EP 02Demon Lord, Vanish into the Sunset!Now playingChosen by the Hero's Sword, Yusha finally becomes the Hero she longed to be.

EP 03Quest Practical!25 minAdventurers take on work known as quests, and receive rewards for their resolution.

Still, even then, they could not escape their destiny. And so, it came from the sea... (Excerpt from "It Came From the Sea - Strange Tales of the Hero -")

Thus, the Hero and the Royal Family become inseparable, and so the Princess of Naral Island's Royal Family appeared before Yusha's party as well. Now, what was it that she hoped to achieved with her visit? (Excerpt from "A Statesman's Guide to the Merits and Demerits of Supporting the Hero")

EP 06One Room, 100 Square Feet, Demon Lord Included!25 minThe Hero's teacher was the renowned Mao.

While Mao took it upon herself to act the villain, hoping that she might raise them into a splendid Hero's Party, one day she learned how her students truly felt. Yes, it was on the day she fell ill that-- (Excerpt taken from "I Raised the Hero -How to Raise a Hero as Told by Their Teacher-")

Yet while she spent time furthering her acquaintance with not only Yusha, but Seira and Mei as well, she had quite some difficulty with Fai. Perhaps the Princess and a wild child from the woods simply came from worlds that were too different? Yet one day, those two found an opportunity to go on a journey together. Princess Rona hoped to use that chance to deepen their bonds, however... (Excerpt from "The Princess of the Royal Palace and the Wilds")

EP 08My Yusha-sama!25 minSince ancient times the Demon Lord has kidnapped a princess to lay in wait for the Hero at Demon Lord Castle. However, records show that these princesses responded to their kidnappings in many different ways, with some falling in love with the Demon Lord as they spent time with them, some hitting it off with the Demon Lord and joining them in their quest for world conquest, and some who tried to defeat the Demon Lord before the Hero arrived. So -- what fate awaited Princess Rona when she was kidnapped by the Demon Lord after its sudden appearance? (Excerpt from "Demon Lords Love Princesses?")

EP 09Secret Cartado Festival!25 minNaral Island is a mysterious island that's hard to call either small or large, and there are many unexplored regions sleeping within. Yet the Hero's sworn friend and famous supreme Cartado Master, Mather Enderstto, was another who was intrigued by such unexplored regions. However, she ultimately managed to discover one. Yes, the forbidden land where the secrets of Cartado lie... That was the beginning of her adventure into the taboo. (Excerpt from "Top 1000 Unexplored Regions of Naral Island")

EP 10Snowy Mountain Dream!25 minA Hero's Party always needs someone to maintain harmony amongst the group in addition to their leader. For example, in Yusha's party, Seira - or Ellenoar Seiran - served in this role. With her diligence and common sense, Seira was a key pillar of their otherwise freewheeling party. This particular tale is one of the priest Seira's lonely battle as she stood boldly against a threat that could have ruined their party...
