What's going on, at this hour?

I-I'm sorry... We just couldn't fall asleep.

Looks like you haven't found the guards yet.

We were looking all day today, but...

...I wonder if the captain learned anything?

Hey, guys...

The captain is okay, right?

Dammit, that was supposed to be fatal; how did you avoid it?

Daisuke, what are you...?!

Blitz Hammer!

They knew of our intentions.

Blow away, Wind Wall!

And you call yourself vice-captain?

Take a nap!

Dammit. All that effort to get the vice-captain for nothing.

I thought you were a human from this world, not a monster!

I'm unworthy of your praise.

I just have more experience...

...in human-to-human combat.

Why are you gloating?

Daisuke, you're...

It's useless!

Not even death can stop them!

What?! What do you...?

Why? Why is nobody coming to help, after all this commotion?

Just give up and die already, Captain Meld.

No.

I'll take the coward's way out.

What?! Hey!

Paint the world in crimson...

The matter with the king, the issue with the knights,

everything they do is half-baked. They are mere humans, after all.

I suppose I must lend a hand.

My god...

Yes. This is what Lord Ehit wishes.

I guess I can't say, "I'm counting on you."

That's your enemy.

Do your worst, knock them out!

Well, well. I suppose I should be impressed, Captain.

Quite clever. This could have been dangerous.

What are you talking about?

Doesn't matter, how are you? You took quite a beating.

This is nothing.

And her?

She's gone. Said we're half-baked.

I see. In my defense, her intervention was part of my plan.

It does seem like I have god's blessing.

How mean can this god be?

At any rate, we got rid of the biggest obstacle.

Now all we need is to stay under Yaegashi's radar.

That's right. The king and the chancellor have lost their minds.

The Church was never an obstacle.

Yeah...

Now that the captain is out of the picture, nothing can stop us.

All right, let's speed this up.

Like a rolling stone, we keep tumbling towards...

The future that I desire...

Can you show me the seashell that Myu gave you?

Sure, but...

What are you going to do with it?

You'll see.

Huh? Hajime-san...

Are those people under attack?

Looks like bandits. Around 40 of them.

Facing, I guess, 15 guards.

I'm impressed that they're holding their ground while being so outnumbered.

Yes. That barrier isn't bad at all.

I see. They need to break that down to get through.

The bandits can't do anything if the guards shoot magic through the barrier.

So why aren't the bandits retreating?

Nobody native to this world would be able to maintain that huge barrier for long.

It might take a while, but the bandits just have to wait it out.

Hajime-kun, please! Help them! There could be--

Thank you, Hajime-kun!

If you see a criminal, step on the gas...

That's what they teach at driving school, right?

No way! Stop making up crazy rules!

What the...?!

If I'm going to do it, I'll show no mercy.

I will kill every last one of them. You understand that, right, Kaori?

Yes, I do.

Then go. I won't let them interfere.

Yes!

You stupid whore!

Kaori!

I knew it! It's you, Lily!

I thought I recognized that barrier.

I had no idea why you would be out here, so I wasn't sure.

It seems like lady luck hasn't abandoned me yet.

Kaori, are you done healing?

You're Nagumo-san, aren't you? Long time no see.

Shizuku and the others told me about your survival.

I'm so glad you're safe...

Kaori was in shambles the whole time you were gone.

Come on! This is not the time for that!

I also heard about Kaori's once-in-a-lifetime romantic pledge.

Please do fill me in on the details later.

But anyway, who are you?

Huh?

Hajime-kun!

She's the princess! The princess!

Princess Liliana of the Kingdom of Heiligh!

Don't you remember?!

Huh? Oh, right.

I didn't know getting forgotten could hurt so much...

Lily, don't cry! Hajime-kun is the weird one here!

A normal person would never forget you, Lily!

Hey, am I being verbally abused right now?

So, what is the princess doing out here?

Lily...?

Aiko-san was... kidnapped.

For a while now, I've felt that something was wrong with the people at the castle.

Father's support of the Holy Church was growing more radical each day,

and his worship of Lord Ehit was nothing short of feverish.

At first, I just thought he was just trying to deepen his bond with the Church.

But I still couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

It was then that knights and soldiers began to appear lethargic,

as if suffering from some disease.

The branding of Nagumo-san as a heretic was also suspicious.

Your efforts at the town of Ur and the Great Orcus Labyrinth were ignored,

as well as Aiko-san's objection and arguments.

