1. So they're here.
Copy !req
2. Yes.
Copy !req
3. The humans who were captured by the
demon king as slaves and their children.
Copy !req
4. The demon king is known to be
ruthlessly coldhearted and cruel.
Copy !req
5. Who knows what kind of horrible
torture they're suffering?
Copy !req
6. I see.
Copy !req
7. All the more reason
we must help them.
Copy !req
8. Leave it all to me, Merryna!
Copy !req
9. Hey!
Copy !req
10. Oh, Doux!
Copy !req
11. Let's play, everyone!
Copy !req
12. We've been waiting for you!
Copy !req
13. What should we play today?
Copy !req
14. Hm, let's see...
Copy !req
15. Let's play at the park
the grownups made for us!
Copy !req
16. Okay, it's settled!
Copy !req
17. SANTA IS HANDING OUT TOO MANY PRESENTS!
Copy !req
18. "Santa Is Handing Out Too Many Presents!"
Copy !req
19. "LET'S PLAY, LA, LA, LA"
KANATA NAKAMURA
TAKERU TAKEMIYA
DOUX
Copy !req
20. Experts at playing, gather around
Copy !req
21. Gather all your hands to me
Copy !req
22. Where are we? This is everyone's park
Copy !req
23. Whoosh, whoosh, we
become the wind on this slide
Copy !req
24. Swing, swing, we're flying through
the air on these swings
Copy !req
25. La, la, la-la-la
Copy !req
26. La, la, la, la, la
Copy !req
27. It's so fun if we all play together
Copy !req
28. La, la, la-la-la
Copy !req
29. La, la, la, la, la
Copy !req
30. Let's all play again tomorrow
Copy !req
31. Santa Claus?
Copy !req
32. Yeah. Santa shows up on Christmas
night after we all fall asleep.
Copy !req
33. They leave all the good kids
Copy !req
34. something they wanted as
a gift at their pillows.
Copy !req
35. Wow! That's amazing! So when's Christmas?
Copy !req
36. It's actually today.
Copy !req
37. So Santa Claus is coming?
Copy !req
38. Are they not?
Copy !req
39. You have to write down your name and
what you want on paper so Santa knows
Copy !req
40. or they won't come.
Copy !req
41. But...
Copy !req
42. we don't have any paper here
or anything to write with.
Copy !req
43. Okay! Leave it to Doux!
Copy !req
44. So...
Copy !req
45. That's why you came to
get a pen and some paper.
Copy !req
46. Yup! Sure did!
Copy !req
47. What do you think about
this, Your Majesty?
Copy !req
48. Let her be, Jahi.
Copy !req
49. There's no harm in giving
the slaves pen and paper.
Copy !req
50. How naïve.
Copy !req
51. You mustn't underestimate what
pen and paper can be used for.
Copy !req
52. As you can see, it can
be used as a weapon.
Copy !req
53. I see.
Copy !req
54. DOUX
Copy !req
55. Here, use this instead.
They're much softer.
Copy !req
56. Okay!
Copy !req
57. Your Majesty!
Copy !req
58. What do you want me to do?
Copy !req
59. Santa Claus! Santa Claus!
Copy !req
60. Just look at how much she's
looking forward to this.
Copy !req
61. How am I supposed to tell her no now?
Copy !req
62. Well, don't worry so much.
Copy !req
63. I've heard of this Santa character.
Copy !req
64. According to the legends...
Copy !req
65. They apparently have the power
to materialize any wish.
Copy !req
66. But...
Copy !req
67. There's no way such a great being exists.
Copy !req
68. If they did, we demons would've
been destroyed ages ago.
Copy !req
69. You are correct.
Copy !req
70. Right?
Copy !req
71. If such a great being actually exists,
Copy !req
72. then they will prove to
be a great asset to us.
Copy !req
73. Why, yes... hm?
Copy !req
74. Lady Doux!
Copy !req
75. We shall capture this Santa Claus and
make them His Majesty's subordinate!
