What is that?
What is...that sinister looking black smoke?
Something must've happened... (Episode 9)
No doubt something evil... (Episode 9)
Is the end of the world getting closer...?
We must make haste...
O~i! Hotoke~!
Something bad is happening! Hotoke~!!
Do I have something here...? There! Ro~n!
I Got the Dragon tiles and bonus, another bonus. 8000 points! Yeah~!
Huh? He hasn't noticed us yet. He doesn't know we can see him.
Oi, We're in trouble and he's got time to play Mahjong.
Hey, can I borrow a a lighter? Lighter?
I need to light this. Isn't this a USB drive?
Isn't this a USB drive? You know what...?
You can't light cigarettes with a data stick you know? Ha, idiot!
Oi, Idiot! We can see you Hotoke. You're the idiot and we can see you!
- How many times do you need to do that? - Eh!? Sorry...
You can see me...? Did you see what I was doing?
We can see you.. Eh? What? You have no control over this?
Eh? What? What control?
We just saw a sinister looking black smoke over the mountain.
Now is not the time to be playing Mahjong you know.
What are you saying? What Mahjong?
You know, I'm Hotoke. Hotoke don't play no Mahjong.
We just heard you call out Ro~n! You were so happy getting 8000 points!
- What? You heard that? - Hotoke-sama. What's going on in the world?
You're right. Something very serious has happened.
Like I said. I can hear you shuffling the tiles! What do you want to tell us?!
Eh~...'Akuryo no Kagi' has been... um...taken.
- EH!? - What do you mean?
There is a monster boss race that's trying to prevent itself from being sealed.
Well, his name is the God of darkness, Deathtark...
He uh... was it yesterday? or the Day before? It was yesterday.
Um... he found the 'Auryo no kagi' before you... Oh Po~n!
Oi! Stop playing Mahjong!
WHY WOULD I? You dumbass. I'm doing really good today. Dumbass.
We're all dying over here.
We're in the critical phase. Be more serious!
What? Hey, Danjo...
Or should I call you Dan-kun. Don't be mad.
Ah! Order Hoppy* for everyone! I'll pay for it. Sure I'm fine. I'm lucky today. (Beer tasting beverage)
Hey, feel the urgency. Let me say again. Tell us quickly!
LIKE I SAID!!
'Akuryo no Kagi' has been taken by Deathtark so go get it back!
- We can get it back? - Yes.
Deathtark has already opened a large hole into this world...
...and created a dark world deep within.
However, to fight him, you'll need the strongest of equipments.
Up ahead, there is a village called Estas. There you'll find possible...um..possible
Oh, a man can possibly create those equipments.
Eh~...You must...um...see...
A man... oh, visit. You must visit him.
A sketchbook. Who is holding that?
That...sorry, I can't see that.
That man is an inventor in the village...
I can't see it. Move your finger.
Find that inventor in that village. Right.
You're more vague than ever. Why don't you tell us what we need. You're the Hotoke after all!
Make haste! Yuusha Yoshihiko.
The Key is in the hands of evil.
Make haste! Yuusha Yoshihiko~!
I'm done! Sorry for the wait! Ah~! I'll take that!
The God of darkness... Deathtark.

(Estas Village)
Excuse me, is this the house of Morgan-san?
- Maybe he's not here. - Morgan-san!
Morgan-dono! Are you home?
Morgan-dono~!
There! That's the normal routine for the inventors entrance.
- Are you Morgan-san? - Yes I am but what do you need?
We would like you to make us equipments to defeat the God of darkness, Deathtark.
To defeat Death...tark...?
Eh? What is that?
I'm sure you don't get it but...
Simply put, a really strong armor and shield...
...helmet and other equipments. We would like you to make them for us.
Eh~!? I'm not sure if I can make them...
- It was told to us by Hotoke! - But these are my usual inventions...
Ehto...what is that?
This is...an automatic table flipping machine.
When you feel angry, you lift up here.
Then, this table flipping machine will...Watch.
- It'll flip the table for you. - Isn't it easier to do it yourself?
