[00:00] Amane
    Man, today was hot! Want some barley tea?
[00:04] Amane
    We have permission to raid the fridge.
[00:06] Chiho
    Okay, I'll pour it, then.
[00:12] Amane
    Not your first time, huh?
[00:15] Chiho
    I use this kitchen a lot.
[00:19] Chiho
    Ms. Amane, how much do
    you know about Mr. Maou?
[00:26] Amane
    Only that he's not from Earth,
    and also not human.
[00:30] Amane
    Since he can use magic,
    he's probably a demon or something.
[00:35] Amane
    As I see it, I'd say he
    fought with Yusa and her group,
[00:37] Amane
    fled to this world when he lost,
[00:39] Amane
    and then got stuck doing part-time
    work because his magic was gone.
[00:42] Amane
    That's about it.
[00:44] Chiho
    You've already guessed
    almost his entire past.
[00:49] Amane
    Have I? It was just conjecture.
[00:53] Chiho
    Say—
[00:54] Amane
    Well, I guess I'll tell you... but only you.
[01:02] Amane
    I've made it so no one can eavesdrop on us.
[01:07] Chiho
    Then I'd like to ask you some questions.
[01:10] Amane
    Wow, you're gonna take notes?
    You're serious.
[01:13] Amane
    So, what would you like to know?
[01:16] Chiho
    Ms. Amane, how are you related
    to the Tree of Life on Earth
[01:19] Chiho
    and the sephiroth born from it?
[01:22] Amane
    Jumping in the deep end, eh?
[01:24] Amane
    You could say I'm like Alas Ramus and Acieth.
[01:30] Amane
    But I wasn't born directly
    from sephiroth like they were.
[01:33] Amane
    My dad came from a sephirah,
    but my mother is human,
[01:37] Amane
    so I guess you can think of me as biracial.
[01:39] Amane
    And Aunt Mikitty is Dad's older sister,
[01:43] Amane
    so she's the child of a sephirah, like him.
[01:45] Amane
    And due to her role—
[01:52] Amane
    Auntie!
[01:53] Landlady
    Miss Chiho Sasaki, let me ask you one thing.
[01:57] Landlady
    Even if you learn the truth, you will
     not be able to change anything.
[02:01] Landlady
    Do you still want to know everything?
[02:06] Chiho
    Yes, even if I regret it later.
[02:10] Chiho
    If I run from knowing, I won't get anywhere.
[02:14] Chiho
    I want to stay friends with
    the people I love forever.
[02:17] Chiho
    That's why I'm here.

[03:50] Olba
    Defeating a Malebranche leader is
    a promising start, isn't it?

[03:54] Olba
    It proves that the Hero's
    presence is helping the troops.
[03:58] Emi
    I don't see why we had to kill them.
[04:01] Olba
    It was necessary in order to
    save the Emperor-Unifier, clearly.
[04:09] Alciel (Ashiya)
    I'll be brief:
[04:11] Alciel
    It was the Emilia who slew one of your
    leaders, and she's on her way to Heavensky.
[04:15] Barbariccia
    Emilia is in Ente Isla? But why?
[04:20] Alciel
    I assume Heaven's objectives are
    to further weaken the demon realm
[04:23] Alciel
    and to boost humans' faith
    by subjugating demons.
[04:27] Alciel
    That would be why Olba has
    Emilia heading the army.
[04:31] Alciel
    First she acts all superior,
    then she drags us into this mess...
[04:36] Alciel
    This week His Majesty works
    the morning shift on Monday,
[04:40] Alciel
    an evening shift on Tuesday,
    the full day Wednesday,
[04:43] Alciel
    the early shift plus a supervisory
    late shift on Thursday,
[04:45] Alciel
    and noon to closing on Friday.
[04:47] Alciel
    Then he's off Saturday,
    works all of Sunday,
[04:49] Alciel
    then he's off the following Monday
    with the early shift on Tuesday...
