[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
    and I've made a lot of
    progress with my magic.
[00:12] Alicia
    I even exchanged the magic stones I got
    in a dungeon for a new magic tool.
[00:19] Alicia
    Thanks to the help of those around
    me, I'm actually getting by.
[00:34] Alicia
    I can't talk about it in detail yet,
[00:37] Alicia
    but my friends and I plan to work together
[00:38] Alicia
    and do our best to help
    a whole lot of people.
[00:42] Yumiella
    Looks like Alicia and her
    friends are leveling up nicely.
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.
