W-Why do you know my name?!
[04:58] DEMON OVERLORD
Because I have summoned you here.
[05:00] UCHIMURA

[05:01] DEMON OVERLORD
As one of the Four Elite Generals,
the Overseas Manager.
[05:05] UCHIMURA
My job title sounds normal?!
[05:07] UCHIMURA {M}
Demon Overlord? A general?
[05:09] UCHIMURA {M}
Who is? Me?
[05:10] UCHIMURA {M}
Why the demoted salaryman?!
[05:12] DEMON OVERLORD
Dennosuke Uchimura.
[05:14] DEMON OVERLORD
You were assigned overseas
after your fifth year.
[05:16] DEMON OVERLORD
You learned the local language,
[05:17] DEMON OVERLORD
educated the locals, and
successfully led the new business.
[05:22] UCHIMURA {M}
He already did a background check on me?!
[05:24] DEMON OVERLORD
I was convinced after looking
at your career records
[05:26] DEMON OVERLORD
that you are worthy of my army.
[05:29] UCHIMURA {M}
I'm happy that he acknowledges my work,
[05:31] UCHIMURA {M}
but joining a Demon Army?
[05:33] UCHIMURA {M}
This is more like leaving
humanity than a career path.
[05:35] UCHIMURA {M}
Forget climbing the corporate ladder,
this is falling off of it...
[05:38] DEMON OVERLORD
The Demon Army welcomes you as one of
the Four Elite Generals with full benefits.
[05:42] UCHIMURA
Full benefits?!
[05:43] DEMON OVERLORD
I'll grant you the compensation and authority
[05:45] DEMON OVERLORD
equivalent to the department
managers of your world.
[05:47] UCHIMURA
The department managers?!
[05:48] DEMON OVERLORD
You may choose your subordinates
at your discretion,
[05:51] DEMON OVERLORD
and an office will be provided.
[05:52] UCHIMURA
The terms are so good I can't complain!
[05:54] DEMON OVERLORD
Of course, if you decline the offer,
I'll send you back to your own world.
[05:57] DEMON OVERLORD
I have no right to force you to accept.
[06:00] UCHIMURA {M}
He even respects workers' rights?!
[06:02] UCHIMURA {M}
Demon Overlord, you're super cool.
[06:04] DEMON OVERLORD
What do you think, Uchimura?
[06:08] VOICES {M}
Tch, you should have just kept your
mouth shut and do as you're told.
[06:10] VOICES {M}
Uchimura, could you go
apologize to our client?
[06:10] VOICES {M}
Just shut up and do as you're told.
[06:12] VOICES {M}
Thanks for the hard work.
I'll take it from here.
[06:13] VOICES {M}
They'll take us lightly if
someone higher up does it.
[06:16] VOICES {M}
Bow your head for us and
everything will go smoothly, all right?
[06:16] VOICES {M}
Get the materials together by tonight.
[06:20] UCHIMURA
I wasn't valued by my boss.
[06:24] UCHIMURA
In other words, I was not able to
meet the company's expectations.
[06:27] UCHIMURA
Those who cannot contribute to the
organization are considered trash.
[06:30] UCHIMURA
I believe there's no need for trash to be
working under someone like you, Demon Overlord.
[06:34] UCHIMURA
So we could just pretend we
didn't have this conversat—
[06:36] DEMON OVERLORD
Do not accept the fool's nonsense, Uchimura!
[06:41] DEMON OVERLORD
Fools only value what they see.
[06:44] DEMON OVERLORD
They pay no attention to the
work done behind the scenes.
[06:46] DEMON OVERLORD
Foolish indeed!
[06:48] DEMON OVERLORD
But I have seen your work.
[06:55] DEMON OVERLORD
And I thought, how I want you!
[06:58] DEMON OVERLORD
How I can bring out your full potential!
[07:03] DEMON OVERLORD
Hear me, Uchimura.
[07:04] DEMON OVERLORD
It is not for you to determine
whether you're worthless.
[07:07] DEMON OVERLORD
Nor is it for your previous
employer or company.
[07:09] DEMON OVERLORD
It is I!
[07:10] DEMON OVERLORD
I have called upon you because I need you!
[07:16] DEMON OVERLORD
Now decide, Dennosuke Uchimura.
[07:18] DEMON OVERLORD
Will you serve a fool and be crushed?
[07:20] DEMON OVERLORD
Or will you serve me and aim for the top?
[07:27] UCHIMURA
Still... I...
[07:29] ULMANDRA
I object.
[07:32] DEMON OVERLORD
Ulmandra.
[07:33] ULMANDRA
Forgive my rudeness, my lord.
[07:36] ULMANDRA
I cannot fathom how a weak human like him can
serve as one of the Four Elite Generals.
[07:41] SYLPHID
I object as well, my lord.
[07:43] GNOME
It is impossible for a human.
[07:46] UCHIMURA {M}
These people are right.
[07:48] DEMON OVERLORD
Sylphid and Gnome, you object as well?
[07:52] DEMON OVERLORD
Then...
[07:53] DEMON OVERLORD
we shall test him!
[07:55] UCHIMURA
A test?!
[07:57] DEMON OVERLORD
We shall test your abilities
before deciding.
[08:00] DEMON OVERLORD
Then you will have nothing
to object to, yes?
[08:02] UCHIMURA
Oh, no, Demon Overlord, sir!
[08:04] UCHIMURA
I have no powers whatso—
[08:04] ULMANDRA
I see! Interesting!
[08:07] ULMANDRA
I heard otherworldly humans
have special powers.
[08:11] ULMANDRA
Then I shall see to it!
[08:13] ULMANDRA
Try and stop this!
[08:14] ULMANDRA
My deadly blow!
[08:16] UCHIMURA {M}
Deadly blow?! Is my death inevitable?!
[08:19] DEMON OVERLORD
Do not get ahead of yourself, Ulmandra!
[08:22] ULMANDRA
Why do you stop me, my lord?!
[08:24] DEMON OVERLORD
When your emotions run wild, you
lose sight of everything else.
[08:27] DEMON OVERLORD
That is a bad habit of yours!
[08:29] DEMON OVERLORD
Take a good look!
[08:31] DEMON OVERLORD
He's fainted from the shock just now.
[08:36] ULMANDRA
Are you serious?
[08:37] SYLPHID
Just from that?
[08:39] GNOME
It's as if he's only human.
[08:41] DEMON OVERLORD
He is only human.
[08:43] ULMANDRA
What?! Um...
[08:45] ULMANDRA
What about magic or special abilities?
[08:48] DEMON OVERLORD
None. He's just an ordinary human.
[08:50] ULMANDRA
You want to make a human one of
the Demon Army's Four Elite Generals?
[08:53] DEMON OVERLORD
Indeed.
[08:55] ULMANDRA
Unacceptable!
[08:57] ULMANDRA
Even if it is your decision,
my lord, I object!
[09:00] GNOME
The Demon Army is made up of monsters.
[09:02] GNOME
If an incompetent human
entered a power struggle
[09:05] GNOME
between demons and demi-humans,
he'd be eaten alive immediately.
[09:10] GNOME
Well, it's you demons who are fueling
the confrontation to begin with.
[09:14] ULMANDRA
What did you say?!
[09:15] ULMANDRA
It's you demi-humans and your complaints
that make things difficult!
[09:17] GNOME
See? That's what I'm talking about.
[09:18] ULMANDRA
That's the kind of attitude
that pisses me off!
[09:21] DEMON OVERLORD
It's true that there is
friction within our military.
[09:24] ULMANDRA {background}
You've been this way for a while now,
but why are you always so bossy?!
[09:24] DEMON OVERLORD
However, that is exactly the
reason why I want him to join.
[09:27] DEMON OVERLORD
What I expect from Uchimura
[09:27] ULMANDRA {background}
Seriously, all you do is
complain, complain, complain.
[09:30] DEMON OVERLORD
is neither a sturdy body nor
special power, but resourcefulness.
[09:33] UCHIMURA
Huh?
[09:34] UCHIMURA
What?!
[09:35] UCHIMURA
It's impossible!
[09:35] UCHIMURA
There is no way I can stop that kick!
[09:37] UCHIMURA
My arm will shatter and my organs
will erupt the moment it makes contact!
[09:40] UCHIMURA
I'll just be an object when she's done with me!
[09:41] DEMON OVERLORD
Calm down.
[09:43] DEMON OVERLORD
I am not expecting physical
abilities from you.
[09:46] UCHIMURA
Oh...
[09:46] DEMON OVERLORD
Very well!
[09:48] DEMON OVERLORD
I shall give you a fitting exam.

are done here.
[12:10] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra.
[12:15] ULMANDRA
Sir Tarius, will you lend us your ear today?
[12:19] UCHIMURA {M}
I'm saved! If my predecessor
can act as a mediator,
[12:23] UCHIMURA {M}
it'd help a little... Hm?

were going well at first, but...
[12:51] (Flashback) ULMANDRA

under these conditions.
[12:55] (Flashback) TARIUS
Nay.
[12:56] (Flashback) ULMANDRA

[12:57] (Flashback) TARIUS
Nay! Nay!
[12:58] ULMANDRA
He suddenly started to deny
everything and pick a fight.
[12:59] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
If that's the case, I'm
breaking off negotiations!
[13:02] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
Are you sure you want that?!
[13:03] ULMANDRA
I came back on several different days
to try and wrap up the negotiations.
[13:07] ULMANDRA
But every single time, he'd
continue to say "Nay! Nay!"
[13:09] ULMANDRA
On top of that, he tried bringing in
this trash to throw around in the room.
[13:12] ULMANDRA
It's all his fault!
[13:18] ULMANDRA
For that reason, I leave the rest to you.

I thought I'd try having a proper

It's impossible!

His attitude and his whole being are huge.
[16:03] ULMANDRA
You saw how he has no
interest in making a deal!
[16:06] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra, you're cutting
your losses too early.
[16:09] UCHIMURA
Nothing has started yet.
[16:10] ULMANDRA
Huh?
[16:11] UCHIMURA
The size of one's body doesn't matter
when moving forward with negotiations.
[16:16] UCHIMURA
The discussion isn't going well
[16:17] UCHIMURA
because there's a
misunderstanding somewhere.
[16:20] UCHIMURA
The only way to reconcile is to make
eye contact with the other person,
[16:23] UCHIMURA
be persistent, and build
a relationship of trust.
[16:28] UCHIMURA
Just watch me!

[17:05] ULMANDRA
Besides, where has Sir Tarius gone?!
[17:08] ULMANDRA
Don't tell me he went home?!

No, he's currently in the process of making
a pact agreement with the Demon Overlord.
[17:14] ULMANDRA
What?
[17:15] ULMANDRA
A pact agreement?
[17:17] ULMANDRA

[17:24] UCHIMURA
I received Mr. Tarius's approval last night.
[17:27] ULMANDRA
In just one night?
[17:29] ULMANDRA
Impossible...
[17:30] ULMANDRA
After he's been so difficult
this whole time.
[17:32] ULMANDRA
Why?!
[17:33] ULMANDRA
Just how in the world did you do it?!
[17:34] UCHIMURA
There is a saying: "Know
yourself, know your enemy,
[17:37] UCHIMURA
and you will never be defeated
in a hundred battles."
[17:40] ULMANDRA
Huh?
[17:42] UCHIMURA
You thought that Mr. Tarius was refusing
to negotiate, right, Ms. Ulmandra?
[17:47] ULMANDRA
Y-Yeah. That's because he was...
[17:50] (Flashback) TARIUS
Nay!
[17:51] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
Huh?
[17:51] (Flashback) TARIUS
Nay! Nay!
[17:53] UCHIMURA
Actually, Mr. Tarius thought that
the negotiations were going well.
[17:57] ULMANDRA
Huh?
[17:58] UCHIMURA
I remembered.
[18:00] UCHIMURA
In the past, when negotiating with the
person in charge of an overseas company,
[18:03] UCHIMURA
I was told no many times...
[18:05] UCHIMURA
No matter how many times I begged them
to reconsider, nothing changed.
[18:08] UCHIMURA
The more I discussed the details,
[18:10] UCHIMURA
the more emotional he became, and I thought,
[18:12] UCHIMURA
"Oh man, this negotiation is going
to fall through." So I gave up.
[18:15] UCHIMURA
However, after that, somehow he seemed
pleased and even asked to shake my hand.
[18:21] ULMANDRA
Huh? Why?
[18:22] UCHIMURA
To them, emotional and lively
discussions are a good thing.
[18:25] UCHIMURA
They wanted to talk more in-depth
about the conditions.
[18:28] UCHIMURA
It was meant to be a positive gesture.
[18:30] UCHIMURA
In some countries and cultures,
being emotional and passionate is good.
[18:34] UCHIMURA
That's where the misunderstanding came from.
[18:36] ULMANDRA
A misunderstanding...
[18:38] ULMANDRA
So the reason why he looked
ready to fight was...
[18:40] UCHIMURA
Yes. When I looked him in the eyes and
really talked it out, he told me.
[18:46] UCHIMURA
When you told him that you were
going to break off negotiations,
[18:49] UCHIMURA
he felt perplexed and didn't
understand why.
[18:52] UCHIMURA
And, one more thing.
[18:54] UCHIMURA
It seems it's common courtesy
for the Minotaur Tribe
[18:57] UCHIMURA
to bring hay into the
room when staying over.
[19:00] ULMANDRA
Common courtesy?!
[19:02] UCHIMURA
Yes. They want to make sure not to break the
provided bed since they have such big bodies.
[19:06] UCHIMURA
However, the hay was taken away.
[19:08] UCHIMURA
Because of that, he had to sleep
on the floor and was sleep-deprived.
[19:12] ULMANDRA
So the hay was his bed...
[19:14] UCHIMURA
He was feeling irritated because
he couldn't convey his thoughts
[19:17] UCHIMURA
in a way that you'd understand.
[19:18] TARIUS {flashback}
Why don't you understand?!
[19:19] ULMANDRA
What you mean is...
[19:21] ULMANDRA
It was I who failed to make an effort
to understand the other person.
[19:25] TARIUS
No.
[19:26] ULMANDRA
Sir Tarius.
[19:28] TARIUS
Was both of us. Did not
know it was rude. Sorry.
[19:44] TARIUS
Thank you, Uchimura.
[19:46] TARIUS
All thanks to you.
[19:47] UCHIMURA
Nonsense. We appreciate
your continued guidance.
[19:54] ULMANDRA
A misunderstanding...
[19:56] ULMANDRA
You wouldn't normally pick
up on something like that...
[19:58] TARIUS {background}
Bye!
[19:58] DEMON OVERLORD
He picks up on things that
people normally wouldn't.
[20:02] DEMON OVERLORD
That is indeed Uchimura's talent.
[20:05] ULMANDRA AND UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord.
[20:06] DEMON OVERLORD
Well done, Uchimura.
[20:09] DEMON OVERLORD
I welcome you as a new member
of the Four Elite Generals.
[20:13] DEMON OVERLORD
No one will doubt your talents
after passing this exam.
[20:18] DEMON OVERLORD
Isn't that right, Ulmandra?
[20:21] ULMANDRA
Yes...
[20:22] DEMON OVERLORD
Uchimura, hold out your right arm.
[20:25] UCHIMURA
My right arm?
[20:28] DEMON OVERLORD
This is proof of your
position in the Big Four.
[20:31] DEMON OVERLORD
Accept it.
[20:39] DEMON OVERLORD
There's no need to hold
back because you're new.
[20:42] DEMON OVERLORD
Work as you see fit, Uchimura.
[20:45] DEMON OVERLORD
Do what you think is best and
what you believe to be right!
[20:50] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord, sir!
[20:52] UCHIMURA
Yes, thank you very much!
[20:55] ULMANDRA
Hey, Uchimura...
[20:59] UCHIMURA
Um... What are you...
[21:01] ULMANDRA
You idiot! You raise your arm, too!
[21:07] ULMANDRA
I am Ulmandra, the Inferno Assailant.

This is how my clan welcomes new friends.
[21:20] ULMANDRA
Be sure to remember it.
[21:21] UCHIMURA {M}
Ms. Ulmandra...
[21:22] ULMANDRA
Hmph! Don't get the wrong idea!
[21:25] ULMANDRA
I haven't fully acknowledged you yet!
[21:27] UCHIMURA
Understood.
[21:31] ULMANDRA
You're worth utilizing!
[21:33] ULMANDRA
We'll have you assist in other
negotiations as well, Uchimura!
[21:37] UCHIMURA
Understood! Let's go, Ms. Ulmandra!
[21:40] DEMON OVERLORD {M}
If we help each other, we'll
complement each other.
[21:43] DEMON OVERLORD {M}
An organization that can do that is strong.
[21:45] DEMON OVERLORD {M}
However, our current situation is...
[21:48] DEMON OVERLORD {M}
Our army is still immature and incomplete.
[21:52] DEMON OVERLORD {M}
Uchimura is our light.

eventually, make the entire army shine!

[00:01] UCHIMURA {M}
To think... I would
transfer to another world...
[00:06] UCHIMURA {M}
And more so, as one of the
Big Four of the Demon Army!
[00:10] UCHIMURA {M}
So this is the organizational chart...
[00:12] UCHIMURA {M}
Even though it's a small country, the
chain of command is organized well.
[00:17] UCHIMURA {M}
I never thought I'd get my own office.
[00:21] UCHIMURA {M}
I'm filled with anxiety, but...
[00:23] UCHIMURA {M}
This is for the Demon Overlord, who
acknowledged me, a half-assed salaryman.
[00:27] UCHIMURA {M}
I have no choice but to push forward!
[02:09] UCHIMURA {M}
Now that I've decided to take this job,
[02:12] UCHIMURA {M}
there is certain business
etiquette I must uphold.
[02:14] UCHIMURA {M}
I must properly greet
the other elite generals
[02:18] UCHIMURA {M}
who I haven't had a chance
to speak with yet!
[02:22] UCHIMURA
Ms. Sylphid, are you there?
[02:28] BELINDA
Yes...
[02:29] BELINDA
Um, who might you be?
[02:31] UCHIMURA
U-Um... I am Uchimura. I've recently
been inducted as one of the Big Four.
[02:36] UCHIMURA
I came to greet Sylphid,
Archmage of Storms—
[02:38] BELINDA
My apologies.
[02:40] BELINDA
Mistress Sylphid has been absent
for quite some time now.
[02:43] UCHIMURA
What? She's not here?
[02:45] BELINDA
Yes. I am Belinda, her assistant.
[02:48] BELINDA
I shall inform her of your visit, so
please take your leave for today.
[02:55] UCHIMURA
Oh... Well...
[02:56] UCHIMURA
Business always comes with a loss and a win!
[03:00] UCHIMURA
No getting discouraged,
let's move onto the next!
[03:02] ULMANDRA
Uchimura!
[03:03] ULMANDRA
So this is where you were!
[03:05] ULMANDRA
The overlord is summoning you!
[03:06] UCHIMURA
Oh! The Demon Overlord wants to see me?
[03:08] ULMANDRA
It's a new work order.
[03:11] UCHIMURA
I'll see him right away.
[03:13] UCHIMURA
A merger negotiation with
the Ogre Tribe, huh.
[03:16] DEMON OVERLORD
That's correct.
SIGN Capital

[03:17] DEMON OVERLORD
Our Demon Army is an emerging force.
[03:20] DEMON OVERLORD
For our army to stand equal
to those greater powers,
[03:23] DEMON OVERLORD
we need to cooperate with the
demi-human tribes that surround the region
[03:26] DEMON OVERLORD
to become even stronger.
[03:28] DEMON OVERLORD
And amongst these demi-humans, the Ogre
Tribe is particularly influential.
SIGN Ogre
[03:34] DEMON OVERLORD
The Ogre Tribe has a military force
that is as powerful as ours,
[03:37] DEMON OVERLORD
and it acts as a leader
to the surrounding races.
[03:41] DEMON OVERLORD
However, because of this,
they are wary of our forces,
[03:44] DEMON OVERLORD
and have imposed information
control in recent years.
[03:47] DEMON OVERLORD
An alliance would be beneficial,
[03:49] DEMON OVERLORD
but they could prove troublesome enemies.
[03:51] DEMON OVERLORD
This is what you would call in your world
a merger negotiation with a competitor.
[03:56] DEMON OVERLORD
There was no suitable
being to take on this task
[03:59] DEMON OVERLORD
due to the scale and
difficulty of the matter.
[04:02] DEMON OVERLORD
I have seen you and am convinced!
[04:04] DEMON OVERLORD
Uchimura, you are capable of this task!
[04:08] DEMON OVERLORD
I leave this role to you.
Negotiate with the Ogre Tribe!
[04:11] DEMON OVERLORD
Demonstrate your ability to its fullest!
[04:14] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord, sir...
[04:15] ULMANDRA
I have no choice. I'll escort
you this time as well.
[04:19] UCHIMURA
Thank you very much!
[04:21] ULMANDRA
W-Well, I'm worried if I'm not with you.
[04:27] ULMANDRA
Uchimura, as members of the Big Four,
let us work together once more!
[04:32] UCHIMURA
Yes. Oh, speaking of working together,
[04:35] UCHIMURA
let's go meet Ms. Gnome,
the Earthen Bastion.
[04:38] ULMANDRA
You're right. Hm?
[04:40] UCHIMURA
Looking at the organizational chart,
[04:42] UCHIMURA
Ms. Gnome leads the demi-human forces.
[04:45] UCHIMURA
The Ogre Tribe is also demi-human, so
maybe we could gather some information.
[04:49] ULMANDRA
I'm not going!
[04:50] ULMANDRA
I need to check on the carriage anyway.
[04:52] UCHIMURA
Oh, you're right. It's faster if
we divide and conquer the tasks.
[04:56] UCHIMURA
Well then, we'll split
here until we head out.
[04:58] UCHIMURA
I'll leave those tasks to you.
[05:02] ULMANDRA
Be quick about it, all right?
[05:10] UCHIMURA
This is...
[05:11] WOLVES
Enough!
[05:13] GNOME
Your accuracy with the bow has improved.
[05:15] ARCHER DEMI-HUMANS
Yes, ma'am!
[05:16] GNOME
Your spear attacks are much
quicker than before, as well.
[05:20] SPEAR DEMI-HUMANS
Yes, ma'am!
[05:20] GNOME
Everyone is doing well.
[05:23] GNOME
Allow them to rest well.
[05:25] WOLVES
Yes, ma'am...
[05:26] UCHIMURA {M}
Her subordinates' morale is high.
[05:27] UCHIMURA {M}
To think she can command such
a large number of soldiers...
[05:30] GNOME
And, what is it that you want with
me, Overseas Manager Uchimura?
[05:35] UCHIMURA
Oh... Uh... Along with
introducing myself,
[05:38] UCHIMURA
I wanted to ask about the Ogre Tribe.
[05:40] GNOME
Oh, does that mean the next group we're
negotiating with is the Ogre Tribe?
[05:44] UCHIMURA
Yes.
[05:46] GNOME
Hm, let's see...
[05:48] GNOME
Ogure, the chief of the tribe,
is a difficult opponent.
[05:50] UCHIMURA
Difficult opponent?
[05:52] GNOME
Because of his bravery and boldness,
[05:54] GNOME
he is regarded by his
opponents as a dictator.
[05:57] UCHIMURA
Oh, I see...
[05:58] GNOME
Well, the rest you should see for yourself.
[06:00] GNOME
Besides that, quickly get that
thing out of my sight, will you?
[06:03] GNOME
My subordinates feel restless
when there is a demon
[06:06] GNOME
looking murderous for no reason.
[06:09] UCHIMURA
Huh? Ah, Ms. Ulmandra?!
What are you doing here?!
[06:12] ULMANDRA
We're ready to go. I came
here because I was worri—
[06:15] ULMANDRA
I mean, I'm here to get you because
your ass was late coming back.
[06:16] UCHIMURA
What? I'm sorry!
[06:18] GNOME
Uchimura, please quickly
depart with that thing.
[06:21] ULMANDRA
You said it earlier, too. What
do you mean by "thing," huh?!
[06:24] ULMANDRA
Hey, are you listening to me?!
[06:25] ULMANDRA
Raise your ears!
[06:27] ULMANDRA

The Art of Negotiation in Captivating a Stubborn Tribal Chief
[06:40] ULMANDRA
This is taking forever! How long do
you intend to make us wait?!
[06:43] GATEKEEPER 1
Until the chief gives us permission.
[06:45] GATEKEEPER 2
We can't let anyone through till then,
not even the Big Four or whoever.
[06:49] UCHIMURA {M}
Just like my previous job.
[06:51] UCHIMURA {M}
Negotiating with a competitor
has always been difficult.
[06:54] UCHIMURA {M}
The negotiation game has already begun
before even getting to the table.
[06:58] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra, throwing off the other party
[07:01] UCHIMURA
by making them wait is a common tactic.
[07:03] UCHIMURA
It's best to stay calm, and—
[07:04] ULMANDRA
They're certainly making
a mockery out of us.
[07:06] UCHIMURA {M}
Wha?!
[07:07] OLULU
Lord Uchimura, Lord Ulmandra,
thank you for waiting.
[07:13] OLULU
Please, right this way.
[07:16] ULMANDRA
Finally. Let's go, Uchimura.
[07:29] ULMANDRA
Stop looking around!
[07:30] UCHIMURA
Oh, right...
[07:32] ULMANDRA
Don't let your guard down.
[07:33] ULMANDRA
The ogres are an exceptional race.
[07:35] ULMANDRA
Their strength is comparable to
that of our Demon Army.
[07:38] ULMANDRA
And you understand our biggest
problem, don't you?
[07:41] UCHIMURA
Yes...
[07:42] UCHIMURA {M}
Ms. Gnome said it herself that
the Chief of the Ogre Tribe,
[07:44] UCHIMURA {M}
Ogure, is a difficult opponent.
[07:47] OLULU
Please head inside.
[07:53] UCHIMURA {M}
Just what kind of being is he?
[08:08] ULMANDRA
Lord Ogure, I have come today with an
important matter from the Demon Overlord—
[08:11] OGURE
Quit your yapping!
[08:13] OGURE
You wenches, always yapping
without permission.
[08:17] OGURE
As long as I live, I won't allow you to
speak, respond, move, or do anything!
[08:26] UCHIMURA {M}
The short-tempered Ms. Ulmandra
is holding herself back...
[08:29] OGURE
I know what you're trying to do...
[08:33] OGURE
You want to surrender
to our army, don't you?
[08:36] ULMANDRA
What?!
[08:37] OGURE
Very well, I'll make
an exception and allow it,
[08:41] OGURE
but it comes with a condition.
[08:44] OGURE
Bring me the head of your
chief, the Demon Overlord.
[08:49] OGURE
How's that?
[08:50] OGURE
Reasonable terms, don't you agree?
[08:52] ULMANDRA
How dare you spout such mockery.
[08:55] OGURE
You gonna do it or not?
[08:57] OGURE
Answer me now.
[08:59] ULMANDRA{M}
How can I answer that right away?
[09:03] UCHIMURA
If that's the case, please
allow us to think on it.
[09:07] UCHIMURA
Thank you very much for taking the
time out of your busy schedule
[09:10] UCHIMURA
to speak with us today.
[09:11] ULMANDRA
What...
[09:12] UCHIMURA
Let's go.
[09:19] ULMANDRA
Argh! Unforgivable!
[09:21] ULMANDRA
That old geezer, insulting our lord!
[09:24] ULMANDRA
I'll never forgive him!
[09:26] ULMANDRA
I'll tear him to pieces
and feed him to the dogs!
[09:27] UCHIMURA
Please calm down!
[09:28] UCHIMURA
You're playing right into his hands.
[09:30] ULMANDRA
I don't care whether it's his hand or face!
[09:32] UCHIMURA
That's what I'm talking about!
[09:32] ULMANDRA
I'll tear him to pieces!
[09:34] UCHIMURA
His aim is to make us angry and
break down the negotiations!
[09:37] ULMANDRA
What...?
[09:38] UCHIMURA
The ogre chief has no
intention of negotiating.
[09:41] UCHIMURA
However, as a clan leader, he wants
to avoid unnecessary conflict.
[09:44] UCHIMURA
That's why he's purposely
saying things to rattle us.
[09:46] UCHIMURA
That way, it's the negotiator's
fault if the deal falls through.
[09:51] OGURE
Negotiations fell through because
of the scum you sent over!
[09:56] ULMANDRA
So twisted... Aren't you frustrated?!
[09:59] ULMANDRA
Our army was just insulted!
[10:01] UCHIMURA
Of course I am.
[10:04] UCHIMURA
However, expressing our rage on the spot
would put our lord at a disadvantage.
[10:08] UCHIMURA
Worst case scenario, they could use that
as an excuse to ally with other nations
[10:12] UCHIMURA
and potentially attack the Demon Army.
[10:14] UCHIMURA
If there's no room for negotiations,
one must withdraw for now.
[10:16] UCHIMURA
Forcing it will only
put a damper on the relationship.
[10:19] ULMANDRA
I see... I'm sorry.
[10:21] UCHIMURA
Please don't apologize.
[10:23] UCHIMURA
If you weren't there, Ms. Ulmandra,
I probably would have been the one to rage.
[10:28] ULMANDRA
Uchimura...
[10:30] ULMANDRA
Still, what should we do?
[10:32] ULMANDRA
He has no intention of negotiating, right?
[10:34] UCHIMURA
Indeed, that's the issue...
[10:36] OLULU
Um...
[10:38] UCHIMURA
You're the girl from earlier...
[10:40] OLULU
Please forgive my sudden rudeness.
[10:42] OLULU
I am Olulu, Ogure's daughter.
[10:45] UCHIMURA{M}
His daughter?
[10:47] ULMANDRA
What does you want?
Are you here to get rid of us?
[10:50] UCHIMURA
Now, now...
[10:51] UCHIMURA
And, how can we help you?
[10:54] OLULU
I want you to drag my father...
Ogure down from his throne.
[10:59] UCHIMURA; ULMANDRA
What?!
[11:00] UCHIMURA
Drag him down from his throne?
[11:07] ULMANDRA
Where are we?
[11:09] OLULU
This is the castle's food cellar.
[11:11] OLULU
In the past, the Ogre Tribe had great
influence on the surrounding tribes.
[11:15] OLULU
However, now we've run
into financial problems,
[11:18] OLULU
and some are even struggling
to find food to eat.
[11:21] UCHIMURA
I can imagine.
[11:22] ULMANDRA
What, you knew?!
[11:24] UCHIMURA
Well, somewhat...
[11:26] UCHIMURA
The soldier's equipment seemed dilapidated,
and the castle is dim and lifeless.
[11:31] UCHIMURA
It's a common sight amongst large
companies in decline.
[11:34] UCHIMURA
The top-down management style done
by one person moves quickly
[11:37] UCHIMURA
because the chain of command is simple.
[11:40] UCHIMURA
But once it breaks down, it's hard to
efficiently adapt and course correct.
[11:46] UCHIMURA
Isn't that what's happening here?
[11:49] OLULU
Yes.
[11:50] OLULU
The only way to rebuild this failing tribe
is to rely on the Demon Army.
[11:56] OLULU
But my father will not listen...
[11:59] OLULU
Besides that... The chief...
My father is ill.
[12:02] UCHIMURA; ULMANDRA
What?!
[12:04] OLULU
That is why we've carefully controlled
information about the chief,
[12:06] OLULU
and why we made you wait
before meeting him.
[12:09] OLULU
He's putting up a strong front,
but he's no longer in his prime.
[12:15] OLULU
In the future, if my father were to
pass on, it would be a big mess!
[12:19] OLULU
Something must be done!
[12:21] UCHIMURA
I understand your concerns.
[12:23] UCHIMURA
However, your actions are imprudent.
[12:26] OLULU
What?!
[12:26] UCHIMURA
A member of an organization
shouldn't easily talk about internal affairs.
[12:31] UCHIMURA
Let alone mention your
boss's medical conditions.
[12:34] UCHIMURA
Silence is a virtue.
[12:36] UCHIMURA
If you're the chief's daughter,
you should be more cautious.
[12:39] OLULU
Then you must be a real softie to go
out of your way to tell me my mistakes.
[12:45] ULMANDRA
Seriously.
[12:46] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra?!
[12:47] OLULU
I'm rather confident in
my ability to read people.
[12:51] OLULU
That is why I told you,
Mr. Dennosuke Uchimura.
[12:56] OLULU
Please, Mr. Uchimura...
[12:58] OLULU
Will you...
[13:01] UCHIMURA
What?!
[13:01] OLULU
Please marry me and become
the new chief of our tribe?!
[13:06] UCHIMURA
Wha...?
[13:08] UCHIMURA
What?!
[13:10] OLULU
We need someone like you to save our tribe!
[13:13] UCHIMURA
Please wait! This is all so sudden.
[13:16] OLULU
Everyone in the clan is hard-headed
and influenced by my father.
[13:19] OLULU
That is why if you become the chief,
the Ogre Tribe will be saved!
[13:20] UCHIMURA
Uh... um, but...
[13:22] OLULU
Is there a better way?
[13:24] UCHIMURA
W-Well...
[13:28] OLULU
Marriage is the only way!
[13:30] OLULU
Let's get married immediately!
[13:32] UCHIMURA
Ms. Olulu?!
[13:41] ULMANDRA
Please allow us to think on it.
[13:50] UCHIMURA
What is even happening...
[13:52] UCHIMURA
The clan chief has no
intention of negotiating.
[13:54] UCHIMURA
His daughter, Ms. Olulu, is jumping the gun.

