**[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*

"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] ---**

**[22:16] ---**
*Rubbing my eyes to make sure*
**[22:19] ---**

**[22:23] ---**
* Like a lie*
* Bright! Still locked up*
**[22:26] ---**
*Hiding what I couldn't give up*

**[22:37] ---**
*But still you believed*
**[22:40] ---**
*As if to teach me*

**[23:33] ---**
What's a hard drive?
