[00:02] Albedo
Lord Momonga...
[00:13] Albedo
Sorcerer Kingdom Ains Ooal Gown...
[00:18] Albedo
I wonder what kind of kingdom
Lord Ains plans to create.
[00:25] Albedo
Either way, my duty is to follow
his orders without question.
[00:30] Albedo
My beloved lord...
[00:36] Albedo
Lord Ains!

[01:01] Ains
Time to wake up.
[01:02] Foire
Yes. Then, I will submit my daily report
and change shifts with today's maid.
[01:08] Ains
You worked hard staying up all night.
I hope you rest well.
[01:12] Foire
I am undeserving of such words!
[01:14] Foire
It is my duty to do everything within
my capabilities to serve my master!
[01:20] Momonga
She still doesn't get it...
[01:23] Ains
Oops.
[01:25] Ains
I wish they'd stop the bedside shifts, though.
[01:29] Ains
Perfect.
[01:31] Momonga
I wonder what would happen if I said
I wanted to live with them as equals.
[01:37] Fith
Good morning, Lord Ains!
[01:39] Fith
I will be assisting you today.
[01:40] Momonga
I wonder if I'd be able to spend my days
like I used to with my old comrades.
[01:48] Fith
So, what would you like to wear today?
[01:52] Ains
Fith, I will leave it to you.
[01:56] Fith
Understood!
Please leave it to me, Lord Ains!
[02:02] Ains
There's one thing I'd like to ask...
[02:04] Ains
Isn't this robe a little too flashy for me?
[02:08] Fith
Not at all!
[02:10] Fith
I firmly believe that an absolute ruler such
as yourself looks wonderful in everything!
[02:14] Fith
Although the black garments
you wear are also wonderful,
[02:16] Fith
it is nice to see you
in other colors, as well...
[02:19] Ains
Here you go, Nurunuru.
[02:22] Ains
Time to eat.
[02:24] Fith
Lord Ains,
[02:26] Fith
Lady Albedo and the Elder Liches
are here to see you.
[02:29] Ains
I see. Let them in.
[02:34] Albedo
Good morning, Lord Ains.
[02:37] Albedo
What dashing clothes.
[02:39] Albedo
You seem to be glowing.
[02:41] Albedo
No! It must be because you wear them that
these clothes can shine so brilliantly!
[02:45] Ains
I see.
[02:46] Ains
Thank you, Albedo.
[02:48] Albedo
I am undeserving of such words!
[02:50] Albedo
I was merely stating the truth!
You are truly...
[02:54] Ains
That's enough.
[02:55] Ains
So, these are the documents
you all organized last night?
[03:00] Albedo
Yes.
[03:03] Ains
Hmm.
[03:06] Momonga
Yup, I don't understand any of it.
[03:10] Momonga
There's no way a regular salaryman
can run an entire country.
[03:15] Momonga
But I still have to look the part,
[03:18] Momonga
so I guess I'll go through the
documents, even just for show.
[03:22] Momonga
This is the last one?
[03:24] Momonga
Uh, this one...
[03:27] Momonga
It's a report about some materials,
[03:30] Momonga
but I don't understand much about it...
[03:34] Albedo
Did something catch your attention?
[03:36] Ains
Hm?
[03:37] Ains
No, nothing much.
[03:39] Ains
Wh-What is the status on the laws
of the Sorcerer Kingdom?
[03:42] Albedo
I have discussed the issue with Demiurge and
we've come up with an initial draft, but...
[03:46] Ains
I have confidence in many things,
[03:50] Ains
but I am not very
knowledgeable in social law.
[03:53] Albedo
A supreme one such as yourself?
[03:57] Albedo
I see. An absolute ruler would never
be bound by any law, after all.
[04:03] Ains
Um. Well, yeah.
[04:05] Ains
So, I'll allow you to do
things as you see fit.
[04:08] Ains
I believe in you.
[04:10] Albedo
Yes! Understood!
[04:16] Albedo
Lord Ains?
[04:17] Ains
Sorry.
