It's been just over a month since I came to the Eldant Empire.
The generators and the school I asked Matoba to build are nearly complete.
That's where this "school" thing will be built, yes?
Yes.
I want lots of people to learn about Japanese culture there.
Regardless of their status.
Shinichi!
3. Thou Art Invaders
I've been looking for you!
Huh? But today's not a study day...
Am I not allowed to visit you on other days?
N-No, no, that's not it...
Good, then!
Hm?
Kanji?
Easy Kanji Drills 1
Wow...
Behold my cleverness and be in awe!
I'm... actually really surprised by this.
I won't lose to a lowly maid!
Huh?
Oh, no, um...
This is good timing.
Let's compete to see who's learned more!
Huh?!
Hey, Petralka...
She sells seashells by the sea shore!
What?
She sells seashells by the sea shore!
See? Now you try!
Yes.
She sells shea-sells...
Shinichi-kun?
Your Imperial Majesty...
What's the matter?
What's with that get-up, Minori-san?
Oh, these are my normal work clothes.
Hey, stop ogling my breasts.
Oh, sorry.
Shinichi, do you prefer women with large chests?
Huh?
Well, large breasts are a highly desirable character trait.
Don't call them a trait.
Hmph, it just means they have excess fat on their chests.
Huh?
Oh... Well, small breasts have their own advantages too, you know.
Their modest presence is likened to chaste flower buds,
and the perverse eroticism of the moment they're uncovered is... huh?
If we weren't in Eldant, you'd be sued for sexual harassment.
Huh?
You're a real pervert, aren't you, Shinichi?
No! I'm not like that!
And I see your acceptable range is quite broad.
If someone doesn't keep an eye on you,
who knows when you'll go after your servant and impregnate her?
I-Impreg—
I won't go after her!
And a young girl shouldn't say "impregnate" anyway!
Now, now.
So we held our usual study days...
Now, turn to page 48 of your textbooks.
We still looked like this, but we now had 20 additional noble children.
And once the school was built, other races began to join, as well.
"I'll kill them all! Every last one!"
Everyone's gone home already.
You don't like being alone with me?
No, it's not that...
Then, let's talk for a while longer.
S-Sure...
You really do love this manga, don't you?
I'm not saying you should return to the frontier alone...
Y-Yes...
I've never known anyone like you.
Huh?
All the missionaries and evangelists I've seen have plainly had ulterior motives.
They tried to curry favor with my nation to earn fame or fortune.
But you actually seem to enjoy this stuff.
I-I guess I do...
You know, Shinichi,
this is the first time in my life I've ever found it fun to be with someone.
Petralka...
Hm?
Ever since I came to this world, I've been having fun, too.
All because I met you and Myucel.
Petralka?
I'm going home!
You fool!
Ah, youth.
Minori-san.
Do you understand what you're doing here?
Huh?
No, I wasn't staring at anything! Honest!
I don't mean that.
Huh?
This is a staunchly feudal society, you know.
They're not ready to accept freedom or equality.
Right now, the Eldant Empire is accepting it
because it's brand new and they don't understand it fully,
but you're trying to establish
an educational system that rejects the very structure of the Eldant Empire.
I know.
I'm doing my best to keep that in mind.
Just make sure you do.
See you later.
Now, shall we begin?
Um, Master?
Hm?
Would you mind removing your ring for a moment?
What for?
Please?
Just for a little bit.
Okay, now what?
Though, I guess you can't understand me...
Master,
I am...
your servant.
I will do... anything I am... told to.
How was that?
Correct?
Yes! It was correct! Perfectly correct!
Thank you very much!
That was amazing.
I never imagined you'd pick up Japanese in such a short time.
Oh, was I really okay?
Well, you were a little awkward,
but you were able to converse.
Thank goodness.
You worked really hard.
You were kind enough to teach me, Master...
Also...
I want to be able to converse in your nation's language naturally.
Well, you can watch anime more freely that way, too.
