03x07 - Phase Four

[bunniefuu]

Representatives of the graduating students,
Liniana Dedoldia.

And Pursena Adoldia.

Step forward to receive your diplomas

and your proof as D-rank members
of the Magic Guild.

MUSHOKU TENSEI: JOBLESS
REINCARNATION SEASON 3

I was surprised to see both of you attend
Linia and Pursena's graduation ceremony.

A lot has happened between us,
but they look up to you.

In that case, I can't keep harboring
hostility toward them forever.

To be honest, I barely interacted
with those crude beasts.

But as fellow special students,

I think of them as classmates
who studied hard alongside us.

That's why I wanted to give them
a proper send-off.

When I first enrolled,

there was a kind of awkward tension
among the special students.

But they've changed.

Nanahoshi, I'm coming in.

Come in.

Did you catch a cold again?

It seems so.

For the last year, Nanahoshi had
been getting sick frequently.

Whether it was a dry cough or a fever.

I helped her with Detoxification
whenever it happened,

but she got sick again right away.

Detoxification can't help you
if your body isn't healthy, you know?

At least rest your body until
you're completely recovered.

The research is making progress right now,

so I can't afford to rest.

Her research is surely progressing.

Now we are on phase three.

We are able to summon a living thing,
like a plant or animal.

I'm sure we can bring vegetables from
our original world into this world soon.

Steady progress, indeed.

Okay, let's begin the research.

Come in.

Purrdon me.

I'm coming in.

Boss, we've been looking for you, meow.

We need to talk.

Something seems a bit
different about them.

Another duel, I guess?

Maybe they're thinking, "We can't
return before we win!" like that?

Boss, purrease.

Come with us.

Oh well, I'll accompany them
for the last time.

Okay.

Sorry, Nanahoshi.
I'll go with them for a bit.

I made the reservation first here!

What about our experiments then?

You come too, meow.

This is a special invitation.

Yeah, we allowed it!
So be thankful, meow!

W-Wait! I'm busy here!

Let's do it here.

This place really takes mew back.

This is the place where Zanoba and I
kidnapped them some time ago.

It was also the place where
I'd fought them for the first time,

a place full of memories.

Master, do they want to
ask for a rematch?

Maybe so.

We want Boss and all of you
to watch us, meow.

What are you going to do?

Linia and I are going to decide
which of us is stronger.

But why?

The one who wins will be the next
chief of the Doldia tribe, meow.

Aren't the Dedoldia and Adoldia
two different tribes?

Can't you be the chief
for your own tribe?

We were purranning to do that at first.

Until we blew every suitor during
our mating season, meow.

In the end, there's no man who's
stronger than us among them.

So we decided the strongest
among us will be the chief.

The loser will live
the way she wants.

There's more in this life
than being a chief.

No hard feelings, meow.

What kind of logic is that?

Okay.

Fight as much as you like.

Are you sure you're going
to help them fight?

Whether I'm watching or not,
they're going to fight anyway.

We appurreciate it.

Thanks.

I think they are evenly matched.

But just in case of them overdoing it,
someone needs to watch.

I wasn't going to make a big deal,
but this is a duel, not a fight.

A duel to settle things.

What is about to begin is
a serious fight between beasts.

Pursena, there's something I've been
wanting to tell you for a while.

The truth is,
I can't stand you at all, meow!

That's my line!

You used to be like my little sister
back when you were a little!

And now you're acting so c*ck!

Heh! You're the one who was
the little sister!

Remember that time I covered for you
when you wet the bed at 4 years old?!

You said an Adoldia never forgets a favor
even for a hundred years? Nonsense!

I paid you back when I pulled you
out of the river!

You ungrateful girl, you'll never
find a man in your whole life!

That's because you beat
the suitors away!

Pursena, you doofus!

Linia, you idiot!

Fatty Pursena!

I'm not fat!

Oh my! Pursena charges fiercely forward!
But Linia evades it cleanly!

Pursena got the power,
but Linia's a little faster!

And now an exploding
right straight from Pursena!

Linia is staggering back!
And Pursena won't let her recover!

What now, Linia?

Will you run?
Or will you keep fighting?

She's staying in the fight!

Linia pulls a left jab!
And another jab!

Pursena's taking some hits here!

But Linia is going with her right jab
as Pursena steps forward!

Oh my!
Pursena's uniform is ripped off!

This can't be broadcast!

What do you think, Mr. Zanoba?

Now Pursena is going for it!

Pursena's punch broke
the momentum of Linia's footwork!

She is like a butterfly with
its wings torn off!

Is she going to be trampled down
by the coming champion?!

But then, Linia is back on her feet!

She pushes him back down to the ground!

But Pursena has fangs too!

She bites back!

What a hideous fight.

This is like two brats fighting.

