Academy Festival Day 2

Today, the students are being
evaluated on their etiquette,

speech, conduct, and other manners.

The students' manners are examined at a
stand-up luncheon attended by foreign guests.

Misumi Makoto has also been invited and is
reunited with a handsome middle-aged man,

but remains unaware of the
hateful eyes looking his way.

Season Two

Night Fourteen I'm Not a Fan of High Society

Night Fourteen I'm Not a Fan of High Society

Sorry I'm late, darling.

Ah, Lisa.

You decided to wear your blue
dress today? It suits you well.

Thank you. I haven't had the opportunity
to wear it since I bought it.

Ma'am, it's good to see you again.

Aren't you exhausted
from the long journey?

No, thankfully.

I appreciate you guarding my husband
after all you've already done for us.

I hope you'll look after Shifu and Yuno, as well.

We're off to find seats.

They're such a close couple.

Maybe I should establish more
connections with hyumans, too.

You're Kuzunoha-sama, aren't you?

Huh?

May I speak with you a moment?

Demons for bodyguards?

Does she not know? That's dangerous.

I'm sorry, but have we met before?

No, this is our first time meeting.

I asked to speak with you
because I'm interested in you.

She's not surprised by my writing.

She knows about me.

My name is Sairitsu.

I'm an official of the Laurel Commonwealth
who looks after the priestess and Kamuro.

Do you know anything about Laurel?

Not much, but I do know that the priestess
is the spiritual pillar of the people,

and Kamuro is a candidate to become one.

Laurel is a commonwealth of
three nations that became one.

The woman known as the priestess
can speak with high-ranking spirits,

and holds significant political status.

Their nation is insular, and little
information makes its way to other countries.

Their culture and characteristics
feel vaguely Japanese.

It's strange.

Despite your claim to
know little about Laurel,

you're using something our
nation has kept hidden.

What's she talking about?

There are two characters on the
Kuzunoha Trading Company's sign.

It's sage script.

In the whole world, only a few
people of Laurel know it.

Sage script? I've never heard of that before.

If you were a sage, that would explain
how you know those characters.

I'm not wise enough to be called a sage.

By "sage," I don't mean a wise man.

It's what we call people from distant
lands who possess inconceivable knowledge.

In other words, people from another world.

Kuzunoha-sama, are you not a sage, as well?

I am not, but this is how
my full name is written.

Kahara Sairitsu

Kahara Sairitsu.

This name was given to me by a
shrine dedicated to the spirits.

Don't you think it's somehow
similar to the name Kuzunoha?

There's your face, as well.

Sages are believed to be a
different race from hyumans.

Unfortunately, I'm nothing of the sort.

We offer our protection to sages so
they're not treated unfairly in this world.

Protection, huh?

In Laurel, you'd be welcomed.

We'd do everything we can for you.

I see. If I come across any sages,
I'll recommend they visit your country.

You seem determined not to trust us.

We believe the two heroes granted
by the goddess are sages, as well.

What do you think?

I'm sorry, but I can't answer that
question, as I've never met them.

Very well.

If you'll excuse me.

Oh, yes. Your store sign.

One of the characters, "kuzu," means medicine.

Are medicines your forte?

Kuzu is the name of a plant,

though you're right that I want to
make medicines widely available.

Truly, you know much about sage script.

I hope we meet again.

I had no idea there was a nation that was
in contact with people from other worlds.

Is that why Laurel is such an insular nation?

Second princess of the Gritonia
Empire, Lily Flont Gritonia.

I wasn't expecting Laurel to make contact
with the Kuzunoha Trading Company.

Given Tomoki's ongoing
obsession with Tomoe,

I must do something about the
Kuzunoha Trading Company.

They're such a nuisance.

Lily-sama, did you see someone
who caught your interest?

Why, if it isn't Kahara-sama.

No need to be so polite.

After all, you're an imperial princess.

I've given up any claim to
the throne. More importantly,

I'm curious about the person
you were just meeting with.

That was a personal matter.

My subordinates told me his store
carries rather effective medicines.

I've heard most of his
employees are demihumans.

He's even a part-time
teacher at the academy.

Is that right? I was unaware.

Judging by her behavior,

her relationship with the Kuzunoha
Trading Company must not be very deep.

Perhaps I'll buy some of those
medicines as a souvenir.

In that case, I shall procure some for you.

