How did this happen?!
You're laughing too hard, Nyanko-sensei!
It's your fault we got here in the first place. I'm blaming you!
Are you... Nyanko-sensei?
You're not Himeragi?
I'm Yukina's master.
Hence, it shouldn’t be shocking we both use the same technique.
That's true, but...
I'm sorry, Kanase.
This isn't Himeragi.
Hey, Kanase!
My, oh my!
Well, it’s what happens when the Fourth Progenitor runs at full speed.
It can't be helped, right?
Don’t say “my, oh my”!
Damn, is there a place to rest?
This is a misunderstanding.
We were just sleeping together since we were tired.
Eh? What I mean by "sleep" isn't...
Even though this looks bad, Kanon is a mature girl.
If she trusts you and is willing to give herself to you,
then there is nothing more to discuss.
No, the problem isn't that she’s willing to give herself to a man…
However, now you must take responsibility as a man, Fourth Progenitor.
You said that on purpose, didn't you?!
Father?
Ka-Kanase!
Yume-chan?
Yume?
A lord?... even she's participating in the Lord War?
By the way, what is going on with this TV show?
It’s a broadcast of each lord candidate’s current rank, based on the number of territories and followers.
Wait, what?
So it’s all just for a show?
Well, it's only demons killing each other.
For most citizens, the war has been just a minor inconvenience.
People have obviously been hurt.
I saw Nagisa-chan just now.
I also briefly saw Yaze.
Why are they in Yume's domain?
Well, they're fine.
Yeah.
What? Kasuko? Even she?
Kasugaya Shizuri Castiella: the lord of the Saikai Academy domain.
She has 26,000 followers.
She's 11th place in the leader rankings.
I see.
Since Kasuko is an Ogre
and Yume is a succubus,
are you protecting everyone as lord candidates?
The 24th lord's ranking?
Doesn't that look awesome?
Well, it's not just my power.
You'll have to thank Lydianne-san and these children.
Did you raise these demon beasts here?
It's incredible.
As expected of the best elite all-girls school in the demon sanctuary.
Lilith's name can be used while bluffing. It really helps a lot.
I see.
Yumebo is also trying hard!
Great! Great!
Don't touch me like we’re close!
And that’s a rude nickname, too!
Hey, Lord candidate! [Ryoushu kouho-chan]
We brought food for the demon beasts.
Can I put it here?
Note : Fix the name Ki to ==> Kii or Key [ Kī ; キイ] for the correct spelling
Thank you so much, Kii Onii-san!
Oh my, Yume-chan is so cute today! Like!
Zana Onee-san. You’re making me uncomfortable.
I feel like I've seen them somewhere?
Huh?
See you around, Akatsuki Kojou. Have a good trip.
What was that feeling just now?
Senpai...
Those two just now, could they be...
Himeragi, what's wrong?
Akatsuki Kojou.
Aladar, what's wrong?
Have you seen a suspicious couple?
Two people who stand out?
Ah, I just met a guy named Kii.
Kii Juran Barada.
Why do you know that person's name?
That person?
Kii Juran Barada is the First Progenitor, who rules the Empire of the Warlord.
His code name is "Lost Warlord". [Oblivion Warlord]
W-Why are you here?
Lost War-
Don't.
You can't say that name.
Not yet. Not now.
Why are you guys in Yume's domain?
That’s a good question.
I'm wondering why myself.
Maybe because she's cute!
Yume-dono, there's an intruder!
The Matsunaga domain (Class-B, Group 2) is at the main gate.
At the south gate, the Red Thunder (Class-C, Group 1)
and the Jaws (Class-C, Group 2) are joining forces.
And at the north gate: the Shironio Joshiko domain.
The domain’s lord is the Necromancer Homeric, witch of the dead.
They are Class-B, Group 1.
If we tally all of the enemy’s forces together, there is about 34,000.
That's so many.
What should we do, Yume-chan?
Surrender is not an option.
Our opponents are Lord Candidates who are all hostile to the Tenso school.
Who knows what will happen if they subjugate us.
That's true.
But, how can we win?
Even with Yume-chan...
Don't worry, you can leave this to Onee-san.
Zana Onee-san.
We have to repay you for the room and meals.
That's the Japanese's Bushido, isn't it?
I can understand the thrill of possessing power.
But, an overbearing kid still needs to be disciplined.
Eh?! She punched a familiar?!
Jeez! The way young people use Magic these days is just abysmal.
Yume-chan! There’s a zombie from the Shironio domain at the north gate!
Did they make a zombie by gathering a bunch of corpses?
That's pretty cruel.
Well then, now to return them to the earth.
Bang!
What?! What happened?!
Impossible.
That was the magic of a reverse phase, used to offset the original magic.
Is it possible that the necromancy has been canceled out?!
Is that really possible?!
Magic Mute.
A technique that nobody has been able to use, until now.
