00:00The story begins in a world called Earthclear, which is a magical land of swords, sorcery,
00:05and beasts. In this world, everyone has their own stat menu, which they can use to view and
00:11improve their level and personal talents. One of these people is Koji, an ordinary young man
00:16counting his earnings under a tree. Suddenly, he hears the shout of a little boy getting attacked
00:21by a slime monster. As the poor boy and his dad think they're doomed, out of nowhere,
00:26a coin shoots out and completely obliterates the slime, which explodes into a bunch of coins after
00:32its defeat. Koji comes out to check on the scared father and son. Both of them are shocked,
00:37since common people like them have no chance of defeating monsters, but Koji doesn't answer
00:42their question immediately. Instead, he gives the boy some gold coins, explaining that a slime gives
00:48100 bronze coins upon death. Koji thinks that monsters are a great way of farming infinite
00:54money. But the young boy doesn't agree, since he thinks it's too dangerous to hunt them. Koji
00:59understands the boy's feelings and starts to leave, but he stops after the boy asks if he has the hero
01:05class. To answer his question, Koji simply displays his status window to Aura Farm, which shows his class
01:11and rank as a level 999 villager. In Koji's world, the country of Japan has long transformed into a nation
01:19called Hexandria. Some time in the past, magical monsters appeared in the nation, while people
01:24started receiving special talents called classes at birth. Usually, people are born as a warrior,
01:30monk, thief, hunter, and sorcerer. But some exceptional geniuses may have a sage, hero, or king talent with
01:37incredibly powerful abilities. Any person born without these gifted talents is called a villager,
01:43which is the weakest class of them all. Although villagers usually remain between level 1 and 10,
01:48with no hope of defeating even the weakest monster, Koji somehow found a way to far surpass this limit.
01:54While he walks along his path, elsewhere, a hooded little girl reaches the exterior of an ancient
02:00cavern, which is rumored to hold the legendary sacred sword inside. Meanwhile, Koji reaches the
02:06city of Valmon, where he walks towards the local adventurer's guild. In the same city, the hero of the
02:11nation, along with his partner, both prepare to set out on their journey to purge the world of all the
02:17monsters plaguing it. Inside the guild, Koji hands over the materials for his quests to the receptionist,
02:23who gives him a reward of 5 gold coins. Hearing this, all the nearby adventurers are stunned,
02:29since it would require a huge amount of monsters to earn so much money in one go.
02:34Naturally, Koji continues aura farming and silently checks out the quest board, noting that he still
02:40needs to make over 4,500 gold for a personal goal. While checking the quest, he notices one of them
02:45offering easy gold coins for monsters from the ancient cavern, so he grins and prepares to work
02:51hard for the day. Outside the guild, the young hero, Rex, rallies all the townsfolk with a heartfelt
02:57speech. He reminds everyone of the imminent threat of monsters around them, causing the kingdom's
03:02capital to send all their warriors on dangerous quests just to fend them off. The hero points out that
03:08unless they treat the root cause of the issue, the monsters will swallow them all eventually.
03:13In reality, all fantastical monsters are produced by mana, which is a special substance released by
03:19the demon race. In the hero's eyes, the demon race, led by the demon king, is the true reason that
03:25the
03:25humans are suffering from monster attacks. As Rex boldly declares that the demon race should be
03:31exterminated, Koji hears his words while getting ice cream from a nearby stall. Meanwhile, Rex asks the crowd
03:38for any brave warriors willing to join his cause. Watching the talented young hero and the beautiful
03:44sage standing by his side, the adventurer's crowd goes wild as many of them try to join them. One of
03:50them, an experienced warrior at level 86, offers to lend the hero his aid. Surprisingly, Rex coldly
03:57refuses the man's offer, saying that he doesn't need dead waits who can't contribute to his cause.
