[00:05] James
    Who are you?
[00:07] Ailey
    I just explained that!
[00:10] James
    Let me ask a different question.
[00:13] James
    You saw my true form, didn't you?
SIGN    I'm the Villainess,
    So I'm Taming the Final Boss

[01:55] James
    Answer if you don't want me to kill you.
[02:00] James
    So silence is your choice.
[02:01] James
    And you want me to help you?
    Don't make me laugh.
[02:04] James
    What are you trying to make me do?
[02:06] Ailey
    Fine, let me explain.
[02:08] Ailey
    Come out, Ribbon!
[02:15] James
    C-Call this thing off! Hey!
[02:18] Ailey
    I want to protect you.
[02:20] James
    Protect me?
[02:23] Ailey
    As you can see, I can summon demons.
[02:26] Ailey
    If nothing else, you know I'm not on the side
    of the church that's hunting you down.
[02:34] Ailey
    I'm looking for Ashtarte.
    You know of him, don't you?
[02:42] James
    I'm Ashtarte.
[02:44] Ailey
    Huh?
[02:45] James
    I'm half demon.
[02:47] James
    No one at the academy knows,
    even the other student council members.
[02:52] James
    My father gave me the demon name "Ashtarte."
[02:57] James
    It's a name I abandoned a long time ago.
[02:59] Aileen; Internal
    D-Did he have that background in the game?
[03:03] Ailey
    So why is someone using
    your name to attack others?
[03:08] James
    Who knows?
[03:09] James
    Someone is probably trying to frame
    me as the culprit of the attacks.
[03:14] James
    Hey, send this demon back.
[03:18] James
    It'll be bad if someone sees it.
[03:21] James
    And you shouldn't come up to me so readily.
[03:25] James
    I'm not one of you.
[03:34] Ailey
    You're really similar to the
    person I like, President James.
[03:38] James
    What?
[03:39] Ailey
    Anyway, I'm going to do my best
    to protect you, so please help me.
[03:43] Ailey
    Don't report me to the director.
[03:46] James
    I refuse.
[03:48] Ailey
    Come out, Ribbon...
[03:49] James
    F-Fine! Don't use demons as a shield!
[03:52] James
    That's cowardly!
[03:55] Claude
    What about the demons in the city?
[03:58] Belzebuth
    They've all evacuated the area.
[04:00] Claude
    Good. Make sure to keep easily influenced
    demons far away from Ashtarte.
[04:06] Keith
    I'll start patrolling the surrounding
    areas with Belzebuth tomorrow.
[04:10] Keith
    It'll be best if you stay here, Lord Claude.
[04:13] Claude
    I know, but it's frustrating that
    everything here is so inconvenient.
[04:18] Claude
    Even I'm...
[04:20] Keith
    Were you thinking of attending
    the school festival?
[04:25] Claude
    I was hoping to make some friends.
[04:27] Keith
    Huh?
[04:29] Claude
    I've never made a friend before.
[04:35] Belzebuth
    I will do whatever I can for my lord.
[04:38] Keith
    You're right. We should start by
    having him practice greeting people...
[04:41] Keith
    As if! Lord Claude, aren't you here
    as the director of the academy?!
[04:45] Claude
    I know that, but...
[04:47] Belzebuth
    Is being the demon lord hard for you?
[04:50] Claude
    I just want some friends.
[04:53] Belzebuth
    Keith, our lord really wants friends.
[04:56] Belzebuth
    You should prepare some immediately.
[04:58] Keith
    Friends aren't something you
    can prepare for someone else.
[05:02] Claude
    That's right. Aileen is
    very good at socializing.
[05:06] Claude
    I'll ask her for advice.
[05:08] Claude
    With her by my side, I don't have to give
    up any aspects of being human anymore.
[05:14] Keith
    Like I said! This is an academy,
    not some social circle!
[05:18] Keith
    You have your position to think about,
    so please make friends at another time!
[05:22] Claude
    But...
[05:23] Keith
    I won't stay quiet if you go out to play
    around while others are working hard.
