All language subtitles for Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan_02_1920_1080 eng

I am Kenzaburo Tondabayashi.

Just your ordinary
52-year-old civil servant.

Good morning. Where's your Mum?

Still sleeping.

It looks like she went
to sleep a bit late.

Hinako, you...

I see you did the thing I taught you to.

But of course, Dad.

My fav's! Merchandises!

Truly shines bright when used!!

(They also bought extra to be preserved)

(They also bought extra to be preserved)
Huh?

I'll be going.

Merchandises these days
sure have trendy designs.

I couldn't properly read
the names, though.

I always try to use the stairs
to keep myself healthy.

By not twisting my body and raising
my arm and leg on the same side,

I won't get exhausted.

I learned that from
a battle manga that I liked.

(Tsumanuda City Government Office)

Even in this 21st century, I still find
it faster to sort papers with abacus.

I don't mind eating
the curry here every day.

Thank you for the food.

Boss, the food was real good.

Ah, thank you.

Ah, thank you.
(Traffic Safety BUFF Month)

(Traffic Safety BUFF Month)

(Traffic Safety BUFF Month)
Well, for the design of the next
traffic safety PSA poster,

I'm proposing we use the popular anime,

"Mechanical Beast Knight Wyvern"
to promote it.

Huh? Did we even get
the rights for it?

About that, the manga artist actually
lives here in Tsumanuda City,

and after approaching them in private,
apparently we got their blessing for it.

This is no good.

In this picture,
both of the characters are smiling.

But Phoenice, the heroine of Wyvern,
is generally a cool, mysterious character.

She rarely ever smiled in the story.

Even if it's just a PSA poster, we can't
just disrespect the material source!

If we're doing it, we'll need the
supervision of the author, Suguruno-sensei,

or we'll face troubles later on!

And we must never forget
to respect the source material!

These kinds of plans that irresponsibly
rely on anime tend to flop because...

H-he knows so much about this!

H-he knows so much about this!
(Clocking Out)

(Clocking Out)

(Clocking Out)
That's another day of work done.

(Verified)
That's another day of work done.

I don't ask for much,
and I do any task given to me.

I am happy with my life.

I won't make it!

And so, for some reason,
I am now in another world.

No matter who I am reincarnated as,

I intend to fulfill my duty
in that world.

However...

Good day to you, Principal.

Just what am I supposed to do here?

(From Bureaucrat to Villainess:
Dad's Been Reincarnated!)

(Episode 2: The Old Man Became a Wizard)
I was reincarnated as the villainess
for some reason,

but I have managed to adapt
to this otome game world.

The biggest obstacle is that
I don't know much about otome games,

but this one thing is clear.

These men...

...are the romance options!

So dazzling!

We met before on the day of
the entrance ceremony, didn't we, Anna?

Y-yes!

This is our academy's
school council room.

Let me introduce myself again.

I am Virgile Vierge,
the student council president.

He is Auguste Lion,
the head of the security department.

Yo.

Richard Verseau, the vice president.

Pierre Gemeaux, the secretary.

Nice to meet you.

Everyone here is in their second year.

I'll introduce the other members
at another time.

Ah, yes. I see.

I remember these faces.

I remember these faces.
(Magical Academy: Love & Beast)

(Magical Academy: Love & Beast)

(Magical Academy: Love & Beast)
They're on the cover of
Magical Academy: Love & Beast.

So, the goal of this game
is to have Anna, the protagonist,

enter a romantic relationship
with one of these romance options.

Which means...

the role of the villainess,
Grace, is to interfere with that.

Now to the main point.

Grace Auvergne. Anna Doll.

I would like you two
to join our student council.

- Huh?! You really want me
in the student council?!

- Now then, how do I exactly
interfere with their romance?
- Huh?! You really want me
in the student council?!

- Now then, how do I exactly
interfere with their romance?
- That is correct.

- I have absolutely no idea. That is not good.
- You really, really want me?

- I have absolutely no idea. That is not good.
- That is correct.

Just a moment!
This is a school for nobles, right?

Is it really okay for a commoner
like me to join the student council?

...That was the case,
but what do you think, Grace?

Ah, well...

According to Grace's knowledge...

I heard that the student council members
are chosen by the president

based on their academic performances
and family background.

Anna may be a commoner, but she had
the highest score on the entrance exam

If anything, the fact that a commoner
managed to obtain the highest score

is simply proof of
her exceptional abilities.

It's no wonder Your Highness
would want her in the student council.

Huh... I'm surprised, Grace.

I was sure you'd say,

"It would be a disgrace to the school to
allow a commoner in the student council!"

Or something like that.

That's what I was supposed to say?!

(Never crossed his mind)
That's what I was supposed to say?!

I accidentally gave
an objective evaluation
(Never crossed his mind)

like the ones for a subordinate
performance review!
(Never crossed his mind)

Anna, stop giving me that "So you mean it
when you called me a friend" look!

