01x02 - My Guardian Spirit is the Strongest, Another World Doesn't Stand a Chance!

[bunniefuu]

[opening theme]

[upbeat percussive music]

[Tomochika] We finally made it.

There's the town, Takatou!

[Yogiri yawns]

[gate creaking]

Hey, is it just me

or are they closing up the gate?

I mean, yeah,

usually gates like that

get shut down at night.

- Then we better hurry!

- Hold on!

Um, excuse me.

[speaking in foreign language]

Huh?

[bird cries in the distance]

Are you guys different

from the group

that was here earlier today?

Talk about a pain in the neck.

What is it that you want?

Thank heavens! Someone

who speaks our language!

We got separated from that

other group you mentioned

and came here to meet up.

Crap, I'll have you know

there's usually an

entrance fee for this,

but we got orders from above

not to mess with

Sage candidates.

We heard the others left

for the royal capital already.

What's the best means

of getting there?

Although I was ordered

not to interfere.

I was never told to help either.

Whatever, man.

Oh, right,

the young lady here,

and only her, is more than

welcome to stay at my place.

[Tomochika gasps]

Um, no, thank you.

[Tomochika panting]

Huh?

What's with you all of a sudden?

I was afraid you were

gonna get all spooky eyed

and k*ll that guy.

Oh geez, don't act like

I'm a homicidal maniac.

Yikes, I'm shocked that you

don't even realize

that's what you are.

Hey, look at that!

This place looks straight

out of a fantasy!

Oh wow! There are even people

who look like beastkin!

[catgirl] Hey, there!

Are you two

Sage candidates, meow?

Huh?

I'm guessing you're new

to these parts around here.

Are you two having any

problems, meow?

Whoa. She's got cat ears.

What do you want?

If there's anything you

need help with,

I'll do it free of charge, meow!

You would really do that?

And how would

that benefit you?

My goal is to get cozy with

male Sage candidates, meow.

I hear they fall

for girls easily

despite all their prospects.

Jeez. She's

blunter than a club.

Of course, I wouldn't

dare lay my paws on a guy

who already has a cute

little girlfriend, meow!

The secret to success lies

in expanding my network

of friends little by little,

just like this, meow.

It's fine.

I'm not his girlfriend.

What should we do?

To be honest, I would really

like to take in the sights

before it gets too dark.

Would you mind

guiding us around?

I'm Mireiyu.

Nice to meet you, meow.

[gifts shimmering]

Shucks, I couldn't help myself

from buying some clothes

since I normally

can't wear this stuff.

[tense music]

[bandits chuckling]

Yeah, so this ended about

as well as I expected it to.

Well, excuse me!

Sorry for thinking that

she was a nice girl

who wanted to help!

Think you're sitting

pretty there, little cutie?

- So you're after our money?

- Well, yeah.

We're obviously gonna

take everything you have,

but what we really want

are Sage candidates

who lack any abilities.

Those blessed with

the Gift are hated

for always running amuck

in this town,

but we can't lay

a finger on them.

Which is why powerless

nobodies like you

sell for a lot of cash

to relieve stress.

Oh, all right.

I see what your deal is.

So I'm thinking I'm just

gonna k*ll you right now.

That cool?

Huh?

You can relax a bit.

We ain't going to k*ll you or

anything too gruesome like that.

But no guarantees it won't

be a fate worse than death.

[Yogiri sighs]

Mireiyu, I know how he looks,

but he's stupidly overpowered!

You guys will never beat him!

Are you for real?

Nobody's gonna fall for

your silly bluffs, meow.

Because weak-a*s losers like

you who don't have the Gift

of the Sages are totally

helpless, meow.

For starters, the

guys behind me can die.

[air whooshing]

[Tomochika whimpers]

Holy crap!

What the hell

did you do to them?

[power shimmering]

[upbeat music]

You can half die.

[goon grunting]

[clattering]

I guess half

is still a bit much.

Right ankle.

[air whooshing]

[sword clattering]

Crud, I messed up.

Left arm.

[air whooshing]

[goon grunting]

Takatou, what are you doing?

I'm trying to see

if I can hold back

from fully k*lling them.

Eyeballs.

[air whooshing]

[goon screaming]

My eyes, my eyes,

my eyes, my eyes!

