    ACEROLA BON APPÉTIT, PART ONE
    OFF SEASON BROADCAST NUMBER SEVEN
[00:19] ---
    I thought of the name "Kiss-shot Acerola-orion
    Heart-under-blade."
[00:26] ---
    If I say so myself, it's a cool, hearty,
    and most splendid name.
[00:34] ---
    However...
[00:35] ---
    to be honest,
    I slightly regret doing so.
[00:41] ---
    Perhaps I should not have
    given her a name.
[00:48] ---
    They often say...
[00:50] ---
    you become attached to your pet
    once you give it a name.
[00:54] ---
    Now whether that attachment
    was friendship, affection,
[00:57] ---
    or simply lust is something
    I'm unsure of in hindsight.
[01:03] ---
    But there is one thing
    I can say for certain.
[01:07] ---
    It was not appetite.
[01:10] ---
    Because Kiss-shot Acerola-orion
    Heart-under-blade
[01:20] ---
    doesn't sound too tasty
    for the name of a meal, right?
[01:41] ---
    Looks like I have died yet again.
[02:03] ---
    Um...
[02:08] ---
    I've been meaning to ask you.
[02:11] ---
    Is it delicious?
[02:13] ---
    That thing.
[02:14] ---
    Of course it's delicious. It's my head.
[02:18] ---
    But whether it's delicious or not
    doesn't matter much.
[02:21] ---
    Even if it tastes awful...
[02:23] ---
    I'll eat it.
[02:24] ---
    I eat the lives I kill.
[02:30] ---
    It's probably better if you stopped.
[02:34] ---
    You shouldn't poke your nose
    into someone else's eating habits, Princess.
[02:40] ---
    I'm worried about something else.
[02:43] ---
    What else is there?
[02:46] ---
    What part of me would make the princess
    of a ruined nation worry?
[02:50] ---
    I'm saying you should just
    give up on trying to kill me.
[02:57] ---
    Because something like that
[02:58] ---
    is absolutely impossible.
[03:02] ---
    How I died may differ,
    but the cause of death was the same.
[03:08] ---
    Cause of death, Princess Acerola.
[03:11] ---
    It's outrageous to say
[03:12] ---
    that the reason why you've been dying
    over and over like that would lie with me.
[03:19] ---
    If you had not tried to kill me,
    you would not have died even once.
[03:27] ---
    It's not an intent to kill.
    It's an appetite.
[03:32] ---
    I see.
[03:34] ---
    Then there's nothing we can do.
[03:37] ---
    Go ahead. Eat up.
[03:41] ---
    If you can manage to eat me, that is.
[03:50] ---
    You don't have to tell me!
[03:55] OS
    SUICIDE-MASTER
[03:58] ---
    It seems I have met my death
    for the fifth time.
[04:19] ---
    It seems I have died yet again.
[04:23] ---
    From the nuances I feel, it looks like
    I starved to death this time.
[04:27] ---
    Starving to death is unusual.
[04:29] ---
    What in the world happened to me?
[04:33] ---
    I see you have awoken, Master.
[04:37] ---
    Lift your head.
[04:42] ---
    Tropicalesque Home-awave Dogstrings.
[04:46] ---
    Nowadays, he's the only minion
    I have left.
[04:51] ---
    If you took any longer to awaken,
    I was thinking of having you eat me, Master.
[04:59] ---
    What happened?
[05:01] ---
    The reason you passed away this time
    was because of lack of food.
[05:07] ---
    It seems the humans of this kingdom
    have been eradicated.
[05:13] ---
    The humans of this kingdom
    have been eradicated?
[05:18] ---
    Come to think, it wasn't like
    I lacked vague memories that I can recall.
[05:23] ---
    I got hungry,
    so I headed out to eat a meal.
[05:26] ---
    However, not one human was in sight.
[05:28] ---
    A memory of being completely bewildered.
[05:31] ---
    A memory of lacking things to eat,
    feeling hunger and thirst, and withering away.
[05:39] ---
    A level of eradication where a vampire
    faces a shortage of food.
[05:44] ---
    Something like a plague?
[05:46] ---
    Did my food storage spoil?
[05:49] ---
    In a way, you could call it a plague.
[05:51] ---
    However, the name of the disease is beauty.
[05:57] ---
    Master, have you heard the fairy tale
    of the Beautiful Princess?
[06:03] OS
    A CRUEL FAIRY TALE
    PRINCESS ACEROLA
[06:04] ---
    I'd heard of a beauty that was alluring
    like a siren, but following that naming structure,
[06:10] ---
    the Beautiful Princess story that Tropicalesque
    retold to me was a beauty from a ruined nation.
[06:15] ---
    A princess who destroyed a nation
    purely from her beauty.
[06:19] ---
    A princess of mass slaughter.
