Volos! !

Waaaaaaaaaah! You big buuuuuullly!!

Audience:( face) Oooohhh! The pumpkins just disappeared! The theatre club sure is doing fancy things.

Good grief...... It looks like things are back to normal.

Alrighty! All we need to do now is rescue the captive princess!

[Player]! Arslan-dono! What in the world is going on? And what was that aroma...?

Are you alright, Jakarta?!	(Pumpkins first, explanation later!)

Arslan-sama, the young lady is...

Hrmm...... The wolf boy, Zabaniya and myself... Now this time, it's happening with Taromaiti.

Demon King-sama, help! Those people are with the Hero!

Help us, Demon King! Those people are the Hero's friends!

I see...... You all are on the Hero's side, eh?

Fine by me. I'll take you all on with all I've got!

This is bad. She's being tricked by the Pumpkin's magic just like we did.

Is the magic having an affect on her? It seems she can't distinguish between role and reality.

You need to listen to me!	We are not your enemy!

...... You say that while you have been cutting down my men with weapons in your hands.

Be cautious, Brave Warrior. The power of a "Demon King"... is manifesting from her.

I understand now. It's the same "power of the Demon King" as I once was.

Such a deception this is. I cannot... tolerate such a world.

For starters, we labeled monsters as evil... Is this the first time we persecuted them?

Discrimination by differences in idealogy and appearances...... "I" have become a Demon King, to rebel against a world such as this.

I am Demon King Tonas! I will rebel against a world that imposes righteousness!

She's really getting into the role.	Those remarks... Is that how she feels?
Did you see that, Cub? Pay closer attention to her. You can see flames of anger showing through in every word that she says.	That's possible. However, I can see what's happening here. Those words are too being distorted by the power of the Fairies. A wish that is twisted and amplified by them.

Everything will change from here! To a world where you don't need to feign your appearance and beliefs!

Yeah, yeah! Let's build our own world, Demon King!

It'll be boring to have only 1 Halloween! Today and tomorrow, even the day after tomorrow!

We're gonna make Halloween happen every day, forever and ever!

Halloween every single day!? What in tarnation are you kids--

Here we go! To our world!

TRICK OR TRICK~!!

W-What is this feeling...!! Nooo, M-Mast---

Salomon-kun!?	He disappeared! !

Dammit!! Everyone, be on your guard! Something's happening!!

The Jack-o-Lanterns scream in joy. The landscape all around you warps accordingly to their voices.

Scenery of a green forest begins to overlap the world that is supposed to be the top of a stage.

2 options (Same Response)
Is this a different world!?	Why is this happening!?

W-Where are this...? Were we sent away to a forest!?

The scent... the breeze... and the atmosphere too! Is this the scent of the fairy village? But, h-how!?

The reason why they kidnapped Volos was because of this. This most likely happened because of his presence.

His "Rule" and his influence on the "Pumpkins"-- And a physically closed off space called the "theatre"!

I fear that it's likely that the brainwashed "App" users occupying the hall excluded the common guests, then--

Then they used them to bring the "Fairy Village" here!

T-That can't be! The "Fairy Village" is the hometown of us Fairies! The source of the Fairies' "power" here is overflowing!

Deplorable... If they use that "power," they'll maintain this world for eternity!

They intend on making a Halloween festival that lasts for a day into a never-ending festival.

If this keeps up, this auditorium is gonna turn into an "otherworld"! We gotta stop this quick, [Player]!!

2 options (Same Response)
Let's stop this phenomenon!	Chernobog is helping too!

R... Right. Understood!

Chernobog-dono. Is something bothering you?

No, I will follow my Brave Warrior now. No, my "companion" this time!

Here we come! Let's get 'em!

[Battle]

HAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Ouch! You may have taken out our pumpkin friends, but there's still more to come!

We're full of spirit and just having fun! Let's move forward, forward, together!!

Geeeeeeeeeeeeh!! W-W-We're in for it now! T-There's a ton of them coming!!

We're being outnumbered, as I've expected.

Seriously. This is becoming a complete chore! Even while we're taking care of them, the surrounding scenery is...!