- Lift action is no different anyway. - Amazing!
With this, anyone can become a pig-headed old man.
No need for that.
And... look at this.
This is a Jyanken winner determination machine.
You, play jyanken!
Rock paper scissors, try it again.
- Amazing! - Let's try again.
- Oh, sorry, which one of you won? - Why do you ask?
- Well, I won. - I see.
Eh!? Am I the one determining?
Eh, The Flag is not going up.
And you said it's automatic, but you're moving it manually.
Ai!!
We want to talk about the Strongest of Equipments!
And take look at this!
Look at this rice cooker!
It looks just like an ordinary rice cooker.
This is called an ultra rice cooker.
It cooks unbelievably great tasting rice.
- That sounds great! - However, it takes 5 years to cook.
That's too long...
And, this is the rice that took 5 years to cook.
Please try it. It's really good.
Here try it.
Yah! I'm surprised. It tastes like normal.
- DELICIOUS! - And there are more...
KORA~! Let's talk equipments.
Ah~! That's most likely the....
...secret defense gears handed down in my family...
- Secret defense gears...? - Yes.
However...
...to make them...
I'll need a rare metal...called orichalcom.
Orichalcom?
The unbreakable metal? That orichalcom?
I thought it was a myth. It really exists?
However, to obtain it,...
You must climb a steep mountain located to the west of this village.
That mountain is infested by evil spirits.
Evil spirits...? I'm looking forward to it.
Don't even joke about it.
No one has ever returned from that mountain alive.
It's an evil mountain that refuses to let anyone near it!
No matter what, we must go.
We must defeat the God of Darkness, Deathtark.
Take this map with you.
Once we have the orichalcom, I can make strongest of equipments for you!
- Come back safe! - We will.
Here... comes the monsters.
They look kind of cute.
They are the new monsters to ever come out.
What do you mean, new ones...?
I mean, they're the new monsters from the newest one!
I don't understand what you're saying...
Since they're new, I don't know how to fight them.
Yoshihiko, you haven't played the new one yet?
What do you mean, new one?
I mean 10. X.
- What do you mean, 10? - X!
OttOh!
Here comes the bandit. However...
...the enemy haven't noticed us yet...
- AH! - Finally noticed us.
Stop right there. Hand over all your food and money!
What're you doing? We're not your target right?
You were just passing by, weren't you?
My name is Eliza the bandit.
Quite well known in this area.
- Ah! Shoot! - What's wrong?
I have no makeup on right now, right?
Well, I can't really tell...
- Yes, you have no makeup on. - Oh no!
May I go put on some makeup before we fight?
Why bother. We already saw you without it.
No~! It's so embarrassing! Please don't look at me.
If you don't want us to look at you, why don't you just go away?
I don't want to. I still want all your food and money.
I don't think it's possible by yourself...
Ah, then, can I fight you with my face hidden?
Like this. This.
Heh heh. Of course NOT!
What is this relaxing feeling...?
- Should we ask her to put makeup on? - No need.
Ano, like we said earlier, we've already seen you...
Don't worry about it. No one will look closely during the fight.
No no no. Just in case, maybe, if somehow I lose...
There is a much better chance of that happening...
That means, I'll die here, right?
All the passers by will see my dead body...
Then everyone will say... "She has no make up on!"
- No one will say that to the dead. - Anyhow, please!
If I fight with no makeup on, Akimoto-sensei will get mad at me.
Who is this Akimoto-sensei...?
That's gonna be tough on you. You don't want him to be mad at you...
You know him? What kind of sensei is he? You don't know right?
I beg you please! I'll be quick.
Please everyone. Let her put her makeup on.
Yoshihiko, you're too soft...
Thank you very much! I'll be very quick.
And then, I'll take care of all 4 of you very quick too.
We''ll wait for you here so take your time.
Oh, you're so kind! Alright then, I'll be right back.
(30 minutes later)
Sorry to keep you waiting!
30 minutes is really pushing your luck!
Now we fight!
Not much DIFFERENCE!!
But somehow, Yoshihiko is hard on the female appearance...
