[00:04] ---
    I can't believe it's been
    15 years since I started this...
[00:07] ---
    Talk about a long-lived hobby.
[00:10] ---
    Once it hits midnight, it's time to close the server
[00:11] ---
    "Akira Oono"
[00:13] ---
    and shut down the game once and for all.
[00:18] ---
    You've done your fair share of spreading
    bloodshed and tears across the land,
[00:22] ---
    Demon Lord of the Great Empire.
[00:26] ---
    Goodbye, Kunai.
[00:29] ---
    And good night.
[00:39] ---
    It's a world abandoned by God...
[00:42] ---
    A world that makes angels despair...
[00:45] ---
    Please, don't be afraid. I need you to listen...
[00:50] ---
    If you focus, you can surely hear it.
[00:53] ---
    The midnight bell is always the tone
    which signals the starting of "you."
[01:04] ---
    Wh-What the hell's this?!
[01:10] ---
    Hmm?
[01:12] ---
    That's a damn huge forest!
[01:17] ---
    What's with these shoes?
[01:19] ---
    No, it's not just my shoes...
    Since when did I dress like a Mafia boss?!
[01:25] ---
    I've got a bad feeling about this...
[01:32] ---
    Wha--?!
[01:34] ---
    It's Infinity Game's Demon Lord, Hakuto Kunai!
[01:38] ---
    "Demon Lord" "Hakuto Kunai"
[01:44] ---
    Open your eyes
[01:52] ---
    Dwelling in the eyes of
    that majestic figure are wishes
[01:55] ---
    Let's sing to the sleepless night
[01:59] ---
    Dramatically pull everything in,
    even light and darkness
[02:02] ---
    In order to smile again tomorrow, unafraid
[02:07] ---
    I learned that true kindness is
    actually solitude after looking at you
[02:14] ---
    I wanted to get closer to your heart
    and yet it's still so far away
[02:21] ---
    No matter what fate gets in my way,
    I'll face it head on
[02:27] ---
    With the bravery I chose with you,
    let's flap our wings and fly
[02:37] ---
    My heart is trembling with the hope that I found
[02:40] ---
    Resounding inside me
    move my heart
[02:43] ---
    Lurking behind my hidden true motives
[02:47] ---
    With a stronger gaze than anyone else
[02:50] ---
    Dwelling in the eyes of
    that majestic figure are wishes
[02:54] ---
    Let's sing to the sleepless night
[02:57] ---
    Dramatically pull everything in,
    even light and darkness
[03:00] ---
    In order to smile again tomorrow, unafraid
[03:04] ---
    Let's begin
[03:06] ---
    Open your eyes
[03:10] ---
    "Demon Lord's Descent"
[03:16] ---
    What are you doing here?
[03:21] ---
    You're kidding me!
    Why the hell am I this old man?!
[03:24] ---
    W-Wait, calm down...
[03:27] ---
    I shouldn't panic just yet.
[03:29] ---
    There's no way I'm stuck
    in a game of my own creation.
[03:34] ---
    W-Wait... I know a quick way
    to find out for sure.
[03:38] ---
    Administrator!
[03:40] ---
    "Administrator Privileges"
[03:43] ---
    Now we're talking!
[03:44] ---
    "Please enter the password."
[03:44] ---
    Just put in the password here...
[03:46] ---
    "Hakuto Kunai"
    "You do not meet the requirements."
[03:48] ---
    "You do not meet the requirements."
[03:48] ---
    Huh? Does this mean it isn't the game world?
[03:54] ---
    What now? I'd have read more light novels
    if I knew this would happen...
[04:06] ---
    Huh? Is someone there?
[04:14] ---
    I'm pretty sure Kunai was smug
    and sarcastic when he talked, right?
[04:20] ---
    Uh, well, um...
[04:23] ---
    Do you understand words, or what?
[04:25] ---
    You have to run!
[04:26] ---
    Huh?
[04:32] ---
    Is this ugly monster
    a pet of yours or something?
[04:36] ---
    You really ought to teach it
    some manners and how to behave.
[04:39] ---
    Hurry up and run! It's a demon!
[04:44] ---
    You feeble human,
    I'll feast on your flesh and blood!
