01x04 - I Gave the Hero a Lecture

[bunniefuu]

Ah I wanna see Cecilia

Captain! Let's get going

to Celia's mansion!

Cecilia's not there. I'll pass.

What?!

I haven't seen her in a whole week now.

From what she said, everyone in

the hero's party is pretty busy.

Cecilia goes to different towns and

villages to heal their wounded

Raven is the captain of the knights

Mikana is a palace mage

and Yuga does diplomatic work as well

as dealing with high-rank monsters.

They're all scattered all the time.

I bet they don't get many chances to talk.

And this is all because of me.

I wish I could do something for them.

This is boring! I'm bored!

Man, if only Duke was here

Look, you

I can't believe he joined the knights

after their captain scouted him.

Come in.

Hi.

Hey, Happy!

Oh, hey. What's up?

Message from milady.

"I'll be at home this afternoon,"

she says.

Really?!

I'll finally get my chance

to give her the necklace!

What should I do until the afternoon?

Shiek went ahead to the

mansion with Happiness, so

You there.

You are doomed to have

terrible luck today.

I'm not falling for that nonsense.

I get to see the girl I love.

It's obviously gonna be an awesome day!

Welcome!

Where's the lady who's usually here?

My sister had other stuff to do,

so I'm looking after the store today!

R-Really?

Then I'll take these. They're a gift.

Thank you very much!

Come again!

Please hurry back, little sister.

Hey, they're all crushed!

Don't put so much muscle

into packing cakes.

They still taste good, though.

I'm sorry.

Whoa, close call!

Maybe today really is my unlucky day

Whoa!

My skewer!

Hey, c'mon, don't cry.

Thank you.

Here. I even got you an extra.

Watch where you walk from now on, okay?

Okay!

Thank you, mister!

Sheesh.

Oops!

Now I get pickpocketed?!

He won't get away!

Man, I can't believe I got pickpocketed.

A robbery in broad daylight?

Return the wallet you stole from him!

Yuga!

Actually, this is my wallet

Liar!

My money!

Halt!

Hang on!

Just listen to me!

Give up and confess your crime already.

My luck really is awful today

This sucks.

Were you starting to miss

your shut-in lifestyle?

Duke!

Captain, what did you do?

Did you turn delinquent because Cecilia

wouldn't give you the time of day?

No, I did not!

Relax. I know.

Raven's verifying the facts right

now. Just hang in there a bit longer.

What a relief.

Hey, you should be

calling Raven "Captain."

You're a knight now.

You're my only captain, Captain.

Oh, come on

I call him "Captain" in public,

so it's not a problem.

Pardon me.

Irene.

Duke, you need to return to your training.

The vice captain is angry with

you for leaving on your own.

Her ears Is she an elf?

Forget about that. Give me the key.

The captain did his

interrogation, didn't he?

That should've cleared this guy's name.

Yes, Yoki is innocent.

Yes!

And the hero says he'd

like to apologize to you.

Wha?

I caused you all that trouble.

Let me make it up to you!

Go on! Eat all you like!

Yow! You're blinding me!

Thanks for treating.

The food here is great, isn't it?

So I hear you're friends with Raven?

Huh?

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DID!

He's never scolded me this much before.

I didn't notice before,

but you're the guy who was with

Cecilia the other day, right?

Yeah.

What's your relationship with her?

Huh? We're just friends. Why?

Oh

So you managed to become

friends with Cecilia

Please! Could you give me some advice?

I just want to know how I can

get on better terms with her.

I'm your rival in love, you know!

Sorry, but I only met Cecilia recently.

Maybe you should ask someone

who's known her longer?

NOT ME.

Raven, you don't need to

worry about your voice.

Discover some tact, hero!

HOW ABOUT MIKANA?

I can't ask Mikana.

I think she hates Cecilia.

Did Mikana say that herself?

You might not believe this,

but Mikana tried to leave Cecilia

behind in a certain battle we fought.

Thankfully, Cecilia was fine in the end,

but it's too cruel. Even

if she does hate her

Wait.

Huh?

Are you serious about that?

It wasn't Mikana who abandoned Cecilia.

What would you know?!

You weren't even there!

You're right. I heard

the story from Mikana.

She wasn't the one who said

to leave Cecilia behind.

It was a powerful demon you'd fought

countless times, but you kept losing.

Yes, but I tried to refuse,

and Mikana said we should

take him up on the deal!

She couldn't have done that

if she didn't hate Cecilia.

She left her because she hated her?

Mikana was crying when she said that!

She felt that guilty about it!

What? Mikana cried?

But she's the one who told me to agree!

It was all her fault!

Get real!

Remember what happened that day!

When Cecilia told you to go ahead,

it was you who made the final decision!

Did Mikana tell you that, too?

Why does that matter?

Is what I just said wrong?

It's true, but it's not what

you think! Please understand!

I wasn't the one who abandoned Cecilia!

I couldn't!

I could never

You're the hero, aren't you?

Don't dump the blame on your allies.

Face up to your own actions.

If you can't do that

that's a really bad look for you.

I-I'm sorry! I went too far!

Just calm down, okay?

I'm sorry I lost my composure.

