[00:03] Rudolf
Aileen, Prince Cédric will be taking over all of
your pharmaceutical and agricultural businesses.
[00:11] Aileen
Huh? He's stealing all my businesses?
[00:15] Rudolf
You were too careless when you
created your contracts, Aileen.
[00:19] Rudolf
This is a tremendous loss
for the d'Autriche family.
[00:22] Aileen
I-I'm terribly sorry...
[00:25] Rudolf
Be sure to recover the financial losses
of the d'Autriche family before the ball.
[00:30] Aileen
I-In two months?!
[00:32] Rudolf
I don't remember raising a ruined
daughter who just wallows about.
[00:36] Rudolf
Work hard.
[00:40] Aileen; Internal
Father is serious.
[00:43] Aileen; Internal
I'll be thrown out of the
family at this rate...

So I'm Taming the Final Boss
SIGN I'm the Villainess,
So I'm Taming the Final Boss
SIGN The Villainess May Have Many Enemies, but She Also Has Many Underlings
[02:17] Aileen; Internal
First, I'll have to recover all the
family's losses caused by Prince Cedric.
[02:25] Jasper
Hey! You there!
[02:28] Aileen
Good day to you, Jasper.
[02:30] Jasper
Should you really be so cheerful?
[02:32] Jasper
Is it true your engagement fell through?
[02:34] Aileen
It's true.
[02:36] Aileen
Though I'll be refusing any interviews.
[02:37] Jasper
I'm not here to interview you.
[02:39] Jasper
I owe you a lot.
[02:41] Jasper
And above all, my newspaper always
stands on the side of justice.
[02:45] Jasper
Can't believe it turned out like this, though.
[02:48] Jasper
You were so devoted to Prince Cedric...
[02:53] Aileen
That's right! I have a favor I'd like to ask.
[02:56] Jasper
Huh?
[02:59] Aileen
So on that note, let's repair this castle...
[03:02] Aileen
with my pocket money!
[03:05] Keith
Uh, but that's...
[03:08] Belzebuth
We can't let humans into the castle!
[03:10] Belzebuth
That's blasphemy, girl!
[03:13] Aileen
I think it's more blasphemous to let a
demon lord live in a castle like this.
[03:16] Belzebuth
You can't understand the
majesty of this place?!
[03:19] Belzebuth
This is why I hate humans!
[03:21] Aileen; Internal
He'd be considered a chunibyo in my old life...
[03:24] Aileen
Lord Claude, please think
of this as helping others.
[03:29] Claude
Helping others? What do you mean?
[03:32] Aileen
The truth is...
[03:34] Aileen
I'd like to hire the workers
who were unreasonably let go
[03:37] Aileen
by Prince Cédric to fix this castle.
[03:40] Claude
Why is a duke's daughter such as
yourself going to such lengths?
[03:44] Aileen
It's to help people, of course.
[03:49] Aileen
I know you plan to refuse. However—
[03:53] Claude
I'll leave it to you.
[03:54] Aileen
Huh?! Are you sure?
[03:57] Claude
Keith, we haven't been receiving your
salary or my subsidy for some time.
[04:01] Keith
Yes, I'm sure a noble has
been embezzling our funds.
[04:06] Claude
Look into it and recover what we're owed.
[04:09] Claude
I'll use the funds to repair the castle.
[04:12] Keith
Leave it to me.
[04:13] Aileen
U-Um...
[04:14] Aileen
I've already asked an acquaintance,
[04:17] Aileen
a reporter named Jasper,
to look into the case, as well.
[04:20] Claude
You've already taken matters
into your own hands?
[04:23] Aileen
I believed it was the best
action to take for us.
[04:28] Claude
It seems you really don't
like to be in anyone's debt.
[04:32] Aileen
Wh-What about you, Lord Claude?
[04:34] Aileen
Why did you agree to my suggestion so easily?
