\text("Giacomo")
Three cities have already fallen to the Demon Lord's army.
Do you all understand what that means, hmm?
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
You have nowhere left to run! If this place falls, Hados
will be taken by them!
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
The country you took for yourselves! The city you've
protected―are you really going to hand it over to those
wretched creatures!?
\endtext

\text("Mayor Dacken")
............
\endtext

\text
In front of the barracks, the man who could be called the
king of old Hados is raising his voice.
\endtext

\text
The defense force doesn't show a single sign of displeasure,
even at this empty speech.
\endtext

\text
Even if they can see through their king's true feelings, if
they let it show on their faces, they'd be the first to die.
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Here, we will put an end to those demons! And show them!

\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
That this country belongs to us―humans!!
\endtext

\text("Soldiers")
Ooooooooh!
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
...Use whatever means necessary. Kill that Demon Lord.
Understood?
\endtext

\text("Mayor Dacken")
Hah... Is it really something to be so afraid of? Just some
inferior species.
\endtext

\text("Mayor Dacken")
It's just that self-proclaimed Demon Lord, Diabolica, right?
And the other mayors are just idiots.
\endtext

\text("Mayor Dacken")
Just a bunch of cowards with big attitudes and no ability.
Don't lump me in with them.
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Enough talk. This is an order. Hold them back, even if you
die.
\endtext

\text("Mayor Dacken")
Haha, if I'm dead, I can't really...
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Didn't you hear me? I said hold them back, even if you die.

\endtext

\text("Mayor Dacken")
...!
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
If you fail, don't expect your life or your family's lives
to be spared.
\endtext

\text
Giacomo. A man who gained his current position with the
support of Shuka's chancellor.

\endtext

\text
Behind him lurks Vexation... the infamous shadow of a
notorious assassination organization.
\endtext

\text
...There's no way anyone could defy him.
\endtext

\text("Mayor Dacken")
...Understood. I will stop the Demon Lord, no matter what.

\endtext

\text
With a snort of irritation, Giacomo turns and leaves.

\endtext

\text
The mayor left behind lets out a sigh of relief.
\endtext

\text("Soldier")
What shall we do?
\endtext

\text("Mayor Dacken")
...Gather Diabolica immediately.
\endtext

\text
Being killed by the Demon Lord or by Giacomo―either way is
out of the question.
\endtext

\text
In that case, he'll just have to do whatever it takes to
win, as ordered.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
As soon as we're ready, we'll attack Dacken.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Haa... I don't mind, but what's going on?

\endtext

\text
Caym lounges on the throne, looking quite pleased with
himself.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Heh, you don't get it?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Of course I don't. Would you care to explain?

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Hados will be mine soon enough.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
I see. So you've finally started to think like a king...

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Once that happens, I'll have my pick of the women of Hados.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
To celebrate the reconstruction, I was thinking of gathering
the women for a feast. Of course, they'd serve me naked...
or maybe with some sake poured over them...
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...I was a fool to expect anything else.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
And after that, the elves... kukuku.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Anyway, I understand you want to take control of Hados as
soon as possible.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
I'll summon the troops. Let's head out right away.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Yeah, I'm counting on you.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
(After that... Is Caym-sama really serious about this...?)

\endtext

\text
Risbell's wish is coming true. But Caym's ambitions have
probably only just begun.

\endtext

\text
She knows it's her role to help him with that.

\endtext

\text
Even so, Risbell steels her resolve.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
(Once this battle is over, I need to have a proper talk with
Caym-sama...)
\endtext

\text("Mayor Dacken")
Bring me the Demon Lord's head! Whoever does will be
rewarded!
\endtext

\text("Soldier")
UOOOOOOO!
\endtext

\text
Monsters march in formation from the city's sewers toward
Dacken.
\endtext

\text
Seeing this, the mayor's expression hardens.

\endtext

\text("Mayor Dacken")
They're marching in formation...?
\endtext

\text
They're not just a mob of monsters. They're as organized as
human soldiers.
\endtext

\text
That is certainly a threat. Maybe it's no wonder the
previous mayors couldn't win.

\endtext

\text("Mayor Dacken")
...Hmph, fools. That just means they can be fought like
human soldiers.

\endtext

\text
Still, even they couldn't have anticipated 'this.'

\endtext

\text("Mayor Dacken")
I've got all the Diabolica I need... I don't care if we use
them up. Crush those bastards!

\endtext

\text
At the mayor's words, Caym grins with delight.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
From here on out, the Demon Lord's army will take control of
Dacken! If you don't want to die, get out of our way!

\endtext

\text("Diabolica")
.............
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
What's that...?
\endtext

\text("Soldier")
Don't let them advance any further! Hold them here!

\endtext

\text("Soldier")
Uoooooh!!
\endtext

\text
The Diabolica soldiers charge in with blank expressions.

\endtext

\text
Risbell, sensing something off compared to the high-spirited
humans, raises her voice even more.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Something's wrong with the Diabolica. Everyone, be careful!

\endtext

\text("Agri")
Hell yeah! I'm Agri, the Demon Lord Army's vanguard! Anyone
who thinks they're tough, come at me!

\endtext
