[00:00] Lonius
    So these are the Accursed Lands and the
    Cursed Sea of Trees that bars all life?
[00:05] Verdel
    Let's go.
[00:06] Lonius
    Yes.
[00:11] Lonius
    A young girl?
[00:12] Verdel
    Stop right there, girl!
[00:14] Verdel
    Who are you?!
[00:17] Atou
    I'm a Dark Elf who fled into
    these woods to survive.
[00:21] Verdel
    Our business is with this forest.
[00:23] Verdel
    You won't mind us entering, will you?
[00:25] Atou
    You mustn't do that.
[00:26] Atou
    I ask that you please refrain.
[00:32] Verdel
    We're leaving.
[00:35] Lonius
    What do you think you're doing?!
[00:36] Verdel
    She said they just want to live in peace.
[00:39] Verdel
    So there's no problem here.
[00:41] Verdel
    There's no problem here.
[00:42] Verdel
    That's the result of our investigation.
[00:46] Verdel
    Henceforth, I shall be taking command!
[00:50] Verdel
    We will now enter the Accursed Lands
    and conduct our investigation!
[00:53] Verdel
    To ascertain the truth of this calamity!
[00:56] Bargo
    As you say, boss.
[00:57] Verdel
    Stop it! Bargo!
[01:03] Atou
    I guess it failed.
[01:06] Lonius
    What happened?
[01:08] Verdel
    It's a Witch!
[01:09] Verdel
    We found a damn Witch!
[01:11] Atou
    And here everything was going so well, too.
[01:16] Atou
    Life doesn't always go your way, does it?
[01:25] Takuto
    It really doesn't.
SIGN    I'm the Monster You've Been Looking For
[03:06] Verdel
    Bargo!
[03:07] Verdel
    I don't care who does it, just get
    a runner back home!
[03:10] Verdel
    They have to know about this!
[03:11] Bargo
    Sorry, buddy.
[03:14] Bargo
    She just took out our
    messengers with that attack.
[03:18] Atou
    Come on. I'm the monster
    you've been looking for.
[03:21] Atou
    The calamity you were searching
    for has appeared before you.
[03:27] Lonius
    Sir Verdel!
[03:29] Verdel
    Don't lose your nerve now!
[03:31] Verdel
    We have no choice but to fight at this point!
[03:33] Verdel
    Everyone, combat formation!
[03:36] Verdel
    Ready your weapons!
[03:38] Verdel
    We will now eliminate the calamity!
[03:40] Men
    Yeah!
[03:41] Atou
    Oh? You're attacking me?
[03:48] Verdel
    Fire!
[03:54] Atou
    No mercy!
[03:56] Atou
    That's good!
[03:57] Atou
    I like this!
[03:59] Atou
    Love it, in fact!
[04:01] Lonius
    Impossible!
[04:02] Verdel
    Dammit!
[04:04] Verdel
    This is horrible!
[04:05] Verdel
    And everything nearly went so well!
[04:07] Atou
    I'm completely in agreement.
[04:10] Atou
    I also regret that it's come to this.
[04:15] Atou
    Though it's all the fault of that fool
[04:19] Atou
    who brandished his silly piety
[04:22] Atou
    and tried to pry where he shouldn't.
[04:25] Lonius
    Sir Verdel, what... exactly is a Witch?
[04:30] Verdel
    I was ordered to keep it strictly
    confidential by the higher-ups,
[04:33] Verdel
    but I guess I should have told you.
[04:35] Verdel
    When the saint receives a revelation
    and the upper ranks confirm it,
[04:39] Verdel
    that monster is designated as
    a calamity and called a Witch.
[04:43] Verdel
    The commotion up north was
    caused by a Witch too!
[04:49] Verdel
    This woman is likely that very same thing!
[04:52] Verdel
    Do you understand how dangerous
    the situation we're in is now?!
[04:55] Lonius
    Yes!
[04:56] Atou
    All done?
[04:58] Atou
    All finished chatting?
[05:01] Verdel
    Mercenaries, fall back!
[05:03] Verdel
    We'll face her!
[05:05] Verdel
    Follow my lead, Lonius!
[05:07] Both
    O God! Grant me the power
    to strike down evil!