It's a spell that's unknown consequences?
Oh, that's right. Yoshihiko's memory was erased by Hotoke so he doesn't know...
Don't need to say that!
According to the spell book, it's called Parupunte.
- Parupunte? - What a Strange name...
...and of unknown consequences too...
Try it. Try Parupunte on me.
Eh~. I can't take responsibility if anything bad happens.
No worries.
What happened?
Transported instantly to the village we visited before.
- It's Rura! - A village we've visited before?
Hey you all! What are you doing you fools?!
That's... Konpachi!
The college entrance exam is just round the corner.
What are you doing throwing rocks at someone's house!?
It's the village of Saku~ra!
How did this happen?
- I'm sorry. - Areh!?
But that Konpachi... doesn't he look a bit different?
Well...it's still Konpachi but...
..a different agency... Ah, back back back take us back Murasaki!
Or all our progress will be wasted.
Eh~!? I don't know if I can do that...
We have no business here anymore. Take us back quickly.
Got it!
Are we back?
I think so.
But that was quite surprising. Parupunte can become Rura spell too?
- Are you able to control the spell? - Nope.
That's how this spell works. It can't be helped.
We still have to rely on my spells to fight.
None is useful anyway.
Oi Yoshihiko... I know we're in hurry but...
Walking around at night is dangerous you know.
Just a little more... I want to go up a bit more.
Yoshihiko...
If we run into nocturnal monsters, we won't have a chance!
Danjo is right. We should find a place to start a campfire and settle for the night.
- I want to make a little more headway. - Here we go!
Well! If you don't want to die, hand over all your food.
It's pretty rare to see a bandit at this time of night instead of monsters.
Oh, Sorry.
I'm not like all the other bandits you may have encountered.
- What? - I'm...
- ...not human! - You look human to me.
Look!
It's a full moon.
If you get the hint,...
- ...just leave all your food and run. - I don't get your hint.
We're in a hurry, so please step aside and let us through.
I see... that's a pity...
Now it's too late. Your lives will end here.
What did you say?
What? What's happening?
Sounds like he's in pain...
- Don't tell me! He's a...Werewolf! - What?
Man turns into a wolf under the full moon...
- It's a Werewolf! - That's not good!
He's a seriously dangerous monster!
Oh shoot! He's turning into a werewolf!
Ah~! Oh... Eh!?
- Huh? - What's wrong?
- Just a... um...
Full moon...
- Eh? - Oh, it's hiding...
Um...
- What should I do...? - What should...you do..? Um...?
Could it be...without the full moon visible...
...you can't change...?
Um...
- Yeah... - Good.
- All depends on the moon. - Seriously?
So what is he really? Is he just a very hairy...man...?
Don't say that. He's about to become a werewolf. Be nice.
But look at his eyes and nose...
...Looks like someone with an unfinished costume at a party.
Stop it! But you're right. That nose...looks so funny.
Yoshihiko...
Do we need to wait...
...for the moon to come back out?
Yes...Um..is the moon coming back out?
I'm not...
...sure...
Um... the cloud...
...looks pretty thick...
Eh oh, until just a little while ago, the full moon was beautiful...
- That stupid cloud... - Yes you're right.
Err, how about this?
For now we go first.
If the moon comes back out, you can finish transforming and then come attack us.
Ah!
You agree to that?
Then, we can pass now, right?
Oh, sure.
Then, I'll see you later when I've become fully transformed... so Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu...
Ohagi*! Ohagi hahaha (*Mochi rice covered with sweet red bean paste)
But orichalcom is so far away!
With so many demons and monsters around, it feels even further.
This is another one of Hotoke's trials. Let's do our best.
Ah! A monster! Running towards us!
Fine. I'll get him.
Ara! The Monster collapsed.
Excuse me, can you take me to the hospital?
Are you sick?
Here~!
You are!
Could it be, you're after the orichalcom too?
Ahh. (Yes we are.)
To defeat the God of Darkness, Deathtark, we must have the strongest metal.
Ho~. Defense gears, is it?
I want to make strongest sword that can cut through anything.
