00:00My name is Kenzaburo Tondabayashi.
00:11I'm an ordinary bureaucrat at the ripe old age of 52.
00:16Good morning. Where's your mom?
00:19She's still asleep.
00:21It seems like she got home late last night.
00:25Well, shucks, Hineko.
00:30Good job. I can tell you're sticking to what I've taught you.
00:34Of course I have, Dad.
00:37The match!
00:39Of my homie!
00:42Shines by us when it's used!
00:48I'm off to work.
00:54The designs on otaku merch have gotten really slick these days.
00:58Couldn't read the character's name, though.
01:02I used the stairs as much as possible to stay in good shape.
01:07Raising the arm and leg without twisting my body makes it less taxing.
01:11I learned that nugget from one of my favorite battle manga.
01:15Even in the 21st century, I find the abacus is still faster when it comes to keeping track of finances.
01:35I enjoy the curry here so much I could eat it every day.
01:39Thanks for the meal.
01:40Hey, Chef, it was delicious.
01:43Thanks, I'll see you next time.
01:46So, for our public awareness poster on traffic safety next season,
01:50I propose we use a design based on the popular anime, Mechazoid Warrior Wyvern.
01:55What? Can we even get permission for that?
01:58Well, as it turns out, the creator of the OG manga actually lives here in Sumanuta City.
02:03And when I reached out privately, it seemed like there was a good chance we'd get approval.
02:09This isn't going to work.
02:12The art on this poster shows both characters smiling.
02:18But Fini, the heroine of Mechazoid Warrior Wyvern,
02:21is a cool and mysterious type of character who is rarely seen smiling in the show itself.
02:26We can't ignore the rules of the series, even for the public awareness poster.
02:30It's rude to the anime and its fans.
02:32We have to do this right and let the original creator, Master Suguru-do, supervise.
02:37Or it could be trouble down the line.
02:39And most importantly, we have to respect his work and not keep it in any way to fit our needs.
02:44He...
02:45He knows so much!
02:49That's another day of work done.
02:52Staying humble by performing my assigned role to the highest possible standard.
02:57That's how I get the most satisfaction from life.
03:00I'm not going to make it!
03:11And so, as you can see, I've somehow ended up in another world.
03:16But no matter what sort of person I get reincarnated as,
03:19I intend to perform their role in the world to the highest possible standard.
03:23That said...
03:25A pleasant and very fine day to you, Mr. Principal.
03:28Hmm.
03:31Hmm.
03:33What the heck am I supposed to do here?
03:35I'm not going to make it!
08:06Yes, exactly. This is all part of an evil plan, and the best way to follow through is...
08:12There's one thing you should be very well aware of. If you're going to commit yourself to the student council, then etiquette and manners befitting of high society are expected.
08:21There is a mountain of tasks and things you will need to know by art, and I shall be responsible for drilling each and every one of them in your head! You best prepare yourself!
08:31Yes, perfect! It's just the kind of draconian attitude I need. I must nail that same tone!
08:37Listen, Ana. If you're going to commit yourself to being part of the student council, then etiquette befitting of high society is expected.
08:44There's a mountain of things you will need to know by heart.
08:47Now lay it on thick. Real mean and bossy.
08:50And I shall be the one responsible for drilling every one of them into your head. You best prepare yourself.
08:57Crap! That didn't sound right! Did I screw it up?
09:00Oh my gosh, yes! I'm in! I'll dedicate everything to being a member!
09:06Great. We have nothing to worry about if Grace is helping you manage everything.
09:11I'm starting to see you in a whole new light than before. You actually know how to be quite mature.
09:17You're a paragon of virtue, Lady Grace.
09:19No! Not at all! I'm nearly upholding the standards as daughter of the Duke!
09:27Okay! I'll make sure to file the paperwork. Starting next week, you will be official members of the student council. It's great to have you!
09:34Wow! I feel like I'm living in a dream!
09:38This is our reality, Ana. Get your head out of the clouds!
09:41Huh? Oh! Yes, of course!
09:44Focus!
09:45Well, I guess that's enough evil doing for today. Seeing as how we'll be on the student council together, it won't be hard to figure out which love route Ana will end up taking.
09:55The only question is, will it be Crown Prince Virgil? The buff hunk in charge of security? The tight-lit hunk with long hair? Or the diligent hunk with raven locks? Hmm.
10:07What were their names again?
10:13Konzabato was incapable of memorizing so many foreign names all at once.
10:19Alright, students. Today we will begin practical sorcery lessons where you will use magic circles to cast spells.
10:27There is a barrier over the courtyard, so do not worry about damaging anything outside of it.
10:33First, use your wand to download the basic circle formation. Then, inscribe an order with the ancient magiscript.
10:40O ye specks of light, fly!
10:49Now then, open your books to the basic table of magiscript.
10:53Madame Crona?
10:54Yes?
