[00:02] ---
    Raise your heads.
[00:03] ---
    Yes.
[00:11] ---
    You all did well in fulfilling your roles
[00:14] ---
    during the events of Re-Estize Kingdom.
[00:19] ---
    Sebas. Solution. Step forward.
[00:30] ---
    You both worked diligently
    in long-term information collection.
[00:34] ---
    In response to your brilliant work,
    I give you rewards.
[00:38] ---
    --Sebas.
    --Yes.
[00:40] ---
    You asked for the life of Tuare to be spared,
[00:43] ---
    but I promised her protection
    to repay a debt that was owed.
[00:47] ---
    It was not in response to your hard work.
[00:50] ---
    So, I shall grant you
    something else you desire.
[00:53] ---
    Lord Ains, my only desire
    is to devote myself to...
[00:56] ---
    Know that it is sometimes
    displeasing to rule over the selfless.
[01:00] ---
    My apologies!
[01:01] ---
    If that is the case,
[01:04] ---
    I would like clothes
    and daily necessities for Tuare.
[01:08] ---
    Granted.
[01:09] ---
    You shall receive gold for such purchases.
[01:12] ---
    You may take Tuare with you as a date.
[01:15] ---
    A-Are you certain?
[01:17] ---
    I do not mind.
[01:19] ---
    Thank you very much.
[01:21] ---
    Now, Solution. Tell me what you wish for.
[01:26] ---
    I would love to receive some humans.
[01:29] ---
    If possible, I would like them alive.
[01:32] ---
    If they are innocent humans,
[01:35] ---
    it would bring me the utmost happiness.
[01:38] ---
    Living humans, huh? Granted.
[01:41] ---
    However, I will not allow innocent ones.
[01:44] ---
    Forgive me for being unable
    to grant your wish completely.
[01:48] ---
    I am unworthy of such words!
[01:52] ---
    Now, Entoma.
[01:53] ---
    Yes.
[01:55] ---
    It seems your voice has yet to return.
[01:58] ---
    Does my voice irritate your ears?
[02:00] ---
    Not at all.
[02:02] ---
    You have also worked hard.
    Do you have a wish you want granted?
[02:07] ---
    Then, Lord Ains...
[02:09] ---
    If the need to kill that brat ever arises,
    please give me that order.
[02:14] ---
    I wish to steal that woman's voice.
[02:18] ---
    Ah, that girl with the suspicious mask.
[02:22] ---
    I understand. I shall call for you
    when such a time arises.
[02:26] ---
    I am thankful for the depths
    of your compassion, Lord Ains.
[04:15] ---
    Ah, this is the best!
[04:19] ---
    I've tried various methods to clean
    the crevices of this troublesome body...
[04:24] ---
    As I thought, slime baths are the best!
[04:29] ---
    This method cleans every corner of my body.
[04:33] ---
    Truly groundbreaking and creative!
[04:36] ---
    A perfect answer to the problem!
[04:43] ---
    I could only use saunas in my old world.
[04:47] ---
    I want to take a long bath,
    now that I know one is available.
[04:52] ---
    The act of bathing
[04:53] ---
    is probably rooted deeply
    into all the hearts of the Japanese.
[05:01] ---
    Come to think of it,
[05:02] ---
    Demiurge told me that
    Sebas was doing well with Tuare.
[05:06] ---
    If they have their date in E-Rantel,
[05:08] ---
    maybe I'll tail them
    while wearing my jealousy mask...
[05:12] ---
    Just kidding.
[05:15] ---
    However, having your subordinates
    enjoy their day off is
[05:19] ---
    also the duty of a superior.
[05:25] ---
    Do not leave a single speck of dust behind!
[05:28] ---
    --Yes.
    --Yee!
[05:30] ---
    For the time when I rule
    the Great Tomb of Nazarick!
[05:35] ---
    Yee!
[05:38] ---
    Hm?
[05:40] ---
    Good morning.
    Another truly wonderful morning!
[05:54] ---
    Cixous, you look extra perfect today!
[05:58] ---
    That's because I'm taking care
    of Lord Ains today.
[06:01] ---
    Oh, you're going all out today!
[06:06] ---
    M-Miss Lupisregina!
[06:08] ---
    Please don't scare us like that! Goodness!