SIGN    School Festival Day 1
[05:44] Ailey
    This is the security force!
[05:46] Ailey
    All items that violate school
    regulations must be confiscated!
[05:48] Boy
    You should let it slide
    during the school festival!
[05:50] James
    Hand it over right now.
[05:57] Ailey
    It's not demon incense.
[05:59] Ailey
    Let's confiscate it and go, Jam—Blue.
[06:02] James
    Why am I walking around dressed like this?
[06:05] Aileen; Internal
    Lord Claude was bothered
    by the duck costume,
[06:08] Aileen; Internal
    so clearly, we need more of them!
[06:12] Auguste
    Red! Blue!
[06:14] Ailey
    Augu—Pink, are you still good on time?
[06:18] Ailey
    Isn't there an entry deadline?
[06:19] Auguste
    Huh? It's already time?! I've got to go!
[06:25] Ailey
    There are a lot of external entries.
[06:28] Ailey
    Do you think Auguste can win?
[06:31] James
    He'll be fine. He's a total muscle-head.
[06:33] Claude
    Thank goodness.
[06:34] Claude
    It seems they're still accepting entries.
[06:39] James
    The demon lord?
[06:40] Ailey
    L-Lord Claude?!
[06:42] Claude
    Hm? There are more ducks now...
[06:44] Auguste
    Sorry for the wait!
[06:45] Auguste
    Huh? The academy director?
[06:47] Claude
    I'm not.
[06:49] Auguste
    Then... the demon lord?
[06:50] Claude
    I may be dressed like the demon lord,
     but I'm not him.
[06:54] Claude
    I'm a passing traveler.
[06:57] Auguste
    Oh! So you're working undercover
    as an ordinary person?
[07:01] Claude
    Of course. That's an excuse I can give to Keith.
[07:05] Claude
    I'll go with that.
[07:07] James
    Dressed like that?!
[07:08] Aileen; Internal
    He's totally enjoying the school festival!
[07:11] Claude
    I'd like to know how to enter
    the swordsmanship tournament.
[07:15] Auguste
    Oh, I just did it, so I know how.
[07:18] Auguste
    I also know where the best food stalls are.
[07:21] James
    Enter the tournament first. There's no time.
[07:25] Aileen; Internal
    Is he the type that wants to be taken care of?
[07:27] Aileen; Internal
    Regardless of age or sex?!
[07:31] Aileen; Internal
    He's staring! He's totally staring!
[07:34] Claude
    You're the duck that came
    to get my signature.
[07:47] Claude
    For some reason, I can't stop
    being curious about you...
[07:52] Aileen; Internal
    W-Wall-slamming a duck?!
    What a wasted scene!
[07:57] Claude
    Why are you trying to get away?
[08:02] Auguste
    Um, they'll stop taking new entries soon.
[08:05] Claude
    Yes, you're right.
[08:16] Aileen
    At any rate, I'm glad to see Lord Claude
    having some fun living with humans.
[08:22] Aileen
    I wish I could have explored with him...
SIGN    Red! There's a problem!
[08:30] Kyle
    The church wants to do whatever it takes to
    hunt down the demon hiding at the academy.
SIGN    They've spread demon incense around the tournament to force the demon out of hiding.
SIGN    They added it to the lanterns at the four corners of the arena.
SIGN    The incense will spread throughout the arena immediately once they're lit.
SIGN    But if we just remove them,
SIGN    the church will consider us traitors and send assassins to get rid of us.
[08:56] Ailey
    The director is entering the
    swordsmanship tournament!
[08:59] Ailey
    If the demon incense causes him to
    demonize and turn into a giant dragon...
[09:06] Kyle
    It won't just be the academy at risk.
    The entire country will be in danger.
[09:11] Ailey
    We need to get Lord Claude to retire
[09:13] Ailey
    from the swordsmanship tournament
    as soon as possible.
[09:15] Isaac
    The demon lord got through the preliminaries
[09:18] Isaac
    without using any magic,
    and only using his left hand.
