[00:01] Machina
Not that long ago,
[00:05] Machina
there were two forces fighting
for dominance of Alnaeth.
[00:11] Machina
One was the mortals with limited lifespans,
[00:23] Machina
and the other was the immortals,
freed from the shackles of death.
[00:37] Machina
The Immortal War split the world in twain
and became fiercer than any before.
[00:59] Machina
In the end, the fate of the world
rested on a battle between two men.
[01:05] Machina
One was the Gram, the Hero weilding the
Holy Sword Ixasorde of the Goddess Meldia.
[01:12] Machina
The other was the Demon Lord ruling over
all immortals, Veltol Velvet Velsvalt.
[02:06] Machina
In the year 1599 of the Continental Era,
[02:09] Machina
on the 12th day of the month of the dragon,
[02:13] Machina
that story came to its end with a flash.
[02:36] (Flashback) Veltol
Well done, Hero.
[02:42] (Flashback) Veltol
Well done indeed.
[02:44] (Flashback) Veltol
You, a mortal, have defeated me.
[02:47] (Flashback) Veltol
I commend your strength,
and most of all, your courage.
[02:54] (Flashback) Gram
You were strong as well. Truly.
[03:00] (Flashback) Veltol
Why did I lose?
[03:02] (Flashback) Veltol
I was superior to you frail
and fleeting mortals
[03:06] (Flashback) Veltol
in my strategy, my military strength,
my power, and every other respect.
[03:13] (Flashback) Veltol
So why? Tell me.
[03:21] (Flashback) Gram
It's life.
[03:24] (Flashback) Veltol
Life?
[03:26] (Flashback) Gram
We have life.
[03:29] (Flashback) Gram
Perhaps that makes us seem
frail and fleeting to you.
[03:34] (Flashback) Gram
Though that's exactly why
[03:37] (Flashback) Gram
we do everything in our power to live.
[03:39] (Flashback) Gram
Our weakness drives us
to try and be strong,
[03:44] (Flashback) Gram
and that's where we discover
the glimmers of life.
[03:47] (Flashback) Veltol
Glimmers of life?
[03:49] (Flashback) Veltol
Enough of your jokes.
[03:51] (Flashback) Veltol
As if such nonsense could
ever bring about my defeat.
[03:54] (Flashback) Gram
Even so, we won.
[03:58] (Flashback) Gram
I believe this victory came from
that light which we mortals possess.
[04:05] (Flashback) Veltol
Take heed, Hero.
[04:09] (Flashback) Veltol
Wherever there is light,
there must also be darkness.
[04:14] (Flashback) Veltol
So long as darkness exists, I shall appear
before your light time and time again.
[04:20] (Flashback) Veltol
For I am the Invincible King.
[04:23] (Flashback) Gram
Then I'll face that darkness
time and time again.
[04:30] (Flashback) Veltol
Farewell, my greatest
sworn enemy, Hero Gram.
[04:42] (Flashback) Gram
Farewell, my most hated foe,
Demon Lord Veltol.
[04:53] (Flashback) Gram
I shall return home.
[05:01] Machina
Yet the world lived on.
[05:11] Machina
Lord Veltol.
[05:17] Veltol
Machina?
[05:18] Machina
Yes.
[05:19] Machina
It is I, one of the pillars
of the Six Dark Peers,
[05:21] Machina
Machina Soleige,
Duchess of the Dazzling Blaze.
[05:23] Machina
I have been awaiting this
moment for 500 years.
[05:27] Veltol
Raise your head.
[05:28] Machina
Yes.
[05:30] Machina
Please forgive me for attending
to you in such attire.
[05:34] Veltol
It's fine.
[05:36] Veltol
More importantly, you saw to
the completion of the Methenoel,
[05:39] Veltol
my rite of reincarnation,
and raced to attend my rebirth.
[05:43] Veltol
Now, where are we?
[05:46] Machina
In the underground cathedral of Nelldor's
dungeon, below the former Shinjuku Station.
[05:51] Veltol
Well, no matter.
[05:52] Veltol
Now, Machina!
[05:54] Veltol
The Demon Lord has just returned!
[05:57] Veltol
Join me once more in our
domination of Alnaeth!
[06:00] Machina
I have something to report regarding that.
[06:03] Veltol
What is it?
[06:04] Machina
The world we were to rule
has already perished.
[06:10] Veltol
Huh?
[06:13] Machina
Roughly 80 years ago,
[06:15] Machina
our world of Alnaeth and Earth,
a world from another dimension,
[06:21] Machina
were caught in an unprecedented
catastrophe and fused together.
[06:25] Machina
This event has come to
be known as the Fantasion,
[06:28] Machina
and it has caused a seismic shift.
[06:30] Machina
During the first three years,
90% of the population was wiped out.
[06:35] Machina
National governments ceased to function,
[06:38] Machina
and cities began to function
as independent city-states.
[06:43] Machina
There were also two major wars
between those city-states,
[06:46] Machina
and the wounds of those conflicts
are finally starting to heal.
[06:50] Machina
That's the present state
of the era we're in.
[06:54] Machina
The industrial civilization of Earth
possessed advanced technology,
[06:57] Machina
while the magic civilization
of Alnaeth possessed magitech.
[07:01] Machina
The fusion of those
two differing systems
[07:05] Machina
resulted in rapid advancement.
[07:07] Machina
The year is now 2099 of the Fused Era.
[07:12] Machina
This is...
[07:17] Machina
the new world we live in.
[07:27] Veltol
What the hell is this?!
[08:50] Veltol
I can't believe mortal civilization
has advanced this much.
[08:53] Machina
Ah, Lord Veltol!
[08:55] Ogre
Tsk. Watch where you're going!
[08:58] Veltol
Pardon me. I was lost in thought.
[09:01] Machina
Oh, yes.
[09:02] Machina
My apologies.
[09:04] Veltol
Honestly...
[09:06] Veltol
Does he not even understand which of
the Six Dark Peers he bumped into?
[09:12] Machina
Lord Veltol?
[09:14] Veltol
I guess I'll have to ensure those foolish
mortals understand it with their very souls.
[09:21] Machina
Ah! Umm, Lord Veltol!
[09:21] Veltol
Behold! The secret art of chantless
magic that only the Demon Lord can use!
[09:24] Machina
Uh, umm... well, right now
that's not a good—!
[09:29] Veltol
Ell Stunna!
[09:35] Mob
Hey, look.
[09:36] Mob
Weather magic?
[09:38] Mob
I suppose there's always someone stupid
doing something stupid somewhere.
[09:47] Veltol
How discordant.
[09:48] Machina
It's forbidden to use
grand magic inside the city.
[09:52] Veltol
What?
[09:53] Machina
We need to get out of here.
[09:53] Veltol
H-Hey...
[09:56] Veltol
Why must I stoop to running?
[09:58] Machina
Please! Please!

[10:06] Machina
Lord Veltol, after your death,
we agreed to a ceasefire with the mortals.
[10:13] Machina
Then roughly 80 years ago,
[10:16] Machina
the disruption of the Fantasion
[10:18] Machina
caused the citizens of the Immortal Kingdom
to scatter and relocate to the major cities.
[10:22] Machina
Not long after, the major industries
began a campaign.
[10:27] Veltol
A campaign?
[10:30] Machina
The Immortal Hunts.
[10:33] Machina
Immortals were treated as vile
creatures rather than people
SIGN Growing rejection
of immortals:
Demonstrations
in various parts
of the country
[10:37] Machina
and targeted for elimination.
SIGN Shinjuku Accords Signed
"Immortals are not people, and the world agrees."
SIGN Anti-Immortal Sentiment Grows.
[10:40] Machina
With the advancement of magineering,
[10:42] Machina
Anti-Immortal Weaponry was
developed and mass-produced,
[10:46] Machina
nearly wiping us out.
[10:49] Veltol
What happened to the Six Dark Peers?
[10:52] Machina
The whereabouts of May, the Mournful Firmament,
Sihlwald, the Black Dragon,
[10:56] Machina
and Ralsheen, the Blue Storm,
are all unknown.
[11:00] Machina
Zenol, the Karmic Sword,
[11:02] Machina
acted as a decoy and charged
the enemy so I could escape.
[11:06] Machina
He said he was doing it for you
since Ralsheen and I
[11:12] Machina
were the only ones who knew
how to activate the Methenoel.
[11:16] Veltol
He always was a man of deep loyalty.
[11:19] Veltol
Truly, he served me well.
[11:25] Veltol
What about Marcus of the Bloody Arts?
[11:27] Machina
Huh?
[11:28] Machina
Uh...
[11:30] Machina
Lord Veltol, are you thirsty?
[11:35] Veltol
Not particularly.
[11:36] Machina
Even if doesn't affect you,
[11:38] Machina
the air of this city is far too
polluted for you to breathe!
[11:43] Machina
I'll go buy you a drink to soothe
your throat, Lord Veltol.
[11:47] Machina
Please wait here for a little while.
[11:50] Vtuber
Good morning!
[11:54] Vtuber
Yoo-hoo!
[12:00] UndonShop
Two is plenty.
[12:02] Customer
No, four.
[12:03] UdonShop
Two is plenty. Please understand.
[12:16] MaleActorA
Yeah!
[12:17] Passerby1
Huh?! What's this?!
[12:18] MaleActorA
Is that all you can take?
[12:19] Passerby2
Are the public ads getting hacked?
[12:19] MaleActorB
No, I can still keep going!
[12:21] MaleActorA
Yeah, that's right!
[12:23] MaleActorB
Yes!
[12:23] MaleActorA
Your body is begging me to torment it.
[12:26] Veltol
You there, woman.
[12:26] MaleActorB
I want more, please!
[12:29] MaleActorA
Here I go!
[12:31] Takahashi
M-Me?
[12:31] MaleActorA
Yes. Good, good.
[12:33] Veltol
Yes.
[12:34] MaleActorA
You're getting filled up, aren't you?
[12:35] Takahashi
What?
[12:37] Veltol
What did you just do?
[12:38] ManActorB
I can still take more!
[12:39] Takahashi
Huh?
[12:40] MaleActorA
Good, only five more times!
[12:40] Takahashi
W-What are you talking
about? I don't understand.
[12:43] MaleActorA
Yes!
[12:45] Veltol
I saw the aether around you waver,
[12:48] Veltol
and then those projections changed.
[12:52] Takahashi
You discovered my hacking from
fluctuations in the aether?
[12:56] Takahashi
Impossible.
[12:57] Takahashi
Who are you?
[13:01] Veltol
The Demon Lord.
[13:03] Takahashi
Are you for real?
[13:04] Veltol
I understand that you did something
to those fake projections,
[13:10] Veltol
but I don't understand
the principle behind it.
[13:13] Veltol
You seem to be quite the expert to me.
[13:15] Takahashi
Well, I didn't do anything that impressive.
[13:20] Takahashi
Just some simple hacking.
[13:22] Takahashi
Aether hacking!
[13:24] Veltol
Hacking?
[13:26] Takahashi
Yup. Despite appearances, I also take on
dangerous jobs that could cost me my life.
[13:32] Takahashi
I'm an aether hacker!
[13:34] Takahashi
So as for what I just did,
[13:36] Takahashi
you see, there's a fatal
vulnerability in the logic barrier
[13:38] Takahashi
of the program for the
holodisplays made by IHMI,
[13:40] Takahashi
which form the majority of
Shinjuku City's current displays.
[13:42] Takahashi
So I just prodded that and slipped
in some porn ads I found on the net.
[13:47] Takahashi
Now, I don't want you to
the get the wrong idea
[13:51] Takahashi
and assume I just did that out of
intellectual curiosity or boredom.
[13:54] Takahashi
IHMI is pretty strict about net
regulations and filtering content,
[13:58] Takahashi
so they're an enemy to my beliefs that the
net should be a place for true freedom.
[14:01] Takahashi
So well, this was also a
bit of activism for me.
[14:06] Takahashi
As someone who embodies punk and
rebels against this rotten society,
[14:10] Takahashi
I use my talents as a pretty,
super-genius hacker to—
[14:13] Veltol
Tell me.
[14:14] Takahashi
What?
[14:15] Veltol
I'm searching for a man named Marcus.
[14:18] Veltol
Have you ever heard that name before?
[14:21] Takahashi
You might find him if you go there.
[14:23] Takahashi
The CEO of that company is
named Marcus, and he's famous.
SIGN Ishimaru Heavy Magic Industries
[14:48] Android
Welcome to IHMI.
[14:50] Android
Please state your business.
[14:52] Veltol
Tell Marcus I'm here.
[14:54] Veltol
He'll understand when you
tell him Veltol is here.
[14:56] Kinohara
We've been waiting for you.
[14:59] Kinohara
I am Director Marcus' private secretary.
[15:03] Kinohara
My name is Kinohara.
[15:12] Kinohara
What is the matter?
[15:13] Veltol
Well, I was curious about
that mysterious creature.
[15:17] Kinohara
This is the proud mascot character of
Ishimaru Magic Heavy Industries, Ishimary.
[15:22] Kinohara
We plan to create a movement
around him in the near future.
[15:28] Veltol
It's a unique creature.
[15:33] Marcus
It's been a long time, my king.
[15:39] Veltol
Marcus. It's disrespectful
to remain seated.
[15:43] Marcus
What business brings you here today?
[15:47] Veltol
Should you not first be
celebrating my resurrection?
[15:50] Marcus
Yes, well...
[15:53] Veltol
Never mind.
[15:54] Veltol
You will help me rebuild the Immortal Kingdom
and dominate this world once again.
[16:09] Marcus
I refuse!
[16:10] Veltol
What?
[16:11] Marcus
I just told you that I refuse,
my king—no, Veltol.
[16:20] Veltol
You dare make light of my name?
[16:23] Veltol
How insolent!
[16:24] Kinohara
Dragon Blade, Chidori.
[16:35] Veltol
Armament forging magic?
[16:37] Marcus
It's alright, Kinohara. Stand down.
[16:41] Kinohara
As you wish.
[16:45] Marcus
You've grown weak.
[16:48] Marcus
A wound like that once would have
sealed the moment you were cut,
[16:51] Marcus
without a single drop of
blood being shed.
[16:54] Marcus
And you say you'll take over this world?
[16:57] Marcus
Please don't make me laugh.
[16:59] Marcus
The faith that supported you and the fear
you represented have all been lost to oblivion.
[17:05] Marcus
I will not bow my head to such a weakling.
[17:09] Marcus
Now hurry up and begone from my sight.
[17:12] Marcus
Though perhaps...
[17:13] Marcus
if you were to prostrate yourself
on the ground and beg,
[17:17] Marcus
then maybe I could consider it.
[17:21] Veltol
You should already know
that you can't beat me.
[17:25] Marcus
Care to try it?
[17:27] Veltol
Ver—
[17:28] Marcus
Spell Breaker.
[17:32] Marcus
You're two steps too slow.
[17:35] Veltol
Impossible!
[17:37] Veltol
How?!
[17:44] Marcus
You must be wondering how someone like you,
who can cast magic without chanting,
[17:47] Marcus
could be rendered powerless by someone
like me who has no talent for magic.
[17:51] Marcus
Is that what you're thinking?
[17:54] Marcus
Demon Lord Veltol!
[17:56] Marcus
Is it?
[17:57] Marcus
You are, aren't you?
[17:59] Marcus
This is why.
[18:01] Veltol
What is that?
[18:03] Marcus(Video)
Today, we're introducing you to
the fruit of mankind's wisdom,
[18:07] Marcus(Video)
the latest in magineering,
[18:10] Marcus(Video)
the magigadget, Familia.
[18:12] Marcus(Video)
As you all know, activating magic
requires a five step process
[18:17] Marcus(Video)
of initialization, construction, expansion,
incantation, and proclamation.
[18:22] Marcus(Video)
With the Familia,
[18:23] Marcus(Video)
you can skip the steps of construction,
expansion, and incantation.
[18:27] Marcus(Video)
Those implanted with a Familia
[18:29] Marcus(Video)
can simply make a selection
and the magic they want to use
[18:32] Marcus(Video)
will be activated with
just a proclamation.
[18:34] Marcus(Video)
By implanting this device,
[18:36] Marcus(Video)
people of all races and ages
[18:38] Marcus(Video)
can use magic without incantation,
construction, or expansion.
[18:43] Marcus(Video)
Make your dreams a reality.
[18:46] Marcus(Video)
That's our Familia.
[18:48] Marcus
By the way, I designed the
Familia so that it can't meld
[18:52] Marcus
with the bodies of higher
incorporeal beings like you.
[18:55] Marcus
So you cannot use a Familia.
[18:59] Marcus
If you were to implant a Familia
after your eventual resurrection,
[19:02] Marcus
then I would lose my
upper hand, wouldn't I?
[19:05] Marcus
That would be bad, extremely bad.
[19:09] Veltol
Vern—
[19:10] Marcus
Spell Breaker.
[19:12] Marcus
Your magic processing speed is impressive.
[19:15] Marcus
However, the Familia's is even faster,
[19:18] Marcus
and it's now a daily necessity
owned by everyone.
[19:21] Marcus
Without one implanted,
you are far too slow for this world.
[19:27] Veltol
Why, Marcus?
[19:28] Marcus
Why, why, why, how disgraceful.
[19:32] Marcus
Did you seriously believe that
I had sworn loyalty to you?
[19:37] Marcus
I never liked you from the beginning.
[19:41] Marcus
You're tyrannical, arrogant, and you always
proved better than me at everything
[19:44] Marcus
so I hated you from
the bottom of my heart!
[19:48] Marcus
Can you even begin to comprehend
how I felt as I was forced
[19:52] Marcus
to content myself with serving as a
vassal to such a man for so long?!
[19:56] Marcus
Pardon me, I lost my composure.
[19:59] Veltol
Are you saying
I was blind the whole time?
[20:02] Marcus
I'm glad to see you understand.
[20:05] Marcus
It's about time I asked you to leave.
[20:07] Marcus
Blood Sword.
[20:15] Marcus
Goodbye, old king.
[20:23] Marcus
Blood to Bomb!
[20:27] Marcus
Now the fantasy of the former
Demon Lord has come to an end.
[20:31] Marcus
From now on,
I shall be the true Demon Lord.
[20:35] Kinohara
Director.
[20:36] Marcus
What is it?
[20:38] Kinohara
I'd like to discuss the
merchandising plan for Ishimary.
[20:44] Marcus
Submit your ideas at the planning meetings.
[20:53] Veltol
My regeneration is too slow.
[21:00] Veltol
Damn it!
[21:01] Ogre
Huh?
[21:02] Ogre
Hey, you! You don't get to cuss me out
after running into me!
[21:06] Veltol
Insolent fool.
[21:08] Ogre
Huh?
[21:09] Machina
Lord Veltol!
[21:11] Machina
Lord Veltol!
[21:14] Passerby
Huh? Was he in a fight?
[21:16] Passerby
Whoa, brutal!
[21:19] Veltol
Why did I lose?
[21:22] Veltol
Stupid glimmers of life?
[21:22] Machina
Lord Veltol! Lord Veltol!
[21:25] Machina
Lord Veltol!
[21:27] Machina
Stay with me!
[21:28] Machina
Lord Veltol! Lord Veltol!
[21:29] Veltol
That's just...
[21:31] Machina
Lord Veltol!
[21:32] Veltol
That's just...
[21:38] Machina
I'm so sorry.
[21:41] Veltol
Why are you apologizing, Machina?
[21:43] Machina
I hesitated to inform you
of Marcus' betrayal,
[21:46] Machina
and you've suffered such
injuries because of that.
[21:51] Veltol
It's fine.
[21:52] Veltol
Had you told me, I would have had a greater
desire to see Marcus and confirm it for myself.
[22:09] Machina
This is my current home.
[22:12] Veltol
Oh? It lacks charm,
but it's fairly sizable.
[22:17] Veltol
You've done a splendid job securing a
castle like this in this current era.
[22:22] Machina
It's this way.
[22:23] Veltol
That way?
[22:34] Veltol
This is awfully small for a storeroom.
[22:37] Machina
No.
[22:41] Machina
This room is my home.
[22:47] Veltol
Enough joking.
[22:50] Machina
My salary is low.
[22:54] Veltol
You've been living like this all this time?
[22:57] Machina
Yes.
[23:06] Veltol
The true depth of your loyalty
has been burned into my eyes.
[23:13] Veltol
You've truly served me well.
[23:20] Machina
Your praise is more than I deserve.

