[00:01] Batutta
    The Paladin Brigade
[00:03] Batutta
    is a group of adventurers that I organized
[00:06] Batutta
    to protect the priests
    in this dangerous city.
[00:09] Batutta
    It's true that due to my failings,
[00:11] Batutta
    their violent behavior has stood out.
[00:14] Lumachina
    So you promise to correct
    their behavior, then?
[00:19] Batutta
    Of course.
[00:21] Lumachina
    By the way,
[00:22] Lumachina
    this city is plagued with what's known
    as the Death Knell Disease, isn't it?
[00:26] Batutta
    Yes, it's a terrifying illness.
[00:28] Lumachina
    Illness?
[00:30] Lumachina
    You believe that, as well?
[00:33] Batutta
    Pardon me?
[00:34] Lumachina
    Well, it's not an illness,
[00:37] Lumachina
    but a curse, right?
[00:41] Batutta
    Why do you think that?
[00:43] Lumachina
    I knew it.
[00:44] Lumachina
    When I prayed on behalf of that child,
[00:47] Lumachina
    I heard the voice of God.
[00:49] Lumachina
    It told me that someone is
    casting a large-scale curse
[00:53] Lumachina
    to threaten the lives of
    the people in this city.
[00:57] Lumachina
    Does that ring any bells?
[01:02] Batutta
    Goodness, I didn't think you had noticed.
[01:05] Lumachina
    Head Paladin Batutta?!
[01:10] Lumachina
    What is...
[01:17] Rem
    Lumachina?!
[01:18] Rem
    Lumachina?!
[01:20] Rem
    So you've been—
[01:24] Rem
    D-Dia...blo...
[01:32] Batutta
    Looks like the sleeping
    drugs finally kicked in.
[01:35] Batutta
    You sure wasted my time.
[01:37] Batutta
    Shiliu!
[01:39] Shiliu
    Yes.
[03:11] Shera
    There...
SIGN    Episode 3 "Corrupt Ritual"
[03:14] Shera
    and there...
[03:15] Shera
    and there...
[03:18] Shera
    And that does it!
[03:19] Shera
    How was it?
[03:21] Diablo
    It felt real good.
[03:25] Diablo
    Who goes there?!
[03:27] Horn
    W-Wait, wait!
[03:28] Horn
    Mister, it's me!
[03:31] Diablo
    You're...
[03:34] Diablo
    Do the adventurers of this town
    explore other people's homes?
[03:38] Horn
    I-I came here to see you!
[03:40] Shera
    There's curry on your mouth.
[03:44] Horn
    There were leftovers out...
[03:46] Horn
    Anyway, forget that! Mister!
[03:53] Shera
    Diablo, this is...
[03:55] Horn
    See? It's just like I told you!
[03:58] Horn
    Batutta's taken your friends away!
[04:01] Shera
    What do we do? We really
    shouldn't have trusted him!
[04:05] Diablo
    I didn't think he'd make a move this soon.
[04:08] Diablo
    We still needed to recover
    ourselves first, too.
[04:11] Shera
    What do you mean?
[04:13] Diablo
    The Death Knell Disease.
[04:14] Shera
    Huh?
[04:15] Diablo
    It is a curse.
[04:18] Both
    What?!
[04:19] Diablo
    I can't just tell them I saw it as a
    limited-time event in Cross Reverie*.
[04:25] Diablo
    At any rate, for now,
[04:27] Diablo
    we need to get Rem and Lumachina back.
[04:31] Diablo
    Let's go!
[04:32] Shera
    Yeah!
[04:32] Horn
    Right!
[04:43] Rem
    What on earth is this?
[04:45] Lumachina
    You've come to?
[04:47] Rem
    Lumachina?!
[04:48] Lumachina
    I was already here when I came to, as well.
[04:57] Rem
    It looks like we're underground somewhere.
[04:59] Rem
    And pretty deep, too.
[05:01] Lumachina
    Rem-san...
[05:03] Lumachina
    By the way, what are those people doing?
