Drake

Hehe.

Heheh.

Mwahahaha!

It's been ages since I've gone out and committed some villainy...!

Hmm?

Did I just hear something fall?

Oh no!

My precious Terrifier!

You're not hurt, are you?!

Phew...

It looks like you're okay.

I should have known you'd be okay.

A villain of my choosing can withstand even the strongest impact.

...

Hmm. Okay!

Today, I'll follow in your evil footsteps.

After all, you're what made me want to become a villain in the first place.

Hehe.

Now then, let us go out and commit some villainy!

You! Prepare yourself!

It's time for some long-awaited villainous activity!

You know as well as I do that as a hero,

I've built a respectable reputation.

My plan all along was to then promptly declare that I was a villain!

That is why up until now, I have been donning the fictious mask of being a hero and building up my influence.

But now, I shall no longer be thought of as Drake the Hero!

My sterling and heroic reputation is more than sufficient now,

and so the time has come to turn traitor and become a villain!

Not only that, but when it comes to villainy, if you don't use it, you lose it.

Hey! Why aren't you responding?

Are you deaf?

Answer me!

I said it's time for some villainous activities!

Huh?

You can't say that.

Say you want to.

That's more like it!

Mwahahaha!

Ahem.

Before we get down to it,

I need to introduce the new member of the Villain Union.

Allow me to introduce you to...

Terrifier! The ultimate villain!

How dare you?!

Watch your mouth!

This isn't just any run-of-the-mill figurine.

Of all the vile anime villain characters out there,

she's the most heinous of them all.

Just like me.

In fact, this very character is responsible for creating me, Drake, the world's greatest villain!

A fine question.

Today, we'll reenact the evil deeds committed by Terrifier.

And we'll do it right here in the Ark!

Hehe, how thrilling!

Aren't you excited?

Why?

There's no cause for concern.

I knew you would say that, and you know why?

Because you're going to be accompanied by the two ultimate villains:

Drake and Terrifier.

Now, let's go!

Our first villainous act will take place here.

Precisely!

I'll leave profanity-laced notes for all the customers.

In the anime, Terrifier left notes cursing all the cafe's customers, causing all kinds of distress.

Ugh, no thanks.

Regular cafe owners get on my nerves. I can't deal with them.

In contrast, there are good people at the Maid Cafe.

A villain always derives more joy from tormenting good people.

Once, I even wore a maid outfit here to bolster my image as a hero.

Let's head inside!

Oh, I'm sorry, but we're currently... huh?

Master! And Miss Drake?

It's been a while! Good to see you again.

Hehe, it certainly has.

I hope you've been well.

They went out to buy ingredients for the next shift.

We're taking a break at the moment.

Dang it!

Fine, we might as well get going then.

No, stay and let me get you a drink.

It'd be rude of me to let you leave so quickly after coming all this way.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to offer you any desserts, though.

Sounds great! Bring out the drinks!

What kind of drink would you like?

As for me,

I want a glass of warm milk heated to exactly 140 degrees, blended together with plenty of chocolate and coconut, as well as a slightly lesser amount of whipped cream.

Once you've done that, sprinkle some cocoa powder on top of the whipped cream, and...

Er... I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I can make that for you. It sounds awfully complicated.

I don't believe we have all those ingredients right now either. I'm terribly sorry.

Fine. Just give me whatever.

Hehe, okay! I appreciate your understanding.

I'll be right back with your drinks.

Hehe.

What luck! This is perfect timing.

Perhaps we have Terrifier to thank for that.

Now then, shall we commence our villainous acts?

Watch closely, Terrifier, and witness my dastardly deviltry!

No way! These are top-tier curses!

People who come to the Maid Cafe looking for a good time will instead read these notes and instantly become upset.

The moment they set their eyes on my writing, they'll be overwhelmed with a sense of doom and gloom.

It will be a storm cloud forever floating above their heads.

They won't be able to stop thinking about it, and they'll be unable to sleep.

My goodness... Just imagining it gives me goosebumps.

Hey, why aren't you writing anything? Hurry and jot something down!

...

You've gone too far.

Take it back!

Mwahahaha! Finished!

The plan has been put into action!

What do you think, Terrifier? Have I made you proud?

Yes, yes,

the look on your face tells me that you are.

Mwahahaha!

Here's the drink that you ordered!

For Miss Drake, we have the chocolate shake, and for Master, we have the iced americano.

Oooh, looks delicious.