[00:23] Chief
Drop her in!
[00:24] Villager4
Yes!
[00:51] Villager3
Wh-What?!
[00:52] Old
It's a disaster!
[00:53] Veltol
I came because I heard rumors
of an immortal, but...
[00:56] Veltol
Indeed.
[00:58] Veltol
You are beautiful.
[01:00] Veltol
Your soul shines as bright
and fiery as the sun.
[01:04] Veltol
It would be a shame
for you to perish here.
[01:08] Veltol
Come, woman.
[01:09] Veltol
Devote your body and your soul to me.
[01:30] Machina
Alarm, off.
[01:55] Machina
Eleclait.
[01:59] Elec
Good morning, Miss Machina.
[02:01] Elec
It is currently the 13th of the
month of the Dragon, 2099 Fused Era.
[02:07] Elec
The current time is 6:03 AM.
[02:09] Elec
The average temperature within the
cryotolerance zone is -2 degrees.
[02:14] Machina
It's warm today.
[02:15] Machina
How are you doing, Elec?
[02:17] Elec
Your Familia is currently
operating in normal mode.
[02:21] Elec
The magistorage and
quantum processing features
[02:24] Elec
are all functioning in
optimal condition.
[02:28] Machina
That wasn't what I meant...
[02:30] Machina
But forget it.
[02:35] Machina
Lord Veltol.
[02:39] Machina
I have finished preparing breakfast.
[02:45] Veltol
Oh? I've never seen
any of these before.
[02:48] Veltol
They smell good, though.
[02:51] Veltol
It stimulates even
an immortal's appetite.
[02:54] Machina
I hope it's to your liking.
[02:57] Veltol
Well, let's try it.
[03:23] Veltol
It's good.
[05:05] Veltol
Do you know the whereabouts
of any other immortals?
[05:10] Machina
I know there are others who escaped
the Immortal Hunts like I did.
[05:14] Machina
But recently, immortals
have been disappearing,
[05:17] Machina
and I've lost contact with my close aides,
Ornared and Palmlock, as well.
[05:22] Machina
I hope they've just gone
into hiding somewhere.
[05:25] Veltol
Are these Immortal Hunts
still happening?
[05:28] Machina
No, the Immortal Hunts
ended several decades ago.
[05:33] Machina
The prejudice people felt at
the time has waned as well.
[05:36] Machina
They were originally instigated
to secure Marcus' position,
[05:40] Machina
and he has no reason
to revive them.
[05:44] Machina
I went to my aides' rooms
after I lost contact,
[05:48] Machina
and it looked like there
had been a fight inside,
[05:50] Machina
but the hastily scrawled note they left
behind contained only a single phrase.
SIGN Immortal Furnace
[05:57] Veltol
"Immortal Furnace"?
[05:59] Machina
I just hope they're both safe.
[06:03] Machina
Lord Veltol?!
[06:05] Veltol
I'm all right.
[06:06] Veltol
I appear to still have a few
traces of yesterday's injury.
[06:10] Veltol
More than just my
regeneration has weakened.
[06:13] Veltol
The Ell Stunna I released
[06:15] Veltol
would have completely cleared away
those clouds if I had my full power.
[06:21] Veltol
Everything has deteriorated greatly
compared to before my resurrection.
[06:26] Machina
Lord Veltol, that's because the faith
that served as a source of your power
[06:30] Machina
has greatly declined in this modern age.
[06:33] Veltol
Without others to recognize and
turn their emotions toward me,
[06:36] Veltol
my power of faith has been lost.
[06:39] Veltol
I suppose that means I'm being forgotten.
[06:43] Machina
At present, you're only spoken
of as a part of history.
[06:48] Veltol
It's nothing to fret over.
[06:51] Veltol
Le Dua.
[06:55] Veltol
My life is eternal.
[06:58] Veltol
I simply need to gradually reclaim my faith.
[07:03] Veltol
Now, sitting around here would be tedious.
[07:06] Veltol
I'm going to survey the surrounding area.
[07:08] Machina
Are you well enough for that?
[07:10] Veltol
I'm well enough for daily life.
[07:13] Veltol
Sitting around napping all day
would be far worse for my body.
[07:18] Machina
Um, in that case...
[07:20] Veltol
Hm? What is it?
[07:23] Machina
Would you like to go shopping?
[07:27] Machina
We should start by procuring some
clothing for you, Lord Veltol.
[07:40] Veltol
What is this?
[07:42] Machina
Please stand there.
[07:44] Machina
It'll take a 3D-scan.
[07:47] Veltol
A 3D-scan?
[07:51] Machina
I'm well aware
[07:52] Machina
that it would typically be my
duty as your vassal to prepare
[07:57] Machina
much higher quality garments than
those this store offers, but...
[08:01] Veltol
No matter.
[08:03] Veltol
When one possesses
true beauty, as I do,
[08:05] Veltol
even cheap attire is unable
to tarnish that elegance.
[08:10] Veltol
I would even be perfectly at ease baring
my natural body before the masses!
[08:16] Machina
No, please wear something!
[08:19] Machina
The common people are far too unworthy
of beholding your royal body!
[08:23] Veltol
Is that so?
[08:25] Machina
Yes, it is.
[08:29] Machina
Do you have any preferences
for your clothing?
[08:32] Veltol
I leave it up to you.
[08:34] Machina
As you wish.
[08:37] Machina
Elec, please select the best option from the
perspective of cost, practicality, and versatility.
[08:44] Elec
Very well!
[08:46] Elec
This is the clothing that
meets your conditions.
[08:50] Machina
Huh?
[08:51] Machina
Huh? A tracksuit?!
[08:53] Machina
No, not a tracksuit...
[08:55] Veltol
It's nice.
[08:56] Machina
Huh?
[08:57] Veltol
The design is simple, yet refined.
[09:00] Veltol
This is the perfect form I've been seeking.
[09:04] Veltol
Well done, Machina.
[09:07] Veltol
Oh! What a wonderful design!
[09:10] Veltol
Is this some kind of crest?
[09:12] Machina
Um, it's an old form of writing once used
by the nation that flourished in these lands.
[09:17] Veltol
Oh?
[09:18] Veltol
Then what does it say?
[09:20] Machina
"Demon Lord."
[09:24] Machina
Let's move on to our next stop.
[09:26] Veltol
Wait, Machina.
[09:27] Veltol
You haven't given it any coins yet.
[09:29] Machina
Oh, the automated digital
payment was already made.
[09:33] Veltol
Hm?
[09:36] Veltol
Hey, Machina.
[09:38] Machina
Yes?
[09:39] Veltol
What is the Familia like?
[09:42] Machina
What do you mean?
[09:44] Veltol
Setting Marcus' rebellion aside,
[09:46] Veltol
it's a simple fact that the Familia
itself is a revolutionary device.
[09:51] Veltol
So I'm curious about it.
[09:53] Machina
Well, I would say it's extremely convenient.
[09:57] Machina
There's its original use for magic,
[09:59] Machina
but it can also be used to gather
information, go shopping,
[10:02] Machina
and communicate without the
need to carry anything.
[10:05] Veltol
Hm.
[10:07] Machina
There used to be a portable device that
performed most of the same functions,
[10:12] Machina
but needing to physically hold it
limited its convenience.
[10:17] Veltol
Let me touch it.
[10:20] Machina
Wh-Wh-Wh-What?!
[10:22] Veltol
Don't move.
[10:23] Machina
Yes!
[10:25] Machina
He's doing this so brazenly in public...
[10:28] Machina
But Lord Veltol's orders are absolute.
[10:31] Machina
I have no choice!
[10:33] Machina
I have no reason to refuse, either!
[10:36] Elec
Abnormally elevated heart rate
and blood pressure detected.
[10:40] Elec
Promptly seek—
[10:40] Machina
Shut up!
[10:42] Veltol
I'm done.
[10:43] Machina
Huh?
[10:44] Machina
Oh, yes.
[10:46] Machina
You just wanted to inspect
the Familia, right?
[10:49] Machina
Right...
[10:51] Veltol
It doesn't get in the way, being
attached to the nape of your neck?
[10:55] Machina
It felt strange at first,
[10:57] Machina
but I've gotten used to it.
[10:58] Veltol
You got used to it, huh?
[11:01] Machina
Yes.
[11:02] Machina
It's difficult to get through
daily life without one of these.
[11:06] Machina
Though...
[11:08] Machina
having one doesn't necessarily
improve your life either.
[11:18] Machina
Lord Veltol?
[11:20] Veltol
I'm going to work.
[11:21] Machina
Huh?
[11:23] Veltol
I said I'm going to work.
[11:26] Machina
You mustn't!
[11:27] Machina
Lord Veltol, there's no need
for you to do such a thing!
[11:31] Veltol
But Machina—
[11:32] Machina
I may be forced to live this way for now,
[11:35] Machina
but I will provide a better life for you.
[11:37] Machina
Uh, um, practically speaking,
I'll pick up more shifts,
[11:42] Machina
take on another
two or three jobs and—
[11:43] Veltol
Machina, listen.
[11:46] Veltol
Times have changed.
[11:48] Veltol
Even I am not omnipotent.
[11:51] Veltol
Perhaps the time has
come for me to change.
[11:54] Veltol
I cannot abide doing nothing
[11:56] Veltol
while you work all by yourself to provide
me with food, clothing, and shelter.
[12:01] Veltol
Without my duties as king to occupy me,
[12:04] Veltol
I must now pursue labor.
[12:10] Veltol
Machina.
[12:13] Veltol
I have not given up on
conquering this world, myself!
[12:19] Veltol
Will you dedicate yourself
to me once more?
[12:24] Machina
As you command.
[12:27] Machina
I, Machina Soleige, shall serve
Your Highness for as long as I live.
[12:34] Machina
I swear it upon my soul.
[12:41] Veltol
That Machina...
[12:43] Veltol
She didn't need to worry that much.
[12:46] (Flashback) Machina
I'll accompany you if
you're looking for a job!
[12:49] (Flashback) Veltol
I thought you had work after this.
[12:52] (Flashback) Machina
I'll call off!
[12:53] (Flashback) Veltol
You will not!
[12:54] (Flashback) Veltol
All right, listen, Machina.
[12:56] (Flashback) Veltol
Listen closely.
[12:57] (Flashback) Veltol
While I find the prospect impossible,
[12:59] (Flashback) Veltol
let's say that I am unable to find work due
to a string of incidental misfortunes.
[13:03] (Flashback) Veltol
If that were to happen,
[13:05] (Flashback) Veltol
then I would be reliant on your income!
[13:09] (Flashback) Machina
Reliant on me?!
[13:11] (Flashback) Veltol
Yes.
[13:12] (Flashback) Veltol
Your earnings are needed, Machina.
[13:14] (Flashback) Orc
What a scumbag.
[13:16] (Flashback) Mother
Hope his dick falls off.
[13:18] (Flashback) Machina
I understand.
[13:20] (Flashback) Machina
Then at least take this.
[13:22] (Flashback) Machina
It's already charged up
with a little money.
[13:25] (Flashback) Machina
If you get hungry,
use this part to pay.
[13:28] (Flashback) Machina
Also, if you have any issues,
then please contact me with this.
[13:32] (Flashback) Machina
It has a tracker,
so I'll race to your side at once.
[13:34] (Flashback) Machina
Also, also, if anyone
suspicious talks to you,
[13:37] (Flashback) Machina
press this a few times
and an alarm will sound.
[13:40] Veltol
I am not a child.
[13:43] Veltol
However, while I said I would work,
[13:46] Veltol
I have absolutely no idea what work
is available, or how to land a job.
[13:51] Veltol
Maybe I should ask Machina.
[13:54] Veltol
No, there's no need.
[13:56] UdonShop
Hey! Welcome!
[13:57] UdonShop
One udon, enjoy.
[14:03] Veltol
It's been an awfully long
time since I felt hunger.
[14:06] Veltol
The decline in my faith must be severe.
[14:12] Veltol
What should I do?
[14:14] Ejyu
Yeah, what's up?
[14:16] Ejyu
Huh?
[14:17] Ejyu
That ain't it.
[14:18] Ejyu
I left Bunny Bones in charge of that.
[14:21] Vagabond
Hey mister, could you spare some change?
[14:21] Ejyu
Yeah. Yeah. Counting on you.
[14:24] Ejyu
-Make sure you be careful, okay?
[14:24] Vagabond
Something to eat would be nice, too.
SIGN I lost my leg in the war.
Please spare some change.
[14:28] Veltol
I guess some people can't be picky.
[14:36] Veltol
Does anyone have a job for me?!
[14:39] Veltol
I have no money!
[14:41] Veltol
So I'm looking for work right now!
[14:44] Veltol
I can't guarantee my capability,
[14:46] Veltol
but I'm willing to do anything!
[14:47] Veltol
Please give me work!
[14:48] Ejyu
Hey, hey, hey! What do
you think you're doing?!
[14:52] Veltol
I'm looking for work.
[14:53] Ejyu
Then go to the Commercial Guild.
[14:56] Ejyu
You have your citizen ID, right?
[14:58] Veltol
Citizen ID?
[15:01] Ejyu
An illegal immigrant, huh?
[15:03] Ejyu
This here's our turf, so you
can't be doing this here.
[15:07] Veltol
Well, I've done you a disservice then.
[15:09] Veltol
Sorry for interfering.
[15:10] Ejyu
Hold on, man.
[15:11] Ejyu
Here.
[15:13] Veltol
What's this?
[15:14] Ejyu
It's a resume.
[15:16] Ejyu
You write your work history on this and
bring it with you to the Commercial Guild.
[15:20] Ejyu
Can't guarantee it'll land you a job,
[15:23] Ejyu
but having it's better than nothing.
[15:26] Ejyu
Right, the Commercial Guild is on the fourth
floor of that building with the Kaneyasu sign.
[15:31] Ejyu
Also, stay away from any
company under IHMI...
[15:35] Ejyu
Especially ones related to construction.
[15:37] Veltol
Why's that?
[15:39] Ejyu
Because I never hear
anything good about them.
[15:41] Ejyu
Just call it an old man's concern.
[15:43] Veltol
I appreciate the warning.
SIGN Job Placement Desk
[15:47] Interviewer
Uh, Mister Veltol...
[15:49] Veltol
What? Ask me anything. I'll allow it.
[15:53] Interviewer
Uh, you've listed "Dell Stella"
as one of your unique skills.
[15:56] Veltol
Yes. Dell Stella.
[15:58] Interviewer
What exactly is "Dell Stella"?
[16:00] Veltol
A spell.
[16:01] Veltol
It's capable of annihilating an enemy's
forces in an instant over a wide range.
[16:08] Interviewer
...I see.
[16:10] Interviewer
You've also listed military tactics
and strategic command.
[16:14] Veltol
Yes!
[16:15] Veltol
I excel at leading large armies.
[16:18] Veltol
I'm proud to say that none
can match my skill
[16:20] Veltol
when it comes to achieving
strategic objectives.
[16:23] Veltol
The Battle of Orbeall in 723
of the Continental Era
[16:29] Veltol
is but one small example of my
many glorious achievements.
[16:32] Interviewer
Orbe-what?
[16:34] Veltol
The Battle of Orbeall.
Do you not know about it?
[16:36] Interviewer
I apologize for my lack of study.
[16:40] Interviewer
So under your accomplishments,
[16:42] Interviewer
you listed "the construction of
the Vaunheig Sanctuary Dungeon."
[16:45] Veltol
Yes.
[16:46] Veltol
That dungeon is one of the
top two that I've created.
[16:50] Interviewer
Uh, under your career history,
you listed kingdom management?
[16:54] Veltol
Yes.
[16:55] Veltol
I was the ruler of a nation
for roughly a thousand years.
[16:58] Veltol
We dealt with many wars
due to political unrest,
[17:00] Veltol
but I received reports that my
subjects fulfilled their duty to be happy.
[17:05] Interviewer
Uh-huh...
[17:06] Interviewer
Your last listed position
was over 500 years ago.
[17:09] Interviewer
Was that an entry error?
[17:11] Veltol
No, it was 500 years ago,
without a doubt.
[17:14] Veltol
However, from my perspective,
not even a single day has passed,
[17:17] Veltol
so you have no need to worry.
[17:19] Interviewer
I understand.
That's all for my questions.
[17:22] Veltol
Good.
[17:24] Interviewer
Mr. Veltol...
[17:26] Veltol
Hm?
[17:27] Interviewer
I'm sorry to inform you of this,
but we have no work we can offer you.
[17:33] Veltol
Why not?
[17:34] Interviewer
That's the decision we reached after careful
consideration of your resume and this interview.
[17:40] Interviewer
Furthermore, our company doesn't offer
work to anyone without a Familia implant.
[17:46] Interviewer
Please show yourself out.
[17:48] Veltol
Hey, Machina...
[17:50] Machina
What is it?
[17:52] Veltol
Hypothetically speaking...
[17:54] Veltol
No. I'm certain there's not even
the slightest chance it's true,
[17:59] Veltol
but would you confirm
something for me?
[18:02] Veltol
Am I utterly incapable
of anything in this era?
[18:05] Veltol
I'm losing all confidence.
[18:07] Machina
Please don't get so depressed.
[18:10] Machina
Those puny, foolish mortals
[18:12] Machina
are simply incapable of measuring
your greatness, Lord Veltol.
[18:16] Machina
You are someone who
stands above all others.
[18:20] Machina
You should just sit back and wait.
[18:23] Veltol
I can't do that.
[18:25] Veltol
Hey, Machina, do you know anyone in
this world who could offer advice?
[18:30] Machina
I suppose you could say
there is one person.
[18:33] Veltol
Oh? You have a friend in the current era?
[18:36] Veltol
I'm relieved to hear it.
[18:37] Machina
I guess you could call her a friend.
[18:39] Machina
We just go shopping, eat, fool around,
and sleep over on occasion.
[18:46] Veltol
What is that if not a friend?
[18:49] Machina
Some would argue that.
[18:51] Machina
I asked her to meet us at a nearby café.
[18:53] Machina
She said she's on her way now.
[18:56] Takahashi
Hello, hello! Sorry I'm late!
[19:02] Takahashi
Ah, you're that guy.
[19:04] Veltol
We meet again.
[19:05] Machina
You two know each other?
[19:07] Veltol
Yes.
[19:08] Takahashi
Uh-huh, he was hitting on me.
[19:10] Takahashi
I'm such a sinful woman.
[19:13] Machina
Yeah, yeah, good for you.
[19:16] Takahashi
Jeez, you're no fun.
[19:18] Takahashi
You could at least play along a little.
[19:20] Machina
There'd be no end to it if I started that.
[19:23] Takahashi
I'm Takahashi.
[19:25] Takahashi
Nice to meet you.
[19:26] Veltol
Veltol.
[19:28] Takahashi
So you were serious about
the whole Demon Lord thing?
[19:30] Takahashi
Machina always happily
rambled on about how,
[19:33] Takahashi
"Lord Veltol will be
resurrected soon!"
[19:36] Takahashi
But I didn't expect it
to actually be true.
[19:39] Machina
Hey, Takahashi!
You're being disrespectful!
[19:41] Veltol
No, it's fine.
[19:42] Veltol
Right now, I'm the one
asking Takahashi for assistance.
[19:45] Veltol
It's a pleasure to meet you.
[19:47] Takahashi
Well, you're a friend of a friend,
so now you're my friend, too!
[19:52] Takahashi
Nice meeting ya, Velly.
[19:53] Machina
Takahashi!
[19:57] Veltol
How did the two of you
become acquainted?
[19:59] Takahashi
Oh, we first met on an otome doujin
site for Demon Lord stuff...
[20:06] Veltol
Doujin?
[20:07] Takahashi
Sorry, forget it.
[20:08] Takahashi
Uh, well, we met in an avatar
chatroom for creative fiction.
[20:13] Takahashi
From there—
[20:15] Veltol
Pardon me.
[20:16] Takahashi
Hey, Velly?!
[20:18] Takahashi
What are you doing?!
[20:19] Takahashi
Hey, Machina?! What's going on here?!
[20:20] Machina
He did that to me first!
[20:23] Takahashi
That's not what I mean, dumy!
[20:24] Takahashi
You dumy!
[20:25] Takahashi
Set those thoughts aside for now!
[20:28] Veltol
My apologies for startling you.
[20:30] Veltol
I noticed your Familia is
different than Machina's.
[20:33] Veltol
So I was looking into how it's
built and how it functions.
[20:36] Takahashi
You can do that?
[20:38] Machina
Lord Veltol just used his Sage Eyes ability.
[20:41] Machina
It allows him to use the flow of mana
[20:44] Machina
to understand the composition
of any object he touches.
[20:46] Takahashi
So that's how you were able to
detect my hacking the other day.
[20:50] Veltol
I have a general idea of what's
going on inside the Familia.
[20:54] Veltol
Though there's still much
I can't fully analyze.
[20:57] Machina
Lord Veltol, we should
broach our principal topic.
[21:00] Veltol
Yes.
[21:01] Machina
Takahashi, Lord Veltol was hoping that
you could introduce him to some work.
[21:06] Takahashi
Why not go to the Commercial Guild?
[21:08] Veltol
I did earlier, but they rejected
me for not possessing a Familia.
[21:12] Takahashi
You don't have a Familia, Velly?!
[21:14] Veltol
For a number of reasons,
I can't get one implanted.
[21:17] Takahashi
That's awful.
[21:19] Veltol
I'd like to get your advice.
[21:21] Takahashi
Anything you want out of the job?
[21:23] Veltol
If it's possible,
[21:24] Veltol
I'd prefer something that makes my
existence known throughout the world.
[21:28] Takahashi
Work that the Demon Lord from 500 years
ago could do in the modern era...
[21:32] Takahashi
His priority is raising his renown...
[21:35] Takahashi
But he can't use a Familia...
[21:37] Takahashi
His distinct behavior and manner of speech
quickly establishes his character...
[21:40] Vtuber
Hello! It's Yassan with the stuffy nose!
[21:41] Takahashi
Plus he's a hottie with a sexy voice...
[21:45] Vtuber
It's weird.
[21:47] Vtuber
Why do I still have such a stuffy nose?
[21:50] Veltol
Good evemortal! How's the pain of
life treating you mortals today?
[21:58] Veltol
It is I, the Demon Lord
Veltol Velvet Velsvalt!

[00:00] Vtuber
Why is my nose still so stuffed up?
[00:01] Veltol
A live streamer?
[00:03] Takahashi
Yup. They broadcast themselves
playing games, chatting, singing, and such.
[00:08] Takahashi
They make their living off the ad revenue
and donations they receive.
[00:13] Takahashi
Once they get famous,
some even get celebrity gigs.
[00:17] Veltol
Is that something I can do
even if I don't understand it?
[00:19] Takahashi
It's easy peasy.
[00:21] Takahashi
The equipment will be a little old,
[00:23] Takahashi
but I can give you what I used to use,
[00:26] Takahashi
and once you hit your stride,
you can buy better stuff.
[00:29] Machina
You cannot!
[00:31] Takahashi
Machina?
[00:32] Machina
I cannot allow Lord Veltol to work
such an unstable and risky job.
[00:35] Machina
That hardly counts as a career!
[00:38] Machina
Lord Veltol should be working
a reliable, stable job!
[00:42] Takahashi
Huh?! Come on, Machina.
You're too old-fashioned.
[00:46] Takahashi
Velly has a great voice and
great looks, plus his aura,
[00:50] Takahashi
so I think he's definitely
gonna be a star!
[00:53] Machina
W-Well, I can't deny those
talents, but still...
[00:59] Takahashi
Even if he can't play the current
trending games that use a Familia,
[01:03] Takahashi
he can manage with older games,
[01:05] Takahashi
and more importantly, live streaming is
one of the pleasures of net culture!
[01:10] Takahashi
Entertaining others is a respectable job!
[01:14] Machina
Hm...
[01:16] Machina
What do you think, Lord Veltol?
[01:21] Veltol
It's plain to see that
my options are limited.
[01:25] Veltol
Let's go with Takahashi's idea.
[01:27] Takahashi
Mhmm!
[01:28] Machina
If you're sure, Lord Veltol.
[03:09] Veltol
The Aether Network.
[03:12] Veltol
It was something that allowed all people
[03:15] Veltol
to transmit their opinions
regardless of time or location.
[03:18] Veltol
Its ability to spread information
and the speed of its dissemination
[03:21] Veltol
are on a whole different
level than when I was alive.
[03:25] Veltol
Though, it's practically impossible
for every individual to filter out
[03:27] Veltol
what's correct from the vast flood
of information being shared.
[03:31] Veltol
Naturally, that means they get swept
up into the group consciousness
[03:34] Veltol
and lose their independence.
[03:36] Veltol
Under the name of freedom, their shared
consciousness is tainted with sloth and malice,
[03:41] Veltol
driving it all further to rock bottom.
[03:44] Veltol
In other words, this world can easily be
swayed toward what's convenient for me.
[04:02] Machina
My apologies.
[04:03] Veltol
What's that?
[04:05] Machina
This posture was the
greatest display of apology
[04:07] Machina
in the nation that used to
flourish in these lands.
[04:10] Veltol
Oh? How refined.
[04:14] Machina
I've been living on my own for so
long, I did it out of habit...
[04:19] Machina
I'm sorry for such an unsightly display.
[04:21] Veltol
It's fine.
[04:23] Veltol
That side of you is part
of your charm as well.
[04:26] Veltol
Besides, it was far from unsightly.
[04:31] Veltol
You had a wonderful, toned body.
[04:35] Veltol
It was truly befitting one
of my Six Dark Peers.
[04:38] Veltol
Even if my own is better!
[04:42] Machina
Thank you.
[04:49] Takahashi
Dan-da-da-dan!
[04:52] Takahashi
That should do it!
[04:54] Machina
Honestly, I'm still concerned.
[04:56] Machina
It's not that easy to earn
income from streaming, right?
[05:01] Takahashi
Machina, we're besties, right?
[05:04] Takahashi
Maybe you should have
a little more faith in me.
[05:07] Takahashi
I've already thought about how to sell him.
[05:10] Takahashi
Now, let's give it a go for now.
[05:13] Takahashi
So the way this works—
[05:15] Veltol
Unnecessary.
[05:16] Takahashi
Oh?
[05:22] Takahashi
Whoa. Is that due to those Sage whatsits?
[05:26] Veltol
This was much easier to
analyze than a Familia.
[05:30] Veltol
I guess I'll play this one.
[05:33] Takahashi
BS, huh?
[05:35] Takahashi
A lot of people got stuck
because it's too difficult.
[05:38] Takahashi
Though...
[05:40] Takahashi
With your analysis ability, I bet
you'll breeze right through it.
[05:49] Takahashi
Hm?
[05:51] Veltol
Hm, this one's quite challenging.
[06:09] Takahashi
You suck.
[06:10] Machina
Takahashi!
[06:11] Veltol
It's fine.
[06:12] Veltol
I just can't seem to get
used to these magimachines.
[06:15] Takahashi
You can use them,
but you can't master them?
[06:18] Veltol
Yes.
[06:20] Machina
Our prospects are suddenly
looking grim, aren't they?
[06:23] Takahashi
It's actually a good thing.
[06:25] Machina
Huh?
[06:25] Takahashi
I think people are gonna love the gap
[06:27] Takahashi
between his pretty looks,
charming voice, and noob skills.
[06:30] Machina
Noob skills?
[06:31] Takahashi
Of course, that's not enough on its own.
[06:34] Takahashi
We need to think of his
opening greeting first.
[06:36] Machina
Is that really important?
[06:38] Takahashi
It's so important!
[06:40] Takahashi
Super important!
[06:41] Takahashi
Super-duper important!
[06:43] Machina
Uh-huh...
[06:45] Veltol
Can't I just introduce myself normally?
[06:48] Takahashi
Absolutely not.
[06:50] Takahashi
You're both taking this job too lightly.
[06:52] Takahashi
There are roughly five million streamers
in the world right now,
[06:55] Takahashi
and not even 1% of them earn
enough to live comfortably!
[06:59] Takahashi
Velly.
[07:00] Takahashi
You don't want to live off
Machina's earnings alone, right?
[07:03] Takahashi
Then you have to do it!
[07:04] Takahashi
You need a standard line with
impact for your greeting.
[07:07] Takahashi
You have to try everything you can think of
[07:10] Takahashi
so you can leave an impression
on as many people as possible.
[07:12] Takahashi
Velly, you're about to dive into a
battlefield full of outstanding warriors.
[07:18] Veltol
Do you have any good ideas, Machina?
[07:21] Machina
Well...
[07:24] Machina
Why not adapt one of
your wartime declarations?
[07:27] Veltol
I see.
[07:30] Veltol
Foolish mortals!
[07:33] Veltol
Behold, and tremble in fear!
[07:36] Veltol
I am the Demon Lord,
Veltol Velvet Velsvalt!
[07:40] Veltol
I will give you the greatest
moment of your limited lives!
[07:45] Veltol
For I bring the chaos of war!
[07:51] Takahashi
Hm, I think we're headed in the right direction,
but it doesn't really grab attention.
[07:56] Veltol
Attention, huh?
[07:58] Takahashi
Well, we can think it
over for a while.
[08:01] Takahashi
First, I'll teach you the
basics of streaming.
[08:05] Veltol
Please do.
[08:07] Takahashi
First is most important thing of all,
but also the most difficult,
[08:12] Takahashi
which is to stream every day if at all possible.
[08:15] Takahashi
Also, even if no one is watching
while you're streaming,
[08:18] Takahashi
keep talking about something.
[08:19] Takahashi
Talking about the content
of the game is best,
[08:22] Takahashi
but even off-topic stuff is fine.
[08:24] Takahashi
Anything goes, really.
[08:26] Takahashi
However, anything erotic or
discriminatory will get you flamed,
[08:30] Takahashi
and worst case, your account could get
banned, so be careful about that.
[08:34] Takahashi
Machina, do your utmost to
stay out of the living room
[08:37] Takahashi
so you don't get caught on camera
while Velly's streaming.
[08:40] Takahashi
Don't make any noise walking around.
[08:43] Takahashi
Speaking is out of the question!
[08:46] Takahashi
I'll hit up my connections and
ask them to promote him.
[08:51] Takahashi
I can pay the promotional fees this time.
[08:55] Takahashi
You'll owe me one.
[08:59] Comment
- You suck so hard.
[09:01] Veltol
What a coincidence. I happen to agree.
[09:04] Comment
-What era's this guy from?
[09:04] Comment
-Acting's obvious.
[09:05] Comment
-Nothing you say will get to this guy.
[09:07] Comment
-You won't play any games using a Familia?
[09:08] Comment
-Here's another weirdo.
[09:08] Veltol
I see you're all enjoying yourselves today.
[09:09] Comment
-Get a clue, he's broke, duh.
[09:09] Comment
-Haters gtfo
[09:11] Comment
-Someone's jealous of the hottie.
[09:11] Comment
-Gotta be a shop. Bet he's ugly.
[09:11] Veltol
Keep sharing your opinions like that!
[09:12] Comment
-Veltol, don't pay them any mind.
[09:13] Comment
-Reported.
[09:16] Takahashi
Why are you baiting the trolls?
[09:18] Veltol
Because in my case,
[09:19] Veltol
I gain the power of faith from both
positive and negative emotions.
[09:24] Veltol
Making them heighten each other's
emotions is very effective.
[09:28] Takahashi
That's pretty sneaky for a demon lord.
[09:33] Machina
Still, I can't bear to see them
behaving so rudely toward him.
[09:38] Veltol
Anyone watching my stream is
a viewer like any other.
[09:45] Takahashi
How open-minded.
SIGN Demon Lord
[09:58] Veltol
Good evemortal! How's the pain of
life treating you mortals today?
[10:03] Veltol
It is I, the Demon Lord
Veltol Velvet Velsvalt!
[10:10] Veltol
Now then...
[10:14] Veltol
Today, we're continuing Bloody Spirit 3.
[10:17] Veltol
I believe this will be the
last time for this one.
[10:19] Veltol
I'm not sure.
[10:20] Veltol
It's proven to be a rather formidable game.
[10:23] Veltol
I plan to stay sharp until the very end,
[10:25] Veltol
so join me on this quest!
[10:39] Veltol
AW YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
[10:43] Comments
-Congrats!
[10:43] Comments
-STFU
[10:44] Comments
-That's our Lord Vel.
[10:44] Veltol
Phew.
[10:45] Veltol
This one proved plenty intense.
[10:46] Comments
-His face, voice, and endurance are S-tier.
[10:46] Comments
-BS taught this man feels.
[10:46] Comments
-I beat it first run.
[10:49] Veltol
I thought I had improved after 1 and 2,
[10:54] Veltol
but my pride was shattered following
my repeated fatalities at the start.
[10:58] Veltol
"I definitely thought he was done."
[11:00] Veltol
That's impossible for me.
[11:03] Veltol
"He looks cool even when pissed."
[11:06] Veltol
Were I truly enraged,
[11:08] Veltol
the aether would scream,
[11:09] Veltol
the earth would tremble,
[11:10] Veltol
and the world would end.
[11:12] Veltol
So I wasn't enraged!
[11:15] Comment
-He was pissed.
[11:15] Comment
-Def pissed.
[11:16] Comment
-Lord Vel, that's...
[11:16] Comment
-He's funny when he's mad.
[11:17] Comment
-No, he's not.
[11:18] Veltol
Now then, that brings us the end tonight.
[11:23] Veltol
Don't forget to like and subscribe!
[11:26] Veltol
Your offerings to me have piled up as well.
[11:29] Veltol
I'll send my personalized
thanks at a later date.
[11:32] Veltol
So sit back and wait for it.
[11:33] Veltol
Now then, may all you fools
enjoy the peace of death!
SIGN Demon Lord
[11:41] Veltol
Phew.
[11:49] Veltol
I'm heading out.
[11:50] Machina
If you have a package,
I can go pick it up for you.
[11:54] Veltol
I've been wanting to move around a bit.
[11:57] Machina
Then I'll make dinner and
have it waiting for you.
[12:04] Veltol
There's hardly any glamour to this area.
[12:07] Veltol
Just the embodiments of
the distortions and strain
[12:11] Veltol
in Shinjuku City's social structure...
[12:22] Veltol
Gram?
[12:38] (Flashback) Milina
Thank you, Brother.
[12:41] (Flashback) Gram
Just wait, Milina.
[12:43] (Flashback) Gram
I'll be right back with the medicinal herbs.
[12:45] (Flashback) Milina
Yeah.
[12:50] (Flashback) Father
Monsters have been more active
in the area recently.
[12:53] (Flashback) Father
Take this with you.
[12:55] (Flashback) Mother
Be careful.
[12:57] (Flashback) Mother
Goddess Meldia, please protect this child.
[13:02] (Flashback) Gram
Thank you.
[13:03] (Flashback) Gram
I'll be heading out now.
[13:14] (Flashback) Gram
This should be enough.
[13:24] (Flashback) Gram
Lizardmen?
[13:26] (Flashback) Gram
The army of Zenol,
one of the Six Dark Peers?
[13:29] (Flashback) Gram
What are they doing in a
remote place like this?
[13:48] Veltol
Machina showed me around and
introduced me to several udon places,
[13:51] Veltol
but this one is especially
good, so rest assured.
[13:54] Veltol
It has my seal of approval.
[13:56] Gram
I see.
[14:00] Veltol
Still, the food has grown many degrees
better than it was during the age I remember.
[14:05] Gram
Yeah.
[14:18] Owner
Here you go.
[14:20] Owner
Two kitsune udon.
[14:21] Owner
Enjoy.
[14:29] Gram
This feels weird.
[14:32] Gram
I can't believe I'm slurping down
udon while sitting next to the enemy
[14:38] Gram
who killed my parents,
my little sister, and my friends.
[14:43] Veltol
I feel the same.
[14:45] Veltol
You've eliminated many of my vassals.
[14:49] Veltol
Though right now, I don't feel
any rage or hatred toward you.
[14:53] Veltol
I'm more curious about why you're here.
[14:57] Veltol
No, why is a mortal like you alive?
[15:01] Veltol
You've become an immortal, haven't you?
[15:05] Veltol
When you defeated me, you told me
[15:09] Veltol
that life glimmers because you struggle
to make the most of your limited lives.
[15:15] Veltol
So why? Why have you of all people...
[15:19] Gram
That's not quite it.
[15:23] Gram
I haven't become an immortal.
[15:26] Gram
As a reward for defeating you,
[15:28] Gram
Goddess Meldia gifted me with
the blessing of eternal youth.
[15:34] Gram
Eternal youth isn't
equivalent to immortality.
[15:37] Veltol
Meldia, huh?
[15:39] Veltol
Sounds like she was awfully fond of you.
[15:43] Veltol
Given how much she hates old age,
[15:45] Veltol
I can understand her committing such folly.
[15:48] Gram
Soon after the Immortal War ended,
[15:50] Gram
war broke out amongst the mortals.
[15:54] Gram
I was sent to the battlefield once again,
[15:56] Gram
and cut down so many of the mortals
I thought I had saved from you all.
[16:00] Gram
Ridiculous, isn't it?
[16:03] Gram
Once order returned to our world,
[16:05] Gram
then the existence of the Hero,
of me, became the next obstacle.
[16:10] Velto
Naturally. People fear and ostracize
those with great individual power.
[16:16] Gram
I was exiled from my country,
and I've wandered the world,
[16:19] Gram
then the Fantasion, the City Wars,
the Immortal Hunts...
[16:26] Gram
I've killed far too many.
Both immortals and mortals.
[16:30] Gram
There's no place for me in a
world that doesn't need a Hero.
[16:35] Gram
The Hero no longer exists.
[16:39] Gram
Veltol.
[16:41] Gram
Why did you seek to rule the world?
[16:47] Veltol
For world peace.
[16:51] Gram
World peace?
[16:53] Veltol
There are various factors
that can make one an immortal.
[16:56] Veltol
Phoenixes, diseases, curses,
the pursuit of magic, divine punishment...
[17:02] Veltol
Aside from a few rare exceptions,
[17:04] Veltol
generally every immortal used
to be mortal at one point.
[17:08] Veltol
People used to call us
things like darklings,
[17:12] Veltol
but we're the same at heart.
[17:14] Veltol
However, mortals feared, envied,
and persecuted us immortals.
[17:18] Gram
Immortals also looked down on mortals,
despised us, and attacked us.
[17:23] Veltol
That's right.
[17:24] Veltol
Both immortals and mortals are weaklings
who seek to reject, ostracize, and eliminate
[17:29] Veltol
those who are different,
those who they cannot understand.
[17:33] Veltol
That remains true even in this world,
[17:36] Veltol
because that's the nature
of all living beings.
[17:39] Gram
That's not... true.
[17:41] Gram
That's not how it is...
not how it's supposed to be.
[17:44] Veltol
Someone strong, like me,
has to stand at the top and rule
[17:47] Veltol
to prevent such conflict between the weak.
[17:50] Veltol
That is the world peace I desire.
[17:54] Gram
Peace through domination isn't...
[17:56] Veltol
You know you can't deny it.
[17:58] Veltol
Not after experiencing the betrayal and
ostracization of the weak for yourself.
[18:05] Gram
Even so...
[18:06] Gram
Even so, I...
[18:11] Veltol
It seems you and I shall never agree.
[18:14] Gram
We've known that for over 500 years.
[18:19] Gram
Thank you for the udon.
[18:21] Gram
It was delicious.
[18:22] Gram
Also, I'm glad I got to talk to you.
[18:26] Veltol
Sure.
[18:31] Veltol
The Hero no longer exists, huh?
[18:35] Veltol
You imbecile.
[18:38] Veltol
My existence is proof
of your own, after all.
[18:46] Takahashi
That's not what we agreed on!
[18:48] Ogre
If we're going up against the yakuza,
[18:51] Ogre
then I need to be paid
double the current rate.
[18:53] Takahashi
What, are you scared of them?
[18:56] Ogre
You don't like it, then ask someone else.
[18:59] Ogre
Assuming there even is anyone else,
[19:02] Ogre
Bunny Bones.
[19:05] Takahashi
Damn ogre!
[19:07] Takahashi
You'd better watch your damn step!
[19:09] Takahashi
Sounds like it's true you've got
tiny brains in those big bodies!
[19:14] Takahashi
Stupid coward with no balls!
[19:17] Ogre
Damn hairless ape.
[19:19] Ogre
Keep acting up and you're
in for a world of pain.
[19:23] Ogre
Huh?!
[19:24] Takahashi
Huh? Velly?!
[19:26] Ogre
Who the hell are you?
[19:28] Veltol
Step away from her,
[19:30] Veltol
and I'll overlook your disrespect this time.
[19:33] Ogre
Well, if it isn't the shrimp
I beat up the other day.
[19:36] Ogre
Look at you trying to act
cool in front of a lady.
[19:40] Ogre
Fine, I'll kill you this time.
[19:43] Takahashi
Velly, run!
[19:45] Veltol
Fret not.
[19:46] Veltol
This is the prefect chance to test how much
power I've regained from my million subscribers.
[19:52] Ogre
Get crushed!
[19:57] Ogre
Wind Blast!
[20:10] Veltol
Hmph.
[20:11] Veltol
He was lacking as an opponent.
[20:14] Takahashi
Velly! Are you okay?!
[20:16] Veltol
I'm fine, as you can see.
[20:17] Veltol
Are you all right, Takahashi?
[20:20] Takahashi
I'm fine. Thank you.
[20:23] Veltol
Good.
[20:24] Veltol
By the way, who was he?
[20:26] Takahashi
Oh, he's supposed to be my bodyguard.
[20:31] Takahashi
Though he was trying to sabotage
me on the day of the gig.
[20:34] Takahashi
Seriously, the worst!
[20:36] Veltol
He was your bodyguard?
[20:38] Veltol
I'm sorry, I didn't know.
[20:40] Takahashi
It's all right.
[20:42] Takahashi
I've just found an even better bodyguard.
[20:46] Veltol
Me?
[20:46] Takahashi
Yeah.
[20:47] Takahashi
I'll even pay you for it, too!
[20:50] Takahashi
Please?
[20:54] Marcus
How are things going with the rat
sniffing around about the Furnace?
[20:57] Kinohara
We completed the purge yesterday.
[21:00] Marcus
Very good.
[21:01] Kinohara
Also, our scheme is progressing
smoothly on that other matter.
[21:06] Kinohara
I anticipate we'll be able
to cause halation soon,
[21:09] Kinohara
so once it's ready,
I shall head there personally.
[21:12] Marcus
I'll go as well.
[21:14] Kinohara
You will, Director?
[21:17] Marcus
Well,
[21:19] Marcus
it's just a whim.
[21:23] Veltol
So, what is this job you're doing?
[21:27] Takahashi
Thievery.
[21:28] Veltol
Oh?
[21:29] Veltol
Meaning I should draw their attention
so you can safely steal from them?
[21:34] Takahashi
I'm so glad you're quick on the uptake.
[21:37] Veltol
You're certain the target
is within that storehouse?
[21:41] Takahashi
Yeah, I'll check what it's like
inside first, so Velly—
[21:46] Takahashi
Huh?!
[22:02] Veltol
Pardon me.

