Original subtitles

K-Kazuki-kun...

Attacks he can't perceive aren't reflected right away.

So, all we need to do is to make him unable to say "reflect" with an attack.

Is that what you thought?

It has nothing to do with my vision or my perception.

It's not automatic. I decide what attacks to reflect.

I purposely didn't reflect the attack on my back.

I don't even need to say "reflect" for it to work.

No one has ever injured me...

and no one ever will.

I had faith in the two of you...

but I guess not.

Usato-kun...

I'm... sorry.

THE WRONG WAY TO USE HEALING MAGIC

#11 SMASH! FIST OF HEALING!

We managed to get those school rules amended, didn't we?

Excellent job, Senpai.

No, it was thanks to your materials, Kazuki-kun.

You really are dependable.

No, no.

Just from the teachers you were talking with,

I could really see the respect and expectations they had for you.

That is why we succeeded.

You think so?

Of course!

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'll go grab my bag.

Sure, I'll make my way down first.

Respect and expectations, huh?

It's not stopping!

Oh?

I'm really glad...

I met you that day.

When I was summoned to another world,

I was so happy.

I could finally be a new me.

That is all I could think about.

But... you were different.

You did everything you could to prepare yourself

for living a new life in a new world.

You were so dazzling,

I could hardly look at you.

And on top of that,

when you accepted not the old me, which was just a facade,

but the real me that could finally emerge in this new world...

I was really happy.

As long as I had you and Kazuki-kun by my side,

everything would be all right...

...or so I thought.

However...

Our Heroes!

Praise the Black Knight!

We did it!

Time to end this.

That was fun...

for a little while.

No you don't!

Kazuki! Senpai!

I didn't make it!

No, I did make it!

Usato-kun...

Senpai!

That hurt!

What was that?

Who are you?!

Time to run!

Not on your life!

Senpai! You're all healed up?

Yeah! Thanks!

I'm just about done healing Kazuki's wounds.

He should wake up soon.

I see... Listen to this, Usato-kun.

Incoming!

That was close!

Come on... I still have those other knights to heal, you know?

Listen, Usato-kun.

Your attack on the Black Knight worked!

What do you mean?

His armor is most likely made of magic.

It reflects all attacks back on the attacker.

Are you serious? That's totally cheating.

But your punch worked!

What was that attack?

That attack?

I won't let you escape.

I don't know what that was,

but I'm going to have to pay you back for that.

I honestly don't want to fight.

But I can't save everyone with him around.

So be it!

Usato-kun?

You two stay here.

I'll hold him off.

Come! To your death!

Careful, Usato-kun!

Morphing at will?

But even if my attacks are reflected,

I can heal myself!

My attacks aren't being reflected?

Is he out of mana?

How?

He's taken aback!

In that case...

Take this!

Sorry! That was a feint!

Why you...

Die!

I'm not going to just because you said so!

Usato...

Kazuki-kun, you're awake!

What happened?

Did Usato heal me?

He saved both of our lives.

And he's now...

fighting the Black Knight.

Oh, no!

Now what?

What's happening?

The Black Knight's attacks aren't having any effect.

For some reason, Usato-kun's attacks aren't being reflected.

Also, why is Usato cloaking himself in healing magic?

He isn't healing his own wounds or fatigue, right?

Yeah...

He's just healing the enemy every time he lands a hit...

Don't tell me...

the Black Knight's weakness is...

healing magic?

Magic that activates when the user is injured

can't activate when the attack is cloaked in healing magic.

That's because the injury that should be reflected

has already been healed!

That means...

the only thing hurting the Black Knight is...

...nothing but...

Usato-kun's punches!

They don't leave any injuries,

but they hurt like hell!

That's so messed up!

That's...

That's the wrong way to use healing magic!

You're kidding me.

This can't be happening.

Not to me!

You..

I'll kill you!

Usato!

Kazuki!

You're awake!

Thank goodness!

Usato-kun!

No need to worry!

I'll take him out in one more hit.

Take him out?

No matter what magic he uses,

it doesn't change what I have to do.

Make sure...

he doesn't hurt anyone else...

ever again!

I nailed it.

That was the killing move...

No, the winning move...

The healing punch.

There we go.

Everything's fine now.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for saving us.

Not at all.

It's all in a day's work for the Rescue Squad.

Not just for healing us,

but for beating the Black Knight

and for making the demons lose their will to fight.

That's right, Usato-kun.

