**[00:13] Setsu**
Wow, what an amazing fight!
**[00:16] Setsu**
A kaiju showdown! Freakin' awesome!
**[00:18] Setsu**
Go! Levia!
**[00:21] Levia**
Setsu! Stop spectating and help!

***SIGN*** Frying a Squid for a Second Time
**[02:04] Setsu**
So, to reintroduce you...
**[02:06] Setsu**
This is Levia, the god of the
ocean and a friend of mine.
**[02:11] Levia**
You're most fortunate to even
have the opportunity to see me.
**[02:15] Levia**
You may thank me.
**[02:17] Ruri**
Y-You're really the legendary
god of the ocean?
**[02:21] Ruri**
Wow, amazing...
**[02:27] Levia**
Hey, Setsu! Why didn't you help me?!
**[02:30] Levia**
Look at all this!
**[02:32] Setsu**
Well, I assumed you'd be all right on your own.
**[02:36] Setsu**
And I don't get many chances to see an awesome kaiju battle like that.
**[02:39] Levia**
You call me up suddenly after five years,
**[02:41] Levia**
make me ferry you over to the
demonic continent, and then that?!
**[02:44] Levia**
That's pretty terrible!
**[02:48] Ruri**
But, um...
**[02:51] Ruri**
What are we going to do with this?
**[02:54] Ruri**
We can't just leave it here...
**[02:59] Levia**
We can just let Setsu deal with it.
**[03:01] Setsu**
Huh?! Me?
***SIGN*** Squid Ring
**[03:15] Ruri**
Wh-What is this?! It's delicious!
**[03:19] Levia**
I haven't had Setsu's deep-fried squid
in a while, but it's not bad.
**[03:23] Levia**
I prefer raw, though.
**[03:27] Setsu**
Anyway, we've arrived at the demonic
continent safely, for now.
**[03:31] Levia**
Yeah.
**[03:32] Levia**
The demonic fishing village
of Volsee is close.
**[03:36] Levia**
And on the other side of that mountain
is Evilbarrow, the Demon Lord's castle.
**[03:41] Ruri**
The Demon Lord's castle?
**[03:44] Setsu**
Yeah. That's where your package
is supposed to go, right?
**[03:47] Setsu**
I have business with its recipient, as well.
**[03:50] Levia**
A package, from a human to Dezas?
**[03:53] Levia**
Oh, yeah, she mentioned sending
the brooch out for repairs.
**[03:56] Ruri**
Huh? Levia-sama, do you know this
Dezastol Serreno person, as well?
**[04:03] Levia**
Wait, does she not know who Dezas is?
**[04:07] Setsu**
Seems not.
**[04:10] Levia**
The destination of your package is
the Demon Lord's castle, Evilbarrow,
**[04:14] Levia**
and the recipient is Demon Lord Dezastol.
**[04:17] Ruri**
Wha—
**[04:19] Ruri**
What?!
**[04:21] Ruri**
D-Dezastol is the Demon Lord?!
**[04:29] Levia**
Anyway, it's all on foot from here,
**[04:32] Levia**
so my job is done. Nice working with you.
**[04:36] Setsu**
Aren't you coming with me?
**[04:38] Levia**
Why would I?
**[04:39] Setsu**
What do you mean, why?
**[04:41] Setsu**
It's been a while, and you know Dezas, so...
**[04:49] Levia**
I kept my promise and
maintained peace on the seas.
**[04:53] Levia**
Then, five years later, you finally return,
only to treat me like a boat!
**[04:57] Levia**
You're even hanging out with another woman,
**[05:00] Levia**
and that's what you say to me?
**[05:01] Setsu**
Well, that's... I mean...
**[05:04] Setsu**
A lot happened. I couldn't help it.
**[05:11] Child A**
Is this a lovers' quarrel?
**[05:13] Child B**
No matter what, the man has to
apologize. Don't you know that?
**[05:17] Child C**
It seems like this guy doesn't
understand girls' feelings at all.
