Episode 2

Episode 2 "I lied …" is the 2nd episode of She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man anime series.

Synopsis
Mira returns to the Kingdom of Archite and reunites with her in-game friend and King Solomon. While being tampered with the appearance of a loli girl, he is informed that this world has changed significantly. It was no longer a game, it was a reality. Mira decides to live as a disciple of Danblf, but that also means living as a girl ...!?

Summary
The girl turns out to be Danblf and explains to Solomon he had been experimenting with changing his appearance with a Vanity Case, but fell asleep before deleting the changes, and woke up looking like this and without Vanity Case, he can't return to normal. Solomon laughs as Danblf looks opposite of what he liked and explains its been 30 years and the game underwent a massive reality update. The Wise Men disappeared and only Luminaria had returned sometime ago. Luminaria then enters the room and hearing that the girl is Danblf, she gets excited at how cute she looks.

At dinner, Solomon reveals that many things had changed and they now can even taste the food. He also had been protecting the kingdom alone and didn't had the time to investigate what happened. Solomon tells Danblf that they also no longer have access to their flying islands, but the storeroom in their towers should be safe. The biggest change they have is that the NPCs are not alive and have feelings. Solomon decides they keep the return of Danblf a secret, as looking like a young girl, will make the other countries not take them seriously.

Returning home, Mariane rushes at Danblf and hugs her for finally returning home, but seeing a girl, Mariane then wonders who is she. Having to keep his real identity a secret, Danblf states he is Danblf's pupil, Mira. She explains that Danblf will be gone for a while as he is busy raising a new summoning spirit. Mira then thanks Mariane for keeping Danblf's home in shape for all those years.

Solomon calls Mira to speak with his advisors and military leaders. They report that two groups of monsters are heading towards the kingdom. Luminaria headed out to deal with the first group of 800, and there is a second with 200 monsters led by a lesser demon. Solomon tasks Mira to defeat the monsters. As some of the advisors don't believe Mira is capable of doing it, Solomon send them all so that Mira can prove herself. They head out with an armored jeep powered by Magic Stones, surprising Mira that Solomon had managed to build one. They are notified that the monsters are heading the same spot. The advisors explains that the other day another group of monsters headed the same spot and fought there, with seemingly having only purpose to die there.

The monsters arrive and they engage them in a fight. Mira notices that the lesser demon have Demon Crystal, that allows him to summon a random legendary beast. Using the crystal, the demon summons Cockatrice, the eyes of which can turn anyone to stone. Mira summons a Dark Knight, who immediately cuts the cockatrice's eyes and then slashes the lesser demon and cockatrice in two. The Lesser's Demon Grudge Mist then comes out of it and enters the cockatrice, becoming one with it and making it more powerful. While the Cockatrice and Dark Knight fight, Mira sees a Demon Crystal and comments that since the game changed, she may be able to use it now. She then uses Elemental Shift on Dark Knight, turning him into a Dark Beast. The Dark Beast manages to cut one of the Cockatrice wings and then shoots a powerful blast, but misses. Mira comments this was just an experiment and as she can't fully control it, and only being able to use "go" and "stop", she decides to stop the beast. Mira then summons multiple Dark Knights, who she is able to easily control and defeats the cockatrice.

Reporting to Solomon, the advisors accept Mira as Danblf's pupil and have no complains about her. They still don't know the monster objective, but suspect they may be trying to make Undead Swamp - place that can spawn undead.
