Original subtitles

Please, at least treat me like a girl!

What's going on?

Liliana-san?! Are you okay?!

I'm fine...

What kind of princess gets thrown away?

Um, Lily, welcome back, I guess?

Oh, Yuuka-san. And everyone else.

I have returned.

Seems like you had a rough time, but Lily,

try to avoid getting influenced by Nagumo too much, okay?

Oh no, influence? We're not that close yet...

Yet?

Oh. Um, never mind.

Um, Liliana-san, did something happen between you and Nagumo-kun?

W-What do you mean by something, pray tell may I implore?

Lily, you're speaking gibberish.

Please don't get the wrong idea. Nothing happened, really.

Besides, he treats me too roughly.

Well, you can say that.

He's truly terrible!

He causes trouble everywhere, knowing it affects me, yet he never explains!

Calm down, Lily.

I am grateful that he saved me from assault.

But why is he so calm after seeing me in that unbecoming state!

What? Wait.

But, I guess I liked how he complimented my replacement dress.

And he did dance with me.

But, but still!

His reason for saving me was to "make Kaori less worried"?!

Couldn't he say he saved me for my sake?!

Episode 06: Haltina's Labyrinth

Cam, there's no telling what could happen here.

Go ahead and pull yourself and the Haulias back.

Understood, Boss. Best of luck to you.

"Four proofs. The power of restoration. Guideposts of a well-forged bond."

"The pathway to a new challenge shall open to those who possess these."

Same as the one before.

I guess we'll use the proofs other than the one from the Divine Mountain.

Oh? The symbol appeared on the great tree as well.

So, next we use restoration magic?

Oh, the leaves...

Is this...

Is everyone all right?!

Nagumo, we're in the Great Labyrinth proper now, right?

Which way are we supposed to go?

I guess we just have to start looking.

Got it. I'll take point.

Let me know if you notice anything.

Hajime-san? Why—

Master?!

What are you doing?!

Nagumo!

Hajime? Why—

Just answer what you're asked, you imitation.

H-Hajime-kun?!

What are you doing, Nagumo-kun?!

What are you? Where is the real Yue?

I see.

You have no intention of answering.

Or rather, you're not built with that function.

Enough. Just die.

Damn it! Typical Great Labyrinth.

Way to open the show.

Hajime-san, did Yue-san and Tio-san...

They probably got teleported somewhere else.

But how did you know?

I know right? How did you notice?

I just knew, the moment I saw.

That's the only way I can explain it.

This thing in front of me isn't my Yue.

Monsters!

Nagumo, we'll do the fighting! Please stay out of it!

Well, this is the first fight after all.

Be careful, everyone!

Shizuku-chan, Suzu-chan, good luck!

Eek! Gross!

Suzu! Stay sharp!

Suzu!

Holy Shield!

Celestial Flash!

What?!

Holy Shield! Holy Shield! Holy Shield!

Damn it! These monsters are like the ones the demons were controlling!

No, it's probably the opposite.

They were controlling monsters like those from the Great Labyrinths.

You can't dodge this!

I'm starting to get the hang of this.

Amanogawa.

W-What?

Just worry about finding your childhood friend, for now.

You don't have to remind me!

Now what is it? What's coming?!

I won't let you do anything!

Kick.

Hey, Nagumo-kun!

Kouki was just trying to take down a monster!

Nagumo, what was that?! Why—

This isn't a monster.

Hajime-san?

Yue, right?

All I see is a monster...

Is it really Yue?

What? Ah.

You were transformed the moment you teleported?

I see.

I guess the body itself got transformed.

You lost your equipment too, I see.

And can't use magic either.

But it doesn't feel like you'll transform any further.

Well, it should be fine.

This is probably part of the challenge.

There must be a way to transform you back.

Well, that's that.

Kaori, can you try using restoration magic on her, for starters?

No no, wait wait.

That's not it, Nagumo-kun.

How are you able to communicate?

What do you mean, how?

Just look at those beautiful eyes.

I can't believe restoration magic won't work on it.

Yue, hold on to this.

Hajime? Hajime, can you hear me?

Yep, I can hear you.

Yes. I knew you'd notice, Hajime.

Naturally.

I've been watching you for the longest time. Of course I can tell.

I'm so happy. I love you.

I'm sorry I'm so loved even in this form.

Hajime-san, even I can tell this time.

That's Tio-san.

Master, perhaps we don't need to put much consideration into battle contribution.

What do you mean?

Are you talking about the concept of the labyrinth?

My guess is that Haltina is testing our bond.

Bond...

I remember seeing that word on the stone slab at the entrance.

Yes.