[04:37] Aileen
Are you trying to bully me?
[04:39] Claude
Who knows?
[04:41] Aileen
Th-Then let me ask you for one more thing.
[04:44] Aileen
I'd like to borrow some of the land in
your forest and create a little croft.
[04:50] Claude
That's fine.
[04:51] Claude
Any more than that will depend
on how sincerely you can ask.
[05:00] Aileen
L-Let's get started right away!
[05:02] Aileen
Sir Belzebuth, please show me the way!
[05:05] Claude
Aileen.
[05:07] Aileen
Yes?
[05:18] Aileen
You're the cub from before...
[05:21] Claude
I've turned your shadow into a demon gateway.
[05:25] Claude
They can come out at any time.
[05:26] Aileen
Why would you do such a thing?!
[05:28] Claude
With this, the demons will accept
you no matter where you go.
[05:39] Aileen
Do you like ribbons?
[05:42] Aileen
In that case, I'll name you "Ribbon."
[05:47] Jasper
I've always thought you were
on a whole different level.
[05:51] Jasper
That being said...
[05:54] Jasper
Are you really planning to have
humans repair a demon castle?
[05:58] Aileen
It's not against the law.
[06:00] Aileen
Don't worry. I was up all
night making sure of it.
[06:04] Jasper
Prince Cédric sure is a fool for
letting such a good woman go.
[06:09] Aileen
Flattery? That's unlike you.
[06:14] Belzebuth
Girl! Report the situation!
[06:17] Jasper
A d-demon?!
[06:19] Aileen
Sir Belzebuth.
[06:20] Belzebuth
Hey, human!
[06:22] Jasper
Y-Yes?
[06:24] Belzebuth
Don't offend our lord any further.
[06:26] Belzebuth
The winds he creates can
easily blow a human away.
[06:29] Jasper
Huh?
[06:30] Aileen
Jasper, you offended Lord Claude?
[06:33] Jasper
I've never even met him!
[06:35] Aileen
Then what in the world was that all about?
[06:40] Aileen
The stormy weather is quite inconvenient.
[06:43] Jasper
It's rumored that the demon lord's
emotions affect the weather...
[06:48] Jasper
That means...
[06:51] Aileen
What is it?
[06:52] Jasper
Oh, just...
[06:53] Jasper
Leaking unverified information
goes against my principles.
[07:00] Jasper
They're here.
[07:01] Jasper
As expected of you, my lady.
[07:04] Jasper
You have a lot of enemies,
but you don't have many allies.
[07:06] Aileen
I consider quality over quantity!
[07:10] Aileen
Denis!
[07:11] Aileen
Ruck!
[07:12] Aileen
Quartz!
[07:13] Aileen
Even Isaac is here!
[07:16] Isaac
Everyone's been worried about you.
[07:19] Aileen
Oh? But there's nothing to worry about.
[07:23] Isaac
Damn, you never change...
[07:27] Aileen
Thank you for coming, Denis.
[07:30] Aileen
Having a genius architect by
my side is quite reassuring.
[07:33] Denis
Yes! Leave everything to me!
[07:35] Aileen
I'm sorry about all this, Ruck.
[07:37] Aileen
You were so close to seeing the results
of your research in clinical medicine...
[07:42] Luc
It's fine. As a doctor, I have a lot of interest
in the plants growing in the demon lord's forest.
[07:47] Luc
Right, Quartz?
[07:50] Luc
He's a little depressed.
[07:52] Luc
As a botanist, he worked so
hard to grow your plants,
[07:55] Luc
only to have Prince Cédric take them all way.
[07:58] Aileen
But you'll still work for me again?
[08:01] Luc
If it's necessary, we can develop
an untraceable poison for you.
[08:06] Luc
Right, Lord Isaac?
[08:07] Isaac
Don't make me the mastermind for the
assassination of the imperial prince,
[08:10] Isaac
you black-hearted doctor!
