SIGN    The Hidden Boss Battles the Demon Lord
[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
[00:16] Yumiella
    are an alliance of the kingdom's forces and
    the nobles, led by Captain Adolf, and...
[00:21] Yumiella
    the students selected from the Royal Academy.
[00:28] Yumiella
    We of the punitive force are heading for
    the Demon Lord's castle to slay him.
[00:35] Yumiella
    I couldn't get there before due to
    the driving force of the game's plot,
[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!
