00:00Why am I telling this story all of a sudden?
00:29I was supposed to be doing a mock interview with Marinus to train his communication skills, but now we somehow wound up here.

02:21Your answer?
02:22Yeah?
02:23You said you wanted to join us to bring ruin to humanity, right?
02:28But that's a lie.
02:37I thought I'd eventually get this question from Shatina if it was anyone.
02:41Surprised it's coming from you.
02:43You specifically told me to see it from their point of view and try to figure out what they want to talk about.
02:49So that's why I'm putting myself in your shoes.
02:53But I realized something, though.
02:55You don't need us to help at all, actually.
02:57You could very easily destroy humanity on your own if you desire to.
03:03Wow, check you out.
03:04If you can already empathize on that kind of level, well, that makes you a master communicator, you know?
03:09Okay, let me go get you a certificate for that one.
03:12Let's see, where is it?
03:15Oh, here.
03:16I've got 10 meal tickets for the rat restaurant.
03:18Congrats!
03:19Don't dodge the question.
03:22Why haven't you destroyed them yet?
03:26You're preaching to the choir, bud.
03:27Why haven't I?
03:28Stop being dumb!
03:30Careful with that!
03:34Be honest.
03:35Weren't you angry?
03:39You gave your all to protect them.
03:42And they threw you away without a second thought.
03:45You risked your life fighting us on their behalf.
03:48You never just wanted them dead?
03:51Because I sure did.
03:54You must have looked into my past by now, haven't you?
03:57A little bit.
03:59I am aware that you happen to be half human, half demon.
04:04Humans were frightened of you, so your parents sold you into slavery, sadly.
04:10And after serving various masters, you ended up bought by the Assassin's Guild.
04:15That's right.
04:16The Guild thought I'd be expendable.
04:18They assumed I'd die taking out my first and only target.
04:23But for better or for worse...
04:28I was a good enough assassin to survive.
04:31All of you...
04:32deserve to die.
04:35That's why I was supportive of the Demon Army's invasion.
04:40I desperately wanted them to finish off humanity.
04:43It would just be for the better.
04:55Your Highness!
04:56I have news!
04:57The castle gates have opened for us!
04:59Really?
05:03Okay.
05:04We shall take advantage of this!
05:05All troops, move in!
05:10Charge!
05:13I raced ahead of their forces and secretly gave them my assistance.
05:18However...
05:36Be at ease!
05:37We have not come to slaughter you or your people!
05:43Our objective's in the capital, in the city of Rinnai!
05:46We have plans to rebuild your town, as it shall soon become our new base of operations!
05:51We have also captured your corrupt mayor and shall deal with him!
05:56You won't believe just how much food there is in this castle!
05:59Come get some! Let's share it together!
06:03Okay, line up!
06:04Why didn't we kill them?
06:06This is all but a giant waste of our precious time!
06:13Despite my doubts and frustration, I made contact with Echidna.
06:18And joined the army under false pretenses.
06:24Shouldn't we leave this town and proceed forward?
06:26Yes, we'll go tomorrow.
06:27Tonight, though, the populace is providing us with a grand welcome! See?
06:36We cannot thank you guys enough. You've liberated our people and have restored peace to us.
06:41Please think nothing of it! It was a necessary part of our own plan!
06:44Isn't that yummy? You should try some of this! Does anyone want refills on juice?
06:49How insane is this? We're mid-invasion yet hosting a feast?
06:53Well, I do understand your frustration here, Maris.
06:55This is an all-important part of Queen Echidna's strategy, so there's no need to worry.
06:59Non-stop fighting will lead to our troops burning out.
07:02This gives them a chance to rest up.
07:04But there's much more to it than just recuperating.
07:07It gives her time to speak one-on-one with her subordinates, which in turn helps reignite their motivation.
07:13Their motivation?
07:15I've noticed how hard you've been working.
07:17I-I'm honored that you think so, ma'am!
07:20This is ridiculous.
07:22Our queen is a strange one, isn't she? You gotta love her.
07:26If I'm being totally honest here, before I joined up with her, I thought the army was an evil force hellbent on destroying humanity.
