**[00:15] Caria**
Why are we...
**[00:18] Maria**
even alive?
***SIGN*** My King, Are You a Bad Person?
***SIGN*** Palace has been completed.
**[02:03] Takuto**
It's finally complete!
**[02:06] Atou**
Yes! The Palace is now complete!
**[02:15] Atou**
We still have a mountain
of problems before us,
**[02:17] Atou**
but this is where our world truly begins.
**[02:20] Takuto**
Uh-huh.
**[02:22] Takuto**
Once we have some leeway,
let's make it bigger.
**[02:25] Takuto**
I love huge palaces!
**[02:27] Atou**
I couldn't have said it better, my king!
**[02:29] Atou**
Our Palace shall pierce the heavens
and spread roots deep in the land!
**[02:33] Atou**
The vassals who serve us shall be
great heroes, both daring and resolute!
**[02:36] Atou**
The women attending to us shall be countless!
**[02:38] Takuto**
Yeah! I'm getting excited!
**[02:42] Atou**
I-I just realized something terrible!
**[02:45] Atou**
We don't have a single attendant
taking care of you, King Takuto!
**[02:50] Takuto**
Now that you mention it, yeah.
**[02:52] Atou**
How could I permit such failure?
**[02:54] Atou**
I've failed you as your servant!
**[02:56] Takuto**
You're going overboard.
**[02:58] Takuto**
I haven't minded it at all.
**[03:00] Atou**
I'm still concerned about it!
**[03:02] Atou**
Do you have any requests for one?
**[03:03] Takuto**
Hmm...
**[03:08] Takuto**
S-Someone who's easy to
talk to would be nice.
***SIGN*** Poor Communicator
**[03:11] Atou**
King Takuto!
**[03:16] Takuto**
I haven't been able to talk
to the Dark Elves at all,
**[03:19] Takuto**
so I've been feeling really lonely.
**[03:20] Takuto**
I want to try to be a friendlier king.
**[03:24] Atou**
Well, King Takuto, that's because
your majesty is a bit too great.
**[03:29] Atou**
But please don't worry!
**[03:31] Atou**
I have a brilliant idea.
**[03:33] Atou**
Would you grant me a little time?
**[03:35] Takuto**
* Nothing good ever happens when Atou's*
* this enthusiastic about something.*
**[03:41] Moltar**
I have humbly come before you
in response to your summons.
**[03:45] Atou**
Elder Moltar!
**[03:46] Atou**
Gather up all of your little girls!
**[03:49] Atou**
Our king desires them!
**[03:51] Both**
Huh?!
**[03:53] Atou**
I'll have little girls attend to him to
help him practice his conversation skills...
**[03:57] Atou**
What a brilliant idea!
**[03:58] Moltar**
P-Please wait a moment, Lady Atou!
**[04:01] Moltar**
For what reason are you
issuing such an order?
**[04:05] Atou**
Because our king likes little girls!
**[04:12] Takuto**
Atou!
**[04:14] Atou**
Yes?!
**[04:18] Moltar**
Now I understand.
**[04:19] Moltar**
Our king seeks to have an innocent child
close by to care for his daily needs
**[04:23] Moltar**
so as to remind himself not to
be shackled by common thinking.
**[04:26] Moltar**
What an impressive mind.
**[04:28] Gia**
That's true.
**[04:29] Gia**
Children often spout outlandish ideas,
**[04:31] Gia**
but occasionally those ideas
spark revelations in adults.
**[04:35] Atou**
There's also another reason.
**[04:37] Atou**
Our king is being thoughtful and trying to
avoid diverting people away from our labor force.
**[04:41] Atou**
We're still very short on hands
at the moment, after all.
**[04:43] Atou**
Even if it is for our king, it's just
helping to take care of one's daily needs.
**[04:46] Atou**
Even a young child is sufficient
for such simple chores.
**[04:51] Gia**
Wouldn't a male child
work just as well, then?
