That's the overseas factory
construction plan, isn't it?
**[03:07] (Flashback) EMPLOYEE B**
I heard the manager pulled some
strings and had it pushed onto him.
**[03:11] (Flashback) EMPLOYEE A**
Oh man, my condolences.
**[03:13] (Flashback) EMPLOYEE C**
Yeah, just like Sargasso,
it's a graveyard for losers.
**[03:25] (Flashback) UCHIMURA**
What?
**[03:32] (Flashback) UCHIMURA**
We have a shortage of

Huh?!
**[04:47] UCHIMURA**
What's going on?
**[04:49] UCHIMURA**
Where am I? Hell?! Another world?!
**[04:51] UCHIMURA**
Is this the River Styx?!
**[04:52] DEMON OVERLORD**
Welcome, Dennosuke Uchimura!
**[04:56] UCHIMURA**
W-Why do you know my name?!
**[04:58] DEMON OVERLORD**
Because I have summoned you here.
**[05:00] UCHIMURA**
Wha...
**[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.
**[09:52] UCHIMURA {M}**
*Is this an otherworldly entrance exam?!*
**[09:54] DEMON OVERLORD**

**[10:19] DEMON OVERLORD**
With your negotiation skills,

**[10:27] DEMON OVERLORD**
For more details, ask your

**[10:30] DEMON OVERLORD**
That is all!
**[10:35] UCHIMURA**
Why is this happening to me?

Stop dragging your feet and

*What's this massive pressure?!*

Not that you're going to pass anyway.
**[10:45] UCHIMURA {M}**
*Isn't this power harassment?!*
**[10:47] UCHIMURA {M}**
*But Ms. Ulmandra is right.*

* I'm a useless salaryman who can't use*
* magic and has no special abilities.*
**[10:54] UCHIMURA {M}**
*I can't become an elite general...*
**[10:56] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {FLASHBACK}**
Do not accept the fool's
nonsense, Uchimura!
**[10:59] UCHIMURA {M}**
* I've always wanted to work for*
* a boss who really needed me.*
**[11:05] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {FLASHBACK}**
I have called upon you because I need you!
**[11:09] UCHIMURA {M}**
* I want to accomplish something*
* under such a boss...*
**[11:12] UCHIMURA {M}**
*I want to live up to that man...*
**[11:14] UCHIMURA {M}**
* To the overlord's expectations,*
* as much as I can!*
**[11:18] ULMANDRA**
We're here.
**[11:19] ULMANDRA**
This is the room where the Chief
of the Minotaur Tribe is staying.
**[11:23] UCHIMURA**
What...
**[11:24] UCHIMURA**
U-Uh, um... Isn't it a bit big?
**[11:27] ULMANDRA**
You'll understand when you meet him.
**[11:29] ULMANDRA**
Just so you know, the
minotaurs are ferocious.
**[11:32] ULMANDRA**
Be careful not to be trampled to death
and turned into a human carpet.
**[11:37] UCHIMURA**
What?
**[11:39] UCHIMURA {M}**
*I don't know what he's like,*
**[11:41] UCHIMURA {M}**
*but I must do my best on this exam!*
**[11:47] UCHIMURA {M}**
*Not gonna happen!*
**[11:48] UCHIMURA {M}**
*That thing is an embodiment of violence!*
**[11:57] UCHIMURA {M}**
This is a case of otherworldly harassment...
**[12:00] UCHIMURA {M}**
Oh, I tell you!
**[12:02] UCHIMURA {M}**
After all that, it's a problem that
can't be solved without power!
**[12:04] ULMANDRA**
Fine, I'll give you a hand.
**[12:07] ULMANDRA**
Watch and learn how negotiations
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?*
**[12:26] ULMANDRA**
Why, you!
**[12:27] ULMANDRA**
How could you possibly be
dissatisfied with such a big room!
**[12:29] TARIUS**
Why don't you understand?!
**[12:32] ULMANDRA**
You're really pushing it here!
**[12:35] UCHIMURA {M}**
*Oh no... She's terrible at negotiating!*
**[12:40] ULMANDRA**
Jeez.
**[12:43] ULMANDRA**
The Minotaur Tribe was initially
open to making a pact.
**[12:47] ULMANDRA**
Even negotiations with Sir Tarius
were going well at first, but...
**[12:51] (Flashback) ULMANDRA**
Now then, let us move forward
under these conditions.
**[12:55] (Flashback) TARIUS**
Nay.
**[12:56] (Flashback) ULMANDRA**
Huh?!
**[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.
**[13:24] UCHIMURA {M}**
*What a hot mess she's handing me.*
**[13:37] UCHIMURA {M}**
*You say... you're leaving it to me, but...*
**[13:46] UCHIMURA {M}**
*He's a massive creature!*
**[13:49] UCHIMURA {M}**
*Can we even hold a conversation?*
**[13:52] ULMANDRA**
*How's that?!*
**[13:53] ULMANDRA**
*You see?!*
**[13:54] ULMANDRA**
*How difficult this negotiation is?*
**[13:56] ULMANDRA**
* Just as I suspected, this*
* task is impossible for you!*

I certainly don't think it's possible for

Let's see how it goes for a bit.
**[15:54] ULMANDRA**
Uchimura, why are you
digging through that trash?
**[15:57] UCHIMURA**
I thought I'd try having a proper
conversation with Mr. Tarius.
**[16:00] ULMANDRA**
It's impossible!
**[16:02] ULMANDRA**
His attitude and his whole being are huge.
**[16:03] ULMANDRA**
You saw how he has no

**[16:06] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Ulmandra, you're cutting

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!
**[16:30] UCHIMURA**
I'll make sure this
negotiation goes through.
**[16:33] ULMANDRA {M}**
* The weak-hearted expression he had*
* a moment ago disappeared, and...*
**[16:48] ULMANDRA**
Are you here, Uchimura?! Sir Tarius!
**[16:54] ULMANDRA**
The large room became a
pile of garbage overnight!
**[16:56] ULMANDRA**
Uchimura, did the negotiations fall through?
**[16:57] UCHIMURA**
Here, take that!
**[16:58] TARIUS**
Hey, stop...
**[16:59] UCHIMURA**
Oh, good morning, Ms. Ulmandra—
**[17:01] ULMANDRA**
Why, you!
**[17:02] ULMANDRA**
What have you done to our
sacred demon castle?!
**[17:05] ULMANDRA**
Besides, where has Sir Tarius gone?!
**[17:08] ULMANDRA**
Don't tell me he went home?!
**[17:10] UCHIMURA**
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**
What do you mean?
**[17:18] UCHIMURA**
It was decided yesterday
that the Minotaur Tribe and
**[17:21] UCHIMURA**
the Demon Army will become allies.
**[17:23] ULMANDRA**
What?!
**[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.
**[21:09] UCHIMURA**
I am Dennosuke Uchimura,
the Overseas Manager.
**[21:15] ULMANDRA**
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.*
**[21:53] DEMON OVERLORD {M}**
*That brightness will lead us and,*
**[21:57] DEMON OVERLORD {M}**
*eventually, make the entire army shine!*
***SIGN*** MUGO Mm... Sexy / Shizuka Kudou

"Looking eye to eye,
we understand each other"...
**[23:40] MASTER**
Hm. It's the same with fish.
**[23:43] MASTER**
Do you want to be sashimi?
**[23:45] MASTER**
Do you want to be boiled?