[05:18] Atou
    So slow. Weak, too.
[05:20] Verdel
    Nah, that ain't necessarily the case!
[05:30] Verdel
    First, we'll deal with those
    disgusting tentacles!
[05:33] Verdel
    We're cutting them all off!
[05:34] Lonius
    Yes!
[05:37] Atou
    Using a god's blessing to
    deliver a divine strike?
[05:40] Atou
    The effect is a special attack bonus
    against evil-aligned entities, I'd say.
[05:45] Atou
    This is the problem with units
    from a good civilization.
[05:50] Verdel
    Just three more!
[05:52] Atou
    Why, you!
[05:59] Verdel
    Well done!
[06:01] Verdel
    What?!
[06:02] Verdel
    Shit!
[06:05] Verdel
    Dammit!
[06:07] Lonius
    Sir Verdel!
[06:08] Atou
    Pardon me.
[06:09] Atou
    I was taking you Paladins a bit too lightly.
[06:12] Atou
    You've proven stronger than expected.
[06:15] Atou
    However, how is this for you?
[06:18] Atou
    Can you strike now?
[06:20] Atou
    You can't, can you?
[06:21] Atou
    This is why I love humans.
[06:23] Atou
    You care for each other so much
    that you make perfect shields!
[06:27] Mercenary
    S-Save me!
[06:29] Lonius
    You fiend!
[06:31] Verdel
    Restrain yourself, Lonius!
[06:33] Verdel
    Just two more.
[06:35] Verdel
    Cut off two more, and we win.
[06:39] Lonius
    But then—
[06:41] Verdel
    If we defeat that fiend, then
    we'll purge the calamity.
[06:44] Verdel
    There won't be any harm to our homeland.
[06:47] Verdel
    Think of the bigger picture right now!
[06:49] Lonius
    I understand.
[06:52] Atou
    What?! Why are you attacking?!
[06:56] Atou
    The hostages too?!
[06:58] Lonius
    I'm sorry, but—
[07:00] Verdel
    This is—
[07:12] Lonius
    Huh?
[07:15] Verdel
    Run!
[07:17] Verdel
    Run, Loni—!
[07:24] Lonius
    S-Sir Verdel?!
[07:33] Lonius
    How?
[07:35] Lonius
    We cut all the tentacles!
[07:37] Atou
    Did I ever say I only had six?
[07:40] Atou
    I can replace these as much as I want.
[07:43] Lonius
    Wha?!
[07:45] Lonius
    She was toying with us
    from the very start?
[07:51] Atou
    Now then...
[07:55] Lonius
    Run!
[07:56] Bargo
    Huh?
[07:57] Lonius
    Have everyone scatter and
    run in different directions!
[07:59] Lonius
    At least one person must survive
    to warn our homeland about this!
[08:08] Atou
    You just had to do that.
[08:14] Lonius
    How are you...
[08:15] Atou
    Able to use Holy Sword Artes, you ask?
[08:23] Atou
    I stole them.
[08:25] Atou
    From that man there.
[08:27] Lonius
    Stole them?
[08:28] Atou
    Yes.
[08:29] Atou
    All the diligent effort he put in,
[08:31] Atou
    all the techniques he honed,
[08:34] Atou
    became mine the moment I killed him!
[08:39] Atou
    The skill behind this technique!
[08:41] Atou
    It seems Paladin Verdel
[08:43] Atou
    was a man worthy of being
    called a powerful fighter.
[08:47] Atou
    Though he died from your shortsightedness!
[08:50] Atou
    So your wife's name is Marsha,
    and Mina's your daughter?
[08:55] Lonius
    How do you know that?! Did you also...
[08:58] Atou
    Yes, I stole it!
[09:00] Atou
    His feelings, his memories, everything!
[09:02] Lonius
    I-Impossible!
[09:05] Lonius
    Skills, memories...
[09:07] Lonius
    She steals everything from those she kills?
[09:10] Lonius
    So that means she only gets
    stronger the more she kills?!
[09:14] Atou
    "If I die here, what will happen
    to Lonius and his family?"
[09:20] Atou
    "The mercenaries, and even myself, all
    have people waiting for our return!"
[09:26] Atou
    How heroic.