04:02The adventurers are outraged by his arrogant claim, so he silences them all by displaying his impressive
04:08level 90 hero status. Then, the warrior asks Rex if the sage next to him is qualified, since she is
04:15only at level 42. Rex explains that despite her lower level, his partner sage has excellent support
04:21capabilities due to her powerful class, so she is more than qualified to fight with him. In addition,
04:27he also reveals that she's King Simon's third daughter, Princess Krull, so she has accepted her
04:33destiny to fight for the nation's cause. Though the crowd is silenced by the hero's logic, a level 80
04:39priest still tries to join him. Rex still refuses, pointing out that the priest is too old, so he
04:45doesn't want him to get hurt along the journey. After the old priest, a younger priest at an impressive
04:50level 70 asks if he can join, but Rex claims that he doesn't have the potential to get stronger in
04:56the
04:56future. Facing his strange rejections, the adventurers grow restless, and an insecure young
05:02girl called Tina wonders if she can join, since she's only a level 50 priestess. The crowd thinks
05:07there's no way, but Rex instantly accepts her into his party, proving that he's simply a pervert,
05:13not a righteous savior. Watching the scene from a distance, Koji figures that this young hero is
05:18simply trying to make a name for himself by surrounding himself with beautiful women and gaining the
05:24prestige of defeating the demon lord. Then, after another beautiful girl steps up to join Rex,
05:30Koji leaves, losing interest in their ambitions. Some time later, he arrives outside the entrance of
05:35the cave, hoping to get a luxurious sushi dinner after returning home with the bounty. After a short
05:41while, he encounters the first blue devil inside. Despite the monster's ferocious strength, Koji defeats it
05:47with a single blow and starts gathering the money like it's a house chore. He proceeds to demolish a few
05:53more blue devils, one of whom drops its horn, which is a precious, rare item. Although the horn emits
05:59powerful mana like the demon race, Koji doesn't understand why it sells for so much. As he tries
06:05to complete his quest goal of defeating 30 blue devils, he runs into the hero's party along the way.
06:11The party encounters a blue devil, which Rex easily kills with a single slash of his sword. The girls
06:17behind him are impressed, but Tina notices Koji's presence behind them, so he quickly hides behind a
06:23wall, wanting to avoid the arrogant hero. Meanwhile, Princess Krull is eager to move forward,
06:28so her teammate, the mage Parna, teases her for the enthusiasm. The princess is pleasantly surprised
06:34by her casual treatment, since people usually treat her distantly, so Tina also asks if she can
06:40be on good terms with her. As the princess nods, Parna asks Rex why they're visiting the ancient cavern,
06:46since the demon lord's palace is in another direction. The hero explains that they're here to obtain a
06:52special item, which can only be found after following the strange crests hidden in the dungeon's
06:57maze. However, only the royal family knows this secret, so Rex is using Krull's help to track the
07:03treasure down. At the end of the maze, he reveals that a sacred sword is hidden at an altar, which
07:09can only be equipped by a hero of level 90 or higher. Hearing this, the two other girls are shocked,
07:15but Parna wonders why the kingdom didn't just use the sacred sword earlier to defeat the demon lord.
07:20Rex explains that although a level 90 hero can use the sword, it does not mean that he can
07:25immediately master it and defeat the demon lord, so the kingdom kept it hidden for a worthy user.
07:31Now, since the king's precious daughter is following the hero in a dangerous quest,
07:36he immediately agreed to let him use the sacred sword for her protection. After his explanation,
07:41Rex turns around, filled with confidence. He believes that he's destined to become the savior
07:46of humanity once and for all with the legendary weapon, and the girls look forward to their
07:51exciting journey in the future. Elsewhere in the cavern, the hooded little girl from earlier
07:56continues her search, failing to realize that her demon horns are exposed for anyone to see.
08:02Meanwhile, Koji finds himself surrounded by a pack of blue devils, which he effortlessly takes
08:07out in an instant. After defeating the devils, he notices that there are many more monsters than
08:12unusual in the cavern's depth. Soon, the hooded girl runs past him, so Koji warns her about the
08:18blue devils. However, the dangerous monsters remain completely passive with the girl, and they allow
08:24her to pass them safely. Koji defeats the devils, but he feels more interested in the mysterious young
08:30girl who just left somewhere else in the dungeon. The hero's party starts to get overwhelmed by the
08:35onslaught of the blue devils. Parna thinks it's normal to be so winded since the cavern is a dangerous
08:41dungeon, but Rex thinks these numbers are completely abnormal. Tina heals the princess before moving to
08:47heal Rex, but she warns him that she's running out of mana. The poor girl apologizes for her pitiful
08:53stamina, feeling impressed that Parna could survive those monsters without a single scratch. Parna winks,
08:59pointing out that she is very experienced with stronger dungeons. Behind them, the princess feels
09:04guilty for being the weak link, but Rex comforts her and reminds everyone that they've reached the
09:09sacred sword's location. However, when they go inside, they find the strange hooded girl at the
09:15sword's location. Princess Krull notes that this girl is radiating immense amounts of mana, so everyone
