How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord (2018) s01e03 Episode Script

[birds chirping]
[SYLVIE] Sorry for
dragging you all out here again.
Especially after you just
completed your last quest.
Blame it on Diablo's popularity!
So someone's requesting
him specifically?
Its not another trap, is it?
[SYLVIE giggles]
You're funny.
No, it's not.
This one really is from
the Mage's Association.
From Celestine
Baudelaire herself.
As in, she handed it
to me, personally.
[REM]
Oh, good.
[SYLVIE]
The reward is nuts
considering how easy it is!
I hope it's enough
to make up for her pet
Galluk's antics.
[SYLVIE] I mean, yeah,
that's probably part of it.
You guys
have fun without me.
--[SYLVIE] 'Scuse?
--[REM] I don't want to risk
owing Celes any favors.
Count me in for
any other normal missions,
but a reward
that high probably means
she's expecting something.
[TAKUMA]
Yeah, that makes sense.
Why are we questioning
an easy reward?
Have you guys forgotten
we're kinda broke right now?
[BOTH groan]
You could go without Rem.
Honestly,
it's so simple that
three people's
a little dramatic.
Sure, I'm down.
What do you think?
[TAKUMA] I guess with
my half of the reward,
I'd finally be able to give Rem
cash for the room at the Inn.
[DIABLO]
You're excused from the quest,
but do not leave
this city for any reason!
Thank you, I won't.
All right! So it's you and Shera
on the easiest mission ever.
--And Rem's night off!
--Huh?
[SYLVIE]
Don't let me down!
[SHERA]
Go to the Bridge of Ulug
and deliver refreshments.
No way!
[DIABLO] She must really
want to make amends.
How does she not know I'd never
accept a reward for that crap?
It's insultingly easy.
Has she ever even met me?
Ugh!
[SHERA]
Hmm
I don't know. It seems like
she's trying to be nice.
Oh, well.
[EMILE]
Oh, hello, Demon.
[DIABLO]
Hm?
[EMILE]
It's you, right?
The Demihuman
on everyone's minds,
the beast of the hour?
It must be.
And the rumors are true.
You're vile.
--What the?
--No way!
[TAKUMA]
Rumors? About me?
[EMILE]
When they told me about
an unfamiliar horned Demon
wandering the town with
two collared ladies
in tow, I laughed.
But hold and below,
here you are!
[TAKUMA] This douche really
just said, "hold and below"?
Horns? I'm surprised
he doesn't recognize
the Distorted Crown.
He seriously
believes they're real.
--[DIABLO grunts]
--[EMILE screams]
[DIABLO]
Rem, who is this man?
That's Emile.
He's supposedly
the strongest warrior
in the Adventurer's Guild.
[EMILE]
That is correct!
Otherwise known as
Emile Bichel Berger!
You are standing
in the presence
of a beautiful level 50
superhuman warrior!
You are welcome!
I hope you're ready
to get slayed by me.
I can't wait!
[TAKUMA gasps]
It's just like in the game!
Finally! Can't have a Demon Lord
fantasy without a challenger!
[DIABLO laughs]
I don't remember giving you
permission to announce yourself.
Did I?
[SHERA, REM]
Diablo?
[EMILE]
And what about you?
Who said you could degrade
these beautiful women?
You listen here, Demon:
I love women!
And I am a man who will
fight for their honor!
Haha!
[DIABLO]
Huh?
A defender of all women,
did I stutter?
And I will not leave your face
until you set them both free!
Can we talk about this?
You're wrong, Emile!
Fear not,
ye distressed damsels!
A gentleman is here
to rescue you!
[TAKUMA]
What a weirdo.
But it's my first opportunity
to actually
take on a challenger.
Now, I'm guessing he'll fight
the same way
the others did in the game.
[TAKUMA]
He said he's level 50,
so he's probably earned
some special techniques.
[TAKUMA gasps]
Oh, man!
Sword Smite, really?
That's the move that
allows you to reach your enemy
in less than
a second and slash them.
Standard opening stance
for these types.
Awesome! I'm actually
excited about this!
First time in a while.
Bad strategy, douche.
Why would you use such a
recognizable move in a PVP?
You're obviously using it
because of the fast motion,
then once you reach me,
you'll cancel the slash
and just chain it
to your next attack.
You think you're so smart.
[laughs manically]
[SHERA] Is Diablo having
a stroke or something?
[REM]
Or something.
Demon! I command
you release them!
[DIABLO]
Never!
[EMILE grunts]
[EMILE grunts, gasps]
[DIABLO] What the hell?
Why didn't you cancel the slash?
That's what you expected?
Guess you don't know
how to stop it, then?