The auditorium already covered in greenery gradually transforms into a deep forest.

There is someone standing still, not worrying about the strange scene.

...... Ah. This one is different after all......

2 options (Same Response)
Chernobog?	Are you affected by the pumpkin's magic...?

Muttering words to himself, Chernobog speaks his decision.

[Player], my Brave Warrior. Please observe what I'm going to do.

The Hero steps forward to the Demon King. He drops the weapon he was holding and opens up his arms--

Chernobog-dono!? No! Don't get any closer to her!

She isn't an actor for the player now! You're in danger! Please come back!!

(Huh? Is that... the Demon King of death and ice? I didn't expect him to come to this world...!!)

Listen to me...! Demon King Tonas, my old enemy!

......You still believe we're continuing on with the play? What business do you have with me, Temporary Hero?

You... No, your regrets has reached out to my heart!

On top of that, I want to speak out my thoughts for a moment.

.........

Until I came here, I have only thought about defeating you as a Hero.

But then... I wondered if that is truly the right thing.

What is this nonsense! Are you intent on begging for your life at this time?

This is a good opportunity, [Player]. We can help Taromaiti while we have the chance--

If we can relieve her of the brainwashing from the pumpkins, this uproar should settle down.

2 options (Same Response)
Relax. We have to trust Chernobog on this one.	... Let's just observe the conversation for now.

... I am not begging for my life. But rather, I have a request.

A Hero... requesting something from a Demon King? Outrageous! I can't believe what I'm hearing right now!

........ Hah hah. Yes, you are quite correct.

I thought so too. I was just like you just now... with a confused face.

Chernobog exposed himself to her, as he stands before her eyes.

As if Chernobog has no intention of inflicting harm, or standing up to anything.

...... Long ago, I met someone.

Brave Jakarta:( face) A Brave Warrior that lost their way in my territory was imprisoned by my cage of black snow.

Brave Jakarta:( face) In order to break free, they had to kill me and undo the curse.

Brave Jakarta:( face) ...... They said something however. "I don't approve of freedom gained from methods like that."

Brave Jakarta:( face) Just like that, they kept refusing to take my life until the very end.

Brave Jakarta:( face) Even though we have never met, they cared for me despite I'm just a stranger to them.

...... That's ridiculous. Ignorant... Such an ignorant story.

2 options (Same Response)
Could this be about...	What happened on that snowy mountain...?

You are correct. They were truly, truly ignorant.

However, I kept thinking about that. Why did they choose such a path?

The Hero's mission is to throw down the Demon King. However, that... was not always the case.

I was chosen to be the Hero this time. Strangely enough, I burdened the same role, and reached the same perspective.

Now I understand. What they saw and what they were aiming for.

The Chosen Hero stared at the world of the Demon King before him and raised a voice of defiance.

That person opposed it! The very world that we obey and defines us!

Even if karma is inevitable, we don't need to abide to the things we don't want.

Those who rebel against the world can still stick to their righteous path! That is what it means to be a true Hero!

I will have the same resolve as them! As I have been saved, I will also go down the same path!

I will not kill the Demon King! I'm made aware of the pre-established plot!

-Understand that Demon King Chernobog is the opponent that you must destroy!

Now, brandish your blade! Pierce through my heart!

A gallant figure that does not bend their belief at "something that can't be helped," as long they have a heart!

1 option
Chernobog......!

Jakarta…… No, Brave Chernobog!

I will express honor for that belief. But, even if...!

I can't afford to give it all up! Because I already decided that I will reform the world as Demon King!

That is why I will prove it to you.

Those who speak of strong beliefs must have the strength worthy of that!

Not to defeat, but to mark the end of everything. To destroy my delusion!

The eyes of those who face one other cross each other. However, there is no sense of antagonism.

There was intense intention of exchanging feelings through means other than words.

Were you listening, my Brave Warrior? Was I able to deliver my heart...?

Have I gotten closer to your heart? Even just a little?

You were a praiseworthy Hero.	Come on, let's stop the Demon King!

Aahhh...... Thank you, Brave Warrior.

Then, let us get going. To saving Taromaiti!
