[00:15] ---
    Listen, everyone!
[00:17] ---
    I've made up my mind
    to go to Delsgade!
[00:22] ---
    Will you be all right?
[00:23] ---
    You're really going, Leno?
[00:24] ---
    Are you coming back?
    Or not?
[00:26] ---
    Don't worry!
    I'll be coming back, all ri—
[00:31] ---
    Tithi!
[00:34] ---
    - Here he comes.
    - Here he comes.
[00:36] ---
    The scary god!
[00:37] ---
    He's here!
[00:39] ---
    Oh, I've been looking for you,
    Great Spirit Mother Leno.
[00:42] ---
    Who are you?
[00:44] ---
    I am the Heavenly Father God, NousGalia.
[00:47] ---
    The father of all gods.
[00:49] ---
    I come with good news for you today.
[00:53] ---
    I'd like to create a new Child of God.
[00:56] ---
    And your womb has been chosen
    for that child.
[00:59] ---
    Sorry, but I decline.
[01:02] ---
    This was decided by a god.
[01:04] ---
    You may be a member of the God clan,
    but I won't let you have your way here!
[01:11] ---
    Do as I say, order.
    A god's order is absolute.
[01:18] ---
    And now I'm going to impregnate you
    with a divine child.
[01:28] ---
    Jio Graze.
[01:33] ---
    Subside, sinister flames!
[01:38] ---
    Demon King Anos!
[01:39] ---
    Ah, so you're the Demon King of Tyranny?
[01:43] ---
    I'm glad you're here.
[01:44] ---
    God has decided on the destruction
    of the Demon King of Tyranny.
[01:48] ---
    We will soon see an order
    in which I shall kill you.
[01:51] ---
    I see. However,
    you will die before that.
[01:55] ---
    Degzegd.
[01:59] ---
    You cannot kill a god!
[02:01] ---
    That is order!
[02:03] ---
    Subside, sinister curse.
    A god's words—
[02:10] ---
    A voice seized by the Looting Sword
    can never be recovered.
[02:13] ---
    Time for you to record this into
    your so-called order.
[02:16] ---
    That even the Laws of the Gods
    will be wiped out before me.
[02:24] ---
    Now, then, Great Spirit Mother.
[02:27] ---
    I've come to hear your answer.
[02:29] ---
    Have you reached a decision?
[02:33] ---
    I'm going to place my trust in you.
[02:36] ---
    Then let me provide you with protection.
[02:38] ---
    Shin.
[02:40] ---
    As we agreed,
    I'm entrusting her to you.
[02:42] ---
    She's our guest.
    Try to obey her as much as you can.
[02:45] ---
    As you wish.
[02:46] ---
    What? Wait, I don't need such
    a scary-looking bodyguard!
[02:50] ---
    Because of the barrier along the road to Delzogade,
    you can't use Gatom to travel.
[02:54] ---
    Not to mention,
    gods don't die as easily as you think.
[02:57] ---
    He might come after you again.
[03:01] ---
    - Um...
    - Yes?
[03:03] ---
    What do we do now?
[03:05] ---
    I have been ordered
    to do your bidding.
[03:08] ---
    Then I'm telling you,
    I really don't need a bodyguard!
[03:11] ---
    Understood.
[03:14] ---
    If you wish me to take my own life—
[03:16] ---
    N-No, that's not what I meant!
[03:17] ---
    If I should go against my lord's orders...
[03:20] ---
    Then I cannot allow myself to live on in shame.
[03:22] ---
    All right! I hear you,
    so just settle down, okay?
[03:26] ---
    Understood.
[04:30] ---
    Isolate all the species from one another,
    and snuff out the spark of war.
[04:34] ---
    Put up walls between the Infernal Realm,
    the Human Realm, the Spirit Realm,
[04:37] ---
    and the Heavenly Realm,
[04:39] ---
    and install a door that won't open
    for at least 1,000 years.
[04:42] ---
    If I were to convert all my life
    into Magic Power,
[04:44] ---
    and join forces with all of you,
[04:47] ---
    we could then activate
    an immense magic spell.
[04:50] ---
    Fine. I'm going to put my trust in you.
[04:53] ---
    All right, let's get started.
[05:28] ---
    What is it?
