May I Ask for One Final Thing? (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

Kobushi no Omoibito (Sandobaggu) ni Aini mo Yoroshii Deshou ka

1
I thank you again for
inviting me this evening,
Lord Zatharin.
Y-Yes, ma'am
See that you wear this.
I hope we're both able to
make favorable purchases.
Though it will be the final time.
Leo.
If Vankish's Redsky Dragoons
really are involved in this,
it's all the more reason to approve
Scarlet's undercover presence.
The auction is close.
We can probably get about ten
of our CIO agents into the auction.
Naturally, they will be forced to surrender
their arms within the auction venue.
Those we send in will be skilled combatants,
but only if they're armed.
Even if they use magic, they will likely
struggle to take Godwin into custody.
But your sister will remain
fully capable, even without weapons.
And if she can lay out everyone behind
the slave auctions, including Godwin
her latest bloody nickname will likely be
The Kingdom's Iron-Fisted Savior.
MAY I GO TO SEE MY FISTS'
BELOVED ONE (PUNCHING BAG)?
The palace knights are in place.
Lord Leonardo.
Well done.
When Prince Julius gives
the signal, we'll enter.
Sir!
Everything's ready.
Now, if my sister can
just hold to her word
I'll allow you to go in, but please
avoid unnecessary fisticuffs.
All right?
Of course.
Thank you for your kindness, Brother.
It's no use. My stomach hurts!
Maybe I should have called it off.
Please be good, Scarlet!
What kind of slave are
you in search of today?
I've heard there will be
an avian auctioned off.
I had so hoped to see one!
I'm going to look for an elf
to give my nephew.
I want to run a show where combat slaves
fight for the crowd's amusement!
But the crown jewel of the auction
is no doubt the beastkin—
I beg your pardon.
Of course.
That voice sounded familiar.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I thank you for your patience!
The auction will now commence!
Yes! I'm going to get
that slave I had my eye on!
I dipped into taxpayer money for this!
Everyone here seems so well prepared!
I fear that the money I brought
won't be enough.
Oh, please.
I heard you seduced Palmian priests
and took them for quite a tidy sum!
Now, let us introduce our first item!
Behold, a rare one-winged avian!
Fifty gold!
Sixty-five!
One hundred gold!
Do we have any other bids?
Hey.
As there are no more bids,
sold for 100 gold!
Aren't you the mission commander?
What are you doing here?
I came to check on you.
Did you find Godwin?
Not yet.
Though I have a few ideas
of where he might be.
Now, our next item for bid!
The palace knights are ready
and waiting for my signal.
We'll start the bidding at thirty gold!
If you don't hurry,
they'll take your target away.
- Forty!
- Prince Julius.
- Sixty!
- I propose a trade.
- I propose a trade.
- Seventy!
I intend to thoroughly
clobber Minister Godwin,
so could you please tell the knights
to hold off a while longer?
Nothing would delight me more.
Watching you punch that fool is the reason
I joined the undercover team.
Yes, I had a feeling.
Now, if I were to do as you ask
what would you give me in exchange?
I shall vow unwavering loyalty to the crown
and kingdom for the rest of my life.
No. Not to the crown.
Vow your loyalty to me.
I'm sure it will come
to the same thing, in time.
You are next in line for the throne.
I can't wait. Swear it now.
That is my condition.
Then Yes, I swear.
Can I trust you on that?
That's not fair.
You've practically coerced me.
That's nothing new, is it?
This black-hearted prince.
We'll start the bidding at twenty!
Thirty!
So, where is Godwin?
Up there, overlooking the hall.
Then it's time for the show
A once-in-a-lifetime pummeling
spectacle by Scarlet El Vandimion.
You're free to be in the audience,
though I may go off-script and slug
a certain golden-haired lord as well,
so I would advise caution.
Now, I'm coming to see you
The one my fists have longed for
Their beloved punching bag.
Mama! Please don't go!
Chill out, kid.
Mama!
Don't struggle. There's no point.
Saint Diana. Please save us, Saint Diana!
Shut the hell up.
The saint doesn't give a damn
about the prayers of slaves.
Don't worry.
You and your mom will both be safe.
Counting on you, Scarlet!
You made sure to put
the innocent soldiers to sleep.
Your control is excellent.
Your compliments fail to please me when you
beat me out for first place on our magic exam.
You still haven't gotten over that?
Who the hell're you?
Appetizers before the main dish
Let's make a party of it!
Now, ladies and gentlemen!
During this intermission, please enjoy
Raldolth's Fifth Symphony,
"Dance of the Roses"!
What's going on?
At last we meet
my dear punching bag.
Scarlet El Vandimion?!
Y-You
How dare you show your face before me!
It's a pleasure to see you
this evening, Lord Heine.
Has your convalescence gone well?
The impudence!
Father, I'll handle this!
Lightning, descend from heaven
and strike down my enemy!
With royal authority, I issue this decree:
That spell is not permitted.
My spell didn't activate?!
Th-That ring
The Royal Seal, which can cancel
spells cast by anyone in the kingdom?!
The fact that you can use it means
Is it possible are you
Prince Julius?!
N-No! There's no way
Prince Julius could be here!
I-Indeed! If that's him, we're ruined!
You can't fool us, you impostor!
Th-They're right!
Call him, then!
My!
Is that you, Donovan?
Go, Donovan!
Kill both Scarlet and the impostor prince!
You're late.
I was wondering where
my bodyguard got off to
Sigurd.
You're the one who lost me
so you could go off on your own.
So you're the meat sack
I bumped into earlier.
"Meat sack"?
It never ends!
Everyone, get him!
Get away, both of you!
Wh-What are you doing, Lady Scarlet?