Or is it...

**[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
***SIGN*** Demon Army Territory
***SIGN*** Rampage
Kingdom Territory
**[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**
Listen to me!
**[06:28] UCHIMURA {M}**
*Could it be that these two...*
**[06:28] ULMANDRA**
You're always like this!
Have a little respect!
***SIGN*** Episode 2:
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.
**[13:58] UCHIMURA**
Mission two in another world:
annexation of the Ogre Tribe.
**[14:02] UCHIMURA**
How should I handle it?

Is it true that you had a breakthrough?!
**[15:36] UCHIMURA**
Yes.
**[15:37] UCHIMURA**
My apologies for calling you

**[15:39] ULMANDRA**
Oh! D-Don't worry about it.
**[15:41] ULMANDRA**
Let's hurry and head

**[15:43] UCHIMURA**
No, we're heading somewhere else.
**[15:46] ULMANDRA**
Hm? What do you mean?
**[15:48] UCHIMURA**
I'll tell you the details along the way.
**[15:51] UCHIMURA**
If everything goes well, hopefully the chief
will be the one to set up a negotiation session.
**[15:55] ULMANDRA**
*He's* going to?
***SIGN*** One Week Later
**[16:01] UCHIMURA**
What's the matter?
**[16:03] UCHIMURA**
Calling us out like this all of a sudden.
**[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.
**[16:34] UCHIMURA**
I call it, "Operation Strong
Hold of Large Corporations."
***SIGN*** Operation Strong Hold
**[16:38] (Flashback) ULMANDRA**

**[16:46] UCHIMURA{M}**

**[17:15] UCHIMURA{M}**

**[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!
**[17:30] UCHIMURA{M}**
* Good. He's becoming more*
* emotional and less logical.*
**[17:30] OGURE {background}**
I won't allow it!
**[17:32] OGURE {background}**
I won't let you do as you please!
**[17:34] UCHIMURA{M}**
* Negotiations are lost by those*
* who lose their cool first.*
**[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—
**[18:27] OLULU**
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.
**[19:52] OGURE {M}**
*My Olulu, who was once small, is now...*
**[19:56] OGURE {M}**
*I suppose times do change.*

**[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.*

I'm impressed.
**[00:16] OLULU**
It goes so smoothly when you rank both

**[00:20] OLULU**
I was surprised.

I've seen plenty of cases where people

to exterminate it.
**[03:26] UCHIMURA**
A magical beast?!
**[03:27] ULMANDRA**
About five orcs who live

**[03:58] ULMANDRA**
Found them!
**[04:00] ULMANDRA**
These are the mushrooms!
**[04:01] UCHIMURA**
Mushrooms? Are those edible?
**[04:03] ULMANDRA**
Yeah. Apparently, the orcs were attacked
while picking these mushrooms.
**[04:07] ULMANDRA**
They're a valuable food source around here.
**[04:10] ULMANDRA**
If we stake out this area,
the hellhog should show up.
**[04:18] UCHIMURA**
A boar?!
***SIGN*** Hellhog
**[04:27] ULMANDRA**
That's a warning.
**[04:28] UCHIMURA**
Huh?
**[04:29] ULMANDRA**
Uchimura, back away slowly. Meanwhile...
**[04:32] ULMANDRA**
I'll kill it!
**[04:39] UCHIMURA/ID**
* I see. Boars that move two-dimensionally*
* struggle to grasp three dimensions.*
**[04:43] UCHIMURA/ID**
*That's why she attacked from above.*
**[04:45] UCHIMURA/ID**
*She's an experienced fighter.*
**[04:58] UCHIMURA/ID**
*This thing is practically a force of nature!*
**[05:03] UCHIMURA/ID**
* And Ms. Ulmandra is incredible*
* for dodging it, but...*
**[05:07] UCHIMURA/ID**
*She's lacking. She's seriously lacking.*
**[05:11] UCHIMURA/ID**
* It'd be different if this were a*
* raid, but our goal is to hunt.*
**[05:14] UCHIMURA/ID**
*To inflict mortal wounds.*
**[05:15] UCHIMURA/ID**
* Tough horns, sharp claws,*
* and powerful fangs.*
**[05:19] UCHIMURA/ID**
* Wild animals have features*
* for killing enemies.*
**[05:22] UCHIMURA/ID**
*But what about us? We're weak.*
**[05:25] UCHIMURA/ID**
*Our capacity for killing is low.*
**[05:27] UCHIMURA/ID**
*That's why we sought substitutes.*
**[05:29] UCHIMURA/ID**
* Swords, spears, bows and arrows,*
* firearms, and explosives.*
**[05:33] UCHIMURA/ID**
* We looked beyond ourselves for*
* the killing capacity we lacked.*
**[05:36] UCHIMURA/ID**
*We sought that in weapons.*
**[05:38] UCHIMURA/ID**
*Ms. Ulmandra must realize that as well.*
**[05:41] UCHIMURA/ID**
*So why didn't she bring a weapon?*
**[05:43] ULMANDRA**
I'll never kill it like this.
**[05:47] ULMANDRA**
I guess I should start trying for real.
**[05:58] UCHIMURA**
She strengthened her body.
**[06:01] ULMANDRA**
It takes time for this spell to wear off, so
I don't like using it, but it can't be helped.
**[06:06] ULMANDRA**
Come at me with everything you've got.
**[06:14] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Ulmandra...
**[06:16] ULMANDRA**
If I split its stomach, I'll tear open
its intestines and make it inedible.
**[06:23] UCHIMURA**
What?!
**[06:28] UCHIMURA**
What?!
**[06:33] UCHIMURA/ID**
*This is magic. This is what demons can do.*
**[06:36] ULMANDRA**
Okay, let's eat.
**[06:39] UCHIMURA/ID**
*Does she expect me to have an appetite now?*
**[06:44] ORC CHIEF**
Thank you so much.
**[06:46] ORC CHIEF**
I can't believe you defeated it yourself.
**[06:49] ULMANDRA**
Good. You should be grateful.
**[06:51] ULMANDRA**
I bet you haven't eaten meat in a while.
**[06:53] ULMANDRA**
We'll eat it together.
**[06:56] UCHIMURA/ID**
*What?*
**[07:00] UCHIMURA/ID**
*They're okay with that?*
**[07:01] ORC WOMAN**
Ms. Ulmandra, I broke down
the leg meat for you.
**[07:06] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Ulmandra, you can cook?
**[07:09] ULMANDRA**
Of course I can. I'm an elite general.
**[07:12] ULMANDRA**
I'll give you a taste of
this nation's meat dishes.
**[07:15] UCHIMURA**
Meat…
**[07:16] UCHIMURA**
All I've eaten since coming here is gim
porridge, so I'm looking forward to it.
**[07:19] UCHIMURA**
How are you going to cook it?
**[07:21] ULMANDRA**
Over an open flame.
**[07:23] UCHIMURA**
An open flame?
**[07:31] ULMANDRA**
Done! I present boar grilled
over an open flame!
**[07:34] UCHIMURA/ID**
*She wasn't kidding about the open flame.*
**[07:36] UCHIMURA**
It just looks like a mysterious
burnt object to me.
**[07:39] ULMANDRA**
Just try it.
**[07:44] UCHIMURA/ID**
*This is…*
**[07:45] UCHIMURA**
Bitterness and harshness spread throughout
my mouth the moment I bit into it.
***SIGN*** RRRUMBLE
**[07:49] UCHIMURA**
The oily meat juices that flowed out
of it cling to the inside of my mouth.
**[07:53] UCHIMURA**
This isn't food. It's oral pollution.
**[07:56] ULMANDRA**
That's not very nice.
**[07:58] UCHIMURA**
Well, you're not very nice for feeding
me this strange dark matter.
**[08:02] ULMANDRA**
You forget your manners
when it comes to food!
**[08:06] UCHIMURA/ID**
* I'm experiencing a ton of isekai culture*
* shock, but the biggest problem is...*
**[08:13] UCHIMURA**
You use a shared oven.
**[08:15] ULMANDRA**
Huh?
**[08:15] ULMANDRA**
Yeah, because they're expensive.
**[08:17] ULMANDRA**
Salt is a rare product, too.
**[08:19] UCHIMURA**
Seriously?
**[08:20] UCHIMURA**
There's no way that's enough.
**[08:22] ULMANDRA**
It won't change the flavor
unless we add more.
**[08:25] UCHIMURA**
Excuse me. Could you let me do that?
**[08:28] ULMANDRA & ORCS**
What?
**[08:28] UCHIMURA**
I only need a pinch of salt.
**[08:31] UCHIMURA**
If I could just get some
edible mushrooms instead...
**[08:39] UCHIMURA**
And it's done!
**[08:41] UCHIMURA**
Grilled boar skewer and
boar soup with mushrooms!
**[08:49] ULMANDRA**
It's good!
**[08:53] ORC VILLAGER A**
It really is good.
**[08:55] ORC VILLAGER B**
When we cook it, it's too
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!
***SIGN*** SQUEEZE
**[13:21] DEMON LORD**
Don't be imprudent.
**[13:22] DEMON LORD**
Uchimura, go clear up Ulmandra's
confusion and reconcile with her.
**[13:28] DEMON LORD**
That's an order.
**[13:30] UCHIMURA/ID**
*What? A task from the Demon Lord?*
**[13:32] UCHIMURA**
I understand.
**[13:34] DEMON LORD**
Uchimura, this isn't just
an interpersonal issue.
**[13:39] DEMON LORD**
For you, this will be a good opportunity
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.
**[17:30] ULMANDRA**

