[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...

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.

[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!
