Ack! - They look really strong! Oy!
It's proof that we are getting closer to 'Akuryo no kagi' (Episode 7)
Isn't this impossible for us at our current level?
We must fight with strong opponents to increase our level.
BRING IT!
It's useless Yoshihiko! Let's make a run for it!
No, they’ll just surround us.
We've come this far and we can't even defeat one...?
Oy, they'll cast spells soon!
What...? What is this?
- It's Moshasu... - What is that?
It's a spell to mimic your opponents.
- What's your purpose looking like us? - Oh, This should do well.
- Answer me! You Monsters! - Excuse us please, we'll be going now!
She's cuter than the real one~!
- Old man, You want to die!? - Well... The truth hurts. Can't be helped.
I'll kill you both.
They must be...going to the nearest village to ruin our reputations.
Oy, that's going to be very bad!
True, let's hurry, we must stop them!

"Yuusha Yoshihiko and Akuryo no Kagi"
(Village of Kirana)
- I heard Yuusha is here. - Let's go see him!
Thank you for visiting us. Yuusha Yoshihiko and companions.
Not at all. Thank you for your invitation.
So it's true that you've been brought back to life by Hotoke.
This village of Kirana was saved by Yoshihiko-sama during the Maou quest. (Season 1 Episode 3)
- Yes, I remember. - Ever since then, you're all...
...worshipped as heroes of this village.
Umup...We just did what came naturally.
This time we are on a quest to find 'Akuryo no Kagi'.
If possible, We would like to rest here for a while.
Of course! Please stay as long as you wish.
All the villagers are happy to welcome you.
If that's the case, we'll be enjoying our stay here.
Wow~! It's Yuusha-sama~!
Everyone listen! They're monsters!
They're pretending to be us and trying to harm you!
Prepare yourselves monsters! Show your true self!
- You're the damn fakes! - Eh!?
This is the true heroes of the village!
And they're very nice people.
HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE THEM AS MONSTERS?!!
You must be the fakes pretending to be Yuusha Yoshihiko!
- You must be the MONSTERS! - Must be!
- Stop it! - Ow!
- Stop that! - Get lost!
Everyone! Please wait.
They must have...
...a really good reason to pretend they're us.
Yes, he's right! Don't throw rocks at them...
Tell us honestly!
You just wanted to copy us because we're so cool, right!?
- So~ cute~ - You two better watch it!
That's not true. I'm the real Yuusha Yoshihiko!
Yoshihiko. He looks tired.
Let him rest for a while.
You're right.
After a good rest, they may come to their senses.
Yoshihiko-sama, you're too kind!
We should just run them off!
No we shouldn't.
Shall we let them rest a little?
Merebu! A spell.
Umup...!
Rariho *.. (*Dragon Quest snooze spell)
What is this?
Oi!
No one will believe you're the Yuusha dressed like that!
Your sword and staff are gone too!
Oi, Danjo without a sword is like...
Oi...it's like a Bonsai mania after retirement.
Yes yes yes...switched the sword to scissors... You fool!
What are they trying to do?
We must hurry and get them back.
Oi!
Yoshihiko-sama said you can leave the cell.
You should be thankful for Yuusha's kindness.
What...?
Yoshihiko...let's play along for now.
I am grateful to Yoshihiko-sama.
Ever since I was attacked by the green monster...
The poison has effected me badly...
Don't worry...
Worry...not...
- Kiary (antidote spell). - I'm cured!
Merebu-sama has cured me!
Thank you very much!
The phony Merebu has many spells...
Here we go. 1,2...
1...2...3! Got it?
Danjo-sama, please teach us how to spin tops next.
Danjo-ojisan is a genius at spinning tops!
Can you do it?
The phony Danjo is kind to children, and a real gentleman, huh?
Thank you for your hard work~!
Um...I...baked these cookies...
...please have some on your break.
Really?
Oi! Murasaki-sama has baked cookies for us!
I've made Japanese sweets many times but...
This is my first with western style sweets...
Please forgive me if doesn't taste good.
