[00:01] IceRock
    Long live... the Demon Lord...
[00:08] Atou
    What a shameful mess!
[00:10] Atou
    I'm supposed to be King Takuto's hero!
[00:16] Atou
    Either way, it's time to report!
[00:19] Atou
    King Takuto, I'm finished!
[00:21] Atou
    The enemy was one of the Four Generals,
[00:23] Atou
    and while I took a slight blow,
[00:25] Atou
    I finished him off proper—
[00:27] Atou
    Huh?!
[00:35] Atou
    There's an enemy in Mynoghra?!
[01:12] DemonLord
    What a beautiful, wonderful land.
[01:17] DemonLord
    All of this...
SIGN    Let's Launch Our Counterattack
[02:58] Messenger
    My king!
[03:00] Messenger
    Enemy forces have entered the Accursed Lands!
[03:02] Takuto
    Yeah, I know.
[03:05] Messenger
    Please forgive me.
[03:07] Messenger
    Given the situation, I thought
    I should report to be sure.
[03:11] Isla
    It's all right. Our king has the power to know
    everything that happens within his domain.
[03:16] Isla
    Our main forces, including
    Gia, are already on the move.
[03:21] Isla
    We'll be moving to the
    residential area as well,
[03:24] Isla
    so you should make haste back to your post.
[03:27] Messenger
    Yes! Understood!
[03:30] Caria
    My king...
[03:32] Maria
    Are things bad?
[03:33] Takuto
    No, we're fine.
[03:36] Isla
    Master has me here, after all.
[03:39] Isla
    There's nothing to be worried about.
[03:42] Takuto
    It is a little unpleasant though.
[03:45] Isla
    Yes.
[03:47] Isla
    I didn't think they would attack us here.
[03:50] Isla
    What shall we do?
[03:51] Isla
    There's a chance that the enemy's leader,
[03:54] Isla
    this "Demon Lord," is another
    player like you, Master.
[03:58] Takuto
    So what if they are?
[04:01] Takuto
    It doesn't matter if they're a player or not.
[04:04] Takuto
    Peace between us would be
    difficult at this point.
[04:07] Takuto
    Atou's already taken down one
    of their Four Generals too.
[04:11] Takuto
    We'll crush them with our full might, Isla.
[04:14] Isla
    As you command, my king.
[04:19] Takuto
    Now then, let's launch our counterattack.
[04:26] Takuto
    Let's confirm our forces.
SIGN    Isla, Queen of Bugs
[04:29] Takuto
    First, we have you, Isla.
[04:31] Isla
    Yes. I will not bring shame
    to my title of Defense Hero.
SIGN    Head Warrior Gia
[04:37] Takuto
    Next, we have the Dark Elf
    Warriors led by Gia.
[04:41] Takuto
    There aren't many of them, but
    their morale is at its peak.
SIGN    Brain Eaters
[04:44] Isla
    We also have the Brain Eaters.
[04:47] Isla
    We only have three of them,
[04:49] Isla
    but they possess healing abilities.
[04:52] Isla
    I believe they'll prove
    reliable in this situation.
[04:55] Maria
    Human!
SIGN    Larvae
[04:56] Takuto
    Lastly, we have the Larvae
    you've given birth to.
[05:00] Isla
    I gave birth to Larvae intended for labor,
[05:02] Isla
    but they should be able
    to fight to some degree.
[05:05] Isla
    My presence here will supplement
    their abilities after all.
[05:11] Isla
    Perhaps I should have anticipated
    this and birthed some Combat Larvae.
[05:17] Takuto
    There's no point in thinking about that now.
[05:20] Caria
    That's right!
[05:21] Caria
    Everyone is grateful to the Larvae!
[05:24] Maria
    Uh-huh!
[05:25] Isla
    Oh my, thank you girls.
[05:27] Isla
    Let me give you a hug in thanks!
[05:36] Emle
    My king.
[05:36] Takuto
    Emle?
[05:38] Takuto
    What is it?
[05:40] Emle
    We've completed the evacuation of
    those who won't join the battle.
[05:44] Takuto
    Good work.
[05:45] Takuto
    We'll be heading there too,
    so we'll join you there later.
[05:49] Emle
    Understood. I'll be waiting for you!
[05:52] Takuto
    Yeah.
[05:53] Gia
    My king.
[05:54] Takuto
    Gia?
[05:55] Gia
    I have a rough estimate on the number of
    enemies who entered the Accursed Lands.
[06:00] Takuto
    Both Emle and Gia are able to think for
    themselves and act without directions from me.
[06:06] Takuto
    This never would have happened in the game.
[06:08] Takuto
    I have reliable people working under me.
