[00:01] Dezastol
I have had a long life.
[00:06] Dezastol
Because I've lived so long, I've learned
that the world is beyond my control.
[00:13] Dezastol
So I fought.
[00:17] Dezastol
As ruler, as protector, as heir...
[00:24] Dezastol
I fought, and fought, and kept fighting...
[00:37] (Flashback) Previous Setsu
Let's stop this stupid war.
[00:42] (Flashback) Previous Setsu
I'd rather sit down and have a talk with you.
[00:47] (Flashback) Dezastol
Setsu...
[00:51] (Flashback) Previous Setsu
Here.
[00:57] (Flashback) Dezastol
What is this?
[01:01] (Flashback) Previous Setsu
A token of reconciliation.
[01:03] (Flashback) Previous Setsu
I think black would look great on you, Dezas.
[01:06] (Flashback) Dezastol
Setsu...
[01:09] Dezastol
I thought what I needed
to do to live my life
[01:12] Dezastol
was give up what makes me me*.
SIGN Evilbarrow, the Dark Lord's Castle
[01:25] (Flashback) Dezastol
Missing?
[01:27] (Flashback) Vlad
Yes.
[01:28] (Flashback) Vlad
We did all we could, but couldn't find him.
[01:30] (Flashback) Vlad
It seems like Distinia has
no idea where he is, either.
[01:35] (Flashback) Dezastol
Enough.
[01:44] (Flashback) Dezastol
Even if we never meet again, I will keep
the promise of peace I made to you...
[01:51] (Flashback) Dezastol
Setsu.
[01:54] (Flashback) Dezastol
We did strike a peace deal,
[01:56] (Flashback) Dezastol
but there's still much to do before
we achieve true, lasting peace.
[02:00] (Flashback) Dezastol
We must redouble our efforts, Vlad.
[02:01] (Flashback) Vlad
Yes! I, Vlad, will lay down my life for this!
[02:09] (Flashback) Demon Civilian
Lord Dezastol!
[02:11] (Flashback) Demon Civilian
We have fresh fruit from Distinia today!
[02:14] (Flashback) Beastman Civilian
My lord! The meat from my homeland
is fresh and tasty, too!
[02:21] (Flashback) Vlad
It has been five years
since the end of the war.
[02:23] (Flashback) Vlad
It's great to see our
nation prosper like this.
[02:25] (Flashback) Dezastol
Yes. Everyone worked so hard. War is—
[02:40] (Flashback) Vlad
My lord?
[02:43] (Flashback) Dezastol
Perhaps I've spent too much time wearing it.
[02:49] (Flashback) Vlad
I heard there is a skilled
jeweler in Distinia.
[02:53] (Flashback) Vlad
I'll send it out for repairs.
[02:55] (Flashback) Dezastol
Thank you. Sorry to send
you on a personal errand.

SIGN Receiving a Gift for a Second Time
[04:48] (Flashback) Messenger Soldier
Reporting! A Distinian army has
appeared and invaded us!
[04:54] (Flashback) Messenger Soldier
Battle rages as we speak,
just outside of Evilbarrow!
[04:59] (Flashback) Vlad
Only five years after the peace charter?
[05:02] (Flashback) Vlad
How frail this peace was.
[05:05] (Flashback) Dezastol
Let's not jump to conclusions.
[05:09] (Flashback) Dezastol
Gather all the top officers immediately!
[05:11] (Flashback) Dezastol
We will prepare our army!
[05:13] (Flashback) Vlad; Ides; Lily
Yes, my lord!
[05:14] (Flashback) Dezastol
Zeon and Lamina,
head to Distinia immediately.
[05:18] (Flashback) Dezastol
Something is suspicious.
[05:20] (Flashback) Dezastol
We must first find out what's going on.
[05:22] (Flashback) Zeon; Lamina
Yes, my lord!
[05:30] (Flashback) Dezastol
Setsu, I will keep our promise.
No matter what.
[05:46] (Flashback) Demon Soldier A
Weapons go in the first warehouse, food and
medicine to the second warehouse! Hurry!
[05:51] (Flashback) Demon Soldier B
We have to return to the
front lines right away.
[05:53] (Flashback) Demon Soldier B
Who knows if we'll come
back alive this time...
[05:56] (Flashback) Demon Soldier C
So there are huge, armored enemies
that weren't there five years ago?
[06:00] (Flashback) Demon Soldier D
What did we sign that peace charter for?
[06:03] (Flashback) Demon Soldier D
We should never have trusted the humans.
[06:07] (Flashback) Demon Soldier E
If a full-on war breaks out and
destroys our supply chain, we'll...
[06:11] (Flashback) Demon Soldier F
It's fine! As long as we buy her some time,
the Demon Lord will take care of this.
[06:19] (Flashback) Dezastol
Even after a month,
there's been no contact from Distinia...
[06:26] (Flashback) Dezastol
We're holding the line for now,
but our nation won't last long at this rate.
[06:33] (Flashback) Dezastol
Am I incapable of keeping
my promise to Setsu?