[05:16] Rem
    Wh-Wh-Wha—
[05:17] Lumachina
    Rem-san?
[05:18] Rem
    I-I-I believe they're...
[05:21] Rem
    doing that.
[05:23] Lumachina
    Huh? What do you mean by "that"?
[05:25] Rem
    It's...
[05:27] Batutta
    You two!
[05:28] Batutta
    How do you like being on
    the altar for our ritual?
[05:32] Rem
    Batutta!
[05:33] Lumachina
    What are you talking about?!
[05:35] Lumachina
    This place is filled with evil!
[05:38] Lumachina
    Such a repulsive altar would never—
[05:40] Batutta
    Exactly.
[05:42] Batutta
    What we have here is corruption.
[05:46] Rem
    What are you planning to do with us?
[05:48] Batutta
    Shiliu.
[05:50] Shiliu
    Yes.
[05:52] Batutta
    Behold.
[05:53] Batutta
    That is the concentrate that
    causes the Death Knell Disease.
[05:57] Batutta
    This concentrate can be produced
    from the essence of evil.
[06:01] Batutta
    It's literally the source of evil itself.
[06:03] Batutta
    Now, how does one obtain
    this essence of evil?
[06:07] Batutta
    They're like beasts, aren't they?
[06:10] Batutta
    Yet they were all once devout believers.
[06:14] Batutta
    Their faith was strong,
[06:15] Batutta
    and they were virtuous men and chaste
    women with a sense of justice.
[06:20] Batutta
    But all it takes is a little push
    on the back to make people fall!
[06:27] Batutta
    Fornication, bloodshed, gluttony...
[06:29] Batutta
    When a person falls,
    the essence of evil is created!
[06:33] Rem
    S-So you make people
    commit sins in this place?
[06:36] Lumachina
    That's...
[06:38] Lumachina
    That's just...
[06:40] Lumachina
    Ah, God...
[06:42] Batutta
    My research has shown that those
    who can use more powerful miracles
[06:46] Batutta
    produce richer essence
    of evil when they fall.
[06:49] Batutta
    Which also means it should
    produce a stronger concentrate.
[06:54] Lumachina
    You want to inflict the Death
    Knell Disease on that many people?!
[06:58] Batutta
    That many? Not at all.
[07:00] Batutta
    I'm only targeting one person right now.
[07:03] Batutta
    Just the lord, Laminitus.
[07:07] Rem
    All for that?
[07:09] Lumachina
    Why are you committing such a great sin?
[07:12] Lumachina
    I heard you were a noble man.
[07:15] Lumachina
    What happened to you?
[07:18] Batutta
    My family was killed.
[07:20] Batutta
    I was betrayed by my best friend.
[07:22] Batutta
    I was threatened by Fallen.
[07:27] Batutta
    Would you be satisfied with
    tear-jerking backstories like those?
[07:34] Batutta
    There is no real reason.
[07:36] Batutta
    People are just greedy and sinful.
[07:38] Lumachina
    But you...
[07:40] Batutta
    I can't wait...
[07:42] Batutta
    to watch the Head Priest, the highest
    member of the Church, fall into lust.
[07:49] Batutta
    Shiliu, I'll leave the rest to you.
[07:51] Shiliu
    As you wish, Master.
[07:54] Shiliu
    Getting to corrupt such a beautiful
    woman is so exciting.
[08:00] Shiliu
    Soon enough, you'll be begging
    me to give you more.
[08:07] Shiliu
    Now, I'll lick you...
[08:12] Shiliu
    to your very depths.
[08:16] Lumachina
    No!
[08:21] Lumachina
    N-No!
[08:38] Shera
    Rem and Lumachina-chan!
[08:41] Shera
    Diablo!
[08:42] Diablo
    I know.
[08:43] Diablo
    In the game, this place was where*
    the Death Knell Disease's event boss...
[08:49] Diablo
    Hmm?
[08:50] Diablo
    That stuff around us...
[08:53] Diablo
    Wh-What is this?!
[08:55] Diablo
    Cross Reverie never had plot
    developments right out of an eroge!
