We need to gather information without being discovered by anyone. All right, Long-legged Bug! I’m giving you orders as a subordinate of the glorious Mynoghra! Go check out the area around us. Do not disappoint your great king, Ira Takuto, and see that you complete your mission. I was a little concerned, but it seems to be functioning as a proper unit under my command. Yeah. It seems I can share its vision to some extent too, just like in the game. That expended 100 Mana, so we have 100 left. Building a Settlement to serve as our initial base will consume 20 Mana. Emergency Production does have a high cost. We can’t afford to waste any more. Honestly, I wanted to produce a Warrior that could fight for us, but that wasn’t an option with our Mana. I’ll just fight hard if we face combat! Or so I would like to say, but... The Hero unit, Atou, will grow stronger as time passes, but your current Strength is 3. That means that right now, Mynoghra is in the incredibly risky position where any encounter with a powerful enemy could mean its complete destruction. The difficulty’s high. Please cheer up, my king. How is it going? Well. I’ve been able to grasp the surrounding terrain. Though it’s all forest. It hasn’t encountered any animals or monsters either. Forest Terrain is perfect for hiding in. Though it’s quite odd that there aren’t any animals. There isn’t anything to serve as food either, but I’ll keep scouting for a while. I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful. It’s fine. Just having you here with me is nice. M-My king! I’m incredibly moved right now! Y-Yeah? I’m glad. It was hard to tell in the game, but I guess this is what Atou’s personality is like? A community of Dark Elves? It’s not that far from here. I can see several gathered together. I suppose that means this is a fantasy world? Dark Elves tend to be neutral, but lean neutral evil, so that’s a bit of a relief. Do you think this is the world of Eternal Nations after all? If there’s another civilization’s Settlement, then that’s bad for us. We want to avoid war if possible, which is why we want to stay hidden at the start. Being neighbors to another civilization would be most troubling. It’d be a shitty starting position for sure. If that proves true, then let’s flee together. True. Mynoghra loves peace and harmony, after all. Yes. War is barbaric anyway. Clap, clap. First, let’s observe these Dark Elves while gathering more information on our surroundings. If we’re not in luck, then let’s run far away. It’ll be just us, fleeing together! As you wish, my king! Dark Elves?! There’s really nothing here? Head Warrior Gia, I think we should leave the Accursed Lands... What good would leaving the forest now do? We’ve been driven off of our land, and we have nowhere left to go. I can’t imagine our children will be able to last much longer. This place is so abundant with vegetation. There has to be food here. At the edge of Idoragya’s Uncharted Territory lies a vast, cursed forest- the Accursed Lands. It’s written in our books that something evil was sealed away in those lands. Whatever that is would never allow life to flourish. That’s just superstition, Emle. You can see how well the trees are growing here. Don’t give up. You can’t let yourself give up. Our proud spirit and the ghosts of our ancestors are sure to show us the way to overcome this hardship. Yes! It certainly is a creepy forest, though. "Something evil," huh? I can’t leave over a reason like that. My people are waiting for me. Those of us who can still move have to find food. This is bad! That creature’s no good! It’s the manifestation of evil! My actions could affect the fate of my entire tribe. I must be careful. I am a Dark Elf of the Mazaram Clan, the head warrior, Gia Nageeve! I see that you are a highly esteemed individual! So first, please allow me to apologize for entering your forest without permission! Good. It seems you have sufficient understanding of what it means to enter these lands, dark fae. So, what reason compelled you to commit such trespass? My clan of Dark Elves, the Mazaram Clan, once resided in the central lands of Idoragya. However, our former leaders, the highest authority of the elves, the Tetrarchy Council- I’m a little relieved they seem to understand me. Keep it brief. W-We were persecuted and driven from our lands. With nowhere else to go, we made our way here... Crap! It was a mistake to try and portray our circumstances in a better light! You’re emaciated, aren’t you? My king is speaking to you. Th-The persecution was intense, and we came to this land to escape it. We ran out of food along the way, and since we wanted to throw off our pursuers, we haven’t been able to secure more food. It’s been several days since we last ate anything. Why?! Why did we have to be put through all this suffering?! What did we ever do to deserve it?! All we wanted was a place to live in peace! Is our desire to live that great a crime?! This sweet fragrance... They’re yours. Are you familiar with apples? They’re delicious when you cut them in the shape of bunnies. Apples? No, they’re different from any fruit that I’m familiar with. What do I do? Would it be rude to sample one right here? Could I do that when our people are waiting for our return? It’s good! It’s incredibly sweet! And juicy too! I have pears too. Pears? You there. What’s the matter? My king is offering you his charity. There are others like me who have fled to this land. We have small children with us. The children-our children are starving. They haven’t eaten anything for days, and they’ve all grown very thin. This fruit that you have given us in your generous mercy... I would like to give it to our children instead of myself. Please. Poor things. King Takuto?! Dark Elves are scorned as beings who have fled from the light. They say we’re only permitted to live thanks to the mercy of the Elves, the Fae of Light. We were subjected to that contempt and forced to live in the shadows, away from the light. No one ever reached out to offer us a helping hand. It’s yours. It’s a miracle! With this much food...! Thank you so much! Who exactly are you? It’s yours. Come on, hang in there. Head Warrior Gia will surely find food for us. What is this scent? I have returned! I found food! Prepare the food! Thank goodness. Where did you manage to get this much food? I just happened to find it. You’ve done good work today. Elder Moltar. The fruit you’ve brought back with you is incredible. I’m confident that I’ve lived a long life, and even I’d never seen anything like it. Yeah. I sampled a little of it, and it’s exquisite. It’s my first time learning that such tasty fruit exists in this world. Did something happen? I encountered a legendary being deep in the forest. What kind of legend? I remember Emle mentioned something about some being that was sealed away in the Accursed Lands? You met the King of Ruin?! You know about him? Some of the legends and old books remain. "When the world reaches saturation, the King of Ruin will appear. He will bring ruin to any and all, forcing all to start over from scratch." It’s unclear how true that may be, but I can’t declare it a lie. Did he call himself that? He didn’t give a name. But the King of Ruin, huh? He was certainly terrifying enough to warrant that name. Did you talk to this king? No, the king... was a being that seemed beyond our understanding. However, he had a young woman serving him. She clarified the king’s words to some degree. I’m not sure if the being you met was the King of Ruin. Though it’s clear he’s not something good. Now that I’ve filled my stomach and recovered a bit of Mana, I can tell. This forest is abnormal. Perhaps I should have noticed sooner. Did you give him anything in exchange for the food? Nothing. Like an evil being would grant charity without demanding anything in return. I don’t know. I just explained our situation when they asked. That’s all. Why would the King of Ruin do such a thing? Grace. "Grace," you say? Yeah, grace. His Grace sympathized with our situation and granted us charity. You! Did you just call him "His Grace"? Have you been charmed by him?! Absolutely not! Then why would you be so rash as to call him "His Grace"?! That title is used to show respect! His Grace granted us aid! When we were starving! It’s only natural to show him respect! But we’re talking about an evil being! Then what?! What was I supposed to do?! We’re only able to waste our strength arguing like this because His Grace filled our stomachs! Hey, Elder Moltar. What should I have done? Even I don’t know the answer to that. I’m sorry, Gia, brave warrior of our tribe. You’ve done well. I’ll handle negotiations with the king as the leader of the Dark Elves. I’ve been alive for two centuries now. I’ll figure something out. Please do. I wonder when we’ll be able to spend our nights in peace. I wonder when, too. King Takuto, sit up straight! How could you use our scarce Mana on something like that?! I-I just felt bad for them... Not good enough! We just got Mynoghra started. We don’t even know what’s going on around us yet. Hmph! I’m sorry for using our Mana without asking. Atou, please stop being mad. Hmph! It’s not like I’m mad about it. Okay. Then I’ll do anything you ask of me. "A-Anything" is going too far, isn’t it? You don’t have to promise that. I’m not really... I need you, Atou. I’m sorry for saying such mean things! I’m a failure of a subordinate for voicing dissent about my great king’s decision! Please command whatever you wish from me! Yeah... Actually, um... I wasn’t able to speak with those Dark Elves very well. Huh?! I’m able to talk to you just fine, but the words just won’t come out when I’m in front of others. I thought that was just you role-playing the idea that the strong disdain long speeches and leave the detailed negotiations to their subordinates? Apparently, I’m just awkward. My king! That reminds me... I don’t recall any nice chats with the nurses or doctors at the hospital either... Please don’t cry! It’s just, you know, you stand above it! and I rarely had the chance to chat with anyone... Kings are meant to stand above the masses! They typically only talk with subordinates that they trust! If I can’t talk to anyone I’m not close to, then I’m screwed... ▶ [Erai-raws] Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra - 02 [1080p CR WEB-DL AVC AAC][MultiSub][45F21576] "When the world reaches saturation, the King of Ruin will appear. He will bring ruin to any and all, forcing all to start over from scratch." Are you prepared to return to the king? Yeah. We’ve already accepted charity from the King of Ruin. We don’t know what he’ll demand in return later. No way. He never said anything about that. Can you be certain he won’t? An evil being demanding recompense is just the way of the world. However, it’s also true that we must borrow the king’s power in order to survive. Yeah. Even if we were to leave this forest, we’d just be going back to our vagabond life and struggling to find tomorrow’s meal. If we did that, then eventually... We came to the Dark Continent in search of a realm where we wouldn’t be persecuted, but this might be our last chance. Let’s go. The fate of our people rests on our shoulders. Long-legged Bug, I’m in the middle of speaking with King Takuto. Oh, I ordered it to return to us for a bit. I see. Apparently, the Dark Elves are coming. Yeah. The food you provided them before was too much for them to take home all at once. Having people with a different culture and ideology nearby can lead to conflict. I’d love to have them take the remaining food and leave promptly, but... Is there something concerning you? Well... I’m bad at communicating, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to handle negotiations well. King Takuto.... Then I’ll take charge of the negotiations for you! That would help show off your majesty as our king as well! I’m grateful for the offer, but are you sure? If you need anything, all you have to do is ask. Or do you think I’m not capable of handling it? No, I’d never think that. I’m counting on you, Atou. Your wish is my command, my king. We’re truly grateful that you have granted us the honor of an audience. I am the Elder of the Dark Elves, Moltar Cordal Mazaram. Good. It seems you know how to show proper respect. You have something you wish to say, yes? Then speak now. Yes. I offer you our greatest gratitude for granting my people food. May I please ask for the honor of knowing your great name? His name, you say? Ira Takuto, the Lord of the Apocalypse, Ruler of Ruin! That is his grand, esteemed name! Be sure to address him as King Ira or King Ira Takuto! Also, my name is Atou. I’m of lesser status than King Takuto, so be sure not to use the same title with me. King Ira Takuto, Lady Atou. I promise we will engrave your esteemed names into the souls of our people. It seems like things are going well so far. Then you may take your food and leave. Much of it will not keep for long, after all. P-Please wait! How can we repay you for your king’s great kindness in saving our people? That’s unnecessary. I doubt you would be capable of preparing an offering that would satisfy my king, and you lack the resources to do so, yes? W-Well... What an indecisive attitude. Are you plotting something? H-Heavens no! Things are looking incredibly bad now. Atou, a moment. Yes, King Takuto! About our negotiations... King Takuto! Those two suck at negotiations! Now, now. If we leave them alone, they’ll just get in your way! We should massacre them at once! Their necks would look great strung up on pillars, King Takuto! Hold on, hold on! Look... I’m sure they want to build a mutually beneficial relationship. Mutually beneficial, you say? Yeah. Let’s accept a price they’d be satisfied with instead of just granting it for nothing. I think that would reassure them as well. Rejoice! My king has said he is willing to accept your offering in exchange for his charity. Oh! We’re grateful for your generous consideration. How interesting. That old man was wary that there was some kind of catch because our alignment is evil. I see. What a fool you are. Thinking of King Takuto as one would a wicked ghost or an evil specter. N-No! I would never do such a thing! Silence! Still, what price? A price... A price... What do I do, King Takuto? The world beyond... You shall tell us of the world beyond this forest! That is what the king desires! Oh! In that case, I shall offer to share all that I have heard and witnessed myself! Very good. Then once your pact has been fulfilled, be sure to leave this forest promptly. He’s shaken. This one’s much easier to read than the old man. Nothing would grant us more joy than receiving permission to stay in this forest where the king presides. We cannot permit that. Furthermore, if you do not wish to lose the lives that have been saved, then you will not speak of what happened here to others. But we-! Gia. If that is what the king wishes, then we shall simply obey. Then, mighty King Ira Takuto, I offer our gratitude for granting us this audience. Is this the right thing to do? If I cast them out like this, there’s a good chance they’ll just collapse elsewhere. There has to be a way to overcome this. I know! Hey, you two. You should become my citizens. U-Uh... I’ll consult with my king! Wh-What are you trying to do? I was thinking of using the Refugee system. Huh?! Dark Elves are neither good nor evil by default. But if we accept them into our civilization as refugees... then assuming it works like in the game, they should become evil beings just like us. It’s true that it’s possible for different evil-aligned beings to coexist, but they’re very different from Mynoghra’s main citizenry, the Homunculi. There’s still a risk of them clashing. It’s true, that’s a risk. But I want you to remember. Remember how the Homunculi look. Atou, can you handle life with only those for citizens? That’s right. It’s impossible to hold a proper conversation with the Homunculi too. That appearance is bad for the mind as well. So you see where I’m coming from? It’d be a big help if you could convey it well for me. Our king intends to found a nation here soon. If you are willing to become its citizens, then he will promise to safeguard you. P-Please forgive my rudeness, but what would become of us if we become his citizens? You would be promised eternal happiness. Or so I would like to say, but I imagine that is not what you wish to know. To be frank, you would become evil beings. You’re free to choose your fate for yourselves. However, if I may add my own personal opinion, it’s more fun than you’d expect on our side. King Takuto, please watch your step. Thank you. I’m okay. Still, it took them quite a while to make up their minds to become our citizens. Well, I think anyone would think it over if they were told it would turn them into evil beings. They knew from the start what their best option would be though. Oh, King Takuto, I can see it. It’s the Dark Elves’ camp. Everyone! The king has arrived! Don’t look at him directly! It’s disrespectful! My king, it seems all the Dark Elves are here. Now, we hereby accept all of you Dark Elves as citizens of our nation, Mynoghra! King Takuto, are you certain? Yeah. All the conditions have been met. Now, let’s formally announce the founding of Mynoghra. Okay. Glad to have you. Congratulations! You all are now citizens of Mynoghra. Your happiness and safety shall be guaranteed under our mighty ruler, King Ira Takuto. Is that it? They said we would become evil, but I’m not sensing any changes- I can feel the hatred rising up from deep within me. Those who persecuted us, hurt us, and scoffed at us like we were worthless! I hate them! I hate them all! I hate all living beings! The rage and the hatred won’t stop! I hate them! I’m angry at them! This is painful! Are you okay? My king... I see. So this is the joy of being cared for. King Ira Takuto! Our mighty king! Yeah! King Ira Takuto! Our wonderful king! Oh! A few days have passed since I established the kingdom of Mynoghra. It’s checkmate. Huh? What’s the matter, King Takuto? Look. This is the map of the continent that you received from Elder Moltar, right? This is... We got such a shitty starting position! There are already two large nations on this continent. One is the Holy Kingdom of Qualia. It’s a nation of humans who worship the Holy God Arlos. Ugh, that means a hardcore good alignment, doesn’t it? Ack, and this one is a nation of Elves who worship nature. That’s also good-aligned for sure. If they manage to discover our evil nation... It’ll be the cliche, "Good day, sir. Now die!" won’t it?! As Mynoghra stands now, we don’t have the military strength to oppose these two dominant nations. King Takuto! To make things worse, these Accursed Lands don’t have a single natural resource we can harvest! I know! It’s so bad that trying to express this as a difficulty level is a fool’s errand. Well, at least it’s not all bad news. Normally, Mynoghra would struggle to produce Research, right? Our citizens, the Homunculi, are fairly stupid after all. Though it’s good that their Fertility is high and their Happiness doesn’t decline easily. Uh-huh. Though this time, the Dark Elves should help cover that weakness. I see. It would seem the Dark Elves are here to report on the world beyond again. Good day to you, my king. Lady Atou as well. My king, I, Gia, am here as well! Today I have brought my aide, Emle, with me. I’m Emle. Emle is an intelligent woman, and knows much about legends and about other nations. I believe she’ll be helpful. Our king is very satisfied with your dedication. Thank you! I am grateful for the praise. You need not remain so formal. Our king is not a fan of ceremony. If that is what our king wishes. Now, on to our plans for the future... We’ll have you work in key positions for the administration of Mynoghra. This is our king’s decision, so it cannot be overturned. Elder Moltar, you shall focus on managing affairs of state. We’ve heard you can use magic as well, so we have great expectations. I accept this post. Gia, you will continue to serve as Head Warrior, so please command Mynoghra’s forces. We leave recruiting up to you as well. I accept this post! If our king commands it, I’ll swiftly slaughter any foe, skewer them, and line their corpses up on display! What? That’s scary. Huh? War is barbaric. Our king prefers peace. Be sure to remember that! Y-Yes! Why would the King of Ruin be a pacifist? First, be sure to get plenty of rest. Once your health has recovered, we’ll have you start constructing homes. You have our deepest gratitude. Unlike Gia, who only prides himself on strength, my knowledge shall prove useful at once. Hmph! That damn old man! U-Unlike this old man, I’m brimming with vitality! I don’t need any rest! I-I’ll work hard too! Hmm. King Takuto, it would seem they’re workaholics. Shall we command them to gather resources for now? Hmm... I know! What about improving the Terrain? Right! There was that option! Elder Moltar, would it possible for you to procure lumber while leaving enough of the forest intact? Leave that to me. We’re also a people who make the forest our home. If you’re planning to construct buildings using big trees, then I believe we can fulfill our king’s wishes. Oh! That’s quite promising to hear. He’s the King of Ruin, and he’s not destroying the forest? Work hard! Don’t forget to Reforest it too! I’d like to ask a question. What manner of action is Reforesting? Huh? You don’t know about Reforesting? Elder Moltar? Emle? From what I’m hearing, the tech level for people of this world should be somewhere around Fortress Building. Are you familiar with the terms "Military Magic" and "the Six Major Elements"? I know of the Four Major Elements. That’s a fundamental concept in magic. Military Magic is also a term I’ve never heard any other nations using. I see. I guess this world hasn’t even reached the Magic Technology level of the Six Major Elements. They’re oddly behind compared to their other technologies. Does this mean... that our magic technology is far poorer than our king thought it would be? Exactly right. Though, on the other hand, that also means we have a chance to get ahead of other nations once we advance it. Oh my! Whoops, I’m getting off track. Reforesting is the practice of planting trees where you harvested lumber in order to maintain the environment. It’s an important step to secure resources. I don’t believe our magic technology has anything to do with growing trees? True, it usually takes several centuries for them to mature once harvested. Are you suggesting... Yes. Reforesting is a technology that uses the major elements to accelerate their growth. And this is also wisdom born from our mighty king, King Ira Takuto! Huh?! Truly?! Yes! Our king is a hundred times more incredible than you imagine! Th-That’s a huge lie! The knowledge born from our king covers many different areas. Do you understand how blessed you are to receive the grace of our king?! My stomach hurts from the pressure. Then the apples we received earlier are food our king created too?! Yes! Yes, they are! I especially love the grapes created by our king! You’re cut off from grapes for a while! Oh, grapes! That purple fruit, right?! They had seeds, so I tried planting them, and they’re already sprouting! I can’t wait until they’re fully grown! Umm, did you say you planted the grape seeds? And they’ve sprouted? U-Uh? That’s right! Why didn’t I notice it sooner? The food I created was from the modern world! That means I can use Emergency Production to create things that didn’t exist in the game! Emergency Production! I knew it! With this power, I can create gunpowder, base metals, and even oil. It requires vast amounts of Mana, but it’s obvious how overpowered that is! U-Umm, was that a bad thing? No, it was something we overlooked. You’ve truly done good work. An omen of the apocalypse coming from the Accursed Lands on the Dark Continent. That’s... So this is where you’ve been, Your Holiness. Cardinal. You have good timing. I wish to speak with you about something. We must hasten preparations. Barbarians have appeared in the Northern Province. Let us go. We cannot ignore this. Something is beginning to happen in this world. ▶ [Erai-raws] Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra - 03 [1080p CR WEB-DL AVC AAC][MultiSub][7A00D86F] I’ve heard that the saint possesses a special power, but it really doesn’t seem that way to me. You’ll understood soon. Your Holiness, hurry! The time for you to repent has now passed. For the crime of disrupting the peace of the Holy Kingdom of Qualia, and the sin of forsaking the Holy God Arlos, you are sentenced to a blooming burial. Some saint. More like an ultimate weapon. H-How on earth?! That power is part of why our nation is able to stave off evil and maintain a proper relationship with the nation of Elves. She buries her foes in flames and sends them off with flowers. That is one of the Idoragya Continent’s Seven Great Savior Saints, Saint Soalina of Blooming Burials. I’ve sent the Paladins out to the nearby villages. Cardinal, what about the matter I discussed with you on the way here? Well, which matter would that be? The fact that there’s an omen of the apocalypse in the Accursed Lands, and that we should dispatch Paladins to investigate it. I cannot comply with that. Showing interest in the Accursed Lands in the Dark Continent far to the south is preposterous. Central would never give permission to use the Paladins for that. Then perhaps I’ll go myself. Your Holiness, you don’t understand the position you’re in! You’re no longer the simple village girl you used to be! Tsk. I’ll send those I can personally command. Damn village wench. I have to save them. Now, everyone! It’s time for some fun, fun construction! Yeah! King Takuto, what’s the matter? This is nice, isn’t it? The Dark Elves worked quickly to establish this throne and council room. We’re just getting started too. Let’s make our civilization powerful enough to dominate the land and pierce the heavens! All of your national administrators have assembled at your command. Then let’s begin the council. Before that... O great and mighty king, please accept this offering. Huh? It’s finished already?! Yes! I can finally get out of my pajamas! We all worked hard to make it so you could wear attire befitting a king. King Takuto, it looks really good on you! Our king is terribly delighted. We’re honored to hear that he likes it. Yes! Now, the long-awaited time for domestic affairs has come! For starters, we shall conduct our meeting, consulting with the king as necessary. Yeah, I’m counting on you. So, Lady Atou, what buildings should we start constructing first? We’ve already started preparations like leveling the ground and pruning the branches. We’ll create a Food Production facility. No one can wage war on an empty stomach. Not that we plan on waging any wars. Forgive me for asking, but can’t our king create an infinite amount with his power? How long do you intend to make our king do such a thing? Plus, there’s the issue of distribution that will arise as we expand our domain. You’re entirely right. Please forgive my shortsightedness. So long as you understand. Here. Nice to meet you! Lady Atou, what’s this? A Flesh Tree! Huh? It’s a Flesh Tree! Um, could you explain in a bit more detail? This is one of our civilization’s Food Production facilities. It’s a tree that grows mystery meat that tastes like human flesh. It produces a large harvest, and it’s technically meat, so it’s very nutritious. It feels evil. We understand. However, there are those who may harbor ill feelings toward consuming human flesh. We’ll only be planting them to get started. Everyone has likes and dislikes after all. We’ll also need a hut for managing it, and a Building for stockpiling food. I’ll take charge of that. Please be nice to me. Next on the agenda is our Research. Since we’re still a minor nation, we urgently need to acquire the latest technology. So, Lady Atou, what technology should we prioritize first? Magic Technology, obviously! Exciting! You look excited, my king. I’m a bit of a scholar of magic myself, so I’m excited too. So what kind of magic will we be researching? Military Magic! Normal magic can only be used to attack a few dozen people at most, right? If I may humbly say so, I can do that with ease. Of course, Military Magic allows you to attack armies on the scale of thousands, as well as altering the terrain to your advantage, along with other strategic uses. There’s magic capable of producing such miracles?! For this, we’ll need to select a few who are talented with magic to conduct the Research. It’s not a very difficult Technology, so we should develop it quickly. The world of magic known by our king... You’re getting my blood pumping! Now then, that leaves our Military Planning. It’s my turn now! First, we’ll need to organize an army. For the time being, we won’t be putting too much effort into that. I see... Armies don’t produce anything and just consume Resources and Mana. Pardon me for saying so, but our current warrior band lacks the strength to protect our king. To make matters worse, embarrassing as it is to admit, both Gia and I have bounties on our heads for being the leaders of the Dark Elves. You’re concerned about pursuers. Then let’s create a Hero. Great idea! A Hero might have a high production cost, but they have hardly any Upkeep, which makes them perfect! Lady Atou, what is this Hero? In Mynoghra, there are several Heroes who serve under our king. They’re all powerful and possess special abilities, though they’re all monsters with all of their screws loose. There are several conditions to meet in order to summon them, but it should be possible to summon at least one soon. Not only do armies carry an Upkeep, they also stand out... A Hero would also do well in preserving our concealment. So we’ll create a Hero, and you can rest easy. I-I’m truly grateful. Yeah! Managing domestic affairs is lots of fun! It is lots of fun, King Takuto! We’re also collecting Mana from our citizens, so our National Mana is building up nicely. The amount we collect is proportional to our citizens’ Happiness, so the happier our people are, the more our nation can develop. All right! I’m going to lead everyone to the peak of happiness! Hey, Lonius! What are you doing?! We don’t have time to dawdle. This is a place for offering prayers to God. Please be quiet, Sir Verdel. You’ve prayed enough, haven’t you? We need to- Hmm? What’s that? Hmph, using your wedding ring like a protective charm? You have a daughter too, right? What was the name of your wife and kid again? That has nothing to do with our mission. Don’t be such a stranger. A High Paladin is asking you a question. My wife is Marsha. My daughter is Mina. Hmm... Well, we’ll be traveling for a few days. I’ll tease you if you start mentioning your wife or child’s name in your sleep. Don’t pout like that. Many rumors talk of him being crude and ill-mannered. However, his skill and achievements are authentic. Still, why are they sending me to the Dark Continent? It’s to investigate a revelation Saint Soalina received. If we’re successful, then we’ll be well-regarded by the Congress of the Southern Provinces. And if we fail, I’ll be held responsible as the Under Paladin. Hmph. These are some shabby forces for a revelation from the saint. You and I are the only Paladins, and they told us to make up the difference with mercenaries. It’s rare to conduct an investigation outside national borders, and there are no standards for the size of troops dispatched. I wonder what the big-wigs are thinking. Even with the priesthood and Paladins, it’s hard to know what the higher-ups are thinking when they work behind the scenes. They must have had some reason for forcing him to join me right before my departure. However... Lonius, man, we’ve been waiting for you. Oh! So these are the mercenaries you recruited?! Well done! All right! Let’s get this over with! Despite his attitude, he’s still a High Paladin. I guess he’ll improve our investigation team’s chances of survival. O great and mighty king, we’re truly grateful to have you inspecting us today. Oh! Incredible! I’ve seen the sight of our civilization starting out and getting into its groove in-game many times before, but this is what it’s like to see it for real, huh? That’s our residential area. We’re specialized in treetop architecture, but since we’re currently prioritizing the Flesh Trees, we haven’t made much progress on our homes. Also, the Flesh Trees are growing steadily, and we should complete the food storehouse soon. At the Magic Research Institute, Elder Moltar is leading several who are talented at magic to get started on research at once. We managed to discover a spring nearby to secure water, so we’re looking into creating an aqueduct. Furthermore, this building where our king resides is the public office where people can file paperwork. I know Mynoghra’s administrative body deserves something more majestic, but that’s beyond our means at present, so it’s currently this size. That’s great judgment. Plus, she’s handled things I hadn’t ordered, like securing a water source, which I’m thankful for. And more importantly... the Dark Elves that were so emaciated when I met them are now so full of life. Though I gave them that opportunity, It still makes me so happy to see. Um, what do you think? We’ve been carrying out your orders in the hope of repaying you for the great mercy you showed us. Yeah, it’s incredible. Truly incredible. I’m glad I welcomed you all in as citizens. Th-Thank you so much! D-Don’t cry. Jeez. I know how you feel, though. Please pardon me for my earlier outburst. Allow me to continue guiding you on your inspection. I’m glad she managed to recover. I never had a girl cry on me before, so I was really shaken. The Flesh Trees here are almost ready to harvest. I know we had to rely on you for them, but everything is proceeding smoothly thanks to the quality tools and farming equipment you gave us. I’ll provide your tools for a while. I’m worried they’d be of poor quality if you had to make them. That will help things progress quickly. It’s overpowered. Using an overpowered ability to dominate is super fun! You’re so evil, King Takuto! I’m almost ripe enough to eat. Now we’ve secured the food production necessary to sustain Mynoghra’s residents. Yeah! N-Next, I’ll show you to the water source. Huh? What’s going on? The forest seems strange? Oh, this is... The spring we finally found is now... What’s the matter, Emle? Well, well. I see you’re gracing us with a personal inspection, my king. I came to see about building an aqueduct after hearing from Emle, but... This water... is no good anymore. Let me see. Hmm, not when it’s this color... No, it’s safe. So good! Huh?! H-Huh?! This is called "Cursed Terrain," and it’s proof that this land has become part of Mynoghra’s domain. Try taking a deep breath. I-I feel my mind growing sharper. I feel my body brimming with strength! I feel incredibly refreshed! Cursed Terrain provides benefits to evil beings and penalties to neutral and good beings. Since you all became citizens of Mynoghra, you’ve gone from neutral to evil. You mean, not only is it safe, it also makes the land more comfortable for us to live in? Then this water’s also... I-I can drink it normally! Cursed Terrain is the perfect kind of Terrain for defense. Soon enough, all the land in our nation will change like this. This is also a product of our king’s power. As expected of our mighty king, it’s a most astonishing power. There’s just one problem with it. This blatantly stands out. Keeping a focused watch on this local area is sufficient for now, but if the entire region becomes like this, then it’ll become easier for our enemies to discover us. We should start forming an army. You’re such a worrywart. Our king is going to create a Hero, so it’ll be fine. With all due respect, we still don’t understand what a Hero is from what you told us the other day. It’ll be faster to show you. It’s been quite a few days since we arrived here. Enough for this. I forgot to tell you, but I’m also a Hero. That’s only a hundredth of what I can do in my prime, but those we call Heroes possess the power to wipe out armies single-handedly. Heroes are overpowered. They don’t stand out, and they keep getting stronger as time passes, even if they don’t do anything. They grow stronger simply with the passage of time? T-Then Lady Atou will grow even more powerful than that in the future?! That’s right. So long as we plan to remain isolated, I’m sufficient for our present needs. Atou. Yes, my king?! You didn’t have to destroy the forest to show off your power, did you? It can wait until later, but make sure to clean it up. Yes. W-We’ll help as well! Man, that was impressive! Once again, I’m forced to understand how great your power is, Lady Atou, and how mighty King Ira Takuto is as well! I believe we urgently need to construct a palace befitting our king! No, we don’t need a palace. I’m fine with the same home as everyone else. That won’t do! Do you think we could accept hearing that our king lives in the same dwelling as all of us?! We would feel too guilty to sleep! I understand it is audacious to object to your profound reasoning, but please reconsider! Um, King Takuto, it may carry a great cost, but a palace does produce Resources, and it seems it would raise our citizens’ Happiness as well. Then let’s build it? Yeah! I’d like the Floating Castle one day too, so maybe it would be good to build it early. The National Legacy that can be produced at Max City Level? It is everyone’s dream, isn’t it? Floating Castle? It’s a city that flies through the sky. A city... in the sky? It’s so fantastical, I can’t even imagine it. But our king has managed to realize everything he’s spoken of so far... Which means even a flying city is... All of us Dark Elves once more vow to serve our king with everything we have! Glory to King Ira Takuto! May Mynoghra see eternal prosperity! King Takuto, for now... Yeah. Founding our nation is proceeding smoothly, so let’s work hard to keep up the pace! Have you finished those off? I’m finished. Good! Let’s hurry onward. There’s no need for us to step in. Well, this is only the beginning. I just hope it keeps going this way on the Dark Continent. ▶ [Erai-raws] Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra - 04 [1080p CR WEB-DL AVC AAC][MultiSub][E2221201] Man, y’know... You did well hiring this large a mercenary group. Yes. I got lucky. Most of the mercenaries are currently in the north. The Northern Disturbance, huh? Yes. The Northern Disturbance. Barbarians suddenly appeared in the northern province of the Holy Kingdom of Qualia and raided the villages. It caused enormous damage. The saint and the army were sent to bring things under control, but the disturbance still shows no signs of settling down. Man, I’ve heard the north is in trouble. Don’t talk like it doesn’t concern you, Bargo. You say that, but it really isn’t our problem. What, you guys don’t plan on going on there? I heard you can earn a lot of money. Even if it pays well, after hearing there’s a Witch up there, I’m staying away. A Witch? Well, who cares about the north. We’re heading south, to the Accursed Lands. Who knows what we’ll find there, so be on guard. I know that, buddy. Bargo, what was that about a Witch? Oh, it’s just a rumor. Hearsay. People are talking and saying that the commotion up north was caused by a Witch. Ridiculous. The saint was sent to the north as well. There’s no way one person caused that. Yeah, I figure that’s impossible too. Probably some heretics or something. Stop it! Enough with the depressing