**[00:24] Alicia**
Wow!
**[00:26] Alicia**
So many people and carriages!
**[00:34] Alicia**
Let's see... The Royal Academy is...
**[00:40] Alicia**
Excuse me. Are you all right?
**[00:43] Old Lady**
I suddenly started feeling ill...
**[00:46] Alicia**
Huh?!
**[00:56] Old Lady**
Thank you. I feel better now.
**[01:00] Alicia**
I'm glad. You'll be all right now.
**[01:03] Daughter**
Thank you so much. How can I ever repay you?
**[01:07] Alicia**
You don't need to thank me.
**[01:09] Alicia**
It took a long time since I'm only level 1.
**[01:12] Daughter**
Oh, no. Who knows what would have
happened to my mother if not for you?
**[01:17] Daughter**
Wait, by any chance...
**[01:20] Daughter**
Were you on your way to the Royal Academy?
**[01:22] Alicia**
Yes, I'm moving into the dorm today.
**[01:25] Daughter**
Oh, then you'd better hurry!
**[01:28] Alicia**
Huh?
**[01:28] Daughter**
I believe the academy's
gates close at 6 o'clock.
**[01:32] Alicia**
What?!
**[01:45] Alicia**
Wait! Wait!
**[01:52] Alicia**
You're kidding...
**[01:54] Oswald**
It's time to lock the gate.
**[01:56] Oswald**
It's the rule that the Royal
Academy's main gate closes at 6 o'clock.
**[02:00] Alicia**
But the bell hasn't even finished ringing...
**[02:05] Alicia**
And now it has.
**[02:07] Oswald**
Your name and grade?
**[02:09] Alicia**
Alicia Ehnleit. I'm a new first-year.
**[02:13] Alicia**
Wait, the color of your necktie...
Aren't you a first-year, too?
**[02:16] Oswald**
Yes. I've been helping with the weekly duties
**[02:19] Oswald**
to get myself accustomed to the school.
**[02:22] Oswald**
In any case, the rules are absolute.
**[02:25] Oswald**
You'll have to find lodging
in town for tonight.
**[02:27] Alicia**
But the entrance ceremony is tomorrow.
**[02:30] Alicia**
I need to get into the dorm today.
**[02:34] Alicia**
Besides, um... I don't have that much money.
**[02:39] Oswald**
Oh, so you're the one commoner
who was admitted here this year.
**[02:45] Oswald**
Not that I don't sympathize...
**[02:48] Oswald**
But rules are rules. Just give up.
**[02:52] Alicia**
What?! But you're a first-year, too!
**[02:54] Alicia**
Meanie!
**[02:56] Oswald**
Now, what I'm about to say
is just me talking to myself.
**[03:00] Alicia**
Huh?
**[03:01] Oswald**
There's a part of the wall on the
eastern side that's crumbling.
**[03:04] Oswald**
Students who break curfew often
enter and leave through there.
**[03:08] Oswald**
You're unlikely to be seen at this hour.
**[03:13] Alicia**
What's your name?
**[03:15] Oswald**
Oh, I hadn't introduced
myself yet. How rude of me.
**[03:18] Oswald**
I'm Oswald Grimsarde.
**[03:20] Alicia**
Grimsarde? I've heard that
name somewhere before...
**[03:24] Oswald**
Probably my father. He's a
cabinet minister, after all.
**[03:27] Alicia**
You're the son of a minister?!
**[03:29] Oswald**
My father is my father, and I am
me. Please call me by my name.
**[03:34] Alicia**
Sure. I'll call you Oz, then.
**[03:37] Oswald**
O-Oz?
**[03:42] Alicia**
Thanks, Oz! You're a nice guy!
**[03:47] Alicia**
I hope we'll be friends!
**[04:02] William**
Hand.
**[04:03] Alicia**
Huh?
**[04:04] William**
You broke curfew too, right?
**[04:06] William**
I'll help you in. Give me your hand.
**[04:08] William**
C'mon.
**[04:10] Alicia**
Thanks.
**[04:12] William**
Here we go. Ready, and... up!
**[04:15] Alicia**
You're really strong!
**[04:20] William**
Just follow me.
**[04:22] William**
I'm William Ares. You?
**[04:25] Alicia**
Alicia Ehnleit. Are you
a new first-year, too?
**[04:28] William**
Yeah. The older guys in the dorm
sent me to buy drinks for a party.
**[04:33] William**
See?
**[04:35] Alicia**
Oh...
**[04:37] William**
It's sort of a ritual for
new kids entering the dorm.
**[04:42] William**
Whoops...
**[04:43] William**
Watch your step there.
**[04:49] Alicia**
Thanks. You really are strong, huh?
**[04:54] William**
My dad's a general.
**[04:55] William**
He's been training me since I was a kid.
**[04:59] Alicia**
A minister and a general...
**[05:01] Alicia**
All the people here are from
such impressive families.
**[05:04] William**
Don't space out. If you're
not paying attention—
**[05:09] Alicia**
I-I... I can't!
**[05:14] Boys**
What the?!
**[05:16] Boys**
They just fell through the roof!
**[05:17] Boys**
You okay?!
**[05:19] Alicia**
That... didn't hurt? What?
**[05:22] Edwin**
I'm the one who's hurting.
**[05:24] Edwin**
Would you mind getting off of me?
**[05:26] Alicia**
I'm so sorry! Are you all right?
**[05:31] Edwin**
Who are you?
**[05:32] Alicia**
My name is Alicia.
**[05:34] William**
Hey, Ed. That had to hurt.
**[05:38] Alicia**
Ed? Are you two friends?
**[05:40] Edwin**
Yeah. I've known Will since we were kids.
**[05:46] Edwin**
I'm Edwin Valschein,
**[05:48] Edwin**
the second prince of the
Kingdom of Valschein.
**[05:51] Alicia**
A prince?!

**[07:25] Principal**
We haven't even had the
entrance ceremony yet,
**[07:27] Principal**
and you're already causing a commotion.
You don't waste time, do you?
**[07:31] Principal**
As the principal, I feel that
makes you worth teaching.
**[07:35] William**
This is all your fault.
**[07:37] Alicia**
What? Why me?
**[07:38] William**
I got distracted 'cause you talked to me.
**[07:40] Alicia**
Excuse me?!
**[07:41] Principal**
Quiet.
**[07:44] Principal**
William Ares...
**[07:46] Principal**
I'll be confiscating this.
**[07:52] Principal**
And Alicia Ehnleit...
**[07:54] Alicia**
Y-Yes?
**[07:56] Principal**
You have a rare and precious
talent for light magic.
**[08:00] Principal**
That is why you were the one and only
commoner admitted here on a scholarship.
**[08:05] Principal**
Always be aware of that, and mind
your behavior going forward.
**[08:10] Alicia**
I'm sorry.
**[08:11] Principal**
You will both be given extra duties
for one week as punishment.
**[08:14] Principal**
You are to work together, and no fighting.
**[08:17] Principal**
You may go.
**[08:18] Alicia/William**
Pardon us.
**[08:27] Principal**
*I see. So that's Alicia Ehnleit.*
**[08:32] Principal**
* She's our kingdom's last hope*
* of salvation from the Demon Lord...*
**[08:45] Alicia**
I screwed up on my first day.
**[08:47] Alicia**
I showed up late, broke a window, and
even got punished with extra duties.
**[08:52] TeacherA**
Intruder!
**[08:53] TeacherB**
There's an intruder! Capture him!
**[08:55] TeacherA**
Where'd he go?
**[08:57] TeacherB**
He may have climbed the wall to get outside.
**[09:00] TeacherA**
Go and look. I'll check the dorm.
**[09:02] TeacherB**
Right!
**[09:04] TeacherA**
There's been an intruder on school grounds!
**[09:06] TeacherA**
All of you, stay inside!
**[09:08] GirlA**
Okay!
**[09:09] GirlB**
Got it!
**[09:12] Alicia**
Scary...
**[09:14] Alicia**
I guess bad guys target this
school since it's full of nobles?
**[09:18] Alicia**
But I'm safe on that front,
considering I'm a commoner.
**[09:32] Alicia**
Take that!
**[09:34] Alicia**
Someone—
**[09:36] Edwin**
Be quiet. I'm not a bad guy.
**[09:39] Edwin**
It's you!
**[09:41] Edwin**
Your name was... Alicia?
**[09:44] Edwin**
It's me. Remember, the
guy who broke your fall?
**[09:48] Alicia**
Edwin... Your Highness?!
**[09:51] Edwin**
Yeah, there's some stuff going on...
**[09:53] Alicia**
"Stuff"?
**[09:55] Edwin**
There's something I want to look into...
**[09:58] Edwin**
But when I tried to sneak into the
school building, they spotted me.
**[10:01] Edwin**
I can't tell you the details, but...
**[10:03] TeacherA**
Find him?
**[10:04] TeacherB**
I didn't see him anywhere.
**[10:06] TeacherA**
I see. Stay on guard, though.
**[10:09] TeacherB**
Got it.
**[10:12] Edwin**
I can't go out there yet.
**[10:14] Edwin**
Please, let me hide here for a while.
**[10:17] Alicia**
What?!
**[10:24] Edwin**
Sorry about this.
**[10:26] Edwin**
I know a gentleman shouldn't just
dive into a lady's room, but...
**[10:31] Alicia**
Oh, it's fine. This almost
feels like a dream.
**[10:35] Alicia**
I've never talked to a member
of the royal family before.
**[10:39] Edwin**
It's the same for me. I'm always
surrounded by royalty and nobles.
**[10:43] Edwin**
Are all commoner women as violent as you?
**[10:48] Alicia**
Don't be mean! I did that because
I thought you were a robber!
**[10:52] Edwin**
I'm just kidding. Please don't hit me again.
**[11:00] Edwin**
I suppose I owe you one now.
**[11:02] Edwin**
About what happened tonight...
**[11:04] Alicia**
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.
**[11:07] Edwin**
I appreciate it.
**[11:10] Edwin**
I think the coast is clear now.
**[11:12] Edwin**
I don't want to trouble
you by staying too long.
**[11:18] Edwin**
See you at the entrance ceremony
tomorrow. Goodnight, Alicia.
**[11:21] Alicia**
Be careful, Prince Edwin.
**[11:31] Sword TeacherA**
The new students will now enter.
**[11:53] Alicia**
Oh, I'm sorry...
**[12:04] Yumiella**
Is something the matter, Alicia Ehnleit?
**[12:08] Alicia**
H-How do you know my name?
**[12:11] Yumiella**
I... just do.
**[12:13] Yumiella**
More importantly, are you feeling ill?
**[12:16] Alicia**
I-I'm all right.
**[12:20] Sword TeacherA**
The Royal Academy Entrance
Ceremony will now commence.
**[12:25] Principal**
Having the privilege to welcome you
first-years to our school today
**[12:29] Principal**
gives all of us at the academy
the greatest pleasure.
**[12:32] Principal**
As you are already aware...
**[12:34] (Flashback) Ed**
That's enough, Yumiella!
**[12:37] (Flashback) William**
That devil's luck of yours
is finally about to run out!
**[13:01] (Flashback) Oswald**
Now, Alicia!
**[13:03] (Flashback) Alicia**
Right!
**[13:04] (Flashback) Alicia**
Sacred light magic,
**[13:06] (Flashback) Alicia**
banish the darkness and grant me strength!
**[13:27] (Flashback) Edwin**
Alicia...
***SIGN*** Edwin
***SIGN*** Well done, Alicia.
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** Thank you, Prince Edwin.
**[13:45] (Flashback) Past Life Yumiella**
It's morning...
**[13:48] Yumiella**
*This game is called* Light Magic and the Hero*,*
***SIGN*** Light Magic and the Hero
***SIGN*** Light Magic and the Hero
**[13:52] Yumiella**
*or* Light and Hero *for short.*
***SIGN*** Light and Hero
**[13:55] Yumiella**
* It takes place in a world*
* of swords and magic.*
***SIGN*** Oswald
***SIGN*** Not that I don't sympathize...
But rules are rules. Just give up.
**[13:57] Yumiella**
*The heroine enrolls in the Royal Academy,*
**[14:00] Yumiella**
* where she deepens her relationships*
* with the conquerable characters*
***SIGN*** William
***SIGN*** You broke curfew too, right?
I'll help you in. Give me your hand. C'mon.
**[14:03] Yumiella**
* as she levels up and, eventually,*
* defeats the Demon Lord.*
***SIGN*** Edwin
***SIGN*** I suppose I owe you one now.
About what happened tonight...
**[14:06] Yumiella**
*It's a fairly cliché story.*
**[14:08] Yumiella**
* But after the ending in which*
* the Demon Lord is defeated,*
***SIGN*** The Demon Lord is defeated, but...
***SIGN*** A hidden boss has appeared.
**[14:11] Yumiella**
* the hidden boss, the game's*
* strongest foe, appears.*
**[14:15] Yumiella**
*She is Yumiella Dolkness,*
***SIGN*** Yumiella...?!
**[14:18] Yumiella**
*the villainess who uses dark magic*
***SIGN*** Don't tell me you're...
**[14:19] Yumiella**
* and bullies the heroine,*
* Alicia, throughout the game.*
***SIGN*** I thought you seemed
suspicious...!
***SIGN*** (We have to fight her?!)
**[14:25] Yumiella**
*And that's me.*
**[14:28] Yumiella**
*At age fifteen,*
**[14:30] Yumiella**
* I'm on my way to enter the*
* Royal Academy in the capital.*
***SIGN*** The Hidden Boss Enters the Academy
**[14:40] Yumiella**
* I was five years old when I regained*
* my memories from my previous life.*
**[14:46] Yumiella**
* While I was attending college,*
* I got hit by a truck*
**[14:50] Yumiella**
*and reincarnated in this world.*
**[14:55] Yumiella**
* Some research confirmed*
* that this was, in fact,*
**[14:58] Yumiella**
*the world of* Light and
Hero*, the game I played.*
**[15:03] Yumiella**
*Pondering why it happened won't do any good.*
**[15:06] Yumiella**
*All I know is that that's what happened.*
**[15:10] Yumiella**
* This kingdom was founded by the hero*
* and saint who defeated the Demon Lord.*
**[15:15] Yumiella**
*Because that Demon Lord was black-haired,*
**[15:17] Yumiella**
* black hair is seen as unlucky,*
* and even as a symbol of evil.*
**[15:25] Yumiella**
* That must be one of the things that*
* makes the villainess what she is.*
**[15:29] Yumiella**
*Even my servants keep me at arm's length.*
**[15:33] Yumiella**
* Also, I have no memory of ever meeting*
* my parents, who live in the capital.*
**[15:39] Yumiella**
* The Demon Lord can be*
* defeated at level 70 or so,*
**[15:42] Yumiella**
*but once Yumiella becomes the hidden boss,*
**[15:44] Yumiella**
* one's level has to be*
* maxed out to defeat her.*
**[15:47] Yumiella**
*She is truly the embodiment of unfairness.*
**[15:50] Yumiella**
*But she still gets defeated in the end.*
**[15:52] Yumiella**
*So does my existence really have any meaning?*
**[15:58] Yumiella**
*Still, I thought...*
**[16:01] Yumiella**
* I have the potential to*
* surpass even the final boss,*
**[16:03] Yumiella**
* I'm stronger than anyone*
* in the heroine's party,*
**[16:06] Yumiella**
* and I can use dark magic, which*
* only enemy characters can use.*
**[16:11] Yumiella**
*Isn't that... actually awesome?!*
**[16:15] Yumiella**
*Of course! There's no need to recreate the
story of* Light and Hero *to the letter!*
***SIGN*** William
***SIGN*** Stop picking on Alicia. Don't make me angry.
***SIGN*** Oswald
***SIGN*** If that's how it must be, I have an idea.
**[16:19] Yumiella**
* I had no interest in the dating*
* sim aspect of the game.*
***SIGN*** Edwin
***SIGN*** Stop messing with Alicia!
**[16:23] Yumiella**
* I had no emotional attachment to the*
* three conquerable characters, either.*
**[16:29] Yumiella**
*So instead of living out the
story of* Light and Hero*,*
**[16:32] Yumiella**
* I could just lay low and*
* enjoy a peaceful school life.*
**[16:36] Yumiella**
* I'd have nothing to do with*
* Alicia or the male leads.*
**[16:40] Yumiella**
* That way, I could avoid all risk*
* of becoming the hidden boss,*
***SIGN*** Edwin
***SIGN*** Defeat the Demon Lord! Let's go, everyone!
**[16:45] Yumiella**
*and in the spring of our third year,*
**[16:47] Yumiella**
* Alicia and the boys would defeat*
* the resurrected Demon Lord,*
**[16:50] Yumiella**
*and we'd all live happily ever after.*
**[16:57] Yumiella Age 5**
* But I should still raise*
* my level as much as I can.*
**[17:01] Yumiella Age 5**
* I need to be strong enough to beat the*
* Demon Lord myself if it comes to that.*
**[17:09] (Flashback) Yumiella Age 5**
Yah.
**[17:13] (Flashback) Yumiella Age 5**
It comes so naturally.
**[17:17] Yumiella Age 5**
* When you kill a monster,*
* you get a magic stone.*
**[17:21] Yumiella Age 5**
*I should be able to sell these for money.*
**[17:28] (Flashback) Yumiella Age 5**
I think my movements are a little faster now.
**[17:31] (Flashback) Yumiella Age 5**
Is this what leveling up feels like?
**[17:36] Yumiella Age 5**
*The gamer blood in me is boiling!*
**[17:40] Yumiella**
* I was always the type to get*
* absorbed in what I was doing,*
**[17:43] Yumiella**
* so I'd sneak out of the*
* mansion essentially every day*
**[17:46] Yumiella**
*and get engrossed in leveling up.*
**[17:49] Yumiella**
* On top of that, I made*
* money off of magic stones*
**[17:52] Yumiella**
*and bought all kinds of items.*
**[17:54] Yumiella**
* The first thing I bought*
* was the Amulet of Growth.*
**[17:57] Yumiella**
* The Amulet of Protection would*
* be better for keeping me safe,*
**[18:00] Yumiella**
* but wearing this would allow*
* me to level up much faster.*
**[18:06] Yumiella**
*Then, I entered the dungeon.*
**[18:10] Yumiella Age 5**
*I'll be fine by myself.*
**[18:12] Yumiella Age 5**
* I can regenerate an arm*
* with my magic if I need to.*
**[18:18] Yumiella Age 5**
*I conquered it.*
**[18:25] Yumiella**
*I also acquired the Monster-Calling Flute.*
**[18:31] Yumiella**
*And day...*
**[18:34] Yumiella**
*after day...*
**[18:37] Yumiella**
*after day...*
**[18:45] Yumiella**
*Until today, at age fifteen,*
**[18:47] Yumiella**
*I've focused only on leveling up efficiently.*
**[18:50] Yumiella**
* I've been through the same dungeon*
* from start to end countless times.*
**[18:59] Yumiella**
* I hope I'll be able to continue*
* leveling up after I start school.*
**[19:14] Yumiella**
Even the building looks just
like it did in the game.
**[19:22] Yumiella**
I'm exhausted.
**[19:27] Father**
*Attend the Royal Academy.*
**[19:30] Father**
* While there, befriend as many sons*
* of high-ranking noblemen as you can.*
**[19:35] Father**
* They don't need to be eldest sons, as I'll*
* have one marry you and become my heir.*
**[19:41] Yumiella**
And this is my first
interaction with my parents?
**[19:45] Yumiella**
I should...
**[19:47] Oswald**
It's time to lock the gate.
**[19:48] Oswald**
It's the rule that the Royal
Academy's main gate closes at 6 o'clock.
**[19:53] Alicia**
But the bell hasn't even finished ringing...
**[19:58] Yumiella**
*It's really playing out just
like it did in* Light and Hero*.*
**[20:02] Alicia**
Wait, the color of your necktie...
Aren't you a first-year, too?
**[20:06] Yumiella**
*Avoid getting involved with those four.*
**[20:09] Yumiella**
*That's the key to having a peaceful life.*
**[20:15] Sword TeacherA**
The new students will now enter.
**[20:18] Sword TeacherA**
The Royal Academy Entrance
Ceremony will now commence.
**[20:23] Principal**
Having the privilege to welcome you
first-years to our school today
**[20:27] Principal**
gives all of us at the academy
the greatest pleasure.
**[20:31] Principal**
As you are already aware...
**[20:31] Yumiella**
*I feel eyes on me.*
**[20:34] Yumiella**
*Oh, right. It must be my hair.*
**[20:38] Sword TeacherA**
We will now assess your levels.
**[20:42] Yumiella**
*What? Assess our levels?*
**[20:48] Magic Teacher**
Alicia Ehnleit: level 1.
**[20:51] Principal**
Work your hardest going forward.
**[20:53] Alicia**
I will.
**[20:55] Yumiella**
*What is my level, anyway?*
**[20:57] Yumiella**
*Come to think of it, I've never checked...*
**[21:00] Magic Teacher**
William Ares: level 10.
**[21:02] Students**
Whoa!
**[21:03] Students**
Incredible!
**[21:05] William**
Yeah, I guess!
**[21:06] Yumiella**
*They're that excited over level 10?*
**[21:09] Yumiella**
* Then if I don't want to stand out,*
* I hope I'm... around level 5?*
**[21:15] Yumiella**
*Level 5...*
**[21:17] Yumiella**
*wouldn't be enough to beat a boss character.*
**[21:21] Principal**
Miss Yumiella Dolkness.
**[21:23] Yumiella**
Yes, sir.
**[21:26] Principal**
Are you nervous?
**[21:28] Principal**
Don't worry. There's nothing embarrassing
about being level 1 when you start school.
**[21:33] Yumiella**
*No, that's not why I'm nervous.*
**[21:45] Magic Teacher**
Eldest daughter of Count
Dolkness, Yumiella Dolkness...
**[21:49] Magic Teacher**
L-Level 99?!
**[21:51] Students**
What?!
**[21:53] Students**
For real?!
**[21:54] StudentA**
Level 99?!
**[22:03] Yumiella**
*Well... goodbye to my peaceful life...*

**[00:02] Students**
Level 99?
**[00:03] Students**
99? Seriously?
**[00:05] Students**
That can't be right...
**[00:05] Students**
Level 99...
**[00:07] Students**
99? I've never heard of anyone that high.
**[00:16] Yumiella**
* Shoot... I had no idea*
* my level was that high.*
**[00:20] Principal**
It must be an error.
Bring us the backup magic tool.
**[00:24] Magic Teacher**
Y-Yes, sir.
**[00:29] Principal**
Miss Yumiella Dolkness, try it one more time.
**[00:38] Magic Teacher**
It's still level 99.
**[00:41] Students**
For real?
**[00:41] Students**
Level 99...
**[00:42] Students**
What's going on?
**[00:44] Magic Teacher**
Miss Yumiella, did you have
any idea your level was this high?
**[00:49] Yumiella**
* I can't hide it any longer.*
* I guess I'll have to run with it.*
**[00:53] Yumiella**
Yes, I believe the reading is correct.
**[00:57] Sword Teacher**
There's no problem with
the magic tool itself.
**[00:59] Sword Teacher**
You tampered with it somehow, didn't you?
**[01:02] Yumiella**
No, I believe level 99 is correct.
**[01:06] Sword Teacher**
You might not know this, but levels
only go up when you kill monsters!
**[01:11] Sword Teacher**
We know you're lying. Just tell us the truth.
**[01:14] Yumiella**
*I have been killing them, though...*
**[01:20] Students**
She can kill monsters?
**[01:22] Students**
No way.
**[01:24] Principal**
Quiet!
**[01:25] Principal**
Everyone, just calm down.
**[01:28] Principal**
We'll see whether she's telling the
truth or not once classes begin.
**[01:33] Principal**
Miss Yumiella, please give your
greeting and return to your seat.
**[01:40] Yumiella**
*Oh? Looks like the principal doubts me, too.*
**[01:45] Yumiella**
I am Yumiella Dolkness.
Pleased to meet all of you.
**[01:49] Girl1**
She must have cheated somehow, right?
**[01:51] GIrl2**
She's a fraud.
**[01:52] Yumiella**
* Worst case, I'll have*
* to flee the country alone.*
**[01:55] Yumiella**
* Even out in the sticks, I'm sure I*
* can get by with just my strength.*
**[01:59] Magic Teacher**
We will continue to assess your levels.
**[02:03] Magic Teacher**
Patrick Ashbatten.
**[02:05] Patrick**
Yes, ma'am.
**[02:08] Yumiella**
* I expected Alicia to stand out due*
* to being the only commoner here,*
**[02:12] Yumiella**
* but in the end, she never drew any*
* particular attention to herself.*
**[02:15] Yumiella**
*Sorry for stealing the show, protagonist.*
***SIGN*** Villainess Level 99
***SIGN*** I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord
**[03:58] Yumiella**
* So the entrance ceremony is*
* followed by a buffet party?*
**[04:03] Yumiella**
*Not that there's anyone I know here,*
**[04:06] Yumiella**
*nor anyone who'd want to hang out with me.*
**[04:09] Yumiella**
* And I don't want to stand out,*
* so I'll just leave early.*
**[04:19] William**
Hey, you with the black hair!
**[04:22] William**
You're name's Yumiella Dolkness, right?
**[04:24] William**
What trick did you use back there?
**[04:27] Yumiella**
* Now I've got this pain*
* in the neck on my case.*
**[04:29] Yumiella**
Um... Are you talking about
the level assessment?
**[04:32] William**
Obviously!
**[04:34] William**
I get wanting to stand out,
but have you no pride as a noble?
**[04:38] Edwin**
Relax, Will.
**[04:41] Edwin**
I understand how you feel, but this
isn't the place to make a fuss.
**[04:46] Yumiella**
A pleasure to meet you, Prince Edwin.
**[04:48] Yumiella**
I am Yumiella Dolkness.
**[04:51] Edwin**
The daughter of Count Dolkness...
**[04:53] Edwin**
Central wannabe.
**[04:57] Edwin**
Miss Yumiella,
**[04:58] Edwin**
I know that Will has worked
harder than anyone else
**[05:01] Edwin**
at sword training since he was a child.
**[05:04] Edwin**
That's how he reached level 10
before he entered this school.
**[05:08] Edwin**
And what you did trampled all
over his hard-earned achievement.
**[05:13] Yumiella**
Ah...
**[05:15] Yumiella**
*Why does everyone just assume that I cheated?*
**[05:20] Yumiella**
* Not that I can blame them for*
* being suspicious, I guess.*
**[05:24] Yumiella**
It's true that I'm level 99.
**[05:27] Yumiella**
As the principal said,
**[05:29] Yumiella**
I'm confident you'll see
that once classes begin.
**[05:33] Edwin**
Hmph. Still keeping up the
innocent act, are you?
**[05:36] William**
Are you saying you're stronger than me?
**[05:39] William**
You'd better be glad I don't
have my gloves right now!
**[05:42] Oswald**
Honestly, level 99?
That's not realistic at all.
**[05:49] Oswald**
Couldn't you come up with
a more believable lie?
**[05:52] Yumiella**
* All three of the conquerable*
* characters are here.*
**[05:55] Yumiella**
*Edwin Valschein.*
**[05:57] Yumiella**
* This kingdom's second prince,*
* and the game's main hero.*
**[06:01] Yumiella**
* A magic swordsman,*
* user of both blades and spells.*
**[06:04] Yumiella**
*William Ares.*
**[06:06] Yumiella**
* A musclehead with a strong sense*
* of justice and a short temper.*
**[06:11] Yumiella**
*Oswald Grimsarde.*
**[06:13] Yumiella**
* A magic prodigy, and the*
* "cool-headed glasses guy" type.*
**[06:18] Yumiella**
*The three of them are friends, as well.*
**[06:20] Yumiella**
*I never had any interest in them.*
**[06:25] Yumiella**
* For the sake of avoiding any*
* connection to the game's story,*
**[06:28] Yumiella**
*I'd rather avoid contact with them.*
**[06:31] William**
Well? Got anything to say for yourself?
**[06:34] Yumiella**
It seems as if you wouldn't
believe anything I said, anyway.
**[06:37] William**
You're still talking like that?!
**[06:39] Oswald**
If you're going to lie, be better at it.
**[06:42] Edwin**
If you insist it's true,
**[06:43] Edwin**
why don't you show us your level
99 magic right here and now?
**[06:48] Yumiella**
*He clearly didn't think this through.*
**[06:50] Yumiella**
* I don't mind showing them, but I don't*
* want to create an even bigger commotion.*
**[06:54] Yumiella**
Uh... Speaking of magic, I understand
there's a commoner here who uses light magic.
**[07:01] Yumiella**
Right there, in fact.
**[07:03] Yumiella**
She seems to be struggling, being in a
new, unfamiliar place with no friends.
**[07:08] Yumiella**
Why don't you go and talk to her?
**[07:11] Oswald**
True. There's no need for us
to listen to your nonsense.
**[07:15] William**
And we'll see the truth
once classes start, right?
**[07:18] Edwin**
I look forward to seeing how
the school deals with you.
**[07:31] Alicia**
Prince Edwin! Oz! William!
**[07:34] Edwin**
Hi, Alicia.
**[07:35] William**
What, you guys know her?
**[07:39] Yumiella**
*I'm so exhausted.*
**[07:42] Rita**
You're home quite early, Miss Yumiella.
**[07:45] Rita**
The party isn't over yet, is it?
**[07:49] Yumiella**
It's fine. There's no one I can
see myself becoming friends with.
**[07:53] Yumiella**
*This is Rita,*
**[07:54] Yumiella**
* the maid sent by my father to look*
* after me while he's in the capital.*
**[07:58] Rita**
You'll never find a good partner that way.
**[08:02] Rita**
That will trouble the master, as well.
**[08:04] Yumiella**
* It seems she's also here as*
* an overseer to ensure that*
**[08:07] Yumiella**
* I don't act out of line and that*
* I find a marriage partner quickly,*
**[08:11] Yumiella**
*as well as to report back to Father about me.*
**[08:14] Rita**
I hear the second prince, Edwin,
is among your classmates.
**[08:18] Yumiella**
* Yes, and said second prince seems to*
* have a very negative impression of me.*
**[08:24] Yumiella**
* Wait, she doesn't know about the*
* commotion my level caused, then?*
**[08:28] Yumiella**
*What kind of overseer are you?*
**[08:31] Yumiella**
Say, do you know what
"central wannabe" means?
**[08:37] Rita**
Someone called you that, I take it?
**[08:39] Rita**
It's nothing you need to
concern yourself with.
**[08:42] Yumiella**
I never said anyone called me that.
**[08:47] Yumiella**
So it does refer to the Dolkness family.
**[08:50] Rita**
You are familiar with the "central
nobles" and "regional nobles," yes?
**[08:54] Yumiella**
Yes. We're regional nobles, right?
**[08:57] Yumiella**
Since we don't hold any special
position in the capital.
**[09:01] Rita**
Yes.
**[09:03] Rita**
"Central wannabe" refers to regional nobles
**[09:07] Rita**
who spend all their time in the capital,
even though they hold no position there.
**[09:11] Yumiella**
Ah.
**[09:13] Yumiella**
So it refers to useless nobles
who spend all their time
**[09:16] Yumiella**
goofing off in the capital,
but doing no real work there,
**[09:18] Yumiella**
while leaving their domains in
the hands of local governors?
**[09:21] Rita**
U-Um...
**[09:28] Yumiella**
*Classes began the next day.*
**[09:33] Yumiella**
*I'm completely isolated in the classroom.*
**[09:35] Yumiella**
* But, you know, this might*
* actually make things easier.*
**[09:39] Yumiella**
* It might not be so bad to be part*
* of the decor for the next three years.*
**[09:42] Classmates**
Look, it's that black-haired girl.
**[09:44] Classmates**
She claims she's level 99.
**[09:47] Classmates**
She might be not quite right in the head.
**[09:52] Yumiella**
* My hearing has leveled up significantly*
* as well, so I can hear every word.*
**[09:56] Yumiella**
* They want me to prove that*
* I'm level 99 that badly?*
**[10:00] William**
Wow, so light magic can heal
people who are sick or hurt, too?
**[10:05] William**
We might be needing your help, then.
**[10:08] Oswald**
The old lady you helped out came
to the school to thank you.
**[10:12] Oswald**
I would have opened the gate for
if you'd told me what happened.
**[10:16] Edwin**
So, do you think you'll get
along okay at the academy?
**[10:19] Alicia**
To be honest, I'm a little worried.
**[10:21] Alicia**
I'm a commoner, after all.
**[10:23] Edwin**
If anything happens, come
straight to us, all right?
**[10:26] Edwin**
We'll help you out.
**[10:30] Yumiella**
*Today's the first day of classes.*
**[10:32] Yumiella**
* If this was playing out like the game,*
* Alicia wouldn't be close to those three yet.*
**[10:36] Yumiella**
*Yet they're already such good friends.*
**[10:41] Yumiella**
* Did the story change because*
* I sent them to her?*
**[10:47] Yumiella**
*Alicia Ehnleit.*
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** I can use light magic!
**[10:49] Yumiella**
*A very rare user of light magic.*
**[10:52] Yumiella**
* That's why she was allowed to enter the*
* academy, even though she's a commoner.*
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** So this is the Royal Academy...
**[10:56] Yumiella**
*Light magic is dark magic's only weakness,*
**[11:00] Yumiella**
* so she could be a trump card*
* against the Demon Lord.*
**[11:03] Yumiella**
*Although no one has told her about that yet.*
**[11:12] Yumiella**
*That same reaction again...*
**[11:20] Yumiella**
*Afternoon.*
**[11:22] Yumiella**
*Our first class was practical swordsmanship.*
**[11:26] Yumiella**
*This sword...*
**[11:27] Yumiella**
*It's made of wood, but it's real.*
**[11:29] Yumiella**
*The first one I've ever held...*
**[11:32] Yumiella**
* This reminds me of the souvenir toy*
* sword I saw during a field trip.*
**[11:35] Yumiella**
*It was an item any gamer would want to have,*
**[11:38] Yumiella**
*but I couldn't afford it at the time.*
**[11:41] Sword Teacher**
You'll take turns fighting mock battles
**[11:43] Sword Teacher**
so that we can assess your skill levels.
**[11:45] Sword Teacher**
Up first is our level 99 student... you.
**[11:50] William**
I'll be her opponent, then.
**[12:00] Girls**
Master William!
**[12:02] Girls**
Good luck!
**[12:07] Yumiella**
*So... how should I hold back against him?*
**[12:13] Girls**
Master William!
**[12:14] Girls**
Get her!
**[12:18] Yumiella**
*When I was killing monsters to level up,*
**[12:20] Yumiella**
*I mainly used magic,*
**[12:23] Yumiella**
* but my physical attacks are*
* also incredibly strong.*
**[12:26] William**
What's wrong, you fraud?
**[12:29] William**
If you wanna back out, now's the time.
**[12:33] Yumiella**
* Whether you live or die rides on*
* my sense of subtlety, you know.*
**[12:37] Sword Teacher**
Both of you, take your positions!
**[12:43] Students**
What kind of stance is that?
**[12:44] Students**
Pathetic!
**[12:51] William**
C'mon, get into position already!
**[12:53] William**
Or are you gonna surrender without fighting?
**[12:55] Yumiella**
I'm sorry. It's my first time using a sword.
**[12:59] Yumiella**
We can begin just like this.
**[13:02] William**
How long are you gonna keep mocking me?!
**[13:04] William**
I won't go easy on you
just 'cause you're a girl!
**[13:07] William**
Expect a broken bone or two!
**[13:12] Yumiella**
*He's slow.*
**[13:22] Yumiella**
* Sorry. I wasn't expecting you*
* to take such a dramatic fall.*
**[13:28] Yumiella**
Sir, are we finished?
**[13:31] Yumiella**
Should I continue to attack?
**[13:33] Sword Teacher**
Th-The winner is Yumiella Dolkness.
**[13:36] William**
I'm not done!
**[13:37] William**
Pretending to be a beginner?!
Could you be any more of a coward?!
**[13:49] Yumiella**
*These are tougher than I thought.*
**[13:51] Yumiella**
*Wait, I mean...*
**[13:53] Yumiella**
*Is he okay?*
**[13:55] Yumiella**
*If anything happens to him,*
**[13:57] Yumiella**
* I'll pursue the teacher's*
* responsibility as our supervisor.*
**[14:03] Yumiella**
*Looks like I'm safe.*
**[14:06] Yumiella**
Uh... Shall I carry him
to the nurse's office?
**[14:10] Sword Teacher**
No, that's fine. I'll take him.
**[14:16] Sword Teacher**
All of you, do practice swings
on your own until I come back.
**[14:20] Sword Teacher**
And no matches! Understand?!
**[14:23] Yumiella**
* If Alicia were here, she could*
* heal him with light magic,*
**[14:28] Yumiella**
*but she was placed in another group.*
**[14:33] Yumiella**
*There's no need to be that scared.*
**[14:36] Yumiella**
*I held back quite a bit against William.*
**[14:39] Yumiella**
* The fact that he's not mincemeat*
* right now proves it.*
**[14:43] Yumiella**
Practice swings, eh?
**[14:53] Yumiella**
* The teacher didn't return*
* before the class period ended.*
**[15:02] Yumiella**
*Our next class was practical magic.*
**[15:05] Yumiella**
*We joined up with another group of students,*
**[15:08] Yumiella**
*but Edwin isn't among them.*
**[15:11] Yumiella**
* Which is fine with me.*
* I want nothing to do with him.*
**[15:13] Magic Teacher**
First, let's have you all
demonstrate your magic abilities.
**[15:17] Magic Teacher**
Since this is our first lesson,
just hitting the target is good enough.
**[15:29] Yumiella**
* The four basic magic attributes*
* are fire, wind, water, and earth.*
**[15:37] Yumiella**
* And then there are the very rare*
* users of light and dark magic.*
**[15:43] Students**
Wow, amazing!
**[15:45] Students**
This is the first time I've
ever seen light magic!
**[15:47] Alicia**
Th-Thank you.
**[16:03] Students**
Awesome...
**[16:03] Magic Teacher**
I expected no less from
you, Oswald Grimsarde!
**[16:07] Magic Teacher**
You've mastered all four magic attributes.
**[16:10] Magic Teacher**
It's no wonder they call you a prodigy.
**[16:12] Oswald**
Really, this is nothing.
**[16:16] Oswald**
You're up next. What incredible
magic will you show us?
**[16:21] Yumiella**
*He wasn't part of the previous class,*
**[16:23] Yumiella**
* so I guess he doesn't know*
* I kicked William's butt.*
**[16:28] Yumiella**
* The truth is, I can't use the four*
* basic attributes all that well.*
**[16:33] Yumiella**
*Yes, I am...*
**[16:36] Yumiella**
* a woman who's maxed out her*
* talents in muscle and darkness.*
**[16:40] Yumiella**
Um, is it all right if we break the target?
**[16:44] Oswald**
It's been specially made.
**[16:47] Oswald**
And even I couldn't break
it. There's no way you can.
**[16:52] Magic Teacher**
You'd have to be as powerful
as a palace mage to break that.
**[16:56] Magic Teacher**
Of course, you're welcome
to break it if you can.
**[17:00] Yumiella**
Thank you.
**[17:02] Yumiella**
*As powerful as a palace mage, huh?*
**[17:06] Yumiella**
*Easy.*
**[17:07] Yumiella**
Dark Flame.
**[17:11] Oswald**
I wondered what she'd use.
**[17:13] Oswald**
It's just a peashooter.
**[17:15] Magic Teacher**
That's...
**[17:26] Yumiella**
*Dark Flame.*
**[17:28] Yumiella**
*It looks like fire, but it's not hot at all,*
**[17:31] Yumiella**
*and it easily melts both stone and metal.*
**[17:34] Yumiella**
* It's similar to sulfuric*
* or nitrohydrochloric acid,*
**[17:37] Yumiella**
* so when used on monsters,*
* it's rather grotesque.*
**[17:42] Oswald**
Was that really...
**[17:44] Yumiella**
Yes, it was dark magic.
**[17:46] Yumiella**
I can't use the other attributes at all.
**[17:50] Magic Teacher**
Th-That was brilliant.
**[17:52] Magic Teacher**
Everyone, dark magic is not evil.
**[17:56] Magic Teacher**
There have been palace mages
in the past who used it.
**[17:59] Magic Teacher**
Try not to adopt any negative
prejudices about it.
**[18:02] Oswald**
This can't be...
**[18:04] Oswald**
I'm a magic prodigy.
**[18:07] Oswald**
So how... How can there be a
better magic user than me?!
**[18:11] Oswald**
I refuse to accept this!
**[18:15] Magic Teacher**
Oswald!
**[18:18] Edwin**
Yumiella Dolkness.
**[18:24] Edwin**
Your expulsion paperwork is complete.
**[18:26] Edwin**
You are not fit to attend the Royal Academy.
**[18:30] Yumiella**
* That's what he was doing*
* instead of attending class?*
**[18:34] Principal**
Those who lie about their own level
are not fit for this academy...
**[18:38] Principal**
no, unfit for the nobility of
the Kingdom of Valschein.
**[18:42] Principal**
You will find it difficult to live
in this kingdom if you are expelled.
**[18:48] Yumiella**
I will?
**[18:49] Yumiella**
Well, it might not be so bad
to move to another country.
**[18:53] Magic Teacher**
P-Please wait, Your Highness! Principal!
**[18:57] Magic Teacher**
She is a rare and precious
user of dark magic.
**[19:00] Magic Teacher**
She destroyed a target that even palace
mages have difficulty breaking.
**[19:04] Magic Teacher**
She might truly be level 99 after all!
**[19:08] Magic Teacher**
Her expulsion would be a
great loss to this kingdom!
**[19:12] Principal**
But a palace mage can break it, right?
**[19:15] Principal**
So it doesn't prove that she's level 99.
**[19:18] Principal**
If you want this expulsion revoked,
you'll need to convince me.
**[19:26] Yumiella**
*It looks like they really want to expel me,*
**[19:30] Yumiella**
* but wouldn't giving someone as powerful*
* as a palace mage to another country*
**[19:34] Yumiella**
*create problems for the royal family,*
**[19:36] Yumiella**
*Prince Edwin?*
**[19:40] Magic Teacher**
Miss Yumiella, that spell you used
wasn't your full strength, was it?
**[19:44] Magic Teacher**
Show them your magic at
full strength now! Please!
**[19:49] Yumiella**
*It's hard to refuse when she begs like that.*
**[19:53] Yumiella**
Very well. I'll unleash
this spell into the sky.
**[19:57] Yumiella**
Prince Edwin, may I use magic?
**[20:01] Edwin**
Do whatever you want.
**[20:03] Yumiella**
Are you sure about that?
**[20:05] Edwin**
Just do it already.
**[20:07] Yumiella**
But if something happens,
who'll be held responsible?
**[20:10] Edwin**
Shooting some magic into the
sky isn't going to do anything.
**[20:13] Edwin**
I'll assume responsibility.
**[20:16] Yumiella**
*All right. I got his word.*
**[20:18] Yumiella**
*I'll use the strongest dark magic spell*
**[20:22] Yumiella**
* that only the Demon Lord and*
* I could use in the game.*
**[20:27] Yumiella**
* But... it's probably a bad idea*
* to actually use my full strength.*
**[20:31] Yumiella**
*I'll hold back just enough.*
**[20:36] Yumiella**
Black Hole.
**[21:00] Students/Teachers**
What is that?!
**[21:01] Students/Teachers**
That darkness in the sky!
**[21:02] Students/Teachers**
The sun disappeared!
**[21:04] Yumiella**
*Black Hole.*
**[21:06] Yumiella**
*A spell that unconditionally erases*
**[21:08] Yumiella**
* all matter within a given range by*
* controlling the gravitational field.*
**[21:12] Yumiella**
*In other words, as the spell expands,*
**[21:14] Yumiella**
* even the air within its*
* range is being eliminated,*
**[21:17] Yumiella**
*and now it's become a perfect vacuum*
**[21:20] Yumiella**
* as the air surrounding it sucks*
* everything in with tremendous power.*
**[21:53] Yumiella**
How was that, Your Highness?
**[21:55] Yumiella**
Are you convinced that I'm level 99 now?

