00:00Alicia, would you agree to serve the kingdom as Liz Cather's watcher?
00:06What do you mean by that?
00:08Are you familiar with the legend of the saint?
00:10Yes.
00:12Someday, a girl beloved by the gods will appear.
00:15She will join hands with a royal family to bring prosperity to the nation of Durkis.
00:20You're well informed.
00:22It was in a book I once read.
00:24We actually learned it in the game!
00:26Straight to the point.
00:28There's reason to believe that Liz Cather is the saint.
00:31I've heard you and Liz are already acquainted.
00:33I'm very curious, what was your impression of her?
00:37Her head seems to be quite the lovely field of flowers, no?
00:40You're a ruthless girl, but I can't deny the truth.
00:44All right, it's time.
00:50Please read it.
00:51It's an essay regarding Rowanna.
00:57What kind of idealized naivete is this?
01:00If she's going to be involved in our government as the saint, she must be capable of thinking realistically and
01:06critically.
01:06That's where you come in.
01:08I would request that you guide Liz toward becoming a respectable saint.
01:13That doesn't sound like the sort of thing a cold-hearted villainess like me would do.
01:18Your Majesty, please.
01:20Given the state of the Academy, saddling her with such a task would be...
01:25Liz has become a very well-loved person, hasn't she?
01:28However, it's beyond familiarity.
01:31That fondness is verging on widespread worship.
01:34There is essentially no one left at the Academy who would dare speak out against her.
01:40Oh boy, is that what they call plot armor?
01:43Do you have any idea what happens to people who criticize or disagree with her in front of her overzealous
01:48supporters, Alicia?
01:49They may find themselves hated and ostracized.
01:53Hated?
01:54You can refuse him.
01:55It's all right.
01:56You have no reason to take on the role of the villain.
01:59I shall accept it gladly.
02:02I, Alicia Williams, am fated to become the greatest villainess of all time.
02:31Impossible to imagine what the people at that castle are thinking.
02:35What do you even get out of the whole thing?
02:37Oh, come on.
02:38I didn't agree to it for free, of course.
02:41I made the king accept my conditions as well.
02:44Oh, yeah.
02:45I hope you're ready to get out of here soon.
02:47Huh?
02:51Goodness.
02:52That was quite a shock.
02:53And so were the conditions, she said.
02:55One request.
02:56I'd like my friend Jill from Rwana to be allowed to attend the academy with me.
03:02He's from Rwana?
03:03Impossible.
03:04You wouldn't dare to venture to that village on your own, would you?
03:08I've been going there for years.
03:14Jill was six years old when I met him.
03:17His parents had already been killed and he was on the verge of death himself.
03:21Now tell me, what sin does that boy bear for simply being born the son of criminals?
03:26There are all kinds of people in Rwana whose talent and creativity are going to waste.
03:31Just think, if they had a chance to get an education.
03:35There could be no one better suited for such a job.
03:39I get to leave the village?
03:41Well, there is a catch.
03:43You'll be doing so as my servant.
03:45I was always under the impression that people who work for nobles need to be of good breeding as well.
03:50Oh my.
03:51You don't want to go?
03:52Yes, I do!
03:54You're good enough.
03:55After all, I'm the villainess that discovered you, right?
03:58Best to be selfish enough not to miss chances in life.
04:02Hmm.
04:03This is completely unheard of.
04:05No one from here has ever left before.
04:08And I'm just getting started, too.
04:10It seems as though the saint has her eye on this village.
04:13Does she?
04:14The rest of the world will soon take an interest in Rwana, too.
04:18Change is coming to this place.
04:20Hmm.
04:22Grandpa Will, do you have any desire to return to the royal palace?
04:27It's just, I've been thinking.
04:29I'd be willing to ask the king to help you as well.
04:32I appreciate the thought, but...
04:35Remember, dear, I'm a criminal.
04:37I accepted my fate the moment I came to this village.
04:43I suppose I put him on the spot.
04:47Still, I can't believe I have to guide the author of that shiny, happy fairy tale.
04:55What in the world?
04:57She's covered in wounds.
04:59Help me, please.
05:02Stay calm, Alicia.
