[00:02] LUNA
    After a hard day's work, nothing soothes
    the soul more than hot springs.
[00:05] KYON
    Yeah. Hot springs are amazing, hop.
[00:08] MOMO
    The Demon Lord is great for
    building this place, bunny.
[00:11] LULU
    No, wrong!
[00:13] LULU
    I, the Holy Maiden, am the one
    who's great for bringing him here!
[00:17] LULU
    These hot springs only exist because of me!
[00:20] MOMO
    R-Right, Miss Luna, bunny!
[00:23] KYON
    We're so blessed to have you here, hop!
[00:27] LUNA
    That's right.
[00:28] LUNA
    Your lives are happy
    because I have this power.
[00:33] LUNA
    If only I'd had it back when I was a child...
[00:38] LUNA
    Maybe she'd still be alive.
[00:42] LUNA

[02:22] KNIGHTA
    Keep walking, you heretics.
[02:24] KNIGHTA
    How dare you traitors reject
    the righteous light!
[02:27] KNIGHTB
    You have the gall to defy
    us? Know your place!
[02:31] KNIGHTB
    Tch, filthy demihuman.
[02:34] KNIGHTB
    On your feet!
[02:36] KNIGHTB
    Just the sight of you defiles my eyes!
[02:48] KNIGHTB
    You demihumans are useless other
    than as sacrifices to the devil.
[02:55] TEMPLAR
    I must say, Archpriest.
[02:57] TEMPLAR
    This is quite the escort for simply
    getting border-passing rights.
[03:01] ARCHBISHOP
    We must show off the glorious
    light of the State of Right.
[03:06] ARCHBISHOP
    The little girl in charge of this
    country has been acting cocky.
[03:09] TEMPLAR
    "The Conqueror of the North," was it?
[03:12] TEMPLAR
    Quite the vain heretic.
[03:16] ARCHBISHOP
    When she was but ten years old,
[03:18] ARCHBISHOP
    she drove her own father into
    exile and took his throne.
[03:23] ARCHBISHOP
    That is why they call themselves
    the "New Queendom."
[03:27] TEMPLAR
    I see.
[03:28] ARCHBISHOP
    Not long after, she annexed
    the surrounding states
[03:31] ARCHBISHOP
    and came to be called the
    Conqueror of the North.
[03:35] ARCHBISHOP
    But she will soon kneel
    before our righteous light.
[03:38] TEMPLAR
    The papal crown has its
    sights on Xenovia too?
[03:42] ARCHBISHOP
    That is not for you to know, Chief Templar.
[03:45] TEMPLAR
    My apologies.
[03:47] ARCHBISHOP
    Now, time to give the little
    girl a light greeting.
[03:55] ARCHBISHOP
    It's been ages, Queen Beatrice
    of the New Queendom of Xenovia.
[04:03] ARCHBISHOP
    What?!
[04:04] ARCHBISHOP
    Is this really the girl I met before?
[04:08] BEATRICE
    Well done coming all this way.
[04:11] ARCHBISHOP
    I am beyond thrilled to see
    you well, Your Majesty.
[04:16] BEATRICE
    I'll give you the right to pass.
[04:18] BEATRICE
    You may leave now.
[04:20] ARCHBISHOP
    That's all she has to say to an
    envoy of the righteous light?
[04:24] ARCHBISHOP
    And what's with the mockery in her eyes?!
[04:27] ARCHBISHOP
    You certainly seem to be very busy.
[04:29] ARCHBISHOP
    This old man will leave
    your presence right away.
[04:33] ARCHBISHOP
    But just one thing...
[04:34] ARCHBISHOP
    I'm truly amazed by your growth.
[04:37] ARCHBISHOP
    You still had traces of your
    childlike innocence last I saw you.
[04:42] ARCHBISHOP
    How time flies, I suppose.
[04:45] KONGMING
    It pleases me to hear
    you praise our queen's growth.
[04:51] KONGMING
    I'm Kongming, chief advisor
    to Her Highness Beatrice.
[04:56] ARCHBISHOP
    A pleasure to meet you.
[04:57] KONGMING
    Stay and watch Her Highness
    work, if you please.
[05:00] KONGMING
    I would love to hear your
    opinion, Archbishop.