Mission two in another world:
annexation of the Ogre Tribe.

Hm? What do you mean?
[15:48] UCHIMURA
I'll tell you the details along the way.

[16:06] OGURE
Drop the act, you brats!
[16:09] OGURE
Why did the other races join
the Demon Army?!
[16:17] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
What? You're going to recruit
the other races first?
[16:20] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Yes. Just as I thought, they
were in trouble as well.
[16:23] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
In the past, they were aided by
the Ogre Tribe, but not anymore.
[16:28] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
It's difficult to do so now, huh?
[16:30] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
And so, we'll begin by annexing
the Ogre Tribe's neighboring territory.

I call it, "Operation Strong
Hold of Large Corporations."

[16:38] (Flashback) ULMANDRA

[16:42] ULMANDRA{M}
That's what I thought,
but I wasn't expecting him

to actually call us out for this matter.

stating that they couldn't allow the

[17:10] UCHIMURA{M}
If the surrounding demi-humans join

[17:13] UCHIMURA{M}
that prideful chief wouldn't
just let that slide.
[17:15] UCHIMURA{M}
The first step is a success.
[17:18] UCHIMURA{M}
And, now.
[17:19] UCHIMURA
Lord Ogure, they were struggling
to make ends meet.
[17:22] UCHIMURA
Joining the Demon Army guarantees
a minimum standard of living.
[17:25] OGURE
That's not what I'm asking!
[17:27] OGURE
This area is ruled by the Ogre Tribe!

[17:37] UCHIMURA
My apologies.
[17:38] UCHIMURA
However, this annexation was
not only carried out by us,
[17:41] UCHIMURA
but also by the Ogre Tribe.
[17:43] OGURE
That's impossible! I did no such thing!
[17:47] ULMANDRA
We didn't say you did.
[17:50] UCHIMURA
Please come in.
[17:55] OGURE
Wha... Did you...
[17:59] UCHIMURA
Lady Olulu took it upon herself
[18:01] UCHIMURA
to arrange negotiations
with the surrounding tribes.
[18:05] UCHIMURA
As your daughter, she had
the title and connections,
[18:08] UCHIMURA
which made the negotiations run smoothly.
[18:11] OGURE {M}
Why would Olulu do such a thing?
[18:14] OLULU
Father!
[18:15] OLULU
Our top priority should be the lives
and future of the demi-humans!
[18:20] OLULU
The only way out of this predicament is
to rely on the Demon Army's aid!
[18:24] OGURE
D-Don't be foolish!
[18:25] OGURE
There is no way I'll accept—

Times have changed!
[18:31] OLULU
Father...
[18:32] OLULU
You are stronger than anyone...
[18:35] OLULU
and someone who I've looked up to.
[18:50] OLULU
However! The father who was once
called the Invincible Ogure
[18:53] OLULU
is now old and ill!
[18:56] OLULU
It is time that we joined hands!
[18:58] OLULU
Father!
[18:59] UCHIMURA
Then how about we form an alliance?
[19:02] UCHIMURA
Not an annexation, but an alliance.
[19:04] UCHIMURA
An equal partnership.
[19:06] OGURE
An alliance, you say...
[19:08] UCHIMURA{M}
By the way, being annexed by the Demon Army
[19:10] UCHIMURA{M}
isn't that different from becoming an ally
[19:13] UCHIMURA{M}
since the overlord allows autonomy
to the other party.
[19:16] UCHIMURA{M}
But the wording makes all the difference
to a proud chief like him.
[19:21] OGURE
It's something to consider.
I'll think about it.
[19:24] OGURE
I'll give you my answer
later, so wait a bit.
[19:27] UCHIMURA
Understood! Thank you very much, Lord Ogure!
[19:31] ULMANDRA
Oh, the "allow us to think
on it" play, huh...
[19:34] ULMANDRA
Are you sure about this, Uchimura?
[19:36] UCHIMURA
Yes.
[19:36] UCHIMURA{M}
The answer is already there.
[19:38] UCHIMURA{M}
He just needs the time
to make the decision.
[19:45] OLULU
Father, thank you so much.

me to make an agreement!
[20:08] UCHIMURA
I'm glad to hear that. Hmm...
[20:11] ULMANDRA
What's going on?
[20:12] UCHIMURA
The Demon Overlord has told me
to appoint a direct underling...
[20:15] UCHIMURA
But I have no idea who to choose.
[20:17] UCHIMURA
To be honest, a human like me
isn't going to know who's good looking
[20:21] UCHIMURA
at demi-human and demon resumes.
[20:22] ULMANDRA
If that's the case, use your intuition!
[20:24] ULMANDRA
Just randomly pick someone!
[20:25] UCHIMURA
I can't just do that...
[20:26] ULMANDRA
W-What?
[20:28] UCHIMURA
I was just thinking if only I could
have chosen you, Ms. Ulmandra.
[20:32] ULMANDRA
What?! D-Does that mean you
want to be partners with me?!
[20:36] ULMANDRA
But we've only just met.
Isn't it a bit too soon?
[20:38] UCHIMURA
Well, I've known you the longest, Ms. Ulmandra,
[20:39] ULMANDRA {Background}
Well, now, if you really
want to be with me,
[20:41] UCHIMURA
and it'd be reassuring for it
to be someone I already know.
[20:43] ULMANDRA {Background}
then I guess I've no choice but to accept.
[20:43] UCHIMURA
Coming!
[20:44] ULMANDRA {Background}
As your partner...
[20:46] UCHIMURA
I wonder who it is?
[20:48] OLULU
Long time no see!
[20:50] UCHIMURA
Ms. Olulu?! What's up?
[20:52] OLULU
I was sent here as a representative
from the Ogre Tribe
[20:55] OLULU
for our alliance with the Demon Army.
[20:57] UCHIMURA
I see. A personnel exchange.
[20:59] OLULU
Mr. Uchimura.
[21:02] OLULU
Thank you so much!
[21:03] OLULU
Since then, my father has
begun to delegate work
[21:06] OLULU
to the most capable members of the clan.
[21:08] UCHIMURA
Oh, he's started working on
developing a successor, huh?
[21:11] OLULU
Yes! Thanks to you, the entire Ogre Tribe
seems to be able to make the change.
[21:15] OLULU
If there's anything I can
do for you, please tell me!
[21:18] UCHIMURA{M}
Anything, you say?
[21:20] UCHIMURA
If you don't mind, would you be
interested in working with me?
[21:25] OLULU
Oh, are you sure you want someone like me?
[21:28] UCHIMURA
Of course. I'd gladly
welcome you, Ms. Olulu.
[21:30] OLULU
Just call me Olulu.
[21:32] UCHIMURA
Then, pleased to have you on board, Olulu.
[21:35] OLULU
Yes.
[21:38] UCHIMURA
Again, pleased to be working
with you, too, Ms. Ulmandra!
[21:41] ULMANDRA
No, I'm your rival.
[21:43] ULMANDRA
I've no intention of getting
buddy-buddy with you.
[21:45] UCHIMURA
Why?!
[21:46] UCHIMURA{M}
Anyway, the Demon Army
has expanded quite a bit
[21:49] UCHIMURA{M}
because of this negotiation.
[21:51] UCHIMURA{M}
Still... With every big return, there's
always a risk that comes with it.

It goes so smoothly when you rank both

[00:20] OLULU
I was surprised.

water until it's super thin.
[01:14] UCHIMURA/ID
Gim is the name of the crop cultivated
in the farms outside the city.
[01:19] UCHIMURA/ID
Because Olulu, who has knowledge of
governing and diplomacy, came to work for me,
[01:23] UCHIMURA/ID
I have extra energy to
learn about the world.

[03:26] UCHIMURA
A magical beast?!
[03:27] ULMANDRA
About five orcs who live
in this area were eaten.
[03:32] UCHIMURA
Th-That sounds really serious!
[03:35] ULMANDRA
The weak are eaten. That's
the law of nature.
[03:40] ULMANDRA
Normally, the orcs would have
to defeat it themselves,
[03:43] ULMANDRA
but we're going to help because
the beast is too strong.
[03:47] UCHIMURA/ID
The gim porridge is so thin because
they don't have much food.

It'd be different if this were a

We sought that in weapons.
[05:38] UCHIMURA/ID
Ms. Ulmandra must realize that as well.

So why didn't she bring a weapon?
[05:43] ULMANDRA

gamey for our kids to eat.
[08:56] UCHIMURA
Boar meat is gamey, so it's important to
soak it in water and wash away the blood.
[08:59] ORC VILLAGER A
I can't believe how much
of the gaminess is gone.
[09:02] UCHIMURA
It has a lot of fat as well, so I cooked
it slowly and away from the flame
[09:06] UCHIMURA
to avoid burning and remove the excess fat.
[09:08] UCHIMURA
When putting meat in soup, you can reduce
gaminess by keeping cooking times short.
[09:13] ORC VILLAGERS
Huh.
[09:15] UCHIMURA
Would you like me to teach
you in greater detail?
[09:17] ORC VILLAGER A
You would do that?
[09:19] ORC VILLAGER B
You're so friendly.
[09:21] ULMANDRA
Good grief.
[09:21] ORC VILLAGER A
That was useful information.
[09:22] ULMANDRA
Don't you think teaching people to cook is
selling yourself short as an elite general?
[09:23] ORC VILLAGER B
Right?
[09:25] UCHIMURA
I don't think so.
[09:27] UCHIMURA
After all, they say you can
judge how rich or poor a nation is
[09:31] UCHIMURA
by looking at its eating habits.
[09:32] ULMANDRA
Huh?
[09:33] UCHIMURA
The cooking method I used would occur to
anyone who eats meat on a daily basis.
[09:38] UCHIMURA
If you have enough resources for trial and
error, you naturally build knowledge.
[09:44] ULMANDRA
In other words, you're saying this nation
lacks knowledge because we're poor.
[09:48] UCHIMURA
In simple terms, yes.
[09:51] ULMANDRA
I hate to admit it, but you're right.
[09:54] ULMANDRA
This nation is poor.
[09:56] ULMANDRA
Compared to the surrounding
powers, we are small and weak.
[09:59] ULMANDRA
The people don't have enough to eat.
[10:01] ULMANDRA
However!
[10:02] ULMANDRA
That is why we must change it!
[10:05] ULMADNRA
That is the role of the
elite generals! Am I wrong?
[10:08] UCHIMURA
You're exactly right!
[10:10] ULMANDRA
Honestly, I can't believe you made me
think about all that with a single meal.
[10:14] ULMANDRA
You're a cunning man.
[10:16] ULMANDRA
Now that that's decided,
let's get out of here.
[10:19] UCHIMURA
What? We're traveling at night?
[10:22] ULMANDRA
This will keep the road
bright even at night.
[10:24] ULMANDRA
Magical beasts fear the
light and won't attack.
[10:28] UCHIMURA
Is that magic, too?
[10:29] ULMANDRA
Yes.
[10:31] ULMANDRA
Inaccessible to demi-humans and usable only
by demons, it is the knowledge of all things.
[10:37] ULMANDRA
That is magic.
[10:38] UCHIMURA/ID
I see.
[10:41] UCHIMURA
The demi-humans led by Ms. Gnome train
every day because they can't use magic.
[10:48] UCHIMURA
By the way, is Ms. Sylphid
a demon or a demi-human?
[10:52] ULMANDRA
I don't know, but if she's known as the
Archmage of Storms, she must be a demon.
[10:56] ULMANDRA
She never attends Big Four
meetings in person.
[11:00] UCHIMURA/ID
She’s always the only one joining remotely?
[11:03] UCHIMURA
How bold of her.
[11:04] ULMANDRA
Anyway, that's not important. Let's go.
[11:07] UCHIMURA
Hey, wait! Ms. Ulmandra!
[11:12] UCHIMURA
Anyway, that's certainly impressive.
[11:14] UCHIMURA
But isn't it a little inconvenient?
[11:16] ULMANDRA
Huh?
[11:17] UCHIMURA
Even against the hellhog,
you struggled at first.
[11:21] UCHIMURA
It's because this isn't particularly fatal.
[11:24] UCHIMURA
You can change your body using magic,
[11:27] UCHIMURA
but the time it takes to return
to normal is a drawback.
[11:31] UCHIMURA
It would be more efficient to equip
yourself with weapons from the start.
[11:34] UCHIMURA
When cooking, if you'd used
an oven from the start,
[11:37] UCHIMURA
you wouldn't have burnt the food.
[11:38] UCHIMURA
Instead of fixating on magic, why
not utilize efficient substitutes?
[11:43] UCHIMURA
The same goes for your clothing.
[11:45] UCHIMURA
Instead of dressing so lightly, shouldn't
you wear something more protective?
[11:53] UCHIMURA
Huh? What?
[11:55] ULMANDRA
Uchimura.
[11:56] UCHIMURA
Yes?
[11:57] ULMANDRA
Perhaps you are right, but...
[12:01] ULMANDRA
Your words insult me.
[12:03] UCHIMURA
What?!
[12:04] ULMANDRA
Change of plans.
[12:06] ULMANDRA
You can stay here and return in
the morning with an orc escort.
[12:10] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra?
[12:11] ULMANDRA
I trusted you a little,
but I'm disappointed.
[12:15] ULMANDRA
You're merely a human from
another world after all.
[12:17] ULMANDRA
Your efficient thinking is
incompatible with us demons.
[12:22] UCHIMURA/ID
I screwed up.
[12:26] UCHIMURA/ID
What? How did I make her mad?
[12:29] UCHIMURA/ID
No, wait. For now, I should
go after her and apologize.
[12:36] UCHIMURA/ID
There's no way!
[12:37] UCHIMURA/ID
If I encounter monsters in the woods
at night, it'll be game over!
[12:40] UCHIMURA/ID
Wait, Ms. Ulmandra! Please wait!
[12:47] DEMON LORD
Well done defeating that magical beast.
[12:51] DEMON LORD
By the way, Ulmandra returned
during the night,
[12:56] DEMON LORD
while you returned this
morning with an orc escort.
[13:01] DEMON LORD
Did something happen?
[13:03] UCHIMURA
Demon Lord, I...
[13:07] UCHIMURA
I'm not fit to be an elite general!
[13:10] DEMON LORD
I see. I understand what happened.
[13:13] UCHIMURA
I'm terribly sorry, Your Majesty!
[13:15] UCHIMURA
An elite general who disrupts relationships
between colleagues is unfit to serve!
[13:18] UCHIMURA
I shall take responsibility
by leaving my post!

That's an order.
[13:30] UCHIMURA/ID

[13:32] UCHIMURA
I understand.
[13:34] DEMON LORD
Uchimura, this isn't just
an interpersonal issue.
[13:39] DEMON LORD

to learn about this world.
[13:43] MOB
What's wrong with that guy?
[13:45] MOB
Yikes.
[13:45] MOB
Look at him.
[13:46] UCHIMURA/ID
I don't understand.
[13:47] UCHIMURA/ID
What was Ms. Ulmandra so angry about?
[13:51] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
Your efficient thinking is
incompatible with us demons.
[13:55] UCHIMURA
Demons...
[13:57] UCHIMURA/ID
There are two species here.
Demons and demi-humans.
[14:01] UCHIMURA/ID
Before coming to this world,
I had the impression
[14:04] UCHIMURA/ID
that demons were intellectual and
demi-humans like orcs were wild, but...
[14:09] UCHIMURA
Those are demi-humans.
[14:11] UCHIMURA
Demon.
[14:13] UCHIMURA
Demi-human.
[14:14] UCHIMURA
Demons.
[14:16] UCHIMIRA/ID
In this world, it's the other way around.
[14:18] UCHIMIRA/ID
With Ms. Ulmandra first
and foremost among them,
[14:20] UCHIMIRA/ID
demons expose more skin
and are far more wild.
[14:22] UCHIMIRA/ID
But why?
[14:24] UCHIMIRA/ID
Attire reflects the era, culture,
and even religion and thinking.
[14:28] UCHIMIRA/ID
And what do demons think?
[14:30] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
Usable only by demons, it is
the knowledge of all things.
[14:34] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
That is magic.
[14:36] UCHIMIRA/ID
Are non-demons really incapable
of using magic no matter what?
[14:42] UCHIMIRA/ID
Abandon your assumptions.
[14:43] UCHIMIRA/ID
Are there any fact-based documents
on how magic works in this world?
[14:47] UCHIMURA
This is it.
[14:49] UCHIMIRA/ID
"For demons, a beautifully-trained
body is a source of pride."
[14:53] UCHIMIRA/ID
"This is because a strong body is required
to increase one's magic power and cast spells."
[14:58] UCHIMIRA/ID
So the stronger they get, the
more magic power they have.
[15:01] UCHIMIRA/ID
That's the truth of this world.
[15:04] UCHIMIRA/ID
That's why demons wear skimpy clothes.
[15:06] UCHIMIRA/ID
To show off their magic power and pride.
[15:10] UCHIMIRA/ID
In other words, I...
[15:12] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Instead of dressing so lightly, shouldn't
you wear something more protective?
[15:18] UCHIMIRA/ID
I rejected Ms. Ulmandra herself.
[15:22] UCHIMIRA/ID
Of course she got mad!
[15:23] UCHIMIRA/ID
That was a total misunderstanding of culture!
[15:25] UCHIMIRA/ID
Didn't I learn that from
negotiating with Mr. Tarius?
[15:27] (Flashback) TARIUS
No! No!
[15:29] UCHIMIRA/ID
Demon Lord, thank you.
[15:31] UCHIMIRA/ID
Because of you, I realized
the truth of this world.
[15:35] UCHIMIRA/ID
However...
[15:36] UCHIMURA
How will I reconcile with
Ms. Ulmandra? I don't know!
[15:44] OLULU
I'm done chopping wood.
[15:46] OLULU
What's next?
[15:47] OLULU
Huh?
[15:48] OLULU
What? Who? An evil god?
[15:51] OLULU
No, wait...
[15:54] OLULU
Ms. Ulmandra?
[15:55] ULMANDRA
Uchimura hates me! What am I going to do?
[15:59] OLULU
Huh? What happened?
[16:03] ULMANDRA
He didn't compliment me...
[16:05] OLULU
What do you mean?
[16:07] ULMANDRA
Uchimura didn't compliment my body!
[16:11] OLULU/ID
What is she talking about?
[16:14] OLULU
Um, Ms. Ulmandra...
[16:16] ULMANDRA
Uh huh?
[16:17] OLULU
I realized this from working for him,
[16:19] OLULU
but Mr. Uchimura's values
are different from ours.
[16:22] ULMANDRA
Huh?
[16:23] OLULU
I believe Mr. Uchimura doesn't think
exposing one's skin is a good thing.
[16:28] ULMANDRA
That's absurd! Then what does
he think that makes me?
[16:31] OLULU
A nympho...
[16:32] ULMANDRA
A nympho?
[16:33] ULMANDRA
Why? I keep those areas covered!
[16:36] OLULU
I don't know what demons consider shameful.
[16:41] ULMANDRA
Then all the ways I've tried
to show off so far...
[16:45] OLULU
They mostly worked against you.
[16:48] ULMANDRA
Have I been making a terrible mistake?!
[16:51] OLULU
Please stop! You'll break the floor!
[16:54] ULMANDRA
Olulu.
[16:56] ULMANDRA
What should I do?
[17:00] OLULU
Well, Mr. Uchimura told me something
the day I started working for him.
[17:06] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Olulu, since we'll be working together,
[17:09] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
I'd like you to conduct yourself
freely and not fear mistakes.
[17:12] (Flashback) OLULU
Freely?
[17:14] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
You have a tendency to worry too much.
[17:17] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
So conduct yourself freely, and
talk to me about anything.
[17:20] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
If you need anything, I'll support you.
[17:22] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
We'll come up with solutions together.
[17:24] OLULU
That's the kind of person Mr. Uchimura is.
[17:26] OLULU
So it's all right. You can trust him.

[19:25] UCHIMURA

[20:09] ULMANDRA
I even became emotional and
abandoned you in the woods.

was in danger then...
[20:16] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra.
[20:18] UCHIMURA

Don't you think we could

I love you, Demon Overlord!
[00:43] UCHIMURA
I-In that case, what can I do for you?
[00:46] DEMON OVERLORD
Right.
[00:47] DEMON OVERLORD
Uchimura, what do you think of the
relationship between demons and demi-humans?
[00:52] UCHIMURA
Huh? Well...
[00:54] UCHIMURA
What stands out to me most is
the disparity between them.
[00:58] UCHIMURA
Demons have an advantage
as they can use magic.
[01:01] UCHIMURA
It seems to make demi-humans feel inferior.
[01:04] DEMON OVERLORD
Exactly. The problem is magic.
[01:07] DEMON OVERLORD
Only certain species can use it.
[01:11] DEMON OVERLORD
So I'd like you to come up with
a way for anyone to use magic.
[01:16] UCHIMURA
Anyone?
[01:18] DEMON OVERLORD
Indeed. Then demi-humans would
have no reason to feel inferior.
[01:23] UCHIMURA
You're absolutely right,
but I can't use magic.
[01:28] UCHIMURA
This is beyond my expertise.
[01:29] DEMON OVERLORD
That's what magic stones are for.
[01:32] UCHIMURA
Magic stones? Like the one I received
as a reward the other day?
[01:41] DEMON OVERLORD
This one is unshaped. I give this to you.
[01:45] DEMON OVERLORD
It's up to you to decide how to use it.
[01:49] UCHIMURA
Yes, sir.
[01:50] DEMON OVERLORD
One more thing.
[01:51] DEMON OVERLORD
I'll assign a magic researcher to you.
[01:55] UCHIMURA
I appreciate it. Who is it?
[01:57] DEMON OVERLORD
Sylphid, Archmage of Storms.
[02:01] UCHIMURA/ID
That incomprehensible person, huh?
[02:04] DEMON OVERLORD
I've already spoken with her,
but do not take it easy.
[02:08] DEMON OVERLORD
Sylphid is formidable.
[02:12] UCHIMURA
Yes, sir.
[03:46] UCHIMURA
Excuse me.
[03:50] ULMANDRA
So Uchimura received a direct
assignment from the Demon Overlord?
[03:54] ULMANDRA
He's doing well for himself.
[03:57] ULMANDRA

[04:34] UCHIMURA
Could this allow demi-humans to
use magic power like demons?

