1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Our story begins in the dark castle of the current

2
00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Demon Lord of this era. The outward appearance and atmosphere

3
00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>of the castle were harsh and unforgiving, befitting the presiding

4
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.279
<v Speaker 1>Lord tonight is vastly different from a normal one. The

5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.119
<v Speaker 1>massive gates of the Demon Lord's chambers have been forcefully

6
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>kicked open. A sinister smile crept up on the Demon

7
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:20.559
<v Speaker 1>Lord's mouth, as there was only one person who could

8
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>have gotten this far into her domain, the legendary hero.

9
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.679
<v Speaker 1>That's right, the brave Hero has finally reached the last

10
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 1>step of any hero's mission, and that's entering the Demon

11
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 1>Lord's throne room and presumably fighting to the death. This

12
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>means that this era's hero is not only strong, but

13
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 1>courageous enough to come and challenge the overlord of the

14
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>powerful demon race. The Demon Lord gave her praise to

15
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:44.359
<v Speaker 1>the hero for toughing it out and braving his way

16
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>to get this far. It is brave, stupid, and most

17
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>likely the final act that he will ever do in

18
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.479
<v Speaker 1>his life. But before the exchanging of blows, drawing of blood,

19
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 1>gritting of teeth even happens in the supposed final fight,

20
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 1>the sound of a blade dropping to the cold, hard

21
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>floors can already be heard. This was not what the

22
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Demon Lord was expecting at all. She was all in

23
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>on fighting tooth and nail to prevail against the champion

24
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 1>of the human race, after all. Instead, what she got

25
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>was a young man with crimson hair and dead eyes,

26
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 1>crying while laughing like a crazy person. He looked disheveled

27
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and tired. Instead of the perfect picture of a valiant

28
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 1>hero challenging the evil overlord, this guy was stumbling and

29
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 1>mumbling his words to just end him now. So, in

30
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.120
<v Speaker 1>a bizarre twist of fate, no fights happened that night.

31
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>The hero was instead pulled into the demon Lord's lap

32
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.359
<v Speaker 1>as she pats his head with one hand while smoking

33
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 1>a cigarette on the other. She asserted that in life,

34
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>both good and bad things happen. Giving up your own

35
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 1>after one or two bad events is never the way

36
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:48.239
<v Speaker 1>to go. She inwardly thought that humans are such cruel creatures,

37
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and this boy is evidence of that. They forced a

38
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>seventeen year old, handsome boy to fight against an all

39
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 1>powerful being, a demon lord like her. The poor young

40
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 1>man was pulled out from a different world and was

41
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>forced to risk his own life to protect a stupid king,

42
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>his poorly treated slaves, and the endlessly corrupt kingdom. And

43
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.919
<v Speaker 1>so this is how the story of a depressed hero

44
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and the demon Queen started. Where will this story go,

45
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but it will definitely be interesting. Without

46
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 1>any special reason, the demon Queen has decided to take

47
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>care of the handsome young hero for now. She went

48
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 1>as far as tending to him, giving him a comfortable

49
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.719
<v Speaker 1>bed to sleep on, while she spends her day sitting nearby,

50
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 1>just lounging around and chainsmoking. Still, the irony was not

51
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 1>lost on her. She was the demon lord of this

52
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>realm after all. Helping the hero whose main quest is

53
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>to ultimately kill her is a little odd, to say

54
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 1>the least. After some time, the young man had finally

55
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>opened his tired and bloodshot eyes slowly. The first thing

56
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 1>he did was ask where he was, and he immediately

57
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 1>heard a familiar voice perk up nearby. He thought that

58
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 1>he had finally fulfilled his wish to die and was

59
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>just chilling in paradise. Now. That thought made him contort

60
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:58.599
<v Speaker 1>his mouth into a weird looking smile combined with his

61
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>dead eyes. The daemon lord saw this and jumped in fright.

62
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 1>This young man had such a creepy smile. Once he

63
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>finally realized that he was not alone in this room,

64
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 1>he also jumped in fright and promptly asked if Madame

65
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Demon Lord had also somehow died and joined him in paradise.

66
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>She quickly dispelled that assumption. Though the depressed Hero felt

67
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>his body's various injuries and reckoned that he was still alive,

68
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the next question in his mind was where in the

69
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>hell he really was. She casually explained that they are

70
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>in one of the rooms of the Demon Lord's castle.

71
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>On account of the Hero crying so much that his

72
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.039
<v Speaker 1>eyes turned as red as his hair and eventually fell

73
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 1>asleep on her lap. That's when the demon Queen herself

74
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>carried him over to rest in this room. Now that

75
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>he was given the rundown of the situation, the next

76
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>thing he wants to know is when does this woman

77
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>plan to finally kill him. She lazily answered that there

78
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>won't be any killing happening. She just won't kill the hero,

79
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.560
<v Speaker 1>at least not now. Instead of feeling relief from hearing

80
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 1>that he gets to keep his life, he looked even

81
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 1>more down trodden and disappointed. Instead, the halls of the

82
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Demon Lord's castle looked dark and bleak, the only source

83
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.199
<v Speaker 1>of light in the room being the moonlight from the

84
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>open windows and the spark of the Demon Queen's cigarette.

85
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>As she walked through her domain, she couldn't help but

86
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>ponder just what in the world was wrong with this hero. Also,

87
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>he's been here for quite some time now, and she

88
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 1>doesn't even know his name. Thinking about him constantly got

89
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 1>her blushing just a little bit. That guy was weird,

90
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 1>or maybe she got it all wrong and she was

91
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 1>the one being weird in this scenario. She was running

92
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.319
<v Speaker 1>errands all around the castle when she was halted by

93
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the sight of a bright light coming from the front.

94
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>On the massive balcony on one side of the castle

95
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>stood the young man that she rescued. He was just

96
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>standing there, unmoving, like a statue, under the bright light

97
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 1>of the shining stars and the night sky. It made

98
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the Demon Queen pause. She walked closer and asked the

99
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>hero if he was enjoying the stars tonight. The young

100
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.480
<v Speaker 1>man barely paid any attention to her, let alone her

101
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>casual question. He just gave a nonchalant high. Then the

102
00:04:58.279 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>young man stated that when he looks at the star

103
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 1>he remembers one of his good friends. To that personal

104
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>bit of information, the Demon Queen did not know how

105
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>to respond. She might not know what words to say,

106
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 1>but the beauty of the night sky reflected upon her

107
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 1>eye and beautiful face were plenty enough as a response.

108
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>The Demon Queen thought that this might just be the

109
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>right time to ask the hero his name. The brief

110
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.000
<v Speaker 1>look of life in his eyes was gone once again.

111
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.959
<v Speaker 1>After hearing that question. He had almost forgotten his original name.

112
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 1>Everyone in this world just calls him a hero. Sometimes

113
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 1>people call him hey, or kill the monster, or little

114
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 1>shit or untalented dumbass monster, and many more. Demon Queen

115
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>reeled him back a little and clarified that she wanted

116
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.399
<v Speaker 1>to know what his parents named him. That clears things

117
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>up nicely, The Hero's name is a Tommy. While still

118
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 1>looking up at the stars, not letting her eyes let

119
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 1>go for a second, the Demon Queen wanted to present

120
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.879
<v Speaker 1>Etami with an offer. Hearing those words come out of

121
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>her mouth in such a sultry voice made the depressed

122
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>hero blush. His tears were starting to well up again.

123
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>For some reason. She noticed this and was confused once again.

124
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.480
<v Speaker 1>It seems like this guy really likes crying every time

125
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.959
<v Speaker 1>they interact with each other. Etami started trying his hardest

126
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:09.959
<v Speaker 1>to wipe the tears away, but they just kept on

127
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.160
<v Speaker 1>flowing out. It's just that in this cruel world, he

128
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.199
<v Speaker 1>was called by his original name only two times. He

129
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.160
<v Speaker 1>was just glad to hear it again after a long time.

130
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>She did not think that it was that big of

131
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.079
<v Speaker 1>a deal. She did not think that the human world

132
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 1>had been even harsher on this young man than she

133
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 1>initially thought. Demon Queen wanted to continue what she wanted

134
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 1>to say. When she was about to call him Hero,

135
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 1>she made the conscious decision to stop herself midway through.

136
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:36.839
<v Speaker 1>She wanted to call him by his real name, not

137
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 1>by the name entitle that the Kingdom has forcefully thrust

138
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>upon him. Etami, the sympathetic Demon Queen, took a quick

139
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 1>step back, turning to Atami with a wide smile that

140
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>flashed her adorably terrifying monster fang. With her arms stretched wide.

141
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.079
<v Speaker 1>Along with that beautiful smile on that blushing face, her

142
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>demonic wings did not look so grim at all. She

143
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.959
<v Speaker 1>announced that starting today, Etami is free to live in

144
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>her castle and serve the role of being her personal bodyguard.

145
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.720
<v Speaker 1>She promised that everyone would be calling him by his

146
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>real name from now on. The sight of this supposedly

147
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.879
<v Speaker 1>ruthless demon overlord looked more like an angel sent from above.

148
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>In Etami's perspective. Every time she says his name, his

149
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>broken heart repairs itself bit by bit. And when she

150
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.959
<v Speaker 1>finally said that he would be happy here, the tears

151
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>that were born from grief and debilitating sadness were replaced

152
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.839
<v Speaker 1>with tears of comfort and hope. For the second time

153
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.319
<v Speaker 1>in his life, Etami's wounded heart and soul began to heal,

154
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>ever so slightly. The emotion filled night has passed and

155
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.360
<v Speaker 1>the sun has risen on the Demon Lord's castle. Ittami

156
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>and the Queen were walking the halls together. It's a

157
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>good thing that the demons in here don't know how

158
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the hero actually looks. Like this way, Etami can freely

159
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.120
<v Speaker 1>roam the castle under the guise of a new human ally.

160
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.199
<v Speaker 1>That last bit of information came quite as a surprise.

161
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>He did not know that the demon faction had human

162
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.319
<v Speaker 1>allies to the point of making it possible for him

163
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>to roam the castle without any demon batting an eye.

164
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 1>She confirmed that they do have some arrangements with a

165
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 1>few selected humans. Besides Atami, there are three more people

166
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.639
<v Speaker 1>that are formerly members of the Demon Lord army, though

167
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>they are in human kingdoms right now as spies. On

168
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>an unrelated note, she actually wanted to bring up something

169
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>extremely important to Atami. She looked at him and only

170
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>now noticed the sorry state of the young man. This

171
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>guy was wearing a tattered, homeless hoodie and shitty pants.

172
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>His whole fit was cooked from head to toe. It

173
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>was abysmal. The Demon Queen's eyes lingered on his hands.

174
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:30.839
<v Speaker 1>They were full of battle scars from who knows how

175
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:34.399
<v Speaker 1>many death defying duels that he endured. When she continued

176
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.639
<v Speaker 1>scanning him up and down, she just had to ask

177
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 1>how many times and when was the last time this

178
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:42.519
<v Speaker 1>young man had even changed his clothes. Iami meekly explained

179
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:44.519
<v Speaker 1>that he hasn't had the chance to change clothes since

180
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>arriving in this foreign world. That cannot be possible, as

181
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.399
<v Speaker 1>far as the Demon Queen knows. The hero was summoned

182
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.039
<v Speaker 1>two years ago and the human king announced his arrival

183
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 1>to shock the entire world. Back then, that was actually

184
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.639
<v Speaker 1>false information, as Etami arrived in this foreign world two

185
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.440
<v Speaker 1>and a half years ago. For the first confusing half

186
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>year in this place, he was chained to a table

187
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>where a creepy guy conducted painful and inhumane experiments on

188
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.679
<v Speaker 1>him day in day out. After that torturous six months,

189
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.639
<v Speaker 1>he was sent out into the world, with the merciless

190
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 1>King assigning him so many quests that he had no

191
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 1>time to even change his clothes. It was so bad

192
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 1>that he had no time to even take a bath

193
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.759
<v Speaker 1>even if he wanted to. Just when the Demon Queen

194
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>thought it could not get any worse, Atami just casually

195
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.080
<v Speaker 1>dropped a new trauma bomb while they were strolling the castle.

196
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>She almost teared up after hearing this inhumane treatment of

197
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.759
<v Speaker 1>a poor and confused young man in the hands of humanity.

198
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Demon Queen felt so bad that she was compelled to

199
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.200
<v Speaker 1>give him new clothes. And now that Atami has mentioned it,

200
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.960
<v Speaker 1>the smell of death really does follow him wherever he goes,

201
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:45.639
<v Speaker 1>and it was not just in a metaphorical sense. He

202
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.360
<v Speaker 1>literally smells like his odor can kill a man outrightly

203
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.720
<v Speaker 1>before close. What Etami needs is a bath, and an

204
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>extremely urgent one at that. He just smells so bad

205
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.759
<v Speaker 1>that even the demonic overlord could not bear it a

206
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>sudden Valentine's Day poster in your feed, just to remind

207
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>all the single guys that even a depressed hero has

208
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.759
<v Speaker 1>a girlfriend and they don't. There will definitely be more

209
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 1>depressed heroes in reality after this, and to cope with

210
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:10.679
<v Speaker 1>their depression, they will have to go in search of

211
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.960
<v Speaker 1>their personal demon queen who will become the queen of

212
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 1>their heart. Let's go back to our story. Today's mission

213
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:17.399
<v Speaker 1>is getting a Tommy a new set of clothes to

214
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.600
<v Speaker 1>get him out of his stinky starter kit. There is

215
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>one Castle attendant that could help with that problem. Her

216
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.720
<v Speaker 1>name is Sibet, and the Demon Queen needs her as

217
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>soon as possible. This tanned, demonic maid with a single

218
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:30.080
<v Speaker 1>horn on the left side of her head was just

219
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>one call away to attend to her master's demands. Her

220
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>curtsey might look graceful and full of disciple, but in reality,

221
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Sibet is quite a troublemaker. That smug smile alone is

222
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 1>an obvious sign that she is not your typical subservient

223
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.080
<v Speaker 1>and well behaved made. The Demon Queen was surprisingly respectful

224
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:47.799
<v Speaker 1>to her attendant. She takes care of her people very well.

