[00:05] ---
    A Rubik's Cube? That takes me back.
[00:08] ---
    Getting one side is easy,
    but getting two sides is hard.
[00:13] ---
    That may be true.
[00:15] ---
    They are toys whose advent was spread
    by the Six Great Gods 600 years ago.
[00:21] ---
    So, what has happened
    to bring the officers together?
[00:26] ---
    There was a report submitted.
[00:28] ---
    I didn't read it.
[00:30] ---
    It's easier to just ask someone
    who knows the situation.
[00:34] ---
    Has 7th Seat's "Thousand Leagues
    Astrologer" prediction gone awry?
[00:38] ---
    They went to subjugate
    the Catastrophe Dragon Lord, right?
[00:42] ---
    They engaged an unknown
    vampire-like undead,
[00:46] ---
    and Cedran and Beaumarchais were killed,
[00:48] ---
    while Kaire was severely injured,
    so they withdrew.
[00:51] ---
    8th Seat "Myriad Barriers"
    and 9th Seat "Divine Chain," huh?
[00:57] ---
    So, which one is stronger--that
    vampire or me?
[01:02] ---
    You are.
[01:05] ---
    I see. That's too bad.
    I thought I might experience defeat.
[01:11] ---
    Come to think of it, the Sunlight Scripture
    has been wiped out, right?
[01:15] ---
    Probably.
[01:16] ---
    Word is that they were done in
    by a magic caster named Ains Ooal Gown.
[01:19] ---
    However, not a single body was left behind.
[01:23] ---
    Oh? Is he strong?
[01:25] ---
    Good question. Their captain, Nigun,
    was outdone by the Blue Rose.
[01:29] ---
    That's no measure of strength at all, is it?
[01:32] ---
    Is there no man who can beat me?
[01:35] ---
    No matter how ugly
    or how twisted they might be.
[01:39] ---
    Even being inhuman is no matter.
[01:41] ---
    After all, they'd be a man
    capable of beating me.
[01:45] ---
    How strong would a child born of myself
    and such a man end up being?
[02:00] ---
    It has been a long time, Tsa.
[02:06] ---
    What's wrong? Have you even
    forgotten how to say hello?
[02:10] ---
    Ha-ha, sorry, Rigrit.
[02:12] ---
    I was trembling with emotion
    at seeing my old friend again.
[02:16] ---
    Friend, eh? My friend is that
    empty suit of armor over there.
[02:23] ---
    I have been apologizing for that
    for 200 years, haven't I?
[02:28] ---
    I can no longer travel with you
    in this body, you know.
[02:33] ---
    So, you're still an
    adventurer now, aren't you?
[02:38] ---
    I've retired. I've let that girl
    Inberun take over for me.
[02:43] ---
    That crybaby! She kept carrying on,
[02:46] ---
    so I told her if I beat her,
    she'd have to do as I say.
[02:49] ---
    And I gave it to her good!
[02:52] ---
    You're about the only human
    who could beat her.
[02:55] ---
    Well, I had my friends to help me.
[02:59] ---
    Not to mention, while that girl
    may be strong, there are stronger.
[03:04] ---
    Like you, for example.
[03:06] ---
    If you hadn't constrained yourself,
[03:08] ---
    you'd be the most powerful
    being in the world.
[03:12] ---
    Hmm...
[03:15] ---
    I'm not so sure.
[03:27] ---
    There may be a power in motion
    to corrupt the world once again.
[03:31] ---
    An aftershock of the events of 100 years ago...
[03:33] ---
    Is this one not working alongside the world?
[03:37] ---
    No. I would consider this one evil in nature.
[03:40] ---
    I see.
[03:41] ---
    Rigrit, I hate to do this after
    you've given up being an adventurer,
[03:45] ---
    but may I request a favor of you?
[03:47] ---
    What is it?
[03:49] ---
    I'd like you to gather information
    on items that rival guild weapons.
[03:54] ---
    Either those, or special items from Yggdrasil.
[04:00] ---
    By the way,
[04:01] ---
    what happened to your ring?
[04:03] ---
    I doubt there's anyone
    who could have taken it from you.
[04:07] ---
    I gave it to the youngster.
[04:09] ---
    That's an item that transcends human bounds.
[04:12] ---
    I'd rather it not fall into incapable hands.
[04:15] ---
    Ah, but if you've made the decision,
    that's good enough for me.
[04:24] ---
    This is the year when we fight the Empire off
[04:26] ---
    and then proceed to take the fight to them!