[06:11] ---
    I thought my heart would
    jump right out of my chest!
[06:16] ---
    Thanks for the great reaction, you three.
[06:19] ---
    I'll try it out in the village next time!
[06:21] ---
    Village?
[06:22] ---
    I'm working at a human's village
    called Carne Village!
[06:25] ---
    A human's... That must be hard.
[06:28] ---
    Not really!
[06:31] ---
    But, to be honest, it's a bit boring.
[06:35] ---
    Let me go! Please let me go!
[06:37] ---
    I have an important mission called cleaning!
[06:41] ---
    It's CZ!
[06:42] ---
    CZ!
[06:44] ---
    --CZ is so cute!
    --There you are.
[06:51] ---
    I-It's coming out... M-My insides...
[06:56] ---
    Stop using Complete Invisibility
    all the time like that.
[06:59] ---
    Sorry 'bout that!
[07:01] ---
    On top of that, you've
    already started eating.
[07:05] ---
    You said we would eat together.
[07:08] ---
    Whoops!
[07:11] ---
    That was such a surprise!
[07:13] ---
    But, we were able to speak
    with Miss Lupisregina.
[07:19] ---
    No, no. I'm taking care of Lord Ains today.
[07:24] ---
    Right, I'm off!
[07:30] ---
    Good morning, Lord Ains.
[07:33] ---
    Yes.
[07:38] ---
    All of you always arrive so early.
[07:41] ---
    You can rest until
    your scheduled time, you know.
[07:45] ---
    With all due respect,
[07:46] ---
    serving the Supreme One gives
    us maids and eight-edge assassins
[07:52] ---
    great happiness.
[07:53] ---
    Please allow us to stay by your side.
[07:57] ---
    I am not reproaching you for it.
[08:00] ---
    Were you able to rest well yesterday?
[08:02] ---
    Yes. In order to serve the Supreme One
    with every fiber of my being,
[08:06] ---
    I rested for the entire day!
[08:09] ---
    I see.
[08:13] ---
    We're like a sweatshop corporation.
[08:18] ---
    If I don't order them to take breaks,
[08:19] ---
    they work twenty-four hours a day.
[08:22] ---
    Just how loyal can they be?!
[08:25] ---
    Reforming the work mentality of the NPCs
    is another problem that needs work.
[08:29] ---
    Lord Ains, Lord Demiurge
    wishes to meet with you.
[08:38] ---
    I had Albedo take a day off.
[08:41] ---
    A day off?
[08:43] ---
    I suggested enjoying some time
    with the other female floor guardians.
[08:48] ---
    So.
[08:49] ---
    I have prepared this
    for the male floor guardians.
[08:53] ---
    I wanted to have Sebas join us,
    but he is busy with Tuare.
[08:57] ---
    I will invite him next time.
[09:00] ---
    This is...?
[09:01] ---
    An information circular.
[09:06] ---
    Come, my cavalry beast.
[09:10] ---
    Wow! He's completely different
    from a normal bicorn!
[09:14] ---
    Look at the size of his horns!
    And his muscles are so taut!
[09:17] ---
    That's right,
[09:18] ---
    he is referred to as a War Bicorn Lord.
[09:22] ---
    Well, it is actually a level 100 bicorn.
[09:29] ---
    I see. So what's he called?
[09:32] ---
    A bicorn.
[09:33] ---
    I'm not asking what species it is.
    It's personal name.
[09:36] ---
    Is that necessary?
[09:37] ---
    Well, it's your pet, Albedo.
[09:39] ---
    He is not really a pet...
[09:42] ---
    And, how can we be sure the same bicorn
    is summoned each time?
[09:47] ---
    --Then, why not ask Kyouhukou?
    --Huh?!
[09:51] ---
    He is skilled at summoning his own kind.
[09:54] ---
    Kyouhukou? Please stop joking.
[09:57] ---
    He is loyal to Nazarick,
[09:59] ---
    so I feel bad for disliking
    him, but I just...
[10:01] ---
    Yeah, I know what you mean.
[10:03] ---
    Kyouhukou's family tends to
    crawl into the openings of your clothes.
[10:08] ---
    You know, they just skitter up.
[10:09] ---
    How disgusting!
[10:11] ---
    Don't word it in such a way
    that makes one itch!
