[00:06] Mio
    You've all treated me very well.
[00:09] Mio
    When I first arrived in the demon
    world, I was full of anxiety,
[00:12] ---
    but you gave me a very warm welcome.
[00:15] Mio
    I'm truly grateful.
[00:17] Claus
    M-Mio-sama?
[00:20] Mio
    But I've decided to live my
    life from here on as a human.
[00:24] Mio
    So I don't intend on succeeding my father.
[00:30] Mio
    Thank you for your kindness.
[02:19] Man
    Here you go.
[02:20] Child
    Thank you.
SIGN    "Between Reality and One's Own Truth"
[02:22] Rukia
    In regard to extracting the 
    Demon Lord's power from Mio-sama...
[02:26] Ramsus
    Call it off.
[02:28] Rukia
    Are you sure?
[02:31] Ramsus
    Circumstances have changed.
[02:32] Ramsus
    We must.
[02:34] Rukia
    Yes.
[02:36] Kurumi
    Are you really sure?
[02:37] Mio
    Yeah.
[02:37] Jin
    Hey, Basara.
[02:40] Group
    Father?!
[02:45] Jin
    You been doing well?
[02:51] Leohart
    Dimensional fluctuation?
[02:53] Leohart
    What do you mean, Gald?
[02:57] Gald
    That technique...
[02:59] Gald
    When Brynhildr appears,
    it causes a dimensional fluctuation,
[03:03] ---
    which is fired as a shock wave.
[03:05] Gald
    It's a supersonic slash,
    like the cuts of a whirlwind.
[03:10] Gald
    It caught me by surprise.
[03:13] Leohart
    I see.
[03:14] Gald
    I'm sorry, Leohart.
[03:16] Gald
    And I even volunteered to lead...
[03:20] Leohart
    No, you truly did well.
[03:24] Leohart
    Now get some rest, and heal your wounds.
[03:36] Leohart
    I can't believe Gald was defeated.
[03:40] Leohart
    Naruse Mio shattered that heroic spirit,
[03:43] Leohart
    Ramsus presented a glimpse of his
    true power for the first time,
[03:47] Leohart
    and that son of Jin Toujou...
[03:52] ---
    ...drove away Gald.
[03:58] Liala
    Leo-kun!
[04:01] Leohart
    Elder Sister!
[04:02] Liala
    What's the matter?
[04:03] Liala
    You look terrifying.
[04:05] Liala
    Did something unpleasant happen?
[04:08] Leohart
    No.
[04:10] Liala
    You can't hide it from me.
[04:12] Liala
    Your big sister Liala
    sees through everything!
[04:16] Leohart
    I can't win against you, can I, Elder Sister?
[04:19] Liala
    Then let's do the usual tonight.
[04:36] Liala
    Don't worry. You're a splendid
    Demon Lord, Leo-kun.
[04:40] Liala
    You won't ever lose.
[04:42] Liala
    After all, your big sister's on your side.
[04:44] Liala
    I'll take care of any bad people
    who try to get in our way!
[04:53] Lars
    Whoa.
[05:03] Liala
    I tripped!
[05:07] Lars
    That was rather extravagant...
[05:12] Lars
    Scary, scary.
[05:14] Leohart
    The form of the competition will be
    a 7-on-7 match of representatives.
[05:18] Leohart
    Whichever camp seizes the most victories
[05:21] ---
    will obtain authority over the demon realm.
[05:23] Leohart
    Thus it has been decreed under the
    name of the Demon Lord Leohart.
[05:31] Jin
    So, what do you plan to do, Ram-chan?
[05:34] Jin
    Well, there's no doubt it's a trap.
[05:36] Jin
    At the very least, the folks on the council
[05:39] ---
    wouldn't allow these conditions
    without some kind of ploy.
[05:43] Rukia
    True...
[05:45] Rukia
    It's unsettling that it doesn't
    touch at all on the victor's prize.
[05:50] Jin
    The reward goes without
    saying: it's Mio-chan.
[05:53] Jin
    And the head of whoever
    loses gets the axe.
[05:58] Jin
    Still, it's a lot better
    than waging full-scale war.
[06:01] Jin
    Just imagine if that heroic spirit showed
    up with a large army at its back.
[06:05] Jin
    The damage would be a lot worse than this.