[08:12] Quartz
If we can find something good in this forest...
[08:15] Isaac
Stop it!
[08:16] Denis
What about building a bridge
[08:18] Denis
that will collapse under a
certain amount of weight?!
[08:21] Isaac
You, too?!
[08:22] Jasper
Hey! Why don't we focus on the current job?!
[08:29] Keith
Wow, you've all surpassed my imagination.
[08:32] Isaac
Who are you?
[08:33] Aileen
He's one of Lord Claude's aides.
[08:36] Keith
There's no need to be scared.
[08:38] Keith
I'm a normal human.
[08:40] Keith
Though I know a little bit about all of you.
[08:43] Jasper
You seem well-informed.
[08:44] Keith
Well, I'm the demon lord's aide, after all.
[08:47] Keith
Collecting enough information
is a matter of course.
[08:52] Keith
Looks like we've talked too much.
Lord Claude is growing irritated.
[09:04] Keith
I've brought the guests.
[09:18] Isaac
That's the demon lord, huh?
[09:21] Claude
There is only one thing that
I require from all of you.
[09:24] Claude
Do not hurt the demons or
threaten their way of life.
[09:29] Claude
Keep in mind that I know everything
that happens within this barrier.
[09:36] Denis
Um, what part of the castle
needs to be repaired?
[09:46] Aileen
Rain?
[09:48] Denis
Huh? Why?!
[09:49] Jasper
The rain... The rain is...
[09:57] Claude
It's in dire need of repair.
[09:59] Claude
I'm just currently supporting it with magic.
[10:05] Isaac
Amazing. So this is magic...
[10:07] Denis
So, do you have any
requests for the repairs?
[10:10] Claude
I'd like a place comfortable for demons.
[10:12] Denis
Then may I ask the demons directly?
[10:15] Claude
Belzebuth, interpret for him.
[10:17] Belzebuth
Understood.
[10:18] Claude
I'll decide on things when needed.
You're dismissed.
[10:22] Belzebuth
Listen, demons are surprisingly
sensitive creatures...
[10:24] Aileen
Lord Claude,
[10:26] Aileen
are you unhappy about something?
[10:30] Claude
Why?
[10:32] Aileen
Are you not a bit more on edge than usual?
[10:36] Claude
You seem quite close to them.
[10:40] Aileen
I believe in building trust
with the people I work with.
[10:46] Aileen
Also, my father will throw me out of the house
[10:50] Aileen
if I can't establish a solid
business before the ball.
[10:53] Aileen
If that happens, I won't be able to
wear even the simplest of dresses.
[10:57] Claude
Just because of that?
[10:59] Aileen
"Just" for that?
[11:02] Aileen
Dresses are battle armor for women!
[11:05] Aileen
Maybe someone like you can wear rags or
run around naked with confidence, but not us!
[11:09] Claude
No, running around naked is too much...
[11:11] Aileen
I work hard to dress myself up to
stand confidently by your side!
[11:16] Claude
But no matter what you look like,
what's inside will stay the same.
[11:23] Claude
No matter. I understand your answer.
[11:26] Aileen
Please, wait.
[11:28] Aileen
What was it that made you so unhappy?
[11:33] Claude
Who knows? I'm not sure myself.
[11:36] Aileen
Huh?
[11:39] Aileen
What in the world was that about?
[11:43] Keith
Don't worry about it.
[11:44] Keith
Look! It seems Lord Claude's
mood has improved.
[11:55] Aileen
Well, let's get to work.
[11:58] Aileen
Denis, please start repairing the castle.
[12:01] Denis
Got it!
[12:02] Belzebuth
Come, kid.
[12:04] Denis
I'm actually sixteen years old, you know!
[12:06] Aileen
Jasper, look into the embezzlement of funds.
[12:09] Aileen
Sir Keith says he'll work with you.
[12:12] Jasper
Counting on ya, Sir Aide.
