You guys have all the fun.
I want to go explore the ruins, too.
We're not going to have fun.
Toris and the Demon Lord have both invaded.
We'll have to split our forces up, too.
The enemy army is invading here... and here.
This country's knights will handle Toris.
You go here and hold back the Demon Lord's army.
Seriously?
I know he's a mutant, but he can't hold off a whole army by himself.
I feel like she's telling me lolicons need to go extinct, meow.
I agree they need to go extinct.
But I only give orders to people who can do the job.
Take a close look at this map.
You're the king of the jungle, Mutant Tiger King, right?
Wow.
I see ambush spots everywhere.
I could win here with my eyes closed, meow!
Way to go, Tiger Man!
All those "meows" are creepy, but you're cool!
Aww, you're embarrassing me, meow.
While the knights and Tiger Man hold off the enemy,
we'll head to Toris again.
If we get that ancient weapon, we can threaten them into submission.
--Clap, clap, clap.
--We're the bad guys. --Clap, clap, clap...
--Let's make them do the work while we take the prize! --Clap, clap, clap.
Yeah!
"Episode 11: 'How to Make an Evil Leader Cry!'"
We're heading to Toris right after the declaration of war?
It has to be now.
If we go now, our only opponents will be the Demon Lord's leaders,
who are probably already there.
Commander, why'd you do that to the prince?
Sometimes, it feels like you're a real moron.
And you look nice, but sometimes you can be really cruel.
You tried to eat me!
You're still going on about that?
Even I wouldn't try to eat you.
After all the stuff we did together, you really forgot what happened that night?
My loan...
Hey, Six. Shut that crybaby up.
Um, Commander, what did I do?
--I need money... money for my loan! --Commander! Answer me, Commander!
--What happened?
--Look, I can't help the fact that she cut your pay. --What happened?
--I always use my whole paycheck the week I get it. -- Are you listening to me? Commander!
--And I still live a fun life. --Commander! Commander!
--There's more to life than money! --Commander!
You live a fun life 'cause I give you an allowance.
You've been getting an allowance from a kid?
Aren't you embarrassed?
Why am I getting mocked when I'm trying to make you feel better?
Oh, fine.
Hey, Snow. If you're useful on this mission, I'll give you an allowance, too.
And if we get that ancient weapon from the ruins,
you'll get a three month's paycheck as a bonus.
Queen Alice!
We're going into the ruins alongside the Demon Lord's leaders.
Don't just charge in like you usually do.
Of course, Queen Alice!
Just leave it to me!
How many bad things would you have to do in a past life to end up like you?
Quiet. You get an allowance from Queen Alice, so you don't get to talk.
Money is everything.
For the sake of money, I'd kill my co-workers, acquaintances,
even my parents, who I've never met.
Sorry to interrupt when you're sounding like absolute scum,
but stop calling me Queen Alice.
Hey, want to hire her for Kisaragi?
I think she's got what it takes to be a bad guy.
She feels less evil, and more like a bottom-feeder. Same as you.
I could buy a second glacial sword with that bonus...
She's the type to get greedy, screw up,
and just go deeper and deeper into the mud.
Right!
That's not me, though.
What a nice nap!
Shut up, idiot!
Those stories about an ancient civilization might be true.
Hey, Six. This ancient weapon might actually be worth our time.
It's just going to go out of control and attack us, right?
I know how this works. I've seen it in a million anime.
Yeah. We can assume it'll self-destruct, too.
If they're still making camp out here, we can assume we made it in time.
I'm so tired.
No matter how many of those weird enemies we defeat, they just keep coming.
There were lots of traps, too.
But we're almost to our goal! We'll probably get there tomorrow.
Russell, you get some rest.
You used a lot of your magic, right?
I'm just fine!
Combat chimeras have infinite magic power.
As long as I don't run out of food, I can use water magic all day!
Okay.
Then eat up, 'cause tomorrow's a big day.
Would you stop treating me like a kid?
They're pretty worn down from their trip inside.
Yeah. Now what do we do?
Commander, if we're going inside, let's hurry.
I want to wrap up our search while it's still night.
Otherwise, we might not be able to make the most out of my amazing powers.
