Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin (2025) s01e06 Episode Script

1
Why are we
even alive?
My King, Are You a Bad Person?
Palace has been completed.
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.
Poor Communicator
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.
New Production and Research has been chosen.
Building! Clinic
Researching! Six Major Elements
Producing! Isla, Queen of Bugs
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.