[09:21] Isaac
    He might lose with such a big handicap.
[09:24] Ailey
    There's no way my Lord Claude
    will lose! Think harder!
[09:29] Isaac
    Spare me the love boasts.
[09:31] Isaac
    Well, there is a way.
[09:34] Ailey
    Really?!
[09:37] Isaac
    Luc developed this sleep potion.
[09:40] Isaac
    He says it'll even work on the demon lord,
    whether he's in human or dragon form.
[09:43] Ailey
    So you're thinking of
    drugging him to sleep.
[09:52] Rachel
    We draw up this delicious water from
    a local well. Please have some.
[09:57] Claude
    I'd love to.
[10:03] Rachel
    Please try your best during the finals.
[10:05] Claude
    Thank you.
[10:12] Claude
    I should rest a bit.
[10:21] Aileen; Internal
    If he falls asleep,
[10:23] Aileen; Internal
    we can prevent Lord Claude from demonizing
    and James from becoming the final boss.
[10:27] Aileen; Internal
    The Grand Duchy of Mirchetta will be saved,
    and I can prevent my bad ending!
[10:33] Selena
    Lord Claude?
[10:37] Selena
    Lord Claude, it's time.
[10:41] Claude
    I'm not Claude right now.
[10:45] Claude
    I'm just an ordinary man named Black.
[10:47] Aileen; Internal
    What kind of setup is that?!
[10:49] Aileen; Internal
    And why isn't the medicine working?
[10:52] Selena
    U-Um, did you try the cookies I made?
[10:57] Claude
    Yes.
[10:58] Selena
    So... how do you feel?
[11:02] Aileen; Internal
    Th-That woman...
[11:08] Aileen; Internal
    Did she make them with a love potion?!
[11:10] Aileen; Internal
    That might've affected the sleep potion!
[11:13] Claude
    I feel quite comfortable.
[11:14] Selena
    I-I see...
[11:20] Aileen; Internal
    Looks like I'm out of options now.

    A first-year student named Auguste.
[11:38] Audience 1
    Isn't he fighting against the demon lord?
[11:39] Audience 2
    Who do you think will win?
[11:41] Mob
    Definitely the demon lord!
[11:46] Claude
    You again.
[11:49] Claude
    What is it this time?
SIGN    Your fiancée is a terrible woman.
SIGN    I can't believe she got engaged to both brothers.
SIGN    How disgusting.
SIGN    She was thrown away by Prince Cédric.
SIGN    That shows how much she's worth.
[12:16] Audience A (Male)
    It's starting!
[12:23] Audience B (Female)
    The demon lord and...
[12:24] Audience C (Female)
    ...a duck?!
[12:26] Claude
    I was curious about you, but it seems
    like you're not a normal duck.
[12:31] Aileen; Internal
    I overdid it! I just wanted
    to get him a little angry...
[12:36] Claude
    You insulted my fiancée.
[12:39] Claude
    A simple apology isn't going to save you!
[12:44] Claude
    What an unsteady sword.
[12:46] Claude
    I can't even tell if you're a
    man or a woman. Who are you?
[12:51] Claude
    Oh, you don't have to say anything.
[12:54] Claude
    I'll just shred that costume
    of yours into pieces!
[13:02] Aileen; Internal
    Perfect. I'll get Lord Claude
    to destroy all the lanterns!
[13:08] Kyle
    Red!
SIGN    Are you all right?!
[13:14] Audience D (Male)
    What's going on?!

    It's a show before the finals!
[13:17] Audience F (Male)
    Wow!
[13:18] Claude
    Three against one, huh?
[13:20] Claude
    The duck suits are a real mystery.
SIGN    Ailey, someone from the church is lighting the lanterns!
[13:35] Claude
    Pay attention!
[13:46] Claude
    What are you trying to do?
[13:48] Claude
    You insulted Aileen on purpose, didn't you?
[13:52] Auguste
    Huh? What's going on?!
[13:54] Kyle
    Auguste, help us!
