Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu 2nd Season (Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy- Season 2)

It's so hot.

What's going on?

The irregular changes in weather seem to be intensifying.

It's the middle of the night, but it's scorching hot.

What is happening to my demiplane sanctuary?

Season Two

Night Seven New Member Audition

Night Seven New Member Audition

The various species worked together to finish construction.

This is my house?

Young Master, welcome home!

I-I'm back.

Welcome back, Young Master.

All the demiplane's residents have been waiting for you.

We've been eagerly awaiting your return.

Why don't you lead a toast?

Okay.

It's good to see all of you again.

Thanks for building this majestic house for me.

May today's celebration serve as a reward for all your hard work.

So, uh...

Cheers!

Cheers!

You've been spending all your time dealing with children and conducting business at the academy.

We all missed you.

You should stop by the demiplane more often.

You're right. I'll be more careful about that.

Y-Young Master, would you like some of this?

Thanks, Mio.

This looks like something I ate in Tsige.

Oh, just how I like it. It's really good.

Is this...

Mio made that.

Huh?

She's been learning to cook lately.

Mio prepared most of those dishes.

Wow.

Mio, that's amazing. It's really good.

Young Master!

I have learned the true joy of cooking.

Next time, I shall prepare even more delicious dishes.

Yes, even more delicious.

Uh...

Where is Mio going?

She's probably headed to Tsige.

There's an adventurer there who possesses unusual culinary skills.

I see. Either way, I'm glad she's enjoying herself.

We appreciate your kind words.

Anyway...

Young Master!

After this, we'll be holding a meeting to report what we learned.

We should speak later!

Take your time until then.

Okay.

This is going to be a long night.

Now, then...

Regarding our investigation of the region where you once fought the Dragon Slayer...

Okay.

Casually

During our investigation, we encountered a hero.

What?

He was the hero of the Gritonia Empire. His name was Iwahashi Tomoki.

He seemed to be around the same age as you.

The same age as me, huh?

What was he like?

He seemed to be up to no good.

To put it mildly, he was a scumbag.

Even though he's a hero?

He overestimates his own abilities and is consumed by his own desires.

He may intend to go to war against other hyumans after defeating the demons.

Also, when I read the thoughts of the princess accompanying him,

I detected a mental picture of a firearm.

Huh?

Gritonia's hero must have explained the concept to the nation's hyumans.

They're not as powerful as magic,

but small firearms can be used for assassinations

or mass murder, depending on the situation.

Honestly, I found them rather unpleasant.

I considered eliminating them without your knowledge.

Yikes!

Even if they're unpleasant, you can't just kill someone out of nowhere.

For now, we can watch and wait to see what they do.

Next, regarding the goddess's powers and the Dragon Slayer,

I was unfortunately unable to find any useful information.

What about information on me?

On you? I found nothing in particular.

There were rumors about someone who may or may not have caused a destructive rampage...

and launched an arrow powerful enough to turn the entire battlefield into a lake.

A lake?

What kind of monster is capable of that?

Are you sure it wasn't the goddess?

Why are you laughing?

Forgive me. By the way, they apparently say this person is a demon.

A demon, huh?

Okay, now it's my turn to report what I learned.

Shiki has informed me of most of the goings-on at the academy city.

I heard you're rather popular.

Wha—

That's not worth reporting on.

I disagree. Why don't you make yourself comfortable and tell me all about it?

I-If Shiki's already told you about it, then I have nothing to report.

More importantly...

What is it?

Why is it so hot?

Now that you mention it...

This is unbearable.

What's with the sudden heat wave?

Emma has already reported on the demiplane's irregular weather changes.

Some of the children and elderly residents of the demiplane have been falling ill.

The cause is probably...

Me?

Indeed.

To be precise, it may be the effect of the mist gates you created outside the demiplane.

I've been placing gates all over the place at random.

Apparently, the location of the last gate you used broadly determines the weather.

But the academy city was cool, wasn't it?

The climate at the gate's location isn't reflected as-is.

The location information must be influencing the weather in some complex fashion.

I intend to look into how the locations of the gates influence the climate.

My movements change even the weather?

I'll have to think carefully before I travel anywhere.

Wh-Why?

But why?

I'm sorry. I've been ordered to return by the people looking after me in Limia.

But the young master was delighted by my cooking.

I'm sorry, but I have something to...

There's something I have to do.

I wish you could've taught me more about cooking, but it can't be helped.

Mio-san...

The wasteland was a far more brutal place than I imagined.

If I hadn't met you, I doubt we would've survived.

Thank you so much.

Don't worry about it. I appreciate what you did for me, too.

Not at all. Beren-san made me this marvelous sword, too.

Then you should master wielding that toy quickly.

Mio-san, will you come with—

No.

That was quick!

I have the young master.

Th-Then he could come, too.

He can't. He's too busy.

What if my request were related to the fate of the world?

I don't care about the world.

The only thing that matters is the young master.

Are you absolutely certain?

Yes, absolutely.

Well, you shot me down hard.

I don't intend to follow anyone except the young master.

Yeah, yeah. Thank you for everything.

Hibiki, be careful on your way home.

Okay. Mio-san, please come to Limia someday.

I'll remember a few more recipes for you.

Now that's an enticing offer.

I'll remember that.

Wow, it's beautiful.

We've been growing lotus flowers and white clover like you taught me.

It allows the farmland to rest and provides the children with a place to play.

Looks like the harvests have increased, too.

We've improved the farmland under Shiki-san's instruction.

Currently, we're able to harvest every two weeks on average.

You've taken forced cultivation to an impressive degree, Shiki.

I simply told them what could be accomplished using earth magic based on your knowledge.

We won't have to worry about food anymore.

I'm a bit worried about the unstable weather,

but let's increase the demiplane's population as planned.

Very well. We've already begun the selection process.

Tomoe-sama, Mio-sama, and Shiki-sama have each recommended a species.

Thanks. I'd like to interview them while I'm here.

I'll make the arrangements.

Also, Eld-sama wished to speak with you.

What is this?

Mio-sama brought this with her when she damaged her kimono the other day.

What? Mio damaged her kimono?

Yes, the back was torn up.

Fortunately, her body was unscathed.

It's this material that's the problem.

Is it from a powerful monster?

I looked into it, and it seems to have been a monster that consumed a wind spirit.

What? A spirit?

Considering the strength of typical monsters,

it's hard to believe one could have preyed on even a weakened spirit.

Which means...

Someone did this deliberately?

Um...

What is it?

I-It was me.

What was you?

I made that monster.

What?!

It was one of the experiments I conducted while possessing a forest ogre before I met you.

I captured several mid-level spirits, weakened them, and fed them to monsters.

What?

I thought they'd turn into existing spirits or undergo similar changes,

but I never got to see the results.

So you abandoned them?

Improperly disposed of his experiments.

I'm sorry!

By the way, was that the only time you conducted that experiment?

I'd actually done it several times before.

With not just insectoids, but crustaceans, as well.
