[01:36] Ein
    What?
[01:38] Yuri
    What's wrong, Ein?
[01:46] Ein
    Monsters.
[01:47] Ein
    A huge horde is charging straight for us.
[01:54] Ein
    Even if there are tens of thousands
     of enemies, I'll defeat them all!
[01:59] Ein
    I won't let them lay a
    finger on the village!
[02:08] Ein
    There are so many...
[02:13] Ein
    If they all come crashing in...
[02:15] Ursula
    This wall certainly won't hold.
[02:17] Ursula
    The village will be annihilated.
[02:19] Yuri
    What do we do, Ein?
[02:24] Villager
    I guess this is it.
[02:26] Villager
    The monsters are going to kill us all.
[02:28] Woman
    It's all over.
[02:32] (Flashback) Mia
    I'm so glad you saved us!
[02:36] (Flashback) Villager4
    I want to try believing again...
[02:39] (Flashback) Villager4
    in a little something called hope.
[02:43] Ein
    Yuri, get in my eye.
[02:45] Yuri
    Yes!
[02:47] Ein
    Everyone, please stand back!
[02:53] Ein(M)
    I promised that I'd protect their smiles.
[02:57] Ein(M)
    Even if there are tens of thousands
    of enemies, I'll defeat them all!
[03:01] Ein(M)
    I won't let them lay a
    finger on the village!
[03:04] Ein
    Helix Bullet!
[03:07] Pina
    All right!
[03:08] Pina
    Now the village is—
[03:18] Alice
    Oh no, there are too many of them.
[03:21] Pina
    This isn't happening, Big Brother!
[03:37] Ein
    Super Appraise!
[03:40] Ein
    Wind Edge!
[03:43] Ein
    Lightning Flash!
[03:52] Ein
    Gravity Well!
[03:59] Ein
    Helix Bullet!
[04:05] Ein
    Back Attack.
[04:08] Ein
    Mirage Double.
[04:11] Ein
    Steel Yarn!
[04:29] Villager4
    Wow.
[04:34] Villager3
    He defeated those all by himself.
[04:38] Pina
    If you keep fighting like this,
    you'll be the first to collapse!
[04:42] Ein
    I'm not going down
    until I defeat every last one.
[04:51] Ein
    Steel Cutter Imbue...
[04:54] Ein
    Expansive Slash.
[04:57] Ursula
    Your range is growing and growing!
[04:59] Ursula
    But even for you, pushing your powers
    further than this is dangerous!
[05:03] Ursula
    Your body won't hold up!
[05:06] Ein
    I... still...
[05:11] Yuri
    Ein!
[05:13] Ein
    I still...
[05:15] Ein
    can't just run away!
[05:18] Ein
    Drawing Strike!
[05:38] Yuri
    Ein, you really defeated all of them!
[05:47] Yuri
    Ein?!
[05:52] Ein
    I'm... so glad...
[05:54] Ein
    I could... defend... them.
[05:57] Ein
    I'm so glad...
[05:58] Yuri
    Don't talk anymore.
[06:00] Yuri
    I will heal you!
[06:12] Ursula(M)
    Ein is really something.
[06:15] Ursula(M)
    He pushed himself so far
    that Yuri's healing couldn't keep up,
[06:18] Ursula(M)
    but he managed to slay
    all of those monsters solo.
[06:25] Ein
    Thank you, Yuri.
[06:27] Ein
    Are the villagers ok—
[06:29] Mia
    God!
[06:33] Villager3
    Thank you so much, Ein!
[06:36] Mia's Dad
    You've saved our village
    not once, but twice now.
[06:41] Villager4
    Hey.
[06:43] Villager4
    Can we really keep going like this?
[06:47] Villager3
    Where's this coming from so suddenly?
[06:49] Villager4
    Everyone...
[06:50] Villager4
    Ein nearly died protecting us,
    even though he barely knows us.
[06:54] Villager4
    He fought for us all on his own, too.
[07:02] Villager4
    And what are we doing?
[07:04] Villager4
    All we've done is curse
    our circumstances, our fate...
[07:07] Villager4
    and wait for death.
[07:11] Villager4
    Are we really going to accept that?!
[07:14] Villager3
    Well...
[07:16] Villager5
    But the lord said...