talk! S-Sorry. Refill! Coming! Haven’t you had a bit too much to drink, buddy? Quit nitpicking, Bargo. God has told us: "After caring for the suffering of the populace in your own home and before your family, you should doff your robes." In other words! When work is over, it’s okay to cut loose and relax! That’s Article 3, Section 4, Clause 3 of the Holy God Arlos’s doctrine, right? That clause preaches that we’re temporarily freed from our sacred duties around our families. It’s not supposed to grant permission for drinking. Hmm? A difference in interpretation. Do we need to engage in religious debate, Lornius? I’ve brought your refill! I’ve waited for this! Still, guys, we have two Holy Knights going out of their way to investigate something. Something in the Accursed Lands of the Dark Continent, no less. What on earth could be that important? It’s not something involving a Witch like up north, is it? If it is, then we’re... It’s not that. Don’t worry. We do have an idea of what it is. Yeah? What is it? Well, that’s where the Dark Elves ran off to. The brass are probably just worried about them causing trouble. I see! You’re right that we can’t just leave them alone. They’re talented in curses and assassinations, after all. If they were to gain power in hiding, they’d eventually turn their blades on us! Don’t tense up, Lornius. We’re just investigating this time. We can just run if it gets dangerous. Just run away. Oh! It’s a relief for us to hear that’s your plan. Sir Werdel, are you sure that’s the attitude we should have as God’s vanguards? If we find evil in there, then shouldn’t we risk our lives to exterminate it? Lornius! Don’t be too hungry for glory. There will come a time when that’s necessary for us as Holy Knights. But that’s not something you should decide so easily. But... You have a family, don’t you? It’s the same for me and these guys. We have good reasons not to die. So... Enough, enough! Have I become a self-important old man, drinking booze and lecturing others?! Old man? You guys! We’re hitting the Dark Continent tomorrow! So go on and drink up now! Yeah! May the Holy God Arlos’ protection be with them. Umm, is something about to happen? I don’t know. But our king has gathered us here. I’m sure it’s important to the nation. Be quiet. It’s starting. The Flesh Tree’s fruit... Became a Long-legged Bug?! My king, are you truly able to create new life? Oh my! Whoa! Did you see that? This is the power of our king, King Ira Takuto. Our king still has much more power than this too. Your dedication and your happiness will grant our king even more powers! Everyone! Show our king even more devotion for his sake! Do you understand?! Yeah! I’m glad it went well. Good work out there, King Takuto. I’m delighted that we were able to use normal production. Yeah. There’s that too, but I’m relieved they backed down when I smiled to brush off their question. Although... I wonder what’s going on with that too. Yes. I didn’t think it’d be as simple as gathering the resources, pouring mana into them, and then "There, all done." Well, thinking about things we don’t understand won’t do any good. More importantly, King Takuto! Yeah? With this latest ritual, we were able to confirm that we can we safely produce new units. That means next time we can... Yeah. We’ll conduct a Hero Summoning. I knew it! Even though we need to build up a stockpile of mana for now, we finally have a path forward. With two Heroes on our side, we can be assured of our fighting forces. So who do you plan to summon first? Isla, the Queen of Bugs. I’m thinking of going with her. Isla, then?! She’s fairly overpowered too, isn’t she?! Yeah! Isla, the Queen of Bugs, is one of Mynoghra’s proud insectoid Heroes. She has the ability to empower all Insect units. With that, the Long-legged Bugs will become top-notch fighters. Moreover, she also has the ability to produce Larva units and create our workforce. Isla boasts great performance in both war and domestic affairs. She’s the Hero we need the most right now. That’s impressive, King Takuto. Getting Isla early in the game to give birth, increase the workforce, and grow more powerful is a standard strategy. When faced with many unknown elements, that’s all the more reason to adopt the most reliable plan. Exactly. Well, that and all the others have horrible personalities. That meant Isla was the only choice we had. Now that you mention it, one loves world conquest, another loves throwing the world into chaos... All our Heroes are problematic... Yeah. We want to focus on domestic affairs, so the idea of summoning them is a bit... y’know? We can’t go without their abilities, and I’d personally love to meet them too, so I plan to summon them eventually. I just hope they don’t cause issues. I want to live in peace, Atou. Yes, my king. It’s a Hill Giant! Foul things attacking in broad daylight! I suppose I should expect that from the Dark Continent. Hey guys, sorry to ask, but could you give us some help? Of course. You men draw your bows- No, I’ll do it. Huh?! Are you sure? Yeah. We don’t have time to waste getting delayed here. None of you guys do anything. It’ll be a pain if his attention gets distracted. O God! Grant me the power to strike down evil! A holy sword art? Yeah. It’s Qualia’s secret technique of incorporating prayers into the motions of our sword in order to gain divine might. It’s starting! Look out! Wha?! Wha?! Holy Knights granted divine might have their physical abilities enhanced, and the power to eradicate evil fills their bodies. For a High Holy Knight, that power is... equivalent to that of a Lesser Dragon. A hill giant won’t even stand a chance. Yeah! That was impressive, Sir Werdel. Hmm? With power like that, we should be able to complete our mission without any issues. I’m not so sure. King Takuto... Why don’t you eat something that’s finer quality? Huh? I can’t eat it? You’re welcome to eat it... but I think you should be eating healthier meals. I’m sick of doing that. When I was hospitalized, I ate lots of that stuff. On that note, though, I’m more worried about you. Worried? Why is that? Why? Because you’re just eating salads. That suits my tastes better. You’re far too healthy for your evil alignment. Anyway, this is becoming incredible, isn’t it? The Materials for constructing the Palace, right? The Dark Elves are certainly going all out. Oh! That reminds me. What’s the matter? Once we’re done eating, could you summon Moltar and the others? As you wish. Though what did you wish to discuss? Thanks to the Long-legged Bugs, I can see the area around the forest as well. I figured I’d consult with them on how to handle it. We need to handle the area around the forest? You’re referring to the nearby city, then? Yeah. That town’s not part of... Qualia, was it? It’s not part of that good nation. Well, Qualia is much further to the north. This town would be of a different, neutral nation in the east. We certainly should decide on how to handle this. They’re likely to be the first to discover our existence, since they’re closest. Right? I’m glad they’re a neutral nation. If they were good, there would be no chance of negotiating. Yes. Anyone else coming here would mean trouble. Since it would mean they came with a purpose. You’re such a worrywart, Atou. There’s no sign that anyone’s aware of our existence, so it’ll be fine. Oh, silly King Takuto! Saying such things will trigger an event flag, you know? No way. It won’t trigger- Wh-What’s happened? Looks like someone really did come here. There’s an armed band approaching the forest. Atou. Yes! I want to avoid standing out for now. Go turn them away as peacefully as possible. If that’s not possible, then... As you command. So these are the Accursed Lands and the Cursed Sea of Trees that bars all life? Let’s go. Yes. Stop! Sir Werdel? A young girl? Stop right there, girl! Who are you?! What are you doing in these Accursed Lands?! I’m a Dark Elf who fled into these woods to survive. I see that you are a Holy Knight of Qualia. What business has brought you here this day? I cannot tell you our reason. Answer our question first, little girl. What are you doing in these woods? I’m simply living alongside my brethren who faced similar circumstances. You’ve gone out of your way to live in such cursed land? Well, whatever. Our business is with this forest. You won’t mind us entering, will you? You mustn’t do that. I ask that you please refrain. We are men recognized by God- Be quiet, Lornius! I’m talking right now! M-My apologies. Did that really warrant such a rebuke? I simply interjected a little. We came here on a job. We can’t exactly nod our heads and go home just because you don’t like it. My brethren are terrified. We’ve all suffered a long and painful journey to finally find a place to live in peace. I ask that you please show us mercy. You’re insistent on this. Is there something in the forest? There’s nothing. Only peace and quiet. What about you, Sir Holy Knight? Why are you so intent on such a gloomy forest? Tsk! We’ve come due to a divine revelation of calamity lurking in this land! We can’t return home without confirming the truth! Sir Werdel! The revelation is an important national secret! Why are you sharing it?! I told you to be quiet, didn’t I?! Secret or not, there are times that things need to be said! Sharing a divine revelation without permission is a sinful breach of trust! Even if he is a High Holy Knight, there’s still a limit to his personal authority! I’ll be reporting this when we return to our homeland! Do as you please. A divine revelation, you say? So you Holy Knights are concerned about this potential calamity then? That’s right. We’d like to enter this forest to confirm the truth. I’m terribly sorry. She’s refusing?! After learning we’re here on a revelation-a mission from God?! There’s nothing for you to be concerned about in this land, Sir Holy Knight. I beg for your understanding and ask that you please go back. Just letting us in a little bit would be fine. Is that not possible either? I ask that you please refrain. Was that evil energy just now? Is this little girl really a Dark Elf? The revelation was correct! There is something in this forest! We have to find it! So there is no calamity then? There is not. And the chances of a calamity befalling us and our people? There’s none. If anything, we are the ones to be afraid. Would you swear that before God? I swear it upon my god. We’re leaving. What do you think you’re doing?! She said they just want to live in peace. So there’s no problem here. I can feel the evil energy coming from her! You would trust the word of someone like that?! Yeah, I would. Beginning from a place of trust is part of our doctrine! And if she’s trying to deceive us? Don’t let fear color your perspective, you impious man. There’s no problem here. That’s the result of our investigation. Now, let’s get back home already. What a shame! High Holy Knight Werdel, I deem that you have abandoned our mission, and strip you of your authority! Huh? Are you screwing with me right now? You are the one screwing around! Not only have you shared the revelation, but you plan to return without investigating?! Are you making a mockery of God’s will?! I cannot entrust this mission to someone like that! Henceforth, I shall be taking command! We will now enter the Accursed Lands and conduct our investigation! To ascertain the truth of this calamity! As you say, boss. Stop it! Bargo! I’m sorry, buddy. The one employing us is Sir Lornius. Dammit! I beg you, please don’t be so rash. We’re capable of talking this out. Silence! If you continue to interfere, then we won’t show mercy! Seize her! Stop! Do not lay a hand on the defenseless! I guess it failed. Are you all right, Lornius?! Sir Werdel? What happened? It’s a Witch! We found a damn Witch! And here everything was going so well, too. Life doesn’t always go your way, does it? ▶ [Erai-raws] Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra - 05 [1080p CR WEB-DL AVC AAC][MultiSub][102562FA] So these are the Accursed Lands and the Cursed Sea of Trees that bars all life? Let’s go. Yes. A young girl? Stop right there, girl! Who are you?! I’m a Dark Elf who fled into these woods to survive. Our business is with this forest. You won’t mind us entering, will you? You mustn’t do that. I ask that you please refrain. We’re leaving. What do you think you’re doing?! She said they just want to live in peace. So there’s no problem here. There’s no problem here. That’s the result of our investigation. Henceforth, I shall be taking command! We will now enter the Accursed Lands and conduct our investigation! To ascertain the truth of this calamity! As you say, boss. Stop it! Bargo! I guess it failed. What happened? It’s a Witch! We found a damn Witch! And here everything was going so well, too. Life doesn’t always go your way, does it? It really doesn’t. Bargo! I don’t care who does it, just get a runner back home! They have to know about this! Sorry, buddy. She just took out our messengers with that attack. Come on. I’m the monster you’ve been looking for. The calamity you were searching for has appeared before you. Sir Verdel! Don’t lose your nerve now! We have no choice but to fight at this point! Everyone, combat formation! Ready your weapons! We will now eliminate the calamity! Yeah! Oh? You’re attacking me? Fire! No mercy! That’s good! I like this! Love it, in fact! Impossible! Dammit! This is horrible! And everything nearly went so well! I’m completely in agreement. I also regret that it’s come to this. Though it’s all the fault of that fool who brandished his silly piety and tried to pry where he shouldn’t. Sir Verdel, what... exactly is a Witch? I was ordered to keep it strictly confidential by the higher-ups, but I guess I should have told you. When the saint receives a revelation and the upper ranks confirm it, that monster is designated as a calamity and called a Witch. The commotion up north was caused by a Witch too! This woman is likely that very same thing! Do you understand how dangerous the situation we’re in is now?! Yes! All done? All finished chatting? Mercenaries, fall back! We’ll face her! Follow my lead, Lonius! O God! Grant me the power to strike down evil! So slow. Weak, too. Nah, that ain’t necessarily the case! First, we’ll deal with those disgusting tentacles! We’re cutting them all off! Yes! Using a god’s blessing to deliver a divine strike? The effect is a special attack bonus against evil-aligned entities, I’d say. This is the problem with units from a good civilization. Just three more! Why, you! Well done! What?! Shit! Dammit! Sir Verdel! Pardon me. I was taking you Paladins a bit too lightly. You’ve proven stronger than expected. However, how is this for you? Can you strike now? You can’t, can you? This is why I love humans. You care for each other so much that you make perfect shields! S-Save me! You fiend! Restrain yourself, Lonius! Just two more. Cut off two more, and we win. But then- If we defeat that fiend, then we’ll purge the calamity. There won’t be any harm to our homeland. Think of the bigger picture right now! I understand. What?! Why are you attacking?! The hostages too?! I’m sorry, but- This is- Huh? Run! Run, Loni-! S-Sir Verdel?! How? We cut all the tentacles! Did I ever say I only had six? I can replace these as much as I want. Wha?! She was toying with us from the very start? Now then... Run! Huh? Have everyone scatter and run in different directions! At least one person must survive to warn our homeland about this! You just had to do that. How are you... Able to use Holy Sword Artes, you ask? I stole them. From that man there. Stole them? Yes. All the diligent effort he put in, all the techniques he honed, became mine the moment I killed him! The skill behind this technique! It seems Paladin Verdel was a man worthy of being called a powerful fighter. Though he died from your shortsightedness! So your wife’s name is Marsha, and Mina’s your daughter? How do you know that?! Did you also... Yes, I stole it! His feelings, his memories, everything! I-Impossible! Skills, memories... She steals everything from those she kills? So that means she only gets stronger the more she kills?! "If I die here, what will happen to Lonius and his family?" "The mercenaries, and even myself, all have people waiting for our return!" How heroic. No wonder he was a High Paladin. He was concerned for all of your safety until his final moment. So what are you feeling after hearing that, Paladin Lonius?! H-His will still lives on! While I’m keeping you in check here, the mercenaries can escape! What?! Oh, that’s the Dark Elves. I ordered them to not let a single man escape. Huh? Did I ever say that I was alone? Why don’t we talk about a future that could have been? This is what would have happened if you had listened to Paladin Verdel: You would have returned home safely and been reunited with your beloved family. You would have enjoyed the peaceful happiness of an ordinary life, and continued offering your prayers of gratitude to your god. Meanwhile, we would have been blessed with peace as well. The forest would have remained tranquil, and I would have gone to bed hoping that could last forever. Now, let’s talk about the future you have chosen. You will die. Then your family will die too. I’ll hunt them down and kill them. I’ll torment them, and torment them, and torment them, until they plead for death. Only then will I kill them. After that, I’ll go to every village and town you all stopped at on your way here, and I’ll kill everyone living there. There won’t be much point or meaning to that, but I might as well kill them. When they ask me why, I’ll tell them it was because of your foolish actions, then I’ll kill them. Stop! When people disregard you, you’re finished. So be sure to kill them when they do. That’s what I was taught by someone precious to me. So I’m killing them. I’ll kill them without exception, to make sure none ever look down on me, no matter how many hundreds, thousands, or millions that number has to climb to. This is what you have chosen. S-Stop! Stop it, please! I’m sure you were a good person! You believed in your god, devoted yourself to your nation, and loved your family! How commendable! But this is why I hate those who believe they are just. Farewell, Paladin Lonius. Please watch from your VIP seat in heaven. Watch as those dear to you and all those innocent bystanders suffer atrocious deaths. Lady Atou. Yes, Gia? We finished off everyone as you ordered. I’m sure our king will be delighted to hear that as well. I’m heading back, then. You’re in charge of disposing of the corpses. Umm... What is it? Are you actually going to carry out what you just said to him? Hmm? Oh, come on! There’s no way I’m doing all that! Huh? I’m a pacifist. I was just messing around! Just messing with him! Oh, shoot! I don’t have time to waste here. I need to hurry back to our king! Is there something concerning you? Yes. There’s something I need to tell our king at once. Witches... There wasn’t a unit like that in Eternal Nations, was there? There wasn’t. It would seem this world definitely isn’t the world of the game. I see. I thought that might be the case, but I guess we really have come to another world. The game’s mechanics have been applicable to an extent, but we should operate under the assumption that the world functions differently. That’s troublesome. However, there are also good aspects to it being different from the game. You’re referring to your ability? Yes. The special ability Atou possessed in the game granted her a set chance to steal a defeated unit’s ability. But... I’m able to steal my defeated opponents’ memories to some degree as well. This will prove a great weapon in our arsenal. Right. Thanks to that, we’ve learned about the situation in Qualia without sending anyone to investigate. Yes. It’s fortunate for us that Qualia doesn’t have the forces to spare thanks to the disaster in the place they call the Northern Province. Good. We can take it easy for a while, then. I think they’re likely to take some kind of action after we wiped them out, though. They don’t have any information on us. So even if they do act, they’ll have to do so with caution. What concerns me more is the cause of that disaster. The Northern Disturbance... It was caused by a Witch, right? Yes. According to the memories I stole. Do you know anything else? Unfortunately, not much. It seems even Qualia doesn’t know much about the Witch. What they do know is that she’s caused damage on par with armies to the cities of the Northern Province, and what she’s called. Let me hear it. Apparently she’s called "Erakino, the Slurping Witch." Click, clack, click, clack. Rattle, roll, rattle, roll. The gods never roll the dice. Dreams and hope are nowhere to be found. Life is all just killing time. All right then, we’re off to the next city! All my simps, come on! Atou, that Northern Disturbance occurred recently, right? Yes. So a monster showed up that’s capable of causing damage on par with armies in such a short time? Maybe it’s possible they came to this world much like we did? Either way, it’s clear that they have someone with the strength of Hero units. This is a troublesome turn of events. What shall we do about it? Judging by their actions, I believe they’re also evil-aligned, but would you like to try reaching out to them? I don’t think we should do that. We’ll never get along anyway. Not when we’re both evil. That’s true. Everything was going so well, too. Why do we have to deal with one problem after another? Well, it’s happening in the distant north. The fact that we have time to deal with it is a blessing, at least. Yes. Atou, now that we know they have combat strength equal to a Hero unit, there’s one thing we have to do. Produce a new Hero, right? Exactly. I was planning on producing Isla, but maybe I should reconsider that now. Maybe it would be better to focus on combat potential. Good point. It’ll still take a bit more time to gather the necessary mana to produce a Hero. I’ll lend what little help I can too, King Takuto! Thanks, Atou. Though Isla’s not the only thing I need to reconsider. Meaning? I’m thinking of altering our policies a little. Our policies? Let’s forge an alliance. Huh?! We have a clear enemy in Qualia. Plus we have the uncertain element of the Witch. So I want to have another nation on our side. I understand your reasoning, but is that possible? We’re evil-aligned, you know. It’s possible if there’s value for the other nation. Of course, that will only work with a neutral-aligned nation. A neutral-aligned... You mean the nation to our east? Yeah! Once the Palace is complete, I want to investigate that nation while strengthening our forces. We need to find out if they’re willing to join forces with us. That’s a Staff Holder for you! She defeated so many barbarians so easily! Quit putting your elders on a pedestal! Hurry up and clear away the dead before you celebrate! Yes! W-What’s that?! Umm... Wha?! You’re kidding, right? I’ve never seen numbers like that! Quit gawking at them! Ready your arms! Also, messengers! Go call for reinforcements! Yes! What is happening here? Umm, King Takuto? Hmm? What is it? Umm, well, see... Hmm? I figured I might have soured your mood. Hmm? W-Well, you know! Umm, I might have gone just a little too far against those Paladins... What about it? Huh? Hmm? It’s all right. I would never be offended by anything you did, Atou. I really rely on you a lot, Atou, so please don’t worry about that. Just continue supporting me. King Takuto! Of course! I’ll support you with every fiber of my being, King Takuto! Now, give me any command you please! Go on! ▶ [Erai-raws] Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra - 06 [1080p CR WEB-DL AVC AAC][MultiSub][4043333F] Why are we... even alive? It’s finally complete! Yes! The Palace is now complete! We still have a mountain of problems before us, but this is where our world truly begins. Uh-huh. Once we have some leeway, let’s make it bigger. I love huge palaces! I couldn’t have said it better, my king! Our Palace shall pierce the heavens and spread roots deep in the land! The vassals who serve us shall be great heroes, both daring and resolute! The women attending to us shall be countless! Yeah! I’m getting excited! I-I just realized something terrible! We don’t have a single attendant taking care of you, King Takuto! Now that you mention it, yeah. How could I permit such failure? I’ve failed you as your servant! You’re going overboard. I haven’t minded it at all. I’m still concerned about it! Do you have any requests for one? Hmm... S-Someone who’s easy to talk to would be nice. King Takuto! I haven’t been able to talk to the Dark Elves at all, so I’ve been feeling really lonely. I want to try to be a friendlier king. Well, King Takuto, that’s because your majesty is a bit too great. But please don’t worry! I have a brilliant idea. Would you grant me a little time? Nothing good ever happens when Atou’s this enthusiastic about something. I have humbly come before you in response to your summons. Elder Moltar! Gather up all of your little girls! Our king desires them! Huh?! I’ll have little girls attend to him to help him practice his conversation skills... What a brilliant idea! P-Please wait a moment, Lady Atou! For what reason are you issuing such an order? Because our king likes little girls! Atou! Yes?! Now I understand. Our king seeks to have an innocent child close by to care for his daily needs so as to remind himself not to be shackled by common thinking. What an impressive mind. That’s true. Children often spout outlandish ideas, but occasionally those ideas spark revelations in adults. There’s also another reason. Our king is being thoughtful and trying to avoid diverting people away from our labor force. We’re still very short on hands at the moment, after all. Even if it is for our king, it’s just helping to take care of one’s daily needs. Even a young child is sufficient for such simple chores. Wouldn’t a male child work just as well, then? T-That’s not the only reason. Future leadership. I’ll have them study for our future as well. I’d like to see more opportunities for women to excel. I want this to be a step toward that. Oh! To show such deep consideration! Thank goodness. That was a desperate excuse, but I’m glad they bought it. My, my, our king has shown us many great policies. I’m surprised he’s already looking ahead toward the nurturing of future talent. Our king is impressive! I’m not that great. Our discussion is over. Now, bring us your children! I’m counting on you! All right! Now to work hard on curing my poor communication! M-My king, it’s just children being children. Our king is pouting! Are there no children who won’t cry at the sight of our king?! My sincere apologies. This is all of our children. Weaklings! They’re weaklings! Elder Moltar, did you allow those twins an audience too? N-No... Bringing those children before the king would be rude. What is this about? How should I describe it? There is a pair of twin girls without any family. They certainly are sensible girls, but there’s a slight issue. I believe they would be inappropriate as our king’s attendants. Wouldn’t wise children be a perfect fit? Well, regardless, we’ll see them and decide for ourselves. Please bring them here. I’ve already brought them here. Gia! You work fast, don’t you?! Unlike our aging elders, I’m always thinking two or three steps ahead for our king. You little whippersnapper! Now, now, please don’t fight. Now then, please summon the twins at once. Yes! It’s a pleasure to meet you, great and mighty king. I am called Caria Elfuur. I’m her big sister. My big sister is Maria Elfuur. N-Nice to meet you. They do seem to be children with a grim history. You there, how did you get those sores? From a disease. Poor girl! My king, this is what I deserve. Allow me to explain for her. The sores were caused by a plague, and even though she’s completely recovered from it, that scar remains. And what about your big sister? My big sister went through something very cruel. Something cruel? I ate Mom. Moltar? It was a hard decision. Their mother was a woman to be proud of. Our clan has never forgotten the sacrifice she made for us. Right... They traveled long and far after being driven from their homes. Of course that meant trials forcing extreme decisions on them too. One of which was starvation. The fact that they have the courage not to cower is appealing, but... My king, you’re white! How so? Hmm, I’m not sure. Maria, was it? Are you willing to take care of me? Yeah! I’ll take care of you, my king! It might be hard, with a lot to learn, but will you do your best? I think I can. Then starting today, you’re a candidate for the leadership of our great Mynoghra. O-Our king! Our king is a having a proper conversation with a little girl! You aren’t afraid? A-As her little sister, I have a duty to stay with my big sister. If that’s what Big Sis wants, then I’ll do my best alongside her. That’s good. That’s very good of you. Then you’ll stay with us too? Y-You can count on me! Our king has granted his permission. From now on, these two shall work to take care of our king. I’ll be counting on you two. My king, there’s something you should know. What is it? To be honest, those two haven’t cried even once since losing their mother. What do you mean? Their hearts remain closed off. I beg you to watch over them with tolerance and mercy. My king, your drink. Thanks. I spilled it. I-It’s all right. K-King! I’ll wipe your clothing! T-Thanks. Again? Now, now. Anyway, we have a meeting now. You two will attend as well. Try to avoid any blunders. Let’s go, then. Yeah. Now, it’s time for our fun domestic affairs. We’ll start with reports on our current situation. Construction manager? Yes, I’m Emle, the one in charge of construction. Now that we have completed the Palace, we have some labor to spare. Our supply of lumber remains steady, so we have plenty of resources too. I believe we can start work on a new facility. I see. Then King Takuto, are we good to proceed with the next Building we discussed last meeting? Yeah. Then, Emle, please start construction of the Clinic next. The Clinic guarantees the health and safety of our citizens and it has a low building cost, so it’s the best option at present. As you command. I’ll convey that to the one in charge of the work. Next is the state of our Resources. Who’s in charge? Oh! Th-That’s me! We really are lacking staff. I’m also in charge of Resources. Our domestic collection of Food and Materials is proceeding smoothly. With the aid of our king, we’re also able to provide the daily necessities we can’t produce. However, since that still consumes Mana, our balance between input and output is a little poor there. Using Mana on Emergency Production is just too convenient, isn’t it? Still, it’s a necessary expense, so we’ll keep using it. We’ll want to prioritize Buildings and Research that increase the production of Mana. Good work managing that too. Thank you very much. Now that the topic of Mana has come up, let’s discuss our Research. We’ve completed Research on Military Magic. I’m the only one capable of using it at present, but my subordinates will eventually be able to use it with more training. I believe that casting powerful magic with the Ruin Mana being provided by the Palace will be crucial for our future! Though, given our king’s policies, I doubt we’ll be using it very proactively. That’s true. Ruin’s military magic is quite useful, but it has absolutely no use in domestic affairs. For our Research, let’s also proceed as planned and move on to the Six Major Elements in the Magic Tree. There isn’t much merit to be had from researching anything else yet. It does mean we’ll be slanted towards magic, but specializing in a particular field is an orthodox national strategy. Lastly, that brings us to our military. Head Warrior Gia reporting in. We have a total of five new Long-legged Bugs added to our forces. They are primarily out surveying the uncharted territory surrounding the Accursed Lands. However, unlike inside the Accursed Lands, the land beyond the forest is all plains. We’re focused on maintaining stealth, so we’re currently unable to make any bold investigations. Good. Our king has been given a detailed report about our surroundings. Considering our need for stealth, please have the Long-legged Bugs assigned to patrolling our periphery. You want me to put all of them on that, then? I’m sufficient for defending our nation for the time being. You witnessed it for yourself, didn’t you? Yes! Furthermore, we’ve officially decided to produce a new Hero. I’m planning to summon Isla, Queen of Bugs. How are we doing on the Resources necessary to produce Isla? I’ll give the report on that. We’ve already secured enough lumber and rations for it, and we’ve finished transporting them to the ritual site. That means Mana is all that’s left. That concludes today’s agenda. King Takuto, what do you think? I have no issues with our plans. You’re all doing incredibly well. I ran into you. W-We’re sorry! Ah... We tore it... It’s all right. King... Hmm? My king, are you a bad person? Well, my alignment is evil. Then why aren’t you killing? Killing who? Us. Huh? U-Uh, well, my king, my big sister is asking why our great and mighty king is showing children like us such mercy. B-Because you’re taking care of me? Big Sis is mad that you’re being so kind when you’re a bad person. Uh... Hmm... Let me tell you about something! Listen well, okay? A good person is only allowed to do what’s right. They can’t hurt others, and they can’t steal things from others either. Murdering people is out of the question. Yeah! Naturally. Then what about a bad person? What do you think they should do? They have to do bad things! They commit heinous atrocities! You’re wrong. They’re allowed to do anything! They can do good things, and they can do bad things too. You see, bad people are very selfish and free. They’re allowed to believe in what they think is right and ignore what others think as they press on without looking back. That’s what an evil person truly is. So it’s perfectly fine for me to be kind to you two! That’s unfair! Of course it is. I’m a bad person, after all. Won’t you be punished one day? If I kill the good person who comes to punish me first, then I won’t be. What?! You messed up on purpose all those times, didn’t you? Big Sis and I... ...should have died. I see. But you’re afraid of death? They can’t forgive themselves for surviving due to their mother’s death. So they’re seeking salvation through death. I guess they thought that if they did things to anger their king, then I would kill them as punishment. You two are here now for a reason. You’re here because someone did what they had to for you to survive. You understand who that was, don’t you? But it’s painful. It hurts. What did your mother say to you? "Live on." Doing bad things isn’t always wrong. Both of you and your mother did the right thing. Be proud. You two are still here because your mother’s love triumphed over fate. My king, what are we... What are we supposed to do now?! You should live your lives as you please. So your mother’s love will be rewarded, and so your mother can be proud of you. Remember this. You two are free. You’re free to do anything, and you don’t have to do anything for forgiveness. So long as you behave in a way your mother would be proud of, then I’ll praise everything about you. You don’t have to hold it in. King Takuto, our investigation is- Shh! You’ve grown awfully close to them. Yeah, we have grown closer. More importantly, your report! Oh, pardon me. It’s about that city. Shall we go somewhere else? It’s a city of Forngawn, a neutral, multiracial nation composed primarily of humans and beastmen. Apparently, the city is named Dragontan. The nation uses a parliamentary system run by shamans known as "Staff Holders." A multiracial nation will incorporate several cultures and ideologies, so diplomacy should be promising. Yes. Though this is a rather remote city. I wonder why they built a city in a place like this? It would cost a great deal to ensure trade and distribution of goods out here. I do have something to report on that front. It would seem there’s a Dragon Vein Mine within the city. Oh? A Dragon Vein Mine is capable of producing Mana, so I believe we should secure it as best we can. Also, it seems Dragontan is currently in a state of high alert. We were only able to observe from afar, but we confirmed attacks from Barbarians like Ogres and Goblins. They seemed to be struggling desperately to respond to them. Do you think they’ll get reinforcements from their homeland? There were none in the regions we were able to observe. The city is in rather detached lands, so they probably can’t send any reinforcements. If they’re under attack, there’s a chance they’re generating refugees. Yes. If we’re able to welcome them in, then we might be able to increase our population. And if we help them, then even the Dragon Vein Mine... Then for our next turn... We’re dispatching diplomats to the neutral nation of Forngawn! You’re not human, are you? Correct. ▶ [Erai-raws] Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra - 07 [1080p CR WEB-DL AVC AAC][MultiSub][1011EC21] It’s a city of Forngawn, a neutral, multiracial nation composed primarily of humans and beastmen. Apparently, the city is named Dragontan. It seems Dragontan is currently in a state of high alert. We confirmed attacks from Barbarians like Ogres and Goblins. If they’re under attack, there’s a chance they’re generating refugees. Then for our next turn... We’re dispatching diplomats to the neutral nation of Forngawn! You’re not human, are you? Correct. There’s an aura of darkness so thick about them that I can tell from a glance. L-Lady Tonukapoli... Don’t attack them out of panic! This is bad. The beastmen’s instincts are driving my soldiers to fear. Have everyone wait on standby. As you wish. She’s not someone we can beat. Though... If this standoff goes on, then our soldiers might act rashly. Do you mind if I step in?! Good afternoon! My name is Pepe! Could you tell me your name?! This fool! I’m surprised you would seek an audience with our king as well. We had only just sent a delegation to Dragontan ourselves. So that’s why we happened upon each other? That’s right, Atou! We actually went through many adventures on our way here! Of course, they were all resolved safely thanks to my actions, Yes. Umm... I’m so sorry, Lady Atou. but I told that hill giant that suddenly attacked us! This boy is a fool. "You scoundrel, daring to invade Forngawn!" Oh, are you sure about leaving your men behind? Yeah. "Face my magic!" This miasma is a bit too harsh for our soldiers, Then I hit it dead-on! so I’ll have them wait outside. A real solid blow! That hill giant was so pathetic. Now, we’re about to meet the king this exceptional monster adores. It gave me this dumbfounded look. Well, anyway, point is, if I wasn’t there, it would have destroyed Crescent Moon. I wonder what’s awaiting us. This is our great and powerful king, King Ira Takuto. We’re in trouble. I can’t get a full measure of him. It’s like he’s darkness itself! Well, we just had a terrifying thing move into the neighborhood. Who would have thought my choice back then would backfire like this. Grass Tendril Magic! Brave defenders of Forngawn! You can rest easy now! Now that I, a Staff Holder, have arrived- Man, this is awesome! Oh! Master Pepe! We’re saved! The shaman is here to save us! That’s right! Praise me more! Shaman! Shaman! Shaman! Shaman! Shaman?! Quagmire Magic! Grass Tendril Magic! Hurry up and finish it off! R-Right! Look at what happened to you, Pepe! Granny