Well, I suppose.
[04:42] OLULU
But in practice, using magic takes skill.
[04:45] OLULU
Simply having power isn't
that useful on its own.

were scheduled to meet today.
[05:35] SYLPHID
As I said, she's not here. I'd
like to ask you to leave.
[05:41] UCHIMURA
I see. Well, that can't be helped.
[05:44] SYLPHID
I'll let you know once she returns.
[05:49] UCHIMURA
In that case, could I talk
to you, her assistant?
[05:58] ULMANDRA/ID
Uchimura is hitting on another woman?
[06:04] ULMANDRA/ID
And they're alone together in that room?
[06:07] SYLPHID
I'm just hearing you out, Mr. Uchimura.
[06:10] SYLPHID
I'm busy with other matters.
[06:12] UCHIMURA
Sorry. There's just one thing
I'd like to confirm with you.
[06:16] UCHIMURA
Ms. Belinda...
[06:17] UCHIMURA
You're actually Ms. Sylphid, aren't you?
[06:23] SYLPHID
I told you, I'm her assistant.
[06:24] UCHIMURA
There are three reasons
for me thinking this.
[06:27] UCHIMURA
First, your glasses.
[06:29] UCHIMURA
Demons regard the physical
body above all else.
[06:31] UCHIMURA
It doesn't make sense for one to
rely on something like glasses.
[06:33] UCHIMURA
In other words, those are fake
glasses and part of a disguise.
[06:36] UCHIMURA
Second, your name.
[06:39] UCHIMURA
The name Belinda isn't on the Demon
Army's organizational chart.
[06:44] UCHIMURA
And finally, the third reason...
[06:47] UCHIMURA
The Demon Overlord told me, "Sylphid likes
to avoid work by wearing disguises."
[06:52] SYLPHID
So you knew and thought to trick
me? That's not very nice.
[06:56] UCHIMURA
He didn't tell me you pretend
to be your own assistant.
[07:00] SYLPHID
I admit it. I am Sylphid, one of the Four
Elite Generals in the Demon Army.
[07:04] UCHIMURA
Why hide your identity?
[07:07] UCHIMURA
Normally, you wear something that
looks like a mascot costume.
[07:10] SYLPHID
Isn't it obvious?
[07:12] SYLPHID
If people knew what I looked like,
they'd dump loads of work on me.
[07:16] UCHIMURA
Forgive me for discussing
work after hearing that,
[07:21] UCHIMURA
but I'd like you to develop
a tool that allows—
[07:22] SYLPHID
No.
[07:23] UCHIMURA
What? Didn't the Demon Overlord talk to you?
[07:26] SYLPHID
I don't care.
[07:28] SYLPHID
Besides, why would I remake something
that's already been made?
[07:33] UCHIMURA
Already been made?
[07:36] SYLPHID
Sit.
[07:38] SYLPHID
This is your reward for seeing
through my disguise.
[07:40] SYLPHID
I'll show you something special.
[07:44] UCHIMURA
What is this?
[07:45] SYLPHID
It's made primarily using an ore easily
penetrated by magic power
[07:48] SYLPHID
and embedded with magic stones.
[07:50] SYLPHID
Magic is woven into a
multi-layered interior structure,
[07:53] SYLPHID
which grants the use of numerous spells.
[07:56] UCHIMURA
What? Then...
[07:58] SYLPHID
Didn't I tell you? It's already been made.
[08:02] SYLPHID
I created this magic device
after years of research.
[08:05] UCHIMURA
That's incredible! We should begin
mass-producing these right away.
[08:09] SYLPHID
You're right. Go ahead and do that.
[08:12] SYLHPID
But it costs 10 million
G to make a single one.
[08:14] UCHIMURA
What?
[08:15] UCHIMURA
Let's see. One nut is worth 50G, so...
[08:19] SYLPHID
Magic stones are rare enough already,
[08:21] SYLPHID
but this makes use of copious amounts
of only the highest-grade stones.
[08:24] SYLPHID
How much did you expect it to cost?
[08:26] SYLPHID
Now go mass-produce them all you want,
[08:29] SYLPHID
if you can find the budget for it, that is.
[08:32] UCHIMURA/ID
I see. So this was the Demon
Overlord's plan all along.
[08:36] UCHIMURA/ID
How do we mass produce a magic item
with massive production costs?
[08:41] SYLPHID
Just so you know, I'm not giving you any
money even if you stand on your head.
[08:45] SYLPHID
It would be wise to give up quickly,
[08:48] SYLPHID
Overseas Manager.
[08:50] UCHIMURA/ID
Stand on my head... Upside down...
[08:53] UCHIMURA/ID
Reverse thinking...
[08:55] UCHIMURA
Ms. Sylphid, that magic item
requires so many magic stones
[09:00] UCHIMURA
so it can grant use of
numerous spells, right?
[09:04] SYLPHID
Yes, I suppose.
[09:05] UCHIMURA
Then why not make items that grant
the use of only one spell?
SIGN Search
[09:11] UCHIMURA
It's one way to achieve a breakthrough.
[09:14] UCHIMURA
New products can be created by removing
functions instead of adding them.
[09:20] SYLPHID
I see. Low-grade magic stones could
be used for just a single spell.
[09:25] SYLPHID
That would reduce costs significantly.
[09:28] SYLPHID/ID
I've never seen anyone
think that way before.
[09:31] UCHIMURA
Could we use this for our prototype?
[09:34] SYLPHID
Interesting.
[09:35] SYLPHID
Let's try it.
[09:43] SYLPHID
Now then.
[09:44] SYLPHID
I'm going to stay up all night
making a new magical device.
[09:48] SYLPHID
You'll be joining me, Overseas Manager.
[09:51] UCHIMURA
What?!
[10:01] ULMANDRA
That's odd. He's still in there.
[10:03] ULMANDRA
But it's the middle of the night.
[10:06] ULMANDRA
What are a man and a woman
doing behind closed doors?!
[10:09] ULMANDRA
Open up! Open this door!
[10:18] UCHIMURA/ID
I didn't think she'd make me stay
up the whole time helping her.
[10:23] SYLPHID
I knew I could do it.
[10:25] SYLPHID
It took me only one night to
make my idea a reality.
[10:28] SYLPHID
Am I a genius?
[10:30] SYLPHID
Magic item "Rosemarin."
[10:32] SYLPHID
By limiting the number of usable spells
to one, we drastically reduced costs.
[10:37] SYLPHID
We can even use low-grade magic
stones to mass produce these.
[10:41] SYLPHID
All right, let's test it.
[10:44] SYLPHID
You'll be the test subject.
[10:45] UCHIMURA
Can't we at least take a break first?
[10:49] SYLPHID
Fine, but just an hour.
[10:51] UCHIMURA/ID
Why does she live so fast and recklessly?!
[10:55] UCHIMURA
I'm going to get something
to eat and take a nap.
[11:01] ULMANDRA
Why'd you stay in here all night, Uchimura?!
[11:07] ULMANDRA
Uchimura, are you all right?
[11:09] ULMANDRA
Hey! Hang in there, Uchimura!
[11:11] UCHIMURA
Please don't shake me.
You're making me sick.
[11:14] SYLPHID
If you're going to be loud,
do it elsewhere, Ulmandra.
[11:16] ULMANDRA
Huh?
[11:17] ULMANDRA
Sylphid...
[11:18] ULMANDRA
What are you doing here?
Where's the strange girl?
[11:21] SYLPHID
Who knows? Uchimura and I
are the only ones here.
[11:27] LILIM
Ms. Ulmandra, there you are.
[11:30] OLULU
And Mr. Uchimura. Good.
We've been looking for you.
[11:33] ULMANDRA
Huh? Lilim and Olulu?
[11:35] OLULU
It's an emergency.
[11:37] OLULU
A horde of footprint birds have appeared,
and several towns are under attack.
[11:40] UCHIMURA
Footprint birds?
[11:42] OLULU
They're ferocious and
massive flightless birds.
[11:45] LILIM
The Demon Overlord has ordered
us to exterminate them.
[11:49] LILIM
Ms. Ulmandra, you're our
strongest combatant.
[11:52] LILIM
You'll be visiting at least three villages.
[11:53] ULMANDRA
Hey, wait, stop.
[11:56] ULMANDRA
By myself?
[11:57] ULMANDRA
No, wait! At least let me go with Uchimura!
[12:01] SYLPHID
I see...
[12:02] SYLPHID
This is a good opportunity
to test the new magic item.
[12:06] SYLPHID
Right, Overseas Manager?
[12:08] UCHIMURA/ID
I smell blood!
[12:17] SYLPHID
Behold! This vast land stretches
on endlessly without obstructions!
[12:21] SYLPHID
It's the ideal testing ground!
[12:24] UCHIMURA
You know we're here to exterminate monsters
on the Demon Overlord's orders, right?
[12:31] UCHIMURA
Locals, please step back a little more.
[12:35] UCHIMURA
It's dangerous.
[12:36] CATSIE
Okay.
[12:39] SYLPHID
I set it to grant use of
a simple fire spell.
[12:41] SYLPHID
Try it out.
[12:43] UCHIMURA
Whoa.
[12:44] UCHIMURA
Did you perform a safety
analysis on this thing?
[12:47] SYLPHID
Even if it fails, you'll only lose a hand.
[12:50] UCHIMURA/ID
Does the concept of "safety first"
not exist in this world?!
[13:00] SYLPHID
That's just the activation
sound. Don't mind it.
[13:03] UCHIMURA
Okay.
[13:04] SYLPHID
Imagine that the stone you're
holding is a part of your body.
[13:08] SYLPHID
Let your blood flow through
the stone and circulate.
[13:12] SYLPHID
Gather the flowing power
in your right hand.
[13:16] SYLPHID
Like holding your breath or bracing your
core, accept it as a natural act.
[13:25] UCHIMURA
Wow! Even I can use magic!
[13:28] SYLPHID
It passed the first test.
[13:30] SYLPHID
That just leaves...
[13:37] SYLPHID
Actual combat!
[13:38] SYLPHID
Now exterminate the footprint birds!
[13:40] UCHIMURA/ID
That seems impossible!
[13:41] SYLPHID
If you don't hurry up and shoot,
you'll get caught in the action.
[13:44] UCHIMURA
Take this!
[13:46] UCHIMURA
All right! I hit it!
[13:48] SYLPHID
Don't lose your head over a single hit!
[13:54] UCHIMURA/ID
It's working.
[13:55] UCHIMURA/ID
With this magic device, someone as
powerless as me can help in combat.
[14:04] UCHIMURA/ID
I'm dead.
[14:08] UCHIMURA/ID
Again.
[14:14] UCHIMURA
What's going on?
[14:16] UCHIMURA/ID
It's not working.
[14:24] SYLPHID
What's wrong? Why aren't you casting?
[14:27] UCHIMURA
Because...
[14:28] SYLPHID
It overloaded.
[14:29] SYLPHID
The magic stone itself burned out.
[14:32] SYLPHID
A low-grade stone didn't work after all.
[14:35] UCHIMURA
It looks like we managed
to drive them off, though.
[14:38] SYLPHID
But our experiment was a failure.
[14:41] SYLPHID
I thought it would work, too.
[14:44] UCHIMURA
Yeah.
[14:51] CATSIE B
Eat up, everyone.
[14:53] CATSIE C
Footprint bird soup is tasty.
[14:56] CATSIE D
Not that we get to eat it very often.
[14:59] CATSIE B
Have some.
[15:01] UCHIMURA
Thank you.
[15:06] SYLPHID
How is it?
[15:07] CATSIE A
Delicious. Are you sure you
don't want any, mister?
[15:10] SYLPHID
I'm fine.
[15:12] CATSIE A
Let us know if you change your mind.
[15:19] UCHIMURA
I thought all demi-humans were physically
strong, but some are like them.
[15:25] UCHIMURA
That's news to me.
[15:28] SYLPHID
Yeah. They're small and weak.
[15:30] SYLPHID
They live a meager existence as well,
but they're always cheerful and kind.
[15:37] UCHIMURA
Ms. Sylphid?
[15:38] SYLPHID
It's nothing.
[15:39] SYLPHID
I was just recalling when I
decided I'd make magic items.
[15:45] SYLPHID
I was born to a family of elf merchants.
[15:49] SYLPHID
But due to certain circumstances,
I ended up leaving home.
[15:52] SYLPHID
Some demi-humans helped me
while I was wandering.
[15:57] SYLPHID
They couldn't use magic and
were living in poverty.
[16:02] SYLPHID
I began developing magic items
because I wanted to help them.
[16:08] SYLPHID
But as I became busy with work every
day, I forgot that initial feeling.
[16:13] SYLPHID
Perhaps I lost sight of the
meaning behind my research.
[16:17] SYLPHID
Hey, Overseas Manager.
[16:20] SYLPHID
What researchers truly want
is to save the weak.
[16:23] SYLPHID
We need to make sure this plan succeeds.
[16:27] UCHIMURA
Right.
[16:30] SYLPHID
The footprint bird horde will return soon.
[16:34] SYLPHID
Our concept is right.
[16:36] SYLPHID
This question is, how do we exterminate them
without exhausting the low-grade stones?

Could you make ten Rosemarins tonight?
[17:51] SYLPHID
I have the stone you gave me, so the
production itself is possible.
[17:55] SYLPHID
But I can't improve them. I
lack the proper equipment.
[17:58] UCHIMURA
That's fine. Please make them.
[18:01] UCHIMURA
They're fine.
[18:03] UCHIMURA
They're fine the way they are.
[18:09] UCHIMURA
I'm going to settle this account!
[18:20] UCHIMURA
Now let me show you my breakthrough.
[18:31] UCHIMURA
Rosemarin, activate!
[18:43] UCHIMURA
The magic item Rosemarin makes
a noise when it activates.
[18:48] UCHIMURA
During our experiment, it became clear that
the footprint birds disliked this noise,
[18:53] UCHIMURA
and we successfully drove them off.
[18:58] CATSIE
All right!
[19:01] CATSIE
Wow!
[19:04] CATSIE
How'd you do that?
[19:05] CATSIE
That was awesome!
[19:07] CATSIE
Hooray!
[19:08] UCHIMURA
The important thing is
that producing this sound
[19:11] UCHIMURA
consumes practically none of
the magic stone's energy.
[19:13] UCHIMURA
In other words, harmful beasts can
be driven off without using magic,
[19:18] UCHIMURA
and the magic stones can be used for long
periods of time without being consumed.
[19:21] UCHIMURA
It's a magic item that fulfills both
the cost and efficacy requirements.
[19:26] UCHIMURA
It's even effective for driving off
hellhogs and wolves.
[19:29] UCHIMURA
Distributing these to other villages
will reduce beast-related damage,
[19:33] UCHIMURA
leading to an increase in harvested crops.
[19:37] UCHIMURA
What do you think, Demon Overlord?
[19:41] DEMON OVERLORD

pressing monster problem

[20:03] DEMON OVERLORD

villages once they're made.

[20:18] UCHIMURA

done without your help.
[20:23] SYLPHID

[20:26] UCHIMURA
Yes?
[20:27] SYLPHID
Thanks to you, I made progress

If I have the time.
[20:57] SYLPHID
Oh, also...
[21:02] SYLPHID
That magic device is for combat.
It's charged with fire magic.
[21:06] SYLPHID
I improved the model that could fire
only ten shots to fire 30 instead.
[21:11] UCHIMURA
You improved this while experimenting
with the Rosemarin?
[21:14] UCHIMURA
When did you find the time?

[03:32] UCHIMURA
I knew inviting you was the
right choice, Ms. Ulmandra.
[03:36] UCHIMURA
Oh, your clothes look cute!
[03:38] UCHIMURA
They give off a different vibe, and it's lovely.
[03:40] ULMANDRA
Oh...
[03:42] ULMANDRA
Do they? Thanks...
[03:44] ULMANDRA {M}
Cute?! Me?!
[03:47] (Flashback) OLULU
Um, you wanted to discuss
something with me...?
[03:50] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
U-Uchimura said if I'm okay with it,
[03:52] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
he wanted to go to the marketplace
with me tomorrow...
[03:54] (Flashback) OLULU
Does that mean you were
invited to go on a date?
[03:57] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
W-W-What should I do?!
[04:00] (Flashback) OLULU
Please calm down.
[04:01] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
A date is a one-on-one battle!
[04:03] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
I need suitable armor!
[04:06] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
I was thinking of wearing this to it!
[04:08] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
It'll expose my whole body to the fullest
and show off my physical beauty!
[04:13] (Flashback) OLULU
The moment he sees you,
he's going to cringe.
[04:15] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
Why?!
[04:16] (Flashback) OLULU
Did you forget?
[04:18] (Flashback) OLULU
Mr. Uchimura is a human, so
eccentric outfits are out.
[04:22] (Flashback) OLULU
Isn't it better to wear something
that's dainty and cute
[04:26] (Flashback) OLULU
with a decorative feel to it?
[04:27] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
I'd be embarrassed to
wear something like that...
[04:31] (Flashback) OLULU
This outfit is a hundred times
more embarrassing, you know!
[04:34] ULMANDRA {M}
Thank you, Olulu!
[04:36] ULMANDRA {M}
Thanks to you, I think this
date might turn out well!
[04:39] UCHIMURA
Thanks to you, this research
may turn out well.
[04:42] ULMANDRA
Yeah!
[04:43] ULMANDRA
Huh? Research...?
[04:45] UCHIMURA
Oh? Didn't I tell you?
[04:48] UCHIMURA
We're going to research the
marketplace together.
[04:51] ULMANDRA {M}
We're here for work!
[05:00] ULMANDRA
And? What are we researching?
[05:03] UCHIMURA
To put it simply, we're
gathering information.
[05:06] UCHIMURA {N}
By hearing their opinions and
seeing the situation for myself,
[05:09] UCHIMURA {N}
I'm hoping to get a hint of what is needed
to make the Demon Army even better.
[05:15] UCHIMURA
Well, let's first just enjoy the
marketplace together as customers.
[05:21] ULMANDRA {M}
But, it's still not a date!
[05:26] MERCHANT 1
Oh? You're the new elite general,
the Overseas Manager, Mr. Uchimura!
[05:32] UCHIMURA
Oh, yes. How did you know that?
[05:34] MERCHANT 1
There's a rumor going around
among the merchants that
[05:37] MERCHANT 1
a human wearing strange clothes
has become an elite general.
[05:41] UCHIMURA
Oh?
[05:41] MERCHANT 1
For example, that long cloth
necklace you're wearing.
[05:44] MERCHANT 1
I've never seen one in any country.
[05:47] UCHIMURA {M}
Impressive as expected...
[05:47] MERCHANT 1 {background}
Now that I'm seeing it for myself, that
outfit certainly does look strange...
[05:48] UCHIMURA {M}
Merchants are always looking out
for situations and rumors
[05:51] UCHIMURA {M}
in order to promote their
business accordingly.
[05:55] UCHIMURA {M}
There's no reason not to use their
network to gather information.
[06:00] MERCHANT 1
And over there is the famous
Inferno Assailant, Ms. Ulmandra.
[06:05] MERCHANT 1
Could it be that you two are...
[06:07] ULMANDRA
D-Don't get the wrong idea!
[06:09] ULMANDRA
We're surveying the marketplace!
[06:10] MERCHANT 1
Oh, I see.
[06:12] MERCHANT 1
Anyway, since there are two
elite generals present,
[06:15] MERCHANT 1
I'll show you my special products.
[06:20] UCHIMURA
Oh...
[06:21] UCHIMURA {M}
Made of pure gold... Are
they foreign goods?
[06:23] MERCHANT 1
I'll give you a discount on these
glasses if you buy them as a pair.
[06:29] MERCHANT 1
They can become wedding glasses as well.
[06:31] ULMANDRA {M}
W-Wedding?!
[06:32] UCHIMURA
I'll take them.
[06:33] ULMANDRA
What?
[06:34] UCHIMURA
In exchange, I want to ask you something.
[06:37] MERCHANT 1
Oh? As you wish.
[06:39] ULMANDRA {M}
H-Hey, they're wedding
glasses?! Does that mean...
[06:43] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra... I know we're in the middle
of work, but I can't hold back my feelings!
[06:48] UCHIMURA
Let's immediately make a
toast with these glasses.
[06:51] ULMANDRA {M}
G-Goodness... You're the one who
said this was work, Uchimura.
[06:56] ULMANDRA {M}
What is this sudden mixing of
public and private matters...
[06:58] UCHIMURA
Is something the matter?
[07:00] ULMANDRA
Huh?!
[07:00] MERCHANT 1
Thank you for your business as always!
[07:02] UCHIMURA
I was able to get good information
and product samples.
[07:05] UCHIMURA
Now, let's continue our research!
[07:08] ULMANDRA {M}
We're still working!
[07:18] DEMI-HUMAN CHILDREN {background}
Yay! How's that?!
[07:22] DEMI-HUMAN CHILDREN {background}
Get 'em right there! Right there!
[07:25] DEMI-HUMAN CHILDREN {background}
Yay!
[07:29] UCHIMURA
Now then, Ms. Ulmandra, let's go over
today's results from our research.
SIGN Ogre Tribe
SIGN Minotaur Tribe
SIGN Demon Army
[07:33] UCHIMURA
To begin, the annexation alliance policy
with the demi-human races such as the Ogre tribe
SIGN Annexation Policy
SIGN Annexation Policy
SIGN Culture
SIGN Exchange of Personnel
[07:38] UCHIMURA
has led to a thriving exchange
of cultures and personnel.
[07:41] ULMANDRA
Yeah, come to think of it.
[07:42] ULMANDRA
There are more stores that sell
items we've never seen before,
[07:45] ULMANDRA
which has attracted more attention.
[07:46] UCHIMURA
However, there is also a negative
side to this policy...
[07:50] ULMANDRA
A negative side?
[07:51] UCHIMURA
There's a food problem.
[07:53] UCHIMURA
It's becoming more difficult
to cover the food supply
[07:56] UCHIMURA
for the rapidly increasing population.
SIGN Food
[07:58] UCHIMURA
Especially, the price of the staple
food gim has inflated abnormally,
[08:01] UCHIMURA
putting pressure on people's lives.
[08:03] ULMANDRA
Yeah. It's just way too expensive!
[08:05] ULMANDRA
But when I went to the
gim merchant's store...
[08:08] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
Make it cheaper!
[08:10] (Flashback) SHOPKEEPER
Th-There's nothing I can do. We're
a business, too, you know?
[08:13] (Flashback) SHOPKEEPER
We'll close for good if I do that!
[08:15] ULMANDRA
They didn't seem like they
were profiting off of it.
[08:18] ULMANDRA
Just what is...
[08:20] UCHIMURA
It seems like there's a problem
with wholesale pricing.
[08:24] ULMANDRA
What do you mean?
[08:25] UCHIMURA
Wholesalers mediate transactions
so that products made by producers
[08:29] UCHIMURA
can be smoothly distributed to stores.
[08:31] UCHIMURA
They should be buying the gim
produced by the farmers in bulk,
SIGN Farms
SIGN Wholesale
SIGN Store
[08:35] UCHIMURA
and distributing it to stores, but...
[08:37] UCHIMURA
If a wholesaler decides to sell the gim at a
high price to make excessive profit,
SIGN Wholesale 10,000 G
[08:40] UCHIMURA
the store that bought it will have no
choice but to raise the price as well...
[08:44] ULMANDRA
Then we should just walk over to
those wholesalers right now, and...
[08:47] UCHIMURA
This is still only based on assumptions.
[08:49] UCHIMURA
Wholesalers are managed by a large
commercial organization called a guild.
[08:54] UCHIMURA
If we act recklessly, it could lead
to a problem that could shake the nation.
[08:58] UCHIMURA
We must take our time for now
and proceed with caution.
[09:03] ULMANDRA
I see.
[09:04] UCHIMURA {M}
The wall between demons and
demi-humans is just one of many.
[09:07] UCHIMURA {M}
There are still many problems in this
country that cannot be solved simply.
[09:11] UCHIMURA {M}
Calmly, we must solve each
one, one at a time.
[09:16] UCHIMURA
So with that, our market research is done.
[09:19] UCHIMURA
What should we do now, Ms. Ulmandra?
[09:21] UCHIMURA
There's still time.
[09:24] ULMANDRA {M}
I-Is... it a date?!
[09:25] UCHIMURA
As my thanks, I...
[09:27] ULMANDRA {M}
Is it a date?!
[09:28] GNOME
Uchimura.
[09:31] UCHIMURA
Ms. Gnome!
[09:33] UCHIMURA
What a coincidence meeting you here.
[09:36] UCHIMURA
Are you here to shop?
[09:37] GNOME
Today is Ruuya after all.
[09:39] UCHIMURA
Hm? Ruuya?
[09:41] GNOME
Well, simply put, it's an
old custom of my race.
[09:45] GNOME
On this day we give gifts
to those we care about.
[09:47] UCHIMURA
I see. So you're getting things
for the people in your unit?
[09:51] GNOME
Well, it's not for the one who's
dying to kill me over there. That's for sure.
[09:55] ULMANDRA
Grrrr!
[09:57] CHIMO COUPLE
Master Gnome!
[10:02] ZUMO
Please... Please...
[10:04] CHIMO
Help us.
[10:06] CHIMO/ZUMO
Save our store!
[10:07] GNOME
Hmm...
[10:08] UCHIMURA/ULMANDRA
Oh...!
[10:11] ZUMO
Please help us...
[10:17] UCHIMURA
What in the world happened?
[10:20] ULMANDRA
Tell us.
[10:23] CHIMO
For years, my husband and I have run this
store selling a food called chimozu...
[10:30] ZUMO
However, year after year,
sales have been declining.
[10:32] ZUMO
Just when we were worrying about
what to do, that merchant appeared.
[10:37] ZUMO
A big merchant named Butagalian
placed a large order on the spot,
[10:43] ZUMO
saying that since gim prices are soaring,
he could make a profit off of chimozu,
[10:47] ZUMO
which is cheap and keeps you full.
[10:50] CHIMO
We were ecstatic and stayed
up all night to make it.
[10:54] ZUMO
However, come morning of the deadline,
[10:56] ZUMO
we were informed that he was
going to pull out of the deal.
[10:59] ZUMO
He said that he didn't know chimozu
only kept for one day!
[11:00] ZUMO {background}
What?!
[11:03] ZUMO
It's just too cruel.
[11:05] CHIMO
We'll have no choice but to close our store
with a large amount of unsold goods.
[11:10] GNOME
Uchimura, I heard you're not
only a strong negotiator,
[11:14] GNOME
but you also have a deep
knowledge of cooking.
[11:16] GNOME
Is there no way to handle this?
[11:18] ULMANDRA
Uchimura.
[11:20] UCHIMURA
The situation seems pretty dire.
[11:23] UCHIMURA
But if we make good use of the information
we gathered from our market research,
[11:27] UCHIMURA
then perhaps...
[11:38] UCHIMURA
No...
[11:42] UCHIMURA
I'm certain I can save this store!
[11:44] ULMANDRA
All right, that's more like it!
[11:46] ULMANDRA
Aren't ya glad?! Right?
[11:48] CHIMO/ZUMO
Yes, yes we are!
[11:49] CHIMO/ZUMO
Thank you so much!
[11:51] GNOME
I take it I can trust those words.
[11:54] UCHIMURA
Yes.
[11:55] UCHIMURA
Will you leave this to me?
[11:59] GNOME
I'm counting on you, Uchimura.
[12:01] ULMANDRA
Uchimura and I will handle the rest.
[12:03] ULMANDRA
Shoo, shoo!
[12:05] UCHIMURA
In a business, it's important to verbalize
the goals you wish to achieve.
[12:10] UCHIMURA
So, first off, let's clarify
the goal we're aiming for.
[12:14] ULMANDRA
Yeah!
[12:14] CHIMO COUPLE {background}
Yeah...
[12:15] ULMANDRA
Come on, you guys, too!
[12:17] CHIMO COUPLE
Yeah!
[12:18] ULMANDRA
Uchimura, continue!
[12:20] UCHIMURA
O-Oh, right.
[12:21] UCHIMURA
The chimozu expires today.
[12:24] UCHIMURA
Which means we need to sell
300 servings of chimozu,
[12:28] UCHIMURA
which is equivalent to half a month's
worth of sales, by the end of the day.
[12:33] ULMANDRA
We'll sell it all!
[12:35] CHIMO COUPLE
We'll sell it all!
[12:37] ULMANDRA
Continue!
[12:38] UCHIMURA
U-Um, and so...
[12:40] UCHIMURA
When I ate the chimozu earlier,
[12:42] UCHIMURA
it was very similar to a food called
mochi from the world I came from.
[12:46] UCHIMURA
The rustic look and taste...
[12:48] UCHIMURA
I can see why it's been
popular here for so many years.
[12:51] UCHIMURA
But it lacks a bit of impact.
[12:52] CHIMO/ZUMO
Yeah...
[12:54] UCHIMURA
However, on the contrary, this
will work to our advantage.
[12:57] CHIMO COUPLE
What?!
[12:58] ULMANDRA
Our advantage?
[12:59] UCHIMURA
Yes. Just like the mochi,
[13:01] UCHIMURA
since the chimozu doesn't
have an assertive taste,
[13:03] UCHIMURA
it can easily be combined with
other dishes for a variety of recipes.
[13:06] ULMANDRA AND OTHERS
Oh...
[13:07] UCHIMURA
And so, the question is what kind
of recipe should we use.
[13:10] UCHIMURA
What is your current customer base?
[13:12] CHIMO/ZUMO
Oh...
[13:13] ZUMO
Chimozu is an old-fashioned food,
and most of our customers are elderly,
[13:18] ZUMO
but now it's losing popularity
amongst them as well.
[13:21] ZUMO
To be honest, we're tired of it too...
[13:23] ULMANDRA
You don't like your own product?!
[13:25] CHIMO
Some youngsters don't even know the name.
[13:27] UCHIMURA
I see...
[13:29] UCHIMURA
Then, since we don't have much time,
from here on let's split the work.
[13:33] UCHIMURA
The married couple and I will team up
to brainstorm new uses for the chimozu.
[13:36] CHIMO COUPLE
Y-Yes, sir!
[13:37] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra will go around
to the stores listed here,
[13:41] UCHIMURA
and request their assistance
with our strategy.
[13:44] ULMANDRA
Leave it to me!
SIGN Wow!
SIGN Amazing!
SIGN That's nice!
SIGN Amazing!
SIGN What's that?
SIGN Where should we start?
SIGN Oh, wow!
SIGN Look! Look!
SIGN Look! Look!
SIGN What's going on?
[14:05] UCHIMURA
Come now, everyone! Behold!
[14:08] UCHIMURA
Today is Ruuya Day!
[14:09] UCHIMURA
You can shoot a hellhog,
[14:11] UCHIMURA
sumo wrestle beetles,
[14:13] UCHIMURA
and whack a Doguran mole!
[14:16] UCHIMURA
Please enjoy!
[14:19] ULMANDRA
Go! Right there!
[14:20] ULMANDRA
Push 'em over, Ulmaru!
[14:24] ULMANDRA
All right!
[14:27] ULMANDRA
Oh, uh, I haven't forgotten about work.
[14:30] ULMANDRA
Is this okay, Uchimura?
[14:32] UCHIMURA
Yes, it's just what I had in mind.
[14:34] BOY (DEMON)
That looks fun. Can we stop and play?
[14:37] MOTHER (DEMON)
We can, but what is Ruuya Day?
[14:39] PASSER-BY
I've never heard of it.
[14:41] UCHIMURA
I'm glad you asked!
[14:44] UCHIMURA
Ruuya Day. It's a holiday based on an old legend.
[14:49] UCHIMURA
Once upon a time...
[14:52] UCHIMURA
there was a very beautiful girl
and a young man selling chimozu.
[14:57] UCHIMURA
One day, the two happened to meet at
the marketplace and fell in love.
[15:00] UCHIMURA
However, a powerful man who
wished to make the girl his queen
[15:05] UCHIMURA
burned with jealousy and
forbade them from ever meeting again.
[15:11] UCHIMURA
Even so...
[15:12] UCHIMURA
the girl and the young man met
on a dark night of "Ruuya,"
[15:16] UCHIMURA
which means "new moon" in their language.
[15:19] UCHIMURA
While eating chimozu, they wished
to someday live together.
[15:24] UCHIMURA
That was when their wish
reached the heavens,
[15:27] UCHIMURA
and they were welcomed
to the starry world by a rainbow
[15:32] UCHIMURA
and lived happily ever after.
[15:36] UCHIMURA
The end.
[15:39] UCHIMURA
And so, this lore has become the basis
for what is known as Ruuya Day.
[15:43] UCHIMURA
And tonight is a new moon.
[15:45] UCHIMURA
If you give chimozu to your loved ones,
such as a lover or family member,
[15:49] UCHIMURA
and exchange and eat it together,
[15:52] UCHIMURA
your wish may come true.
[15:55] MOB CUSTOMER 1
Oh, sounds like fun.
[15:56] MOB CUSTOMER 2
Maybe I'll buy it and give it a try.
[15:58] UCHIMURA{M}
All right! They're responding well.
[16:02] UCHIMURA{M}
I'm glad I asked Ms. Gnome
about Ruuya's lore in detail.
[16:07] UCHIMURA{M}
Holiday marketing around
days such as Christmas, Valentine's Day,
[16:11] UCHIMURA{M}
and more recently, Ehoumaki
sushi rolls and Halloween,
[16:14] UCHIMURA{M}
has been very successful in increasing
consumers' eagerness to buy.
[16:20] UCHIMURA
Okay, you two!
[16:22] CHIMO COUPLE
There!
[16:29] MOB CUSTOMER 2
It's colorful and fancy!
[16:29] OTHER MOBS {overlap}
So pretty!
[16:30] MOB CUSTOMERS
It's like a rainbow in the night sky!
[16:32] MOB CUSTOMERS
I want to eat that!
[16:33] MOB CUSTOMERS
Well, why don't we get
all seven colors then.
[16:36] MOB CUSTOMERS
Me, too!
[16:37] CHIMO
Y-Yes!
[16:37] ZUMO
Thank you very much!
[16:39] UCHIMURA
We also have table seating available.
[16:41] UCHIMURA
Please enjoy the stores
around while you relax.
[16:46] MOB CUSTOMERS {background}
Yum!
[16:46] ULMANDRA
Chimozu was supposed to be food
meant for geezers and hags,
[16:47] MOB CUSTOMERS {background}
This isn't bad at all.
[16:49] ULMANDRA
but it's all young customers.
[16:52] UCHIMURA
This is the base of this
marketing strategy.
[16:54] UCHIMURA
It's called repositioning.
[16:56] ULMANDRA
Repo...
[16:57] ULMANDRA
What's that?
[16:58] UCHIMURA
Products whose the sales have
declined due to the passage of time
[17:02] UCHIMURA
can be increased again by changing
the main target customer
[17:07] UCHIMURA
to a customer base that suits the times.
[17:09] ULMANDRA
A customer base that suits the times...?
[17:11] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra, recall the market
research from earlier.
[17:15] UCHIMURA
If we roughly categorize
the market customers,
[17:18] UCHIMURA
the proportion of young people and
families was surprisingly high.
[17:21] UCHIMURA
Who better to target than people
who are not familiar with chimozu
[17:26] UCHIMURA
and are interested in trying new products?
[17:28] ULMANDRA
I see!
[17:30] ULMANDRA
That's why you chose that chimozu recipe
[17:32] ULMANDRA
and used other stores to gather customers.
[17:34] ULMANDRA
It looks like it'll keep the store
from going out of business.
[17:34] ZUMO {background}
Thank you so much!
[17:36] CHIMO {background}
Thank you.
[17:37] CHIMO COUPLE {background}
Yes!
[17:37] UCHIMURA
Yes. On the contrary, it may become the most
popular item in this market overnight.
[17:38] CHIMO COUPLE {background}
Yes, here you go!
[17:41] CHIMO COUPLE {background}
Yes! Seven colors! Thank you very much!
[17:43] UCHIMURA
No, it will!
[17:44] UCHIMURA
This is the dawn of the chimozu!
[17:51] ULMANDRA
Hey, Uchimura?
[17:53] UCHIMURA {mumbles}
Eventually, they could open chain stores
[17:55] UCHIMURA {mumbles}
in other marketplaces and nations.
[17:57] UCHIMURA {mumbles}
The information gained there could
be used by the Demon Army to—
[17:57] ULMANDRA
Huh?
[17:59] ULMANDRA
H-Hey! U-Uchimura?!
[18:01] ULMANDRA
What's wrong, Uchimura?!
[18:02] ULMANDRA
Uchimura?!
[18:03] ULMANDRA
Come back!
[18:10] ZUMO
To think we were able to sell out...
[18:13] CHIMO
How shall we ever repay you?
[18:15] ULMANDRA
Don't worry about it.
[18:17] UCHIMURA
Besides, we were only able to sell out
successfully because of your hard work.
[18:21] ULMANDRA
Yup. Yup.
[18:23] UCHIMURA
And also with Ms. Gnome's assistance.
[18:25] ULMANDRA
Yup. Y-Yu...huh?
[18:26] ULMANDRA
Wait, why does she get mentioned here?!
[18:28] ULMANDRA
She's the one who didn't help and just left!
[18:31] UCHIMURA
There were a few demi-human
customers who mentioned this.
[18:35] (Flashback) DEMI-HUMAN MAN
I heard from Ms. Gnome and came by.
[18:37] (Flashback) DEMI-HUMAN WOMAN
Is this the place where
something fun is happening?
[18:40] UCHIMURA
I'm sure after that, she went around
and told people about this store.
[18:50] ULMANDRA
Hmph, what a roundabout way of doing things.
[18:52] UCHIMURA
Some customers said that because
you were helping a demi-human's store,
[18:55] UCHIMURA
it changed their views
of demons a little bit.
[18:59] ULMANDRA
I-I don't care whether someone is a
demon or demi-human in the first place!
[19:03] ULMANDRA
I just don't like her, that's all.
[19:05] ZUMO
Um... This is...
[19:06] CHIMO
A little thanks from us.
[19:08] UCHIMURA/ULMANDRA
Huh?!
[19:09] CHIMO/ZUMO
Please enjoy it together.
[19:11] UCHIMURA
Oh, then I'll gladly take it.
[19:13] ULMANDRA {M}
W-We're having chimozu together?!
[19:15] ULMANDRA
Oh?
[19:16] ULMANDRA {M}
In the lore, the wish the two made
came true and they ended up together.
[19:20] ULMANDRA {M}
What does Uchimura wish for...?
[19:21] ULMANDRA {M}
N-Not that I'm expecting
anything from it, but...
[19:24] UCHIMURA
Oh, speaking of thanks, here.
[19:26] ULMANDRA
Huh?
[19:27] UCHIMURA {Overlaps here and there}
A thanks for helping me with my work today.
[19:27] ULMANDRA {M}
A w-wedding glass?!
[19:29] UCHIMURA {Overlaps here and there}
I was thinking of giving
it to you over lunch,
[19:31] ULMANDRA {M}
I-I received the magic stone that
symbolizes a proposal the other day.
[19:32] UCHIMURA {Overlaps here and there}
but this came up so I
completely forgot about it.
[19:35] ULMANDRA {M}
This can only mean... one thing.
[19:44] ULMANDRA {M}
N-No wait, Uchimura. I'm
not mentally ready yet...
[19:48] ULMANDRA {M}
B-But, if you really want to... No, no...
[19:52] UCHIMURA
Hm?
[19:57] ULMANDRA
Uchimura...
[19:58] ULMANDRA
W-What are you going to wish
for when you eat the chimozu?
[20:01] UCHIMURA
Isn't it obvious?
[20:04] UCHIMURA
Ah, it's delicious if I do say so myself.
[20:07] UCHIMURA
The success of my next project.
[20:10] ULMANDRA {M}
It's work as expected!

