This is how I'll become...
...Supreme Commander.
... a hero.
This is my story!
Caretaker
Yuuki
Wakura
Perfect! Squeaky clean!
Curiosity, Shushu, Undress
A job well done truly is its own reward!
Too bad about the location.
It's not exactly pleasant...
The barrier!
I-I guess the Shuuki can show up
close to the dorm, too...
Are you okay, Mr. Yuuki?
H-hello, Nei. Welcome home.
The 7th Squadron is in Mato's
unlucky southwest Urakimon area.
That's why more Shuuki appear here
than at the other dorms.
"Urakimon"?
So, Mato is an alternate dimension
that's as big as the city of Tokyo.

It's divided up into eight different directions,
and each one has its own
Demon Defense Force stationed there.
We skip over "four" since it's a bad omen.
I see...
You're a lifesaver, Nei.
I'm still completely clueless
when it comes to Mato.
Nei's your senpai. It's her job to teach you!
Not sure I'll ever get used to a child
having seniority over me...
By the way, should we do something about that?
That one's just a small fry.
I think we can safely ignore it.
But-
Hey!
Chit-chatting instead of working,
Yuuki Wakura?
What if you'd hit one of us with that?!
Don't underestimate my skills.
If I wanted to hit you,
you'd have a bullet in your skull.
You're missing the point here...
Now run along and go get dinner ready.
Yeah, yeah...
What's with the attitude?!
You ought to be grateful!
The only reason a man like you
has the privilege of living in our dorm
and eating our food...
is because of the commander's generosity!
Being a caretaker sucks!
Let's go.
Is someone...?
Must be my imagination.
You really are a talented chef, Mr. Caretaker!
D'aww!
I'm not a picky eater, but I am glad
we're all getting nutritionally balanced meals.
I'll have seconds... I suppose...
Can you teach Nei how to cook, too?
Keep up the good work
when you do the dishes and clean the tub.
Same goes for cleaning
the spare rooms and the watchtower.
Got it!
Wait a second!
I wanted to be a hero!
Now I'm just a frickin' handyman!
Um, Miss Kyouka?
We had discussed
me assisting you out in the field,
but I feel like doing chores
is my main responsibility nowadays.
I'll use you when you're needed.
Until that time comes, you're free to
concentrate on your housekeeping tasks.
No, I-
I know you're not stupid enough to
complain about the commander's orders. Right?
Her arm turns into a sword, too?!
This is an all-girls dorm.
I have no doubt that some of you
are uncomfortable with a male caretaker.
But he's a skilled housekeeper,
and he's essential for my ability.
So please, try to treat him kindly.
If...
he misbehaves or screws up,
I'll do my duty as his master and twist it off.
Is that acceptable?
Yes, ma'am.
Twist WHAT off...?
Nei!
I'm going to hop in the bath!
Okey-dokey!
Wha-?!
That scared the crap outta me!
You peeked!
I thought I heard Shushu's voice just now...
I'm up here.
So ya finally let your true colors show,
Mr. Caretaker.
Shushu?!
Surprised?
My ability lets me grow AND shrink.
Huh?
Wh-what was that?
I've been keepin'
a close eye on you, Mr. Caretaker.
Y'see, I wanted to know
what makes a man tick.
And looky here!
Picture perfect, amirite?!
I-it's not what it looks like!
I wonder what the commander's going to think...
Think she'll twist it off?
A-are you threatening me?!
What do you want?! Money?!
I just like to keep things interesting!
So if you don't want me to leak this photo...
you'll have to be my slave, Mr. Caretaker.
I already AM a slave...!
Ugh...
'Cause I'm
in love with you
N-no way...
Romance manga
just doesn't do it for me, y'know?
The action-adventure stuff
gets me more amped up.
Don'tcha agree?
Mr. Caretaker?
Sure...
Yeah, I figured as much.
No way...
I mean it...
If I don't delete that photo on her phone,
she's going to bully me
for the rest of my life.
I'm bored.
Now's my chance!
What a naughty slave,
holding something like that.
Huh?
Oh, what's this?
Aw, you're as red as a tomato, Mr. Caretaker.
Y-you did that on purpose!
You're predictable AND funny!
Okay, but... th-those things...
You're fine with me touching them?
