01x10 - Princess Yuri

[bunniefuu]

[unsettling foreboding music]

- It appears that village is

indeed amassing military might

and planning something

most dreadful.

- It may be that they're

convincing Flowrem

to stay there just so that

they can use her

as a hostage if they need to.

- We should begin gathering

our troops at once

Princess!

I understand.

We must defeat that village

and we have to save Flowrem.

["Flower Ring" by Shino Shimoji

and Aya Suzaki plays]

[waves lapping]

[minimal pensive music]

[magic humming]

- I'm sorry to bother you

while you're looking busy.

- I'm not just looking busy,

I am busy.

I have been put in charge of the

village's accounting practices.

Putting that aside, what brings

you here so late, Father?

- The thing is, our princess

is gathering troops

and preparing to go on

a military campaign.

[Flowrem gasping]

- [Flowrem] Our princess

is doing what?

Why would she do

something so absurd?

- While you have been away

from the kingdom,

some have taken the chance to

fill her head with half-truths.

- And by some, you mean.

- The second daughter

of the Gritch family,

the fourth daughter

of the Bugal family,

and the second daughter

of the Mamonrose family.

- Aren't those the trio of

politically powerful idiots?

So where exactly are they

planning to attack?

- This very village.

- Huh?

What in the world would

give them such a dumb idea?

I've given them

plenty of reports.

They should know how powerful

this village is.

- I think the reports

were so ridiculous

that they started

to seem unreal.

I tried to have the demon lord

put a stop to this rampage.

But he's far too soft

on his daughter.

- Then do you think it's best

if I convince them to stop?

- They would be

expecting you to do that.

It would cause them to

view you as an enemy

of the Demonic Kingdom.

- Then what should I do, Father?

- I just need you to stop their

invasion before it starts.

- [Flowrem] When are

they mobilizing?

- Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?

- Their forces number 300 men.

I was thinking that maybe if

someone from this village

routed their forces,

they'd give up and go home.

- Sure, but if we're careless

about which villagers

find out about this,

it will likely cause

a violent destruction

of the Demonic Kingdom.

- [Beezel] That would

be a problem.

- Hmm, so then, I just need to

show them the difference

in military might without

mobilizing the village's forces.

[people shouting indistinctly]

[expl*sive blasting]

[wood breaking]

[people yelling]

- We beg of you,

please, spare our lives!

- [Soldier] Have mercy!

- Hmm?

[people gasping]

Are we done already?

- [Soldiers] Yes.

- They're going to give us

ten boxes of apples

just for this?

Do you think maybe we should

punish them just a little more?

- Uh, so who are these girls

standing here frozen solid?

- They're from

the Demonic Kingdom,

and they'd like to

move here.

They've had a change of heart

and are ready to work

themselves to death.

- [Girls] Huh?

- I mean, they're ready to work

like their lives depend on it.

- Um, okay.

But even so.

They kind of seem like

they've given up.

Almost like they've accepted

that their lives are over,

or something.

- They'll be fine.

They're all

acquaintances of mine.

So for the time being,

I plan to have them

working for me.

In the event they harm

the village in any way,

please don't hesitate

to dispose of them.

I won't mind.

- That sounded scary.

Great, now that

that's out of the way,

who's that other girl

over there?

- She's here to observe.

I'd like to show her how things

work here in the village.

- My my name is Yuri.

- Apparently, she was

very worried

about my living conditions

here in our village and

wanted to see what it's like.

- You don't need to

give her special treatment.

Please put her to work

knowing she'll be gone soon.

- How does she expect me

to do that?

Great, why don't you

show them around.

- Thank you,

just leave it to me.

Listen up.

If you all put in some

honest work here,

your transgressions against

the village will be forgiven.

That said, in the interest

of keeping this incident

a secret from the rest

of the villagers,

it would be wise not to

divulge your identities.

In other words, Princess.

- Yes, Flowrem?

- You won't get

special treatment.

As long as you're here,

in this village,

you'll just be plain old Yuri.

- That won't be a problem.

[Yuri giggling]

It's been a long time since

I've been called by my name.

- Now then, let's get started

with our tour of the village.

[Flowrem sighing]

[mild carefree music]

- So these fruit are

turned into alcohol?

These plants grow

from inside the water?

[mechanisms warbling]

This contraption

moves not with magic,

but it's powered by

water moving over it?

- [Beastboys] Hello.

- Are you one of the new girls?

- So, Fluffy, look at you.

- Hey, that tickles.

- These are apples, right?