**[02:00] Guard**
Your Royal Majesty,
**[02:02] Guard**
Miss Yumiella Dolkness has arrived.
**[02:08] Nobleman**
Dolkness? That central wannabe.
**[02:08] Noblewoman**
Black hair...
**[02:09] Nobleman**
Is it true that she's level 99?
**[02:12] Nobleman**
It seems she really did
summon a black hole, though.
**[02:15] Noblewoman**
How spooky...
**[02:24] Guard**
Yumiella Dolkness, raise your head.
**[02:33] King**
Miss Yumiella Dolkness.
**[02:35] Yumiella**
Yes.
**[02:36] King**
I'm aware of what happened at the academy.
**[02:40] King**
It seems my son and the teachers
behaved quite ungraciously.
**[02:44] King**
I apologize.
**[02:46] Noblewoman**
The king just...
**[02:47] Nobleman**
...bowed his head?!
**[02:49] Yumiella**
N-Not at all. I did something
that was blatantly foolhardy
**[02:52] Yumiella**
and caused a great deal
of trouble to everyone.
**[02:55] King**
No, denouncing you based
on one-sided assumptions
**[02:58] King**
without first ascertaining your
abilities was unreasonable.
**[03:03] King**
That said...
**[03:05] King**
It certainly is difficult to believe
a dainty young lady such as yourself
**[03:08] King**
could be level 99.
**[03:10] King**
Which is why...
**[03:13] King**
I would like to have my knight captain,
Adolf, judge your authenticity.
**[03:18] King**
There is no one who would
not accept his decision.
**[03:23] Yumiella**
*Knight Captain Adolf.*
**[03:25] Yumiella**
* He's said to be the strongest*
* knight in the kingdom.*
**[03:27] Yumiella**
*I think his level is around 60.*
***SIGN*** Adolf
***SIGN*** Come at me if you want to die!
**[03:31] Yumiella**
* Considering you had to be at level 60 or*
* 70 to fight the Demon Lord in the game,*
**[03:36] Yumiella**
*it's clear he's strong.*
**[03:38] Adolf**
Out of respect to one who has reached
the highest level man can attain,
**[03:41] Adolf**
I will unleash an attack
with all my strength.
**[03:46] Yumiella**
*Wait, right here and now?*
**[03:47] Yumiella**
* Would counterattacking*
* be the right choice here?*
**[03:50] Yumiella**
* The king didn't say I should either*
* fight him or evade his attack.*
**[03:54] Yumiella**
*So I'll...*
**[03:56] Yumiella**
*get out of it with a bow!*
**[04:04] Adolf**
There aren't even any knights
who can evade that attack.
**[04:07] Adolf**
And she appeared calm enough to
think about how she should react.
**[04:11] Adolf**
I believe it is true that she is level 99.
**[04:16] Adolf**
I apologize, Miss Yumiella.
**[04:19] Adolf**
But I cannot defy His Majesty's orders.
**[04:24] King**
Brilliantly done, Miss Yumiella.
**[04:26] King**
Would you mind showing
me your magic, as well?
**[04:29] Yumiella**
Of course.
**[04:30] Yumiella**
Please excuse me, then.
**[04:32] Yumiella**
Shadow Lance.
**[04:41] King**
Ah, dark magic? How unusual.
**[04:47] King**
What do you think, Head Palace Mage?
**[04:50] King**
There are some who say that
evil monsters use dark magic.
**[04:55] Head Palace Mage**
Allow me to answer your question.
**[04:58] Head Palace Mage**
Dark magic, like the four main
attributes and light magic,
**[05:03] Head Palace Mage**
is no better or worse than
another magical attribute.
**[05:05] Head Palace Mage**
Like light magic, it's extremely powerful,
**[05:10] Head Palace Mage**
but its up to the user to decide how
it's used, just like any other attribute.
**[05:16] Head Palace Mage**
Users of dark magic are quite rare.
**[05:20] Head Palace Mage**
Perhaps this, along with their appearance,
led people to imagine they were evil.
**[05:26] King**
Hmm... So people fear things that
they do not know or understand.
**[05:32] King**
Perhaps black hair is abhorred
for the same reason.
**[05:37] Yumiella**
*Oh... Is he saying all this for my sake?*
**[05:42] Yumiella**
*I should be very grateful.*
**[05:44] King**
Miss Yumiella, well done reaching heights
that none in this world have reached before.
**[05:50] King**
Now, I would love to know just
how you achieved such a level.
**[05:53] Yumiella**
Of course. I didn't do anything
particularly special.
**[05:57] Yumiella**
After earning money by killing
monsters in our domain,
**[06:00] Yumiella**
I acquired an Amulet of Growth,
entered a dungeon alone,
**[06:04] Yumiella**
played a Monster-Calling Flute,
and just kept killing monsters.
**[06:08] Nobleman**
Without an Amulet of Protection?
**[06:11] Nobleman**
A dungeon? Alone?!
**[06:12] Guard1**
And she even used a Monster-Calling Flute?!
**[06:14] Guard2**
Most people would die!
**[06:15] King**
Adolf, could you do the same thing?
**[06:19] Adolf**
Only one amulet can be equipped at once.
**[06:23] Adolf**
That's why I never remove
my Amulet of Protection,
**[06:26] Adolf**
which protects me from fatal wounds.
**[06:28] Adolf**
I would be too terrified to call
monsters to me if I were alone.
**[06:33] Yumiella**
*Wait, isn't this normal, though?*
**[06:37] King**
Yumiella Dolkness,
**[06:39] King**
I would like you to wield your
strength as a sword for our kingdom.
**[06:45] Yumiella**
Of course. As one of Your
Majesty's loyal subjects,
**[06:48] Yumiella**
I have every intention of serving as
the Kingdom of Valschein's shield.
**[06:53] King**
Very well.
**[06:55] King**
Wield your strength for this
kingdom when it is in peril.
**[06:59] King**
Now, I would like to reward your
unprecedented accomplishment.
**[07:04] King**
If there is anything you desire, simply ask.
**[07:08] King**
Be it a peerage, a domain, or even
a royal treasure, it is yours.
**[07:13] King**
I'm even willing to welcome
you into the royal family.
**[07:16] Yumiella**
* Is he talking about letting me*
* marry someone in the royal family?*
**[07:20] Yumiella**
*It's a very generous offer, but...*
**[07:22] Yumiella**
* He probably just wants to come up with*
* a way to chain me to the kingdom.*
**[07:27] Yumiella**
*But what I want is absolute peace.*
**[07:33] Yumiella**
While I didn't expect such a
kind offer, I am most grateful.
**[07:37] Yumiella**
So long as I and the
kingdom may live in peace,
**[07:39] Yumiella**
with all the necessities for survival,
**[07:41] Yumiella**
there is nothing else I wish for.
**[07:44] King**
I see.
**[07:45] King**
Then I give you my word that I will do
my utmost to grant you a life of peace.
**[07:49] Yumiella**
*I'm sorry, Your Majesty.*
**[07:51] Yumiella**
* I fully intend to flee the kingdom if*
* anything happens that I don't like.*
**[07:57] Yumiella**
*After that, for some reason,*
**[07:58] Yumiella**
*I was invited to the queen's chambers.*
**[08:02] Queen**
Miss Yumiella.
**[08:05] Queen**
Thank you for coming.
**[08:07] Queen**
This is not a place of official business,
so there's no need for formalities.
**[08:11] Yumiella**
All right. Thank you for inviting me here.
**[08:15] Queen**
Nothing said within this room will
ever be known to those outside.
**[08:20] Queen**
I have discussions in here that I don't
want others knowing about, after all.
**[08:23] Yumiella**
*I want to go home right now!*
**[08:26] Queen**
Please, don't be so wary.
**[08:28] Queen**
Both His Majesty and I
are quite taken with you.
**[08:32] Yumiella**
Thank you very much.
**[08:34] Queen**
You seem to think having any kind
of authority is troublesome.
**[08:39] Queen**
But you seem intelligent.
**[08:41] Queen**
If you were a woman of ambition...
**[08:45] Queen**
The thought gives me chills.
**[08:47] Yumiella**
Um, why do you trust me so much?
**[08:51] Queen**
There are many nobles who pretend to be
**[08:53] Queen**
free of avarice to get
close to the royal family.
**[08:56] Queen**
Knowing the difference
comes naturally to me now.
**[09:01] Queen**
Now, shall we cut to the chase?
**[09:04] Queen**
This is information
**[09:06] Queen**
that only the royal family and a
precious few nobles are privy to.
**[09:10] Queen**
The Demon Lord will return in two years.
**[09:13] Queen**
Yumiella, I want you to assist
us in defeating the Demon Lord.
**[09:19] Yumiella**
The Demon Lord? You mean the
one spoken of in the legends?
**[09:23] Queen**
Yes. The first king, who
defeated the Demon Lord,
**[09:27] Queen**
prophesied that the enemy would return,
including when it would happen.
**[09:31] Yumiella**
* So the royal family knew the*
* Demon Lord was coming back?*
**[09:35] Queen**
We are formulating a plan
to defeat the Demon Lord
**[09:39] Queen**
with a small, elite force
centered around Edwin.
**[09:42] Queen**
As the leaders of the people,
**[09:44] Queen**
the royal family has an obligation
to defeat the Demon Lord.
**[09:47] Queen**
There are other talented students
at the Royal Academy, as well.
**[09:51] Queen**
Provided they are nurtured well,
**[09:53] Queen**
it may be possible to assemble a force
of students to take on the Demon Lord.
**[09:56] Yumiella**
* So they admitted Alicia,*
* a user of light magic,*
**[10:00] Yumiella**
* in anticipation of having*
* her fight the Demon Lord.*
***SIGN*** (What? Prince Edwin?!
What are you doing here?!)
**[10:04] Yumiella**
Come to think of it, Edwin was looking into
the academy's scheme in the game, too.
**[10:09] Yumiella**
I understand. Of course,
I would be happy to help.
**[10:13] Yumiella**
* I'd planned to take out the Demon Lord*
* myself if it came to that, anyway.*
**[10:18] Queen**
Thank you, Miss Yumiella.
**[10:20] Queen**
However, I am sorry to say this,
**[10:24] Queen**
but having you defeat the Demon Lord would
not be the best thing for this kingdom.
**[10:29] Yumiella**
You mean because it would bring the
legitimacy of the royal family into question?
**[10:34] Queen**
Yes. As I said a moment ago,
**[10:36] Queen**
it must be the royal family
that defeats the Demon Lord.
**[10:40] Queen**
Otherwise, our right to rule the
kingdom would come under suspicion.
**[10:44] Queen**
Oh, I know, Miss Yumiella!
**[10:46] Queen**
Why don't you become
a saint and marry Edwin?
**[10:49] Yumiella**
No, thank you.
**[10:51] Yumiella**
*Oops! That was pure reflex!*
**[10:54] Yumiella**
I'm sorry... That was rude of me.
**[10:57] Queen**
It's quite all right.
**[10:59] Queen**
But we have two years before
we must fight the Demon Lord.
**[11:02] Queen**
Please take your time, and think about it.
**[11:06] Queen**
The problem we face now
**[11:08] Queen**
is all the nobles trying to drag
you into their own factions.
**[11:12] Yumiella**
Their factions?
**[11:14] Queen**
Yes. There are two factions in this kingdom,
**[11:17] Queen**
the king's faction and the anti-king faction.
**[11:20] Queen**
It may become the spark
that ignites a war.
**[11:23] Queen**
The anti-king faction is also
known as the extremist faction.
**[11:26] Queen**
It is composed of various
nobles led by Duke Hillrose.
**[11:30] Queen**
They are all nobles who are dissatisfied
with the current state of the kingdom,
**[11:33] Queen**
and they have proposed wars of conquest
**[11:36] Queen**
against other countries as a means
of taking out their frustrations.
**[11:39] Queen**
And the "central wannabes,"
**[11:42] Queen**
regional nobles who spend all their time
**[11:44] Queen**
in the capital despite
holding no position there,
**[11:46] Queen**
are almost all anti-king, in
other words, extremists.
**[11:51] Queen**
The head of the Dolkness
family is no exception.
**[11:54] Yumiella**
* Which means... my parents are probably*
* at Duke Hillrose's beck and call.*
**[12:00] Yumiella**
What should I do if my parents order
me to marry into the Hillrose family?
**[12:06] Queen**
I will send a royal order to the Dolkness
household forbidding your relocation.
**[12:11] Queen**
But I believe three years
is the most I can buy you.
**[12:15] Yumiella**
Thank you. That's more than enough.
**[12:18] Yumiella**
* I need to do something about my family*
* relations by the time I graduate.*
**[12:22] Queen**
Try to avoid the anti-king faction
and the Hillroses in particular.
**[12:26] Queen**
Also, other countries are as
unlikely as our own to overlook
**[12:30] Queen**
the emergence of someone who's
reached level 99, so do be careful.
**[12:34] Yumiella**
I understand.
**[12:35] Queen**
I will also send one of His
Majesty's men to the academy.
**[12:39] Queen**
If you need anything,
feel free to talk to him.
**[12:45] Rita**
Welcome home.
**[12:46] Rita**
Um...
**[12:48] Rita**
I heard you met with the king
over your level 99 status?
**[12:52] Yumiella**
Yes, and I had tea with the queen.
**[12:55] Rita**
The master has sent photos of
potential marriage partners for you.
**[12:59] Rita**
They're all reputable
men of central nobility.
**[13:02] Yumiella**
That aside, could you put on some tea?
**[13:05] Yumiella**
This was a gift from the queen.
**[13:07] Yumiella**
I can't eat it all on my
own. Would you join me?
**[13:10] Rita**
Th-These are...
**[13:11] Rita**
sweets from a first-class pâtisserie!
**[13:14] Rita**
I'll prepare tea right away!
**[13:20] King**
She's a brilliant girl.
**[13:22] King**
I can't believe she reached
level 99 by the age of 15.
**[13:26] Queen**
I didn't even know there was a limit
to how high one's level could be.
**[13:30] King**
The head mage seems to think it's only an
assumption that hasn't been verified yet.
**[13:35] King**
But if Miss Yumiella's level won't go any
higher, then there's no doubt about it.
**[13:40] Queen**
I believe she had no choice
but to get stronger.
**[13:43] Queen**
She seems to be estranged from her parents,
**[13:46] Queen**
and I'm sure her black hair has
caused her to be shunned by many.
**[13:50] Queen**
She was loved by no one and
had no one to depend on,
**[13:53] Queen**
yet she holds no grudge against
those who surround her.
**[13:56] Queen**
She truly is strong.
**[13:58] King**
I'm sure other nobles will be
maneuvering to win her over.
**[14:01] King**
We'll need to get things in
order for her at the academy.
**[14:04] Queen**
Yes. Miss Yumiella wishes
for nothing but peace.
**[14:08] Queen**
Though it would be nice if
she made friends her age
**[14:10] Queen**
and developed an attachment to the kingdom...
**[14:14] King**
Yes...
**[14:18] Yumiella**
*One week after I was summoned to the castle,*
**[14:20] Yumiella**
* the way people looked at*
* me had changed drastically.*
**[14:24] Yumiella**
* Even the classmates who*
* had kept me at a distance*
**[14:27] Yumiella**
*gradually began to talk to me more.*
**[14:30] Alice**
Good morning, Miss Yumiella.
**[14:32] Becky**
You're here early again, I see.
**[14:34] Yumiella**
Good morning.
**[14:36] Yumiella**
* Until now, they thought I was too*
* dangerous to even try to talk to.*
**[14:41] Cyrille**
Have you received any more invitations
from the king since then?
**[14:44] Diva**
I heard the queen gave
you a gift. Is that true?
**[14:48] Yumiella**
Y-Yes.
**[14:51] Alice/Becky**
How amazing!
**[14:56] Yumiella**
* Things are still the same as*
* always between me and Alicia.*
**[15:00] Yumiella**
*As for the prince and his friends...*
**[15:03] Edwin**
I apologize.
**[15:05] Edwin**
Let's go.
**[15:08] Yumiella**
*That sums it up.*
**[15:10] Yumiella**
* The royal couple probably*
* gave him a good scolding.*
**[15:15] Yumiella**
*And the most significant change of all is...*
**[15:18] Yumiella**
* I'm suddenly being called upon*
* by all manner of noble boys.*
**[15:22] Boy Student**
And thus, we will rule over all the
surrounding nations as our colonies!
**[15:27] Boy Student**
All you need to do is destroy
the enemy nations' armies.
**[15:30] Boy Student**
You can leave all the political
stuff to me, your husband!
**[15:34] Yumiella**
*I'm getting hit on like this every day.*
**[15:36] Yumiella**
* Most of the people who align with the*
* king's faction are easy to get along with.*
**[15:41] Yumiella**
*They're content with a bit of small talk.*
**[15:43] Yumiella**
* There's no formal political*
* conversation with them.*
**[15:46] Yumiella**
* Those of the extremist anti-king*
* faction, on the other hand,*
**[15:49] Yumiella**
* are aggressive in their*
* efforts to win me over.*
**[15:52] Yumiella**
*Like this guy.*
**[15:53] Boy Student**
And ultimately, we will rule
over this entire continent!
**[15:57] Boy Student**
Doesn't that sound fantastic?
**[15:59] Yumiella**
* He's the most intense of all the*
* anti-king people who've approached me*
**[16:03] Yumiella**
*in the past week.*
**[16:05] Boy Student**
I think this is quite a good deal for you!
**[16:07] Boy Student**
You, a black-haired girl,
would become my wife!
**[16:11] Boy Student**
And I'll buy you all the
dresses and jewelry you want.
**[16:14] Yumiella**
I decline.
**[16:15] Yumiella**
I only like people who are stronger than me.
**[16:20] Yumiella**
* This is the surefire method for*
* refusing marriage proposals*
**[16:22] Yumiella**
*that I've come up with in the past few days.*
**[16:25] Boy Student**
Physical strength isn't enough to
keep one going in this day and age.
**[16:28] Boy Student**
What's important is how smart you are.
**[16:30] Boy Student**
And that is where I excel!
**[16:33] Yumiella**
*He didn't get the hint.*
**[16:35] Yumiella**
Then you'll make sure I don't
have to do violent things
**[16:37] Yumiella**
like fighting armies and
putting down rebellions?
**[16:42] Boy Student**
N-No! A girl whose only talent is fighting
need not think about anything else!
**[16:46] Boy Student**
All you need to do is listen to
those who are superior! Namely, me!
**[16:50] Yumiella**
You call yourself superior, but
are you the top of our grade?
**[16:55] Boy Student**
One's superiority is not
determined by test scores.
**[16:58] Yumiella**
You say you'll rule the continent.
So who will manage its affairs?
**[17:03] Boy Student**
Me, of course! I'm confident
in my ability to rule!
**[17:06] Yumiella**
If you intend to unify the entire continent,
**[17:08] Yumiella**
that means you'll bring this kingdom's
royal family under your rule, yes?
**[17:13] Boy Student**
Eh?
**[17:14] Yumiella**
Meaning you'll be committing insurrection
against the royal family of Valschein.
**[17:18] Boy Student**
N-No... I...
**[17:20] Yumiella**
In this kingdom, the punishment
for insurrection is death.
**[17:26] Yumiella**
I'll pretend this conversation
never happened.
**[17:29] Yumiella**
But someone else may have overheard us.
**[17:33] Yumiella**
You might want to avoid coming
in contact with me again.
**[17:36] Yumiella**
Just being around me may
invite unwanted suspicion.
**[17:42] Boy Student**
D-Don't you tell anyone about this!
**[17:45] Yumiella**
*I should head back to my room.*
**[17:47] Yumiella**
* Nothing good will come*
* of me wandering around.*
**[17:51] Eleonora**
Miss Yumiella!
**[17:53] Eleonora**
Good timing. I was just looking for you.
**[17:56] Yumiella**
Miss Eleonora Hillrose...
**[17:58] Yumiella**
*It's finally happened.*
***SIGN*** Eleonora
***SIGN*** I would be willing to allow
you to join my group.
**[18:01] Yumiella**
* The lone daughter of the*
* only duke in Valschein,*
**[18:03] Yumiella**
*and part of the anti-king faction, Eleonora.*
**[18:09] Yumiella**
*Though she's a new student,*
**[18:10] Yumiella**
* she already reigns supreme over*
* all the girls in the academy.*
**[18:14] Yumiella**
* It's rumored that she orders*
* them around like a tyrant.*
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** (Miss Eleonora is surrounded
by her followers again, I see.)
**[18:17] Yumiella**
* In the game, Yumiella tries*
* to earn Eleonora's acceptance*
**[18:21] Yumiella**
* by doing mean things to Alicia, and*
* that's what causes her to turn evil.*
**[18:26] Yumiella**
*The queen did warn me about this.*
**[18:28] Yumiella**
* I was hoping to avoid getting*
* involved with her...*
**[18:31] Eleonora**
I'm glad I found you.
**[18:33] Eleonora**
I was simply dying to talk to you.
**[18:36] Yumiella**
*She's the type I absolutely can't stand.*
**[18:39] Eleonora**
You're free right now, aren't you?
**[18:41] Eleonora**
Please come to my tea party!
**[18:43] Yumiella**
* If I turn her down flat, that itself*
* will invite all kinds of trouble.*
**[18:47] Yumiella**
Yes, I am free. Too free, in fact.
**[18:53] Yumiella**
* I've never really had a social life, so*
* I know nothing about fashion or trends.*
**[18:58] Yumiella**
*Can I even manage girl talk?*
**[19:00] Yumiella**
*I cannot!*
**[19:01] Yumiella**
*But even I'm capable of some idle chatter.*
**[19:04] Yumiella**
* Behold! The three sacred*
* implements of idle chatter!*
**[19:07] Eleonora**
Miss Yumiella.
**[19:09] Yumiella**
*Here it comes!*
**[19:10] Eleonora**
Parfeu is the only perfume for me.
***SIGN*** I see.
**[19:15] Yumiella**
I see.
**[19:16] Eleonora**
I was deeply moved by the
ideology of the brand's founder.
***SIGN*** That's amazing.
**[19:20] Yumiella**
That's amazing.
**[19:21] Eleonora**
The story of the first time he ever
made perfume is just so romantic.
***SIGN*** Please tell me more.
**[19:27] Yumiella**
Please tell me more.
**[19:30] Yumiella**
* By the way, I'm not listening to*
* a word she's saying.*
**[19:33] Yumiella**
* In the game, she was always busy*
* being the queen of the academy,*
**[19:36] Yumiella**
*so she didn't show up all that often.*
**[19:38] Yumiella**
*I didn't expect her to be such a chatterbox.*
**[19:40] Yumiella**
* She looks way more like*
* a villainess than I do.*
**[19:44] Yumiella**
* I really want to raise a big*
* stink about this casting error.*
**[19:47] Yumiella**
* But did she invite me here just to*
* talk to me about stuff like this?*
**[19:54] Yumiella**
*Finally getting to the point now?*
**[19:56] Eleonora**
Miss Yumiella Dolkness...
**[19:58] Eleonora**
I want you to give up on Prince Edwin!
**[20:01] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[20:03] Yumiella**
On Prince Edwin?
**[20:05] Eleonora**
Yes. If you'll do that, I'm willing
to allow you to join my group.
**[20:11] Yumiella**
Um...
**[20:13] Eleonora**
Don't play dumb with me!
**[20:15] Eleonora**
I know the king suggested
that you marry Prince Edwin!
**[20:20] Eleonora**
You are not fit to be Prince Edwin's wife!
**[20:22] Eleonora**
If you don't want to make an enemy of me,
**[20:24] Eleonora**
give up and stay away from him!
**[20:27] Yumiella**
*Am I the one you should be saying that to?*
**[20:30] Yumiella**
*Not Alicia, the one he's with all the time?*
**[20:33] Yumiella**
I informed His Majesty that I had
no desire to wed Prince Edwin.
**[20:37] Eleonora**
You're lying!
**[20:37] Eleonora**
You met the queen after that
**[20:39] Eleonora**
and told her you wanted to marry
Prince Edwin, didn't you?!
**[20:42] Yumiella**
No, I did not.
**[20:43] Yumiella**
The fact that there's been no announcement
after a whole week proves it.
**[20:49] Eleonora**
You do have a point.
**[20:50] Eleonora**
You seem to be aware of
your place. That's good.
**[20:54] Eleonora**
If you'll swear to stay
away from Prince Edwin,
**[20:57] Eleonora**
I'll allow you to be my friend.
**[21:00] Yumiella**
I appreciate the invitation,
but I must turn it down, as well.
**[21:04] Eleonora**
What?! Why—
**[21:06] Eleonora**
Don't tell me you're only
pretending to be disinterested,
**[21:09] Eleonora**
but you really are after Prince Edwin!
**[21:12] Yumiella**
*God, she's a pain.*
**[21:14] Yumiella**
There is someone far more worthy
of Prince Edwin than I am.
**[21:18] Eleonora**
Huh?
**[21:19] Yumiella**
That would be you.
**[21:21] Yumiella**
I believe you and His Highness
would make a fine couple.
**[21:24] Eleonora**
Oh, my!
**[21:26] Eleonora**
You have a very good eye!
**[21:28] Eleonora**
I've danced with Prince
Edwin many times, you know!
**[21:32] Eleonora**
Prince Edwin is so wonderful when
he dances! He's such a gentleman!
**[21:36] Yumiella**
*She's so easy.*
**[21:37] Yumiella**
* So the reason she approached*
* me was actually the prince?*
**[21:47] Alice**
Excuse me, Miss Yumiella.
**[21:49] Becky**
Would you mind if we sat with you?
**[21:52] Yumiella**
Oh... Please.
**[21:53] Alicia**
May I sit here?
**[21:55] Yumiella**
Of course.
**[22:01] Alicia**
Miss Yumiella...
**[22:02] Alicia**
Are you the Demon Lord?
**[22:05] Yumiella**
Huh?

