\text("Guard")
Lord Rudol! The Demon Lord has reached the top floor... He's
on this floor now...!
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
I see... In that case, leave the rest to me.
\endtext

\text("Guard")
But...!
\endtext

\text("？？？")
―Stand aside.
\endtext

\text("Guard")
Huh... Gah!?
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
...So you've come, Demon Lord.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Yeah, I came just like you wanted. You're the one they call
Rudol, right?
\endtext

\text
Caym glanced at Rudol, who was sitting on the throne like he
owned the place.
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
Indeed. I am the true king of Lusario, Rudol den Casquen.

\endtext

\text("El")
True king? Please move aside, that seat is...

\endtext

\text("Caym")
That's my seat. Old man, it's time for you to retire.

\endtext

\text("El")
No, it's not! It's Lady Tiela's!
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Either way, it'll be mine soon enough.
\endtext

\text("El")
No, it won't! El won't allow that!

\endtext

\text("Rudol")
...Hmph. Even after betraying us, you haven't lost your
spirit.
\endtext

\text("El")
Hmph, like I care what you think. You're the one who
betrayed Lady Tiela first.

\endtext

\text("Rudol")
Choosing the path of surrender is a betrayal of the people.
It was only natural.
\endtext

\text("El")
How dare you...!
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Well, calm down. So, what are you going to do? Surrender,
or...?

\endtext

\text("Rudol")
Surrender is out of the question.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
............
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
For the pride of all the people of Lusario, I will defeat
you here.
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
That is my duty as king of Lusario.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...I never thought I'd hear words like that at a time like
this.
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
Hmph. You wouldn't understand...
\endtext

\text
Caym glanced at Rudol, who glared back at him.
\endtext

\text
Was he just saying that for his subordinates' sake, or did
he have another reason to hide his true feelings?
\endtext

\text
Caym stared at Rudol, sizing him up.

\endtext

\text
Either way, fighting that man now would just kill the mood.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
That's not right, is it?
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
...What?
\endtext

\text
Beatrice grinned mischievously at Caym's side.

\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
What is it that you really want? Caym's horn? My horn? Or...
is it something else entirely?

\endtext

\text("Rudol")
You... those horns...!
\endtext

\text("Beatrice")
Hehe... Oh, that's not it, is it? You don't truly, from the
bottom of your heart, desire anything at all.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Beatrice-san...?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
...I see.
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
What on earth are you talking about, you people?

\endtext

\text("El")
That's right, please explain it so El can understand too!

\endtext

\text
Caym wondered how Beatrice had noticed, but that could wait
until later.
\endtext

\text
If his guess was right, then Lusario's baffling declaration
of war and Tiela's fall from grace made sense.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
For a long-lived Brightleaf like you, the throne must look
awfully sweet.
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
What are you trying to say...?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Isn't it fine? Even a fall from grace is an experience... It
might just quench your thirst.

\endtext

\text("Rudol")
Shut up! Don't talk like you know everything, you Diabolica!

\endtext

\text
―Did I hit the mark?
\endtext

\text
At Rudol's furious shout, Caym curled his lips into a smirk.

\endtext

\text
Words dripping with sadism and malice stabbed into Rudol.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
The declaration of war and the museum―at their core, they're
the same thing.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
If there's a war, you'll never be bored... The more you
collect, the more you want.

\endtext

\text("Rudol")
You bastard... Enough! Kill the Demon Lord! Silence him at
once!
\endtext

\text("Caym")
It was a hell of a thrill, wasn't it? So much so you forgot
even your crushing boredom.
\endtext

\text("El")
Rudol-sama... could it be, your time has come...?

\endtext

\text("Caym")
I don't know how many hundreds of years you've lived, but
you're reaching your limit, aren't you? I'll put an end to
that boredom of yours!
\endtext

\text("Rudol")
I told you to shut up! Soldiers of Lusario, stake your lives
and kill that Diabolica!

\endtext
