There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her (2026) s01e01 Episode Script
I Tried Confessing
This is it The Demon Lord's castle.
Are you ready, everyone?
Yes.
We've found all of the Demon Lord's
and his lackeys' abilities.
Yuga, I'm sure you can bring us to victory.
Yeah.
Let's take down the Demon Lord together!
I'll do my best!
Here we go!
You're here.
So, you're the heroes trying to
bring down the Demon Lord, eh?
Alas, I bring horrible news.
You won't be able to get to him
before going past me
What a feeble spell.
Is that all you've got, Hero's Party?
I'll support you!
Take this! Excalibur!
Endless Dark!
Is this it?
Oh, shoot
I hit a jackpot!
Should we finish them off, Captain?
I told you to stay hidden!
We came out after it went silent.
Captain, you've been gawking at her.
What's gotten into you?
Pervert.
Hush, you fool! I was just thinking
what to do with these guys!
Wait, aren't we killing them?
Nah
Just throw them outside.
There's a human village
not far from here, right?
Just drop them near there.
Roger that.
What a drag
You'll get written up again
if we do this, you know?
Just get to it already.
Fine
Goodbye, my angel
ONE MONTH LATER
ONE MONTH LATER
Yoki.
Those heroes never learn their lesson
and keep on challenging you,
each ending with their defeat
How many times has it been now?
Thirteen to be exact, Lord Zaekhil.
To think someone like you could
knock them out every time
Those heroes are really nothing
to be scared about, I suppose.
Yoki.
Why don't you kill the heroes?
Milord.
A bunch of rascals like them
are not even worth killing.
If you're not killing them
Then, I shall leave the job
to your subordinates.
No! They won't stand
a chance against the heroes!
Besides
No, I'll do it, Milord.
If I spare the heroes again next time,
their lives will be in danger.
I'm just too overpowered myself.
Those heroes actually have
the power to defeat the Demon Lord.
Besides, even as we speak,
the world is going to be under
the Demon Lord's control
Let's settle it next time, for sure.
I'll absolutely bring you down today!
Let's go, Raven!
Yuga! Knight!
I'll heal them!
You deal with him, Mikana!
Why, you!
What a monster
Fight me all you want, it's futile!
Do you want to be engulfed
by the jet black darkness again?
Cecilia, need your support!
Got it!
Take this!
Holy Sword, Excalibur!
Say, heroes
Don't you realise it?
That you can't win against me.
So what?!
We have to bring down
the Demon Lord at all costs!
In that case
Leave that priestess here.
Then, I'll let the rest of you pass.
You want to go forward, right?
I refuse!
Yuga!
We should accept the deal.
We don't stand a chance against him.
No way
I can't!
Think about it!
He had every chance to kill us,
but he never did!
But, that doesn't mean we can get away
without a scratch too this time!
One priestess or the salvation of the world
You know the answer, right?
Go on ahead!
I'll be fine!
Cecilia
We'll come pick you up right after
we've defeated the Demon Lord!
There's the door.
We'll be back for you, I promise!
Why did you make me stay?
Well
My power can't even
put a dent on you, though?
But, I'll still fight till the end!
Holy Laser!
Wait, timeout!
Hear me out.
So, my name is Yoki
Why would you introduce yourself
to someone you're about to kill?
No! If I wanted to kill you,
I would've done so right from the get-go.
What is it, then?
I fell in love with you at first sight!
Please go out with me!
Huh?!
Whaaaaat?!
Um Err
I'm sorry!
What?!
All is hopeless
I'll just kill myself
Uh, are you okay?
You're not fooling me
by pretending to be wide open!
Holy
Why aren't you resisting?
I've been rejected by you,
so I no longer have regrets.
Don't be serious!
I am serious.
Even if I'm alive,
all I can do is stay in this room.
I'm only allowed to go outside
to attack human villages and towns.
But, I don't want to do that.
You're lying!
All demons are cruel
Even the Demon Lord
is trying to destroy humanity!
I may look like a demon,
but I was reincarnated from another world.
