01x11 - A Battle Without Heroes

Post by bunniefuu »

[door opens]

[breathing shakily]

[NEIA]

Mr. Uchimura.



Please,

tell me she's all right.

There's no need to worry.

She wasn't severely wounded

during the battle

but she did expend

a tremendous amount

of magical power.

I'm afraid it'll take her

some time to recover.

I see.

Thank goodness.

Your nursing skills

have really helped out.

I'm so glad you're here.

[NEIA]

No worries.

[UCHIMURA] I didn't think

it would turn out this way.

It's my fault for

sending her home early.

Uchimura I

[gasps]

I told you we

have to

-get meat.

-Ms. Ulmandra.

[crying]

I owe you so much.

The Demon Overlord's castle

is safe thanks to you.

But still, we don't know

when the wyverns will launch

another attack like that.

It's only a matter of time.

I've got to handle this myself.



[OLULU] According to the intel

from Ms. Sylphid

the wyverns have withdrawn

to the area

surrounding the lake

after their attack

in the north.

They targeted

the Rabito Tribe's village,

Popon Town,

and also

[UCHIMURA]

They came for the ogre village?

They did.

[Uchimura gasps]

Those who guarded the village

faced a surprise attack.

Some were carried away

by the wyverns.

[wyverns roaring]

Most lived

but some of my closest friends

fought hard

and they were badly hurt.

And you're worried

about them, huh?

[OLULU]

Yes.

-You should go.

-[OLULU] What?

If you head out right now

the odds of you getting

attacked are pretty low.

That said,

we'll make sure you have

enough guards with you,

-just in case.

-But the wyvern investigations.

We can handle things here.

Just leave it to me.

[footsteps approaching]

[OLULU]

Hm.

[UCHIMURA]

Hm.



[UCHIMURA]

We need to find a way

to predict

the wyverns' behavior.

If we can do that,

we can strike back.

Well, in theory

but it's not that simple

with Ms. Ulmandra

and Olulu out of the fight.

Ms. Gnome

is defending the fortress.

Ms. Sylphid

is surveying the field.

I'll do it.

Whatever it takes,

I'll find a solution!

[groans softly]

[UCHIMURA]

I'm paying the price

for staying up so long.

This is no time

to sleep on the job!

Everyone is giving it

their best!

I need to get to work, too.

I can'tfall asleep yet!

[whimpering]



There has to be

some sort of logic

behind the wyverns' attacks.

Anything at all,

I just need the tiniest hint.

I'm not getting anywhere!

[song playing over radio]

BAR

Hm?

DEMON OVERLORDY

Huh?

Hold on, Master?

Hello?

[gasps]

What?

[gasps]

What's happening?

[breathes shakily]

It's all coming apart.

[rumbling]

[gasps]

[gasps]

[OVERLORD] What foolishness

is this, Uchimura?

Huh?

Wait a sec, My Lord?

Uh.

Why are you here?

I'll keep working,

so don't worry!

You shouldn't be away

from your throne room

-at a time like this!

-[OVERLORD] How it vexes me

to see one my elite generals

in such a sorry state!

[Uchimura gasps]

[OVERLORD] You have lost

sight of yourself, I'm afraid.

Hm.

Forgive me, My Lord.

[OVERLORD]

Uchimura,

this is an order.

Sleep!

But why?

Please, excuse me

for being so forward,

but too many people

are counting on me!

If I stop now, there may be

a countless

number of casualties!

[OVERLORD] What sort of plan

can you concoct

in your sleep-deprived stupor?

An ill-conceived strategy will

only put my army at risk!

Do not stray from the path.

Your role as a strategist

is different

from that of a mere soldier.

The lives of many

depend on your plans.

Shortsightedness will only

deter you from your answer!

[Uchimura gasps]

[UCHIMURA]

He's right.

If I hastily

throw together a plan

and miss an important detail,

it could cost us everything.



[sighs]

Understood, My Lord,

I thank you.

