Okay, let's go.
The second night of the Harvest Festival.
Iruma obtained the Seed of Beginnings and is now
looking for an underground cave so he can meet back up with Lead.
Thank goodness Toto-san told us the way back.
It did take quite a while for us to complete the trial...
Episode 1: The Exciting Traffic Accident!
I'm Hoshino Rin (16).
Oh, no! I'm so late!
I'm going to become even stronger so I can protect your smile.
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
And maybe even this planet!
I need to get out of here and meet back up with Lead-kun...
What should I say about Naphula-san?
I mean...
we're supposed to be rivals, but they did help me get this seed.
Maybe we can split up our points three ways?
Um... hmm...
Or maybe I'll split my points in half with Lead-kun,
and then split my half in half with Naphula-san...
Hmm...
I'll figure it out after I meet back up with him.
He put it off for now.
The students of the Misfit Class were given a task.
If they do not all advance to the Dalet rank before their second year,
they will be kicked out of the Royal One, which they worked so hard to acquire.
Iruma and his friends must attempt the rank-advancement exams.
First up... The Harvest Festival!
Wish Upon Your Bow
"Wish Upon Your Bow."
Come to think of it...
Naphula-san's smell isn't bothering me anymore.
Maybe I just got used to it, like adapting to my surroundings.
The Harvest Festival is reminding me a lot of how I used to be.
Back then...
I did everything I could just to survive.
Ever since I came to the netherworld,
I've been surrounded by new and mysterious things,
and there have been some rough spots.
At first, I was pretty scared of everyone,
but I mean...
I really thought they were going to eat me.
All the teachers and students just looked really intimidating.
But they all ended up being great people...
er, great demons.
I even made some friends, finally got some good sleep,
and got to eat until I was full,
and my life at school's been super fun.
Yeah, I am human...
But I'm working hard in the netherworld
because I want to.
That's why...
It's always super exciting...
and exhilarating!
Let's go.
Up you go.
Huh? I'm okay.
That's why...
while I'm here in the netherworld, I want to...
Iruma!
Found you!
What?!
How've you been?!
Your mother and father are living their best lives!
Huh? Wait, why?!
Or rather, how did you...
How?
We walked.
Wait, wait!
But we're in the nether—
This is the netherworld...
But I can somehow see these two pulling it off!
They'd find a way here!
Iruma!
Yay, yay, happy-go-lucky!
Happy-go-lucky!
Yay, yay-yay, yay!
Your mom and dad are broke again!
So we're trying to figure out our next get-rich-quick scheme!
Doesn't that sound fun, Iruma?
Seriously?
No, wait! I have to say it!
I need to scold them! I need to scold them for selling me off!
Why don't we try to get rich in the desert next?
I'm sick of the North Pole.
Hey, great idea!
We'll just look for treasure in the pyramids and take it for ourselves!
We'll be rich in no time!
They're not listening at all!
That sounds fun!
Hey, scorpions are edible, right?
This is how they've always been.
Maybe we can sell them at a food stall.
That's great! Well, we'll need to find some people.
Now things are just going to end up like they always do...
And that's where we're at.
So let's go home, Iruma.
Um, er, no, I don't...
Huh? But why? You always said...
Okay!
...and went along with us.
You've always been a good boy who listens to his parents.
Am I right?
That's right!
And that's why we love you, Iruma!
Of course we do!
Come on, let's go, Iruma! It'll be a blast!
Yes! Let's go, Iruma! Come on!
Well...
Come on, Iruma...
Please!
Iruma!
Welp, down he goes.
Your ability that makes your opponents see illusions of what traumatizes them!
Splendid work, Orobas-sama!
He went so brilliantly upside-down.
I, Ocho, am in awe of your greatness!
Him falling was a coincidence.
I went pretty hard on the spell with him.
Even if he survived,
Iruma will continue to suffer from
illusions of his trauma throughout the Harvest Festival.
Well done, Orobas-sama—
Huh? Who the heck are you?
Yikes, you stink! What the hell?!
Ugh! You reek!
Uh, Orobas-sama! Could you get rid of this freak, too?
We're only after the Misfit Class.
Nobody else matters.
Yes, of course, Orobas-sama!
Let's go.
Yes, sir!
Hundred
Bullseyes
Where am I?
I remember... seeing my mom and dad, and then I fell—ow!
My leg...
I guess I'm hurt. What should I do?
I need to get back up there, quick.
Azz-kun? Clara?
Huh? But why?
Wait, did you two fall—
Stay away from me, human.
Huh?
Your magic and mana were all a lie.
An illusion.
B-But that's—
You liar. I hate you.
Don't bother us anymore.
You traitor.
Wai—
Please wait! That's not...
That's not true!
What's not true?
Ameri-san...
To think that you were lying this whole time...
I'm so disappointed in you.
What did you expect?
It's impossible for humans and demons to coexist.
You should not be allowed in the netherworld.
Iruma-kun!
Iruma-sama.
Grandpa! Opera-san!
It's okay. Don't worry.
Come here.
Gran— I—
Now...
Now you'll be able to go home, because your parents are here to get you.
Iruma!
Now, please hurry and go back where you belong, Iruma-sama.
Iruma!
