Original subtitles

This matter can be handled more effectively.

Lord Uchimura.

The negotiation with the Bearman tribe

was successful.

Well done.

As long as you organize the conditions of both sides with priority, you can come to an agreement.

That is surprising.

I've seen countless meetings where conditions were not clarified

and they go in endless circles.

And also,

I heard that your facilitating an alliance between the demon army and our Ogres

will be awarded.

Awarded?

An award ceremony will be held shortly.

I'll confirm the details after lunch.

I, who have never been commended by the company, will be awarded.

Award.

Uchimura, I've brought the food.

Let's eat together.

Miss Ulmandra, thanks a lot.

What are we eating today?

(Just a little bit)

The usual Gim porridge.

It tastes bland…

Because I diluted it with water to increase the portion.

Gim

is a type of grain grown in the vast farmlands on the outskirts.

Thanks to Orl, who is knowledgeable in royal studies and diplomacy,

I have the capacity to learn about this world.

So bland.

The staple food of the demon army is this extremely bland Gim porridge.

I do understand,

but…

sometimes I still want some meat.

Okay, I got it.

Let's go hunting.

Directly from the habitat?

Seriously?

(Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four!)

(Episode 3: Now I understand! Communication between the Big Four)

Actually,

our army just received a request for extermination.

There has been a magical beast disaster in this area.

Magical beast?

Among the demihumans living nearby,

five Orcs have been eaten.

That's terrible!

The strong feeds on the weak,

that's the law of nature.

Normally, the Orcs should find a way to defeat the magical beast themselves.

But they are much too strong.

That's why we need to lend a hand.

Considering that even Gim porridge needs to be diluted,

the food supply here can't be plentiful.

Plus the disasters caused by the magical beasts.

This world has more problems than I thought.

What else can I do?

Found it!

This kind of mushroom.

Mushroom?

Are they edible?

Yes.

The Orcs were attacked while picking mushrooms.

Mushrooms are considered a precious ingredient in this region.

All we have to do is wait here.

The magical boar will come on its own.

(Magical Boar) A wild boar?

It's threatening us.

Uchimura, retreat slowly.

I'll take care of it.

I see.

Pigs only move in a plane.

They have no concept of three-dimensional space.

That's why the attack comes from above its head.

She's very familiar with combat.

This is already disaster level.

To be able to exchange blows with it, Miss Ulmandra is also a monster.

But

she still falls short.

And it's a fatal deficiency.

If it were just an attack, that would be fine.

But our goal is 'hunting.'

She lacks killing power.

Solid horns,

sharp claws,

tough tusks.

Wild animals use these parts to harm enemies.

But what about us?

We are fragile.

We are animals with extremely low killing ability.

That's why we seek substitutes.

Swords, spears, bows and arrows, firearms, bombs.

We look outward for the killing power we lack.

That is, weapons.

Miss Ulmandra is well aware of this.

But why didn't she bring weapons?

I can't kill you like this.

Then I'll show a little of my true skill.

Forcing the body to transform.

This magic takes a long time to recover from; that's why I don't like using it.

But there's no other way.

I can only go all out.

Miss Ulmandra.

If I cut open your abdomen and damage the stomach, it'll be inedible.

Is this magic?

Is this a demon?

Okay, get ready to eat.

Do you think I still have an appetite?

I truly appreciate it.

I didn't expect you to defeat it alone.

You should thank me.

Alright, we don't get meat often.

Let's share it.

They can accept it.

Lady Ulmandra.

We've chopped off the leg.

Okay.

Miss Ulmandra, can you cook?

Of course, I am one of the Big Four.

I'll let you taste the meat dishes of my country.

Meat.

Ever since coming here, I've been eating Gim porridge for every meal. I can't wait.

What kind of dish are you making?

Grill it over the fire.

Grill it?

Flame-grilled magic pork is ready.

Literally.

But I only see a lump of charred substance.

Shut up, just eat.

This is…

The moment I bite into it,

(Rumbling) bitterness and astringency spread in my mouth.

The meat juice lingers in my mouth like fuel oil.

This isn't eating,

it's polluting the oral environment.

That's rude.

You're rude for forcing me to eat this strange thing.

Whenever it comes to food, you turn into a harsh critic.

I have been enduring a strong cultural shock.

But the biggest problem is…

Is the oven for everyone?

Yes, it's expensive.

Salt is also a rare item.

Hey.

This is way too little.

The taste won't change if you don't add more.

Sorry, could I do it?

I just need a little bit of salt.

Could you give me some edible mushrooms?

