00:07My 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.
00:33Of course I have, Dad.
00:37The match of my own game!
00:42Science greatest, what it's used!
00:48I'm off to work.
00:54The designs on otaku merch have gotten really slick these days.
00:59Couldn'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.
01:25Even 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!
01:41Hey, 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?
01:57Well, as it turns out, the creator of the OG manga actually lives here in Sumanuda 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.
02:14The art on this poster shows both characters smiling.
02:17But 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!
02:38And most importantly, we have to respect his work and not keep it in any way to fit our needs!
02:45He...
02:45He knows so much!
02:48That's another day of work done.
02:52Staying humble, but performing my assigned role to the highest possible standard.
02:57That's how I get the most satisfaction from life.
03:00Ah!
03:07I'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.
03:24That said...
03:24A pleasant and very fine day to you, Mr. Principal.
03:28Hmm.
03:33What the heck am I supposed to do here?
03:54What the heck am I supposed to do here?
04:25I'm not going to make it!
04:26Oh!
04:32Oh
05:27Like them.
05:29These are the love interests.
05:31So dazzling.
05:33We had the pleasure of meeting before, right, Anna?
05:36Uh, yes, we did.
05:38This is the headquarters for our student council.
05:41As you know, I serve as student council president.
05:45I am Virgil Vierge.
05:47This gentleman is our head of security, Auguste Lyon.
05:50Hey.
05:51And our vice president, Richard Vierceau.
05:56Our secretary, Pierre Jemun.
05:58A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
06:01Everyone here now is in their second year.
06:03I'll introduce you to the others later on.
06:05Oh, great.
06:06That's wonderful to know.
06:08I've seen these gentlemen before.
06:10Their faces were all over the cover of the Magical Academy Love and Beast video game.
06:16Basically, the whole point is to play Cupid and successfully hook one of them up with the main heroine, Anna.
06:23Therefore, the role of Grace, the villainous, is to get in the way of their romance.
06:29That's the gist of it.
06:31Why don't we get down to business?
06:33Grace O'Vern, and you, Anna doll, we would like to extend an invite to serve on the council.
06:39Huh?
06:40One problem.
06:41I have no idea how I should throw the proverbial wrench in their romance.
06:44Nothing comes to mind right away.
06:46This could be a problem.
06:48Wait, hold on just a moment.
06:50This academy is for members of the aristocracy.
06:53Can a commoner like me join something as important as the council?
06:57That's a fair question.
06:58Lady Grace, what do you think, then?
07:00Huh?
07:01Yes, well, um...
07:03Based on what Grace knows...
07:05In keeping with tradition, it's routine for the council president to appoint new members based on achievements and social status.
07:13Despite her background, Miss Anna earned the top score on the entrance exam.
07:17Actually, the fact that she's a commoner makes it all the more impressive and serves as proof of her extraordinary
07:22abilities.
07:23That makes her a prime candidate.
07:25So it's only natural that you would extend her an invite.
07:29Ugh!
07:30I wasn't expecting that at all.
07:32Hmm?
07:33I thought for sure you'd say...
07:35A commoner on the student council?
07:38That would be a disgrace to our school and its traditions.
07:41Or something along those lines.
07:42Ah!
07:43I blew it!
07:44I acted like I was giving a performance review of my team at work and assessed her too objectively!
07:50Come on, Anna.
07:51Quit giving me that.
07:52Oh my gosh, she really does want to be friends with me.
07:55Look.
07:56Okay, don't panic.
07:57I just have to remember, I'm playing the role of the cold-hearted Grace O'Vern.
08:01A true villainess wouldn't be satisfied by merely putting distance between the heroine and her love interest.
08:07Yes, exactly.
08:08This is all part of an evil plan.
08:10And the best way to follow through is...
08:12There's one thing you should be very well aware of.
08:15If 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 heart.
08:25And I shall be responsible for drilling each and every one of them in your head.
08:29You best prepare yourself.
08:31Yes. Perfect.