Calm down now.
I am Grace Auvergne, the villainess.

If I'm a true villainess,

I won't be satisfied with just keeping
the heroine away from the romance options.

Yes, it's all still part of the plan!

Then, to make this work...

(Scenario planning)

(Scenario planning)
Let me tell you one thing, Anna.

(Scenario planning)

(Scenario planning)
If you were to join this student council,

you'd have to learn about a noble's
manners and etiquette...

(Scenario planning)

There are an abundance of
things you have to learn!

And I shall drill every
single one of them into you!

Are you prepared?!

All right, that's it!
It's the perfect oppressive attitude!

Hold that feeling! Hold it, me!

Anna, if you were
to join this student council,

you'd have to learn about a noble's manners
and etiquette among many other things.

O-oppressive... Be oppressive...

And I...

...shall thoroughly impart
all of this knowledge onto you.

Are you prepared?

Wait, I'm bad at this.

W-well, in that case...

I will do my best
in the student council!

Great.

If that's what Grace wishes to do,
then I have nothing to worry about.

I've changed my opinion of you, Grace.

You really have grown up,
haven't you?

That was quite impressive,
Miss Grace.

N-no, I only did what
a daughter of the Duke would do...

I'll go ahead and start the paperwork.

Starting next week, you'll be
members of the student council.

I'm counting on you.

Ah, it feels like I'm in a dream.

This is reality, Anna.
Stay focused.

Y-you're right!

I will do my best!

Well, I'd say that's good
enough for today.

If I'm together with Anna
in the student council,

I'll immediately know which
romance option route she will take.

Will it be Prince Virgille?

The lean macho security handsome man?

The quiet, long-haired handsome man?

The diligent, black-haired handsome man?

What were their names again?

Kenzaburo could not remember all those
fancy foreign names all at once.

Now then, everyone.

Today we will start practical
magic class using magic circles.

This courtyard is surrounded by a barrier,
so the magic will not leave this area.

Download the basic magic circle
with your magic wand.

Then write your incantations inside it
using the ancient magical alphabet.

"Light", "Particle", "Dance"!

Now, we will use the ancient
magical alphabet in the textbook...

Ma'am!

Why can't we write the commands
with regular letters?

It's tough to memorize
all the magic alphabets from scratch.

That is a good question.

If you write it in regular letters,
then those who see it,

especially those who are not magic users,
can understand the meaning.

(I understand)
especially those who are not magic users,
can understand the meaning.

Then the thoughts of those who don't
have magic powers will be mixed in
(I understand)

Then the thoughts of those who don't
have magic powers will be mixed in

and dispersing the power of the spell.

So that means you need to use words
that only magic users understand?

If so, can't we just make up our own
symbols that only we can understand?

That is also a good question.

We use words in our spells
and magic circles

because we want to use the
"Power of words" contained within them.

The "Power of words" is sacred magic
that dwells in words themselves.

However, for words to contain them,
those words must have a history,

as in, they must be used
by many people for many generations.

That's why, the ideal words for magic

must be ones that were once used,
but are no longer used today.

In other words,
the ancient magical alphabet.

I see. I understand now!

All right, let us start now.

Now hang on.

Speaking of words that have
history but aren't used here...

(Fire)

(Fire)
"Fire".

Then add another "Fire".

(Flame)
Then add another "Fire".

(Flame)

That's amazing, Miss Grace!

What was that?!

Was that the Duke's
secret alphabet or something?!

What was so great about that?

I've been studying magic circles
with a tutor, you know?

Just you watch.

Appear.

Magic Circle!

As expected of Anna.

Her magic circle glows so much brighter.
It shows how much latent magic she has.

Is that a golem?!

Oh no! Tucci gave too much magic
to the golem and passed out!

The golem is heading this way.
Is it attracted to Anna's magic?!

Anna, erase the magic circle!
We have to run!

Huh?! What?!
Uh, how do I do that?!

So magic circles won't disappear
unless they use up all its power?!

Then there's no other choice!

I have to try!

Anna, I'm going to borrow
your magic circle!

Pause!

You will come to the teacher's room later!

Yes, Ma'am...

It stopped!

Amazing!

What kind of magic is that?

I was a bit worried
because I wrote it in a hurry...

I was a bit worried
because I wrote it in a hurry...
(Pauze)

(Pauze)

But it appears this world
still allows minor mistakes.
(Pauze)

It worked anyway, so it's fine!

(He took it as a win)

I'm Josette.

I'm a maid in training serving
the house of Duke Auvergne.

Recently, Miss Grace
has been acting weird!

M-Miss Grace, I brought
the book you asked for...

Thank you.
You can leave it over there.

Yes, Ma'am!

(Too slow! Undisciplined!)
I-I knew it, something's wrong!

People always say that Miss Grace looks
like an angel, but is a devil inside!

