[00:03] Rem
Prevent a war?
[00:05] Sylvie
Yup.
[00:06] Sylvie
Assuming you don't want
to hand over Shera-chan.
[00:11] Sylvie
The Lord of Faltra City has received
demands from the Elven Kingdom
[00:14] ---
for Shera L. Greenwood to be handed over.
[00:18] Sylvie
The deadline is ten days from now,
[00:20] Sylvie
and they say they're not afraid to
wage war if their demands aren't met.
[00:25] Shera
No way...
[00:27] Sylvie
What'll you do, Diablo-san?
SIGN Episode Five
Imperial Knight
[02:01] Shera
You're kidding...
[02:03] Shera
You're kidding, right?
[02:05] Shera
Greenwood is going to war with
the Kingdom of Lyferia over me?
[02:10] Sylvie
At this rate, yeah.
[02:12] Sylvie
That's why the lord and
I are both in trouble.
[02:15] Diablo
Back then...
[02:16] Diablo
Shera made her feelings known and clearly
told them she didn't want to go home.
[02:21] Diablo
They still haven't given up?
[02:24] Sylvie
So...
[02:26] Sylvie
We'd like you to work out a way
to prevent this war, Diablo-san.
[02:30] Sylvie
Okay?
SIGN I absolutely refuse!
[02:32] Diablo
I absolutely refuse!
[02:35] Diablo
How am I supposed to prevent a war?!
SIGN Rant
SIGN Rant
[02:38] Diablo
Negotiate?
SIGN Gripe
[02:39] Diablo
If had the communication
skills to do that,
SIGN Gripe
[02:40] ---
I wouldn't be struggling to keep
faking this Demon Lord persona!
[02:43] Diablo
That's something the people
in power should figure out!
[02:46] Diablo
But reality never works out that way.
[02:49] Diablo
What do I do to protect Shera?
[02:52] Diablo
What should I do?
[02:54] Sylvie
By the way, Prince Keera from
the Kingdom of Greenwood
[02:57] ---
has put a huge bounty on Shera-chan.
[03:00] Diablo
What?!
[03:02] Shera
Nii-san did?!
[03:03] Rem
Absurd.
[03:04] Sylvie
The reward is enough for a commoner
to goof off for the rest of their life.
[03:08] Sylvie
From now on, you'll never know when or where
[03:10] ---
some imprudent adventurer will
try to go after Shera-chan.
[03:13] Sylvie
You'd be better off not going outside at all.
[03:16] Shera
That's...
[03:18] Shera
That's just...
[03:20] Rem
Shera...
[03:22] Rem
Diablo?!
[03:24] Diablo
He placed a bounty on his own little sister?
[03:27] Diablo
Screw him!
[03:28] Diablo
If there's any fool out there blinded by greed,
[03:32] Diablo
I'll make them regret challenging me!
[03:35] Rem
Diablo!
[03:37] Diablo
You belong to me.
[03:39] Diablo
I told you before, right?
[03:41] Shera
Yeah.
[03:42] Diablo
So no matter who comes after you,
[03:46] Diablo
I won't let them lay a finger on you.
[03:49] Diablo
You can continue walking proudly
through the city, just like always.
[03:54] Rem
What do we do about the
Kingdom of Greenwood?
[03:57] Diablo
The first step to clearing any
quest is gathering information.
[04:00] Diablo
So we're going to go
talk to the lord right now.
[04:03] Diablo
As if I'm gonna let him start some stupid war!
[04:09] Shera
Thank you, Diablo!
[04:11] Shera
I'll go with you, too!
[04:13] Shera
I'll follow you anywhere, Diablo!
[04:17] Rem
Ahem...
[04:18] Rem
Go change your clothes first, stupid Shera.
[04:26] Sylvie
The lord is the hero of this city.
[04:29] Diablo
Hero?
[04:31] Sylvie
It happened thirty years ago.