[05:29] ---
    How far are you going to escort me, Shin?
[05:32] ---
    Until we're out of the barrier?
[05:33] ---
    My lord has commanded me
    to protect you until you reach Aharthern.
[05:38] ---
    I see! Then we still have a little ways to go!
[05:46] ---
    I'm home!
[05:47] ---
    Tithi! I brought you something!
[05:52] ---
    Bad news! Bad news!
[05:54] ---
    What's wrong?
[05:54] ---
    The spirits are being devoured!
[05:56] ---
    The forest's about to dry up!
[06:00] ---
    Divine Beast Gwen!
[06:02] ---
    I'm so scared!
[06:03] ---
    We're surrounded!
[06:04] ---
    We're going to get eaten!
[06:07] ---
    Please step back.
[06:14] ---
    Who's that over there?
[06:16] ---
    This is the Great Spirit Forest.
[06:19] ---
    You can't hide from me!
[06:22] ---
    I'm not hostile.
[06:24] ---
    Allow me to show myself now.
[06:27] ---
    Who are you?
[06:31] ---
    My name is Anoshu.
[06:33] ---
    Anoshu Polticoal.
[06:45] ---
    01 - A LESSON BY GOD
[06:52] ---
    Good morning...
[06:54] ---
    Lord Anos!
[06:55] ---
    And a fine morning it is.
[06:57] ---
    Yes!
[06:59] ---
    Morning, Anos!
[07:01] ---
    Morning.
[07:04] ---
    Wh-What is it?
[07:06] ---
    Those are new hair ribbons.
[07:08] ---
    I'm surprised that you noticed.
[07:09] ---
    Even though they're the same ones?
[07:11] ---
    My eyesight isn't so clouded
    that I wouldn't notice a subject's equipment.
[07:15] ---
    Would you mind not calling them equipment?
[07:18] ---
    Sasha's embarrassed because you spotted them.
[07:20] ---
    Huh?
[07:21] ---
    - Is that right?
    - Uh...
[07:23] ---
    Don't go putting ideas in his head, Misha!
[07:25] ---
    They're made of silk.
    But not just any silk.
[07:29] ---
    It's Twilight Silk that can only be produced
    at dusk by Twilight Silk Moths.
[07:33] ---
    Sturdy, and conductive to Fortification Magic.
[07:36] ---
    Though the magical dye is from this era,
    it's not bad.
[07:39] ---
    Overall, I'd put them at the bottom of the middle tier.
[07:44] ---
    Misha?
[07:45] ---
    Being too observant isn't really a good thing.
[07:48] ---
    Really?
[07:49] ---
    But I thought it would make her happy.
[07:51] ---
    Hey!
[07:53] ---
    Morning, everyone.
[07:54] ---
    Good morning!
[07:55] ---
    So, you're finally showing up together
    in broad daylight!
[07:59] ---
    What? N-No, it's not what it looks like!
[08:02] ---
    We just happened to run into each other,
    that's all!
[08:04] ---
    Oh?
[08:05] ---
    A likely story!
[08:07] ---
    I'm sure it was no accident!
[08:08] ---
    Come to think of it, when we were all
    hanging out the other day,
[08:11] ---
    didn't we hear that you two snuck out early?
[08:13] ---
    Oh!
[08:16] ---
    So what happened?
[08:17] ---
    N-Nothing at all!
[08:25] ---
    Hey.
[08:27] ---
    Huh. That hybrid should've gotten caught up
    in the war and died.
[08:32] ---
    Well, we're not gonna let that misfit lord
    it over us anymore.
[08:36] ---
    Right. Now that the founding ancestor's back!
[08:39] ---
    Morning, class!
[08:41] ---
    Before we get started,
    I have an announcement to make.
[08:44] ---
    Let me introduce an exchange student
    from the Hero Academy.
[08:51] ---
    I'm Eleonore Bianca.
    And this one is...
[08:54] ---
    Go on.
    Can you tell them your name?
[08:57] ---
    Zethia... I'm... Zethia Bianca.
[09:00] ---
    All right, please take your seats now.
[09:02] ---
    Yes.
[09:05] ---
    From the Hero Academy?
[09:06] ---
    After Azeshion tried to provoke a war with us?
