01x05 - Peter Grill and a Blind Date with an Orc

[bunniefuu]

My darling Luvellia is drifting away from my side...

Unacceptable!

Guildmaster, a missive has arrived...

With this, you shall meet your demise... Peter Grill!

The chance to be a hero is long gone...

Dug myself into a hole with no way out

Back against the wall...

I mean, how could I resist?

"This wasn't supposed to happen,"

I keep denying

I wish I could just disappear...

I wish I could just disappear...

I wish I could just disappear...

I can't stand myself

Moping around, spouting lies, grieving a broken heart

I hold on desperately to these feelings and shut my eyes

So why does this stupid guilt refuse to go away!?

So why does this stupid guilt refuse to go away!?

I suffocate under its weight

The chance to be a hero is long gone...

Always discouraged by my weaknesses,

I drop to my knees and grovel at your feet,

clinging selfishly to the hope for forgiveness

Dug myself into a hole with no way out...

Full of regret and powerless to change,

I feel my heart being torn apart

on this night of endless shame and despair

Why can't I get my act together?

Got nothing but this pathetic self of mine...

Marriage... proposal?

Precisely.

We have received a missive from Orcland
requesting access to your future offspring.

Having witnessed your performance in
the Grand Fighting Tournament,

a member of the Orc aristocracy named
Mr. Babe has come forth with a direct offer.

But Luvellia-senpai and I already pledged ourselves–!

Father!

What in the world is the meaning of this!?

The Guild recognized my engagement to Peter-kun.

A marriage proposal!? Now, of all times!?

Calm yourself, Luvellia.

Consider this nothing more than a formality.

If I may be so bold,

the nobility hailing from Great Orcland and
the southern United Pork Pie Kingdom

are some of our Guild's most influential patrons.

Due to the substantial monetary
contributions they provide,

it would be unwise to decline their request outright.

So as not to disgrace our esteemed allies,
we must adhere to the standard protocol.

After that, etiquette dictates a polite refusal.

Please, Guildmaster...!

Is there some sort of problem?

As Luvellia's loyal fiancé,
you don't intend to become emotionally

attached to this potential marriage partner, do you?

No, I would never dream of such a thing...

I'm well aware of what you're trying to pull, Father.

However, you're wasting your time.

The idea of Peter-kun betraying
my trust is simply preposterous!

Layonnaise!

The pain...

My heart can't take this...!

Senpai!

One little swimmer...

What about me!?

It was exceedingly generous of you
to entertain our unusual request.

We are most appreciative!

This marriage proposal is of great significance to us.

It presents an opportunity to reinforce the relationship
between Orcland and the Yakeppachi Warriors Guild.

Great minds think alike!

This whole blind date thing is clearly a trap...

However, the Guildmaster has failed
to consider one crucial detail.

It's true...

Looks aren't everything, but...

That ain't gonna happen!

You! Go and fetch Piglette.

Did he say "Piglette"!?

Humans and Orcs are two distinct cultures.

Each has a vastly different concept of ideal beauty.

If I had to guess, the Guildmaster's goal is to
trick me into causing some sort of scandal.

But this time, I have total confidence!

Oink...!

Me, fall for an Orc? No way in...

...hell!?

P-Piglette Pancetta, at your service.

Sh-She's cute!?

Now then, get to know one another.
Let your friendship blossom.

The old b*stard set me up...!

I already know where this is going...

Man milk!

Oink!

I-Is she about to give birth!?

Uh... Are you okay?

F-Forgive me...

I-It's just...

I've never spoken to a man this much in my life...

But we've barely said two words to each other!

S-Sorry...

Guildmaster, a young lady such as she...

Fret not, Goodman...

Guildmaster!

My apologies for the delay.

I've brought the Goon Squad Trio, as you requested.

Goon Squad Trio!?

I was employed as a servant by Master Babe.

One day, I suddenly found myself
swept up in talks of marriage...

Does that mean...

You're not on board with this whole thing?

Y-You see, I'm merely doing as Master Babe instructed...

However...

Your breathtaking performance at the tournament
is burned into my memories even now, Sir Peter.

Offering a repulsive woman like
me to a noble man like you...

It's...!

Repulsive!? You!?

I'm an outcast in Orc society.

My entire life, I've been treated like garbage
for having the appearance of a Human...

I'm sorry!

Only a fool would be seen with a hideous Orc like me...!

Wait!

P-Pardon me...

Hey there, sweet cheeks!

If you ain't got nowhere to be,
how's about joinin' us for a bite to eat?

Let us show you a good time...

U-Um...

No, thank you.

I...

Hey, back off!

S-Sir Peter...?

Piglette-san, stay behind me.

The hell's your problem!?

Dammit! Yer pissin' me off!

It's slaughter time, boys!

Now's our chance!

Th-Thank you, Sir Peter...
for rescuing such an ugly woman...

You aren't ugly at all.

That might be the case in the Orc world,
but let's get one thing straight:

By Human standards, you're really cute.

C-C-C-Cu...!?

So have a little more confidence in yourself, okay?

Oh, my bad.

W-Well then, could we take a tour of the town together...?

Of course!

How beautiful...!

I've always wanted to visit a Human city.

I figured that it might be easier for
a hideous woman like myself...

To blend in, you know?

That was a blast!

Out with it, you two.

Were you able to connect with
each other on a deeper level?

With all due respect, I must speak my mind.

This marriage proposal is nothing more
than a ploy to score political points.

The intentions of those involved
are not being taken into account.

I believe Miss Piglette feels likewise and
would prefer not to proceed any further.

Does he speak the truth, Piglette?

W-Well, I...

Now then, if you'll excuse me...

How rude!

Leaving your seat before our esteemed
guest has a chance to respond?

Where are your manners!?

Perhaps the two of you have not had enough time
to gain an intimate understanding of one another...

Don't you agree, Piglette?

What the hell...?

Guildmaster!

If you spend one night in this room,
at least we can say that we tried.

Though a mere formality,
we must be sure to cover all our bases.

I sincerely hope that you refrain
from making an error in judgement...

I sincerely hope that you refrain
from making an error in judgement...

I sincerely hope that you refrain
from making an error in judgement...

I sincerely hope that you refrain
from making an error in judgement...

I sincerely hope that you refrain
from making an error in judgement...

Oh crap...

This is bad...!

Sir Peter...

It started out as a simple crush

Suddenly, you were my biggest source of strength

Till death do us part, let's grow old together

This is my sincerest wish:

Stay with me, stay with me

So long time, by my side for all eternity

Beaten down by our daily struggles

Or soaked by a storm of rage;

If you get drenched, I won't hesitate

To be the umbrella that shields you

It's not so cold... I'm by your side

That's good enough for me

You're my rock, my strength

That smile of yours puts my soul at ease

I could search the whole world over

And find no one like you

You're my rock, my strength

Just the sight of you fills my heart with joy

No matter how much it may hurt,

I pledge my life to protecting you

Dear Sir Peter Grill,

Between your fortitude and ingenuity,
nobody can catch you off guard.

That's the beauty of being the strongest man alive, eh?
