[00:02] Momonga; Internal
    Huh? What the hell?
[00:05] Momonga; Internal
    Why did a powered suit from
    Yggdrasil suddenly appear?
[00:08] Momonga; Internal
    Could it be a player?
[00:13] Shalltear
    The Death Knight and Death Warrior
    were destroyed so easily...
[00:17] Ains
    Mm. Just as expected.
[00:25] Cocytus
    I see. So that's why...
[00:29] Momonga; Internal
    Huh? Cocytus?!
[00:30] Shalltear
    Yes! Yes! Yes! I understand now, too!
[00:33] Shalltear
    Lord Ains was expecting the
    one in red armor to appear!
[00:39] Shalltear
    He chose to send fewer soldiers in order
    to lure the enemy out into the open!
[00:45] Demiurge
    Excellent deduction from the
    two of you, as expected!
[00:49] Ains
    Y-Yeah.
[00:51] Aura
    Hey, who is that guy?
[00:53] Albedo
    He's from Drop of Red, one of the
    three adamantite teams in the Kingdom.
[00:59] Albedo
    It's reported that his team normally works
    in the northern region of the Kingdom.
[01:03] Mare
    S-So that's why Lord Ains set
    a trap in this northern city!
[01:07] Cocytus
    So, he's a fish that took the bait...
[01:12] Ains
    Exactly.
[01:16] Demiurge
    Now that you've achieved your original goal,
[01:20] Demiurge
    we should send stronger forces to
    that town and raze it to the ground.
[01:24] Ains
    Yes, that sounds good...
[01:28] Ains
    N-No, I was thinking of
    changing the plans a bit
[01:32] Ains
    and bringing the royal capital
    to ruin immediately.
[01:37] Demiurge
    If that is what you wish, we will simply obey.
[01:42] Ains
    Yes.
[01:43] Momonga; Internal
    This way, I'll be able to give the people
    in that town a chance to escape.
[01:49] Ains
    Good! We will cease hiding our movements
     and advance on the royal capital!
[01:54] Ains
    We will annihilate every city
    within our reach along the way.
[01:57] Ains
    Teach them the foolishness
    of resisting Nazarick!
[02:01] Everyone
    Yes!
[03:38] Knight
    Your Highness,
    Princess Renner is here to see you.
[03:41] Zanac
    I'll speak with her during dinner.
[03:43] Knight
    She said that if she can't
    speak with you immediately,
[03:47] Knight
    she'll begin yelling lies mixed with truth...
[03:50] Zanac
    I understand. Let her in.
[03:53] Zanac
    But have the other two
    with her stand outside.
[03:57] Knight
    I understand.
[04:00] Zanac
    What is it?
[04:01] Renner
    Is Father still alive?
[04:04] Zanac
    Hey, now. Do you think I'd kill him?
[04:09] Zanac
    At a time like this?
[04:12] Zanac
    Father is not well right now.
[04:14] Zanac
    I'm having him rest.
[04:16] Renner
    Brother is able to detain Father even
    without Marquis Raeven's soldiers...
[04:21] Renner
    That means that the head of the military
[04:23] Renner
    and the head of internal
    affairs have taken your side.
[04:27] Zanac
    Father planned to negotiate until the end,
[04:30] Zanac
    in order to minimize our losses.
[04:34] Zanac
    I understand his feelings, but...
[04:37] Zanac
    There had been no word of
[04:38] Zanac
    the Sorcerer Kingdom invading
    since the declaration of war.
[04:42] Zanac
    But, in reality, his army has been
    heading north this whole time.
[04:47] Renner
    He took over the northern border
    near the Council State
[04:50] Renner
    in order to prevent them
    from sending support troops.
[04:53] Zanac
    That's right.
[04:55] Zanac
    The invaded cities were completely destroyed
    and all the people were massacred.
[05:01] Zanac
    My sister...
[05:02] Zanac
    Please enlighten me with your brilliant mind.
[05:06] Zanac
    How have the Sorcerer Kingdom's
    forces gone unnoticed until now?
[05:10] Renner
    You've realized it yourself, haven't you?
[05:15] Zanac
    It's the work of the people
    in our own kingdom.
[05:18] Zanac
    But the only person who can keep
    this a secret so thoroughly...