[04:52] Alciel
    That would make the greatest
    obstacles finding a sub for Sunday
[04:55] Alciel
    and dealing with Thursday's
    supervisory shift.
[04:58] Alciel
    I believe staffing was already
    going to be light those days.
[05:02] Alciel
    We should assume that the easiest time
    for him to make a move is Thursday afternoon.
[05:07] Alciel
    Where is the Emperor-Unifier?
    I hope you haven't killed him.
[05:11] Barbariccia
    No, sir. As the symbol Efzahan
    fights for, he's too important.
[05:15] Barbariccia
    We've confined him in the Cloud Retreat
    so that he won't be dosed with our magic.
[05:20] Alciel
    Lead me there. I'm going to speak with him.
[05:24] Barbariccia
    Yes, sir.
[05:26] Maou
    Screw that!
[05:27] Suzuno
    It's for your own safety.
[05:29] Maou
    Don't give me that.
    I've never been so disgraced!
[05:33] Albert
    Says the guy who's done nothing
    but eat and sleep since he got here.
[05:37] Maou
    Albert! Don't talk to
    me like I'm Urushihara!
[05:40] Maou
    There are some things
    you just shouldn't say!
[05:42] Suzuno
    It's the only way. You'd be
    no help whatsoever in a fight.
[05:46] Suzuno
    Which means you need to
    stay here and wait for us.
[05:49] Maou
    Shit...
[05:51] Maou
    Hey, Acieth!
[05:52] Acieth Alla
    Mmm?
[05:53] Maou
    Why isn't my magic coming back?!
[05:56] Acieth Alla
    Shrimp...
[05:57] Maou
    What about shrimp?!
[05:59] Acieth Alla
    Maybe we'll know if we eat salted shrimp.
[06:04] Suzuno
    Stop! I understand how you feel,
     but you can't do that!
[06:07] Maou
    Lemme go, Suzuno!
[06:08] Acieth Alla
    Darn... no shrimp...
[06:14] Maou
    Ow! I get it, I get it!
[06:18] Suzuno
    Keep your cool. It's not
    as though this is your fault.
[06:21] Maou
    But if I don't fight, what was
    the point of skipping shifts to come here?!
[06:25] Suzuno
    I don't want you to fight without
    access to your power and get hurt.
[06:30] Suzuno
    I vow to bring everyone back safely.
[06:40] Suzuno
    We've let your power carry us so far.
[06:44] Suzuno
    Just this once, I want you
    to let us return the favor.
[06:47] Suzuno
    This is my recommendation as
    a general of the new Devil's army.
[06:52] Maou
    Suzuno...
[06:53] Albert
    I don't know what happened in Japan,
    but I never surrendered to your army.
[06:59] Maou
    I know. We just happen to have
    the same goal of rescuing Emi.
[07:04] Maou
    The more companions the better right now.
[07:07] Albert
    "Companions," eh?
[07:09] Maou
    By the way, I've been
    meaning to ask you something.
[07:13] Maou
    Why have you and Emerada let Emi
    live in Japan without defeating me?
[07:19] Maou
    I figured you two might come kill me
    there and just not tell her first.
[07:23] Albert
    It's not like we didn't consider that.
[07:26] Maou
    So you did.
[07:28] Albert
    I don't know Eme's thought process, but I'm
     sure she respected Emilia's wishes.
[07:33] Albert
    Beyond that, just be grateful to
    Adramelech and that Sasaki girl.
[07:38] Maou
    What are you talking about?
[07:39] Suzuno
    Come on, it's time to go.
[07:42] Albert
    Hey, I hear the volunteer army and
    the Malebranche clashed recently,
[07:47] Albert
    and a Malebranche leader got defeated.
[07:49] Albert
    Emilia might be involved.
[07:54] Albert
    Anyway, you stay here with
    the sacred sword girl and behave.
[08:00] Suzuno
    Good Albert, what did you mean by that?
[08:04] Albert
    Mean by what?