[01:32] Veltol
Pardon me.
[01:33] Yakuza
He from your family?!
[01:34] Veltol
Takahashi, is it safe to assume that
small box is the item we're stealing?
[01:35] Yakuza
You sure he's not one of yours?!
[01:37] Yakuza
No! I don't know him!
[01:39] Yakuza
No way! For starters,
this is a secret exchange
[01:39] Takahashi
Hm, yeah. That cube's it...
[01:42] Yakuza
only a handful of guys from
each family know about!
[01:44] Takahashi
Wait, huh?!
[01:45] Yakuza
Did you set us all up for a trap?!
[01:46] Takahashi
Velly, I thought you didn't have a Familia.
[01:47] Yakuza
How many times do
I gotta say he ain't with us?!
[01:49] Veltol
I just reproduced the Familia's
aether communications using magic.
[01:51] Yakuza
Then who is this guy?!
[01:52] Yakuza
Hell if I know!
[01:54] Veltol
There aren't many enemies here.
[01:56] Veltol
I'll subdue them and take it.
[01:58] Takahashi
Don't kill them, okay?
[02:00] Veltol
I know.
[02:02] Veltol
I'll show them the power of a
million subscribers' faith!
[02:08] Boss
Hey! Who the hell are you?!
[02:13] Veltol
Good evemortal! Hello!
[02:16] Veltol
It is I, the Demon Lord
Veltol Velvet Velsvalt!
[02:24] Veltol
Hm, not a single spark of recognition...
[02:26] Veltol
I must work harder.
[02:28] Yakuza
Hey, you makin' fun of us?!
[02:31] Veltol
Well, I think I'll use you to test
how much my faith has recovered.
[02:37] Veltol
You'll at least provide a
good warm-up for me, yes?
[02:39] Yakuza
What the hell are you on about,
you crazy long-haired bitch?!
[02:42] Yakuza
You lost all your damn marbles?!
[02:45] Veltol
Hah, such low-level insults
[02:48] Veltol
are nothing compared to the
comments from my obsessive haters.
[02:50] Beastman
Quit your damn yapping!
[02:53] Veltol
Vestum!
[03:00] Beastman
Impossible!
[03:02] Veltol
Done already?
[03:04] Veltol
Then now it's my turn.
[03:10] Beastman
You bastard!
[03:16] Veltol
Pathetic.
[03:18] Veltol
The mobs in the prologue of BS
presented me with a far greater challenge.
[03:22] Boss
Shut up!
[03:23] Boss
Now die!
[03:24] Takahashi
Now look over there!
[03:29] Boss
H-Huh? Why?
[03:37] Veltol
It's over, Takahashi.
[03:39] Takahashi
D-Damn...
[03:41] Takahashi
You're a real demon lord, aren't you?
[03:44] Takahashi
Taking out yakuza bare-handed!
[03:47] Veltol
Were you behind him shooting
his ally just now?
[03:51] Takahashi
Yup!
[03:52] Takahashi
That was an aether hack!
[03:53] Takahashi
I hacked into the yakuza's Familia
and overwrote his perception.
[03:59] Veltol
Oh?
[04:00] Takahashi
Well, looks like you didn't need the help.
[04:03] Takahashi
Now!
[04:04] Takahashi
Let's hurry and grab the box!
[04:06] Takahashi
I'm heading your way.
[04:07] Veltol
No, don't come yet.
[04:11] Pilot
Plunder 3 to HQ.
[04:13] Pilot
Enemy assault on point 1908 confirmed.
[04:36] Veltol
Oh?
[04:38] Takahashi
A Magino-Gear?!
[04:39] Takahashi
No way!
[04:41] Takahashi
That's a fourth-generation MG, an Ashed Dawn!
[04:44] Takahashi
No yakuza should have something like that!
[04:46] Takahashi
Those are for the special
forces of the City Guard!!
[04:48] Veltol
It's my first time seeing one in person.
[04:51] Veltol
It's beautiful.
[04:52] Takahashi
This isn't the time for that!
[04:54] Takahashi
Hurry up and run!
[04:55] Takahashi
That's impossible to fight, even for you!
[04:57] Veltol
Sounds like it'll prove an
excellent test of my power, then.
[05:03] Pilot
Plunder 3, Roger.
[05:05] Pilot
Commencing elimination of the target.
[05:34] Veltol
Dell Ray!
[05:40] Veltol
I doubt that will be enough to defeat it.
[05:50] Veltol
At my full power, I would've
easily pierced through that.
[05:55] Veltol
I guess this is the limit of the faith
from a measly million subscribers.
[06:01] Takahashi
You're really working that subscriber count!
[06:03] Veltol
Still, this isn't bad.
[06:05] Veltol
I can have some fun.
[06:08] Veltol
Gradschere.
[06:20] Takahashi
This is seriously bad news, Velly!
[06:22] Veltol
You dare challenge me to close combat?!
[06:25] Veltol
I respect your spirit!
[06:33] Veltol
I wrote this off as mere armor,
[06:35] Veltol
but it's more interesting than I expected!
[06:42] Veltol
Is that all?!
[06:44] Veltol
Show me what you can really do!
[07:01] Veltol
Splendid!
[07:17] Pilot
Elimination of target confirmed.
[07:19] Pilot
Now proceeding to retrieve the objective.
[07:21] Veltol
Hold on.
[07:23] Veltol
This isn't over yet.
[07:25] Pilot
Wha?!
[07:26] Pilot
But your head!
[07:28] Veltol
You've shown considerable skill.
[07:30] Veltol
I take it you've gone through
a great deal of training.
[07:33] Veltol
Though it appears you are
lacking in actual combat experience.
[07:40] Veltol
A word of advice for you.
[07:45] Veltol
"Grip your hilt tighter in
your moment of victory."
[07:49] Veltol
Here's your reward for
scoring a point on me.
[07:54] Veltol
Engrave upon your soul the
sight of my dark sword.
[08:00] Veltol
Rampage in the black sky, Vernal!
[08:10] Veltol
It pains me that I cannot show you
its full capabilities this time,
[08:15] Veltol
but you'll have to settle for the
honor of basking in its glory.
[08:20] Veltol
What's the matter?
[08:22] Veltol
Too scared to move?
[08:25] Pilot
You monster!
[08:46] Veltol
That was quite an enjoyable battle.
[08:50] Veltol
You were simply up against the wrong man.
[08:53] Veltol
Now, it's time for you to talk.
[08:57] Pilot
Plunder 3 to HQ!
[08:59] Pilot
Target is alive. I've failed
to retrieve the objective.
[09:02] Pilot
I am unable to resume combat,
so I shall execute Code 8090.
[09:13] Takahashi
Velly!
[09:16] Veltol
Takahashi, is this what you were after?
[09:18] Takahashi
It is, but...
[09:20] Takahashi
Velly, he cut off your head, didn't he?
[09:23] Veltol
Indeed.
[09:24] Takahashi
Don't "indeed" me!
[09:25] Takahashi
That was really horrifying to watch!
[09:28] Veltol
I'm surprised there are weapons that can
enhance an individual's power that far.
[09:33] Veltol
What a terrifying age we're in.
[09:35] Takahashi
No, no, no!
[09:36] Takahashi
You're the terrifying one here!
[09:38] Takahashi
You just fought a Magino-Gear
alone and rendered it inoperative!
[09:42] Takahashi
Also, wait... This is an IHMI unit.
[09:46] Takahashi
There's no way yakuza could
get their hands on this,
[09:49] Takahashi
so this deal might have been...
[09:52] Takahashi
This is getting crazy shady, isn't it?
[09:54] Takahashi
This job might have been
even riskier than I thought!
[09:58] Veltol
More importantly...
[09:59] Takahashi
Don't just brush it off like that!
[10:02] Veltol
What is this thing?
[10:07] Takahashi
It's a data storage device
made from mithril.
[10:10] Takahashi
My client wanted the files inside of this.
[10:14] Takahashi
Which means it's time for
us to take a look.
[10:17] Veltol
Are you sure?
[10:18] Takahashi
It's fine, fine.
[10:19] Takahashi
You're curious too, right?
[10:21] Takahashi
My client already assumes I'm
gonna have a peek, anyway!
[10:33] Veltol
A blank page?
[10:47] Takahashi
A candidate list?
[10:50] Veltol
These are... immortals.
[10:53] Veltol
They're my subjects.
[10:55] Takahashi
They're all immortals?
[10:56] Veltol
Yeah.
[10:59] Takahashi
Machina's name...
[11:02] Takahashi
isn't here.
[11:04] Veltol
Good.
[11:06] Takahashi
I'm going to ask my client
what's going on here.
[11:09] Takahashi
Gimme a sec!
[11:11] Takahashi
Hm, not good. I can't reach him.
[11:15] Takahashi
He doesn't accept calls
from others very often,
[11:18] Takahashi
so it looks like we'll have to go in person.
[11:20] Veltol
Very well.
[11:22] Veltol
This is no longer a matter
outside of my concern as well.
[11:25] Veltol
If something is happening to the immortals,
[11:29] Veltol
then it is my duty as their king to stop it.
[11:34] Veltol
This is a remarkably
large apartment building.
[11:37] Takahashi
My client lives on the 13th floor.
[11:40] Takahashi
He's famous. Anyone doing this kind of
work here in the city knows his name.
[11:45] Veltol
Famous, huh?
[11:47] Veltol
He should be commended for his wealth.
[12:00] Veltol
Was that hacking, too?
[12:02] Takahashi
Apartment security might as well
not exist when I'm around.
[12:09] Veltol
Takahashi.
[12:10] Takahashi
Hm?
[12:11] Veltol
Let me press the button.
[12:13] Takahashi
Sure, but why?
[12:16] Veltol
I like pushing buttons.
[12:23] Takahashi
A demon lord who likes
pressing elevator buttons, huh...
[12:27] Takahashi
Oh, sorry, sorry, you can't
go directly to 13th floor.
[12:32] Takahashi
You have to press the 2nd floor first,
[12:38] Takahashi
then the 17th floor,
[12:40] Takahashi
then the 4th floor,
[12:42] Takahashi
then the top floor,
[12:44] Takahashi
and finally the 13th floor.
[12:48] Veltol
Why go through all that bother?
[12:50] Takahashi
Well, he probably considers
it added security.
[12:56] Takahashi
Hold on.
[12:57] Takahashi
My client, Ejyu, is a really wary guy.
[13:03] Takahashi
He has traps placed
throughout the entire floor,
[13:06] Takahashi
so if you slip up and step on one,
you'll be Swiss cheese.
[13:09] Veltol
I see.
[13:11] Veltol
Hm?
[13:12] Veltol
No, there are no traps.
[13:13] Takahashi
Huh?
[13:14] Takahashi
Hey! Wait, wait!
[13:17] Veltol
To be precise, both the physical and
magical traps have all been disarmed.
[13:22] Takahashi
You can tell that, too?
[13:25] Veltol
My duties as Demon Lord included the
construction and maintenance of dungeons.
[13:29] Veltol
Discerning the location of
traps is a piece of cake.
[13:37] Takahashi
That's odd. I would expect
him to answer his doorbell.
[13:43] Veltol
It's open.
[13:45] Takahashi
Impossible.
[13:47] Takahashi
Ejyu would never be this careless.
[13:51] Takahashi
Yuck, what is this smell?!
[13:53] Veltol
Something's wrong.
[13:54] Veltol
Let's proceed with caution.
[13:56] Takahashi
Yeah.
[13:59] Takahashi
Looks like no one's home.
[14:01] Takahashi
This way.
[14:09] Takahashi
Oh.
[14:10] Takahashi
Hey, Ejyu, there you are.
[14:13] Takahashi
Are you sleeping?
[14:19] Takahashi
H-He's dead!
[14:22] Veltol
Hm? This face...
[14:25] Takahashi
You recognize him?
[14:26] Veltol
Yes, I saw him once.
[14:28] Veltol
Though he was wearing
shabby garments at the time.
[14:31] Takahashi
Yeah.
[14:33] Takahashi
He liked to disguise himself as a hobo
[14:35] Takahashi
when he was gathering information himself.
[14:37] Veltol
He has been stabbed in the heart
and neck with a blade.
[14:41] Veltol
Judging from the blood
surrounding the wounds,
[14:43] Veltol
it's only been a few days
since he was killed.
[14:45] Takahashi
Huh?
[14:47] Veltol
Still, finding your client dead today...
[14:50] Takahashi
Ejyu did have many enemies.
[14:53] Veltol
No, this was not done out of malice.
[14:56] Veltol
The wounds do not convey any emotion.
[15:00] Veltol
This was a very business-like murder.
[15:02] Takahashi
You mean a hired hitman?
[15:05] Veltol
A thoroughly trained one at that.
[15:08] Takahashi
But maybe someone with a grudge
just sicced an assassin on him.
[15:14] Veltol
Would they have needed to
destroy his Familia as well?
[15:17] Takahashi
Maybe it was just destroyed by coincidence.
[15:19] Veltol
If murder were the only goal,
[15:21] Veltol
then simply destroying the
heart would kill any mortal.
[15:24] Takahashi
You mean the real goal was destroying
the information on his Familia?
[15:28] Takahashi
Do you think this has something
to do with the job I accepted?
[15:32] Veltol
When did you accept the job from this man?
[15:34] Takahashi
One week ago.
[15:35] Veltol
So he was murdered
shortly after hiring you.
[15:38] Veltol
Then I suppose that list is our only lead.
[15:42] Takahashi
No, we might still have another option.
[15:45] Takahashi
Ejyu was a well-known information broker,
[15:48] Takahashi
but he was also a skilled aether hacker.
[15:52] Takahashi
A Familia has to be connected to the net at
all times, so it's not suited to hiding data,
[15:57] Takahashi
and that means he should have saved his
intel on a separate stand-alone storage device.
[16:03] Takahashi
The battery's still charged.
[16:06] Takahashi
Wait, huh?
[16:07] Takahashi
It doesn't need a password to log in?
[16:12] Takahashi
What's this? The files are all broken.
[16:15] Veltol
No, they're not.
[16:17] Takahashi
Huh?
[16:17] Veltol
Look at the arrangement of
the files within the folder.
[16:23] Takahashi
Oh!
[16:23] Takahashi
I get it! A program array, huh!
[16:26] Takahashi
Wow, I'm surprised you figured that out.
[16:28] Takahashi
All right!
[16:31] Takahashi
Bingo!
[16:32] Takahashi
You were right, Velly!
[16:33] Takahashi
Oh, hey, hey, didn't I sound like a
hacker with that "Bingo!" just now?
[16:37] Veltol
I have no idea what a hacker
is supposed to sound like.
[16:41] Veltol
"About the Immortal Furnace Project"?
[16:43] Takahashi
I'm opening it.
[16:47] Ejyu
Hey.
[16:48] Ejyu
If you're watching this video,
[16:51] Ejyu
then it means I'm already dead.
[16:54] Ejyu
Man, I always wanted to
say that at least once.
[16:58] Takahashi
What a dummy.
[16:59] Ejyu
I don't know who might be
watching this, but...
[17:03] Ejyu
I'll cut to the chase.
[17:05] Ejyu
The prosperity of this city rests
on the back of a gruesome evil.
[17:11] Ejyu
The basic infrastructure that
Shinjuku relies on, the aether reactor
[17:16] Ejyu
that provides the energy to support our lives,
is running off the lives of the innocent.
[17:22] Ejyu
An aether reactor
[17:24] Ejyu
draws in aether from the aether
lines running through the ground
[17:29] Ejyu
powered by the core of the planet.
[17:32] Ejyu
It then converts that energy into magic
and electricity which it then distributes.
[17:38] Ejyu
Providing enough electricity for
a city on the scale of Shinjuku
[17:41] Ejyu
requires the reactor to rest atop
roughly 10 overlaid aether lines.
[17:46] Ejyu
However, according to the geological survey
conducted before the first City War,
[17:50] Ejyu
there are only two
overlaid aether lines
[17:53] Ejyu
directly beneath the reactor within
the entire region of Shinjuku City.
[17:58] Ejyu
Now,
[17:59] Ejyu
that begs the question of how Shinjuku is
supplying enough energy with only two lines.
[18:06] Ejyu
As it stands, electricity is guaranteed
anywhere within the cryotolerance zone,
[18:16] Ejyu
so it's natural to assume there
must be another energy source
[18:19] Ejyu
supplementing the insufficient overlay.
[18:23] Ejyu
That's what led to the development
of the Immortal Furnace Project.
[18:28] Ejyu
The furnace burns immortals like firewood.
[18:30] Ejyu
It's a ritual magic device which burns souls
and converts them into aether for the city.
[18:35] Ejyu
Since they're closer to being a higher
spiritual entity, a single immortal's soul
[18:38] Ejyu
can be converted into vastly more aether
than that of tens of thousands of mortals.
[18:43] Ejyu
The more powerful the immortal,
the more energy they can provide.
[18:47] Ejyu
Recovered data shows
[18:49] Ejyu
that they gathered up the
homeless, low-income workers,
[18:52] Ejyu
and people from outside the city to construct it.
[18:56] Ejyu
However, once the furnace was completed,
all the construction workers vanished.
[19:02] Ejyu
They were likely all killed.
[19:06] Ejyu
The people at IHMI
[19:08] Ejyu
treat immortals as magic fuel,
even outright calling them "firewood."
[19:14] Ejyu
According to what I dug up, the first
"firewood" fed to the Furnace
[19:18] Ejyu
was apparently the Karmic Sword Zenol,
one of the Six Dark Peers and an old immortal.
[19:23] Ejyu
The Immortal Hunts conducted
throughout the world
[19:25] Ejyu
were just a good excuse prepared by IHMI
[19:28] Ejyu
to gather up their "firewood."
[19:31] Ejyu
Three months back,
[19:32] Ejyu
I encountered an assassin from IHMI
while I was gathering information,
[19:36] Ejyu
and although I managed to escape,
[19:38] Ejyu
they tightened up their security,
blocking my progress.
[19:42] Ejyu
That's why I hired out a
hacker friend of mine.
[19:46] Ejyu
Fortunately for me,
[19:47] Ejyu
I got intel that the yakuza guild was going
to be selling a list of immortals to IHMI.
[19:53] Ejyu
Must be because they're starting
to run out of usable "firewood"
[19:56] Ejyu
and can see the Immortal
Furnace is on its last legs.
[19:59] Ejyu
Once the Immortal Furnace
runs out of souls to burn,
[20:01] Ejyu
that means it'll also stop
providing aether, naturally.
[20:05] Ejyu
It would be as if the heart of
Shinjuku had stopped beating.
[20:10] Ejyu
Yet even so...
[20:14] Ejyu
I believe that the
Immortal Furnace should not exist.
[20:17] Ejyu
I've organized the data I gathered
and saved it to this PC.
[20:21] Ejyu
It's up to whoever's watching this
to figure out what to do with it.
[20:25] Ejyu
Please forgive me for burdening
you with this choice.
[20:31] Ejyu
Well, the only one who could resolve
such a major problem of our era
[20:35] Ejyu
would probably be the legendary Demon Lord
who reigned high over all immortals long ago.
[20:47] Takahashi
What the hell is this?
[20:50] Takahashi
This is unforgivable.
[20:53] Veltol
Then what will we do?
[20:55] Veltol
Shall we publicize this
information on the net?
[20:58] Takahashi
That's...
[21:00] Veltol
Hypothetically, what would happen
to those living in Shinjuku
[21:03] Veltol
if this information was revealed and
the Immortal Furnace shut down?
[21:08] Veltol
Before you could,
[21:09] Veltol
it's likely you would be murdered like this man,
and all the data would be erased.
[21:16] Veltol
This is a problem for immortals.
[21:18] Veltol
So, as the king of immortals, it is
my duty to do something about it.
[21:23] Veltol
You don't have to think about it.
[21:25] Veltol
I will make all the decisions.
[21:29] Takahashi
Okay.
[21:31] Takahashi
Then...
[21:33] Takahashi
At least let me report the
body to the City Guard.
[21:37] Takahashi
I'd feel bad just leaving him like this.
[21:40] Veltol
That's true.
[21:46] Veltol
I need to inform Machina about this as well.
[21:49] Takahashi
Yeah.
[21:50] Veltol
Machina, do you have a moment?
[21:56] Veltol
Machina?
[21:58] Takahashi
What's the matter?

