***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.
***SIGN*** Villainess Level 99
***SIGN*** I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord
**[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!