**[05:21] Child A**
Say you're sorry.
**[05:27] Setsu**
Here, have some squid rings and go away!
**[05:31] Child A**
What is this?
**[05:32] Children ABC**
Yummy!
**[05:33] Child C**
Squid rings are awesome!
**[05:34] Child A**
How is it so crunchy and fluffy?!
**[05:36] Child B**
Make some for Mom and Dad!
**[05:40] Levia**
You came at the right time.
There's plenty more kraken left over.
**[05:44] Children ABC**
Yay!
**[05:47] Ruri**
We can't just let it rot here!
**[05:50] Child B**
Pretty lady, thanks for
making up for the no-good man!
**[05:56] Children ABC**
Squid rings! Squid rings!
**[06:07] Villager A**
Damn that squid monster!
**[06:11] Villager A**
We can't go fishing as long
as that thing's out there.
**[06:14] Villager B**
Not to mention, the merchants stopped
coming here because of the war.
**[06:18] Villager C**
At this rate, we'll run
out of stored dried food.
**[06:22] Villager D**
We don't have a choice. The whole
village needs to fight that squid!
**[06:26] Setsu**
Um, excuse me.
**[06:28] Setsu**
Can I leave my squid here?
We'll be eating it right away.
**[06:33] Villagers A & D**
The squid monster came back as food?!
**[06:49] Girl**
Praise Levia, god of the ocean! Hurray!
**[06:52] Girls**
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
**[06:55] Villager A**
This is our village's finest
drink. Please enjoy.
**[06:59] Levia**
Very nice, thank you.
**[07:05] Villager C**
This is our signature seafood dish.
**[07:08] Villager C**
It pairs well with the drink.
**[07:11] Levia**
Not bad... but isn't fish better eaten raw?
**[07:15] Villager C**
This is as raw as it gets...
**[07:19] Ruri**
Here, here! Squid rings from fresh kraken,
caught just this afternoon!
**[07:24] Ruri**
They're the best!
**[07:28] Levia**
Setsu! Too slow!
**[07:31] Setsu**
Shut up! Don't make me do all the work!
**[07:44] Villager A**
The kraken got sliced up into
little rings straight away?!
**[07:47] Villager D**
What skill!
**[07:48] Girl A**
Yay!
**[07:49] Girl B**
Awesome!
**[07:50] Girl C**
Squid rings!
**[07:52] Setsu**
Take it out, Ruri!
**[07:53] Ruri**
Yes, sir!
**[07:54] Ruri**
Taking it!
**[07:56] Setsu**
Ruri, next batch coming up!
**[07:59] Ruri**
Yes, sir!
**[08:00] Setsu**
Ruri, hurry up!
**[08:02] Ruri**
Yes, sir! Yes, sir!
**[08:07] Vlad**
What?!
**[08:08] Vlad**
The village is on fire?
**[08:10] Vlad**
Have the humans landed on our shores?!
**[08:14] Vlad**
As the head of Demon Lord Dezastol's
personal guard, I, Vlad...
**[08:18] Vlad**
will not let this stand!
**[08:21] Vlad**
Just you wait, human soldiers!
**[08:31] Ruri**
Oh, hey, Levia-sama!
**[08:36] Ruri**
Good work out there!
**[08:39] Levia**
Hey, are you drunk, too?
**[08:42] Ruri**
No, I'm not.
**[08:45] Levia**
Yeah, this is just juice.
**[08:47] Ruri**
I told you so!
**[08:52] Ruri**
Anyway, come on, Levia-sama. Let's chat.
**[09:00] Ruri**
Levia-sama, how do you know Setsu-san?
**[09:05] Ruri**
You two seem to know the
Demon Lord very well, too.
**[09:14] Levia**
Let's see...
**[09:16] Levia**
If you phrase it like that,
**[09:19] Levia**
what's the right answer?
**[09:23] Levia**
Five years ago, Setsu tried to blaze
across my ocean without permission.
