The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar (百錬の覇王と聖約の戦乙女)

La, la, la, la, la.

La, la, la.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la,.

"Phalanx.

A tightly-packed formation of spearman

that was greatly effective back in the time of Ancient Greece."

What are you doing out here all alone, huh?

So late at night, no less.

Oh, I was just doing some research.

And how can you get onto me for being out here

when you're the one skinny-dipping in the dark?

Wait a minute.

So are you complaining?

It's my job to make your heart skip a beat.

I don't remember seeing that on your resume.

Now don't forget we have an important battle tomorrow.

Just promise me you won't stay up too late, okay?

It'd be a shame if our patriarch was too weary to give orders.

Don't worry.

I'll go get some sleep now.

It's funny, but I think the stars are the only thing

that haven't changed for me.

"The Oath of the Chalice."

Wait a moment. No way. Those are iron spears?

It can't be!

The battle has turned in our favor.

Excellent work, Big Brother!

You're a splendid commander as always.

The phalanx formation.

It's not like I came up with it on my own.

I'd say Alexander the Great

and Nobunaga Oda deserve the real credit.

Alexander the who?

I'm nothing but a dirty cheat.

Okay! Their forces are on the verge of breaking!

It's time to finish this!

Raise the banners! Let's get ready to charge!

It's been two years

since I was summoned here to Yggdrasil.

In this world, people will gladly kill each other

over tiny pieces of land.

Those who are weak are often oppressed and trampled upon.

Somehow in this world where I didn't even speak the language,

I managed to rise to a position of power

as the Patriarch of the Wolf Clan.

A single order from me can determine

whether somebody lives or dies.

Watch out!

Thank you, Felicia!

Wow, it never ceases to amaze

just how strong you Einherjar can be!

I think the arrow came from that direction.

Horn Clan Einherjar!

Oh, my! That's a lot of arrows.

Seriously?

Leave them to me!

Well, that wasn't much of a challenge.

You're impressive as always.

I think you'd be an awesome queen one day.

Well, seeing as you are kind of like our king,

are you trying to suggest

that perhaps you'd like to eventually marry me?

Uh...

I meant more like a Queen that you'd see in a chess game maybe.

You're always so silly!

Honestly, though, in my opinion,

that makes you even more charming.

More importantly,

if the battle has reached this far already,

the fighting on the front line must be pretty intense.

I hope Run's okay. I'm worried.

I highly doubt you need to worry about that one.

After all, she is the strongest wolf, Mánagarmr.

She should be back any minute.

SigRun of the Wolf has just defeated

the Horn Clan's commander! We're victorious!

See, what did I tell you?

There was no reason to be worried about her.

Yeah.

There you are, Father!

You okay?

You didn't get hurt or anything during the battle, did you?

I'm not even sure how I would manage to get hurt.

I'm nowhere near the front lines.

I'm much more interested to know how you are.

I'm fine, of course.

Thanks to the grace of the Goddess,

I sustained no injuries.

Behold! I have zero scratches.

Good job. That's awesome news. What do you want for a reward?

Just name your price, and it'll be all yours.

Wait. Anything I want?

Sure, I mean, if it's within my power to give.

You mean that? Okay.

Well, in that case,

I'd like to ask you for a pat on the head.

That's really all you want?

A pat on the head from you

is the greatest reward I could ever imagine!

Okay, I guess that's easy enough to do.

You should see yourself, Run.

You're just like a loyal little puppy!

Excuse me? Is my request somehow funny to you?

Nope, it's totally cool.

I wanted to ask you.

What'd you do with the Horn Clan patriarch you captured?

Oh, I meant to tell you.

I've placed her in the custody of our finest soldiers.

Right! Assemble the tents!

Prepare for peace negotiations!

This girl is the Horn Clan patriarch?

Indeed. I believe that her name is Linnea.

She's just a kid.

Hey, I may look young, but I'm still a leader!

Please, we should at least properly introduce ourselves.

My name is Yuuto.

I'm the patriarch of the Wolf Clan.

I don't like to waste time mincing words,

so I'll just come out and ask you.

Will you become my new child?

Absolutely not!

You're delusional if you think I'm going to serve

under a bunch of lowly dogs!

I'm sorry. I don't mean to laugh,

but the only delusional person here is you.

You dare mock me?

Once upon a time, we were just dogs,

but that is no longer the case.

Thanks to our beloved patriarch,

we've been reborn into something far greater.

Now, we are true wolves,

and we're more powerful than ever!

You can't be serious!

That man-child is nothing more than a frail boy!

Hold your tongue. You will not insult our patriarch.

That's enough, both of you!

Remember, this girl is the Patriarch of the Horn Clan.

You will treat her with respect.

I apologize for their conduct.

No, I'm sorry for calling you dogs.

So anyway, back to business.

Now, what were we talking about?

I had asked you to become my child.

I already told you no!

Okay, then what about becoming my little sister?

Your little sister?

That's the compromise I'm willing to make.

Unlike a child,

a younger sister or brother has different privileges,

and they aren't bound by servitude.

Sorry. I can't. I'm part of the Horn Clan.

Such a shame.

You've left me with no choice.

In that case, your city will share the same fate as Van!

You'd really slay all those innocent people

and burn it to the ground?

If you refuse my patronage, yes, I will!

Make your choice. Hurry up. I'm not a very patient man.

Fine, you win. I'll become your sister.

But only your sister, understand?

I won't be your child!

That works for me.

Father, is something the matter?

You're not feeling ill, are you?

I'm good. Just really tired.

Thank goodness!

You know, lying on the floor like that

makes you seem a lot less scary

than the infamous leader who goes around torching cities.

Of course, he's not scary.

He didn't burn anything. He's not that type of man.

Father is far too kind to behave in such a ruthless manner.

Well, it's not that I'm kind, per se.

Naive? Definitely.

But having a story that indicates differently

can sometimes limit future bloodshed,

like it did today.

For what it's worth,

I've always found your naiveté to be a very charming quality.

You should really try not

to be so hard on yourself all the time.

Thank you for saying so, Felicia.

It's only the truth.

You don't have to thank me,

especially since I'm the one who summoned you.

It's the least I can do.

Hey, wait a sec!

I respect your charming naive-uh-whatever it is, too!

Thank you as well, Run.

Oh, sure!

Okay, it's time to head back home.

Onward to Iarnvior!

Sieg patriarch! Sieg patriarch! Sieg patriarch!

It appears that you're still as popular as ever, Big Brother.
