Give me a sword!
I'll cut his head off!
What?!
This person was by no means saying that to mock you, Your Majesty!
That's right.
In our country, people are only considered adults when they reach the age of 21,
so his rudeness was not out of ill will.
Rather, it was due to his overwhelming emotions caused by Your Majesty's beauty.
Please, forgive him.
Is that so?
Huh?
Y-Yes, of course!
W-Well, it's fine.
An empress shouldn't be particular about such trivialities.
How elegant, Your Majesty.
I-I've got to be more careful.

2. A helper in moe
We welcome you from your faraway land.
Thank-
We are thankful for your kind words.
As you can see...
There are a few things you should know.
The Empress's official name is Her Majesty Petrarca Ann Erdant the Third.
He is the Prime Minister, Zahar.
And...
He is Gallius En Cordobal-san,
the Empress's cousin, a noble knight.
He will definitely be able to divert Your Majesty's boredom.
Allow me to say a few words.
Gallius...
You described him as an evangelist, but isn't he still a child?
If even such a young man can master this otaku culture,
it must be trivial at best.
I can't see how this can be advantageous to our Empire.
As soon as we touch it,
it could turn out to be a harmful poison that we can't get rid of.
Harmful...
Harmful, huh?
Even poison becomes a medicine, depending on how it's used.
It may seem weird, but being able to judge that difference is what it means to be an adult.
Those who dismiss things as harmful or sordid without knowing anything...
are utter fools!
What a thing to say!
You bastard...
Are you calling me a fool?
I'll cut your head off with this!
Stop it, Gallius-dono!
C-Crap, if I go on like this...
That's funny!
I've taken an interest in you, Kanou Shinichi!
Huh?
I can't believe you argued against Gallius.
Your Majesty!
All right.
I will authorise all activities by your AmuTec.
Do what you wish!
I am truly thankful.
That was close!
I felt the chills!
God, talking back so suddenly...
Don't speak about it please.
I'm regretting it deeply.
But he seems to have taken a liking to you, Shinichi-kun.
Gallius-san, I mean.
Huh?
You could feel the heat in his eyes, right?
It's like the "First meeting, worst meeting" pattern.
Please don't say such weird things.
By the way, what exactly should I do?
I wonder.
Huh?
In all honesty, we never really thought about that.
What?!
We're still discussing what to build...
after we secure a plot of land and a budget, so...
No way...
Since this is the first cultural exchange between humankind and a parallel world,
the government wants to put a monopoly on the trade.
However, the budget available for such unpredictable enterprises tends to shrink without good reason.
You could start by selecting works that the people of this world would go crazy over.
After you point out the interesting ones,
we will import them.
Okay...
Will the people here understand Japanese if they're wearing these?
No, it only works between those who wear them.
It's basically a telepathy device, so to speak.
It translates the thoughts of the people you talk to,
so words coming from devices such as CDs and DVDs would not be translated.
So they wouldn't be able to understand anything then?
Yeah.
You can't make them go crazy then.
I'm thirsty.
Oh?
Oh!
Master!
What is wrong?
I just want to drink some water.
I would have brought you some, had you called me.
I'll go get some now.
Sure.
Were you studying?
Y-Yes, since you went through the trouble of showing them to me.
Please don't look at it too much.
It's embarrassing.
No, it's amazing.
But staying up late is poison for the body,
so wouldn't it be better to do this tomorrow?
I have to work the majority of each day, so...
I want to learn it as quickly as possible.
I'll help you.
Y-You don't have to!
You shouldn't waste precious sleeping time on someone like me!
But I'm all awake now.
Take a seat.
But...
It's fine.
Come on.
Master, you're really mysterious.
I wonder.
You are!
Really eccentric.
I'm truly thankful for your help.
From then on, I tutored Myuser every night.
During the day I assigned tasks that would help her learn our culture,
and at night we studied together.
Myuser was an amazingly fast learner,
and that made me somewhat happy.
And then, after a few days...
It was time to start my research,
but the magical interference was so bad, that I couldn't even connect to the Internet by wire.
So I had files shipped to me on a hard disk.
