Man, I'm tired.
But... we sure did git a lot done today.
Iria's gon' be popular for a while now.
Hey, your accent's coming out again.
Anyway, next on our schedule is...
Yes, yes...
Understood.
It's from the higher-ups.
They want to talk to you.
Episode 07: I Want To Let You...
Wait for me, Mina!
I'm coming from you!
But the dimensional currents are unstable in the back roads.
They'll drain your energy pretty quickly.
Back roads?
They told us to come to them.
We should just go in through the front.
You're an idiot.
You'd go out of your way to tell the enemy we're there.
We're up against the head of the Galdarblog house.
We need to act cautiously or
we won't even be able to come close to saving Mina.
That bastard.
Oh, we're almost there.
Th-This is...
Grimwald...
And that controls everything in this world.
It's called the Tours-Soleil.
Looks like a castle.
All of the energy we collect from humans
is stored in the Tours-Soleil.
The energy from the
souls is transformed into Grimwaldian energy,
and produces this world's "sun."
Sun?
That's not all.
In the middle of the Tours-Soleil,
there's a gate that connects this world to the human one.
We travel through the gate when the humans
we're in charge of are about to die,
collect the energy we need from the human world, and come back.
It's said that the gate was originally created to close
the rift between the human world and Grimwald,
and that it's there to make sure
that rift doesn't get any larger.
For generations, the female line, the Restall family have
managed the grim reapers that travel through the gate, as well as the gate itself.
But all of a sudden,
the Galdarblog family started a rebellion
against the royal family,
and picked a fight with the Restall family.
Galdarblog is holed up in the Tours-Soleil right now.
So that means Mina's there too.
Probably.
Anyway, let's get ready for an attack.
I'm alive...
Let's get going.
Where are we going?
Isn't the Tours-Soleil that way?
In order to fight against Galdarblog,
we're going to need more information and power.
We need to go to my house
and get my mother to help.
You know that Mina might be right there!
We need to save her as soon as possible.
I already told you.
We're up against the strongest man in all of Grimwald.
If we're not careful,
things might not go as well as you think.
It'll be fine.
If he's the strongest man in Grimwald,
I'm the hero that's awoken the legendary sword, Graham.
I'll kick Galdarblog's ass with my righteous perviness.
Wait!
Ryousuke-san!
Wait, Mina!
I'll be right there.
I'm sure he'll show up if we wait.
That being said, we'd like you to do something for us.
Your next mission is to get them to
infiltrate from a certain point.
Mission?
Who would tell me to...
If Galdarblog-sama is able to seize control,
the Restall family is as good as finished.
Sounds like something you'd want.
Then you were the one...
And now you want me to lure Lisara into a trap...
Wh-Where am I?
Oh yeah, I...
This is...
The world must be returned to its rightful state.
Who are you?
The royal family has fallen.
We must not pander to humans.
The human world and Grimwald
must be returned to their proper form.
I need an exceptional amount of energy to do that.
A human with a large amount of power?
No, I don't care about that any longer.
I desire the lost treasure of the royal family
that was restored in the human world.
The lost treasure of the royal family...
Ryou-chan's Graham?!
I will get the treasure back.
I was originally supposed to have half of that sword.
We've detected Graham's signature.
So he's here.
Took the bait perfectly.
That's why you...
Hurry and intercept him.
Wait!
What should I do...
Because of me, Ryou-chan is...
You're in the way!
Calnoon Pradul!
Calnoon Soras!
Onee-sama.
They just keep coming.
We should regroup just like Onee-sama said, Ryousuke-san.
No, if we're gonna go, we're going now.
Determination is important
for a hero that's gonna save a girl.
Ryousuke-san!
Decisiveness (ketsudanryoku)...
That can also be spelled as...
That's right!
Ass elasticity (ketsudanryoku).
What's important is that soft, squishy feeling!
Ryousuke!
What's going on...
Aren't these guys scared of dying?
Of course not!
These guys will do whatever
they need to do to accomplish their objective!
They don't get scared, and don't feel pain!
They'll keep coming over and over again,
until they complete the objective they were given,
even if it means sacrificing their own lives!
Y-You can't be serious...
Quele?!
Are you okay?!
Quele!
Wake up, Quele!
I need to do something...
Something...
Ryousuke! Quele!
Flotty!
Iria?!
What are you doing, Lisara?!
I can't think of you as
my rival if you're pulling off shit like that.
Shut up!
Let's go, Lisara!
Cut through them!
Calnoon Pradul!
Do it, Flotty!
