Who are you?
I just explained that!
Let me ask a different question.
You saw my true form, didn't you?
I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss
The Villainess Steals the Show
Answer if you don't want me to kill you.
So silence is your choice.
And you want me to help you? Don't make me laugh.
What are you trying to make me do?
Fine, let me explain.
Come out, Ribbon!
C-Call this thing off! Hey!
I want to protect you.
Protect me?
As you can see, I can summon demons.
If nothing else, you know I'm not on the side of the church that's hunting you down.
I'm looking for Ashtarte. You know of him, don't you?
I'm Ashtarte.
Huh?
I'm half demon.
No one at the academy knows, even the other student council members.
My father gave me the demon name "Ashtarte."
It's a name I abandoned a long time ago.
D-Did he have that background in the game?
So why is someone using your name to attack others?
Who knows?
Someone is probably trying to frame me as the culprit of the attacks.
Hey, send this demon back.
It'll be bad if someone sees it.
And you shouldn't come up to me so readily.
I'm not one of you.
You're really similar to the person I like, President James.
What?
Anyway, I'm going to do my best to protect you, so please help me.
Don't report me to the director.
I refuse.
Come out, Ribbon...
F-Fine! Don't use demons as a shield!
That's cowardly!
What about the demons in the city?
They've all evacuated the area.
Good. Make sure to keep easily influenced demons far away from Ashtarte.
I'll start patrolling the surrounding areas with Belzebuth tomorrow.
It'll be best if you stay here, Lord Claude.
I know, but it's frustrating that everything here is so inconvenient.
Even I'm...
Were you thinking of attending the school festival?
I was hoping to make some friends.
Huh?
I've never made a friend before.
I will do whatever I can for my lord.
You're right. We should start by having him practice greeting people...
As if! Lord Claude, aren't you here as the director of the academy?!
I know that, but...
Is being the demon lord hard for you?
I just want some friends.
Keith, our lord really wants friends.
You should prepare some immediately.
Friends aren't something you can prepare for someone else.
That's right. Aileen is very good at socializing.
I'll ask her for advice.
With her by my side, I don't have to give up any aspects of being human anymore.
Like I said! This is an academy, not some social circle!
You have your position to think about, so please make friends at another time!
But...
I won't stay quiet if you go out to play around while others are working hard.
School Festival Day 1
This is the security force!
All items that violate school regulations must be confiscated!
You should let it slide during the school festival!
Hand it over right now.
It's not demon incense.
Let's confiscate it and go, Jam—Blue.
Why am I walking around dressed like this?
Lord Claude was bothered by the duck costume,
so clearly, we need more of them!
Red! Blue!
Augu—Pink, are you still good on time?
Isn't there an entry deadline?
Huh? It's already time?! I've got to go!
There are a lot of external entries.
Do you think Auguste can win?
He'll be fine. He's a total muscle-head.
Thank goodness.
It seems they're still accepting entries.
The demon lord?
L-Lord Claude?!
Hm? There are more ducks now...
Sorry for the wait!
Huh? The academy director?
I'm not.
Then... the demon lord?
I may be dressed like the demon lord, but I'm not him.
I'm a passing traveler.
Oh! So you're working undercover as an ordinary person?
Of course. That's an excuse I can give to Keith.
I'll go with that.
Dressed like that?!
He's totally enjoying the school festival!
I'd like to know how to enter the swordsmanship tournament.
Oh, I just did it, so I know how.
I also know where the best food stalls are.
Enter the tournament first. There's no time.
Is he the type that wants to be taken care of?
Regardless of age or sex?!
He's staring! He's totally staring!
You're the duck that came to get my signature.
For some reason, I can't stop being curious about you...
W-Wall-slamming a duck?! What a wasted scene!
Why are you trying to get away?
Um, they'll stop taking new entries soon.
Yes, you're right.
At any rate, I'm glad to see Lord Claude having some fun living with humans.
I wish I could have explored with him...
Red! There's a problem!
The church wants to do whatever it takes to hunt down the demon hiding at the academy.
They've spread demon incense around the tournament to force the demon out of hiding.
They added it to the lanterns at the four corners of the arena.
The incense will spread throughout the arena immediately once they're lit.
But if we just remove them,
the church will consider us traitors and send assassins to get rid of us.
The director is entering the swordsmanship tournament!
If the demon incense causes him to demonize and turn into a giant dragon...
It won't just be the academy at risk. The entire country will be in danger.
We need to get Lord Claude to retire
from the swordsmanship tournament as soon as possible.
The demon lord got through the preliminaries
without using any magic, and only using his left hand.
He might lose with such a big handicap.
There's no way my Lord Claude will lose! Think harder!
Spare me the love boasts.
Well, there is a way.
Really?!
Luc developed this sleep potion.
He says it'll even work on the demon lord, whether he's in human or dragon form.
So you're thinking of drugging him to sleep.
We draw up this delicious water from a local well. Please have some.
I'd love to.
Please try your best during the finals.
Thank you.
I should rest a bit.
If he falls asleep,
we can prevent Lord Claude from demonizing and James from becoming the final boss.
The Grand Duchy of Mirchetta will be saved, and I can prevent my bad ending!
Lord Claude?
Lord Claude, it's time.
I'm not Claude right now.
I'm just an ordinary man named Black.
What kind of setup is that?!
And why isn't the medicine working?
U-Um, did you try the cookies I made?
Yes.
So... how do you feel?