I'm not a nympho! I just wanted

**[19:33] UCHIMURA & ULMANDRA**
What?
**[19:35] UCHIMURA**
No, wait.
**[19:37] UCHIMURA**
I simply wanted to compliment your body,
but I have a limited vocabulary.
**[19:42] ULMANDRA**
I just wanted to tell you I'm not a
nympho. I had no other intentions.
**[19:51] UCHIMURA**
Um, I didn't know the first thing about you.
**[19:56] UCHIMURA**
I'm really sorry!
**[19:56] ULMANDRA**
What?
**[19:57] ULMANDRA**
You've been researching demons?
**[20:01] ULMANDRA**
You're such a sincere and honest idiot.
**[20:05] ULMANDRA**
I'm sorry, too.
**[20:07] ULMANDRA**
I forced my standards on you.
**[20:09] ULMANDRA**
I even became emotional and
abandoned you in the woods.
**[20:11] UCHIMURA**
I did feel like my life
was in danger then...
**[20:16] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Ulmandra.
**[20:18] UCHIMURA**
We both realized our mistakes
and learned about each other.
**[20:21] UCHIMURA**
Don't you think we could
become good partners?
**[20:25] ULMANDRA**
P-Partners...
**[20:28] ULMANDRA**
Well, I'm sure we won't be bad.
**[20:31] ULMANDRA/ID**
*Was that a confession?*
**[20:32] ULMANDRA/ID**
* Is "partners" a roundabout way of*
* confessing his feelings for me?*
**[20:35] UCHIMURA/ID**
* Great. Now I can continue*
* working harmoniously with her.*
**[20:40] DEMON LORD**
The alliance with the ogres and the
unification of the seven tribes
**[20:44] DEMON LORD**
has dramatically increased
the scale of the Demon Army.
**[20:48] DEMON LORD**
I grant you this distinguished service
award for facilitating that unification.
**[20:52] DEMON LORD**
Raise your head, Overseas Manager and
Elite General Dennosuke Uchimura.
**[20:58] UCHIMURA**
Yes, sir.
**[20:58] DEMON LORD**
You've achieved much in
a short amount of time.
**[21:02] DEMON LORD**
I grant you this magic stone in
recognition of your success.
**[21:11] UCHIMURA**
I am honored to receive an
award from Your Majesty.
**[21:15] UCHIMURA**
However, I could not have achieved
this success alone, so...
**[21:31] UCHIMURA**
This is for you, Ms. Ulmandra.
**[21:33] ULMANDRA**
What?!
**[21:34] UCHIMURA**
This jewel belongs to both of us.
**[21:37] UCHIMURA**
Will you accept?
**[21:39] ULMANDRA**
A-Are you stupid?!
**[21:41] UCHIMURA/ID**
*What?! She's insulting me now?*
**[21:43] UCHIMURA**
Please accept it!
**[21:44] OLULU**
Mr. Uchimura probably doesn't know
**[21:44] UCHIMURA**
As your partner, I won't
be satisfied otherwise!
**[21:47] ULMANDRA**
I'm not accepting this in
front of all these people!
**[21:47] OLULU**
that giving a member of the opposite sex
a magic stone is a marriage proposal.
**[21:50] UCHIMURA**
Can't you make an exception?
**[21:52] ULMANDRA**
If you must give it to me,
do it someplace quieter!
**[21:54] ULMANDRA**
Do it romantically!
**[21:57] SYLPHID**
Dennosuke Uchimura...
**[21:57] UCHIMURA**
*What do you mean? Come on! Why not?*
**[21:59] SYLPHID**
He's ingratiated himself to them
despite his incompetence.
**[22:00] UCHIMURA**
*Come on, please! Please accept it!*
**[22:02] UCHIMURA**
*I'm begging you!*

