So in the end, we're back to level zero...huh.
That Hotoke is a real loser.
Hotoke being a total loser is quite rare, right? (Episode 2)
We just have to work hard and level up again.
- You're so hard working... - Such a good Yuusha...
Stop!
Leave me all your food supplies.
When evil monsters are around, I guess humans will become corrupted too.
Well, We need to fight to raise our levels anyway.
No, we should avoid meaningless fights.
What are you blabbering about?
If you don't want die, just leave the food and go.
Yoshihiko. Your legendary sword...
Izanai is still the same.
It's a sword of peace that will not kill.
Just put this baddie to sleep.
Fine.
Come.
Bring it on.
Bido-kun~ Are you done~?
- What? I'm about to. - Hurry up and let's go~.
I know but I told you I'm getting food from them first.
Why? Why are you being so cold to me...?
- No I'm not. - Yes you are.
I knew it, Bido-kun...
You don't love me anymore!
Of course not.
- Really? - Really.
Ne~ehh
What are you doing?
What are you... What are you whispering about?
Is it necessary? Is this necessary?
We're still here. You ignoring us? - Ne~ehh
I don't like them.
If we're not fighting, we'll be going.
Ot toh...Wait wait wait...
Did you think I'll just let you go?
Bido-kun, let's not do this.
I'll die if anything happens to you.
Nothing will happen to me.
You don't know that!
If you are killed, I...
Why are you crying?!
- Alirin, what's wrong?! - I don't want you to die..!
Oi...oi.
Why don't you do this at home?
Yoshihiko! Just do it. They get on my nerves.
- Huh? Are you jealous? - HUH?!
I can't. I can't fight with someone with no intention of fighting...
Come! We Fight!
Bido-kun!
It's just a small scratch on the finger tip. Just put some spit on it and it'll be fine.
Bido-kun is going to die!!
I messed up. How could I...
After I die....find a nicer guy, okay?
It's just a small scratch.
Stupid! Don't be stupid!
I'll never fall in love with anyone else!
- Bido-kun! - Why the fuss? It's just a scratch.
- Actually... - Yes?
My dream was... to marry you... and have lots of children...
...and make a baseball team...
You still can. You can start tonight. Why don't you do it tonight.
I'm so happy...
In heaven... In heaven some day...
I think you can do it tonight.
Ali~! I will love you FOREVER!
Save him...! Someone save him PLEASE!
What... What is this?
Shall we go?
They're crying.... Oh!
Wah, Yoshihiko, look at your face!
You're all so nice...
But how can you cry for this...?

"Yuusha Yoshihiko and Akuryo no Kagi"
Yoshihiko~ Yoshihiko~!
You finally show yourself kah?! Hotoke!
Sorry sorry...Really sorry...
I was busy with my family trip, you know...?
Why does a Hotoke have a family in the first place?
Why not?! Hotoke can have families too. What kind of discrimination is this?
- Let me see your wife! - I don't have to show you mmm~...
- Because she's ugly? - No she's not...
She's a little chubby Hirosue type.
- Who's Hirosue...? - Hey, wait, you blondy...
I'm not here to talk smack with you.
Listen up...Yoshihiko.
Ah...Yoshihiko is facing the wrong way.
Totally looking the wrong way... Yoshihiko, by any chance...
...you still can't see me?
I don't know why... But I can hear you...
All levels are back to the beginning. It can't be helped.
Oh, then, how about this?
(Solar Eclipse Glasses)
Oh...Oh... Now I can see you.
Hey, wait...you... that's...
...for the Annular Solar Eclipse, right? That everybody bought...?
Don't worry about it. At least he can see you.
Eh? Wait. Am I so bright that I'll damage your eyes?
Who cares. Just tell us what you want!
Understood. Ehh~ Yoshihiko!
Your target for this quest is...
...to find a key to seal the monsters and...
Oh, I said it twice... etto...
Cut! Cut!
Find a key to seal the monsters... Ehh~ find it...
And you must seal away all the monsters once again.
Oh..Then, where is this key? Tell me.
Why are you talking to me like that? May be that was... you know?