[06:09] Ramsus
    We have no choice but to accept.
[06:11] Jin
    Still, things never do go
    quite as planned, do they?
[06:16] Jin
    The new Demon Lord Leohart
    being a man of such caliber
[06:19] ---
    and you calling Mio-chan here to the demon realm
[06:21] ---
    were both miscalculations, weren't they?
[06:23] Ramsus
    Indeed.
[06:24] Ramsus
    I thought the council would select a
    Demon Lord that was more easily manipulated,
[06:28] ---
    but I was naïve.
[06:30] Jin
    By the way, I went to our rendezvous
    point when things went down,
[06:34] ---
    but "she" was nowhere to be found.
[06:36] Jin
    Were there any changes
    in plans on your end, as well?
[06:39] Ramsus
    No, even I don't have a
    grasp on her whereabouts.
[06:43] Jin
    Hey, hey, seriously?
[06:45] Shella
    Well, Safia-chan doesn't seem to be
    in the demon realm at all, you know.
[06:51] Rukia
    Mother...
[06:52] Ramsus
    You can tell?
[06:54] Shella
    Hmm, well, you could say
    it's a woman's intuition.
[06:58] Jin
    Your intuition's usually on target, too...
[07:02] Jin
    Well, for now, let's clear out the
    problems that are right before us.
[07:12] Jin
    So, how do you plan on
    fighting this competition?
[07:16] Ramsus
    There's no question about it.
[07:17] ---
    I can't very well leave
    it up to those children.
[07:20] Jin
    Hold on there, Ram-chan.
[07:22] Jin
    I know Leohart was unexpected,
[07:24] ---
    but if we head out ourselves,
[07:27] ---
    the entire plan could be ruined.
[07:34] Mio
    Basara...
[07:34] Mio
    I'm sorry.
[07:36] Mio
    I...
[07:43] Basara
    I'll relieve you right now.
[07:48] Jin
    Fortunately, we still have some
    time before the competition.
[07:52] Jin
    I'll do everything I can to train them up
[07:55] ---
    till the final moment
    before we have to head out.
[08:00] Jin
    I'll teach them how they can win this.
[08:06] Mio
    O-Onii-chan!
[08:13] Jin
    You can put your decision off
    until you see that through, right?
[08:43] ---
    Damn it!
[08:48] Jin
    Come on. If you can still
    keep it up, then come at me.
[08:59] Jin
    Hey, hey.
[09:08] Jin
    It's hard enough to
    dodge attacks in mid-air.
[09:11] Jin
    So what are you doing challenging
    a power-type head on?
[09:12] Basara
    Not yet!
[09:19] Jin
    You're swinging that wide
    right after I told you not to?
[09:29] Jin
    That one wasn't bad, but...
[09:31] Jin
    if you want to hit your target for certain,
[09:34] ---
    you need to break your opponent's
    guard with your feint.
[09:37] Jin
    Otherwise...
[09:49] Jin
    you end up like this.
[09:52] Jin
    Can you keep going?
[09:54] Basara
    Of course!
[09:56] Jin
    I see.
[09:57] Jin
    Then we'll resume after a short break.
[10:06] Basara
    Hey, Dad...
[10:08] Jin
    Hmm?
[10:09] Basara
    You've met the current
    Demon Lord Leohart, right?
[10:14] Jin
    Yeah. He seemed young,
    but he was quite good.
[10:19] Basara
    Do you think I stand a chance
    of beating him as I am now?
[10:22] Jin
    Let's see.
[10:28] Jin
    Well, if you fight him head-on,
    he might be stronger than me.
[10:32] Basara
    You couldn't beat him either?!
[10:35] Basara
    I'm up against someone like that?
[10:38] Jin
    No, no, I never said there's
    no way for you to win.
[10:41] Jin
    It'll all how you go about it.
[10:44] Basara
    How I go about it?
[10:45] Jin
    For starters, you don't have
    a proper understanding
[10:49] ---
    of what your own greatest strength is.
[10:51] Jin
    To be honest, I'd rather take
    my time teaching it to you,
[10:55] ---
    but we don't have much left to us.
[10:57] Jin
    You finished resting?
[10:59] Basara
    Huh? Y-Yeah...
