01x05 - Daughter of the Demon King

[bunniefuu]

I've been wondering What's

that look on your face?

I've never met an enemy as strong as you!

I'm so excited I can't control myself!

Fascinating.

Let me show you something

you'll enjoy, then.

Hades Army.

Hades Army

Black magic. Classy.

Now you no longer have superior numbers.

If anything, we're the ones

who are outnumbered now!

Now, let's see what you have to offer.

Black Summoner

Black Summoner

They're all as strong as Rank B monsters.

I'll take them out before they get close!

Wind Shot!

With all these enemies,

we might break a bone or two.

Hopefully, one of theirs!

His jokes are terrible, but he hits hard!

His jokes are terrible, though.

My King, take out the ones I miss!

Leave it to me!

Wonderful.

They're all powerful, but not only that,

they move in perfect harmony.

You're so young, but you fight like

a warrior with years of experience!

You don't seem too scared, huh?

Which means you've got more to show me.

That's what you're hoping, right?

You in the black robe,

you seem to be quite the battle junkie.

You've been like that ever

since the fight began.

It's a sickness, of sorts.

I'm having so much fun

I can't control myself!

Let me wipe that smile off your face, then!

He used it as a smoke b*mb?

Calm down, Gerard.

I'm tracking him.

He's coming up from

underground to attack us!

He sensed me?

You ain't going anywhere!

Nice!

His armor's strong, and he also

has 50% Slash Damage Resist.

Gerard's a bad match-up for him.

This next one is much

faster than the last one.

Clotho!

A slime?

Looks like physical attacks

don't work so well on you.

So how about magic absorption?

Get off me!

No, you don't!

Glory's Sanctuary!

I had no idea you possessed such power

Well done, My King.

It won't hold him for long, though.

He's so damn strong!

Gerard!

By your leave

Vortex Edge!

You're not paying attention, are you?

I win!

Nope.

You lose.

Efil!

Right!

Stealth so strong that I can't detect it?

sh**t him through Blaze Arrow!

We're not done yet!

Well done! But Glory's Sanctuary expired.

Fall back!

You're the second one to

do this much damage to me.

It seems all the peace in this

era has dulled my edge

Giving up, then?

Already?

You're a battle junkie. You must be joking.

The battle's only getting started.

Djinn Scrimmage!

My Lord!

Yeah, we're not waiting for

him to finish casting that.

Cleft Detonation!

Pyrohydra Primary!

Agito!

Just a little too late?

What power is he using?

Gerard, turn your Loyalty

skill up to full power.

Your sure? It won't last long.

You'll need it to survive that thing!

It's time for the final round, then.

Yeah. Give me all you've got!

Of course!

Gerard! Emergency Defense!

Earthen Rampart!

Gerard, if you can't block that

attack, the party will collapse!

Give it all you've got!

You're a demanding taskmaster, Princess.

But a real knight would never lose here!

You're a fool!

Gerard, don't give up!

I'm with you!

That's right.

We're still We're still

just getting started!

He's still coming!

Secondary!

You don't know when to give up, do you?

Yeah, 'cause we're confident we'll win!

That slime again?

Hit 'em, Clotho!

Why do you have so many cursed weapons?

They're failures from when I

was training Blacksmithing!

Surprisingly handy, huh?

This is it!

Radiance Lancer!

Blaze Arrow!

You win.

I want to ask you something.

What?

You weren't really going to eat the

Demon King's daughter, were you?

Why lie?

If I didn't, you wouldn't

have fought me so hard.

And Gustav entrusted her to me

Several hundred years ago, I was

appointed to be her caretaker.

Black Summoner

Your punches aren't carrying

your magic with them.

And your windup is too slow.

You'll never make it as an Arcane

Pugilist​ if you have to rely on your skills.

Ow!

I don't know what it means to

put my magic into my punches!

If you picked it up right away,

then what would I have to teach you?

Let's take our time training.

We demons live long lives.

Long lives, huh?

Am I going to spend my whole

life in this mansion?

Father comes to see me every day,

but when he leaves for work,

he doesn't come back for a while.

Princess Sera

Gustav kept his daughter hidden, so his

enemies couldn't use her against him.

Once you're done eating,

it's back to sparring.

Okay!

She had no friends.

She never left the house.

This mansion was all she knew.

And then one day, the hero attacked

and finally came for Gustav.

The enemy's armies were vast,

and the castle had almost fallen.

But I believed that fighting and

dying for my master

would be the best death I could have.

But my master, King Gustav, ordered me

to continue to watch over Sera.

If her existence became known,

not only would the hero come after

her, but other demons, as well.

So the Demon King put a seal on

her that only humans could break.

Compared to demons and monsters,

humans are weak.

If anyone but the hero found

her, she would be safe.

When he died, the magic he'd cast activated,

and Princess Sera was

sent to a faraway land,

so she could live happily in the

peaceful era that would someday come.

My liege, that's so selfish!

Do you think that will make her happy?

That's why she's here, in this hidden place.

I waited and waited, for the

day when the hero would die

and the w*r would become

but a distant memory.