[08:06] Suzuno
    "Be grateful to Adramelech."
[08:08] Albert
    Oh, that?
[08:10] Albert
    The truth is, I've known for a while
[08:13] Albert
    that the Devil's army wasn't
    just trying to kill all humans.
[08:17] Albert
    And that demons can be reasonable.
[08:21] Albert
    I guessed it when Adramelech's
    forces wiped the floor with us.
[08:27] Albert
    I was prepared to die, and then...
[08:29] (Flashback) Adramelech
    Our objective is not to commit massacres!
[08:33] (Flashback) Adramelech
    Submit to our rule, and I'll guarantee
    the lives of your people.
[08:38] Albert
    True, he slaughtered everyone
    who rose against him.
[08:42] Albert
    But he never killed civilians for fun.
[08:46] Albert
    Later, when we fought him
    again to defeat the Devil...
[08:50] (Flashback) Albert
    Let me fight this one alone!
[08:53] (Flashback) Albert
    Battle me one on one!
[08:56] (Flashback) Adramelech
    I don't acknowledge anyone carried
     away by cheap pride as a warrior.
[09:00] (Flashback) Adramelech
    Come, Hero and her companions!
[09:05] Albert
    He was a better warrior and
    a better human being than me.
[09:09] Albert
    Though I guess it's weird to
    call a demon a "human being."
[09:14] Albert
    Adramelech wouldn't follow a king
    who was just some bloodthirsty beast.
[09:21] Albert
    So when Emilia said she wouldn't kill Satan,
[09:24] Albert
    I figured I was okay with observing
[09:26] Albert
    just what sort of people
    these "demons" really are.
[09:30] Suzuno
    They may not be much different from us.
[09:34] Albert
    So, what now?
[09:36] Suzuno
    With the Devil unable
    to use the sacred sword,
[09:38] Suzuno
    it would be hard for us to openly
    take back Emilia and the others.
[09:42] Suzuno
    Our mission has two objectives:
[09:45] Suzuno
    Within the next twelve hours,
    we must free the Emperor-Unifier
[09:49] Suzuno
    and rescue Nord Justina,
    the reason Emilia's hands are tied.
[09:52] Suzuno
    We'll find them before
    the volunteer army does.
[09:57] Albert
    You're suggesting we kidnap not just
    Emilia's dad, but the Emperor-Unifier too?!
[10:02] Suzuno
    For us, it's not impossible.
[10:05] Suzuno
    I've had enough of demons and humans
    fighting for reasons neither understand.
[10:11] Suzuno
    We'll do what it takes to
    avoid their armies clashing.
[10:18] Maou
    I know I gotta skip a turn, but I can't
    just sit here twiddling my thumbs.
[10:23] Acieth Alla
    Lookie, Big Sis...
[10:27] Acieth Alla
    Japanese Black wagyu...
[10:29] Maou
    I will never feed you that.
[10:32] Maou
    Hey! Wake up, Acieth!
[10:34] Acieth Alla
    Y-Y-You startled me!
[10:36] Acieth Alla
    What the heck, Maou? I was about
    to eat Iberico pork pastrami!
[10:42] Maou
    What happened to the wagyu?
[10:44] Maou
    Come on, let's go train.
[10:47] Acieth Alla
    I'm not doing well either,
    you know. I'm so hungry!
[10:53] Maou
    Explain this to me from the beginning.
[10:56] Maou
    Why do you and Alas Ramus fuse with us?
[11:01] Maou
    You said something about mistletoe before.
[11:03] Acieth Alla
    Pass me that stew.
[11:09] Acieth Alla
    You're sorely mistaken if you think
    you'll get answers that easily, mwahaha.
[11:12] Maou
    Excuse me?
[11:13] Acieth Alla
    I dunno either!
[11:15] Acieth Alla
    I dunno why I can fuse with you or Dad,
[11:19] Acieth Alla
    just that it's something I need to do.
[11:22] Acieth Alla
    I don't think any of the others know, either.
