[00:18] ---
    I can't let anyone... Let anyone
    know this child's location.
[00:34] ---
    I pray that you be healthy,
    and on the day you realize your fate,
[00:39] ---
    I pray that you be strong.
[00:41] ---
    O child of our hopes.
[00:48] ---
    Express train Asama will arrive shortly.
[01:03] ---
    This way, I guess.
[01:13] ---
    This sucks...
[01:21] ---
    Where is my grandma, anyway?!
SIGN    Don't look!
[01:28] ---
    I-I guess what they say
    about the capital is true.
[01:33] ---
    Oh, no... This is terrible.
[01:42] ---
    I'll help you out.
[01:44] ---
    Thank you very much.
[01:46] ---
    Not at all.
[01:50] ---
    Thank you.
[01:52] ---
    Let me carry your luggage to the top.
[01:54] ---
    I can't have you do all that for me...
[01:59] ---
    You have quite a bit of luggage yourself.
[02:02] ---
    Don't mind me. It's one of my rules
    to go out of my way to help others.
[02:06] ---
    I'm pleased that you offered,
    but don't worry about it-
[02:10] ---
    No, please let me help you.
[02:11] ---
    No, it's really okay.
[02:12] ---
    Are you sure?
[02:13] ---
    Yeah, I...
[02:14] ---
    Grandma!
[02:19] ---
    You animal!
[02:24] ---
    Sh-She was the one who just...
SIGN    Don't look!
[02:29] ---
    Grandma, are you okay?
[02:33] ---
    Why do you always get
    worked up like this?
[02:38] ---
    Huh?
[02:41] ---
    I-I can't believe I mistook you for a thief,
    when you were really helping my grandmother!
[02:45] ---
    It's okay...
[02:47] ---
    E-Everyone makes mistakes.
[02:51] ---
    I just kind of forgot...
[02:53] ---
    I don't think you normally "just kind
    of forget" something that big.
[02:56] ---
    Ahem. You helped my grandmother.
[02:59] ---
    I'm Hattori Junko, a high school freshman
    at the Academy of Magical Arts.
[03:03] ---
    I deeply apologize.
[03:04] ---
    No, really, it's okay.
[03:07] ---
    Judging by your uniform, I assume you attend
    the Academy of Magical Arts, as well?
[03:11] ---
    Which class are you in?
[03:12] ---
    I'm not sure yet.
[03:14] ---
    You don't know?
[03:15] ---
    I'm transferring in this semester.
[03:18] ---
    My name is Sai Akuto.
[03:21] ---
    Sai Akuto...
[03:23] ---
    Keep it together!
[03:38] ---
    So if you're living in the
    dorms, why did you...
[03:41] ---
    I went home over the long break.
[03:44] ---
    Ah, so that's why you had
    all of that with you.
[03:47] ---
    There are lots of foreign exchange students,
    but transfer students are rare.
[03:52] ---
    I heard the transfer exam was fairly difficult.
    You must be pretty good.
[03:57] ---
    Thanks. I did study a fair bit to get in.
[04:02] ---
    So you want to work for the government?
[04:03] ---
    All academy graduates are promised
    jobs in the imperial capital.
[04:08] ---
    I want to change society, to help the world
    move in a better direction.
[04:13] ---
    To change the world?
[04:15] ---
    I guess you could say I want
    to become a high priest.
[04:20] ---
    A-A high priest?!
[04:25] ---
    Doing so would take quite
    the determination.
[04:29] ---
    You would have to live constantly
    upholding the highest virtues.
[04:32] ---
    I know.
[04:34] ---
    Even littering in the street could keep
    you from getting a position.
[04:40] ---
    I want to strive to be the
    best person I can.
[04:45] ---
    That's my sole desire.
[04:50] ---
    If what you say is true,
    then I shall aid you.
[04:55] ---
    I come from a Suharaist family,
    charged for generations
[04:58] ---
    with the empire's protection.
[05:00] ---
    Those who follow Suhara
    must devote themselves
[05:03] ---
    to their home, their country.