Tonukapoli... Ow! I told you to call me Lady Tonukapoli, not Granny! I’m still a healthy, young 240 years old! Huh? Really? What would be the point of lying about that?! Honestly... You’re the only young Staff Holder! You should be more aware and act like a leader! I’ll try! Good grief, I’m worried about your future, and we’re about to head to the Accursed Lands too. We are? You weren’t listening to the elders earlier, were you?! They’ve received signs of the apocalypse coming from there, so they told us to go investigate! If these Barbarian attacks keep up, then sooner or later, we’re finished. It’s worse for a detached city like Dragontan since we can’t send the army there. We don’t know if the cause of these attacks is in the Accursed Lands, so we need to hurry. Now let’s hurry up and prepare for our journey! I see! Take care, then! You’re coming with me too! If I had just ignored the elders and left Pepe behind... I never would’ve brought this child to such a dangerous place. Nice to meet you! My name is Pepe! Please be my friend! Pepe! F-Friend?! P-Please forgive him! Pepe was nervous, so- Friends... Sure. We’re friends now. Let’s all get along. Huh?! Yay! Congratulations on making your very first friend, King Takuto! Now, applause! Yeah! Man... This... is outrageous. Here you go. Oh, thank you. This is... Our nation of Mynoghra prides itself on that being the tastiest drink in the world! I can’t believe something so sweet exists in this world. I’ve never seen such high-quality dishware before either. What kind of drink is this?! It’s apple juice! Another, please! This is really, really good! You have amazing muscles! You’ve trained a whole lot, haven’t you?! Huh? Uh... Oh, watch this! My magic is amazing! Oh? Pepe’s social skills are amazing. He’s already started fitting in with everyone. I could never pull that off. But friends, huh? It’s my first time having one, so I don’t know what I should do! Still, these are also important talks with Forngawn. I’d like to avoid getting drawn into their pace. I also need to show friendly intentions to prove that we’re not hostile. All right! Pepe! W-Want to play a game with me? Everyone’s giving me a stilted reaction. That sounds great! Let’s do it! Here I go! I win! I’ve never played a game like this before. This feels fresh to me. Let’s go another round, Pepe. Sure thing! Let’s play again! I won’t lose this time. Man, you’re a strong opponent! You picked this up fast for a new player, Pepe. Your apple juice is delicious, and this game is fun too. I’m glad I came to Mynoghra! I know! Please sell this to our country! I bet everyone would enjoy it! Pepe! You can’t just- Sure. We were planning to open trade anyway, so I’m glad Pepe brought it up. Though there are things I need to confirm before ironing out the details. It’s been very fun playing with a friend. But from here, it’s time for national diplomacy. That’s so good! Ow! You’re getting too relaxed! By the way, Lady Tonukapoli... Hmm? What is it, Lady Atou? I wanted to ask what reason you had for coming to our lands. She’s brought it up. The truth is, lately, our country has been repeatedly attacked by Barbarians. That’s odd. Barbarians should generally avoid large cities. That’s true. But they’re coming in incredible hordes. We came here, in part, to further our investigation. So you’re lacking in military might. Did he uncover that from my attitude? This is bad. We won’t be able to negotiate if he knows our weakness. Well, we’re able to manage driving them off. It’s just that their behavior is odd. So better safe than sorry, you know. That’s true. It sounds a bit too troublesome to ignore. Yeah. Well, two of our strongest forces, our Staff Holders, have been sent to investigate. I hope you’ll see that as a sign of our confidence. It certainly makes sense. Huh? What’s wrong? I thought we were sent to out to investigate because our country will perish if we don’t find a way to deal with them. How could you?! Did I say something wrong? Lady Tonukapoli, you have my sympathies. Hmm? We have no intention of bringing harm to Forngawn. I’m grateful to hear that, but... You might suspect that evil beings like us are up to something, but our greatest interest is always directed inward. In short... Nothing beats peace! Yes. Mynoghra is an evil nation that loves peace! I see. As for your Barbarians... If Dragontan falls, then we’re next. So this matter concerns us too. Are you willing to help us then? We went to great effort to build that city for the Dragon Vein Mine. We would certainly appreciate the help, but... What do you think, my king? Friends should help each other. I knew you’d get it, Takuto! So, what do you desire in return? Thanks to this fool’s slip, you could take advantage of us as much as you wanted. The Dragon Vein mine then. So you saw through it all from the start, then? We’re perfectly happy with joint control of it. It’s not like we need such a vast supply of Mana at present. Though we would like the right to designate which element it’s converted to. You want to convert the Dragon Vein Mine’s pure Mana into specific elements? That’s a technology that’ll take us ten more years to develop, but I take it you’ve already researched it? King Ira Takuto, Lady Atou. Pepe’s, well, he’s a fool. He’s the greatest fool among us! However, this child is still our nation’s future. He’ll eventually lead Forngawn as a representative of the Staff Holders. Plus, Pepe is the best judge of character in all of our nation. So- Pepe! You decide! You have that right as a Staff Holder. Come on, Granny. I said it from the beginning, didn’t I? I want us to be friends with the people of Mynoghra. Now, let’s reaffirm and discuss the decisions made during our latest negotiations. Emle? Yes. We’ve agreed to export provisions and toys to Forngawn. In return, we’ll be importing daily necessities and metal goods. It will be a relief to have those since we’ve been relying on our king for them. Yes. Also, our biggest gain is obtaining access to the Dragon Vein Mine. Sir Pepe’s slip was most fortuitous. Though his rashness is slightly concerning. That’s true. Though if it weren’t for Pepe... Then our talks would have probably ended in much more innocuous terms. Something as tepid as "Let’s take our time learning about each other." If that was the outcome, we wouldn’t be able to aid Dragontan in time. But what if he said that because he was thinking that far ahead? King Takuto? Let’s set Pepe aside for now. I think he’ll be fine. Yes. Then getting back on track, let’s decide our policy on future relations with Forngawn. Umm? Yes? Feel free to speak your mind. What kind of country is Forngawn in the first place? We don’t know. Thank you! Yes, good question, indeed. In order to develop international relations, we need to learn more details about their values and customs. That’s a blind spot for me, since the game never concerned itself with those details. In that case, we’ll need to investigate Forngawn first. However... Forngawn’s capital, Crescent Moon, is very far away, so it’ll take time to investigate. Let’s put that on hold for now. We should prioritize Dragontan, since it needs the aid. Understood. However, we’ll need some kind of formal reason to head directly into another nation. We’re going there to play! Uh... That’s what Pepe said, right? That’s right! We can quickly send out a few people to pay our respects before sending a formal delegation. In that case, then may I humbly ask, should I head there myself? Hmm, I think you’re too important for that to work, Moltar. Oh, right. He may just be a wise old man to us, but other nations would see him as the Chancellor and Minister of Magic. There were some unnecessary comments there, but you’re right. In that same vein, Gia would be our General, and Emle our Minister of Domestic Affairs. All of us would be too important for a simple show of respect. We need someone with appropriate status, who we can trust, and who doesn’t hold an official post. We’ll do our best! Isn’t that dangerous?! They’re both candidates for leadership. That’s neither too little nor too great status. I also believe they would be the perfect fit so they can gain experience from this. But isn’t that dangerous?! I’ll go! Our king is worried about what might happen to them if they were to be kidnapped! Lady Atou, you are our king’s most trusted confidant. It would be an even bigger deal if you went. Trusted confidant... Yes, his most trusted confidant couldn’t possibly go! My king. My king, you told us before, right? That we’re free. Yeah. We want to prove useful to you. That’s one thing we wish for with our freedom. But what if something happens to you? We’re willing to take that risk. My king, please. Please, my king! Fine. Yay! M-My king just caved in to the pestering of someone other than me?! Still, my king, sending those two by themselves isn’t... Yeah, no need to worry about that. I have something in mind for their guards. Hmph! I-It’s not what you think, Atou. I didn’t just cave in to their begging... Hmph! You can just abandon me and go on ahead with building your harem! My king! Hmm? You should just tell her what you’re thinking. Uh, Atou... Well, thank you. For thinking about me all the time. I really am sorry about recent events. I didn’t mean to make you worry so much, Atou. I never would have made it this far if I didn’t have you at my side. Oh, it’s nothing. I need you. Please cheer up, Atou. You’re the only one for me, Atou. You’re the only one for me, Atou. Thank you! Y-Yes, King Takuto... This is our Clinic. Where diseases are cured! Correct! The Building Cost is low too, so I had it built. My king, are you sick? I’m not. We’re here because your guard is here. You don’t mean them, do you? Yeah, them! The unit I just produced a little while ago! ▶ [Erai-raws] Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra - 08 [1080p CR WEB-DL AVC AAC][MultiSub][8EC01900] This is our Clinic. Where diseases are cured! Correct! The Building Cost is low too, so I had it built. My king, are you sick? I’m not. We’re here because your guard is here. You don’t mean them, do you? Yeah, them! Are you in? Oh! It’s our great and mighty king, King Ira Takuto! We’re honored to have you visit us here! What an auspicious day! Please, command us as you wish! Their enthusiasm is sufficient. They pass as subordinates of King Takuto. Yeah, I produced them to prepare for the worst, but I’ve just had them standing by until now. I figure they’d be perfect for the task. That’s true. Given their abilities, they’ll be adequate guards. I never thought we’d be using them so soon though. Um... My king, who are these people? They’re Medics. They not just treat injuries and diseases, but they can also fight to protect you. Medics! Our great king, King Ira Takuto, has words for all of you. Pay close attention! Yes, ma’am! You are to protect these two as they head to Dragontan, and observe the culture and the current state of that land! O-Oh! Culture! Observation! Protecting! What a human thing to do! We graciously accept this most honorable mission! We shall all behave as humans! And complete this mission perfectly! After all, we are exemplary, model humans! So carrying out tasks in a human manner... is our forte! Forte! They’re quite enthusiastic. This is a good opportunity too, so maybe I should do something king-like? You three. Yes! Please give us your commands, my king! It’s a little early, but I’ll grant you a reward for protecting these two and following their orders. A reward?! Yeah. I’ll grant you names. Human names. You would give us human names?! Ichiro. Jiro. Saburo. You may go by those names from now on. Oh! Oh! In this world, units have individuality, unlike in the game. They’re obsessed with humans too. So acknowledging that individuality will likely... Ichiro! Let us honor this blessing of names by completing our mission perfectly! Indeed, Jiro! That would truly be a human thing to do! Do not forget about me, Saburo! Or me either! Did I go too far? Perhaps. W-What do you think, Caria? Are you okay? Y-Yes. Um, we’ll do our best. If you’re ever in trouble, please feel free to ask me anything. T-Thank you, Atou. Human! Human! Human! Human! I’m done with this! There’s too much work to be done as mayor! And here I thought I finally managed to snag a life of freedom from that stiff, prim and proper elven nation! I thought I’d fall in love with a handsome man and live happily ever after with him while building a happy family! This whole world can perish! Right now! With all of its couples! What do you mean, I’m supposed to work with the forces of darkness to protect the city?! I’ve never even heard of this Mynoghra! Excuse me, Mayor Antik. What?! Oh. What did you need? Oh, well... There are some people who wish to meet you, Mayor. Huh? Visitors? Do they have an appointment? They do not. That so? Then send them away. My time is more precious than gold. Anyone who interrupts me should die! H-However, Mayor... What?! They say they’re emissaries from Mynoghra. Start with that! That makes this the highest priority! Welcome to Dragontan. I’m Antelise Antik, and I serve as its mayor. Wh-What’s with this aura? Why did the Staff Holders join forces with these things? Are they idiots? I’m grateful that you traveled all this way to visit. I’m Caria Elfuur of Mynoghra. This is my big sis, Maria Elfuur. I’m her big sis! Well, well, how polite of you. Dark Elves... I had been told that Mynoghra had welcomed them in as citizens, but I wonder what kind of people these girls are? The three behind them warrant caution. Long ago, I heard about Dark Elf assassins... Um? Oh, I’m sorry for staring! I wish I could have welcomed you properly, but your visit was so sudden... No, that’s fine. Yeah, yeah. I appreciate that. What are these children doing as emissaries? It feels like there’s something more to these sisters... Hmm? Elfuur? Didn’t Lady Tonukapoli mention something? There was a pair of sisters named Elfuur who the king is personally educating to become that nation’s future leaders. Geh?! W-What’s the matter?! Croak? These two are incredibly major figures! What are these children doing here?! If I mishandle them at all, it could become a major issue! Wh-What b-b-business brings you to our city? Uh! Well?! My lady, may I? Oh, yes. What is it, Jiro? Mayor Antik. Yes?! Our current visit is in response to the invitation from Master Pepe, the Staff Holder, to come and play. We are essentially students visiting to learn about life in another nation. O-Oh? That’s what this is? One could say this is but the first step to ensure a smooth exchange in the future, so please understand that this is merely a greeting. A greeting? Yes. These young ladies are still young and learning. We would appreciate it if we could avoid official talks. Is that so? So you’re not visiting to negotiate any agreements, then! We are not. If you would, kindly consider us simple tourists... Isn’t that right, young ladies? That’s right! That’s right! Yeah, yeah! Thank goodness! It’s just a meet and greet! Though I’ll need to be careful not to offend these girls. In that case, please feel free to take in the sights of our city! If you’d like, I could show you around. Really?! You’d show us around, Mayor?! Yes! I’m very familiar with every corner of this city, after all. I need to get along with these girls and ensure they leave with a good impression! It’s crucial for future negotiations to go well! Shall we get going, then? Yes! I get to ditch work! We have many different goods available. Over here too. The food at this stall isn’t very good, so I wouldn’t. Let’s go! Perky boobies. Thank goodness. It looks like it’s going well. King Takuto! Your hands aren’t moving. Sorry, sorry. Farewell, then! Miss Antelise is a kind person. Now, let’s review today’s investigation. Big Sis, how did it seem to you? Anxious. "I have no food." "The enemies outside are scary." "No one’s coming to save us." "What are we going to do?" That’s awfully specific. Big Sis is sensitive to the emotions of others, so she can get a vague idea of how they feel. Oh! To have such a power! I see! So that’s why she wanted this. What is that? Something my lady Maria asked me to buy for her while we were going through the city this afternoon. I got it in secret! Grass? Is this Popil Grass? It has its nuts too. You’re familiar with this, Lady Caria? It’s a plant that can cause powerful euphoria and hallucinations. Nearly every nation has banned its use, possession, and cultivation. Ah, a narcotic? That’s no good, young lady. Go throw that away. Toss! It’s in good shape and too free of bug holes to be a wild plant. It was probably grown by someone. And that’s circulating the markets of Dragontan? That’s dangerous business. Let’s go! All when Miss Antelise is working so hard too... It sounds like we’ll need to be cautious, even when we’re sightseeing. Yes, Saburo. Make sure to protect the young ladies! I would like to avoid any conflicts... But humans love conflict. Wh-What?! It’s cold. Young ladies, this is the Dragon Vein Mine. It has been cleverly concealed with the soil, but it seems they couldn’t hide it all. It’s pretty. Caria, Maria. This world is filled with lots of pretty things and places that you don’t know about yet. The Popil Grass grows well in this place. Please forgive me for imposing, emissaries of Mynoghra. I run a business here in the city. My name is Vesta Kurklain. Thank you for the introduction. So what did you wish to discuss with us? I’m a merchant, so of course, I’d like to discuss business. I’ve heard that this land will be jointly contrlled by your nation. So, how about it? Would you be willing to cultivate Popil Grass here with me? What’s the benefit for Mynoghra? What should I report to our king? Popil Grass fetches a high price. You would be given a portion of those earnings. Of course, I’d prepare other offerings as well. Other offerings... like what? This isn’t a good place to discuss that further. Please come to this location after sundown today. We’ll go into details there. It’s nice dealing with people who are evil-aligned. You’re always quick to understand. The current mayor is so inflexible that it makes things difficult. I’m sure your king would be delighted as well. Now then, I’ll be waiting for you. Time sure flew by, didn’t it? Yes. You’ve really taken good care of us, Miss Antelise. Yeah, yeah! It’s fine, it’s fine. I got to network with you two, after all. We’re not all that important, but I do hope you’ll rely on us if you ever need anything. My, how reassuring to hear! In that case, please make sure you present me in the best light to Mynoghra’s king! Of course! Exciting! Pardon me. Vesta?! Who gave you permission to be here?! Now, now, Mayor. I received permission from the staff. Right? Why you... Now then, young ladies, may I have your response to my previous offer? Huh? You mean the proposal to grow Popil Grass together? Yes. You never stopped by, so I came to hear your reply in person. You’re kidding! These children made a deal with Vesta behind my back?! If the forces of darkness join hands with scum like him, then this city’s finished... What’s the matter? Huh? There’s no way we would work with someone like you. I thought you would understand that when we didn’t show up to respond. That’s quite the protest. Miss Antelise, would it be an issue if we took care of these men? If I acted out of turn and caused a rift between our nations, I wouldn’t be able to face our king. S-Sure! We wouldn’t mind that! Have at them as you please! These guys have been making a mess of my city! Teach them a lesson! How unfortunate, young lady. What’s that? It’s probably a concentrate of Popil Grass extract. I bet a single injection of that will make a person unable to live without it. What?! Do you understand what you’re doing? If you try to lay a hand on us, then you’ll be making an enemy out of Mynoghra. Do you understand how foolish that is? We may be powerless children, but King Ira Takuto, the man who ordered us on this mission, is an incredible king. I’ll be fine. One injection of this and you ladies will follow my commands. After that, I’m sure this perverted pedophile, Ira Takuto, will do as I say without complaint. Huh?! I never thought that unit would prove so useful in this world. Yes, that’s so true. Um, may I ask a question? Why did you send the Medics as their guards? You could have sent our Warriors, right? They absolutely love humans, including closely related demi-humans. Sorry? Because of that, they have some rather unique abilities as a unit. They excel... Both at healing humans and killing them. They love humans, but couldn’t quite become humans themselves. That’s what our Brain Eaters are. How magnificent, Saburo! Yes! Such foolish adherence to their own selfish desires! How truly human! This means that if we peel off their skin and wear it ourselves, then...! We’ll become even closer to being true humans! Wh-What are you people?! Humans! There, there. Don’t be afraid. Please get him already. H-Hold on! You’re all crooks like me, aren’t you?! Please don’t group us together. You have insulted our king. That is the most unforgivable thing you could’ve done. Wh-What? I will not show mercy to Mynoghra’s enemies. I will not show mercy to anyone who harms my big sis. And I will never show mercy to anyone who insults our king. Our king taught us this: Evil people are free to do anything. So with that freedom and approval of our king, I command you- S-Stop! Please kill him! Kill him! As you command! What do you think, young ladies? So human! Human! Miss Antelise... Um, I’m sorry. For making such a mess of your room. Huh? They got carried away. We never thought those birdbrains would go this far. What would you like us to do about the cleaning bill or the cost of new clothes? Th-That’s... not an issue. Don’t worry about it. Thank you so much, Miss Antelise! Oh, this girl... doesn’t think anything of this gruesome scene. Oh my?! The mayor has wet herself! Heavens! We need to show her human thoughtfulness! In which case, let us pee ourselves too! We mustn’t allow the mayor to bear such shame alone! Peeing! Cut it out already, you birdbrains! Human! You can’t go doing that! Are you trying to shame Miss Antelise even further, you birdbrains?! That’s right! You birdbrains are oddballs to the core! Human! But... Messed up. ▶ [Erai-raws] Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra - 09 [1080p CR WEB-DL AVC AAC][MultiSub][0AEA2FB3] King Takuto! Why did you allow those two so much freedom?! You were watching them, weren’t you?! Yes. You stopped doing your work just to them with your shared perception, didn’t you?! Yes. You even had plenty of time to warn them with your telepathy, didn’t you?! Well, um... I didn’t want to be too hard on them and make them hate me. They’re both at an impressionable age. Are you their father?! Are you the kind of father who leaves all the annoying lecturing to their mother so you can look good to your children?! And you two! What were you even thinking, conspiring with King Takuto to cover it up?! It’s too late to hide it! Now, you three! Yes?! I hear you actually skinned a person before their mayor’s eyes. We grew one step closer to being human! So human! We obtained a very human skin! Be quiet! I guess the Brain Eaters were a bad influence on them. These two! They eagerly gave these bird brains the orders to do it! My kids are becoming delinquents... I sent them off with extra warnings to adhere to at least the minimum manners. And this is the result! None of you are to move from this spot until you finish your reflection statements! Okay. Now then! Let’s begin the meeting about what to do about Dragontan! I’ll give you some candy. Thank you, my king! Yay! You three! Do you regret what you did at all?! L-Lady Atou, that’s enough. I understand how you feel, but I think moving the meeting along is more important. My goodness, this is all because we didn’t teach those twins well enough. Well... Fine. It’s true that I’m not being as calm as usual. The Dragontan issue does come first. In that case, Elfuur sisters, may we assume your investigation was exactly as described in this report? Yes. We had our king look over it too, so that should be accurate. Hmm. It would seem the city is rather unsettled then. They lack the resources to maintain order, and it seems crime is on the rise. They would likely have face some manner of disturbance sooner or later. On top of that, they’re also facing external attacks from Barbarians. When it rains, it pours. According to this report, they’re facing Goblins, Orcs, and occasionally Hill Giants. Goblins and Orcs aren’t a problem, but losses are unavoidable against Hill Giants. They suddenly appear in groups near the city, steadily increasing by a handful or so every day. What do you mean by "suddenly appear"? It’s probably a result of their impaired ability to detect enemies. Beastmen generally have sharp senses that allow them to quickly detect the approach of enemies, but they’re likely exhausted. Either way, if nothing is done, then it’s only a matter of time before Dragontan falls. I think we should dispatch a large force as soon as possible. I believe our Head Warrior is right on this, but I don’t agree with splitting up our forces. If we send our immediate reserves to aid in defense, then it will strain our construction and farming. In that case, couldn’t we send most of our Warriors? Oh, by the way, I’ll be participating as well, so please keep that in mind. Huh?! I see. Because of your ability to steal skills. Yes, I should be able to steal some useful skills, even from weaklings like these Barbarians. Isn’t that right, King Takuto? Yeah. It’s a good opportunity to improve your strength, so I was planning to have you join them the moment we decided to send troops. In that case, you’ll need a retinue. Please leave that to me. I’m certain I can entrust you with the troublesome negotiations and coordination, but I think we’ll still need a few more men. I’ll bring my apprentices with me. They can handle mundane tasks, but they can also easily defeat Goblins in combat with their magic. Understood. I’ll be counting on you, then. In that case, our Warriors will focus on national defense. Honestly, I’m still a little concerned . Our national defense has relied on Atou’s presence so far. I can’t deny that. To deal with that... We’ll be making the Hero, Isla, the cornerstone of our defense. Oh! We’re nearly finished with production, aren’t we? What perfect timing. Truly a great display of our king’s foresight! You anticipated a situation like this from the moment we began production, didn’t you?! Our king possesses the power to see the future! It’s true this was perfect timing, but it just happened to work out that way. Still... Sometimes, pretending to be almighty is necessary too. Our great king is impressive! Clap, clap, clap! King Takuto, what do you think? Please feel free to comment. I made the right call allowing the Dark Elves to participate in our meetings. This is nothing like when I had to think of everything alone. So long as I’m managing a real civilization, their contributions are vital. Hmm, it’s perfect. It’s a great strategy. Please keep it up. To receive your praise is our greatest delight! I swear to live up to your expectations, my king! Please count on me! Hip, hip, hooray! Saying a few words at the end improved their motivation. Unlike in the game, it’s the role of the leader to draw out their potential. It’s a difficult task, but incredibly rewarding. A new Hero is finally going to be born! Oh, how I’ve long awaited this day! We were forced to ration quite a bit to secure the resources for this, but now that will all pay off. We’ll get to eat our fill! My king, what kind of person is the Hero you’ll be summoning? That’s a surprise to look forward to. Atou, what do you think will happen to Isla? She’s the first Hero we’re summoning since coming to this world. I can’t even begin to predict what will happen. I think it’ll probably be fine though. On the off-chance that she does try to revolt against you, I’ll protect you with my life. I’m able to face this critical moment because you’re with me and willing to go that far. But I wouldn’t be able to resummon you if I lose you, so please don’t sacrifice yourself. King Takuto always prepares for even the slightest risk, but frankly, I think the chances of that are slim. There won’t be any issues. Isn’t that right, Isla? Oh great and mighty king, you do me a great honor by granting me this audience with you here in this place. I am Isla, the one who rules all manner of bugs, and my body is quivering with true joy at the prospect of serving you once more. Isla... It’s been a long time! Do you recognize me? Oh my! Oh my! I see. So that’s what’s going on! Of course I remember you, King Ira Takuto! Allow me to ask to be certain, Isla. Do you truly mean your promise to serve him? Oh my. Silly little Atou! You’re so cute, acting all tough! A-Answer the question! Of course I do. The days I’ve spent with King Takuto have been etched into this body! So you remember me! Yes. You were the only one able to fully draw out my power, after all. I would never forget you. And you were always King Takuto’s most favorite, little Atou! I-I get it, so enough already! By the way, Master, would you be kind enough to explain the current situation to me? Of course. We’ll talk in the palace. I see. So that’s what’s going on. Frankly, there’s tons that I don’t understand, but thanks to Atou, I’ve managed to get this far. Oh, please. It’s only because you were here with me, King Takuto... If I were here by myself, I would have committed suicide. Atou... King Takuto... Oh my. I shouldn’t be watching this. Regardless, I understand our strategy. I’ll protect our peaceful nation in these strange lands. That is the duty you’ve entrusted to me. Yeah. You’re our defense Hero, after all. In which case, our attack Hero will be the one to destroy the Barbarians in the city of Dragontan. Sending me is the best call, but I’ll miss you while I’m out doing it. I’ll miss you too, Atou. But you’re the only one I can ask to handle it. Honestly, I’m real worried. I don’t know if I’ll be able to talk to the Dark Elves without you. We’ve always been together since we came to this world, and now we’ll be apart... King Takuto! Atou! I shouldn’t be watching this. I’m heading out! I promise I’ll come back! Yeah. I’ll be waiting for you. She’s gone. Well then, I suppose I should be getting to work now. I’m counting on you, Isla. I’m raring to go! I’ll do my part so you can enjoy this new game, my great King Ira Takuto! Leave all the details to me! King Takuto, you really can’t do anything on your own, can you? The sun has been up for a while now. I can’t believe you still weren’t up at this hour. What have you been doing up until now? The king always slept in until noon. On days he wasn’t up by noon, either we came to wake him or Atou did. What a big child you’re being. But... No more buts, King Takuto! You are the leader of the great Mynoghra, the King of Ruin! How do you think others will see you if you’re sleeping in until noon and having women come wake you up? Make sure you get up in the morning from now on. I’ll do my best. You’re completely different from Atou. She always lets our king do as he pleases. That reminds me! King Takuto, could I kindly borrow little Caria and Maria for a bit? I don’t mind, but why? I’m not very familiar with Mynoghra’s main facilities yet, so I was hoping to ask them to show me around. So she wants to get a look in person instead of just reading a map to get a solid picture of our national defenses? Yeah, all right. Could I ask that of you two? You can! I’ll graciously accept it. Thank you so much, you two. You’re very good girls, aren’t you? Master, your people will be coming to seek your approval soon, so please look sharp. R-Roger that. Pardon me! Well, we’ll be going now. Going! Yes. I wanted to ask for you to look over the revised assignment of our labor and grant your approval. This might be the first time I’m talking to someone other than Atou alone... Umm, are there any shortcomings in my proposal? No, no, no! It’s all right! I think you’ve done well! Really?! Thank you so much! Yeah, this is good. But starting next week, reduce the manpower assigned to gathering and redirect it. Oh! We’re adjusting how much we gather now that we’re finished summoning the Hero! I’ll be sure to do that! Phew... There’s nowhere to run in a one-on-one conversation... Pardon me! I’ve come to get your approval on the training plan for our Warriors! This is incredibly tiring, but I’ll do my best. Now, would you please be so kind as to tell me everything you know about our facilities? Everything! That’s the government office. It’s where the people file paperwork and reports get written. Nice and orderly. I love that. Oh my, little Emle? You seem busy. Are you all right? Can you believe it? Gia broke our training equipment again! The rate he burns through it is absurd! I’m at my limit trying to scrape together the budget! I’m already insanely busy with Moltar gone too, and he just had to give me more damn work! I’ll give you head pats, so no more filthy language, okay? Ahh, so comforting... And I’ll give our Head Warrior a scolding later. Thank you so much. Also, when you have some time, could I please ask for your advice on our next Building? Yes, if you’re happy with my help. Put your heart into it! Do you think you can protect our king with such sloppy form?! I’m going to retrain you all up from scratch! Before you go retraining them, you should recount your stock of equipment. I-I’m sorry! When I get heated up over my training, I just... Forgetting yourself so quickly is proof that you’re still a child. If you want to protect our king, you need to cultivate a cool head too. Ah, please stop that, Lady Isla... You’re hurting my authority as Head Warrior... Head pats look so nice. Oh my, what’s that sound? Dinner! Let’s all go together, Isla. They’re distributing food, I see. Yes. This is less wasteful than having everyone make their own. I’ll go line up! Lady Isla! If you’ll be eating, then please use these! We went and borrowed the dishware for visiting emissaries. I’m very happy for your consideration, but I’ll use the same dishware you all are. N-No way! That would be disrespectful! I’m a defense Hero. Protecting this nation means protecting its people. I can only fulfill my duty when I’m able to share the perspective and sentiments of our people. What is it, Big Sis? I wonder where those cute twins ran off to? Here! We’re giving it to you! A plate? Oh my! We want you to use it. It’s a special plate that’s the same as everyone else’s! My! My, my! What adorable little girls you are! We finally got you to give us head pats too. We were feeling a little jealous of everyone else. I bet eating from such a lovely dish will be a fantastic treat. I promise to treasure it my whole life. If we were to grow Living Reeds on the border here, we’d have flawless defenses against intruders. Oh, my, my. What’s the matter? It’s well past your bedtime. I woke up. I couldn’t sleep. I see. You too, Maria? Caria was having a bad dream. You’re such a kind big sister, caring for your little sister. Would you like to tell me why you can’t sleep? We have these dreams. Dreams of fun times. Dreams of our mother. I know that we have to move on. But the scenes in our dreams are so warm and comforting. Then we wake up and remember that it’s all gone, and it hurts so much. So whenever one of us is crying from our dreams, the other wakes to be with her. So that’s why. But it’s okay. We have those dreams much less frequently than we used to. Tonight was the first time in a long while. We’re sorry for worrying you. We’ll go back to sleep in a bit. I just had a great idea! Why don’t I sleep with you two from now on? Huh? Uh... Then when you wake up, you’ll at least have me there with you. I’ll always be here for you two. I promise. So warm. Just like those times... So rest easy. Now, come sleep in your Isla’s arms. After discussing matters with little Emle, I’m recommending the Learning Institute as our next Building. That sounds good to me. It’s one we can’t do without anyways, so we’ll plan to build the Living Reeds after that. Yes. The Forest gives the Dark Elves an advantage, and Cursed Terrain gives all evil beings an advantage. Plus, I’m here, so we should be good for a while. It’s not like we’re actively at war right now either. So there’s no need to hasten strengthening our defenses. By the way, something little Caria said helped me make up my mind. What was that? Oh, it just made my heart flutter! I want to learn a lot more so I can be more useful to our king. That’s what she said. That reminds me, Master. What’s going on with little Atou now? It looks like she’s in a pretty amusing situation. ▶ [Erai-raws] Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra - 10 [1080p CR WEB-DL AVC AAC][MultiSub][F7961841] Oh great and mighty king, you do me a great honor by granting me this audience with you here in this place. Now, would you please be so kind as to tell me everything you know about our facilities? We want you to use it. It’s a special plate that’s the same as everyone else’s! We have these dreams. Dreams of fun times. Dreams of our mother. Then we wake up and remember that it’s all gone, and it hurts so much. I just had a great idea! Why don’t I sleep with you two from now on? I’ll always be here for you two. So rest easy. Now, come sleep in your Isla’s arms. What’s going on with little Atou now? It looks like she’s in a pretty amusing situation. Yes, yes, good hunting. I’m finished. Th-Thank you! Thank you so much! Um, Mayor Antelise? Y-Yes?! What is it?! Oh, that reminds me, I became good friends with the Elfuur sisters from your nation! Err, not that there’s any reason to tell you that right now! P-Perhaps you should rest a bit? You can leave matters here to me. I-In that case! I’ll gladly do that! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! King Takuto... I want to go home to Mynoghra already... Here you go. Thank you. We’ve really integrated well with these people. I thought they would be more fearful of us, but I suppose we have Sir Pepe to thank. Wow! You’re like an octopus! Octopus? Octopus? It’s kind of octopus-like. She’s an octopus! Excuse me! That’s not- That’s so reassuring! Atou, I’ll be entrusting Dragontan to you! Since I have to return to Crescent Moon! Later! Hey! Pepe?! Why was he calling me an octopus? Well, refuting it is too much trouble, so I don’t care anymore... But really, an octopus? By the way, Lady Atou. What is it? How goes your plundering of abilities from those Barbarians? Oh, that’s proceeding smoothly. Despite being weaklings, that lot has better abilities than they deserve. Well, well, I’m sure our king will be delighted to hear that. Yes! Yes! King Takuto already praised me for it! And when I get home, I’ll have him praise me even more! That’s a Hill Giant, isn’t it? Moltar? There were no signs of magic. I didn’t even sense the use of Mana. I’d like to uncover the trick behind these sudden appearances soon. As things stand now, I’ll never be able to return to King Takuto. Indeed. Atou! There’s a Hill Giant! I have the archers preparing quickly- There’s no need. I’ll be enough by myself. But then- Atou?! You don’t need to worry about her against something that weak. That weak?! Lady Atou is a Hero. That said, just watching would be rather dull. Perhaps I’ll go put these old bones to work a bit too. Elder Moltar, what are you...? Land of Ruin! What was that?! Let’s just say it’s a national secret. Elder Moltar, huh? What a clever move. Good afternoon. Die. These Holy Sword Arts really are handy. Huh?! Gold coins? Yes. When I defeated the Hill Giant just now, its corpse disappeared, and in its place... Its corpse disappeared? Yes. I asked Elder Moltar as well, but he said this was a first for him too. He even said that he had never seen the gold coins before either. Atou, I’ll use Shared Perception. I want to check something. This crest... Where have I...? Brave Questus! Master? Our enemy is an RPG! How awful. Damn Witch! How many cities does she intend to destroy?! There might be survivors. Let’s search for them. Roger tha-! Rattle, roll, rattle, roll. Life is all just killing time. We die and die and die, so let’s have fun dying again! Hey there, Sainty! Nice to meet you, and long time no see! You doing well? The Slurping Witch, Erakino. We’ve executed divine judgment upon you seventeen times already, and they all succeeded thanks to our sacrifices. So why won’t you just die? Well, I am dying! You’ve killed me seventeen times, right?! So I’ve died seventeen times! Uh-huh! Then how are you still here? I wonder how, too! I mean, aren’t you a bit too strong, Sainty? I’m rather on the strong side myself, despite how I may look, you know? Yet you’ve killed me every time. I’m starting to wonder if you’re a death flag for me. Why do I need over fourteen every time? You’re trying to accomplish something, aren’t you, Erakino? I still don’t know what that might be yet. However, that power has something to do with your resurrections, doesn’t it? This is the problem with a goody-two-shoes. Oh well! Come on, all of my simps! It’s your turn! What an atrocity. Go on! Charge! You’re sentenced to a blooming burial! No way! You really are too strong, Sainty. This game’s too hard. Slump. The eighteenth time. This should at least buy us some time for a while. Holy God Arlos, what is going on here? Where did such a huge army come from?! M-Messengers! Hurry up and inform Mayor Antelise! Our enemy is the orthodox JRPG Brave Questus. You play as the Hero and go on an adventure with your party to defeat the final boss, the Demon Lord, and save the world. It’s a famous game that’s said to be the progenitor of most PC RPGs. An RPG? Then you mean the reason they suddenly appeared was- Yeah. Because there’s no warning for the random encounters with enemies in Brave Questus. I’m thinking they took advantage of that. I had feared there might be other beings similar to us, but I never expected they’d come from an entirely different genre of game. The odds were likely enough. "Witches." That information we gained from that paladin revealed the name of a unit that was never part of Eternal Nations. Still, Master, you’ve played Brave Questus before, right? So that means you already know how we can conquer our enemy. Exactly. Atou, can you hear me? Of course, King Takuto! I’m going to tell you how to conquer our enemy now. Yes! Go forth and conquer. Flamin, did the Demon Lord issue any orders? Yeah, he did, Ice Rock! Same as always. Nothing new! I see. All the monsters, all the tactics! They’re all free for us to command as we please! What?! Such faith in us must be rewarded! We have been most fortunate though. After we were suddenly summoned to this land, all of its Orcs and Goblins have joined our Demon Lord’s forces. The world may be different, but our Demon Lord’s majesty hasn’t waned! Yes, as expected from our great ruler. He’s truly the one fit to govern this world. What’s wrong? If I may ask a foolish question, what happened to our ambitions for the world we came from? None of that even matters, does it, Ice Rock? Our priority right now is carrying out the Demon Lord’s orders, right? Indeed. Forgive me. All forces, charge! We’ll wipe out that city and offer the despair and suffering of its people up to our Demon Lord! What will you be doing? I’ll pass. You can have the honor of leading them. I see. Many thanks! Well, now... Time for me to go, so I can see to my own goals. Crush them in one fell swoop! What?! What happened?! We believe it was our enemy’s spell! A spell?! Impossible! Such a large-scale spell doesn’t exist! I find it hard to believe as well, but... The Orcs and Goblins are suffering, while pure Demons like us are gaining strength? Is this spell the work of someone aligned with evil forces? Sir Ice Rock, we believe this spell is the work of the Hero. Silence! Do not speak that name! The Hero? Oh? So you all really are from an RPG. Why, you! Who are you?! The warrior of ice? Then you must be Ice Rock, one of the Four Generals? How do you know my name?! Answer me, wench! Who are you?! I come from the 4X strategy game, Eternal Nations. I serve our great and mighty king, King Ira Takuto, and I am known as Sludge Atou. I am the one who will slaughter you all! Bring out every arrow we have! Evacuate the citizens to the northwestern blocks! Once we’ve secured an escape route, we’ll abandon the city! There’s no need for you to go that far. Elder Moltar! You have us here on your side. We’re facing a huge army! They’re in disarray from your spell right now, but that’s just stalling them! Our current forces can’t hope to repel them! Huh? That would be Lady Atou. Atou did that? Yes. That woman is the proud Hero of Mynoghra. Now that she’s taken to the battlefield, there’s no chance of defeat. I’m certain she’ll claim the head of our enemy’s general. Without their general, such an army is but a mob of riffraff. We can neutralize them easily enough with our current forces. So this... is Mynoghra? Why, you! It’s just as King Takuto predicted. Their attack range? Yeah. Battles in RPGs are between parties of small numbers. But in our 4X strategy game, combat is on the scale of armies. So a unit’s attacks target the entirety of an enemy’s army. This difference should work greatly to our advantage. It doesn’t matter that you’ll be facing a large army. Atou, they’re no match for you! Why do you interfere?! You are evil as well! You should be bowing before our Demon Lord and join us in spreading his reign to the world! What? Spread his reign to the world? Oh, you’re talking about world conquest, right? Yes! We seek to create a world for us Demons! One without humans! What would be the point of doing that? It’s already rough enough with the mountain of work I have to handle now. And that’s just for a normal nation. Yet you want the world? Do you love doing paperwork that much? Paper...? Huh? You don’t understand? Oh, I get it. Your character background wasn’t very fleshed out, was it? No one cares about an RPG’s mid-boss once they’re defeated after all. Ahr...? What have you been blathering about?! Oh? You should remember that part, shouldn’t you? You’ve been defeated over and over and over again, haven’t you? By the Hero? Silence! Silence! Silence! I knew it! You do remember it, just like we do. By the way, I’d like you to tell me something. How does it feel to exist solely to be defeated? No! No! No! No! You still continue to deny it?! How laughable! My name is! Ice Rock, the Frost General! I am the one who crushes all who oppose our great and mighty ruler! All who defy the Demon Lord! Ha! The Demon Lord?! The world has only one king- our King Ira Takuto! Come at me! Unleash whatever you believe is your strongest attack, and suffer pathetic defeat! Take this! Glacial Decapitation! Fool. There’s no way such a broadcasted strike would hit. Impossible! There’s no way so little ice would halt my movement! Did you see that? That was my most powerful strike! To think that’s not enough to defeat you... Die! Long live... the Demon Lord... What a shameful mess! I’m supposed to be King Takuto’s hero! And what was that?! That attack at the end?! That was just impossible! Huh? Huh? Guaranteed to hit? That’s cheating! So this is what it means to fight a different genre of game. The enemies are operating under different mechanics than we are. How troublesome. Either way, it’s time to report! King Takuto, I’m finished! The enemy was one of the Four Generals, and while I took a slight blow, I finished him off proper- Huh?! There’s an enemy in Mynoghra?! ▶ [Erai-raws] Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra - 11 [1080p CR WEB-DL AVC AAC][MultiSub][456B24FB] Long live... the Demon Lord... What a shameful mess! I’m supposed to be King Takuto’s hero! Either way, it’s time to report! King Takuto, I’m finished! The enemy was one of the Four Generals, and while I took a slight blow, I finished him off proper- Huh?! There’s an enemy in Mynoghra?! What a beautiful, wonderful land. All of this... My king! Enemy forces have entered the Accursed Lands! Yeah, I know. Please forgive me. Given the situation, I thought I should report to be sure. It’s all right. Our king has the power to know everything that happens within his domain. Our main forces, including Gia, are already on the move. We’ll be moving to the residential area as well, so you should make haste back to your post. Yes! Understood! My king... Are things bad? No, we’re fine. Master has me here, after all. There’s nothing to be worried about. It is a little unpleasant though. Yes. I didn’t think they would attack us here. What shall we do? There’s a chance that the enemy’s leader, this "Demon Lord," is another player like you, Master. So what if they are? It doesn’t matter if they’re a player or not. Peace between us would be difficult at this point. Atou’s already taken down one of their Four Generals too. We’ll crush them with our full might, Isla. As you command, my king. Now then, let’s launch our counterattack. Let’s confirm our forces. First, we have you, Isla. Yes. I will not bring shame to my title of Defense Hero. Next, we have the Dark Elf Warriors led by Gia. There aren’t many of them, but their morale is at its peak. We also have the Brain Eaters. We only have three of them, but they possess healing abilities. I believe they’ll prove reliable in this situation. Human! Lastly, we have the Larvae you’ve given birth to. I gave birth to Larvae intended for labor, but they should be able to fight to some degree. My presence here will supplement their abilities after all. Perhaps I should have anticipated this and birthed some Combat Larvae. There’s no point in thinking about that now. That’s right! Everyone is grateful to the Larvae! Uh-huh! Oh my, thank you girls. Let me give you a hug in thanks! My king. Emle? What is it? We’ve completed the evacuation of those who won’t join the battle. Good work. We’ll be heading there too, so we’ll join you there later. Understood. I’ll be waiting for you! Yeah. My king. Gia? I have a rough estimate on the number of enemies who entered the Accursed Lands. Both Emle and Gia are able to think for themselves and act without directions from me. This never would have happened in the game. I have reliable people working under me. My king? Oh, I’m sorry. So how many? I can see roughly a thousand enemies have invaded the Accursed Lands. In addition to Goblins and Orcs, I’ve also spotted some grotesque, unfamiliar creatures. You’ve done well. Thank you. Continue focusing on defending the area around our capital. I’ll deal with the enemies. Understood. A thousand enemies, huh? That’s certainly a lot. There’s probably one of the Four Generals too. This is looking to be a tough battle. However, O great and mighty king, you’ve already determined our strategy, haven’t you? Moments like these are precisely what our Mana Resources are for. We’re facing an RPG. It’s time to show them the strength of a 4X game. By which you mean creating Units with Emergency Production? Using that, you could easily overturn the difference in numbers. Being able to produce all the Units we want as long as we have Mana is an awfully advantageous mechanic for us. Isla. I’m granting you the entirety of Mynoghra’s Mana reserves. What? Raise your level as much as possible. Be sure to acquire the skills Predation and Parasitic Eggs. Then use that power to overrun... all of our enemies! My, my, my! What a mean and spiteful person you’re being! Entrusting me with everything during this crisis! I already have a general grasp of our foe’s power from the battle in Dragontan. Even if one of the Four Generals is there, you should be plenty capable of dealing with them now. Will you show me why you’re known as our Defense Hero? Yes, as you wish. Isla, Queen of Bugs, shall live up to your expectations and thoroughly defeat all of our foes for you. I’m sure you’ll be fine, but be wary of any attacks rooted in RPG mechanics. That reminds me. They did catch Atou off guard, didn’t they? I understand. I’ll be quite careful. Mother... Don’t give me that look. I’ll make sure I come home. I promised you, right? Yeah! We’ll take care of the king and wait for you! Please do. Yes! Now then, I’ll be heading out! Man, this is one creepy forest. Why did we have to split away from Sir Ice Rock and invade this place on our own? About that... Huh? There’s a good chance this operation doesn’t have the Demon Lord’s permission. Huh?! The boss might be planning to betray the Demon Lord. Seriously?! Why would he do that? Do you remember when we first came to this world? Yeah. One moment, we were all here in the same place. Right? Apparently, it was different for the boss and the Demon Lord. Hmm? Scouts? Wait! Something’s off. Wh-What’s happening to me? What happened to you?! I-I... Halt right there! What are these things?! Shit! Retreat! Fall back and regroup! Y-Yeah! My, my, how pathetic. Who’s there?! Retreating over just this? You all are part of the Demon Lord’s army, the forces of darkness, aren’t you? Where are you?! Show yourself! If you’re the forces of darkness, then you need to be more beautiful, ruthless, and thorough. Hmm... They’re not very nutritious, are they? I suppose I’d give them a thirty. I’m talking about your minions, you know? Uh-huh, that’s an awful thing to say about ’em. Introduce yourself, freak. I serve the kingdom of Mynoghra, governed by the great King of Ruin, King Ira Takuto. I am one of its Heroes, Isla, Queen of Bugs. And you are? One of the Demon Lord Army’s Four Generals, Flamin, the Flame Demon. The Four Generals! There really was one here! Huh? I thought there must be one of the leaders here with an army of this size. Just like Ice Rock was there in Dragontan. So what, that guy got taken out? Well, I ain’t surprised. He was just a muscle-head anyway. Oh my, he was one of your allies, wasn’t he? What an awful way to speak of him. He was always the weakest of us Four Generals. I’ve got a good two steps up on him. So if you’re thinking I’ll go down just as easily, you’re dead wrong. Well, well, you sound awfully confident in yourself. Yeah. It’ll be a cinch for me to murder you and drag that big shot behind you off his throne. What’d you call him again? King Ira Takuto, was it? That’s quite a bark for a piece of trash. Don’t get cocky, fly. So it’s started. Isla is currently engaged with the Flame Demon, Flamin. When you pit an RPG character against those from a 4X game, the 4X game characters are overwhelmingly stronger in combat. We’ve already confirmed that in the battle at Dragontan. It’s only a matter of time before she defeats him. The Larvae not participating in the fight against Flamin are patrolling the Accursed Lands and defeating the invaders. Gia and the Warriors are deployed in defensive formations around the capital. Emle is handling the Dark Elves who evacuated. The Brain Eaters are standing by close at hand. Everything’s going smoothly... at least in theory. Hmm... My king? What are you thinking about? I wonder what it is? Something is nagging at me... Hmm, is anything sticking out to you two? Damn, man! This is totally crazy! Didn’t know there were freaks like you in this world! Calling me a freaks is quite rude, you know. It’s certainly not a term you should be using with a woman. Don’t you agree? Cheeky bitch! It ain’t fair if you get to be the only one with pawns! Summoning them at no cost? Now that’s very much cheating. Might I ask you a question? Huh? We’re trying to kill each other here. Now, don’t be like that. My master wishes to know. Why did you attack us? Hey, now! What the hell?! You got no standards?! Splitting your forces away from Dragontan to attack us seems like a foolish strategy, doesn’t it? You want to know why?! Don’t you know? Or is your boss just hiding it from you all? Either way, I feel sorry for you, damn! Thank you for the warning. However, words like that aren’t going to shake my loyalty. I knew that already! And you? What do you think about yourself? I don’t quite understand the intent of your question. I take it you harbor doubts about your own state of being. Just answer the damn question! I am a Hero of Mynoghra, and the loyal servant of our king, King Ira Takuto. Nothing more, and nothing less. I hate that shit! Oh my, what do you hate so much about that? You call yourself his servant, but you’re so goddamn full of pride and conviction! Huh? That’s it. That’s why I’m so pissed off. It’s because you all are free. You serve your king of your own volition, and it’s your own choice to dedicate your loyalty to him. Hey, how’s that feel, anyway? Serving someone of your own free will? Ahh, so that’s what the issue is. "Blissful" sums it up nicely. Nothing brings me greater joy than proving useful to my master. So? What about you, Mister Puppet, forced to dance to the strings of the role imposed upon you? It feels shitty as hell! However! Once I kill you- kill all of you here- then I’ll obtain it too! I’ll get my freedom! I see. So that’s your intention then. Ah... How lovely! You’re quite charming right now! Can it, fly! Burn up and be gone already! Got you! Is that it? That’s the extent of your thirst for freedom? Don’t you dare mock me! That’s just not enough. If you truly want to kill me, you’ll need to prepare at least five times more. You’re out of MP, aren’t you? I have one final message for you from my master. He says, "You took us too lightly." Is that true? We’ll really obtain peace and freedom? If we offer up this world? Ah, in the end... I guess I’m nothing but a puppet? In that case... I’ll dance my part until the very end! Phew. Good work, Isla. Oh my, Master! If you’re speaking to me, then that means you were watching, weren’t you? Yeah, you were splendid. Thank you very much. I gained another level from this battle as well. I’m thinking of obtaining a new skill- Huh?! Huh?! What’s happening? Huh? Mother? What are you two doing here?! We don’t know! We were just with our king, s-so why? My children! Protect those girls! ▶ [Erai-raws] Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra - 12 [1080p CR WEB-DL AVC AAC][MultiSub][95C93527] Huh? Mother? What are you two doing here?! We don’t know! We were just with our king. H-How did we... They vanished? That shouldn’t be possible. Caria, can you hear me? Caria, Maria, Isla! Respond! Why not?! My children! Protect those girls! Wha?! Brain Eaters! If you can hear me, then come here right now! O great and mighty king! Our leader, Ira Takuto! Please respond to my voice! Is everything okay? What should we do? You needn’t worry. Let’s start by getting out of here. Huh? No way! Sucks for you! I ain’t going to die here! How?! I’m certain I killed you! You can’t kill me now. Hell, I’m already dead anyway! Auto-Defend? Event in progress? The events Brave Questus’ Flamin was involved in were... You thought you won, didn’t you? Fool! Be quiet! Mother... My, my, you’re such a worrywart. It’s all right. I won’t allow him to lay a hand on you two. How tear-jerking. Such heartwarming love. Don’t be so mad now. Let’s enjoy this time like the dumbasses we are. Wha?! I’ve been through this over and over like a fool. Always this same shitty script! What are you two doing?! Take cover behind me! H-Huh? It’s not us! How?! My legs are moving on their own! Stop! Please, get back! Can’t fight it, can you?! Can’t defy it, can you?! Is this one of those RPG mechanics Master warned me about?! Now you get a VIP seat to watch as those brats die right here! After the fight against Flamin in the Brave Questus RPG... Mother... Wh-What do we do?! H-Help us! Don’t you dare think you can fetter me with this! Struggling won’t help you! I’ll tell you something good though. I call this goddamned mechanic a "scripted event." I’m scared! No! I don’t want to die! It’s all right. I promise, I promise I’ll save you! Ahh, every last one of you are damn fools! You all mistakenly believe that you’re acting of your own damn volition! The Heroes! The Demon Lord! Everyone and everything! We’re all just pawns in a game, and none of you get how easily we’re thrown out! Hey! You’re out there somewhere listening, right?! "You can be free if you conquer the world," my ass! You deceived both me and the Demon Lord, dammit! You never planned on granting us that from the start! You’re just as bad! King Ira Takuto! You’re another Player too, aren’t you? I bet you thought, "I need to upgrade my gear once I defeat this boss," as you fought me too, didn’t you? Well, fuck you! I’m here, and I exist! So I’m going to kill your little favorites now in my greatest act of spite! Hold on a moment! Wait! Hell no! I hate the whole lot of you. Mother... Maria! Caria! Is this the spot? Yeah! You found a wonderful spot, Big Sis. You can really see all of our king’s nation from here. Our king said that his nation is also everyone’s nation! So it’s everyone’s nation! Then that means it’s our nation too. Yeah! And Mama Isla’s too! Uh-huh. Wow. Look, Caria! It’s so big and bright. The moon is pretty, isn’t it? It is, but...? Our king told me. When you say, "The moon is pretty, isn’t it?" it means "I love you." I’ve never heard of that before! Our king knows so much! I hadn’t heard of it before, either. Our king knows everything. That’s not fair! When did you get our king to teach you something so wonderful, Big Sis? Caria. The moon is pretty, isn’t it? Big Sis, the moon is pretty! Next time, we should bring Mama Isla with us too. Everyone’s nation looks so pretty from here. Then we can both tell her, "The moon is pretty, isn’t it?!" Yeah! Let’s do that! The night of the full moon would be best! So, on the next full moon! Yeah! We’ll keep it secret until then! That’s right, Big Sis! Huh? Huh? N-No! Mother! Mama Isla! A-Are you two okay? Mother! Mother! You stayed safe then. Thank goodness. Truly, thank- Mother, I’m worried about your injuries! W-We need to get you to the king and the birdbrains fast! My king! My king! My king! Why won’t you respond to me?! Humans! Where are you?! Hurry! Get here quick! There’s no need for treatment. I-I need you two to listen to what I’m about to say carefully. I’m sure you two already understand, but I won’t survive. So there’s something I wish to entrust to you two. No! We’ll be good girls! So... So don’t- T-There has to be some way to save you, Mother! I’m afraid there isn’t. It’s all because we were weak! It’s all because we thought we could find happiness! That’s why we’re being punished! Why?! Why does everyone always die?! We just wanted to live with our mother! Have we really done something bad enough to deserve this?! You two have done nothing wrong. I was simply too weak. Mother, let us die with you. I can’t stand this pain anymore. There’s no point in living anymore. Nothing good ever comes out of life. Please listen to my last words. Please forgive your mother for passing on before you. Now, this is my final request... Please eat me, and live on. No! No, no! Why?! Why must we do that again?! Master. Please forgive my selfish action. I used the experience I acquired to learn the skill "Royal Succession." Maria, Caria. I’m handing down all of my power to the two of you. Please live your lives as you wish, my precious daughters. I love you! Mother! You don’t need to come with me, you know. That’s not true. Our king ordered me to march alongside you and destroy the Demon Lord’s stronghold. I need to make haste back to King Takuto’s side! And yet this trash... What a pain. N-No way! Is something the matter?! Look out! Everyone, duck! Impossible! She was a Hero! One of Mynoghra’s Heroes! Lady Atou! Please quell your anger! I lost my composure. What happened? Isla was... No, that’s impossible! Flamin’s scripted event was famous, but that shouldn’t have been possible in this world! Atou. What’s going on, King Takuto?! Isla was defeated. She got caught in a death scene. That’s impossible?! Dammit! That attack! What a grave blunder! I failed to report a crucial detail! Isla’s defeat is an emergency. I’ll return to the capital at once. I know, but hold on. Why, my king?! Isla is dead. Unfortunately, that’s a fact. However, the twins have survived. Why are you bringing up the twins? They’re moving south toward the enemy’s stronghold. I imagine they’re planning to exact vengeance. But those girls can’t- Isla used Royal Succession to allow those two inherit her Hero status. We can’t afford to lose any more Hero Units at this point. My orders won’t reach them either, so I need you to retrieve them. If I may be so bold as to object, these RPG mechanics are a threat! I beg you to reconsider and grant me permission to protect you! I see. Even so, please go. Isla entrusted them to us. We can’t afford to expose you to danger over sentimentality! King Takuto, you’re my- Atou, this is an order. You’re the only one I can ask. As you command, my king. Thank you, Atou. I trust you. Lady Atou? You all are to return to the capital. I forgot something very important. King Takuto was the greatest player of Eternal Nations. I just need to have faith in him and obey. My king! We’ll soon be finished mopping up the survivors that entered our land. Shall we begin pursuing the others? All noncombatants will remain evacuated until tomorrow morning, at which point we’ll begin repairs on the damaged facilities. You don’t need to take action on your own. I’ll issue the necessary orders at the necessary time. Please forgive my rudeness! My sincerest apologies! What’s happened to our king? He almost feels like a different person right now... My, my, such a naughty girl! Did you come here knowing this was the defensive line of Lady Wind, the Tempest General of the Demon Lord’s Army? All by yourself, no less? How courageous. Why do we have to endure such suffering? Why do such awful things keep happening to us? Why is this world... so agonizing? Earth General, Old Mechanic! We’ve spotted an intruder. What shall we do? Ready our magitech. We’ll eliminate her. The world hates us! It absolutely hates us! What did you do?! I knew something awful would happen to us if we relied on anyone else. I knew I never should have let myself hope for anything. Wha?! The world hates me. Dammit! Rage forth, Cursed Black Wind! Huh? You’re kidding, right? My face! H-Help me! Error detected in the magictech. Earth mage squad, go eliminate the enemy. There’s a good chance we’re under attack, though the nature of the attack in unclear. This is an emergency. Mechanical Armor, switch to auto-combat! Do you believe in love? Because love exists! Wha?! Magitech, emergency forced start! Earth Mages! Go! This very world hates us, which is why we need love! We just eat and eat and the people we love force us to stay alive! Demon Lord! Please save me! When something’s scary, you can just forget all about it! Because once you forget everything else, only love remains! ▶ [Erai-raws] Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra - 13 [1080p CR WEB-DL AVC AAC][MultiSub][8380851C] To think such delicate children would be able to reach me. It seems fate dearly loves toying with me. Therefore, you two must die here. Once I destroy everything and offer up this world, I will obtain my freedom. That was the agreement I forged with God. I’d like to confirm one thing before we do battle. Do you two believe in the existence of God? No such thing exists. I know not how you managed to destroy my minions, but you will not even scratch me. My Dark Barrier prevents all physical and magic attacks. Only the Hero can negate it! What’s going on here? I was promised that a Hero didn’t exist in this world. You have no intention of conversing, do you? Come to think of it, the Hero I knew was also a silent man. Is it that odd for me to transform from the start? Many of my limitations have been lost in this world, so fighting you in stages like I did in the game would be uncouth. Defeating the two of you must be a trial imposed upon me. My intuition tells me I must not underestimate you. Now, blades, bring me their deaths! So pretty! Caria! Yes! Impudent! What absurdity! But that is what makes it a trial for me! I won’t be defeated! God is on my side. I will fulfill my agreement with God and obtain my peace and freedom. There is no God, you know? They don’t exist anywhere. If you believe that something will come to save you, then you’ll only face awful suffering later. We never should have believed that. We lost everything because we dared to believe that. I will not die! So long as my will remains, then I swear upon the name of God, I will not die! Oh! I knew God was watching over me! Now, listen! The name of the God that will grant me victory is... Who are you? Huh? Did I just screw up? Why have you interfered? Well, uh... you two were under attack, so I thought I’d save you? Did we look like we needed saving? Well, what do I say? It was an accident? Yeah, it was an accident! Believe me! Come on, those angry looks don’t belong on cute girls like you, right? Did you interfere to achieve some objective? Stop it! With the power you two have now, you’ll never beat me. This boy is weird. Everything he says sounds like a lie. But that doesn’t even matter. This boy defiled our battle. He ruined our atonement to Mother. That’s enough. Glacial Decapitation... Being guaranteed to hit is simply the result. Its true essence is halting all phenomena? I’m surprised it can force its way into actions already initiated. Urk, another girl? Our king has issued orders to return. You’ve accomplished your goal, haven’t you? Then- That boy interfered! I don’t think you understood me. I just conveyed our king’s orders. We don’t want you to get in our way. You little brat! Have you grown arrogant with power?! I can’t take the twins’ powers lightly. Though that’s not a problem. Using that technique prevents me from moving for a while, but I already confirmed I can move again first. So long as I don’t kill them, King Takuto will forgive me. We won’t let you interfere either, Atou. After all, our king already told us we can do anything. You’re free to do anything, and you don’t have to ask for forgiveness to do anything. So long as you behave in a way your mother would be proud of, then I’ll praise everything about you. My, my! What adorable little girls you are! So long as our mother would be proud... So rest easy. Now, come sleep in your Isla’s arms. What would our mother think? Caria, let’s stop now. Big Sis... Atou, we’re sorry. I’m sorry for saying such rude things. Given the current situation, I’ll pretend your outburst never happened if you’ll follow your orders. Sorry for butting in! Later! A student’s uniform? If he’s the kind of entity King Takuto predicted, then we just have to ignore him for now. Atou? Is it possible to bring Mama Isla... back to life? Unfortunately, Isla is dead. Yeah, got it. Everything should be fine now, but be careful on your way home. Understood. I’ll see you later. It’s over. The mechanics of a 4X strategy game were applied to this world. I thought that was a cheat exclusive to me. But now we’ve faced an enemy with a different cheat-the use of RPG mechanics. There are plenty of other genres of games out there too. Th-That was scary! What did they mean, "There are pretty, innocent girls in danger. I want you to go to rescue them right away." Stupid God! Master! Oh... Yes! It’s your slave girl... You weren’t hurt, right? I’m all right! God’s mysterious power is protecting me, after all! So, umm, I received a message for you. "Sorry!" they said. They’re making a fool out of me! For starters, that crazy god transferred me here on a wim! Well, that meant I got to meet you. Master! And they did give me OP powers, so I am grateful. Y-You’re incredible, Master! Good grief. I guess things don’t go as conveniently as they do in anime and novels. Well, still, I guess I’ll go save the world! Yes! My exclusive Master! Hey, hey! Nice to meet you, and long time no see! You doing well, Sainty? I’m finally going to uncover your secret today. Man, this is battle number nineteen, huh? I’ve made sure to bury her all eighteen times before. Even when I completely incinerated her corpse, and even when I cast seals on it, she came back to life like nothing happened. This calamity won’t end until I unravel her mystery. You’re so stiff! Why not be a little more chill? I’m simply here to eliminate evil in the name of God. Well, to be blunt, I’m going to get angry if I don’t win soon. So... Time to roll the dice again today. Uhh... Did I just crit? Hell yeah! Rolled a crit! This nineteenth iteration did it! After tweaking and tweaking my sheet, Erakino has finally become the strongest character! Master! Are you watching?! I did it! Praise me! Praise me! Oh? Sure! It’s a request from God, after all! Aye, sir! Aye, sir! My Game Master! Mynoghra, huh? Now, Erakino, time to get to work! As the Dice God wills! As the roll of the dice demands! Going forward, I might have to fight other enemies with other game mechanics. If we repeat our performance here this time, then we’ll be wiped out next time. My king! Please forgive me for coming to you directly, but the telepathy wasn’t reaching you! We’ve restored the guard around the Palace, so please return! Leave me alone. F-Forgive me! I’m being lousy. Because I got arrogant, I lost Isla and wound up betraying the twins’ trust. My naivety caused all of this. Dammit! Huh? No way, right? This isn’t a game I’m controlling from the outside. Since I’m part of this world, that means I’m a unit too, doesn’t it? How did I never notice that before? Why didn’t I test that from the start?! If I had known that, she wouldn’t have had to die! We’re holding an emergency meeting. First, I’d like to request the sentence for the Elfuur Sisters’ insubordination. Nothing. They won’t be charged with a crime. King Takuto! We wouldn’t be upholding this country’s laws! Especially in emergencies like this one, we can’t permit exceptions without reason- Emergencies, huh? I need to apologize to you all regarding that. I’m truly sorry. This was brought about by my arrogance and carelessness. P-Please stop! A king must never apologize! It’s all because we weren’t good enough! I also promise you this. I will bring Isla back to life. Y-You mean it? You can bring her back to life? Please hold on! I beg your pardon, but in our current situation, resurrecting our Heroes isn’t an option! "Their people shall be welcomed into the heavens, and they shall live for eternity in endless harmony at the pinnacle of happiness. There shall be no pain or suffering there, and the dead shall return to life to rejoin their loved ones once more." The Ascension Victory-the victory in which a civilization ascends to a higher plane. If this world is drawing on the mechanics of Eternal Nations, then I vow to seize that victory. To restore all we’ve lost. B-But the victory conditions are far too difficult! The Ascension Victory essentially means recreating the world itself! The moment others learn we’re aiming for that, the entire world will turn against us! That’s all right! What grounds do you have for concluding that?! Because we’ll just kill everyone who gets in our way. Emergency Production? Now, let’s go conquer the world! To be honest, I think this will be challenging for all of you! But I know that together, we can do this! Just be sure to listen to what I tell you from now on, okay? Modern weapons won’t be good enough on their own. If we want to achieve the Ascension Victory, I’ll need to devise an intricate strategy. I’ll have to manage every detail of my units’ actions myself. I should check on the state of our civilization once more. The Dark Elves are all gathered in one spot? What’s that? We’ll have Lady Isla watch over the future of our nation from here. Hero of Mynoghra, may you rest in peace. It’s not a grave. Mama Isla’s just going to be resting there for a while. Our king told us that he would bring Mother back to life. So I’m sure Mother will come back to life! Do you think we can achieve the results our king seeks from us? He was terrifying. Today, our king was far more terrifying than he was when I first spoke to him. I’m not sure we can keep up with our king’s plans... You’re all being big children. Only children get frightened, lose confidence, and become incapable of doing what they should be doing. Should I be giving you head pats? To think we’re being chastised by children! But they’re right. Growing timid like this is childish. Even our young ones don’t hesitate to serve our king. I once again vow to follow our king to the end, no matter how terrifying it may be, and even if the whole world turns against us. Our king has always put his trust in us and made good use of us. Now it’s our turn to trust our king. Even if it’s lacking, I’ll scrounge up what wisdom I can and devise strategies to offer to our king! Let’s go! Yes! I came close to choosing the most horrible strategy. It was thanks to everyone here with me, That we became this nation, distinct from the game. That we became Mynoghra. Our nation. I shut myself away after I was unable to find the words to say to King Takuto yesterday... But today, it’s different. No matter how King Takuto may change, my loyalty to him never will! My great and mighty king, King Ira Takuto! Your Sludge Atou is here! There, there. We want you to cheer up, my king. K-King Takuto?! I got so carried away yesterday that I frightened everyone... I-It’s all right! It’s all right! I shouldn’t have said it the way I did... Th-Then if you were to rephrase it now? If you were? I won’t let the people who place their trust in me suffer again. So let’s all work together to achieve the Ascension Victory! I’ll follow you wherever you may go. We’ll help! You can do it, my king! It’s something only I can do. As the top player of Eternal Nations, I’ll bring us victory out of these circumstances.

