[00:30] Basara
    Is this...?
[00:33] Mio
    Is this the demon realm?
[00:41] Rukia
    Yes.
[00:42] ---
    This is Wildart Castle.
[00:45] Rukia
    It's the castle your father,
[00:46] Rukia
    His Majesty Wilbert, once ruled.
[00:50] Rukia
    Presently Lord Ramsus is its ruler.
[00:59] Basara
    Well then, I know it's soon,
[01:01] Basara
    but could we ask you to
    show us to Ramsus-san?
SIGN    "Amidst Entwining Plots"
[02:38] Kurumi
    Wait, what do you mean the
    man who summoned us is away?!
[02:41] Basara
    There's not much we can do if
     he left to attend to some business.
[02:46] Basara
    We'll just have to wait until tomorrow.
[02:50] Yuki
    So,
[02:51] ---
    these are the rooms prepared for us?
[02:54] Kurumi
    It doesn't seem as though we're very welcome.
[03:00] Zest
    I've brought you some tea.
[03:02] Basara
    Zest?!
[03:04] Basara
    Why are you—
[03:05] Zest
    It has been a while,
[03:07] Zest
    Toujou Basara.
[03:08] Zest
    No, Basara-sama.
[03:10] Mio
    Y-You, that outfit?!
[03:13] Zest
    I'm now serving as a maid at this castle.
[03:21] Kurumi
    Is Zest that woman?
[03:24] Yuki
    Yes.
[03:25] Yuki
    The demon who used to serve Zolgia.
[03:29] Zest
    If you please.
[03:31] Basara
    Th-Thanks.
[03:33] Basara
    But I'm glad to see you're doing well.
[03:36] Mio
    Honestly,
[03:38] ---
    I wasted my time worrying that
[03:40] Mio
    something terrible might
    have happened to you.
[03:42] Zest
    Huh?
[03:50] Mio
    It's good.
[03:53] Basara
    It is good, Zest.
[03:57] Shella
    Good for you, Zest-chan.
[04:01] Basara
    Shella-san?
[04:01] Mio
    Huh?!
[04:03] Maria
    Mother?!
[04:06] Shella
    Surprised?
[04:08] Shella
    I can come and go freely
    using a spatial tunnel.
[04:14] Basara
    I see.
[04:15] Shella
    But it appears I was right to
    have Zest-chan serve you all.
[04:23] Shella
    She's in my employ as my personal maid.
[04:28] Shella
    That
[04:29] ---
    makes things rather convenient here.
[04:33] Basara
    I see.
[04:36] Basara
    Thank you very much.
[04:38] Shella
    I caused you lots of trouble
    during the incident with Zolgia.
[04:42] Shella
    This is just a little repentance.
[04:44] Shella
    This was handmade by Zest-chan.
[04:47] Shella
    She put lots of effort into it for you all.
[04:50] Zest
    Sh-Shella-sama!
[04:54] Zest
    You said you wouldn't tell them!
[04:55] Shella
    You're so cute when you turn red.
[04:57] Zest
    You're all goofing around too much!
[04:59] Shella
    Look at you blush!
[05:05] Rukia
    I see.
[05:07] Rukia
    I understand what happened with Zolgia.
[05:10] Rukia
    Ramsus-sama has left your
    punishment up to me.
[05:15] Rukia
    I assume you're prepared?
[05:18] Maria
    Yes.
[05:35] Basara
    Please wait.
[05:36] Basara
    Could you forgive her, Rukia-san?
[05:39] Maria
    Basara-san?
[05:40] Rukia
    How did you get here?
[05:42] Basara
    Sorry.
[05:44] Basara
    I heard from Shella-san.
[05:50] Basara
    I see.
[05:51] Basara
    Yet, why would you do this?
[05:54] Basara
    If you act on your own within this castle,
[05:56] Basara
    you have no right to complain
    about any punishment you face.
[05:58] Maria
    P-Please wait, Nee-sama!
[06:00] Basara
    I can't help it.
[06:02] Basara
    The girl there is
[06:03] ---
    one of my precious little sisters.
[06:08] Basara
    Back then...
[06:10] ---
    Maria couldn't be blamed for betraying us.
[06:15] Basara
    But that's something we've
    already forgiven her for.
[06:20] Basara
    After all,
[06:22] ---
    Maria is a precious member of our family.
[06:27] Maria
    Basara-san...
[06:30] Rukia
    I understand your sentiments.
[06:32] Rukia
    What about Maria's feelings, though?
[06:37] Rukia
    If you say you forgive her,
[06:39] Rukia
    will Maria's feelings of guilt disappear?
[06:42] Rukia
    Do you not think
[06:43] ---
    that might drive her to
    suffer from guilt even more?
[06:47] Basara
    I...
[06:49] Rukia
    Maria must receive her punishment.