[12:14] Keith
Let's wring them of every last drop.
[12:18] Aileen
Isaac, Ruck, and Quartz,
[12:21] Aileen
I'll have you three help me
manufacture new pharmaceuticals.
[12:24] Luc
Yes. I remember the previous formula,
so with a few improvements...
[12:29] Quartz
I still have some ingredients, too.
[12:32] Isaac
No.
[12:33] Isaac
Now that Prince Cédric has
taken over the business,
[12:36] Isaac
he'll complain if we make anything similar
and force us to stop production.
[12:41] Isaac
We should make an entirely
new product. For instance...
[12:46] Aileen
Cosmetics.
[12:48] Aileen
Ladies spend a lot of money
in the pursuit of beauty.
[12:51] Aileen
We'll use that in our favor.
[12:54] Quartz
That's a good idea.
[12:56] Luc
But beauty products are outside
my area of expertise.
[12:59] Aileen
Think of it as medicine to heal the skin.
[13:02] Aileen
You use salves on chapped skin, right?
[13:04] Luc
I see...
[13:06] Quartz
Let's try it.
[13:08] Aileen
I'll use the test products personally.
[13:11] Aileen
If I'm standing by Lord Claude,
it'll make for good advertisement.
[13:14] Isaac
Yeah, the demon lord is pretty beautiful.
[13:19] Aileen
That's why our new products need
to keep me on par with him.
[13:22] Isaac
That's your motive?!
[13:24] Aileen
That's right!
[13:25] Aileen
As a woman, I have no intention of losing!
[13:28] Isaac
I see. This'll definitely
bring in a lot of money.
[13:34] Cédric
Aileen did that?
[13:36] Marcus
Yeah. She gathered all the
unemployed workers to start
[13:39] Marcus
doing something at the demon lord's castle.
[13:42] Cédric
She's getting close to my
brother in some kind of scheme.

SIGN The demon lord and first prince of the Elmir Empire. His red eyes are a testament to his position of demon lord. His emotions affect the local weather around him.
[14:01] Aileen
Yes! This is the scent!
[14:04] Luc
It's all thanks to the steam
distiller that Denis made for me.
[14:08] Denis
Aw, it was nothing!
[14:12] Aileen
Chamomile and lemongrass...
[14:15] Aileen
Is this one rosemary?
[14:18] Luc
Yes. I tried using different plants
based on Isaac's documents.
[14:23] Aileen
All that's left is repairing the castle.
[14:25] Aileen
Denis, are things going well?
[14:27] Denis
Right on track!
[14:29] Denis
Isn't this kitchen impressive?!
[14:31] Isaac
True, but all we've been doing in it
is boiling up grasses and flowers.
[14:36] Denis
You can make sweets here as long
as you have the ingredients!
[14:39] Almond
Girl! Sweets!
[14:41] Rabbit Demon
Cakes! Strawberries!
[14:42] Fish Demon
Pies! Hand them over!
[14:44] Pig Demon
Tarts! Don't know the taste! Eat!
[14:46] Aileen
You're using my shadow again!
[14:50] Aileen
Return this instant!
[14:52] Demons
Cookies! Cookies! Cakes! Cakes!
[14:56] Aileen
Stop chanting!
[14:57] Demons
Eat! Eat! Hurry! Hurry!
[14:57] Aileen
I'll bake some sweets when
things calm down! Be patient!
[15:00] Almond
Tyrant!
[15:01] Claude
Don't bother her.
[15:03] Aileen
They're so obedient toward you, Lord Claude!
[15:07] Keith
I've come to report that we've been able
to take care of the embezzlement case.
[15:12] Keith
That Jasper is incredibly talented!
[15:15] Aileen
I heard that you obtained most
of the evidence on your own.
[15:20] Aileen
You didn't pursue the culprit of the
embezzlement to the end, either.