[07:18] Villager4
    This is why we keep giving up on everything!
[07:21] Villager4
    We keep making excuses, saying
    fighting won't change anything!
[07:24] Villager4
    Then we go and make living sacrifices!
[07:28] Villager4
    Did you feel nothing when
    you saw Ein fighting?!
[07:32] Villager4
    Ein didn't just save our lives!
    He saved our dignity!
[07:41] Villager3
    You're right.
[07:42] Villager3
    We've got to fight too!
[07:45] Villager5
    Of course we can't go on like this!
[07:47] Villager4
    We're going to take our
    future into our own hands!
[07:54] Yuri
    Ein, look!
[07:56] Yuri
    Everyone's regaining the will to live.
[08:00] Ein
    I'm so glad.
[08:02] Yuri
    Your efforts resonated with them.
[08:07] Yuri
    That makes me happy too.
[08:09] Ein
    I feel like I've gotten
    a little closer to you.
[08:13] Yuri
    Huh?
[08:14] Ein
    The first time we met,
    you saved me, right?
[08:19] Ein
    But that wasn't all.
[08:21] Ein
    You gave me so much more.
[08:25] Ein
    You gave me dignity and confidence.
[08:28] Ein
    Courage and so many warm feelings.
[08:30] Ein
    If I was able to give
     a little of that to the villagers,
[08:33] Ein
    then I'm delighted
    to be a little more like you.
[08:36] Ein
    After all, I want to see what you see.
[08:43] Ein
    Not from in front or behind...
[08:45] Ein
    I want to be right by your side
    to take in what you see.
[08:48] Yuri
    Ein...
[08:52] All
    Ah, to be young...
[08:59] Villager5
    It's fine, it's fine!
[09:00] Villager5
    Gotta go for it in your heyday.
[09:02] Villager
    We've decided as well that we
    want to fight for our future.
[09:05] Villager3
    That's right!
[09:06] Villager3
    We won't let Nigun push us around anymore!
[09:11] Nigun/Shadow
    What was that about me?
[09:17] Ein
    Nigun...
[09:22] Villager4
    We're saying that no one's going
     to follow you after this, Nigun!
[09:27] Villager3
    That's right!
[09:28] Villager3
    We're going to fight!
[09:30] Villagers
    You weren't defending us, but Ein did!
[09:36] Nigun
    Everyone...
[09:37] Nigun
    Can't you see that you're being fooled?
[09:40] Nigun
    Listen well.
[09:41] Nigun
    Ein is a demon.
[09:44] Villager4
    What?!
[09:45] Nigun
    I mean, just think about it.
    There's no way a normal human
[09:48] Nigun
    could defeat Hydra and an entire
    horde of monsters all by himself.
[09:53] Nigun
    This was all part of Ein's charade.
[09:56] Nigun
    And his aim is to take control
    of the Rayshik domain.
[10:00] Nigun
    But fear not!
[10:02] Nigun
    I will protect the Rayshik
     domain as I always have.
[10:06] Villager4
    What are you talking about?
[10:08] Nigun
    What?
[10:10] Villager3
    You say Ein's a demon?
[10:12] Villager3
    He wants control of this place?
[10:13] Villager3
    If so, fine by me!
[10:14] Villager3
    That'd still be a hundred times
     better than the status quo.
[10:17] Villager
    Yeah, that's right!
[10:19] Nigun
    Wh... Wh-What's this?
[10:22] Nigun
    All I've done is to protect this land...
[10:26] Villager4
    Listen, Nigun.
[10:27] Villager4
    The domain you so wish to protect...
[10:30] Villager4
    Aren't we part of it too?
[10:33] Villager4
    We don't need a feudal lord like
    you who's willing to sacrifice us!
[10:40] Villager4
    We need someone who'll fight alongside us!
[10:43] Villager4
    Like your father once did!
[10:46] Nigun
    My father?
[10:58] Nigun
    What's... happening...?
[11:01] Nigun
    It hurts...
[11:02] Nigun
    My head is splitting...
[11:05] Nigun
    Sh-Shadow... Help me, Shadow!
[11:10] Nigun
    They don't believe me.
[11:14] Nigun
    Tell them, Shadow.
[11:16] Nigun
    I... What should I do?
[11:20] Ein
    That's...
