[tense music, monster growls]

This is how I'll become...

[intense music]

This is how I'll become...

[upbeat music]

...Supreme Commander.

...a hero.

This is my story!

[explosion booms]

[opening theme]

[BIRTH, YUUKI, AWAKENING]

[prime minister] Now then, let us begin the summit meeting.

First, we'll start with a Mato status report

from our national representative.

[KAMINOGE PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL]

[Yuuki] Every freakin' morning with this cleaning crap.

But thanks to you, Yuuki, we at least get to take it easy.

[Yuuki sighs]

Quit slacking off!

[YUUKI WAKURA]

Oh, come on, just look at that shine, will you?

[classmate] Compared to your housekeeping skills,

we're just a couple of bumbling idiots.

Well, I guess I can't really argue with you there.

- [student] Good morning! - Hmm?

- How's it's going? - Hey.

Here come the girls rolling in late, of course.

It is what it is.

Peaches don't grant powers to us guys.

From day one, we're playing life on hard mode.

- Hm. - [student 2] Wakura!

- Hmm? - Hmm?

[student 2] Can you fix this for me?

Yeah, no problem.

[student 2] Whoa, you're always lightning fast.

Well, it's too bad it doesn't make me

popular with the ladies.

I appreciate it.

Hey, I didn't know you could sew, Yuuki.

My big sister taught me how.

She said I ought to polish my skills

since guys don't get the benefits of the Peaches.

And when I didn't do it right, she would put me in a headlock!

Poor, pathetic bastard.

Wait a minute. I thought that your big sister had die-

Shut it.

[both grunt]

[Yuuki sighs]

[JOB FAIR]

Almost time for me to start a career.

[THIS MONTH'S MATO MISHAP STATISTICS]

- Is this all there is? - [children laugh]

- Wait up! - Work a normal job

and live a normal life?

No, there has to be something better out there!

A place where I can actually make a difference.

How did things get this foggy?

Uh, I can't see anything.

Don't tell me this is...

Ugh!

[wind howls]

[Yuuki grunts]

Wait, am I in...

[MATO]

Mato?!

Okay, stay calm.

Where's that instruction manual?

[narrator] Here's the information

I found on "Mato Mishaps."

"Mato" refers to an alternate dimension

accessible through gateways, also known as "doors,"

that may suddenly appear throughout Japan.

Injuries may be sustained as a result

of Shuuki entering our world

or by civilians accidentally wandering into Mato.

If you find yourself in Mato, stay where you are

and wait for the Demon Defense Force to rescue you.

[Yuuki] Okay, then I just have to stay right here.

[rocks crumbling]

[Yuuki grunts]

[Yuuki screams]

[Yuuki grunts]

Seriously?

[Yuuki pants]

[Yuuki whimpers]

[Yuuki groans, Shuuki growls]

[Yuuki gasps]

Please, not here.

[DEATHS]

I don't wanna die

in a place like this!

[fist crunches]

Ah?

[chain rattles]

Huh?

A person?

[Kyouka] You've suffered a Mato Mishap, correct?

You've gotta be pretty unlucky to get attacked so quickly.

[sword swishes]

Prepare yourselves, vile Shuuki.

You're going down!

[Shuuki growl]

[Yuuki groans]

[Kyouka grunts]

[Kyouka grunts]

Dammit, I knew it was too weak.

Relax, I'm here to help.

Demon Defense Force Commander, Kyouka Uzen.

[KYOUKA UZEN]

[Yuuki gasps]

[Kyouka] Try to stay hidden behind me okay?

[Shuuki growling] Huh?

Hey, um, things are getting worse and worse by the second.

[chains rattling]

- Hop on. - Huh?

[Kyouka] Now!

[Yuuki grunts] Right!

[Yuuki groans]

Thanks, by the way!

Don't talk, you'll bite your tongue!

[Shuuki growls] Huh?

[Yuuki yelps]

[gun fires, tires screech]

[Himari] Commander!

Himari Azuma, Nei Okawamura,

and Shushu Suruga, Seventh Squadron, reporting for duty!

[HIMARI AZUMA / SHUSHU SURUGA / NEI OKAWAMURA]

Status report.

[Nei] We have yet to locate any other survivors in the vicinity.

[Kyouka] Expand the search radius.

[all] Yes, ma'am!

[power resonating]

[Nei gasps]

A hoard of Shuuki are bearing down on us,

coming from our six and nine o'clock.

Handle them for me.

I'll get this survivor to safety.

[girls] Roger!

- [Himari] Hey, boy! - Huh?

If you want to survive,

you'd better do as you're told

and follow the commander's orders to a T.

[Yuuki gasps]

[tires screech]

Get out of my way! [gun fires]

[tense music]

[Shushu screams]

[Yuuki groans]

[Yuuki] Of all the women who've gained powers from the Peaches

that grow exclusively in Mato,

these women are the best when it comes to combat,

the Demon Defense Force.