[04:33] Sylvie
When the Demon Lord was still around,
[04:35] Sylvie
he fought on the front lines and
defeated several Fallen single-handedly.
[04:40] Shera
Sounds like Diablo the other day.
[04:42] Diablo
What's his level?
[04:44] Sylvie
We've never assessed him, so I wouldn't know.
[04:47] Sylvie
He's not an adventurer, either.
[04:49] Sylvie
He might have been measured long ago,
[04:52] Sylvie
but he's not the kind of person
I could ask about that easily.
[04:57] Diablo
Do you mean the lord...
[04:59] Diablo
is hard to talk to?
[05:02] Sylvie
People say he can be pretty rigid.
[05:04] Sylvie
He's a little scary.
[05:06] Sylvie
So Diablo-san...
[05:09] Sylvie
Be careful how you speak to him, okay?
[05:21] Sylvie
H-Hey, Galford-san!
[05:23] Sylvie
Nice weather we're having, huh?
[05:27] Shera
Can Diablo even use polite language?
[05:29] Rem
Shh! Shut up, stupid Shera!
[05:33] Sylvie
Diablo-san has accepted
the quest about that matter.
[05:37] Galford
In that case,
[05:38] Galford
he should resolve the problem quickly.
[05:41] Galford
You can report to me after
the quest is complete.
[05:45] Sylvie
Well, the difficulty of the quest
is pretty high, you know?
[05:49] Sylvie
So he wanted to gather
some more information.
[05:52] Galford
I believe I already told you
everything you need to know.
[05:55] Sylvie
Well, true, but...
[05:58] Sylvie
Oh, right!
[05:59] Sylvie
Could you at least introduce
yourself to them?
[06:03] Galford
Good grief...
[06:05] Galford
Adventurers who don't even know
the name of their lord?
[06:12] Galford
I am Lieutenant General Chester Ray Galford.
[06:16] Galford
His Royal Majesty has entrusted the
fortified city, Faltra, to me.
[06:20] Rem
I'm Rem Galleu, an adventurer.
[06:23] Shera
I'm Shera L. Greenwood.
[06:28] Diablo
S-S-Scary!
[06:30] Diablo
What's with this tense atmosphere?!
SIGN Demon Lord Mode
SIGN Humble Spirited Mode
[06:33] Diablo
Introductions?!
[06:34] Diablo
Trying to do this without dropping my Demon
Lord act or provoking the other guy
[06:37] ---
sets the hurdle way too high!
SIGN Difficulty
[06:38] Diablo
This seems way more difficult
than preventing a war!
[06:45] Diablo
Y-Yeah...
[06:46] Diablo
I am Diablo.
[06:48] Diablo
I've come to hear you out.
[06:51] Diablo
I did it!
[06:52] Diablo
I managed a peaceful introduction
with my poor communication skills!
[06:55] Diablo
I can do it when I try!
[06:58] Galford
According to my reports, you call yourself
the "Demon Lord from another world."
[07:03] Galford
Is that true?
[07:06] Diablo
Shall I reduce you to ash to prove it?
[07:11] Both
Diablo!
[07:13] Rem
W-Wait, please!
[07:15] Shera
He's always like this!
[07:17] Shera
He doesn't mean anything by it!
[07:20] Galford
Hmph.
[07:21] Galford
You adventurers truly are a strange lot.
[07:24] Sylvie
Huh?
[07:25] Galford
Look behind you.
[07:28] Galford
Southeast of the city lies Seplia Lake,
[07:31] ---
and to the east of that is a forest
that currently conceals Elves.
[07:36] Galford
We still don't know their exact number.
[07:38] Galford
But considering the Kingdom's
forces, we estimate 100 at most.
[07:43] Sylvie
A hundred?
[07:44] Rem
That's not much for an army.
[07:47] Galford
It's a number not worth considering.
[07:50] Galford
However, their specialty is hiding
in trees to ambush enemies.
