00:00The Cult of Diablos

00:30But I get it

00:30They're all grown up now and want their freedom

00:33This cult doesn't exist

00:36We can't play along with this travesty forever

00:39So we're setting ourselves free

00:40That's what they really meant

00:43I guess I can't blame them

00:50It was the same way for me in my old life

00:53As everyone gets older

00:55They forget about their superheroes

00:57Even back then

02:20so damn it

02:21we've done

02:22it

02:24I'll see you next time.

02:54I'll see you next time.

03:24Midgar Kingdom is a giant metropolis with a population of more than 1 million citizens.

03:28At the age of 15, I enrolled in the same school as my sister, the Midgar Academy for Dark Nights.

03:41It's a super prestigious institution where promising students from in and outside the kingdom go to school.

03:48And it's a medieval-style hierarchical society.

03:52But I still managed to get in, even though I'm just background character A.

03:57Of course, they still treat me like I'm a background character.

04:02They're all, go stay in a cheap downtown apartment, hick.

04:07Ah, class society.

04:09Thanks for waiting.

04:11Hey, so what in the world happened to your hair?

04:14Come on, we're gonna be late, Sid.

04:16Sorry.

04:17For my friends, I selected two guys who are genuinely proud of being background characters.

04:22Skell and Poe.

04:23Come on, hurry!

04:24Guys, wait for me!

04:25Damn it.

04:38I wish they'd let us live in the dorms on campus like all the upper-class kids.

04:42There's no place for bottom-of-the-pile peasants like us in the exalted abode of her highness and her kind.

04:48Listen, all we have to do is become honor students like my sister.

04:52Then they'd let us live in the dorms on campus.

04:54What, like be the champions in the bushing festival?

04:57Not a chance.

04:59Seven months into my student career, and I'm blending in quite nicely as a background student.

05:05In the midst of it, a day of reckoning has arrived.

05:08Anyway, you remember the penalty for the guy who scored the worst on yesterday's test, right?

05:12You lost the bet, Sid. You have to do it.

05:15I know what I have to do, but the penalty in question is to confess love to the most popular girl in school and suffer her brutal rejection.

05:22This is exactly the kind of background character of Venn I've been waiting for.

05:28And the girl in question is...

05:33Oh, most beautiful Princess Alexia, goddess of our campus, I humbly ask you to join me in pure and upstanding courtship.

05:45Not interested.

05:52That's the princess for you. I know she's destined for political marriage after she graduates, but...

05:57He wouldn't have been a bad choice for someone to fool around with.

06:00Now, listen here. Don't you go getting cold feet on us, you got it?

06:04Oh, don't worry. I spent all last night planning out how I was going to do it.

06:09Watch closely and see how it's done.

06:12Behold, the entirety of the world's most background character-like love confession.

06:17Princess Alexia, I like you!

06:38Will you please be my girlfriend?

06:48Nailed it.

06:49This is the kind of background character I've always wanted to be.

06:52Now I need her to turn me down so I can run away and follow my face.

06:56All right, I will.

06:58Huh?

06:58I've been waiting for someone exactly like you.

07:03Here's to our new relationship.

07:06Uh, sure.

07:09Why?

07:10Ah!

07:11Ah!

07:13How did I get sucked in as the rom-com protagonist?

07:26Look, that's him.

07:27No way. He's way too average.

07:30This must be a mistake.

07:31I'm so gonna kill him.

07:33But who is he?

07:35You don't think it's weird?

07:38Oh, it's weird.

07:39This is definitely very bizarre.

07:41If I'm being brutally honest, you are nowhere near worthy enough to date Princess Alexia.

07:46In fact, I don't even think I would make the cut.

07:48If she was willing to take you, Sid, maybe even I had a chance at dating her.

07:52I should have just asked her out myself.

07:55I'm scared. I feel like there has to be a catch.

07:57I mean, she and I don't even live on the same planet.

08:00Who cares about that?

08:01You could get some sweet memories out of this.

08:03He's right.

08:04But if you want, I could trade places with you.

08:06Huh?

08:09Do you mind if I come sit with you guys?

08:11Go ahead. Yeah.

08:12If this seat will do, by all means have a seat.

08:17Their sense of insignificance.

08:19Did I pick the perfect friends or what?

