A NETFLIX SERIES
Oh, yeah. I don't really like hats.
THE FAMILIAR OF ZERO VOL.14
-What's that? -Oh.
Takafumi brought a porno magazine to school!
Huh? I didn't.
-Give it to me. -Aah.
-Argh. Stop it! -Pervert!
Kacchan won't let him go now, that's for sure.
-Pervert! -That kid's a goner.
There are only pictures of girls in here.
-I knew it was dirty. -No!
-Totally dirty. -It's not.
-He's gonna get in trouble. -It's a young adult fantasy novel.
"A dung adult 'pantsy' novel."
You sound just like him.
-A dirty mag. Let me look at it. -Oh.
Fujimiya-san.
THE FAMILIAR OF ZERO VOL.14 AQUILEIA'S SAINT
BY NOBORU YAMAGUCHI
So this is a dirty mag.
-I guess we're not kids anymore, huh? -Hey, let's leave.
-Sleazy mag, hey? -Kacchan's done for.
Fujimiya-san.
I'm so sorry.
Fujimiya is so cool.
I know, right? You sure were something back then, Fujimiya.
Man, Kacchan was so scared of you.
UNCLE: YOU'RE FINE THE WAY YOU ARE
GET HOME
SOLD CHEAPER THAN A SCOURING PAD
Fine, whatever.
I know I was really awkward back in grade school.
But I got less awkward and way more girlie in middle school.
Look at this!
Oh!
You and Takafumi. Aren't you two adorable?
-Let me take a picture of this. -A picture?
FUNCTION - PLAY - DISPLAY - ZOOM
Um, I-- I can just send you the file if you want it.
Huh? How's that?
An email or something?
This can't do e-mail or make phone calls.
Huh?
Then how do you get in contact with Takafumi without a working phone?
I'm currently thinking about using smoke signals or flags to stay in touch.
I don't think smoke would be a good idea in the apartment.
Smoke and flags…
What is this, the Middle Ages?
Oh! Wow.
-Huh? -Hmm?
This coffee tastes amazing.
-Oh. -You noticed!
Uncle gave me 10,000 yen for my 20th birthday,
so I bought a coffee nel and some beans.
This is the first time I've had freshly-ground coffee.
It's really different.
Money? That's not a very thoughtful present.
Ten thousand yen.
-I guess you're right. -Oh.
I don't really know what young kids are into these days.
Well, it-- it's always the thought that counts, right?
Huh?
Then a GAME GEAR set with TV tuner attachment would've been okay?
No, that wouldn't have been okay.
CAN'T WATCH A THING (ANALOG BROADCAST ENDED IN 2011)
It's fine. I was really thankful for the cash.
I still have some leftover. I'll buy more beans with it.
-Oh, I'll buy something sweet then. -Huh.
A birthday present, huh?
NEW MESSAGE
-Hmm? -Aah.
A GIFT
FROM MY MIDDLE SCHOOL DAYS
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
Deleting an image from social media.
The hell! Why would you delete it?
-This could put you in a lot of danger. -Ah.
Eh? How is she in danger?
People will kill you, like socially.
This will get you canceled these days?
-Yikes. -It's not that bad.
I-- I think it's fine.
Okay, maybe it was careless.
Please stop showing it to your uncle.
THIS MONTH'S DEAL ETHIOPIAN COFFEE BEANS
Oh! Coffee beans are on sale today! I'll go get some.
Huh?
Oh.
Fujimiya.
That swimsuit picture you just sent…
it lost out to the groceries' weekly coffee beans sale.
Um. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
That picture was old. I took it way back in middle school.
I've changed a lot since then.
Freeze it!
-What happened? -Aah, the coffee.
Uh, did you get burned at all? Because I can't use any healing spells on you.
I think I may have frostbite instead.
Oh, hold on.
Spirits of fire,
turn my enemies to ash with your scorching flame--
Enough with the magic already!
Why don't you, um, hop in the shower to warm up, okay?
I'm really sorry.
I'm sure you don't want me around.
So, um, I'll be gone for two hours.
I'll leave you some of Takafumi's clothes.
That warmed me up.
Huh?
A men's button up.
I wonder if Takafumi will be into it.
Doubt it.
What if he saw me naked?
I mean, I wouldn't mind.
-He probably wouldn't react. -Uncle?
Why's the curtain…
I, uh…
If, uh-- Sorry, bye.
I'll be gone for two hours.
-Takafumi. -I'm sorry.
