01x03 - Now I Understand! Elite General Communication

Post by bunniefuu »

[chuckles softly]

[UCHIMURA] We really should

streamline this process, huh?

-[OLULU] Mr. Uchimura!

-Huh?

Guess who just closed the deal

with the werebear tribe?

I'll give you a hint,

it was me!

Hey, awesome!

[OLULU]

Negotiations are much simpler

when you prioritize both

parties' terms and conditions.

I learned something new.

Ah, I've been

in plenty of meetings

where people waste

a ton of time

by not taking

that into account.

[both chuckle]

Also, because you were able

to brilliantly facilitate

the alliance

with the ogre tribe,

you're going to be given

the distinguished

service award!

What's that now?

[OLULU] The award ceremony

will be held soon,

so I'll ask more

about the details

once I've had a bite to eat.

[UCHIMURA]

I've never received any praise,

and they're already

giving me an award?

And a distinguished one,

at that?

Uchimura, lunch is ready!

Have a bite!

Oh, wow,

you've got perfect timing.

-[chuckles softly]

-[UCHIMURA] What're we having?

MEAGER

Gim porridge again.

[bites]

[slurps]

[slurps]

[UCHIMURA] Hm.

Weak.

Well, they have

to water it down

to make it last longer.

[Ulmandra laughs]

[UCHIMURA]

Gim is what we always eat here.

It's a crop cultivated

in the farms

on the outskirts of the city.

Olulu, who has tons

of experience

with governing and diplomacy,

now works for me,

so I've been fortunate enough

to have extra time

- to learn about this new world.

- It's so watery!

[UCHIMURA]

This mushy gim porridge

is the Demon Army's

staple food.

I know that, but.

[sighs]

I'd love to eat meat

once in a while.

-[ULMANDRA] Okay, fine.

-Huh?

-Let's hunt!

-We're getting it ourselves?

Really?

[wings flapping]

EPISODE 3 NOW I UNDERSTAND!

ELITE GENERAL COMMUNICATION

Conveniently,

we've been asked

to help exterminate

a magical beast nearby.

Lately, it's been wreaking

havoc on this land.

Hold up, beast?

[ULMANDRA] At least five orcs

who live in the area

were devoured

by the exact same beast.

That means it's a big deal,

like an emergency!

[ULMANDRA]

Survival of the fittest.

The weak get eaten.

[gasps]

Well, normally,

the orcs would need

to handle this on their own

but this beast has grown

rather strong,

so it's best that we help.

[UCHIMURA]

The gim porridge is so thin

because there's

a food shortage here.

On top of that,

now there's beasts?

This world has a lot

of problems to overcome.

What can I do about it?

-[ULMANDRA] Found them!

-[screams]

-These are the mushrooms!

-[UCHIMURA] Mushrooms?

Can you eat them?

[ULMANDRA]

Yeah.

Apparently,

they're the same ones

the orcs were picking

when they were attacked.

They're an important

part of the orcish diet.

If we stake out this area,

the hellhog should show up.

[stomping]

-Huh?

-Huh?

- [scream]

- [roaring]

[stomps]

[UCHIMURA]

A giant boar?

[hissing]

[growling]

[shudders]

-[ULMANDRA] Back away.

-Okay.

He's doing that

to intimidate us.

Get back and I'll k*ll it!

[hellhog growls]

[screams]

[hellhog groans]

[UCHIMURA]

I see.

It appears boars of this type

have a difficult time

looking up.

That's why

she attacked it from above.

She's knows her stuff.

[growls softly]

[grunting]

[screaming]

[growls]

-[thuds]

-[UCHIMURA] This thing's worse

than a natural disaster!

-[Ulmandra grunts]

-[UCHIMURA] And Ms. Ulmandra

is incredible for dodging it

but I don't see

how she can finish it off.

She doesn't even have a weapon.

-[screams]

-[UCHIMURA] She could

scare it off

but that's not the goal here.

We're hunting!

Massive horns, sharp claws,

and powerful fangs.

Most wild animals evolved

and essentially grew

special tools

for fighting enemies.

But humans are different.