[05:03] ARCHBISHOP
    Oh? Are you sure you want
    an outsider listening in?
[05:09] KONGMING
    I'm sure it would serve as a fine souvenir
    to take back to the State of Right.
[05:16] BEATRICE
    Make your reports.
[05:17] RETAINERA
    Your Majesty, about the farmland
    water shortage I reported before...
[05:23] RETAINERA
    We'd like to start a large-scale
    irrigation project.
[05:25] BEATRICE
    Understood. You may go ahead.
[05:28] RETAINERB
    For the recent epidemic measures,
[05:30] RETAINERB
    we are running out of funds,
    which may delay our plans.
[05:35] BEATRICE
    I'll divert some funds from the treasury.
[05:37] RETAINERC
    We'd like to expand the ranches
    to raise military horses.
[05:41] BEATRICE
    You have full authority on the matter.
[05:43] RETAINERD
    The R&R facility for soldiers
    injured in action...
[05:46] BEATRICE
    I read the proposal. Proceed as planned.
[05:49] RETAINERE
    General Muller reports that the Milk nomads
    are plotting something by the border.
[05:55] BEATRICE
    Raze a few of their gers.
    Rest assured.
[05:59] BEATRICE
    I'll take full responsibility.
[06:01] ARCHBISHOP
    What? No deliberation?
[06:04] ARCHBISHOP
    She moves things along at such a rapid pace?
[06:08] ARCHBISHOP
    If we waste any time, she'll pull
    the rug from beneath our feet.
[06:15] KONGMING
    You're departing in quite the hurry.
[06:18] KONGMING
    Did something urgent come up?
[06:20] ARCHIBISHOP
    I'd advise you not to get too haughty.
[06:22] ARCHIBISHOP
    The day our righteous light swallows
    up the Archipelago Union is near.
[06:26] KONGMING
    Is that so?
[06:29] ARCHBISHOP
    Oh, right. One of the slaves in our
    convoy is somewhat interesting.
[06:35] KONGMING
    Interesting, how?
[06:36] ARCHBISHOP
    She's a demihuman and used to serve a
    Holy Maiden in the Kingdom of Holy Light.
[06:42] KONGMING
    A Holy Maiden's servant?
[06:44] ARCHBISHOP
    Believe it or not, she's falconfolk:
    half-falcon, half-human.
[06:49] KONGMING
    Oh?
[06:50] KONGMING
    I thought the Kingdom of Holy Light and
    the State of Right had friendly relations.
[06:56] KONGMING
    Wouldn't making a Holy Maiden's servant
    a slave sour that relationship?
[07:02] ARCHBISHOP
    A Holy Maiden would never
    have a demihuman by her side.
[07:05] ARCHBISHOP
    And if she did, that would
    be the real scandal here.
[07:11] ARCHBISHOP
    A demihuman like that deserves to be
    eliminated by our righteous light.
[07:24] KONGMING
    Your Majesty, I hate to
    interrupt your break...
[07:28] BEATRICE
    I'm so done!
[07:30] BEATRICE
    That old dude kept staring
    at my legs! What a creep!
[07:33] BEATRICE
    It was so gross how he said I'd
    grown while looking at my legs!
[07:36] BEATRICE
    I had chills the entire time he was here!
[07:37] KONGMING
    Your Majesty, please refrain from this
    behavior in front of the other retainers.
[07:41] BEATRICE
    Screw that! I'm done!
[07:44] BEATRICE
    I'm taking the day off tomorrow!
[07:47] KONGMING
    Queens don't get days off!
[07:50] BEATRICE
    Then you be the queen.
[07:53] BEATRICE
    I'm gonna retire.
[07:54] KONGMING
    Enough, Beatrice!
[07:56] KONGMING
    There's no replacing the queen!
[07:59] BEATRICE
    This is all because you exiled my dad!
[08:02] KONGMING
    If we'd let that fool rule this
    country, it'd be done for!
[08:06] BEATRICE
    And why does that mean
    I gotta be the queen?!
[08:09] BEATRICE
    You take responsibility, boss!
[08:11] KONGMING
    Will you get over the past already?!
