1. 'Tis time for torture, Princess.
Copy !req
2. Princess, today's torture
is beach sword fighting.
Copy !req
3. The rules are simple.
Copy !req
4. Pop the balloons on your
opponents' heads to win.
Copy !req
5. How is this torture, exactly?
Copy !req
6. Your opponents shall be Youki and Inki.
Copy !req
7. Should you lose, Princess, you will
divulge the empire's secrets.
Copy !req
8. I see. So, what if I win?
Copy !req
9. You think you can win?
Copy !req
10. Snicker.
Copy !req
11. What?
Copy !req
12. We're champions of the Hell-Lord's
beach sword fighting tag team tournament.
Copy !req
13. F-For two years in a row.
Copy !req
14. Sounds like the Hell-Lord
holds some fun events.
Copy !req
15. W-We're the strongest members
of the Hellhorde's forces.
Copy !req
16. There's no way you can defeat us!
Copy !req
17. You heard them.
Copy !req
18. Very well. In the event you win,
Copy !req
19. I shall grant you any request.
Copy !req
20. Anything?
Copy !req
21. Yes. I shall even set you free.
Copy !req
22. Well, well.
Copy !req
23. Let the battle begin!
Copy !req
24. Let's go, In-chan. We'll
start with Strategy B-shift.
Copy !req
25. Got it.
Copy !req
26. With Strategy B, I draw the enemy's
attention with my swift movements...
Copy !req
27. While I—
Copy !req
28. What?
Copy !req
29. No way.
Copy !req
30. What did you expect?
Copy !req
31. Her Highness is the Princess and
Commander of the Imperial Third Legion.
Copy !req
32. There's no way just the two
of you could defeat her.
Copy !req
33. S-So you really are a commander.
Copy !req
34. Rude!
Copy !req
35. Since I was a young girl,
Copy !req
36. I was trained in the art of the sword by
top-class swordsmen of the Imperial Army.
Copy !req
37. Spin ten times, and then start running.
Copy !req
38. Whoever touches the tree first wins.
Copy !req
39. Teach her to use a sword.
Copy !req
40. Whoever reaches the tree first gets all
of tonight's dessert to themselves.
Copy !req
41. Learn to use a sword!
Copy !req
42. There!
Copy !req
43. I win!
Copy !req
44. Jimochi taught me everything there is to know
Copy !req
45. about swordplay and the brutality of combat.
Copy !req
46. There's no way you could defeat me.
Copy !req
47. Based on that anecdote,
I think they could beat you.
Copy !req
48. It's just you now, You-chan.
Copy !req
49. Princess-chan, remember the rules.
Copy !req
50. Pop the balloons to win.
There are no other rules.
Copy !req
51. I summon thee, my final weapon!
Copy !req
52. In other words, all that matters
is that you pop the balloons!
Copy !req
53. This water gun can fire 45 shots per second.
Copy !req
54. I win! Victory is mine!
Copy !req
55. What?
Copy !req
56. Oh, no. After all we've been
through, I'd forgotten.
Copy !req
57. The Princess' swordsmanship is truly
top-level, even for the Imperial Army!
Copy !req
58. She's a proper warrior!
Copy !req
59. Crud. I'm out of ammo.
Copy !req
60. At this rate, I'll be forced
to release the Princess.
Copy !req
61. I must join the fight.
Copy !req
62. No, I can't.
Copy !req
63. When I first explained the rules, I said
her opponents would be Youki and Inki.
Copy !req
64. What should I do?
Copy !req
65. Ignore the rules.
Do whatever it takes to win.
Copy !req
66. The devil on my shoulder.
Copy !req
67. You must only make an effort
to keep your public promises.
Copy !req
68. You needn't actually keep them.
Copy !req
69. The politician on my shoulder.
Copy !req
70. Besides, it would be no fun
if she won too easily.
Copy !req
71. The writer.
Copy !req
72. With passion, we can change
the world, and even rules.
Copy !req
73. The revolutionary.
Copy !req
74. They're right.
Copy !req
75. Releasing the Princess
is out of the question.
Copy !req
76. It sure feels nice to move around.
Copy !req
77. This is fun!
Copy !req
78. It's time to end this, You-chan.
Copy !req
79. Hold up, Princess-chan!
Copy !req
80. Crab
Copy !req
81. Prepare yourself!
Copy !req
82. Guys!
Copy !req
83. We won't let you have your
way any longer, Princess.