You b*stard.

[power shimmering]

Just what the

psychotic hell are you?

That's a good question.

k*lling off single parts

of their bodies isn't very

efficient.

I also don't like that it

comes off like t*rture.

Sir, please spare me!

I actually have a bunch of

starving younger brothers

who are waiting for me to take

care of them back at home!

I don't care.

That doesn't make robbing

and human trafficking okay.

What the hell?

This was supposed to be easy!

Die.

[Mireiyu squealing]

Huh?

[chuckles shakily]

Looks like you screwed up there.

Let's get out of here!

What? Wait a sec!

You just let them go?

Actually, I didn't.

Hey, wait up for me!

What was that?

He's some kind of mon-

[air whooshing]

That was stupid.

I shouldn't have

messed with him.

[water splashing]

We should get out

of here while we can.

Don't move!

I'm captain of the guard.

I have some questions

about what happened here.

Well, we don't know much.

We just got lost and then

ended up in the middle of this.

Don't you lie to me!

I saw that group of criminals

who were attacking you suddenly

collapse on the ground.

Figures you'd blame it on us!

If you were watching,

why didn't you come help?

Because we were trying to hunt

down the leaders of these g*ons.

So you're saying you were

banking on tailing them

so you could find out where

we would get sold off to?

Yes, that's exactly right.

But don't get any funny ideas.

We guards have been

thoroughly blessed

with the protection

of the Sages,

so your deadly Gift

abilities won't work on us.

I'm afraid, Captain Edelgart,

my appraisal skill

indicates that neither

of these individuals here

has the Gift.

Come again?

It's hard to imagine

they were the ones responsible

for this.

Ugh, fine then, let's go!

My apologies to you.

Please, will you

forgive our captain?

Sure thing.

But in exchange,

could you show us a place

where we can stay for the night?

Hey, Jorge, one's still alive.

[Tomochika] Whoa!

Check it out!

It's incredible!

Just like a castle!

Though I've never seen the

inside of a real castle before.

Hey, what's the plan?

We sharing a room?

Huh? No, I prefer

that we didn't.

'Kay, then let's get two

rooms next to each other.

It's so huge!

Is this really for one person?

I can't believe

that he suggested

sharing a room together.

Wait a sec,

is this the first time

that we've actually been

separated since coming here?

I wonder if that means he's

interested in me romantically.

Oh wait, all he cares about is-

[boobs squishing sonorously]

Your boobs were

really nice and soft.

[Tomochika growling]

[air shimmering]

Who's there?

[screaming]

[Tomochika yelling]

[spirit giggling]

My big sister?

What on Earth are

you doing in this world?

Don't you dare lump me in

with her, please!

My name is Mokomoko Dannoura,

Wife of the Dannoura

School's founder's son.

I'm patron saint

of the Dannoura School

who is responsible

for its dynasty.

I'm also your guardian angel.

So there.

Quit dumping so much info.

I don't even know

where to start.

What's a guardian angel?

I'm a spirit that comes

to provide aid

when you're in danger.

You're a little late!

Why didn't you show up

earlier when the dragon came?

Ugh, because of that kid.

He's real bad news.

I might have been obliterated

if I revealed myself carelessly.

So you're telling me

Takatou's k*lling power

even works on spirits like you?

That's right.

So it would be

a great help to me

if you could explain

my existence to him

so he doesn't get

suddenly surprised!

All right, then.

So how exactly are

you gonna help me?

Well, as you can see,

I'm a spirit of the dead.

I protect you from

the supernatural.

In fact, I am the one who

prevented the "Gift" thingy

from being installed in you.

[giggling]

So it's your fault!

Why on Earth would you do that?

Did you really want something

you don't understand inside you?

Huh?

On one hand,

it does come with benefits.

However, the instant that

you accept its power,

you become no more than

a puppet to the Sages.

Hold on, does that mean people

who don't get it

installed are all protected

by a spirit like you?

I don't know

about anyone else,

but you are successor of the

Dannoura School of Archery

and our mixed martial

arts that have existed

since the Heian period.

All I want is for you

to return to the world

that you originally came from.

I would love to go back

home to my real world,

but I've been totally

reliant on Takatou

since arriving in this place.

That's where I come in.

I shall now pass onto you

the true arts of

the Dannoura School.

