Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [00:10] K     It's a war, y'all! [00:13] K     I'm reporting live at the scene. [00:15] K     I appear to be near the battle... no,     more like smack dab in the middle of it! [00:20] K     There are people in every single direction,     as far as the eye can see! [00:23] K     It's a remarkable amount of crowd density! [00:25] K     And the sheer heat being caused by it... [00:27] K     Could those be similar to     the rumored indoor clouds SIGN    SO I'M A CLOUD, SO WHAT? [00:31] K     that appear during the summer and spring     Comiwhatever conventions? [00:34] K     I get the feeling that if I     get in the thick of things, [00:37] K     I'm going to be overcome     with crowd sickness! [00:40] K     Does anybody have any stomach medicine? [00:45] K     You can see the wind generated     by these blasts is so severe, [00:48] K     I'll be taken off my feet     if I'm not careful! [00:53] K     And now it's raining blood—sideways! [00:55] K     The forecast indicates     that these intense winds [00:57] K     and the blood storms     are set to continue for now! [00:59] K     To all our viewers,     I recommend staying indoors [01:01] K     and avoiding the battlefield     as much as you are able to! [01:04] K     This has been my rep— SIGN    Be Forever, Me? [02:38] K     In this corner, the Kingdom of Sariella,      numbering 42,000 strong! [02:41] Magics     Win big, win big, Sariella! [02:45] K     And in this corner, the Ohts Alliance,      numbering 53,000 strong! [02:48] Magics     Get 'em, Ohts! [02:51] K     That's, what, half the number     of troops as Sekigahara? [02:55] K     So instead of the battle that     cracks the land in half, [02:57] K     it's the battle that cracks     a quarter of the land off? [03:01] K     War! What is it good for? Well, it's fun to watch! [03:04] K     Whoa, hold up, wasn't that offsides? [03:10] K     Aw, they even have delicate-looking     little tykes out here! [03:14] K     Oh, why? Why did it come to this? [03:17] K     What could justify it?     What could possibly cause this?! SIGN    Cause SIGN    Cause [03:21] K     Oh, yeah, that's right: Me! [03:24] K     It all happened because I killed     that revolting old porker! [03:29] K     And since he was an envoy from Ohts,     it sure turned into a big deal! [03:32] K     Oops, I accidentally started a war! [03:35] K     But seriously, how is this my fault?! [03:37] K     Starting a war over something like that?      What country just does that?! [03:40] K     Hell, I bet they're just using me as     an excuse to kick this whole mess off! [03:45] K     Please, stop the war! Stop fighting over me! [03:49] K     Or don't, cuz y'know, [03:52] K     I'm still not quite in shape for my     upcoming fight with the Demon Lord! [03:56] K     And if I want to keep the world from being     destroyed, I'm gonna need to level up lots! [04:01] K     Let's touch base with the     Demon Lord situation! [04:04] K     Is the feed coming through? [04:06] K. Magic 2     Yes, I'm coming to you live from     the Great Elroe Labyrinth. [04:09] K. Magic 2     The Demon Lord is currently engaging a     scary-looking Earth Dragon in combat! [04:13] K     I love it! This has gotta be one of     those one-in-a-million opportunities! SIGN     [04:18] K     Since humans have more EXP     than monsters, this is tasty! [04:22] K     War is just too juicy a chance to pass up! [04:24] K     The whole thing is starting     to look like a EXP buffet! [04:28] K     Looks like it's EXP     harvesting season for me! [04:32] K     And since Sariella worships me, on top     of being home to the bloodsucking baby, [04:37] K     I'm entering the fray on Sariella's side! [04:42] K     Damn, man, this is a lot of people! [04:45] K     No good, I think I'm gonna hurl... SIGN     SIGN     SIGN     SIGN     SIGN     SIGN     SIGN     SIGN     [04:47] K     Although... [04:48] K     EXP! [04:49] K     EXP! Experience! Expy! E X P! [04:52] K     And it's all mine! [04:57] K     Huh? [05:06] K     Did I go too hard? [05:10] K     Hey, I leveled up! [05:13] K     Oh, I can feel the attention!     