You stupid idiot!
[20:14] ULMANDRA
You workaholic monster!
[20:16] ULMANDRA
There are other things you could wish for!
[20:18] UCHIMURA
Wha?!
[20:21] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord, I obtained a lot of useful
information from today's market research.
[20:26] UCHIMURA
However, amongst them, this is the one
thing I wish to report to you immediately.
[20:31] DEMON OVERLORD
Gold... is it?
[20:33] UCHIMURA
Yes. I heard there is a neighboring nation
[20:36] UCHIMURA
called the Golden Country.
[20:40] UCHIMURA
If you wish to expand trade in the future,
[20:42] UCHIMURA
I believe this would be the
country you should start with.
[20:45] UCHIMURA
It proudly boasts the largest gold mines.
[20:47] UCHIMURA
If we trade with wealthy countries, it will
raise the Demon Army's power,
[20:50] UCHIMURA
which should lead to a solution
to the food shortage.
[20:56] UCHIMURA
Then please immediately prepare for
negotiations as well, Demon Overlord.
[21:00] UCHIMURA
The product that is worthy of trading
with gold in this country would be...
[21:04] DEMON OVERLORD
The product is this!
[21:07] UCHIMURA
Oh! The Rosemarin...?!
[21:08] UCHIMURA
Are you certain of this?!
[21:09] UCHIMURA
It's a new technology only
possessed by the Demon Army!
[21:12] UCHIMURA
We mustn't easily let it...
[21:13] DEMON OVERLORD
There aren't many researchers
as talented as Sylphid.
[21:16] UCHIMURA
Huh?!
[21:17] DEMON OVERLORD
It'll be hard to replicate right away.
[21:20] DEMON OVERLORD
And it doesn't matter if they
do replicate it in the end.
[21:24] DEMON OVERLORD
Because you can steal technology,
[21:27] DEMON OVERLORD
but you can't steal personnel.
[21:31] UCHIMURA
You can't steal... personnel.
[21:34] DEMON OVERLORD
Our country is still a small country,
[21:37] DEMON OVERLORD
but we are second to none in
terms of personnel.
[21:40] DEMON OVERLORD
As long as you talented people are with me,
[21:43] DEMON OVERLORD
I'm certain you will produce an even
greater technology next time.
[21:47] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord!
[21:49] DEMON OVERLORD
However, Uchimura!
[21:50] DEMON OVERLORD
Be mindful.

of Rampage is formidable.

It's been a few months since I've
become one of the Four Elite Generals,
[00:07] UCHIMURA {M}
and finally, the day has come...
[00:11] UCHIMURA {M}
Today is...
[00:16] UCHIMURA
My first business trip as an elite general!
[00:21] OLULU
Then, I shall arrange a
precursor to your visit.
[00:24] UCHIMURA
Yeah. If you could, thanks.
[00:25] ULMANDRA
Your client is the Rampage Kingdom.
[00:27] ULMANDRA
Are you going to be okay by yourself?
[00:28] ULMANDRA
Maybe I should go with you...
[00:30] UCHIMURA
Oh, no, I'm fine.
[00:31] UCHIMURA
The appointment for this
negotiation was set up
[00:33] UCHIMURA
with the pretense of my inauguration
as an elite general.
[00:36] UCHIMURA
I have to go alone.
[00:37] ULMANDRA
I see...
[00:38] ULMANDRA
Just be careful, Uchimura.
[00:40] ULMANDRA
Rampage's king is young and shrewd.
[00:43] ULMANDRA
However, he has a temper.
[00:44] ULMANDRA
If you rub him the wrong way,
you're in for trouble.
[00:48] ULMANDRA
There was once a merchant who
sold him counterfeit goods
[00:51] ULMANDRA
and pissed him off so much

Got fed to a crocodile?

So this is it.

[02:55] UCHIMURA {M}
The liveliness is amazing.
[02:57] UCHIMURA {M}
I was right to select this country.
[03:01] UCHIMURA {M}
Until now, the Demon Army has mainly
exported crops such as gim.

[03:06] UCHIMURA {M}

[03:12] UCHIMURA {M}
but also the importation of those crops.

[03:17] UCHIMURA {M}
So, what we need is something with
value that can be traded instead.
[03:21] UCHIMURA {M}
In other words, it's about acquiring gold.
[03:25] UCHIMURA {M}
Even in this world, it seems gold
is a mainstream resource for trade.
[03:30] UCHIMURA {M}
The Golden Country, the
Kingdom of Rampage...
[03:33] UCHIMURA {M}
There's no better trading partner
for acquiring a steady flow of gold.
[03:38] UCHIMURA {M}
For the sake of the Demon Army's future,
[03:40] UCHIMURA {M}
failure is not an option
for today's negotiation!
[03:45] UCHIMURA {M}
I'm glad...
[03:46] UCHIMURA {M}
I got in smoothly, thanks to
the arrangements made in advance.
[03:50] UCHIMURA {M}
I needed a good reason to have
an audience with the Rampage King.
[03:54] ULMANDRA {M}
I used my title of elite general.
[03:58] UCHIMURA {M}
My inauguration seems to be
working well as a reason.

You are in the presence of the Rampage King.
[04:30] UCHIMURA

[04:40] UCHIMURA
Oh!

The Overseas Manager, Dennosuke Uchimura.
[04:44] RAMPAGE KING {overlap}
After becoming an elite
general of the Demon Army,
[04:46] RAMPAGE KING {overlap}
you've annexed the surrounding
tribes and promoted domestic reforms.
[04:50] RAMPAGE KING {overlap}
I've heard you're quite skilled.
[04:54] RAMPAGE KING {overlap}
Did you think I would not know anything?
[04:56] UCHIMURA {M}
To think he investigated me...
[04:59] UCHIMURA {M}
This king is good.
[05:01] RAMPAGE KING
However, I don't understand.
[05:03] RAMPAGE KING
It's been some time since you took office.
[05:07] UCHIMURA
Hm?
[05:08] RAMPAGE KING
Why did you not come to greet me sooner?
[05:12] UCHIMURA
Oh...
[05:13] UCHIMURA
I am terribly sorry!
[05:14] UCHIMURA
Please forgive me!
[05:16] UCHIMURA {M}
This is not good.
[05:18] UCHIMURA {M}
It's going in a bad direction...
SIGN A Diagram of Salarymen Negotiating
[05:19] UCHIMURA {M}
The main reason why I'm here is
to negotiate with the king...
[05:22] UCHIMURA {M}
Negotiations are a kind
of psychological warfare.
[05:24] UCHIMURA {M}
The person higher in
position has the advantage.
[05:27] UCHIMURA {M}
But with that remark,
[05:29] UCHIMURA {M}
the balance in power tipped towards
the king, making him superior.
[05:32] RAMPAGE KING
And? What did you come here for today?
[05:35] RAMPAGE KING
You’ve summoned me for more
than just a greeting, haven't you?
[05:39] UCHIMURA
Y-Yes, sir!
[05:40] UCHIMURA
Today, I have prepared an offering
for you, Your Highness!
[05:48] UCHIMURA
I have brought you the finest silver goods!
[05:57] RAMPAGE KING
You've brought silver to the
King of the Golden Country?
[06:00] RAMPAGE KING
You dare to mock me?
[06:03] UCHIMURA
I am terribly sorry!
[06:06] UCHIMURA
T-Then... how about this?
[06:10] RAMPAGE KING
It's just a plain magic stone.
[06:13] RAMPAGE KING
In fact, it's a low-grade, inferior product.
[06:15] RAMPAGE KING
What good would...
[06:16] UCHIMURA
If I told you this Rosemarin has the
power to drive away magical beasts...
[06:21] UCHIMURA
would you believe me?
[06:23] RAMPAGE KING
Oh?
[06:24] UCHIMURA
This is a tool that was originally
developed by the Demon Army.
[06:28] UCHIMURA
It is distributed only within our
country and not anywhere else.
[06:32] UCHIMURA
The Kingdom of Rampage is
a gold-rich country.
[06:34] UCHIMURA
Isn't there a problem with gold mining?
[06:38] RAMPAGE KING
The rock golems.
[06:41] UCHIMURA
Yes.
[06:42] UCHIMURA
I hear that magical beasts known
as rock golems haunt the mines
[06:45] UCHIMURA
and interfere with the mining, resulting
in a need for hiring professional guards.
[06:49] UCHIMURA
However, just by carrying this, the beast
would flee and the miners can work safely.
[06:55] RAMPAGE KING
I see...
[06:56] RAMPAGE KING
Cutting the cost in hiring the guards.
[07:06] UCHIMURA
These Rosemarins are our offering this time.
[07:10] UCHIMURA
Please try them out first, and if you
like them, we can sell them to you.
[07:15] UCHIMURA
Please consider it.
[07:18] RAMPAGE KING
Very well.

is true or some made up crap.

to try and stand equal before me.

And above all, you are loyal, and immediately
act when a king's life is in danger.

can have 200 sets prepared...

Huh?

If I order you to give it to me,
hand it over with gratitude.

stones. I won't allow anything else.

[09:51] SYLPHID (WOMAN) {M}
Right... The conflict between you,

[09:54] SYLPHID (WOMAN) {M}
and those who are unaware of
your hardship out in the field.

What are you going to do, "Manager"?
[10:00] SYLPHID (WOMAN)
If you push them to their limit,
the organization will collapse.
[10:03] UCHIMURA
Huh? Wait, priority should have been given
to areas that were affected by magical beasts.
[10:08] UCHIMURA
And only the necessary amount should've
been distributed throughout the country.
[10:12] SYLPHID (MAN)
What?!
[10:13] OLULU
That's right, so?
[10:15] UCHIMURA
Production should have calmed down by now.
[10:18] SYLPHID (WOMAN) {M}

of what's going on on-site for a mere salesman.
[10:23] UCHIMURA
Mr. Sylphid... You're trying
to slack off, aren't you?
[10:27] SYLPHID (MAN)
All right, I'll do it!
[10:28] SYLPHID (MAN)
Two hundred sets, right?
[10:31] UCHIMURA
Hm? You're from the Rampage Kingdom...
[10:34] MESSENGER
I have a message from the king!
[10:36] MESSENGER
The results of the Rosemarin were
beyond what he had imagined.
[10:39] MESSENGER
He wishes to order 100
more sets by next week!
[10:41] SYLPHID (MAN)
What?
[10:52] OLULU
Good work, sir.
[10:53] OLULU
It's truly amazing.
[10:55] OLULU
In just one week, you managed
to get an order for 300 sets.
[10:58] UCHIMURA
Yeah, thanks.
[11:00] UCHIMURA
Just as I thought, the Rampage Kingdom
has a lot of financial power...
[11:03] OLULU
Speaking of which, how much
did you sell each one for?
[11:06] UCHIMURA
Fifty thousand G.
[11:07] OLULU
Fifty thousand G?!
[11:08] OLULU
Which means, with 300 sets
that's... 150 million G?!
[11:13] OLULU
How in the world did you pull that off?
[11:15] UCHIMURA
This time, I used a technique called
the "anchoring effect" in psychology.
[11:20] OLULU
The anchoring effect?
[11:22] UCHIMURA
People tend to base their decisions on
the first information they receive.
[11:30] UCHIMURA
Of course, this unknown magical
device has no established value yet.
[11:37] UCHIMURA
Therefore, the seller can set the price,
but no matter how high the price is set,
[11:42] UCHIMURA
it's meaningless if the buyer
doesn't believe its worth.
[11:44] UCHIMURA
That's why I decided to first
show the king some high-end goods.
[11:47] UCHIMURA
I purposefully chose silverware so that
he wouldn't accept it right away.
[11:51] UCHIMURA
Such an offering was sure
to anger the king,
[11:53] UCHIMURA
but a man of his caliber recognized
that the goods themselves were valuable.
[11:59] UCHIMURA
With that, I was able to place
an "anchor" in the king
[12:02] UCHIMURA
stating that "The items I have
brought with me are luxury items."
[12:04] UCHIMURA
It made him think that the Rosemarin I
presented next was a high-value item.
[12:10] OLULU
I had no idea that was possible...
Very impressive, Mr. Uchimura!
[12:13] OLULU
Then, you were expecting
this many orders as well!
[12:16] UCHIMURA
Nah, even I wasn't expecting this many...
[12:20] MESSENGER
Pardon me! Please add another 100 sets!
[12:22] UCHIMURA/OLULU
What?!
[12:27] UCHIMURA
P-Prepare an offering! The confectionery
sweets with a folding box!
[12:31] SYLPHID (MALE)
We'll increase the production lines!
[12:33] SYLPHID (MALE)
Place an additional ten workers on it!
[12:44] UCHIMURA
Product inspection please.
[12:46] FACTORY CRAFTSMAN B
Yes, sir!
[12:47] OLULU
The first set was successfully delivered!
[12:51] UCHIMURA
Everyone, just a little more to go!
[12:57] UCHIMURA
Another 200 sets completed...
[12:59] UCHIMURA
All that's left is to deliver it all.
[13:01] UCHIMURA {M}
With that, this should
settle the orders for now.
[13:04] UCHIMURA {M}
However, if the magic runs
out, they would need to be replaced.
[13:08] UCHIMURA {M}
If it's in continuous operation,
it would take about a month.
[13:11] UCHIMURA {M}
A good product is one that's
consumed and bought again.
[13:15] UCHIMURA {M}

[15:06] FACTORY CRAFTSMAN B
We've already ordered a large amount
of magic stones as raw material!
[15:10] OLULU
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
[15:11] OLULU
But, right now, there's
nothing else I can say...
[15:14] FACTORY CRAFTSMAN A
That's so irresponsible!
[15:15] FACTORY CRAFTSMAN B
You guys were the ones who gave the order!
[15:17] FACTORY CRAFTSMAN B
That's why we created an impossible schedule.
[15:20] FACTORY CRAFTSMAN B
Do something about this!
[15:24] DEMI-HUMAN A
Huh?
[15:25] DEMI-HUMAN A
The arrow shipment hasn't come in yet.
[15:27] DEMI-HUMAN B
And there aren't replacements for it.
[15:28] URUZU
Oh, there seems to be a
problem on the trading side,
[15:32] URUZU
and we're temporarily low on funds.
[15:34] URUZU
For now, we'll have to use
second-hand weapons for training.
[15:36] DEMI-HUMAN C
Are you serious?!
[15:38] DEMI-HUMAN B
Did that new elite general do something?
[15:41] DEMI-HUMAN A
It's that Rosema-whatchamacallit.
[15:43] DEMI-HUMAN A
That's what they get
for relying on magic!
[15:46] DEMI-HUMAN C
I bet our budget was the
first thing they cut.
[15:48] GNOME
Settle down.
[15:49] GNOME
This time, it seems everyone is struggling.
[15:52] GNOME
There are already rumors going around.
[15:54] VOICE A
I heard we lost a reliable
source to trade for gold.
[15:57] VOICE B
I was asked to pay my bill
with gim this month.
[16:00] VOICE C
I thought there was good
momentum going here,
[16:02] VOICE C
but maybe I should consider doing
business in another country.
[16:06] UCHIMURA {M}
What in the world happened?
[16:08] UCHIMURA {M}
Did I offend the Rampage
King in some way?
[16:11] UCHIMURA {M}
No, first, an explanation
is needed in various areas.
[16:13] UCHIMURA {M}
In this short period of time, a copy
of the Rosemarin is being circulated?
[16:17] UCHIMURA {M}
Impossible.
[16:18] UCHIMURA {M}
I have to think about the burden
being placed on Olulu, too.
[16:21] UCHIMURA {M}
How are the Demon Army's finances?
[16:23] UCHIMURA {M}
Our reputation?
[16:24] UCHIMURA {M}
Morale is being affected by this.
[16:26] (Flashback) VOICE 1
Demote the one in charge!
[16:28] (Flashback) VOICE 2
It doesn't matter who messed up!
[16:31] (Flashback) VOICE 2
Everything will be settled if you
take responsibility for it!
[16:33] VOICE 3
Leaving it to you was a mistake!
[16:35] (Flashback) VOICE 1
We have you for times like these, don't we?
[16:38] (Flashback) VOICE 1
Go on, bow your head and apologize for us.
[16:49] DEMON OVERLORD
So you claim that it's all
due to your misjudgment?
[16:52] UCHIMURA
Yes.
[16:53] DEMON OVERLORD
Why do you believe it to be a misjudgment?
[16:56] DEMON OVERLORD
Tell me.
[16:57] UCHIMURA
Yes, sir.
[16:58] UCHIMURA
I was aware of how self-centered
and moody the Rampage King is,
[17:03] UCHIMURA
and how the amount of Rosemarin
ordered was not normal.
[17:06] UCHIMURA
And yet, I was feeling so good about
how successful the negotiations went,
[17:10] UCHIMURA
I failed to consider any risks involved
and take preventative actions.
[17:14] UCHIMURA
As a result... the army
suffered heavy losses
[17:17] UCHIMURA
and lost a means to acquire
gold for national expansion.
[17:22] UCHIMURA
I take full responsibility!
[17:24] UCHIMURA
My sincerest apologies!
[17:27] UCHIMURA
I will accept however you
choose to dispose of me!
[17:31] DEMON OVERLORD
One person is not capable of everything.
[17:34] DEMON OVERLORD
No matter how well you strategize,
when you fail, you fail.
[17:40] DEMON OVERLORD
We cannot manipulate fate.
[17:45] DEMON OVERLORD
However, Uchimura.
[17:46] DEMON OVERLORD
What's important is what you
do after you've failed.
[17:51] DEMON OVERLORD
Do you turn a blind eye to your mistakes?
[17:54] DEMON OVERLORD
Or will you accept your
mistakes and learn from them?
[17:59] DEMON OVERLORD
Uchimura, do not be ashamed
of your failures!
[18:02] DEMON OVERLORD
Blame yourself for doing
nothing after such failures!
[18:06] UCHIMURA
Yes, sir!
[18:11] UCHIMURA
First, I must go apologize
to the military leaders.
[18:14] UCHIMURA
No, if I don't present a solid plan,
it won't relieve the wariness.
[18:19] GNOME
Well, you seem to be in good spirits.
[18:21] UCHIMURA
Ms. Gnome?
[18:22] UCHIMURA
I-I'm terribly sorry for all
the trouble I've caused!
[18:25] GNOME
Oh, whatever. It's fine. See you later.
[18:31] UCHIMURA
Huh?
[18:38] UCHIMURA
Pardon my intrusion.
[18:42] UCHIMURA
Um, I wanted to...
[18:43] SYLPHID
Lately, I haven't been able to read a
spell book that caught my attention.
[18:47] UCHIMURA

[18:48] SYLPHID
Since the orders stopped, I can
finally read it, so go on.
[18:51] SYLPHID

[19:02] UCHIMURA

[19:05] UCHIMURA
Who is it?!
[19:05] UCHIMURA
Let go of me!
[19:06] UCHIMURA
Someone, someone!
[19:08] UCHIMURA{M}
Is this someone's revenge for all the
damage I've caused in this case?
[19:16] UCHIMURA
H-Hey... what is... going on with this?
[19:27] UCHIMURA
I am terribly sorry!
[19:28] UCHIMURA
I am responsible for the failure...
[19:31] ULMANDRA
What are you talking about?
[19:32] UCHIMURA
Huh?... Something smells good.
[19:43] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra?!
[19:44] ULMANDRA
I got my hands on good meat!
[19:46] ULMANDRA
How about a meal?
[19:48] ULMANDRA
Come on, sit right there!
[19:49] UCHIMURA
Oh?
[19:51] ULMANDRA
I'm trying to do it the way you
taught me, but it's really tough.
[19:55] ULMANDRA
This whole slow roasting
thing isn't meant for me.
[19:58] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra, could it be that
you're trying to cheer me up?
[20:02] ULMANDRA
What?!
[20:02] ULMANDRA
No... Well, I guess you're not wrong.
[20:05] ULMANDRA
Well, you know, I'm indebted to you and...
[20:09] UCHIMURA
Thank you very much.
[20:11] ULMANDRA {M}
Isn't this what they call
"setting the mood"?!
[20:15] ULMANDRA
H-Hey, Uchimura. Is it
okay if I sit closer?
[20:18] UCHIMURA
Hm? I don't mind?
[20:25] OLULU
There you are!
[20:26] OLULU
Mr. Uchimura!
[20:27] ULMANDRA
H-Hey now!
[20:28] UCHIMURA

[20:30] UCHIMURA
Did something happen?
[20:31] OLULU
Oh, no. This isn't work-related. Just wanted
to ask if you wanted some fruit.
[20:35] OLULU
Oh... Oh.
[20:37] ULMANDRA
Ah! Come on! The meat is about to be done!
[20:54] UCHIMURA
Thank you. Ms. Ulmandra.
[20:57] UCHIMURA

[20:59] UCHIMURA

Ms. Gnome, too...
[21:02] UCHIMURA
I'm happy to have good

The goods are equivalent.
[21:35] RAMPAGE KING
They're half the price.
[21:37] RAMPAGE KING
If so, the switch is inevitable.
[21:40] RAMPAGE KING
You're sly, Butagalian.
[21:43] BUTAGALIAN
Nonsense. Nonsense. Nonsense...

desires, we prepare it immediately.