**[04:54] Takuto**
T-That's not the only reason.
**[04:56] Takuto**
Future leadership.
**[04:57] Takuto**
I'll have them study for our future as well.
**[04:59] Takuto**
I'd like to see more opportunities
for women to excel.
**[05:03] Takuto**
I want this to be a step toward that.
**[05:05] Moltar**
Oh!
**[05:06] Moltar**
To show such deep consideration!
**[05:10] Takuto**
*Thank goodness.*
**[05:11] Takuto**
* That was a desperate excuse,*
* but I'm glad they bought it.*
**[05:15] Moltar**
My, my, our king has shown
us many great policies.
**[05:19] Gia**
I'm surprised he's already looking ahead
toward the nurturing of future talent.
**[05:24] Emle**
Our king is impressive!
**[05:26] Takuto**
I'm not that great.
**[05:28] Atou**
Our discussion is over.
**[05:30] Atou**
Now, bring us your children!
**[05:32] Takuto**
I'm counting on you!
**[05:34] Takuto**
*All right!*
**[05:35] Takuto**
* Now to work hard on curing*
* my poor communication!*
**[05:45] Atou**
M-My king, it's just children being children.
**[05:50] Atou**
Our king is pouting!
**[05:52] Atou**
Are there no children who won't
cry at the sight of our king?!
**[05:55] Moltar**
My sincere apologies. This
is all of our children.
**[05:59] Atou**
Weaklings!
**[06:00] Atou**
They're weaklings!
**[06:02] Gia**
Elder Moltar, did you allow
those twins an audience too?
**[06:05] Moltar**
N-No...
**[06:07] Moltar**
Bringing those children before
the king would be rude.
**[06:11] Atou**
What is this about?
**[06:13] Molatar**
How should I describe it?
**[06:14] Molatar**
There is a pair of twin
girls without any family.
**[06:18] Molatar**
They certainly are sensible girls,
but there's a slight issue.
**[06:22] Molatar**
I believe they would be
inappropriate as our king's attendants.
**[06:26] Atou**
Wouldn't wise children be a perfect fit?
**[06:29] Atou**
Well, regardless, we'll see
them and decide for ourselves.
**[06:32] Atou**
Please bring them here.
**[06:35] Gia**
I've already brought them here.
**[06:37] Moltar**
Gia! You work fast, don't you?!
**[06:41] Gia**
Unlike our aging elders,
**[06:43] Gia**
I'm always thinking two or
three steps ahead for our king.
**[06:46] Moltar**
You little whippersnapper!
**[06:49] Atou**
Now, now, please don't fight.
**[06:52] Atou**
Now then, please summon the twins at once.
**[06:56] Gia**
Yes!
**[07:04] Caria**
It's a pleasure to meet you,
great and mighty king.
**[07:07] Caria**
I am called Caria Elfuur.
**[07:11] Maria**
I'm her big sister.
**[07:14] Caria**
My big sister is Maria Elfuur.
**[07:18] Takuto**
N-Nice to meet you.
**[07:22] Atou**
They do seem to be children
with a grim history.
**[07:28] Atou**
You there, how did you get those sores?
**[07:31] Caria**
From a disease.
**[07:33] Takuto**
Poor girl!
**[07:35] Caria**
My king,
**[07:36] Caria**
this is what I deserve.
**[07:39] Moltar**
Allow me to explain for her.
**[07:41] Moltar**
The sores were caused by a plague,
**[07:44] Moltar**
and even though she's completely
recovered from it, that scar remains.
**[07:48] Atou**
And what about your big sister?
**[07:51] Caria**
My big sister went through
something very cruel.
**[07:55] Atou**
Something cruel?
**[07:58] Maria**
I ate Mom.
**[08:04] Atou**
Moltar?
**[08:07] Moltar**
It was a hard decision.
**[08:09] Moltar**
Their mother was a woman to be proud of.
**[08:13] Moltar**
Our clan has never forgotten
the sacrifice she made for us.