It's done!

Skewered grilled pork and mushroom pork soup.

It's… delicious!

It really is.

- The kids complain the grilled meat tastes strange. - Pork tends to have a gamey smell.

- The gamey taste has vanished. - So, it must be soaked in water to remove the blood.

Pork is rich in fat.

Grill slowly away from the fire, don't burn it.

Force out the excess fat.

The same goes for when adding meat to a soup.

Blanching the meat a bit can remove the smell.

If you're interested, I can teach you in detail.

Really?

Fortunately, you are down-to-earth.

- These tips are really practical. - Well.

You're teaching people how to cook.

Won't it lower the status of the Big Four?

You're mistaken.

Just by observing dietary habits,

you can tell the development of a civilization.

Anyone can come up with my cooking method

if they regularly eat meat.

If people can experiment repeatedly with abundant resources,

they will accumulate knowledge.

So, you think this country is too poor

and lacking in knowledge.

To put it extremely, yes.

I'll have to say you're right.

This country is too barren.

Compared to the surrounding great nations, it's too weak.

People don't have enough food.

But

that's precisely why we must make changes.

This is the duty of the Big Four.

Isn't it?

Yes, you're absolutely right.

I admit it.

You used a single dish to give me such profound insight.

You really are something.

Then let's head back to the city.

In darkness?

With this, we can illuminate the road.

Beasts afraid of light won't attack either.

Is this also a kind of magic?

Yes.

Demihumans can't use it.

This is the Omniscience that only we demons are qualified to use.

This is magic.

I see.

Because magic can't be used,

the demihuman troops led by Gnome

train day and night with diligence.

By the way,

is Mr. Sylphid a demon

or a demihuman?

I'm not sure, but with the title 'Conjurer of the Ultimate Storm',

he must be a demon.

He never shows up in person when the Big Four meet.

He always participates remotely?

That's pretty bold.

Whatever. Let's head out.

Wait, Miss Ulmandra.

You're so good at this.

But don't you find it a bit inconvenient?

Huh?

Also, when you fought the magical boar.

You were struggling at first

because you lacked high-damage equipment.

Magic can transform the body.

But the downside is that it takes time to recover.

Given that, it would be more efficient to carry a weapon from the beginning.

Just like when cooking,

using an oven won't burn the food.

Don't be fixated on magic.

You should consider using efficient alternatives.

It's the same with clothing.

Compared to light clothing,

something with more protection coverage would be better.

What's wrong?

Uchimura.

Yes?

Perhaps you are right.

But,

your remarks are insulting to me.

The plan has changed.

You stay here.

The Orcs will escort you back in the morning.

Miss Ulmandra?

I had started to trust you, but unfortunately,

you are still a human from another world.

Your focus on efficiency

does not sit well with us demons.

I messed up.

Why did I make her angry?

No, I should catch up to her first.

And then apologize…

I can't do it.

If I encounter a demon in the forest at night,

I'll lose my life.

Wait for me, Miss Ulmandra.

I'm begging you, please wait!

(Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four!)

Good work in subduing the beast.

That being said,

I heard that Ulmandra returned late at night,

while you returned early in the morning under the escort of the Orcs.

Has something happened?

Your Majesty.

I…

I'm not worthy to be one of the Big Four!

I see what happened.

I am truly sorry, Your Majesty.

You don't need a Heavenly King who had disputes with colleagues, right?

Please allow me to dismiss myself.

PULLING HARD Don't act rashly.

Uchimura,

resolve the misunderstanding between you and Ulmandra.

Make amends, will you?

This is an order from me.

An order by His Majesty.

I understand.

Uchimura,

this is not merely an interpersonal issue.

It could help you better understand this world.

- So annoying. - Look at him.

I don't understand.

What exactly is Miss Ulmandra angry about?

Your focus on efficiency

does not sit well with us demons.

Demons…

There are two major races here,

demihumans and demons.

Before I came to this world,

my impression was that demons were more intellectual,

whereas demihumans like orcs were wilder.

However…

That's a demihuman.

A demon.

Demihuman.

De… Demon.

But in this world, it's quite the opposite.

Take Miss Ulmandra as an example,

Demons dress more revealingly and are wilder.

Why is that?

Clothing reflects the era, culture, even religion or mindset.

The mindset of demons…

This is the Omniscience that only we demons are qualified to use.

This is magic.

Races other than demons

simply cannot use magic?

I need to discard my prejudices.

About the magic in this world,

is there any data recorded based on facts?

Found it.

'For demons,'

'a sculpted muscular body is a matter of honor.'