**[09:27] Levia**
I fought him, and then,
**[09:30] Levia**
he demanded I help him finish
the war and dragged me around.
**[09:35] Levia**
That was how it started.
**[09:40] Levia**
*In reality...*
**[09:42] Levia**
* All the noise of war had me so annoyed*
* that I went on a rampage,*
**[09:46] Levia**
*and he silenced me with one punch...*
**[09:50] Levia**
*But hey, technically I didn't lie, at least.*
**[09:54] Ruri**
So that's how you met the Demon Lord. I see.
**[09:59] Levia**
I thought Setsu the Hero
was famous in Distinia.
**[10:03] Ruri**
Huh?
**[10:04] Ruri**
Setsu the Hero? The person who got all
the kings to be friends and end the war?
**[10:13] Ruri**
That was...
**[10:14] Ruri**
What?!
**[10:16] Ruri**
Setsu-san is *the* Setsu?!
**[10:20] Ruri**
That explains how he knows Levia-sama
and the Demon Lord, and how he's so strong,
**[10:27] Ruri**
but why would someone
like that be my guard?!
**[10:33] Levia**
I guess Setsu wouldn't talk about
his past without being prompted.
**[10:38] Ruri**
S-So the number of accidents in the
ocean suddenly dropping... That was...
**[10:43] Levia**
Yes. I promised Setsu that I'd
maintain peace on the oceans.
**[10:48] Levia**
Yet...
**[10:50] Levia**
He suddenly disappeared, then reappears five
years later and treats me like a boat!
**[10:57] Levia**
Don't you think that's pretty awful?
**[11:00] Ruri**
Levia-sama, are you mad at Setsu-san?
**[11:06] Levia**
Well, I did get to see him again,
so I guess it's okay.
**[11:11] Setsu**
All right! Half off! It's a total steal!
**[11:12] Woman**
Half off? That's a good deal.
**[11:15] Setsu**
Thanks!
**[11:15] Young Woman**
Wow, it's so much cheaper!
**[11:16] Setsu**
Hey, don't push! Get in line!
**[11:17] Young Woman**
How much?
**[11:19] Ruri**
You must really love Setsu-san!
**[11:23] Levia**
No way!
**[11:25] Levia**
The god of the ocean,
in love with a human? No way.
**[11:29] Levia**
But I will admit,
I was waiting for him to return.
**[11:35] Vlad**
Everyone, are you all right?!
**[11:37] Vlad**
I, Vlad, head of the Demon Lord's
personal guard, am here!
**[11:40] Vlad**
Humans, you won't get your way!
**[11:43] Setsu**
Huh?
**[11:47] Girl A**
What's wrong, mister?
**[11:53] Girl A**
Want some squid rings?
**[11:56] Vlad**
Squid... rings?
***SIGN*** Sold Out
**[12:39] Levia**
They really are best when they're raw.
**[12:41] Vlad**
Levia-sama.
**[12:43] Vlad**
Again, apologies for my behavior earlier.
**[12:46] Vlad**
But I'm surprised that you're
in town in your human form.
**[12:52] Setsu**
Hey, Vlad, it's you.
**[12:55] Vlad**
That sword, that magic power,
and the squid rings!
**[12:59] Vlad**
I knew it was you, Setsu.
**[13:00] Vlad**
Though it was hard to tell,
given your new form.
**[13:03] Setsu**
Yeah, a lot happened.
**[13:05] Setsu**
Anyway, seeing you,
the Demon Lord's closest officer,
**[13:09] Setsu**
out of the castle at a time like this...
**[13:11] Setsu**
Is it because of the war?
**[13:13] Vlad**
Yes. I was looking for Levia-sama.
**[13:17] Vlad**
I didn't expect her to be with Setsu,
the missing hero, though.
**[13:22] Vlad**
I'm starting to see a ray of hope!
**[13:28] Vlad**
Levia-sama and Setsu!
