**[00:02] Varvatos**
*I want to know defeat.*
**[00:05] Varvatos**
*The people call me the Demon Lord,*
**[00:08] Varvatos**
* and even my former friend*
* no longer views me as human.*
**[00:13] Varvatos**
*That's why I've begun to long for defeat.*
**[00:19] Varvatos**
* Because they should*
* recognize me as a fellow human*
**[00:21] Varvatos**
*once they see me miserably defeated.*
**[00:25] Varvatos**
* However, the enemies capable*
* of besting me are all gone now,*
**[00:29] Varvatos**
*so, apparently, my life has reached its peak.*
**[00:50] Varvatos**
* However, perhaps I may be granted*
* a different fate in my next life.*
**[01:02] Varvatos**
*So, I shall reincarnate.*
***SIGN*** The Greatest Demon Lord
Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody
**[01:15] Jack**
As we celebrate the birthday
of my son, Ard Meteor...
**[01:20] Carla**
We are grateful for the blessing
**[01:22] Carla**
of the Ancestral Demon Lord Varvatos
and Her Majesty the Queen.
**[01:26] Jack&Carla**
Happy birthday, Ard!
**[01:29] Jack**
I know you're ten now,
**[01:31] Jack**
but it feels like you
were just born yesterday.
**[01:33] Carla**
Time sure flies by.
**[01:36] Carla**
We're so happy to have you as our son, Ard.
**[01:40] Ard**
Thank you so much, Father, Mother.
**[01:43] Jack**
You may be my son, but you've
got your mother's good looks.
**[01:47] Carla**
My!
**[01:48] Carla**
He has your talent for both literary
and martial arts, though, Jack.
**[01:52] Jack**
No, no, I'm not that talented.
**[01:53] Ard**
* That was how I, the man*
* formerly known as the Demon Lord,*
**[01:56] Ard**
* came to live in a completely*
* ordinary country town.*
**[01:56] Jack**
Though he is cute like his mother.
**[01:59] Ard**
*I was reborn as Ard Meteor, the only son*
**[02:01] Ard**
* of a completely average couple*
* that was known to get along well.*
**[02:03] Carla**
Oh, Jack!
**[02:08] Ard**
* Fortunately or not, the level*
* of education and magic in this world*
**[02:12] Ard**
*had declined quite a bit since my time.*
**[02:17] Ard**
*I was once again blessed*
**[02:19] Ard**
*with decent health, stamina, and athleticism,*
**[02:22] Ard**
* so it didn't take much effort*
* to become skilled in martial arts.*
**[02:26] Jack**
So, Ard,
**[02:28] Carla**
what do you plan to do now?
**[02:30] Jack**
You're ten now, which is about the time
most kids rebel against their parents.
**[02:33] Carla**
And it's also about time you start thinking
about your dreams and your future.
**[02:38] Ard**
Dreams, huh?
**[02:42] Ard**
*That's right.*
**[02:42] Ard**
*I have a dream, an ambition!*
**[02:45] Ard**
* It's safe to say that in the ten years*
* since I've reincarnated,*
**[02:47] Ard**
* I've matured into a man both*
* intellectually and physically*
**[02:51] Ard**
*worth forging bonds of friendship with!*
**[02:54] Ard**
* So I want to find a person*
* who does not look at me with fear*
**[02:58] Ard**
*and forge a friendship of equals!*
**[03:00] KidA**
Yay! I win!
**[03:02] KidB**
Wha? Enough already.
**[03:03] KidA**
That was a close one, though, huh?
**[03:06] KidC**
How are you so good at this?
**[03:07] KidB**
I'm done playing this.
**[03:08] Ard**
*Come talk to me!*
**[03:09] KidA**
Come one, we're just getting started!
**[03:10] Ard**
* In my past life,*
* it was impossible for others*
**[03:12] KidB**
You'll just win again.
**[03:13] Ard**
*to speak directly to the Demon Lord.*
**[03:15] Ard**
* Yet my circumstances*
* and the times have changed,*
**[03:15] KidA**
Don't be a spoilsport. Just play!
**[03:18] Ard**
*so now I'm just a typical villager.*
**[03:20] Ard**
* You don't need to hold back.*
* Now, come!*
**[03:21] KidC**
Then who should start?
**[03:23] Ard**
*Come talk to me as much you like!*
**[03:25] KidC**
I want to do it, too.
**[03:27] KidA**
Hey, look.
**[03:30] KidB**
What's with him?
**[03:33] KidA**
He's kind of scary.
**[03:35] KidB**
Let's go.
**[03:36] Kids**
Yeah.
**[03:39] Ard**
I waited without turning
anyone away, so why?!
**[03:42] Ard**
Why do they leave?!
**[03:44] Ard**
* Perhaps even after reincarnating,*
* there's still some unconcealable majesty*
**[03:48] Ard**
* interfering with their subconscious*
* and blocking their approach?*
**[03:53] Ard**
In that case, I must move forward!
**[03:55] Ard**
I should take action instead of waiting!
**[04:04] Ard**
*Wh-What is this pressure I'm feeling?*
**[04:06] Ard**
*Impossible!*
**[04:07] Ard**
* I never bore even a shred of fear*
* during my final battle with the gods!*
**[04:11] Ard**
*Yet now I...*
**[04:13] Ard**
*have stomach pain from anxiety?!*
**[04:26] Ard**
* They're impressive,*
* driving me into such a corner!*
**[04:29] Ard**
* Yet I am still the man once*
* renowned as the Demon Lord!*
**[04:33] Ard**
*I cannot run away from such a meager threat!*
**[04:38] Ard**
Y-You there!
**[04:40] Ard**
Face me!
**[04:43] Ard**
Y-You have responded to my call!
**[04:46] Ard**
Y-You have my praise!
**[04:49] Ard**
Y-Y-You all shall, um... Uh...
**[04:54] GirlA**
Yes?
**[04:55] Ard**
Um, well... Right.
**[05:00] Ard**
B-Be my friend, and I shall
grant you half of the world!
**[05:05] Ard**
*I said it! I said it!*
**[05:09] Ard**
Wha? Huh, hold on...
**[05:18] Ard**
*I am Demon Lord Varvatos.*
**[05:21] Ard**
*I have usurped countless nations,*
**[05:23] Ard**
* buried numerous heroes,*
* and annihilated the gods.*
**[05:27] Ard**
* Yet now I cannot even get human*
* children to do what I want.*
**[05:34] Ard**
Why?! Why will they not obey my commands?!
**[05:38] Ard**
I made the effort to speak to them,
**[05:40] Ard**
and I even offered them a deal!
**[05:44] Ard**
What more could they possibly want?!
**[05:47] Ard**
I don't understand it at all!
**[05:56] Ard**
I guess I should stop for now,
before I alter the local ecosystem.
**[06:02] Ard**
But still... What else can I possibly do?
**[06:13] Weiss**
What's the matter, Ardy?
**[06:16] Weiss**
You seem kind of down, you know?
**[06:20] Weiss**
Don't tell me you've forgotten
the face of the mayor.
**[06:25] Ard**
Sir Olhyde.
**[06:30] Weiss**
Friends, huh?
**[06:32] Ard**
What am I supposed to do
to build up friendships?
**[06:37] Ard**
I've tested every stratagem I could devise,
**[06:40] Ard**
and I feel like I'm out of options.
**[06:43] Weiss**
Ardy, let me teach you a very simple method.
**[06:46] Ard**
Huh?! What kind of spell is it?!
**[06:49] Ard**
Or is it some advanced political strategy?!
**[06:51] Weiss**
It's neither.
**[06:53] Weiss**
No matter when or who you interact with,
**[06:56] Weiss**
just remember to be kind and respectful.
**[07:01] Weiss**
Do that, and you'll make
plenty of friends naturally.
**[07:06] Ard**
Kind and respectful...
**[07:09] Ard**
I see.
**[07:11] Ard**
Sir Olhyde, you're amazing!
**[07:13] Weiss**
So, Ardy, speaking of friends, my daughter—
**[07:17] Ard**
I'll follow your advice
and go implement it at once!
**[07:26] Jack**
Our boy...
**[07:28] Carla**
He does have an odd
strangeness to him sometimes.
**[07:32] Jack**
By the way, Weiss, about what you said...
**[07:36] Weiss**
Yes, handling national
politics is one thing,
**[07:40] Weiss**
but when it comes to these sorts
of matters, I'm terribly useless.
**[07:45] Carla**
I understand your concern.
It's the same for us.
**[07:50] Ard**
If I may humbly confess, I am Ard Meteor,
**[07:52] Ard**
and would you perhaps be
so kind as to play with me?
**[08:01] Ard**
Though it may be terribly rude of me,
**[08:03] Ard**
I would find it most fortunate
to make the acquaintance
**[08:06] Ard**
of such fair ladies as yourselves.
**[08:14] Ard**
Perhaps I should just destroy
this entire world.
**[08:26] Ard**
No, calm down.
**[08:27] Ard**
Calm down, Ard Meteor.
**[08:30] Ard**
You already learned in your past life
**[08:33] Ard**
that destruction and chaos
will give rise to nothing.
**[08:38] Ard**
Shoot, I was venting my anger again.
**[08:41] Ireena**
Curse you!
**[08:43] Ireena**
I hate, hate, hate you!
**[08:44] Ireena**
I hate you!
**[08:46] Ard**
That is the voice of a tender young girl!
**[08:55] Ard**
What in the world?
**[09:04] Ireena**
Incandescence, answer my call!
**[09:05] Ireena**
Use my fierce rage to scorch all to ash!
**[09:15] Ard**
What's going on here?
**[09:17] Ard**
Her opponent is a mere Ancient Wolf.
**[09:19] Ard**
That's not the kind of monster
to give one trouble.
**[09:25] Ard**
Is she just venting frustration?
**[09:28] Weiss**
My daughter's completely closed herself off,
**[09:30] Weiss**
thanks to the bullying
and gossip from back then.
**[09:34] Weiss**
She won't even talk to me, her father.
**[09:38] Carla**
I can understand why she would
want to shut herself away, though.
**[09:41] Carla**
There's nothing she can do about her lineage.
**[09:45] Jack**
There are far fewer eyes out here
than in the royal capital.
**[09:48] Jack**
It was the right decision to return here.
**[09:51] Weiss**
I certainly hope so.
**[09:55] Ireena**
O Thunder come to my hand!
**[09:57] Ireena**
O Lightning! Rain down on those before me!
**[10:16] Ard**
Lydia?
**[10:20] Ard**
S-Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
**[10:26] Ireena**
What do you want?
**[10:29] Ard**
Uh, well...
**[10:31] Ard**
I-I witnessed the way you fought earlier!
**[10:34] Ard**
It was truly magnificent!
**[10:36] Ard**
There are very few
who are capable of that at your age!
**[10:41] Ard**
*Shoot!*
**[10:41] Ard**
* Is she the type who doesn't*
* like showing off her power?*
**[10:45] Ard**
* My blatant compliments*
* are having the opposite effect!*
**[10:48] Ard**
*In that case...*
**[10:50] Ard**
I-If I may be so bold as to say,
**[10:53] Ard**
I believe you still have much room
to grow and hone your might.
**[11:00] Ard**
*Shoot, I went too far!*
**[11:02] Ard**
*Praising her is no good!*
**[11:04] Ard**
*Critiquing her is no good either!*
**[11:05] Ard**
*What am I supposed to do?!*
**[11:09] Ard**
If you would be so inclined,
**[11:11] Ard**
perhaps, you might become my friend?
**[11:16] Ard**
* Shoot! I was planning to slowly*
* close the distance between us,*
**[11:19] Ard**
*but I jumped right into it!*
**[11:21] Ard**
*I'm done for.*
**[11:25] Ireena**
Friend?
**[11:27] Ard**
*Wait...*
**[11:29] Ard**
*I got my first response from someone!*
**[11:31] Ard**
*Maybe there's actually a chance here?!*
**[11:34] Ard**
*Did being direct prove fortuitous?!*
**[11:37] Ard**
Yes! Friends!
**[11:39] Ard**
I think the two of us are very similar.
**[11:42] Ard**
I'm sure we can forge
a wonderful relationship
**[11:44] Ard**
where we understand each other
and drive each other to new heights.
**[11:47] Ard**
So...
**[11:48] Ireena**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[11:52] Ireena**
Understand each other?
**[11:54] Ireena**
That's impossible.
**[11:56] Ireena**
You don't know the first thing about me!
**[12:03] Ard**
Tears? Why?
**[12:08] Weiss**
I hope you'll continue
to give me your support.
**[12:11] Carla**
Yes.
**[12:12] Jack**
Of course.
**[12:13] Ireena**
Papa!
**[12:18] Ireena**
I hate this dumb countryside!
**[12:20] Weiss**
Ireena? Why do you hate it?
**[12:23] Ard**
Sir Olhyde!
**[12:25] Ard**
I followed your advice...
**[12:34] Ard**
*Is this fate?!*
**[12:39] Ireena**
No!
**[12:40] Ard**
Hello, Miss Ireena!
**[12:42] Ard**
How are you faring this fine day?
**[12:45] Ireena**
I don't recall ever telling you my name!
**[12:47] Ard**
I learned your name from your father.
**[12:50] Ard**
Still, what a small world this is!
**[12:52] Ard**
To think you might be the daughter of
Sir Olhyde, my own parents' best friend!
**[12:57] Ard**
What do you say?
**[12:58] Ard**
Why don't we follow our
parents' example and be friends?
**[13:01] Ireena**
Creep!
**[13:03] Ard**
* I was diligent about*
* acting kind and respectful.*
**[13:07] Ard**
* That was supposed to make*
* friendship blossom one day.*
**[13:11] Ard**
Happy birthday, Miss Ireena.
**[13:14] Ard**
I got you a bouquet
of the roses you love, Miss Ireena.
**[13:18] Ireena**
How do you even know what I like?
**[13:20] Ard**
Why, I know everything about you.
**[13:23] Ard**
Even how many moles you have.
**[13:29] Ireena**
Creep!
**[13:31] Ard**
*This is my chance for us to be friends!*
**[13:34] Ard**
*I'm not letting this opportunity escape!*
**[13:50] Ireena**
What are you doing out here?!
**[13:53] Ard**
I know that you come out here
to vent on monsters, Miss Ireena.
**[13:57] Ard**
So I came to pick you up.
**[14:08] Ard**
The moon is beautiful, Miss Ireena!
**[14:10] Ireena**
You're fast!
**[14:12] Ard**
Its clear glow is like a silver lake,
**[14:16] Ard**
and like the moon, you, too, are—
**[14:18] Ard**
no, you are even more
beautiful than any moon.
**[14:20] Ireena**
Creep!
**[14:24] Ard**
*I will never give up.*
**[14:29] Ard**
My current cheerful greeting strategy
isn't producing satisfactory results.
**[14:34] Ard**
It looks like using bribes and presents
will be challenging, too.
**[14:38] Ard**
I've tried using poems and music
to generate a nice mood, too,
**[14:41] Ard**
but she quickly runs away, so
results are slim there, too.
**[14:45] Ard**
What strategies do I have left?
**[14:47] Ard**
* I feel like this happened*
* before in my past life, too.*
**[14:50] Ard**
*I tried all manner of things to please them,*
**[14:52] Ard**
*and yet they still remained brusque...*
**[15:10] Ard**
*What's going on?*
**[15:25] Ard**
Father!
**[15:26] Jack**
Ard! Take shelter inside our home!
**[15:28] Ard**
What has led to all of this?
**[15:31] Jack**
The mountain's dungeon core is acting up!
**[15:34] Weiss**
Jack! Please help me!
**[15:36] Weiss**
Ireena's...
**[15:37] Weiss**
Ireena's in the mountains!
**[15:39] Jack**
What?!
**[15:39] Ard**
What did you say?
**[15:40] Weiss**
She went out this afternoon
and she hasn't come back!
**[15:44] Ard**
*It's my fault.*
**[15:46] Ard**
* Miss Ireena ran into the mountains*
* because I was chasing her!*
**[15:50] Ard**
Leave her to me, Sir Olhyde.
**[15:52] Ard**
I promise I'll bring
Miss Ireena back to you!
**[15:55] Weiss**
Ardy?!
**[15:56] Jack**
What are you saying?
**[15:58] Ard**
Farewell!
**[16:03] Weiss**
That's...!
**[16:07] BossGoblin**
Well, well, what a lovely lady we have here.
**[16:13] BossGoblin**
Are you surprised to find yourself
in unexpected danger?
**[16:17] BossGoblin**
You thought you could torment us,
but the tables have turned.
**[16:20] Ireena**
Wh-What do you mean the tables have turned?!
**[16:22] Ireena**
You're just some mere goblins!
**[16:24] BossGoblin**
Then, at least, put up a fight
and make this fun for us!
**[16:31] BossGoblin**
What's the matter,
not going to call for help?
**[16:34] BossGoblin**
You should call for your family or friends.
**[16:37] Ireena**
I have none.
**[16:40] (Flashback) Friend1**
Ireeny's a monster.
**[16:42] (Flashback) Friend2**
Ireeny's scary.
**[16:45] (Flashback) Friends**
Scary. Scary. Scary.
**[16:53] Ireena**
Go ahead and do as you please.
**[16:56] Ireena**
Life is no fun anyways.
**[16:58] BossGoblin**
What? How boring.
**[17:00] BossGoblin**
Have at her, men!
**[17:10] Ireena**
No. No.
**[17:15] Ireena**
Somebody save me!
**[17:30] Ireena**
A-Ard?!
**[17:32] Ard**
You finally said my name
for the first time, Miss Ireena.
**[17:36] Ireena**
Wh-Why?
**[17:39] Ard**
To save you, of course.
**[17:42] Ard**
However, I must say,
bullying the weak isn't nice.
**[17:45] Ard**
You should vent your feelings in moderation.
**[17:48] BossGoblin**
Bullying the weak?
**[17:50] Ireena**
No! Run away! They'll get you, too!
**[17:53] Ard**
Absolutely not.
**[18:03] BossGoblin**
Wh-What's this?!
**[18:05] Ard**
You will not lay a finger
on Miss Ireena, or me, either.
**[18:10] BossGoblin**
What do you think a mere
two humans can accomplish?!
**[18:15] Ard**
You should stop your futile efforts.
**[18:17] Ard**
If you run away now,
I'm willing to let you escape.
**[18:20] BossGoblin**
Get him!
**[18:38] Ard**
Now regret the decision you've made.
**[18:50] Jack**
That Ard still isn't back yet.
**[18:53] Weiss**
He'll be fine, I'm sure.
**[18:55] Carla**
Huh?
**[18:56] Weiss**
Ardy promised he would return with Ireena.
**[19:00] Weiss**
So Ireena will be safe.
**[19:04] Jack**
That reminds me, his flight magic...
**[19:07] Jack**
That wasn't a Lost Skill, was it?
**[19:14] Ard**
Miss Ireena, are you okay?
**[19:19] Ireena**
Wh-Why?
**[19:23] Ireena**
Why did you save me?
**[19:26] Ireena**
I wanted to die!
**[19:28] Ard**
Please don't say such sad things.
**[19:31] Ard**
I'm willing to listen—
**[19:32] Ireena**
No! There's no way you'd
understand how I feel!
**[19:36] Ireena**
I'm lonely and isolated...
**[19:38] Ireena**
It hurts, and it's so sad...
**[19:41] Ard**
Please stop there.
**[19:42] Ard**
I have no idea what circumstances
led you to feel that way, Miss Ireena,
**[19:48] Ard**
yet I do understand better than anyone else
**[19:51] Ard**
the suffering that isolation brings.
**[19:54] Ard**
That's why... I want to be your friend.
**[19:58] Ireena**
You're lying!
**[19:59] Ireena**
You'll just betray me one day, as well!
**[20:02] Ireena**
Just like my old friends did!
**[20:04] Ard**
I won't betray you.
**[20:06] Ard**
I'll never betray a friend ever again.
**[20:10] Ard**
Because long ago I did...
**[20:12] Ard**
end up betraying my very best friend.
**[20:16] Ard**
Which is why I would like
to forge an eternal friendship,
**[20:19] Ard**
without hurting you this time.
**[20:21] Ireena**
But... I'm sure I'm a meaner
person than they were.
**[20:26] Ard**
I don't mind.
**[20:27] Ireena**
I-I'm selfish, too, and not smart.
**[20:31] Ireena**
I'm boring to be around.
**[20:33] Ard**
That's not true.
**[20:35] Ard**
I actually find it quite enjoyable
to talk to you, Miss Ireena.
**[20:40] Ireena**
One day...
**[20:42] Ireena**
One day you'll come to hate me.
**[20:45] Ard**
Never.
**[20:47] Ireena**
B-But I actually—
**[20:55] Ireena**
Will you truly be my friend?
**[20:58] Ireena**
No matter what happens?
**[21:00] Ireena**
You won't ever betray me or come to hate me?
**[21:03] Ard**
I swear it on the name
of the Demon Lord Varvatos.
**[21:11] Ireena**
On the name of Varvatos...
**[21:13] Ard**
I hope we can be good friends
from now on, Miss Ireena.
**[21:16] Ireena**
S-Same, Ard.
**[21:20] Ard**
* And so it was that history's*
* greatest Demon Lord, Varvatos,*
**[21:23] Ard**
*reincarnated into a typical villager,*
**[21:26] Ard**
* gained a friend for life*
* and lived happily ever after.*
**[21:31] Ard**
*The end.*
***SIGN*** Several Years Later
**[21:39] Ireena**
Ard! Good morning!
**[21:43] Ard**
Ah, how adorable.
**[21:45] Ard**
My friend, you truly are an angel.
**[21:52] Ard**
Miss Ireena?!
**[21:54] Ard**
Wh-Wh-What are you doing, barging into
a man's room as a woman in her prime?!
**[21:59] Ard**
And snuggling up in
his bedding, too, no less!
**[22:02] Ireena**
Hey, Ard,
**[22:04] Ireena**
let's enroll in the Academy of Magic!
**[22:08] Ard**
Huh?

**[00:00] Golde**
Welcome to Laville National Academy of Magic.
**[00:04] Golde**
I'm the Headmaster, Golde.
***SIGN*** Laville National Academy of Magic Headmaster
Count Golde
**[00:07] Golde**
I see the two children of the three
great heroes have an exceptional aura.
**[00:14] Ireena**
You can tell, Headmaster?
**[00:16] Ireena**
I suppose that's a hexagon-class mage for you.
**[00:19] Ard**
* No way. What does this*
* headmaster think he's saying?*
**[00:22] Ard**
* Ireeny, the heiress to an honorable*
* barony, is one thing, but "two children"?*
**[00:27] Ard**
*I'm just a typical nobody.*
**[00:29] Golde**
I've heard tales of your great deeds, as well.
**[00:33] Golde**
They say the two of you cleared
out hundreds of goblins
**[00:36] Golde**
during the demon attack on Brave Nest.
**[00:40] Ard**
*That's right.*
**[00:41] Ard**
* We decided to tell everyone*
* that was our first team effort.*
**[00:46] Ard**
*Though exterminating all those goblins*
**[00:49] Ard**
*was easier than breathing.*
**[00:51] Golde**
In light of that,
**[00:52] Golde**
we're exempting you from the practical
entrance exam for our senior division,
**[00:56] Golde**
but please, at least, take the written exam.
**[00:58] Ard**
Of course, Headmaster.
**[01:00] Ard**
I'm quivering with excitement to
see just how advanced the exams
**[01:03] ---**
of such a renowned, prestigious school are.
**[01:05] Golde**
Just as I expected, Ardy.
**[01:07] Golde**
The saying, "A lion will
use all of its strength,
**[01:10] ---**
even when hunting a
rabbit," is a perfect fit.
**[01:13] Ard**
*Which of us is the lion in this case?*
**[01:15] Ard**
*The academy's entrance exam?*
**[01:17] Ard**
*Then I must prepare myself to face it!*
**[01:25] Ireena**
Ah!
**[01:26] Ireena**
There it is!
**[01:27] Ireena**
Ireena Litz de Olhyde!
**[01:29] Ireena**
I passed!
**[01:30] Ard**
*That's Ireeny for you.*
**[01:32] Ard**
*Now, how about me?*
**[01:34] Ireena**
Huh?
**[01:35] Ireena**
Ard, I can't find your name.
**[01:38] Ard**
*I thought something was off.*
**[01:41] Ard**
*Those questions were all too simple.*
**[01:43] Ard**
*So they were trick questions, then?*
**[01:44] Ard**
*Though if I'm the only one who didn't pass,*
**[01:47] Ard**
* then what's going to happen*
* to my youthful academy life?*
**[01:50] Ard**
*Will I have to part ways with Ireeny?*
**[01:52] Ard**
*I don't want to think about it!*
**[01:54] Ireena**
There!
**[01:55] Ireena**
I found it!
**[01:55] Ireena**
Your name!
**[02:00] Ard**
*A zero?!*
**[02:02] Ard**
*How did I pass with a score of 0?!*
**[02:04] Ard**
*Who is trying to ridicule me here?*
**[02:07] Golde**
Congratulations on passing!
**[02:09] Ard**
Headmaster?
**[02:10] Golde**
Ardy, your answers were marvelous!
**[02:13] Golde**
Truly perfect!
**[02:15] Golde**
Such genius!
**[02:16] Golde**
No, I fear they go beyond even genius!
**[02:18] Golde**
They're monstrous!
**[02:19] Golde**
Nay, divine!
**[02:21] Ard**
I'm sorry, Headmaster,
**[02:23] Ard**
but I'm not following what you're saying.
**[02:26] Ard**
It says that I scored a 0 on the exam?
**[02:29] Golde**
Yes, sorry,
**[02:30] Golde**
unfortunately I must say that
**[02:32] Golde**
all of the answers you gave
on your written exam were incorrect!
**[02:37] Ard**
All of them?
**[02:38] Golde**
However, that's only within the
standards of modern ideology.
**[02:42] Ard**
Huh?
**[02:42] Golde**
In short,
**[02:43] Golde**
Ardy, your answers far surpassed
what has been hypothesized.
**[02:49] Ireena**
Far surpassed?
**[02:50] Ard**
I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean.
**[02:53] Golde**
In other words,
**[02:54] Golde**
even hexagon-class mages struggle
to come up with such improvements
**[02:58] Golde**
to the magical energy amplification circuits
used to construct special class magic circles.
**[03:01] Golde**
Then your ideas to improve
magical techniques—
**[03:04] Ard**
Headmaster!
**[03:06] Golde**
Students!
**[03:07] Golde**
You are all fortunate!
**[03:09] Golde**
For you shall be able to study hard
alongside this young man, Ard Meteor!
**[03:16] Ard**
P-Please hold on!
**[03:18] Ard**
*He's calling me amazing, but...*
**[03:20] Golde**
He is a genius who has inherited the
blood of the Great Mage, Jack Meteor,
**[03:24] Golde**
and his wife Carla, the two who,
ten years ago, destroyed the
**[03:27] Golde**
resurrected Evil God and protected
the peace of our royal capital, Dycaeus!
**[03:32] Golde**
He is a great genius, indeed!
**[03:33] Golde**
Yes, he is the son of the great heroes!
**[03:37] Ard**
*This is too much information!*
***SIGN*** The Greatest Demon Lord
Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody
**[05:17] Ireena**
That's right!
**[05:18] Ireena**
Papa, Uncle, and Auntie defeated the evil god.
**[05:21] Ireena**
Apparently, Papa is known as the Heroic Baron.
**[05:24] Ireena**
You didn't know, Ard?
**[05:26] Ard**
*How can this be?*
**[05:28] Ard**
*This setting is too unique!*
**[05:30] Ard**
*What happened to being a typical nobody?*
**[05:32] Ireena**
I'm looking forward to the future!
**[05:35] Ireena**
I'm glad I'm with you, Ard!
**[05:38] Ard**
*That's right. For now,*
**[05:40] Ard**
*so long as I have Ireeny's smile*
**[05:42] Ard**
*I don't need anything else.*
**[05:45] Girls**
Ardy! Ardy!
**[05:46] Boy E2**
Miss Ireena!
**[05:47] GirlAE2**
Ardy, let's be friends!
**[05:49] GirlBE2**
No stealing a lead!
**[05:50] BoyAE2**
Miss Ireena, I've heard many
things about your father.
**[05:52] BoyBE2**
Would you like to look
around the school together?
**[05:54] Girls**
Ardy!
**[05:54] Ard**
*This situation...*
**[05:56] Ard**
* It's not so much that I'm popular as it is my*
* parents' reputation that's drawing them.*
**[06:01] Ard**
* Though I am still happy that they're*
* proposing we become friends.*
**[06:04] Boy E2**
Don't get cocky, commoner.
**[06:07] BoyC E2**
Those country bumpkins are so annoying.
**[06:09] Ard**
* Oh, looks like not everyone's throwing*
* up their arms to welcome me.*
**[06:13] FollowerA**
Come on, be honest about it!
**[06:15] Elraldo**
An incompetent woman like
you made into the school?
**[06:18] Elraldo**
Did you seduce your way in?
**[06:20] Ginny**
I didn't do any such thing!
**[06:22] Elraldo**
Then how are you even here,
**[06:24] Elraldo**
you lowly succubus?!
**[06:26] Ard**
Hey-
**[06:27] Ireena**
You stop that right now!
**[06:28] Ireena**
You're upsetting her!
**[06:31] Elraldo**
Huh?
**[06:33] Elraldo**
Well, well, if it isn't the
Heroic Baron's little girl.
**[06:37] Elraldo**
I'm Elraldo Spencer.
**[06:39] Elraldo**
Even a country girl like you has
surely heard of the Spencer Duchy.
**[06:45] Ireena**
I-I've heard of it.
**[06:46] Ireena**
So what?!
**[06:48] Elraldo**
Tch! This girl belongs to the family
of a count that serves my own.
**[06:52] Elraldo**
Though even as counts, they could never
measure up to the Spencer family.
**[06:56] Elraldo**
So this girl is my servant,
and I am her master.
**[06:59] Elraldo**
You have no right to meddle in our affairs!
**[07:03] Ard**
You're mistaken if you believe that makes
it acceptable to say whatever you want.
**[07:07] Elraldo**
Huh? Sounds like you're getting
awfully damn carried away.
**[07:11] Elraldo**
You're just riding your parents' coattails.
**[07:13] Ard**
It doesn't matter if I'm riding them or not.
**[07:16] Ard**
What's more important is that I ask you
to apologize for disparaging her honor.
**[07:20] Elraldo**
You shut up!
**[07:22] Ard**
So you won't apologize, then?
**[07:24] Elraldo**
Well,
**[07:25] Elraldo**
if you manage to beat me in a duel,
then maybe I'll consider listening to you.
**[07:31] Ard**
What's the matter, Miss Ireena?
**[07:33] Ireena**
He's...
**[07:34] Ireena**
He has enough power to be the youngest man
to earn the rank of square within the kingdom.
**[07:38] Elraldo**
You lowly people could never hope to compare
to me in terms of lineage or talent.
**[07:43] Elraldo**
Understand now?
**[07:49] Olivia**
What's this commotion about?
**[07:53] Olivia**
A fight's already breaking
out within my class?
**[07:56] Olivia**
What a heap of trouble.
**[07:59] Ard**
*That voice is...*
**[08:02] Male Student A E2**
Lady Olivia!
**[08:04] Female Student A E2**
One of Demon Lord Varvatos's top
generals, the Legendary Apostle?!
**[08:09] Ard**
*Wait. Wait, hold on.*
**[08:11] Ard**
*Why is she here?!*
**[08:15] Olivia**
Is this commotion your doing,
**[08:18] Olivia**
son of the great mage?
**[08:19] Ard**
Huh? Oh, yes.