[04:19] Ains
Your happy expression looked so cute...
[04:22] Ains
It's hard for me to explain
my feelings right now.
[04:27] Albedo
Oh, my! I'm so embarrassed!
[04:30] Ains
Ahem! Well, then...
[04:37] Ains
Now, it's time to do the usual.
[04:40] Ains
These are various proposals
from everyone in Nazarick.
[04:43] Ains
I am going through them personally
to keep their anonymity.
[04:46] Momonga
That way I can sneak in my own ideas, too.
[04:49] Ains
The first one states,
[04:51] Ains
"I think it would be good to set up an
educational system for the children."
[04:55] Ains
"If we find and raise talented individuals,
they will continue to strengthen Nazarick."
[05:02] Albedo
That is probably a
suggestion from Yuri Alpha.
[05:04] Albedo
How utterly foolish.
[05:06] Albedo
Pigs should live as pigs,
living and dying for their master.
[05:11] Ains
I agree. Knowledge is worth
more when it's monopolized.
[05:16] Ains
However, I think it is a good
idea to accept this proposal.
[05:23] Ains
It's a bit different from
Yuri's original proposal,
[05:25] Ains
but I think we should establish
an orphanage in E-Rantel.
[05:29] Ains
The problem is allowing Nazarick's skills
and technology to leak to outsiders.
[05:33] Ains
If that's the case,
we can raise candidates there
[05:36] Ains
and only give our knowledge
to talented individuals.
[05:38] Ains
We can hire the widows of
the last battle as workers.
[05:44] Albedo
You plan to aid those poverty-stricken
women by giving them jobs.
[05:49] Albedo
It would be an excellent method to
increase your fame among the masses.
[05:53] Ains
Have Pestonya and Nigredo
take care of this issue.
[05:57] Ains
They are no longer under house arrest.
[06:00] Albedo
Allow me to remind you...
[06:02] Albedo
During our attack on the royal capital,
[06:03] Albedo
they were ordered to kill
the humans you captured
[06:06] Albedo
in order to keep Nazarick and
Jaldabaoth's relationship a secret.
[06:10] Albedo
Those two went against orders
and sheltered the infants.
[06:15] Albedo
They should be beheaded for
their unacceptable actions.
[06:20] Ains
Albedo.
[06:22] Albedo
Lord Ains, please don't look at me like that.
[06:25] Ains
Huh?
[06:28] Albedo
Your words are absolute.
[06:31] Albedo
I will release them from house arrest.
[06:34] Ains
Good. I'll leave it to you, then.
[06:37] Albedo
Yes.
[06:38] Ains
Now, the next proposal.
[06:40] Ains
"I would like to suggest making uniforms and
giving Nazarick a stronger sense of unity..."
[06:45] Albedo
An exceedingly tasteless proposal.
[06:47] Albedo
Who suggested such a thing?
[06:49] Momonga
I'm sorry! It was me!
[06:51] Albedo
I will look into it immediately and
punish the foolish perpetrator.
[06:55] Ains
Definitely don't do that!
[06:57] Ains
When I asked for everyone for suggestions,
[06:59] Ains
I promised there would be no repercussions!
[07:01] Albedo
Yes.
[07:05] Fith
Lord Ains, Lady Aura and
Lord Mare are here to see you.
[07:08] Ains
Let them in.
[07:12] Aura
Good morning, Lord Ains!
[07:16] Mare
G-Good morning, Lord Ains.
[07:19] Ains
Yes. Good morning.
[07:20] Aura
Morning, Albedo!
[07:22] Albedo
The two of you didn't even make
an appointment. To suddenly...
[07:25] Albedo
Aura?
[07:33] Ains
Is this what you wanted?
[07:35] Albedo
Wh-What are you doing, Lord Ains?
[07:38] Aura
Thank you very much!
[07:44] Ains
You, too, Mare?
[07:49] Albedo
Um, Lord Ains. M-Me, too...
[07:55] Ains
Albedo, you're an adult.
[08:00] Ains
What brings the two of you here?
[08:02] Aura
We missed you and wanted to see you!
