[00:17] DemonLord
    To think such delicate children
    would be able to reach me.
[00:23] DemonLord
    It seems fate dearly loves toying with me.
[00:28] DemonLord
    Therefore, you two must die here.
[00:34] DemonLord
    Once I destroy everything
[00:36] DemonLord
    and offer up this world,
[00:38] DemonLord
    I will obtain my freedom.
[00:40] DemonLord
    That was the agreement I forged with God.
[00:46] DemonLord
    I'd like to confirm one
    thing before we do battle.
[00:50] DemonLord
    Do you two believe in the existence of God?
[00:55] Both
    No such thing exists.
SIGN    Then the Game of the Gods Begins
[02:38] DemonLord
    I know not how you managed
    to destroy my minions,
SIGN    The Demon Lord has appeared!
SIGN    The Demon Lord has deployed Dark Barrier!
[02:47] DemonLord
    but you will not even scratch me.
SIGN    The power of the Hero has dispelled the darkness!
SIGN    Dark Barrier has vanished!
[03:00] DemonLord
    My Dark Barrier prevents all
    physical and magic attacks.
[03:04] DemonLord
    Only the Hero can negate it!
[03:08] DemonLord
    What's going on here?
[03:09] DemonLord
    I was promised that a Hero
    didn't exist in this world.
[03:20] DemonLord
    You have no intention of conversing, do you?
[03:24] DemonLord
    Come to think of it,
[03:25] DemonLord
    the Hero I knew was also a silent man.
SIGN    The Demon Lord transformed into his true form!
[03:42] DemonLord
    Is it that odd for me to
    transform from the start?
[03:45] DemonLord
    Many of my limitations have
    been lost in this world,
[03:48] DemonLord
    so fighting you in stages like I
    did in the game would be uncouth.
[03:52] DemonLord
    Defeating the two of you
[03:54] DemonLord
    must be a trial imposed upon me.
[03:57] DemonLord
    My intuition tells me I must
    not underestimate you.
[04:01] DemonLord
    Now, blades, bring me their deaths!
[04:09] Maria
    So pretty!
SIGN    The Demon Lord's weapons have forgotten how to attack.
[04:17] Maria
    Caria!
[04:18] Caria
    Yes!
SIGN    The ground has been infected with Plague and melted
     away from rot.
[04:24] DemonLord
    Impudent!
SIGN    The Demon Lord's weapons have
    forgotten their curses.
[04:38] DemonLord
    What absurdity!
[04:40] DemonLord
    But that is what makes it a trial for me!
[05:04] DemonLord
    I won't be defeated!
[05:05] DemonLord
    God is on my side.
[05:08] DemonLord
    I will fulfill my agreement with God
[05:10] DemonLord
    and obtain my peace and freedom.
[05:17] Maria
    There is no God, you know?
[05:19] Maria
    They don't exist anywhere.
[05:20] Caria
    If you believe that something
    will come to save you,
[05:23] Caria
    then you'll only face awful suffering later.
[05:25] Maria
    We never should have believed that.
[05:28] Caria
    We lost everything because
    we dared to believe that.
[05:33] DemonLord
    I will not die!
[05:35] DemonLord
    So long as my will remains,
[05:37] DemonLord
    then I swear upon the name of God,
[05:39] DemonLord
    I will not die!
SIGN    The Demon Lord healed his injuries through
     sheer willpower!
[05:44] DemonLord
    Oh!
[05:46] DemonLord
    I knew God was watching over me!
[05:50] DemonLord
    Now, listen!
[05:51] DemonLord
    The name of the God that
    will grant me victory is...
SIGN    One must not invoke
SIGN    the name of God in vain.
[06:11] Maria
    Who are you?
[06:13] Student(Kamimiyadera Yuu)
    Huh? Did I just screw up?
[06:16] Caria
    Why have you interfered?
[06:18] Student
    Well, uh...
[06:20] Student
    you two were under attack,
[06:21] Student
    so I thought I'd save you?
[06:23] Caria
    Did we look like we needed saving?
[06:26] Student
    Well, what do I say? It was an accident?
[06:29] Student
    Yeah, it was an accident! Believe me!
[06:31] Student
    Come on, those angry looks don't
    belong on cute girls like you, right?
[06:38] Maria
    Did you interfere to achieve some objective?
[06:41] Student
    Stop it!
[06:42] Student
    With the power you two have now,
[06:45] Student
    you'll never beat me.
[06:47] Caria
    This boy is weird.
[06:49] Maria
    Everything he says sounds like a lie.
[06:51] Maria
    But that doesn't even matter.
[06:53] Maria
    This boy defiled our battle.
[06:57] Caria
    He ruined our atonement to Mother.
[07:03] Atou
    That's enough.
[07:09] Atou
    Glacial Decapitation...
[07:12] Atou
    Being guaranteed to hit is simply the result.