[06:11] Gia
    My king?
[06:13] Takuto
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[06:14] Takuto
    So how many?
[06:15] Gia
    I can see roughly a thousand enemies
    have invaded the Accursed Lands.
[06:20] Gia
    In addition to Goblins and Orcs,
[06:22] Gia
    I've also spotted some
    grotesque, unfamiliar creatures.
[06:26] Takuto
    You've done well. Thank you.
[06:28] Takuto
    Continue focusing on defending
    the area around our capital.
[06:31] Takuto
    I'll deal with the enemies.
[06:33] Gia
    Understood.
[06:36] Takuto
    A thousand enemies, huh?
[06:38] Takuto
    That's certainly a lot.
[06:39] Takuto
    There's probably one of the
    Four Generals too.
[06:41] Takuto
    This is looking to be a tough battle.
[06:47] Isla
    However, O great and mighty king,
[06:50] Isla
    you've already determined
    our strategy, haven't you?
[06:54] Takuto
    Moments like these are precisely
    what our Mana Resources are for.
[06:57] Takuto
    We're facing an RPG.
[06:59] Takuto
    It's time to show them the
    strength of a 4X game.
[07:03] Isla
    By which you mean creating Units
    with Emergency Production?
[07:08] Isla
    Using that, you could easily
    overturn the difference in numbers.
[07:12] Isla
    Being able to produce all the Units
    we want as long as we have Mana
[07:16] Isla
    is an awfully advantageous mechanic for us.
[07:18] Takuto
    Isla.
[07:23] Takuto
    I'm granting you the entirety
    of Mynoghra's Mana reserves.
[07:30] Isla
    What?
[07:34] Takuto
    Raise your level as much as possible.
[07:36] Takuto
    Be sure to acquire the skills
    Predation and Parasitic Eggs.
[07:42] Takuto
    Then use that power to overrun...
[07:50] Takuto
    all of our enemies!
[08:00] Isla
    My, my, my!
[08:02] Isla
    What a mean and spiteful person you're being!
[08:05] Isla
    Entrusting me with everything
    during this crisis!
[08:09] Takuto
    I already have a general grasp of our
    foe's power from the battle in Dragontan.
[08:14] Takuto
    Even if one of the Four Generals is there,
[08:16] Takuto
    you should be plenty capable
    of dealing with them now.
[08:19] Takuto
    Will you show me why you're
    known as our Defense Hero?
[08:25] Isla
    Yes, as you wish.
[08:29] Isla
    Isla, Queen of Bugs,
[08:32] Isla
    shall live up to your expectations
[08:35] Isla
    and thoroughly defeat
    all of our foes for you.
[08:42] Takuto
    I'm sure you'll be fine,
[08:44] Takuto
    but be wary of any attacks
    rooted in RPG mechanics.
[08:49] Isla
    That reminds me. They did catch
    Atou off guard, didn't they?
[08:53] Isla
    I understand.
[08:55] Isla
    I'll be quite careful.
[08:58] Caria
    Mother...
[08:59] Isla
    Don't give me that look.
[09:02] Isla
    I'll make sure I come home.
[09:04] Isla
    I promised you, right?
[09:05] Maria
    Yeah!
[09:06] Caria
    We'll take care of
    the king and wait for you!
[09:10] Isla
    Please do.
[09:11] Both
    Yes!
[09:17] Isla
    Now then, I'll be heading out!
[09:32] FlameKnight
    Man, this is one creepy forest.
[09:35] FK
    Why did we have to split away from Sir Ice
    Rock and invade this place on our own?
[09:41] FlameMage
    About that...
[09:43] FK
    Huh?
[09:44] FM
    There's a good chance this operation
    doesn't have the Demon Lord's permission.
[09:49] FK
    Huh?!
[09:51] FM
    The boss might be planning
    to betray the Demon Lord.
[09:54] FK
    Seriously?! Why would he do that?
[09:57] FM
    Do you remember when we
    first came to this world?
[10:01] FK
    Yeah.
[10:02] FK
    One moment, we were all here
    in the same place. Right?
[10:07] FM
    Apparently, it was different for
    the boss and the Demon Lord.
[10:10] FK
    Hmm?
[10:15] FK
    Scouts?
[10:17] FM
    Wait! Something's off.
[10:23] Orc
    Wh-What's happening to me?
[10:29] FK
    What happened to you?!
[10:32] Orc
    I-I...
[10:37] FK
    Halt right there!
[10:42] FK
    What are these things?!
[10:51] FM
    Shit!
[10:52] FM
    Retreat!
[10:52] FM
    Fall back and regroup!