*The sudden summons.*
**[00:07] UCHIMURA/ID**
*This serious atmosphere.*
**[00:09] UCHIMURA/ID**
*Did I screw something up?*
**[00:10] DEMON KING**
Overseas Manager Uchimura, I
summoned you today because...
**[00:15] UCHIMURA**
I'm sorry!
**[00:19] DEMON KING**
What do you think you're doing?
**[00:21] UCHIMURA**
Demon Overlord, perhaps I'm not
fit to be an elite general!
**[00:25] UCHIMURA**
But please give me a
chance! I'll do anything!
**[00:29] UCHIMURA**
I'll do anything!
**[00:32] DEMON OVERLORD**
Your low self-esteem is a flaw.
**[00:34] DEMON OVERLORD**
I do not think you're unfit.
**[00:37] DEMON OVERLORD**
If anything, you're doing a good job.
**[00:39] UCHIMURA**
What?
**[00:39] UCHIMURA/ID**
*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**
I mean, he did give me this.
**[03:59] ULMANDRA**
He probably wants to settle down.
**[04:05] UCHIMURA**
* Magic stones are compressed and crystallized*
* magical power shaped by demons.*
***SIGN*** Episode 4
Breakthroughs Happen Even With Magic!
**[04:12] UCHIMURA**
* The tremendous magic power inside them can*
* be utilized as an external resource.*
**[04:16] UCHIMURA**
I see.
**[04:19] OLULU**
Here.
**[04:21] UCHIMURA**
Thank you, Olulu.
**[04:22] OLULU**
You must be exhausted from
working so much overtime.
**[04:25] OLULU**
Try to get off work earlier today.
**[04:28] UCHIMURA**
Okay, but just a little longer.
**[04:31] UCHIMURA**
Olulu, about this magic stone...
**[04:34] UCHIMURA**
Could this allow demi-humans to
use magic power like demons?
**[04:39] OLULU**
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.
**[04:49] UCHIMURA**
I see. So that skill is the key.
**[04:52] UCHIMURA/ID**
* No matter how you look at it, I*
* need knowledge on magical R&D.*
**[04:58] UCHIMURA/ID**
* I'll have to overcome my fear*
* and visit Ms. Sylphid.*
**[05:05] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Sylphid, I'm here on
the Demon Overlord's orders.
**[05:08] UCHIMURA**
Are you here?
**[05:09] SYLPHID**
Coming.
**[05:12] UCHIMURA**
Hello, Ms. Belinda.
**[05:13] SYLPHID**
Who are you?
**[05:15] UCHIMURA**
Actually, I came by to introduce
myself the other day.
**[05:18] UCHIMURA**
I'm Uchimura, one of the Big Four.
**[05:20] SYLPHID**
Oh, right. Forgive me. Can I help you?
**[05:24] UCHIMURA**
I'm here on the Demon Overlord's orders.
**[05:26] UCHIMURA**
Is Ms. Sylphid here today?
**[05:29] SYLPHID**
No. As usual, she's not here.
**[05:31] UCHIMURA**
What? But the Demon Overlord said we
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?

This stew is delicious.
**[17:15] OL ULMANDRA**
These skewers are great, too.
**[17:17] UCHIMURA/ID**
*Offal sure is tasty.*
**[17:19] UCHIMURA/ID**
* But apparently, they used to throw away*
* organ meat because it spoils easily.*
**[17:24] UCHIMURA/ID**
* Now it's popular for its flavor*

**[17:27] OL ULMANDRA**

**[17:29] MASTER**
You got it.
**[17:29] UCHIMURA/ID**
* Depending on how you use them, even*
* things that seem useless at first...*
**[17:46] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Sylphid!
**[17:47] UCHIMURA**
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**
I'm impressed you solved the
pressing monster problem
**[19:45] DEMON OVERLORD**
with the magic item development
task I gave you.
**[19:49] DEMON OVERLORD**
Sylphid's R&D abilities and
Uchimura's creativity.
**[19:53] DEMON OVERLORD**
Both are quite impressive.
**[19:55] UCHIMURA**
Thank you.
**[19:57] SYLPHID**
You honor me.
**[19:59] DEMON OVERLORD**
Sylphid, begin mass-producing Rosemarins.
**[20:03] DEMON OVERLORD**
Distribute them to all
villages once they're made.
**[20:05] SYLPHID**
At once, sir.
**[20:14] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Sylphid.
**[20:16] UCHIMURA**
Thank you so much.
**[20:18] UCHIMURA**
I don't know what I would've
done without your help.
**[20:23] SYLPHID**
Let me say one thing.
**[20:26] UCHIMURA**
Yes?
**[20:27] SYLPHID**
Thanks to you, I made progress
on the research I was stuck on.
**[20:33] SYLPHID**
Not only that, but you reminded me
of a researcher's true purpose.
**[20:40] SYLPHID**
Thank you, Dennosuke Uchimura.
**[20:45] SYLPHID**
I owe you a great debt.
**[20:47] SYLPHID**
If you need anything, let me know.
**[20:49] SYLPHID**
I'll help you if I have the time.
**[20:52] SYLPHID**
*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?
**[21:16] SYLPHID**
I'm a genius, you know.
**[21:19] SYLPHID**
Make good use of it,
**[21:21] SYLPHID**
Overseas Manager.
**[21:26] UCHIMURA**
I will.
**[21:31] UCHIMURA**
Now then.
**[21:32] UCHIMURA**
I'll just do a bit more overtime today.
**[21:35] ULMANDRA**
Uchimura!
**[21:36] ULMANDRA**
I heard from Olulu!
**[21:37] ULMANDRA**
Why didn't you tell me you were
doing research with Sylphid?
**[21:41] ULMANDRA**
I look like an idiot for
getting the wrong idea!
**[21:45] ULMANDRA**
Wait, that's right. You gave me this.
**[21:50] ULMANDRA**
You'd never get involved with another woman.
**[21:53] ULMANDRA**
What's wrong, Uchimura?
**[21:55] ULMANDRA**
Wake up, Uchimura!
**[21:57] ULMANDRA**
Did Sylphid do this to you?
**[21:59] ULMANDRA**
Shall I avenge you?
**[22:00] UCHIMURA**
Please stop shaking me...
**[22:01] ULMANDRA**
Hang in there, Uchimura!

W-Well, this is the liveliest marketplace
in the Demon Army's castle town.
**[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**

**[03:42] ULMANDRA**

*Cute?! Me?!*
**[03:47] (Flashback) OLULU**

**[03:57] (Flashback) ULMANDRA**
W-W-What should I do?!
**[04:00] (Flashback) OLULU**
Please calm down.
**[04:01] (Flashback) ULMANDRA**

**[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!

*Thank you, Olulu!*
**[04:36] ULMANDRA {M}**
* Thanks to you, I think this*

**[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

**[10:04] CHIMO**

**[10:06] CHIMO/ZUMO**

**[10:08] UCHIMURA/ULMANDRA**

**[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!*
**[20:13] ULMANDRA**
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.
**[21:55] DEMON OVERLORD**
The King of the Golden Country
of Rampage is formidable.