[04:29] ---
    Absolutely. I am growing good and tired
    of doing nothing but waging a war
[04:33] ---
    of fighting off the Empire's invasions.
[04:35] ---
    The time has come for us to show those
    imperial fools how terrible we are.
[04:40] ---
    Without a doubt.
    You are absolutely right, Count.
[04:48] ---
    If our nation's strength declines,
[04:49] ---
    the Baharuth Empire will
    attack us in earnest.
[04:52] ---
    Do they really think that they can succeed
[04:54] ---
    with the kinds of skirmishing
    we're now engaged in?
[04:56] ---
    We need the nobles' help
    to keep the Empire's incursions in check.
[05:01] ---
    We must keep the nation from being divided.
[05:04] ---
    Right.
[05:06] ---
    However, be that as it may,
[05:08] ---
    I feel bad about not having been able
    to defend you better before.
[05:16] ---
    I was not able to arrange for
    and send armaments as I should have.
[05:21] ---
    Please forgive me.
[05:23] ---
    What are you saying, Majesty?
    It is my duty to protect king and country.
[05:29] ---
    I see. Oh...?
[05:33] ---
    Renner!
[05:35] ---
    Father! Head Warrior!
[05:37] ---
    --Princess!
    --Your council meeting is finally over, is it?
[05:40] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[05:42] ---
    I was thinking a little bit,
[05:44] ---
    and have been waiting,
    wishing to speak with you, Father!
[05:48] ---
    You have? You'll have to pardon me for that.
[05:51] ---
    But Father, it is now time for my stroll,
[05:55] ---
    so I will be leaving now with Climb
    to wander around a bit.
[05:57] ---
    Is that right? Well then, off you go.
[06:00] ---
    When you get back,
    come call on me in my room.
[06:03] ---
    Very well. All right, let's be off, Climb.
[06:06] ---
    Please excuse us.
[06:10] ---
    I would like to speak with
    Master Ains Ooal Gown directly
[06:14] ---
    to tell him that I am sincerely grateful
    for saving my most loyal attendant.
[06:20] ---
    As benevolent a gentleman as he is,
    I think those words alone will gratify him.
[06:37] ---
    Master! Sorry to keep you waiting, I am!
[06:40] ---
    This is a gigant basilisk, it is!
[06:42] ---
    Your loyal servant Hamusuke
    is driving it right to you!
[06:46] ---
    It's huge in size, but if it's
    running away from Hamusuke
[06:50] ---
    it means its level is lower than his.
[06:51] ---
    Mr. Momon... there is no need
    for you to lower yourself to this.
[06:55] ---
    I will use my Lightning.
[06:56] ---
    No, don't. With your magic,
    you'll run through Hamusuke, too.
[07:00] ---
    Right.
[07:14] ---
    Hmph, is that the best it can do?
[07:16] ---
    Master! Impressive, that was!
[07:19] ---
    Nicely done, Mr. Momon.
[07:20] ---
    Nabe, I'll let you report back
    to the adventurers guild.
[07:24] ---
    Take Hamusuke with you, as well.
[07:25] ---
    As you wish.
[07:27] ---
    What will you do, Master?
[07:29] ---
    I'm going back to Nazarick.
[07:39] ---
    W-Welcome back.
[07:41] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[07:43] ---
    Um, here you go.
[07:45] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[07:47] ---
    Has Albedo gone out, as well?
[07:50] ---
    No, she's here.
[07:52] ---
    Um, she said she would be
    waiting for you in your room, Lord Ains.
[07:57] ---
    I see. She may have an urgent,
    secret report for me.
[08:01] ---
    I will go there immediately.
[08:09] ---
    Welcome home, Lord Ains!
[09:46] ---
    Would you like to have dinner?
[09:47] ---
    Would you like a bath?
[09:49] ---
    Or, perhaps... would... you... like...
[09:53] ---
    ...to have me?
[09:58] ---
    What is the meaning of this, Albedo?
[10:01] ---
    Newlywed role-playing.
[10:03] ---
    I've heard that there is no better way
    for a new bride to greet her husband
[10:07] ---
    after he has taken his pet with him
    to work alone away from home.
[10:10] ---
    How do you like it?
[10:12] ---
    So that's it. She hasn't gone outside today
    because she wanted to do this.
[10:17] ---
    Who cares about the why?
[10:19] ---
    Ugh, I've never even gone out with a woman,
[10:21] ---
    let alone gotten married,
    so what does she expect me to say?
[10:24] ---
    In this situation, what would a ruler--
    or rather, a ladies' man do?
[10:28] ---
    It was quite appealing, Albedo.