05:04A villainess never acts on emotion.
05:06She acts on logic alone.
05:16I can't treat her in dirty water.
05:22I may stand out, but...
05:24Casually saving a helpless life on a whim with no regard to what others may think?
05:29Sounds like the villainous way to me.
05:43What in the world are you doing, Alicia?
05:46She crawled over to me, reached out, and then begged me to help her.
05:49What's a little princess doing here?
05:55Did you use barrier magic?
05:57You shouldn't ever use that here.
06:01There are burns everywhere, and some are infected.
06:06My cross is from the right knee down.
06:09Can magic even heal this?
06:11She's too badly injured to be saved.
06:14I think she's from a house that just got burned down.
06:18I'm sorry.
06:19Here, the injured are doomed to die.
06:21There I go.
06:22Being arrogant again.
06:25I learned swordplay and magic so quickly.
06:28I convinced myself I could do anything I wanted.
06:32But this is the world of a video game.
06:34And even if I am posed as the rival of the protagonist,
06:38I'm by no means omnipotent.
06:40I can't fix everything.
06:42In her current state, she will soon be gone.
06:46Does the greatest villainess agree with my assessment?
06:50But a villainess isn't a doctor.
06:53I can't...
06:53Of course, that makes sense.
06:55So why don't you tell me just what kind of life this villainess who will go down in history wants
07:00to live?
07:01The type of woman I strive to be?
07:04She's determined and ambitious and hates lip service, but she's always calm and thoughtful, too.
07:11She's strong to her very core, filled with fortitude.
07:15I see.
07:17That's right.
07:18A true villainess doesn't give up until the end.
07:21Dark magic lends itself to tons of healing spells.
07:25But I don't know how to cure burns.
07:27With lower level magic, I could soothe inflammation from acne and rough skin.
07:31That's it!
07:37If a normal person can cure rough skin with it, I can figure out how to cure burns.
07:42Or I'm not the world's best villainess, am I?
07:53Enhance output now!
07:55Strike men!
07:56Strike men!
07:57What an immense amount of mana!
07:59You can do it!
08:09It worked!
08:11Her treatment isn't complete yet.
08:14Wait a sec!
08:16Bite down on that cloth.
08:17I'll do this in one quick stroke.
08:28Where am I?
08:32You shouldn't get up too quickly.
08:36My leg is gone!
08:37But why?
08:38Your right leg became necrotic.
08:40I'm afraid the risk to your life was too great, so I removed it.
08:44You're what?
08:46You lived to see another day.
08:49That's a good thing.
08:55I got lucky.
08:57If I'd grabbed anyone else right now, I'd be, you know...
09:01Thank you so much for saving me.
09:03There's no need to thank me.
09:05I don't go around helping people out of the goodness of my heart.
09:08I expect to be repaid in kind.
09:11Huh?
09:12So, my name is Alicia.
09:14And yours is?
09:15My name is Rebecca.
09:17It's lovely.
09:18Rebecca, I'm going to need you to be my personal informant.
09:22Huh?
09:28Behold, one and all!
09:30This woman brought back from the brink of death is a true miracle!
09:33The savior who'll guide your village!
09:35Lady Rebecca!
09:36Pardon?
09:37Please, what do you mean by that?
09:39Hmm?
09:40I'll explain.
09:41You're to listen to the villagers' opinions.
09:44And report everything back to me.
09:46Oh, that's all you want?
09:48But what for?
09:50To make the saint my pretext to become a villainess!
09:53What do you mean, make the saint your pretext?
09:56I told you about Liz Cather's essay, didn't I?
09:59In order to make that fairy tale a reality,
10:02I, as her watcher, need to know as much about Rolana's situation as possible.
10:08Tell the truth.
10:09Do you really think you can change Rolana?
10:11How would I know?
10:13I'm just the covert mastermind.
10:15The only people that can change it are the people that live there.
10:18I still have no intention of ever leaving the village.
10:22Grandpa will, really?
10:24Listening to you made me realize,
10:26rather than running away,
10:27I'd rather stay here and see how Rolana develops and changes.
10:30Well, not that I can see it literally.
10:34Of course.
10:42Now you can pass through the barrier for a little while.