I've known Mikana since we were kids.

She's a really hard worker.

Whenever I screw up, she

scolds me until I learn.

She's always been with me, supporting me.

Even after I was chosen as the

hero, she never stopped.

And yet the way I treated

her was horrible.

What can I do?

Just let her scold you like always.

People who scold you

do it because they care about you.

So let her scold you for this, too.

If that doesn't work well, you'll

have to think of something else.

Okay. I'll apologize to her.

Thanks, Yoki!

This guy's almost too honest.

THIS IS JUST HOW HE IS.

Or maybe he's just childish.

Well, Yoki, Raven

I'm gonna go see Mikana!

Good! Go get 'er!

But I don't trust myself to go alone.

Come with me!

Huh?!

This is Mikana's house.

Damn it, don't drag me

around against my will.

But, I mean I didn't have

the courage to do it alone.

You can just wait for me outside.

Okay, fine.

GET GOING.

Thanks! I'm going now!

I'll be keeping Cecilia waiting a bit,

but if this will fix the rift

in the hero's party, then

Mikana!

NOTHING NEW HERE.

I forgot about his Lucky Pervert power!

Please don't say anything!

Just hear me out!

What?!

I realized that I did

something awful to you!

You're doing something

awful to me right now!

I always

Listen to me!

cause trouble for you.

I even blamed you for my

decision to sacrifice Cecilia,

and that hurt you.

I'm so sorry!

Yuga

I know apologizing won't fix it,

but if you'll forgive me, then

I want you to continue

scolding me like always!

You barge in here and pin

me down while I'm changing,

and you tell me you want me to scold you?

Have you developed masochist inclinations?

Huh? It's not like that, Mikana!

I just came to apologize for

I'll scold you whether

you tell me to or not!

Yuga, you stupid pervert!

Raven, you can take it from here.

I have to hurry to the mansion!

Oh, it's you, young man.

Oh, I don't believe in

fortunes, so bye!

His fortune has changed.

He must have done lots of good deeds.

You there!

You bought some cakes

from us earlier, right?

Yes, I did

I'm sorry. Were the cakes

my brother sold you crushed?

Oh, yeah

But they still tasted good, so it's fine.

Please take these cakes as an apology.

Are you sure?

What now?

It was you, was it not?

I humbly apologize for the trouble

our young master caused you.

Young master?

Oh, the kid with the skewer!

He ran off to play the moment

I took my eyes off him.

Please accept this as an apology.

Excuse me

You're late.

I went through a lot today, okay?!

Yoki, it's good to see you again.

Yeah, it feels like it's been

a month since I last saw you

Go on, have a seat.

Oh, this is for you.

Cakes and skewers?

What an odd combination.

I got them both for free.

Well, since we have them,

I'll put some tea on.

Isn't that kind of thing your maid's job?

I had Sophia teach me how to do it.

I can cook about as well

as anyone else, too!

Really?

I keep falling for her more and more!

Happiness and Raven are friends now?

Yeah, and that led to

all this other stuff

I know Mikana and Yuga now, too.

I hope things work out

between all of them.

Um

Cecilia!

Stop it, Yuga!

Cecilia!

I've realized my mistake!

So would you please scold m—

That's not what we're here for, you idiot!

Ow!

What are you doing here?!

What? Yoki?

Sorry for interrupting.

We came here to apologize to you.

Huh?

I'll just come out and say it.

I'm sorry.

Um

Anything I say will just

sound like an excuse.

I left you behind.

You're talking about

what happened back then?

It's not your fault, Mikana.

We were all just spineless cowards.

That's why we left you alone

with that terrifying demon.

If that's what you're worried

about, it's all right.

But we abandoned you! Our teammate!

I'm not the only one whose

life was on the line.

Fighting the Demon King without a healer

must have been a terrible struggle.

How?! How can humans be so powerful?!

Holy Sword Excalibur!

We did it! We defeated the Demon King!

Please be alive!

Mikana!

You won, then?

Cecilia! You're okay!

Mikana! I'll heal you right away!

Your strength and magic were both drained,

but you still came running to check on me.

The hero and Raven, too.

At the time, there was no other way.

Mikana, you did nothing wrong.

We're all alive, aren't we?

Thanks, um Cecilia.

I really am sorry.

I'M SO SORRY.

This is the kind of thing

you should say out loud!

Huh?

You were the one who gave

them advice, weren't you?

You could tell, huh?

It seemed like things got awkward

between you all because of me,

so I just y'know.

Thank you.

For what?

I'm really happy.

You've grown close with

my family and friends,

and you seem to be

fitting into this world.

Um, um

Here. For you.

This is

Yeah. The one we saw that day

when we went out together.

Will you accept it?

Yes. I'll treasure it!

Thank you, Cecilia!

What?! I'm the one who just got a gift!

I'm so relieved!

Thank you!

I feel like everything has been

so much fun since I met Yoki.

Run! Run away!

Run! Run!

Hand over everything ya

got that's worth money!

A-All right.

Just, please, spare the

lives of the villagers

Sure, but the women and

children are gonna be—

Who the hell are you?!

How dare you do that to our boss?!

Get 'im!

Talk about boring.