Copy !req
76. Huh?
Copy !req
77. This is the Capture Santa Trial!
Copy !req
78. Okay!
Copy !req
79. Hm?
Copy !req
80. Now, please allow me to explain this plan.
Copy !req
81. Okay, Teacher!
Copy !req
82. According to our intel,
Copy !req
83. Santa comes by at night
after everyone is asleep.
Copy !req
84. Yup, yup!
Copy !req
85. First, let us head to the
mines and hide in the shadows.
Copy !req
86. And once everyone is asleep, we
shall use transparency magic,
Copy !req
87. completely conceal ourselves,
and await Santa.
Copy !req
88. Santa will arrive, being none the wiser,
Copy !req
89. and then His Majesty will entrap them in
a binding barrier so they cannot escape.
Copy !req
90. Wait, I'm participating in this, too?
Copy !req
91. Then Lady Doux will immobilize
them with her ice magic
Copy !req
92. and our mission will be complete!
Copy !req
93. Complete!
Copy !req
94. What do you think of
this plan, Your Majesty?
Copy !req
95. Er, what do I think?
Copy !req
96. So excited! So excited!
Copy !req
97. So excited! So excited!
Copy !req
98. It's a brilliant plan!
Copy !req
99. Yay!
Copy !req
100. Thank you very much, Your Majesty!
Copy !req
101. Lady Doux, let us have those human
children write letters immediately
Copy !req
102. to lure Santa in!
Copy !req
103. Yeah!
Copy !req
104. I'm certain Santa doesn't exist,
Copy !req
105. but this is so endearing that
I'll just watch over them.
Copy !req
106. Thanks, Doux.
Copy !req
107. Do you think Santa Claus will come?
Copy !req
108. Yeah, they will!
Copy !req
109. I'm gonna ask for cake!
Copy !req
110. I'm gonna ask for toys!
Copy !req
111. So many wishes!
Copy !req
112. What are you going to ask for, Doux?
Copy !req
113. Hm...
Copy !req
114. I know!
Copy !req
115. Hup!
Copy !req
116. The prank was a huge success...
Copy !req
117. Where are the children?
Copy !req
118. How could you get lost in
the demon king's castle?
Copy !req
119. Well, you said to go this way, Tontt.
Copy !req
120. Let's hurry up and find them.
Copy !req
121. We'll be in trouble if the demons wake up.
Copy !req
122. We'll be fine. Those who hear Santa's
bell won't wake up for a while.
Copy !req
123. You say that but your non-existent
boobs are shaking.
Copy !req
124. How about I feed you
to one of these demons?
Copy !req
125. Caught you, Santa Claus!
Copy !req
126. Whoa!
Copy !req
127. Boo!
Copy !req
128. A-A child?
Copy !req
129. Everyone else fell asleep,
so I came all by myself.
Copy !req
130. Wh-What? Who is this?
Copy !req
131. I'm Doux! Doux the demon!
Copy !req
132. A-A demon?
Copy !req
133. Take this!
Copy !req
134. I thought any creature other than
Copy !req
135. Santa was supposed to sleep
when they heard this sound!
Copy !req
136. Why are you awake?
Copy !req
137. Doux stayed up late!
Copy !req
138. Aw, what a naughty little girl.
Copy !req
139. Doux is a bad girl!
Copy !req
140. Santa's been won over by a demon?
Copy !req
141. Are you really Santa Claus, miss?
Copy !req
142. Yes, I really am Santa Claus.
Copy !req
143. And this is Tontt the gnome.
Copy !req
144. Tontt?
Copy !req
145. I know, Doux.
Copy !req
146. We have to hand out some presents.
Copy !req
147. Do you know where the children are?
Copy !req
148. Huh? Wait...
Copy !req
149. I do! Doux wants to hand them out, too!
Copy !req
150. Huh?
Copy !req
151. There's something very wrong with this.
Copy !req
152. Can you take this one, too?
Copy !req
153. Yup!
Copy !req
154. You're having a demon help
you hand out presents!
Copy !req
155. Shh.
Copy !req
156. Doux is a good girl.
Copy !req
157. She's a demon!
Copy !req
158. She might just be getting your
guard down so she can strike.