[10:13] ---
    So, everyone feels the same way.
[10:16] ---
    Back to the topic at hand,
    you're not going to name him?
[10:20] ---
    Well, if Lord Ains allows me to do so,
[10:23] ---
    I would like to give it a name
    packed with my feelings.
[10:26] ---
    Like, Top of the World!
[10:30] ---
    Is that a name referring to our Lord Ains?
[10:37] ---
    Well, whatever.
[10:38] ---
    Okay, let's start the next experiment.
[10:47] ---
    Wh-What's wrong?!
[10:51] ---
    G-Get off for now, Albedo!
[10:54] ---
    Y-Yes.
[10:59] ---
    Albedo, did you get too heavy?
[11:02] ---
    How rude! Taking my muscle mass into account,
[11:05] ---
    I am properly within the normal
    expected weight range!
[11:10] ---
    What's wrong with him?
[11:12] ---
    I wonder.
[11:17] ---
    It cannot be helped. I
    shall find out for you!
[11:25] ---
    Encyclopedia by Lord Peroroncino!
[11:31] ---
    It is a reward I received from Lord Ains!
[11:34] ---
    Bi... Bi... Bico...
[11:38] ---
    I received an armband from Lord Ains, myself.
[11:44] ---
    I, as well...
[11:50] ---
    Though, I wish I could receive
    something special meant only for me.
[11:56] ---
    Something special from Lord Ains...
[11:59] ---
    Bicorn!
[12:01] ---
    --You found it?
    --Let me see...
[12:03] ---
    It is said that bicorns symbolize impurity.
[12:07] ---
    Unicorns only allow
    pure maidens upon their backs,
[12:11] ---
    but bicorns are the opposite.
[12:13] ---
    It is impossible for pure maidens
    to ride upon their backs...
[12:17] ---
    --Huh?
    --Huh?
[12:19] ---
    --Huh?!
    --Huh?! No way. Albedo?
[12:24] ---
    What is that supposed to mean?
[12:25] ---
    Huh? But aren't you a succubus, Albedo?
[12:29] ---
    --Su... Succu... Succubus. Succubus...
[12:30] ---
    --That's right, I am a succubus!
    --Su... Succu... Succubus. Succubus...
[12:34] ---
    I'm sorry I don't have
    any experience with men.
[12:37] ---
    I've always been in the throne room,
[12:39] ---
    as overseer of the floor guardians!
[12:42] ---
    I hardly ever come in contact with anyone!
[12:45] ---
    To begin with, Lord Ains has yet
    to ever summon me to his bed...
[12:51] ---
    What about you, Shalltear?
[12:53] ---
    Huh?!
[12:55] ---
    Well, with the same sex...
[12:57] ---
    Whoa!
[12:58] ---
    Well! There are no good men!
[13:02] ---
    I like them better dead,
    but I don't like them rotten...
[13:05] ---
    Right?! Right?!
[13:06] ---
    Even if you ask for my agreement,
    that's a bit...
[13:11] ---
    Well, now we know why
    I cannot ride the bicorn.
[13:14] ---
    Impossible. Ridiculous.
[13:17] ---
    That's right! I'll just
    have Lord Ains help me!
[13:21] ---
    That isn't fair!
[13:23] ---
    It is something necessary for me
    as overseer of the floor guardians!
[13:30] ---
    You can only get a man
    to sleep with you for work...
[13:33] ---
    That is pathetic for a woman!
[13:39] ---
    Hey, is this all right?
[13:40] ---
    Aren't we taking the day off
    due to the wishes of Lord Ains?
[13:44] ---
    But, what am I supposed to do with a day off?
[13:48] ---
    What do you two normally do?
[13:51] ---
    I usually make rounds
    from the first to the third floors.
[13:55] ---
    If I have time left over,
    I take a bath or fix up my clothes...
[13:59] ---
    A bath...
[14:02] ---
    Come to think of it,
    there is a spa on the ninth floor.
[14:15] ---
    That it is!
[14:17] ---
    Just like that, Hamusuke!
[14:19] ---
    I wish to learn martial arts quickly, I do!
[14:22] ---
    Though, that ain't an easy thing to do.
[14:25] ---
    Martial Arts require compatibility.
[14:27] ---
    I shall try my best, I shall!