[OVERLORD]

Hmm.



[Uchimura gasps]

[Uchimura breathes steadily]

[Overlord humming]

[UCHIMURA]

Maybe this is all just a dream.

Maybe these words of wisdom

are only echoes

from the Demon Overlord

that lives inside my heart.

[birds chirping]

[exhales]

Whether it was real or not,

that was solid advice,

I feel great!

[exhales]

Hm.

I'll settle this.

Nothing can stop me now.

My sleep-empowered mind

can put this together easily!

[yelling]



Ready for action, are you?

-Welcome back.

-[UCHIMURA] Thank you.

[GNOME] I heard about

Ulmandra's situation.

To be honest,

that's more combat power

than we can afford to lose.

Soldiers and supplies are

becoming rare commodities

as well.

That said, I doubt

you came here empty-handed.

You must have

something in mind.

Yes, of course.

Don't worry.

It may have taken a while

but I have the perfect plan!



[UCHIMURA] My brave soldiers,

I thank you for your service!

You have fought well!

And today,

we will bring this battle

to an end, for good!

This is our final strike

against the calamity!

Its codename will be

"Last Rebellion!"

[indistinct chatter[

Hm.

Hmm.

I noticed that

there's a pattern

in the wyverns' attacks.

Their target

is women!

You're certain?

[UCHIMURA]

Definitely.

As you know,

they attacked two fortresses

rather unexpectedly yesterday.

And looking at our records,

I realized we transferred

a lot of female soldiers

before that.

Take this fortress,

for example.

The women fighters

we had stationed here

were ordered to return home,

correct?

[GNOME]

Mm-hm.

FEMALE

[UCHIMURA] In other words,

the number of women here

sharply decreased

but that wasn't the case

for the two other fortresses,

both of which were

targeted by wyverns.

Hmm.

Stand aside

and leave this to me!

They attacked Ms. Ulmandra

and the others at

the Demon Overlord's castle,

seemingly as if they

followed them there.

I also took a look at the data

from the ogre village

and the other areas

that were attacked.

-[wyverns roaring]

-A clear pattern emerged.

Therefore, I believe that

the wyverns prefer women,

especially those who are

high in magical power.

I see.

Certain beasts have a tendency

to target females as well,

at least in cases

where they might

provide more nutrition.

Seems your reasoning has merit.

So, how should we proceed?

Here's the plan!

We can use the wyverns'

behavior against them!

Specifically, we'll gather

our female demons

to create a diversion!

Once we've lured the wyverns

where we want them,

we'll wipe them out as

a united front of demi-humans,

demons, men, and women!

Together no enemy can stop us!

A diversion?

And we have to be the decoys?

[MALE DEMON 1]

An all-out battle, huh.

[MALE DEMON 2]

What if we fail?

[GNOME] It's no surprise

that they're worried.

It's a risky plan.

If we commit all of our forces,

we could be

wiped out completely.

Ulmandra was a huge

morale booster for the demons.

Her withdrawal will have

a significant impact.

If the troops lack confidence,

even the best strategies

will fail.

Hm.

-We have everything we need

-You need to pull this together

quick, Uchimura.

[breathes deeply]

The truth is,

I'm not the hero

everyone believes me to be.

[all gasp]

[UCHIMURA] I'm not strong

like other Elite Generals.

In fact, I'm not strong at all.

I'm not like

the rest of you either.

In fact,

I'm not even from this world.

And yet,

everyone here is different

in their own way.

Some strong,

some weak,

from different countries,

from different tribes,

from different races

with demons and demi-humans

fighting side-by-side!

'Cause right now,

we're all facing

the unprecedented threat

of the calamity

together as one!

Though surely you had

the same thought that I did.

That a hero would come

to save us from destruction.

But that's not right!

There are no heroes

in this country!

No one is going to show up

and miraculously save the day!

All this country has

is its people!

We're not heroes,

but we can still fight!

We love this country!

We want

to protect it!

