Limia's capital, Wul,
and Gritonia's capital, Luinas,
are being attacked simultaneously by the demons.
The chaos in this city was just a smokescreen.
Cursed demons...
They really caught us off guard.
They might have used magic that changed their appearances.
They disguised as humans and walked among us?
Perhaps that was the tactic they employed to secretly...
move their forces forward.
Based on what I heard,
the demons disguised as Ms. Sairitsu's bodyguards...
returned to their homeland halfway through the tournament.
In that case,
the central government of Laurel might have been infiltrated.
Where are Aion's troops now?
Reports say they were stranded in a city nearby.
They can't mobilize.
In any case,
unless we return to our countries, there's nothing we can do here.
Kuzunoha, please teleport Princess Lily and me back to our countries!
Well, about that...
We overused the sword for evacuation.
This thing can't take much more.
Please... Please give it a try!
The fate of my kingdom depends on that sword!
But...
Oh my, this is a hairy situation.
Mr. Kuzunoha! Please convince Ms. Tomoe to help us!
I'll return the favor someday.
I'll give you anything as a reward!
If you refuse to help us...
This is utterly blackmailing!
Young Master, this is the perfect chance.
Indeed.
Understood.
Given the urgency of the matter, there's no other way.
Well said!
Are you sure about this?
Are you going to sacrifice the sword that supports the Kuzunoha Company?
Tomoe.
This is a matter of protecting Limia and Gritonia...
that have been holding the front line for us all.
Very well.
Thank you so much!
Kuzunoha, I owe you one for this.
Joshua.
Stay here and assist the nearby cities.
Yes.
You're overdoing it a little.
It's just a fake sword anyway.
They totally bought it.
SMUG Their ignorance is the exact reason...
why the demons made a fool out of them.
How foolish.
Please let me be alone.
I need to ease the pain in my heart.
The pain in your heart?
You mean you should head back to the Subspace for now, right?
TSUKIMICHI -MOONLIT FANTASY- SEASON 2
NIGHT 20: THE DESPISED SCOUNDREL
Young Master, the humans might suffer heavy losses...
...if they still take the demons lightly after the recent attack.
How so?
They think the trouble in these cities served as a decoy to distract them.
They are completely oblivious to the real danger.
I'm afraid Rona was actually setting a trap for the Gritonia Empire.
So, the demons are going after...
Yes. The Kingdom of Limia.
He is so scary with that creepy smile.
But why are they going after Limia?
Their goal is likely to eliminate Limia's hero.
Not the hero of Gritonia?
Yes. I don't know all the details,
but I heard Gritonia's hero...
is capable of using "Charm" to mind-control others,
turning them into puppets that do as he commands.
The hero of Limia...
gets her charm from her natural leadership and charisma,
which rallies her followers, turning them into fanatics.
If that's the case,
we should be more wary about the hero of Limia in the future.
Since she doesn't rely on special powers,
the fanaticism that follows her is bound to cause great changes.
I see your point.
There is no friendship or honor between me and the heroes.
But I want to give them a hand if that is possible.
We were summoned from the same world after all.
OH NO... With that being said,
Tomoe's acting made them believe I couldn't use teleportation.
What do we do now?
Why don't we secretly send other races from the Subspace there?
No can do.
We can't just sit here and let the people of the Subspace do the fighting.
I see. I thought that was a sound idea.
This is frustrating.
I don't want to let the heroes die, but I can't simply go to their aid.
He chose to restore telepathic communication at this time.
It's practically an unintentional act of miracle.
This is a windfall from Makoto's attempt to show his power...
to the great nations while earning the city's trust.
But well, he is "Makoto."
Bad luck always follows him.
I bet he is caught up in some kind of trouble again.
No way.
The goddess is taking action now?
Young Master, what is this?
Forced teleportation.
Cursed goddess!
I won't fall for the same trick again!
Such... Such incredible power!
Give up, darn goddess!
Young Master, everyone who sees this light will likely know it's the goddess's power.
If they saw us resisting...
It'd be bad news for us.
All of our efforts in the past few days would go down the drain.
The church would brand us enemies of the goddess.
That would put us at a great disadvantage.
Darn it! Everything was going so well!
Curse you!
I was hoping to come here when I finally had the confidence...
to swing a punch at her.