**[08:19] Takuto**
*Right...*
**[08:21] Takuto**
* They traveled long and far after*
* being driven from their homes.*
**[08:26] Takuto**
* Of course that meant trials forcing*
* extreme decisions on them too.*
**[08:30] Takuto**
*One of which was starvation.*
**[08:37] Atou**
* The fact that they have the courage*
* not to cower is appealing, but...*
**[08:46] Maria**
My king, you're white!
**[08:50] Takuto**
How so?
**[08:52] Maria**
Hmm, I'm not sure.
**[08:55] Takuto**
Maria, was it?
**[08:57] Takuto**
Are you willing to take care of me?
**[08:59] Maria**
Yeah! I'll take care of you, my king!
**[09:02] Takuto**
It might be hard, with a lot to learn,
**[09:04] Takuto**
but will you do your best?
**[09:06] Maria**
I think I can.
**[09:09] Takuto**
Then starting today, you're a candidate
for the leadership of our great Mynoghra.
**[09:14] Atou**
*O-Our king!*
**[09:16] Atou**
* Our king is a having a proper*
* conversation with a little girl!*
**[09:21] Takuto**
You aren't afraid?
**[09:23] Caria**
A-As her little sister, I have a
duty to stay with my big sister.
**[09:30] Caria**
If that's what Big Sis wants,
**[09:34] Caria**
then I'll do my best alongside her.
**[09:36] Takuto**
That's good.
**[09:37] Takuto**
That's very good of you.
**[09:39] Takuto**
Then you'll stay with us too?
**[09:41] Caria**
Y-You can count on me!
**[09:45] Atou**
Our king has granted his permission.
**[09:48] Atou**
From now on, these two shall
work to take care of our king.
**[09:53] Takuto**
I'll be counting on you two.
**[09:59] Moltar**
My king, there's something you should know.
**[10:02] Takuto**
What is it?
**[10:04] Moltar**
To be honest,
**[10:07] Moltar**
those two haven't cried even
once since losing their mother.
**[10:12] Takuto**
What do you mean?
**[10:13] Moltar**
Their hearts remain closed off.
**[10:16] Moltar**
I beg you to watch over them
with tolerance and mercy.
**[10:30] Maria**
My king, your drink.
**[10:32] Takuto**
Thanks.
**[10:36] Maria**
I spilled it.
**[10:37] Takuto**
I-It's all right.
**[10:41] Caria**
K-King! I'll wipe your clothing!
**[10:46] Takuto**
T-Thanks.
**[10:49] Atou**
Again?
**[10:51] Takuto**
Now, now.
**[10:54] Atou**
Anyway, we have a meeting now.
**[10:57] Atou**
You two will attend as well.
**[10:58] Atou**
Try to avoid any blunders.
**[11:00] Takuto**
Let's go, then.
**[11:02] Both**
Yeah.
**[11:04] Atou**
Now, it's time for our fun domestic affairs.
**[11:08] Atou**
We'll start with reports
on our current situation.
**[11:10] Atou**
Construction manager?
**[11:11] Emle**
Yes, I'm Emle, the one in
charge of construction.
**[11:15] Emle**
Now that we have completed the
Palace, we have some labor to spare.
**[11:19] Emle**
Our supply of lumber remains steady,
**[11:21] Emle**
so we have plenty of resources too.
**[11:22] Emle**
I believe we can start
work on a new facility.
**[11:25] Atou**
I see.
**[11:26] Atou**
Then King Takuto,
**[11:28] Atou**
are we good to proceed with the next
Building we discussed last meeting?
**[11:32] Takuto**
Yeah.
**[11:33] Atou**
Then, Emle,
**[11:34] Atou**
please start construction of the Clinic next.
**[11:37] Takuto**
* The Clinic guarantees the health*
* and safety of our citizens*
**[11:40] Takuto**
*and it has a low building cost,*
**[11:42] Takuto**
*so it's the best option at present.*
**[11:44] Emle**
As you command.
