[00:01] ---
    Future occupation: hero!
[00:03] ---
    Huh?
[00:04] ---
    Future occupation: hero!
[00:08] ---
    You, a hero?
[00:10] ---
    There must be some sort of mistake.
[00:12] ---
    Aren't you glad you were late for your examination,
    so no one else could hear that?
[00:16] ---
    Yeah...
[01:49] ---
    The Legendary
    Hero Appears*!*
[02:00] ---
    Korone!
[02:01] ---
    I'm fine.
[02:04] ---
    I'll be fine.
[02:06] ---
    There's something I need to ask you.
[02:09] ---
    Huh?
[02:10] ---
    How do you feel about Keena?
[02:13] ---
    Why are you asking about that now?
[02:16] ---
    It's important.
[02:18] ---
    I'm fine!
[02:19] ---
    Are you mad about what just happened?
[02:22] ---
    I'm not mad.
[02:24] ---
    But it's bad for me.
[02:27] ---
    I'm sorry...
[02:29] ---
    But I don't think it would
    be good for you, either.
[02:35] ---
    That's very sad for me.
[02:40] ---
    I have to conclude that I've failed.
[02:43] ---
    Failed?
[02:46] ---
    This may be the last time I see you.
[02:50] ---
    If that's the case, I have to
    say a proper farewell.
[02:53] ---
    Wait. What do you mean by that?
[02:55] ---
    Thank you for everything.
[03:03] ---
    Goodbye.
[03:05] ---
    Korone!
[03:09] ---
    Korone left?
[03:12] ---
    Acchan, I'm sorry.
[03:16] ---
    I remember what Etou told me.
[03:20] ---
    It appears that the Liladan was ordered
    to seduce Akuto, or something similar.
[03:25] ---
    I don't really think Akuto will
    be affected, however.
[03:29] ---
    It seems that, should she fail,
    she'll lose her observer position.
[03:34] ---
    I have to conclude that I've failed.
[03:41] ---
    So this is where you've been.
[03:44] ---
    Where are Mom and Dad?
[03:45] ---
    Inside. The villagers are making them
    have some drinks together.
[03:49] ---
    I see.
[03:50] ---
    It sounds like your son is a future hero.
[03:55] ---
    If we have Hiroshi,
    the village's safety will be assured.
[03:58] ---
    Is it true there's a demon lord at school?
[04:01] ---
    Some call him that.
[04:03] ---
    But he's not the demon lord that
    the village is worried about.
[04:07] ---
    What do you mean?
[04:08] ---
    He's my friend.
[04:10] ---
    Really? That's so cool!
[04:12] ---
    The Miwa's son is a wimp.
[04:16] ---
    Doesn't sound like he's doing
    that well in school, either.
[04:19] ---
    Yeah, but we need him to be a priest,
    or the village could be in trouble later.
[04:23] ---
    There's a rumor circulating that a
    demon lord's appeared at the school.
[04:27] ---
    But there's no problem because
    there's no hero to be found.
[04:30] ---
    But Miwa believes his son's the hero.
[04:36] ---
    Yeah right.
[04:37] ---
    He's the only one who never even learned to swim,
    and he grew up here on the island.
[04:43] ---
    Brother...
[04:44] ---
    Anyway, I'm going back to the lodge.
SIGN    Constant Magick Academy Lodge
[04:55] ---
    Someone's here to see me?
[04:58] ---
    You're a demon lord?
[05:00] ---
    No, I'm not... Some people
    just call me that.
[05:04] ---
    Yukiko!
[05:05] ---
    What are you doing here?
[05:07] ---
    She's your sister?
[05:09] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[05:10] ---
    I'm really sorry my sister's bugging you...
[05:11] ---
    Please tell me the truth!
[05:13] ---
    You aren't the hero, are you, Brother?!
[05:15] ---
    Yukiko...
[05:16] ---
    Hero?
[05:17] ---
    Y-Y-Y-Yeah... There's no
    way that'll happen...
[05:20] ---
    You're the hero, right?
[05:23] ---
    Yukiko...