[01:38] Machina
Hm, maybe I'll make curry today.
[01:46] Elec
I'll display a recipe for curry using
the ingredients you have on hand.
[01:50] Machina
That's lacking in flavor like last time.
[01:53] Machina
Can we tweak it any?
[01:56] Elec
I can't find anything fitting
that criteria at present.
[02:00] Machina
Of course...
[02:02] Elec
There are articles stating that the most
important ingredient when cooking is love.
[02:07] Machina
Love, huh?
[02:12] Machina
Coming.
[02:22] Marcus
Well, hello...
[02:25] Marcus
Machina.
[02:37] Marcus
Attacking me without even a hello?
[02:40] Marcus
You've become awfully violent, haven't you?
[02:43] Marcus
You used to be a bit more modest and demure.
[02:52] Machina
Be quiet.
[02:54] Machina
You came here to destroy me anyway, right?
[02:57] Machina
You deserve death for betraying the
immortals and rebelling against our king!
[03:06] Machina
Dragon Slasher!
[03:14] Marcus
Blood Sword!
[03:17] Machina
Moonlit Blade of Fire!
[03:24] Marcus
Well done, Duchess of the Dazzling Blaze!
[03:26] Marcus
It seems we're evenly matched
in magical warfare.
[03:38] Machina
Burst, Safflower!
[03:50] Marcus
That was a close call.
[03:58] Marcus
Blood Rain!
[04:05] Machina
Flame Shield Blossom!
[04:13] Marcus
Blood to Bomb!
[04:33] Machina
I should have signed up for fire insurance.
[04:37] Machina
I'll be sending the bill to IHMI!
[04:41] Kinohara
Please file your claim
in the director's name.
[04:46] Machina
Flying Haze!
[04:52] Machina
I never expected the Duke of
the Bloody Arts to come alone.
[04:59] Machina
Turn to ash!
[05:01] Marcus
Code Breaker!
[05:04] Machina
What?!
[05:21] Marcus
Good work.
[05:22] Kinohara
Director, please quit playing around.
[05:26] Kinohara
If you had shut down
her Familia from the outset,
[05:29] Kinohara
we could have ensured a more efficient
outcome with reduced collateral damage.
[05:33] Kinohara
I nearly died, you know.
[05:35] Marcus
I'm sorry. I wanted to have a little fun.
[05:40] Machina
Marcus!
[05:46] Marcus
Machina!
[05:49] Marcus
You were never my type,
[05:53] Marcus
but seeing you laid out so pathetically
[05:57] Marcus
is truly...
[05:59] Marcus
great!
[06:02] Machina
What did you do?
[06:06] Marcus
I merely shut down your Familia.
[06:13] Machina
Impossible.
[06:15] Machina
My Familia was in stand-alone mode.
[06:19] Marcus
Aether hacking should be impossible
since it was offline...
[06:23] Marcus
Is that what you're suggesting?
[06:25] Marcus
Though unfortunately for you,
[06:28] Marcus
my Familia is special.
[06:32] Marcus
It's an advanced prototype being developed
by our company, known as the Familia Advance.
[06:39] Marcus
I used this to strike the backdoor in yours.
[06:43] Marcus
All Familia are created with a backdoor
in their base programming, you see.
[06:48] Marcus
As director, they respond
to my vocal commands,
[06:52] Marcus
allowing me to force them to deactivate.
[06:56] Marcus
So no one using a modern
Familia can ever defeat me.
[07:02] Marcus
Though without a Familia, no one
stands a chance against me in the first place.
[07:07] Marcus
Which all means that I—
[07:10] Marcus
I am the most powerful
man in the modern world!
[07:15] Machina
What do you to hope to achieve from this?
[07:19] Marcus
It's all so that I can become
the true Demon Lord.
[07:25] Machina
Huh?
[07:26] Marcus
Trying to rule the world through
force is behind the times.
[07:29] Marcus
In this era of information and technology,
[07:32] Marcus
whoever controls both can rule the world.
[07:36] Marcus
Though that would be boring.
[07:40] Marcus
I need to become an absolute ruler—
[07:43] Marcus
the Demon Lord!
[07:46] Marcus
Not Veltol! Me!
[07:52] Kinohara
Director, it's time.
[07:56] Marcus
Now then, Duchess of the Dazzling Blaze.
[08:01] Marcus
It's time you became a
cornerstone of this city.
[08:16] Takahashi
What's all this?
[08:19] Takahashi
Where's Machina?
[08:23] Veltol
Machina...
[08:26] Veltol
Machina!
[08:51] Takahashi
Velly.
[08:52] Takahashi
Velly, Velly!
[08:54] Takahashi
Velly!
[08:58] Takahashi
Are you okay?
[09:05] Veltol
I'm fine.
[09:07] Veltol
But what exactly happened here?
[09:10] Takahashi
Judging from the rumors on social media,
[09:13] Takahashi
there was a gigantic explosion.
[09:16] Takahashi
The information's all jumbled, so I can't
tell if it was an accident or an incident.
[09:22] Veltol
I wish we at least had a clue
to Machina's whereabouts.
[09:25] Takahashi
Don't worry.
[09:26] Takahashi
Leave that to me.
[09:32] Veltol
A drone, huh?
[09:37] Takahashi
There are very few security
drones here in Outer Shinjuku,
[09:41] Takahashi
but there are plenty of
delivery drones flying around,
[09:44] Takahashi
and those delivery drones
have cameras on them, too.
[09:48] Takahashi
So I'll just be taking a
peek at their data.
[09:52] Takahashi
Now, time to get a bit serious.
[09:58] Takahashi
Activate Laughing Man.
[10:01] Takahashi
Access the system through the
holes in their firewall,
[10:04] Takahashi
spread an infectious virus program into a drone
[10:07] Takahashi
and use it to access the company's server
and harvest the visual data.
[10:13] Takahashi
Exclude any feeds outside the
area around Machina's apartment.
[10:17] Takahashi
Then narrow the time frame down
to within the last three hours.
[10:22] Takahashi
Got it!
[10:29] Veltol
It was an explosion
from magical warfare.
[10:32] Takahashi
Yeah, I'll check the feeds
from before and after.
[10:42] Veltol
Marcus.
[10:43] Takahashi
So he's the one behind it?
[10:45] Takahashi
I can't believe the director came
all the way out here personally.
[10:49] Veltol
It means facing one of the Six Dark Peers
required his personal involvement.
[10:55] Veltol
The other one is that woman from before.
[10:58] Veltol
Can you see the footage from after this?
[10:59] Takahashi
Hold on a sec.
[11:10] Takahashi
They took her into the restricted area
of the aether reactor after that.
[11:16] Takahashi
They really are planning
to use her as firewood.
[11:20] Veltol
Thanks.
[11:21] Veltol
You have my gratitude.
[11:22] Takahashi
Wait.
[11:24] Takahashi
I know you're in a rush,
but you can't handle it alone.
[11:28] Takahashi
The reactor is in the most
heavily guarded area in Shinjuku City.
[11:31] Takahashi
There are several
Magino Gears stationed there.
[11:34] Takahashi
I can only help you navigate,
[11:36] Takahashi
since I'm useless in combat.
[11:38] Takahashi
I don't know anyone whose strength
could measure up to yours either,
[11:41] Takahashi
and you haven't been here
that long either, Velly.
[11:44] Veltol
Someone acquainted with me
[11:47] Veltol
who's a skilled combatant
even in this age...
[11:50] Takahashi
Wh-What do we do?
[11:52] Takahashi
At this rate, Machina's going to...
[11:54] Veltol
No.
[11:57] Veltol
There is someone.
[12:05] Gram
What do you want?
[12:08] Gram
I don't intend to answer any
more of your questions.
[12:12] Veltol
Gram, I'm swallowing my
pride to ask you this.
[12:23] Veltol
Please... help me.
[12:37] Gram
That explains it.
[12:40] Gram
I always felt unpleasant around that thing.
[12:43] Gram
Now the dots have been connected.
[12:45] Veltol
Please, Gram.
[12:48] Veltol
Right now, I lack the power
to save Machina by myself.
[12:54] Veltol
So please,
[12:55] Veltol
lend me your aid.
[13:00] Gram
Veltol.
[13:02] Gram
Darklings murdered my family,
[13:05] Gram
killed my friends,
[13:06] Gram
and slaughtered countless others.
[13:09] Gram
You were once their king,
[13:12] Gram
and now you want my help to
save a single immortal woman?
[13:17] Gram
That's what you're asking of me?
[13:19] Gram
You plunged the whole
world into an absurd war,
[13:23] Gram
and now you expect me to help you
just because you're groveling?
[13:30] Gram
You're the worst.
[13:32] Gram
I refuse to tolerate a society built on
sacrificing others, immortal or not.
[13:39] Gram
However, the aether reactor
is the heart of this city.
[13:43] Gram
If you stop the Immortal Furnace
for your own personal agenda,
[13:46] Gram
then Shinjuku's survival will be in peril.
[13:50] Gram
Are you planning to
wipe out the entire city?
[13:54] Gram
Are you planning to rob everyone
living here of their happiness?
[13:58] Gram
Are you planning to kill everyone
else just to save one person?
[14:06] Gram
Answer me.
[14:08] Gram
Answer me, Veltol.
[14:12] Veltol
Kill everyone else just
to save one person?
[14:18] Veltol
How can a man like yourself
say such a foolish thing?
[14:23] Veltol
Don't misjudge me.
[14:25] Veltol
The answer is obvious.
[14:27] Veltol
I will save Machina
[14:29] Veltol
and resolve this city's problem.
[14:32] Veltol
I will have it all, not just one.
[14:37] Veltol
Because!
[14:39] Veltol
I am the Demon Lord, Veltol Velvet Velsvalt!
[14:44] Veltol
And this entire world is mine to rule!
[14:50] Gram
The Demon Lord...
[14:52] Veltol
But right now, I have no kingdom,
no vassals, no power, nothing.
[14:59] Veltol
Which is why
[15:01] Veltol
I am weak, and all I can do is beg
for aid from you, my former enemy.
[15:07] Veltol
So I'll say it once more!
[15:09] Veltol
Hero Gram!
[15:11] Veltol
Lend me your power!
[15:18] Gram
You would still call me the Hero?
[15:26] Gram
It would seem...
[15:28] Gram
that no matter where I go,
I still long to be the Hero.
[15:33] Gram
Do not get the wrong idea, Demon Lord.
[15:36] Gram
I have no intention of joining you,
[15:40] Gram
and I haven't forgiven you, either.
[15:42] Gram
All I'm doing
[15:44] Gram
is helping you rescue a woman
who's been kidnapped.
[15:49] Gram
When the weak cry out for
salvation, I answer.
[15:53] Gram
No matter how terrifying
[15:54] Gram
or difficult it may be,
[15:56] Gram
I will bravely face that challenge.
[16:01] Gram
Because I am the Hero.
[16:05] Veltol
I never imagined there would come a day when
the Hero and the Demon Lord would join forces.
[16:11] Gram
Nor did I.
[16:16] Takahashi
Velly,
[16:17] Takahashi
I found a route that'll take
us into the reactor's depths
[16:20] Takahashi
without going through the restricted area.
[16:24] Veltol
Can we really reach it
by going through here?
[16:28] Takahashi
Looking over the old IHMI
data Ejyu left behind,
[16:32] Takahashi
I found evidence of them moving large quantities
of essential reactor materials through there.
[16:39] Veltol
Assuming we trust that information,
[16:41] Veltol
how are we supposed to reach
our destination from here?
[16:44] Veltol
I don't believe we have the time
to conquer a whole dungeon.
[16:48] Takahashi
I tried searching,
[16:50] Takahashi
but there weren't any accurate maps.
[16:53] Gram
Conquering a dungeon won't take long at all.
[16:56] Veltol
What?
[16:59] Gram
Auto-Mapping.
[17:03] Veltol
What was that spell?
[17:06] Gram
This.
[17:08] Gram
I scan the dungeon by running mana
through its walls and floors
[17:12] Gram
to generate a map.
[17:14] Gram
It's an original spell
I created while adventuring.
[17:18] Gram
Just a moment, and I'll have
a full overview of the dungeon.
[17:23] Veltol
Before becoming the hero, you were
an adventurer at heart, weren't you?
[17:26] Gram
Huh? What's this all about?
[17:28] Veltol
Have you no pride as an adventurer?
[17:31] Gram
Who needs pride?
[17:34] Gram
It's best to conquer dungeons
as quickly as possible.
[17:38] Veltol
How dare you!
[17:40] Veltol
Have you never stopped to think about
the feelings of the dungeon's creator?!
[17:45] Veltol
Countless details require
our focused attention,
[17:47] Veltol
from the placement of treasure chests
to the location of passages.
[17:50] Gram
Who cares about that?
[17:52] Gram
You've never thought about the feelings of
the adventurers conquering them, either.
[17:57] Gram
We need to constantly keep
a close eye on our food supply,
[18:00] Gram
friction between party members,
and other concerns as we delve deeper.
[18:03] Takahashi
Yeah, yeah, I get that
you two are great pals,
[18:07] Takahashi
so stop playing around and—
[18:07] Veltol
I won't let this stand, Takahashi.
[18:10] Veltol
There will never come a day
[18:12] Veltol
that he and I are "pals."
[18:14] Gram
That's right. Miss Takahashi.
You have the completely wrong idea.
[18:17] Gram
I may be cooperating with him for now,
[18:19] Gram
but we could start trying to
kill each other at any moment.
[18:21] Takahashi
Shut up!
[18:23] Takahashi
I thought we were in a race
against time to save Machina!
[18:28] Takahashi
Am I wrong?!
[18:32] Veltol
You're not wrong.
[18:33] Gram
That's correct.
[18:35] Takahashi
Tsk, are those two going to be okay?
[18:40] Gram
All done.
[18:42] Gram
We can move forward
without getting lost.
[18:44] Veltol
Is that map accurate?
[18:47] Gram
Of course.
[18:49] Gram
From what I can see, I'm not
picking up any enemies or traps.
[18:51] Gram
We should be able to take the
shortest route to our destination.
[18:55] Veltol
I suppose I must set aside
my beliefs for now.
[19:00] Veltol
For Machina's sake.
[19:02] Gram
As long as you understand.
[19:04] Gram
Let's go.
[19:08] Veltol
Takahashi.
[19:09] Takahashi
What?
[19:11] Veltol
Apologies for earlier.
[19:13] Takahashi
Screw around again and
I'll never forgive you.
[19:16] Veltol
I'll keep that in mind.
[19:18] Takahashi
Good.
[19:19] Veltol
Now, have you made progress on
the strategy we discussed?
[19:23] Takahashi
It's coming along.
[19:25] Takahashi
There's a lot to get ready,
so it's taking time.
[19:29] Takahashi
To be honest, I’m not sure I can get it done
fast enough, even if you two are ready.
[19:34] Takahashi
If it comes down to it, I might
have to ask you to buy me more time.
[19:37] Veltol
All right.
[19:38] Takahashi
This is the biggest job
I’ve ever taken on,
[19:41] Takahashi
so even I'm feeling a little tense.
[19:43] Veltol
What happened to the spirit you
had in your earlier scolding?
[19:47] Takahashi
This is something different.
[19:51] Veltol
Takahashi, you are talented.
[19:54] Takahashi
Where's this coming from?
[19:56] Veltol
I'm entrusting this to you.
[19:59] Takahashi
Yeah!
[20:05] Gram
Once we exit this lift, we'll be directly
above the core of the Immortal Furnace.
[20:11] Takahashi
You guys are getting close
to the aether lines,
[20:13] Takahashi
so the aether density... ing interference...
cutting out... keep preparing...
[20:17] Veltol
Takahashi?
[20:24] Gram
You've become stronger.
[20:26] Veltol
I see you've gotten better with sarcasm.
[20:29] Veltol
You know full well that I'm weakened.
[20:32] Gram
I wasn't being sarcastic.
[20:34] Gram
I didn't get to face you
directly very often,
[20:37] Gram
so I won't say I know everything about you,
[20:40] Gram
but in the past you never would
have bowed your head to me
[20:45] Gram
in order to save one of your vassals.
[20:47] Gram
That I'm sure of.
[20:50] Gram
Back then, you were crueler,
[20:52] Gram
more ruthless, and unprincipled.
[20:55] Gram
If my past self were to fight you now,
[20:59] Gram
we might have seen a different outcome.
[21:12] Kinohara
Oh my, you really did come.
[21:24] Gram
Looks like we'll have to
put in a little more work.
[23:17] Marcus
Are you awake?
[23:23] Marcus
Good morning.
[23:27] Machina
Marcus!

[00:05] Marcus
Please, don't glare at me like that.
[00:08] Marcus
I just want to celebrate a reunion...
[00:12] Marcus
with an old friend.
[00:15] Machina
You cretin!
[00:17] Machina
You have no right to call me a friend
after you betrayed our king!
[00:22] Marcus
When Veltol was resurrected, I did
some digging into those around him,
[00:28] Marcus
but I never expected that
you managed to survive.
[00:33] Machina
Where are we?!
[00:35] Marcus
At the heart of Shinjuku City.
[00:38] Marcus
Directly below the aether reactor.
[00:41] Marcus
This ritual magic facility for aether
refinement is known as the Immortal Furnace.
[00:45] Machina
Immortal Furnace?
[00:47] Marcus
That's what we call the program that uses
immortals' souls as fuel to generate aether.
[00:53] Marcus
The aether produced by this Immortal Furnace
is then drawn into the aether reactor
[00:59] Marcus
where it gets converted into the electricity
and magic energy that supplies Shinjuku City.
[01:07] Machina
It uses immortals' souls as fuel?
[01:11] Machina
Then are you telling me that
Ornared and Palmlock—?!
[01:15] Marcus
Those two served as excellent firewood.
[01:19] Marcus
The concern they showed for
each other until the very end
[01:23] Marcus
was a beautiful display of friendship—
[01:25] Marcus
no, love.
[01:32] Machina
You!
[01:34] Machina
You bastard!
[01:45] Marcus
That hatred is so satisfying.
[01:49] Machina
Do you have any idea what you're doing?!
[01:51] Marcus
Of course I do.
[01:55] Marcus
Physical death doesn't exist for immortals.
[02:00] Marcus
However, once they're tossed into the
Immortal Furnace, immortals' souls will burn
[02:04] Marcus
until they meet their demise.
[02:07] Marcus
In short, they face a spiritual death.
[02:12] Marcus
Allow me to tell you something
else while I'm at it.
[02:15] Marcus
You remember Zenol,
Duke of the Karmic Sword?
[02:19] Marcus
He was the first one we used as firewood.
[02:23] Marcus
I've burned through many of our
brethren with this furnace.
[02:28] Marcus
The agony Duke Zenol faced
[02:30] Marcus
as his body was wreathed in fire, his very
soul aflame until it finally gave out,
[02:35] Marcus
must be impossible to imagine!
[02:41] Machina
I'll kill you!
[02:42] Machina
You will burn you until even
your ashes no longer remain!
[02:46] Marcus
Oh, how scary, how scary.
[02:49] Marcus
Please don't be so mad.
[02:52] Marcus
It's thanks to those virtuous immortals
[02:54] Marcus
that we enjoy the affluent
lives we all live now.
[02:58] Marcus
You should be showing them more gratitude.
[03:01] Machina
Are you planning to use me as firewood, too?
[03:03] Marcus
Yes.
[03:04] Marcus
It's time you became a
cornerstone of this city.
[03:07] Marcus
Even at IHMI, only a select few know about
the existence of the Immortal Furnace.
[03:14] Marcus
It's become difficult to motivate the citizens
[03:17] Marcus
now that they've grown tepid
after post-war reconstruction,
[03:19] Marcus
and if this were to become public,
[03:21] Marcus
then we'd be plagued with troublemakers
yapping about "immortal rights" or whatever,
[03:27] Marcus
so in the interest of
preserving confidentiality,
[03:29] Marcus
I came to collect you myself.
[03:32] Marcus
Our current firewood is just about to
burn out, so this was perfect timing.
[03:38] Marcus
This Immortal Furnace is the
heart of Shinjuku City.
[03:41] Marcus
We can't afford to let it stop, now can we?
[03:45] Marcus
Fortunately, you're also
one of the Six Dark Peers,
[03:48] Marcus
so you should last long enough
to buy us the time needed
[03:53] Marcus
to find an alternative source of energy.
[05:31] Kinohara
Lord Marcus said the Demon Lord would pass
through here, so he assigned me to delay you,
[05:39] Kinohara
but I didn't think you would actually come.
[05:42] Kinohara
Let alone with another associate.
[05:46] Kinohara
Quite irregular.
[05:48] Kinohara
Would you perhaps be the Hero Gram?
[05:52] Gram
Yeah. You know about me?
[05:55] Gram
I'm honored.
[05:57] Kinohara
There were records of you in the database.
[05:59] Kinohara
The ageless Hero who did
great work during the second war.
[06:04] Kinohara
I see.
[06:06] Kinohara
So the Hero and the Demon Lord
are now working together.
[06:10] Kinohara
How interesting.
[06:13] Gram
I'll handle her.
[06:16] Gram
I might have grown despondent,
but my skills haven't grown rusty.
[06:19] Gram
Don't worry about me.
[06:21] Veltol
You fool. As if I'd ever worry about you.
[06:25] Veltol
Though be wary.
[06:27] Veltol
That woman's swordsmanship
might be on par with Zenol's.
[06:36] Gram
Then it'll be an easy victory, huh?
[06:39] Kinohara
What was that?
[06:41] Gram
I won a total victory against Zenol,
Duke of the Karmic Sword,
[06:44] Gram
in a duel of pure swordsmanship.
[06:46] Gram
With that under my belt,
there's no way I can lose.
[06:49] Veltol
True.
[06:51] Veltol
You were the strongest in all of Arneath
when it came to the sword.
[06:56] Kinohara
Damn specters of the past!
[07:20] Kinohara
Do you think I'll just let you go?!
[07:29] Kinohara
You're in the way!
[07:30] Veltol
Listen to me as you fight, Gram.
[07:34] Veltol
Don't die!
[07:36] Gram
Understood!
[07:40] Veltol
Vestum!
[07:48] Kinohara
Damn specter!
[07:50] Kinohara
Your era has long since passed!
[07:55] Gram
That's true.
[07:57] Gram
Though there's still
someone who needs a Hero.
[08:01] Kinohara
Very well.
[08:05] Kinohara
This simply means I need
to delete you quickly
[08:08] Kinohara
and loop back to Lord Marcus' side.
[08:12] Kinohara
Then I'll commit the results.
[08:20] Kinohara
Zerobase, activate.
[08:41] Gram
Armor?
[08:54] Gram
A Magino Gear?
[08:56] Kinohara
Precisely.
[08:59] Kinohara
This is the prototype of the
next generation Magino Gear
[09:03] Kinohara
currently in development
by our company, Zerobase.
[09:07] Kinohara
By adapting armament summoning,
[09:10] Kinohara
we've made it possible for the user to
summon it from a catalyst and equip it instantly.
[09:15] Gram
A fifth-generation model.
[09:17] Kinohara
The Magino Gear currently in
production is the fourth generation.
[09:23] Kinohara
However, we've successfully made this
fifth-generation model, the Zerobase,
[09:26] Kinohara
smaller and more lightweight
than its predecessor,
[09:31] Kinohara
while also vastly improving its output
[09:34] Kinohara
and realizing better energy efficiency.
[09:36] Kinohara
It's a true innovation of the industry!
[09:40] Kinohara
This machine is the birth of a new generation!
[09:43] Kinohara
Though unlike the fourth-generation model,
[09:46] Kinohara
its one defect is that its operational time
[09:49] Kinohara
is greatly dependent on the
pilot's magic reserves.
[09:53] Kinohara
However, that too will surely
be resolved in the future.
[10:05] Kinohara
You'll be providing us with valuable
test data for the Zerobase.
[10:09] Kinohara
You should be honored.
[10:10] Gram
You ramble on a lot, just like your boss.
[10:13] Gram
I never asked for your product pitch.
[10:20] Kinohara
Both your weapon and its wielder
[10:24] Kinohara
are relics of the past.
[10:26] Kinohara
Even your Familia is an old model.
[10:28] Kinohara
Everything about you is outdated!
[10:30] Kinohara
In contrast, I possess the newest
machinery and the newest training!
[10:36] Gram
Battles aren't decided by the
age or quality of equipment.
[10:40] Gram
You either win or you lose.
[10:42] Gram
That's all.
[10:45] Kinohara
Well then...
[10:59] Kinohara
I see. You have good instincts.
[11:06] Gram
I can't find an opening
to go on the attack.
[11:09] Gram
The progress of technology is terrifying.
[11:12] Gram
I'm so glad I didn't have
to fight this thing
[11:17] Gram
during the City Wars.
[11:20] Gram
It's tough.
[11:28] Gram
Your normal attacks aren't
that fast, are they?
[11:31] Kinohara
Are you sure about that?
[11:34] Gram
Your magic will only activate when
you draw a fully sheathed sword.
[11:42] Kinohara
I suppose I should have expected
that from the battle-hardened Hero.
[11:46] Kinohara
Excellent.
[11:48] Kinohara
That is indeed my magic, Lightning Draw.
[11:53] Kinohara
However,
[11:55] Kinohara
figuring that out doesn't mean
you have a chance at winning.
[11:59] Kinohara
My victory is already penciled in.
[12:03] Kinohara
With the fifth-generation Magino Gear
and my lightning-fast drawing spell,
[12:08] Kinohara
the difference in combat
potential is obvious.
[12:11] Kinohara
Now, I've grown tired of talking.
[12:15] Kinohara
Let's put an end to this.
[12:19] Kinohara
Here I come.
[12:40] Kinohara
I'm unable to hack you?
[12:46] Kinohara
You must be familiar with that as well.
[12:49] Kinohara
Makes this very hard.
[12:51] Kinohara
Even so—!
[12:55] Kinohara
I am the chosen one,
[12:58] Kinohara
and there is no way an outdated Luddite
[13:02] Kinohara
can beat me!
[13:08] Gram
Earth Glaive!
[13:18] Kinohara
Not enough!
[13:21] Gram
Frost Nova!
[13:29] Kinohara
That won't stop the Zerobase!
[13:36] Gram
Of course I never expected it to.
[13:45] Kinohara
Wha?!
[13:48] Gram
Fireball!
[14:05] Kinohara
You annoying little—!
[14:08] Gram
Still won't get through, huh?
[14:10] Gram
But it looks like this tactic is working.
[14:13] Kinohara
Huh?
[14:14] Gram
That combo was an imitation
[14:17] Gram
of what a darkling used against
me five hundred years ago.
[14:20] Gram
It looks like the tactic is still effective against
someone with your cutting-edge training.
[14:26] Kinohara
Don't underestimate me!
[14:35] Kinohara
Why?!
[14:36] Kinohara
Why can't I defeat you?!
[14:45] Gram
You don't know?
[14:47] Gram
If this was enough to defeat me,
then I never would have cut it as the Hero.
[14:52] Kinohara
You Luddite!
[15:02] Kinohara
There's no way I'll lose
[15:04] Kinohara
to you and
[15:08] Kinohara
that rusty sword!
[15:11] Gram
Is that how my sword looks to you?
[15:16] Gram
So long as there are
those who seek the Hero,
[15:19] Gram
this sword will always regain its light.
[15:24] Gram
Heed my call and shine, Ixasorde!
[15:33] Ixasorde
Dinoah Luz.
(Verifying Hero.)
[15:34] Ixasorde
A Stra Rops Aran.
(Releasing Holy Sword of Salvation.)
[15:38] Ixasorde
Lez Ixasorde.
(Unsheathing approved.)
[15:47] Gram
Try to weather this,
[15:49] Gram
White Lightning.
[15:51] Gram
This is my greatest strike that
destroyed the Demon Lord!
[15:55] Gram
Now burn it into your eyes!
[15:58] Gram
Behold the light of this unsetting sun!
[16:02] Kinohara
Don't underestimate me!
[16:15] Gram
Alwing!
[16:37] Gram
Ixa sure is temperamental.
[16:41] Gram
Even though it let me unleash
it for the first time in a while,
[16:44] Gram
it still only fired one strike.
[16:49] Gram
That armor of yours, the latest
Magino Gear, is certainly incredible.
[16:54] Gram
Even if my strike wasn't as powerful as
it was when I defeated the Demon Lord,
[16:58] Gram
I'm surprised Ixa's blow
wasn't able to kill you.
[17:04] Kinohara
Why have I lost?
[17:08] Gram
I think you're better off asking why I won,
[17:11] Gram
rather than why you lost.
[17:15] Kinohara
They're the same thing.
[17:17] Kinohara
Why were you able to win?
[17:20] Gram
My years of experience, probably.
[17:22] Kinohara
Such a preposterous reason.
[17:25] Gram
No, no, you really can't ignore it.
[17:29] Gram
Especially not when I have five
hundred years of experience.
[17:34] Gram
I guess I managed to do something
heroic after all this time.
[17:40] Kinohara
I thought you were going to
head toward Lord Marcus.
[17:44] Gram
He'll be just fine without me.
[17:46] Kinohara
Your Demon Lord can't win.
[17:50] Kinohara
Lord Marcus is strong.
[17:53] Kinohara
Far stronger than me.
[17:55] Kinohara
No, before that, anyone without a Familia
[17:58] Kinohara
could never hope to stand against him.
[18:01] Kinohara
Your Demon Lord couldn't even
beat me in the bare flesh.
[18:06] Kinohara
What's so funny?
[18:09] Gram
I thought you were a clever woman,
but you say some silly things.
[18:14] Gram
Did you really think that man went
to challenge your boss without a plan?
[18:20] Gram
If so, then you're severely
underestimating him.
[18:22] Kinohara
That's not the case!
That's why I'm still here!
[18:25] Gram
Oh, right.
[18:27] Gram
I'm the only one who knows
about his trump card.
[18:31] Kinohara
Trump card? What do you mean by that?
[18:35] Gram
I'm betting even Marcus doesn't know.
[18:38] Gram
Anyone who saw that would
be cast into despair.
[18:42] Gram
That man is strong.
[18:44] Gram
I guarantee that as the man who beat you.
[18:50] Kinohara
So...
[18:52] Kinohara
aren't you going to kill me?
[18:54] Gram
Kill you?
[18:55] Kinohara
Yes, me.
[19:00] Gram
I don't have any real
reason to take your life.
[19:05] Gram
You no longer have the
strength to fight me,
[19:09] Gram
so I don't need to kill you, either.
[19:11] Gram
You fought me and survived
thanks to your own skill.
[19:15] Gram
My role is to prevent people like you from
getting close to Veltol and interfering.
[19:22] Gram
He'll handle the rest all by himself.
[19:26] Kinohara
Is that so?
[19:31] Gram
Sanctuary!
[19:55] Gram
Seems like that strike was
going to hit us both.
[20:00] Gram
Oh, well.
[20:02] Gram
I guess it's time to do
another job as the Hero
[20:06] Gram
and help someone in trouble.
[21:42] Marcus
Now then,
[21:44] Marcus
that's enough of our long chat.
[21:46] Marcus
I just need to toss you
into the Immortal Furnace,
[21:49] Marcus
and then it will automatically
start burning your soul
[21:52] Marcus
to provide for this city.
[21:56] Marcus
Perhaps your soul will burn even brighter
than the rest, since you're an ignia.
[22:04] Marcus
Soon all the immortals shall be gone,
[22:06] Marcus
and I will become this
world's true Demon Lord!
[22:12] Marcus
This is where we bid farewell.
[22:23] Machina
Lord Veltol...
[22:26] Machina
Udon alone won't provide balanced nutrition,
so please cook for yourself on occasion.
[22:31] Machina
Be sure to do the laundry regularly.
[22:35] Machina
Don't let it pile up on you.
[22:41] Machina
Since your work is sedentary,
[22:43] Machina
please don't forget to stand
and do stretches every hour.
[22:49] Machina
Also...
[22:50] Machina
What else...
[22:55] Machina
I loved you.
[23:20] Veltol
You have the unfortunate habit
of giving up too quickly.
[23:25] Veltol
Sorry I'm late.
[23:31] Veltol
I'm here to save you, Machina.