09:20grows hostile, thinking she's a demon. Rex finally realizes that all the monsters in the dungeon were
09:26attracted to this girl's mana. More importantly, he sees that the sword is missing, so he accuses the
09:32girl of stealing it. The girl claims that the sword was missing before she arrived, but Rex refuses to
09:38believe her. Even against a child, the hero's party decides to have no mercy. Led by the hero, they all
09:44attack the helpless little girl, who closes her eyes in fear. Nobody notices that before the attacks can
09:50hit, a blazing fast shadow arrives by the girl's side. As the smoke clears from the attack's explosion,
09:56the party is shocked to see the girl completely unharmed with Koji standing by her side. He scolds the
10:02party for attacking a child, while Rex feels shocked by his incredible strength. He asks Koji what his
10:08class is, so Koji simply claims that he is an ordinary villager. Rex doesn't believe him, thinking
10:15he used a magic item to block the attacks. However, Koji reassures him that he blocked it on his own,
10:21and he even displays his status window. The princess accepts his word, but then she asks why he was
10:27sheltering a demon from them. This throws him into a panic, but Koji claims that the girl is just his
10:33little sister, who is wearing the demon horns as a fashion accessory. Everyone is shocked by this,
10:38but Koji shows them his adventurous quest, explaining that he was simply hunting monsters
10:43with his sister. He also shows them the devil horns, which radiate mana similar to demons, so the hero's
10:50party reluctantly believes him. Still, despite accepting this flimsy explanation, Rex asks him why the
10:56sacred sword is missing from its spot. Koji is confused for a second, but then he recalls that
11:02he just stumbled upon the sword one day, and sold it for some coins. Hearing this, Rex is outraged,
11:08and he tells Koji that the sword belonged to the royal family. Koji acts like he had no idea,
11:13and he starts apologizing. However, Rex asks him how he pulled out the sword in the first place,
11:19since it was only meant for level 90 heroes to wield. Koji understands his confusion,
11:24so he turns around and places his hands on the giant sword stone. In front of their shocked eyes,
11:29he easily lifts up the heavy platform, proving his strength without a single word. Rex wonders what
11:35level he is, so he finally shows them his ridiculous level 999 rank. The hero refuses to believe he could
11:42reach such a ridiculous level, especially since he himself has fought an incredible amount of monsters.
11:48However, Kral asks Koji how he'll repay her since he sold off a priceless item from the royal family.
11:54She wonders if he will join their party to defeat the demon lord, but he instantly refuses. Rex thinks
12:00that Koji is fumbling the bag, since he could easily defeat the demon lord on his own. Koji doesn't
12:06care about his ambitions, saying that his only purpose in life is to just make money and survive.
12:12He points out that the demon lord never hurt him, so he won't fight him without a reason.
12:16While the little girl is surprised, Princess Kral wonders if the promise of riches and glory is not
12:22enough to move his heart. Koji shakes his head, so the princess offers to marry him if he defeats
12:27the demon lord for the sake of their suffering people. As Rex begins to protest, Koji refuses
12:33Kral's generous offer without hesitation. Although he doesn't think that the hero's party is evil,
12:38he tells them that he's completely uninterested in worldly fame and achievements. Koji also thinks
12:44that the princess is being hypocritical by ignoring the suffering of others. After saying this,
12:50he starts leaving with the little girl, but stops right beside the hero, Rex. In an ominous tone,
12:55Koji warns him that he has no idea how their world truly works. After delivering his warning,
13:01he leaves the cavern with the little girl. Once they are outside, Koji begins parting ways with her,
13:06but suddenly, she asks him to marry her. Koji immediately tells the girl that there is no chance he is
13:12going to marry her, then turns around and walks away. The girl quickly runs after him and keeps
13:18trying to change his mind. Koji tells her that he has no interest in marrying someone so young.
13:24He explains that he prefers older, more mature women with hourglass figures. The girl refuses to
13:29give up. She says it does not have to happen today. She is willing to wait three years or even
13:34longer if
13:35she has to. All she wants is for Koji to promise that he will marry her someday. Ignoring that request
13:41for
13:41now. Koji asks why she wanted the sacred sword in the first place. The girl explains that her
13:47father has become seriously ill. She believed that if a hero obtained the sacred sword, they might end
13:53up killing him. Koji hears that and assumes her father must be someone very important if heroes are
13:58after him. Curious, he asks who her father is. The girl nervously admits that she is actually the
14:04daughter of the demon king. Koji is surprised by her answer. He casually says that he has run into the
14:10demon king several times in the past. The girl is shocked to hear that. She wonders if that is the
14:16reason Koji refused the request to defeat the demon king. However, Koji says that is not the reason at
14:22all. He honestly believes killing the demon king would not solve anything or make the world a better
14:27place. Koji understands that the mana produced by demon horns is what creates monsters and those
14:33monsters naturally attack humans. Because of that, humans already have a reason to fear and hate demons.