I had no idea they

grew on trees like this.

[girls ahhing]

- Oh hey, do we have

some visitors?

- I have never gotten

to eat apples

except for when attending

parties at the castle.

- I ate them every day at home,

never missed a day.

- At my house, we used to

have the merchants

search for them and buy them up

when in short supply.

- [Roaju] So that's

where they went.

- Are those girls that are

with you nobles or something?

- Yeah, yeah,

something like that.

- If we can take over

this village.

- It'll be the biggest

money-maker for our kingdom.

- [Flowrem] Dispose.

- Never mind, forget it,

it's nothing.

[girls giggling]

- Hello there,

I'm Lastismoon of the dragons.

Please call me Lasty.

- Nice to meet you, Lasty.

She's awfully adorable

for a fierce dragon.

- I know we were

forced to stay out here

but it's gross that

nobles are living

in the middle of

nowhere like this.

- We'll be the laughing stock of

the country when we're back.

- Let's wait for a chance

and escape.

[girls agreeing]

[girls gasping]

[wolves growling]

[girls screaming]

[rooster crowing]

[girls whimpering]

[air whooshing]

[girls screaming]

[girls whimpering]

- [Flowrem] Have you

learned your lesson?

- [Girls] We have.

- We promise you.

- [Klakkase] We'll work like

our lives depend on it.

- [Rosalind] Just please

don't dispose of us.

- Looks like they're

working really hard.

- They're actually a big help.

Now I can split up the mountain

of office work I had to do.

I'll be happy if I can

keep them working like this

as part of the town hall.

[wolf panting]

[wolf cooing]

[Flowrem giggling]

[warm carefree music]

- That's an inferno wolf

your playing with, isn't it?

Is it all right for you to

be petting it like that?

- Yeah.

Even though a single

inferno wolf

is said to be dangerous enough

to cause serious damage

and harm to any city it enters,

they're really cute

when they're like this.

- [Yuri] I'm supposed

to throw this?

- [Flowrem] Yeah, they love it.

- Let's see.

Go!

[wolf barking]

[wolves barking]

I could get use to this.

- Eventually.

- This village has been nothing

but wonderful surprises.

I can't believe a world

like this exists

outside of the Kingdom.

- I'm pretty sure this is

a very rare exception.

- No, I was just very ignorant

of the outside world.

I tried to bring

w*r and conflict

to such a wonderfully peaceful

and tranquil village.

- Anyone who intends to do harm

will find themselves on

the receiving end

of a dragon's fire breath.

- And indeed they should.

To be honest,

I thought the intel about

dragons living in this village

was a lie meant to deceive

the Demonic Kingdom.

- I warned everyone

on the council

not to get involved

with this village.

The demon lord should've

warned you against it as well.

So why did you do it?

- Honestly, it's your fault.

[Flowrem gasping]

Flowrem, you vanished from the

Demonic Kingdom without warning!

I heard that you had

become a hostage.

I was deeply worried

about you.

- I'm honored, Prin-

- My name is Yuri!

Stop acting subserviant,

we've been friends

since childhood!

You stopped asking me for help,

and then before I knew it,

everything was

princess this and

princess that.

Like I was a stranger.

- I'm sorry, Yuri.

I'll keep you in the loop

from now on.

- I know, Flowrem.

- Yeah.

Now, let's head back.

It's almost time

for us to eat.

- Okay.

[girls sighing]

- This office work

is really hard

but the food here is great.

- We don't have to worry about

any stressful politics.

We can just relax here.

- The baths really heal my soul.

[girls giggling]

- I was worried that they might

have trouble adjusting.

- Seems they've already

fully adapted.

- Are these three

the new girls?

- Yeah. Huh?

You've been at that height

all day, haven't you?

- Yeah, my transformation magic

hasn't really been

working lately.

Oh well, I'm sure

it'll get better.

- I see then.

- [Hiraku] Farming Life

- [Girls] In another

- [Hiraku] World.

[stream babbling]

- Right, I know.

[both gasping]

- Ah.

- Huh?

- [Beastboys] It's Big Sis!

- If you don't mind,

I would like to help out

with the farm work as well.

- She's going to do

manual labor?

- But that's work for commoners.

- Please stop this, Princess.

- [Beastboys] Princess?

- Pardon?

Wasn't that a secret?

- [Girls] Forget we said that.

- Disposal.

[girls whimpering]

- Now then, I want you all

to join me and help out.

- Huh? But we.

- Our specialty is office work

not hard manual labor.

