[00:05] Balirossa
    What is this place?
[00:09] Balirossa
    What am I wearing?
[00:10] Uliminas
    Lady Balirossa.
[00:12] Uliminas
    Allow me to congratulate
    mew on this happy occasion.
[00:15] Balirossa
    You're that girl from the Dark Army!
[00:18] Gholl
    Balirossa, you look beautiful.
[00:23] Balirossa
    The D-D-D-D-Dark One?!
[00:25] Gholl
    Call me Ghozal.
[00:26] Gholl
    As of today, you are my wife, after all.
[00:30] Balirossa
    What?!
[00:32] Uliminas
    In celebration of your marriage,
[00:34] Uliminas
    our Dark Army will devote our full
    strength to taking over the world
[00:38] Uliminas
    and present it to the two
    of mew as a wedding gift.
[00:41] Balirossa
    M-Marriage?
[00:43] Demons
    Long live the Dark One!
[00:46] Demons
    Long live Lady Balirossa!
[00:48] Gholl
    Balirossa.
[00:50] Gholl
    I offer you the world
    in honor of your beauty.
[00:56] Balirossa
    Wait, wait, wait! I don't need the world!
[01:02] Gholl
    I love you, Balirossa.
[01:16] Balirossa
    J-Just a dream... Thank goodness.
[01:20] Balirossa
    Wait, why did I have that dream?!
[01:22] Balirossa
    I don't even want to
    think about the Dark One!
[01:29] Blossom
    Tone it down, Balirossa.
SIGN    Unseen Wall
[03:10] Fenrys
    It looks like they baked perfectly.
[03:12] Balirossa
    Y-Yes...
[03:14] Fenrys
    You look pale. Has something happened?
[03:17] Balirossa
    I just didn't get enough sleep, that's all.
[03:19] Balirossa
    I've had unpleasant dreams lately.
[03:21] Balirossa
    Wait, don't tell me...
[03:23] Balirossa
    Is it because you're lovesick?!
[03:27] Fenrys
    We lupines believe that dreams are
    the very image of our desires!
[03:30] Fenrys
    It's said that when you
    have an unrequited crush,
[03:33] Fenrys
    the one you love appears in your dreams,
    turning them to nightmares!
[03:36] Balirossa
    L-L-L-L-Love?!
[03:38] Balirossa
    That's absolutely inconceivable!
[03:40] Blossom
    Love?! For real?!
[03:42] Byleri
    Who are you in love with?
[03:43] Belano
    Wait, is it...
[03:45] Blossom
    The Dark One?!
[03:48] Byleri
    He did come to visit lots
    of times just to see you.
[03:53] Belano
    Uh-huh.
[03:54] Balirossa
    H-He came here to see Sir Flio!
[03:57] Balirossa
    He wasn't here to see me!
[03:59] Blossom
    But he always left in a
    hurry when you weren't here.
[04:03] Byleri
    His intentions were quite
    obvious, weren't they?
[04:06] Belano
    Uh-huh.
[04:07] Balirossa
    Y-You're wrong!
[04:09] Balirossa
    He's just still carrying a grudge
    because I raised my blade to him!
[04:12] Balirossa
    He's only waiting for the
    right opportunity to kill me!
[04:15] Byleri
    Oh? It sure didn't seem that way, though.
[04:19] Blossom
    I bet you could talk the
    Dark One in to anything.
[04:22] Blossom
    You could break down the wall between
    species and become friends,
[04:26] Blossom
    like Sir Flio and Lady Rys did.
[04:28] Fenrys
    My darling and I aren't exactly "friends."
[04:31] Fenrys
    We're madly in love.
[04:33] Byleri
    Come to think of it, we haven't heard
    the story of when you two fell in love.
[04:40] Hiya
    I am interested in this tale, as well.
[04:43] Hiya
    What part of the supreme
    one were you drawn to?
[04:47] Fenrys
    Well... it goes without saying
    that he's terribly kind.
