Kill them!
If you hate them, kill them!
Kill them! Kill them!
The Status Ailment "Berserk," huh?
This is from Moon magic, not a Skill.
Jupiter's of the Wood Element, so it can't be him.
Meaning...
Aries!
Lady Lufas!
What's happening?
They're all inflicted with Berserk.
It seems that in addition to this devilfolk called Jupiter,
there's someone else who wants the people of this country to crush each other.
We will search for the devilfolk now.
What will you do?
Lady Lufas...
If...
This is just a what if, okay?
If it happened to be
one of the Twelve Heavenly Stars who started the riot...
what would you do, Lady Lufas?
Assuming they were acting out of loyalty to you, Lady Lufas?
Our response is obvious:
we would stop them, with our fists if necessary.
Then we would commend their efforts.
We're pleased to have their loyalty,
but we do not wish for this nation's destruction.
Thank you, Lady Lufas!
Now it's clear what I must do!
It'll be okay!
Please leave it to me!
Ah! Wait, Aries!
Is this seriously the work of a Twelve Heavenly Star?
The only one who could inflict Berserk would be...
Aigokeros the Goat!
Aries can't handle him alone.
Don't do anything stupid!

That will be my show of loyalty to my master!
Now I shall avenge her!
Kill them! Kill them! Kill them!
That Aigokeros really pulled it off!
Once both sides crush each other, this country is finished!
Ten minutes, huh?
Alright, my role here is fulfilled.
Time to retreat before that junk heap comes back.
Whom are you running from?
Huh?!
H-How?!
You were supposed to be gone for twenty minutes!
Jupiter.
In our last battle, I analyzed your Element and your habits in combat.
I-Impossible!
If we engage in combat, then your chances of victory fall beneath 0.02%.
Dammit! That bitch Venus screwed up!
It is my recommendation that you surrender.
You damn bitch!
You have performed that maneuver before.
Target's reaction time has decreased by 20% due to pain.
Continuing assault.
These are homing bullets prepared by Master.
You cannot escape them.
Shit!
That was predicted as well.
Just a graze did that much damage?
She's reading all of my moves.
In that case...
Shut out all sound around me...
Keep her from hearing my breathing...
Silencing the space around you with Wind magic is pointless.
Aigokeros!
Aries. You've come to stop me?
You're the one making the people in the city berserk, right?!
Stop it right now!
Do you believe you can beat me, little ram?
I'm not the same as I was two hundred years ago, goat.
Aries.
Just as you seek to fulfill your loyalty to our master by stopping me,
I shall fulfill my loyalty as well!
Luna Shooter!
Mesarthim!
Luna Blast!
Lunatic Rain!
I know I'm at a disadvantage against Aigokeros,
but I can't afford to back down!
Mesarthim!
I will stop you!
I did it!
A fake?!
You're mine, Aries!
Deneb Algedi!
Die!
You fool!
Why would you kill an ally?!
You're...
You are...!
It's been a long time, Aigokeros.
I'm glad to see you're in good health too.
Huh?!
Umm...
Well, it seems we caused you an awful lot of worry.
This guy really was worried about Lufas.
I thought about giving him a punch when I saw him,
but now I don't want to.
Aigokeros.
Thank you for your great loyalty.
We understand you have acted in our interest,
but we have no intention of harming Merak or this nation.
Would you please free the people from your Berserk?
Good.
Then I'm willing to overlook this incident.
From now on, you shall aid us, not the devilfolk, Aigokeros.
Yes!
If that is what you wish of me!

Aigokeros Has Joined Your Party
Now I've freed all the people from Berserk.
He slid into my shadow?
Because he's a demonic monster?
You wouldn't stop when I asked you.
Well, that should prevent the civil war.
No, Lady Lufas.
Hmm?
My spell only amplifies existing emotions.
In short, I simply gave them a little push.
So undoing my spell won't stop them now.
This is worse than I thought!
It's all right, Mistress Lufas!
We can still stop the civil war before it starts!
Dina! You're back?
Hmm?!
Where's Libra?
Lady Libra detected Jupiter and flew off toward him.
I see.
Please let me handle persuading the people!
I'll show you that I can settle this uproar peacefully!
Lady Lufas, is that woman...
Ah, here it comes again...
...the advisor who constantly merged with the background thanks to her splendid stealth?
Huh?!
What... the heck?!
Yay!
Alovenus,
I'm praying to you this once!
Please let me escape from her somehow!
Huh?
Warning.
Kill them!
Give them no quarter!
That was predicted as well.
It is my recommendation that you surrender.
Warning. Warning.
Warning. Warning. Warning. Warning. Warning.
I had anticipated your arrival.
You arrived five seconds earlier than predicted.
Recalculating target's speed.
Correcting error.
It is my recommendation that you stop resisting and surrender.
There are no potential collateral targets in the area.
Therefore, I can deploy Brachium.
Huh?!
If you do not comply with my warning within ten seconds,
I shall proceed to deploy Brachium.
Commencing countdown.
Ten, nine...
Hey, wait!
Eight, seven...
Please!
Six, five...
I-I'm sorry!
I was wrong!
Four, three...
Two, one...
A-Alright! I surrender!
I surrender!
Just please stop!
Confirmed target has lost the will to fight.
Ceasing deployment of Brachium.
Master's orders to capture the devilfolk's Seven Luminary, Jupiter,
have now been fulfilled.
We'll kill you!
They're on the brink of erupting.
Stop this, my people!
Hating and fighting each other like this is exactly what the devilfolk want!
Can we not come together in understanding?!
All of you, listen!
That's Merak, one of the Seven Heroes.
Merak.
What good can come from fighting amongst ourselves?
You've finally shown up?
He's grown a bit older, but he definitely looks like the Merak I remember.
He's missing a wing?!
Observing Eye.