- Don't worry,

we'll show you how.

- [Girls] Ugh.

[peaceful cheerful music]

- I learned a lot from you all

during my time

here in this village.

I'm grateful to you all.

- [Beastboy]

You're leaving already?

- I'm sorry. I promise to

come visit you often.

- Uh.

- Um, here.

- [Yuri] Oh my.

- [Sena] They're made

from the wheat

that we harvested together.

- Thank you all so very much.

Flowrem.

Don't forget to come visit.

- Of course.

- [Yuri] Thank you too

for your hospitality, mayor.

- Sure, travel safe.

- Oh, by the way,

are you all not

coming home with me?

[bell dinging]

- There are still

so many great things

left for us to learn

within this village.

- And there's still a ton

of work left to do.

- We haven't repayed

everyone's kindness.

- Therefore, we must stay.

- [Yuri] Could you please stop

eating while you're talking.

- We should leave now.

- Right.

Everyone, I'll see you again.

[magic warbling]

- Looks like she

enjoyed her time here.

- Indeed.

- [Galgardo] Hey, Beezel.

- [Beezel] Yes.

- It's about Yuri, ever since

she returned to the castle,

she's seems a bit

different somehow.

- Yes.

- It's like she's grown

dignified all of a sudden.

She looks so busy now.

Even if I try to have

a conversation,

she doesn't make the time.

- It seems that

the princess will begin

to take an interest in politics

and diplomacy pretty soon.

Daughters tend to

grow into adults

before their parents

realize it.

- An adult?

Don't tell me

she's met a man!

[menacing music]

Who is he?

I, the great

demon lord Galgardo

will tear him apart with

my bare hands myself.

- That possessive attitude

is going to make her

hate you one day.

- She'll hate me?

[Galgardo growling]

- More importantly,

it's time for a meeting.

Let's go and show her what

a cool father you can be.

- Okay, I get it.

Leave it to me.

- [Hiraku] A short while

after Yuri left,

we began our pre-winter

crop harvest

and this was the result.

When did all of this happen?

- [Tia] We harvested so much,

this is what we couldn't

fit into storage.

- I'm glad we had

a good harvest.

- But this is more

than we thought.

- In that case, would it

be all right with you

if I sent some of it

to my father?

- Yeah, let's do it.

- Oh then, can we send

some to mine?

- That's fine by me, but who

are your parents anyway?

- [Lastismoon]

From my perspective,

they're Granddad and Grandmom.

- My father lives in

the northern continent

while my mother

lives in the south,

so I'm afraid it's going to be

a bit out of the way.

- There are dragons

north and south?

If that's true then you

must be referring to

the Emperor Dragon Doze,

and the the Hurricane

Dragon Raimaylen

- You're exaggerating!

Is that really

what you call them?

- I never knew the dragons

were all connected like this.

- Those are some

pretty intense names.

First, Lasty

stopped by Dryme's

and dropped off the food

we were sharing.

Then she continued

to Shashato City

to drop off their

share of crops.

Apparently, Michael asked her

to exterminate a monster

that had been attacking

the trade vessels.

- Sure thing.

You're mine!

[expl*sive blasting]

Guess what? I got to

take some meat home

as thanks for

k*lling that thing.

This is definitely

that chanco stuff

you were talking about, mayor.

That means we're having

chanco hotpot tonight.

- Uh, yeah.

Meanwhile, Hakuren headed north.

On her way back,

she found some people

that wanted to

move to our village.

- I'm Ya, the leader of

this group.

- Are you dark elves?

- What?

No, that's not what we are,

we're known as mountain elves.

- Uh, sorry, my mistake.

Please forget about it.

- They can all use fire,

and they're also meat eaters,

like my elven clan.

- So I see.

- Normally, all of us

live up in the mountains,

but as of late, it's become

harder for us to find food.

- They seemed like they were

having some trouble

so I thought it might be

easier if they lived here.

- I see.

Hmm

What should we do?

- I do understand

that no one has the leeway

to help strangers.

If we're causing you trouble,

we'll leave right away.

- No, that's not what I meant.

- Huh?

- I was trying to

think of a plan.

We need to figure out

where you'll sleep

until we can

build you a house.

I was thinking on who

I'll need to talk to first.

- So then?

- Yeah.

If you're okay with

living here with us.

[Ya shrieking]

- Thank you so much!

And don't worry, we're fine

sleeping on the ground here.

- [Hiraku] No,

we can't have that.

And so, the group of

mountain elves

became residents

of our village.