Delectable!

Thank you!

How much do I owe you?

Oh no, please. This one's on the house.

Don't try and fool me! There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. How much?

Honestly,

it's okay...

All right then. I've got a busy schedule, so I better get going.

Let's head out.

Master,

you should drink it all in gulp like Miss Drake.

All right! Feel free to stop by anytime.

Huh? Under the plates?

Hey! What are you standing around for? Come on!

Uh... okay!

Now that was satisfying!

Very satisfying indeed!

Thanks to Terrifier being by my side, our villainous acts are going smoothly.

I... I'm really ruthless, aren't I?

I might end up in hell at this rate.

Time for my second villainous act!

Of course! You're not a true villain if you don't mess with the police.

What was that?

Speak up! I can't hear you.

... Whatever.

What?! That's against the law!

You should know better than that.

No, what I'm going to do is break all the handcuffs lying around the station.

In the anime, there was an episode where Terrifier shattered all the handcuffs. Afterwards, the police couldn't use them when they needed them the most, and they were in a real bind.

I'm going to recreate that moment!

We've got to get them to leave the building.

Hehe, allow me to show you.

Let's go!

Hi, Commander! Hi, Drake!

They're out on patrol.

Yep!

So that yappy dog isn't here? It really is our lucky day.

??

I don't understand. We don't keep dogs at the Police Station.

Anyway, what brings you two to the station?

We're here to report something.

Oh? What is it?

We've received reports of a dangerous object in the park.

Oh my gosh! Is that really true?

This is serious!

I need to notify Poli and Quiry right away!

Hmm? Are you not going to handle it yourself?

Oh no, I can't do that. I have to guard the station.

I can't leave it unattended.

Don't worry about that. I'll cover for you.

Oh, certainly not! We can't do that.

Poli told me to

never, ever leave you alone in the station,

no matter what happened.

I've gotta contact Poli!

Darn. An unexpected obstacle.

Don't just stand there. Think of something to say to make her leave.

That way, I can break the handcuffs!

Are you part of the Villain Union or not?

Yes?

Hmm...

Of course I trust you, Commander!

It's just...

Erm...

I still can't.

As a police officer, it's my duty to guard the station! First, let me contact Poli!

...

No, this can't be!

My grand scheme is...

Huh?

*Gasp*!

Another report just came in about a dangerous object in the park!

!!

This is serious!

Poli and Quiry aren't answering their phones...

Hmm...

Hmmmm...

I have no choice!

Commander, I'm going to head out and confirm what's going on.

Can I leave Drake in your hands so she doesn't get up to any trouble in the station?

I think that'd be preferable to allowing a major incident to occur in the park.

Thank you!

I'll be back as soon as I can!

Mwahahaha!

Everything is going my way today.

And you're also becoming a reliable member of the Villain Union.

Good!

Now it's time to commit some heinous acts!

Check around for any pairs of handcuffs that you can find.

Why would I joke about something like this?

Hahaha!

Does it look like I care?

For a dyed-in-the-wool villain, this is child's play!

!!

Heh... hehe...

N-no problem!

A villain would never waver at...

...

Today's patrol went really smoothly, don't you think? Almost unusually so.

You're right, it has been quite calm... Commander?

Commander?! Hello!

What brings you to the station?

Drats!

She came bounding back fast. Must be because she's a dog.

I guess I have no choice.

Forgive me, Terrifier, but we're aborting this mission!

Drake?! *Grrrr*...  What are you doing here?!

I was guarding the station!

But now that you're back, I shall take my leave.

Huh? What's going on?

And where's Miranda?

Wait, you're right!

Commander, have you seen Miranda anywhere?

I specifically told her not to leave the station!

Wait... Poli, check your messages!  Miranda messaged you earlier!

Huh? You're right!

No? That's a relief! I was really worried, what with Drake being here and all.

Come now, Poli. Not even Drake can be that stupid.

Who would be so foolish as to try something inside a police station?

You'd be surprised. Occasionally, you do run into people who are that brash.

Okay!

Oh, by the way, what were you doing here in the first place, Commander?

... All right.

Our second deed failed because of interference!

Such a shame! But it's okay.

We still have plenty of time.

Pssh. So weak.

Terrifier has committed countless evil deeds, so there's still plenty of villainy to get up to.

Now, for the third task, let's head to the armory.

??

...

Welc... Old-Timer?

Oh my goodness!

