### Tactics of the Wolf (Ōkami no Senjutsu, *[狼の戦術]*?)

    The Wolf Clan agrees to aid the Horn Clan in their conflict with the Hoof Clan. Yuuto has Sigrun perform nightly cavalry raids on the Hoof Clan's camps, depriving them of sleep and causing them to be exhausted during the battle. The Hoof Clan's patriarch, YNGVI, attempts to flank the Wolf Clan's phalanx formations, but he is intercepted by Sigrun and killed. Thus ending the battle with the Wolf and Horn Clan's victory. Later, Linnea reveals that she is hereditary patriarch, which is illegal in the technocratic Yggdrasil. Believing herself unworthy to lead, she proposes to marry Yuuto, uniting their Clans with him as patriarch. However, despite Felicia going over the advantages of this, Yuuto cannot bring himself to accept. Later, a young man arrives at the Wolf Clan's capital.

### Twin Runes and Twin Sisters (Sō Mon to Futago, *[双紋と双子]*?)

The Wolf and Horn Clans celebrate their victory over the Hoof Clan when Steinthor, the patriarch of the Lightning Clan as well as an Einherjar with two runes and the murderer of the Horn Clan's previous patriarch, arrives unannounced. He and Yuuto have a brief face-to-face after which he peacefully leaves. After the celebration, Yuuto contacts Mitsuki, who scolts him for not calling in for such a long time. Later, Yuuto is visited by twin princesses of the Claw Clan, Albertina and Christina, who came to him with a marriage proposal. However, Yuuto rejects them and Christina reveals that it just a test. She then reveals that she and her sister wish to become his sworn daughters as they had deemed him to be the greatest patriarch in Yggdrasil.

### Steel is Tempered One Hundred Times (Hyakuren seikō, *[百錬成鋼]*?)

Yuuto and Felicia visit a Horn Clan city, escorted by Albertina and Christina. The city's inhabitants were unwilling to accept their subjection by the Wolf Clan and refused to execute their policies. Luckily, Linnea was there and convinced the people to try crop change. Linnea later confronts Yuuto about her marriage proposal, which he respectfully rejects. When asked why, he tells her about him being from the 21st Century and that he has a crush on Mitsuki. He is then informed that the Lightning Clan is preparing for war against the Wolf Clan. While Albertina and Christina volunteer to spy on the Lightning Clan, Yuuto does research on Steinthor and learns that he is actually a "brave fool" who can only use brute force, causing him to vow not to lose to him.

### The Lion That Devours the Tiger (Tora o kuu shishi, *[虎を食う獅子]*?)

    The battle between the Wolf and the Lightning Clan begins. The Wolf Clan initially has the advantage with their superior weapons and strategies. Until Steinthor single-handedly turns the tide when he overpowers Sigrun and breaks through the Wolf Clan's phalanx formations, forcing them to retreat. He gives chase and eventually catches up with Yuuto at a river where he fights the Wolf and Horn Clan's Einherjars by himself. While Steinthor is able to hold his own, he and the Lightning Clan are defeated when they get caught in a flood wave caused by Linnea destroying a dam. Yuuto notes that Steinthor was foolish to rely only on his own strength and believes him to be dead. However, he actually survived, but with his army annihilated he is forced to admit defeat.

### Valkyrie's Day Off (Irō no Hōfuku, *[遺恨の報復]*?)

Yuuto recalls how he became patriarch: The previous patriarch, Felicia's father Farbauti, named him successor, causing his son and expected successor, Felicia's brother Loptr, to kill him out of spite and flee. Later, Yuuto is informed that the Hoof Clan has been conquered by the Panther Clan using the Wolf Clan's technology. Realizing Loptr is their patriarch, Yuuto attempts to make peace. However, they respond by attacking the Horn Clan, forcing the Wolf Clan to go to war with them. While the Panther Clan is able to surround them, Yuuto protects his forces with war wagons. To break through, Loptr has his Einherjar, Sigyn, turn his soldiers into Berserkers. He then confronts Yuuto, but Felicia holds him off long enough for Sigrun to arrive riding a camel. The camel's scent causes the Panther Clan's cavalry to flee, forcing them to retreat and ending the battle in the Wolf Clan's victory.

### Beautiful Moon (Utsukushiki tsuki, *[美しき月]*?)

In the 21st Century, Mitsuki's friend, Ruri, takes her to her cousin, Saya, hoping that her knowledge of mythology might help them find out more on where Yuuto is. After hearing Mitsuki's story, Saya draws several connections between the world of Yggdrasil and Norse Mythology, with Yuuto being the "Black One" Surtr, who causes the end of the world known as Ragnarok, the Wolf Clan being the "Infamous Wolf" Fenrir and the "Massive Snake" Jörmungandr, both of whom die at Ragnarok, and Steinthor being the "Thunder God" Thor. Mitsuki later informs Yuuto about Yggdrasil's connections to Norse Mythology, after which he goes on a walk with Albertina and Christina to clear his mind. This leads him to a brothel where he meets a girl who strongly resembles Mitsuki.