[04:52] Fenrys
    I never particularly gave much
    thought to it beyond that.
[04:56] Fenrys
    But I suppose... let's see...
[04:59] Fenrys
    If I had to name something,
    it'd be how he's such a softy.
[05:03] Hiya
    Oh?
[05:04] Fenrys
    Lupines settle everything by dueling,
    even who our mates will be,
[05:07] Fenrys
    so part of it is the instinct to
    lunge at any available opening...
[05:10] Fenrys
    and he always looks like he's leaving
    himself wide open, you know?
[05:14] Fenrys
    At first, I felt like I needed
    to help him with that,
[05:18] Fenrys
    but then... I don't know, I just...
[05:21] Hiya
    You just?
[05:25] Fenrys
    I feel like being soft along
    with him actually isn't so bad.
[05:32] Hiya
    Soft, you say?
[05:34] Flio
    U-Um...
[05:37] Fenrys
    I just couldn't help but open up
    about my feelings for you, Darling!
[05:47] Flio
    I put up a magic barrier around the
    city to keep demons and monsters out,
[05:52] Flio
    but something got in.
[05:53] Hiya
    So it would seem. I sense the
    power of demons, as well.
[05:57] Balirossa
    Demons?!
[05:58] Balirossa
    Is this place in danger?!
[06:00] Flio
    It doesn't look like the
    barrier has been broken yet...
[06:05] Flio
    But we should probably keep an
    eye on the city for a while.
[06:19] Princess
    Oh, no!
[06:20] Princess
    Is this true?
[06:22] Minister
    Yes, Highness.
[06:23] Minister
    The majority of the gold coins the
    adventurer Flio donated recently
[06:28] Minister
    were Rode gold coins, issued by the castle.
[06:33] (Flashback) Flio
    I'm sorry I couldn't live up to
    your expectations, Your Highness.
[06:38] (Flashback) Flio
    But I don't want to fight
    with either humans or demons.
[06:43] (Flashback) Flio
    This isn't much, but please
    use it to rebuild the city.
[06:48] Princess
    Rode gold coins are not in distribution
    among the general public.
[06:52] Princess
    So how did he...
[06:53] Minister
    There was someone we gave
    gold coins to recently.
[06:57] Princess
    Who?
[06:58] Minister
    A young man named Banaza,
    who was summoned here
[07:01] Minister
    from another world by
    mistake and then banished.
[07:04] Princess
    The young man who was banished
    to the Delaveza Forest?
[07:08] Princess
    You mean...
[07:09] Minister
    I suspect that Banaza and
    Sir Flio are one and the same.
[07:15] Princess
    I can't believe it!
[07:16] Princess
    He would never agree to be our hero now!
[07:21] Minister
    What shall we do?
[07:24] Princess
    If that is true,
[07:26] Princess
    we must start by apologizing to
    Sir Flio and earning his pardon.
[07:30] Soldier1
    Your Highness!
[07:32] Princess
    What is it this time?
[07:33] Soldier1
    W-Well...
[07:35] Soldier1
    The former hero and his servant have
    escaped the dungeon and fled the castle!
[07:40] Princess
    What?
[07:42] Soldier1
    I sincerely apologize.
[07:43] Princess
    No, this is not your fault.
[07:46] Princess
    Seek the aid of vigilante corps and
    adventurers across the kingdom to find them.
[07:51] Soldier1
    At once!
[07:53] Princess
    If only Sir Flio had been named
    our hero in the first place...
[07:58] Princess
    No, it does no good to say such things now.
[08:01] Princess
    I supported that golden-haired
    man for the hero's role myself.
[08:09] Soldier2
    No luck! We can't find them!
[08:11] Soldier3
    They can't have gone that far.
[08:12] Soldier4
    Captain! There's a path out
    of the forest that way!
[08:17] Golden-Haired Hero
    Looks like we lost them.