[04:49] ---
    Scary!
[04:59] ---
    What the hell are you trying to pull?
[05:15] ---
    I pretty much know the game's
    system inside and out, but...
[05:19] ---
    ...I don't recall making a monster like that.
[05:22] ---
    The same goes for that girl.
[05:26] ---
    D-Demon Lord, please don't eat me!
[05:30] ---
    I'm not very tasty at all!
[05:33] ---
    Are you kidding me?
    Who the hell do you think I am?
[05:36] ---
    Hmm? We understand each another?
[05:39] ---
    Relax. I'm not nearly hungry
    enough to resort to that just yet.
[05:44] ---
    A-Are you serious?
[05:46] ---
    Yeah, I'm serious.
[05:48] ---
    Anyways, what's the reason behind
    you calling me Demon Lord?
[05:53] ---
    B-Because... You defeated
    Greole without breaking a sweat.
[05:57] ---
    If you're not an angel, you must be
    the Demon Lord the legends proclaim...
[06:02] ---
    My name... is Kunai.
[06:04] ---
    I've got nothing to do with a Demon Lord.
[06:07] ---
    I-I see...
[06:09] ---
    So? What's your name?
[06:12] ---
    My name... is Aku.
[06:17] ---
    The Demon Lord and Aku?
[06:19] ---
    Aku?
[06:21] ---
    Th-That's a very nice name.
[06:24] ---
    And... let's see...
[06:26] ---
    Have you heard of the country Japan?
[06:29] ---
    S-Sorry, I've never heard of it.
[06:36] ---
    This is the Kingdom of Holy Light
    where people revere the Cherub.
[06:41] ---
    Kingdom of Holy Light... Cherub...
[06:44] ---
    Yes. The monster just now had been
    sealed by the great Cherub in the past.
[06:50] ---
    Beneath the Cherub are the
    Three Holy Maidens, the Holy Knights,
[06:55] ---
    and an organization called
    the Holy Church too.
[06:59] ---
    It's totally all stuff straight out
    of your everyday fantasy world...
[07:04] ---
    But why summon a regular guy on
    the verge of getting called old like me?
[07:10] ---
    Hmm? What if Hakuto Kunai
    was the one summoned here...
[07:14] ---
    ...and I just got dragged into it?
[07:21] ---
    How about you clean yourself up?
[07:24] ---
    Is that okay?
[07:26] ---
    Why wouldn't it be okay?
[07:27] ---
    I'll be waiting off in the distance,
    so wash all that muck off yourself.
[07:33] ---
    Thank you, I will!
[07:39] ---
    Yell for me when you're finished.
[07:41] ---
    Okay!
[07:49] ---
    To think there was such a pretty
    lake in the Forest of Wishes...
[07:54] ---
    This is the first time in my life
    I've dipped in water this clear!
[07:58] ---
    I'm so glad to be alive right now!
[08:02] ---
    In any case, I wonder who
    in the world that person is.
[08:08] ---
    Wh-What if he wants me to get clean
    before he makes a meal of me?!
[08:13] ---
    "Administrator Privileges"
[08:13] ---
    I can finally use administrator privileges!
[08:16] ---
    Administrator?
[08:18] ---
    Item file.
[08:21] ---
    Wh-What's that?!
[08:26] ---
    D-Do you think he's getting
    out his cooking utensils?!
[08:31] ---
    Go on and use this bath towel and soap.
[08:35] ---
    Huh? Is this that thing they call shabon?
[08:39] ---
    Shabon? What's this, the Edo period?
[08:42] ---
    Edo period?
[08:44] ---
    Just forget it.
[08:46] ---
    Just to be safe, I'm going
    to take a quick look around.
[08:55] ---
    My skill points are dropping, and fast...
[08:58] ---
    Just like Infinity Game, you must get
    points to learn skills through combat.
[09:05] ---
    But how am I going to build
    points from here on out?
[09:09] ---
    Making those trash items used 5 points,
    so I've got a bit over 30 left...
[09:15] ---
    If this was the game, I should get
    more or less points based on
[09:20] ---
    my level difference with the enemy.
[09:22] ---
    D-Demon Lord.
[09:24] ---
    Thanks for waiting.