[08:06] Ains
I see. I'm glad to see
the two of you, as well.
[08:10] Albedo
L-Lord Ains...
[08:13] Albedo
W-Waah...
[08:17] Albedo
Waaah!
[08:19] Mare
Um. Well, I'm fine.
[08:23] Mare
So, um, let Lady Albedo...
[08:25] Ains
Sorry, Mare.
[08:27] Ains
Come here, Albedo.
[08:29] Albedo
Yes!
[08:32] Ains
Sorry. Could you sit down on your own?
[08:38] Momonga
So soft. And...
[08:39] Momonga
Hm? This scent...
[08:41] Albedo
Is there a problem?
[08:43] Ains
No, you smell nice.
[08:46] Albedo
Would you like to sniff me some more?
[08:49] Albedo
For an hour or the rest of the day?!
[08:52] Ains
No, an hour is too much.
[08:56] Ains
Th-Then will you let me sniff you a bit?
[08:59] Momonga
Like I thought, this scent
is really familiar...
[09:01] Aura
Lord Ains.
[09:03] Aura
You look a bit like a pervert.
[09:06] Ains
S-Sorry.
[09:08] Ains
Time to get off, you two.
[09:13] Albedo
Lord Ains, Aura got on first,
so I should be allowed a little longer...
[09:18] Aura
You're with Lord Ains way more than us.
[09:21] Albedo
That can't be helped. It's work.
[09:24] Aura
I see. You see him because of work.
[09:27] Aura
I came just because I wanted
to be with Lord Ains!
[09:32] Momonga
I can understand Albedo,
but why is Aura acting like this?
[09:36] Momonga
I see. She probably wants to monopolize me.
[09:38] Momonga
Because she sees me as her father?
[09:41] Momonga
Either way, she'll need proper
emotional development.
[09:44] Momonga
I wonder if she could make some friends
in the kingdom of dark elves...
[09:48] Mare
L-Lord Ains?
[09:52] Ains
Hm? Oh, sorry.
[09:54] Ains
My mind was wandering.
[09:56] Albedo
Were you thinking about the previous issue?
[09:58] Ains
Yes, that's right. That issue.
[10:01] Momonga
Wait, what issue?!
[10:02] Albedo
I have some ideas about that issue myself.
[10:06] Ains
A-As expected of you, Albedo.
[10:08] Mare
Wh-What issue?
[10:10] Albedo
Lord Ains, I think these two
should be included, as well.
[10:14] Ains
Then, Albedo, explain
everything to them gently.
[10:19] Ains
Yes, in an easily understandable manner.
[10:21] Ains
Also, you should get off now.
[10:25] Albedo
Yes.
[10:27] Albedo
We've discovered that there is a
severe lack of goods in E-Rantel.
[10:33] Aura
Really?
[10:34] Momonga
Really?!
[10:35] Momonga
She's talking about that document...
[10:38] Albedo
E-Rantel was originally a city of trade.
[10:41] Albedo
But we've hardly had any merchants visit
since Lord Ains took over the city.
[10:47] Albedo
The amount of goods in circulation
have only continued to drop.
[10:49] Aura
So, what are we going to do?
[10:51] Mare
I-It'll be okay, Sis.
Lord Ains will fix everything.
[10:55] Aura
Right!
[10:57] Ains
Albedo, haven't you already taken some steps?
[10:59] Albedo
Yes. Demiurge is taking action
within the kingdom as we speak.
[11:04] Ains
I see.
[11:05] Momonga
As expected.
[11:07] Momonga
But wasn't he currently laying some
foundations in the Holy Kingdom?
[11:11] Albedo
There is something I would like to
get your approval on, Lord Ains.
[11:14] Albedo
May I personally go to the Re-Estize Kingdom?
[11:19] Ains
What?
[11:20] Ains
Since you're responsible for all
of Nazarick's domestic affairs,
[11:24] Ains
that would be difficult...
[11:25] Albedo
I will return as soon as possible!
[11:27] Albedo
Pandora's Actor will take care
of things here while I am absent.