225
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.320
<v Speaker 1>She promptly introduced to Tommy to Sebet, the demon Queen's

226
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:56.039
<v Speaker 1>personal maid and good friend. Sabet respectfully curtseyed with grace

227
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.879
<v Speaker 1>once again, but the look she started giving him after

228
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>that was quite sticky curious. She did not hesitate to

229
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:04.960
<v Speaker 1>get right into his business, trying to touch him while

230
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>praising his nice looking face. He might look good, but

231
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>he looks weak. In Sibet's opinion, that's only natural, since

232
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.080
<v Speaker 1>he's human after all. Sibet turned to the demon Queen,

233
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:17.399
<v Speaker 1>expressing her doubts about whether Etami could even last one minute.

234
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.440
<v Speaker 1>The demon Queen and the former hero had no clue

235
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>about what this one minute thing she was talking about.

236
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>The maid gladly elaborated that there is only one thing

237
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>that a five zero zero year old demon queen needs,

238
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:32.039
<v Speaker 1>and she explained in the most family friendly way possible

239
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>through hands, it's about time for their queen to do

240
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>the deed, after all. If she was not being straightforward enough,

241
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 1>Sibat just outrightly blurted out that the queen should finally

242
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>lose her virginity or be one forever, and if the

243
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.080
<v Speaker 1>demon Queen does not hurry, Sibat might just go ahead

244
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.559
<v Speaker 1>and steal this new boy from her master outrightly jump

245
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>his bones and all that. As they say, the demon

246
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:52.919
<v Speaker 1>Queen had to hurry up and grab it Tommy to

247
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>cover his ears. While she instantly gave Sibet a salary

248
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.919
<v Speaker 1>cut for being so inappropriate. That stunt earned her minus

249
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:02.960
<v Speaker 1>one thousand gold coins. Based on her grim reaction, it

250
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:04.919
<v Speaker 1>seems like this was quite a regular occurrence for the

251
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:08.799
<v Speaker 1>unruly succubists made and something tells me that it is

252
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.919
<v Speaker 1>more or less for the same reason every time she

253
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>was reminded of the anecdote that a boss who cuts

254
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.679
<v Speaker 1>your salary to minus a thousand is like a dragon

255
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.639
<v Speaker 1>who sheds its scales, it reveals its true form. It's

256
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:22.440
<v Speaker 1>time to go back to the original business of why

257
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.080
<v Speaker 1>they even called Sibet in the first place. New clothes

258
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>for a tommy in this massive castle, they don't really

259
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:29.799
<v Speaker 1>have new clothes that will fit the frame of an

260
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:32.679
<v Speaker 1>average human. But what they have are the demon Queen's

261
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 1>brother's wardrobe. Maybe one of those outfits will fit the

262
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:38.240
<v Speaker 1>young man. Cibet was quite reliable when it comes to

263
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.559
<v Speaker 1>these things. She really thinks things through when it comes

264
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.200
<v Speaker 1>to what's best for the queen in the castle. But

265
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.960
<v Speaker 1>still her succubis brain gets in the way from time

266
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.080
<v Speaker 1>to time. The exact moment when that happens was pretty

267
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.720
<v Speaker 1>easy to spot. It's when a bright blush appears on

268
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:55.320
<v Speaker 1>her tanned skin. Of course, the demon Queen can easily

269
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:57.360
<v Speaker 1>read what this unruly made was thinking in just a

270
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.519
<v Speaker 1>single look for a fraction of a second, and she

271
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.279
<v Speaker 1>won't has it to screw her head back in with

272
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:04.799
<v Speaker 1>a punch when Sibet starts thinking of lewd stuff. Today's

273
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.240
<v Speaker 1>clothing mission has led them to the castle's storage room,

274
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:10.080
<v Speaker 1>where some of the Queen's brother's clothes are quietly put away.

275
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:12.919
<v Speaker 1>There are mountains upon mountains of garments of many different

276
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.519
<v Speaker 1>kinds in this massive room. The three of them had

277
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.440
<v Speaker 1>to split up in hopes of finding something that will

278
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.960
<v Speaker 1>fit a Tommy. What's surprising is that these heaps of

279
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.720
<v Speaker 1>clothing belong to just one person. He must be quite

280
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.840
<v Speaker 1>a fashionista. Thinking about it pissed off the Demon Queen

281
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere. Right now, her brother's girlfriend likes dressing

282
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>him up like a doll. That was why his original

283
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.120
<v Speaker 1>wardrobe has been thrown to fill up this storage room.

284
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.559
<v Speaker 1>Ittomy was quite worried that the brother would mind if

285
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.639
<v Speaker 1>they took his clothes without permission, but the queen was

286
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.559
<v Speaker 1>quite certain that it would be okay. That brother of

287
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.840
<v Speaker 1>hers never wore these clothes anyways, He just likes to

288
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>wear that one black coat that she gave him some

289
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:52.879
<v Speaker 1>time ago. Upon quite a decent chunk of time, looking

290
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:55.919
<v Speaker 1>through the mountains of fabrics, Sibet finally found something that

291
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>caught her eyes and could fit a Toami. The queen

292
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.919
<v Speaker 1>then turned to the former and nonchalantly ordered him to

293
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>undress so they could see how well it would fit.

294
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Ittami was quite prone to giving in to pressure, so

295
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.159
<v Speaker 1>he immediately started undressing in front of the two ladies,

296
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:14.120
<v Speaker 1>slowly exposing his toned body. The two women, seeing this,

297
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.120
<v Speaker 1>felt like lightning just struck them both. The demon queen

298
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:20.960
<v Speaker 1>even paused her chainsmoking for a while in shock. Iamy

299
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:23.159
<v Speaker 1>cluelessly looked at both of them and asked why they

300
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>were looking at him weirdly, as if his ripped body

301
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:29.480
<v Speaker 1>riddled with scars everywhere, was not weird at all. Demons,

302
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:32.000
<v Speaker 1>no matter how brazen they might be, consider it rude

303
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to ask about scars. It's a cultural thing. But they

304
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.559
<v Speaker 1>both really wanted to ask Atami about his abnormal number

305
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>of marks. Finally, after looking like a homeless bum for

306
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.679
<v Speaker 1>two and a half years, the former hero looked at

307
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.799
<v Speaker 1>least decent. Now he might not look like a valiant hero,

308
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>but he looks nice. Of course, if you ask the

309
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.399
<v Speaker 1>Succubis in the room, she will gladly confess that Etami

310
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:55.120
<v Speaker 1>looked a lot better without any clothes on, pants and all.

311
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:57.600
<v Speaker 1>The Demon Queen had to step in and threaten to

312
00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 1>cut her salary for the second time today, or Ciba

313
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.039
<v Speaker 1>might have just jumped to Tommy right then and there

314
00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:05.039
<v Speaker 1>when no one's around. The Demon Queen's personal maid likes

315
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:08.000
<v Speaker 1>calling her by her given name Calli. Today, she was

316
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 1>busy with paperwork and se Bet wanted to give her

317
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:12.799
<v Speaker 1>a drink break. Demon Queen Calli does not like getting

318
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.159
<v Speaker 1>interrupted in the middle of work. But sea Bet was

319
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:17.039
<v Speaker 1>just way too curious as to where in the world

320
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>did a Tommy got that many scars all over his body.

321
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Calli had some ideas, but it's hard to say where

322
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.440
<v Speaker 1>the young man got those marks without revealing the fact

323
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:27.559
<v Speaker 1>that he's the legendary hero. But anyone could easily tell

324
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>that the guy has fought against monsters often. Sea BET's

325
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:32.639
<v Speaker 1>first thought was that a Tommy might have been a

326
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:37.240
<v Speaker 1>former adventurer or something, which was a reasonable theory. Calle

327
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.200
<v Speaker 1>neither confirmed nor denied her personal attendance assumption. Still, as

328
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.960
<v Speaker 1>far as Sibet knows, not even a demon can endure

329
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.679
<v Speaker 1>that many grisly wounds on someone's body. Besides, the mind

330
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:50.960
<v Speaker 1>suffers from wounds at that scale and quantity too. The

331
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:53.559
<v Speaker 1>Queen did not take that into account. It's just another

332
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:55.639
<v Speaker 1>addition to the pile of anguish that the young man

333
00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:58.879
<v Speaker 1>has suffered. She knew all too well that constant battles

334
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.759
<v Speaker 1>are dangerous for the mind, especially battling against someone like

335
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:04.799
<v Speaker 1>her little brother. This little detail did not escape Sibet's

336
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.360
<v Speaker 1>sharp ears. Calli just slipped up and revealed that Atami

337
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:11.519
<v Speaker 1>had fought against the Queen's brother. Calli did not mince

338
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.759
<v Speaker 1>words any longer. She could easily deduce that Atami had

339
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.799
<v Speaker 1>fought her little brother at some point in time. Only

340
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:20.480
<v Speaker 1>her little bro could leave someone looking like that. But

341
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.960
<v Speaker 1>this was quite a revelation to her personal maid. That

342
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>just means that Atami is supremely strong. Fighting against that

343
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.799
<v Speaker 1>monster is one thing, Surviving is another. On top of that,

344
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Etami is clearly just a weak human. On that note,

345
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Sibet remembered something crucial regarding this subject. Her voice started

346
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:39.759
<v Speaker 1>shaking as she informed the Queen that her brother would

347
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:42.480
<v Speaker 1>be returning to the castle to day. If those two

348
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:46.120
<v Speaker 1>meet each other now, there's no telling what might happen. Actually,

349
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:48.200
<v Speaker 1>there's no need to theorize what would happen any more.

350
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:50.960
<v Speaker 1>What Sibet was fearing was already underway. In the lobby

351
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:54.120
<v Speaker 1>of the Demon Lord's castle. Itami and the Queen's brother,

352
00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:56.919
<v Speaker 1>who still have bandages covering the wounds all over his body,

353
00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>had already seen each other in this unlikely place. They

354
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:02.759
<v Speaker 1>laid eyes on each other, enemies that have fought and

355
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 1>beaten each other within an inch of their life. They

356
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:08.480
<v Speaker 1>held neither animosity nor fear. But Lilbro was not going

357
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:11.000
<v Speaker 1>to let this human roam the castle casually like this.

358
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:13.839
<v Speaker 1>He told to Tommy to call his sword right this second.

359
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.160
<v Speaker 1>They had a gentleman's promise between them. Ittami swore that

360
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:20.319
<v Speaker 1>he will kill himself. For a moment, a different kind

361
00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:23.480
<v Speaker 1>of smile surfaced on the former hero's face. He then

362
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.559
<v Speaker 1>raised his scarred hand to call his blade Sagi. He

363
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:29.799
<v Speaker 1>remembered the promise they made to each other. The legendary

364
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.559
<v Speaker 1>blade Sagi came bolting through the halls of the castle

365
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.920
<v Speaker 1>with incredible speeds, eventually finding its rightful place in a

366
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:39.519
<v Speaker 1>Tommy's hand. It's about time they fulfilled that promise between

367
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:41.759
<v Speaker 1>the two of them, whatever that may be. It was

368
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:43.880
<v Speaker 1>nearing dusk, and the two men went outside of the

369
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:47.079
<v Speaker 1>Demon Lord's castle to settle their differences. The way they

370
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:50.599
<v Speaker 1>would do it was as straightforward as it came. Ittami

371
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:54.079
<v Speaker 1>was obviously nervous as he stumbled over his words. He

372
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.839
<v Speaker 1>started the countdown, priming his hands forward as he counted

373
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.279
<v Speaker 1>from three. The Queen's brother looked him directly in the eye,

374
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:02.920
<v Speaker 1>seemingly sizing up the former hero. As he counted down

375
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:06.720
<v Speaker 1>to two, dark circles were apparent around to Tommy's eyes,

376
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:09.000
<v Speaker 1>but there was a new luster of life in them

377
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:11.400
<v Speaker 1>compared to when he first barged into the Demon Queen's

378
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.960
<v Speaker 1>throne room. He counted down to one. He began the

379
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.960
<v Speaker 1>fight by ordering his legendary sword Sagi to jump right

380
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.799
<v Speaker 1>into the fray. It was so fast that it whistled

381
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.160
<v Speaker 1>through the air, the blade swerving unpredictably, making it incredibly

382
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.720
<v Speaker 1>hard to avoid. But Lil Bro was quite a skilled fighter.

383
00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:30.440
<v Speaker 1>He was a monster of the Demon Lord's army, after all.

384
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.400
<v Speaker 1>He casually jumped and hopped onto the legendary blade like

385
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.680
<v Speaker 1>it was a skateboard. Still, this was not the way

386
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:37.599
<v Speaker 1>to deal with a flying sword at all. He was

387
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>now riding the blade, but its speed did not decrease

388
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:42.799
<v Speaker 1>even a single notch. Itttomy was awe struck by how

389
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:45.920
<v Speaker 1>bizarre Lil Brow responded to his fast paced attack as

390
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.400
<v Speaker 1>he called Sagi back to his hand. Both fighters were

391
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:52.000
<v Speaker 1>quite absent minded in this fight. They did not make

392
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.599
<v Speaker 1>the moves they would have otherwise made to neutralize the opponent.