[05:05] ---
    Recently, many have begun to laugh at those things
    done for justice or for their fellow man,
[05:09] ---
    but I'm prepared to give
    my life for those ideals.
[05:17] ---
    It looks like we'll get along quite well.
[05:20] ---
    Actually, I was just thinking
    the same thing.
[05:23] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[05:31] ---
    Please take hold of it.
[05:33] ---
    Sure.
[05:38] ---
    I will strike the hilt against the scabbard.
[05:40] ---
    My sect swears their friendship
    to one another in this fashion.
[05:45] ---
    You're the first guy to whom I've sworn it.
[05:47] ---
    That's a nice tradition.
[05:49] ---
    But it also means that should we betray
    each other, we die by the sword.
[05:54] ---
    I like that kind of pressure.
[06:14] ---
    Welcome to the Constant
    Academy of Magical Arts.
[06:20] ---
    A Reluctant Demon Lord is Born !
[06:24] ---
    This'll transport the luggage to your room.
[06:27] ---
    I guess it's best to say that the
    school layout is pretty complicated.
[06:32] ---
    If you need to reach the nurse's office,
    the aerial corridors are best.
[06:37] ---
    Anyway, once you figure out what class
    you're assigned to, contact me.
[06:40] ---
    I'm in class 1-A.
[06:42] ---
    Sure.
[06:43] ---
    It'd be nice if we ended
    up in the same class.
[06:45] ---
    Y-Yeah. I guess so.
[06:48] ---
    Anyway, see you later.
[06:57] ---
    All of that's the nurse's office?
[06:59] ---
    That's pretty big.
[07:07] ---
    Sai Akuto
[07:10] ---
    So you're Sai Akuto?
[07:11] ---
    Yeah.
[07:13] ---
    Just in time.
[07:14] ---
    All of the transfer students are here now.
[07:18] ---
    This school is somewhat of a place
    where they shoved everything
[07:22] ---
    that made no sense in the world,
    to use for magical research.
[07:24] ---
    So a lot of kids overdo it and get hurt.
[07:27] ---
    Everything that made no sense? Overdo it?
[07:31] ---
    I'm Torii Mitsuko.
[07:33] ---
    School physician and an instructor here.
[07:36] ---
    Please stand over there in
    the order you're called!
[07:42] ---
    This artificial spirit, Yata-Garasu,
    will check your physical condition.
[07:47] ---
    But that's not all it does...
[07:50] ---
    Transfer number #001: You Yanrii.
[07:53] ---
    No health issues.
[07:56] ---
    Future occupation: soldier!
[07:59] ---
    All right!
[08:00] ---
    It'll divine your future job.
[08:02] ---
    Victory!
[08:03] ---
    Why are you fortunetelling
    in a health exam?
[08:06] ---
    It's not fortunetelling. It's a monument to
    the empire's magical technology.
[08:10] ---
    Doctor!
[08:11] ---
    It has never once made a false prediction.
[08:13] ---
    Diplomat!
[08:14] ---
    Magical engineer!
[08:16] ---
    But rest assured. Most results are
    what people really want to be.
[08:23] ---
    In that case, of course it'll pick me for...
[08:26] ---
    Sai Akuto!
[08:27] ---
    Yes!
[08:33] ---
    Transfer number #021: Sai Akuto.
[08:37] ---
    No health issues.
[08:39] ---
    Future occupation...
[08:42] ---
    Demon lord!
[08:48] ---
    What did you just say?
[08:50] ---
    Future occupation: demon lord!
[08:53] ---
    Once more, please!
[08:55] ---
    Demon lord!
[08:58] ---
    A title applied to a lord of demons,
[09:00] ---
    the greatest destructive
    threat to a society.
[09:04] ---
    That is what Sai Akuto
    will be in the future.
[09:08] ---
    Wh-What?
[09:10] ---
    A-A demon lord?
[09:11] ---
    No way...
[09:13] ---
    No matter what you analyze,
[09:15] ---
    whether his disposition or abilities,
    it results in the occupation of demon lord!
[09:19] ---
    All of you, return to your classrooms!
[09:23] ---
    What is this?