14:39Even if the demons themselves do nothing wrong, the girl says she already knows all of that. Even so,
14:45her dream is to create a world where humans and demons can live together in peace. Koji bluntly
14:51tells her that her dream is impossible. As long as demons continue producing monsters, humans will
14:57never be willing to coexist with them. After hearing that, the girl asks why Koji does not want to kill
15:02demons like everyone else. Koji simply replies that he thinks the entire conflict is stupid. After saying
15:09that, he continues walking away. Meanwhile, Rex and the rest of his party are still frustrated that
15:15Koji showed up out of nowhere and completely ruined their plans. Krull suggests returning to Valmon so
15:21they can rethink their strategy. Rex, however, cannot stop thinking about Koji's final words. Before
15:27leaving, Koji told him that he understood nothing about how the world really works. Rex is unsure whether
15:33Koji was hiding some important truth. But one thing is clear to him, he needs to become much stronger.
15:39Meanwhile, Koji notices that the girl is still following him. He reminds her once again that he
15:44has no intention of marrying a child like her. The girl quickly says that is not why she is following
15:50him anymore. Instead, she asks if he could buy something for her. That finally gets Koji's attention.
15:56She explains that she is looking for a medicine called the Spirit's Blessing Potion because she
16:01heard it is sold in this town. She proudly says that she has already saved up 500 silver coins and
16:07only needs Koji's help to buy it. Koji immediately tells her that 500 silver is nowhere near enough.
16:14The Spirit's Blessing Potion actually costs 10 gold coins. After telling her that, he says she should
16:20just give up and head home. Just before Koji walks away again, the girl asks if he could lend
16:25her the rest of the money. She explains that she has to save her father. If the Demon King dies,
16:30she believes humans will immediately begin hunting down the remaining demons as well.
16:35Koji tells her that saving her father this one time will not change anything. Humans will simply
16:41continue hunting him down until they eventually succeed. Koji assumes she must hate humans because of
16:47that. Instead, the girl quietly says that she does not hate them. She believes hatred will never solve
16:52anything. She then says that she has made it her lifelong goal to create a future where humans and
16:58demons can truly live together in peace. Hearing those words changes Koji's mind. He decides to buy the
17:04potion for her after all. Before they leave, Koji walks over to her and wraps a special cloth around
17:10her horns. He explains that the cloth changes the mana coming from her horns, allowing it to hide them
17:16completely. With the cloth wrapped around them, her horns are concealed, making her look just like a
17:22normal human. The girl happily thanks him for helping her. Koji then asks for her name, she
17:27introduces herself as Alice, and after that, the two of them leave the forest together. They soon arrive
17:33in town, and Alice is amazed by everything she sees, since this is her first time visiting a human
17:38town. Every building and every street catches her attention. One of the shopkeepers quickly realizes
17:44it is her first visit. Smiling warmly, he gives her a free apple and tells her to come back again
17:50whenever she visits. As Koji and Alice continue walking through the busy streets, Alice asks how
17:55much the apple normally costs. Koji tells her it costs 150 bronze coins, hearing that makes Alice
18:02remember how the currency works. 10,000 bronze coins are equal to one silver coin, while 10,000 silver coins
18:09are worth a single gold coin. Koji also reminds her that the spirit's blessing potion is famous
18:15as an all-purpose medicine that can cure almost anything. After hearing the actual price, Alice
18:21realizes just how unrealistic her plan had been. She now understands that thinking she could buy such
18:27a valuable potion with only 500 silver coins was incredibly optimistic. As night falls, the two of them
18:33stop at an inn to rest for the evening. Alice lies down on the bed and is amazed by how
18:38soft and
18:39comfortable it feels. Since she has never stayed at an inn before, she cannot hide her excitement.
18:45Meanwhile, Koji packs his bag and gets ready to head back outside. Before leaving, he tells Alice to
18:51stay in the room because he is going to buy the spirit's blessing potion. He also explains that he plans
18:56to meet up with a friend since they will need one more person to continue the rest of their journey.
19:01Koji explains that they will probably run into adventurers who will try to attack Alice during
19:07the journey. Because of that, they need someone who can protect her while he focuses on fighting.
19:12After explaining the plan, he heads out and tells Alice to lock the door behind him and not let anyone
19:18else into the room. Meanwhile, high above the clouds, a frightening demon stands on top of a giant flying
19:24bird. With a crazed look in his eye, he quietly mutters that all humans should tremble in fear.