**[00:00] Alicia**
Miss Yumiella...
**[00:02] Alicia**
Are you the Demon Lord?
**[00:04] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[00:08] Jessica**
The Demon Lord?
**[00:09] Alice**
Miss Yumiella? Really?
**[00:11] Becky**
I know she uses dark magic, but...
**[00:13] Yumiella**
* How does Alicia know that the*
* Demon Lord is coming back?*
**[00:17] Yumiella**
Me? The Demon Lord?
What are you talking about?
**[00:22] Alice**
Ed was saying that the Demon Lord
is coming back in two years.
**[00:27] Yumiella**
"Ed"?
**[00:29] Yumiella**
* She's calling the prince by a nickname*
* barely a week after they first met?*
**[00:32] Yumiella**
* Well, her communication skills*
* are level 99, if nothing else.*
**[00:36] Yumiella**
*But anyway...*
**[00:38] Yumiella**
*That stupid prince.*
**[00:39] Yumiella**
* Did he really blab top-secret*
* information to Alicia?*
**[00:43] Yumiella**
Did Prince Edwin say that I'm the Demon Lord?
**[00:47] Alicia**
He only said that the Demon Lord
would be coming back in two years.
**[00:51] Alicia**
But you're... well...
**[00:57] Alicia**
The black...
**[00:58] Yumiella**
Black? Oh...
**[01:01] Yumiella**
Yes, I do have black hair,
**[01:03] Yumiella**
but do you have any basis for assuming
I'm the Demon Lord because of that?
**[01:07] Yumiella**
And didn't we learn in magic class
that dark magic isn't evil?
**[01:14] William**
Yumiella Dolkness!
**[01:15] Edwin**
What have you done to Alicia?!
**[01:17] Oswald**
We're here now. Everything's all right.
**[01:20] Yumiella**
* If anyone's had something*
* done to her, it's me.*
**[01:24] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia was saying strange things
about the Demon Lord returning
**[01:29] Yumiella**
and about me being the Demon Lord,
so I denied it. Nothing more.
**[01:33] Yumiella**
* The Demon Lord's return*
* needs to be kept secret.*
**[01:37] Yumiella**
*A member of the royalty should know that.*
**[01:38] Yumiella**
* Hurry up and tell her that stuff*
* about the Demon Lord was just gossip.*
**[01:41] Edwin**
It's true that the Demon Lord
is going to return in two years.
**[01:44] Edwin**
Only a few people know that, though.
**[01:47] Yumiella**
*This stupid prince!*
**[01:49] William**
I get it! So you're the Demon Lord!
**[01:52] Yumiella**
I'm not.
**[01:54] Yumiella**
* I may be the hidden boss,*
* but I'm not the Demon Lord.*
***SIGN*** Villainess Level 99
***SIGN*** I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord
**[03:31] Yumiella**
* They're unfazed after hearing*
* about the Demon Lord.*
**[03:34] Yumiella**
* So William and Oswald must*
* have already heard about it.*
**[03:38] Yumiella**
The Demon Lord isn't coming
back for two years, right?
**[03:42] Yumiella**
But I'm here right now.
What does that make me?
**[03:46] William**
Y-You're gonna start doing
evil stuff, aren't you?!
**[03:49] William**
I'll punish you myself!
**[03:51] Yumiella**
*This meathead...*
**[03:54] Yumiella**
Uh...
**[03:56] Yumiella**
You think you can beat me?
**[04:01] Yumiella**
Do you really think I'm
the Demon Lord, as well?
**[04:04] Oswald**
If that's what Alicia says.
**[04:06] Yumiella**
*He's an idiot, too.*
**[04:07] Oswald**
Besides, you being the Demon Lord
would explain that strength of yours.
**[04:12] Yumiella**
*I can't deny that.*
**[04:15] Yumiella**
Yes, I am indeed strong.
**[04:17] Yumiella**
As strong as the Demon Lord, perhaps.
**[04:20] Yumiella**
But you three are too weak.
**[04:24] Yumiella**
If you intend to defeat me,
you need to get stronger.
**[04:28] Yumiella**
* I need them to get stronger so they can*
* defeat the actual Demon Lord, anyway.*
**[04:34] Yumiella**
*No, wait.*
**[04:35] Yumiella**
* Maybe this is my chance to*
* teach them how to level up?*
**[04:40] Yumiella**
* It might improve their*
* opinion of me a bit, too.*
**[04:45] Yumiella**
I'd like to teach all of you
the basics of leveling up.
**[04:48] Edwin**
Huh? What are you...
**[04:50] Yumiella**
The fundamental way to level
up is defeating monsters.
**[04:53] Yumiella**
Delve into dungeons whenever you have time,
**[04:56] Yumiella**
and kill as many as you can.
**[04:57] Yumiella**
Don't use Amulets of Protection.
**[04:59] Yumiella**
Wear Amulets of Growth, which
double the experience you receive.
**[05:03] Yumiella**
Use a Monster-Calling Flute to defeat
as many monsters as possible.
**[05:07] Yumiella**
And to maximize efficiency,
**[05:10] Yumiella**
you'll need to fight solo
rather than forming a party.
**[05:13] Yumiella**
I recommend going for monsters
that specialize not in defense,
**[05:17] Yumiella**
but in offense, because you
spend less time fighting them.
**[05:20] Yumiella**
Obviously, stronger monsters are the
most efficient for raising your level,
**[05:24] Yumiella**
so go as deep into the dungeon as you can.
**[05:27] Yumiella**
Leveling up is basically a form
of occupational performance,
**[05:30] Yumiella**
so setting daily goals and doing
your best to meet them is crucial.
**[05:35] Yumiella**
Especially you, Miss Alicia.
**[05:37] Yumiella**
Since you can use light magic,
the responsibility on you is immense.
**[05:41] Yumiella**
Please do your leveling
up in a dark-type dungeon.
**[05:44] Alicia**
H-Huh?
**[05:46] Yumiella**
*Yep. Nailed it.*
**[05:51] Yumiella**
* Looks like that was so amazing,*
* they're all speechless.*
**[05:54] Edwin**
Are...
**[05:55] Edwin**
Are you trying to kill us?!
**[05:58] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[05:59] Yumiella**
Was it a little too difficult for them?
**[06:02] Edwin**
Let's go.
**[06:03] Yumiella**
I know all of you can handle it.
**[06:06] Yumiella**
If you're afraid, shall I tag along with you?
**[06:10] Edwin**
No need!
**[06:12] Edwin**
I'll get stronger in my own way.
**[06:15] Yumiella**
*Guess I didn't get through to them.*
**[06:17] Yumiella**
* But everyone else here must be thrilled*
* to get all that useful information...*
**[06:22] Boy1**
Use a Monster-Calling Flute? Is she nuts?
**[06:24] Boy3**
And going into a dungeon without
an Amulet of Protection?
**[06:27] Girl1**
Did you know there were dark-type dungeons?
**[06:30] Girl2**
I never dreamed a place that scary existed.
**[06:32] Boy4**
Maybe that's where she came from...
**[06:36] Yumiella**
*Well, this was a flop.*
**[06:39] Yumiella**
*But all that aside...*
**[06:42] Yumiella**
*Why is Alicia so wary of me?*
**[06:45] Yumiella**
*Could it be... she was reincarnated, like me?*
**[06:49] Yumiella**
*I'll have to look into it.*
**[06:54] Yumiella**
* If Alicia only vaguely remembers*
* what happened in the game,*
**[06:58] Yumiella**
* I could understand her mistaking*
* me for the Demon Lord, but...*
**[07:03] Alicia**
I'll bake some cookies next time.
**[07:05] Edwin**
I can't wait.
**[07:09] Oswald**
Doing okay in your classes?
**[07:10] Alicia**
Yeah, I think so.
**[07:15] William**
Wow, you live near the ocean, huh?
**[07:17] Alicia**
Yep.
**[07:19] Yumiella**
*I tried observing Alicia for a day,*
**[07:22] Yumiella**
*but she's just... a nice girl.*
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** (I'm an ordinary citizen, after all.)
**[07:25] Yumiella**
* In the game, she's the*
* cheerful, innocent type.*
**[07:28] Yumiella**
* She enrolls in the academy so she*
* can use her magic to help others.*
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** (I'll never fit in with all of them...)
**[07:33] Yumiella**
* At first, she doesn't*
* understand noble customs,*
**[07:36] Yumiella**
*so she doesn't fit in.*
***SIGN*** Edwin
***SIGN*** Alicia, you know we're on your side.
**[07:38] Yumiella**
*Then the conquerable characters help her out,*
**[07:41] Yumiella**
*and she opens up to them.*
**[07:45] Yumiella**
Good kitty.
**[07:51] Yumiella**
*In this world, too...*
**[07:53] Alicia**
Meow, meow.
**[07:54] Yumiella**
* She's kind to everyone,*
* and she's very cheerful.*
**[07:58] Yumiella**
* It's only her reactions*
* to me that are strange.*
**[08:03] Yumiella**
* Also, I feel like I don't see her*
* with other girls very often...*
**[08:07] Yumiella**
* But I guess having those three*
* guys with her all the time*
**[08:10] Yumiella**
*makes it hard to approach her.*
**[08:13] Alicia**
Bye, kitty.
**[08:17] Yumiella**
*Gotta follow her...*
**[08:21] Yumiella**
*But first, there's something I need to do.*
**[08:27] Yumiella**
*Kitty!*
**[08:33] Yumiella**
Meow, meow.
**[08:42] Yumiella**
*I figured that would happen.*
**[08:43] Yumiella**
* Ever since I reincarnated as Yumiella,*
* animals seem terrified of me.*
**[08:50] Yumiella**
* He's one of my classmates.*
* I think his name is...*
**[08:56] Yumiella**
*No, more importantly...*
**[08:58] Yumiella**
Were you watching?
**[08:59] Patrick**
No, I didn't see anything.
**[09:01] Yumiella**
*He definitely saw.*
**[09:04] Yumiella**
It's not that it ran away from me.
**[09:06] Yumiella**
I could've caught that cat, but
it would have taken the use of force.
**[09:10] Yumiella**
So I suppose it would be more
correct to say I let it get away.
**[09:18] Yumiella**
Pardon me. I have things to do.
**[09:26] Yumiella**
*Where did she go?*
**[09:29] Yumiella**
*There!*
**[09:33] Alicia**
Um, I've never heard this incantation before.
**[09:37] Edwin**
Oh, right, you might not
be familiar with that one.
**[09:41] Edwin**
It's something that nobles in Valschein know.
**[09:44] Alicia**
I see!
**[09:46] Yumiella**
*She's getting Edwin to help her study.*
**[09:49] Yumiella**
*It's like an otome game.*
**[09:51] Yumiella**
*I mean, it is an otome game, but...*
**[09:55] Yumiella**
* Does this mean Alicia has*
* started on Edwin's route?*
**[09:59] Edwin**
By the way, Alicia...
**[10:00] Edwin**
Why did you think Yumiella
Dolkness was the Demon Lord?
**[10:04] Edwin**
She isn't the Demon Lord.
My father said as much.
**[10:10] Alicia**
But...
**[10:11] Edwin**
It's true that she uses dark magic,
**[10:14] Edwin**
has black hair, and is level 99.
**[10:18] Edwin**
But it's not right to assume she's
the Demon Lord just because of that.
**[10:25] Edwin**
What... is that?
**[10:28] Alicia**
It's Miss Yumiella.
**[10:31] Alicia**
This is how Miss Yumiella looks to me.
**[10:34] Alicia**
Frightening.
**[10:36] Alicia**
It may have something to
do with my light magic.
**[10:41] Yumiella**
Ah...
**[10:44] Yumiella**
* What does that mean?*
* The compatibility of attributes?*
**[10:47] Edwin**
Yumiella Dolkness is indeed
abnormally strong.
**[10:51] Edwin**
It can't be such an easy
thing to reach level 99.
**[10:54] Edwin**
Even if she's not the Demon Lord,
I won't let my guard down around her.
**[11:00] Edwin**
Although it seems my father wants her to
join the force that battles the Demon Lord.
**[11:05] Alicia**
He does?
**[11:06] Edwin**
I suppose it only makes sense,
given her strength, but...
**[11:11] Edwin**
With your light magic, you're also
a valuable asset to the battle.
**[11:15] Edwin**
In other words, we'll all work together
to face the Demon Lord one day.
**[11:22] Edwin**
Alicia...
**[11:23] Edwin**
I'm sorry for getting you involved in such a
dangerous thing as fighting the Demon Lord.
**[11:28] Alicia**
You didn't! If the world is
in danger, it's my business!
**[11:32] Alicia**
If I can be of use with my magic,
**[11:34] Alicia**
I want to do whatever I can.
**[11:37] Alicia**
So let's do our best together, Ed!
**[11:41] Edwin**
Yeah. Let's defeat the Demon Lord together.
**[11:42] Yumiella**
* In any case, it doesn't seem*
* like Alicia was reincarnated.*
**[11:44] Alicia**
Right!
**[11:51] Yumiella**
Principal, I heard you wanted to see me.
**[11:54] Ronald**
Come in.
**[11:55] Yumiella**
*Someone else's voice?*
**[11:59] Ronald**
Pleased to meet you, Miss Yumiella.
**[12:01] Ronald**
I'm Ronald. I've been appointed
as the new principal.
**[12:06] Yumiella**
I am Yumiella Dolkness.
**[12:08] Yumiella**
Um, where is the former principal?
**[12:11] Ronald**
He resigned.
**[12:13] Ronald**
You needn't worry about it.
**[12:15] Yumiella**
*His smile looks so fake.*
**[12:17] Yumiella**
* Like the very model of a smile*
* meant to put one at ease.*
**[12:22] Ronald**
I've come to the academy
on the king's orders.
**[12:25] Ronald**
I'm also aware of the Demon Lord's
impending return, so you can relax.
**[12:29] Ronald**
Please, sit.
**[12:31] Yumiella**
Yes, sir.
**[12:33] Ronald**
Here you go.
**[12:34] Yumiella**
Thank you.
**[12:36] Yumiella**
* He's been informed about*
* the Demon Lord's return.*
**[12:38] Yumiella**
*That must mean the king trusts him.*
**[12:42] Ronald**
What a troublemaker Prince Edwin is.
**[12:45] Ronald**
To think he spoke of a state
secret in public like that.
**[12:49] Ronald**
I'm sure you had it rough, too.
**[12:51] Yumiella**
* Eh. I've been an object of curiosity*
* ever since the entrance ceremony.*
**[12:56] Ronald**
His Highness wasn't always
the type to behave so rashly,
**[13:00] Ronald**
but recently, he's been... unstable.
**[13:02] Ronald**
Even his two supporters have
been acting the same way.
**[13:07] Yumiella**
Did something happen to the three of them?
**[13:10] Ronald**
You're really asking that?
**[13:12] Yumiella**
*Yeah, of course.*
**[13:14] Ronald**
All three of them had been exceptionally
brilliant since childhood,
**[13:17] Ronald**
but then someone suddenly showed
up and shattered their pride.
**[13:23] Ronald**
I can't blame them for being shaken by that.
**[13:25] Ronald**
As for the matter of the Demon Lord's return,
**[13:28] Ronald**
we will be denying it in an
official address from the kingdom.
**[13:31] Ronald**
But it's practically impossible to
extinguish a rumor once it's spread.
**[13:36] Ronald**
Of course,
**[13:37] Ronald**
the king understands that there's
no way you can be the Demon Lord,
**[13:41] Ronald**
so you can relax.
**[13:43] Yumiella**
How much information does the royal
family have about the Demon Lord?
**[13:48] Ronald**
I don't know that myself.
**[13:51] Yumiella**
*It's no use. I can't tell what he's thinking.*
**[13:56] Yumiella**
*I can't say why, but this guy just irks me.*
**[13:58] Ronald**
Anyway, I didn't just want to say
hello to you. I have a favor to ask.
**[14:02] Yumiella**
A favor? Of me?
**[14:05] Ronald**
Yes. When our field lessons
begin in the near future,
**[14:08] Ronald**
I want you on the administrative side.
**[14:11] Yumiella**
Field lessons?
***SIGN*** The Hidden Boss Attends Field Lessons
**[14:17] Students**
Coming your way!
**[14:18] Students**
I got 'em!
**[14:19] Students**
Surround it!
**[14:19] Students**
No! Stay away!
**[14:29] Yumiella**
* Here, a "field lesson"*
* basically means leveling up.*
**[14:34] Yumiella**
*The academy sends students to hunt monsters,*
**[14:36] Yumiella**
*while keeping their safety in mind.*
**[14:39] Yumiella**
* It's true that there's no need for me*
* to participate, since I'm level 99.*
**[14:44] Yumiella**
* And if I accidentally wiped*
* out all the monsters,*
**[14:47] Yumiella**
*I'd ruin it for all the other students.*
**[14:49] Ronald**
* Field lessons are divided up between*
* central nobles and regional nobles.*
**[14:54] (Flashback) Ronald**
You'll be in charge of the regional nobles.
**[14:57] (Flashback) Yumiella**
That's a very broad method
of dividing them up.
**[14:59] (Flashback) Ronald**
Regional nobles fight
monsters in their domains
**[15:02] (Flashback) Ronald**
more often than city-dwelling central nobles.
**[15:05] (Flashback) Ronald**
That inevitably creates a clear difference
in their motivation to level up.
**[15:09] (Flashback) Ronald**
Separating them is more efficient.
**[15:12] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Will Prince Edwin and his companions attend
the field lesson with the central nobles?
**[15:17] (Flashback) Ronald**
I've arranged a supplementary lesson
for special training for them.
**[15:21] Yumiella**
*Special training?!*
**[15:24] Yumiella**
*I'm dying to know how they get to level up!*
**[15:26] (Flashback) Ronald**
The goal is to get them to level
40 by the time they graduate.
**[15:33] (Flashback) Yumiella**
I'd like it if they could
get closer to level 60.
**[15:37] (Flashback) Ronald**
Captain Adolf is level 60.
**[15:40] (Flashback) Ronald**
They can't get that far in two years.
**[15:42] Yumiella**
*I think it's plenty possible, myself...*
**[15:45] Magic Teacher**
Okay, time for a break.
**[15:48] Magic Teacher**
Those of you who are out of magic or injured,
**[15:51] Magic Teacher**
don't forget to replenish with potions!
**[15:52] Yumiella**
*What a peaceful field lesson this is.*
**[15:55] Yumiella**
*There are too few.*
**[15:55] Becky**
Here's a potion.
**[15:56] Yumiella**
* And they're throwing way too much*
* power at some low-level monsters.*
**[15:57] Cede**
Oh, thanks.
**[15:58] Miles**
How many did you kill?
**[16:00] Diva**
Two, I think.
**[16:00] Yumiella**
*It's obviously overkill.*
**[16:02] Students**
I couldn't even kill one.
**[16:02] Yumiella**
*And with the teachers' protection, too.*
**[16:03] Students**
I need to work on my bow skills.
**[16:04] Students**
Real monsters do have a lot more impact.
**[16:06] Yumiella**
* I know they can't afford to endanger*
* the son of royalty, but this...*
**[16:11] Yumiella/Ronald**
Too inefficient.
**[16:15] Yumiella**
*The guy who saw me with the cat...*
**[16:17] Yumiella**
Um...
**[16:19] Patrick**
I'm Patrick Ashbatten.
**[16:20] Yumiella**
You also think this is inefficient?
**[16:24] Yumiella**
I think they could handle a
larger number of monsters.
**[16:27] Patrick**
Yeah.
**[16:28] Patrick**
If they split into a vanguard and
rear guard and work together,
**[16:31] Patrick**
it's more than possible.
**[16:33] Yumiella**
* I haven't spoken with a*
* classmate like this in ages.*
**[16:36] Yumiella**
Do they split into vanguard and rear guard
to level up in the Ashbattens' domain?
**[16:40] Patrick**
Yeah. The vanguard holds
the monsters in place,
**[16:43] Patrick**
and the rear guard attacks
them. That's basic.
**[16:46] Yumiella**
Doesn't that result in
**[16:48] Yumiella**
differing amounts of experience
for the vanguard and rear guard?
**[16:51] Patrick**
We reverse it, too.
**[16:52] Patrick**
The rear guard uses magic to
stop the monsters' movements,
**[16:55] Patrick**
while the vanguard attacks.
**[16:57] Patrick**
It does bring down the balance, though.
**[16:59] Yumiella**
* I guess working as one group*
* does reduce efficiency.*
**[17:02] Yumiella**
*Meaning...*
**[17:04] Yumiella**
*My idea of how to level up wasn't wrong!*
**[17:07] Yumiella**
Could we use that method here, right now?
**[17:11] Patrick**
I think we have enough people,
**[17:14] Patrick**
but with so few monsters, I
don't think it would matter.
**[17:17] Yumiella**
I have something useful.
**[17:20] Patrick**
A Monster-Calling Flute?!
**[17:21] Patrick**
Wait, don't!
**[17:25] Students**
What?
**[17:25] Magic Teacher**
Miss Yumiella! What are you—
**[17:32] Students**
Wh-What?
**[17:33] Students**
What is that?
**[17:33] Patrick**
Everyone with a shield
and spear to the front!
**[17:35] Students**
G-Got it!
**[17:36] Students**
Hurry!
**[17:39] Patrick**
Vanguard, focus on stopping the monsters!
**[17:41] Patrick**
Rear guard, use ranged magic attacks!
**[17:44] Patrick**
If you run out of magic, attack
whatever's left with weapons!
**[17:47] Boy Student**
Got it!
**[17:48] Patrick**
If you get hurt, fall back
and heal with a potion!
**[17:51] Girl Student**
Right!
**[17:59] Patrick**
Attack!
**[18:07] Patrick**
Follow up the attack!
**[18:22] Pardont**
You all right?!
**[18:23] Ian**
Yeah...
**[18:23] Patrick**
Vanguard, regroup right away!
**[18:25] Boy Students**
Right!
**[18:26] Patrick**
Don't panic! Finish them all!
**[18:37] Yumiella**
Wow...
**[18:45] Patrick**
Yumiella! How could you
do that without warning?!
**[18:49] Yumiella**
*Why is he so angry?*
**[18:52] Yumiella**
*Oh, I know.*
**[18:54] Yumiella**
*Because the rear guard exhausted themselves*
**[18:56] Yumiella**
* to the point that the*
* vanguard couldn't level up.*
**[18:59] Yumiella**
There's no need to worry.
**[19:02] Yumiella**
I know some of them have
exhausted their magic,
**[19:05] Yumiella**
so I'll hold the monsters in place next time.
**[19:07] Patrick**
Huh? Next time?
**[19:09] Patrick**
No!
**[19:12] Beth**
Not again!
**[19:13] David**
We're really gonna die this time!
**[19:15] Yumiella**
I'll stop the monsters' movements.
**[19:18] Yumiella**
Those of you in the vanguard
**[19:20] Yumiella**
can take your time killing them.
**[19:25] Yumiella**
Dark Bind.
**[19:34] Yumiella**
Go ahead and attack them.
**[19:36] Ian**
Um, was that...
**[19:39] Yumiella**
It was my magic.
**[19:41] Yumiella**
It's called Dark Bind. It renders
the target unable to move.
**[19:45] Ian**
And we won't get attacked?
**[19:47] Yumiella**
You'll be fine. The monsters
are firmly restrained.
**[19:51] Ian**
Uh, I don't mean by the monsters...
**[19:59] Patrick**
There's no problem. This method is safe.
**[20:01] Students**
Seems like it's okay... maybe?
**[20:04] David**
Well, in that case...
**[20:05] Silk**
Yeah...
**[20:06] Yumiella**
*Was he talking about my magic?*
**[20:09] Yumiella**
*Is it that scary?*
**[20:12] Yumiella**
Your leadership was brilliant.
**[20:15] Patrick**
I am the son of a margrave, after all.
**[20:18] Patrick**
I was involved in some
combat before I enrolled...
**[20:24] Patrick**
I guess you meant no harm.
**[20:25] Yumiella**
What are you talking about?
**[20:27] Patrick**
Nothing.
**[20:37] Yumiella**
I'll heal you.
**[20:38] Patrick**
Huh?
**[20:41] Yumiella**
Dark magic also has healing
and recovery spells.
**[20:44] Yumiella**
There's one downside, however.
**[20:48] Yumiella**
It's super grotesque.
**[20:50] Patrick**
Yikes...
**[20:55] Yumiella**
You should be all right now.
Do you feel any pain?
**[21:01] Patrick**
No. I'm fine. Thanks.
**[21:05] Yumiella**
*Oh, good.*
**[21:06] Yumiella**
* I didn't know what I'd do if it had side*
* effects on people of other attributes.*
**[21:11] Yumiella**
Why did you jump in front of me?
**[21:13] Patrick**
Sorry. I thought you were in danger.
**[21:16] Yumiella**
*In danger? At level 99?*
**[21:20] Patrick**
You need to take better care of yourself.
**[21:23] Patrick**
It'll be too late once something happens.
**[21:26] Yumiella**
* Did he really just try to protect*
* me because he was worried about me?*
**[21:34] Yumiella**
Th-Thank you.
**[21:37] Yumiella**
* This has never happened before.*
* I feel kind of embarrassed.*
**[21:41] Patrick**
Yumiella...
**[21:42] Patrick**
Next time you're going to use the
Monster-Calling Flute, say so first.
**[21:47] Yumiella**
All right.
**[21:48] Yumiella**
In that case, I'm going to use it again now.
**[21:50] Patrick**
Huh? Wait, Yumiella!
**[21:53] Cede**
You're kidding!
**[21:54] Eren**
No more!
**[21:56] Magic Teacher**
Miss Yumiella!
**[21:57] Yumiella**
Dark Bind.
**[22:02] Yumiella**
Dark Bind.
**[22:03] Students**
Again?!
**[22:06] Patrick**
Stop it!

**[00:01] Yumiella**
*The day after our field lesson,*
**[00:03] Yumiella**
* the principal gave me a warning for*
* using the Monster-Calling Flute.*
**[00:09] Ronald**
Really? I didn't know the dark
attribute also had healing magic.
**[00:14] Yumiella**
Yes. It can regrow an arm, at least.
**[00:18] Ronald**
Regrow an arm? Are you...
speaking from experience?
**[00:23] Yumiella**
Yes.
**[00:25] Yumiella**
When I was a child, my arm
was sliced off, right here.
**[00:28] Ronald**
Ah...
**[00:30] Yumiella**
*That sure was a close call.*
**[00:33] Yumiella**
*If that slice had been off by just a hair,*
**[00:34] Yumiella**
*it might've been my head that got severed.*
**[00:37] Yumiella**
*And no healing magic can regrow a head...*
**[00:43] Yumiella**
*Can it?*
**[00:45] Yumiella**
Anyway, enough of my childhood stories.
**[00:49] Yumiella**
How did the central nobles' lesson go?
**[00:52] Ronald**
Prince Edwin and his friends
are leveling up well, I think.
**[00:58] Ronald**
The reports told me that William
charged in as the vanguard,
**[01:02] Ronald**
while His Highness and Oswald
took out any monsters he missed.
**[01:07] Ronald**
The only problem is that they killed
all the monsters themselves.
**[01:11] Ronald**
The other students can't
gain any levels that way.
**[01:15] Ronald**
All they do is lavish the
three of them with praise.
**[01:19] Yumiella**
What about Miss Alicia?
**[01:21] Ronald**
Same as the other students.
She didn't kill a single monster.
**[01:26] Yumiella**
Did she seem like she wanted to do more?
**[01:29] Ronald**
The written report doesn't tell me that.
**[01:32] Ronald**
Even if she wanted to do more,
**[01:34] Ronald**
I suppose there was just nothing
she could do this time.
**[01:38] Ronald**
Those three boys probably wanted to
show off for the girl they like, too.
**[01:42] Yumiella**
*Ah...*
**[01:45] Ronald**
Since Miss Alicia can use light magic,
we need her to grow stronger.
**[01:51] Ronald**
I may end up asking for
your help on that front.
**[01:54] Yumiella**
I understand. You can count on me.
**[01:58] Yumiella**
* When he asks, I'll take her*
* to a dark-type dungeon.*
**[02:02] Yumiella**
* Alicia will have an advantage*
* against all the monsters there.*
**[02:05] Yumiella**
*She'll be thrilled!*
**[02:10] Alicia**
No!
**[02:14] Ronald**
On another subject...
**[02:16] Ronald**
We've received a request from the
castle's magic tool development team
**[02:19] Ronald**
to test the endurance of some magic tools.
**[02:21] Yumiella**
I'll do it.
**[02:23] Yumiella**
* Magic tools are items that*
* have been imbued with magic.*
**[02:28] Yumiella**
*Aside from things like armor and weapons,*
**[02:30] Yumiella**
* they also include my favorite items, the*
* Amulet of Growth and Monster-Calling Flute.*
**[02:36] Ronald**
This is what they want us to test.
**[02:39] Ronald**
They want to use it to make armor.
**[02:41] Ronald**
It's passed Knight Captain
Adolf's endurance test,
**[02:44] Ronald**
but they want to know how
it fares against stronger—
**[02:47] Yumiella**
Uh.
**[02:56] Ronald**
Can you describe how much strength that took?
**[02:58] Yumiella**
I'll be more careful to take
note of that next time.
**[03:03] Yumiella**
* This might be good practice for*
* controlling how much strength I use.*
**[03:07] Ronald**
I can't even budge it.