May be that was the reason...? (He got divorced in Feb 2012)
- Why don't you look at me? - Sorry...
- Oi... - Sorry. The Key is...
After the seal was broken by someone...
...the key flew away somewhere.
Since it's just one key, you must gather several keys...
...to try to fit in the lock. That's the only way.
Oh no.... Here comes another vague story...
What's your advice?
You'll be able to find the possible location of the keys maybe...
Only thing we can do is to gather all the keys...
Fine. Where's the first location? Hurry up and tell us.
Wait... neh...I'm... Neh...I'm...
I'm not a strategy guide, you know?
Right? Right? Am I wrong? Right?
Enough! Just tell us!
Fine. Um... It's in Ganza village.
Ganza village...
What's all this hustle and bustle...
- Excuse me... - This is Ganza village.
Yes. I know. It's on the sign there.
- Excuse me. - Yeah...We're so busy...
The village Chief's son is getting married. We're busy preparing for the celebration.
Village Chief...? Sounds like he may have the key, right?
Ohh... So you're the one claiming to be a Yuusha?
Yes, they said they must see you.
I'm Yuusha Yoshihiko. Is there something like a key passed down in your family?
- A key? - If you have one, may we have it?
- How did you know about the key? - So you do have it.
Well, I do have it but I can't give it to you.
Because it's a gift to the Princess who's marrying into our family.
Please, I beg you. As a favour to me.
There's no reason for me to do that.
- Then, as a favour to me. - No reason for you either.
Because, you're all strangers to me!
It's an expensive jewel encrusted gift. Go away! Go!
Young master! Big trouble!
Why? What happened?
The Princess has been kidnapped by forest bandits!
- What? - A message from the bandits said...
...that they'll make her the fifth wife of the boss.
We can't allow that. She's the daughter of the Village Chief in Kabana.
If I don't marry her, this family will be ruined!
But...we have no chance against them.
What should I do...? What can I do...?
Ahh~ Is there a brave man who'll save the Princess for me?
Ahh~ We're doomed.
All we have in the village is merchants. No one can fight.
Ahh~ The only option we have is to hire other mercenaries somewhere?
No, we can't hire mercs... Who knows what will happen later! Aahhhhhh~!!
Ahh~ He's noticed. He finally noticed.
Will you go for me?
Yes. I will save the Princess.
- In exchange... - Fine, you can have the key or whatever you want.
What?
What is he?
This is... A thief type monster.
- So he's a thief. - No, a thief TYPE monster.
- Th...that's confusing. - But he's skinnier than I thought.
- Either way, should I take him down? - Of course. I think you should.
Although he's skinnier than I thought...
- He's strong. - Yes he is.
I think it's too early for him to appear now...
Although he's skinnier than I thought.
Those thief type monsters... they came out of the woodwork.
Since they are strong, our damage is also great...
Hey, change this trick knife to a real one.
Sorry. Who knows when you'll attack me again.
But this trick knife is useless in a battle.
It'll be fine. When it retracts to this part here, it hurts a little.
Well, if it hurts a little, then fine...
Not sure why a little is enough...
During this nice conversation... at this right timing...
I've learned a new spell...
That's great. It'll be great against bandits.
- What kind of spell is it, Merebu-san?
- Then, let me try it on Murasaki. - Why me?
It may help you to become strong, even with the trick knife.
That's not possible...
How is it? Do you feel stronger?
- What kind of spell is this? - Your chin is sticking out!
Eh? Eh? Eh? What is this?
What did you do?
This spell will stick the enemy's chin out instantly.
I name this spell...
Underbiter...
- That's the name. - Underbiter...That's great!
Stop mes.ing aroun.! Hurry up a.d ch.nge me back!
Oy...How is this going to help in a battle?
A sense of discomfort...?
You feel a sense of discomfort.
That'll be the chance to...
...attack.
Can we win with just a sense of discomfort?
Of c.urse not! Ch.nge me bac. now!
Oh, I can't stand it! Merebu-san, please cast on me too!
Mep...Mep... Sure.
Oh hoh...Great! It's great! It's sticking out!