[11:22] Ein
    Appraise!
[11:25] Ein
    I can't read it.
[11:27] Ein
    The work of a concealment skill...
[11:28] Ein
    Just like that time with Zoid!
[11:31] Shadow
    Now then...
[11:33] Shadow
    I guess we ought to move on.
[11:35] Shadow
    Time to advance my piece.
[11:38] Ein
    Nigun!
[11:39] Ein
    Let go of that mirror!
[11:46] Nigun
    Hey, Shadow.
[11:48] Nigun
    Please tell me...
[11:49] Nigun
    What should I do?
[11:51] Shadow
    Oh, but it's so easy.
[11:53] Shadow
    You just need to keep
    doing exactly what I say.
[11:57] Shadow
    The pain, the suffering, the hardship...
    All of it will get better.
[12:01] Nigun
    Y-Yeah.
[12:02] Nigun
    You're right.
[12:04] Shadow
    Just kill them all.
[12:08] Shadow
    We have no use for those
    who won't obey you.
[12:11] Shadow
    Let's kill them.
[12:13] Shadow
    Just like we did your father.
[12:15] Nigun
    My father... was ill.
[12:18] Shadow
    Is that what you believe?
[12:21] Shadow
    I'll tell you the truth, Nigun.
[12:26] Nigun
    The truth?
[12:31] Nigun
    What does that mean?
[12:33] Shadow
    Don't act surprised, Nigun.
[12:39] (Flashback) Nigun
    Father!
[12:44] (Flashback) Nigun
    Don't you think it's time you took a break?
[12:47] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    Nigun!
[12:49] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    You're right. Why don't we do that?
[12:52] (Flashback) Villager
    Man, having our lord come and help
    personally is such a blessing!
[12:56] (Flashback) Villager
    The gods may just smite me!
[12:59] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    Oh, hardly.
[13:00] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    We all live here together,
    so it's only natural that I lend a hand.
[13:04] (Flashback) Woman4
    You truly are a wonderful person!
[13:07] Nigun(M)
    My father's amazing!
[13:09] Nigun(M)
    He's neither arrogant nor weak-willed,
    and he's loved by all.
[13:12] Nigun(M)
    One day, I want to be a great lord like him!
[13:18] (Flashback) Nigun
    F-Father, I want to help too...
[13:22] (Flashback) Villager
    Hey, are you all right?
[13:25] (Flashback) Nigun
    I'm as clumsy as ever...
[13:30] (Flashback) Woman
    Young lord, are you ill again?
[13:34] (Flashback) Nigun
    Oh, no, my fever's gone down.
[13:39] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    Nigun, you go play with
    your friends over there.
[13:44] (Flashback) Nigun
    But I want to...
[13:47] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    A child's job is to play.
[13:49] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    Go have all the fun you can with your friends.
[13:52] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    That's what you need right now.
[13:55] (Flashback) Nigun
    Understood.
[14:00] (Flashback) Kids
    Yeah!
[14:01] (Flashback) Kids
    Go, go! Do it!
[14:03] (Flashback) Nigun
    H-Hey, could I join in?
[14:07] (Flashback) Kid 1
    It's the lord's son.
[14:10] (Flashback) Kid 2
    Aren't you sick?
[14:12] (Flashback) Kid 3
    My mom said what you have is contagious,
    so I shouldn't play with you.
[14:16] (Flashback) Nigun
    Th-That's not true. I...
[14:19] (Flashback) Kid 1
    Run!
[14:22] (Flashback) Nigun
    I'm not sick...
[14:24] (Flashback) Nigun
    I'm just a little frail. That's all.
[14:27] (Flashback) Nigun
    You can't catch it...
[14:30] (Flashback) Villager6
    Have you heard the rumor about the young lord?
[14:34] (Flashback) Villager6
    You know how he looks
    nothing like his father?
[14:37] (Flashback) Villager6
    He's weak, too.
[14:39] (Flashback) Villager6
    They say he was a foundling
    taken from Abysswood.
[14:43] (Flashback) Nigun
    A foundling?
[14:57] (Flashback) Nigun
    I'm not really my father's child...
[15:00] (Flashback) Nigun
    That's why I'm always so clumsy.
[15:02] (Flashback) Nigun
    That's why I'm weak.