[07:14] Atou
    Its true essence is halting all phenomena?
[07:17] Atou
    I'm surprised it can force its way
    into actions already initiated.
[07:20] Student
    Urk, another girl?
[07:25] Atou
    Our king has issued orders to return.
[07:27] Atou
    You've accomplished your
    goal, haven't you? Then—
[07:30] Maria
    That boy interfered!
[07:39] Atou
    I don't think you understood me.
[07:42] Atou
    I just conveyed our king's orders.
[07:46] Caria
    We don't want you to get in our way.
[07:49] Atou
    You little brat!
[07:52] Atou
    Have you grown arrogant with power?!
[07:56] Atou
    I can't take the twins' powers lightly.
[07:58] Atou
    Though that's not a problem.
[08:00] Atou
    Using that technique prevents
    me from moving for a while,
[08:04] Atou
    but I already confirmed I can move again first.
[08:08] Atou
    So long as I don't kill them,
[08:10] Atou
    King Takuto will forgive me.
[08:16] Maria
    We won't let you interfere either, Atou.
[08:19] Caria
    After all, our king already told us
[08:22] Caria
    we can do anything.
[08:24] (Flashback) Takuto
    You're free to do anything,
[08:26] (Flashback) Takuto
    and you don't have to ask
    for forgiveness to do anything.
[08:35] (Flashback) Takuto
    So long as you behave in a way
    your mother would be proud of,
[08:38] (Flashback) Takuto
    then I'll praise everything about you.
[08:43] (Flashback) Isla
    My, my!
[08:45] (Flashback) Isla
    What adorable little girls you are!
[08:47] Caria
    So long as our mother would be proud...
[08:51] (Flashback) Isla
    So rest easy.
[08:53] (Flashback) Isla
    Now, come sleep in your Isla's arms.
[08:59] Maria
    What would our mother think?
[09:17] Maria
    Caria, let's stop now.
[09:20] Caria
    Big Sis...
[09:26] Maria
    Atou, we're sorry.
[09:28] Caria
    I'm sorry for saying such rude things.
[09:32] Atou
    Given the current situation,
[09:34] Atou
    I'll pretend your outburst never
    happened if you'll follow your orders.
[09:38] Student
    Sorry for butting in! Later!
[09:44] Atou
    A student's uniform?
[09:46] Atou
    If he's the kind of entity
    King Takuto predicted,
[09:50] Atou
    then we just have to ignore him for now.
[09:52] Caria
    Atou?
[09:54] Maria
    Is it possible to bring Mama Isla...
[09:56] Caria
    back to life?
[10:01] Atou
    Unfortunately, Isla is dead.
[10:26] Takuto
    Yeah, got it.
[10:27] Takuto
    Everything should be fine now,
[10:29] Takuto
    but be careful on your way home.
[10:31] Atou
    Understood. I'll see you later.
[10:36] Takuto
    It's over.
[10:38] Takuto
    The mechanics of a 4X strategy
    game were applied to this world.
[10:42] Takuto
    I thought that was a cheat exclusive to me.
[10:45] Takuto
    But now we've faced an enemy with a
    different cheat—the use of RPG mechanics.
SIGN    The Demon Lord transformed into his true form!
[10:51] Takuto
    There are plenty of other
    genres of games out there too.
[11:00] Student
    Th-That was scary!
[11:03] Student
    What did they mean, "There are
    pretty, innocent girls in danger.
[11:06] Student
    I want you to go to rescue them right away."
[11:09] Student
    Stupid God!
[11:11] Slave(Ai)
    Master!
[11:14] Student
    Oh...
[11:16] Slave
    Yes! It's your slave girl...
[11:19] Student
    You weren't hurt, right?
[11:21] Slave
    I'm all right!
[11:22] Slave
    God's mysterious power is
    protecting me, after all!
[11:26] Slave
    So, umm, I received a message for you.
[11:30] Slave
    "Sorry!" they said.
[11:34] Student
    They're making a fool out of me!
[11:36] Student
    For starters, that crazy god
    transferred me here on a wim!
[11:44] Student
    Well, that meant I got to meet you.
[11:48] Slave
    Master!
[11:53] Student
    And they did give me OP powers,
[11:55] Student
    so I am grateful.
[11:57] Slave
    Y-You're incredible, Master!
[12:00] Student
    Good grief.
[12:02] Student
    I guess things don't go as conveniently
    as they do in anime and novels.
[12:05] Student
    Well, still, I guess I'll go save the world!
[12:09] Slave
    Yes! My exclusive Master!
[12:16] Erakino
    Hey, hey!
[12:18] Erakino
    Nice to meet you, and long time no see!
[12:19] Erakino
    You doing well, Sainty?
[12:22] Soalina
    I'm finally going to
    uncover your secret today.
[12:26] Erakino
    Man, this is battle number nineteen, huh?