[09:09] ---
    I understand your displeasure, class.
[09:11] ---
    But that was a plot devised by Diego.
[09:15] ---
    It's not as if all Humans were turning
    on the Demon Race.
[09:19] ---
    Hey, so you're here as exchange students?
[09:22] ---
    Yes. It's all thanks to Anos.
[09:24] ---
    Nice to meet you!
[09:26] ---
    And now here's one more person
    to introduce to you.
[09:31] ---
    This is Erdomaid DittiJohn, who'll be
    your homeroom teacher starting today.
[09:36] ---
    Huh, an incompetent instructor
    who's not even from Royalty?
[09:39] ---
    Where does a lowly Demon get off thinking he
    can teach Royalty of noble blood?
[09:44] ---
    All right, settle down now.
[09:46] ---
    Mr. DittiJohn is a demon who was born before
    the Seven Elder Demon Emperors,
[09:50] ---
    and a member of the Four Evil Royals.
[09:51] ---
    What? You mean "the" Four Evil Royals?
[09:54] ---
    Right. The four who commanded a force second only
    to the Demon King of Tyranny
[09:58] ---
    in the Demon Realm 2,000 years ago.
[10:00] ---
    The King of Curses, the Scarlet Monument King,
    the King of the Netherworld,
[10:03] ---
    and the Blaze Death King... the name
    by which Mr. Erdomaid DittiJohn was known.
[10:07] ---
    Let me enlighten you, ignorant ones
    who know nothing about 2,000 years ago.
[10:12] ---
    I'll start with the fake Demon King,
    Avos Dilhevia.
[10:17] ---
    What did you say?
[10:18] ---
    You dare malign the name
    of the Demon King of Tyranny?
[10:20] ---
    You all blindly believe in the name
    of a sham Demon King.
[10:23] ---
    Despite the fact that he's seated right there,
    reincarnated.
[10:27] ---
    Demon King Anos Voldigoad.
[10:32] ---
    Stop teaching us random lies!
[10:35] ---
    Avos Dilhevia is a spurious name concocted
    to mislead Azeshion,
[10:40] ---
    which tried to annihilate
    the Demon King after he'd reincarnated.
[10:43] ---
    But now that the ringleader is no more,
    there's no need to conceal the true Demon King.
[10:49] ---
    The signers of this Zecht have validated this as fact.
[10:54] ---
    Hey, hold up.
    The Seven Elder Demon Emperors...
[10:57] ---
    It's all seven of them!
[10:59] ---
    Anos Voldigoad, step up here.
[11:03] ---
    You are all...
[11:04] ---
    ...in the presence of the Demon King.
[11:11] ---
    Wh-What's going on?
[11:13] ---
    My body's moving on its own!
[11:15] ---
    A word, please.
[11:17] ---
    Hmm, let's see.
[11:24] ---
    Grab a seat.
[11:26] ---
    Dilhade is at peace now.
[11:29] ---
    There's no longer any need
    for a Demon King of Tyranny.
[11:32] ---
    Acknowledge me if you want.
    And if not, that's fine by me.
[11:37] ---
    I'm no different than any ordinary Demon.
[11:39] ---
    There's nothing noble about power,
    nor about blood.
[11:43] ---
    If anything,
    you'd find it within your own soul.
[11:47] ---
    So that's what you need to polish.
[11:49] ---
    Agonize, waver, struggle.
[11:51] ---
    Nobility isn't some cheap thing you can attain
    by resting on your laurels.
[11:56] ---
    Yes, Lord Anos!
[12:01] ---
    All right, let's get this class started.
[12:04] ---
    Thank you so much, Mr. Erdomaid.
[12:08] ---
    What a lame disguise,
    Heavenly Father God NousGalia.
[12:12] ---
    So what would a god who's taken over
    a Demon's body be doing here?
[12:17] ---
    Kindly take your seat,
    Demon King of Tyranny.
[12:19] ---
    I'll be happy to instruct you personally.
[12:23] ---
    Fine, then. I don't mind hearing what
    you have to say.
[12:28] ---
    There is a proper order in this world.
[12:30] ---
    That is the logic of this world.