**[00:04] UCHIMURA {M}**
* 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
that he got fed to a crocodile.
**[00:54] UCHIMURA {M}**
*Got fed to a crocodile?*
**[01:00] ULMANDRA**
You have your wallet?
**[01:02] ULMANDRA**
You have the offerings, too, right?
**[01:03] ULMANDRA**
If you get motion sickness,
ask them to stop!
**[01:05] ULMANDRA**
Don't take any bribes!
**[01:07] ULMANDRA**
Don't get crushed by elephants!
**[01:09] ULMANDRA**
Be careful of beautiful
women out to entertain you!
***SIGN*** Episode 6:

**[02:50] UCHIMURA**
So this is it.
**[02:51] UCHIMURA**
The Golden Country, the Rampage Kingdom!
**[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.
***SIGN*** Export
***SIGN*** Import
***SIGN*** Export
**[03:06] UCHIMURA {M}**
However, with the influx in population
due to the annexation policy,
**[03:09] UCHIMURA {M}**
not only is the consumption
of crops on the rise,
***SIGN*** Import
**[03:12] UCHIMURA {M}**
but also the importation of those crops.
***SIGN*** Export
***SIGN*** Import
**[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.*
**[04:04] GUARD**
You are in the presence of the Rampage King.
**[04:30] UCHIMURA**
I-I am truly honored to have
this opportunity to meet you.
**[04:34] UCHIMURA**
I am the newly appointed elite general
of the Demon Army, Uchimura...
**[04:38] RAMPAGE KING {overlap}**
Dennosuke Uchimura.
**[04:40] UCHIMURA**
Oh!
**[04:41] RAMPAGE KING {overlap}**
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.
**[07:20] RAMPAGE KING**
If it truly works.
**[07:22] UCHIMURA**
Huh?
**[07:24] RAMPAGE KING**
Let's see whether your story
is true or some made up crap.
**[07:29] RAMPAGE KING**
Prove it to me...
**[07:31] RAMPAGE KING**
With your life.
**[07:36] UCHIMURA {M}**
*A crocodile?!*
**[07:43] UCHIMURA {M}**
* Ms. Ulmandra! I'm being entertained by*
* a crocodile and not beautiful women!*
**[08:01] UCHIMURA**
Watch out!
**[08:10] RAMPAGE KING**
Hmph. It seems it really does work.
**[08:14] RAMPAGE KING**
Interesting.
**[08:15] RAMPAGE KING**
That equipment, too, but...
**[08:16] RAMPAGE KING**
You as well, brat.
**[08:18] UCHIMURA**
You mean... me?
**[08:20] RAMPAGE KING**
Though a commoner, you have the spirit
to try and stand equal before me.
**[08:24] RAMPAGE KING**
You possess a talent for negotiating.
**[08:26] RAMPAGE KING**
And above all, you are loyal, and immediately
act when a king's life is in danger.
**[08:31] RAMPAGE KING**
Very well. I shall buy
that Rosemarin of yours.
**[08:36] UCHIMURA**
Thank you very much!
**[08:43] UCHIMURA {M}**
*Gold!*
**[08:45] UCHIMURA {M}**
*One bar of this is equivalent to 700,000 G!*
**[08:48] RAMPAGE KING**
How many can you prepare?
**[08:50] UCHIMURA**
If you give us one month, we
can have 200 sets prepared...
**[08:53] RAMPAGE KING**
One week.
**[08:55] UCHIMURA**
Huh?
**[08:57] RAMPAGE KING**
I am the Golden King.
**[08:59] RAMPAGE KING**
If I order you to give it to me,
hand it over with gratitude.
**[09:07] RAMPAGE KING**
I'll take all of the Demon Army's
stones. I won't allow anything else.
**[09:14] SYLPHID (MAN)**
Two hundred sets in one week?!
**[09:18] SYLPHID (MAN)**
Of course it's impossible!
**[09:20] SYLPHID (MAN)**
We've only just begun to
mass produce Rosemarins.
**[09:23] SYLPHID (MAN)**
There's no way we could
increase the production rate!
**[09:27] UCHIMURA**
Please, there's gotta be
something you can do!
**[09:29] SYLPHID (MAN)**
Tch, there's already a rise in
domestic demand, you know?
**[09:33] SYLPHID (MAN)**
That must be real nice for you.
**[09:35] SYLPHID (MAN)**
Receiving praise for taking orders
without understanding the work involved.
**[09:39] UCHIMURA**
What?!
**[09:40] OLULU**
M-Mr. Sylphid!
**[09:41] OLULU**
Mr. Uchimura did it for
the sake of the Demon Army...
**[09:44] UCHIMURA**
W-Wait, Olulu!
**[09:46] OLULU**
Huh?
**[09:47] UCHIMURA {M}**
* Th-This situation totally happens*
* in companies all the time!*
**[09:51] SYLPHID (WOMAN) {M}**
* Right... The conflict between you,*
* who are unaware of the hardship on-site,*
**[09:54] SYLPHID (WOMAN) {M}**
* and those who are unaware of*
* your hardship out in the field.*
**[09:58] SYLPHID (WOMAN)**
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}**
* This guy... He seems to have a firm grasp*
* 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}**
* It's something that's*
* semi-permanently needed.*
**[13:23] UCHIMURA**
It's just as I had planned!

**[14:26] OLULU**
There's a problem!
**[14:27] OLULU**
All the orders have been canceled!
**[14:30] UCHIMURA**
What?!
**[14:35] UCHIMURA**
What do you mean they've
all been canceled?!
**[14:38] MESSENGER**
I'm terribly sorry for the sudden request...
**[14:40] MESSENGER**
But, the king claims he will
no longer buy the orders.
**[14:42] UCHIMURA**
Why is that?!
**[14:44] UCHIMURA**
The added order can be delivered right now!
**[14:46] UCHIMURA**
You'll need replacements, I'm sure!
**[14:48] MESSENGER**
He stated that he will
buy it from elsewhere...
**[14:50] UCHIMURA**
What?!
**[14:51] MESSENGER**
The merchants in our country
have a similar product,
**[14:55] MESSENGER**
and it's half the price.
**[14:57] MESSENGER**
So in the future,
we will be buying from them...
**[14:59] UCHIMURA**
What the...?!
**[15:00] UCHIMURA {M}**
*That can't be. Impossible...*
**[15:02] UCHIMURA {M}**
*A product similar to ours...?!*
**[15:04] FACTORY CRAFTSMAN A**
This wasn't our deal!
**[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.

**[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**
Huh?
**[18:48] SYLPHID**
Since the orders stopped, I can
finally read it, so go on.
**[18:51] SYLPHID**
Be gone. Be gone.
**[18:53] UCHIMURA**
Oh...
**[18:56] UCHIMURA{M}**
*Now, who else to contact...*
**[19:02] UCHIMURA**
Wh-Who...
**[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**
Olulu.
**[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**
Olulu...
**[20:59] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Sylphid, and
**[21:00] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Gnome, too...
**[21:02] UCHIMURA**

colleagues like you guys...

**[21:23] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD**
I look forward to your future endeavors!
**[21:25] UCHIMURA**
Yes, Demon Overlord, sir...
**[21:29] UCHIMURA**
I'll turn over this failure!
**[21:33] RAMPAGE KING**
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...
**[21:46] BUTAGALIAN**
If there is anything the king
desires, we prepare it immediately.
**[21:50] BUTAGALIAN**
A given if you're a merchant.
**[21:53] RAMPAGE KING**
Just what means did you use?
**[21:56] BUTAGALIAN**
Ah, my king. Now that...
**[21:59] BUTAGALIAN**
is top secret.