[05:25] ---
    That's not right.
[05:27] ---
    I'm sure he doesn't want to be one, either.
[05:29] ---
    That's a lie!
[05:31] ---
    You're lying!
[05:33] ---
    Wh-Why am I lying?
[05:36] ---
    Because you're the Demon Lord!
[05:37] ---
    I told you I'm not a demon lord.
[05:39] ---
    That's not true! If you weren't the Demon Lord,
    there wouldn't be a hero, either!
[05:43] ---
    That can't be so. Your brother also
    doesn't want to be a hero.
[05:48] ---
    That's a lie!
[05:51] ---
    Yukiko!
[06:01] ---
    You idiot!
[06:02] ---
    Do you understand what you've done?
[06:04] ---
    I do... No, I just figured it out.
[06:08] ---
    In your need to deny that you're a demon lord,
    you've crushed her dreams.
[06:13] ---
    I did.
[06:15] ---
    That's not the only thing!
[06:16] ---
    Huh?
[06:17] ---
    What if Miwa, somewhere deep down,
    really does want to be the hero?
[06:23] ---
    Yukiko!
[06:25] ---
    Yukiko!
[06:29] ---
    Hiroshi!
[06:31] ---
    Keena.
[06:33] ---
    Have you seen your sister?
[06:35] ---
    We have to look for her.
[06:37] ---
    But I was surprised you're the hero.
[06:41] ---
    I couldn't be the hero.
[06:43] ---
    Besides, this happened because I didn't
    even like the thought of it...
[06:47] ---
    How about I tell you how ridiculous
    this whole legend thing is?
[06:51] ---
    Huh?
[06:52] ---
    This is the lake of the legend.
[06:59] ---
    It's pretty...
[07:00] ---
    It wouldn't be strange for it
    to be in a legend!
[07:07] ---
    The water in this lake is really sea water.
[07:11] ---
    Nearby caves connect it to the ocean.
[07:14] ---
    When air runs through those caves,
    based on the tides, sometimes they make noises.
[07:20] ---
    I see.
[07:21] ---
    There's a shrine in the caves,
    where you prove if you're a hero.
[07:26] ---
    Prove you're a hero?
[07:28] ---
    My grandfather built that shrine,
[07:31] ---
    and there's a small sword, stuck in a rock,
    that's supposed to be the proof.
[07:36] ---
    It's a sword that only the hero can pull out.
[07:39] ---
    You understand now, right?
[07:42] ---
    It's just something my family
    made up on their own.
[07:46] ---
    Ridiculous, huh?
[07:49] ---
    What was that?
[07:50] ---
    Sounded like a voice...
[07:52] ---
    Let's go see!
[07:53] ---
    Keena!
[07:58] ---
    Lake, hear my screams!
[08:02] ---
    What was that?
[08:05] ---
    I don't know...
[08:08] ---
    Isn't he...
[08:10] ---
    He looks like a complete perv.
[08:13] ---
    Listen you must, pitiful beast!
[08:26] ---
    What's happening?
[08:34] ---
    It's revived!
[08:36] ---
    It's a sea cucumber.
[08:40] ---
    What?
[08:42] ---
    You saw, didn't you?
[08:46] ---
    No!
[08:47] ---
    Yukiko!
[08:48] ---
    W-Wait!
[08:50] ---
    Brother!
[08:54] ---
    Take this!
[09:03] ---
    Let my sister go!
[09:04] ---
    This is worthless and artless,
    but as she's a witness, I must get rid of her.
[09:08] ---
    Of course, that also includes you.
[09:10] ---
    Screw you!
[09:12] ---
    Wait!
[09:13] ---
    That's right. It's a monster
    that sucks up mana.
[09:17] ---
    Mana affects everything in this world,
    and if the monster appears...
[09:23] ---
    Keena.
[09:24] ---
    "Sorry!"
[09:26] ---
    Pretty nice, having you come at me,
    naked, from behind. That's art!
[09:32] ---
    Brother, save me!
[09:32] ---
    "Not gonna happen!"
[09:34] ---
    That would be reckless.