Copy !req
159. Well, you were originally
a demon, too, Tontt.
Copy !req
160. That's true, but...
Copy !req
161. Tontt's a demon?
Copy !req
162. Yes. Tontt is the name of my many helpers.
Copy !req
163. There's a lot of them?
Copy !req
164. Yes. The Tontts were
demons who created toys
Copy !req
165. and caused mischief for
humans in their attics.
Copy !req
166. But...
Copy !req
167. On a very cold night long ago,
Copy !req
168. a Tontt was trying to steal some
food and was found by a child.
Copy !req
169. They escaped into the attic
Copy !req
170. but became unable to move
from starvation and the cold.
Copy !req
171. That's when it happened.
Copy !req
172. The child who found the Tontt brought
them some warm milk and cookies.
Copy !req
173. Then they snuggled up
in a blanket together.
Copy !req
174. It was a cold night, but they
were able to sleep nice and warm.
Copy !req
175. That Tontt had a change of heart and
wondered if they could do something
Copy !req
176. for that good child and
other good children.
Copy !req
177. And then... they became Santa Claus!
Copy !req
178. They got big!
Copy !req
179. Which means when Tontts grow up...
Copy !req
180. They turn out like this!
Copy !req
181. Wow!
Copy !req
182. Once they become Santa,
they can create anything.
Copy !req
183. Wow! That's amazing!
Copy !req
184. Then there's a lot of Santa Clauses?
Copy !req
185. Yes.
Copy !req
186. Then...
Copy !req
187. Are there Santas that look like this?
Copy !req
188. Oh, what a lovely drawing.
Copy !req
189. This one looks just like my older brother.
Copy !req
190. He'll get mad at you for saying that.
Copy !req
191. Did you draw all of this, Doux?
Copy !req
192. Nope. Doux drew this one.
Copy !req
193. Den drew this one, and Sana drew this one.
Copy !req
194. Doux, you're a demon. Why are
you doing that with humans?
Copy !req
195. Because we're friends!
Copy !req
196. Friends?
Copy !req
197. Yup!
Copy !req
198. I see.
Copy !req
199. And...
Copy !req
200. Wh-What is it?
Copy !req
201. Merryna and Tontt are also my friends!
Copy !req
202. Really? That makes Santa so happy!
Copy !req
203. Then if you meet another Santa or Tontt,
Copy !req
204. be friends with them, too, okay?
Copy !req
205. Yeah!
Copy !req
206. Okay, just three more
presents to hand out.
Copy !req
207. To finish things off, let's see who can
deliver theirs the fastest!
Copy !req
208. Huh?
Copy !req
209. Ready...
Copy !req
210. go!
Copy !req
211. This is so childish...
Copy !req
212. But what else can I do?
Copy !req
213. All done!
Copy !req
214. Yay! Mission complete!
Copy !req
215. Doux, thank you for helping me out.
Copy !req
216. Yay!
Copy !req
217. Oh, are you going home already?
Copy !req
218. Yes. Before I go, why don't
I grant your wish, Doux?
Copy !req
219. I'm just supposed to do this for human
children, but let me grant you a wish.
Copy !req
220. What's your wish, Doux?
Copy !req
221. Doux's wish...
Copy !req
222. I WANT TO HELP SANTA CLAUS
- DOUX
Copy !req
223. already came true though.
Copy !req
224. So that's why you were awake?
Copy !req
225. Thank you.
Copy !req
226. Can we talk again sometime?
Copy !req
227. Yes. I'm sure we can.
Copy !req
228. Make sure you stay a good
girl until then, okay?
Copy !req
229. Yup.
Copy !req
230. Merry Christmas!
Copy !req
231. You met Santa Claus?
Copy !req
232. Yup. She was a lady Santa.
Copy !req
233. H-How could I fall asleep
at a time like that?
Copy !req
234. We handed out presents together.
Copy !req
235. We completed our mission!
Copy !req
236. To think they actually existed...
Copy !req
237. The world is bigger than I thought.
Copy !req
238. S-So where is this Santa?
Copy !req
239. Did you capture her?
Copy !req
240. Nope. She went home.
Copy !req
241. No... It's not "mission complete"
if you didn't capture her...
