[01:44] ---
    I'd even changed my appearance
    to conceal my identity.
[01:49] ---
    But you found me anyway.
[01:53] ---
    Being a god isn't easy.
[01:58] ---
    You went from monster to god?
[02:00] ---
    You're uninformed, aren't you?
[02:03] ---
    Mr. Lizard.
[02:05] ---
    If you call me a lizard, then Reiko...
[02:11] ---
    What's the matter, Reiko?
[02:14] ---
    Normally you react differently.
[02:18] ---
    You'll pay for insulting lord dragon!
[02:21] ---
    Don't!
[02:23] ---
    You'll pay for insulting lord dragon!
[02:26] ---
    Don't!
[02:27] ---
    You'll pay for insulting lord dragon!
[02:31] ---
    Don't!
[02:32] ---
    I thought I'd overlook this offense
    since you're always stopping me.
[02:37] ---
    But if you so desire...
[02:40] ---
    You'll pay for insulting—
[02:41] ---
    No, wait! You've got the wrong idea!
[02:44] ---
    I'm sure you're curious to know
    how I became a god, Mr. Lizard.
[02:49] ---
    Not really.
[02:52] ---
    Allow me to explain what happened.
[02:55] ---
    Do you know what magic power truly is?
[02:59] ---
    All the magic power in this world
    is born from people's emotions.
[03:04] ---
    Once you learn the technique,
[03:07] ---
    you can produce tremendous magic
     power from people's emotions.
[03:13] ---
    Therefore, if you seek magic power,
    you must incite the people of Asga.
[03:19] ---
    Once their emotions reach a certain amount,
[03:23] ---
    you can even change the attributes
    of your magic power.
[03:26] ---
    Magic power born from
    positive emotions is tremendous.
[03:31] ---
    You can turn monsters into gods.
[03:34] ---
    The opposite is true as well.
[03:36] ---
    Once I gather enough fear from people,
[03:40] ---
    then I...
[03:48] ---
    Continuous worship increases my magic power!
[03:53] ---
    That's news to me.
[03:55] ---
    In other words, Pravas tried
    to create an evil dragon
[04:00] ---
    by stoking the people's fear.
[04:02] ---
    That's not all.
[04:03] ---
    Gathering magic power is a lot of work.
[04:07] ---
    Normally special magic stones are used
    to absorb magic power.
[04:12] ---
    But I don't need to do that!
[04:17] ---
    I get it now.
[04:18] ---
    That stone the fake follower had
    was a tool for absorbing magic power.
[04:24] ---
    Does that mean he was
    gathering more magic power?
[04:28] ---
    Is he working with Pravas?
    I knew something seemed off.
[04:33] ---
    I was right to have my followers
    retrieve the magic stones.
[04:38] ---
    No, wait!
[04:39] ---
    Gathering them in one
    place is even more dangerous!
[04:45] ---
    We must gather more stones.
[04:48] ---
    Very well.
[04:59] ---
    Reiko!
[05:00] ---
    Tell the followers to protect the stones!
[05:03] ---
    Yes, lord dragon.
[05:09] ---
    She must really like those heretics.
[05:13] ---
    Lady saint, thank you for your help.
[05:16] ---
    I knew you wouldn't let me down.
[05:18] ---
    Oh, really?
[05:22] ---
    It was no problem at all.
[05:23] ---
    I'm the the god of water and good harvests,
     after all. You can count on me.
[05:28] ---
    Perhaps I could ask you something else, then.
[05:31] ---
    I met a masked man dressed in black.
[05:36] ---
    He claimed to be a follower of the evil dragon
    and easily parried Reiko's attacks.
[05:41] ---
    Few individuals are so powerful.
[05:45] ---
    Do you have any idea who he might've been?
[05:49] ---
    Oh, him...
[05:51] ---
    Oh, right. It must be him.
    He's uh, you know, um...
[05:57] ---
    Well, uh...
[06:00] ---
    Does that answer your question?
[06:03] ---
    You don't know.
[06:05] ---
    He's gathering magic power
     by frightening people.
[06:09] ---
    I must tell the king. Excuse me.
[06:11] ---
    Wait!