[05:22] Renner
    ...is Marquis Raeven.
[05:25] Zanac
    No way! Impossible.
[05:27] Renner
    This is Marquis Raeven's domain.
[05:30] Renner
    That man loves his son quite dearly.
[05:34] Renner
    Wouldn't he do it if his
    son were taken hostage?
[05:37] Zanac
    You think they're threatening him that way?
[05:41] Renner
    I believe that he's decided that
    the royal family has no future.
[05:47] Zanac
    What action would you take
    in a situation like this?
[05:52] Renner
    If things continue according
    to the movements on this map,
[05:56] Renner
    there will be a decisive battle
    at the royal capital next.
[05:59] Zanac
    Yes.
[06:00] Renner
    Do you think we can win?
[06:03] Zanac
    It's not a matter of winning or losing.
    We have to do it.
[06:07] Zanac
    The Sorcerer Kingdom is burning down all the
    cities and murdering all who live in them.
[06:12] Zanac
    We can only survive by
    gathering all the soldiers
[06:14] Zanac
    and risking everything on
    the slim chance of victory.
[06:17] Zanac
    I'll ask the people, as well.
[06:19] Zanac
    We'll advertise the cruelty of the
    Sorcerer Kingdom and call them to arms.
[06:24] Renner
    Brother, you've truly become a king.
[06:29] Renner
    Your way of thinking is correct.
[06:32] Zanac
    I'm completely useless in battle,
[06:35] Zanac
    but a member of the royal family should
    stand on the front lines to lead the troops.
[06:39] Zanac
    Father should take care of the rest.
[06:43] Zanac
    You can escape at any time.
[06:46] Renner
    I understand.
    I'll do so when the time comes.
[06:52] Man 1
    What're you gonna do?
[06:54] Man 2
    I'm joining!
    Just you wait, Sorcerer King!
[06:57] Lakyus
    Hey, everyone...
[06:58] Lakyus
    Only one person needs to go to
    see the contents of the request.
[07:02] Lakyus
    Why don't you guys go and get a drink?
[07:03] Evileye
    Lakyus, is there a reason
    we can't go with you?
[07:08] Lakyus
    O-O-Of course not!
[07:11] Gagaran
    The Drop of Red are coming for
    this request, aren't they?
[07:14] Gagaran
    Isn't their leader, Mr. Azuth, your relative?
[07:17] Gagaran
    You guys probably have a lot to
    catch up on, right? I get you.
[07:21] Lakyus
    So, you understand?! Then...
[07:22] Tina
    That's the mystery.
[07:23] Tia
    So strange.
[07:24] Lakyus
    Huh?
[07:25] Tina
    What kind of request requires both
    the Drop of Red and Blue Rose?
[07:30] Tia
    It's suspicious.
[07:31] Gagaran
    Maybe it's a trap.
[07:34] Evileye
    Yes. We shouldn't act separately.
[07:37] Tina
    And we want to meet such a famous hero.
[07:40] Tia
    He's a relative, so it wouldn't
    hurt to meet him at least once.
[07:46] Lakyus
    This is the meeting place.
[07:48] Tina
    Too suspicious.
[07:50] Tia
    Someone is definitely planning something.
[07:55] Azuth
    Come on in.
[08:00] Lakyus
    Um, everyone...
[08:02] Lakyus
    Let me be honest.
[08:04] Lakyus
    My uncle's the type of person
    that makes most people grimace.
[08:12] Azuth
    Hey, Lakyu! Long time no see!
[08:16] Lakyus
    Uncle... Can't you dress a little
    more appropriately for this meeting?
[08:21] Azuth
    Well, now. At least we're not
    having a meeting in bed.
[08:25] Azuth
    Does it really matter?
[08:26] Lakyus
    It matters!
[08:27] Azuth
    Is that so?
[08:29] Girls
    Aw, stop!
[08:32] Evileye
    And I heard he was a hero...
[08:35] Evileye
    Leave, women.
[08:36] Woman 1
    Who's this kid?
[08:38] Woman 2
    A brat who doesn't even show her face
    shouldn't act so high and mighty!
[08:42] Evileye
    Charm Person.
