[00:04] Zest
    You want us to exchange
    Naruse Mio for that man?
[00:07] Lars
    You should have seen it for yourself.
[00:10] Lars
    The tremendous power this
    Toujou Basara possesses.
[00:15] Lars
    I don't think it's a bad deal.
[00:17] Zest
    I don't know what you think this is...
[00:20] Lars
    You can't decide while your master is out?
[00:24] Lars
    Marquis Zolgia was supposed
    to leave for the royal castle
[00:27] ---
    on His Majesty Leohart's orders, after all.
[00:30] Zest
    Are you the one who recommended His
    Excellency Zolgia to His Majesty?
[00:34] Lars
    Should I have also reported to him
[00:35] ---
    the fact that Naruse Mio was
    kidnapped to this refuge?
[00:40] Lars
    It goes without saying,
[00:41] Lars
    but this is a clear act of betrayal
    against His Majesty and the Council.
[00:46] Zest
    Are you threatening us, Lars?
[00:48] Lars
    I'm merely fulfilling my duties
    as Naruse Mio's observer.
[00:54] Lars
    You should do your duty to
    protect the marquis you respect.
[00:59] Zest
    I suppose it can't be helped.
[01:01] Lars
    Wise decision.
[01:06] Zest
    I'm grateful for your warning.
[01:12] Lars
    Zest!
[01:13] Lars
    If you kill me...
[01:17] Zest
    Don't worry.
[01:19] Zest
    By the time your death
    reaches His Majesty's ears,
[01:22] Zest
    His Excellency Zolgia will have
    obtained both their powers
[01:25] Zest
    and seized the highest
    standing in the demon world.
[01:29] Zest
    Pardon me, Your Excellency.
[01:31] Zest
    A matter requiring your attention has arisen.
SIGN    Plaintive Betrayal
[03:18] Maria
    I'm sorry, Mio-sama. I...
[03:24] (Flashback) Zolgia
    I'm glad you came, succubus girl.
[03:28] (Flashback) Maria
    Where's my mother?
[03:30] (Flashback) Zolgia
    Don't worry.
[03:36] (Flashback) Maria
    Mother!
[03:39] (Flashback) Zest
    Will you follow my orders and betray
    Naruse Mio and Toujou Basara?
[03:47] (Flashback) Maria
    Yes.
[03:51] (Flashback) Maria
    I am yours... to command.
[03:58] Maria
    Basara-san?!
[03:59] Zest
    There's a slight change in plans.
[04:01] Zest
    These are orders from His Excellency Zolgia:
[04:03] Zest
    Subdue him and dominate his mind.
[04:06] Zest
    It shouldn't be that difficult
    for a succubus like you, right?
[04:19] Basara
    Mio!
[04:22] Basara
    I can sense her.
[04:23] Basara
    There's no mistake.
[04:25] Basara
    Mio's in this building.
[04:31] Basara
    So this really is...
[04:33] Maria
    Yes.
[04:35] Basara
    Maria?
[04:37] Maria
    This is Zolgia-sama's mansion.
[04:42] Basara
    Wh-What are you doing?!
[04:44] Maria
    There's nothing you can
    do anymore, Basara-san.
[04:48] Maria
    Let's at least enjoy our end.
[04:54] Basara
    I heard from Takigawa.
[04:57] Basara
    It might be difficult for you to
    rescue your mother on your own.
[05:02] Basara
    But we're here with you now, right?
[05:05] Basara
    Let's save Mio, and—
[05:06] Maria
    If he were not such a formidable opponent,
[05:08] Maria
    I wouldn't have betrayed you and Mio-sama.
[05:11] Basara
    But now that he's captured Mio,
[05:13] Basara
    he no longer needs you or
    his hostage. Eventually—
[05:16] Maria
    I know that!
[05:17] Maria
    But right now, this is all I can do!
[05:20] Maria
    I have to obey their orders
    and dominate your mind.
[05:25] Basara
    Maria...
