01x03 - The World Isn't So Kind as to Allow One-Sided Attacks

[bunniefuu]

[opening theme]

[upbeat music]

Oh, hey, I can see

the city of Hanabusa!

It looks like a Japanese city.

- [Yogiri sighs]

- Come on, perk up a little!

Don't you wanna hone

your skills any?

There's no point. I just

k*ll enemies one after another.

Huh?

Demons and thieves

were coming after us,

so I did what I had to do.

Let me know about those.

Carelessly walking around

is pretty dumb.

I'm very aware of

that fact, thank you.

But if you always get tired

after using your ability,

then maybe your power

can only be used

a limited number of times.

Getting tired

lets me use it even more.

As much as I want.

There's seriously no limit?!

[upbeat music]

Yoo-hoo!

Oh!

Seems like instead

of castle walls,

they put up a barrier!

[Tomochika and Mokomoko gasp]

[Tomochika] Whoa!

A high-rise hotel!

Miss Celestina told me

about this place.

This will be our base

for a while.

I'm so down! [giggles]

[Tomochika squeals]

This is pretty swanky.

I knew it!

It's you, Miss Dannoura!

Oh?

That's wonderful.

I'm glad you're safe.

Tachibana? Why are you here?

Everyone should still be

in that primeval forest.

The truth is, I move

separately from them.

There's no need for me to work

with those who

level up inefficiently.

Oh, if you say so.

Who is this strange woman?

You're being awfully

friendly with Yuuki.

What?

Lay off there, Erika.

These guys here

are my classmates.

If you say so, Yuuki

Master, you are so noble!

Your spirit is so tolerant

even when dealing

with rude people!

Very befitting

of a true champion!

Hey, Takatou, who

are these weird people?

Your guess is as good as mine.

[laughs] I have yet

to introduce you.

These girls are my bodyguards,

specially chosen from

among all of my servants.

Ladies, introduce yourselves.

Hi, I'm Erika, fifth rank.

Honestly, I have no desire

to give my name to you two,

but I have no choice

since Yuuki said I had to.

Hi, greetings to you!

My name is Stephanie,

fourth rank!

But I don't wanna talk to you

unless my master orders

me to do so, though!

Welcome, classmates.

I'm Chelsey, third rank.

Miss, will you die, please?

Yeah, I'm Euphemia,

second rank.

Frankly, I find you unsightly,

so would you please

do me a favor

and disappear from my sight?

My name is Riza and I serve as

the captain of the bodyguards.

Don't be so arrogant as to think

of him as onlya classmate.

Would you girls

quit smacking us

with the hostility already?!

Oh, my apologies. I'm no

good at being harsh with girls.

All of you keep quiet, okay?

[bodyguards] Yes, sir.

Tachibana was one

of the students

that got brought in on the

bus with us, wasn't he?

I don't know what kind

of power he acquired,

but he sure is confident.

Uh, actually,

Tachibana has always been

self-assured like this.

He's been popular with

the girls for a while

and always so c*ck.

Sounds like high school is

actually

a much more interesting place

than I thought it would be.

That's right! Meeting you

here is some sort of destiny.

Will you become my mistress?

[bodyguards growl]

[Tomochika sputters]

I am perhaps too hasty in

my asking you such a thing,

or maybe you are concerned

about your friend, Takatou.

I don't usually accept men

as a rule,

but since he's a classmate,

I can take him in as

some sort of servant.

It's come all the way back

to not being funny anymore.

I have no urge to k*ll him

when he lacks this

much common sense.

[Tomochika] What is it that

makes you

so confident in yourself?

[chuckles] I am what you

would call a Dominator,

the strongest class.

I control all. So that is why.

I don't think I've ever

seen you look so smug before,

but you still haven't had

much training

in honing your new Gift,

have you?

All our classmates are

still training themselves

back in the forest.

You're just so taken

by me, you can't help it!

- [Tomochika] What?

- It's okay.

I'll tell you a little

about myself.

It was a victory party

at the town I arrived in

after clearing my first mission.

[Ootori] Hey, do you

have a moment, Tachibana?

[Tachibana] Hmm?

Ootori, what do you need?

I'd like to give you

a bit of advice.

The Gift I was given

is Consultant,

my role is to provide

good counsel

in order to resolve

any problems.

