[The Runaway Wizard Season 2] Episode 3 "A Limited Future" Live Commentary & Impressions

10: Anonymous of the Wind

　Uh, everyone be quiet

　Niki, a long-lived species expert, has proposed the theory that "Wizard-chan actually have incredibly long lifespans."

13: Anonymous of the Wind

　So what did Wizard-chan come here for?

14: Anonymous of the Wind

　Hey

　Just play

16: Anonymous of the Wind

　She was really excited to come here.

21: Long-lived Niki

　I'm sure she just want to play even after 1000 years.

28: Anonymous of the Wind

　What does that mean? Oh, it's about to start!

33: Anonymous of the Wind

　I see

　There are many ways to extend your lifespan

　It feels like they're doing it one way or the other.

37: Anonymous of the Wind

　It's like an all-star health thanksgiving festival

39: Anonymous of the Wind

　Mission 1: Eat fruits that slow down aging

44: Anonymous of the Wind

46: Anonymous of the Wind

　Vivid green

　It looks so bitter lol

48: Anonymous of the Wind

　You can tell just by looking at it that it's definitely good for your body

49: Anonymous of the Wind

　The wizard had a look on her face like, "What, am I going to eat that?"

54: Anonymous of the Wind

　Which one does this mean?

　If the theory that she's a long-lived species is correct, then she's just as she says, and if the leading theories so far are correct, then she's a wizard who cares about everyone.

62: Anonymous of the Wind

　The weakness of Niki's theory about long-lived species is that she should just tell the truth.

　If you've come this far, you'll believe me

68: Anonymous of the Wind

　Right

　I don't understand the meaning of being silent

71: Anonymous of the Wind

　The wizard immediately started saying things like "I want everyone to eat it," and the princess started crying.

75: Anonymous of the Wind

　Isn't it too early to cry?

79: Anonymous of the Wind

　But the shrine maiden said, "That's right," so maybe it only makes sense if everyone eats it together...?

83: Anonymous of the Wind

　What is the principle?

86: Anonymous of the Wind

　I feel something that can't be explained by nutrition

89: Anonymous of the Wind

　"And if you don't eat it raw, it's pointless."

　The shrine maiden told them with a serious face, but I thought she had a slight smile on her face.

96: Anonymous of the Wind

　What was that thing you were talking to the wizard in a mysterious language at the end?

102: Anonymous of the Wind

　Why do they speak in a mysterious language when they're together?

108: Anonymous of the Wind

　Long-lived species expert, why do you think that is?

113: Long-lived Niki

　It seems that shrine maidens are respected in the temple, so I think they speak in a mysterious language when they don't want to go out of character.

117: Anonymous of the Wind

　Is this a way to be in incognito mode for both of them?

120: Anonymous of the Wind

　I see

　Oh, they all eat together in the end.

126: Anonymous of the Wind

　"Wow, that's bitter... No! Thanks to all of you, my lifespan is getting longer and longer...!"

　I'm glad the wizard seemed happy too.

134: Anonymous of the Wind

　Does she look happy? Or sad?

139: Anonymous of the Wind

　The corners of her mouth were turned up, but her eyes were dead

142: Anonymous of the Wind

　If you had a long life span you wouldn't say something like this

　There's no point in stretching it lol

148: Anonymous of the Wind

　Hmm... which one?

155: Anonymous of the Wind

　So terrible lol

　The princess is crying while eating

163: Anonymous of the Wind

　I can't tell if it's because of the line she just said or if it's just bitter.

171: Anonymous of the Wind

　Only the swordsman is eating it calmly lol

　You pass, get on board

182: Anonymous of the Wind

　It was the wizard who transferred the fruit into the shrine maiden's mouth.

188: Anonymous of the Wind

　She was looking away and whistling

　She couldn't blow it properly though

195: Anonymous of the Wind

　This is also a confession

201: Anonymous of the Wind

　That metal plate is for teleportation magic after all.

209: Anonymous of the Wind

　The shrine maiden is glaring at her with tears in her eyes lol

　She's constantly muttering something in a mysterious language

216: Anonymous of the Wind

　It certainly seems like she's pretending to be someone else

222: Anonymous of the Wind

　Mission 2: Go into the cave under the Great Temple and retrieve the elixir in the jar.

230: Anonymous of the Wind

　"The cave is deep, and even if you dive normally, it takes about two months to go there and back... What's more, the monsters that nest there are all vicious, and most people are unable to return. I recommend that everyone write a will."

236: Anonymous of the Wind

　Why did you put the elixir in such a place?

244: Anonymous of the Wind

　Don't introduce it with a smile

251: Anonymous of the Wind

　Shrine maiden, you're definitely still holding a grudge over what happened earlier.

258: Anonymous of the Wind

　Doesn't this monster crawl out into the temple?

　That's a bit convenient for them not to be

263: Anonymous of the Wind

　I guess it is being kept as a fighting force for the temple in case of emergency.

271: Anonymous of the Wind

　But then they came back in two days lol

278: Anonymous of the Wind

　Two months was two days...?

286: Anonymous of the Wind

　Well, they are the party that saved the world.

291: Anonymous of the Wind

　The shrine maiden looked twice at the group returning.

299: Anonymous of the Wind

　It's totally scared

302: Anonymous of the Wind

　Monster: "When you fight those guys, write a will."

306: Anonymous of the Wind

　Now it's time to try it!

313: Anonymous of the Wind

　The secret medicine also looks bitter, and there's an awful lot of it lol

320: Anonymous of the Wind

　The amount poured into the mug is about the same as a bottle of barley tea.

