**[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.
