Demon Lord, Retry! R (2019) s01e05 Episode Script

♪
[EAGLE (YOUNG)]
This is great.
I can't believe she's actually
going to join the Holy Church.
Finally, Luna will get to live
a decent life.
I wouldn't mind taking you in
as one of my servants.
[EAGLE (YOUNG)] "Attendant"
would've been better.
But I hope she really becomes
a Holy Maiden.
Her gift is finished.
Luna, I know you'll like it.
-[MALE KNIGHT 205A] Eagle.
-Huh?
[MALE KNIGHT 205A] Are you the
friend of a girl named Luna?
Yes.
[MALE KNIGHT 205A]
Apprehend her.
[gasps]
♪
Huh?
What is this?
[MALE KNIGHT 205A]
Eagle, you are hereby
sentenced to death.
[whimpering]
[indistinct chatter]
But why? I did nothing wrong.
Tell me why!
[MALE KNIGHT 205A]
Did you honestly think
you could fool us?
Just absurd.
A demihuman
and a Falconfolk at that?
Your kind are not wanted.
The Cherub held your race
in high regard,
which led to demons
targeting them.
The demons' attack caused
untold demihuman casualties.
Even Beastkin chose to exile
the cursed Falconfolk.
You are a reminder
and a harbinger of misfortune.
Begone from our world!
[MALE MESSENGER 10A]
Wait one moment.
Cease this execution at once.
[MALE KNIGHT 205A]
On whose behalf?
We're disposing of a demihuman!
Orders from Lady Obaba.
She'll be exiled instead.
You're required to remove her
from the guillotine
immediately.
[MALE KNIGHT 205A]
Are we now showing mercy
to one of the cursed species?
Also, if that girl becomes
a Holy Maiden,
her link to the Falconfolk
could harm her image.
It's unlikely they'll
meet again if she is exiled.
Besides, there's a chance
she won't even survive.
[MALE MESSENGER 10A]
Unbind her
and transfer her to the border.
-[MALE KNIGHT 205A] Yes, Sir!
-[MALE KNIGHT 205B] Yes, Sir!

[EAGLE]
When I was eight years old,
I was exiled from the kingdom.
I spent the years drifting.
Wandering across various lands.
I was both thief and victim.
I had to hide among
the poor to survive.
During my time scavenging,
I heard talk of the Kingdom
of Light's Golden Holy Maiden.
Luna. She really became
a Holy Maiden!
It was hard,
but hearing those rumors
kept me going
despite having very little.
Perhaps there was hope
for my future, too.
Even when we lived
on the streets,
you still shone
as bright as the sun.
My memories with Luna
were a guiding light
through all the despair.
Beacons showing me a way
to keep fighting to live
till suddenly,
everything fell to ruin.
My wings grew too large,
and I could no longer
keep them hidden.
I was persecuted
for being a demihuman.
They feared me.
I couldn't even approach
their settlements.
I found a cave and lived
like the animal
the humans thought I was.

[RIGHT KNIGHT ORDER CAPTAIN]
We're here for the demihuman!
Where is it?
[MALE VILLAGER 205A]
There are no demihumans here.
[RIGHT KNIGHT ORDER CAPTAIN]
If you're lying,
I'll make you pay
dearly for it.
I'm not lying, sir.
There was a Falconfolk, but we
drove it out of our village.
[RIGHT KNIGHT ORDER CAPTAIN]
How dare you peasants
try to deceive
the Right Knight Order! Do it!
-[MALE ORDER KNIGHT 205A] Sir!
-[MALE ORDER KNIGHT 205B] Sir!
[MALE ORDER KNIGHT 205A]
This is what you get for lying.
[MALE ORDER KNIGHT 205B]
You shall also pay a fine
for consorting with demihumans.
[MALE VILLAGER 205A] Please
don't do this, sir knights!
[EAGLE]
Forgive me. I'm so sorry!
[rain splattering]
[EAGLE] I decided
to leave the continent
and flew across the sea.
Among the countless islands
in the Archipelago Union,
I chose one to be my hideout.
[birds chirping]
[thunder rumbling]
[gasps]
Huh?
♪
[indistinct chatter]
[EAGLE] The fishing villagers
thanked me for my help
and we formed a connection.
People treated me
nicely for once.
They gave me food
and spare clothes.
[growling]
[whimpers]
[growls]
[EAGLE] I used my powers
to keep the humans safe,
protecting them
from feral beasts
such as bears and wolves.
I was happy again.
At times, it almost felt like
I had my best friend back.
That didn't last for very long.
[RIGHT KNIGHT ORDER CAPTAIN]
We're here to subjugate
you heretics.
