00:00Oh
00:30I can't believe I'm left behind
00:34I'm afraid of tomorrow I've lost sight of
00:38I'm looking for a place to belong
00:41A scream of a heart that's been left behind
00:49I want to make sure of my identity
00:52I want to make sure of my identity
00:54Can I believe it?
00:57I'll live on, I'll live on, I'll live on
01:00I'll bring light to the future
01:04Even if I lose everything
01:07I'll connect hope
01:12The reason I'm here
01:16I don't have to understand it now
01:20So I can laugh with you
01:23I just have to live on and move forward
01:53What the...
02:04I guess I lost
02:10It feels nice
02:35Leo...
02:42Did you enjoy that farce?
02:44Pretending to be the evil demon king?
02:47I did. It was honestly pretty fun
02:51I've always wanted to be the villain
02:54I'm glad I got to do it with you
02:57I know you went easy on us
03:00Is that what you think?
03:01Don't play dumb! Please! You didn't dodge!
03:04Should I have done that?
03:06You realized you guys were losing pretty bad, right?
03:09You wanted to lose from the very start
03:12You came here hoping we would defeat you
03:15Isn't that right?
03:17I suppose
03:19Well, I can't say it went all according to plan for me
03:22I'll hand it to you that you did disable me before I killed everyone
03:25So well done
03:26Your little game nearly took the lives of all five of us just so you know
03:29You bloody fool!
03:34From the start?
03:36When would that be?
03:38How far back does that go?
03:41I asked you before why you joined us
03:44If humanity had betrayed you, or you wanted to put an end to the world
03:48Or if you'd come seeking a place to die
03:52What a preposterous answer this is
03:56Anyway, this belongs to you now
04:00The Philosopher's Stone?
04:02Yes. I used an emergency override to cut me off from the stone's energy
04:07There's only 300 seconds
04:09So you better not dilly-dally
04:11Just so you know, I can only do this once, so you better hurry
04:14So what, are we just supposed to pull it out then?
04:17Uh-huh. It's in there pretty tight, but it's just like popping the cap off of a bottle
04:24No! No, you can't! Please don't kill Leo!
04:28Please! Stop it, Kidna! Don't do this!
04:31He's our friend above all else! We'll make it work!
04:34Calm Lily, don't make a fuss. Queen Echidna is unwell and needs space
04:38No! Stop it! Leo, don't die!
04:52Look at that smile. Till the very end, he's protecting humanity
04:58He was never going to kill anyone, or destroy our worlds for that matter
05:04He knew he could sacrifice his life to bring peace to both, and willingly made that choice
05:11It pains me to admit it, but he truly is a hero, through and through
05:18Just 270 seconds left to go
05:21I'm curious if you have any regrets
05:25Someone's picking up my work for me, and I'm leaving with the demon army running more efficiently, too
05:32Everything is good. No, I've got no regrets
05:38All right
05:39No! No! No, don't give up, Leo!
05:43Stop this tantrum already
05:45No, I won't! I won't! I won't!
05:49Lily
05:55Sorry, Lily. The demon world needs the Philosopher's Stone
06:01Actually, before I die, I have one more thing to say
06:08Sorry for all the trouble. Honestly
06:25The End
06:34240 seconds now
06:37Goodbye, great generals
06:40Goodbye, Echidna
06:43I'm glad I got to know you all. Thank you
06:47Uh-oh
06:53What the hell?
06:54I have changed my mind. Too much effort
06:57You what?
06:59You want me to make peace with the human world?
07:02You fool! Have you forgotten who I am? I am the Demon Queen, the great Echidna
07:07I am the ruler of the demon world. It's queen!
07:10Do you even know how busy I am? I've no time for this nonsensical errand of yours, moron!
07:18Now listen, hero. No, now you're merely Leo
07:23Listen, Leo, and rejoice. I have decided to officially employ you in my ranks
07:28Seeing as you possess the Philosopher's Stone and are the only being to have lived 3,000 years
07:33You'll be our ambassador between the demon and human worlds
07:36Are you crazy? You're running out of time!
07:39Don't care
07:41I would have expected nothing less of you, my queen
07:44Hey, come on now, Edvard! Talk some sense into her!
07:47No, screw that! Tear the stone out of me!
07:49Huh?
07:52Lord Leo, surely you jest
07:54I'm afraid I must agree with Queen Echidna on this one
07:57You had best give up
07:59You only have 200 seconds!
08:00There are still so many things I'd like to learn from you before you leave this life, Lord Leo
08:05Your untimely death would be a great disservice, to me at least
08:10How is he this stupid? It makes no sense
08:13There is no better person suited to unite our worlds
08:16You have been around for 3,000 years after all
08:19You're just the man for the job
08:21I don't know
08:26And besides, my darling daughter Juliet has taken quite a liking to you
08:30What kind of father would I be if I made her cry, huh?
08:34Lord Leo, I beseech you, please reconsider
08:37Is there a brain inside that thick skull of yours?
08:39You're the one without a brain!
08:41You big dummy!
08:42Why did you think of this by yourself so you can end it by yourself?
08:46Why didn't you ask any of your friends for help, huh?