I can't remember your weird occult powers being useful for anything lately.
What?
Are you actually going to get a chance to be useful?
M-Make sure I do!
I'm Grimm the Archpriest!
You need to rely on me when you're in trouble!
Calm down, Grimm.
They can't have imagined we'd return to Toris so soon.
They can't!
Well... that's true.
So I'm going to propose something that's a little cowardly.
A little cowardly!
They've let their guard down.
Forget the ruins, let's hit them in the night, and...
Hit them in the night, and...
Don't imitate her!
Snow, you're supposed to be a knight, right?
Th-That's right!
D-Don't let the commander influence you!
Wh-What do you want?
We're up against two of their leaders, right?
Six, Alice, you understand how good this plan is, right?
Who do you think I am?
A Kisaragi Combat Agent could never do something so lame.
Well said, Six.
That's what I'd expect from a Kisaragi Combat Agent.
Wait!
I'm trying to copy you...
Copy us, she says.
Sheesh... She must not think much of Kisaragi.
That's right.
Six, tell it to her straight.
We're going to rest here tonight.
Then tomorrow we follow them,
and let them fight the monsters and trigger the traps.
And then when, exhausted, they finally reach the goal
and they're happy and relaxed,
we hit them.
I'm not gonna waste this wonderful chance on a lame night attack.
Well said!
That's how a Kisaragi Combat Agent should think, Six.
It's been fantasy this whole time,
but this place is science fiction, huh?
This planet has gaps in its level of civilization.
The obvious explanation is a now-vanished advanced civilization.
A creature like her shouldn't even be able to exist, for one thing.
Rose, what is it?
Nothing...
Just, these aren't the ruins where I was found,
but I feel like I know this place...
Fascinating. But let's focus on tailing them for now.
Snow, what are you doing?
Relics from ancient ruins should sell for a fortune if we can bring them back!
--We're in the middle of a mission!
--Should we just leave her? --We're in the middle of a mission!
--Should we just leave her? --Help me out and I'll cut you in for 10%, Rose!
--I promised her that bonus if she was useful, too... --Help me out and I'll cut you in for 10%, Rose!
These are definitely robots, right?
They're badly worn down by age, but yeah, they're robots.
Probably for defense.
Wait, Six.
--If we took this back and sold it...
--Come on, let's go. --If we took this back and sold it...
We need to catch up to Heine's group.
Come back and get them later.
Alice, you tell them--
Fascinating. These guys are clearly powered by...
You, too?
I've played with them, I think.
Heine, more of them!
A new type of guardian!
They just don't stop, do they?
Leave it to me! I'll burn them to ash with my flames!
I'm tired of camping.
I want to take a nice, long nap at the Demon Lord's castle.
To a combat chimera like me, this is like home.
But I guess you're more adapted for modern environments, huh?
Don't be a brat.
They're friends, huh?
Let's go.
A trap, huh?
Are you okay, Russell? Are you hurt?
I'm okay, because you protected me.
But you're hurt.
Hang on, I'll heal you!
Chimeras are tough. You don't need to protect me...
I can't have something happening to you.
Every one of us wants the Sand King gone.
And you're the only one who can do it.
Heine...
You're right.
I can't die until I've fulfilled my duty.
I won't let you die even after that.
You're still a kid.
And it's a grown-up's job to protect kids!
You're treating me like a kid again!
Fine, just you wait!
When you're in trouble, I'll protect you!
I can't wait.
I'm serious!
They don't have a clue.
Hey, Grimm.
Grimm, you awake?
What is it, Commander?
I can't see the sun, but my body still thinks it's time to sleep.
Hey, can you put a curse on them from here?
If they were to lose the ability to use magic, they'd be in big trouble.
Not a bad idea.
But I need to speak in a pretty loud voice for the curse to work.
Commander!
I'm feeling really bad for them!
When you look at how hard they're trying...
Throw your conscience in a ditch somewhere!
Your country's fate depends on this mission!
We can't fail!
But...
Bonus.
I'm a knight. I have to serve my country, huh?
Rose, just stay with me on this.
When we get back, I'll give you a nice, big meal.
Commander,
you think you can get me to do anything as long as you feed me, don't you?