[09:24] ---
    What is this?!
SIGN    Demon Overlord
SIGN    Farthest in the Back
[09:35] ---
    One hundred years ago,
    war threw the world into fear and chaos.
[09:41] ---
    A certain person, attempting
    to destroy the world,
[09:44] ---
    used an army of demons
    to foment an uprising.
[09:47] ---
    That person was a self-proclaimed demon lord.
[09:52] ---
    I don't understand at all.
[09:54] ---
    For the time being,
    I've contacted the headmaster.
[09:57] ---
    So really, don't worry about it.
[09:59] ---
    I don't understand enough of what's
    going on to calm down.
[10:02] ---
    I can't believe it said I'd be a demon lord.
[10:05] ---
    I learned about the war
    in history class, but...
[10:08] ---
    Can that even really be an occupation?
[10:11] ---
    Well, from now on, at a bare minimum,
[10:13] ---
    you'll be regarded as special,
    here at this school.
[10:18] ---
    Special?
[10:19] ---
    There's a chance that those with a strong sense
    of justice will come and try to kill you,
SIGN    Assassin
[10:23] ---
    or they might set up some
    life-threatening trap.
SIGN    Demon Overlord! Danger! He will rape you!
[10:25] ---
    Basically, constant character
    assassination...
[10:27] ---
    Or I'm sure there'll be enough serious bullying
    and teasing to make you want to kill yourself.
[10:29] ---
    I've had enough...
[10:33] ---
    Um, why is it that you're only talking
    about suicide and my being killed?
[10:38] ---
    It's okay. If you die, I'll turn you into an undead
    and bring you back to life right away.
[10:42] ---
    Huh?!
[10:43] ---
    If you stay alive, there are
    numerous ethical issues,
[10:45] ---
    but if you're undead, I can
    analyze you all I want!
[10:48] ---
    Analyze?
[10:50] ---
    Being able to completely analyze
    someone born to be a demon lord
[10:53] ---
    "Wash your hands before eating! - Health Committee"
[10:54] ---
    is an accomplishment that will
    live for all future history!
[10:58] ---
    Oh! It isn't like I want you to die at all,
    so don't worry about it.
[11:03] ---
    But if it's ever on your mind,
    come talk to me.
[11:05] ---
    She really doesn't keep anything
    to herself, does she?
[11:09] ---
    Here's your classroom.
    I'm your homeroom teacher.
[11:11] ---
    You're in charge of my class?
[11:14] ---
    Oh, didn't I tell you that? I am.
[11:17] ---
    Pretty lucky.
[11:18] ---
    Who's lucky, exactly?
[11:20] ---
    Huh? Class A... I'm pretty sure...
[11:23] ---
    Congratulations on entering high school!
[11:25] ---
    It probably doesn't seem to mean much
[11:29] ---
    when your homeroom teacher and
    classmates are the same,
[11:31] ---
    but let's start anew and
    do our best this year.
[11:33] ---
    I knew it was her class!
[11:33] ---
    Oh, and someone else will be joining you.
[11:37] ---
    Let me introduce him.
[11:38] ---
    Transferring in this semester,
    this is Sai Akuto.
[11:42] ---
    It's the demon lord!
[11:43] ---
    The demon lord!
[11:44] ---
    If you get on his bad side,
    he'll kill you on the spot!
[11:46] ---
    I heard that if he touches
    you, you'll get pregnant!
[11:46] ---
    I see... The rumor's already made its way
    all around the school.
[11:50] ---
    I have to do something. I've gotta ensure
    I make a good first impression.
[11:55] ---
    Fellow classmates! I know it's rather abrupt,
    but I'd like to introduce myself.
[11:59] ---
    My name is Sai Akuto.
[12:01] ---
    Apparently, many of you already know,
[12:03] ---
    but I seem to have been diagnosed
    by Yata-Garasu as a demon lord.
[12:07] ---
    I understand that many of
    you are curious about me,
[12:10] ---
    but if any of you fear me,
    not having even met me once,
[12:14] ---
    don't you see that's a
    form of discrimination?!