[10:32] ---
    I'm glad to hear it!
[10:38] ---
    What's wrong?!
[10:40] ---
    I messed up!
[10:41] ---
    Ordinarily, etiquette dictates
[10:43] ---
    that a new bride would greet
    her husband for the final showdown
[10:46] ---
    dressed in nothing but an apron.
[10:48] ---
    If you say the word, I
    will correct it at once.
[10:52] ---
    Huh?
[10:52] ---
    Of course, I will change
    right before your eyes, Lord Ains.
[10:56] ---
    --No, if you desire,
    we can start over from the beginning,
[10:56] ---
    --Albedo and the other NPCs that my pals
    created are like children, in a sense.
[10:59] ---
    --and this time I will
    be the perfect new bride.
[10:59] ---
    --Albedo and the other NPCs that my pals
    created are like children, in a sense.
[11:01] ---
    --Yes, I will greet you as the
    chaste new bride waiting for her husband.
[11:01] ---
    --I couldn't do anything uncalled-for
    to those who are so dear to me. Besides,
[11:06] ---
    I think Albedo is like this now
    because I rewrote her settings.
[11:06] ---
    "She is deeply in love with Momonga."
[11:11] ---
    Albedo, it's time we stopped goofing around.
[11:15] ---
    We have to hold a debriefing
    to resolve the data we've gathered.
[11:20] ---
    As you wish, Lord Ains.
[11:26] ---
    This is a world map that
    we finally acquired from E-Rantel.
[11:30] ---
    What, this?
[11:31] ---
    I can understand your discontent.
[11:34] ---
    It's sketchy, and only details
    human nations around this area.
[11:38] ---
    But getting anything more than this
    will prove to be difficult.
[11:41] ---
    Understood. I will make copies and
    distribute them to the other guardians.
[11:46] ---
    Right. Before you do,
    let me briefly explain something.
[11:50] ---
    This is Great the Tomb of Nazarick.
[11:52] ---
    This nearby forest that spreads out so far
    is the Great Forest of Tob.
[11:57] ---
    Is the construction of
    the dummy Nazarick coming along?
[11:59] ---
    Yes, it is proceeding on schedule.
[12:15] ---
    Hmm? Is that...? Just a moment!
[12:21] ---
    Okay, which team are you from?
[12:24] ---
    Lady Aura, I am Team "U," Number Three.
[12:27] ---
    Team "U," which means
    the storage warehouse. Okay, got it.
[12:31] ---
    Is there a problem?
[12:33] ---
    There is an issue with
    the diameter of the wood.
[12:35] ---
    It is time for lunch!
[12:39] ---
    All right, Lady Bukubuku Chagama!
[12:42] ---
    Okay, well, I hate to do this,
    but since it's time to eat,
[12:45] ---
    would you mind coming back in an hour?
[12:47] ---
    Very well.
[12:54] ---
    Pestonya, what is for lunch today?
[12:56] ---
    I have prepared a hamburger,
    just as you asked, Lady Aura.
[13:00] ---
    With two pickles and french fries
    with the skins intact on the side.
[13:04] ---
    There is a cola to drink. Er, woof!
[13:07] ---
    Time to eat! Time to eat!
[13:12] ---
    Thank you for this lunch!
[13:15] ---
    Mm, it's good! But, while this
    Grade A-7 100% ground beef isn't bad,
[13:21] ---
    I prefer ground beef and pork mixed together.
[13:23] ---
    I'd like you to make three patties like that.
[13:26] ---
    All right, I'll relay that
    to the head chef, woof.
[13:29] ---
    Mm-hmm, thanks.
[13:36] ---
    I'd sure like to hear
    Lady Bukubuku Chagama's voice some more.
[13:41] ---
    I see. So Aura has taken
    a liking to that watch?
[13:45] ---
    Quite so. An item that lets her hear
    Lady Bukubuku Chagama's voice,
[13:48] ---
    her being one of the 41 supreme beings
    as well as Aura's own birth mother,
[13:53] ---
    would be a reward
    more welcome than any other.
[13:55] ---
    Of course, the greatest reward
    is to be here serving you, Lord Ains!
[14:00] ---
    M-Mm-hmm... Now, I was right
    in the middle of explaining something.
[14:05] ---
    The area west of the mountain range
    is the Re-Estize Kingdom.
[14:07] ---
    The capital is right here.
[14:09] ---
    Sebas was collecting data. Where is he?
[14:12] ---
    He is making regular reports,
    never missing a single one.
[14:15] ---
    However, there still are no leads
    on who controlled Shalltear's mind.