393
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.920
<v Speaker 1>They even made the amateur mistake of accidentally bumping against

394
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>each other once Sagi was beckoned back. Now they both

395
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.759
<v Speaker 1>lay on the ground. There weren't any significant injuries this

396
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:06.960
<v Speaker 1>time around. All Lilbro and a Tommy could say was

397
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:10.960
<v Speaker 1>holy shit. Soggi was also strewn on the dirt between them.

398
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:13.400
<v Speaker 1>There was a knowing silence between the two fighters for

399
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:16.119
<v Speaker 1>a moment. Then Lilbro started smirking, as if he were

400
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.559
<v Speaker 1>stifling an incoming laugh, until he could not hold it

401
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:22.160
<v Speaker 1>back anymore. He started laughing as if he had never

402
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.359
<v Speaker 1>experienced anything funnier than this stunt in his life. He

403
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:27.559
<v Speaker 1>knew that this young man with crimson hair did not

404
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:29.920
<v Speaker 1>even try to dodge the incoming collision between them when

405
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.279
<v Speaker 1>he was perfectly capable of doing so. Lil Bro was

406
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:35.839
<v Speaker 1>holding his stomach, dying laughing at the thought of such

407
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.039
<v Speaker 1>a sloppy second round fight when their first one was anything.

408
00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:42.680
<v Speaker 1>But he continued to laugh while Atami's mind reeled about

409
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.240
<v Speaker 1>what he had just done. He really didn't dodge, In fact,

410
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.640
<v Speaker 1>he didn't even try. A second later, the two fighters

411
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.440
<v Speaker 1>were both dying laughing at the ridiculousness of everything between them.

412
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:54.880
<v Speaker 1>They didn't even know what was funny, but it was

413
00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:57.880
<v Speaker 1>something that only the two of them shared. When the

414
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:01.119
<v Speaker 1>laughter slowly subsided, Lil Bro tapped the former hero on

415
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the shoulder and called his attention. They looked each other

416
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:05.519
<v Speaker 1>in the eyes, and it seemed like there was this

417
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:09.519
<v Speaker 1>special bond of brothers that survived a terrifying ordeal between them.

418
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:11.759
<v Speaker 1>It was like they knew each other on a profoundly

419
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.359
<v Speaker 1>deep level. Lilbro finally spoke honestly and told the former

420
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:17.519
<v Speaker 1>hero that he was glad that A Tommy was alive.

421
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>It had been a few days since the young man

422
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:24.000
<v Speaker 1>had cried. But here he was again. Hearing those words

423
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:26.599
<v Speaker 1>from a supposed enemy made tears born from a special

424
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.960
<v Speaker 1>connection cascade down his eyes. These past few days or months,

425
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.039
<v Speaker 1>or however long it had been, it seemed like he

426
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:35.480
<v Speaker 1>had no control over his tear ducts and emotions at all.

427
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:38.839
<v Speaker 1>But today was different. He was in control, and he

428
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:41.119
<v Speaker 1>chose to let it all go. It was just like

429
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.240
<v Speaker 1>that night on the balcony with demon Queen Kali. Lil

430
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Bro called him out for crying like a little girl,

431
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:50.160
<v Speaker 1>but he got it. Meanwhile, two pairs of very suspicious

432
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:52.680
<v Speaker 1>eyes were clearly trying to peep from behind the foliage.

433
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Seabet was extremely confused. Just two months ago, these two

434
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:58.799
<v Speaker 1>almost killed each other to the point of morbid wounds

435
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:01.680
<v Speaker 1>and scars. But now they were talking like good friends,

436
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:05.400
<v Speaker 1>reuniting after a long time. Queen Calli just chalked it

437
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:08.359
<v Speaker 1>up to them being boys. Si Bete was a succubist

438
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.960
<v Speaker 1>skilled in the art of manipulating men, but even she

439
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.519
<v Speaker 1>found this boy's behavior weird and undecipherable, and Calli could

440
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:17.559
<v Speaker 1>not agree more. The battle from earlier might have ended

441
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:20.440
<v Speaker 1>up in a non confrontational manner, but Etami still felt

442
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:23.480
<v Speaker 1>drained after that encounter, mainly because of the emotional release.

443
00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:27.319
<v Speaker 1>He kept pondering why he didn't even try to dodge.

444
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:29.000
<v Speaker 1>He recalled how the two of them sat there in

445
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the dirt with Soggi in between. Etami could actively recall

446
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Lilbro's sentiment of being really glad by the fact that

447
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:36.720
<v Speaker 1>he survived after all this time. It kind of made

448
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.440
<v Speaker 1>him feel the same way he felt when the demon

449
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Queen graciously gave him a place to live his life

450
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:44.400
<v Speaker 1>in the castle as the new Queen's bodyguard, her promise

451
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:46.519
<v Speaker 1>that everyone would call him by his real name from

452
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:49.799
<v Speaker 1>now on. In this room, he had only Sagi to

453
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:52.400
<v Speaker 1>talk to. He thought that he didn't deserve this light

454
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:55.400
<v Speaker 1>feeling that he was experiencing right this second. That might

455
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:57.880
<v Speaker 1>be the case, but he wanted to try. He wanted

456
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to at least try to live again among these demons

457
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.839
<v Speaker 1>that treated him so much better than the Kingdom of humanity.

458
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:05.240
<v Speaker 1>If he really wanted to go this route, the next

459
00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:06.960
<v Speaker 1>thing he needed to figure out was how to even

460
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:09.599
<v Speaker 1>start At this juncture. He sat up as he was

461
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:11.599
<v Speaker 1>reminded of what his mother once said to him back

462
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.640
<v Speaker 1>in the day. A live person is a happy person.

463
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:17.200
<v Speaker 1>It was a pretty simple thought, but it could not

464
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:19.160
<v Speaker 1>be any more difficult to figure out for someone like

465
00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Etami and his mountains of trauma and baggage. He knew

466
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:24.480
<v Speaker 1>that he was alive, so that was pretty much solved,

467
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:26.720
<v Speaker 1>but the trickier part to fathom was how in the

468
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.240
<v Speaker 1>world he could be happy despite everything he experienced. At

469
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.359
<v Speaker 1>that moment, the legendary blade Soggi seemingly hurt his dilemma

470
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.559
<v Speaker 1>and decided to respond in kind. It started emanating light

471
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:39.480
<v Speaker 1>from the gem on its hilt. Ittomy looked directly into

472
00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the light, shocked at this surprising development. He was shown

473
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:45.160
<v Speaker 1>a vivid image of a little girl feeding a rabbit

474
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:47.680
<v Speaker 1>beast with a toothy grin, even though she was missing

475
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:51.079
<v Speaker 1>a tooth. The girl called him brother hero and asserted

476
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:55.039
<v Speaker 1>that happiness comes from giving and not receiving. Just look

477
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.319
<v Speaker 1>at her smile and how big it is despite not

478
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:00.200
<v Speaker 1>having perfect teeth. She doesn't care at all because because

479
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:02.359
<v Speaker 1>she's just so happy to have fed this rabbit to

480
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:05.640
<v Speaker 1>help a helpless being. Itami felt his head cleared up

481
00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:08.519
<v Speaker 1>of any clouds. The answer was right there all along.

482
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Sagi just needed to guide and push him to it

483
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. The first step he wanted to do

484
00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:15.000
<v Speaker 1>was to get out there into the world and do

485
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.440
<v Speaker 1>good for both his and other's sake. Itami just seemed

486
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:20.720
<v Speaker 1>a little too eager to even use the stairs, so

487
00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:22.720
<v Speaker 1>he just jumped from the balcony out of his room,

488
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:26.279
<v Speaker 1>hero diving into the ground and asking one of the

489
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:28.799
<v Speaker 1>maids if she needs any help for anything. The maid

490
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:31.160
<v Speaker 1>was just doing her chores, singing without a care in

491
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:32.839
<v Speaker 1>the world, so she was shocked to hear and see

492
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the Queen's bodyguard appearing out of nowhere. Saibet was just

493
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:38.920
<v Speaker 1>doing her usual rounds around the castle and she saw

494
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:42.200
<v Speaker 1>this exact scene out in the courtyard. It Toammy was

495
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:45.880
<v Speaker 1>actually interacting with other people instead of gloomily isolating himself

496
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:49.119
<v Speaker 1>inside his room like usual. It was certainly a bizarre

497
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.319
<v Speaker 1>and new sight. She quietly watched from a distance as

498
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:54.759
<v Speaker 1>the young man bashfully helps the maid with her chores.

499
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:58.039
<v Speaker 1>The green haired maid was very into it. She was

500
00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:01.599
<v Speaker 1>practically swooning as fireworks expled loaded in her heart and head.

501
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:04.319
<v Speaker 1>While Sibet was watching from afar, The first thing she

502
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:06.880
<v Speaker 1>thought about was demon Queen Cally and how her boy

503
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:09.759
<v Speaker 1>almost got stolen right under her nose. As if the

504
00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:12.720
<v Speaker 1>exchanging of words and intimate glances were not enough, the

505
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:15.799
<v Speaker 1>two had already graduated to gradual physical touch in no time.

506
00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Another day, another new shenanigan in the Peaceful Demon Lord's castle.

507
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Demon Queen Calli didn't even know what she was looking

508
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.319
<v Speaker 1>at in this situation. She just asked her personal maid, Sibit,

509
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:28.680
<v Speaker 1>if this thing was really necessary, with a grim expression

510
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:31.119
<v Speaker 1>on her face. The succubist resolutely answered that this was

511
00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:33.440
<v Speaker 1>a matter that needed to be addressed as soon as possible.

512
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:36.799
<v Speaker 1>She even went as far as essentially abducting poor a Tommy,

513
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:40.920
<v Speaker 1>securely tying him to a chair and gagging him with tape.

514
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:44.599
<v Speaker 1>This whole stunt looked utterly ridiculous to the Queen. Sibet

515
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 1>just wanted her boss to wake up to the fact

516
00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:48.960
<v Speaker 1>that her boy almost got stolen by another girl. Another

517
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:51.759
<v Speaker 1>maid in the castle, Callie didn't even know what this

518
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:54.359
<v Speaker 1>succubist was talking about, nor did she care too much.

519
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:57.680
<v Speaker 1>The maid felt sorry for her master. Sure she was

520
00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the great demon Queen, adored by her people and feared

521
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.519
<v Speaker 1>by the enemy, but she was such a foolish woman.

522
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:05.799
<v Speaker 1>To this, Calli threatened to cut the maid's salary in half.

523
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:09.039
<v Speaker 1>But this type of intimidation tactic would not work anymore.

524
00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:11.160
<v Speaker 1>It had gotten to the point that she could not

525
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:14.240
<v Speaker 1>cut what didn't exist anymore. Etami had lived in the

526
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:17.160
<v Speaker 1>demon Lord's castle for only two weeks now, and in

527
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that short span of time he kept on doing selfless

528
00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:22.359
<v Speaker 1>deeds that led to the establishment of a fan club

529
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:25.480
<v Speaker 1>of some sort. The members included the maid girls and

530
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:28.640
<v Speaker 1>even the queen's little brother. This time, it had become

531
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:31.720
<v Speaker 1>clear to Calli just what was at stake. She finally

532
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:34.039
<v Speaker 1>saw what her personal maid was so desperately trying to

533
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:37.440
<v Speaker 1>make her look at. With these two fearsome women teaming up,

534
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:40.160
<v Speaker 1>it was not looking good for our boy. Sibet had

535
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:42.559
<v Speaker 1>an inkling of an idea she read somewhere that if

536
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:45.039
<v Speaker 1>they cut a male creature's balls, he would become calmer

537
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:48.079
<v Speaker 1>by nature. Calli was blinded by the rage that was

538
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:50.599
<v Speaker 1>building up. She agreed that Etami did not need those

539
00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:53.680
<v Speaker 1>balls anyway. Saybet was just glad that her master was

540
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:56.119
<v Speaker 1>finally on board after being so blind for so long.

541
00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:59.799
<v Speaker 1>The duo immediately set out to find scissors. Etami was

542
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.279
<v Speaker 1>all already freaking out as he heard this ridiculously unhinged conversation.

543
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:06.319
<v Speaker 1>He was helplessly bound and gagged so he could not

544
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.759
<v Speaker 1>even scream when the two finally decided that they would

545
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:11.920
<v Speaker 1>just use a sword after failing to find scissors. Meanwhile,

546
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Lil Brow and his tall, blonde girlfriend were visiting and

547
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:16.880
<v Speaker 1>paying respects to someone's grave not far from the castle.

548
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:19.920
<v Speaker 1>It was at this moment that he felt a tingling sensation.