**[13:31] Vlad**
I, Vlad, swallow my pride to implore you!
**[13:34] Vlad**
Please, save the Demon Lord!
**[13:41] Vlad**
The Demon Lord is being asked to
marry a man named Terran Sneeter.
**[13:49] Levia**
Marriage? I don't know who that man is,
but isn't that good news?
**[13:54] Vlad**
It's not good at all!
**[13:56] Vlad**
It's being called a marriage,
**[13:59] Vlad**
but in reality, it's subjugation
through a curse.
**[14:01] Setsu**
A subjugation curse?
**[14:03] Setsu**
But Dezas should be able
to shrug off most curses.
**[14:06] Vlad**
Well, he brought a powerfully cursed
necklace instead of a ring.
**[14:14] Setsu**
A curse so powerful that not
even Dezas can resist it...
**[14:18] Vlad**
You know of the war that
started about a month ago,
**[14:22] Vlad**
when the humans invaded us, right?
**[14:26] Setsu**
What? The humans invaded?
**[14:29] Vlad**
You didn't know?
**[14:30] Vlad**
One of the coastal villages was
attacked by soldiers in massive armor.
**[14:36] Vlad**
They even left the flag
of their country behind.
**[14:39] Setsu**
A flag? Of Distinia?
**[14:42] Vlad**
We were somehow able to fend them off,
**[14:44] Vlad**
but they've attacked
several more times since.
**[14:47] Vlad**
The demon lord sent an emissary to the
human nation, but they haven't returned.
**[14:53] Vlad**
Taking advantage of the Demon
Lord's reluctance to go to war,
**[14:56] Vlad**
one man offered to negotiate.
**[14:58] Vlad**
That man was Terran Sneeter.
**[15:01] Levia**
Oh? So that guy claims he can stop the war?
**[15:05] Vlad**
He does.
**[15:07] Setsu**
Is he really that powerful?
**[15:10] Setsu**
Sounds kinda shady, to be honest.
**[15:12] Vlad**
In a way, he's at the top of
this world, like you are.
**[15:18] Ruri**
Um, Setsu-san, he doesn't mean
Terran himself is a strong fighter.
**[15:24] Ruri**
Terran Sneeter is the world's
wealthiest merchant,
**[15:27] Ruri**
and head of the Terran Trading Company.
**[15:29] Ruri**
Most of the merchant ships at sea are
owned by the Terran Trading Company.
**[15:34] Levia**
Ah, right, those boorish ships
that are all over the sea.
**[15:38] Vlad**
He has a grip on all of the
money and wealth in the world.
**[15:42] Vlad**
Both we and the humans need the merchants'
help to wage a cross-continent war.
**[15:50] Vlad**
That's why we believe his claims
aren't completely baseless, but...
**[15:55] Setsu**
So Dezas is willing to become a slave,
just to stop this war?
**[16:03] Vlad**
Yes.
**[16:04] Setsu**
What about you?! Are the generals of
the Demon Lord's army okay with that?!
**[16:10] Vlad**
Of course not! We will fight for the
Demon Lord until the last man standing!
**[16:15] Setsu**
Then why—
**[16:16] Levia**
Because she promised you
she'd maintain the peace.
**[16:23] Levia**
What a silly woman, clinging to a promise
she made with someone who disappeared.
**[16:30] Levia**
But that's precisely why...
**[16:34] Levia**
we can't leave her alone.
**[16:37] Setsu**
Yeah.
**[16:40] Setsu**
You're right.
**[16:55] Setsu**
Let's go!
**[17:07] Setsu**
Never thought we'd be using the same route
**[17:09] Setsu**
we used to launch our surprise attack on the Demon Lord's castle back then.
**[17:12] Levia**
Yes, this brings back memories.
**[17:19] Setsu**
Here's our welcoming party.
**[17:21] Levia**
Well, then, you can rely on
me to serve as your escort!