[08:45] Evileye
    You're in the way. Leave.
[08:47] Woman 1
    Oh, yes.
[08:50] Evileye
    Charm Person.
[08:52] Evileye
    Go.
[08:53] Woman 2
    I understand.
[09:01] Tina
    Evileye.
[09:02] Tia
    Good job!
[09:03] Tia
    Boss.
[09:10] Fifth Seat
    You're on time.
[09:26] Azuth
    Hey, hey, hey...
[09:27] Azuth
    You're the last ones here and you're
    giving off such dangerous vibes.
[09:31] Eleventh Seat
    You're pretty cocky for
    bringing whores, old man.
[09:34] Azuth
    Hah. You're the ones who held
    a meeting in a place like this.
[09:38] Azuth
    I just wanted to harass you guys a bit.
[09:41] Fifth Seat
    Now, now.
[09:42] Fifth Seat
    I would appreciate it if
    everyone settled down.
[09:45] Eleventh Seat
    Well, Qua's the leader this time,
    so I guess I'll listen...
[09:50] Fifth Seat
    Let me get straight to the point.
[09:52] Fifth Seat
    Lord Azuth Aindra and the other
    absent members from the Drop of Red...
[09:58] Fifth Seat
    As well as all the members from Blue Rose...
[10:00] Fifth Seat
    We are here to scout you today.
[10:05] Azuth
    Which country are you guys from?
[10:08] Eleventh Seat
    Who cares?
[10:10] Tina
    What?
[10:11] Tia
    No way!
[10:11] Fifth Seat
    Please be at ease.
[10:13] Fifth Seat
    If we really planned to kill all of you,
[10:16] Fifth Seat
    we wouldn't be wasting
    time introducing ourselves.
[10:22] Azuth
    Are you people from the Theocracy?
[10:25] Evileye
    The Theocracy?!
[10:26] Azuth
    The Theocracy's elite heroic unit.
[10:29] Azuth
    The Black Scripture, was it?
[10:32] Azuth
    I heard one of you deviated
    from the heroic path, though.
[10:38] Tenth Seat
    It seems like you know a lot.
[10:40] Tenth Seat
    But there are people here who are as
    strong as me, maybe even stronger.
[10:49] Tenth Seat
    Evileye of the Blue Rose.
    You'd be a bit troublesome.
[10:53] Evileye
    Hmph.
[10:54] Azuth
    Hey.
[10:56] Azuth
    Theocracy's secret unit.
[10:59] Azuth
    Want to work with us to fight
    against the Sorcerer King?
[11:02] Fifth Seat
    I see.
[11:03] Fifth Seat
    I understand your thoughts, Lord Azuth.
[11:06] Fifth Seat
    And what's the answer from the Blue Rose?
[11:11] Fifth Seat
    We won't force you by any means.
[11:13] Fifth Seat
    We want you to truly become our allies
    and help secure the future of mankind.
[11:22] Lakyus
    I refuse. How about...
[11:24] Gagaran
    Don't just speak for yourself.
[11:27] Gagaran
    We all agree with Leader's decision.
[11:30] Tia/Tina/Evileye
    Yeah.
[11:31] Fifth Seat
    I see.
[11:32] Fifth Seat
    Looks like it'd be pointless
     to try to convince you.
[11:35] Fifth Seat
    We hope everyone is able to bring
    retribution upon the Sorcerer King.
[11:42] Lakyus
    So...
[11:43] Lakyus
    What are you going to do, Uncle?
[11:45] Azuth
    I'll wait here for the arrival
    of the Sorcerer King.
[11:49] Azuth
    He'll definitely make his way here.
[11:51] Azuth
    You guys won't even be able to
    get your swords close to him.
[11:54] Azuth
    Run.
[11:56] Lakyus
    Even so, we can't leave the
    royal capital behind.
[12:01] Azuth
    If you're asking me to join you, I refuse.
[12:04] Azuth
    I'll be moving on my own.
[12:06] Evileye
    Do you think you'll be able to do anything?
[12:09] Azuth
    There's no way I can defeat him.
[12:12] Azuth
    But if I'm alone,
[12:15] Azuth
    I should be able to escape, even if the
    Sorcerer King surrounds the entire capital.
