Episode 1
???
うーん…
すやすや……
すやすや……

???
Hm...zzz...
???
きゃっ! な…なんですか!?
きゃっ! な…なんですか!?

???
Eep! Wh-what is going on?
Ally
Based on the nearby creatures, this seems to be the forest near the village of Grimp...
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
I am Ragnus! A hero of justice who fights the forces of evil!
Ally
And now a person(?) I have never seen before has appeared before me!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Ahaha! Aren't you a sharp one, Ally? ...Alright, calm down and I'll tell you what's happened to me.
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
It seems that a slew of anomalies are plaguing Pwurp Island!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
I believe that those same anomalies are at cause for my current appearance.
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
I was just as shocked as you. I really don't know why I've been transformed into this...
Ally
But, if that is a case, why did I spot a creature native to that area here?
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Hm... That just makes me even more certain, There truly are many strange things occurring here.
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
This is surely a sign that I, the Great Hero Ragnus, must embark on an adventure to save the world!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
And once I complete my journey and defeat the evil behind all this... I shall become a true hero at last! Hahahaha!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
What is it, Ally? Would you like to join my party?
Ally
I am unsure why, but the word "hero" fills me with such strong emotions...
Ally
...All right, I have made up my mind! I shall also aim to become a true hero!
Ally
I do not completely understand it either, but I am suddenly filled with an overflowing heroic love!
Ally
If I become a true hero, I believe I may be able to return to my original world!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Y-yes, of course... I think that's likely, too.
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
I think just one hero ー me ー should be enough... ...Wait.
Episode 2
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Hahaha! You don't even know the basics, Ally?
Ally
I do not! As that is the case, please show me the foundations of becoming a hero, Hamushter Hero Ragnus!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
...Ahem. Alright, listen up: To become a hero, the first thing you must do is talk to the villagers!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Yes! They most likely have something troubling them.
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
That was quick... Let's go ask what's troubling him.
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
(Though, at first glance I think he's more like a "demon lord" than a "villager"...?)
Ally
Whatever is troubling you? We shall do everything in our power to help you!
Satan
My castle is supposed to be right down this road. However, it seems to have vanished without a trace overnight!
Satan
I was even in the middle of preparing a special dinner for Arle and Carbuncle tonight...!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
There truly are some strange things occurring in this world!
Satan
You're postponing it?! You just said that you two would do everything in your power to help me!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
We only just started this adventure, so we are still at "Level 1" so to speak.
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Searching for a castle that vanished...would be a Level 24 quest, you see! Normal difficulty!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
I'm sure we can find a different quest appropriate for our level!
Ally
Your Great Darkness Satan, please wait here for the time being, at least until we have leveled up enough!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Yeah. We should find "that" soon, though...
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Hahaha! "That" is something all adventures should know about!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
...Now, according to the rumors... There! A treasure chest!
Ally
(Treasure chests... Those also inhabit the world I live in, I believe...Hm?)
Notes: Ally uses the verb "いる" for living or animate objects here instead of "ある" which is for inanimate objects, implying that she realizes the chest is a living Mimic and not an inanimate treasure chest.

ラグナス ver.ハムタス
うわーーーー!!?
うわーーーー!!?

Ragnus ver. Hamushter
WAAAAUUGH?!
Horpus
Whoop, sorry about that, buddy... Looks like you got swallowed up by my little Iichan.
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Ugh... For a hero to have been deceived by a mimic... How I've fallen...!
Horpus
Ohh, so you were the one that yelled, huh! Thanks to you, Iichan didn't bite at their full strength...
Horpus
I guess that was a blessing in disguise! Even though this was just some hamster!
Horpus
Alright, time to go home, Iichan! We still gotta do some maintenance on ya.
ガブガブガブッ
ガブガブガブッ
(Chomp chomp chomp)
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Phew... That surprised me a bit. But as he said, I'm not hurt at all.
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Did you realize that chest was a mimic from the start, Ally...?
Ally
Uhm... I can not say for certain if that was the case, but I just had a feeling, you see!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
(Is Ally more cut out for being a hero than I am...?)
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
(No, that can't be true! There should only be one true hero, and that is me!)
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Come, Ally! We must continue onward to save this world and become heroes!
Ally
Yes! And to return to my original world, I shall continue to hold onto my heroic love!
Episode 3
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Now! The next item on the list of hero's duties is certainly "that"!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
The most basic of basics when it comes to adventuring is gaining experience!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Mmhm. It seems that you're catching onto what it means to be a hero, Ally.
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Ever since you first mentioned it, I can't quite figure out what you mean by "heroic love", but at least it's a good motivator.
Cait Sith
We were enjoying such a purrfect nap, basking in the sun...
Cait Sith
Just be quiet already, meow! If you keep this up, we won't let you off with just one cat punch!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
No need to worry! Rather... If I accept this battle and win, I'll acquire some experience!
Ally
U-uhm... Ragnus? You have not moved from that spot since a moment ago.
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Wh-why is that...? I am trying to move, but my body won't listen to me...
Ally
Perhaps because you have the body of a hamster, you freeze up in front of cats?
Cait Sith
Meow? So we're gonna fight fur real after all? Hurry up and face us!
Kitty Ally
If I become a cat as well, surely we can more deeply fall in love together!
Cait Sith
Wh-what the heck's going on... We've had enough of this!
Cait Sith
We're going to go nap over there instead, so do whatever you want, meow!
Ally
But it looks like we were able to settle that peacefully with the power of love. How fortunate ♪
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Hm... Looks like you saved me again, Ally.
???
おーい! おーい!
おーい! おーい!