08:21She's no woman who will be seen.

08:23She's so close to them.

08:27Wow, that's royalty for you.

08:29Look at all that food.

08:30I never managed to finish it.

08:32Honestly, I wouldn't mind having some of the lower class options.

08:36Can I have some?

08:39This is delicious.

08:43I'll have some of that too.

08:45Hey, this isn't bad either.

08:47I call it Operation Dump Me Already, Dammit.

08:50How's that?

08:51Disenchanted yet?

08:51So you are studying Royal Bousheen Fencing for your afternoon P.E. class?

08:57Uh, yes.

08:58I thought we could take the class together.

09:01Yeah, no.

09:02I don't think so.

09:03I'm in Section 9, the lowest of all the sections.

09:06Oh, that's all right.

09:07I put in a good word for you and they opened up a spot in Section 1, okay?

09:12I guess so.

09:14And thus my lunch and Operation Dump Me Already, Dammit, came to a close.

09:18Skell and Poe remained useless lumps to the bitter end.

09:24We have a new member joining our team today.

09:28I'm Sid Cagano.

09:29Thank you for having me.

09:31I'd expect nothing less of Section 1.

09:33Their advisor, Mr. Xenon, is the official Royal Fencing Instructor.

09:37Unlike the lower sections, there's an all-encompassing air of constant vigilance.

09:40As you know, the Royal Bousheen style that we study here is an original style,

09:45derived from the traditional Bousheen school.

09:47You might say it's a new friend, like you.

09:50We faced a lot of pushback at first.

09:53But thanks to the genius of Dark Knight Princess Iris,

09:55the sister of our own Alexia,

09:57we've gained enough momentum to rival traditional Bousheen.

10:01In other words, if you have the strength,

10:03you can successfully parry the skeptical eyes of the masses.

10:06So now,

10:08how much strength do you have?

10:10Alexia's attacks never land,

10:28and her movements are slow.

10:30She doesn't use much magic, either.

10:33At first, I thought she was just matching her level to mine.

10:36But she wasn't.

10:37The goal of this practice is to review our strokes and counter-strokes,

10:41and she is strictly adhering to that.

10:44Thinking back, before the lesson, she was copying my stretches.

10:48In other words, she's hyper-aware.

10:51A perfectly honed technique that stays true to the basics and pregoes any excess.

10:55But it's boring.

10:57Yep.

10:57Very dull.

10:58The world sees her as far inferior to her sister,

11:02who is currently praised as the most powerful Dark Knight in the kingdom.

11:06But,

11:06her insidious fighting style is the result of a lot of effort.

11:10It's proof that she's built up her skills in the basics,

11:12one step at a time.

11:18Alright then,

11:19that's all for today's lesson.

11:20Thank you for a good match.

11:24Thank you as well.

11:25You have a good fencing style.

11:27Yeah, thank you.

11:28But I hate it.

11:30It's like I'm fighting with myself.

11:34Huh?

11:35Can I make the assumption that that is your answer then?

11:39Alexia?

11:40Yes, that's correct.

11:42I have decided to be his girlfriend.

11:45Mr. Xenon, sir.

11:47Oh, please.

11:48You're acting like a child.

11:50You know you can't keep running away forever.

11:52But I am a child.

11:53I can't understand grown-up problems.

11:56It hasn't been made public yet,

11:57but we are still betrothed.

11:59Oh, I get it.

11:59I see what's going on now.

12:01If you would just give it an answer,

12:02we could proceed with the arrangement.

12:04For now.

12:05I'll blend into the background

12:06and just ride out this main character to your event.

12:14Wanna stop?

12:15I need to go shoot.

12:16Ooh, please.

12:18So, basically,

12:19you don't want to get engaged to Mr. Xenon

12:21and you need a patsy to help you get out of it,

12:23am I right?

12:24That's why you chose a low-class aristocrat like me,

12:26whom you could easily control.

12:28Yes, that's right.

12:29Sorry, but I don't want to attract

12:31any more attention than needed.

12:32And frankly, I'm not too interested

12:33in getting mixed up in your problems.

12:35That's pretty cold,

12:36coming from my boyfriend.

12:38In name only, you mean.

12:40As if you were any better, Mr. Cid,

12:42I confessed fake love

12:43because I lost a bet, Coggino.