[06:21] ---
    It was a fairy tale of great interest.
[06:25] ---
    What? So basically, a princess who ruined
    her own nation, then went into exile,
[06:30] ---
    and after much wandering
    she ended up at this kingdom.
[06:33] ---
    And that's why this kingdom fell to ruin?
[06:36] ---
    Yes.
[06:38] ---
    I hear every citizen, including the royalty and nobility,
    all gladly gave their lives to the Beautiful Princess.
[06:44] ---
    By offering what is most dear to them,
    they tried to repay her for her beauty.
[06:51] ---
    So she ruined an entire nation
    simply by existing.
[06:54] ---
    What kind of monster is this woman?
[06:57] ---
    She's not a monster.
    She's a human. A human female.
[07:02] ---
    It seems she has caused
    many nations to come to ruin
[07:06] ---
    by simply traveling and walking through.
[07:10] ---
    I see. A plague indeed.
[07:13] ---
    All right, I've made up my mind,
    Tropicalesque.
[07:16] ---
    For my wake-up meal this time around,
    I shall have a taste of that princess.
[07:21] ---
    That sounds more than fitting
    to be my first meal in a while.
[07:26] ---
    M-Master, that would be...
[07:29] ---
    I'm very particular about what I eat
    on an empty stomach. It must be special food.
[07:35] ---
    Allow me to voice my opinion, Master,
[07:38] ---
    but it would be better if you not do that.
[07:40] ---
    Please rethink your decision.
    I beg of you.
[07:45] ---
    Why, Tropicalesque?
[07:47] ---
    Are you telling me to starve to death
    once again?
[07:50] ---
    N-No, but the Beautiful Princess,
    as I mentioned earlier,
[07:55] ---
    is substantially more evil
    than the average monster—
[07:57] ---
    Tropicalesque. You are my minion.
[08:00] ---
    Are you worried that I would
    become captivated by this woman?
[08:07] ---
    You think that like those humans,
[08:09] ---
    I would idolize this princess
    and ultimately give my life to her?
[08:14] ---
    N-Not at all.
[08:17] ---
    I-If that's the case,
[08:19] ---
    how about you eat corpses lying around
    in the area to regain your strength first?
[08:25] ---
    That's what I did
    to tide myself over this situation.
[08:28] ---
    Listen, Tropicalesque.
[08:31] ---
    How you choose to procure nourishment
    is up to you.
[08:36] ---
    Eating the dead, eating corpses,
    do as you like.
[08:40] ---
    But those are your preferences,
    and not mine.
[08:46] ---
    I only eat humans that I killed myself.
[08:51] ---
    I kill, then eat.
[08:53] ---
    That's my policy.
[08:54] ---
    Both as a vampire, and as a gourmet.
    That's a stance I cannot yield on.
[09:00] ---
    I want to eat as little as possible
    if it was food that I did not kill myself.
[09:04] ---
    Right now my stomach is feeling
    like some Beautiful Princess,
[09:08] ---
    so I'm gonna eat some Beautiful Princess.
[09:10] ---
    Kill and eat a beauty
    from a fallen nation.
[09:13] ---
    I'll eat as I like, and I'll kill and eat.
    That's what I decided.
[09:16] ---
    Doing what I decide upon, and doing it
    in the matter I decided on, is who I am.
[09:29] ---
    Do not follow me, my servant.
[09:34] ---
    Understood.
[09:36] ---
    Your faithful servant
    will eagerly await your return.
[09:39] ---
    But please do be careful, Master.
[09:44] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[09:46] ---
    Stop calling me
    with such a commonplace title as "Master."
[09:51] ---
    It took me a while to notice
    as I have just awoken from slumber,
[09:54] ---
    but I don't recall allowing usage
    of such an ordinary title.
[09:57] ---
    I-I am terribly sorry!
[10:02] ---
    Please take care, Suicide-Master.
[10:06] ---
    The vampire of prepared death,
    inevitable death, and certain death...
[10:10] ---
    Deathtopia Virtuoso Suicide-Master!
[10:17] ---
    That's better.
[11:32] ---
    Are you all right?
[11:35] ---
    How long have I been dead?
[11:38] ---
    You were only dead for a very short while.
[11:41] ---
    And the one who murdered you
    was you, yourself.
[11:45] ---
    I don't get it. I myself did it?
[11:49] ---
    You committed suicide
    because you tried to kill me.
[11:54] ---
    The reason why you want to kill me...
[11:58] ---
    I sense that you have your own reasons,
    but please think twice about it.
[12:03] ---
    Please don't waste the life
    that you have regained.
[12:09] ---
    So, what?
[12:10] ---
    Not only did I hesitate
    on harming your beauty,
[12:14] ---
    but I couldn't forgive myself
    for committing such a savage act,
[12:17] ---
    and I tried to commit suicide?
