Intruders!

Where are they?

They're above us!

Okay, let's go!

Hurry!

This way!

Go! Go!

Now, answer me.

Are you human, or not?

A demon!

Capture him!

Don't move.

I won't move, then.

What is this?

Something feels wrong.

Did time stop?

I've dulled your senses.

Remain still.

Or it might hit somewhere it shouldn't.

Blow, black wind!

What?

Traitor

Black forces, rage!

He saved the guard? Why?

I can't move.

Wh-What did you do?

I never did give you my name.

I am the commander of the Demon Lord's Seventh Army Corps Undying Brigade, Ike.

This man is a commander in the Demon Lord's Army.

The one who protected Ivalias with overwhelming power?

You just asked if I was a human.

I am a member of the Demon Lord's army. I couldn't possibly be human.

I'll ask again.

During the battle, did you send an assassin to kill me?

No answer, huh?

I'm a knight of the Kingdom.

I have nothing to say to you, demon.

If you're going to kill me, then do so.

Mind Reading.

Wh-What are you doing?

Ike-sama! What are you doing?

Why are you flirting with that woman?

You've got me!

If you want to get up-close and personal with a girl,

you do it with me any time! Come on!

I'll be going, then.

Ike-sama, don't ignore me.

Don't you want to show the humans how much we love each other?

No.

Wait.

You're just going to leave?

Did you come to laugh at me after my defeat?

No. Don't worry.

And you seem to have nothing to do with the assassination attempt.

I didn't answer anything.

I read your mind. It was unclouded.

Oh, and as your enemy, I don't know if I should say this, but don't be so hard on yourself.

I think what matters is what you do after your loss.

What are you saying?

Let's go, Lilith.

We're leaving already?

Want to relax somewhere before we go home?

Why would I?

If you want a rest, rest when we get home.

That's not what I meant!

We're all alone here, so why don't we have some fun first?

I don't want to go home.

Welcome back.

Here's a present.

I found this in the capital city of Lazas.

What are these little white things?

It's a food called "rice."

Rice?

You know I've been told to double the amount of taxes we receive from this city, right?

Yes.

Ivalias is an agricultural city with fertile soil.

Right now they're mostly growing wheat, but rice is vastly more productive.

Productive?

I mean that we can grow more rice.

And more productive food means we won't need so many farmers.

If those people no longer need to grow food,

and can instead craft things like weapons or bricks,

there'll be more people who offer them services, as well.

Um... services?

Chefs, for instance.

And having people like that is how a country grows rich.

Got it?

Satie, are you okay?

So you're, um, saying...

We'll get to eat lots of food and make lots of tax money.

Oh, got it!

You're so smart, Master!

Now, try to cook with this rice.

Um... how do you cook it?

I've never tried it. So I don't know.

There are things you don't know, Master?

I'll leave you in charge.

But I don't know what to do...

All I know is "First low, then high, don't remove the lid even if the baby cries."

First low, then high?

Sounds like a magic spell.

I'm counting on you.

Leave it to me.

I'll do everything I can to support you.

Great.

Now, I've got one other important job to do.

Ike-sama, I've brought the army together.

What are we about to do?

You'll know soon.

Putting together all I've learned...

The arrow that someone fired belonged to the enemy army.

But Alistair from the White Rose Knights knew nothing about it.

Which means someone wanted to attack me

and make it look like it was the White Rose Knights.

I didn't want to admit the possibility.

But it looks like that's what it is.

There's a spy in my army.

Mind Reading.

Ike-sama is so amazing!

I want him to read my mind even more!

Jiron needs to be more careful.

Crap. Did they find me?

You're the spy, aren't you?

It's been a long time since you've been the one come to see me.

So? What do you want?

You seem like you're in a hurry.

I'm used to it, so it doesn't bother me, but...

I'm going to wait outside.

Was there a traitor?

Why do you think so?

Just a feeling.

Do you know who it is?

The second in command of the Seventh Corps.

Jace, the one-eyed goblin.

I see.

Jace, huh?

You're not surprised?

I'd guessed.

Jace is highly intelligent, and a veteran warrior.

What should we do now?

There's only one thing we can do.

We'll have to make him pay a price.

What?!