**[11:45] Emle**
I'll convey that to the
one in charge of the work.
**[11:48] Atou**
Next is the state of our
Resources. Who's in charge?
**[11:52] Emle**
Oh!
**[11:53] Emle**
Th-That's me!
**[11:55] Atou**
We really are lacking staff.
**[11:57] Emle**
I'm also in charge of Resources.
**[12:00] Emle**
Our domestic collection of Food and
Materials is proceeding smoothly.
**[12:04] Emle**
With the aid of our king,
**[12:05] Emle**
we're also able to provide the
daily necessities we can't produce.
**[12:09] Emle**
However, since that still consumes Mana,
**[12:12] Emle**
our balance between input and
output is a little poor there.
**[12:15] Atou**
Using Mana on Emergency Production
is just too convenient, isn't it?
**[12:19] Atou**
Still, it's a necessary expense,
so we'll keep using it.
**[12:23] Atou**
We'll want to prioritize Buildings and
Research that increase the production of Mana.
**[12:29] Atou**
Good work managing that too.
**[12:31] Emle**
Thank you very much.
**[12:33] Atou**
Now that the topic of Mana has come
up, let's discuss our Research.
**[12:38] Moltar**
We've completed Research on Military Magic.
**[12:41] Moltar**
I'm the only one capable
of using it at present,
**[12:44] Moltar**
but my subordinates will eventually
be able to use it with more training.
**[12:47] Moltar**
I believe that casting powerful magic with
the Ruin Mana being provided by the Palace
**[12:52] Moltar**
will be crucial for our future!
**[12:55] Moltar**
Though, given our king's policies, I
doubt we'll be using it very proactively.
**[13:01] Atou**
That's true.
**[13:02] Atou**
Ruin's military magic is quite useful,
**[13:05] Atou**
but it has absolutely no
use in domestic affairs.
**[13:10] Atou**
For our Research,
**[13:11] Atou**
let's also proceed as planned and move on to
the Six Major Elements in the Magic Tree.
**[13:15] Atou**
There isn't much merit to be had
from researching anything else yet.
**[13:19] Takuto**
*It does mean we'll be slanted towards magic,*
**[13:22] Takuto**
*but specializing in a particular field*
**[13:24] Takuto**
*is an orthodox national strategy.*
**[13:27] Atou**
Lastly, that brings us to our military.
**[13:30] Gia**
Head Warrior Gia reporting in.
**[13:34] Gia**
We have a total of five new Long-legged
Bugs added to our forces.
**[13:39] Gia**
They are primarily out surveying the
uncharted territory surrounding the Accursed Lands.
**[13:44] Gia**
However, unlike inside the Accursed Lands,
the land beyond the forest is all plains.
**[13:49] Gia**
We're focused on maintaining stealth,
**[13:51] Gia**
so we're currently unable to
make any bold investigations.
**[13:54] Atou**
Good. Our king has been given a detailed
report about our surroundings.
**[14:00] Atou**
Considering our need for stealth,
**[14:01] Atou**
please have the Long-legged Bugs
assigned to patrolling our periphery.
**[14:04] Gia**
You want me to put all of them on that, then?
**[14:07] Atou**
I'm sufficient for defending
our nation for the time being.
**[14:11] Atou**
You witnessed it for yourself, didn't you?
**[14:15] Gia**
Yes!
**[14:16] Atou**
Furthermore, we've officially
decided to produce a new Hero.
**[14:23] Takuto**
I'm planning to summon
Isla, Queen of Bugs.
**[14:29] Atou**
How are we doing on the Resources
necessary to produce Isla?
**[14:33] Moltar**
I'll give the report on that.
**[14:36] Moltar**
We've already secured enough
lumber and rations for it,
**[14:39] Moltar**
and we've finished transporting
them to the ritual site.
**[14:43] Takuto**
*That means Mana is all that's left.*
**[15:02] Atou**
That concludes today's agenda.