[09:36] ---
    My brother's a hero!
[09:38] ---
    He'll defeat you in an instant!
[09:41] ---
    "Sorry!"
[09:49] ---
    Brother!
[09:51] ---
    "Sorry!"
    "Not gonna happen!"
[09:56] ---
    That's nice. You stood up.
[09:59] ---
    That reeks of recklessness.
[10:01] ---
    Nevertheless, it won't change
    this situation's outcome.
[10:04] ---
    That's because you're weak!
[10:06] ---
    Brother!
[10:08] ---
    It's sad, but people like that can't complain,
    no matter what outrageous things you do to them.
[10:13] ---
    You don't even have what
    it takes to hate me!
[10:16] ---
    Farewell!
[10:20] ---
    Hiroshi!
[10:20] ---
    Brother!
[10:24] ---
    Yukiko.
[10:29] ---
    Now, let's see.
[10:41] ---
    What is that?
[10:45] ---
    Who are you?
[10:46] ---
    I'll tell you the name I gave myself.
[10:48] ---
    I am Mister X!
[10:50] ---
    Be careful. He's definitely a weirdo.
[10:52] ---
    Shut up!
[10:53] ---
    You don't understand art at all.
[10:56] ---
    Art?
[10:57] ---
    That's right.
[10:58] ---
    I thought a demon lord would be able
    to better understand art.
[11:01] ---
    He knows that people
    call me a demon lord.
[11:04] ---
    Was he the one watching me yesterday?
[11:06] ---
    Acchan!
[11:12] ---
    "Sorry!"
[11:14] ---
    Why are you naked?
[11:15] ---
    What did you do to Keena?!
[11:17] ---
    I haven't done anything.
[11:19] ---
    I just thought it'd be nice for you,
    the demon lord, to see me kill them.
[11:23] ---
    The boy I just disposed of
    wasn't interesting at all.
[11:27] ---
    Boy?
[11:28] ---
    He's talking about Hiroshi! He...
[11:31] ---
    He killed him?
[11:33] ---
    That's right. Was he someone you knew?
[11:40] ---
    This guy is good. Otherwise,
    it wouldn't be art.
[11:46] ---
    Acchan!
[11:48] ---
    "No peeking!"
[11:51] ---
    Wait for me.
[11:52] ---
    Acchan...
[11:54] ---
    It's okay. I won't lose to a guy like that.
[11:56] ---
    You can't kill him.
[11:59] ---
    Got it.
[12:00] ---
    What are you after?
[12:03] ---
    It's simple.
[12:04] ---
    Just stand here and watch
    the village be destroyed.
[12:06] ---
    All I have to do is stop you
    from getting in the way!
[12:10] ---
    What?
[12:11] ---
    H-He's a perv!
[12:14] ---
    This is noise music!
[12:16] ---
    This is the pinnacle of art! The best music!
[12:17] ---
    Knock it off! Pervert!
[12:21] ---
    What?
[12:22] ---
    Acchan!
[12:23] ---
    How is that possible? Akuto's body
    should be mana-strengthened.
[12:27] ---
    He should be fine, no matter how
    many times he's punched.
[12:31] ---
    I'm an expert at anti-mage combat.
[12:34] ---
    This is noise!
[12:36] ---
    Noise?
[12:36] ---
    That's right.
[12:37] ---
    Unpredictable noise confuses one's mind.
[12:40] ---
    Basically, you can't use magick,
    while listening to my noise!
[12:48] ---
    I love my noise!
[12:50] ---
    So, in short, only I can magickally
    strengthen my body.
[12:54] ---
    When I use my art to fight, even a
    demon lord will end up hugging the ground!
[13:00] ---
    "Sorry!"
[13:04] ---
    Acchan!
[13:04] ---
    Akuto!
[13:05] ---
    Don't worry!
[13:07] ---
    I won't kill the demon lord.
[13:08] ---
    I need him to take the blame
    for destroying the village.
[13:12] ---
    But I must kill any who witness my doing so.
[13:18] ---
    I wasn't able to become stronger...