It kinda ruins the mood if I have to translate everything, doesn't it?
No, um, I mean...
when you finally return to your country...
I was hoping you might take me with you...
Huh?!
D-Don't be fooled, Kanou Shinichi!
It's a trap!
Myucel's just saying that because she'd be treated better in my world,
not because she wants to be with me or anything like that!
Don't get your hopes up, or you'll get hurt!
Just like you did with your childhood friend!
20 days later...
It's called a "school"?
Those are all noble kids.
I wonder if it's really all right for us to go, too...
Man, it's pretty impressive.
What is it?
It's Madoka-tan's birthday!
Alarm Set
What do you mean?
The main heroine in Rental Madoka
was born on this day at seven in the evening, according to her profile!
Master.
Myucel?
You forgot your lunch.
Thank you!
I can't believe I get to enjoy the "having a girl you live with
deliver a lunchbox you forgot" scenario before I die!
Shinichi!
Petralka.
Things seem to be going well.
Thanks to your help.
How far have you gotten?
Huh? U-Um...
In your kanji drills!
I've already finished the second book!
Easy Kanji Drills 2
How's that?! Bet you can't keep up!
Don't get ahead of yourself!
Oh, no, of course not.
Now, now...
Myucel's busy taking care of me,
so she doesn't have much time to study.
Right?
Huh? No...
Ow...
She's all you can think about!
Huh?
I gave you permission to build this "school"!
I even loaned you my army to help build it!
So why do you continue to neglect me and focus on her?!
No, I'm not neglecting—
Quiet! Have you been seduced by her?!
Seduced... What?!
You! Myucel!
Yes!
I want you out of Shinichi's mansion!
But...
Hold on, Petralka!
Be quiet, you!
Don't move!
If you resist, the Empress dies!
We are the patriotic organization,
Bayduna!
Huh?

Ow...
Why is this happening to us?
Dunno.
Her Imperial Majesty and the others...
okay together?
Thinking about it now... too late.
Watching captives separate... impossible.
Brought something terrible... with them.
What is that?
Um... expelling... fire?
Magic... weapon!
It's the Exterminating Flame!
Huh?
It's a flame-based magic weapon.
I've heard of their existence.
It's capable of blowing this school apart.
According to Myucel's interpretation,
they're a minority anti-Imperial organization
with no financial or political influence.
As Petralka told us she had no idea how they obtained such a frightful weapon,
I felt her authority as Empress for the first time.
Master!
You're the ringleader, aren't you?
Ringleader?!
What are you—
Don't play dumb!
This abominable facility is a symbol of your sins!
Huh?
Teaching children to write regardless of race
and forcing humans and non-humans to learn in the same room is intolerable!
Trying to make children of all races worship your foreign culture
is an unforgivable invasion of their minds!
Why do you think different races exist in the first place?!
It is by God's grace!
Elves were gifted with powerful magic,
so they were given poor fertility to prevent them from becoming too numerous.
Dwarves were gifted with fearsome physical strength,
so they were given small statures to prevent rule by violence.
And though humans lack their gifts, we are blessed with the power to rule!
We are the race that is meant to unify and dominate all non-humans!
Now that's a classic case of elitism.
What did you say?
You all want the gifts elves and dwarves have, but you can't have them.
So you group them together and belittle them,
without ever thinking about how much you wish you had their gifts!
And you do so all because you want to seem better than them!
Maybe so.
However, it was humans who established this nation,
and that is something none of the other races could achieve!
As long as humans possess that gift, it's only natural for us to be venerated!
So you're asking the other races to shut up and be ruled
by humans because it means they can live in peace?
Exactly.
This culture or whatever you're bringing in
rejects the very core of the history our ancestors built,
and the natural privileges established therein!
You are destroying our historic values!
You are an invader!
We must protect our ancestors' culture and our nation
from the foul hands of invaders!
Master!
We shall warn the Empire of its foolishness before it's too late!
Watch closely, Your Imperial Highness!
Master!
You fool.