Yes, it definitely seems like that.

Hey, if they're both serious,
why are you making it into a joke?

Sorry.

I won.

It was an awesome sight.

A triumphant sight.

A sight of a winner that just
surpassed her ordeal.

It's my win.

Yeah, congratulations.

I'll heal you up.

Thank you, but there's no need.

These are scars of honor.

I don't know if I'll ever see Linia again,
so I'll keep these scars.

But you're going to be with her
until you leave the city, right?

We're going our separate ways now.

I've already packed my stuff,
so I just have to pick those up and leave.

They must have agreed
on this beforehand.

This is when they go their separate ways,
and where they're parting from each other.

Somehow it's cool.

Make sure to treat the scars,
even if it's not by healing magic.

Yeah, I know.

Boss, goodbye.

They have their own good points.

Now then...

Are you alive?

I am, meow.

Your pretty face is ruined, you know?

That's true, meow.

Thank you.

I lost, meow.

That was a good fight.

I heard all your comments, Boss.

Sounded like you were
enjoying yourself, meow.

Yeah, I failed to read the room there.

But that fight makes me excited.

Oh well, meow.
It's fine if you were enjoying it.

I'm sure it just looked like a brawl
from the sidelines.

Having fun is what life's about.

You don't want me to cast
healing magic on you, too?

To be honest, I want to erase
the scars of my defeat.

I guess I'll make an exception furr these.

Maybe I'll be able to brag
about them in the future.

Scar of honor, is it?

I don't know about
beastfolk's fight, but...

That fight completely captured my eyes.

Never thought you'd purraise me.

You look a lot different than when
you two kidnapped us back then.

I'm sorry about the doll
back then, meow.

About that, Master has forgiven you.

I don't have any hostility toward you.

What are you planning to do now?

Maybe I'll travel around for a while,
and then start up a business?

Starting a business?
I got a bad feeling about this.

Do you have a detailed plan
about that?

Of course I do, meow!

Maybe she'd be okay
if she already had a vision?

No, I really got a bad feeling about this.

A feeling that she is going to make
a blunder and get in deep trouble.

In my purran,
I'll be rich in five years.

Well, you can come to me
if you are in trouble, okay?

I'll help you too if you need it.

If I succeed,
I will lend you meowney!

It seems like they don't want
to see each other again.

Even though they were really close.

Still, I couldn't help but admire
their resolve and determination.

The next day,
- I thought we agreed

some people saw two beastfolk women
- we'd never see each other again?!

some people saw two beastfolk women
- You are the one who followed me here!

covered in bandages arguing in a carriage.
- You are the one who followed me here!

covered in bandages arguing in a carriage.
- Enough with your spoiled behavior!

covered in bandages arguing in a carriage.
- You're the one always clinging to me!

I happened to hear that rumor.
- You're the one always clinging to me!

I happened to hear that rumor.
- Get off the carriage, meow!

No way!

I'm sure
- You get off!

they didn't check the schedule
- Pursena, you get off, meow!

and ended up in the same carriage.
- No, you get off!

and ended up in the same carriage.
- No, you!

and ended up in the same carriage.
- You get off!

So much for their cool way of parting.
- No, you!

So much for their cool way of parting.
- You get off!

So much for their cool way of parting.
- No, you!

All right, let's begin.

Okay, I'll give it the mana.

This thing is really greedy for mana.

I'm not sure anyone other than me
could have used it.

It really takes time.

Maybe we should speed it up?

Shhh.

I have seen these flashes of light before.

These are the lights right before
the Teleport Incident.

Should I stop now?

If it causes the teleportation,
everyone here will...

No.

We've done all the experiments
to make sure that won't happen.

Everything is going to be okay!
This is going to work!

It worked.

Yes!

Congratulations, Master!

Well done!

I must say, this looks ominous.

Would it be okay to hold this thing?

Sure, but don't drop it.
It's actually easy to break.

Nanahoshi, that watermelon
belongs to that world, right?

Since that doesn't exist in this world.

Maybe.

We still can't choose what we summon.

I was actually trying to summon
a cabbage this time.

It's surprisingly filling and heavy.
- This world does have

That's because most of it is water.
- a vegetable similar to cabbage.

It's sweet and delicious, you know.
- But the question is, can we tell them apart?

Even with an ominous look?
- But the question is, can we tell them apart?

Now that you mention it,
- Maybe summoning a vegetable had been

it doesn't look that appetizing.
- Maybe summoning a vegetable had been

But that's just the skin.
- a flawed experiment from the start.

The inside is actually just like fruit.
- a flawed experiment from the start.

I'll open that for you all later,
so look forward to it.

No, it's fine.

We summoned a watermelon
even though we wanted vegetables.

We can call this a success.