In the name
of the State of Right!
All troops, charge!
[screaming]
[heavy breathing]
[EAGLE]
Get away!
♪
[EAGLE]
Again. Yet again,
I brought misfortune
wherever I went.
I began to believe
I must've been cursed.
And it followed me
everywhere.
The hatred towards demihumans
became a curse.
And I'm now haunted by it.
[RIGHT KNIGHT ORDER CAPTAIN]
That's quite enough!
[gasps]
[groans]
[groans]
[FEMALE FISHING VILLAGER 205A]
No! Eagle!
[RIGHT KNIGHT ORDER CAPTAIN]
Don't kill her!
Capture her alive!
-[grunts]
-Uh
Eagle.
[sobbing]
Please, stop!
[RIGHT KNIGHT ORDER CAPTAIN]
What's wrong? Finished already?
[EAGLE]
Luna.
I'm tired.
Tired of it all.
[RIGHT KNIGHT ORDER CAPTAIN]
You filthy demihuman.
[EAGLE]
No.
I have a name. It's Eagle.
And I'm in service to Luna,
the Holy Maiden.
Su Neo.
With the demihuman, Sire?
[MALE ARCHBISHOP 204A]
Yes.
In the meantime, I'll head
to the Demon Lands as planned.
The Archfiend there should be
happy to buy all the heretics
And the Demon goods
we receive in exchange
will be highly valuable.
This expedition
should ultimately prove
quite lucrative.
Weren't we supposed
to sell the girl, too?
The demihuman is insurance.
I know it's tempting
to sell her off now,
but we must save the one thing
they want most for last.
Take the Falconfolk girl
and stand by until I make
my return.
Sire! As you command!

[exhales]
What more can I ask for?
[OONO]
This Omni Travel is useful.
Certainly is nice I can
teleport here
from wherever I am
and relax for a bit.
[FEMALE GAME VOICE 201A]
Message. Isami Tahara.
-[TAHARA] Hey, Chief.
-Huh?
What's this about, Tahara?
[TAHARA]
Just letting you know.
Luna borrowed a convoy
from Madam Shrimpfry.
She's heading north to rescue
a demihuman friend
by the name of Eagle.
[OONO] Huh?
What's up with that?
I presided over it,
as you requested.
Can I leave
the rest to you, Chief?
[KUNAI] Yeah. Don't worry,
I'll take it from here.
Also, sorry
for not telling you,
but I summoned Akane to me.
That so?
I'm not the cunning type,
and I guess espionage
is the need of the hour.
But don't try to rush things,
all right?
[TAHARA] It takes a lot for us
all to even keep up
with your machinations. Later.
[chuckles]
[OONO]
Once again, Tahara's
reading too much into things.
Does he have any idea
how hard it is for me
to keep up this act?
Okay, what's next?
I suppose I'll give Luna
a call while I'm at it.
[FEMALE GAME VOICE 201A]
Message. Luna Elegant.
[KUNAI]
Hey, Luna.
-[KUNAI] Luna!
-Huh?
-What? Who's talking?
-[KUNAI] It's me.
[KUNAI]
Take your time.
And don't do anything stupid.
-Huh?
-[KUNAI] That's all.
If that's all,
why'd you even bother?
You can't disturb
someone's beauty sleep
just for something like that.
"Luna, how are you?
Was your day okay?"
I don't know! How about
you be a normal person
and start
a normal conversation?
[growls]
[LUNA]
Demon Lord.
[LUNA]
You're a big jerk!
What?
Lady Luna is heading north?
Yes. Sir Marshal,
we've gained intel
that Madam Butterfly
lent her a convoy.
That sneaky vixen from Central?
Just what is she thinking?
[MARSHALL] But the man
they call Demon Lord
is headed north too.
Does he have something
to do with this?
[SAMBO]
Sir Arts.
[MARSHALL]
Sambo.
If Lady Luna is traveling north
as you say,
then she'll need an escort.
There are rumors
some unpredictable powers
are making moves up there.
[MARSHALL]
"Powers," eh?
Hold on. Is she attempting
to strike a deal
with foreign powers?
Think! So, the Demon Lord
traveled north
to set up a meeting.
Lady Luna is en route
to attend that meeting
with funding
from the Madam's company.
They'll back a military
and have them attack
our kingdom.
That must be it!
Lady Luna's planning a coup!
Did she heal Sambo's eyes
in order to make
good use of him
and win him over to her side?
Sir Arts.
I'd like to go as escort--
No! I'll go myself!
[SAMBO]
But why go personally?
I assure you, sir.
I can handle an escort mission.
