02x18 - (D) The Demon Lords

Post by bunniefuu »

[DIABLO]

Magnificent, Lord Rimuru.

What a truly beautiful

technique that was.

Wow, yeah!

It was so captivating!

Hey, Rimuru! You sure

you don't want me to go

destroy some people?

Yes, I'm positive. Plus,

like I've already told you

a few times now,

I wanna keep you a secret

until Walpurgis starts.

But if you cause a commotion,

we'll be found out instantly.

[VELDORA]

Hm...

[laughs]

How right you are!

It completely slipped my mind!

Then you'd better tighten

your grip! Am I clear?!

You'd better not do anything

unless we ask you to!

--[laughs]

--Huh?!

[RIMURU] Meanwhile, Benimaru's

forces were headed to Eurazania.

Once there, they'd face off

against Clayman's army.

In addition, Gazel's group

headed back to Dwargon.

Erald and his people

returned to Thalion.

And Youm's g*ng set off

to take over Falmuth.

I will return promptly, sir.

Please do not worry.

It's cool if you take your time.

[DIABLO] I will return promptly,

sir. Please do not worry.

[RIMURU]

Come on.

You shouldn't rush taking

over a whole country, my dude.

All right!

It's about time

for us to get ready, too.

Let's go crash Walpurgis.

So, no one is there?

[YAMZA]

Right.

The Animal Kingdom of Eurazania

is completely deserted.

How can that be?

[CLAYMAN sighs]

I doubt that it matters. Go and

investigate the area thoroughly.

They must be somewhere.

--[YAMZA] Sir.

--[CLAYMAN] Tch.

[YAMZA]

There is one more thing.

[CLAYMAN]

Hmm?

[YAMZA] One of the

soldiers heard something

rather interesting

from a peddler.

We came across them

on the road during our march.

[CLAYMAN]

Something interesting, you say?

[YAMZA]

Yes.

He told us that the Storm Dragon

Veldora has returned.

[gasps]

[VELDORA roars]

[CLAYMAN]

Veldora, truly...

[YAMZA] He went on to inform us

that apparently Falmuth's forces

were collateral damage

in Veldora's resurrection.

[CLAYMAN] So, it was

the Storm Dragon's doing?

[YAMZA]

Yes. And since he has only just

been resurrected recently,

our sources suggest that

he is missing the

majority of his energy.

[CLAYMAN]

I understand.

So, the reason I lost contact

with Pirone and the marionettes

that I sent to infiltrate

Falmuth is because

they were caught up in the chaos

of Veldora's resurrection.

I knew there was no way

a measly little slime

could defeat

Falmuth's entire army.

And with his power weakened,

defeating the Evil Dragon

will be an easy task.

Perhaps I could even

make him one of my pawns.

[CLAYMAN]

Yamza. Thank you for the report.

Keep up the good work.

[YAMZA]

Right!

[CLAYMAN]

And to think, I nearly fell

for that slime's

ridiculous bluff.

But unfortunately for him, the

truth is not so easily hidden.

You're merely borrowing

Veldora's authority.

I shall honor your boldness.

But prepare yourself.

I'm going to crush you

with my own hands!

[LAPLACE]

Don't overestimate your control

over Demon Lord Milim.

I'd be careful around her.

[CLAYMAN grunts]

Hmph. No need to be such

a worrywart, Laplace.

Since I shall certainly win.

[FREY]

Hmm...

Hmm?

[MILIM grunts]

Hello there, Frey!

It's absolutely gorgeous

outside today, huh?!

[giggles]

It's a little hot, though!

By which I mean, super hot!

Hello, Milim.

Heh. You certainly seem

to be in high spirits.

I take it that

something good happened?

[MILIM giggles]

That's right! Nice guess!

I got some new toys!

[MILIM chuckles]

[FREY]

Oh, my goodness.

Where did you get such

treasures? They're lovely.

[MILIM]

You really wanna know?

I mean, I would

like to tell you...

...but I dunno if I should.

Whatever should I do?

[FREY] Hmm. Still

such a troublesome girl.

Come on, Milim,

I thought we were friends.

Surely, we can

share our secrets.

Yeah, that's right!

And since we're friends,

then I can tell you,

so get ready,

because it's a great story!

There you have it!

My bestie for restie,

Rimuru, gave them to me!

Oh. That's what you call

a friend who's the best

of all your friends,

so they're special.

[FREY]

I see. I'm glad for you.

[chuckles]

[FREY]

Oh, that reminds me, Milim.

As your friend,

I also have a present for you.

I hope that you'll accept it.