An era of peace and weakness.

An era where Princess Sera could

rule as the new Demon King!

But my plan failed.

I have a last request.

Would you let her join your party?

Where did that come from?

You're strong and trusted by your friends.

Even monsters

You're a summoner

You noticed?

Princess Sera has probably already

awakened from her slumber.

Break the seal, and her eyes will open soon.

She's probably hearing what

we're saying right now.

He's telling the truth.

Do you want to be my servant, too?

If so, I'll heal you.

An attractive offer,

but I serve only the Demon King.

And it's too late, anyway.

Please show Princess Sera the world!

Master, it's possible she'll

become the Demon King!

I really made a mess of this

Now then, can you hear me?

My father Victor

They're all so stupid!

Victor I will grant your request.

Black Summoner

Kelvin!

Urd!

It turn out okay?

Yeah. We got rid of the

demon, but it was close.

Efil.

That's

Here's the proof.

Have them appraise it at the

guild, and they'll tell you.

I see. I'm glad you're safe.

Who's that?

It looks like the demon was

possessing her when it was sealed.

She was probably what the first

party of adventurers saw.

The Camouflaging Hairband.

It keeps them from seeing her

demon horns and wings

Gustav probably prepared it for her.

Out of love for his daughter?

She seems like she's badly weakened,

so I'm taking her back.

Can you guys

Yeah, we'll handle things here.

Your knight looks pretty worn down, too.

Yeah, I guess

I feel so much better.

I think something almost leaked.

That's the first thing you say after

you evolve and I resummon you?

What do you expect from me?

My level went up, and I was

on the verge of evolving.

Clotho looked strange just

before evolving, too.

A rare variant of the Abyssal Knight,

a monster that only appears in S-Rank dungeons.

That's pretty impressive!

His broken shield is repaired

No, I think it's even stronger!

This is my reward for upholding

the ideals of chivalry!

You were shaking like you were about

to piss yourself just a moment ago!

What?

Seems like you've finally calmed down, Sera.

Yes.

But are you sure you want the daughter

of Demon King Gustav as a servant?

I know I shouldn't be telling you this,

but if they find out, you'll be in big trouble!

I've got Rank-S Concealment!

So you don't have to worry about someone

using Appraising Eye on you to see your status.

It was amazing enough that

you defeated Victor.

Who are you?

You're not the hero, right?

The hero is somebody else, I guess.

I'm just an adventurer who

likes to fight a little.

"A little"?

Why did you all say that at once?

You really are strange.

Ready to go?

I've never been to a town before.

I never even left the mansion.

You nervous?

A little.

Don't worry. They're all good people.

Yeah. You'll get used to them quick.

All right. I'll do my best.

This is Parth.

The town where we live.

Hey, what's that?

A fruit seller!

They have a lot of different fruits there!

What about that?

A weapons shop.

They've got all kinds of stuff,

from standard swords to staves for mages.

Hey, what about that, then?

Make sure you don't crash into anyone.

I was worried for nothing.

I guess so.

You're having fun, huh?

It's the first time I've been outside!

Of course it's fun!

I've never seen any of these things!

So much culture and trade,

packed inside this "town"!

It's all so fascinating

Hey, what's that?

It's her first time in a new world, huh?

Efil, take Sera back to the inn.

I'm going to the guild to make my report.

All right. Leave her to me.

Kelvin! Efil!

Hey, I want to go look

over there! Hurry! Hurry!

Okay, Sera!

You don't have to be so loud.

I can hear you just fine.

Don't treat me like a little kid.

I'm older than you!

After this quest, I was promoted to Rank A.

I was told that if the demon that was

discovered was found to be Rank A or greater,

they were going to use it as a

test for the promotion exam.

I'm back

Our star has arrived!

Welcome back, Kelvin!

Congratulations on

making Rank A!

Ange heard about my promotion to Rank A

and held a party for me

at the Spirit's Song Inn.

Sera didn't seem to know how to handle

seeing all these people at once.

Efil and Claire seemed to be having

some kind of strange competition.

And I also found out that

Claire and Urd were married!

And people were very suspicious about my

relationship with Sera, the new girl.

I had so much fun with all the

craziness that time flew by

Sera?

Hey, Victor

The outside world is really

loud and noisy, isn't it?

But yeah.

It's a lot more fun than I thought.

It's all so new.

It's so big!

There's a big puddle here

I'll have to ask the gardeners

to do something about it.

Hey, the thing they call the

"sea" is a lot bigger, right?

I read that in a book!

That's right.

It's just water as far as the eye can see.

Wow! I wonder if I'll ever get to see it!

You will, of course!

And when you do, I, Victor,

will be there to teach you how to swim!

It's a promise, Victor!

Sera, what are you doing?

This is how you have fun at the sea, right?

You join in, too, Victor!

W-Wait! Sera!

Stop it

Your clothes are getting soaked

That's right I want

to go see the sea, too.

The mountains, other towns,

other continents

I'll live the best life I can in the

world that you and my father gave me.

So watch over me!