[12:18] ---
    Although it seems that this aptitude test
    of sorts has never been incorrect,
[12:21] ---
    I don't believe it's right to stand and
    let another just accept their fate.
[12:25] ---
    Fate?
[12:27] ---
    The fact that this type of "occupational fitness"
    is even considered common sense
[12:30] ---
    promotes further elitism.
    This, in turn, merely
[12:33] ---
    compounds the underlying
    problem in perpetuity.
[12:35] ---
    Isn't that exactly like
[12:37] ---
    the declaration of war the demon lord
    issued one hundred years ago?
[12:40] ---
    For a moment there, I was kind of
    thinking he was right, but...
[12:42] ---
    He just started criticizing the system!
[12:42] ---
    This is bad...
[12:44] ---
    The demon lord has come again!
[12:45] ---
    It's true that I did criticize the system,
[12:47] ---
    but I didn't mean it was something
    we needed to destroy.
[12:49] ---
    I intend to do good deeds at this school
    and prove I'm not a demon lord-
[12:52] ---
    Okay, that's enough.
[12:53] ---
    Please wait!
[12:54] ---
    I haven't-
[12:55] ---
    You should keep your introductions short, 'kay?
[12:57] ---
    Let's see. Take that seat over there...
[13:00] ---
    It's the one farthest in the back.
[13:03] ---
    Farthest in the back...
[13:13] ---
    This is bad...
[13:14] ---
    I must do something to convince Hattori,
    at least, that this is all wrong.
[13:19] ---
    Soga Keena?
[13:20] ---
    Geez...
[13:21] ---
    Already a problem, and it's only
    the first day of school...
[13:26] ---
    It's a new year, and we have to decide
    on a new class president,
[13:29] ---
    but I was thinking of asking Hattori
    to keep the position from last year.
[13:33] ---
    Sure.
[13:34] ---
    Teacher!
[13:35] ---
    I don't think electing a class rep
    is so simple a matter!
[13:39] ---
    If we do it like that, we'll
    never make any progress.
[13:43] ---
    Huh?
[13:44] ---
    Then what do you want to do, Miwa?
[13:46] ---
    I nominate Sai Akuto for class president!
[13:49] ---
    Huh?
[13:50] ---
    Eh?
[13:51] ---
    What is that guy saying?
[13:53] ---
    I think everyone heard the
    speech he just gave.
[13:55] ---
    I think the easiest way to prove he's not
    an actual demon lord would be for him
[13:58] ---
    to become class president and do
    good for the sake of our class.
[14:01] ---
    Everyone, quiet down.
[14:03] ---
    This is bad.
[14:04] ---
    Now I'm going to make her look terrible.
[14:08] ---
    I withdraw my nomination!
[14:09] ---
    I think the class president should be someone
    who's popular and takes pride in the position.
[14:14] ---
    There's no way I could serve,
    having just transferred here.
[14:18] ---
    I wish to help with cleaning duty!
[14:20] ---
    That's right. As long as I'm attracting
    this odd attention,
[14:24] ---
    something plain, which doesn't stand out but helps
    others, is the best type of work for me.
[14:28] ---
    No way...
[14:30] ---
    Really?
[14:31] ---
    Huh?
[14:33] ---
    S-Sai, are you serious?
[14:35] ---
    Yes?
[14:36] ---
    In this school, cleaning duty
    indicates a person
[14:38] ---
    who goes and destroys anyone
    or anything in their path,
[14:40] ---
    to protect school secrets, as necessary.
[14:44] ---
    What the hell?!
[14:46] ---
    I know it's unoccupied,
[14:47] ---
    but I can't believe anyone would actually
    desire to hold that detested position!
[14:50] ---
    No wonder he's going to be a demon lord.
[14:52] ---
    Hold on! There's no way
    I could have known-
[14:56] ---
    D-Damn you, Sai Akuto.
[15:01] ---
    How dare you play with my feelings!
[15:06] ---
    P-Play with her feelings?
[15:08] ---
    Crap. People are going
    to misunderstand that.