[09:00] Batutta
    I knew you'd show up.
[09:02] Batutta
    Diablo, was it?
[09:04] Batutta
    I'm impressed you found this place.
[09:07] Diablo
    It was easy.
[09:09] Diablo
    Your subordinates in the
    Paladin Brigade were very helpful.
[09:15] Diablo
    They were quick to tell me when I asked.
[09:20] Diablo
    Batutta,
[09:21] Diablo
    just what is this place?
[09:23] Batutta
    If you're a first-rate sorcerer,
    then can't you tell?
[09:29] Diablo
    I wasn't a first-rate anything.
    I was just a shut-in gamer.
[09:33] Diablo
    You're casting the curse for the
    Death Knell Disease, aren't you?
[09:37] Batutta
    Oh? Did you hear about that from Lumachina?
[09:40] Diablo
    You're saying she realized it, too?
[09:43] Batutta
    Hmm? You didn't hear about it from her?
[09:45] Diablo
    Who do you think I am?
[09:47] Diablo
    I am Diablo, the Demon Lord
     from another world!
[09:50] Batutta
    What nonsense!
[09:52] Diablo
    Hardly anyone really believes that...

    Yay! Yay! Yay!

[09:56] Diablo
    Rem and Shera were so trusting,
    believing me that easily.
[10:02] Diablo
    You learned about the Death Knell Disease
    curse from the Fallen, didn't you?
[10:06] Batutta
    H-How did you—
[10:08] Diablo
    Bingo!
[10:10] Diablo
    It's because the ones casting
    that curse here were the Fallen.
[10:14] Diablo
    I told you I'm a Demon Lord, didn't I?
[10:17] Diablo
    Now, release those two.
[10:20] Batutta
    You're clever,
[10:21] Batutta
    and you seem to be unreasonably strong, too,
[10:24] Batutta
    but what kinds of magic can you use here?
[10:28] Batutta
    And are you skilled at fighting on stairs?
[10:32] Batutta
    How many times can you
    evade me on these steps?
[10:36] Diablo
    You're the one who will struggle,
    unable to evade!
[10:39] Diablo
    Explosion!
[10:47] Both
    You did it!
[10:52] Diablo
    What is this?!
[11:00] Batutta
    Well, it's a dangerous place, isn't it?
[11:03] Batutta
    If the blast from your attack
    collapses the walls or the ceiling,
[11:06] Batutta
    what's going to happen to your friends?
[11:11] Diablo
    Why, you...
[11:13] Diablo
    He's right, they're brittle.
[11:15] Diablo
    I can't be reckless.
[11:16] Diablo
    And his movements are fast.
[11:19] Diablo
    Did he instantly dodge my attack?
[11:22] Diablo
    To hit him with that speed,
[11:24] Diablo
    I need a spell with a wider range.
[11:26] Batutta
    Not coming for me?
[11:28] Batutta
    Then I'll come for you!
[11:31] Diablo
    What level of magic should I use?!
[11:34] Batutta
    You hesitated, greenhorn!
[11:38] Diablo
    He's fast!
[11:49] Shera
    D-Diablo!
[11:52] Diablo
    You're quite good, Batutta.
[11:54] Batutta
    Whoops...
[11:57] Batutta
    You came here overconfident
    in your own strength,
[12:00] Batutta
    not realizing that you can't
    fully use your magic here.
[12:04] Batutta
    You might think you managed to
    pin down my secret location,
[12:08] Batutta
    but it was a trap to lure you in!
[12:11] Diablo
    Ow, ow...
[12:12] Diablo
    Shit!
[12:14] Diablo
    Don't underestimate a Demon Lord.
[12:16] Diablo
    How about this, then?
[12:18] Diablo
    Lightning Sphere!
[12:22] Diablo
    This spell only affects its target,
[12:24] Diablo
    and it doesn't blast the surroundings.
[12:27] Diablo
    Now, Batutta,
[12:29] Diablo
    try and overcome this one!
