00:00Yes, Mel?
00:07That's my master.
00:09I tried to conceal myself, but you noticed me right away.
00:12And how'd it go?
00:14Leave it to me.
00:15Your request has been relayed to its intended recipient.
00:18But I must ask, is there really any point in this?
00:24Who can say?
00:30Who can say?
00:59Sure, I told the king that people who live there can't even afford their daily bread.
01:04But that's merely knowledge you find in a book.
01:06A true villainess would head out and experience the situation for herself.
01:11The only problem with that is, there's no way I'll be able to get permission.
01:16Which means I have no choice but to sneak out.
01:19What's there?
01:30No, wait.
01:31I'm an actual villainess.
01:33A dark forest isn't enough to scare me away.
01:36The village of Ruana is supposed to be protected by a magical barrier designed to keep heinous criminals from getting out.
01:46But someone like me who has magic should be able to pass through it, I hope.
01:53There's the clearing.
01:54So this is it.
02:01That stench.
02:08Did someone pass out?
02:10No, that's a homeless person sleeping on the ground.
02:13I can't believe how bad things have gotten here.
02:18I'll be killed if I'm out of this noble.
02:20Young lady.
02:24Something's wrong.
02:25His eyes.
02:26There's nothing to be afraid of.
02:29Though it'd be wise of you not to draw your sword.
02:32Carelessly flaunting such things around here will only draw attention.
02:36You're not a kid from the village, are you?
02:39Tell me, why are you here then?
02:41I had to see Ruana myself to understand it.
02:45Hmm.
02:46In that case, come with me.
02:48Hmm.
02:56Now then, what is it that you would like to know?
03:01First, who are you exactly?
03:03I go by the name of Will.
03:05I'm just Will and nothing more, my good young noble.
03:09You can tell I'm a noble?
03:11But you're blind.
03:13Oh, I'm so sorry, sir.
03:15It's quite all right.
03:16There are plenty of clues I can pick up on without seeing you.
03:19Such as the way you walk.
03:21There was a slight difference in your footsteps between your left and right feet.
03:25That suggests you are not centrally balanced,
03:28which allowed me to infer that you carry a sword.
03:31The rustling of your clothes told me that you were a woman,
03:34not to mention the scent about you.
03:36You're clean.
03:37That stands out.
03:38And the fact that you were able to enter this village from outside
03:41confirms you are a noble who possesses magic.
03:45Back when these eyes could still see,
03:47I was surrounded by such people on a regular basis.
03:51For that reason, your presence is quite nostalgic to me.
03:53You were a noble as well?
03:56I actually worked at the royal palace,
03:59but I quarreled with someone of high peerage there and incurred their wrath.
04:03They took my sight and I was banished to this village,
04:07but that happened long ago.
04:08Oh my.
04:09Why would they do something so awful?
04:11Who can say?
04:13And what is your name?
04:14That would be Alicia.
04:16A fine name.
04:17I'll say this much.
04:19Just because our tradition has been long honored
04:21doesn't make it moral to practice in modern times.
04:25Why do you think it is that we study history?
04:28To make today better than yesterday.
04:31No matter how much you may learn from books,
04:33it's meaningless if you don't use it to improve the future.
04:36I can't believe such a wise person was thrown out of the palace.
04:42Do you hate the nobility?
04:44I'd be lying if I said I didn't detest them.
04:47However, I knew the day would come
04:49when a member of high society would understand what I did.
04:53And now I'd love to hear your story, if you're willing to share it.
04:57Tell me, what made you wish to see this place for yourself?
04:59Well, I... I just had to.
05:03Before I knew it, I was telling him everything there was to tell
05:06about my dream of becoming a villainess.
05:10He retained his calm expression while listening closely to my every word.
05:15I will most certainly visit again.
05:18You mustn't. It's very dangerous.
05:20No use in trying to stop me.
05:23I know I'm making trouble for him, but I don't want this to be the end.
05:27I've never met anyone quite like him.
05:30If you insist, but only venture here at night...
05:37And then...
05:46Two years passed.
05:50Growing up certainly isn't without its challenges.
05:53For the past two years, I've persisted in my studies,
06:04practiced my swordsmanship,
06:05and even continued to visit Grandpa Will.
06:09Only one thing has changed.
