Um, are you the transfer student, Ailey Calois?
No...
Uh, no! That's right.
I'm Auguste Zelm.
As vice president of the student council, I'm here to pick you up.
May I call you "Ailey"?
Please take care of me, um...
You can just call me "Auguste."
Aileen Lauren d'Autriche's game has yet to end.
It's time to start my school life disguised as a boy!
I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss
The Villainess Tricks Her Fiancé
Lord Claude.
One Month Ago—
I've told you time and again to stop doing things like this!
I'm tired.
Unlike demons, humans make a lot of demands.
They keep bringing troublesome issues to me.
Th-Then why not take a nap in your bedchamber?
I'll do that if you join me.
I-I'm going to get angry!
Keith, what is it?
We have a bit of a problem.
A demon named Ashtarte sent us a statement as the representative of the Mirchetta region.
Some demons have disobeyed your orders and attacked a human village.
Mirchetta is...
At this rate, I fear you may be held responsible.
...a vassal state of the Elmir Empire and the home of Mische Academy,
where Regalia of Saints, Demons, and Maidens 2 takes place.
Regalia of Saints, Demons, and Maidens 2
~The Falling Kingdom and the Saint of Salvation~
I don't remember much about it,
but the second game dealt with the demons that tried to destroy
the Grand Duchy of Mirchetta after they lost the demon lord.
The people will blame Lord Claude if the duchy falls,
and he'll lose his right to the throne.
If that happens...
dies———————————
I'll head toward those bad endings again.
I have to prevent that from happening!
"We will not accept a demon lord who has fallen for the Holy Sword Maiden."
"If you do not present us her head, we will attack the Grand Duke of Mirchetta next."
Initiate the emergency procedures we set in place for possible demon invasions immediately.
Yes, Lord.
I've already dispatched Belzebuth and Almond to the village that was attacked.
I'll have Jasper ask around to raise relief funds and gather emergency supplies.
As for other things we can do for now...
I'll act as the Grand Duke of Mirchetta's proxy.
What?!
This way, I can catch Ashtarte myself.
Well, the Grand Duke of Mirchetta has fallen ill due to what happened...
But are we really allowed to do this?
We've already taken care of the groundwork.
Cédric agreeing to the plan made things a lot easier.
Prince Cédric? I have a bad feeling about this...
I'll go as well, then.
No. You're the enemy's target.
I have the holy sword. Demons can't really be considered a threat.
I'm sure Ashtarte is fully aware of that.
He'll use humans against you.
It's also a misogynistic region that looks down on women,
and it's the original homeland of the Holy Sword Maiden.
"Even the Saint of Salvation should never forget her duties as a woman."
That region still holds on to old concepts like that.
As I thought, it's better if you stay in the imperial capital.
B-But...
According to the game, there's a high probability
that demon incense is being used.
Demon incense is a secret drug that makes demons lose their rationality.
It also works on humans and greatly increases their physical strength.
If someone uses that against Lord Claude...
Stop making such a lascivious expression!
Lasci...? Where did that come from?
A-Anyway, I'm going with you!
I'll definitely be helpful!
I won't let you.
You can teleport from one place to another so easily
that you don't understand the feelings of a woman left behind.
What?
I forbid you from using magic to visit me while you are staying in Mirchetta.
You should consider this a trial for lovers who have to be apart.
I'll consider ending our engagement if you don't keep your word!
Mische Academy.
I have to search this academy and find out how closely things
have followed the plot of the game.
And yet...
The palace where Lord Claude is acting as the grand duke's proxy is just an arm's length away.
We'd better not accidentally meet, since I'm still supposed to be in the imperial capital!
My father helped me ensure there are no problems with the paperwork.
I even changed my name and gender, as an extra precaution.
I told you that coffee should have sugar!
I-I'm sorry.
Hey, what are you—huh?
You can't even buy a cup of coffee correctly?!
Having you as a fiancée is such an embarrass—
Ow, ow, ow!
That's no way to treat a lady.
Y-You—
Wh-Who the hell are you?!
My name is Ailey Calois. I'm a transfer student.
Hurry up and apologize to her.
Who are you kidding?! Who'd apologize to a woman?!
I'd heard that the male chauvinism was bad at this academy,
but this is worse than I expected.
Unfortunately for you,
I have no plans to follow the old teachings of the Holy Sword Maiden.
Here.
What happened here?
Why'd a guy like that come to our academy?
You should end your engagement with this guy as soon as possible.
I'm sure it'll change your life.
