01x10 - Episode 10

[bunniefuu]

Here you go. - My turn!

This is yours.

Come back tomorrow!

Okay. - I'll leave this box here.

Okay, thanks.

Looks like we're breaking
another sales record today.

You bet.

After all this squatting,

my thighs are stronger than ever.

Let me.

Your Majesty, you've been
overexerting yourself every night.

Get some rest during the day.

I'm fine.

It's not...

that heavy.

Don't push yourself.

Look at you.

You're so tired you can
barely get the words out.

Th-thanks.

And you said you could hold your liquor.

With the way alcohol
makes you burp nonstop,

you'd better stay away from it.

You have such presence,

yet you're so approachable!

Just call me Meow when we're out.

That's way too much flattery.

Who knew a casual gesture back then

would inspire such fierce loyalty?

Seriously?

You're not actually buying that, are you?

You're just a kid.

You don't understand
loyalty and brotherhood.

It's almost noon,

and that tycoon still hasn't shown up.

Relationships built on
self-interest are fragile.

Now that we've legitimately carved out

such a big share of his business,

and I've offered to work with him,

why wouldn't he come negotiate?

I didn't expect today
to be more tiring than our usual drills.

Aba,

where have you been all day?

Captain,

I went to inspect public safety
near the District Ten border.

Did you also happen to stop by their stall

and lend them a hand?

No.

I don't mix with merchants like them.

I spent all day yesterday

checking the Central Kitchen's inventory

and found a lot of ingredients missing.

Do you know where they went?

So you were the one

who helped them deal with Xiong.

You know the rules.

There's only one fate for traitors:

death.

Of course,

if you're willing to work undercover,

I can make an exception.

I'm sorry, Captain.

I have a more important mission.

They must be paying you well.

It's not about what they gave me.

It's about how much I owe them.

I'll give you one last
chance to change your mind.

No need!

Good news.

We made over ten thousand today.

Young man,

how do you plan to expand
this public welfare program?

It's already evening.

If he wanted to talk,
he'd have come by now.

Looks like it's not happening today.

That doesn't make sense.

Young man?

Sorry. I got distracted.

How long do we have to
keep selling cheap bread

before we win them over to our side?

And

what do you plan to do

with the money we've made?

Well, well.

So you've been trying to gather followers

and build your own faction.

Looks like I'll meet my
three-day deadline after all.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

But...

why is the Guard Captain coming after us?

Isn't it obvious?

He must've been behind the
attack two days ago too!

Lie, calm down!

Of course I know we need to stay calm.

The last man we k*lled
was a dangerous felon,

so no one cared.

But he's the Guard Captain.

If anything happens to him,

it'll alert all of District Nine

and maybe even that impostor.

But I'm sorry.

Even if I had your foresight,

I'd still be fool enough
to act on what's happening right now,

because right in front of me

is someone I need to protect.

More than winning people over with favors,

I care about the bonds between us.

I'm just a reckless fool
who lives by loyalty.

But because of that,

I didn't even realize the people here

were being treated so unfairly.

So,

this time, I'll follow your lead.

Oh, right.

Someone said he owed you something

and asked me to bring it over.

His life

is yours now.

Aba!

Have you decided what to do?

In return,

can you explain the head chef's death

and what you're really after?

Do you have to get so close when you talk?

You even scared my burps away.

What spell did you just use?

I knew something was off about you.

If you won't cooperate,

then you'll learn the hard way!

I've thought it through.

I want him dead.

I'm with you!

Who...

Who are you, really?

You useless mutts!

Get up!

He can use enhancement magic.

If you're going to swing weapons around,

I won't hold back either.

Those two dog-head axes

aren't half as handy as my cleaver.

You said you wanted him dead
after thinking it through.

Why?

Because he's only useful

when he's dead.

I just searched my memory

for forbidden spells from "Get Good."

And I found a very unusual one.

With it,

we can make sure no one
discovers the Captain's death

and speed up our plans.

There's actually a spell like that?

Is this the forbidden spell you meant?

That's right.

It's called Corpse Reanimation.