If you hadn't beaten the Black Knight,

there would have been many more casualties.

I guess you're right.

I am indeed.

Good job to you, too.

You can go get some rest.

Thank you, ma'am. Right away.

Usato-kun,

you really saved the day.

You were amazing.

Nah...

So... about that healing punch?

You heard that?

EXCITED EXCITED That was a really interesting name.

EXCITED EXCITED What kind of move was that?

Well, it's not anything special.

It's just my fist cloaked in healing magic.

That's all there is to it.

The captain taught it to me.

I've got a special technique for idiots like you.

Listen up because I'm only going to say this once.

If you face an enemy you have to defeat no matter what...

Punch 'em with a fist full of healing magic.

Heal them as you hit them.

That way, you won't kill them.

You'll just knock them out.

Even without the damage, they'll still feel the pain and impact.

With this, I can knock them out without leaving any lasting injuries!

Amazing, isn't it?

Y-Yup.

You're corrupted, all right...

by Rose-san.

Stop that!

Please don't lump us together!

Well, to be fair...

it is a fact that that healing punch saved the two of us.

You have my thanks.

No thanks necessary.

You're my precious senpai,

and Kazuki is my dear friend.

Senpai!

That snake monster has moved to the front lines.

I see.

Then that's what we're fighting next.

Right!

Then I'll head to the front lines with you guys.

Hey!

C-Captain!

I heard that the Heroes were on the verge of death.

What's going on?

Explain the situation.

W-Well, you see...

Right... so that's the Black Knight.

To think that you'd be the one to put an end to everything.

I'm sorry...

Don't be.

Healing the Heroes, capturing a powerful enemy combatant,

and sending their forces into disarray.

Now's a good time.

We're heading back to camp.

Excuse me?

The battle has swung heavily in our favor.

As long as they don't have anything up their sleeve,

we've got this in the bag.

We're just going to get in the way.

Kazuki, Senpai!

I'm heading back with the captain.

I see...

Thanks for the heads up.

I can't thank you enough, Usato.

Don't die on me now.

You guys are the Heroes! Go kick their butts!

You got it.

I'm not going to waste the life you gave me.

Usato.

See ya!

Good job staying alive.

Sorry, did you say something?

Nothing. Let's book it.

Right behind you!

The Black Knight... got captured?

According to those who were there,

it was a one-sided battle.

Impossible! Her magic was beaten?

Was it a Hero?

No, it was someone in white.

Most likely one of the Rescue Squad.

Was it Rose?

No, it was a black-haired boy.

There was... another one?

Hyriluk, call Baljinak back.

We're falling back.

Are you serious?

I should join the battle,

but I won't be able to protect the base with just the soldiers.

Not to mention, they still have Army Commander Siglis on their side.

Any more fighting...

would be pointless.

We don't have any healers,

so it's just a matter of time.

All right. I'll issue the order.

What's wrong?

It's the Heroes.

Time to show them what we're made of.

Right.

Let's kick this guy's butt and go home!

Let's do this!

Usato! No slacking!

Shut up! I'm not slacking!

He got poisoned. You know what to do.

Got it!

I'll heal you now.

We did it, Senpai!

Yup! You really are dependable!

It's all over!

Please take it easy for now.

G-Got it.

Thanks.

No, thank you for making it back alive!

Looks like we've won this battle.

Are you serious?!

They've begun to retreat.

We're not giving chase?

Are you crazy?

Compared to them, we've spent far more energy and resources.

We should avoid unnecessary sacrifices and prepare for the next attack.

There'll be another one?

Don't see why there won't be.

Usato! We need you over here!

Coming!

I got it.

Thanks.

We were only able to win this battle

because you were able to revive the Heroes.

You would have saved them even if I wasn't here.

They would have been saved regardless.

No.

They would have died.

You saved them.

Not Siglis. Not me.

Got it?

Without you, we wouldn't have won so quickly.

There was a chance we might have even lost.

You have done your job as a member of the Rescue Squad.

Well done, Usato.

Huh? Why am I...?

Look at you.

You're crying like a kid!

Duh! I'm still 17!

The battle was really scary,

and so were the demons!

I saw many people die.

But...

But...

I'm so happy to have met you...

and to have been of help.

I really am.

Someone said the same thing to me once.

Now, they're just a part of my memory.

But you're here, right in front of me.

Usato...

Thank you for making it back alive.

My pleasure!

Huh?

No more magic or stamina, huh?

You really hung in there.

Now, rest.
