Original subtitles

I'm gettin' pumped!

Our primary goal...

Dungeon Master...

What was that?!

They're coming!

A horde of goblins just exited the cave!

They didn't make a sound just the other day!

Were they waiting for us to let our guard down?

We're using a skill I picked up from Mr. T. Sabre-Tooth...

Is that Fran?

Sonic Wave!

The King and Queen are mine!

I swear...

Didn't I say not to go in alone?

We'd best hurry after her

before that little daredevil claims all the spoils.

Fran, careful not to push yourself too much again, y'hear?

I know.

I'll be careful clearing the dungeon.

You make it sound so easy!

Besides, we have a back-up plan if things really go south.

Return Feather

You can't put a price on safety!

A beautiful jewelled feather.

Use it to teleport instantly

out of a dungeon.

I'll go as deep as I can manage.

Good girl!

Here they come.

Split Thinking!

We'll prioritise the crystals of goblins with useful skills.

As for the rest, we can either kill them now or leave them for the cavalry. Sound good?

Sure.

Understood!

Nab the two in front!

Okay!

Bodies without crystals will give the game away,

so into the Pocket Dimension they go!

Ignore the next three.

Leave them for the others.

Roger that!

Next one, crystal!

Ignore, ignore, and ignore!

Crystal, crystal.

Fran, you're getting really good at pinpointing the crystals!

Yeah.

I'm used to fighting goblins now.

Great job!

He said I did good!

Fran!

Ignore.

Crystal.

Ignore.

Crystal!

I didn't expect them to bring all the boys.

I think we're good on all these skills.

We don't need their crystals, so...

Split Thinking, followed by a healthy dash of...

Double Cast: Fire Javelin!

Teacher, your Split Thinking is super cool!

And I'm only gonna get better at controlling it.

I had her try that skill not long ago, but...

What's wrong, Fran?

My head hurts! I hate this skill!

I guess not having a physical brain saves me from the terrible headaches.

Teacher, this is...

It's got a second floor, huh?

I wonder how deep it goes.

The boss room can't be far off!

The Dungeon Was a Hack-n-Slash

Skill: Echolocation.

Sense Vibration.

Sense Presence.

Thermal Vision.

⟨ Two hobgoblins detected. ⟩

Two hobgoblins detected.

Found ya!

Take us to your leaders, o friendly "guides".

Teacher.

I hear clinky clanky sounds down there.

Time to meet Their Excellencies, I guess.

The Dungeon Master?

I wonder.

Watch out!

Behind you!

You never fail to amaze me, Donadrond.

You're crazy strong.

That little rascal sure is showing us up.

It's nice of her to leave some of the stragglers for us, but...

You'd expect a Stampede to have more bodies to show for it.

Sir Donadrond, just who is that little girl?

Beats me.

All I can say is, don't let her age deceive you. Her Sword Art and Mastery are already level 7.

She's a prodigy, that's for damn sure.

No wonder the hobgoblins were no match for her.

But at the end of the day, she is still a child.

All it takes is one slip-up for things to get ugly.

Let's catch up to her!

Bingo.

That's some strong Pressure!

Those are the Goblin King and Queen.

This takes me back to the Demon Wolf's Garden.

The goblins back then would also huddle around their King during an invasion.

Teacher, we're going in?

Not so fast. There's a whole lot of them.

And the King and Queen won't be pushovers, either. We need to tread carefully here.

Okay.

I'll start by casting a bunch of spells and thin out the hobgoblins.

Okay.

But that's just a distraction. While they're busy, you run in and kill the bosses.

Okay. Got it.

Here we go!

Split Thinking straight into a Double Cast:

Flare Blast!

Fire Javelin!

And... go!

Huh?!

O-Oh, w-was I wrong? Were they actually...

total pushovers?

Err, well, h-have I told you how good you look today, F-Fran?

Teacher, you big dumdum.

I really, really wanted to fight the Goblin King, but you...

I-I'm so sorry!

You stole my kills.

Well...

Killstealer!

Oh! How about you fight the other gobbies?

They ran!

Scattered like the little cowards they are.

Teacher, does that mean the quest's over now?

Good question.

If they were Dungeon Masters, I'd expect more oomph with their demise.

A door? I think this dungeon has another floor.

Sure seems that way.

Maybe neither of them were the Dungeon Master?

It could be something else.

Dungeon Master...

So I can still kill it!

Dungeon Master, Dungeon Master, Dungeon Master!

I really dodged a bullet there.

Never a good sign when a door closes behind you.

Stay on your toes, Fran.

What are those?

I can see them.

Lots of bugs!

Freakin' bugs!

Those are some hella big ladybugs!

And a whole freakin' swarm, too!

I can stop small bugs like these dead in their tracks with Telekinesis!

You just hack 'n' slash!

Okay!

Thanks for the crystals!

It's like we entered a bonus stage!

30 Minutes Later

I killed so many...

And despite that, their numbers haven't dwindled in the slightest, huh?

Oh? What's going on over there?

Are they summoning reinforcements?

Did you get lots?

Yup, sure did. And it's not just me. You've levelled up loads too, Fran!