10:46You two take care of yourselves.
10:48You do the same.
11:04Oh, wow.
11:05The outside world's pretty.
11:07But how bad was I to be robbed of it?
11:10Oh, so you were bad.
11:12No!
11:13That's good.
11:15Then you can carry yourself with pride.
11:21Being little is my weapon.
11:26My neck always feels so stiff in the morning.
11:34I'm off now, Father.
11:35Have a great day.
11:37Alicia, you're not having second thoughts, are you?
11:40Not a one.
11:41By the way, there's a certain matter we were going to discuss when I entered the Academy.
11:45Why were you always so against my taking the swordsmanship test?
11:50Because your skills are far too incredible.
11:54Well, it is a flattering explanation, at least.
11:58And so it begins.
12:00The Saint versus the Sinner.
12:02Here we go!
12:04Hey, that's Miss Alicia, isn't it?
12:07The one who got an exception?
12:08Her servant there?
12:10I heard he's an orphaned commoner.
12:12Excuse me.
12:13Are you Miss Alicia?
12:16Miss Liz has told me all about you.
12:18You're Master Albert's little sister, right?
12:20But truth be told, I see a stronger resemblance to Master Alan and Master Henry.
12:25I agree.
12:26I wonder if Master Henry's hair is this silky, too.
12:30You're being quite forward.
12:31I don't care for it.
12:33Really?
12:34All we were trying to do was...
12:36Alicia, dear.
12:37Good morning.
12:38Here she is, the Saint herself.
12:41I've been so looking forward to seeing you.
12:44Oh, Miss Liz.
12:45She just said she didn't care for us, right after her sudden violent outburst.
12:50No.
12:51That can't be true, can it?
12:52They came on a little too strong for my taste.
12:58That may be so, but it's no reason to hurt someone.
13:04Now be brave and apologize, okay?
13:06There's nothing to worry about.
13:08I'm sure they'll forgive you.
13:10I'm good, thank you.
13:18Was it smart to go against her in front of all those people?
13:24That's how you introduce a villainous.
13:26Perfection!
13:27It couldn't have gone any better.
13:29I gotta keep it together.
13:32Now what sort of evil deed...
13:45You're doing well.
13:46I'm glad.
13:47Why, Prince Duke...
13:49Using transport magic on me like that...
13:53Tell me, why did you accept my father's request?
13:57The Watcher thing.
13:58He knew about it?
14:00That's supposed to be top secret.
14:02I'm a prince, remember?
14:06The Saint works in collaboration with the royal family to bring prosperity to Durkis.
14:12In the game, Prince Duke was already in love with the heroine by now.
14:15Clearly he can sense that I'm up to all kinds of villainy.
14:19I accepted it so I can speak freely to the Saint.
14:22See, I can't be punished for doing evil if I'm following His Majesty's orders, can I?
14:37Go on, Yang, get away.
14:39That's how you treat a villainous.
14:45You're still wearing it, I see.
14:49I'm glad.
14:52How adorable.
14:53A girl who blushes as easily as that could never be evil.
14:58I...
14:59Even princes should keep their hands to themselves!
15:09Okay, plot twist!
15:10Who'd have thought Prince Duke would treat a woman other than his love in such a manner?
15:15Alicia!
15:18What happened back there?
15:19Your face has never looked like that before.
15:22Don't you worry about it!
15:24This is a blunder unbecoming of a villainous!
15:27I have to switch gears.
15:35Alicia, dear!
15:37Quite the tea party you've got going.
15:39I would be honored if you would join us.
15:42Well, well.
15:43Her whole fan club's in attendance.
15:46Looks like the stage is set.
15:48Time to begin.
15:50The invitation is much appreciated.
15:52But as it happens, I've come to get your thoughts on a different matter.
15:56Is that...
15:57Yes, the essay you wrote for class.
16:00It seems to have been well received.
16:02Your teacher made a copy of it for me.
16:06Based on this, I take it you hold the belief that all people are created equal?
16:10And that the hierarchy imposed upon them by this nation is problematic?
16:15I do.
16:16For that reason, the wall around Rwana, which stands as a monument to poverty, should be torn down.