12:45I had a little chat with your friends.

12:50They turned beet red

12:51and sang like canaries.

12:53That's not very nice,

12:55toying with the pure heart

12:56of an innocent young girl.

12:58If the rest of the student body found out,

13:00you may never see another peaceful day

13:02at this school.

13:04Oh, dear, are you all right?

13:06Your face seems awfully twitchy

13:07for some reason.

13:08I'm fine.

13:09My mouth twists like that

13:10because I'm twisted deep down in my soul.

13:13But I'm not as warped as you are.

13:15Did you say something, Cid?

13:16Nope, I said nothing.

13:18Anyway, I think I will have you

13:20keep pretending to be my boyfriend.

13:22You can stop after that man gives up on me.

13:24Fine, but will he ever give up?

13:26Anyone can see that I'm clearly out of your league.

13:29I know that, of course.

13:31I just need you to buy me some time.

13:33I will take care of the rest of it on my own.

13:35I don't see this ending well for us.

13:37Blah, blah, blah.

13:38You are so whiny.

13:39Really?

13:58Do I strike you as the type of guy

14:00who can be bought with money?

14:01Yes, you do.

14:05Well, you're absolutely right.

14:07My allowance for my parents

14:16isn't nearly enough

14:17to fund my eminence and shadow operations.

14:19Can I afford to let this chance slip by?

14:22No!

14:23My, what a good boy you are.

14:28You're such a good puppy.

14:31Now fetch.

14:32And thus, I decided to continue

14:41my romantic relationship with Alexia.

14:47Man, I had my eye on her, too.

14:50He's just a gold digger.

14:51But seriously, who is that guy?

14:53Fortunately, everyone focused only on the fact

14:55that Alexia had a boyfriend.

14:57So, I was able to play the role

14:59of the background boyfriend character.

15:00Xenon opted for the wait-and-see approach.

15:15Of all the...

15:27That man is so infuriating.

15:29He thinks he's so great

15:30just because he can swing a sword.

15:32Okay, okay.

15:33You saw that phony smile,

15:35didn't you, little puppy?

15:37Okay, okay.

15:38Only say okay once.

15:40Okay.

15:40As expected, Alexia was very well-mannered in public.

15:45But behind closed doors,

15:46she was a whirlwind of insults and spite.

15:48Debating her would be a waste of time.

15:50I must play the role of a robot

15:52who is programmed only to agree.

15:54You're a princess.

15:59Isn't your face enough

16:00to get you to the front of the line?

16:01Of course it is.

16:03But the point of this

16:04is not to go out for ice cream.

16:06It's to inform the entire world

16:08of my relationship.

16:09Oh, that makes sense.

16:13So then what exactly is the problem

16:15you have with marrying Xenon?

16:16As a prospective husband,

16:18I think he's a pretty prime selection.

16:20Everything is the problem.

16:21I hate everything

16:22about his entire existence.

16:24But he is good-looking.

16:25He's got status, fame, and money.

16:27And of course,

16:27he is quite popular

16:28with all the other girls.

16:30That's just on the surface.

16:31It's really quite easy

16:32to pretend to be perfect.

16:33I mean, that's what I do.

16:35That explains it.

16:37That's a very convincing argument.

16:38Did you say something?

16:40No, nothing.

16:41Anyway, I don't judge people

16:43only by what I see on the surface.

16:45Well, how do you judge people, then?

16:47By their flaws.

16:48Hmm, a very negative way

16:50to judge people.

16:51Sounds like you.

16:52And that's why.

16:53I've nothing against a guy

16:55who's totally average full of flaws

16:56with no redeeming qualities like you.

16:58Why, thank you.

16:59I'll take that as a compliment.

17:01And if I may ask,

17:02what are some of Xenon's flaws?

17:05He has none.

17:06So he is a prime selection.

17:08Uh, no.

17:09There's no such thing

17:09as a person with no flaws.

17:11If a person like this did exist,

17:13they'd either be a massive liar

17:14or completely psychotic.

17:16Oh, I see now.

17:17Thank you for that totally arbitrary

17:19and biased response, Alexia.

17:20You're very welcome,

17:21my ever-so-flawed puppy.

17:23Here's today's reward.

17:24Huh?

17:27Woo!