Is some village reselling the Rosemarin

**[01:35] UCHIMURA {M}**
* But the ones distributed*

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...
**[11:49] (Flashback) SYLPHID**
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}**

**[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?*
**[19:30] UCHIMURA**
Mr. Butagalian...

Mr. Uchimura!

**[19:54] BUTAGALIAN**
You guys...
**[20:01] DEMON 1**
I'm so glad!
**[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*
* can do about it, but...*
**[01:13] UCHIMURA {M}**
* Anyhow, the first thing is to*
* meet with the guild master...*
**[01:17] UNDERLING A**
My lord, one of the Four Elite Generals
has requested an audience with you.
**[01:22] UNDERLING A**
What would you like to do?
**[01:23] VIPER**
Oh, an elite general, huh?
**[01:26] VIPER**
What would be the most
fun way to handle this?
***SIGN*** Episode 8:

**[03:06] UCHIMURA**
All right, Olulu, I'm off.
**[03:08] OLULU**
Yes. Please do be careful.
**[03:12] SYLPHID**
I heard the news, Overseas Manager.
**[03:14] SYLPHID**
Sounds like you're going to the guild.
**[03:15] UCHIMURA**
Huh?
**[03:16] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Sylphid... Why are
you dressed like that?
**[03:20] SYLPHID**
I told you to call me Belinda
when we're outside.
**[03:23] UCHIMURA**
Oh, my apologies, Ms. Belinda.
**[03:25] UCHIMURA**
Yes, I am heading to the
guild, but what about it?
**[03:27] SYLPHID**
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.
**[03:50] UCHIMURA**
I see. So that's why...
**[03:57] UCHIMURA**
But aren't you worrying a bit too much?
**[04:00] UCHIMURA**
I'm going to this meeting
on behalf of the Demon Overlord.
**[04:03] UCHIMURA**
I can't imagine them not
taking him seriously.

Ah, sorry for making you wait for so long.
**[04:25] UCHIMURA**
Huh?!
**[04:26] VIPER**
I'd completely forgotten about it.
**[04:28] VIPER**
I am the guild master, Viper Lordpent.
**[04:33] VIPER**
A pleasure to meet you.
**[04:34] UCHIMURA**
Oh, it's all right...
**[04:35] SYLPHID**
You made us wait for four hours,
and you show no remorse.
**[04:39] SYLPHID**
Furthermore, the "guild master?"
**[04:41] SYLPHID**
Do you plan to claim the guild as your own?
**[04:43] VIPER**
You're...
**[04:44] SYLPHID**
Do you remember me? Though
I'd rather forget you.
**[04:48] VIPER**
Of course I remember.
How many years has it been?
**[04:53] VIPER**
Big Sister.
**[04:55] SYLPHID**
Die. I'll kill you.
**[04:57] UCHIMURA {M}**
*Big Sister... They're siblings?!*
**[04:59] VIPER**
To think I'd be reunited
with my exiled big sister.
**[05:03] VIPER**
Fate certainly is unpleasant.
**[05:04] SYLPHID**
Fate?
**[05:05] SYLPHID**
It's a curse.
**[05:08] SYLPHID**
It makes me sick to think we're blood-related.
**[05:10] SYLPHID**
You shameless House of Lordpent scum.
**[05:16] VIPER**
Did you come all this way just to complain?
**[05:18] VIPER**
That's rich.
**[05:19] SYLPHID**
Hmph. The one with business is him.
**[05:21] UCHIMURA {M}**
*You're passing it along to me now?!*
**[05:23] UCHIMURA**
U-Um, nice to meet you, Guild Master.
**[05:25] UCHIMURA**
I am Uchimura of the Four Elite Generals.
**[05:27] UCHIMURA**
I came to trade gim today.
**[05:29] UCHIMURA**
If you have stock of it, would
you mind selling some to me?
**[05:32] VIPER**
Ah, the amount in circulation
is low these days, isn't it?
**[05:36] VIPER**
We have a little in stock, but there are
a ton of people who wish to buy it.
**[05:40] VIPER**
If you want me to sell it to you...
**[05:43] VIPER**
Grovel.
**[05:44] UCHIMURA/SYLPHID**
Wha...?!
**[05:47] VIPER**
Rub your head onto the floor.
**[05:49] VIPER**
Showing sincerity is the basis of business.
**[05:52] SYLPHID**
Why you...!
**[05:55] UCHIMURA**
Please allow me to trade with you.
**[05:59] SYLPHID**
Uchimura...
**[06:05] VIPER**
Oh man, I'm kidding, I'm kidding!
**[06:07] VIPER**
You're a funny guy!
**[06:09] VIPER**
Trading, was it? Yeah, I don't mind.
**[06:11] VIPER**
Buy as much as you'd like.
**[06:14] VIPER**
One bag for 50,000 G.
**[06:16] VIPER**
The market price.
**[06:18] UCHIMURA**
Fifty thousand G?
**[06:19] VIPER**
If you don't like it, leave it.
**[06:21] VIPER**
It's business for us, too, you know.
**[06:23] VIPER**
Oh, but one piece of advice to you.
**[06:26] VIPER**
You're a bit too careless,
easily groveling like that.
**[06:30] VIPER**
If the world makes a mockery
of you, you're done for.
**[06:44] SYLPHID**
All right, let's burn it down.
**[06:45] SYLPHID**
Elves are weak to fire.
**[06:47] UCHIMURA**
I think most living things are weak to fire.
**[06:49] SYLPHID**
You should get angry, too!
**[06:51] SYLPHID**
Aren't you frustrated about
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!
**[08:47] UCHIMURA**
Oh...
***SIGN*** Stare
***SIGN*** Stare
**[08:52] UCHIMURA**
Hm...
**[08:53] SYLPHID {M}**
* He's staring at the young girl's*
* body as if he's licking it?!*
**[08:57] NEIA**
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
***SIGN*** Fake
**[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?
***SIGN*** Trade
***SIGN*** Guild
***SIGN*** Affiliation
***SIGN*** Trade
***SIGN*** Lordpent Family
**[14:53] SYLPHID**
It wasn't the guild as an organization
**[14:54] SYLPHID**
but the Lordpent Family who did the trade?
**[14:57] UCHIMURA**
Oh. Good thought.
**[14:59] UCHIMURA**
If that's the case, it wouldn't be
recorded in the guild's ledgers.
**[15:02] SYLPHID**
They're making the producers think
they're trading with the guild.
***SIGN*** This person is
from the
guild, so...
**[15:06] SYLPHID**
It's a scam. A scam, I say.
**[15:07] UCHIMURA**
Even so, it's difficult to pursue
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.
**[15:49] VIPER**
Secrets get quickly leaked,
and plans backfire.
**[15:52] VIPER**
It's incredibly fun having
an overwhelming advantage.
**[15:56] VIPER**
Don't you agree?
**[15:58] NEIA**
Yes, Master Viper.
**[16:00] VIPER**
Thanks to you, I was well prepared.
**[16:04] VIPER**
Just this one time, I'll praise you.
**[16:07] NEIA**
U-Um... The gim that was in the
warehouse, where is it now?
**[16:10] VIPER**
Huh?
**[16:11] VIPER**
Why are you questioning the guild master?
**[16:13] VIPER**
Imma rip your tongue out!
**[16:15] NEIA**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
**[16:30] VIPER**
I'm kidding. Don't be so
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**
Even though they must be busy
with their own business.
**[17:03] VIPER**
They're being a huge help.
**[17:05] VIPER**
Little Neia, you do your best as well.
**[17:07] VIPER**
For the sake of your mom and dad, all right?
**[17:18] NEIA {M}**
*Why was I born like this?*
**[17:21] NEIA {M}**
*Born part of a Lordpent branch family.*
**[17:23] NEIA {M}**
* The child of the lowest*
* of the lowest rank...*
**[17:35] (Flashback) VIPER**
Let me have that child.
**[17:37] (Flashback) VIPER**
I've wanted a child to
replace my secretary.
**[17:43] (Flashback) NEIA (DAD)**
I'm sorry, Neia...
**[17:45] (Flashback) NEIA (MOM)**
I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
**[17:47] (Flashback) NEIA**
It's okay. I know... We can't
refuse the main house's orders...
**[17:52] NEIA {M}**
*In truth, I really wanted them to stop him.*
**[17:54] NEIA {M}**
* Even if they had to abandon their home,*
* I wanted them to protect me.*
**[18:05] NEIA {M}**
* What awaited me was daily*
* abuse from the guild master.*
**[18:16] (Flashback) VIPER**
Looking at you reminds me
of my miserable big sister.
**[18:19] (Flashback) VIPER**
Just because you're a bit smarter, you
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**
Grow, grow. Please grow long!
**[18:41] NEIA {M}**
*It was ridiculous, but I was desperate.*
**[18:42] NEIA {overlapped in background}**
Grow, grow. Grow. Please, grow.
**[18:43] NEIA {M}**
* Even so, the irrational violence*
* continued... Then on that day...*
**[18:47] (Flashback) VIPER**
Be a spy in the Demon Army.
Bring back some information.
**[18:53] (Flashback) VIPER**
That Uchimura guy is a softy.
**[18:55] (Flashback) VIPER**
If you look a little pitiful, he'll
immediately sympathize with you.
**[18:59] NEIA {M}**
* I didn't know what would*
* happen if he found out...*
**[19:02] NEIA {M}**
*This man only thinks of me as a pawn.*
**[19:06] (Flashback) NEIA**
Understood.
**[19:11] NEIA {M}**
*That was all I could do...*
**[19:24] CHILD**
Mom, I'm hungry...
**[19:26] MOTHER**
I'm sorry. I'm sorry...
**[19:28] UCHIMURA {M}**
*The townspeople look gloomy...*
**[19:31] UCHIMURA {M}**
*Everyone is hungry...*