[06:53] Rukia
    If you call her family,
[06:55] Rukia
    then will you handle her
    punishment in my stead?
[07:00] Basara
    Well...
[07:01] Basara
    If you'll allow us to.
[07:05] Basara
    Maria,
[07:07] ---
    I'm going to discipline you now.
[07:10] Maria
    Yes,
[07:12] ---
    Basara-san.
[07:29] Rukia
    In accordance with succubus customs,
[07:31] Rukia
    I've given her the baptism and
    induced a state of arousal.
[07:35] Rukia
    Now, go ahead, Basara-sama.
[07:44] Maria
    Wh-Why am I feeling so...
SIGN    Can I Help You...?
[07:57] Basara
    You hung in there well,
[07:59] ---
    Maria.
[08:01] Maria
    Basara-san...
[08:16] Basara
    Kurumi?!
[08:17] Kurumi
    Oh, um,
[08:18] Kurumi
    I was worried since you were
    both taking your time.
[08:21] Kurumi
    Then...
[08:25] Kurumi
    No!
[08:25] Basara
    Rukia-san, what did you do?!
[08:27] Rukia
    I believe I told you.
[08:28] Rukia
    You mustn't act on your own.
[08:34] Basara
    Kurumi!
[08:35] Rukia
    This is my private room.
[08:37] Rukia
    I'm free to do what I will to those
    who behave suspiciously here.
[08:41] Basara
    Wait!
[08:42] ---
    Kurumi is Maria's precious friend!
[08:45] Rukia
    Then
[08:46] ---
    you should give this girl
    her punishment in my stead,
[08:49] Rukia
    just as you did with Maria.
[08:56] Yuki
    Everyone's late.
[08:57] Mio
    I wonder if they're doing all
    right persuading Rukia-san?
[09:06] Kurumi
    Basara-niichan...
[09:09] Kurumi
    This is a dream.
[09:11] Kurumi
    That's why I'm so...
[09:45] Rukia
    So she has friends now, too?
[09:51] Basara
    Sorry, you two.
[09:52] Basara
    Maria and Kurumi are fine.
[09:55] Mio
    Basara...
[10:01] Basara
    Umm?
[10:03] Zest
    This man is...
[10:04] Rukia
    Claus-sama?
[10:06] Claus
    What?
[10:06] ---
    I heard that someone had seen
    Maria inside the castle,
[10:10] Claus
    so I thought I'd see for myself.
[10:12] Claus
    So you're Jin Toujou's son,
[10:15] ---
    Toujou Basara-dono, eh?
[10:17] Claus
    Well, it's an honor to meet you.
[10:21] Claus
    My apologies for not
    introducing myself sooner.
[10:24] Claus
    I'm an old man named Claus.
[10:27] Claus
    Pleased to make your acquaintance.
[10:29] Yuki
    Apparently he used to serve
    as Wilbert's strategist.
[10:33] Basara
    Wilbert's?
[10:35] Claus
    However, I can't believe they would show
[10:37] Claus
    His Majesty's daughter to a room like this.
[10:41] Claus
    Now, allow me to show you
    to a more seemly room.
[10:46] Rukia
    Please wait.
[10:47] Rukia
    This was prepared under Ramsus-sama's orders.
[10:51] Claus
    I'll report it to Ramsus-sama later.
[10:55] Claus
    There's no problem with that, is there?
[11:02] Claus
    I'm sorry for showing you
    such an embarrassing sight.
[11:05] Claus
    Even though it hasn't been many months
[11:08] Claus
    since His Majesty Wilbert has passed,
[11:12] Claus
    the conflict between our moderate faction
[11:15] Claus
    and the current Demon Lord's faction
[11:17] Claus
    raised under the new Demon Lord
    Leohart grows even fiercer.
[11:23] Claus
    Then Ramsus-sama,
    a man declaring himself to be
[11:26] Claus
    His Majesty Wilbert's older brother, appeared
[11:28] Claus
    and took command of the
    moderate faction, but...
[11:32] Claus
    Most of us...
[11:34] ---
    have yet to waver in our loyalty to
     His Late Majesty in the slightest.
[11:41] Mio
    This is...
[11:45] ---
    My father?
[11:47] Attendants
    Welcome! Please come in, Mio-sama!
[11:50] Mio
    Huh?
[11:51] Woman
    Mio-sama!
[12:05] ---
    Princess!
[12:07] ---
    Welcome back!
[12:09] ---
    Praise Wildart!
[12:12] Claus
    It's as if His Majesty Wilbert,
    the Demon Lord, has returned.
[12:18] Basara
    So this is what he's after...
[12:27] Noel
    And so,
[12:29] ---
    this is Arderbell Plaza,
[12:31] Noel
    the center of this city.
[12:33] Mio
    Uh,
[12:35] ---
    Noel, was it?