Th-This time, I'll do what you say, though!
It may be too late for both of them.
"Fellow Chimeras?"
We're here, Heine. This is it.
So this is the weapon that can fight the Sand King?
It's huge.
Yeah.
It originally existed to wipe out the monkeys
that were breeding up on the surface.
After we defeat the Sand King, we can get rid of those annoying humans.
Not that again...
You hate humans that much?
Yeah, I do.
That was the wish of the one who created me.
You don't hate them?
I heard they did all kinds of awful things to you.
Well, it's war.
I can't start hating them for every little thing...
No, I do hate them!
At least, that one human specifically!
I see.
You mean the one we met in Toris, right?
I'll let you finish him off if we get the chance.
I appreciate it, but once this thing comes online,
the war will be over.
Okay, Russell.
I know you can do this.
Anything I can help with?
Don't worry.
Just watch.
Yeah, it doesn't seem broken at all.
This'll be easy--
Die!
Russell of the Water, leader of the Demon Lord's army, is mine!
Russell!
Okay, hands up.
What are you doing here?
Too bad. These ruins are ours now.
Try to resist, and I'll attack the kid, not you.
You're such a...
Wait! Were you following us the whole time?
And now you're coming in at the last minute to take the prize?
Yep! You figured us out!
That's right. We just strolled right in after you did all the work!
That's not fair!
How many days do you think it took us to get here?
That's not fair!
There are some things that humans just shouldn't do!
Don't blame me. We're the bad guys.
Anyway, Heine.
Who was "that one human, specifically" that you were just talking about?
I-I didn't say it was you.
Hey, Six.
Don't interrupt! This is the good part.
He's not breathing.
--Russell! --Seriously?
I guess that was a critical hit.
--Well done, Six. --Russell! Russell!
Russell!
Oh, crap! Did I just kill a kid?
Alice, can you do something?
I can give him a shot, but if it doesn't work, give up.
Morning.
What happened?
You took a near-fatal blow from me.
But we're nice people, and the battle's over, so we patched you up.
I see. You hit me from behind, huh?
Did you hear what he said?
A minute ago he was panicking.
He also said the battle's over!
Even Lord Zenarith himself is disgusted.
So you were waiting for me to revive so you could steal this weapon.
That's right.
Now don't get any ideas.
Listen, I know I'm a demon,
but are you guys okay with this, as people?
First, open this up for us.
Then tell us how to control the thing.
Snow, I'm feeling like the bad guy here.
Don't say that to me!
I'm doing this for my nation... Yes, for my nation's sake!
Snow, can you look me in the eyes and say that?
It's easy to boot it up.
Anybody associated with this facility can.
I didn't expect he'd do exactly what I asked...
Hey...
Hey, Six, what was that?
Damn it!
Crap, I think it's too late.
Six, give up on stealing it, and destroy it!
Don't move!
One wrong move and bad things will happen to her!
For some reason, I think that not only the enemy, but my allies, are disgusted!
Russell, can I leave this to you?
Yep. This is all I need.
Go back to the castle and report.
I don't like the way this is going...
Tell them that with this ancient weapon, I can destroy the Sand King,
and the humans, too!
It's a tie this time, Six.
Next time we meet--
Not happening!
Crap, I didn't make it in time.
Well done, Six.
You got yourself a treasure.
Damn that Six...
Let me finish my line!
Wh-What?
You earned evil points!
Why you...!
Retreat!
Wait! You monkeys will regret what you did to Heine!
I'll crush you!
Shut up!
You want Heine's underwear that badly, pervert?
Here you go, go grab it!
You idiot!
Heine and I aren't like...
Why you...!
What do we do, Commander?
I don't think we can fight that thing!
Can it even get out?
I didn't see a corridor big enough for it to fit!
The ancients weren't idiots!
There's probably an exit just for it!
It doesn't matter.
If it wants to fight, we just drag things out inside the ruins.
Yeah.
I can't imagine that big thing can keep going forever without resupply!
You're late.
I was getting bored!
Go back inside!
These ruins aren't built tough enough to stop this thing.
You can't hide inside.
I'll stomp on you all, like insects!
"Next Time: Final Episode!"
"Look forward to it!"
