01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

It's remarkable how well they fared
against so many elves.

Sure, but this location has
no strategic value whatsoever.

I agree.

- It is hardly worthy of praise.
- Still, the fact they've diminished

the Empire's forces does help us
in the long run.

We need to consider
how to punish them!

Don't you mean praise them?

They defied Her Majesty!

But they also helped
save the Kingdom!

And you think that makes them heroes?
Because I don't!

Then, are you saying
they're traitors?

Whether they wish to be
friend or foe to our Kingdom

is something they can decide
for themselves.

- Theodore.
- Y... Yes, Your Majesty!

Why are you so high-strung?

Sorry, it's nothing.

I just wasn't expecting you
to call me by name, Your Majesty.

You're one of my most proud
and loyal servants, isn't that right?

Yes! Without a doubt, Your Majesty!

Good.

Then I can trust you
to do something for me.

What do you wanna eat, Nana?

Beef or fish?

Or is that some kinda cannibalism?

But wait, sharks eat fish...

Anything okay. Me hungry.

All right.

They'll be treating us to drinks
before any food, obviously!

That's the standard way
to celebrate a victory, after all.

Don't get your hopes too high.

We broke out of their prison,
remember?

Yeah, but we destroyed the Thinker's
fortress to make up for it.

That's right.
And we restored peace to their land.

Well, I just hope that's enough
to convince them.

I think I've already made it
crystal clear how valuable I am.

Yeah, if you consider
playing with mud valuable!

W-well, not as much as
playing with b*ll*ts.

Hi! Your heroes have returned!

Thanks for waiting
to get the big party started...

What's with the lousy mood in here?

Where's our feast?

It's unbelievable that you came back.

No kidding!
That sh*t wasn't easy, trust me!

You orchestrate a prison break,
throw us all into pointless confusion

and if that wasn't enough

charge into enemy territory
without permission.

How dare you show your faces here!

Does the concept of shame
just not exist in your world?

We were told to come here.

Who even are you, anyways?

Yo. What the hell is going on here?

- This is...
- Silence.

You don't get to speak.

We went and made winning
the friggin' w*r easier for you.

Haven't you heard?

We destroyed
the Thinker's fortress and...

"The Thinker," you say?

Is that one of the generals
from the Empire?

That's right.

He was a thorn in your a*s. And we...

But this "Thinker" person was
originally from your world.

So all you've done is
clean up your own mess.

Isn't that right?

Well...

We also freed all the elves.
Isn't that worth something?

True. That is a significant feat.

But then again,
it was a human from your world

who brainwashed them
in the first place.

That's not our fault.
It was the Empire's...

Don't forget
what happened before that!

You wreaked havoc at the great
prison, freed all the prisoners

and let the enemy seize a fort
that was under your care!

Furthermore, you've shown no efforts
to change your violent behavior

your ridiculous outfits,
or your disrespectful attitudes!

And while I'm at it,
what even are you?

I've never seen a demihuman
like you before.

Do you realize how much commotion
you cause among our people

by just walking around outside?

Nanaue!

So quick to resort to violence!
Nothing but a dumb fish, aren't you?

Okay. I see how it is.

Excuse me?

You were never going to
accept us, were you?

You're like those freakin' loser cops

who catch perps
just to bully them in the joint.

You wench!

That's exactly what I mean!

That attitude of yours is
downright disrespectful!

Especially with all that
silly makeup!

Know your damn place!

Stop it!

C-Come, my sword!

Not so fast.

sh*t!

Are you trying to rip open
his stomach again?

Like you did back at the prison?

Answer me!

Is this how you guys do things
around here?

Huh?

What are you standing around for?
Attack, guards!

Well, damn.

What a pity.

You should have known better than
to harm a subject of my Kingdom.

"A pity"?

That's rich coming from you.

You're the one who made him do it.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Execute them all immediately.

Your Majesty, that's going too far!

Cecil.

Your Majesty!

Fine then.

We'll only execute the demihuman.

In light of your contributions
to the w*r effort

by defeating two enemy generals

the rest of you shall be exiled.

D-Dammit! Screw that!

Back off.

Please wait!

What?

Um...

This wasn't supposed to happen,
I'm really sorry...

Can you quit with the apologies?

"I'm sorry! Please forgive me!"

Hearing that crap from you
just pisses me off even more.

I thought there'd be a big feast.

So did Nana.

Jeez, you didn't even try
to stop her, did you?

And after you guys
practically begged us for help.

Well, uh...

God, I hate you.
All you know how to do is talk.

What was it you said before?

Something about how it feels wrong
to just do what you're told?

Don't make me laugh.

If you're so afraid
of disobeying mommy

then why don't you be
her little puppet forever?

That's honestly preferable.

