The Misfit of Demon King Academy

How long do you intend to pray?

Surely you do not intend to fight while seated.

I am the Pope of Giordal.

I will never stop praying until salvation is brought upon the underground.

You may do as you wish.

Whatever force you bring upon me, these hands will not break their prayer.

Interesting.

Then I will do as I see fit.

Zoray Dipt.

Know the fear of God.

It is impossible for any to bind God.

Gospel be heard.

Azept Doldired.

Golroana's Selection God, Doldired.

He is the god of sound and is made of sound.

That is rare. A vocal magic circle.

The Book of Gospel, First Movement: Egred.

They are the previous popes, returned from the Land of the Dead.

Then I ask you, does this kingdom seek peace with Dilhade or not?

All that move the dead are their dearest wishes in their dying hours.

The snow falls, lighting the ground.

The Book of Gospel, Second Movement: Zabioz.

They seem to be quite devout popes,

but did they truly sacrifice all they had to God?

It is unnecessary to question the obvious.

A pope cares only for the kingdom. One does not have personal desires.

Then do we make a wager? What we seek most.

Your words will not lead me into...

I will only fight with what is praised in my hymns.

Swear to God.

Then I swear on Arcana.

Gordros.

It seems sound should be fought with sound.

The man asked, how can you continue praying for so long?

The Savior answered.

I have faith in God. Prayer and I are one.

Music is something that should be sung together.

I agree with that.

Can you hear me, Holy Demon King Choir?

King Anos?!

Y-Yes! We hear you!

Let us see how effective love is against God.

Sing. Give me your love.

Yes King Anos!

Gard Asc.

The Book of Gospel, Third Movement: Ranles.

Hymn of the Demon King Number Six: Neighbor.

All bow before God.

O God, I never knew There was a world like this

Wh-What is wrong? Why have you stopped?

Is this song so great as to stop my predecessors?

Your songs were not particularly bad.

But prayer by itself is lacking.

This song has choreography.

Don't open it

Don't open it That's the forbidden door

Teach me God

What's this?

What's that?

-Qu Ick! Qu Ick! -First you knock, gently knock

Wait, no, no!

One who has already perished cannot perish again!

They do not revive? Why?

You do not understand?

Qu Ick. Qu Ick.

Qu Ick. Ooh, ooh.

Huh?

"I can't understand it, but it's fun, so whatever."

This song has opened their forbidden doors and awakened their true desires.

-What? -They have ascended.

Ascended?

Everyone has a heart.

Forgetting fun and becoming an existence for prayer alone,

you call that a life?

No, you cannot...

Prepare yourself.

I will insert the taboo key into your heart.

Don't put it in

Don't put it in That's the taboo key

Teach me, Demon King

What's this?

What's that?

First start with a gentle touch

Don't touch me!

Gospel or not, did you think that a song without choreography could influence me?

You said you would not cease praying for one moment.

Those were not empty words.

As you said,

it seems that my predecessors did not sacrifice all they had to God.

Now, Golroana.

It is said that the God of Records lies in the underground ruins of Legalondrol.

Under the midnight sun,

where the Divine Dragon's song echoes in round,

that is where the entrance lies.

I see. Then one more question.

If you seek my god's order as an offering to your Selection God,

then take my life first.

Offering?

I do not need such trifles.

Why?

My goal is to end the Judgment Selection.

Naturally, I have no interest in your life either.

If you were a tyrant, then things would be different,

but you rule this kingdom in peace.

The kingdom will fall into disarray if you were to die.

That is of no concern to a kingdom above ground.

I cannot call it no concern

when the happiness of the people of Giordal is at stake.

Are those the words of one who would destroy my God?

There is no point in simply stating ideals.

It is only when you understand

that you stand no chance against me even in a handstand

that a dialogue may be had.

The embodiment of pride.

It seems that you finally understand something.

I am proud.

Destroying an enemy kingdom is not enough for me.

I want peace. True peace.

What are your demands?

A concession. I will allow you to keep your faith.

In exchange, you will not harm Dilhade in any way.

Let us join hands and form a pledge between kingdoms.

Perhaps you will not understand

as one who lives on the prosperous surface,

but our hands were created solely to offer prayers.

Our faith was all that saved us in the harsh underground.

There are things that cannot be saved by prayer alone.

The time will surely come when you will need to extend those hands to grasp them.

I will not press for an answer.

You may challenge me until you have no recourse.

Can I ask a question?

You want peace, but you allowed Golroana to live.

I made a promise long ago in the past.

I must prove to someone

that this world is warm and full of love and hope.

I was all alone.

But for the first time, I have seen the same things as another,

held the same goal, and tried to accomplish it.

Shoulders side to side.

If I were to put a name to this emotion, what should I call it?

What do you think?

I think...

I think that it's happiness.

I was saved through meeting you.

It was too simple to be salvation.

Seek it more strongly, wish for it.

Your own salvation.

More strongly...

Do I want to see more of that dream?

The me in that dream had her brother by her side.

For me in the present, that is greater salvation than anything.

Do you want a brother?

Is it too much for me to ask for?

Nonsense.

It is so modest a wish that I could cry.

I want to know... about me... about you...

If I'm your sister, then there's something that I want to say to you.