[11:07] Basara
    A barrier?!
[11:11] Jin
    We're going to do this a little rough.
[11:24] Jin
    From this point on, I'm going to
    come at you without holding back.
[11:49] Maria
    98...
[11:51] Maria
    99...
[11:54] Maria
    Just a little more, Mio-sama!
[11:55] Maria
    Let's get to a hundred!
[11:58] Mio
    Wh-What are you saying?! Jeez!
[12:04] Kurumi
    Onee...
[12:05] Kurumi
    I can't breathe.
[12:07] Yuki
    Don't give up yet.
[12:18] Shella
    Okay, that's enough.
[12:26] Shella
    There.
[12:27] Noel
    Good work, everyone!
[12:30] Noel
    Here's some magic water,
    perfect for recovering your stamina.
[12:33] Noel
    It's nice and cold!
[12:36] Maria
    Noel-san, give it to me!
[12:40] Shella
    Strengthening your basic physical abilities
[12:42] ---
    is the most fundamental way
    of raising your combat skill.
[12:45] Shella
    If you raise your baseline well,
    it's sure to help you out.
[12:49] Mio
    But that's not enough for me as is.
[12:53] Mio
    I need to be better at using
    the Demon Lord's power,
[12:56] Mio
    otherwise I'll be a burden to Basara again.
[12:59] Shella
    If you think you can do that overnight,
    then you're sorely mistaken!
[13:04] Mio
    But that man had no problem.
[13:09] Shella
    Ramsus is Ramsus.
[13:10] Shella
    You are you.
[13:12] Shella
    You need to hone your own strengths
    before you focus on Wilbert's power.
[13:16] Mio
    But that's...
[13:19] Shella
    Well, for example...
[13:23] Mio
    Huh?
[13:29] Kurumi
    Onee!
[13:31] Maria
    M-Mother, why?
[13:34] Shella
    It's fine. It's fine.
[13:39] Shella
    Here, everyone.
[13:41] Shella
    Say, "ahh."
[13:51] Mio
    Huh?
[13:52] Yuki
    No way.
[13:53] Zest
    This is...
[13:54] Shella
    Your Master-Servant pact incites
    a succubus's state of arousal,
[13:58] ---
    so I created a pill to suppress
    the curse's activation.
[14:02] Shella
    But I have one warning for you all.
[14:04] Yuki
    A warning?
[14:06] Shella
    As your loyalty increases,
[14:08] ---
    it will grow more difficult for you
    all to ascertain Basara's position.
[14:12] Mio
    You mean?!
[14:17] Noel
    Ow!
[14:18] Kurumi
    What? What was that sound?
[14:20] Zest
    That came from Oldra Forest!
[14:32] Maria
    Th-This is...
[14:34] Kurumi
    What happened?
[14:38] Mio
    Basara?!
[14:41] Jin
    Could you give him some treatment?
[14:43] Jin
    I took it a bit too far
    when I cornered him.
[14:45] Mio
    Are you all right?
[14:46] Mio
    Basara!
[15:03] Yuki
    Basara...
[15:15] Basara
    I'm...?
[15:16] Jin
    Hey. You awake now?
[15:21] Basara
    Dad...
[15:26] Jin
    We finished treating you, but don't push it.
[15:29] Basara
    Dad, I thought I had...
[15:31] Jin
    Hey, hey, you think I'd
    actually kill my cute boy?
[15:36] Jin
    Well, I was planning on pounding you enough
    to keep you from moving for a while.
[15:41] Basara
    Wh-What the heck?
[15:43] Basara
    You said you weren't holding back.
[15:45] Basara
    I thought I really was going to die.
[15:46] Basara
    Ow...
[15:47] Jin
    Who would tell you that beforehand?
[15:51] Jin
    If you don't have an appreciation of
    gaining the power by risking your own life,
[15:54] ---
    then you can't really place your
    life in its hands, now can you?
[16:00] Jin
    So, what did you think when you
    were on the verge of death?
[16:04] Basara
    I...
[16:11] (Flashback) Basara
    I have to protect everyone with
    my own power, no matter what.
[16:18] (Flashback) Basara
    How the hell can I die here?!
[16:24] Basara
    That's really all I thought.
[16:27] Jin
    Good. And do you remember
    that move at the end?