Normally I would get complaints and
nagging no matter what I do, but now...!

Miss Grace has gotten
a lot calmer these days.

Did something good happen to her?

Well, it would be great
if it were that simple.

You've heard about the calm
before the storm, right?

What do you mean?

What if she's already decided to fire us,

and she's just being nice
until the day she informs us?

Like how they fatten livestock
before selling them?

Exactly.

What?!

Before being sold like a livestock?!

I-If someone were to be sold,

then it's definitely me
because I'm the clumsiest!

I-I went and done it!

Josette!

Are you all right? Are you hurt?

S-She's so kind!

Then it must be happening now!

M-Miss Grace, please forgive me, but...

Please at least sell me where I can
continue working as a maid!

Even if you ate me,
I'm sure I won't taste good!

Based on the rumors spreading
between the maids lately,

(Tap, Tap)
Based on the rumors spreading
between the maids lately,

(Tap, Tap)
and from his experience as a father...

(Tap, Tap)

Grace (Kenzaburo)
managed to figure it out.

Josette, I don't know
what made you think that way,

but I would never
sell you off somewhere.

Don't worry.

What?!

People make mistakes,
no matter who they are.

Especially you who are still a trainee.

If I fire everyone who makes a mistake,
then nobody can become a proper maid.

So you're not going to sell me?

Of course not.

B-but are you sure that's okay?

I see.

Grace has always been
a strict master until now,

that's why the sudden kindness
confused her.

I shouldn't have done that.

That said, it's difficult for me
to be as strict as Grace.

What should I do?

If I can't be strict, then...

Josette.

I'm already feeling full.

Would you eat these cookies for me?

Then I will spoil her rotten!

W-what?!

Come, open your mouth.

(Hesitation, Doubt, Confusion,
Fear, Bewildered)

(Hesitation, Doubt, Confusion,
Fear, Bewildered)
I-is it really okay for me to eat it?

- But Miss Grace said it herself,
and it smells so delicious...

- Come on, take a bite.
- But Miss Grace said it herself,
and it smells so delicious...

- But Miss Grace said it herself,
and it smells so delicious...

- It's delicious, you know?

- You're so adorable, Josette.

and it smells so delicious...

- You're so adorable, Josette.
- It looks so delicious, it must be
the most delicious cookie in the country.

- It looks so delicious, it must be
the most delicious cookie in the country.

- Come on, it's okay.
- It looks so delicious, it must be
the most delicious cookie in the country.

- No, the most delicious
cookie in the world!
- Come on, it's okay.

- It's delicious, you know?
- No, the most delicious
cookie in the world!

- No, the most delicious
cookie in the world!

- Ah, cookie is the world.
Ah, what is cookie again?

- Yes, yes, that's good.
- Ah, cookie is the world.
Ah, what is cookie again?

- Go on, Josette.
- Ah, cookie is the world.
Ah, what is cookie again?

- Ah, cookie is the world.
Ah, what is cookie again?

(SWEET)

I felt like there was something
important happening,

but I don't think it matters anymore!

(Success)

Where are we going, Miss Grace?

I was wondering
if Meister Walz could fix this.

A Meister?

Perhaps you haven't met him yet, Josette.

Meister Walz is a dwarf.

He is the official
craftsman of our family.

How is it, Meister? Can you fix it?

Can I fix it, you ask?

I'm afraid you asked
the wrong question, Miss Grace.

When you ask a dwarf, you ask,
"How long will it take for you to fix it?"

And the answer is 30...

Sorry, 20 minutes.

You're right, that was rude of me.

Can you start right away, Meister?

Do you mind if I watch you fix it?
I won't get in your way.

Do as you please.

I get to see up close
the work of dwarves,

the finest artisan race
in all fantasy worlds.

What a great luck.

But to have such a detail on a part
obviously unrelated to the game's story.

Maybe this world is more than just
a part of an otome game.

How amazing!
Where did it even break before?

I can't tell!

Thank you, Meister.
That was excellent work.

Well, it's been a while
since I've seen you here,

so I got a little fired up.

Been a while?

You don't remember?

When you were little, you used
to come here all the time, Miss Grace.

You would watch me
work so enthusiastically.

Yes, I do recognize that memory.

When she was little, Grace liked to watch
craftsmen and gardeners work.

But when she started receiving
formal education as a lady,

she gradually stopped doing it
because it wasn't "Ladylike".

She grew strict with herself and others

and became difficult to deal with
even for the servants.

That was how
Grace the villainess came to be.

But the true nature of
Grace herself was more...

Miss... Miss?

Miss Grace?!

Umm, Miss Grace?

O-oh, right. I should be going soon.

Thank you for your help, Meister.

Can I...

Can I come and visit again?

What a strange question.

This is in the garden of your mansion.

You can come by whenever you want.

Thank you, Meister.
Good day to you.
