Uchi no Ko no Tame naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru kamo Shirenai

That's ten... no, fifteen to go.

Aw, damn it...

That explains why no one else wanted to take this job.

Letau Dale...

Leduuro hikulaes. (Let your voice ring out.)

I accepted only to keep me going until my next job,

but now I'm regretting it.

A kid?

No, hang on... I doubt there'd be a village this deep in the woods.

She's a devil?

The Young Man and the Little Girl Meet.

Are you hungry?

What are you saying?

I don't understand.

Oh, yeah, if she's a devil...

Closer... come... need... this?

That didn't work.

She understood?

A broken horn?

Here. Eat.

I have no idea how to say this in her language.

Eat!

I can have it?

It's fine. Eat up.

You must've been starving.

I've heard that when devils commit a crime,

one of their horns is broken off, and they're banished...

But a kid like this, by herself?

No, maybe her family was banished with her.

You... exist with... guardian person?

Ragu said not to stay too close.

Because wild animals would be coming.

Not to stay... close?

Wild animals... not to...

Well, once you finish eating, you can get back to—

Come on.

Where are you taking me?

Ragu is over there.

What? Over there?

But he said not to go over there.

From the shape of the horns, that's a male devil.

Was he her father?

He said that animals would come,so to stay away. That it's too dangerous.

Animals, again?

And that you couldn't...?

Probably something like, "You can't stay near my body,

because it's going to attract wild animals,"

if I had to guess.

And you were in this dark forest alone,

because you were doing as you were told.

Damn it!

Are you okay?

I can't turn a blind eye after all this.

Guniftos gunolev...

Tiela Dale leduuro.

Mofusnaato imu elize. (Shift as I see fit.)

We can at least bury him.

Entomb, ground, dead, person.

That more or less looks like a proper grave.

Couldn't manage a name for the marker, but...

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Well, I've come this far.

Once we get back to Kreuz...

My name... Dale.

Dale?

You, name?

Latina.

Latina?

You, come, with, me?

So light!

We'd get back after sunset if I made you walk, after all.

Where are we going?

Don't mention it.

I've got luggage that weighs more than you.

That's Kreuz.

The nobles live in the northern district, and the commoners in the south.

That includes me, of course.

Dale? I thought you were hunting magic beasts.

I was. Job's done.

Here's the toll for two.

Who's the girl?

I'm escorting her out of the forest.

Seems like her father died.

And she's a devil?

It won't be a problem if she's under my care, right?

Yeah, you should be able to handle it.

Go on.

Pretty lively, right?

This is the second-biggest city in the entire nation of Laband, y'know.

Dale?

Not being able to communicate is as tough as I thought it'd be.

All things considered, going through the front door would probably end up pretty annoying.

Here you are!

Hey, Rita! You're looking finer than usual today!

Silly compliments won't get you a discount.

Rita, can I get a refill?

I could use some more, too!

Sure thing!

Hey, is my order ready?

One sec!

Kenneth, are those fritters ready?

They're coming right up.

Kenneth, you there?

Hey, you're back.

What's up? Why are you using the back door?

And who is that?!

I'll tell you the whole story later, but...

I found her.

You can't pick up a kid like you would a dog or cat.

Is it okay if I use some hot water for now?

Yeah, go right ahead.

I'll do that, then.

Kenneth, is it done yet?

Yeah, I'm getting it now!

Latina.

Come here.

Eta! Eta!

Come on, stop fussing!

Eta eta botus desalabun!

I'm just gonna wash you!

There.

That's looking a lot better.

See? Like day and night.

Dale...

I heard you were causing trouble again.

An illegitimate daughter?!

I just turned 18! When would I have had the time?

I found her in the forest.

The forest?

There was a dead devil who was probably her father.

Old clothes of mine.

They're a little big, though.

Dale?

This is Rita.

Rita.

Rita?

Dale, Rita?

That's right.

Rita, Latina.