**[04:52] Patrick**
Yumiella!
**[04:54] Yumiella**
Master Patrick.
**[04:56] Patrick**
Did the principal want to see you
about yesterday's field lesson?
**[05:01] Yumiella**
Yes. He scolded me for using
the Monster-Calling Flute.
**[05:05] Patrick**
Well, that's to be expected.
**[05:07] Beth**
Patrick!
**[05:09] Beth**
Can you come to the classroom for a minute?
**[05:11] Beth**
Everyone wants you to take command
during the next field lesson.
**[05:15] Patrick**
Sure.
**[05:16] Patrick**
Well, see you later.
**[05:20] Yumiella**
*They really trust him.*
**[05:24] Yumiella**
* My life of solitude has changed a*
* bit since the field lesson ended.*
**[05:30] Yumiella**
* Patrick comes by to talk*
* to me every now and then.*
**[05:34] Sword Teacher**
Now, we're going to do
some practical exercises.
**[05:36] Sword Teacher**
Everyone, pair up.
**[05:44] Patrick**
Yumiella.
**[05:47] Patrick**
If you don't have anyone to
pair up with, how about me?
**[05:50] Yumiella**
Are you sure?
**[05:52] Patrick**
What do you mean?
**[05:55] Yumiella**
You must have plenty of friends
who want to pair up with you.
**[05:59] Patrick**
Don't worry about them.
I owe you one, remember?
**[06:02] Yumiella**
You mean because I healed you?
**[06:05] Yumiella**
Please, don't worry about that.
**[06:07] Yumiella**
If I hadn't been there, you could
have used a potion to heal yourself.
**[06:11] Patrick**
Really? I guess I'll pair
up with someone else, then.
**[06:14] Yumiella**
Uh, actually, please do worry about it.
**[06:17] Yumiella**
I'm the one who healed your injury.
**[06:21] Patrick**
You're also the one who caused it, you know.
**[06:27] Yumiella**
* He might be the closest thing to a friend*
* I've found since I reincarnated here.*
**[06:34] Yumiella**
* It must be his natural virtue that made*
* everyone else follow his orders, too.*
**[06:39] Yumiella**
* That and, for some reason, his*
* voice seems to carry really well.*
**[06:45] Patrick**
Let's do this!
**[06:48] Yumiella**
*Patrick's swordsmanship is beautiful.*
**[06:50] Yumiella**
* Nothing like me and my reliance*
* on sheer power and reflexes.*
**[07:01] Beth**
Patrick!
**[07:05] Patrick**
Ow...
**[07:07] Yumiella**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[07:09] Yumiella**
I'll heal you right now.
**[07:17] Patrick**
Th-Thanks. I'm okay.
**[07:22] Yumiella**
I'm sorry. Thank you for pairing up with me.
**[07:26] Patrick**
Nah, I should apologize to you.
**[07:29] Patrick**
Maybe I'm not a worthy partner for you.
**[07:32] Yumiella**
No, I don't think that's true.
**[07:34] Yumiella**
I could learn a great deal
from your sword skills.
**[07:37] Patrick**
You want to get even stronger
by learning how to use a sword?
**[07:42] Patrick**
Just what are you thinking about fighting?
**[07:44] Yumiella**
Um... the Demon Lord, I suppose?
**[07:48] Patrick**
The Demon Lord?
**[07:50] Patrick**
So the rumors about him coming
back in two years are true?
**[07:53] Patrick**
Did you hear something
about it from the king?
**[07:55] Yumiella**
No, nothing.
**[07:57] Yumiella**
*I lied. Yes, I have heard about it.*
**[07:59] Yumiella**
Either Prince Edwin was just making things up
**[08:03] Yumiella**
or the king is hiding something, I suppose.
**[08:06] Patrick**
I could easily believe either of those.
**[08:09] Yumiella**
* There have been so many unsavory*
* rumors about Prince Edwin lately*
**[08:12] Yumiella**
* that if I said his claims about*
* the Demon Lord's return weren't true,*
**[08:14] Yumiella**
*it would be difficult to prove I was lying.*
**[08:18] Yumiella**
* And since he's been flirting*
* with Alicia all over the place,*
**[08:21] Yumiella**
*his popularity's dropping.*
**[08:23] Yumiella**
* Many are already saying his*
* claims about the Demon Lord*
**[08:26] Yumiella**
*are a nasty joke or just made up.*
**[08:29] Yumiella**
* On the other hand, the rumor that I'm*
* the Demon Lord hasn't died out, either.*
**[08:34] Yumiella**
* It may have even been revived after*
* what happened during the field lesson.*
**[08:38] Yumiella**
You don't think I'm the
Demon Lord, Master Patrick?
**[08:42] Patrick**
If you were the Demon Lord, the world
would've been wiped out by now.
**[08:47] Yumiella**
*True.*
**[08:48] Patrick**
Of course, I'm just joking,
**[08:51] Patrick**
but it bugs me that your black hair is
one of the reasons people believe it.
**[08:57] Patrick**
When I was little,
**[08:59] Patrick**
my hair was almost black,
and it always bothered me.
**[09:02] Patrick**
It started when a relative
said my hair looked blackish.
**[09:06] Patrick**
My family said I didn't
need to worry about it,
**[09:09] Patrick**
but I hated my hair after that.
**[09:13] Yumiella**
I think it looks whitish, personally.
**[09:16] Patrick**
Whitish?
**[09:18] Patrick**
Compared to yours, yeah, I guess it would.
**[09:22] Patrick**
But that's why I admire the way you
wear your black hair so confidently.
**[09:28] Patrick**
I promise I'll never look down on you or
dislike you because of your hair color.
**[09:34] Yumiella**
Th-Thank you.
**[09:38] Yumiella**
I think your gray hair is quite lovely.
**[09:42] Patrick**
Thanks.
**[09:43] Patrick**
I think your black hair's pretty, too.
**[09:49] Yumiella**
Um, shall we have another match?
**[09:52] Patrick**
Sure, I'd love to.
**[09:55] Patrick**
Let's do this!
**[10:04] Yumiella**
I'm sorry!
**[10:05] Yumiella**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[10:12] Patrick**
I'm fine. It doesn't hurt anymore.
**[10:16] Patrick**
I realized it before, but... your
healing magic feels pretty nice.
**[10:19] Yumiella**
It looks disgusting, though.
**[10:23] Patrick**
You're amazing, Yumiella. You use
dark magic with such confidence.
**[10:27] Yumiella**
I just got lucky.
**[10:29] Yumiella**
Magic affinity is just
something we're born with.
**[10:33] Patrick**
It's not just that.
**[10:35] Patrick**
Even if I could use dark magic,
**[10:37] Patrick**
I'd probably just try to keep it hidden.
**[10:41] Patrick**
Just like with your hair,
you don't deny who you are.
**[10:46] Patrick**
I think that's something not
many people can pull off.
**[10:50] Yumiella**
Thank you...
**[10:58] Yumiella**
* Looking back now, I never*
* gave much thought to Yumiella*
**[11:02] Yumiella**
*as a character in the game.*
**[11:05] (Flashback) Patrick**
Even if I could use dark magic,
**[11:08] (Flashback) Patrick**
I'd probably just try to keep it hidden.
**[11:12] Yumiella**
* Was the Yumiella in the game*
* born with her dark magic, too?*
***SIGN*** Yumiella
***SIGN*** (I've fallen to the darkness...)
**[11:19] Yumiella**
* The game's explanation was that*
* Yumiella obtained her dark magic*
**[11:23] Yumiella**
*because she gave in to the darkness,*
***SIGN*** Yumiella
***SIGN*** (It seemed as though that deep darkness was
calling to me.)
**[11:26] Yumiella**
* but none of the story scenes*
* were clear about it.*
**[11:30] Yumiella**
*Maybe the truth is actually different.*
***SIGN*** Yumiella
***SIGN*** Dark magic? What are you talking about?
**[11:33] Yumiella**
*It's just a theory,*
**[11:34] Yumiella**
* but what if the game's Yumiella*
* could use dark magic all along,*
**[11:38] Yumiella**
*and she just kept it hidden from everyone?*
***SIGN*** Edwin
***SIGN*** Alicia, that light magic you used was amazing!
**[11:42] Yumiella**
*She must have really hated the heroine,*
**[11:44] Yumiella**
*who used light magic with total confidence*
**[11:47] Yumiella**
*and was loved by everyone.*
**[11:50] Yumiella**
* I guess there's no point*
* in thinking about it.*
**[11:53] Yumiella**
* This world is just this*
* world. It's not the game.*
**[12:01] Yumiella**
*A few days later,*
**[12:03] Yumiella**
*we had our second field lesson.*
**[12:10] Patrick**
I'm sure you know this by now,
**[12:11] Patrick**
but don't you dare use your
Monster-Calling Flute again.
**[12:15] Yumiella**
I won't. The principal
yelled at me about it, too.
**[12:19] Patrick**
And no burning down the forest
just because you're bored, either.
**[12:23] Yumiella**
I know.
**[12:24] Yumiella**
Today, I'm the battlefield medic.
**[12:28] Patrick**
It's a lesson, not a war...
**[12:36] Magic Teacher**
The monsters you face today are of
a different type than the last ones.
**[12:39] Magic Teacher**
Be careful not to let your
guard down at any time.
**[12:44] Yumiella**
So bored...
**[12:46] Yumiella**
Dark Bind.
**[12:49] Yumiella**
Rock, paper, scissors.
**[12:51] Yumiella**
Rock, paper, scissors.
**[12:55] Yumiella**
*I'm a supervisor... a supervisor...*
**[13:00] Yumiella**
* It looks like they're steadily*
* getting good results,*
**[13:04] Yumiella**
* but the atmosphere feels much*
* more lax than last time.*
**[13:07] Yumiella**
* Times like these are when*
* the danger is greatest.*
**[13:11] Yumiella**
Yes, I'm coming to heal you.
**[13:13] Magic Teacher**
You don't need to do that, Miss Yumiella...
**[13:16] Yumiella**
Well, I had nothing else to do.
**[13:19] Yumiella**
Would you like a potion or healing magic?
**[13:22] Miles/Diva/Cede**
Potion, please!
**[13:25] Yumiella**
But if I heal you with magic, there's
no need to waste potions, is there?
**[13:30] Miles**
Why even ask us, then?
**[13:32] Yumiella**
I'll heal you.
**[13:39] Yumiella**
Everything's fine. You're as good as new.
**[13:45] Yumiella**
* Funny... Healers are*
* usually pretty popular...*
**[13:50] Magic Teacher**
Okay, we're going to take a break for a bit.
**[13:55] Yumiella**
* This lax attitude they all*
* have is definitely a problem.*
**[13:58] Yumiella**
*When you're trying to raise your level,*
**[14:01] Yumiella**
* you need to be right on*
* the brink at all times.*
**[14:04] Yumiella**
*Which means...*
**[14:07] Patrick**
I told you not to use this.
**[14:09] Patrick**
You shouldn't have even brought
it. It's too dangerous.
**[14:13] Yumiella**
The current scenario is more dangerous.
**[14:15] Yumiella**
Isn't it important to feel
some degree of urgency?
**[14:18] Yumiella**
And I believe all of these students
are skilled enough to handle it.
**[14:22] Yumiella**
The difficulty of the lesson should be
raised in proportion to their levels.
**[14:26] Patrick**
You have a point, but...
**[14:28] Yumiella**
We could even send each one of
them into their own dungeon.
**[14:31] Patrick**
That's the one thing we can't do!
**[14:34] Patrick**
You'd have to be crazy to
go into a dungeon alone!
**[14:37] Yumiella**
Are you denying my entire past?
**[14:39] Patrick**
Uh, no, I didn't mean to...
**[14:42] Yumiella**
The method we're using now
is too inefficient, anyway.
**[14:45] Yumiella**
Making people kill low-level
monsters in groups is wasteful.
**[14:50] Yumiella**
Couldn't they face monsters
of a slightly higher level?
**[14:53] Yumiella**
Even you said the lesson was
too inefficient last time.
**[14:57] Patrick**
Yeah, but...
**[14:59] Yumiella**
Even if I don't use the flute,
**[15:01] Yumiella**
I'd be fine with it if everyone
would just take this more seriously.
**[15:06] Yumiella**
I know!
**[15:07] Yumiella**
A different method would be fine, right?
**[15:09] Yumiella**
What if I injured everyone with
my magic and then healed them?
**[15:14] Yumiella**
Knowing how much an injury hurts
should tighten their focus more.
**[15:20] Yumiella**
Oh, don't worry. I'm pretty sure I
can hurt them without killing them.
**[15:24] Patrick**
Do you hear yourself?!
**[15:26] Yumiella**
The flute or an injury? Choose one.
**[15:29] Students**
Flute, please...
**[15:30] Yumiella**
That settles it. It's okay, right, Patrick?
**[15:40] Patrick**
Assume formation! Prepare to engage!
**[15:43] Yumiella**
*Oh, shoot. I forgot to be polite.*
**[15:47] Yumiella**
*And I just called him "Patrick"...*
**[15:51] Patrick**
Don't break formation! Stay calm!
**[15:54] Yumiella**
* I always get a little overzealous*
* when it comes to leveling up.*
**[15:58] Yumiella**
*I'm a count's daughter,*
**[16:00] Yumiella**
*and Patrick is a margrave's son.*
**[16:03] Yumiella**
*He ranks higher than me, and I...*
**[16:06] Yumiella**
*If I draw the ire of the Ashbatten family,*
**[16:09] Yumiella**
* the entire Dolkness family's*
* reputation as nobility will drop.*
**[16:13] Yumiella**
* I guess that's no problem.*
* My family's problematic as it is.*
**[16:18] Yumiella**
*But...*
**[16:19] Yumiella**
* The idea of Patrick hating me...*
* might make me a little sad...*
**[16:26] Patrick**
Maintain formation!
**[16:28] Patrick**
Just do this the way you've
practiced, and you can win!
**[16:32] Yumiella**
* Is he using wind magic*
* to make his voice carry?*
**[16:36] Patrick**
Now! Rear guard, attack with magic!
**[16:42] Yumiella**
* So it's magic that makes his*
* voice resonate like that.*
**[16:47] Yumiella**
* And he's using earth magic to keep*
* his feet planted at the same time.*
**[16:51] Yumiella**
*That's something I could never do myself.*
**[16:54] Yumiella**
* Patrick might be a genius when*
* it comes to group combat.*
**[16:58] Yumiella**
*How should I interact with him after this?*
**[17:06] Patrick**
Looks like things have calmed down.
**[17:08] Yumiella**
Good work.
**[17:10] Beth**
Patrick! Thanks so much!
**[17:12] Alice**
You were so dashing, Master Ashbatten!
**[17:13] Becky**
You saved us again!
**[17:24] Yumiella**
* I returned to the academy without exchanging*
* any further words with Patrick.*
**[17:30] Yumiella**
* Even if he does end up hating*
* me and stops talking to me,*
**[17:35] Yumiella**
* if I just think of it as going back to*
* how things where when school started,*
**[17:39] Yumiella**
* it's nothing I need to*
* stress over too much...*
**[17:42] Yumiella**
*Or it shouldn't be...*
**[17:43] Alicia**
Miss Yumiella!
**[17:47] Yumiella**
Yes? What is it, Miss Alicia?
**[17:50] Alicia**
Um...
**[17:53] Alicia**
I'm sorry for just assuming you
were the Demon Lord the other day.
**[17:59] Alicia**
I know I caused trouble for you
by carelessly blurting that out.
**[18:04] Yumiella**
* Just standing in front of me*
* now must be terrifying for her.*
**[18:08] Yumiella**
*Yet she still came to apologize...*
**[18:11] Yumiella**
*She really is a nice girl.*
**[18:14] Edwin**
Stay away from Alicia!
**[18:17] Edwin**
I heard what you did during the field lesson.
**[18:21] Edwin**
You used a Monster-Calling Flute
**[18:23] Edwin**
to force the students to fight
a whole horde of monsters.
**[18:27] Edwin**
Were you trying to kill someone
and make it look like an accident?
**[18:30] Alicia**
H-Huh?!
**[18:32] Yumiella**
* Sounds like he heard an exaggerated*
* version of the story.*
**[18:35] Edwin**
Or was it a plot to injure students
and then heal them, as if it were a favor,
**[18:40] Edwin**
to make yourself more popular?
**[18:43] Edwin**
You might not be the Demon Lord,
**[18:46] Edwin**
but you're still a danger
to the Kingdom of Valschein.
**[18:50] Edwin**
Don't forget that I'll have my eye on
you as long as you're at this academy.
**[18:50] Yumiella**
* I suppose I really am a maverick in*
* this academy... no, in this world.*
**[18:55] Edwin**
If you endanger the students again...
**[18:57] Yumiella**
* Is it even necessary to go*
* through all this to stay here?*
**[19:00] Yumiella**
*I don't even have any friends.*
**[19:03] Yumiella**
*But even if I run away from this academy,*
**[19:07] Yumiella**
* is there a place for me*
* anywhere else in this world?*
**[19:12] Patrick**
Please wait a moment, Your Highness!
**[19:17] Edwin**
Patrick Ashbatten?
**[19:20] Patrick**
It's true that Yumiella used
a Monster-Calling Flute.
**[19:23] Patrick**
But she did it to make the students
take the lesson seriously.
**[19:27] Patrick**
She wasn't in the wrong...
Well, maybe she was, but...
**[19:32] Yumiella**
*Truth.*
**[19:33] Patrick**
But her methods are relatively
popular among the regional nobles!
**[19:40] Patrick**
Her method truly is the most
efficient for leveling up.
**[19:43] Patrick**
And she didn't violate any
school rules or kingdom laws.
**[19:47] Patrick**
I would like you to stay out of this matter.
**[19:58] Edwin**
I'll back down for now.
**[20:00] Edwin**
Let's go, Alicia.
**[20:10] Yumiella**
*Something tells me he's furious.*
**[20:15] Patrick**
That must've been really rough for you.
**[20:17] Yumiella**
Huh? Uh... Th-Thank you...
**[20:20] Yumiella**
Um, are you sure it was wise
to say that to the prince?
**[20:24] Patrick**
Well, I'm still the son of a margrave.
**[20:27] Patrick**
Being detested by the second
prince is nothing to me.
**[20:31] Yumiella**
Also... are you angry?
**[20:34] Patrick**
I'm not so much angry as exasperated.
**[20:37] Patrick**
Maybe he just lacks awareness
of his own royal standing.
**[20:41] Yumiella**
*Uh, I wasn't talking about Edwin.*
**[20:44] Yumiella**
Um... I'm sorry.
**[20:46] Yumiella**
I know I got a bit excited, but I spoke
too casually to you during the lesson.
**[20:51] Patrick**
Huh? That's what you were worried about?
**[20:54] Patrick**
It's not like I'm some
big-headed central noble.
**[20:56] Patrick**
It doesn't bother me. Talk to me
however you feel the most comfortable.
**[21:00] Yumiella**
*That's it?*
**[21:02] Yumiella**
* But the hierarchy is supposed to*
* be very important in noble society.*
**[21:06] Yumiella**
* Is it really all right to*
* just wrap it up like that?*
**[21:09] Patrick**
I don't care much for formalities.
**[21:12] Patrick**
There are way too many other things
you should be more worried about.
**[21:16] Yumiella**
*I do agree there.*
**[21:18] Yumiella**
Oh, right. Did you want
to see me for something?
**[21:21] Patrick**
Yeah. You seemed a bit down after
the field lesson, so I was worried.
**[21:27] Patrick**
Did something happen?
**[21:29] Yumiella**
I was just having a little
bit of depression time.
**[21:32] Yumiella**
I'm fine now.
**[21:33] Patrick**
Okay, then. Glad to hear it.
**[21:37] Patrick**
Ready to go back to class?
**[21:39] Yumiella**
Master Patrick...
**[21:41] Patrick**
Just "Patrick" is fine.
**[21:43] Yumiella**
Patrick...
**[21:46] Yumiella**
Thanks.
**[21:50] Patrick**
It's unusual to see you smile like that.
**[21:53] Yumiella**
Was I smiling?
**[21:57] Patrick**
Let's go.
**[21:58] Yumiella**
Sure.
**[21:59] Yumiella**
* I think I'd like to be*
* friends with him, if I can.*
**[22:04] Yumiella**
*But I'm sure that'd be asking too much.*

**[00:05] Yumiella**
*The summer recess.*
**[00:07] Yumiella**
*Also known as summer break.*
**[00:10] Yumiella**
* Most students return to*
* their family homes,*
**[00:12] Yumiella**
*but there are a few who stay at school.*
**[00:15] Yumiella**
*Patrick and I are among those who remain.*
**[00:18] Patrick**
The tip of your sword is drifting again!
**[00:28] Yumiella**
Sorry! I used too much strength.
**[00:35] Patrick**
It's okay. I'm used to it by now.
**[00:39] Yumiella**
Sorry to have you spar with me
every day, even over break.
**[00:43] Patrick**
I'm the one who asked you to do it.
**[00:45] Patrick**
I don't want you sending me
airborne during class again.
**[00:48] Yumiella**
I've been practicing
controlling my strength.
**[00:51] Yumiella**
Using this magic slab meant
for people at level 60.
**[00:54] Patrick**
What is that?
**[00:56] Yumiella**
I'm practicing using just enough
force on this without bending it.
**[01:00] Yumiella**
Oh...
**[01:04] Yumiella**
*It still goes wrong sometimes.*
**[01:07] Patrick**
Is it that brittle?
**[01:09] Yumiella**
* It was going so well during*
* my solo practice sessions...*
***SIGN*** Villainess Level 99
***SIGN*** I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord
**[02:45] Yumiella**
* Afternoons are for studying*
* on our own in the classroom.*
**[02:47] Yumiella**
* There's nothing to do back*
* at the dorms, anyway.*
**[02:50] Yumiella**
*And besides, lately...*
**[02:51] Alice**
M-Miss Yumiella...
**[02:54] Yumiella**
Yes?
**[02:54] Alice**
There's a part of this assignment
that we don't understand.
**[02:57] Becky**
Would you mind giving us some advice?
**[02:59] Yumiella**
Of course. Which part is it?
**[03:01] Alice/Becky**
Thank you!
**[03:04] Yumiella**
* People have been approaching me*
* more frequently, just like this.*
**[03:08] Alice**
So, um, you and Master Patrick...
**[03:10] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[03:11] Becky**
What is it you two are
always doing together?
**[03:14] Yumiella**
Training to level up.
**[03:16] Alice/Becky**
Huh?
**[03:18] Yumiella**
Could it be that you two are
interested in leveling up, as well?
**[03:23] Yumiella**
Just ask me at any time.
**[03:25] Yumiella**
I can recommend dungeons for you,
**[03:27] Yumiella**
and I can even help by using
the Monster-Calling Flute.
**[03:30] Alice**
Oh, no, um...
**[03:33] Patrick**
Why do you always jump straight to that?
**[03:35] Patrick**
You're scaring them!
**[03:37] Yumiella**
I was only talking about leveling up.
**[03:39] Patrick**
Watch how people are reacting
to you before you say that!
**[03:42] Yumiella**
*How they're reacting, huh?*
**[03:45] Students**
Master Patrick and Miss Yumiella are like...
**[03:47] Students**
A beast tamer and a wild beast.
**[03:49] Students**
I can see it!
**[03:50] Yumiella**
*I can hear you.*
**[03:52] Students**
But don't they look a
bit like siblings, too?
**[03:54] Students**
I can see it!
**[03:56] Yumiella**
* I don't think he and I*
* are quite that close...*
**[04:04] Yumiella**
*There's something I've realized recently.*
**[04:06] Yumiella**
*Is it possible that my knowledge...*
**[04:08] Yumiella**
*is too biased toward magic?*
**[04:11] Yumiella**
* Watching Patrick made me*
* realize the importance*
**[04:15] Yumiella**
* of the techniques involved in combat,*
* as well as strategy and leadership.*
**[04:18] Yumiella**
* What I need in order to*
* become even stronger is...*
**[04:21] Yumiella**
*Yes! Combat techniques!*
**[04:24] Yumiella**
* Maybe I should just read every*
* military-related book I see.*
**[04:30] Yumiella**
*Alicia?!*
**[04:32] Yumiella**
*Is she alone?*
**[04:34] Yumiella**
* Her usual trio is back*
* home with their families,*
**[04:36] Yumiella**
* so I guess she's the one*
* who's all alone now.*
**[04:42] Alicia**
Miss Yumiella.
**[04:43] Yumiella**
What is it, Miss Alicia?
**[04:46] Alicia**
I have a favor to ask.
**[04:47] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[04:48] Alicia**
Would you please teach me how to use magic?
**[04:54] Yumiella**
I see. So you don't understand
light magic all that well.
**[04:58] Alicia**
Right.
**[04:59] Alicia**
Since light magic is such a rare attribute,
**[05:02] Alicia**
even the teachers seem to be
unsure how to teach me about it.
**[05:06] Alicia**
There aren't many books about
it at the castle, either.
**[05:09] Alicia**
I've been trying to find
something here, but...
**[05:13] Yumiella**
If the castle doesn't have any, the
school library isn't likely to, either.
**[05:17] Alicia**
I've heard that your dark magic is
just as uncommon as light magic.
**[05:23] Alicia**
I was hoping there might be
something you could teach me.
**[05:28] Yumiella**
All right. If there's anything I
can help with, I'd be glad to.
**[05:32] Alicia**
Thank you so much!
**[05:34] Yumiella**
*That heroine smile!*
**[05:36] Alicia**
Let's get right to it!
***SIGN*** Diligent
**[05:37] Alicia**
How did you learn about your dark magic?
**[05:41] Yumiella**
*I can't tell her I saw it in the game.*
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** Monsters, rest in peace within this light!
**[05:44] Yumiella**
* Naturally, I know about light*
* magic because I played the game.*
**[05:49] Yumiella**
* But it wouldn't make sense for me to*
* know things there are no books about.*
**[05:54] Yumiella**
*How do I explain it?*
**[05:57] Yumiella**
For starters, why don't you try
envisioning a finishing move?
**[06:00] Yumiella**
Something like this.
**[06:02] Alicia**
Finishing...?
**[06:04] Yumiella**
* Oh, I guess she doesn't*
* have a finishing move.*
**[06:06] Yumiella**
Well, then, do you have any strong
memories that involve light?
**[06:12] Alicia**
Memories, huh?
**[06:14] Yumiella**
Yes. Maybe you could recall them
when you want to use light magic.
**[06:19] Alicia**
Light...
**[06:20] Alicia**
It reminds me of seeing the starry sky
with my grandma back in the country.
**[06:25] Yumiella**
Stars... I see.
**[06:27] Alicia**
The place where I lived was very rural.
**[06:29] Alicia**
It didn't have tall buildings or anything.
**[06:33] Alicia**
But because of that, the whole sky was
filled with stars, and it was so beautiful.
**[06:42] Alicia**
When I think about those days,
**[06:44] Alicia**
the thought that I'm here at this
academy now seems like a dream.
**[06:49] Alicia**
Thanks, Miss Yumiella!
**[06:51] Alicia**
I think this has helped
me figure something out.
**[06:55] Alicia**
I hope you'll let me come to you
for advice again if I need it!
**[06:58] Yumiella**
Uh, sure. Anytime.
**[07:00] Alicia**
Well, bye, then!
**[07:18] Yumiella**
Patrick.
**[07:20] Patrick**
This is from the queen.
**[07:23] Yumiella**
You went to the castle?
**[07:25] Patrick**
Well, yeah.
**[07:27] Yumiella**
I guess the sons of margraves are
pretty busy people, huh?
**[07:30] Patrick**
Yeah, pretty much.
**[07:32] Yumiella**
These are pastries. Do you want
to eat them with me in my room?
**[07:35] Patrick**
Wha—
**[07:36] Yumiella**
Rita... er, my maid will
prepare some good tea for us.
**[07:41] Patrick**
Don't invite a man into a lady's
room like it's no big deal!
**[07:46] Yumiella**
I'm sorry.
**[07:50] Patrick**
No... I'm sorry, too.
**[07:53] Patrick**
Why don't we eat in the cafeteria?
**[07:55] Yumiella**
Yes, let's.
**[08:04] Patrick**
This is good.
**[08:05] Yumiella**
Isn't it?
**[08:06] Patrick**
Why do you sound so proud?
**[08:09] Alice**
Master Patrick and Miss Yumiella...
**[08:12] Becky**
They really are close.
**[08:15] Yumiella**
* Summer break ended, and the season of*
* the martial arts competition arrived.*
**[08:19] Yumiella**
* The martial arts competition is*
* a schoolwide event consisting of*
**[08:24] Yumiella**
* a sword fighting portion conducted*
* in one-on-one tournament format*
**[08:27] Yumiella**
*and an individually scored magic portion.*
**[08:30] Yumiella**
* In the game, Alicia stirs up the*
* crowd with her light magic,*
**[08:34] Yumiella**
*but I don't participate.*
**[08:36] Yumiella**
* Powerful nobles come to*
* watch this competition,*
**[08:40] Yumiella**
* so it's a chance for students*
* striving to be military officers*
**[08:42] Yumiella**
*to show what they can do.*
**[08:44] Yumiella**
* I don't think it'd be right*
* to interfere with that.*
**[08:48] Patrick**
Ah, the martial arts competition.
Are you participating?
**[08:51] Yumiella**
Of course not. What about you?
**[08:54] Patrick**
I'll pass, too.
**[08:56] Patrick**
I have no interest in joining the military.
**[08:59] Patrick**
Anyway, who would even want the prize
they're offering the winner this year?
**[09:03] Yumiella**
Prize?
**[09:05] Yumiella**
The winners in each portion will receive...
an amulet that enhances dark magic?
**[09:10] Yumiella**
Is that a rare item I don't know about?
**[09:12] Patrick**
But you're the only one
who can use dark magic,
**[09:16] Patrick**
and if you get any stronger
than you already are...
**[09:18] Yumiella**
I want it.
**[09:19] Patrick**
Huh?
**[09:20] Yumiella**
I really want it! I want it so bad!
**[09:22] Yumiella**
I'm gonna get it, whatever it takes!
**[09:25] Patrick**
Hey! Take it easy, Yumiella!
**[09:31] Yumiella**
I'm entering the martial arts competition.
**[09:33] Ronald**
You're scaring me.
**[09:35] Yumiella**
If I hadn't learned what the prize was,
**[09:37] Yumiella**
the winners would have unknowingly
become targets for robbery.
**[09:41] Ronald**
You're so scary.
**[09:42] Yumiella**
So please see that I am entered in
both portions of the competition.
**[09:47] Ronald**
Sure, sure.
**[09:49] Yumiella**
* Event rewards must be obtained by*
* legitimately winning the event. That's my motto.*
**[09:56] Ronald**
*I didn't think she'd actually take the bait.*
***SIGN*** The Hidden Boss Participates in the Martial Arts Competition
**[10:10] Yumiella**
This is an even bigger deal
than I thought it'd be.
**[10:12] Patrick**
I heard that those amulets
were given to the principal
**[10:16] Patrick**
by the king himself, to
be passed along to you.
**[10:20] Patrick**
Yet they decided to offer them
as prizes, which must mean...
**[10:24] Yumiella**
The principal set me up.
**[10:26] Patrick**
He's probably trying to use this as a
chance to show you off to the nobles.
**[10:31] Yumiella**
Are these nobles seeing this as a
trip to a zoo to see the lions
**[10:37] Yumiella**
or a viewing of the military's latest weapon?
**[10:42] Yumiella**
It's tough being popular.
**[10:44] Sword Teacher2**
We will now determine the match-ups
for the sword fighting portion.
**[10:47] Sword Teacher2**
Participants, to the center of the arena.
**[10:49] Yumiella**
Well, off I go. I'll do my best.
**[10:52] Patrick**
Yeah, good luck.
**[10:54] Patrick**
Uh, maybe don't do your "best," though!
**[10:56] Patrick**
"Good enough" is good enough!
In fact, do your best to hold back!
**[10:59] Yumiella**
*He's asking a lot.*
**[11:03] Yumiella**
* The sword fighting match-ups*
* are determined by lottery.*
**[11:07] Yumiella**
*Edwin and William...*
**[11:09] Yumiella**
*are both in the left block.*
**[11:18] Yumiella**
Number three on the right.
**[11:23] William**
I hear you stayed at school all
through the summer recess.
**[11:26] Yumiella**
Huh? Yes...
**[11:28] William**
I spent the whole time training.
**[11:30] William**
Don't think this'll end
like it did last time.
**[11:33] William**
I'm level 20 now!
**[11:36] Yumiella**
*I don't know if that's impressive or not...*
**[11:39] Yumiella**
* But I'm curious to know*
* what he did to level up.*
**[11:43] Yumiella**
* Take this! The three sacred*
* implements of idle chatter!*
***SIGN*** I see.
**[11:46] Yumiella**
I see.
***SIGN*** That's amazing.
**[11:47] Yumiella**
That's amazing.
***SIGN*** Please tell me more.
**[11:48] Yumiella**
Please tell me more.
**[11:50] William**
Are you mocking me?
**[11:52] Yumiella**
*It didn't work.*
**[11:54] William**
Look... I'm sorry.
**[11:56] Yumiella**
What?
**[11:57] William**
I heard from Captain Adolf
that you're level 99.
**[12:03] William**
And if he says so, it must be true.
**[12:06] Yumiella**
I'm just glad the misunderstanding
is cleared up.
**[12:08] William**
My dream is to surpass Captain
Adolf. In other words...
**[12:13] William**
Beating you would bring me
closer to achieving my dream.
**[12:17] Yumiella**
* You're actually getting*
* closer to your own death.*
**[12:25] Sword Teacher2**
The winner: Miles Clory!
**[12:27] Yumiella**
*I'm up next.*
**[12:32] Sword Teacher2**
Second match: Yumiella
Dolkness versus Lewis Lexam!
**[12:42] Yumiella**
*There's no way I'm going to lose,*
**[12:44] Yumiella**
* but he's seeing this as*
* a part of job-hunting.*
**[12:48] Yumiella**
*I'll give him a chance to shine.*
**[12:50] Yumiella**
* I need to hold back enough to let*
* the audience see his strength.*
**[12:55] Yumiella**
* The only concern is the*
* durability of these swords.*
**[12:58] Yumiella**
*A broken weapon is instant disqualification,*
**[13:00] Yumiella**
*so I went to some pains to get this sword.*
**[13:03] Yumiella**
* Most swords snap right in two when*
* I use them at full strength.*
**[13:11] Yumiella**
* Okay. That should be enough*
* to keep my sword intact.*
**[13:15] Lewis**
I withdraw!
**[13:17] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[13:17] Sword Teacher2**
The winner... is Yumiella Dolkness.
**[13:21] Yumiella**
*Did he suddenly start to feel ill?*
**[13:24] Yumiella**
*From there, I advanced to the final round...*
**[13:25] Student1**
I withdraw.
**[13:27] Student2**
I withdraw.
**[13:28] Yumiella**
*without even having to fight anyone.*
**[13:30] Student3**
I-I withdraw!
**[13:42] Sword Teacher2**
The winner: William Ares!
**[13:44] Yumiella**
*Edwin is a magic swordsman.*
**[13:46] Yumiella**
*When he fights with only a sword,*
**[13:49] Yumiella**
*he's at a disadvantage against William.*
**[13:53] Sword Teacher2**
The final round: Yumiella
Dolkness versus William Ares!
**[13:57] William**
I won't withdraw.
I'm gonna fight you fair and square.
**[14:01] Yumiella**
*The final round, and I finally get to fight.*
**[14:04] Yumiella**
* Thank goodness. Winning the whole thing by*
* default would've left a bad taste in my mouth.*
**[14:10] William**
My weapon is the Greatsword of Strodo!
**[14:12] William**
It won't be like that wooden sword!
**[14:15] Yumiella**
*I remember that from the game.*
**[14:17] Yumiella**
* It's supposed to be a sword you*
* get near the end of the story.*
**[14:21] Yumiella**
*How did he get it?*
**[14:24] Yumiella**
*Guess he has connections.*
**[14:27] Sword Teacher2**
Final round! Begin!
**[14:39] William**
Damn you!
**[14:40] Yumiella**
*He's already out of breath.*
**[14:42] Yumiella**
* That's what happens when you use*
* a weapon that's above your level.*
**[14:46] William**
All you're doing is evading.
**[14:49] Yumiella**
* He's right. Just evading the*
* whole time would be boring.*
**[14:52] Yumiella**
*It's the final. I should make it climactic*
**[14:55] Yumiella**
* and contribute to the*
* excitement of the event.*
**[14:58] Yumiella**
* If I deflect his attacks like Patrick*
* does, I won't have to dodge.*
**[15:07] Yumiella**
*No! It's about to break!*
**[15:09] Yumiella**
*If my sword breaks, I'm disqualified!*
**[15:11] Yumiella**
*Yumiella Punch!*
**[15:14] Yumiella**
*Allow me to explain.*
**[15:15] Yumiella**
* Yumiella Punch is an ultra*
* high-speed punch that I can use.*
**[15:20] Yumiella**
*People at low levels can't even see it.*
**[15:22] William**
My sword... got shattered
by a dull blade like that?
**[15:27] Yumiella**
*Good. He didn't notice.*
**[15:29] Sword Teacher2**
The winner: Yumiella Dolkness!
**[15:35] Yumiella**
*My hand kind of moved of its own accord,*
**[15:37] Yumiella**
*but I'm glad nobody seemed to notice.*
**[15:40] Adolf**
She broke a greatsword with her bare hand?
**[15:44] Yumiella**
* The latter half of the competition*
* is the magic portion.*
**[15:48] Yumiella**
* Participants display their*
* magic in order by level,*
**[15:50] Yumiella**
* and they're scored by academy*
* teachers and palace mages.*
**[15:54] Yumiella**
*I'm up last, so I have some free time.*
**[15:58] Oswald**
Impressive showing in the
sword fighting portion.
**[16:02] Yumiella**
Thank you.
**[16:03] Oswald**
But the magic portion won't be so easy.
**[16:06] Oswald**
You'll be scored not only
on the strength of your magic,
**[16:07] Oswald**
but on the type you use and
your accuracy, as well.
**[16:12] Oswald**
My level may be lower,
**[16:13] Oswald**
but since I can use all four major
elements, I should have an advantage.
**[16:17] Yumiella**
*Really?*
**[16:19] Yumiella**
What did you do to level up
during the summer recess?
**[16:22] Oswald**
I didn't go into dungeons alone
or use a Monster-Calling Flute.
**[16:27] Oswald**
I did it the right way.
**[16:29] Yumiella**
*The right way?*
**[16:30] Oswald**
There's one thing I wanted to tell you.
**[16:32] Yumiella**
What is it?
**[16:34] Oswald**
I guess it's really true
that you're level 99.
**[16:38] Oswald**
I apologize for doubting you.
**[16:41] Yumiella**
I'm just glad the misunderstanding
is cleared up.
**[16:43] Oswald**
But I'm sorry to say...
**[16:44] Oswald**
it doesn't change the fact
that I'll never like you.
**[16:48] Oswald**
I'm going to be the top
mage in this kingdom,
**[16:51] Oswald**
and as the first step toward achieving
that, I'm going to win this competition.
**[16:56] Yumiella**
I'll be applying my full strength, as well.
**[16:59] Oswald**
Just the way I want it. Goodbye.
**[17:03] Magic Teacher2**
First-year, Alicia Ehnleit.
**[17:15] Alicia**
Sun Rain!
**[17:25] Yumiella**
*This is...*
**[17:28] (Flashback) Alicia**
It reminds me of seeing the
starry sky with my grandma...
**[17:31] Yumiella**
*The same magic she used in the game.*
**[17:34] Yumiella**
*See? You can do it if you try.*
**[17:37] Yumiella**
* I guess that's to be expected.*
* She's the heroine, after all.*
**[17:42] Yumiella**
* It's only natural that things would*
* go just the way they did in the game.*
**[17:49] Magic Teacher2**
Alicia Ehnleit: 88 points!
**[17:52] Alicia**
I never knew I could do that...
**[17:55] Magic Teacher1**
Above all, the rarity of her light magic
**[17:59] Magic Teacher1**
and the beauty of her spell
were the key to her score.
**[18:03] Yumiella**
* If rarity counts,*
* I might have a chance, too.*
**[18:15] Yumiella**
* In magic alone, he might win*
* in the same way William did.*
**[18:23] Magic Teacher2**
Edwin Valschein: 90 points!
**[18:27] Magic Teacher2**
First-year, Oswald Grimsarde.
**[18:44] Magic Teacher1**
Oh, my!
**[18:55] Yumiella**
*He has not only accuracy,*
**[18:56] Yumiella**
* but also a combination*
* of multiple types of magic.*
**[18:59] Yumiella**
*He was right. He's a genius.*
**[19:12] Magic Teacher2**
Oswald Grimsarde: 100 points!
**[19:15] Magic Teacher2**
Remarkable! A perfect score!
**[19:18] Yumiella**
*A perfect score?*
**[19:24] Oswald**
I've won. You can't beat 100
points, no matter what you do.
**[19:28] Yumiella**
But if I get 100 points, it'll be a draw.
**[19:34] Yumiella**
* So I said, but I haven't decided*
* which spell to use yet.*
**[19:40] Magic Teacher2**
The final competitor:
**[19:41] Magic Teacher2**
first-year, Yumiella Dolkness!
**[19:46] Yumiella**
*Patrick?*
**[19:48] Yumiella**
*Why is he so far away?*
**[19:51] Yumiella**
*It's my turn, and he's not in the front row?*
**[19:54] Yumiella**
*Oh, well.*
**[19:56] Yumiella**
* Just watch. I'll do my best*
* so you can see it from there.*
**[20:03] Yumiella**
*Why did he back away?*
**[20:07] Yumiella**
*I'm not confident in my control,*
**[20:10] Yumiella**
*so I'll have to go with a display of power.*
**[20:13] Yumiella**
*Take a good look at the power of level 99!*
**[20:19] Yumiella**
Black Hole!
**[20:32] Yumiella**
* Ah... How long has it been since*
* I cast a spell at full strength?*
**[20:42] Yumiella**
*Oh...*
**[20:46] Yumiella**
* I had no idea I could use*
* such beautiful magic, too...*
**[20:58] Yumiella**
* I forgot that this spell always*
* causes a miniature typhoon.*
**[21:02] Students**
We're doomed!
**[21:03] Students**
We're all gonna die!
**[21:04] Students**
She really is the Demon Lord!
**[21:07] Yumiella**
*Shoot! I've only used one spell so far!*
**[21:09] Yumiella**
*I need to rack up points with variety!*
**[21:13] Yumiella**
* Dark Bind? Or maybe a healing*
* spell like Turbid Flow?*
**[21:17] Magic Teacher2**
That's it! Stop! We're done!
**[21:20] Yumiella**
Wait, please! Save the scoring until
after you've seen one more spell!
**[21:24] Magic Teacher2**
300 points!
**[21:25] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[21:28] Yumiella**
Isn't 100 points a perfect score?
**[21:30] Magic Teacher2**
Don't worry about that! You can
have 300 points! Just stop this!
**[21:33] Magic Teacher2**
You win!
**[21:38] Ronald**
Congratulations on your
victory, Miss Yumiella.
**[21:42] Yumiella**
Thank you.
**[21:44] Yumiella**
Now my magic will be stronger.
**[21:47] Ronald**
Is that really necessary, though?
**[21:50] Yumiella**
* There are too many people in this world*
* who don't understand the value of things.*
**[21:55] Yumiella**
*But Patrick will...*
**[21:59] Patrick**
Do you really even need that amulet?
**[22:02] Yumiella**
* Maybe I should show him how much stronger*
* this amulet makes my dark magic,*
**[22:05] Yumiella**
*right here and now.*
**[22:07] Patrick**
Huh? What's wrong?!