    The shabon you gave me was wonderful.
[09:29] ---
    I keep telling you, I'm no Demon Lord.
[09:32] ---
    Anyways, do monsters like that
    last one pop up around here often?
[09:36] ---
    O-Of course not!
[09:38] ---
    If Greole showed up often, the whole
    kingdom would get demolished!
[09:42] ---
    What? You're saying he's
    actually pretty dangerous?
[09:46] ---
    Mm-hmm!
[09:47] ---
    Hmm... Aku, do you know where
    his den is or where he sleeps?
[09:53] ---
    I could use some more skill points to... Ahem!
[09:56] ---
    I'd like to investigate a bit.
[09:58] ---
    I heard Greole used to be sealed
    at the Wishing Shrine in this forest.
[10:04] ---
    Wishing Shrine, huh?
[10:07] ---
    Would you be able to guide me there?
[10:09] ---
    A-All right.
[10:16] ---
    Huh?
[10:16] ---
    I'll carry you, so ride on my back.
[10:18] ---
    N-No way! You don't want someone
    as filthy as me riding on your back!
[10:24] ---
    Sorry, but I'm short on time.
[10:26] ---
    I won't ask again. Hurry up.
[10:33] ---
    Oh, come on! You're so against it
    that you cry? That really hurts...
[10:39] ---
    For the longest time,
    I've been a nuisance to the village.
[10:44] ---
    Which is why I gather all
    the village's garbage...
[10:47] ---
    ...and throw out all the human waste.
[10:50] ---
    I've done the best that I can, but...
[10:54] ---
    In other words, you do garbage disposal
    and water treatment, right?
[10:58] ---
    It's a very important job.
[11:00] ---
    But they... The villagers say
    I'm dirty and smelly...
[11:04] ---
    And then, they finally cast me out
    as a sacrifice to Greole...
[11:10] ---
    All the people in the village say
    they'll get dirty if they touch me.
[11:16] ---
    That's why...!
[11:21] ---
    W-Wait! Hold on! If you touch me...
[11:24] ---
    Nobody would get dirty
    doing something like that.
[11:28] ---
    With bodies like ours, all it takes is
    a wash and we're as good as new.
[11:37] ---
    Thank you very much, Demon Lord.
[11:43] ---
    Don't you think you're holding on a bit too tight?
[11:46] ---
    I-I might be.
[11:49] ---
    But this is the first time I've
    touched anyone like this before...
[11:55] ---
    "Hakuto Kunai"
    "Race: Human" "Sex: Male" "Age: 45" "Height: 187cm"
[12:00] ---
    "Demon King Greole"
    "Race: High Demon"
[12:05] ---
    "Hakuto Kunai" "Aku"
[12:08] ---
    Can you read this, Aku?
[12:09] ---
    Wow! Demon Lord has pretty handwriting!
[12:15] ---
    You can tell that these are letters?
[12:17] ---
    Of course.
[12:18] ---
    So you can read it then?
[12:21] ---
    Hakuto Kunai... Aku...
[12:23] ---
    One plus one equals two.
[12:26] ---
    G. A. M. E. Right?
[12:29] ---
    Yeah...
[12:30] ---
    I'm not exactly sure the reason for it,
    but our languages must be the same.
[12:36] ---
    It's safe to say we can communicate.
[12:39] ---
    By the way, is the Wishing Shrine
    one of those places?
[12:42] ---
    The kind where you toss money in and pray?
[12:46] ---
    I'm not sure of all the details myself,
[12:48] ---
    but using the power of the shrine,
    the Cherub managed to seal Greole there.
[12:54] ---
    The shrine's power?
[12:56] ---
    Yeah, that's right. Legend says it can
    grant the wishes of those who visit.
[13:02] ---
    Occult, is it?
[13:04] ---
    I-If you go to the shrine, you could
    obtain enough power to rule the world!
[13:09] ---
    I don't want that power!
[13:12] ---
    "Wishing Shrine"
[13:20] ---
    This smell...
[13:23] ---
    Aku, wait right here.
    It seems dangerous in there.
[13:26] ---
    O-Okay.
[13:42] ---
    So that's where the smell is coming from...