[05:28] Maria
    I'll do whatever it takes
    to dominate your mind!
[05:32] Maria
    Even if I have to use my trump card.
[05:39] Basara
    A key?
[06:24] Basara
    Is that you, Maria?
[06:26] Maria
    Yes.
[06:28] Maria
    When Mio-sama was first attacked,
[06:30] Maria
    it was because of this power that
    I was able to escape with her.
[06:35] Maria
    Now, Basara-san, please savor the
    real taste of a succubus' baptism.
[06:50] (Flashback) Basara
    I'll find some way to pin
    down the enemy's base.
[06:53] (Flashback) Yuki
    Then I'll go with you.
[06:55] (Flashback) Basara
    No. I don't know if it'll go well yet,
[06:58] (Flashback) Basara
    but I have a plan.
[07:00] (Flashback) Yuki
    A plan?
[07:05] (Flashback) Yuki
    That's too dangerous, Basara!
[07:07] (Flashback) Basara
    That's the only way we have right now.
[07:14] Yuki
    Basara, stay safe.
[07:26] Maria
    Now, Basara-san...
[07:28] Maria
    You can have your way with me.
[07:44] Maria
    You really are forceful at heart, Basara-san.
[07:54] Maria
    I should've let you have me earlier.
[08:00] Maria
    Then this wouldn't have had to be our
    first and last time doing this together.
[08:09] Maria
    But I'll grow tainted together with you.
[08:13] Maria
    I'm sorry.
[08:26] Basara
    Maria!
[08:30] Basara
    If you really mean that I
    can have my way with you...
[08:34] Basara
    Then I'll save you.
[08:43] Maria
    You took my baptism head on, and yet...
[08:47] Maria
    No way.
[08:53] Maria
    You plan to resort to force?
[08:55] Maria
    Fine.
[09:05] Maria
    What are you trying to do?
[09:07] Maria
    You don't actually think you can
    beat me without your weapon, do you?
[09:11] Basara
    No, I don't believe for a moment
    that I could beat you bare-handed.
[09:16] Basara
    But I came here to save you.
[09:19] Maria
    You're still worrying about me now?
[09:23] Maria
    However...
[09:26] Maria
    If you hold back like that against me now,
[09:28] Maria
    then you'll die!
[09:39] Maria
    It's futile.
[09:40] Maria
    I'll say it once again.
[09:42] Maria
    Basara-san, there's nothing
    you can do anymore.
[09:49] Yuki
    Basara?!
[09:52] Yuki
    That's...
[09:56] Zest
    I see, so that's...
[09:59] Zest
    What an incredible increase
    in her combat abilities.
[10:02] Zest
    Even if it's only temporary,
[10:03] Zest
    I can understand how she
    repelled Zolgia-sama.
[10:10] Zest
    However...
[10:11] Zest
    It should be easy for her to
    seduce and dominate his mind,
[10:15] Zest
    so why go that far?
[10:17] Zest
    If she goes too far and
    renders him useless to us,
[10:18] Zest
    then it defeats the point.
[10:21] Zest
    I'll have to do this myself.
[10:28] Zest
    How did you get here?!
[10:31] Zest
    His Excellency's barrier is gone?!
[10:33] Zest
    You don't mean?!
[10:38] Zest
    Using that elimination skill?!
[10:40] Yuki
    You underestimated Basara.
[10:43] (Flashback) Basara
    The moment Mio was kidnapped,
[10:45] (Flashback) Basara
    I lost the ability to track her position.
[10:49] (Flashback) Basara
    Their barrier is able to interfere with
    the effects of our Master-Servant pact.
[10:53] (Flashback) Basara
    So we'll use that to our advantage.
[10:55] (Flashback) Yuki
    "Use that to our advantage"?
[10:57] (Flashback) Basara
    Once I'm inside the enemy's base,
[10:59] (Flashback) Basara
    my presence should disappear.
[11:02] (Flashback) Basara
    I'll nullify the barrier from inside.