[12:21] ---
    That would be it.
[12:23] ---
    Hey. I'm a monster.
[12:25] ---
    It seems so.
[12:27] ---
    I'm a vampire.
[12:29] ---
    Really?
    I didn't think they actually existed.
[12:32] ---
    I'm a monster who kills and eats humans.
[12:35] ---
    Then your actions were an attempt to eat me.
[12:40] ---
    I apologize for being unable
    to abide by that request.
[12:45] ---
    Something wrong?
[12:47] ---
    No.
[12:49] ---
    If you're hungry,
    how about you eat with me?
[12:53] ---
    I have some pot-au-feu
    that's just about done.
[12:56] ---
    I only eat creatures I kill myself.
[13:02] ---
    May I ask you for your name?
[13:06] ---
    The vampire of prepared death,
    inevitable death, and certain death...
[13:15] ---
    Deathtopia Virtuoso Suicide-Master.
[13:19] ---
    So Lady Suicide-Master.
[13:21] ---
    Ditch the "Lady."
    The name is an honorific in itself.
[13:25] ---
    Understood.
[13:29] ---
    I am Acerola.
[13:34] ---
    So you're not "Beautiful Princess"?
[13:36] ---
    That's from my childhood.
    A title, a derogatory name.
[13:41] ---
    Nowadays, there is nobody left
    that still calls me as such.
[13:45] ---
    Then I'll call you Princess Acerola.
[13:49] ---
    Do as you wish.
[13:51] ---
    I wasn't even a princess
    or anything to begin with.
[14:00] ---
    I wonder how things ended up this way.
[14:23] ---
    It seems I have died yet again.
[14:27] ---
    Being killed twice in a row in such
    short succession, and by the same person
[14:33] ---
    was a first in my long life as a vampire,
    as well as in my dietary life.
[14:44] OS
    WOW, SO JUICY
[14:45] OS
    MY HEART WOULDN'T BE ANYTHING LESS
[14:47] OS
    HOW FRESH IT IS
[14:48] OS
    THOUGH IT'S DEAD
[14:49] ---
    Immortal, I see.
[14:52] ---
    That is quite magnificent, Suicide-Master.
[14:55] ---
    I'm much honored by that compliment,
    Princess Acerola.
[14:59] ---
    I died yet again
    trying to eat you, didn't I?
[15:04] ---
    Yes, that is correct.
[15:06] ---
    But please don't let it get to you,
    Suicide-Master.
[15:10] ---
    It's all because I am just too beautiful.
[15:14] ---
    It seems I have greatly
    troubled this nation as well.
[15:19] ---
    I will leave right away,
    so please spare me.
[15:23] ---
    I guess the one I've been seeking
    wasn't in this country either.
[15:29] ---
    One she's been seeking?
[15:31] ---
    That doesn't sound like looking for food.
[15:36] ---
    So she's looking for someone as well?
[15:39] ---
    Oh, come to think,
    that's how the fairy tale went.
[15:42] ---
    A wandering journey
    in search of a soul to save.
[15:46] ---
    Right. The Beautiful Princess
    was that kind of fairy tale.
[15:49] ---
    But before that...
[15:51] ---
    Leave?
[15:52] ---
    Come on now.
    I can't allow such a thing to happen.
[15:56] ---
    What a selfish story.
[15:57] ---
    How many people need to die
    so that you can find one person to save?
[16:02] ---
    How many countries will you lay to ruin
    for your own salvation?
[16:07] ---
    Are you telling me to die?
[16:10] ---
    If I die...
[16:12] ---
    If I take my own life,
    that would make things easier for me.
[16:18] ---
    However, if the same problem
    were to happen again in the future,
[16:22] ---
    then that will not save them,
    as they will be forced
[16:26] ---
    to take their own life,
    just like how I did.
[16:30] ---
    Then, Princess Acerola,
    do you have any leads?
[16:34] ---
    If you continue on, and leave this country
    that you destroyed, and go to the next one,
[16:39] ---
    do you think the person you can save
    will be there?
[16:42] ---
    Won't you be repeating the same thing
    in the next country?
[16:47] ---
    It seems there's a misunderstanding,
[16:49] ---
    but I'm not ruining
    every country that I go to.
[16:54] ---
    As powerless as I am, I try to be as considerate
    as possible so such things don't happen.
[16:59] ---
    But you have your limits.
    You really are powerless.
[17:04] ---
    I have no intent in denying your conscience
    and your sense of aestheticism.
[17:09] ---
    But I must advise you that continuing your journey
    without much thought is simply reckless.
[17:15] ---
    You do have a point.
[17:17] ---
    Even if you say I'm reckless,
    I don't know any other way.
[17:22] ---
    I can only arrive at the answer
    by wandering around like this.
[17:27] ---
    No, that's not necessarily true.