'To enhance magical power and make use of spells,'

'training the body is the key.'

The more one trains their body, the stronger their magical power.

This is the truth of this world.

That's why demons dress so revealingly.

To display their magical power and honor.

So the remarks I made…

Compared to light clothing,

something with more protection coverage would be better.

That's tantamount to denying Miss Ulmandra.

No wonder she was furious.

This is cultural difference.

I had learned this during the negotiation with Mr. Tarius.

No…

Thank you so much, Your Majesty.

Thanks to your guidance, I could perceive the truth of this world.

But

I do not know how to make amends with Miss Ulmandra.

All the firewood has been chopped.

Next is…

Who's there? An evil god?

No.

Lady Ulmandra.

Uchimura hates me, what should I do?

What happened?

He does not compliment me.

What do you mean?

Uchimura doesn't praise my body.

What is she talking about?

This is the thing, Lady Ulmandra,

I realized while working for Lord Uchimura

that his values differ from ours.

I'm guessing,

Lord Uchimura doesn't regard exposing the body as a good thing.

How could it be?

Then what does he think of me?

Female pervert.

Female pervert?

Why? I've covered my vital parts.

I don't really understand the shame standard for demons.

So,

all those gestures of affection I've shown him…

Betrayed their purposes.

I've been greatly misunderstood?

Please stop.

You'll put a hole in the floor.

Orl.

What should I do now?

I remember

on my first day as his subordinate,

Lord Uchimura told me this…

Orl.

Considering that we will work together in the future,

I would like to make a suggestion.

I hope you can be adventurous

and do whatever you desire.

Whatever I desire?

Sometimes you get fixated on trivialities.

I hope you can do as you wish, and feel free to discuss it with me

If there are problems, I will cover for you.

We'll find solutions together.

That's Lord Uchimura's personality.

So don't worry about it.

Please trust him.

(Izakaya)

(Demon King)

(Thick fried tofu, Beef tendon, Mochikinchaku, Kelp, Fried chicken)

Sweet Japanese sake goes best with soy sauce-flavored dishes.

Soy sauce flavor with sweet; salt grill flavor with spicy.

That's right.

Please enjoy.

This is delicious.

That is our homemade specialty.

It's the first time I've seen him smile.

I see.

I don't need to overthink it.

It's important to learn each other's culture,

but…

Miss Ulmandra!

Uchimura!

But I can't be trapped by that kind of thinking.

First, I must express my feelings honestly.

I think your body is extremely sexy, Miss Ulmandra!

I am not a female pervert!

I just want to hear you praise my body!

No, that's not it.

I just wanted to compliment your body.

I didn't choose my words carefully…

No, I just wanted to say that I am not a female pervert.

That's all.

Really.

Um…

I really know nothing about you.

I am truly sorry!

Have you been looking for information about demons?

You are really too serious.

I am the one who should apologize.

I imposed my ideas on you

and left you in the forest on impulse.

I did feel my life was in danger at that time.

Miss Ulmandra,

we realized our mistakes

and understood each other better.

Don't you think

we can become great partners?

Partners…

Probably…

Is this a confession?

Did he mean 'partner' as a subtle confession?

That's great.

Now I can continue to work with her harmoniously.

After allying with the Ogres

and integrating the seven tribes,

the demon army grew even stronger.

I decided to commend the meritorious officials.

Lift your head.

Overseas Expatriate, Heavenly King, Uchimura Denosuke.

Yes.

You have delivered such impressive results in such a short period.

To reward your merits,

I shall bestow upon you this magic stone.

Thank you for granting me this reward, Your Majesty.

I feel greatly honored.

However,

I alone could not have achieved this result.

Therefore,

I would like to present this stone to Miss Ulmandra.

It belongs to both of us.

Would you accept it?

Are you… an idiot?

Why do you scold me?

Please do accept it.

- Otherwise, I'd feel undeserved. - Lord Uchimura must be unaware

- How can I accept it like this? - that giving a magic stone to someone

- Everyone is watching. - of the opposite sex

- Please just accept it. - is tantamount to a marriage proposal.

If you have to give it to me,

can't you choose a quieter place

and do it more romantically?

- What do you mean, does that matter? - Uchimura Denosuke.

- Just accept it, will you? - A loser like him has gained recognition.

- I beg you. - A loser like him has gained recognition.

"OSHINKO (lightly pickled vegetables)".

Written in kanji, it means a new fragrance.

The fragrance can evoke memories.

Yes.

Lightly pickled vegetables are a type of time machine.