**[00:01] Yumiella**
* It's winter, and my first year at*
* the academy is nearing its end.*
**[00:07] Yumiella**
* People have only grown more scared*
* of me since the martial arts competition,*
**[00:10] Yumiella**
*putting my loner status on full display.*
**[00:14] Patrick**
Morning, Yumiella.
**[00:16] Yumiella**
Good morning.
**[00:18] Yumiella**
* I can't remember the last time*
* I spoke to anyone but Patrick.*
**[00:22] Yumiella**
* But I haven't had to deal with Alicia or*
* the conquerable characters for a while,*
**[00:26] Yumiella**
*so life is peaceful.*
**[00:28] Yumiella**
*Or so I thought...*
**[00:31] Edwin**
Alicia's belongings have
been going missing lately.
**[00:34] Edwin**
Do you know anything?
**[00:35] Yumiella**
*So long, my brief moment of peace.*
**[00:38] Yumiella**
I don't.
**[00:39] Edwin**
Are you sure?
**[00:41] Edwin**
You'd be better off confessing
now than getting exposed later.
**[00:44] Patrick**
Your Highness!
**[00:46] Patrick**
I don't think it's right to assume
someone is guilty without any evidence.
**[00:52] Edwin**
There's someone else I have my doubts about.
**[00:54] Edwin**
I'll look into them first.
**[00:56] Patrick**
You're not going to ask me?
**[00:59] Edwin**
I know you couldn't have done it, Ashbatten.
**[01:05] Yumiella**
*In the game, I'm the one who bullies Alicia.*
**[01:09] Yumiella**
*But of course, I didn't do this.*
**[01:12] Yumiella**
*Which means it must have been someone else.*
**[01:15] Yumiella**
* There are many at the academy*
* who dislike Alicia.*
**[01:19] Yumiella**
*Because she's a commoner,*
**[01:21] Yumiella**
* because she's close to the*
* prince and his buddies...*
**[01:25] Yumiella**
* If the bullying escalates and*
* Alicia stops coming to school...*
**[01:32] Yumiella**
* It could have a negative impact*
* on my leveling progress.*
**[01:36] Yumiella**
*This calls for a stakeout.*

U-Um...
**[03:21] GirlX**
You've got it all wrong!
**[03:23] GirlX**
I was just worried about...
Miss... Alicia...
**[03:34] GirlX**

***SIGN*** Demon

**[03:45] GirlX**
I was only doing it for Miss Eleonora!
**[03:53] Eleonora**
And you think I ordered her to do that?
**[03:58] Yumiella**
No, I only came to inform you that
your friend was doing something bad.
**[04:03] Yumiella**
She did admit that she did
it of her own accord.
**[04:07] Yumiella**
But...
**[04:09] Yumiella**
If Prince Edwin hears about this,
**[04:13] Yumiella**
he might think she was
acting on your orders.
**[04:18] Yumiella**
I don't think you should punish her.
It would make others suspicious.
**[04:23] Yumiella**
I intend to keep quiet about it, as well.
**[04:25] Eleonora**
U-Um...
**[04:28] Eleonora**
But then Miss Alicia and
Prince Edwin will...
**[04:31] Yumiella**
I doubt anything will happen.
**[04:33] Yumiella**
A commoner can't marry
into the royal family.
**[04:36] Eleonora**
Y-Yes, that's a good point!
**[04:38] Yumiella**
*I lied.*
**[04:40] Yumiella**
*If Alicia defeats the Demon Lord,*
**[04:41] Yumiella**
* the king will regard her as the*
* second coming of the saint*
**[04:44] Yumiella**
*and have her marry the prince.*
**[04:47] Yumiella**
Which is why I recommend
ignoring Miss Alicia.
**[04:51] Yumiella**
You wouldn't want to suffer a setback
over something as silly as this.
**[04:55] Eleonora**
Of course! But why did you tell me all this?
**[05:00] Yumiella**
Because I'm praying that you and
Prince Edwin find happiness.
**[05:05] Eleonora**
Oh!
**[05:07] Eleonora**
You really do have good judgment!
**[05:09] Eleonora**
Anyone can see that I'm the one
who's best suited for Prince Edwin!
**[05:10] Yumiella**
*She's too easy.*
**[05:11] Yumiella**
*Stop the bullying of Alicia,*
**[05:13] Eleonora**
I guess you feel the same way!
**[05:13] Yumiella**
*and protect the responsible party...*
**[05:16] Yumiella**
*I've achieved both of those goals.*
**[05:20] Patrick**
That's kind of unusual for you.
**[05:22] Yumiella**
How so?
**[05:23] Patrick**
Normally, I would've expected
you to turn in the culprit.
**[05:27] Patrick**
Wouldn't getting Prince Edwin to scold
Miss Eleonora resolve everything?
**[05:32] Yumiella**
Well...
**[05:34] Yumiella**
She might have been me...
**[05:39] Patrick**
What does that mean?
**[05:40] Yumiella**
If a version of me that
kept her dark magic secret
**[05:44] Yumiella**
and never did any leveling up
lived in some other world...
**[05:50] Yumiella**
If the parents I'd never even met
told me to befriend other nobles,
**[05:55] Yumiella**
I might have been desperate to get Miss
Eleonora to let me join her clique.
**[05:58] Yumiella**
I would have been her number one underling,
**[06:01] Yumiella**
the one she'd force to do things
no one else wanted to do.
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** (Hey, is that... my desk?)
***SIGN*** Edwin
***SIGN*** Why don't you explain yourself?
What were you trying to do to Alicia?!
**[06:08] Yumiella**
I'd be forced to do all the bullying,
***SIGN*** Yumiella
***SIGN*** (There was nobody on my side.)
**[06:10] Yumiella**
and when I got caught, Eleonora
would run me out of her group,
**[06:14] Yumiella**
and I'd have no one on my side.
**[06:17] Yumiella**
I'd hate my parents, I'd hate
Eleonora, I'd hate Alicia...
**[06:23] Yumiella**
*Alicia Ehnleit.*
**[06:25] Yumiella**
*She has light magic, and I have dark magic.*
**[06:29] Yumiella**
*She is loved by all, and I am loved by none.*
**[06:32] Yumiella**
* Maybe the Yumiella in the game is*
* actually the victim in this world...*
**[06:38] Yumiella**
Then I'd start leveling up
in order to get revenge.
**[06:42] Yumiella**
But dark is weak against light,
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** Miss Yumiella?! But why...
**[06:45] Yumiella**
so in the end, Alicia would kill me.
**[06:49] Yumiella**
I started thinking about what-ifs like that,
**[06:51] Yumiella**
and it made me want to help her.
**[06:56] Yumiella**
What? I was only speaking hypothetically
about a world like that existing.
**[07:01] Patrick**
There's no difference.
**[07:03] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[07:05] Patrick**
The only difference between the you here
and the hypothetical you is your level.
**[07:11] Yumiella**
That's a big difference, though.
**[07:14] Patrick**
Do you have anyone on your side now?
**[07:17] Patrick**
Do you hate this world?
**[07:20] Patrick**
If you do, I...
**[07:24] Yumiella**
It's all right. Just having an acquaintance
to talk to every now and then is enough.
**[07:31] Patrick**
I see...
**[07:33] Yumiella**
I should head back to the dorm now. See you.
**[07:35] Patrick**
Okay... See you tomorrow.
**[07:39] Yumiella**
* Just getting a conversation*
* partner was hard enough.*
**[07:44] Yumiella**
*I don't know if I'll ever make a friend,*
**[07:46] Yumiella**
* and I can't even imagine*
* getting a romantic partner.*
**[07:52] Patrick**
An acquaintance, huh?
**[07:57] Yumiella**
*A few days later...*
**[07:58] Eleonora**
Miss Yumiella! We meet again!
**[08:01] Yumiella**
* Ever since the bullying incident,*
* Eleonora's been following me around.*
**[08:06] Yumiella**
What a coincidence.
**[08:07] Eleonora**
I was just about to have tea!
**[08:10] Eleonora**
I'll invite you as a special exception!
**[08:12] Yumiella**
* These "special exceptions" have*
* been going on for three days now.*
**[08:17] Yumiella**
I'm sorry. I have things I need to do.
**[08:21] Yumiella**
*I'm genuinely scared.*
**[08:22] Yumiella**
*I have no idea what Eleonora is thinking.*
**[08:25] Yumiella**
*According to the queen,*
**[08:27] Yumiella**
* the leader of the anti-king*
* faction is Duke Hillrose.*
**[08:31] Yumiella**
* And Eleonora's his daughter.*
* I'd rather not get close to her.*
**[08:36] Yumiella**
* All right, I need to just*
* turn her down flat.*
**[08:39] Yumiella**
* If it makes her hate me,*
* I'll just have to deal with it.*
**[08:41] Yumiella**
Miss Eleonora, I would appreciate
it if you'd stop inviting me.
**[08:45] Eleonora**
But why?
**[08:47] Eleonora**
I have delicious sweets, too.
**[08:49] Yumiella**
*Level 99 craftiness!*
**[08:51] Yumiella**
If you're friendly with me,
Prince Edwin won't like you.
**[08:56] Eleonora**
I don't want that!
**[08:58] Eleonora**
Could you help me out?
**[09:00] Yumiella**
*She's not making sense at all.*
**[09:02] Yumiella**
Fine, I'll go. Will that make you happy?
**[09:05] Eleonora**
Terribly happy!
**[09:06] Yumiella**
*I can't take her anymore.*
**[09:11] Eleonora**
Here, Miss Yumiella. Eat some of these.
**[09:14] Yumiella**
Very well.
**[09:18] Eleonora**
What do you think?
**[09:19] Yumiella**
I'm... not sure. It doesn't taste like much.
**[09:22] Yumiella**
It certainly doesn't taste bad, but...
**[09:25] Yumiella**
It doesn't taste that good, either.
**[09:27] Eleonora**
I'm the one who made those, you know!
**[09:31] Yumiella**
*Now's my chance to make her hate me!*
**[09:34] Yumiella**
Ah, no wonder. I thought it
tasted kind of disgusting.
**[09:42] Yumiella**
* If I say they taste good,*
* she'll get clingy again.*
**[09:45] Yumiella**
*Come on! Get mad!*
**[09:48] Eleonora**
Yes, you're right!
**[09:49] Eleonora**
This was a failed batch,
if I'm being honest!
**[09:52] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[09:54] Eleonora**
But my friends all say they're the
most delicious things in the world.
**[09:58] Eleonora**
You're the only one who tells me the truth!
**[10:02] Yumiella**
*Wait... Did I make the wrong choice?*
**[10:06] Yumiella**
Um... Why did you suddenly
decide to start baking?
**[10:11] Eleonora**
I heard that Miss Alicia gave
Prince Edwin homemade sweets.
**[10:16] Eleonora**
So I thought I would, too.
**[10:18] Yumiella**
* Homemade sweets, huh?*
* Ever the skilled communicator.*
**[10:22] Yumiella**
*Wait, no!*
**[10:24] Yumiella**
* What I need now is the resolve*
* to make her hate me!*
**[10:27] Yumiella**
I don't think you need to do that.
**[10:30] Yumiella**
In fact, I don't think it's possible for you.
**[10:32] Eleonora**
Yes, of course!
**[10:35] Eleonora**
I did it because all my
friends said I should,
**[10:38] Eleonora**
but it's not at all like me, is it?
**[10:41] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[10:42] Eleonora**
You understand me so well, Miss Yumiella!
**[10:46] Yumiella**
* There's some bug happening*
* that makes her like me more*
**[10:49] Yumiella**
*the harder I try to make her hate me.*
**[10:52] Eleonora**
All my friends think I could never make
a mistake because I'm so perfect.
**[10:58] Eleonora**
If our opinions differ,
**[10:59] Eleonora**
they decide that I must be
right and they must be wrong.
**[11:03] Yumiella**
* They're just scared they'll*
* get on your bad side.*
**[11:03] Eleonora**
I'm such a terrible woman!
**[11:06] Yumiella**
*And she's so stupidly gullible,*
**[11:10] Yumiella**
* I actually worry someone might*
* manipulate her for evil purposes.*
**[11:11] Eleonora**
That's what they all say, anyway!
**[11:14] Yumiella**
*Maybe someone already is manipulating her?*
**[11:18] Yumiella**
* Like, what if someone's ordered*
* her to get rid of Alicia?*
**[11:23] Yumiella**
I wanted to ask about when that girl hid
Miss Alicia's things the other day.
**[11:27] Eleonora**
I-I wasn't the one who ordered
her to do that... I, um...
**[11:32] Yumiella**
* No, it's obvious the final*
* order came from Eleonora.*
**[11:36] Yumiella**
* The question is, who put*
* her up to it, and why?*
**[11:39] Yumiella**
What did you think about it, then?
**[11:44] Yumiella**
About hiding Miss Alicia's things.
**[11:46] Eleonora**
I-I...
**[11:48] Eleonora**
I didn't think it was a very good thing.
**[11:51] Eleonora**
But they said it was the best thing to do...
**[11:55] Yumiella**
* The idea to bully Alicia came*
* from one of her followers.*
**[11:59] Yumiella**
*The rest of them fell in line,*
**[12:01] Yumiella**
* and Eleonora was just convinced*
* that they had to do it.*
**[12:05] Yumiella**
* So it doesn't seem like it's*
* part of some bigger conspiracy.*
**[12:10] Yumiella**
*I was misled by her bloodline,*
**[12:12] Yumiella**
* but Eleonora isn't a bad*
* girl... I don't think.*
**[12:17] Yumiella**
You shouldn't trust your friends too much.
**[12:20] Eleonora**
Oh!
**[12:20] Eleonora**
It won't be a problem at all
if you become my friend!
**[12:25] Yumiella**
*Not happening.*
**[12:27] Eleonora**
I want to get all kinds of advice from you
**[12:30] Eleonora**
about my relationship with Prince Edwin!
**[12:33] Yumiella**
I don't know much about
that sort of thing...
**[12:37] Eleonora**
But...
**[12:38] Eleonora**
You said there was no question that Prince
Edwin and I would marry, didn't you?
**[12:44] Yumiella**
*I can't tell her I was lying...*
**[12:47] Yumiella**
*How did it come to this?*
**[12:52] Yumiella**
*Then, a few days later...*
**[12:57] Eleonora**
Miss Yumiella! I've come to visit you!
**[13:01] Yumiella**
Wow, you're actually inviting
yourself over to my room now?
**[13:07] Yumiella**
Why did you let her in?
**[13:09] Rita**
I couldn't refuse the
daughter of Duke Hillrose.
**[13:15] Yumiella**
Huh? This isn't the tea we usually have.
**[13:19] Rita**
I can't serve cheap tea to the
daughter of Duke Hillrose.
**[13:23] Eleonora**
It's delicious!
**[13:27] Yumiella**
What is that girl's deal?
**[13:29] Patrick**
I tried talking to her a bit, too.
She doesn't seem like a bad person.
**[13:33] Patrick**
Maybe you could try
approaching her yourself.
**[13:38] Yumiella**
I'll think about it.
**[13:41] Yumiella**
Well, see you.
**[13:42] Patrick**
Hang on a sec.
**[13:46] Patrick**
Are you going to the party for
the end of the school year?
**[13:49] Yumiella**
No. I'm not interested.
**[13:51] Patrick**
Oh... Okay.
**[13:54] Patrick**
If you change your mind,
feel free to come by.
**[13:58] Yumiella**
*The year-end party...*
**[14:01] Yumiella**
* I hear it's an actual soirée meant to help*
* us practice for joining high society.*
**[14:06] Yumiella**
* It has nothing to do with me,*
* so I think I can skip it.*
***SIGN*** Edwin
***SIGN*** Alicia, let's go someplace where we can be alone.
**[14:10] Yumiella**
* But in the game, it includes an event*
* where the heroine leaves the party*
**[14:14] Yumiella**
* with the character who has the*
* highest affection rating.*
**[14:18] Yumiella**
* It'd be my chance to make sure Alicia*
* is actually following Edwin's route.*
**[14:23] Yumiella**
Maybe I will drop by.
**[14:25] Eleonora**
Miss Yumiella! Have you picked
out a dress for the party?
**[14:28] Yumiella**
There she is!
**[14:30] Yumiella**
We can't just wear our uniforms?
**[14:32] Eleonora**
Absolutely not!
**[14:34] Eleonora**
You wear a beautiful dress and dance!
**[14:37] Yumiella**
But I don't have a partner.
**[14:39] Eleonora**
Huh?
**[14:40] Eleonora**
What about Master Patrick?
**[14:42] Yumiella**
* Why did Patrick's name*
* come up in this scenario?*
**[14:46] Yumiella**
*I've learned how to dance in class.*
**[14:49] Yumiella**
* And with the physical abilities*
* I have thanks to being level 99,*
**[14:52] Yumiella**
* I imagine I'd make a pretty*
* slick dancer, but...*
**[14:55] Yumiella**
Patrick has nothing to do with me.
**[14:57] Yumiella**
Also, I don't have a dress.
**[14:59] Eleonora**
Then I'll let you borrow one of mine!
**[15:01] Eleonora**
Let's choose one together!
**[15:03] Yumiella**
Actually, I might have one
after all, so that's okay.
**[15:06] Eleonora**
Your room it is, then!
**[15:08] Yumiella**
Why?!
**[15:12] Rita**
You want a dress?!
**[15:14] Yumiella**
*Does she have to be* that *shocked?*
**[15:16] Eleonora**
I'm here to visit!
**[15:18] Yumiella**
I need one for the year-end party.
**[15:21] Yumiella**
Do I have any dresses?
**[15:23] Yumiella**
If not, I'm fine with wearing my uniform.
**[15:26] Rita**
Absolutely not! This is a party!
**[15:28] Eleonora**
Exactly!
**[15:29] Rita**
Let's do your makeup, as well!
**[15:31] Eleonora**
Let's!
**[15:32] Yumiella**
Makeup isn't necessary...
**[15:34] Rita**
Worry not!
**[15:35] Rita**
I practiced on my younger sister back home,
**[15:38] Rita**
so I know I can handle hair and makeup!
**[15:41] Yumiella**
So once again...
**[15:43] Yumiella**
Do I have any dresses?
**[15:47] Rita**
You do have some, but...
**[15:52] Yumiella**
How lovely.
**[15:54] Yumiella**
I just adore how extravagant all
these frills and ribbons are.
**[15:57] Eleonora**
It looks like you have a solid
collection of children's dresses.
**[16:02] Rita**
The lady of the house ordered them.
**[16:05] Yumiella**
*I know I've never met my mother,*
**[16:07] Yumiella**
*but just how old does she think I am?*
**[16:10] Maid**
Miss Dolkness, delivery for you.
**[16:12] Rita**
I'll get that.
**[16:14] Eleonora**
This one is cute, though!
**[16:17] Yumiella**
Sorry to say it, but I'll
skip the party after all.
**[16:19] Eleonora**
Wait, no! We still have my dresses!
**[16:23] Yumiella**
* "Sorry to say it"? It's not as if*
* I was looking forward to it...*
**[16:27] Yumiella**
*So why did I feel sorry for saying that?*
**[16:32] Rita**
It's from the queen.
**[16:34] Eleonora**
Huh? The queen?
**[16:37] Yumiella**
She does send me sweets every now and then.
**[16:40] Rita**
This one is bigger than usual, though.
**[16:43] Yumiella**
* Don't tell me... Could*
* she time it that well?*
**[16:57] Eleonora**
Miss Yumiella, you look lovely!
**[17:00] Yumiella**
Thank you.
**[17:04] Yumiella**
*There she is.*
**[17:06] Yumiella**
* Looks like the event hasn't*
* been triggered yet.*
**[17:09] Eleonora**
Didn't you ask Master Patrick to escort you?
**[17:12] Yumiella**
Why would you bring up Patrick?
**[17:15] Eleonora**
What? I mean, aren't you...
**[17:17] Patrick**
Yumiella!
**[17:30] Eleonora**
I-I wouldn't want to get in your way!
**[17:33] Eleonora**
I'll just be over there!
**[17:35] Yumiella**
*No one asked you to be considerate.*
**[17:38] Yumiella**
*Patrick and I are only acquaintances.*
**[17:40] Yumiella**
*That's how he feels, too...*
**[17:43] Patrick**
So you came.
**[17:44] Yumiella**
I decided I might as well participate.
**[17:47] Yumiella**
I was just thinking I should
leave after all, though.
**[17:52] Yumiella**
I just feel kind of embarrassed
in this dress...
**[17:58] Yumiella**
What is it?
**[18:00] Patrick**
N-Nothing.
**[18:02] Yumiella**
*It's obviously not nothing.*
**[18:04] Yumiella**
Really, what's wrong?
Were you looking for someone?
**[18:08] Patrick**
It's nothing.
**[18:09] William**
Where's Alicia?
**[18:10] Oswald**
I can't find Ed, either!
**[18:12] William**
Did the two of them slip out?!
**[18:14] Oswald**
Let's go look for them!
**[18:17] Yumiella**
*Well, I've achieved my goal in coming here.*
**[18:24] Edwin**
I can't believe we went through with that.
**[18:26] Edwin**
Will and Oz must be flipping out right now.
**[18:30] Alicia**
I found a place where the
stars look just amazing.
**[18:33] Alicia**
I really wanted to show it to you.
**[18:37] Edwin**
I never would have guessed
you could be so bold.
**[18:40] Alicia**
Yeah. I'm a little surprised myself.
**[18:47] Yumiella**
Well, I think I'll go now.
**[18:51] Patrick**
Wait!
**[18:59] Patrick**
Um... Just for one song...
**[19:02] Patrick**
Would you dance with me?
**[19:05] Yumiella**
*He looks like such a noble right now.*
**[19:08] Yumiella**
* I should probably say,*
* "With pleasure," or something.*
**[19:12] Yumiella**
Sure...
**[19:14] Yumiella**
*Well, that came out sounding awfully curt.*
**[19:20] Patrick**
That's so like you.
**[19:22] Yumiella**
*But he laughed it off, so I guess it's okay.*
**[19:34] Yumiella**
* In my head, I'm pretty sure*
* I'm dancing perfectly,*
**[19:37] Yumiella**
*so why do we feel so mismatched?*
**[19:40] Yumiella**
* I envy Patrick for taking*
* the lead so flawlessly.*
**[19:45] Patrick**
Relax a little. It's okay
if you step on my toes.
**[19:48] Yumiella**
Even if I crush them?
**[19:49] Patrick**
Don't! Stepping on and
stomping on aren't the same!
**[19:56] Yumiella**
*My body's starting to move.*
**[20:03] Yumiella**
*This might be fun.*
**[20:05] Yumiella**
*I wonder why...*
**[20:10] Yumiella**
*Oh, well.*
**[20:19] Yumiella**
They're staring too much.
**[20:20] Patrick**
Huh? Are they?
**[20:22] Yumiella**
Like they think this dress is stained
with the blood of my enemies,
**[20:25] Yumiella**
or like they're shocked to
see a battle robot dancing.
**[20:28] Patrick**
Robo... huh?
**[20:30] Yumiella**
I'm saying that's what
they're talking about.
**[20:33] Yumiella**
I can tell without even hearing them.
**[20:36] Patrick**
No.
**[20:37] Patrick**
It's because you look beautiful.
**[20:39] Yumiella**
Wha—
**[20:41] Yumiella**
*Calm down.*
**[20:42] Yumiella**
* I'm not the type to swing between giddy*
* and depressed over empty compliments.*
**[20:46] Yumiella**
*But...*
**[20:47] Yumiella**
*My palms are getting sweaty! What do I do?*
**[20:51] Yumiella**
Saying that to just anyone will
make people lose trust in you.
**[20:54] Patrick**
Well, I mean, you are kind of dense...
**[20:57] Yumiella**
You know I can't come up with clever
responses to empty compliments.
**[21:01] Patrick**
Or maybe I'm the one who's dense.
**[21:04] Patrick**
I finally realized today... that I...
***SIGN*** Scoot
***SIGN*** Wipe Wipe
**[21:14] Yumiella**
Um... what?
**[21:15] Yumiella**
Oh! It's not that I didn't want to
hold hands... I just got sweaty...
**[21:20] Patrick**
I know. It's nothing.
**[21:23] Yumiella**
*He looks a little unhappy.*
**[21:25] Yumiella**
*I'm sorry I suck at dancing.*
**[21:28] Yumiella**
Patrick...
**[21:29] Yumiella**
If you don't mind... maybe
for the next song, too...
**[21:35] BoyA**
Miss Yumiella.
**[21:37] BoyA**
Would you dance with me?
**[21:39] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[21:41] Yumiella**
* Sorry, but I won't dance with*
* anyone other than Patrick.*
**[21:45] Yumiella**
*Time for my finishing shut-down line!*
**[21:48] Yumiella**
I'm only into people who
are stronger than me.
**[21:52] BoyA**
Uh... R-Right...
**[21:54] BoyA**
I'm so sorry!
**[21:56] Yumiella**
*Good. I turned him away.*
**[21:59] Patrick**
Into... people who are... stronger...
**[22:02] Yumiella**
You okay?

**[00:01] Patrick**
*Before the spring recess,*
**[00:03] Patrick**
* I tried to invite Yumiella*
* to the margrave's domain...*
**[00:07] Patrick**
Yumiella, do you have any
plans for the break?
**[00:11] Patrick**
If you don't... um...
**[00:13] Yumiella**
Oh, I have somewhere I need to go.
**[00:16] Patrick**
Y-You do? A vacation?
**[00:19] Yumiella**
Something like that.
You're going back home, right?
**[00:23] Patrick**
Y-Yeah. Since I stayed here
through the summer and all.
**[00:27] Patrick**
So, if it's okay with you, well...
**[00:29] Yumiella**
I see. So the next time we meet
will be during the new term.
**[00:33] Patrick**
I guess so...
**[00:35] Patrick**
* ...and I never actually got*
* a chance to invite her.*
**[00:38] Patrick**
* During the recess, I went into*
* dungeons every day to train...*
**[00:44] Patrick**
*and train...*
**[00:46] Patrick**
*and train!*
**[00:52] Patrick**
*Spring already...*
**[00:56] Patrick**
*And now, it's the first day of the new term...*
**[01:00] Patrick**
*the start of our second year.*
**[01:02] Patrick**
* And in the auditorium, before*
* the opening ceremony,*
**[01:05] Patrick**
*I saw all of my classmates again...*
**[01:09] Patrick**
*and one of them was holding some weird egg.*
**[01:13] Patrick**
Yumiella, good to see you again.
**[01:15] Yumiella**
Patrick. Same to you.
**[01:17] Patrick**
Sorry to make this the first
thing I ask you, but...
**[01:20] Patrick**
What's with the egg?
**[01:23] Yumiella**
It's my child.
**[01:24] Patrick**
Huh?
**[01:26] Patrick**
What?!