[15:04] (Flashback) Nigun
    I'll never be like him!
[15:15] (Flashback) Shadow
    It's fine if you're never like him.
[15:19] (Flashback) Shadow
    Just be yourself and do things your own way.
[15:22] (Flashback) Shadow
    There's no reason to compare
    yourself to your old man.
[15:26] (Flashback) Nigun
    Who are you?
[15:28] (Flashback) Nigun
    What are you doing here?
[15:29] (Flashback) Nigun
    And why do you look just like me?
[15:32] (Flashback) Shadow
    "What" this, "why" that...
    So many annoying questions.
[15:35] (Flashback) Shadow
    I'm Shadow, your imaginary pal.
[15:39] (Flashback) Shadow
    I'm your friend.
[15:42] (Flashback) Nigun
    My... friend?
[15:45] (Flashback) Shadow
    Yeah.
[15:46] (Flashback) Shadow
    But this has to stay between us.
[15:49] (Flashback) Shadow
    If anyone finds out about me, I'll disappear.
[15:51] (Flashback) Shadow
    Can you keep a secret?
[15:53] (Flashback) Nigun
    Yeah! I can do that!
[15:56] (Flashback) Shadow
    Good answer.
[15:58] (Flashback) Nigun
    This is my first time making a friend!
[16:15] (Flashback) Nigun
    Hey, Shadow, what do you
    want to do this morning?
[16:18] (Flashback) Shadow
    Let's have a race to see
    who can fall asleep fastest.
[16:23] (Flashback) Nigun
    I think you just want to take a nap.
[16:31] (Flashback) Nigun
    Father, are you all right?!
[16:35] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    Yes, I'm fine.
[16:37] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    I was just hit by some monster miasma.
[16:40] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    How sweet of you to worry.
[16:46] (Flashback) Nigun
    Shadow, I'm really concerned about my father.
[16:50] (Flashback) Nigun
    He seems so tired.
[16:54] (Flashback) Shadow
    In that case, I know of a medicinal
    herb that cures fatigue.
[16:58] (Flashback) Shadow
    Why don't you brew some
    and have him drink it?
[17:01] (Flashback) Shadow
    Take a look in that plant guide there.
[17:03] (Flashback) Nigun
    Okay. I will.
[17:09] (Flashback) Shadow
    That's it!
SIGN    Anti-Poison Grass
    Perennial plant native to the Rayshik domain.
    Effective against fatigue and as a strengthening tonic.
[17:11] (Flashback) Nigun
    Anti-poison grass...
[17:13] (Flashback) Nigun
    You're right!
[17:14] (Flashback) Nigun
    It says it's effective against fatigue!
[17:16] (Flashback) Nigun
    Thank you, Shadow!
[17:18] (Flashback) Nigun
    This will help Father get back on his feet!
[17:20] (Flashback) Shadow
    Don't mention it.
[17:22] (Flashback) Shadow
    I'm your friend, after all.
[17:26] (Flashback) Nigun
    Here you go, Father.
[17:28] (Flashback) Nigun
    It's a tea infused with a healing herb.
[17:30] (Flashback) Nigun
    It'll help you feel better.
[17:32] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    Is this for me?
[17:34] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    Thank you. I'll enjoy it now.
[17:39] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    Mm, that's delicious!
[17:41] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    I feel great now!
[17:47] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    You're very kind, Nigun.
[17:50] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    Never lose that kind heart of yours.
[17:53] (Flashback) Lord Rayshik
    With that, you'll make a fine lord someday.
[17:56] (Flashback) Nigun
    Yes, Father!
[18:02] Nigun(M)
    But his illness only grew worse by the day.
[18:06] Nigun(M)
    So every single day, I made an infusion
    with the herb and had him drink it,
[18:10] Nigun(M)
    hoping he would get well soon...
[18:14] (Flashback) Nigun
    Father, I brought you your daily...
[18:21] (Flashback) Nigun
    Fa... ther...?
[18:28] (Flashback) Shadow
    Come on. How long are you
     gonna keep bawling, Nigun?
[18:32] (Flashback) Nigun
    But Shadow...
[18:35] (Flashback) Nigun
    What am I going to do now?
[18:38] (Flashback) Nigun
    There's no way I can protect
    the Rayshik domain.