They're abusing their positions

Uchimura.
**[20:55] ULMANDRA**
Hey, Uchimura!
**[20:56] UCHIMURA**
Oh!
**[20:58] ULMANDRA**
What are you doing daydreaming
in the middle of the road?
**[21:00] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Ulmandra. Are you
returning from the north?
**[21:03] ULMANDRA**
Yeah. Look at that!
**[21:06] UCHIMURA**
Whoa?! It's huge!
**[21:07] ULMANDRA**
It's a wyvern. You know what that is?
**[21:09] UCHIMURA**
Yes... I've read about them.
**[21:12] UCHIMURA**
Isn't it a flying dragon that assaults towns
**[21:13] UCHIMURA**
and threatens people's lives in groups?
**[21:16] ULMANDRA**
Right!
**[21:17] ULMANDRA**
They were raging up north, so I
went there to get rid of them.
**[21:20] ULMANDRA**
I defeated about 30 of them in total.
**[21:22] ULMANDRA**
And I brought one back as
a souvenir for the Demon Overlord!
**[21:24] UCHIMURA**
Is that what happened...
**[21:26] UCHIMURA**
Wait, weren't wyverns...
**[21:28] ULMANDRA**
Well, I'm glad it was only 30 of them.
**[21:31] ULMANDRA**
They're pretty troublesome.
**[21:33] ULMANDRA**
That said, it's nothing to me.
**[21:37] UCHIMURA**
Thirty wyverns...
**[21:40] UCHIMURA**
That's it, Ms. Ulmandra!
**[21:41] ULMANDRA**
Huh? W-What?
**[21:43] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Ulmandra, as expected,
you truly are wonderful!
**[21:46] ULMANDRA**
Huh? D-Don't say stuff like that out loud.
**[21:50] ULMANDRA**
It's embarrassing...
**[21:53] ULMANDRA**
Huh?
**[21:55] UCHIMURA**
That's right...
**[21:57] UCHIMURA**
If we use this, it'll work...!

**[00:03] NEIA**
I'm sorry for being late!
**[00:05] NEIA**
Thank you for having me today!
**[00:07] UCHIMURA**
My apologies for inconveniencing you.
**[00:09] UCHIMURA**
I was hoping you could assist us again.
**[00:12] NEIA**
Yes, if there's anything I can do to help!
**[00:17] SYLPHID**
And? What are we going to do now?
**[00:18] SYLPHID**
Now that the audit failed,
there isn't much we can do.
**[00:22] UCHIMURA**
At least, we know the gim is
not at the guild, and so...
**[00:26] UCHIMURA**
I've devised a plan.
**[00:28] UCHIMURA**
The name of the operation is...

Dragon Strike!

This little girl is an informant.
Just an informant, so...

Hm?
**[02:33] ULMANDRA**
Oh, is she?
**[02:35] SYLPHID**
Yes.
**[02:35] SYLPHID {M}**
* Well, Uchimura does have a*

Oh, right.