- Why are yo. so h.ppy? - With this, we're invincible!
Not invincible... maybe we'll be even weaker.
I'm an underbiter! I can bri.. do.. any thie...s!
What did you say? I didn't understand you.
I am Yuusha Yoshi.iko. I'm he.e to sa.e a princ.ss from Kab.na.
Merebu-san, thanks to you, I'm invincible.
Uhm...It's just your imagination.
I kinda like it but... as a Yuusha, it doesn't look good so let's change it back.
Wh...Why do you look so sad....?
Where's the Princess?!
Come.
I'm here to save you on behest of the Village Chief's son.
I'm your ally.
I can't believe it! This must be god's grace.
There's too many enemies around. Let's hurry.
Ah, please wait! Brave one!
Yoshihiko!
- Hurry up, or we'll be surrounded. - Right.
Hurry!
Please wait!
Ohhh...Princess...
This marriage is not all about business.
Although we haven't met, I'm deeply in love with you.
Just hearing about you, I was able to envision your beauty.
I, Yuusha Yoshihiko, have returned with the Princess.
Is that true? Well done!
Oh, my Princess.
You're more beautiful than I ever imagined.
Well...
Oh, I've been waiting for you. Come, let's prepare for our wedding.
No, master!
I've ordered the best tailor in the village to make your wedding dress.
- Someone, bring the wedding dress. - Master, please listen.
Ahh~, Yuusha, Good job!
You deserve to have the key!
- Thank you very much. - I'm so glad for you, Princess.
I...
I'm not the Princess.
Huh?
I'm...not the Princess.
Eh? Eh? Eh? What do you mean?
I am...
Mejiro, an attendant to the Princess for the wedding.
I'm not the Princess.
- Then where's the Princess? - Still back there at the lockup.
Eh?
How did this happen?
There were many enemies...and... we were in a hurry...
We hurried back being chased by enemies too...
The Princess was in the cell next to mine.
Oh, I see...
Then, um...
...the Princess was...
...much cuter...right?
Since she's the Princess, she's cuter, right?
Is she...iffy...?
Um...well...
It's not iffy... in my opinion...
What do you mean by...not iffy...?
Ug...Um....
Not iffy!
That's the best description, right?
Ah..um...
Murasaki, what do you think?
She's cute...I think...
Why did you say it like that?
The Princess is cute.
She's a very cute person. - Uhmm....
May I make a suggestion?
- Oh, sure. - Let's pretend Princess was killed...
..and I'll marry Mejiro-san instead.
The Princess' side too...
...might accept that I'm going to marry the attendant after recovering from grief, don't you think?
- Don't you agree? - But...
Let's do that. Mejiro-san will become rich too.
That's not right!
Even if she's hideous...
No, even if she's grotesquely hideous, you promised to marry her!
I see...
...she's hideous after all...
Yes. The Princess is hideous.
But so what?
I'm sure the Princess is looking forward to marrying you as well.
Just because she's hideous, it's not right to cancel the marriage!
Then, if it were you, can you marry that hideous Princess?
- I...I can't... - Yoshihiko, enough.
But...
You're tied to her with a 'red string*'. (*fated lovers)
Maybe...she was actually cute.
We were in such a hurry, maybe we thought she was hideous...
...maybe... that's possible...
I don't want someone who 'looks hideous' in a hurry either...
You think she was cute, right? Danjo.
Huh? eh? um...
Sure...Yeah....
- Are you a bad liar? - Yeah.
Right, she's cute. It's okay, She's cute.
What was that?
I'll go save the Princess.
- No need. - No I must.
I will bring the Princess here.
He said we didn't need to go...
Why don't we just accept his offer.
No. That's not right. Think of how the Princess must feel.
You should think of the young master's feelings too.
Once they're married, I'm sure he'll fall in love with her.
I wonder about that...mmm....mmm...
I'm glad you're safe, Princess.
I really believed that you'll come back for me.
Of course we would.
However, once the young master heard of your hideous face...
...he said he'll marry Mejiro-san...
Stop! You don't need to tell her...
Don't worry about it. He's lying...
I'm not lying! Did you already forget?