Copy !req
84. All right. Bring it on, all of you.
Copy !req
85. Go, You-chan!
Copy !req
86. What?
Copy !req
87. You can do it, Your Highness!
Copy !req
88. Gotcha!
Copy !req
89. On your guard, Princess-chan!
Copy !req
90. Too easy, Krall-chan!
Copy !req
91. I knew you would slide!
Copy !req
92. Gotcha!
Copy !req
93. And I knew you would do that.
Copy !req
94. You-chan's in trouble.
Copy !req
95. If this is how it's gonna be…
Copy !req
96. It's a free-for-all!
Copy !req
97. Stop right there!
Copy !req
98. Princess!
Copy !req
99. This is so much fun!
Copy !req
100. I caught you!
Copy !req
101. You caught me!
Copy !req
102. That was so much fun.
Copy !req
103. Wait, what? What happened to being released?
Copy !req
104. Your Highness.
Copy !req
105. Previously and the time before that,
I failed because I was too focused on my spell.
Copy !req
106. But this time,
Copy !req
107. I, Louch Brittan, the White Knight,
will be sure to save you.
Copy !req
108. Who are you?
Copy !req
109. I couldn't sense him at all.
Copy !req
110. You're a human, aren't you?
Copy !req
111. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
112. A demon. His presence is overpowering.
Copy !req
113. He's no ordinary demon.
Copy !req
114. First strike.
Copy !req
115. Holy Moon!
Copy !req
116. Are you perhaps lost?
Copy !req
117. Settle down.
Copy !req
118. I understand why a human would feel
uneasy if they wandered into this place.
Copy !req
119. Brittan Clan Swordstyle,
Copy !req
120. Lightning Hurricane!
Copy !req
121. I just happened by here.
Copy !req
122. Lightning Hurricane! Lightning
Hurricane! Lightning Hurricane!
Copy !req
123. I did not come to harm you.
Copy !req
124. I was out attending a voice
actor's release event.
Copy !req
125. I simply came across you on my way back.
Copy !req
126. Release event?
Copy !req
127. Normally, I watch quietly from
the back with my arms folded,
Copy !req
128. but today, I moved up a
bit towards the front.
Copy !req
129. Because I did, I felt more
like a part of the concert.
Copy !req
130. Geh-heh-heh.
Copy !req
131. A demon would never attend a release event.
Copy !req
132. It must be some kind of
terrible code word.
Copy !req
133. In that case…
Copy !req
134. Focusing mana.
Copy !req
135. White Knight Magic,
Copy !req
136. Holy Shine!
Copy !req
137. That should do it.
Copy !req
138. Have you settled down some?
Copy !req
139. Impossible.
Copy !req
140. The recoil from my attack—
Copy !req
141. Why did you save me? I'm a human.
Copy !req
142. Geh-heh-heh. Your life has
value, just like mine.
Copy !req
143. Besides, that adornment on your neck…
Copy !req
144. It's the emblem of the protagonist's unit
Copy !req
145. from the Mobile Cavalry Soul
Cross anime, is it not?
Copy !req
146. How do you know that?
Copy !req
147. No one's ever noticed before because
it blends in with the rest of my outfit!
Copy !req
148. Geh-heh-heh.
Copy !req
149. I have one as well.
Copy !req
150. This emblem is truly well-made. It
looks just like it does in the anime.
Copy !req
151. You get it!
Copy !req
152. I have thoughts about items from
anime being turned into merch.
Copy !req
153. I wish they would stop including
pictures of characters.
Copy !req
154. The inclusion of such images
ruins the world building.
Copy !req
155. I wish to own the same
items as the characters.
Copy !req
156. Exactly!
Copy !req
157. I apologize for suddenly attacking you.
Copy !req
158. Geh-heh-heh. It's fine.
Copy !req
159. I see. Not all demons are bad,
nor are they my enemies.
Copy !req
160. Only the Hell-Lord and his
forces are my enemies.
Copy !req
161. I mustn't fail to recognize that.
Copy !req
162. Well, I suppose I should leave.
Copy !req
163. Didn't you have something to do here?
Copy !req
164. I've spent too long here already.
I'll return another day.
Copy !req
165. If we meet again…
Copy !req
166. Let's discuss anime once more.
Copy !req
167. Geh-heh-heh. Of course.
Copy !req
168. Geh-heh-heh, scrub-a-heh-heh.
Copy !req
169. Papa's in a good mood.
Copy !req
170. He said he made a new friend.
Copy !req
171. Yes! A match!
Copy !req
172. That's three in a row.
That just leaves six more.
Copy !req
173. I shall find the remaining matches
in one go, without any errors.
Copy !req
174. Another pair.
Copy !req
175. Nothing beats playing memory with cards.
Copy !req
176. Besides, I can play by myself.
Copy !req
177. I wonder if it would be
more fun with friends.
Copy !req
178. What am I thinking?
Copy !req
179. I am the daughter of the
noble House of Peschutz.
Copy !req
180. I need no friends.
Copy !req
181. Papa and Mama often tell me to enjoy
myself unfettered by the family name,
Copy !req
182. but my pride would never allow that.