???
Oi, oi!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
No! I'm Hamnus... No, I mean, the hero Ragnus!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
When I awoke this morning, I was changed into this form.
Suzaku
You see that castle over there, yes? That also suddenly appeared this morning, and then...
Suzaku
...one of our fellow pupils went inside, and he has yet to return.
Suzaku
And what worries me even more is that he looked completely different from usual...
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
That's terrible! He must have been taken by the demon lord that dwells in that castle!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
It's a lot earlier than planned, but... We're going to challenge the demon lord to a final, decisive battle!
Ally
Right away! As long as we have heroic love on our side, there will surely be no problem!
Kirin
Hey, hey, Suzaku... Do you think they've got the wrong idea?
Kirin
Like, Byakko was all "I'm gonna go do some training in that castle!" so he went in all on his own, yeah?
Suzaku
I had a feeling you were more worried about dinner than you were about Byakko...
Episode 4
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Alright. Looks like we have safely infiltrated the castle!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
The demon lord is the final boss, so he won't show himself so easily.
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
I am Ragnus! A hero of justice who fights the forces of evil!
Ally
And I am Ally, who follows the power of my heroic love wherever it takes me!
Roaring Hero Byakko
No matter cool you try to look, you're just a hamster! And...what the heck is "heroic love" supposed to mean?!
Ally
"Heroic love" is sort of like the power of love created by heroes, you see!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
So, are you the demon lord of this castle?
Roaring Hero Byakko
What? A demon lord? Kidnapped? You guys sure like to accuse people of stuff...
Roaring Hero Byakko
The Strongest Hero Great White Tiger Legendary Byakko will put you in your place!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
So you intend to evade us... It won't work! A hero always prevails!
Roaring Hero Byakko
Great Guard! And then... Great Hundred Split Punch!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Counter of Justice! And then... Justice Hamushter!
はあ…はあ…はあ…
はあ…はあ…はあ…
(Pant, pant, pant)...
Roaring Hero Byakko
Okay then, I'm gonna use my secret weapon! Transform!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Wh-what...?! He was hiding a secret art from us?!
Roaring Hero Byakko
WAHAHAHAHAHA! What do ya think?! Pretty cool, right?
Ally
No, it is the truth! You are the cutest thing I have ever laid eyes on! Don't you agree, Ragnus?
Ally
Oh no! I forgot that you freeze up in front of cats, Ragnus!
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
Ugh... If I was my usual self, I could defeat this enemy easily with some catnip...!
???
…など…ない……
…など…ない……

???
...Meaningless...
???
無意味な… 争い…
なにもかも… 相容れない…
なにもかも… 相容れない…

???
Everything is meaningless... They will forever be in conflict... They will never be in harmony...
Ally
Harmony...? What does harmony have to do with this situation...?
Notes: Rafisol says "相容れない" (ai irenai), which means that things are clashing, discordant, or out of harmony with each other. Ally doesn't know what this means, so she concludes that the voice must be talking about "愛" (ai) as in love. The joke has been localized so that it makes more sense in English.
Ally
When heroic love and a superhero's love join together, this world will be saved!
Notes: Ally says that when their loves "ぶつけ合い" (butsukeai), or clash with each other, the world will be saved, and the last part sounds like "愛" (ai) love, again. I localized this to "join together" so it makes more sense in English.
Roaring Hero Byakko
Even the Legendary Byakko doesn't have any ideas!
Ally
Well, let us give this a try! Alrighty! Time to Shine! Emission! Love's Light! And then...
Risukuma
Hm... I sense a great considerable surge of energy. This love...is immeasurable.
Roaring Hero Byakko
Who the heck are you?! Some kinda squirrel-person?!
Risukuma
As much as I would love to answer your questions, I'm afraid I cannot...
Risukuma
I have already booted up the Love Sensor Plus Love Burst~ Machine~, you see.
Ragnus ver. Hamushter
I didn't understand a thing you just said, but I'm getting a pretty bad feeling about this!
どっかーーーーん!!!
どっかーーーーん!!!
(KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOM)!!!
Byakko
W-wait, you've got the wrong idea! Some squirrel-person just... Wait, where'd he go?!
Satan
Unbelievable... I finally made it back to my castle, and then there's a sudden explosion...
Ally
Pardon the interruption, but when did you change forms, Byakko?
Byakko
(I was pretty surprised when I woke up this morning and I was a superhero for some reason, but...)
Satan
That seems to be likely. I had a look outside and my castle has returned to its rightful place.
Ally
It seems that I must soon bid farewell to this world...and to everyone...
Ragnus
A hero's adventure is neverending! I'm sure that someday, somewhere, we will meet once more!
Ally
Ragnus... Ahaha, that is true! Even in my original world, I will continue my quest with heroic love!
ぴかぴかしゅるんぼわわ~ん!
(アリィがどこかへ消える音)
(アリィがどこかへ消える音)
(Twinkle twinkle, shwing, pop~!)
(The sound of Ally disappearing to another world.)
(The sound of Ally disappearing to another world.)
Ally
I suppose that these incidents were not related to my arrival in Pwurp!
Ragnus
Hm... In that case, perhaps if you become a "true ultimate hero", you can go back home!
Satan
If you lot are going to keep talking about this, I would prefer you do so outside of my castle.
Ally
This may be a sudden request, Your Great Darkness Satan, but let us love each other ultimately!!
めざせ!勇者の中の勇者

Ultimate Goal! The Hero of Heroes
- The End -
- The End -
Notes: The title in Japanese 勇者の中の勇者 can be read as either "The Hero of Heroes" similar to the English phrase "a man among men", or "The Hero Within the Hero", potentially referring to Ragnus being transformed into a Hamushter for most of the story.