[17:30] ---
    Look here, Princess Acerola.
[17:31] ---
    Though reluctantly, you ruined this kingdom.
[17:35] ---
    But you can make efficient usage
    of this situation.
[17:39] ---
    Efficient usage...
[17:42] ---
    You don't have to rush out
    at this point.
[17:45] ---
    You no longer have to worry
    about killing someone anymore.
[17:51] ---
    What are you talking about?
[17:53] ---
    There's worry that I will kill you,
    Suicide-Master.
[17:58] ---
    I'm an immortal monster.
[18:01] ---
    Death means nothing to me.
[18:04] ---
    Look, Princess. I'll tell you this.
[18:07] ---
    There's no other being like me.
[18:09] ---
    Someone staying at your side who keeps
    dying and dying, but coming back to life each time.
[18:13] ---
    I'm the one and only existence
    who can give you counsel.
[18:18] ---
    Counsel?
[18:19] ---
    Yeah.
[18:20] ---
    As you can see, I'm a monster,
    but that's not all.
[18:25] ---
    I have a smidgeon of understanding
    in magecraft as well.
[18:27] ---
    Call it necessary knowledge as a nonhuman.
[18:30] ---
    So I can at least assist you in figuring out
    a way to dispel the curse
[18:35] ---
    that the witch supposedly placed on you.
[18:38] ---
    What do you say?
[18:42] ---
    In return for assisting me,
[18:44] ---
    you want to detain me in this realm
    so you can seek out a chance to eat me?
[18:51] ---
    Brilliant answer.
[18:53] ---
    Is there any other relationship where the interests
    of each side match so perfectly?
[18:56] ---
    I see. It seems I have no choice
    but to work with you, Suicide-Master.
[19:04] ---
    Then, it's a pleasure to be here.
[19:12] ---
    For the first time,
[19:13] ---
    I had direct contact
    with her skin, and her flesh.
[19:17] ---
    No garment between us.
[19:20] ---
    An invasive softness and texture
[19:25] ---
    made me lose myself, and...
[19:33] ---
    It seems I have died yet again.
[19:36] ---
    The three deaths I have experienced
    were not deaths in vain,
[19:41] ---
    nor deaths with no purpose.
[19:43] ---
    If anything, it was a devilish death.
[19:45] ---
    I died like a devil.
[19:49] ---
    And so, I invited Princess Acerola
    to Corpse Castle.
[19:59] ---
    I am absolutely against this.
[20:01] ---
    What are you thinking, Master?
[20:04] ---
    It's preposterous to invite a lowly human
    into your abode, Master.
[20:09] ---
    You want me to not only take care of you,
    Master, but also a lowly human?
[20:15] ---
    That is too much to bear.
[20:17] ---
    So in your mind,
    you were taking care of me?
[20:21] ---
    This is my final decision.
    I didn't ask for your opinion.
[20:26] ---
    Don't worry. I don't intend on making you
    take care of a human.
[20:30] ---
    Instead, I was going to warn you ahead of time
    to stay away from Princess Acerola.
[20:37] ---
    Princess Acerola.
[20:39] ---
    O-Of all things, you have written the name
    of a lowly human into your memory, Suicide-Master?
[20:46] ---
    Because I am the vampire of prepared death,
    inevitable death, and certain death,
[20:52] ---
    I thought nothing of the protective wall
    that the princess has set up.
[20:55] ---
    But a vampire of your caliber
    won't stand a chance.
[20:58] OS
    T R O P I C A L E S Q U E
    D O G S T R I N G S
[20:59] s
    The instant you face her,
    you will shatter into pieces.
[21:02] ---
    Th-That is all the more reason...
[21:05] ---
    That is all the more reason, Suicide-Master.
[21:07] ---
    To let such a dangerous individual
    into the castle...
[21:10] ---
    As the caretaker and supervisor for the castle,
    this is something I cannot turn a blind eye towards.
[21:17] ---
    You're repeating yourself, Tropicalesque.
[21:19] ---
    That's enough.
[21:21] ---
    Have I ever overturned any decision
    that I have made?
[21:25] ---
    As you mentioned, this ingredient
    is quite a hassle to cook up.
[21:29] ---
    It looks like I can't swallow her whole.
[21:31] ---
    I have deduced that I need to make proper,
    careful preparations so that she becomes edible.
[21:37] ---
    So don't make that kind of face.
[21:40] ---
    It's only until I can get past that barrier of beauty
    so it becomes possible to kill the princess.
[21:45] ---
    It shall not take long.
[21:48] ---
    Acknowledged. But I won't be responsible
    should anything happen.
[21:54] ---
    So, Tropicalesque.
    I'd like to ask you for your opinion.
[21:59] ---
    What do you think I need to do
    to kill the Beautiful Princess?