Please excuse me, young lady.
That was impressive!
That idiot! I told her to lay low!
This is the student council room.
Oh! Kyle and Walt are here. That's rare.
He had to escape from a group of girls and, I tagged along.
Hey, don't say it like that.
Auguste, Walt, and Kyle.
You say that, Walt, but aren't you pretty popular, too?
They're all characters with romance paths in the second game.
Huh?
In the best ending of the second game,
Auguste borrows Lilia's holy sword and defeats the final boss...
So, who is this?
Nice to meet you. I just transferred here. My name is Ailey Calois.
Hmm... You have quite a pretty face.
You're a bit close.
You're late.
I told you to bring him over immediately.
I rushed him over as fast as I could, President James.
James Charles,
the president of the student council, was the final boss in the second game.
m 0 0 l 275 0 l 275 174 l 0 174
Voice: Soma Saito
The president of Mische Academy's student council. The Grand Duchy of Mirchetta is after his life because he is half-demon. He is the final boss of Regalia of Saints, Demons, and Maidens 2 and claims to be the demon lord's successor.
James, a half-demon, should have been the next Grand Duke of Mirchetta...
But his standing made him a target.
A powerful church within the grand duchy continually sent assassins to kill him.
He gets cornered to the point he announces himself as the demon lord's successor
and attacks the grand duchy.
But I'm sure I can stop him from becoming the final boss.
I just have to tame James, too.
For Lord Claude's sake, of course!
So you're Ailey Calois.
I hear you've already caused trouble, on the day of your transfer.
James, the other party was in the wrong.
Don't take it upon yourself to play the hero.
I am the law in this academy.
Remember that.
The same thing happened when I was Prince Cédric's fiancée, too.
Um, are you all right?
You're the girl from yesterday... um...
My name is Rachel Danis.
Rachel Danis?!
Huh? Um, d-did I do something wrong?
S-Sorry. You just have the exact same name as another girl I know.
I-I see...
Hey, Rachel! What are you doing?!
Come over here!
I-I'm sorry.
Rachel Danis should be the villainess of the second game...
Her personality isn't what I expected.
You caused trouble on your first day at this school,
and you came to class without your textbook.
You must be a very talented student.
What's the answer to the question on page 137?
Three.
Correct...
That's amazing.
Whoa!
He doesn't even have a textbook.
Hmph, you were lucky.
Selena
The answer is three.
I'm glad I remembered the answer the heroine gave in the game.
That's...
You'd like me to give this letter to Auguste?
Yes, Lord Auguste stopped my boyfriend when he was yelling at me.
So I wanted to thank him.
I understand.
If you're having trouble with your boyfriend,
do you want me to help broach the subject of breaking up?
Huh? You would do that?
Yes, but you have to learn to become strong enough to bring it up yourself.
Just like Lady Lilia, the Holy Sword Maiden.
R-Right!
The heroine of the second game, Selena Gilbert.
She is a commoner who became the daughter of a baron.
She also absolutely adores Lady Lilia, the Holy Sword Maiden.
Ailey.
I heard about your textbook. Are you all right?
Oh... Yeah. It was nothing.
Auguste!
Hey, can we go home together after class?
One of the girls consulted me.
I've been a bit overwhelmed lately with all these requests.
We can discuss things in the student council room.
You don't want people getting the wrong idea, right?
He still won't walk home with her?
Doesn't that mean her favorability rating is too low?
Maybe things aren't progressing like the original game...
But you should choose your friends more carefully, Auguste.
I can't believe someone would talk badly about Lady Lilia!
Sorry. She's always admired the Holy Sword Maiden.
She even exchanges letters with her.
But Lady Lilia isn't the Holy Sword Maiden anymore, right?
Don't say that in front of Selena.
She'll talk about how Aileen d'Autriche is the worst villainess of all time,
and how she should return Lady Lilia's sword.
Auguste... I actually wanted to ask you for a favor.
Lord Claude, some people from the guardian association would like to talk to you
about a problem at Mische Academy.
All right. I'll see them now.
Do you think she'd be angry if I sent a letter using magic?
I think using magic for that would be a bad idea.
I see...
Ask Almond to deliver it for me, then.
Oh, that's right.
The prodigal son of the Grand Duke of Mirchetta
has been investing a lot of money in that shady church.
It seems like he's trying to have his nephew assassinated.
Nephew? Did his deceased older sister have an illegitimate child?
Yes, his older sister eloped with a demon nearly 20 years ago.
It seems a half-demon was born of their union.