[Yuuki yelps]

[weapon slashes]

I've only heard rumors, but here they are!

[upbeat music]

[gunfire]

That takes care of that.

Is he all right?

He's unconscious, but he doesn't have any injuries.

[Himari] Nice job, Nei.

We couldn't have found him without you.

Hang in there just a little longer.

Okay, I'll try.

Man, that fight wore me out.

Stamina isn't your forte, is it?

That's funny.

The commander tells me that all the time.

[Nei] Hey, do you think the commander

and that boy are back at the dorm yet?

[Himari] Probably, we can't go back yet.

We've got this kid to tend to.

Let's hurry up and get the last site checked out.

Sure thing.

- That works for me. - Himari,

I missed out on seeing the commander's sword skills.

An unfortunate yet necessary evil.

[Nei] Oh, good, you're awake now.

You were involved in a Mato Mishap.

My sister! Where's my sister?

[all] Huh?

[Yuuki] Hey, how did you manage to-

[Kyouka] In the event of a Mato Mishap,

victims are advised to take the following three measures.

- Huh? - One: Hold your breath

and await rescue.

Two: If you happen to cross a Shuuki,

prioritize personal safety and run as far away as possible.

And the third measure is to keep your mouth shut.

[Yuuki] Mm...

[Yuuki groans] Why did we stop?

[girl screaming] Help!

[dramatic music]

No!

That's that girl!

[dramatic music continues]

[girl screams]

[Kyouka] Dodge to the right!

[Shuuki growls]

This thing moves too slow!

[sword slashes]

[girl screams]

Help me!

[Yuuki grunts]

[talisman rings]

[explosion booms]

I've erected a basic barrier.

There's no need to panic.

[Yuuki and girl gasp]

[Yuuki] But...

If I was alone, it wouldn't matter how this ends.

[both gasping]

[Kyouka chuckles]

The Peaches' gift, even I know I got stuck

with a lousy ability.

[Kyouka grunting]

[trainee 1] Sure, Kyouka's strong,

but look at what her ability is.

[trainee 2] She'll never be Supreme Commander,

not in a million years.

I'll show them.

I will become the Supreme Commander in charge

of all the other commanders!

[talisman sizzling]

I've never tested it on a man.

I always thought it'd be impractical.

I've got a decision to make.

Hey, what's your name?

Huh? I'm Wakura. Yuuki Wakura.

Yuuki, in order for us to escape,

there's something I need you to do.

[Yuuki] What, really?

I'll do whatever it takes to survive!

[Kyouka] I like your attitude.

In that case,

starting now, you're going to be my slave.

Huh?

Hello, can you give us a little room, sweetie?

And I need you to close your eyes.

[girl] Okay, sure...

Thank you.

If you have enhanced strength,

we'll have a shot at making it out of here alive.

Huh? You want me to fight those things?

I can't do that! [Yuuki grunts]

You said you'd do whatever it takes to survive, right?

[Shushu] Down there!

Commander!

[glove rustles]

It's time to bow down.

[Yuuki sighing]

Then, despite never even

having touched a girl before,

on instinct, as if it were only logical,

she held out a finger towards me, and I licked it.

[collar clanks]

[Yuuki groans]

[chains rattle]

[shattering]

[ETERNAL CHAINS: SLAVE]

Yuuki.

[girl gasps]

Did that boy...

turn into the commander's slave?!

[intense music, Yuuki groans]

[Yuuki yells]

Incredible.

I didn't think it would work this well.

[Kyouka gasps]

It's time for you to show me what you can do!

Go, Yuuki!

[Yuuki roars]

[Yuuki grunts]

[slashing]

Jump to the left!

He's fast as lightning!

[Kyouka] Take care of her.

Mm-hmm! You got it!

- Big Sis! - Ryouta!

- [Himari] Commander! [Kyouka gasps]

[Shushu] That's huge!

[Kyouka] I'll tie up the loose ends.

You and the kids take cover.

[Himari] Yes, ma'am!

Get in there, Yuuki!

Use your strength and crush that thing!

[Yuuki roars]

[Kyouka and Yuuki shout]

[explosion booms]

[Himari and Shushu groan]

Amazing!

[intense music]

Who the hell is he?

Where did he come from?

[Kyouka chuckles]

[chains rattle]

[Yuuki grunts]

[Yuuki coughs]

[Yuuki] Where the heck did that come from?

Commander!

- [Kyouka] Head back without me. - What?

He and I need to have a conversation.

Ah, yes, of course.

You surprised me.

I never would've guessed you had it in you.

Perhaps we should make your job as my slave

a permanent arrangement.

Ah! A permanent slave?!

But before that, there's a caveat to my ability

we'll need to discuss.

Huh?

[Yuuki gasps]

[gentle music]

[both sigh]

So that's how it's going to be, huh?

[Yuuki] What?

[Kyouka] The price of my ability.