17:27So two more weeks passed,

17:31and I continued to play the boyfriend

17:33with no relationship progress

17:35worth mentioning.

17:42Your fencing

17:43is a mystery to me.

17:46You've got the basics down,

17:48but nothing more than that.

17:49There's absolutely nothing else to it,

17:51but I can't take my eyes away from it.

17:53Gee, thank you.

17:55But I still detest watching you fight.

17:59What's wrong with you today?

18:01Your fencing was unusually aggressive

18:02and sloppy.

18:04Just the ramblings of a fake boyfriend.

18:06You really don't have to look at me

18:08like that, you know?

18:08All my life,

18:14I wanted to be as good

18:15as my sister Iris.

18:18But what I have

18:19has never been the same

18:20as what she has.

18:22So I figured it out on my own.

18:24I tried to get stronger

18:25in my own way.

18:26And look where it got me.

18:28What good has it done?

18:29You know what they call me,

18:30don't you?

18:32Fencer Ordinaire.

18:33Exactly.

18:34But your fencing style

18:36is just as ordinary as mine.

18:37Unfortunately for you, that is.

18:40I don't think it's unfortunate at all.

18:42I kind of like your fencing style.

18:49Someone else told me

18:50the same thing once.

18:53At the Bouchine Festival

18:54after I'd suffered

18:55a humiliating defeat,

18:57my sister said it to me.

19:01I knew she'd never understand

19:02what was going on

19:03in my head at that moment

19:04and how extremely pathetic I felt.

19:07I've hated my sword style

19:09ever since.

19:11You should know

19:12that I'm not a very nice person.

19:15If somewhere on the other side

19:16of the world

19:16there was an unfortunate incident

19:18that killed a million people,

19:19it wouldn't bother me.

19:21That is vile and evil.

19:23However,

19:23there are some things

19:24that would bother me.

19:26They might be things

19:27that other people would see

19:27as worthless or futile.

19:29But to me,

19:30these things

19:31are the most precious things in life.

19:33that's why.

19:35I said I like

19:36your fencing style.

19:48What exactly do you mean

19:50by telling me all of that?

19:52Nothing at all.

19:53If I did mean anything,

19:55it's just that I get pissed off

19:57when people disrespect

19:58the things I care about.

19:59That's just how I feel.

20:07Is that so?

20:11I guess this is the end

20:33of my unwanted relationship.

20:35Come on, Sid.

20:43You have to cheer up.

20:44Things will get better.

20:45I know it was wrong

20:46of us to rat you out and all,

20:47but please don't hold it

20:48against us forever.

20:49Okay, okay.

20:50So tell us.

20:52How far did you get with her?

20:54With what?

20:55Oh, come on!

20:56You know, with her!

20:57You dated her for two whole weeks!

20:59Something must have happened!

21:00There had to be a little

21:01something, right?

21:02I didn't get anywhere.

21:06You know, you're just

21:07a good-for-nothing loser.

21:08If it were me,

21:09I would have gone all the way.

21:11I know, right?

21:12I definitely would have

21:13at least kissed her.

21:14No, a little farther.

21:15Maybe a soft caress.

21:16But maybe something

21:17a little more hardcore.

21:18Can we have a minute?

21:36Please, go ahead!

21:37You should know that

21:38Princess Alexia did not return

21:40to her dorm last night.

21:42Well...

21:43The Night Order has been

21:44investigating it as a

21:45potential kidnapping.

21:46And as the last person

21:48to have been in contact

21:48with her,

21:49you're now a suspect.

21:51I would like to ask you

21:52a few questions.

21:54I assume you're willing

21:55to cooperate?

22:05The...

22:06And that's when

22:09I realize something.

22:12I am in big trouble.

22:14And that's when I stopped

22:16Tendo's

22:17Little

22:26I don't have a sense to you, but I don't think it's like that.

22:37I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I want to die. I want to die.

22:43The day of the sun is lit up.

22:49I've been searching for a long time

22:53I've been searching for a long time

22:56Until I met you

23:02The moon will be shining

23:06The moon will be connected

23:09The path to the end of the day

23:12The moon will be connected

23:14The moon will be connected

23:18In the night of the night, I'm going to follow the prayer of the night

23:24Even though I can't believe it

23:29I want to thank you so much

23:32Thank you

23:48.

24:18.