Young... Young Master?
How strange. I had a moment of epiphany.
I might actually land a hit on the wayward king...
or the queen.
You think too little of my might, Misumi.
If it isn't the goddess herself.
Long time no see.
You've rendered me speechless.
Didn't I order you...
to behave and stay at the edge of the world?
Unfortunately for you, Lord Tsukuyomi agreed...
to let me walk freely in this world.
I had no choice but to send you into a battle.
But you had the nerve to vex me even more.
I went through a lot of trouble to find you.
Well then, Misumi,
things aren't looking good because of the demon invasion.
I'm sending you to Limia to assist the hero there.
Why?
You don't need my help.
Why not go there yourself?
I can't simply descend to the mortal world whenever I like.
A goddess has her constraints.
Anyway, the only acceptable answer from you is yes.
She is really getting on my nerves.
I might side with the demons once I'm in Limia.
Are you serious?
You don't have any reason to ally with the demons.
Of course there is.
I hate you, that's why.
Well?
Do you still think I wouldn't betray you?
What a fool.
You're throwing a tantrum like a spoilt child.
I am the very law of this world.
You can either obey me...
or perish right here.
A half-baked threat.
If you could do that,
you would've done it when I battled that dragon slayer.
Your law is not absolute.
You call yourself a goddess?
You're nothing but a flawed being...
who can't even make this twisted world do as you say.
Is that so?
It seems I overestimated you by summoning you here.
Goddess!
Someone wants to see you.
What? Not again!
Can't they read the air here?
I told them I'm not seeing them.
But they are guests from the Original World.
Is that muscle brain barging in?
Misumi!
What now?
I know you have plenty of resentment against me.
Consider this my final intervention.
Huh?
As long as you don't stand against the humans,
I won't intervene with your affairs.
How does that sound?
That's not enough.
I'd still have to carry out...
your unreasonable order to assist the hero.
Are you complaining because you want a reward?
You're asking a lot.
I can say the same thing about you.
Fine.
Time is of the essence.
Name your wish now.
Right now?
I was only messing with her just now,
so I can't really come up with a wish right now.
All right, time's up.
You're asking for a reward before you know what you want.
Very childish of you.
Perish.
In that case,
please give him the blessing to use the Common Tongue.
Shiki?
Yeah.
The language.
I'm so used to brushtalks that I never thought about it.
I don't remember giving you permission to speak, small fry.
Small fry?
However,
can't you speak the Common Tongue, Misumi?
Yeah, all thanks to your curse.
I only let you understand non-human languages.
Now you say you can't speak the Common Tongue?
You're even more incompetent than the demi-humans.
Should you really waste your time on this pointless squabble,
cursed goddess?
There's no need to be mean, jerk.
You're really making me mad.
Never mind.
I can grant you the ability to speak.
Young Master!
Oh my, too much for your little brain?
How strange.
Are you in a lot of pain?
You made the request yourself.
Young Master...
It is done.
Go and help the hero repel the invasion.
Let's see...
Retake Fort Stellar while you're at it.
Die if you can't pull it off.
Nope, you will get it done even if it means dying.
Protect the hero and retake Fort Stellar.
Is that all?
Correct.
Be ready to face the consequences if you break your promise to a goddess.
Young Master!
What is going on?
Probably an express ride to Limia's capital.
How can you be so calm?
This is my third gig.
Most things in the amusement park don't even excite me anymore.
Well then...
I'll handle the landing.
Shiki, can you hide us with a shroud of darkness?
I... I can do it.
Still, she seemed pretty anxious.
Since she's got her hands full, now is a great chance to act.
Tomoe, Mio, can you read me?
Young Master, are you all right?
It must be that goddess again.
What did she do to you this time?
I'm all right.
I'm right above Limia as we speak.
I need you to do something for me.
It must be something important.
Yes.
Tomoe, Mio,
and all the highland Orcs and Mistio Lizards with enough combat training in the Subspace,
anyone who wishes to join the fight shall mobilize...
and retake Kaleneon.
Tell Ms. Eva and the rest to commence the operation.
Also,
it would be better to assign a substitute for me in the academy.
I leave the rest to you.
See you.
Mio, I'm all hyped up.
Yes. I'm shivering in excitement.