Reincarnated? What do you mean?
That means, I'm human inside.
You? Human?
Then, why are you
serving the Demon Lord?
With your power, you could
Yeah, I could defeat him.
But, if I do that,
I'll surely be appointed as
the next Demon Lord.
No, thanks.
As a result, I just stayed cooped up,
unable to do anything, every single day.
I thought I'd put an end
to such a pathetic life.
That's when you showed up.
It was love at first sight.
This past month
While it was for a short time,
I felt alive for the first time as a demon.
So, I don't care anymore.
You should.
You have power.
If you say you have a human heart inside,
then wield that power for humanity.
It's still not too late now.
Let's go to the outside world with me!
KINGDOM OF CLARINESS
Hero Yuga and peers.
You have done well
in defeating the Demon Lord,
who was intent on harassing people
and destroying the world,
and come back alive and well.
I, King Darts Orta Clariness,
of the Kingdom of Clariness, hereby declare.
Celebrating the return of the heroes
who have ended the war,
today marks the beginning of a three-day
period designated as our nation's Victory Day.
My dear subjects!
Let us honour the heroic deeds of our saviours!
There's the royal capital
where Cecilia lives.
All right
Yeooowch!
We did it, Yuga!
Yeah.
It's a good thing we got to save the world.
All thanks to you, Cecilia!
I'm glad you're okay!
Y-Yes
The front desk
Excuse me.
I'd like to register as a member
of the Adventurer's Guild.
What's the procedure, again?
Does this guy know his job?
There it is.
Fill in the form.
Name and age.
It's a liability waiver form
for when you die on the job.
Done.
Yoki, 21 years old.
Okay.
Here's your guild card.
You'll start at F-rank.
It goes all the way up to S.
Complete commissions to build
your rep and go to the next rank.
Well, it'll take most people about
a month to go from F to E, though.
There's your explanation.
It's a pain to have to reissue the card,
so don't lose it.
Especially in the next three days.
Three days?
The other employees are
taking a leave for the festival.
I don't want to have
to deal with administration.
How much of a slacker is he?
Name's Clayman.
I wish you good luck.
Sure, thanks.
I've earned a lot on my first day.
I should increase my rank
and grind for more cash.
And once I have a stable life
I'll just confess to Cecilia again.
I'll definitely realise my love!
Hey, have you heard of the rumours
of a guy ranking up crazy fast?
The heck?
Yo, Clayman.
I'm taking these commissions.
Why are you coming to me?!
There's a beautiful lady over there!
I've grown attached to you, Sir.
You work surprisingly fast, too.
Never mind that, who are you?
I'm just your normal novice adventurer.
Don't be stupid!
Someone who's ranked up
from F to D in a mere week
can't call himself normal.
Oh, no! Did I work too hard?
Oh, well. It's not like you're doing
anything illegal even if we investigate you.
Yeesh
The front desk isn't my job
Could you cancel those commissions?
Huh?
What?
If it isn't the young lady.
What are you doing
Ssh.
Whoops.
Does he know her?
L-Long time no see.
We need to talk.
Could you come with me to my house?
Huh?
Your house?!
Lady Cecilia's coming back home.
Who's that?!
- Hey!
- Why, you
So big
Hey!
Who goes there?
Why were you in Lady Cecilia's carriage?!
Hey, cut it out!
Why, you ask
What are you doing?!
He's my friend!
Please excuse us, Milady!
- A boy friend?!
- Come on, that's enough.
No way!
Friend, huh
I'm sorry.
I meant to see you earlier, but
Don't sweat it.
I was having fun being an adventurer.
I'm surprised you could find me there.
You've become the talk of the town.
People said a novice adventurer
ranked up to D in a flash.
So, while it's good that
I've finally found you
Is there a problem?
I beg you.
Could you quit
the Adventurer's Guild?
What?
I'm sorry for saying this out of nowhere.
Can you tell me why?
Okay.
As you know,
the Hero defeated the Demon Lord.
But, it's not like all the threats
in the world are gone.