[12:29] Soalina
    I've made sure to bury
    her all eighteen times before.
[12:34] Soalina
    Even when I completely
    incinerated her corpse,
[12:36] Soalina
    and even when I cast seals on it,
[12:39] Soalina
    she came back to life like nothing happened.
[12:41] Soalina
    This calamity won't end
    until I unravel her mystery.
[12:44] Erakino
    You're so stiff!
[12:45] Erakino
    Why not be a little more chill?
[12:47] Soalina
    I'm simply here to eliminate
    evil in the name of God.
[12:52] Erakino
    Well, to be blunt, I'm going to
    get angry if I don't win soon.
[12:56] Erakino
    So...
[12:57] Erakino
    Time to roll the dice again today.
[13:14] Erakino
    Uhh...
[13:17] Erakino
    Did I just crit?
[13:20] Erakino
    Hell yeah!
[13:21] Erakino
    Rolled a crit!
[13:24] Erakino
    This nineteenth iteration did it!
[13:25] Erakino
    After tweaking and
    tweaking my sheet,
[13:28] Erakino
    Erakino has finally become
    the strongest character!
[13:31] Erakino
    Master! Are you watching?!
[13:33] Erakino
    I did it!
[13:35] Erakino
    Praise me! Praise me!
[13:37] Erakino
    Oh?
[13:37] Erakino
    Sure! It's a request from God, after all!
[13:41] Erakino
    Aye, sir! Aye, sir!
[13:43] Erakino
    My Game Master!
[13:46] Erakino
    Mynoghra, huh?
[13:49] Erakino
    Now, Erakino, time to get to work!
[13:53] Erakino
    As the Dice God wills!
[13:55] Erakino
    As the roll of the dice demands!
[14:02] Takuto
    Going forward, I might have to fight
    other enemies with other game mechanics.
[14:07] Takuto
    If we repeat our performance here this time,
[14:10] Takuto
    then we'll be wiped out next time.
[14:14] Gia
    My king!
[14:15] Gia
    Please forgive me for coming to you directly,
[14:17] Gia
    but the telepathy wasn't reaching you!
[14:20] Gia
    We've restored the guard around
    the Palace, so please return!
[14:23] Takuto
    Leave me alone.
[14:25] Gia
    F-Forgive me!
[14:29] Takuto
    I'm being lousy.
[14:31] Takuto
    Because I got arrogant, I lost Isla
[14:34] Takuto
    and wound up betraying the twins' trust.
[14:37] Takuto
    My naivety caused all of this.
[14:42] Takuto
    Dammit!
[14:48] Takuto
    Huh?
[14:52] Takuto
    No way, right?
[15:09] Takuto
    This isn't a game I'm
    controlling from the outside.
[15:12] Takuto
    Since I'm part of this world, that
    means I'm a unit too, doesn't it?
[15:16] Takuto
    How did I never notice that before?
[15:18] Takuto
    Why didn't I test that from the start?!
[15:21] Takuto
    If I had known that, she
    wouldn't have had to die!
[15:30] Atou
    We're holding an emergency meeting.
[15:33] Atou
    First, I'd like to request the sentence
    for the Elfuur Sisters' insubordination.
[15:39] Takuto
    Nothing.
[15:41] Takuto
    They won't be charged with a crime.
[15:42] Atou
    King Takuto!
[15:44] Atou
    We wouldn't be upholding this country's laws!
[15:46] Atou
    Especially in emergencies like this one,
[15:49] Atou
    we can't permit exceptions without reason—
[15:51] Takuto
    Emergencies, huh?
[15:54] Takuto
    I need to apologize to
    you all regarding that.
[16:01] Takuto
    I'm truly sorry.
[16:03] Takuto
    This was brought about by my
    arrogance and carelessness.
[16:05] Moltar
    P-Please stop!
[16:08] Moltar
    A king must never apologize!
[16:10] Gia
    It's all because we weren't good enough!
[16:13] Takuto
    I also promise you this.
[16:15] Takuto
    I will bring Isla back to life.
[16:19] Caria
    Y-You mean it?
[16:21] Maria
    You can bring her back to life?
[16:23] Atou
    Please hold on!
[16:25] Atou
    I beg your pardon,
[16:26] Atou
    but in our current situation, resurrecting
    our Heroes isn't an option!
[16:29] Takuto
    "Their people shall be
    welcomed into the heavens,
[16:31] Takuto
    and they shall live for eternity in endless
    harmony at the pinnacle of happiness.
[16:36] Takuto
    There shall be no pain or suffering there,
[16:39] Takuto
    and the dead shall return to life to
    rejoin their loved ones once more."
[16:43] Takuto
    The Ascension Victory—the victory in which
    a civilization ascends to a higher plane.
