**[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.