Yes, he said we don't need to save you because you're hideous.
But, you and the young master are linked by the red string!
That link will be severed by your story!
I'm sorry.
When we came here for the first time...
I didn't think you would be the Princess because of your hideous face.
I...
I do regret I judged you by your looks.
A Princess can be hideous too.
Yes.
Ugly Princesses do exist, just like you.
What's the matter, Danjo-san?
You got a cold?
- Just caught it. - Please take care of yourself.
Come on, get a clue. You honest fellow.
Come, Let's go see the young master.
Please wait.
Yes?
Actually....
I am...
...really beautiful.
Huh?
I was cursed by a monster...
...and became like this!
What the heck?
Once I heard a rumor...
That there's a magic mirror called 'Lou' in the swamps ahead.
If I look into the mirror, I can go back to my beautiful self...
That'll be wonderful.
Ah~ That's why Mejiro-san mentioned that you were cute.
Ah~ I see. That's what really happened.
Let's go... find the mirror.
Right!
I really appreciate all your help in this matter.
It's too early to thank us.
We must make your hideous face beautiful first.
Yes.
I believe the swamp is just ahead.
Fine. We must find it before nightfall.
However, you must be careful.
I heard there's a savage guardian protecting the path to the swamp.
That guardian is no match for me. I'll defeat it in a flash.
- Ah, there it is!. - Huh?
Where? Where's the guardian?
That one. That dog!
Areh....Isn't that a Chihuahua?
It's kind of cute.
That's the savage guardian!
That Chihuahua is the savage guardian? That's so ridiculous!
Yosh...
Let me go and pet him.
Would you like some milk, hmm?
- What the heck? - This is bad... very bad!
You! Killer Chihuahua!
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! No~!
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Not the same place!
I never thought 'underbiter' would work in a situation like this...
Once you cast your spell, it lost strength all of a sudden.
Alright, let's go.
Right.
What's up with this swamp?
Looks kind of poisonous... doesn't it?
So Poisonous looking...
- I'm going. - Are you sure, Yoshihiko?
Going into the swamp with this color...
I'll be fine.
Every step I take...
Feels like I'm losing my stamina...
Stop! Yoshihiko! With every step you take, you'll lose 2 points...
In a worst case scenario...death... I have that kind of feeling...
- Come back, Yoshihiko! - No!
I want the Princess to become beautiful and happily married.
- Yoshihiko... - Yoshihiko!
By the time you get to the center of the swamp, you'll be dead!
Even then, I must go!
I can't have the Princess remaining hideous!
- Yoshihiko-sa~n! - Yoshihiko~!
You are the Yuusha! A True Yuusha!
- I'm going! - You can't!
Ah.. Didn't have to go far. So glad...
Yaaahh... Princess....
I've been waiting for you...
Young master, we have good news.
No no, her safe return is the best news.
She's under a curse of a monster. That's why she looks like that.
Once she peers into this mirror, she'll be back to her beautiful self.
No way? Seriously?
I thought that's what happened!
Everyone heard of the rumors saying that she's cute!
I'm sorry to worry you.
Don't be...
We are tied by the red string....
Men are all the same....
Come, look into the mirror...
Thank you very much.
I've returned to my old self.
Princess! You're back safely...
Yes, they saved me.
Excuse me, did she look like this before she was put into the cell?
Yes, just as beautiful as always.
Oh, I see. So you didn't see them changing her face in the cell...
Got it. I understand now.
Excuse me...this is...
We've kept our promise.
The key. Let's have the key.
Cute, she's cute. No problem at all.
Let's leave before Yoshihiko says something he shouldn't.
Right, we got the first key.
By the way, if this is the 'Akuryo no kagi', then the quest is over, right?
I wonder...
Disappeared!
Which means, that wasn't the 'Akuryo no kagi'. Too bad...Next~.
Next~.
Oi, we're doing this based on your information, you know!
You gave us shoddy information and now telling us 'Next~'?
It seems to be a long quest again.
Seems like it...
Brother! Please let me join you on this quest.
I've learned Ninja skills.
I'll be able to assist you in battle.
Shrimp walk skill!