I try to ignore it, but honestly, Fujimiya, the truth is,
you're really just so damn cute.
I couldn't help myself, and I didn't want other people to see you.
Sorry.
I'm really happy that you looked at me like you did.
Huh?
Hmm.
Huh?
Fujimiya,
you've always been so kind to me.
-Huh? -All right.
-I'll erase it. -Erase what?
You mean you're gonna…
I hung the flag upside down.
What flag?
Takafumi, what happened?
The flag was set to emergency!
It was?
Oh, I used the flag to signal my uncle to come home.
The spirits inform him.
DANGER - COME HOME - NORMAL
So, you were serious about the flags and the smoke?
-Uncle. -Huh?
Listen, I walked in on her changing earlier.
And, ooh, I feel bad.
-Please erase the memory. -What!
Oh, okay. I'll do it quick.
Spirits of memory, deliver unto oblivion--
Please, stop!
Don't get your memories erased, idiot.
I really don't mind that you saw me.
Fujimiya.
-Thank you so much. -Just cut it out!
You haven't changed.
You're still such a kind person.
Will you stop it?
Just don't try to make this a heartwarming episode.
-Fujimiya… -New coffee beans?
-…trying to spare my feelings. -You guys want coffee?
-Oh, that Fujimiya. -I'm just gonna show you again!
She's still the same lovely person I remember.
-I'm really happy to see her again. -Listen to me, idiot!
And I'm really happy I get to be her friend.
Yup, her really good friend.
LIGHT - DARKNESS - SWORD
HOROHORO PEACH 3% ALCOHOL
-Uh, uh-uh. -Huh?
-Uh. -Fujimiya, you're still a minor.
Actually, I turn 20 today.
What? Happy birthday. Congrats.
Thank you very much.
You left when you were what, 17, right? So, you're 34?
-So thirtyish? -Huh?
Huh?
Yeah, I missed my birthday so I'm 35.
-Oh, I see. -So, fortyish.
Huh?
"Thirtyish" and "fortyish" both became popular slangs pretty recently.
(VARIOUS THEORIES EXIST)
Well, dang it!
I would've planned something if I knew.
Oh, no. There's really no need for you to do that.
Then allow me to gift you my favorite motto.
-"A crisis is… -Huh?
…an opportunity!"
Just when you think you're done for,
and you feel the negative energy flowing toward you,
don't worry, you can turn things around by changing that energy's direction.
That's why it's important to fight like hell until the bitter end.
No matter how tough it is, you'll do it.
That's the long version, I hope you both lock it away in your hearts.
That's a very interesting motto.
Thank you for sharing.
"A crisis is an opportunity."
Oh, man. You feel the weight of it when a famous YouTuber says it, huh?
Are you poking fun at me?
-You scamp. -Oh.
But this is so cool, you can both drink alcohol now.
Icuras elran.
This was the first time I ever drank.
I had just turned 20, I think.
-This is 20? -This is 20?
Oh, yeah. All the other footage has been from before this,
so I was a teen at the time.
Teen?
Look at how young I am, I've gotten so old.
-Uh. Yeah, man. -You sure have.
He looks the same!
I can't tell the difference.
-It's the tsundere girl! -Oh.
She was there too?
I guess I remember meeting her the next morning.
Hold on!
Isn't this that really pretty woman that your uncle pretended to be?
That's her. She's my uncle's stalker.
-You've gotta be kidding me. -Yeah, for some reason it's actually true.
-Hmm? Are you talking about Land Stalker? -Be quiet, Uncle.
Look at you.
There are plenty of seat--
What was all that the other day?
You put up the barrier again in Luvaldram.
Where did you learn how to do that?
Here, try this.
Hmm.
That tastes pretty good.
I can get you more,
if you don't tell anyone that I, uh, broke the barrier.
-Huh? -I would be very grateful.
Huh?
Hey, why are you so strong, orc face?
It's because I've worked really hard
and practiced magic all by myself.
I'm not asking about that.
When I met you, three years ago…
You killed the legendary venom dragon,
without any training, clearly.
That was the legendary venom dragon?
Yes, idiot! That was the legendary venom dragon.
-Oh. -You see?
How did you take it on without even knowing that?
It should've killed you. Idiot, orc face. It--
What should I have done? I just wanted to save you.
You--
You're not kidnapping all the other girls you've been saving, are you?
Uh-huh. There was a girl when I killed the legendary blaze dragon.
The blaze dragon?
The god-freezing sword?
