**[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.