08:33It's just the kind of draconian attitude I need.
08:36I must nail that same tone.
08:38Listen, Anna.
08:38If you're going to commit yourself to being part of the student council, then etiquette befitting of high society is
08:43expected.
08:44There's a mountain of things you will need to know by heart.
08:47Now lay it on thick.
08:49Real mean and bossy.
08:50And I shall be the one.
08:52Responsible for drilling every one of them into your head.
08:55You best prepare yourself.
08:57Crap.
08:58That didn't sound right.
08:59Did I screw it up?
09:01Oh my gosh, yes.
09:02I'm in.
09:03I'll dedicate everything to being a member.
09:07Great.
09:07We have nothing to worry about if Grace is helping you manage everything.
09:12I'm starting to see you in a whole new light than before.
09:15You actually know how to be quite mature.
09:17You're a paragon of virtue, Lady Grace.
09:23No, not at all.
09:25I'm nearly upholding the standards as daughter of the duke.
09:28Okay.
09:28I'll make sure to file the paperwork.
09:30Starting next week, you will be official members of the student council.
09:34It's great to have you.
09:35Wow.
09:36I feel like I'm living in a dream.
09:38This is our reality, Anna.
09:40Get your head out of the clouds.
09:42Huh?
09:42Oh, yes, of course.
09:45Focus.
09:46Well, I guess that's enough evildoing for today.
09:49Seeing as how we'll be on the student council together, it won't be hard to figure out which love route
09:54Anna will end up taking.
09:56The only question is, will it be Crown Prince Virgil?
09:59The buff hunk in charge of security, the tight-knit hunk with long hair, or the diligent hunk with raven
10:06locks?
10:06Hmm.
10:10What were their names again?
10:14Konzabato was incapable of memorizing so many foreign names all at once.
10:20All right, students.
10:22Today 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.
10:37Then, inscribe an order with the ancient magiscript.
10:41O 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?
10:59Having to memorize a new writing system from scratch seems difficult.
11:02That's a great question.
11:04If 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.
11:18So basically it's necessary for us to write with words that only sorcerers would understand.
11:22Do I have that right, madame?
11:24But couldn't we just come up with an original writing system that only we could comprehend?
11:29That seems like it would work better that way.
11:31That's another great question.
11:33We use words to write different types of orders and incantations so that we can tap into the raw verbology
11:41of the words themselves.
11:42Verbology is a form of mana that latently exists within words.
11:47But in order for a word to harbor anything, it must be used across the ages by many people until
11:53it has acquired a rich history.
11:55That's why the words we use for sorcery are old-fashioned ones that have fallen out of modern-day use.
12:01Ancient Magiscript is perfect.
12:03Do you understand, dear?
12:04I do.
12:05That makes perfect sense.
12:06Then you may get into your groups and begin.
12:08Hold on.
12:10If 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.
12:27Oh, she 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.
12:40I've already taken multiple lessons on making magic circles from a private tutor.
12:44Watch this.
12:46Now come forth.
12:47Magic circle.
12:50I see Ana has a knack for this.
12:52The radiance of her circle is much stronger.
12:55She must have a larger, innate pool of mana than everyone else.
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.
13:21Ana, extinguish 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.
13:56She stopped it.
13:57Amazing.
13:58What kind of magic was that?
13:59I just wrote that in a panic without knowing if it would work.
14:03But I guess they play pretty loose with the rules in this world.
14:08You can't mess with success!
14:11She considered it a success.
14:16My name is Josette.
14:18I 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.
14:42Lady 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.
15:05What do you mean?
15:06Well, for instance, what if she already made up her mind that she plans to fire us all?
15:10And now she's just acting nice until she delivers the bad news.
15:14Ah, you mean like how they give the livestock an extravagant meal the day before they're sent off to market?
15:20Exactly.
15:22Like 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
15:30clots, me.
15:35Oh no! I'm doomed for sure!
15:38Oh, Josette!
15:40Are you okay?