**[08:21] Ard**
*Not good, not good, not good!*
**[08:23] Ard**
* She should be furious with Varvatos for*
* suddenly abandoning his job and reincarnating!*
**[08:27] Ard**
*If she finds out that I'm Varvatos...*
**[08:29] Ard**
L-Lady Olivia, I see you're
doing well as always today.
**[08:33] Olivia**
"As always," you say?
**[08:35] Olivia**
It should be my first time meeting you?
**[08:37] Ard**
*Urk.*
**[08:39] Ard**
U-Um, well...
**[08:41] Olivia**
Hmph. You were having an
interesting discussion, though.
**[08:44] Olivia**
So very well.
**[08:45] Olivia**
I'll permit your duel.
**[08:47] Olivia**
Get to it.
**[08:48] Ginny/Ireena/Elraldo**
Huh?!
**[08:49] Olivia**
Show me your power.
**[08:52] Male Student A E2**
Lady Olivia is judging them herself?!
**[08:55] Female Student A E2**
That's the son of the great mage for you!
**[08:57] Female Student B E2**
He's even drawn the interest of Lady Olivia!
**[09:10] Ard**
*Now, then...*
**[09:11] Ard**
* How to finish this without*
* Olivia catching on?*
**[09:16] FollowerA**
Hey, man, he's dead meat.
**[09:19] FollowerB**
Elraldo's strength surpasses even the great
mage's and the heroic baron's, doesn't it?
**[09:26] Elraldo**
You're out of luck, snowflake.
**[09:29] Elraldo**
If Lady Olivia hadn't come along,
you could have gotten out of this duel.
**[09:33] FollowerA**
Get him!
**[09:34] FollowerB**
Go!
**[09:36] Elraldo**
Die!
**[09:48] Male Student B E2**
That's...!
**[09:49] Female Student B E2**
He activated Mega Wall without any aria!
**[09:51] Male Student A E2**
Wh-What a crazy level of fighting!
**[09:55] Ard**
Huh?
**[09:57] Elraldo**
I see, I see.
**[09:58] Elraldo**
You're not half-bad are you?
**[10:00] Elraldo**
I'll take back calling you a snowflake.
**[10:03] Ard**
If I may ask,
**[10:04] Ard**
what aspect of that attack and defense
warranted taking your statement back?
**[10:09] Elraldo**
Q-Quit acting so composed!
**[10:11] Elraldo**
You're sorely mistaken if you
think that was me being serious!
**[10:14] Ard**
I'm sure it wasn't.
**[10:16] Ard**
Such a paltry attack is—
**[10:18] Elraldo**
Now you've gone and said it!
**[10:23] Elraldo**
I'm surprised you're still standing
after taking my Mega Flare!
**[10:26] Ard**
Huh? Mega Flare?
**[10:28] Ard**
*What is this guy saying?*
**[10:29] Ard**
*That was just a normal Flare.*
**[10:32] Ard**
* Oh, he's falsely claiming*
* his Flare is Mega Flare.*
**[10:37] Elraldo**
I'm happy.
**[10:38] Elraldo**
It's been a long time since I fought
someone I could go all-out against.
**[10:40] Ard**
You know, putting on such
an act is only ridiculous.
**[10:43] Ard**
Though I do understand it.
**[10:46] Ard**
Long ago I went through
a period like that, too.
**[10:49] Ard**
I gave lower-level spells
embarrassing names,
**[10:52] Ard**
and made a huge show of activating them.
**[10:54] Ard**
Though such grandiose lies
will only leave you miserable.
**[11:04] Elraldo**
Why, you!
**[11:10] Ireena**
Ard!
**[11:16] FollowerA**
He's completely blocking a
Spencer-style Giga Flare with ease?!
**[11:20] Ard**
Huh?
**[11:22] Ard**
This last spell was just a consecutive
activation of simple Flares.
**[11:27] Ard**
That was no Giga Flare.
**[11:29] Ard**
That's an insult to the creator of the spell.
**[11:34] Ard**
Mister Elraldo,
**[11:35] Ard**
since it seems you're unfamiliar,
**[11:37] Ard**
allow me to teach you
**[11:39] Ard**
what a real Giga Flare is.
**[11:57] Elraldo**
A-All right! I lose!
**[11:59] Elraldo**
I just have to apologize, right?!
**[12:01] Elraldo**
I'm sorry!
**[12:02] Elraldo**
I was wrong!
**[12:08] Both**
Huh?!
**[12:13] Elraldo**
Huh? What?
**[12:14] Ard**
Now do you understand?
**[12:17] Ard**
What you just saw is a real Giga Flare.
**[12:21] Ard**
Do not make that mistake again.
**[12:27] Ireena**
Ard, that was amazing!
**[12:29] Ireena**
Understand now?
No more bullying, you got it?
**[12:32] Ireena**
If he ever says anything mean to
you again, you can tell me or Ard!
**[12:36] Ginny**
Y-Yes!
**[12:38] Ginny**
Um...
**[12:41] Ginny**
Thank you so much.
**[12:42] Ard**
There's no need to thank me.
**[12:44] Ard**
That might have been
a bit childish of me, too.
**[12:48] Olivia**
I see, "a bit childish," huh?
**[12:51] Ard**
*Shoot!*
**[12:52] Ard**
*I forgot she was here!*
**[12:54] Olivia**
Hey, son of the great mage,
**[12:57] Olivia**
you cast a different spell on Elraldo
while activating that spell didn't you?
**[13:01] Ard**
I cast the defensive spell Mega Wall
while I was controlling Giga Flare.
**[13:05] Ard**
There was a chance Elraldo would have been
vaporized at the atomic level otherwise.
**[13:08] Olivia**
In other words,
**[13:10] Olivia**
you pulled off a double cast.
**[13:12] Ard**
What about it?
**[13:13] Male Student A E2**
He activated two spells at once?!
**[13:15] Male Student A E2**
No way!
**[13:16] Male Student B E2**
Even for him, that can't be...
**[13:19] Ard**
U-Um, I only used a mere two spells at once!
**[13:23] Ard**
I could understand this if I had activated
dozens of different spells at once,
**[13:27] Ard**
but a simple double cast doesn't...
**[13:28] Olivia**
In this day and age, that simple double
cast is treated as a Lost Skill.
**[13:35] Olivia**
That's common sense, Ard Meteor.
**[13:39] Ard**
*Ah, not good. This is bad.*
**[13:41] Olivia**
Now why are you able to
use such a Lost Skill?
**[13:44] Olivia**
Further, why do you not possess the
common sense for this era?
**[13:53] Olivia**
At some point, I'll get that
information out of you.
**[14:01] Olivia**
We're starting class.
**[14:02] Olivia**
No need for classroom lectures,
**[14:04] Olivia**
only field training.
**[14:05] Olivia**
Form into groups of three.
**[14:07] Female Student A E2**
Ardy! Please let me in your party!
**[14:10] Male Student A E2**
Hey! You'd just hold him back! Get lost!
**[14:12] Ard**
Hey, everyone, calm down...
**[14:15] Female Student A E2**
Take turns!
**[14:17] Female Student A E2**
I was first to ask him!
**[14:17] Ireena**
Hey, Ard, is it okay if we
party up with that girl?
**[14:20] Students**
What should we do?
**[14:21] Students**
What to do, indeed?
**[14:22] Ard**
Of course.
**[14:22] Students**
Want to join my team?
**[14:24] Students**
Me, too!
**[14:25] Ireena**
Hey, you! Come join our party!
**[14:28] Ginny**
Huh?!
**[14:29] Ginny**
A-Are you okay with having me?
**[14:31] Ireena**
Of course!
**[14:32] Ireena**
We were just looking for
another party member!
**[14:35] Ireena**
What's your name?
**[14:37] Ginny**
I'm Ginny Fin de Salvan.
**[14:39] Ireena**
I'm Ireena.
**[14:41] Ireena**
This is Ard.
**[14:42] Ginny**
U-Um, thank you two for the other day.
**[14:45] Ireena**
Nice to have you, Ginny.
**[14:47] Ginny**
It's nice to meet you, too, Miss Ireena.
**[14:51] Olivia**
Today's mission
**[14:53] Olivia**
is to delve down into the third
floor, slay a Black Wolf,
**[14:56] Olivia**
skin its hide, and bring that back.
**[14:58] Olivia**
That's all.
**[14:58] Male Student C E2**
A-A Black Wolf?!
**[15:00] Male Student D E2**
That's a Rank B+ monster!
**[15:02] Male Student D E2**
Are you telling us to die
already, Lady Olivia?!
**[15:05] Olivia**
A mission of this level should
be easy for you handle, right?
**[15:09] Ard**
U-Uh...
**[15:11] Ard**
A-Anyway, let's get going.
**[15:20] Ginny**
A-A Black Wolf?!
**[15:23] Ireena**
It's fine, Ginny.
**[15:24] Ard**
Yes. I'll defeat this
low-level monster quickly.
**[15:34] Ginny**
Incredible!
**[15:35] Ireena**
Hm-hm! We can't have you
getting surprised over this.
**[15:38] Ireena**
Ard and I have already defeated
an incredible number of monsters!
**[15:43] Ard**
*Shoot. We have to skin its hide...*
**[15:47] Ard**
*Controlling its strength is challenging.*
**[15:48] Ginny**
I-I'm sorry.
**[15:51] Ginny**
All I'm able to do is get in your way...
**[15:54] Ginny**
Sir Elraldo always calls
me slow and dumb, too.
**[15:59] Ireena**
Ginny...
**[16:03] Ard**
Miss Ginny.
**[16:04] Ard**
If you're interested,
**[16:06] Ard**
would you like to take some lessons from me?
**[16:08] Ginny**
Huh?
**[16:10] Ginny**
Lessons? From you?
**[16:12] Ard**
Yes.
**[16:13] Ard**
I still have much to learn,
**[16:15] Ard**
but I believe I can offer you some help.
**[16:19] Ard**
I'd like to help you build
up your confidence a bit.
**[16:23] Ginny**
B-But...
**[16:26] Ginny**
That's not possible.
**[16:27] Ireena**
What are you saying, Ginny?!
**[16:29] Ireena**
Just trust Ard!
**[16:30] Ginny**
I'm not worth troubling your time over.
**[16:33] Ireena**
You are, though!
**[16:34] Ireena**
Because you're our friend!
**[16:36] Ginny**
Friend?
**[16:37] Ireena**
Yeah!
**[16:47] Ginny**
Th-Then please teach me!
**[16:57] Ireena**
D-Don't mind it, Ginny.
**[16:59] Ginny**
I really am an incompetent woman.
**[17:02] Ard**
That's not true at all.
**[17:04] Ard**
Succubi are supposed to have great
aptitude for magic in the first place.
**[17:09] Ard**
And to be honest, Miss Ginny, you do—
**[17:10] Ginna**
Then I'm an especially incompetent succubus!
**[17:14] Ard**
* She's completely lost all confidence from*
* suffering years of power and sexual harassment.*
**[17:19] Ard**
*That's going to make this a bit trickier.*
**[17:24] Ard**
You must not give up, Miss Ginny.
**[17:27] Ard**
I still have more I can teach you.
**[17:32] Ard**
Perfect timing.
**[17:34] Ard**
Let's practice it out on that foe.
**[17:42] Ginny**
Huh? Um, huh?
**[17:44] Ireena**
Wh-What did you just do?
**[17:46] Ard**
It's a technique for the
speedy activation of spells
**[17:49] ---**
by projecting simple magic
circles into the air.
**[17:52] Ard**
I personally call it Script Magic.
**[17:55] Ireena**
I've never seen or heard
of that before, though.
**[17:58] Ard**
I'm sure you haven't.
**[18:00] Ard**
Because I created it.
**[18:02] Ginny**
You created a magic technique from scratch?!
**[18:07] Ireena**
Th-That's Ard for you!
**[18:09] Ireena**
Aren't you amazed?
**[18:11] Ard**
Both of you can use it, too,
**[18:13] Ard**
since it's a technique created with
the desire to simplify activation.
**[18:16] Both**
Huh?!
**[18:18] Ard**
The logic is extremely simple.
**[18:20] Ard**
You incorporate a technique using
the mana within the atmosphere
**[18:23] ---**
as its energy source into the magic circle.
**[18:25] Ard**
In doing so, it consumes
zero magical energy,
**[18:27] Ard**
so it's not affected by the
state of the caster, either.
**[18:30] Ard**
Now, please memorize the simple
magic circle I'm about to teach you.
**[18:34] Ginny**
Y-Yes!
**[18:43] Ginny**
I-I did it!
**[18:44] Ginny**
I did it!
**[18:46] Ginny**
It's all thanks to you, Ard!
**[18:48] Ard**
That's the spirit.
**[18:49] Ard**
And as you increase the precision the
magic circle, it will improve even more.
**[18:54] Ireena**
Hey, Ard!
**[18:55] Ireena**
We're going to skin a Black Wolf
and get its pelt, right?
**[18:57] Ard**
That's right, Olivia's—our teacher's mission...
**[19:11] Ard**
It's my fault for letting my caution lapse.
**[19:14] Ard**
It looks like we've been sucked
through a Dungeon Hole.
**[19:16] Ireena**
Which means this is...
**[19:20] Ard**
The bottom floor,
**[19:22] Ard**
and the Floor Boss's lair.
**[19:25] Ginny**
It's a M-M-M-Minotaur!
**[19:29] Ard**
This cow man?
**[19:36] Ireena**
G-Ginny!
**[19:37] Ireena**
I-It's fine!
**[19:38] Ireena**
I'm here with you!
**[19:40] Ard**
Hm, true, it does seem more
formidable than the Black Wolves.
**[19:44] Ard**
Now then, let's begin our
final lessons on Script Magic.
**[19:48] Ireena**
Ard!
**[19:49] Ginny**
Look out!
**[19:53] Ard**
Lesson one.
**[19:55] Ard**
When fighting in close range like this,
**[19:56] Ard**
you shouldn't be using Script Magic.
**[19:59] Ard**
Be sure to get some distance
from your opponent.
**[20:04] Ard**
Pushing your opponent away is also effective.
**[20:08] Ginny**
N-No way...
**[20:10] Ard**
Lesson two.
**[20:11] Ard**
It's very effective if you use it to
take advantage of an enemy's opening.
**[20:17] Ard**
Script Magic's strength is that
it can used consecutively.
**[20:21] Ard**
Unlike common spells,
**[20:23] Ard**
it doesn't consume magic energy,
**[20:24] Ard**
and you can form the magic
circle in short time.
**[20:32] Ard**
Miss Ginny,
**[20:33] Ard**
would you please deliver the final blow?
**[20:39] Ginny**
H-Huh?!
**[20:41] Ard**
Muster up your courage
and bid farewell to your past.
**[20:45] Ginny**
But...
**[20:46] Ard**
Miss Ginny, right now you truly are
at a fork in the road of your life.
**[20:52] Ard**
If you want to change,
**[20:53] Ard**
then show us that desire.
**[20:55] Ginny**
I...
**[20:57] Ginny**
Until now I've always run away
from my bitter feelings.
**[21:01] Ginny**
I hoped that one day a lovely person
**[21:04] Ginny**
like the Demon Lord would come
**[21:07] Ginny**
and rescue me.
**[21:10] Ginny**
I didn't fight the reality before me,
**[21:12] Ginny**
and just consoled myself.
**[21:15] Ginny**
But...
**[21:16] Ginny**
I don't want to run anymore!
**[21:21] Ginny**
Take this!
**[21:30] Ginny**
I won't cry anymore!
**[21:32] Ginny**
I'll become stronger!
**[21:45] Ard**
Well done, Miss Ginny.
**[21:48] Ireena**
Ginny, you did it!
**[21:50] Ireena**
That's our friend!
**[21:52] Ginny**
Friend...
**[21:53] Ireena**
That's right.
**[21:54] Ireena**
We defeated the Floor Boss together!
**[22:05] Olivia**
So you slew the Floor Boss?
**[22:07] Ginny**
It's because Ard taught us Script Magic!
**[22:11] Olivia**
Script Magic?
**[22:13] Ard**
No, that's not true.
**[22:15] Ard**
We fought really super-hard
to defeat it and almost died!
**[22:17] Ard**
It was a close call for us!
**[22:18] Both**
Huh?
**[22:19] Ard**
Man, what a tough time!
**[22:23] Elraldo**
I'm sure that incompetent woman
clung to you the whole time.
**[22:27] Elraldo**
What an easy life for her.
**[22:28] FollowerA**
Seducer! Seducer!
**[22:29] FollowerB**
Pretty pathetic from the
son of the great mage.
**[22:33] Ginny**
I don't care what you say about me.
**[22:36] Ginny**
But please take back what you said about Ard!
**[22:39] Elraldo**
Huh? Did you fall for him or something?
**[22:42] Elraldo**
Well, quite the rivalry with the
Heroic Baron's daughter, then.
**[22:45] Ireena**
Hey!
**[22:50] Ginny**
I won't allow you to insult those two!
**[22:53] Elraldo**
Y-You impudent!
**[22:55] Elraldo**
You lowly succubus!
**[23:00] Ireena**
And I won't forgive you
if you ridicule Ginny!
**[23:03] Elraldo**
S-Shut up!
**[23:05] Elraldo**
Just you wait!
**[23:08] FollowerA**
Elraldo, wait up!
**[23:11] Ard**
*What a beautiful sight.*
**[23:13] Ard**
*Friendships, bonding, and trust.*
**[23:17] Ard**
*Ireeny is the most wonderful of all.*
**[23:20] Ard**
*And Miss Ginny is quite wonderful, as well.*
**[23:23] Ard**
*Ah, what a lovely first day this was.*
**[23:27] Ard**
*Now it's about time to leave school.*
**[23:29] Olivia**
You wait here.
**[23:34] Olivia**
Let's have a chat.
**[23:36] Olivia**
A nice, long one.

**[00:01] Ard**
Could you say that one more time?
**[00:04] Golde**
Yes.
**[00:07] Golde**
I would like you
**[00:08] Golde**
to participate in the students' battle
event our queen shall be attending,
**[00:13] Golde**
and put on an excellent,
ostentatious performance for her!
**[00:25] Ard**
No, thank you.
***SIGN*** The Greatest Demon Lord
Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody
**[02:00] Golde**
As you know,
**[02:01] Golde**
this academy is a national institution.
**[02:04] Golde**
This upcoming battle event is
**[02:06] Golde**
a unique opportunity for us to
appeal for a greater budget!
**[02:09] Ard**
So you're hoping to use me
as a tool to acquire funding?
**[02:12] Golde**
No, no, no!
**[02:14] Golde**
I'm just thinking about the students
and the future of this academy!
**[02:19] Golde**
Ardy, I'm begging you here!
**[02:21] Golde**
Please!
**[02:27] Ard**
Please raise your head, Headmaster.
**[02:30] Ard**
It's my belief that magic exists
to help those in need.
**[02:36] Ard**
Even if you are trying to secure
a budget, making a show of it...
**[02:38] Olivia**
Goes against your aesthetics, huh?
**[02:42] Olivia**
A certain, dumb, younger brother of mine
**[02:43] Olivia**
once said something similar long ago.
**[02:47] Olivia**
Though he went and reincarnated
without asking anyone first,
**[02:50] Olivia**
so I never got the chance to ask him
about the meaning of such aesthetics.
**[02:55] Ard**
*A dumb younger brother?*
**[02:56] Olivia**
He wasn't my blood relative, though.
**[02:58] Olivia**
We were orphans, after all.
**[03:02] Ard**
Headmaster.
**[03:03] Ard**
Could you please give me
some time to consider it?
**[03:06] Golde**
Of course!
**[03:08] Golde**
I look forward to an amicable response!
**[03:11] Olivia**
I'm going to ascertain who you truly are,
**[03:15] Olivia**
son of the great mage.
**[03:20] Ard**
What do I do?
**[03:21] Ard**
* If I refuse, they could take*
* away my scholarship status,*
**[03:25] Ard**
*or at worst, possibly expel me.*
**[03:28] Ard**
*Then my academy life with Ireeny is gone.*
**[03:33] Ard**
* Though nothing's riskier than participating*
* in the battle event with Olivia watching!*
**[03:38] Ginny**
Mister Ard!
**[03:41] Ard**
Oh, Miss Ginny, what's the matter?
**[03:45] Ginny**
Um, i-if you don't have
any plans after classes,
**[03:47] Ginny**
would you go on a date with me?
**[03:50] Ard**
Huh?
**[03:51] Ard**
A date, you say?
**[03:53] Ginny**
Yes!
**[03:55] Ard**
* A date as in the event lovers*
* embark upon together?*
**[03:58] Ard**
*That kind of date?*
**[04:01] Ard**
* Wait, but why would Miss*
* Ginny ask that of me?*
**[04:04] Ard**
*No, no, no, no,*
**[04:06] Ard**
*don't take this the wrong way, Ard Meteor.*
**[04:08] Ard**
*You shouldn't harbor any wicked hopes.*
**[04:11] Ard**
*I should turn her down right now.*
**[04:13] Ginny**
How about it?
**[04:19] Ard**
All right.
**[04:20] Ard**
I'll accompany you.
**[04:22] Ginny**
Yay! A date with Mister Ard!
**[04:25] Ard**
I'd like to ask a favor of you, as well.
**[04:27] Ginny**
Huh?
**[04:28] Ard**
Could you drop the "Mister"
and just call me Ard?
**[04:33] Ard**
We are classmates, after all.
**[04:35] Ginny**
No way! I couldn't do that!
**[04:37] Ard**
Then how about Ardy, at least?
**[04:40] Ginny**
Hmm... Ardy?
**[04:43] Ard**
Yes. That would be preferable.
**[04:47] Ginny**
Ardy! I'm looking forward to our date!
**[04:50] Ard**
Me, too.
**[04:51] ---**
Hang on a dang second!
**[04:53] Ginny**
Miss Ireena.
**[04:54] Ireena**
M-Me, too!
**[04:56] Ireena**
I want a date, too!
**[05:01] Ginny**
Sure! I'm totally okay with that!
**[05:03] Both**
Huh?
**[05:04] Ireena**
D-Do you really mean that? I mean...
**[05:07] Ginny**
I don't plan on trying to monopolize Ardy.
**[05:11] Ginny**
In fact, I think Ardy should
be building a harem!
**[05:18] Ireena**
What's a harem?
**[05:21] Ginny**
You don't know about them?
**[05:23] Ginny**
Well, you see, a harem is...
**[05:29] Ireena**
N-No! No way!
**[05:31] Ireena**
Absolutely not!
**[05:33] Ireena**
I'll never permit any harem!
**[05:36] Ginny**
Huh? Why not?
**[05:38] Ginny**
I think Ardy would look cool
surrounded by lots of women.
**[05:43] Ireena**
No means no!
**[05:54] Ginny**
Ardy! Miss Ireena!
**[05:58] Ireena**
Wow, Ginny! You're so cute!
**[06:01] Ginny**
You, too, Miss Ireena.
**[06:05] Ireena**
Where did you buy that outfit?
**[06:05] Ard**
* Man, watching two beautiful women*
* frolic together cleanses the soul.*
**[06:06] Ginny**
At my favorite shop!
**[06:12] Ginny**
Ardy, what do you think of how I look?
**[06:15] Ginny**
I put a lot of effort into it for our date!
**[06:18] Ard**
Oh, well, this truly is a good look on you.
**[06:21] Ireena**
Ard!
**[06:22] Ireena**
Praise me, too!
**[06:24] Ard**
You look wonderful, too, Miss Ireena.
**[06:26] Ireena**
Right?!
**[06:27] Ginny**
Since it's our first date, I went with
the orthodox choice of watching a play.
**[06:32] Ard**
Oh? What are they performing?
**[06:34] Varvatos Actor**
I am the omnipotent ruler...
**[06:37] Varvatos Actor**
Varvatos!
**[06:40] Varvatos Actor**
I will annihilate all of the evil gods!
**[06:44] Ard**
* To think I'd be watching*
* my past life like this...*
**[06:56] Ard**
*It would seem Ginny is starting to activate*
**[07:00] ---**
* the succubus ability that she*
* subconsciously sealed away.*
**[07:04] Ard**
* It was said to ensnare and charm*
* men and women of all ages.*
**[07:09] Ard**
*What power and talent...*
**[07:12] Ard**
*It's even affecting me slightly...*
**[07:20] Ard**
*No, I must not!*
**[07:21] Ard**
* How can I let myself harbor*
* such wicked thoughts?!*
**[07:24] Lydia Actress**
You take action on your
own too much, Varvatos!
**[07:29] Lydia Actress**
Please, rely on my strength a little more!
**[07:32] Varvatos Actor**
I'm sorry, Lydia.
**[07:36] Lydia Actress**
I'm worried about you, Varvatos.
**[07:40] Ard**
*H-H-Hold on.*
**[07:42] Ard**
* Is this really a play about*
* the Demon Lord Varvatos?*
**[07:45] Ard**
*Whose story am I watching here?*
**[07:49] Lydia Actress**
Varvatos,
**[07:51] Lydia Actress**
I'll always be there for you...
**[07:54] Varvatos Actor**
Thank you, Lydia.
**[07:57] Varvatos Actor**
Having you around eases my weary heart.
**[08:00] Ard**
* No! That is absolutely, overwhelmingly,*
* fundamentally wrong!*
**[08:04] Ard**
*Lydia was actually...*
**[08:10] (Flashback) Varvatos**
Hey, wait! Lydia!
**[08:12] (Flashback) Varvatos**
If you rush in now, then the
tactics we prepared will—
**[08:15] (Flashback) Lydia**
Shut up!
**[08:16] (Flashback) Lydia**
Let's go, boys!
**[08:18] (Flashback) Men**
Yeah!
**[08:20] (Flashback) Lydia**
We just have to win, that's all!
**[08:23] Ard**
*...like that!*
**[08:27] Lydia Actress**
The flowers have bloomed!
**[08:30] Ard**
*Flowers, my ass!*
**[08:34] Ard**
*I'm exhausted.*
**[08:36] Ard**
* I'm extremely exhausted between reliving my*
* past and interjecting over their performance.*
**[08:41] Ginny**
That was so much fun!
**[08:43] Ginny**
The Demon Lord Varvatos was a wonderful man!
**[08:46] Ard**
Uh... sure.
**[08:48] Ginny**
But I don't think I would've enjoyed
it this much if I just watched it by myself.
**[08:54] Ginny**
It's because you were with me, Ardy.
**[09:00] Ireena**
Hey,
**[09:01] Ireena**
let's go get something to eat already!
**[09:05] Ginny**
I know a good place!
**[09:07] Ginny**
I'll lead the way!
**[09:11] ARd**
Miss Ginny, th-this is...
**[09:13] Ireena**
Hey, Ard! I can't see!
**[09:16] Ginny**
The hidden gem is just through here.
**[09:19] Ard**
* Good grief! At this point,*
* we just have to follow her.*
**[09:27] DarkCapeA**
She's an incredibly tough woman.
**[09:30] DarkCapeB**
I guess there's at least some reason she's
hailed as the messenger of the sacred goddess.
**[09:34] Ireena**
Ard?
**[09:36] DarkCapeC**
Still, even if she is the
queen, she's still human.
**[09:39] DarkCapeC**
It should almost be ready now.
**[09:40] Ireena**
Ard?
**[09:42] DarkCapeA**
Soon enough, the queen
will be in our clutches!
**[09:48] Ginny**
What's the matter, Ardy?
**[09:53] DarkCapeLeader**
Once that magic circle is complete,
**[09:55] DarkCapeLeader**
even the queen won't escape unscathed.
**[09:58] DarkCapeLeader**
Let's get going.
**[10:03] Ard**
I'm planning to tail those guys.
**[10:06] Ard**
I'm sorry for cutting our date
short, but you two should...
**[10:10] Ireena**
I'm going with you, Ard!
**[10:12] Ireena**
If the queen is in danger,
then I can't just watch and do nothing!
**[10:15] Ginny**
Same here!
**[10:16] Ginny**
I'm not who I was before!
**[10:18] Ginny**
I should be able to help you somehow now!
**[10:26] Ard**
All right.
**[10:27] Ard**
At the very least, I guarantee
I'll keep you two safe.
**[10:47] Ard**
This is looking shadier by the minute.
**[11:02] Ireena**
A magic circle...
**[11:04] Ginny**
It's so big...
**[11:07] Ard**
Oh, now I see.
**[11:09] Ard**
So, that's how it is.
**[11:11] Ireena**
That's how it is?
**[11:13] Ard**
Apparently, we're...
**[11:14] Voice**
Don't move or we'll kill you!
**[11:18] Ard**
So this was a trap.
**[11:21] DarkCapeLeader**
You fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
**[11:23] DarkCapeLeader**
Don't get any funny ideas now, got it?
**[11:25] DarkCapeLeader**
Your lives are in our hands now.
**[11:32] DarkCapeLeader**
You've got an awful lot of pluck.
**[11:35] DarkCapeLeader**
You think you can escape from us?
**[11:37] Ard**
Well, let's see.
**[11:39] Ard**
It looks to me like you have
no intention of killing us.
**[11:44] Ard**
If you were planning to kill us,
**[11:46] Ard**
you would have attacked us
by surprise or something.
**[11:50] Ard**
Yet you went out of your way to hold an
obviously suspicious conversation to lure us in,
**[11:54] Ard**
and you even prepared the construction
of this magic circle ahead of time,
**[11:57] Ard**
which is more than enough for me to surmise
**[12:00] Ard**
you plan to kidnap us alive
**[12:03] Ard**
rather than kill us.
**[12:06] Ard**
In addition to that!
**[12:11] Ireena**
Ard!
**[12:13] Ginny**
Ardy!
**[12:18] DarkCapeLeader**
Your guess was only half right!
**[12:21] DarkCapeLeader**
There's no need for us to keep
anyone but our target alive!
**[12:30] DarkCapeLeader**
Wh-What?! Why won't you die?!
**[12:33] Ard**
This scheme you lot have
prepared poses no threat to me.
**[12:45] DarkCapeLeader**
I-Impossible!
**[12:47] DarkCapeLeader**
How on earth are you—
**[12:49] DarkCapeA**
Who the hell is this guy?!
**[12:51] DarkCapeB**
His whole body was burned!
**[12:53] DarkCapeC**
I-Impossible!
**[12:54] DarkCapeLeader**
Don't panic!
**[12:55] DarkCapeLeader**
We're only facing three people!
**[12:57] DarkCapeLeader**
We still have the upper hand here!
**[12:59] Ard**
It doesn't matter how many small fry
like you try to gang up on me.
**[13:05] Ard**
I'm still in the middle of my date.
**[13:09] Ard**
Now, then!
**[13:29] Ard**
Now I made a point of leaving you awake.
**[13:32] Ard**
If you'll confess why you
tried to go after us,
**[13:35] Ard**
then I won't have to get rough.
**[13:38] DarkCapeLeader**
You monster!
**[13:39] DarkCapeLeader**
You won't get away with this!
**[13:49] Ireena**
A-A demon?!
**[13:52] Ard**
I see. So that's what's going on.
**[13:57] Demon**
Lightning Burst!
**[14:05] Ireena**
D-Did he flee?
**[14:07] Ginny**
It looks like it?
**[14:10] Ard**
Girls, I'm going after him.
**[14:13] Both**
Huh?
**[14:14] Ireena**
Wait, but...
**[14:15] Ireena**
He can fly?
**[14:17] Ginny**
By the time we return to the manhole
and climb up to the surface,
**[14:21] Ginny**
he could be anywhere.
**[14:23] Ard**
Why would we have to go back?
**[14:26] Ard**
If he's going to fly,
then we just need to do the same.
**[14:34] Ginny**
A-Are humans supposed to be able to fly?
**[14:37] Ard**
Just please remember that I am able to fly.
**[14:53] CitizenA**
What's that?!
**[15:02] Mother**
No! Someone save my daughter!