[12:19] Azuth
    Welp, I'm going to unload
    a bit in the other room.
[12:25] Azuth
    Sorry for the wait, kittens.
[12:25] Women
    Jeez! You took forever!
[12:32] Military Representative
    Your Highness.
[12:33] Zanac
    I know.
[12:43] Albedo
    Lord Ains, a representative is
    approaching from the human army.
[12:53] Zanac
    I am the crown prince of the Re-Estize Kingdom,
    Zanac Valleon Igana Ryle Vaiself!
[12:58] Zanac
    I would like to speak with the Sorcerer King!
[13:03] Albedo
    What do you wish to do, Lord Ains?
[13:05] Albedo
    I feel there's no need to listen, unless it's
    a messenger announcing the start of battle...
[13:08] Cocytus
    If he refuses to converse with an opponent,
    others may think him close-minded.
[13:14] Albedo
    Who cares about a rumor when
    no one is left to spread it?
[13:17] Ains
    Albedo. Have you forgotten?
[13:19] Ains
    There may be someone watching from
    afar who can speak ill of us.
[13:22] Albedo
    My apologies.
[13:24] Ains
    Yes. Then, I will go.
[13:27] Cocytus
    Lord Ains, bring guards with you.
[13:29] Ains
    A royal came to me alone.
[13:31] Ains
    It is only right that I return the favor.
[13:43] Zanac
    I am glad to meet you, Sorcerer King.
[13:46] Zanac
    I am Zanac Valleon Igana Ryle Vaiself.
[13:50] Ains
    I am glad to meet you, as well.
[13:53] Ains
    I am the Sorcerer King, Ains Ooal Gown.
[13:56] Ains
    Will water suffice?
[13:58] Zanac
    Yes. Thank you very much, Your Majesty.
[14:01] Zanac
    I appreciate your hospitality.
[14:03] Ains
    Now, the preparations for
    our talk are complete.
[14:10] Ains
    What did you wish to speak about?
[14:13] Ains
    Shall I discuss why
    our invasion is just?
[14:16] Zanac
    Your Majesty,
    there's something I'd like to ask.
[14:20] Zanac
    Why are you doing something this cruel?
[14:23] Zanac
    Why won't you accept our plea of surrender?
[14:30] Ains
    Because there is no merit to it.
[14:32] Zanac
    Merit?
[14:34] Ains
    We will sacrifice your kingdom
    to show the world that
[14:37] Ains
    it is foolish to oppose
    the Sorcerer Kingdom.
[14:42] Ains
    To that end, we will enter your royal
    capital after decimating your forces
[14:47] Ains
    and turn everything into
    a mountain of rubble.
[14:50] Ains
    We'll leave everything like that for
    hundreds or even thousands of years...
[14:54] Ains
    In this way, stories about the folly
    of going against the Sorcerer Kingdom
[14:56] Ains
    will be passed down for all eternity.
[15:00] Zanac
    Why have you chosen to do so?
[15:02] Ains
    What?
[15:03] Zanac
    There are other ways
[15:05] Zanac
    to have Your Majesty's prestige
    known throughout the world.
[15:12] Zanac
    Why are your actions so close-minded?
[15:17] Ains
    Close-minded, huh?
[15:19] Zanac
    What is your goal?
[15:22] Ains
    My goal?
[15:31] Momonga; Internal
    My comrades from Yggdrasil may
    exist somewhere in this world.
[15:36] Momonga; Internal
    That's what I had hoped...
[15:39] Ains
    My goal...
[15:42] Ains
    It seems simple and complicated
    at the same time.
[15:45] Ains
    My goal...
[15:47] Ains
    There's only one thing I'm searching for...
[15:51] Ains
    Happiness.
[15:53] Zanac
    Happiness?
[15:54] Ains
    In the end, isn't the ultimate
    goal of all creatures happiness?
[16:01] Zanac
    So, you're saying it's fine to take away the
    happiness of others for the sake of your own?
[16:04] Ains
    Isn't that obvious?
[16:07] Ains
    If I can bring happiness
    to the ones I treasure,
[16:10] ---
    I don't care about what
    happens to anyone else.
[16:14] Ains
    If your people could only achieve happiness
[16:17] ---
    by making the people of another
    country suffer, what would you do?
