[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!
SIGN    Episode Six
    Slave Market
[23:38] Shera
    This feels incredible!