**[15:07] CitizenB**
H-Hey, is that—
**[15:09] CitizenC**
R-Run! There's a demon loose!
**[15:13] Ard**
*This is bad.*
**[15:14] Ard**
*At this rate, the panic will spread.*
**[15:17] Ard**
*The only way to settle this...*
**[15:21] Ard**
Listen up, citizens!
**[15:24] Ard**
My name is Ard Meteor!
**[15:27] Ard**
I am the son of the great mage, Jack Meteor!
**[15:31] CitizenD**
Meteor? The great mage?
**[15:34] Ard**
I will pursue that demon,
so he is already as good as dead!
**[15:39] Ard**
I shall punish the villain that dares
to threaten your peaceful lives!
**[15:44] Demon**
Punish me? I have a hostage, you know.
**[15:46] Ard**
Hostage?
**[15:48] Ard**
Now where is that supposed to be?
**[15:52] Ard**
When did you start hallucinating
that you had a hostage?
**[15:56] Demon**
What did you do?
**[15:58] Ard**
Just a little illusion spell.
**[16:01] Ard**
Though even so, the quality
of demons sure has fallen.
**[16:05] Demon**
Who the hell are you?!
**[16:09] Ard**
Just a passing villager.
**[16:14] Demon**
There is no villager like you!
**[16:19] Ard**
Since you don't seem to know,
allow me to teach you.
**[16:24] Ard**
You can't escape from me.
**[16:28] Ard**
Flash of Babel!
**[16:43] Ard**
Now, then...
**[16:44] Mother**
Um, thank you so much for rescuing my child.
**[16:49] Ard**
No, it was only the right thing to do.
**[16:54] CitizenF**
I-I don't know what that was,
but wasn't it amazing?!
**[16:58] CitizenG**
I've seen it before!
**[16:59] CitizenG**
The great mage's magic!
**[17:01] CitizenH**
His powerful, special magic!
**[17:04] CitizenI**
Thank you! Thank you!
**[17:06] CitizenJ**
Great mage!
**[17:07] Citizen C**
Raise him up!
**[17:08] Ard**
Huh? Hey!
**[17:10] Citizens**
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
**[17:14] Citizens**
Sir Ard!
**[17:16] Citizens**
Hooray! Hooray!
**[17:19] Ginny**
D-Did something happen?
**[17:24] Ard**
* We were granted the honor of an audience*
* with Her Majesty, thanks to today's events.*
**[17:30] Ard**
* I was trying to avoid*
* standing out, and yet...*
**[17:36] Rosa**
Raise your head, Ard Meteor.
**[17:41] Ard**
* Of course the queen would have an*
* abundant aura of elegance and dignity.*
**[17:48] PrimeMinister**
Hey, commoner!
**[17:50] PrimeMinister**
Do not gaze directly on
Her Majesty's noble figure!
**[17:54] Rosa**
It's fine.
**[17:57] Rosa**
It is only natural for others
to be enchanted by my beauty.
**[18:03] Ard**
* Now, what kind of attitude*
* should I take here?*
**[18:07] Ard**
* If possible, I'd like to*
* take advantage of this*
**[18:10] ---**
* to secure funding and permission*
* to skip attending the battle event.*
**[18:14] Ireena**
Rosie, long time no see!
**[18:18] VassalD**
H-How insolent!
**[18:21] VassalE**
Intolerable!
**[18:22] Ireena**
What? Rosie and I are friends!
**[18:26] Ireena**
I won't bow my head without good reason.
**[18:29] Rosa**
I see you haven't changed.
**[18:31] Rosa**
That's the Ireena I know.
**[18:34] Rosa**
Ireena is my friend.
**[18:35] Rosa**
Therefore I shall permit her
disrespect and forwardness.
**[18:41] Rosa**
I will not allow her to be censured.
**[18:47] Rosa**
Now then, I have summoned you
here today to compensate you.
**[18:52] Ard**
* Hmm, how should a commoner respond*
* to a queen in a situation like this?*
**[18:58] Ard**
* While I've summoned the rulers of*
* other nations as the demon lord,*
**[19:02] Ard**
* this is my first time having an*
* audience with a ruler as a commoner.*
**[19:05] Rosa**
Your achievements merit commendation.
**[19:09] Ard**
Yes!
**[19:09] Rosa**
As expected from the great mage's son.
**[19:12] Ard**
Yes!
**[19:12] Rosa**
I have also taken a liking to you.
**[19:14] Rosa**
Therefore, you shall be rewarded.
**[19:16] Ard**
Yes!
**[19:17] Rosa**
You shall become my husband.
**[19:20] Ard**
Ye—
**[19:22] ---**
Huh?!
**[19:23] Rosa**
Perhaps I should state
it in even simpler terms?
**[19:27] Rosa**
Ard Meteor,
**[19:29] Rosa**
would you impregnate me?
**[19:32] PrimeMinister**
H-Have you gone mad?!
**[19:34] Ireena**
No!
**[19:35] Ireena**
No way!
**[19:36] Ireena**
Ard is my Ard!
**[19:38] Ginny**
In that case the queen will
be part of his harem, too!
**[19:43] Rosa**
Well, let us say that
was just a joke for now.
**[19:47] Rosa**
As for your reward,
**[19:49] Rosa**
I shall promote you to the rank
of pentagon-class mage.
**[19:53] VassalB**
P-Pentagon?!
**[19:54] VassalC**
A commoner to pentagon?!
**[19:56] VassalD**
Please stop this, Your Majesty!
**[19:58] Ard**
*Not good...*
**[20:01] Ard**
With all due respect, Your Majesty,
**[20:03] Ard**
while I understand this
may sound disrespectful,
**[20:06] Ard**
I would prefer if you might grant
my humble request as reward instead.
**[20:11] Rosa**
State it.
**[20:13] Ard**
I would like you to increase the budget
for the Laville National Magic Academy.
**[20:18] Rosa**
What? That is all you desire?
**[20:21] Rosa**
Yet what would you gain from that?
**[20:23] Ard**
I believe it would allow me to
show my gratitude to Count Golde,
**[20:27] ---**
who takes good care of us there.
**[20:30] Rosa**
You would prioritize a display of
gratitude over your personal gain?
**[20:34] Rosa**
How humble and compassionate!
**[20:37] Rosa**
I like you even more!
**[20:39] Rosa**
As reward, I shall grant you both
pentagon status and an increased budget!
**[20:45] PrimeMinister**
You mustn't, Your Majesty!
**[20:47] Vassals**
What?!
**[20:49] Rosa**
Fine, fine!
**[20:51] Rosa**
Then what if I attach conditions?
**[20:53] Rosa**
I shall grant both Ard and
Ireena pentagon status.
**[20:57] Rosa**
In return, you two shall be obligated
to join the Queen's Shadow,
**[21:00] ---**
the special forces that answer directly to me.
**[21:04] PrimeMinister**
No, Your Majesty, we can't grant
pentagon to Olhyde's daughter...
**[21:09] Rosa**
That's no issue.
**[21:10] Rosa**
Ireena will rise to that
rank one day anyways.
**[21:14] Ireena**
Thanks, Rosie!
**[21:16] Ireena**
By the way, can you give Ginny something, too?
**[21:19] Rosa**
Well...
**[21:21] Rosa**
How about triangle for you?
**[21:25] Ginny**
Th-Thank you so very much!
**[21:28] Ard**
*Huh?*
**[21:29] Ard**
*How did it come to this?*
**[21:36] OldLeader**
He's proved more capable than anticipated,
**[21:39] OldLeader**
this son of the great mage.
**[21:42] Elder1**
We've taken measure of his strength now.
**[21:44] Elder2**
That commoner is truly exceptional.
**[21:48] Elder3**
Yet he will still be no
match for that monster.
**[21:52] OldLeader**
Can we trust that woman?
**[21:55] Elder4**
Your concern is wasted.
**[21:57] Elder4**
That woman truly hopes to destroy this world.
**[22:01] OldLeader**
All is for the sake of restoring the world to
its proper state under our lord's proper rule.

**[00:04] Lemming**
I love you! Please go out with me!
**[00:08] Ard**
I'm very sorry.
**[00:10] Ard**
I'm not in a position to
focus on romance right now.
**[00:14] Ard**
Would you be willing to settle
for being friends for now?
**[00:20] Ard**
*I'm stumped.*
**[00:21] Ard**
* Lately I've had to deal*
* with these once a day.*
**[00:24] Ard**
* I still don't even understand how*
* I'm supposed to handle these things.*
**[00:27] Lemming**
So he's keeping me in reserve for now?
**[00:29] Lemming**
I guess it's a matter of how
to win him over from here?
**[00:32] Lemming**
He is from a distinguished family, too...
**[00:35] Ard**
*Hey, your dark side is showing.*
**[00:38] Lemming**
He seems like a virgin, too,
**[00:41] Lemming**
so if I just get him in bed...!
**[00:44] Ard**
No, wait, hold on!
**[00:46] Ireena**
That's enough right there!
**[00:57] Lemming**
Well, um...
**[00:58] Lemming**
I'll see you later!
**[01:05] Ard**
Y-You saved me.
**[01:07] Ard**
Thank you so much, Miss Ireena.
**[01:16] Ireena**
Hmph!
***SIGN*** The Greatest Demon Lord
Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody
**[02:55] Jessica**
Then Ardy really isn't...
**[02:57] Headmaster Golde**
Yes, he's announced that he won't be
participating in the battle event.
**[03:02] Jessica**
That's a shame.
**[03:04] Jessica**
However, Her Majesty has already
promised to increase our budget.
**[03:09] Jessica**
I do not think it will be a problem.
**[03:11] Headmaster Golde**
No, actually, that wasn't the only issue.
**[03:15] Jessica**
It's not?
**[03:16] Headmaster Golde**
I wanted him to take up
teaching at our academy.
**[03:21] Jessica**
You want Ardy... as an instructor here?
**[03:24] Headmaster Golde**
Though, of course, there are many against it.
**[03:28] Headmaster Golde**
Especially the nobles
that became instructors.
**[03:30] Headmaster Golde**
They positively refuse to accept the
child of a commoner as a teacher.
**[03:34] Jessica**
I'm sure.
**[03:35] Headmaster Golde**
My thought was that if Ardy made an
irrefutable display at the upcoming battle event,
**[03:41] Headmaster Golde**
then the nobles opposing him
would have to accept it.
**[03:49] Jessica**
Headmaster, would you please
leave this matter in my hands?
**[03:53] Headmaster Golde**
Oh, do you have some bright idea?
**[03:59] Ard**
Human relationships are so difficult.
**[04:03] Ard**
What do I do to get Ireeny
to stop being upset?
**[04:09] Ginny**
Um, it's Ginny.
**[04:11] Ard**
Miss Ginny? Please come in.
**[04:17] Ginny**
I thought I'd come by!
**[04:19] Ard**
What's the matter?
Why are you here so late?
**[04:29] Ginny**
What do you think?
**[04:32] Ginny**
My mother complimented me
and said it looked really good.
**[04:35] Ard**
Please be careful not to catch a cold.
**[04:39] Ginny**
Ardy, you've been especially
popular lately, huh?
**[04:42] Ginny**
Not that I mind that at all.
**[04:45] Ginny**
I'm the one pushing the
Ardy Harem Plan, after all.
**[04:49] Ginny**
Though...
**[04:51] Ginny**
If some other girl were
**[04:54] Ginny**
to steal your first time,
**[04:56] Ginny**
then I wouldn't like that...
**[04:58] Ard**
Uh-huh?
**[05:00] Ginny**
So...
**[05:02] Ginny**
I think I'm going to be a bit
more aggressive from now on.
**[05:07] Ginny**
If I told you that you could do
anything you wanted with me,
**[05:10] Ginny**
what would you do?
**[05:22] Ireena**
I've really done it now.
**[05:40] Ard**
Um, what is this about?
**[05:43] Ginny**
Ardy, you want to do it, too, don't you?
**[05:47] Ginny**
Your eyes are saying you do.
**[05:50] Ard**
*The Charming Evil Eye?!*
**[05:52] Ard**
*My body won't move!*
**[05:53] Ard**
*Is this because of her succubus Skill?*
**[05:59] Ginny**
It's my first time, too,
**[06:03] Ginny**
but it's okay...
**[06:05] Ireena**
A-Ard!
**[06:07] Ireena**
Pardon me!
**[06:10] Ireena**
Um, about earlier!
**[06:17] Ireena**
Wh-Wh-Wh—
**[06:20] Ireena**
What are you doing?!
**[06:22] Ireena**
Dummy, dummy, dummy!
**[06:26] Ireena**
Stupid Ard!
**[06:26] Ard**
Miss Ireena, please calm down!
**[06:33] Ireena**
Stupid Ard!
**[06:36] Ginny**
You're so barbaric, Miss Ireena.
**[06:40] Ginny**
At this rate,
you'll only make Ardy dislike you.
**[06:43] Ginny**
Besides, what did you even come here for?
**[06:46] Ireena**
I-I wanted... to make up with Ard.
**[06:50] Ireena**
So...
**[06:51] Ginny**
Oh?
**[06:53] Ginny**
So then you're dressed like that
as part of your plan to make up?
**[06:55] Ireena**
Th-That's right!
**[06:57] Ireena**
I-I was taught that boys w-w-will
listen to anything you ask
**[07:01] ---**
if you're wearing a naughty outfit!
**[07:03] Carla**
They'll fall for it, easy.
**[07:03] Ireena**
Ard's mother, Carla, taught me that!
**[07:06] Ard**
* Mother, what nonsense have you been*
* putting into my Ireeny's head?*
**[07:13] Ginny**
Pfft.
**[07:14] Ireena**
Wha?! What's so funny?!
**[07:16] Ginny**
Oh, nothing, I was just thinking
that such childish aspects
**[07:19] Ginny**
are but a part of your charm, Miss Ireena.
**[07:25] Ireena**
Why, you! You're making
fun of me, aren't you?!
**[07:28] Ginny**
Heavens, no.
**[07:29] Ginny**
Would I have any reason
to tease you, Miss Ireena?
**[07:33] Ireena**
For starters, this is all *your* fault!
**[07:36] Ireena**
I was able to hold back all this time!
**[07:39] Ireena**
But ever since you started
making passes at him,
**[07:41] Ireena**
seeing Ard surrounded by
women just makes me irritated!
**[07:45] Ginny**
Wow, now you're blaming your
own failures on other people?
**[07:50] Ginny**
I don't think that's very ladylike.
**[07:52] Ireena**
Don't lecture me about what's ladylike!
Not while wearing that outfit!
**[07:55] Ard**
Hey, come on you two...
**[07:57] Ireena**
At this point, we need a duel!
**[07:59] Ginny**
A duel?
**[07:59] Ireena**
That's right! I'll beat you up!
**[08:02] Ard**
Hey, hold on!
**[08:03] Ginny**
You're on.
**[08:04] Ard**
Huh?
**[08:05] Ginny**
I accept your challenge.
**[08:07] Ginny**
I'm going to win anyways.
**[08:09] Ireena**
Now you've said it!
**[08:10] Ireena**
Then if you lose,
you stop getting close to Ard!
**[08:14] Ginny**
Yes, I'll promise you that.
**[08:17] Ginny**
If you'd like, I'll even run a lap around
the capital stark naked while we're at it.
**[08:21] Ireena**
You're on!
**[08:22] Ireena**
I'll run a lap around the capital stark naked
and even eat a meat pie through my nose!
**[08:26] Ard**
Stop it!
**[08:28] Ard**
Both of you!
**[08:29] Ard**
Now sit down right there!
**[08:32] Ard**
What is all this about a duel?!
**[08:33] Ard**
You two are far too foolish,
**[08:35] Ard**
wanting to hate and injure each other
over something so minor!
**[08:38] Ard**
I will not allow the two of you to duel!
**[08:41] Ard**
Now, apologize to one another!
**[08:44] Ard**
Otherwise I'll make you go without dinner!
**[08:49] Ireena**
I-I'm sorry, Ginny.
**[08:51] Ireena**
I didn't mean to get so mad.
**[08:53] Ginny**
I-I'm sorry, too.
**[08:56] Ginny**
I let the mood get the better of me.
**[09:02] Jessica**
I've heard your dilemma!
**[09:04] Ard/Gin/Ireena**
Professor Jessica?!
**[09:08] Jessica**
If a duel is off the table,
**[09:09] Jessica**
then why not participate in the event?
**[09:11] Both**
Event?
**[09:13] Jessica**
Yes.
**[09:13] Jessica**
The upcoming battle event we'll be holding.
**[09:16] Jessica**
If you both win your way up the bracket
and settle your fight there,
**[09:19] Jessica**
then even Ardy can't complain, right?
**[09:21] Jessica**
Plus, if you two participate and do well,
**[09:25] Jessica**
then it will help our plans to
make Ardy an instructor succeed!
**[09:30] Ard**
Huh?
**[09:31] Both**
Plans to make him an instructor?
**[09:33] Ard**
Wh-What is this about?
**[09:34] Jessica**
The position of student is no longer
fitting for someone like you.
**[09:38] Jessica**
You ought to join us and take
up the role of educator.
**[09:43] Jessica**
Or so the Headmaster was saying.
**[09:48] Ard**
Headmaster!
**[09:50] Ireena**
But how does that involve us?
**[09:52] Jessica**
If the two of you who received training
from Ardy perform well and win,
**[09:56] Jessica**
then it would prove Ardy's ability to lead.
**[09:59] Both**
I see.
**[10:01] Jessica**
So with that said, you two,
**[10:02] Jessica**
would you participate in the event for us?
**[10:05] Ireena**
B-But Ard always says...
**[10:07] Ireena**
that power isn't meant to be flaunted.
**[10:11] Ireena**
He says it's meant to protect others,
**[10:13] Ireena**
or to carry out one's own convictions.
**[10:17] Ginny**
Yeah...
**[10:19] Ard**
That's exactly right, Miss Ireena.
**[10:21] Ard**
Besides, I've already—
**[10:22] Jessica**
By the way, new instructors get
to wear really cool uniforms, too!
**[10:27] Jessica**
Of course, that would include Ardy.
**[10:30] Jessica**
Don't you two want to see it?
**[10:31] Ireena/Ginny**
We do!
**[10:32] Ard**
Hey!
**[10:34] Ireena**
If I'm participating, then I'm going to win!
**[10:37] Ginny**
I won't lose, Miss Ireena!
**[10:42] Both**
Let's both fight fair and square!
**[10:46] Jessica**
My, oh my! I can't wait for
the day of the battle event.
**[10:50] Jessica**
Truly.
**[11:16] Announcer**
Whoa!
**[11:18] Announcer**
And here comes contestant
Lemming's splendid attack!
**[11:21] Announcer**
Now, how do our three guest commentators
view the developments we've seen so far?
**[11:26] Weiss**
Miss Lemming's skill with offensive
magic is certainly astonishing.
**[11:31] Weiss**
Though her opponent, Miss Lizzie,
is showing wonderful astuteness.
**[11:35] Weiss**
It's hard to say which way
this match will play out yet.
**[11:39] Announcer**
I see. And what do the two Meteors think?
**[11:43] Jack**
I still can't quite get excited for this.
**[11:45] Jack**
Maybe if one of them was
beefy, like a gorilla...
**[11:49] Announcer**
I-I see.
**[11:51] Carla**
These girls are rather nice!
**[11:54] Carla**
Their breast sizes and
butt shapes are perfect!
**[11:58] Carla**
Once this is over,
perhaps I'll go speak to them.
**[12:02] Ard**
*My stupid parents are the worst...*
**[12:06] Olivia**
Still, they're wonderful
students, aren't they?
**[12:09] Ard**
Yes, absolutely.
**[12:11] Olivia**
*Those two are talented enough that*
**[12:13] Olivia**
* Alvarto would want to take them*
* as his pupils, aren't they?*
**[12:17] Ard**
Well, I have never met this
Alvarto, so I couldn't say.
**[12:24] Olivia**
I guess you haven't.
**[12:33] Judge**
Match over!
**[12:35] Judge**
Winner, contestant Lizzie!
**[12:37] Lizzie**
I did it!
**[12:37] Announcer**
That was a splendid turnaround
from contestant Lizzie!
**[12:41] Staff**
Contestant Ireena, you're up.
**[12:43] Ireena**
Y-Yes!
**[13:04] Ard**
* I suppose I should pray for their*
* victory as their guardian or teacher,*
**[13:10] Ard**
* but with the plan to make me an instructor*
* at hand, I can't quite do it.*
**[13:14] Ard**
* I hope they both lose with*
* as few injuries as possible.*
**[13:34] Ard**
*I hope they lose.*
**[13:35] Ireena**
Ard!
**[13:47] Opponent**
Huh?!
**[13:57] Judge**
Match over!
**[13:58] Judge**
Winner, contestant Ireena!
**[14:06] Ireena**
I did it!
**[14:09] Ireena**
I won, Ard!
**[14:19] Ginny**
Impressive, Miss Ireena.
**[14:25] Ireena**
Thanks.
**[14:26] Ireena**
When we fight, it will be at the finals.
**[14:29] Ireena**
I hope we both last that long.
**[14:33] Ginny**
Of course.
**[14:55] Announcer**
That's the match!
**[14:57] Announcer**
Contestant Ginny wins!
**[14:59] Announcer**
This means the final match will be between
contestant Ginny and contestant Ireena!
**[15:10] Announcer**
Although Miss Ireena has shown
wonderful talent here,
**[15:14] Announcer**
she didn't let the other students get close.
**[15:20] (Flashback) Friends**
Scary...
**[15:27] Announcer**
Um, Baron Olhyde?
**[15:29] Weiss**
R-Right.
**[15:31] Weiss**
Though I believe Ardy's
instruction played a big role.
**[15:34] Weiss**
Ardy has constantly been teaching
Ireena since the day they met.
**[15:39] Weiss**
I find it rather ominous that
Ardy possesses such leadership skills.
**[15:45] Announcer**
Now! We're finally about
to start the last match!
**[15:54] Ireena**
I will not lose!
**[15:57] Ginny**
That's my line!
**[16:00] Olivia**
Hmph, now this looks like
a fight worth watching.
**[16:04] Ard**
Indeed.
**[16:09] Judge**
Now then, let the final battle commence!
**[16:38] Announcer**
Wh-What's this?!
**[17:04] Jessica**
Looks like this isn't the only
place they decided to run amok.
**[17:07] Jessica**
Anyway, there's no time to
investigate. Let's split up.
**[17:11] Jessica**
I'll take both Ireeny and
Ginny to go handle it.
**[17:14] Jessica**
Ardy, you and Lady Olivia will each go alone.
**[17:17] Jessica**
Sound good?
**[17:18] Olivia**
Mhmm.
**[17:20] Jack**
Ard!
**[17:20] Jack**
We're going with you!
**[17:23] Carla**
Maybe I'll go all-out like I used to.
**[17:25] Ard**
No, if you do that, you'll
blow up the royal capital.
**[17:29] Jessica**
Then let's spread out.
**[17:59] Ginny**
Miss Ireena!
**[18:00] Ireena**
Hurry up and get back up!
**[18:02] Ireena**
If you let yourself get taken out here,
**[18:04] Ireena**
then we'll never be able to settle our match!
**[18:09] Ginny**
That's right!
**[18:23] Ireena**
Th-This is...
**[18:32] Ginny**
You mustn't falter, Miss Ireena!
**[18:45] Ginny**
No way!
**[18:50] Weiss**
Don't lay a hand on my daughter!
**[18:52] Ireena**
Papa!
**[18:53] Weiss**
Both of you, step back!
**[19:15] Ireena**
Papa!
**[19:17] Weiss**
The suffering you feel is the weight
of having dared attack my daughter!
**[19:36] Ginny**
The Heroic Baron is incredible!
**[19:40] Ireena**
Of course he is!
**[19:41] Ireena**
He's my papa, after all!
**[19:43] Jessica**
Yes.
**[19:44] Jessica**
Roughly all as planned.
**[19:59] Ireena**
Papa!
**[20:02] Ginna**
Professor Jessica, why?!
**[20:05] Jessica**
Sorry.
**[20:07] Jessica**
Too bad for you that
I'm not Professor Jessica.
**[20:13] Jessica**
My true name is Elzard,
the Frenzied King of Dragons.
**[20:18] Elzard**
Ireena, all of this was to capture you.
**[20:24] Elzard**
There's no need to fear.
**[20:26] Elzard**
We wouldn't want you dying on us.
**[20:28] Elzard**
If you come along quietly
we won't have to hurt you.
**[20:32] Elzard**
For now.
**[20:39] Ireena**
Ginny!
**[20:40] Ginny**
P-Please run!
**[20:42] Ginny**
Miss Ireena, I'll hold her off!
**[20:46] Elzard**
Good grief.
**[20:58] Elzard**
This is a perfect chance to show
you how futile it is to resist me.
**[21:07] Ireena**
Don't you dare hurt my friend!
**[21:20] Ireena**
Go ahead and take me away!
**[21:23] Ireena**
But if you dare harm Ginny...
**[21:26] Ireena**
then I'll bite my tongue and die!
**[21:29] Elzard**
Now that pisses me off.
**[21:31] Elzard**
I really do hate you.
**[21:42] Ginny**
Miss Ireena!
**[21:44] Elzard**
You escaped death this time, Ginny.
**[22:00] Ginny**
Miss... Ireena!

**[00:05] Weiss**
Where I am?
**[00:06] Ard**
The nurse's office at the academy.
**[00:09] Weiss**
I see.
**[00:11] Ard**
What happened?
**[00:14] Weiss**
Ireena... was kidnapped.
**[00:17] Ard**
By whom?
**[00:19] Weiss**
The Frenzied King of Dragons, Elzard.
***SIGN*** The Greatest Demon Lord
Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody
**[01:54] Golde**
The Frenzied King of Dragons, Elzard?!
**[01:57] Golde**
The one who nearly destroyed the
world several thousand years ago?
**[02:01] Golde**
That monster on par with
demons and Evil Gods?!
**[02:04] Golde**
What does a monster like
that want with Miss Ireena?!
**[02:07] Weiss**
That's probably...
**[02:09] Ard**
That doesn't matter right now.
**[02:13] Ard**
We'll rescue Miss Ireena.
**[02:15] Ard**
No matter who we must face,
**[02:16] Ard**
that's all we should be thinking about.
**[02:18] Golde**
B-But even with your strength, that's...
**[02:22] Ard**
"Impossible" doesn't exist in my dictionary.
**[02:27] Jack**
Now that's my boy!
**[02:30] Jack**
Right, Weiss?!
**[02:35] Weiss**
I have a proposal, then.
**[02:40] Ard**
What's this?
**[02:42] Weiss**
The royal treasury.
**[02:43] Weiss**
Just use it without asking
any questions for now.
**[02:46] Weiss**
I'm entrusting everything to you.
**[02:48] Ard**
Thank you very much.
**[02:52] Jack**
Are you sure?
**[02:53] Weiss**
We have no choice but to rely on him.
**[02:55] Jack**
That's not what I mean.
**[02:57] Jack**
You're not going to tell him about you two?
**[03:01] Weiss**
Until Ireena met Ardy,
**[03:04] Weiss**
she spent all of her time
locked up in the mansion.
**[03:07] Weiss**
To her, every outsider was a source of fear.
**[03:12] Weiss**
She instinctively understood that we
couldn't keep our secret concealed forever.
**[03:18] Weiss**
That's true even now.
**[03:21] Weiss**
Yet Ireena changed after meeting Ardy.
**[03:24] Weiss**
Though even that was because he
didn't know the truth about us.
**[03:30] Weiss**
I can't bring myself to tell Ardy the truth.
**[03:35] Weiss**
How could I rob Ireena of the one friend
she's finally found for herself?
**[03:46] (Flashback) Ireena**
Will you truly be my friend?
**[03:50] (Flashback) Ireena**
No matter what happens?
**[03:52] (Flashback) Ireena**
You won't ever betray me or come to hate me?
**[03:55] (Flashback) Ard**
I swear it on the name of
the Demon Lord Varvatos.
**[03:59] (Flashback) Ireena**
On the name of Varvatos...
**[04:02] (Flashback) Ard**
I hope we can be good friends
from now on, Miss Ireena.
**[04:07] (Flashback) Ard**
By the way, I have a quick question for you.
**[04:09] (Flashback) Ireena**
What's that?
**[04:11] (Flashback) Ard**
Could you please tell me
the truth about yourself?
**[04:15] (Flashback) Ireena**
I'm actually...
**[04:30] (Flashback) Ireena**
Ard?!
**[04:36] (Flashback) Ireena**
Ard?
**[04:37] (Flashback) Ireena**
Ard!
**[04:42] Ireena**
A dream?
**[04:51] Ireena**
What's this?!
**[04:53] Elzard**
Hey there, Ireeny.
**[04:56] Elzard**
How are you feeling?
**[04:58] Elzard**
I'd like to get the ritual
started right away.
**[05:02] Ireena**
What on earth is this?!
**[05:04] Ireena**
Why am I...
**[05:05] Elzard**
Come on, you understand, don't you?
**[05:09] Elzard**
I want the blood running in your family.
**[05:13] Ireena**
How do you know about us?
**[05:17] Elzard**
Well, how do I know, indeed?
**[05:20] Elzard**
More importantly, look.
**[05:22] Elzard**
You can see it, can't you?
**[05:26] Elzard**
That's called an Orphan of Chaos.
**[05:30] Elzard**
It was created using the flesh from
**[05:32] ---**
one of the many Evil Gods that the
Demon Lord Varvatos slew long ago.
**[05:37] Elzard**
By sacrificing your blood to this
monster with the flesh of an Evil God,
**[05:43] Elzard**
I can summon one of the Evil Gods from
the dimension in which they're sealed.
**[05:51] Ireena**
For what purpose?
**[05:52] Elzard**
Now that's simple!
**[05:55] Elzard**
Because I want to destroy this world that's
gone soft with love, bonding, and friendship crap!
**[06:01] Elzard**
This disgusting world can go perish!
**[06:08] Elzard**
That's all that's driven my actions since I went
on my rampage several thousand years ago!
**[06:14] Ireena**
We won't let you do that.
**[06:16] Ireena**
Ard will...
**[06:18] Ireena**
Ard will come for me!
**[06:20] Elzard**
Will he?
**[06:23] Elzard**
Sure, he possesses inhuman strength,
**[06:26] Elzard**
but when all is said and done,
he's still human, you know.
**[06:31] Ireena**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[06:33] Elzard**
What if...
**[06:35] Elzard**
he were to learn about your secret?
**[06:38] Elzard**
What would happen then?
**[06:40] Elzard**
If he were to learn the truth,
**[06:43] Elzard**
he would come to hate you.
**[06:45] Elzard**
He would despise you as a monster.
**[07:02] Elzard**
My condolences.
**[07:05] Elzard**
Now, let's start the ritual.
**[07:20] Ginny**
Ardy!
**[07:24] Ginny**
You're going to rescue Miss Ireena, right?
**[07:28] Ard**
Yes.
**[07:29] Ard**
Though this will entail
quite a bit of danger,
**[07:32] Ard**
so I can't allow you to accompany me.
**[07:34] Ginny**
Ardy.
**[07:36] Ginny**
Ardy, you gave me strength,
**[07:40] Ginny**
and I gained confidence.
**[07:41] Ginny**
I thought I had changed.
**[07:44] Ginny**
But I couldn't make friends.
**[07:48] Ard**
Miss Ginny.
**[07:49] Ginny**
I thought that part would never change,
**[07:52] Ginny**
and I resigned myself to being alone.
**[07:57] Ginny**
But...
**[07:58] Ginny**
Miss Ireena...
**[08:02] (Flashback) Ireena**
Don't you dare hurt my friend!
**[08:07] Ginny**
Ireena called me her friend.