[11:24] Maou
    Others?
[11:26] Acieth Alla
    Didn't Big Sis tell you
    about Malkuth or Geburah?
[11:31] Maou
    Oh, them. Do they take human form, too?
[11:35] Acieth Alla
    Malkuth is the smartest one of us.
[11:38] Acieth Alla
    Malkuth's the one who taught us
    the word "mistletoe."
[11:42] Maou
    So where are they now?
[11:44] Acieth Alla
    Dunno. It's been a super long
    time since I talked to them.
[11:48] Maou
    The melancholy face doesn't really work
[11:50] Maou
    when your cheeks stuffed
    with food like a squirrel's.
[11:54] Maou
    But listen...
[11:56] Maou
    We're one step away from Alas
    Ramus now. We gotta do our best.
[12:01] Acieth Alla
    Darn... you got me.
[12:03] Acieth Alla
    I'll train, but it'll make me hungry,
     so I'll eat ten more buns!
[12:08] Acieth Alla
    Hey, Pops! More bean-jam buns!
[12:12] Acieth Alla
    I can't go on...
[12:14] Maou
    You are such a disappointment!
[12:18] Restaurant Manager
    Oh, those are for warding off evil.
[12:21] Restaurant Manager
    Everyone's worried that the peace
    of our nation might crumble again.
[12:26] Restaurant Manager
    Here, your leftover buns and
    some of those firecrackers.
[12:30] Restaurant Manager
    Take them as a souvenir. They're good luck.
[12:32] Maou
    A souvenir, huh?
[12:35] Maou
    Hey, Acieth.
[12:36] Acieth Alla
    Huh? Can't train.
[12:39] Maou
    We'll take a walk to help you digest.
[12:42] Acieth Alla
    What kinda walk?
[12:43] Maou
    A shopping trip.
[12:50] Alas Ramus
    Mama, this corn soup isn't like Suzu-sis's.
[12:54] Emi
    Oh. Okay, how's this?
[12:59] Alas Ramus
    Not like Alciel's.
[13:01] Emi
    Oh... Please eat anyway, okay, Alas Ramus?
[13:06] Emi
    You like fried chicken, right?
[13:08] Alas Ramus
    I want Chi-sis's!
[13:11] Emi
    Let's have them make us dinner
    again when we go home, okay?
[13:14] Emi
    So for now...
[13:16] Alas Ramus
    When can we go home?
[13:19] Emi
    I know food isn't as good
    when we're not all together.
[13:23] Emi
    But we have to eat.
[13:25] Olba
    Emilia...
[13:26] Olba
    It's time for a war council.
[13:30] Acieth Alla
    You buy this stuff, Maou?
[13:32] Acieth Alla
    It doesn't seem like you.
[13:35] Maou
    It's not for me.
    We're buying Chi a souvenir.
[13:39] Acieth Alla
    A souvenir for Chiho?
[13:41] Acieth Alla
    Do we really have time for that?
[13:43] Maou
    You're one to talk.
[13:47] Maou
    We have to throw a birthday party
    when we get back. For Chi and Emi.
[13:51] Acieth Alla
    Emi is the one Big Sis fused with, right?
[13:55] Maou
    Yep. We should've done
    the party a while ago.
[13:59] Maou
    And I don't want Chi to be sad.
[14:08] Acieth Alla
    That's why you're buying Chiho
    a present with Suzuno's money?
[14:12] Acieth Alla
    Ow!
[14:13] Maou
    I'm gonna pay her back in yen later!
[14:15] Acieth Alla
    Wait, I know Suzuno and Chiho are
    your friends, but is Emi your friend too?
[14:20] Maou
    I have a feeling Chi'll be sad
    if I don't get a present for Emi.
[14:26] Acieth Alla
    Who is Emi to you, Maou?
[14:28] Maou
    Good question. There's some
    complicated stuff involving Alas Ramus,
[14:32] Maou
    but to me, she's... yeah,
    "rival" fits the best, I think.