[13:20] ---
    No. I didn't want the responsibilities
    that come with strength.
[13:26] ---
    In the end, I used every excuse
    I could think of to run away...
[13:33] ---
    You're the hero, right?
[13:37] ---
    Is it right for me to drown and die here?
[13:40] ---
    If I swim, I might be able to do something.
[13:43] ---
    I can do it now.
[13:45] ---
    I can change now!
[13:50] ---
    Junko!
[13:51] ---
    Enough! I don't want to
    die while he watches!
[13:55] ---
    That goes for me and you!
[13:57] ---
    Yeah.
[13:59] ---
    You can't do that...
[14:06] ---
    It's nice that you're standing,
    but do you have a plan?
[14:11] ---
    That's a good idea!
[14:13] ---
    Akuto!
[14:14] ---
    Acchan!
[14:22] ---
    I have to protect them.
[14:25] ---
    Keena treated me normally, even though
    people said I was a demon lord.
[14:29] ---
    And even Hattori grew to understand me.
[14:33] ---
    I can't lose them!
[14:49] ---
    I guess I can't be a hero...
[14:53] ---
    No. I'm already a hero.
[14:57] ---
    Pulling this out doesn't make me a hero.
[15:03] ---
    I already am a hero. But I don't yet have
    the strength to be called one.
[15:09] ---
    I'll get that power now!
[15:12] ---
    Authentication completed.
[15:13] ---
    Welcome, Brave.
[15:19] ---
    I am the personal anti-mage
    combat unit, D13.
[15:23] ---
    Please give me the activation command.
[15:25] ---
    The default is "Brave."
[15:27] ---
    Brave?
[15:28] ---
    Command acknowledged.
[15:30] ---
    Transfer of primary unit in progress.
[15:37] ---
    Transfer complete.
[15:39] ---
    Power connections: normal.
[15:41] ---
    Life-support system: normal.
[15:43] ---
    Switching to circulation, using external air.
[15:45] ---
    Please activate the fusion
    engine via mental input.
[15:48] ---
    This is it!
[15:49] ---
    This is it! This is it!
[15:51] ---
    With this, I can take down that weirdo!
    And even that monster!
[16:00] ---
    What are you laughing at?!
[16:02] ---
    I understand now!
[16:03] ---
    I understand what this noise
    of yours is about!
[16:06] ---
    It's the noise, the shouting, of your soul.
[16:08] ---
    That means that if my soul shouts louder,
    I should be able to do anything I want!
[16:15] ---
    It'd be too easy if you could
    cancel out the noise that way!
[16:20] ---
    You're able to control your magick?
[16:22] ---
    That's right!
[16:26] ---
    Go down!
[16:34] ---
    I'm glad you understand my art!
[16:37] ---
    But I'm acting here for a grander purpose!
[16:40] ---
    That's the greatest art.
[16:41] ---
    I'm sure you'll love it, too.
[16:44] ---
    A grander purpose?
[16:45] ---
    War, war, and war!
[16:47] ---
    That's the greatest representation of art!
[16:50] ---
    War brings about all the art
    that echoes in one's heart.
[16:53] ---
    Most dictators in the past were geniuses,
    charismatic, and understanding of the arts.
[16:57] ---
    Within that lineage, you're
    just another individual!
[16:59] ---
    I'm me! That's the one thing
    I will never give up!
[17:02] ---
    But completely unaware, you keep
    sacrificing everything around you.
[17:06] ---
    Even now, you're sacrificing these women
    to your insistence on your beliefs!
[17:14] ---
    Doing this isn't art...
[17:18] ---
    How sad. When I'm not around,
    you can't do anything on your own?
[17:23] ---
    Korone!
[17:23] ---
    "Sorry!"
[17:24] ---
    Korone!
[17:25] ---
    "Only You Can Prevent Fires!"
[17:27] ---
    It's the fireproof cape one
    should always carry.
[17:30] ---
    Korone...
[17:31] ---
    You came back?
[17:32] ---
    Yes, after negotiating a plea bargain.