**[08:11] Ginny**
So...!
**[08:14] Ard**
Hmm.
**[08:15] Ard**
I should be able to make
it back by dinner time.
**[08:20] Ard**
Miss Ginny.
**[08:21] Ard**
Please prepare a delicious
dinner and wait for us.
**[08:24] Ard**
I'm sure Miss Ireena will
be hungry when we return.
**[08:31] Ard**
Now, I'm heading off.
**[08:35] Ard**
Oh, right, right.
**[08:37] Ard**
You just mentioned not
being able to make friends,
**[08:40] Ard**
but Miss Ireena's not the only one.
**[08:42] Ard**
I consider you a friend, as well.
**[08:45] Ginny**
Ardy!
**[08:47] Ard**
Once Miss Ireena's back, let's laugh
and do silly things together again.
**[08:54] Ginny**
Yes!
**[09:06] Ireena**
No!
**[09:06] Ireena**
No! Stay away!
**[09:09] Ireena**
Stay away!
**[09:20] Elzard**
You monsters make a perfect pair!
**[09:57] Ireena**
Ard!
**[09:58] Elzard**
So you came, Ard Meteor!
**[10:03] Ard**
Good day, you worms.
**[10:10] Ard**
You've certainly done it this time.
**[10:13] Ard**
I have no intention of letting
a single one of you escape,
**[10:16] Ard**
so prepare yourselves.
**[10:21] DemonLeader**
Don't panic!
**[10:25] DemonLeader**
A-A Nine Cast?!
**[10:38] Ard**
Miss Ireena, I'm sorry I was late.
**[10:46] Ireena**
Ard!
**[10:49] Ireena**
I was so scared!
**[10:58] Elzard**
Not bad.
**[11:01] Elzard**
Yeah, it's been a long time
since I've felt this way.
**[11:05] Elzard**
I could go mad.
**[11:18] Ard**
Please don't worry.
**[11:19] Ard**
I assure you a lizard like
this is no match for me.
**[11:24] Elzard**
Look at you, showing off.
**[11:26] Elzard**
You like that monster that much?
**[11:29] Ard**
Monster?
**[11:31] Elzard**
That woman isn't as pure as you think she is.
**[11:36] Elzard**
She may be going by Olhyde now,
**[11:39] Elzard**
but that's just a fake name.
**[11:40] Ireena**
Stop!
**[11:41] Ireena**
Don't say it!
**[11:43] Elzard**
Her true name is Laville.
**[11:46] Elzard**
The true royalty.
**[11:48] Elzard**
And that girl...
**[11:54] Elzard**
carries the blood of the Evil Gods.
**[12:01] Weiss**
With this world's religion
centered around the Demon Lord,
**[12:05] Weiss**
all of the "Evil Gods" have
become subjects of hatred.
**[12:09] Weiss**
If the world were to learn
that our royal family
**[12:11] Weiss**
is descended from those Evil Gods,
**[12:13] Weiss**
it could overthrow the entire nation.
**[12:16] Jack**
So that's why you rule
indirectly through proxies.
**[12:22] Weiss**
Yes.
**[12:23] Weiss**
Though because of that,
**[12:25] Weiss**
my daughter and I have also been
forced to hide our true identities.
**[12:29] Jack**
Yeah, Ard doesn't know that you two
are this country's true royalty.
**[12:35] Weiss**
Because of that, my daughter...
**[12:37] Weiss**
might lose the first friend she's ever had.
**[12:46] Elzard**
Just so you know, that's the truth!
**[12:48] Elzard**
That's why Lars al Ghoul went after her!
**[12:52] Ard**
None of that even matters.
**[12:55] Elzard**
What was that?
**[12:57] Ard**
It doesn't matter if she's descended from
Evil Gods, or even an Evil God herself.
**[13:02] Ard**
What does matter
**[13:03] Ard**
is that she is kinder and more
courageous than anyone else!
**[13:07] Ard**
She is worthy of love and respect!
**[13:10] Ard**
To a man like me, she's truly radiant.
**[13:13] Ard**
She's like the sun.
**[13:16] Ard**
Yet you call her monster.
**[13:18] Ard**
You dismiss her with such
a discriminatory remark.
**[13:22] Ard**
I will never forgive you for that.
**[13:25] Elzard**
Now I want to see your face
twisted with despair even more.
**[13:37] Elzard**
That's odd.
**[13:38] Elzard**
It didn't look like you
activated any defensive magic.
**[13:41] Elzard**
Which means...
**[13:42] Elzard**
That spear...
**[13:43] Ard**
This spear has the ability to
nullify lightning attack spells.
**[13:48] Elzard**
Did you think that would be
enough to make me despair?
**[13:56] Ard**
Miss Elzard,
**[13:57] Ard**
you're not watching your feet.
**[14:09] Ard**
The way you fight is largely shaped by the
flaw unique to those with absolute power.
**[14:14] Ard**
When you have never experienced
a hard fought battle,
**[14:17] Ard**
your tactics become monotonous.
**[14:21] Ard**
If you ask me,
**[14:23] Ard**
the strong lack a sense of danger.
**[14:26] Ard**
Even now you seem to think that
you aren't going to die.
**[14:31] Elzard**
So what?!
**[14:33] Ard**
Allow me to say it clearly.
**[14:36] Ard**
There is nothing in this world
that cannot be destroyed.
**[14:49] Ireena**
Ard!
**[14:51] Ireena**
Thank goodness you're not hurt!
**[14:53] Ireena**
Thank goodness!
**[14:55] Ard**
Wait.
**[15:01] Elzard**
Ard Meteor!
**[15:05] Elzard**
It's not over!
**[15:06] Elzard**
It's not finished yet!
**[15:12] Ard**
Good grief.
**[15:13] Ard**
No one likes an insistent woman.
**[15:19] Elzard**
Begone!
**[15:23] Ard**
Miss Ireena.
**[15:25] Ard**
I would prefer it if you please
not watch the battle from here.
**[15:28] Ireena**
Ard?
**[15:29] Ard**
That past of old is pain.
**[15:32] Ard**
That is the life of a pathetic man.
**[15:34] Ard**
That one is alone.
**[15:36] Ard**
Even though there are those who follow him,
**[15:37] Ard**
none rule together with him.
**[15:40] Ard**
No one understands him.
**[15:42] Ard**
Everyone leaves him.
**[15:45] Ard**
Even his one and only friend tossed him away.
**[15:47] Ard**
He sinks into a sea of madness and isolation.
**[15:52] Elzard**
Despair, Ard Meteor!
**[15:55] Ard**
There will be no relief in such an end.
**[15:58] Ard**
It will be death by drowning
in anguish and despair.
**[16:02] Ard**
Surely that will be...
**[16:04] Ard**
The Story of a Lonely King.
**[16:04] Ard**
Private Kingdom.
**[16:08] Ireena**
Th-This is...
**[16:11] Lydia**
Threat designation: Level 3.
**[16:13] Lydia**
Releasing limiters by 15%.
**[16:17] Lydia**
Commencing defensive action.
**[16:33] Elzard**
What is that?!
**[16:34] Elzard**
Who on earth are you?!
**[16:36] Ard**
Shall we dance for the first
time in a while, Lydia?
**[16:39] Lydia**
Yes, my lord.
**[16:47] Ard**
I'm just a villager!
**[16:50] Ard**
But I'll fight you in your arena.
**[16:53] Ard**
Now keep up, scumbag!
**[16:55] Elzard**
You're challenging a dragon
to an aerial battle?!
**[16:57] Elzard**
Such arrogance!
**[16:58] Elzard**
I'll make you pay with your life!
**[17:05] Lydia**
Magic reaction from below.
**[17:06] Lydia**
High probability of circle
formation in 0.2 seconds.
**[17:14] Lydia**
Thermal reaction from left and right.
**[17:16] Lydia**
Direct hit imminent in 3
seconds at current speed.
**[17:20] Ard**
Construct the acceleration spell.
**[17:22] Ard**
We'll counterattack after dodging.
**[17:23] Lydia**
Yes, my lord.
**[17:29] Ard**
Lydia, ready Code Alpha!
**[17:33] Lydia**
Affirmative.
**[17:34] Lydia**
Stand by for Executioner Ray.
**[17:37] Lydia**
Complete. Ready to fire.
**[17:41] Elzard**
Too slow, too slow!
**[17:42] Elzard**
Not enough!
**[17:45] Elzard**
That was easy.
**[17:47] Elzard**
You'll be way happier off dying here.
**[17:51] Elzard**
Your Ireeny is a monster,
**[17:53] Elzard**
but you're on another level!
**[17:57] Elzard**
You're both the same, and you'll
never be able to stay friends.
**[18:01] Elzard**
She will come to fear you and
betray you without hesitation.
**[18:08] Elzard**
There is no love or friendship in this world!
**[18:13] Ireena**
Ard...
**[18:18] Elzard**
Now die in isolation!
**[18:20] Elzard**
That's a fitting end for you!
**[18:23] Ireena**
Ard!
**[18:26] Ireena**
You can do it!
**[18:28] Ireena**
Don't you go losing to
someone like her, you hear?!
**[18:34] Ard**
You've made one mistake.
**[18:36] Ard**
I'm not alone anymore.
**[18:41] Ard**
Lydia, ready Phase II!
**[18:44] Lydia**
Roger.
**[18:45] Lydia**
Shifting to Brave Demon
Full Body, Second Form.
**[18:57] Lydia**
Analysis complete.
**[18:59] Lydia**
Activating Magic Canceller.
**[19:08] Elzard**
It's over, Ard Meteor!
**[19:17] Elzard**
What on earth?!
**[19:20] Ard**
Analyze, understand, and control.
**[19:23] Ard**
That's the essence of how I fight.
**[19:25] Ard**
I understand everything about you now.
**[19:28] Ard**
Not just the way you structure your magic.
**[19:31] Ard**
Even your true, inner feelings.
**[19:33] Elzard**
Huh?!
**[19:34] Ard**
Ultimately, you just hated the fact
that world forced you into solitude
**[19:39] ---**
all by yourself, didn't you?
**[19:43] Ard**
But I won't forgive you for dragging my
friend into such retaliatory destruction.
**[19:51] Ard**
Frenzied Dragon King, perish in despair.
**[19:55] Elzard**
This is the first time
**[19:57] Elzard**
I've ever felt so furious!
**[20:01] Ard**
Ready Code Sigma.
**[20:04] Lydia**
Affirmative.
**[20:05] Lydia**
Preparing Ultimatum Zero.
**[20:10] Lydia**
Magical energy charge at 40 percent.
**[20:13] Lydia**
Fifty percent...
**[20:15] Elzard**
Elsym Rufasa Ulvis Azra!
**[20:19] Lydia**
Eighty percent...
**[20:21] Lydia**
Ninety percent...
**[20:24] Lydia**
Charge has reached 100 percent.
**[20:27] Lydia**
What shall we do now?
**[20:28] Ard**
No other choice.
**[20:29] Ard**
Ultimatum Zero.
**[20:34] Ard**
Fire!
**[20:48] Elzard**
Am I dying?
**[20:51] Elzard**
Ard Meteor...
**[20:53] Elzard**
You killed...?
**[21:01] Ard**
Lydia.
**[21:02] Ard**
Thank you for your help.
**[21:04] Ard**
Now return inside my soul.
**[21:07] Lydia**
Yes, my lord.
**[21:22] Ard**
Miss Ireena.
**[21:24] Ireena**
M-Man, you really are incredible, Ard!
**[21:29] Ard**
So, Miss Ireena...
**[21:31] Ard**
Will you continue to be my friend?
**[21:34] Ireena**
Of course I will!
**[21:35] Ireena**
I look forward to it, Ard!
**[21:39] Ard**
Thanks.
**[21:41] Ard**
Well, we should hurry back.
**[21:43] Ard**
Miss Ginny should be preparing us dinner.
**[21:48] Ireena**
*What am I even thinking?*
**[21:50] Ireena**
* Ard said he was my friend even*
* after learning my secret.*
**[21:56] Ireena**
*I have to get stronger.*
**[22:00] Ireena**
*I have to become stronger than anyone else,*
**[22:02] Ireena**
*so I can stand beside Ard.*
**[22:04] Ireena**
*Then I'm sure he'll...*

***SIGN*** The Greatest Demon Lord
Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody
**[02:15] Sylphy**
Wh-What is all this?!
**[02:26] CoachmanA E6**
Watch it, bumpkin!
**[02:28] CoachmanA E6**
Pay more attention!
**[02:28] Sylphy**
B-Bumpkin?! How rude!
**[02:31] Coachman B E6**
Move it, move it, out of the way!
**[02:37] Sylphy**
C-Can things change this
drastically in three years?
**[02:41] Sylphy**
What ever happened to our
battle against the Evil Gods?
**[02:47] Masked Man**
Glad to see you in good health
and just as you were before,
**[02:51] Masked Man**
Lady Sylphy Marheaven.
**[02:54] Sylphy**
Who are you?
**[02:56] Masked Man**
Your rigorous training must
have been truly taxing.
**[03:00] Masked Man**
I must say, I am impressed that you
would dedicate 3,000 long years to it.
**[03:06] Sylphy**
Huh?!
**[03:07] Sylphy**
Th-Three thousand years?
**[03:09] Sylphy**
What do you mean?
**[03:10] Sylphy**
I thought it was three years?
**[03:12] Masked Man**
Pardon?
**[03:13] Masked Man**
Were you not aware that time flows
much differently within that dungeon
**[03:17] Masked Man**
when you set out to train in it?
**[03:20] Sylphy**
Huh?!
**[03:21] Sylphy**
U-Uh, o-of course I knew that!
**[03:25] Sylphy**
It looks like the world has changed a lot!
**[03:27] Masked Man**
Indeed.
**[03:29] Masked Man**
I must say the world has grown quite dull.
**[03:33] Sylphy**
H-Hold on a second!
**[03:36] Sylphy**
Hey, who are you?
**[03:39] Sylphy**
How do you know my name?
**[03:41] Sylphy**
You're acting overly-familiar.
**[03:43] Masked Man**
My apologies. I was feeling
talkative, since we're old friends.
**[03:49] Sylphy**
We know each other?
**[03:51] Sylphy**
Now that you mention it,
you seem kind of familiar...
**[03:54] Masked Man**
Indeed we do.
**[03:56] Masked Man**
You seem to have forgotten, Lady Sylphy,
**[03:58] ---**
but I originally served Varvatos as my
master alongside Lydia Viigensgeight.
**[04:03] Sylphy**
Varvatos?!
**[04:05] Sylphy**
What is he up to now?!
**[04:10] Masked Man**
That man is
**[04:12] Masked Man**
already dead.
**[04:15] Sylphy**
He died?
**[04:17] Sylphy**
The Demon Lord died?
**[04:19] Sylphy**
Then what about everyone else?
**[04:21] Sylphy**
What happened to Big Sis?!
**[04:24] Masked Man**
Your surprise is understandable.
**[04:27] Masked Man**
The demon lord truly is dead.
**[04:30] Masked Man**
However, his soul has been reincarnated
into this world once more.
**[04:35] Sylphy**
Reincarnated?
**[04:36] Masked Man**
Indeed.
**[04:37] Masked Man**
If you wish to learn of Lady Lydia's
past and her current condition,
**[04:41] Masked Man**
I believe asking that reincarnation
would be the quickest way.
**[04:45] Masked Man**
The reincarnation has abandoned his past
and his duties as Demon Lord Varvatos,
**[04:48] Masked Man**
and now enjoys a tranquil life
under the name Ard Meteor.
**[04:58] Sylphy**
Ard Meteor...
**[05:08] Golde**
Let me get straight to the point.
**[05:10] Golde**
One month from now,
**[05:11] Golde**
our Laville Magic Academy plans
to host a school festival.
**[05:15] Golde**
Alternatively, it will be
an opportunity for students
**[05:18] Golde**
to display the results of their education,
**[05:20] Golde**
as well as an important opportunity for us
to welcome visitors from far and wide.
**[05:25] Ginny**
He means it's a chance to earn money.
**[05:29] Golde**
Since this year marks our
100th year anniversary, as well,
**[05:31] Golde**
we intend to put on a show in addition to the Sword King Battle Tournament
**[05:34] Golde**
as our main attractions.
**[05:36] Ireena**
A play?!
**[05:37] Ireena**
I love plays!
**[05:38] Ireena**
Just the other day, Ard, Ginny,
and I went to see one!
**[05:42] Golde**
That's convenient.
**[05:43] Golde**
I won't force you to participate in
the battle tournament, but in return,
**[05:46] Golde**
I would you like to ask for
your participation in the show.
**[05:48] Golde**
How about it, Ardy?
**[05:50] Ard**
I see, you're making a deal...
**[05:53] Ard**
Miss Ireena, Miss Ginny,
how do you feel about it?
**[05:56] Ireena**
I want to do it!
**[05:57] Ireena**
I've always admired actresses!
**[06:00] Ginny**
If you and Miss Ireena are
both going on stage,
**[06:03] Ginny**
then I would love to help you!
**[06:05] Golde**
The royal capital is currently
raving with talk of Ardy,
**[06:09] Golde**
so we're sure to sell out,
which lets us rest easy...
**[06:13] Golde**
Or so I'd like to say,
**[06:14] Golde**
if not for one other concern.
**[06:17] Ard**
What's this?
**[06:18] Golde**
A threatening letter.
**[06:20] Both**
A threatening letter?
**[06:22] Golde**
In short, they're demanding
we cancel the school festival.
**[06:26] Golde**
Every year there's been some harassment,
so it's not an unusual matter.
**[06:30] Golde**
What makes this one unusual...
**[06:33] Ard**
...is that it's written on parchment
made of human skin, correct?
**[06:37] Ard**
The sender...
**[06:39] Ard**
is Lars Al Ghoul?
**[06:42] Golde**
Ardy, I'd like to ask you to participate
in the play and patrol the entire school.
**[06:48] Golde**
I'm asking this because I know you possess
the means to fend off this threat.
**[06:52] Golde**
If something were to happen in
the middle of the performance,
**[06:55] Golde**
our typical student wouldn't stand a chance.
**[06:59] Ireena**
We've got it!
**[07:00] Ireena**
Ard would never give in to such a threat!
**[07:03] Ireena**
Just leave this to us!
**[07:05] Ard**
Please hold on.
**[07:06] Ard**
Risking myself is one thing,
**[07:08] Ard**
but I can't put the two
of you in danger, as well.
**[07:10] Ireena**
Don't worry!
**[07:11] Ireena**
Both Ginny and I will fight alongside you!
**[07:14] Ginny**
You just worry about showing
off how cool you are, Ardy!
**[07:20] Ard**
*These two...*
**[07:21] Ard**
Even so, there aren't not enough of
us to patrol the entire school.
**[07:25] Ard**
We can't round up the common
students to help, either.
**[07:28] Golde**
Of course, Miss Olivia will be working
with you to devise countermeasures.
**[07:32] Golde**
She's been recruiting those
who might be able to help you,
**[07:36] Golde**
and she's busy conducting
interviews right now.
**[07:41] Ard**
* I don't believe that Olivia simply*
* wants to help or to protect us.*
**[07:45] Ard**
*I'm sure she's plotting something.*
**[07:50] Ireena**
I'm excited!
**[07:51] Ireena**
I wonder what story would
be good for the play?
**[07:54] Ginny**
Perhaps the tales of Demon Lord
Varvatos's magnificent adventures?
**[07:59] Ireena**
You think so, too, huh, Ginny?
**[08:01] Ginny**
Yes!
**[08:02] Sylphy**
Where is Ard Meteor?!
**[08:08] Ard**
*S-Sylphy?!*
**[08:11] Sylphy**
Is it you?!
**[08:12] Male Student A E6**
N-N-No, it's not!
**[08:13] Sylphy**
You, then?
**[08:14] Sylphy**
When I find out where you're hiding
I'm going to beat you to a pulp!
**[08:19] Sylphy**
Show yourself!
**[08:21] Sylphy**
Ard—
**[08:24] Sylphy**
That was mean, Olivia!
**[08:27] Olivia**
Your fault for making a scene.
**[08:29] Olivia**
Good grief, you haven't matured
at all over the last 3,000 years.
**[08:33] Ard**
Mhmm.
**[08:35] Sylphy**
You there! You just nodded, didn't you?!
**[08:37] Ard**
Huh?
**[08:38] Ard**
You're Ard Meteor, aren't you?
**[08:40] Ard**
The reincarnation of Demon Lord Varvatos!
**[08:43] Ard**
Huh?!
**[08:44] Sylphy**
What on earth happened here
while I was away training?
**[08:48] Sylphy**
Where's Big Sis Lydia?
**[08:49] Sylphy**
What happened to the Evil Gods?
**[08:51] Sylphy**
You're going to tell me everything!
**[08:53] Ard**
N-No, I have no idea what's going on here...
**[08:56] Sylphy**
It's no use playing dumb!
**[08:58] Sylphy**
I've done my research!
**[09:00] Ard**
*H-How does she know I've reincarnated?*
**[09:03] Ard**
* I thought she left to train in a dungeon before*
* the final battle and went missing after that.*
**[09:09] Ireena**
Ard's the Demon Lord?
**[09:11] Ginny**
I never thought of that idea.
**[09:13] Ginny**
But thinking about it, that makes sense!
**[09:16] Ard**
*Huh?!*
**[09:17] Olivia**
Sylphy, you say you've done your research,
so tell me more about that.
**[09:21] Sylphy**
Well, Ard Meteor?!
**[09:23] Sylphy**
If you don't intend to answer me,
then I'll just force you to tell me!
**[09:27] Ard**
I don't understand why you burst
in here saying all these things.
**[09:30] Sylphy**
Oh?
**[09:32] Sylphy**
Is the Demon Lord running away?
**[09:34] Ard**
This isn't even a matter of running away...
**[09:37] Sylphy**
Honestly, that's so pathetic.
**[09:39] Sylphy**
If it were me,
**[09:40] Sylphy**
I'd be too embarrassed to go on living!
**[09:45] Ireena**
Why, you... You just come in
spouting whatever you please!
**[09:49] Ireena**
If you want a duel that badly,
**[09:50] Ireena**
then I'll take you on in Ard's place!
**[09:53] Sylphy**
Huh?
**[10:03] Sylphy**
Wh-Who are you to Ard Meteor?
**[10:06] Ireena**
His friend!
**[10:07] Ireena**
His one and only best friend!
**[10:09] Ireena**
There's no one who's a closer
friend to him than me,
**[10:12] Ireena**
and all of his other friends come after me!
**[10:15] Ireena**
That's who I am to him!
**[10:17] Sylphy**
R-Really?
**[10:19] Sylphy**
Hmm...
**[10:20] Sylphy**
Y-You...
**[10:22] Sylphy**
are going to be my friend!
**[10:26] Ireena**
No way!
**[10:28] Sylphy**
I-I guess I'll have to duel you and
make you spill everything, then!
**[10:35] Olivia**
Very well, then!
**[10:37] Olivia**
We're changing today's
class to swordsmanship!
**[10:39] Ard**
No, wait, please hold on, Lady Olivia!
**[10:42] Sylphy**
My, my, what's the matter, Ard Meteor?
**[10:45] Sylphy**
Losing your nerve again, like old times?
**[10:48] Sylphy**
You always got a tummy ache at
truly crucial moments, didn't you?
**[10:52] Ard**
*This bitch!*
**[10:53] Ard**
*I won't fall for it.*
**[10:55] Ard**
*Calm down.*
**[10:56] Olivia**
What's the matter, Ard Meteor?
**[10:58] Olivia**
Why are you hesitating to practice with her?
**[11:01] Olivia**
Why not just teach her a lesson
like you did with Elraldo Spencer?
**[11:07] Ard**
* This woman's planning to use Sylphy*
* to see if I'm the Demon Lord or not.*
**[11:13] Ard**
All right, then I'll humbly accept.
**[11:16] Ard**
*Oh, well. At this point...*
**[11:19] Ard**
* I'll just have to put my all*
* into losing spectacularly.*
**[11:23] Ard**
*That's my only choice!*
**[11:26] Ireena**
Go get her, Ard!
**[11:27] Ireena**
You can beat that girl up in three seconds!
**[11:33] Sylphy**
I'll beat you black and blue!
**[11:49] Student A E6**
W-Wow!
**[11:50] Student B E6**
What's with those two?!
**[11:53] Ard**
*This isn't good.*
**[11:54] Ard**
* Our fighting is too high-level,*
* so it's automatically*
**[11:57] Ard**
*raising everyone's opinion of me.*
**[11:58] Sylphy**
What's the matter?
**[12:00] Sylphy**
Spooked by the evolution
of my technique, perhaps?
**[12:03] Ard**
*Grr!*
**[12:04] Sylphy**
Well, you could reincarnate millions of times
and you still wouldn't be a match for me.
**[12:11] Sylphy**
Poor thing.
**[12:13] Ard**
* No, I can't let myself*
* get drawn into her pace!*
**[12:18] Ard**
* I'll just a land a single light*
* blow on her, and then I'll lose.*
**[12:23] Ard**
* Looks like she still hasn't fixed her habit*
* of letting her body list after thrusting.*
**[12:28] Ard**
*You're wide open, just like old times!*
**[12:33] Sylphy**
I've already seen through
what you're planning!
**[12:49] Olivia**
The match goes to Ard Meteor.
**[12:52] Students**
Whoa!
**[12:53] Ireena**
Well, that's what I expected!
**[12:55] Ginny**
Ardy, that was wonderful!
**[12:57] Ard**
*I went and did it.*
**[12:59] Ard**
*I let myself get baited by her.*
**[13:02] Ard**
*I was just planning to get her a little,*
**[13:04] Ard**
*but I let myself get serious...*
**[13:06] Ard**
*I guess her training wasn't all for show.*
**[13:09] Sylphy**
I-I don't accept that!
**[13:12] Sylphy**
I won't accept that!
**[13:14] Sylphy**
I've gotten stronger!
**[13:16] Sylphy**
Far stronger than the Demon Lord!
**[13:19] Sylphy**
Demise-Argis!
**[13:30] Ard**
That's...!
**[13:31] Sylphy**
I haven't lost yet!
**[13:34] Sylphy**
Vel Stena...
**[13:35] Ard**
Stop!
**[13:36] Ard**
Don't use that technique here!
**[13:38] Sylphy**
Olvidis!
**[13:57] Sylphy**
D-Don't get so full of yourself!
**[14:02] Olivia**
That's enough, Sylphy Marheaven!
**[14:05] Olivia**
Look around you!
**[14:07] Sylphy**
Huh?!
**[14:14] Olivia**
That sword disperses poisonous
mana with its slashes.
**[14:18] Olivia**
You forgot about that and let
your emotions control you.
**[14:21] Olivia**
You haven't changed at all since then.
**[14:23] Olivia**
You're still a foolish child!
**[14:25] Sylphy**
I-I, um...
**[14:28] Olivia**
How do you think Lydia would
react if she saw you just now?!
**[14:33] Sylphy**
Why do you have to go so far?
**[14:35] Sylphy**
That's nothing compared to
what Demon Lord Varvatos did!
**[14:42] Ireena**
When you do something bad, you apologize!
**[14:45] Ireena**
I get that you're strong now,
**[14:47] Ireena**
but that's all the more reason you
shouldn't hurt others with your strength!
**[14:57] (Flashback) Lydia**
What is your monstrous strength even for?
**[15:00] (Flashback) Lydia**
Think about that a damn bit!
**[15:03] (Flashback) Sylphy**
I'm shorry!
**[15:12] Ireena**
There, there, so long as you understand.
**[15:24] Ard**
My apologies for taking up
everyone's time this afternoon.
**[15:28] Ard**
But I would like for us to discuss
the upcoming school festival.
**[15:31] Ard**
This time, in addition to the
annual battle tournament,
**[15:34] Ard**
our class will be leading the school
in the production of a play.
**[15:39] Ard**
In my opinion,
**[15:40] Ard**
I believe a signature chapter of
**[15:42] Ard**
the *Demon Lord's Adventures*
would be most suitable to perform.
**[15:47] Ginny**
I think the tale of the Demon Lord and the
Hero conquering an Evil God would be best!
**[15:51] Ard**
Well,
**[15:52] Ard**
as far as tales of adventure go,
**[15:54] Ard**
we'll want to include the three main
elements of departure, initiation, and return,
**[15:59] Ard**
but as for specifics...
**[16:01] Ard**
Hm?
**[16:02] Ard**
We're missing a student, aren't we?
**[16:04] Ireena**
Now that you mention it, she's not here.
**[16:06] Sylphy**
Huh?!
**[16:07] Sylphy**
Say that one more damn time, go on!
**[16:10] Ard**
*Her, huh?*
**[16:14] Ireena**
Sylphy!
**[16:16] Sylphy**
B-Big Sis Ireena?!
**[16:18] Ireena**
What's going on here?
**[16:20] Sylphy**
W-Well, um...
**[16:22] Sylphy**
It's their fault!
**[16:23] Sylphy**
That's right!
**[16:24] Sylphy**
These guys came and started making fun of me!
**[16:26] Sylphy**
Saying I was a commoner and getting cocky!
**[16:28] Ireena**
Is that true?
**[16:30] Noble Student A**
What's this nonsense about making fun of you?
**[16:33] Noble Student A**
We were just stating the facts.
**[16:35] Noble Student A**
Our class of nobles, Class A,
**[16:38] Noble Student A**
will earn the most praise and profit
**[16:41] Noble Student A**
at this school's memorable 100th
anniversary school festival.
**[16:44] Sylphy**
Huh?!
**[16:45] Sylphy**
Awfully confident, aren't you?!
**[16:47] Noble Student B**
For one thing, there's a hard difference
between noble and commoner.
**[16:52] Noble Student B**
No matter how hard you commoners work,
**[16:53] Noble Student B**
you'll never measure up to a noble.
**[16:56] Ireena**
You quit spouting stupid nonsense!
**[16:59] Ireena**
Labeling people as noble or commoner
**[17:01] Ireena**
and discriminating against them
is honestly so stupid!
**[17:05] Sylphy**
Big Sis Ireena!
**[17:06] Ireena**
We're going to give the school festival
our best and fight fair and square!
**[17:12] Noble Student A**
Then don't come crying to us!
**[17:13] Noble Student B**
Dummy!
**[17:16] Ireena**
Sorry, Ard.
**[17:17] Ard**
What are you talking about?
**[17:19] Ard**
You and I think alike, don't we?
**[17:22] Ard**
To be honest, I was starting to get
a bit angry at their lines, as well.
**[17:28] Ard**
Besides, see?
**[17:34] Ard**
Let's all work together
and show them what for!
**[17:41] Ard**
So, after voting, by your leave, I'll
be playing the role of Demon Lord.
**[17:48] Ard**
The role of his partner, the Hero, Lydia...
**[17:51] Sylphy**
Here, here, here!
**[17:52] Sylphy**
I think Big Sis Ireena should play it!
**[17:54] Sylphy**
I mean,
**[17:55] Sylphy**
I won't accept anyone else for the role!
**[17:59] Ard**
Then the role of Lydia shall
be played by Miss Ireena.
**[18:03] Ard**
Next, is there anyone willing to
play the role of the Evil God?
**[18:07] Student A E6**
The Evil God, huh?
**[18:08] Student B E6**
They're the villain, right?
**[18:09] Student C E6**
That's harsh.
**[18:10] Ard**
*Oh, well.*
**[18:11] Ard**
* In this current age, the*
* Evil Gods are seen as absolute evil*
**[18:14] Ard**
*and worthy of scorn.*
**[18:16] Ard**
*We'll just have to decide by lottery.*
**[18:17] Sylphy**
Oh, fine, then.
**[18:19] Sylphy**
If none of you want to take it, then I will!
