Arata-san?
Game Master and Satan Slave
The Demon Lord, Astral Trinity.
Yes,
that's correct.
Watch closely.
This is what true control looks like.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
It got me out of there, anyway.
Is this...
He's creating a breakdown phenomenon to exercise control?
That's the manifestation of my master's Thema, Control.
It's basically the true consciousness of a demon lord.
This can't be...
Arata-san...
My magic is back.
Because my master...
No, the demon lord is controlling this world,
effectively taking Ilia's reign over it.
The demon lord...
I can't allow that to happen.
Connect to Superbia Archive.
Execute Thema.
I guess it's do or die.
Sorry, but we're coming at you with full power!
Anti-magic?!
He even got me, a grimoire!
You have potential, Magus.
Potential?
The potential to be well-suited to me.
Be mine.
Y-You're not Arata-san!
You're not him, so I have nothing to give you!
You did it, you tsundere!
Go to sleep, Demon Lord.
This is...
A-Arata-san...
I like you better when you're a big dummy, Master.
Is he okay now?
Yeah, he's fine.
You're awake, Master?
Y-Yeah.
Thank you, Mira.
That was a nice slap.
You remember?
Yeah. It brought me back to my senses.
Wait...
This is no time to be getting all emotional, is it?
True.
So what do we do about this?
The fastest way to end this is to defeat that grimoire girl over there.
Ilia...
Well, it's true that she is the core propping up this world.
I see.
But...
I have no intention of defeating her to end this.
Ilia, tell us how to get out of here.
Huh?
I wouldn't mind spending eternity here with you,
but I'd like to see Hijiri for myself.
Also...
Hm?
If we don't get out of here,
I won't be able to thank you.
Huh? Thank me?
Not again...
Well, you took Hijiri's place by taking her form while she was gone, right?
Yes, that's right.
That means you've really helped me out a lot, then...
So let me thank you, Ilia.
She tried to lock you in here.
Is that really what you want, Master?
I prefer to get along with someone if I can,
even if they tried to kill me.
Honestly... Once we get back,
there are many things I'll have you answer for.
You're so impure, Arata-san...
Sure.
But... I'm sorry, Arata-san.
Hm?
This space is no longer under my control.
I can't do anything.
I thought so.
It probably has to do with that black sun you made, Master.
I didn't know I could do that.
The true demon lord has some pretty impressive powers.
I must've been a pretty awesome demon lord, then.
You're always the one causing trouble.
Don't say that.
How?
How can you laugh when we're in such a dire situation?
There's no way to get out of this space I created.
You might all disappear here!
Well, we've always managed somehow.
Yeah. Master has good luck.
It's always a lot of trouble, though.
You can manage this?
We'll manage, if we all work together.
Realize.
Conception.
What, you've already learned how to use the two at the same time
since turning into the demon lord?
Your impure power is much higher, too.
Then I guess I'll have to show you what I'm made of.
I won't be a pushover now that I have my magic back, either.
Come on, Ilia.
Arata-san.
Let's be friends when we get back to the other world.
Okay, Arata-san!
I feel like my power has really calmed and stabilized.
Yes, I gave you all of my magic.
My specialty is support magic.
I see.
All right.
Lend me your power, everyone.
Right!
Take this!
Meteo Dragonar!
Scarlet Gevurah!
White Universe!
Arata!
Boss!
Thank goodness you're both okay.
I had no idea where you...
He can't help it.
He turned into a demon lord,
and then used more magic after that.
Even though it's Arata-san we're talking about,
I'm sure he's almost out of magic.
Turned into a demon lord?
Let's talk about that after we get some time to rest.
For now, let's carry Arata-san out of here.
What's this? When did you start calling him by his name, Boss?
W-Well... You know!
He's our temporary 2nd and all...
Well, I guess I'll leave it at that.
Anyway, we found the two of you.
Let's return to the school quickly.
Yeah.
A-Akio!
Brings back memories, doesn't it?
I was worried about you.
I'm sorry...
It's fine.
I'm just glad you're okay.
Yeah, but now he has two grimoires...
I just had the feeling someone was watching us...
Arata-san, it looks like you and I
are going to become enemies.
Let's rest here for today.
Yeah.
He's completely out of magic.
I don't feel any magic from the grimoires, either.
I guess turning into a demon lord is that dangerous, then.
Arata turned into a demon lord, huh?
Yes.
The demon lord, Astral Trinity.
He was really dangerous.
The essence of the demon lord that sleeps within Arata-san...
If he had gone out of control like that,
we wouldn't have been able to do anything to stop him.
Mira-san...
If you think he's that dangerous,
it might be better to just kill him now.
A-Akio!
I know, Boss.
I won't kill him.
I'm fond of him, myself.
Besides, Yui and Arin would get mad at me if I did.
Y-You're right.
You and Lilith-sensei would get pretty mad at me, too.
I-I wouldn't really...