I'll kill every human around me.
And live like a king!
What?
I can't let someone evil like you obtaining the orichalcom!
You won't be talking like that much longer!
Why?
Listen.
I've...
...studied under the famous martial artist...
Master Amaji Seikyo...
...for 5 years!
Eh? What? Master what?
Master Amaji Seikyo!
You heard of him?
No...nope.
I'm sorry.
None of us has ever heard of your master. I'm really sorry.
I don't really care about that!
I've met a man who is feared as the strongest man in the world...
Samuel Basazale!
I made him say he'll never ever want to fight with me again!
Samuel Ba...
Ah, okay. I'll ask. Um. Sorry.
May I ask the name of that strongest man again?
Samuel Basazale!
The strongest man in the world!
If I ever heard of it, I think I would've remembered...
Eh? Ah. Samuel...Ja... Samuel Jack...son..?
BASAZALE!
Sorry but for some reason, we don't get your bragging tales...
Don't make fun of me! You're all just ignorant!
HowEver!
Even for ignorant people like you...
If you listen to this story, you'll all shudder.
Don't think you can reach orichalcom!
Shoot! How strong are you?
Don't tell anyone!
The Falgichion brothers who died last month...
The One who killed them was...
...me...!
Who are they again...?
Never heard of them... What to do...?
- Fine. The One who killed the Fantasta brothers... - Wait wait wait.
What was that? Wasn't that a comical name?
People!
How did you come this far without knowing the Falgichion brothers!
Enough talk! Hurry up and fight me!
- Come! - Fine!
Known to be of the strongest standing.
Hanekabuse on-Yamasato~!
With Yoshizawa double swords technique! I kill you!
Eh? You bend down that far? Not cool and looks weired.
You should be grateful. You won't die.
- Just a little sleep. - Oh...
Then...
I'll brag about it!
Tell me your name...
In this timing, near orichalcom...
I've obtained another spell.
Since I obtained Parupunte, you feel ashamed to announce...
Foolish Miss Tiny Tits Murasaki.
Miss Secretary of tiny tits.
Madam secretary's Parupunte is an unpredictable and dangerous spell.
My spell can actually work.
My spell will actually work.
I don't remember ever using it...
What kind of spell is it?
Let's try it.
Nothing...is happening...
Nothing happened to anyone's face either.
Well, I don't feel any heat or cold either...
Ho ho~!
It's a fire type spell I've obtained for the first time.
Is it Gira? But I don't see any fire...
When I cast this spell...
Fire is set on the stove, ...in some house somewhere...
- What? - I can't target any particular house but...
By now, some stove in someone's house has a fire on...
-...and is cooking rice... - Amazing!
I call this spell...
Mera chakka (ignited)...
That's the name.
You...have no intention to use the spell in a battle, right?
Cast again, please. Cast Mera chakka again!
Mepmep, fine. mera chakka.
In some house somewhere, delicious rice is being cooked!
Let's get going.
As suspected, the monster protecting orichalcom was this type too.
Don't be silly!
A squirrel is possible but...
How can a hamster be a guardian monster!? It's not possible!
I'll go hold him!
~ Tottoko ~
~ Tottoko Hamjiro ~ (Singing Tottoko Ham-Taro song)
What!? What is this!?
Old man always falls in the same manner...
You! Killer Hamster!
- No no no. - Wait he's still eating!
It was hard to hit such a small animal...
Let's go. Orichalcom is right over there.
This is it.
How do we open this?
The spell to open the door is written here.
'Open Sesame!'
I always wanted to say that.
Old man, can you stop that? What's 'Open Sesame'...?
- It's little long so let me do it. - Sure.

So this is orichalcom...?
Good job with gathering the equipments.
Now, let's go to where the God of Darkness, Deathtark resides!
Brother! I've finally mastered the secrets of an art!
ArEh!? Brother! Where are you going?!
So, this is the dark world...
Deathtark...where are you hiding...?
Looks like it's filled with monsters here...
We must fight, or we'll never find the key.
Let's go.
What the heck?