[06:38] (Flashback) Vlad
Excuse me.
[06:40] (Flashback) Dezastol
Vlad. What is it?
[06:42] (Flashback) Vlad
Terran Sneeter from the Terran Trading
Company requests an audience with you.
[06:48] (Flashback) Dezastol
Terran himself?
[06:50] (Flashback) Dezastol
Well, I can't turn him away.
[06:53] (Flashback) Dezastol
Let him in.
[06:54] (Flashback) Vlad
Yes, my lord.
[07:01] (Flashback) Ides
Are you crazy?!
[07:02] (Flashback) Lily
Watch what you say, lowly human!
[07:05] (Flashback) Terran
Oh, no. I am completely serious.
[07:08] (Flashback) Terran
This is a sincere offer.
[07:12] (Flashback) Terran
I would like to use the power of Terran
Trading to help end the war with Distinia.
[07:19] (Flashback) Terran
What more could a ruler ask for?
[07:23] (Flashback) Dezastol
Using your wealth, purported
to be the greatest in the world?
[07:27] (Flashback) Terran
Yes. To be honest, I feel we can end
the war outright, not just offer help.
[07:33] (Flashback) Terran
That's how powerful the
Terran Trading Company is.
[07:46] (Flashback) Dezastol
And in return, you would ask...
[07:48] (Flashback) Terran
To have you become my wife,
Dezastol Serreno. Precisely.
[07:56] (Flashback) Dezastol
You must mean your slave.
[08:01] (Flashback) Terran
If it means having your beauty in my grasp,
then you may call it whatever you wish.
[08:06] (Flashback) Terran
Here is the necklace on which
we will swear our vows.
[08:13] (Flashback) Vlad
A curse of servitude?! And so powerful...
[08:16] (Flashback) Dezastol
It seems you came well prepared.
[08:19] (Flashback) Dezastol
Where did you get such a thing?
[08:21] (Flashback) Terran
It did require some effort on my part,
[08:24] (Flashback) Terran
but it was all in the name of my love for you.
[08:30] (Flashback) Vlad
My lord, do not even entertain such nonsense!
[08:34] (Flashback) Vlad
We must immediately take this fool and—
[08:37] (Flashback) Dezastol
Give me some time to think.
[08:40] (Flashback) Vlad
My lord!
[08:44] (Flashback) Terran
I have all the time in the world.
[08:49] (Flashback) Terran
But I wonder...
[08:51] (Flashback) Terran
Do you have that kind of time?
[09:11] (Flashback) Dezastol
Is this the only way I can
keep my promise to you?
[09:19] (Flashback) Vlad
My lord...
[09:21] (Flashback) Dezastol
I thought I asked everyone to leave.
[09:27] (Flashback) Vlad
There's no need for you to
accept that ridiculous offer.
[09:30] (Flashback) Vlad
Your army is ready to fight to the
last man for you, myself included.
[09:38] (Flashback) Dezastol
I know. That's why I can't refuse.
[09:55] (Flashback) Dezastol
Do you think me a foolish woman,
unworthy of being the Demon Lord?
[10:00] (Flashback) Vlad
I won't give up. Please excuse me.
[10:08] (Flashback) Dezastol
You told me black would look good on me.
[10:12] (Flashback) Dezastol
Will you laugh when you see me wear
white against my wishes, Setsu?
[10:20] (Flashback) Terran
Dezastol was easier to
convince than I expected.
[10:25] (Flashback) Terran
It seems lending aid to your schemes through
the Terran Trading Company will pay off.
[10:32] (Flashback) Terran
Now the demonic nation is ours.
[10:36] (Flashback) Terran
If we push any further,
we might start a tiresome war.
[10:40] (Flashback) Terran
Should we pull back those
expensive magic soldiers?
[10:44] (Flashback) Kagerou
No need.
[10:46] (Flashback) Terran
Why not? You want the demonic nation,
I want the beautiful Demon Lord.
[10:53] (Flashback) Terran
This deal is settled, is it not?
[10:56] (Flashback) Kagerou
Because it is the will of my master.
SIGN —Day of the Wedding—
[11:43] Audience
So beautiful!
[12:19] Priest
Groom, Terran Sneeter, and bride,
Dezastol Serreno.
[12:26] Priest
You may now exchange your vows of love.
[12:32] Terran
I, Terran Sneeter, and
Demon Lord Dezastol Serreno,
[12:38] Terran
swear today to enter into a
vow of master and servant!
[12:43] Terran
And the Terran Trading Company,
through the annexation
[12:45] Terran
of the power of the demonic
nation of Eviltheon,
[12:48] Terran
vows to bring eternal prosperity
and everlasting peace to the world!
[12:58] Terran
Now, my compatriots!
[13:00] Terran
Pledge your allegiance to me,
your new Demon Lord,
[13:04] Terran
and together we will protect the world
and leave our names in the history books!
[13:17] Terran
Now, enough theatrics.
[13:24] Terran
Dezastol Serreno, you will vow
eternal love to me, Terran.