I think I'll make myself scarce. [05:25] K     Is that the Termina—wait, no... [05:29] K     I think... something nasty     just teleported in! [05:36] K     Wait, what?! [05:52] (Flashback) Ariel     You just won't give up, will you? [05:55] (Flashback) Ariel     Even though you're falling apart. [05:58] (Flashback) Ariel     It looks like all that     panting is painful, too. [06:02] (Flashback) Ariel     In that case... [06:03] (Flashback) Ariel     Kumorning Star! [06:09] (Flashback) Ariel     Kumorning? [06:11] (Flashback) Gakia     That is a... uniquely named attack. [06:14] (Flashback) Ariel     Shut up. [06:15] (Flashback) Ariel     I just... got a little     tongue tied, that's all. [06:18] (Flashback) Ariel     More importantly, this is     your chance to retreat. [06:22] (Flashback) Ariel     Why don't you take it? [06:23] (Flashback) Ariel     You can't withstand another attack     from me in your condition. [06:26] (Flashback) Gakia     I will... if you're willing     to agree to what I asked... [06:32] (Flashback) Gakia     Eldest of the Divine Beasts. [06:35] (Flashback) Ariel     About the old making way for the new? [06:38] (Flashback) Ariel     You think I should entrust     it all to the newcomers? [06:41] (Flashback) Ariel     You have to be joking. [06:43] (Flashback) Gakia     Make no mistake, [06:44] (Flashback) Gakia     my kind is counted among the old ones     who must pass from the world. [06:47] (Flashback) Ariel     I take you don't intend     on backing off, then? [06:51] (Flashback) Gakia     Fighting to keep the eldest of     the Divine Beasts at bay... [06:55] (Flashback) Gakia     I can hardly think of a     more glorious end for me. [06:58] (Flashback) Ariel     Enjoy the feeling while it lasts. [07:01] (Flashback) Ariel     Because I intend to devour everything. [07:05] (Flashback) Ariel     With the skills that I stole from Mother! [07:09] (Flashback) Gakia     It seems you are the one     who is being devoured. [07:15] (Flashback) K.Body     Body! SIGN    Body [07:27] (Flashback) Ariel     You done? Because I'm just     about done, on my end. [07:31] (Flashback) Gakia     You're not going to cry out that     unique-sounding attack name again? [07:35] (Flashback) Ariel     Shut up! [07:42] (Flashback) Gakia     Well done. [07:47] (Flashback) Ariel     I should be the one saying that. [07:49] (Flashback) Ariel     It's been a long time since anyone     gave me this much trouble. [07:54] (Flashback) Gakia     It has been... an honor. [08:03] (Flashback) Ariel     And now another of the old ones is gone. [08:07] (Flashback) Ariel     You and I never really interacted that much. [08:11] (Flashback) Ariel     But having killed one of the oldest     of the Earth Dragons myself... [08:16] (Flashback) Ariel     I find myself thinking only one thing: [08:18] (Flashback) Ariel     I better eat this big boy up, pronto! [08:22] (Flashback) Ariel     I've got a real thing about wasting food! [08:28] (Flashback) Ariel     Wait... [08:31] (Flashback) Ariel     Do I have anything like that? [08:35] (Flashback) Ariel     Eh, it's fine! [08:37] (Flashback) Ariel     Wait, it's not! That is not fine. [08:39] (Flashback) Ariel     It feels like my thought process is     drifting away from what it once was. [08:43] (Flashback) Ariel     What is this? It's like something     has gotten mixed in with my soul. [08:48] (Flashback) Ariel     Like it's trying to integrate with it? [08:53] (Flashback) Ariel     And it's like this other presence is reaching     further and further in, becoming a part of me. [09:00] (Flashback) Ariel     Oh, well! [09:03] (Flashback) Ariel     The fact that I keep thinking     that is terrifying me! [09:08] (Flashback) Ariel     But it seems like I have no choice but to     eat the Earth Dragon I see in front of me. [09:13] (Flashback) Ariel     Besides, I am feeling hungry     after that battle. [09:18] (Flashback) Ariel     It's chow time! [09:20] (Flashback) Guile     No, it's not. [09:22] (Flashback) Ariel     Gülie? [09:24] (Flashback) Gulie     So which one are you now? [09:27] (Flashback) Ariel     What is that supposed to mean? [09:30] (Flashback) Gulie     I'm