That's great and all, but

why are you giving me counsel?

Since you are a dominator,

everyone is looking to avoid

coming in contact with you.

What are you saying?

You don't have the time to

squabble amongst your peers.

If no Sages arise

from our classmates,

everyone will be made

into livestock.

[glass thuds]

What you should do

first of all, Tachibana,

is purchase a large amount

of the weakest level-1 servants.

If the servants are

victorious in battle,

the defeated enemies

can become my servants

and their experience

becomes mine as well.

But that sort of thing

wasn't listed

as part of my abilities.

A consultant's abilities

also include

knowing some of the hidden

specs of how Gifts work.

Why are you making an effort

to tell me all this?

We need various approaches

in order to bring forth a Sage.

Everyone using the same

methods is just suicide.

Giving advice to those

who seem to be promising

raises our chances of success.

This is my survival strategy.

I pray for your good fortune.

So that's why!

There is way too much

effective support personnel

existing in this world!

I get it.

Even while you're

building up the number

of weak subordinates like this,

you're raising your

level too, right?

Yes! My level's increasing by

leaps and bounds by doing this.

What do you think,

Miss Dannoura?

- [bodyguards growling]

- Wanna rethink my offer?

Nothing in me would want that!

It doesn't have to happen

now, just think it over.

Well, let's head out, girls.

I'm still a little

ticked off about all this.

Well then, I say we

should just leave him be.

But I will tell you this:

If you join forces with him,

you may be safer

than you are with me.

[growls] You're gonna

make me mad saying that.

What? I'm not sure why.

Sorry.

[light playful music]

[upbeat rock music]

[wind blows harshly]

This is the Aggressor,

The Darkness.

It doesn't stand

a chance against me.

How much longer can we stay

here like this, I wonder?

Perhaps until the boy

awakens from his slumber.

We're already on day three.

I know, how about you go

and check in on him for us?

I would rather not!

[Tomochika] Huh?

There's no telling

what will happen

if I enter that room without

permission!

Training all the time

is exhausting.

I'm gonna get some air.

What? What's that black stuff?

[car horns honking]

[crowd yelling indistinctly]

Yee-haw! An invite

from the Immortal Corps!

If you're run over and k*lled,

you are a third-class zombie!

You should volunteer!

- Huh?

- Oh dearie!

I think these

are some very bad people.

They're riddled with

the stench of death.

What is up with this world?

This is totally weird!

People are dying far too easily.

[Mokomoko] Hey, didn't you say

you wanted to take

a look outside?

Not anymore, thank you.

Man, pretty rooms

in a high-class hotel

sure are super cozy.

You can't just lay there and

spend the rest of your days

waiting for all

of this to go away!

- And furthermore

- [Tomochika grunts]

There's someone secretly

watching us here

with hostile intent,

but I can't see them.

What do we do

if we can't see them?

I know, I'll try to wake

him up with a phone call.

Wow, what a very

refreshingly reliant idea.

[phone rings]

[Asaka] Yogiri! Yogiri?

[Nikori barks]

Huh?

Morning, Nikori.

[Nikori barks]

Oh good, you're already up.

Your breakfast is ready.

'Kay, I'm coming.

[birds chirping]

[phone rings]

All right,

I'm on my way there.

[door clicks]

[Yogiri yawns]

Hm?

[eerie music]

[Yogiri sighs]

[mysterious music]

[power shimmering]

[blade clatters]

[muffled] It's me.

Get in here right now!

There was something here.

[Tomochika] Huh?

The hostility was

aimed just at you.

But why come after me?

Huh?

[Yogiri] I'm gonna

use your phone.

Hello? A woman collapsed

in the fifth floor hallway.

What are you talking about?

Wouldn't it be weird

for me not to notice

a dead body while in the hall?

A dead body?! What?

[wind blows]

[alarm sounds]

- Huh?

Erika's signals disappeared.

- [Stephanie] Master!

- Huh?

Takatou, to this person

is definitely one

of Tachibana's girls.

She's the bodyguard named Erika.

Not good. I guess we'll

have to fight that guy.

Maybe it's best we leave.

Right, I'll hurry and

get my things together.

Miss Dannoura,

you seem pretty calm for

a situation like this.

