00:00You
00:13You replied engage the enemy at once Roger that prioritizing preservation of civilian life
00:30I
00:38Was their supposed savior and yet somehow that was not the case
00:42I was not met with cheers, but with eyes filled with fear and grandiose expectations
00:49But I don't care. I'll still protect humanity. That's the whole reason I exist
00:55I'll defend the world too. That's all humanity wants from me. That's all I live for
01:06A nightmare
01:24Yeah
01:54Yeah
02:24You
02:41What a terrible nightmare I
02:45Have a hunch that the rest of today's gonna turn out crappy now
02:49It's a message coming straight from Queen echidna black knight onyx is to report to me at once
02:54Crap, she knows doesn't she? What's your plan?
02:58Lily got real close to revealing my true identity before but I dodged that one luckily
03:04Now Leo, you haven't properly introduced yourself to her yet. Perhaps she's angry about that. Oh, I forgot to do that
03:12Anyway, I did tell her about how our work has been proceeding smoothly all thanks to Lord onyx's assistant
03:17That's why she wants to see me moron. What'd you say?
03:21Come on, what should I have said?
03:25And
03:26Echidna didn't just stumble into that title of demon queen
03:30Armed with her beloved tilving she can hold her own against Edvard in single combat and she's as good a spellcaster as Shatina
03:37It's scary how powerful she is. No matter the tricks I employ. She might still be able to see through my disguise
03:44I'd waste no time if she realizes who you are. Call me and do not hesitate
03:50I'll be alright. I can figure it out on my own
03:54Just pretend you had no idea
04:00Right then what excuse do I give to Echidna?
04:06Tis I black knight onyx I have come to answer your summons
04:13Okay, let's see what you have in store for me, thank you
04:18So you're the wonderful onyx I've heard so much about your marvelous deeds
04:22I'm sorry. I summoned you on such short notice
04:25Well, it doesn't sound like she's figured out who I am at least
04:29Come now, please. Take a seat
04:31Wait, hold on. You can't be serious for crying out loud. There are only two seats at this table
04:39There's no need for formalities today. Let's enjoy a fine meal and good liquor together
04:44Shall we whenever I have a nightmare? I know the next day is bound to be hell
04:49Oh
04:51Have you tried the alcohol yet Lord onyx it's fantastic
04:56Quite a nice flavor if I do say so and the food is stellar
05:01Happy to hear it
05:03This looks like your typical after-hours drink with a straight-laced worker and his chill boss
05:08Of course, it's anything but I want to get out of here as quickly as humanly possible and I'm terrified
05:15She'll find out who I am in the midst of all this. So onyx
05:19Proceed about your helm. Are you going to wear that for much longer? You can take it off, you know
05:24Thank you, but I must decline it'd be rude to show my bare face to you. Your highness, please
05:29I told you to dispense with formalities. I'd much rather preferred if we were able to talk face-to-face
05:38I
05:41Okay, now let's see that boorish face of yours
05:45There we go
05:47Hmm. Wait a moment. I didn't have time to change my face that much
05:57Is there something wrong
06:01Mm-hmm a stalwart face I can sense immense strength behind your soft visage
06:08Just a shame to hide it away behind a helm if you ask me
06:12That
06:14Was a close one, thank goodness, she's so drunk
06:18Come now. Don't hold back. Enjoy yourself by all means stuff yourself until you burst
06:24I'm drinking alone with my boss. And if she finds out who I am, I'm dead. How am I supposed to enjoy a drink?
06:31Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's good. This moment is paradise on earth. I
06:37Need to get out of this paradise ASAP, but I have to play it smart
06:42hmm
06:43Your highness your glass is empty
06:46Allow me to pour you some more. I'll consider it of you to notice. Thank you. Here you go
06:53Let me give you a couple of tips about how to make business parties a little easier tip number one
06:59The moment your boss's glass is empty fill it up
07:03Please have some more. Thanks. You can take a break from the conversation while filling their cup and they'll think you're perceptive and consider
07:11Here have another glass. Sure. However, that's not the only thing I'm after right now
07:16My goal is simple get her dead drunk. That's all I'm focused on my you're thirsty. Come have another I
07:25That's it down the hatch a little more drink till you're sloshed
07:30Then at long last you can put an end to this horrible event
07:35Oh
07:40Are you feeling unwell your highness perhaps you've had a bit too much to drink today
07:45It may be best if yes, right you are now that we're warmed up
07:48Let's go even harder now where downing bottles from here on out
07:58Come drink up on it. Don't be shy
08:01I
08:12Been too long since I've been able to enjoy a relaxing spot of tea. I have Leo to thank for this, too
08:18Oh, I wonder how his meeting is going. I hope that everything is running smoothly for him
08:25Perhaps I should go quickly check on them
08:27Maybe not. What if I say something and only make things even worse?
08:32Goodness, then why am I getting all worked up over that hero? Anyway, you're worried about
08:37Yeah, my report's done
08:40You didn't hear anything you understand, correct? You misheard me. That's right. I didn't say anything like that at all
08:47Huh? I heard what?