[14:38] Acieth Alla
    Rival?
[14:39] Maou
    Emi treats me like she's my equal or better.
[14:43] Maou
    Everything I lack, she has.
[14:45] Maou
    I don't want to lose to her.
[14:47] Maou
    And she calls me her archenemy, after all.
[14:51] Acieth Alla
    But you're giving her a present
    on her birthday? I don't get it.
[14:56] Maou
    Hey Acieth, these are good, right?
[14:59] Maou
    They're both practical and cute.
[15:01] Acieth Alla
    Sure, why not?
[15:04] Maou
    Okay, I'm going with these.
[15:07] Maou
    I'm ready to pay.
[15:09] Store Manager
    You got it.
[15:10] Maou
    Now, Acieth, is your stomach
    about settled down?
[15:19] Maou
    No! Not inside!
[15:27] Maou
    Acieth, what's wrong?! What just happened?!
[15:31] Maou
    You're reacting so strongly—
    is it Alas Ramus's influence?
[15:35] Maou
    Damn it, Suzuno and Albert
    better not have messed up!
[15:40] Maou
    Acieth! Let's land and—
    Hey, no! Not from this height!
[15:56] Messenger
    Lady Emilia!
[15:58] Emi
    What is it?
[15:59] Messenger
    I have a message from
    the advance troops in Heavensky.
[16:01] Messenger
    Please don't panic.
[16:03] Emi
    Well, let's have it.
[16:05] Messenger
    I know it's hard to believe,
[16:07] Messenger
    but they report that Demon General Alciel
     is in Heavensky's castle tower.
[16:11] Emi
    What?! Ashiya—er, Alciel?
[16:15] Emi
    Is this true?
[16:16] Messenger
    Yes. He suddenly appeared
    there several days ago.
[16:19] Messenger
    Sources say he's lying in wait for our army.
[16:22] Emi
    And the Devil? Is Satan there?!
[16:25] Messenger
    No, no reports of him...
    But didn't you defeat him, ma'am?
[16:31] Emi
    Yes... Yes, of course.
[16:34] Olba
    In any case, Alciel is no
    match for you on his own.
[16:38] Olba
    The volunteer army, led by Emilia the Hero,
    will wipe all demons from this land.
[16:43] Olba
    After that, we'll defeat
    Demon General Alciel in Heavensky
[16:47] Olba
    and save the Emperor-Unifier.
[16:50] Olba
    This time, we'll get Alciel.
[16:53] Emi
    So that's my role here.
[16:58] Alas Ramus
    Alciel is here?
[17:01] Alas Ramus
    Is Papa here, too?
[17:05] Alas Ramus
    Papa, too?
[17:06] Emi
    Papa... the Devil...
[17:11] Olba
    What's the matter, Emilia?
[17:13] Emi
    Sorry, I'm going to skip
    the meeting. I don't feel well.
[17:18] Emi
    I'll fight the strongest enemy myself.
    That's all you want, right?
[17:22] Eight Scarves Soldier 1
    Lady Emilia?
[17:31] Emi
    What's wrong with me?!
[17:34] Emi
    No matter what, he's my...
    He's my father's...
[17:42] (Flashback) Maou
    I'll show you a whole new world.
[17:45] Emi
    He's my enemy... so why?
[17:48] Emi
    It's not right.
[17:50] Emi
    I hate this. Why?!
[17:53] Emi
    Why are you coming so deep into my heart?!
[17:56] Emi
    Screw you!
[17:58] Alas Ramus
    Mama, Papa will come!
[18:01] Alas Ramus
    He can pat us on the head! 'Kay?
[18:04] Emi
    Right... He'll come.
[18:13] Emi
    I don't know! I don't know
    what to do anymore.
[18:18] Emi
    Satan... Satan, help me!
[18:24] Emi
    Eme, Al, I'm sorry...
[18:28] Emi
    Dad, I'm sorry!