[14:20] ---
    I see. Continue to remain vigilant.
[14:24] ---
    On the other side of the mountains
    is the Baharuth Empire,
[14:28] ---
    which appears to engage
    the kingdom in war every year.
[14:30] ---
    E-Rantel, which serves as Momon's home base,
[14:33] ---
    becomes a military outpost in times of war.
[14:36] ---
    And to the south, beyond the forest,
    is the Slane Theocracy.
[14:41] ---
    They're the nation
    that attacked Carne Village earlier.
[14:43] ---
    The three countries border
    each other and are in conflict.
[14:47] ---
    Additionally, to the north of the kingdom
    is the Argland Council State,
[14:52] ---
    made up of several races of demi-humans.
[14:53] ---
    It's said that either five or seven dragons
    serve as the nation's councilors.
[14:59] ---
    Dragons, you say?
[15:01] ---
    Southwest of the kingdom
    is a nation known as a holy kingdom,
[15:04] ---
    and in the wilderness next to that,
[15:06] ---
    many different demi-humans
    are engaged in daily disputes.
[15:10] ---
    That's where Demiurge went off to, right?
[15:13] ---
    Yeah. He's conducting experiments
    in parchment production for me.
[15:17] ---
    High-quality parchment is indispensable
    when making scrolls, after all.
[15:22] ---
    That does it for my quick description.
[15:24] ---
    Which of these nations
    do you think we should be wary of?
[15:28] ---
    The Slane Theocracy, I would say.
[15:30] ---
    They were foolish enough
    to challenge you to battle, Lord Ains,
[15:32] ---
    and that blew up in their face.
[15:34] ---
    It is possible that they are
    waiting for a chance to take revenge.
[15:37] ---
    She might be right about that.
[15:41] ---
    Begging your pardon! At present,
    we should be wary of every nation!
[15:45] ---
    Y-You are correct. While there may not
    be a serious threat from the states,
[15:49] ---
    there are individuals
    who might take us by surprise.
[15:53] ---
    How is Shalltear doing?
[15:55] ---
    There doesn't appear to be
    any problem with her physical recovery.
[15:59] ---
    However, on the psychological side,
    I do have some concerns.
[16:10] ---
    I'm a little bit drunk...
[16:12] ---
    As I recall, Lady Shalltear,
    with your total resistance to poisons--
[16:18] ---
    Then again, you did chug it down.
    What can I say?
[16:21] ---
    Why don't you retire for the day
    and get some rest?
[16:23] ---
    No, I don't want to go back.
[16:26] ---
    I see.
[16:28] ---
    Welcome.
[16:29] ---
    Hey, Piki!
[16:32] ---
    What can I get for you?
[16:34] ---
    One of those.
[16:35] ---
    Very good.
[16:38] ---
    My original cocktail, a Nazarick.
[16:42] ---
    You there, miss, this is for you.
[16:47] ---
    I-It tipped over...
[16:52] ---
    Would you mind
    not hitting it with your flipper?
[16:54] ---
    I'm really sorry about that.
[16:57] ---
    Oh, if it isn't Eclair, the assistant butler.
[17:00] ---
    Is something the matter?
    You don't usually look like this.
[17:04] ---
    I just failed badly--
    no, make that spectacularly.
[17:09] ---
    That's why I'm escaping into alcohol.
[17:11] ---
    Just like a godforsaken floor guardian.
[17:13] ---
    --Hmm?
    --I don't know.
[17:15] ---
    Ah, Lord Ains, how could I do such a thing?
[17:20] ---
    The fact that she turned on you
    and went into battle against you
[17:23] ---
    has created an inexcusable
    sense of guilt within her.
[17:26] ---
    Shalltear's mind control was due to
    a world item, and my tactical slipup.
[17:33] ---
    I've told her that she is
    not at fault many times.
[17:36] ---
    Are you telling me that not even
    being resurrected from death
[17:39] ---
    can completely erase
    the effects of a world item?
[17:42] ---
    Lord Ains, please excuse me
    if I'm speaking out of turn...
[17:46] ---
    Go ahead.
[17:47] ---
    Rewards and penalties
    are the way of the world.
[17:50] ---
    Lord Ains, if you give
    Shalltear a punishment,
[17:52] ---
    the sense of guilt within
    her will be relieved.
[17:56] ---
    She's right. I guess a simple
    office worker like me didn't realize that.
[18:02] ---
    All right. I'll consider it.
[18:04] ---
    Please forgive me for overstepping my bounds.
[18:07] ---
    What are you talking about?