[08:15] BEATRICE
    I'll never forget how you
    bullied me, your assistant.
[08:17] BEATRICE
    You even took my money sometimes!
[08:20] BEATRICE
    You're a monster, boss. A real demon!
[08:23] KONGMING
    Stop it! Forget those memories at once!
[08:25] BEATRICE
    I'll never forget how you made me go
    buy you cigars in the freezing rain!
[08:30] KONGMING
    No! Forget that!
[08:34] KONGMING
    Just listen up, Beatrice.
[08:37] KONGMING
    The State of Right convoy is
    transporting an interesting person!
[08:40] BEATRICE
    Interesting, how?
[08:42] KONGMING
    A demihuman who used to serve
    a Holy Maiden of Light.
[08:46] KONGMING
    We'll use this intel to drive a
    wedge between Right and Light.
[08:51] BEATRICE
    I don't care about the
    stupid Kingdom of Light...
[08:53] KONGMING
    Listen, something strange is
    going on in that country.
[08:56] KONGMING
    A Demon Lord and a
    dragonkin showed up there.
[08:59] BEATRICE
    There's a demon lord behind me right now.
[09:01] KONGMING
    Why, you little!
[09:05] BEATRICE
    Boss Demon Lord... I can't breathe!
[09:08] KONGMING
    Leaking this info will probably
    cause a rift between the two.
[09:13] KONGMING
    Remember this so that we don't slip up.
[09:16] BEATRICE
    Don't wanna. I'm gonna forget it right away.
[09:19] KONGMING
    Then why do you remember useless
    details of the past?!
[09:22] BEATURICE
    You'll never understand how lonely it
    feels to eat alone in the bathroom!
[09:27] KONGMING
    No, please forget that!
[09:29] KONGMING
    Hell, you better forget!
[09:43] HANZO
    This place is developing, and fast.
[09:46] HANZO
    They're not even using any slaves.
[09:49] HANZO
    How is this possible?
[09:55] AKU
    Please wait, Tron!
[09:57] HANZO
    A devilkin?
[09:59] TRON
    There's a new souvenir shop.
    Must try its offering at once.
[10:03] AKU
    You mean the new kind of
    steamed bun called manju?
[10:07] TRON
    No, the radium eggs.
[10:08] TRON
    It's a type of boiled egg
    with hardened yolks.
[10:11] AKU
    What? Eggs are valuable enough by themselves,
[10:13] AKU
    and they have this strange
    new way of cooking them?
[10:16] TRON
    That's why we must hurry.
    I'm sure you'll love it too.
[10:20] AKU
    Right!
[10:20] HANZO
    Hello there.
[10:24] HANZO
    A knight has asked me to deliver
    this letter to the Holy Maiden,
[10:28] HANZO
    so I came here to Rabby Village...
[10:32] TRON
    A strange color. Wait here.
[10:35] AKU
    Wait for me, Tron!
[10:38] HANZO
    What was that all about?
[10:44] HANZO
    This resembles the architecture
    of my people out in the east.
[10:48] ISAMI
    Are you the one wanting to see Luna?
[10:51] ISAMI
    I'm Tahara, the supervisor here.
[10:53] HANZO
    I've brought a letter for the Holy Maiden.
[10:56] ISAMI
    Yeah? I'll take it, then.
[10:59] HANZO
    Okay.
[11:00] ISAMI
    How do you like the village?
[11:02] ISAMI
    It's developing well, don't you think?
[11:04] HANZO
    Huh?
[11:06] ISAMI
    Tell your bosses that if they wanna
    team up, they better make it quick.
[11:20] HANZO
    This might be more trouble than I expected.
[11:25] SHADOW
    How did it go, Lady Hanzo?
[11:28] HANZO
    Don't call me that.
[11:29] SHADOW
    Huh?
[11:30] HANZO
    Call me Cocoa!
[11:32] SHADOW
    Um, that's very informal.
[11:34] SHADOW
    Hanzo is a name steeped in tradition
    and passed down leaders of our clan.
[11:39] HANZO
    I've had it with being called
    Hanzo! It's so not cute!
[11:43] SHADOW
    You're barking up the wrong tree...
[11:45] HANZO
    Imagine you're a young girl
    and people call you Hanzo!