Well, the Demon Lord's death doesn't mean
the death of all demons and monsters.
That's also true,
but the human nations may start
a struggle for supremacy now.
The signs are already showing up.
Signs?
Our hero has received piles
of engagement offers from various nations.
The Hero, huh? Yeah, he's good-looking
and seems popular to begin with
That's not entirely true.
Status, money, and marriage
Many nations use every means
..at their disposal to gather
military strength and manpower.
So, they're trying to
make him a pawn of war?
You have ranked up at a pace
unbelievable to normal people.
With that strength, you'll surely be one of
the handful S-rank adventurers in the nation.
But, once you do,
all eyes will be on you.
If you get scouted, and suddenly
reveal your demon power
You might be used as a tool
by that nation to conquer the world,
or maybe
They'd antagonise me,
and my second life will be done for.
So, I'd like for you to not be
too conspicuous for the time being.
But, I have bills to pay
I could just hire you personally,
and pay you for your trouble, but
I don't have enough assets
to hire an S-rank.
In exchange, I'll do anything I can.
So, please!
For the peace of this nation!
I beg you!
Don't ever bow your head to me!
What?
Me, take up on the scout offer
from another country?
How hilarious!
Even if a truly beautiful lady
proposes to me,
it's still out of the question!
The reason is
Right now, you're the only one in my eyes!
Oh, shoot! There goes
my old habit from the past life!
I'm sorry.
Looks like I was worried for nothing.
All right.
You can continue being an adventurer, then.
Well, I'll still try my best
not to stand out.
Cecilia, do you have a minute?
Nice to meet you.
My name is Celia Aquarain,
Cecilia's mother.
N-Nice to meet you.
I'm Yoki.
I apologise for my gatekeeper's
rude behaviour earlier.
No, it's nothing that warrants a formal apology.
I'm glad to hear that.
But, rest assured.
Our head maid will discipline him hard.
Right, Sophia?
Yes, Ma'am.
I don't think he'll learn his lesson
just through a maid's scolding
How many of his bones
should I leave intact?
Wait Bones?!
I'll leave it to you.
Understood.
M-Mother, is that why you came here?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Let's get to the point.
Sophia, could you leave us alone?
Ma'am.
Excuse me.
Cecilia, have you told him about that?
It's not necessary!
About what?
You see, Cecilia has received
so many engagement offers.
Say what?!
- Hahaha!
- One even came from the Hero.
- Just be my wife for now, Cecilia!
- One even came from the Hero.
- Just be my wife for now, Cecilia!
- Mother!
- Just be my wife for now, Cecilia!
- Looks like he really has a thing for Cecilia.
- Hahaha!
- Looks like he really has a thing for Cecilia.
What's his deal, man?!
I bet even a princess
would go for him too!
He's just too popular, I wish he'd
stay away from my romance life!
Please calm down!
I screamed my mind
I turned down all the offers,
not just the Hero's.
For real?!
For real.
Please don't bring up a weird topic, Mother.
So, you also like Cecilia, I see?
You figured it out, huh?
In that case
Would you like to marry her?
Huh?
Mother!
Um, what do you
Answer with yes or no.
I'm sorry.
I've confessed to her once,
and got rejected.
I want to do my best as an adventurer,
and once I get a stable life,
I'll confess my love to her again, so
Um
That's enough.
So you're refusing my advice as her mother?
I'm sorry if I've offended you.
But, I want to respect her feelings
You passed.
Huh?
As if I'd hand over
my precious daughter to anyone.
So, it was a trap
Well, yes. I don't want my daughter
to keep bad company.
Yoki, wasn't it?
I hope you get along well with her.
You are welcome in this house.
Th-Thank you, Ma'am.
Looks like my mother
is interested in you.
You call that interested?
Yes.
I hope so.
Does it bother you that much?
I mean, Ceci
It's your family
Um, I have a request
Yes, what is it?
Can I call you Cecilia?
What?
S-Sorry for saying something strange!
Sure.
Huh?
Then I'll call you Yoki.
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
