**[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.
