[00:09] ---
    So, how does it feel to be helpless
    against the flames consuming you?
[00:13] ---
    Sire.
[00:14] ---
    Your flesh, your entrails--
    I'll devour you down to the very bone
[00:19] ---
    to feed my own ambition!
[00:21] ---
    Sire, listen to me...
[00:24] ---
    Come, the feast begins! The first
    sacrifice offered to me shall be--
[00:29] ---
    --you!
[00:30] ---
    Sire!
[00:32] ---
    What, Ashiya?
[00:34] ---
    Please dine a bit more quietly.
[00:38] ---
    You're disturbing the people around us.
[00:42] ---
    Sorry. I got a little overexcited.
[00:45] ---
    Gotta say, though, beef
    intestines are really good!
[00:48] ---
    For the first time I understand those
    demons who say entrails are tasty!
[00:52] ---
    How nice to hear, Sire.
[00:55] ---
    But please eat your vegetables, too.
    Or your diet will be unbalanced.
[01:00] ---
    Lighten up. We're celebrating my promotion here.
[01:04] ---
    Oh, hey, maybe we should buy
    dinner for Urushihara on our way home.
[01:08] ---
    I bet they have yakiniku takeout boxes.
[01:10] ---
    Not necessary.
[01:11] ---
    Apparently he learned "online shopping"
    recently, and he's wrecking our budget.
[01:19] ---
    I ask you to bring down
    the hammer on him, Sire.
[01:34] ---
    Kono shunkan, kono basho ga sutaato
[01:38] ---

    The Devil Climbs the Stairway to School
[03:00] ---
    You say Olba is missing?
[03:03] ---
    Yes. It seems the hero Emilia
    is still alive in the other world.
[03:07] ---
    What?
[03:09] ---
    That's not all.
[03:11] ---
    The Devil appears to be as well.
[03:13] ---
    Th-The Devil, too?!
[03:15] ---
    Olba said that he faded away
    along with the Better Half
[03:18] ---
    after a fierce battle at the Devil's Castle.
[03:22] ---
    A downright lie.
[03:24] ---
    I believe Father Olba was also
    behind Emerada and Albert's capture.
[03:32] ---
    What?
[03:35] ---
    We've confirmed that Emerada has
    returned to the Holy Saint Aire Empire.
[03:40] ---
    I received a report that she's spreading word
[03:44] ---
    of Emilia's survival and Father Olba's apostasy.
[03:47] ---
    A-Apostasy? A high priest,
    branded an apostate?!
[03:50] ---
    Father Robertio, please stay calm!
[03:53] ---
    Try not to make such shocking reports here.
[03:55] ---
    But it is the truth.
[03:57] ---
    We can't ignore the influence it will have
[03:59] ---
    for Saint Aire's Court Celestialist to
    formally acknowledge Emilia's survival.
[04:06] ---
    And it contradicts the Church's
    official pronouncement of her death.
[04:11] ---
    What shall we do, Father?
[04:12] ---
    Wh-What do you mean?
[04:14] ---
    Acknowledge that a high priest turned apostate,
[04:18] ---
    or liquidate all three:
    Emerada, Albert, and Emilia?
[04:22] ---
    That's absurd!
[04:24] ---
    Aren't you the ones who have
    been instructing the Inquisition
[04:29] ---
    to commit such absurdities?
[04:32] ---
    Then what about you? What would you do?
[04:39] ---
    We're home!
[04:41] ---
    You're late! I'm hungry!
[04:43] ---
    How about you be polite and
    say "Welcome home, Master"?
[04:47] ---
    It's thanks to His Majesty's benevolence
    that you're allowed to live here.
[04:51] ---
    Here, present for you.
[04:53] ---
    Hey! I thought you two went to a yakiniku place!
[04:56] ---
    What's the big idea, bringing me
    a pork bowl from Sugiya?!
[04:59] ---
    We prepared that computer and
    internet environment for you.
[05:03] ---
    How much do you think
    that cost? So don't complain.
[05:06] ---
    I can't eat the computer!
[05:08] ---
    Then gather information on existing
    magic in this world for His Majesty.
[05:13] ---
    Depending your success,
[05:15] ---
    I'll upgrade you to a large-sized
    pork bowl, or even a jumbo-sized one.
[05:19] ---
    Jumbo pork is all I get for success?!