[08:20] Tsuya
    Gosh... We've been on the run ever
    since we escaped the dungeon.
[08:25] Tsuya
    I'm exhausted, Hero.
[08:28] Golden-Haired Hero
    It's all that useless djinn's fault!
[08:31] Golden-Haired Hero
    It's as if I'm a criminal now!
[08:34] Tsuya
    Well, we are literally escapees
    and thieves, after all.
[08:39] Golden-Haired Hero
    Don't make it sound so heinous!
[08:41] Golden-Haired Hero
    We escaped the dungeon,
    but we never stole anything!
[08:43] Tsuya
    But we did.
[08:45] Tsuya
    As we were escaping, you stole a
    Bottomless Bag amid all the chaos.
[08:51] Golden-Haired Hero
    I didn't steal this.
[08:53] Golden-Haired Hero
    I merely accepted it in place
    of the reward money I was owed.
[08:57] Tsuya
    Reward money?
[08:59] Golden-Haired Hero
    Yes! The agreement was that when
    I completed my job as hero,
[09:04] Golden-Haired Hero
    I would be guaranteed enough reward
    money to live out my life on!
[09:09] Golden-Haired Hero
    I let them off easy by taking a
    single Bottomless Bag instead!
[09:12] Golden-Haired Hero
    They should be thanking me!
[09:15] Tsuya
    But I thought just one
    was all you could carry.
[09:18] Golden-Haired Hero
    Come to think of it,
    I haven't looked inside it yet.
[09:22] Golden-Haired Hero
    Damn it! There's no money in it!
[09:25] Golden-Haired Hero
    It contains a bottomless water pouch and...
[09:28] Golden-Haired Hero
    A treasure chest?
[09:32] Golden-Haired Hero
    Maybe we can sell what's
    in it to fund our escape!
[09:36] Tsuya
    Huh?
[09:37] Golden-Haired Hero
    Wh-What is this?!
[09:40] Golden-Haired Hero
    A Drilldozer... Shovel?
[09:43] Soldier5
    I heard voices!
[09:45] Soldier5
    Over here!
[09:48] Soldier5
    I'm sure I heard someone...
[09:51] Soldier6
    Let's go.
[09:57] Tsuya
    That shovel is amazing, Hero!
[09:59] Tsuya
    It dug a hole this big in a mere instant!
[10:03] Golden-Haired Hero
    I guess it is a castle treasure after all.
[10:05] Golden-Haired Hero
    It's perfect for keeping us hidden... but...
[10:09] Golden-Haired Hero
    How are we supposed to get out of here?
[10:13] Gholl
    You still haven't found
    Flio and his companions?
[10:16] Uliminas
    I-I beg your purr-don.
[10:19] Uliminas
    I have my intelligence corps out in
    full force to search everywhere...
[10:23] Uliminas
    Purr-haps they have fled to another country.
[10:27] Gholl
    No.
[10:28] Gholl
    However powerful Flio's magic may be,
[10:31] Gholl
    Teleportation only allows one to travel
    to places they've visited before.
[10:36] Gholl
    It hasn't been long since he
    was summoned to this world.
[10:39] Gholl
    There's no way he could
    have left the country.
[10:42] Uliminas
    B-But...
[10:44] Uliminas
    If I may say so,
[10:46] Uliminas
    I don't believe nyow is the time to
    prioritize this search over our army's advance.
[10:54] Uliminas
    No matter how potent the
    Purification magic is,
[10:57] Uliminas
    if we lead the magic beasts in an assault,
[10:59] Uliminas
    we can fill the land with Malicium again
[11:01] Uliminas
    and open a purr-fectly serviceable
    path for our forces.
[11:05] Uliminas
    If we act nyow and strike in force,
[11:07] Uliminas
    we could even bring down the castle!
[11:10] Uliminas
    And if Klyrode Castle falls,
    the demons' wishes will be—
[11:17] Gholl
    Have you forgotten?