[16:21] Ains
    Would you tell your people
    to give up on that happiness?
[16:25] Zanac
    That logic is too extreme!
[16:28] Zanac
    Excuse me, Your Majesty.
[16:30] Ains
    No, I don't mind.
[16:33] Zanac
    Are you telling me that
[16:34] Zanac
    someone of Your Majesty's intelligence and
    power had no other way to move forward?
[16:42] Ains
    There may be other ways.
[16:44] Ains
    However, it's better to grab a hold of
    the chance to obtain such happiness
[16:49] Ains
    if the opportunity to do
    so is easily available.
[16:51] Ains
    They say, "The goddess of
    fortune is bald behind."
[16:55] Zanac
    What a strange goddess.
[16:57] Zanac
    Oh, pardon me.
[16:58] Zanac
    I'm not belittling the gods
    you believe in or anything.
[17:03] Zanac
    Please forgive me.
[17:04] Ains
    I don't mind.
[17:06] Ains
    I don't particularly believe in them.
[17:09] Ains
    So, that's how it is.
[17:11] Ains
    I will have you suffer for the happiness
    of the people I must protect.
[17:16] Ains
    Does my answer satisfy you?
[17:19] Zanac
    Well, they say it is the
    duty of those at the top
[17:22] Zanac
    to pursue benefits for their country
    and bring happiness to their people.
[17:29] Zanac
    I understand your reason for
    refusing our surrender.
[17:32] Zanac
    It seems there is nothing else I can do.
[17:34] Ains
    Now, I guess it's my turn to question you.
[17:40] Ains
    That's right.
[17:41] Ains
    Who currently holds the sword
    that Gazef Stronoff wielded?
[17:45] Ains
    The armor you're wearing was
    also previously worn by him.
[17:48] Zanac
    Yes.
[17:49] Zanac
    A man named Brain Unglaus is currently
    in possession of that sword.
[17:54] Ains
    Brain Unglaus...
[17:57] Ains
    Oh, is that man currently here?
[18:00] Zanac
    No, he should be in the royal palace.
[18:03] Ains
    I see.
[18:04] Ains
    Then, it seems it doesn't matter what
    spells I use to decimate your forces.
[18:09] Zanac
    We don't plan to lose,
[18:12] Zanac
    but I hope you use magic that will
    kill us without much suffering.
[18:17] Ains
    Well...
[18:19] Ains
    We've now become acquainted with one another.
[18:21] Ains
    I'll make sure to kill
    you as gently as I can.
[18:26] Zanac
    I appreciate that.
[18:31] Zanac
    The drink was delicious, Your Majesty.
[18:35] Zanac
    May I ask you one last thing?
[18:40] Zanac
    Did you or perhaps one of your
    subordinates kill my elder brother?
[18:45] Ains
    Your brother?
[18:47] Ains
    The deed was probably done by one of mine.
[18:50] Zanac
    I see. So he's dead, after all.
[18:54] Zanac
    Thank you for letting me know, Your Majesty.
[18:58] Zanac
    I'll take my leave.
[19:02] Ains
    A dauntless man.
[19:05] Ains
    That must be what true royalty is like.
[19:14] (Flashback) Ains; Flashback
    My goal...
[19:17] (Flashback) Ains; Flashback
    There's only one thing I'm searching for...
[19:20] (Flashback) Ains; Flashback
    Happiness.
[19:22] Zanac
    Perhaps I was never fit to be a king.
[19:28] Zanac
    I just wanted to make this
    kingdom into a respectable one.
[19:37] Nobles
    Your Highness!
[19:38] Noble A
    You're safe!
[19:39] Noble B
    What did the Sorcerer King say?!
[19:41] Zanac
    The Sorcerer King plans to
    massacre everyone in the kingdom.
[19:45] Zanac
    There was no opportunity for negotiation.
[19:48] Military Representative
    Welcome back.
[19:50] Military Representative
    It sounds like the talk didn't go well.
[19:52] Zanac
    In other words, the talk went as expected.
[19:56] Military Representative
    I see.
[19:57] Military Representative
    So, what kind of evil monster
    was the Sorcerer King?
[20:00] Zanac
    He was surprisingly human.