08:51Couldn't kill her with alcohol, but I'm not giving up. I've got another trick up my sleeve
08:58Unfortunately, it'll take some time to execute. I just need to segue into it. I
09:04Must admit everything has been scrumptious
09:08Especially the sausage you're now eating your highness. It's simply to die for I'm glad you like it
09:13There's definitely something special in this sausage that makes it truly fantastic
09:18Tip number two for making drinking parties less of a headache
09:21People are fond of those who show an active interest in them and their tastes and when you're eating and drinking together
09:28You have all the fodder one could possibly need. I
09:32Can tell that this sausage is made with spices from Largo the minced pepper inside gives it a pleasant color from Largo
09:40You say we've been hunting for resources so much lately. I really had time to enjoy such extravagant meals
09:48You know, thanks to Lily's efforts things are slowly improving now, I always knew she could handle the task in the end
09:55Look at that innocent face
09:58She looks like a normal girl when she smiles like that
10:00Not to mention I have to give credit to the chefs who prepared the food
10:04So expertly you should know that those sausages were made by yours
10:08Truly the cooks down at the demon rat tavern the castle dining hall made absolute slop
10:13So I shared some key recipes and train them on how to make them which leads to tip number three
10:18If there's food learn as much as you can about it beforehand and the food topic can lead to any manner of conversation
10:25It's an excellent segue after what you Tina told me. I was curious about the kind of man
10:30You were you're great at your job and also a culinary expert
10:33You are quite the fellow Lord on it hardly my talents and knowledge are rather modest your highness
10:39There's just one thing I wish to ask. I'm quite curious
10:42You seem to always wear that helm of yours and I know that we did touch on this before
10:47But could you explain why indeed about that?
10:50I knew it time for tip number four
10:53The only time a powerless newbie can sell themselves to the boss is when the boss asks them questions
10:59Your answer can drastically change the flow of the outing or the workload of the next day
11:04It's tragic. I've been cursed by the goddess Tiana
11:07The time I'm allowed to show my face to others is gravely limited as such
11:12I must spend most of my time encased in armor goodness
11:16You've not worn it this whole time. Will you be alright to be frank? I may be cutting it close
11:22However, I'm glad to take that risk if it means a chance to spend time with your highness
11:27That's enough. You're quite the talker, aren't you? And this is how you get out of a drinking excursion early
11:34It's as simple as mentioning you have a clear-cut time limit and you can escape any horrific situation now a kidna knows
11:40I'm working with limited time here
11:44What a great day it's been let us toast to the friendship between the black knight and demon queen
11:49Now we do shall drink up and talk the night away
12:00I
12:03Refuse then I guess that must mean that you want Leo to have to go away then
12:08Go on, do you do you did? Well, no
12:14Yes, Dianette you sound distressed is everything okay out there
12:17I have an extremely urgent message for you. Oh
12:27It's been a few hours since this drinking party from hell began and while she hasn't figured out who I am yet
12:33I still want to get the hell out of here Lord onyx. I'm grateful for all you've done
12:39Not only did you lessen Chutena's workload mere moments after you arrived, but you have also been keeping a watchful eye on Lily
12:46Your efforts have been of great help to us all I arranged this feast special to pay you back for your hard work a kidna
12:55Wow, you're way too kind to me your highness
12:58Human or demon we gladly welcome all who have skills to donate to our cause
13:02I'm glad we have you among our ranks in the demon army
13:06Hmm my gratitude. Oh
13:09What of that hero? I heard he wanted to join your forces as well. Would you welcome him to?
13:16Hero, he's the one exception. I don't want him here period. He's nothing but a twisted man a social reject
13:29He's right here literally right in front of you and already made things way better for your organization
13:39For all I care
13:40If it wasn't for him, we'd be doing just great
13:43I would have had the Philosopher's Stone in my hands by now. So that was what she was after
13:50Let's leave her to stew a bit and talk about this Philosopher's Stone
13:56This special object is a treasure held in the holy city of Renei
14:01It's rumored that the first st. King dug it up over 3,000 years ago
14:06He then used its power to found the capital proper
14:11Rumors say that the Philosopher's Stone turned the wastelands around the city to green fields
14:17Protected the city's people from plague and could even make someone immortal
14:22Most of these tales turn out to be bogus. Of course, how do I know this?
14:28Because I've used it before
14:30The stone that's located in the capital isn't the one I use though as nice as it would be
14:36It also doesn't give someone superpowers or anything it's not a magic power-up or cure-all
14:52Do you understand how close we were we were so deep into Renei that we could literally see the stone sacred hall before us
14:59If only we had gotten that stupid thing, we could have accomplished everything we came for
15:03You don't say so you're telling me that the main reason why you haven't retreated despite losing so many men is because
15:10You're not after conquest, but the Philosopher's Stone. That's right
15:15Hindsight I realized I was far too aggressive with that war
15:18I made an amateur mistake by trying to take on all of humanity just to obtain the Philosopher's Stone
15:23You could have tricked them or even stolen it or work together
15:28Huh, there's a children's tale just like that about humans and demon kind joining forces a Brad the joiner of hands, I believe
15:36That's right. It's an old human story. I heard it myself from a succubus storyteller
15:40It tells of an oddball imp who travels to the human world and builds a city where humans and demons live together in harmony
15:48correct
15:50Sadly, it'll only be but a story. It's simply unachievable for us
15:54We are destined to always remain enemies
15:56But truly how I wish it were not the case which only makes me even more curious about your goals truthfully
16:03What do you wish to achieve by gaining the Philosopher's Stone?