We're truly weak.

Our capacity

for k*lling is low.

That's why we made weaponry.

Swords, spears,

bows and arrows,

-[expl*si*n]

-g*ns, and bombs.

To enhance our k*lling power,

we've built the weapons

we don't naturally have.

Ms. Ulmandra must

know this as well.

I wonder why

she didn't bring a side arm?

[ULMANDRA]

I'll never k*ll it like this.

I'll start trying for real.



[growls]



She strengthened all the armor

that she's wearing, huh?

[ULMANDRA]

I hate using this spell

because it lasts forever

but you gotta do

what you gotta do.

You'd better be

worth the trouble.

[growls]

[footsteps approaches]

[roars]

Now!

Look at that!

I'd sure hate to

rupture your intestines

and taint your delicious meat.

[hellhog growls]

[Ulmandra grunts]

-[hellhog growls]

-Wha?

[screams]

-[grunts]

-[hellhog groans]

[blood splatters]

[shudders]

[thuds]

[sighs]

[UCHIMURA] So, that must be

the kind of magic demons have.

Okay, now we can pig out!

[UCHIMURA] She expects me

to have an appetite

after seeing all that gore?

[birds chirping]

[ORC CHIEF]

Thank you so much.

I can't believe

you defeated it by yourself.

Hm.

Glad you're pleased.

Now, I know

meat is scarce here,

so, help yourselves!

[crowd cheering]

[UCHIMURA]

What, boar,

orcs,

gross!

Here you go,

I've broken the leg meat down

-for you to cook.

-Thanks.

Wait a second, does this mean

you actually know

how to cook, too?

I'm an elite general,

so yeah, I can cook.

How about I give you a taste

of this nation's

yummiest meat dishes?

Yes, please!

All I've eaten

since coming here

is gim porridge,

so I can't wait.

How do you plan to prepare it?

[fire roars]

On an open flame.

Careful not to burn it!

[sizzling]

[explodes]

[ULMANDRA]

I present tasty charred boar!

[UCHIMURA] She wasn't kidding

about the open flame.

It's a bit more well-done

than I usually order it.

Oh, just pipe down and try it!

[gulps]

[bites]

[UCHIMURA]

What's this?

A distinct bitterness

laced with a grainy texture

has spread over my palate.

The oily meat juices

flowing out of it

taste like how I'd imagine

the finest diesel fuel does.

This is oral pollution,

an environmental crisis

in my mouth!

Don't be mean.

Well, I think

you're the mean one here,

seeing how you fed me

this strange dark matter!

Wow, you sure

forget your manners

when it comes

to the culinary arts!

[Uchimura grunts]

[Uchimura panting]

Okay calm down,

you're just having

isekai culture shock right now.

This is worse than I thought,

though.

Oh, is this a communal oven?

[ULMANDRA] Yeah,

'cause they're expensive.

Salt is a rare product, too.

Seriously?

There's no way that's enough,

but it's pricey.

It won't change the flavor

unless we add a tad more.

[gasps]

[UCHIMURA]

Excuse me,

could you let me try

my hand at that?

[ULMANDRA] What?

[MALE ORC] What?

[UCHIMURA]

I'll make sure to only use

a pinch or two of salt.

Now, if I could just find some

good edible mushrooms instead.



[fire crackling]

[bubbling]

And voila!

Grilled boar skewer

served with umami boar soup!

Hm?

[bites]

-[Uchimura chuckles]

-Hold on!

It's so good!

This is quite well cooked.

My kids won't eat it

when I make it.

[UCHIMURA]

Wild boar has a gamey taste,

so you have to soak it

to remove

as much blood as you can.

It's also very greasy,

so you want to cook it

as far away from the flame

as you can to avoid

incinerating it as it roasts.

When putting meat in soup,

you can reduce gaminess

by keeping

braising times short.

[crowd gasps]

I can teach you

all of my cooking tips

-if you would like.

-You'd do that for us?

I'd love to learn this recipe.

Oh, good grief.

Don't you think

it's a bit lowly

for an elite general

to teach people how to cook?

Nah, you're wrong about that.