549
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:22.839
<v Speaker 1>The brotherly connection he shared with a Tommy made him

550
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:25.960
<v Speaker 1>feel as if something was incredibly wrong. This prompted him

551
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:27.799
<v Speaker 1>to cut the grave visit short, as he needed to

552
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:31.200
<v Speaker 1>go right now and fast. Somehow, someway, he knew that

553
00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>his friend needed him, so Lil Bro ran as fast

554
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:36.799
<v Speaker 1>as he could to reach the castle right away. Inside

555
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the demon Queen's office, the two women were still debating

556
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:42.640
<v Speaker 1>on the exact method to cut Etami's balls off. They

557
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:44.839
<v Speaker 1>feared that if they used a sword, the young man

558
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:49.160
<v Speaker 1>might die, as humans just have inherently weak bodies. Unbeknownst

559
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:52.599
<v Speaker 1>to them, Lil Bro had already snuck in. He tried

560
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:54.799
<v Speaker 1>his best to figure out how to untie the bindings,

561
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:57.160
<v Speaker 1>but Sebet was just too good at it. For some reason,

562
00:26:57.720 --> 00:26:59.839
<v Speaker 1>he did not even know what Etami did to deserve

563
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:03.240
<v Speaker 1>them treatment. Calli was starting to consider just leaving the

564
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:05.119
<v Speaker 1>former hero tied up for the rest of his life

565
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:07.240
<v Speaker 1>so they wouldn't have to cut his balls off. That

566
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:10.359
<v Speaker 1>plan might not work, though, Lilbro was just dragging the

567
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:12.960
<v Speaker 1>whole chair to get out of this place. First and foremost,

568
00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:17.119
<v Speaker 1>Sibet wanted to propose another plan, but Calli already knew

569
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:19.720
<v Speaker 1>that it would most likely be lewed, so she stopped

570
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:23.519
<v Speaker 1>the maid from elaborating further. The next day arrived and

571
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:26.000
<v Speaker 1>it was as if the almost neutering event had never happened.

572
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:29.119
<v Speaker 1>Itami was lounging around the castle halls looking at a

573
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:31.720
<v Speaker 1>lone flyer posted on one of the imposing pillars when

574
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:35.599
<v Speaker 1>Queen Calli happened upon him during her usual rounds. He

575
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:37.759
<v Speaker 1>was so engrossed in reading the flyer that he didn't

576
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:39.960
<v Speaker 1>even notice the queen until she spoke up and asked

577
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:43.000
<v Speaker 1>him what he was looking at. The former hero was

578
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:46.599
<v Speaker 1>extremely fascinated by the fireworks flyer posted up. He didn't

579
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:49.799
<v Speaker 1>know that demons celebrated the Fireworks Festival too. It turned

580
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:52.359
<v Speaker 1>out that it was an interracial holiday celebrated by all

581
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:55.200
<v Speaker 1>every race on this continent had its own version of

582
00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the fireworks festival. That's because on this day, everyone remembered

583
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:01.640
<v Speaker 1>those who were no longer with them. In this world,

584
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.880
<v Speaker 1>death was a universal experience, so it was only fitting

585
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:08.079
<v Speaker 1>that everyone celebrated those who had passed. Etomi was clearly

586
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:10.759
<v Speaker 1>fixated not just on the flyer, but on the event itself.

587
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:13.799
<v Speaker 1>Queen Calli could see that, so she went ahead and

588
00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:15.319
<v Speaker 1>asked the young man if he wanted to go to

589
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the festival. Without a second thought it to me answered

590
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:20.759
<v Speaker 1>that he would like to, but he had the duties

591
00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:23.799
<v Speaker 1>of serving as Calli's bodyguard, sticking to her closely at

592
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:27.240
<v Speaker 1>every waking hour. At times like this, he should be

593
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:30.119
<v Speaker 1>ready to protect the Queen in case something unexpected happened.

594
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Calli was kind of surprised to hear something very logical

595
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:35.920
<v Speaker 1>from this boy. Still, she knew that he badly wanted

596
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:38.599
<v Speaker 1>to go to the firework ceremony. Looking at his hands.

597
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:41.119
<v Speaker 1>He was even clutching a recipe for a firework tightly.

598
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:44.319
<v Speaker 1>She inwardly thought that a Tommy must have really wanted

599
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:48.240
<v Speaker 1>to go for some reason. Of course, there's a reasonable

600
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:50.920
<v Speaker 1>compromise to this. If he couldn't go without her, then

601
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:53.480
<v Speaker 1>they should just go together. The look in his eyes

602
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:56.839
<v Speaker 1>was quite dim, as if remembering something or someone. Demon

603
00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.079
<v Speaker 1>Queen Cally started blushing at the fact that if she

604
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:01.640
<v Speaker 1>brought up the possibilit of going to the festival together,

605
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:04.240
<v Speaker 1>it would totally look and sound like she was asking

606
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:06.920
<v Speaker 1>him out on a date. Thinking that it wouldn't be

607
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:09.079
<v Speaker 1>too bad, she just brute forced her way out of

608
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:11.599
<v Speaker 1>the awkwardness and blurted out the question of maybe going

609
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.759
<v Speaker 1>to the fireworks festival together. She sounded composed, but her

610
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:19.440
<v Speaker 1>blush told a different story. She continued that since she

611
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:21.599
<v Speaker 1>also wanted to go to the festival, they might as

612
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:24.079
<v Speaker 1>well just go together to diffuse some of the thick tension.

613
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Now she wasn't the only one blushing it. Tommy was

614
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:30.559
<v Speaker 1>getting read up to his ears too. It seemed like

615
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:34.599
<v Speaker 1>the plan was locked in, but first they needed to

616
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:37.200
<v Speaker 1>give that firework recipe that a Tommy was holding so

617
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.240
<v Speaker 1>tightly to the demon firework Master. This whole interaction was,

618
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:44.599
<v Speaker 1>of course, under the scrutiny of three very familiar figures

619
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:48.559
<v Speaker 1>hiding inside a potted plant. Lil Bro felt like his

620
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:51.400
<v Speaker 1>ears were lying to him. Hearing his big sister ask

621
00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:54.839
<v Speaker 1>someone out like that was surreal. Sebet assured him that

622
00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:57.440
<v Speaker 1>they heard it all correctly. The demon Queen was going

623
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.599
<v Speaker 1>on a festival date with her bodyguard, so O Operation

624
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.759
<v Speaker 1>CALLI Exitammy was underway. It had just started from this

625
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:06.759
<v Speaker 1>minute forward. The agents even had cool sunglasses to go

626
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:09.799
<v Speaker 1>with the covert operation. The demon Queen and the former

627
00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:12.559
<v Speaker 1>hero left the castle and headed to the outskirts of

628
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the demon territory, where the famed Granny Hag resides. She

629
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:19.440
<v Speaker 1>was a sweet old demon woman. If you see an

630
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:21.680
<v Speaker 1>old looking demon, then that must mean that they must

631
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:24.759
<v Speaker 1>really be old by human standards. She just turned her

632
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:28.480
<v Speaker 1>head lightly and greeted the demon Lord. Callie pushed to Tommy

633
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:30.880
<v Speaker 1>as she stated their purpose of visit to order a

634
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:34.839
<v Speaker 1>firework for the upcoming firework festival. Her bodyguard already had

635
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:38.319
<v Speaker 1>the recipe in his hands. It Tommy promptly showed Granny

636
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Hag the tattered firework recipe. It looks like it has

637
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:43.920
<v Speaker 1>seen better days. There are red stains all over the paper,

638
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:47.200
<v Speaker 1>which I assume were blood. Granny Hang was pleased at

639
00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:49.799
<v Speaker 1>the sight of such a traditional recipe. She has been

640
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:52.759
<v Speaker 1>making fireworks for festivals for five hundred thousand years now

641
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and in that massive time frame, she could not even

642
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:57.319
<v Speaker 1>remember the last time she made a firework for a

643
00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:01.319
<v Speaker 1>normal human. Itami is a polite boy. He respectfully handed

644
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the recipe to the old woman, thanking her for doing

645
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:06.599
<v Speaker 1>this favor. But before he could finish blurting out his thanks,

646
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the Granny demon had already brought out a strange apparatus

647
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:11.920
<v Speaker 1>to nick him in his hand. Queen Calli forgot to

648
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:14.160
<v Speaker 1>inform him that this old demon uses blood in making

649
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:16.920
<v Speaker 1>her fireworks. That's why she drew some from a tommy

650
00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:19.799
<v Speaker 1>in the blink of an eye. The Granny already had

651
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:23.559
<v Speaker 1>a feeling that this particular firework would be interesting. She

652
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:26.079
<v Speaker 1>turned her head to her two visitors, curious as to

653
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:27.960
<v Speaker 1>what in the world is the demon queen doing with

654
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:31.240
<v Speaker 1>a human out in the open. What the granny saw

655
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:33.400
<v Speaker 1>was the two likely love birds tending to one another.

656
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Ittammy was still shaking in shock, while Calli blew on

657
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the tiny nick in his finger while synthesizing the would

658
00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:43.039
<v Speaker 1>be fireworks. The granny posed a question to the two.

659
00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:44.960
<v Speaker 1>She asked the kids if they knew how the demon

660
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.759
<v Speaker 1>started to celebrate the firework festival. Its Tomi confidently answered

661
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:51.039
<v Speaker 1>that he read somewhere the fact that five hundred thousand

662
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:53.759
<v Speaker 1>years ago, the first king of the human kingdom made

663
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:56.680
<v Speaker 1>the first fireworks that earned him a quick and loud

664
00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:59.960
<v Speaker 1>disagreement from the old demon. She continued that the story

665
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:01.839
<v Speaker 1>try about the first king of humans was made by

666
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:05.599
<v Speaker 1>dumb humans for dumb humans. Furthermore, that pesky human race

667
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:08.519
<v Speaker 1>is always trying to appropriate the accomplishments of demons as

668
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:12.039
<v Speaker 1>their own. While she finishes up this explosive, Granny decided

669
00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:14.400
<v Speaker 1>to tell these two the true story of the beginning

670
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:17.279
<v Speaker 1>of the firework festival, and it all started a long

671
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:20.160
<v Speaker 1>time ago. It was so long ago that the whole

672
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:23.759
<v Speaker 1>continent could still be considered a peaceful place. The events

673
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:26.359
<v Speaker 1>that led to the development of modern day fireworks started

674
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:28.480
<v Speaker 1>one night half a million years ago with a demon

675
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:31.759
<v Speaker 1>girl lounging around an open field. That open field is

676
00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:34.960
<v Speaker 1>now referred to as the Demon Kingdom's territory. The demon

677
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:37.880
<v Speaker 1>girl loved laying down on the serene grasslands while taking

678
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.559
<v Speaker 1>in the sight of the beautiful stars. It was perfect,

679
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:43.160
<v Speaker 1>The night sky was gorgeous. But if she was asked

680
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:45.160
<v Speaker 1>to change one thing, she would love to bring the

681
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:47.480
<v Speaker 1>stars a little closer to her as if God had

682
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:50.200
<v Speaker 1>answered that request of hers. A bright light started flying

683
00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:52.240
<v Speaker 1>through the air. It looked like a star that was

684
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to rise up and join the other ones up high,

685
00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:58.079
<v Speaker 1>and then it exploded in a booming manner. The small light,

686
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.720
<v Speaker 1>at once emitted, was scattered all over the sky right

687
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:03.559
<v Speaker 1>above where the demon Girl was looking at It was beautiful,

688
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:05.880
<v Speaker 1>perhaps even more beautiful than the stars that she loved

689
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:08.640
<v Speaker 1>so dearly. She felt her heart skip a beat at

690
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:11.039
<v Speaker 1>the sight of the colorful burst. It was so close.

691
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:14.680
<v Speaker 1>She eventually got up from the grasslands and started running

692
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.079
<v Speaker 1>through the woods, trying to track down just where in

693
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the world did that exploding star came from. She knew

694
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:23.000
<v Speaker 1>that the mysterious thing came from this way, and she

695
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:25.079
<v Speaker 1>was desperate to get to the bottom of this mystery.

696
00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:27.720
<v Speaker 1>The demon Girl can feel it. She can feel that

697
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:29.880
<v Speaker 1>she's just a few meters away from fulfilling her dream

698
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:31.799
<v Speaker 1>of bringing the stars in the night sky just a

699
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:35.240
<v Speaker 1>little bit closer, perhaps not just a little Perhaps with

700
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:37.799
<v Speaker 1>this she can actually get so close that she would

701
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:40.599
<v Speaker 1>be able to touch the beautiful stars. Before the demon

702
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:43.359
<v Speaker 1>Girl knew it, she was panting in exhaustion while tears

703
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:46.119
<v Speaker 1>were flowing down her eyes, thinking of the possibility that

704
00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:49.240
<v Speaker 1>her dream was about to come true. What she found

705
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:51.799
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of the flying exploding star was

706
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:54.799
<v Speaker 1>a human, a young man cursing at himself for not

707
00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:57.359
<v Speaker 1>getting the brightness of his so called firework quite right.

708
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:00.640
<v Speaker 1>The demon girl blushed at the sight of the young man.

709
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:02.559
<v Speaker 1>She knew in her heart that this person was the

710
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:04.599
<v Speaker 1>one that could grant her only wish in life, and

711
00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:07.839
<v Speaker 1>maybe even more. She was inquisitive by nature, and the

712
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:10.639
<v Speaker 1>young man was quite welcoming. The demon girl had never

713
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:13.840
<v Speaker 1>seen something quite like this bright thing called fireworks. It

714
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:16.400
<v Speaker 1>sounded pretty cool to her. She wanted to see him

715
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:19.400
<v Speaker 1>make one of these things again. The young man immediately

716
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:21.639
<v Speaker 1>perked up. He stopped feeling bad for himself for not

717
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:25.320
<v Speaker 1>getting it right earlier. With renewed determination and motivation, he

718
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:28.079
<v Speaker 1>prepared to go at it again, just like her. This

719
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:30.960
<v Speaker 1>is his main goal in life. The spirit of ambition

720
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:32.760
<v Speaker 1>danced in his eyes as he vowed to make the

721
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:35.360
<v Speaker 1>biggest and brightest firework that the world has ever seen.