[15:24] Keith
Well, we can't allow any
articles about the demon lord's
[15:27] Keith
unfortunate living
circumstances to go public!
[15:31] Denis
Oh! The demon lord is wounded!
[15:33] Keith
In any case, there's no need
to worry about the money.
[15:37] Keith
The preparations for the
ball are going smoothly,
[15:39] Keith
so try your hardest not to lose
to Lord Claude, Lady Aileen.
[15:44] Aileen
Yes. I'll try my best.
[15:46] Keith
We look forward to it, don't we, Lord Claude?
[15:50] Keith
Lord Claude?
[15:52] Claude
Not particularly.
[15:55] Aileen
All my clothes and cosmetics
won't amount to much.
[16:00] Aileen
Is that what he's insinuating?
[16:01] Isaac
No, I'm sure he's just embarrassed.
[16:04] Everyone
Yeah.
[16:06] Aileen
We'll finish developing the skin toner
and have Lord Claude admit his defeat!
[16:11] Aileen
Back to work, everyone!
[16:13] Keith
Oh, no. The demon lord's purity
worked against him...
[16:18] Denis
The lavender is back to normal.
[16:24] Aileen
The products were well-received by the
testers, but how should we sell them?
[16:30] Aileen
Is that you again, Almond?
[16:33] Aileen
So you can use my shadow, too?
[16:37] Belzebuth
Girl, I have a request.
[16:40] Aileen
It's unforgivable to enter a lady's
room in the middle of the night,
[16:45] Aileen
but I'll turn a blind eye this time.
[16:47] Aileen
What do you need?
[16:48] Belzebuth
Our lord will be attending the ball.
I wish to go, as well.
[16:53] Aileen
Aides are only allowed
to stand off to one side.
[16:56] Belzebuth
Still...
[16:58] Belzebuth
The humans who cast out
our lord will be at the ball.
[17:03] Belzebuth
Our lord is strong, but that
doesn't mean he can't be hurt.
[17:10] Belzebuth
I've heard that something called "manners"
[17:12] Belzebuth
will be necessary to prevent myself
from shaming his name.
[17:15] Belzebuth
I wish to obtain this power!
[17:18] Aileen
Very well.
[17:20] Aileen
I'll train you to be presentable
by the night of the ball.
[17:23] Belzebuth
I am in your debt!
[17:25] Aileen
Lord Claude is lucky to be so loved.
[17:29] Aileen
Even though so many people believe it's
dangerous to get close to the demon lord...
[17:32] Aileen
Hm? Dangerous to get close to...
[17:36] Aileen
If I remember correctly, these two
don't get along with each other...
[17:41] Aileen; Internal
A perfect sales strategy!
[17:44] Belzebuth
H-Hey, girl.
[17:46] Belzebuth
I want to learn about manners
as quickly as possible.
[17:49] Aileen
Huh?
[17:49] Aileen
Of course. Then, first...
[17:55] Aileen
Why don't you get down on your knees?
[17:59] Denis
The craftsmen will work on the framework!
[18:01] Denis
And I'll have the demons transport the
materials and help organize the workspace!
[18:05] People
Got it!
[18:07] Aileen; Internal
Everyone's working hard.
[18:09] Aileen; Internal
I'll have to reward them
with some treats later.
[18:12] Claude
Is it because of you
[18:14] Claude
that Belzebuth has been acting strange?
[18:17] Aileen
He's not acting strange.
Doesn't he seem more knightly than before?
[18:22] Claude
He showed me the form of
his bow over and over again.
[18:25] Aileen
You should help him at least that much.
[18:28] Claude
It also seems like you've been using sweets
to make the demons do your bidding.
[18:33] Aileen
I'm not forcing them.
[18:35] Claude
Yes, they do seem to be having fun.
[18:38] Aileen
This forest...
[18:40] Aileen
The land of the demons is surprisingly vast.
[18:43] Claude
Keith bought up the
neighboring lands for me.
