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