[11:19] Gholl
    That man can use Purification all by himself.
[11:25] Gholl
    Even if we sacrifice magic
    beasts to cut a path,
[11:28] Gholl
    Flio is a man who can
    purify it single-handedly.
[11:32] Gholl
    Finding him and his companions comes first.
[11:36] Uliminas
    But then it will be impossible
    to silence those who oppose mew!
[11:56] Gholl
    I'm sorry to make you do this, Uliminas,
[11:59] Gholl
    but I will not bend my personal principles.
[12:03] Gholl
    I find no meaning in the forced sacrifice
[12:06] Gholl
    of many of our comrades in
    order to conquer the humans.
[12:10] Uliminas
    Dark One...
[12:25] Yuigarde
    Has my brother gone senile?! Well?!
[12:28] Phufun
    Sir Yuigarde, please lower your voice.
[12:32] Phufun
    Uliminas's intelligence corps may have
    ears out anywhere and everywhere.
[12:37] Yuigarde
    I don't care about that!
[12:41] Yuigarde
    Not only is my brother refusing
    to resume our advance,
[12:44] Yuigarde
    but he has spoken of adding a human
    to the ranks of the Dark Army.
[12:49] Yuigarde
    It makes no sense!
[12:51] Phufun
    That human is one who possesses
    power worthy of a hero,
[12:56] Phufun
    which is why Gholl—
[12:56] Yuigarde
    And that's why I say he's gone senile!
[13:01] Yuigarde
    Hero or not, all we need
    to do is destroy him!
[13:05] Yuigarde
    Why should we have to befriend a human?!
[13:09] Yuigarde
    The king of demons becomes the king
    of demons by destroying everything!
[13:13] Yuigarde
    Am I wrong?!
[13:17] Phufun
    Everything you say is exactly
    right, Sir Yuigarde.
[13:22] Yuigarde
    Well, if it's come to this,
[13:25] Yuigarde
    I will take the throne of the
    Dark One from my brother.
[13:28] Yuigarde
    And as the true Dark One,
    I will set out to conquer Klyrode!
[13:34] Yuigarde
    My time begins here and now!
[13:40] Flio
    Okay, I think we've bought
    everything we needed.
[13:44] Fenrys
    We got some rare foods
    from other countries, too.
[13:47] Fenrys
    I can't wait to cook with them.
[13:50] Flio
    My barrier picked up another
    sign of a breach earlier,
[13:53] Flio
    but things seem pretty calm here in town.
[13:58] Flio
    We have some time before we're
    meeting with the others.
[14:00] Flio
    Why don't we get lunch?
[14:03] Fenrys
    In that case,
[14:04] Fenrys
    I'd like to try the new place that
    just opened on Sucana Avenue.
[14:09] Fenrys
    I hear they serve delicious
    fish caught in the ocean.
[14:12] Flio
    I've heard about that place, too.
[14:14] Flio
    Most of Klyrode is surrounded by mountains,
[14:18] Flio
    so they must go through a lot
    to get their ingredients.
[14:24] Flio
    Huh?
[14:25] Flio
    The Holdi's General Store sign...
[14:28] Flio
    Holdi?
[14:29] Holdi
    Oh, Flio and Rys.
[14:32] Flio
    Are you closing your store?
[14:34] Holdi
    Yes.
[14:35] Holdi
    I'm sad to let go of the store
    I've run for so many years,
[14:39] Holdi
    but it's gotten too difficult
    to find new suppliers at my age.
[14:43] Holdi
    I had no choice.
[14:45] Flio
    New suppliers? Did something
    happen to the old ones?
[14:49] Holdi
    During that last battle to
    defend against the Dark Army,
[14:52] Holdi
    the area where my preferred
    workshop was ended up destroyed.
[14:58] Holdi
    And my transport routes are a wreck now.
[15:03] Holdi
    I think it's just time to let go.
[15:13] Fenrys
    I didn't know the effects of war were
    felt this far from the battlefield.