10:55Why can't we just use regular letters we know to inscribe the order instead? Having to memorize a new writing system from scratch seems difficult.
11:02That's a great question. If you use normal letters, then everyone around you, including non-sorcerers, will be able to read it.
11:11However, this causes their monolith thoughts to mix in with yours, thereby dispersing the spell's power.
11:17So basically it's necessary for us to write with words that only sorcerers would understand. Do I have that right, madame?
11:23But couldn't we just come up with an original writing system that only we could comprehend? That seems like it would work better that way.
11:30That's another great question!
11:32We use words to write different types of orders and incantations so that we can tap into the raw verbology of the words themselves.
11:41Verbology is a form of mana that latently exists within words. But in order for a word to harbor anything, it must be used across the ages by many people until it has acquired a rich history.
11:54That's why the words we use for sorcery are old-fashioned ones that have fallen out of modern-day use. Ancient Magiscript is perfect! Do you understand, dear?
12:03I do! That makes perfect sense!
12:05Then you may get into your groups and begin!
12:08Hold on. If words with a rich history that aren't commonly used here are the perfect fit for sorcery, then...
12:19Fire!
12:23Let's kick it up a notch!
12:25Flame!
12:29She is a genius!
12:32What was that?
12:33Did she use a secret alphabet passed down in her family?
12:37Like, that's a big deal!
12:39I've already taken multiple lessons on making magic circles from a private tutor!
12:44Watch this!
12:45Now come forth!
12:47Magic circles!
12:49I see Ana has a knack for this!
12:51The radiance of her circle is much stronger!
12:54She must have a larger innate pool of mana than everyone else!
13:03Come on!
13:04Golem!
13:06We've got trouble!
13:07Suchi passed out from infusing his golem with too much mana!
13:16The golem's headed right for us!
13:18It must be drawn to Ana's power!
13:20Ana!
13:21Extinguish your magic circle!
13:23We need to run!
13:24What?
13:25Extinguish it?
13:26But how?
13:27So circles won't disappear until the mana they're summoned with gets used up?
13:31Well, it's sink or swim now!
13:33Here we go!
13:34I'm going to borrow your magic circle!
13:39Shut down!
13:52Report to my office later, young man!
13:54Yes, ma'am!
13:55She stopped it!
13:56Amazing!
13:57What kind of magic was that?
13:59I just wrote that in a panic without knowing if it would work!
14:03But...
14:04I guess they play pretty loose with the rules in this world!
14:08You can't mess with success!
14:10She considered it a success!
14:11She considered it a success!
14:16My name is Josette!
14:17I currently serve at Duco Burns' estate as a maid in training!
14:22But lately, the young mistress of the house has been acting very weird!
14:31Um, m'lady?
14:32I brought you the book that you asked me to fetch you!
14:35Well, thank you!
14:36You can just leave it there!
14:40Something really IS wrong with her!
14:42Lady Grace always has the appearance of an angel with the heart of the devil!
14:46No matter what I did before, she always stepped back with a complaint or a lecture!
14:52Lady Grace has really turned over a new leaf and become much more relaxed lately.
14:56Do you think something happened to put her in a good mood?
14:58I'm not sure.
14:59It would be nice if that was really the case.
15:02This is just the calm before the storm.
15:04What do you mean?
15:05Well, for instance, what if she already made up her mind that she plans to fire us all?
15:09And now she's just acting nice until she delivers the bad news!
15:13Ah, you mean like how they give the livestock an extravagant meal the day before they're sent off to market?
15:19Exactly!
15:21Like livestock getting sent off to the market?!
15:24Well, if she really was going to pawn one of us off, then it would have to be the biggest clots, me!
15:34Oh no! I'm doomed for sure!
15:37Oh, Josette!
15:38Oh, Josette!
15:40Are you okay?
15:41Did you get hurt?
15:42She's-
15:43She's being too nice!
15:45I can already see my life flashing before my eyes!
15:48Oh, my lady!
15:50I am so sorry!
15:52What?
15:53Please at least pawn me off to a place where I can still work as a maid!
15:56Nobody should eat me because I want a taste good!
15:59Huh?
16:01Knowing that certain rumors have been going around among the maids recently, combined with all the fatherly experience from raising his own daughter,
16:11Ding!
16:12Grace, a.k.a. Konzabato, more or less deduced the problem.
16:17Ah, Josette, I don't know what everyone else has been telling you lately, but I'm not going to be pawning you off anywhere.
16:23I can assure you.
16:24Really?!
16:26Of course, everyone makes mistakes, and not to mention, you're still just a maid in training.
16:32If I fired maids every time they made a blunder, then it would be impossible for any of them to become a proper professional.
16:38So then, I'm not going to get sold off at the market?
16:41Goodness, no, of course you're not.
16:43Wait!
16:44Are you really sure you're okay with that?!
16:47I see.