[12:36] Mio
    Aren't you being a little loud?
[12:38] Yuki
    Even if we're in disguise,
    there's no point if we stand out.
[12:41] Noel
    Really?!
[12:43] Noel
    But Claus-sama instructed
    me to take care of you, Mio-sama,
[12:47] Noel
    so I'm excited to show you around!
[12:54] Mio
    I thought the demon realm would
    be a creepier place, but...
[12:59] Mio
    It's surprisingly similar to our world.
[13:02] Yuki
    No,
[13:04] ---
    it's completely different.
[13:05] Mio
    Huh?
[13:06] Yuki
    You might not be able to tell, Mio,
[13:09] Yuki
    but it's filled with
    incredible demon particles.
[13:11] Mio
    "Demon particles"?
[13:19] Yuki
    Compared to the human world,
[13:21] Yuki
    our power as heroes is halved here.
[13:24] Mio
    I see.
[13:26] Basara
    Is it rough on you, Yuki?
[13:28] Yuki
    I've trained well, so there's no pro—
[13:31] Yuki
    Ahh, oh, no!
[13:33] Yuki
    Ahh, the demon particles!
[13:37] Mio
    You...
[13:38] Mio
    There's no letting our guard
    down around you at all.
[13:40] Yuki
    Tch.
[13:45] Basara
    Guards from the moderate faction, huh?
[13:48] Basara
    It looks like a clash with the
    present Demon Lord is nigh.
[13:58] Noel
    That's good.
[14:00] Noel
    When it comes to tea, you
    can't forget about this place!
[14:04] Noel
    Now, now, drink up!
[14:09] Basara
    What's wrong, Zest?
[14:11] Zest
    Nothing.
[14:11] ---
    I'll wait outside.
[14:14] Zest
    Everyone, please enjoy your tea.
[14:20] Soldier
    So I said to him,
[14:22] ---
    if you want me to save you,
     hand over your money.
[14:25] Soldier
    You're cruel, man.
[14:26] Zest
    If a former servant of Zolgia
    like me remains at their side,
[14:29] Zest
    it will only cause trouble.
[14:32] Zest
    Besides, I...
[14:36] Zest
    There really is no place for me...
[14:40] Zest
    But...
[14:42] Zest
    I...
[14:43] Kid
    Oh, sorry.
[14:44] Mother
    I'm sorry.
[14:45] Zest
    It's fine.
[14:55] Zest
    Still...
[14:57] Zest
    If it were allowed...
[15:02] Soldier
    Hmm?
[15:03] ---
    Wait, you're from the castle.
[15:06] Soldier
    Yeah, you're that woman
    who served Zolgia, right?
[15:10] Soldier
    What's a person like you doing by yourself?
[15:12] Soldier
    She's a lone animal, not a person.
[15:17] Soldier
    Perfect timing.
[15:19] Soldier
    Come hang out with us.
[15:22] Soldier
    You don't mind, right?
[15:23] Soldier
    You mean "relieve," not "hang out", right?
[15:29] Zest
    Yes.
[15:29] Soldier
    That's a rude thing to say to a lady.
[15:30] Zest
    I'm just...
[15:32] Soldier
    Well, sorry..
[15:33] Soldier
    You're an idiot, aren't you?
[15:43] Soldiers
    Wh-What?!
[15:44] Basara
    Run!
[15:45] Zest
    Basara-sama?!
[15:57] Zest
    I-I'm sorry.
[16:01] Basara
    Are you all right?
[16:02] Zest
    Y-Yes.
[16:04] Basara
    Good.
[16:09] Zest
    I'm sorry,
[16:11] Zest
    for making you go through that.
[16:14] Basara
    It's fine.
[16:15] Basara
    More importantly, I wish you'd
    remember to value yourself more,
[16:18] Basara
    Zest.
[16:19] Zest
    Huh?
[16:21] Basara
    You're a woman, too, you know.
[16:30] Noel
    Ah, there you are!
[16:32] Mio
    Basara!
[16:34] ---
    Where did you go?!
[16:36] ---
    Sorry I'm late.
[16:38] Noel
    Zest-san, is something the matter?
[16:40] Zest
    I just stumbled a little.
[16:42] Yuki
    Let me see.
[16:50] Soldier
    His Excellency returns!
[16:54] Soldier
    We've come to welcome you on
     your return, Your Excellency!
[17:02] Basara
    That's...?
[17:15] Basara
    Zest?
[17:16] Zest
    Yes.
[17:16] ---
    That man is Ramsus-sama.
[17:20] Basara
    It's all right.
[17:22] Claus
    You've returned?
[17:25] Claus
    Now, this way, young ladies.
[17:30] Noel
    Come, Mio-sama. You too, Yuki-sama.
[17:32] Mio
    R-Right...
[17:36] Claus
    It appears he's finished up his business.