[06:12] ---
    I'm a god. I'll help you,
    so you can count on me.
[06:16] ---
    I've got a good idea.
[06:18] ---
    Try to remember where magic power comes from.
[06:22] ---
    It's people's fear of you, Mr. Lizard!
[06:25] ---
    It's not what I want, but she's right.
[06:28] ---
    If you absorbed the
    magic power born from fear,
[06:32] ---
    wouldn't that solve everything nicely?
[06:37] ---
    What should I do?
[06:43] ---
    You just have to do something evil
    like a real evil dragon.
[06:49] ---
    Then you can efficiently gather magic power.
[06:53] ---
    And the most evil act in this world is...
[06:58] ---
    none other than...
[07:00] ---
    wasting food!
[07:05] ---
    I was wrong to get my hopes up.
[07:07] ---
    Mr. Lizard, you can count on me.
[07:10] ---
    If you destroy all the lawns in the city...
[07:13] ---
    No, perhaps you should eat them.
[07:17] ---
    It's a nonsensical suggestion,
    but I do want to gather magic power.
[07:23] ---
    I don't see another way either.
[07:29] ---
    Roar!
[07:37] ---
    Your Majesty.
[07:39] ---
    Please don't let it bother you.
[07:41] ---
    I know.
[07:43] ---
    Lord dragon tried to
    settle things peacefully.
[07:50] ---
    He did his best to prevent me and Rosetta
[07:53] ---
    from fighting.
[07:56] ---
    Your Majesty...
[07:56] ---
    More importantly,
[07:58] ---
    have we made progress on
     maintaining the passageway?
[08:01] ---
    My message and list of requests
    to neighboring kingdoms are ready.
[08:07] ---
    The roads must be repaired
    as soon as possible.
[08:11] ---
    Don't worry about me and fulfill your duties.
[08:17] ---
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[08:24] ---
    I couldn't understand how Rosetta felt.
[08:28] ---
    That night, she dug up that grave
    in order to revive Lord Pravas.
[08:35] ---
    No, that's odd.
[08:38] ---
    Lord Pravas' body
[08:39] ---
    was nowhere to be found.
[08:42] ---
    Who is that man?
[08:47] ---
    I should investigate the graveyard again.
[08:51] ---
    Perhaps it's because I organized my thoughts,
[08:55] ---
    but the view outside seems beautiful.
[09:04] ---
    Well? Do you feel anything?
[09:07] ---
    No, nothing.
[09:09] ---
    In fact...
[09:11] ---
    The citizens don't fear me!
    They're grateful to me!
[09:18] ---
    At this rate, Pravas will outpace me.
[09:22] ---
    Pravas?
[09:24] ---
    You mean Lord Pravas,
     the legendary mage of Asga?
[09:27] ---
    Yes. He's back.
[09:31] ---
    That's impossible.
[09:32] ---
    Not even a god has that kind of power
    over the life and death of people.
[09:38] ---
    Even I know that.
[09:41] ---
    He must be an impostor.
[09:43] ---
    I agree, but...
[09:47] ---
    According to Reiko, Pravas' magic power
    matches that of the crown.
[09:53] ---
    Isn't it difficult to copy the attributes
     of someone's magic power?
[09:57] ---
    There's a way to imitate it.
[10:05] ---
    Well?
[10:06] ---
    I see! That could work!
[10:11] ---
    See you later, Mr. Lizard.
    I've got to go.
[10:14] ---
    The people of Serenne are
    waiting for me. See you later.
[10:22] ---
    Perhaps I'll investigate Pravas' grave.
[10:26] ---
    What happened?
[10:28] ---
    Ms. Reiko! You're finally here!
[10:31] ---
    Don't cry. Tell me what happened.
[10:35] ---
    That woman just showed up here
     and stole the magic stones!
[10:39] ---
    What?!
[10:49] ---
    It looks like everything is ready.
[10:57] ---
    Where is Lord Pravas?
[11:24] ---
    Stop! Don't eat me!
[11:29] ---
    That voice...
[11:30] ---
    What? Your Majesty?
[11:31] ---
    Lord dragon?
[11:34] ---
    Finally!
[11:36] ---
    The curtains will rise!
