Demon Lord, huh? Would you say he's a hunk or what?
"Girlish Boy" "Yukikaze"
You wouldn't believe how snazzy he was.
I wish he'd just fill the holes in my heart and my butt!
"Noma Noma Bar Owner" "Iei"
You never change, Yukikaze!
Grab a guy by the balls and he can be yours!
"Greatsword User" "Mikan"
Yukikaze! Don't forget he's the Demon Lord!
Don't you know what that means?
And aren't you a guy in the first place?
You know nothing, Mikan. Girlish boys can get pregnant too.
Do you got alcohol in that milk of yours or something?
The point being, there were like 300 Sandwolves there, you know!
And he scorched the whole pack in less than a second!
A person like him invites disaster.
Mikan, did you already forget that old man saved your life?
Well, that's true, but...
I'll pay him back with my body!
Do as you please, but I want no part of it!
Good grief, my head hurts. Iei, bring me more ale!
Sure thing!
And I want more of that white and creamy stuff!
Open your eyes
Dwelling in the eyes of that majestic figure are wishes
Let's sing to the sleepless night
Dramatically pull everything in, even light and darkness
In order to smile again tomorrow, unafraid
I learned that true kindness is actually solitude after looking at you
I wanted to get closer to your heart and yet it's still so far away
No matter what fate gets in my way, I'll face it head on
With the bravery I chose with you, let's flap our wings and fly
My heart is trembling with the hope that I found
Resounding inside me move my heart
Lurking behind my hidden true motives
With a stronger gaze than anyone else
Dwelling in the eyes of that majestic figure are wishes
Let's sing to the sleepless night
Dramatically pull everything in, even light and darkness
In order to smile again tomorrow, unafraid
Let's begin
Open your eyes
Walking... You had Hades and accomplished so little?
You're good at giving orders, but still a coward when it comes down to it.
"Satanist" "Walking"
That Dragonkin possessed powers out of the ordinary.
That's all.
The appearance of this Demon Lord concerns me more than the Dragonkin.
"Satanist Founder" "Utopia"
Lord Utopia...
Although we revived the Demon King,
I've heard rumors he was killed by this Demon Lord.
In any case, it seems Hades needs even more sacrifices and power.
We'll destroy the Holy Capital...
...by letting Hades consume both the good and the bad.
That fool, Greole...
How could he stumble on such a small pebble?
"Hakuto Kunai"
"Merciless Invasion"
Oh? What's that village?
It seems like a pretty dead place to me...
That's my village.
Huh?
I'm saying that's my territory!
"Luna Elegant"
"Yu Kirino"
It looks rather run down, but... You're fine with that?
I have no interest in running a territory.
Besides, someone they sent from the church is overseeing it,
so it's none of my business anyways.
I see... Luna's just treated as someone who can rally support.
She might be good at magic, but she'd be awful running a territory.
Someone like her would raise taxes like crazy and cause a revolt for sure.
I imagine she'd get herself spanked in the stockades in no time at all.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
They probably shoved this land on Luna to keep her away from
productive land and their own interests elsewhere.
Message.
"Message"
Yu, I think the church is manipulating Luna like a puppet. What do you think?
I agree.
The nobility and church brass are probably taking advantage of her
by dumping the most problematic land on her.
Mmm... In which case, they can't complain if we take this rejected land.
You plan to use this village?
Since it's Holy Maiden territory, no one should interfere. It's convenient.
Luna, I want to borrow a corner of the village.
Huh?
Demon Lord? What are you planning to do here?
Not much. Just thinking about running a doctor's office here.
Oh, with Miss Yu!
If Miss Yu works as a doctor, people from the whole kingdom will come!
Mmm.
Chief, how about around this area?
It's a little cramped.
I was thinking about building a hot spring resort next to it.
A hot spring? That sure sounds lovely.
It's hard to find someone who hates hot springs.
I could rake in double the income with a hospital and hot springs together.
"Hospital"
I could even sell soap as a package deal and have a nice little business!
W-Well, if it isn't Miss Luna. It's so nice of you to come.
Ah! It's the man on the wanted posters!
Yup! He's the Demon Lord! And I'm making him cooperate with me!
I take it you're the one appointed by the church?
From now on, Luna and I will be taking care of this village.
Go back to the church or whatever and pass on the news.
B-But... shouldn't we discuss this with my superiors first?
Superiors? I don't understand your logic.
Luna is the lord of this territory and wishes to run things her own way.
Are you suggesting the church and your questionable superiors...
...are actually the true lords of this territory and village?
N-No, not at all!
The village belongs to Miss Luna, of course!
I believe you've answered your own question then.
Now run along and do as I said.
Hiyah!