**[02:59] Yumiella**
*Before the long spring recess,*
**[03:02] Yumiella**
*a certain girl from school sought my advice.*
**[03:05] (Flashback) Jessica**
M-Miss Yumiella, I was
hoping to talk to you...
**[03:09] (Flashback) Yumiella**
About what?
**[03:10] (Flashback) Jessica**
W-Well, you see...
**[03:12] Yumiella**
*Her name is Jessica Monford.*
***SIGN*** Jessica
***SIGN*** Will you go shopping with me sometime?
**[03:15] Yumiella**
* In the game, she becomes*
* Alicia's closest friend,*
**[03:18] Yumiella**
* but as of right now,*
* they don't seem all that close.*
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** Sure, Jessica. I wanted to buy
ingredients to make sweets, anyway.
**[03:21] Yumiella**
* That's probably because I've*
* changed how the story goes.*
**[03:26] (Flashback) Jessica**
The thing is... I have a favor to ask!
**[03:31] (Flashback) Jessica**
A dragon has taken up residence on a mountain
**[03:33] (Flashback) Jessica**
in the Monford domain, my family's land.
**[03:36] (Flashback) Jessica**
Fortunately, it hasn't taken any lives yet,
**[03:39] (Flashback) Jessica**
but if nothing is done,
it's just a matter of time.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Jessica**
The local soldiers are nowhere
near capable of fighting a dragon,
**[03:45] (Flashback) Jessica**
and if we wait for the military to arrive,
**[03:47] (Flashback) Jessica**
there's no telling how long it'll take.
**[03:51] (Flashback) Jessica**
I thought maybe you could
do something about it...
**[03:54] (Flashback) Yumiella**
I understand.
**[03:57] Yumiella**
* Frankly, when Jessica asked me*
* to do this, I was surprised.*
**[04:01] Yumiella**
*I wasn't expecting this event to hit me.*
**[04:05] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Let's go slay the dragon.
**[04:13] (Flashback) Yumiella**
So it's a red dragon...
**[04:15] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Which means its attribute would be fire.
**[04:18] (Flashback) Jessica**
Y-Yes. That's what my
father said in his letter.
**[04:22] Yumiella**
*Okay. Just like in the game.*
**[04:26] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Thank you for inviting me here.
**[04:29] (Flashback) Yumiella**
I'm Yumiella Dolkness.
**[04:31] (Flashback) Jessica's Dad**
Thank you so much for coming.
**[04:33] (Flashback) Jessica's Dad**
Jessica said in her letter that
you were like a Demon Lord.
**[04:37] (Flashback) Jessica**
I didn't say she was like a Demon Lord!
**[04:39] (Flashback) Jessica**
I said she was strong enough
to *defeat* the Demon Lord!
**[04:43] (Flashback) Jessica**
Miss Yumiella is level 99, you know!
**[04:46] (Flashback) Jessica's Dad**
Level 99? A little lady like her?
**[04:51] Yumiella**
*Wow, I haven't experienced this in a while.*
***SIGN*** The Hidden Boss Meets a Dragon
**[05:03] (Flashback) SoldierA**
Hey, why do we have to do
what a little rich girl says?
**[05:08] (Flashback) SoldierB**
What choice do we have?
It's Baron Monford's orders.
**[05:12] Yumiella**
*I can hear you. My ears are level 99, too.*
**[05:21] (Flashback) SoldierA**
Is something the matter?
**[05:23] (Flashback) SoldierB**
If you're tired, we can rest.
**[05:25] (Flashback) Yumiella**
It's here.
**[05:26] (Flashback) SoldierAB**
Huh?
**[05:34] (Flashback) SoldierAB**
There it is!
**[05:41] (Flashback) SoldierA**
Miss, you must run, too! Hurry!
**[05:43] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Stay there and don't move.
**[05:54] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Black Hole.
**[06:11] (Flashback) SoldierA**
Sh-She did it!
**[06:12] (Flashback) SoldierB**
And in one attack... Wow...
**[06:15] (Flashback) Yumiella**
It's not over yet.
**[06:18] Yumiella**
*I know because I played the game.*
**[06:21] Yumiella**
* There's not one dragon*
* on this mountain, there's two.*
**[06:24] Yumiella**
* So if they focus only on*
* countering the fire one,*
**[06:27] Yumiella**
* they'll be taken out by the other, a*
* green dragon whose attribute is wind.*
**[06:31] Yumiella**
*The whole event's a trap.*
**[06:41] (Flashback) SoldierA**
Look out!
**[06:43] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Shadow Lance.
**[06:52] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Now...
**[06:54] Yumiella**
*There's one more thing I need to do.*
**[07:03] Yumiella**
*It's those dragons' egg.*
**[07:07] Patrick**
Huh? Your... child?
**[07:10] Yumiella**
Yes. I laid it.
**[07:12] Patrick**
Y-You and who?!
**[07:14] Yumiella**
It was a joke.
**[07:15] Patrick**
Oh... A joke.
**[07:18] Yumiella**
*Does he think I could lay an egg?*
**[07:23] Yumiella**
It's a dragon egg.
**[07:25] Yumiella**
Some things happened during the recess.
**[07:27] Patrick**
Most people don't get a dragon
egg by doing "some things."
**[07:31] Patrick**
Are you going to hatch it?
**[07:33] Yumiella**
That's the plan.
**[07:34] Yumiella**
I got permission from the
king and the principal.
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** The egg is shining gold!
**[07:39] Yumiella**
*In the game, Alicia's magic causes the egg*
**[07:42] Yumiella**
*to hatch into a light-attribute dragon,*
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** (The light dragon rose into the sky,
carrying us on its back.)
**[07:44] Yumiella**
* and it grows big enough to*
* carry the party on its back.*
**[07:48] Yumiella**
* The whole point of the dragon-slaying*
* event was to give them a means of travel.*
**[07:53] Yumiella**
* Of course, the goal is to help*
* people who are in trouble,*
**[07:58] Yumiella**
*but the event's reward was too enticing.*
**[08:00] Yumiella**
* It could help me flee the*
* kingdom if I ever wanted to.*
**[08:05] Yumiella**
* Also, calling it my child*
* wasn't entirely wrong.*
**[08:10] Yumiella**
* Dragons hatch their eggs by*
* filling them with their magic.*
**[08:14] Yumiella**
*The more magic they give it,*
**[08:16] Yumiella**
*the stronger the hatchling will be.*
**[08:19] Yumiella**
*And when it hatches,*
**[08:20] Yumiella**
* it recognizes the one who*
* gave it magic as its parent.*
**[08:24] Yumiella**
* Even if that parent is*
* of a different species.*
**[08:28] Yumiella**
I spent the entire recess giving it magic.
**[08:33] Yumiella**
*And as that went on, I became attached to it.*
**[08:37] Yumiella**
* At first, I only thought of it as a way*
* to get my hands on a convenient taxi...*
**[08:42] Yumiella**
* But since it's going to*
* be born with my magic,*
**[08:44] Yumiella**
*it might as well be my baby.*
**[08:52] Alicia**
There's two of them!
**[08:56] Patrick**
It looks so sinister.
**[08:58] Patrick**
And that's putting it lightly.
**[09:00] Yumiella**
Don't say mean things about my baby.
**[09:03] Yumiella**
Look how lovable it is!
**[09:05] Patrick**
Lovable?
**[09:07] Yumiella**
Yes. It's going to be the
cutest dragon in the world.
**[09:11] Patrick**
Oh... So you're not trying to bring the
strongest dragon ever into the world?
**[09:17] Yumiella**
It's my baby. Of course it'll
be the strongest dragon ever.
**[09:21] Patrick**
Okay, I get it. I'll be praying
that it hatches safely.
**[09:27] Yumiella**
*Did I say something really crazy?*
**[09:34] Yumiella**
*It's a sign that the egg's about to hatch!*
**[09:37] Yumiella**
Patrick, come with me!
**[09:41] Rita**
Welcome, Master Ashbatten.
**[09:44] Yumiella**
Come in. This is your first
time coming here, isn't it?
**[09:48] Patrick**
H-Here I am...
**[09:50] Yumiella**
* Wait, is he embarrassed*
* to be in a girl's room?*
**[09:59] Yumiella**
It moved again!
**[10:01] Rita**
Is that egg... really going to hatch?
**[10:05] Yumiella**
Of course.
**[10:08] Yumiella**
Is it time yet? Is it time yet?
**[10:10] Yumiella**
I can tell by how it's moving
that it'll be adorable!
**[10:18] Yumiella**
Patrick! Look, look!
**[10:19] Patrick**
Ow, ow, ow! My arm! My arm!
**[10:22] Yumiella**
Come on! You can do it!
**[10:29] Yumiella**
Yes! It's happening, Patrick!
**[10:30] Patrick**
Quit grabbing my arm!
**[10:34] Yumiella**
Keep it up! Patrick, you cheer it on, too!
**[10:37] Patrick**
You can do it...
**[10:38] Yumiella**
Louder!
**[10:40] Patrick**
You can do it! You can do it!
**[10:41] Yumiella**
You can do it! You can do it!
**[10:54] Patrick**
I know you were expecting
a really cute dragon...
**[10:58] Patrick**
But I think being scary—er,
cool—is good, too.
**[11:02] Yumiella**
How cute...
**[11:03] Patrick**
Huh?
**[11:04] Yumiella**
How is it so adorable?
**[11:06] Patrick**
Eh?
**[11:08] Yumiella**
*It has such a sublime look.*
**[11:11] Yumiella**
* And its black body proves that it*
* absorbed plenty of my dark magic.*
**[11:18] Yumiella**
* The apple really didn't*
* fall far from the tree.*
**[11:23] Patrick**
If you think it's cute,
that's fine, I guess...
**[11:28] Yumiella**
It's purring like a cat.
**[11:31] Patrick**
Sounds more like it's growling.
**[11:33] Yumiella**
What should I name it?
**[11:35] Yumiella**
A dragon... "ryu"...
**[11:37] Patrick**
Why don't you just call it "Ryu"?
**[11:40] Yumiella**
Huh? No, "ryu" actually means...
**[11:43] Yumiella**
* Oh, right. They don't have*
* that word in this world,*
**[11:47] Yumiella**
*so it must sound like a name.*
**[11:49] Yumiella**
It does have a nice ring to it. I like it.
**[11:52] Yumiella**
Ryu.
**[11:54] Yumiella**
Your name is Ryu.
**[11:58] Yumiella**
Ryu, don't release your breath indoors.
**[12:06] Yumiella**
Don't do that, either.
**[12:10] Yumiella**
Patrick, I need to put Ryu to
bed, so that's all for today.
**[12:15] Patrick**
You're going to keep a dragon in here?!
**[12:17] Yumiella**
Of course. It'll sleep in my
bed with me until it's too big.
**[12:21] Patrick**
I see... Well, if anyone can handle
it, you can, but try not to die. Bye!
**[12:25] Rita**
I-I must take my leave, as well.
**[12:31] Yumiella**
Maybe Patrick and Rita just
don't care much for animals.
**[12:38] Yumiella**
You're so cute!
**[12:42] Yumiella**
Goodnight, Ryu.
**[12:53] Yumiella**
What's wrong, Rita?
**[12:57] Yumiella**
*They do say kids grow up quickly,*
**[13:00] Yumiella**
*but* this *quickly?*
**[13:02] Yumiella**
*How am I going to get him out of my room?*
**[13:06] Yumiella**
Come on, Ryu, this way. It's not scary.
**[13:10] Yumiella**
Come, Ryu.
**[13:19] Yumiella**
Good job, Ryu. You did it.
**[13:22] Yumiella**
I need to find you a place to live.
It should be close to my room...
**[13:29] Alice**
Wh-What is that?!
**[13:31] Yumiella**
What? What happened?
**[13:34] Beth**
A dragon! There's a dragon here!
**[13:36] Yumiella**
A dragon? One showed up here, too?
**[13:39] Patrick**
Whoa...
**[13:41] Patrick**
Dragons grow that much overnight?
**[13:44] Yumiella**
Patrick, it sounds like a dragon's shown up,
**[13:47] Yumiella**
but I can't find any trace of it.
**[13:49] Patrick**
Uh, it's right behind you.
**[13:50] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[13:51] Yumiella**
Oh, all that fuss was over Ryu?
**[13:54] Patrick**
You should expect a fuss.
**[13:56] Yumiella**
Well, he *is* cute.
**[13:58] Yumiella**
He might be the most popular
guy at school soon.
**[14:01] Patrick**
Huh?
**[14:02] Yumiella**
Ryu, want to go play with everyone?
**[14:13] Yumiella**
Why?
**[14:13] Patrick**
Stop him, Yumiella! Get Ryu back here!
**[14:17] Yumiella**
Ryu, come on back.
**[14:22] Yumiella**
* There are people out there*
* who don't like animals.*
**[14:25] Yumiella**
*I have to accept and respect that.*
**[14:29] Yumiella**
You like Ryu, don't you, Patrick?
**[14:31] Patrick**
Uh...
**[14:32] Patrick**
Cuteness aside, I do think
he's a very clever dragon.
**[14:36] Patrick**
But it's dangerous to let
him play with normal people.
**[14:44] Yumiella**
* Oh, I love it! I wish*
* he'd do that to me, too!*
**[14:49] Yumiella**
Ryu, that's enough.
**[14:54] Yumiella**
Are you okay? Does stuff like
animal drool bother you?
**[14:59] Patrick**
I'll consider myself lucky just to be alive.
**[15:02] Edwin**
I-Is this your doing, too?!
**[15:05] Yumiella**
His name is Ryu. I've received
permission to raise him.
**[15:09] Edwin**
Be serious!
**[15:10] Edwin**
You can't keep a monster
this dangerous at school!
**[15:13] Edwin**
Get rid of—
**[15:15] Patrick**
Your Highness!
**[15:17] Alicia**
Ed!
**[15:20] Alicia**
Ed!
**[15:21] Yumiella**
Ryu, stop that.
**[15:22] Alicia**
Ed! Ed!
**[15:23] Yumiella**
Don't get so comfortable with
people you've never met.
**[15:28] Alicia**
Ed, hang in there!
**[15:31] Edwin**
I'll see that you pay for this humiliation!
**[15:34] Alicia**
Ed, are you okay?
**[15:36] Edwin**
Yeah... Sorry, Alicia.
**[15:39] Yumiella**
I guess he doesn't like animals, either.
**[15:41] Patrick**
I don't think that's the problem.
**[15:44] Eleonora**
Oh, my!
**[15:46] Eleonora**
Who's this adorable little guy?
**[15:49] Yumiella**
*Ooh! Eleonora likes animals!*
**[15:52] Yumiella**
*That's surprising!*
**[15:54] Yumiella**
His name is Ryu.
**[15:55] Yumiella**
He is cute, isn't he?
**[15:59] Eleonora**
May I touch him?
**[16:00] Yumiella**
Yes.
**[16:02] Eleonora**
You really are adorable!
**[16:05] Eleonora**
Why don't you come closer to everyone?
**[16:11] Eleonora**
Oh, do you like this?
**[16:14] Eleonora**
I see we share a love of fine jewels.
**[16:18] Eleonora**
Ryu, go fetch!
**[16:27] Yumiella**
I see. It was the necklace Ryu liked.
**[16:32] Yumiella**
Ryu, that's enough.
**[16:36] Eleonora**
I thought I was a goner!
**[16:39] Eleonora**
They say it's a big world,
**[16:40] Eleonora**
but I'm sure I'm the only daughter of
nobility who's been chewed on by a dragon!
**[16:45] Eleonora**
This should make Prince
Edwin like me even more!
**[16:50] Yumiella**
Uh, I'm not sure about that...
**[16:52] Patrick**
Prince Edwin...
**[16:55] Patrick**
We'll have to do something about him.
**[16:57] Yumiella**
Did you say something?
**[16:58] Patrick**
No, just talking to myself.
**[17:04] Yumiella**
It was decided that Ryu would live
in a storehouse on school grounds.
**[17:07] Yumiella**
I'll have to visit him frequently.
**[17:12] New Student1**
Did you hear there's a
student who's level 99?
**[17:16] New Student2**
That's her! The dangerous one!
**[17:18] New Student1**
Huh?
**[17:20] Yumiella**
Patrick, do you have plans after this?
**[17:22] Patrick**
Yeah, but I can spare a little time.
**[17:24] Yumiella**
You've seemed busy lately.
What are you up to?
**[17:28] Patrick**
Oh, nothing...
**[17:31] Patrick**
Just... Just wait a little longer.
**[17:35] Patrick**
There's something I want to
tell you when the time comes.
**[17:38] Yumiella**
There is?
**[17:41] Yumiella**
I'm not certain,
**[17:43] Yumiella**
but what you want to tell me might
be the same thing I want to tell you.
**[17:48] Patrick**
Huh? You mean...
**[17:50] Patrick**
No, wait! I want to say it!
**[17:53] Yumiella**
So do I.
**[17:54] Yumiella**
Depending on how it ends, it could be fun,
**[17:57] Yumiella**
or it could be painful.
**[17:58] Yumiella**
But I think it's important to take that step.
**[18:02] Patrick**
Okay, then let's say it at the same time.
**[18:05] Yumiella**
Patrick, I...
**[18:07] Patrick**
Yumiella, I...
**[18:10] Yumiella**
...want to fly through the sky with Ryu!
**[18:12] Patrick**
What?!
**[18:14] Patrick**
You want to... fly? On Ryu?
**[18:17] Yumiella**
Yeah, but I'm a bit scared.
**[18:19] Yumiella**
So I was hoping you would accompany me.
**[18:23] Yumiella**
What is it?
**[18:25] Patrick**
I'm not that interested in flying.
**[18:28] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[18:29] Yumiella**
Then what was it you wanted to say?
**[18:32] Patrick**
It's surprising that you're afraid to fly.
**[18:36] Patrick**
I thought you feared nothing.
**[18:38] Yumiella**
*He's obviously changing the subject.*
**[18:40] Yumiella**
* Well, thinking that we had*
* the same thing in mind*
**[18:44] Yumiella**
* and then finding out we didn't is*
* pretty embarrassing, I suppose.*
**[18:55] Patrick**
He grew even bigger.
**[18:57] Patrick**
What's that ring?
**[18:59] Yumiella**
It shows that he belongs to the kingdom.
**[19:01] Yumiella**
It prevents him from being
mistaken for a wild dragon.
**[19:04] Patrick**
Huh...
**[19:05] Yumiella**
The flying part is fine.
It's falling that I'm afraid of.
**[19:09] Yumiella**
If anyone's standing where I land,
I'll be fine, but they won't be.
**[19:14] Patrick**
Oh... It's not yourself you're worried about?
**[19:17] Yumiella**
Still, I'm going to try it.
**[19:18] Yumiella**
Ryu, I'm going to ride on you today, okay?
**[19:24] Patrick**
If you're worried, maybe you shouldn't do it?
**[19:27] Yumiella**
It's okay.
**[19:28] Yumiella**
I feel like it's now or never.
**[19:31] Patrick**
* Yumiella's the most dangerous*
* when she's confident.*
**[19:34] Patrick**
* It's just my rule of thumb,*
* but it's never been wrong.*
**[19:41] Yumiella**
Ryu, let's go! Beyond the skies!
**[19:51] Patrick**
Yumiella! Be careful!
**[19:53] Yumiella**
Watch me, Patrick!
**[20:05] Yumiella**
Ryu, everyone's watching. Say hello to them.
**[20:19] Yumiella**
Now do a loop-the-loop!
**[20:24] Yumiella**
Ah...
**[20:25] Yumiella**
I guess I got carried away.
**[20:29] Yumiella**
Ryu, can you make it home alone?
**[20:32] Yumiella**
Good boy. I'll be there waiting for you.
**[20:36] Yumiella**
* This is what I was worried about.*
* I'll damage the town if I land.*
**[20:40] Yumiella**
*I can't use wind magic,*
**[20:42] Yumiella**
* but if I can just change the*
* trajectory of my fall...*
**[20:56] Patrick**
Yumiella!
**[20:58] Yumiella**
Sorry, Patrick. It didn't work after all.
**[21:06] Patrick**
Okay! I'll take you to the nurse's office!
**[21:08] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[21:08] Yumiella**
Hang on. I can walk on my own.
**[21:11] Patrick**
No, Yumiella's healing
magic would be quicker!
**[21:14] Patrick**
Where's Yumiella?!
**[21:16] Yumiella**
Patrick, I'm right here.
**[21:18] Patrick**
O-Oh, right...
**[21:20] Yumiella**
Calm down. You know this
isn't enough to hurt me.
**[21:24] Patrick**
You need to take better care of yourself!
**[21:26] Patrick**
Some people have the wrong idea
about you, but you're human!
**[21:30] Yumiella**
* I think he just said something*
* kind of mean to me...*
**[21:34] Yumiella**
*But I have to be grateful for his concern.*
**[21:37] Patrick**
Come on, let's go.
**[21:40] Yumiella**
Sure.
**[21:44] Yumiella**
* A few days later, I headed into*
* town for the first time in a while.*
**[21:48] Yumiella**
*Ryu was growing bigger and bigger,*
**[21:51] Yumiella**
* so I wanted to look for*
* a saddle, a food bowl,*
**[21:54] Yumiella**
*educational toys, and other pet supplies.*
**[21:57] Linus**
I want you to hear me out
without answering yet.
**[22:01] Linus**
I'm a spy from the Kingdom of Remlest.
**[22:05] Linus**
I'd like to have a word with you in private.

**[00:01] Linus**
Thank you for your time.
**[00:04] Linus**
My name is Linus. I'm from
the Kingdom of Remlest.
**[00:07] Yumiella**
* The Kingdom of Remlest is a neighbor*
* of the Kingdom of Valschein.*
**[00:11] Yumiella**
* It's close to the domain of Margrave*
* Ashbatten, where Patrick's family lives.*
**[00:17] Yumiella**
* I've heard that the two kingdoms*
* don't get along very well.*
**[00:21] Yumiella**
*What could a spy from there want with me?*
**[00:25] Linus**
Please, order whatever you'd like.
**[00:31] Yumiella**
I'll have the offal stew, then.
**[00:34] Linus**
Offal stew?
**[00:35] Yumiella**
It's pre-made, so it should
be brought out quickly.
**[00:39] Yumiella**
I can't be out too late
or I'll break curfew.
**[00:42] Linus**
F-Fair enough...
***SIGN*** Villainess Level 99

***SIGN*** The Hidden Boss Is Solicited by an Enemy Nation
**[02:22] Linus**
I've been stationed in this
kingdom for a long time now,
**[02:25] Linus**
so I've known about you since
you enrolled at the academy.
**[02:29] Linus**
After gathering intel about
you and doing some research...
**[02:32] Yumiella**
*Research? I'm not a newly discovered species.*
**[02:36] Linus**
I've concluded that bringing you
into my kingdom would be difficult.
**[02:41] Linus**
You don't seem interested in
things like status or wealth,
**[02:44] Linus**
and even if, for some reason, you
decided to leave this kingdom,
**[02:48] Linus**
you'd have no reason to relocate to mine.
**[02:52] Yumiella**
Then why reach out to me now?
**[02:55] Linus**
Because my country doesn't agree with me.
**[02:58] Linus**
After the incident that resulted
in you acquiring a dragon,
**[03:00] Linus**
they just won't stay quiet any longer.
**[03:05] Linus**
All they ever do is order me around.
**[03:08] Linus**
They don't understand how
tough my job is at all.
**[03:11] Yumiella**
Um... Allow me to commend your efforts.
**[03:14] Linus**
Let me ask you this, just for the record:
**[03:16] Linus**
Would you come to Remlest?
**[03:18] Linus**
If there's anything you want,
I'll see that you get it.
**[03:21] Yumiella**
And what do they want from me in return?
**[03:23] Linus**
For you to become a civilian
soldier, most likely.
**[03:25] Yumiella**
*That would make me an enemy of this kingdom.*
**[03:29] Yumiella**
*And if war breaks out,*
**[03:31] Yumiella**
* it'll take place in Margrave*
* Ashbatten's domain.*
**[03:34] Yumiella**
I will not.
**[03:36] Linus**
That's what I thought.
**[03:38] Linus**
There's one thing I'd like to
know, purely out of curiosity.
**[03:42] Yumiella**
What's that?
**[03:43] Linus**
Your reason for staying in this kingdom.
**[03:47] Linus**
I know discrimination against those
with black hair runs deep here.
**[03:53] Yumiella**
So I can defeat the Demon Lord.
He threatens the entire world.
**[03:57] Linus**
What? If the Demon Lord attacks,
wouldn't it just be this kingdom?
**[04:01] Yumiella**
What do you...
**[04:03] Yumiella**
Looks like our time is up.
**[04:05] Linus**
Huh?
**[04:07] Yumiella**
Someone is about to barge
into this establishment.
**[04:10] Yumiella**
Probably this kingdom's soldiers.
**[04:13] Yumiella**
I think they had someone watching me.
**[04:16] Yumiella**
There's still time for you to escape.
**[04:18] Linus**
Understood. I owe you one for this.
**[04:29] Soldier1**
This is the room!
**[04:33] Soldier1**
Damn it!
**[04:38] Yumiella**
* I didn't get to do the shopping*
* I wanted to do for Ryu,*
**[04:41] Yumiella**
*but I did learn some things.*
**[04:46] Yumiella**
*Like how our neighboring kingdom sees me,*
**[04:49] Yumiella**
* and that the Demon Lord will only attack*
* this kingdom, which is new information.*
**[04:54] Yumiella**
*And that, until some time ago,*
**[04:57] Yumiella**
* I might have fled this kingdom if*
* things got to be such a hassle,*
**[05:00] Yumiella**
*but now I don't want to leave.*
**[05:04] Yumiella**
*And I want to become his enemy even less.*
**[05:07] Yumiella**
* What happened today made me realize*
* how I feel about Patrick...*
**[05:13] Yumiella**
*Or so I thought, but...*
**[05:15] Yumiella**
Maybe I was mistaken after all.
**[05:18] Patrick**
Mistaken about what?
**[05:20] Yumiella**
Let's say there's a girl
**[05:22] Yumiella**
attending a school somewhere
that doesn't have many students,
**[05:26] Yumiella**
and she has no friends in her own grade.
**[05:30] Yumiella**
But around the start of her second year,
**[05:32] Yumiella**
she met a kind boy who would help her
study and listen when she needed to talk.
**[05:37] Patrick**
Huh?
**[05:39] Yumiella**
I think she'd be likely to mistake
friendly love for romantic love.
**[05:43] Yumiella**
That's what I'm going through right now.
**[05:45] Patrick**
What in the world are you talking about?
**[05:47] Yumiella**
Well... how should I put it?
**[05:51] Yumiella**
I'm talking about wanting
to be friends with you.
**[05:56] Patrick**
Haven't we been friends all this time?
**[06:00] Patrick**
I thought of you as my friend.
**[06:03] Yumiella**
* Wh-What was with that*
* "I'm a dreamboat on the inside" line?!*
**[06:06] Yumiella**
* That paired with his looks is making*
* him seem like the perfect hottie!*
**[06:10] Yumiella**
*Wait, no!*
**[06:11] Yumiella**
* There's no way anyone like*
* that can really exist!*
**[06:13] Yumiella**
*Oh, I know!*
**[06:15] Yumiella**
* Maybe he thinks of me as a valuable combat*
* asset if we go to war with Remlest!*
**[06:20] Yumiella**
I-I'm not going to invade
Remlest or anything!
**[06:25] Yumiella**
Right, Ryu?
**[06:27] Patrick**
Huh?
**[06:27] Yumiella**
If we go to war, I wouldn't mind
helping our defensive line, but...
**[06:32] Patrick**
You've got some serious trust issues, huh?
**[06:35] Patrick**
I'm sure the people around you
haven't helped that, though...
**[06:38] Patrick**
It's embarrassing to come
out and say it like this,
**[06:41] Patrick**
but I would never try to use
your strength like that.
**[06:44] Patrick**
You'd probably run away from me if I did,
**[06:47] Patrick**
and I don't want to do that, anyway.
**[06:51] Patrick**
Even if you were level 1,
I'd still stand by your side.
**[06:58] Yumiella**
Thank you...
**[07:00] Yumiella**
But one person alone can level
up more efficiently than two.
**[07:04] Patrick**
I never said anything about
leveling up together...
**[07:12] Yumiella**
They posted the results of our midterms.
**[07:14] Yumiella**
You're near the top again, I see.
**[07:17] Patrick**
So are you. You *can* study, I guess.
**[07:21] Yumiella**
* I wish he wouldn't say that as*
* if studying is all I can do.*
**[07:26] Yumiella**
I guess it's nice of them to not
post every student's results.
**[07:29] Patrick**
There's be trouble if everyone thought the
heir to some powerful noble was an idiot.
**[07:34] Eleonora**
Miss Yumiella!
**[07:36] Yumiella**
Yikes. It's her.
**[07:39] Eleonora**
I'd like to talk to you!
It's extremely important!
**[07:44] Yumiella**
Make-up exam?
**[07:45] Eleonora**
Yes. Could you help me study
so I can pass the make-up exam?
**[07:51] Eleonora**
Oh, I said that wrong!
**[07:54] Eleonora**
I meant I wouldn't mind
letting you help me study.
**[07:57] Yumiella**
Did you do poorly on the midterms?
**[08:00] Yumiella**
Why don't you ask your
friends there for help?
**[08:04] Eleonora**
That just won't do.
**[08:06] Eleonora**
I got the highest score of us all.
**[08:09] Yumiella**
*That's totally a lie.*
**[08:10] Yumiella**
* They're just trying to*
* make Eleonora feel better.*
**[08:15] Yumiella**
Fine, I'll do it. You just want
me to help you study, right?
**[08:18] Eleonora**
Yes!
**[08:19] Eleonora**
There aren't many people
who can teach me, you know!
**[08:24] Yumiella**
Again, the third king was Silas.
**[08:27] Eleonora**
What? Then what about the one named Douglas?
**[08:31] Yumiella**
He was the second king.
**[08:32] Yumiella**
* This girl is devastatingly*
* unfit for studying.*
**[08:36] Yumiella**
* All of these points could be memorized,*
* but she's even terrible at memorization.*
**[08:41] Eleonora**
Oh, that's right.
**[08:42] Eleonora**
The current king has a cousin
whose name is Douglas,
**[08:48] Eleonora**
so I got them mixed up.
**[08:50] Yumiella**
So you can handle recent
history, then, Miss Eleonora?
**[08:54] Eleonora**
Of course!
**[08:56] Eleonora**
It involves Prince Edwin's father
and his relatives, after all!
**[08:59] Yumiella**
* So she can memorize things she's*
* interested in with no trouble.*
**[09:03] Yumiella**
* Come to think of it, her knowledge of*
* teas and perfumes is pretty impressive.*
**[09:09] Yumiella**
Oh, in that case, why not memorize these
things by connecting them to Prince Edwin?
**[09:14] Yumiella**
King Silas was Prince Edwin's
grandfather's grandfather.
**[09:19] Eleonora**
He was?!
**[09:20] Yumiella**
I mean, that's how royal families work.
**[09:23] Yumiella**
* Her perception of things is*
* off is all kinds of ways.*
**[09:27] Yumiella**
Who successfully implemented large-scale
irrigation in the town of Matlock?
**[09:31] Eleonora**
That was Prince Edwin's great-grandfather's
younger brother, so...
**[09:35] Eleonora**
Cliff!
**[09:36] Yumiella**
Who opened up the Giem region
and brought agriculture there?
**[09:41] Eleonora**
That was Prince Edwin's
grandmother's uncle, so...
**[09:44] Eleonora**
Andrew!
**[09:47] Yumiella**
Perfect.
**[09:48] Eleonora**
Thank you!
**[09:49] Eleonora**
I couldn't have done it without you!
**[09:52] Eleonora**
Let's study together for the next exam, too!
**[09:58] Patrick**
Oh, so Miss Eleonora passed
the make-up exam, then?
**[10:02] Patrick**
Good for her.
**[10:03] Yumiella**
Yes,
**[10:04] Yumiella**
but it's depressing that I might have to
give her private lessons until we graduate.
**[10:10] Yumiella**
Patrick, are you free after this?
**[10:13] Yumiella**
I'd like to try flying with
Ryu again. Would you join me?
**[10:17] Patrick**
Sorry. I have something to do.
**[10:19] Yumiella**
Listen...
**[10:20] Yumiella**
Can't you tell me what it is you're
doing after school and on days off?
**[10:24] Eleonora**
Miss Yumiella!
**[10:26] Yumiella**
Ugh. Her again.
**[10:30] Eleonora**
To thank you for helping me study,
**[10:32] Eleonora**
I brought you a present!
**[10:35] Eleonora**
I'm sure it'll look lovely on you!
**[10:39] Yumiella**
Wait, Patrick!
**[10:41] Patrick**
Have a good time with Miss Eleonora. See ya.
**[10:48] Soldier**
You're back again?
**[10:50] Patrick**
Don't overdo it, you hear?
**[10:52] Patrick**
I need to get stronger.
**[10:54] Soldier**
So you can battle a romantic
rival or something?
**[10:57] Patrick**
No...
**[10:58] Patrick**
Not a rival.
**[11:00] Patrick**
She's the one who's strong.
**[11:02] Soldier**
Huh?
**[11:08] (Flashback) Yumiella**
I'm only into people who
are stronger than me.
**[11:13] Patrick**
*I might never make it to level 99,*
**[11:16] Patrick**
* but to get as close as*
* I can to where she is...*
**[11:20] Patrick**
*I have to do everything I can!*
**[11:24] Patrick**
*Seriously... Why did I have to fall for her?*
**[11:28] Patrick**
* No matter how powerful she is,*
* Yumiella's just a regular person.*
**[11:32] Patrick**
*She needs someone to be there for her.*
**[11:35] Patrick**
* She's just a normal*
* sixteen-year-old, like me.*
**[11:38] Patrick**
*Normal...*
**[11:40] Patrick**
*Wait... Is she?*
**[11:45] Patrick**
*It's no use. I just don't know.*
**[11:50] Yumiella**
Patrick!
**[11:57] Yumiella**
Welcome back.
**[11:59] Yumiella**
You're injured again.
**[12:02] Patrick**
No need to worry about me.
**[12:04] Patrick**
More importantly, take Ryu home
before he causes a commotion.
**[12:09] Yumiella**
Patrick, I found out where
you've been going all the time.
**[12:15] Patrick**
You figured me out, huh?
**[12:16] Patrick**
Yeah, it's true... I've...
**[12:18] Yumiella**
What's she like?
**[12:20] Patrick**
"She"?
**[12:21] Yumiella**
Your girlfriend. The person you're dating.
**[12:24] Yumiella**
You've been going out every day
on dates with her, haven't you?
**[12:28] Yumiella**
I guess she gets violent when she's angry.
**[12:30] Yumiella**
That's why you're always so injured.
**[12:32] Patrick**
You're completely wrong!
**[12:34] Patrick**
I don't have a girlfriend outside the school!
**[12:36] Yumiella**
Then she's a student here?
**[12:38] Yumiella**
You come back at different times on purpose?
**[12:41] Yumiella**
Wow... People actually do that?
**[12:44] Patrick**
What even gave you that idea?
**[12:47] Patrick**
I don't have a girlfriend!
**[12:49] Patrick**
Do these really look like the kind of
injuries a girlfriend would give me?
**[12:52] Yumiella**
You don't? So... what, then?
**[12:56] Patrick**
Well...
**[12:58] Yumiella**
Oh, sorry for ignoring you, Ryu.
**[13:01] Yumiella**
I'm going to take Ryu home now.
**[13:05] Yumiella**
Bye.
**[13:09] Patrick**
She hasn't even considered
me at all, has she?
**[13:12] Edwin**
Ashbatten.
**[13:14] Patrick**
Prince Edwin!
**[13:16] Edwin**
I'm here a bit ahead of
the time we agreed on,
**[13:18] Edwin**
but I saw her riding on that dragon.
**[13:21] Edwin**
I heard everything.
**[13:24] Edwin**
She is a bit strange, for sure,
**[13:27] Edwin**
but you might be right.
**[13:36] Yumiella**
Hey, Ryu...
**[13:37] Yumiella**
Where do you think Patrick goes every day?
**[13:42] Yumiella**
You're right. I'd be out trying to level up,
**[13:46] Yumiella**
but I shouldn't assume he's like me.
**[13:50] Yumiella**
Yes. While I was listening to Eleonora talk
about how much she loves Prince Edwin,
**[13:55] Yumiella**
it made me think that this
might really be love.
**[13:59] Yumiella**
This is the world of an
otome game, after all.
**[14:03] Yumiella**
There'd be nothing strange
about him having a girlfriend.
**[14:07] Yumiella**
Thank you for trying to cheer me up.
**[14:09] Yumiella**
But when I worked up the
courage to ask him...
**[14:12] (Flashback) Patrick**
I don't have a girlfriend!
**[14:19] Yumiella**
I was a bit... no, I was
really happy to hear that.
**[14:27] Patrick**
There's someone I want you to meet with.
**[14:29] Yumiella**
What? Who?
**[14:31] Patrick**
Prince Edwin.
**[14:35] Patrick**
He's waiting to see you
in the principal's office.
**[14:39] Edwin**
Thank you for coming, Miss Yumiella.
**[14:42] Edwin**
Good work, Ashbatten.
**[14:51] Edwin**
Sit down.
**[14:55] Yumiella**
Um... What did you want to talk about?
**[15:00] Edwin**
I'm sorry.
**[15:01] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[15:03] Edwin**
I've been rude to you ever
since the entrance ceremony.
**[15:06] Edwin**
My assumptions were wrong and improper.
**[15:08] Edwin**
I let my senseless
pride get the better of me.
**[15:11] Edwin**
My father told me there's no way
you could be the Demon Lord...
**[15:17] Edwin**
But I just couldn't admit my
own mistake before my peers.
**[15:23] Edwin**
My own immaturity caused so
much unpleasantness for you,
**[15:28] Edwin**
and I am sorry for that.
**[15:30] Yumiella**
*Well, he is still a child.*
**[15:33] Yumiella**
* Not just him. All the other students*
* here are still teenagers, too.*
**[15:37] Yumiella**
*Mentally, they all have a childish side.*
**[15:40] Yumiella**
* They all have their senseless*
* vanity and pride.*
**[15:43] Yumiella**
* Those disliked by the central figures*
* in a class are snubbed by everyone.*
**[15:47] Yumiella**
*What I'm going through now*
**[15:49] Yumiella**
* is something I could just as easily*
* have experienced in my previous life.*
**[15:54] Yumiella**
I'm happy to hear you say that, but
why the sudden change of heart?
**[15:59] Edwin**
Ashbatten talked to me.
**[16:01] Yumiella**
Patrick?
**[16:02] Edwin**
He offered a new perspective.
**[16:05] Edwin**
He's told me several
stories about you of late.
**[16:10] Edwin**
He said that your strength is the result
**[16:12] Edwin**
of an amount of effort that none
of us could ever hope to match.
**[16:16] Edwin**
He also told me what you've
been like most recently,
**[16:18] Edwin**
and I understood that you're
really just a regular person.
**[16:23] Edwin**
I baselessly believed that no one
had put in more effort than me,
**[16:28] Edwin**
and somewhere inside, I was afraid of you,
**[16:31] Edwin**
because I thought you were
something that wasn't normal.
**[16:34] Edwin**
This has turned into nothing but excuses...
**[16:36] Edwin**
I realize it's selfish to ask,
but could you forgive me?
**[16:40] Yumiella**
I understand.
**[16:43] Yumiella**
I was already well aware that
my existence defies all logic,
**[16:47] Yumiella**
so I accept your apology.
**[16:49] Edwin**
Oh, good.
**[16:51] Edwin**
I'd like to make it up to you somehow.
**[16:53] Edwin**
Is there anything I can do?
**[16:56] Yumiella**
If you'll allow me to join you
in slaying the Demon Lord,
**[16:59] Yumiella**
that's more than enough.
**[17:02] Edwin**
Ashbatten was right.
**[17:04] Yumiella**
Oh, actually, I do have one request.
**[17:07] Yumiella**
Could you tell me what Patrick said about me?
**[17:12] Edwin**
He said you have no interest in
things like power and wealth,
**[17:16] Edwin**
and that you're too strong to let
a bad reputation bring you down.
**[17:20] Edwin**
Also, that you're basically a good person.
**[17:23] Yumiella**
"Basically"? What does that mean?
**[17:25] Edwin**
That you're crazy, you act like a nutcase,
**[17:28] Edwin**
and everything you do is questionable,
**[17:30] Edwin**
but you're good-natured
and simple-minded...
**[17:34] Edwin**
I didn't say all this! He did!
**[17:37] Edwin**
I thought I should answer
your question honestly...
**[17:40] Edwin**
You know, tell the truth!
**[17:42] Yumiella**
* He gets all conscientious*
* about the strangest things.*
**[17:44] Yumiella**
* Then again, I guess I sort of*
* knew Patrick saw me that way.*
**[17:51] Ronald**
How did your talk with him go?
**[17:54] Yumiella**
He seemed like a different person.
**[17:56] Yumiella**
That wasn't a double of
him or something, was it?
**[17:58] Ronald**
He's just been a little off
since the entrance ceremony.
**[18:01] Ronald**
Prince Edwin is actually a
very understanding young man.
**[18:05] Ronald**
I'm relieved that he's finally
come to his senses, too.
**[18:08] Ronald**
All thanks to Patrick, eh?
**[18:10] Yumiella**
Yes, it truly is.
**[18:12] Ronald**
His Highness wouldn't
listen to me or the king,
**[18:16] Ronald**
but he was so receptive to him.
**[18:19] Ronald**
Because they're the same age, perhaps?
**[18:20] Yumiella**
*I think it's more than that.*
**[18:23] Yumiella**
* Patrick's sincerity must have*
* gotten through to Edwin.*
**[18:28] Ronald**
I think this has finally set the
stage for you to help them level up.
**[18:34] Yumiella**
If it's necessary.
**[18:36] Yumiella**
His Highness and his friends
haven't raised their levels, then?
**[18:39] Ronald**
Well, about that...
**[18:42] Ronald**
Ever since you trounced them at last
year's martial arts competition,
**[18:46] Ronald**
both William and Oswald have grown even
more enthusiastic about leveling up.
**[18:51] Ronald**
So has Prince Edwin, of course.
**[18:54] Ronald**
The problem is Miss Alicia.
**[18:57] Ronald**
The three of them always
end up protecting her,
**[19:00] Ronald**
so she can't raise her own level.
**[19:03] Ronald**
It's troubling her, as well.
**[19:05] Ronald**
She's training on her own
as we speak, I believe.
**[19:11] Yumiella**
* It's great that Edwin had*
* a change of attitude,*
**[19:15] Yumiella**
* but I'd still prefer to avoid getting*
* involved with them too much.*
**[19:25] Yumiella**
* Alicia's level remaining so*
* low is a problem, though.*
**[19:29] Yumiella**
*I'll give her some support,*
**[19:31] Yumiella**
* but I want her to be the one*
* who kills the Demon Lord.*
**[19:35] Yumiella**
*Otherwise, I might be forced to marry Edwin.*
**[19:40] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia?
**[19:43] Yumiella**
* It seems I still look like*
* a monster in her eyes.*
**[19:49] Alicia**
I-It's you, Miss Yumiella? Can I help you?
**[19:53] Yumiella**
You seem to be going to
great pains to level up.
**[19:56] Yumiella**
Would you like to go to a dungeon
in the town of Varias with me?
**[20:00] Alicia**
A d-dungeon?
**[20:02] Yumiella**
Yes.
**[20:03] Yumiella**
The one in Varias is a
dark-attribute dungeon,
**[20:06] Yumiella**
so with your light magic, you should be
able to level up even more efficiently.
**[20:11] Alicia**
A dark-attribute dungeon...
**[20:14] Alicia**
with just me and Miss Yumiella?
**[20:17] Alicia**
I-I'm sorry! I appreciate the invitation,
**[20:21] Alicia**
but I don't think I'm ready for that!
**[20:23] Alicia**
I have to go now!
**[20:26] Yumiella**
*She ran away from me.*
**[20:28] Yumiella**
*But if she'd actually try it,*
**[20:30] Yumiella**
* I think she'd realize how*
* much fun leveling up is, too.*
**[20:36] Alice**
She hasn't been seen since yesterday evening.
**[20:38] Becky**
She didn't come to breakfast, so
the dorm head went to check on her,
**[20:43] Becky**
and she was nowhere to be found.
**[20:45] Silk**
Maybe she felt homesick and went home?
**[20:48] Diva**
But she left all of her clothes
and other things behind.
**[20:51] Yumiella**
Patrick, what's going on?
**[20:53] Patrick**
Apparently, Miss Alicia's gone missing.
**[20:56] Yumiella**
What?
**[20:56] Patrick**
Prince Edwin and the teachers
are all out searching for her.
**[21:00] Edwin**
Miss Yumiella!
**[21:02] Edwin**
Alicia is gone! Do you know anything?
**[21:05] Yumiella**
I have no idea.
**[21:07] William**
Is that true? You're not lying, are you?
**[21:09] Yumiella**
It's true.
**[21:10] Yumiella**
I heard she was troubled because she wasn't
gaining any levels, but that's all.
**[21:14] Oswald**
Could it be that she was so
troubled that she ran away?
**[21:18] William**
Alicia isn't that weak!
You know that as well as we do!
**[21:23] Edwin**
Even if she had a reason,
I'd think she would have left a note.
**[21:27] Edwin**
So we wouldn't worry about her.
**[21:30] Oswald**
You're right. She's considerate
enough to do that.
**[21:34] William**
That's why I keep telling you
**[21:36] William**
that someone must have kidnapped her!
**[21:38] Yumiella**
Kidnapped?
**[21:39] Oswald**
She's our trump card for
defeating the Demon Lord.
**[21:42] Oswald**
If there's some force out there
that supports the Demon Lord,
**[21:46] Oswald**
it makes sense that they'd want to get
rid of her before she can grow powerful.
**[21:50] Edwin**
Let's split up and look for her again!
**[21:52] William**
Right!
**[21:55] Patrick**
This has gotten pretty big.