[DIABLO]
Please.
I'm just surprised you
delivered something
so pathetic.
[BOTH grunt]
How'd you like an Alps Fall?
[TAKUMA]
Alps Fall?
That's a powerful technique,
but it takes
a long time to activate.
Why's he using it
at such a close range?
I feel the power
building within!
The moment I unleash
this blow is the moment
you'll never see those two--
[EMILE grunts]
[SHERA squeals]
What'd I miss?
[TAKUMA] What is this?
Amateur hour?
I know the levels in this world
are lower than I was used to,
but don't they
at least get some
skilled players
every now and then?
And fighting this guy
is like punching a baby,
but meaner.
I'm still here!
[chuckles] Well, at least
you're having fun.
I will never fall
before an enemy
and I am very strong!
Watch this!
[DIABLO chuckles] Yeah, cute.
But next time, no mercy.
This is about
a woman's right to freedom!
I don't need your mercy!
[DIABLO]
Ugh. This is getting old.
Let's go!
[BOTH]
Stop!
But I'm fighting for your honor!
You're not helping
and it's kind of annoying.
[EMILE]
You mustn't give up hope, Rem!
--I'll be the hero you're--
--No, I'm serious.
[EMILE]
Huh?
This is all just a big oopsie.
[CROWD murmuring]
[REM]
Here's the deal.
No one put
collars on anyone.
I screwed up a ritual.
We're not enslaved,
we're just magically impaired.
Diablo's a friend of ours
and has actually
been trying to
help us get them removed.
[REM]
What I'm trying to say
without crushing
your soul is,
Emile, don't be
a hero, okay?
[DIABLO groans]
[EMILE laughs]
Then today is
my lucky day!
A day without
women enslaved
is a day for
all heroes to celebrate!
--[EMILE laughs]
--[TAKUMA] This guy medicated?
[EMILE]
I am sorry about that, Demon.
What was your name again?
It's Diablo.
I knew that.
I'm Emile Bichel Berger!
Defender of all women
and devastatingly handsome!
[chuckles]
If you are ever
in need of my strength
and devilish smile,
I'll be only a whistle away!
Though, I doubt you'll need
any assistance
in those departments!
Thank you?
[EMILE]
Until we meet again!
Toodles!
[laughs]
[TAKUMA]
"Toodles"?
That's over.
I'm sorry you
had to endure it,
but believe me,
we suffered with you.
[DIABLO sighs]
Don't be silly, Rem.
He was barely entertaining.
It's sad because
I know he means well,
but he comes across
more like a strong idiot.
[SHERA] He's a moron
with a hero complex.
[TAKUMA]
She said it, not me!
[birds chirping]
[SHERA]
I've got bottles of wine. ♪
Lots of wine. ♪
Off to the Bridge of Ulug! ♪
[TAKUMA]
The Bridge of Ulug, huh?
In the game,
it was built as a fortress
to protect Faltra
from the monsters
in the Man-Eating Woods.
[SHERA] I cannot
get over this weather!
How is it okay
that we're only out here
to make a delivery?
--[SHERA giggles]
--[DIABLO] Just lucky, I guess.
Hey!
I have an idea!
Let's go swimming!
Huh?!
Come on,
don't be a pooper pants!
[TAKUMA grunts]
And how the hell
am I supposed to do that?
She'd be all wet,
giggly, and bouncing,
and I'd just,
I'd just end up
making water messes or drowning!
Silence, you fool!
We are in
the middle of a quest
and you want to
dive off a cliff?
Because I'm bored,
Diablo, come on!
Let's take a break
and do something fun!
Well, it would be fun
if we triggered an Invasion.
What's that?
[DIABLO]
What part about that is hard?
When higher-level monsters
appear during
a lower-level quest?
Huh? Why would you
want to do that?
[whiness]
[gasps]
I'm not strong
enough to fight
big ol' monsters
like you are!
Get off of me, you fool!
You can't become stronger
if you're afraid of everything!
I'm not gonna stay afraid
forever, of course.
I want to be as strong
as you and Rem, someday.
I want to be
an independent woman
of whatever century this is.
That's nice.
Goals are good to have.
Yep! And it's gonna happen!
I know you've
already done so much,
but I'll need your
help until I'm better.
So don't think you're
done with me, yet!
I want to keep growing
and growing and growing!
[TAKUMA]
As long as those things
don't grow with her!
I swear,
she's trying to kill me!
I think they went that way!
--Look!
--gasps]
[GUARD 1] That man!
Is he a Fallen?
[GUARD 2]
Who's the guy with the horns?
[BOTH gasp]
And just who might
all of you be, huh--
Shut your mouth!