And he can use it with no aftereffects. Huh?
Sorry, miss.
Yume-dono!
Leviathan's live missiles?!
So far, the attack is just a warning, but...
Do you still want to fight?
What’s your primary objective, Kii Juran Barada?
Why did you help Yume?
Don't tell me you were planning on becoming to the Lord of Itogami Island…
Oh! That sounds like a lot of fun!
Hey!
I'm just kidding, boy.
While I did enjoy myself during this silly quarrel,
we still have other objectives.
Objective?
Exterminate Ghosts!
So, why did you suddenly come here?
You should still be in the prison managed by the community of Artificial Island Management.
I’m here because the official community buildings were all destroyed.
There's no need to imprison me anymore.
And the official record shows that Kanase Kensei is not a criminal,
even after escaping from the demon shelter.
His situation is different from other criminal magicians.
Escape?
A small portion of the demons acting as lord candidates are escaped prisoners.
So keep that in mind.
Besides, no matter how bad it gets, it won't be such a mess in just two days.
I see.
But the really dangerous guys are overseen by Natsuki-chan.
So it should be alright.
Huh? Why aren’t you saying anything?
You'll know the reason soon enough.
We need to move.
Hold me, Kanon.
You too, Fourth Progenitor.
This place...is it your laboratory?
President-sama.
Oh, Kanon.
You must be tired from the long journey.
Do you have any jet lag?
I'm fine.
That's really not the first thing you should worry about, is it?
Why is Nina here?
I called her.
The one with the best knowledge of homunculus repair is undoubtedly the alchemist.
Homunculus?
Onii-san!
Astarte!
What does this mean?
What happened to Astarte?!
The End Order.
What?
The night the Key Stone Gate was attacked by The End Order,
Astarte went to support the floundering Island Guard forces,
accompanied by Natsuki.
The enemy has a magic sword with the power to cut through a familiar.
Note : Hauras ; ハウラス , Hau rasu, How lath, Havres
The End Order has a magic sword like the Hauras.
What happened to Natsuki-chan?
There's no way she would let Astarte stay like this.
Minamiya Natsuki has been eaten.
Eaten?!
The End Order used tentacles to catch and swallow Minamiya Natsuki.
Astarte saw the whole thing.
We still don't know if she's dead or alive.
What exactly do you mean by eaten?
Natsuki-chan's physical body is inside the prison barrier, right?
How could it hurt her?
Under normal circumstances,yes.
But it's a different story if the enemy has a Space Mage more powerful than the Witch of the Void.
Maybe they used her astral clone in the real world as a "key"
to get through the prison barrier. It may be possible.
What does The End Order intend to use the prison barrier for?
If I knew, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
It tastes awful.
You don’t like it?
I don't mean to be rude, but this is worse than Astarte's piss.
I suppose it suits you.
You damn woman!
What’s wrong? Why don't you finish it?
You can’t, can you?
It’ll be problematic if I wake up, right?
You noticed?
The tentacle that grabbed me at the Keystone Gate.
It's the same type of guardian as my Rain Gold,
which means you’ve made the same contract as me.
In other words, you must be acting as the warden of the prison barrier.
Isn't that right, octopus girl?
Stop it, Meriloe. [ メリロエ ; Meriroe ]
We can’t let you wake up,
since you’re the one who sustains the prison barrier.
If there isn’t someone dreaming, the dream itself will disappear.
If you like dreams so much, why don’t you dream it yourself?
I know of a sleeping pill that may work.
Or would you like me to sing a lullaby?
That's a very tempting offer.
But unfortunately, I can't dream either.
Which is why I'm seeking your dreams.
Do you know of the collective subconscious?
It's the foundation of magic.
It exists apart from all nations and races as the collective subconscious of all mankind.
Yes, you’re exactly right.
Well, one of the ways to gain access to the subconscious is by dreaming.
In other words,
all dreams are connected through the collective subconscious.
What?
In the deepest part of your prison barrier,
there's a door you’re unaware exists.
A door that can connects to the prison of another world that existed in the past.
Rain Gold!
Outis!
With Meriloe, who is also a prison warden like you,
we can open that door.
We can use the gate to free End Order apostles who were imprisoned in the past.
So that's the play.
Since ancient times, in the name of the Fourth Progenitor,
there have been repeated attacks made by a large-scale, magical terrorist group.
Is that the End Order’s true identity?
Yes.
We are everywhere,
throughout the past.
We fight so people will never forget the name
of the Fourth Progenitor, the strongest vampire who was cursed by God.
In the prison of the other world,
End Order apostles from previous eras are waiting.
I will free them.
Once I do, they will be resurrected on Itogami Island in this world,
to make people feel true despair.
What is the End Order’s real goal?
To elect a new lord.
A new king who can save the people from despair.
And not just for the demon sanctuary, but a true lord for this world.
They’ve already started to move.