You can be a surprisingly smooth talker when it comes down to it.
Don't you worry.
If you just leave things to me, I'll help the village get back on its feet.
Um, will my allowance go up then?
Of course. I promise.
Kyon, how are the carrots over there?
"Momo"
Not good. They're too thin to sell for much.
"Kyon"
What about you, Momo?
It's bad here too.
We'll have to go buy more Water Crystals.
But everything's so pricey lately. Earth Crystals too.
The soil's so poor that without Crystals, we'll never be able to grow carrots.
No one can grow them but us, so we can sell at a good price, but...
To think it's going to take so many Crystals...
We've got some rabbit-eared people here...
They're actually a race called Bunnies.
They say that long ago, the Cherub loved and adored them.
There's not many of them, but they've all gathered here to live.
Adored, huh?
It's almost like they're being quarantined here.
Because the Kingdom of Holy Light kinda hates all races except humans...
Mmm.
Eep! Wh-What did you do that for?!
Hmph. For no reason, really.
Just thought it might cheer you up.
You pervert! You just wanted to touch my cute butt, didn't you?!
I'm right, aren't I?! Admit I'm right!
Wait till bed for your fantasies.
I'd actually like to hear what the Bunnies have to say.
Ow, ow, ow!
Now you're sick of my butt and you're going after the Bunnies' butts next?!
You big demon pervert lord!
"Zero Kirisame" "Race: Human" "Sex: Male" "Age: ?" "Height: 180cm"
"Yu Kirino" "Race: Human" "Sex: Female" "Age: 22" "Height: 175cm"
I see... The water shortage is causing you trouble.
Is there anything you can do about it, Demon Lord?
You knew your vassals were in need, and yet you didn't help them?
Some kind of Holy Maiden you are.
I-It's not my fault.
I was taught to keep my hand out of such worldly issues.
So, you said your name was Kyon? Is there a water well in this village?
Th-There is, hop!
Hop?
Hop hop, bunny bunny! Hop hop--
I have to ask, but what's with that special sentence ending?
H-Humans get pretty disappointed unless we finish with that, hop!
Hop hop, bunny bunny! Hop hop! Bunny--
Could you please talk to me like normal?
Did you say your name was Momo? You can speak normally too.
Got it, bunny.
Hop hop, bunny bunny! Hop hop, bunny bunny!
You don't get it at all!
What the hell's wrong with these people?!
The water well is this way... hop!
Argh, just hurry up and guide us there already.
What kind of shape is the well in, Yu?
Chief... The underground water vein is completely exhausted,
and it's likely that digging deeper will be a wasted effort.
Hmm, I see.
But we don't have the budget to buy more Water Crystals, bunny.
We're in trouble, hop.
I just know he's going to do something crazy again...
Demon Lord...
"Pulley Wheel"
A Pulley Wheel is a low-level item, so it's only 5 Skill Points.
In Infinity Game , plastic bottles of water are the primary recovery item.
In areas with water wells, you could use a Pulley Wheel to get water.
I've got 265 skill points left over...
"Pulley Wheel"
"Hakuto Kunai"
Even if I make a field hospital and hot springs, I'll still have some left over.
Shall we get started, then?
Low-Level Item Creation.
Pulley Wheel.
I-I'm scared, hop!
Wh-What was that, bunny?
H-Hey! Where do you get that stuff from?
I suppose you could say from a fragment of my intelligence.
And? What's that supposed to be?
We should probably get this thing attached, then.
I'll help, Chief.
If the well's exhausted, I think it's pointless to add a Pulley Wheel, hop.
It's okay. You can trust that Demon Lord knows what he's doing.
Using this Pulley Wheel of mine will produce water every time.
The state of the well doesn't matter.
I don't understand what you're saying, bunny.
It's your speech patterns that I don't understand.
What the heck is he doing?
Aku, could you bring up some well water?
Sure, I'll give it a shot!
By twisting this wheel, even Aku can draw water with ease.
I just have to turn it this way, right?
You can't draw water from a dry well!
It's water!
Huh?!
H-Hey! What's the meaning of this, Demon Lord?!
Just like Demon Lord said, it's a cinch for me to fetch water!
Momo, look! There's tons of water!
You're kidding! How is that possible?!
You guys can talk normal after all!
As I thought, it's regular water.
I'd have to rethink my plan if it was water that recovered HP, but...
Then again, if Water Crystals are valuable enough to be sold,
it wouldn't be a good idea to let this go public.
Hey, explain already.
How come adding the Pulley Wheel made it so water comes out?
This is a magic Pulley Wheel from my homeland.
As you can see, it can draw water from even dried-up wells.
I believe you all understand how valuable an item this is?
It's not out of the question for a war to start over this thing.
