Ars can perceive people's natural talents in the form of stats

with a skill called "Appraisal."

The ability to see the talents of others is important for a lord.

He'll have to use it to survive the age of war ahead of him.

Now it's getting exciting!

Go! Get 'em!

Rietz is on Mireille's tail!

Go!

Get her, Rietz!

Mireille! They're going to catch us in no time!

Hey, it's all good!

Episode 12 Oath

If we catch Mireille, we win.

Let's take her with all we've got!

Got you!

They're here! They're here!

Won't be that easy!

They really fell right for it!

I haven't seen a real trap since Rosell's.

And she used them on people?!

A-Amazing!

But...

Mireille!

Those will never work on Rietz!

How vigorous!

Follow after Rietz!

Mireille!

Okay, kiddo! That's your cue!

R-Right!

Get back here!

M-My ears!

Crap, we lost her!

Where'd she go?!

There you are!

You won't escape!

T-Terrifying!

Rietz hasn't stopped! He's actually gotten angrier!

Shucks, he's still on our tail after all that?

We haven't gotten the newbies' signal yet, though...

Almost there!

Now! You've got her!

Look at her run, with Lord Ars clinging to her back like that...

Go, Rietz!

Beat the crap outta Mireille!

Lady Licia?!

Don't you agree, Jean?

Hey, Wren.

What is it, Kreiz?

Where'd our brother's soldiers go?

That's a good question...

Hey, we're getting further separated than we meant to.

Shouldn't we hurry and catch up with 'em?

No...

Their reason for rushing ahead could be due to an emergency situation.

Which means we should actually keep our distance from Rietz's unit right now.

There he is! It's Rosell!

Launch the signal!

Huh?

That's only half of them...

Are the others dealing with Rietz?

If so, there's no chance of reinforcements showing up.

With equal numbers, we should have the advantage!

Fight back now!

You got it.

We'll take these newbies out in no time!

It's true that we can't beat you one-on-one.

Mireille said as much.

Hey, newbies.

Those other guys made a point of saying how weak you were.

Well...

That's understandable.

They are stronger, it's true.

But doesn't it tick you off?

Don't you want to make those big, tough veterans eat their words for once?

So...

It's two...

...against one!

Get them!

Almost all of them are here?!

That means Rietz's unit must be...

...facing Mireille all by herself?

Knowing Rietz and Rosell, they'll probably split up.

I'll lure Rietz and his men away.

While I do, all of you go after Rosell together!

We're outnumbered...

They're beating us!

Rosell...

We gotta run!

They're getting away! After them!

We'll meet up with Rietz!

Get them!

Come back here!

Let's trust that Rietz will take down Big Sis Mireille

and buy him some time!

Rosell, cover your ears!

That'll be Charlotte. Nice!

Now we know exactly where Rosell is.

Surely that's hardly relevant right now!

Rietz is gaining on us!

No way!

That sound just now must have been Rosell's unit.

I thought we'd put considerable distance between us.

What are they doing so close by?

Don't tell me...

W-Wow, that was loud!

Nice work, Charlotte.

Good luck, everyone...

Charlotte!

There he is!

Right there!

Don't make me run so much!

You don't have to take their general just yet.

What matters is getting Rosell moving in the right direction!

Rietz!

Mireille was after Rosell from the start!

Her objective wasn't to provoke Rietz and split up the veteran soldiers.

Her real goal was...

This battle is all but won.

Let us see its conclusion for ourselves.

I won't let you make it to Rosell!

Looks like he's caught on.

Ars, hold on tight!

Time for the last dash!

Mireille, you can still run this fast?!

He's coming.

Wow! I've never met anyone faster than me before!

Rietz...

Lord Ars...

Since that day, I have remained by your side to repay your faith in me.

I need you, Rietz!

You didn't care about my race or origin.

You just needed me.

I've wielded my sword to make your dreams come true.

In order to remain your most trusted guardian...

I cannot lose to someone like her!

I will catch you!

Well, darn.

Th-They're both way too fast!

I'm getting dizzy!

Hey, found ya!

Rosell!

Rosell, don't stop!

I'm about to take Mireille down!

Ars!

I'm sorry, Rietz!

No escape for you!

He didn't stop!

Forgive me, Lord Ars!

And that's the win.

There we go.

Whew, heavy kid!

Despite our disadvantage, she's this calm about winning...

Really worked me up a sweat.

I'd love a beer right now!

No wonder she was advisor to the late Governor of Missian.

She's incredible!

I'm sorry.

No, it's my fault for failing to stop her.

Yeah! We won!

As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World

It's over, then?

Yes.

As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World

I will now announce the results!

The victor is... Mireille's team!

Yeah! We won!

I can't believe it!

It was all dirty tricks.

We'd have won in a fair fight.

What are you talking about?

In battle, "dirty" and "fair" are irrelevant.

Besides, we had the superior force.

We have no right whatsoever to complain.

We must simply accept the result.

Yes, I agree.

I do find Mireille's attitude hard to swallow.

But she also led them to victory.