[13:45] ---
    Bleh!
[13:48] ---
    I see...
[13:51] ---
    You're the Demon Lord, indeed.
[13:56] ---
    "Idol"
[13:56] ---
    I've granted many wishes thus far,
    but I believe this will be my last.
[14:03] ---
    H-Hold up! What exactly do you know?
[14:07] ---
    Was it you who summoned me here?
[14:10] ---
    I suppose you could say
    it was those people, not me.
[14:15] ---
    "We wish for the Demon Lord to descend."
[14:19] ---
    These guys?
[14:21] ---
    And what else? Did those guys
    ask you to summon Greole as well?
[14:26] ---
    Greole broke the seal by
    his own power and revived.
[14:31] ---
    He used the surrounding forests as his den...
[14:35] ---
    ...and demanded sacrifices
    from the nearby villages.
[14:39] ---
    Sacrifices?
[14:45] ---
    They wished for the Demon Lord's descent,
[14:48] ---
    but Greole appeared in order
    to stop it from happening...
[14:51] ---
    ...and slaughtered all of those people.
[14:54] ---
    Can you just return me to the world I came from?
[14:58] ---
    I cannot grant that wish.
[15:00] ---
    It defies a wish that was made.
[15:02] ---
    Huh?! No, it doesn't!
[15:05] ---
    However, as you are my final visitor,
    I shall grant you this.
[15:16] ---
    Don't gimme this shit!
[15:18] ---
    Having to wear a ring like this
    sounds more like a punishment to me!
[15:22] ---
    I pray that your wish comes true...
[15:26] ---
    I was once very pure and a sight to behold...
[15:31] ---
    But many years of granting wicked
    wishes to humans changed me to this.
[15:37] ---
    I pray that your... wish comes true...
[15:46] ---
    What am I supposed to do with a ring like this?
[15:58] ---
    How was it? Did you wish for anything?
[16:02] ---
    Was it to rule the world after all?
    Or perhaps some form of debauchery?
[16:09] ---
    Yoga! Yoga!
[16:10] ---
    Ouch, that hurts! Please stop it, Demon Lord!
[16:15] ---
    Aku, are there any large cities in the area?
[16:19] ---
    There's the Kingdom of Holy Light's
    Holy Capital...
[16:22] ---
    That's fine. Can you draw me a map or something?
[16:26] ---
    D-Demon Lord! Does this mean you
    don't want me to come with you?
[16:31] ---
    Hmm? You want to come along?
[16:34] ---
    I-Is that a problem?
[16:36] ---
    I mean, I can't just go home after
    being cast out as a sacrifice...
[16:42] ---
    It might come in handy having
    someone from this world at my side...
[16:50] ---
    Sure, why not?
[16:53] ---
    Thank you very much!
[16:55] ---
    Could we possibly swing
    by my village before we go?
[16:59] ---
    It's not very much, but I have a few things.
[17:01] ---
    All right.
[17:04] ---
    In that case, let's get going, Aku.
[17:08] ---
    It won't take long with your legs!
[17:13] ---
    If the situation is bad enough
    to need sacrifices,
[17:16] ---
    why hasn't the capital--rather,
    the kingdom done anything?
[17:20] ---
    This area is far from the Holy Capital, so...
[17:23] ---
    I see. We must be way out there.
[17:26] ---
    Um, where do you come from, Demon Lord?
[17:30] ---
    W-Well, from way out there...
[17:33] ---
    The area around my village
    is all withered from Greole's curse.
[17:38] ---
    Even the water under the soil
    is seething with poison.
[17:42] ---
    That's why being able to bathe
    in clean water like I did before
[17:46] ---
    is a luxury I've never had in my life.
[17:49] ---
    Oh, Demon Lord!
    My village is just inside that fence.
[17:59] ---
    My house is that way.
[18:11] ---
    "Stealth Stance" Stealth Stance.
[18:11] ---
    "Stealth Stance"
[18:16] ---
    Huh?
[18:17] ---
    Player messaging feature.
[18:20] ---
    Message. Aku, can you hear me?
[18:20] ---
    "Message"
[18:23] ---
    H-Huh? I hear Demon Lord's
    sinister voice in my head...
