**[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?