It wasn't instantaneous, but it was the best I could do.
All right, this should be good.
Master, is this what you call "otaku culture"?
That's right.
Amazing...
Really amazing!
Go ahead.
Read whatever you like.
Is that fine?
Of course.
I'll help myself then.
Brook, you take a look too.
But a manservant like me...
That doesn't matter.
I want to get everyone's opinion about them.
Okay.
I had the two of them try as many of my favourite works as possible.
Myuser learned katakana in an instant,
and I expected her to be a perfect research subject, but...
Master!
Why is he taking off his clothes?
Ah, that character is Hosa-
Please wait-
Shut up already!
Kanou Shinichi!
Your Majesty?!
I'm here to inspect your evangelist work.
I see...
How odd!
Is this that otaku culture you're bringing over?
Your Majesty,
the Empress shouldn't run in the halls.
You're being noisy, old man.
I didn't run, I just walked quickly.
Ah, such bright colours!
The pictures and paintings vary enormously,
but they all have such strange appearances.
Let's see...
I see, I see...
I don't get it at all!
She might have the character for it.
Hey, Kanou Shinichi!
Just call me Shinichi.
In that case, Shinichi, you should also call me Petrarca.
I give you special permission for that.
Huh?
You can't do that.
I don't want to hear it.
I've already decided.
Hey, Shinichi,
I can't understand this otaku culture all by myself.
So I'll have you read it to me!
Me?!
That's right.
Everyone else, leave us!
I'm sorry, everyone...
Zahar, you too!
You should know that.
Alone with the Empress...
What a troublesome person...
Erm, Myuser, you stay at least!
Huh?

Her loli-like chest...
And on the other side, a blooming maid chest...
It's a small harem, but for some reason I'm having a hard time!
Hey, turn to the next page now!
Don't you want to know what happens?
Ah, I'm sorry...
Myuser?
Yes?
Can you read this?
Eh...
It's possible!
Yes, it's your name, Master.
That's right, it's pronounced the same as my family name, "Kanou".
You pronounce it the same way, but the meaning is different.
Is that so?
Yeah.
There are a lot of these characters called "kanji".
Many of them are read with the same pronunciation,
but generally they all mean different things.
That's interesting!
But you really learn fast, Myuser!
Not at all, it's because you've helped me until late every night, Master.
I had no idea I would learn to read some day.
I barely did anything!
It's because you're working so hard-
Shinichi!
Huh?
Ah...
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
It's Petrarca!
Sorry, Petrarca.
I'm really sorry-
Eh, Petrarca, you can't do this!
Be quiet!
I can't see well from the side.
And you, maid!
Y-Yes?!
Get us some tea!
I don't want it cold.
Heat it again!
Yes, right away!
A servant should work like a servant!
Your Majesty...
Petrarca!
Sorry, Petrarca.
Are you perhaps angry?
Of course I'm not, you brute!
You go into heat whenever you see a woman!
"Into heat"? What do you mean "into heat"?!
Get on with the reading already!
H-Her breath...!
In the end, the Empress had me read to her until she was satisfied.
Stop!
Please stop!
Please don't do anything!
Huh?
Brook?
I-I'm sorry, are you okay?
Well, I do have scales.
I see.
Moreover, if you want to hit me,
use this.
Huh?
Ah, is that so?
That wasn't what I meant!
Master?!
Huh?
Master?!
Myuser?
This isn't what you think, Myuser!
I wasn't chastising Brook!
Are you all right?
There's so much blood.
You're right...
It's not what you think!
I was the one to hit him.
So you should be worried about Brook first.
But it's natural that a nobleman would hit his servants.
It's natural?
Yes.
It really is different.
This world is fundamentally different from Japan.
That's when I began to understand.
The next day I went to observe the city.
I wanted to understand my future customers better.
For otaku culture to flourish,
it would have to be embraced by the commoners.
Most shop billboards had only pictures.
Even though there was writing,
I heard that eight in ten people could not read,
which surprised me.
But I was even more surprised that children received military training.
For lizard men, elves and other such races,
serving in the military was apparently the shortest path to employment.