Of course, I objected to my father as well.

But he was determined to brand Nagumo-san the enemy of god, no matter what.

Father began to look at me as if he was looking at an enemy.

I grew afraid, so I went to Aiko-san to discuss the matter.

But Aiko-san was kidnapped by a nun from the Divine Mountain.

I thought that the nun was the mastermind behind this

or connected to the mastermind in some way.

I had to tell someone. But it's natural to assume that the castle is being watched.

So I had to find someone who could help.

The first people I thought of were you two, Kaori and Nagumo-san.

Shizuku told me that you had travelled west.

The rest you already know.

I thought I would start by asking Duke Zengen for help,

so I asked a caravan to let me ride along.

I never thought I'd run into you along the way.

A while ago, I would have said that this was god's blessing.

But right now, I am afraid of the Church...

What is going on?

Lily...

I suppose, for starters, I have to go save our teacher.

Would you do that?!

Don't get the wrong idea, it's not for the kingdom.

I'm doing this for her.

For Aiko-san...

I'm the reason she got kidnapped. I can't just leave her to suffer.

That said, if the cause of all of this got in the way of my rescue operation,

I'd have no choice but to beat them up, whomever it turned out to be.

Then all I can do is hope that's what'll happen.

Thank you, Nagumo-san.

The Divine Mountain that she was taken to is one of the Great Labyrinths.

I wonder what kind of God's Age magic I can get there?

Hajime, you're so awesome.

Hajime-san is making that face again.

It makes my heart throb!

Hmm. Master, having such a vicious look on your face...

It makes me wet!

What are my students trying to do...? What could it be?

Eliminating the "Irregular"... Irregular? Irregular...

Nagumo-kun.

Yeah, what is it, Sensei?

What?!

Over here.

Huh? What?!

Nagumo-kun, is that you?! What?!

This is the top floor; this is the Divine Mountain, what?!

Yeah, so, um, calm down, Sensei.

I'm almost done checking for traps.

Why are you so surprised? You noticed that I was coming, right?

Even though I thought I had completely masked my presence...

Noticed? What? Huh?

Well, you did call out my name. You must have detected me.

What?! Well, anyway, why are you here?

To rescue you, of course.

--Y-You came here for me? - Nagumo-kun? For me?

--She's not already brainwashed or something, is she? --Y-You came here for me? Nagumo-kun? For me?

What? No! You can't! So sudden! I'm your teacher...

I'm just trying to take this off.

Having your magic power sealed away is bad, right?

Or is there a reason you need to keep this?

Oh, right, I see...

What did you think I was...?

I'm sorry, it's nothing...

How did you know I was being held here? Nobody else knew...

The princess told me.

The princess? Princess Liliana?

She saw you get kidnapped.

She figured the entire castle was under surveillance,

so she couldn't tell Amanogawa and the others.

She decided to leave the capital all alone.

To find help.

Liliana-san did that? And Nagumo-kun, you responded.

Yeah. It does seem like I'm at least partly responsible for this situation.

I'm sure I'm the last person you wanted to see, but...

Well, I hope you'll put up with me until the others join.

You're definitely not the last person I wanted to see.

It's true, I haven't completely gotten over what happened with Shimizu-kun.

I might never get over that.

But still, I think I understand what you felt when you pulled that trigger.

Sensei...

I wasn't able to say this properly back then, so let me say it now.

Thank you for saving me.

I'm sorry I made you pull that trigger.

I'm just doing what I want.

I accept your gratitude but reject your apology.

Anyway, let's get going.

Nagumo-kun, please be careful.

The Church adamantly branded you a heretic.

Also, the person who kidnapped me might be--

I know. Whatever the case may be, once I get you back to safety,

I have to take care of my own business here,

and in order to do that, I probably need to take on the Church anyway.

I see, so you're ready for this.

I am.

Dammit, what is this timing...

Or rather, this might actually work out in our favor.

Did something happen?

The Demons are attacking.

What we just heard was the barrier surrounding the capital being shattered.

The Demons are attacking?!

Yes, the Heiligh Kingdom is being invaded.

It can't be...

Taken completely by surprise.

Th-That's terrible...

Sensei, regroup with Amanogawa and the others first. We'll talk more later.

Y-Yes.

Disintegration...?

Precisely.

Irregular, my name is Noint.

As god's apostle, I will remove the unneeded pieces from the god's board.

Next episode, "Invasion of the Capital."