Yeah, I don't care about this impure boy at all!
Anyway, we need to report this to the headmaster.
Yes.
And we need to work out a plan for what to do next.
So who destroyed Liber Academy, anyway?
The grimoire,
Iliad Fragment.
I believe that its former owner, Hijiri Kasuga,
the girl that Arata-san has been searching for, is the culprit.
Hijiri-san, huh...
It seems that she was a Magus,
and a high-level mage,
one capable of contracting with a legendary grimoire.
And if she was with Arata, a demon lord candidate...
It can't be a coincidence.
Hijiri...
Is that you, Hijiri?
You got it, Arata-san.
There's no way I'd mistake you for someone else.
That makes me a little happy.
I'm sorry, Hijiri.
Huh?
I wasn't able to grab your hand...
I couldn't save you.
It's okay, Arata-san.
You became a mage just to save me.
I'm really happy.
I'll do whatever it takes to save you.
That's why I'm going to get stronger and get you back.
You know that we're enemies,
and that I'm stronger than you now, right?
Yeah, I had an inkling.
But I'm apparently a pretty powerful demon lord candidate.
That's right.
The Arata-san who means so much to me is a demon lord candidate.
Yeah.
That's why I'm going to make sure my hand reaches you, Hijiri.
Yes, I'll be waiting for you to reach me.
That's why I'm going to take you out now, Arata-san.
Yeah, I thought so.
Are you okay, Arata?
I was just getting to the good part...
Though, this isn't all that bad, either.
That's Hijiri.
It does seem that way.
And I hate to say it,
but she seems to be unharmed.
Lilith Asami, the prodigy of Royal Biblia Academy.
The genius mage who was the youngest to become one of the Trinity Seven.
That magic...
You also have a demon lord element, just like Liese-san, don't you?
I do.
I got it from the "ruined world" that I was sent to on that day.
And this is a high-level change
that surpasses the Magus mode, using that element.
These clothes are a manifestation of the Ira Archive,
Satan.
If the clothes you're wearing are a manifestation, then...
That's correct, Lilith-san.
Collapse. The Ruina Thema.
Creation. The Partum Thema.
Disassembly. The Analysis Thema.
I have reached the height of these three Themas,
and have earned the right to be called a Trinity.
Arata!
H-Hey, Lilith!
You're out of magic,
so if you get hit by that, you're toast.
So you insist on protecting Arata-san to the end...
I see.
I'll take Arata-san's magic and grimoires.
If I do that, I'll be able to recreate you someday.
I'd rather you didn't kill me, if possible.
Then try to withstand this.
Try to withstand a blast from Ira...
From me, a demon lord candidate.
Black Azazel!
Hijiri!
A-Arin!
I heard your voice,
so I collapsed space and time to come here.
You can teleport through space?
I think it's because my husband was calling for me.
I was calling for you?
That's right.
It may also be because I was able to manifest this spear,
which was used by Sgathaich, the progenitor of the Chaosic Rune.
The demon spear, Gáe Bulg.
It's true that you could neutralize my magic with that.
Arata, sorry we're late.
We're here to save you.
Arata-san, are you still alive?
Arata... "san"?
You're in "dere" mode?
Huh?
No, that's not it at all!
Thank you.
I'm still alive.
Lilith and Arin saved me.
Yeah.
You summoned the very hinges of this world
to overcome space itself.
You keep becoming more and more of a demon lord, don't you?
Hijiri...
But if Arin-san is here,
then over there, at Biblia Academy,
they must be having an even worse time.
At the school?
I can seal all of you in darkness,
but since we're all here,
I'd like to play with all of you a bit longer.
We, Iscariot, will head to your school first, Arata-san.
Iscariot?
If you don't come back soon,
you're going to lose another home,
Arata-san.
W-Wait!
Hijiri!
Do you think she teleported to the school?
Probably.
I felt the same magic as when I was called here.
Mine seems to be a magic that takes me wherever my husband is,
which I can use only after he summons me.
I'm still not sure what the logic is behind all this,
but you saved me by coming here, Arin.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I'm glad I was able to save you.
So it seems that girl and her friends destroyed Liber Academy.
It had to be Iscariot.
And now she's probably heading to our school.
They must be planning to destroy it just like they did with Liber Academy.
They're a real pain.
But we can't get back very fast with Arata like this.
No, let's go back now.
But your magic has decreased so much that your life is at risk.
I'm fine.
More importantly, things aren't going to go well
if you and the Trinity Seven don't head back now, right?
Yeah...
Right now only Yui and the ninja are at the school.
We don't have time to sit around here.
Go back now.
Arata...
Hijiri...
I'm going to catch up to you,
and do something about all of this.

I'm going to take out all of the Trinity Seven
while Arata-san isn't here.
Why? Because the future is already...
Next time, "Fianna Knights and Sisters."
Fianna Knights and Sisters
That's right, isn't it, Liese-san?