**[18:23] Ard**
*That's right.*
**[18:24] Ard**
*She was always like that, even long ago.*
**[18:27] Ard**
* She'd step forward and take on the*
* tasks others didn't want to do.*
**[18:31] Sylphy**
Besides,
**[18:31] Ard**
Thank—
**[18:31] Sylphy**
if I play the Evil God,
**[18:33] Sylphy**
then I can openly get a rematch against you!
**[18:36] Ard**
Then that settles the matter of the show.
**[18:39] Sylphy**
What? Say something.
**[18:41] Ard**
One more thing.
**[18:42] Ard**
Let's discuss what our
class will be putting on.
**[18:45] Ard**
The nature of our attraction will
determine how much money we bring in,
**[18:49] Ard**
so does anyone have any good ideas?
**[18:52] Students**
What should we do for it?
**[18:52] Students**
What would be good?
**[18:54] Ginny**
Ardy, may I for a moment?
**[18:56] Ard**
Go ahead, Miss Ginny.
**[18:58] Ginny**
I have an idea.
**[19:00] Ginny**
It's something both novel,
founded in tradition,
**[19:03] Ginny**
and capable of producing surefire profit.
**[19:08] Ginny**
A maid café!
**[19:10] Ginny**
This is the best, most competitive
attraction we can host!
**[19:13] Ginny**
Maids are pure, chaste,
dignified, and innocent beings.
**[19:18] Ginny**
Yet their masters' orders also come first,
**[19:21] Ginny**
and they must obey any order given to them.
**[19:22] Ginny**
I'm sure you're already aware of the charm
**[19:25] Ginny**
that paradoxical sense
of transgression can produce.
**[19:27] Ginny**
Yet at a maid café, anyone can become
the master of one such innocent maiden!
**[19:33] Ginny**
We'll also make bold modifications to maid
outfits in order to stoke the customer's lusts,
**[19:36] Ginny**
then serve them wholeheartedly!
**[19:38] Ginny**
This attraction was previously proposed
by my mother during her time at school,
**[19:42] Ginny**
and they secured the
greatest profit on record,
**[19:43] Maids**
Welcome home, Master.
**[19:44] Ginny**
so I can guarantee it will be successful!
**[19:46] Students**
Wh-Whoa...
**[19:48] Ginny**
As for designing the maid outfits,
**[19:50] Ginny**
I already have several rough drafts prepared.
**[19:53] Ginny**
I'll hand them out now,
**[19:55] Ginny**
so please have a look.
**[20:00] Ginny**
You, too, Ardy.
**[20:04] Ard**
Miss Ginny, I think these
are going a bit too far...
**[20:07] Ginny**
I actually went with slightly more modest
designs, since it's for the school festival...
**[20:12] Man A E6**
Th-This is pretty good, isn't it?
**[20:14] Woman A E6**
There's no way I'm wearing this!
**[20:16] Ginny**
You don't understand, do you?
**[20:18] Ginny**
The customers at our maid café won't just
be those coming in from outside the school.
**[20:22] Ginny**
Our very own students will
be visiting it, as well.
**[20:25] Woman A E6**
That's why I won't do it!
**[20:26] Woman B E6**
Yeah, yeah!
**[20:27] Ginny**
Please hold on.
**[20:29] Ginny**
Serving students at this
maid café would also mean
**[20:32] Ginny**
that you'll get to serve Ardy, as well!
**[20:37] Ginny**
Under the pretense of our attraction,
**[20:39] Ginny**
you'll be able to openly seduce him
without anything to hold you back!
**[20:47] Woman A E6**
Let's do it!
**[20:48] Woman B E6**
Ginny's a genius!
**[20:49] Woman C E6**
Starting today, it's salons and diets!
**[20:52] Ard**
Uh, since we now have the girls' agreement,
**[20:55] Ard**
I'll also agree to hosting this attraction.
**[20:59] Sylphy**
Huh?!
**[20:59] Sylphy**
What makes you think you
can just decide that?!
**[21:02] Ard**
Miss Sylphy, even I'm wary of hosting
an attraction that's too indecent,
**[21:06] Ard**
but I do think this is one way we
could guarantee we win the top prize.
**[21:12] Ard**
Though, let's agree that only volunteers have
to wear Miss Ginny's unique maid outfits.
**[21:18] Ard**
You're okay with that, right, Miss Ginny?
**[21:20] Ginny**
Yes, of course!
**[21:21] Sylphy**
I-I guess we have to, in order to win.
**[21:24] Sylphy**
I'll strip down and help, too.
**[21:27] Ginny**
No.
**[21:28] Ginny**
You won't have to.
**[21:29] Sylphy**
Wha?!
**[21:30] Sylphy**
What gives?! That ticks me off!
**[21:33] Ard**
*Good grief. What is going to happen here?*
**[21:34] Sylphy**
My breasts?! Is it my breasts?!
**[21:36] Sylphy**
I have breasts, too, you know!
**[21:36] Ard**
*My head hurts.*
**[21:46] Masked Man**
Are you having fun, Ard Meteor?
**[21:48] Masked Man**
Oh, I'm sure you're having fun.
**[21:51] Masked Man**
Spending such time with the first
friend you've made in a while.
**[21:55] Masked Man**
Enjoy this while you can.
**[21:58] Masked Man**
Meanwhile, I'll be looking forward to
watching how your new friend, Sylphy Marheaven,
**[22:05] Masked Man**
reacts when she finally learns the truth!

**[00:05] Ireena**
Hey, Ard!
**[00:07] Ireena**
Let's go to that one next!
**[00:09] Ard**
Sure.
**[00:12] Ard**
*Despite appearances,*
**[00:14] Ard**
*we're currently patrolling the school.*
**[00:17] Ard**
*All because of the threat from Lars al Ghoul.*
**[00:22] Ireena**
This frozen dessert is delicious.
**[00:25] Ard**
Oh, Miss Ireena.
**[00:27] Ard**
You have some syrup on your cheek.
**[00:30] Ireena**
Huh?
**[00:31] Ireena**
Oh, you're right.
**[00:33] Ard**
* We're just pretending to enjoy the*
* school festival to its fullest.*
**[00:39] Ireena**
I want to eat something else, too!
**[00:41] Student A E7**
Oh, then come stop by ours!
**[00:44] Student B E7**
No, no, ours is putting
out way tastier stuff!
**[00:47] Ireena**
It feels like a dream.
**[00:49] Ireena**
I never thought I'd get along
with everyone like this.
**[00:53] Ard**
* We certainly aren't just letting ourselves*
* get excited as we go around to attractions.*
**[00:59] Ard**
What's that?!
**[01:02] Sylphy**
Hey!
**[01:03] Sylphy**
You're acting suspicious!
**[01:06] Sylphy**
Now surrender and turn yourself in!
**[01:10] Ard**
For now, let's go ask the idiot—
**[01:12] Ard**
No, pardon me, let's go ask
Miss Sylphy what's going on.
**[01:20] Ard**
What are you doing here?
**[01:22] Sylphy**
This man is a demon!
**[01:23] Sylphy**
I'm sure of it!
**[01:25] Father**
No, no, no, I'm not!
**[01:27] Sylphy**
Most with eyes like yours are demons!
**[01:31] Father**
Lower your sword! Please!
**[01:34] Father**
Ah! Lady Olivia! Please help me!
**[01:37] Father**
This crazy girl is making
baseless accusations
**[01:40] Father**
and trying to kill me!
**[01:44] Olivia**
Hey, put the sword away.
**[01:46] Olivia**
He's not a demon.
**[01:49] Olivia**
He's staff at the restaurant I usually go to.
**[01:53] Olivia**
The French fries he cooks up are exquisite,
**[01:56] Olivia**
and I even apprenticed under him for a while.
**[01:59] Olivia**
So I can vouch for his identity.
**[02:02] Ard**
*Exquisite French fries?*
**[02:04] Ard**
*Apprenticed?*
**[02:05] Ard**
*You were one of my top generals, right?*
**[02:08] Ard**
*You went and learned how to fry potatoes?*
**[02:09] Ard**
*Just how badly do you love potatoes?*
**[02:12] Sylphy**
D-Did I go and do it again?
**[02:15] Olivia**
You don't need to join the patrols anymore.
**[02:22] Ireena**
Why don't you go help our
class with our attraction?
**[02:25] Sylphy**
If you say so, Big Sis.
**[02:29] Ard**
*Good grief.*
**[02:34] Ireena**
It always feels strange
looking at this tree,
**[02:37] Ireena**
no matter how often I see it.
**[02:38] Ard**
If I recall, the third king of Laville...
**[02:41] Ard**
the man known as the Great Sword King
**[02:43] Ard**
is said to have sealed something
special here in this spot.
**[02:49] Ard**
I doubt I'm the only one who's curious
what that something special is.
**[02:54] Ireena**
Yes.
**[02:55] Ireena**
But even Papa said he didn't know.
**[02:58] Ard**
*Even royalty doesn't know?*
**[03:01] Ard**
Lady Olivia, do you know
anything about this tree?
**[03:06] Olivia**
I can't discuss this tree, even with you two.
**[03:10] Ard**
So to put it another way,
**[03:12] Ard**
it's something that important, then?
**[03:18] Olivia**
Speaking of the Sword King,
**[03:20] Olivia**
one of this school festival's main attractions
is the Sword King Battle Tournament.
**[03:23] Olivia**
I've already announced my participation.
**[03:26] Ard**
Well, well...
**[03:28] Ard**
Looks like the champion's
already been decided, then.
**[03:31] Olivia**
No, it's not yet guaranteed that I'll win.
**[03:35] Olivia**
Because...
**[03:37] Olivia**
you'll be participating, too.
**[03:40] Ard**
Huh?
**[03:41] Olivia**
I went ahead and submitted the form
to announce your participation.
**[03:45] Ard**
But I'll be performing in the play.
**[03:49] Olivia**
Surely you can do both, right?
**[03:52] Ard**
Besides, I don't like showing off my power—
**[03:55] Olivia**
Enough!
**[03:57] Olivia**
I don't care about your preferences.
**[03:59] Olivia**
If you won't participate,
**[04:01] Olivia**
then I'll make my own decision
and act on a certain matter.
**[04:05] ---**
Are you okay with that?
**[04:07] Ard**
*Th-This woman!*
**[04:10] Olivia**
I'm looking forward to it.
***SIGN*** The Greatest Demon Lord
Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody
**[05:47] Ard**
*"The Erotic Maid Café."*
**[05:50] Ard**
*I suppose that is very easy to understand,*
**[05:53] Ard**
* but couldn't we have gone with*
* a slightly vaguer name for it?*
**[05:59] Sylphy**
Hey!
**[06:03] Sylphy**
Why, you!
**[06:04] Sylphy**
You just touched my butt, didn't you?!
**[06:06] Sylphy**
A perverted groper deserves
to be sentenced to death!
**[06:10] Ard**
Please let me handle this.
**[06:23] Ard**
You went too far.
**[06:25] Sylphy**
Boo.
**[06:26] Ard**
Now, if you'll excuse me...
**[06:29] Female Student A E7**
Please don't say such a thing!
**[06:31] Female Student B E7**
Please let us offer you our hospitality!
**[06:35] Ginny**
You should.
**[06:44] Ard**
A-All right.
**[06:45] Ard**
Just for a little bit, then.
**[06:48] FemaleStudents**
Welcome back, Master!
**[06:54] Female Student A E7**
What would you like today?
**[06:56] FemaleStudents**
A drink? A meal? Or perhaps... me?
**[07:01] Female Student C E7**
Today, I would recommend me!
**[07:03] Female Student D E7**
Me, too!
**[07:04] Female Student E E7**
No, me!
**[07:06] Female Student BG**
Pick me instead!
**[07:07] Ard**
I'd like a drink, please.
**[07:09] Ard**
One orange juice.
**[07:12] Ireena**
What are you doing?!
**[07:13] Ireena**
All while I was out patrolling?!
**[07:16] Ireena**
I can't leave you alone for one second!
**[07:19] Ginny**
We're providing our service
to Master. What of it?
**[07:23] Ireena**
Service?!
**[07:25] Ginny**
Oh, you don't need to force
yourself, Miss Ireena.
**[07:28] Ireena**
I can provide service just as well!
**[07:31] Ginny**
Hmm, can you?
**[07:35] Ireena**
Where are you looking?!
**[07:44] Ireena**
I'll handle all the waiting
and serving for Ard!
**[07:48] Ireena**
All of you can back off!
**[07:50] Ginny**
That's tyranny, Miss Ireena!
**[07:53] Ginny**
Ardy is everyone's master!
**[07:55] Ginny**
Please, you have to understand that!
**[07:57] FemaleStudents**
That's right, that's right!
**[07:59] Ireena**
Argh, jeez, shut up!
**[08:01] Ireena**
Ard is solely my master!
**[08:04] Sylphy**
Everyone, fighting is bad.
**[08:07] Sylphy**
So we'll compromise,
and I'll serve him for you!
**[08:11] Ginny**
No, Miss Sylphy, we would be
grateful if you didn't do anything.
**[08:19] Announcer**
*To everyone on campus...*
**[08:20] Announcer**
* The festival of swordsmanship honoring*
* the spirit of Laville's third king,*
**[08:25] Announcer**
* the Sword King Battle Tournament,*
* will be starting tomorrow!*
**[08:28] Announcer**
* For this year's 100th anniversary,*
* the grand prize will be*
**[08:32] Announcer**
*a replica of his Holy Sword, Vald-Galgulus!*
**[08:36] Sylpy**
I'm entering!
**[08:38] Ireena**
I was just thinking about entering it, too.
**[08:41] Ireena**
You'll be in it, right, Ard?
**[08:43] Ard**
Yes. Apparently so.
**[08:45] Ginny**
Huh?
**[08:46] Ginny**
Th-Then maybe I should enter, too.
**[08:49] Ginny**
If I go up against you, Ardy,
**[08:51] Ginny**
please use the match to
give me an intimate lesson!
**[08:55] Ireena**
You mean you just want to use it as an
excuse to do naughty things, don't you?
**[09:00] Ginny**
Such mistrust again!
**[09:02] Ginny**
That reminds me,
**[09:04] Ginny**
we never did settle our match
during the last battle event.
**[09:07] Ginny**
This time, I'll beat you black
and blue, so prepare yourself!
**[09:11] Ireena**
Come try me if you can, you horny succubus!
**[09:21] Sylphy**
The Holy Sword, Vald-Galgulus...
**[09:25] Sylphy**
Big Sis's sword...
**[09:30] Announcer**
Now, that time of year has come once again!
**[09:32] Announcer**
It's the Sword King Battle Tournament!
**[09:34] Announcer**
Contestants can only use sword
techniques and enhancement magic.
**[09:38] Announcer**
Though this year, we have three exceptional
people partaking in the tournament!
**[09:43] Announcer**
Two of which are attending this very school!
**[09:45] Announcer**
Everyone knows of the
children of the Great Heroes!
**[09:49] Announcer**
My heart's racing with anticipation!
**[09:52] Announcer**
And the last one is none other!
**[09:54] Sylphy**
Yay!
**[09:55] Announcer**
The living legend! The founder and
pinnacle of all swordsmanship!
**[10:00] Announcer**
One of the Top Four Heavenly Kings!
Lady Olivia vel Vine!
**[10:05] Spectator1**
Is it really her?
**[10:07] Spectator2**
They get to challenge that master swordsman?!
**[10:10] Sylphy**
Huh? What about me?
**[10:13] Sylphy**
Hey, what about me?
**[10:15] Sylphy**
Do I not count among those three?
**[10:18] Ireena**
Well, cheer up.
**[10:21] Ireena**
I'm sure something good
will happen to you someday.
**[10:23] Sylphy**
Sniffle...
**[10:25] Announcer**
Now, the eight strongest
contenders who conquer
**[10:28] Announcer**
the preliminary round of the tournament
will advance to the final rounds!
**[10:46] Competitor**
I-I yield.
**[10:52] Ard**
If I lose here, she'll
think I lost on purpose.
**[10:56] Ard**
If I'm going to lose, it should
be in the final rounds.
**[10:59] Announcer**
It's the final match of preliminary block eight
in the Sword King Battle Tournament!
**[11:04] Announcer**
Once the winner of this match is decided,
**[11:06] Announcer**
we'll have our eight contenders
moving on to the finals!
**[11:09] Ireena**
Final match...
**[11:10] Ireena**
That just leaves Ginny.
**[11:20] Ireena**
Her opponent is a favorite
to win, alongside Lady Olivia.
**[11:41] Ard**
*Not good. She'll lose, at this rate.*
**[11:44] Ard**
* Being anxious will take away*
* even her faint chance to win.*
**[11:50] Ard**
Miss Ginny!
**[11:51] Ard**
It's still too early in the fight to give up!
**[11:54] Ard**
Keep your hopes up and face
him until the very end!
**[12:18] Announcer**
That's the match!
**[12:20] Announcer**
An unexpected comeback!
**[12:22] Announcer**
The winner is this nameless woman of talent!
**[12:24] Announcer**
Ginny Fin de Salvan!
**[12:32] Classmate**
Ireena, Sylphy,
**[12:34] Classmate**
could you hurry back to our café?
**[12:36] Classmate**
We're short-handed.
**[12:38] Ireena**
Sure.
**[12:39] Sylphy**
Of course.
**[12:40] Ireena**
Later, then.
**[12:42] Ard**
Yes.
**[12:46] Ginny**
Ardy!
**[12:48] Ard**
You did well.
**[12:50] Ginny**
Yeah.
**[12:51] Ginny**
Huh?
**[12:52] Ginny**
Where are Miss Ireena and Miss Sylphy?
**[12:54] Ard**
They returned to the café.
**[12:57] Ginny**
Is that so?
**[13:00] Ard**
Huh?
**[13:05] Ard**
"The Miss & Mister Beauty Contest"?
**[13:08] Ard**
I suppose that's all right.
**[13:10] Ginny**
Then, please come with me!
**[13:11] Ard**
No, I have to patrol.
**[13:14] Ginny**
Lots of people will be at the
Miss & Mister Beauty Contest,
**[13:18] Ginny**
so wouldn't that count as patrolling?
**[13:21] Ginny**
Besides, I want you to come watch me, Ardy.
**[13:24] Ginny**
Is that so bad?
**[13:28] Ard**
A-All right...
**[13:35] Ard**
*She's right.*
**[13:36] Ard**
*There are a lot of people here.*
**[13:38] Ard**
*Hm?*
**[13:40] Ard**
*Where have I...?*
**[13:46] Ard**
*Oh yeah, him!*
**[13:49] Ard**
*Is he here for Ginny?*
**[13:51] Announcer 2**
Entry number 18! Miss Lilith takes the stage!
**[14:00] Elraldo**
Lilly!
**[14:02] Elraldo**
Lilith! Lilith! Lilly!
**[14:03] Ard**
Excuse me, are you by chance...
**[14:06] Ard**
Mister Elraldo?
**[14:08] Elraldo**
Huh?!
**[14:12] Ard**
*I knew it.*
**[14:14] Ard**
* Though his appearance has...*
* significantly changed.*
**[14:18] Ard**
I had heard that you were holed up
**[14:20] Ard**
in your dorm room ever since
the commotion around our duel.
**[14:25] Elraldo**
I-I haven't done anything wrong!
**[14:28] Elraldo**
It's true!
**[14:29] Elraldo**
S-So... please don't kill me!
**[14:33] Ard**
Why are you here?
**[14:35] Elraldo**
I-I just came to watch L-L-Lilly.
**[14:39] Elraldo**
That's all.
**[14:40] Elraldo**
Ah, Lilly...
**[14:43] Announcer 2**
Now, next up is entry number 19, Miss Ginny!
**[14:52] Elraldo**
Ginny's taking the stage?
**[14:55] Elraldo**
I see. So she's changed, then.
**[14:58] Ard**
One could say the same about you.
**[15:01] Elraldo**
Ever since that day when she met you,
**[15:04] Elraldo**
she's grown stronger and
improved things for herself.
**[15:08] Elraldo**
Compared to her, I haven't changed at all.
**[15:11] Ard**
*No, you've changed plenty.*
**[15:14] Elraldo**
Ginny's family has had the duty of serving
and protecting my family for generations.
**[15:22] Elraldo**
So when we were children,
**[15:25] Elraldo**
Ginny was always at my side as my guardian.
**[15:28] Elraldo**
But she was always bad at everything
she did when she was young.
**[15:33] Elraldo**
It made me feel like I had to be
the one to protect her instead.
**[15:37] Elraldo**
Yet, even though I felt that way,
I got frustrated at how slow she was.
**[15:40] Ard**
So that's why you did what you did?
**[15:43] Elraldo**
That wasn't the only reason.
**[15:44] Elraldo**
My father was constantly telling me
to act like a duke's eldest son.
**[15:49] Elraldo**
I was raised being told to think
of everyone below royalty as ants.
**[15:53] Elraldo**
That was incredibly stressful for me...
**[15:57] Elraldo**
So to escape from it, I began
insulting and bullying Ginny.
**[16:03] Elraldo**
But because of what I've done,
**[16:05] Elraldo**
I've left a curse of inferiority on
her heart that still hasn't lifted.
**[16:12] Elraldo**
It might not mean much
to say, coming from me,
**[16:16] Elraldo**
but I'm relieved.
**[16:18] Ard**
Relieved?
**[16:20] Elraldo**
Because you beat me back then,
she's gained the chance to change.
**[16:26] Elraldo**
There's no doubt that her
curse is halfway gone now.
**[16:31] Elraldo**
So I'm relieved.
**[16:33] Ard**
Then what about the curse on you?
**[16:36] Ard**
Think you'll break that curse
of guilt and self-loathing?
**[16:40] Elraldo**
That's something I'll probably
bear for the rest of my life.
**[16:46] Elraldo**
I haven't even managed
to apologize to her yet.
**[16:49] Elraldo**
I need to be able to face her with
sincerity, bow my head properly,
**[16:52] Elraldo**
and atone for what I've done.
**[16:55] Elraldo**
I doubt my curse will be broken
until I'm finally able to do that.
**[16:59] Elraldo**
But I'm afraid to face her.
**[17:03] Elraldo**
I doubt you'd be able to
understand these feelings.
**[17:06] Ard**
That's not true.
**[17:08] Ard**
I bear a similar burden myself.
**[17:11] Ard**
* I still haven't been able to*
* tell Sylphy about that yet...*
**[17:17] Elraldo**
I thought you were an unpleasant
man who just had it all,
**[17:22] Elraldo**
but I guess you've suffered, too?
**[17:26] Elraldo**
Looks like the contest's
results are already decided.
**[17:30] Elraldo**
A guy like me shouldn't stay here any longer.
**[17:41] Announcer 2**
This year's winners are class 1-C's
Miss Ginny and Mister Ard!
**[17:46] Mob1**
So cute!
**[17:48] Mob3**
I wish the guy beside her would die.
**[17:50] Ard**
Hey!
**[17:51] Ginny**
My, I never thought I'd actually win!
**[17:56] Ginny**
Does this mean I'm actually
a little attractive?
**[17:59] Ard**
More than just a little.
**[18:01] Ard**
You can hold your head
high as the winner today.
**[18:05] Ard**
I guarantee you that, Miss Ginny.
**[18:08] Ard**
Though it's not like I have any
authority to back that guarantee.
**[18:15] Ginny**
Really?
**[18:17] Ginny**
You really think so?
**[18:20] Ard**
You truly are a lovely woman.
**[18:23] Ard**
So have confidence in yourself.
**[18:27] Ginny**
Thank you so much.
**[18:29] Ginny**
I think I might be able to
like myself a little more.
**[18:36] Student Mob 1**
Oh! Ginny's back!
**[18:38] Student Mob 2**
Congratulations on winning the contest!
**[18:40] Ginny**
Huh?
**[18:42] Ard**
What an incredible amount of customers.
**[18:48] Ginny**
It's so full of customers.
**[18:50] Ard**
Looks like our advertising
has already paid off.
**[18:53] Ireena**
You're late—ahh!
**[18:56] Ireena**
I wanted to enter that contest, too!
**[18:59] Ireena**
Not fair!
**[19:06] Announcer**
Now, it's time for the third match!
**[19:08] Announcer**
It's no exaggeration to say
this is the real final battle!
**[19:12] Announcer**
The living legend is already
facing the number one rookie!
**[19:18] Ard**
*This is what I least wanted to happen.*
**[19:20] Ard**
* It's hard to hold back so*
* I don't give myself away.*
**[19:23] Olivia**
Shall we play around again,
my foolish little brother?!
**[19:37] Ard**
* It would be too unnatural if*
* I lost without doing anything!*
**[19:41] Olivia**
Interesting.
**[19:42] Olivia**
Don't die on me now!
**[19:44] Olivia**
Hey, Ardy!
**[19:46] Olivia**
An arena is no place to put on an act!
**[19:52] Ard**
*Not good! She's serious!*
**[19:53] Ard**
Reflect Mega Wall!
**[20:02] Spectators Male**
You can't do that.
**[20:03] Spectators Male**
That's against the rules!
**[20:04] Spectators Male**
Ah, he did it now.
**[20:05] Spectators Male**
Don't come back again!
**[20:07] Spectators Female**
Lady Olivia!
**[20:08] Ard**
*Ahh, I went too far...*
**[20:12] Ard**
* In the end, I was disqualified*
* for using prohibited magic.*
**[20:17] Ard**
* Olivia didn't make it back in*
* time for her match and forfeited.*
**[20:20] Announcer**
This next match is between the daughter of
the Heroic Baron and our no-name dark horse!
**[20:27] Sylphy**
Big Sis!
**[20:28] Sylphy**
Do your best out there!
**[20:30] Ginny**
I won't lose to the likes of you!
**[20:34] Ireena**
Don't get full of yourself!
**[20:36] Ginny**
I'll never lose to someone
**[20:38] Ginny**
who dares to monopolize Ardy for herself!
**[20:49] Ireena**
What is this harem nonsense?!
**[20:51] Ireena**
I'm the only one allowed to be with Ard!
**[20:54] Ginny**
If you think of him as more than a friend,
**[20:57] Ginny**
then why don't you just come out and say it?!
**[20:59] Spectators Female**
Huh? What?
**[21:00] Spectators Male**
Harem?
**[21:01] Spectators Male**
What's with this match?
**[21:02] Spectators Male**
Is Ard the guy from earlier?
**[21:04] Spectators Male**
Take this seriously!
**[21:04] Ard**
*Will this match end soon?*
**[21:06] Ard**
*Please...*
**[21:19] Announcer**
The winner is Ireena!
**[21:28] Ireena**
Now we've settled who belongs beside Ard!
**[21:32] Ginny**
Huh? What are you saying?
**[21:35] Ginny**
Just because you won in swordsmanship?
**[21:38] Ard**
That was a splendid battle, both of you.
**[21:41] Sylphy**
You did it, Big Sis!
**[21:44] Ireena**
Anyway, I'll be the one at Ard's side!
**[21:47] Ginny**
Absolutely not!
**[21:53] Maskedman**
Good grief.
**[21:55] Maskedman**
Nothing is more useless than actors
who won't follow their script.
**[22:02] Maskedman**
This will cause the outcome to change.
**[22:05] Maskedman**
And we can't have that.

**[00:06] Female Announcer E8**
Class C's play will begin shortly.
**[00:10] Female Announcer E8**
Everyone, please take your seats.
**[00:17] Mob Girl A E8**
Miss Ireena's lovely!
**[00:19] Mob Girl B E8**
So cool!
**[00:22] Ireena**
There're so many people.
**[00:27] Sylphy**
Big Sis Lydia.
**[00:29] Ginny**
It's finally time.
**[00:30] Ginny**
I only have a minor role,
**[00:32] Ginny**
but I'm still anxious.
**[00:34] Ireena**
S-S-Stop that!
**[00:35] Ireena**
You'll m-m-make me even more nervous!
**[00:39] Ard**
Miss Ireena, please calm down.
**[00:41] Ard**
You don't have to think about
performing it perfectly
**[00:45] Ard**
or living up to the audience's expectations.
**[00:48] Ard**
You'll both make the performance more
beautiful just by appearing in it.
**[00:53] Ard**
So please take it easy.
**[00:54] Ireena**
Y-Y-You're right!
**[00:56] Ireena**
J-J-Just like you s-s-said,
**[01:00] Ireena**
I-I-I feel much better n-n-now.
**[01:03] Ireena**
Th-Th-Thank you...
**[01:06] Ard**
We might be doomed.
***SIGN*** The Greatest Demon Lord
Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody
**[02:40] Ireena**
If you can hear my voice,
then stand and fight!
**[02:43] Ireena**
You're not allowed to give up!
**[02:49] Sylphy**
Writhe in fear before me,
you inferior creatures!
**[03:03] Ard**
My might shall carve a path forward!
**[03:05] Ard**
Follow me, your Demon Lord!
**[03:08] Ard**
* This is way more embarrassing*
* than I expected.*
**[03:10] Ard**
*I'm playing a glorified version of myself!*
**[03:12] Spectator 1 E8**
Amazing!
**[03:14] Spectator 2 E8**
Sir Ard's so cool!
**[03:16] Spectator 3 E8**
He's like a real Demon Lord.
**[03:19] Ard**
*Still, this takes me back.*
**[03:21] Ard**
*This battle against of Avia Desa Veers.*
**[03:26] Ard**
*This was a truly distinct battle.*
**[03:30] (Flashback) Varvatos**
We'll go with the usual strategy.
**[03:32] (Flashback) Varvatos**
First, Lydia and I will charge into
the enemy and gather information.
**[03:36] (Flashback) Varvatos**
Anyone with any objections, raise your hand.
**[03:40] (Flashback) Sylphy**
I can't trust you to watch Big Sis's back!
**[03:43] (Flashback) Sylphy**
So I'll go and—
**[03:44] (Flashback) Lydia**
Shut up. You be quiet.
**[03:47] (Flashback) Sylphy**
B-But...
**[03:49] (Flashback) Lydia**
I told you to be quiet.
**[03:51] (Flashback) Lydia**
Did you not hear me?
**[03:54] (Flashback) Sylphy**
But I also...
**[03:56] (Flashback) Sylphy**
I also...
**[03:59] (Flashback) Evil God**
Listen, worms!
**[04:01] (Flashback) Evil God**
I shall wait until tomorrow afternoon,
**[04:03] (Flashback) Evil God**
so talk amongst yourselves all you like.
**[04:05] (Flashback) Evil God**
Also, tonight you should
eat your favorite foods,
**[04:09] (Flashback) Evil God**
and those with lovers should
lie with them until exhausted.
**[04:12] (Flashback) Evil God**
Because after tomorrow you'll
never do those things again!
**[04:28] (Flashback) Sylphy**
Hey, Var, do you have a moment?
**[04:31] (Flashback) Varvatos**
What's wrong?
**[04:32] (Flashback) Sylphy**
Do you think I'm useless?
**[04:38] (Flashback) Sylphy**
I can fight, too.
**[04:41] (Flashback) Sylphy**
I won't drag you down,
**[04:43] (Flashback) Sylphy**
and I got stronger to help protect everyone.
**[04:46] (Flashback) Varvatos**
We recognize that.
**[04:48] (Flashback) Varvatos**
Both Lydia and I do recognize that.
**[04:50] (Flashback) Sylphy**
Then why did she just—
**[04:52] (Flashback) Varvatos**
That's because we don't want to lose you.
**[04:55] (Flashback) Varvatos**
Especially Lydia. She's thinking
of making you her successor.
**[05:01] (Flashback) Varvatos**
You might be dumb and
short-tempered like Lydia,
**[05:03] (Flashback) Varvatos**
but there aren't many people who can
work as hard as you do for others.
**[05:07] (Flashback) Sylphy**
B-But I want to help Big Sis Lydia!
**[05:13] (Flashback) Varvatos**
Very well.