[07:54] Galford
If I were to send troops into that
forest where the Elves lie in wait,
[07:58] Galford
I would lose many men.
[08:01] Galford
Having my men die needlessly
is the one thing I hate most.
[08:06] Diablo
And that's why you're using me?
[08:09] Galford
If you'd just hand over the princess,
[08:12] Galford
there'd be no need for that.
[08:14] Diablo
I refuse!
[08:20] Galford
Princess Shera,
[08:22] Galford
what do you seek so ardently that you
would abandon your life of luxury
[08:26] ---
and brave danger to disguise
yourself as an adventurer?
[08:29] Shera
I...
[08:31] Shera
I wanted a reason to be myself.
[08:34] Shera
One that wasn't my bloodline.
[08:35] Shera
I wanted to know what I'm worth on my own.
[08:39] Shera
I don't think I could ever
find that in the Elven nation.
[08:44] Galford
I see.
[08:45] Shera
You understand?
[08:47] Galford
I couldn't possibly empathize with that.
[08:49] Galford
But I'll retain the knowledge of it.
[08:52] Shera
I see...
[08:56] Diablo
We don't need empathy from others.
[08:59] Diablo
We face hardships as we please,
[09:01] Diablo
put forth our efforts where we please,
[09:03] Diablo
challenge our limits as we please,
[09:05] Diablo
and savor the successes we
achieve by our own strength.
[09:08] Diablo
When you're following a
path you chose yourself,
[09:10] Diablo
you mustn't be led astray,
no matter what others may say.
[09:14] Diablo
That's what it means to live free.
[09:18] Galford
Then you won't be handing
Princess Shera over.
[09:22] Galford
So you'll be taking measures to prevent
war with the Kingdom of Greenwood.
[09:27] Galford
Do I understand you correctly?
[09:29] Diablo
Shera to belongs to me anyway.
[09:32] Diablo
There's no room for others to get involved.
[09:35] Galford
Then I leave it to you.
[09:37] Galford
Oh, right.
[09:38] Galford
Someone was dispatched from
the royal capital about this matter.
[09:42] Galford
Let me introduce you.
[09:52] Alicia
I am Alicia Cristela, an Imperial Knight.
[09:56] Alicia
I have received orders from His Royal
Majesty to address this matter.
[10:01] Diablo
An Imperial Knight?
[10:03] Alicia
It is an honor to meet you.
[10:09] Diablo
An Imperial Knight...
[10:10] Diablo
Alicia Cristela?
[10:13] Diablo
In Cross Reverie*, only powerful people with
a lineage could become Imperial Knights.
[10:18] Diablo
They're supposed to be*
the elite of the elite.
[10:21] Diablo
Was there a character like her in the game?
[10:23] Rem
It's extremely rare to see an
Imperial Knight who's a woman.
[10:27] Shera
I thought they were all men.
[10:30] Alicia
Fortunately for me, I serve as an
Imperial Knight despite being a woman.
[10:35] Rem
That's wonderful.
[10:37] Alicia
No, I still have a long way to go.
[10:40] Alicia
What about you, Rem-sama?
[10:42] Alicia
You seem to be worrying
about something yourself.
[10:48] Rem
What made you think that?
[10:51] Alicia
I'm sorry.
[10:53] Alicia
It was just a guess.
[10:54] Alicia
According to the reports,
you're a talented Summoner,
[10:59] Alicia
but you aren't working under anyone.
[11:01] Alicia
So I figured there must
be some reason for that.
[11:05] Rem
I see.
[11:06] Alicia
If there's anything I can help you with,
[11:09] Alicia
please feel free to talk to me about it.
[11:12] Rem
Thank you very much.
[11:14] Alicia
Sylvie-sama...
[11:16] Alicia
His Majesty sent this as reparations.
[11:18] Sylvie
Reparations?
[11:20] Alicia
Since you lost many adventurers
in that incident the other day.