Ike went to see the Commander?

Yes, Jace-sama.

He;s recovered from that arrow hit already, huh?

Hey, you didn't screw up, did you?

No, I shot him through the chest.

Jace-sama! I can't get a hold of our spy in the Undying Brigade!

What? Damn it!

Have we been found out already?

We'll have to gather our forces and attack first!

I won't let it end for me here!

Jace-sama!

Now what?

Ike-sama has come to see you, alone.

You should've told me you were coming.

I happened to be in the area.

And so you came alone?

Yes.

And you...

You've got quite an army with you.

Planning on starting a war?

This is my territory,

so it's none of your business.

Oh, I heard you were injured in the last battle.

You probably got careless.

Unacceptable for a brigade commander.

On that point, we can agree.

I should've been more careful.

Yes, especially around potential traitors.

So you know, huh?

So, what are you doing here all by yourself?

As you know, my army has more than twice the strength of yours.

My soldiers have all gathered here to taste your blood.

You think you can fight them alone?

You really are a fool.

I see.

Your soldiers are all here, yes?

Wh-What?

This can't be...

Darker than the blackest light...

Red lights fall from within the darkness...

A white that brings woe, destroying the world...

Oh, was Ike down there?

Well, I'm sure he'll be fine.

She's just smashing everything again!

I told her to limit her attacks so we could rebuild more easily later!

The "price" she's making them pay is going too far!

Now, let's start the clean-up.

Don't let even an ant survive.

I'll give you two choices.

Will you surrender now?

Or after you've lost everything?

Kill him, men!

Jace-sama!

Where are you, Jace-sama?

Your job is to buy time until I escape.

That bitch Cefiro is going to pay!

Damn it!

Don't get in my way!

Fool.

Jace fled!

Find him!

That secret path paid off.

I'll give you the victory this time,

but the real war is just beginning, Cefiro.

Wh-Who's there?

You should know when to give up, Vice-Commander.

You...

How did you find this place? Only I know about this path!

I had one of them following you.

My familiars.

How dare you get in my way!

Resistance is futile, so please surrender.

Don't tell me what to do, Brigade Commander.

I'm the Vice-Commander of the Seventh Corps! Jace-sama!

Your attacks are too weak to break my shield.

All you do is plot. It's dulled your combat skills.

Shut up!

What is this?

Binding magic.

Now you can't escape.

It's over.

Fine... I'm sorry.

I can see why the Demon Lord's army holds you in such high esteem.

I actually think you've got a lot of talent.

Unstoppable magic, and you're smart, too.

I've got a proposal for you.

Why don't we take over the Demon Lord's army together?

Think about it!

We've fought the humans for ages.

But what has the current Demon Lord done for us?

We're demons!

Subjugating and attacking humans is what gives us joy, right?

But...

The current Demon Lord doesn't let us kill for no reason.

There are many of us who don't like that.

I don't know whether our commander has no ambitions, or lacks talent...

but she doesn't want to be Demon Lord.

So let's change the Demon Lord's army together!

How about it?

Will you join me... no, us?

I refuse.

I thought so, Ike.

Your life ends here!

I thought you were planning something, but... was that all?

By the way, you said "us."

So, someone's helping you?

Who's to say?

Commander?

Out with it.

I'll make you speak, even if I have to rip apart your brain to do it.

Wait!

I'll handle it my way.

Your methods take too long.

But...

Commander!

I haven't done anything yet.

Then this is poison?

I'll use an antidote spell.

My antidote spell isn't working.

It seems he's been given a powerful poison.

So they poisoned their own comrade? Cowards!

Jace...

You know they've given up on you, right?

There's no need to keep silent for their sake, is there?

Tell me their name. I'll get revenge for you.

Their name is...

It's the fate of a traitor,

but seeing him abandoned like this makes me pity him.

He deserves it.

Does feeling pity prove my heart is still human?

This might come back to haunt me someday.

It seems like things are getting serious.

Cefiro, you know why you're here, right?

Yes.

The one behind this was the head of the Third Corps, Basteo.

Do you have proof?

He brought my vice-commander to his side, and was planning to kill the two of us,

and you as well.

I see.

That's what Cefiro says.

But what do you have to say?
