01x02 - Elf no Kuni kara Gokigenyou

[bunniefuu]

In the original game,

Ludie was a heroine with a phobia of men.

Actually, it was more
like a phobia of humans.

- Ludie

- Fundamentally, her personality is cool,

- and she often speaks
sharply with others.

I told you, I don't trust anyone!

Stop trying to talk to me!

Dummy!

The gentlemen who derived pleasure
from being verbally abused by her

came to be known as "Ludie
Syndrome patients."

That said, after a certain event,
she will start dating you.

She'll completely fawn over you
and become utterly devoted to you.

She treats anyone other than the
player with utter contempt,

and treats Takioto Kousuke
worse than a winged insect.

Perhaps that spurred
everyone's possessiveness,

as she enjoyed unrivaled popularity.

But why does Ludie hate humans,
particularly men, so much?

Maybe I'm present at
the very occasion that caused it.

Which reminds me...

There was a reason Ludie
hated men so much.

But that would have meant she'd no
longer be a virgin, so we scrapped it.

They'd considered a story that would
totally rage bait eroge players.

If only I was better at magic...

Claris!

What do I do now?

If only I had the Mind's Eye skill.

Can you help me?

You can't use defensive magic yet, right?

On my signal, pretend
to use it and jump out.

Pretend?

What you'll actually do is blind them.

That you can do, right?

Yes.

Can I ask you to cast a shield spell?

I feel bad using them as bait.

I'll handle the rest!

That cloth is annoying.

Burn it up!

Crap! There's no time!

Let's go!

In ten seconds!

Ten. Nine. Eight.

Seven. Six. Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Ludie!

Now!

The shield spell!

Aegis!

A child's shield.

Aim for Tréfle.

Light!

This should do.

All done.

Can you get up?

Y-Yes.

Wow.

It looks like you're okay.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for your help.

She's so cute.

Oh crap, they did tear her skirt up.

Um...

Your skirt...

Huh?

Don't look!

I know, but... something to cover you...

Oh, right. Use this!

My hands both seem to be undulating.

What is this?

I am so sorry!

It's not like you were
touching them on purpose.

Of course not!

That wasn't your true intention, right?

No!

That's good!

I'll make sure your next
smart phone is sturdier.

I'm very sorry.

Let me formally introduce myself.

I am Ludivine Marie-Ange de la Tréfle.

And this is my maid.

My name is Claris.

I'm Takioto Kousuke.

Should I be groveling right now?

Takioto-sama, you have my
utmost gratitude for earlier.

No, no, if anything, I
should be apologizing.

But you saved our lives.

And you have nothing to apologize for.

That was an accident, right?

I am so incredibly sorry for that!

I see.

I accept your apology.

But what's more important...

...is what happens now.

Yes.

First, there is the report from
our country's intelligence.

This time, I was targeted
by a group in our

country that had aligned with the
Church of the Malevolent Lord.

I think the attacks will cease
once I enroll in the academy.

However...

Not completely.

One of them got away.

How did someone get out of all that?

I really apologize for this,
Takioto-sama.

The Hanamura clan has always been

a target for the Church
of the Malevolent Lord.

This last attack at the
hotel was a part of that.

True.

There's been a strong connection
since my grandfather's time...

It's a complicated situation.

It's possible that Takioto-sama

has now also been determined
a target worth eliminating.

Huh?

Because you saved me.

I'm so sorry.

Well, they've already had their
sights set on the Hanamuras anyway,

so please don't worry about it.

I can't really not worry about it.

I have to worry about it from now on.

R-Right.

This didn't happen in the game.

Claris, the message
from my father, please.

Yes.

Takioto Kousuke-dono.

Please accept Our deepest gratitude for
saving Our precious daughter, Ludie.

Our country intends to spare
no expense so that you

may enjoy a peaceful student
life at the academy.

And there is one more thing We
must tell you, in all earnestness.

Do not lay a hand on Our daughter.

Otherwise, We will have to personally
lead Our troops into the academy.

Is that clear?

Do not touch Our daughter,
under any circumstances.

Do not touch—

Is the country all right,
with an emperor like this?

As a politician, he's quite competent.

We'll continue the investigation
on our side as well.

I will not forgive them for committing
acts of terror in our hotel.

There's a proposal from my father.

The Tréfle empire predicts that

Ludie-sama and Takioto-sama will be
the prime targets at the academy.

They're right.

The Church of the Malevolent Lord is
definitely going to go after Ludie.

That should be the reason she will
rapidly get closer to the protagonist.

This brings back memories.

It starts out with them taking hostages
and using forbidden summoning spells.

Then a dungeon suddenly
appeared in town, too.

We don't want to only protect Ludie-sama.

We would also like to protect you.

Which is why...

Right.

It would be best if Ludie-chan
and Claris-chan moved in with us.

What?

Great, Marino-sama.

Your quick understanding is so helpful.

Our belongings will arrive later.

We look forward to living with
you starting tomorrow morning.

What?!

Wonderful!

No way!

The bath is ready.

Why don't you go first?