[05:21] ---
    Hey, Urushihara, are you honestly
    good at this computer stuff?
[05:26] ---
    If you don't believe me,
    I'll show you my skills right now.
[05:34] ---
    Come on, it's almost the end of my shift...
[05:37] ---
    Thank you for calling the
    Docodemo Customer Service Center.
[05:41] ---
    My name is Yusa--
[05:42] ---
    Wow, you got through!
    You're right, Urushihara, you're amazing!
[05:46] ---
    Huh?
[05:47] ---
    Hey, Emi! Can you hear us?
[05:48] ---
    M-Maou...
[05:50] ---
    What do you think you're doing?
    I'm working right now!
[05:54] ---
    Aw, don't be mad. This is a hacking experiment.
[05:57] ---
    Urushihara said he could do all
    kinds of stuff if he had a computer,
[06:00] ---
    so I made my first big
    credit card purchase on installment.
[06:04] ---
    I have several questions right now,
    but first off, who's Urushihara?!
[06:08] ---
    That's Lucifer.
[06:09] ---
    Hey! What do you mean, Lucifer?!
    Don't tell me he's in the Devil's Castle with--
[06:13] ---
    Bye! Sorry for interrupting.
[06:19] ---
    Thank you very much!
[06:21] ---
    You're amazing, Mr. Maou!
[06:24] ---
    I can't believe you're already
    shift manager after less than a year!
[06:28] ---
    Really? Well, I'm just a substitute for
    the boss when she isn't here, though.
[06:32] ---
    But doesn't it mean even if it's only
    a couple of people for a limited time,
[06:37] ---
    you get to rule over humans?
[06:39] ---
    I won't allow it.
[06:41] ---
    Emi?!
[06:42] ---
    Welcome to MgRonald's!
[06:44] ---
    I need to talk to you.
[06:46] ---
    As you can see, I'm working. Let it wait.
[06:48] ---
    You started it with your weird
    phone call while I was working.
[06:52] ---
    U-Um, may I interest you in some
    jalapeño fries? They're our featured item!
[06:59] ---
    This thing doesn't really have
    the specs for online gaming...
[07:03] ---
    Blah, I wanna play a game.
[07:08] ---
    Scary Spots in the Tokyo Suburbs!!
    Shibuya Edition
[07:08] ---
    Isn't this...?
[07:10] ---
    "Cappadocia"...
[07:12] ---
    "It is not impossible that
    this site is the former home
[07:15] ---
    of a lower-level demon who fell to Earth."
[07:19] ---
    If that's true, we may be able
    to replenish our magic there...
[07:23] ---
    But who knows how many months' worth
    of His Majesty's wages it would take
[07:26] ---
    to fund a trip to Turkey?
[07:31] ---
    It's from the landlady?
[07:33] ---
    Good night!
[07:35] ---
    So what do you want, Emi?
[07:37] ---
    Like you don't know! What was
    with that phone call yesterday?!
[07:40] ---
    I already told you, that was Urushihara.
[07:43] ---
    And why is Lucifer "Urushihara" now?
[07:45] ---
    The police arrested Olba,
    after all. He's gotta lay low.
[07:50] ---
    For lack of a better option, I decided
    to put him up at my place for a while.
[07:54] ---
    Three men in that tiny place?
[07:54] ---
    Apartments for Rent
[07:56] ---
    Got a problem with that?!
[07:57] ---
    What choice do I have?
    I'm pretty much out of magic.
[08:02] ---
    We can't go back to Ente Isla even if we want to.
[08:04] ---
    Hmph! Well, I could go home any time I wanted.
[08:08] ---
    And I don't have to slave away
[08:10] ---
    looking for a source of celestial
    force to control the Gate.
[08:14] ---
    Then why don't you hurry up and go home?
[08:16] ---
    I-I'm a hero!
[08:18] ---
    As long as you're in Japan, I have
    a duty to stay and keep tabs on you!
[08:23] ---
    Man, what a pain.
[08:26] ---
    Yo, I'm home.
[08:29] ---
    Urushihara?!
[08:30] ---
    Hang in there! Who did this to you?!
[08:41] ---
    S-Sire...
[08:44] ---
    You mustn't... look at that...!
[08:52] ---
    A photo of the landlady in a swimsuit?