He's merely a figurehead.
What did you say?
He's nothing more than a pawn of Japan.
That woman's one, too.
Killing either of them wouldn't harm Japan in any way.
In fact, were it me, I would set them up as martyrs to incite my citizens.
I'd say, "We cannot forgive the vicious terrorists
who slaughtered our peaceful ambassadors!"
In that case, our business would be with you,
Your Imperial Highness.
Ah... Th-That's right.
If you wish to say something, I shall listen.
Speak.
I-I'm sorry. I'm getting up right now.
No, come closer.
Huh?
Just do it! Push in deeper!
L-Like this?!
This is...
Take it out and give it to me!
What are you two doing?!
Nothing much.
He was just helping me with a little itch.
In my cleavage.
Oh, I guess you can't understand without the ring, huh?
If you try anything funny, I'll kill you on the spot, you hear?!
Thank you.
Fujiko-chan style.
So, what do we do now?
For now, I'll be ready to cut the ropes whenever I need to.
Everyone else's, too.
And then?
Haven't gotten that far yet.
Huh?
Things don't always go that smoothly.
Well, that's true...
Oh...
Minori-san,
if you can wait ten minutes, a way out might present itself.
Huh?
There are others who are fit to be Emperor!
If you continue to allow Japan's invasion,
then we have our own plans!
I-I see.
I understand your claim.
In that case...
What's the situation, Sir Galius?
With Her Imperial Highness held hostage, we cannot rush in.
Koganuma-kun should be concocting a plan, as well.
Please keep your men ready to react to any changes in the situation.
U-Um...
What's your problem?!
Bathroom! Let me go to the bathroom!
No! Piss yourself there!
Ah, I'm not gonna make it!
If I wet myself here, this whole room is gonna reek!
Get him out of here!
Don't even think about trying to escape!
Don't stop! Keep walking!
I said keep walking!
Hey! You!
What?!
Y-You! What have you done?!
Your heart beats fast when you wake up! And in your dream,
What is this song?!
your Magical Lucky Lucky Lucky Love grew stronger.
What's going on?!
Don't move!
The incantation is already complete.
That's what love's about!
I can rip you to shreds at any time.
I never imagined my alarm would come in handy for this!
Madoka-tan, thank you!
Alarm Set
He's bluffing!
The important things are always near yet far away
There are no traces of magic!
I'm from a different world.
My magic won't show up on this world's magic radars!
Waiting for you to meet them,
K-Kill him!
As long as we have Her Imperial Majesty,
my hand links with yours.
he shouldn't be able to use large-scale magic!
He's quicker than I thought...
Wh-Why, you!
Are you all right?
You saved me!
Kill that woman!
But this man possesses unknown magic!
By the way, my magic level is 530,000.
N-No way!
Why, you!
Damn you!
All units, charge!
You bitch! In that case...
Oh, no!
Your Imperial Majesty...
Once that weapon's activated, there's no...
No one can stop us now!
What the...
You! What have you—
What's that?!
A convenient item from my world:
A fire extinguisher.
Thank god it worked!
Fire extinguisher?!
What a fearsome weapon!
Someone who follows an invader...
is unfit to be Empress!
Your Imperial Majesty!
Wha—
Myucel?!
Myucel!
Myucel...
Why did... you...
I... treated you like...
So why?
I don't know...
But...
I wanted to believe...
in Master's manga...
M-My manga?
That one day... those of different status...
could... understand...
each other...
Myucel?
Are you stupid?! Are you an idiot?!
Someone! Quick!
Run and bring her a doctor!
Don't die, Myucel!
I forbid you to die!
That's an Imperial order! Myucel!
She's suffered a terrible wound, but we need her to get better...
Next Episode: Furry Spy
She was an oasis for all of us, and if anything were to happen to her...
No...
More importantly, I...
I've secretly been enjoying the glimpses of collarbone
from beneath that ribbon around her neck!
Um...
What is it, Koganuma-kun?
She seems fine...