SIGN Episode 7:
Conditions to Become a First-class Merchant
[03:30] UCHIMURA
This is terrible...
[03:31] ULMANDRA
There's no mistaking it. This
damage was caused by magical beasts.
[03:34] VILLAGER A
And here I was feeling relieved, hearing
the Demon Army's got us covered.
[03:38] VILLAGER B
You installed these devices yourself at
our village, didn't you, Mr. Uchimura?
[03:43] VILLAGER B
What's going on?
[03:45] HEAD VILLAGER
If this keeps up,
our food supply won't last...
[03:52] ULMANDRA
We've received complaints, not only from
this village but throughout the country.
[03:55] ULMANDRA
Because of that, I've been having
to run all over the place.
[04:00] UCHIMURA
It's gone?!
[04:01] ULMANDRA
Hey, the Rosemarin is missing!
[04:03] UCHIMURA
Could it be?!
[04:04] UCHIMURA
Let's check the other device locations.
[04:23] UCHIMURA
There's no mistaking it.
[04:25] UCHIMURA
The Rosemarin we gave to that
village were all gone.
[04:28] OLULU
It's obvious why it didn't work.
[04:30] ULMANDRA
What do we do?
[04:32] ULMANDRA
Do you want to check out
the other villages, too?
[04:36] UCHIMURA {M}
If it's a villager stealing
and reselling it,
[04:38] UCHIMURA {M}
they would have left at least
a few to keep the beasts away.
[04:42] UCHIMURA {M}
Which means, the only other
possibility would be...
[04:45] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra, Olulu,
[04:47] UCHIMURA
please tell me all the locations and
dates of the village complaints.
[04:55] ULMANDRA
Hey! Uchimura, wait up!
[04:57] ULMANDRA
I was wondering what's up since
you came out here in a hurry,
[05:00] ULMANDRA
but there's no use coming to a village
that didn't file a complaint.
[05:03] UCHIMURA
Shh, we won't be spotted here.
[05:09] ULMANDRA{M}
W-What's he up to?
[05:11] ULMANDRA{M}
No, this is Uchimura we're talking about.
[05:13] ULMANDRA{M}
I'm sure it's about work anyway...
[05:15] ULMANDRA
W-Why do you always say
things that lead me on?
[05:18] UCHIMURA
Shh.
[05:20] UCHIMURA
Stay still like this for a moment...
[05:22] ULMANDRA
Uh... um...
[05:24] ULMANDRA{M}
Olulu, tonight I'm going
to become a real woman...
[05:29] ULMANDRA
Huh?
[05:39] DEMON 1 / DANNY
Huh?!
[05:43] UCHIMURA
Just as I had suspected, thieves.
[05:46] UCHIMURA
You steal the
domestically-distributed Rosemarin
[05:48] UCHIMURA
and sell them to the Rampage Kingdom.
[05:51] UCHIMURA
This way the capital is free. You could
make it as cheap as you want, right?
[05:55] UCHIMURA
And? Who's behind all this?
[05:57] DANNY
As if we'd tell you!
[05:59] DANNY
Die!
[06:11] ULMANDRA
Yeah!
[06:12] ULMANDRA
Of course, I knew it!
[06:14] ULMANDRA
It's my fault for...
[06:16] ULMANDRA
making that assumption!
[06:19] DEMON1
Tch!
[06:20] DEMON1
Retreat! Retreat!
[06:25] ULMANDRA
As if I'd let you get away!
[06:26] UCHIMURA
No, there's no need to go after them.
[06:28] ULMANDRA
What?!
[06:29] UCHIMURA
The "bomb" has been planted.
[06:36] BUTAGALIAN
Here is your requested additional order.
[06:40] RAMPAGE
Is it now...
[06:41] RAMPAGE
You're delivering at a steady pace.
[06:44] RAMPAGE
You've not only invented a product equivalent
to that of the Demon Army's classified item,
[06:49] RAMPAGE
but you've managed to mass produce it.
[06:51] RAMPAGE
You certainly are an excellent
merchant, Butagalian.
[06:55] BUTAGALIAN
No, no, no, no.
[06:57] BUTAGALIAN
It is the merchant's job to provide
a product that the customer wants,
[07:02] BUTAGALIAN
when he wants it, and in the desired amount.
[07:05] BUTAGALIAN
We do so... by any means necessary.
[07:13] BUTAGALIAN {N}
The great merchant, Butagalian.
[07:15] BUTAGALIAN {N}
I'm known by two titles...
[07:18] BUTAGALIAN {N}
One is "The Prophet."
[07:20] BUTAGALIAN {N}
The other is "The Merchant of Death."
[07:23] BUTAGALIAN {N}
What should one do to become
ridiculously wealthy?
[07:26] BUTAGALIAN {N}
The answer is simple.
[07:28] BUTAGALIAN {N}
Buy low and sell high.
[07:30] BUTAGALIAN {N}
Those are the basics for running a business.
[07:33] BUTAGALIAN {N}
Therefore, merchants are always
looking for good deals.
[07:40] BUTAGALIAN {N}
You're too late, you second-class fools.
[07:43] BUTAGALIAN {N}
A product becomes worthless
the moment there are rumors about it.
[07:47] BUTAGALIAN {N}
A true merchant buys a product
before anyone notices
[07:50] BUTAGALIAN {N}
or knows about it and
sells it for a massive profit.
[07:54] BUTAGALIAN {N}
Just like a prophet.
[07:57] BUTAGALIAN {N}
When I heard the Demon Army contacted
the Rampage Kingdom, it dawned on me.
[08:03] BUTAGALIAN {N}
Though a small country, the chief,
the Demon Overlord is a shrewd man.
[08:07] BUTAGALIAN {N}
If he's making a move, it must mean
there's an opportunity to cash in big.
[08:12] BUTAGALIAN {N}
Still, this product certainly
took me by surprise.
[08:15] BUTAGALIAN {N}
It meets the demands
of the Rampage Kingdom
[08:17] BUTAGALIAN {N}
and can transported with ease
and traded at a high price...
[08:21] BUTAGALIAN {N}
It's rare to find a product this good.
[08:24] BUTAGALIAN {N}
I immediately tried to have it replicated,
but I was told it would be too difficult to make.
[08:29] BUTAGALIAN {N}
A normal man would have given up there.
[08:33] BUTAGALIAN {N}
However, I am a merchant.
[08:35] BUTAGALIAN {N}
It's a merchant's job to trade goods.
[08:38] BUTAGALIAN {N}
There's no reason to have
to supply it yourself.
[08:41] BUTAGALIAN {N}
If you can't make it, you
just have to steal it.
[08:46] BUTAGALIAN {N}
Dear trader of the Demon Army.
[08:49] BUTAGALIAN {N}
Supposedly, you are the finest.
[08:51] BUTAGALIAN {N}
But, what now?
[08:53] BUTAGALIAN {N}
Just by swiping the fruits of
your labor, I'm making a fortune.
[08:57] BUTAGALIAN {N}
If you were to learn of this, you'd
probably call me a coward.
[09:02] BUTAGALIAN {N}
You fool.
[09:03] BUTAGALIAN {N}
If you did so, you'd misunderstand
the true essence of business.
[09:06] BUTAGALIAN {N}
There's no right or wrong in business.
[09:19] BUTAGALIAN
What?!
[09:19] SOLDIER A
Merchant of Death, Butagalian.
[09:22] SOLDIER A
By the orders of the king,
you are under arrest.
[09:25] BUTAGALIAN
Huh?
[09:28] SOLDIER A
We have captured him.
[09:29] RAMPAGE KING
Good work.
[09:32] BUTAGALIAN
M-My lord! What is the meaning of this?
[09:35] BUTAGALIAN
There must be a misunderstanding...
[09:37] RAMPAGE KING
Look here.
[09:38] BUTAGALIAN
What?!
[09:39] RAMPAGE KING
The stones you've recently brought
have all been like this.
[09:43] RAMPAGE KING
What is the meaning of this, Butagalian?
[09:46] BUTAGALIAN
I-It must be some kind of mishandling!
[09:48] BUTAGALIAN
I would never dare to hand you
an item such as that, my king.
[09:56] RAMPAGE KING
I demand to know the meaning of this.
[10:00] RAMPAGE KING
What's the purpose of handing
me this trash, Butagalian?
[10:06] BUTAGALIAN {N}
What... What in the world is happening?
[10:09] BUTAGALIAN {N}
All I did was steal the
stones and sell them to him!
[10:12] BUTAGALIAN {N}
The stones should be real!
[10:14] BUTAGALIAN {N}
So, why are there defective ones...?!
[10:16] BUTAGALIAN {N}
Did I walk into a trap? Me?
[10:20] RAMPAGE KING
Hmph. Apparently he
will answer my question.
[10:24] BUTAGALIAN
W-What...
[10:31] UCHIMURA
A pleasure to meet you.
I am Dennosuke Uchimura.
[10:41] BUTAGALIAN {M}
This is Dennosuke Uchimura...
[10:45] BUTAGALIAN {M}
The talented human who suddenly became
one of the Demon Army's Big Four
[10:49] BUTAGALIAN {M}
and has numerous achievements
under his belt!
[10:51] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I've heard of his power to single-handedly
subjugate rabid beasts,
[10:55] BUTAGALIAN {M}
such as the minotaur and ogre chiefs.
[10:59] BUTAGALIAN {M}
The most dangerous man in the Demon Army...
[11:02] BUTAGALIAN {M}
That is who this Dennosuke Uchimura is!
[11:05] BUTAGALIAN {M}
To think this man was
involved in this case...
[11:09] UCHIMURA
As you're aware, the Demon Army is currently
producing a new type of magic item.
[11:14] UCHIMURA
The magic item Rosemarin is a new
technology that keeps monsters away.
[11:20] UCHIMURA
However, recently, there have been
numerous cases of theft.
[11:25] UCHIMURA
In order to protect the army's new
technology and secure our citizens' safety,
[11:31] UCHIMURA
we couldn't overlook this and
allow any more to suffer.
[11:34] UCHIMURA
That's where... we used this.
[11:36] UCHIMURA
A dummy device.
[11:37] UCHIMURA
At first glance, it looks very
similar to the Rosemarin,
[11:39] UCHIMURA
but it's just a normal stone
that holds no power.
[11:43] RAMPAGE KING
Hmph... You replicated it well.
[11:45] RAMPAGE KING
Even I couldn't tell the difference.
[11:47] UCHIMURA
Yes, well...

By tonight?!
[11:51] (Flashback) SYLPHID
You know... It takes a certain set
of skills to make a realistic fake!
[11:55] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
That's exactly why I need
your help, Ms. Sylphid!
[12:00] (Flashback) SYLPHID
The cake from the boulevard.
[12:02] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Huh?
[12:03] (Flashback) SYLPHID
Mental work requires sugar!
[12:06] (Flashback) SYLPHID
Go buy it right now!
[12:07] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Y-Yes, ma'am!
[12:09] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Oh, we need a few real Rosemarins
to defend the village, too...
[12:13] (Flashback) SYLPHID
Just take those from storage!
[12:15] UCHIMURA
First, based on where the
villages with complaints are,
[12:18] UCHIMURA
we identified which would
most likely be targeted next.
[12:21] UCHIMURA
After we confirmed the theft,
with the help of our army,
[12:26] UCHIMURA
we set up a few dummies
in every village at once.
[12:31] UCHIMURA
Because of this measure, the number of
thefts has drastically decreased.
[12:36] UCHIMURA
Now tell me... why do you have
these dummies, Mr. Butagalian?
[12:42] BUTAGALIAN {M}
He got me... I completely
fell into his trap!
[12:45] BUTAGALIAN {M}
He purposely chose this moment to expose me.
[12:48] BUTAGALIAN {M}
This was all planned out.
[12:50] BUTAGALIAN {M}
And in front of the king, nonetheless,
so there's no escape.
[12:55] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I'm finished.
[12:56] BUTAGALIAN {M}
There's nothing I can do... However...
[13:00] BUTAGALIAN
My king! This is all a misunderstanding!
[13:02] BUTAGALIAN {M}
Flatter him!
[13:04] BUTAGALIAN
I had no intention of fooling you, my lord!
[13:08] BUTAGALIAN
It's just that our methods had clashed.
[13:11] BUTAGALIAN
I have nothing but sincerity
for you, my king.
[13:14] BUTAGALIAN {M}
The graceless, ridiculous,
and pitiful ugliness I display...
[13:18] BUTAGALIAN
Please! Please forgive me!
[13:18] BUTAGALIAN {M}
So what?
[13:20] BUTAGALIAN
Please forgive me!
[13:22] BUTAGALIAN {M}
No matter how humiliating a
situation I go through,
[13:25] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I can start over as long as I survive!
[13:27] BUTAGALIAN
I will give you anything you
want as my sincerest apology!
[13:30] BUTAGALIAN
If you have any problems, I shall give you
my entire fortune in order to assist you!
[13:34] BUTAGALIAN {M}
No matter how ugly my groveling
looks, I will survive.
[13:37] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I will live.
[13:39] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I will live.
[13:41] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I will live!
[13:44] RAMPAGE KING
The king sentences you to...
[13:46] RAMPAGE KING
death.
[13:59] BUTAGALIAN
Don't! Stay away!
[14:00] BUTAGALIAN {M}
No! No!
[14:02] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I don't want to die yet!
[14:04] BUTAGALIAN {M}
Butagalian can't die!
[14:06] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I can't afford to die!
[14:08] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I will survive! I will
survive! I will survive!
[14:10] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I must survive!
[14:11] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I can't afford to die.
[14:12] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I can't afford to die here!
[14:14] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I can't die. I can't die. I can't die.
[14:15] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I can't die! I can't die!
[14:16] BUTAGALIAN {M}
No!
[14:17] BUTAGALIAN {M}
No, no!
[14:17] BUTAGALIAN {M}
No!
[14:18] BUTAGALIAN {M}
No, no!
[14:19] BUTAGALIAN {M}
No, no, no, no!
[14:21] BUTAGALIAN
My dear children!
[14:33] RAMPAGE KING
What are you doing?
[14:35] RAMPAGE KING
Uchimura.
[14:36] BUTAGALIAN
Why are you...?
[14:39] RAMPAGE KING
Uchimura.
[14:40] RAMPAGE KING
You dare to interfere with
the king's condemnation?
[14:45] RAMPAGE KING
You told me you wanted to expose
Butagalian's evil deeds.
[14:47] RAMPAGE KING
I heeded your plea and even
allowed you to partake,
[14:50] RAMPAGE KING
but I don't recall giving you permission
to interfere with my judgment.
[14:54] RAMPAGE KING
This is an act of interference in
the internal affairs of another country.
[14:59] RAMPAGE KING
I hope you're prepared
for what's to come of it.
[15:01] UCHIMURA
No. The only thing that I interfered
with was the crocodile.
[15:05] UCHIMURA
And I fully intend to give
the king a mouthful!
[15:09] RAMPAGE KING
Such folly.
[15:13] RAMPAGE KING
Well, I am generous to inferior beings.
[15:17] RAMPAGE KING
Very well.
[15:20] RAMPAGE KING
Tell me.
[15:22] BUTAGALIAN {M}
That is not the attitude of
someone who's willing to listen!
[15:25] RAMPAGE KING
Come now, tell me.
[15:27] RAMPAGE KING
Share your thoughts.
[15:29] RAMPAGE KING
If you have the guts to sacrifice
yourself for the sake of this man.
[15:35] UCHIMURA
Sacrifice? You are
mistaken, Your Majesty.
[15:39] UCHIMURA
I share my thoughts here
only for your sake...
[15:43] UCHIMURA
If you lose Mr. Butagalian,
this kingdom will perish.
[15:48] RAMPAGE KING
What?
[15:50] UCHIMURA
It's all for the sake of
this country and its king.
[15:54] UCHIMURA
I couldn't afford to ignore it.
[15:57] RAMPAGE KING
I don't understand.
[15:59] RAMPAGE KING
An entire country perish
because of a single merchant?
[16:03] RAMPAGE KING
There are many merchants who wish
to do business with my country.
[16:06] RAMPAGE KING
He has no special worth.
[16:09] UCHIMURA
Orange powder.
[16:12] UCHIMURA
The Rampage Kingdom is a
country built on gold mining.
[16:15] UCHIMURA
But in recent years, the number of
[16:17] UCHIMURA
ore veins and the amount of mining
done have decreased.
[16:19] UCHIMURA
For that reason,
[16:20] UCHIMURA
it is important to increase the purity of the
metal by efficiently smelting gold from its ore.
[16:24] UCHIMURA
That's where orange powder is essential.
[16:28] UCHIMURA
By adding magic to this special powder,
[16:29] UCHIMURA
the purest form of gold can be
extracted from the gold ore.
[16:33] UCHIMURA
And the person handling said powder
is Mr. Butagalian, is it not?
[16:37] RAMPAGE KING
So what?
[16:39] RAMPAGE KING
If needed, I can leave
it to another merchant.
[16:42] UCHIMURA
No. Only he can obtain it.
[16:45] UCHIMURA
This country's orange powder supply heavily relies
on imports from the distant country of Toki.
[16:51] UCHIMURA
But now, Toki has a restriction
on the exportation of orange powder.
[16:56] UCHIMURA
That powder was among
the causes of a civil war
[16:59] UCHIMURA
over the scarce resources in Toki.
[17:01] UCHIMURA
As such, they are very cautious
of exporting resources.
[17:05] UCHIMURA
The only person who has
permission to do business there
[17:09] UCHIMURA
is Mr. Butagalian.
[17:10] BUTAGALIAN
Why do you know that?
[17:11] UCHIMURA
Oh. Well, I figured if it's possible,
[17:14] UCHIMURA
why don't we just domestically produce
gold? So I looked into it.
[17:18] UCHIMURA
I found out it's impossible, so...
[17:20] UCHIMURA
Mr. Butagalian provided food
[17:24] UCHIMURA
and supplies to countries devastated by war.
[17:28] UCHIMURA
Some call him "The Merchant of Death"
because he would actively trade in conflict zones.
[17:34] UCHIMURA
However, there are countries
that feel indebted to him
[17:36] UCHIMURA
and only allow him to handle
certain resources.
[17:40] UCHIMURA
Toki is one of them.
[17:42] UCHIMURA
Your Majesty.
[17:43] UCHIMURA
It would be a great loss to this country if you
were to kill him, knowing what he is capable of.
[17:54] RAMPAGE KING
I don't understand.
[17:55] RAMPAGE KING
Why are you the one preaching this?
[17:58] RAMPAGE KING
Neither my country's situation nor
Butagalian's has anything to do with you.
[18:02] RAMPAGE KING
Are we not competition to you?
[18:05] BUTAGALIAN {M}
Indeed, the Rampage Kingdom is a rival country to the Demon Army.
[18:09] BUTAGALIAN {M}
I would be considered a problem for them.
[18:12] BUTAGALIAN {M}
So, why?
[18:13] BUTAGALIAN {M}
Why is this man willing to
go this far for others?
[18:17] UCHIMURA
Your Majesty.
[18:18] UCHIMURA
Um...
[18:18] UCHIMURA
I don't understand your question.
[18:20] RAMPAGE KING/BUTAGALIAN
What?
[18:21] UCHIMURA
If there's someone in need, and you're in a
position to help, wouldn't you normally help them?
[18:25] UCHIMURA
Profits and losses aren't the only
ways you think about things, right?
[18:27] UCHIMURA
Doesn't it come naturally to you?
[18:29] UCHIMURA
Huh?
[18:29] UCHIMURA
Is that...
[18:31] UCHIMURA
just me?
[18:40] RAMPAGE KING
Not consider profits and losses?
[18:42] RAMPAGE KING
Come naturally?
[18:43] RAMPAGE KING
What the hell is that?!
[18:46] RAMPAGE KING
You trying to crack me up?
[18:51] RAMPAGE KING
Man, good grief...
[18:54] RAMPAGE KING
Going to sleep.
[18:56] UCHIMURA
What? Um...
[18:57] RAMPAGE KING
I'm sleepy from all the
laughing and fussing.
[19:00] RAMPAGE KING
I'm going to sleep.
[19:01] UCHIMURA
What, u-um, are you okay
with Mr. Butagalian?
[19:04] UCHIMURA
Um...
[19:09] UCHIMURA
Well, for now I'm just
glad we're both safe.
[19:13] BUTAGALIAN
Y-Yeah.
[19:14] BUTAGALIAN {M}
For him to make that Rampage King
laugh his anger away like that...
[19:19] BUTAGALIAN {M}
Is this guy just an idiot?
[19:21] BUTAGALIAN {M}
No, can't be. He must have calculated it.
[19:23] BUTAGALIAN {M}
What is he after?
[19:24] BUTAGALIAN {M}
Is it my assets?
[19:26] BUTAGALIAN {M}
Or are you going to hold this case
against me for future shake downs?

[20:02] DANNY
We were really worried when we heard
they found out about everything!
[20:05] BUTAGALIAN
W-What in the world is...?
[20:07] OLULU
It was Mr. Uchimura who gave the orders
[20:08] OLULU
to bring everyone here.
[20:11] UCHIMURA
Actually,
[20:12] UCHIMURA
I'd previously heard about you.
[20:15] UCHIMURA
I've already researched you.
[20:18] UCHIMURA
I know all about your background and
[20:20] UCHIMURA
that when you were doing
business in the conflict zone,
[20:23] UCHIMURA
you picked up war orphans,
adopted them, and put them to work.
[20:28] DANNY
No, you're wrong!
[20:29] DEMON 1
We worked because we wanted to!
[20:32] OLULU
Yes, we can tell.
[20:34] UCHIMURA
Well, once I knew, there was no way I
could just stand there and let it happen.
[20:38] UCHIMURA
I'm glad you were able to safely
reunite with your children.
[20:40] BUTAGALIAN
But...
[20:42] BUTAGALIAN {M}
Did this man act knowing this, risking
his life to challenge the king?!
[20:47] BUTAGALIAN {M}
He went this far... for
me and my children?
[20:51] BUTAGALIAN {M}
Thank you!
[20:52] BUTAGALIAN {M}
Thank you so much, Mr. Uchimura!
[20:57] BUTAGALIAN
You're entrusting me with
the Rosemarin sales?!
[21:00] UCHIMURA
Yes. I would love to ask you to do it.
[21:02] UCHIMURA
I thought I would feel at ease asking you.
[21:05] BUTAGALIAN
But still! I was the one
who fooled you, you know?!
[21:09] BUTAGALIAN
I can't imagine you trusting
me with an important job like this...
[21:13] UCHIMURA
Well, I would be troubled if you did
what you did with the chimozu, but...
[21:17] UCHIMURA
It's difficult for us to sell things to
distant places because of my duties in the army.
[21:21] UCHIMURA
So, I would like to ask a
reliable merchant to do so.
[21:24] BUTAGALIAN {M}
This man...
[21:26] BUTAGALIAN
For the sake of my children,
[21:28] BUTAGALIAN
it seems the time has come for us to
change the way we do business a little.
[21:32] BUTAGALIAN
I will make sure that
the business succeeds.
[21:35] BUTAGALIAN
I vow to you for trusting me.
[21:38] BUTAGALIAN
I swear on my name.
[21:41] UCHIMURA
I'm counting on you!
[21:46] BUTAGALIAN
Oh, that's right.
[21:48] BUTAGALIAN
There is one thing that I
wanted to mention to you.
[21:50] UCHIMURA
Hm? What is that?
[21:52] BUTAGALIAN
It's something I heard from a
merchant buddy of mine, but...
[21:56] BUTAGALIAN
There seems to be disturbing movement within
the guild in the Demon Overlord's territory.

[00:03] DEMON OVERLORD
You are aware that the price of gim
is on the rise, right, Uchimura?
[00:08] UCHIMURA
Yes.
[00:09] UCHIMURA
It seems the situation has worsened
since the market survey the other day.
[00:13] UCHIMURA
The amount distributed to the
market itself has decreased,
[00:16] UCHIMURA
and even when it's stocked in stores,
[00:18] UCHIMURA
I hear it's not something
a commoner can afford...
[00:21] DEMON OVERLORD
Indeed. The people are starving.
[00:23] DEMON OVERLORD
Solve this problem at once.
[00:26] UCHIMURA
Understood, my lord. Hm...
[00:30] (Flashback) BUTAGALIAN {flashback}
There seems to be disturbing movement within
the guild in the Demon Overlord's territory.
[00:35] UCHIMURA {M}
This is probably due to the
guild controlling the supply.
[00:39] UCHIMURA {M}
But why would they do that?
[00:41] ULMANDRA
I know, Uchimura!
[00:43] ULMANDRA
It's because those guild guys want to
become ridiculously rich, isn't it?!
[00:46] UCHIMURA
What?! I-I suppose so....
[00:49] ULMANDRA
Hmph, leave it to me!
[00:52] ULMANDRA
I'll kick the butts of those unruly bastards!
[00:55] UCHIMURA
Actually, um...
[00:58] DEMON OVERLORD
You may go, Uchimura.
[01:00] UCHIMURA
Huh? Yes, sir. If you'll excuse me.
[01:03] DEMON OVERLORD
As for you, Ulmandra, I
need you to head north.
[01:09] ULMANDRA
Huh? North, sir?
[01:11] UCHIMURA {M}
There aren't many things we

Oh, my apologies, Ms. Belinda.
[03:25] UCHIMURA
Yes, I am heading to the

When are you leaving?
[03:29] SYLPHID
I'll accompany you.
[03:31] UCHIMURA
Why?
[03:33] SYLPHID
Did you know?
[03:35] SYLPHID
Currently, a certain clan of elves
occupy guild officer positions.
[03:39] UCHIMURA
Yes, so it seems.
[03:42] SYLPHID
It'll be easier for you to get through to them
[03:44] SYLPHID
if you're joined by someone with elven blood.
[03:46] SYLPHID
This look is also so that they don't
make a mockery of us demons.

is low these days, isn't it?

groveling for nothing?!
[06:54] UCHIMURA
I don't mind it, if it's to that degree.
[06:57] UCHIMURA
I'll lower my head, but it
does nothing to my pride.
[06:59] UCHIMURA
I'm an elite general.
[07:02] SYLPHID
You've certainly grown a backbone.
[07:04] UCHIMURA
Thank you very much.
[07:06] UCHIMURA
Besides that, I wasn't expecting the guild
master to be your younger brother...
[07:11] SYLPHID
I've mentioned before that I was born
into an elven merchant's family.
[07:16] SYLPHID
That's the Lordpent Family.
[07:18] SYLPHID
Elves have a hard time procreating.
[07:20] SYLPHID
So to increase their number of offspring,
[07:22] SYLPHID
the Lordpent Family had children
with demi-humans for generations.
[07:25] SYLPHID
By the way, I'm half fairy,
and Viper is half naga.
[07:30] SYLPHID
A child born as a result of interbreeding usually
has the characteristics of the other species.
[07:35] SYLPHID
As such, there are those born with
obsessive desires for fame and fortune,
[07:38] SYLPHID
which is unusual for elves,
who are the cornerstone of the clan.
[07:42] SYLPHID
What do you think the fools
in the Lordpent Family
[07:44] SYLPHID
who desire nothing more
than fortune have done?
[07:48] SYLPHID
They burned down the elven village.
[07:51] SYLPHID
And sold their own brethren, who had
no place to go, to traffickers...
[07:56] UCHIMURA
That's terrible...
[07:58] SYLPHID
I was so disgusted with those
scum that I left the house.
[08:03] SYLPHID
I thought I'd never be involved
with them again, but...
[08:07] SYLPHID
I won't allow it.
[08:08] SYLPHID
I'll never let my scumbag
relatives spread such evil.
[08:11] UCHIMURA
I understand how you must feel, but...
[08:13] UCHIMURA
I hoped you wouldn't get into an argument
[08:15] UCHIMURA
before I had a chance to speak with him.
[08:17] SYLPHID
Oh, sorry.
[08:18] SYLPHID
And, what do we do now?
[08:20] SYLPHID
You have no intention of
buying their gim, right?
[08:22] UCHIMURA
Yeah...
[08:24] NEIA
U-Um! Please!
[08:30] NEIA
Please... Please help me.
[08:32] NEIA
Please save me... from
the Lordpent Family!
[08:36] UCHIMURA
Oh... And, you are?
[08:37] NEIA
I am Neia.
[08:39] NEIA
I'm forced to work for the guild.
[08:41] NEIA
I would like to speak to you, Mr.
Uchimura of the Big Four,
[08:44] NEIA
of the evil deeds that the
Lordpent Family has committed!