[12:32] ---
    Why flames are hot,
    why objects fall,
[12:35] ---
    even why humans are able
    to stand on this earth...
[12:37] ---
    these are all due to order.
[12:39] ---
    And the entities who maintain this order
    are embodied as gods.
[12:45] ---
    During the Mythical Age,
    all life forms were on the brink of death,
[12:48] ---
    and the world was a wild place.
[12:50] ---
    And this was all caused by
    the Goddess of Destruction, Abernyu.
[12:54] ---
    In order to halt the world's devastation,
[12:56] ---
    the Demon King of Tyranny battled this goddess...
[12:58] ---
    and seized her power of annihilation.
[13:01] ---
    The Goddess of Destruction fell to earth,
    and the Demon King changed her name.
[13:05] ---
    That would be the Demon Palace Delsgade.
[13:08] ---
    The Goddess of Destruction's power
    was transformed into a spell...
[13:11] ---
    ...called the Magic Sword of Destruction Venuzdnor.
[13:13] ---
    As a result, those who should
    have perished ended up surviving,
[13:16] ---
    and without destruction,
    there was no creation,
[13:18] ---
    and neither was there the creation
    of any new order.
[13:22] ---
    At this rate,
    the order of the world would only be disrupted.
[13:25] ---
    Therefore, the gods decided
    to create a new order
[13:28] ---
    to destroy the Demon King of Tyranny.
[13:31] ---
    The gods?
    Come on, it's not a fairy tale.
[13:35] ---
    Let me explain it to you,
    ignorant ones.
[13:39] ---
    I am the Heavenly Father God, NousGalia.
[13:42] ---
    The order which creates gods.
[13:44] ---
    Mr. Erdomaid is a god?
[13:47] ---
    I thought he was a Demon
    from 2,000 years ago?
[13:49] ---
    Huh! Can you believe this pack of lies?
[13:51] ---
    Exactly!
[13:52] ---
    Can't breathe...
[13:54] ---
    Help...
[13:55] ---
    Let go of your hostility.
[13:57] ---
    Nothing will happen to you as long
    as you have no intent to harm him.
[14:01] ---
    O Demon King of Tyranny.
[14:03] ---
    The order that will destroy you...
[14:05] ---
    is the new Child of God!
[14:07] ---
    And they are here in this academy!
[14:09] ---
    That's quite thoughtful of you to point out,
    but what are you scheming?
[14:13] ---
    To restore absolute order to this world.
[14:17] ---
    Let these people go. It's not as if
    you'll benefit from killing them.
[14:22] ---
    It's logical that they die.
    Nothing can change that.
[14:26] ---
    Hmm... is that so?
[14:33] ---
    Do you wish to try?
[14:35] ---
    True, the Magic Sword of Destruction is capable
    of destroying me along with all logic.
[14:40] ---
    But should you kill me, the Heavenly Father God,
    this world, too, will fall apart.
[14:45] ---
    Since you so love this world,
    that's precisely why you cannot destroy—
[14:52] ---
    Wh-Why...?
[14:53] ---
    You thought you'd get off the hook
    if you used the world as your shield?
[15:04] ---
    Agronemt.
[15:08] ---
    What's this?
[15:10] ---
    My power... my divine source?
[15:13] ---
    I did leave you with ten percent.
[15:15] ---
    Since it would truly wipe out the world
    if I left you completely unable to revive.
[15:20] ---
    How is that possible?
[15:22] ---
    I couldn't have done it 2,000 years ago.
[15:25] ---
    But now that I've reincarnated myself
    into the peaceful era,
[15:28] ---
    I, too, have learned something called restraint.
[15:31] ---
    Now behave yourself for a while.
[15:34] ---
    Carry on with class while I watch over you.
[15:43] ---
    That was surprising, the way the instructor
    showed up out of the blue.
[15:46] ---
    I mean...
[15:47] ---
    How can he just go on teaching
    like nothing happened after Anos slashed him?
[15:51] ---
    The gods have different values than we do.
[15:54] ---
    Their actions are based on order, see.
[15:56] ---
    Even still...
[15:57] ---
    But how does teaching at the Demon King Academy
    help maintain order?
[16:03] ---
    The gods always keep their promises.
    With humans and demons.