I know that you're capable,
but let me do it.
Sambo. I hereby appoint you
as the new acting
commander of Gatekeeper.
-Handle things while I'm away.
-Yes.
It would be an honor, Sir Arts.
[MARSHALL] The Empress
and the Demon Lord?
You're mistaken if you think
you can do as you please!
[DONA]
What?
Are you saying that woman
sent a convoy to the north?
It seems that way, Lord Dona.
I've grown tired of
Shrimpfry's games.
Isn't she satisfied with
winning over the noblewomen
with that hot spring malarkey?
What is that woman
after this time?
If you ask me,
we should be more worried
about the man
who left before them, sir.
The man who's called
the Demon Lord?
Azure,
I need you to head north.
I'm sure you know
what to do, right?
Of course.
As you wish, milord.
The Holy Maiden.
She's heading north?
Garcia, gather a handful
of men and take her out.
Am I allowed to attack
wherever I want, Lord Utopia?
Of course, you are.
Any place you desire.
[laughs]
Happy to hear it!
[footfall]
But, Lord Utopia,
Garcia is a wanted criminal,
is he not?
Such a man isn't suited
for foreign operations.
Yes, I'm quite aware of that.
[WALKING]
Then why him?
Well, because the citizens
of Holy Light
are not capable of
awakening Hades alone.
Yes, but
[gasps]
♪
[gasps]
Oh, come now.
Relax. It's just a familiar.
[WALKING]
Forgive me, Sir.
-[whispering]
-Hmm.
I'm afraid I must be going.
So, you'll take over
while I'm away, Walking.
Yes, Sir.
[gasps]
[UTOPIA]
It's been a long time, Oruit.
[sighs]
I haven't the patience
for this.
Away with you.
[UTOPIA] Such a heartwarming
welcome this time.
Certainly not like you.
State your business
and get lost already.
[UTOPIA] The man who's been
calling himself Demon Lord
is traveling north
and entered the Beast Kingdom.
Yes, and what of it?
[bell chimes]
[UTOPIA]
It's been eating at me lately.
Ever since he appeared,
it seems like all our plans
have been ruined.
[UTOPIA] The return
of Demon King Greole.
The Holy Maiden killings.
The attack on the Holy Capital.
Each one of them has been
interrupted by this man
and the Dragonkin.
It is hard to believe it's just
coincidence, isn't it?
Both of them appeared
at the same exact time.
So, they're one being, then?
[UTOPIA]
It's possible.
Care to investigate that
with me, Oruit?
[ORUIT] Only if you stay
out of my way.
The dragon is mine.
All right.
No need to worry about me.
I merely wish to prevent
any more unexpected
obstructions to the plan.
She works so diligently,
even with that body.
I must say, you truly
do have interesting taste.
Don't you dare
look at her that way.
She's my plaything, you scum.
Dear me, I do apologize.
Wouldn't want to anger
you now, would we?
[chuckles]
[OONO] I never did find
any magic items.
Only those two lowlifes.
Just that one hit of magic
had me frozen in place
and in disarray.
And in the future, stronger
magic may prove fatal.
I need something to
counter it, and fast.
Huh? I don't have any food
to give you, so shoo.
What's with you?
Are you looking
to get cooked or something?
You're careless
for a Demon Lord.
[KUNAI] What the
You can talk?
I've been observing you.
It's true you wield
considerable power,
but you're completely
defenseless against magic.
Oh? How can you be
sure of that?
This bird itself
is proof enough.
Any competent warrior
wouldn't let such
a low-level familiar
approach so easily.
[KUNAI]
Huh?
Answer me.
You're the Demon Lord?
The one spoken of in legend?
Who knows? I'm not exactly
concerned about the past, here.
[ORGAN] Are you interested
in making a deal with me?
[KUNAI]
What deal?
Killing. I want you
to murder someone.
Assassination?
Well, this took a dark turn.
[ORGAN]
Unfortunately,
I'm not able to kill
the bastard myself.
And if I kill whoever this is,
what do I get in return, huh?
Everything he owns.
His castle contains
a large amount of treasure
and countless magical items.
[ORGAN] Some of those items
can defend against magic, too.
Consider them all yours.
Only if you're willing
to accept my deal.
[KUNAI]
Okay, let's hear it.
Who's this guy
you despise enough
to have him killed?
What's his name?
He's in the Demon Lands.
The man considered closest
to becoming Demon King.
The archfiend Belphegor.
[KUNAI]
Oh?
Archfiend, eh?
[OONO]
Closest to becoming Demon King?
Probably like the loser
I killed
with a one-hitter-quitter
when I first came here.
