Original subtitles

I will kill all my enemies...

Even if they happen to be...

...a god.

Your Majesty, though the delays are quite regrettable,

we are still relieved to hear that the Hero is on his way back.

Yes. I hear that the demons are becoming more active as well.

We will be needing the Hero's powers soon.

Is something wrong, Princess Liliana?

You seem ill at ease.

N-No, Pope Ishtar, I'm fine...

Kouki-san and the others were summoned to our world by an act of God.

The Hero has returned.

They were summoned to protect us humans from the demons.

Without a way to go back to their original world,

Kouki-san and the others had no choice but to obey the will of God.

A horrible accident happened during their training to prepare for war.

No more...

Lily!

Shizuku!

I was worried by how long it took you to return from the Great Orcus Labyrinth.

We're fine. How about everyone else?

Yes, the Second Party members were all training hard every day.

"We can't just sit idly by and rely on Kouki and the others all the time."

"We have to be strong too." That's what they said.

Hey, Eririn, want something to drink?

Eririn?

Sure, let's drink something.

Shizuku, if you didn't return, they said they would go out to find you.

They truly care about their friends.

Hey, what's the matter with you?

Why are you in such a bad mood?

Were the monsters you saw down there really that bad?

It's not the monsters... It's him. He's worse than the monsters.

Kousuke! Where are you, Kousuke! Kousuke!

Now that you've mentioned it, yes, Kousuke is missing.

Kousuke! Where are you?!

--Kousuke! --Kousuke!

Um, I'm right here.

You really do blend in with the background, as always.

Can I cry now?

I'm sorry I worried you. I'm glad to see everyone's in good spirits.

Yes.

What about Kaori?

Lily, about that...

I see.

So Kaori is with Nagumo-san.

Yes.

Is that why Kouki-san seems so out of it?

Well, that's probably part of it, but...

Nagumo-kun ended up saving Kouki again, so...

I see...

That said, he is "The Hero" after all.

We can't let him stay sad for too long.

Indeed.

If it comes down to it, I'll handle him.

I'm truly glad to hear Nagumo-san is safe.

It would have been best if he could come back with us,

but he said he's searching for another way for us to go back to our world.

I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't see him.

You'd be surprised if you did. He looks totally different, among other things.

By now, I'm sure he's...

It's quite terrible outside, Tio-san.

If it wasn't for Hajime-san's Brise, we would have been in a lot of trouble.

Indeed, Shea. This is not a place I'd enter if I had any other choice.

It's so different from the last time I was here!

It's so cool, and my eyes don't hurt!

Papa is so awesome!

That's right. Papa Hajime is awesome.

Do you want some cold water, Myu-chan?

I do! Thank you, Big Sister Kaori!

Hey, Shirasaki...

K-Kaori, please stop calling me "Papa Hajime." It feels weird.

Huh? But that's what Myu-chan calls you, and you don't seem to mind.

It's okay when Myu says it. Having a classmate call me that, though,

I have to say, is uncomfortable.

Really? Well then, I won't say it, but...

But one day, when I have a baby, then...

Sorry.

I have a previous engagement, already promised.

Introduction to his parents, already promised.

Our happy family life plans are all set.

We also have plans to go on a date in Hajime's hometown.

There's so much that I know about Hajime-kun that you don't, Yue!

Like his future aspirations, his hobbies...

Yue, do you know about Hajime-kun's favorite anime and manga?

Well... That doesn't matter now. Those things don't exist here.

Really? Can't you see that Hajime-kun looks like an anime character now?

His weapons, too. That new one he's making... The Cross Bit, was it?

That's totally based on the Funnel, right?

K-Kaori?!

How can you act like you've won

without knowing anything about the things he loves?

Bold words, Kaori.

Then I'll tell you about what Hajime loves...

...to do, in bed.

B-B-B-B-Bed?! So, you've already...?!

Yes, let that sink in, how far ahead I am.

Big Sister Yue and Big Sister Kaori are always fighting!

I don't like it when the big sisters aren't nice to each other!

Aren't you ashamed of behaving like that in front of Myu-chan?

It's bad for her education.

Please restrain yourselves.

How regrettable, for Shea to scold me and actually have a good point.

I'm sorry, Myu-chan, Shea...

Master, there seems to be a disturbance up ahead.

Those are sand worms.

Sand worms in the Gruen Desert are very common, but...

What are they doing?

It's almost like they can't decided whether or not they should eat their prey.

Yeah, that's how it appears.

Is that a thing?

They eat anything, I don't think they'd ever hesitate in front of a meal.

Hold on!

Hey, pervert! Get your breasts off me!

I can't help it!

Hey, Kaori!

You of all people, what are you doing in this situation?!

It's dangerous! The danger is dangerous!

I'm clinging on because the dangerous danger is right there!

Damn you Kaori, a surprise attack to get ahead of me? Well played.

I'm sorry! I had the purest of intentions!

I just wanted to see what it felt like to be clingy!

And also, if possible, to enjoy Hajime?

Yes, correct... Wait, no!

Don't phrase it like that! I'm not a lewd person like you, Yue!

You call me lewd? Well, I can't deny that I am, when I'm alone with Hajime.

Will you two just shut up for a bit?

Also, Yue, no more "nighttime" talk.

We're running backwards!

Papa Hajime is such a good driver.

I said stop calling me Papa!

Hajime, I want babies.

Hey! Save the fun for the inn!

Will there be fun for me, too?

I'll throw you out into the desert.

Why are you so harsh to only me?!

Come to think of it, this is the first time I've used this.

I didn't know Brise had something like this.

Hajime, you're a genius.

Master is truly great.

Dammit!

Make sure Myu doesn't see this.

Now, let's find out what's going on.

They're looking at us. Is that bad, Hajime-san?