CR 2026-09-12 ▶ Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra- World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin S01E01.en-US Huh? What? What’s going on? Where am I? The air smells so fresh. Are you awake? Huh? Is that you, Atou? Yes, my king. The game I played in my sickbed was a 4X strategy game set in a dark fantasy world, Eternal Nations. The character I loved the most from that game I loved the most, was this woman: Atou. King. W-What should I do?! Should I act the part? If she’s calling me king, then I think she means the leader of Mynoghra... It’s all right, King Takuto. You’re the one who achieved the feat of clearing nightmare difficulty! All while using the civilization said to be the most difficult to handle, the Civilization of Ruin, Mynoghra. You’re the legendary player proudly shining at the top of the official user rankings, Ira Takuto! Huh?! H-How?! I remember everything too. Everything you said to me, how we conquered the world together many times, how we hit a game over many times... I remember it all. So please don’t worry. I remember you, King Takuto. You... Using you was my play style. Maybe because I hoped I could become strong like you did. I’m so happy I can actually talk to you. Me too. Being to able to talk with you is an unexpected joy. Is this heaven? Did you summon me here? No. I found myself here in the blink of an eye. I’ve concluded that this isn’t quite heaven. If I had to say, it feels more... similar to the world of Eternal Nations. An unfamiliar world? Would it be cliché to call this a miracle? Still, I’m just so happy to finally meet you in person, King Takuto. King Takuto, shall we get started together once more? Huh? We don’t know where we are. Is this the world of Eternal Nations? Perhaps the world that you’re from? Maybe it’s an entirely different world. But just as we’ve done all those times before, let’s get started together. Let’s build a kingdom just for me and you! A kingdom... I have no idea what’s going on here. I don’t know even know where "here" is. But since we’re together, let’s do it again. Let’s recreate those bright days in this world. Atou. Yes, my king? Let’s build our civilization. A kingdom just for me and you! My name is Sludge Atou, the child born from the sludge that will destroy the world. From this moment on, my body and mind are yours to command. Now, let us sink as low as we can together, my king! Man, doing this is kind of embarrassing, huh? It was a little embarrassing for me too. Well then, my one and only subordinate, my confidante and right-hand woman! Our civilization is lauded as the most evil nation of all, while being finicky and hyper-specialized in domestic affairs, so you know what our Mynoghra must do first, right? Of course, my king! We’re becoming shut-ins! Let’s close ourselves off! Yeah! Emergency Production! Scout! Disgusting. So disgusting. Our Mynoghra is a mild-mannered civilization that governs evil and ruin. So we have to first keep that in mind as we take action. Meaning we want to avoid others discovering us as much as possible. That’s our iron-clad rule in the early game! That’s right! We need to gather information without being discovered by anyone. All right, Long-legged Bug! I’m giving you orders as a subordinate of the glorious Mynoghra! Go check out the area around us. Do not disappoint your great king, Ira Takuto, and see that you complete your mission. I was a little concerned, but it seems to be functioning as a proper unit under my command. Yeah. It seems I can share its vision to some extent too, just like in the game. That expended 100 Mana, so we have 100 left. Building a Settlement to serve as our initial base will consume 20 Mana. Emergency Production does have a high cost. We can’t afford to waste any more. Honestly, I wanted to produce a Warrior that could fight for us, but that wasn’t an option with our Mana. I’ll just fight hard if we face combat! Or so I would like to say, but... The Hero unit, Atou, will grow stronger as time passes, but your current Strength is 3. That means that right now, Mynoghra is in the incredibly risky position where any encounter with a powerful enemy could mean its complete destruction. The difficulty’s high. Please cheer up, my king. How is it going? Well. I’ve been able to grasp the surrounding terrain. Though it’s all forest. It hasn’t encountered any animals or monsters either. Forest Terrain is perfect for hiding in. Though it’s quite odd that there aren’t any animals. There isn’t anything to serve as food either, but I’ll keep scouting for a while. I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful. It’s fine. Just having you here with me is nice. M-My king! I’m incredibly moved right now! Y-Yeah? I’m glad. It was hard to tell in the game, but I guess this is what Atou’s personality is like? A community of Dark Elves? It’s not that far from here. I can see several gathered together. I suppose that means this is a fantasy world? Dark Elves tend to be neutral, but lean neutral evil, so that’s a bit of a relief. Do you think this is the world of Eternal Nations after all? If there’s another civilization’s Settlement, then that’s bad for us. We want to avoid war if possible, which is why we want to stay hidden at the start. Being neighbors to another civilization would be most troubling. It’d be a shitty starting position for sure. If that proves true, then let’s flee together. True. Mynoghra loves peace and harmony, after all. Yes. War is barbaric anyway. Clap, clap. First, let’s observe these Dark Elves while gathering more information on our surroundings. If we’re not in luck, then let’s run far away. It’ll be just us, fleeing together! As you wish, my king! Dark Elves?! There’s really nothing here? Head Warrior Gia, I think we should leave the Accursed Lands... What good would leaving the forest now do? We’ve been driven off of our land, and we have nowhere left to go. I can’t imagine our children will be able to last much longer. This place is so abundant with vegetation. There has to be food here. At the edge of Idoragya’s Uncharted Territory lies a vast, cursed forest- the Accursed Lands. It’s written in our books that something evil was sealed away in those lands. Whatever that is would never allow life to flourish. That’s just superstition, Emle. You can see how well the trees are growing here. Don’t give up. You can’t let yourself give up. Our proud spirit and the ghosts of our ancestors are sure to show us the way to overcome this hardship. Yes! It certainly is a creepy forest, though. "Something evil," huh? I can’t leave over a reason like that. My people are waiting for me. Those of us who can still move have to find food. This is bad! That creature’s no good! It’s the manifestation of evil! My actions could affect the fate of my entire tribe. I must be careful. I am a Dark Elf of the Mazaram Clan, the head warrior, Gia Nageeve! I see that you are a highly esteemed individual! So first, please allow me to apologize for entering your forest without permission! Good. It seems you have sufficient understanding of what it means to enter these lands, dark fae. So, what reason compelled you to commit such trespass? My clan of Dark Elves, the Mazaram Clan, once resided in the central lands of Idoragya. However, our former leaders, the highest authority of the elves, the Tetrarchy Council- I’m a little relieved they seem to understand me. Keep it brief. W-We were persecuted and driven from our lands. With nowhere else to go, we made our way here... Crap! It was a mistake to try and portray our circumstances in a better light! You’re emaciated, aren’t you? My king is speaking to you. Th-The persecution was intense, and we came to this land to escape it. We ran out of food along the way, and since we wanted to throw off our pursuers, we haven’t been able to secure more food. It’s been several days since we last ate anything. Why?! Why did we have to be put through all this suffering?! What did we ever do to deserve it?! All we wanted was a place to live in peace! Is our desire to live that great a crime?! This sweet fragrance... They’re yours. Are you familiar with apples? They’re delicious when you cut them in the shape of bunnies. Apples? No, they’re different from any fruit that I’m familiar with. What do I do? Would it be rude to sample one right here? Could I do that when our people are waiting for our return? It’s good! It’s incredibly sweet! And juicy too! I have pears too. Pears? You there. What’s the matter? My king is offering you his charity. There are others like me who have fled to this land. We have small children with us. The children-our children are starving. They haven’t eaten anything for days, and they’ve all grown very thin. This fruit that you have given us in your generous mercy... I would like to give it to our children instead of myself. Please. Poor things. King Takuto?! Dark Elves are scorned as beings who have fled from the light. They say we’re only permitted to live thanks to the mercy of the Elves, the Fae of Light. We were subjected to that contempt and forced to live in the shadows, away from the light. No one ever reached out to offer us a helping hand. It’s yours. It’s a miracle! With this much food...! Thank you so much! Who exactly are you? It’s yours. Come on, hang in there. Head Warrior Gia will surely find food for us. What is this scent? I have returned! I found food! Prepare the food! Thank goodness. Where did you manage to get this much food? I just happened to find it. You’ve done good work today. Elder Moltar. The fruit you’ve brought back with you is incredible. I’m confident that I’ve lived a long life, and even I’d never seen anything like it. Yeah. I sampled a little of it, and it’s exquisite. It’s my first time learning that such tasty fruit exists in this world. Did something happen? I encountered a legendary being deep in the forest. What kind of legend? I remember Emle mentioned something about some being that was sealed away in the Accursed Lands? You met the King of Ruin?! You know about him? Some of the legends and old books remain. "When the world reaches saturation, the King of Ruin will appear. He will bring ruin to any and all, forcing all to start over from scratch." It’s unclear how true that may be, but I can’t declare it a lie. Did he call himself that? He didn’t give a name. But the King of Ruin, huh? He was certainly terrifying enough to warrant that name. Did you talk to this king? No, the king... was a being that seemed beyond our understanding. However, he had a young woman serving him. She clarified the king’s words to some degree. I’m not sure if the being you met was the King of Ruin. Though it’s clear he’s not something good. Now that I’ve filled my stomach and recovered a bit of Mana, I can tell. This forest is abnormal. Perhaps I should have noticed sooner. Did you give him anything in exchange for the food? Nothing. Like an evil being would grant charity without demanding anything in return. I don’t know. I just explained our situation when they asked. That’s all. Why would the King of Ruin do such a thing? Grace. "Grace," you say? Yeah, grace. His Grace sympathized with our situation and granted us charity. You! Did you just call him "His Grace"? Have you been charmed by him?! Absolutely not! Then why would you be so rash as to call him "His Grace"?! That title is used to show respect! His Grace granted us aid! When we were starving! It’s only natural to show him respect! But we’re talking about an evil being! Then what?! What was I supposed to do?! We’re only able to waste our strength arguing like this because His Grace filled our stomachs! Hey, Elder Moltar. What should I have done? Even I don’t know the answer to that. I’m sorry, Gia, brave warrior of our tribe. You’ve done well. I’ll handle negotiations with the king as the leader of the Dark Elves. I’ve been alive for two centuries now. I’ll figure something out. Please do. I wonder when we’ll be able to spend our nights in peace. I wonder when, too. King Takuto, sit up straight! How could you use our scarce Mana on something like that?! I-I just felt bad for them... Not good enough! We just got Mynoghra started. We don’t even know what’s going on around us yet. Hmph! I’m sorry for using our Mana without asking. Atou, please stop being mad. Hmph! It’s not like I’m mad about it. Okay. Then I’ll do anything you ask of me. "A-Anything" is going too far, isn’t it? You don’t have to promise that. I’m not really... I need you, Atou. I’m sorry for saying such mean things! I’m a failure of a subordinate for voicing dissent about my great king’s decision! Please command whatever you wish from me! Yeah... Actually, um... I wasn’t able to speak with those Dark Elves very well. Huh?! I’m able to talk to you just fine, but the words just won’t come out when I’m in front of others. I thought that was just you role-playing the idea that the strong disdain long speeches and leave the detailed negotiations to their subordinates? Apparently, I’m just awkward. My king! That reminds me... I don’t recall any nice chats with the nurses or doctors at the hospital either... Please don’t cry! It’s just, you know, you stand above it! and I rarely had the chance to chat with anyone... Kings are meant to stand above the masses! They typically only talk with subordinates that they trust! If I can’t talk to anyone I’m not close to, then I’m screwed... ▶ Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra- World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin S01E02.en-US "When the world reaches saturation, the King of Ruin will appear. He will bring ruin to any and all, forcing all to start over from scratch." Are you prepared to return to the king? Yeah. We’ve already accepted charity from the King of Ruin. We don’t know what he’ll demand in return later. No way. He never said anything about that. Can you be certain he won’t? An evil being demanding recompense is just the way of the world. However, it’s also true that we must borrow the king’s power in order to survive. Yeah. Even if we were to leave this forest, we’d just be going back to our vagabond life and struggling to find tomorrow’s meal. If we did that, then eventually... We came to the Dark Continent in search of a realm where we wouldn’t be persecuted, but this might be our last chance. Let’s go. The fate of our people rests on our shoulders. Long-legged Bug, I’m in the middle of speaking with King Takuto. Oh, I ordered it to return to us for a bit. I see. Apparently, the Dark Elves are coming. Yeah. The food you provided them before was too much for them to take home all at once. Having people with a different culture and ideology nearby can lead to conflict. I’d love to have them take the remaining food and leave promptly, but... Is there something concerning you? Well... I’m bad at communicating, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to handle negotiations well. King Takuto.... Then I’ll take charge of the negotiations for you! That would help show off your majesty as our king as well! I’m grateful for the offer, but are you sure? If you need anything, all you have to do is ask. Or do you think I’m not capable of handling it? No, I’d never think that. I’m counting on you, Atou. Your wish is my command, my king. We’re truly grateful that you have granted us the honor of an audience. I am the Elder of the Dark Elves, Moltar Cordal Mazaram. Good. It seems you know how to show proper respect. You have something you wish to say, yes? Then speak now. Yes. I offer you our greatest gratitude for granting my people food. May I please ask for the honor of knowing your great name? His name, you say? Ira Takuto, the Lord of the Apocalypse, Ruler of Ruin! That is his grand, esteemed name! Be sure to address him as King Ira or King Ira Takuto! Also, my name is Atou. I’m of lesser status than King Takuto, so be sure not to use the same title with me. King Ira Takuto, Lady Atou. I promise we will engrave your esteemed names into the souls of our people. It seems like things are going well so far. Then you may take your food and leave. Much of it will not keep for long, after all. P-Please wait! How can we repay you for your king’s great kindness in saving our people? That’s unnecessary. I doubt you would be capable of preparing an offering that would satisfy my king, and you lack the resources to do so, yes? W-Well... What an indecisive attitude. Are you plotting something? H-Heavens no! Things are looking incredibly bad now. Atou, a moment. Yes, King Takuto! About our negotiations... King Takuto! Those two suck at negotiations! Now, now. If we leave them alone, they’ll just get in your way! We should massacre them at once! Their necks would look great strung up on pillars, King Takuto! Hold on, hold on! Look... I’m sure they want to build a mutually beneficial relationship. Mutually beneficial, you say? Yeah. Let’s accept a price they’d be satisfied with instead of just granting it for nothing. I think that would reassure them as well. Rejoice! My king has said he is willing to accept your offering in exchange for his charity. Oh! We’re grateful for your generous consideration. How interesting. That old man was wary that there was some kind of catch because our alignment is evil. I see. What a fool you are. Thinking of King Takuto as one would a wicked ghost or an evil specter. N-No! I would never do such a thing! Silence! Still, what price? A price... A price... What do I do, King Takuto? The world beyond... You shall tell us of the world beyond this forest! That is what the king desires! Oh! In that case, I shall offer to share all that I have heard and witnessed myself! Very good. Then once your pact has been fulfilled, be sure to leave this forest promptly. He’s shaken. This one’s much easier to read than the old man. Nothing would grant us more joy than receiving permission to stay in this forest where the king presides. We cannot permit that. Furthermore, if you do not wish to lose the lives that have been saved, then you will not speak of what happened here to others. But we-! Gia. If that is what the king wishes, then we shall simply obey. Then, mighty King Ira Takuto, I offer our gratitude for granting us this audience. Is this the right thing to do? If I cast them out like this, there’s a good chance they’ll just collapse elsewhere. There has to be a way to overcome this. I know! Hey, you two. You should become my citizens. U-Uh... I’ll consult with my king! Wh-What are you trying to do? I was thinking of using the Refugee system. Huh?! Dark Elves are neither good nor evil by default. But if we accept them into our civilization as refugees... then assuming it works like in the game, they should become evil beings just like us. It’s true that it’s possible for different evil-aligned beings to coexist, but they’re very different from Mynoghra’s main citizenry, the Homunculi. There’s still a risk of them clashing. It’s true, that’s a risk. But I want you to remember. Remember how the Homunculi look. Atou, can you handle life with only those for citizens? That’s right. It’s impossible to hold a proper conversation with the Homunculi too. That appearance is bad for the mind as well. So you see where I’m coming from? It’d be a big help if you could convey it well for me. Our king intends to found a nation here soon. If you are willing to become its citizens, then he will promise to safeguard you. P-Please forgive my rudeness, but what would become of us if we become his citizens? You would be promised eternal happiness. Or so I would like to say, but I imagine that is not what you wish to know. To be frank, you would become evil beings. You’re free to choose your fate for yourselves. However, if I may add my own personal opinion, it’s more fun than you’d expect on our side. King Takuto, please watch your step. Thank you. I’m okay. Still, it took them quite a while to make up their minds to become our citizens. Well, I think anyone would think it over if they were told it would turn them into evil beings. They knew from the start what their best option would be though. Oh, King Takuto, I can see it. It’s the Dark Elves’ camp. Everyone! The king has arrived! Don’t look at him directly! It’s disrespectful! My king, it seems all the Dark Elves are here. Now, we hereby accept all of you Dark Elves as citizens of our nation, Mynoghra! King Takuto, are you certain? Yeah. All the conditions have been met. Now, let’s formally announce the founding of Mynoghra. Okay. Glad to have you. Congratulations! You all are now citizens of Mynoghra. Your happiness and safety shall be guaranteed under our mighty ruler, King Ira Takuto. Is that it? They said we would become evil, but I’m not sensing any changes- I can feel the hatred rising up from deep within me. Those who persecuted us, hurt us, and scoffed at us like we were worthless! I hate them! I hate them all! I hate all living beings! The rage and the hatred won’t stop! I hate them! I’m angry at them! This is painful! Are you okay? My king... I see. So this is the joy of being cared for. King Ira Takuto! Our mighty king! Yeah! King Ira Takuto! Our wonderful king! Oh! A few days have passed since I established the kingdom of Mynoghra. It’s checkmate. Huh? What’s the matter, King Takuto? Look. This is the map of the continent that you received from Elder Moltar, right? This is... We got such a shitty starting position! There are already two large nations on this continent. One is the Holy Kingdom of Qualia. It’s a nation of humans who worship the Holy God Arlos. Ugh, that means a hardcore good alignment, doesn’t it? Ack, and this one is a nation of Elves who worship nature. That’s also good-aligned for sure. If they manage to discover our evil nation... It’ll be the cliche, "Good day, sir. Now die!" won’t it?! As Mynoghra stands now, we don’t have the military strength to oppose these two dominant nations. King Takuto! To make things worse, these Accursed Lands don’t have a single natural resource we can harvest! I know! It’s so bad that trying to express this as a difficulty level is a fool’s errand. Well, at least it’s not all bad news. Normally, Mynoghra would struggle to produce Research, right? Our citizens, the Homunculi, are fairly stupid after all. Though it’s good that their Fertility is high and their Happiness doesn’t decline easily. Uh-huh. Though this time, the Dark Elves should help cover that weakness. I see. It would seem the Dark Elves are here to report on the world beyond again. Good day to you, my king. Lady Atou as well. My king, I, Gia, am here as well! Today I have brought my aide, Emle, with me. I’m Emle. Emle is an intelligent woman, and knows much about legends and about other nations. I believe she’ll be helpful. Our king is very satisfied with your dedication. Thank you! I am grateful for the praise. You need not remain so formal. Our king is not a fan of ceremony. If that is what our king wishes. Now, on to our plans for the future... We’ll have you work in key positions for the administration of Mynoghra. This is our king’s decision, so it cannot be overturned. Elder Moltar, you shall focus on managing affairs of state. We’ve heard you can use magic as well, so we have great expectations. I accept this post. Gia, you will continue to serve as Head Warrior, so please command Mynoghra’s forces. We leave recruiting up to you as well. I accept this post! If our king commands it, I’ll swiftly slaughter any foe, skewer them, and line their corpses up on display! What? That’s scary. Huh? War is barbaric. Our king prefers peace. Be sure to remember that! Y-Yes! Why would the King of Ruin be a pacifist? First, be sure to get plenty of rest. Once your health has recovered, we’ll have you start constructing homes. You have our deepest gratitude. Unlike Gia, who only prides himself on strength, my knowledge shall prove useful at once. Hmph! That damn old man! U-Unlike this old man, I’m brimming with vitality! I don’t need any rest! I-I’ll work hard too! Hmm. King Takuto, it would seem they’re workaholics. Shall we command them to gather resources for now? Hmm... I know! What about improving the Terrain? Right! There was that option! Elder Moltar, would it possible for you to procure lumber while leaving enough of the forest intact? Leave that to me. We’re also a people who make the forest our home. If you’re planning to construct buildings using big trees, then I believe we can fulfill our king’s wishes. Oh! That’s quite promising to hear. He’s the King of Ruin, and he’s not destroying the forest? Work hard! Don’t forget to Reforest it too! I’d like to ask a question. What manner of action is Reforesting? Huh? You don’t know about Reforesting? Elder Moltar? Emle? From what I’m hearing, the tech level for people of this world should be somewhere around Fortress Building. Are you familiar with the terms "Military Magic" and "the Six Major Elements"? I know of the Four Major Elements. That’s a fundamental concept in magic. Military Magic is also a term I’ve never heard any other nations using. I see. I guess this world hasn’t even reached the Magic Technology level of the Six Major Elements. They’re oddly behind compared to their other technologies. Does this mean... that our magic technology is far poorer than our king thought it would be? Exactly right. Though, on the other hand, that also means we have a chance to get ahead of other nations once we advance it. Oh my! Whoops, I’m getting off track. Reforesting is the practice of planting trees where you harvested lumber in order to maintain the environment. It’s an important step to secure resources. I don’t believe our magic technology has anything to do with growing trees? True, it usually takes several centuries for them to mature once harvested. Are you suggesting... Yes. Reforesting is a technology that uses the major elements to accelerate their growth. And this is also wisdom born from our mighty king, King Ira Takuto! Huh?! Truly?! Yes! Our king is a hundred times more incredible than you imagine! Th-That’s a huge lie! The knowledge born from our king covers many different areas. Do you understand how blessed you are to receive the grace of our king?! My stomach hurts from the pressure. Then the apples we received earlier are food our king created too?! Yes! Yes, they are! I especially love the grapes created by our king! You’re cut off from grapes for a while! Oh, grapes! That purple fruit, right?! They had seeds, so I tried planting them, and they’re already sprouting! I can’t wait until they’re fully grown! Umm, did you say you planted the grape seeds? And they’ve sprouted? U-Uh? That’s right! Why didn’t I notice it sooner? The food I created was from the modern world! That means I can use Emergency Production to create things that didn’t exist in the game! Emergency Production! I knew it! With this power, I can create gunpowder, base metals, and even oil. It requires vast amounts of Mana, but it’s obvious how overpowered that is! U-Umm, was that a bad thing? No, it was something we overlooked. You’ve truly done good work. An omen of the apocalypse coming from the Accursed Lands on the Dark Continent. That’s... So this is where you’ve been, Your Holiness. Cardinal. You have good timing. I wish to speak with you about something. We must hasten preparations. Barbarians have appeared in the Northern Province. Let us go. We cannot ignore this. Something is beginning to happen in this world. ▶ Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra- World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin S01E03.en-US I’ve heard that the saint possesses a special power, but it really doesn’t seem that way to me. You’ll understood soon. Your Holiness, hurry! The time for you to repent has now passed. For the crime of disrupting the peace of the Holy Kingdom of Qualia, and the sin of forsaking the Holy God Arlos, you are sentenced to a blooming burial. Some saint. More like an ultimate weapon. H-How on earth?! That power is part of why our nation is able to stave off evil and maintain a proper relationship with the nation of Elves. She buries her foes in flames and sends them off with flowers. That is one of the Idoragya Continent’s Seven Great Savior Saints, Saint Soalina of Blooming Burials. I’ve sent the Paladins out to the nearby villages. Cardinal, what about the matter I discussed with you on the way here? Well, which matter would that be? The fact that there’s an omen of the apocalypse in the Accursed Lands, and that we should dispatch Paladins to investigate it. I cannot comply with that. Showing interest in the Accursed Lands in the Dark Continent far to the south is preposterous. Central would never give permission to use the Paladins for that. Then perhaps I’ll go myself. Your Holiness, you don’t understand the position you’re in! You’re no longer the simple village girl you used to be! Tsk. I’ll send those I can personally command. Damn village wench. I have to save them. Now, everyone! It’s time for some fun, fun construction! Yeah! King Takuto, what’s the matter? This is nice, isn’t it? The Dark Elves worked quickly to establish this throne and council room. We’re just getting started too. Let’s make our civilization powerful enough to dominate the land and pierce the heavens! All of your national administrators have assembled at your command. Then let’s begin the council. Before that... O great and mighty king, please accept this offering. Huh? It’s finished already?! Yes! I can finally get out of my pajamas! We all worked hard to make it so you could wear attire befitting a king. King Takuto, it looks really good on you! Our king is terribly delighted. We’re honored to hear that he likes it. Yes! Now, the long-awaited time for domestic affairs has come! For starters, we shall conduct our meeting, consulting with the king as necessary. Yeah, I’m counting on you. So, Lady Atou, what buildings should we start constructing first? We’ve already started preparations like leveling the ground and pruning the branches. We’ll create a Food Production facility. No one can wage war on an empty stomach. Not that we plan on waging any wars. Forgive me for asking, but can’t our king create an infinite amount with his power? How long do you intend to make our king do such a thing? Plus, there’s the issue of distribution that will arise as we expand our domain. You’re entirely right. Please forgive my shortsightedness. So long as you understand. Here. Nice to meet you! Lady Atou, what’s this? A Flesh Tree! Huh? It’s a Flesh Tree! Um, could you explain in a bit more detail? This is one of our civilization’s Food Production facilities. It’s a tree that grows mystery meat that tastes like human flesh. It produces a large harvest, and it’s technically meat, so it’s very nutritious. It feels evil. We understand. However, there are those who may harbor ill feelings toward consuming human flesh. We’ll only be planting them to get started. Everyone has likes and dislikes after all. We’ll also need a hut for managing it, and a Building for stockpiling food. I’ll take charge of that. Please be nice to me. Next on the agenda is our Research. Since we’re still a minor nation, we urgently need to acquire the latest technology. So, Lady Atou, what technology should we prioritize first? Magic Technology, obviously! Exciting! You look excited, my king. I’m a bit of a scholar of magic myself, so I’m excited too. So what kind of magic will we be researching? Military Magic! Normal magic can only be used to attack a few dozen people at most, right? If I may humbly say so, I can do that with ease. Of course, Military Magic allows you to attack armies on the scale of thousands, as well as altering the terrain to your advantage, along with other strategic uses. There’s magic capable of producing such miracles?! For this, we’ll need to select a few who are talented with magic to conduct the Research. It’s not a very difficult Technology, so we should develop it quickly. The world of magic known by our king... You’re getting my blood pumping! Now then, that leaves our Military Planning. It’s my turn now! First, we’ll need to organize an army. For the time being, we won’t be putting too much effort into that. I see... Armies don’t produce anything and just consume Resources and Mana. Pardon me for saying so, but our current warrior band lacks the strength to protect our king. To make matters worse, embarrassing as it is to admit, both Gia and I have bounties on our heads for being the leaders of the Dark Elves. You’re concerned about pursuers. Then let’s create a Hero. Great idea! A Hero might have a high production cost, but they have hardly any Upkeep, which makes them perfect! Lady Atou, what is this Hero? In Mynoghra, there are several Heroes who serve under our king. They’re all powerful and possess special abilities, though they’re all monsters with all of their screws loose. There are several conditions to meet in order to summon them, but it should be possible to summon at least one soon. Not only do armies carry an Upkeep, they also stand out... A Hero would also do well in preserving our concealment. So we’ll create a Hero, and you can rest easy. I-I’m truly grateful. Yeah! Managing domestic affairs is lots of fun! It is lots of fun, King Takuto! We’re also collecting Mana from our citizens, so our National Mana is building up nicely. The amount we collect is proportional to our citizens’ Happiness, so the happier our people are, the more our nation can develop. All right! I’m going to lead everyone to the peak of happiness! Hey, Lonius! What are you doing?! We don’t have time to dawdle. This is a place for offering prayers to God. Please be quiet, Sir Verdel. You’ve prayed enough, haven’t you? We need to- Hmm? What’s that? Hmph, using your wedding ring like a protective charm? You have a daughter too, right? What was the name of your wife and kid again? That has nothing to do with our mission. Don’t be such a stranger. A High Paladin is asking you a question. My wife is Marsha. My daughter is Mina. Hmm... Well, we’ll be traveling for a few days. I’ll tease you if you start mentioning your wife or child’s name in your sleep. Don’t pout like that. Many rumors talk of him being crude and ill-mannered. However, his skill and achievements are authentic. Still, why are they sending me to the Dark Continent? It’s to investigate a revelation Saint Soalina received. If we’re successful, then we’ll be well-regarded by the Congress of the Southern Provinces. And if we fail, I’ll be held responsible as the Under Paladin. Hmph. These are some shabby forces for a revelation from the saint. You and I are the only Paladins, and they told us to make up the difference with mercenaries. It’s rare to conduct an investigation outside national borders, and there are no standards for the size of troops dispatched. I wonder what the big-wigs are thinking. Even with the priesthood and Paladins, it’s hard to know what the higher-ups are thinking when they work behind the scenes. They must have had some reason for forcing him to join me right before my departure. However... Lonius, man, we’ve been waiting for you. Oh! So these are the mercenaries you recruited?! Well done! All right! Let’s get this over with! Despite his attitude, he’s still a High Paladin. I guess he’ll improve our investigation team’s chances of survival. O great and mighty king, we’re truly grateful to have you inspecting us today. Oh! Incredible! I’ve seen the sight of our civilization starting out and getting into its groove in-game many times before, but this is what it’s like to see it for real, huh? That’s our residential area. We’re specialized in treetop architecture, but since we’re currently prioritizing the Flesh Trees, we haven’t made much progress on our homes. Also, the Flesh Trees are growing steadily, and we should complete the food storehouse soon. At the Magic Research Institute, Elder Moltar is leading several who are talented at magic to get started on research at once. We managed to discover a spring nearby to secure water, so we’re looking into creating an aqueduct. Furthermore, this building where our king resides is the public office where people can file paperwork. I know Mynoghra’s administrative body deserves something more majestic, but that’s beyond our means at present, so it’s currently this size. That’s great judgment. Plus, she’s handled things I hadn’t ordered, like securing a water source, which I’m thankful for. And more importantly... the Dark Elves that were so emaciated when I met them are now so full of life. Though I gave them that opportunity, It still makes me so happy to see. Um, what do you think? We’ve been carrying out your orders in the hope of repaying you for the great mercy you showed us. Yeah, it’s incredible. Truly incredible. I’m glad I welcomed you all in as citizens. Th-Thank you so much! D-Don’t cry. Jeez. I know how you feel, though. Please pardon me for my earlier outburst. Allow me to continue guiding you on your inspection. I’m glad she managed to recover. I never had a girl cry on me before, so I was really shaken. The Flesh Trees here are almost ready to harvest. I know we had to rely on you for them, but everything is proceeding smoothly thanks to the quality tools and farming equipment you gave us. I’ll provide your tools for a while. I’m worried they’d be of poor quality if you had to make them. That will help things progress quickly. It’s overpowered. Using an overpowered ability to dominate is super fun! You’re so evil, King Takuto! I’m almost ripe enough to eat. Now we’ve secured the food production necessary to sustain Mynoghra’s residents. Yeah! N-Next, I’ll show you to the water source. Huh? What’s going on? The forest seems strange? Oh, this is... The spring we finally found is now... What’s the matter, Emle? Well, well. I see you’re gracing us with a personal inspection, my king. I came to see about building an aqueduct after hearing from Emle, but... This water... is no good anymore. Let me see. Hmm, not when it’s this color... No, it’s safe. So good! Huh?! H-Huh?! This is called "Cursed Terrain," and it’s proof that this land has become part of Mynoghra’s domain. Try taking a deep breath. I-I feel my mind growing sharper. I feel my body brimming with strength! I feel incredibly refreshed! Cursed Terrain provides benefits to evil beings and penalties to neutral and good beings. Since you all became citizens of Mynoghra, you’ve gone from neutral to evil. You mean, not only is it safe, it also makes the land more comfortable for us to live in? Then this water’s also... I-I can drink it normally! Cursed Terrain is the perfect kind of Terrain for defense. Soon enough, all the land in our nation will change like this. This is also a product of our king’s power. As expected of our mighty king, it’s a most astonishing power. There’s just one problem with it. This blatantly stands out. Keeping a focused watch on this local area is sufficient for now, but if the entire region becomes like this, then it’ll become easier for our enemies to discover us. We should start forming an army. You’re such a worrywart. Our king is going to create a Hero, so it’ll be fine. With all due respect, we still don’t understand what a Hero is from what you told us the other day. It’ll be faster to show you. It’s been quite a few days since we arrived here. Enough for this. I forgot to tell you, but I’m also a Hero. That’s only a hundredth of what I can do in my prime, but those we call Heroes possess the power to wipe out armies single-handedly. Heroes are overpowered. They don’t stand out, and they keep getting stronger as time passes, even if they don’t do anything. They grow stronger simply with the passage of time? T-Then Lady Atou will grow even more powerful than that in the future?! That’s right. So long as we plan to remain isolated, I’m sufficient for our present needs. Atou. Yes, my king?! You didn’t have to destroy the forest to show off your power, did you? It can wait until later, but make sure to clean it up. Yes. W-We’ll help as well! Man, that was impressive! Once again, I’m forced to understand how great your power is, Lady Atou, and how mighty King Ira Takuto is as well! I believe we urgently need to construct a palace befitting our king! No, we don’t need a palace. I’m fine with the same home as everyone else. That won’t do! Do you think we could accept hearing that our king lives in the same dwelling as all of us?! We would feel too guilty to sleep! I understand it is audacious to object to your profound reasoning, but please reconsider! Um, King Takuto, it may carry a great cost, but a palace does produce Resources, and it seems it would raise our citizens’ Happiness as well. Then let’s build it? Yeah! I’d like the Floating Castle one day too, so maybe it would be good to build it early. The National Legacy that can be produced at Max City Level? It is everyone’s dream, isn’t it? Floating Castle? It’s a city that flies through the sky. A city... in the sky? It’s so fantastical, I can’t even imagine it. But our king has managed to realize everything he’s spoken of so far... Which means even a flying city is... All of us Dark Elves once more vow to serve our king with everything we have! Glory to King Ira Takuto! May Mynoghra see eternal prosperity! King Takuto, for now... Yeah. Founding our nation is proceeding