[08:54] ---
    Yes. She said she's visiting Hawaii,
[08:57] ---
    and she enclosed a photo of herself
    frolicking in the waves at Waikiki Beach...
[09:00] ---
    It's unbelievable!
[09:02] ---
    How could she show us that?!
    You gotta censor that stuff!
[09:06] ---
    You're pathetic. What kind of demon
    freaks out over something like that?
[09:10] ---
    Fine, you look, then!
[09:17] ---
    More importantly, Urushihara,
    have you gathered info on Earth's magic?
[09:21] ---
    Hey, you just pulled a fast one!
    You did, didn't you, Maou?!
[09:24] ---
    His Majesty certainly did not "pull a fast one."
[09:27] ---
    Sometimes a valiant retreat is called for.
[09:29] ---
    "Valiant retreat," my butt.
[09:32] ---
    But whatever.
    I just found something interesting.
[09:38] ---
    How does that qualify as
    information about magic?
[09:41] ---
    The magical spots in this world
[09:44] ---
    aren't all ancient ruins like
    the pyramids and Stonehenge.
[09:48] ---
    If you look, you can find
    a whole bunch right nearby.
[09:51] ---
    You can't find that info at the library, though.
[09:55] ---
    This might be the best candidate in the area.
[09:58] ---
    A sealed classroom?
[10:00] ---
    Yep. There's a disused classroom
    in this place's old schoolhouse,
[10:05] ---
    and supposedly every night
[10:06] ---
    you can hear whispers and laughter
    and footsteps echoing in there.
[10:10] ---
    If you ask me, there's
    probably a demon involved.
[10:24] ---
    Is this the school?
[10:26] ---
    It's cheerier than I expected.
    Do you think there's really a magical spot here?
[10:34] ---
    I don't really sense anything from out here...
[10:37] ---
    I believe it will be difficult for
    outsiders like us to get in, though.
[10:43] ---
    Mr. Maou!
[10:50] ---
    Miss Sasaki?!
[10:51] ---
    Huh, I thought I recognized the
    name of this school. So it's Chi's.
[10:56] ---
    Hey, Sasa-chii, is he the one from MgRonald's?
[10:59] ---
    Yes! It's Mr. Maou!
[11:02] ---
    Who's the other guy?
[11:03] ---
    Mr. Ashiya, his roommate.
[11:05] ---
    Roommate?!
[11:06] ---
    Two men living frugally in a little
    one-room apartment! Do they share a futon?!
[11:13] ---
    N-No, wrong idea!
    Kao, quit randomly imagining things!
[11:19] ---
    She seems to be enjoying her conversation...
    but what on Earth is it about?
[11:25] ---
    A sealed classroom?
[11:27] ---
    Yeah. I heard it's one of
    your school's "seven wonders."
[11:32] ---
    Sure, that story's famous.
[11:35] ---
    People say they hear monsters groaning,
[11:39] ---
    or see demons reflected on the windows...
[11:42] ---
    Oh! Was that you, Mr. Maou?
[11:45] ---
    No, it wasn't.
[11:47] ---
    But it might have something to do with Ente Isla,
[11:52] ---
    so I thought I'd check it out.
[11:54] ---
    Understood, Mr. Maou!
    In that case, leave it to me!
[12:10] ---
    The old schoolhouse is this way!
[12:12] ---
    But why did that room become
    the "sealed classroom"?
[12:15] ---
    This is just what I've heard,
    but they say that way before I was born,
[12:19] ---
    a student disappeared from it,
    almost like he was spirited away,
[12:25] ---
    and it's never been used since.
[12:28] ---
    Hey, want to take a little
    break now and have a snack?
[12:31] ---
    Miss, this isn't a field trip.
[12:33] ---
    You seem like you're having fun, Chi.
[12:35] ---
    Sure, because at work or not,
    I'm always the one getting your help.
[12:41] ---
    So I'm happy that I can help you!
[12:45] ---
    You're not scared?
[12:46] ---
    Not if you're with me...
[12:49] ---
    Oh. So, this "seven wonders" thing.
    What are the other six?
[12:57] ---
    Um...
[12:59] ---
    The north stairway with a different
    number of steps going up than going down.
[13:04] ---
    The statue of Kinjiro Ninomiya
    that walks around covered in blood.
[13:08] ---
    The sculpture in the art room that
    gets a fold in its eyelid at three a.m.