16:08Ever since her defeat I've been dying to know this
16:12After being beaten into submission losing most of her army and territory. I can't figure out why she hasn't returned to the demon world
16:20I'm unable to wrap my head around her motivations if she was after something silly for instance immortality or riches
16:27She would have lost motivation and left long ago. So after everything, why does she still persist?
16:33Why is she still here in this castle rebuilding her army?
16:36Follow me
16:44Wow
16:46What have you?
16:48It's the most beautiful in this light at this time of day
16:52Tell me have you ever been to the demon world? No, it is the location that we call home a
16:59Grand vast wasteland. It has no Sun
17:03No vegetation. The air is heavy and the water is muddy and impure a rather dreary place as you can imagine
17:10Demon clans fight one another over the little resources that remain staining the wasteland with blood
17:16It
17:17Sounds like a demonic world indeed. I am absolutely sick of that place
17:22Huh?
17:22My goal is to bring order to my world of chaos to rid that tragic land of conflict
17:28To bathe it in the warm sunlight to cleanse the waters to sparkle in that light
17:33I wish for fish to swim in those waters and for grasslands and forests to sway in the wind. Can you imagine?
17:42That
17:45Is why I sought the help of Shatina and other skilled comrades it's ambitious so I need the help
17:50It's why I came to the human world. The Philosopher's Stone will reforge the land. I had no idea
17:57This whole time. She's been fighting humanity to better the lives of her people. I
18:03Really misjudged her
18:05damn
18:06You surprised bet you never thought you'd hear that from me, huh?
18:11Did not it's all right. I'm accustomed to this reaction. I
18:16Honestly have no quarrel with humanity, but the Philosopher's Stone must be ours
18:21So then if they were to willingly offer it up, would you accept it without shedding blood?
18:25Hypothetically speaking, of course, but I'm not sure if they would believe our intentions the holy capitals the human realm Center
18:32Stealing the very thing that holds that city together would hurt their livelihoods. So it'd be impossible to work this out with them
18:38I have no other choice though
18:42Those who cooperate with us like the dragon folk and the humans from Lily's home will all be given sanctuary
18:48But I care not what happens to the other humans
18:51Oh, I mean it not in the slightest yet. You've forbidden needless killing. Have you not your majesty?
18:58This is an invasion, but we still must avoid killing whenever possible. I heard that policy ended the war
19:05It was truly a fantastic call there were mercifully low numbers of casualties on both sides indeed
19:11And do you know what it brought us in the end ultimate defeat? I curse my naivete. I
19:17Simply could not fully become the villain
19:19Humans may be our enemy, but they have homes. They want to protect too and
19:24friends and family
19:27Considering that I simply couldn't do it
19:30Hmm to be honest about the hero Leo, I don't bear him any ill will after all is said and done
19:36Huh?
19:37Might I inquire why?
19:39He is a hero. His sole purpose is to stand up and protect humanity
19:44I shouldn't fault him for doing just that he fought off an invader who was attacking his people
19:51That man may have put a brisk halt to my plans
19:54But he wasn't wrong to do so after all the fault lay with us our side was the aggressor in this war. I
20:01See her differently now
20:04She's kind a loving Queen who cares deeply for her people and she had to become an evil conqueror to provide for her beloved
20:12Subjects, she must have wondered if she was doing the right thing the entire time
20:17I'm sure she was assailed by anxiety
20:20unspeakable despair never-present worry and
20:24Then someone brought about the greatest anguish of all
20:28That was me the hero Leo
20:31Black Knight Onyx, what about you? Huh? Why did you join us? Anyway, did humanity betray you?
20:38Do you wish to end this world?
20:41Which one is it? Perhaps you've simply come seeking a place to die
20:45What is your true motivation? Tell me?
20:50About that
20:52This is why I hate going out drinking with colleagues
20:54We were shooting the shit then suddenly it got into a serious topic where I have to be honest
21:00It'd be easy to lie
21:02But she's just opened her heart to me if I deceived her further she'd be even more upset when I revealed who I was
21:10But that's not it. I just don't want to lie to this poor woman anymore. Not as part of any strategy, but
21:18Because I genuinely want to support her
21:21Because I genuinely want to support her especially now that I know that she just wants to save her home. What's my motive?
21:29Right, I suppose I should tell you
21:33I'll have to break it to her then apologize for the deception. I'll tell her how much I want to help
21:42I have something to say. Yes. I I am your highness
21:46Huh
21:48Your highness I finally found you what's wrong generals, it's real bad big problem
21:56here
21:59I'm going on a journey. Please. Don't come looking for me shadowless general marinus
22:04I have failed to properly train my troops and will be taking my life to make amends dragon general edvard
22:16Foreign
22:46Foreign
23:16Foreign
23:31Kimi ni arigatou
23:46You
24:16You