[18:46] Claude
It was originally the land of some count.
[18:49] Aileen
He's a shrewd one.
[18:52] Claude
Yeah. I trust him.
[18:55] Keith
I'm humbled by your compliments,
[18:58] Keith
but we've received some unfortunate news.
[19:00] Jasper
There are rumors that our lady
is after Lady Lilia's life.
[19:06] Aileen
What do you mean?
[19:07] Jasper
It looks like Lady Lilia has been
receiving threatening letters.
[19:11] Jasper
"You aren't fit to be Prince Cedric's fiancée.
Refuse the engagement or else." Standard fare.
[19:19] Aileen
And why do people think I'm the culprit?
[19:23] Jasper
They say your name was on some of the letters.
[19:28] Jasper
On top of that, the letters were written
[19:30] Jasper
on high-quality, perfumed paper
only used by noble ladies.
[19:34] Aileen; Internal
Threatening letters...
[19:36] Aileen; Internal
That happened in the game, too.
[19:38] Aileen; Internal
The sender was the villainess...
[19:42] Aileen; Internal
Wait, me?!
SIGN Aileen
SIGN That's right! It was me!
Oh hoh hoh hoh!
[19:44] Aileen; Game
That's right! It was me!
[19:44] Aileen; Internal
I may have been the culprit in the game,
but in this reality, I've been framed!
[19:50] Aileen
Ladies' stationery...
[19:53] Aileen
Almond, can you hear me?
[19:55] Almond
What?
[19:58] Aileen
I have a job for you.
The reward is an apple pie.
[20:01] Almond
Leave it to me! Apple pie!
[20:03] Claude
No.
[20:04] Almond
Can't work! I refuse!
[20:06] Aileen
I just want him to bring me documents
discarded by the imperial palace.
[20:10] Claude
The servants will notice.
[20:12] Claude
My magic won't reach him beyond the barrier.
[20:15] Aileen
The demons will never learn anything
if you always keep them trapped.
[20:22] Claude
Come back right away if it seems dangerous.
[20:25] Almond
Aye-aye, sir!
[20:27] Aileen
If any humans do anything to him...
[20:29] Aileen
I'll beat them up myself!
I care about Almond, too!
[20:34] Claude
How strange.
[20:36] Claude
I still want to make you cry...
[20:40] Claude
But sometimes I want to spoil
you rotten and ruin you.
[20:47] Claude
Is there anything I can do?
[20:50] Aileen; Internal
What happened to his
"lofty demon lord" description?!
[20:53] Jasper
C'mon, time for us to go.
[20:55] Keith
Do your best, Lady Aileen!
[20:57] Aileen; Mind
C-Calm down!
[20:59] Aileen; Mind
I should use this chance to draw up
an official contract of engagement...
[21:04] Aileen; Internal
But somehow, I feel like that's not right.
[21:07] Aileen; Internal
Even though this is the perfect chance...
[21:11] Aileen
Then... please escort me perfectly.
[21:15] Aileen
Better than any man at the ball.
Better than Prince Cedric!
[21:20] Claude
You are truly formidable.
[21:23] Aileen
Huh?
[21:24] Claude
You have my word.
[21:28] Aileen
I wonder if I should have
had him magically produce
[21:31] Aileen
substances that promote
beautiful skin instead...
[21:34] Cédric
Lilia, are you all right?
[21:36] Lilia
Y-Yes, I've calmed down.
[21:41] Cédric
Aileen is doing something with the demons.
[21:44] Cédric
I'm sure she's the culprit behind those letters.
[21:47] Lilia
Lady Aileen is a harsh person,
but there's no real proof that she did this...
[21:53] Cédric
You're too kind, Lilia.
[21:55] Cédric
How dare she make you so uneasy?
[21:58] Lilia
Price Cedric...
[22:02] Cédric; Internal
Aileen, I'll make you pay for this!