This is our home!

We won't give up!

We won't lose!

There's no fight in the world

that could be

more important to us!

Quitting is not an option!

We'll face any foe.

Face any threat

and never will

we give in to despair!

This is the only path

before us!

-[ALL] Hm.

-I have uncovered

a weakness in our enemies!

If you follow my plan,

then I swear to you.

We will win!

We don't need a hero!

Our power alone is enough!

Will you fight beside me?

[soldiers cheering]

[footsteps approaching]

[GNOME]

That was a fine performance.

Uh

What if we fail?

I made

all of those big promises.

It's a bit late

to get cold feet now.

[UCHIMURA]

Hundreds of people

and all their lives

are in my hands!

They put their trust in me!

I can't betray them!

Not that I was lying to them,

I meant every word I said

but still I dunno!

I'm scared out of my mind,

Ms. Gnome!

If something bad happens,

I don't think I can go on!

[sighs]

[GNOME]

You're hopeless, aren't you?

Uh?!



When I was scared

my mother used to do this

to comfort me.

So, you feel any better?

Hm.

I do.

Hmm.

Remember, you're essential

to our army.

You must keep it together.

Uh.

Just don't forget, you have

friends here to help you.

Believe in us, too.

You've helped me already.

[chuckles softly]

That's enough sulking!

Time to issue formation orders!

Uh, yes, ma'am!

[exhales sharply]

Here goes.



[wyverns roaring]

[wings flapping]

[growling]

[soldier 1 gasps]

Wyverns confirmed!

Approaching fast!

[bell tolling]

Operation Last Rebellion, go!

Aim open fire!

[arrows twang]

[UCHIMURA] Just as I thought

they're ignoring us.

That's because their favorite

food is waiting for them.

[fire crackling]

The demi-humans fire

at the wyverns

as they pass over

the fortress walls

toward their target.

Inside the fortress,

the female demons

are gathered in a circle,

and the male demons

are arranged

to tightly surround them.

The wyverns will be drawn

to the women and then.

Attack!

[all yell]

[firing]

[UCHIMURA] They'll be brought

down from the sky.

[thuds]

It worked

but there're so many!

[wyverns roaring]

[firing]

[grunts]

They're coming

from over there, too!

What now?

[Gnome pants]

[grunts]

[groans]

[thuds]

[breathes sharply]

Hm.

[bell tolling]

On the right side!

Focus on the right side!

[arrows twang]

[wyverns roaring]

[UCHIMURA]

We managed to lure them,

but this has just

turned into a bloodbath!

We can't keep this up forever!

What we need is control

to cut through the chaos

and manipulate the b*ttlefield.

[bell tolling]

Second wave from the front,

get ready!

[all yelling]

[UCHIMURA]

Next wave coming from the left,

Focus fire!

I'll do anything I can

to help them.

I may not be strong.

[grunts]

But that doesn't mean

I'll run away!

Thanks, Ms. Sylphid!

This was quite handy!

[indistinct chatter]

Did we wipe them all out?

They aren't reporting

any more attacks.

[indistinct chatter]

[UCHIMURA]

The wyverns stopped coming.

It's so quiet.



[gasps]

[indistinct chatter]

[wind gusting]

[groans]

What is that?

[stomps]

[growls]

[expl*si*n]

[screaming]

Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no,

oh, no, oh, no!

[roaring]

[exploding]

[shudders]

[UCHIMURA]

What is this monster?

It's huge!

C'mon, think!

What's the plan?

First, we need to get

the demi-humans

out of here now!

[growls]

[gasps]

[roaring]

[UCHIMURA]

Not good!

Not good. Not good. Not good.

Not good. Not good. Not Good!

[thuds]

[crashes]

[breathes shakily]

[ULMANDRA]

Kept you waiting, huh?

[gasps]

[UCHIMURA]

Ms. Ulmandra?

[Ulmandra chuckles]

[ULMANDRA]

Don't act so surprised.