16:48Since Grace has always been a cutthroat master to her maids, I've caused this girl all sorts of confusion by suddenly acting nice.
16:55How inconsiderate of me.
16:57With that being the case, I could never exert the same level of ruthlessness as Grace.
17:02How can I handle this?
17:03If being ruthless isn't an option, then...
17:08Josette.
17:11Huh?
17:12As it so happens, I'm already too full to take another bite.
17:16Would you mind eating these delicious treats for me instead?
17:19I'll just pamper her to the extreme!
17:22Go on, take a bite!
17:27Huh?
17:28Is this some kind of trap?
17:31But, I mean, she is telling me to eat it!
17:35And it does smell really yummy!
17:38It looks so good!
17:40It's gotta be the best cookie of the bunch!
17:43No, it's the best cookie in the entire world!
17:46Oh man, this is so hard!
17:48I wanna eat this cookie so bad!
17:56It feels like something major had happened to me earlier, but for some reason I don't care anymore!
18:03Where are you going, Lady Grace?
18:09Well, I was wondering if Meister Vols could perhaps fix this teapot for me.
18:13Meister Vols? Who's that?
18:16Well, I suppose that means you haven't met him yet.
18:19Meister Vols is a dwarf.
18:22He is a blacksmith my family keeps in their employ.
18:31Do you think you can fix an item like that?
18:34Hmm...
18:35Can I fix it, you ask?
18:38I'm afraid that's entirely the wrong question, my lady.
18:42Huh?
18:43We dwarves prefer to phrase it another way.
18:46When can you have it fixed by?
18:48And the answer is 30.
18:50No, actually I would say 20 minutes.
18:53Yes, pardon me.
18:56A slip of the tongue.
18:57Could you start working on it right away, Meister Vols?
19:00Do you mind if I stay and watch you work on it?
19:09I won't get in the way.
19:14Whatever floats your boat.
19:21Dwarves are the greatest craftsmen of any fantasy story.
19:25Getting to see one work up close is a real treat.
19:28Talk about lucky.
19:29But having this level of detail on something that's not relevant to the game
19:33further convinces me that this world isn't one that only exists inside of an Otome video game.
19:41This is amazing!
19:43I can't tell where it was broken!
19:45It looks perfectly new!
19:48Thank you, Meister.
19:49You did a superb job.
19:51Well, Shooks.
19:52It's been many moons since the last time I saw you.
19:55I was a tad more fired up than usual.
19:58The last time?
19:59Maybe you're too old to remember now.
20:02You used to come here all the time back when you were just a wee lass.
20:06And you never got tired of watching me do my work for hours on end.
20:10I can see it in her memories.
20:17In her youth, Grace was the type who loved watching the blacksmith and Gardiner do their work.
20:23But ever since she underwent lessons on how to act as a noble, she visited them less because she felt it wasn't ladylike.
20:32She became stricter on herself and others to the point where she treated all of her servants harshly.
20:37And that is what ultimately turned Grace into the cold-hearted villainess she is today.
20:46But at her core, Grace is a girl whose nature is much more.
20:51My lady?
20:52My lady?
20:53My lady?
20:54My lady?
20:55Lady Grace?
20:56My lady?
20:59Is everything okay?
21:01Uh...
21:02Yes.
21:03We should be heading back soon.
21:06I appreciate your help, Meister Vals.
21:11Perhaps...
21:12Perhaps...
21:22It would be alright if I stopped by again?
21:25What a strange question to ask.
21:27This is part of your own family's estate.
21:31You're free to stop by whenever you want.
21:33Thank you, Meister.
21:39Well then, I bid you adieu.
21:41I bid you adieu.
21:42I bid you adieu.
21:43As much as I said, Thund description was about all IG.
21:44And I bid you adieu.
21:45Which would take joy would not have ever ever been.
21:46Stay real!
21:47Good morning!
21:48Ch Mohし!
21:49All you know paid.
21:50Today's session is done!
21:51Let's go out on the cruise soon!
21:52Cheers!
21:53And Far見て to thirst for dumping still.
21:55Now I think to know tat sonny.
22:09Alright, because it's the biggest song is called Les offered to his Declaration.
22:12Oh
22:42Oh
23:12Meister
23:14I have another project for you
23:16Hmm
23:18What seems to be the problem, m'lady?
23:20Well, Meister
23:22Is it possible for you to make something like this?
23:24Let me see
23:26A calculator
23:28Introducing this world to the abacus
23:30Who knows what exactly
23:32Kinzaburo has in store
23:34If we're going to ask
23:36Master Tsuruguno for help
23:38Then you must familiarize yourselves
23:40His magnum opus, Yokai Detective Ginga
23:42Which reminds me, when the neighboring
23:44Hanabushi City did a collaboration
23:46With the Sonic Boy Jin series
23:48They made the brilliant move of enlisting help
23:50From animation director, Mr. Ken Nishisaki
23:52The people who handled the film adaptation