**[15:05] Atou**
King Takuto, what do you think?
**[15:08] Takuto**
I have no issues with our plans.
**[15:09] Takuto**
You're all doing incredibly well.
***SIGN*** New Production and Research has been chosen.
***SIGN*** Building! Clinic
***SIGN*** Researching! Six Major Elements
***SIGN*** Producing! Isla, Queen of Bugs
**[15:27] Maria**
I ran into you.
**[15:30] Caria**
W-We're sorry!
**[15:38] Caria**
Ah...
**[15:39] Maria**
We tore it...
**[15:43] Takuto**
It's all right.
**[15:50] Maria**
King...
**[15:51] Takuto**
Hmm?
**[15:52] Maria**
My king, are you a bad person?
**[15:54] Takuto**
Well, my alignment is evil.
**[15:57] Maria**
Then why aren't you killing?
**[16:00] Takuto**
Killing who?
**[16:02] Maria**
Us.
**[16:03] Takuto**
Huh?
**[16:04] Caria**
U-Uh, well, my king,
**[16:07] Caria**
my big sister is asking why
our great and mighty king
**[16:12] Caria**
is showing children like us such mercy.
**[16:17] Takuto**
B-Because you're taking care of me?
**[16:20] Caria**
Big Sis is mad that you're being
so kind when you're a bad person.
**[16:25] Takuto**
Uh...
**[16:27] Takuto**
Hmm...
**[16:29] Takuto**
Let me tell you about something!
**[16:31] Takuto**
Listen well, okay?
**[16:33] Takuto**
A good person
**[16:34] Takuto**
is only allowed to do what's right.
**[16:37] Takuto**
They can't hurt others,
**[16:39] Takuto**
and they can't steal things
from others either.
**[16:41] Takuto**
Murdering people is out of the question.
**[16:43] Maria**
Yeah!
**[16:44] Caria**
Naturally.
**[16:45] Takuto**
Then what about a bad person?
**[16:47] Takuto**
What do you think they should do?
**[16:49] Maria**
They have to do bad things!
**[16:51] Caria**
They commit heinous atrocities!
**[16:53] Takuto**
You're wrong.
**[16:54] Takuto**
They're allowed to do anything!
**[16:57] Takuto**
They can do good things, and
they can do bad things too.
**[17:00] Takuto**
You see, bad people
**[17:02] Takuto**
are very selfish and free.
**[17:04] Takuto**
They're allowed to believe
in what they think is right
**[17:07] Takuto**
and ignore what others think
**[17:09] Takuto**
as they press on without looking back.
**[17:12] Takuto**
That's what an evil person truly is.
**[17:14] Takuto**
So it's perfectly fine for
me to be kind to you two!
**[17:17] Caria**
That's unfair!
**[17:19] Takuto**
Of course it is.
**[17:20] Takuto**
I'm a bad person, after all.
**[17:23] Maria**
Won't you be punished one day?
**[17:25] Takuto**
If I kill the good person who
comes to punish me first,
**[17:28] Takuto**
then I won't be.
**[17:29] Twins**
What?!
**[17:33] Takuto**
You messed up on purpose all
those times, didn't you?
**[17:38] Caria**
Big Sis and I...
**[17:41] Maria**
...should have died.
**[17:43] Takuto**
I see.
**[17:45] Takuto**
But you're afraid of death?
**[17:51] Takuto**
* They can't forgive themselves for surviving*
* due to their mother's death.*
**[17:55] Takuto**
*So they're seeking salvation through death.*
**[17:58] Takuto**
* I guess they thought that if they*
* did things to anger their king,*
**[18:01] Takuto**
*then I would kill them as punishment.*
**[18:10] Takuto**
You two are here now for a reason.
**[18:14] Takuto**
You're here because someone did what
they had to for you to survive.
**[18:17] Takuto**
You understand who that was, don't you?
**[18:21] Maria**
But it's painful.