[MILIM]

Huh...?

Wow, a pendant, huh?

And it's just for me?

Hey...

[growls]

You can't have my knuckles!

[FREY chuckles]

No, that's quite alright, Milim.

It's meant to be a symbol

of our friendship.

It's really nothing more

than a small token.

With that said, I'd be

very happy if you'd wear it.

[gasps]

Oh, okay, if you insist, Frey!

I'll put it on you.

[MILIM giggles]

Ah-- Hey, that tickles.

[FREY]

Just hold still.

[MILIM gasps]

[FREY sighs] Is this sufficient

for you, Clayman?

[CLAYMAN chuckles]

Yes, that will do wonderfully.

With that last step,

the forbidden magic,

Demon Marionette,

has been activated.

I'm excited. I now have

the strongest puppet of all.

[FREY grunts]

[cackles] This is what you

get for underestimating me

and calling me

a rookie Demon Lord!

I wish you could see

just how pathetic you look!

[laughs]

[grunts]

[laughs]

[FREY] I wouldn't

do that if I were you.

Oh, please, this is not some

weak magic that will be undone

if she takes a bit of damage!

And surely, you're

fed up with her awful,

condescending attitude,

as well, Frey. Right?

Otherwise, you would

have never agreed to be

a part of this scheme.

Tell me that I'm wrong.

Fine, you're wrong.

If I'm being honest,

I was only fulfilling

the promise I made to you.

[CLAYMAN] Heh! You truly are

such a shameless creature, Frey!

Look at her, she's nothing

more than a doll now!

There's no reason

to hold anything back! Hah!

[cackles]

[FREY] Yes, I can see

that from your actions.

Such an unsightly man.

Fair warning. You probably

haven't figured this out yet,

but Milim does possess

a self-defense circuit.

[gasps]

She has a self-defense circuit?

I believe it's

called "Stampede."

Supposedly it causes her

to lose all control.

If you want to die that way,

it's your choice.

I, however, don't

want any part of it.

[CLAYMAN]

Hmm... Tch.

She is a terrible excuse

for a Demon Lord.

Well, no matter.

Using her as my doll

will give me a more

influential voice, anyway.

And you are rather complicit.

So, I will make absolutely

sure that you work your hardest

for me, Frey.

[FREY]

Oh? Even though I believe

you and I have equal footing.

How foolish!

I'm the one who came up

with this plan, remember?

While you are nothing more

than a pawn in my game.

Here's an idea.

Perhaps you would

like to try fighting

against Milim, eh, Frey?

[FREY] Is that an attempt

to thr*aten me?

[laughs] You're free to

glean whatever information

you want from it.

But if you don't want to die,

then I'd suggest

not angering me.

[sighs]

Fine, I understand.

[CLAYMAN]

There's a good girl.

I'd advise you to think twice

before betraying me.

You need only grant me

one tiny favor.

And then I'll be able to

guarantee you the title

of "Ruler of the Heavens."

A worthy title.

Right, Sky Queen Frey?

[FREY] The man is unable to see

the true nature of things.

Along with the new moon,

Walpurgis Night

will soon be upon us.

Clayman...

I hope you're prepared.

It seems you're

not long for this world.

[MISERY]

Lord of Darkness,

Demon Lord Guy Crimson,

we bear a message.

[MISERY]

Demon Lord Leon Cromwell

wishes to speak with you.

It's been far too long.

I haven't seen

the Platinum Devil,

Demon Lord Leon

Cromwell, in ages.

Or would you prefer I call

you Platinum Saber instead?

Call me whatever you like.

[GUY]

How have you been fairing?

I appreciate you

responding to my summons.

You have my thanks.

[chuckles]

--[GUY grunting]

--[LEON] Stop it!

I'm not into that,

I've told you before!

[laughs]

Wow, you're such a boring guy.

You know, if you prefer it,

I could always assume

a woman's appearance and

let you make love to me.

That's enough.

[GUY chuckles]

Mm...

All right. Let's talk elsewhere.

[chuckles]

[LEON] So? Is there a particular

reason why you called me here?

[GUY] Naturally,

as you may already know,

the Demon Lords' banquet,

Walpurgis, is to be held soon.

Even if I have to force you,

I would like you to attend.

It's quite unusual for you

to try and coerce me.

[GUY] Hmm. I want to make

sure you show up this time,

even if it means

I owe you a favor.

And why is that?

Ahh... You're still as

cautious as ever, aren't you?

I suppose I don't

mind explaining it.

The person who proposed

Walpurgis this time was Clayman.