19:30A little while later, Alice hears someone knocking on the door. Thinking Koji has returned,
19:35she quickly opens it. Instead, she finds herself staring at a huge muscle head. The sight frightens
19:40her so much that she immediately freezes in fear. Just then, Koji steps out from behind the large figure
19:47and tells Alice that this is the friend he mentioned earlier. The three of them sit down together for some
19:53tea, and Koji introduces Alice to his friend, Takako. Takako explains that he is a level 124 monk,
20:00even though he probably does not look like what Alice expected a monk to be. He also says that Koji
20:06already told her everything about Alice's situation, and he promises to do everything
20:11she can to keep her safe. Takako admits that he once believed every demon deserved to be killed without
20:17exception. However, that way of thinking completely changed after he was badly injured in the forest
20:23one day. Instead of attacking him, a demon chose to save his life. After that day, Takako quit being
20:29an adventurer and decided to live a peaceful life instead. He now spends his time running a bar and
20:34a club in town. Wanting to get along with Alice, Takako suggests that the two of them go take a
20:40bath
20:40together. Alice immediately becomes nervous because she thinks it would be awkward to bathe with a man.
20:46Koji quickly clears up the misunderstanding by explaining that Takako is actually a woman.
20:51Alice is left completely speechless. She says Takako's chest is as firm as any man's would be,
20:57making it hard to believe she is female. Koji casually explains that Takako trained so hard that
21:03she burned away all of her breast fat and turned it into muscle. Takako clearly does not appreciate the
21:09way he described it. Without warning, she lands a powerful roundhouse kick on Koji,
21:14making it obvious that she does not enjoy talking about that subject. A little later,
21:19Alice and Takako walk toward the hot spring together. Along the way, Alice points out that
21:24Koji is level 999, yet Takako still managed to hurt him with her kick. Takako explains that monks
21:31naturally possess about three times the physical strength of an ordinary villager. Even so,
21:36she admits that she is nowhere near Koji's level and would never stand a chance against him in a real
21:42fight. Curious, Alice asks how Koji became so unbelievably strong. Takako guesses that Koji
21:48simply spent his childhood fighting countless monsters, which allowed him to keep growing stronger.
21:54Even after hearing that explanation, Alice still cannot understand how anyone could possibly reach level
22:00999. Seeing the worried look on Alice's face, Takako assumes she is afraid someone else might
22:07one day become just as powerful. Takako reassures her that nobody besides Koji could ever reach that
22:13level because he is missing something that every other living person possesses. Alice immediately asks
22:18what that mysterious thing is. Takako simply smiles and tells her that she will find out soon enough if
22:25she keeps traveling with them. Suddenly, loud crashing noises echo through the town. Everyone looks up
22:30and realizes that wild boars are literally falling from the sky. The demon from earlier is the one
22:36dropping them from his giant bird. He loudly announces that this is a declaration of war and proclaims that
22:43the demon king's army has officially begun its all-out assault against humanity. The bloody buffers
22:48immediately begin rampaging through the streets, attacking innocent civilians. Watching the chaos
22:54unfold, Alice sadly realizes that this only pushes humans and demons even farther away from ever
23:00living together peacefully. Koji wastes no time reacting. Instead of attacking with magic, he starts
23:06grabbing the wild boars one after another and throws them high into the sky. He figures he can collect
23:12their mana stones later and earn a nice reward from the adventurer's guild. The demon notices what is
23:18happening and stares in disbelief. He cannot understand who could possibly be strong enough to throw giant
23:24monsters through the air so effortlessly. A short time later, Rex and the rest of his party arrive at
23:30the scene. Rex immediately shows off his strength by firing a powerful lightning spell that destroys one
23:36of the giant birds before it can release another bloody buffer. As he prepares to fire another spell,
23:42his attack is suddenly blocked by one of the boars that Koji had thrown into the air.
23:46The moment Krull notices Koji, she becomes visibly annoyed. She immediately assumes he must have been
23:52working with the demon king all along. Koji calmly tells her that she is completely wrong. He then
23:58points out how terrible their strategy is. If they keep firing powerful attacks at enemies one by one,
24:04any missed attack could fall back down and accidentally kill innocent civilians. To make his point even
24:10clearer, Koji lightly taps Krull on the head while reminding her that the plan is terrible. Hearing that,
24:16Rex and the others suddenly realize something important. Koji has been throwing the boars with
24:21his own strength instead of attacking them with magic. That can only mean one thing, that Koji cannot
24:27use magic at all. Alice and Takako arrive shortly afterward, and Alice is shocked when she learns that
24:33someone as powerful as Koji does not possess any magic. Meanwhile, the demon continues shouting from the sky,
24:40declaring that resistance is meaningless because nobody can escape the demon king's army. Koji
24:45turns toward Alice and asks if she recognizes the demon leading the attack. Alice says she believes
24:51his name is Menno. He is one of the demon king's trusted dignitaries, and his family has served the
24:57demon king for generations. Krull then walks over to Koji and formally introduces herself. She explains that
25:04after seeing how powerful he is, she came up with a plan to display humanity's strength so the demons
25:10would know better than to challenge them. Koji immediately says that the idea is incredibly
25:15stupid. He explains that revealing all of their strongest fighters is the worst thing they could do.