[13:13] ---
    The dictionary in the library where
    the words for "curse" are stained red.
[13:17] ---
    The piano in the music room where B
    sometimes won't play. B for blood...
[13:25] ---
    Those plus the sealed classroom only make six...
[13:28] ---
    Nobody knows the seventh one.
[13:31] ---
    Because if someone learns all seven, then...
[13:35] ---
    Then...?
[13:36] ---
    Th-Then what?
[13:38] ---
    He gets a call on his cell from
    the afterworld, and it steals his soul!
[13:44] ---
    But isn't that just unreasonable?!
[13:46] ---
    Why would just finding out get your soul stolen?!
[13:49] ---
    What if it was a coincidence that you found out?!
[13:51] ---
    Sire, please calm down.
[13:53] ---
    Think about it: why would
    the story about this room,
[13:56] ---
    which existed long before Miss Sasaki
    was born, involve a cell phone?
[14:01] ---
    Good point?!
[14:04] ---
    Urushihara
[14:06] ---
    What the hell, Urushihara?! Don't startle me!
[14:08] ---
    What are you shouting for?
[14:10] ---
    Well? Did you make it to the sealed room?
[14:12] ---
    Not yet! Why are you even calling?!
[14:15] ---
    Just FYI, I think that room is probably
    somewhere the Gate once opened in.
[14:22] ---
    The Gate?
[14:23] ---
    Yeah. Once the Gate opens someplace,
    magnetic fields there destabilize
[14:28] ---
    and it's easier for the Gate to open there again.
[14:30] ---
    Then the story about the
    student getting spirited away...
[14:34] ---
    It's highly likely he was sucked into the Gate.
[14:37] ---
    Anyway, if we can manage to
    be there next time it opens,
[14:42] ---
    maybe we can get some magic through it.
[14:45] ---
    Lemme know when you get there. Bye.
[14:48] ---
    That Urushihara... How did he find out so much?
[14:53] ---
    The internet is really something!
[14:59] ---
    You guys heard that sound, right?
[15:01] ---
    A guard, perhaps?
[15:02] ---
    They should all have left by now.
[15:06] ---
    So, a demon who came through
    the Gate from another world?
[15:09] ---
    Knowing that ahead of time
    means it ain't scary. Bring it on!
[15:12] ---
    Do you have enough magic left to fight, Sire?
[15:15] ---
    If worst comes to worst, use this.
[15:17] ---
    What's that?
[15:18] ---
    A talisman. It's already proven
    effective against demons like us.
[15:22] ---
    Isn't that the landlady's letter?
[15:28] ---
    Footsteps...
[15:39] ---
    What do you mean by bringing
    a high school girl here after dark?
[15:43] ---
    Emi?!
[15:46] ---
    I see, so you were plotting to get
    magic from that sealed classroom.
[15:52] ---
    More like, what are *you
    *doing at a school this late?
[15:55] ---
    Is the hero trespassing?
[15:57] ---
    U-Um, I'm sorry, but you're not
    allowed to wear shoes in the building.
[16:01] ---
    Would you change into these?
[16:04] ---
    I was tailing you and I saw you
    sneaking into a school after hours,
[16:09] ---
    so I came in after you, that's all.
[16:11] ---
    Anyway, I'm coming with you.
    I can't just roll over and let you get more mag--
[16:20] ---
    Argh, Maou!
[16:23] ---
    Mr. Maou, is it really okay
    to leave Miss Yusa behind?
[16:27] ---
    Totally. She's nothing but trouble.
[16:30] ---
    Hold right there, Maou!
[16:33] ---
    Ugh, what a pain!
[16:33] ---
    Don't you run from me! I'll kick you!
[16:36] ---
    Maou! Don't you run from me! I'll kick you!
[16:45] ---
    What's wrong, Chi?
[16:46] ---
    I-It's nothing.
[16:55] ---
    There you are, monster!
[17:04] ---
    Okay!
[17:05] ---
    Not okay, you freakin' moron!
[17:07] ---
    Oh, Miss Yusa, that's called an
    "anatomical model," and it's just a doll!
[17:11] ---
    Huh?!
[17:12] ---
    I'd wager Emilia is the only
    hero in the whole universe
[17:15] ---
    to ever chop up an anatomical
    model with a sacred sword.