[16:07] ---
    I don't know what he's after, but he might
    have promised someone to teach class here.
[16:13] ---
    He said that a new Child of God
    was right here at this school, didn't he?
[16:17] ---
    Meaning that the vessel of the Child of God is here,
    and is about to awaken, I suppose.
[16:22] ---
    If he's talking about a god who'll destroy you, Anos...
[16:25] ---
    Then it's safe to say that he'll
    be born with that much magical power.
[16:31] ---
    Please. All I have to do is find this Child of God,
    and put him in his place.
[16:38] ---
    How should we look for him?
[16:39] ---
    Can't you find him
    with your Demonic Eyes, Anos?
[16:42] ---
    If the Child of God doesn't exist yet,
    that won't work.
[16:45] ---
    Maybe dig into the backgrounds
    of all the students and teachers?
[16:48] ---
    Or we could ask around, I guess?
[16:51] ---
    All right, we should probably split up for this.
[16:53] ---
    Hmm... I need to talk to Melheis.
[16:57] ---
    I'm also going to have him look into
    this Child of God.
[16:59] ---
    We'll do some asking around.
[17:01] ---
    I'm counting on you.
[17:03] ---
    First off,
    let's split up into three groups.
[17:06] ---
    Eleonore.
[17:08] ---
    Sorry. Could you get started without me?
[17:10] ---
    Fine. Come on, Misha.
[17:13] ---
    Okay.
[17:14] ---
    Where should we start our search?
[17:15] ---
    I'd say the transfer students,
    and anyone who just arrived here.
[17:20] ---
    Hi! What's going on, Ledriano?
[17:23] ---
    Where are you right now?
[17:24] ---
    What? The Demon King Academy.
[17:27] ---
    Are you in Dilhade, by any chance?
[17:29] ---
    Yes. Actually, I've discovered a troublesome spell.
[17:33] ---
    Probably something that Jerga left behind.
[17:43] ---
    So far, nothing.
[17:45] ---
    Not a single lead linking
    to the Child of God.
[17:48] ---
    Same here.
[17:50] ---
    The Child of God has nothing to do
    with what happened 2,000 years ago, right?
[17:54] ---
    Well... I'm not sure about that.
[17:56] ---
    NousGalia is a god who helped Jerga.
[17:59] ---
    To transform his source into magic.
[18:01] ---
    Do you think there'll be danger of some kind again?
[18:05] ---
    Don't worry.
    You and your friends...
[18:08] ---
    Protecting the people of this peaceful era
    is a Hero's... it's my mission.
[18:13] ---
    Lay...
[18:15] ---
    I can't allow you to get entangled
    in the ravages of the war of that era...
[18:19] ---
    When you have nothing to do
    with that battle 2,000 years ago.
[18:26] ---
    Misa?
[18:27] ---
    Then...
[18:29] ---
    I'll protect your peace,
    Lay, all right?
[18:32] ---
    I mean... not that I have any power to speak of!
[18:36] ---
    But I can fight by your side, at least!
[18:39] ---
    Even if things go sideways
    and you could die?
[18:42] ---
    The person I love might die!
    Why would I be afraid of my own death?
[18:48] ---
    More than the peace we have now,
    more than bliss in my next life,
[18:51] ---
    what I want is a path
    that I can walk down with you, Lay.
[18:55] ---
    And that's rather cold, you know,
    saying I have nothing to do with it.
[18:59] ---
    The Hero from 2,000 years ago,
    and who you are now...
[19:02] ---
    You're both the same Lay.
[19:05] ---
    If I were shouldering a heavy fate
    like you and Lord Anos,
[19:10] ---
    would you still say that I
    had nothing to do with you?
[19:15] ---
    I'll help you, no matter what.
    No matter where you are, I'll come to your rescue.
[19:20] ---
    I feel the same way.
[19:23] ---
    Misa...
[19:35] ---
    Not very classy, peeping like that.
[19:39] ---
    Pardon me.
[19:41] ---
    My name is Gerad Azrema.
[19:44] ---
    Lady Misa Ilioroagu, I have come here
    on orders from your father.
[19:50] ---
    What? You're holding a ceremony
    for the Second Coming of the Demon King?