[18:28] ---
    How dare you call it sinister!
[18:30] ---
    Don't worry about me. Just know I'm nearby.
[18:34] ---
    O-Okay!
[18:36] ---
    Hey, trash face. What are you doing here?
[18:40] ---
    Did you think you could escape and come back?
[18:42] ---
    You're garbage!
[18:42] ---
    You pile of shit!
[18:44] ---
    Ow!
[18:45] ---
    Take that!
[18:48] ---
    Those bastards!
[18:52] ---
    If they displease you, why not purge them?
[18:56] ---
    I have the authority to dispose
    of any people you deem unbecoming.
[19:01] ---
    What the hell?
    That's because it was only a game!
[19:05] ---
    It's a curious thing you say...
[19:07] ---
    That authority, Infinity Game, that system...
[19:12] ---
    That twisted country was made by
    none other than yourself, was it not?
[19:20] ---
    It's you who is the root of all evil.
[19:25] ---
    If I'm a fiend who has purged
    over 4 million people, then...
[19:30] ---
    ...you are the one who leads
    the world towards total destruction.
[19:32] ---
    I'm hearing things...
    I've got to be hearing things!
[19:42] ---
    Take that!
[19:46] ---
    Wh-Who the hell are you?!
[19:49] ---
    D-Don't tell me you're one of
    Greole's underlings or something!
[19:52] ---
    Please, spare our village!
    We already offered a sacrifice!
[20:04] ---
    Aku, hurry up and get your stuff.
[20:07] ---
    A-All right, Demon Lord.
[20:09] ---
    D-Did you say Demon Lord?!
[20:12] ---
    D-Demon Lord!
[20:15] ---
    Aw, come on! Don't say stuff like that!
[20:18] ---
    Trash face!
    You're screwing the village yet again!
[20:22] ---
    Piles of shit like you should get lost!
    You're a plague!
[20:32] ---
    Huh?
[20:38] ---
    My house!
[20:38] ---
    The lord will hear about this!
[20:41] ---
    Let's go, Aku.
[20:42] ---
    R-Right, Demon Lord.
[20:49] ---
    Sorry we couldn't get your things.
[20:51] ---
    More importantly,
    was it all right to do all that?
[20:55] ---
    D-Don't get me wrong.
    I was just warming the place up.
[20:59] ---
    You might even say that was an act of kindness!
[21:03] ---
    D-Demon Lord... Why would you
    rescue someone like me?
[21:09] ---
    Don't say someone like you.
[21:11] ---
    I think you're doing a swell job at living.
[21:14] ---
    Don't let other people
    determine your worth for you.
[21:18] ---
    Demon Lord...
[21:21] ---
    What do you think?
    Did all that make you feel any better?
[21:25] ---
    W-Well... I think I feel
    just a little better now!
[21:32] ---
    Then let's get to this Holy Capital or whatever!
[21:35] ---
    Right!
[21:37] ---
    Thanks for letting me come!
[21:41] ---

    I wish I could go back
[21:55] ---
    Is what someone said
[21:58] ---
    But I don't have a past
[22:03] ---
    For eternity
[22:06] ---
    That nothing would change
[22:08] ---
    Is what I thought
[22:13] ---
    Over and over
[22:16] ---
    Rubbing my eyes to make sure
[22:19] ---
    I'm overwhelmed by emotion
[22:23] ---
    Like a lie
    Bright! Still locked up
[22:26] ---
    Hiding what I couldn't give up
[22:29] ---
    That miracle lit up by my heart
[22:34] ---
    Not sought out, not doubted
[22:37] ---
    But still you believed
[22:40] ---
    As if to teach me
[22:44] ---
    RE NEW ME
    Now that I'm laughing with you
[22:50] ---
    I can embrace it all
[22:57] ---
    Once again
[23:11] ---
    Taken to another world.

    One Infinity Game player
    had this to say with a chuckle:
[23:17] ---
    "These days, practically everyone is
    getting in on the 'another world' genre."
[23:22] ---
    I'd now like to speak on behalf of all
    protagonists taken to another world...
[23:29] ---
    "At least let me wipe
    my hard drive before I go!"
[23:33] ---
    What's a hard drive?
