Protagonist Returns From Fantasy World Of Granbahamal After 17 Years

Yousuke regrets Guardian Heroes ranking and Takafumi reunites with Sumika

Yousuke buys the final SEGA magazine and is disappointed that his favorite game, Guardian Heroes, ranked 197th while a Bishoujo game topped the list. He explains his dislike for RPGs due to confusing stories, recounting how he failed to cure an Ice Witch named Mabel for an ice sword, instead killing a fire dragon and abandoning her. On New Years Eve, Mabel visits Yousuke, impressed by his bravery. Misinterpreting her desire to overcome cowardice, Yousuke encourages her to become a NEET and rejects her ice sword offer because he dislikes cold things. Meanwhile, Takafumi reunites with Sumika Fujimiya, whom he has not seen since childhood. Sumika sees Yousuke chanting spells and assumes he is exploiting Takafumi, but Takafumi remains oblivious, believing they are merely friends. Infuriated by their dynamic, Sumika resolves to intervene.

Yousuke impersonates Elga to help Takafumi while managing his YouTube subscriber crisis

Yousuke faces the threat of losing YouTube ad revenue unless he reaches 1000 subscribers. Takafumi identifies rudeness in comments as the cause of declining viewership. Yousuke recalls destroying and repairing a barrier in Luvaldram, a secret Elga hid in exchange for a date, which Yousuke fled fearing blackmail. Sumika begins visiting the flat, prompting Yousuke to transform into Elga and pose as Takafumi’s aunt to offer romantic advice. Takafumi exposes the ruse and demands a new video. Yousuke projects memories showing Takafumi views Sumika as a bully, contradicting her belief in a sweet childhood friendship. The resulting Elga video gains 200,000 views rapidly, pleasing Takafumi with ad revenue but disappointing Yousuke regarding audience preferences.

Sumika’s Birthday Revelations and Yousuke’s Secret Past

Sumika feels depressed while watching Takafumi’s childhood memories that depict her as a vulgar tomboy. During shopping, Yousuke accidentally freezes Sumika with ice magic. After Yousuke leaves, Takafumi returns and sees Sumika naked. Expecting attraction, she is disappointed when he apologizes by asking Yousuke to erase his memory. Sumika stops him, but Takafumi assumes she is just being a considerate friend. Sumika reveals it is her 20th birthday, prompting Yousuke to share his own 20th birthday memory. He recounts walking Elga to his room at a festival, but the footage shows he was too drunk to walk and used her as a crutch before locking her outside. The next morning, Elga’s red eyes suggest she cried all night, yet she declares she will join Yousuke in dungeon raiding. A subsequent memory shows Elga hitting Yousuke with a poisoned arrow and using a magic item to prevent him from remembering her actions. Takafumi and Sumika realize the poison was an aphrodisiac and that Elga used the item to hide her satisfaction of lust.

Yousuke Recalls Mabel's Assassination Attempt and the Truth About His Wished Power

Yousuke recalls a past incident where Mabel attempted to assassinate him after losing her purpose as a sword guardian. She had left her village to become an adventurer and cure her heartbreak, but Yousuke’s suggestion to sell his gift ring enraged her, leading to a fight. Elga intervened to freeze Yousuke, prompting Mabel to reveal that her Ice Clan was founded 400 years ago by a reincarnated Japanese Samurai who wished for the Ice Sword to kill God. Takafumi questions if Yousuke also received a wish, so they rewind to his arrival. A pre-recorded message in Mandarin Chinese reveals Yousuke accidentally wished only to understand the language of Granbahamal, wasting his chance for power. He uses this ability to communicate with adventurers who mistake him for an intelligent orc. Disillusioned, Takafumi and Sumika stop watching to get coffee.