### Cornered Wolf (Oitsumerareta Ookami, *[追い詰められた狼]*?)

The girl who resembles Mitsuki claims to be Leafa of the Jarl Clan and Yuuto takes her to the Wolf Clan's palace. However, she is soon revealed to actually be Sigrdrífa, the Divine Emperor of the Holy Ásgarðr Empire, the ruling power of Yggdrasil. She also reveals that she knows about the ritual that summoned Yuuto to Yggdrasil, causing him to regain hope of returning home. Later, the Wolf Clan enjoys a New Year banquet. However, afterwards, Yuuto is informed that the Lightning clan has started moving again. The two clans meet on the battlefield and, while Steinthor is able to break through the Wolf Clan's war wagons, Yuuto is able to separate him from his forces. However, at that moment, the Wolf Clan is ambushed by the Panther Clan, leaving Sigrun to face Steinthor by herself.

### Proof of a Great Ruler (Haō no Shōmei, *[覇王の証明]*?)

    Facing the Panther Clan as well as Lightning Clan and being out of strategies, Yuuto decides to face them head-on after inspiring him men with a speech. Meanwhile, Sigrun is able to defeat Steinthor using a sword technique Yuuto once showed her, causing the Lightning Clan to retreat. As the Wolf Clan begins to overpower the Panther Clan, a desperate Loptr once again has Sigyn turn his men into Berserkers to get to Yuuto. The two then face off in a sword duel, with Yuuto ultimately coming out on top. However, Sigyn then uses her rune to cause Yuuto "break free" from the effects of the Divine Mirror that summoned him to Yggdrasil and fade away, leaving only his cellphone behind. He is then transported back to Mitsuki in the 21st Century.

### A Place to Call Home (Kaerubeki basho, *[帰るべき場所]*?)

With Yuuto gone, the Panther and Lightning Clans seize the opportunity to strike back at the Wolf Clan. Loptr scolds Sigyn for sending Yuuto away, as he wanted to kill him with his own hands. Meanwhile, Steinthor plans to join in the fight alongside the Panther Clan. Linnea is also advised to turn on the Wolf Clan, but refuses. The Wolf Clan struggles against the combined forces of Loptr and Steinthor, with the former losing one of their strongholds. In the 21st century, Yuuto goes shopping for new clothes with Mitsuki, but has second thoughts about staying in Tokyo. When Christina informs Leafa about Yuuto's disappearance, the latter explains she is the only one who can c\ounter Sigyn's spell and bring Yuuto back. At the park, Yuuto tries to contact the Wolf Clan through Mitsuki's phone, and Felicia takes the call. Yuuto asks her if she could summon him back to Yggdrasil, and she informs him that Leafa could, but will nevertheless respect Yuuto's choice even if he decides not to return. Ultimately, Yuuto chooses to return to Yggdrasil. Mitsuki decides to go with him. Yuuto allows her to, on the condition that she marries him. In the end, Yuuto reclaims his throne as patriarch of the Wolf Clan, with Mitsuki as his bride.

## Skills

* **Master Strategist [ART OF WAR]**: Yūto is an expert in military strategy and has utmost effectiveness in applying them for battle. Due his knowledge in the history of war Yūto adapt the knowledge of every famous War in history. also very adaptive in every situation that comes up. Yūto give vast of knowledge to the Wolf clan Empire like Education paper, Norfolk husbandry, and tatara (glass). Also he use the knowledge of II principe and the form of art of war for the empire. He use following military tactics:
	+ **Phalanx**:     A tightly-packed formation of spear-men that was used to Great effect in Ancient Greece in which each of them drawn up in close order with shields overlapping. Yūto use this formation for his frontline defence.
	+ **Mongol military tactics and organization**:     Mongol soldier typically maintained 3 or 4 horses. Changing horses often allowed them to travel at high speed for days without stopping or wearing out the animals. When one horse became tired, the rider would dismount and rotate to another. Though the used mount would still have to travel, it would do so without the weight of the rider. Their ability to live off the land, and in extreme situations off their animals (mare's milk especially), made their armies far less dependent on the traditional logistical apparatus of agrarian armies. In some cases, as during the invasion of Hungary in early 1241, they covered up to 100 miles (160 km) per day, which was unheard of by other armies of the time. The mobility of individual soldiers made it possible to send them on successful scouting missions, gathering intelligence about routes and searching for terrain suited to the preferred combat tactics of the Mongols. Yūto inspired this tactics and use this method for the advantage and strategy for the war against to the enemy.

* + - **Stirrup**:     A light frame or ring that holds the foot of a rider, attached to the saddle by a strap, often called a stirrup leather. Stirrups are usually paired and are used to aid in mounting and as a support while using a riding animal (usually a horse or other equine, such as a mule). They greatly increase the rider's ability to stay in the saddle and control the mount, increasing the animal's usefulness to humans in areas such as communication, transportation and warfare. Yūto use this method for his army to ride easily from the horse.