One of his wings was taken from him?!
It's the same as Megrez's leg.
The Devil King cursed him with the Mark of the Vanquished,
and took away part of his body.
What a cruel punishment.
He was a hero to the heaven-winged,
and now he can never fly again.
Both sides here need to calm down!
Oh boy, his words aren't doing anything.
No, just having their hero stand before them is having an effect.
Otherwise the civil war would have started already.
Now then, what should I do?
That is enough!
She made it in time.
What's this?!
It's a golem!
She's captured one of the devilfolk!
You...
You can't be...
No, I'm just a passing golem, Bluzefsky the 17th.
Umm, I thought she was Copernicus the 4th?
One could call me that as well.
Now, do as you please with this man!
Huh?
They won't understand with just that!
Dina.
Yes!
Everyone!
First, please settle down and listen to me calmly!
To get straight to the point,
the man on the ground before you is Jupiter.
He is one of the Seven Luminaries who serve the Devil King.
I'm sure there are several members of
the white-winged faction who recognize his face, yes?
Isn't that Jupiter?!
Y-You're right!
What's going on?!
Were you colluding with the devilfolk?!
I know you all hate each other and want to destroy each other right now.
But please think for a moment!
Who actually stands to benefit the most from you all doing that?!
Yes! This devilfolk stands to gain the most from it!
Now calm yourselves once more,
and please think carefully about who is truly the enemy you ought to hate.
That was a pretty convincing argument.
Since they're already agitated,
maybe giving them the answer will get through to them.
Y-You!
Kill that devilfolk!
That's right, kill him!
Kill him!
Settle down, my people!
Why you! So this was your ploy!
No wonder Libra came back so early!
You were always planning
to take me down!
Dina!
I believe I warned you that unauthorized action would result in your disposal.
Hold on!
I will not hear any of it.
You have already warranted cause for elimination.
No!
All of you...
that woman is—
Okay, everyone!
That settles this affair!
They're all in shock!
Libra was merciless!
Still, what was that devilfolk trying to say at the end?
Thank you for defeating that devilfolk and calming the people.
I'm sorry to ask this of you,
but please accompany me to the castle.
I refuse.
Only my master has the authority to order me.
Are you her master?
Then I'd like to speak with you.
Understood.
Now then.
That's enough, isn't it?
Would you remove your disguise and show me your face?
As you wish.
It really is you, Lufas.
How nostalgic.
So you survived?
Yes. This is nostalgic, Merak.
He's not a player.
Just like Megrez.
He's a resident of this world who's lived here from the start.
You've changed so much.
You've grown weaker in the short time I was away.
Is that how it looks?
You're wrong.
You're wrong, Lufas.
I was always weak.
I was never fit to be a king.
You were there back then.
You stood before everyone.
All I did was walk behind you all.
Mistress Lufas.
Is this man okay?
He looks like he's about to die from a stomach ulcer.
Indeed. We didn't expect him to be this fainthearted.
Megrez was fairly worn down as well,
but this guy's facing a whole different issue.
Oh no...
All of these Seven Heroes are going to be huge piles of trouble.
I never should have become king.
You should have continued to rule as our king.
We never...
should have won back then.
You fool!
We've been listening to you say your piece, and yet...!
I'm not the Lufas this man knows.
Though if the Lufas of this world
also said what I wrote down as her final words,
then I'm sure she doesn't regret her defeat.
Yet having the victors say that would make her roll over in her grave,
and I can't stand hearing it either!
You would dare
to say your victory over me was an error?!
Have some pride!
Stand up straight!
You are one of the men who defeated Lufas Maphaahl!
We will not tolerate shameful behavior.
I'm...
no match for you.
You haven't changed.
You're still the same woman brimming with confidence that you were all those years ago.
We have changed a little though.
This is your nation.
We shall not aid you any further, and we won't offer advice.
Figure it out for yourself from now on, Sky King.
You managed to defeat us.
So prove you can handle such a small matter.
Lufas.
Is something wrong, Master?
Well, it's not like us to give a lecture.
It was shameful.
That is not true.
It is a shame I am unable to preserve the footage of you in physical form.
That would be incredibly embarrassing!
Libra.
If you made a record of it, then delete it at once.
I doubt I have to worry,
but you didn't take any photos, did you?
Umm...
Hmm?
What is a "photo"?
"Photo"? Is that some spell?
Do you know, Aigo?
I know nothing of the sort.
I guess photos just don't exist in this world?
Well, it is a fantasy world.
Uh, wait?
Something feels off.
I'm forgetting something.
That's right!
The day I first arrived in this world!
This world has no photos, so there shouldn't be any who remember what we look like.
Naive! That's naive!
Long-lived races like the elves still have fresh memories of you, Mistress Lufas!
Photos aren't supposed to exist in this world.
Yet she knows what they are.
We'd like to talk to you alone.
Could you come with us,
Dina?
My king!
We were working with the good of this nation in mind!
It's true that we were deceived by that devilfolk, but—
You two.
Who gave you permission to speak?
I've been benevolent in my approach to you all,
but it seems that was the wrong choice.
Do not believe I will remain so generous forever.
Take them away.
This is for the best, right, Lufas?
Reporting in.
Svel has been freed from the threat of the Seven Luminaries,
and one of the Twelve Heavenly Stars, Aries, has gone missing.
Damn Megrez.
How thoughtless of him to not inform me.
This can only mean that "she" is actually here.
Lufas Maphaahl.
This time, we'll settle our score.
I, the vampiress Benetnasch,
will kill you!