Like, as a girl.
I'd be creeped out if ya did somethin' weird,
but I don't really think of you as a guy.
If anything, you're more like...
a neat little pet?
A pet?
Besides, you're our housekeeper!
And that's just another piece of clothing
for you to tidy up, right?
So you're free to touch 'em all ya like!
Then I'll organize these-
I can use that as blackmail material, too!
Quit taking photos of me!
Still, the whole photo thing was an accident.
Even if she rats me out to Miss Kyouka,
maybe I won't get in trouble.
It's coming from outside?
You have to move faster, Himari!
Don't give the enemy a chance to attack!
Yes, ma'am!
The impact won't be strong enough
to slay a Shuuki,
but it's an easy way to throw them off balance!
To be effective, you must always
be swift, brutal, and sharp!
A Shuuki!
Watch closely.
That's how you perform a combo.
And without using your ability!
You're amazing, Commander!
An insta-kill! I'm so screwed...
I can't risk giving Miss Kyouka
the wrong impression!
Oh... Hi, Nei.
I have news for you as your senpai!
I'm all ears.
The commander, Miss Himari, and Nei will be
leaving the dorm to attend a meeting soon,
so keep an eye on things with Miss Shushu
while we're gone, okay?
With Shushu?!
Miss Shushu is a really nice person,
so I think it'll be a good opportunity
for you to get to know her better!
That is NOT the face of a "nice person."
That feels fantastic...
Perfect for soothing my achy
muscles after an intense training session...
Ow-ow-ow... Oh yeah... Right there...
Why am I letting her walk all over me?!
Ow-ow-ow... Oh yeah... Right there...
I've gotta put my foot down once and for all!
Ow-ow-ow... Oh yeah... Right there...
Oof, that's sore!
O-or I could keep it up for a little longer...
Oof, that's sore!
O-or I could keep it up for a little longer...
Hey, how'd you get so good
at shoulder massages?
I used to give them to my big sister,
so I had lots of practice.
So you've got a big sister, too!
What about you, Shushu?
I'm the youngest of three sisters
in my family!
I grew up without a dad,
and I went to all-girls schools my whole life,
so I'd never talked to a guy before.
That's why you thought I was strange?
I was watching your EVERY move.
And then I decided to turn you into my slave
'cause it seemed like fun!
Do you realize how crazy that sounds?!
Maybe so...
But having fun is what matters most,
in my opinion.
It's why I moved to Mato.
I was lookin' for excitement.
That's your reason?
Even though you could die?
Sure! Slayin' Shuuki is a blast!
It's like I'm the protagonist
of an adventure manga!
My shoulders feel so much better...
Now let's play a fighting game!
O-okay...
But you should know...
I'm pretty good at video games.
Then why don't we spice things up?
Loser has to strip off a piece of their clothing.
What?! But...
Obviously, slaves don't have
the right to refuse...
F-fine, bring it on!
I'll beat her and then force her to apologize!
K.O.!
You win!
Too easy, Mr. Caretaker!
But...
my friends won't even let me play as Guile
'cause I always end up kicking their asses.
C'mon, time to get naked.
If I take off my underwear,
I'll be committing a crime...
Nah, we're in Mato...
It's not that big a deal.
I've never seen a guy naked before,
so I gotta admit, I'm kinda curious!
B-but I'm a MAN, remember?!
What if I start feeling frisky?
It's not safe, Shushu...
You could get hurt!
Not safe?
You oughtta trust your gut
when there's danger involved!
THAT'S what you were worried about?!
What a gentleman!
I'll be totally fine.
I'd never let a man take advantage of me.
I forgot about her ability!
YOU'RE the one who's in danger here.
Hey!
Wait a second, you idiot!
No can do!
Now that you're incapacitated...
It's time to accept your punishment
and show me whatcha got under there!
Let's see...
STOP!
OMG, it's so tiny and adorable!
That's hilarious!
That's hilarious! That's hilarious!
That's hilarious!
We're under attack!
And Miss Kyouka and the others
are still gone...
The barrier...!
You wait here, Mr. Caretaker.
Hey!
Guys are too wimpy.
Be good and stay put.
Overpowering us with your size?
Not a bad strategy.
Unfortunately, I'VE got the upper hand.