You think I could just sleep

while you were in danger?

You should've known

I would save the day!

All I can say is thank you!

I was done for!

That's nice

but save it for later.

Ulmandra, behind you!

-Look out!

-[crashes]

-Are you okay?

-[Ulmandra pants]

[ULMANDRA] [exhales]

This is a mess.

I can't stop shaking.

I tried to sound tough

in front of Uchimura,

but there's hardly

any magical power left in me.

Still,

he taught me

the importance of efficiency.

I'll concentrate

my remaining power like this

and give rise to

a new special move.

Better not blink!

Flash Fang!

[explodes]



[grunts]

[slices]

Don't show up last minute

and steal my glory!

[blood splattering]

[Sylphid grunts]

[SYLPHID] That speech made

quite the impression!

I couldn't help

but come running!

Ms. Sylphid and Ms. Gnome!

Now, the Four Elite Generals

have assembled.



[roaring]

The final blow!

[yells]

[yells]

[roaring]

[crashes]

[growling]

[exploding]

[all groan]



[UCHIMURA]

Is it over?

Did we win?

-That seems to be the case.

-Of course, we won!

-Uh

-Whoa!

Hey, you're not

looking so good!

You're right. I guess

I really was at my limit.

[SYLPHID] Then you should have

just stayed in bed.

[ULMANDRA]

Uchimura,

ring the bell of victory.

Huh.

[UCHIMURA] But are we really

sure it's over?

This was the calamity

that was supposed to

wipe out an entire country?

But why were the wyverns

carrying away their prey,

instead of eating them?

Maybe they weren't

feeding at all,

maybe they were collecting

resources like worker ants.

Then, where are they

carrying the food to?

Are they feeding

something else?

What if that's the calamity?

[rumbling]

[both gasp]

-What now?

-[SYLPHID] An earthquake?

The mountain, look!

It's moving!

[wyverns roaring]

[rumbling]

[all gasp]

[roaring]

This is it.

A true

disaster.

[stomps]

[roaring]

[Uchimura gasps]

No way.

We couldn't fight this monster,

even if we tried!

[stomps]

[roaring]

[OVERLORD] I shall

take the reins from here.

[all gasp]

[OVERLORD]

If we are met with a calamity

that is beyond

human comprehension,

then we must face it

with a proportionate power.

My Lord!

[OVERLORD]

The Four Elite Generals

have done their duty.

From here on it is a struggle

between calamity and King!

[firing]

Hm.

[explodes]



-[all gasp]

-He blocked that thing?

Look, he's not done yet!

[OVERLORD]

Conceptual magic.

Concrete development.

Construct

conceptual ritual!

Fall.

Mega Death!



[thuds]

[roaring]

[OVERLORD]

Still, you persist,

very well!

Conceptual ritual

recommence!



Perish.

Giga Death!

[thuds]

[wind gusting]



[all groan]

[breathes shakily]

[ALL]

Oh.

[rumbling]

[wyverns growling]

[all gasp]

His true power

it's incredible!

[OVERLORD]

Uchimura.

[gasps]

Sir?

[OVERLORD]

The battle is won.

As the commander,

you must inform our troops.

Hmm.

Right, at once!

[Uchimura chuckles softly]

The enemy was defeated!

We have claimed our victory!

[all cheering]

[Sylphid chuckles softly]

[chuckles]

[chuckles softly]

[GNOME]

Uchimura,

why don't you come with me

and help the demi-human troops?

Huh?

Now that I've witnessed

what you're capable of,

-I really want you.

-Uh, huh!

Then, you'll have

to wait in line!

And what's with

that stupid face, huh?

I saw how you were

-looking at her!

-Please don't k*ll me!

One calamity was enough!

[Overlord sighs]

YOKOHAMA IREBUN/MIDORI KINOUCHI

[MASTER] Humans need

eight hours of sleep

and yet, Koalas sleep twenty.

[exhales]

So, when you're lonely

become a koala.

[mumbling]