[11:50] SHADOW
    U-Understandable, Lady Cocoa.
[11:52] HANZO
    Make it cuter! Put your heart into it!
[11:55] HANZO
    Say it with love and affection! Cocoa!

[11:59] SHADOW
    I hate to be the bearer of bad news...
[12:02] SHADOW
    But you're being a massive
    pain right now, Lady Hanzo.
[12:05] HANZO
    Again, stop calling me that!
[12:09] HANZO
    Anyway, what is the deal
    with that Tahara guy?
[12:14] SHADOW
    Should we go undercover to investigate?
[12:17] HANZO
    No.
[12:18] HANZO
    They know about us, and they have
    this mysterious lady on their side.
[12:22] HANZO
    It was obvious from a glance.
[12:25] HANZO
    She had a terrifying aura, like she had
    demons hidden away in that coat of hers.
[12:31] HANZO
    We need to talk to Lady Kongming again.
[12:33] HANZO
    We're leaving Rabby Village
    for the time being.
[12:36] SHADOW
    Ma'am!
[12:46] AKIRA
    It's not of this era, nor is it anything
    like the guns I saw in my past life.
[12:53] AKIRA
    How do you even load this thing?
[12:56] AKIRA
    I came here looking for magical items,
    but all I found was this one gun.
SIGN    I'll play with you, Demon Lord
SIGN    I'll kill you, I'll play with you
SIGN    I'll kill you, I'll play
[13:11] GV
    Sodom's Flame.
[13:14] KUNAI
    "I'll play with you," huh?
[13:16] KUNAI
    Lots of problems on my plate.
[13:19] AKIRA
    I'll have Tahara take a look at this
    once I go back to the village.
[13:24] AKIRA
    The village...
[13:25] AKIRA
    I'll have to deal with
    them again when I get back...
[13:29] AKIRA
    She's been behaving lately,
[13:31] AKIRA
    but if it's to research the human body,
[13:33] AKIRA
    she'll cut open a million of us with
    a smile. The mad doctor, Yu Kirino.
[13:39] AKIRA
    And, because I made him a genius,
[13:42] AKIRA
    this man's mind is always thinking
    a hundred steps ahead—Isami Tahara.
[13:47] AKIRA
    He believes the Demon Lord of the Great
    Empire has a grand plan in place,
[13:51] AKIRA
    so he keeps trying to read
    between the lines with me.
[13:54] AKIRA
    At this rate, my mind and heart won't last.
[13:58] AKIRA
    I should summon another aide.
[14:01] KUNAI
    Administrator privileges.
[14:04] AKIRA
    Now, who do I pick?
SIGN    Takefumi Nomura
    Akane Fujisaki
    Ren Miyaoji
    Shizuka Matoba
    Masaru Katou
[14:06] AKIRA
    I should go ahead and summon an idiotic—
[14:08] AKIRA
    I mean, an endlessly
    carefree and cheery aide.
[14:12] AKIRA
    Good idea.
[14:13] AKIRA
    The nimble aide with lots of
    skills suited to espionage!
SIGN    Takefumi Nomura
    Akane Fujisaki

[14:19] KUNAI
    Akane Fujisaki, appear before me!
[14:27] KUNAI
    Welcome, Akane.
[14:31] AKANE
    Huh? It's Hakuto!
[14:33] AKANE
    Where are we?
[14:35] KUNAI
    Uh, it'd be easier to show you than to explain.
[14:41] AKANE
    Hey, wait! I'm not a cat!
[14:44] AKANE
    I may be as cute as one, though!
[14:46] KUNAI
    Omni Travel.
[14:49] AKANE
    What is this? A new area?
[14:52] AKANE
    Talk about high-budget.
[14:54] KUNAI
    Look closely, Akane.
[14:57] KUNAI
    Infinity Game's arenas didn't
    have such huge lizards.
[15:01] AKANE
    Hey, hey!
[15:03] AKANE
    There's even a big castle.
[15:06] KUNAI
    It's called the Holy Castle. We're
    in the Kingdom of Holy Light.
[15:10] AKANE
    Holy Light?
[15:12] AKANE
    Sorry, I'm an idiot. I've
    never heard of this country.