I wouldn't want to see a
princess standing in line.

So she doesn't want me to come in contact
with the Kuzunoha Trading Company.

Very well. I appreciate your kindness.

Changing the subject, could you
do one other thing for me?

The empire is actually developing a new
technology, but we're struggling with it.

I was hoping to borrow your wisdom.

What does she intend to ask?
The empire already has spies in Laurel.

Recently, interest in gunpowder
has increased in our nation.

I was hoping you could tell me
about its handling and uses.

Gunpowder? I'm surprised.

It doesn't compare to magic.

In that case, I'll tell you everything I know.

I appreciate it.

Of course she's wary.

But sometimes, caution reveals information.

Those demons enthralled by Tomoki's
charm can handle the rest.

Mother, where is Kuzunoha-sensei?

Over there.

He seems uncomfortable in this setting.

You're right.

I wanted to get his opinion on my dress.

Right?

More importantly, I hear you've been
acting rather ostentatiously at the academy.

The Rembrandts don't have
a very good reputation.

Y-You looked into that?

Of course I did.

It sounds like you've been
behaving yourselves recently,

but your conduct before was outrageous.

You must repair your reputations
by the time you graduate.

People prefer to criticize rather
than praise, so it won't be easy.

But act like your lives
depend on it. Understood?

Y-Yes, Mother!

Thank you for today.

Because of you, I got to see my
daughters dressed in their finest.

What did you think of them?

Were they a pleasure to look at?

They were beautiful.

I was less entertained and more surprised.

You found their beauty shocking?
Kuzunoha-sama, you know how to...

Hey, Kuzunoha.

That's me, but students should
mind how they speak to me.

What do you want?

You can't be serious.
Don't tell me you've forgotten me.

What? Who is this guy?

You bastard!

Honestly, I have a hard time telling hyumans
apart since they're all so beautiful.

I have no recollection of you,
but allow me to apologize.

I'm sorry.

As you can see, I'm with guests.

I'll hear your complaints tomorrow.

Kuzunoha, I won't let you get away with this.

I'll crush your students in the tournament!

Kuzunoha-sama...

Don't worry.

I won't allow any harm to
come to my precious students.

If you say so, then I suppose we
have nothing to worry about.

So many hyumans are a pain in the ass.

Who was that guy, anyway?

If he's a student, then
perhaps he was one of them.

"Them" who?

Your hint is the Gotetsu Restaurant.

Oh, them.

I'll look into him tomorrow.

I promised your students that
I'd accompany them today.

You mean the tournament drawing?

I'll check it out with Tomoe and Mio.

No hard feelings, okay?

Let's do this.

Ready, and...

How delightful it is to walk
side by side with my beloved.

Keep your perverted conduct in check.

But my feelings are sincere.

Don't stand so close to him!

I won this right fair and
square by drawing lots.

I have no intention of giving it up.

More importantly, about Laurel...

You mean the sage script?

In your world, you call it kanji, right?

Yeah. Do they know Japanese, too?

It's a language spoken in my world.

A little, but it's changed quite a bit.

It's sort of like vulgar Latin.

What?

Perhaps you know it as spoken Latin.

It's like a language only used by scholars.

Um... Is it possible they'd
understand me if I spoke Japanese?

You gave up on thinking again, didn't you?

If you don't try to find answers
to questions for yourself,

you'll run into trouble someday.

Regarding Japanese,
unless a hero overhears you,

there's no chance of you being understood.

Young Master, have some of these.

Thanks. Your recommendations
are always spot-on, Mio.

Thank you.

Mm, I like it. It's like fried chicken.

Another winner!

I shall prepare some of this
fried chicken for our table.

I look forward to it. Oh, and when you do...

Serve with salt and lemon or yuzu aroma. Right?

Yeah. I'm impressed you knew.

Young Master, let's try that stall next.

Okay, enough.
Know your place today, you two.

Where is Shiki?

Didn't he say he'd be waiting at the gate?

We'll have to chastise him later.

Oh, I forgot I had something important to do.

Unfortunately, I'll have to
give up my seat to you two.

He's finally gone.

I appreciate the space, but...

He was clearly lying.

Well, well. So these are the
young master's students.

Pleased to meet you.

Good. A proper greeting.

I am Tomoe, and this is...

I'm Mio.

We've heard about you from our father.

He said you're the two pillars
supporting Kuzunoha-sensei.