As the master, I must compensate my slave

with a reward befitting their work

each time they carry out a task.

A reward?

My reward is a kiss?

You worked very hard out there.

Would you like another one?

No, no, I think I'm good!

Y-you're the one who saved my life!

So there's no need to- [Yuuki grunts]

[Kyouka grimacing]

Look, I'm sorry.

I never expected something like this to happen either.

When those Shuuki were my slaves,

they were happy being paid in slices of pork.

Hey, what are you doing?

My body moves automatically regardless of how I feel,

and there's nothing I can do.

It's the price of my ability.

I'm usually indifferent towards this type of behavior.

[Kyouka moans]

[gentle music]

[Yuuki stammering]

[gentle music ends]

We successfully recovered two survivors.

Please stand by for extraction.

[dispatcher] Roger that.

My first kiss.

Who'd have thought it would happen in Mato?

- [Kyouka] The Shuuki... - Huh?

If even one of them were to appear in the real world,

there would be dozens of casualties.

My goal is to become Supreme Commander

of the Demon Defense Force

and exterminate those creatures for good.

Our current commander is too lenient.

With your help, I believe I can make

the most out of my ability.

Actually, I think I'm in the running for the position now.

Please come work for me, Yuuki.

Huh?

Um...

I'm not particularly good

at stuff like sports or academics.

My housekeeping skills are the only thing

I have confidence in, but-

I'm all for a guy who knows how to keep things clean!

- Huh? - But there's more to you.

You risked your life to protect that girl.

I suppose you aren't so bad for a man.

[Yuuki gasps]

Well...

Then in that case, yes,

I want to be a hero in Mato!

[Kyouka gasps]

Then it's settled.

[triumphant music]

[Yuuki] Even if I get a job in the real world,

all that's waiting for me is a life of boring mediocrity.

But in this world, I can fight against the Shuuki.

And I can avenge my big sister's death.

Plus...

as long as I get my reward from Miss Kyouka,

then it will all be worth it.

[triumphant music]

[tense music]

This is the Demon Defense Force's dorm?

[DEMON DEFENSE FORCE 7TH SQUADRON DORM]

It kind of reminds me of an old-timey inn.

It was built according

to Mato's unique mystical properties.

It's also surrounded by a powerful barrier.

[barrier warbles]

This is where we deal with all the boring red tape.

Let's head inside.

You can take a look at your brand-new workplace.

Got it.

[Yuuki] Of course, I get to be a member of...

the Demon Defense Force!

[Nei] Welcome home!

The siblings we rescued are back home with their parents.

[Kyouka] Good.

[Shushu] So who is he?

- Hmm. - Everyone meet Yuuki Wakura.

- He's our new caretaker. - Huh?

[CARETAKER]

[all] Huh?!

Whoa, hold on a minute.

I'm the caretaker?

Of course, during combat, you will be my slave.

But at all other times you will tend to the dorm's needs.

- Huh? - Really?

I went to an all girls school,

so I've never gotten a good look at a man before.

This ought to be fun!

Having a new person in the dorm

means he's Nei's junior!

But a man?

A man is gonna be our caretaker?

[Kyouka] These girls are skilled fighters,

but they have colorful personalities.

Coupled with the Shuuki lurking about,

our caretakers don't stick around for long.

With your housekeeping expertise,

- you'll be the perfect fit. - Wait!

I don't get to be on the Demon Defense Force?

Don't be ridiculous.

Men aren't allowed to join.

[Yuuki groans]

- [Kyouka] There you have it. - [Yuuki sighs]

Make him feel at home, okay?

If you say so, Commander.

The garbage needs tending to!

Take it out now!

[Shushu] I'm starving! Make me something to eat.

[Kyouka] Do you mind washing my uniform for me?

[Yuuki] What, slow down! I can't work that fast!

- Huh? - Don't worry about it!

Nei was the last one to join

the Seventh Squadron before you!

As your senpai, I'm here to help.

Everything will be okay!

Oh, thanks a lot.

Um, how old are you?

Nei is 11 years old!

She has seniority over you in the Seventh Squadron,

so you better not disobey her!

[Yuuki] Taking orders from a literal child.

Well, at any rate.

Huh?

Welcome home to Mato's Elite Seventh Squadron.

Ah.

Thanks.

[THANK YOU]

[ending theme]

[all] Teach us, Nei-senpai!

Okay, I'm going to talk to you

about Commander Kyouka's Peach ability: Slave!

She can use someone as her slave for a brief period of time,

but with this ability, she's required to give them a reward.

The Shuuki's reward was, well, meat.

I wonder what Mr. Caretaker's reward is. I'm curious.

By the way, the Commander defeating all of those Shuuki

with a sword has nothing to do with her Peach ability.

It's the result of her hard work and discipline.

No one else can do that.

Anyway, next time: "Curiosity, Shushu, Undress"

Thanks for watching!
