[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.

[00:04] VillagerOld
    Vile demon!
[00:07] Vllager1
    You're the reason calamity has befallen us!
[00:10] Villager2
    Ingrate!
[00:11] Villager2
    Drop her in!
[00:12] Villager3
    Hurry up and drop that immortal in!
[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

[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!

    -Congrats!

    -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!

    -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.

    Now then, that brings us the end tonight.

    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

    So sit back and wait for it.

    Now then, may all you fools
    enjoy the peace of death!

[11:41] Veltol
    Phew.
[11:49] Veltol
    I'm heading out.

    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.

    I'll be right back with the medicinal herbs.
[12:45] (Flashback) Milina
    Yeah.

    Monsters have been more active

    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.

    Still, the food has grown many degrees
    better than it was during the age I remember.

    Yeah.

    Here you go.

    Two kitsune udon.

    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!
[23:36] Machina

[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.
[23:36] 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!
[15:49] Marcus
    Blood Sword!
SIGN    Alert
SIGN    Spell has been nullified.
[15:58] Marcus
    Blood Sword!
[15:59] Marcus
    Blood Sword!
[16:01] Marcus
    Blood Sword!
[16:02] Marcus
    Blood Sword!
[16:04] Marcus
    Blood Sword!
[16:05] Marcus
    Blood Sword!
[16:07] Marcus
    Blood Sword!
[16:13] Marcus
    Why?!
[16:15] Marcus
    How?!
[16:20] Marcus
    I...
[16:21] Marcus
    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.

[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!

[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 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.
SIGN    My Beloved Demon Lord, Veltol
[18:40] Machina
    Wh-Why is this...
SIGN    Circle Name: Six Dirk Piers
    Author: Crimson Duchess
[18:45] Machina
    I can't believe I wound
    up buying my own book.
[18:49] Machina
    What am I going to do with this?
[18:51] Takahashi
    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...
[19:04] Takahashi
    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.
[20:10] Takahashi
    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
     the dorms for today.
[21:14] Takahashi
    Or we could go spend the
    night at Hizuki's place!
[21:16] Hizuki
    Huh?
[21:17] Hizuki
    Huh?!
[21:18] Machina
    Oh, that's a great idea.
[21:20] Machina
    If you're okay with it, Lord Veltol.
[21:22] Veltol
    I don't mind.
[21:24] Hizuki
    I do mind!
[21:26] Hizuki
    Besides, why would you
    want to stay at my place?
[21:28] Takahashi
    So we can hang out together more!
[21:30] Hizuki
    Wha?!
[21:31] Machina
    I'd like to get to know you better, too.
[21:34] Hizuki
    Are—
[21:36] Hizuki
    Are you two idiots?!
[21:37] Veltol
    Then it's settled. Tonight we're
    sleeping over at Hizuki's mansion.
[21:42] Takahashi
    Yay!
[21:44] Takahashi
    Sleepover, sleepover!
[21:47] Both
    Sleepover, sleepover, sleepover, sleepover!
[22:02] Hizuki
    Why...

[01:33] (Flashback) Classmate
    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
    aptitude for serving as a spirit mediums,
[02:28] (Flashback) Doctor
    but I'm not detecting any
    traces of spirit channeling.
[02:32] (Flashback) Doctor
    So I believe your periodic lapses in
    memory stem from a different cause.
[02:41] Meldia
    I'm sorry.
[02:46] Hizuki
    Forgive me!
[02:49] (Flashback) Parents
    Happy birthday dear Hizuki,
[02:54] (Flashback) Parents
    Happy birthday to you!
[02:58] Meldia
    I'm sorry.
[03:07] Hizuki
    Forgive me.
[03:10] Veltol
    Pardon us, Hijiki!
[03:12] Machina
    This is amazing.
[03:13] Takahashi
    So this is Hizuki's home, huh?
[03:16] Takahashi
    Uh, it's an honor for me to humbly take
    charge and lead our toast tonight.
[03:22] Takahashi
    Thank you for taking time out of your busy
    schedules to gather here at Hizuki's place.
[03:25] Veltol
    Too long!
[03:26] Veltol
    Cheers!
[03:27] Machina
    Cheers!
[03:27] Takahashi
    Hey! You're jumping the gun, Velly!
[03:28] Hizuki
    Cheers!
[03:34] Takahashi
    Though I never imagined you'd
    be working part-time, Hizuki.
[03:38] Takahashi
    The school allows students to work?
[03:41] Hizuki
    It doesn't.
[03:42] Takahashi
    Huh?
[03:43] Hizuki
    I'm working in secret.
[03:46] Hizuki
    Don't rat me out, okay?
[03:48] Takahashi
    I won't, I won't!
[03:50] Machina
    Here you go.
[03:51] Hizuki
    Thank you.
[03:53] Hizuki
    You're really good at cooking, Machina.
[03:56] Hizuki
    It's a little surprising.
[03:58] Machina
    I have been living on my
    own for a few decades now.
[04:01] Hizuki
    Oh?
[04:03] Hizuki
    Hmm? Decades?
[04:05] Takahashi
    Right, right! Velly, may I
    make a humble suggestion?!
[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.

[00:02] ElectricTownCitizen
    Hand over Tratte Götel!
[00:05] ElectricTownCitizen
    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
    survive to see this age.
[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.
[01:16] Veltol
    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!