[09:27] Atou
    No wonder he was a High Paladin.
[09:29] Atou
    He was concerned for all of your
    safety until his final moment.
[09:34] Atou
    So what are you feeling after
    hearing that, Paladin Lonius?!
[09:42] Lonius
    H-His will still lives on!
[09:45] Lonius
    While I'm keeping you in check here,
[09:48] Lonius
    the mercenaries can escape!
[09:52] Lonius
    What?!
[09:53] Atou
    Oh, that's the Dark Elves.
[09:56] Atou
    I ordered them to not let a single man escape.
[10:00] Atou
    Huh?
[10:01] Atou
    Did I ever say that I was alone?
[10:17] Atou
    Why don't we talk about a
    future that could have been?
[10:20] Atou
    This is what would have happened if
    you had listened to Paladin Verdel:
[10:27] Atou
    You would have returned home safely
[10:29] Atou
    and been reunited with your beloved family.
[10:31] Atou
    You would have enjoyed the peaceful
    happiness of an ordinary life,
[10:35] Atou
    and continued offering your
    prayers of gratitude to your god.
[10:38] Atou
    Meanwhile, we would have been
    blessed with peace as well.
[10:42] Atou
    The forest would have remained tranquil,
[10:44] Atou
    and I would have gone to bed
    hoping that could last forever.
[10:51] Atou
    Now, let's talk about the
    future you have chosen.
[10:54] Atou
    You will die.
[10:56] Atou
    Then your family will die too.
[10:59] Atou
    I'll hunt them down and kill them.
[11:03] Atou
    I'll torment them, and torment them,
[11:05] Atou
    and torment them, until they plead
    for death. Only then will I kill them.
[11:09] Atou
    After that, I'll go to every village and
    town you all stopped at on your way here,
[11:14] Atou
    and I'll kill everyone living there.
[11:16] Atou
    There won't be much point or meaning to that,
[11:19] Atou
    but I might as well kill them.
[11:21] Atou
    When they ask me why,
[11:23] Atou
    I'll tell them it was because
    of your foolish actions,
[11:27] Atou
    then I'll kill them.
[11:29] Lonius
    Stop!
[11:30] Atou
    When people disregard you, you're finished.
[11:33] Atou
    So be sure to kill them when they do.
[11:36] Atou
    That's what I was taught
    by someone precious to me.
[11:39] Atou
    So I'm killing them.
[11:41] Atou
    I'll kill them without exception,
[11:43] Atou
    to make sure none ever look down on me,
[11:45] Atou
    no matter how many hundreds, thousands,
    or millions that number has to climb to.
[11:53] Atou
    This is what you have chosen.
[11:57] Lonius
    S-Stop!
[11:59] Lonius
    Stop it, please!
[12:02] Atou
    I'm sure you were a good person!
[12:05] Atou
    You believed in your god,
[12:06] Atou
    devoted yourself to your nation,
[12:07] Atou
    and loved your family!
[12:09] Atou
    How commendable!
[12:11] Atou
    But this is why I hate those
    who believe they are just.
[12:19] Atou
    Farewell, Paladin Lonius.
[12:24] Atou
    Please watch from your VIP seat in heaven.
[12:27] Atou
    Watch as those dear to you and all those
    innocent bystanders suffer atrocious deaths.
[13:04] Gia
    Lady Atou.
[13:06] Atou
    Yes, Gia?
[13:08] Gia
    We finished off everyone as you ordered.
[13:11] Atou
    I'm sure our king will be
    delighted to hear that as well.
[13:15] Atou
    I'm heading back, then.
[13:18] Atou
    You're in charge of disposing of the corpses.
[13:21] Gia
    Umm...
[13:23] Atou
    What is it?
[13:25] Gia
    Are you actually going to carry
    out what you just said to him?
[13:29] Atou
    Hmm?
[13:32] Atou
    Oh, come on!
[13:34] Atou
    There's no way I'm doing all that!
[13:36] Gia
    Huh?
[13:37] Atou
    I'm a pacifist.
[13:39] Atou
    I was just messing around!
[13:41] Atou
    Just messing with him!
SIGN    Pacifist?
[13:44] Atou
    Oh, shoot!