[12:31] Diablo
    Then he'll get blasted back by the
    Ground Mine I placed on the wall!
[12:37] Diablo
    What's wrong? He's not jumping at me?
[12:40] Batutta
    It's too easy to tell what you're after.
[12:55] Diablo
    No way...
[12:57] Batutta
    You lose!
[13:01] Diablo
    The Martial Art called Rising Spear?
[13:06] Diablo
    No! I can't avoid it!
[13:08] Diablo
    Then...
[13:16] Diablo
    It crushed my heart?!
[13:20] Diablo
    I'm...
[13:22] Shera
    Diablo... N-No!
[13:28] Diablo
    ...gonna die.
[13:35] Batutta
    I win.
[13:42] Batutta
    I always make flawless preparations
    and lure strong foes into my strategies
[13:47] Batutta
    to ensure I defeat them from
    an advantageous position!
[13:51] Shera
    Diablo! Diablo!
[13:54] Rem
    D-Diablo?
[14:03] Diablo
    I've caught you.
[14:06] Batutta
    H-How are you alive?!
[14:10] Diablo
    This spell can't be used
    without touching the target.
[14:18] Diablo
    Absolute Zero!
[14:21] Diablo
    Become an ice statue!
[14:36] Batutta
    Why, you...
[14:38] Diablo
    What's wrong?
[14:39] Diablo
    Wasn't losing your weapon and
    left arm part of your strategy, too?
[14:44] Diablo
    That hurts like hell!
[14:45] Diablo
    I seriously thought I'd die!
[14:47] Diablo
    If I was alone, I'd be screaming and sobbing!
[14:50] Diablo
    The cape I had equipped,
    the Curtain of Dark Clouds,
[14:53] Diablo
    allows me to survive any attack
    with just one hit point remaining.
[14:57] Diablo
    To think there'd come a time when I'd need it.
[14:59] Diablo
    And my Distorted Crown's auto-recovery
    has been activated, too.
[15:03] Batutta
    A-Are you telling me you're immortal?
[15:06] Batutta
    That's impossible!
[15:08] Batutta
    Shiliu!
[15:09] Shiliu
    Yes, Master.
[15:15] Shiliu
    Looks like your strategy
    ultimately triumphed, Master.
[15:20] Shera
    Rem!
[15:21] Rem
    Diablo!
[15:22] Rem
    Don't worry about me! Just fight!
[15:26] Diablo
    Why, you...
[15:28] Diablo
    I'll kill you!
[15:30] Diablo
    What do I do?
[15:40] Shera
    How's that? It's my Angel Shot!
[15:43] Diablo
    Shera, well done!
[15:55] Shera
    Huh? Huh?
[15:56] Shera
    She turned to stone?
[15:58] Diablo
    What?
[15:59] Diablo
    Is that an effect of Klem's magic power?
[16:01] Shera
    K-Klem-chan, this is too scary!
[16:05] Batutta
    Sh-Shiliu...
[16:07] Rem
    Shera!
[16:08] Horn
    Are you all right?
[16:10] Rem
    You're...
[16:12] Horn
    I wanted to prove to that guy
[16:15] Horn
    that I can be a little useful, too.
[16:17] Diablo
    Horn...
[16:21] Diablo
    Now, what will you do, Batutta?
[16:26] Diablo
    Good.
[16:27] Diablo
    We managed to win somehow.
[16:31] Batutta
    You will all sink into a sea of despair.
[16:35] Diablo
    What?
[16:36] Batutta
    Though it's unfortunate that I won't get
    to watch your faces fill with grief!
[16:42] Diablo
    Does he still want to fight?!
[16:46] Batutta
    Shining Blow!
[16:50] Diablo
    Darkness Cannon!
[17:06] Shera
    Diablo!
[17:13] Diablo
    It's no use!
[17:14] Diablo
    I am Diablo, the Demon Lord
     from another world!
[17:32] Shera
    Diablo!
[17:35] Diablo
    Shera?!
[17:36] Diablo
    Why did you come down here?!