Because then we wouldn't
have bothered to fight.

Wow!

Sharp aim even when he's drunk!

Yippee!

- We won the bet! It's on the house!
- No way. He actually did it...

Right, barkeep?

Dammit.

Fine, whatever.
Have at 'em, ya b*stards.

Thanks!

Just this once, okay?

I typically only show this trick
on very special occasions.

- Eh?
- Eh?

Trust me,
this will "melt" your hearts...

Dundun Dun Dundun.

Dundun Dun Dundun.

Dundun Dun Dundun.

Dundun Dun Dundun.

Dundun Dun Dundun.

Whoa, crazy!
That's some weird magic.

Wow. Totally bizarre!

What?
You're supposed to be impressed!

It was one of the most
famous movie scenes

in cinema history!

Huh? What's a "movie"?

Oh, right. I forgot
that we're in an Isekai.

What pitiful lives you must lead
without movies to entertain you.

Listen, movies are...

That's more than
enough booze for you.

Don't lump me in with the others!

I never get drunk.

Only assclowns lose all restraint
and drink themselves stupid.

The key is tranquility.

Keep your mind quiet

and it'll open your eyes to the peace
at the bottom of the bottle.

I don't feel so hot...

There we go.

You're still drinking?

No better time to drink
than right now.

What's that?

Oh, this? Pretty cool, huh?

Just something I took
to make a retirement fund.

So you stole it.

C'mon. You better call it quits soon.

Unless you wanna drink yourself
to death.

Wouldn't that be
more convenient for you?

What?

I mean that old hag, your boss,
she's trying to...

to take this world's... um...
whatcha call it...

Resources?

Yeah, that.

She wants to take resources
from this world, right?

And that's why
she wants to end the w*r.

But we failed.
We screwed the whole thing up.

So we're useless now, right?

Why not just blow us up?
Like kablamo.

What are you talking about?

Without the radio signal from
the real world, your bombs are...

Say...

Do you have a lover?

Huh?

Cuz I do. My Puddin'.

And he's the best man in the world,
a real prince charming.

You mean the Joker?

I remember one time...

Puddin' said everybody wants
to find a new world

that's different from this one.

And how they're all screaming

"This isn't who I really am!"
on the inside.

Puddin' is a freakin' genius.

Cuz that's how I'm feeling right now.

Oh! Are you a minstrel?

Tonight is especially vibrant
with life!

Please allow me to join you.

How wonderful!

You know, there was a period of time
when I longed to live like that.

Traveling from place to place

and connecting all sorts of people
through songs like a preacher!

I am most humbled by your kind words.

May I sing you a song?

Why of course!

Let's hear it!

Go ahead! The stage is all yours!

In the open sky above the b*ttlefield

There appeared a large box of metal

Inside of it were warriors
itching for a fight

Heroes from another realm

- Hey, these lyrics... What the?
- Wearing exotic outfits

- Will you stop singing that?
- And equipped with...

Hello, beautiful lady.

You're welcome to leave
your gratuity in...

I said, quit singing.

They aren't damn heroes.

Just a bunch of drunks
who were abandoned and exiled

by their country.

They're criminals!

Uh, pardon me, miss!
The people in this song are...

Are you deaf or what?

She told ya to stop singing.

- Why?
- Huh?

Why weren't any of my personal feats
mentioned in the song?

Is there more? A second verse?

Please sing it!

W-Well, then...

When we say stop, you stop!

Dammit...

Huh?

Don't interrupt him!

Take it outside, you guys!

Nice try, jackass!
You're never gonna hit me!

Not while you're a third-rate hack

who can't get a leading role,
much less be a hero!

Nicely done.

You really know
how to piss people off.

It's no wonder that
your family ditched you.

Son of a b*tch. Now you've done it.

This means w*r!

All the time you spend
playing with g*ns

must have been so revolting to
your wife that it made her leave you!

- b*stard!
- Aw jeez, don't come this way!

Stop it. Please stop.

P-Please help!
Do something to stop them!

You mess with the peace...

and you mess with me!

Bombs away!

Eat this!

Wait...

Oh, is it over? That was fast.

Shut up, cake face.

Your makeup looks like absolute sh*t.

Screw you!

It's way better than
your lame-a*s mask!

Someone messed with the peace.

Who was it?

Huh?

What? Um, no!

I haven't done anything
to mess with the peace!

It wasn't even me who did that!

That's enough, you dipshits!

My head is k*lling me...

Holy crap, seriously?
You guys drank way too much.

This is your mess, too. Don't pretend
you weren't a part of it.

sh*t, that's cold! What the hell?

- Rick, you jackass!
- We're leaving.

- Get ready to go.
- Un-friggin'-believable.

Leave? And go where?

To the Gate.