Why do you think they say

food is a ruler

by which you can

measure culture then?

-Is that not true?

-What?

[UCHIMURA] Cooking

is all about experience.

Soaking the meat

would've occurred to anyone

who eats it daily.

Most cooking is trial and error

and a wealthy country

is the foundation

for such experimentation.

So, what you're saying is

these people are too poor

to learn these types of things?

I mean, pretty much, yeah.

[scoffs]

I hate to admit it,

but I think you're right.

This nation is poor.

Compared to the powers

surrounding us,

we are weak and small.

These people don't have

enough food.

However,

that's exactly why you and I

must work to change it!

It's our duty to

lift them out of poverty!

-Am I wrong?

-You've never been more right!

[chuckles softly]

Honestly,

I can't believe a simple meal

inspired me so much.

You're talented.

[insects chirping]

Now that that's done,

let's get out of here.

[UCHIMURA]

What, we're traveling at night?

[fire roars]

[ULMANDRA] We have this

to brighten our path.

It should scare off

any magical beasts.

Whoa,

you demons sure are something.

True.

It's just

the natural way for us.

Only us demons can access

what's necessary to perform

powerful magic like this

"knowledge of all things."

[UCHIMURA]

I see.

The demi-humans

led by Ms. Gnome

train so hard every day

precisely because they aren't

able to use magic.

By the way,

is Ms. Sylphid a demi-human

or a demon?

She must be a demon

if she's known as

the Archmage of Storms.

From what I know,

she's never gone

to a single

Big Four meeting in person.

[UCHIMURA] She's always

the only one joining remotely?

How bold of her.

[ULMANDRA] Anyway, whatever.

Let's go.

Uh.

[UCHIMURA]

Hey, wait, Ms. Ulmandra!

It wouldn't be

an otherworldly adventure

without a little magic, huh?

But isn't it all a bit much?

-Huh?

-[UCHIMURA] You were having

a difficult time fighting

that hellhound at first.

I think it's because you didn't

have a weapon on hand

to quickly k*ll it with.

I mean, being able

to turn your body

into a weapon is cool

but even you said

you didn't like

how long it takes

for you to change back.

It'd be way more efficient

to equip yourself

with hand weapons

from the start.

Same goes with your cooking,

if you had just

used their oven,

then you wouldn't have

burned the food.

Instead of fixating on magic,

why not try some new tools?

It could be fun!

And your clothes, too.

Instead of wearing so little,

maybe you should wear

some kind of armor

that can cover you up

and protect your skin?

[roars]

-[blows]

-Huh? Wait. What?

[ULMANDRA] Uchimura,

[UCHIMURA] Yes?

I think I see

what you're trying to say,

but.

What you just said

is incredibly offensive.

Wha?

[ULMANDRA]

So, change of plans.

Stay here tonight

and come back in the morning

with an orc escort.

Ms. Ulmandra?

[ULMANDRA]

I'm disappointed.

I was just

starting to trust you.

You really are

nothing more than a human.

All this efficiency talk.

You don't even know

what being a demon means.

[gasps]

[UCHIMURA]

I screwed up big time.

[footsteps receding]

-[Ulmandra grunts]

-[UCHIMURA] What?

What did I freaking say?

No, wait, she's leaving?

I've got to go after her

and apologize.

[distant roaring]

Nuh-uh, I won't last

two seconds in the woods

if there are

scary monsters out!

Don't go, Ms. Ulmandra!

[screaming]

I'm begging you!

[DEMON LORD]

Very nice work

on defeating

that magical beast.

[Uchimura gasps]

But I couldn't help

but notice that

Ulmandra returned

late last night

and yet, you were

escorted home by orcs

in the early hours

of the morning.

[Uchimura shudders]

Did something transpire?

[UCHIMURA]

Oh, Demon Lord,

I'm afraid I'm

I'm not cut out

to be an elite general!

[DEMON LORD]

I think I understand

what's going on here.

[UCHIMURA] I'm terribly sorry,

Your Majesty!

I have no right

to be an elite general

after tarnishing

your company's image!