[00:09] Machina
Lord Veltol...
[00:11] Veltol
Wait here a little longer.
[00:13] Veltol
I'll end this quickly so we can go home.
[00:17] Marcus
Veltol...
[00:20] Veltol
Marcus.
[00:21] Marcus
Oh, that reminds me.
I've watched your streams.
[00:25] Marcus
It seems you've gathered a
decent number of subscribers,
[00:27] Marcus
so I suppose you've recovered more
of your power than last time.
[00:32] Marcus
Has it been fun,
having them fawn over you?
[00:36] Marcus
I'm envious that you get
to play games all day.
[00:39] Veltol
Do you have any excuses
for harming my vassal?
[00:44] Marcus
None at all.
[00:46] Veltol
Any for sacrificing another of the
Six Dark Peers or the immortals?
[00:50] Marcus
Not a single one.
[00:53] Veltol
I'll ask one last thing.
[00:55] Veltol
Do you have any intention of
joining my forces once again?
[01:03] Marcus
I refuse!
[01:05] Veltol
I see.
[01:09] Veltol
Then...
[01:13] Veltol
die.
[02:47] Marcus
Blood Sword.
[02:56] Marcus
Blood to Bomb.
[03:06] Marcus
Blood Sword.
[03:17] Marcus
Oh? Enhancement Magic, then?
[03:20] Marcus
Of course that would be your play.
[03:24] Marcus
I can't cancel out magic
[03:27] Marcus
that's already been activated!
[03:33] Marcus
And considering the logical
strength of your spells,
[03:36] Marcus
dispelling it would prove difficult, too!
[03:46] Marcus
What a gratifying sight!
[03:50] Veltol
You have insulted and
betrayed the immortals.
[03:54] Veltol
That is a heinous crime.
[03:56] Marcus
And who do you think will
punish me for said crime?!
[04:00] Veltol
Me, of course.
[04:03] Marcus
Do you think you have the right?
[04:06] Veltol
I do.
[04:07] Veltol
Because I am the Demon Lord.
[04:11] Marcus
You're already old news, Veltol!
[04:14] Marcus
I'll put you out of your misery,
[04:16] Marcus
you outdated Demon Lord!
[04:20] Veltol
Don't flatter yourself, peasant!
[04:41] Marcus
Phew.
[04:43] Marcus
Of course you would target my Familia.
[04:48] Marcus
The result won't change, no matter
how many times you try.
[04:52] Veltol
Don't assume I'm like I was before.
[04:54] Marcus
No, you are the same!
[04:56] Marcus
You don't have any way of
beating me without a Familia.
[05:02] Marcus
You can never defeat me.
[05:05] Marcus
Let me prove it to you.
[05:08] Marcus
Blood to Bomb.
[05:14] Marcus
Blood to Bomb!
[05:18] Marcus
Blood to Bomb!
[05:22] Marcus
Blood to Bomb! Blood to Bomb!
[05:25] Marcus
Blood to Bomb!
[05:26] Marcus
Blood to Bomb!
[05:27] Marcus
Blood to Bomb! Blood to
Bomb! Blood to Bomb!
[05:30] Marcus
Blood to Bomb! Blood to Bomb! Blood to Bomb!
Blood to Bomb! Blood to Bomb! Blood to Bomb!
[05:39] Machina
Lord Veltol!
[05:41] Marcus
It's over!
[05:43] Marcus
Blood to Explosion.
[05:58] Marcus
That was a surprisingly dull climax.
[06:05] Marcus
I thought seeing you in such a pathetic
state would excite me once more,
[06:11] Marcus
but it just feels hollow.
[06:23] Machina
Lord Veltol?
[06:27] Veltol
Well done.
[06:30] Veltol
Well done, driving me to this point.
[06:34] Veltol
You have my sincerest praise, Marcus.
[06:37] Veltol
You have demonstrated a strength
[06:39] Veltol
that I cannot overcome in this state.
[06:43] Veltol
You are only the second person
to have made me say that.
[06:48] Veltol
It's all thanks to your
outstanding achievements.
[06:54] Veltol
You should be proud.
[06:57] Veltol
I ask you once more, Marcus.
[07:01] Veltol
I am setting aside my beliefs
to allow you a second chance.
[07:04] Veltol
Though this will truly
be the last time I ask.
[07:09] Veltol
Know that there will not be a third!
[07:11] Veltol
Do you have any intention of
joining my forces once again?
[07:17] Marcus
Y-You dare ask me that at this point—?
[07:20] Veltol
Which is it?
[07:22] Veltol
Depending on your answer,
[07:24] Veltol
I may even show leniency and
overlook this recent mutiny.
[07:28] Marcus
Quit bluffing!
[07:30] Marcus
Your time is already over!
[07:33] Marcus
This is my era now!
[07:36] Marcus
I'll be the one to rule this world!
[07:38] Marcus
As the one and only immortal
now that they're all gone!
[07:42] Marcus
I alone
[07:44] Marcus
will be the true Demon Lord!
[07:49] Veltol
I see.
[07:53] Veltol
Then you shall die, immortal!
[07:59] Marcus
Blood Sword!
[08:01] Marcus
Huh?!
[08:16] Veltol
Consider this an honor!
[08:18] Veltol
You shall behold my royal visage,
[08:20] Veltol
which only the Hero Gram has seen!
[08:22] Veltol
Behold and despair!
[08:25] Veltol
At the pitiful fate that lead
you to witness this sight!
[08:48] Veltol
Now I shall show you
[08:51] Veltol
my second form!
[08:56] Takahashi
All right,
[08:59] Takahashi
super genius pretty girl hacker.
[09:02] Takahashi
This is the biggest job of your life.
[09:05] Takahashi
Let's go, let's go!
[09:40] Veltol
Good evemortal!
[09:42] Passerby
Huh?
[09:42] Veltol
How's the pain of life
treating you mortals today?
[09:43] Passerby
What?
[09:43] Passerby
What's going on?
[09:45] Passerby
Oh, wow, it's that guy who's
been getting popular lately.
[09:47] Veltol
It is I, the Demon Lord
Veltol Velvet Velsvalt!
[09:48] Passerby
Wow, Veltol's pulling this off now?
[09:51] Passerby
I wonder if it's some kind of ad.
[09:52] Veltol
Now then...
[09:52] Passerby
Huh? No way! Damn!
[09:53] Veltol
Today we're continuing Bloody Spirit 3.
[09:54] Passerby
Who's this guy?
[09:55] Passerby
He looks and sounds way too hot!
[09:56] Veltol
I believe this will be the
last time for this one.
[09:58] Passerby
He's done it! The dark lord rises!
[09:58] Veltol
I'm not sure.
[09:59] Veltol
It's proven to be a rather formidable game.
[10:02] Veltol
I plan to stay sharp until the very end,
[10:04] Veltol
so join me on this quest!
[10:06] Takahashi
Order's up.
[10:09] (Flashback) Veltol
Takahashi, I command you...
[10:11] (Flashback) Takahashi
Huh?
[10:12] (Flashback) Veltol
raise my faith.
[10:14] (Flashback) Takahashi
Huh?
[10:15] (Flashback) Veltol
Raise my faith.
[10:17] (Flashback) Takahashi
Yeah, you don't have to say it
twice to make it sound important.
[10:20] (Flashback) Gram
Oh, so that's what you're after.
[10:23] (Flashback) Veltol
Yes.
[10:23] (Flashback) Takahashi
H-Hold on. Don't just move the
conversation along by yourselves.
[10:27] (Flashback) Takahashi
I don't even know how I'm supposed to
raise his faith in the first place!
[10:31] (Flashback) Veltol
It would take too long
to explain the minutiae.
[10:34] (Flashback) Veltol
Just focus on increasing
my name recognition.
[10:36] (Flashback) Veltol
That will suffice.
[10:38] (Flashback) Takahashi
Hey now, you say that like it's simple,
[10:42] (Flashback) Takahashi
but you know full well
how difficult that is, Velly.
[10:45] (Flashback) Veltol
And if I told you to use
any means necessary?
[10:49] (Flashback) Takahashi
For real?!
[10:50] (Flashback) Veltol
Yes.
[10:51] (Flashback) Takahashi
I can really just do whatever I want?
[10:53] (Flashback) Veltol
Go big. I permit it.
[10:57] (Flashback) Takahashi
Roger that!
[10:58] (Flashback) Takahashi
You really do have a great eye for people,
[11:02] (Flashback) Takahashi
putting me in charge of such a fun job!
[11:06] Takahashi
Ah, I'm beat.
[11:08] Takahashi
Well, it feels kind of nice going
all out for a friend for once.
[11:17] Takahashi
You can do it, Velly.
[11:20] Takahashi
Save Machina for us.
[11:21] Veltol
AW, YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
[11:25] Veltol
This one proved plenty intense.
[11:25] Dwarf
Hey, look!
[11:27] Dwarf
He's making headlines
on all the news sites.
[11:30] Veltol
I thought I had improved after 1 and 2,
[11:31] Ogre
He's #1 and trending on all social media.
[11:34] Dwarf
Hm.
[11:35] Veltol
but my pride was shattered following
my repeated fatalities at the start.
[11:39] Veltol
"I definitely thought he was done."
[11:41] Veltol
That's impossible for me.
[11:43] Veltol
"He looks cool even when pissed."
[11:46] Veltol
Were I truly enraged,
[11:48] Veltol
the aether would scream,
[11:49] Boy
The Demon Lord...
[11:50] Veltol
the earth would tremble,
[11:51] Veltol
and the world would end.
[12:16] Marcus
What is...
[12:18] Marcus
that?!
[12:28] Marcus
What is...
[12:29] Marcus
that form?!
[12:37] Veltol
Foolish peasant.
[12:40] Veltol
Did you not understand why
I constructed my castle
[12:45] Veltol
deep underground?
[12:48] Veltol
When I chose the throne room
of my upside-down keep
[12:51] Veltol
as the stage for my
battle against the Hero,
[12:54] Veltol
did you never stop to question that?
[12:57] Marcus
Wh-What are you...
[12:59] Veltol
It was all so that I could take this form.
[13:04] Veltol
The high concentration of
power from the aether lines
[13:07] Veltol
and strong faith are required to manifest
[13:12] Veltol
my second form!
[13:14] Veltol
That is what you now behold!
[13:17] Veltol
Marcus.
[13:19] Veltol
Failing to end me the day I first awoke
[13:22] Veltol
has proven to be your greatest mistake of all!
[13:26] Veltol
Go ahead!
[13:28] Veltol
Fear me and tremble!
[13:30] Veltol
That fear, too, shall become my power!
[13:34] Marcus
Enough!
[13:35] Marcus
No matter how much your
appearance has changed,
[13:37] Marcus
it's still true that you lost
to the Hero 500 years ago!
[13:40] Marcus
Don't think it'll work for
you now in this new era!
[13:43] Veltol
Then test it for yourself.
[13:46] Veltol
I'll correct those false delusions of yours.
[13:51] Marcus
Blood Sword!
[13:55] Marcus
Blood Sword!
[13:58] Marcus
Blood Sword!
[14:01] Marcus
Why?!
[14:03] Marcus
Why?!
[14:06] Veltol
Why are you so surprised?
[14:09] Veltol
I'm simply doing the same thing you did
earlier when you canceled out my spells.
[14:15] Marcus
Huh?
[14:16] Veltol
Marcus!
[14:18] Veltol
You remarked earlier that
I was two steps too slow.
[14:23] Marcus
What?!
[14:25] Velotol
So allow me to return the favor.
[14:28] Velotol
You're one step too slow, Marcus!
[14:32] Marcus
Th-That's impossible!
[14:36] Marcus
P-Proclamationless magic?!
[14:38] Veltol
Indeed!
[14:41] Marcus
That's impossible!
[14:43] Marcus
That cannot be!
[14:44] Marcus
That's a realm even modern
magitech has been unable to reach!
[14:49] Marcus
How can you activate magic without
a chant or proclamation?!
[14:54] Veltol
Assuming this form
[14:56] Veltol
has allowed me to replicate the
functions of the Familia,
[14:59] Veltol
and cast magic using the same
superposition within myself.
[15:05] Veltol
Fortunately, we're not lacking
for aether in this space.
[15:09] Veltol
Which means,
[15:11] Veltol
I can use magic simply by willing it.
[15:14] Veltol
It's all thanks to you, Marcus!
[15:18] Marcus
Huh?
[15:20] Veltol
You are the one who spurred the
advancement of magitech in this world
[15:23] Veltol
in your pursuit of supplanting
me as Demon Lord.
[15:26] Veltol
It is thanks to that advancement
[15:29] Veltol
that I am now capable of reaching the
new heights of Proclamationless magic.
[15:34] Veltol
You have done excellent work for
me over these past 500 years.
[15:40] Veltol
You have my sincere praise, Marcus.
[15:43] Marcus
That should be impossible!
[15:45] Marcus
You shouldn't be capable of
defeating me without a Familia!

I surpassed you!
[16:23] Marcus
I'm far too great to serve
under someone like you!
[16:27] Marcus
I should be the Demon Lord!
[16:32] Veltol
Your screeching has grown annoying.
[16:36] Veltol
Be quiet for a moment.
[16:38] Marcus
Veltol!
[17:00] Veltol
Using magic without a proclamation
certainly lacks elegance.
[17:05] Veltol
Let's try a different tack.
[17:11] Marcus
What is this?!
[17:12] Marcus
Stop!
[17:13] Marcus
Don't touch me!
[17:15] Marcus
Stop it!
[17:17] Veltol
According to my friend,
[17:19] Veltol
it's called Laughing Man.
[17:22] Veltol
It infiltrates the target's Familia
[17:25] Veltol
and takes over their perception.
[17:28] Veltol
How is it?
[17:29] Veltol
It's not an illusion wrought through magic,
[17:32] Veltol
but a false image projected
directly into your brain.
[17:36] Veltol
Realistic, is it not?!
[17:38] Marcus
You're saying you broke through the
logic barrier of my Familia Advance?!
[17:45] Marcus
Stop!
[17:47] Marcus
Stop it already!
[17:52] Veltol
Amusing!
[17:53] Veltol
Now this is very amusing, Marcus!
[17:55] Veltol
Keep it up!
[17:57] Veltol
You're so ridiculous
[18:00] Veltol
I may just forget all about
this and change my mind!
[18:04] Marcus
Please make it stop! I'm begging you!
[18:07] Marcus
I'll rejoin your forces!
[18:09] Marcus
So please show mercy!
[18:12] Veltol
I already told you.
[18:14] Veltol
There will not be a third time!
[18:25] Marcus
No way?!
[18:27] Marcus
Are you planning to turn me into firewood?!
[18:29] Veltol
Indeed.
[18:31] Marcus
What good would that even do?!
[18:33] Veltol
Supplying the Immortal Furnace
with your traitorous life
[18:36] Veltol
should ensure its continued operation
[18:39] Veltol
and maintain this place
for a while longer, right?
[18:42] Veltol
Then you should gracefully become
a cornerstone of this city.
[18:47] Veltol
This furnace has truly been a benefit.
[18:51] Veltol
It would be a shame to destroy it.
[18:54] Marcus
What you're doing is no different from me!
[18:57] Marcus
You're casting your brethren
into it as firewood!
[18:59] Marcus
Are you okay with committing
such a heinous act?!
[19:02] Veltol
You fool.
[19:04] Veltol
Have the last five centuries
left you senile?
[19:07] Veltol
I am the harbinger of darkness,
the Demon Lord, Veltol Velvet Velsvalt!
[19:14] Veltol
Heinous acts are a staple for me!
[19:18] Marcus
You know nothing about this world!
[19:21] Marcus
You don't even know the truth
about why it came to this!
[19:24] Marcus
You don't even understand that
this was the only choice I had!
[19:29] Marcus
Die!
[19:31] Marcus
Blood to Explosion!
[19:45] Veltol
Are you satisfied with that
being your last act of defiance?
[19:50] Veltol
I've accepted your pathetic terror
as your final offering to me!
[19:57] Veltol
I won't forget it.
[19:59] Marcus
Hey, wait!
[20:01] Marcus
Wait, wait, wait!
[20:02] Marcus
Stop!
[20:03] Marcus
Stop it!
[20:05] Marcus
Hey! Hey! Hey!
[20:06] Veltol
Farewell.
[20:08] Marcus
No! I don't want to die!
[20:10] Marcus
No!
[20:11] Marcus
No!
[20:33] Veltol
Marcus.
[20:34] Veltol
Let us meet again after your methenoel.
[20:48] Veltol
Did my appearance frighten you, Machina?
[20:51] Machina
Yes.
[20:53] Machina
You were terror incarnate,
as befits the Demon Lord.
[21:03] Veltol
Glimmers of life, huh?
[21:08] Machina
Lord Veltol?
[21:11] Veltol
I was weak.
[21:14] Veltol
Though because I was weak,
I could see the glimmers of life
[21:18] Veltol
in immortals, and in you.
[21:22] Veltol
That is why I prevailed this time.
[21:27] Veltol
Oh, I see.
[21:29] Veltol
That's why...
[21:39] Veltol
That's what it was all about, Machina.
[21:54] Veltol
I love you.
[21:57] Machina
I love you too, Lord Veltol.

SIGN Demon Lord
[04:27] Veltol
Streaming for 74 hours in a
single stretch was way too long.
[04:33] Veltol
Enter.
[04:36] Machina
You must be tired, Lord Veltol.
[04:39] Machina
Super Fortressvania Gaiden
is famous for its difficulty.
[04:43] Machina
I got so frustrated with the
first stage that it broke my spirit.
[04:49] Machina
But you're impressive, Lord Veltol.
[04:50] Machina
Your orichalcum willpower
has left me in awe.
[04:54] Veltol
Heh, it wasn't worth such praise.
[04:56] Machina
However!
[04:57] Machina
Could you please take breaks at least
every 24 hours from now on?
[05:01] Machina
If I have to go over three days
without beholding your face,
[05:06] Machina
then I'll suffer from severe
Lord Veltol deficiency.
[05:10] Veltol
I'll be more careful from now on.
[05:12] Veltol
That reminds me, Machina.
[05:13] Veltol
My channel's subscriber count
has just passed over 3 million.
[05:17] Machina
Congratulations.
[05:19] Machina
Shall I prepare some red rice?
[05:21] Machina
Or would you like to go out for sushi?
[05:23] Veltol
No, there's no need to celebrate.
[05:25] Veltol
Though with this, I've unlocked the
second form of my dark sword, Vernal.
[05:32] Veltol
My tendency to view things in
game terms is growing worse.
[05:34] Machina
Congratulations!
[05:36] Machina
Shall I bake you a celebratory cake?
[05:38] Machina
Or would you like to go out for sushi?
[05:41] Veltol
Do you want to go eat sushi that badly?
[05:43] Machina
No, not particularly.
[05:45] Veltol
Hm?
[05:46] Veltol
That said, I can't really use its
second form for much right now.
[05:51] Machina
Why is that?
[05:53] Veltol
It's the form for executing immortals.
[05:55] Machina
Oh.
[05:56] Machina
I see.
[05:58] Veltol
Also, that form looks extremely
similar to Gram's sword,
[06:02] Veltol
so I have mixed feelings about it.
[06:05] Machina
Now that you mention it, yes.
[06:09] Machina
Lord Veltol?
[06:11] Veltol
Well, I've been thinking about things
since the incident with Marcus.
[06:16] Veltol
I think we should search for
the other Six Dark Peers.
[06:19] Veltol
The ones whose whereabouts are unknown
are Ralsheen, the Blue Storm,
[06:23] Veltol
Sihlwald, the Black Dragon, and
May, the Mournful Firmament, right?
[06:27] Machina
I knew the whereabouts of May and
Ralsheen up until the Immortal Hunts,
[06:32] Machina
but I haven't heard anything since then.
[06:34] Veltol
When Marcus spoke to you,
[06:37] Veltol
he didn't mention any of the
Six Dark Peers aside from Zenol, right?
[06:41] Machina
Yes.
[06:42] Machina
That fool Marcus mentioned he burned
Duke Zenol in the Immortal Furnace.
[06:48] Veltol
Given his personality,
[06:49] Veltol
he would have boasted if he had
tossed any of the others into it.
SIGN Former IHMI CEO Marcus Dolchrite
Still Not Seen in Public
[06:54] Veltol
So by his omission, we can assume
that Marcus didn't feed any
[06:57] Veltol
of the other Six Dark Peers
into the Immortal Furnace.
[07:00] Veltol
In which case, I'd like to investigate the
whereabouts of the remaining three.
[07:05] Veltol
Will you help me?
[07:07] Machina
Absolutely.
[07:09] Veltol
Hm.
[07:12] Veltol
We'll need to turn to
the Dark Peers Records.
[07:14] Machina
This situation was the exact reason all
six of us poured our magic into that book.
[07:19] Veltol
Indeed.
[07:21] Veltol
It's convenient since it automatically
records your actions and whereabouts,
[07:26] Veltol
but it was lost after our
defeat in the war, right?
[07:29] Machina
Yes.
[07:30] Machina
Though fortunately, that also prevented
that fool Marcus from abusing it.
[07:34] Veltol
I had given up on it for a time, but now
that our life has settled down some,
[07:38] Veltol
it's time to start searching in earnest.
[07:40] Machina
Yes.
[07:43] Both
Hm?
[07:44] Takahashi
Hey, hey, I'm popping by!
[07:46] Takahashi
Open up!
[07:47] Veltol
Oh, she's here again today?
[07:50] Machina
That girl...
[07:51] Machina
She said she'd never visit us here,
[07:53] Machina
and yet she stops by to
hang out five times a week.
[07:56] Veltol
You say that,
[07:57] Veltol
but you're also happy that she
comes to hang out, right?
[08:01] Machina
Well, I won't deny it.
[08:04] Takahashi
Hello, hello!
[08:05] Takahashi
You doing well?
[08:08] Veltol
Takahashi...
[08:09] Veltol
You're...
[08:11] Veltol
a high schooler?
[08:13] Takahahashi
- Didn't I tell you?
[08:13] Machina
- Didn't I mention that?
[08:15] Veltol
No one told me.
[08:16] Veltol
So you're doing those dangerous
jobs at such a young age?
[08:20] Takahashi
What does that matter?
[08:21] Takahashi
Who cares if a high schooler takes
on dangerous, illegal jobs?
[08:24] Machina
It's not good, high schooler or not.
[08:27] Takahashi
Hup!
[08:28] Machina
Hey, Takahashi, you're heavy.
[08:31] Takahashi
I'm light! Like a feather!
[08:33] Takahashi
Oh, good job on the stream, Velly!
[08:35] Takahashi
It was entertaining!
[08:37] Veltol
Mm, though I'll need to work
on not streaming for too long.
[08:40] Takahashi
I don't think you need to worry about that.
[08:43] Takahashi
Plenty of people use
marathon streams as BGM.
[08:47] Takahashi
There's a demand for them.
[08:49] Veltol
Is that so?
[08:50] Machina
That's quite rude of them.
[08:52] Takahashi
If you upload clips of the stream later,
[08:55] Takahashi
then people who couldn't watch
the marathon can catch up, too.
[08:58] Takahashi
Right, Machina?
[09:00] Machina
I've already scheduled the first
video to be uploaded in an hour.
[09:04] Veltol
You're always a big help.
[09:05] Machina
You honor me too much.
[09:07] Takahashi
Okey dokey.
[09:08] Takahashi
So, what game are you doing next?
[09:12] Both
Hm.
[09:13] Takahashi
Huh?
[09:14] Takahashi
What's this?
[09:16] Takahashi
Have you been whispering
and plotting in secret?
[09:18] Takahashi
Let me in on it!
[09:21] Machina
It has nothing to do with you, Takahashi.
[09:24] Takahashi
Don't block me out of the
group! Just tell me!
[09:29] Takahashi
Tell me!
[09:30] Veltol
We were thinking of searching
for the Dark Peers Records,
[09:33] Veltol
a magigadget from long ago.
[09:34] Takahashi
Searching for an ancient magigadget?!
[09:36] Takahashi
An artifact?!
[09:37] Takahashi
A treasure hunt?!
[09:39] Takahashi
You should have asked for
my help way sooner, then!
[09:43] Takahashi
Hup!
[09:45] Takahashi
Gathering information is the perfect
job for an aether hacker like me!
[09:49] Veltol
I wasn't sure about relying on a
mortal for immortal affairs...
[09:54] Veltol
but I suppose it's already too late
to worry about asking for your help.
[09:57] Takahashi
You got it!
[10:01] Machina
Takahashi, there's no way you're going
to find it on the net that easily.
[10:08] Takahashi
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
[10:09] Takahashi
Just who do you think I am?
[10:12] Takahashi
Of course you're never going
to find it just by searching
[10:15] Takahashi
"Where are the Dark Peers Records?"
[10:18] Takahashi
Which is why...
[10:21] Takahashi
I'm taking a different approach!
[10:23] Takahashi
Instead of searching for book itself,
I'll search for places where it might be located.
[10:26] Takahashi
People and organizations who collect
relics from before the Fantasion,
[10:30] Takahashi
museums, research facilities...
[10:32] Takahashi
Those are what I'm searching for.
[10:33] Takahashi
Then I set the right parameters
for the artificial spirits,
[10:35] Takahashi
have them sift through the sea of data,
[10:37] Takahashi
and narrow it down to
something more accurate.
[10:40] Machina
Takahashi's talent really is on
a different level, isn't it?
[10:43] Takahashi
See! I found it!
[10:45] Machina
That fast?!
[10:46] Takahashi
I do keep three artificial
spirits on my Familia.
[10:50] Veltol
That's impressive, Takahashi!
[10:52] Veltol
I'll reward you later.
[10:55] Machina
Shall I make some red rice?
[10:57] Machina
Or would...
[10:58] Both
you like to go out for sushi?
[11:01] Machina
It's a trending meme.
[11:04] Veltol
I see.
[11:05] Machina
This is Akihabara City?
[11:07] Takahashi
It's one of Shinjuku's satellite cities.
[11:10] Takahashi
On top of that, it's also
the location of the oldest
[11:12] Takahashi
of the world's scant few schools of magic.
[11:15] Veltol
Oh?
[11:16] Takahashi
The Akihabara School of Magic, Lu Xel.
[11:19] Takahashi
It was founded after the Immortal War,
[11:21] Takahashi
and legends still say there's
a treasury hidden beneath it.
[11:26] Takahashi
Rumor also has it that the treasury
hasn't been opened in nearly 500 years.
[11:31] Veltol
That timeframe would align with
the loss of the Dark Peers Records.
[11:34] Machina
How are we supposed to get in
if it's underneath a school?
[11:38] Machina
Just punch our way in and steal it?
[11:40] Takahashi
That would be a super power play.
[11:42] Takahashi
Are you a barbarian?
[11:44] Takahashi
This is where I work to pierce their
security, and we sneak our way in.
[11:48] Machina
What? No, I don't like the idea
of us turning to crime like that.
[11:52] Takahashi
Huh?
[11:53] Veltol
There's no need for us to
assume unnecessary risk.
[11:57] Veltol
If we want to get into a school, then we
just need to become students, right?!
[12:03] Machina
Y-You have a point.
[12:05] Machina
I hadn't thought of that.
[12:08] Takahashi
You sure come up with fun ideas, Velly.
[12:11] Takahashi
That's great. Let's do it!
[12:13] Takahashi
I'll submit an official exchange
program application with my school,
[12:17] Takahashi
then we just need to alter them
a little and we can pull it off!
[12:20] Veltol
Then our plan is set!
[12:23] Veltol
Our destination is Akihabara City!
[12:25] Veltol
Our objective is to locate and
secure the Dark Peers Records!
[12:29] Veltol
As the Demon Lord Veltol Velvet Velsvalt,
[12:33] Veltol
I hereby issue this quest!