[16:47] Takuto
    If this world is drawing on the
    mechanics of Eternal Nations,
[16:51] Takuto
    then I vow to seize that victory.
[16:54] Takuto
    To restore all we've lost.
[16:57] Atou
    B-But the victory conditions
    are far too difficult!
[16:59] Atou
    The Ascension Victory essentially
    means recreating the world itself!
[17:03] Atou
    The moment others learn
    we're aiming for that,
[17:05] Atou
    the entire world will turn against us!
[17:07] Takuto
    That's all right!
[17:08] Atou
    What grounds do you have
    for concluding that?!
[17:11] Takuto
    Because we'll just kill
    everyone who gets in our way.
[17:18] Atou
    Emergency Production?
[17:20] Takuto
    Now, let's go conquer the world!
[17:25] Takuto
    To be honest, I think this will
    be challenging for all of you!
[17:28] Takuto
    But I know that together, we can do this!
[17:30] Takuto
    Just be sure to listen to what
    I tell you from now on, okay?
[17:40] Takuto
    Modern weapons won't be
    good enough on their own.
[17:42] Takuto
    If we want to achieve the Ascension Victory,
[17:44] Takuto
    I'll need to devise an intricate strategy.
[17:48] Takuto
    I'll have to manage every detail
    of my units' actions myself.
[17:53] Takuto
    I should check on the state
    of our civilization once more.
[17:58] Takuto
    The Dark Elves are all gathered in one spot?
[18:03] Takuto
    What's that?
[18:11] Moltar
    We'll have Lady Isla watch over the
    future of our nation from here.
[18:17] Gia
    Hero of Mynoghra, may you rest in peace.
[18:20] Maria
    It's not a grave.
[18:22] Caria
    Mama Isla's just going to be
    resting there for a while.
[18:27] Caria
    Our king told us
[18:29] Caria
    that he would bring Mother back to life.
[18:31] Maria
    So I'm sure Mother will come back to life!
[18:37] Moltar
    Do you think we can achieve the
    results our king seeks from us?
[18:41] Gia
    He was terrifying.
[18:43] Gia
    Today, our king was far more terrifying
    than he was when I first spoke to him.
[18:48] Emle
    I'm not sure we can keep
    up with our king's plans...
[18:55] Maria
    You're all being big children.
[18:58] Caria
    Only children get frightened,
    lose confidence,
[19:00] Caria
    and become incapable of doing
    what they should be doing.
[19:04] Maria
    Should I be giving you head pats?
[19:10] Moltar
    To think we're being chastised by children!
[19:13] Emle
    But they're right.
[19:15] Emle
    Growing timid like this is childish.
[19:18] Gia
    Even our young ones
[19:20] Gia
    don't hesitate to serve our king.
[19:22] Gia
    I once again vow to follow our king to the
    end, no matter how terrifying it may be,
[19:26] Gia
    and even if the whole world turns against us.
[19:29] Emle
    Our king has always put his trust
    in us and made good use of us.
[19:33] Emle
    Now it's our turn to trust our king.
[19:36] Moltar
    Even if it's lacking, I'll
    scrounge up what wisdom I can
[19:38] Moltar
    and devise strategies to offer to our king!
[19:41] Moltar
    Let's go!
[19:42] All
    Yes!
[20:12] Takuto
    I came close to choosing
    the most horrible strategy.
[20:16] Takuto
    It was thanks to everyone here with me,
[20:20] Takuto
    That we became this nation,
    distinct from the game.
[20:24] Takuto
    That we became Mynoghra. Our nation.
[20:43] Atou
    I shut myself away after I was unable to
    find the words to say to King Takuto yesterday...
[20:48] Atou
    But today, it's different.
[20:51] Atou
    No matter how King Takuto may change,
[20:53] Atou
    my loyalty to him never will!
[20:56] Atou
    My great and mighty king, King Ira Takuto!
[20:59] Atou
    Your Sludge Atou is here!
[21:02] Maria
    There, there.
[21:04] Caria
    We want you to cheer up, my king.
[21:09] Atou
    K-King Takuto?!
[21:14] Takuto
    I got so carried away yesterday
    that I frightened everyone...
[21:18] Atou
    I-It's all right! It's all right!
[21:21] Takuto
    I shouldn't have said it the way I did...
[21:24] Atou
    Th-Then if you were to rephrase it now?
[21:27] Both
    If you were?
[21:31] Takuto
    I won't let the people who place
    their trust in me suffer again.
[21:36] Takuto
    So let's all work together
[21:39] Takuto
    to achieve the Ascension Victory!
[21:43] Atou
    I'll follow you wherever you may go.
[21:45] Maria
    We'll help!
[21:46] Caria
    You can do it, my king!
[21:49] Takuto
    It's something only I can do.
[21:51] Takuto
    As the top player of Eternal Nations,
[21:56] Takuto
    I'll bring us victory out
    of these circumstances.