They don't have natural civil rights.
Brook, were you the same?
That's right.
I used to be in the army.
Myuser must have been in the army too.
Really?
Yes.
I heard that Myuser's attack is quite something.
You shouldn't think about it too much.
There are still remnants of a class system in our own world,
and our society still accepts what remains.
I know.
It's break time.
Hey, hey!
What are you doing?
You're not from the self-defence forces, right?
Who are you?
Brook?
Yes.
I'm someone who would like everyone to learn about things like these.
What's this?!
What do you normally play?
We don't play or anything.
When we're not training, we help with the harvest.
We also tend to the domestic animals and plough the fields...
You don't have time to play?
There's no way.
So you don't read books either?
Books are for the rich people,
and only people like nobility and scientists can read anyway.
Nobody teaches you?
Yup.
In that case they wouldn't able to enjoy fun things like manga, novels, anime or games either.
That Hanmes...
It's good that he saved the two children,
but if this keeps going, the great god will eat their mother.
Hey, Shinichi, hurry up and turn to the next page!
She's light, but enough is enough!
Shinichi!
Got it.
Your Majesty, Master.
Excuse me.
I prepared some tea.
Nobody asked for that.
But still...
Well, we can end here.
What are you saying?!
This was the best part!
But my throat is bone dry.
Just a little break, okay?
Who do you think you are?
You're always, always, always, always getting in the way!
Y-Your Majesty, I-I...
Even now, you interrupted during the best part without asking!
I didn't mean to...
I just thought that Master would be getting tired...
Don't talk back to me!
I-I'm terribly sorry!
Petrarca, you know...
Damn you, maid!
Why?
Why does she scold her with such easy-to-understand words?
You're not a human nor an elf,
but some damn cross-breed, aren't you?!
Y-Yes...
So what?!
As if I'd drink the tea some half-elf has poured!
I heard that the likes of you aren't even welcome in the elf villages,
and live creeping around the marshes!
What would you do if some mud stink of yours got onto me?!
I-I'm terribly-
Begone!
Don't show yourself to me again!
Hey, let go, Shinichi!
Petrarca...
Shinichi?
I see, this is just normal in this country.
But still...
Well, uh, how should I say this...
Why are you protecting someone as lowly as her?!
Sorry, but I couldn't watch something that heartbreaking.
What?
People have insulted and bullied me like that too.
Bullied?
What are you talking about?
You know, Petrarca.
In our culture, there's no such thing as a difference in social position.
Liberty, equality, fraternity...
Our culture is based on such ideas.
Oh?
If you want to enjoy the culture I'm bringing in,
I'd like you to understand that too, Petrarca.
Shinichi?
Yes?
Is "Equality" a philosopher or something?
I have to explain that too?
You're a really mysterious guy.
You argue against not only Gallius, but me too.
Sorry.
In deference to your spirit,
and to your will to defy danger and remonstrate,
I'll forgive you, and the maidservant over there.
Thank you.
However,
I'm giving you a new order.
Teach me that Japanese of yours too.
Huh?
That maidservant knows it already,
so I, the empress, can't stand not knowing.
I'll learn Japanese,
and then we'll see whether the otaku culture you're bringing into our country is useful or not.
I'll make sure of it myself!
Thank you, Petrarca.
And you!
Y-Yes?!
I can't forgive you for being ahead of me.
Eh?
Don't study Japanese with Shinichi by yourself.
Y-Yes!
See you tomorrow!
Erm, Myuser...
I'm sorry, but would you make me tea again?
Okay?
It's probably cold already.
Because you made these sweets for me,
I want to eat them properly with hot tea.
Yes!
Shinichi-kun is living dangerously.
Too dangerously.
I'll probably have to tell that to him.
Huh, just that?
Too much happened today.
Huh?
Myuser?
Master...
Were you crying?
That manga...
A girl who was enslaved as a child falls in love with a demon lord.
Yes.
After all the hard times,
their hearts finally connected.
I don't know why, but my tears just started falling.
Normally, I'd get excited over how moe she is,
but sometimes even I'm at a loss for words.
But underneath it all,
something indescribable was moving.