A small fry.

But for some reason,

Milim's name was among those

in agreement. Milim is one

of the oldest and strongest

Demon Lords, alongside me.

She wouldn't just do whatever

a whelp like Clayman wants.

Which means...

[LEON] Carrion's death

was suspicious, as well.

Ah, I see you understand

what I'm hinting at here!

Yes, Clayman's gone too far.

In fact, he was harassing me in

order to avoid leaving behind

any concrete evidence.

I can't let it slide.

Carrion's wellbeing aside,

Milim taking part in Walpurgis

is more than troubling.

[GUY] Hmm. This might be

just another game to Milim,

but disturbing the balance

between the Demon Lords

won't harbor any fun times.

It'll just create

more work for me.

Do you think it's possible that

Clayman is manipulating Milim?

I doubt thinking about

Milim will do any good.

Plus, clever people such

as I can't comprehend

the thoughts of silly fools.

It's one of my

very few weak points.

[LEON]

Hmm.

But if you're so

curious to find out...

...I suppose... you'll just

have to go to the meeting.

That's my intention.

I despise conspiracies,

but it would seem that

I have no other choice.

I see. I'm glad to hear that.

If you were reluctant,

I was going to offer to let you

hold me throughout the night

in order to convince you.

No, thank you.

Aw, you're no fun.

Wow, you really are so boring.

Unrelated, do you know anything

about this Rimuru fellow?

[LEON]

Only what I heard from Clayman.

He thinks Rimuru gives

Demon Lords a bad name.

Me, personally? I feel like

as long as he proves himself

to be capable, then there's

not much of a problem.

You're saying he's qualified

to be a Demon Lord, then?

As for me, I think anyone that

Ramiris takes an interest in

has the potential to be

rather entertaining.

Ramiris, you say?

I don't like that fairy.

She's always poking fun at me.

I have often thought of

just strangling her.

[GUY laughs]

Well, restrain yourself. Because

if do you go and k*ll Ramiris,

then I'll end up

being your enemy.

Yes. I'm sure.

I wouldn't really do it.

Plus, I'm not about to

pick a fight with you

knowing I can't win.

[GUY]

Hmm? C'mon, that's not true.

If anything, I bet you

could probably k*ll me

at least once out of

a million tries.

How trivial. To be honest,

I would much rather discuss

fights that I know I can win.

Aw, don't be so modest.

Even having the teensiest,

slightest chance of k*lling me

actually makes you

quite strong, Leon.

Ugh. No need to tell me that.

It's just that you and Milim

are extraordinary.

Speaking of extraordinary,

I hear that the Storm Dragon

Veldora has awakened.

[VELZARD]

My, my. Now this is a rumor

that I'd actually be

interested in hearing.

Of course, I nearly forgot

that you were here.

If it isn't one of the only

four True Dragons in existence.

The White Ice Dragon Velzard,

and the Empress of Ice.

Oh, really? How could

you forget about little old me?

You're as cold

as ever, Leon!

But... No matter what,

I'm still happy to see you.

Are you? In that case,

I shall respond by saying that

you are a feast for

my eyes, as well.

Heh. I see the two of you hate

each other as much as ever.

Say, Leon. Don't tell me that

you're jealous of my partner?

Be serious.

[VELZARD chuckles]

Back to your story. You were

saying that my younger brother,

Veldora, has finally awakened?

I stopped sensing him

about two years ago,

so I was all but convinced

that he had d*ed.

Tell me, are you sure?

There is no doubt.

If the Evil Dragon

really is back, then why

is he being so quiet?

I can't help but wonder

if he's grown too weak

to recover his own energy.

More to the point, I would

like to know who broke

my brother's seal.

According to my spy's report,

Clayman's scheme is what caused

Veldora's seal to break.

Clayman's to blame, eh?

[LEON] He exerted his influence

over the Kingdom of Falmuth

and instigated them to destroy

a nation that Rimuru founded.

You're quite knowledgeable.

Naturally. After all,

unlike the two of you,

I was once a human being.

You see... that

b*ttlefield was apparently

where Veldora was sleeping.

It would seem that when

he was on the brink of death,

being bathed in all the blood

of the battle just so happened

to awaken him.

[GUY]

Hmm...

[LEON] Falmuth's army

became collateral damage

of Veldora's revival,

and that allowed Rimuru

to escape disaster.

So, I heard.

[VELZARD]

If that story is true,

does it mean Veldora's seal

was broken by pure coincidence?

[LEON] Perhaps.

Though I don't know for sure.

[VELZARD]

I see...