06:11My brother Albert turned 15 and entered the Magic Academy,
06:15where the ultimate game takes place.
06:17I'm sure Prince Duke has met the heroine by now.
06:20They may even feel the first sparks of love between them.
06:23I can't wait until the day that I get to confront them as the villainess!
06:28Alicia!
06:29Hmm?
06:29Do you feel like going into town with me today?
06:32Truly, Master Eric.
06:33I would love to go.
06:35Hang on a sec!
06:36The two of you can't go alone.
06:38I'll be going too.
06:39So will Alan be joining us?
06:40I think he still has some studying to do.
06:43Oh.
06:43I guess being twins doesn't mean you're joined at the hip, huh?
06:46Is there anything you'd like to see?
06:51Huh?
06:53Oh, right.
06:54I'm friends with the person who runs that shop.
06:58Hello.
06:59Thanks for coming in.
07:01Well, if it isn't Eric and Henry.
07:03Oh?
07:04And who's this young lady?
07:05My name's Alicia.
07:06Oh.
07:07You're Henry's little sister, right?
07:09I'm Paul, and I own this store.
07:11I have quite a collection of plants here.
07:13Well, it's mainly medicinal herbs, I suppose.
07:16My family specializes in green magic.
07:19Then you must be a noble.
07:21I'm just a carefree lower noble.
07:24Plants are truly amazing.
07:26They have the power to cure illness, heal the soul.
07:30I was blessed to be born into an environment where I could learn all about them.
07:33I wanted to use my knowledge to help people that were in need, so I decided to open this store.
07:38That's exactly what it means to make use of what you know.
07:41This little guy here, for example.
07:44Is that Josiah?
07:45If you infuse one spoonful of it into liquid, any high fever will come down in an instant.
07:50It's a truly priceless herb.
07:51You're familiar with it, then.
07:53I take it you must really like plants.
07:55Well, it's only common knowledge.
07:57If I didn't know such things, I'd be remiss in my studies.
08:01Nailed it.
08:02That's some top-tier villainous scene.
08:04I'll never use hard work and humility to appeal to others.
08:07After all, that'd be too heroine-esque for a baddie like me.
08:13I see.
08:14So it's common knowledge, huh?
08:16Uh, I guess I still need to study how proper villainesses behave.
08:21Well, aren't you a clever young lady.
08:24And Eric, you better not drag your feet or someone will steal her.
08:27Huh?
08:28Stop that!
08:29I never let you date my little sister!
08:31You three went to town together, right?
08:34Did you at least have some fun, Allie?
08:35I did!
08:36Lucky you!
08:37A date with our Allie.
08:39What?
08:40Stop glaring at me!
08:42Say, you really should go out with me next time.
08:46Do you have anywhere you want to go, or anything you want to do?
08:49Anything I want?
08:51There is one thing.
08:52I would like to be given the test of swordsmanship.
08:55Oh, boy.
08:56Alicia?
08:57Huh?
08:58I want to see where my training has brought me, but my father and brothers keep insisting
09:02that it is out of the question.
09:04You think that's fair?
09:06You're only ten years old, and you're also a girl.
09:09But you three were even younger than I am now when you took the test.
09:13And who cares if I'm a girl?
09:14When we said no, we meant no.
09:16If that's your decision, then I'd like you to explain your reasoning.
09:20Just give up already!
09:25Sorry to shout.
09:28I refuse to back down!
09:32You've given me no good reason to...
09:33That was pretty villainous-y, if I do say so myself.
09:43If we keep saying no, she's going to do it on her own.
09:56Maybe.
09:57Even so, we can't just tell her the real reason.
10:01I demand you tell me now!
10:03Alicia!
10:05Stop treating me like a little baby!
10:07Understand?
10:09You are still but a young girl.
10:11And I am your father.
10:13How could I not worry about my beloved, adorable daughter?
10:17But still...
10:18Here, how about this?
10:20When you turn 15 and join the Academy,
10:22we can discuss your goals and dreams for the future to your heart's content.
10:25Is that a good compromise?
10:28Fine, it's a promise.
10:30Please excuse me now.
10:31I know all I've done is bought us a bit of time.
10:39But...
10:40Our swordsmanship is already well beyond what a child should be capable of.