07:33Yeah, no kidding. I thought so too.
07:35That's why I said no when they asked me to join.
07:39Yes, there are plenty of horrible humans, that's just a fact.
07:42But that don't mean they all deserve to burn just because of those guys.
07:46But then I saw that this is who they really are.
07:49That's why I changed my mind.
07:52Besides, no man or woman who loves good ale can be a villain!
07:56Well said indeed!
07:57Ha ha ha ha!
07:59Ha ha ha ha!
08:01Hey Mernes, I'm rather curious as to why you personally joined the demon army.
08:07I couldn't tell them I joined with the hopes of wiping out the human race.
08:12No reason.
08:14You know, Mernes, I am quite thankful to have you among us. I'll need your help again tomorrow.
08:21We'll have the Philosopher's Stone in hand soon enough and the demon world shall finally become a paradise!
08:26Would you like to join us there?
08:28I think you'd like living somewhere peaceful and quiet, right?
08:35I'm tired.
08:36Hold on, you're leaving already?
08:38Aw, but I was really looking forward to hanging out with you though!
08:42Whatever.
08:43If it comes down to it, I'm not afraid to take out Echidna and lead the demon army myself to destroy humanity.
08:51After that, I became one of the great generals.
08:55And I half-heartedly helped lead them.
08:57Despite that, our brilliant forces had a successful campaign.
09:01Well, that is, successful until someone came along.
09:06Do you mean me?
09:08What did I say, remember?
09:21I've lost, so just get it over with.
09:24If you don't kill me, then someday I'll exterminate humanity.
09:29Oh, come on, don't be a sore loser. You're acting like you've never seen anything cool in your entire life.
09:36Go out and see the world a little, would you?
09:39What do you mean?
09:40Look, I've done that plenty already, and frankly, I'm rather bored of it.
09:44To me, this world sucks, and no matter what you say, nothing in it will ever be cool.
09:48That's because you've only experienced this bad boy as an assassin, you dummy.
09:55Believe me, the world looks way more different when you're seeing it on your own terms, not just for work.
10:01As if it's that easy.
10:03Supposedly so, but it's not like I'd know that, though.
10:06What?
10:07In any case, here's my advice for you right now.
10:09Do yourself a favor, go out in the world and seek out something that you've never seen before.
10:14If you still want to die after that, I'll kill you myself.
10:17Oh, and if you do something evil, I'll kill you anyway, so be good, okay?
10:22I'll see ya!
10:28You spouted off all those high and mighty words during that encounter.
10:32Why did you decide to up and quit? To destroy humanity?
10:36I now know for a fact that's a bold-faced lie. I don't care what happens to them.
10:42You, though.
10:43I do not hate mankind.
10:45Exactly. I can tell that you've got something else going on in there.
10:49I mean, why else would you have said all that stuff to me?
10:54I just don't get it.
10:57They betrayed you, and normally people get angry when that happens.
11:01You get sad and you hate them. Passionately.
11:04Whoa.
11:06Man, I'm learning way too many new details about these guys now that I've joined their side.
11:12The prim and proper Shatina is a klutz who barely keeps herself afloat.
11:17The brainless Wildchild is a diligent good kid.
11:21And now we've got Marinus.
11:24He's the uncaring, unfeeling, tragic assassin who struggles with teenage angst.
11:30The reason he kept quiet after hearing my reasons for joining wasn't that he didn't like me, surprisingly.
11:36He heard how I'd been exiled by humanity and felt for me from the bottom of his heart.
11:42Hey, come on, don't cry on me. Now I feel like this is all my fault.
11:47Just shut up.
11:50Look, I won't say anything, so just tell me.
11:53Just tell me.
12:04Alright, I'll spill it. I just got fed up.
12:07Getting told we don't need you and kill the hero made me feel pretty shitty to be honest, so I removed myself.
12:13Huh?
12:14Especially since I've been defending humanity for a long time.
12:17How long exactly?
12:19What?
12:20Let me tell you about the world from when I was born.
12:23It was a long, long time ago.
12:25What am I telling him this for?
12:27It was the height of industrial civilization.