[13:48] Dezastol
If only I could see you*
one last time... Setsu...
[14:02] Audience A
Wh-What?!
[14:03] Audience B
An explosion?! Are we under attack?!
[14:20] Setsu
I'm here to rescue you, princess.
[14:25] Dezastol
Setsu!
[14:32] Ruri
Vlad-san, look!
[14:35] Ruri
That's Setsu-san, isn't it?
[14:37] Vlad
He's as over-the-top as ever.
[14:40] Vlad
Let's hurry.
[14:42] Terran
Wh-What are you?!
[14:45] Terran
What are you?!
[14:50] Terran
Fools! Do your job! Protect me!
[15:03] Dezastol
Levia!
[15:04] Levia
Dezas, you really don't look good in white.
[15:08] Levia
You should give up on
wearing a wedding dress.
[15:15] Kagerou
Shadow Magic: Shadow Stab.
[15:23] Levia
I can't move?!
[15:24] Kagerou
The god of the seas isn't
too impressive on land, I see.
[15:34] Dezastol
Stop!
[15:52] Setsu
So, ready to pay for making Dezas cry?
[16:01] Kagerou
I wasn't expecting Setsu the Hero to show up.
[16:04] Kagerou
I'll have quite the report to give my master!
[16:07] Setsu
Your master?
[16:14] Kagerou
What?!
[16:29] Setsu
Is that it? You're not even trying.
[16:34] Kagerou
You are indeed strong,
[16:36] Kagerou
but today I must prioritize
notifying my master.
[16:40] Kagerou
We'll settle this later, Setsu the Hero.
[17:00] Setsu
Damn it, he got away.
[17:03] Dezastol
Setsu!
[17:05] Dezastol
I missed you! I missed you, Setsu!
[17:08] Dezastol
Where did you go without me?!
[17:12] Setsu
Y-Yeah, that's a long story...
[17:16] Setsu
Anyway, I'm glad you're safe, Dezas.
[17:20] Dezas
Yes!
[17:23] Levia
Uh, sorry to interrupt this
touching reunion, but...
[17:36] Dezastol
Magic soldiers made from curses...
[17:44] Setsu
These curses... I guess it really
must be Toma behind the scenes.
[17:52] Dezastol
I suspected it might be possible.
So it really is Toma, then.
[17:57] Dezastol
Then, as Demon Lord,
I must lend you aid, Setsu!
[18:01] Dezastol
He needs to pay for making me wear this.
[18:04] Setsu
I'll let you handle things here, then.
I'll go visit Regulus.
[18:09] Setsu
There's no telling what Toma might try.
[18:12] Dezastol
The Beastmen...
[18:13] Dezastol
Yes, securing the aid of Regulus, King of
the Beastmen, would be most reassuring.
[18:19] Dezastol
But this all seems very rushed.
[18:22] Setsu
We do have a promise of peace to keep.
[18:24] Dezastol
Yes.
[18:27] Dezastol
We must do this, for our promise.
[18:30] Levia
Wait, are we leaving right away?
[18:33] Levia
Am I on ferry duty again?
[18:37] Levia
I've been running around fighting all night!
[18:41] Ruri
Setsu-san!
[18:44] Vlad
Oh, no! The castle is a mess!
[18:49] Ruri
Did everything work out?
[18:51] Setsu
Yeah. It was pretty close, though.
[18:59] Ruri
You should be the one to give this to her.
[19:02] Ruri
It's important, right?
[19:06] Setsu
Yeah, thanks.
[19:12] Dezastol
Setsu?
[19:25] Setsu
This makes another second time.
[19:32] Dezastol
Yes, the second time.
[19:49] Dezastol
That's right.
[19:53] Dezastol
Once again, you've taught me
what it means to live.
[21:47] Dezastol
I would have loved to accompany you,
[21:51] Dezastol
but this is no time for the
ruler to leave her throne.
[21:55] Setsu
Yeah. Once we get back to peace,
I'll take you wherever you want.
[22:02] Dezastol
Yes. That's a promise.
[22:05] Vlad
Well, um... Just because it's peacetime
doesn't mean the ruler can leave the country...
[22:11] Levia
That's where you come in.
[22:15] Levia
Don't make Dezas do all the work.
[22:17] Dezastol
Yes.
[22:18] Ruri
The Demon Lord kindly allowed
me to open a shop here!
[22:24] Ruri
My very own shop! It's my dream come true!
[22:26] Setsu
Are you sure?
[22:28] Dezastol
She delivered my precious brooch.
It's the least I could do.
[22:34] Vlad
Thanks for the help, Setsu.
[22:37] Vlad
If you need anything,
we will race to your side.
[22:41] Setsu
Yeah. I'll be counting on you.
[22:48] Setsu
All right, ready to go?
[22:50] Levia
Oh, very well.
[22:52] Levia
I'll tag along with you, no matter how far!
[22:56] Setsu
Yeah!
[23:05] Dezastol
Be sure to come straight
back to me once it's all over!
[23:17] Setsu
Yeah, see you soon!