722
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:38.679
<v Speaker 1>It will shine even brighter than the stars above. What

723
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:41.199
<v Speaker 1>he'll make will shine so brightly that his mother will

724
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:43.119
<v Speaker 1>be able to see it now, no matter how far

725
00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:46.039
<v Speaker 1>or where she might be. The Demon Girl could feel

726
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:48.199
<v Speaker 1>the kid's spirit as he expressed his will to make

727
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:51.039
<v Speaker 1>something that will be seen even by people in another world.

728
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:55.400
<v Speaker 1>She admired everything about that will and everything about that boy,

729
00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:58.280
<v Speaker 1>like a beloved tale. It was like they were mixing

730
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:01.559
<v Speaker 1>imagination with real life. It was surreal. The young man

731
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:04.719
<v Speaker 1>caught himself getting swept by his emotions again and apologize

732
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:06.760
<v Speaker 1>for sounding so foolish when they've just met a few

733
00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:11.039
<v Speaker 1>moments ago, but his determined look impressed the demon Girl immensely.

734
00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Instead of admonishing him for being so ambitious, she just

735
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:17.199
<v Speaker 1>looked him in the eye and said, no, he was

736
00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:19.880
<v Speaker 1>not being foolish or anything like that. It does not

737
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:21.960
<v Speaker 1>sound foolish to her, at least. The night that the

738
00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:23.840
<v Speaker 1>two met was the same night that the budding seat

739
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:26.559
<v Speaker 1>of love started to bloom for the first time. She

740
00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:28.679
<v Speaker 1>knows what it feels like to have a dream, but

741
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.519
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't know how to achieve hers until now. The

742
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Demon Girl thinks that the young man is incredibly brave,

743
00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:37.239
<v Speaker 1>and in a world where dreamers are far and few between,

744
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:40.480
<v Speaker 1>having so much passion for one thing is wonderfully unique.

745
00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:44.079
<v Speaker 1>Aiming for the extraordinary things in this mundane, every day,

746
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:48.280
<v Speaker 1>boring life is what makes life itself worth living. From

747
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:51.400
<v Speaker 1>that point on, even though they've just met, the Demon

748
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:53.679
<v Speaker 1>Girl has steeled her resolve to stand by the young

749
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:56.639
<v Speaker 1>man's side and watch his dreams unfold like stars in

750
00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the night sky. She just wanted to share in his

751
00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:03.280
<v Speaker 1>incredibly journey as those dreams slowly became a reality, a

752
00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:05.280
<v Speaker 1>chance for her to love a dreamer like herself with

753
00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:08.280
<v Speaker 1>each heartbeat until the last breath of her life. A

754
00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:10.239
<v Speaker 1>few years ago, the Demon Girl had picked up her

755
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:13.000
<v Speaker 1>fascination with the stars from her mom. She asked her

756
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:15.480
<v Speaker 1>why they shine every night without fail and why don't

757
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:19.039
<v Speaker 1>they get tired. Her mom patiently explained that stars are

758
00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:22.000
<v Speaker 1>like special friends who never get tired of making others happy.

759
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:25.079
<v Speaker 1>A star is someone who loves making other people smile,

760
00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:29.280
<v Speaker 1>so every single night they put on their brightest, shiniest

761
00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:31.880
<v Speaker 1>outfit just to put a genuine smile on your face.

762
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:35.559
<v Speaker 1>That is what stars do every night without fail. They

763
00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:38.599
<v Speaker 1>twinkle and shine to brighten up this dark world. They

764
00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:42.199
<v Speaker 1>make you feel safe and happy. The Demon Girl's other

765
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.360
<v Speaker 1>question remained, why don't the stars ever take a break?

766
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:49.239
<v Speaker 1>Her mom continued that they just don't. Stars are always

767
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:52.559
<v Speaker 1>up there watching over everyone. They're like guardians of the

768
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.000
<v Speaker 1>night sky, and they want to be there for everyone

769
00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:57.719
<v Speaker 1>whenever they have the slightest urge to look up, no

770
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:00.320
<v Speaker 1>matter when that is. It's just their way of telling

771
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:02.920
<v Speaker 1>everyone that even when things seem dark, there's always a

772
00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:05.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit of light to guide us. For some reason,

773
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.599
<v Speaker 1>the demon girl thought about this memory with her mom

774
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:10.639
<v Speaker 1>from long ago. She already knew the reason why. That is.

775
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:13.480
<v Speaker 1>She thinks that she had finally found the shiniest and

776
00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:15.599
<v Speaker 1>brightest star in the world, and she saw it in

777
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:18.960
<v Speaker 1>that young man's spirited eyes. He has quickly become her

778
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:22.440
<v Speaker 1>own star, effectively fulfilling her dream to make the stars

779
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:25.199
<v Speaker 1>come closer just a little. It turns out that she

780
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:28.679
<v Speaker 1>just needed one from this moment. She would not let

781
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:31.079
<v Speaker 1>anything get in the way of her love and her dream.

782
00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:34.800
<v Speaker 1>He has eyes full of hope, brimming with intense energy

783
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:37.679
<v Speaker 1>that can bring anything into life. Sure he might be

784
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:39.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a show off and try hard

785
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:42.360
<v Speaker 1>all the time, but he perseveres and that's what matters

786
00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:47.840
<v Speaker 1>in that sense. He is strong, stronger than most. He

787
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:50.800
<v Speaker 1>was kind, always smiling while doing all sorts of things,

788
00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:54.079
<v Speaker 1>he finds happiness in all the little things, so she

789
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:56.159
<v Speaker 1>tries to help him with everything that she can offer.

790
00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:00.000
<v Speaker 1>But reality is cruel. Life can only give you so much,

791
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:02.119
<v Speaker 1>and the Demon Girl can't help the young man when

792
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:04.599
<v Speaker 1>it comes to a lot of things. He works hard.

793
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:06.599
<v Speaker 1>He works hard for both of their sakes, to the

794
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:09.800
<v Speaker 1>point of passing out in exhaustion at times. She tried

795
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:12.000
<v Speaker 1>her best. As his wife, the love of his life,

796
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:14.679
<v Speaker 1>she supported him with all the strength she could muster.

797
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:18.880
<v Speaker 1>He was her dear star after all. The Demon Girl

798
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:21.440
<v Speaker 1>loved the young man for a long time. She loved

799
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:23.239
<v Speaker 1>him until he was an old man who could barely

800
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:25.079
<v Speaker 1>walk a few steps, and she still looked like a

801
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:28.239
<v Speaker 1>young demon woman. She loved Azumi the firework maker, until

802
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:30.599
<v Speaker 1>he finally finished what he could confidently say was his

803
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:33.480
<v Speaker 1>life's work. Even with gray hair and a wrinkled face,

804
00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the man's eyes never changed. He still had the eyes

805
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:39.559
<v Speaker 1>of a dreamer, the eyes of someone who wanted to

806
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:42.239
<v Speaker 1>give something extraordinary out into the world until he was

807
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:45.760
<v Speaker 1>satisfied to call what he made a true firework. His

808
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:48.119
<v Speaker 1>eyes might still be brimming with light, but his body

809
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:51.000
<v Speaker 1>has gone frail. Every so often he needs to take

810
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:52.719
<v Speaker 1>a rest under the shade of the woods where the

811
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:55.360
<v Speaker 1>lovers first met. The Demon Girl told him not to

812
00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:58.480
<v Speaker 1>force himself too much so many times already, but Azumi's

813
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:01.320
<v Speaker 1>still young at heart. But the detriments of time were

814
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:03.840
<v Speaker 1>not lost on him. He knows this loving wife of

815
00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:07.119
<v Speaker 1>his has been constantly worrying about him these days. He

816
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:09.159
<v Speaker 1>could not find the right words to thank her enough.

817
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Countless thank yous will never suffice for the love and

818
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:15.480
<v Speaker 1>care that she gave him for many years. Even after

819
00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:18.440
<v Speaker 1>all this time, the Demon Girl still blushes whenever Izumi

820
00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:22.079
<v Speaker 1>is being nice to her. Tonight was the night the

821
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:23.920
<v Speaker 1>husband and wife were just waiting for the sky to

822
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:26.840
<v Speaker 1>darken and the stars to come out and play. They've

823
00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:29.239
<v Speaker 1>been together for decades, yet the demon Girl still feels

824
00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:31.760
<v Speaker 1>comfort when resting her head on Azumi's once wide and

825
00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:35.800
<v Speaker 1>strong shoulders. At his twilight years, Izumi could not help

826
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:38.000
<v Speaker 1>but remember his mother and the house they lived in.

827
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:41.119
<v Speaker 1>He remembered how she was always smiling when looking at

828
00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:44.559
<v Speaker 1>firework displays. He was certain that his mother's smile was

829
00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:47.320
<v Speaker 1>brighter than any other firework in the whole world. But

830
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:49.679
<v Speaker 1>the nagging question in the poor young man's heart was

831
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:51.360
<v Speaker 1>when his mother would ever look at him like she

832
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:54.559
<v Speaker 1>used to look at those fireworks. For a long time,

833
00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:57.559
<v Speaker 1>fireworks did not make Azumi smile. They made him weep

834
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:01.960
<v Speaker 1>and sorrow. Instead, works symbolized the uncertainty of his life.

835
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:04.760
<v Speaker 1>They reminded him of the cruel hands of fate, the

836
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:07.119
<v Speaker 1>cruel hands of the adults around him when he was little.

837
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:10.559
<v Speaker 1>Instead of being swallowed by the shadow of grief, he

838
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:12.840
<v Speaker 1>set out with the mission to make the brightest firework

839
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.599
<v Speaker 1>the world has ever seen. If he does that, maybe

840
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:18.079
<v Speaker 1>things will turn out differently. Maybe the scars of his

841
00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:21.119
<v Speaker 1>past won't hurt so much anymore, and maybe, just maybe,

842
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:23.199
<v Speaker 1>for the first time in his life, Izumi's mother would

843
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:25.960
<v Speaker 1>look at him like how she looked at fireworks. The

844
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:28.239
<v Speaker 1>young man went on a mission to please his scumbag

845
00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:30.440
<v Speaker 1>of a mother and reached the end point with something

846
00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:33.239
<v Speaker 1>so much better. In his desperate attempt to make the

847
00:40:33.239 --> 00:40:36.119
<v Speaker 1>brightest thing in the world, Izumi found the most radiant

848
00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:39.280
<v Speaker 1>woman in his eyes. The moment when he finally saw

849
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the fruits of his decades long labor was shared with

850
00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:45.440
<v Speaker 1>the woman he loves. He successfully made the brightest fireworks

851
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:48.079
<v Speaker 1>that the world has ever seen, but its luster paled

852
00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:51.559
<v Speaker 1>in comparison to his muse. As Izumi's heart beat slowly

853
00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:54.239
<v Speaker 1>fell out of sink, as the inevitable father time finally

854
00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:56.599
<v Speaker 1>started catching up to him. He did not even look

855
00:40:56.639 --> 00:40:59.280
<v Speaker 1>at the skies to see his masterpiece. He just looked

856
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:03.119
<v Speaker 1>at his wife's buseautiful smile. He trembles as breath becomes

857
00:41:03.199 --> 00:41:05.960
<v Speaker 1>ragged and his heart loses its rhythm. The last thing

858
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:08.639
<v Speaker 1>that Azumi the Dreamer saw was the most beautiful thing

859
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:11.760
<v Speaker 1>in the world. Brighter than any firework he could make,

860
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Brighter than any stars in the sky. His wife's genuine smile,

861
00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Her eyes are full of love and devotion, her mouth

862
00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:22.639
<v Speaker 1>that never stops speaking encouraging words. Izumi had a tough

863
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:25.400
<v Speaker 1>start in life, and he ended it with a beautiful explosion.

864
00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:28.599
<v Speaker 1>The demon girl got close to the only star that mattered,

865
00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:32.079
<v Speaker 1>but time and life cruelly took him too soon. When

866
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the fireworks died down, she was left with the cold,

867
00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.239
<v Speaker 1>dark night. No star in the skies could ever compare.

868
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Izumi has died with a contented smile on his face.

869
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:43.199
<v Speaker 1>He died a star's death. Now she is all alone,

870
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:45.599
<v Speaker 1>Back to square one, back to the days of not

871
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:48.239
<v Speaker 1>having anything to strive for back to a life without

872
00:41:48.280 --> 00:41:51.880
<v Speaker 1>her star. Before totally succumbing to the wheels of time,

873
00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:55.039
<v Speaker 1>Izumi managed to scribble down his last thoughts for his beloved.

874
00:41:55.719 --> 00:41:58.639
<v Speaker 1>He expressed gratitude for the time they spent together. His

875
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:00.679
<v Speaker 1>last wish is for his ashes to be turned into

876
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:03.599
<v Speaker 1>a firework. The Demon Girl didn't know what to make

877
00:42:03.639 --> 00:42:06.800
<v Speaker 1>of it. It was all so sudden. One second they

878
00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:09.599
<v Speaker 1>were sitting together, the next she was alone. The next

879
00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:11.679
<v Speaker 1>few days were a blur. She was in a constant

880
00:42:11.679 --> 00:42:14.719
<v Speaker 1>state of confusion and disbelief. The next thing you know,

881
00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:17.199
<v Speaker 1>she was back in the house burning Azumi's remains to

882
00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:20.000
<v Speaker 1>get his ashes. She carefully followed the recipe that he

883
00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:21.960
<v Speaker 1>learned from the years of watching her husband do the

884
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:25.679
<v Speaker 1>painstaking job of firework making. She fulfilled his final wish

885
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:28.199
<v Speaker 1>for his ashes to be turned into one last firework.