To be honest, I'm pretty

freaked out about it,

but I guess I'm used to it.

Everyone must die

one of these days!

The daughter of a warrior

family wouldn't get upset

over something

so trivial as this.

I'm not that

spiritually enlightened!

[upbeat rock music]

[electricity fizzles]

Ugh, what a disappointment.

Very impressive, Master!

Level 100 demons stand

no chance against you!

[bug] Hmph! Who are you cretins?

Huh? Oh, let's go with

Flare b*mb.

[b*mb explodes]

Contract.

[bug] M-master

[Stephanie] Heal!

[limbs cracking]

What floor do

these ruins go to?

[bug] It goes to floor 150.

Get more allies

as you progress down

to the lower layers.

[bug] As you wish, master.

[Stephanie sighs]

So what is going

on with Erika?

She should be on standby

at the hotel.

I'll check the log.

Hmm. This makes no sense.

She was attacked from behind?

It's hard to imagine that

Erika, being an assassin,

would be taken by surprise.

Why was Erika even in the

hallway in the first place?

If I may make a speculation?

Go ahead.

Maybe she was trying

to please you somehow

by bringing you that

female classmate of yours.

Or perhaps she was

trying to get rid of her

as she thought

her unworthy of you.

"Get rid of her"?

Aren't servants

supposed to act in a way

as to not put their

master at a disadvantage?

It's possible that

what each of us thought

was good for the other

did not exactly align

with your own wishes, Master.

If Erika has done

something extraneous,

miss Dannoura might have run.

I'll have Riza and

Chelsey go and secure her.

[wind howling]

[wind blows]

[energy charging]

No matter what I do,

nothing works.

My high-speed revival

is much faster

than its crumbling

upon being touched.

Nevertheless,

The Darkness doesn't seem

to be taking any damage at all.

[tense electronic music]

[Riza] Oh, my. Where are

you going in such a hurry?

[Riza laughs]

What do you want with us?

Something like this.

[ice crackles]

[Tomochika yelps]

Yuuki instructed us to bring

Miss Dannoura back to him,

and I so want to please Master.

If you come quietly like a

good girl, we won't hurt you.

[ice crumbles]

Huh?

Wow, this is

pretty weakly made.

That sucker is cold and hard!

I tried to k*ll the icicle.

It looks like I can do it.

What do you mean

"k*ll the icicle"?

[Riza laughs nervously]

Why didn't that spell work?!

[ice crackles]

[Tomochika yelps]

[power shimmering]

[ice shatters]

[Riza yelps]

Magic wand, die!

[wand crunches and clatters]

As you can see, I can k*ll

anything with just my thoughts.

Try anything and I'll k*ll you.

Now, will you answer

my questions honestly?

Fine. I'll do as you say.

Can you use magic

without your wand?

I am what's known

as a Wandmaster.

Therefore, I can only use

the magic inside the wand.

Since you're a wand user,

that must mean you have

more than the one, right?

This is the

only other one I have.

[Riza moans]

[Tomochika] Why'd you

bother hiding it there?!

And you! You're staring

pretty hard, Mister!

Sorry, I didn't know it

was something you could hide.

You were ordered

to capture Miss Dannoura

by Tachibana, weren't you?

What about the rest?

Come now. What do you think?

They were all given the

same order as me, of course.

[Tomochika gasps]

[dramatic music]

[Tomochika pants]

Whoa, Miss Dannoura!

Finally, the gift of

the Dannoura way

has started to manifest!

[Tomochika] What is this?

A doll?!

I thought I would be

able to manage these two

all on my own.

Oh, well. [laughs]

[power shimmering]

[body clatters]

They move a lot better

than I thought they would.

Everyone, beat that woman

half to death for me, please.

[Yogiri grunts]

[power shimmering]

[dolls clatter]

[Chelsey gasps]

Oh no, Morurun,

Jennifer, Jackie, my dolls!

Come on, move, please! [gasps]

[door creaks]

Stop it! That's enough!

I beg you,

don't do anything mean!

It's like, somehow,

we're the ones

who are seen as being

the intensely bad people.

[Chelsey] I'm so sorry!

[Tachibana gasps]

What is it, Master?

What seems to be the trouble?