[10:54] FK
    Y-Yeah!
[10:56] Isla
    My, my, how pathetic.
[10:59] FM
    Who's there?!
[11:01] Isla
    Retreating over just this?
[11:03] Isla
    You all are part of the Demon Lord's
    army, the forces of darkness, aren't you?
[11:08] FK
    Where are you?!
[11:09] FK
    Show yourself!
[11:12] Isla
    If you're the forces of darkness,
[11:20] Isla
    then you need to be more beautiful,
    ruthless, and thorough.
[11:37] Isla
    Hmm...
[11:38] Isla
    They're not very nutritious, are they?
[11:41] Isla
    I suppose I'd give them a thirty.
[11:45] Isla
    I'm talking about your minions, you know?
[11:50] Flamin
    Uh-huh, that's an awful
    thing to say about 'em.
[12:01] Flamin
    Introduce yourself, freak.
[12:03] Isla
    I serve the kingdom of Mynoghra, governed
    by the great King of Ruin, King Ira Takuto.
[12:09] Isla
    I am one of its Heroes, Isla, Queen of Bugs.
[12:15] Isla
    And you are?
[12:16] Flaming
    One of the Demon Lord Army's Four
    Generals, Flamin, the Flame Demon.
[12:24] Isla
    The Four Generals!
[12:25] Isla
    There really was one here!
[12:28] Flamin
    Huh?
[12:29] Isla
    I thought there must be one of the
    leaders here with an army of this size.
[12:36] Isla
    Just like Ice Rock was there in Dragontan.
[12:41] Flamin
    So what, that guy got taken out?
[12:44] Flamin
    Well, I ain't surprised.
[12:46] Flamin
    He was just a muscle-head anyway.
[12:48] Isla
    Oh my, he was one of your allies, wasn't he?
[12:51] Isla
    What an awful way to speak of him.
[12:55] Flamin
    He was always the weakest
    of us Four Generals.
[12:57] Flamin
    I've got a good two steps up on him.
[13:00] Flamin
    So if you're thinking I'll go down
    just as easily, you're dead wrong.
[13:04] Isla
    Well, well, you sound awfully
    confident in yourself.
[13:12] Flamin
    Yeah.
[13:13] Flamin
    It'll be a cinch for me to murder you and
    drag that big shot behind you off his throne.
[13:19] Flamin
    What'd you call him again?
[13:21] Flamin
    King Ira Takuto, was it?
[13:27] Isla
    That's quite a bark for a piece of trash.
[13:30] Flamin
    Don't get cocky, fly.
[13:54] Takuto
    So it's started.
[13:56] Takuto
    Isla is currently engaged
    with the Flame Demon, Flamin.
SIGN    Isla, Queen of Bugs
SIGN    The Flame Demon,
     Flamin.
[14:01] Takuto
    When you pit an RPG character
    against those from a 4X game,
[14:05] Takuto
    the 4X game characters are
    overwhelmingly stronger in combat.
[14:10] Takuto
    We've already confirmed that
    in the battle at Dragontan.
[14:13] Takuto
    It's only a matter of time
    before she defeats him.
SIGN    Larvae
SIGN    Larvae
SIGN    Larvae
SIGN    Larvae
SIGN    Larvae
[14:16] Takuto
    The Larvae not participating
    in the fight against Flamin
[14:19] Takuto
    are patrolling the Accursed Lands
    and defeating the invaders.
[14:24] Takuto
    Gia and the Warriors are deployed in
    defensive formations around the capital.
SIGN    Head Warrior Gia
[14:29] Takuto
    Emle is handling the Dark
    Elves who evacuated.
SIGN    Brain Eaters
[14:33] Takuto
    The Brain Eaters are standing
    by close at hand.
[14:38] Takuto
    Everything's going smoothly...
    at least in theory.
[14:42] Takuto
    Hmm...
[14:45] Caria
    My king?
[14:46] Maria
    What are you thinking about?
[14:48] Takuto
    I wonder what it is?
[14:51] Takuto
    Something is nagging at me...
[14:55] Takuto
    Hmm, is anything sticking out to you two?
[15:12] Flamin
    Damn, man!
[15:13] Flamin
    This is totally crazy!
[15:15] Flamin
    Didn't know there were freaks
    like you in this world!
[15:22] Isla
    Calling me a freaks is quite rude, you know.
[15:30] Isla
    It's certainly not a term you
    should be using with a woman.
[15:34] Isla
    Don't you agree?
[15:44] Flamin
    Cheeky bitch!
[15:48] Flamin
    It ain't fair if you get to
    be the only one with pawns!
[15:56] Isla
    Summoning them at no cost?