Come on in, Old-Timer.

Are you looking to buy a toy?

Listen up, both of you!

Do you know how to fix figurines?

Figurines?

What kind is it?

This one.

Oh! This is Terrifier. ♡

!!

You know Terrifier?

Of course I know Terrifier.

Hehe, it's nice to meet someone familiar with history's greatest villain.

Greatest villain, you say?

Hmm... Doesn't look very villainous to me.

She's infamous for her terrifyingly wicked deeds!

Really? Did they rewrite her character or something?

Well, whatever!

I presume you want us to fix the neck?

Yes! Can you fix it?!

Hmm... I've only sold these. I've never fixed one before...

Ugh... How could this happen?!

This is my most cherished possession!

Would you like to buy a new one?

Absolutely not! It wouldn't be the same.

She... she has witnessed all my wicked ways through the years. Oh, the memories we have together!

Hmm, let me see.

This figurine is one solid piece.

As long as I'm able to reattach the neck part, I think it should be fine.

But with what? Glue, maybe?

No.

What if the neck were to break again?

We should secure it with something like a nail, so it never breaks again.

What?!

How could you be so cruel?! I forbid it!

Oh my gosh, Drake! You should see your face!

I'm only kidding, hehe. ♡

Anyway, I think I can fix it. I'll do my best.

... Really?

Really.

... Can I trust you?

Of course!

...

Don't you dare use any nails!

Such barbarism...

Don't you worry.

Wait here for a moment.

Mica, can you give me a hand?

You bet!

Oh, poor poor Terrifier.

Don't you worry your pretty little head. You'll be all fixed up soon!

Haha, you'd think she was talking to a friend going in for surgery.

Phew...

*Sigh*...

Stay still, will you?!

You're distracting me.

I'm pacing because I'm worried about Terrifier!

It's the first character that I truly felt was cool.

And to top it off, Terrifier's a villain! How could I not fall head over heels for a character like that?

...

Because it's cool.

Yes. That's all.

Sorry to keep you waiting!

!!

How did you do that?!

I modified the neck so that it's detachable.

I've broken a bunch of toys playing pranks on Mica,

so we have plenty of spare toy parts lying around the store.

Hey!

Okay, fine. I admit it. Your skills are unparalleled.

Terrifier looks happier than ever.

...

I oughta take a photo to commemorate this moment.

Terrifier is my most cherished possession, but I only now realized I don't have a single photo with her!

This could go on to be a historic photo.

A meeting of the two greatest villains history has ever known.

All right, follow me!

I need someone to take the photo.

Don't mention it.

It's the least we could do.

By the way, Old-Timer, I don't know if you're aware of this,

but that character that Drake believes is a villain, Terrifier?

She's actually not a villain at all.

What? Really?

That's right.

It seems Drake only watched the early part of the anime.

In the beginning, Terrifier is portrayed as a prominent villain.

But as the story progresses, it explains why Terrifier had no choice but to do the things she did.

In the final part, she ends up sacrificing her own life in order to save the lives of others.

Her lasting legacy is that of a hero.

I didn't want to spoil the illusion for her.

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

Hey, what are you doing in there? Hurry up and get over here!

Terrifier and I haven't got all day.

Anyways, it was something I figured you should know.

You ought to hurry. Don't want to keep Drake waiting.

Take care, Old-Timer!

This is a great spot for the photo!

Take a photo of Terrifier and me right here.

It's our first picture together, so be sure to make it nice.

Today's Villain Union activities end here.

Terrifier might break again, so I'll take her back to the dorm.

Also, I'm satisfied with how our belated Villain Union activities have gone.

It's all because I emulated Terrifier's evil deeds.

Mwahahaha!

Tsk. fine.

Terrifier,

since we're villains, shouldn't we act tougher?

Mwahahaha!

Hey, why do you look so out of it?

Really? Did it make the news or something?

I see!

As expected, Terrifier's dastardly deeds work everywhere.

That's why she's the top villain!

Yep! Got it!

Hehe.

How's this?

Before we take the photo,

can I ask you one favor?

When you take the picture, rather than say one, two, three,

can you shout,

"Drake, the greatest villain of all!

Long live Drake the villain!"

Because it sounds cool.

Working together with you in the Villain Union is always a good time!

Hey, what did I just say?!

Mwahahaha!

Mwahahaha! *Cough cough*

Ha—*Cough* Haha—*Cough cough*

Mwahahaha!