[14:29] ---
    I shall not lose against a Death Knight!
[14:34] ---
    That it is!
[14:40] ---
    S-Sorry for making you wait.
[14:43] ---
    Oh, my, my. If it isn't Lord Mare!
[14:46] ---
    Hello, Mr. Pulcinella.
    What business do you have today?
[14:52] ---
    Yes. As you know, I am currently
    working under Lord Demiurge.
[14:59] ---
    I have come today on his behalf.
[15:01] ---
    Please accept this.
[15:03] ---
    Th-Thank you very much.
[15:07] ---
    U-Um, what is Mr. Demiurge doing right now?
[15:12] ---
    Breeding experiments.
[15:14] ---
    It is impossible to breed humans
    with non-human species!
[15:19] ---
    What a sad thing that is.
[15:22] ---
    Even if there is love between
    two species, it cannot bear fruit.
[15:28] ---
    My master is working hard
    to save such people.
[15:33] ---
    A chance for something between
    humans and non-human species!
[15:37] ---
    Ah, I have spoken too much.
[15:41] ---
    I have delivered
    the information circular to you.
[15:43] ---
    I must head back to bring
    happiness to many...
[15:47] ---
    Th-Thank you very much!
[15:58] ---
    To all male floor guardians...
[16:01] ---
    First, do not relay this circular
    to the female floor guardians.
[16:16] ---
    A-All right! I have to deliver this
    to Mr. Cocytus quickly.
[16:24] ---
    So noisy. I demand silence!
[16:30] ---
    Silence.
[16:31] ---
    Hmm. Is this position good?
[16:34] ---
    Would it look cooler if
    I faced it a bit more inwards?
[16:39] ---
    So noisy. I demand silence!
[16:44] ---
    Now this pose is complete.
[16:48] ---
    Next, I should practice
    the lines I use to buy time.
[16:51] ---
    "The Path to Overlord No. 3"
[16:53] ---
    To begin with, it's impossible
    for a normal office worker like myself
[16:57] ---
    to be a faultless and supreme overlord.
[17:04] ---
    But, what do I need to do
    to create an admirable air that is worthy
[17:10] ---
    of the overlord of Nazarick
    without destroying the image
[17:12] ---
    everyone has of Ains Ooal Gown?
[17:17] ---
    I want to take a break.
[17:19] ---
    What am I doing?! Work harder, self!
[17:23] ---
    Lord Ains, it is time.
[17:26] ---
    Well, it can't be helped then.
[17:35] ---
    That's enough practice for today!
[17:50] ---
    All right, I sat down
    in a way befitting of a ruler!
[17:53] ---
    Well, not that I really know
    how a ruler would sit down.
[17:58] ---
    Now, then. Mare, what is it?
[18:02] ---
    Y-Yes! U-Um, that is, well...
[18:06] ---
    I am delivering this to you!
[18:10] ---
    What is it, Mare?
[18:12] ---
    Is there something interesting on my face?
[18:15] ---
    N-No, not at all!
[18:18] ---
    I was just admiring
    how cool you are, Lord Ains...
[18:21] ---
    Me?
[18:24] ---
    You are good at flattery, Mare.
[18:25] ---
    It is not flattery! E-Excuse me, Lord Ains.
[18:31] ---
    But I really do think you are cool!
[18:34] ---
    Even just sitting down in your chair,
[18:36] ---
    you moved in a way befitting
    of the overlord of Nazarick...
[18:43] ---
    I see. That makes me happy.
[18:47] ---
    Thank you, Mare.
[18:49] ---
    Your words always please me.
[18:55] ---
    It always makes me thankful of my comrades.
[19:00] ---
    Thankful to the supreme beings?
[19:02] ---
    That's right.
[19:04] ---
    I am thankful we created
    the Great Tomb of Nazarick together
[19:09] ---
    and that they created all of you.
[19:13] ---
    Of course, that includes you two
    as well, Albedo and Cixous.
[19:17] ---
    Y-You know the name of someone like me...?
[19:20] ---
    You are all my treasures.
[19:27] ---
    I wouldn't even want to give you up
    to Bukubuku Chagama herself.
[19:45] ---
    Lord Ains...