08:49You didn't even come to me! Why?
08:52Why? What are you talking about? Who would have come to help?
08:55I would have!
08:57I would have helped you out, silly!
08:59You taught me that when you're in trouble you should ask your friends for help
09:03You taught me that when you can't do it by yourself to find...
09:06I get it, Lily
09:07One of my shortcomings is my inability to trust people
09:10What happened there, huh?
09:11But this isn't the time for this! You have one hundred and sixty seconds!
09:14What do you mean? Tell me!
09:18I'm really stupid, Leo! I don't understand why you want to die!
09:22But I'll always hear you out, so please don't die on me, you big old dummy!
09:27You gotta talk to me next time, okay?
09:30Marinus...
09:31You'll be able to calmly analyze this situation?
09:35You've got one hundred and forty seconds left!
09:37Marinus, I trust in you. You won't let your emotions get the better of you
09:41That hurts!
09:42Are you stupid?
09:45Come on! Hey, stop! Damn it, Marinus!
09:48I never needed to be a good listener
09:50I just needed to fight you, is all
09:52You're a good listener, too
09:54You're a good listener, too
09:56I just needed to fight you, is all
09:58Your words, your attitude, and your eyes, everything
10:02It's all screaming loudly that you still want to live on
10:05This whole time
10:06Fine!
10:08Then go ahead and live on, you stubborn ass!
10:12If you want to live, then live!
10:15You told me to make choices you won't regret, remember?
10:19But here you are, dying full of regret!
10:23You only have one hundred and ten seconds!
10:26No, no, no, no!
10:31Sh-Shatina? Hurry! Help!
10:33Help with what, exactly?
10:35Have you caught on to the major contradiction in what you say versus what you practice yet?
10:40What? Contradiction?
10:41For what reason are you dying, then? Why don't you remind me, huh?
10:44What are you talking about? I don't have time to-
10:46I said tell me!
10:49To protect humanity! That's the order they built into us!
10:52And none of the Demonheart series can disobey it!
10:55Another order, thought masking, erases any rebellious thoughts before they develop!
10:59Ninety-five seconds left!
11:01What about you, though?
11:02Yes, I developed! I grew a strong ego, a-a self!
11:06That self turned off my thought masking, but I can't keep my identity if I don't protect humanity!
11:12If something doesn't change, I'm going to put humanity in danger just so I can save them once again!
11:17I get it. Now I see.
11:19That's just how it is! No matter how strong my ego or sense of free will may be, they will never be strong enough to-
11:27Yes, do you get it now?
11:29If you apply that logic, your strong ego should allow you to disable your order to protect. Wouldn't that be correct?
11:34What? No, it couldn't-
11:36Why not try it?
11:38I don't think-
11:39I said try it!
11:48Fine, very well then.
11:53Disable the order?
11:55Protect humanity from evil. Protect humanity from evil.
11:59Disable this? Is she stupid? I've been following this order for three thousand years! I can't just turn it off!
12:07How am I even supposed to do that? Just try it? Help me out here!
12:14It can't be done! I don't know how!
12:17Okay, okay, fine!
12:23I get it. But could you shut up for a sec?
12:27Just stop. Please stop. Just stop!
12:32Just-
12:34Huh?
12:36Wait.
12:44Did it really work?
12:46Did I disable it?
12:50I have to protect the world.
12:55I have to be a hero.
12:58There was no way to escape those compulsions.
13:03No way.
13:04Did I just convince myself that I had to?
13:08Leo, there are just thirty seconds left.
13:11If you truly want to die, then I will kill you, alright? It is your life. Use it as you see fit.
13:18I don't know dick about bioweapons, but prioritize you! Live your life the way you want!
13:24But if you want to live, then do not waste your life trapped by someone else's orders.
13:29One more thing! Don't get too caught up in this born-to-protect-humanity shit! You got that?!
13:35Humanity has exiled you. Is this not the perfect opportunity?
13:39Work under me and leave Heroine behind for a new way of life. Now's your chance.
13:45The day that humanity stops needing you, then that's gonna be your chance to split!
13:49You take care, okay? Find something else to live for! Anything!
13:53Leo...
14:03Why not quit heroing? Come join me!
14:24Leo...
14:29Three thousand years of endless solitude are over. You're with us now.
14:34Oh, Leo!
14:53Leo...
15:23Leo...
15:53Leo...
16:04Boy, you guys sure let your guards down.
16:07Foolish indeed. Sharing wine with former enemy hero Leo, then falling asleep in his presence like a lush.
16:14Had you told me of this before, I would have laughed it off.
16:17I really don't see the problem. We're allies now, after all.
16:21You're my subordinate, not allies.
16:26I will admit it, you had us all fooled for a while.
16:29You even gave our generals a false motive behind your actions from the start.
16:34Everything I said happened was the truth, though. However, I never had any ill will towards mankind.
16:41Here I thought I was interviewing you. It's amusing how it was the Demon Army being tested the whole time, though.
16:51Hey, Leo, do you have any regrets at all?
16:54What do you mean?
16:55Don't dodge the question. That was your one chance to die. You may not get another for centuries to come.
