Yuusha, Yamemasu (I'm Quitting Heroing)

Ikite ikite ikitsukuse Live, live on, with all your might

Hikari o mirai e Follow the light to the future

Uragirareta kodoku na sekai ni torinokosare Betrayed and left behind in this lonely world

Miushinatta ashita o osorete ima mo Fearing a tomorrow I've lost sight of

Ibasho o sagasu I search for the place I belong

Hitsuyou to saretai kokoro no sakebi My heart screams out, "I want to be needed"

Karamiau IDENTITY tashikametainda shinjite iikana I want to puzzle out these entwined identities, but can I trust them?

Ikite ikite ikitsukuse Live, live on, with all your might

Hikari o mirai e Follow the light to the future

Tatoe subete ushinattemo Even if you lose everything

Kibou o tsunaide Stay connected to hope

Boku ga koko ni iru imi I don't know why I'm here

Ima wa wakaranakute mo ii But that's all right with me right now

Kimi to waraiaeru you ni I have to overcome and press on

Jibun de tachikitte susumudake So I can smile with you again

Remember, the Work Trip is First and Foremost a Learning Opportunity (Part 1)

Yay! Vacation, vacation!

Lily, we are not here to enjoy ourselves.

This is a learning opportunity for us all.

Oh, please. We're not going to learn anything while we're having fun.

You've only been officially employed with us for a month. How could you know that?

Because I've been on lots of 'work learning opportunity' trips,

and they all end up being fun vacations.

It won't be any different with the Demon Army.

This is why I hired you, Leo. Your wealth of experience is invaluable.

But can you still claim that after seeing this?

It's hella run down!

Goodness.

I like it! This place has quite the character!

Mernes, you chose this place, yes?

Yeah. It's got four walls and a roof and it's deserted. It's perfect.

THAT'S how you picked a place to stay?

I see nothing wrong with it.

If the public learned the leaders of the Demon Army were gathering here, they would panic.

It's imperative that we lie low for the duration of our trip.

That makes sense. No one will find out who we are at an inn this deserted.

And I told Shutina to book us under false names to help with that.

I did tell you, didn't I?

Welcome, great leaders of the Demon Army!

Well, the cat's out of the bag now!

I'm so sorry!

Sheesh!

Come now, it's all right!

Thanks for having us!

We're so glad to have you.

We have a lovely outdoor spring for you to bathe in. I highly recommend it.

An outdoor spring! That sounds nice.

We've no hot springs to bathe in at the castle.

I may need to soak in the spring with a glass of ale.

Hey, what's a 'spring'? Is it like a bath?

Yes, but bigger.

Can I swim in it?

No.

Why not?! I wanna go swimming!

Let's focus, everyone.

We are here to work, remember?

If I could just have a representative for your group sign here...

Yes, of course.

There. Thank you.

You're very welcome.

Excuse me.

I should inform you that you may encounter unwanted visitors during your stay.

Huh? What do you mean?

Ghosts.

What?!

Gh-ghosts?!

I'm sure the rumor is merely the result of a misunderstanding,

but in the case that it isn't, please keep that in mind.

Oh, no! Will we be okay? Can we fight ghosts?!

I-I don't know...

Ghosts don't exist. It's just superstition. All superstition!

Y-yes! And if we do encounter one, I will destroy it with a spell!

Worry not, Lily!

Oh, good! I feel better now!

If only it were just superstition...

Delicious! This is good stuff.

The food and amenities are wonderful, too. Great job finding this inn, Mernes.

Thanks.

We still haven't done anything work-related, though. Isn't this a learning opportunity?

We spent an hour discussing work! That is more than enough for today.

Oh, c'mon! This is 100% just a vacation!

Cease your prattling! We are Army leaders on a journey, not a vacation. My goodness.

Queen Echidna?

I am going for a walk, and to purchase some snacks.

Shall I accompany you?

Yeah, what if you run into a ghost?

She won't.

That's right. I'd forgotten to give you something.

The innkeep gave us these charms of protection. Take one.

Charms?

These.

You gotta be kidding me!

She says they are ghost-dispelling charms that have been passed down here for generations.

Ghost-dispelling charms... You're sure?

I am. We wouldn't want to be attacked by spirits, after all.

Do ensure you wear them at all times.

Okay!

Very well.

Look, I have four ears!

Uh-huh.

These things dispel ghosts? Come on. I'm gonna pass.

Ah, I see, you're going to pass, are you?

Then I suppose we should have another private drinking party, you and I!

Seeing as we seemingly need to strengthen our--

I'll wear them with pride, Your Highness!

Get them on! Your Queen commands it!

We need to wear them, too?

They will look flattering on the women, but can you say the same for us men?

Orders from the boss! Keep your head down and obey, Edvard.

This is harassment.