smoothly, so let’s work hard to keep up the pace! Have you finished those off? I’m finished. Good! Let’s hurry onward. There’s no need for us to step in. Well, this is only the beginning. I just hope it keeps going this way on the Dark Continent. ▶ Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra- World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin S01E04.en-US Man, y’know... You did well hiring this large a mercenary group. Yes. I got lucky. Most of the mercenaries are currently in the north. The Northern Disturbance, huh? Yes. The Northern Disturbance. Barbarians suddenly appeared in the northern province of the Holy Kingdom of Qualia and raided the villages. It caused enormous damage. The saint and the army were sent to bring things under control, but the disturbance still shows no signs of settling down. Man, I’ve heard the north is in trouble. Don’t talk like it doesn’t concern you, Bargo. You say that, but it really isn’t our problem. What, you guys don’t plan on going on there? I heard you can earn a lot of money. Even if it pays well, after hearing there’s a Witch up there, I’m staying away. A Witch? Well, who cares about the north. We’re heading south, to the Accursed Lands. Who knows what we’ll find there, so be on guard. I know that, buddy. Bargo, what was that about a Witch? Oh, it’s just a rumor. Hearsay. People are talking and saying that the commotion up north was caused by a Witch. Ridiculous. The saint was sent to the north as well. There’s no way one person caused that. Yeah, I figure that’s impossible too. Probably some heretics or something. Stop it! Enough with the depressing talk! S-Sorry. Refill! Coming! Haven’t you had a bit too much to drink, buddy? Quit nitpicking, Bargo. God has told us: "After caring for the suffering of the populace in your own home and before your family, you should doff your robes." In other words! When work is over, it’s okay to cut loose and relax! That’s Article 3, Section 4, Clause 3 of the Holy God Arlos’s doctrine, right? That clause preaches that we’re temporarily freed from our sacred duties around our families. It’s not supposed to grant permission for drinking. Hmm? A difference in interpretation. Do we need to engage in religious debate, Lonius? I’ve brought your refill! I’ve waited for this! Still, guys, we have two Paladins going out of their way to investigate something. Something in the Accursed Lands of the Dark Continent, no less. What on earth could be that important? It’s not something involving a Witch like up north, is it? If it is, then we’re... It’s not that. Don’t worry. We do have an idea of what it is. Yeah? What is it? Well, that’s where the Dark Elves ran off to. The brass are probably just worried about them causing trouble. I see! You’re right that we can’t just leave them alone. They’re talented in curses and assassinations, after all. If they were to gain power in hiding, they’d eventually turn their blades on us! Don’t tense up, Lonius. We’re just investigating this time. We can just run if it gets dangerous. Just run away. Oh! It’s a relief for us to hear that’s your plan. Sir Verdel, are you sure that’s the attitude we should have as God’s vanguards? If we find evil in there, then shouldn’t we risk our lives to exterminate it? Lonius! Don’t be too hungry for glory. There will come a time when that’s necessary for us as Paladins. But that’s not something you should decide so easily. But... You have a family, don’t you? It’s the same for me and these guys. We have good reasons not to die. So... Enough, enough! Have I become a self-important old man, drinking booze and lecturing others?! Old man? You guys! We’re hitting the Dark Continent tomorrow! So go on and drink up now! Yeah! May the Holy God Arlos’ protection be with them. Umm, is something about to happen? I don’t know. But our king has gathered us here. I’m sure it’s important to the nation. Be quiet. It’s starting. The Flesh Tree’s fruit... Became a Long-legged Bug?! My king, are you truly able to create new life? Oh my! Whoa! Did you see that? This is the power of our king, King Ira Takuto. Our king still has much more power than this too. Your dedication and your happiness will grant our king even more powers! Everyone! Show our king even more devotion for his sake! Do you understand?! Yeah! I’m glad it went well. Good work out there, King Takuto. I’m delighted that we were able to use normal production. Yeah. There’s that too, but I’m relieved they backed down when I smiled to brush off their question. Although... I wonder what’s going on with that too. Yes. I didn’t think it’d be as simple as gathering the resources, pouring mana into them, and then "There, all done." Well, thinking about things we don’t understand won’t do any good. More importantly, King Takuto! Yeah? With this latest ritual, we were able to confirm that we can we safely produce new units. That means next time we can... Yeah. We’ll conduct a Hero Summoning. I knew it! Even though we need to build up a stockpile of mana for now, we finally have a path forward. With two Heroes on our side, we can be assured of our fighting forces. So who do you plan to summon first? Isla, the Queen of Bugs. I’m thinking of going with her. Isla, then?! She’s fairly overpowered too, isn’t she?! Yeah! Isla, the Queen of Bugs, is one of Mynoghra’s proud insectoid Heroes. She has the ability to empower all Insect units. With that, the Long-legged Bugs will become top-notch fighters. Moreover, she also has the ability to produce Larva units and create our workforce. Isla boasts great performance in both war and domestic affairs. She’s the Hero we need the most right now. That’s impressive, King Takuto. Getting Isla early in the game to give birth, increase the workforce, and grow more powerful is a standard strategy. When faced with many unknown elements, that’s all the more reason to adopt the most reliable plan. Exactly. Well, that and all the others have horrible personalities. That meant Isla was the only choice we had. Now that you mention it, one loves world conquest, another loves throwing the world into chaos... All our Heroes are problematic... Yeah. We want to focus on domestic affairs, so the idea of summoning them is a bit... y’know? We can’t go without their abilities, and I’d personally love to meet them too, so I plan to summon them eventually. I just hope they don’t cause issues. I want to live in peace, Atou. Yes, my king. It’s a Hill Giant! Foul things attacking in broad daylight! I suppose I should expect that from the Dark Continent. Hey guys, sorry to ask, but could you give us some help? Of course. You men draw your bows- No, I’ll do it. Huh?! Are you sure? Yeah. We don’t have time to waste getting delayed here. None of you guys do anything. It’ll be a pain if his attention gets distracted. O God! Grant me the power to strike down evil! A holy sword art? Yeah. It’s Qualia’s secret technique of incorporating prayers into the motions of our sword in order to gain divine might. It’s starting! Look out! Wha?! Wha?! Paladins granted divine might have their physical abilities enhanced, and the power to eradicate evil fills their bodies. For a High Paladin, that power is... equivalent to that of a Lesser Dragon. A hill giant won’t even stand a chance. Yeah! That was impressive, Sir Verdel. Hmm? With power like that, we should be able to complete our mission without any issues. I’m not so sure. King Takuto... Why don’t you eat something that’s finer quality? Huh? I can’t eat it? You’re welcome to eat it... but I think you should be eating healthier meals. I’m sick of doing that. When I was hospitalized, I ate lots of that stuff. On that note, though, I’m more worried about you. Worried? Why is that? Why? Because you’re just eating salads. That suits my tastes better. You’re far too healthy for your evil alignment. Anyway, this is becoming incredible, isn’t it? The Materials for constructing the Palace, right? The Dark Elves are certainly going all out. Oh! That reminds me. What’s the matter? Once we’re done eating, could you summon Moltar and the others? As you wish. Though what did you wish to discuss? Thanks to the Long-legged Bugs, I can see the area around the forest as well. I figured I’d consult with them on how to handle it. We need to handle the area around the forest? You’re referring to the nearby city, then? Yeah. That town’s not part of... Qualia, was it? It’s not part of that good nation. Well, Qualia is much further to the north. This town would be of a different, neutral nation in the east. We certainly should decide on how to handle this. They’re likely to be the first to discover our existence, since they’re closest. Right? I’m glad they’re a neutral nation. If they were good, there would be no chance of negotiating. Yes. Anyone else coming here would mean trouble. Since it would mean they came with a purpose. You’re such a worrywart, Atou. There’s no sign that anyone’s aware of our existence, so it’ll be fine. Oh, silly King Takuto! Saying such things will trigger an event flag, you know? No way. It won’t trigger- Wh-What’s happened? Looks like someone really did come here. There’s an armed band approaching the forest. Atou. Yes! I want to avoid standing out for now. Go turn them away as peacefully as possible. If that’s not possible, then... As you command. So these are the Accursed Lands and the Cursed Sea of Trees that bars all life? Let’s go. Yes. Stop! Sir Verdel? A young girl? Stop right there, girl! Who are you?! What are you doing in these Accursed Lands?! I’m a Dark Elf who fled into these woods to survive. I see that you are a Paladin of Qualia. What business has brought you here this day? I cannot tell you our reason. Answer our question first, little girl. What are you doing in these woods? I’m simply living alongside my brethren who faced similar circumstances. You’ve gone out of your way to live in such cursed land? Well, whatever. Our business is with this forest. You won’t mind us entering, will you? You mustn’t do that. I ask that you please refrain. We are men recognized by God- Be quiet, Lonius! I’m talking right now! M-My apologies. Did that really warrant such a rebuke? I simply interjected a little. We came here on a job. We can’t exactly nod our heads and go home just because you don’t like it. My brethren are terrified. We’ve all suffered a long and painful journey to finally find a place to live in peace. I ask that you please show us mercy. You’re insistent on this. Is there something in the forest? There’s nothing. Only peace and quiet. What about you, Sir Paladin? Why are you so intent on such a gloomy forest? Tsk! We’ve come due to a divine revelation of calamity lurking in this land! We can’t return home without confirming the truth! Sir Verdel! The revelation is an important national secret! Why are you sharing it?! I told you to be quiet, didn’t I?! Secret or not, there are times that things need to be said! Sharing a divine revelation without permission is a sinful breach of trust! Even if he is a High Paladin, there’s still a limit to his personal authority! I’ll be reporting this when we return to our homeland! Do as you please. A divine revelation, you say? So you Paladins are concerned about this potential calamity then? That’s right. We’d like to enter this forest to confirm the truth. I’m terribly sorry. She’s refusing?! After learning we’re here on a revelation-a mission from God?! There’s nothing for you to be concerned about in this land, Sir Paladin. I beg for your understanding and ask that you please go back. Just letting us in a little bit would be fine. Is that not possible either? I ask that you please refrain. Was that evil energy just now? Is this little girl really a Dark Elf? The revelation was correct! There is something in this forest! We have to find it! So there is no calamity then? There is not. And the chances of a calamity befalling us and our people? There’s none. If anything, we are the ones to be afraid. Would you swear that before God? I swear it upon my god. We’re leaving. What do you think you’re doing?! She said they just want to live in peace. So there’s no problem here. I can feel the evil energy coming from her! You would trust the word of someone like that?! Yeah, I would. Beginning from a place of trust is part of our doctrine! And if she’s trying to deceive us? Don’t let fear color your perspective, you impious man. There’s no problem here. That’s the result of our investigation. Now, let’s get back home already. What a shame! High Paladin Verdel, I deem that you have abandoned our mission, and strip you of your authority! Huh? Are you screwing with me right now? You are the one screwing around! Not only have you shared the revelation, but you plan to return without investigating?! Are you making a mockery of God’s will?! I cannot entrust this mission to someone like that! Henceforth, I shall be taking command! We will now enter the Accursed Lands and conduct our investigation! To ascertain the truth of this calamity! As you say, boss. Stop it! Bargo! I’m sorry, buddy. The one employing us is Sir Lonius. Dammit! I beg you, please don’t be so rash. We’re capable of talking this out. Silence! If you continue to interfere, then we won’t show mercy! Seize her! Stop! Do not lay a hand on the defenseless! I guess it failed. Are you all right, Lonius?! Sir Verdel? What happened? It’s a Witch! We found a damn Witch! And here everything was going so well, too. Life doesn’t always go your way, does it? ▶ Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra- World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin S01E05.en-US So these are the Accursed Lands and the Cursed Sea of Trees that bars all life? Let’s go. Yes. A young girl? Stop right there, girl! Who are you?! I’m a Dark Elf who fled into these woods to survive. Our business is with this forest. You won’t mind us entering, will you? You mustn’t do that. I ask that you please refrain. We’re leaving. What do you think you’re doing?! She said they just want to live in peace. So there’s no problem here. There’s no problem here. That’s the result of our investigation. Henceforth, I shall be taking command! We will now enter the Accursed Lands and conduct our investigation! To ascertain the truth of this calamity! As you say, boss. Stop it! Bargo! I guess it failed. What happened? It’s a Witch! We found a damn Witch! And here everything was going so well, too. Life doesn’t always go your way, does it? It really doesn’t. Bargo! I don’t care who does it, just get a runner back home! They have to know about this! Sorry, buddy. She just took out our messengers with that attack. Come on. I’m the monster you’ve been looking for. The calamity you were searching for has appeared before you. Sir Verdel! Don’t lose your nerve now! We have no choice but to fight at this point! Everyone, combat formation! Ready your weapons! We will now eliminate the calamity! Yeah! Oh? You’re attacking me? Fire! No mercy! That’s good! I like this! Love it, in fact! Impossible! Dammit! This is horrible! And everything nearly went so well! I’m completely in agreement. I also regret that it’s come to this. Though it’s all the fault of that fool who brandished his silly piety and tried to pry where he shouldn’t. Sir Verdel, what... exactly is a Witch? I was ordered to keep it strictly confidential by the higher-ups, but I guess I should have told you. When the saint receives a revelation and the upper ranks confirm it, that monster is designated as a calamity and called a Witch. The commotion up north was caused by a Witch too! This woman is likely that very same thing! Do you understand how dangerous the situation we’re in is now?! Yes! All done? All finished chatting? Mercenaries, fall back! We’ll face her! Follow my lead, Lonius! O God! Grant me the power to strike down evil! So slow. Weak, too. Nah, that ain’t necessarily the case! First, we’ll deal with those disgusting tentacles! We’re cutting them all off! Yes! Using a god’s blessing to deliver a divine strike? The effect is a special attack bonus against evil-aligned entities, I’d say. This is the problem with units from a good civilization. Just three more! Why, you! Well done! What?! Shit! Dammit! Sir Verdel! Pardon me. I was taking you Paladins a bit too lightly. You’ve proven stronger than expected. However, how is this for you? Can you strike now? You can’t, can you? This is why I love humans. You care for each other so much that you make perfect shields! S-Save me! You fiend! Restrain yourself, Lonius! Just two more. Cut off two more, and we win. But then- If we defeat that fiend, then we’ll purge the calamity. There won’t be any harm to our homeland. Think of the bigger picture right now! I understand. What?! Why are you attacking?! The hostages too?! I’m sorry, but- This is- Huh? Run! Run, Loni-! S-Sir Verdel?! How? We cut all the tentacles! Did I ever say I only had six? I can replace these as much as I want. Wha?! She was toying with us from the very start? Now then... Run! Huh? Have everyone scatter and run in different directions! At least one person must survive to warn our homeland about this! You just had to do that. How are you... Able to use Holy Sword Artes, you ask? I stole them. From that man there. Stole them? Yes. All the diligent effort he put in, all the techniques he honed, became mine the moment I killed him! The skill behind this technique! It seems Paladin Verdel was a man worthy of being called a powerful fighter. Though he died from your shortsightedness! So your wife’s name is Marsha, and Mina’s your daughter? How do you know that?! Did you also... Yes, I stole it! His feelings, his memories, everything! I-Impossible! Skills, memories... She steals everything from those she kills? So that means she only gets stronger the more she kills?! "If I die here, what will happen to Lonius and his family?" "The mercenaries, and even myself, all have people waiting for our return!" How heroic. No wonder he was a High Paladin. He was concerned for all of your safety until his final moment. So what are you feeling after hearing that, Paladin Lonius?! H-His will still lives on! While I’m keeping you in check here, the mercenaries can escape! What?! Oh, that’s the Dark Elves. I ordered them to not let a single man escape. Huh? Did I ever say that I was alone? Why don’t we talk about a future that could have been? This is what would have happened if you had listened to Paladin Verdel: You would have returned home safely and been reunited with your beloved family. You would have enjoyed the peaceful happiness of an ordinary life, and continued offering your prayers of gratitude to your god. Meanwhile, we would have been blessed with peace as well. The forest would have remained tranquil, and I would have gone to bed hoping that could last forever. Now, let’s talk about the future you have chosen. You will die. Then your family will die too. I’ll hunt them down and kill them. I’ll torment them, and torment them, and torment them, until they plead for death. Only then will I kill them. After that, I’ll go to every village and town you all stopped at on your way here, and I’ll kill everyone living there. There won’t be much point or meaning to that, but I might as well kill them. When they ask me why, I’ll tell them it was because of your foolish actions, then I’ll kill them. Stop! When people disregard you, you’re finished. So be sure to kill them when they do. That’s what I was taught by someone precious to me. So I’m killing them. I’ll kill them without exception, to make sure none ever look down on me, no matter how many hundreds, thousands, or millions that number has to climb to. This is what you have chosen. S-Stop! Stop it, please! I’m sure you were a good person! You believed in your god, devoted yourself to your nation, and loved your family! How commendable! But this is why I hate those who believe they are just. Farewell, Paladin Lonius. Please watch from your VIP seat in heaven. Watch as those dear to you and all those innocent bystanders suffer atrocious deaths. Lady Atou. Yes, Gia? We finished off everyone as you ordered. I’m sure our king will be delighted to hear that as well. I’m heading back, then. You’re in charge of disposing of the corpses. Umm... What is it? Are you actually going to carry out what you just said to him? Hmm? Oh, come on! There’s no way I’m doing all that! Huh? I’m a pacifist. I was just messing around! Just messing with him! Oh, shoot! I don’t have time to waste here. I need to hurry back to our king! Is there something concerning you? Yes. There’s something I need to tell our king at once. Witches... There wasn’t a unit like that in Eternal Nations, was there? There wasn’t. It would seem this world definitely isn’t the world of the game. I see. I thought that might be the case, but I guess we really have come to another world. The game’s mechanics have been applicable to an extent, but we should operate under the assumption that the world functions differently. That’s troublesome. However, there are also good aspects to it being different from the game. You’re referring to your ability? Yes. The special ability Atou possessed in the game granted her a set chance to steal a defeated unit’s ability. But... I’m able to steal my defeated opponents’ memories to some degree as well. This will prove a great weapon in our arsenal. Right. Thanks to that, we’ve learned about the situation in Qualia without sending anyone to investigate. Yes. It’s fortunate for us that Qualia doesn’t have the forces to spare thanks to the disaster in the place they call the Northern Province. Good. We can take it easy for a while, then. I think they’re likely to take some kind of action after we wiped them out, though. They don’t have any information on us. So even if they do act, they’ll have to do so with caution. What concerns me more is the cause of that disaster. The Northern Disturbance... It was caused by a Witch, right? Yes. According to the memories I stole. Do you know anything else? Unfortunately, not much. It seems even Qualia doesn’t know much about the Witch. What they do know is that she’s caused damage on par with armies to the cities of the Northern Province, and what she’s called. Let me hear it. Apparently she’s called "Erakino, the Slurping Witch." Click, clack, click, clack. Rattle, roll, rattle, roll. The gods never roll the dice. Dreams and hope are nowhere to be found. Life is all just killing time. All right then, we’re off to the next city! All my simps, come on! Atou, that Northern Disturbance occurred recently, right? Yes. So a monster showed up that’s capable of causing damage on par with armies in such a short time? Maybe it’s possible they came to this world much like we did? Either way, it’s clear that they have someone with the strength of Hero units. This is a troublesome turn of events. What shall we do about it? Judging by their actions, I believe they’re also evil-aligned, but would you like to try reaching out to them? I don’t think we should do that. We’ll never get along anyway. Not when we’re both evil. That’s true. Everything was going so well, too. Why do we have to deal with one problem after another? Well, it’s happening in the distant north. The fact that we have time to deal with it is a blessing, at least. Yes. Atou, now that we know they have combat strength equal to a Hero unit, there’s one thing we have to do. Produce a new Hero, right? Exactly. I was planning on producing Isla, but maybe I should reconsider that now. Maybe it would be better to focus on combat potential. Good point. It’ll still take a bit more time to gather the necessary mana to produce a Hero. I’ll lend what little help I can too, King Takuto! Thanks, Atou. Though Isla’s not the only thing I need to reconsider. Meaning? I’m thinking of altering our policies a little. Our policies? Let’s forge an alliance. Huh?! We have a clear enemy in Qualia. Plus we have the uncertain element of the Witch. So I want to have another nation on our side. I understand your reasoning, but is that possible? We’re evil-aligned, you know. It’s possible if there’s value for the other nation. Of course, that will only work with a neutral-aligned nation. A neutral-aligned... You mean the nation to our east? Yeah! Once the Palace is complete, I want to investigate that nation while strengthening our forces. We need to find out if they’re willing to join forces with us. That’s a Staff Holder for you! She defeated so many barbarians so easily! Quit putting your elders on a pedestal! Hurry up and clear away the dead before you celebrate! Yes! W-What’s that?! Umm... Wha?! You’re kidding, right? I’ve never seen numbers like that! Quit gawking at them! Ready your arms! Also, messengers! Go call for reinforcements! Yes! What is happening here? Umm, King Takuto? Hmm? What is it? Umm, well, see... Hmm? I figured I might have soured your mood. Hmm? W-Well, you know! Umm, I might have gone just a little too far against those Paladins... What about it? Huh? Hmm? It’s all right. I would never be offended by anything you did, Atou. I really rely on you a lot, Atou, so please don’t worry about that. Just continue supporting me. King Takuto! Of course! I’ll support you with every fiber of my being, King Takuto! Now, give me any command you please! Go on! ▶ Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra- World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin S01E06.en-US Why are we... even alive? It’s finally complete! Yes! The Palace is now complete! We still have a mountain of problems before us, but this is where our world truly begins. Uh-huh. Once we have some leeway, let’s make it bigger. I love huge palaces! I couldn’t have said it better, my king! Our Palace shall pierce the heavens and spread roots deep in the land! The vassals who serve us shall be great heroes, both daring and resolute! The women attending to us shall be countless! Yeah! I’m getting excited! I-I just realized something terrible! We don’t have a single attendant taking care of you, King Takuto! Now that you mention it, yeah. How could I permit such failure? I’ve failed you as your servant! You’re going overboard. I haven’t minded it at all. I’m still concerned about it! Do you have any requests for one? Hmm... S-Someone who’s easy to talk to would be nice. King Takuto! I haven’t been able to talk to the Dark Elves at all, so I’ve been feeling really lonely. I want to try to be a friendlier king. Well, King Takuto, that’s because your majesty is a bit too great. But please don’t worry! I have a brilliant idea. Would you grant me a little time? Nothing good ever happens when Atou’s this enthusiastic about something. I have humbly come before you in response to your summons. Elder Moltar! Gather up all of your little girls! Our king desires them! Huh?! I’ll have little girls attend to him to help him practice his conversation skills... What a brilliant idea! P-Please wait a moment, Lady Atou! For what reason are you issuing such an order? Because our king likes little girls! Atou! Yes?! Now I understand. Our king seeks to have an innocent child close by to care for his daily needs so as to remind himself not to be shackled by common thinking. What an impressive mind. That’s true. Children often spout outlandish ideas, but occasionally those ideas spark revelations in adults. There’s also another reason. Our king is being thoughtful and trying to avoid diverting people away from our labor force. We’re still very short on hands at the moment, after all. Even if it is for our king, it’s just helping to take care of one’s daily needs. Even a young child is sufficient for such simple chores. Wouldn’t a male child work just as well, then? T-That’s not the only reason. Future leadership. I’ll have them study for our future as well. I’d like to see more opportunities for women to excel. I want this to be a step toward that. Oh! To show such deep consideration! Thank goodness. That was a desperate excuse, but I’m glad they bought it. My, my, our king has shown us many great policies. I’m surprised he’s already looking ahead toward the nurturing of future talent. Our king is impressive! I’m not that great. Our discussion is over. Now, bring us your children! I’m counting on you! All right! Now to work hard on curing my poor communication! M-My king, it’s just children being children. Our king is pouting! Are there no children who won’t cry at the sight of our king?! My sincere apologies. This is all of our children. Weaklings! They’re weaklings! Elder Moltar, did you allow those twins an audience too? N-No... Bringing those children before the king would be rude. What is this about? How should I describe it? There is a pair of twin girls without any family. They certainly are sensible girls, but there’s a slight issue. I believe they would be inappropriate as our king’s attendants. Wouldn’t wise children be a perfect fit? Well, regardless, we’ll see them and decide for ourselves. Please bring them here. I’ve already brought them here. Gia! You work fast, don’t you?! Unlike our aging elders, I’m always thinking two or three steps ahead for our king. You little whippersnapper! Now, now, please don’t fight. Now then, please summon the twins at once. Yes! It’s a pleasure to meet you, great and mighty king. I am called Caria Elfuur. I’m her big sister. My big sister is Maria Elfuur. N-Nice to meet you. They do seem to be children with a grim history. You there, how did you get those sores? From a disease. Poor girl! My king, this is what I deserve. Allow me to explain for her. The sores were caused by a plague, and even though she’s completely recovered from it, that scar remains. And what about your big sister? My big sister went through something very cruel. Something cruel? I ate Mom. Moltar? It was a hard decision. Their mother was a woman to be proud of. Our clan has never forgotten the sacrifice she made for us. Right... They traveled long and far after being driven from their homes. Of course that meant trials forcing extreme decisions on them too. One of which was starvation. The fact that they have the courage not to cower is appealing, but... My king, you’re white! How so? Hmm, I’m not sure. Maria, was it? Are you willing to take care of me? Yeah! I’ll take care of you, my king! It might be hard, with a lot to learn, but will you do your best? I think I can. Then starting today, you’re a candidate for the leadership of our great Mynoghra. O-Our king! Our king is a having a proper conversation with a little girl! You aren’t afraid? A-As her little sister, I have a duty to stay with my big sister. If that’s what Big Sis wants, then I’ll do my best alongside her. That’s good. That’s very good of you. Then you’ll stay with us too? Y-You can count on me! Our king has granted his permission. From now on, these two shall work to take care of our king. I’ll be counting on you two. My king, there’s something you should know. What is it? To be honest, those two haven’t cried even once since losing their mother. What do you mean? Their hearts remain closed off. I beg you to watch over them with tolerance and mercy. My king, your drink. Thanks. I spilled it. I-It’s all right. K-King! I’ll wipe your clothing! T-Thanks. Again? Now, now. Anyway, we have a meeting now. You two will attend as well. Try to avoid any blunders. Let’s go, then. Yeah. Now, it’s time for our fun domestic affairs. We’ll start with reports on our current situation. Construction manager? Yes, I’m Emle, the one in charge of construction. Now that we have completed the Palace, we have some labor to spare. Our supply of lumber remains steady, so we have plenty of resources too. I believe we can start work on a new facility. I see. Then King Takuto, are we good to proceed with the next Building we discussed last meeting? Yeah. Then, Emle, please start construction of the Clinic next. The Clinic guarantees the health and safety of our citizens and it has a low building cost, so it’s the best option at present. As you command. I’ll convey that to the one in charge of the work. Next is the state of our Resources. Who’s in charge? Oh! Th-That’s me! We really are lacking staff. I’m also in charge of Resources. Our domestic collection of Food and Materials is proceeding smoothly. With the aid of our king, we’re also able to provide the daily necessities we can’t produce. However, since that still consumes Mana, our balance between input and output is a little poor there. Using Mana on Emergency Production is just too convenient, isn’t it? Still, it’s a necessary expense, so we’ll keep using it. We’ll want to prioritize Buildings and Research that increase the production of Mana. Good work managing that too. Thank you very much. Now that the topic of Mana has come up, let’s discuss our Research. We’ve completed Research on Military Magic. I’m the only one capable of using it at present, but my subordinates will eventually be able to use it with more training. I believe that casting powerful magic with the Ruin Mana being provided by the Palace will be crucial for our future! Though, given our king’s policies, I doubt we’ll be using it very proactively. That’s true. Ruin’s military magic is quite useful, but it has absolutely no use in domestic affairs. For our Research, let’s also proceed as planned and move on to the Six Major Elements in the Magic Tree. There isn’t much merit to be had from researching anything else yet. It does mean we’ll be slanted towards magic, but specializing in a particular field is an orthodox national strategy. Lastly, that brings us to our military. Head Warrior Gia reporting in. We have a total of five new Long-legged Bugs added to our forces. They are primarily out surveying the uncharted territory surrounding the Accursed Lands. However, unlike inside the Accursed Lands, the land beyond the forest is all plains. We’re focused on maintaining stealth, so we’re currently unable to make any bold investigations. Good. Our king has been given a detailed report about our surroundings. Considering our need for stealth, please have the Long-legged Bugs assigned to patrolling our periphery. You want me to put all of them on that, then? I’m sufficient for defending our nation for the time being. You witnessed it for yourself, didn’t you? Yes! Furthermore, we’ve officially decided to produce a new Hero. I’m planning to summon Isla, Queen of Bugs. How are we doing on the Resources necessary to produce Isla? I’ll give the report on that. We’ve already secured enough lumber and rations for it, and we’ve finished transporting them to the ritual site. That means Mana is all that’s left. That concludes today’s agenda. King Takuto, what do you think? I have no issues with our plans. You’re all doing incredibly well. I ran into you. W-We’re sorry! Ah... We tore it... It’s all right. King... Hmm? My king, are you a bad person? Well, my alignment is evil. Then why aren’t you killing? Killing who? Us. Huh? U-Uh, well, my king, my big sister is asking why our great and mighty king is showing children like us such mercy. B-Because you’re taking care of me? Big Sis is mad that you’re being so kind when you’re a bad person. Uh... Hmm... Let me tell you about something! Listen well, okay? A good person is only allowed to do what’s right. They can’t hurt others, and they can’t steal things from others either. Murdering people is out of the question. Yeah! Naturally. Then what about a bad person? What do you think they should do? They have to do bad things! They commit heinous atrocities! You’re wrong. They’re allowed to do anything! They can do good things, and they can do bad things too. You see, bad people are very selfish and free. They’re allowed to believe in what they think is right and ignore what others think as they press on without looking back. That’s what an evil person truly is. So it’s perfectly fine for me to be kind to you two! That’s unfair! Of course it is. I’m a bad person, after all. Won’t you be punished one day? If I kill the good person who comes to punish me first, then I won’t be. What?! You messed up on purpose all those times, didn’t you? Big Sis and I... ...should have died. I see. But you’re afraid of death? They can’t forgive themselves for surviving due to their mother’s death. So they’re seeking salvation through death. I guess they thought that if they did things to anger their king, then I would kill them as punishment. You two are here now for a reason. You’re here because someone did what they had to for you to survive. You understand who that was, don’t you? But it’s painful. It hurts. What did your mother say to you? "Live on." Doing bad things isn’t always wrong. Both of you and your mother did the right thing. Be proud. You two are still here because your mother’s love triumphed over fate. My king, what are we... What are we supposed to do now?! You should live your lives as you please. So your mother’s love will be rewarded, and so your mother can be proud of you. Remember this. You two are free. You’re free to do anything, and you don’t have to do anything for forgiveness. So long as you behave in a way your mother would be proud of, then I’ll praise everything about you. You don’t have to hold it in. King Takuto, our investigation is- Shh! You’ve grown awfully close to them. Yeah, we have grown closer. More importantly, your report! Oh, pardon me. It’s about that city. Shall we go somewhere else? It’s a city of Forngawn, a neutral, multiracial nation composed primarily of humans and beastmen. Apparently, the city is named Dragontan. The nation uses a parliamentary system run by shamans known as "Staff Holders." A multiracial nation will incorporate several cultures and ideologies, so diplomacy should be promising. Yes. Though this is a rather remote city. I wonder why they built a city in a place like this? It would cost a great deal to ensure trade and distribution of goods out here. I do have something to report on that front. It would seem there’s a Dragon Vein Mine within the city. Oh? A Dragon Vein Mine is capable of producing Mana, so I believe we should secure it as best we can. Also, it seems Dragontan is currently in a state of high alert. We were only able to observe from afar, but we confirmed attacks from Barbarians like Ogres and Goblins. They seemed to be struggling desperately to respond to them. Do you think they’ll get reinforcements from their homeland? There were none in the regions we were able to observe. The city is in rather detached lands, so they probably can’t send any reinforcements. If they’re under attack, there’s a chance they’re generating refugees. Yes. If we’re able to welcome them in, then we might be able to increase our population. And if we help them, then even the Dragon Vein Mine... Then for our next turn... We’re dispatching diplomats to the neutral nation of Forngawn! You’re not human, are you? Correct. ▶ Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra- World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin S01E07.en-US It’s a city of Forngawn, a neutral, multiracial nation composed primarily of humans and beastmen.