That's not something just anyone could do.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to lead you to victory.

I intend to learn more from Mireille.

Rietz...

Mireille.

Regrettably, we must accept defeat.

You truly are brilliant.

I apologize for my rudeness.

I now understand why you made me run, too.

I'll do my best, so please continue to tutor me.

Please help us from now on, as well.

See? It's just like I told you!

She's awesome!

The way this is going... Will Mireille say something to ruin the moment?

Man...

You guys were freaking awesome!

First, Rietz!

I knew you were pretty incredible,

but I didn't expect you to come that close to catching me.

And if Charlotte had gone all-out,

we wouldn't have stood a chance to begin with.

And...

I-I'm sorry.

All I did was run around...

Was it your call to keep distance from Rietz's unit on the move?

Y-Yes.

Of course it was! I knew you had a good head on your shoulders.

You're why that was kinda skin-of-my-teeth at the end.

Boy, I bet we're in for some interesting times.

And...

Ars! You're the most amazing of all for having such awesome retainers.

M-Me?!

Yep.

Some lord of a backwater domain bringing together all these strong kids...

Just what are you plotting, anyway?

Huh? Plotting?

Um, well...

At first, I wanted to build a strong domain that could survive a war.

But now I just want to build a domain where children can live happily.

Okay, got it.

So you'd rather go without war, is that it?

Yes.

In that case...

I guess you'd better become king, huh?

Wait, king? You mean the emperor?!

Well, wanna get started?

I think you could pull it off.

Me? Emperor?

I was worried about how you'd fare in the chaotic age to come...

But you may yet become a great man.

Me? A great man?

You could become a powerful noble...

Or perhaps even the emperor himself.

The emperor?!

Well, the best thing to follow up a good sweat is booze!

Let's get this party rolling, everyone!

Licia...

Well done!

Thanks.

Um... So, everyone...

Well done in the mock battle!

Cheers to that!

Mireille won again!

How many times does that make?!

Sh-She's tough!

You guys have a lot to learn.

How much can she drink?

Sh-She's a monster!

We've seen what you can do.

Can you teach us, too?

Yeah, yeah!

We wanna be strong!

What? But there's not much to teach...

I checked out your training.

Rietz's instruction and training regimen are so good,

I kinda have nothing to add.

Besides, you guys are already way stronger than the average soldier.

B-But then why didn't you say that to begin with?

Point is, I'm nothing compared to Rietz!

I...

I finally understand why you made me run.

If I had more stamina... If I could go faster...

Maybe we would've won the mock battle.

I thought that thinking up good tactics was all a strategist needed,

but I suppose the battlefield demands more of you.

That's right.

You dying on the battlefield means even more soldiers die.

That's how important a strategist is.

You don't need to be able to fight yourself.

But you can't use this if you're dead.

I'll run!

Sorry 'bout that.

That's right, Charlotte!

I want you firing off spells behind Rosell as he's running.

Then he'll really have to be fast.

No prob.

Terrifying... Our women are terrifying!

I'm terribly sorry.

Huh? What are you apologizing for?

Mireille is clearly an impressive talent,

yet I succumbed to jealousy and acted shamefully before you.

Still...

You need not have worried.

She's carved out her own place here.

Yes. I'm glad.

Although...

I think you could pull it off.

Good evening.

Rietz!

Good evening.

Rietz?

Licia?

Lord Ars.

Though it was merely a mock battle, I still lost.

I failed to meet your expectations. Forgive me!

What? N-Not at all. You did fine!

I'm not even remotely concerned.

It absolutely was not fine!

That night, I swore an oath to Lord Raven.

Remain close by Ars's side and support him.

Yet it turned out like this.

I am ashamed.

This hasn't diminished my faith in you.

I look forward to continuing to work with you.

Lord Ars...

I will devote myself to training twice over.

Still... this shows just how amazing Mireille is.

Loath as I am to admit it, it does.

What do you think of what Mireille said?

About... me becoming emperor.

I think it's quite a statement.

But it didn't surprise me.

She said emperor, though.

I could never go that far.

She was joking, surely.

Do you think so?

I feel the same way Mireille does.

If I said I wanted a world without war...

And that I wanted to become lord of these lands to make that happen...

How would you react?

I would accompany you all the way there.

I will clear the path for you, Lord Ars.

Thank you.

See you, Big Sis!

Well, I should be going.

All right. I'll write you again.

Of course. I'll be waiting.

Mireille!

Don't sleep in!

Get to training already!

What, again?

Next! You there!

Rietz!

I think he's more terrifying than before!

Stop it! I'm already running!

I'm gonna catch up!

C'mon!

Lord Ars, there's a letter for you.

It's from Lord Couran. Another summons.

He wants us to take part in his war council.

Mireille, please come along and lend us your wisdom.

Sure, sure.

Can we take Rosell, too?

Of course!

I'm counting on you, Rosell.

I-I'll do my best!

And I'll be there this time, too!

Remember, it's a meeting and not a party.

I know that!

Well, let's prepare to set out!