322: Anonymous of the Wind

　Wizard-chan's sense of taste is broken

328: Anonymous of the Wind

　First of all, don't use a mug to drink the elixir.

330: Anonymous of the Wind

　I laughed when I heard a gurgling sound when pouring it from the pot.

333: Anonymous of the Wind

　"Thanks to all of you... my life expectancy is increasing rapidly..." lol

336: Anonymous of the Wind

　The one who's at her limit when it comes to how she speaks

338: Anonymous of the Wind

　The wizard is clearly not feeling well lol

345: Anonymous of the Wind

　Does this really extend life?

　Isn't it become shorter?

353: Anonymous of the Wind

From then on, we relentlessly tried every method that could be used to extend lifespan.

I was told it was good for my health, so I walked around barefoot on the temple's pebbles.

I was tied to a round device that looked like a waterwheel, and my back was stretched to the limit.

I was pinned to a board and spun around in circles. Frankly, it was torture...

I sat on a rock and dipped my feet in the green foot bath, which supposedly contained medicinal herbs, and instinctively covered my mouth. The last one was particularly bad. Even though I was sitting, it felt like the world was spinning. The elixir and green fruit were dancing wildly in my stomach, searching for an outlet. I felt like I was going to throw up.

"Get a grip. You're so sloppy."

As the hero beside me spoke in shock, I muttered a curse. If it comes to this, I'll die with him.

"If push comes to shove, I'll have everything transferred into your stomach...!"

"What kind of idea have you come up with? Stop it! I mean, absolutely...!"

"That's really unpleasant."

The princess laughs. But the way she said it, I get the feeling she meant it was something like, "It's the border between happy and unhappy, right?"

...Huh? Wait a minute. So to the princess, the hero being transferred such things from others is the border between happy and unhappy...? And the hero didn't really deny it either. So that means she hit the nail on the head. ...Huh.

I slowly moved away from the princess and the hero, who were whispering something to each other.

I've met a lot of different people since I was born, but I've never met anyone with a hobby like that. That's a bit... no, it's not right...! Judging people by their hobbies. As an older person, I need to be more open-minded...!

I shook my head vigorously and smiled at the hero who turned towards me, but he waved his hands around in a panic.

"No, that's not true!"

"Yes, yes, it's fine. A hero is someone who can do things that other people can't do."

"Would you please stop using my oracle like that?"

"Or is that what it meant? You know, the line you said in Mia's village?"

"Stop turning my once-in-a-lifetime promise into a perverted declaration."

"You have a lot of other good points too...yeah, I think you're a good person..."

"Isn't it just barely enough?"

So, in the end, I wonder how much my lifespan has been extended. It took a whole day, so I'd like it to be extended by about six months. But even so, to live for 1000 years, I need, um, 2000 days?... 2000 days is, um, 5 years? About 5 years. Wow, that's surprisingly quick. In that case...

As we waited in excitement, the shrine maiden, Arinastera-san, came before us with a smile. Could it be that it has been prolonged by about a year?

"Yes, thanks for your hard work today. Your life expectancy has increased by about two hours."

"Two hours...? Not two years?"

"There's no way it's going to suddenly grow by years."

Arinastera said in amazement, but I was in no position to care.

Because it's not a loss! It's a TOTAL loss! Two hours a day, which means one day is added in 12 days. To add 1,000 years... um, 12,000 years? Yeah, probably about that long. I can do it, but I don't think anyone else can.

The image of me tying everyone who had turned into skeletons to a waterwheel and stretching their spine out came to my mind, and I shook my head. ...No. This is definitely not what I want.

"This method won't work. Is there anything else we can do?"

The princess put her hand to her chin and turned her gaze towards Arinastera. She probably didn't want her spine to be straightened even after she died.

"Hmm... The rest would be things like evil magic or fairy tales, you know? Giving souls to objects, or even having them appear as ghosts after death."

So Arinastera-san looked around at us slowly.

"However, from what I've seen, it seems that no one has that aptitude... except for one person who has no idea what will happen to them when they die."

Certainly, it's not right for them to appear as ghosts... No, is it okay...? Because ghosts don't have a lifespan, right? Probably. Do they? They say you can attain enlightenment once you have no regrets... but conversely, as long as you have regrets, you can't attain enlightenment...?

"Yes!" I said, raising my hand enthusiastically.

"By the way, what do I have to do to become a ghost?"

"...! That's no good! Don't give up like that!"

"Giving things souls, you say... but what exactly is a soul? Can't you become a ghost if you don't have the aptitude?"

"Souls travel. If you go to that place, you'll understand."

"The World Tree, huh..."

Looks like our next destination will be the World Tree.

...Oh, that's right! Isn't there a system there that lets you see your lifespan with your eyes...? What if I showed it to everyone and told them, "I'm actually a long-lived species. I have a lot of life left." Surely they would believe me? This might be a great idea!

I raised both hands vigorously.

"Let's go! To the World Tree!"

　Well, as Niki the long-lived species says, if Wizard-chan still has a lot of life left, then surely this will be a happy ending?

560: Anonymous of the Wind

　Surely

　A princess might cry tears of joy

　Because we've already reached the goal

570: Anonymous of the Wind

　Lol

　I remembered the princess in tears as she looked at the white lilies in the garden and she started to cry.

　She came from there to here

583: Anonymous of the Wind

　Oh no

　The first season is a depressing anime

　The second season was a heartwarming anime