    It's suggestions like that one
[18:10] ---
    that befit the Great Tomb
    of Nazarick's guardian supervisor.
[18:15] ---
    Thank you very much.
[18:18] ---
    Now, Cocytus wished to see me, right?
[18:22] ---
    Yes. He is waiting for
    you in the throne room.
[18:29] ---
    Cocytus, is it ready?
[18:33] ---
    Yes.
[18:35] ---
    Everything is in order.
    I will be departing at once.
[18:41] ---
    Mm-hmm. I leave you in charge of everything.
[18:45] ---
    I offer my sincerest gratitude
    as a guardian and a warrior
[18:48] ---
    for the unexpected delight
[18:50] ---
    of being allowed to serve
    in such a capacity as being in charge
[18:53] ---
    of Nazarick's first war.
[18:57] ---
    Cocytus, I am sure that you will
    live up to my expectations.
[19:02] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[19:07] ---
    Be sure not to neglect
    keeping in regular contact with Cocytus.
[19:11] ---
    As you wish.
[19:12] ---
    Now then, I still have a few tasks
    waiting for me as an adventurer.
[19:17] ---
    I will return to E-Rantel now.
[19:19] ---
    Please be careful.
[19:20] ---
    Whoever possesses the world item
    that took control of Shalltear
[19:23] ---
    may launch another attack against us.
[19:26] ---
    Hmph, if they do, I will easily
    turn it back--well, perhaps not easily.
[19:30] ---
    Still, rest at ease, Albedo.
[19:32] ---
    If I run into them, my
    priority is to withdraw,
[19:34] ---
    and until I identify who they are,
[19:36] ---
    I plan on drawing
    as little attention as possible.
[19:39] ---
    There are magical items in this world
[19:41] ---
    that are the same as the ones
    in the game of Yggdrasil.
[19:44] ---
    There's nothing to say that
    whoever attacked Shalltear
[19:46] ---
    isn't another Yggdrasil player, like me.
[19:49] ---
    I should assume the worst-case possibility
[19:52] ---
    and refrain from any actions
    that might antagonize them.
[19:55] ---
    Lord Ains, I, Albedo, will be responsible
[19:59] ---
    for watching over the Great Tomb
    of Nazarick in your absence...
[20:03] ---
    ...as your wife.
[20:25] ---
    This is no place for
    the chief himself to come to.
[20:30] ---
    Zaryusu...
[20:31] ---
    Brother, you wouldn't be...
    snitching food would you?
[20:36] ---
    I just came to see
    how the fish were growing up.
[20:39] ---
    Which means that you don't want to eat them.
[20:43] ---
    They're good.
    Fattier than the ones we catch fishing.
[20:47] ---
    Ho...
[20:48] ---
    When you bite into them, that prime,
    greasy goodness fills your mouth.
[20:51] ---
    When you actually bite them in half,
    it's like they melt in your mouth.
[20:56] ---
    Sister-in-law always said
    your tail was too truthful, Brother.
[21:00] ---
    What? Damn that woman,
    making fun of her husband!
[21:04] ---
    And what's so truthful about it, anyway?
[21:06] ---
    Ugh, if you ever nock that arrow,
    you'll know how I feel.
[21:10] ---
    I can't get married.
[21:12] ---
    Hmph, nonsense. Is it because of that mark?
[21:15] ---
    I once left the tribe
    and went outside as a traveler.
[21:19] ---
    My knowledge may be respected,
[21:21] ---
    but it doesn't change the fact that
    I'll be an outsider the rest of my life.
[21:24] ---
    The elders, huh?
[21:26] ---
    You know, this is truly magnificent--your...
[21:29] ---
    ...fish farm?
[21:31] ---
    Yeah. No one in our tribe
    has ever done anything like this before.
[21:36] ---
    It's all thanks to you, as chief, Brother.
[21:38] ---
    Hmm? What did I do?
[21:41] ---
    I know that you
    spoke to everyone on my behalf.
[21:45] ---
    Once they get a little larger,
    you're the first one I'll bring them to.
[21:48] ---
    Hmph, I'm looking forward to it.
[22:04] ---
    Hide the children! Anyone not a warrior,
    take shelter in your homes!
[22:22] ---
    Hear me! I have been sent
    by the Great One, as a herald!
[22:32] ---
    I declare death unto you!
[22:38] ---
    
[22:40] ---

    "To all who have supported 'Overlord,'
    both domestically and internationally,
    it is because of you that we obtained the chance to produce this second season.
[23:39] ---
    Allow me to offer my deepest gratitude
    along with this second season to all of you."