[17:19] ---
    Do normal heroes bust out their
    sacred swords and attack like that?!
[17:22] ---
    Do something about this, woman.
[17:24] ---
    These things've gotta be expensive.
    Well, don't come to me for help.
[17:28] ---
    Th-They'll never know if we don't say anything.
[17:32] ---
    But of course that's out of the question, right?
[17:34] ---
    I-It's your fault for sneaking
    in here to begin with!
[17:38] ---
    You're a sore loser, Emilia.
[17:41] ---
    Use your magic to fix it!
[17:43] ---
    Why should I have to use my
    precious magic to cover your butt?
[17:48] ---
    This model only has one heart!
[17:51] ---
    Mr. Ashiya, I don't know about demons,
    but humans only ever have one!
[17:57] ---
    So, the sealed classroom is at
    the other end of this passageway.
[18:00] ---
    Look, just keep the sacred sword sheathed.
[18:02] ---
    Don't take it out until I say.
[18:04] ---
    I don't take orders from you.
[18:07] ---
    That's the old schoolhouse there.
[18:09] ---
    The sealed classroom is on the
    third floor, all the way up the stairs.
[18:14] ---
    Okay. Let's go.
[18:25] ---
    This is the sealed classroom...
[18:28] ---
    I don't remember it being boarded up, though...
[18:32] ---
    I told you, put the sword away!
[18:35] ---
    What is it, Mr. Ashiya?
[18:38] ---
    There are signs of someone
    using this door recently.
[18:45] ---
    They're not attached...
[18:47] ---
    So this door wasn't sealed after all?
[19:01] ---
    It feels strangely lived-in.
[19:04] ---
    It certainly doesn't look like
    it's been sealed shut for years.
[19:10] ---
    What's that?
[19:12] ---
    A game system?
[19:16] ---
    Urushihara
[19:18] ---
    What now, Urushihara?!
[19:20] ---
    Are you there yet?
[19:22] ---
    We just got here.
[19:24] ---
    What's with you? Quit calling every
    five seconds! You're startling me!
[19:28] ---
    Do you see anything on the floor?
[19:30] ---
    Like, say... a game system?
[19:33] ---
    Yep, it's here. We have it right now.
[19:36] ---
    So I was right, that was where it got left.
[19:39] ---
    You were "right"?
[19:40] ---
    Huh?
[19:41] ---
    Oh, no, nothing!
[19:44] ---
    Would you mind bringing that home for me?
[19:46] ---
    Urushihara. Don't tell me you...
[19:49] ---
    Hmm? What?
[19:50] ---
    You said this was an easy
    place for the Gate to open.
[19:53] ---
    Did you and Olba open the
    Gate here to come to Japan?
[19:57] ---
    Yeah, we did. Didn't I mention that?
[19:59] ---
    No, you did not!
[20:00] ---
    So, I lived there with Olba for a while,
[20:03] ---
    and I accidentally left the
    game I was playing there...
[20:07] ---
    Urushihara. You better not have
    just sent us to bring back your game.
[20:11] ---
    Of course not!
[20:13] ---
    I thought maybe the Gate opened again
    and someone else came through, you know?
[20:17] ---
    So, did you find anything?!
    If not, hurry back! I'm hungry!
[20:21] ---
    U-Um, a pork bowl would be totally fine!
[20:25] ---
    Who does that Urushihara think he is?!
[20:28] ---
    Why don't we sell this for cash at BookOn?
[20:32] ---
    It would supplement our living expenses.
[20:33] ---
    How miserly are you?
[20:38] ---
    Udon
[20:39] ---
    Udon?
[20:45] ---
    Dang it, yesterday was a waste of effort!
[20:57] ---
    Oh, Mr. Maou! I found that
    on the floor of the science--
[21:04] ---
    Mr. Maou?! Wake up, Mr. Maou!
[21:11] ---
    Give that back! It belongs to me!
[21:13] ---
    Only one hour of gaming per day!
    You just be glad it didn't get sold at BookOn!
[21:30] ---
    Did somebody move in?
[21:38] ---
    Watch out!
[21:43] ---
    A-Are you okay?
[21:45] ---
    Sire! Are you all right?!
[21:48] ---
    Th-This girl just sort of
    fell on me all of a sudden...
[21:52] ---
    Carelessness is... the greatest enemy...
[21:55] ---
    What?!