You might as well fire me now!

[DEMON LORD]

Don't be imprudent.

-[chokes]

-Go clear up

Ulmandra's confusion

and reconcile with her,

Uchimura.

That is a direct order

from the top.

[UCHIMURA] Uh.

A task from the Demon Lord?

I understand, sir.

[DEMON LORD] This may seem like

petty workplace drama

but it's actually

the perfect opportunity

for you to learn more

about this world

and its rich culture.

[MALE VILLAGER 1]

What's wrong with that guy?

[FEMALE VILLAGER 1] Yikes.

[MALE VILLAGER 2] Look at him.

[UCHIMURA]

I don't understand.

What was Ms. Ulmandra

so angry about?

All this efficiency talk.

You don't even know

what being a demon means.

What does it mean, though?

There are two species here.

Demons and demi-humans.

Before coming here,

I thought that demons were

smart and refined

and that demi-humans,

like those orcs,

were wild and brawny, but.

Those are demi-humans.

That's a Demon.

Demi-human.

Demons?

It's the opposite

in this world.

If Ms. Ulmandra is an example,

demons like to show more skin

and are far more brazen.

But why?

Style reflects the culture

and philosophy,

the era, and even the religious

views of the times.

So why wear next to nothing?

Only us demons can access

what's necessary

to perform

powerful magic like this.

"Knowledge of all things."

Is it a hard and fast rule?

Are all non-demons

incapable of using magic?

Forget all you know!

-[unzips]

-There's bound to be a book

containing the facts on

how magic works in this world!

Found it.

"For demons,

a beautifully trained body

is a source of pride."

"This is because a strong body

is paramount to cast spells

and to increase

one's personal power."

So the stronger they get,

the more magic power they have.

That's how it works

in this world.

Demons prance around

in skimpy clothes

to show off

their hard work ethic

and their commitment

to their passion.

In other words, I..

[UCHIMURA]

Instead of wearing so little

maybe you should

wear some kind of armor

that can cover you up

and protect your skin?

Oh no, I rejected

Ms. Ulmandra herself.

[screams]

Of course she's mad!

I keep forgetting

I'm in culture shock!

Didn't I learn anything

from my time with Mr. Tarius?

My answer for you is nay!

Thank you, demon lord.

I've learned even more

about this world

thanks to your task but..

I have no idea how to make up

with Ms. Ulmandra!

[crying]

What do I do?

[Olulu grunts]

[sighs]

That's it for the firewood.

What now?

[gasps]

[screams]

Who's there?

A wicked god?

That's not it.

-[sighs]

-Ms. Ulmandra?

Uchimura hates me

and I don't know

what I'm supposed to do!

Huh, why don't you tell me

what happened?

[Ulmandra crying]

[ULMANDRA] He didn't say

I looked attractive.

I don't understand?

Uchimura never even bothered

to pay my body

a compliment of any kind!

[OLULU]

What is she going on about?

[Ulmandra crying]

[OLULU] How can I put this

in a gentle way?

-[ULMANDRA] Hm?

-I realized this

when I worked for him,

but Mr. Uchimura has

very different standards

than we do.

-Huh?

-[OLULU] He is a human.

Humans don't really understand

how showing so much skin

can be liberating.

[ULMANDRA]

Absurd!

What do I look like to him?

[OLULU]

A tease.

Ridiculous!

But, why? I always keep

my private areas covered up!

True, but those are

the only areas you cover,

-so it's pretty risque.

-Huh?

Wait a second.

Everything I did to show

my hot body off to him.

Yeah, it probably

worked against you.

[Ulmandra banging]

[ULMANDRA] Then that means

I have made so many

dumb mistakes over

and over and over again!

Please stop doing that!

I'm afraid

you'll break the floor!

-[ULMANDRA] Help me.

-Huh?

What should I do, huh?

I'm so embarrassed.

Let's see,

I just remembered

something Mr. Uchimura said

my first day working with him.

[UCHIMURA] Olulu, since

we'll be working together,

I have one request.

I'd like you to feel free

to be yourself around me.

I don't know, sounds hard.