[15:10] ---
    I believe I told you that the oath we took leads
    to blood, should either of us break it.
[15:13] ---
    By "oath," does that mean he's
    already gotten to her?!
[15:16] ---
    Hattori Junko's the one reputed to be
    the biggest prude in school!
[15:19] ---
    It was more like, we were just
    messing around in the shuttle-
[15:22] ---
    In the shuttle?!
[15:23] ---
    No!
[15:24] ---
    That's ridiculous!
[15:26] ---
    Messing around? You mean
    you were just playing her?
[15:28] ---
    Could you be any more of a demon lord?
[15:30] ---
    I told you that wasn't what I meant...
[15:32] ---
    I-I'm so humiliated!
[15:37] ---
    I challenge you to a duel!
[15:39] ---
    A duel?!
[15:41] ---
    She's a follower of Suhara,
    so the duel's allowed.
[15:45] ---
    It's in the school rules.
[15:46] ---
    What the hell kind of rule is that?!
[15:47] ---
    Whoever wins is the class pres!
[15:48] ---
    Huh?!
[15:49] ---
    I'm Miwa Hiroshi!
[15:50] ---
    Please call me Hiroshi.
[15:52] ---
    I've fallen for you! Let me call you "boss"!
[15:55] ---
    Uh, I really don't think this is the time
    to be saying things like that...
[16:01] ---
    Chesuto!
[16:07] ---
    It's a bit dangerous. So
    everyone, step back.
[16:14] ---
    Boss, take her out!
[16:15] ---
    Junko, don't lose!
[16:16] ---
    If you lose, this whole class will sink
    into a demon lord's hands!
[16:19] ---
    At this rate, nothing will end.
[16:29] ---
    Calm down.
[16:30] ---
    What are you doing?
[16:30] ---
    Let go of me!
[16:31] ---
    I won't let go until you understand
    what's happening.
[16:33] ---
    What's happening?
[16:34] ---
    You've completely embarrassed me,
    and you're even doing it right now!
[16:37] ---
    Like I'm saying, that's not it!
[16:39] ---
    I'm not trying to be evil about anything I do,
    and I'm not trying to embarrass you, either.
[16:43] ---
    Please believe me.
[16:44] ---
    I got to know you because I liked you.
[16:47] ---
    It wasn't some afterthought.
[16:49] ---
    So, please let's return to that.
[16:53] ---
    Sai... Akuto...
[16:55] ---
    Wow, talk about a demon lord!
[16:57] ---
    It only took him a second
    to make her his woman.
[16:58] ---
    This is what I meant by
    you embarrassing me!
[17:02] ---
    Prepare yourself!
[17:18] ---
    This is bad!
[17:24] ---
    Everyone, get down!
[17:39] ---
    Wh-What the heck just...
[17:44] ---
    A demon lord, eh?
[17:46] ---
    The classroom's already exploded!
[17:49] ---
    We don't need to move right now.
[17:52] ---
    I imagine I'll meet him soon enough.
[17:55] ---
    Guga.
[17:56] ---
    Understood, student council president!
SIGN    Boys Dormitory
[18:01] ---
    Welcome back, boss!
[18:03] ---
    You're from our class...
[18:05] ---
    I'm your man, Hiroshi!
[18:07] ---
    I'd like you to stop that...
[18:09] ---
    What are you saying?
[18:10] ---
    You already blew up the classroom and took
    control while everyone cowered in fear!
[18:14] ---
    That's some skill right there!
[18:16] ---
    That wasn't my intent!
[18:18] ---
    If there's anything you lack,
    please command me as you will.
[18:21] ---
    There's really nothing I need.
[18:23] ---
    Oh, yeah! Miwa?
[18:24] ---
    It's Hiroshi!
[18:25] ---
    What is it?
[18:26] ---
    I'd like to visit the girl's dorm.
[18:29] ---
    I see. I catch your drift...
[18:34] ---
    The class rep's room is right there,
    on the second floor.
[18:37] ---
    Got it. But why do we have to
    sneak in through the back?
[18:40] ---
    It'd be a huge deal if you just walked
    through the front door,
[18:42] ---
    considering you're a demon lord.