Sounds like a piece of cake!
What more do you want?
The riches aren't enough?
All right, fine. One thing.
I'll add on one last thing
to our deal.
Whatever you want.
Mm. That so?
Okay then, you've got a deal.
You're about to have your
wish come true, so rejoice.
You're awfully confident.
You do realize that you have
to go into his domain, right?
[KUNAI]
That doesn't matter.
More importantly,
I'm curious to know
why you want to kill him.
I want him dead.
Because that demon
is my father.
[OONO]
A demon is her father?
So, does that mean
she's Devilkin like Tron?
[ORGAN]
I didn't ask before.
But what do I call you
going forward?
Demon Lord?
Fallen Angel?
Lucifer, maybe?
Oh, no. Demon Lord is fine.
What about you?
Call me Organ.
If that's settled,
when are we leaving?
-[KUNAI] Right now.
-Huh?
Did you not hear me, Organ?
We're leaving right now.
[ORGAN]
Hold on! We can't leave.
You have to prepare,
don't you? His castle is--
There's no need. Thankfully,
we have Akane here now.
Why is the Demon Lord?
Why is my rival standing
in front of me?
[OONO]
Is she referring to me?
Uh, Hakuto.
Who are these two girls?
Hey, Mink. We're leaving
for the Demon Lands at once.
We're going to take
Archfiend Belphegor's head.
Wait, you're joking, right?
There's only four of us!
No point taking riff-raff.
They'll only slow us down,
so leave them.
[MINK] Demon Lord!
This must be your doing.
You're trying to drag me down
from the apex of darkness!
But when two dark forces unite,
there's a massive chance
that it could awaken
the Dark Salamander
that's sealed in my right hand!
It's too dangerous!
Aw, man. This is some hardcore
main character syndrome!
A Dark Salaman-thingy
locked inside your right hand?
Organ.
[KUNAI] Can we get a move on
to the Demon Lands?
Sure thing. And, Mink?
That's enough of your
hidden power fantasies.
Huh? These aren't
"fantasies," Organ!
The very moment we arrive,
the seal will surely be broken!
Hey, let go of me!
What are you doing, Organ?
Let's go, Akane.
My right hand's sync rate
is over 9,000, too.
It's over garlic ramen!
No, char siu!
[KUNAI]
Okay, screw that.
[AKANE] What?
Hey, wait for me!
[horses neigh]
Pardon me.
But my men and I will be
taking over security.
That's fine by me, Arts.
But during our trip,
you'll address me
as "Princess."
Forgive me,
but if I called you that,
it might interfere
with our security measures.
Okay, whatever.
I'll just settle
for "milady," then.
I'll certainly do my best.
I've had enough of that guy.
He's pissing me off.
"Take your time, and don't do
anything stupid," my foot!
Milady. Can I ask
what you mean by "that guy?"
Oh, you know? He's that
one guy, the huge jerk?
The "guy" calling himself
"Demon Lord," perhaps?
Uh-huh.
But you should be more
concerned about
keeping me safe
and less about him, okay?
Right!
By the way, Milady,
what are your thoughts
concerning
the Kingdom of Holy Light
as of right now?
Oh, that place is horrible!
I have to take control of it,
or nothing will ever get fixed.
How's that fair?
[MARSHALL] [gasps]
So, she is planning a coup!
But I have his backing,
so it's no contest.
I'm definitely going to win,
no problem.
[MARSHALL]
And if I may.
Can I assume
that you're willing
to get rid of your sisters
to do so?
Of course, I am.
Tell me, why is it that
I have to take orders
and get bossed around
by them forever?
And besides, he has extremely
high hopes for me, so
And you're hoping
you can live up
to those expectations
he has for you?
[LUNA]
Listen, Arts. I'll admit,
I don't particularly care
for this kingdom.
Huh?
I believe in the Cherub.
And to this day,
that still has never changed.
If you ask me,
screw those morons
who coast on their bloodlines
and never work for anything.
[MARSHALL]
What's she plotting?
What scheme are you
playing at here, Luna?
[footfall]
[MALE MESSENGER 205B]
Sir Arts.
Within the town of Su Neo,
we've been notified that
a group of Right Knights
supposedly crucified
a demihuman.
Still sickening as always,
I see.
[LUNA] Sir Arts.
We have to go now!
-Huh?
-Right now! Let's go!
Don't you dare stop
until we get there!
[MARSHALL]
But, Milady!
Executing a foreign demihuman
might potentially cause
a diplomatic incident!
[LUNA]
We're not executing her!
Well, then, what?
That demihuman
is my best friend!
Did you say best friend?
Eagle. Wait for us.
