The kingdoms of Gritonia and Limia are in trouble! And they need Makoto's help to get back to their kingdoms! Even to the point of begging (which must be a first for Lily)! And it's the perfect opportunity for Makoto and Tomoe to put on a big performance of how they're sacrificing their prized teleporation sword to pull it off! Tomoe is a master actress .
But the attack on Rotsgard wasn't the real decoy, this was all a plot to attack Limia so they could get to Hibiki, because unlike Tomoki she's a genuine, bonafide, Hero and as such the biggest threat thanks to her charisma. Makoto doesn't know the Heroes and doesn't feel any personal loyalty to them, but feels as a fellow person from their old world he feels he has to at least do SOMETHING for them on the sly...but before he can figure it out, he gets dragged away by his favorite person in the world....the rotten Goddess. And he can't fight back . The Goddess is as rotten as ever and quick to insult Misumi, but Makoto can talk smack right back to her and isn't about to let her have her way with him any more, especially when she's degrading him and calling out when she still needs HIS help again. She could very easily kill him, but circumstances being what they are, she just needs him to protect Limia and retake Fort Stella, and she'll finally leave him alone (provided he never outwardly goes against Hyumans) and restore his ability to speak common. Not that it'll be pleasant . Hey, no calling Shiki a nobody . Makoto will go along with what the Goddess asks THIS time...but he'll do his own thing as well, like finally ordering Tomoe and Mio to invade and retake Kaleneon, finally putting his forces to work and declaring war on the demons ! We've got Tomoe and Mio leading the charge! Emma in command! And Highland Orcs and Lizards in battle! The demons didn't stand a chance, especially when they mis-gender the female lizards ! And with this successful invasion, Eva and Luria will take the credit and learn the ins-and-outs of running and maintaining a kingdom in the process . Mio greets her Boss Battle with Left, and while she doesn't understand the politics, she understands fulfilling her beloved young masters' wishes and is more than willing to kill for them. Left is probably going to be wishing he fought the Heroes instead . Looks like Makoto is finally going to meet Hibiki and Tomoki as we catch up with the two heroes . Bringing back the Mio and Tomoe ED just in time !

A new ED!? At this late in the story, at this episode count, with a few episodes left, localized entirely within this episode (or the few episodes left)?!
Anyway I expected this to be a great battle with all the demiplane people involved, but it was only Hayami Saori with Geld from Tensura and some Gabirus mixed in.

The jamming devices for telepathy are implemented by demons throughout the city. By requests, Makoto reluctantly break them by using tracing arrows. The arrows also made the hole on Root's chest, suggesting he/she is collaborating with demon army. Root seems to having fun. Mio's later encounter with the dragon general confirms it.
The goddess is forcing Makoto to fight human again. When the heroes choosing by goddess are in danger of losing lives, goddess will interfere, but she is reluctant to do. So she order Makoto to do the job. While away, Makoto asks Tomo and Mio to retake the land occupied by demon army. So, his trading company will finally establish a base. |

I would like for Tomoki to get taken out, but unfortunately, that's off the table since Makoto has to protect him. Also looking forward to the Hibiki x Makoto meeting. Wonder whether it will be a dramatic one or just a random few seconds of introduction. |

If nothing else this really shows how far Makoto has come in terms of power and confidence. He was absolutely a brat that whole time and could completely get away with it. His only real loss was that he was so busy throwing around insults that he didn't actually have a reward in mind to even demand from her . Thankfully Shiki was on top of that one.
I'm kind of curious why it did so much physical damage to him compared to when he first gained all those other languages. Maybe it's because of how powerful he is that giving him any sort of buff is actually a good deal more work? Although it didn't seem that hard on her and more painful for him so I'm really unsure. Either way this was a pretty good deal. The worst part is having to support the heroes but, it's only for this occasion. And he pretty much can do whatever he wants going forward. The biggest issue was an all out war with the Goddess before he could match her in terms of power. But now she's pretty much going to remain hands off unless he straight up goes to war against humanity. Obviously killing individuals is still allowed since he got away with that in the past. He just needs to avoid making overt moves that she can't miss. It's going to be nice seeing Mio and Tomoe crushing enemies that don't leave me with mixed feelings. This last arc was kind of rough to get through. But at least a war like this is a bit easier to go along with.

The power goddess throw to Makoto would kill Mio and Tomoe, both are top of the food chain in their world. In the past, the endless training of Makoto pays off. He is only bleeding. The goddess forces binding agreement with him because she is running out of time. The goddess will leave him alone as long he doesn't harm people under her protection. He has no intention to harm anyone unless provoked, which sounds like a good deal. However, there is always some clueless ones who are out of their minds. They will intend to hurt Makoto and his friends. He will come up something for fight back without breaching his deal with the goddess.