Huh? Where am I...
Oh, he's awake.
That was faster than I expected.
He's pretty tough.
Angels? Did I die?
Are you okay?
Don't rush yourself.
Huh? Lisara?
No, can't be.
What do you mean by that?!
This is our house.
It was a pain bringing you here.
Huh? Then this is...
My mother.
My name is Almeia Restall.
Nice to meet you.
Lisara's... That means...
She's the current head of the Restall family.
Since I'm part of the Sellier house,
she's basically my aunt.
Quele, are you still hurt?!
Auntie used all of the power behind
the Restall house to perform my healing.
I'm fine now.
Thank god...
S-Sorry...
Huh?
This was my fault.
I got all worked up...
Oh? Oh?
Lisara-chan, I see how it is.
I thought you just left,
but I guess you had found such a nice gentleman in the human world.
There had been signs that Galdarblog
was going to rebel for a while now.
Lisara-sama is the next head of the Restall family.
So she secretly went to the human world using the back roads
to obtain a stronger power to win against the Galdarblog family.
The Restall family manages people traveling back
and forth between the human world,
so it's not like I could just use the gate without permission.
I couldn't have Galdarblog find out that we found
a person with a lot of energy, so I didn't have a choice.
Or rather, you've got the wrong idea about Ryousuke and I!
We're just in a provisional contract.
You don't have to get so embarrassed.
She might be a little crude and have a flat chest,
but she has a great sense of responsibility.
Oh, yeah, so...
I've got an important mission here!
I'm not doing this for fun!
Lisara...
Yeah, but we never ended up finding that person we were looking for,
and now Mina's gotten involved.
This is pretty bad.
But instead we found this kind, wonderful knight.
Right, Ryousuke-san?
No, I'm not...
I...
Anyway, Hild, Ulus...
Yes, Almeia-sama.
Wh-What... are you doing?
Just sit still.
We'll make it good for you.
Huh? What?
So? Does it feel good?
I'm not sure how to respond to that.
This is getting me worked up, too.
N-Not you, too, Mother.
It's all just part of the healing magic.
And it's making Ryousuke's perv power come back.
So it all works out.
Yeah, but...
That's enough!
Thank you!
Ryousuke?!
Ryousuke-san?
It's all broken.
You're such a klutz.
It's okay. This place is protected by a special barrier,
so enemies can't easily get us here.
You don't have to worry about a thing.
Just rest until your wounds heal.
But I'm already fine—
No, not yet.
Sometimes it's not something physical that ails someone.
Understand?
What are you planning on doing?
Ryousuke-san didn't look like he'd be able to fight.
We don't have time to sit around.
I'm going to meet up with Iria and try to rescue Mina.
But Onee-sama...
If I take Ryousuke and he can't use his imagination,
it'll be like handing Graham over to the enemy.
But...
The two of you can't fight Galdarblog alone.
Iria brought information on how to infiltrate Tours-Soleil.
I'll request the Restall army to help, so it'll be fine.
If for some reason that doesn't work out,
I leave the rest to you.
Onee-sama...
That's my daughter for you.
Auntie...
Quele,
if you're a daughter of the Sellier family,
with royal blood running through your veins, you should understand as well.
We will believe in Lisara, and quietly await her return.
But...
You're a Merlot employee, right?
Who was it that gave you Flotty?
Employees should just do whatever the company tells them to do.
You're alone?
Oh well.
Let's go.
I didn't think it would turn out this way...
Mina...
Ryou-chan...
Entrance Ceremony
So what did you want to talk about?
Well...
Y-You've always made sure I was okay.
I'm really happy about that.
Thanks.
Why are you bringing that up now?
You're acting kind of weird today, Mina.
It should be fine right?
We're in our second-year now...
I can just tell him, right?
Y-You know...
I-I know that you're nice to all girls.
I think that's really good.
I think that's wonderful. I'm serious.
But you know...
I'd like you to protect just me from now on....
Huh?
I mean...
I mean, I...
Yeah, I got it.
Really? Then we'll...
Women are treasures!
I'll keep treasuring them and keep them safe!
I leave the rest to you.
Quele...
Why are you here so late?
Ryousuke-san...
I want you to...
...have me.
Quele, don't push yourself too much.
I should take care of this,
as I have plenty of experience—
No, Auntie, I think older women should stay out of this.
What was that?!
Stop you two!
Well, you'd rather have me, wouldn't you, Ryousuke-san?
Rival, Sways
Perv the situation!
Why you little brat!
What?!