[19:48] ---
    Among all the supreme beings
    that have disappeared,
[19:52] ---
    all of Nazarick is thankful
    that you have stayed behind for us.
[20:01] ---
    I know it is rude of me to speak
    in this manner toward our creator.
[20:07] ---
    But please, allow us to continue
    pledging our loyalty to you!
[20:12] ---
    I shall allow it. I am the master
    of the Great Tomb of Nazarick,
[20:17] ---
    your master, Ains Ooal Gown, himself!
[20:24] ---
    Now, Mare. Go wash your face.
[20:31] ---
    Lord Ains! There is no need
    to hold back any longer, right?
[20:37] ---
    You are to blame, Lord Ains!
[20:39] ---
    --Wait... Hey...
    --I can no longer contain myself
    after hearing those words!
[20:41] ---
    It'll be over by the time you finish counting
[20:43] ---
    --the eight-edge assassins on the ceiling!
    --Wait... Huh...? Um...
[20:45] ---
    --Lady Albedo, gone mad!
    --What are you doing, Albedo!
[20:47] ---
    --Lady Albedo, gone mad!
    --Get off of me! Don't take off my clothes!
[20:49] ---
    --Gone mad!
    --Get off of me! Don't take off my clothes!
[20:50] ---
    --Gone mad! Gone mad!
    --Don't move your hips! Hey!
[20:57] ---
    What power!
[20:58] ---
    --As expected of the overseer
    of the floor guardians!
    --Lord Ains! Why is it so comforting to be on top of you...?
[21:00] ---
    --Lord Mare, we request assistance!
    --Lord Ains! Why is it so comforting
    to be on top of you...?
[21:02] ---
    --Assistance!
    --Lord Ains! Why is it so comforting
    to be on top of you...?
[21:03] ---
    Y-Yes...
[21:05] ---
    Just a bit!
[21:06] ---
    --Lord Ains...
    --Just a bit of your mercy!
[21:08] ---
    --Lord Ains! Lord Ains! Lord Ains!
[21:10] ---
    --Calm down!!
    --Lord Ains! Lord Ains! Lord Ains!
[21:45] ---
    You haven't changed at all, Cocytus.
[21:47] ---
    Well, being naked is his normal state.
[21:50] ---
    Please do not word things in a way
    that makes me seem like a pervert.
[21:56] ---
    Sorry. Your body is made
    of hardened armor, after all.
[21:59] ---
    Thank you very much.
[22:01] ---
    --There! There!
    --Thank you, Mare. I'll wash your back next.
[22:05] ---
    I-I wouldn't dare!
[22:07] ---
    You're pretty hairy down there, Albedo.
[22:11] ---
    Aura, don't word it strangely like that!
[22:15] ---
    Lord Ains is behind this wall, is he not?
[22:18] ---
    I wonder if there is a peep hole anywhere?
[22:20] ---
    Isn't it usually the other way around?
[22:22] ---
    The other way around would never happen.

    Lord Ains would merely need
    to command us to show him.
[22:29] ---
    My apologies, Lord Ains!
[22:32] ---
    The overseer of the floor guardians,
    speaking in such a manner...
[22:36] ---
    --I shall stop her immediately!
    --No, well, yeah!
[22:38] ---
    I'm sure Albedo has a lot on her plate.
[22:41] ---
    Allow her to relax when she bathes.
[22:43] ---
    Understood.
[22:45] ---
    Huh? Wait. You plan to just go in?
    You have to wash your body first...
[22:52] ---
    What? A lion has started to move?
[22:56] ---
    People lacking bathing manners
    have no right to enter the baths!
[23:00] ---
    This is divine punishment!
[23:02] ---
    A guardian of the baths?
    I have never heard of such a being...
[23:07] ---
    No, that is Luci★Fer's voice!
[23:10] ---
    One of the supreme beings?!
[23:13] ---
    So hard! This is no normal
    iron golem! Albedo!
[23:16] ---
    You golem-craft scum!
[23:22] ---
    Don your armor and weapons.
    We will enter the women's bath!
[23:26] ---
    Hopefully it's one of his pranks,
[23:28] ---
    but Albedo and the others
    should all be empty-handed!
[23:30] ---
    Yes!
[23:32] ---
    I hope we'll be able
    to take our time next time...
[23:35] ---
    Die!
[23:38] ---