Comparisons to Tomoe-san aside,

I appreciate that you didn't
include that man over there.

What? Sensei, isn't Shiki-san...

Mio is right.

In terms of combat abilities,
Shiki doesn't compare to the two of them.

I see.

Not even Shiki-san?

Seriously?

We've still got a lot to learn.

I understand why the young
master looks after you lot.

You all look fierce.

I still don't understand it.

They're fledglings who
have only just hatched.

From Mio's perspective, they probably are.

Good grief. You should learn
the joy of teaching another.

Try not to upset the young
master in the future.

I would never upset him!

You're upsetting him right now!

Don't fight here!

By the way, where is he?

That student hasn't shown up yet.

I've told them what to expect.

I determined that he's Limia nobility
with ties to the royal family.

He's the second son of the Hopleys family.

He's a rather important figure, then.

You have a knack for attracting
trouble, Kuzunoha-sensei.

Hush!

As you heard from Shiki,

you're expected to be harassed by
a certain student during the match.

Apparently, I'm the reason for it.

But I won't be helping you.

You'll have to handle any
interference yourselves.

We know.

That was our intent from the start.

I'm glad to hear that.

Because of your enthusiasm, I'd like to
impose some restrictions on your match.

What?

Restrictions?

Is he serious?

He sure didn't look like he was joking.

He really is terrifying.

What did he tell you not do to, Jin?

Use my dual-blade style.

He told me not to use my bow.

Since I'm in the mage category,
he said to use my staff.

I'm not allowed to use new skills.

I'm not allowed to use my Super Enhancement.

I'm not allowed to use mobility incantations.

I'm limited to using only one type of weapon.

I'm not allowed to use composite spells.

Kuzunoha-sama said he hopes that,
by limiting yourselves,

you'll think more carefully and
hone your strength and techniques.

It's like concealing your trump card.

Our trump cards?

If you're all successful,
he'd like to take on new students

and allow you to advance to the next level.

The next level?

Good luck in your matches.

You're scowling, Princess Lily.

I thought you had business
with me. Was I right?

False-dono,

why would the leader of the adventurer's
guild associate with that merchant?

I've taken a liking to him recently.

Does the Kuzunoha Trading Company have
the backing of the adventurer's guild?

Of course not. We don't side
with anyone from any nation.

No?

By the way, our nation's
hero says he'd like to make

the trading company's Tomoe his own.

Oh, really?

He must be a rather interesting
boy, to like Tomoe so much.

But his hopes of acquiring her were crushed.

Do you think I could defeat her?

The answer to your question is no.

Taking on the Kuzunoha Trading Company is
like engaging the demons in an all-out war.

Are you saying he has connections
to demons, as well?

It was just an example.

He'd be that much of a threat to you.

So Tomoe isn't the only fighter
of the Kuzunoha Trading Company.

You'll be starting your war soon.

Should you be spending time here?

It's not a problem. More importantly,

you previously provided me with information
on Sofia's treachery and the demons' rings.

Why did you help me?

You'll figure that out eventually.

All you need to do is try to create
your ideal world with your hero.

So I should focus my efforts on my
immediate goal of retaking Fort Stella.

If I don't find anyone notable at the
tournament, I should return to the empire.

Nobles are truly terrifying.

Poison

In less than a day, they were
already plotting sabotage.

Laxative

Assassin

Kuzunoha

Though I was able to stop all their attempts,
it was a nuisance nonetheless.

The merchant's guild?

You're to head there immediately.

Fortunately, the guild representative
is an old friend of mine.

I'll go there for you.

But Shifu and Yuno's matches are today.

Thank you, Rembrandt-san.

It's nearly time.

Who's the star of this year's tournament?

The winner will probably be scouted.

Really? They did this, too?

In the first round of the warrior category,
Daena faces Yuno, and Jin faces Mithra.

In the first round of the mage
category, Abelia faces Shifu.

The winner faces Izumo, who was seeded.

In other words, your students
will be facing each other.

How exciting.

I was right to buy lots of snacks.

The Hopleys have even more influence than
I thought if they can arrange opponents.

The academy itself doesn't play fair, either.

I've lied and deceived every time
I've dealt with people like them.

Maybe it finally caught up to me.

It's never going to end.
I think I'm approaching my limit.

The Rotsgard Academy
tournament will now begin!

Night Fifteen: "A Fierce Tournament."