[11:24] Sylvie
Oh...
[11:25] Sylvie
Thanks.
[11:26] Alicia
Shera-sama!
[11:27] Alicia
I'm with you!
[11:31] Alicia
I'm sure we'll have a lot of
trouble due to this matter,
[11:34] Alicia
but I'll do my best alongside
you to make everyone happy!
[11:38] Shera
Yeah!
SIGN She's crazy!!!
[11:41] Diablo & Screen
She's crazy!
[11:42] Diablo
Her overwhelming communication
skills let her converse perfectly
[11:45] ---
with someone she only just met!
[11:46] Diablo
As a person, her level is a whole
universe higher than scum like me!
[11:54] Alicia
Diablo-sama...
[11:56] Alicia
I cannot express enough gratitude
and respect to you for defending
[12:00] ---
the Bridge of Ulug and Faltra
from the Fallen's attack.
[12:03] Alicia
I'm sure you have no need of my aid,
[12:06] Alicia
but please permit me to
accompany you nonetheless!
[12:09] Diablo
C-C-C-C-C-C-Crap!
[12:12] Diablo
She's too perfect as a person!
[12:14] Diablo
If I'm not careful, she might see
through my Demon Lord act!
SIGN Frankly, I don't want her to talk to me!
[12:21] Diablo
Do as you please.
[12:23] Diablo
However!
[12:25] Diablo
If you don't want to die,
then don't speak to me frivolously.
[12:32] Alicia
Then I shall prepare myself for that.
[12:34] Diablo
Huh?
[12:35] Alicia
If that is enough to quell
your rage, Diablo-sama,
[12:40] Alicia
then I shall not begrudge you my life!
[12:43] Diablo
Sh-Sh-Sh-ShShShShSh...
[12:47] Diablo
She's so diligent!
[12:55] Alicia
Diablo-sama, where are we heading?
[12:59] Shera
We're not heading straight for
the woods with the Elves, are we?
[13:02] Diablo
We're going to a weaponsmith before that.
[13:04] Alicia
A weaponsmith?
[13:05] Rem
I don't think this city can offer a better
staff than the one you have, Diablo.
[13:11] Diablo
Don't judge my actions by your standards.
[13:14] Diablo
I have a plan.
[13:16] Diablo
This was true in our last battle, too,
[13:19] Diablo
but the residents of this world are just
too low-level compared to the game.
[13:25] Diablo
It's not going to end well
[13:26] ---
if I accidentally kill my opponents
in front of an Imperial Knight,
[13:29] Diablo
so I need to buy a weapon that makes
it easier for me to go easy on them.
[13:34] Weapongirl
Welcome!
[13:38] Weapongirl
Thank you so much!
[13:40] Shera
You... bought a pretty incredible one.
[13:44] Diablo
I focused on its appearance
and ability to deal with small fry.
[13:47] Diablo
Since that's what I want!
[13:49] Rem
It... suits you well.
[13:53] Alicia
What are we doing after this?
[13:56] Diablo
Well, next, I guess we'll buy ingredients
for potions at an item shop.
[14:01] Diablo
It would be nice if we didn't need to fight,
[14:03] Diablo
but it's always best to be
prepared for any outcome.
[14:08] Shera
Hurry!
[14:10] Alicia
Shera-sama, if you run
around too much, you'll trip.
[14:15] Diablo
She's like a mom.
[14:27] Diablo
Wha...
[14:28] Rem
What?!
[14:29] Shera
No! Let go!
[14:31] Alicia
Shera-sama?!
[14:41] Rem
Bounty hunters?!
[14:45] Dwarf
You're not getting by us!
[14:47] Pantherian
You can play with us for a bit.
[14:49] Alicia
What did you say?!
[14:52] Diablo
Move!
[14:57] Pantherian
T-Too strong...
[14:59] Diablo
That wasn't lethal, was it?
[15:01] Diablo
Well?!