886
00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:30.880
<v Speaker 1>In the woods where they first met, she quietly lit

887
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:33.519
<v Speaker 1>up a small arrangement of her husband's final will. The

888
00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Demon Girl did all the motions right. She did everything

889
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:38.920
<v Speaker 1>without even thinking about it. It was like she's on autopilot.

890
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Izumi's soul, his ambition, his dream, his life, everything has

891
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:46.760
<v Speaker 1>been packed inside three tiny explosive vessels. His final explosions

892
00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:50.199
<v Speaker 1>were not particularly massive, they were not particularly bright. They

893
00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:52.960
<v Speaker 1>were modest, They were vulnerable. They were made with grief

894
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and love. It was Azumi's final contribution to the world.

895
00:42:56.679 --> 00:42:58.639
<v Speaker 1>The Demon Girl watched as that young man she fell

896
00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:02.239
<v Speaker 1>for instantly turned into nothing but a colorful memory, and

897
00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:04.599
<v Speaker 1>when the colors died down, she was left with nothing

898
00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:07.239
<v Speaker 1>at all. For the first time in a while, she

899
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:09.840
<v Speaker 1>had a different reaction other than the catatonic state that

900
00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:12.480
<v Speaker 1>she was in. Her hands trembled while she reached for

901
00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:16.280
<v Speaker 1>her face. The tears, the pain, the love, the longing,

902
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:19.360
<v Speaker 1>and everything in between. Everything came crashing down like an

903
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:23.119
<v Speaker 1>explosion of one massive firework. She was devastated. It took

904
00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:26.599
<v Speaker 1>everything in her power just to stay upright. When everything

905
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:28.679
<v Speaker 1>had been released, she was left an empty shell of

906
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:31.639
<v Speaker 1>her former self. The Demon Girl, if you haven't figured

907
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:34.800
<v Speaker 1>it out yet, is named hang as in Granny. Hang

908
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:37.519
<v Speaker 1>Izumi was the one who taught her that where he

909
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:39.719
<v Speaker 1>was from, in a different world, people shoot a lot

910
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:42.519
<v Speaker 1>of fireworks once a year. He eagerly told her the

911
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:44.760
<v Speaker 1>story about how his mom was the happiest person in

912
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the world when that day comes every year, and when

913
00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:51.519
<v Speaker 1>his mom was happy. Izumi was happy too. Izumi had

914
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:54.079
<v Speaker 1>long since connected his love of fireworks to his mom.

915
00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:57.239
<v Speaker 1>It sounds stupid, but that was the only thing pushing

916
00:43:57.280 --> 00:44:00.480
<v Speaker 1>him forward. Back then, Hang remembered Azumi saying that thanks

917
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:03.559
<v Speaker 1>to fireworks, he can still remember his mom's face, and

918
00:44:03.639 --> 00:44:05.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe through fireworks, Hang will be able to do the

919
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:10.199
<v Speaker 1>same to him. Back to the present, thousands of years later,

920
00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Granny Hang has concluded her story of how this day

921
00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:14.679
<v Speaker 1>helps demons to not forget the faces of those they

922
00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:17.320
<v Speaker 1>loved a long time ago. No matter how much time

923
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:20.480
<v Speaker 1>passes since a special person has perished, the fireworks that

924
00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:22.960
<v Speaker 1>you both looked at will never let you forget their face.

925
00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Any important person who you lost a long time ago

926
00:44:26.039 --> 00:44:28.519
<v Speaker 1>will be alive in that brief moment of beautiful explosion.

927
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:31.360
<v Speaker 1>That is why firework recipes like the one that Etami

928
00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:34.079
<v Speaker 1>carries are made. The bright light of the firework made

929
00:44:34.119 --> 00:44:36.360
<v Speaker 1>from his blood, and this recipe will bring the person

930
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:39.400
<v Speaker 1>back to life for a moment, just a little moment,

931
00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:41.880
<v Speaker 1>while the fireworks fire colors the sky with its hue.

932
00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Just as the story concluded, Granny Hang handed the former

933
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:48.199
<v Speaker 1>hero the firework that he wanted to make with that

934
00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:51.199
<v Speaker 1>tattered recipe. With this thing, he'll finally be able to

935
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.559
<v Speaker 1>see his teacher again. That woman was crass. She likes

936
00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:57.159
<v Speaker 1>to refer to Etami as idiot boy back when they

937
00:44:57.159 --> 00:44:59.400
<v Speaker 1>haven't even been introduced to each other. Today is the

938
00:44:59.480 --> 00:45:02.400
<v Speaker 1>day that Operation Calli Exitammy goes in full swing, with

939
00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Lilbro leading the charge. Tomorrow night is the official start

940
00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:08.400
<v Speaker 1>of the mission, the night of the fireworks Festival. Lil

941
00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Bro is taking this quite seriously, with Saber and his

942
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:13.280
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend forming the rest of the team. There is only

943
00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:16.280
<v Speaker 1>one main goal. Lil Bro chose to demonstrate that goal

944
00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:19.079
<v Speaker 1>using his unsettling voodoo dolls of his friend and big Sister,

945
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:23.360
<v Speaker 1>making them kiss vigorously. The Queen's personal maid is all in.

946
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:26.400
<v Speaker 1>She thinks it's a perfect idea. Lilbro's girl, on the

947
00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:29.440
<v Speaker 1>other hand, feels quite queasy at the thought. She's quite shy.

948
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:31.840
<v Speaker 1>This was a perfect plan if it were not for

949
00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:35.679
<v Speaker 1>one significant and glaring problem. Pulling out his unsettling voodoo

950
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:38.320
<v Speaker 1>dolls again, he started ramming the two against each other

951
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:41.159
<v Speaker 1>in frustration at the fact that Etami and Calli are

952
00:45:41.199 --> 00:45:44.719
<v Speaker 1>not making any effort to kiss by themselves. The first

953
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:46.679
<v Speaker 1>step of the task force is to figure out just

954
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:48.960
<v Speaker 1>why these two young and good looking couples refuse to

955
00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:52.280
<v Speaker 1>engage in some lip to lip action. When Lilbro asked

956
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:54.840
<v Speaker 1>for ideas, the first thing that came to the succubus's

957
00:45:54.920 --> 00:45:56.920
<v Speaker 1>mind was that maybe the demon Queen does not like

958
00:45:56.960 --> 00:46:00.519
<v Speaker 1>the size of a Tommy's package. Hearing this made Bilbro's

959
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:03.400
<v Speaker 1>girl blush to high heavens. It was good that Sebet

960
00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:05.960
<v Speaker 1>was engaging with the planning phase, but Lilbro just does

961
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:09.239
<v Speaker 1>not see her suggestion being the case. He thinks that

962
00:46:09.280 --> 00:46:11.239
<v Speaker 1>his sister does not like it Tommy because the poor

963
00:46:11.239 --> 00:46:13.440
<v Speaker 1>guy looks like a burned stick or something even worse.

964
00:46:13.920 --> 00:46:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Either way, the answer is quite simple. They should just

965
00:46:16.519 --> 00:46:19.559
<v Speaker 1>make it Tommy more kissable. That is, when his girl

966
00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:22.159
<v Speaker 1>comes into the picture. They desperately need her help in

967
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:24.559
<v Speaker 1>this mission. There's no one who can fix this problem

968
00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:27.639
<v Speaker 1>other than his beloved girlfriend e. Tommy can probably be

969
00:46:27.719 --> 00:46:29.840
<v Speaker 1>easily spotted if you just look at the corners of

970
00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:32.039
<v Speaker 1>the castle where a young man could cry or something.

971
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:35.119
<v Speaker 1>It is Lilbro's mission to find and make it Tommy

972
00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:39.039
<v Speaker 1>more presentable. After getting the fireworks dedicated to his teacher,

973
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Etami could not help but reminisce about his experiences with her,

974
00:46:43.119 --> 00:46:45.000
<v Speaker 1>like that night in front of the bonfire after a

975
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:48.679
<v Speaker 1>bloody battle, the legendary blade Sagi was covered with the

976
00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:52.320
<v Speaker 1>blood of enemies that the hero just slaughtered. Even up

977
00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:54.480
<v Speaker 1>to that day, his teacher still liked calling him an

978
00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:57.480
<v Speaker 1>idiotic boy. She just refused to call him by his

979
00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:00.360
<v Speaker 1>name or even hero for that matter. This woman just

980
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:02.360
<v Speaker 1>looked at him like he was a clueless waste of space.

981
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes her crast tongue was quite harsh at times. That night,

982
00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:08.679
<v Speaker 1>she asked him who he really was. Idomy was quite

983
00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:10.840
<v Speaker 1>new to this world back then. He didn't even have

984
00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:13.159
<v Speaker 1>the countless scars on his body and the gnarly mark

985
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:15.920
<v Speaker 1>on his face. He just answered that he was the Hero.

986
00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:19.079
<v Speaker 1>This was back when he still held pride in being

987
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:22.840
<v Speaker 1>dubbed and labeled as Humanity's champion, the hero, when he

988
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:24.599
<v Speaker 1>believed that he would be the one to kill the

989
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:27.559
<v Speaker 1>demon Lord and save the humans or something idiotic like that.

990
00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:30.960
<v Speaker 1>He was full of life and motivation back then, and

991
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:33.119
<v Speaker 1>the green haired mentor just looked at him with pity

992
00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:36.079
<v Speaker 1>in her eyes. Then, upon realizing that he was serious,

993
00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:38.960
<v Speaker 1>she stifled laughter by sucking an air not letting the

994
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:42.119
<v Speaker 1>rude amusement go, but she ultimately failed to contain the

995
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:45.119
<v Speaker 1>incoming chuckle. She laughed so hard that she started crying.

996
00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:48.159
<v Speaker 1>When asked why the hell would she laugh at his mission,

997
00:47:48.360 --> 00:47:50.320
<v Speaker 1>she just dismissed the pissed off at Tommy as it

998
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:53.440
<v Speaker 1>was nothing. She just felt like laughing. Back to the

999
00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:56.519
<v Speaker 1>current day, in the demon Lord's castle, Lilbro's girl is

1000
00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:59.440
<v Speaker 1>disgruntledly roaming the halls in hopes of finding that bodyguard.

1001
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:01.920
<v Speaker 1>She doesn't even like the guy, and she was supposed

1002
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:05.119
<v Speaker 1>to make him kissable somehow. Actually, she hated that young

1003
00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:07.559
<v Speaker 1>man with a passion. Every time she thinks about the

1004
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:09.559
<v Speaker 1>state that her beloved was in after his duel with

1005
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:12.760
<v Speaker 1>a Tommy, she feels weak and then the anger takes over.

1006
00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:15.199
<v Speaker 1>She hates that new Queen's bodyguard to the bone for

1007
00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:17.239
<v Speaker 1>what he did to her man. Add to that the

1008
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:19.760
<v Speaker 1>difficulty of finding a person in this gigantic maze of

1009
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:22.159
<v Speaker 1>a castle. She could not help but tremble in rage

1010
00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:25.400
<v Speaker 1>as she pulls on her hair in frustration. After yapping

1011
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:27.119
<v Speaker 1>and trying to control the sea of anger that she

1012
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:29.280
<v Speaker 1>was feeling, it was like the heavens did not want

1013
00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:31.920
<v Speaker 1>her to lose control a Tommy was just standing there

1014
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:34.559
<v Speaker 1>in front of her, lounging around like an aimless zombie.

1015
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:38.159
<v Speaker 1>Fast forward to the night of the Fireworks festival, a

1016
00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:41.000
<v Speaker 1>handsome young man with newly trimmed hair was standing amidst

1017
00:48:41.039 --> 00:48:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the bustling crowd, seemingly looking for someone. It looks like

1018
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Lilbrough's girlfriend did a magnificent job in making the former

1019
00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:50.800
<v Speaker 1>hero just a little bit more kissable. With a new

1020
00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:53.679
<v Speaker 1>fit and fresh cut, he looked much better than when

1021
00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:56.440
<v Speaker 1>he initially entered the demon Lord's castle looking like a

1022
00:48:56.440 --> 00:48:59.599
<v Speaker 1>homeless bum. The lights of the festival were bright, but

1023
00:48:59.639 --> 00:49:02.599
<v Speaker 1>the turnable darkness in the young man's eyes was still visible.