[17:40] Claus
    Good grief. It's hard to tell
    what that man is thinking.
[17:44] Claus
    Just the other day he was in a hurry to
[17:45] Claus
    extract the Demon Lord's power that Mio-sama
    inherited from His Majesty Wilbert.
[17:51] Basara
    Extract the Demon Lord's power?!
[17:54] Claus
    Unlike us, it seems
    Ramsus-sama has practically
[17:57] Claus
    no interest in Mio-sama herself.
[18:02] Claus
    He seems to desire the extraction of the
    Demon Lord's power that Mio-sama possesses.
[18:07] ---
    Extract the demon lord's power?
[18:10] Basara
    If he could do that,
[18:11] ---
    then Mio could live as a normal girl.
[18:14] Claus
    However, the way Ramsus-sama thinks is cruel.
[18:17] Basara
    Huh?
[18:19] Claus
    There's no precedent of anyone
    besides the person who possesses it
[18:22] Claus
    extracting the Demon Lord's power.
[18:24] Claus
    If he tried to do that, who knows
[18:26] Claus
    what threat it might pose to Mio-sama's life.
[18:45] Yuki
    This is vastly different from our last room.
[18:48] Maid
    We certainly hope it suits your tastes.
[18:52] Mio
    I'm in a separate room from Basara, huh?
[18:54] Maid
    Yes, you are, but...
[18:56] Mio
    Oh! No, it's nothing!
[19:02] (Flashback) Kurumi
    The darkness element?
[19:05] (Flashback) Kurumi
    You're giving this to me?
[19:07] (Flashback) Rukia
    Yes.
[19:09] (Flashback) Rukia
    The protection...
[19:11] (Flashback) ---
    of the demon realm's highest
    spirit resides in this element.
[19:16] (Flashback) Rukia
    Please take care of Maria.
[19:19] Kurumi
    If I use this well,
[19:21] Kurumi
    it should prove a powerful weapon even here.
[19:24] Kurumi
    Then, I won't have to be a
    detriment to them any longer.
[19:29] Kurumi
    Huh?
[19:30] Kurumi
    Was that really a dream?
[19:32] Maria
    Kurumi-san!
[19:33] Maria
    I heard from Nee-sama!
[19:35] Maria
    You came because you were worried about me?!
[19:37] Maria
    I'm so touched!
[19:39] Maria
    In order to respond to your feelings,
[19:39] Kurumi
    H-Hey!
[19:40] Maria
    I must lick your underarms!
[19:43] Kurumi
    Wh-What are you saying?!
[19:44] Maria
    Now, now, show me your underarms!
[19:46] Kurumi
    Cut it out!
[19:48] Maria
    Huh?
[19:51] Mio
    It seems like I heard something just now.
[19:55] Mio
    Was I imagining it?
[19:57] Noel
    Please don't move, Mio-sama!
[20:02] Mio
    No!
[20:04] Noel
    Oh, you like it here?
[20:05] Noel
    Understood, Mio-sama!
[20:07] Noel
    Leave it to me!
[20:10] Mio
    Wh-What are you?!
[20:12] Mio
    I-I said
[20:13] ---
    I can wash myself.
[20:18] Noel
    Mio-sama, you're so cute!
[20:27] Noel
    Um, Mio-sama,
[20:28] ---
    was Lars doing well over in your world?
[20:32] Mio
    Lars? You mean Takigawa?
[20:34] Mio
    You know him, Noel?
[20:36] Noel
    Yes.
[20:37] ---
    Lars and I grew up in the same orphanage.
[20:41] Noel
    I heard he had been tasked with
    a mission in the human world.
[20:45] Noel
    But he's always been reckless,
[20:47] ---
    and he never listens to me.
[20:51] Noel
    But once he decides on something,
    he's diligent about it.
[20:54] Noel
    Honestly, I can never
    stop worrying about him.
[20:57] Mio
    I see.
[21:00] Mio
    You're the same as me, then.
[21:08] Mio
    Basara.
[21:29] Basara
    I have to talk to you, Ramsus-san.
[23:04] Luka
    Please hurry!
[23:06] Luka
    The time to deploy is drawing near!
[23:09] Gald
    How's it going, Luka?
[23:10] ---
    Will it make it in time?
[23:11] Luka
    Huh?!
[23:12] Gald
    I asked if it will be ready in time!
[23:15] Gald
    Oh?
[23:16] ---
    So this is...
[23:17] Luka
    Yes.
[23:18] Luka
    The ultimate biological weapon from the
    era of the war between demons and gods.
[23:21] A
    Raise the output!
[23:22] B
    It's at its max!
[23:24] C
    Demon energy output, stable!
[23:26] C
    Couplers functioning normally!
[23:28] Luka
    Yes.
[23:28] Luka
    A heroic spirit.