Lord Sigurd.
Those are my meat sacks. Not for you.
I permit you to fight only
that lycanthrope. Is that clear?
The corrupt nobles are for me alone.
Have I made myself clear?
No objections!
Next, Tibonne's Third Symphony,
"The Beautiful Maiden"!
Wh-What the
We never got the signal,
so I came in to check, and
Father! Mother!
Your daughter has finally
stooped to mass murder!
I didn't kill anyone.
I used the back of my sword.
How?! You're using your fists!
Your whole body is the blade!
Not good! The patrons are escaping!
I don't think we can hold
the knights back any longer.
Wait! I have yet to clobber Minister Godwin.
Leo, go after Godwin.
This was not our agreement.
Worry not.
I'll see to it that Godwin
is clobbered by your hand alone.
I'm not sure I like the sound
of this conversation
Leo, I have exchanged vows with Scarlet.
Vows?!
Yes. So I must honor my word to her.
Are you serious?
You and Prince Julius have exchanged vows?
It's true.
I have sworn my life to Prince Julius.
Incredible
Oh, Scarlet!
And here I'd given up on you ever
finding that kind of happiness!
Father, Mother
I don't understand your reaction,
but I'm glad to see you happy, my brother.
They're both way too clueless.
Release.
Prince Julius's signal!
Go in, men!
For my sister, whose only joy was
in striking others, to marry so well
No! I must pursue Godwin.
Enchanted eye that sees
one thousand leagues
Clairvoyance!
I see him.
He's with his son, Heine.
They're heading for the roof
via the central stairway.
Wait.
Can it be
There's a dragon approaching the roof!
So Godwin really was working
with the Redsky Dragoons.
If he escapes to Vankish,
he'll be out of our reach.
This is the basement.
The roof is the fifth floor.
Even at our fastest,
can we catch them in time?
Scarlet, why are you removing your shoes?
To give it my all, of course.
Elder Brother Leo.
Look after Nanaka
and the others, I pray you.
Acceleration: Three Burst.
Scarlet!
Blessing of Chronoa: Acceleration.
By speeding up time around me,
I can move faster than a normal human.
I beg your pardon.
Triple speed certainly
takes a toll on the body.
But I can't allow such finely
aged meat to escape me.
We have to get away, Father!
Yes!
You wretch!
A common soldier like you should show
deference to men of high station like us!
Get down from that dragon
and meet us on the ground!
Human garbage.
Rex, do it.
I fear I can't have that.
Heine!
Good evening to you, Minister Godwin.
I missed you in our time apart.
Scarlet El Vandimion.
To stop Rex's tail with a single hand
You are magnificent!
It appears I've fallen in love with you.
Marry me.
I must refuse.
No mischief, now.
Not only did you land a blow on my face,
you knocked Rex out with one strike!
I've fallen for you even harder, Scarlet!
Are you delusional?
Accept my courtship!
Kindly withdraw it.
Those gorgeous blue eyes!
Like a jewelry box containing
all the worlds gems—
That is enough.
A woman who can kick like that
Even in Vankish, prized for
its warriors, I've never met one.
I beg of you, come with me!
You are certainly persistent.
Are you certain it is I on whom
your attention should lie?
Did you not come here to slay
the incompetent Godwin?
What?!
First Prince of the Vankish Empire,
Alflame Rare Vankish?
You're correct.
I came here to kill these men.
Y-You impudent brat!
I gave you all that information,
and now you're going to cut me loose?!
You promised to make me
a minister in Vankish!
You already sold out one kingdom.
You really thought I'd trust you
with the fate of another?
What?!
Graciously accept your traitor's death.
You will not deny me my meat.
Hardly ladylike to show your legs like that
But
That makes me like you even more, Scarlet.
And it's hardly gentlemanly
to seize a lady's leg.
What a lovely smile.
Have you decided to accept my love?
This man
You seem to hold your
endurance in high esteem.
I suppose I do.
Metallization, the blessing gifted me
by the God of Steel, Meteorr,
gives me an invulnerable body
that can withstand any physical attack.
It seems you have a blessing as well
But you cannot defeat me
with bare-fisted blows.
I would ask you to understand, step back,
and let me dispose of that scum.
I beg your pardon, Highness,
but I know a way to defeat you.
What is that?
Stand-up grappling?!
That's a very primitive
and effective
way of dealing damage
my lady!
I thank you for the compliment.
Are you finished resisting?
Yes. You appear tired as well, Highness.
Oh, please.
I'm perfectly fi—
What?
What a relief.
Had the contents of your head
been made of steel as well,
I truly would have had no recourse.
Wait, has she
A concussion?!
To think you'd bring me
to my knees like this
This kingdom of weaklings is unworthy of you!
Will you come with me?
I've grown weary of our dance.
Return to your kingdom at once!
Acceleration: Three Burst.
I haven't given up!
Well, then.
The moment I've longed
for is finally here
Minister Godwin.
W-W-W-Wait a minute!
I'm sorry for trying to kill you!
My fool of a son came
crying to me, so I had to!
And I'm sorry for using Terenezza to
break up your engagement to Prince Kyle!
Terenezza?
You knew her before?
I had no idea.
Oh, well, I didn't mean
I see.
So Terenezza had your aid.
Does that mean you instigated
her meeting with Kyle?
That you're the reason
I was humiliated at the ball?
No!
I just went along with her plan!
Y-Yes. I can give you useful information.
Let me be, and I'll tell you!
I know who Terenezza really is.
She's not actually from this world.
Sh-She was brought here
Reincarnated from another world
by the power of a goddess!
MAY I CLOBBER THIS ASSHOLE PRINCE?