**[17:28] Vlad**
The date of the wedding ceremony
that Terran mentioned is unclear,
**[17:31] Vlad**
but given what the Demon
Lord herself wants to do,
**[17:34] Vlad**
we don't have a moment to waste.
**[17:36] Setsu**
She was never one to back down
once she'd made up her mind.
**[17:40] Vlad**
Also, Terran is surrounded by skilled guards.
**[17:45] Vlad**
The road to the castle is
also crawling with monsters.
**[17:47] Vlad**
Do try to conserve your magic power, Setsu.
**[17:51] Levia**
You can leave that part to me.
**[17:54] Vlad**
Your words are truly reassuring. Thank you.
**[17:57] Setsu**
I'm taking the shortest route.
Can you keep up?
**[18:00] Levia**
Who do you think you're talking to?
I'm the god of the ocean.
**[18:04] Setsu**
Well, I'm off, then.
**[18:07] Setsu**
I'll have it taken care of
by the time you arrive.
**[18:17] Vlad**
I'm counting on you, Setsu.
**[18:46] Levia**
So what's the plan?
**[18:48] Setsu**
For what?
**[18:49] Levia**
When we get there.
**[18:51] Setsu**
It's obvious.
**[18:53] Setsu**
I'll blow away this stupid wedding or whatever,
and that Terran guy along with it.
**[18:59] Levia**
But how will you stop the war
without that rich merchant?
**[19:03] Setsu**
I'm actually suspecting he's behind it.
**[19:09] Setsu**
Vlad just said Distinia was the
one that attacked first, right?
**[19:13] Setsu**
But in Distinia, they said
the demons attacked first.
**[19:19] Setsu**
I also saw a bunch of big
armored guys attack,
**[19:24] Setsu**
but that wasn't Distinia *or* the demons.
**[19:29] Setsu**
Look, this war didn't break out by
pure coincidence like last time.
**[19:33] Setsu**
Someone set it up.
**[19:36] Setsu**
While both sides think
they were attacked first,
**[19:38] Setsu**
some shady dude comes in with
a cursed necklace to sell peace.
**[19:44] Setsu**
How much shadier can it get?
**[19:47] Levia**
So that Terran fellow is...
**[19:50] Setsu**
I don't know who the true mastermind is,
**[19:53] Setsu**
but I'm sure Terran at least knows something.
**[19:56] Levia**
In that case...
**[20:11] Levia**
I guess I don't need to hold back!
**[20:13] Setsu**
Wow, you're a real beast on land, too.
**[20:17] Setsu**
Did you actually get stronger?
**[20:19] Levia**
This is nothing compared to
what I can do in the ocean.
**[20:22] Levia**
It's not like I was asleep
the whole time you were gone.
**[20:32] Levia**
*Yes. It's always been like this with Setsu.*
**[20:36] Levia**
*We took risks, had adventures...*
**[20:43] Levia**
* Until five years ago, I had no interest*
* in what happened on the shore.*
**[20:49] Levia**
* I just spent my time doing nothing*
* at the bottom of the ocean.*
**[20:56] Levia**
* But after meeting Setsu,*
* after being with him,*
**[21:01] Levia**
*I realized how beautiful this world is.*
**[21:04] Levia**
*That's why, right now...*
**[21:06] Levia**
* Not just because I promised Setsu,*
* but also of my own free will,*
**[21:10] Levia**
*for these peaceful seas,*
**[21:12] Levia**
*this peaceful world...*
**[21:15] Levia**
I won't let Dezas take all the attention!
**[21:22] Levia**
Oh, yeah, one thing...
**[21:26] Setsu**
What now?
**[21:28] Levia**
Your squid rings are better than raw squid!
**[21:33] Setsu**
In that case, I'll make as many as you want.
**[21:40] Setsu**
There it is! Evilbarrow,
castle of the Demon Lord!
**[21:45] Levia**
Do your worst, Setsu!
**[21:48] Setsu**
Yeah, count on it!