[15:18] Flio
    Yeah.
[15:20] Flio
    But the fact that there are other
    stores opening to try something new
[15:25] Flio
    shows how resilient humans are.
[15:28] Flio
    Come on, let's have lunch.
[15:31] Fenrys
    Right.
[15:33] Balirossa
    Sir Flio! Lady Rys!
[15:36] Flio
    Balirossa?
[15:37] Balirossa
    Are you about to have lunch?
[15:40] Flio
    Yeah, that's right.
[15:41] Balirossa
    Then, please, allow me to treat you.
[15:45] Fenrys
    M-My romantic lunch for
    two with my darling...
[15:48] Balirossa
    Oh, I mean... only if I
    wouldn't be in the way...
[15:52] Flio
    We don't mind. Right, Rys?
[15:54] Fenrys
    R-Right...
[15:57] Fenrys
    More importantly, what brought this on?
[16:00] Fenrys
    Why do you want to treat us?
[16:02] Balirossa
    Well, you see, my adventurer rank
    at the guild went up by one,
[16:05] Balirossa
    so my reward money was increased.
[16:07] Flio
    Hey, congrats, Balirossa!
[16:09] Fenrys
    You have seemed very motivated recently.
[16:12] Balirossa
    Actually, I was just desperate
    to shake off that demon.
[16:17] Balirossa
    It's thanks to both of your training
    that I get more reward money now.
[16:22] Balirossa
    So I wanted to thank you in some small way.
[16:26] Flio
    We might as well let her,
    since she's offering.
[16:29] Fenrys
    We certainly can't waste the offer.
[16:30] Hiya
    Supreme one!
[16:33] Flio
    Hiya?
[16:34] Hiya
    The presence of one with immense
    magic power is approaching.
[16:38] Hiya
    Please stand back!
[16:40] Balirossa
    In the middle of town again?!
[16:42] Fenrys
    Hiya, wait a minute!
[16:47] Flio
    I wondered who set off my barrier earlier.
[16:51] Flio
    It's you, Ghozal!
[16:52] Gholl
    Well, if it isn't Sir Flio.
[16:58] Flio
    It's been quite a while, Ghozal.
[17:00] Gholl
    I came here because my intelligence corps
    reported some strange magic in this area.
[17:07] Gholl
    I'm happy this brought us together again.
[17:08] Flio
    It's good to know you seem well.
[17:11] Gholl
    Miss Balirossa...
[17:13] Gholl
    I had hoped to have a proper
    discussion with you, as well.
[17:16] Balirossa
    W-Were those dreams I've been
    having actually prophetic?!
[17:21] Waitress
    Thank you for waiting.
[17:23] Gholl
    I do love human cuisine.
    It's always so colorful.
[17:27] Gholl
    Before I inherited the throne,
    I used to come to places like this
[17:30] Gholl
    and call it observation of enemy movements.
[17:32] Flio
    Oh, really?
[17:33] Gholl
    We have dining establishments
    in the demon realm,
[17:36] Gholl
    but there's very little that
    I would call "cuisine."
[17:39] Flio
    Somehow, I can imagine that.
[17:41] (Flashback) Fenrys
    It's delicious!
[17:45] Flio
    Also, I should make sure people
    around us can't hear what we say.
[17:50] Gholl
    Do you also cook, Miss Balirossa?
[17:52] Balirossa
    Wha?!
[17:53] Fenrys
    Balirossa is good at making sweets.
[17:56] Gholl
    Oh?
[17:57] Fenrys
    I've had her teach me so
    I can attempt it myself,
[18:00] Fenrys
    but sweets require very detailed
    measurements, which is difficult for me.
[18:04] Gholl
    Oho?
[18:06] Flio
    So you're interested in
    human culture, Ghozal?
[18:11] Gholl
    A culture's prosperity is proportionate
    to its military might.
[18:16] Balirossa
    Does that mean... you're observing
    enemy movements now, too?