1024
00:49:03.199 --> 00:49:06.280
<v Speaker 1>He looked a lot better, though he kept on remembering

1025
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:08.840
<v Speaker 1>his mentor that night when she asked him who the

1026
00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:11.960
<v Speaker 1>hell he was. His reverie was broken when a sultry

1027
00:49:12.039 --> 00:49:14.320
<v Speaker 1>voice broke through the murmurs of the crowd, calling on

1028
00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:17.599
<v Speaker 1>to him, calling his name. He turned around, still not

1029
00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:19.320
<v Speaker 1>used to the fact that the demons around him were

1030
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:21.760
<v Speaker 1>kind enough to use his actual name. As soon as

1031
00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:23.840
<v Speaker 1>he laid eyes on the owner of the sultry voice,

1032
00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:26.280
<v Speaker 1>he felt his eyes dilate and his cheeks become a

1033
00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:29.360
<v Speaker 1>little warmer with blush. Demon Queen Calli was out of

1034
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:32.760
<v Speaker 1>her usual combat armor attire, substituting it with a traditional

1035
00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:35.599
<v Speaker 1>festival robe. It was the first time that he saw

1036
00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:38.360
<v Speaker 1>her in a different outfit. His change in the drip

1037
00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:41.280
<v Speaker 1>and hair style department also did not go unnoticed. The

1038
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:44.880
<v Speaker 1>demon Queen was surprised. Ye Tommy nonchalantly replied that he

1039
00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:47.239
<v Speaker 1>did get a cut. He has her Lilbro's girlfriend to

1040
00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:50.280
<v Speaker 1>thank for this one. For some reason, Queen Calli was

1041
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:53.559
<v Speaker 1>still harboring some deep, deep hatred for that girl she likes,

1042
00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:56.280
<v Speaker 1>calling that Taublond a bitch. Just when the confused to

1043
00:49:56.280 --> 00:49:58.559
<v Speaker 1>Tommy was about to inquire about that choice of words,

1044
00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the Queen was already rushing to his Callie was quite strong.

1045
00:50:02.679 --> 00:50:05.119
<v Speaker 1>She's a demon overlord after all, so she could just

1046
00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:07.719
<v Speaker 1>easily drag her bodyguard through the streets to avoid talking

1047
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:10.800
<v Speaker 1>about that hateful blonde amongst the crowd. That same woman

1048
00:50:10.880 --> 00:50:13.559
<v Speaker 1>was just standing menacingly near one of the festival stands.

1049
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:16.239
<v Speaker 1>It looks like she also decided to wear a traditional robe.

1050
00:50:16.599 --> 00:50:19.159
<v Speaker 1>You can never see her eyes under those egregious bangs,

1051
00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:21.480
<v Speaker 1>so it is quite difficult to figure out just what

1052
00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:24.400
<v Speaker 1>she was thinking at any given moment, but at that

1053
00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:26.559
<v Speaker 1>moment you could tell that she was furious with what

1054
00:50:26.679 --> 00:50:30.440
<v Speaker 1>she heard. This was the gratitude she received for her efforts.

1055
00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:34.880
<v Speaker 1>A few days ago, Lilbro's girl essentially abducted a Tommy

1056
00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:37.159
<v Speaker 1>while he was roaming the castle halls like a zombie

1057
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:39.639
<v Speaker 1>to give him a forced makeover. While she had him

1058
00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:41.719
<v Speaker 1>strapped to the chair, I Tommy did not know what

1059
00:50:41.800 --> 00:50:44.440
<v Speaker 1>was going on. Her mind was stuck on the image

1060
00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:47.920
<v Speaker 1>of her man's condition after that horrible fight. She had

1061
00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:51.079
<v Speaker 1>her scissors ready. It was supposed to be for cutting hair,

1062
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:53.239
<v Speaker 1>but there were brief moments when she had the urge

1063
00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:56.360
<v Speaker 1>to just cut or stab at Tommy on the neck. Meanwhile,

1064
00:50:56.400 --> 00:50:59.159
<v Speaker 1>the former hero was just behaving politely. He was getting

1065
00:50:59.159 --> 00:51:02.320
<v Speaker 1>a free hair cut, after all. It's also too quiet

1066
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:04.559
<v Speaker 1>in the room. He thinks that he should maybe strike

1067
00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:08.719
<v Speaker 1>up a conversation. Her thoughts were vastly different, though she

1068
00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:12.280
<v Speaker 1>got murder on her mind. Itami spoke up. He told

1069
00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:13.960
<v Speaker 1>her that his big sister used to cut his hair

1070
00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:15.920
<v Speaker 1>like this. That was way back when he was in

1071
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:18.559
<v Speaker 1>a different world which he disguised as home village. But

1072
00:51:18.599 --> 00:51:21.480
<v Speaker 1>when he became a hero disguised as an adventurer. Now

1073
00:51:21.519 --> 00:51:23.559
<v Speaker 1>he can't go to his big sister for haircuts as

1074
00:51:23.599 --> 00:51:26.559
<v Speaker 1>it's just too far. Because of that, Etami has had

1075
00:51:26.599 --> 00:51:28.480
<v Speaker 1>this mess on his head for a long time now.

1076
00:51:29.159 --> 00:51:32.639
<v Speaker 1>This conversation was dangerous. There were multiple times when he

1077
00:51:32.679 --> 00:51:35.960
<v Speaker 1>almost slipped up and revealed himself as the hero. As

1078
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the tall blonde continued to cut his hair with some

1079
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:40.800
<v Speaker 1>occasional thoughts of slitting his throat, Etami was enduring the

1080
00:51:40.840 --> 00:51:43.800
<v Speaker 1>awkward silence between them. She finally opened her mouth and

1081
00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:46.719
<v Speaker 1>blurted out her first words to him. She asked him

1082
00:51:46.719 --> 00:51:48.639
<v Speaker 1>if he was lonely that nobody could cut his hair

1083
00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:52.000
<v Speaker 1>since becoming an adventurer. Itami honestly answered that that's not

1084
00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:53.880
<v Speaker 1>exactly the case, as there were some people in his

1085
00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:56.039
<v Speaker 1>time in this world that cared. He used to have

1086
00:51:56.079 --> 00:51:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the best teacher in the world and a little girl

1087
00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:00.400
<v Speaker 1>who used to call him big brother. They were happy

1088
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:03.400
<v Speaker 1>back then. He could not forget how rambunctious, crass, and

1089
00:52:03.480 --> 00:52:05.920
<v Speaker 1>loud that mentor of his was. He also could not

1090
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:08.280
<v Speaker 1>forget how sweet and caring that little girl that he

1091
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:10.800
<v Speaker 1>looked at as a little sister was back then. But

1092
00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:13.679
<v Speaker 1>misfortune has never stopped following him in this god forsaken land.

1093
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:17.039
<v Speaker 1>That little girl's innocent smile turned into pain and shock

1094
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:19.519
<v Speaker 1>when her head was impaled on a stake. The best

1095
00:52:19.519 --> 00:52:21.679
<v Speaker 1>teacher one could ask for has died in his arms

1096
00:52:21.719 --> 00:52:25.079
<v Speaker 1>after a grueling battle with superior powers. One way or another,

1097
00:52:25.360 --> 00:52:29.360
<v Speaker 1>he always ended up losing everything, losing everyone important to him.

1098
00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:34.039
<v Speaker 1>Hearing Atami recalling his losses actually made Blondie cry unconsciously.

1099
00:52:34.679 --> 00:52:37.280
<v Speaker 1>In hopes of not looking soft, she insisted that she

1100
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:41.679
<v Speaker 1>doesn't cry, she just condenses sweat in her eyes. The

1101
00:52:41.719 --> 00:52:44.480
<v Speaker 1>hairstyling session lasted quite long, but she was amazing with

1102
00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:47.639
<v Speaker 1>the scissors. Every cut was perfectly done. It was a

1103
00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:50.760
<v Speaker 1>one premium service all in all. At the tail end

1104
00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:54.000
<v Speaker 1>of the session, she started thinking about Noah again, also

1105
00:52:54.039 --> 00:52:56.800
<v Speaker 1>known as Lil Bro. She would not be able to

1106
00:52:56.800 --> 00:52:58.960
<v Speaker 1>forget the night that they found Noah after the fight

1107
00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:02.559
<v Speaker 1>against Etami. They did their best with what they must

1108
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:05.559
<v Speaker 1>treat him. The poor guy could not even eat without help.

1109
00:53:06.199 --> 00:53:08.679
<v Speaker 1>Noah said that his opponent was injured as badly as

1110
00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:10.719
<v Speaker 1>he was, and they did not think much of it

1111
00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:13.920
<v Speaker 1>at that time. Now that they know who a Tommy was,

1112
00:53:14.199 --> 00:53:16.239
<v Speaker 1>how kind and hard working he is as a person,

1113
00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:18.719
<v Speaker 1>She begins to think about how much he must have

1114
00:53:18.760 --> 00:53:21.480
<v Speaker 1>suffered with all those grievous injuries when nobody was there

1115
00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:24.480
<v Speaker 1>to take care of him. Of all people, she would

1116
00:53:24.480 --> 00:53:26.079
<v Speaker 1>be one of the few that fully know just how

1117
00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:29.199
<v Speaker 1>it feels when you are left completely alone. She was

1118
00:53:29.239 --> 00:53:31.239
<v Speaker 1>an elf in the castle of the Demon Lord. To

1119
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:35.159
<v Speaker 1>make matters worse, she has cut ears. In demon culture

1120
00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:38.119
<v Speaker 1>and even Elvin culture, having your ears cut is a

1121
00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:41.840
<v Speaker 1>sign of big shame. She had finally finished at Tommy's makeover,

1122
00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:44.559
<v Speaker 1>and it was glorious. This man that she just gave

1123
00:53:44.559 --> 00:53:46.800
<v Speaker 1>a hair cut to dared to touch someone who truly

1124
00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:49.679
<v Speaker 1>loved her, even despite all her flaws. Despite her shameful

1125
00:53:49.719 --> 00:53:52.960
<v Speaker 1>cut ears. Noah is a kind soul. He's the brother

1126
00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:55.239
<v Speaker 1>of the Demon Lord, but he's a good person. He

1127
00:53:55.360 --> 00:53:57.639
<v Speaker 1>easily forgave it Tommy for what they did to each other,

1128
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:00.599
<v Speaker 1>But Blondie just cannot find it within herself to forgive

1129
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and forget. As she was thinking of that, in the

1130
00:54:03.000 --> 00:54:05.440
<v Speaker 1>middle of the festival crowd, Noah came in and gave

1131
00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:08.320
<v Speaker 1>her a childish fright. Of course, that earned him a

1132
00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:10.159
<v Speaker 1>full powered hit on the top of the head for

1133
00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:13.480
<v Speaker 1>being a childish idiot. Noah and his girl eventually made up,

1134
00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and they are now going on a stroll around the festival,

1135
00:54:16.039 --> 00:54:19.119
<v Speaker 1>perusing the stalls and enjoying the celebrations while holding each

1136
00:54:19.119 --> 00:54:22.360
<v Speaker 1>other's hands. He got her a caramel apple to munch

1137
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:24.800
<v Speaker 1>on while they were walking around. It looked like she

1138
00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:27.599
<v Speaker 1>likes sweets. For some reason, she wanted to look at

1139
00:54:27.599 --> 00:54:30.079
<v Speaker 1>Noah from the side, her cut left ear protruding out

1140
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:32.119
<v Speaker 1>of her hair. But she was not the only one

1141
00:54:32.119 --> 00:54:34.840
<v Speaker 1>bearing the cut of shame in the vicinity. Noah had

1142
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:37.760
<v Speaker 1>it too. Both of their left ears were shamefully cut

1143
00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:40.599
<v Speaker 1>for some reason. Noah called her attention while she was

1144
00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:43.960
<v Speaker 1>busy staring into his left ear. With his usual laid

1145
00:54:43.960 --> 00:54:46.320
<v Speaker 1>back tone, he admitted that she did a good job

1146
00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:49.760
<v Speaker 1>in making a Tommy ultra kissable. In fact, she was

1147
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:52.119
<v Speaker 1>so good that even Lilbro himself wanted to give the

1148
00:54:52.159 --> 00:54:55.400
<v Speaker 1>guy a kiss. But on a more serious note, this

1149
00:54:55.519 --> 00:54:57.639
<v Speaker 1>means a lot to Noah, and he was grateful to

1150
00:54:57.679 --> 00:54:59.480
<v Speaker 1>his girl for going through with it, even though it

1151
00:54:59.519 --> 00:55:03.039
<v Speaker 1>was a tough ask. He knows that she hates humans,

1152
00:55:03.400 --> 00:55:06.079
<v Speaker 1>especially ones that dared to hurt her loved ones. She

1153
00:55:06.159 --> 00:55:08.320
<v Speaker 1>still went through with the assignment to help his friend,

1154
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:11.880
<v Speaker 1>and Noah could not appreciate it more. In that moment

1155
00:55:11.880 --> 00:55:14.800
<v Speaker 1>of genuine words, she could not help but blush. Noah

1156
00:55:14.800 --> 00:55:16.800
<v Speaker 1>may be childish at times, but he can be quite

1157
00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:19.599
<v Speaker 1>mature in his own right. Moments like this one make

1158
00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:22.239
<v Speaker 1>her remember that horrible memory when she was captured by

1159
00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:25.320
<v Speaker 1>human poachers. Those people are messed up in their heads.