15:41Did you get hurt?
15:43She's... she's being so 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!
15:57Nobody should eat me because I want a taste good!
16:00Hmm?
16:02Knowing that certain rumors have been going around among the maids recently, combined with all the fatherly experience from raising
16:09his own daughter,
16:13Grace, aka Konzabato, more or less deduced the problem.
16:17Ah, Josette, I don't know what everyone else has been telling you lately,
16:20but I'm not going to be pawning you off anywhere, I can assure you.
16:25Really?
16:26Of course, everyone makes mistakes.
16:29And 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
16:37become a proper professional.
16:38Then I'm not going to get sold off at the market?
16:42Goodness, no, of course you're not.
16:44Wait, are 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
16:54suddenly 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?
17:04If being ruthless isn't an option, then...
17:11Josette.
17:12Huh?
17:13As it so happens, I'm already too full to take another bite.
17:17Would you mind eating these delicious treats for me instead?
17:20I'll just pamper her to the extreme!
17:23Huh?
17:26Go on, take a bite.
17:29Huh?
17:30Is this some kind of trap?
17:32But, 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 place!
17:43No, it's the best cookie in the entire world!
17:46Oh man, this is so hard!
17:49I want to 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!
18:06Where are you going, Lady Grace?
18:09Well, I was wondering if Meister Vols could perhaps fix this teapot for me.
18:14Meister Vols?
18:15Who's that?
18:17Well, I suppose that means you haven't met him yet.
18:20Meister Vols is a dwarf.
18:24He is a blacksmith my family keeps in their employ.
18:32Do you think you can fix an item like that?
18:36Can I fix it, you ask?
18:39I'm afraid that's entirely the wrong question, my lady.
18:43Huh?
18:44We dwarves prefer to phrase it another way.
18:47When can you have it fixed by?
18:49And the answer is 30.
18:50No, actually I would say 20 minutes.
18:55Yes, pardon me.
18:56A slip of the tongue.
18:58Could you start working on it right away, Meister Vols?
19:07Do you mind if I stay and watch you work on it?
19:09I won't get in the way.
19:14Whatever floats your boat.
19:22Dwarves 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.
19:50You did a superb job.
19:52Well, Shooks.
19:53It'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?
20:00Maybe you're too old to remember now.
20:03You 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.
20:16I can see it in her memories.
20:19In her youth, Grace was the type who loved watching the blacksmith and Gardner do their work.
20:25But ever since she underwent lessons on how to act as a noble,
20:29she visited them less because she felt it wasn't lady-like.
20:32She became stricter on herself and others to the point where she treated all of her servants harshly.
20:38And 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.
20:52My lady!
20:54My lady!
20:55Lady Grace!
20:57My lady, is everything okay?
21:02Uh, yes.
21:04We should be heading back soon.
21:06I appreciate your help, Meister Vals.
21:12Perhaps.
21:20Perhaps.
21:22It would be alright if I stopped by again?
21:25What a strange question to ask.
21:28This is part of your own family's estate.
21:31You're free to stop by whenever you want.
21:38Thank you, Meister.
21:40Well then, I bid you adieu.
22:16Take your body and take your heart
22:18Take your heart until you go to the heart
22:21I can sing it to you
22:26The Matsuke Samba
22:31Don't forget to sing it to you
22:33Don't forget to sing it to you
22:36Don't forget to sing it to you
22:38Don't forget to sing it to you
22:39Samba, Beaver Samba
22:42Matsuke Samba
23:12To the abacus
23:13Who knows what exactly Kinsaburo has in store
23:18If we're going to ask Master Tsuruguno for help
23:20Then you must familiarize yourselves with his magnum opus
23:23Yokai Detective Ginga
23:25Which reminds me, when the neighboring Hanabushi City
23:28Did a collaboration with the Sonic Boy Jin series
23:30They made the brilliant move of enlisting help from animation director
23:33Mr. Ken Nishisaki
23:35The people who handled the film adaptation