You don't belong here!
I can tell by your horns
that you're a Fallen!
[TAKUMA]
Get off my horns already!
[gasps]
Hold on, everyone!
This man's not a Fallen!
He's a demon!
[GUARD 2]
You sure?
I bet he's that horned demon
that everyone around town
keeps talking about, you know?
The one who's got
the two collared slave girls.
[TAKUMA]
Saved by the gossip train.
We've come here
on a quest
to bring you guys
some refreshments.
You like wine, right?
[DIABLO] You know,
it's quite embarrassing for you
to mistake me for a Fallen,
but we can discuss that later.
Has something happened here?
[BORIS] Actually,
there's a reason why
we're confused
about your arrival.
Our patrols
informed us that
an army of over a hundred
Fallen is heading this way.
That's a lot!
[DIABLO]
Yes, it is.
[BORIS]
I know, it's hard to believe.
[TAKUMA] The Fallen were
treated as boss monsters
in every scenario
of Cross Reverie,
but I've never
heard of an event
where they attacked en masse.
That's weird.
Maybe it's a large-scale
Invasion event
that was never
possible in the game.
[GUARD 3] Hey! How's it
looking over there?
[GUARD 4]
Hurry! get into position!
[GUARD 5]
Move your ass!
So, what happens now?
Do you know?
[TAKUMA]
Of course I do.
But how do I tell her
this whole place
will be wiped out?
The people in this world have
lower levels and weaker skills
than the player
characters in the game,
so they'll be massacred before
they can even attempt to fight.
What do we do?
Not sure we need to do anything.
Huh?
Even if they were to
breakthrough the bridge of Ulug,
the Fallen shouldn't be
able to enter Faltra at all.
Not with Celes's barrier.
No need to waste
our time planning for it.
I've heard rumors
about the Fallen.
That they've been active
at different times lately,
and they're hoping to revive
the Demon Lord Krebskulm.
[TAKUMA]
If she's right,
then are they
targeting Rem?
Maybe they've found out
she houses the Demon Lord.
We should probably
go back to the city.
Even with my power,
taking on
a hundred Fallen at once
would be tough to handle.
[BORIS]
Um
Here.
It's our letter of gratitude.
[DIABLO]
Huh?
[BORIS] It will serve as proof
that we received the wine.
We're in the middle
of an emergency,
and you're thinking about wine?
I guess it might seem like
I'm not taking
this seriously, but,
it's just that if today ends up
being my last day alive,
I want to do all I can
to live it out properly.
Does this mean
your group isn't retreating?
[BORIS]
If we were to retreat,
then the safety of people
working in the fields
and our slower
travelers would be
at risk of being attacked.
[SHERA gasps]
[BORIS]
It's our job to buy enough time
for everyone here
to flee into the city.
That's really sad
[DIABLO]
Sorry, kid.
but that solution
is a waste of your time.
Huh?
A huge waste.
Because I refuse to let today
be your last day.
[birds chirping]
[CROWD murmuring]
[MEI]
Rem, is that you?
[REM gasps]
Hey! Good news!
You have a visitor!
How's that good?
[MEI gasps]
[BORIS]
That was it.
The final traveler
has passed through.
We'll be lowering
the gates now
in order to buy
as much possible time
for all of them
to reach the city.
Then, we just wait.
[DIABLO]
Then lower them quickly, Boris.
[BORIS]
Please reconsider!
It's a reckless move to try
and face them alone!
Are you listening?
[GUARD 6]
The Fallen are coming!
[wind howling]
[DIABLO gasps]
[rumbling]
[gasping]
[roars]
[gasps]
Get back, both of you.
It'll be harder for me to
use magic with you here.
--But
--Just do what he says, Boris!
Don't worry! Diablo's
the strongest guy ever!
[grunts]
Um, Diablo?
What is it?
Be careful, okay?
[TAKUMA]
She told me to be careful.
That's the first time
anyone has shown
that kind of
consideration for me.
I'm a little freaked out
about a hundred Fallen.
[DIABLO]
But right now,
I can take on even
the strongest monster!
How dare you!
Who gave you permission
to advance your army here?
If you didn't know
I was guarding this land,
then you should be
ashamed of your ignorance!
[BOARMAN growling]
You are a tiny weakling.
I'll kill you and eat you.
[BOARMAN screams]
[growling]
[BOARMAN]
I'll kill you.
[DIABLO chuckles] Does that
look like fun to you guys?
I guess so.
Then I'll destroy
every one of you freaks!
[CELES] I wanted you to know
I discharged Galluk.
[gasps]
[CELES]
Placing you all in danger
in the name of the Association
was more than enough reason to.