[18:31] Emi
    I can't fight alone anymore!
[18:41] Alas Ramus
    Mama...
[18:43] Emi
    I'm sorry, Alas Ramus.
[18:46] Emi
    But it looks like I've hit my limit...
[18:54] Alas Ramus
    I was all alone, too.
[18:58] Alas Ramus
    But now I'm with you, Mama.
[19:01] Alas Ramus
    And Papa.
[19:03] Alas Ramus
    And Chi-sis, Alciel, Suzu-sis,
    Lucifer, Eme-sis...
[19:09] Alas Ramus
    They're all with you.
[19:11] Alas Ramus
    Acieth, too.
[19:14] Emi
    Alas Ramus?
[19:16] Alas Ramus
    So it's okay! We'll be with them again soon!
[19:22] Emi
    Yes, you're right.
[19:25] Emi
    We were all together, weren't we?
[19:30] Emi
    But it's too late.
[19:32] Emi
    I let a lot of demons die by obeying Olba.
[19:38] Emi
    I doubt the Devil and Alciel will forgive me.
[19:42] Eight Scarves Soldier 2
    Lady Emilia, I apologize
    for interrupting while you're unwell.
[19:49] Eight Scarves Soldier 2
    She has arrived.
[19:51] Olba
    There you are, Emilia.
[19:53] Emi
    I hear we received a letter from Alciel.
[19:55] Emi
    May I see it?
[19:57] Eight Scarves Soldier 3
    Please be careful.
[19:59] Eight Scarves Soldier 3
    It's written in a mysterious language—
    it may be a curse.
[20:05] Emi
    I don't think this is a curse.
[20:08] Olba
    What does it say, then?
[20:10] Emi
    You can't read this, Olba?
[20:13] Olba
    I'm well aware it's
    in the other world's "kanji."
[20:16] Olba
    But all I can make out is "chilled,"
[20:19] Olba
    the kanji for "luggage,"
[20:21] Olba
    and an idiom expressing a desire for revenge.
[20:25] Olba
    What does it say?!
[20:27] Emi
    I don't really understand it myself.
[20:30] Emi
    It says, "I vow to pay you back
    for the hiyayakko and ginger bud."
[20:34] Olba
    Hiyayakko? Ginger bud?
[20:36] Emi
    They're foods. Hiyayakko is chilled tofu.
[20:39] Emi
    It's white and jiggly, and it
     doesn't have much flavor.
[20:42] Emi
    A ginger bud is kind of a reddish purple bulb,
[20:45] Emi
    and it's really bitter when you chew it.
[20:47] Eight Scarves Soldier 4
    They sound like demonic ingredients.
[20:50] Emi
    They're tasty! If you slice the ginger
    and put it on... chilled tofu...
[21:03] Emi
    It's the Devil who's coming to pay me back.
[21:06] Olba
    What's the matter, Emilia?
[21:08] Emi
    Let's go to Heavensky at once.
[21:10] Olba
    Excuse me?
[21:12] Emi
    It's a code. Alciel is telling us to
    withdraw our troops if we want to survive.
[21:16] Olba
    What?! Could that be a bluff?
[21:19] Emi
    No. Alciel can use chilled tofu and ginger
    to gain a power far surpassing Satan's.
[21:25] Olba
    U-Unbelievable!
[21:27] Emi
    We have to hurry, or it'll be too late.
[21:30] Olba
    Very well.
[21:34] Emilia
    I guess he's not just some guy
[21:36] Emilia
    who tries to buy multiple
    "one per person" discount egg packs.
[21:43] Emilia
    The Devil is coming. For me.
[21:47] Emilia
    I have to do what I can until then.
[21:50] Alas Ramus
    Better, Mama?
[21:53] Emilia
    Yes, somehow I'm starting to feel better.
[21:58] Emilia
    He probably won't forgive what I've done,
[22:02] Emilia
    and this time we'll probably
    end up utter enemies.
[22:05] Emilia
    But still...
