The Greatest Demon Lord Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody

After accomplishing everything he could as king, the most powerful Demon Lord ever, Varvatos, is now bored. To spice things up a bit, he is reborn in the future as Ard Meteor. Not without first recalibrating his powers to be perfectly average. But there’s no way he could have predicted that everyone in the modern world would be weak as hell, making him totally overpowering once again!

[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...

[00:06] Sylphy
    Demise-Argis!
[00:24] Sylphy
    I've gotten strong!
[00:27] Sylphy
    Now I can help Big Sis Lydia!
[00:30] Sylphy
    No one will have to be sacrificed anymore!
[00:36] Sylphy
    I should be getting back to the village.
[00:39] Sylphy
    Spending three years down in a dungeon
    might have been overdoing it.
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.

    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.