Um... Mr. Uchimura?
[08:59] UCHIMURA
Hm, all right.
[09:01] UCHIMURA
It's a request from a cute girl!
[09:03] UCHIMURA
I'll help you, Ms. Neia!
[09:04] NEIA
Th-Thank you very much!
[09:07] UCHIMURA
I feel sorry for you dressed like that.
Let's first buy you clothes!
[09:13] NEIA
Aww, really, Mr. Uchimura?
[09:17] UCHIMURA
Oh, you chose those clothes?
[09:19] UCHIMURA
It's very cute.
[09:21] NEIA
Thank you so much! I'll cherish it!
[09:24] SYLPHID {M}
I didn't know... Uchimura
had a lolita complex.
[09:28] SYLPHID {M}
My condolences, Ulmandra.
[09:30] UCHIMURA
What you said earlier...
[09:31] UCHIMURA
Can we safely assume that you
will be a whistleblower?
[09:34] NEIA
Y-Yes. I want to escape
from this horrible life.
[09:38] UCHIMURA
All right.
[09:39] UCHIMURA
I'll be sure to save you!
[09:41] UCHIMURA
Tell us your story!
[09:46] UCHIMURA
I see...
[09:48] UCHIMURA
So you were separated from your parents
and forced to work for the guild master.
[09:54] NEIA
Yes... There are many
people, including myself,
[09:56] NEIA
who are forced to work day and
night for very little pay.
[10:01] UCHIMURA
That is a problem.
[10:02] UCHIMURA
Do you have any other information to share?
[10:05] NEIA
Soon, there will be a calamity, and
we will no longer be able to buy food.
[10:09] UCHIMURA
What?
[10:09] NEIA
There are rumors like that
spreading around town.
[10:12] NEIA
But those rumors are
coming from the guild...
[10:15] NEIA
From Viper Lordpent.
[10:18] UCHIMURA
You mean to tell me he's fearmongering
and raising the price of gim?
[10:21] NEIA
Yes. On top of that, the guild bought
up a lot of the gim in advance.
[10:26] NEIA
They are trying to sell it little by little
to make the most profit out of it.
[10:30] SYLPHID
It sounds like something he would think of.
[10:32] UCHIMURA
Is there anyone else who
disagrees within the guild?
[10:35] NEIA
Most of the officers are Lordpents,
[10:39] NEIA
and everyone else has been bribed.
[10:42] UCHIMURA
I see...
[10:43] UCHIMURA
So the guild, which was originally meant for
merchants to work together on a common goal,
[10:47] UCHIMURA
is now being run by the Lordpent Family
to serve their greedy interests.
[10:52] UCHIMURA
An organization that causes a detriment
to the people must not be overlooked.
[10:56] UCHIMURA
They are subject to a crackdown.
[10:58] NEIA
Then...
[10:59] UCHIMURA
It's that... We need proof.
[11:01] UCHIMURA
No matter how evil, we cannot
act without a good reason.
[11:05] SYLPHID
Are you an idiot?
[11:06] SYLPHID
We should just kill him in the darkness.
[11:08] UCHIMURA
That is one way to handle this.
Though a bit horrifying...
[11:11] UCHIMURA
But I would like to fight
this fair and square.
[11:14] UCHIMURA
Viper Lordpent controls people with money...
[11:17] UCHIMURA
That is considered a merchant's
blade so to speak.
[11:20] UCHIMURA
Then let us draw our swords as well.
[11:23] UCHIMURA
The sword of the Demon Army.
[11:26] UNDERLING A
Guild Master! Lord Viper!
[11:29] VIPER
What's all the ruckus?
[11:30] VIPER
Imma rip out your teeth.
[11:31] UNDERLING A
There's trouble! It's the Demon Army!
[11:43] UCHIMURA
My apologies for the sudden visit
this early in the morning.
[11:46] UCHIMURA
However, this is also a part
of the Demon Army's job.
[11:48] UCHIMURA
We will begin the emergency audit!
[11:56] UCHIMURA {M}
We'll investigate potential
misconduct in the organization.
[11:59] UCHIMURA {M}
If there is any, the sword will be
used to correct those mistakes.
[12:02] UCHIMURA {M}
That is what an audit is!
[12:03] VIPER
An emergency audit?
[12:09] UCHIMURA {M}
He can't refuse it.
[12:11] UCHIMURA {M}
The guild has a responsibility
and duty to accept it.
[12:14] UCHIMURA {M}
There are two things we want to find...
[12:16] UCHIMURA {M}
The actual gim that they're monopolizing
and their transaction books.
[12:21] UCHIMURA {M}
Either one of those would be enough
evidence to expose their monopoly.
[12:24] VIPER
You're already here?!
SIGN Real

[12:25] UCHIMURA {M}
We arrived unannounced to prevent the
guild from covering anything up, but...
[12:32] VIPER
You're insane for coming
this early in the morning.
[12:34] VIPER
Well, do as you please.
[12:38] UNDERLING A
Th-Then perhaps you'd like some tea?
[12:41] SYLPHID
No. Quickly, take us to the warehouse.
[12:43] UNDERLING A
I shall get the person in charge right away.
[12:45] SYLPHID
Then I'll go on my own.
[12:47] SYLPHID
I already know where it is after all.
[12:49] UCHIMURA {M}
A few months ago, at the cat-sith village,
[12:52] UCHIMURA {M}
I received a document stating that
they had sold a large amount of gim to the guild.
[12:56] UCHIMURA {M}
I'm certain other producers
are doing the same thing.
[12:59] UCHIMURA {M}
It would be impossible to hide a large amount of
inventory like that in such a short span of time.
[13:04] UCHIMURA {M}
It's necessary to check
the transaction history,
[13:07] UCHIMURA {M}
but as long as that
pile of gim is here...
[13:12] UCHIMURA {M}
We can confirm the fraud!
[13:21] SYLPHID
Hey! There's nothing here!
[13:24] VIPER
Oh, what's that?
[13:26] VIPER
Couldn't find what you were looking for?
[13:32] UCHIMURA {M}
There are skid marks left behind.
[13:33] UCHIMURA {M}
The gim was here.
[13:35] UCHIMURA {M}
It was probably moved.
[13:37] VIPER
My, my. How could you cause
such a big fuss like this?
[13:41] UCHIMURA {M}
Even though it's early, all the
officers are present and confident.
[13:45] UCHIMURA {M}
Did they know about the emergency
audit and prepare in advance?
[13:48] UCHIMURA {M}
Even so, where could they have
placed the large amount of gim?
[13:52] UCHIMURA
I'm certain you mentioned the other day
that you have a stock of gim on hand.
[13:56] VIPER
Oh, that? I found a buyer, you see.
[13:59] VIPER
So, we don't have any gim at the moment.
[14:01] VIPER
It's just as you see.
[14:03] VIPER
I don't know what you were expecting,
[14:06] VIPER
but what you had planned
is all for nothing.
[14:08] VIPER
How embarrassing.
[14:14] UCHIMURA {M}
Utter defeat.
[14:19] UCHIMURA
He got us good.
[14:20] SYLPHID
The audit was a huge failure.
[14:22] SYLPHID
He even had that snarky look on
his face. The absolute worst.
[14:24] UCHIMURA
On top of the actual gim not being there,
there was nothing suspicious in the ledgers.
[14:29] UCHIMURA
There were no records of
bulk purchases at all.
[14:33] SYLPHID
They may have tampered with the ledgers.
[14:35] UCHIMURA
If they did it this quickly,
[14:36] UCHIMURA
there must be a mistake somewhere.
[14:38] UCHIMURA
Like using a newer paper for part of the
document, or quickly scribbling the letters down.
[14:43] UCHIMURA
There was no evidence of any of that.
[14:46] UCHIMURA
Did they prepare a backup
ledger in advance, or...
[14:51] SYLPHID
How about this?

Oh. Good thought.
[14:59] UCHIMURA

with the actual gim missing.
[15:12] UCHIMURA
Just where and how did they manage to
hide such a large amount of stock?
[15:15] SYLPHID
Who knows? I haven' t got a clue.
[15:18] SYLPHID
Besides... We should be thinking about
another problem right now, don't you think?
[15:24] SYLPHID
Why did they know about
our unannounced audit?
[15:26] SYLPHID
It was supposed to be top-secret,
but they managed to hide the evidence.
[15:31] SYLPHID
They were prepared for our arrival.
[15:33] SYLPHID
A traitor stabbed us in the back.
[15:36] SYLPHID
That's how we ended up like this.
[15:38] SYLPHID
And, it's obvious who that is.
[15:41] SYLPHID
Am I wrong, Uchimura?
[15:44] VIPER
Oh, man.
[15:45] VIPER
That was classic.
[15:46] VIPER
That stupid look on that woman
and Uchimura's face. Priceless.

scared. It hurts my feelings.
[16:34] VIPER
Well, little Neia, you
are one of us after all.
[16:36] VIPER
I'll tell you.
[16:38] VIPER
The gim was placed on a caravan
and is patrolling the frontier.
[16:42] NEIA
A caravan...
[16:44] VIPER
We used to work with horse-drawn
carriages to transport goods.
[16:47] VIPER
Using them to transport
a huge amount of gim is simple.
[16:52] VIPER
It'll come back to the guild
in two to three days.
[16:55] VIPER
And your mom and dad are also helping out.
[17:00] VIPER

with their own business.

of my miserable big sister.
[18:19] (Flashback) VIPER

go on mocking others as you please.
[18:30] NEIA {M}
I gathered as much information
as I could on his sister
[18:32] NEIA {M}
and made every effort to not be like her.
[18:34] NEIA {M}
She had short hair, so I prayed
that mine would grow long.
[18:38] (Flashback) NEIA

continued... Then on that day...

Well, Uchimura does have a
thing for lolitas, but yeah.
[02:38] OLULU
Ms. Ulmandra, quickly show it.
[02:41] ULMANDRA
Oh, right.
[02:43] ULMANDRA
Look!
[02:43] ULMANDRA
This is the masterpiece created overnight
with the cooperation from the Ogre Tribe!
[02:47] ULMANDRA
It's smoked wyvern!
[02:50] NEIA
Huh?
[02:52] UCHIMURA
You're right, it did come out nicely.
[02:54] OLULU
It's made using a secret recipe, smoked
with herbs that compliment it well.
[02:58] ULMANDRA
I heard it has an unorthodox taste,
but I'm telling ya, it's delicious.
[03:02] UCHIMURA
We've already made a large amount.
[03:06] UCHIMURA
Distribute it to various places
to solve the food shortage.
[03:10] UCHIMURA
This is what Operation Dragon Strike is.
[03:13] NEIA
Oh...
[03:14] NEIA
Oh, I see! What a wonderful plan!
[03:18] NEIA
Please allow me to help with it, too!
[03:21] NEIA
How do you plan on distributing it?
[03:23] UCHIMURA
Oh, for that, we—
[03:25] SYLPHID
Wait.
[03:26] SYLPHID
Let's talk about that later.
[03:27] UCHIMURA
Huh? Oh...
[03:30] NEIA
Oh...
[03:32] NEIA {M}
Just as I thought.
[03:33] NEIA {M}
This lady is suspicious of me...
[03:36] NEIA {M}
But, I can't back down now.
[03:44] NEIA {M}
Here it is...
[03:50] SYLPHID
You think I'd let you get away?
[03:52] SYLPHID
Just as I thought, it was you.
[03:55] SYLPHID
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
[03:57] SYLPHID
Fooling people, deceiving them...
[04:00] SYLPHID
At the very least, Uchimura believed in you!
[04:03] NEIA
I don't have to take this from you...
[04:06] NEIA
Everything is your fault!
[04:08] SYLPHID
What?
[04:13] NEIA {M}
Someone like you, who was
born in a privileged home
[04:16] NEIA {M}
and willingly threw it away,
will never understand!
[04:20] VIPER
Oh? A smoked wyvern, huh?
[04:24] NEIA
Yes, it seems the distribution
will start tomorrow.
[04:27] VIPER
I can't imagine it replacing gim, but...
[04:30] VIPER
Even so, I suppose if their stomachs are full,
they won't be buying at a high price anymore.
[04:34] VIPER
What a nuisance...
[04:36] VIPER
And? Where will they start distributing?
[04:39] NEIA {M}
They're planning to
start in the center of town...
[04:42] NEIA {M}
I'm sure the guild master
plans on sabotaging it.
[04:48] NEIA
According to their plans...
[04:49] NEIA
They'll distribute
the food in the suburbs first.
[04:52] NEIA
The center of town will be at a later time.
[04:55] VIPER
Hmph.
[04:57] NEIA {M}
A small lie...
[04:58] NEIA {M}
If I stretch the truth, he'll accept it.
[05:04] NEIA {M}
This is all I can do to resist right now...
[05:10] NEIA {M}
Taste the poisonous fangs of the oppressed!
[05:13] VIPER
Oh?
[05:14] VIPER
They're starting from the suburbs, huh...
[05:17] VIPER
You thought you could
outsmart the guild master?
[05:20] VIPER
You little rat!
[05:22] VIPER
From the suburbs, you say?
[05:24] VIPER
Can't be!
[05:25] VIPER
Considering the cost for transportation,
[05:28] VIPER
starting from the center of
town is the ideal choice.
[05:30] NEIA
P-Perhaps, they're trying to outsmart us?
[05:33] NEIA
Mr. Uchimura would surely...
[05:34] VIPER
Nah.
[05:35] VIPER
Dennosuke Uchimura wouldn't
commit such a folly.
[05:40] VIPER
Not what you were expecting?
[05:42] VIPER
Trust the enemy...
[05:43] VIPER
But, I knew at first glance.
[05:45] VIPER
He may be a softy, but he isn't
the type to act irrationally...
[05:50] VIPER
That's why I trusted him.
[05:52] VIPER
More than you...
[05:54] VIPER
Well...
[05:55] VIPER
If they're starting the
distribution tomorrow,
[05:57] VIPER
there's no need to worry
about it either way.
[06:00] NEIA
What?
[06:01] VIPER
He's expecting us to grow impatient
and sell the gim for cheap, isn't he?
[06:07] VIPER
But too bad.
[06:09] VIPER
Tomorrow morning, the caravan will return.
[06:11] VIPER
When the citizens at the peak of starvation
[06:13] VIPER
see horse-drawn carriages full of
gim to be put out on the market,
[06:16] VIPER
they will surely buy it
even at a high price!
[06:19] VIPER
Then the smoked meat will be handed out
and have absolutely no effect on us.
[06:25] VIPER
All wasted! The plan! The effort!
[06:27] VIPER
Everything will be for nothing!
[06:29] VIPER
I can't stop laughing!
[06:31] VIPER
It was over from the start, regardless
of your underhanded tactics!
[06:39] NEIA {M}
It was all... for nothing...
[06:42] NEIA {M}
I should have just done
what I was told to do...
[06:46] VIPER
Now then, it's punishment time.
[06:48] VIPER
Since you can't be used as a spy anymore...
[06:52] VIPER
I know.
[06:55] VIPER
I'm gonna break you.
[06:57] SYLPHID
You should hold off on
the distribution plans.
[07:00] SYLPHID
By now, Viper should already
know of our plans.
[07:04] SYLPHID
Do you understand?
[07:06] SYLPHID
Neia was a spy all along.
[07:08] UCHIMURA
I knew from the start.
[07:10] SYLPHID
What?
[07:11] UCHIMURA
When we first met her, I saw
a bruise on her chest.
[07:16] SYLPHID
A bruise?
[07:18] UCHIMURA
Then, when I told her to pick out clothes,
she chose some that showed little skin...
[07:24] UCHIMURA
Even though she's a demon.
[07:26] UCHIMURA
So I assume she must
have bruises all over her body.
[07:30] SYLPHID
Oh... You were observing her...
[07:34] SYLPHID
I thought you were just into lolitas.
[07:36] UCHIMURA
What?
[07:37] SYLPHID
N-Never mind. Continue.
[07:41] UCHIMURA
She's being abused by Viper.
[07:45] UCHIMURA
But she didn't tell us that.
[07:49] SYLPHID
But, you couldn't have known
she was a spy just from that.
[07:53] UCHIMURA
You're right.
[07:54] UCHIMURA
What convinced me was...
[07:55] UCHIMURA
Her eyes.
[07:57] SYLPHID
Eyes?
[07:58] UCHIMURA
Yes...
[07:59] UCHIMURA
During my salaryman years...
[08:00] COLLEAGUE MAN A {overlap}
I'll try asking everyone if they
have any other better ideas.
[08:01] UCHIMURA
There were three colleagues
I was very close to.
[08:03] COLLEAGUE WOMAN B
Yeah, good idea.
[08:04] COLLEAGUE MAN C
Yep.
[08:05] COLLEAGUE MAN A
Hey! Uchimura.
[08:05] UCHIMURA
We all worked hard, trying to
change the old-fashioned company.
[08:07] COLLEAGUE MAN A {overlap}
At this rate, we'll be able
to move along quickly.
[08:10] COLLEAGUE MAN C
Nice!
[08:10] UCHIMURA
But...
SIGN m 0 0 l 200 0 200 95 0 95
SIGN Regarding the contract
Were you able to get a contract?
Please send me the report.
You haven't reached your goal for this month
at all.
You weren't able to get a contract last
month either.
I even thoroughly taught you how to do it
and you haven't improved at all.
Out of all the people I've taught, you're the first.
Results are all that matters.
Are you sure you're putting all your effort
into this?
Why can't you do it?
[08:13] UCHIMURA
Power harassment.
[08:15] (Flashback) COLLEAGUE MAN A
I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
[08:15] BOSS {overlap}
A hundred more times.
[08:17] UCHIMURA
Demotion.
[08:20] UCHIMURA
Harassment where they make
you do useless work.
[08:23] UCHIMURA
It piled on one after another
[08:24] UCHIMURA
as the spark in their eyes
[08:27] UCHIMURA
faded away...
[08:28] UCHIMURA
They had the same look
in their eyes as Ms. Neia.
[08:33] UCHIMURA
The kind that tries to read people's faces,
searches for ways to get away when cornered,
[08:36] UCHIMURA
and desperately tries to survive.
[08:40] SYLPHID
That's why...
[08:41] SYLPHID
Even when you thought she was
a spy, you showed her mercy.
[08:44] SYLPHID
A softy, as always.
[08:46] SYLPHID
Well, even if that's fine, how do
you want to handle this situation?
[08:51] UCHIMURA
Yes, our opponent knows of all our plans.
[08:55] UCHIMURA
Then, what's left is...
[08:56] VIPER
A speed competition...
[08:59] VIPER
Is what Mr. Uchimura is probably thinking.
[09:02] VIPER
However, the caravan with
the gim is almost here.
[09:07] VIPER
It can certainly be sold out before
the wyvern is distributed.
[09:12] VIPER
We have the upper hand here.
[09:14] VIPER
I can't wait for tomorrow.
[09:18] VIPER
I want to see the despair
on my big sister's face.
[09:20] VIPER
And besides that...
[09:22] VIPER
there's one more fun thing
to look forward to as well.
[09:33] UNDERLING A
Lord Viper!
[09:35] UNDERLING A
Lord Viper! Please wake up!
[09:38] VIPER
Shut up! What could you
possibly want at this hour?!
[09:40] VIPER
Imma break your neck!
[09:42] UNDERLING A
I-I'm sorry...
[09:43] UNDERLING A
U-Um, the gim is...
[09:45] VIPER
Huh?
[09:46] VIPER
If you're reporting that it's
arrived, then don't bother.
[09:49] VIPER
The sale's already been arranged.
[09:51] UNDERLING A
No, it still hasn't arrived...
[09:53] VIPER
What, it's late? Well, I
guess it can't be helped.
[09:56] VIPER
It'll get here soon.
[09:58] UNDERLING A
Um, it's not about that, sir...
[10:01] UNDERLING A
You see, the Demon Army is distributing...
[10:03] VIPER
Huh?
[10:04] VIPER
Did they start distributing the smoked
wyvern earlier than planned?!
[10:08] UNDERLING A
N-No, sir. The Demon Army isn't distributing
the smoked wyvern, but the gim!
[10:15] VIPER
Wha... What did you say?!
[10:16] OLULU
These are supplies from the Demon Army!
[10:18] OLULU
Please line up!
[10:20] ULMANDRA
You don't have to be hasty!
[10:22] ULMANDRA
There's a lot of it!
[10:25] VIPER
What's going on?
[10:26] VIPER
Why does the Demon Army have so much gim?!
[10:29] SYLPHID
You want to know?
[10:30] VIPER
What?!
[10:35] VIPER
Big Sister...
[10:36] VIPER
Why are you here?
[10:38] SYLPHID
I figured I should tell you, my carefree
half-brother, the situation at hand.
[10:43] SYLPHID
All the gim in the country has
been monopolized by the guild.
[10:47] SYLPHID
So then what do we do?
[10:49] SYLPHID
The answer is simple, don't you think?
[10:51] VIPER
Did you...
[10:52] SYLPHID
We imported it from a
neighboring country...
[10:54] SYLPHID
By asking a merchant who has a
close relationship with Uchimura.
[10:57] SYLPHID
We were then able to
transport large amounts
[11:00] SYLPHID
via cart with cooperation
from a demi-human acquaintance.
[11:03] SYLPHID
It's all thanks to Uchimura's connections.
[11:05] SYLPHID
It allowed us to quickly
prepare large amounts of gim.
[11:08] VIPER
So the thing about the smoked wyvern
was all false information...
[11:11] SYLPHID
Oh, we made the smoked meat.
[11:13] SYLPHID
That neighboring country considers
smoked wyvern a delicacy.
[11:17] SYLPHID
That's why we used it as a bargaining chip.
[11:20] SYLPHID
In other words...
[11:21] SYLPHID
It was a barter trade.
[11:23] SYLPHID
The Demon Army was able to acquire
large amounts of gim without using money.
[11:28] SYLPHID
This is what Operation Dragon Strike is!
[11:32] VIPER
Th-That... That's a bunch of bull!
[11:36] VIPER
There's no way you could import that
much gim in this short amount of time!
[11:39] VIPER
It's a lie!
[11:40] VIPER
You're bluffing!
[11:41] VIPER
Uchimura thinks just like me!
[11:44] VIPER
He must have stolen it from somewhere!
[11:46] VIPER
Isn't that right?! Huh, Big Sister?!
[11:48] SYLPHID
Between you and Uchimura...
[11:50] SYLPHID
he's on a whole different level.
[11:54] SYLPHID
It's impossible to import
that much on short notice.
[11:56] SYLPHID
Absolutely.
[11:57] SYLPHID
That's why... we had it done in advance.
[12:00] SYLPHID
Ever since the day you
requested to meet with us.
[12:03] VIPER
Huh?! Then why did he
want to buy it from me?
[12:07] VIPER
He even lowered his head and groveled!
[12:08] SYLPHID
In order to get our citizens the food
supply they need as soon as possible.
[12:12] SYLPHID
We've been working through that short time
[12:14] SYLPHID
before the import so that
people don't have to wait.
[12:18] SYLPHID
Funny, isn't it?
[12:19] SYLPHID
Because your harassment was
pointless all along...
[12:23] SYLPHID
You were made to dance in Uchimura's hand.
[12:29] SYLPHID
You lose.
[12:31] SYLPHID
The gim is now something
you can get for free.
[12:34] SYLPHID
You invested your own money
into buying that gim, right?
[12:37] SYLPHID
You can't collect from it anymore.
[12:39] SYLPHID
All that's left is bankruptcy.
[12:44] VIPER
Bankruptcy, you say?!
[12:46] VIPER
You think you caught me in your trap?!
You think you tricked me?!
[12:50] VIPER
Idiot!
[12:51] VIPER
It hardly damaged me!
[12:54] SYLPHID
I won't let you escape!
[13:00] SYLPHID
Bodyguards, huh?
[13:02] SYLPHID
Well, I bought us more than enough time.
[13:08] SYLPHID
Tch... They're using a combination of
magic and martial arts.
[13:10] SYLPHID
I guess it can't be helped.
[13:12] SYLPHID
I brought it to hand to
Uchimura just in case, but...
[13:20] SYLPHID
Let's take it for a test drive!
[13:29] SYLPHID
It's a sword that utilizes the
Rosemarin to absorb magical power.
[13:33] SYLPHID
And that absorbed magical
power can be reused!
[13:39] SYLPHID
There's a slight damping in the power.
[13:41] SYLPHID
I'll work on that next.
[13:43] SYLPHID
Well, still...
[13:52] SYLPHID
It's a needless weapon for me.
[13:55] VIPER {M}
Damn it!
[13:57] VIPER {M}
This is certainly a huge loss...
[13:58] VIPER {M}
But I am the guild master.
[14:01] VIPER {M}
As long as I have this position, I can
attempt it again as much as I want!
[14:04] VIPER {M}
The public easily heats up and cools down.
[14:07] VIPER {M}
I just have to lie low until
things settle down, then...
[14:10] VIPER
I will rise once again!
[14:14] VIPER
Huh?!
[14:20] VIPER {M}
Uchimura?!
[14:21] VIPER {M}
And the merchants?
[14:23] UCHIMURA
Ah, Mr. Viper.
[14:25] UCHIMURA
We just finished the vote.
[14:28] VIPER
Vote?
[14:29] UCHIMURA
As of this very moment...
[14:32] UCHIMURA
You are no longer the guild master.
[14:34] VIPER
What?! What are you talking about?!
[14:36] UCHIMURA
The majority of the merchants in the guild
have voted in favor of your dismissal.
[14:43] UCHIMURA
Including the officers, all members of
the Lordpent Family will be exiled.
[14:48] UCHIMURA
Here. Here are the results of the vote.
[14:53] VIPER
Stop messing around!
[14:54] VIPER
There's no way I can accept this!
[14:56] VIPER
Who was it?! Who voted for my dismissal?!
[14:59] VIPER
I'll know right away since
your names are on the ballots!
[15:03] VIPER
I'll make you—
[15:04] UCHIMURA
Don't you understand?
[15:05] VIPER
Huh?!
[15:06] UCHIMURA
Everyone decided to vote despite the risk...
[15:14] UCHIMURA
After hearing what she had to say.
[15:16] VIPER
What...
[15:22] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Ms. Neia!
[15:24] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
So this is where you are.
[15:25] (Flashback) NEIA
Mr... Uchimura?
[15:30] (Flashback) NEIA
Thank you... so much...
[15:33] (Flashback) NEIA
Um, Mr. Uchimura—
[15:35] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
There isn't much time.
[15:36] (Flashback) NEIA
What?
[15:37] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Outside, I've gathered the guild merchants.
[15:41] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Do you understand what I'm
asking of you, Ms. Neia?
[15:44] (Flashback) NEIA
Oh...
[15:45] (Flashback) NEIA
Yes, please take me to them.
[15:55] (Flashback) NEIA
These are all the injuries I've gotten
from him... Viper Lordpent.
[16:00] (Flashback) NEIA
He's wounded my body and my mind.
[16:04] (Flashback) NEIA
And at this rate... he'll hurt the guild
and this country, just as he did to me.
[16:12] (Flashback) NEIA
Please!
[16:13] (Flashback) NEIA
Please help us!
[16:15] (Flashback) NEIA
We need to take back this
guild from him, from them!
[16:21] (Flashback) MERCHANTS
Yeah!
[16:23] VIPER
Stop spewing nonsense!
[16:25] VIPER
Merchants only act to benefit themselves!
[16:28] VIPER
They don't act on sympathy!
[16:30] UCHIMURA
But it's the truth.
[16:31] UCHIMURA
If they're driven by self-interest, it's only
natural that they act on their conscience, too.
[16:36] VIPER
Neia! You understand where
you stand, don't you?!
[16:39] VIPER
You know what'll happen
to your parents...
[16:41] NEIA
Shut up!
[16:41] VIPER
Huh?
[16:42] NEIA
I'm not going to obey you anymore!
[16:45] NEIA
I'll protect my father and mother!
[16:49] UCHIMURA
You're no longer welcome to
do business in our country.
[16:53] UCHIMURA
You're the one who doesn't understand
where you stand, Mr. Viper!
[17:01] VIPER
Please... Mr. Uchimura.
[17:03] VIPER
Surely, you understand, don't you?
[17:05] VIPER
I took a risk, planted a seed,
and it bore fruit.
[17:09] VIPER
That's all. Please don't
take it away from me.
[17:12] VIPER
You and I are alike. Our
thoughts. Our circumstances.
[17:15] VIPER
I don't mind working under you for free!
[17:18] VIPER
So please...
[17:19] VIPER {M}
This guy is a softy...
[17:20] VIPER {M}
I heard he forgave that Butagalian
despite his wrongdoings.
[17:25] VIPER {M}
Just have to pull at his heartstrings.
[17:27] VIPER
Please!
[17:28] VIPER
Let me atone for my sins, Mr. Uchimura!
[17:33] UCHIMURA
You beg for atonement,
but I hear hints of self-pity.
[17:38] UCHIMURA
How do you plan on atoning
with all that arrogance?
[17:42] UCHIMURA
You've hurt many people.
[17:44] UCHIMURA
A sin for a sin.
[17:46] UCHIMURA
As one of the Four Elite Generals,
I will detain you.
[17:49] VIPER
You commoner!
[17:51] VIPER
Getting all uppity just
because I humbled myself!
[17:53] VIPER
I'm different from you people!
[17:55] VIPER
I risked everything for this position!
[17:57] VIPER
I'll never give it up!
[17:59] VIPER
If only you weren't here...
[18:02] VIPER
Uchimura!
[18:09] SYLPHID
Hm, works perfectly as
a normal sword as well.
[18:11] SYLPHID
Go me.
[18:13] SYLPHID
I told you.
[18:15] SYLPHID
Between Uchimura and you, he's
on a whole different level.
[18:18] SYLPHID
You lose, Viper.
[18:24] UCHIMURA
After further investigation,
you will be judged.
[18:28] VIPER
You think you've won?
[18:31] VIPER
It's true that I incited those fools
into raising the price of the gim.
[18:35] VIPER
Still, I didn't lie about it!
[18:37] UCHIMURA
What?
[18:40] VIPER
Everything is going to end!
[18:42] VIPER
Oh, it's coming to this country as well!
[18:44] VIPER
The calamity!
[18:48] SYLPHID
Take him away.
[18:49] SOLDIER
Yes, ma'am!
[18:50] VIPER
It's the end! The end!
[18:52] UCHIMURA {M}
The calamity... is coming...?
[18:54] NEIA
Um... Mr. Uchimura.
[18:56] NEIA
I'm truly sorry for betraying your trust.
[18:59] NEIA
Please, give me my punishment.
[19:05] UCHIMURA
In that case, will you come to the
castle with us right now?
[19:11] NEIA
Huh?
[19:12] NEIA
Me, be a secretary?
[19:14] UCHIMURA
Yes. I'd like you to come work for me.
[19:17] NEIA
But, I was a spy, and...
[19:19] UCHIMURA
You'll atone for your sins by working.
[19:21] UCHIMURA
You're more useful to us
working than locked up.
[19:25] NEIA
But...
[19:26] UCHIMURA
...Is just an excuse.
[19:28] UCHIMURA
In actuality, I made a deal.
[19:30] NEIA
A deal?
[19:31] UCHIMURA
The guild's gim was supposed to return
early this morning, but it arrived late.
[19:36] UCHIMURA
The lead carriage overturning was
the cause of the delay.
[19:39] UCHIMURA
That sealed our victory.
[19:43] UCHIMURA
The one in charge of the
carriage... was your father.
[19:47] NEIA
What?
[19:48] UCHIMURA
Your father betrayed the
Lordpent Family for you.
[19:52] UCHIMURA
And in exchange for cooperating
with the investigation,
[19:56] UCHIMURA
he asked that we take you into our custody.
[19:58] NEIA
And that's why I'll be your secretary?
[20:00] UCHIMURA
The guild will now have to
be rebuilt from the ground up.
[20:05] UCHIMURA
A lot of things will need to be done.
[20:07] UCHIMURA
And I'd like to have as many
talented individuals as possible.
[20:10] UCHIMURA
You'll accept the position, won't you?
[20:13] NEIA
Yes... Thank you so much, Mr. Uchimura!
[20:17] UCHIMURA
Come in.
[20:18] OLULU
Excuse my interruption.
[20:21] OLULU
It's about the schedule for
the guild investigation...
[20:23] UCHIMURA
Olulu, perfect timing.
[20:26] UCHIMURA
Let me introduce you.
[20:27] UCHIMURA
This is Neia, our new secretary.
[20:29] OLULU
Oh, we meet again!
[20:31] OLULU
Once again, I am Olulu.
[20:34] NEIA
So cool...
[20:36] NEIA
I look forward to working
with you, Big Sister!
[20:39] OLULU
Big Sister?!
[20:40] NEIA
What should I do?
[20:42] NEIA
Please tell me anything!
[20:44] OLULU
Um, then, first I'll show
you around the castle,
[20:46] OLULU
so please try to remember
the different things.
[20:49] NEIA
Yes, ma'am!
[20:58] MASTER
You seem like you're in a good mood today.
[21:01] UCHIMURA
Yes... It's really nice to see someone
regain the sparkle in their eyes.
[21:07] COLLEAGUE MAN C
Hey, well if it isn't
Uchimura! Long time no see!
[21:10] COLLEAGUE WOMAN B
You should come drink with us over here!
[21:13] UCHIMURA
Yeah.
[21:15] COLLEAGUE WOMAN B
Listen to this, Uchimura.
[21:16] COLLEAGUE WOMAN B
I started my own business.
[21:17] COLLEAGUE WOMAN B
But it's a small company.
[21:19] COLLEAGUE MAN A
I took over my parents' business.
[21:21] COLLEAGUE MAN A
There's more to agriculture
than you'd think.
[21:23] COLLEAGUE MAN C
I'm still at the company.
[21:25] COLLEAGUE MAN C
I stayed persistent.
[21:27] COLLEAGUE MAN C
Now, I'm in a position where
I can state an opinion or two.
[21:29] UCHIMURA
Is that right?
[21:30] COLLEAGUE MAN A
And? What are you doing, Uchimura?
[21:33] UCHIMURA
I...
[21:36] UCHIMURA
have a very rewarding job.
[21:38] NEIA
Mr. Uchimura... Mr. Uchimura!
[21:41] UCHIMURA
Oh...
[21:42] NEIA
It seems that there is an urgent summons
from the Demon Overlord.
[21:45] OLULU
It looks like it's an emergency.
[21:48] UCHIMURA
What...
[21:51] DEMON OVERLORD
It's finally about to come...
[21:55] DEMON OVERLORD
The calamity.
SIGN Shirube Nai Tabi / Ryuun Nagai

Hm... the light of the red lantern.