[15:02] Dwarf
Huh?
[15:03] Diablo
Good, I can hold back on them.
[15:05] Diablo
I made the right choice with this weapon!
[15:08] Dwarf
Why, you!
[15:12] Alicia
I won't allow you to get
in Diablo-sama's way!
[15:17] Pantherian
Tsk...
[15:19] Rem
I'm surprised.
[15:21] Rem
I didn't think fools tempted by the
bounty would show up this soon.
[15:26] Rem
Are you prepared for this?
[15:31] Alicia
Please leave them to me!
[15:33] Diablo
Right.
[15:44] Diablo
Shera!
[15:45] Shera
No!
[15:53] Grasswalker
I hear something approaching us, Nii-san!
[15:55] Grasswalker
What is this sound, little brother?!
[15:58] Shera
Help me!
[15:59] Diablo
Shera!
[16:02] Diablo
Wait for me, Shera!
[16:03] Diablo
I'm catching up now!
[16:05] Shera
Diablo!
[16:06] Grasswalkers
What?!
[16:07] Grasswalker
He's fast, Nii-san!
[16:09] Grasswalker
He is fast, little brother!
[16:11] Grasswalker
But we can't let ourselves get
captured after coming this far!
[16:16] Emile
Double Smash!
[16:23] Emile
I'll never allow wickedness to
befall women in this city!
[16:30] Diablo
You're...
[16:31] Emile
It's been a while, friend.
[16:34] Emile
My name is Emile Bichel Berger.
[16:38] Emile
I am the ally of all women and allies of women!
[16:44] Shera
Thanks, Emile.
[16:45] Shera
You saved me.
[16:47] Rem
Still, I'm surprised you were
passing through this back alley.
[16:51] Emile
Well...
[16:52] Emile
I've kept it quiet so far,
[16:55] Emile
but I can smell the very scent
of a woman in trouble!
[17:00] Diablo
Just don't do anything
to get yourself arrested.
[17:02] Emile
I kid, I kid!
[17:04] Emile
I actually heard from the Adventurer's Guild
that Prince Keera put out a bounty.
[17:10] Emile
So I was searching for
Shera-chan to protect her.
[17:13] Diablo
Makes sense.
[17:14] Emile
As for me personally,
[17:16] Emile
I'd like to repay you for
saving me the other day.
[17:20] Diablo
By the way,
[17:21] Diablo
what are you planning to do with them?
[17:23] Diablo
They may have failed,
but they're still kidnappers.
[17:26] Diablo
There's an Imperial Knight with us, too.
[17:28] Emile
Leave these men to me.
[17:31] Emile
I need to eliminate those who would
make women cry from this world.
[17:36] Diablo
Will you kill them?
[17:38] Emile
Perish the thought.
[17:40] Emile
I'll just pound the preciousness of women
[17:42] ---
into them until they understand it
from the bottoms of their hearts!
[17:48] Emile
I'll turn them into honest people who would
[17:51] ---
never make the mistake of
trying to kidnap women!
[17:53] Diablo
Harsh!
[17:55] Emile
Now then, I'll be heading off,
[17:57] Emile
but this won't be the last of
those blinded by the bounty.
[18:01] Emile
Please be careful.
[18:02] Shera
Later, Emile!
[18:04] Rem
You have my gratitude.
[18:05] Alicia
I nearly allowed my charge to be kidnapped.
[18:09] Alicia
You have my sincere gratitude.
[18:12] Emile
My goodness! It seems I've
charmed another woman.
[18:16] Emile
What a sinful man I am.
[18:20] Shera
I think Emile's a good guy,
but I'm not charmed by him.
[18:25] Rem
He's not a bad person,
[18:27] Rem
but I'd rather avoid getting
too involved with him.
[18:33] Diablo
Shera...
[18:34] Shera
What?
[18:36] Diablo
Don't stray from me.
[18:38] Diablo
Stay by my side.