**[00:04] Yumiella**
Ryu, drop down a bit lower.
**[00:09] Yumiella**
If I'm guessing right,
we should find her soon.
**[00:20] Yumiella**
I was right.
**[00:30] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia?
**[00:32] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia!
**[00:39] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia, it's me.
**[00:45] Alicia**
M-Miss Yumiella, it's you...
**[00:48] Alicia**
What am I doing... way out here?
**[00:53] Yumiella**
You don't remember?
***SIGN*** Villainess Level 99
***SIGN*** I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord
**[02:32] Alicia**
I see...
**[02:34] Alicia**
You came all this way looking for me
because you were worried about me?
**[02:38] Yumiella**
Since I told you about the
dungeon in Varias yesterday,
**[02:42] Yumiella**
I thought maybe you...
**[02:43] Yumiella**
You didn't seem thrilled with
the idea at the time, but...
**[02:47] Alicia**
Yes...
**[02:48] Alicia**
But what you said was exactly right.
**[02:52] Alicia**
I can't keep holding Ed and
the others back forever.
**[02:56] Alicia**
I didn't know what to do.
**[02:58] Yumiella**
And you were so stressed over it,
**[02:59] Yumiella**
your feet carried you this far before
you even realized you were moving?
**[03:05] Alicia**
Actually, this has happened
to me a few times before.
**[03:10] Yumiella**
It has?
**[03:12] Alicia**
I'm just... doing things
I never imagined doing
**[03:14] Alicia**
without even realizing it.
**[03:19] Alicia**
The first time was
**[03:20] Alicia**
right after I received the Royal
Academy's recommendation to enroll.
**[03:24] Alicia**
They'd heard a rumor that
I could use light magic,
**[03:28] Alicia**
so the school sent someone
to recruit me in person...
**[03:33] Alicia**
But I said I couldn't and turned them down.
**[03:37] Alicia**
But then, as I listened to him talk,
**[03:40] Alicia**
I was overcome by the feeling that
I needed to enter the academy...
**[03:45] Alicia**
and the next thing I knew,
I was signing the paperwork.
**[03:51] Alicia**
It also happened at last year's
martial arts competition,
**[03:55] Alicia**
after you gave me advice.
**[03:58] Alicia**
I had only a vague image
of the spell in my head,
**[04:02] Alicia**
but when it was my turn, the spell's
name suddenly came to me...
**[04:06] (Flashback) Alicia**
Sun Rain!
**[04:09] Alicia**
It was like my body acted
of its own free will.
**[04:13] Alicia**
Even I didn't understand it.
**[04:16] Alicia**
And then, before the party at
the end of the school year,
**[04:19] Alicia**
I invited Ed outside without realizing it.
**[04:23] Yumiella**
I remember that.
**[04:25] Yumiella**
The other two boys were making a
fuss because you two were gone.
**[04:29] Alicia**
I actually asked a prince
to leave a party with me!
**[04:32] Alicia**
How was I even able to do something so bold?
**[04:36] Alicia**
I do remember doing these things,
**[04:40] Alicia**
but it's like... it wasn't me doing them.
**[04:44] Alicia**
It's as if something was spurring me on...
**[04:48] Yumiella**
Have you told anyone about this?
**[04:51] Alicia**
I haven't told Ed or the other boys.
**[04:54] Alicia**
It would only make them worry.
**[04:57] Alicia**
I considered talking to a teacher about it,
**[05:00] Alicia**
but it seemed to have stopped
happening recently...
**[05:03] Yumiella**
*I see. I've pretty much got the idea now.*
**[05:07] Yumiella**
*Looks like my hypothesis was on the mark.*
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** We'll all fight together and defeat the Demon Lord!
**[05:10] Yumiella**
*This world is basically* Light and Hero*.*
**[05:13] Yumiella**
*In other words,*
**[05:14] Yumiella**
*it's nearly identical to the world of
the otome game* Light Magic and the Hero*.*
**[05:17] Yumiella**
*And Alicia is the heroine of that game.*
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** So this is the Royal Academy...
**[05:20] Yumiella**
*Her enrollment in the Royal Academy...*
***SIGN*** Alicia
***SIGN*** Sun Rain!
**[05:22] Yumiella**
* Her performance in the*
* martial arts competition...*
***SIGN*** Edwin
***SIGN*** Alicia, let's go someplace where we can be alone.
**[05:26] Yumiella**
* Her leaving the party with one*
* of the conquerable characters...*
**[05:29] Yumiella**
* They're all events that are*
* necessary to advancing the story.*
**[05:33] Yumiella**
* At those times, Alicia almost*
* automatically acts in accordance*
**[05:36] Yumiella**
*with the* Light and Hero *storyline.*
**[05:39] Yumiella**
* Essentially, she's doing what the*
* game's plot compels her to do.*
**[05:45] Yumiella**
* Leveling up is another thing that's*
* essential for beating the Demon Lord.*
**[05:50] Yumiella**
*Clearly, the plot kicked in again this time*
**[05:54] Yumiella**
*and compelled Alicia to move.*
**[05:57] Yumiella**
* I guess it's pretty tough*
* to be the heroine, too.*
**[06:02] Yumiella**
*But there's no need for me to tell her that.*
**[06:06] Yumiella**
* She wouldn't get it, and*
* it would only confuse her.*
**[06:10] Yumiella**
You must be someone with a strong
sense of responsibility, Miss Alicia.
**[06:14] Alicia**
Huh?
**[06:15] Yumiella**
Between that and how conscientious you are,
**[06:18] Yumiella**
you get so stressed that
your body acts on its own.
**[06:21] Yumiella**
I think it was just raw
talent that allowed you
**[06:23] Yumiella**
to use that spell you'd never used before.
**[06:26] Alicia**
Really?
**[06:28] Yumiella**
Besides, they say young people like you
**[06:32] Yumiella**
are unbalanced in both mind and body.
**[06:35] Yumiella**
I'm sure your unconscious
actions will stop in time.
**[06:39] Alicia**
Aren't you still young
yourself, Miss Yumiella?
**[06:41] Yumiella**
*Oh, right!*
**[06:49] Alicia**
Still, I feel a bit better now.
**[06:52] Alicia**
Thank you!
**[06:54] Yumiella**
*That heroine smile!*
**[06:56] Alicia**
Now, I need to hurry back!
**[06:59] Alicia**
Ed and the others are worried about me!
**[07:01] Yumiella**
Actually, before that...
**[07:04] Yumiella**
Since we're here, let's do just
a bit of leveling in the dungeon.
**[07:08] Alicia**
What? Right now?
**[07:11] Yumiella**
Of course.
**[07:15] Yumiella**
I have my Amulet of Protection.
**[07:16] Yumiella**
Once you try it, you'll
see how much fun it is.
**[07:20] Alicia**
Y-You think so?
**[07:23] Yumiella**
You'll be fine. I'll be right there with you.
**[07:28] Alicia**
R-Right...
**[07:32] GuardA**
This dungeon is dangerous,
even for Royal Academy students.
**[07:37] GuardA**
You need permission to enter.
**[07:38] Yumiella**
It's all right.
**[07:40] Yumiella**
Come on, Ryu. Help us ask them.
**[07:54] Yumiella**
What happened? Did some
urgent business come up?
**[07:57] Alicia**
I don't think that's it...
***SIGN*** The Hidden Boss Enters a Dungeon
**[08:31] Yumiella**
If there are monsters all around you,
**[08:33] Yumiella**
you can hit a target dead-on
even without aiming.
**[08:36] Yumiella**
Easy, right?
**[08:38] Alicia**
Easy?!
**[08:39] Alicia**
You call this easy?!
**[08:41] Yumiella**
The more monsters you kill,
the more your level will go up.
**[08:45] Yumiella**
Monsters of the dark attribute
are weak to light magic,
**[08:48] Yumiella**
so you can just have fun mowing them down.
**[08:50] Alicia**
This is not fun! This is *not* fun!
**[08:53] Alicia**
Help me! Grandma!
**[08:56] Yumiella**
* I conquered this dungeon multiple times*
* in the game, so I know I won't get lost.*
**[09:01] Yumiella**
*But Alicia is new to dungeons.*
**[09:04] Yumiella**
* I should do her the service*
* of guiding her through it.*
**[09:07] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia, we'll go this way next.
**[09:10] Alicia**
O-Okay...
**[09:19] Alicia**
Um, the monsters seem to be
getting bigger and bigger...
**[09:23] Yumiella**
The deeper we go, the stronger
the monsters will be.
**[09:26] Yumiella**
That's the real thrill of dungeons.
**[09:29] Alicia**
I don't need that kind of thrill!
**[09:36] Yumiella**
This dungeon goes down fifty floors,
**[09:39] Yumiella**
and it gives you reward items at random.
**[09:43] Yumiella**
Let's look forward to that.
**[09:45] Alicia**
What?
**[09:45] Alicia**
Fifty floors?!
**[09:54] Yumiella**
From here, monsters of attributes
other than dark will show up.
**[09:57] Yumiella**
Be sure to identify each opponent's
weaknesses and skills.
**[10:01] Alicia**
Why aren't you helping me, Miss Yumiella?!
**[10:04] Yumiella**
Because I'd get in the
way of your leveling...
**[10:07] Yumiella**
Don't worry.
**[10:09] Yumiella**
If I think you're in danger, I'll...
**[10:13] Yumiella**
back you up.
**[10:14] Alicia**
I'm still going to worry!
**[10:26] Alicia**
Huh? Wh-What just...
**[10:29] Yumiella**
You leveled up and gained the
ability to use a new spell.
**[10:33] Yumiella**
Let's keep it up.
**[10:47] Yumiella**
You're doing great!
**[10:53] Yumiella**
*This is a pleasure I can't experience anymore*
**[10:56] Yumiella**
*now that my level's maxed out.*
**[10:58] Yumiella**
*I envy her.*
**[11:01] Yumiella**
Oh, yeah. I forgot there was a pitfall here.
**[11:08] Alicia**
Ow...
**[11:21] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia, are you all right?
**[11:24] Alicia**
Yes...
**[11:25] Alicia**
I killed the monster, but I—
**[11:30] Yumiella**
I'll use a healing spell on you.
**[11:33] Alicia**
Huh? That's okay... I can use my own...
**[11:36] Yumiella**
No need to be shy.
**[11:37] Yumiella**
It's my apology for forgetting
about that pitfall.
**[11:49] Yumiella**
We've made it to the fiftieth
floor, and the final enemy.
**[11:52] Boss**
I am impressed.
**[11:54] Boss**
I never expected a human to reach
the deepest depths of my dungeon.
**[12:01] Yumiella**
Start by just doing the best you can.
**[12:03] Alicia**
I don't want to die... I don't want to die...
**[12:05] Boss**
Foolish adventurers! Come at me!
**[12:09] Yumiella**
Go on.
**[12:12] Yumiella**
I'm sorry. I forgot my own strength.
**[12:20] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia!
**[12:21] Alicia**
Grandma!
**[12:25] Alicia**
I don't want to die!
**[12:27] Alicia**
Sun Rain!
**[12:31] Alicia**
What? It didn't do anything?
**[12:33] Yumiella**
I don't think that spell
has any offensive power.
**[12:39] Boss**
Is that all the strength you've got?
**[12:48] Yumiella**
Maybe it's too soon for her
to handle a boss on her own.
**[12:53] Yumiella**
Yumiella Punch!
**[13:04] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia!
**[13:14] Yumiella**
It's all right. I finished off the boss.
**[13:17] Yumiella**
It looks like the Amulet
of Protection saved you.
**[13:22] Yumiella**
It only works once, though, so you
won't be able to use it again.
**[13:26] Yumiella**
Now, let's open the treasure chest.
**[13:30] Yumiella**
We can look forward to seeing what's in it.
**[13:35] Yumiella**
Luck is definitely on your side, Miss Alicia.
**[13:39] Yumiella**
Its a set of Amulets of Protection.
**[13:41] Yumiella**
I don't need them, so you can have them.
**[13:45] Alicia**
Thank you.
**[13:50] Alicia**
Wh-What is this?
**[13:51] Yumiella**
The light of transportation.
**[13:53] Yumiella**
This dungeon automatically
**[13:54] Yumiella**
transports you back to the surface
once you've conquered it.
**[14:06] Alicia**
Thanks, Miss Yumiella. I don't
know how to express my gratitude.
**[14:11] Yumiella**
Okay, you've had a potion.
**[14:14] Yumiella**
Put on another Amulet of Protection,
and we'll go in again.
**[14:17] Alicia**
Huh?
**[14:19] Yumiella**
You haven't beaten the boss,
so you can't say you've conquered it.
**[14:23] Yumiella**
Besides...
**[14:24] Yumiella**
You might as well raise your
level as high as you can.
**[14:33] Boss**
I am impressed.
**[14:34] Boss**
I never expected a human to reach
the deepest depths of my dungeon.
**[14:39] Yumiella**
* Alicia made several more attempts*
* to conquer the dungeon after that.*
**[14:46] Yumiella**
*Her level rose in the most fascinating way,*
**[14:50] Yumiella**
* and she acquired new*
* spells one after another.*
**[14:54] Yumiella**
* Just watching someone else get*
* so much stronger is exciting...*
**[14:58] Yumiella**
* but there's something abnormal about*
* how quickly she's leveling up.*
**[15:02] Yumiella**
* Is this the game plot's driving*
* force in action again?*
**[15:09] Yumiella**
Yumiella Kick!
**[15:11] Yumiella**
* But she still couldn't manage*
* to finish off the boss.*
**[15:18] Alicia**
I don't want to die.
**[15:20] Yumiella**
* The treasure chest she earned*
* after several attempts*
**[15:23] Yumiella**
* contained a bastard sword*
* of the dark attribute.*
**[15:27] Yumiella**
* Since Alicia's attribute is light,*
* she'd have trouble using it,*
**[15:31] Yumiella**
*so we agreed that I'd keep it.*
**[15:38] Yumiella**
* We received a wind spear*
* at one point, as well.*
**[15:43] Yumiella**
*I'll give this to Patrick as a souvenir.*
**[15:45] Boss**
I am impressed.
**[15:47] Boss**
I never expected a human to reach
the deepest depths of my dungeon.
**[15:54] Alicia**
I don't want to die!
**[16:08] Yumiella**
*And then, finally,*
**[16:10] Yumiella**
*Alicia defeated the boss on her own.*
**[16:14] Yumiella**
*That time, the chest contained a light sword.*
**[16:18] Yumiella**
* This will be a powerful weapon in*
* her battle against the Demon Lord.*
**[16:24] Yumiella**
Ow!
**[16:25] Yumiella**
*It looks like it reacts to dark magic.*
**[16:29] Yumiella**
* Even the sword thinks I'm the*
* Demon Lord. Now I'm just sad.*
**[16:35] Yumiella**
We've achieved our goal.
**[16:37] Yumiella**
I think that's enough for today.
**[16:40] Yumiella**
Well, Miss Alicia? Do you see
how fun leveling up is now?
**[16:45] Alicia**
Grandpa? But you died five years ago...
**[16:50] Alicia**
What? I'm not ready for this place yet?
**[16:59] Yumiella**
We still have time before curfew.
**[17:02] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia, why don't we go to where
the Demon Lord is and check things out?
**[17:08] Yumiella**
We can still get back to the academy
before curfew if we fly on Ryu.
**[17:12] Alicia**
D-Don't be crazy!
This isn't a sightseeing trip!
**[17:17] Alicia**
Wait... how do you know
where the Demon Lord is?
**[17:22] Yumiella**
* It's actually because I played*
* the game so many times...*
**[17:28] Yumiella**
It's my level 99 instincts.
Somehow, I just know which way to go.
**[17:33] Yumiella**
So we can at least confirm his location.
**[17:39] Yumiella**
Do you dislike animals, Miss Alicia?
**[17:45] Yumiella**
Come to think of it, you got along
nicely with that cat a while ago.
**[17:50] Yumiella**
Do you dislike high places, then?
**[17:56] Yumiella**
Then what are you so afraid of?
**[18:00] Alicia**
Wh-Where did this come from?!
**[18:03] Yumiella**
A bomb cyclone, maybe?
**[18:09] Yumiella**
Ryu.
**[18:23] Yumiella**
First a storm, then fog?
**[18:25] Yumiella**
What's going on?
**[18:27] Alicia**
Maybe the Demon Lord is trying to stop us.
**[18:30] Yumiella**
I don't sense him, though.
**[18:33] Yumiella**
This appears to be natural.
**[18:36] Yumiella**
Hm? We passed by here earlier...
**[18:39] Yumiella**
Ryu, be careful not to go the
wrong way. Go where I tell you to.
**[18:52] Yumiella**
*We're just flying around in circles.*
**[18:56] Yumiella**
*This isn't right.*
**[18:59] Yumiella**
* It might be the driving force*
* of the game's plot again.*
**[19:03] Yumiella**
* Maybe we can't get close to the Demon*
* Lord until it's the right time.*
**[19:09] Yumiella**
Ryu, let's turn back.
**[19:12] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia, we're heading
back to the academy.
**[19:15] Alicia**
Really?!
**[19:19] Yumiella**
Ryu.
**[19:24] Yumiella**
It'll be a pain to keep having
to catch her if we fly back.
**[19:28] Alicia**
Help me!
**[19:34] Student1**
Look!
**[19:36] Student2**
What's that?
**[19:43] Yumiella**
We've returned.
**[19:46] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia is safe.
**[19:51] Edwin**
Alicia!
**[19:53] Alicia**
Ed! Will! Oz!
**[19:58] Alicia**
I was so scared!
**[20:01] Edwin**
You're all right. Thank goodness.
**[20:04] William**
Where were you? We've been worried sick!
**[20:07] Oswald**
Come, now. Don't cry.
**[20:10] Patrick**
Nice job, Yumiella. Where in
the world did you find her?
**[20:14] Yumiella**
It's a long story.
**[20:17] Yumiella**
Here. For you.
**[20:19] Patrick**
For me?
**[20:22] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia, all of these
magic stones are yours.
**[20:26] William**
I'll take them for her.
**[20:28] William**
Th-These are heavy!
**[20:30] Edwin**
Miss Yumiella, thank you for finding her.
**[20:34] Edwin**
You have my deepest gratitude.
**[20:35] Oswald**
Your 99 levels saved the day. Thank you.
**[20:38] Alicia**
Thank you, Miss Yumiella!
**[20:41] Yumiella**
I didn't do anything deserving of thanks.
**[20:44] Yumiella**
More importantly, Ryu is hungry.
Do you have anything he can—
**[20:52] William**
Alicia!
**[20:53] Yumiella**
I guess he's grown fond of you
in the time we spent together.
**[21:08] Edwin**
Th-That's incredible, Alicia.
**[21:11] William**
She's stronger than us now.
**[21:13] Oswald**
I'd say she's as powerful as a palace mage.
**[21:18] Alicia**
I worked hard!
**[21:22] Edwin**
N-No! We don't have time for this!
**[21:25] Oswald**
We have to get stronger, too.
**[21:27] William**
Or Alicia's gonna leave us behind!
**[21:30] Patrick**
Looks like Miss Alicia
gained quite a few levels.
**[21:35] Yumiella**
I'm pretty sure she's well past level 50 now.
**[21:38] Yumiella**
But she's still not strong enough
to defeat the Demon Lord.
**[21:42] Yumiella**
And the higher her level is,
the harder it'll be to reach the next one.
**[21:46] Alicia**
Keep at it, Ed!
**[21:46] Yumiella**
So I think I'll take her to
a harder dungeon next time.
**[21:52] Patrick**
I think you'll make Alicia cry
again if you say that to her.
**[21:56] Yumiella**
It'll be fine. I think she understands
how fun leveling up is now.
**[22:02] Patrick**
I have to work harder, too.

**[00:00] Alicia**
*Grandma, how are you doing?*
**[00:03] Alicia**
*I'm doing great!*
**[00:07] Alicia**
*It's the second half of our second year,*
**[00:10] Alicia**