**[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

**[23:41] MASTER**

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...
***SIGN*** Calamity
***SIGN*** Demon Fort
***SIGN*** Lake
***SIGN*** Demon Army Territory
**[03:30] ULMANDRA**
Their attacks seem to
be focused solely on this citadel.
***SIGN*** Episode 10: Sword and Shield
**[03:36] UCHIMURA**
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!*
**[13:04] UCHIMURA**
Listen up! My strong warriors!
**[13:06] UCHIMURA**
I am one of the Four Elite Generals,
the Overseas Manager, Uchimura!
**[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!
**[14:11] UCHIMURA**
You will become the "sword" and
"shield" to counter the calamity!
**[14:14] UCHIMURA**
I call this Operation Sword and Shield!
***SIGN*** Sword and Shield

**[14:51] MASTER**
On the house.
**[15:08] GNOME**
It's here.
**[15:09] URUZU**
It's the wyverns!
**[15:11] GNOME**
Lock them down before they break through!
**[15:13] URUZU**
Yes, ma'am!
**[15:22] UCHIMURA {M}**
*In Operation Sword and Shield,*
**[15:24] UCHIMURA {M}**
* the role of the demi-humans*
* is to create a diversion!*
**[15:26] UCHIMURA {M}**
* As the shield, they will prevent enemy*
* intrusion and draw their attention.*
**[15:29] UCHIMURA {M}**
*Furthermore!*
**[15:34] LILIM**
It's the sound of the bell!
**[15:36] ULMANDRA**
Charge!
**[15:38] UCHIMURA {M}**
* 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!*
**[15:47] GNOME**
Cease fire!
**[15:49] ULMANDRA**
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.*
**[16:15] UCHIMURA {M}**
* The demi-humans, who work well*
* in organized group warfare.*
**[16:17] UCHIMURA {M}**
* 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...
**[21:58] UCHIMURA**

**[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,
**[00:26] UCHIMURA**
I wouldn't have sent her home early...
**[00:29] ULMANDRA**
U... chi... mu... ra...
**[00:33] ULMANDRA**
I'm... tellin'... you...
eat... more... meat...
**[00:37] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Ulmandra...
**[00:40] UCHIMURA**
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!*

What are you doing, Uchimura?

Huh?

Demon... Overlord?
**[04:55] UCHIMURA**
What?! D-Demon Overlord...
**[04:57] UCHIMURA**
What are you doing in a place like this?
**[04:59] UCHIMURA**
Is it all right for you to
be away from your throne?
**[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
mother often did this for me.
**[11:49] GNOME**
Do you feel a little relieved?
**[11:51] UCHIMURA**
Y-Yes...
**[11:53] GNOME**
Uchimura, you are essential
to the Demon Army.
**[11:56] GNOME**
You cannot break.
**[11:59] GNOME**
Besides, you have friends.
**[12:02] GNOME**
Rely on them.
**[12:04] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Gnome...
**[12:07] GNOME**
What are you doing?
**[12:09] GNOME**
Let's go issue formation orders!
**[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**
Left! Attack the left side!
**[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**
Did we annihilate them?
**[14:26] GNOME**
What's going on up there?
**[14:35] UCHIMURA**
The wyverns stopped coming...
**[14:43] UCHIMURA**
What?!
**[14:54] UCHIMURA**
That's...
**[15:12] UCHIMURA**
* Not good. Not good. Not good.*
* Not good. Not good. Not good.*
**[15:22] UCHIMURA**
*What is that, a monster?*
**[15:27] UCHIMURA**
What should we do... What should we do?!
**[15:30] UCHIMURA**
First, we need to let the
demi-humans escape...
**[15:42] UCHIMURA {M}**
*Not good! Not good. Not good.*
**[15:44] UCHIMURA {M}**
* Not good. Not good. Not good.*
* Not good. Not good.*
**[15:55] ULMANDRA**
Kept you waitin', huh, Uchimura?
**[15:58] UCHIMURA**
Huh?! Ms. Ulmandra?!
**[16:00] ULMANDRA**
Hehehe, go me.
**[16:03] ULMANDRA**
I heard you and everyone were in danger,
**[16:06] ULMANDRA**
and I couldn't sleep, so I hurried on over.
**[16:09] UCHIMURA**
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!
**[20:07] DEMON OVERLORD**
Fall, Mega Death!
**[20:19] DEMON OVERLORD**
You're going to endure it, I see.
**[20:21] DEMON OVERLORD**
Then...
**[20:22] DEMON OVERLORD**
Conceptual ritual, recommence!
**[20:35] DEMON OVERLORD**
Perish, Giga Death!
**[21:15] UCHIMURA**
This is... the Demon Overlord...
**[21:17] DEMON OVERLORD**
Uchimura.
**[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!
**[21:59] UCHIMURA**
Ms. Ulmandra... Are *you* the calamity?!

Overseas Manager, Dennosuke Uchimura!
**[00:58] UCHIMURA**
Yes, sir!
**[01:02] DEMON OVERLORD**
Uchimura, you've done well.
**[01:11] 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.
**[02:12] UCHIMURA**
Huh?
**[03:45] UCHIMURA**
What did you just say?
***SIGN*** Episode 12:
How to Find Your Way of Life
**[03:48] DEMON OVERLORD**
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**
Big Sister...
**[09:32] NEIA**
What is Mr. Uchimura doing?
**[09:39] UCHIMURA**
All right. This should do as
a takeover manual for Olulu.
**[09:43] UCHIMURA**
All that's left is to file the necessary
documents for each case.
**[09:54] UCHIMURA**
Oh, hey! It's a letter from
the chimozu-selling couple!
**[09:58] ZUMO**
* Thank you very much for*
* your help the other day.*
**[10:01] CHIMO**
* Even after that, many people*
* have continued their patronage.*
**[10:05] CHIMO**
*Thanks to you, we're very prosperous.*
**[10:08] CHIMO/ZUMO**
*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.
**[10:23] UCHIMURA**
After all, the hardest part is...
**[10:28] UCHIMURA**
saying goodbye...
**[10:31] NEIA**
Is Mr. Uchimura...?
**[10:33] OLULU**
We must tell Ms. Ulmandra!
**[10:41] UCHIMURA {M}**
* I would like to announce my resignation*
* due to personal reasons.*

**[11:10] UCHIMURA**
So much has happened.
**[11:14] UCHIMURA**
It was one confusing thing after another...
**[11:17] UCHIMURA**
but I had good colleagues and subordinates.
**[11:19] UCHIMURA**
And above all...
**[11:23] UCHIMURA**
I had the best boss.
**[11:26] UCHIMURA**
*It really was a great workplace.*
**[11:34] UCHIMURA**
*It's such a great workplace and....*
**[11:37] UCHIMURA**
*Am I really going to quit?*
**[11:39] UCHIMURA**
*Because I'm weak?*
**[11:46] UCHIMURA**
Huh? Master, I didn't order this.
**[11:49] MASTER**
On the house.
***SIGN*** Demon Overlordy
**[11:53] UCHIMURA**
This, too?
**[11:54] UCHIMURA**
And, this?
**[11:56] UCHIMURA**
This one, too?
**[11:56] UCHIMURA**
And this?
**[11:57] UCHIMURA**
No matter how you look at it,
this is way too much on the house.
**[12:00] MASTER**
I'll be closing after today, so...
**[12:02] UCHIMURA**
What?
**[12:05] MASTER**
Now then...
**[12:06] UCHIMURA**
What?!
**[12:07] UCHIMURA**
W-Wait a minute.
**[12:08] UCHIMURA**
This is all too sudden.
**[12:09] UCHIMURA**
If this place closes, what am I going to...
**[12:17] MASTER**
You no longer need this establishment.
**[12:21] UCHIMURA**
What?!
**[12:24] MASTER**
It's something you should
understand yourself the most.
**[12:29] UCHIMURA**
I don't need it?
**[12:38] UCHIMURA**
What do you mean?
**[12:42] UCHIMURA {M}**
* No. I need to go around*
* to say my final goodbyes.*
**[12:48] GNOME**
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!