The phony Murasaki seems to be very ladylike and a good cook, huh?
I ate it thinking it was a plum pickle but it was a stone.
That's why my teeth are chipped everywhere.
Hi, ladies!
Listen to my story too.
Hey you!
Don't disturb the ladies.
The phony Yoshihiko is a cool hero that tells witty jokes, huh?
After reviewing the situation...
The fakes are....
...of much better quality.
I hate to admit but...that's true.
Especially you, Murasaki!
She has every female quality that you don't have.
What about you? The other one has so many useful spells! Sooo many!
Yoshipiko! YOSHIPIKO!
Ah! Good timing!
Ah...ah...
I said Yoshipiko and you looked over here!
It could've been somebody else~!
Hotoke-sama, How should we handle this situation?
About Yoshipiko, Just ignore it, okay?
E~to, as you must've suspected...
...most likely they're also after the 'Akuryo no Kagi'.
The Monsters are after the key too?
It seems the monsters are also trying to obtain the key to control the world.
It's becoming like 'first come, first served'.
So the key is in this village?
That I don't know.
However, the villagers seems to know the whereabouts of a 'key'
Also, the village law prohibits talking about this key.
I see, they're trying to trick the villagers to tell them the location.
That's correct.
Well, if you look at it, you're a little, no, totally at a disadvantage.
The Villagers ready to talk soon, situation like that?
However, in any bad situation, there is a solution.
YoMep, The solution, what's the solution...? Tell us.
- I don't know. - But you just said, there's a solution.
I only said there's a solution. I didn't say I know the solution.
- Don't be telling confusing things! - Why~!?
All I said was there's a solution so don't give up!
Just because you're in a predicament, don't be taking it out on me.
Just go and figure it out!
Oy! Don't be picking your nose! KonoYarou!
Hotoke needs to pick sometimes too you know~!
Oy, don't yell at me! You fool!
You...picking your nose...Oy.... Don't eat it!
Don't eat it! What's wrong with you?!
Regarding our displeasure and impatience...
Don't you have a big and forgiving heart?!
- Aren't you the Hotoke? - Do you know...
...what...others call me?
Hotoke with a very small heart.
Let me sing, Hotoke with a very small heart.
Small...small...heart...
Hotoke with a very small heart. Ah!
Ah! I want to fart....
Well well...
The Legendary Yuusha's honor is utterly destroyed.
But your unfashionable look...
Really suits you well!
I will not...
In any circumstance let you have the 'Akuryo no Kagi'!
No matter what you try, the villagers are already on our side.
They'll give us the information soon enough.
Before that,...
I'll reveal your true form in front of them.
And show them you're the monsters.
Hu hu hu.
Who do you think will believe in the poor quality Yuusha group?
Hu hu hu... Hu.
There are things only a human can understand.
Hu hu hu....Hu hu.
You talk too much.
Gira!
It seems this is a village that you've saved in the past.
How do you feel to be betrayed by them?
The Villagers are not to be blamed.
They're just being deceived by you.
Such a soft guy, how did you ever defeat Maou?
However, this time, it won't be so easy.
This world will...soon belong to us monsters.
Oh, and...
Once we have the key,
We'll kill you along with all the villagers.
Look forward to it.
- I'll look forward to it. - Don't be crying to us later!
Ah~! That's not nice. You have no elegance.
Shut it! You goody-goody Biatch!
Hyadaruko.
We'll obtain the key.
Us monsters will not be sealed.
I'll not...I'll not allow it!
- Seasoned cooked rice MUST be a little burned. -
- Of course not all burned... -
- You eat the unburned part... -
- ...then eat the burned part. That's how it should be made. -
Who are you?
- Yoshihiko-sama. - You are...?
I'm the descendant of a villager who you saved a long time ago.
How do you know I'm the real one?
This is...
...a portrait passed down in my family.
It does not look like the fake one at all. (Yuusha Yoshihiko)
Will you help us?
Unfortunately the key to the cell is in the safe at the elder's house.
However, I can tell you the location of the legendary key.
