Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy 04

S1 E4: Too Late

The girl, Rinon, reveals her sister Toa disappeared. Tomoe confronts the thieves but kills three by accident and captures a fourth. Rinon sketches Toa and Makoto determines from the thief's memories their group is holding her captive and sends Mio and Tomoe to retrieve her. Makoto is concerned Toa resembles a girl named Hasegawa he knew in Japan. Mio and Tomoe locate Toa and her captor, Mils Ace, the current strongest adventurer. Rinon sneaks away and tells the thieves Makoto's wagon is full of expensive fruit but he has already sold it. The thieves insist she steals Makoto's gold to pay Toa's debts. Mils, the thieves' secret leader, reveals a Demon Lord recently approached the city and had a bounty placed on its head, so he wants Mio and Tomoe to help hunt it, not realizing the Demon Lord was Makoto. Rinon decides she cannot steal from Makoto after he is so nice to her. Mio and Tomoe defeat Mils, and his thieves, and destroy part of the city competing to see who defeated the most enemies. Rinon reunites with Toa, who is identical to Hasegawa apart from her hair color. Makoto praises Mio and Tomoe for rescuing Toa, but then violently blasts them back to the Wasteland to repent for foolishly destroying the entire human city.