[18:44] ---
    Can you not call me that
    like it's already been decided?
[18:46] ---
    Anyway, just do as we planned.
[18:48] ---
    All right...
[18:50] ---
    I can't believe I lost consciousness
    due to something like that...
[18:55] ---
    This is the embarrassment of a lifetime.
[18:58] ---
    I guess I snapped because of
    what everyone was saying.
[19:02] ---
    I got to know you because I liked you.
[19:06] ---
    It wasn't some afterthought.
[19:11] ---
    What am I thinking about?
[19:16] ---
    He said it was proper etiquette to
    knock on the window three times.
[19:20] ---
    It's pretty dark. I wonder if she isn't in.
[19:24] ---
    This couldn't be more embarrassing!
[19:26] ---
    How much more are you
    going to humiliate me?!
[19:28] ---
    Wait just a second...
[19:29] ---
    I only came to apologize-
[19:30] ---
    It's the sign someone gives a significant other
    when they go see them at night!
[19:33] ---
    No! I thought this was supposed
    to be proper etiquette-
[19:36] ---
    So you admit you were trying to see me?!
[19:37] ---
    That's not it at all!
[19:38] ---
    I just-
[19:39] ---
    Stop saying that!
[19:42] ---
    Oh, that's the guy everyone's
    talking about.
[19:44] ---
    It looks like he's fighting
    with his girlfriend.
[19:44] ---
    This is bad.
[19:45] ---
    The situation's worsening...
[19:45] ---
    I heard that during class, he tried
    to commit double suicide with her.
[19:53] ---
    A-Anyway, calm down, okay?!
[19:55] ---
    No chance!
[19:59] ---
    We can talk this out!
[20:01] ---
    So that's the guy...
[20:04] ---
    Now I've just made everything worse!
[20:08] ---
    Who's come to visit me?
[20:12] ---
    You're...
[20:13] ---
    Yes. This is how I watch over the school
    and the world, protecting them both.
[20:20] ---
    Are you my prince?
[20:21] ---
    Huh?
[20:22] ---
    Do you have scratches covering
    your wonderful body
[20:24] ---
    because you crossed thorns
    to come and see me?
[20:27] ---
    I've found you!
[20:27] ---
    If so, then the white moon that rises into the night
    sky and the twinkling stars will surely protect you, and...
[20:31] ---
    She's completely gone into a frenzy!
[20:33] ---
    You should run away, too...
[20:37] ---
    Yep! Lately, protecting the prince
    has been a job for girls.
[20:41] ---
    What are you doing?!
[20:43] ---
    Get out of the way!
[20:43] ---
    I won't!
[20:44] ---
    He...
[20:47] ---
    means a lot to me.
[20:48] ---
    You bastard, do you try to lay your hands
    on every single girl you meet?
[20:51] ---
    That's not how it is!
    I just met her for the first time!
[20:54] ---
    I know! I'm saying you even go as far as to
    seduce girls the second you meet them!
[21:01] ---
    Move out of the way!
[21:02] ---
    I won't!
[21:03] ---
    Move out of the way!
[21:03] ---
    I won't!
[21:05] ---
    In that case...
[21:10] ---
    She cloned herself!
[21:12] ---
    I will protect him!
[21:14] ---
    Demon lord, prepare yourself!
[21:23] ---
    It happened again...
[21:26] ---
    How horrible...
[21:28] ---
    The power sleeping within me,
[21:30] ---
    that terrible power of mine, just awoke!
[21:34] ---
    I don't really think that's what happened.
[21:36] ---
    I'll have to work my whole
    life to atone for
[21:39] ---
    the sin of killing another with
    this forbidden power.
[21:40] ---
    I-I don't think
    she's dead.
[21:42] ---
    What should I do from now on?
[21:46] ---
    For this to have happened...
[21:49] ---
    What's wrong?
[21:54] ---
    You're Sai Akuto, correct?
[21:56] ---
    I'm an observer.
[21:58] ---
    My identification is Korone.
[22:02] ---
    And now an observer, too?