But I'm told you're not supposed to tell...
You're the exception.
I do appreciate it.
This is...the map to show the location.
Please, keep this out of the monsters hands.
Thank you very much.
I'll defeat the monsters and obtain this key.
Please be careful.
What's the matter Yoshihiko, and so early in the morning?
What do you want to discuss with them?
What do you want to talk to us about?
Actually, I know the location of the key.
Do you really think we'll believe your lies?
It's the truth. Someone told me.
A man in the village believes I'm the real Yuusha.
Is this...the man?
- What the heck? - I knew it.
Fine, lead us to it.
If this is a lie,..
...we'll kill him along with your companions.
Fine.
Please wait here. I'll go with them.
- Fine. - I'm trusting you.
Come back safe. Yoshihiko.
Ahh...
Why don't you go back to being monsters, so you won't have to fight?
As long as you're with us, they'll think we are their enemies.
And I'm sure it's more comfortable for you to travel with us looking like this.
There's no reason for you to worry about me!
Let me take charge! Attack!
Spell!
Attack!
Sorry about this, Yuusha.
We don't like fires...
It gives the feel of it. It's more... refreshing.
Ne~ Ne~ I made some noodles. Would you like some?
That's great. Nice to have cold food on a hot day.
Here.
Have some too. Yuusha.
We don't want you to die here.
I won't die so easily.
You won't have any...?
I made it for you too.
I won't eat anything made by a monster.
You're mean....
Why do you have to say such mean things...?
Ah~ ah~ You made her cry...
Yuusha made a girl cry~!
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.
- No matter what, we are... - Then would you like some?
Ahh...
Good.
- Here! - Let's eat.
Ah~! So good~!
So, Humans get to eat food like this everyday...
Not everyday. It's once in a while...
Even once in a while, I envy you.
I want to become human!
Heh heh, We don't really want to become human, right?
Sorry, it was just spur of the moment.
How is it? Yoshihiko.
- Ahh.... - I'm so happy!
Oy!
You...
You shouldn't fall in love with a human, you know?
Yoshihiko...
I hope he hasn't been killed by the monsters already...
I know what he is trying to do.
Using the monsters as much as he can to obtain the key.
Then, he'll get rid of the monsters.
But how can he do that by himself?
They're really strong to begin with.
Well...
He's a Yuusha.
He's shown unbelievable powers at times.
I'm sure he'll do the same again.
YuMep, all we can do is believe in him.
At this timing...
I've learned a new spell.
- Let me announce it. - No need to announce it.
No one is interested in your spells except Yoshihiko.
Be..Interested.
If it's useful in battles...
This spell will drive enemies into a corner.
Are you sure?
Omae Sah! Why do you have to...always...
...doubt everything... There, cast on you!
Like I said...um.
Nothing happened.
Didn't you...just for a second... remembered a bad memory, right?
- How did you know? - This is...
...a spell to make them recall bad memories. I call it.
- Traumu... - That's not bad.
By the way, what was the bad memory that came to your mind?
Why do I have to tell you?
Without knowing that, we won't know how effective the spell is.
Say it Murasaki!
It's about...tomorokoshi (corn)...
For the longest time...
I called it tomokoroshi ...
Worthless!
- It's corn, Murasaki. - Stop it.
- Not cornin....? - I said stop it!
- It's a Tadpole. Not a Tapdole. - Never said that.
I wonder what kind of trauma the monsters will remember?
Monsters don't have any trauma in the first place.
- What? - Watch out! Hyadaruko!
Thanks. You've saved me.
Just a little more. Let's finish this!
Now, go!
This is it.
We got it.
Yoshihiko is here! We're getting impatient!
- Did you find the key? - Yes.
This is it.
What did you do with the monsters? Did you get rid of them?
No.... they're waiting for me outside.
Waiting...for you?
Eh? What do you mean?
We worked together to get this key. They even saved my life once.
They're actually very nice monsters.
I see.
Thanks for helping Yoshihiko.
Oh, don't mention it.