**[05:14] (Flashback) Varvatos**
Then feel free to act as you please.
**[05:16] (Flashback) Varvatos**
I'll take responsibility.
**[05:19] (Flashback) Sylphy**
Var!
**[05:20] (Flashback) Sylphy**
Thank you!
**[05:21] (Flashback) Sylphy**
I'll do my best!
**[05:24] (Flashback) Varvatos**
Though you'll still need to think
of yourself first and foremost.
**[05:29] (Flashback) Varvatos**
If you were to die...
**[05:31] (Flashback) Varvatos**
I would be a little depressed, too.
**[05:40] (Flashback) Evil God**
It seems you've put down
several of my comrades so far,
**[05:44] (Flashback) Evil God**
but today you shall meet your end!
**[05:49] (Flashback) Evil God**
I shall bury you with my
greatest, prized weapon,
**[05:54] (Flashback) Evil God**
the Holy Sword Demise-Argis!
**[06:02] (Flashback) Evil God**
Here I come, worms!
**[06:03] (Flashback) Evil God**
I'll teach you true despair!
**[06:20] (Flashback) Evil God**
Huh?!
**[06:24] (Flashback) Evil God**
Hey, wait!
**[06:32] (Flashback) Sylphy**
I did it!
**[06:33] (Flashback) Sylphy**
I did it!
**[06:36] (Flashback) Sylphy**
My trap dealt him a huge blow!
**[06:42] (Flashback) Alvarto**
You've done it now, Sylphy Marheaven!
**[06:45] (Flashback) Alvarto**
What are you going to do about the
excitement running through me?!
**[06:51] (Flashback) Subordinate 1 E8**
B-Boss!
**[06:53] (Flashback) Subordinate 2 E8**
How dare you!
**[06:59] (Flashback) Varvatos**
Hey, Sylphy,
**[07:01] (Flashback) Varvatos**
these traps are your doing, right?
**[07:04] (Flashback) Sylphy**
That's right!
**[07:06] (Flashback) Sylphy**
That means I earned the biggest
honor this time around!
**[07:10] (Flashback) Varvatos**
Yeah, that's true.
**[07:12] (Flashback) Varvatos**
So? You remember where you
placed the traps, right?
**[07:17] (Flashback) Sylphy**
Huh?
**[07:17] (Flashback) Sylphy**
I laid them down in every nook
and cranny of the battlefield.
**[07:20] (Flashback) Sylphy**
There's no way I could remember
where all of them are.
**[07:24] (Flashback) Varvatos**
I see, I see.
**[07:26] (Flashback) Varvatos**
Then, Sylphy, how are we
supposed to get out of here?
**[07:32] (Flashback) Sylphy**
Well, um...
**[07:36] (Flashback) Sylphy**
Guts?
**[07:37] (Flashback) Varvatos**
You dumbass!
**[07:47] (Flashback) Sylphy**
Th-This isn't fair.
**[07:50] (Flashback) Sylphy**
I earned the biggest honor, and I get this?
**[07:53] (Flashback) Sylphy**
Besides, you said you would take
responsibility, didn't you?
**[07:56] (Flashback) Sylphy**
You lied to me!
**[07:58] (Flashback) Varvatos**
I see you haven't learned your lesson at all.
**[08:01] (Flashback) Varvatos**
You'll need three sets of Olivia's
fully loaded spartan discipline.
**[08:04] (Flashback) Lydia**
Let her off the hook already.
**[08:07] (Flashback) Lydia**
A lot may have happened,
**[08:09] (Flashback) Lydia**
but thanks to Sylphy,
not a single person died.
**[08:13] (Flashback) Lydia**
That's practically a miracle, isn't it?
**[08:16] (Flashback) Lydia**
Considering what we've been through...
**[08:18] (Flashback) Lydia**
Honestly, my little sister always,
always pulls off something interesting.
**[08:25] (Flashback) Sylphy**
Big Sis Lydia sure knows how
to handle just rewards!
**[08:29] (Flashback) Varvatos**
Sylphy!
**[08:32] (Flashback) Lydia**
Now, now, that's enough, isn't it?
**[08:36] (Flashback) Lydia**
Sylphy, you're plenty incredible.
**[08:39] (Flashback) Lydia**
But you go a little too far.
**[08:43] (Flashback) Lydia**
There's no need to shoulder
everything yourself.
**[08:45] (Flashback) Lydia**
Trust in your allies and move forward.
**[08:48] (Flashback) Lydia**
I'm sorry I yelled at you during the meeting.
**[08:50] (Flashback) Lydia**
I couldn't think of any
good words at the time.
**[09:03] Ard**
Well that was a big success.
**[09:05] Ireena**
Yeah.
**[09:05] Ginny**
Yes.
**[09:06] Ginny**
Sylphy forgot her lines,
**[09:08] Ginny**
but you managed to save it
with your ad-libbing, Ardy.
**[09:12] Ireena**
Jeez, partway through everything you
two were saying wasn't in the script,
**[09:16] Ireena**
so I was really sweating it!
**[09:21] Sylphy**
*Thank goodness it worked out.*
**[09:23] Sylphy**
* I caused everyone so much*
* trouble, but they're so kind.*
**[09:31] Ard**
Tomorrow's finally the last
day of the school festival.
**[09:34] Ard**
All that's left is the final
match of the battle tournament
**[09:37] Ard**
and the closing event,
the Spirit Festival, huh?
**[09:40] Ireena**
I guess there weren't any problems after all?
**[09:43] Ireena**
I wonder what that threat was all about.
**[09:47] Ginny**
Huh?
**[09:48] Ginny**
Where did Miss Sylphy go?
**[09:55] Sylphy**
Big Sis!
**[09:57] Sylphy**
Ah...
**[10:07] Sylphy**
I miss you, Big Sis.
**[10:25] Ard**
Miss Sylphy is late.
**[10:27] Ard**
I wonder what happened.
**[10:28] Ginny**
Yes.
**[10:29] Ginny**
Miss Ireena said she was acting
strange after the play.
**[10:34] Ginny**
Could this mean...
**[10:36] Ard**
Hm?
**[10:37] Ginny**
...she's fallen?!
**[10:38] Ard**
Huh? Wh-What do you mean?
**[10:41] Ginny**
I'm sure it hit her after you helped
her during our play yesterday!
**[10:46] Ard**
No way, that couldn't be.
**[10:49] Ginny**
I'm certain of it.
**[10:51] Ginny**
I'm sure you'll see a confession
in the near future!
**[10:55] Ard**
Come on, g-give me a break.
**[10:58] Ginny**
Oh, speak of the devil.
**[11:04] Sylphy**
Hey, Ard...
**[11:06] Sylphy**
I'm going to win this match for sure.
**[11:08] ---**
Right.
**[11:09] Sylphy**
So once the tournament is over,
**[11:11] Sylphy**
I want you to come to the
Tree of the Sword King.
**[11:17] Ginny**
Good luck.
**[11:19] Ard**
No way.
**[11:21] Announcer**
This year's tournament
has been truly unexpected!
**[11:24] Announcer**
All of the favorite contenders have
been eliminated one after another,
**[11:26] Announcer**
leaving our dark horse at the top!
**[11:28] Announcer**
This final match will be
the peak of unexpected!
**[11:31] Ireena**
I won't lose, Sylphy!
**[11:36] Announcer**
Now, time for the match that's
on everyone's mind to start!
**[11:42] Ireena**
Huh?
**[11:49] Announcer**
That's the match!
**[11:50] Announcer**
Winner, Contestant Sylphy!
**[12:15] Ireena**
Hey, Ginny, what on earth is going on here?
**[12:18] Ginny**
Quiet, Miss Ireena.
**[12:20] Ginny**
Ahh, this is totally a confession!
**[12:22] Ireena**
Huh?! I'll go stop them!
**[12:25] Ginny**
H-Hey!
**[12:26] Ireena**
Let me go!
**[12:29] Ginny**
You can't go interrupting them!
**[12:32] Ard**
Miss Sylphy.
**[12:34] Ard**
Sorry for the wait.
**[12:39] Sylphy**
Hey, Ard Meteor,
**[12:42] Sylphy**
I've been watching you
ever since I came here,
**[12:47] Sylphy**
trying to decide if you truly are Varvatos.
**[12:51] Sylphy**
Hey, Ard, I...
**[12:53] Sylphy**
I'm...
**[12:55] Ard**
Miss Sylphy?
**[12:57] Sylphy**
Ard, I...
**[13:00] Sylphy**
want to kill you so badly!
**[13:15] Sylphy**
It is here
**[13:16] Sylphy**
that I shall proclaim your release.
**[13:26] Ard**
It wasn't just a replica?
**[13:29] Sylphy**
The Holy Sword Vald Galgulus.
**[13:31] Sylphy**
The divine weapon once favored
by the Champion, Lydia.
**[13:35] Sylphy**
That is what was actually sealed
in the Tree of the Sword King.
**[13:39] Sylphy**
Truly amusing that it was hidden
in the academy you all attend.
**[13:44] Sylphy**
Truly fate indeed.
**[13:46] Sylphy**
Either way, now I have fulfilled
one of my objectives.
**[13:50] Ard**
Sylphy, you...
**[13:52] Sylphy**
Demise-Argis.
**[14:05] Sylphy**
Arstella.
**[14:06] Sylphy**
Fotoblis.
**[14:08] Sylphy**
Tenneblick.
**[14:15] Sylphy**
I'll murder you, Ard Meteor!
**[14:19] Sylphy**
Die!
**[14:20] Sylphy**
Die! Die!
**[14:23] Ard**
Skywalker!
**[14:30] Ard**
*Sylphy is acting strange.*
**[14:32] Ard**
*Did someone brainwash her?*
**[14:37] Ireena**
What's going on?
**[14:38] Ginny**
I don't know.
**[14:40] Alvarto**
Ah, such a comedy, isn't it?
**[14:44] Alvarto**
The young girl takes up her former
master's weapon to exact revenge.
**[14:48] Alvarto**
Now this is much more worth
watching than that boring act.
**[14:54] (Flashback) Sylphy**
You told me that Ard Meteor is the
reincarnation of the Demon Lord,
**[14:59] (Flashback) Sylphy**
but I don't believe that!
**[15:01] (Flashback) Alvarto**
Good grief.
**[15:02] (Flashback) Alvarto**
You're as dumb as ever, aren't you?
**[15:06] (Flashback) Alvarto**
It's an irrefutable fact that he is.
**[15:09] (Flashback) Alvarto**
Though saying that won't get
through to a fool like you
**[15:12] (Flashback) Alvarto**
who's grown fond of her mortal enemy.
**[15:14] (Flashback) Alvarto**
Therefore, I'll force you to dance for me.
**[15:31] (Flashback) Varvatos**
Farewell, my friend.
**[15:43] (Flashback) Alvarto**
What I just showed you is the truth
from several thousand years ago.
**[15:47] Alvarto**
The Champion Lydia is
no longer in this world.
**[15:50] Alvarto**
Kill your enemy!
**[15:52] Alvarto**
Strike down the Demon Lord!
**[15:54] Alvarto**
That is your only reason for living!
**[15:59] Alvarto**
There are no alterations to
the ending laid out for you.
**[16:02] Alvarto**
Play the fool until the very last
and this tale will end a comedy!
**[16:08] Alvarto**
I look forward to it so very much!
**[16:13] Sylphy**
Die!
**[16:22] Sylphy**
He's dead.
**[16:23] Sylphy**
He's dead, he's dead!
**[16:25] Sylphy**
I did it, Big Sis!
**[16:29] Sylphy**
Big Sis...?
**[16:40] Sylphy**
Big Sis... isn't here.
**[16:43] Sylphy**
A world without Big Sis is...
**[16:46] Sylphy**
Vel.
**[16:47] Sylphy**
Stena.
**[16:48] Ireena**
What are you doing?!
**[16:50] Ireena**
Do you even understand what
you're doing right now?!
**[16:55] Ireena**
Giga Shield!
**[17:02] Ginny**
I won't go easy on you
any longer, Miss Sylphy!
**[17:09] Ireena**
No way...
**[17:11] Ginny**
Miss Ireena, allow me, too!
**[17:17] Ireena**
Ginny!
**[17:18] Ireena**
Sylphy, I'll be the one to stop you!
**[17:22] Sylphy**
I'll kill you, too.
**[17:24] Ireena**
Because I'm...
**[17:26] Ireena**
I'm...
**[17:28] Ireena**
I'm this girl's big sister!
**[17:30] Ard**
Stop it, Sylphy!
**[17:37] Ard**
Are you two all right?
**[17:40] Ireena**
Ard!
**[17:41] Sylphy**
Demon Lord!
**[17:42] Sylphy**
Demon Lord!
**[17:43] Sylphy**
Demon Lord!
**[17:44] Ard**
That's enough, Sylphy.
**[17:48] Sylphy**
Die!
**[17:50] Ard**
Even cancellation magic won't
break her mind control?
**[17:53] Ard**
In that case,
**[17:55] Ard**
there's only one option!
**[17:59] Ard**
* I don't want to turn you,*
* the Raging Champion, into a butcher.*
**[18:03] Ard**
* I want you to be etched into people's*
* hearts as a proud, noble warrior.*
**[18:10] Ard**
*So I...*
**[18:13] Ard**
*will...*
**[18:18] Ard**
*Five...*
**[18:20] Ard**
*Four...*
**[18:22] Ard**
*Three...*
**[18:25] Ard**
*Two...*
**[18:27] Ard**
*One...*
**[18:34] Lydia**
Stop, Sylphy!
**[18:41] Sylphy**
Big Sis?
**[18:50] Ard**
Lydia?
**[18:52] Alvarto**
My, my...
**[18:54] Alvarto**
It's actually refreshing when someone
proves this utterly useless.
**[19:04] Alvarto**
Worthless dog.
**[19:06] Ard**
Were you the one who brainwashed Sylphy?
**[19:09] Alvarto**
And if I was?
**[19:11] Ard**
What are you after?
**[19:13] Alvarto**
Why, you.
**[19:14] Alvarto**
We long for the revival of our master.
**[19:18] Alvarto**
To accomplish that, we must
sacrifice that young lady there.
**[19:22] Alvarto**
To those ends, you are
nothing but a hindrance.
**[19:26] Alvarto**
Which is why I took
measures to eliminate you.
**[19:29] Alvarto**
Now then, shall we have a go?!
**[19:44] Alvarto**
Arstella. Foto—
**[19:45] Ard**
Too slow!
**[19:51] Ard**
You're not worthy of that sword.
**[19:59] Alvarto**
I'll take the entire royal
capital out with me!
**[20:02] Alvarto**
Vel. Stena. Ol—
**[20:12] Ard**
Holy Swords choose their wielders.
**[20:14] Ard**
Looks like you were never chosen.
**[20:21] Ard**
Now behold.
**[20:22] Ard**
This is how you use a Holy Sword.
**[20:25] Ard**
Vel. Stena. Olvidius.
**[20:29] Alvarto**
Wh-What?!
**[20:35] Alvarto**
I-Impossible! That can't be!
**[20:46] Ard**
Is this over?
**[20:48] Ard**
No, that would be too foolish.
**[21:01] Lydia**
You dumbass.
**[21:05] Ard**
Lydia?
**[21:20] Lydia**
You big dumbass.
**[21:24] Sylphy**
Big Sis?
**[21:26] Lydia**
You haven't changed at all, have you?
**[21:30] Sylphy**
Big Sis!
**[21:31] Sylphy**
I...! I...!
**[21:34] Lydia**
Hey, Sylphy, don't blame Var.
**[21:38] Lydia**
He's not at fault.
**[21:42] Lydia**
Besides, there's still more
to like about this world.
**[21:46] Lydia**
So live to your fullest.
**[21:49] Lydia**
After you've lived out a full life,
**[21:50] Lydia**
then let us meet again, Sylphy.
**[21:56] Sylphy**
Big Sis!
**[22:07] Ard**
Dumbass, huh?

**[00:11] Ireena**
That's five wins in a row!
**[00:13] Ginny**
That's ten losses in a row!
**[00:19] Ireena**
Just how unlucky are you?
**[00:21] Ginny**
Here we are on a field trip,
**[00:24] Ginny**
and I'm already finished.
**[00:26] Ard**
Come on, it's barely even started.
**[00:30] Ard**
It's just a game, so you're overreacting.
**[00:32] Ireena**
Uh-huh.
**[00:33] Ireena**
In fact, you should think about it positively—
that card absolutely loves you.
**[00:37] Ireena**
Okay, let's start the next round!
**[00:45] Ginny**
Having the Frenzied King of Dragons'
love me doesn't make me happy!
**[00:48] Ginny**
Why, you! You! You!
**[00:51] Ard**
*Elzard...*
**[00:53] Ard**
* Even if she was an enemy, I feel bad*
* about her getting this treatment.*
**[00:59] Ard**
* So this is the magic scholar Verda*
* and the Champion Lydia.*
**[01:03] Ard**
*How did those two end up like this?*
**[01:06] Ard**
* Well, history typically exaggerates*
* and idealizes anyway.*
**[01:25] Ireena**
Wh-What?
**[01:26] Ginny**
Something's not right.
**[01:28] Ard**
This is probably—
**[01:36] Ireena**
A-Ard, is this?!
**[01:39] Ard**
Yes.
**[01:41] Voice**
Welcome,
**[01:43] Voice**
chosen ones.
***SIGN*** The Greatest Demon Lord
Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody
**[03:18] Ard**
Are you a demon?
**[03:21] MysteriousChild**
Humans tend to call the unknown evil.
**[03:24] MysteriousChild**
In that sense, perhaps I am a demon, as well.
**[03:28] MysteriousChild**
However, if you focus on my true
nature, then I am no demon.
**[03:33] Ard**
Then what are you?
**[03:35] MysteriousChild**
If I were to express it using your language,
**[03:39] MysteriousChild**
then the word "god" might be appropriate.
**[03:48] Ard**
A god, you say?
**[03:50] Ard**
We'll leave it at that for now.
**[03:53] Ard**
So, what is it you desire from us?
**[03:56] MysteriousChild**
There are an infinite number of worlds,
**[03:58] MysteriousChild**
past and future repeating indefinitely.
**[04:01] MysteriousChild**
Time gone by will never come back.
**[04:04] MysteriousChild**
However, "that being" is
trying to upset that order.
**[04:07] MysteriousChild**
Trying to transcend those
laws and alter the world.
**[04:12] MysteriousChild**
The encounter with the Demon Lord
**[04:15] MysteriousChild**
will greatly shake your world,
**[04:17] MysteriousChild**
and one shall vanish.
**[04:19] Ard**
I'm sorry, but could you please
explain it so we can understand, too?
**[04:26] MysteriousChild**
I want you to eliminate "that being."
**[04:32] MysteriousChild**
I pray that you are the one to remain.
**[04:38] MysteriousChild**
Now, farewell.
**[04:48] Ireena**
Where are we?
**[04:50] Ginny**
Th-That's...
**[04:57] Ard**
Well, this is quite unexpected.
**[05:01] Ard**
It would seem that we have been
transported to ancient times.
**[05:06] Ireena**
W-We're in ancient times?
**[05:09] Ginny**
How can you tell that?
**[05:11] Ard**
As you can see, there are
two moons in the sky.
**[05:14] Ard**
It's an impossible sight in our world.
**[05:18] Ard**
Long ago, a certain event caused
one of the moons to be lost.
**[05:22] Ard**
It was an event that occurred during ancient times.
**[05:26] Ireena**
So you're saying we were
sent to the ancient past?
**[05:28] Ard**
Yes. Judging from the sights around us,
**[05:32] Ard**
I believe we are in the
Makina District of the Vardia Empire,
**[05:36] Ard**
the great nation governed
by Demon Lord Varvatos.
**[05:41] Ard**
*Assuming my memory is correct, that is.*
**[05:44] Ginny**
The age of the Demon Lord's rule...
**[05:47] Ireena**
The Demon Lord?
**[05:48] Ireena**
That's right, he mentioned—
**[05:50] Ard**
Yes.
**[05:51] Ard**
Considering what that thing
calling itself a god told us,
**[05:55] Ard**
the Demon Lord should be
alive during this time.
**[05:59] Ard**
Which means...
**[06:01] Ard**
we can assume we'll make progress
**[06:03] Ard**
if we're able to get an audience
with the Demon Lord.
**[06:07] Ginny**
A-An audience with the Demon Lord?!
**[06:10] Ard**
Then we need to fulfill the request of this
**[06:13] Ard**
self-proclaimed god-child
and eliminate "that being".
**[06:16] Ard**
Most likely, once we're
able to achieve that...
**[06:19] Ginny**
We'll be able to return to our time!
**[06:22] Ard**
Therefore,
**[06:24] Ard**
our initial objectives should be meeting
the Demon Lord and eliminating "that being."
**[06:30] Ard**
Those are our two goals.
**[06:33] Ireen**
Yeah, but just telling us it's "that being"
doesn't give us any clues, does it?
**[06:40] Ard**
We'll meet the Demon Lord.
**[06:42] Ard**
That will be our first objective, however...
**[06:57] Girl**
Damn it!
**[07:00] Ireena**
Wh-What's that?
**[07:01] Ard**
I'm certain that's a Death Stinger.
**[07:04] Ginny**
That thing is?!
**[07:06] Ginny**
That's completely different
than the ones we know of!
**[07:17] Ard**
This might be none of our business,
**[07:19] Ard**
but shall we help her out?
**[07:45] Girl**
A-A Death Stinger... in a single blow?
**[07:53] Ginny**
That's our Ardy!
**[07:56] Ireena**
This was nothing for Ard!
**[08:04] Olivia**
You're quite strong, aren't you?
**[08:08] Olivia**
Let me thank you for saving my subordinate.
**[08:12] Both**
Lady Olivia!
**[08:15] Olivia**
Who are you?
**[08:16] Olivia**
Have we met somewhere before?
**[08:18] Ireena**
U-Uh, um...
**[08:20] Ginny**
We, um...
**[08:23] Ard**
My apologies.
**[08:25] Ard**
These two envy and admire your reputation.
**[08:30] Ard**
That's why they're overly affectionate.
**[08:34] Ard**
Please go easy on them.
**[08:36] Olivia**
That so?
**[08:51] Olivia**
You're unfazed?
**[08:53] Ard**
From so little, yes.
**[08:56] Olivia**
Very well. Then follow me.
**[09:06] Ireena**
Y-You know...
**[09:15] Ireena**
It feels like we're really in a legend.
**[09:23] Olivia**
You seem interested in the state of the city.
**[09:27] Ard**
Yes. It's been a long time since
I last visited this region.
**[09:32] Olivia**
What's your name?
**[09:35] Ard**
I'm Ard Meteor.
**[09:37] Ard**
May I ask why you've brought
us here, Lady Olivia?
**[09:41] Olivia**
I'll be blunt. Ard Meteor, join our forces.
**[09:48] Olivia**
As you know, this is an
age of powerful champions.
**[09:52] Olivia**
Those from beyond...
**[09:54] Olivia**
The Outer Ones are attacking.
**[09:57] Olivia**
Ever since, the demons they give birth to
**[10:00] ---**
have been clashing with humanity
in intensifying battles.
**[10:04] Olivia**
The current state of the war is
thanks to our king, Varvatos,
**[10:10] Olivia**
developing magic for humanity.
**[10:12] Olivia**
From what I can tell, you're quite
talented at the use of magic.
**[10:16] Olivia**
Not to mention pulling off that level
of destruction without a chant.
**[10:20] Olivia**
You could potentially contribute
greatly to our cause.
**[10:24] Ard**
I see.
**[10:26] Ard**
And to put it another way, you can't allow
someone with such power to roam free?
**[10:32] Ard**
I have two conditions.
**[10:35] Olivia**
State them.
**[10:36] Ard**
First is that you allow these two,
Ireena and Ginny, to join, as well.
**[10:40] Ireena**
Ard!
**[10:40] Ginny**
Ardy...
**[10:41] Olivia**
You want them to die early?
**[10:44] Ard**
I'll be sure to protect them.
**[10:46] Olivia**
So what's your other condition?
**[10:49] Olivia**
We'd also like to be enlisted
as part of Lady Verda's forces.
**[10:54] Olivia**
Verda's?!
**[10:55] Olivia**
Do you understand the meaning
of what you're suggesting?
**[10:59] Ard**
Yes, of course I do.
**[11:03] Ard**
What do you say?
**[11:05] Olivia**
A man of your combat prowess
requesting logistical support...
**[11:10] Ard**
Despite appearances,
we're fledgling magic scholars.
**[11:14] Ard**
Besides, I don't have much ambition.
**[11:17] Olivia**
True, most of her troops
are scholars or researchers.
**[11:22] Olivia**
They're not good at combat, so their
missions are mostly logistics and healing.
**[11:26] Olivia**
They do have the lowest
casualty rate in our army.
**[11:30] Ard**
If you're willing to accept those conditions,
**[11:33] Ard**
then we'll serve His Majesty starting today.
**[11:38] Olivia**
Very well.
**[11:40] Olivia**
I'll use my authority to
place you directly under her.
**[11:45] Ireena**
This is... the Magic Scholar
Verda's research center...
**[11:50] Ginny**
So this is where we'll be stationed?
**[11:54] Ard**
* If we're in her army, the chances those two*
* will be exposed to danger drops drastically.*
**[11:59] Ard**
* Sitting back under Verda's command is the*
* safest place for us to be in this era.*
**[12:05] Ard**
*Though it pains me greatly to do that.*
**[12:14] Ireena**
It settled down?
**[12:15] Ginny**
Was there an accident?
**[12:17] Ard**
*You're both too naïve.*
**[12:19] Ard**
*Our hell has only just begun.*
**[12:23] Verda**
What a huge success!
**[12:26] Verda**
I knew I could do it!
This experiment went perfectly!
**[12:30] Verda**
Hmm?
**[12:31] Verda**
My, my, we have some cute guests here.
**[12:34] Verda**
Did you see, did you? Just now?
**[12:36] Verda**
My genius is exploding out again!
**[12:39] Verda**
Physically, too!
**[12:41] Verda**
Just kidding.
**[12:44] Ginny**
Uh, um, was this all right?
**[12:47] Ginny**
The research center was completely wrecked.
**[12:50] Ireena**
Won't Lady Verda be angry?
**[12:52] Verda**
This happens all the time.
**[12:54] Verda**
Not mad at all.
**[12:56] Verda**
Though what business did you have with me?
**[12:59] Ireena**
We have something to discuss with Lady Verda.
**[13:01] Ginny**
If she's in, we'd like you to call her for us,
but more importantly, is she okay?
**[13:06] Verda**
What are you two talking about?
**[13:08] Verda**
Verda's right here, you know.
**[13:10] Both**
Huh?
**[13:12] Verda**
I'm Verda!
**[13:14] Verda**
The beautiful, genius girl and magic scholar!
**[13:16] Verda**
Got it now?!
**[13:25] Both**
Huh?!
**[13:30] Verda**
My goodness, you're so rude.
**[13:33] Verda**
Didn't your parents teach you not
to judge a book by its cover?
**[13:37] Ireena**
Yeah, but...
**[13:38] Ginny**
This is just...
**[13:40] Verda**
Anyway, just wait here.
**[13:42] Verda**
I'll restore the research center now.
**[13:46] Verda**
Wow!
**[13:48] Verda**
People joining my service? That's rare.
**[13:50] Verda**
Are you big fans or something?
**[13:55] Verda**
I guess my time has finally come!
**[13:58] Ireena**
This girl really is Lady Verda, isn't she?
**[14:01] Ginny**
I-It's still hard to believe...
**[14:04] Ginny**
I'm not sure I want to believe it...
**[14:06] Verda**
Anyway, I know you came here
with Olivia's introduction.
**[14:11] Verda**
So?
**[14:12] Verda**
That's the not the only reason, is it?
**[14:16] Ard**
Then allow me to explain who we are.
**[14:23] Verda**
The future?!
**[14:24] Verda**
You all came from the future?!
Seriously? For real?! You mean it?!
**[14:29] Verda**
I was already getting
close to the existence of
**[14:31] ---**
a higher-dimensional being that wasn't
the old gods or the Outer Ones,
**[14:35] Verda**
but I didn't think it would
get proven like this!
**[14:38] Verda**
Oh, man! My excitement is through the roof!
**[14:42] Ireena**
U-Um...
**[14:43] Ginny**
Lady Verda?
**[14:46] Verda**
Oh, right, right.
**[14:48] Verda**
Anyway, I understand your situation.
**[14:50] Verda**
I'll take you all in.
**[14:53] Verda**
I'll help you all find a
way back to your time, too.
**[14:56] Both**
Thank goodness.
**[14:57] Verda**
However, in return...
**[14:59] Sylphy**
Hello!
**[15:04] Ard**
Yeesh...
**[15:05] Ireena**
S-Sylphy?!
**[15:07] Ginny**
No, something's different about her.
**[15:11] Sylphy**
I found you!
**[15:13] Sylphy**
I'm not letting you escape
this time, you fool!
**[15:16] Sylphy**
Just give it up this time!
**[15:21] Sylphy**
Go ahead and get her! Big Sis Lydia!
**[15:37] Ard**
*Lydia?!*
**[15:46] Ireena**
That's the legendary...
**[15:48] Ginny**
...Champion!
**[15:52] Lydia**
Verda, you bitch!
**[15:54] Lydia**
I've been telling you you're not
sending enough support units!
**[15:57] Lydia**
Are you mocking me?!
**[15:59] Lydia**
Send us twice as many damn troops!
**[16:01] Lydia**
If you don't, I'll shove my hand so far
up your ass, it'll reach your brain!
**[16:07] Verda**
Now, now, calm down, Lydie.
**[16:11] Verda**
I'm pretty sure I sent a sufficient
number of support units.
**[16:14] Lydia**
Like I've been saying!
**[16:15] Lydia**
It's high time for something really
bad to show up, you hear?!
**[16:19] Lydia**
My intuition's screaming at me!
**[16:25] Verda**
Fine, then. You can use those three.
**[16:28] Both**
Huh?
**[16:29] Lydia**
Huh?
**[16:30] Lydia**
Who are those—
**[16:39] Lydia**
What's your name, young lady?
**[16:40] Ginny**
Huh? M-Me? I-I'm Ginny.
**[16:45] Lydia**
How about it, young lady?
**[16:47] Lydia**
Care to join me for a dreamy
time at my villa right now?
**[16:51] Ginny**
Huh? W-Wait, wh-what do you mean?
**[16:55] Lydia**
That reaction. Are you...
**[16:59] Lydia**
You're kidding me, right?!
**[17:01] Lydia**
You're a succubus and you're a virgin?
**[17:02] Lydia**
What the hell? That's great!
**[17:07] Ginny**
Wh-What?!
**[17:08] Lydia**
You've got a nice ass, young lady.
**[17:13] Ginny**
Ah, hey, n-not there!
**[17:18] Ginny**
Ardy!
**[17:20] Lydia**
What the hell are you doing?
**[17:22] Ard**
My apologies, but we just
arrived in the city today,
**[17:27] Ard**
so these ladies are quite worn out.
**[17:30] Ard**
So please restrain yourself,
in various senses of the phrase.
**[17:34] Lydia**
Why, you!
**[17:35] Lydia**
Don't go interfering with
another person's romance!
**[17:37] Ard**
Romance?
**[17:38] Ard**
Are you sure you don't mean "sex crime"?
**[17:40] Lydia**
Huh?! Are you picking a fight?!
**[17:44] Lydia**
Step outside!
**[17:47] Ard**
Very well.
**[17:51] Ireena**
A-Ard!
**[17:52] Ginny**
Ardy!
**[17:57] Ard**
You two wait here please.
**[18:55] Ard**
You're always like this.
**[18:58] Ard**
Always such an awful disposition.