[15:16] KUNAI
    Of course you haven't. This isn't our world.
[15:20] AKANE
    It's not the Great Empire?!
[15:22] AKANE
    What happened to our Nightless City, then?
[15:25] KUNAI
    Where do I even begin?
[15:31] KUNAI
    Firstly, I found myself in a huge forest,
[15:35] KUNAI
    and it was so green, it didn't
    even feel like I was dreaming.
[15:37] AKANE
    Wha?
[15:40] AKANE
    Oh, wow! We're in a fantasy world!
[15:44] AKANE
    Not that I get why, but this should be fun!
[15:47] KUNAI
    Fun, eh?
[15:51] AKANE
    A hero summoning!
[15:52] AKANE
    Or wait, in your case, it'd
    be a Demon Lord summoning!
[15:57] KUNAI
    I'd like to complain about the way you
    said it, but I think you're close.
[16:01] AKANE
    If you're the Demon Lord, then
    I guess I can be the hero?
[16:05] KUNAI
    Why would you turn on me?! And
    they already have heroes.
[16:08] AKANE
    What? But I'm the better choice!
[16:11] AKANE
    I'm cute and strong!
[16:13] KUNAI
    I'm almost envious of your empty brain.
[16:17] KUNAI
    Omni Travel.
[16:20] AKANE
    And what's this place?
[16:23] KUNAI
    I'm showing you that this world
    isn't just fun and games.
[16:27] AKANE
    I see. Makes sense.
[16:29] KUNAI
    This world has many countries and
    states we know nothing about.
[16:34] KUNAI
    Even races other than humans
    known as monsters and demons.
[16:39] KUNAI
    There might even be gods here.
[16:43] KUNAI
    Even here, we're surrounded by foes,
[16:46] KUNAI
    just like in the world with the Great Empire.
[16:49] AKANE
    Right.
[16:50] AKANE
    If they're against us, then
    we'll just fight them.
[16:53] AKANE
    But...
[16:56] AKANE
    What do you want to achieve in this world?
[17:00] AKIRA
    I...
[17:02] AKIRA
    I want to reclaim all my
    administrator privileges.
[17:07] AKIRA
    The privileges that ruled the whole world
    from Nightless City in the Great Empire.
[17:13] AKIRA
    They symbolize the 15 years I
    spent developing Infinity Game*,
[17:17] AKIRA
    my blood, sweat, and tears,
    and my very identity.*
[17:22] AKIRA
    But what happens after I get them back?
[17:25] AKIRA
    I may be able to return to my world then.
[17:28] AKIRA
    But there's no guarantee.
[17:30] AKIRA
    Besides, do I even want to go back?
[17:34] KUNAI
    Let's see...
[17:36] KUNAI
    Once the smoke clears, and
    the world is peaceful...
[17:38] AKANE
    What then?
[17:40] KUNAI
    It might not be a bad idea to live
    together with you guys in Nightless City.
[17:44] AKANE
    Yeah?
[17:46] AKANE
    I see, I see.
[17:49] AKANE
    Oh, look, Hakuto. There's
    a weird bird up here.
[17:53] KUNAI
    I take you seriously for once,
    and this is how you respond?
[17:56] AKANE
    Someone's producing water
    from that magic circle!
[18:00] KUNAI
    This world contains powers
    commonly known as magic.
[18:03] AKANE
    Tell me, Hakuto.
[18:05] AKANE
    Do you think we can use magic too? Can we?
[18:08] KUNAI
    Highly unlikely.
[18:10] AKANE
    What?! But it'd be so much fun!
[18:18] ORGAN
    Found you,
[18:20] ORGAN
    Demon Lord.
[18:26] TRON
    Oh, there he is.
[18:31] ISAMI
    Hey there, old dude. How's it going?
[18:33] OWENGOAL
    Wha? You're no spring chicken yourself!
[18:36] OWENGOAL
    I have a name, and it's a
    good one! It's O Wengoal!
[18:40] ISAMI
    Doesn't feel very good
    to me. So, how about it?
[18:44] OWENGOAL
    I got intel from a thief group in Utius.
[18:47] OWENGOAL
    They said the Archbishop
    of the State of Right
[18:49] OWENGOAL
    is transporting a convoy of over 300 slaves.