[13:45] Atou
    I don't have time to waste here.
[13:48] Atou
    I need to hurry back to our king!
[13:51] Gia
    Is there something concerning you?
[13:53] Atou
    Yes.
[13:56] Atou
    There's something I need
    to tell our king at once.
[14:12] Takuto
    Witches...
[14:14] Takuto
    There wasn't a unit like that
    in Eternal Nations, was there?
[14:18] Atou
    There wasn't.
[14:19] Atou
    It would seem this world definitely
    isn't the world of the game.
[14:23] Takuto
    I see.
[14:27] Takuto
    I thought that might be the case,
[14:31] Takuto
    but I guess we really have
    come to another world.
[14:34] Atou
    The game's mechanics have
    been applicable to an extent,
[14:38] Atou
    but we should operate under the assumption
    that the world functions differently.
[14:43] Takuto
    That's troublesome.
[14:44] Atou
    However, there are also good aspects
    to it being different from the game.
[14:50] Takuto
    You're referring to your ability?
[14:52] Atou
    Yes.
[14:55] Takuto
    The special ability Atou
    possessed in the game
[14:58] Takuto
    granted her a set chance
[15:00] Takuto
    to steal a defeated unit's ability.
[15:04] Takuto
    But...
[15:06] Atou
    I'm able to steal my defeated opponents'
    memories to some degree as well.
[15:10] Atou
    This will prove a great
    weapon in our arsenal.
[15:14] Takuto
    Right. Thanks to that, we've learned
    about the situation in Qualia
[15:17] Takuto
    without sending anyone to investigate.
[15:19] Atou
    Yes.
[15:20] Atou
    It's fortunate for us that Qualia
    doesn't have the forces to spare
[15:23] Atou
    thanks to the disaster in the place
    they call the Northern Province.
[15:26] Takuto
    Good. We can take it easy for a while, then.
[15:31] Atou
    I think they're likely to take some kind
    of action after we wiped them out, though.
[15:36] Takuto
    They don't have any information on us.
[15:40] Takuto
    So even if they do act, they'll
    have to do so with caution.
[15:44] Takuto
    What concerns me more is
    the cause of that disaster.
[15:48] Takuto
    The Northern Disturbance...
[15:50] Takuto
    It was caused by a Witch, right?
[15:53] Atou
    Yes. According to the memories I stole.
[15:57] Takuto
    Do you know anything else?
[16:01] Atou
    Unfortunately, not much.
[16:03] Atou
    It seems even Qualia doesn't
    know much about the Witch.
[16:07] Atou
    What they do know
[16:08] Atou
    is that she's caused damage on par with
    armies to the cities of the Northern Province,
[16:13] Atou
    and what she's called.
[16:16] Takuto
    Let me hear it.
[16:18] Atou
    Apparently she's called
    "Erakino, the Slurping Witch."
[16:22] Erakino
    Click, clack, click, clack.
[16:31] Erakino
    Rattle, roll, rattle, roll.
[16:34] Erakino
    The gods never roll the dice.
[16:37] Erakino
    Dreams and hope are nowhere to be found.
[16:39] Erakino
    Life is all just killing time.
[16:43] Erakino
    All right then, we're off to the next city!
[16:45] Erakino
    All my simps, come on!
[17:00] Takuto
    Atou,
[17:01] Takuto
    that Northern Disturbance
    occurred recently, right?
[17:07] Atou
    Yes.
[17:08] Takuto
    So a monster showed up
[17:10] Takuto
    that's capable of causing damage on
    par with armies in such a short time?
[17:16] Takuto
    Maybe it's possible they came
    to this world much like we did?
[17:23] Takuto
    Either way, it's clear that they have
    someone with the strength of Hero units.
[17:29] Takuto
    This is a troublesome turn of events.
[17:34] Atou
    What shall we do about it?
[17:36] Atou
    Judging by their actions, I believe
    they're also evil-aligned,
[17:41] Atou
    but would you like to try
    reaching out to them?
[17:44] Takuto
    I don't think we should do that.
[17:47] Takuto
    We'll never get along anyway.
[17:49] Takuto
    Not when we're both evil.
[17:51] Atou
    That's true.