**[19:01] Lydia**
Huh?! What did you say to me?! Huh?!
**[20:01] Lydia**
You're not bad.
**[20:03] Ard**
You weren't as impressive as I expected.
**[20:12] Lydia**
You're not very convincing
with your face so beat up.
**[20:17] Ard**
Your own face looks like a goblin's, too.
**[20:22] Ard**
Serves you right.
**[20:29] Ard**
*Sheesh, what an awful era.*
**[20:31] Ard**
*I want to return to the modern era already.*
**[20:34] Lydia**
Honestly, you're one interesting bastard.
**[20:38] Lydia**
Ard, was it?
**[20:40] Lydia**
You bring those two with you
and come be our support units.
**[20:44] Lydia**
To be honest, I'd like to tell
you to come to the front lines.
**[20:47] Lydia**
But you have your reasons, right?
**[20:49] Lydia**
Otherwise you wouldn't join up under Verda.
**[20:53] Ard**
If you can pick up on that much,
**[20:56] Ard**
then please don't ask the unreasonable.
**[21:00] Lydia**
I need your power.
**[21:12] Lydia**
Don't make me spell it out.
**[21:14] Lydia**
It's embarrassing.
**[21:17] Ard**
Can I ask you one thing?
**[21:19] Lydia**
What's that?
**[21:20] Ard**
I've heard you're on good
terms with His Majesty.
**[21:23] Ard**
Would it be possible for us
to get an audience with him?
**[21:27] Lydia**
You want to meet him?
**[21:29] Ard**
Yes.
**[21:31] Lydia**
I don't mind that,
**[21:33] Lydia**
but even if I put in a good word,
he'll hate the idea.
**[21:36] Ard**
*True.*
**[21:38] Lydia**
If you want to meet him, then go
accomplish something and win his trust.
**[21:44] Lydia**
He'll only open up to those he trusts.
**[21:49] Ard**
Very well.
**[21:51] Lydia**
All right! It's settled, then!

**[00:07] Lydia**
Gin-gin!
**[00:10] Lydia**
Let's wash each other's backs!
**[00:11] Ginny**
No, thank you!
**[00:12] Lydia**
Let me rub your sudsy boobs!
**[00:22] Latima**
Excuse me.
**[00:24] Latima**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[00:26] Latima**
I'm Latima.
**[00:28] Latima**
You'll all be staying here in this
villa until our next expedition.
**[00:33] Latima**
Lady Lydia has informed me
**[00:36] Latima**
you all are welcome to use this home as
you would your own or your close friend's.
**[00:41] Latima**
Please relax and make yourself at home.
**[00:45] Ard**
We're grateful.
**[00:49] Ard**
*Like a close friend's home, huh?*
**[00:54] Ard**
*And yet I killed someone so irreplaceable.*
**[01:00] Ard**
* Do I even have any right to call*
* her a close friend anymore?*
**[01:05] Lydia**
This sensation!
**[01:06] Lydia**
This volume!
**[01:07] Lydia**
They're the best!
**[01:09] Ginny**
Don't grope my breasts!
**[01:14] Ard**
*She's still a scumbag.*
***SIGN*** The Greatest Demon Lord
Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody
**[02:51] Ginny**
It's starting, isn't it?
**[02:53] Ireena**
W-Will we be okay?
**[02:56] Ard**
Our Verda Army is on standby
**[02:59] Ard**
in a location far removed
from the front lines.
**[03:02] Ard**
We won't be coming into major
conflict with the enemy.
**[03:06] Ard**
Even on the off chance that we do,
**[03:08] Ard**
that magic equipment will protect you two.
**[03:13] Ard**
*Judging from Verda and Lydia's conversations,*
**[03:17] Ard**
*we're currently in the past age when I,*
**[03:20] Ard**
* that is, the Demon Lord Varvatos,*
* was expanding his forces*
**[03:24] Ard**
* and the battle against the demons and the*
* Outer Ones was entering its final stages.*
**[03:29] Ard**
*Plus, from what I can see,*
**[03:31] Ard**
* this is the probably the*
* Battle of Aralia Plains.*
**[03:34] Ard**
*Demons ruled over the Aralia Plains,*
**[03:38] Ard**
* and the combined forces of*
* the Lydia Army and Verda Army*
**[03:42] Ard**
* took down the many fortresses*
* and castle towns built there,*
**[03:45] Ard**
* building the foundation for*
* our control of the continent.*
**[03:51] Ard**
* I don't recall this battle*
* being any trouble, however.*
**[03:56] Lydia**
Advance!
**[04:15] SoldierAdlib**
My stomach hurts!
**[04:16] VerdaSoldierA**
Medics! Call the medics!
**[04:18] VerdaSoldierC**
Don't come back over that little!
**[04:19] SoldierAdlib**
You all right?
**[04:20] VerdaSoldierC**
Get back to the front-lines pronto!
**[04:22] SoldierAdlib**
I know!
**[04:23] SoldierAdlib**
Argh, my leg!
**[04:24] VerdaSoldierF**
Oh, I've left that corpse alone on purpose.
**[04:27] VerdaSoldierF**
It's for Lady Verda's data collection.
**[04:32] Ginny**
Miss Ireena!
**[04:33] Ginny**
We need to carry this
container to the supply squad!
**[04:37] Ireena**
I-I know.
**[04:41] Ireena**
Wh-What was that?
**[04:42] Ard**
Hmm, it seems like an enemy attack.
**[04:52] Bulgan**
Weep!
**[04:53] Bulgan**
Lament!
**[04:54] Bulgan**
Let your guts scatter across the ground!
**[05:03] Ireena**
I-I thought the enemy
wouldn't come to the rear?
**[05:06] Ard**
It looks like this enemy had some brains.
**[05:09] Ard**
Crushing the enemy's supplies and
medics is a standard tactic of war.
**[05:14] Ard**
My prediction that we'd
be safe back here was off,
**[05:18] Ard**
but that's even better for us.
**[05:20] Ard**
* This might not be enough*
* to meet the Demon Lord,*
**[05:24] Ard**
*but an achievement is still an achievement.*
**[05:37] Lydia**
Something's off.
**[05:39] Lydia**
I can't believe he hasn't shown himself,
even after we've advanced so far.
**[05:42] Messenger**
I have news!
**[05:44] Messenger**
The Verda Army supporting our rear suffered
a surprise attack from the enemy!
**[05:48] Lydia**
Hidden forces? How many?
**[05:50] Messenger**
There were not that many of them.
**[05:52] Messenger**
However, the one leading them
**[05:55] Messenger**
is the enemy commander, Bulgan.
**[05:56] Lydia**
What?!
**[06:12] Bulgan**
Impossible!
**[06:14] Bulgan**
I can't—
**[06:24] Ard**
I guess he was all show.
**[06:27] Ard**
Is everyone all right?
**[06:29] Ard**
Hm?
**[06:33] Sylphy**
Big Sis Lydia?
**[06:35] Lydia**
Apparently, it was over
before we even arrived.
**[06:39] Ard**
Well, he wasn't even worth killing,
**[06:42] Ard**
but even a general this
weak is still a general.
**[06:45] Ard**
So I made sure to capture him alive.
**[06:47] Lydia**
This weak?
**[06:50] Lydia**
That's the big general we've
been trying to take down.
**[06:54] Ard**
Huh? The big general?
**[06:58] Sylphy**
You stole the glory from us!
**[07:00] Sylphy**
You cheeky new recruit!
**[07:03] Ireena**
Ard is just that awesome!
**[07:05] Ireena**
That's my Ard!
**[07:08] Lydia**
Well, either way.
**[07:10] Lydia**
You're impressive!
**[07:13] Lydia**
It's a just matter of time now,
**[07:16] Lydia**
until you meet with Varvy.
**[07:18] Ireena**
Varvy?
**[07:20] Ginny**
Is that?
**[07:21] Lydia**
Of course.
**[07:23] Lydia**
I'm talking about Varvatos.
**[07:29] Ireena**
Th-This is the Castle Millennion?
**[07:33] Ginny**
It's an amazing castle,
**[07:36] Ginny**
befitting that great man!
**[07:40] Ard**
* Beautiful, isn't it? Epic, isn't it?*
* And above all, it's cool, isn't it? My castle!*
**[07:50] Ireena**
Th-The inside's incredible, too.
**[07:52] Ginny**
I've never seen a building more worthy of
being described as luxurious and gorgeous.
**[07:58] Sylphy**
Hmph!
**[07:59] Sylphy**
There's nothing fun about this castle!
It's just big.
**[08:04] Sylphy**
The castle that Big Sis built
is a million times better!
**[08:10] Sylphy**
Wh-What?
**[08:12] Sylphy**
Is there something on my face?
**[08:14] Ard**
No, it's nothing.
**[08:16] Ireena**
I-It's finally happening!
**[08:19] Ireena**
I can't believe we'll get
to see him in person!
**[08:23] Ginny**
It feels like this is going
too smoothly, and I'm scared.
**[08:27] Ard**
*True.*
**[08:29] Ard**
* When I was in my prime, that is,*
* when I was Varvatos in this castle,*
**[08:33] Ard**
*such a feat would come naturally.*
**[08:35] Ard**
*Yet right now I'm Ard Meteor.*
**[08:39] Ard**
* If a nameless, common soldier easily*
* defeated a big general, I'd be suspicious.*
**[08:56] Alvarto**
Bravo, bravo!
**[09:01] Alvarto**
Oh, my apologies.
**[09:03] Alvarto**
Please take that as my
praise for your endeavors.
**[09:07] Alvarto**
After all, this is the only
way I can express my respect.
**[09:12] Ard**
I've heard much about you, Sir Alvarto.
**[09:19] Lydia**
You're the same as always, aren't you?
**[09:23] Lydia**
If you want a fight that badly,
I'll be your opponent.
**[09:27] Alvarto**
I'd have no complaints about
sparring with the Champion.
**[09:31] Alvarto**
However, right now I would like to
savor the heights of the unknown.
**[09:39] Varvatos**
Lydia, Alvarto, why are you
two always causing trouble?
**[09:57] Lydia**
Long time no see, Varvy.
**[10:01] Alvarto**
You're as lovely as ever today, my lord.
**[10:04] Sylphy**
Tch.
**[10:05] Ireena**
Th-That's...
**[10:08] Ginny**
I can't...
**[10:10] Ireena**
Ginny?! Get a grip!
**[10:11] Ireena**
Hey! Ginny, come on! Ginny!
**[10:26] Varvatos**
I don't recall summoning you, Alvarto.
**[10:29] Varvatos**
How many promising recruits
have you crushed this way?
**[10:33] Varvatos**
That's why I wanted to hold this
audience in secret, but as usual...
**[10:38] Alvarto**
I'm overjoyed by your praise.
**[10:42] Varvatos**
Either way, you should leave now.
**[10:45] Varvatos**
Otherwise...
**[10:47] Alvarto**
I understand.
**[10:49] Alvarto**
I shall take my leave for now.
**[11:03] Ard**
*I've been alive for a long time,*
**[11:04] Ard**
* but this is the first time*
* I've been jealous of myself.*
**[11:08] Varvatos**
So you are Ard Meteor?
**[11:12] Ard**
Yes, I am, Your Majesty.
**[11:18] Varvatos**
Follow me.
**[11:20] Lydia**
Still, it really has been a long time, huh?
**[11:24] Lydia**
Hey, weren't you starting to miss me by now?
**[11:29] Lydia**
You don't have any friends
aside from me, after all.
**[11:33] Varvatos**
You're calling yourself a friend?
**[11:36] Lydia**
What, acting all shy now?
**[11:43] Varvatos**
You all may relax, as well.
**[11:47] ServantA**
Your Majesty, would you
like something to drink?
**[11:49] ServantB**
Your Majesty, I've brought a light meal.
**[11:51] ServantC**
Your Majesty, would you like a massage?!
**[11:54] ServantD**
Restrain yourself, servant!
**[11:56] ServantD**
You must not touch His Majesty's body!
**[11:59] Varvatos**
All of you are dismissed.
**[12:01] Servants**
Yes, sir!
**[12:02] Ireena**
The Demon Lord is far prettier than I imagined.
**[12:06] Ginny**
Pretty?!
**[12:08] Ginny**
Such a common form of expression
is worthy of death, Miss Ireena!
**[12:12] Ginny**
The Demon Lord can only be
described with loftier words!
**[12:18] Varvatos**
You there, young lady.
**[12:19] Varvatos**
who is this Demon Lord you refer to?
**[12:22] Both**
What?! Um, well...
**[12:26] Ard**
They merely voiced the other
name Your Majesty is known by.
**[12:30] Ard**
They were simply copying the
title they heard in the ports.
**[12:37] Ard**
Were you... not aware of that?
**[12:39] Ard**
*That's odd.*
**[12:40] Ard**
* The title of "Demon Lord" was*
* already taking root by this time.*
**[12:45] Varvatos**
Now that's an odd story.
**[12:48] Varvatos**
I know there is another
known as Demon Lord...
**[12:52] Ard**
There's another Demon Lord?
**[12:56] Varvatos**
But people now call me that?
**[12:59] Ard**
No, I'm sure it must have
been our misunderstanding.
**[13:04] Ard**
My sincerest apologies for the
strange slip of the tongue.
**[13:13] Verda**
Oh?
**[13:14] Verda**
So then what, then what?
**[13:16] Ard**
Nothing.
**[13:18] Ard**
He didn't demand anything of us,
**[13:20] Ard**
and I didn't speak to him
about that any further.
**[13:25] Ireena**
I can't believe there are two Demon Lords.
**[13:28] Ginny**
What do you think could be going on?
**[13:30] Verda**
I think it's safe to assume that
who you consider the Demon Lord
**[13:34] Verda**
and who we consider the Demon
Lord are two different people.
**[13:39] Ard**
Meaning?
**[13:41] Verda**
If I may speak in bold conjecture,
**[13:44] Verda**
I think it's possible that your history
differs from the history of our dimension.
**[13:52] Ard**
Dimension?
**[13:54] Verda**
This is just a theory, as well,
**[13:56] Verda**
but I think someone altered history.
**[13:59] Verda**
And that alteration gave rise to this dimension's
Demon Lord that all of you don't recognize.
**[14:07] Ard**
There's also what that
self-proclaimed god said.
**[14:10] (Flashback) Mysterious Child**
However, "that being" is
trying to upset that order.
**[14:13] (Flashback) Mysterious Child**
Trying to transcend those
laws and alter the world.
**[14:18] (Flashback) Mysterious Child**
The encounter with the Demon Lord
**[14:21] (Flashback) Mysterious Child**
will greatly shake your world,
**[14:23] (Flashback) Mysterious Child**
and one shall vanish.
**[14:25] (Flashback) Mysterious Child**
I want you to eliminate "that being."
**[14:30] Ard**
I think we misinterpreted what
that self-proclaimed god said.
**[14:34] Ireena**
Huh?
**[14:35] Ard**
The self-proclaimed god demanded
that we meet the Demon Lord,
**[14:39] Ard**
and that we eliminate "that being."
**[14:42] Ard**
But if those two demands represent
the same thing, then...
**[14:47] Ginny**
Th-Then the one that's altering
history is this world's Demon Lord,
**[14:51] Ginny**
and if we defeat him to restore our history,
**[14:53] Ginny**
we'll be able to return to our world?
**[14:57] Ard**
Most likely.
**[14:59] Ard**
I thought meeting the
Demon Lord, or rather His Majesty,
**[15:02] Ard**
would greatly advance our quest, though.
**[15:05] Ginny**
Way to go, Ardy!
**[15:07] Ginny**
I mean, thanks to your deduction
**[15:10] ---**
we now know that this world's Demon Lord
is the one we need to defeat!
**[15:14] Ard**
That's still just a theory, and even if want
to defeat him, we know nothing about him...
**[15:18] Ireena**
Then why don't we ask
for Lord Varvatos's help?
**[15:22] Verda**
Oh, that's impossible.
**[15:24] Ireena**
Huh? Why?!
**[15:26] Verda**
For one thing, the Demon Lord of this world
**[15:29] Verda**
appeared out of nowhere
about three years ago,
**[15:33] Verda**
and he conquered the lands between the
Outer Ones' territory and our own in no time.
**[15:39] Verda**
To be honest, we don't know
what the Demon Lord is after.
**[15:42] Verda**
We've tried to negotiate, but he ignores us.
**[15:45] Verda**
Varvy fought him once,
but he couldn't fully defeat him.
**[15:50] Ireena**
Even Lord Varvatos couldn't defeat him?
**[15:53] Ard**
I see. Then His Majesty wouldn't
act without sufficient cause.
**[15:57] Verda**
That's right.
**[15:59] Verda**
You understand Varvy well.
**[16:02] Ard**
I suppose.
**[16:03] Ginny**
Um,
**[16:05] Ginny**
why don't we try revealing
our situation to His Majesty?
**[16:09] Ireena**
Our situation?
**[16:10] Ginny**
Yes.
**[16:12] Ginny**
We tell him that we're from the future.
**[16:15] Ginny**
Then if we explain the
danger of the Demon Lord...
**[16:19] Ard**
I see.
**[16:21] Ard**
However, we haven't earned enough of
His Majesty's trust to ask for his help.
**[16:28] Ireena**
Which means...
**[16:29] Ard**
It could be possible to persuade him
if we earn more achievements for him.
**[16:35] Ard**
Though the problem would be what constitutes
an achievement big enough to earn his trust.
**[16:41] Lydia**
Hey! Is Ard here?!
**[16:53] Lydia**
What's brought this on?
**[16:56] Lydia**
You agreed instantly, despite
wanting to work as logistical support.
**[17:01] Lydia**
Time for battle!
**[17:02] Lydia**
You're joining me on the front lines!
**[17:05] Ard**
Roger that!
**[17:08] Ard**
Yes, well, you could say
it's just what we needed.
**[17:13] Sylphy**
I bet you're just enjoying the
taste of your last victory!
**[17:17] Sylphy**
This time I'm taking the glory, though!
**[17:20] Lydia**
Glory aside,
**[17:23] Lydia**
it was wise to leave those
two behind this time,
**[17:27] Lydia**
considering who we'll be facing.
**[17:30] Ard**
Who's that?
**[17:34] Lydia**
Mevilas the Curse King.
**[17:41] Sylphy**
Looks like even you're scared.
**[17:44] Ard**
I have certainly heard his name before.
**[17:48] Sylphy**
Huh? Only his name?
**[17:51] Sylphy**
You should've heard more than
that! He's a really major enemy.
**[17:55] Sylphy**
Listen up.
**[17:56] Sylphy**
Just as mages are ranked
from one through seven,
**[18:00] Sylphy**
demons have ranks, as well!
**[18:03] Sylphy**
Mevilas is one of the demon's highest ranks,
**[18:08] Sylphy**
making him an archdemon!
**[18:12] Sylphy**
If you don't want to die,
then, at least remember that!
**[18:16] Ard**
*Remember? There's no way I could forget.*
**[18:20] Ard**
*Mevilas is...*
**[18:36] Ard**
*one of the reasons I had to kill Lydia.*
**[18:40] Lydia**
What's wrong?
**[18:42] Ard**
Oh, just, after hearing such a renowned name,
**[18:44] Ard**
I'm shaking with excitement.
**[18:46] Lydia**
I get it.
**[18:47] Lydia**
I thought it was high time for
a really bad one to show up.
**[18:50] Lydia**
I didn't think it would
be the Curse King already.
**[18:59] Lydia**
Charge!
**[19:04] Sylphy**
I'm taking the honor of leading the charge!
**[19:18] Ard**
Let's hurry onward!
**[19:20] Sylphy**
H-Hey, don't get carried away
just because you want glory!
**[19:24] Sylphy**
No matter how many small fry you kill,
you won't get any honor for them!
**[19:30] Lydia**
You're awfully motivated, aren't you?
**[19:38] Ard**
*I always hated that look of hers.*
**[19:46] Lydia**
Don't do anything stupid.
**[19:50] Ard**
*I have no intention of doing anything stupid.*
**[19:54] Ard**
* This time, I won't allow*
* history to play out the same way.*
**[20:22] Ard**
What's this?
**[20:42] Lydia**
This head?!
**[20:44] Sylphy**
It's Mevilas the Curse King.
**[20:49] NewDemonLord**
Looks like you were a little late.
**[21:01] Ard**
Who are you?
**[21:04] NewDemonLord**
You already have an idea who, don't you?
**[21:07] NewDemonLord**
I'm exactly who you suspect I am.
**[21:12] NewDemonLord**
I'm the Demon Lord.
**[21:14] NewDemonLord**
A monster of violence and tyranny,
the enemy of the world.
**[21:22] NewDemonLord**
Go ahead and tell your leader for me.
**[21:25] NewDemonLord**
I'll be taking the lands I set eyes on.
**[21:28] NewDemonLord**
If he wants to take them back,
then he can come steal them by force.
**[21:33] Lydia**
Does that mean you're declaring war on us?
**[21:41] NewDemonLord**
Farewell, Champion,
**[21:43] NewDemonLord**
and you, foolish young man.

**[00:01] Olivia**
Let's start our meeting
concerning the Demon Lord.
**[00:05] Councilperson A**
Please wait, Lady Olivia.
**[00:08] Councilperson A**
It appears to me there are people
unworthy attending this meeting here.
**[00:12] Councilperson B**
Lady Verda and Lady Lydia
have taken a liking to them,
**[00:16] Councilperson B**
so we have to accept their participation.
**[00:19] Councilperson C**
Mere guests that don't
even serve Sir Varvatos?
**[00:23] Varvatos**
Council of Seven,
**[00:24] Varvatos**
they as well as Lydia are indeed guests.
**[00:28] Varvatos**
I'm sure some of you find it
odd for them to attend this.
**[00:32] Varvatos**
However, their contributions
must not be ignored.
**[00:37] Varvatos**
I shall start by saying this to you.
**[00:39] Varvatos**
I have changed my views on this Demon Lord.
**[00:43] Varvatos**
With his declaration of war upon
us, we must now defeat him.
**[00:48] Alvarto**
Meaning our next battle will
be to defeat the Demon Lord?
**[00:54] Varvatos**
We will face him with the
full might of our armies,
**[00:56] Varvatos**
and settle everything within that same day.
**[01:01] Lizer**
By full might, do you mean
you intend to deploy
**[01:04] ---**
all Top Four Heavenly Kings
on the same battlefield?
**[01:07] Varvatos**
I intend to take the
battlefield myself, as well.
**[01:13] Alvarto**
How lovely!
**[01:14] Alvarto**
This is truly wonderful!
**[01:16] Lydia**
How long has it been since you
and I fought side by side?
**[01:20] Sylphy**
There's no need for you to fight at all!
**[01:24] Councilperson A**
Please wait!
**[01:25] Councilperson A**
If you do that, then the
defenses of each region will!
**[01:28] Councilperson C**
Our enemy's forces will
attack us all at once.
**[01:31] Varvatos**
Your concern is a valid one.
**[01:34] Varvatos**
Which is why we will
settle it within one day.
**[01:38] Ard**
However, the Demon Lord has
declared that he's immortal.
**[01:41] Ard**
How do you intend to overcome
that, Your Majesty?
**[01:45] Varvatos**
That's a secret.
**[01:48] Varvatos**
The battle will commence three days from now.
**[01:50] Varvatos**
You have but one order.
**[01:52] Varvatos**
Destroy the castle
**[01:56] Varvatos**
controlled by the enemy.
***SIGN*** The Greatest Demon Lord
Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody
**[03:32] Latima**
If there's anything you need,
**[03:34] Latima**
please feel free to summon me.
**[03:36] Ard**
Thank you very much, Miss Latima.
**[03:38] Ard**
What's Lady Lydia...?
**[03:40] Latima**
She went to give instructions to her men,
**[03:43] Latima**
since we operate under a different command
structure from Lord Varvatos's army.
**[03:49] Ard**
Is that so?
**[03:52] Latima**
Should I tell her you asked for her?
**[03:53] Ard**
No, don't mind me.
**[04:02] Ard**
*History should have changed for certain now.*
**[04:05] Ard**
* Those who were supposed*
* to have died still live,*
**[04:08] Ard**
*and Lydia hasn't been cursed, either.*
**[04:13] Ard**
* That self-proclaimed god*
* told us to correct history.*
**[04:18] Ard**
*So if we return with things like this...*
**[04:21] New Demon Lord**
Exactly what you're thinking will happen.
**[04:26] Ard**
Do you need me for something, Demon Lord?
**[04:30] New Demon Lord**
The history they've laid out
isn't so easily overturned.
**[04:34] New Demon Lord**
At this point, a powerful corrective
force would take action,
**[04:38] New Demon Lord**
and Lydia would ultimately
meet the same fate.
**[04:42] Ard**
Did you come here from a different era, then?
**[04:47] New Demon Lord**
Cut the foolish act in front of me.
**[04:50] New Demon Lord**
I know you're currently Ard Meteor,
**[04:53] New Demon Lord**
but there's no need to keep
wearing that mask around me.
**[05:01] New Demon Lord**
I am you,
**[05:04] New Demon Lord**
and you are me.
**[05:06] New Demon Lord**
Would you continue to wear your
mask when standing before a mirror?
**[05:11] Ard**
What do you mean by that?
**[05:13] New Demon Lord**
Good grief... Can you not understand
unless I show you this?
**[05:17] Ard**
What?!
**[05:19] New Demon Lord**
There's no reason to be surprised.
**[05:22] New Demon Lord**
You were sent back to this era.
**[05:25] New Demon Lord**
So it's not that strange that I would be, too.
**[05:29] New Demon Lord**
We are indeed the same person.
**[05:32] New Demon Lord**
The worlds we were born
into may be different,
**[05:34] New Demon Lord**
which is why we've had different
experiences up until now,
**[05:38] New Demon Lord**
but we both lived as Varvatos,
**[05:40] New Demon Lord**
we were both reborn as Ard Meteor,
**[05:42] New Demon Lord**
and then I gained many things
only to quickly lose them.
**[05:47] New Demon Lord**
You haven't yet lost anything, have you?
**[05:52] New Demon Lord**
For me, it was no good.
**[05:55] New Demon Lord**
Nothing ever worked out.
**[05:57] New Demon Lord**
Which is why I even cast
aside the name of Ard Meteor.
**[06:02] New Demon Lord**
Now I'm just known as
The Complete Failure, Disaster Rogue.
**[06:08] New Demon Lord**
You can call me that, too.
**[06:11] Ard**
How did you manage to come to this era?
**[06:15] New Demon Lord**
The same way you did.
**[06:18] Ard**
God?
**[06:20] New Demon Lord**
The moment I agreed to his proposal
**[06:23] New Demon Lord**
I found myself in this era.
**[06:26] New Demon Lord**
Ironic, isn't it?
**[06:28] New Demon Lord**
In order to achieve my goal
**[06:30] New Demon Lord**
I have to go by the name I
despised to death back then.
**[06:35] Ard**
Your goal? What on earth are you plotting?
**[06:39] New Demon Lord**
I'll save Lydia.
**[06:41] New Demon Lord**
I want to atone for my own sin.
**[06:44] New Demon Lord**
That's all.
**[06:46] New Demon Lord**
It's the same for you, isn't it?
**[06:51] New Demon Lord**
Join me.
**[06:53] New Demon Lord**
There's no need for us to fight.
**[06:57] Ard**
I'd like to ask two questions.
**[06:59] Ard**
Did you discuss this with the
current me from this era?
**[07:05] New Demon Lord**
I hate myself more than anything else.
**[07:08] New Demon Lord**
Especially who I used to be in this era
**[07:11] New Demon Lord**
since my foolishness cost me Lydia.
**[07:15] New Demon Lord**
No, forced me to kill her myself.
**[07:20] Ard**
My other question.
**[07:22] Ard**
Why are you fighting against
the me of this era?
**[07:25] Ard**
If you want to save Lydia, then
opposing him is the height of folly.
**[07:30] New Demon Lord**
Certain circumstances prevent me from
joining forces with him, no matter what.
**[07:37] New Demon Lord**
I'm destined to fight him, in fact.
**[07:40] New Demon Lord**
Just as that self-proclaimed
god gave you a mission,
**[07:45] New Demon Lord**
he assigned one to me, as well.
**[07:47] New Demon Lord**
This is what he said to me:
**[07:50] New Demon Lord**
"Destroy the world."
**[07:53] Ard**
How does destroying the world
relate to saving Lydia?
**[08:02] New Demon Lord**
You remember how Lydia died, right?
**[08:06] Ard**
Of course.
**[08:07] Ard**
I could never forget it.
**[08:08] New Demon Lord**
Then there's no way you
can't understand how I feel.
**[08:13] New Demon Lord**
Her mind was violated by that curse,
**[08:16] New Demon Lord**
and she lost her allies...
**[08:18] New Demon Lord**
Many things like that ate away at her
**[08:21] New Demon Lord**
until that day finally came.
**[08:26] Ard**
In order to face the final Outer One in
battle, I would need to shoulder great risk.
**[08:32] Ard**
Yes, even the risk of losing Lydia.
**[08:36] Ard**
That was unbearable to me.
**[08:39] Ard**
So I thought I would overlook
and ignore that last enemy.
**[08:44] Ard**
When placing Lydia's life on the scales
against eliminating all Outer Ones,
**[08:49] Ard**
I chose Lydia.
**[08:50] New Demon Lord**
Then why?!
**[08:52] New Demon Lord**
Why didn't you just share those feelings?!
**[08:55] New Demon Lord**
If you had, then it wouldn't have
wound up like that! Would it?!
**[08:58] New Demon Lord**
It was my fault.
**[09:00] New Demon Lord**
My fault that Lydia stormed into
the enemy territory all alone!
**[09:03] New Demon Lord**
My fault that she lost in battle and got
turned into a threat to the entire world!
**[09:12] New Demon Lord**
You know I couldn't bear that guilt.
**[09:16] New Demon Lord**
That's why I killed myself.
**[09:19] New Demon Lord**
Yet the world wouldn't just let me rest.
**[09:24] New Demon Lord**
It reincarnated me as Ard Meteor,
**[09:27] New Demon Lord**
and everything new that I obtained
**[09:29] New Demon Lord**
kept getting taken away
from me by my own failures.
**[09:32] New Demon Lord**
All my endeavors, my hopes, and my dreams.
**[09:35] New Demon Lord**
At this point, I'm positive I'll
just keep racking up more sins.
**[09:41] New Demon Lord**
So I wanted to finally end it.
**[09:44] New Demon Lord**
I wanted to atone for this
guilt and end it all.
**[09:49] New Demon Lord**
I'll save Lydia,
**[09:51] New Demon Lord**
become a hated threat to this world,
**[09:54] New Demon Lord**
and have her kill me.
**[09:56] New Demon Lord**
Once I have Lydia tread down
the path I was forced to walk,
**[10:01] New Demon Lord**
it'll finally be over for me.
**[10:05] New Demon Lord**
You should prepare to commit
this final sin with me, as well.
**[10:11] New Demon Lord**
Join me.
**[10:14] Ard**
I...
**[10:24] (Flashback) Lydia**
Don't do anything stupid.
**[10:30] New Demon Lord**
I'll give you some time.
**[10:32] New Demon Lord**
I'll await your reply three days
from now at The Ruined Earth.
**[10:45] Latima**
Sir Ard, breakfast is ready to be served.
**[10:51] Ard**
Miss Latima, have you been with
Lady Lydia for a long time?
**[10:57] Latima**
Yes.
**[11:02] Ard**
If... What if you had to weigh
your own life against Lady Lydia's?
**[11:06] Ard**
What would you do?
**[11:10] Latima**
That's a foolish question.
**[11:11] Latima**
I would do anything for Lady Lydia.
**[11:18] Lydia**
Hey! You're late!
**[11:20] Lydia**
What were you doing, shitting?