[18:20] Gholl
    As one who is trying to recruit
    Sir Flio, I cannot deny that.
[18:28] Balirossa
    You...
[18:30] Balirossa
    You know how we live our lives,
[18:32] Balirossa
    yet you've still come to
    trample all over that?
[18:37] Gholl
    Yes.
[18:38] Balirossa
    How dare you?!
[18:39] Flio
    Balirossa!
[18:41] Gholl
    We are equally guilty when it
    comes to trampling over lives.
[18:44] Gholl
    Even if humans see the mere existence
    of us demons as a pestilence,
[18:49] Gholl
    that should not be a reason
    for us to endure persecution.
[18:55] Flio
    Um... We haven't found living with
    Rys to be inconvenient in any way.
[19:00] Flio
    What "pestilence"?
[19:01] Gholl
    Ah, I suppose you wouldn't know.
[19:04] Hiya
    The greatest difference
    between humans and demons
[19:07] Hiya
    is the presence of Malicium
    within their bodies.
[19:10] Hiya
    There are some demons and magic beasts
    that can control their Malicium,
[19:14] Hiya
    and others that cannot.
[19:17] Hiya
    Those that cannot are perpetually
    releasing small amounts of Malicium.
[19:23] Hiya
    When many of them gather in one place,
[19:25] Hiya
    it becomes contaminated
    and harmful to humans.
[19:29] Flio
    And that's what Delaveza Forest was.
[19:32] Fenrys
    Our Sybe and the horse magic beasts
    are able to control their Malicium,
[19:37] Fenrys
    so we needn't worry about them, Darling.
[19:40] Flio
    I wasn't worried about that.
[19:42] Flio
    But...
[19:43] Flio
    This is a far deeper issue than I realized.
[19:46] Gholl
    Yes. On top of that,
    demons favor meritocracy,
[19:50] Gholl
    and many of them are quite hot-blooded.
[19:52] Gholl
    The slightest conflict tends
    to devolve into aggression.
[19:55] Fenrys
    Why are you looking at me?!
[19:57] Gholl
    I apologize for making you all uncomfortable.
[20:00] Gholl
    Please enjoy the rest of your lunch in peace.
[20:05] Gholl
    We will meet again.
[20:15] Flio
    I felt kind of relieved when
    I was dragged into this world
[20:18] Flio
    and saw no discrimination
    against demihumans, but...
[20:24] Belano
    Oh, there they are.
[20:26] Byleri
    We're finished shopping, Sir Flio!
[20:31] Blossom
    Something wrong, Balirossa?
[20:34] Balirossa
    No.
[20:46] Flio
    The wall between humans and demons
[20:48] Flio
    is actually even more distinct and
    unyielding than anything in my old world.
[20:55] Fenrys
    Darling?
[21:01] Fenrys
    D-Darling?
[21:03] Fenrys
    I'm happy you're doing this, but... why?
[21:08] Flio
    Give me just a minute.
[21:18] Fenrys
    Sure.
[21:34] Tsuya
    M-My hands hurt!
    I can't climb any more, Hero!
[21:38] Golden-Haired Hero
    Hang in there just... a little longer!
[21:41] Golden-Haired Hero
    We're finally... almost outside!
[21:44] Tsuya
    Okay, Hero!
[21:49] Tsuya
    Up we go...
[21:56] Golden-Haired Hero
    Tsuya, what are you d—
[23:41] Uliminas
    What in the world does Lord Gholl see in mew?
[23:43] Balirossa
    H-Huh?!
[23:45] Uliminas
    What's so great about a kind,
    considerate woman like mew?
[23:48] Balirossa
    Was that a compliment?
[23:50] Fenrys
    Humans and demons have different
    ideas about what's attractive.
[23:53] Uliminas
    There's nyo better woman than one
    who's feisty and a little evil!
[23:56] Balirossa
    I-It's scary what demons find attractive...
