report coming in.

We have acquired information about the troop deployment

and marching routes of Limia and Gritonia forces.

Just now,

they received the goddess' blessing after the rallying call.

They are moving forward.

Everything is just as I had anticipated so far.

I'm going into the fray.

Inform Io.

The impregnable fort...

The terrain is perilous. We must put our number to use.

Watch out for enemy traps.

I lost many friends on this route.

We lost many knights here as well.

Have no fear! Charge!

We are protected by the goddess!

This is strange.

These enemies are too weak.

You're right.

I was told it was impossible to even reach the fort.

As a precaution,

Mr. Woody, Chiya, deploy a protective barrier.

Cast the levitating spell for high-speed movements.

The gate is opening!

-Charge! -Seize Stellar Fort!

Lady Rona.

The two targets are in range.

Very well. It's time to put their strengths to the test.

What is this?

A magic array!

And a large one too.

Everyone, brace for impact!

Mr. Woody!

Yes!

Did the demons cast this trap?

That must be Gritonia's hero.

Is he levitating with those boots?

Divine Lance!

Oh my, you're no fun.

Did everyone fall down?

What took you so long

to notice that?

The silver boots are only replicas!

It can't carry too much weight!

It's the equipment that's heavy!

Stop fighting.

You two are much heavier than me.

-We know that! -We know that!

Time to retaliate.

Mora, summon Nagi.

A dragon...

You're just a minor boss! Don't get so cocky!

Your firepower is as formidable as the stories.

However, you'll need more to capture this fort.

Mora and Yukinatsu, provide support from the rear!

Ginebia, let's go!

Yes.

Are you the hero they sent?

-I've been waiting for you, minor boss! -Wait!

Attacking without even announcing yourself?

What a rude hero.

Manners mean nothing in battles!

I didn't think you'd go down in one hit.

But I'm not fighting alone.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I apologize if my friend has been rude to you.

Hey, what does that mean?

No. He acts very much like a human hero.

I am the hero of the Limia Kingdom, Hibiki Otonashi.

I am the general of the Demon Lord's third legion,

Demi-giant Io.

What?

He regenerated as fast as the Black Spider.

My opponents are two heroes.

I must use my ultimate skill.

May the dignity of the forbidden goddess,

the injustice of this world,

and the prideful and arrogant

be pummeled!

What happened?

Tomoki!

My power is fading away...

What did you do?

It has a limited range,

but I negated the blessings you got from your adored goddess.

We lost the goddess' power...

I'll grant you a body that cannot die at night.

If I take any damage now,

I'll die.

We must fall back.

We're fighting an uphill battle.

Fall back.

But...

Shut it! Do as I say!

Are you running away to leave me fighting alone?

You should fall back too!

We are the heroes.

This is not where we should fall.

We can always retaliate after regrouping!

That's a good point...

To only care about saving themselves...

That's not a true hero in my book.

Is that so?

I didn't think he'd escape.

It's such a shame. You must fight me alone.

I am not alone.

We sent the retreating survivors off.

All the minor grunts have been slain.

Now, prove your worth as a hero to me.

Action speaks louder than words do!

What now? My humans are at a disadvantage.

The two heroes I sent are in an unfavorable situation.

Oh my, what is he doing here?

Found you.

Daybreak has come.

You're resilient, I'll give you that.

Not bad. Your cut reached the bone.

It's stuck!

You let go of the hilt to cast a barrier.

It's futile.

We lack the overwhelming strength to defeat this monster.

How are things on your side?

Everything went smoothly.

I can't wait to start fighting.

Sophia, look at that.

What now?

Is that...

Could it be...

The goddess' power?

If the goddess is casting that ray of light,

there must still be hope!

Everyone, hang in there!

-Yes! -Certainly!

Even with the support spell,

you can barely stand.

"Never give up."

That's our greatest weapon!

Woody, use that magic item.

For Limia's sake,

we can't afford to lose Hibiki here.

Not you, not Verda, and not Chiya.

B-But...

I beg of you.

Let me save Hibiki

and my friends.

It's not fair to say that, you know.

I need to withdraw.

Verda, support Hibiki with all you have!

Wait!

Darn ogre! You really are an ogre!

Chiya.

Cast a powerful support spell on Naval.

Yes.

And the Rose Sign too.

It's begun.

Don't give me that look.

Here I go.

Beautiful! Is that the item's effect?

Yes...

Verda!

Your defense is good, but your swordplay lacks refinement.

Stand down, Verda!

W-What?

I can slay this thing.

Naval, what kind of magic is that?

I used a special medium.

Your job now is to cover for me.

The Rose Sign...

Did she really...

No time to heal these cuts...

I'll take away your sword!

It's not over yet!

I'm genuinely surprised.

To think there is a spell I've never seen in the human world.

I can say the same about you.

Even with this spell,

it's still quite a challenge to take you down.

Don't be concerned.

In terms of combat, I'm the strongest demon general.

It's great to hear that.

By defeating you,

we can make a huge leap forward.

Do not underestimate your foe!

Yeah! Never underestimate your foe!

Got you!

Well done.

You managed to force me into

using my full might in this fight!

You two, back down!

This can't be real.

He still has a second phase?

I don't mean to spoil the mood, but this is real.

Woody!

W-What?

I'm going to use high-speed movements. Chiya, I need your support.

But...

Wait! Naval is still fighting!

Woody! Stop the magic! Now!

Stop!

No!

Let go of me! Let go!

Hibiki, Naval activated the Rose Sign.

She acquired the power that exceeded her limits,

but the cost was her life force.

Her life force...

It seems you're no longer fit for battle.

I'm going to pursue the heroes.

Not while I'm around.

You haven't seen my full power.

I used to be a woman who only killed in battles.

I found comrades who treated me like family

and friends I could entrust my life to.

Whatever the case is,

it's my fate to die a worthless and brutal death!

I, Naval Polar, can decide where I'll die!

I'll die a meaningful death!

I can die knowing I'll live on in the memories of my friends.

This is a luxury beyond measure for a sword-wielding ogre!

You want to be a martyr?

Death Reward.

Show yourself, Death Inferno.

This is...

Hibiki, I had a great time.

No...

Naval...

Naval!

Maybe I should've stayed with the hero from Limia.

Nonsense, you made the right call.

It's the wish of Gritonia's people

that their hero survives.

Y-You have a point.

I'll become stronger.

Strong enough to fight without the goddess' blessing.

I have to become stronger.

Yes.

I'll stand by you, just as you wish,

Master Tomoki.

Wake up already.

We still have to repair hell.

That was rather impressive.

Her name was Naval, right?

I will remember that name.

More importantly, Sophia has been defeated.

What? The dragon slayer fell?

She probably died from the goddess' light.

Who knows what kind of monster she has summoned this time?

Young Master!

Mio!

Stop using your healing power so recklessly.

You could lose your arm!

I don't care!

I don't care about my life.

You...

At the time, Makoto Misumi knew nothing about

the hero who ended that war

or how his followers saved him.

Now, back to the present.

They have finally reached the destination of their journey,

the academy town.

The fourth night. "How Did I Become A Lecturer?"