[13:09] Robot
Welcome to Akihabara City.
[13:12] Robot
Please present your identification.
[13:15] Veltol
My face serves as proof of who I am!
[13:18] Robot
Please present your identification.
[13:21] Veltol
Are you saying you don't recognize my
face when I have 3 million subscribers?
[13:25] Robot
We cannot allow entry into the
city without identification.
[13:30] Veltol
How insolent.
[13:31] Veltol
You've been rather condescending, too.
[13:34] Veltol
Your attitude warrants death.
[13:36] Veltol
Hm?
[13:37] Veltol
What is it Takahashi?
[13:38] Veltol
I'm in the middle of—
[13:40] Veltol
Hm?
[13:41] Robot
Thank you for your cooperation.
[13:43] Robot
Please proceed.
[13:47] Takahashi
Let's get moving!
[13:50] Veltol
Whoa!
[13:53] Veltol
So this...
[13:55] Veltol
This is...
[13:56] Veltol
Akihabara City?!
[13:58] Veltol
To think such vestiges of Alneath
were still alive in this world!
[14:02] Takahashi
Velly! Hurry, hurry!
[14:05] Veltol
Yeah! I'm coming!
[14:08] Veltol
There are a lot of shops
selling magiprostheses here.
[14:12] Machina
Magic Town flourishes because
of its sales of magigadgets.
[14:16] Machina
The magiprostheses made in Akihabara
are known for their excellent quality.
[14:21] Takahashi
By the way,
[14:22] Takahashi
the magiprostheses of that brutish
bastard you beat the other day
[14:25] Takahashi
came from around here.
[14:26] Veltol
Oh?
[14:28] Veltol
They are something that was
unthinkable back in my age.
[14:32] Veltol
So are maginoborgs,
[14:34] Veltol
but especially full borgs like him.
[14:37] Machina
No one ever even imagined replacing all
but the brain and spine with machines.
[14:42] Veltol
Once they've gone that far,
[14:44] Veltol
it gets hard to tell them apart
from maginoroids like that elf.
[14:46] Takahashi
On that note, stop picking
fights with maginoroids!
[14:50] Takahashi
It's embarrassing.
[14:52] Takahashi
This is the Akihabara
School of Magic, Lu Xel.
[14:56] Veltol
This alone is awfully
different from the rest.
[14:58] Veltol
It's ruining the nostalgic scenery.
[15:02] Tratte
Hm?
[15:05] Tratte
Hm...
[15:08] Tratte
I see.
[15:10] Tratte
Veltol Velvet Velsvalt.
[15:13] Tratte
That is your real name?
[15:15] Veltol
Indeed it is!
[15:16] Tratte
Hm...
[15:21] (Flashback) Takahashi
Tratte Götel.
[15:23] (Flashback) Takahashi
She's from one of the Three Great Houses.
[15:26] (Flashback) Takahashi
She's the head of the Götel clan,
which has been around
[15:28] (Flashback) Takahashi
for nearly five centuries following
the end of the Immortal War.
[15:31] (Flashback) Takahashi
She's the chairwoman of the
Akihabara School of Magic,
[15:34] (Flashback) Takahashi
and she practically controls the half
of the city known as Magic Town.
[15:39] (Flashback) Takahashi
I'm sure she's no ordinary person.
[15:42] (Flashback) Takahashi
There's a chance she'll
see through my forgery.
[15:45] (Flashback) Takahashi
Plus, Velly can't control himself,
and Machina's useless.
[15:50] (Flashback) Takahashi
I'll have to do my best, then!
[15:55] Tratte
Very well, then.
[15:57] Tratte
Your documents look legitimate,
so I accept them.
[16:01] Tratte
Though please, allow me to
ask one last question.
[16:03] Takahashi
Yes!
[16:03] Veltol
Ask anything you'd like.
[16:05] Veltol
What is the goal of your exchange study?
[16:07] Takahashi
That's—
[16:07] Veltol
I want to open the treasury
beneath this school
[16:11] Veltol
and see what's inside.
[16:13] Tratte
How do you know about the treasury?
[16:16] Takahashi
I—
[16:17] Veltol
The truth always pulls back its own veil
[16:19] Veltol
when faced with my keen
eyes and inquisitive mind.
[16:23] Tratte
You're saying it's not a coincidence
that you know about the treasury?
[16:27] Veltol
Perhaps, or perhaps not.
[16:31] Tratte
Cyplicusian logic?
[16:33] Tratte
You argue that the truth constantly
fluctuates under subjective observation?
[16:38] Veltol
There's not much else to say.
[16:40] Trate
Sometimes silence speaks volumes.
[16:44] Trate
However, it doesn't seem like you've
come here out of pure curiosity.
[16:48] Trate
I'm impressed by your
enthusiasm, so I'll allow it.
[16:54] Takahashi
Huh?
[16:55] Tratte
At least that's what I'd like to say.
[16:58] Veltol
You won't?
[17:00] Tratte
It's more accurate to say I can't.
[17:03] Tratte
The treasury is sealed.
[17:05] Tratte
It has been for over five centuries.
[17:08] Veltol
It sounds like this seal
would be difficult to release.
[17:11] Tratte
Releasing the seal
[17:13] Tratte
requires all of the keys possessed
by this city's three great houses—
[17:17] Tratte
the Götel Clan, the Seburd Clan,
and the Reynard Clan.
[17:20] Tratte
You'll need all three of the
magigadgets known as the Regalia.
[17:26] Tratte
This is one such Regalia,
[17:29] Tratte
the "Blade" belonging to the Götel Clan.
[17:31] Tratte
There's also the Seburd Clan's "Crown,"
[17:34] Tratte
and the Reynard Clan's "Orb."
[17:36] Veltol
And what if I were to
acquire the other Regalia?
[17:41] Tratte
Then I would happily
release the seal for you.
[17:44] Tratte
Bringing all three Regalia together has
been the Götel Clan's longstanding wish.
[17:49] Tratte
I'm also personally curious as to
what might lie in that treasury.
[17:54] Tratte
However, there's one major problem.
[17:57] Veltol
Which is?
[17:58] Tratte
One of the Regalia,
[18:01] Tratte
the Reynard Clan's Orb, has been lost.
[18:06] Mag
I will be your head teacher.
[18:08] Mag
I'm Mag Rosanta.
[18:10] Mag
I also serve as the principal's aide.
[18:13] Mag
It's nice to meet you.
[18:15] Veltol
Maguro Santa? What an odd name.
[18:18] Veltol
Makes me crave sushi.
[18:20] Mag
It's Mag!
[18:21] Mag
Mag Rosanta!
[18:23] Mag
It's not Maguro!
[18:25] Veltol
Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you,
even if our time will be short,
[18:28] Veltol
Maguro.
[18:29] Mag
You aren't listening to me at all.
[18:32] Mag
You do know I am your teacher, right?
[18:36] Takahashi
Hm...
[18:38] Takahashi
Without the Familia,
it's like everything's hazy.
[18:43] Takahashi
Like my vision isn't providing enough data.
[18:47] Machina
It makes me realize that I've been
taking the Familia for granted.
[18:51] Mag
Lu Xel is a prestigious school of
magic built on solid, old traditions.
[18:57] Mag
As such, our school rules
[18:59] Mag
prohibit wearing a Familia
while on school premises.
[19:02] Mag
This helps students learn
the fundamentals of magic
[19:04] Mag
and deepen their understanding of it,
[19:06] Mag
which we believe helps
cultivate talented sorcerers.
[19:10] Veltol
One cannot become a good sorcerer
while relying on one's wand.
[19:16] Veltol
Only touching upon the
abyss of magic, in all its forms,
[19:19] Veltol
can allow one to
understand its true nature.
[19:24] Mag
Enter one at a time when I call upon you.
[19:27] Machina
-Yes.
[19:27] Veltol
-Mhmm.
[19:27] Takahashi
-Got it!
[19:33] Veltol
Now, what shall we do?
[19:35] Takahashi
About what?
[19:36] Veltol
Hey now, Takahashi, it's not like you
to be slow on the uptake.
[19:40] Takahashi
Hm?
[19:41] Veltol
It is customary for exchange students
to first greet the classroom
[19:46] Veltol
in front of the hologram board, right?
[19:48] Veltol
I recently played one
of those adventure games
[19:51] Veltol
set in the schools of
Japan from the old world,
[19:53] Veltol
so I've already gained knowledge
of culture and etiquette.
[19:56] Machina
I've seen that before, too!
[19:58] Machina
I saw something similar in an
anime roughly 80 years ago!
[20:03] Takahashi
Uh-huh...
[20:04] Veltol
I'm exercising my right as
Demon Lord to go first!
[20:09] Veltol
First impressions like
this are very important.
[20:14] Veltol
Ladies and gentlemen!
[20:15] Veltol
I am Veltol Velvet Velsvalt!
[20:19] Veltol
I've come to this Akihabara School of Magic
from the faraway land of Shinjuku
[20:23] Veltol
for a short-term exchange program!
[20:25] Veltol
You should feel honored to
have a man like myself
[20:29] Veltol
leaving his mark upon Akihabara City!
[20:32] Machina
I-I-I'm Machina Soleige!
[20:34] Machina
I'm an expert at all household chores!
[20:36] Machina
My best dish
[20:38] Machina
is curry!
[20:39] Takahashi
Are you looking for a spouse?
[20:40] Takahashi
Hello, hello!
[20:41] Takahashi
I'm the super genius pretty girl
exchange student, Takahashi!
[20:46] Takahashi
My special skill
[20:48] Takahashi
is hacking!
[20:49] Takahashi
Nice meeting you all!
[20:49] Veltol
She's not saying her given name, is she?
[20:52] Machina
It's so cute, too.
[20:53] Mag
Well, Veltol, let's measure your mana
[20:58] Mag
to see what level students
from Shinjuku are on.
[21:01] Mag
Please place your hand
over this magic stone.
[21:04] Veltol
Oh, I should warn you.
[21:07] Veltol
I'll break that.
[21:08] Mag
No, no, no way.
[21:10] Mag
What are you suggesting?
That's not even possible.
[21:17] Mag
I-I-I-Impossible!
[21:25] Takahashi
Why are you the one chuckling, Machina?
[22:59] Kinohara
I'm doing my gacha pulls
for Ishimary right now,
[23:02] Kinohara
so please wait a moment longer.
[23:04] Gram
Yeah, sure.
[23:08] Gram
It's been a long time,
[23:10] Gram
but of course...
[23:12] Gram
Both she and I have changed.
[23:14] Gram
Guess that's natural.
[23:16] Gram
It has been 500 years.
[23:18] Gram
Both her name and appearance have changed,
[23:21] Gram
but she's still here, even in this age.
[23:31] Gram
Meldia.

SIGN Introduction to Modern Magic (29)
[01:34] Mag
And thus,
[01:35] Mag
just as necromancy's soul cloning and
alchemy's homunculi are considered taboo,
[01:41] Mag
spirit channeling is considered an even
greater taboo by the ethics of modern magic.
[01:47] Mag
"Then why do we need to learn about spirit
channeling in modern magic school?"
[01:52] Mag
...is what many would ask.
[01:56] Mag
But that would be a mistake.
[01:57] Mag
In terms of its ability to observe the soul,
[02:01] Mag
spirit channeling has greatly
contributed to the development of—
[02:05] Veltol
What's the matter, Professor Maguro?
[02:07] Veltol
Please continue the lecture.
[02:10] Mag
It's Mag.
[02:11] Mag
Please take proper notes.
[02:14] Veltol
Worry not.
[02:15] Veltol
I have it all memorized.
[02:17] Mag
In that case, the incident I spoke about at the
start of class in year 722 of the Continental Era—
[02:22] Veltol
The Railrod Incident.
[02:23] Veltol
Railrod, a court mage of
the Ruestand Kingdom,
[02:26] Veltol
was experimenting with spirit channeling,
[02:28] Veltol
and he lost control of his body to the
soul of a hero that he channeled.
[02:33] Veltol
That day was quite a disaster.
[02:35] Veltol
I didn't expect Railrod to be so
distracted by his wife's infidelity
[02:38] Veltol
that it would disrupt his spell—
[02:40] Mag
Okay, that's the right answer.
[02:42] Male
Infidelity?
[02:43] Female
Did the professor ever mention that?
[02:45] Female
He talks like he saw it in person.
[02:47] Male
No way, right?
[02:52] Takahashi
Why are you looking so proud, Machina?
[03:04] Female
Hey, look.
[03:05] Female
Are those the exchange students?
[03:06] Female
He's Veltol, right?
[03:07] Hizuki
Weird bunch.
[03:08] Female
The live-streamer?
[03:10] Male
I watched him the other day.
[03:11] Male
Is it really him?
[03:12] Female
Hm...
[03:12] Albert
Are you interested in the
exchange students too,
[03:16] Albert
head of the ruined Reynard Clan,
Lady Hizuki Reynard-Yamada?
[03:21] Hizuki
And what business does the heir of the
noble Heygrams family have with me?
[03:25] Albert
It's a noble's duty to show those
who lack nobility the proper path.
[03:31] Albert
At least, that is my belief.
[03:34] Albert
Yet what are you doing?
[03:37] Albert
You have no talent for magic,
[03:39] Albert
yet you cling to this school
[03:41] Albert
and hang your head in a
corner of the classroom
[03:43] Albert
purely because you're part
of the Three Great Houses.
[03:46] Albert
Calling yourself a noble is a stretch.
[03:52] Albert
You're nothing but the daughter
of an Electric Town man
[03:55] Albert
and an elf with bad taste.
[03:57] Albert
Just a half-elf halfwit.
[04:01] Albert
What's that look for?
[04:04] Hizuki
You can say what you will about me,
[04:07] Hizuki
but I won't let you insult
my mother and father!
[04:11] Albert
I merely stated the truth.
[04:13] Albert
Don't get angry because I tell the truth.
[04:14] Veltol
Cease your screeching.
[04:17] Veltol
Can you not see I am merrily
enjoying a bowl of udon?
[04:20] Albert
And who are you?
[04:22] Veltol
Have you already forgotten the name of a
man who introduced himself this morning?
[04:25] Veltol
And you, little noble?
[04:29] Albert
My apologies, Veltol.
[04:32] Albert
I am Albert Heygrams.
[04:35] Albert
The eldest son of the Heygrams family.
[04:37] Velto
Heygrams?
[04:40] Velto
No matter.
[04:42] Velto
The thing about udon
[04:44] Velto
is that it's meant to be
eaten in silence with focus.
[04:47] Velto
Yet what have we here?
[04:49] Velto
My ears are ringing with hypocritical notions
of nobility and disparaging remarks,
[04:54] Velto
so now my udon is ruined.
[04:57] Albert
You have no right to call me hypocritical
with your fake job of live-streaming.
[05:04] Veltol
Have you been watching my streams?
[05:06] Veltol
Thank you for contributing
to my ad revenue!
[05:09] Albert
I merely heard my classmates mentioning it!
[05:13] Albert
You stand before the eldest son
of the Heygrams family,
[05:15] Albert
and yet you dare—
[05:16] Veltol
Hold on.
[05:17] Veltol
Heygrams...
[05:18] Veltol
Heygrams!
[05:19] Veltol
Ah, so you're the descendant
of Ganfall Heygrams?
[05:23] Albert
H-How do you know the name of our founder?
[05:26] Veltol
I knew it.
[05:28] Veltol
So that coward didn't die after all.
[05:31] Albert
What are you blathering about?
[05:33] Veltol
That takes me back.
[05:35] Veltol
When I stood before him at
the Battle of Stanbolt,
[05:38] Veltol
the pitiful Ganfall Heygrams grew
terrified and fled in disgrace.
[05:42] Veltol
Destiny is full of surprises,
[05:45] Veltol
bringing me bringing me
face-to-face with his descendant.
[05:47] Albert
Such slander!
[05:49] Albert
How dare you insult our founder—
[05:50] Veltol
But, first and foremost...
[05:52] Veltol
You're acting awfully arrogant.
[05:54] Veltol
How can you adopt such an
attitude when you have even less talent
[05:58] Veltol
than the woman you so
wholeheartedly ridicule?
[06:01] Albert
You claim that I'm inferior to her?
[06:04] Albert
Inferior to the defective Reynard?!
[06:09] Albert
It seems I need to teach you how
things are done here at this school.
[06:16] Albert
I challenge you to a duel!
[06:22] Hizuki
This is blowing things out of proportion.
[06:25] Takahashi
Hello, hello!
[06:27] Takahashi
You were having a hard time there, huh?
[06:29] Takahashi
Everyone sure is keeping
their distance from you.
[06:32] Takahashi
What did you do?
[06:33] Machina
Takahashi.
[06:36] Hizuki
They don't like the fact that I'm
attending this school when I'm a failure.
[06:41] Takahashi
Huh.
[06:42] MAchina
A failure?
[06:44] Hizuki
My grades in theory are
actually pretty good.
[06:48] Hizuki
But I can't use magic.
[06:50] Takahashi
Huh? For real?
[06:51] Takahashi
Then why go to a school of magic?
[06:54] Takahashi
Er, sorry.
[06:56] Hizuki
It's fine.
[06:57] Hizuki
I'm used to hearing it.
[06:59] Hizuki
Well, I have my reasons.
[07:02] Takahashi
Hm...
[07:03] Machina
Setting that aside,
I'm surprised they permit duels.
[07:07] Hizuki
One of this school's goals is to
train mages capable of combat.
[07:13] Hizuki
You need to have a teacher
officiating the duel,
[07:15] Hizuki
but as long as you do,
then duels are encouraged.
[07:19] Hizuki
Professor Mag has it rough, though.
[07:22] Hizuki
She's way too nice to people.
[07:25] Mag
Let's get this over with quickly.
[07:27] Mag
Our lunch break will be over soon.
[07:30] Veltol
Well, hold on.
[07:32] Veltol
You there, woman!
[07:34] Veltol
Uh, um... Hijiki!
[07:37] Hizuki
Huh?!
[07:38] Hizuki
It's Hi-zu-ki! Hizuki!
[07:40] Hizuki
I'm not named after seaweed!
[07:43] Veltol
Keep your eyes open and watch closely!
[07:45] Veltol
Witness the brilliant victory
of Veltol Velvet Velsvalt!
[07:50] Albert
You presume you've already won?
[07:52] Albert
How naïve.
[07:54] Albert
Let me explain the sad truth to
our ignorant exchange student.
[07:58] Albert
When in comes to mana release,
mana manipulation, and mana reserves...
[08:04] Albert
I'm the only student in this school who
has received an A+ rating in everything.
[08:09] Albert
In other words, no one at this school
can match me in magical combat!
[08:15] Veltol
I don't know about the others,
[08:17] Veltol
but if you've received that
ranking for mana reserves,
[08:21] Veltol
then that woman you were
ridiculing would rank far higher.
[08:25] Takahashi
Hear that?
[08:26] Hizuki
No, I received an F rating in
mana reserves and practical tests.
[08:31] Machina
Then the school's evaluation must be wrong.
[08:34] Machina
Yes.
[08:36] Machina
Lord Veltol's statements are never wrong.
[08:42] Hizuki
Hey, you, is this woman okay?
[08:45] Hizuki
She's calling her classmate "Lord"?
[08:47] Takahashi
Well, that's normal for her.
[08:50] Albert
If that's how you feel, then prove
you can back up that confidence.
[08:55] Veltol
A simple fight wouldn't be fair to you,
[08:59] Veltol
so I'll add a handicap.
[09:00] Veltol
I will win this duel without
taking a step from this spot.
[09:07] Albert
If you're making an excuse for when
you lose, then it's a bad one.
[09:11] Veltol
It would be a little too immature of me
if I moved during this entertainment.
[09:16] Albert
You are just dead set on
insulting me, aren't you?
[09:19] Veltol
All right, all right.
[09:20] Veltol
Then let's swear an oath.
[09:22] ---
Ah oath?
[09:24] Veltol
That's right.
[09:25] Veltol
If I lose or move even one step from
here, then I'll do anything you ask.
[09:30] Veltol
In return, if I win without taking a step,
[09:33] Veltol
then you'll stop bothering
this woman henceforth.
[09:35] Hizuki
Huh?
[09:36] Veltol
In the classroom and anywhere else.
[09:38] Hizuki
Why?
[09:39] Veltol
The way you went after that
woman earlier was unsightly.
[09:44] Veltol
Do you accept?
[09:45] Albert
Very well.
[09:46] Albert
I don't care about that half-wit anyway.
[09:50] Albert
Though you're the one proposing this
promise, so don't go breaking it.
[09:54] Veltol
I said oath, not promise.
[09:56] Veltol
Surely a noble such as yourself
understands what that means.
[09:59] Albert
Of course.
[10:01] Albert
I shall swear this oath on
my name as Albert Heygrams.
[10:06] Hizuki
You two are his friends, right?
[10:09] Hizuki
You should stop him.
[10:11] Hizuki
Albert's strong.
[10:12] Hizuki
He's didn't become the top student
in the school by chance.
[10:15] Machina
It's fine.
[10:17] Machina
That man doesn't even stand
a one-in-a-million chance.
[10:20] Takahashi
Uh-huh. He'll give that guy a little
something and win lickety-split.
[10:27] Mag
Now then...
[10:28] Mag
I, Professor Mag Rosanta,
shall officiate this duel.
[10:33] Mag
Both parties, please name yourselves.
[10:36] Albert
I am the Heygrams Family's
eldest son, Albert Heygrams.
[10:41] Veltol
I am the Demon Lord plus live-streamer,
Veltol Velvet Velsvalt.
[10:46] Mag
Begin!
[10:51] Albert
All creation gathers here—
[10:52] Veltol
Albert, don't be so disappointing.
[10:57] Veltol
Are you planning to shoot
me with so little mana?
[11:00] Veltol
Don't let your arrogance hold
you back, half-baked mage.
[11:04] Veltol
Fire at me with your full might,
like you're trying to destroy me.
[11:08] Albert
Then don't blame me for what happens!
[11:14] Mag
Settle down!
[11:15] Mag
What's the point in having a duel if you
start trying to kill each other in earnest?!
[11:19] Veltol
This is good.
[11:20] Veltol
Don't interfere, Maguro.
[11:23] Veltol
This will be a lesson for him.
[11:25] Takahashi
Sounds like Velly's enjoying this.
[11:28] Machina
That's because it's been a while since
he had an old-fashioned magic duel.
[11:33] Hizuki
You all are crazy.
[11:36] Albert
All creation gathers here
to fill the vast skies;
[11:39] Albert
my body takes arrow's
shape to defeat my foe!
[11:42] Veltol
A spell's incantation!
[11:44] Veltol
Yes, this is it!
[11:45] Veltol
It's been far too long!
[11:47] Hizuki
You idiot! Run!
[11:49] Hizuki
You'll seriously die!
[11:51] Albert
Aether Arrow!
[12:01] Veltol
Hm... It seems you're not all talk.
[12:07] Takahashi
Oh!
[12:10] Albert
N-No way!
[12:12] Albert
You caught my full-strength
spell with your bare hand?
[12:15] Albert
That's impossible!
[12:16] Veltol
That wasn't bad.
[12:18] Veltol
With another 200 years of training,
[12:20] Veltol
you could become a mildly
entertaining opponent.
[12:25] Veltol
Do not grow so despondent.
[12:27] Veltol
This was the natural outcome.
[12:29] Veltol
Your mana release and mana manipulation
[12:33] Veltol
are excellent for a mortal
of the modern era.
[12:36] Veltol
I'm sure that's the fruit
of your daily training.
[12:39] Veltol
Ganfall has produced good offspring.
[12:41] Albert
Huh?
[12:43] Veltol
I'll apologize for my earlier
rudeness toward your ancestor.
[12:46] Veltol
Also, I shall reward you for
your diligent efforts toward magic.
[12:58] Veltol
Here is a taste of the
true essence of magic.
[13:00] Veltol
Savor it with your body.
[13:15] Hizuki
What was that?
[13:17] Machina
He fired off a mass of compressed mana.
[13:21] Machina
It's an honor to bask directly
in Lord Veltol's mana.
[13:25] Machina
It's wasted on a mortal.
[13:27] Hizuki
You make it sound simple,
[13:29] Hizuki
but that's not something a human
can do, let along a high schooler.
[13:35] Hizuki
Just who is he?
[13:38] Veltol
What's the matter, Maguro?
[13:40] Veltol
Announce the winner.
[13:42] Mag
Oh! The winner is...
[13:45] Mag
Veltol Velvet Velsvalt!
[13:49] Takahashi
Velly's so cool!
[13:53] Veltol
Were you watching, Hijiki?
[13:55] Hizuki
It's Hi-zu-ki!
[13:58] Veltol
I offer this victory to you.
[14:01] Hizuki
Well, um...
[14:03] Hizuki
Thanks.
[14:05] Veltol
Good.
[14:06] Hizuki
Though...
[14:07] Veltol
Hm?
[14:08] Hizuki
You should stay away from me.
[14:11] Hizuki
Or I'm sure you'll face misfortune.
[14:21] Takahashi
Still, man...
[14:23] Takahashi
So there really are stuck-up,
unbearable little rich boys like Albert.
[14:30] Takahashi
He really acted like he lived up on high
in a different world from the rest of us.
[14:37] Machina
That's because the culture of Alnaeth
remains especially strong in Akihabara.
[14:41] Takahashi
I can't use my Familia,
I can't choose my uniform...
[14:45] Takahashi
All schools were like this around
a hundred years ago, right?
[14:49] Takahashi
Makes me realize how glad
I am to be alive in this era.
[14:54] Machina
You could go home by yourself if you want.
[14:57] Takahashi
I'm kidding.
[14:58] Takahashi
I can't go scampering back home
without laying eyes on that treasure.
[15:02] Takahashi
Though I'm surprised we need the
three regalia to open up the treasury.
[15:09] Takahashi
Prospects are looking grim.
[15:11] Takahashi
We still don't even know if the Dark Peers
Records that we're after are inside it.
[15:15] Takahashi
Can't you two just pop it open
with some oomph from your magic?
[15:21] Veltol
That would be possible, but treasuries
sealed with ancient magic
[15:26] Veltol
are typically designed to destroy their
contents if you try to force them open.
[15:31] Veltol
I can't really recommend
that course of action.
[15:33] Machina
We'll just have to gather
the regalia the hard way.
[15:36] Machina
We've already reached an agreement
with the principal regarding the Blade,
[15:39] Machina
so that just leaves two.
[15:40] Takahashi
The Crown is held by the
representative of Electric Town,
[15:44] Takahashi
the head of the Seburd Clan,
Korneah Seburd.
[15:46] Takahashi
I found that with a quick search.
[15:48] Veltol
And the Orb has been lost,
its whereabouts unknown.
[15:52] Takahashi
Nothing we can do about that one, right?
[15:55] Takahashi
We can't find a treasure with no clues.
[15:57] Veltol
No, that's not the case.
[16:00] Takahashi
What do you mean?
[16:01] Machina
Hizuki Reynard-Yamada, right?
[16:03] Veltol
Yes.
[16:04] Takahashi
Reynard?
[16:06] Takahashi
Oh!
[16:07] Veltol
Yes.
[16:09] Veltol
Judging from what Albert said to her,
that girl is the head of the Reynard Clan.
[16:14] Veltol
The loss of the Orb,
the symbol of their authority,
[16:17] Veltol
has to be related to why
they've fallen into ruin.
[16:20] Veltol
That's the lead for our search.
[16:23] Takahashi
So that duel was a strategy to leave
a good impression on that girl!
[16:29] Takahashi
We were all just dancing in the
palm of the villainous Demon Lord!
[16:33] Veltol
No, that brat just pissed me off.
[16:36] Takahashi
So you say, but you still
helped her in the end.
[16:37] Machina
Hey, Takahashi!
[16:40] Takahashi
That's what makes you so cool!
[16:44] Machina
We're almost there.
[16:46] Veltol
What's up ahead?
[16:48] Takahashi
Oh, right.
[16:49] Takahashi
You haven't seen it yet, Velly.
[16:51] Machina
I've only visited once before
myself, but it was amazing.
[16:56] Veltol
Th-This is...
[16:59] Takahashi
Yes!
[17:00] Takahashi
This is the other face of Akihabara!
[17:04] Takahashi
The polar opposite of Magic Town!
[17:05] Takahashi
A city brimming with pleasure and desire!
[17:09] Takahashi
Electric Town!
[17:12] Veltol
Even just seeing it from the outside gives
you a sense of how densely packed it is.
[17:17] Veltol
It's probably a labyrinth inside.
[17:20] Veltol
Now I'm itching to find out how to
conquer it and gather information!
[17:26] Takahashi
Hold it, Velly.
[17:27] Takahashi
There's pandemonium inside.
[17:29] Takahashi
Rumors have it that it'll take you a
whole day to get out if you get lost.
[17:34] Takahashi
That means you'll need a
guide familiar with it.
[17:38] Veltol
I see.
[17:39] Takahashi
And the woman before you now happens to be
[17:42] Takahashi
a super genius pretty girl hacker
who knows all about Electric Town.
[17:46] Takahashi
I'm also an information
gathering specialist.
[17:49] Machina
Meaning?
[17:50] Takahashi
I'm going to take you to the best place for
gathering information in Electric Town.
[17:56] Maid
Welcome home, Master!
[17:59] Takahashi
Oh, three please.
[18:01] Maid
This way, please!
[18:03] Mananan
Thank you for requesting me all the time!
[18:06] Mananan
Mananan's so touched!
[18:09] Ogre
You're always so cute, Mananan-tan!
[18:12] Ogre
Whoops, you're so moe-moe that
I slipped back into my old language.
[18:18] Ogre
It was inevitable.
[18:21] Ogre
Mananan-shi's moe-kyun
level is exceptional.
[18:24] Orc
Right!
[18:25] Orc
To be precise, she's three times more
moe-moe than your average maid.
[18:28] Orc
Ah, Mananan, do you get the reference?
[18:30] Orc
Three times faster than your average model
is a line from a super famous robot anime—
[18:36] Veltol
May I ask you something, Takahashi?
[18:39] Takahashi
Hm? What is it?
[18:41] Veltol
Not that I'm doubting you,
[18:43] Veltol
but can we really gather
information in a place like this?
[18:46] Takahashi
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
[18:48] Takahashi
How naïve, Velly.
[18:49] Takahashi
All kinds of people stop
in to visit maid cafés.
[18:53] Takahashi
And according to my research,
the maids love gossip.
[18:57] Takahashi
So if we want to gather information,
[18:59] Takahashi
then visiting a maid café
makes logical sense.
[19:03] Takahashi
Taverns are the go-to place for gathering
information in games, right?
[19:06] Takahashi
These maid cafés are pretty
much like taverns.
[19:09] Takahashi
They even serve liquor here.
[19:11] Veltol
I see.
[19:12] Veltol
I had assumed we came
here just to sightsee.
[19:17] Veltol
Forgive me.
[19:18] Takahashi
No way. It's not like that at all.
[19:22] Machina
There's a unique atmosphere
to this place, isn't there?
[19:25] Machina
It's hard to put into words,
[19:29] Machina
but there's definitely a unique atmosphere.
[19:33] Takahashi
Machina, you say a lot of
nothing sometimes.
[19:36] Machina
Setting that aside, aren't
these prices far too high?
[19:41] Takahashi
Machina! You big idiot!
[19:43] Machina
Wh-What's gotten into you?
[19:44] Takahashi
These are the prices of dreams!
[19:48] Takahashi
Fulfilling the dream of having a maid
[19:51] Takahashi
adorned in a cute outfit
serving you hand and foot!
[19:53] Takahashi
That is what you pay extra for!
[19:56] Otaku
Mhmm!
[19:57] Veltol
We've had plenty of butlers and maidservants
[19:59] Veltol
taking care of us without needing
to buy the "dream," though.
[20:02] Machina
Yes. Though it has been an
awfully long time for me.
[20:06] Takahashi
That's right.
[20:07] Takahashi
You two were basically
nobility and royalty.
[20:11] Takahashi
I always forget you two
are dreams in the flesh.
[20:14] Veltol
Though the service here
[20:14] OrcMaid
You know so much, Master!
[20:16] Veltol
isn't like what I remember
our servants providing.
[20:17] Customer
You should watch it too, Akebi-chan.
[20:19] Takahashi
Well, this is what real maids are like.
[20:22] Veltol
Is that true?
[20:23] Machina
Nuh-uh.
[20:26] Takahashi
I'm sure you two will be fine,
but one of my friends got banned
[20:32] Takahashi
after harassing a maid until
she told him to stay away,
[20:35] Takahashi
so be careful.
[20:36] Machina
Takahashi, you need to think
about who you associate with.
[20:41] Veltol
Stay away, huh...
[20:44] Machina
Is something the matter?
[20:46] Veltol
No, just recalling what
that Reynard girl said.
[20:50] Veltol
Something about that has been bugging me.
[20:53] Machina
She told us to stay away from her.
[20:56] Machina
I spoke with her a bit,
[20:58] Machina
and it seemed like she was
deliberately avoiding people.
[21:02] Veltol
I see.
[21:03] Takahashi
Given how she was,
[21:04] Takahashi
I think forcing her to interact with us would have the opposite effect.
[21:08] Takahashi
We still have plenty of time on our exchange
program, so let's be patient with her.
[21:12] Machina
We do want to avoid confrontation.
[21:15] Machina
She doesn't seem like a bad girl,
so even setting the regalia issue aside,
[21:19] Machina
she's someone I'd personally
like to get along with.
[21:23] Takahashi
Yeah.
[21:25] Takahashi
All right! So let's end that talk
there and call our maid over!
[21:29] Machina
Takahashi, we were having
a serious discussion—
[21:32] Takahashi
Oh, they even have a request system!
[21:35] Takahashi
Then let's ask for the maid
with the biggest boobs!
[21:38] Machina
Takahashi, are you listening to me?
[21:41] Takahashi
You're so serious, Machina.
[21:43] Takahashi
We should enjoy ourselves since
we've come all the way here.
[21:46] Machina
That's not the issue—
[21:47] Hizuki
Sorry for the wait!
[21:49] Hizuki
Master! May I take your—
[21:54] Hizuki
Aaugh!
[21:56] Veltol
Hm?
Oh, my.
Huh?