That was pretty fast.
Well, we’ve gone up to the top rank because of our victory just now.
That’s why they’ve decided to strike first, before we become stronger.
That’s the lord in 2nd place.
The "Special Zone Liberation Army" led by Lionel Yutani.
Are the members mostly demons mercenaries from the former Island Guard?
These guys are already difficult enough.
Note : The Chairman is Shitara Hakusan.
And that way is the 4th ranking, Gokuraku Shoukai Domain.
I guess they plan to attack from behind while we recover?
What a despicable guy.
What should we do, Lord candidate-chan?
Should we start with this side first?
How could we possibly do that?!
The opponent is a large-scale domain with 100,000+ followers!
Ehh? This is kind of boring.
Are we going to stare at each other like this forever?
They'll wait for the night, right?
Nighttime?
Whether a beast race or a vampire,
they'll show their true potential at night.
What? How weird...
What the hell is that?
A gate to another world?
What's this vibration?
It looks like the huge vibration is from space.
I'm afraid it's the End Order.
What the hell are you doing? You guys!
The End Order!
They're attacking indiscriminately.
To all who wish to become the new Lord of Itogami Island!
This is the beginning of the true lord war.
Defeat the rival lords.
The rules for those who take other domains and their followers have not changed.
But, don't be careless.
The End Order apostles will attack all followers in every domain without exception.
A lord who lacks the power to protect their followers
is not fit to rule Itogami Island.
Please tell everyone in the domain this:
Evacuate to the Tenso School immediately.
Understood!
Lydianne, help to confirm the Apostles' position in each domain.
Also, request more demon support from the affiliate domain.
Order received!
I'm leaving with the demon beast to fight the Apostles.
Copy! I can handle things here.
God, this is still bad.
No matter what we do, there are still too many enemies.
It's going to be hard to protect everyone if it stays like this.
Hey, Zana. What do you think?
Well, it all feels a little strange.
Strange?... What does?
How should I say this… the magic’s style looks too chaotic.
Style?
With magic, there are both popular and not popular styles,
even if it's magic with the same effect.
These styles change, depending on the country, ethnicity, and even the era.
Vampire familiars also change according to the era.
The familiar's appearances are basically from the host’s imagination.
Right now, the four elements are popular.
So even the type of physical attack follows this trend.
It's around a 300 year cyclic process.
Really?
So, those guys have a chaotic style, which means...
They're not apostles from this era.
That’s what I think.
Let's confirm.
As I thought.
These guys aren't human beings from this era or this world.
They’re borrowing power from the tasteless masks,
which permits them to only temporarily appear.
So, if we destroy the masks,
they’re forced to return to the prison barrier.
Yumebo, Tank Rider!
I already told you, please don't call me that!
We have to destroy the masks, right?
Yes, sir. Understood!
We can do this!
Gokuraku Shoukoukai [極楽商工会 ] The Paradise Chamber of Commerce!
Attacking the domain at a time like this…
Damn, their objective is to…
Yume-chan!
Yumebo!
Are you okay, Yume-chan?
I made it in time. Thank god.
Yukina Onee-san.
Everything’s okay now. We'll protect you.
We?
The Lord of Saikai Academy domain.
Kasugaya Shizuri Castiella!
I've come to help you!
Himeragi-chan.
At last, everything’s all right…
As expected, that girl was the Fourth Progenitor's Blood Servant.
Don't kill her yet, Zana.
If you do, then I won’t have an opponent to play with.
Hmm, then what should I do?
There’s also that girl.
A white-haired Ogre and the Hauras, right?
As expected of the Demon Sanctuary.
Now I definitely won’t be bored.
The special trip here was totally worth it.
Come forth, Mesarthim Adamas!
Christ, are you trying to destroy all of the buildings?
It’s not like a have a choice!
Jeez! They keep coming one by one, and it’s endless!
The enemy is using the prison barrier as their way through.
They'll keep coming as long as we don't close it.
Close it? How do I close it?
I see.
We have to get Natsuki-chan back!
Correct.
Usually, it would be almost impossible to breach the prison barrier from the outside.
But, if the door is still open,
and there's a Mage with space control techniques, it's not difficult to enter.
Isn't that right, Kanase Kensei?
Good grief.
You make it sound so easy.
I can't guarantee your safe return.
I don't care.
I just need to knock out the End Order witch, right?
Let's do this, father.
Note : 親父 (Oyaji) : an old man (elderly man) Or an old man (father)
You have no reason to call me your father-in-law.
I didn't mean it like that!
I won't allow it.
Old man! [Oyaji-san]
Ideally,
I didn’t want you to see me in this form again,
but I have no other choice.
I can't let you free Minamiya Natsuki yet.
The Blood.
Nyanko-sensei ! I leave Kanase's father to you!
Come forth, Regulus Aurum!
Come forth, Primus Aurum!
