# 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...*

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

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

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

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

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

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

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