Riza has been k*lled.

[Stephanie] No way!

It seems Chelsey lost

the will to fight

and gave them our intel.

That guy says

he can k*ll anything

with just a mere thought.

Your thoughts?

It sounds highly

implausible, Master.

I'll lead them to a place

that will be easier to

observe them while attacking.

[insects buzzing]

[Tomochika screams]

Can't you scream a little

more cutely than that,

my dear ancestor?

- Oh yeah, c*ck-

- Don't you say it!

I feel like just that word

will fill my brain with them!

[Mokomoko] Tachibana

has come to observe us

by using all the bugs

under his control!

Can you do something

about the c*ck?

By c*ck,

you mean these things?

I can k*ll them, but they'll

just plop down on our heads.

Okay, scratch that idea.

Are you sure?

'Cause even these little things

may be able to k*ll

a full-grown human.

Whoa, whoa,

what are you on about?

It's not like these things

can really k*ll people, right?

Maybe if a huge amount of them

got stuffed into your mouth,

they could suffocate you.

[Tomochika squeaks]

[c*ck] Wah! Wah! Wah!

[Tomochika screams]

Yuuki Tachibana!

You royally messed up and

have completely pissed me off!

This is awful! At this rate,

I believe all living things

in this world

have potential to become

our mortal enemies.

[chuckles] Your ability

can't be used

if you're surrounded.

Maybe they'll give up if they

keep getting chased around.

Please, Master.

There's no need to make an enemy

of a mysterious and

unknown powerful force.

Why should I have to be

the one made to retreat?

That wouldn't be the action

of a Dominator, now, would it?

[Euphemia sighs]

Those who run pathetically

are the ones who have made

an enemy of a Dominator.

Yogiri Takatou! k*ll him.

[tense music]

[electricity buzzes]

[c*ck mumbling]

[Tomochika] Um, Takatou?

It's like the bugs are-

[Yogiri] It's like they're

watching our every move,

waiting for any chance

to k*ll us.

I'm sure we're gonna die

an awful death

with them swarming us like this.

I'll k*ll Tachibana, then.

Huh?

If this goes

how I think it will,

it won't be that hard to do.

[intense dramatic music]

The source of this

desire to k*ll

Got him.

Yuuki Tachibana, die.

[power shimmering]

[Stephanie gasps]

[body thuds]

No! Was that

an unexpected dud?

The c*ck are still

alive and doing well!

Everything's okay.

We got to this place

because my abilities work.

You mean it works even if you

don't know where the target is?

If he can reach us

to try and k*ll,

then we can reach him to k*ll.

This world isn't so kind as

to allow one-sided attacks.

That's a bogus line that

only you can say, Takatou!

And these bugs seem to

be getting more active!

[c*ck cheering]

I wonder if they were

released from his mind control

since Tachibana is dead.

No, no, no! That's not good,

not one single bit!

[gasps]

- Let's run.

You're not gonna k*ll them?

Don't you think maybe

it's bad to k*ll something

just because it's

a bit unpleasant?

[Tomochika] Arguments about

fairness

are not what I wanna hear

in a situation like this!

Heal, heal, heal! [sobs]

Master! [cries]

We have finally been released

from this man's control.

I will be taking my leave.

Do you know what you'll do?

I don't know.

Goodbye.

[footsteps clicking]

Where's this light coming from?

Something's off.

[wind blows]

[gasps] What in

the world is this?

[mysterious music]

[Euphemia gasps]

Oh, where did you emerge from?

I don't think you can survive

an attack from The Darkness.

There's nothing that can be

done about it and I'm at a loss,

so I'll hear what

you have to say to me.

[Euphemia gasps]

Now Charm.

[Lain hisses]

I am Lain the Sage,

an Origin Blood.

Become my follower and tell

me everything you know.

We should probably head

back to the royal capital now.

[crowd yelling nearby]

- Huh?

What's going on?

I feel like this isn't over yet.

[intense music]

[zombies groaning]

[Masayuki] Sorry this

is coming outta nowhere,

but the zombie party's

startin' now!

Zombie survivors, have a good

time with whoever you want!

[Masayuki laughs]

What the?

[zombies growling]

I thought this other

world would be a fantasy,

but now we're

in zombie panic mode!