[00:01] DEMON OVERLORD
It's finally about to arrive...
[00:04] DEMON OVERLORD
The calamity.
[00:08] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra.
[00:09] UCHIMURA
What is the emergency situation?
[00:13] ULMANDRA
Do you remember the incident up north
involving a large group of wyverns?
[00:22] ULMANDRA
The number of wyverns
has continued to increase,
[00:24] ULMANDRA
affecting even the urban areas.
[00:25] ULMANDRA
They're invading and damaging the area.
[00:28] ULMANDRA
The Demon Overlord has declared
this to be the calamity.
[00:30] ULMANDRA
The entire army has been
ordered to deal with it.
[00:34] UCHIMURA
The calamity...
[00:36] UCHIMURA {M}
That man also mentioned
something like that...
[00:39] UCHIMURA
Is that about the massive wyvern outbreak?
[00:46] ULMANDRA
Calamities naturally occur.
[00:48] ULMANDRA
They're just like natural disasters.
[00:50] ULMANDRA
The only difference is that they manifest
as beasts or monsters.
[00:55] ULMANDRA
They're disasters with a tangible form.
[00:56] UCHIMURA
Disasters with a tangible form....
[01:01] ULMANDRA
This is my first time
experiencing this, too,
[01:04] ULMANDRA
but the past calamities seem
to have all been tragic.
[01:06] ULMANDRA
One time, a whole country disappeared.
[01:09] ULMANDRA
That's why we, the Big Four, have
been given special orders as well.
[01:13] ULMANDRA
Sylphid is to travel to various locations
[01:15] ULMANDRA
to investigate measures against the disaster.
[01:18] ULMANDRA
The rest of us are to prevent and
intercept the wyvern invasion.
[01:22] ULMANDRA
Uchimura, we're heading for the
front line of the disaster defense.
[01:26] ULMANDRA
Are you prepared for this?
[01:31] OLULU
Mr. Uchimura, Ms. Ulmandra!
[01:34] ULMANDRA
I can see it now.
[01:36] UCHIMURA
That's...
[01:38] ULMANDRA
It's the largest fortress of the
Demon Army, the Demon Fort.
[03:22] OLULU
Mr. Uchimura, the Demon Fort is
composed of three citadels
[03:26] OLULU
built near the border to prevent
the invasion of wyverns, but...

Hm?
[03:37] GNOME
Finally, you're here.
[03:39] GNOME
You kept me waiting for too long.
[03:42] GNOME
Welcome to the Citadel of Despair.
[03:46] UCHIMURA
Ms. Gnome!
[03:48] ULMANDRA
Tch.
[03:49] GNOME
I heard about the guild incident.
[03:51] GNOME
You've done really well.
[03:53] GNOME
Everyone is saying that you're the savior
who overturned despair and brought them hope...
[03:59] GNOME
You're going to do something
about this one, too, right?
[04:01] GNOME
Uchimura, our hero.
[04:02] UCHIMURA
N-No, I'm no hero—
[04:04] ULMANDRA
That's right, back off!
[04:06] ULMANDRA
Uchimura isn't a hero!
[04:08] ULMANDRA
He's vulnerable, meager, and if you
punch him, he'd instantly die, weak!
[04:11] UCHIMURA
The follow up is a negative campaign?!
[04:12] GNOME
I wasn't asking for your opinion.
[04:14] ULMANDRA
I have no intention of talking
to the likes of you either.
[04:16] UCHIMURA
N-Now, now, you two.
[04:19] GNOME
Shh.
[04:22] DEMI-HUMAN 1
Wyvern attack! Wyvern attack!
[04:25] GNOME
Not again.
[04:26] GNOME
I just told my soldiers to rest...
[04:29] GNOME
Let's intercept them. You guys come, too.
[04:31] GNOME
See if you can assess the situation here.
[04:35] DEMONS AND DEMI-HUMANS
Quickly!
[04:40] LILIM
We, the demons, shall scatter the enemy!
[04:42] URUZU
Demi-human squad, take your positions!
[04:47] URUZU
They're coming.
[04:51] LILIM
Fire!
[05:02] DEMI-HUMAN 2
Move!
[05:04] LILIM
You weak demi-humans have no business here!
[05:06] URUZU
You demons don't either!
Quit disrupting our formation!
[05:10] ULMANDRA
Jeez, you guys are confusing
who the enemy is...
[05:27] ULMANDRA
Behind you!
[05:47] GNOME
Demi-human squad, avoid close
combat and aim for the eyes!
[05:51] ULMANDRA
Demons, lure them in and then strike!
[06:01] ULMANDRA
Demon squad, follow me!
[06:03] ULMANDRA
Finish them off with one strike!
[06:21] OLULU
Quickly, we must treat the wounded!
[06:23] NEIA
Yes, Big Sister!
[06:24] ULMANDRA
Phew... We worked too hard today.
[06:27] ULMANDRA
I can't stand it. I'm starving.
[06:38] UCHIMURA
Ms. Gnome!
[06:39] UCHIMURA
So, this is where you are. It's time to eat.
[06:41] GNOME
I'll eat later.
[06:43] GNOME
Besides, I don't eat as
much as the demons do...
[06:46] GNOME
Still, you...
[06:48] GNOME
You really are useless on the battlefield.
[06:51] UCHIMURA
Well, I am a non-combatant...
[06:53] GNOME
Then we'll have you perform other duties.
[06:56] GNOME
Uchimura, give it to me straight.
[06:59] GNOME
What do you think of this fortress?
[07:01] UCHIMURA
What do I think? Huh...
[07:04] UCHIMURA
If this fortress remains this way...
[07:07] UCHIMURA
It will fall. Possibly in the next few days.
[07:12] GNOME
Could you explain it to me in detail?
[07:14] UCHIMURA
This fortress houses both
demons and demi-humans.
[07:18] UCHIMURA
We're in the midst of a crisis, taking
emergency measures to handle this disaster.
[07:22] UCHIMURA
However, we're going to fall, not
because of an enemy assault,
[07:26] UCHIMURA
but because of the infighting
between the demons and demi-humans.
[07:31] UCHIMURA
There are three reasons.
[07:34] UCHIMURA
The first one is strategy.
[07:36] UCHIMURA
The demons individually
have high combat power
[07:38] UCHIMURA
but struggle with group organized warfare.
[07:41] UCHIMURA
On the other hand, the demi-humans are weaker
[07:43] UCHIMURA
but do well in group organized battles.
[07:46] UCHIMURA
Right now, the two groups have fatally
mismatched battle strategies.
[07:50] UCHIMURA
Each group fails to see
the other's strengths
[07:53] UCHIMURA
and is working against the other.
[07:55] UCHIMURA
And the second is logistics.
SIGN Water
SIGN Bandages
SIGN Communication
SIGN Repair
SIGN Clothes
SIGN Weapons
SIGN Food
[07:57] UCHIMURA
A massive amount of supplies is required
to maintain a military.
[08:00] UCHIMURA
But we currently have insufficient
supplies, especially rations.
[08:05] UCHIMURA
Demons consume much
more food than demi-humans.
[08:09] UCHIMURA
It could be deemed necessary in order for them to
build high physical abilities and to use magic.
[08:14] UCHIMURA
However, because of that, the demi-humans
are becoming more disgruntled.
[08:17] GNOME
Just one thing to add.
[08:19] GNOME
My subordinates are aware that
demons are big eaters.
[08:23] GNOME
However, with the continuous defensive
battles at this fortress,
[08:27] GNOME
more food is being consumed than usual.
[08:30] GNOME
Thus along with the prolonged tension,
[08:33] GNOME
one can become easily agitated
with the slightest things.
[08:36] UCHIMURA
Moving on to the third
and most important reason:
[08:40] UCHIMURA
the feud between the two factions.
[08:42] UCHIMURA
This mentally challenging problem
is the most serious one,
[08:45] UCHIMURA
and one that stemmed from a long-standing
rivalry between the demons and demi-humans.
[08:49] DEMON {overlap}
Wha? It's always you guys!
[08:50] UCHIMURA
There is this big gap between
demons and demi-humans
[08:52] DEMI-HUMANS {overlap}
Jeez, you, too!
[08:53] UCHIMURA
due to their cultural
differences and abilities.
[08:55] UCHIMURA
Here, we're on the battlefield.
[08:57] UCHIMURA
Even if one group can compose themselves,
[08:59] UCHIMURA
when their life is at stake, all the
consideration and hesitation goes out the window.
[09:03] UCHIMURA
It's said that bonds are formed
when you often work together.
[09:07] UCHIMURA
But it's impossible.
[09:08] UCHIMURA
These negative emotions that
have built up over the years
[09:10] UCHIMURA
aren't something that can
be easily dismissed.
[09:13] UCHIMURA
Placing this issue on the back burner
and forming a group tactic is suicidal.
[09:18] UCHIMURA
We are in a very dire situation.
[09:20] UCHIMURA
We may even end up killing each other...
[09:23] UCHIMURA
That is my conclusion.
[09:25] GNOME
Hm... I see. I understand well.
[09:28] GNOME
So then, how would you solve this problem?
[09:32] GNOME
Uchimura, as expected of you.
[09:34] GNOME
Everything was spot on.
[09:35] GNOME
But this is a difficult problem that I've
noticed as well and wasn't able to solve.
[09:40] GNOME
What would you do?
[09:42] GNOME
That's what I want to hear.
[09:44] UCHIMURA {M}
Anyone can point out the problem.
[09:47] UCHIMURA {M}
The difficult part is how to
lead them to a solution.
[09:52] UCHIMURA
A map. Please show me
a map of the fortress.
[09:57] GNOME
This is the surrounding map.
[09:59] UCHIMURA
The roads are well maintained.
[10:02] UCHIMURA
Transporting the supplies should
be easy as long as we have them.
[10:06] UCHIMURA
Hm? What is this area in the back?
[10:09] GNOME
Oh, here? It's an abandoned village.
[10:11] GNOME
It's a poor land, and it's been
abandoned in recent years.
[10:14] UCHIMURA
This can work.
[10:15] GNOME
What?
[10:17] UCHIMURA
A plan to solve all of our problems.
[10:20] UCHIMURA
Anyway, let's go to that abandoned village.
[10:25] UCHIMURA
Take a look at this.
[10:26] UCHIMURA
There are many buildings
that can still be used.
[10:29] GNOME
You're right.
[10:30] GNOME
This can solve everything.
[10:32] GNOME
This is a method we hadn't
thought of before.
[10:35] GNOME
If we execute your plan, we'll
be able to counter the calamity.
[10:40] UCHIMURA
Yes. That's if we can execute it.
[10:43] GNOME
Hm?
[10:44] UCHIMURA
It can't just be empty theories on a desk.
[10:47] UCHIMURA
Demons and demi-humans.
[10:48] UCHIMURA
It's about how to persuade and
move the two opposing groups...
[10:54] GNOME
The demons won't obey me after all.
[10:57] UCHIMURA
We'll have to leave the
demons to Ms. Ulmandra...
[11:00] UCHIMURA
However, there's a risk that it may cause
confusion if the command system is split.
[11:03] GNOME
No problem.
[11:05] GNOME
There's just the right person
for that, isn't there?
[11:07] UCHIMURA
Huh?
[11:09] UCHIMURA
Excuse me?
[11:14] ULMANDRA
Hey. What are you guys planning,
gathering up all the soldiers like this?
[11:18] GNOME
Just watch.
[11:21] GNOME
Listen up!
[11:22] GNOME
Currently, the Demon Fort
is in a critical situation.
[11:27] GNOME
However, there is someone who
shines a light in this adversity.
[11:34] GNOME
Let me introduce you...
[11:36] GNOME
to the hero, Dennosuke Uchimura!
[11:43] SOLDIERS
Uchimura?
[11:44] SOLDIERS
Is he the Mr. Uchimura?
[11:45] SOLDIERS
Mr. Uchimura?
[11:46] SOLDIERS
The strongest of the Big Four,
rumored to be the savior...
[11:50] SOLDIERS
So, the hero was here all along.
[11:50] URUZU
So, he's the...
[11:51] LILIM
Is here...
[11:55] GNOME
Uchimura.
[12:02] DEMONS AND DEMI-HUMANS
Yeah!
[12:10] UCHIMURA {M}
An unintentional cheer?!
[12:12] (Flashback) GNOME
Uchimura, you round up this fortress.
[12:15] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
That's impossible!
[12:16] (Flashback) GNOME
Don't respond right away. Well, listen.
[12:19] (Flashback) GNOME
Sure, there's a big gap between
the demons and demi-humans...
[12:23] (Flashback) GNOME
but you're neither.
[12:26] (Flashback) GNOME
You have the achievements, the recognition,
the topicality, deep knowledge, and insight.
[12:31] (Flashback) GNOME
You're the only one who
can lead these soldiers.
[12:36] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Still.
[12:38] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Won't there be backlash
when a new leader appears?
[12:42] GNOME {M}
Oh, he's starting to get into it.
[12:43] (Flashback) GNOME
Don't worry, don't worry.
[12:45] (Flashback) GNOME
All you need is to look
the part and "produce" it.
[12:51] UCHIMURA {M}
I was sweet-talked into
it, but it's embarrassing!
[12:54] UCHIMURA {M}
Middle school delusions!
[12:55] UCHIMURA {M}
Old scars from my youth!
[12:56] UCHIMURA {M}
But...
[12:59] UCHIMURA {M}
If I must...
[13:01] UCHIMURA {M}
I will fulfill this role!

I am one of the Four Elite Generals,

[13:11] UCHIMURA {M}
My title is embarrassing, too!
[13:13] UCHIMURA
This fortress is in a critical situation!
[13:15] UCHIMURA
The calamity is approaching,
and our defenses are lacking.
[13:18] UCHIMURA
The cause is the feud you have
going on between the two races!
[13:21] UCHIMURA
You're supposed to be cooperating
and fighting as one!
[13:23] UCHIMURA
However, that's impossible.
[13:25] UCHIMURA
The years of infighting!
[13:27] UCHIMURA
The long-standing grudges!
[13:28] UCHIMURA
It's not something that
can easily be resolved!
[13:31] UCHIMURA
Still, right now, a calamity
is attacking our country!
[13:33] UCHIMURA
I want to protect my loved ones!
[13:36] UCHIMURA
I want to save my country!
[13:37] UCHIMURA
If there were no infighting, I could fight!
[13:40] UCHIMURA
This must be what everyone's thinking!
[13:42] DEMON 1
Th-That's right!
[13:43] DEMONS AND DEMI-HUMANS
Yeah!
[13:44] UCHIMURA
Then I shall be the one
to break those shackles!
[13:50] UCHIMURA
With my plan, we could go to
battle without fighting each other!
[13:54] UCHIMURA
Please believe me and fight for me!
[13:56] DEMONS AND DEMI-HUMANS
Yeah!
[13:56] DEMONS AND DEMI-HUMANS
We'll follow you, Hero!
[13:59] DEMONS AND DEMI-HUMANS
Uchimura! Uchimura!
[14:06] UCHIMURA
From this point on, the demi-human and
demon mixed unit will be disbanded!

You will become the "sword" and
"shield" to counter the calamity!

In Operation Sword and Shield,
[15:24] UCHIMURA {M}
the role of the demi-humans
is to create a diversion!

As the shield, they will prevent enemy

As the Sword to strike down the enemy, the
demons will wait at the abandoned village.
[15:42] UCHIMURA {M}
Faster than a swift horse, they can
quickly reach the fortress!

Cease fire!

If it's close combat, they
are no match for us.
[15:53] ULMANDRA
Attack!
[16:01] GNOME
Don't let a single one escape!
[16:10] UCHIMURA {M}
The purpose of this operation is to create a
division of labor between the demons and demi-humans.

The demi-humans, who work well
in organized group warfare.

The demons, who take pride in their
high mobility and offensive power.
[16:21] UCHIMURA {M}
By clearly separating the
roles of both factions,
[16:24] UCHIMURA {M}
it reduces conflict and minimizes the
hassle of coordinating.
[16:27] UCHIMURA {M}
As a result, there's an
increase in combat power!
[16:29] DEMI-HUMAN 1
All wyverns defeated!
[16:31] DEMI-HUMAN 1
No casualties or damage!
No casualties or damage!
[16:34] LILIM
Amazing...
[16:35] URUZU
To think it's to this extent...
[16:36] GNOME
It's like the struggles we've been facing
up until now have been all lies.
[16:39] ULMANDRA
It's all thanks to Uchimura's plan!
[16:44] SOLDIERS
Hip hip hooray!
[17:08] ULMANDRA
He sure managed to think up quite an idea,
making the abandoned village a base for demons.
[17:12] OLULU
According to Mr. Uchimura, it seems there's
more use to the base than just that.
[17:17] NEIA
He mentioned meeting with Ms. Gnome
right now to discuss that matter.
[17:22] ULMANDRA
What?!
[17:24] NEIA
Oh, of course, he also mentioned wanting
you to join them later, Ms. Ulmandra.
[17:28] OLULU
If you don't properly wash up before going,
Mr. Uchimura is going to be disgusted with you.
[17:36] UCHIMURA
Another key point of this operation is
to resolve any dead stock we may have.
[17:40] GNOME
I'm not familiar with the term.
[17:42] UCHIMURA
It refers to
any inventory and unsold goods.
[17:45] UCHIMURA
Here, we're talking about
inefficient resource use.
[17:48] UCHIMURA
Until now, the Demon Army has been supplying
[17:50] UCHIMURA
the same amount of supplies
to each citadel.
[17:52] UCHIMURA
But due to the difference in the
number of battles
[17:55] UCHIMURA
at each location,
this will lead to discrepancies.
[17:57] UCHIMURA
Instead we'll gather
all the supplies at the base,
[17:59] UCHIMURA
then distribute the proper amounts.
[18:01] UCHIMURA
Not only that, since all the demons
are stationed at the base,
[18:04] UCHIMURA
we can monitor their food
consumption closely.
[18:07] UCHIMURA
We can effectively utilize the resources while
preventing conflicts with the demi-humans.
SIGN Sword and Shield
[18:12] UCHIMURA
That's essentially what
Operation Sword and Shield is.
[18:15] GNOME
Impressive, Uchimura.
[18:17] GNOME
No, Hero Dennosuke Uchimura.
[18:20] UCHIMURA
Huh, oh, could you please stop that.
[18:25] ULMANDRA
You guys look like you're having fun.
[18:27] UCHIMURA
Ah! Ms. Ulmandra?
[18:29] GNOME
Hmph...
[18:30] ULMANDRA
Don't get all mushy just because she
praised you a little, Uchimura!
[18:34] UCHIMURA {M}
F-For some reason she's angry?!
[18:35] ULMANDRA
Hmph, well whatever.
[18:37] ULMANDRA
It seems like we're sending home the
soldiers, starting with the women?
[18:40] GNOME
The immediate crisis has passed, so it's
important to rest up whenever you can.
[18:45] GNOME
You have a problem with that?
[18:46] ULMANDRA
Not really.
[18:47] ULMANDRA
I was just told to head back
to the Demon Overlord's castle
[18:50] ULMANDRA
to report on the situation,
so I was just asking.
[18:54] ULMANDRA
Uchimura, a brief farewell for now, but
before that let me give you my thanks.
[18:59] ULMANDRA
You're the one who saved us here.
[19:02] ULMANDRA
Hearing your speech moved me, too.
[19:05] ULMANDRA
You're right. This isn't the time
to be fighting amongst ourselves.
[19:11] GNOME
For once, we agree.
[19:14] NEIA
Everyone, I've brought you some food!
[19:17] OLULU
It's grilled wyvern!
[19:19] ULMANDRA
Oh, it's here. It's here.
[19:21] GNOME
No thanks.
[19:22] ULMANDRA
Aw, come on. Don't hold back.
[19:24] GNOME
W-What...
[19:28] UCHIMURA {M}
The plan certainly is going well.
[19:32] UCHIMURA {M}
So far... But...
[19:35] UCHIMURA
Well, there's no time to be resting.
[19:39] UCHIMURA {M}
This operation still has a fatal weakness.
[19:49] UCHIMURA {M}
Why are the wyvern attacks all
concentrated on a single location?
[19:54] UCHIMURA {M}
If only we knew the answer to that...
[19:56] UCHIMURA {M}
There has to be some kind
of reason why... something.
[20:08] OLULU
Mr. Uchimura!
[20:10] NEIA
There's trouble!
[20:11] UCHIMURA
What?! What happened?!
[20:13] OLULU
W-Well, you see...
[20:16] OLULU
The wyverns simultaneously
attacked two other fortresses!
[20:21] UCHIMURA {M}
Their behavior changed?!
[20:22] UCHIMURA {M}
And when we've
just sent some soldiers home?!
[20:26] NEIA
Many wyverns have invaded the country
[20:27] NEIA
and are headed for the
Demon Overlord's castle.
[20:29] OLULU
Ms. Ulmandra is fighting
against them all by herself!
[20:55] ULMANDRA
All right...
[21:00] ULMANDRA
I'll also show you my full strength!
[21:11] ULMANDRA {M}
Uchimura, you're not a
vulnerable, meager, weakling...
[21:15] ULMANDRA {M}
You're a hero. I'll also...
[21:44] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra!
[21:51] ULMANDRA
Uchimura... How's that...
[21:54] ULMANDRA
I did it... too...

[00:04] NEIA
Mr. Uchimura.
[00:07] UCHIMURA
Is Ms. Ulmandra...?
[00:08] NEIA
There's no need to worry.
[00:10] NEIA
She wasn't severely wounded,
[00:13] NEIA
but she did use up a lot of her magic power.
[00:16] NEIA
She'll need time to recover.
[00:18] UCHIMURA
I see. Thanks...
[00:20] UCHIMURA
Neia, your knowledge in
nursing has really helped us.
[00:24] NEIA
It's nothing.
[00:24] UCHIMURA
If I had known it would
turn out this way,

I wouldn't have sent her home early...

Thank you so much.
[00:41] UCHIMURA
Thanks to you, the Demon
Overlord's castle is safe.
[00:44] UCHIMURA
But we don't know when the
wyverns will attack again.
[00:48] UCHIMURA
Time is limited.
[00:50] UCHIMURA
From here on, it's my job.
[02:31] OLULU
According to the information we
received from Ms. Sylphid,
SIGN Episode 11:
A Battle Without Heroes
[02:34] OLULU
it seems the wyverns are staying near
the lake after attacking the north.
[02:39] OLULU
The Rabito Tribe's village and
Popon Town were attacked...
[02:43] OLULU
And...
[02:44] UCHIMURA
Don't tell me the ogre village, too?!
[02:46] OLULU
Yes.
[02:48] OLULU
Those who were guarding the village were
suddenly attacked and nearly captured...
[02:56] OLULU
Several of my close girl friends were
among the injured soldiers, and...
[03:01] UCHIMURA
That must be concerning.
[03:03] OLULU
Yes.
[03:05] UCHIMURA
Return home for them.
[03:06] OLULU
What?!
[03:07] UCHIMURA
If you leave right now, the chances
of getting attacked are pretty low.
[03:11] UCHIMURA
Of course, we'll make sure that you have
enough guards with you just in case.
[03:14] OLULU
Um... but the wyvern investigations...
[03:17] UCHIMURA
We'll be fine! Leave it to me.
[03:28] UCHIMURA {M}
If we could only predict the
wyvern's behavior,
[03:31] UCHIMURA {M}
we should be able to
sufficiently fight back...
[03:34] UCHIMURA {M}
But can I truly pull that off?
[03:37] UCHIMURA {M}
Ms. Ulmandra and Olulu
are out of the fight.
[03:40] UCHIMURA {M}
Ms. Gnome is defending the fortress...
[03:43] UCHIMURA {M}
Ms. Sylphid is surveying the field.
[03:45] UCHIMURA
I'll just have to manage
it all by myself somehow...
[03:50] UCHIMURA {M}
Ah, it's karma for staying up this long.
[03:53] UCHIMURA {M}
But this isn't the time to be resting.
[03:56] UCHIMURA {M}
Everyone is giving their best!
[03:59] UCHIMURA {M}
I need to get to work, too...
[04:02] UCHIMURA {M}
Even if I were to fall!
[04:10] UCHIMURA
There has to be some sort of logic
behind the wyvern's attacks...
[04:15] UCHIMURA
It can be anything. I just
need a little hint...
[04:18] UCHIMURA
No, nothing is coming to me!