Skill "Summon Minion" has been acquired. Wind Magic has reached level 7.

Teacher, look! There's another door.

So it goes even deeper, huh?

Did you feel that?

A powerful magic aura.

It's likely on par with the southern boss of the Demon Wolf's Garden,

the C-Rank monster, the Gluttonous Slimelord.

I'm sure I can win if I'm with you, Teacher.

Definitely.

One thing's for sure, though. What's waiting behind this door is a very powerful entity.

Let's buff ourselves up before we go in.

First, Resist All.

⟨ Fran's status ailment resistances have been temporarily increased. ⟩

Fran's injuries will be healed automatically for a set period of time.

Teacher, you have enough MP?

Yeah, I sapped a bunch of Army Beetles dry, so don't worry. I'm good to go.

Fran.

Once we're back, I'll make you a Teacher speciality. My ultimate dish, one might even call it.

Your ultimate dish?

Yeah.

Where I'm from, we call it "curry".

C-Curry?!

What's that? I've never even heard of it before!

But it sounds super tasty...

I'm already drooling!

If you wanna try it out, you'd better make it out alive, y'hear?

Okay!

I promise won't die.

Hello there.

Welcome to the boss room, adventurer. The deepest part of our dungeon.

Guildmaster Klimt?

Nell? Is something the matter?

I can't get my mind off Donadrond and Fran. Do you think their mission is going all right?

The dungeon has only just emerged.

Rest assured, there shouldn't be any monsters they can't handle.

I suppose you're right.

Barring any major complications, they should return soon.

Fran...

Dammit, it ain't budging!

Fran, you okay in there?!

Answer me!

The girlie's killed the King and Queen already.

So what lies beyond this door must be the Master.

Yeah, probably.

This guy's the source of that powerful magic aura.

But what is he doing here?

There's no way he's the Dungeon Master, right?

power. This monster type is further

bestowed with additional abilities granted

to them by the DM who summoned them.

But don't worry. Strong or not, I won't be holding back.

The fact you're here proves you can take a beating, right?

Yes, because I'm strong.

Seems so.

Stop wasting time and eliminate her!

Damn, you're always so noisy.

You don't gotta tell me. Just shut your trap and watch, okay?

A goblin that can talk, huh?

Gobbies and bugs are one thing,

but can he actually control a B-Rank demon?

You whelp!

Lowly human that you are. You dare kill all the elites of my Goblin Empire?!

Yeah, I do.

Gee, thanks. Now that human town is gonna have to wait for me to conquer it!

Come on...

Well, that can wait until I kill you and summon another King.

I just gotta save up enough Goddess Points for the core and summon all the monsters I w—

Nobody asked, you Dung Master!

Don't make me kill you!

Why won't this demon shut up and just do as I say for once?

I don't take orders from you.

I fight who I want, when I want.

That must be his Nullify Command talking.

Now, ready or not, it's time for the slaughter!

That sword's bad news!

Fran, no!

It's that sword's skill, Shadow Meld.

Teacher...

Deep breaths, Fran.

I healed you as fast as I could.

Can you feel your fingers again?

A little.

They feel a little tingly, but I'm okay.

Sorry, I let my guard down.

No, that wasn't the problem.

He somehow managed to sneak into our blind spot.

Is that one of his skills?

You did a good job recovering from that. I've never seen anyone do that before.

Fran, behind you!

Don't think I'll let up!

Oh, your reflexes are catching up?

That's what I like to see!

I'm certain now. He really does vanish.

Teleport, maybe?

No, he didn't have that skill.

It must be a spell, then.

Maybe it's Dark or Dusk Magic?

He's not just appearing out of thin air. I can sense his magic coming from below us.

Dark, dusk, below us...

That's it!

Fran, your shadow!

He's attacking from your shadow!

Can you hit him from up here?

Yeah!

Skill: Vibrofang, mixed with Malevolent Poison Fang!

Sonic Wave!

How do you like them apples?!

Dusk Magic:

Darkness Blast!

Poison, huh?

I'm surprised you got through my Status Resistance and managed to poison me.

But too bad. It barely even stings.

It's not working!

The upgraded Sovereign Poison Fang I got from the Doppel Snake is no slacker.

But even that barely puts a dent in him!

Got any other tricks up your sleeve?

Our usual strat for beating bosses has gone straight out the window now!

Teacher, what now?

I'm gonna be honest. It's not looking good.

We're lucky he's still playing with his food. Once he gets bored and decides to take us out,

we'll use our Return Feather to get out of here.

But I'll win for sure!

I'll win and...

get to eat curry!

Well, well, aren't we feisty?

But try as you might, you can't win.

At least try more than just scratching me!

Come on! Give me a real fight!

Well, fair is fair. Your AGI and Sword Mastery are a cut above mine.

But that's all you have.

So how about we make your Sword Mastery disappear?

Fran, be careful!

He's up to something!

I'm absolutely sure I sensed magic.

What did he do?

I have no idea what he just did!

Special Skill: Skill Taker.

I can steal any skill and claim it as my own.

I took your Sword Mastery for myself. Do you understand what that means?

You've lost your only way to fight me now.

Despair! You're going to die!