Thank you.

See you later.

Who knows how much the
storyline will change?

I need to prepare as much as I can.

Need to start by upping
my stamina and mana.

I also need to learn more skills...

I'm so sorry!

What's wrong?

My, oh my!

You're so bad.

Hatsumi isn't enough. You've
got to go after me too?

You sure move fast!

Th-That's not it.

Oh, am I dead?

My deepest apologies for last night!

Despite her youth, Hanamura Hatsumi
is a professor at the academy.

She is someone who teaches the
main character important techniques.

In the original story, she is continuing
the research of her deceased father.

Raise your head, Kousuke.

Yes.

I want to ask you something.

What is it?

Do you like older people?

I'm sorry?

Do you like mature women?

My mother is an old woman.

Can you please enlighten me as to
how you reached this conclusion?

Well, you seem to get on
very well with my mother.

I was wondering if you're maybe
trying to become my new father.

What?!

What kind of eroge would that be?!

If it's out there, please let me know!

Of course, Marino-san
is the ultimate dream,

so if going for her is possible...

What am I even thinking?!

At any rate, that is out of the question.

Then I would like you to speak
to me with more familiarity.

Call me Onee-chan.

Um...

Onee-chan.

I-I'll call you Hatsumi-neesan, then.

Did she want me to call
her Onee-chan that badly?

So, Nee-san,

you're a professor at Tsukuyomi Magic
Academy and also a graduate, right?

How was your life there as a student?

There were many amazing people there,

but I had almost no friends.

Still, there's no better place to expand
your knowledge and strength.

Shall I teach you magic?

Actually, I'm not able to use
most magic due to my disposition.

I see...

Actually, there was something
I wanted to discuss with you,

regarding my disposition.

I was hoping that you could
maybe help me out on that front.

Of course.

I'll get prepared.

Thank you so much.

I'll go on a little
run and come back, then.

So this is what a Tréfle
princess moving in looks like.

These are Claris-san's clothes?!

I wonder what kind of clothes she wears
when she's not wearing her maid uniform.

Is something wrong?

I-I was just thinking things over!

Is that so?

I wasn't trying to...

Are you telling on yourself?

I'm not!

Right. Should I help
you carry something?

Oh no, there are some very heavy things.

Exactly why I should do it!

I wanted to ask you some questions
about skills and stuff,

so please let me earn a favor here.

Can I ask you to carry
these to the second floor, then?

Leave it to me.

Huh?

That is so light.

No, please take this one!

I will take this.

Please watch your step.

Yes.

Takioto-sama!

I'm so sorry!

Don't worry about it.

Huh?

A string?

Really?

Really.

Really?

R-Really.

So that's how Claris-san's things...

Her underwear.

Ended up on my head.

Good for you.

That's what I thought...

Mana is emanating from
your hands, Ludie-san!

It was just a joke, so please stop!

What did you call me?

Please accept my apologies,
Princess Ludivine!

Just call me Ludie.

I'll be familiar, too.

But more importantly,

you didn't make Claris fall
on purpose because you wanted

to get at her underwear, right?

Of course I didn't!

I guess not.

But don't forget.

If you ever try to get close to
us with any ulterior motives...

I have no ulterior motives at all!

Speaking of, what have
you been up to, Nee-san?

If it's an experiment, I can help.

Cooking.

I was making dinner.

I see.

Cooking, huh?

Cooking...?

You know, maybe this world's food
tastes nothing like how it looks.

Right!

It might look like that, but
it must be just fine to eat!

Of course it's just fine.

Tonight is a welcoming party.

This is bad.

Oh my.

That sure is... colorful and pretty.

I have confidence in it.

Go ahead, eat.

Thank you for the food.

The consistency seems like pudding.

But curiously...

Like oil floating on the sea,

the color changes whenever you
look at it from another angle.

I cooked the meat for a long time,

so it should be delicious.

That is... edible meat, right?

I hear a voice...

It's calling me to come join it.

So many beautiful girls.

Hurry and wake up, Onii-chan.

Eat to your heart's content.

Good morning.

You really are who I was fated to be with!

Kousuke.

Kousuke!

Ouch!

How is it?

I th-think you need quite
a lot more practice.

Hatsumi, could it be possible you
washed the rice with dish soap?

Yes. I used the powerful one.

I s-see.

So, Hatsumi, when you wash rice,
you just use water, not soap.

I'm sorry.

Next time, I'll take care.

Ludie, try things other than the rice.

Yes.

Oh my, I wonder where Ludie-chan went to?

Maybe she's pregnant?

I will eat it.

I just didn't want to
see Nee-san be sad.

What kind of mental
state did I reach here?

So, what is it, "to live?"

To seek happiness, of course.

What is... happiness?

What is this?

Eat up.

You'll get right back on your feet.

I only ever saw her crying

during the decisive battle with
the Church of the Malevolent Lord.

- I never expected that cup
noodles could do that too...

- It's so good!

- It's so good!

Did you find him?

No. There are traces, but...

He must be close. Let's find him!