Copy !req
242. But she gave me a present.
Copy !req
243. Look! It's a big box!
Copy !req
244. I wonder what's inside.
Copy !req
245. All right, Doux!
Copy !req
246. Now your trial is to capture Santa Jahi!
Copy !req
247. One, two! One, two!
Copy !req
248. One, two! Mission complete!
Copy !req
249. THE DEMON KING'S FAMILIAR LOVES HUMANS TOO MUCH!
Copy !req
250. "The Demon King's Familiar
Loves Humans Too Much!"
Copy !req
251. A wall in the mines collapsed?
Copy !req
252. Yes. Apparently, there are some
human casualties, as well.
Copy !req
253. Casualties?
Copy !req
254. Er, this doesn't concern you, Doux.
Copy !req
255. More importantly, it's dangerous
if you aren't being careful.
Copy !req
256. Okay!
Copy !req
257. What were you supposed to do
with your left hand again?
Copy !req
258. Hm...
Copy !req
259. Oh! Curl it up like a kitty paw!
Copy !req
260. That's right, a kitty paw.
Copy !req
261. Meow, meow!
Copy !req
262. Very good.
Copy !req
263. Okay, now let's slowly cut that
with the knife. Slowly, okay?
Copy !req
264. Slowly!
Copy !req
265. Be careful with that knife, okay?
Copy !req
266. If you cut your hand, it's
going to be really ouchy!
Copy !req
267. Slowly, slowly.
Copy !req
268. There, there, there.
Copy !req
269. You're so overprotective!
Copy !req
270. Hiyah.
Copy !req
271. No! You've got the wrong idea, Jahi!
Copy !req
272. How do I have the wrong idea?
Copy !req
273. You are absolutely, positively
overprotectively showing her how to cook!
Copy !req
274. I figured this might happened,
so I declined at first.
Copy !req
275. However...
Copy !req
276. You know...
Copy !req
277. You and Big Sister Jahi
are busy with work, right?
Copy !req
278. So Doux wants to get really good
at cooking and make you yummy food!
Copy !req
279. How am I supposed to decline
after she says something like that?
Copy !req
280. My precious daughter's
first homemade meal!
Copy !req
281. Please cut us a little slack, Jahi.
Copy !req
282. I fear that it might be too late for him.
Copy !req
283. Eat up!
Copy !req
284. This does look delicious.
Copy !req
285. Oh, no. His Majesty is devastated
Copy !req
286. she didn't offer him
her first homemade meal!
Copy !req
287. Say, "Aah!"
Copy !req
288. Should I eat this? Should I not?
Copy !req
289. Which one is it?
Copy !req
290. You don't like sandwiches?
Copy !req
291. N-No, I wouldn't say that...
Copy !req
292. Actually, Lady Doux!
Copy !req
293. Let's prepare some food for
the magical beasts, too!
Copy !req
294. For the magical beasts?
Copy !req
295. I see. That's a brilliant idea.
Copy !req
296. Then why don't you feed my familiar?
Copy !req
297. It'd be perfect for that trial.
Copy !req
298. Yes, as you wish.
Copy !req
299. Giant rocks!
Copy !req
300. A part of the wall collapsed.
Copy !req
301. Because of that, the
mining has been halted.
Copy !req
302. Not to mention...
Copy !req
303. Human casualties like that also occurred.
Copy !req
304. Wait! Don't go rush off to treat them!
Copy !req
305. But they can't work if I don't heal them.
Copy !req
306. How do you always think like that?
Copy !req
307. Did you forget the three principles
to become a full-fledged demon?
Copy !req
308. Mushrooms, seal, and... chill?
Copy !req
309. You must shrewdly
oppress, steal, and kill.
Copy !req
310. Demons are supposed to
be cruel and hurt humans.
Copy !req
311. And we aren't supposed to treat
humans who are already injured.
Copy !req
312. We're supposed to feed
them to the monsters.