[20:03] Military Representative
    What?
[20:03] Zanac
    Well, he was definitely
    a monster on the outside.
[20:06] Zanac
    But, well, he was the same as
    any other human on the inside.
[20:11] Zanac
    So what is the plan of attack?
[20:15] Military Representative
    There's no plan.
[20:17] Military Representative
    We lost many of our commanders
    and knights in the last battle.
[20:22] Military Representative
    Truthfully speaking,
[20:23] Military Representative
    I didn't like Stronoff, so I never thought
    I would miss him at a time like this...
[20:29] Soldiers
    You people are...
[20:35] Noble A
    King Zanac!
[20:37] Military Representative
    Stand down! This is His Highness's tent!
[20:39] Zanac; Internal
    A rebellion at this point and time?
[20:42] Zanac; Internal
    No, this is just the result of
    their desperate attempt to live...
[20:47] Military Representative
    You lowly people! Stand down!
[20:48] Zanac
    Stop, Representative.
[20:51] Zanac
    For what reason did you enter my tent?
[20:54] Noble A
    Your Highness, please surrender.
[20:57] Zanac
    It's impossible.
[20:59] Zanac
    We can only survive if we
    defeat the Sorcerer King.
[21:03] Noble B
    We can't win!
[21:05] Noble C
    He has an army of undead!
[21:07] Noble A
    That may be the case for you, Your Highness.
[21:10] Noble A
    But we'll exchange your life for our own!
[21:15] Noble C
    We will go and pledge our
    allegiance to the Sorcerer King!
[21:18] Noble A
    Your Highness, please obey us quietly.
[21:24] Zanac
    As a member of the royal family,
    I have the resolve to fight to the end.
[21:31] Zanac
    Come, if you don't fear losing your life!
[21:37] Zanac
    What's wrong?!
[21:38] Zanac
    Come and take this neck if you can!
[21:46] Albedo
    Lord Ains.
[21:48] Ains
    What is it, Albedo?
[21:49] Albedo
    Some nobles from the Kingdom
    wish to see the Sorcerer King.
[21:55] Ains
    Bring them here.
[21:57] Noble A
    We are in awe of Your Majesty and
    wish to bow down at your feet.
[22:04] Noble A
    Please accept this, Your Majesty.
[22:19] Ains
    Bury him with respect.
[22:23] Ains
    So, what happened to the
    armor this man was wearing?
[22:28] Albedo
    What's wrong?
    You can't answer Lord Ains' question?
[22:32] Noble A
    N-No! Well, about that...
[22:35] Noble A
    I believe it's with the
    prince's corpse in his tent.
[22:39] Ains
    I see. I understand.
[22:42] Ains
    You all did well.
[22:44] Ains
    I shall give you a reward
    comparable to your efforts.
[22:47] Ains
    What do you want?
[22:48] Noble A
    Please spare me and my family!
[22:50] Noble A
    Sorcerer King!
    I pledge my complete allegiance to you!
[22:53] Noble B
    I do, as well, Your Majesty!
[22:54] Noble C
    Please show mercy on us!
[22:55] Noble D
    Me, as well!
[22:55] Ains
    I understand. I understand.
[22:57] Ains
    Then, I will spare you and your families.
[23:00] Nobles
    Thank you very much!
[23:02] Ains
    Albedo, send them to Neuronist.
[23:07] Albedo
    Understood.
[23:09] Noble A
    Thank you!
[23:11] Noble B
    Long live His Majesty, the Sorcerer King!
[23:13] Ains
    Aura.
[23:14] Aura
    Yes, Lord Ains.
[23:15] Ains
    Make sure to tell Neuronist not to
    kill them unless they beg for death.
[23:21] Aura
    I understand, Lord Ains!
[23:26] Ains
    Even if they beg for death,
    don't kill them too quickly.
[23:30] Aura
    Yes!
[23:33] Ains
    I've lost interest.
[23:36] Ains
    Cocytus will be the commander
    and Mare the vice-commander.
[23:39] Cocytus
    Yes.
[23:39] Mare
    Yes!
[23:40] Ains
    I allow the two of you to
    freely use your strength...
[23:45] Ains
    So don't let a single one of them survive.