- At the very least,

we'll go catch food on our own.

We're excellent hunters.

[lively cheerful music]

[Ya yelling]

[Ya screaming]

Uh, I'm terribly sorry

we couldn't be of more use.

- Are you okay?

- [Ya] Is there something

wrong with this forest?

- You think so, too?

Don't hurt yourselves

if its too much.

- That's very

thoughtful of you, mayor.

What's that you're working on?

- Uh.

I was hoping we could

make some pottery here.

- Interesting.

- And now, we bake it

after it's all dry.

- Oh.

[deflated warbling]

What happened to it?

- I guess the soil here

just won't work.

We'll have to go look around

for clay somewhere.

- Please, mayor, would you allow

me the honor of finding that?

We come from the mountains,

and as such,

we understand the earth and

what all lies within it.

- I see.

Isn't it dangerous to

search the area?

- As long as I don't have to

fight, I should be all right.

I'm confident in

my ability to flee.

- Just promise me

you'll be careful.

Wow!

This is great, it's perfect!

- [Ya] I did my best.

- [Hiraku] I wonder if

we can make cups,

and plates, and stuff.

- Of course!

Just leave it to me.

[air whipping]

- [Hiraku] They found

another dungeon?

- Yes, it's a different one

than where the lamia live.

Ya was able to find the entrance

to the dungeon up north

near the mountains.

I'd like your permission

to send a survey party.

- What if it's dangerous?

- That's one reason we need to

survey the area and learn more.

- I see then.

Well, just don't do

anything too drastic.

- All right, we're

gonna head out now.

- While the survey team was

off investigating the dungeon,

the men's bathhouse

was finally finished.

[Hiraku exhaling]

The dwarves and

the lizardmen can use it,

and so can Dryme

when he visits.

So I definitely didn't build

this just so I could have it.

Yep.

[Beastboys laughing]

[water splashing]

Well, I don't mind

how lively it is here.

Remember, you need to

make sure to wash yourselves

before getting in here.

- [Beastboys] Okay.

[startling music]

- Just what exactly do you three

think you're doing out here?

- We thought this was

the women's bathhouse.

- I won't get mad, so just

tell me the truth, okay?

- [Rosalind] You're about to get

really mad at us, aren't you?

- Well, um, we were

hoping that maybe

we could wash the

mayor's back for him?

- We thought it could be a good

chance to get closer to him.

- Listen up.

We're the absolute

lowest-ranking members

in this village.

- What did I say? Bad idea.

- I tried to stop this.

- Huh, what, seriously?

- You know what'll happen

if you try that again.

- [Roaju] Please, don't let

them dispose of us.

- [Flowrem] Last warning.

- Huh?

Before long, the dungeon

survey party had returned.

You're all here.

What is it then?

- We should send an

extermination party

to the dungeon up north.

- Something there a problem?

- We confirmed the presence

of a blood viper inside.

[unsettling music]

- Oh, that was the thing

fighting the bear.

- We absolutely

must have its meat.

The survival of our clan depends

on us getting ahold of it.

- Is it really that important?

- Yes, blood viper meat is said

to be extremely valuable.

Eating it fills you

with vitality,

improves one's

husband-wife relations,

and is said to even

bless you with children.

[infant crying]

[Ya gasping]

- [Hiraku] Well,

it's almost winter.

Let's talk it over

with the village

before we set out to hunt it.

[mellow music]

And so, autumn faded away

as winter began to approach.

Then one day

[door creaking]

- Huh?

I never thought I'd see

you of all people bedridden.

What a strange sight

for one to witness.

- Are you okay?

I heard you weren't

feeling well.

- Yeah, I'm fine.

I might have just caught a cold.

- [Tia] Isn't mixing up

different kinds

of medicines your specialty?

- [Lu] I've never tried making a

medicine for myself before this.

[Hiraku grunting]

Don't look at me like that.

It's just a bit of nausea

and a slight fever is all.

I'm sure I'll be fine if I rest

for a little while.

- I hope that's all it is.

- This might be a long shot,

but have you found yourself

craving sour foods?

- Uh, now that you mention it,

I don't really have an appetite

but I'm still able to eat

tomatoes and fruits.

- [Tia and Sena] Mm

- Um, there was someone

in Howling Village

who said the same thing.

- Huh?

- Lulucy, have you

really not figured out

what's happening to you?

- No, what is it?

- That person?

What happened to them?

- Well, um

We congratulated them

on the baby.

- Hmm

- [Hiraku and Lu] What?!
