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?