We've misunderstood humans too.
Wait wait wait, do they really mean it?
Of course. Yoshihiko is a wonderful Yuusha.
I see, I'm glad you understand that.
Thank you for all your help.
Right, Yoshihiko, let's go.
Merebu-san, you got it wrong.
From now onwards, I'm going to travel with them.
WHAT!?
O...o...o.. What do you mean?
Don't talk nonsense, Yoshihiko!
Are you going to betray us?
IT'S EASY FOR ME!
Most of all, the fighting is so easy.
They have so many spells. All I need to do is stand back.
Strategy...order...
Attack...spell...
That's all I need to do.
And if I order 'Conserve life' tactic,
They'll protect my life no matter what!
And this Murasaki...
- Can cook. - Cooking is not the only quality for a woman!
IT IS IF I SAY IT IS!
After a battle what do you think nourishes this body?
Meat and potato, Stir-fried Vegetables, Miso soup...
And...
Seasoned cooked rice with a little burned...
Murasaki...
What can you make?
- A ready made curry in a bag! - THAT'S NOT COOKING!
Just boil the water, EVEN I can do that!
- I can make frozen Gyoza too! - YOU FOOL!
Ah! Your face! No good! Murasaki!
Come back! Come Back to us!
Does this mean...? Merebu...
Our journey ends...here?
No it does not.
Follow me.
What?
Are you Luida-san?
Yes I am. This is Luida's bar.
I heard you can keep my companions.
- Who would you like me to keep? - What...um...info..where...?
Are we going to be kept...here?
Yes. I'll come back for you when I feel like it.
Wait! Yoshihiko! Yoshihiko!
That's right! Yoshihiko... He's a bottomless fool...
This is the new beginning of our quest.
Ahh...
Brother, are they your new companions?
It's good timing.
I've mastered boxing. Please let me join you.
Yamada Takayuki - Yoshihiko
- It's not THE END! You fool! - Hotoke!
You know what...? Yoshi Yoshi Yoshihiko.
Yo-kun...Yo-kun...
Are you an idiot?
- Little bit stupid? - What do you mean Hotoke?
- I don't understand. - Well, those you're with...
Yes, them. They are...they are... monsters you know?
Yes, but they're very nice.
I see, Nice guys. Okay, alright... alright...
But...first of all...Your goal...
- It's not the same, right? - My goal?
The reason you are looking for the 'Akuryo no Kagi'. What is it?
To seal all the monsters away.
OH! Santa Maria! Please don't ever forget that.
Input that into your brain. Okay?
And for the phony Yoshihiko, what is your goal?
To not let anyone seal us away and to increase the monster population.
- What did you say? - Well, they did say that before.
They said that from the start.
You too... said "I won't allow it"!
Is that true?
Are you trying to increase the monsters in this world?
Hey, we already told you that!
- You fools! - They're NOT the fools!
After traveling and having been fed by them, you just forgot about it.
Yoshihiko...
You're going to help us monsters take over the world, right?
- Of course not you fool! - YOU'RE THE FOOL!
How did this happen...?
By the way, how can you let someone else take your place?
Damn it!
- You tricked me! - No they didn't!
Hey, where are you going!?
- You got to be kidding me! - Too loud. Keep it down.
Everyone!
- You're here already? - Who would you like to take with you?
Now is not the time to be drinking in a place like this!
The Monster's objective is to get the key and increase the monsters in this world!
I know! They already said that!
Then, what are you doing in here?
You're the one who left us here!
You like the girl that can cook, right?
Cooking? Don't be ABSURD!
You're the one who said it first!
- So, who would you like to take...? - SHUT UP!!!
Hurry up, let's fight them!
Or the monsters will walk away with the key.
AhMo, Let's drink up a little more, right? A bit more.
MOVE IT PEOPLE!
I was almost deceived by these monsters.
Nope, I don't think they deceived you.
After all this, it's still a fake...
Truly, I've had enough of fakes for today.
Let's fight together until all the monsters are sealed away.
He's not sorry for what he did at all...