You have my praise.

Thank you very much!
[04:08] Veltol
You may relax now.
[04:17] Takahashi
Hey! That's mine...
[04:22] Veltol
You're the head of the
Reynard Clan, correct?
[04:27] Veltol
I have need of the regalia.
[04:31] Hizuki
Why?
[04:32] Veltol
To rule the world.
[04:34] Hizuki
What are you talking about?
[04:36] Veltol
I'd like to open the treasury beneath
the Akihabara School of Magic
[04:40] Veltol
and confirm what's inside.
[04:44] Hizuki
Sorry, but that's not possible.
[04:47] Veltol
Because you've lost your regalia?
[04:51] Veltol
I heard from Tratte.
[04:54] Hizuki
Yes.
[04:55] Hizuki
And because of that, my clan is ruined.
[04:58] Hizuki
Now I'm just a poor student working
a part time-job to survive.
[05:02] Takahashi
What are the regalia
supposed to be, anyway?
[05:05] Hizuki
You don't even know that much
and you still want them?
[05:08] Takahashi
Those two are the ones who are after them.
[05:11] Takahashi
I'm just tagging along.
[05:14] Hizuki
Those objects serve as proof
of the owner's kingship.
[05:20] Hizuki
According to what my
parents said long ago—
[05:23] Meldia
I'm sorry.
[05:27] Hizuki
Five hundred years ago, after the
Hero Gram defeated the Demon Lord,
[05:31] Hizuki
the goddess Meldia took a liking to him
[05:34] Hizuki
and bestowed upon him
the regalia, territory,
[05:37] Hizuki
vast treasures, and her blessing.
[05:40] Hizuki
Afterwards, the Hero Gram was exiled
[05:42] Hizuki
by the king, who was
known for his incompetence.
[05:45] Hizuki
Before absconding, Gram ceded
the regalia to someone.
[05:51] Hizuki
That man was King Lu Xel the 2nd,
[05:54] Hizuki
the founder of the current
Three Great Houses.
[05:56] Hizuki
When that king passed on the throne,
[05:59] Hizuki
he entrusted the regalia and the
kingdom to his three sons.
[06:04] Hizuki
Though it proved impossible
for them to get along
[06:06] Hizuki
and share the authority
and wealth they'd received.
[06:08] Hizuki
They formed three opposing factions,
[06:11] Hizuki
and after an absolute bloodbath,
[06:13] Hizuki
they came to govern this land
using a parliamentary system.
[06:17] Hizuki
That was the inception of Akihabara
and the Three Great Houses.
[06:21] Hizuki
Things are significantly better now,
[06:23] Hizuki
but somehow that resentment lingers on.
[06:25] Veltol
So that's the reason the seal
hasn't been undone for 500 years.
[06:29] Veltol
How trifling.
[06:31] Hizuki
It doesn't matter since the Orb is gone.
[06:34] Hizuki
So asking me about it is pointless.
[06:37] Veltol
I know that.
[06:39] Veltol
What I'd like to request is for you to
put us in contact with Korneah Seburd.
[06:43] Hizuki
I imagine he'd meet with
you if I came along.
[06:47] Veltol
Could we ask you to do that?
[06:49] Hizuki
Well, I do owe you guys...
[06:52] Takahashi
Hizuki! You're so kind!
[06:52] Hizuki
Wha?! Hey! Don't cling to me!
[06:58] Veltol
That was incredibly loud.
[07:00] Machina
Yes.
[07:01] Veltol
The pancakes weren't enough
for you, after all?
[07:04] Machina
Huh?!
[07:05] Machina
I-It wasn't me!
[07:07] Veltol
You don't have to hide it.
[07:08] Veltol
Go on, order something.
[07:09] Veltol
Do you want the omelet rice?
[07:10] Machina
It really wasn't me!
[07:15] Mob
Hey, look.
[07:16] Mob
Yeah. What are Magic Town
students doing here?
[07:22] Machina
You sure eat a lot, Hizuki.
[07:26] Takahashi
Man, you're pretty incredible,
getting an appointment
[07:29] Takahashi
with the most powerful man in
Electric Town on such short notice.
[07:35] Hizuki
It's not like I'm amazing or anything.
[07:38] Hizuki
Also, we don't want to barge
in with too many people,
[07:40] Hizuki
so only one of you can come
with me to see Korneah.
[07:44] Veltol
Then I shall go.
[07:48] Veltol
This is good.
[07:49] Machina
It's not called a meat town for nothing.
[07:54] Machina
It goes perfectly with the yogurt sauce!
[07:57] Hizuki
It's still too costly to grow genetically
modified pork and chicken,
[08:02] Hizuki
but the beef you're eating now
is actually cheaper to create.
[08:07] Takahashi
Yet there's still demand for pork and
chicken anyway, despite the cost issue.
[08:13] Takahashi
Expensive meat is delicious!
[08:16] MAchina
What meat is that you're eating, Hizuki?
[08:19] Hizuki
Hm?
[08:20] Hizuki
Dragon meat.
[08:23] Machina
Dragon?
[08:23] Velotol
Dragon, huh?
[08:24] Hizuki
Huh? What's that look for?
[08:26] Takahashi
Oh, the Black Dragon, Sihlwald.
[08:29] Veltol
Yes.
[08:30] Veltol
It doesn't feel right to eat meat
from the same species as my vassal.
[08:33] Machina
I'm hesitant to eat it, too.
[08:35] Hizuki
That's all well and good.
[08:37] Hizuki
But if you're just being picky,
you should try a bite first.
[08:39] Hizuki
Or are you afraid to eat it?
[08:43] Veltol
You insolent little girl!
[08:45] Machina
It's been a long time since
anyone spoke to us like that!
[08:52] Veltol
This is surprisingly good!
[08:53] Machina
It's like beef that tastes like chicken.
[08:57] Veltol
Maybe we should have
tried eating this sooner.
[09:00] Machina
It would regenerate right away
since they're immortal, too.
[09:04] Machina
We could have harvested a lot.
[09:05] Veltol
Hey now, it would disappear
once regenerated.
[09:11] Takahashi
Your immortal joke's going too far.
[09:11] MAchina
Oh, that's right.
[09:16] Takahashi
Hizuki!
[09:18] Takahashi
Gimme your Familia address!
[09:21] Hizuki
Huh? No way!
[09:23] Takahashi
Gah!
[09:25] Takahashi
Boo-hoo-hoo...
[09:26] Hizuki
I'm kidding. I'll share it.
[09:30] Machina
Good for you, Takahashi.
[09:32] Hizuki
What is that dance?
[09:34] Guard
Um, do you have a moment?
[09:36] Guard
You're students from Magic Town, right?
[09:39] Guard
That girl with you is the
Reynard lady, right?
[09:42] Takahashi
Huh? U-Um...
[09:42] Guard
That's not good.
[09:44] Guard
We can't have students from
Magic Town loitering around here.
[09:49] Guard
Could you come with us for a bit?
[09:51] Tratte
Stop that at once.
[09:53] Guard
Tratte Götel.
[09:55] Tratte
Do the guards here arrest students
for little more than eating?
[10:01] Guard
Tsk! Let's go.
[10:04] Tratte
That was an embarrassing sight
for you out-of-towners to see.
[10:09] Tratte
Especially when both Electric Town
and Magic Town should be united.
[10:13] Takahashi
Man, you were a big help there.
[10:16] Hizuki
Good evening, Principal Tratte.
[10:18] Tratte
Good evening Ms. Reynard.
[10:21] Tratte
So, what are you all doing here?
[10:25] Veltol
We were having Hizuki show
us around Akihabara.
[10:28] Tratte
My, my.
[10:30] Hizuki
And you, Principal?
[10:31] Tratte
I'm meeting up with Mag.
[10:33] Tratte
Have you seen her?
[10:35] Veltol
I have not.
[10:37] Tratte
I see.
[10:39] Tratte
Ms. Reynard, may we speak for a moment?
[10:42] Hizuki
Huh?
[10:44] Veltol
Takahashi, it seems the shop
over there is frying karaage.
[10:49] Takahashi
Oh, are we going then?
[10:51] Machina
I'll come with you.
[10:53] Takahashi
Freshly fried! Freshly fried!
[10:57] Takahashi
Freshly fried! Freshly fried!
[11:00] Tratte
I'm glad to see you've made
good friends, Hizuki.
[11:05] Hizuki
They're not really my friends.
[11:08] Hizuki
Well, what did you want to talk about?
[11:12] Tratte
My offer.
[11:14] Hizuki
Uh, what offer?
[11:17] Tratte
Goodness, must you always be like this?
[11:20] Tratte
My offer to adopt you.
[11:23] Tratte
If you're willing to accept,
[11:25] Tratte
then I'm ready to take you in at any time.
[11:29] Hizuki
If you side with me like that,
[11:31] Hizuki
then the other nobles will ostracize you.
[11:34] Tratte
Don't worry about me.
[11:36] Tratte
I just want you to live a happy life.
[11:42] Hizuki
I have to protect the Reynard Clan.
[11:47] Hizuki
For my mother and father as well.
[11:52] Tratte
All right.
[11:53] Tratte
But just remember this:
[11:58] Tratte
I've been your ally from the
moment you were born, Hizuki.
[12:07] Hizuki
Thank you for everything, Ms. Tratte.
[12:13] Tratte
Well, I'll be going now.
[12:16] Tratte
Have fun with the exchange students.
[12:19] Hizuki
I will.
[12:24] Meldia
I'm sorry.
[12:27] Takahashi
Hizuki?
[12:28] Takahashi
You okay?
[12:30] Takahashi
You don't look well.
[12:33] Hizuki
I'm fine.
[12:34] Takahashi
But—
[12:35] Hizuki
I really am fine.
[12:38] Hizuki
Don't worry about it.
[12:45] Meral
Sorry to keep you waiting.
[12:47] Meral
I serve as Korneah's assistant.
[12:50] Meral
My name is Meral.
[12:52] Meral
It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[12:54] Meral
Mr. Korneah will be meeting with you today,
[12:57] Meral
so please forgive us while
we perform a body scan.
[13:09] Meral
Thank you for your cooperation.
[13:11] Meral
Allow me to lead the way.
[13:14] Korneah
Yo!
[13:15] Korneah
I'm the Head of the Seburd Clan,
Korneah Seburd.
[13:19] Hizuki
Thank you very much for taking time
out of your busy schedule to see us.
[13:23] Korneah
When a cute girl like you comes to visit,
I'm always happy to welcome you.
[13:30] Korneah
So, is this the guy who
says he wants to meet me?
[13:35] Veltol
I am Veltol Velvet Velsvalt.
[13:38] Korneah
Veltol.
[13:41] Veltol
I had assumed all of the
Three Great Houses were of elven blood,
[13:44] Veltol
but I see that you're a goblin.
[13:46] Hizuki
Hey!
[13:47] Korneah
Oh? That's quite the attitude to
display to someone you just met.
[13:51] Veltol
I have a habit of speaking my mind.
[13:55] Hizuki
I-I'm sorry, Korneah!
[13:59] Korneah
I ain't bothered by that.
[14:02] Korneah
Bloodlines don't mean anything.
[14:04] Korneah
I used to be just a simple merchant,
[14:07] Korneah
but I clawed my way up from the bottom,
shedding blood, sweat, and tears.
[14:12] Korneah
My upbringing wasn't so great.
[14:14] Korneah
Wound up takin' care of old man Seburd,
[14:17] Korneah
and he took a shine to me.
[14:19] Korneah
I did one thing after another,
and 'fore I knew it, I had his name.
[14:23] Korneah
So there ain't a drop of
Lu Xel blood in my veins.
[14:27] Korneah
So...
[14:28] Korneah
What did you want from me?
[14:30] Veltol
I came to ask you about the regalia.
[14:33] Korneah
Oh?
[14:38] Korneah
This is the Seburd Clan's
regalia, the Crown.
[14:42] Veltol
A soul armament?
[14:44] Korneah
Similar, but that ain't it.
[14:46] Korneah
The regalia were made
using fragments of power
[14:50] Korneah
cut away from the goddess Meldia.
[14:53] Korneah
You could say they're
materialized fragments of her soul.
[14:58] Korneah
And that can be stored
within the owner's soul.
[15:01] Korneah
So unless I, the owner,
give it up, or get murked,
[15:04] Korneah
it'll never leave my side.
[15:06] Veltol
So if I were to kill you,
then I could obtain it.
[15:15] Veltol
My jest has gone too far.
[15:18] Korneah
What an interestin' guy.
[15:20] Veltol
Might I borrow that for a while?
[15:23] Korneah
Huh?
[15:24] Veltol
There is a chance the object
I'm searching for lies within the treasury.
[15:29] Veltol
I'd like to find out for sure.
[15:31] Korneah
Doesn't sound like you're
after the treasure.
[15:34] Veltol
My goal is world conquest.
[15:38] Korneah
Sounds like you've got two or
three screws loose in your head.
[15:43] Korneah
But Hizuki brought you to me,
[15:45] Korneah
So I'm willing to trust you to
a little. I won't pry too deep.
[15:50] Korneah
You mind?
[15:51] Hizuki
Go ahead.
[15:52] Korneah
Thanks.
[15:59] Korneah
Akihabara is currently bound
by crusty old traditions.
[16:05] Korneah
I want to shatter that atmosphere,
[16:09] Korneah
but the stubborn folk in
Magic Town, especially those
[16:11] Korneah
clinging to their vested interests,
just can't understand.
[16:15] Korneah
Even though this town needs to be
reborn anew for the sake of its future.
[16:22] Korneah
So you're asking me if you
can borrow my regalia,
[16:25] Korneah
but even if I were to allow that,
there'd be no point.
[16:29] Korneah
You'd need one person to come into possession
[16:33] Korneah
of all the regalia to release
the seal on the treasury.
[16:36] Korneah
Which also means going through the
process of becoming this city's true king.
[16:42] Veltol
Reuniting the fragments of the
goddess' soul into one body...
[16:45] Veltol
So obtaining them also serves as a
ritual to summon the goddess.
[16:49] Korneah
Yeah.
[16:50] Korneah
Once all the regalia come together,
[16:52] Korneah
they'll be able to draw out
the goddess's true power.
[16:56] Korneah
All this talk about noble blood and
symbols of rulership is bullcrap.
[17:00] Korneah
Bringing the regalia together
is still the quickest way.
[17:03] Korneah
Tratte's probably thinking the same.
[17:06] Korneah
She wants the regalia to protect
this town's traditions.
[17:09] Korneah
I want the regalia to change this town.
[17:13] Korneah
Both of us are right.
[17:16] Korneah
Sorry, but could everyone other
than this guy leave the room?
[17:22] Korneah
I don't know what your true intentions
behind wanting the three regalia are,
[17:27] Korneah
but would you let me in on it, too?
[17:30] Korneah
I'll tell you everything I know in return.
[17:34] Korneah
Since we're joining hands,
I'll share a little secret.
[17:37] Korneah
Something I don't
want that girl hearing.
[17:43] Korneah
The Orb is somewhere close by.
[17:46] Korneah
I don't know its exact location,
[17:49] Korneah
but the owners of the regalia can feel the
others as long as they're here in Akihabara.
[17:55] Korneah
The same is likely true for Tratte.
[17:58] Korneah
But I want you to do me a favor.
[18:02] Korneah
I want you to help that girl, Hizuki.
[18:06] Korneah
She may be acting tough,
but she's surprisingly weak.
[18:10] Korneah
Freeing that girl from
the chains of this city
[18:13] Korneah
is one of the reasons I want to change it.
[18:16] Korneah
I owe that girl's father a huge debt.
[18:19] Korneah
He died before I got a chance to repay him.
[18:22] Korneah
So the least I can do
is look out for her.
[18:27] Korneah
According to the records,
that girl inherited the Orb
[18:30] Korneah
from her predecessor
when she was just a kid.
[18:33] Korneah
The key to the regalia's whereabouts
[18:36] Korneah
is Hizuki.

Machina! Sorry for the wait!
[18:53] Takahashi
Sorry, haggling over the price took a while.
[18:57] Machina
I didn't wait that long, so it's fine.
[19:00] Takahashi
Oh? What did you buy?
[19:02] Machina
Ah, I just bought a book...

What? Let me see, let me see!
[19:07] Takahashi
Is it a naughty one?
[19:08] Machina
Wha?! No!
[19:10] Machina
You're getting too worked up!
[19:14] Machina
Takahashi, are you really okay with this?
[19:18] Takahashi
Hm? With what?
[19:20] Machina
The exchange program.
[19:21] Machina
You didn't have to come with us.
[19:23] Takahashi
You think I'm in the way?
[19:25] Machina
That's not it.
[19:27] Takahashi
I'm getting proper school credits,
[19:31] Takahashi
so it's not a problem.
[19:32] Takahashi
Man, you really act like an
older sister sometimes, Machina.
[19:36] Machina
I am older than you, you know.
[19:39] Takahashi
I doubt there are many who're
older than you, Machina.
[19:43] Machina
I was a relative newcomer to
the Six Dark Peers, though.
[19:47] Takahashi
Really?
[19:48] Machina
Only May the Mournful Firmament
was younger than me.
[19:52] Machina
Well, May had a bit of
a complicated history,
[19:55] Machina
so it's not really right to count
her as one of the young ones.
[20:00] Takahashi
Were you close with this May person then?
[20:03] Machina
I was.
[20:05] Machina
May really was like a cute
little sister to me.

Hm...
[20:12] Machina
What is it?
[20:13] Takahashi
Nothing.
[20:15] Takahashi
Ugh, is Velly gonna take forever?
[20:20] Machina
May... I hope she's alive, safe and sound.
[20:24] Takahashi
Oh?
[20:25] Takahashi
Isn't that the principal?
[20:27] Takahashi
Hey! Principal!
[20:34] Takahashi
She's gone.
[20:36] Veltol
I got Korneah on our side!
[20:39] Takahashi
Then you already obtained the Crown?
[20:41] Veltol
I'm hesitant to say that
we've obtained it,
[20:44] Veltol
but we did receive some
useful information.
[20:47] Veltol
Thanks to Hizuki.
[20:49] Machina
Thank you very much, Hizuki.
[20:52] Hizuki
No, I didn't do anything.
[20:57] Takahashi
Hey, hey, hey,
[20:58] Takahashi
what are we doing after this?
[20:59] Machina
I'd like to browse doujishi—
old book shops a little more.
[21:03] Veltol
I want to try going to an arcade!
[21:05] Takahashi
Ahh, but it's already getting pretty late.
[21:09] Takahashi
Assuming we'll hit up those
places tomorrow,
[21:11] Takahashi
we should head back to

[21:14] Takahashi
Or we could go spend the

Huh?

Oh, that's a great idea.

I don't mind.
[21:24] Hizuki
I do mind!

Besides, why would you

How was someone with no talent
able to get into our school?
[01:36] (Flashback) Classmate
On the principal's
recommendation, apparently.
[01:39] (Flashback) Classmate
Huh? So nepotism?
[01:42] (Flashback) Friend
Hizuki Reynard-Yamada!
[01:45] (Flashback) Friend
Yoo-hoo!
[01:46] (Flashback) Hizuki
Who are you?
[01:48] (Flashback) Friend
I just introduced myself!
[01:50] (Flashback) Hizuki
You shouldn't try to talk to me.
[01:53] (Flashback) Hizuki
If the others think we're friends,
you'll be ostracized by our class.
[01:58] (Flashback) Friend
Then let's just be friends!
[02:00] (Flashback) Hizuki
Huh?
[02:01] (Flashback) Friend
I prefer having just a few friends.
[02:07] Meldia
I'm sorry.
[02:11] (Flashback) Classmate
That girl transferred in, right?
[02:14] (Flashback) Classmate
Raising a hand to her
only friend? Dumb bitch.
[02:17] (Flashback) Classmate
But it was totally disregarded.
[02:19] (Flashback) Classmate
Normally, that'd earn an expulsion.
[02:20] Hizuki
Forgive me...
[02:23] (Flashback) Doctor
I've heard the Reynard Clan has a familial