[17:38] Diablo
    This place is about to collapse!
[17:40] Shera
    Yeah, that's why we need to get out fast!
[17:42] Shera
    Together with the others!
[17:48] Diablo
    She could have escaped by herself.
[17:52] Diablo
    Sheesh...
[18:01] Diablo
    Hold on tight.
[18:03] Shera
    Huh?
[18:14] Laminitus
    Who are you?!
[18:17] Varakness
    Pardon me for interrupting your bath.
[18:19] Varakness
    I am Varakness, the one appointed as the
    Grand General of the Demon Lord's Army.
[18:25] Varakness
    The Demon Lord has...
[18:27] Varakness
    His Majesty has awakened,
[18:29] Varakness
    so I've come to advise your surrender.
[18:32] Laminitus
    Surrender?
[18:34] Laminitus
    Is the Demon Lord planning
    to rule the people of this city?
[18:36] Varakness
    The Demon Lord's rule is merciful and fair.
[18:42] Varakness
    He'll have all of the mortal
    races commit suicide.
[18:46] Varakness
    That's far more merciful than allowing
    them to be devoured alive by monsters.
[18:51] Varakness
    What do you think?
[18:53] Laminitus
    My answer is...
[18:56] Laminitus
    You're an idiot!
[19:01] Varakness
    That's great!
[19:02] Varakness
    I love strong women.
[19:06] Laminitus
    Don't toy with me!
[19:13] Varakness
    Fanis Laminitus,
[19:14] Varakness
    I will not kill you.
[19:16] Varakness
    I shall add you to my harem.
[19:20] Laminitus
    Your harem?
[19:21] Varakness
    I shall come to collect you on
    the night of the next full moon.
[19:25] Varakness
    Be sure to pick out your
    wedding outfit, Fanis.
[19:30] Laminitus
    Don't use my first name so lightly!
[19:34] Laminitus
    That ruffian!
[19:38] Laminitus
    The night of the next full moon...
[19:45] Horn
    It's floating.
[19:47] Horn
    We're really floating.
[19:49] Rem
    Diablo, you always surpass
    our expectations with ease.
[19:56] Shera
    But it really was dangerous this time!
[20:00] Diablo
    That's true.
[20:01] (Flashback) Rem
    Diablo!
[20:03] (Flashback) Lumachina
    Diablo-sama!
[20:05] (Flashback) Diablo
    Stay close to me!
[20:11] (Flashback) Diablo
    Change your position as my will demands!
[20:15] (Flashback) Diablo
    Adzet!
[20:18] (Flashback) Diablo
    Rise!
[20:28] Diablo
    That really was a close call.
[20:29] Rem
    Lumachina?
[20:31] Shera
    L-Lumachina-chan?!
[20:32] Shera
    Hang in there, Lumachina-chan!
[20:34] Rem
    What's the matter? Are you all right?!
[20:40] Diablo
    This is the Death Knell Disease!
[20:42] Rem
    H-How?!
[20:43] Shera
    Why the Death Knell Disease?
[20:48] (Flashback) Batutta
    You will all sink into a sea of despair.
[20:54] Diablo
    He had already placed the curse on Lumachina?
[20:57] Shera
    That's right, Lumachina-chan!
[20:59] Shera
    Just pray for healing like
    you did for the baby!
[21:02] Diablo
    That's impossible.
[21:03] Diablo
    Lumachina's miracles won't work on herself.
[21:07] (Flashback) Lumachina
    The power of miracles
    won't work on my own body.
[21:12] Shera
    No way...
[21:14] Shera
    No! Lumachina-chan!
[21:17] Lumachina
    Please don't cry.
[21:20] Lumachina
    I'm sure this is also part of God's plan.
[21:24] Diablo
    Right.
[21:26] Rem
    Diablo!
[21:27] Horn
    Mister, that's just—
[21:29] Diablo
    Which is why you won't die yet!
[21:33] Lumachina
    Diablo-sama...
[21:36] Diablo
    You journeyed here to correct the
    rot within the Church, didn't you?!