Get ready for

Operation Most Cool

and Awesome:

"My Guardian Angel

is So Overpowered,

This Other World

is a Piece of Cake"!

Are you sure you're

from the Heian Period?!

[Tomochika groaning]

Good morning.

Didn't sleep well?

Kind of sorta.

It's complicated.

So are we leaving to chase

after everyone else right away?

Yeah. Well about that.

Greetings. I am a

concierge here at the hotel.

My name is Celestina.

Oh hi. Nice to meet you.

Yesterday I asked her

for some help,

so she's been figuring out

roughly where our classmates are

and what route

they've been taking.

She also prepared

some items to help us

with translating

and hiding our stats.

Plus she even made a charger

for my gaming device.

Huh?

Here are your tickets.

The train will depart

for the royal capital

later this afternoon.

Thank you very much.

Oh, would you mind

holding onto this for me?

Actually, I would rather

you invest it instead.

Wait, Takatou, that's a

little outside the scope

of what a concierge can do.

As you wish, sir.

The concierges here

are so competent!

There's literally nothing

for us to do!

[light playful music]

[upbeat rock music]

[water trickling]

[train whistle blowing]

[train chugging]

[gentle music]

Why is it that I'm stuck here

cranking the battery charger

while half-buried

in the plump stomach

of a ghost while

you play your game?

I don't take up

any physical space,

so what's there really

to worry about?

It doesn't bother me

one single bit.

Then why don't you float

over by Takatou instead?

Oh, I mean, he's just

too scary. [squealing]

Then why not vanish?

I haven't done anything

to intentionally

reveal myself to him.

It's just that

you've become able

to easily see me

when I'm around now.

You can see my guardian

ghost as well, can't you?

Ever since you told me

about her, I can, yeah.

But I mean, why don't you

just come sit over here.

Oh, good point.

Everyone else is fairly

near here, aren't they?

As far as

Miss Celestina reckons,

the kids from our class

are traveling

while also doing some

training inside of the forest.

It's crazy how she can know

so much about everything.

[Yogiri grunts]

[Tomochika yelps]

[power blasting]

What the heck?

[drone puttering]

[tense music]

Hey! Somebody tell me,

where am I?

As you can see,

we haven't been able

- to question him yet.

- Hey, come on! Boss!

Mireiyu!

Are you there? Help me, guys.

I feel so scared.

We tried healing magic,

but no luck.

- Please. Anybody?

- He doesn't appear

to have any physical wounds.

How interesting.

[Jorge] Milady?

[eyeball squishing]

[goon yelling]

[Lain] Heal!

- What the

- What in the world?

Damn it, I can't see.

So his sight won't come back

even after spawning a new eye.

In that case

[fangs squishing]

What are you doing?

Miss Sage Lain is a vampire.

Her class is Origin Blood.

The highest rank of undead.

Those who are turned vampire

by a direct bite from Ms. Lain

are granted a huge boost

in physical strength

and prowess.

[group gasps]

So even turning him

into my kin

doesn't work.

Fascinating.

[masonry rumbling]

What the heck

is going on here?

Oh no, it's him!

Appraisal complete!

Definitely Hero class.

What now?

[exciting music]

Attention all passengers,

a Sage is engaged in battle

with an Aggressor nearby.

Well then I assume

they weren't aiming

at us intentionally.

What in the world

just happened here?

[rumbling]

[Tomochika gasps]

Look, it's a robot!

That must be an "Aggressor."

An invader. I guess.

So then where's the Sage?

Maybe that speck over there?

You've got good eyes.

[power blasting]

[g*nshots rattling]

Well, this won't help.

Hey, why don't you just

take them both down, huh?

But why would I?

Huh? Well, they

got in our way

So in other words,

that would mean it's okay

for me to k*ll anybody

walking in front of us

just for blocking the way.

Yeah, but we almost got k*lled

by that stray attack.

Except they weren't

actually aiming at us.

Look, let's establish

a clear-cut standard,

otherwise, I'll end up

k*lling people

for no reason other than

them being annoying.

Oh, sorry, I guess

it was a trickier problem

than I thought.

Don't apologize. I wasn't

being critical of you.

[power blasting]

[both grunting]

[both gasp]

[bystander] It's an Aggressor!