[11:31] Ains
L-Leave things to him?!
[11:33] Ains
I'll speak with him
directly about this, then.
[11:36] Ains
Fine, Albedo.
[11:37] Ains
I expect great gains from your trip.
[11:39] Ains
And regarding Demiurge...
[11:41] Ains
No, never mind.
[11:44] Ains
Now, let's continue.
Since the two of you are here,
[11:47] Ains
I'll listen to your opinions, as well.
[11:48] Mare
Opinions?
[11:50] Ains
Yes.
[11:51] Ains
I'm looking for ideas to
improve the Sorcerer Kingdom.
[11:55] Ains
Anything is fine.
[11:56] Aura
Yes! I have a good idea!
[11:59] Ains
Speak.
[12:01] Aura
I think all the boys should dress as girls
[12:03] Aura
and all the girls dress as boys!
[12:06] Mare
I-I also agree!
[12:09] Momonga
Bukubuku Chagama!
[12:13] Momonga
I can't believe even Albedo agreed,
[12:15] Momonga
just because it was the preference
of one of the supreme beings.
[12:19] Momonga
If I hadn't convinced them otherwise,
[12:21] Momonga
the Sorcerer Kingdom would
have become a crazy place...
[12:30] Ains
Wake up, Hamusuke.
[12:32] Hamusuke
Already?
[12:35] Hamusuke
Oh! Master!
[12:37] Ains
Call me Lord Ains in public.
[12:40] Ains
You're the riding beast
of the great hero Momon.
[12:43] Hamusuke
Of course I am, Master!
[12:45] Ains
Right.
[12:46] Ains
Why is that Death Knight with you?
[12:49] Hamusuke
We're training friends, we are.
[12:53] Ains
Come to think of it,
[12:54] Ains
we experimented to see if you
two could obtain Martial Arts...
[13:01] Ains
Well, whatever.
[13:02] Ains
So, is Momon... I mean, Pandora's Actor here?
[13:06] Hamusuke
Your body double?
[13:09] Hamusuke
He should be here, he should.
[13:13] Pandora's Actor
Oh, Supreme One! My dear creator, Lord Ains!
[13:17] Ains
Forget the greetings. Sit.
[13:20] Pandora's Actor
Yes!
[13:25] Momonga
Huh? Right next to me?!
[13:27] Momonga
Shouldn't he sit across from me?
[13:28] Pandora's Actor
Is there something wrong?
[13:30] Momonga
S-So close...
[13:34] Ains
I-It's nothing.
[13:35] Ains
I wanted to ask you about a few things.
[13:38] Ains
First, how are you faring
as Momon's body double?
[13:42] Pandora's Actor
There are no major problems!
[13:43] Ains
I see! Then, have there been any other issues?
[13:47] Pandora's Actor
Actually, Lord Ains...
[13:49] Pandora's Actor
I haven't touched any magic
items for a while now!
[13:54] Pandora's Actor
I haven't done any maintenance on them
[13:56] Pandora's Actor
or even finished organizing
the data crystals!
[13:58] Pandora's Actor
I beseech you, Lord Ains!
[14:00] Pandora's Actor
Give me some time to
interact with magic items!
[14:04] Ains
Did I really make you this way?
[14:07] Pandora's Actor
My emotions were definitely
bestowed upon me by Lord Ains!
[14:11] Ains
Sure, I remember this setting...
[14:14] Pandora's Actor
Please allow me back into the treasury!
[14:19] Ains
I understand.
[14:20] Ains
I'll have Shalltear give
you a teleportation ring.
[14:25] Pandora's Actor
Yes!
[14:25] Ains
Stop that!
[14:28] Ains
I told you before to speak normally...
Wait, maybe I didn't.
[14:33] Ains
Pandora's Actor.
[14:35] Ains
I'm very happy to see you sticking
to your original settings,
[14:40] Ains
but I believe that a child should
eventually surpass their own father...
[14:45] Pandora's Actor
Lord Ains! You see me as your child?
[14:48] Ains
Yes. Yes.