Th-That woman...
Did she make them with a love potion?!
That might've affected the sleep potion!
I feel quite comfortable.
I-I see...
Looks like I'm out of options now.

Who made it to the finals?
A first-year student named Auguste.
Isn't he fighting against the demon lord?
Who do you think will win?
Definitely the demon lord!
You again.
What is it this time?
Your fiancée is a terrible woman.
I can't believe she got engaged to both brothers.
How disgusting.
She was thrown away by Prince Cédric.
That shows how much she's worth.
It's starting!
The demon lord and...
...a duck?!
I was curious about you, but it seems like you're not a normal duck.
I overdid it! I just wanted to get him a little angry...
You insulted my fiancée.
A simple apology isn't going to save you!
What an unsteady sword.
I can't even tell if you're a man or a woman. Who are you?
Oh, you don't have to say anything.
I'll just shred that costume of yours into pieces!
Perfect. I'll get Lord Claude to destroy all the lanterns!
Red!
Are you all right?!
What's going on?!
It's a show before the finals!
Wow!
Three against one, huh?
The duck suits are a real mystery.
Ailey, someone from the church is lighting the lanterns!
Pay attention!
What are you trying to do?
You insulted Aileen on purpose, didn't you?
Huh? What's going on?!
Auguste, help us!
H-Help you how?!
Say things like, "The demon lord's fiancée is ugly!"
That's something you shouldn't say even if it's true!
Sh-Shoot!
W-We did it!
But...
Hey, are you all right?!
What in the world is going on?!
W-We were doing a show before the finals!
We wanted to show everyone the strength of the security force.
Sorry about that, director!
You called my fiancée ugly to put on a show?
That red duck said particularly insulting things about my fiancée.
I won't stop until I slice it up.
And apologizing while hiding your faces doesn't seem very sincere.
Y-You're absolutely right.
This is bad. This is really bad!
What are you doing, my stupid lord?!
Keith, you're back.
Hello.
I got word that a certain someone was playing around and flew right over. Literally.
My lord, we completed your orders and have now returned.
What is this mess?!
It's your fault! I'm sure of it!
I was the one who broke things, but it wasn't my fault.
That's not an acceptable excuse!
Don't be so angry. I arranged some presents for you.
The people lying around the arena are from the church.
Huh?
They planted something in the lanterns.
Collect them and find out what they are.
He noticed the demon incense? When?
Our lord has caused you all a lot of trouble.
I will personally make sure he stays away from the rest of the school festival.
What about the finals?
You won.
Huh?
You won against my left hand. That makes you the winner.
I won?
We should compete again someday.
As friends.
Of course!
It's magic!
I've never seen magic before!
Wow!
I'll leave the rest to you.
I'll find out who you are next time.
With that, the first day of the school festival ended.
The church retreated from the academy after that,
but we still couldn't find the fake Ashtarte or the source of the demon incense.
School Festival Day 2
The prize for becoming the White Lily Princess is demon incense?
Yeah. Jasper received an anonymous letter at his newspaper in the imperial capital.
Ailey's secret organization is even connected with the newspaper?
That's amazing!
The ball is being targeted right after the swordsmanship tournament?
We have to confirm the prize.
The prize is being guarded, so that's impossible.
The guardian association is responsible for the ball.
What should we do, then?
Um...
Should I go and investigate?
I can try to become the White Lily Princess and win the prize.
That's it!
Are you sure?
Won't you faint the moment you stand on the stage?
I-I can do it!
People are saying that Rachel has the best chance to win against Selena,
so I think it'll work out.
I think it's possible.
I have no objections.
Me, neither.
Let's do it, then.
I'll prepare my dress right away.
Oh, I sold my dress...
Don't worry. You'll make it in time for the ball.
Go pick one out with Isaac.
Huh? Why me?
I'm counting on you.
Fine. Let's go.
Rachel.
P-Please wait!
I can't believe the prize for the White Lily Princess is demon incense.
That's not how it went in the game...
I'm sorry for the wait.
I-Isaac said that something showy would be just right...
Yeah, it looks great on you.
I'll try my best!
It may not look like it, but I have good etiquette and social skills.
I'll prove myself to Sir Isaac!
Will you ask Isaac to be your dance partner if you become the White Lily Princess?
Why Isaac?
When I suggested breaking off the engagement,
my parents were against it, and my fiancé was really angry.
Everyone blamed me, and I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do anymore.
But Isaac said just one thing...
Excellent job.
His words made me feel very proud of myself.
That's why I'm going to try my best. I won't lose to Selena.
She's just like me when I went to the ball.
Oh, Rachel. You entered the White Lily Princess competition?
Yes. I changed my mind.
I see. Let's try our best, then.
That dress is really beautiful.
Let me have a look.
Rachel?!
I-I'm okay...
Oh, no! My dress!
Huh? Lady Selena fell down the stairs?!
Her dress got ripped.
Right before getting judged?
Did someone push her?
Hey!
Lord Ailey.
Rachel...
Rachel, don't worry.
It was an accident. I can do something about the dress.
This woman...
How dare she do something like that to one of my precious juniors?!
Let's both do our best, fair and square!
Hey, what happened?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
You're wobbling! You won't be able to dance like that.
That's not true! I'm fine!
Give up on becoming the White Lily Princess.
But...
Rachel, will you lend me that dress?
Are you serious?
Ailey has a lot of courage.
He might look good in it.
No way...
Hello, everyone.