1160
00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:29.440
<v Speaker 1>They wanted to try what Elf ears tasted like. Her

1161
00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:31.440
<v Speaker 1>family does not have enough money to buy her back,

1162
00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:33.960
<v Speaker 1>so the kidnappers were essentially free to do what they

1163
00:55:34.039 --> 00:55:37.400
<v Speaker 1>wanted to the little elf girl. She was defenseless, vulnerable,

1164
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:40.159
<v Speaker 1>and scared. But in that moment, the voice of another

1165
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:42.920
<v Speaker 1>child yelling at the kidnappers to stop touching her gave

1166
00:55:42.960 --> 00:55:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the little Elf girl a glint of hope. The kidnappers

1167
00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:47.960
<v Speaker 1>almost forgot that they had another captive in one of

1168
00:55:48.039 --> 00:55:51.000
<v Speaker 1>the cages. They caught this kid with other demons near

1169
00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the border of human demon territory. It was a young Noah,

1170
00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:57.760
<v Speaker 1>a demon child that was evidently tortured throughout the span

1171
00:55:57.880 --> 00:56:01.039
<v Speaker 1>of his stay in this hell hole. The kidnappers agreed

1172
00:56:01.079 --> 00:56:03.159
<v Speaker 1>to take their grubby hands off from the Elf girl,

1173
00:56:03.599 --> 00:56:05.320
<v Speaker 1>but they would need to eat something else for that

1174
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:08.920
<v Speaker 1>to happen. Their counter offer was that they'll just cut

1175
00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:12.599
<v Speaker 1>and eat Noah's ears instead. These kidnappers knew the cultural

1176
00:56:12.599 --> 00:56:15.280
<v Speaker 1>significance and shame that demons hold for those that have

1177
00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:18.119
<v Speaker 1>their ears cut. The kidnapper held up the elf girl

1178
00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:20.239
<v Speaker 1>in front of him, asking a little kid if he

1179
00:56:20.280 --> 00:56:22.000
<v Speaker 1>was ready to take on that shame for the sake

1180
00:56:22.039 --> 00:56:24.639
<v Speaker 1>of an unknown elf who was essentially abandoned even by

1181
00:56:24.639 --> 00:56:27.639
<v Speaker 1>her family. Noah does not even have to do anything anymore.

1182
00:56:27.920 --> 00:56:30.719
<v Speaker 1>His family is royalty, so they've agreed to buy him back.

1183
00:56:31.199 --> 00:56:33.719
<v Speaker 1>The kidnapper added that his father will be very disappointed

1184
00:56:33.719 --> 00:56:35.480
<v Speaker 1>when he comes back to the castle with the mark

1185
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:38.639
<v Speaker 1>of shame. But even as a kid, Noah was as

1186
00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:41.559
<v Speaker 1>decisive as one can be. His father taught him that

1187
00:56:41.559 --> 00:56:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a demon's role in the world is to help weak creatures,

1188
00:56:44.599 --> 00:56:46.719
<v Speaker 1>and looking at the eyes of that poor little girl,

1189
00:56:46.880 --> 00:56:48.719
<v Speaker 1>there's no one in this place that needs help more

1190
00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:51.800
<v Speaker 1>than she does. Even if it costs him a life

1191
00:56:51.840 --> 00:56:54.519
<v Speaker 1>of shame, even if they take away his honor, even

1192
00:56:54.559 --> 00:56:57.360
<v Speaker 1>if it hurts like hell, he will gladly refuse himself

1193
00:56:57.400 --> 00:57:00.679
<v Speaker 1>as a proud member of the royalty. Nooah will clench

1194
00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:03.239
<v Speaker 1>his teeth and take the pain silently as a true demon.

1195
00:57:03.920 --> 00:57:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Until now, that grown up elf girl still remembers how

1196
00:57:06.719 --> 00:57:11.000
<v Speaker 1>resolute and determined Noah's eyes looked like back in that dungeon. Her,

1197
00:57:11.199 --> 00:57:13.440
<v Speaker 1>on the other hand, was just a helpless little girl

1198
00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:15.639
<v Speaker 1>that has given up hope, full of fear for what's

1199
00:57:15.639 --> 00:57:18.639
<v Speaker 1>about to happen. Those painful memories have never left her mind,

1200
00:57:18.679 --> 00:57:21.960
<v Speaker 1>even until now. Every day that passes by, the gratitude

1201
00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:24.960
<v Speaker 1>and love she feels for Noah continuously grow. She would

1202
00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:27.559
<v Speaker 1>do anything for this man. Back to our main couple,

1203
00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Calli and a Tommy have gotten out of the chaos

1204
00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:31.800
<v Speaker 1>of the main street where the festival stalls and the

1205
00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:34.800
<v Speaker 1>people were clamoring. They both prefer the quiet of the

1206
00:57:34.800 --> 00:57:38.519
<v Speaker 1>cliff above the market. Besides, this is the best view

1207
00:57:38.519 --> 00:57:41.360
<v Speaker 1>to watch the fireworks. It should be starting soon, but

1208
00:57:41.440 --> 00:57:43.519
<v Speaker 1>it looks like they arrived a little early, so they

1209
00:57:43.519 --> 00:57:46.320
<v Speaker 1>will need to wait just a little bit longer. Before

1210
00:57:46.320 --> 00:57:49.119
<v Speaker 1>the fireworks even started, the night sky was already putting

1211
00:57:49.119 --> 00:57:51.440
<v Speaker 1>on a show as a meteor shower started raining down.

1212
00:57:52.119 --> 00:57:55.159
<v Speaker 1>Idomy stared at the stars, intently, moved by its vastness

1213
00:57:55.159 --> 00:57:58.039
<v Speaker 1>and beauty. Queen Calli did not do the same. She

1214
00:57:58.079 --> 00:57:59.960
<v Speaker 1>wanted to look at her bodyguard. She wanted to fee

1215
00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:02.840
<v Speaker 1>figure out what he was thinking. While she was lost

1216
00:58:02.840 --> 00:58:05.239
<v Speaker 1>in thought looking at the young man, she started to

1217
00:58:05.239 --> 00:58:08.440
<v Speaker 1>recall their first meeting. For some reason, Ittami looked like

1218
00:58:08.480 --> 00:58:11.079
<v Speaker 1>a homeless bum. But what's more striking was how he

1219
00:58:11.119 --> 00:58:13.519
<v Speaker 1>looked like a lost soul that just wanted his suffering

1220
00:58:13.559 --> 00:58:17.760
<v Speaker 1>to finally end. Without thinking much further, Calli decided to

1221
00:58:17.800 --> 00:58:20.719
<v Speaker 1>ask him why he wanted to die that day. Ittami

1222
00:58:20.760 --> 00:58:22.719
<v Speaker 1>took a pause for a moment, thinking of how exactly

1223
00:58:22.719 --> 00:58:25.719
<v Speaker 1>to answer that extremely loaded question. He finally opened his

1224
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:28.039
<v Speaker 1>mouth and just answered the first thing that came to mind.

1225
00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:30.320
<v Speaker 1>He wanted the demon queen to kill him at that

1226
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:32.119
<v Speaker 1>time because he felt like he was at the bottom

1227
00:58:32.119 --> 00:58:34.719
<v Speaker 1>of a toilet clogged with shit. Ittomi did not know

1228
00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:37.480
<v Speaker 1>anything about this world at all. Because of that fact,

1229
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:40.039
<v Speaker 1>he just chose to trust those that had summoned him here,

1230
00:58:40.599 --> 00:58:42.599
<v Speaker 1>the people that tore him away from his home world.

1231
00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:45.719
<v Speaker 1>And when he finally started to understand how this world works,

1232
00:58:45.800 --> 00:58:47.800
<v Speaker 1>he had already lost those people that have grown near

1233
00:58:47.840 --> 00:58:50.880
<v Speaker 1>and dear to his heart. Understanding the whole situation between

1234
00:58:50.880 --> 00:58:54.719
<v Speaker 1>demons and humans, he started hating himself. He felt shame

1235
00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:58.599
<v Speaker 1>and regret for his deplorable actions in hindsight, whenever he

1236
00:58:58.639 --> 00:59:00.800
<v Speaker 1>has to see his reflection in mere or in water,

1237
00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:04.719
<v Speaker 1>he's immediately hit with the urge to vomit. For someone

1238
00:59:04.760 --> 00:59:07.320
<v Speaker 1>deemed as the savior of humanity, the supposed hero of

1239
00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the story, his feelings for the whole thing were anything

1240
00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:12.920
<v Speaker 1>but heroic. To that, the demon Queen just posed a

1241
00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:16.360
<v Speaker 1>very simple question. She asked if Eammi understands that it's

1242
00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:18.679
<v Speaker 1>not necessary for him to be the hero of the story,

1243
00:59:18.960 --> 00:59:20.760
<v Speaker 1>as if he was just hit with a ton of bricks.

1244
00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:24.119
<v Speaker 1>His worldview started collapsing when Calli continued to ask him

1245
00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:25.719
<v Speaker 1>if he even wanted to be the hero in the

1246
00:59:25.760 --> 00:59:28.000
<v Speaker 1>first place. He has never heard of that question in

1247
00:59:28.039 --> 00:59:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the limited time that he has been trapped in this

1248
00:59:29.880 --> 00:59:32.599
<v Speaker 1>foreign world. What does it even mean to be a hero?

1249
00:59:33.039 --> 00:59:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Itami started spiraling until he eventually found himself recalling his

1250
00:59:36.360 --> 00:59:38.599
<v Speaker 1>time in the big city in his home world, with

1251
00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:41.920
<v Speaker 1>his sister constantly calling him her hero, but in an

1252
00:59:42.039 --> 00:59:44.519
<v Speaker 1>entirely different way of being one. In the new world,

1253
00:59:44.719 --> 00:59:47.039
<v Speaker 1>she calls him a hero whenever he saves her tummy

1254
00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:50.800
<v Speaker 1>with his amazing cooking. He always insists that she should

1255
00:59:50.840 --> 00:59:52.840
<v Speaker 1>not thank him for things like this, as she has

1256
00:59:52.880 --> 00:59:56.639
<v Speaker 1>been working two jobs just so they could survive. This

1257
00:59:56.800 --> 00:59:59.039
<v Speaker 1>much is nothing compared to what she has been constantly

1258
00:59:59.039 --> 01:00:02.079
<v Speaker 1>doing for him there in time lives, his sister loved

1259
01:00:02.119 --> 01:00:04.800
<v Speaker 1>him very much. To her, there is no one kinder

1260
01:00:04.840 --> 01:00:08.079
<v Speaker 1>and cuterer than her baby brother. Likewise, she believes that

1261
01:00:08.079 --> 01:00:10.199
<v Speaker 1>she's just doing what a big sister was supposed to do.

1262
01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:13.239
<v Speaker 1>She's even sad that she can't do more and provide more,

1263
01:00:14.159 --> 01:00:16.199
<v Speaker 1>but there is still hope and he does not need

1264
01:00:16.239 --> 01:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to worry. She is certain that she will eventually make

1265
01:00:18.880 --> 01:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>a huge discovery in the field of string theory, then

1266
01:00:21.760 --> 01:00:23.719
<v Speaker 1>the money will come in like a free flowing river

1267
01:00:23.800 --> 01:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>from that point on. Since their mom died, the siblings

1268
01:00:26.920 --> 01:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>have had some rough times together, but she assured her

1269
01:00:29.480 --> 01:00:32.480
<v Speaker 1>little brother that there was no need to worry. His

1270
01:00:32.599 --> 01:00:35.039
<v Speaker 1>reliable big sister will eventually take care of everything and

1271
01:00:35.079 --> 01:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>they will be able to live a life of comfort.

1272
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:39.679
<v Speaker 1>It was at this very moment that the event that

1273
01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:42.559
<v Speaker 1>drastically changed the course of the sibling's life took place.

1274
01:00:43.840 --> 01:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>The whole tiny apartment was filled with bright green light,

1275
01:00:47.400 --> 01:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and to Tommy was the source of this anomaly. Bit

1276
01:00:49.880 --> 01:00:52.719
<v Speaker 1>by bit, his body was consumed by this mysterious green light,

1277
01:00:53.079 --> 01:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>seemingly consuming him from head to toe. The last thing

1278
01:00:55.960 --> 01:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>he did before being transported to another world was called

1279
01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>out to his sister with fear plaster all over his face,

1280
01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>confusion in his eyes. The view of the apartment and

1281
01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:07.079
<v Speaker 1>his reliable big sister was slowly replaced by the view

1282
01:01:07.079 --> 01:01:09.519
<v Speaker 1>of a massive room that almost looked like a cathedral.

1283
01:01:09.960 --> 01:01:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Then came the grating, pompous voice of the man that

1284
01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:13.639
<v Speaker 1>made his life hell for the past two and a

1285
01:01:13.679 --> 01:01:16.639
<v Speaker 1>half years. The man called him the name that would

1286
01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:18.679
<v Speaker 1>stick and make him sick to the stomach whenever he

1287
01:01:18.679 --> 01:01:22.639
<v Speaker 1>hears it. Hero a foolish king with all the wealth, prestige,

1288
01:01:22.679 --> 01:01:25.079
<v Speaker 1>and authority in the kingdom. The man that would kill

1289
01:01:25.119 --> 01:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>his will to live, has summoned him to have the

1290
01:01:26.800 --> 01:01:30.239
<v Speaker 1>so called honor to save the kingdom. Looking back, one

1291
01:01:30.280 --> 01:01:32.039
<v Speaker 1>of the first things that the king had ordered him

1292
01:01:32.039 --> 01:01:34.079
<v Speaker 1>to do was be grateful that his life had meaning.

1293
01:01:34.119 --> 01:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Now that alone should have been a massive red flag.

1294
01:01:37.960 --> 01:01:39.639
<v Speaker 1>He did not ask for this. He did not know

1295
01:01:39.679 --> 01:01:42.239
<v Speaker 1>where he was, who this arrogant prick was, and what

1296
01:01:42.280 --> 01:01:45.039
<v Speaker 1>the hell happened to his sister. That's how he ended

1297
01:01:45.119 --> 01:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>up in this magical world, and the rest of the

1298
01:01:47.519 --> 01:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>story of our depressed hero will be coming soon. Don't

1299
01:01:50.360 --> 01:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>miss it. B