[13:56] Auguste
    H-Help you how?!
SIGN    Say things like, "The demon lord's fiancée is ugly!"
[14:03] Auguste
    That's something you shouldn't
    say even if it's true!
[14:14] Aileen; Internal
    Sh-Shoot!
[14:27] Aileen; Internal
    W-We did it!
[14:30] Aileen; Internal
    But...
[14:46] Auguste
    Hey, are you all right?!
[14:57] Auguste
    What in the world is going on?!
SIGN    W-We were doing a show before the finals!
SIGN    We wanted to show everyone the strength of the security force.
[15:04] Kyle
    Sorry about that, director!
[15:07] Claude
    You called my fiancée
    ugly to put on a show?
[15:13] Claude
    That red duck said particularly
    insulting things about my fiancée.
[15:17] Claude
    I won't stop until I slice it up.
[15:19] Claude
    And apologizing while hiding your
    faces doesn't seem very sincere.
SIGN    Y-You're absolutely right.
[15:31] Aileen; Internal
    This is bad. This is really bad!
[15:34] Keith
    What are you doing, my stupid lord?!
[15:38] Claude
    Keith, you're back.
[15:41] Keith
    Hello.
[15:43] Keith
    I got word that a certain someone was
    playing around and flew right over. Literally.
[15:48] Belzebuth
    My lord, we completed your
    orders and have now returned.
[15:52] Keith
    What is this mess?!
[15:54] Keith
    It's your fault! I'm sure of it!
[15:57] Claude
    I was the one who broke things,
    but it wasn't my fault.
[16:00] Keith
    That's not an acceptable excuse!
[16:02] Claude
    Don't be so angry. I arranged
    some presents for you.
[16:06] Claude
    The people lying around the
    arena are from the church.
[16:09] Keith
    Huh?
[16:11] Claude
    They planted something in the lanterns.
[16:14] Claude
    Collect them and find out what they are.
[16:18] Aileen; Internal
    He noticed the demon incense? When?
[16:23] Keith
    Our lord has caused you all a lot of trouble.
[16:27] Keith
    I will personally make sure he stays
    away from the rest of the school festival.
[16:32] Auguste
    What about the finals?
[16:36] Claude
    You won.
[16:37] Auguste
    Huh?
[16:38] Claude
    You won against my left hand.
    That makes you the winner.
[16:43] Auguste
    I won?
[16:45] Claude
    We should compete again someday.
[16:48] Claude
    As friends.
[16:51] Auguste
    Of course!
[16:56] Audience G (female)
    It's magic!
[16:57] Audience H (Female)
    I've never seen magic before!
[16:58] Audience I (female)
    Wow!
[17:00] Claude
    I'll leave the rest to you.
[17:02] Claude
    I'll find out who you are next time.
[17:13] Aileen; Internal
    With that, the first day of
    the school festival ended.
[17:17] Aileen; Internal
    The church retreated from
    the academy after that,
[17:20] Aileen; Internal
    but we still couldn't find the fake Ashtarte
    or the source of the demon incense.
SIGN    School Festival Day 2
[17:25] Ailey
    The prize for becoming the White
    Lily Princess is demon incense?
[17:28] Isaac
    Yeah. Jasper received an anonymous letter
    at his newspaper in the imperial capital.
[17:33] Auguste
    Ailey's secret organization is even
    connected with the newspaper?
[17:38] Auguste
    That's amazing!
[17:39] Kyle
    The ball is being targeted right
    after the swordsmanship tournament?
SIGN    We have to confirm the prize.
[17:45] James
    The prize is being guarded,
    so that's impossible.
[17:47] James
    The guardian association is
    responsible for the ball.
[17:50] Ailey
    What should we do, then?
[17:55] Rachel
    Um...
[17:56] Rachel
    Should I go and investigate?
[17:59] Rachel
    I can try to become the White
    Lily Princess and win the prize.
[18:03] Ailey
    That's it!
[18:04] Isaac
    Are you sure?
[18:05] Isaac
    Won't you faint the moment
    you stand on the stage?