The Subspace can finally welcome all four seasons.
Yes.
But that doesn't matter right now.
For the first time ever,
the Young Master has ordered us to fight for his goal.
Yes.
I didn't know I'd be so thrilled to have him counting on us.
We should share this wonderful news with everyone.
After all, we are all his people.
Everyone, this is a battle against the demons!
The citizens of the Subspace are going to battle for the first time.
Highland Orcs and Mistio Lizards...
The Young Master wants you to join the fight.
This is a great chance for you...
to show us the strength you've acquired in the Subspace.
Show no mercy.
Fight to your heart's content!
You've trained hard in the Subspace.
You've earned the Young Master's recognition.
Do not fail either of them!
Show them your true might!
This is the first battle dedicated to the Young Master.
Everyone who stands in our path shall be crushed with our noble spirit!
I'm not good at detection spells,
but now is not the time to complain.
DEMON TERRITORY, KALENEON Very thorough.
The enemies' number,
where their fighters are gathered,
we can see everything from here.
I've had enough of this.
I'm going ahead.
Mio is in charge of taking the fort from inside.
I'll keep the Subspace portal open.
As for the rest of you,
I'm unsure if I can show any mercy tonight.
Make sure to keep your distance from me.
Everybody,
are you ready?
There are around 2,000 demon soldiers stationed in this fortress.
There are only a few hundred of us.
If Lady Tomoe can teleport us into the fortress,
we won't have to break through the gate.
However, that tactic is simply too plain and boring.
We must present the Young Master with a perfect victory.
I believe all of you standing here today can do it.
Well then, onward!
Hey, wake up.
Shift change.
At last...
Are you kidding me?
A raid!
We're being raided?
Archers, go!
Don't they know this fortress is controlled by the demons?
Stay away!
Release the arrows!
Arsi-Alu-Di!
A magic barrier that big?
Agares!
Here I go!
Baldi-Ol-Ran!
Deploy the shields!
Take down that orc!
Don't underestimate the Subspace Orcs!
Hold the gate!
Do not let them break through!
Troops of demi-humans?
Hold them off!
Get rid of them!
Cursed beast!
What did you say?
Don't underestimate us because we're outnumbered.
Show me your true power.
If you're simply too weak, we can't unleash our full power.
No!
Welcome to Mirage Town.
The Young Master built this.
He owns this place.
Do you know why we brought you here?
It's because...
...we asked Mr. Kuzunoha to retake our homeland, Kaleneon.
In return, we agree to give everything the Aensland family has.
Listen up.
You are the heroes of Kaleneon...
who fought the demons and chased them away.
Kaleneon never perished.
All the noble families are gone except the Aensland family.
But with the help of the Kuzunoha Company,
you manage to declare independence from the demons.
It's a nation of miracle.
That's the Young Master's plan.
Therefore, you need the strength to rebuild your nation.
Rebuilding the nation?
But how?
Starting now,
you are required to learn about...
civil engineering and agriculture needed to rebuild a city.
Please learn the necessary knowledge here and share it with your people.
Of course, the demi-humans will assist you.
But only temporarily.
Oh my, I hit the jackpot.
Who are you, woman?
I am Mio. Who are you?
A soldier who serves the Demon King.
Is there anything else you want to know?
Yes.
I can't tell who I've killed without knowing the name.
My name is Reft.
A hybrid dragon.
Reft, the Mutant Dragon.
A mutant among the dragon kind?
I thought you were a snake.
Mio, isn't it?
It seems you're here to seize the fortress.
Who are you?
We are the people of Kaleneon.
You claim to be a soldier of the perished kingdom?
No.
Kaleneon never perished.
It has always been here.
Nonsense.
The demons rule the land north of Fort Stellar.
It's the very reason why we came here.
Even if there is an unknown kingdom here,
the humans can't deny its existence.
What?
I'm just saying.
Truth be told, I don't really understand the details.
But I am going to slay you...
and return this land to the Young Master.
It's all I care about.
You are due for some interrogation.
I wasn't expecting to fight someone like you
before battling the heroes.
We can see the city burning.
That is Limia's capital...
...Wul.
Gritonia is likely having the same situation.
I know.
We are finally meeting.
Are the two heroes from another world...
...in this city?