[04:59] UCHIMURA
Is it all right for you to

[05:02] DEMON OVERLORD
What a sight, one of the elite
generals, Dennosuke Uchimura.
[05:08] DEMON OVERLORD
You have lost sight of yourself...
[05:12] UCHIMURA
M-My apologies...
[05:14] DEMON OVERLORD
I order you, Uchimura!
[05:17] DEMON OVERLORD
Go to sleep!
[05:19] UCHIMURA
Sleep?
[05:20] UCHIMURA
Forgive me for speaking out of line,
but this is a crucial moment!
[05:24] UCHIMURA
If we don't come up with a plan,
there will be many casualties.
[05:27] DEMON OVERLORD
So then, you will devise a
plan while sleep-deprived,
[05:31] DEMON OVERLORD
have the soldiers fight, and
risk everyone's lives?
[05:35] UCHIMURA
Wha...
[05:35] DEMON OVERLORD
Do not stray from the path.
[05:37] DEMON OVERLORD
Your role as a strategist is different
from that of a mere soldier.
[05:41] DEMON OVERLORD
The lives of many depend on your plans.
[05:45] DEMON OVERLORD
Don't let the small things make you
lose sight of what's important.
[05:48] UCHIMURA {M}
It's true. If I were to hastily
devise an incomplete plan
[05:51] UCHIMURA {M}
because of feeling overwhelmed by the
oncoming crisis, destruction awaits us.
[05:57] UCHIMURA
Understood, Demon Overlord.
[06:14] UCHIMURA {M}
Is this a dream?
[06:17] UCHIMURA {M}
I wonder if my love for the Demon Overlord
is advising me as a hallucination...
[06:29] UCHIMURA {M}
Just as the Demon Overlord said, I
feel refreshed after getting some sleep...
[06:33] UCHIMURA {M}
In fact...
[06:38] UCHIMURA
I'll be the one...
to resolve this situation.
[06:43] UCHIMURA
All that's left is to gather the evidence!
[06:53] GNOME
You returned, Uchimura.
[06:55] UCHIMURA
Yes.
[06:55] GNOME
I heard about Ulmandra's situation.
[06:57] GNOME
To be honest, the loss in
combat power is rough.
[07:01] GNOME
And soldiers and supplies
are becoming scarce.
[07:04] GNOME
If you're here regardless,
you must have something in mind, right?
[07:09] UCHIMURA
Of course, Ms. Gnome.
[07:11] UCHIMURA
I've finally come up with
a breakthrough plan!
[07:15] UCHIMURA
My brave soldiers, you
have fought well until now.
[07:20] UCHIMURA
Now, we will end this battle!
[07:24] UCHIMURA
This is our final operation
against the calamity!
[07:27] UCHIMURA
I call it "Last Rebellion!"
[07:36] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
I have figured out the logic
behind the wyvern's movement.
[07:39] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
The hint is...
[07:40] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Women!
[07:42] (Flashback) GNOME
Women?
[07:43] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Yes.
[07:43] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Yesterday, for some reason, they
suddenly attacked two fortresses.
[07:49] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
After confirming, there was an increase and
decrease in the number of female soldiers.
[07:55] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
The order to return home was
first given from this fortress
[07:58] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
to all the female soldiers, correct?
[07:59] (Flashback) GNOME
Mhm...
SIGN Female
[08:01] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
As a result, the number of
women here decreased.
[08:05] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Thus the other two fortresses that
still held women were targeted.
[08:11] (Flashback) ULMANDRA
Leave this to me!
[08:14] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Because they attacked
Ms. Ulmandra and the others
[08:17] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
at the Demon Overlord's castle,
as if they followed them,
[08:20] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
and due to the raid data taken
from the ogre village and other areas,
[08:25] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
we believe that wyverns prefer women,
[08:29] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
especially those who have
high magical powers.
[08:32] (Flashback) GNOME
I see...
[08:34] (Flashback) GNOME
Among the beasts, there are those
that prefer to eat females
[08:38] (Flashback) GNOME
because they're more nutritious...
[08:40] (Flashback) GNOME
Certainly valid reasoning!
[08:42] (Flashback) GNOME
And? What do you intend to do?
[08:44] UCHIMURA
We will take advantage of the
wyvern's innate behavior.
[08:48] UCHIMURA
Specifically, we'll gather the
female demons as a diversion!
[08:52] UCHIMURA
Then we'll completely wipe out
the lured wyverns as one unit,
[08:57] UCHIMURA
both demi-humans and
demons, men and women!
[09:00] UCHIMURA
This is what Last Rebellion is!
[09:03] SOLDIERS A
A diversion plan?
[09:04] SOLDIERS B
We're going to be the decoys?
[09:06] SOLDIERS
An all-out battle, huh...
[09:07] SOLDIERS
If we fail...
[09:09] GNOME {M}
An expected reaction...
[09:11] GNOME {M}
A diversion plan and an all-out battle...
[09:13] GNOME {M}
It's clear that the soldiers
are feeling anxious about it.
[09:15] SOLDIERS A {overlap Gnome's thoughts}
When Ms. Ulmandra isn't here?
[09:16] GNOME {M}
Ulmandra was a huge morale
booster for the demons,
[09:18] SOLDIERS B
Is it going to go smoothly?
[09:19] GNOME {M}
and her withdrawal from battle
has a significant impact.
[09:22] GNOME {M}
If morale is weak, even
the best strategies will collapse.
[09:27] GNOME {M}
This is a critical moment, Uchimura.
[09:32] UCHIMURA
I am not the hero that
everyone believes me to be.
[09:37] UCHIMURA
My powers are weak,
[09:38] UCHIMURA
and I am not one of the Four Elite
Generals with battle strength.
[09:42] UCHIMURA
I am not even a human of
this world to begin with.
[09:45] UCHIMURA
However, isn't that
the same for everyone?
[09:50] UCHIMURA
Demons, demi-humans, different countries,
different tribes, different races!
[09:56] UCHIMURA
The Demon Army is made of both
the strong and the weak!
[10:00] UCHIMURA
Am I wrong?
[10:01] UCHIMURA
Right now, an unprecedented threat
called the calamity is approaching.
[10:06] UCHIMURA
Surely, everyone had the
same thought I did:
[10:10] UCHIMURA
"A hero will come and save us!"
[10:13] UCHIMURA
But that's not it!
[10:14] UCHIMURA
There are no heroes in this country!
[10:16] UCHIMURA
There's no convenient hero who
can overturn despair alone!
[10:20] UCHIMURA
However, we are here!
[10:23] UCHIMURA
We are not heroes, but we are here!
[10:25] UCHIMURA
There are people who love and want to protect
[10:29] UCHIMURA
this country, this town, this
village, their families!
[10:33] UCHIMURA
We won't lose! We can't afford to lose!
[10:35] UCHIMURA
That feeling must surely
be stronger than anyone else's!
[10:39] UCHIMURA
Now, let's fight!
[10:40] UCHIMURA
No matter what threats, what crisis,
or what despair there may be,
[10:45] UCHIMURA
there should be no reason not to fight!
[10:48] UCHIMURA
In order to win, I have devised a plan!
[10:50] UCHIMURA
Therefore, there is only one thing to do!
[10:53] UCHIMURA
Claim victory! Claim victory with our hands!
[10:56] UCHIMURA
Let's claim it together!
[10:58] UCHIMURA
Follow me!
[11:00] CROWD
Yeah!
[11:07] GNOME
That was a great performance.
[11:12] UCHIMURA
Ms. Gnome.
[11:13] UCHIMURA
What should we do if we fail?
[11:15] GNOME
You're going to ask that now?
[11:17] UCHIMURA
This operation involves the
lives of hundreds of people.
[11:21] UCHIMURA
Failure is not an option. Ever.
[11:24] UCHIMURA
There is no lie in what I told everyone.
[11:27] UCHIMURA
But... But...
[11:30] UCHIMURA
If you asked me if I'm
worried, I'm worried.
[11:32] UCHIMURA
I can't help but feel anxious.
[11:36] GNOME
You hopeless man.
[11:44] GNOME
Whenever I was worried... my

[11:49] GNOME

[11:53] GNOME

[12:04] UCHIMURA
Ms. Gnome...
[12:07] GNOME

[12:09] GNOME

[12:11] UCHIMURA
Y-Yes, ma'am!
[12:16] UCHIMURA
All right!
[12:29] DEMI-HUMAN SOLDIER A
Visual confirmation. Wyvern approaching!
[12:34] UCHIMURA
Operation Last Rebellion, begin!
[12:35] URUZU
All right, fire away!
[12:46] UCHIMURA
As expected, the wyverns just passed by us.
[12:48] UCHIMURA
That's because their favorite
food is just ahead.
[12:53] UCHIMURA {M}
First, the demi-humans defend the fortress!
[12:56] UCHIMURA {M}
The demons are deliberately
positioned in the rear.
[12:58] UCHIMURA {M}
The female demons are gathered in a circle,
[13:01] UCHIMURA {M}
and the male demons are arranged
to tightly surround them.
[13:04] UCHIMURA {M}
The wyverns that are drawn
to the women are then...
[13:06] LILIM
Now!
[13:10] UCHIMURA {M}
Subjected to a barrage of fire.
[13:14] UCHIMURA
However...
[13:15] UCHIMURA
Their numbers are...
[13:24] MALE DEMON A
They're coming from over there, too!
[13:26] MALE DEMON B
This is impossible!
[13:37] UCHIMURA
On the right side! Attack the right side!
[13:43] UCHIMURA {M}
We successfully lured them.
[13:45] UCHIMURA {M}
Now it's a bloodbath!
[13:47] UCHIMURA {M}
It's a battle with no end in sight.
[13:50] UCHIMURA {M}
What we need is control.
[13:52] UCHIMURA {M}
To constantly observe and
manipulate the battlefield.
[13:56] UCHIMURA
Second group approaching from the front!
[13:59] UCHIMURA

[14:02] UCHIMURA
I will do whatever I can do!
[14:07] UCHIMURA
Even if I'm weak...
[14:11] UCHIMURA
I will continue to stand on the battlefield!
[14:13] UCHIMURA
Thank you very much, Ms. Sylphid!
[14:24] GNOME

Thank you very much, Ms. Ulmandra!
[16:12] ULMANDRA
Oh, wait on the thanks and stuff...
[16:14] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra!
[16:15] UCHIMURA
Behind you, behind you!
[16:17] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra!
[16:20] ULMANDRA {M}
Not good. My body is shaking...
[16:23] ULMANDRA {M}
I managed to sound
tough in front of Uchimura,
[16:26] ULMANDRA {M}
but there's no strength or
magical power left in me.
[16:32] ULMANDRA {M}
Uchimura taught me how
to think efficiently...
[16:36] ULMANDRA
I'll draw out the maximum effect
with my limited magical power.
[16:39] ULMANDRA
I'll show you my new special move right now!
[16:42] ULMANDRA
Flash Fang!
[16:51] GNOME
I won't let you take all the credit!
[16:57] SYLPHID
After hearing a speech like that,
who wouldn't rush over to help?!
[17:01] UCHIMURA
Ms. Sylphid! Ms. Gnome!
[17:05] GNOME
The superb Four Elite
Generals have assembled.
[17:13] ULMANDRA
This is the finishing...
[17:14] GNOME
Blow!
[17:36] UCHIMURA
Did... we... do it?
[17:39] GNOME
So it seems.
[17:41] ULMANDRA
Of course!
[17:42] UCHIMURA
Oh... Oh! Hey!
[17:44] UCHIMURA
A-Are you all right?
[17:46] ULMANDRA
Not really. I was kinda at my limit.
[17:49] SYLPHID
You should have just stayed in bed...
[17:51] ULMANDRA
Uchimura, quickly ring the bell of victory!
[17:56] UCHIMURA {M}
Is it really over?
[17:59] UCHIMURA {M}
This was a calamity capable of
wiping out an entire country?
[18:03] UCHIMURA {M}
Come to think of it, the wyverns
[18:05] UCHIMURA {M}
were carrying away their prey, rather
than immediately consuming it.
[18:08] UCHIMURA {M}
Like a worker ant, carrying
their nutritious female food...
[18:13] UCHIMURA {M}
Then... who are they carrying the food to?
[18:16] UCHIMURA {M}
What is out there?
[18:19] UCHIMURA {M}
What is a calamity?
[18:24] UCHIMURA
Ah! What's going on?
[18:25] SYLPHID
An earthquake?!
[18:26] GNOME
L-Look! The mountain...
[18:28] GNOME
It's moving...?!
[18:54] UCHIMURA
A tangible... disaster... The calamity.
[19:07] UCHIMURA
This isn't something
people can go up against.
[19:17] DEMON OVERLORD
From here on, it is my responsibility.
[19:22] DEMON OVERLORD
If it is a calamity that is
beyond human understanding,
[19:25] DEMON OVERLORD
then let us face it with
the appropriate power.
[19:29] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord!
[19:31] DEMON OVERLORD
The Four Elite Generals
have done their duty.
[19:34] DEMON OVERLORD
From here on... it'll be a one-on-one
battle between the calamity and the king!
[19:55] UCHIMURA
He blocked it?!
[19:56] ULMANDRA
That's not all...
[19:58] DEMON OVERLORD
Conceptual magic... Concrete development.
[20:03] DEMON OVERLORD
Construct conceptual ritual!

Fall, Mega Death!
[20:19] DEMON OVERLORD
You're going to endure it, I see.
[20:21] DEMON OVERLORD
Then...

Perish, Giga Death!

This is... the Demon Overlord...

[21:18] UCHIMURA
Y-Yes, sir!
[21:20] DEMON OVERLORD
The battle is over.
[21:22] DEMON OVERLORD
As the commander, give the victory cry.
[21:26] UCHIMURA
Y-Yes, sir!
[21:30] UCHIMURA
Mission accomplished!
[21:32] UCHIMURA
We have won!
[21:45] GNOME
Uchimura, why don't you come
help out the demi-human troops?
[21:49] UCHIMURA
Huh?
[21:50] GNOME
With what's happened, I seriously want you.
[21:54] ULMANDRA
Quit trying to get ahead!
[21:56] UCHIMURA
Huh?
[21:56] ULMANDRA
And you too! Stop getting
all mushy, Uchimura!

Th-Thank you very much.
[01:13] UCHIMURA
I accept.
[01:24] DEMON OVERLORD
After this, I have something
to discuss with you.
[01:27] UCHIMURA {M}
A direct summons.
[01:30] UCHIMURA {M}
Is this what they call favoritism?!
[01:33] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord. Once again, I was
highly impressed by your powers.
[01:39] UCHIMURA
I will continue to strive to
serve as your subordinate.
[01:45] DEMON OVERLORD
Dear Uchimura, let me ask you one thing...
[01:48] DEMON OVERLORD
What is a king?
[01:50] UCHIMURA
Huh? A king, sir?
[01:53] UCHIMURA
The one who leads the nation, the captain
who steers the country... perhaps?
[02:01] UCHIMURA {M}
Was my answer wrong?
[02:05] DEMON OVERLORD
Uchimura.
[02:07] DEMON OVERLORD
Become the king.

Become the king.
[03:50] DEMON OVERLORD
You shall become the king of the new era.
[03:53] UCHIMURA
That's impossible!
[03:54] UCHIMURA
Me, the king?!
[03:55] UCHIMURA
Absolutely impossible!
[03:57] UCHIMURA
You're taking this joke too far!
[03:59] DEMON OVERLORD
Uchimura, you are talented.
[04:03] DEMON OVERLORD
Up until now, you have devoted
yourself to my many demands
[04:06] DEMON OVERLORD
and have shown results.
[04:08] DEMON OVERLORD
There were times when you've initiated the
move yourself and even offered suggestions.
[04:13] DEMON OVERLORD
However, you've never gone beyond
the scope of the mission.
[04:16] DEMON OVERLORD
That's it.
[04:18] UCHIMURA
Huh?!
[04:19] DEMON OVERLORD
As you are now, you are nothing
more than a talented slave
[04:23] DEMON OVERLORD
who faithfully carries
out the assigned tasks.
[04:27] DEMON OVERLORD
Being obedient can lead one to
conform to those around them.
[04:31] DEMON OVERLORD
On top of that, you have low self-esteem.
[04:34] DEMON OVERLORD
Do not confuse humility with servility.
[04:39] DEMON OVERLORD
What is holding you back, Uchimura?
[04:42] UCHIMURA
I... I...
[04:49] UCHIMURA
My apologies. May I
please have some time?
[04:56] UCHIMURA
"What is holding you back"...
[05:00] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
I don't think this case is something
that can be handled alone.
[05:04] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
I think we have no choice but to either
adjust the deadline or get more people on this...
[05:08] (Flashback) BOSS
Hey now, you gotta be kidding me.
[05:11] (Flashback) BOSS
Someone as capable as you
should be fine, right?
[05:14] (Flashback) BOSS
You graduated from a top university.
[05:15] (Flashback) BOSS
You're an elite boy who even managed
to get the president's award.
[05:18] UCHIMURA {N}
I was young and ignorant, and before I knew
it, I had earned the disdain of my boss.
[05:24] (Flashback) BOSS
Oh? Suggestions to improve the workplace?
[05:27] (Flashback) BOSS
That's quite ambitious of you.
[05:28] (Flashback) BOSS
But how about you focus
on the task at hand?
[05:32] UCHIMURA {N}
My self-esteem has been
continuously shattered.
[05:35] (Flashback) BOSS
Uchimura, you don't have
to come to the meeting.
[05:39] UCHIMURA {N}
Again and again.
[05:44] UCHIMURA {N}
Again and again.
[05:47] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Please. We're short on both
manpower and equipment.
[05:53] UCHIMURA {N}
Again and again.
[05:57] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Another transfer?!
[06:00] UCHIMURA {N}
Again and again.
[06:02] UCHIMURA {M}
During my time here,
I thought I had overcome it.
[06:07] UCHIMURA {M}
I guess the scars that have been
etched in me have not healed yet...
[06:10] UCHIMURA {M}
It's become my trauma, and that's
what's holding me back.
[06:15] UCHIMURA {M}
Someone like me could never be a
king like the Demon Overlord...
[06:19] DEMON OVERLORD {flashback}
Perish, Giga Death.
[06:28] UCHIMURA
It's impossible!
[06:30] UCHIMURA
Just thinking about it
is making me tremble!
[06:37] DEMON OVERLORD {M}
Uchimura.
[06:38] UCHIMURA {flashback}
The one who leads the nation, the
captain who steers the country... perhaps?
[06:44] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
What you're thinking is correct.
[06:47] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
But now, in this world,
the logic is different.
[06:51] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
The defining feature of a king
is simple—it's power.
[06:55] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
The calamity is the greatest
disaster that threatens a nation.
[06:58] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
The one who can eliminate said calamity
is the one who rules the country.
[07:03] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
As long as one has power,
one can become a king.
[07:06] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
Even if they are unfit to be a leader.
[07:10] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
As a result, this has continued to
produce tyrants and fool kings.
[07:15] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
The ones to suffer under the rule
of those kings are the citizens.
[07:18] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
In a sense, it brings about disaster
greater than the calamity.
[07:22] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
My ambition is the extinction
of the calamity
[07:26] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
and the eradication of the current kings...
[07:31] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
In order to do so...
[07:33] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
Uchimura, you must become king!
[07:38] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Just dreaming of becoming a
king is too presumptuous!
[07:43] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord, your expectations
are far too dazzling.
[07:47] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
I only wish to serve
by your side, my lord!
[07:52] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
That is the way of living
you can only see now.
[07:55] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
You choose the easy path...
[07:57] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
That is also a wise choice, in
order to protect one's life.
[08:02] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
However, a leader would
accept the suffering.
[08:06] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
By their own will.
[08:08] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
Your old wounds of the heart
that have yet to heal.
[08:10] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
The malicious memories
that dull your resolve.
[08:13] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
Your suffering is yours alone.
[08:17] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
But I dare to ask.
[08:19] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
Choose. Will you stop striving and grow old?
[08:22] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
Or will you endure the pain and
take that step forward?
[08:25] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord... I... I
can't believe in myself.
[08:34] UCHIMURA
If I just do the assigned
job, I won't get hurt.
[08:38] UCHIMURA
Dreams that are beyond my capabilities
weigh too heavily on me.
[08:43] UCHIMURA
Without a guarantee, I can't
even take a single step!
[08:47] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
I will vouch for your talent as a king!
[08:51] UCHIMURA
A coward...
[08:55] UCHIMURA
That's what I am!
[08:57] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
Strive to become the king, Uchimura!
[08:59] UCHIMURA
I feel pathetic!
[09:02] UCHIMURA
What should I do?
[09:06] UCHIMURA
Come to think of it,
when I came to this world,
[09:09] UCHIMURA
the Demon Overlord mentioned it.
[09:11] DEMON OVERLORD {flashback}
Of course, if you decline the offer,
I'll send you back to your own world.
[09:14] DEMON OVERLORD {flashback}
I have no right to force you to accept.
[09:17] UCHIMURA {M}
It's not possible for me
to shamelessly stay here
[09:20] UCHIMURA {M}
when I can't even meet the
Demon Overlord's expectations.
[09:23] UCHIMURA {M}
I should resign from the Big Four
[09:24] UCHIMURA {M}
and go back to being a worthless
salaryman in my original world.
[09:30] NEIA

[09:32] NEIA

Oh, hey! It's a letter from
the chimozu-selling couple!
[09:58] ZUMO

Thanks to you, we're very prosperous.

We truly thank you very much.
[10:12] UCHIMURA
"We sincerely look forward
to your next visit."
[10:16] UCHIMURA
I wanted to eat it again, too.
[10:19] UCHIMURA
It's just like when I was sent overseas.

saying goodbye...

Hey, Uchimura.
[12:50] UCHIMURA
Ms. Gnome. I'm sorry to bother
you so early in the morning.
[12:54] UCHIMURA
I actually came to say...
[12:55] GNOME
Good timing, come take a look at this.
[13:00] UCHIMURA
Huh?
[13:01] UCHIMURA
Oh! The demi-human troops and
the demon troops are...
[13:03] GNOME
I discussed it with Ulmandra,
[13:05] GNOME
and we decided to start doing joint
training just to experiment.
[13:08] UCHIMURA
With Ms. Ulmandra?!
[13:10] GNOME
Yeah. The rest of our soldiers
headed over to her and are training.
[13:15] GNOME
We were able to win because
of your plan to divide our roles.
[13:22] GNOME
If we regularly train together, we can
become even more effective in combat.
[13:27] GNOME
As their skills improve, they'll be
able to devise better strategies
[13:31] GNOME
that incorporate each other's strengths.
[13:34] GNOME
Having said that...
[13:36] GNOME
To be honest, I don't know
if I have what it takes
[13:39] GNOME
to bring both the demi-humans
and demons together.
[13:44] GNOME
I don't know what may trigger a conflict...
[13:47] GNOME
What if that conflict creates
a new rift between the tribes?
[13:52] GNOME
And if that happens, what can I do?
[13:56] GNOME
Once I start thinking about
it, there's no end to it.
[13:58] UCHIMURA {M}
I didn't know she was
thinking that far ahead...
[14:01] GNOME
But, I also think of it this way.
[14:04] GNOME
You can't be afraid to change.
[14:07] GNOME
You mustn't deny your own potential.
[14:10] GNOME
Isn't that right, Uchimura?
[14:12] UCHIMURA
Ms. Gnome...
[14:14] GNOME
It's all thanks to you that I
began to think this way as well.
[14:19] GNOME
Well, whenever Ulmandra
and I see each other,
[14:22] GNOME
we still get into constant arguments
as always, but you know.
[14:27] GNOME
That's the case, so Uchimura,
[14:29] GNOME
I ask that you continue to coordinate with
each of the units and with the two of us.
[14:34] UCHIMURA
Oh, I still had something to...
[14:36] GNOME
If you need anything, the least
I could do is lend you my tail.
[14:39] UCHIMURA
Oh... Uh...
[14:48] UCHIMURA
Ms. Sylphid,
[14:51] UCHIMURA
I have something I need
to speak to you about...
[14:53] SYLPHID (MALE)
Yeah. Hold on a second, Overseas.
[14:58] UCHIMURA
What is that?
[15:00] SYLPHID (MALE)
I started a plant breeding team for gim.
[15:06] UCHIMURA
When did you start all this?
[15:08] SYLPHID
I've had the idea for quite some time.
[15:11] SYLPHID
I thought perhaps yielding more gim
[15:13] SYLPHID
may be our best solution to
the food shortage problem.
[15:18] UCHIMURA
That's true...
[15:20] SYLPHID
But I had always used an
excuse to run away from it,
[15:23] SYLPHID
saying it wasn't my expertise.
[15:25] SYLPHID
I finally got around to taking that step,
[15:28] SYLPHID
but I must say, what a bothersome
task I've taken up.
[15:32] UCHIMURA
Um... Ms. Sylphid, why do you...
[15:35] SYLPHID
But even so, I want to do it.
[15:41] SYLPHID
Confronting worthless relatives brought
back silly memories from the past.
[15:50] SYLPHID
But more importantly,
it reminded me of something.
[15:55] SYLPHID
The villagers who gave me food when
I was starving and had collapsed.
[16:00] SYLPHID
Even though they were poor themselves...
[16:04] SYLPHID
That's when I realized...
[16:05] SYLPHID
My powers are meant to be used
for the good of the people!
[16:12] SYLPHID
Jobs are determined by ability and aptitude,
but a calling is decided by one's emotions.
[16:17] SYLPHID
I thought, "What we want to do, what
we should do, is what drives people."
[16:22] UCHIMURA
Want to do... Should do...
[16:26] SYLPHID
Well, it's all thanks to you that I was
able to face myself like this, Uchimura.
[16:32] SYLPHID
So, you should also face
your own inner self.
[16:35] SYLPHID
If you face your own heart,
naturally a good answer will...
[16:39] SYLPHID
Well, I don't need to be
saying this to you, right?
[16:43] UCHIMURA
Ms. Sylphid?
[16:46] SYLPHID
Now then, I have to get back to work.
[16:49] SYLPHID
Sorry, Overseas.
[16:51] SYLPHID
I don't have time to waste
lazily chatting with you.
[17:01] UCHIMURA {M}
Face my inner self...
[17:09] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra?
[17:15] UCHIMURA
What?!
[17:17] UCHIMURA
I-Is she angry...?!
[17:19] ULMANDRA
Hahaha, must be nice having
fun, chatting with the girls!
[17:23] ULMANDRA
Why am I last?
[17:25] ULMANDRA
Are you ignoring me? Do I not
even appear on your radar? Huh?!
[17:27] UCHIMURA
A barrage of insults?!
[17:29] UCHIMURA
Why do you know I was talking
to Ms. Gnome and Ms. Sylphid?!
[17:33] ULMANDRA
Huh?!
[17:34] UCHIMURA
Jeez, of course...
[17:36] UCHIMURA
I intended on visiting
you, too, Ms. Ulmandra.
[17:39] ULMANDRA
What is it?
[17:40] ULMANDRA
If you have something to
say, spit it all out.
[17:43] UCHIMURA
Y-You see... I was told by the Demon
Overlord to strive to be the king, and...
[17:51] UCHIMURA
I got so confused, and...
[17:55] UCHIMURA
I'm so pathetic, aren't I?
Dragging my feet like this...
[18:11] ULMANDRA
You finally showed your weakness.
[18:15] ULMANDRA
You don't show your weakness enough.
[18:17] ULMANDRA
That's your problem.
[18:19] ULMANDRA
As one of the Big Four,
you're handling everything.
[18:22] ULMANDRA
You've accomplished so much that you
forgot the most important thing.
[18:26] UCHIMURA
The most important thing?
[18:35] ULMANDRA
Ulmandra, the Inferno Assailant!
[18:38] UCHIMURA
Overseas Manager, Dennosuke Uchimura!
[18:43] ULMANDRA
Rely on me more. We're friends, aren't we?
[18:48] ULMANDRA
Even if the world is disappointed
in you, I'll stay by your side.
[18:54] ULMANDRA
Um... So, have confidence in yourself!
[18:56] ULMANDRA
Aim to be the king, or demon
overlord, or whatever!
[19:03] UCHIMURA
Why?
[19:04] ULMANDRA
Huh?!
[19:08] UCHIMURA
Why is everyone so kind?
[19:11] ULMANDRA
Wait, what?
[19:12] UCHIMURA
Thank you so much, Ms. Ulmandra...
[19:16] ULMANDRA
Quit crying! Hey! Uchimura?!
[19:20] VOICE {background while the following people talk. Flashback quotes}
Tch, you should have just kept your
mouth shut and done as you're told.
[19:23] GNOME
Uchimura, you mustn't break.
[19:26] VOICE {background while the following people talk. Flashback quotes}
Thanks for the hard work.
I'll take it from here.
[19:26] OLULU
Mr. Uchimura.
[19:29] ZUMO
Mr. Uchimura.
[19:29] VOICE {background while the following people talk. Flashback quotes}
Well, keep doing your best, elite boy.
[19:30] CHIMO
Mr. Uchimura.
[19:33] SYLPHID
You have to face yourself, Uchimura.
[19:36] BUTAGALIAN
Mr. Uchimura.
[19:39] NEIA
Mr. Uchimura.
[19:41] ULMANDRA
We're friends, aren't we?
[20:04] UCHIMURA
I apologize for my late reply.
[20:07] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord, your presence
is so big and far too great.
[20:12] UCHIMURA
I still feel very hesitant to imagine
myself becoming the king.
[20:18] UCHIMURA
However, my colleagues are pushing forward
and standing up to new challenges as well.
[20:25] UCHIMURA
From each and every one's actions and
thoughts, it made me realize something.
[20:31] UCHIMURA
That one should never deny
oneself and create limitations.
[20:36] UCHIMURA
And when I gazed into my heart,
[20:39] UCHIMURA
I was acknowledged by you, Demon Overlord...
[20:42] UCHIMURA
I sincerely felt happy about that.
[20:46] UCHIMURA
Besides anxiousness, I felt that
I want to meet your expectations
[20:52] UCHIMURA
and truly give it a try.
[20:55] UCHIMURA
That said, it's clear that it's nearly
impossible to become a powerful king like you.
[21:01] UCHIMURA
It is very obvious that I, for one, cannot.
[21:03] UCHIMURA
Therefore, I want to seek a
new way of becoming a king.
[21:07] DEMON OVERLORD
A new way?
[21:09] UCHIMURA
Yes! A new type of king, who does
not use power to stand on top.
[21:13] DEMON OVERLORD
Hm...
[21:15] UCHIMURA
If that is all right by you, I will...
[21:19] UCHIMURA
Strive to become the king!
[21:21] UCHIMURA
No, please allow me to strive to become one!
[21:25] UCHIMURA
I am still a fledgling.
[21:27] UCHIMURA
Therefore, I wish to seek further
guidance from you, Demon Overlord.
[21:32] UCHIMURA
Not only from you. I will need
help from all of my companions.
[21:40] UCHIMURA
Please allow me to continue to fully
take part in each task before me.
[21:48] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord, sir?
[21:49] DEMON OVERLORD
All right. That will do, Uchimura.
[21:56] DEMON OVERLORD
For the sake of the Demon Army,
[21:58] DEMON OVERLORD
for the sake of this world,
[21:59] DEMON OVERLORD
let us aim for the top together.
[22:02] UCHIMURA
Yes, sir!
[22:10] OLULU
Mr. Uchimura, we have received an invitation
[22:13] OLULU
to the commemorative ceremony
from the Rampage Kingdom.
[22:16] UCHIMURA
Thank you, Olulu. Please have
the other attendees researched.
[22:19] UCHIMURA
I want to communicate with
our neighbors as much as possible.
[22:22] UCHIMURA
Neia, let's go with this schedule
for the southern area inspections.
[22:25] NEIA
Yes, sir!
[22:26] UCHIMURA
And also, about the
pest control committee, this...
[22:28] ULMANDRA
Hey, Uchimura!
[22:30] UCHIMURA
Hm?
[22:30] ULMANDRA
Let's have a toast to your future.
[22:33] ULMANDRA
Go get your glass, too.
[22:35] UCHIMURA
Huh?
[22:36] UCHIMURA
Mine, too?
[22:37] ULMANDRA
You know, the glasses that you
bought as a pair before?
[22:43] ULMANDRA
Oh!
[22:44] ULMANDRA
If you're talking about that glass, after
that, I presented it to the Demon Overlord!
[22:51] ULMANDRA
W-What did you just say?
[23:01] DEMON OVERLORD
To Uchimura and
the future of this world.
[23:04] DEMON OVERLORD
Cheers.
[23:05] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlordy!