* progress with my magic.*
**[00:12] Alicia**

**[00:34] Alicia**

***SIGN*** Villainess Level 99
***SIGN*** I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord
**[02:20] Alastor**
Pardon me. Are you Miss Yumiella Dolkness?
**[02:23] Yumiella**
Yes, I am.
**[02:25] Alastor**
I'm from the kingdom's magic
tool development team.
**[02:28] Alastor**
I'd like you to assist with an experiment.
**[02:32] Alastor**
I've gotten the principal's
permission to do this.
**[02:35] Alastor**
We're free to use this room as we please.
**[02:40] Alastor**
This is our latest model
of magic-sealing shackles.
**[02:44] Alastor**
I'd like to see if they
can hold up to your magic.
**[02:48] Yumiella**
So now I just need to use my magic?
**[02:50] Alastor**
Yes. Raise the output gradually, please.
**[02:55] Yumiella**
All right.
**[03:09] Yumiella**
That was my full strength.
**[03:11] Yumiella**
This is an impressive magic tool.
**[03:14] Alastor**
All right, now!
**[03:17] Alastor**
Let's kill her quick and get out of here!
**[03:20] Alastor**
That stuff about a magic tool
experiment was all a lie!
**[03:22] Alastor**
I never thought you'd
fall for it that easily!
**[03:29] Alastor**
Huh?
**[03:31] Yumiella**
My physical strength is also level 99.
**[03:35] Alastor**
I-It was just a joke!
**[03:37] Alastor**
I appreciate your assistance
with our experiment.
**[03:40] Yumiella**
Do you really think that's going to fly?
**[03:46] Ronald**
Pretty dumb idea they had,
going after you like that.
**[03:50] Ronald**
Who do you think they were?
**[03:52] Yumiella**
I don't know.
**[03:53] Yumiella**
Maybe it's a scheme by Remlest
or some other country?
**[03:57] Ronald**
In any case, someone in the
school must have led them here.
**[04:01] Ronald**
It wouldn't hurt to be extra careful.
**[04:05] Yumiella**
All right.
**[04:07] Yumiella**
*Two days later, overnight...*
**[04:17] Assassin**
Huh?
**[04:18] Yumiella**
Um... You're some sort
of assassin, aren't you?
**[04:24] Yumiella**
I've been nearly assassinated twice now.
You should probably stay away from me.
**[04:31] Yumiella**
What's wrong, Patrick?
**[04:33] Patrick**
You're really okay with that?
**[04:36] Yumiella**
Huh? I'm just fine, as you can see.
**[04:39] Patrick**
I'm not worried about you dying,
**[04:42] Patrick**
but how can you be okay knowing
someone wants to kill you?
**[04:47] Yumiella**
* He's right. Somewhere deep inside,*
* I might be a little hurt.*
**[04:51] Yumiella**
*But the way it felt when they attacked...*
**[04:54] Yumiella**
* I feel like I've experienced*
* it many times before...*
**[04:57] Patrick**
You should stay with me for a while.
**[04:59] Patrick**
There's nothing you need to worry—
**[05:02] Yumiella**
It's the feeling I get
when fighting monsters.
**[05:05] Patrick**
Monsters?
**[05:06] Yumiella**
It's kill or be killed when
fighting monsters too, right?
**[05:09] Yumiella**
I guess I'm used to that sort of thing.
**[05:12] Patrick**
Uh, monsters and people aren't the—
**[05:15] Yumiella**
Watch out!
**[05:20] Yumiella**
I'll go catch who did this. You hide!
**[05:24] Patrick**
Yumiella!
**[05:29] Yumiella**
You'll pay for that. Targeting
me alone is one thing,
**[05:32] Yumiella**
but what if you had hit Patrick?
**[05:40] Yumiella**
If I stay at school, I'll put Patrick
and the other students in danger.
**[05:47] KidA**
Let's go, Demon Lord!
**[05:50] KidB**
Bring it on, hero!
**[05:51] KidC**
We're gonna turn the tables!
**[05:52] KidA**
Yah!
**[05:54] KidB**
I will not lose!
**[05:58] Yumiella**
* In this kingdom, people are detested*
* just for having dark hair.*
**[06:02] Yumiella**
* It happened to me when I*
* started at the academy, too.*
**[06:05] Yumiella**
*Then I had people doubting my level,*
**[06:08] Yumiella**
*and rumors that I was the Demon Lord.*
**[06:10] Yumiella**
* At that point, I don't think it*
* was about my hair color anymore.*
**[06:14] Yumiella**
You're not going to play with the others?
**[06:16] Phil**
Huh? Who are you?
**[06:18] Yumiella**
Just a passerby.
**[06:20] Yumiella**
What's wrong? Are they leaving you out?
**[06:23] Phil**
It's not that... It's just...
**[06:25] Phil**
You know, since my hair looks like this...
**[06:29] Yumiella**
Look.
**[06:31] Yumiella**
As you can see, my hair is black as night.
**[06:34] Yumiella**
But I have friends,
**[06:36] Yumiella**
and recently, I've been finding
more people I can talk to.
**[06:40] Yumiella**
Everyone avoided me at first,
**[06:43] Yumiella**
but little but little,
the distance has been closing.
**[06:47] Phil**
That's really cool.
**[06:49] Phil**
I don't have the guts to try
to make friends, though.
**[06:52] Yumiella**
I'm the same way. Mine spoke to me first.
**[06:56] Yumiella**
I had half given up on
getting close to anyone.
**[07:01] Yumiella**
But if I had tried to approach people myself,
**[07:06] Yumiella**
maybe it wouldn't have taken so long.
**[07:09] Phil**
Yeah, maybe... but...
**[07:13] Leader**
Hey there, miss.
**[07:14] Leader**
Yumiella Dolkness, right?
**[07:18] Phil**
Huh? What is it?
**[07:19] Leader**
Hey!
**[07:23] Yumiella**
Get away, all of you. It's dangerous.
**[07:25] Leader**
Enough of this! We'll all go for her at once!
**[07:32] Yumiella**
Dark Bind.
**[07:36] KidC**
Wow, cool!
**[07:37] KidA**
What was that?
**[07:38] KidC**
Are you a mage?
**[07:40] Yumiella**
So you're the leader of this group?
**[07:41] Yumiella**
Who sent you after me?
**[07:44] Leader**
H-Hell if I know!
**[07:45] Yumiella**
Understood.
**[07:47] Yumiella**
A show of cruelty here would set
a bad example for the kids...
**[07:51] Yumiella**
so why don't we take our
time talking over there?
**[07:54] Leader**
I seriously don't know! Some guy
hiding his face paid me to do this!
**[07:58] Leader**
I'm not lying! Please believe me!
**[08:01] KidA**
She's a real mage!
**[08:03] KidC**
I've never seen one before!
**[08:05] KidB**
Who was that lady?
**[08:06] Phil**
I don't know, but... she's so cool!
**[08:09] KidB**
Yeah, she is!
**[08:12] Rita**
And what happened after that?
**[08:14] Yumiella**
I tried threatening him a little, but
he really didn't seem to know anything.
**[08:19] Yumiella**
So I handed him over to the nearest
soldiers, as usual, and that was it.
**[08:25] Yumiella**
Hey, Rita... Are these the same
tea leaves you always use?
**[08:29] Rita**
Yes. They're the same ones as always.
**[08:32] Yumiella**
I see. Maybe I imagined it.
**[08:35] Yumiella**
Why don't you have a drink?
**[08:37] Rita**
Huh?
**[08:38] Rita**
U-Um...
**[08:42] Rita**
Please forgive me!
**[08:43] Yumiella**
So I was right. It's poisoned.
**[08:46] Rita**
My sister...
**[08:48] Rita**
They took my younger sister
hostage... I had to...
**[08:51] Yumiella**
What kind of poison did you use?
**[08:53] Rita**
I was told that one drop
would be a lethal dose...
**[08:56] Rita**
and I put in five drops every time.
**[08:58] Yumiella**
*I really should have picked up on that.*
**[09:01] Yumiella**
*No matter how bottomless my HP is...*
**[09:04] Yumiella**
And you were also the one who led
the assassins to the academy?
**[09:07] Rita**
Y-Yes.
**[09:09] Yumiella**
Who ordered you to?
**[09:11] Rita**
The master. Your father, Count Dolkness.
**[09:16] Yumiella**
Well, it did occur to me
that it might have been him.
**[09:21] Yumiella**
What's this about your
sister being a hostage?
**[09:23] Rita**
She works at your father's
mansion in the capital.
**[09:28] Rita**
Please, just spare my sister...
**[09:30] Yumiella**
All right. I'm going to go get your sister.
**[09:33] Yumiella**
Come with me.
**[09:36] Yumiella**
Where is the Dolkness mansion,
anyway? I've never been there.
**[09:40] Rita**
Over there, on the right side of that street.
**[09:47] Yumiella**
Do you know where your sister is?
**[09:49] Rita**
Normally, she'd be finished with
her work and back in her room.
**[09:53] Yumiella**
All right. Let's go.
**[09:59] Rita**
Sara!
**[10:00] Sara**
Sister?
**[10:03] Rita**
Thank goodness you're all right!
**[10:05] Sara**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[10:07] Sara**
Oh... Is that Miss Yumiella?
**[10:11] Yumiella**
Yes. You were being held
hostage by my parents.
**[10:15] Yumiella**
Rita said that if she didn't
kill me, they'd kill you.
**[10:19] Rita**
I'm sorry, Sara. I have to say
goodbye. Thank you for everything.
**[10:23] Sara**
Huh?
**[10:24] Rita**
My lady, I will assume full
responsibility for this.
**[10:28] Rita**
Please just spare my sister.
**[10:30] Yumiella**
*When did the story get to that point?*
**[10:33] Rita**
Do it quickly, in a place where
she can't see it, if possible.
**[10:36] Yumiella**
Wait, wait, wait. I'm not a demon.
**[10:39] Rita**
Huh?
**[10:40] Yumiella**
I have no intention of punishing you.
**[10:43] Yumiella**
You were being threatened.
**[10:45] Yumiella**
If I suffered any harm, it was
that the tea wasn't very good.
**[10:49] Rita**
My lady... no, Miss Yumiella, I will
be loyal to you until the day I die.
**[10:54] Yumiella**
Uh... Okay. Thanks.
**[10:57] Yumiella**
There's something I need to do. Wait here.
**[11:00] Rita**
Okay...
**[11:09] Yumiella**
Good evening.
**[11:11] Dad**
Who are you?
**[11:12] Yumiella**
Oh, should I have said "I'm home" instead?
**[11:16] Mom**
"Home"?
**[11:17] Dad**
You... It can't be...
**[11:19] Yumiella**
It's a pleasure to finally
meet you, Father, Mother.
**[11:23] Yumiella**
I'm your only daughter, Yumiella.
**[11:26] Yumiella**
The same Yumiella Dolkness you tried to use
for a political marriage and then kill.
**[11:33] Yumiella**
*Now that I've met them, I realize that*
**[11:36] Yumiella**
*I don't actually detest my parents that much.*
**[11:38] Yumiella**
* Of course, I'd say they're*
* not the greatest parents,*
**[11:41] Yumiella**
* but if they'd spoiled me throughout*
* my childhood, I wouldn't be who I am.*
**[11:45] Dad**
Damn those losers! I paid
them a lot of money, too!
**[11:49] Yumiella**
So you admit that you tried to kill me?
**[11:52] Dad**
This all started because *you* betrayed us!
**[11:55] Yumiella**
What do you mean, I "betrayed" you?
**[11:58] Dad**
I know you've been working with the
king's faction to prepare for war!
**[12:03] Yumiella**
Prepare for war?
**[12:04] Dad**
Yes! I know you're in on it!
**[12:07] Dad**
You stole the plan that we of the
anti-king faction came up with!
**[12:12] Mom**
We've been deeply shamed because
you took our enemy's side!
**[12:18] Yumiella**
*Ah... I'm starting to see what's going on.*
**[12:21] Yumiella**
* The kingdom is preparing its military*
* for the Demon Lord's invasion.*
**[12:26] Yumiella**
* The extremists must have mistaken that as*
* preparation for war with another country.*
**[12:31] Yumiella**
* They fear that this dispatch of troops*
* will empower the king's faction.*
**[12:37] Yumiella**
*The king has taken a liking to me,*
**[12:39] Yumiella**
* and I've refused all proposals*
* from the anti-king faction.*
**[12:43] Yumiella**
* So my parents thought assassinating*
* me would be better*
**[12:46] Yumiella**
*than handing me over to the enemy.*
**[12:49] Yumiella**
*That must be it.*
**[12:51] Yumiella**
There is no war with any other nation.
**[12:53] Yumiella**
I have no intention of taking part
in any strategic war, either.
**[12:56] Dad**
Why?!
**[12:57] Dad**
If you earned fame in battle, the Dolkness
family would earn a central position!
**[13:01] Mom**
We wouldn't be ridiculed as
"wannabe central nobles" anymore!
**[13:05] Yumiella**
Father, why don't you return to our domain?
**[13:08] Yumiella**
It may be a good idea to start
some sort of undertaking there.
**[13:11] Dad**
Don't be ridiculous. I've left my
administrator in charge of the domain.
**[13:15] Dad**
All we need to do there is collect taxes.
**[13:17] Yumiella**
What about you, Mother?
**[13:18] Mom**
You expect me to live in the countryside?
**[13:21] Mom**
It's bad enough that you have black hair!
**[13:23] Mom**
Why did I have to have a child like you?!
**[13:25] Yumiella**
*These two are hopeless.*
**[13:27] Yumiella**
* I never had any hope in them*
* as parents to begin with,*
**[13:30] Yumiella**
* but they're hopeless both*
* as nobles and as humans.*
**[13:35] Yumiella**
Father, yield your title to me.
**[13:38] Dad**
What are you—
**[13:39] Yumiella**
You're free to refuse.
I'm your only heir, after all.
**[13:43] Yumiella**
When you die, I will
automatically become a countess.
**[13:48] Dad**
S-Someone call the guards!
**[13:51] Yumiella**
You think there are any
guards who can best me?
**[13:53] Dad**
Are you threatening your father?!
**[13:55] Yumiella**
I don't need that from someone who
sent assassins after his own child.
**[13:59] Mom**
Y-Yumiella...
**[14:01] Mom**
You have received many
wonderful marriage offers.
**[14:04] Mom**
You'll be happy if you marry
into an important family.
**[14:06] Yumiella**
I'm plenty happy already.
**[14:09] Mom**
But you have black hair.
**[14:11] Mom**
There's no way you can be happy!
**[14:14] Yumiella**
There are people who say
they like my black hair.
**[14:18] Yumiella**
You don't get to decide whether
I can or can't be happy.
**[14:23] Yumiella**
Black Hole.
**[14:26] Yumiella**
Choose. House arrest, or an
honorable death here and now?
**[14:32] Yumiella**
*Not that I actually intend to kill them.*
**[14:37] Yumiella**
Well? What will it be?
**[14:41] Dad**
Okay! We'll do as you say!
**[14:44] Dad**
Just don't kill us, please!
**[14:48] King**
I understand what's going on.
**[14:50] King**
This must have been hard on you.
**[14:53] King**
But what change of heart persuaded you
to suggest taking over your domain?
**[14:57] Yumiella**
I want to do away with discrimination
against those with black hair.
**[15:01] Yumiella**
I felt the best way to do that would
be to act from a very visible position.
**[15:06] King**
I see. Your path will be
lined with thorns, though.
**[15:10] Yumiella**
The discrimination might not end right away,
**[15:12] Yumiella**
but I'd be satisfied just to lessen it a bit.
**[15:15] Yumiella**
In the same way that Prince
Edwin overcame his prejudice.
**[15:21] Yumiella**
There's one thing I learned from all this.
**[15:24] Yumiella**
I don't think I have it
in me to kill someone.
**[15:27] Patrick**
I'd say not.
**[15:29] Patrick**
You spared your parents,
**[15:31] Patrick**
and you even captured those
assassins instead of killing them.
**[15:34] Yumiella**
I've achieved the greatest
strength a human can attain,
**[15:36] Yumiella**
but I guess I still have a human heart.
**[15:39] Yumiella**
I worried about that at
times, so this was a relief.
**[15:42] Patrick**
I always thought you were
more human than anyone else.
**[15:47] Patrick**
Still, I'm impressed by your
resolve to become a countess.
**[15:50] Yumiella**
Yes, all thanks to a certain boy.
**[15:53] Patrick**
A boy?! What boy?!
**[15:55] Yumiella**
A kid around ten years old.
**[15:58] Yumiella**
He felt inferior because of his dark hair,
**[16:00] Yumiella**
and he was all alone.
**[16:02] Patrick**
Ten years old... I get it.
**[16:05] Yumiella**
That made me think I had to
change society as we know it.
**[16:08] Yumiella**
I know there are many
people who are struggling.
**[16:11] Patrick**
In that case, I'll do whatever I can to help.
**[16:14] Yumiella**
Thank you. There's something I
wanted to ask you regarding that...
**[16:18] Patrick**
Wh-What?
**[16:19] Yumiella**
My level may be high,
**[16:22] Yumiella**
but I don't know much about the world,
so I need someone at my side to help me.
**[16:26] Yumiella**
Now that I'm a countess, I need to
think about my successor, too.
**[16:31] Patrick**
S-Successor... Yeah, I guess so.
**[16:35] Yumiella**
So... Would you be my...
**[16:39] Patrick**
Yeah?
**[16:40] Yumiella**
Would you be...
**[16:42] Yumiella**
my adopted son?
**[16:43] Patrick**
Flump!
**[16:44] Yumiella**
You're a second son, so you don't need
to inherit your household, right?
**[16:47] Patrick**
You are *not* adopting me!
**[16:49] Yumiella**
Oh...
**[16:50] Yumiella**
I thought it'd be nice if
you and I became family...
**[16:54] Yumiella**
But I guess you don't want to, huh?
**[16:56] Patrick**
That's not what I'm saying!
**[16:58] Yumiella**
Well, then, why...
**[17:00] Yumiella**
Oh, I see!
**[17:01] Yumiella**
Don't worry. I'll retire really early.
**[17:04] Yumiella**
I won't pick on your wife or anything.
**[17:11] Yumiella**
* The seasons changed, and the*
* time of the harvest came.*
**[17:14] Yumiella**
* The Kingdom of Valschein's*
* Foundation Day Festival was held,*
**[17:17] Yumiella**
* and the king took the opportunity to*
* announce the Demon Lord's impending return.*
**[17:21] King**
The Demon Lord of the past will soon return.
**[17:25] King**
When he does, he will surely direct his
army of monsters to invade our kingdom.
**[17:31] King**
But there is no cause for concern.
**[17:33] King**
We have already made all the preparations
necessary for his return.
**[17:37] King**
My knight captain, Adolf,
**[17:39] King**
will serve as our army's supreme
commander against the monsters.
**[17:43] King**
And the second prince, Edwin,
will lead a small, elite force
**[17:48] King**
to fight and defeat the Demon Lord.
**[17:55] Yumiella**
* The time has finally come*
* for me to take center stage.*
**[17:59] Yumiella**
* But if this lessens the discrimination*
* against black-haired people at all,*
**[18:03] Yumiella**
*it might not be so bad.*
**[18:06] Patrick**
There you are.
**[18:08] Yumiella**
Patrick? What are you doing here?
**[18:10] Patrick**
I saw you from the window, so I came down.
**[18:13] Yumiella**
I'm impressed you spotted
me from that far away.
**[18:17] Patrick**
You noticed, huh?
**[18:18] Patrick**
The truth is, I made it to level 60.
**[18:20] Patrick**
I can see things farther away now.
**[18:22] Yumiella**
Level 60? That's the same as Captain Adolf!
**[18:27] Patrick**
Exactly. I was going to keep it
secret for a while longer, but...
**[18:31] Yumiella**
Oh... So the reason you've been
away from the academy so much...
**[18:34] Patrick**
I've been going into dungeons
whenever I had time.
**[18:38] Patrick**
The Amulet of Growth did the rest.
**[18:40] Yumiella**
Hang on! That's dangerous without
an Amulet of Protection!
**[18:44] Patrick**
Nope. You're the one who
told me I should use this.
**[18:48] Yumiella**
I know, but you still shouldn't!
**[18:51] Yumiella**
If anything happened to you, I'd...
**[18:53] Patrick**
That's exactly how I felt every
time you did something reckless.
**[18:58] Yumiella**
I'm... sorry.
**[19:02] Yumiella**
I'll try to be less reckless from now on.
**[19:05] Patrick**
I'm glad you understand.
**[19:08] Yumiella**
*What have I done that was reckless, though?*
**[19:13] Patrick**
Yumiella...
**[19:14] Patrick**
I have a favor to ask.
**[19:16] Patrick**
Would you let me join you
in fighting the Demon Lord?
**[19:18] Yumiella**
I can't.
**[19:20] Patrick**
So I'm still not strong enough?
**[19:22] Yumiella**
It's not that.
**[19:23] Yumiella**
I think your strengths would be best
utilized in large group combat.
**[19:27] Yumiella**
So I'd like you to fight
against the army of monsters.
**[19:31] Yumiella**
I won't be able to help there.
**[19:34] Patrick**
I see... Okay.
**[19:37] Yumiella**
Also...
**[19:38] Yumiella**
Do you know what they call the man
and woman who defeat the Demon Lord?
**[19:42] Patrick**
Yeah. The hero and the saint.
**[19:45] Yumiella**
If you want to start a new nation with me,
**[19:48] Yumiella**
then sure, we could fight together.
**[19:51] Patrick**
Nah, I definitely don't want that.
**[19:53] Patrick**
If you want to become queen, though,
I don't mind helping you out.
**[19:57] Yumiella**
You know I don't want that.
**[19:59] Patrick**
I sure do.
**[20:01] Yumiella**
Why were you in such a
hurry to raise your level?
**[20:04] Yumiella**
To be ready for the Demon Lord's return?
**[20:07] Patrick**
Because you...
**[20:08] Yumiella**
I what?
**[20:10] Patrick**
I... wanted to be even stronger than you.
**[20:13] Yumiella**
But why?
**[20:14] Yumiella**
Oh, because losing to me in class
all the time was upsetting you?
**[20:18] Yumiella**
But you know, a person's strength
isn't all that gives them value.
**[20:22] Patrick**
Remember what you said to that
guy who asked you to dance?
**[20:26] Patrick**
That you're only into men
who are stronger than you.
**[20:29] Yumiella**
Huh?
**[20:34] Yumiella**
Um... I just made that up as
an excuse to turn him down.
***SIGN*** The Hidden Boss Is Confessed To
**[20:38] Yumiella**
I don't actually feel that way.
**[20:42] Patrick**
I figured that was probably the case.
**[20:44] Patrick**
I just thought... if I
wanted to be by your side,
**[20:48] Patrick**
I'd need to be strong enough.
**[20:52] Patrick**
It's almost time for the fireworks.
**[20:55] Yumiella**
Hey, Patrick... Let's
play rock-paper-scissors.
**[20:58] Patrick**
Huh?
**[20:59] Yumiella**
Here. Rock, paper, scissors...
**[21:02] Yumiella/Patrick**
Shoot.
**[21:03] Patrick**
Where'd this come from? It's so
dark, I can't even tell who won.
**[21:07] Yumiella**
You did. Looks like you're better
than me at rock-paper-scissors.
**[21:12] Yumiella**
I guess I really do only like
people who are stronger than me.
**[21:27] Yumiella**
Patrick... the thing about it being
too dark to see was a lie, wasn't it?
**[21:35] Yumiella**
*As the new school year began,*
**[21:37] Yumiella**
* the invasion by the Demon Lord's*
* monster army was confirmed.*
**[21:41] Yumiella**
*At last, the Demon Lord was back.*
**[21:43] Yumiella**
* High-level students from the Royal Academy*
* were chosen to join the military.*
**[21:49] Yumiella**
*There were more than anyone expected,*
**[21:51] Yumiella**
* most likely because they had*
* been leveling up so efficiently.*
**[21:54] Yumiella**
* Of course, this one had dismal scores*
* in magic, so she's staying behind.*
**[21:59] Yumiella**
* And we of the punitive force headed*
* for the Demon Lord's stronghold.*
**[22:05] Yumiella**
*The final battle is at hand.*

**[00:07] Yumiella**
*With the return of the Demon Lord,*
**[00:09] Yumiella**
* an army of monsters is advancing*
* on the Kingdom of Valschein.*
**[00:14] Yumiella**
*Heading out to intercept them*

**[00:35] Yumiella**

**[00:39] Yumiella**
*but it's going smoothly this time.*
**[00:42] (Flashback) Patrick**
Please, just for today, wear
the Amulet of Protection.
**[00:46] (Flashback) Patrick**
I can't rest easy if you don't.
**[00:51] (Flashback) Yumiella**
Okay.
**[00:53] (Flashback) Yumiella**
You be careful, too.
**[01:02] Yumiella**
That's the Demon Lord's castle.
**[01:03] Yumiella**
Ryu, take us down.

**[02:51] Patrick**
Third platoon, stay back!
I'll make an earth wall!
**[03:04] Miles**
A dragon! There's a dragon now!
**[03:06] Patrick**
Don't falter! I'll go!
**[03:23] Patrick**
Don't let your guard down! Resume the attack!
**[03:28] Patrick**
*Yumiella, please be all right.*
**[03:35] William**
Well, we've finally come this far.
**[03:38] Edwin**
Let's show him how much
we've grown in two years.
**[03:41] Edwin**
Alicia, you're our trump card.
**[03:44] Edwin**
We'll be depending on your light magic.
**[03:47] Alicia**
Right.
**[03:49] Yumiella**
So, Miss Alicia, who here
do you like the most?
**[03:54] Edwin**
Is this really the time for that?!
**[03:57] Yumiella**
I apologize.
**[03:59] Yumiella**
* I was just trying to ease*
* everyone's nerves...*
**[04:01] Edwin**
Now, let's go!
**[04:06] Yumiella**
Ryu, go to Patrick.
**[04:08] Yumiella**
You're technically a monster, too.
**[04:10] Yumiella**
If you stay here, you could fall
under the Demon Lord's control.
**[04:44] Alicia**
Miss Yumiella, thank you for
all your help before.
**[04:47] Yumiella**
Huh? What brought that on?
**[04:50] Alicia**
You've helped me out so much, but I
hadn't found a chance to thank you.
**[04:55] Alicia**
Let's do our best together.
**[04:57] Yumiella**
Oh... Sure. Good luck.
**[05:00] Yumiella**
*I really need her to do her best.*
**[05:03] Yumiella**
* At both defeating the Demon*
* Lord and marrying Edwin.*
**[05:06] Yumiella**
*I'm planning to leave that all to you.*
**[05:10] William**
This place sure is creepy, though.
**[05:13] Oswald**
How is there a castle in
a place like this, anyway?
**[05:16] Edwin**
This area used to be part
of a rather large domain.
**[05:20] Edwin**
No one has been able to enter
it for a long time, though.
**[05:24] Oswald**
A domain?
**[05:25] William**
You mean some noble used to live here?
**[05:29] Edwin**
Yes, but bizarrely, there's no mention
of them in the royal records.
**[05:35] Edwin**
I've searched old manuscripts and
records from all over the kingdom,
**[05:38] Edwin**
hoping I could find some
hints about the Demon Lord.
**[05:43] Alicia**
Wait, so back when we first met...
**[05:46] Edwin**
Yeah.
**[05:47] Edwin**
I thought the Royal Academy,
founded by the first king,
**[05:50] Edwin**
might have some sort of hidden records.
**[05:55] Yumiella**
We're here.
**[05:57] Yumiella**
This is it.
**[06:22] Oswald**
No!
**[06:23] William**
We fell for it!
**[06:24] Alicia**
Ed!
**[06:25] Edwin**
Alicia!
**[06:34] Demon Lord**
Foolish humans.
**[06:39] Edwin**
The Demon Lord...
**[06:43] William**
Ed!
**[06:44] Oswald**
Don't worry about us!
**[06:46] Alicia**
Just fight the Demon Lord!
**[06:49] Yumiella**
Prince Edwin, please stay behind me.
**[06:52] Demon Lord**
Oh? This boy is royalty of Valschein, is he?
**[06:56] Demon Lord**
Don't think your death will be painless.
**[06:58] William**
Ed!
**[06:59] Alicia**
Be careful!
**[07:00] Demon Lord**
Quiet, you little pests!
**[07:06] Yumiella**
Dark Flame!
**[07:12] Demon Lord**
Oh?
**[07:16] Alicia**
Holy Lance!
**[07:18] Oswald**
Fourth-generation elemental
magic: Composite Attack!
**[07:45] Edwin**
Alicia! Will! Oz!
**[07:48] Yumiella**
* I guess their levels weren't high enough*
* to fight the Demon Lord head-on.*
**[07:54] Yumiella**
*This throws off the plan.*
**[07:57] Yumiella**
* I can't let Alicia or the*
* boys do anything dangerous.*
**[08:03] Demon Lord**
Your name?
**[08:04] Yumiella**
Yumiella Dolkness.
**[08:07] Demon Lord**
I'm impressed you were able to
break my binding magic.
**[08:11] Demon Lord**
And you appear to be of the
dark attribute, as well.
**[08:15] Demon Lord**
Why not abandon these silly
humans and work with me?
**[08:20] Yumiella**
I decline. I have no reason
to do such a thing.
**[08:24] Demon Lord**
You defy me, then?
**[08:31] Demon Lord**
This will happen to you, too.
**[08:34] Edwin**
Alicia!
**[08:35] Yumiella**
Your Highness, don't!
**[08:36] Demon Lord**
Shadow Lance.
**[08:49] Yumiella**
*I have to fight him. It's the only way.*
**[08:52] Yumiella**
* Defeating the Demon Lord is*
* my top priority right now.*
**[08:55] Demon Lord**
Dark Bind.
**[09:00] Yumiella**
Shadow Lance!
**[09:02] Demon Lord**
Have you lost your mind?
**[09:06] Yumiella**
I assumed you'd do that.
**[09:07] Demon Lord**
What?!
**[09:11] Yumiella**
*Since Alicia's attribute is light,*
**[09:12] Yumiella**
*she has a resistance to dark magic.*
**[09:15] Yumiella**
Dark Bind.
**[09:16] Yumiella**
* I knew she'd take no damage as*
* long as I restrained my power.*
**[09:35] Demon Lord**
Your strength is on a different
level than all the others.
**[09:39] Demon Lord**
How about it? Change your
mind and take my side?
**[09:43] Yumiella**
I told you, I will not.
**[09:45] Demon Lord**
Your hair color...
**[09:47] Demon Lord**
You may have some connection
to the former, human me.
**[09:51] William**
Is he saying he used to be a human?
**[09:55] Demon Lord**
What story do they tell about
how this nation came to be?
**[09:58] Yumiella**
The hero and the saint defeated the
Demon Lord and built the kingdom.
**[10:04] Demon Lord**
The hero and the saint, eh?
**[10:06] Demon Lord**
Those two boors?
**[10:08] Yumiella**
Boors?
**[10:09] Demon Lord**
Before the formation of
the Kingdom of Valschein,
**[10:12] Demon Lord**
these lands were embroiled in an age of war,
**[10:15] Demon Lord**
but your first king unified
them and built a new nation.
**[10:19] Demon Lord**
And I was his closest aide.
**[10:24] Demon Lord**
I devoted my utmost loyalty to my king,
**[10:27] Demon Lord**
but he feared my power and sent me
out here to the middle of nowhere.
**[10:31] Demon Lord**
No... my power was the only
thing he really wanted.
**[10:37] Demon Lord**
Not only that, but he branded me
a traitor and tried to kill me.
**[10:43] Demon Lord**
My rage and hatred turned
me into the Demon Lord.
**[10:47] Demon Lord**
And then I launched my counterattack
in order to destroy the human world.
**[10:53] Demon Lord**
The battle raged on for quite a long time,
**[10:56] Demon Lord**
but in the end, they sealed me with
the secret arts of ancient times.
**[11:01] Demon Lord**
I continued to burn with rage
and hatred toward the humans
**[11:04] Demon Lord**
as I waited for the seal to break.
**[11:09] Edwin**
So that's why there were no records?
**[11:11] Yumiella**
* Since I played the game,*
* I actually knew that whole story.*
**[11:18] Yumiella**
I believe the first king was entirely
to blame for what happened back then.
**[11:22] Yumiella**
But things are different now.
**[11:25] Demon Lord**
People are ostracized and envied
because of their strength.
**[11:29] Demon Lord**
I've even heard that black
hair was first regarded
**[11:32] Demon Lord**
as a bad omen while I was battling the king.
**[11:36] Demon Lord**
Because my hair, as you can see, is black.
**[11:40] Demon Lord**
Humans are still foolish, no matter the age.
**[11:44] Demon Lord**
You must realize this yourself.
**[11:47] Yumiella**
I can't say you're wrong,
**[11:49] Yumiella**
but the current king and queen accepted
me from the moment they met me.
**[11:55] Yumiella**
I've even made friends.
**[11:57] Yumiella**
And I have no intention of forsaking them.
**[12:00] Demon Lord**
Human hearts change.
**[12:03] Demon Lord**
What if the people you're
protecting betray you one day?
**[12:09] Yumiella**
I think I'd run away.
**[12:11] Yumiella**
If that would bring them
happiness, I'd accept it.
**[12:17] Yumiella**
Why don't you run away? There's still time.
**[12:20] Yumiella**
Go somewhere far away, and let
everyone think you're dead.
**[12:23] Demon Lord**
That may work just as well,
but it's no longer an option.
**[12:31] Demon Lord**
Because I have lived for such a long time
**[12:35] Demon Lord**
so that I could see my
hatred through to the end!
**[12:40] Yumiella**
I understand. It seems we must fight, then.
**[12:45] Demon Lord**
Die, humans!
**[12:48] Demon Lord**
I will bury all of you in darkness along
with this boy of Valschein's royal blood!
**[12:53] Demon Lord**
Black Hole!
**[12:56] Demon Lord**
Black Hole!
**[13:03] Yumiella**
Now I have no choice.
**[13:23] Demon Lord**
Don't make that face.
**[13:25] Demon Lord**
This is what I wanted.
**[13:31] Alicia**
Holy Shield!
**[13:35] Alicia**
Miss Yumiella, hurry!
**[13:37] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia? You really are the heroine.
**[13:59] Oswald**
We... won, right?
**[14:01] William**
Yeah, though us guys didn't
really do anything useful.
**[14:07] Edwin**
Miss Yumiella Dolkness.
**[14:09] Edwin**
Well done.
**[14:11] Edwin**
The kingdom is saved, thanks to you.
**[14:14] Yumiella**
No, this victory belongs to all of us.
**[14:19] Edwin**
I'm happy to hear you say that,
**[14:21] Edwin**
but you're the one who actually
defeated the Demon Lord.
**[14:24] William**
That's right. Don't be modest.
**[14:26] Oswald**
Looks like a new saint is born.
**[14:31] Yumiella**
No, it was you who led us, Your Highness.
**[14:34] Yumiella**
And Miss Alicia fought bravely...
**[15:01] Edwin**
Stop, Alicia!
**[15:02] William**
What are you doing, Alicia?!
**[15:04] Oswald**
What in the world are you thinking?!
**[15:06] Edwin**
Let me go. I have to kill her.
**[15:10] Edwin**
Why?! What is this all about?!
**[15:12] Alicia**
I don't know, but...
**[15:14] Yumiella**
* Of course... The game's*
* plot is driving Alicia*
**[15:19] Yumiella**
* to do things she would*
* never do of her own will.*
**[15:24] Yumiella**
* In the game, after the*
* Demon Lord is defeated,*
**[15:27] Yumiella**
* I show up as the hidden boss*
* and get killed by Alicia.*
**[15:31] Yumiella**
*The defeat of the Demon Lord*
**[15:33] Yumiella**
* and the fact that I was*
* standing right in front of her*
**[15:37] Yumiella**
*fulfilled the event conditions,*
**[15:39] Yumiella**
* leading Alicia to automatically recognize*
* Yumiella Dolkness as an enemy*
**[15:43] Yumiella**
*and attack me.*
**[15:45] Yumiella**
*And with a light blade...*
**[15:47] Yumiella**
* If not for the Amulet of Protection,*
* I'd have died instantly.*
**[15:50] Yumiella**
*Thank you, Patrick.*
**[15:53] Edwin**
What's wrong with you, Alicia?!
**[15:55] Alicia**
Let me go.
**[16:10] Edwin**
Are you all right?
**[16:12] Yumiella**
Yes. The amulet saved me.
**[16:15] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia must have been cursed by the
Demon Lord right before he disappeared.
**[16:20] Oswald**
A curse! That explains it!
**[16:23] Edwin**
That damned coward!
**[16:25] Yumiella**
*It's not really the truth,*
**[16:27] Yumiella**
*but I had to say it to smooth all this over.*
**[16:30] Yumiella**
* Sorry, Demon Lord, but I need*
* you to take the fall for this.*
**[16:36] William**
Alicia! Are you back to your senses?
**[16:38] Alicia**
No... I can't control my...
**[16:42] Edwin**
Alicia!
**[16:43] Alicia**
My body... My body won't listen to me!
**[16:47] Alicia**
Miss Yumiella, please run!
**[16:51] Yumiella**
*Can I afford to restrain my power right now?*
**[16:55] Yumiella**
* If I counter carelessly,*
* I could end up killing her.*
**[16:59] Yumiella**
*What do I do?*
**[17:05] Yumiella**
Prince Edwin, please stop Miss Alicia.
**[17:08] Edwin**
Of course!
**[17:09] Edwin**
Alicia!
**[17:11] Yumiella**
Hold her tighter!
**[17:13] Edwin**
Stop this, Alicia!
**[17:17] Edwin**
Alicia, if you must stab someone, stab me!
**[17:21] Yumiella**
Nice, Edwin! That's why you're the real hero!
**[17:25] Yumiella**
You two say something to her, too!
**[17:28] Oswald**
Don't let the Demon Lord's curse beat you!
**[17:30] William**
Muster up all your strength!
**[17:32] Yumiella**
Miss Alicia, can you hear their voices?
**[17:36] Yumiella**
The voices of your friends,
who care about you?
**[17:39] Yumiella**
You mustn't lose.
**[17:41] Yumiella**
Take back the power of love
and friendship right now!
**[17:44] William**
Alicia! I...
**[17:47] Oswald**
Alicia! I...
**[17:49] Edwin**
Alicia! I love you!
**[17:57] Edwin**
Have you awakened, my princess?
**[17:59] Alicia**
Yes... I'm all right now.
**[18:02] Yumiella**
The love between you two and
the friendship you all share
**[18:05] Yumiella**
broke the Demon Lord's curse.
**[18:07] Yumiella**
How wonderful. We must applaud the
birth of the new hero and saint.
**[18:15] Yumiella**
* It looks like the prince's love was*
* just the thing to awaken the heroine.*
**[18:21] Yumiella**
* But I really don't think*
* I can fill that role.*
**[18:25] Yumiella**
*I don't want to, either.*
**[18:27] Yumiella**
* Looks like the game plot's*
* driving force is gone now.*
**[18:31] Yumiella**
*I guess it's a happy ending.*
**[18:41] Oswald**
We defeated the Demon Lord,
but it looks like he wants more.
**[18:45] William**
Fine by me! I'm in the
mood to kick a little ass!
**[18:49] Edwin**
Alicia, can you fight?
**[18:51] Alicia**
Yeah, I'm fine!
**[18:57] Edwin**
Let's go!
**[18:59] William**
Strike down the evil before me
and bring justice to the land!
**[19:03] Oswald**
Flames, burn this foe who
brings disaster to ashes!
**[19:11] Edwin**
We will not fail to protect...
**[19:13] Alicia**
...this kingdom and its people!
**[19:19] Yumiella**
* William and Oswald get to take out*
* their frustration at being rejected,*
**[19:23] Yumiella**
* while Edwin and Alicia*
* use the power of love...*
**[19:26] Yumiella**
*They're all really letting loose.*
**[19:29] Yumiella**
* They probably want to make up for not*
* doing much against the Demon Lord, too.*
**[19:35] Yumiella**
Uh, thanks...
**[19:37] Alicia**
I'm sorry for what I did
earlier, Miss Yumiella.
**[19:40] Alicia**
Is your wound all right?
**[19:41] Yumiella**
Oh, uh...
**[19:43] Yumiella**
I mean, it'll probably take
a while to fully heal.
**[19:48] Alicia**
Don't worry!
**[19:50] Alicia**
I'll fight hard enough for the both of us!
**[19:54] Edwin**
Alicia!
**[19:56] Alicia**
Ed, I'm coming!
**[19:58] Yumiella**
*That heroine smile...*
**[20:02] Yumiella**
* I'm actually pretty much fully*
* healed, since I used a healing spell.*
**[20:07] Yumiella**
* So I could take out all these*
* monsters if I wanted to, but...*
**[20:11] Yumiella**
*I'll give the boys a chance to shine.*
**[20:14] Yumiella**
*For the sake of a new legend.*
**[20:18] Yumiella**
Yumiella Punch.
**[20:27] Patrick**
Over there, Ryu!
**[20:45] Patrick**
Yumiella! Are you okay?!
**[20:47] Yumiella**
Patrick!
**[20:49] Patrick**
And the Demon Lord?!
**[20:50] Yumiella**
It's okay. Things got a bit
dicey, but we managed to win.
**[20:55] Yumiella**
All of us together, of course.
**[20:57] Patrick**
I see! Thank goodness!
**[20:59] Edwin**
Ashbatten, what about the army of monsters?
**[21:02] Patrick**
We've taken out most of them.
**[21:04] Patrick**
I'm here on Captain Adolf's orders.
**[21:07] Edwin**
I see.
**[21:14] Becky**
Do you think this will be enough?
**[21:17] Eleonora**
Here's a potion for you.
**[21:19] Soldier**
Oh... Thanks.
**[21:26] Eleonora**
Miss Yumiella!
**[21:28] Eleonora**
You're all right! I knew you would be!
**[21:31] Yumiella**
Thank you.
**[21:33] Yumiella**
I appreciate all your effort
as well, Miss Eleonora.
**[21:37] Edwin**
Brave men and women of
the Kingdom of Valschein!
**[21:40] Edwin**
We, the punitive force,
have defeated the Demon Lord!
**[21:46] Edwin**
The danger is gone! We are victorious!
**[21:55] Patrick**
Are you sure you shouldn't
be up there with them?
**[21:59] Yumiella**
I'd rather be here.
**[22:10] Yumiella**
* And thus our battle against*
* the Demon Lord came to an end.*
**[22:13] Yumiella**
* A lot of things happened*
* that I didn't expect,*
**[22:16] Yumiella**
*but what's important is that we won.*
**[22:21] Yumiella**
* Edwin reported the details*
* of the battle to the king.*
**[22:24] Yumiella**
* Alicia might not be entirely exempt*
* from punishment for stabbing me,*
**[22:31] Yumiella**
* but I personally explained that*
* she'd been cursed by the Demon Lord,*
**[22:35] Yumiella**
*so her penalty should be light.*
**[22:38] Yumiella**
* As for the granting of the*
* titles of hero and saint...*
**[22:40] Yumiella**
*They're being put on hold for now.*
**[22:43] Yumiella**
*And I returned to my peaceful academy life.*
**[22:47] Yumiella**
* I spar with William and Oswald*
* sometimes, per their request.*
**[22:52] Yumiella**
*One year remains until graduation.*
**[22:55] Yumiella**
* After that, I'll return to the*
* Dolkness home and manage the domain.*
**[22:59] Yumiella**
* I'm sure that'll be a*
* challenge in its own way,*
**[23:02] Yumiella**
* but I still have a little more time*
* to just be a carefree student.*
**[23:06] Patrick**
Where are we headed today, Yumiella?
**[23:09] Yumiella**
I found a dungeon to the north that
I've never been in. We're going there.
**[23:13] Patrick**
We're off school today,
and you still want to level up?
**[23:17] Yumiella**
I'm already level 99, but there are
still rare items I haven't found.
**[23:22] Yumiella**
Besides, I want to help you
get stronger. Is that wrong?
**[23:29] Patrick**
Okay, I get it. Do whatever you want.
**[23:32] Yumiella**
Yay!
**[23:33] Yumiella**
Ryu, let's go!