[14:50] Ains
That's why there's no need to speak
German or salute in front of me.
[14:55] Pandora's Actor
I-I see...
[14:57] Ains
I want to see you do things differently
than how I originally created you.
[15:02] Ains
I want to see your growth!
[15:06] Ains
Huh?
[15:06] Pandora's Actor
I understand, Father!
[15:09] Pandora's Actor
I will definitely abide
by my father's wishes!
[15:13] Ains
Yeah.
[15:14] Ains
Huh?
[15:15] Ains
W-Wait, Pandora's Actor.
[15:18] Ains
Don't tell anyone else about this.
[15:20] Ains
There will be unrest if I treat
you differently than the others.
[15:25] Pandora's Actor
Yes!
[15:26] Ains
Fith, you as well.
[15:30] Ains
I will take my leave now.
[15:33] Pandora's Actor
Please wait.
[15:35] Pandora's Actor
There's is something
I wanted to ask you, Father.
[15:39] Pandora's Actor
How do you plan to rule the Sorcerer Kingdom?
[15:43] Pandora's Actor
A lot of people come to visit Momon.
[15:47] Pandora's Actor
Father, they ask what kind
of country you will lead.
[15:52] Pandora's Actor
Will its people become slaves?
[15:54] Pandora's Actor
Will they all be sent to fight wars?
[16:00] Ains
The path of the Sorcerer Kingdom, huh?
[16:13] Ains
The undead are quite productive,
since they require neither sleep nor rest.
[16:20] Ains
However...
[16:23] Ains
Fith, what do you think about this country?
[16:26] Fith
Well, I believe it is an easy country
to live in under your rule.
[16:33] Fith
However, I do not understand why no one
comes to worship your reverent figure
[16:39] ---
when you show yourself in public.
[16:42] Ains
Fith, do you think of humans
as boring creatures?
[16:46] Fith
They are wretched creatures that were not
created by any of the supreme beings.
[16:53] Momonga
Like I thought, most of the NPCs view
human beings as lesser creatures.
[16:59] Momonga
Narberal saw humans as worms when
we first started adventuring, too.
[17:05] Momonga
Hm?
[17:06] Momonga
The adventurer's guild, huh?
[17:10] Ains
Is no one here?
SIGN Y-Your Majesty, the Sorcerer King?!
[17:17] Ains
There are very few quests available.
SIGN M-My apologies.
[17:21] Ains
I am not blaming you.
[17:23] Ains
I was just curious.
[17:25] Ains
There used to be many more quests posted...
[17:27] Ains
At least, that's what I heard
from the adventurer Momon.
SIGN Y-Yes. Since the monster hunting and security quests are no longer available,
SIGN only these requests remain.
[17:39] Ains
The undead security personnel seem
to have maintained the peace.
[17:43] Momonga
Adventuring wasn't as great of a job
as it sounded like, after all.
[17:48] Ains
Is the guild master in?
SIGN Y-Yes! P-Please wait a moment!
[17:55] Ainzach
Your Majesty, the Sorcerer King.
[17:57] Ainzach
Thank you very much for coming all this way.
[18:02] Ains
Now, Ainzach.
[18:06] Ainzach
I'm surprised you know the name
of such a lowly man as myself.
[18:09] Ains
Yes.
[18:11] Momonga
How should I bring it up?
[18:13] Momonga
I feel like an unsolicited marketer.
[18:16] Ainzach
Your Majesty?
[18:20] Ains
I would like to absorb the adventurer's
guild into the Sorcerer Kingdom.
[18:25] Ainzach
I see.
[18:28] Ains
Oh? I heard that the adventurer's guild
maintains independence in every country.
[18:34] Ains
You don't mind?
[18:35] Ainzach
I will follow your wishes.
[18:39] Ains
You plan to send the adventurers
to other kingdoms
[18:44] Ains
or the Empire and hand over an empty guild.
[18:50] Ains
Ainzach...
[18:52] Ains
Why do adventurer guilds never
involve themselves with the kingdom?
[18:57] Ainzach
That is because adventurers
exist to protect the people.