[18:08] Rachel
    I-I can do it!
[18:10] Auguste
    People are saying that Rachel has the
    best chance to win against Selena,
[18:13] Auguste
    so I think it'll work out.
SIGN    I think it's possible.
[18:16] Kyle
    I have no objections.
[18:18] James
    Me, neither.
[18:20] Isaac
    Let's do it, then.
[18:23] Rachel
    I'll prepare my dress right away.
[18:25] Rachel
    Oh, I sold my dress...
[18:29] Ailey
    Don't worry. You'll make
    it in time for the ball.
[18:33] Ailey
    Go pick one out with Isaac.
[18:34] Isaac
    Huh? Why me?
[18:37] Ailey
    I'm counting on you.
[18:38] Isaac
    Fine. Let's go.
[18:44] Ailey
    Rachel.
[18:45] Rachel
    P-Please wait!
[18:51] Aileen; Internal
    I can't believe the prize for the
    White Lily Princess is demon incense.
[18:55] Aileen; Internal
    That's not how it went in the game...
[19:01] Rachel
    I'm sorry for the wait.
[19:04] Rachel
    I-Isaac said that something
    showy would be just right...
[19:08] Ailey
    Yeah, it looks great on you.
[19:12] Rachel
    I'll try my best!
[19:15] Rachel
    It may not look like it, but I have
    good etiquette and social skills.
[19:19] Rachel
    I'll prove myself to Sir Isaac!
[19:22] Ailey
    Will you ask Isaac to be your dance partner
    if you become the White Lily Princess?
[19:30] Ailey
    Why Isaac?
[19:34] Rachel
    When I suggested breaking off the engagement,
[19:36] Rachel
    my parents were against it,
    and my fiancé was really angry.
[19:40] Rachel
    Everyone blamed me, and I wasn't sure if
    it was the right thing to do anymore.
[19:45] Rachel
    But Isaac said just one thing...
[19:49] (Flashback) Isaac
    Excellent job.
[19:54] Rachel
    His words made me feel very proud of myself.
[19:58] Rachel
    That's why I'm going to try my best.
     I won't lose to Selena.
[20:03] Aileen; Internal
    She's just like me when I went to the ball.
[20:06] Selena
    Oh, Rachel. You entered the
    White Lily Princess competition?
[20:11] Rachel
    Yes. I changed my mind.
[20:13] Selena
    I see. Let's try our best, then.
[20:19] Selena
    That dress is really beautiful.
[20:21] Selena
    Let me have a look.
[20:25] Ailey
    Rachel?!
[20:27] Rachel
    I-I'm okay...
[20:30] Selena
    Oh, no! My dress!
[20:34] Girls
    Huh? Lady Selena fell down the stairs?!
[20:36] Girls
    Her dress got ripped.
[20:38] Girls
    Right before getting judged?
[20:40] Girls
    Did someone push her?
[20:42] Ailey
    Hey!
[20:43] Rachel
    Lord Ailey.
[20:44] Ailey
    Rachel...
[20:47] Selena
    Rachel, don't worry.
[20:50] Selena
    It was an accident. I can do
    something about the dress.
[20:55] Aileen; Internal
    This woman...
[20:56] Aileen; Internal
    How dare she do something like
    that to one of my precious juniors?!
[21:02] Selena
    Let's both do our best, fair and square!
[21:05] Isaac
    Hey, what happened?
[21:08] Isaac
    Are you okay?
[21:10] Rachel
    I'm fine.
[21:12] Isaac
    You're wobbling! You won't
    be able to dance like that.
[21:16] Rachel
    That's not true! I'm fine!
[21:20] Isaac
    Give up on becoming the White Lily Princess.
[21:23] Rachel
    But...
[21:28] Ailey
    Rachel, will you lend me that dress?
[21:45] James
    Are you serious?
SIGN    Ailey has a lot of courage.
[21:49] Kyle
    He might look good in it.
[21:57] Auguste
    No way...
[22:06] Aileen
    Hello, everyone.