Have a taste of my Peach ability...
PARADIGM
SHIFT
Paradigm Shift!
She's huge!
Milk
Life
Is that all ya got?
Take this!
Wha-?!
And... whoosh!
Bam!
Followed by...
another kick!
That was awesome!
Man, turning into a giant sure is exhausting...
Shushu, behind you!
Huh?
So there was another one hiding nearby...
Sneaky...
Always keepin' me on my toes!
If I don't finish this quick,
things could get hairy...
Paradigm Shift!
Huh?
What?
Oh crap!
Shushu!
It looks like she's in real trouble!
I want to transform,
but without Miss Kyouka, it's impossible!
There must be SOMETHING I can do to help!
I transformed when my lips touched
Miss Kyouka's hand...
So by that logic...
if I kiss something that belongs to her,
I should be able to transform, right?!
Can't do it.
But I'm on the right track!
I need something
that provokes a stronger reaction!
Please forgive me!
It worked for a second there!
If her shirt does a better job...
Oh god, what does this say
about me as a person?
There's no time to be indecisive!
I want to be a hero!
I have to ACT!
And if licking her boots
makes my dream come true, then I'm in!
Eat this!
Maybe I got carried away,
whipping out the jumbo size like that.
Bad habit of mine...
Probably going to shrink back to normal soon.
Y-you only transformed halfway?!
That's a first!
Still, I've gotta try!
Hold it still!
C'mere!
TAKE THIS!
Whoa...
I... did it...
Too late... I'm out of time.
My body... won't move...
Huh?
Oof!
H-hold on, this isn't...!
Y-you saved my life, but...!
I can't... I'm stuck!
Forcing a transformation?
That's a little over the top.
I did it 'cause of what you said.
"Guys are too wimpy. Be good and stay put."
I wanted to prove you wrong.
OH MY GOD!
I was naked when I transformed!
Th-this isn't what it looks like!
He gets excited whenever I transform!
Calm down! This isn't the time!
Please, I'm begging you!
I-it's... kinda impressive...
Ouch, ow-ow-ow!
Miss Kyouka, please be gentle with me!
Just lie still.
Out of commission
after a few minutes in combat?
How pitiful.
Oh, shut up!
Um, shouldn't we fix the cracks
in the barrier around the dorm?
No need to worry.
The barriers protecting important locations
such as our dormitory and the groves where
Peaches grow have special properties.
So long as the damage is minor,
it will repair itself before long.
Oh, it was the same then, too...
But more importantly...
quit squirming!
Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!
Th-this is the reward I get
for forcing myself to transform?!
Shushu, no more slaying Shuuki for kicks.
Underestimating your opponent
is how you end up in a body bag.
Yes, ma'am. I should've known better.
You can thank Yuuki by assisting him
with his household duties.
Understood.
Ouch...
Hey! What are you doing?!
Asserting dominance as your master.
You've got me even more curious about guys
than I was before!
So let's keep our arrangement.
How'd you get the perfect photo?!
Welp, till next time, Mr. Caretaker!
W-wait!
She's got too many
incriminating photos of me now...
I can't talk my way out anymore...
Will I ever be free?!
I won't give you up, Yukki...
Go ahead without me!
Inform the commander ASAP!
Roger that!
That's no ordinary Shuuki-
Yuna! Kaoru!
No, don't eat her.
I knew I felt it...
Uh-huh, I'm positive!
I'd know his presence anywhere!
Yuuki's somewhere in Mato...
So I'd better go pay him a visit!
TEACH US! NEI-SENPAI!
"Teach Us! Nei-senpai!"
Okey-dokey!
PARADIGM SHIFT
Let's talk about Miss Shushu's
Peach ability: Paradigm Shift!
With this ability,
she can alter the size of her body at will.
But not just her body.
She can also change the size
of the clothes she's wearing,
or even simple objects, simultaneously!
That must come in handy
when moving to a new house!
By the way, the Demon Defense Force's dorm
has its own Wi-Fi.
Miss Shushu spends a lot of time
playing online multiplayer games in her room.
She lets Nei join in sometimes, too!
Anyways, next time:
ENCOUNTER,
KYOUKA,
RAMPAGE
"Encounter, Kyouka, Rampage"
Thanks for watching!