**[11:22] Sylphy**
Seconds!
**[11:23] Ireena**
You always eat a lot, don't you, Sylphy?
**[11:28] Sylphy**
That's because I'm growing woman!
**[11:30] Ginny**
Growing?
**[11:31] Sylphy**
What?!
**[11:32] Sylphy**
If you have something you
want to say, then say it!
**[11:35] Ginny**
No, it's nothing.
**[11:41] Ginny**
What's the matter, Ardy?
**[11:49] (Flashback) Ginny**
Ardy, are you the Demon Lord?
**[11:52] (Flashback) Ard**
No, I'm not.
**[11:54] (Flashback) Ginny**
Sorry for asking such a strange thing.
**[11:58] (Flashback) Ard**
It's fine.
**[12:01] Ireena**
Ard—
**[12:01] Lydia**
Hey, Ard!
**[12:02] Lydia**
You free today? You're free, right?
**[12:04] Ard**
Huh?
**[12:06] Lydia**
Today, you're hanging out with me. Got it?
**[12:15] Lydia**
So good!
**[12:17] Lydia**
This is amazing!
**[12:20] Lydia**
You there, young lady!
**[12:21] Lydia**
Care to spend a night of
passion with me tonight?
**[12:26] Lydia**
Hey, Ard! You should try, too!
**[12:30] Lydia**
You'll never be a full-fledged warrior if
you can't enjoy fooling around with women!
**[12:34] Ard**
Idiot.
**[12:36] Lydia**
Huh? Idiot?
**[12:38] Lydia**
The one who calls someone an
idiot is the idiot! Idiot!
**[12:40] Ard**
And you just called me
an idiot, big dumb Lydia!
**[12:45] Lydia**
Shut up!
**[12:48] Ard**
Don't punch people!
**[12:50] Lydia**
Ow!
**[12:52] Lydia**
Wh-Why you!
**[12:53] Lydia**
Punching a maiden in the face is the worst!
**[12:56] Ard**
A maiden? I don't see a maiden around here.
**[12:59] Ard**
All I see before me is a barbaric horndog!
**[13:02] Lydia**
Why, you!
**[13:16] Lydia**
Well?
**[13:18] Lydia**
That help clear up your thoughts some?
**[13:23] Ard**
Honestly, for an idiot, your
intuition is awfully sharp.
**[13:29] Ard**
If you had to sacrifice everything to regain
something you lost, someone precious,
**[13:37] Ard**
what would you do?
**[13:42] Lydia**
You can use flight magic, right?
**[13:45] Ard**
What about it?
**[13:46] Lydia**
There's something I want to show you.
**[13:57] Ard**
This place is?
**[13:58] Lydia**
The very sin I committed.
**[14:08] Ard**
Ghosts?
**[14:10] Ard**
Why would the spirits of the dead...?
**[14:14] Ghosts**
Lydia!
**[14:17] Ghosts**
You fiend!
**[14:19] Ghosts**
You killed my child!
**[14:21] Ghosts**
I hate you, hate you, hate you!
**[14:23] Ghosts**
Give them back!
**[14:25] Ghosts**
I'll kill you!
**[14:30] Ard**
Lydia...
**[14:31] Lydia**
It really is hard.
**[14:33] Lydia**
I know I have to face it,
**[14:35] Lydia**
but I always want to run away from it.
**[14:37] Ard**
What is all this?
**[14:40] Lydia**
This is a city where only demons once lived.
**[14:45] Lydia**
Long ago, we attacked this place.
**[14:47] Lydia**
It was a strategic point for us in the war.
**[14:49] Lydia**
A place we had to seize
no matter what it took.
**[14:52] Lydia**
It was easy enough to take down
the castle and its defenders,
**[14:56] Lydia**
but holding it was a challenge.
**[14:59] Lydia**
The common people living in the
city wouldn't listen to us.
**[15:03] Lydia**
Worse yet, they'd attack us at night.
**[15:08] Lydia**
So we decided to kill them all.
**[15:12] Lydia**
If we didn't, we'd be
sacrificing our own allies.
**[15:15] Lydia**
So we took what we thought
was the best action.
**[15:17] Ard**
But you were facing demons,
right? In which case...
**[15:21] Lydia**
It's fine? Because we were facing monsters?
**[15:27] Lydia**
I don't think that's very true.
**[15:29] Lydia**
Humans and demons aren't that different.
**[15:32] Lydia**
And I'm just a murderer.
**[15:35] Lydia**
I'm aware of that fact,
**[15:37] Lydia**
yet I'll continue staining my hands.
**[15:42] Lydia**
Perhaps those who truly should be
called monsters are those like us.
**[15:50] Lydia**
Did you know? I've already
decided how I'll die.
**[15:54] Lydia**
I'll fight, and fight,
and fight through it all,
**[15:57] Lydia**
and once I've created a world where
there's no threat to humanity,
**[16:00] Lydia**
a world where no one has to be
sad, even demons if possible,
**[16:04] Lydia**
then I'll die a pitiful, miserable death.
**[16:09] Lydia**
I'm not someone who's worth bending your
ideals or sacrificing yourself to save.
**[16:18] Ard**
What about how we feel?
**[16:22] Ard**
If you die like that.
**[16:25] Lydia**
You always have to atone for your sins.
**[16:29] Lydia**
At the very least,
**[16:30] Lydia**
I have to, or I won't be able
to die with my head held high.
**[16:34] Lydia**
So...
**[16:36] Lydia**
Please don't try to change the way I die.
**[16:48] Latima**
Welcome home.
**[16:50] Lydia**
Ah, I'm hungry!
**[16:52] Lydia**
Something simple will do,
just serve something.
**[16:54] Latima**
As you wish.
**[16:57] Ireena**
Where did you two go?
**[16:58] Ireena**
Running off in secret is not fair!
**[17:00] Ginny**
We were worried about you.
**[17:02] Lydia**
Yeah, I'm sorry.
**[17:04] Lydia**
Didn't mean to make you feel lonely.
**[17:08] Lydia**
Here's something to make
it up to you, Ireena, Ginny.
**[17:14] Ireena**
Pretty.
**[17:15] Ginny**
It's lovely.
**[17:17] Lydia**
Really? That's great.
**[17:18] Sylphy**
Not fair, not fair!
**[17:20] Sylphy**
It's not fair that those two get something!
**[17:21] Lydia**
Sylphy, you're practically
my sister, aren't you?
**[17:25] Lydia**
Ard, my blood is boiling
with the pending fight.
**[17:29] Lydia**
Join me for a late-night drink.
**[17:33] Ard**
Very well. I'll accompany you.
**[17:49] Verda**
I am a god!
**[17:56] Olivia**
Slay them.
**[18:12] Lizer**
Don't expect to even scratch my forces.
**[18:19] Subordinate A**
Ow! I screwed up!
**[18:21] Subordinate B**
Too weak! You suck!
**[18:26] Alvarto**
I just can't get fired up when facing beasts.
**[18:29] Alvarto**
However, I'm Alvarto Egzex,
**[18:31] Alvarto**
and to make the boring
interesting is my creed.
**[18:35] Alvarto**
Now behold!
**[18:37] Alvarto**
We who are born in chaos, live in resentment,
**[18:40] Alvarto**
and embrace nothingness at the end.
**[18:42] Soldier A**
O-Oh no!
**[18:43] Soldier B**
Run!
**[18:43] Varvatos**
Open, Hell's Gate!
**[18:57] Alvarto**
Your expression of love is
wonderful and intense, my lord.
**[19:03] Varvatos**
Tch.
**[19:03] Varvatos**
That damn dumbass doesn't
differentiate friend from foe!
**[19:07] Varvatos**
This is why I don't like adding
him to our battle lines.
**[19:12] Varvatos**
Setting our internal enemies aside,
the Demon Lord's army is a nuisance.
**[19:17] Varvatos**
We kill them and kill them,
but there's no end.
**[19:20] Varvatos**
It truly is an infinite army.
**[19:22] Varvatos**
At this rate, we won't even be
able to get close to his castle.
**[19:26] Varvatos**
If anyone is able to, it would be...
**[19:35] Sylphy**
Jeez, this is annoying!
**[19:38] Sylphy**
We could handle this a bit
easier if he were here!
**[19:45] Sylphy**
But he ran off somewhere
while we were advancing!
**[19:47] Sylphy**
That's unthinkable!
**[19:49] Lydia**
Well, he probably has his
own things to take care of.
**[19:54] Lydia**
Sylphy, I'll leave this up to you.
**[19:57] Sylphy**
Huh?
**[19:58] Sylphy**
Where are you going, Big Sis?
**[20:06] New Demon Lord**
Can I hear your answer?
**[20:09] New Demon Lord**
Will you save Lydia alongside me?
**[20:13] Ard**
I... won't save Lydia.
**[20:18] New Demon Lord**
How did you come to that conclusion?
**[20:22] Ard**
Because that's not what she desires.
**[20:25] Ard**
I learned what her desire is.
**[20:27] Ard**
She wants to shoulder the title of Champion,
**[20:29] Ard**
and die in a way that repents
for her sins in the end.
**[20:33] Ard**
That's what Lydia said.
**[20:36] New Demon Lord**
Can you truly say that you want
to grant that wish of hers?
**[20:44] New Demon Lord**
Very well.
**[20:45] New Demon Lord**
Then let's get this foolish farce started!
**[21:02] Ard**
That's some nice magic equipment.
**[21:04] New Demon Lord**
Hmph.
**[21:10] Ard**
What a boring technique.
**[21:15] Ard**
How about this?
**[21:33] Ard**
Such analytical ability.
**[21:35] New Demon Lord**
Grasping the full scale of magic
**[21:38] New Demon Lord**
and constructing a spell to cancel it
**[21:40] New Demon Lord**
was a special skill of ours.
**[21:43] Ard**
I guess we won't be able to settle this.
**[21:45] New Demon Lord**
I knew I shouldn't have
turned you against me.
**[21:49] New Demon Lord**
A stalemate or a mutual death.
**[21:52] New Demon Lord**
Did you think I couldn't predict
that's how this would turn out?
**[21:56] New Demon Lord**
If you did, then you're wrong.
**[21:58] New Demon Lord**
Did you not question it?
**[22:00] New Demon Lord**
Why I would have the battle start
the same day I heard your answer?
**[22:05] Ard**
Don't tell me you—!

**[00:04] Ireena**
He's gone...
**[00:06] Ginny**
Miss Ireena.
**[00:08] Ireena**
We kind of keep getting
left behind, don't we?
**[00:13] Ginny**
True.
**[00:14] Ginny**
I feel like we've been completely
lacking a reason to be here so far.
**[00:19] Ireena**
We wouldn't be able to do anything
if we went on the battlefield...
**[00:23] Ireena**
I know that's true,
**[00:25] Ireena**
but I don't want to admit it.
**[00:29] Ginny**
Still,
**[00:31] Ginny**
we're not going to take the
option of giving up, right?
**[00:35] Ireena**
Naturally!
**[00:39] Ginny**
If only you would give up,
**[00:41] Ginny**
then I could make smooth progress on
the 10,000 Person Ardy Harem Plan.
**[00:46] Ireena**
I won't accept any harems!
**[00:48] Ireena**
And wait, you just increased how
many are in it, didn't you?!
**[00:54] Latima**
Miss Ireena. Miss Ginny.
**[00:56] Latima**
I have an important announcement.
**[00:59] Ireena**
An important...
**[01:00] Ginny**
...announcement?
**[01:02] Latima**
Yes.
**[01:03] Latima**
At Sir Ard's orders,
**[01:05] Latima**
you two are to depart at once.
**[01:10] Ginny**
Does that mean there's
something that we can do?
**[01:14] Ireena**
Yeah!
**[01:19] Ginny**
Miss Latima, could you please explain?
**[01:23] Latima**
Our deployment is part of the
operation Sir Ard devised.
**[01:28] Latima**
Sir Ard has uncovered the truth
behind the Demon Lord's immortality,
**[01:31] Latima**
and he ordered me to head to the castle
occupied by the Demon Lord with you two
**[01:36] Latima**
when the appropriate time came.
**[01:38] Ireena**
Why did he tell you,
instead of telling us directly?
**[01:42] Latima**
Because it was important to
act under absolute secrecy.
**[01:48] Ireena**
Then could you tell us what the plan is?
**[01:52] Latima**
Sir Ard theorizes that the
Demon Lord's immortality
**[01:55] ---**
results from the use of a secret
soul-separation technique.
**[01:58] Ireena**
Secret soul-separation technique?
**[02:00] Ireena**
You mean that thing?
**[02:03] Ireena**
The kind that separates
the soul from the body...?
**[02:06] Latima**
And seals it into an appropriate vessel.
**[02:09] Latima**
Death requires both the loss of the
soul and the body at the same time,
**[02:13] Latima**
so separating the two makes
one practically immortal.
**[02:19] Ginny**
So then?
**[02:20] Latima**
According to Sir Ard,
**[02:22] Latima**
there are two drawbacks to that technique.
**[02:25] Latima**
One is that the user must never be more than
a certain distance away from the vessel.
**[02:30] Latima**
The other is that if their vessel is ever
destroyed, they lose their immortality.
**[02:36] Latima**
So he surmises that the Demon Lord
moved the vessel along with his soul
**[02:40] ---**
to the castle that he's occupied.
**[02:42] Ginny**
Now that you mention it,
**[02:43] Ginny**
Lord Varvatos did mention during the meeting
**[02:45] Ginny**
that they would win once they reached the castle.
**[02:49] Ireena**
So we've been entrusted with the secret
mission of destroying that vessel?
**[02:54] Latima**
That is correct.
**[02:56] Latima**
The battle currently being carried
out under Lord Varvatos's direction
**[03:00] Latima**
is nothing more than a diversion.
**[03:04] Latima**
Though no one knows that's the case.
**[03:07] Latima**
Sir Ard discovered a secret
passage into the castle.
**[03:11] Latima**
We'll be using that.
**[03:12] Ireena**
But why us?
**[03:15] Ireena**
Why leave such a major role to us?
**[03:21] Ginny**
That's not very like you, Miss Ireena.
**[03:25] Ginny**
You're usually the type to be
overjoyed at moments like this.
**[03:30] Ginny**
If Ardy found out you were so weak,
**[03:34] Ginny**
I'm sure he'd be disappointed.
**[03:37] Ireena**
Wha?!
**[03:38] Ireena**
D-Don't say stupid things!
**[03:40] Ireena**
There's no way he'd be disappointed in me.
**[03:43] Ginny**
Uh-huh, that attitude suits you much better.
**[03:49] Ginny**
At times like these, you should just go
"Yay! Hooray!" and celebrate without a care.
**[03:57] Ireena**
Yeah, you're right! That's true!
**[04:00] Ireena**
I'll do this!
**[04:05] Latima**
Step back!
**[04:11] Ireena**
Latima!
**[04:14] Latima**
Please go on!
**[04:15] Latima**
I'll hold the enemies back!
**[04:18] Latima**
Hurry! Go on!
**[04:21] Ireena**
Got it!
**[05:00] Olivia**
Let's push forward and conquer!
**[05:09] Sylphy**
Jeez, Big Sis Lydia, where did you go off to?
**[05:13] Sylphy**
I wish you'd tell me when you'll be back!
**[05:25] Ginny**
That's...
**[05:26] Ireena**
There's no mistake.
**[05:28] Ireena**
It's the vessel housing
the Demon Lord's soul.
**[05:34] Ireena**
Let's do this, Ginny!
**[05:36] Ginny**
Yes!
**[05:50] Ireena**
Why, you!
**[05:52] Ginny**
What? What's this?
**[05:54] Latima**
It's no use.
**[05:57] Latima**
That restraint spell also
seals away your magic power.
**[06:02] Ginny**
Why?!
**[06:04] Ireena**
What's going on here,
**[06:08] Ireena**
Latima?!
**[06:14] Ard**
Miss Ireena! Miss Ginny!
**[06:17] DemonLord**
Now, those are some familiar faces.
**[06:19] DemonLord**
I thought I'd never get
to see those two again.
**[06:24] DemonLord**
Let me make this boring excuse for you anyway.
**[06:27] DemonLord**
If you value the hostages'
lives, then join my army.
**[06:32] Ard**
And what will happen to them if I say no?
**[06:35] DemonLord**
Nothing will happen.
**[06:37] DemonLord**
I already told you.
**[06:38] DemonLord**
This is nothing more than a farce.
**[06:42] Ard**
So you have no intention of harming them?
**[06:46] Ard**
Are you really just trying
to give me an excuse?
**[06:50] Ard**
To let me say I had to join you
in order to save the hostages?
**[06:55] DemonLord**
I already know what you're thinking.
**[06:57] DemonLord**
And how Lydia feels, too.
**[07:00] DemonLord**
I'm sure that when she does die,
**[07:02] DemonLord**
she'll be filled with satisfaction
**[07:04] DemonLord**
instead of lament and regret.
**[07:06] DemonLord**
However...
**[07:07] DemonLord**
What about how we feel?
**[07:09] DemonLord**
We had to kill our best
friend with our own hands.
**[07:12] DemonLord**
We encouraged her to do
what would lead to that.
**[07:15] DemonLord**
Bearing that sin for all eternity is just...!
**[07:18] DemonLord**
Even if Lydia did long for a miserable end,
**[07:22] DemonLord**
isn't it only natural that we
would long for her to be happy?
**[07:27] DemonLord**
I'll be taking many lives
to ensure that Lydia lives.
**[07:32] DemonLord**
I'll probably even drive the
world to the brink of ruin.
**[07:36] DemonLord**
However, if that's what
it takes to save Lydia,
**[07:39] DemonLord**
then it's a cheap price to pay!
**[07:40] DemonLord**
The lives of others mean nothing to me now!
**[07:45] DemonLord**
A part of you, deep in your heart,
feels the same way, right?
**[07:50] DemonLord**
So then why hesitate?
**[07:57] DemonLord**
If you must still continue to hesitate,
**[08:00] DemonLord**
then I'll give you another excuse.
**[08:02] DemonLord**
I may not do anything to harm those girls,
**[08:05] DemonLord**
but I can't guarantee what will happen to them
when the Varvatos's army reaches this castle.
**[08:13] Ard**
Wha?! Are you threatening me?!
**[08:16] Ard**
So even putting your vessel here was
all part of your calculated plan?
**[08:20] DemonLord**
Hmph! Let me put even more plainly.
**[08:24] DemonLord**
If you don't want to lose
those two, then join me.
**[08:32] Ireena**
Why are you doing this?
**[08:34] Latima**
The reason for my actions is simple.
**[08:37] Latima**
Lady Lydia.
**[08:38] Ireena**
Wh-What do you mean?
**[08:41] Latima**
There's no need for you two to know that.
**[08:43] Latima**
In the end, you two are simply
tools to manipulate Ard Meteor.
**[08:48] Latima**
Just be quiet while you're put to use.
**[08:52] Ginny**
My goodness, how troublesome.
**[08:55] Ginny**
Your biggest weakness is that
fragile mentality of yours.
**[08:59] Ginny**
Since you always so arrogantly
believe that you can do anything,
**[09:02] Ginny**
your ability to think completely
stops when you're in a pinch.
**[09:08] Ginny**
But I'm different.
**[09:10] Ginny**
Being in a pinch was a natural
part of my daily life,
**[09:13] Ginny**
so I'm able to break out of this situation.
**[09:17] Latima**
What could you two possibly do
when you can't even use magic?
**[09:22] Ginny**
That's true.
**[09:23] Ginny**
We can't use magic.
**[09:25] Ginny**
Though what about atypical magic?
**[09:29] Ireena**
Short...
**[09:30] Ginny**
...Flare...
**[09:31] Both**
...Bomb!
**[09:37] Ireena**
Honestly, you tick me off!
**[09:39] Ginny**
I'll take that as praise.
**[09:42] Latima**
Unexpected though that was,
it's not a problem.
**[09:46] Latima**
All of your efforts shall end in vain.
**[09:59] Ireena**
No matter how many you call upon,
they're no match for us!
**[10:03] Ginny**
Once we're finished with the opening
act, you're next, Miss Latima.
**[10:08] Latima**
Is that so?
**[10:09] Latima**
Then there's only one action I should take!
**[10:14] Lydia**
Now this sounds interesting.
**[10:16] Lydia**
Let me in on this, would you?
**[10:21] Lydia**
Hmph! Come on,
**[10:23] Lydia**
call up something that
puts up a better fight.
**[10:26] Ireena**
Why are you here, Lady Lydia?
**[10:30] Lydia**
Those hairpins I gave you?
**[10:33] Lydia**
They're magic equipment with a spell
that monitors your current status.
**[10:38] Ginny**
They held such a power?
**[10:41] Lydia**
Give it up, Latima!
**[10:43] Latima**
N-No! Even if you...
**[10:46] Latima**
No, all the more so because it's for you!
**[10:49] Latima**
This world can go to ruin
if it means saving you!
**[10:56] Lydia**
Yeah.
**[10:57] Lydia**
I guess all of you would feel that way.
**[11:10] Lydia**
You dumbass.
**[11:13] Latima**
Lady Lydia, I...
**[11:20] Lydia**
Every single one of you...
**[11:25] Lydia**
I'd be lying if I said
it didn't make me happy.
**[11:28] Lydia**
But I'm prepared to accept
whatever fate befalls me.
**[11:33] Lydia**
I'm fighting to protect the
hopes and dreams of others
**[11:36] Lydia**
and to create a world where
everyone can live with a smile!
**[11:42] Lydia**
Once I've accomplished that, I'll disappear
after seeing everyone's smiles.
**[11:47] Lydia**
That's what it means to be Champion.
**[11:50] Lydia**
In the end, I'll bear the full responsibility
and sin of all our bloodshed
**[11:54] Lydia**
and go to Hell.
**[11:57] Lydia**
That's what it means to be Champion.
**[12:00] Lydia**
And I'm the Champion before
I'm your best friend.
**[12:05] Lydia**
So I'll live like the Champion
and die like the Champion.
**[12:12] Lydia**
So don't you go living life always
looking back, you big dumbass!
**[12:21] Demon Lord**
Lydia!
**[12:28] Varvatos**
What?
**[12:30] Ard**
It's over already.
**[12:32] Ard**
Your plan is ruined.
**[12:34] Demon Lord**
It's not over yet!
**[12:36] Demon Lord**
You only robbed me of my immortality!
**[12:38] Demon Lord**
Even if I'm defeated in this battle,
**[12:41] Demon Lord**
so long as you join me, I'll...!
**[12:44] Ard**
You already know what
my answer is, don't you?
**[12:48] Ard**
My alter ego, do you
truly wish to save Lydia?
**[12:54] Demon Lord**
What?
**[12:56] Ard**
Are you sure you aren't just trying to run?
**[13:00] Ard**
What you truly want
**[13:02] Ard**
is to save yourself from
the guilt of slaying Lydia.
**[13:06] Ard**
You want to forgive
yourself and die in peace.
**[13:09] Ard**
You're just using Lydia
toward that end, aren't you?
**[13:13] Demon Lord**
What?!
**[13:15] Ard**
Coward!
**[13:16] Ard**
Both you and I have always acted
on our own selfish feelings
**[13:19] Ard**
without thinking about how others feel!
**[13:22] Ard**
So why not truly do something for someone
else for the first time in our lives?
**[13:26] Ard**
We should work to honor Lydia's wishes!
**[13:29] Demon Lord**
Shut up!
**[13:33] Demon Lord**
Yeah, that's right!
**[13:34] Demon Lord**
That's right!
**[13:36] Demon Lord**
I do want to forgive myself! Save myself!
**[13:39] Demon Lord**
But even so!
**[13:40] Demon Lord**
I won't let you deny how I feel about Lydia!
**[13:46] Demon Lord**
This is the end for you!
**[13:48] Demon Lord**
The path of old is despair.
**[13:51] Ard**
That is the life of a pathetic man.
**[13:54] Demon Lord**
Even though there are those who follow him,
**[13:56] Ard**
None rule together with him.
**[14:03] Both**
Surely that will be...
**[14:08] Both**
A Private Kingdom!
**[14:25] Demon Lord**
Why did you end your own life?!
**[14:27] Demon Lord**
Was it not because you
couldn't endure the solitude?
**[14:30] Demon Lord**
How dare someone like you
accuse me of running?!
**[14:33] Demon Lord**
Have you forgotten our
last words with Lydia?!
**[14:37] Ard**
Th-There's no way I ever could!
**[14:42] (Flashback) Lydia**
You bastard! What are you thinking?!
**[14:45] (Flashback) Varvatos**
What do you mean?
**[14:47] (Flashback) Lydia**
Why are you thinking, accepting
their demand for a ceasefire?!
**[14:50] (Flashback) Lydia**
Are you insane?!
**[14:52] (Flashback) Varvatos**
Obviously I'm sane.
**[14:55] (Flashback) Varvatos**
We'll agree to a ceasefire and enter
into a non-aggression treaty.
**[14:58] (Flashback) Varvatos**
We'll allow them to govern their own land,
**[15:00] (Flashback) Varvatos**
and while we won't recognize the
formation of a demon nation,
**[15:05] (Flashback) Varvatos**
we'll tolerate it.
**[15:06] (Flashback) Lydia**
How can you trust them?!
**[15:09] (Flashback) Lydia**
There'll just be more
fighting again in no time!
**[15:12] (Flashback) Lydia**
We should crush them right now!
**[15:14] (Flashback) Lydia**
Now is our chance!
**[15:15] (Flashback) Varvatos**
I don't plan on changing my mind,
no matter what you say.
**[15:20] (Flashback) Lydia**
Screw you!
**[15:21] (Flashback) Lydia**
I thought we shared the same ambition!
**[15:25] (Flashback) Lydia**
You traitor!
**[15:27] (Flashback) Varvatos**
And have you ever stopped
to consider how I feel?
**[15:33] (Flashback) Lydia**
I don't give a damn how you feel!
**[15:35] (Flashback) Varvatos**
If you want to fight them that badly,
then do it on your own!
**[15:38] (Flashback) Varvatos**
I don't care what you do anymore!
**[15:51] Demon Lord**
I never should have said such things to her!
**[15:54] Demon Lord**
I never intended to say them!
**[15:57] Demon Lord**
I should have been honest
**[16:00] Demon Lord**
and told her how I truly felt,
**[16:03] Demon Lord**
how I didn't want her to die!
**[16:06] Demon Lord**
Coming to an end like that...
**[16:08] Demon Lord**
I'll never accept that Lydia had
to face such a miserable end!
**[16:13] Demon Lord**
That's why I'll save Lydia
**[16:16] Demon Lord**
and seek judgment at Lydia's hands!
**[16:19] Demon Lord**
Lydia deserves happiness!
**[16:50] Ard**
*I see.*
**[16:53] Ard**
*If that's what you wish, then—*
**[17:00] Ard**
It's over, Disaster Rogue, my alter ego.
**[17:05] Demon Lord**
Do you truly believe that
this is for the best?
**[17:11] Demon Lord**
Please, remember...
**[17:13] Demon Lord**
the days we spent with Lydia.
**[17:15] Demon Lord**
And just how
**[17:17] Demon Lord**
precious they were.
**[17:32] Demon Lord**
Please.
**[17:33] Demon Lord**
Please.
**[17:35] Demon Lord**
I can't fail,
**[17:37] Demon Lord**
not this time...
**[17:40] Demon Lord**
I only truly understood after I lost her...
**[17:43] Demon Lord**
How I felt for Lydia.
**[17:46] Demon Lord**
That's why I want to save her.
**[17:49] Demon Lord**
I loved her.
**[18:00] Demon Lord**
You are committing that same sin once again!
**[18:04] Demon Lord**
Don't forget that!
**[18:06] Demon Lord**
Once more...
**[18:08] Demon Lord**
Once more you are killing
Lydia with your hands!
**[18:23] Ard**
What's this?
**[18:28] Lydia**
Looks like you're going home.
**[18:31] Lydia**
Well, guess that's best for you guys.
**[18:34] Ireena**
Lady Lydia, you knew about us?
**[18:39] Lydia**
Kind of.
**[18:58] Lydia**
Hey, can I ask you all one thing?
**[19:02] Lydia**
What's the future like?
**[19:05] Lydia**
Is the world a place where
everyone can live with a smile?
**[19:14] Ginny**
The future...
**[19:16] Ginny**
The future is a wonderful world,
just like you longed for, Lady Lydia!
**[19:21] Ireena**
I have fun every day,
**[19:23] Ireena**
and even though we sometimes fight,
**[19:25] Ireena**
we're all happy.
**[19:28] Ireena**
I do think it's a world
where everyone's smiling!
**[19:33] Lydia**
I see.
**[19:34] Lydia**
Then our sacrifice wasn't all for naught.
**[19:38] Lydia**
Can I ask you to convey
one last thing for me?
**[19:41] Lydia**
It seems there are a few things
I need to say to Ard.
**[19:45] Both**
Ah!
**[20:02] Varvatos**
What is this?
**[20:04] SubordinateA**
I have a message.
**[20:06] SubordinateA**
We have put the Demon Lord's army to rout!
**[20:08] Varvatos**
Is that true?!
**[20:12] Varvatos**
Was it them?
**[20:16] SoldierB**
Pursue!
**[20:17] SoldierB**
Don't let a single one escape!
**[20:20] Varvatos**
Men, settle down!
**[20:23] Varvatos**
Our army has won.
**[20:25] Varvatos**
Pursuing them any further is pointless.
**[20:38] Lydia**
Good job.
**[20:41] Varvatos**
There was nothing I did this time.
**[20:44] Varvatos**
Aside from having talented subordinates.
**[20:48] Varvatos**
What happened to Ard Meteor?
**[20:50] Varvatos**
Was he not with you?
**[20:54] Lydia**
He went home.
**[20:56] Lydia**
To where he belongs.
**[20:59] Varvatos**
I see.
**[21:03] Varvatos**
So it's over.
**[21:06] Lydia**
No, it's just begun.
**[21:15] God Child**
I can't help but feel utterly impressed at
your wonderful completion of your mission.
**[21:21] Ard**
Who are you people, really?
**[21:23] Ard**
Would you mind telling me
what it is you're after?
**[21:27] God Child**
There are no words to express who we are.
**[21:30] God Child**
Though I hope you'll believe me on this—
**[21:33] God Child**
At the very least, I'm your ally.
**[21:37] Ard**
Still, I pray that we never see you again.
**[21:43] God Child**
You and I both.
**[21:50] Olivia**
Ard Meteor.
**[21:52] Olivia**
Ard Meteor, we're here. Wake up.
**[21:54] Sylphy**
Wake up already!
**[21:58] Sylphy**
Good grief! Jeez!
**[22:00] Sylphy**
All three of you sleep too soundly!
**[22:08] Olivia**
Come on, hurry up and get out.
**[22:10] Olivia**
The other students have already
started making their way there.
**[22:14] Sylphy**
Hup!
**[22:15] Sylphy**
This is so nostalgic!
**[22:17] Sylphy**
The old royal capital, Kingsglaive!
**[22:20] Sylphy**
It hasn't changed much around here.
**[22:23] Ireena**
A lot of things happened to us...
**[22:25] Ginny**
But we're back home now.
**[22:27] Ireena**
That's right, Ard!
**[22:29] Ireena**
Lady Lydia left a message
for you when we departed.
**[22:33] Ard**
A message?
**[22:35] Ireena**
Yeah. Um...
**[22:37] (Flashback) Lydia**
No matter what comes,
no matter what happens to us,
**[22:42] (Flashback) Lydia**
we'll always be best friends.
**[22:47] Ginny**
Miss Ireena!
**[22:49] Ginny**
What are you doing?
**[22:51] Ireena**
I'm coming now!
**[22:57] Ard**
Huh?!
**[23:26] Ard**
Lydia, thank you.