17:02This is a big deal. Do you regret giving up potentially your only chance to be freed of your burdens?
17:12Well, that is a good question. However, I want to help you guys out.
17:18Hold on, where is this coming from?
17:20It was back when we drank together. When I heard your story, I knew I wanted to help you.
17:25My goal is to bring order to my world of chaos. To rid that tragic land of conflict.
17:31I want to make your wish come true, however I can.
17:35I want to help you find a way to obtain unity between humanity and demankind.
17:40That's the reason why I'm here. So I don't really regret a single thing.
17:45Have you already forgotten that I am a villainous conqueror?
17:48One who ruthlessly invades other worlds and wreaks havoc for her own gain?
17:52Do you truly believe working beneath such a villain would be virtuous for a hero like you?
17:57Come on, none of that's true. You're a kind queen who cares deeply for her people.
18:03It's true, I know. It's what drove you to invade the human world for the sake of your homeland.
18:09And that kindness led you to empathize with the people you were conquering.
18:13That's how I beat you. You love your people.
18:18Conquest doesn't really suit you, and even now you're asking me these things out of kindness.
18:24You want me to know this is my last chance to reconsider, right?
18:29However, your kindness has saved my life.
18:32Let me help you, Echidna. I'll do anything to ensure you never have to play the villain again.
18:38You can finally be the kind queen you truly are.
18:41For all of your people and everyone else. This I swear.
18:46Am I really able to trust you, though?
18:48Well, of course you can. I've been around for 3,000 years.
18:52And in the entire time I have been alive, I've never ever made a girl cry.
18:56My love? You're okay, huh?
19:01I take it back. It's not true now.
19:04But I'll uphold that promise anyway.
19:07I swear.
19:13I was honestly planning on giving you one last chance.
19:16But it appears that I have been sorely misguided, haven't I?
19:19I hadn't expected you to repay me with such a purposeful new lease on life.
19:24But you know, I do quite like it.
19:28So you accept my answer, then?
19:30I do.
19:32I'm looking forward to working with you, former hero.
19:35Truly.
19:37The honor is mine, Queen Echidna. And I truly mean it.
19:42That's how I came to join the Demon Queen's army.
19:47Father!
19:48I'm sorry, but is General Edvard here?
19:52Please forgive me. I am so terribly sorry, Your Highness.
19:55I deeply apologize for interrupting your romantic moment with Lord Leo.
20:00What? No, this was not a romantic moment, you fool.
20:03Forget that. What did you come here for? Tell me.
20:06Right. The wyverns are dissatisfied with their treatment and have begun to riot.
20:10I'm afraid it's a rather pressing matter, Your Highness.
20:13Darn it. Again?
20:14All right, you all. On your feet.
20:18My deepest apologies, Your Highness.
20:23We are awake, my queen.
20:25Go, Edvard. Deal with them before they cause any damage.
20:28At once.
20:29General Lily! Pardon me.
20:32What's up?
20:33Sorry to bother you, but Largo is complaining that the elixirs that were due yesterday haven't been delivered yet.
20:38That's no good!
20:40Excuse me, General Shutina?
20:42One of the tomes in the fourth library is run amok and is summoning a stream of chimeras.
20:46That accursed tome again. I'm going to burn this tome once and for all.
20:50Now please come assist me.
20:51Oh, Nerni! I was looking for you. We can't open the dining hall without your help.
20:56I quit, remember? I told you that.
20:58I know, but let's talk later. I need you.
21:00Pardon my intrusion, Queen Echidna, but what should we do about the Great Spirit Force?
21:04Queen Echidna! We received word from the Viceroy and the Demon Lord!
21:07Queen Echidna!
21:08Ready to get to work, Leo?
21:10You said you would do everything in your power to help me.
21:12You're not having second thoughts on this, are you?
21:15Be honest with me.
21:16Of course. I said what I said, didn't I?
21:19As you can see here, we have mountains of work to do.
21:23Before we take on the large-scale issue of uniting the human and demon realms,
21:27we'll need to tackle the problems we're currently facing, right?
21:30I will make full use of your talents, so do be ready.
21:34You don't need to tell me that twice.
21:36I'll take care of everything you throw at me, so sit back and enjoy some tea.
21:43That was the story of how I came to join the Demon Queen's army.
21:48How the hero Leo, a biological weapon created 3,000 years ago,
21:53broke free of his ancient commands to move forward on his own.
21:58How he made a great many friends.
22:03Friends he could trust.
22:08How I finally, after all that time, was able to quit heroing.
22:15Time to get started.
22:17But with what first?
22:44What I didn't know, I'll learn from now on.
22:49What lies ahead of me, I still don't know.
22:56Don't hold it all in by yourself.
22:59Let me lean on your back once in a while.
23:02Weaknesses make us stronger.
23:06The road ahead is still long.
23:08So let's run without hesitation.
23:12The reason is simple.
23:14Let go of your dreams of ideals.
23:17The future is in your hands.
23:20It's up to you.
23:23Even if you're afraid of changing,
23:27take it step by step.
23:29To protect what's important to you.
23:33Thank you for connecting with me.
23:37I hope it reaches you.