If they’re under attack, there’s a chance they’re generating refugees. Then for our next turn... We’re dispatching diplomats to the neutral nation of Forngawn! You’re not human, are you? Correct. There’s an aura of darkness so thick about them that I can tell from a glance. L-Lady Tonukapoli... Don’t attack them out of panic! This is bad. The beastmen’s instincts are driving my soldiers to fear. Have everyone wait on standby. As you wish. She’s not someone we can beat. Though... If this standoff goes on, then our soldiers might act rashly. Do you mind if I step in?! Good afternoon! My name is Pepe! Could you tell me your name?! This fool! I’m surprised you would seek an audience with our king as well. We had only just sent a delegation to Dragontan ourselves. So that’s why we happened upon each other? That’s right, Atou! We actually went through many adventures on our way here! Of course, they were all resolved safely thanks to my actions, Yes. Umm... I’m so sorry, Lady Atou. but I told that hill giant that suddenly attacked us! This boy is a fool. "You scoundrel, daring to invade Forngawn!" Oh, are you sure about leaving your men behind? Yeah. "Face my magic!" This miasma is a bit too harsh for our soldiers, Then I hit it dead-on! so I’ll have them wait outside. A real solid blow! That hill giant was so pathetic. Now, we’re about to meet the king this exceptional monster adores. It gave me this dumbfounded look. Well, anyway, point is, if I wasn’t there, it would have destroyed Crescent Moon. I wonder what’s awaiting us. This is our great and powerful king, King Ira Takuto. We’re in trouble. I can’t get a full measure of him. It’s like he’s darkness itself! Well, we just had a terrifying thing move into the neighborhood. Who would have thought my choice back then would backfire like this. Grass Tendril Magic! Brave defenders of Forngawn! You can rest easy now! Now that I, a Staff Holder, have arrived- Man, this is awesome! Oh! Master Pepe! We’re saved! The shaman is here to save us! That’s right! Praise me more! Shaman! Shaman! Shaman! Shaman! Shaman?! Quagmire Magic! Grass Tendril Magic! Hurry up and finish it off! R-Right! Look at what happened to you, Pepe! Granny Tonukapoli... Ow! I told you to call me Lady Tonukapoli, not Granny! I’m still a healthy, young 240 years old! Huh? Really? What would be the point of lying about that?! Honestly... You’re the only young Staff Holder! You should be more aware and act like a leader! I’ll try! Good grief, I’m worried about your future, and we’re about to head to the Accursed Lands too. We are? You weren’t listening to the elders earlier, were you?! They’ve received signs of the apocalypse coming from there, so they told us to go investigate! If these Barbarian attacks keep up, then sooner or later, we’re finished. It’s worse for a detached city like Dragontan since we can’t send the army there. We don’t know if the cause of these attacks is in the Accursed Lands, so we need to hurry. Now let’s hurry up and prepare for our journey! I see! Take care, then! You’re coming with me too! If I had just ignored the elders and left Pepe behind... I never would’ve brought this child to such a dangerous place. Nice to meet you! My name is Pepe! Please be my friend! Pepe! F-Friend?! P-Please forgive him! Pepe was nervous, so- Friends... Sure. We’re friends now. Let’s all get along. Huh?! Yay! Congratulations on making your very first friend, King Takuto! Now, applause! Yeah! Man... This... is outrageous. Here you go. Oh, thank you. This is... Our nation of Mynoghra prides itself on that being the tastiest drink in the world! I can’t believe something so sweet exists in this world. I’ve never seen such high-quality dishware before either. What kind of drink is this?! It’s apple juice! Another, please! This is really, really good! You have amazing muscles! You’ve trained a whole lot, haven’t you?! Huh? Uh... Oh, watch this! My magic is amazing! Oh? Pepe’s social skills are amazing. He’s already started fitting in with everyone. I could never pull that off. But friends, huh? It’s my first time having one, so I don’t know what I should do! Still, these are also important talks with Forngawn. I’d like to avoid getting drawn into their pace. I also need to show friendly intentions to prove that we’re not hostile. All right! Pepe! W-Want to play a game with me? Everyone’s giving me a stilted reaction. That sounds great! Let’s do it! Here I go! I win! I’ve never played a game like this before. This feels fresh to me. Let’s go another round, Pepe. Sure thing! Let’s play again! I won’t lose this time. Man, you’re a strong opponent! You picked this up fast for a new player, Pepe. Your apple juice is delicious, and this game is fun too. I’m glad I came to Mynoghra! I know! Please sell this to our country! I bet everyone would enjoy it! Pepe! You can’t just- Sure. We were planning to open trade anyway, so I’m glad Pepe brought it up. Though there are things I need to confirm before ironing out the details. It’s been very fun playing with a friend. But from here, it’s time for national diplomacy. That’s so good! Ow! You’re getting too relaxed! By the way, Lady Tonukapoli... Hmm? What is it, Lady Atou? I wanted to ask what reason you had for coming to our lands. She’s brought it up. The truth is, lately, our country has been repeatedly attacked by Barbarians. That’s odd. Barbarians should generally avoid large cities. That’s true. But they’re coming in incredible hordes. We came here, in part, to further our investigation. So you’re lacking in military might. Did he uncover that from my attitude? This is bad. We won’t be able to negotiate if he knows our weakness. Well, we’re able to manage driving them off. It’s just that their behavior is odd. So better safe than sorry, you know. That’s true. It sounds a bit too troublesome to ignore. Yeah. Well, two of our strongest forces, our Staff Holders, have been sent to investigate. I hope you’ll see that as a sign of our confidence. It certainly makes sense. Huh? What’s wrong? I thought we were sent to out to investigate because our country will perish if we don’t find a way to deal with them. How could you?! Did I say something wrong? Lady Tonukapoli, you have my sympathies. Hmm? We have no intention of bringing harm to Forngawn. I’m grateful to hear that, but... You might suspect that evil beings like us are up to something, but our greatest interest is always directed inward. In short... Nothing beats peace! Yes. Mynoghra is an evil nation that loves peace! I see. As for your Barbarians... If Dragontan falls, then we’re next. So this matter concerns us too. Are you willing to help us then? We went to great effort to build that city for the Dragon Vein Mine. We would certainly appreciate the help, but... What do you think, my king? Friends should help each other. I knew you’d get it, Takuto! So, what do you desire in return? Thanks to this fool’s slip, you could take advantage of us as much as you wanted. The Dragon Vein mine then. So you saw through it all from the start, then? We’re perfectly happy with joint control of it. It’s not like we need such a vast supply of Mana at present. Though we would like the right to designate which element it’s converted to. You want to convert the Dragon Vein Mine’s pure Mana into specific elements? That’s a technology that’ll take us ten more years to develop, but I take it you’ve already researched it? King Ira Takuto, Lady Atou. Pepe’s, well, he’s a fool. He’s the greatest fool among us! However, this child is still our nation’s future. He’ll eventually lead Forngawn as a representative of the Staff Holders. Plus, Pepe is the best judge of character in all of our nation. So- Pepe! You decide! You have that right as a Staff Holder. Come on, Granny. I said it from the beginning, didn’t I? I want us to be friends with the people of Mynoghra. Now, let’s reaffirm and discuss the decisions made during our latest negotiations. Emle? Yes. We’ve agreed to export provisions and toys to Forngawn. In return, we’ll be importing daily necessities and metal goods. It will be a relief to have those since we’ve been relying on our king for them. Yes. Also, our biggest gain is obtaining access to the Dragon Vein Mine. Sir Pepe’s slip was most fortuitous. Though his rashness is slightly concerning. That’s true. Though if it weren’t for Pepe... Then our talks would have probably ended in much more innocuous terms. Something as tepid as "Let’s take our time learning about each other." If that was the outcome, we wouldn’t be able to aid Dragontan in time. But what if he said that because he was thinking that far ahead? King Takuto? Let’s set Pepe aside for now. I think he’ll be fine. Yes. Then getting back on track, let’s decide our policy on future relations with Forngawn. Umm? Yes? Feel free to speak your mind. What kind of country is Forngawn in the first place? We don’t know. Thank you! Yes, good question, indeed. In order to develop international relations, we need to learn more details about their values and customs. That’s a blind spot for me, since the game never concerned itself with those details. In that case, we’ll need to investigate Forngawn first. However... Forngawn’s capital, Crescent Moon, is very far away, so it’ll take time to investigate. Let’s put that on hold for now. We should prioritize Dragontan, since it needs the aid. Understood. However, we’ll need some kind of formal reason to head directly into another nation. We’re going there to play! Uh... That’s what Pepe said, right? That’s right! We can quickly send out a few people to pay our respects before sending a formal delegation. In that case, then may I humbly ask, should I head there myself? Hmm, I think you’re too important for that to work, Moltar. Oh, right. He may just be a wise old man to us, but other nations would see him as the Chancellor and Minister of Magic. There were some unnecessary comments there, but you’re right. In that same vein, Gia would be our General, and Emle our Minister of Domestic Affairs. All of us would be too important for a simple show of respect. We need someone with appropriate status, who we can trust, and who doesn’t hold an official post. We’ll do our best! Isn’t that dangerous?! They’re both candidates for leadership. That’s neither too little nor too great status. I also believe they would be the perfect fit so they can gain experience from this. But isn’t that dangerous?! I’ll go! Our king is worried about what might happen to them if they were to be kidnapped! Lady Atou, you are our king’s most trusted confidant. It would be an even bigger deal if you went. Trusted confidant... Yes, his most trusted confidant couldn’t possibly go! My king. My king, you told us before, right? That we’re free. Yeah. We want to prove useful to you. That’s one thing we wish for with our freedom. But what if something happens to you? We’re willing to take that risk. My king, please. Please, my king! Fine. Yay! M-My king just caved in to the pestering of someone other than me?! Still, my king, sending those two by themselves isn’t... Yeah, no need to worry about that. I have something in mind for their guards. Hmph! I-It’s not what you think, Atou. I didn’t just cave in to their begging... Hmph! You can just abandon me and go on ahead with building your harem! My king! Hmm? You should just tell her what you’re thinking. Uh, Atou... Well, thank you. For thinking about me all the time. I really am sorry about recent events. I didn’t mean to make you worry so much, Atou. I never would have made it this far if I didn’t have you at my side. Oh, it’s nothing. I need you. Please cheer up, Atou. You’re the only one for me, Atou. You’re the only one for me, Atou. Thank you! Y-Yes, King Takuto... This is our Clinic. Where diseases are cured! Correct! The Building Cost is low too, so I had it built. My king, are you sick? I’m not. We’re here because your guard is here. You don’t mean them, do you? Yeah, them! The unit I just produced a little while ago! ▶ Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra- World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin S01E08.en-US This is our Clinic. Where diseases are cured! Correct! The Building Cost is low too, so I had it built. My king, are you sick? I’m not. We’re here because your guard is here. You don’t mean them, do you? Yeah, them! Are you in? Oh! It’s our great and mighty king, King Ira Takuto! We’re honored to have you visit us here! What an auspicious day! Please, command us as you wish! Their enthusiasm is sufficient. They pass as subordinates of King Takuto. Yeah, I produced them to prepare for the worst, but I’ve just had them standing by until now. I figure they’d be perfect for the task. That’s true. Given their abilities, they’ll be adequate guards. I never thought we’d be using them so soon though. Um... My king, who are these people? They’re Medics. They not just treat injuries and diseases, but they can also fight to protect you. Medics! Our great king, King Ira Takuto, has words for all of you. Pay close attention! Yes, ma’am! You are to protect these two as they head to Dragontan, and observe the culture and the current state of that land! O-Oh! Culture! Observation! Protecting! What a human thing to do! We graciously accept this most honorable mission! We shall all behave as humans! And complete this mission perfectly! After all, we are exemplary, model humans! So carrying out tasks in a human manner... is our forte! Forte! They’re quite enthusiastic. This is a good opportunity too, so maybe I should do something king-like? You three. Yes! Please give us your commands, my king! It’s a little early, but I’ll grant you a reward for protecting these two and following their orders. A reward?! Yeah. I’ll grant you names. Human names. You would give us human names?! Ichiro. Jiro. Saburo. You may go by those names from now on. Oh! Oh! In this world, units have individuality, unlike in the game. They’re obsessed with humans too. So acknowledging that individuality will likely... Ichiro! Let us honor this blessing of names by completing our mission perfectly! Indeed, Jiro! That would truly be a human thing to do! Do not forget about me, Saburo! Or me either! Did I go too far? Perhaps. W-What do you think, Caria? Are you okay? Y-Yes. Um, we’ll do our best. If you’re ever in trouble, please feel free to ask me anything. T-Thank you, Atou. Human! Human! Human! Human! I’m done with this! There’s too much work to be done as mayor! And here I thought I finally managed to snag a life of freedom from that stiff, prim and proper elven nation! I thought I’d fall in love with a handsome man and live happily ever after with him while building a happy family! This whole world can perish! Right now! With all of its couples! What do you mean, I’m supposed to work with the forces of darkness to protect the city?! I’ve never even heard of this Mynoghra! Excuse me, Mayor Antik. What?! Oh. What did you need? Oh, well... There are some people who wish to meet you, Mayor. Huh? Visitors? Do they have an appointment? They do not. That so? Then send them away. My time is more precious than gold. Anyone who interrupts me should die! H-However, Mayor... What?! They say they’re emissaries from Mynoghra. Start with that! That makes this the highest priority! Welcome to Dragontan. I’m Antelise Antik, and I serve as its mayor. Wh-What’s with this aura? Why did the Staff Holders join forces with these things? Are they idiots? I’m grateful that you traveled all this way to visit. I’m Caria Elfuur of Mynoghra. This is my big sis, Maria Elfuur. I’m her big sis! Well, well, how polite of you. Dark Elves... I had been told that Mynoghra had welcomed them in as citizens, but I wonder what kind of people these girls are? The three behind them warrant caution. Long ago, I heard about Dark Elf assassins... Um? Oh, I’m sorry for staring! I wish I could have welcomed you properly, but your visit was so sudden... No, that’s fine. Yeah, yeah. I appreciate that. What are these children doing as emissaries? It feels like there’s something more to these sisters... Hmm? Elfuur? Didn’t Lady Tonukapoli mention something? There was a pair of sisters named Elfuur who the king is personally educating to become that nation’s future leaders. Geh?! W-What’s the matter?! Croak? These two are incredibly major figures! What are these children doing here?! If I mishandle them at all, it could become a major issue! Wh-What b-b-business brings you to our city? Uh! Well?! My lady, may I? Oh, yes. What is it, Jiro? Mayor Antik. Yes?! Our current visit is in response to the invitation from Master Pepe, the Staff Holder, to come and play. We are essentially students visiting to learn about life in another nation. O-Oh? That’s what this is? One could say this is but the first step to ensure a smooth exchange in the future, so please understand that this is merely a greeting. A greeting? Yes. These young ladies are still young and learning. We would appreciate it if we could avoid official talks. Is that so? So you’re not visiting to negotiate any agreements, then! We are not. If you would, kindly consider us simple tourists... Isn’t that right, young ladies? That’s right! That’s right! Yeah, yeah! Thank goodness! It’s just a meet and greet! Though I’ll need to be careful not to offend these girls. In that case, please feel free to take in the sights of our city! If you’d like, I could show you around. Really?! You’d show us around, Mayor?! Yes! I’m very familiar with every corner of this city, after all. I need to get along with these girls and ensure they leave with a good impression! It’s crucial for future negotiations to go well! Shall we get going, then? Yes! I get to ditch work! We have many different goods available. Over here too. The food at this stall isn’t very good, so I wouldn’t. Let’s go! Perky boobies. Thank goodness. It looks like it’s going well. King Takuto! Your hands aren’t moving. Sorry, sorry. Farewell, then! Miss Antelise is a kind person. Now, let’s review today’s investigation. Big Sis, how did it seem to you? Anxious. "I have no food." "The enemies outside are scary." "No one’s coming to save us." "What are we going to do?" That’s awfully specific. Big Sis is sensitive to the emotions of others, so she can get a vague idea of how they feel. Oh! To have such a power! I see! So that’s why she wanted this. What is that? Something my lady Maria asked me to buy for her while we were going through the city this afternoon. I got it in secret! Grass? Is this Popil Grass? It has its nuts too. You’re familiar with this, Lady Caria? It’s a plant that can cause powerful euphoria and hallucinations. Nearly every nation has banned its use, possession, and cultivation. Ah, a narcotic? That’s no good, young lady. Go throw that away. Toss! It’s in good shape and too free of bug holes to be a wild plant. It was probably grown by someone. And that’s circulating the markets of Dragontan? That’s dangerous business. Let’s go! All when Miss Antelise is working so hard too... It sounds like we’ll need to be cautious, even when we’re sightseeing. Yes, Saburo. Make sure to protect the young ladies! I would like to avoid any conflicts... But humans love conflict. Wh-What?! It’s cold. Young ladies, this is the Dragon Vein Mine. It has been cleverly concealed with the soil, but it seems they couldn’t hide it all. It’s pretty. Caria, Maria. This world is filled with lots of pretty things and places that you don’t know about yet. The Popil Grass grows well in this place. Please forgive me for imposing, emissaries of Mynoghra. I run a business here in the city. My name is Vesta Kurklain. Thank you for the introduction. So what did you wish to discuss with us? I’m a merchant, so of course, I’d like to discuss business. I’ve heard that this land will be jointly contrlled by your nation. So, how about it? Would you be willing to cultivate Popil Grass here with me? What’s the benefit for Mynoghra? What should I report to our king? Popil Grass fetches a high price. You would be given a portion of those earnings. Of course, I’d prepare other offerings as well. Other offerings... like what? This isn’t a good place to discuss that further. Please come to this location after sundown today. We’ll go into details there. It’s nice dealing with people who are evil-aligned. You’re always quick to understand. The current mayor is so inflexible that it makes things difficult. I’m sure your king would be delighted as well. Now then, I’ll be waiting for you. Time sure flew by, didn’t it? Yes. You’ve really taken good care of us, Miss Antelise. Yeah, yeah! It’s fine, it’s fine. I got to network with you two, after all. We’re not all that important, but I do hope you’ll rely on us if you ever need anything. My, how reassuring to hear! In that case, please make sure you present me in the best light to Mynoghra’s king! Of course! Exciting! Pardon me. Vesta?! Who gave you permission to be here?! Now, now, Mayor. I received permission from the staff. Right? Why you... Now then, young ladies, may I have your response to my previous offer? Huh? You mean the proposal to grow Popil Grass together? Yes. You never stopped by, so I came to hear your reply in person. You’re kidding! These children made a deal with Vesta behind my back?! If the forces of darkness join hands with scum like him, then this city’s finished... What’s the matter? Huh? There’s no way we would work with someone like you. I thought you would understand that when we didn’t show up to respond. That’s quite the protest. Miss Antelise, would it be an issue if we took care of these men? If I acted out of turn and caused a rift between our nations, I wouldn’t be able to face our king. S-Sure! We wouldn’t mind that! Have at them as you please! These guys have been making a mess of my city! Teach them a lesson! How unfortunate, young lady. What’s that? It’s probably a concentrate of Popil Grass extract. I bet a single injection of that will make a person unable to live without it. What?! Do you understand what you’re doing? If you try to lay a hand on us, then you’ll be making an enemy out of Mynoghra. Do you understand how foolish that is? We may be powerless children, but King Ira Takuto, the man who ordered us on this mission, is an incredible king. I’ll be fine. One injection of this and you ladies will follow my commands. After that, I’m sure this perverted pedophile, Ira Takuto, will do as I say without complaint. Huh?! I never thought that unit would prove so useful in this world. Yes, that’s so true. Um, may I ask a question? Why did you send the Medics as their guards? You could have sent our Warriors, right? They absolutely love humans, including closely related demi-humans. Sorry? Because of that, they have some rather unique abilities as a unit. They excel... Both at healing humans and killing them. They love humans, but couldn’t quite become humans themselves. That’s what our Brain Eaters are. How magnificent, Saburo! Yes! Such foolish adherence to their own selfish desires! How truly human! This means that if we peel off their skin and wear it ourselves, then...! We’ll become even closer to being true humans! Wh-What are you people?! Humans! There, there. Don’t be afraid. Please get him already. H-Hold on! You’re all crooks like me, aren’t you?! Please don’t group us together. You have insulted our king. That is the most unforgivable thing you could’ve done. Wh-What? I will not show mercy to Mynoghra’s enemies. I will not show mercy to anyone who harms my big sis. And I will never show mercy to anyone who insults our king. Our king taught us this: Evil people are free to do anything. So with that freedom and approval of our king, I command you- S-Stop! Please kill him! Kill him! As you command! What do you think, young ladies? So human! Human! Miss Antelise... Um, I’m sorry. For making such a mess of your room. Huh? They got carried away. We never thought those birdbrains would go this far. What would you like us to do about the cleaning bill or the cost of new clothes? Th-That’s... not an issue. Don’t worry about it. Thank you so much, Miss Antelise! Oh, this girl... doesn’t think anything of this gruesome scene. Oh my?! The mayor has wet herself! Heavens! We need to show her human thoughtfulness! In which case, let us pee ourselves too! We mustn’t allow the mayor to bear such shame alone! Peeing! Cut it out already, you birdbrains! Human! You can’t go doing that! Are you trying to shame Miss Antelise even further, you birdbrains?! That’s right! You birdbrains are oddballs to the core! Human! But... Messed up. ▶ Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra- World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin S01E09.en-US King Takuto! Why did you allow those two so much freedom?! You were watching them, weren’t you?! Yes. You stopped doing your work just to them with your shared perception, didn’t you?! Yes. You even had plenty of time to warn them with your telepathy, didn’t you?! Well, um... I didn’t want to be too hard on them and make them hate me. They’re both at an impressionable age. Are you their father?! Are you the kind of father who leaves all the annoying lecturing to their mother so you can look good to your children?! And you two! What were you even thinking, conspiring with King Takuto to cover it up?! It’s too late to hide it! Now, you three! Yes?! I hear you actually skinned a person before their mayor’s eyes. We grew one step closer to being human! So human! We obtained a very human skin! Be quiet! I guess the Brain Eaters were a bad influence on them. These two! They eagerly gave these bird brains the orders to do it! My kids are becoming delinquents... I sent them off with extra warnings to adhere to at least the minimum manners. And this is the result! None of you are to move from this spot until you finish your reflection statements! Okay. Now then! Let’s begin the meeting about what to do about Dragontan! I’ll give you some candy. Thank you, my king! Yay! You three! Do you regret what you did at all?! L-Lady Atou, that’s enough. I understand how you feel, but I think moving the meeting along is more important. My goodness, this is all because we didn’t teach those twins well enough. Well... Fine. It’s true that I’m not being as calm as usual. The Dragontan issue does come first. In that case, Elfuur sisters, may we assume your investigation was exactly as described in this report? Yes. We had our king look over it too, so that should be accurate. Hmm. It would seem the city is rather unsettled then. They lack the resources to maintain order, and it seems crime is on the rise. They would likely have face some manner of disturbance sooner or later. On top of that, they’re also facing external attacks from Barbarians. When it rains, it pours. According to this report, they’re facing Goblins, Orcs, and occasionally Hill Giants. Goblins and Orcs aren’t a problem, but losses are unavoidable against Hill Giants. They suddenly appear in groups near the city, steadily increasing by a handful or so every day. What do you mean by "suddenly appear"? It’s probably a result of their impaired ability to detect enemies. Beastmen generally have sharp senses that allow them to quickly detect the approach of enemies, but they’re likely exhausted. Either way, if nothing is done, then it’s only a matter of time before Dragontan falls. I think we should dispatch a large force as soon as possible. I believe our Head Warrior is right on this, but I don’t agree with splitting up our forces. If we send our immediate reserves to aid in defense, then it will strain our construction and farming. In that case, couldn’t we send most of our Warriors? Oh, by the way, I’ll be participating as well, so please keep that in mind. Huh?! I see. Because of your ability to steal skills. Yes, I should be able to steal some useful skills, even from weaklings like these Barbarians. Isn’t that right, King Takuto? Yeah. It’s a good opportunity to improve your strength, so I was planning to have you join them the moment we decided to send troops. In that case, you’ll need a retinue. Please leave that to me. I’m certain I can entrust you with the troublesome negotiations and coordination, but I think we’ll still need a few more men. I’ll bring my apprentices with me. They can handle mundane tasks, but they can also easily defeat Goblins in combat with their magic. Understood. I’ll be counting on you, then. In that case, our Warriors will focus on national defense. Honestly, I’m still a little concerned . Our national defense has relied on Atou’s presence so far. I can’t deny that. To deal with that... We’ll be making the Hero, Isla, the cornerstone of our defense. Oh! We’re nearly finished with production, aren’t we? What perfect timing. Truly a great display of our king’s foresight! You anticipated a situation like this from the moment we began production, didn’t you?! Our king possesses the power to see the future! It’s true this was perfect timing, but it just happened to work out that way. Still... Sometimes, pretending to be almighty is necessary too. Our great king is impressive! Clap, clap, clap! King Takuto, what do you think? Please feel free to comment. I made the right call allowing the Dark Elves to participate in our meetings. This is nothing like when I had to think of everything alone. So long as I’m managing a real civilization, their contributions are vital. Hmm, it’s perfect. It’s a great strategy. Please keep it up. To receive your praise is our greatest delight! I swear to live up to your expectations, my king! Please count on me! Hip, hip, hooray! Saying a few words at the end improved their motivation. Unlike in the game, it’s the role of the leader to draw out their potential. It’s a difficult task, but incredibly rewarding. A new Hero is finally going to be born! Oh, how I’ve long awaited this day! We were forced to ration quite a bit to secure the resources for this, but now that will all pay off. We’ll get to eat our fill! My king, what kind of person is the Hero you’ll be summoning? That’s a surprise to look forward to. Atou, what do you think will happen to Isla? She’s the first Hero we’re summoning since coming to this world. I can’t even begin to predict what will happen. I think it’ll probably be fine though. On the off-chance that she does try to revolt against you, I’ll protect you with my life. I’m able to face this critical moment because you’re with me and willing to go that far. But I wouldn’t be able to resummon you if I lose you, so please don’t sacrifice yourself. King Takuto always prepares for even the slightest risk, but frankly, I think the chances of that are slim. There won’t be any issues. Isn’t that right, Isla? Oh great and mighty king, you do me a great honor by granting me this audience with you here in this place. I am Isla, the one who rules all manner of bugs, and my body is quivering with true joy at the prospect of serving you once more. Isla... It’s been a long time! Do you recognize me? Oh my! Oh my! I see. So that’s what’s going on! Of course I remember you, King Ira Takuto! Allow me to ask to be certain, Isla. Do you truly mean your promise to serve him? Oh my. Silly little Atou! You’re so cute, acting all tough! A-Answer the question! Of course I do. The days I’ve spent with King Takuto have been etched into this body! So you remember me! Yes. You were the only one able to fully draw out my power, after all. I would never forget you. And you were always King Takuto’s most favorite, little Atou! I-I get it, so enough already! By the way, Master, would you be kind enough to explain the current situation to me? Of course. We’ll talk in the palace. I see. So that’s what’s going on. Frankly, there’s tons that I don’t understand, but thanks to Atou, I’ve managed to get this far. Oh, please. It’s only because you were here with me, King Takuto... If I were here by myself, I would have committed suicide. Atou... King Takuto... Oh my. I shouldn’t be watching this. Regardless, I understand our strategy. I’ll protect our peaceful nation in these strange lands. That is the duty you’ve entrusted to me. Yeah. You’re our defense Hero, after all. In which case, our attack Hero will be the one to destroy the Barbarians in the city of Dragontan. Sending me is the best call, but I’ll miss you while I’m out doing it. I’ll miss you too, Atou. But you’re the only one I can ask to handle it. Honestly, I’m real worried. I don’t know if I’ll be able to talk to the Dark Elves without you. We’ve always been together since we came to this world, and now we’ll be apart... King Takuto! Atou! I shouldn’t be watching this. I’m heading out! I promise I’ll come back! Yeah. I’ll be waiting for you. She’s gone. Well then, I suppose I should be getting to work now. I’m counting on you, Isla. I’m raring to go! I’ll do my part so you can enjoy this new game, my great King Ira Takuto! Leave all the details to me! King Takuto, you really can’t do anything on your own, can you? The sun has been up for a while now. I can’t believe you still weren’t up at this hour. What have you been doing up until now? The king always slept in until noon. On days he wasn’t up by noon, either we came to wake him or Atou did. What a big child you’re being. But... No more buts, King Takuto! You are the leader of the great Mynoghra, the King of Ruin! How do you think others will see you if you’re sleeping in until noon and having women come wake you up? Make sure you get up in the morning from now on. I’ll do my best. You’re completely different from Atou. She always lets our king do as he pleases. That reminds me! King Takuto, could I kindly borrow little Caria and Maria for a bit? I don’t mind, but why? I’m not very familiar with Mynoghra’s main facilities yet, so I was hoping to ask them to show me around. So she wants to get a look in person instead of just reading a map to get a solid picture of our national defenses? Yeah, all right. Could I ask that of you two? You can! I’ll graciously accept it. Thank you so much, you two. You’re very good girls, aren’t you? Master, your people will be coming to seek your approval soon, so please look sharp. R-Roger that. Pardon me! Well, we’ll be going now. Going! Yes. I wanted to ask for you to look over the revised assignment of our labor and grant your approval. This might be the first time I’m talking to someone other than Atou alone... Umm, are there any shortcomings in my proposal? No, no, no! It’s all right! I think you’ve done well! Really?! Thank you so much! Yeah, this is good. But starting next week, reduce the manpower assigned to gathering and redirect it. Oh! We’re adjusting how much we gather now that we’re finished summoning the Hero! I’ll be sure to do that! Phew... There’s nowhere to run in a one-on-one conversation... Pardon me! I’ve come to get your approval on the training plan for our Warriors! This is incredibly tiring, but I’ll do my best. Now, would you please be so kind as to tell me everything you know about our facilities? Everything! That’s the government office. It’s where the people file paperwork and reports get written. Nice and orderly. I love that. Oh my, little Emle? You seem busy. Are you all right? Can you believe it? Gia broke our training equipment again! The rate he burns through it is absurd! I’m at my limit trying to scrape together the budget! I’m already insanely busy with Moltar gone too, and he just had to give me more damn work! I’ll give you head pats, so no more filthy language, okay? Ahh, so comforting... And I’ll give our Head Warrior a scolding later. Thank you so much. Also, when you have some time, could I please ask for your advice on our next Building? Yes, if you’re happy with my help. Put your heart into it! Do you think you can protect our king with such sloppy form?! I’m going to retrain you all up from scratch! Before you go retraining them, you should recount your stock of equipment. I-I’m sorry! When I get heated up over my training, I just... Forgetting yourself so quickly is proof that you’re still a child. If you want to protect our king, you need to cultivate a cool head too. Ah, please stop that, Lady Isla... You’re hurting my authority as Head Warrior... Head pats look so nice. Oh my, what’s that sound? Dinner! Let’s all go together, Isla. They’re distributing food, I see. Yes. This is less wasteful than having everyone make their own. I’ll go line up! Lady Isla! If you’ll be eating, then please use these! We went and borrowed the dishware for visiting emissaries. I’m very happy for your consideration, but I’ll use the same dishware you all are. N-No way! That would be disrespectful! I’m a defense Hero. Protecting this nation means protecting its people. I can only fulfill my duty when I’m able to share the perspective and sentiments of our people. What is it, Big Sis? I wonder where those cute twins ran off to? Here! We’re giving it to you! A plate? Oh my! We want you to use it. It’s a special plate that’s the same as everyone else’s! My! My, my! What adorable little girls you are! We finally got you to give us head pats too. We were feeling a little jealous of everyone else. I bet eating from such a lovely dish will be a fantastic treat. I promise to treasure it my whole life. If we were to grow Living Reeds on the border here, we’d have flawless defenses against intruders. Oh, my, my. What’s the matter? It’s well past your bedtime. I woke up. I couldn’t sleep. I see. You too, Maria? Caria was having a bad dream. You’re such a kind big sister, caring for your little sister. Would you like to tell me why you can’t sleep? We have these dreams. Dreams of fun times. Dreams of our mother. I know that we have to move on. But the scenes in our dreams are so warm and comforting. Then we wake up and remember that it’s all gone, and it hurts so much. So whenever one of us is crying from our dreams, the other wakes to be with her. So that’s why. But it’s okay. We have those dreams much less frequently than we used to. Tonight was the first time in a long while. We’re sorry for worrying you. We’ll go back to sleep in a bit. I just had a great idea! Why don’t I sleep with you two from now on? Huh? Uh... Then when you wake up, you’ll at least have me there with you. I’ll always be here for you two. I promise. So warm. Just like those times... So rest easy. Now, come sleep in your Isla’s arms. After discussing matters with little Emle, I’m recommending the Learning Institute as our next Building. That sounds good to me. It’s one we can’t do without anyways, so we’ll plan to build the Living Reeds after that. Yes. The Forest gives the Dark Elves an advantage, and Cursed Terrain gives all evil beings an advantage. Plus, I’m here, so we should be good for a while. It’s not like we’re actively at war right now either. So there’s no need to hasten strengthening our defenses. By the way, something little Caria said helped me make up my mind. What was that? Oh, it just made my heart flutter! I want to learn a lot more so I can be more useful to our king. That’s what she said. That reminds me, Master. What’s going on with little Atou now? It looks like she’s in a pretty amusing situation. ▶ Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra- World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin S01E10.en-US Oh great and mighty king, you do me a great honor by granting me this audience with you here in this place. Now, would you please be so kind as to tell me everything you know about our facilities? We want you to use it. It’s a special plate that’s the same as everyone else’s! We have these dreams. Dreams of fun times. Dreams of our mother. Then we wake up and remember that it’s all gone, and it hurts so much. I just had a great idea! Why don’t I sleep with you two from now on? I’ll always be here for you two. So rest easy. Now, come sleep in your Isla’s arms. What’s going on with little Atou now? It looks like she’s in a pretty amusing situation. Yes, yes, good hunting. I’m finished. Th-Thank you! Thank you so much! Um, Mayor Antelise? Y-Yes?! What is it?! Oh, that reminds me, I became good friends with the Elfuur sisters from your nation! Err, not that there’s any reason to tell you that right now! P-Perhaps you should rest a bit? You can leave matters here to me. I-In that case! I’ll gladly do that! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! King Takuto... I want to go home to Mynoghra already... Here you go. Thank you. We’ve really integrated well with these people. I thought they would be more fearful of us, but I suppose we have Sir Pepe to thank. Wow! You’re like an octopus! Octopus? Octopus? It’s kind of octopus-like. She’s an octopus! Excuse me! That’s not- That’s so reassuring! Atou, I’ll be entrusting Dragontan to you! Since I have to return to Crescent Moon! Later! Hey! Pepe?! Why was he calling me an octopus? Well, refuting it is too much trouble, so I don’t care anymore... But really, an octopus? By the way, Lady Atou. What is it? How goes your plundering of abilities from those Barbarians? Oh, that’s proceeding smoothly. Despite being weaklings, that lot has better abilities than they deserve. Well, well, I’m sure our king will be delighted to hear that. Yes! Yes! King Takuto already praised me for it! And when I get home, I’ll have him praise me even more! That’s a Hill Giant, isn’t it? Moltar? There were no signs of magic. I didn’t even sense the use of Mana. I’d like to uncover the trick behind these sudden appearances soon. As things stand now, I’ll never be able to return to King Takuto. Indeed. Atou! There’s a Hill Giant! I have the archers preparing quickly- There’s no need. I’ll be enough by myself. But then- Atou?! You don’t need to worry about her against something that weak. That weak?! Lady Atou is a Hero. That said, just watching would be rather dull. Perhaps I’ll go put these old bones to work a bit too. Elder Moltar, what are you...? Land of Ruin! What was that?! Let’s just say it’s a national secret. Elder Moltar, huh? What a clever move. Good afternoon. Die. These Holy Sword Arts really are handy. Huh?! Gold coins? Yes. When I defeated the Hill Giant just now, its corpse disappeared, and in its place... Its corpse disappeared? Yes. I asked Elder Moltar as well, but he said this was a first for him too. He even said that he had never seen the gold coins before either. Atou, I’ll use Shared Perception. I want to check something. This crest... Where have I...? Brave Questus! Master? Our enemy is an RPG! How awful. Damn Witch! How many cities does she intend to destroy?! There might be survivors. Let’s search for them. Roger tha-! Rattle, roll, rattle, roll. Life is all just killing time. We die and die and die, so let’s have fun dying again! Hey there, Sainty! Nice to meet you, and long time no see! You doing well? The Slurping Witch, Erakino. We’ve executed divine judgment upon you seventeen times already, and they all succeeded thanks to our sacrifices. So why won’t you just die? Well, I am dying! You’ve killed me seventeen times, right?! So I’ve died seventeen times! Uh-huh! Then how are you still here? I wonder how, too! I mean, aren’t you a bit too strong, Sainty? I’m rather on the strong side myself, despite how I may look, you know? Yet you’ve killed me every time. I’m starting to wonder if you’re a death flag for me. Why do I need over fourteen every time? You’re trying to accomplish something, aren’t you, Erakino? I still don’t know what that might be yet. However, that power has something to do with your resurrections, doesn’t it? This is the problem with a goody-two-shoes. Oh well! Come on, all of my simps! It’s your turn! What an atrocity. Go on! Charge! You’re sentenced to a blooming burial! No way! You really are too strong, Sainty. This game’s too hard. Slump. The eighteenth time. This should at least buy us some time for a while. Holy God Arlos, what is going on here? Where did such a huge army come from?! M-Messengers! Hurry up and inform Mayor Antelise! Our enemy is the orthodox JRPG Brave Questus. You play as the Hero and go on an adventure with your party to defeat the final boss, the Demon Lord, and save the world. It’s a famous game that’s said to be the progenitor of most PC RPGs. An RPG? Then you mean the reason they suddenly appeared was- Yeah. Because there’s no warning for the random encounters with enemies in Brave Questus. I’m thinking they took advantage of that. I had feared there might be other beings similar to us, but I never expected they’d come from an entirely different genre of game. The odds were likely enough. "Witches." That information we gained from that paladin revealed the name of a unit that was never part of Eternal Nations. Still, Master, you’ve played Brave Questus before, right? So that means you already know how we can conquer our enemy. Exactly. Atou, can you hear me? Of course, King Takuto! I’m going to tell you how to conquer our enemy now. Yes! Go forth and conquer. Flamin, did the Demon Lord issue any orders? Yeah, he did, Ice Rock! Same as always. Nothing new! I see. All the monsters, all the tactics! They’re all free for us to command as we please! What?! Such faith in us must be rewarded! We have been most fortunate though. After we were suddenly summoned to this land, all of its Orcs and Goblins have joined our Demon Lord’s forces. The world may be different, but our Demon Lord’s majesty hasn’t waned! Yes, as expected from our great ruler. He’s truly the one fit to govern this world. What’s wrong? If I may ask a foolish question, what happened to our ambitions for the world we came from? None of that even matters, does it, Ice Rock? Our priority right now is carrying out the Demon Lord’s orders, right? Indeed. Forgive me. All forces, charge! We’ll wipe out that city and offer the despair and suffering of its people up to our Demon Lord! What will you be doing? I’ll pass. You can have the honor of leading them. I see. Many thanks! Well, now... Time for me to go, so I can see to my own goals. Crush them in one fell swoop! What?! What happened?! We believe it was our enemy’s spell! A spell?! Impossible! Such a large-scale spell doesn’t exist! I find it hard to believe as well, but... The Orcs and Goblins are suffering, while pure Demons like us are gaining strength? Is this spell the work of someone aligned with evil forces? Sir Ice Rock, we believe this spell is the work of the Hero. Silence! Do not speak that name! The Hero? Oh? So you all really are from an RPG. Why, you! Who are you?! The warrior of ice? Then you must be Ice Rock, one of the Four Generals? How do you know my name?! Answer me, wench! Who are you?! I come from the 4X strategy game, Eternal Nations. I serve our great and mighty king, King Ira Takuto, and I am known as Sludge Atou. I am the one who will slaughter you all! Bring out every arrow we have! Evacuate the citizens to the northwestern blocks! Once we’ve secured an escape route, we’ll abandon the city! There’s no need for you to go that far. Elder Moltar! You have us here on your side. We’re facing a huge army! They’re in disarray from your spell right now, but that’s just stalling them! Our current forces can’t hope to repel them! Huh? That would be Lady Atou. Atou did that? Yes. That woman is the proud Hero of Mynoghra. Now that she’s taken to the battlefield, there’s no chance of defeat. I’m certain she’ll claim the head of our enemy’s general. Without their general, such an army is but a mob of riffraff. We can neutralize them easily enough with our current forces. So this... is Mynoghra? Why, you! It’s just as King Takuto predicted. Their attack range? Yeah. Battles in RPGs are between parties of small numbers. But in our 4X strategy game, combat is on the scale of armies. So a unit’s attacks target the entirety of an enemy’s army. This difference should work greatly to our advantage. It doesn’t matter that you’ll be facing a large army. Atou, they’re no match for you! Why do you interfere?! You are evil as well! You should be bowing before our Demon Lord and join us in spreading his reign to the world! What? Spread his reign to the world? Oh, you’re talking about world conquest, right? Yes! We seek to create a world for us Demons! One without humans! What would be the point of doing that? It’s already rough enough with the mountain of work I have to handle now. And that’s just for a normal nation. Yet you want the world? Do you love doing paperwork that much? Paper...? Huh? You don’t understand? Oh, I get it. Your character background wasn’t very fleshed out, was it? No one cares about an RPG’s mid-boss once they’re defeated after all. Ahr...? What have you been blathering about?! Oh? You should remember that part, shouldn’t you? You’ve been defeated over and over and over again, haven’t you? By the Hero? Silence! Silence! Silence! I knew it! You do remember it, just like we do. By the way, I’d like you to tell me something. How does it feel to exist solely to be defeated? No! No! No! No! You still continue to deny it?! How laughable! My name is! Ice Rock, the Frost General! I am the one who crushes all who oppose our great and mighty ruler! All who defy the Demon Lord! Ha! The Demon Lord?! The world has only one king- our King Ira Takuto! Come at me! Unleash whatever you believe is your strongest attack, and suffer pathetic defeat! Take this! Glacial Decapitation! Fool. There’s no way such a broadcasted strike would hit. Impossible! There’s no way so little ice would halt my movement! Did you see that? That was my most powerful strike! To think that’s not enough to defeat you... Die! Long live... the Demon Lord... What a shameful mess! I’m supposed to be King Takuto’s hero! And what was that?! That attack at the end?! That was just impossible! Huh? Huh? Guaranteed to hit? That’s cheating! So this is what it means to fight a different genre of game. The enemies are operating under different mechanics than we are. How troublesome. Either way, it’s time to report! King Takuto, I’m finished! The enemy was one of the Four Generals, and while I took a slight blow, I finished him off proper- Huh?! There’s an enemy in Mynoghra?! ▶ Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra- World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin S01E11.en-US Long live... the Demon Lord... What a shameful mess! I’m supposed to be King Takuto’s hero! Either way, it’s time to report! King Takuto, I’m finished! The enemy was one of the Four Generals, and while I took a slight blow, I finished him off proper- Huh?! There’s an enemy in Mynoghra?! What a beautiful, wonderful land. All of this... My king! Enemy forces have entered the Accursed Lands! Yeah, I know. Please forgive me. Given the situation, I thought I should report to be sure. It’s all right. Our king has the power to know everything that happens within his domain. Our main forces, including Gia, are already on the move. We’ll be moving to the residential area as well, so you should make haste back to your post. Yes! Understood! My king... Are things bad? No, we’re fine. Master has me here, after all. There’s nothing to be worried about. It is a little unpleasant though. Yes. I didn’t think they would attack us here. What shall we do? There’s a chance that the enemy’s leader, this "Demon Lord," is another player like you, Master. So what if they are? It doesn’t matter if they’re a player or not. Peace between us would be difficult at this point. Atou’s already taken down one of their Four Generals too. We’ll crush them with our full might, Isla. As you command, my king. Now then, let’s launch our counterattack. Let’s confirm our forces. First, we have you, Isla. Yes. I will not bring shame to my title of Defense Hero. Next, we have the Dark Elf Warriors led by Gia. There aren’t many of them, but their morale is at its peak. We also have the Brain Eaters. We only have three of them, but they possess healing abilities. I believe they’ll prove reliable in this situation. Human! Lastly, we have the Larvae you’ve given birth to. I gave birth to Larvae intended for labor, but they should be able to fight to some degree. My presence here will supplement their abilities after all. Perhaps I should have anticipated this and birthed some Combat Larvae. There’s no point in thinking about that now. That’s right! Everyone is grateful to the Larvae! Uh-huh! Oh my, thank you girls. Let me give you a hug in thanks! My king. Emle? What is it? We’ve completed the evacuation of those who won’t join the battle. Good work. We’ll be heading there too, so we’ll join you there later. Understood. I’ll be waiting for you! Yeah. My king. Gia? I have a rough estimate on the number of enemies who entered the Accursed Lands. Both Emle and Gia are able to think for themselves and act without directions from me. This never would have happened in the game. I have reliable people working under me. My king? Oh, I’m sorry. So how many? I can see roughly a thousand enemies have invaded the Accursed Lands. In addition to Goblins and Orcs, I’ve also spotted some grotesque, unfamiliar creatures. You’ve done well. Thank you. Continue focusing on defending the area around our capital. I’ll deal with the enemies. Understood. A thousand enemies, huh? That’s certainly a lot. There’s probably one of the Four Generals too. This is looking to be a tough battle. However, O great and mighty king, you’ve already determined our strategy, haven’t you? Moments like these are precisely what our Mana Resources are for. We’re facing an RPG. It’s time to show them the strength of a 4X game. By which you mean creating Units with Emergency Production? Using that, you could easily overturn the difference in numbers. Being able to produce all the Units we want as long as we have Mana is an awfully advantageous mechanic for us. Isla. I’m granting you the entirety of Mynoghra’s Mana reserves. What? Raise your level as much as possible. Be sure to acquire the skills Predation and Parasitic Eggs. Then use that power to overrun... all of our enemies! My, my, my! What a mean and spiteful person you’re being! Entrusting me with everything during this crisis! I already have a general grasp of our foe’s power from the battle in Dragontan. Even if one of the Four Generals is there, you should be plenty capable of dealing with them now. Will you show me why you’re known as our Defense Hero? Yes, as you wish. Isla, Queen of Bugs, shall live up to your expectations and thoroughly defeat all of our foes for you. I’m sure you’ll be fine, but be wary of any attacks rooted in RPG mechanics. That reminds me. They did catch Atou off guard, didn’t they? I understand. I’ll be quite careful. Mother... Don’t give me that look. I’ll make sure I come home. I promised you, right? Yeah! We’ll take care of the king and wait for you! Please do. Yes! Now then, I’ll be heading out! Man, this is one creepy forest. Why did we have to split away from Sir Ice Rock and invade this place on our own? About that... Huh? There’s a good chance this operation doesn’t have the Demon Lord’s permission. Huh?! The boss might be planning to betray the Demon Lord. Seriously?! Why would he do that? Do you remember when we first came to this world? Yeah. One moment, we were all here in the same place. Right? Apparently, it was different for the boss and the Demon Lord. Hmm? Scouts? Wait! Something’s off. Wh-What’s happening to me? What happened to you?! I-I... Halt right there! What are these things?! Shit! Retreat! Fall back and regroup! Y-Yeah! My, my, how pathetic. Who’s there?! Retreating over just this? You all are part of the Demon Lord’s army, the forces of darkness, aren’t you? Where are you?! Show yourself! If you’re the forces of darkness, then you need to be more beautiful, ruthless, and thorough. Hmm... They’re not very nutritious, are they? I suppose I’d give them a thirty. I’m talking about your minions, you know? Uh-huh, that’s an awful thing to say about ’em. Introduce yourself, freak. I serve the kingdom of Mynoghra, governed by the great King of Ruin, King Ira Takuto. I am one of its Heroes, Isla, Queen of Bugs. And you are? One of the Demon Lord Army’s Four Generals, Flamin, the Flame Demon. The Four Generals! There really was one here! Huh? I thought there must be one of the leaders here with an army of this size. Just like Ice Rock was there in Dragontan. So what, that guy got taken out? Well, I ain’t surprised. He was just a muscle-head anyway. Oh my, he was one of your allies, wasn’t he? What an awful way to speak of him. He was always the weakest of us Four Generals. I’ve got a good two steps up on him. So if you’re thinking I’ll go down just as easily, you’re dead wrong. Well, well, you sound awfully confident in yourself. Yeah. It’ll be a cinch for me to murder you and drag that big shot behind you off his throne. What’d you call him again? King Ira Takuto, was it? That’s quite a bark for a piece of trash. Don’t get cocky, fly. So it’s started. Isla is currently engaged with the Flame Demon, Flamin. When you pit an RPG character against those from a 4X game, the 4X game characters are overwhelmingly stronger in combat. We’ve already confirmed that in the battle at Dragontan. It’s only a matter of time before she defeats him. The Larvae not participating in the fight against Flamin are patrolling the Accursed Lands and defeating the invaders. Gia and the Warriors are deployed in defensive formations around the capital. Emle is handling the Dark Elves who evacuated. The Brain Eaters are standing by close at hand. Everything’s going smoothly... at least in theory. Hmm... My king? What are you thinking about? I wonder what it is? Something is nagging at me... Hmm, is anything sticking out to you two? Damn, man! This is totally crazy! Didn’t know there were freaks like you in this world! Calling me a freaks is quite rude, you know. It’s certainly not a term you should be using with a woman. Don’t you agree? Cheeky bitch! It ain’t fair if you get to be the only one with pawns! Summoning them at no cost? Now that’s very much cheating. Might I ask you a question? Huh? We’re trying to kill each other here. Now, don’t be like that. My master wishes to know. Why did you attack us? Hey, now! What the hell?! You got no standards?! Splitting your forces away from Dragontan to attack us seems like a foolish strategy, doesn’t it? You want to know why?! Don’t you know? Or is your boss just hiding it from you all? Either way, I feel sorry for you, damn! Thank you for the warning. However, words like that aren’t going to shake my loyalty. I knew that already! And you? What do you think about yourself? I don’t quite understand the intent of your question. I take it you harbor doubts about your own state of being. Just answer the damn question! I am a Hero of Mynoghra, and the loyal servant of our king, King Ira Takuto. Nothing more, and nothing less. I hate that shit! Oh my, what do you hate so much about that? You call yourself his servant, but you’re so goddamn full of pride and conviction! Huh? That’s it. That’s why I’m so pissed off. It’s because you all are free. You serve your king of your own volition, and it’s your own choice to dedicate your loyalty to him. Hey, how’s that feel, anyway? Serving someone of your own free will? Ahh, so that’s what the issue is. "Blissful" sums it up nicely. Nothing brings me greater joy than proving useful to my master. So? What about you, Mister Puppet, forced to dance to the strings of the role imposed upon you? It feels shitty as hell! However! Once I kill you- kill all of you here- then I’ll obtain it too! I’ll get my freedom! I see. So that’s your intention then. Ah... How lovely! You’re quite charming right now! Can it, fly! Burn up and be gone already! Got you! Is that it? That’s the extent of your thirst for freedom? Don’t you dare mock me! That’s just not enough. If you truly want to kill me, you’ll need to prepare at least five times more. You’re out of MP, aren’t you? I have one final message for you from my master. He says, "You took us too lightly." Is that true? We’ll really obtain peace and freedom? If we offer up this world? Ah, in the end... I guess I’m nothing but a puppet? In that case... I’ll dance my part until the very end! Phew. Good work, Isla. Oh my, Master! If you’re speaking to me, then that means you were watching, weren’t you? Yeah, you were splendid. Thank you very much. I gained another level from this battle as well. I’m thinking of obtaining a new skill- Huh?! Huh?! What’s happening? Huh? Mother? What are you two doing here?! We don’t know! We were just with our king, s-so why? My children! Protect those girls! ▶ Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra- World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin S01E12.en-US Huh? Mother? What are you two doing here?! We don’t know! We were just with our king. H-How did we... They vanished? That shouldn’t be possible. Caria, can you hear me? Caria, Maria, Isla! Respond! Why not?! My children! Protect those girls! Wha?! Brain Eaters! If you can hear me, then come here right now! O great and mighty king! Our leader, Ira Takuto! Please respond to my voice! Is everything okay? What should we do? You needn’t worry. Let’s start by getting out of here. Huh? No way! Sucks for you! I ain’t going to die here! How?! I’m certain I killed you! You can’t kill me now. Hell, I’m already dead anyway! Auto-Defend? Event in progress? The events Brave Questus’ Flamin was involved in were... You thought you won, didn’t you? Fool! Be quiet! Mother... My, my, you’re such a worrywart. It’s all right. I won’t allow him to lay a hand on you two. How tear-jerking. Such heartwarming love. Don’t be so mad now. Let’s enjoy this time like the dumbasses we are. Wha?! I’ve been through this over and over like a fool. Always this same shitty script! What are you two doing?! Take cover behind me! H-Huh? It’s not us! How?! My legs are moving on their own! Stop! Please, get back! Can’t fight it, can you?! Can’t defy it, can you?! Is this one of those RPG mechanics Master warned me about?! Now you get a VIP seat to watch as those brats die right here! After the fight against Flamin in the Brave Questus RPG... Mother... Wh-What do we do?! H-Help us! Don’t you dare think you can fetter me with this! Struggling won’t help you! I’ll tell you something good though. I call this goddamned mechanic a "scripted event." I’m scared! No! I don’t want to die! It’s all right. I promise, I promise I’ll save you! Ahh, every last one of you are damn fools! You all mistakenly believe that you’re acting of your own damn volition! The Heroes! The Demon Lord! Everyone and everything! We’re all just pawns in a game, and none of you get how easily we’re thrown out! Hey! You’re out there somewhere listening, right?! "You can be free if you conquer the world," my ass! You deceived both me and the Demon Lord, dammit! You never planned on granting us that from the start! You’re just as bad! King Ira Takuto! You’re another Player too, aren’t you? I bet you thought, "I need to upgrade my gear once I defeat this boss," as you fought me too, didn’t you? Well, fuck you! I’m here, and I exist! So I’m going to kill your little favorites now in my greatest act of spite! Hold on a moment! Wait! Hell no! I hate the whole lot of you. Mother... Maria! Caria! Is this the spot? Yeah! You found a wonderful spot, Big Sis. You can really see all of our king’s nation from here. Our king said that his nation is also everyone’s nation! So it’s everyone’s nation! Then that means it’s our nation too. Yeah! And Mama Isla’s too! Uh-huh. Wow. Look, Caria! It’s so big and bright. The moon is pretty, isn’t it? It is, but...? Our king told me. When you say, "The moon is pretty, isn’t it?" it means "I love you." I’ve never heard of that before! Our king knows so much! I hadn’t heard of it before, either. Our king knows everything. That’s not fair! When did you get our king to teach you something so wonderful, Big Sis? Caria. The moon is pretty, isn’t it? Big Sis, the moon is pretty! Next time, we should bring Mama Isla with us too. Everyone’s nation looks so pretty from here. Then we can both tell her, "The moon is pretty, isn’t it?!" Yeah! Let’s do that! The night of the full moon would be best! So, on the next full moon! Yeah! We’ll keep it secret until then! That’s right, Big Sis! Huh? Huh? N-No! Mother! Mama Isla! A-Are you two okay? Mother! Mother! You stayed safe then. Thank goodness. Truly, thank- Mother, I’m worried about your injuries! W-We need to get you to the king and the birdbrains fast! My king! My king! My king! Why won’t you respond to me?! Humans! Where are you?! Hurry! Get here quick! There’s no need for treatment. I-I need you two to listen to what I’m about to say carefully. I’m sure you two already understand, but I won’t survive. So there’s something I wish to entrust to you two. No! We’ll be good girls! So... So don’t- T-There has to be some way to save you, Mother! I’m afraid there isn’t. It’s all because we were weak! It’s all because we thought we could find happiness! That’s why we’re being punished! Why?! Why does everyone always die?! We just wanted to live with our mother! Have we really done something bad enough to deserve this?! You two have done nothing wrong. I was simply too weak. Mother, let us die with you. I can’t stand this pain anymore. There’s no point in living anymore. Nothing good ever comes out of life. Please listen to my last words. Please forgive your mother for passing on before you. Now, this is my final request... Please eat me, and live on. No! No, no! Why?! Why must we do that again?! Master. Please forgive my selfish action. I used the experience I acquired to learn the skill "Royal Succession." Maria, Caria. I’m handing down all of my power to the two of you. Please live your lives as you wish, my precious daughters. I love you! Mother! You don’t need to come with me, you know. That’s not true. Our king ordered me to march alongside you and destroy the Demon Lord’s stronghold. I need to make haste back to King Takuto’s side! And yet this trash... What a pain. N-No way! Is something the matter?! Look out! Everyone, duck! Impossible! She was a Hero! One of Mynoghra’s Heroes! Lady Atou! Please quell your anger! I lost my composure. What happened? Isla was... No, that’s impossible! Flamin’s scripted event was famous, but that shouldn’t have been possible in this world! Atou. What’s going on, King Takuto?! Isla was defeated. She got caught in a death scene. That’s impossible?! Dammit! That attack! What a grave blunder! I failed to report a crucial detail! Isla’s defeat is an emergency. I’ll return to the capital at once. I know, but hold on. Why, my king?! Isla is dead. Unfortunately, that’s a fact. However, the twins have survived. Why are you bringing up the twins? They’re moving south toward the enemy’s stronghold. I imagine they’re planning to exact vengeance. But those girls can’t- Isla used Royal Succession to allow those two inherit her Hero status. We can’t afford to lose any more Hero Units at this point. My orders won’t reach them either, so I need you to retrieve them. If I may be so bold as to object, these RPG mechanics are a threat! I beg you to reconsider and grant me permission to protect you! I see. Even so, please go. Isla entrusted them to us. We can’t afford to expose you to danger over sentimentality! King Takuto, you’re my- Atou, this is an order. You’re the only one I can ask. As you command, my king. Thank you, Atou. I trust you. Lady Atou? You all are to return to the capital. I forgot something very important. King Takuto was the greatest player of Eternal Nations. I just need to have faith in him and obey. My king! We’ll soon be finished mopping up the survivors that entered our land. Shall we begin pursuing the others? All noncombatants will remain evacuated until tomorrow morning, at which point we’ll begin repairs on the damaged facilities. You don’t need to take action on your own. I’ll issue the necessary orders at the necessary time. Please forgive my rudeness! My sincerest apologies! What’s happened to our king? He almost feels like a different person right now... My, my, such a naughty girl! Did you come here knowing this was the defensive line of Lady Wind, the Tempest General of the Demon Lord’s Army? All by yourself, no less? How courageous. Why do we have to endure such suffering? Why do such awful things keep happening to us? Why is this world... so agonizing? Earth General, Old Mechanic! We’ve spotted an intruder. What shall we do? Ready our magitech. We’ll eliminate her. The world hates us! It absolutely hates us! What did you do?! I knew something awful would happen to us if we relied on anyone else. I knew I never should have let myself hope for anything. Wha?! The world hates me. Dammit! Rage forth, Cursed Black Wind! Huh? You’re kidding, right? My face! H-Help me! Error detected in the magictech. Earth mage squad, go eliminate the enemy. There’s a good chance we’re under attack, though the nature of the attack in unclear. This is an emergency. Mechanical Armor, switch to auto-combat! Do you believe in love? Because love exists! Wha?! Magitech, emergency forced start! Earth Mages! Go! This very world hates us, which is why we need love! We just eat and eat and the people we love force us to stay alive! Demon Lord! Please save me! When something’s scary, you can just forget all about it! Because once you forget everything else, only love remains! ▶ Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra- World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin S01E13.en-US To think such delicate children would be able to reach me. It seems fate dearly loves toying with me. Therefore, you two must die here. Once I destroy everything and offer up this world, I will obtain my freedom. That was the agreement I forged with God. I’d like to confirm one thing before we do battle. Do you two believe in the existence of God? No such thing exists. I know not how you managed to destroy my minions, but you will not even scratch me. My Dark Barrier prevents all physical and magic attacks. Only the Hero can negate it! What’s going on here? I was promised that a Hero didn’t exist in this world. You have no intention of conversing, do you? Come to think of it, the Hero I knew was also a silent man. Is it that odd for me to transform from the start? Many of my limitations have been lost in this world, so fighting you in stages like I did in the game would be uncouth. Defeating the two of you must be a trial imposed upon me. My intuition tells me I must not underestimate you. Now, blades, bring me their deaths! So pretty! Caria! Yes! Impudent! What absurdity! But that is what makes it a trial for me! I won’t be defeated! God is on my side. I will fulfill my agreement with God and obtain my peace and freedom. There is no God, you know? They don’t exist anywhere. If you believe that something will come to save you, then you’ll only face awful suffering later. We never should have believed that. We lost everything because we dared to believe that. I will not die! So long as my will remains, then I swear upon the name of God, I will not die! Oh! I knew God was watching over me! Now, listen! The name of the God that will grant me victory is... Who are you? Huh? Did I just screw up? Why have you interfered? Well, uh... you two were under attack, so I thought I’d save you? Did we look like we needed saving? Well, what do I say? It was an accident? Yeah, it was an accident! Believe me! Come on, those angry looks don’t belong on cute girls like you, right? Did you interfere to achieve some objective? Stop it! With the power you two have now, you’ll never beat me. This boy is weird. Everything he says sounds like a lie. But that doesn’t even matter. This boy defiled our battle. He ruined our atonement to Mother. That’s enough. Glacial Decapitation... Being guaranteed to hit is simply the result. Its true essence is halting all phenomena? I’m surprised it can force its way into actions already initiated. Urk, another girl? Our king has issued orders to return. You’ve accomplished your goal, haven’t you? Then- That boy interfered! I don’t think you understood me. I just conveyed our king’s orders. We don’t want you to get in our way. You little brat! Have you grown arrogant with power?! I can’t take the twins’ powers lightly. Though that’s not a problem. Using that technique prevents me from moving for a while, but I already confirmed I can move again first. So long as I don’t kill them, King Takuto will forgive me. We won’t let you interfere either, Atou. After all, our king already told us we can do anything. You’re free to do anything, and you don’t have to ask for forgiveness to do anything. So long as you behave in a way your mother would be proud of, then I’ll praise everything about you. My, my! What adorable little girls you are! So long as our mother would be proud... So rest easy. Now, come sleep in your Isla’s arms. What would our mother think? Caria, let’s stop now. Big Sis... Atou, we’re sorry. I’m sorry for saying such rude things. Given the current situation, I’ll pretend your outburst never happened if you’ll follow your orders. Sorry for butting in! Later! A student’s uniform? If he’s the kind of entity King Takuto predicted, then we just have to ignore him for now. Atou? Is it possible to bring Mama Isla... back to life? Unfortunately, Isla is dead. Yeah, got it. Everything should be fine now, but be careful on your way home. Understood. I’ll see you later. It’s over. The mechanics of a 4X strategy game were applied to this world. I thought that was a cheat exclusive to me. But now we’ve faced an enemy with a different cheat-the use of RPG mechanics. There are plenty of other genres of games out there too. Th-That was scary! What did they mean, "There are pretty, innocent girls in danger. I want you to go to rescue them right away." Stupid God! Master! Oh... Yes! It’s your slave girl... You weren’t hurt, right? I’m all right! God’s mysterious power is protecting me, after all! So, umm, I received a message for you. "Sorry!" they said. They’re making a fool out of me! For starters, that crazy god transferred me here on a wim! Well, that meant I got to meet you. Master! And they did give me OP powers, so I am grateful. Y-You’re incredible, Master! Good grief. I guess things don’t go as conveniently as they do in anime and novels. Well, still, I guess I’ll go save the world! Yes! My exclusive Master! Hey, hey! Nice to meet you, and long time no see! You doing well, Sainty? I’m finally going to uncover your secret today. Man, this is battle number nineteen, huh? I’ve made sure to bury her all eighteen times before. Even when I completely incinerated her corpse, and even when I cast seals on it, she came back to life like nothing happened. This calamity won’t end until I unravel her mystery. You’re so stiff! Why not be a little more chill? I’m simply here to eliminate evil in the name of God. Well, to be blunt, I’m going to get angry if I don’t win soon. So... Time to roll the dice again today. Uhh... Did I just crit? Hell yeah! Rolled a crit! This nineteenth iteration did it! After tweaking and tweaking my sheet, Erakino has finally become the strongest character! Master! Are you watching?! I did it! Praise me! Praise me! Oh? Sure! It’s a request from God, after all! Aye, sir! Aye, sir! My Game Master! Mynoghra, huh? Now, Erakino, time to get to work! As the Dice God wills! As the roll of the dice demands! Going forward, I might have to fight other enemies with other game mechanics. If we repeat our performance here this time, then we’ll be wiped out next time. My king! Please forgive me for coming to you directly, but the telepathy wasn’t reaching you! We’ve restored the guard around the Palace, so please return! Leave me alone. F-Forgive me! I’m being lousy. Because I got arrogant, I lost Isla and wound up betraying the twins’ trust. My naivety caused all of this. Dammit! Huh? No way, right? This isn’t a game I’m controlling from the outside. Since I’m part of this world, that means I’m a unit too, doesn’t it? How did I never notice that before? Why didn’t I test that from the start?! If I had known that, she wouldn’t have had to die! We’re holding an emergency meeting. First, I’d like to request the sentence for the Elfuur Sisters’ insubordination. Nothing. They won’t be charged with a crime. King Takuto! We wouldn’t be upholding this country’s laws! Especially in emergencies like this one, we can’t permit exceptions without reason- Emergencies, huh? I need to apologize to you all regarding that. I’m truly sorry. This was brought about by my arrogance and carelessness. P-Please stop! A king must never apologize! It’s all because we weren’t good enough! I also promise you this. I will bring Isla back to life. Y-You mean it? You can bring her back to life? Please hold on! I beg your pardon, but in our current situation, resurrecting our Heroes isn’t an option! "Their people shall be welcomed into the heavens, and they shall live for eternity in endless harmony at the pinnacle of happiness. There shall be no pain or suffering there, and the dead shall return to life to rejoin their loved ones once more." The Ascension Victory-the victory in which a civilization ascends to a higher plane. If this world is drawing on the mechanics of Eternal Nations, then I vow to seize that victory. To restore all we’ve lost. B-But the victory conditions are far too difficult! The Ascension Victory essentially means recreating the world itself! The moment others learn we’re aiming for that, the entire world will turn against us! That’s all right! What grounds do you have for concluding that?! Because we’ll just kill everyone who gets in our way. Emergency Production? Now, let’s go conquer the world! To be honest, I think this will be challenging for all of you! But I know that together, we can do this! Just be sure to listen to what I tell you from now on, okay? Modern weapons won’t be good enough on their own. If we want to achieve the Ascension Victory, I’ll need to devise an intricate strategy. I’ll have to manage every detail of my units’ actions myself. I should check on the state of our civilization once more. The Dark Elves are all gathered in one spot? What’s that? We’ll have Lady Isla watch over the future of our nation from here. Hero of Mynoghra, may you rest in peace. It’s not a grave. Mama Isla’s just going to be resting there for a while. Our king told us that he would bring Mother back to life. So I’m sure Mother will come back to life! Do you think we can achieve the results our king seeks from us? He was terrifying. Today, our king was far more terrifying than he was when I first spoke to him. I’m not sure we can keep up with our king’s plans... You’re all being big children. Only children get frightened, lose confidence, and become incapable of doing what they should be doing. Should I be giving you head pats? To think we’re being chastised by children! But they’re right. Growing timid like this is childish. Even our young ones don’t hesitate to serve our king. I once again vow to follow our king to the end, no matter how terrifying it may be, and even if the whole world turns against us. Our king has always put his trust in us and made good use of us. Now it’s our turn to trust our king. Even if it’s lacking, I’ll scrounge up what wisdom I can and devise strategies to offer to our king! Let’s go! Yes! I came close to choosing the most horrible strategy. It was thanks to everyone here with me, That we became this nation, distinct from the game. That we became Mynoghra. Our nation. I shut myself away after I was unable to find the words to say to King Takuto yesterday... But today, it’s different. No matter how King Takuto may change, my loyalty to him never will! My great and mighty king, King Ira Takuto! Your Sludge Atou is here! There, there. We want you to cheer up, my king. K-King Takuto?! I got so carried away yesterday that I frightened everyone... I-It’s all right! It’s all right! I shouldn’t have said it the way I did... Th-Then if you were to rephrase it now? If you were? I won’t let the people who place their trust in me suffer again. So let’s all work together to achieve the Ascension Victory! I’ll follow you wherever you may go. We’ll help! You can do it, my king! It’s something only I can do. As the top player of Eternal Nations, I’ll bring us victory out of these circumstances.