[16:31] Basara
    Yeah, somewhat.
[16:33] Jin
    Good.
[16:33] Jin
    Then remember that sensation well.
[16:36] Jin
    Now, you need to imagine yourself activating that
[16:38] Jin
    more consciously on your own, over and over.
[16:41] Jin
    Got it?
[16:42] Basara
    But that...
[16:44] Basara
    That's just like...
[16:47] Jin
    Yeah.
[16:48] Jin
    The way it works is pretty close to when you
[16:50] ---
    lost control of your power and
    caused that tragedy at the village.
[16:54] Jin
    It comes from converting your erasure
    energy into a discharged attack.
[17:13] Jin
    Basara!
[17:15] Jin
    Basara!
[17:16] Jin
    Get a grip, Basara!
[17:20] Jin
    Take deep breaths. Okay?
[17:34] Basara
    I'm fine.
[17:36] Basara
    Go on, Dad.
[17:38] Jin
    I see.
[17:40] Jin
    Basara, right now you have three
    limiters placed on your power.
[17:44] Basara
    "Three limiters"?
[17:47] Jin
    A conscious one,
[17:49] ---
    a subconscious one,
[17:51] ---
    and one based on hatred of Brynhildr
     for helping cause that incident.
[17:57] Jin
    It's difficult to control
    the use of a demon sword.
[17:59] Jin
    If the wielder's not careful, it could
     influence his mind and consume him.
[18:04] Jin
    However, your aversion to that is also
    placing a limit on Brynhildr's power.
[18:11] Jin
    This afternoon you were
     pushed to the edge,
[18:15] ---
    and you didn't have time to think
    about your aversion to Brynhildr.
[18:19] Jin
    That move's the result of that.
[18:22] Jin
    In order to match up with Leohart,
    you'll need to release one of those limiters—
[18:26] ---
    two if possible—or you'll be in trouble.
[18:31] Basara
    Two, huh?
[18:38] Jin
    Don't get so pessimistic.
[18:40] Jin
    This coming battle isn't one
    where you have to beat Leohart.
[18:45] Basara
    What do you mean?
[18:46] Jin
    Basara, what was your goal
    in coming to the demon realm?
[18:50] Basara
    That's obvious. To protect Mio.
[18:53] Jin
    However, if you go and win against
    the reigning Demon Lord faction,
[18:56] ---
    then the moderate faction will start up
    their cries again to make Mio-chan
[18:59] ---
    the next reigning Demon Lord.
[19:01] Jin
    But if you lose, it'll all be over, too.
[19:06] Basara
    You're saying to aim for a draw?
[19:08] Jin
    No.
[19:09] Jin
    The place where you're looking for to settle things
[19:11] Jin
    is on a different field from victory or defeat.
[19:14] Basara
    Then how am I supposed to?
[19:16] Jin
    Don't worry. There's a way.
[19:19] Basara
    Really, Dad?
[19:21] Jin
    If it doesn't work out,
    then I'll cover your back.
[19:25] Jin
    So go cut loose, Basara.
[19:29] Basara
    All right, Dad.
[19:32] Jin
    On that note,
[19:34] Jin
    there's something I need
    to talk to you about.
[19:37] Basara
    There is?
[19:39] Jin
    Actually, it's about your two mothers.
[19:43] Basara
    Huh?
[20:02] Yuki
    Basara...
[20:09] (Flashback) Jin
    In order to match up with Leohart,
    you'll need to release one of those limiters—
[20:14] (Flashback) ---
    two if possible—or you'll be in trouble.
[20:18] Basara
    If I release them, then I'll...
[20:28] Basara
    I'll...
[20:34] Basara
    I'll...!
[21:05] Shella
    Good morning, Basara-kun!
[21:08] Shella
    What are you up to this early in the morning?
[21:10] Basara
    Um,
[21:12] Basara
    I have a few requests.
[21:30] Rukia
    Ramsus-sama and I will
    join up with you later.
[21:33] Rukia
    Everyone, please be as careful as possible.
[21:36] Maria
    Leave it to me, Nee-sama.
[21:38] Maria
    I'll be with them!
[21:40] Rukia
    That's why I'm worried.
[21:42] Maria
    What?!
[21:45] Basara
    Let's go, everyone!