[UCHIMURA]

You can't control everything

so don't be afraid to mess up.

You can trust me, so just

be honest with me, okay?

If you need anything,

I'll have your back.

We can always

figure things out as a team.

That's the kind of person

he really is.

So, you can just be you.

I think he'll be patient

with your mistakes.

Hmm.

[fire crackling]



BAR

BAR

DEMON OVERLORDY

DEMON OVERLORDY

[slurps]

[exhales]

Nothing pairs better with sauce

than a sweet Japanese sake.

Sweet pairs with sauce,

and dry pairs with salt.

This is perfect.

-[MASTER] Here you go.

-Huh?

[footsteps receding]

[sizzling]

[bites]

[crunches]

It's tasty.

[bites]

[MASTER]

They're homemade.

Hm?

[chuckles softly]

[chopping]

[sizzling]

[UCHIMURA]

What's that?

I've never seen

the master smile before.

[chuckles]

[UCHIMURA]

That's it!

[slurps]

[exhales]

[panting]

[UCHIMURA] I don't need

to think so hard about it.

[door opens]

[panting]

It's important to understand

someone else's culture

but there's more to it

than that!

Hm.

[groans]

[panting]

-[gasps]

-Ms. Ulmandra!

[ULMANDRA]

Uchimura!

[UCHIMURA]

I can't fixate on that.

I need to honestly

convey my feelings to her.

[both panting]

Trust me, your body is

extremely hot and sexy to me!

I'm not a nympho!

I just wanted you

to compliment my hot

and sexy physique!

-What?

-What?

[UCHIMURA] No, wait,

that's not what I meant.

I just wanted to tell you

how much

I appreciate your body,

but I'm bad with words,

so it came out

sounding really weird.

[ULMANDRA] And I'm not trying

to lead you on or anything.

I had no other intentions.

I'm just proud of how hard

I work out, I swear!

[both smile]

[UCHIMURA] I realized

I don't know the first thing

about you or this world.

[exhales]

I'm trying to learn!

[ULMANDRA] Have you been

researching demons

to understand me better?

You're straightforward

and honest even to a fault.

So, it's on me!

I forced my standards

on you, too.

I even got so mad

I left you in the woods.

Yeah, gotta admit

I thought I might

actually die out there,

but it's all cool.

-Hmm.

-[UCHIMURA] Ms. Ulmandra.

Oh.

We told each other

the truth, see?

And learned something valuable.

Goes to show we'd probably

make great partners, huh?

Oh, I see your point.

So, yeah,

maybe this will all work out.

He wants to be my partner?

Is that a subtle way of saying

he's into me?

[UCHIMURA]

This is great!

Now we'll be able to continue

working harmoniously together.

[DEMON LORD]

The alliance with the ogres

and the unification

of the seven tribes

has dramatically increased

the scale of the Demon Army.

I grant you this distinguished

service award

for facilitating this union.

Raise your head,

Overseas Manager

and Elite General

Dennosuke Uchimura.

Sir.

[DEMON LORD]

You've achieved much

in a short amount of time.

In recognition of your success,

I bestow upon thee

this magic stone.

[gasps]

I am honored

to receive this award.

It means so much to me.

But, sir,

I didn't work all alone.

I couldn't have

achieved this success

without my partner's help, so.

[gasps]

Huh?

Without you,

I couldn't have done this.

What the?

[UCHIMURA] This jewel

represents our future together.

Will you accept

this award today?

-Wow, you're such a huge dummy!

-[UCHIMURA] What,

why is she putting me down?

[UCHIMURA]

Please take it!

Giving someone a magic stone

can be seen as a reward

but giving one to a member

of the opposite sex,

signifies a marriage proposal.

If you must give it to me,

do it someplace romantic!

Not in public like this!

Ugh!

[SYLPHID]

Dennosuke Uchimura,

he's ingratiated himself

despite his incompetence.

[UCHIMURA] What do I have to

do for you to say yes?

Oshinko,

when written in kanji,

means "new fragrance."

[bites]

And smell does

awaken old memories, yes.

So, that must mean

Oshinko is a time machine.