Run for it!

[bystanders shouting]

Hunk of junk!

Don't you run away from me!

[power blasting]

[hero grunting]

[attacks whooshing]

That was uncalled for.

I quite like this dress.

She took the brunt

of that attack

and didn't even get hurt!

No, in reality,

she's just healed

instantly from the damage.

You damn monster!

You know I'm a Sage, so why

would you want to attack me?

Heroes should be out there

defeating demon lords

and whatnot.

Shut up. Someone has

to stop your tyranny!

All sages deserve

to be wiped out!

[power shimmering]

Holy Sword Cartena!

[expl*si*n booming]

Ariel

Well that's at least

one sage down.

How awful.

What?

Why would you attack us?

We're not part of your fight.

Huh?

You lowly fools should bow down

and express gratitude

whenever you see a great Sage!

It's irritating when

you run in panic!

You're the only irritating

one I find around here.

[power shimmering]

[somber music]

- Whoa. Did you k*ll him?

- I did.

I think it was

totally warranted, no?

[footsteps pounding]

[Aggressor] Wait. I bear

no hostility against you.

So, hey, is this

Ariel thing a lover

of yours or something?

How did you avoid my attack?

I didn't avoid it at all.

I'm immortal,

and moving out of the way

is a pain.

[Ein] Impossible!

There shouldn't be a

single thing left of you!

Life would be a lot simpler

if that was enough

to k*ll me, hero.

Ugh. Finish me off.

I don't feel like it.

[Ein screaming]

Drop down and

follow Yogiri Takatou.

Right!

[Aggressor] I wish to bargain.

I shall grant you anything

that's within my power.

Crazy, this robot seems like

it's afraid of

your ability, huh?

Sure, please tell us

how we can return

to our original world.

[Aggressor] The only

world I can return to

is the one I came from.

[Yogiri] In that case, can

you take us to your world?

[Aggressor] That is not possible

because I have not

brought my full existence

with me into this world.

Furthermore, I cannot

bring someone as dangerous

as you into my home.

I suggest you think

of this world

as being on the lowest level.

The coordinates of

your original world

and a vast amount of energy

are necessary to

climb out of it.

All right,

just give us some advice

after we find both of

those, then we'll be even.

[Aggressor] Understood.

Ms. Dannoura, is there

anything that you want from it?

My gosh, I'm not real sure.

[Mokomoko shouting]

I have a suggestion,

if I may be so bold.

[mysterious music]

What?

That's Sage Santarou

there, isn't it?

[Sion] Yogiri Takatou and

Tomochika Dannoura, you say?

I find it very hard to believe

the two of them

could defeat a Sage.

[Lain] They apparently

possess a strange magic.

Instant Death magic, was it?

But I'm positive Mr. Santarou

would already have resistance

to such a spell.

Oh? Instant Death.

[Sion] Since you wanted to talk,

I honestly figured this

would be about the darkness.

[Lain] Dealing with Aggressors

is obviously important,

but we can't overlook someone

with the power to k*ll Sages.

I would honestly prefer

that you didn't interfere

with any of the Sage candidates,

but perhaps if you also agreed

to deal with the Darkness

in return.

- Fine.

- Thanks so much.

[power shimmering]

[ominous music]

Masayuki.

You called?

Head for Hanabusa and

take the Immortal Corps.

Seriously?

There's a good chance

that a normal squadron

would be totally ineffective.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

So you're telling me it's okay

if Hanabusa gets

destroyed, then?

[Yogiri sighing]

- I need a little break.

This is why I told you

to let the robot carry it.

If the people here

saw us being friendly

with an Aggressor,

I think it would be bad news.

Oh, true.

They are invaders, huh?

We should've asked

for some kind of vehicle

to get around here.

Sorry to keep you!

In any case,

we got our hands

on something very useful.

[power whirring]

[Tomochika] What is this?

It's a powerful item

we got from the robot

that can freely change

its form at will.

Where did it even come from?

I had a camouflaged

as your underwear.

Isn't that ingenious?

[Tomochika squealing]

Hold up! Why are you using

a futuristic sci-fi weapon

like it's the norm

around these parts?

[ending theme]

[Tomochika]

"The World Isn't So Kind

as to Allow One-Sided Attacks."