[11:07] Yuki
    That is what has led to your defeat.
[11:33] Zest
    You are quite skilled,
[11:35] Zest
    but you are no threat.
[11:38] Zest
    This mansion is in a dimension
    near the demon realm.
[11:41] Zest
    You heroes cannot receive the protection
    of the human realm's spirits here.
[11:49] Zest
    Naruse Mio?!
[11:54] Yuki
    Mio!
[11:59] Mio
    Thanks.
[12:00] Mio
    I know you didn't come
    here on your own, right?
[12:03] Mio
    Where's Basara?
[12:04] Yuki
    Most likely with Maria.
[12:09] Yuki
    Her family is being held hostage.
[12:13] Mio
    I see...
[12:14] Mio
    I knew they were forcing her to obey them.
[12:19] Zest
    I won't let you escape.
[12:20] Mio
    As if I'd run.
[12:22] Mio
    I still need to repay you.
[12:25] Mio
    On her behalf, as well!
[12:49] Yuki
    This finishes it!
[12:58] Zest
    So that's all you have?
[13:05] Mio
    Don't gawk. Do it now!
[13:09] Yuki
    Please Sakuya, lend me a bit of your power!
[13:14] Mio
    Get back!
[13:17] Mio
    Did we get her?
[13:19] Yuki
    No.
[13:20] Mio
    Huh?
[13:22] Yuki
    It didn't feel as though I cut her.
[13:32] Zest
    It's over.
[13:40] Zest
    Trying not to injure one of them
    is more trouble than I thought.
[13:47] Zest
    Too bad, Naruse Mio.
[13:51] Zest
    Right now Toujou Basara is
    trying to save Maria, not you.
[13:56] Zest
    How does it feel?
[13:58] Zest
    Knowing that your precious partner favors
[14:00] Zest
    your betrayer over you?
[14:06] Mio
    You're right. It's not
    a very pleasant feeling.
[14:11] Mio
    But it can't be helped.
[14:13] Mio
    He forgave both me and Maria,
     and protected us both.
[14:18] Mio
    Putting his life on the line.
[14:20] Mio
    I'm sure he's trying to save Maria
[14:23] Mio
    because she was there
    when he opened his eyes.
[14:26] Zest
    That's quite the convenient interpretation.
[14:32] Yuki
    The fact that I'm here is proof.
[14:34] Mio
    Unfortunately for you,
[14:35] Mio
    our relationship isn't the same as
     the one between you and Zolgia.
[14:41] Zest
    What do you mean?
[14:43] Mio
    You always seem to be forcing yourself
    a bit when you're before that man.
[14:49] Mio
    You're envious, aren't you?
[14:52] Mio
    Of the relationship we share with Basara.
[14:57] Zest
    You're quite full of yourself.
[14:59] Zest
    However,
[15:00] Zest
    you seemed awfully shaken
    up when you saw your friend
[15:04] Zest
    rendezvous with
    Toujou Basara, didn't you?
[15:06] Mio
    That was—
[15:18] Zest
    Was that Maria's attack?!
[15:54] Maria
    What?
[15:56] Maria
    Wh-Why?
[15:57] Maria
    You shouldn't be able to move!
[16:05] Maria
    Do you want to die, Basara-san?!
[16:09] Basara
    Of course I don't!
[16:12] Basara
    But I have to endure it.
[16:15] Basara
    Because there are things worse than death.
[16:18] Basara
    Maria, I can't imagine that all the time
    you and I spent together was a lie.
[16:29] Maria
    This is room is most likely
    being watched by Zest...
[16:32] Maria
    If I do anything strange, my mother will...
[16:40] Basara
    Maria...
[16:41] Basara
    There were times when having you around
[16:43] Basara
    brought smiles to our faces or helped save us.
[16:49] Basara
    So...
[16:51] Basara
    Now it's our turn to save you.
[16:55] Basara
    That's right.
[16:57] Basara
    So I don't lose anything
    precious to me again.