[18:39] Shera
Huh? I can?
[18:42] Diablo
It'd be a hassle if you got kidnapped again.
[18:47] Shera
Can...
[18:49] Shera
Can I... hold your hand?
[18:54] Diablo
Yes.
[18:56] Shera
Listen...
[18:57] Shera
Thanks for saving me.
[18:59] Diablo
Emile is the one who saved you.
[19:02] Shera
But you're the one who took
out their companions, right?
[19:06] Shera
I was really scared,
[19:09] Shera
but when I saw you chasing after me,
[19:11] Shera
I felt relieved.
[19:13] Diablo
Don't rest easy before you've been saved.
[19:17] Diablo
You're too optimistic.
[19:22] Diablo
That's too close!
[19:23] Shera
But it's dangerous if I'm
away from you, right?
[19:26] Diablo
Still...
[19:29] Rem
I'm surprised.
[19:30] Rem
You're that strong even
without using your magic?
[19:34] Rem
Impressive.
[19:35] Diablo
Th-That's only natural.
[19:38] Diablo
I'm no mere Sorcerer, after all.
[19:40] Diablo
I'm the Demon Lord.
[19:43] Rem
Yes!
[19:44] Alicia
My apologies, Diablo-sama.
[19:48] Alicia
Shera-sama was endangered
due to my inattention.
[19:52] Alicia
How can I make it up to you?
[19:54] Shera
That's not true!
[19:56] Shera
I'm to blame for that!
[19:57] Shera
You didn't do anything wrong, Alicia-san!
[20:00] Alicia
But...
[20:01] Diablo
You're misunderstanding.
[20:04] Diablo
I'm the Demon Lord Diablo.
[20:06] Diablo
I never desired your aid to begin with.
[20:10] Alicia
Th-Then how may I be of
service to you, Diablo-sama?
[20:17] Diablo
This girl is way too diligent.
[20:20] Diablo
Even if she is an Imperial Knight,
[20:21] Diablo
it'll be hard on her if
she doesn't relax more.
[20:25] Diablo
Are you one of those?
[20:27] Diablo
The type that thinks anyone
who isn't useful should die?
[20:31] Alicia
Huh? That's not...
[20:33] Alicia
That's not true at all!
[20:34] Diablo
Then forgive yourself for being useless.
[20:39] Diablo
If you want to accompany us,
do so as you please.
[20:41] Diablo
You don't need to insist
on producing results.
[20:50] Alicia
Yes.
[20:54] Alicia
I, Alicia Cristela, shall henceforth
turn my greatest effort
[20:58] ---
toward forgiving myself when I'm not useful!
[21:00] Diablo
That's all wrong!
[21:03] Rem
Well, shall we head to the
forest with the Elves now?
[21:06] Shera
Yeah, let's all do our best!
[21:12] Rem
Good grief... You're so boorish.
[21:14] Shera
That wasn't me!
[21:16] Shera
It was Diablo, wasn't it?
[21:17] Diablo
Don't be foolish!
[21:18] Diablo
I'm not as gluttonous as you are!
[21:21] Rem
Then who...
[21:31] Shera
Shall we go grab a bite, Alicia-san?
[21:33] Alicia
I-I'm fine...
[21:36] Rem
You know what they say about empty stomachs.
[21:39] Alicia
I-Is that so?
[21:42] Shera
Hey, what should we eat?
[21:44] Rem
Meat.
[21:45] Shera
You always want that, Rem!
[21:47] Shera
What would you like, Alicia-san?
[21:49] Alicia
I don't really...
[21:51] Rem
Let's eat meat.
[21:52] Shera
No!
[21:52] Shera
I want fruit!
[21:54] Diablo
Don't fight, you fools!
[23:30] Both
You figured out a way
to release our collars?!
[23:33] Woman
It looks good on you.
[23:34] Diablo
Send my magic power into Shera!
[23:36] Shera
Diablo, wait!