[19:01] Ainzach
That is why we never involve ourselves with
the government and never lend our aid in war.
[19:07] Ains
You protect the people, huh?
[19:09] Ains
Are you only talking about
humans, in your case?
[19:14] Ainzach
What do you mean?
[19:16] Ains
Are elves and half-elves included?
[19:20] Ainzach
Well, yes. They are.
[19:24] Ains
Aren't elves treated as
slaves in the Empire?
[19:26] Ains
Why don't you protect them?
[19:29] Ains
What about other intelligent creatures,
such as the lizard men, orcs, and goblins?
[19:38] Ainzach
Your Majesty, that is an
unreasonable statement!
[19:42] Ains
As an undead, there isn't
much of a difference to me.
[19:48] Ains
Well, sit. My business starts here.
[19:53] Ains
I had always believed that adventurers
were people who explored the unknown.
[20:00] Ains
I want adventurers to discover the
unknown and make our world better.
[20:05] Ainzach
Discover the unknown?
[20:08] Ains
Until now, most of your jobs were
monster hunting or security details,
[20:14] Ains
but there is no need for that
in the Sorcerer Kingdom.
[20:17] Ains
My subordinates are much stronger
than the average adventurer.
[20:22] Ains
However, my subordinates have
difficulty exploring unknown lands
[20:30] Ains
and creating friendly relations.
[20:32] Ains
It's quite embarrassing for me to admit.
[20:34] Ainzach
Your Majesty.
[20:35] Ains
That's why I want adventurers
to take up this role.
[20:41] Ainzach
Why not just post a request
if that's the case?
[20:46] Ains
I see.
[20:48] Ains
However, if I post my request and problems
arise between unknown races or countries,
[20:54] Ains
will the guild resolve
the issues on their own?
[20:58] Ains
I'll have you promise me that there will be
no negative impact on the Sorcerer Kingdom.
[21:03] Ainzach
Well...
[21:04] Ains
That is why I want to take the
adventurer's guild under my wing.
[21:10] Ains
I want my kingdom to give the
adventurer's guild its complete support.
[21:15] Ainzach
I'd like to ask one thing.
[21:17] Ainzach
Do you wish to explore
these lands to invade them?
[21:23] Ains
That is a difficult question to answer.
[21:25] Ains
If the other side is hostile,
the kingdom may need to take action.
[21:30] Ainzach
True.
[21:31] Ains
If I truly wished to invade
the surrounding areas,
[21:35] Ains
I already have enough military power.
[21:42] Ains
I simply dislike the fact that adventurers
are considered mere exterminators.
[21:47] Ains
It's lamentable that you
call yourselves adventurers.
[21:52] Ains
My wish is for your guild members
to become true adventurers!
[22:06] Ainzach
You make a very attractive offer.
[22:12] Ainzach
So, please allow an old adventurer like myself
to support this endeavor, Your Majesty!
[22:24] Ains
Fith.
[22:25] Fith
Yes.
[22:26] Ains
The creations left behind by my comrades
are the things I treasure the most.
[22:32] Fith
Thank you very much!
[22:34] Ains
But I should also bestow some
mercy upon those I rule over.
[22:39] Ains
After all, they are the people
of my Sorcerer Kingdom.
[22:42] Fith
I agree wholeheartedly!
[22:46] Ains
Then, let us create a utopia.
[22:49] Ains
A world as sweet as honey.
[22:54] Ains
A world where the people wish
to forever be under my rule.
[22:58] Fith
What a wonderful thought!
[23:01] Ains
Not only the humans.
[23:04] Ains
I will have all the humanoid and
non-humanoid races bow before me.
[23:10] Ains
Let the world know.
[23:12] Ains
Eternal prosperity can only be found
under the rule of the Sorcerer Kingdom!
[23:18] Momonga
That's right. If I can recreate the guild
of Ains Ooal Gown here in this world...
[23:24] Momonga
I'll be able to show this capital city
proudly to my old comrades,
[23:27] Momonga
who may be out there somewhere.