The prodigal son is worried that his nephew will be chosen as the next ruler of Mirchetta.
He believes that his nephew is the demon Ashtarte, and he's quite nervous.
I understand. I'll keep that in mind.
What's wrong? Don't you have something to report?
Y-Yeah.
I was thinking of joining the student council.
Huh? I told you not to stand out!
There's a bigger problem right now!
I just got a letter from Lord Claude.
He found out?!
He hasn't yet, but...
Standing in front of you, I'm just a foolish man.
I can't live without you anymore.
If I lost you, I wouldn't mind destroying the whole world.
I wonder if a goddess such as yourself feels the same way as I do.
It's frustrating that I can only yearn for your love.
I await your reply.
From Claude Jeanne Elmir,
to my beloved.
How am I supposed to reply to a letter like this?!
Ailey Calois wants to join the student council?
Don't you think a transfer student joining us would be a good change?
It's true that I don't know much about the academy,
but I believe I can help by giving a different perspective as an outsider.
This academy is a mirror of Mirchetta, and the student council is a mirror of its government.
Who would be stupid enough to allow a foreign transfer student to join?
I'm in favor.
Scouting talent from other countries is a common practice.
I'm happy to have more comrades.
Let's see if he's really a talent worth scouting, then.
What do you want me to do?
Investigate. A female student was injured a few days ago.
There are rumors that it was the work of a vampire.
A vampire? So you suspect that it's a demon?
The unconscious female student was wounded, as if someone had sucked her blood.
The witness herself had no memories of the incident.
The academy's guardian association has even consulted the grand duke's proxy.
The grand duke's proxy?
The demon lord, right? They're brave, doing that.
They're also suspicious that the demon lord himself may be the culprit.
I'll take on that case! I just need to catch the real culprit, right?
I can't allow anyone to think that Lord Claude attacked a student!
I'll leave it to you, then.
If you solve this case, I'll allow you to join.
One more thing. Will you allow me to create a security force?
Security force?
We'll need one if there's a chance that this is the work of a demon.
You're right.
Then, regarding the security force...
Get permission from the director of the academy,
the grand duke's proxy, by having him sign this document.
What?
The director of this academy is the Grand Duke of Mirchetta.
That means his proxy is currently the director.
B-But that's...
You're trying to solve a case about a vampire, but you're scared of the demon lord?
Is there a way I can make a huggable pillow of Aileen?
I've recently realized that my lord gets lovesick when he's tired.
Oh, that's right.
A student from the academy is coming to get a signature from you.
Come in.
Please sign this document.
Why are you dressed as a duck?
I was in the middle of preparing for the school festival.
There's a student inside, right?
I'm just an unimportant duck.
I don't think an unimportant duck would be responsible for important documents.
Ducks are the messengers of Mische Academy.
The symbol of the academy is the lily,
which represents the Holy Sword Maiden, not ducks.
Lord Claude! Aileen gave me her answer!
A security force that can be used for
investigations and to deter against future incidents is a good idea.
Work hard.
Thank you very much.
Good boy, Almond.
I'm a talented demon!
My beloved Lord Claude.
I'm doing well. Please continue to work hard.
Aileen Lauren d'Autriche.
I confused him with my duck costume and used my response letter to lower his guard.
A perfect plan, if I do say so myself.
The rain didn't stop until I rewrote my letter.
Goodness! I can't believe he made me write such an embarrassing letter!
Don't talk like that when you're dressed as a boy.
Oh, sorry about that.
Why did you bother making a security force?
So we can be the first to deal with any abnormalities.
This vampire case may have something to do with Ashtarte.
Shh!
Rachel?
She's the woman you saved on your first day here.
I-I sold my dresses, but I still don't have enough money...
That's...
I could tell everyone the truth, you know.
That you're the true culprit behind this vampire incident.
Y-You can't!
Wow, so Professor Koenig was the culprit.
Walt?! Why are you here?
Can't senior students join the security force, too?
By the way, who are you?
I-I'm Ailey's childhood friend. We happened to reconnect here at the academy.
Anyway, we should turn those two in as the culprits.
Since you don't have enough money, you'll have to pay the rest in a different way.
When you wake up, you'll just be another victim of the vampire.
It'll all be the work of a demo—
Isaac, take care of Rachel!
Yeah!
L-Lord Ailey?
Well, he's probably going to cause trouble again.
How could he get so far away so quickly?
Also...
Something smells sweet...
That looks like...
James?!
Why is he already in his demon form?!