[17:55] Atou
    Everything was going so well, too.
[17:58] Atou
    Why do we have to deal with
    one problem after another?
[18:01] Takuto
    Well, it's happening in the distant north.
[18:04] Takuto
    The fact that we have time to deal
    with it is a blessing, at least.
[18:07] Atou
    Yes.
[18:09] Takuto
    Atou, now that we know they have
    combat strength equal to a Hero unit,
[18:14] Takuto
    there's one thing we have to do.
[18:17] Atou
    Produce a new Hero, right?
[18:19] Takuto
    Exactly.
[18:21] Takuto
    I was planning on producing Isla,
[18:24] Takuto
    but maybe I should reconsider that now.
[18:27] Takuto
    Maybe it would be better to
    focus on combat potential.
[18:29] Atou
    Good point.
[18:31] Atou
    It'll still take a bit more time to gather
    the necessary mana to produce a Hero.
[18:36] Atou
    I'll lend what little help
    I can too, King Takuto!
[18:40] Takuto
    Thanks, Atou.
[18:42] Takuto
    Though Isla's not the only
    thing I need to reconsider.
[18:46] Atou
    Meaning?
[18:48] Takuto
    I'm thinking of altering
    our policies a little.
[18:51] Atou
    Our policies?
[18:54] Takuto
    Let's forge an alliance.
[18:56] Atou
    Huh?!
[18:59] Takuto
    We have a clear enemy in Qualia.
[19:02] Takuto
    Plus we have the uncertain
    element of the Witch.
[19:05] Takuto
    So I want to have another nation on our side.
[19:07] Atou
    I understand your reasoning,
[19:09] Atou
    but is that possible?
[19:10] Atou
    We're evil-aligned, you know.
[19:13] Takuto
    It's possible if there's
    value for the other nation.
[19:15] Takuto
    Of course, that will only work
    with a neutral-aligned nation.
[19:19] Atou
    A neutral-aligned...
[19:21] Atou
    You mean the nation to our east?
[19:23] Takuto
    Yeah!
[19:25] Takuto
    Once the Palace is complete,
[19:26] Takuto
    I want to investigate that nation
    while strengthening our forces.
[19:31] Takuto
    We need to find out if they're
    willing to join forces with us.
[19:47] Beastman
    That's a Staff Holder for you!
[19:48] Man
    She defeated so many barbarians so easily!
[19:51] Tonukapoli
    Quit putting your elders on a pedestal!
[19:54] Tonukapoli
    Hurry up and clear away the
    dead before you celebrate!
[19:57] DefenseForce
    Yes!
[20:01] Beastman
    W-What's that?!
[20:02] Tonukapoli
    Umm...
[20:03] Tonukapoli
    Wha?!
[20:09] Man
    You're kidding, right?
[20:10] Beastman
    I've never seen numbers like that!
[20:13] Tonukapoli
    Quit gawking at them!
[20:15] Tonukapoli
    Ready your arms!

    Also, messengers!
[20:18] Tonukapoli
    Go call for reinforcements!
[20:19] Beastman
    Yes!
[20:25] Tonukapoli
    What is happening here?
[20:39] Atou
    Umm, King Takuto?
[20:43] Takuto
    Hmm? What is it?
[20:47] Atou
    Umm, well, see...
[20:50] Takuto
    Hmm?
[20:53] Atou
    I figured I might have soured your mood.
[21:02] Takuto
    Hmm?
[21:03] Atou
    W-Well, you know!
[21:05] Atou
    Umm, I might have gone just a little
    too far against those Paladins...
[21:12] Takuto
    What about it?
[21:14] Atou
    Huh?
[21:19] Atou
    Hmm?
[21:26] Takuto
    It's all right.
[21:28] Takuto
    I would never be offended
    by anything you did, Atou.
[21:32] Takuto
    I really rely on you a lot, Atou,
[21:36] Takuto
    so please don't worry about that.
[21:38] Takuto
    Just continue supporting me.
[21:41] Atou
    King Takuto!
[21:44] Atou
    Of course!
[21:46] Atou
    I'll support you with every
    fiber of my being, King Takuto!
[21:51] Atou
    Now, give me any command you please!
[21:54] Atou
    Go on!