12:30And even before magic came into common use.
12:33The land was shaped a bit differently than it is now.
12:36And where the capital currently stands, there stood the city called Tokyo.
12:45We launched rockets into the Sea of Stars.
12:48Encircled the Earth with swarms of man-made satellites.
12:52And an invisible high-speed communication network connected the entire planet.
12:56There was a little tension between some nations, but mostly peace overall.
13:00And unlike our diverse world that you know, mine was made up of only humans.
13:04You're not going to believe the prize.
13:05Then one day...
13:09A hole suddenly opened up in the middle of the city.
13:18What?
13:21From that hole came Imps, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins, Succubi, and Incubi.
13:27All manner of demons we are well acquainted with now.
13:31But back then, that wasn't the case.
13:33We only had a blanket term for them, and referred to them as demons.
13:37Just like Echidna, they were sick of the dark, horrific demon world.
13:42And came to the human world seeking its warmth and light away from the misery.
13:45Many tried to peacefully coexist alongside humanity, but others opted for violence.
13:52What was our world going to do?
13:54Fight back, of course.
13:56What had started on an eastern island nation spread around the world.
14:00And it wasn't long until there was a full-out world war on demon kind.
14:05And sadly, humans back then were as weak as they are now.
14:10It took dozens of humans just to get rid of one demon.
14:13Our weapons are too weak!
14:16We need an unstoppable weapon that can protect mankind from this demonic threat!
14:21Now is the time for humanity to join together as one!
14:25To kill a demon, we must create a demon ourselves.
14:29The project is nearly complete.
14:31We've used the demon's own power to forge twelve powerful weapons.
14:35Living beings with limitless potential to evolve, grow, and protect humanity.
14:40The Demon Heart Series!
14:43As of now, only one Demon Heart survived.
14:48And that's me.
14:51So you're a living weapon. Huh.
14:55What the hell does that even mean?
14:58From the moment I was born, I was a hero.
15:01I knew no other way of life.
15:04My orders were planted at inception.
15:07Protect humanity.
15:09And of course, save the world.
15:14All heroes grow old and die.
15:17But I was made to be extremely durable and long-lived.
15:22The other DH Series models fell in battle.
15:26One by one, until at last...
15:30I was the only surviving hero.
15:38Actually, I'll put it this way.
15:41It sounds morbid, but I'd missed my chance to die.
15:46Even after the industrial world fell and magic replaced machinery,
15:51I still went on living my life.
15:54It happened so long ago, I can barely remember it.
15:58Whenever war erupted, I was always there to fight.
16:02At this point, I had grown too strong to ever die in battle.
16:08Protect humanity.
16:10Save the world.
16:12Those were my orders.
16:14But were they the right things to do?
16:16Was I just keeping humanity dependent on me?
16:27No one could answer those questions for me.
16:30Even so...
16:32But it's not like I'd know that, though.
16:35I couldn't just up and abandon my duty to protect the world.
16:42And then recently, the whole world pushed me aside, as you know.
16:46Sure, I was a little bit upset to hear it at first.
16:49But truthfully, I wasn't really all that sad.
16:53I was glad.
16:55It's what I wanted.
16:58But why is that?
17:01That's right.
17:02I was really happy, wasn't I?
17:06Yeah, I remember now.
17:09Those warm words of
17:11We don't need you, and let's kill him
17:14were the most meaningful words I'd ever heard at that time.
17:17It finally gave me that push I needed.
17:20A chance to quit heroing once and for all.
17:23A reason to walk away.
17:25I don't have to protect humanity.
17:28And do you know what's great?
17:30The next time they need protection, I can just do whatever.
17:33I can be myself.
17:35Go see the parts of the world I want to see, and on my own terms at that.
17:41You get it now?
17:43I get a second chance at life, thankfully.
17:45I'm doing what I always wanted to do.
17:47Join the demons.
17:49Hold on.
17:51I'm glad it came to this.
17:52Hold on.
17:54I'm glad Echidna didn't leave and go back to the demon world.
17:56You do know about her father, Demon King Cycreus?