[02:28] (Flashback) Doctor
but I'm not detecting any

[04:08] Veltol
I'll allow it.
[04:09] Takahashi
Why don't the four of us have a
little fighting game tournament?
[04:13] Machina
Wow! That sounds fun.
[04:15] Veltol
Hmm. That's a proposal I can't
ignore as a game streamer.
[04:20] Hizuki
Why are you moving things
along on your own?
[04:23] Veltol
You don't like playing games?
[04:24] Hizuki
Huh? Well...
[04:26] Veltol
I get it, Hijiki.
[04:28] Veltol
You've lost your nerve
to face me, haven't you?
[04:31] Hizuki
Huh?!
[04:35] Game
K.O.
[04:37] Game
Player 2 - Wins!
[04:41] Hizuki
I'll never lose to someone who eats low
attacks, overheads, and cross-ups.
[04:45] Hizuki
No way.
[04:46] Takahashi
For real?
[04:49] Takahashi
You're amazing!
[04:51] Machina
Lord Veltol, you couldn't
win a single match.
[04:53] Takahashi
I'm surprised you could do so well
with such an old input device.
[04:57] Takahashi
Go against me next, Hizuki!
[05:00] Machina
I'd like to request a match as well.
[05:03] Hizuki
Jeez, what am I going to do with you?
[05:06] Takahashi
I'm not gonna lose, Hizuki!
[05:07] Veltol
Don't lose, Takahashi.
[05:07] Hizuki
There! Right, right, right!
[05:08] Veltol
Show her our power!
[05:18] Hizuki
Huh?
[05:20] Veltol
Oh, it's you, Hijiki.
[05:22] Hizuki
Wha?!
[05:23] Hizuki
H-Hiji...
[05:24] Veltol
I can understand wanting
to behold my royal figure,
[05:26] Hizuki
I-It's...
[05:28] Veltol
but I think trying to peep while
I am bathing is a bit too bold, is it not?
[05:29] Hizuki
H-Hizuki, okay?
[05:33] Veltol
Phew, oh well.
[05:36] Veltol
I shall permit it this time.
[05:38] Hizuki
Wait? Why?
[05:40] Hizuki
All the lights were off, right?
[05:42] Veltol
As one who loves the night,
[05:44] Hizuki
Huh?
[05:44] Veltol
it is natural for me to bask in darkness.
[05:47] Hizuki
I guess it was my fault
for not checking first.
[05:51] Hizuki
Tell me when you're out.
[05:54] Veltol
I understand, Hijiki.
[05:56] Veltol
You must be feeling intimidated with
my perfect body displayed before you.
[06:00] Hizuki
Huh?!
[06:01] Hizuki
I-I-I-I'm not scared, okay?!
[06:03] Veltol
No, it's fine.
[06:05] Veltol
Soaking in the bath
beside my peerless body
[06:10] Veltol
would force you to compare
the beauty of it to your own,
[06:13] Veltol
whether you wished to or not.
[06:15] Veltol
Well, you seem to possess
quite a nice one yourself,
[06:19] Veltol
but mine is better.
[06:21] Hizuki
D-Don't make fun of me!
[06:24] Hizuki
Taking a bath with you is nothing!
[06:31] Hizuki
What did you talk about once I left?
[06:33] Hizuki
With Korneah.
[06:35] Veltol
I heard you received your
regalia from your predecessor.
[06:40] Hizuki
I see.
[06:43] Hizuki
Why...
[06:45] Hizuki
did you pay any attention to me?
[06:48] Hizuki
At the cafeteria, and at Electric Town...
[06:53] Hizuki
It's because I'm the head of
the Reynard Clan, isn't it?
[06:57] Veltol
You're awfully self-conscious, aren't you?
[07:00] Hizuki
Huh?
[07:00] Veltol
I simply follow my heart.
[07:04] Veltol
The results of the duel were
a bonus to avenging my udon.
[07:08] Veltol
Though it would be different now.
[07:11] Veltol
We've shared meals together.
[07:13] Veltol
We're friends.
[07:16] Veltol
You have done well.
[07:18] Veltol
You've cherished your parents, worked to
earn a living, and protected your clan.
[07:23] Veltol
Your cooking is also so-so.
[07:25] Veltol
That pasta was a Hijiki, right?
[07:27] Hizuki
No, it was bolognese—
[07:29] Hizuki
Wait, my name's Hizuki!
[07:31] Veltol
You're also skilled at games.
[07:33] Hizuki
You're just mediocre.
[07:36] Veltol
I've gotten quite a lot better than I was.
[07:38] Hizuki
Besides, Machina was
the one with real skills.
[07:41] Veltol
I thought the same.
[07:44] Hizuki
I haven't gotten that fired up in a while.
[07:47] Hizuki
Did you have fun?
[07:49] Veltol
Yes.
[07:51] Veltol
And you?
[07:59] Hizuki
I was happy.
[08:01] Hizuki
Genuinely.
[08:05] Veltol
Was that a framed photo of
you when you were younger?
[08:08] Hizuki
Hmm? Yeah.
[08:11] Veltol
You hid it because there's something
you don't want others to know.
[08:15] Hizuki
Yes.
[08:18] Veltol
It's difficult to ask you about yourself.
[08:26] Hizuki
Fine, already.
[08:28] Hizuki
I'll tell you.
[08:30] Hizuki
I'll share my secrets.
[08:49] (Flashback) Hizuki
Saya!
[08:50] (Flashback) Hizuki
Gilnore!
[08:51] (Flashback) Hizuki
Morning!
[08:53] (Flashback) Both
Good morning.
[08:55] (Flashback) Hizuki
Guess what day it is!
[08:57] (Flashback) Saya
It's your birthday, Lady Hizuki.
[09:00] (Flashback) Hizuki
That's right!
[09:03] (Flashback) Both
Congratulations.
[09:06] (Flashback) Hizuki
Thank you!
[09:08] (Flashback) Hizuki
Birthday, birthday!
[09:11] (Flashback) Saya
Look at Lady Hizuki having such fun.
[09:14] (Flashback) Gilnore
Thinking of her as the cursed child of
Magic Town and Electric Town feels like a lie.
[09:19] Saya
I only hope that nothing happens to Lady Hizuki
until she's ready to stand on her own.
[09:22] Sign
I'll kill you
[09:25] (Flashback) Hizuki
Hm...
[09:27] (Flashback) Father
Have you decided on one?
[09:29] (Flashback) Hizuki
A lady takes a while to shop!
[09:32] (Flashback) Hizuki
Honestly, you don't understand women, Dad!
[09:35] Passerby
Tsk. What did they come here for?
[09:38] (Flashback) Passerby
Family of traitors.
[09:39] (Flashback) Passerby
Get lost already.
[09:41] (Flashback) Mother
That's right.
[09:43] (Flashback) Mother
What should we do, dear?
[09:45] (Flashback) Father
All right, I know!
[09:50] (Flashback) Mother
Wasn't that nice, Hizuki?
[09:52] (Flashback) Hizuki
Yeah!
[09:53] (Flashback) Father
Do you see me in a new light now?
[09:55] (Flashback) Hizuki
Kind of.
[09:57] (Flashback) Father
Harsh.
[09:58] (Flashback) Hizuki
You still have a long way to go.
[09:58] Both
Happy birthday to you!
[10:02] (Flashback) Both
Happy birthday to you!
[10:06] (Flashback) Both
Happy birthday, dear Hizuki!
[10:11] (Flashback) Both
Happy birthday to you!
[10:20] (Flashback) Mother
I'm sorry.
[10:24] Meldia
I'm sorry.
[10:27] (Flashback) Doctor
You and your mother were collapsed
in front of the hospital.
[10:31] (Flashback) Doctor
Her wounds were far
more severe than yours.
[10:34] (Flashback) Doctor
We did everything we could, but...
[10:38] Hizuki
Forgive me...
[10:41] (Flashback) Korneah
The thing I'm worried about
[10:42] (Flashback) Korneah
is the fact that records state the girl
has already inherited the regalia.
[10:46] (Flashback) Tratte
It seems Hizuki is unaware of that herself.
[10:50] (Flashback) Korneah
Either way, that's probably the
reason she was also a target.
[10:55] (Flashback) Tratte
Any ideas who the culprit was?
[10:57] (Flashback) Korneah
If I had any leads, I'd have
killed them already myself.
[11:01] (Flashback) Tratte
Hizuki is still so little, though.
[11:05] (Flashback) Korneah
Just means we gotta look out for her.
[11:07] (Flashback) Korneah
We both owe her that much, right?
[11:10] (Flashback) Tratte
True.
[11:12] (Flashback) Tratte
We owe it to the two who
died protecting her, too.
[11:17] Hizuki
Forgive me...
[11:23] Hizuki
The reason I'm living in Akihabara like this
[11:26] Hizuki
is because my mother and father wanted
me to live as a noble of this town.
[11:33] Hizuki
But honestly, this city can...
[11:37] Hizuki
Everyone who gets involved with
me ends up hurt and leaves me.
[11:41] Sign
Doctor's Body Found
[11:42] Hizuki
So I decided it was better not to
get close to anyone from the start.
[11:43] Sign
Five Suspects Dead
[11:48] Hizuki
I...
[11:54] Hizuki
I will never be happy.
[11:59] Veltol
It must have been difficult
to share such a past openly.
[12:04] Veltol
Thank you, my friend.
[12:06] Hizuki
Well, now that you know my secrets,
[12:10] Hizuki
will you forgive me
no matter what happens?
[12:13] Veltol
I swear it as an oath on my
name as Veltol Velvet Velsvalt.
[12:20] Hizuki
Now you're showing off too much!
[12:23] Hizuki
Thank you.
[12:24] Veltol
I am a splendidly handsome man—
[12:28] Veltol
Cherish this memory of bathing
with me for the rest of your life!
[12:33] Hizuki
No, I won't!
[12:33] Veltol
Wait.
[12:35] Hizuki
Huh?
[12:36] Veltol
Sadly, it seems my relaxation
has come to an end.
[12:41] Veltol
Who are you?
[12:42] Faceless(Mag)
You may call me Faceless.
[12:45] Faceless(Mag)
Let's say I'm a Hero with the Guild.
[12:51] Faceless(Mag)
I have a request for you.
[12:54] Faceless(Mag)
We'd like you to withdraw
from this city immediately.
[12:58] Faceless(Mag)
Marcus was a member of our organization,
[13:01] Faceless(Mag)
and defeating him directly has
marked you as an extreme threat.
[13:06] Faceless(Mag)
If you all comply with our request,
[13:08] Faceless(Mag)
then we promise no harm
will come to any of you.
[13:12] Faceless(Mag)
We will also deal with the treasury
beneath the school for you.
[13:15] Veltol
This is out of the question.
[13:17] Veltol
Don't act so conceited, you fool!
[13:22] Veltol
There is only one man in this
world who may stand before me
[13:26] Veltol
and call himself the Hero.
[13:29] Veltol
Any others who dare claim that
title warrant execution.
[13:34] Faceless(Mag)
Then negotiations have failed.
[13:37] Faceless(Mag)
I'll excuse myself for tonight.
[13:41] Faceless(Mag)
Oh, one last thing.
[13:46] Faceless(Mag)
Akihabara City will change.
[14:10] Tratte
Quite the stringent check.
[14:12] Korneah
You're doing the same, right?
[14:22] Korneah
We had nothing to do with
Mag Rosanta's accident, you know.
[14:27] Tratte
No, that's not what brings me here today.
[14:32] Korneah
Then what is it?
[14:36] Tratte
I've come for the Crown.
[14:42] Student
Did you hear?
[14:44] Student
They say the body found at
the scene was Professor Mag.
[14:47] Student
No way, that's fake, right?
[14:49] Student
Apparently it's true.
[14:50] Student
I heard other students
talking about it earlier.
[14:53] Student
She was caught in that explosion? Brutal.
[14:57] Student
Blown to pieces, huh?
[14:59] Announcer
Breaking news.
[15:00] Announcer
The head of the Korneah Trading Company,
[15:02] Announcer
Korneah Seburd has been murdered.
[15:04] Announcer
The Electric Town City Guard
[15:07] Announcer
has designated Tratte Götel, the acting
principal of the School of Magic,
[15:10] Announcer
as their key suspect in the murder,
and are actively searching for her.
[15:13] Students
This is bad news.
[15:14] Announcer
With this, we anticipate the tensions between
Magic Town and Electric Town will worsen.
[15:15] Students
It has to be fake.
[15:19] Announcer
We ask all citizens to remain
calm as they respond to this news.
[15:24] Announcer
I repeat, Korneah Seburd, head of the
Korneah Trading Company, has been murdered,
SIGN I'm okay, don't worry.
Please come to the principal's office quickly.
I have something important to discuss.
From Tratte Götel
[15:30] Announcer
and the Electric Town City Guard has
designated Tratte Götel as the main suspect,
[15:32] School Announcement
As of this moment, the entire Akihabara
region is under a stage 2 state of emergency,
[15:35] Announcer
with a manhunt under way.
[15:38] School Announcement
and we are conducting an emergency assembly.
[15:40] School Announcement
All students, please report to the
practical training hall immediately.
[15:45] Student
You think the principal's
really a murderer?
[15:47] Student
It's probably a lie
spread by Electric Town.
[15:53] Hizuki
Ms. Tratte!
[15:55] Hizuki
Is the news about Mr. Korneah true?
[15:57] Tratte
It's all right. Please calm down.
[16:00] Hizuki
Another one... Again...
[16:03] Tratte
Please calm down, Ms. Reynard.
[16:06] Tratte
I want you to listen carefully
to what I'm about to say.
[16:11] Hizuki
Who are you?
[16:14] Tratte
Ms. Reynard?
[16:15] Hizuki
No!
[16:16] Hizuki
When we're alone, Ms. Tratte
always calls me Hizuki.
[16:21] Hizuki
Right?
[16:27] Hizuki
So who are you?
[16:34] May
Apolfos.
[16:46] May-Malestudent
No one move.
[16:48] May-FemaleStudent
I'm warning you.
[16:50] May-FemaleStudent
You are all hostages.
[16:52] May-FemaleStudent
Resistance is futile.
[16:54] May-FemaleStudent
If you disobey, you will
be killed immediately.
[17:01] Tratte
I thought I had observed
you two long enough.
[17:05] Tratte
Though I guess when you're alone...
[17:13] Mag
Do you recognize me now?
[17:16] Hizuki
Professor Mag?
[17:19] MAg
Yes.
[17:20] Hizuki
But you died?
[17:22] Hizuki
No...
[17:23] Hizuki
But that's Ms. Tratte's... huh?
[17:26] Mag
The quest I received from the Guild
was to collect all three regalia.
[17:33] Mag
The greatest hurdle in that quest was
[17:36] Mag
Korneah Seburd.
[17:38] Mag
My quest could not be completed
without his murder.
[17:43] Mag
Though he was an extremely cautious man,
[17:46] Mag
I realized he loosened his guard
around the Three Great Houses.
[17:51] Mag
So I stole Tratte Götel's body.
[17:57] Mag
I invited her to that
mechanical surgery clinic,
[17:59] Mag
extracted her unit,
[18:01] Mag
and placed my unit into her body.
[18:06] Hizuki
Where's Ms. Tratte?
[18:07] Mag
Who knows.
[18:09] Mag
She probably got caught in that
explosion and blown to smithereens.
[18:18] Mag
Now then, I'll need you to
cooperate with my quest.
[18:23] Hizuki
As if I'd ever help you!
[18:25] Mag
No, you will cooperate.
[18:31] Mag
I wonder who I should have
[18:34] Mag
the next one be?
[18:34] Mag
the next one be?
[18:36] Mag
the next one be?
[18:37] Mag
the next one be?
[18:38] Hizuki
Are you planning to kill
me and steal the Orb?
[18:42] Mag
No.
[18:44] Mag
I'm going to manifest
the Goddess Meldia.
[18:48] Mag
The three regalia are the offering
needed to complete that.
[18:51] Mag
You would assume the
Orb is still missing, right?
[18:54] Mag
But the truth is that
the Orb is right here,
[18:56] Mag
and Meldia has already
descended to this world.
[19:01] Mag
After the Fantasion, a higher order
spiritual being like Meldia
[19:05] Mag
should have faded away,
unable to maintain her existence.
[19:09] Mag
However, she avoided elimination
by downgrading her soul
[19:12] Mag
and transferring it into a baby.
[19:15] Mag
You want to know how I know that?
[19:18] Mag
Because when I attacked you 10 years ago,
[19:21] Mag
she temporarily manifested,
rampaged, and fought me off.
[19:26] Meldia
I'm sorry.
[19:27] Hizuki
Then the voice...
[19:29] Mag
The Goddess Meldia is already
using your body as her vessel.
[19:36] Veltol
Albert.
[19:37] Albert
Wha?!
[19:38] Veltol
Don't look at me.
[19:39] Veltol
I'll grant you the honor of
serving as my arm this once.
[19:44] Veltol
If you destroy the swords of light
above the the students' heads,
[19:47] Veltol
her control will be broken.
[19:49] Veltol
Can you do it?
[19:51] Albert
You want me to help take
those people out? That's—
[19:55] Albert
All right, all right, all right!
[19:58] May-Students
Soon war will break out,
and Akihabara City will change.
[20:03] May-Students
No place in this city will be safe.
[20:05] Mag
I hired assassins to go after you while
I was searching for the Orb's whereabouts.
[20:11] Mag
However, while Meldia
reacted in self-defense,
[20:15] Mag
she never showed any signs of manifesting.
[20:17] Meldia
I'm sorry.
[20:19] Mag
So I had a thought.
[20:22] Mag
The Orb possesses the power
to control divinity,
[20:25] Mag
so what if you used that power to
control Meldia's manifestations and rampages?
[20:32] Mag
That's also the reason behind your
unusually low mana reserves.
[20:37] Mag
It made me wonder if all of your mana was
being used to control and seal away Meldia.
[20:43] Mag
But if that were the case, then where was
the Orb that was being used to control her?
[20:49] Mag
According to the records,
[20:50] Mag
you needed surgery to remove your right
eye and replace it with a prosthesis
[20:54] Mag
after you were injured in my
attack on you 10 years ago.
[20:58] Mag
However, your right eye is no prosthesis.
[21:05] Mag
During the surgery, your mother
requested that the doctor implant it.
[21:10] Mag
Your right eye is the Orb!
[21:15] Meldia
I'm sorry.
[21:19] Takahashi
Velly!
[21:20] Takahashi
The enemy's after Hizuki!
[21:22] Takahashi
They're probably on the roof!
[21:23] Veltol
Well done, Takahashi.
[21:25] Machina
I'll pursue her!
[21:27] Veltol
She's yours.
[21:29] Veltol
Albert!
[21:30] Albert
Huh?
[21:30] Veltol
I'm placing you in command
of this location!
[21:32] Veltol
You can handle it, right?
[21:34] Albert
All right.
[21:36] Mag
Well?
[21:37] Mag
You didn't know, did you?
[21:42] Mag
I killed that doctor,
your parents, all of them!
[21:47] Mag
You remember that
friend you injured, right?
[21:50] Mag
She was also an assassin I sent after you!
[21:53] Mag
Then you even came to me for advice!
[21:57] Mag
That was truly hilarious!
[22:03] Hizuki
Ah, I really...
[22:09] Hizuki
can't ever be forgiven.
[22:12] Meldia
I'm sorry.
[22:20] Mag
Clouds cover the moon,
and wind blows away flowers.
[22:23] Veltol
I'm taking back Hizuki.
[22:25] Mag
You really are an unpredictable
element, aren't you?
[22:29] Mag
A scheme 10 years in the
making, now up in smoke!
[22:33] Mag
I've lost.
[22:34] Mag
However,
[22:37] Mag
you haven't won, either.
[22:40] Mag
You can't stop the flames
of war burning this city.
[22:47] Veltol
Hizuki!
[22:48] Meldia
I am not she.
[23:30] Meldia
My name is Meldia.

How dare she murder Sir Korneah!
[00:07] MagicTownCitizen
Lady Tratte would never do such a thing!
[00:09] MagicTownCitizen
Stop your baseless accusations!
[00:11] Kinohara
Are you not going to stop them?
[00:14] Gram
Why would I?
[00:15] Kinohara
Isn't that what the Hero does?
[00:31] Meldia
I am the goddess who governs luck and
misfortune, one of the Six Great Gods,
[00:37] Meldia
the Goddess Meldia.
[00:40] Meldia
You hold your head high.
[00:41] Meldia
That is disrespectful, heathen.
[00:45] Meldia
This is our first time meeting
in person, isn't it,
[00:48] Meldia
Demon Lord Veltol?
[00:50] Veltol
I never imagined you would

[00:53] Meldia
I thought the same about you.
[00:55] Meldia
Though you've grown
awfully weak, haven't you?
[00:58] Veltol
Not as much as you have.
[01:00] Veltol
Your human form is unexpected.
[01:02] Veltol
Have you no pride as a goddess?
[01:05] Meldia
I do so utterly hate you.
[01:07] Meldia
Though I hate all men with black hair.
[01:11] Meldia
Men should be blonde.

I hate you as well.
[01:18] Veltol
Especially that haughty
tone you take with me.
[01:22] Meldia
Says the man taking the
same tone with a goddess.
[01:33] Veltol
I never thought I'd see the day
when I was killed by a goddess.
[01:38] Veltol
My regeneration is much improved,
[01:41] Veltol
thanks to the faith from
my 3 million subscribers.
[01:45] Meldia
How trifling.
[01:47] Meldia
Is this the same Demon Lord
who fought the Hero, Gram,
[01:50] Meldia
and turned all of
Alnaeth's gods against him?
[01:53] Veltol
You're also proving lackluster
for one calling herself a goddess.
[01:57] Meldia
I am currently but a chrysalis before eclosion.
[02:10] Veltol
Dell Ray!
[02:14] Meldia
Die for the sake of my love, Demon Lord!
[02:25] Veltol
You've inhibited my immortality?
[02:29] Veltol
I should expect no less
from legendary armaments
[02:31] Veltol
forged from a fragment of a goddess.
[02:34] Veltol
But I've seen through you.
[02:36] Meldia
What?
[02:38] Veltol
You're manipulating the power of fate,
[02:40] Veltol
granting good luck to the outcomes
of your attacks and defense,
[02:43] Veltol
while inflicting bad luck on the
outcomes of my attacks and defense.
[02:47] Veltol
No, you're applying it
to your movements too,
[02:50] Veltol
so the application must
be broader than that.
[02:53] Veltol
Your divine authority governs
the boundless karma of all,
[02:55] Veltol
you cheater.
[02:57] Veltol
So back in your prime, you applied this
divine authority to alter his destiny, didn't you?
[03:03] Veltol
You eliminated his destiny to age,
[03:06] Veltol
greatly altering the course of his life.
[03:08] Veltol
The life of the Hero, Gram.
[03:10] Meldia
Silence.
[03:13] Meldia
That's not it.
[03:14] Meldia
I wanted Gram to be happy.
[03:19] Meldia
Th-That's not true. I-I didn't...
[03:22] Meldia
I didn't mean for it to be like that!
[03:24] Meldia
Gram!
[03:27] Meldia
I'm sorry!
[03:29] Meldia
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[03:33] Meldia
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[03:35] Hizuki
Help me!
[03:36] Hizuki
Help me, Veltol!
[03:41] Veltol
Yeah, of course.
[03:43] Veltol
Bear with it a little longer.
[03:44] Veltol
I promise to save you, Hizuki!
[03:48] Meldia
No.
[03:51] Meldia
My name is Meldia.
[03:57] May
Scan complete.
[03:59] May
Confirmed detection of immortal
element in enemy target.
[04:03] May
Threat designation is over 20.
[04:06] Machina
Erupt! Crimson!
[04:14] Machina
I have one question, if you please.
[04:18] Machina
Have you and I met somewhere before?
[04:24] May
My codename is Ange.
[04:27] May
What's your name?
[04:29] Machina
Huh?
[04:31] May
It's our first time meeting,
so let's introduce ourselves.
[04:36] Machina
I'm Machina Soleige.
[04:38] Machina
It's a pleasure to meet you.
[04:40] May
Machina.
[04:41] May
An unfamiliar name.
[04:47] Machina
Shooting Lotus!
[04:53] Machina
This would be much easier if that were
enough to reduce this opponent to ash.
[05:10] May
Mastis.
[05:15] Machina
Homing bullets?
[05:18] Machina
Flame Shield Blossom!
[05:23] May
Charge.
[05:35] May
Confirmed reduction in the
combat potential of the enemy.
[05:40] Machina
Did you know?
[05:41] Machina
Once blood leaves an immortal's body,
[05:44] Machina
it dissolves into aether
and fades away over time.
[05:48] Machina
Unless they intentionally keep it around.
[05:53] Machina
Blood to Bomb!
[05:59] Machina
I loathe having to rely
on that asshole's spells.
[06:11] Machina
An immortal?
[06:21] Machina
I thought it might be true.
[06:23] Machina
It really is you, isn't it?
[06:26] Machina
May!
[06:27] May
I don't know...
[06:29] May
anything about you.
[06:31] Machina
Did your memory—?
[06:33] May
Ah! The shackles!
[06:38] Machina
May!
[06:43] May
No!
[06:57] Machina
This mana...
[07:06] Mag
Sleep.
[07:13] Machina
Principal Tratte?!
[07:14] Mag
Now this is unexpected.
[07:17] Machina
Huh?
[07:18] Machina
That voice...
[07:20] Mag
Oh, I left it set to this voice.
[07:23] Mag
Whatever.
[07:24] Mag
Driving this heap of junk...
[07:26] Mag
No, Ange, into a state of
berserk fury was a surprise.
[07:31] Machina
Her name isn't Ange!
[07:34] Machina
Give May back!
[07:35] Mag
If I lost Ange in addition
to my plan's failure,
[07:40] Mag
then I'd lose my head as well.
[07:44] Mag
The higher-ups have a taken
a liking to this prototype,
[07:48] Mag
even if it is ancient garbage.
[07:50] Machina
Huh?
[07:51] Machina
Teleportation?
[07:56] Machina
May...
[08:04] Meldia
You're just running? How pathetic, Veltol.
[08:09] Meldia
Is this what's become of the
Demon Lord who defied the gods?
[08:13] Veltol
I don't want to hear that from someone
cowering in a little girl's body!
[08:17] Meldia
Enough, manservant!
[08:23] Veltol
Verbull!
[08:29] Veltol
Van Solegia!
[08:45] Veltol
I finally understand.
[08:47] Veltol
I see the true nature of
your divine authority
[08:49] Veltol
to manipulate fate.
[08:52] Veltol
Physical attacks, such as sword strikes and fire
that bear little aether, are rendered useless.
[09:00] Veltol
And I when I attack you with spells that
use higher concentrations of aether,
[09:03] Veltol
you cause them to miss.
[09:05] Veltol
The clear difference between these two is
that one is automatic, and one is manual.
[09:10] Veltol
Your ability to nullify physical
attacks is constantly active;
[09:14] Veltol
however, you must manually activate your ability to dodge magical attacks.
[09:19] Veltol
And the fact you have to dodge them,
[09:22] Veltol
is proof that they'll
damage you if they hit.
[09:26] Veltol
Your definitive advantage has crumbled.
[09:30] Meldia
Quit posturing, Demon Lord.
[09:32] Meldia
You already lost before the
dice were even thrown.
[09:35] Meldia
I'll wipe out your soul as well, to make
sure you don't get this conceited again.
[09:40] Meldia
Then I will once more meet with the Hero.
[09:44] Veltol
What did you want to do in
this world in the first place?
[09:48] Meldia
What did I want to do?
[09:51] Meldia
I want to know how that man feels.
[09:54] Meldia
I need to ask him what he thinks.
[09:57] Meldia
And I have to apologize to him.
[10:02] Veltol
Are you...
[10:04] Veltol
honestly saying you don't
understand Gram's feelings?
[10:08] Meldia
As if someone like you would
ever understand that man!
[10:11] Veltol
Of course I do!
[10:12] Veltol
Above all else, he's the Hero, Gram!
[10:16] Meldia
That's...
[10:17] Veltol
You're slow on the uptake.
[10:20] Veltol
I'm betting you learned of his fate
following your gift of eternal youth
[10:23] Veltol
and you've carried
that regret into this era,
[10:27] Veltol
while fretting over what to do.
[10:29] Veltol
Damn eternal maiden.
[10:31] Meldia
Maiden—?
[10:32] Veltol
What you feel toward the
Hero is not platonic.
[10:36] Veltol
It's romantic love!
[10:38] Meldia
Love?
[10:39] Veltol
I know how he feels about what you've
done without even thinking about it.
[10:47] Meldia
He hates me, of course.
[10:49] Veltol
Is that the extent of how
well you understand Gram?
[10:53] Meldia
Then tell me!
[10:54] Meldia
What does he think of me?!
[10:57] Veltol
I will tell you.
[10:59] Veltol
After you've returned that body to Hizuki.
[11:02] Veltol
You're a goddess, stealing
the body of a young girl.
[11:05] Veltol
You know that kind of behavior
is what he hates the most!
[11:13] Meldia
Sorry...
[11:16] Meldia
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[11:24] Meldia
Gram! Gram!
[11:25] Meldia
My beloved Hero!
[11:27] Veltol
That's more like it, Meldia.
[11:30] Veltol
I can at least accept that
intense passion from you.
[11:34] Veltol
Hizuki!
[11:37] Hizuki
Get me out!
[11:38] Hizuki
Get me out of here!
[11:40] Meldia
Be quiet! Don't get in
the way of my romance!
[11:43] Hizuki
Screw you! I don't care about that!
[11:45] Meldia
Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet!
[11:47] Hizuki
I'm done with this!
[11:49] Hizuki
I want out of this place already!
[11:51] Hizuki
Help me!
[11:56] Hizuki
Help me, Veltol!
[11:58] Veltol
Yeah, I hear you, Hizuki!
[12:03] Meldia
No!
[12:04] Meldia
My name is Meldia!
[12:11] Veltol
Exult in the silver skies,
[12:13] Veltol
Vernal Diel!
[12:34] Veltol
Damn Maguro.
[12:37] Mag
Ah, so it activated, huh?
[12:40] Mag
Hubris.
[12:42] Mag
I was right to set that up, just in case.
You never know when facing that Demon Lord.
[12:46] Mag
Now then...
[12:47] Mag
Time to take my leave
before this city blows.
[13:03] Veltol
Whatever.
[13:04] Veltol
A strong boss always has a second stage.
[13:22] Gram
Hey, Demon Lord.
[13:24] Gram
You're looking awfully funny, aren't you?
[13:27] Gram
Is there some kind of event going on?
[13:29] Veltol
Why you...
[13:30] Veltol
If you're going to help,
do it more gently.
[13:33] Veltol
I died from that, you know.
[13:36] Gram
What does that matter when
you're going to regenerate?
[13:39] Gram
So?
[13:40] Gram
What on earth is that?
[13:42] Veltol
A lovestruck maiden
[13:44] Veltol
worked up over the
man she's infatuated with,
[13:46] Veltol
and now she's driven
herself into hysterics.
[13:49] Gram
Should I do something about this?
[13:52] Veltol
No.
[13:53] Veltol
That body originally belongs to a friend.
[13:56] Veltol
I promised to help her.
[13:58] Veltol
Though it's proving difficult for
me to accomplish on my own.
[14:03] Veltol
Hero Gram, I'm issuing you an order.
[14:08] Veltol
Cover me.
[14:17] Gram
I'll accept.
[14:22] Gram
Ixasorde Signalia!
[14:25] Veltol
Vestum!
[14:27] Veltol
I'm going all out.
[14:29] Veltol
Don't fall behind.
[14:30] Gram
Who are you talking to?
[15:06] MobWoman
Huh? What's that sound?
[15:07] MobMan
Hey, above us! Look out!
[15:13] MobMan
Th-Thanks, lady.
[15:16] Kinohara
No problem.
[16:02] Meldia
I'm sorry.
[16:04] Veltol
There's no need to apologize.
[16:12] Meldia
That sword...
[16:14] Veltol
It's a sword that rends the soul.
[16:17] Meldia
I see. So I'm going to disappear?
[16:21] Veltol
Goddess Meldia.
[16:23] Veltol
You should have had more faith in him.
[16:28] Veltol
The man you chose and loved
[16:31] Veltol
would never hate you for that.
[16:34] Veltol
Because he is the Hero.
[16:38] Meldia
He... wasn't unhappy?
[16:43] Veltol
Of course not.
[16:46] Veltol
Now sleep, Meldia.
[16:49] Veltol
Beautiful goddess who loves people,
and is beloved in return.
[16:56] Meldia
Thank you, Veltol.
[17:00] Meldia
Also, Hizuki,
[17:03] Meldia
I'm sorry.
[17:11] Veltol
Good morning, Hijiki.
[17:12] Veltol
How are you feeling?
[17:15] Hizuki
It's Hizuki. Dummy.
[17:23] Takahashi
Velly!
[17:24] Takahashi
Is Hizuki okay?!
[17:26] Veltol
She's safe.
[17:27] Veltol
How's your end?
[17:27] Takahashi
We're all safe.
[17:29] Takahashi
I just met up with Machina.
[17:31] Takahashi
What are we going to do now?
[17:33] Takahashi
The city already feels
seconds away from war.
[17:36] Veltol
I won't let it come to that.
[17:40] Veltol
There are still things you need to do.
[17:46] ElectricTownCitizen
Dammit! What was that?!
[17:48] ElectricTownCitizen
The Magic Town folk have done it now!
[17:51] MagicTownCitizen
We haven't done anything!
[17:53] MagicTownCitizen
We have no choice!
[17:53] Meral
Orders for all units, commence—
[17:55] Veltol
Both sides, lay down your arms!
[18:00] Veltol
We have an official decree from
the new king of Akihabara City!
[18:04] Veltol
Give her your respectful attention!
[18:06] Meral
Lady Hizuki?
[18:07] MobMan
Who's that?
[18:08] MobWoman
The traitors' daughter.
[18:10] MobWoman
What's an outsider doing here?
[18:11] MobMan
Go back home, half-breed!
[18:13] MobWoman
You want to get hurt?!
[18:17] Hizuki
I am Hizuki Reynard-Yamada!
[18:20] Hizuki
I am the head of the Reynard Clan,
one of Akihabara's Three Great Houses,
[18:24] Hizuki
and now the king of Akihabara City.
[18:27] MobWoman
What's going on here?
[18:28] MobMan
You suddenly call yourself a king?
[18:30] MobMan
I don't accept it!
[18:31] MobMan
Besides, why do you even have
the regalia in the first place?!
[18:34] MobWoman
You're the one who bewitched
Tratte, aren't you?!
[18:37] MobMan
That's right!
[18:38] MobMan
It was all your doing!
[18:39] Hizuki
I'm not good enough...
[18:49] Hizuki
Korneah Seburd was murdered by
someone disguised as Tratte Götel.
[18:55] Hizuki
That same person also killed Tratte.
[19:00] Hizuki
I was attacked too, but
my friend here saved me,
[19:04] Hizuki
and we reclaimed the regalia.
[19:06] Hizuki
I understand your rage and confusion.
[19:10] Hizuki
However, now that
I possess all three regalia,
[19:15] Hizuki
I currently hold full authority
over all of Akihabara!
[19:18] MobMan
That's nonsense—!
[19:20] Meral
Do not interrupt.
Our king is speaking.
[19:22] Meral
Please continue.
[19:26] Hizuki
I choose to exercise my right as your king.
[19:32] Hizuki
I hereby proclaim that the royal
authority belonging to the regalia
[19:36] Hizuki
is now completely null and void!
[19:38] Hizuki
As of this moment, there is
no king of Akihabara City!
[19:43] Hizuki
I leave any further management of the
city up to the Akihabara City Council.
[19:47] Hizuki
The end!
[19:50] MobMan
No way.
[19:51] MobWoman
What'll we do without a king
or any of the great houses?
[19:54] MobMan
The council?
[19:55] MobMan
That useless group of old farts?!
[19:57] MobWoman
I don't want our city left in their hands!
[20:01] Hizuki
Figure shit out for
yourselves now, dumbasses!
[20:10] Takahashi
Treasure!
[20:12] Takahashi
Yahoo!
[20:14] Hizuki
I can't believe you two really were the Demon
Lord Veltol and Machina of the Dazzling Blaze.
[20:16] Machina
Hizuki...
[20:17] Machina
Hey, that tickles!
[20:20] Takahashi
What? This is weird?
[20:20] Hizuki
Though Takahashi's still just Takahashi.
[20:23] Takahashi
What?!
[20:25] Takahashi
I did my part from the shadows, too!
[20:28] Hizuki
I know.
[20:30] Hizuki
Thanks.
[20:31] Takahashi
Good!
[20:32] Veltol
It's here.
[20:32] Hizuki
By the way, what is that you have there?
[20:33] Machina
Yes. This mana is very nostalgic.
[20:34] Takahashi
I don't know.
[20:38] Veltol
Sihlwald the Black Dragon.
[20:40] Veltol
And May the Mournful Firmament.
[20:42] Veltol
Being able to confirm they're
both alive is a great windfall.
[20:46] Machina
Yes.
[20:47] Machina
It was quite rewarding since we also got a
small taste of being high school students.
[20:52] Veltol
Yes.
[20:55] Takahashi
Hello, hello!
[20:57] Hizuki
We're intruding!
[20:58] Veltol
Hmm.
[21:01] Hizuki
What?
[21:02] Veltol
That uniform looks good on you, Hijiki.
[21:05] Hizuki
Th-Thanks.
[21:08] Hizuki
Also, it's Hizuki.
[21:09] Hizuki
So, why did you call us here?
[21:12] Machina
To celebrate your transfer to a new school.
[21:14] Veltol
And for a revenge match!
[21:19] Machina
Takahashi, what's that supposed to be?
[21:20] Veltol
A total loss, huh?
[21:22] Machina
You're hardly a match at all.
[21:23] Hizuki
I feel great!
[21:24] Takahashi
I'll turn this around!
[21:26] Veltol
How are things at your new school?
[21:29] Hizuki
Way more comfortable
than my last one.
[21:31] Hizuki
Takahashi's there, too.
[21:33] Hizuki
Though I have become a little
famous after that speech.
[21:37] Veltol
Thanks to that, my subscribers
have gone up, too.
[21:40] Veltol
Though some were starting flame wars.
[21:47] Meldia
Thank you.
[21:49] Hizuki
Veltol.
[21:52] Hizuki
Thank you for forgiving me.
[21:57] Veltol
Of course I would.
[22:00] Takahashi
Hizuki.
[22:02] Takahashi
Finals. Against Machina.
[22:04] Hizuki
All right! I'm raring to go!
[22:07] Machina
I'll avenge Lord Veltol!
[22:09] Veltol
I'm counting on you, Machina!
[22:11] Machina
Leave it to me!
[22:12] Takahashi
Oh, by the way, Velly, we have a
match to determine last place.
[22:16] Veltol
Very well!
[22:17] Veltol
Good evemortal! How's the pain of
life treating you mortals today?
[22:24] Veltol
It is I, the Demon Lord
Veltol Velvet Velsvalt!