There's also a small possibility

that the Hero's seal

was defective somehow.

I agree it's possible. But I did

come up with another theory.

And that would be?

I don't know why he could

no longer be sensed,

but what if the Evil Dragon

was pulled into a hyperspace

of someone's creation

along with his seal?

[GUY]

Interesting!

That would mean that

there's someone capable

of breaking the seal.

What's more, whoever

this mysterious person is,

they would have to possess

a power that's equal to

or greater than our own!

I'm merely saying

it's a possibility.

And let me guess,

you think it was Rimuru

that broke Veldora's seal, huh?

Indeed, I do.

Not surprising.

Well, if that's true,

we definitely need

to figure out who he is.

Clayman's violent acts,

Milim's strange behavior,

Rimuru's evolution

to Demon Lord,

and now Veldora's return...

Imagine if these things

are connected.

[chuckles]

Yes. If that's the case,

then this Walpurgis

should turn out to be

very entertaining for us.

I wonder though...

Why is Veldora being so quiet?

[VELZARD]

Hmm...

[VELZARD]

It would seem he is weak.

His presence is so faint,

it's as if he's not

even the same being.

[GUY]

Huh...

Still. It's strange he's

not going on a rampage.

In the past, he acted as

though his rampages were

his very reason for living.

[LEON] Well. It makes

no difference to me.

If you two want to make an ally

of Veldora, then feel free.

I couldn't care less.

[GUY]

You're leaving already?

[LEON] Yes, you've said all

that you wanted to say to me,

haven't you?

Hey, hold on a second, there's

no need to be in such a hurry.

Do you think you'll be able

to accomplish your goal?

Of summoning a specific target?

[LEON] There has been

some interference.

It's delayed things.

What interference?

Apparently, someone saved

the summoned children

who were merely awaiting death,

before I could take them in.

Ah...

Yes, and he seemed

rather furious to learn

that multiple nations are

summoning children

from another world, so it's

highly possible he'll now try

to put pressure on each

of those nations to stop.

Which means this

experiment is over.

Oh? Can't you just

get rid of the person

who is interfering with it?

It should be easy enough.

[sighs]

Except the person interfering...

...is none other than

this Rimuru we discussed.

[GUY gasps]

Seriously?!

Do you really think

that's a coincidence?

It is interesting.

Which is why I wouldn't mind

seeing him for myself just once.

I see...

Now I'm even more

curious about this guy.

And who knows? It's possible

that Milim is thinking

the exact same thing that I am.

She may be a moron, but she's

also surprisingly perceptive.

Perhaps. Well, regardless,

Walpurgis will be hectic.

[GUY chuckles]

Should be fun.

By the way...

Who is the mysterious

collaborator who's giving you

so much helpful information?

[LEON] Someone from the empire,

but I don't know the details.

He claimed to be

a merchant of some sort.

[GUY]

Can you trust him?

Of course not.

But I also don't need to.

I'm just using him

for my own gain.

As long as that's

good enough for you,

then I have no complaints.

Just try to be careful, okay?

If you die,

I'll make you regret it.

Heh. Wait, you're actually

worrying about me, Guy?

How unusual.

[LEON]

You can relax.

I have no intention of dying

before I achieve my goal.

That's reassuring.

But tell me, Leon,

is this goal of yours

really that important to you?

[LEON]

Yes.

[inhales]

Because for me, it takes

priority over everything else

in this world.

Ah. Well. I feel

kind of jealous.

Please don't feed me

that nonsense.

[GUY chuckles]

[LEON]

But I will heed your warning.

See you at Walpurgis.

Bye.

[GUY] Wow, he's so impatient.

That's typical Leon, though.

And yet,

for someone as cautious as him,

he's making himself vulnerable.

Shall we look

into the matter more?

[GUY]

Don't bother.

If we start meddling, it's only

going to make Leon angry.

And I don't want to do anything

that'll make a friend resent me.

If he happens

to ask me for help,

then I'll do it when

the time presents itself.

I understand.

[GUY] Walpurgis is

shaping up to be fun.

Want to come with me?

I'd like that.

Wait. I'll actually pass.

While I don't mind that

my brother will be there,

I have no particular interest

in a bunch of Demon Lords.

Whatever.

Would you mind looking

after things here?

[VELZARD]

Sure. Now, if you'll excuse me.

[GUY]

Interesting.

For the first time in centuries,

I can feel my heart racing.

I have a feeling that some

big changes are coming...

[GUY]

...to Walpurgis.

[RAPHAEL] Next time, "The Signal

to Begin the Banquet."