[15:59] Isla
    Now that's very much cheating.
[16:02] Isla
    Might I ask you a question?
[16:05] Flamin
    Huh? We're trying to kill each other here.
[16:12] Isla
    Now, don't be like that.
[16:14] Isla
    My master wishes to know.
[16:21] Isla
    Why did you attack us?
[16:31] Flamin
    Hey, now! What the hell?!
[16:33] Flamin
    You got no standards?!
[16:40] Isla
    Splitting your forces away
    from Dragontan to attack us
[16:45] Isla
    seems like a foolish strategy, doesn't it?
[16:48] Flamin
    You want to know why?!
[16:51] Flamin
    Don't you know?
[16:53] Flamin
    Or is your boss just hiding it from you all?
[16:56] Flamin
    Either way, I feel sorry for you, damn!
[16:59] Isla
    Thank you for the warning.
[17:01] Isla
    However, words like that aren't
    going to shake my loyalty.
[17:06] Flamin
    I knew that already!
[17:09] Flamin
    And you?
[17:10] Flamin
    What do you think about yourself?
[17:13] Isla
    I don't quite understand the
    intent of your question.
[17:16] Isla
    I take it you harbor doubts
    about your own state of being.
[17:19] Flamin
    Just answer the damn question!
[17:23] Isla
    I am a Hero of Mynoghra,
[17:26] Isla
    and the loyal servant of
    our king, King Ira Takuto.
[17:30] Isla
    Nothing more, and nothing less.
[17:35] Flamin
    I hate that shit!
[17:37] Isla
    Oh my, what do you hate so much about that?
[17:42] Flamin
    You call yourself his servant,
[17:44] Flamin
    but you're so goddamn full
    of pride and conviction!
[17:48] Flamin
    Huh? That's it.
[17:50] Flamin
    That's why I'm so pissed off.
[17:54] Flamin
    It's because you all are free.
[17:56] Flamin
    You serve your king of your own volition,
[17:58] Flamin
    and it's your own choice to
    dedicate your loyalty to him.
[18:02] Flamin
    Hey, how's that feel, anyway?
[18:05] Flamin
    Serving someone of your own free will?
[18:08] Isla
    Ahh, so that's what the issue is.
[18:12] Isla
    "Blissful" sums it up nicely.
[18:16] Isla
    Nothing brings me greater joy
    than proving useful to my master.
[18:22] Isla
    So?
[18:24] Isla
    What about you,
[18:26] Isla
    Mister Puppet, forced to dance to the
    strings of the role imposed upon you?
[18:33] Flamin
    It feels shitty as hell!
[18:37] Flamin
    However!
[18:38] Flamin
    Once I kill you—
[18:40] Flamin
    kill all of you here—
[18:42] Flamin
    then I'll obtain it too!
[18:44] Flamin
    I'll get my freedom!
[18:50] Isla
    I see.
[18:51] Isla
    So that's your intention then.
[18:53] Isla
    Ah...
[18:54] Isla
    How lovely!
[18:56] Isla
    You're quite charming right now!
[18:59] Flamin
    Can it, fly!
[19:01] Flamin
    Burn up and be gone already!
[19:12] Flamin
    Got you!
[19:31] Isla
    Is that it?
[19:33] Isla
    That's the extent of your thirst for freedom?
[19:37] Flamin
    Don't you dare mock me!
[19:45] Isla
    That's just not enough.
[19:46] Isla
    If you truly want to kill me,
[19:48] Isla
    you'll need to prepare
    at least five times more.
[19:58] Isla
    You're out of MP, aren't you?
[20:09] Isla
    I have one final message
    for you from my master.
[20:14] Isla
    He says, "You took us too lightly."
[20:22] (Flashback) DemonLord
    Is that true?
[20:25] (Flashback) DemonLord
    We'll really obtain peace and freedom?
[20:30] (Flashback) DemonLord
    If we offer up this world?
[20:36] Flamin
    Ah, in the end...
[20:39] Flamin
    I guess I'm nothing but a puppet?
[20:42] Flamin
    In that case...
[20:43] Flamin
    I'll dance my part until the very end!
SIGN    You have defeated the Blazing General Flamin.
[21:02] Isla
    Phew.
[21:03] Takuto
    Good work, Isla.
[21:06] Isla
    Oh my, Master!
[21:08] Isla
    If you're speaking to me,
[21:10] Isla
    then that means you were
    watching, weren't you?
[21:12] Takuto
    Yeah, you were splendid.
[21:14] Isla
    Thank you very much.
[21:16] Isla
    I gained another level
    from this battle as well.
[21:20] Isla
    I'm thinking of obtaining a new skill—