sure you've noticed it yourself. [09:32] (Flashback) Gulie     The anomaly affecting you... [09:34] (Flashback) K.Body     Hey, there! [09:36] (Flashback) Ariel     Which one do I seem like to you, Gülie? [09:39] (Flashback) Gulie     Like both... and like neither. [09:43] (Flashback) Gulie     The two elements have become too intertwined     to say that you are distinctly either. [09:48] (Flashback) Gulie     I'd say your consciousness     itself resembles Ariel more. [09:51] (Flashback) Ariel     Yeah, you think? [09:53] (Flashback) Gulie     But your thoughts seem to follow     the other one's patterns. [09:57] (Flashback) Ariel     You wanna explain to me     what's going on here? [09:59] (Flashback) Gulie     Your mind has been partly     eaten away by her soul. [10:04] (Flashback) Gulie     As a result of your resistance,     your soul and hers have begun to combine. [10:09] (Flashback) Ariel     That explains it. [10:10] (Flashback) Ariel     I have been more free-spirited     and aggressive than usual. [10:14] (Flashback) Ariel     I'm normally a lot more cautious. [10:17] (Flashback) Gulie     Another way to describe it is "fearful." [10:19] (Flashback) Ariel     Shut up. [10:21] (Flashback) Ariel     What the hell is she, anyway? [10:24] (Flashback) Gulie     If you trace the memories of the soul     inside you, you should understand. [10:32] (Flashback) Ariel     A reincarnation, huh? [10:35] (Flashback) Ariel     And what exactly does that mean? [10:37] (Flashback) Gulie     The simplest way to explain them is     to say they are guests to this world, [10:41] (Flashback) Gulie     invited by Administrator D. [10:44] (Flashback) Ariel     Invited, huh? [10:47] (Flashback) Ariel     Administrator D is more     powerful than you, right? [10:51] (Flashback) Gulie     She is a god with immense power. [10:55] (Flashback) Ariel     And this god just so happened to invite new     souls to this world at a time like this. [11:01] (Flashback) Gulie     Indeed, with an intent to alter     this world's disastrous fate. [11:05] (Flashback) Ariel     These must be the winds of change     that Gakia mentioned. [11:10] (Flashback) Gulie     There's no need for you to     do more at this junction. [11:13] (Flashback) Ariel     You're right. [11:14] (Flashback) Ariel     And I don't give a damn about     what Administrator D is after. [11:18] (Flashback) Ariel     I have to admit, her soul being mixed in     with mine is making me want to kill her less. [11:24] (Flashback) Ariel     But I still intend to deliver some     payback for everything she's done. [11:29] (Flashback) Gulie     I see. [11:30] (Flashback) Ariel     Don't try and stop me. [11:32] (Flashback) Gulie     Allow me to deliver you to her, then. [11:35] (Flashback) Ariel     Wow, what's gotten into you? [11:39] (Flashback) Gulie     Consider it recompense for the     trouble my subordinate caused you. [11:57] Ariel     Sorry to interrupt your little party. [12:01] Ariel     But I think you're gonna have to die. SIGN     [12:09] K     Holding this face is really exhausting! [12:11] K     Wait, no! [12:12] K     How did this happen?! [12:14] K     What is my natural predator,      the Demon Lord, doing here?! [12:18] K     It can't get much worse! What do I do?! [12:21] K     I better run! [12:25] K     Ow! What was that?! [12:28] K     I tried to teleport, and then I heard a ping      and bounced off of something?! [12:34] K     Oh, crap! [12:35] K     Did she put up a barrier or something?! [12:54] K     Oh, come on, this is just ludicrous. [12:58] Ariel     I missed on purpose that time. [13:01] K     No, I kinda don't think you did. [13:03] Ariel     I think I'll have a bit of fun with you. [13:05] K     Can I opt out? [13:07] K     Here she comes! [13:12] K     Seriously?! [13:13] K     Then this barrier isn't just     keeping me from teleporting, [13:16] K     it's canceling my magic, too?! No way! [13:19] K     But... in spite of it all... [13:22] K     After absorbing Mother... [13:24] K     My stats are a whole lot better... [13:26] K     So I won't be... blown away... [13:31] K     With one hit... Like that one time! [13:35] K     Not that