    I didn't expect to spend

[00:18] AKIRA
    You seem unhappy.
[00:20] AKIRA
    You may be the final boss, the Demon Lord,
    but there's no beating reality.
[00:25] AKIRA
    Once it hits midnight,
    it's time to close the server
[00:27] AKIRA
    and shut down the game once and for all.
[00:30] AKIRA
    This entire world will be gone,
    without a trace.
[00:34] AKIRA
    Heh, if you're not satisfied,
    feel free to keep playing by yourself.

    You're the silly one for living
    in an apartment like this, XX!

    Hey, that thing's important!

    Can't be that important if it's on the floor,

    Hey, my room feels

    Why'd I have to clean your place

    Don't complain.

    Fine. Here, as a special treat.

    Are you gonna make me sleep in trash
    after coming all the way to Tokyo?

    Are you trying to get in bed with me?

    Nope. Your beer is my beer.

    I thought he was some online game addict,

    XXX never joined Infinity Game, huh?
[05:32] XX
    Probably holds a grudge
    against you, that XXX.
[05:35] XX
    Orient City had to end its service.
[05:38] AKIRA
    That game was simply behind the times.
[05:42] XX
    But XXX loved Orient City like it was home.
[05:48] AKIRA
    But Infinity Game is way better.
[05:52] AKIRA
    It'd be obvious if XXX just tried it out.

    They're serious about expanding the scale.

    They want to promote Infinity Game

    Wow! Treat me to something

    they'll get dirty if they touch me.

    Then lead the way.
[18:45] AKU
    Thank you very much, Demon Lord.
[18:48] AKU
    This is the first time
    I've touched anyone like this...
[18:52] KUNAI
    Don't you think you're
    holding on a bit too tight?
[18:55] AKU
    I-I don't think so.
[18:58] KUNAI
    Is the Wishing Shrine one of those places
    where you toss money in and pray?
[19:03] AKU
    I've heard that the Cherub
    managed to seal Greole there.
[19:06] AKIRA
    Occult, is it?
[19:08] AKU
    Legend says it can grant
    the wishes of those who visit.
[19:11] AKU
    I-If you go to the shrine, you could
    obtain enough power to rule the world.
[19:16] KUNAI
    I don't want that power!
[19:18] KUNAI
    This the place?
[19:19] AKU
    Yes.
[19:20] AKIRA
    This smell... It's definitely bad news.
[19:24] KUNAI
    Aku, wait right here.
[19:26] AKU
    Okay.
[19:36] AKIRA
    What the hell is all this?
[19:39] IDOL
    Welcome.
[19:41] IDOL
    I appreciate you answering my call.
[19:45] KUNAI
    Was it you who summoned me here?
[19:48] IDOL
    It was those people, not me.
[19:50] IDOL
    "We wish for the Demon Lord to descend."
[19:53] KUNAI
    These guys?
[19:56] AKIRA
    You mean Kunai, who was called
    the Demon Lord in Infinity Game*,
[20:01] AKIRA
    was summoned here along with me,
    because I happened to be logged in?
[20:05] IDOL
    Greole, who had broken the seal,
    slaughtered all of them.
[20:10] IDOL
    I fought him, and soon*
    I shall disappear as well.
[20:14] KUNAI
    What? Can you just return me
    to the world I came from first?
[20:19] IDOL
    I cannot grant that wish.
    It defies a wish that was made.
[20:23] KUNAI
    Please!
[20:25] IDOL
    As you are my final visitor,
[20:28] IDOL
    I shall grant you this.
[20:34] KUNAI
    What...
[20:35] KUNAI
    is with this corny ring?
[20:38] KUNAI
    I can't take it off!
[20:39] KUNAI
    Don't give me this shit! It's so cringe!
[20:41] KUNAI
    Screw you, evil deity!
[20:43] IDOL
    Evil, huh?
[20:45] IDOL
    I was once very pure and a sight to behold...
[20:47] IDOL
    But many years of granting wicked
    wishes to humans changed me into this.
[20:52] IDOL
    I pray that your... wish comes true...
[20:55] KUNAI
    Hey, get back here!
[20:56] KUNAI
    Send me home!
[21:00] KUNAI
    Oh, wow, I'd fallen asleep.
[21:03] KUNAI
    Drinking in the hot springs really hits hard.
[21:05] AKIRA
    So much happened,
    almost in the blink of an eye.
[21:09] AKIRA
    I met some kids who grew attached to me,
[21:12] AKIRA
    ran into adventurers
    I don't know how to describe,
[21:15] AKIRA
    kept getting messed with by those
    three Holy Maidens of the Kingdom,
[21:20] AKIRA
    and summoned my trusty aides
    and had them solve my issues.
[21:25] AKIRA
    And even after all that,
    I'm no closer to going home.
[21:30] AKIRA
    Is this gauge building up or something?
[21:34] AKIRA
    Will it grant a wish once it's full?
[21:37] AKIRA
    Will it revive my party,
[21:39] AKIRA
    or give me a gyaru's panties?
[21:41] AKIRA
    Maybe I'll get home quicker filling this thing
    instead of unlocking my admin powers.
[21:47] AKIRA
    After all, I did get it from
    the idol in the Wishing Shrine.
[21:50] AKIRA
    But how do I fill up this thing, anyway?
[21:54] LUNA
    What are you doing here?!
[21:56] LUNA
    Are you trying to ambush and take me?
    You perverted Demon Lord!
[22:00] KUNAI
    Oh, it's you, Luna.
[22:02] KUNAI
    This side is the men's bath today.
[22:04] LUNA
    Huh?
[22:05] KUNAI
    Want to join me while you're here?
[22:07] KUNAI
    I have sake and snacks.
[22:09] LUNA
    Why would I, you idiot?!