I also heard about
the dramatic choice
to bring a Summon
into the middle of town.
Pathetic.
He needs to learn
how to take responsibility.
I'm very sorry he's caused
all of you so much trouble.
[REM]
It's fine.
[CELES] He did say
something of interest
before leaving.
Galluck, that is.
[REM]
What?
[CELES]
Well, apparently our Diablo
told him he was
a Demon Lord?
Because he is.
He's just from
another world.
[CELES]
Is he now?
[REM]
Why do you say it like that?
[CELES] I know your strength
lies in being a summoner,
Rem, so I'm not judging you.
But I've never heard
of a Demon Lord
existing in
any other world.
Even if it did, there's no way
it could be Summoned here.
Which means
[REM whimpers]
It's possible Diablo
is actually a Fallen.
One who was drawn
to the soul you possess.
That's not true!
He could have killed me,
if that's what he wanted to do!
He had plenty of chances!
But instead he
Well, I'll still crush
Krebskulm for you.
We just have to
find another way.
[gasps]
So. It looks like we'll be
spending a lot of our time
researching how to
extract her, first.
[sobs]
What?! I was
just trying to help!
[REM]
Yeah, I know.
I just can't believe
you're not going to leave me.
Maybe I should
research emotions, first.
Listen, to walk away
from you over something
you can't control
would be weak.
Demon Lords are not weak.
[CELES]
But instead, what?
[gasps]
Forget it.
[MEI humming]
[door creaks open]
Oh, hello, sir!
I'm sorry,
but we're all booked up!
[MEI screams]
--[thudding]
--[GALLUK panting]
[CELES] What are you
doing here, Galluk?
You've made
a huge mistake, Celes,
and I'm here
to let you correct it!
Don't you think
kicking me out
of the Mage's Association
entirely is a little extreme?
I really don't,
but I appreciate your concern.
[GALLUK]
I did the right thing, okay?!
And now, everyone's
running their mouths
about how I was fired,
but they're stupid!
I had no choice!
I had to keep hurting them
until they started
telling me the truth.
And how did you do that?
Are there other members
that are wounded now?
This is about me!
I'm wounded!
[CELES]
Let's all take a deep breath
and calm down, all right?
[GALLUK sobs]
You're all out of your minds!
I gave my life
to this association
and what do I get?
Abandoned!
You don't understand me!
No one does!
[sobs] I should've
listened to that woman
when I had the chance!
Who do you mean?
[GALLUK pants]
--[CELES gasps]
--Drop the knife, Galluk!
Come on, you're just
embarrassing yourself, now!
[GALLUK]
I could give a troll's ass
what anyone thinks of me!
[REM] There's something
wrong about that dagger.
I don't know what it is,
but my stomach
is turning looking at it.
[gasps]
Since no one here
believes in me,
I'll have to fix
this world on my own!
Stop him,
Shadow Snake!
[GALLUK grunts]
--[CELES] What happened?
--[MAGES] Galluk?
[MEI groans]
--[CELES] Is that?
--[REM] Stay away from him!
[GALLUK groaning]
[growls]
Can't be
Is this real?
[REM] It looks like
one of the Fallen
[GREGORE]
I thought that damn human
was never gonna shut up!
Rejoice, for you
are now in the presence
of the great Gregore!
[grunts]
--[ALL gasp]
--[GREGORE laughs]
And now,
I hope you are all
ready to die today!
[bellows]
No way.
Very much way.
[TAKUMA]
Looks to be about 30 left.
I can't keep using spells
with such a high MP cost.
I'll end up wearing myself out.
[wind howling]
[TAKUMA]
That must be their commander.
[DIABLO] I'm surprised to see
you dismounted your beast.
[GIRL]
He wouldn't move. I had to.
This is a first, actually.
He's usually quite obedient.
But Once he saw you,
he refused to continue.
Good. Sounds like he knows
what's best for him,
unlike his master.
You should give him
a little more credit
for trying to save you.
He knows you won't
survive challenging me.
We will see about that.
I'm Edelgard, the strongest
lancer of the Fallen.
I'm not intimidated
by a sorcerer.
I won't lose.
[TAKUMA]
If I defeat their commander,
there's a good chance
the rest of them will back down.
One way to find out.
[DIABLO]
Very well, then.
Let's see how strong
the strongest Fallen really is!
Yes fight?
Or no fight?
Yes, fight!
[EDELGARD screams]
[GREGORE]
It's over, human!
[EDELGARD]
If I defeat you,
then that means
the Fallen win.
[DIABLO] Do you understand
anything I've said?
There is no other Demon Lord!
It's just me, Diablo!