I can do much but defend, though! [13:45] K     Holy crap, that is a lot     of collateral damage. [13:48] K     She's like a tiny killer typhoon! [13:58] K     Looks like... basic magic... still works! [14:02] K     Okay, I'll fight back with Light Magic,     since she's got low resistance to it! [14:09] K     Got her! I really have     gotten stronger after all! [14:14] K     So fast?! She regenerates so fast! [14:19] K     Time to get desperate! [14:28] K     Okay, that's really intimidating! [14:32] K     Stay back! [14:36] K     Okay, now's my chance— [14:38] K     Or not?! I didn't get any     time to think at all! [14:41] K     And she hasn't even blinked! [14:43] K     But she is chewing!     Is she eating something?! [14:49] K     And after swallowing it she got her SP back! [14:52] K     This has to be that one OP skill! SIGN     SIGN    Skills Gained: "Fortune LV1" "Sublimation"      Requirement: Obtain "Gluttony"      Effects: HP, MP, and SP are all increased.     Positive correction to proficiency for all strengthening skills.     Obtain access to ruling class privileges.      Explanation: The title bestowed upon one who has conquered Gluttony. [14:57] K     Basically, the Demon Lord can eat anything! [15:01] K     Even dirt and stuff! [15:03] K     Well, someone's got a     cast-iron stomach, huh?! [15:06] K     And if that can heal you,     I'm basically screwed! [15:12] K     I got blown back like this     was a battle manga! [15:17] K     Oh, ew, I can feel their bodies     being pulped as I smash into them! SIGN    Experience [15:24] K     Thanks for the EXP, though! Heal! [15:27] K     And molt! [15:28] K     Excuse me, Demon Lord?! Are you sure     you're in the right genre right now?! [15:33] K     This feels like I'm battling the protagonist     of a classic shonen manga in real life! SIGN    Experience [15:40] K     Gimme that EXP! [15:41] K     And molt! [15:44] K     I'm managing to survive by leveling up     and healing off of those dead troops. [15:48] K     Forgive me, you nameless soldiers!      And thank you! [15:52] K     Also, all of this molting is     really starting to tingle! [16:03] K     This is bad! Is this the end?! [16:05] Julius     You monsters! Face me! [16:10] K     What the? [16:12] K     What're you doing, junior? [16:16] K     Wait, huh? What's going on? [16:18] K     Why did the Demon Lord freeze? [16:21] K     Is the Demon Lord... [16:23] K     A shotacon? [16:24] K     Aw, me, too?! [16:26] K     I mean, I guess I am a monster. [16:31] K     Can someone please explain?     What is all this?

[16:46] K     But he's still kinda weak. [16:49] K     Granted, he's done an okay job for a kid, [16:50] K     and he's in better shape than     most of these soldiers. [16:53] K     And yet the Demon Lord seems     to be on guard because of him? [16:57] K     But why? He's just a kid.     You should be able to waste him easy. [17:03] K     What is this weird stalemate? [17:06] K     Come to think of it, isn't the natural     stalemate snake vs. frog vs. slug? [17:10] K     Nobody here matches any of those.

[20:56] Katia     The Demon Lord and Hero skills [20:58] Katia     can be gained either through proficiency     or a large amount of skill points. [21:02] Katia     I have a hard time believing that Hugo, [21:04] Katia     who is claiming to be the Hero, would      intentionally select the Demon Lord skill. [21:08] Fei     Then that means he got     it through proficiency? [21:10] Katia     I don't know exactly how he managed     to gain that proficiency. [21:13] Katia     But the fact is, he did. [21:21] Katia     He used Battle Divinity and Magic Divinity     to enhance his stats across the board! [21:26] Shun     Are you really too far gone? [21:32] Shun     Come on! [21:33] Hugo     Bring it! [23:19] Gulie     The world's fate has accelerated with     the arrival of the reincarnations. [23:23] Gulie     The long-standing battle     between the two of them... [23:27] Gulie     Which one will reign victorious, in the end? [23:30] Gulie     Or perhaps... SIGN    Next time on     So I'm a Spider, So What? SIGN    My Old Friend, Why......? SIGN    See you next time!