Copy !req
313. This is Druj.
Copy !req
314. His Majesty's one and only familiar.
Copy !req
315. Druj contributed greatly while His
Majesty was trying to conquer the world
Copy !req
316. Druj proved most useful...
Copy !req
317. when it came to getting rid of
the defeated humans.
Copy !req
318. Druj reacts to human blood
and only eats the wounded.
Copy !req
319. The wounded?
Copy !req
320. Yes. Meaning...
Copy !req
321. We are going to feed that human to Druj.
Copy !req
322. That is your trial for today, Lady Doux.
Copy !req
323. But Doux wants to help
the humans' ouchies.
Copy !req
324. So you're saying that you are going
to abandon Druj and help the humans.
Copy !req
325. It's not just Druj.
Copy !req
326. There are many who live
in the demon world:
Copy !req
327. those who only eat meat,
Copy !req
328. those who only eat fish,
Copy !req
329. and those who only consume eggs.
Copy !req
330. They aren't picky eaters.
That is all they can eat.
Copy !req
331. Druj does not recognize anything
other than the wounded as food
Copy !req
332. and will throw anything else up.
Copy !req
333. The more you treat humans, Lady Doux,
the less Druj will have to eat.
Copy !req
334. And then Druj will die.
Copy !req
335. I don't want that to happen!
Copy !req
336. Of course, you don't.
Copy !req
337. Now, bring that wounded human over here.
Copy !req
338. Lady Doux is too kind...
Copy !req
339. So I'll just have to take
advantage of that kindness.
Copy !req
340. Demons or humans...
Copy !req
341. When faced with a situation where
she can only save one or the other,
Copy !req
342. even Lady Doux should be
able to abandon the humans.
Copy !req
343. That is what I've discovered this time.
Copy !req
344. Then we'll just have to recreate
this situation over and over
Copy !req
345. and if she gets used to abandoning them,
Copy !req
346. her attachment to the
humans should disappear.
Copy !req
347. This is the first step towards that goal.
Copy !req
348. Come with me.
Copy !req
349. Wait, I can't...
Copy !req
350. My leg is hurt. It hurts so
bad that I can't stand up.
Copy !req
351. Well, I can't take you if you can't stand.
Copy !req
352. Lady Doux?
Copy !req
353. Why are you healing her? I told
you not to heal her, didn't I?
Copy !req
354. But I can't take her with
me if she can't walk.
Copy !req
355. Then you need to make them walk
even if you have to drag them!
Copy !req
356. That's what demons do!
Copy !req
357. But Doux isn't strong at all.
Copy !req
358. And my arms are all heavy,
so I can't drag her.
Copy !req
359. Your arms are heavy? Why is that?
Copy !req
360. 'Cause I got lots of
sandwiches in my pockets.
Copy !req
361. That's why?
Copy !req
362. Well, now what are you going to do?
Copy !req
363. Druj has nothing to eat and is angry now.
Copy !req
364. Try this.
Copy !req
365. I've got lots!
Copy !req
366. That won't work, Lady Doux.
Copy !req
367. I told you this already. Druj
will only eat wounded humans.
Copy !req
368. Huh?
Copy !req
369. OM NOM NOM
Copy !req
370. Really?
Copy !req
371. Big Sister Jahi! Druj said it was yummy!
Copy !req
372. I-Impossible...
Copy !req
373. That's... mana?
Copy !req
374. D-Don't tell me Lady Doux used her
Copy !req
375. magical powers so Druj could eat it...
Copy !req
376. How can that be?
Copy !req
377. Doux decided!
Copy !req
378. D-Decided what, exactly?
Copy !req
379. Doux wants to make yummy food
that everyone can eat after all.
Copy !req
380. Demons, humans, magical
beasts, and animals!
Copy !req
381. Then they'll all tell me it's
yummy, and we can all eat together!
Copy !req
382. I-I knew it...
Copy !req
383. Great job!
Copy !req
384. You're amazing, Doux!
Copy !req
385. Druj is awesome, too!
Copy !req
386. How did this happen?
Copy !req
387. I haven't the slightest...
Copy !req
388. Someone, please tell me.
Copy !req