[17:37] ---
    You're one of the CIMO8.
    Your codename is Mister X.
[17:40] ---
    Right here.
[17:41] ---
    It has been determined that you act beyond the
    Ministry of Magickal Intelligence's mandate.
[17:46] ---
    What?
[17:47] ---
    As Sai Akuto's observer,
    I shall neutralize you.
[17:53] ---
    It's pointless. I cannot be affected by that.
[18:04] ---
    Damn it.
[18:11] ---
    Thanks for coming back.
[18:13] ---
    Before we greet each other,
    there's one remaining problem over there.
[18:20] ---
    Let's hurry.
[18:21] ---
    Right.
[18:25] ---
    What is that?
[18:30] ---
    Do you have any weapons?
[18:31] ---
    There is a high-frequency
    blade in the right hand.
[18:34] ---
    In the left hand, there
    is a molecular cutter.
[18:36] ---
    On the back, there are six lasers.
[18:38] ---
    Please use the link to see more options.
[18:41] ---
    I get the general idea.
[18:46] ---
    Lasers!
[18:49] ---
    Wow...
[18:53] ---
    Dad! Mom!
[18:54] ---
    Are there any weapons for
    eliminating large objects?
[18:57] ---
    For that, there are two options.
[18:59] ---
    The first is a fusion bomb.
[19:01] ---
    The other?
[19:02] ---
    A sphere of high-temperature plasma.
[19:03] ---
    Let's do that.
[19:04] ---
    Roger.
[19:10] ---
    Plasma sphere.
[19:11] ---
    Static field: green.
[19:13] ---
    Dimensional-dislocation field: active.
[19:15] ---
    Contact with target in five seconds.
[19:32] ---
    I am Brave.
    The legendary hero!
[19:35] ---
    Brave!
[19:37] ---
    The hero!
[19:45] ---
    Why do you protect this man?
[19:47] ---
    Let me ask you instead,
    why must he die?
[19:51] ---
    I obtained this power to protect everyone.
[19:54] ---
    Unless I get rid of him,
    I can't protect this island!
[20:09] ---
    Hey! Boss!
[20:12] ---
    Yukiko!
[20:14] ---
    Brother!
[20:16] ---
    Hiroshi...
[20:18] ---
    I was saved by Brave.
[20:21] ---
    I see...
[20:25] ---
    Basically, the ministry office
    didn't know about CIMO8.
[20:31] ---
    So you're using that information
    to threaten them?
[20:35] ---
    Along with compelling the Director of
    Magickal Intelligence to apologize,
[20:37] ---
    they must recognize the Mahct Church's
    authority to observe you.
[20:42] ---
    In other words, you no longer
    have to seduce me?
[20:45] ---
    I have received no orders otherwise.
[20:48] ---
    But now that I know about it,
    it isn't like it'll work.
[20:52] ---
    You seem to be misunderstanding
    something.
[20:55] ---
    I tried to instruct you on sexual matters because
    you seemed inept at relations with women.
[21:00] ---
    Huh?
[21:01] ---
    My plan was to marry you to
    a woman from a good family.
[21:04] ---
    Akuto, please marry Junko.
[21:07] ---
    What?!
[21:08] ---
    Huh?
[21:10] ---
    I thought I failed due to
    misinterpreting your liking Keena,
[21:15] ---
    but it seems there hasn't been any
    progress on that front.
[21:18] ---
    If that's the case, please marry Junko
    and enter her family.
[21:24] ---
    Uh, um, m-marry?
[21:33] ---
    What was that about?
[21:34] ---
    Anyway, what are you trying to do?
[21:36] ---
    Is there a problem?
[21:37] ---
    I'm asking you what part my
    feelings play in all of this.
[21:40] ---
    If that's the case, then I
    have feelings, as well.
[21:43] ---
    These orders were actually
    very difficult for me.
[21:47] ---
    I mean, I... I really care about you, too.
[21:51] ---
    Korone...
[21:56] ---
    So this is how you like your women.
[21:59] ---
    Y-You were teasing me?
[22:02] ---
    I was just kidding.