[18:42] (Flashback) Shadow
    I mean, sure, you're still immature.
[18:45] (Flashback) Shadow
    But hey, I'm here.
[18:49] (Flashback) Shadow
    I can make up for what you lack.
[18:52] (Flashback) Shadow
    I'll tell you everything you need to do.
[18:54] (Flashback) Shadow
    With the two of us, we can do this.
[18:56] (Flashback) Shadow
    Right, Nigun?
[18:59] (Flashback) Nigun
    Yeah, you're right.
[19:01] (Flashback) Nigun
    I'm not alone.
[19:02] (Flashback) Nigun
    You're always by my side.
[19:05] (Flashback) Nigun
    I'm so glad that you're here for me.
[19:08] (Flashback) Nigun
    Thank you, Shadow.
[19:10] (Flashback) Shadow
    Of course.
[19:11] (Flashback) Shadow
    That's what friends are for.
[19:15] Echo
    ...what friends are for...
[19:16] Nigun
    So what's this about "the truth"?
[19:19] Shadow
    You still don't get it?
[19:23] Shadow
    You killed your father.
[19:26] Shadow
    By your own hand!
[19:29] Ein
    Hey, Nigun!
[19:33] Ein
    What's wrong?
[19:36] Ein
    Nigun!
[19:37] Ein
    Pull yourself together!
[19:38] Ein
    Hey, Nigun!
[19:40] Ein
    Nigun!
[19:41] Echo
    Hey, Nigun! Nigun!
[19:43] Nigun
    You're lying!
[19:44] Nigun
    My father was ill, and that's what...
[19:46] Shadow
    You're still saying that?
[19:48] Shadow
    Just so we're clear, what you kept
    giving him was no medicinal herb.
[19:54] Shadow
    It was a poisonous weed.
[19:56] Nigun
    That's not true!
[19:57] Nigun
    The plant guide said it treated fatigue!
[20:00] Shadow
    Oh yeah, I did that.
SIGN    Anti-Poison Grass
    Perennial plant native to the Rayshik domain.
    Effective against fatigue and as a strengthening tonic.
SIGN    Toxi-Poison Grass
    The entire plant has trace amounts of poison, but consumed
    over prolonged periods, it will cause breathing difficulty
     and lead to death by cardiac arrest.
[20:14] Nigun
    You did?
[20:15] Shadow
    Yeah, that's right.
[20:17] Shadow
    But it is an effective treatment for fatigue.
[20:20] Shadow
    I mean, you can't feel tired
    when you're dead, right?!
[20:27] Shadow
    Remember when I said Ein was a demon?
[20:31] Shadow
    That was a lie.
[20:33] Shadow
    He's not the demon. I am.
[20:35] Shadow
    I'm the demon.
[20:39] Shadow
    My original plan was to take
    control of your father
[20:41] Shadow
    and establish a route to export
    humans to the demon realm.
[20:47] Shadow
    But he never ever let his guard down.
[20:50] Shadow
    In that regard, you made a great
    pawn. So easy to control.
[20:54] Shadow
    I just had to mention being friends,
    and you were already in the palm of my hand.
[21:00] Shadow
    Thanks to you, I was able to send
    loads of humans to the demon realm.
[21:05] Nigun
    What are you saying...?
[21:07] Shadow
    Seriously though, both you
    and your dad are so pathetic.
[21:11] Shadow
    A stupid father killed by his stupid son!
[21:15] Shadow
    Isn't that just great?
[21:16] Shadow
    Even though you're not related by blood,
[21:18] Shadow
    you've got something in common
    with your beloved daddy.
[21:22] Shadow
    Now, to set the record straight,
[21:25] Shadow
    you with your weak-ass heart and body
    were never cut out to be lord!
[21:29] Shadow
    You dumbass!
[21:35] Ein
    Nigun!
[21:44] Shadow
    We've finally become one, Nigun!
[21:48] Ein
    That's not Nigun...
[21:49] Ein
    Who are you?!
[21:51] Shadow
    Why don't I properly introduce myself?
[21:54] Shadow
    I am a viscount among the
     five ranks of demon nobility,
[21:56] Shadow
    Shadow the Enticer.
[21:58] Shadow
    It's nice to meet you...
[21:59] Shadow
    Hero.
[22:02] Ein
    A demon?