[18:52] OWENGOAL
    And? Is the girl we talked about among them?
[18:55] OWENGOAL
    Yeah. There was a demihuman, a falconfolk.
[19:00] ISAMI
    Bingo, huh? Things are gonna get rocky.
[19:04] ISAMI
    Here's your reward as agreed, old dude.
[19:07] OWENGOAL
    Thanks...
[19:08] OWENGOAL
    Wait!
[19:09] OWENGOAL
    H-Hold up! What is this?!
[19:12] ISAMI
    Is that not enough?
[19:13] OWENGOAL
    It's ten times what we agreed!
[19:15] ISAMI
    Better that than not enough, right?
[19:17] ISAMI
    You'll make tons working with us.
[19:19] OWENGOAL
    Why, you... Hmm?
[19:21] LUNA
    You there!
[19:23] OWENGOAL
    Eek!
[19:24] LUNA
    Is what you just said true?!
[19:26] OWENGOAL
    Th-The demihuman? Yeah, it's true!
[19:29] ISAMI
    Which means that letter the
    girl brought was credible, too.
[19:34] ISAMI
    It might be worth trusting that the
    demihuman was once the Holy Maiden's servant.
[19:39] LUNA
    Then... she's alive...
[19:44] LUNA
    Hold out your hand.
[19:48] OWENGOAL
    Ouch!
[19:51] OWENGOAL
    Gah! What are you doing?!
[19:54] LUNA
    Punishing a sinner.
[19:57] LUNA
    O Cherub, please show mercy to this
    irredeemable bearded potbelly.
[20:08] LUNA
    That should do it.
[20:09] ISAMI
    Was that some kind of ritual?
[20:12] ISAMI
    Is that thing important?
[20:14] LUNA
    Huh? Not really. Just my original custom.
[20:17] ISAMI
    Wha?
[20:18] LUNA
    I'm much better than my sister, at least.
[20:21] LUNA
    I hear she pressed Mount Fuji's bloodied
    face onto the contract with her feet.
[20:26] ISAMI
    You don't say...
[20:28] LUNA
    Anyway, I'm off.
[20:32] YU
    Are you sure about this?
[20:34] ISAMI
    I doubt she'd listen if I stopped her.
[20:36] YU
    But...
[20:37] ISAMI
    Don't worry.
[20:38] ISAMI
    The Chief told me to overlook a thing or two.
[20:41] YU
    I see.
[20:42] YU
    If anything, I guess she would be an asset.
[20:46] ISAMI
    Yeah. The Chief always has a plan.
[20:53] SHRIMPFRY
    Wait, Luna.
[20:54] LUNA
    What?
[20:55] LUNA
    Not even you can stop me this time, Madam.
[20:59] SHRIMPFRY
    I would never be so boorish.
[21:01] SHRIMPFRY
    You should take my carriage.
[21:04] LUNA
    Huh?
[21:05] SHRIMPFRY
    It'd cause a furor if a Holy Maiden's
    carriage crossed the borders.
[21:09] SHRIMPFRY
    You would never be allowed free passage.
[21:13] SHRIMPFRY
    But it'd be different if you
    slipped by as part of my convoy.
[21:17] SHRIMPFRY
    In return, there's lots I'd
    like you to purchase for me.
[21:21] LUNA
    Thank you, Madam! You have my thanks!
[21:25] SHRIMPFRY
    My, my, it's not every day
    that you thank someone.
[21:30] LUNA
    H-Hey, I'm not that ungrateful!
[21:36] OLD BUTLER
    This way, Miss Luna.
[21:39] SHRIMPFRY
    Say, Luna.
[21:41] SHRIMPFRY
    May I ask what your dream is?
[21:44] LUNA
    I'm going to become the world's number
    one princess and brag to my friend!
[21:49] SHRIMPFRY
    A very, very admirable dream.
[21:53] SHRIMPFRY
    Safe travels, Luna.
[21:55] LUNA
    Yeah. I'll be back!
[22:00] LUNA
    Wait for me. I'm gonna save you for sure,
[22:03] LUNA
    Eagle!
[22:11] EAGLE
    Luna...