Copy !req
183. But…
Copy !req
184. The amusement park sure was fun.
Copy !req
185. Princess…
Copy !req
186. I know. I'll use this to torture her.
Copy !req
187. That's right, it's torture.
Copy !req
188. It's not that I want to play with her.
Copy !req
189. Time for your torture, Princess!
Copy !req
190. Today's torture is playing cards.
Copy !req
191. If you tell me your secrets,
you can play cards with me.
Copy !req
192. What kind of torture is that?
Copy !req
193. Do you truly believe Her Highness
would divulge her secrets
Copy !req
194. just because she wants to play cards?
Copy !req
195. Cards are fun, aren't they?
Copy !req
196. Your Highness?
Copy !req
197. Speaking of cards…
Copy !req
198. I can't play any cards because
I'm stuck here and here.
Copy !req
199. My, my. Whatever could be stopping you?
Copy !req
200. It's you, Jimochi!
Copy !req
201. What will you do?
Copy !req
202. You can only pass one more
time, Your Highness.
Copy !req
203. Will you pass again?
Copy !req
204. Pass.
Copy !req
205. I win!
Copy !req
206. At this rate, tomorrow night's
dessert will be all mine as well.
Copy !req
207. I want dessert!
Copy !req
208. The frustration of defeat.
Copy !req
209. Every tear I shed made my mind stronger.
Copy !req
210. Your Highness, you must've really
regretted not eating that dessert.
Copy !req
211. That's just how fun playing cards is.
Copy !req
212. What?
Copy !req
213. Oh, but that doesn't mean
I'd reveal any secrets.
Copy !req
214. I can resist playing cards.
Copy !req
215. Are you sure about that?
Copy !req
216. Anyway, it's an attractive
invitation, but I must decline.
Copy !req
217. What? But…
Copy !req
218. Playing with cards is fun. Really fun.
Copy !req
219. It can be something basic, like what
you had for breakfast this morning.
Copy !req
220. I probably shouldn't be saying this,
Copy !req
221. but that's not a secret you
need to extract from me.
Copy !req
222. Wait a minute. Do you want
to play cards with me?
Copy !req
223. O-Obviously not!
Copy !req
224. It's not like I want to
play Old Maid together,
Copy !req
225. which can only be played
with at least two players.
Copy !req
226. I definitely don't want to
play President or Speed either.
Copy !req
227. Just laying it all out there, aren't you?
Copy !req
228. If you want to play, then
you should just say so.
Copy !req
229. I am the daughter of the
noble House of Peschutz.
Copy !req
230. I don't experience the
flippant desire to play cards.
Copy !req
231. A proud lady like myself needs no friends!
Copy !req
232. All right. I'll tell you a secret.
Copy !req
233. Your Highness?
Copy !req
234. I also believed that a proud
knight like myself needs no friends.
Copy !req
235. But…
Copy !req
236. The truth is…
Copy !req
237. I wanted friends.
Copy !req
238. Me, too.
Copy !req
239. Come on. I've told you my secret.
Copy !req
240. Let's play.
Copy !req
241. Okay.
Copy !req
242. Which card is the Joker?
Copy !req
243. Hey, that's not fair.
Copy !req
244. Come on, hurry up.
Copy !req
245. Let's see. This one.
Copy !req
246. Oh? You're sure you want that one?
Copy !req
247. Ah, I see.
Copy !req
248. Uh, um…
Copy !req
249. Actually, I want this one.
Copy !req
250. I see. So the Princess wanted friends.
Copy !req
251. Yes, Your Majesty.
Copy !req
252. Perhaps she'd been avoiding it until
now since she'd been betrayed before.
Copy !req
253. Geh-heh-heh.
Copy !req
254. I'm glad she made a friend.
Copy !req
255. Send off the report...
Copy !req
256. And work is done.
Copy !req
257. What should I have for dinner?
Copy !req
258. Tonight, I have business outside the
house, so perhaps I'll eat out.
Copy !req
259. Welcome.
Copy !req
260. A roast beef bowl. I didn't
know they offered that.
Copy !req
261. Curry. Come to think of it, I often
hear the curry is delicious as well.
Copy !req
262. Perhaps I'll order some next time.
Copy !req
263. But I end up ordering the same thing
despite thinking that every time.
Copy !req
264. Thanks for waiting.
Copy !req
265. A chicken and egg bowl.
Copy !req
266. I've tried all kinds
of chicken and egg bowls,
Copy !req
267. but nothing beats the chicken and egg
bowl served by this beef bowl chain.
Copy !req
268. This spoon that makes it so easy
to eat is a delight as well.
Copy !req
269. Yes, this. This was the right choice.
Copy !req
270. The strength of chains is their ability to
provide the exact same flavor you imagine every time.
Copy !req
271. After eating more than half, add a sprinkle
of soy sauce to modify the flavor.
Copy !req
272. Now it's time for round two.
Copy !req
273. Since it's a bit chilly tonight,
I can tell how warm my stomach feels.
Copy !req
274. Now then.
Copy !req
275. Time to buy tissues and head home.
Copy !req