25:21If the demon king is launching attacks across the entire world, then he is probably trying to
25:26identify the strongest places to invade first. Koji also says they need to learn exactly what the demon king
25:33is trying to accomplish before making any big decisions. Because of that, he decides that
25:38speaking directly with Menno is the best option. Without another word, Koji suddenly leaps high
25:44into the sky, completely shocking everyone watching below. Takako quickly jumps after him and uses her
25:50legs to kick him even higher, launching him the rest of the way through the air. A few moments later,
25:56Koji lands directly on top of the giant bird in front of Menno. Menno stares at him in complete disbelief
26:02and asks who he is. Koji calmly introduces himself as nothing more than a random villager who just
26:08happened to be passing by. Shocked, Menno wonders how he jumped high enough to land on his hellcrow.
26:14Koji explains that a certain human-faced gorilla threw him up, but his joke doesn't make the demon
26:19laugh. Angered, he attacks Koji with a spell. Unfortunately, the attack only affects Koji's shirt. Surprised to
26:26see him completely unharmed. Menno wonders if Koji is the hero. His surprise only increases after
26:32seeing his level 999 villager status. Menno adapts quickly, realizing that Koji might be the biggest
26:39threat from humanity's side. However, Koji reassures him that he doesn't want to kill the demon king.
26:45He explains that he's friends with Alice, but Menno refuses to trust him so soon. Koji then tells him
26:51that Princess Alice is actually resting in the very city he is attacking. Shocked, Menno wonders if Koji
26:57is a secret ally to the demons. Koji shakes his head, saying that he's a neutral party. Hearing this,
27:03Menno asks why he's still interfering in the battle. Koji asks him if the demon lord personally ordered
27:09this invasion, but Menno only laughs it off. However, Koji gets serious. He explains that Alice told the
27:15demon lord is sick. Hearing this, Menno is surprised, since he didn't know about the demon lord's
27:21condition. Seeing his reaction, Koji asks the demon if the demon lord truly gave him the order for an
27:27invasion. If so, he makes it clear that he will personally kill the demon lord. Menno begins to
27:32think, wondering why Koji is so sure that the demon lord didn't give him an order. Then,
27:38he realizes something. When Menno was in the demon lord's grand palace, the demon lord himself did not
27:43speak to him. Instead, it was his closest advisor who told him that the demon lord had ordered an
27:49invasion. At the time, Menno didn't suspect anything, so he carried out the orders. Still,
27:54he wonders why this makes any difference, since the demon lord did not object to his advisor's
27:59words. At this, Koji points out the possibility that the demon lord was somehow manipulated. Menno gets
28:05furious, thinking he is insulting his leader's authority. Koji raises a hand in surrender, so Menno
28:11decides to turn back and investigate the demon lord's condition on his own. Suddenly, Koji starts
28:17jumping around and killing all of the hellcrows. Explaining that he's just making some money,
28:22he continues destroying the entire demon fleet. On the ground, the hero's party watches with shock
28:28as Koji takes out each crow one by one. Nearby, some healers ask them for help, so everyone rushes
28:34to assist them with the wounded. In the sky, Menno asks Koji why he's preventing him from returning home.
28:40Koji reminds him that if the demon lord is being controlled, the true mastermind would also
28:46consider Menno a threat. In Koji's eyes, Menno should use the defeated hellcrows as an excuse
28:51to go missing in action and sneak back into the palace later. After saying this, he kills the final
28:57hellcrow, causing both of them to fall from the sky. As both of them hurtle to the ground, Menno
29:02screams in horror. Koji thinks they'll probably survive, but his confidence is less than reassuring.
29:08Later, Menno wakes up on the ground with Koji looking right at him. Since demons have strong bodies,
29:14it's not surprising that Menno survived. However, he finds it hard to believe that Koji shrugged off
29:20that massive fall while being a human. Koji doesn't care about his surprise. Instead, he continues to
29:25gather all the coins that fell from the defeated hellcrows. Finally realizing that he's not an enemy,
29:31Menno introduces himself to him. After explaining that he has served the demon lord for three years,
29:37he wonders why Koji isn't trying to kill him. Koji explains that since Menno is close to his friend,
29:43Alice, he would never hurt him. Surprised, Menno wonders why he's so caring towards a demon. Koji
29:49thinks he's asking a dumb question. He points out that although demons create mana, they don't
29:54directly threaten humans with their existence. Instead, it is the monsters created by the mana
29:59that cause both humans and demons to fight each other. In Koji's eyes, people should focus on keeping
30:05the monsters at bay instead of being at each other's throats. He then tells Menno that he'll
30:10return to him the next day with Alice to visit the demon lord's palace. Menno is stunned, since Koji's
30:16actions would basically make him a traitor to the humans and an enemy of the demon mastermind. Koji
30:22smiles, saying that he's simply fulfilling a promise he made to Alice. Once he leaves, Menno smiles,
30:28thinking that his princess has made a strange friend. The next day, Alice thanks Koji for sparing Menno's
30:34life. He explains that the demon commander was actually pretty reasonable, so it was no big
30:39deal to spare him. Then, he wonders what Takako is doing. Alice explains that she went out to buy
30:44groceries for their trip to the demon palace. Koji thinks that he should arrange the transportation
30:50before Takako returns. Alice reminds him that it was only supposed to take six days to reach the palace.