16:22This will free its suffering people to live happy and abundant lives.
16:26And our citizens will rejoice in our neighbors' good fortune.
16:30Everyone will be happy and there shall be no more inequality.
16:33Ha!
16:36A terribly shallow and unrealistic screed.
16:40And worst of all, so boring that it was a struggle to even finish it.
16:43Wha?
16:44You've crossed the line.
16:46First-rate villainy, I must say.
16:49All right then, heroine.
16:51You're up.
16:53Alicia, dear.
16:54Aya, I'd find it very helpful if you'd explain why you find it unrealistic.
16:59It's impossible for all people to be equal.
17:02Thus, your essay is but a fairy tale.
17:05And yet if we were to give up on pursuing that ideal, what would we have left to stand for?
17:09Right.
17:10In the game, the heroine gives her dauntless rebuttal, increasing the conquerable boy's affection for her.
17:16And the villainess gives up and leaves.
17:19But I wanted her to put up more of a fight.
17:22You think you can end systemic inequality by tearing down a wall?
17:26It's hardly as simple as that.
17:28Without proper measures in place, public order will deteriorate.
17:33You truly think so little of those villagers?
17:36You assume they'll run around and start causing trouble, that they won't display any gratitude.
17:41You'd expect them to be grateful?
17:43To have outsiders arrogantly claim credit for curing their resentments?
17:47Dear Alicia, to be free from resentment is a gift.
17:51Forgiveness could bring about a true age of peace.
17:54Idealistic arguments will change nothing.
17:56You need to gain a realistic perspective of the situation and formulate a logical step-by-step approach.
18:02It is precisely that which is missing in the essay you wrote.
18:13I've heard just about enough.
18:15I was simply pointing out the obvious flaws in her writing.
18:18You know, if all of you weren't so busy fawning over her, you might have done her that favor.
18:24I will not have you belittle our friendship!
18:27Ha! I suppose blind acceptance is how the small-minded show their love.
18:31How sad to be surrounded by so many people, all of whom are utterly useless.
18:36You may say whatever you wish about me, but please don't speak ill of my friends!
18:44A cheerful disposition that everyone loves, a beautiful appearance, an incomparable amount of mana, and unprecedented proficiency in every magical
18:52element.
18:53You certainly are blessed.
18:55Come to think of it, you are the embodiment of inequality.
18:59Please, don't misunderstand me.
19:02I don't believe it's necessary or practical for all people to be equal.
19:07Environment, family, looks, talent, no two people are ever going to be the same.
19:13Indeed, it is that very fact which makes us competitive and ambitious enough to train and grow.
19:19Viewed in that light, the resulting hierarchy is a healthy thing.
19:23If we ignore people's strengths in order to establish a false sense of equality, is that not unfair in itself?
19:31I wouldn't suggest that.
19:33In that case, what is your idea of equality?
19:38You are a blessed and important person.
19:41It is incumbent upon you to recognize the weight your words hold and take care in how you wield them.
19:47Because if you don't, they are liable to become a burden the weaker among us are forced to carry.
19:53Alicia.
19:54Hey, Liz, all that fancy talk-
19:56I can't argue.
19:58I didn't think it through enough.
20:01Even so, I still believe it's wrong to abandon the pursuit of our ideals.
20:05I want to strive for a world where everyone can be happy.
20:09That's what I like to see.
20:11No heroine worth her salt would give in to evil that easily.
20:15I see my hopes for a more constructive debate were all in vain.
20:19How disappointing.
20:27Miss Liz, please put her harsh words out of your mind.
20:30I cannot.
20:31Because though they were harsh, they were spoken for my benefit.
20:36Hmm.
20:40Alicia Williams?
20:43Our first battle.
20:45Not too shabby, eh?
20:47Next time she spouts that goody two-shoes drivel, I'll shut her down on the spot.
20:52Because after all, I'm the villainess in this story.
20:57wirtschafts are a lot harder.
20:57I'll show you what we do to March for three before they want.
20:58Make a statement about changes treating you more beautiful, doesn't mean anything.
20:58Bye.
20:58Bye.
20:59Bye.
20:59Bye.
21:00Bye.
21:00You