17:59I don't understand a single thing you've said to me so far.
18:02He wasted no time going home.
18:04Didn't even get a chance to talk.
18:06I said hold on!
18:08Huh? Why did I tell him all that?
18:11The saying goes, a good communicator is a good listener.
18:15It'll make sense soon enough for you.
18:17I just wanted someone to hear my story.
18:19You'll become so popular,
18:20they'll come to ask to vent.
18:22It always feels good to get stuff off your chest.
18:24I assumed some good listener out there would ask me about it someday.
18:28It's funny.
18:33Who could have guessed it'd end up being you?
18:36What are you talking about? You're not making any sense.
18:38According to the legend, the Demon King Cycreus invaded hundreds of years ago, so how can you-
18:43That's right. And according to legend, a mysterious sage saved the world.
18:47That would be me.
18:49Just how old are you?
18:51No, wait, never mind that.
18:53What are you?
18:55Just a discarded ex-hero.
18:58I was originally built to be a bit tougher than the rest.
19:01And as for my age? I have no idea.
19:03To be honest, I stopped counting when I passed a thousand.
19:06No way.
19:08Man though, you live this long, you do come across a lot of people.
19:12You will meet one person you want to protect with your life.
19:14Then another you want to see drop dead so you never have to see him again.
19:18So believe me when I say this.
19:20You guys are a pretty good bunch of folks.
19:24Echidna and the Great Guardians might be goofballs, but you're all good people.
19:28In fact, good enough to make me want to work my butt off for you.
19:32Goofballs.
19:37So don't you worry, okay?
19:40I'll get that Philosopher's Stone for you guys, no matter the cost.
19:42I am going to make sure you all find happiness.
19:45You have my word on that.
19:48Wow.
19:52I still don't get it.
19:54And you're not going to explain any further, are you?
19:56I'll eventually get around to it, okay?
19:58I mean, honestly.
20:00I didn't really plan on telling you any of this at all.
20:02So why did you spill your guts to me then?
20:05I'm not really sure.
20:07Because you look so serious, I guess?
20:08I've felt this since that moment at the lake.
20:11He's not the best talker,
20:13but he's got the one thing that makes someone a good communicator.
20:19Leo, you will teach me how to converse.
20:22Strong motivation.
20:24That genuine desire to want to learn
20:27is the most important part of communicating well.
20:31You might be a really blunt and awkward person,
20:34but I saw it.
20:35I could pick up on that you really wanted to hear me out.
20:38Job well done.
20:40I couldn't stop myself from telling you everything.
20:43You just need to be genuine and thoughtful,
20:46just like you are now.
20:48You'll do great in your interviews.
20:50I know if anyone can,
20:52you'll be able to get the applicants to open up.
20:56Don't touch me.
20:58I'm done and I'm tired.
21:00Good night.
21:02Hold on, you've got to be kidding me.
21:03Good night.
21:05Hold on, you've got your own room.
21:07And we've got another long day in the cafeteria tomorrow.
21:10Good night.
21:12Hey, come on, Marinus, don't pass out on me.
21:19Okay, fine, have it your way.
21:29I hope you never change.
21:31It's pretty amusing.
21:33Yeah.
21:51Just maybe,
21:53he might be able to mediate.
22:03I don't think so.
22:33I don't know.
23:03I don't think so.
23:04I don't think so.
23:05I don't think so.
23:06I don't think so.
23:07I don't think so.
23:08I don't think so.
23:09I don't think so.
23:10I don't think so.
23:11I don't think so.
23:12I don't think so.
23:13I don't think so.
23:14I don't think so.
23:15I don't think so.
23:16I don't think so.
23:17I don't think so.
23:18I don't think so.
23:19I don't think so.
23:20I don't think so.
23:21I don't think so.
23:22I don't think so.
23:23I don't think so.
23:24I don't think so.
23:25I don't think so.
23:26I don't think so.
23:27I don't think so.
23:28I don't think so.
23:29I don't think so.
23:31I don't think so.
23:32I don't think so.
23:33I don't think so.
23:34Well, maybe not.
23:42Oh Father.
24:00you
24:30you