30:56However, Koji explains that six days is only possible on the back of a flying crow. Since they have more
31:02people now, they'll need to make the trip on the ground. However, ground travel will also be
31:07difficult, since they cannot take horses. Alice wonders why horses are forbidden, so Koji explains
31:13that they are afraid of demon mana. Although the young Alice can retain her mana with his cloth,
31:18Menno's presence will make it impossible for the horses to stay calm. In the end, Koji reluctantly admits
31:24that there is still a ground transport they can take. Alice gets excited, so he shows her the
31:29transportation method in person. It's actually a centaur carriage, led by arrogant centaurs who
31:35consider themselves superior to humans. Despite their tough attitude, the centaurs are literal
31:40perverts who would do anything to get whipped. Watching their strange reactions, even Koji feels
31:46uncomfortable, so he refuses to use them as transport. This time, Alice also remains back and lets the
31:52centaurs leave. Once Takako returns, they all go to Menno's location in the forest. He apologizes to
31:59Alice for attacking the town she was resting in, but she forgives him since it was done
32:03unintentionally. Then, he also thanks Koji for sparing his life and bringing his princess back
32:09safe and sound. Suddenly, Takako jumps in to admire Menno's handsome looks. The poor guy gets terrified
32:15of her, so Alice gets offended. She tells Menno that Takako is a good person looking after her,
32:21so he calms down. Suddenly, the hero's party pops out from the bushes around them. Now that they've
32:26confirmed that Koji is with the demons, they think he is on the enemy's side. Without giving him a
32:32chance to explain, they accuse him of leading the demon attack on the town. Facing their accusations,
32:37Koji remains completely calm. Krull claims that she won't let him escape his punishment,
32:43so he suddenly appears in front of her. Before she can react, he bumps her head,
32:47pointing out that she doesn't even have the power to threaten him. Rex gets angry and tries to attack him,
32:53but Koji dodges his slow slashes. He tells the dumb hero to quit flailing around, but Rex remains
32:59stubborn. He claims that his job is to destroy the demons, who are a bunch of evil creatures in his
33:05eyes. Parna also points out that a lot of people were hurt by Menno's attack. Hearing this, Koji
33:10actually admits his wrong. He tells Menno to apologize to everyone, but Menno gets angry. He reminds the
33:16humans that the demons have been suffering way worse due to their actions, but Rex refuses to listen to him.
33:22He claims that demons and anyone who supports them are objectively evil, which causes Koji to get
33:28angry. He reminds Rex that before he knew about Alice's identity, he didn't attack her at all.
33:34At the time, he obviously didn't consider the harmless girl a threat to humanity. Now, Koji
33:39reveals that she is not only a demon, but also the Demon King's daughter. He asks whether that same
33:45girl has suddenly become an evil monster in their eyes. The revelation leaves everyone shocked. Koji
33:50admits that the mana released by the demon lord creates monsters, so he won't stop the hero from
33:56attacking him. However, he just wants the humans to admit that the demons can't control their mana,
34:01so they don't deserve to be hunted down. After declaring this, he breaks Rex's sword. As the
34:07hero backs away, Tina asks Koji if Menno at least deserves to be punished for the attack. Hearing this,
34:13Koji forces the stubborn demon to bow down and apologize. Still, Tina thinks they should arrest Menno for
34:19leading the attack. At this, Koji asks the humans for some time, explaining that he needs Menno's
34:25help to investigate the demon lord's condition. He explains that the demon attack might not have
34:30been ordered by the demon lord, which shocks the hero's party. Koji tells them that the demon lord
34:35is sick, and he has always wanted peace with humans. Rex thinks he's lying, since there's no way a human
34:41would know the demon lord's intentions. However, Koji reveals that he has personally met the demon lord,
34:47so he knows what he's like. In addition, he asks the humans if the demons have ever led an invasion
34:53like this before. Hearing this, all of the hero party members admit that they've never been attacked
34:59by the demons in their cities before. Koji tells them to set their prejudice aside and give his words
35:05a real thought. But Parna gets angry. She blasts a fireball at him, saying that he might have been
35:10brainwashed by the demons. Seeing that the humans won't believe him no matter what, Koji decides it's time
35:16to stop negotiating. Suddenly, he signals to Takako and runs away, leaving the humans outraged.