The Ice clan entrusted you, of all people, with it?
-No. I actually didn't need the sword. -No way!
The legendary blaze dragon is covered by inferno dragon scales,
so its scales can only be penetrated using ice.
There's other ways.
I used fire.
While you're attacking it with fire,
you can deal physical damage with your sword.
Huh? How did you…
I thought up creative tactics.
You don't believe me?
Here's some bottled inferno fire I took.
You know, the dragon will be reborn if you open that up.
For real?
But you can just beat it again.
You're the great, fearless, orc face.
You're wrong there.
The reason you can't win is because you've decided it's impossible.
Huh? What'd you say?
Crisis is opportunity.
Huh?
It's my favorite motto.
Any dangerous situation can be turned on its head with just a little change.
That's why it's important to keep at it,
without giving up, no matter what the odds are.
That's pretty profound. Where's that motto from?
Puyo Puyo's strategy guide.
Uh?
In Puyo-Puyo, even when the screen is mostly covered,
if you think and bide your time until the very end,
it's an opportunity to pull off…
Of course he learnt this from a video game strategy guide.
-Let me explain. -I should've known.
This makes me wanna fire it up.
You wanna play Puyo Puyo on the Saturn?
Yeah, all right. You're gonna be bored.
And he's already lost interest.
Hey, do you have plans?
I booked a room at the inn. Wanna come?
What?
You think I'm just gonna go straight to your room with you?
Finally showing your orc--
Let go of me.
Why are--
-Let's go. -Oh.
Uh, wait, that wasn't--
-I can't. -Is he?
Does he get super horny when he drinks?
Hey, you sure you don't wanna play?
No, we're fine. Play something single player. Hey, here.
Look!
Burning Rangers.
Without a SEGA 3D controller?
Argh.
Nicely done.
Hey.
Stop it. You're leaning against me.
I wanna thank you.
I'm glad you were here tonight to help me through a hard time.
Huh?
You've been having a hard time?
Yeah, pretty bad.
But I had you with me.
It's the second floor.
Okay.
You really think that I've helped you that much?
This is it.
And the key…
You're such a mess. Well, fine.
I guess I'll just have to be here to support your stupid orc face forever.
No. This is far enough actually.
Thanks so much!
I could barely make it, I was so drunk, you know?
Thanks for bringing me home. Now you have a good night, okay.
Takafumi, it's too hard without the controller.
Oh, I went to bed?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Let me skip to morning. Here.
-God, my head hurts. -Orc face?
-Sleepyhead, what are we gonna do today? -Oh. Why are you even here?
I was gonna head out to beat the death trap labyrinth.
-She-- She's really persistent. Huh? -Look, she's been crying.
Yeah, it's not that interesting.
-Fujimiya? -No way in hell I'm watching this sober.
I get it. Argh!
Go on you! Get to chugging.
HEALING LEMON SOUR ALCOHOL 5%
Wait, I thought you couldn't drink.
Yeah, man.
It's nothing.
Oh crap! I'm gonna puke.
-Time to go. -No, no. You are staying to clean this up.
Oh, all right. I can take you home then.
No, really, that's okay. It's not that far!
Wind spirits.
Huh?
I'm so dizzy.
I mean it's hard to fly without the 3D controller.
Takafumi!
He doesn't know the difference between real life and a video game.
Uncle!
I should've known. Uncle can't hold his liquor.
I am never giving him a drink again!
No more drunk flying!
Stop that! Uncle!
DEATH TRAP DUNGEON
Are you okay? This is why I told you not to come.
Hold on! It's poison.
-It's fine. -I will suck it out.
Ah. Mmm.
Can you breathe okay? We need to take your armor off!
Huh?
Wait. You can keep the bottoms on here, okay?
How are you feeling? Does it hurt?
What can I do for you right now?
Can I get some privacy here?
You fool! I won't leave you in a weakened state.
What is it? Is your clothing too tight, huh? Huh?
Orc face…
-Hold on. -All right.
I'm sorry.
Sorry for what?
It's more of an aphrodisiac than a poison.
-Don't you think? -But it's actually real.
Oh, Uncle. Your screen thingy went out.
Oh.
Yeah, I can't read the memory
while the Elf has that head ornament equipped.
I can't believe she went so far to hide the antidote from me.
I knew she was stingy.
Now you know how scary poison can be.
Even that strong Elf almost died--
Huh?
You wouldn't happen to have any of that poison for Takafumi, would ya?
What the hell? Why would you want that?