[19:54] ---
    Right, to spread word across Dilhade that
    the Demon King has been reincarnated.
[19:59] ---
    And I'd like you all
    to sing when it happens.
[20:03] ---
    What?
[20:04] ---
    But shouldn't it be a real choir?
[20:06] ---
    This ceremony will be all about
    the start of a new Dilhade,
[20:10] ---
    in which the Royals
    and the hybrids stand hand-in-hand.
[20:12] ---
    What I need is a brand new gust of wind that
    will smash through all this rigid bloodline supremacism.
[20:19] ---
    No one can sing a song like that but you.
[20:22] ---
    It's what I want to hear.
[20:24] ---
    You know, your melodies, so peaceful
    it leaves you at a loss for words.
[20:27] ---
    Yes, sir! Lord Anos!
[20:29] ---
    All righty!
    Let's start rehearsing!
[20:32] ---
    - Yeah!
    - Anos!
[20:33] ---
    What is it?
[20:34] ---
    Apparently, Revest and the others have been attacked.
[20:37] ---
    Misha's healing them right now!
[20:39] ---
    Are you all right?
[20:41] ---
    Don't worry about me.
    Ms. Menou's been... kidnapped...
[20:44] ---
    Ms. Menou?
[20:46] ---
    By whom?
[20:47] ---
    The Age of Chaos... Rinka Theornes.
[20:51] ---
    I cast an Enoy spell on her.
    You should be able to track her.
[20:57] ---
    Anos.
[20:58] ---
    They might as well be saying,
    "Please capture us,"
[21:01] ---
    but could it be a diversionary tactic?
[21:02] ---
    We'll go.
[21:04] ---
    You're likely facing a demon
    from 2,000 years ago.
[21:07] ---
    It's fine.
[21:08] ---
    Who do you think we've been trained by?
    See you!
[21:20] ---
    Looks like you were a step too late,
    Demon King Anos.
[21:22] ---
    Ingal.
[21:24] ---
    I won't let you revive him!
[21:27] ---
    Rivide.
[21:30] ---
    You're a demon from 2,000 years ago, eh?
[21:32] ---
    I serve Erdomaid,
    the Blaze Death King.
[21:35] ---
    I am Zeik Ozma,
    the Blaze Death King's military adviser.
[21:37] ---
    Erdomaid's? Are you aware that his body's been possessed?
[21:42] ---
    Of course. My lord has deliberately entrusted
    his body to the gods to create your enemy.
[21:48] ---
    That sounds like something he would do. So?
[21:51] ---
    My powers are no match against yours.
[21:55] ---
    Therefore, I would like to challenge your wits.
[22:03] ---
    Half of a Magic Sword...
[22:07] ---
    Is that the same one
    that my father gave me?
[22:12] ---
    I've been ordered by my lord, the King
    of Curses, Kyhilam Jiste, to take your source.
[22:22] ---
    You guys! What's happening?
[22:25] ---
    Blue faces...
[22:30] ---
    I had them ingest a bit of poison!
[22:33] ---
    Who are you?
[22:35] ---
    I'm Zabro Gaze. The Scarlet Monument King
    Gilysiris Dello's lieutenant.
[22:45] ---
    Are we done playing tag?
[22:47] ---
    What are you going to do with Ms. Menou?
[22:49] ---
    She was a tool for luring you in.
[22:51] ---
    I have no more use for her.
[22:55] ---
    I serve the King of the Netherworld, Eges Code.
[22:58] ---
    Rinka Theornes.
[22:59] ---
    Following my lord's orders,
    I will annihilate you two.
[23:04] ---
    Hmm. So the Four Evil Royals
    have formed an alliance?
[23:08] ---
    You are searching for the Child of God.
[23:11] ---
    A wise Demon King Anos
    would soon realize the true identity...
[23:15] ---
    ...of the one who has the potential
    to become the Child of God.
[23:17] ---
    In other words, there's a divine vessel
    among my subordinates?
[23:22] ---
    My bargaining chip
    is the information I possess.
[23:25] ---
    Would you be so kind as to take me on?
[23:27] ---
    Fine.
[23:28] ---
    After all, you've gone out of your way
    to challenge me in this peaceful world.
[23:31] ---
    I hope you're as prepared as you should be.