35:22Although they try to chase Koji's group, Tina stumbles and falls, so they are forced to remain
35:28behind for her. While escaping, Koji complains to Alice that coexisting with humans is not peaceful
35:34at all. She points out that the hero's party actually listened to him this time, so it was still
35:39a win for them. Unfortunately, once they get to safety, Menno brings them a certain transport
35:44vehicle. It's the same centaurs from before, who somehow agreed to serve Menno. Unfortunately,
35:50as Takako drives the centaurs, everyone on the carriage ends up traumatized for life.
35:55Meanwhile, the hero's party wonders what to do next. Rex feels unsettled by Koji's words,
36:01while Parna tells everyone to get ready for a trip to the demon lord's castle.
36:05Seeing her casual attitude, Rex wonders if Koji's words didn't affect her at all. Hearing this,
36:11images of her childhood sweetheart flash through Parna's mind. Her innocent lover was brutally
36:16snatched away from her by a demon attack, so she would never forgive them. Later that night,
36:21Koji's group sets up camp to rest. Takako reviews their route, noting that they need to stop at the
36:27city of Salmeria to rest before making the rest of the trip. However, since Menno cannot disguise his
36:33mana, Koji warns him to stay hidden once they arrive at the human city. Then, Koji realizes something.
36:39Since Valmon was attacked on the orders the demon mastermind, he wonders if Salmeria is also a
36:45target. Hearing this, Menno explains that the previous attacks were just to declare war on
36:50the humans. In reality, the demons are brewing a massive army to begin the real invasion. Knowing
36:55this, both Koji and Takako realize that the fortress town of Salmeria might be the demon's next target
37:02since it's closer to the demon lord's palace. The next day, they arrive at Salmeria's gate.
37:07To disguise the demons on their carriage, Koji decides to act like he's a magic materials
37:12merchant. However, the gate guard becomes suspicious after sensing demonic mana coming
37:17from the carriage. Just then, Alice pops out and shows him a blue devil horn. Koji claims that he's
37:23got a lot of horns with him, which are the source of the mana. He claims that he's only here
37:28for
37:28sightseeing with his sister, so the guard smiles. The guard thinks he must be here for the parade,
37:33which surprises Koji. He learns from the guard that the demons have been attacking Salmeria,
37:38so the Salmerian forces are throwing a parade before they lead a force to fight back against
37:43them. Soon, they enter the city, where they catch the parade live. Koji doesn't feel the festive mood,
37:49since he thinks the humans are being careless. If the demons attack them in this moment,
37:54they would be caught off guard. If Salmeria were truly besieged, Koji thinks there would be no way
37:59to talk either the humans or the demons out of the war. To prevent this, he decides that they'll
38:04reach the demon lord's palace and stop the demons before they get a chance to attack. Takako thinks
38:10he's being too reckless. She also wonders what he would do if the demon lord were truly behind
38:15all these attacks. Koji confidently claims that he'll fight the demon lord if this is the case.
38:21However, he would only fight as a person on the side of the peacemakers. Hearing this, Alice smiles.
38:26Although she loves her father, she wants the world to be at peace. So she also declares that
38:31she'll be on Koji's side if the demon lord turns out to be an invader. Inside the carriage, Menno
38:37faces a tough decision since he serves both the demon lord and Alice. In the end, he decides to
38:43take Alice's side for the sake of peace. Later that night, Koji notes that Salmeria's west gate is
38:49closed as a precaution against the demons. Still, he thinks they'll have to sneak out of that gate
38:54the next day to move towards the demon palace. He buys some ice cream for Alice, who finds it
38:59delicious. Then, he realizes that they skipped dinner before dessert. So he takes her to a
39:04restaurant. Inside, he somehow finds the hero's party having dinner. Shocked, Koji escapes while
39:10the heroes chase after him. After hiding in an alley, he notes a parade demonstration nearby. Alice wonders
39:16what it is. So Koji explains that the humans are killing a weak monster to show off their strength to
39:22the common people. Out of nowhere, a massive demon jumps out and stomps the weak demonstration monster.
39:28Panicking, the humans quickly escape since the demon wasn't part of the show. However,
39:33an entire army of hellbeasts jump into the city and Koji gets a headache, realizing that the attack
39:39has begun early. That was episode 3. Subscribe to not miss the next part and watch the next video on