Okay, given that this is a success,
let's celebrate tonight.

Yeah, sounds good.

Cheers!

It had become a tradition
to throw a party

whenever someone has
something to celebrate.

But there's no more Linia and Pursena.

Instead, Roxy and Norn joined in.

Badigadi isn't here anymore, either.
The parties had gotten a bit less lively.

However, that couldn't stop us
from enjoying ourselves.

That said, it's my first time seeing
Nanahoshi that cheerful.

Here is your filling, Rudy.

Thank you.
Are you not drinking tonight?

I become weird if I drink, you know?

I was thinking of stopping drinking.

I see.

We're not staying out tonight, okay?

I want to put Lucy to bed, you hear?

I understand.

It's a shame. Sylphie was really cute
when she got drunk.

Rudy, please move the chair a little.

Roxy, are you drunk?

Just a bit.

Do that to me later too, okay?

Of course, ma'am.

In fact, I want Sylphie to sit on
my right leg and Roxy on my left.

Brother.

Sorry, Norn.
Must be embarrassing for you.

No, I'm fine.

Actually, I want to discuss something.
Is that okay?

Sure, what is it?

It's about the Student Council.

About that, huh?

Right, I saw Norn with the Student Council
during the graduation ceremony.

Senior Ariel invited me to join.

She knows my grades
aren't that good,

but she said I have natural charisma,
so she wanted me to join.

I see.

Indeed, Norn has a lot of fans
in this University.

Did you know, Sylphie?

Yes.

So she already knew.

Don't tell me, Roxy too?

I was the only one who didn't know.

Sorry, Norn said she wanted
to tell you herself.

Is that so?

Uh, Brother...

Would it be okay if I joined
the Student Council officially?

Of course...

Wait, Norn has sword training with me
and is also writing a storybook.

Can she keep it up if she adds
Student Council's work to her schedule?

Norn.

Yes?

I'm not against you joining
the Student Council.

I'm asking you,
can you manage all your tasks?

I'm sure the lessons will be
tougher as a third-year.

I'm going to do my best with
the book, training, and the lessons.

Talking is easy, but...

Rudy.

Norn is doing well so far.

She has been helping
the Student Council for a year now.

Huh? So she has been doing it since
we started the sword training, then?

She's going to be okay.
I'll vouch for her.

I see. She's already doing that,
so that's why she's asking.

Then, there's no reason to oppose it.

It seems you've been working hard.

I don't think you needed my permission
in the first place, but I allow it.

Thank you so much!

Attention please!

Let's split the watermelon!

In the end, it was up to her effort.

Even Nanahoshi could produce this result
because she's been working hard.

It's the same with Linia and Pursena.

However, the people around them have
the duty to support and cheer them on.

Even I can be here because I have
the support from everyone around me.

So I'll support them as much
as I can, too.

Good work for today.

Are you okay?

Want me to cast Detoxification?

Sylphie did that a while ago.
I think it's still okay.

Anyway, you helped me again.

Now we can move on to the next phase.

Phase four is to summon a living thing
that meets the criteria, right?

That's right.

And I'm planning to ask someone
who's very knowledgeable about this.

The one who has authority on
summoning she mentioned before?

It's not Orsted, is it?

Of course not.

On that note,
I have a proposal for you.

I haven't given you a reward for
the experiment before, right?

Oh, back then I was very busy
and couldn't go to meet you.

I was thinking of introducing him to you
as a combined reward for both phases.

Introducing him to me?

But if you count this as two rewards,
is this guy really that incredible?

Yes, and he might be able to do something
about your mother's memory loss.

W-What?

Is that true?

Though I can't say for sure.

He's been alive for a very long time,
so there's a good chance.

Zenith is recovering well by now.

Still, it is hard to tell if her memories
are ever going to return or not.

Even if he can't heal her,

he might know about
something similar to her case.

That itself is worth trying.

I'm sure you have your reason
why you couldn't tell me this sooner.

Yes. I'm sorry, but I have
my own circumstances, too.

Is this about Nanahoshi's master?

If you're going to introduce him,
I'd also like to meet him.

Well, you two did help too.
I suppose it's okay.

Excuse me, I'm a bit interested.

Is it okay to go with this many people?
Won't we be a nuisance?

Don't worry about that.

He said he can accommodate
up to twelve guests.

But it's going to take time
to meet him, right?

Not really, it won't take a day.

Huh? He's your neighbor?

Do you meet him sometimes?

He's not, and I haven't seen him
in some time, but there's a way.

Is that so?

Then, what's his name?

I'd like you all to keep this a secret,
is that okay?

Perugius, the Armored Dragon King.

Perugius, the Armored Dragon King.

One of the three Demon Godslayers,
the hero who guided humanity to victory

in the Laplace w*r 400 years ago.