Come now, Iruma. We're going home...
...together!
They wouldn't say that...
None of them would ever
say things like that.
They had to be illusions.
I know for a fact...
that they're illusions...
But my body won't move...
And it's not because my leg hurts.
I was always okay...
Even if I was by myself.
I always expected to get left behind,
and I wasn't even that troubled by it.
Falling into despair was pointless.
It didn't fill my belly, and nothing good came of it.
But now...
I have so many precious people around me.
I have a place of my very own that's warm and that I love.
But if...
If they all leave me behind, too...
I'll be all alone again.
There's...
There's a word I've avoided saying this whole time.
I don't want to say it.
I shouldn't say it.
But...
I'm lonely!
No!
Don't... leave me behind.
Seriously.
You're such an idiot, you know that?
Did you forget what I taught you?
M-Master?
Did you forget what I taught you?
That's right. She's right!
Don't falter.
I'm...
an archer!
I'm going to shoot through
this fear!
Sweet
Ultra
Lame! It went "sploosh!" What is it, water?!
Sploosh!
I think I shot it... exactly how you taught me...
Correct. You ain't wrong.
First, take a step.
Second, aim.
Third, fire.
Bang! Yeah!
However...
Your orders aren't getting through to this.
The most basic part of magic is imagining exactly what you wanna do.
You should've poured your desires into the feathers and produced an arrow.
That's the kind of hero I want to be!
Back then, was your desire to shoot the enemy?
No!
Yeah, this arrow's way scrawnier than the one I saw before.
What you've gotta do is concentrate harder,
visualize your ideal arrow,
and then teach your partner there how to shoot.
Now, then...
What's the kind of situation where you'd be concentrating the most?
Huh?
Hmm... When it's quiet?
No, it's the opposite!
When you're in the ultimate danger!
When you're faced with life or death, your concentration skyrockets!
And that's why...
You need to get the wrong idea.
This ain't no can.
It's a lion-shaped magical beast.
It's totally a bluff,
but convince yourself that you'll die if you touch it!
Die?!
This field is a forest! And go!
Don't falter!
Did you forget what I taught you?
Concentrate!
A shot like that ain't gonna defeat this thing!
Communicate your vision of shooting it better!
Yes, ma'am!
Don't get distracted!
You just died, you dummy!
It's so hard... My mind's a mess.
I need to remember how it felt surviving back then.
Don't look away from the enemy.
Take a step.
Aim.
And shoot!
Visualize simply but realistically.
The sound of the arrow piercing through its flesh!
The beast roaring! Its smell!
And then... Tell it your desire.
Tell it your desire.
Pierce through!
Ultra
Sweet
You pierced through it.
All right. Not bad!
Sweet
Ultra
Now...
We can move on to the next step.
Huh?!
Imagine being in life-or-death situations 99 more times.
D-Did you say 99 more times?!
Just because you managed to get through to your bow once ain't gonna make you partners.
You need a total of a hundred times.
You give up?
No.
Because my parents put me in life-or-death situations way more times than that!
Oh?
Actually... That just means your parents are pretty messed up!
Huh?!
I'll get through it.
The life-or-death situation I visualize with this bow and arrow...
Hey! I keep telling you not to falter!
A hundred patterns...
No. Maybe even more.
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
Aim carefully, now.
Aim carefully!
More... More!
Make sure you concentrate in any situation!
Yes, ma'am!
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
More...
How many... times have you done this now?
I have no idea...
Most people get tired of this and just give up...
Seriously...
I'm going to quit after all. Thanks for everything.
If you don't win after you put me through all this trouble...
You're gonna be my errand boy for life. You hear me?
Uh, hello?!
I'm looking forward to it...
my dumb student.
Listen up, Iruma.
Preparing your bow and arrow is the same as preparing your heart.
I'm not scared of my parents.
Iruma... Go home.
I'm not scared of this monster.
What I'm scared of...
to the point that my body doesn't want to move...
is...
is the thought of not being able to be with everyone anymore!
Remember... what Master told you.
Visualize shooting through the fear!
Iruma...
Communicate my desire to the bow and arrow!
You're a liar.
I never want to see you again.
Why are you still here?
Go home.
Protect the place you belong!
Shoot through it, Suzuki Iruma!
I'm... gonna live in the netherworld!
Ow... Did the bow make me do that?
Or did I just... feel relieved?
So this magical beast...
made itself look like that monster?
I see.
So it really was all an illusion.
That must mean my parents up there were also...
I see.
Okay!
I'm in the middle of the Harvest Festival!
I gotta head back!
To where everyone else is!
So, yeah...
This is my chance to prove that I can stand
shoulder to shoulder with everyone even if I'm human.
Mm...
I guess I should make this sound as demon-like as possible.
Ahem.
I'm human...
So in this festival that'll decide the best demon...
I'm gonna win, no matter what!
I'm gonna win, no matter what
Gyu-gyo-gaa.
Su
Ki
Ma
Right around the time Iruma got used to Naphula's smell...
We're almost to the surface!
That was close!
Thank you!
Nice and slow... Nice and slow...
Uh, right. You, too, Naphula-san.
We got across!
Let's go!
Iruma was finally somewhat understanding what Naphula was saying.