10:46If I allow her to take the official test, she'll garner a lot of attention, be it for better or worse.
10:51That is true.
10:53But I must assume that the five great noble families already know about what happened in the past.
10:58I don't think we'll be able to keep it hidden for much longer.
11:01But my dearest wish for her is that she have the chance to live out the rest of her youth as a normal child.
11:08This is the worst!
11:10They keep acting like I'm a baby.
11:12I get that ten-year-olds are children, but...
11:15If I want to be the greatest villainess ever, I can't afford to let any precious time go to waste.
11:21I know.
11:21I'll visit Grandpa Will and talk to him.
11:24Perhaps he can help me sort things out.
11:30This is the first time I've visited him during the day.
11:33I wonder if he'll even be at home.
11:35Don't you give me that shit!
11:43Is this the true face of Rwana?
11:45It's different than I imagined.
11:47I had no idea since I've only come at night.
11:52Oh, come on!
11:54Done already?!
11:55Hey, he's not getting back up.
12:00Guess he's dead then.
12:02Don't you pass out, rat!
12:04Oh, he's dead now!
12:06I warned you not to come at daytime!
12:08No, please wait!
12:09There's a little boy!
12:10And what do you intend to do?
12:14You're no more than a child yourself!
12:23Will he be alright?
12:25I did what I could to treat him, but it's not nearly enough.
12:28How awful.
12:29Unfortunately, this is a rather common occurrence in Rwana.
12:33There aren't any good kinds of medicine here.
12:36I gather all the children together to tell them stories and teach them writing and arithmetic.
12:42This boy, Jill, is an orphan.
12:45And even though he's only six years old, he possesses an intelligence that astonishes me.
12:50Had he received a proper education, I've no doubt he could have grown to be a remarkable man.
12:57But that can never happen.
12:59Not in Rwana.
13:00In a village of exiled criminals, even children are seen as such from the day they're born.
13:05As hard as it is to accept, there's nothing we can do to change it.
13:08And young Alicia, you mustn't blame yourself.
13:12I've wanted for nothing all my life.
13:15I've had a supportive learning environment and a kind family.
13:18Where you're born determines so much about your life.
13:23I was born with enormous privilege.
13:25I've been blessed to be sheltered like a special little girl.
13:28It's so disgraceful.
13:30Not that I want to help people.
13:32That isn't something a villainous would do.
13:35But I bet the heroine could have saved him.
13:39And if she's capable of doing something, then I need to be strong enough to pull it off too.
13:44I won't let them say I'm too young or too powerless.
13:48After all, I don't plan to be ordinary.
13:52Hello again, Mr. Paul.
13:54I was hoping to get some of your Josiah.
13:57Do you need a fever reducer?
13:59You're hoping someone's sick or injured?
14:01Oh.
14:02I mean, in rope.
14:07Here.
14:07No questions asked.
14:09Dissolve it in water and have them drink it.
14:11What?
14:12Oh, goodness.
14:13Thank you so much.
14:14And, um, how much do I owe you?
14:16Nothing at all.
14:17It's on the house today, young lady.
14:20And don't make a fuss.
14:21You just continue to patronize this shop, understand?
14:24I will.
14:25That's so generous of you.
14:26This won't be able to heal his wounds, but it will keep him alive.
14:34I can't thank you enough.
14:37Grandpa Will, I am completely inadequate.
14:40I thought I was doing everything right and becoming the greatest villainess ever.
14:45But if I can't take action when it matters, there's no point.
14:48From this day forward, I vow to work however hard I have to to become a villainess who goes
14:54down in history.
14:56A villainess?
14:58I'm on a mission to find myself a grimoire today.
15:01To become a great villainess, I must master my magic.
15:08Huh?
15:10Hey, I don't have any memory of this section being here.
15:15What's this?
15:16It's a real grimoire.
15:19Look at this section.
15:21There's a ton of books on magic.
15:23How did I miss these every other time I searched?
15:26Now, time to race up the stairway to villainess hood.
15:32Magic has different levels.
15:34Levels 50 and up require the mana of the five great noble families.
15:38The highest recorded level is 100.
15:41But I know, in one part of the game, the heroine and prince duke both exceed level 100.
15:47As the villainess of the story, there's a fair chance that I'm designed to always fall
15:51short of the heroine.