**[18:24] Caria**
It hurts.
**[18:26] Takuto**
What did your mother say to you?
**[18:31] Twins**
"Live on."
**[18:33] Takuto**
Doing bad things isn't always wrong.
**[18:36] Takuto**
Both of you and your mother
**[18:39] Takuto**
did the right thing.
**[18:41] Takuto**
Be proud.
**[18:43] Takuto**
You two are still here because your
mother's love triumphed over fate.
**[18:48] Maria**
My king, what are we...
**[18:52] Caria**
What are we supposed to do now?!
**[18:58] Takuto**
You should live your lives as you please.
**[19:01] Takuto**
So your mother's love will be rewarded,
**[19:04] Takuto**
and so your mother can be proud of you.
**[19:07] Takuto**
Remember this.
**[19:08] Takuto**
You two are free.
**[19:10] Takuto**
You're free to do anything,
**[19:12] Takuto**
and you don't have to do
anything for forgiveness.
**[19:15] Takuto**
So long as you behave in a way
your mother would be proud of,
**[19:18] Takuto**
then I'll praise everything about you.
**[19:24] Takuto**
You don't have to hold it in.
**[19:42] Atou**
King Takuto, our investigation is—
**[19:44] Takuto**
Shh!
**[19:46] Atou**
You've grown awfully close to them.
**[19:49] Takuto**
Yeah, we have grown closer.
**[19:54] Takuto**
More importantly, your report!
**[19:56] Atou**
Oh, pardon me.
**[19:58] Atou**
It's about that city.
**[20:00] Atou**
Shall we go somewhere else?
**[20:05] Atou**
It's a city of Forngawn, a neutral, multiracial
nation composed primarily of humans and beastmen.
**[20:12] Atou**
Apparently, the city is named Dragontan.
**[20:15] Atou**
The nation uses a parliamentary system
**[20:17] Atou**
run by shamans known as "Staff Holders."
**[20:21] Takuto**
A multiracial nation will incorporate
several cultures and ideologies,
**[20:26] Takuto**
so diplomacy should be promising.
**[20:28] Atou**
Yes.
**[20:29] Takuto**
Though this is a rather remote city.
**[20:32] Takuto**
I wonder why they built a
city in a place like this?
**[20:34] Takuto**
It would cost a great deal to ensure
trade and distribution of goods out here.
**[20:38] Atou**
I do have something to report on that front.
**[20:43] Atou**
It would seem there's a Dragon
Vein Mine within the city.
**[20:47] Takuto**
Oh?
**[20:49] Atou**
A Dragon Vein Mine is
capable of producing Mana,
**[20:52] Atou**
so I believe we should
secure it as best we can.
**[20:55] Atou**
Also, it seems Dragontan is currently
in a state of high alert.
**[21:01] Atou**
We were only able to observe from afar,
**[21:04] Atou**
but we confirmed attacks from
Barbarians like Ogres and Goblins.
**[21:08] Atou**
They seemed to be struggling
desperately to respond to them.
**[21:12] Takuto**
Do you think they'll get
reinforcements from their homeland?
**[21:14] Atou**
There were none in the regions
we were able to observe.
**[21:17] Atou**
The city is in rather detached lands,
**[21:19] Atou**
so they probably can't
send any reinforcements.
**[21:21] Takuto**
If they're under attack,
**[21:24] Takuto**
there's a chance
they're generating refugees.
**[21:26] Atou**
Yes.
**[21:27] Atou**
If we're able to welcome them in,
**[21:30] Atou**
then we might be able to
increase our population.
**[21:32] Takuto**
And if we help them,
**[21:34] Takuto**
then even the Dragon Vein Mine...
**[21:37] Atou**
Then for our next turn...
**[21:40] Takuto**
We're dispatching diplomats to
the neutral nation of Forngawn!
**[23:30] Tonukapoli**
You're not human, are you?
**[23:36] Atou**
Correct.