There seems to be a much bigger crowd.

Just watch.

Hajime-kun, look!

A person?

Was that what the sand worms were after?

Hajime-kun, would it be all right to go over there?

Well, we do have Myu-chan with us.

Yes. It would be very risky.

Myu is fine!

I guess, as a Priest, you want to save him.

Yes.

Myu, stay in Brise with Shea.

Hajime-kun!

I'm curious to know why he didn't get eaten.

Is this...

"Status: Overloaded mana, unable to release mana"

A mana overload?

Some sort of ingested poison is causing this person's mana to go berserk?

Kaori, what did you find?

I'm not certain, but it seems like he ingested something

that's causing a state of "mana overload."

Mana overload?

He's unable to release the extra mana, so the forced overload coming from inside

is causing pressure on the body, which can't handle it.

If we don't do something, his organs and veins will rupture.

Heaven's blessing, I hereby request recurrence...

Consecration!

It had no effect. Why?

If it can't be cleansed, is it that deeply dissolved into his body...?

Kaori?

May the grace of light bless you in this holy sanctuary.

No evil shall pass so long as I hold the gates.

Sanctorum!

High-rank light magic, "Sanctorum."

It allows the caster to transfer mana from one person to another,

to prevent mana depletion.

It can also be used to forcefully drain mana from someone.

I guess she's using it to drain out the overloaded mana from this man?

And the drained mana goes into the Holy Crystal ring I gave her. I see.

I don't think he's in immediate danger anymore,

but the root cause hasn't been resolved yet.

If I drain too much of his mana, he might die from emaciation,

so I've only drained enough to ease the pressure.

So, he's still...

Unless we do something, he'll go into mana overload again,

or the fatigue could cause him to weaken and die.

I've never seen symptoms like these in anything I've studied.

Yue, Tio, do you have any ideas?

I see.

Kaori.

Just in case, do a diagnosis on us, too.

If this is an unknown disease, it could be airborne.

A goddess?!

I see.... I must have died, and I'm going to meet God...

Oh, dear goddess...

Hajime-kun?!

Stop spewing nonsense and get up already.

I-I'm alive?!

I thought I was done for, but it seems God has not forsaken me yet.

Hajime-kun, maybe we should bring him inside the car.

Yeah, it's way too hot out here.

It's not hot... Where am I? Is this a divine sanctuary?

Here.

Have some water.

It's cold!

First of all, thank you for saving my life.

If I had died out there, everything would have been over.

My name is Bize Feuward Zengen.

I am the son of the duke, Lanzwi Feuward Zengen, of the Dukedom of Ankaji.

The Dukedom of Ankaji?

The important trade hub for the seafood coming out of Erisen,

the city on the ocean.

Yes. Erisen is where Myu was born and raised.

Mama is waiting for me there!

Master, Ankaji is the town we were headed towards.

Yes.

I guess that town is in trouble.

Tell us about what's going on.

A few days ago, the citizens of Ankaji began to collapse from fever.

A poison that causes mana overload was found in our drinking water...

Our oasis was polluted by this substance.

The oasis is protected, maintained, and managed with the utmost care.

How did this poison get in the oasis? Who could have done this?

However, there is a cure.

It involves a special mineral called Stillstone.

Stillstone has the effect of calming a person's mana when ingested.

It is a precious mineral, mined in small amounts in the Gruen Volcano.

The Gruen Volcano? That's...

But the adventurers of Ankaji have all fallen ill.

The average adventurer wouldn't even be able

to get past the sandstorm surrounding the volcano.

Even if a powerful adventurer was available,

seeing how we're almost out of safe drinking water...

So in a nutshell, you set out to call for help, but you also collapsed,

so Ankaji is in really deep trouble now.

Someone needs to cleanse the oasis

and bring Stillstone from the volcano, correct?

Yes! You are Gold-ranked adventurers, and you are a goddess.

This must truly be God's will!

He must have sent these goddesses to save us, and...

God, huh?

I would like to officially ask you,

as a deputy of the Duke of Ankaji,

please, lend us aid!

Papa.

Aren't you going to save them?

Myu.

Well, we were going to stop by Ankaji, anyway.

Hajime-kun!

We're going to get busy again.

Then let's hurry!

Yes!

We want you to go directly to the volcano to mine the Stillstone,

but perhaps it is best to first travel to the royal capital to get water--

There's no need to go to the royal capital.

We should be able to get water. We're heading to Ankaji right away.

Should be able to?

Right, Yue?

Yes, Hajime.

Can you stop melting away into a world of your own?

I know, right? It's always just the two of them. Not fair!

Not fair!

General Freid! Is it true that Cattleya was defeated?!

Mikhail.

It can't be true! Cattleya could not have died!

She had so many monsters by her side, and...

The mission at the town of Ur was also a failure.

Ur, too?!

The operations were partially successful. Sixty thousand monsters were recruited

and were about to lay waste to the town and kill the Fertility Goddess.

But an "Irregular" crushed our plan.

An "Irregular"?

Just four individuals wiped out the entire monster army.

Reiss, who was on the mission, lost an arm.

Impossible. Reiss, too...?

The four Irregulars left Ur and went straight to the Great Orcus Labyrinth.

Just when Cattleya was about to encounter the Hero.

So these Irregulars killed Cattleya...?

Our enemies are stronger than we anticipated.

I will head to the volcano now.

I must acquire a new Age of God magic and grow stronger. At any cost.

General Freid...

All in service to our king and for the God we worship.

Mikhail, defend our home while I am away. War is coming, soon.

I will avenge Cattleya's death.

You have crushed the sacred mission given to me by my God.

You will pay dearly for that, my unseen enemies.

The moment you see me is the last moment of your lives.

There is no place on this world for heathens

or Irregulars.