15:53But that's no excuse to not get out there and work as hard as I can.
15:56You never know until you try.
15:58Let's see.
16:02I'll start with level one magic and make something float.
16:05I just focus all the mana in my body and guide it down to my fingertips.
16:10There's no incantation, so I'm a little confused.
16:13Float on air.
16:14It's really floating.
16:20Does this mean I'm able to use magic?
16:23I'm in awe.
16:26Yeah, I guess I might need a little more practice to master it.
16:29Wow, I'm fired up now.
16:32I'm gonna keep learning as much as I can.
16:34Wow, look at them!
16:49I did it!
16:51And that's level five magic.
16:52If I can move all of these, it's safe to say I've mastered this objective.
16:59I stayed up all night practicing instead of sleeping.
17:02My limbs feel heavy.
17:04My head won't stop throbbing.
17:06I must not have enough stamina yet.
17:09I wonder if I can train to raise it.
17:12I'll take a five-minute break before starting on the next level.
17:16Alicia!
17:18The king is here to meet with me?
17:21Yes.
17:22I know it's out of the blue.
17:24My first villainous trial in only two years' time!
17:28I don't understand why you insist on seeing Alicia.
17:31It's been too long since I asked her opinion.
17:34Is that the only reason?
17:36You wouldn't be here if you thought it was the only reason.
17:38Is that not the truth, my son?
17:42It is an honor to see you once again, Your Majesty.
17:45I hope you're in good health.
17:46Ah, there you are.
17:48I see you're doing well.
17:50The heads of the five great noble families together.
17:53I can't be that famous of a villainous yet.
17:55All right then.
17:56To the point.
17:58Do you love this kingdom?
17:59What does that mean?
18:02I can never understand what's behind the king's questions.
18:05Let me phrase that in a different way.
18:07What do you think of the way this kingdom operates?
18:10What can I say and sound like an actual villainous?
18:14I detest its preferential treatment of nobles.
18:21Do you now, Anne?
18:23Well, it's systemically bad.
18:25After all, merely proclaiming oneself a noble
18:28places even the most incompetent individuals at the top.
18:32Who are you to insult us like that?
18:34No matter.
18:35Continue, please.
18:36Majesty?
18:38Forgive me.
18:39I did not mean to defame all nobles.
18:42But one only needs to possess mana to be one.
18:45Mana's very different than political prowess.
18:48No matter how much potential they have,
18:51commoners are never granted these kinds of opportunities.
18:53In such a magic-based class system,
18:56how much raw talent must be going to waste?
18:59It makes so little sense.
19:00It's giving me a horrible headache.
19:04That's enough.
19:05Watch your tongue this instant.
19:06Now, there's no need to shout.
19:08She's just a young girl with lofty ideas.
19:11I do wish they'd keep their voices down.
19:14That part about having an awful headache was true.
19:17Oh.
19:18Father, please.
19:20Should we...
19:21My dear, one last question for you, if I may.
19:25What you said applies to you as well.
19:27So you're aware that would mean being ousted
19:29from your place in the five great noble families?
19:32Yes.
19:32Of course I'm aware.
19:34I was born into this family through good fortune alone.
19:38And I believe it would be most uncouth
19:40to want my status guaranteed at the expense of people with more talent than me.
19:45You are truly an unusual child.
19:47That's enough for me.
19:52I don't know if I gave the right answers for the villainess I want to be.
19:57But I need to rest.
19:59I feel so very weak.
20:04Alicia, what's happening?
20:06Please wake up.
20:08I'm still here.
20:09What's going on?
20:13Allie!
20:14She just collapsed.
20:16I'm afraid she's been unwell this whole time.
20:20Let's get her to her quarters for now.
20:22I'll carry her there.
20:23Is someone there?
20:33Alicia.
20:36Have you come too?
20:37If you're awake, then take this.
20:40Can you drink some?
20:44Alicia, I'm begging you to please take the medicine.
20:50Forgive me.
20:51Ugh!
21:00Uh-uh-uh!
21:01You shook.
21:02You shook.
21:03Bye!
21:03Bye!
21:04Bye!
21:04Bye!
21:05Bye!
21:10Bye!
21:13Bye!
21:16Bye!
21:17What!
21:18Caesar!
21:18Bye!
21:20Bye!