But really, it's just a low-level item, though...
We'll keep it a secret in this village forever, hop!
Thank you so much! Now we can grow healthy carrots, bunny!
They've got to be saying it on purpose!
Oh, well. The next thing you need for farming is...
Mid-Level Item Creation.
"Fertilizer"
Fertilizer.
You can use this fertilizer. I'm counting on you to put it to good use.
Momo! This fertilizer is amazing!
Incredible! It's overflowing with blessed power!
Well, this should lighten up the mood in the village a bit.
Woohoo!
We can build up the village, but no one will visit if the mood here is bleak.
--Hurray! --This is great!
Just like that tea bowl, it's wild to think trash items can be so valuable here.
It's unbelievable...
Y-You know, I guess you have some good in you too.
Don't be stupid. I don't do things out of the goodness of my heart.
Everything I do is for a reason.
And what's your reason now?
Y-You want to do nasty things to the Bunnies?!
Are you dumb? Somebody has to operate the hospital and hot springs.
I'm planning to have the Bunnies work there for me.
Like this...
Hmm? If it helps my village develop
and raises my allowance, I've got no complaints.
Hmph... This is just the start of it.
The rest we'll leave for after the capital.
You better treat me to lots of stuff when we're there!
We'll do lots of clothes shopping!
Why do I have get dragged into clothes shopping with you?
My goodness. Miss Luna is taking over the church-run territory
"Head Noble" "Dona Dona"
and wants to run it on her own now?
"Head Soldier" "Marshall Arts"
We should be pleased.
But I'm worried about her.
"Eldest Holy Maiden"
"Angel White"
I fear she's being deceived by the one calling himself Demon Lord.
Do not worry. If that man bothers you so much,
I can always discipline him myself.
This is someone whom Miss Luna trusts.
We should not be interfering with them.
Hmph! Isn't his face already plastered on wanted posters around the city?
Dona, that's because the man has caused actual damage.
You wish to punish someone Miss Luna trusts because of a rumor.
Blitzo reported one of his remote villages was burnt to a crisp!
Didn't he completely demolish Miss Luna's escort in the first place?!
According to the reports I've received,
only a single house in the village was burned.
I think perhaps Blitzo has exaggerated the incident.
Arts! Are you saying you don't trust the word of a noble?
I judge not by status, but by if they're a person to be trusted or not.
And as far as I'm concerned,
I believe the reports of my trusty subordinates over what Blitzo says.
It's rare for her to act upon something by her own will.
For the time being, I believe we should wait and see.
If that's how the Holy Maiden wishes to proceed...
As you wish.
What an insufferable fellow.
I hate him!
I heard you had a rough time the other day. I'm glad you're okay.
"Deranged Holy Maiden" "Killer Queen"
You ran into Luna in the city of Yahoo, right?
Was she doing all right?
I heard she was traveling together with this man calling himself Demon Lord,
so I'm worried sick about her.
They said there was a Dragonkin in the report as well...
I'm in love...
Huh?
I think I'm in love... with that man.
I can still remember how cool he was.
W-Wait, hold up... What are you saying?
Are you talking about that rumored Dragonkin?
His incredible speed and fighting spirit...
His shock wave that embodied the form of a dragon!
Um, Queen? Don't you find it hard to believe there was a Dragonkin there?
Let alone one who embodies a dragon with--
You only say that nonsense because you didn't see him!
His fists! His figure!
His magnificent looks! His cool lines!
C-Calm down.
You gutless worms are a thousand years too early to face the dragon.
Huh?
He's way too cool!
Huh?
I'm rude and pick fights and have a bad mouth,
but he was worried for me as a woman! Zero Kirisame!
I've gotta hurry and find Mr. Zero!
Ah, I wanna bury my face in his clothes!
I bet he smells so good!
Huh?
I need you, Mr. Zero!
Wh-What's going on with these people?
Queen and Luna are acting so weird!
"I wish I could go back"
Is what someone said
But I don't have a past
For eternity
That nothing would change
Is what I thought
Over and over
Rubbing my eyes to make sure
I'm overwhelmed by emotion
Like a lie Bright! Still locked up
Hiding what I couldn't give up
That miracle lit up by my heart
Not sought out, not doubted
But still you believed
As if to teach me
RE NEW ME Now that I'm laughing with you
I can embrace it all
Once again
Demon Lord, that Pulley Wheel is amazing, hop!
Nothing's impossible for the Great... Hmm?
Good grief. How can water come out of a dry well, bunny?!
Hey!
Chief, I've been wondering...
Do those Bunnies have human ears as well as rabbit ears?
Hop... hop... hop... hop!
Not you too!
P-Phew, just a dream...
