Makai Senki Disgaea 2/Episode 1 Translation

Opening Scene

魔界。。。 それは宇宙に蔓延びる邪悪な世界。 禍々しき者どもが本能のままに生きる 無秩序なる魔の大地。。。 魔王と呼ばれる権力者たちの手で 支配、滅亡、復興、分裂を繰り返し 幾千幾万国にも膨れ上がった魔界は 宇宙に終わり無を混沌をもたらしていた。 そして、新たにまたひとつ、 魔界の闇に飲み込まれようとしている 世界が在った。。。

The Underworld... A world with influence across the Universe. A land of demons where chaos reigns and evil beings live acording to their instincts. By the hand of powerful beings known as Overlords, the Underworld, which had expanded to hundreds and thousands of lands, brought about endless chaos in the Universe where reigns, destruction, revival and divisions are repeated over and over. And so, once again, there is a land which looks set to throw the Underworld into disorder...

Prelude - Horuruto Village

Adel: Are you seriously doing this?

Adel: Even if you don't, as soon as I find Overlord Zenon it's finished.

Mama: I don't think so. If you keep searching as you are you'll never find him - this is the only way.

Mama: Anyway, are you done getting ready to summon Overlord Zenon?

Mama: I gathered up the charred dragon, elf's sweat, bone of the demon dragon taken with the sword of carnage... and all the other stuff.

Mama: And finally when we offer up the life span of the sacrifices, we can summon Overlord Zenon... ...probably.

Mama: So all you have to think about is defeating him once he's summoned... okay?

Papa: Mama, if we're all crammed in here as soon as our life span is sapped we'll die for sure!

Tarou: We will! Why do you need our life span?

Mama: Yeah, yeah. Don't complain. To summon Overlord Zenon we need life span whatever the cost.

Mama: You're all demons aren't you? What's 1 or 2 years of life span?

Mama: What's with you lot? Don't you want to return to being humans? Do you want to make my 15 years of work all for nothing?

Hanako: Taro and I have been demons since we were born - we're not even bothered about being human.

Mama: Shush little girl. I need to be human again. Just be the sacrifice.

Adel: Is that really a motherly thing to do?

Adel: If we really do need life span whatever the cost, why not use mine?

Mama: I'm afraid not. Because you may well be unique in this world in that you didn't become a demon.

Mama: We couldn't use your life span up so readily like that.

Adel: I don't agree with all this. I'd be just the same as a demon as a sacrifice.

Adel: Humans fight to the bitter end fair and square. That's my style.

Mama: Yeah, yeah, so you've said your piece. Let's begin the summoning ceremony!

Adel: Do you even hear what people are saying? Demon woman!

Mama: Exactly, I'm a demon. All this is thanks to Overlord Zenon's curse - no need to worry about it.

SUMMONING

Mama: By the contract made with the dark and light spirits of this land, I do summon in the name of Adel, "Overlord Zenon".

Mama: Oh no, it failed?

Rosalind: Huh? What just happened? Where am I?

Adel: A... woman?

Mama: Goodness, what a pretty Overlord.

Adel: Don't joke about it! Is this supposed to be Overlord Zenon?

Rosalind: Overlord Zenon? You are familiar with my father?

Adel: Father? You mean you're... Zenon's...

Rosalind: Precisely! I am Overlord Zenon's sole daughter, Rosalind!

Adel: She's serious?

Episode 1: The Overlord's Sole Daughter

Papa: So Overlord Zenon has a daughter. I never heard about that.

Hanako: You're shocked to find out?

Taro: Isn't it just that this demon lady is the daughter of a real Overlord?

Adel: That's right. First of all let's get this absolutely clear. You're... really the daughter of Overlord Zenon?

Rosalind: Kindly do not refer to me as 'you'. It is deplorable that you don not know how to speak eloquently.

Rosalind: Additionally, as for you doubting the truth of my stature, ?

Adel: So then? Come on and answer me.

Rosalind: I suppose I must. My kindness is as wide as the sea of stars. I will show you irrefutable living evidence.

SHOWS SEAL

Rosalind: Can you not see this four leaf clover - the symbol of my family?

Papa: Wow... that 4 leave clover is...

Mama: ...the seal of Overlord Zenon.

Rosalind: Indeed. As this is the symbol of Overlord Zenon, do you now believe me?

Rosalind: This symbol, which was carved when I was born, is evidence of the unshakable connection between my father and I. A bond between souls.

Papa: The four leaf clover is Overlord Zenon's symbol. We who have been touched by Overlord Zenon's curse also have a three leaf clover.

Papa: Here and there there are those without the three leaf clover. One with a real four leaf symbol has to be someone very close to Overlord Zenon.

Papa: Somehow, it seems you really are the real thing.

Mama: Well that is nice isn't it Adel. We can make her our hostage! (laughs)

Adel: That's not a good idea.

Rosalind: What? Your hostage? Don't make fun of this - I will not be used as a hostage.

Mama: Hey! There's a contract here. "I summon in the name of Adel, Overlord Zenon" is what I said.

Mama: Until Adel meets Overlord Zenon, you are bound by that contract and will not be able to leave Adel's side.

Mama: Demons don't go back on a contract, right?

Rosalind: These damned failed humans.

By contract, "Rosaly" joins your party!

Rosaly: With the agreement in place, I will not go back on it. I am not pleased with this situation, but there is no alternative.

Adel: ? So you'll show me the way to Zenon?

Mama: Don't pay any attention to him. He's just a boy after all. You mustn't be totally crushed by something like this.