I think that it meant that our relationships would be tested in tackling this labyrinth.

Being able to identify an imposter posing as a friend.

Being able to accept a friend in a different form.

It really does seem to be testing our bond.

In that case, I guess I can go ahead and clean these up now.

Seems like another transportation.

Hajime.

M-Master, I don't know how to react when you're nice to me!

Not fair, you two!

Yeah! Not fair!

Hajime! Wake up already!

I knew it. I'm sorry to make you do this every morning.

Can you help me out again?

Wake up, Hajime...

If you don't, I will assault you. Sexually.

Yeah, I'm waking up now...

Oh... Good morning, Yue.

Good morning, Hajime.

Did you stay up late again?

Well, yeah.

You have to get sleep.

Sorry, I'll be careful.

Hajime-san! Yue-san!

Good morning!

Morning, Shea.

Shea-san!

Like I always say, please stop hugging me every time we greet each other!

Oh no!

How terrible of you to rob me of my pleasure!

Just back off, please!

The lights are fading from Yue's eyes.

Yikes.

Being liked so much by two girls at the same time...

Hmm?

Coming to think of it, where did I meet Yue?

Did Shea always wear that hairband?

What's with the concerned look from so early in the morning?

We have to get to class now, or else we'll be late.

Yes. The teacher will scold us again.

Class? Late? Teacher?

Why does this feel weird?

Nothing out of the ordinary was said there... Right?

Or, is it not the words themselves, but the people who said it?

What is this? Nostalgia?

Why would I feel that way?

Hajime-kun, good morning!

Last minute arrival again. Try to be earlier!

Those words... Where did I... Damn it.

What is this? Why does this feel so nostalgic?

This is what I do every day, but for some reason, this feels different.

Hajime-kun, why are you ignoring me?

Did I do anything to anger you?

Oh, no, sorry, I was lost in my thoughts.

Good morning, Shirasaki-san.

Oh, good. I'm relieved.

But I do always tell you I want you to call me Kaori, right?

Oh, um, yeah, K-Kao—

Stop pushing Hajime around.

There she is. Yue.

Good morning, I guess.

Good morning, Kaori. I guess.

Wow!

Damn it. Why won't she get fired already?

Oh, that's hot...

Huh? Why did that feel so natural?

Are you going to take care of her until Remia comes back, again?

Yeah.

Big bro! And big sisters Shea and Yue!

Myu, you can't dive in like that. That's dangerous.

Come on, big bro! Are you listening to me?

Oh, sorry. I spaced out for a moment.

Hmm? Hajime-san, did you hear that?

Huh? What?

Come on!

Oh, of course.

Shea wouldn't have any problem with that.

Big Sister Shea, you're so strong! Cool!

When you grow up, I can teach you the essence of hand-to-hand combat!

I too will teach you many things.

Yay!

Please don't teach her anything too weird.

What was I reaching for just now?

Wake up—

What is there to be discontent about?

Hajime?

Yue? You can come in.

I have a girlfriend who loves me with every fiber of her being.

I have a happy, fulfilled life.

So, who is this screaming inside of me?

Don't worry.

Everything will be alright. I will make you happy, Hajime.

Yue...

I am the exact embodiment of your ideals. I'll always be with you.

That's right.

Yue is here. Nothing can be more important.

Nothing... Right?

I live the ideal life with my ideal lover.

That's all...

I'll protect you, and you'll protect me.

We'll be unstoppable.

And we're gonna defeat everything and everyone,

and surpass the entire world.

Right.

That was back at the bottom of that dark abyss...

The ideal lover? A sweet and gentle world?

How stupid am I?!

Forgetting the vows I made for myself and almost drowning in a fake world...

I'm so disappointed in myself that it makes me sick.

Why? I am Yue, your ideal lover.

What more is there to ask?

Everything, idiot.

An ideal convenient lover who'll obey my every word?

That's just a puppet!

No! Not a puppet!

I am an exact replica of Yue's entire personality,

plus an embodiment of Hajime's ideals.

So—

Idiotic.

You're so off the mark it makes me sad.

Why?

Simple. Nothing can possibly be better than the real Yue.

Same with the others.

Nobody ever behaves the way I want them to, those troublemakers.

But the fact that they don't match my ideals is exactly

why I was able to become who I am now.

They're the reason I'm able to ground myself and remain who I am.

Mere ideals could never replace them in reality!

Limit Break!

You pass the test.

There is no value in something that is only sweetness and gentleness.

There's no meaning to a life that's just given to you.

Even if it's difficult and tough,

the things you build up through hard work in reality is what really makes you happy.

Please remember that.

None of your business.

This is...

Is this...?!

It's like amber.