The Gate?

Okay, cool.

So we're finally going back home
to our world?

Nope.

I mean, after everything
that's happened

they're definitely gonna order us
to go back.

But not without Nanaue.

And I don't know how long
it'll take us to rescue him

so we're going there
to reset the timer on your bombs.

I'm quite sick of this b*mb.

It's the biggest pain
in the a*s imaginable.

Deadshot. Go wake Peacemaker up.

- Uh... okay.
- Just do it quietly.

Huh?

Are you sure about this?
Leaving the little guy behind?

You seemed to love him so much.

Yeah, but they'd probably
dissect him or something

if I took him back with me.

He can already fly freely over here.

And it looks like
he made a friend too.

Fair enough. We're going to get
locked up after we return, anyway.

And it would be too cruel
to make our winged friend tag along.

But my goodness, what a ride.

We truly got the Isekai experience!

Rescuing an old w*r buddy
at the very end

would make a fantastic cl*max, but...

Well, in movie terms

it might be more exciting for
someone to take his place instead.

Don't you friggin' jinx it.

Anyways...

I'm kinda confused.

Why are we rescuing Nanaue?

I figured you were gonna abandon him.

Leaving Nanaue behind would
just cause problems for this world.

Even though he's going
to get ex*cuted, regardless?

I mean, that's what these bombs are
originally for, right?

The bombs should
have been reset now... I think.

Feel anything?

Well...

seems okay.

Good.

Colonel Flag.

- I copy.
- What?

- A radio?
- The timers have been reset.

- You had one this whole time?
- Are you near the Gate?

- Sneaky b*stard...
- Actually, ma'am...

And that's my report.

Frankly, I think
it's impossible for us

to get any help from this world now.

Understood.

You have permission
to return for now.

You are to pass through
the Gate immediately.

But ma'am, Nanaue...

I mean, King Shark is
still in the Kingdom...

I'll handle that problem from my end.

Hey, that's...

- What?
- Are you kidding me? No way!

This isn't good!

- Director...
- I think we're in trouble!

Hey, Rick!

Ma'am!

Director... why'd you do that?

I've determined this mission has
become too difficult to carry out.

I'm going to close the Gate
once you come back.

Make sure you leave no traces behind.

So that's it?

You're just going to k*ll them all?

And once you've squeezed me dry
of all the information that I have

you're going to k*ll me, too?

There's no need for me
to get rid of you.

- But even they have a right...
- Do it!

Go ahead and do it,
you old fat b*tch!

Acting like you're hot sh*t
in that little cave of yours

thinking that you can control
the entire freakin' world!

Enjoy that warped view of reality
until it comes back to bite you in...

Just stop talking!

Get your hands off me, hypocrite!

Hey! Look at that.

I'll be damned.

Please wait, Director!

Ain't that the castle? It's burning.

Smells like w*r.

Director, let us continue
the mission!

There's a battle happening
in the royal capital.

This is our chance
to make a difference!

If we can drive the Empire back

and re-establish a friendly
relationship with the Kingdom

then we can build
a base in this world!

You want
this world's resources, right?

If we succeed,
we can complete the mission!

And if we fail, we're all dead!
It works out either way...

You have 24 hours.

I just set the timer on the bombs
to explode in 24 hours.

Show me the results before then.

Fail to make it in time
and they all die. Which means...

you'll have no place to return to,
Colonel Flag.

What's your deal?

Why'd you save us?

You're bad guys.

Both in our world and in this one.

Well, screw you, too.

But over here,
you're a little on the good side.

At least good enough
to have a song written about you.

You talk like
you're not a bad guy yourself.

Remember that brutal plan
we used against the elves?

I seem to recall you admitting
you were a villain.

No?

What? What's the matter?

Dude... aren't you supposed
to be dead?

I've been standing here
the whole time.

But y-your head...

Oh, that?

Just blowing off a body part or two
isn't enough to k*ll me.

My heart, my brain... I can position
them wherever I desire.

If the b*mb was never a threat to you

then why did you go along
with the mission?

Are you kidding?

You can't very well have a story
without a protagonist, now can you?

Are you guys ready to get serious?

Cuz you've been
pretty lame supervillains so far.

Personally, I'm sick of them.

Both that damn Queen

and the bossy old hag
giving us ridiculous orders.

That's why
I'm gonna stick it to them.

So, hey.

Sorry to interrupt
your big badass speech, but...

Are we gonna make it?

We only have 24 hours.

The royal capital is that teeny-tiny
dot in the distance, right?

Let's hurry!

Two hours ago

I have to do something.

At the very least,
I have to stop the execution!

Is my mother inside?

Yes.

Huh?

What... happened here?

Mother?

Accursed humans...

You'll pay for sabotaging my plans.