[17:05] Basara
    I'm going to save you.
[17:08] Basara
    I'm going to save everyone.
[17:11] Basara
    So you...
[17:13] Basara
    can't give up either!
[17:38] Basara
    Sorry for letting you
    suffer alone up until now.
[17:42] Basara
    Leave the rest to your big brother.
[17:59] Mio
    Hey, Yuki...
[18:00] Mio
    Did you decide on your
     own to come to get me?
[18:04] Yuki
    No way.
[18:05] Yuki
    I had no choice,
    because Basara ordered me to.
[18:08] Mio
    I knew I was right.
[18:16] Mio
    It looks like we won't be able to
    make her cooperate or talk to us.
[18:21] Yuki
    Then it's dangerous to leave her alive.
[18:26] Mio
    Is there anything else we can do?
[18:34] Mio
    Now let's hurry to Basara as fast as we can!
[18:39] Yuki
    M-M-My body...
[18:43] Mio
    No way!
[18:44] Zolgia
    It appears you got awfully
    violent while I was away.
[18:49] Mio
    Zolgia!
[18:51] Zolgia
    Oh? You can talk this time?
[18:54] Zolgia
    It would seem having your
     comrades is reassuring for you.
[18:59] Zolgia
    Hmm, a hero girl?
[19:02] Zolgia
    The real thing is an even
    more wonderful specimen.
[19:06] Yuki
    That wave of his aura is fearsome!
[19:09] Zolgia
    I'll make you mine, as well.
[19:11] Zolgia
    Along with exquisite pleasure that
    brat Toujou could never give you.
[19:16] Yuki
    I would never let you!
[19:18] Zolgia
    Well, soon you'll come to desire
    it yourself, the same as Naruse Mio.
[19:26] Zolgia
    Now...
[19:27] Zolgia
    Are you all right, Zest?
[19:29] Zest
    Your Excellency...
[19:30] Zest
    My apologies.
[19:32] Zolgia
    I don't mind.
[19:33] Zolgia
    It only means I've earned new toys.
[19:37] Zest
    Yes.
[19:43] Mio
    Yuki!
[19:46] Zest
    Zolgia-sama?
[19:47] Zolgia
    Oh, sorry.
[19:49] Zolgia
    Are you all right?
[19:50] Zolgia
    I'll heal you up later.
[19:53] Zolgia
    I'll treat every inch of your body perfectly.
[19:59] Zolgia
    If you can't even guard my
    prey, then you're trash.
[20:02] Zest
    But, Your Excellency, I—
[20:04] Zolgia
    You envied those girls, didn't you?
[20:08] Zolgia
    Wishing your master were
    that young man instead.
[20:13] Zolgia
    Your thoughts always reach me.
[20:17] Zolgia
    Have you forgotten who it was that made you?
[20:20] Zolgia
    Subordinates who do not stay loyal must die.
[20:25] Zest
    B-But!
[20:42] Basara
    Banishing Shift!
[20:49] Zolgia
    My spell was eliminated?!
[21:02] Both
    Basara!
[21:03] Zolgia
    Hmph. Brat, that was good attack.
[21:07] Zolgia
    However...
[21:14] Zolgia
    You're impressive for nullifying my
    barrier and my curse of instant death.
[21:20] Zolgia
    What happened to Maria?
[21:23] Basara
    Nothing that matters to you.
[21:26] Zolgia
    Hmph.
[21:27] Zolgia
    Her current power held one of
    the few chances of defeating me.
[21:34] Zolgia
    Naïve.
[21:36] Mio
    Be careful, Basara!
[21:37] Mio
    He uses weird magic!
[21:39] Basara
    Huh?
[21:41] Zolgia
    It's futile.
[21:42] Zolgia
    No one can escape from my mental bondage.
[21:47] Basara
    You!
[21:50] Zolgia
    Now to have a peek at what
    kind of power you possess,
[21:56] Zolgia
    just as I did with Naruse Mio's.
