An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride
Zagan might be the most feared evil sorcerer, but when it comes to social interactions, he’s the most inept. All those days studying the dark arts won’t help him when he falls in love at first sight with Nephelia, the beautiful elven slave, and spends his entire fortune to purchase her. With no clue how to talk to each other, the awkward arrangement for a bumbling sorcerer and timid elf begins.

[00:03] Narrator
In the deep, deep forest
known as the Lost Woods,
[00:08] Narrator
a man has taken up residence
in a deserted, decaying castle.
[00:15] Narrator
He is a sorcerer, feared and
hated by the populace at large...
[00:22] Narrator
His name is Zagan.
[00:25] Narrator
And right now, he is
facing a grave challenge.
[00:30] Nephy
Master...
[00:32] Narrator
is it all right if I ask a question?
[00:35] Zagan
What is it?
[00:36] Nephy
How exactly...
[00:38] Nephy
am I going to be killed?
[00:45] Zagan
Hey... hang on a sec!
[00:47] Zagan
Why are you assuming I'm going to kill you?!
[00:49] Zagan
And what exactly am I supposed to do?!
[00:53] Zagan
H-How do you talk to a girl that you like?

[02:35] Narrator
Our story begins the previous morning...
[02:41] Justille
Meyers!
[02:42] Justille
Why are you doing this?!
[02:47] Justille
No!
[02:51] Justille
N-No, you're not Meyers... Who are you?!
[02:55] Justille
What did you do to Meyers?!
[03:01] Facestealer
That's a pretty tasty face
you're making there...
[03:05] Facestealer
And I hate to disappoint you,
[03:06] Facestealer
but this isn't the kind of
assault you're hoping for.
[03:11] Facestealer
See, the face off a living virgin
makes a hell of a catalyst...
[03:16] Justille
A sorcerer?!
[03:18] Facestealer
Don't die too easily, now!
[03:23] Justille
No!
[03:25] Facestealer
Relax! After I've got your face,
I'll treat your body real nice!
[03:32] Facestealer
H-Huh?
[03:34] Facestealer
Wh-Who the hell are you?!
[03:36] Zagan
You tell me first.
[03:38] Zagan
Do you realize this is someone's
yard you're shouting in?
[03:40] Zagan
I was trying to get some shut-eye,
but thanks to you, that's not happening.
[03:45] Facestealer
Shit, this must be his territory.
[03:48] Facestealer
H-Hang on!
[03:49] Facestealer
We're both sorcerers!
[03:51] Facestealer
Let me go and I'll share the
fruits of my research with you!
[03:54] Zagan
I don't need any sorcery that
requires flaying people.
[04:11] Zagan
I overdid it.
[04:13] Zagan
She's absolutely gonna be
traumatized when she wakes up.
[04:16] Zagan
G-Gotta keep my cool. I'm a sorcerer.
[04:20] Zagan
This'll be easy to fix.
[04:22] Zagan
Rewound Cycle.
[04:39] Zagan
All that really does is put
everything back where it was...
[04:43] Zagan
But since the blood is gone,
[04:45] Zagan
she'll probably think it was a dream.
[04:52] Zagan
A cross?
[04:54] Zagan
Is she with the Church?
[04:56] Zagan
The self-proclaimed apostles of
God. Enemies of all sorcerers.
[05:00] Zagan
I actually saved her,
[05:02] Zagan
but I'm likely to get
blamed for the attack.
[05:05] Zagan
Not that I really care.
[05:11] Zagan
If I drop her on the road to a town,
someone's bound to find her.
[05:19] Zagan
Something's interfering with
my translocation sorcery?
[05:21] Zagan
This is my territory.
I've got protective fields all around.
[05:25] Zagan
This isn't a trick that just
any sorcerer could pull.
[05:34] Zagan
I'd appreciate if you wouldn't muck around
with my casting circles, Barbatos.
[05:38] Barbatos
Hey, Zagan. You look like shit, as usual.
[05:43] Zagan
And so do you.
[05:46] Barbatos
So, what? Did I interrupt some kind of party?
[05:48] Zagan
Just teaching a lesson to a creep who
was making a fuss in my yard, that's all.
[05:52] Barbatos
A creep? Where do you get off, man?
[05:55] Barbatos
We're sorcerers. The only thing we
respect is our own pursuit of power.
[05:59] Barbatos
Other people's lives and
livelihoods are nothing but
[06:01] Barbatos
fuel for that, which we take,
if we feel like it.
[06:03] Barbatos
That's what it means to
be a sorcerer, right?
[06:08] Barbatos
Hey... this girl's got a
decent amount of mana.
[06:12] Barbatos
You gonna sacrifice her or something?
[06:14] Zagan
Sacrificial sorcery isn't my style.
[06:24] Barbatos
What a waste. You should've let me have
her if you weren't going to use her!
[06:29] Zagan
I'm going to bed. I was up
late reading sorcerous tomes.
[06:33] Zagan
If you need something, come back later.
[06:35] Barbatos
Come on, man. Don't be like
that after I came all this way!
[06:40] Barbatos
You could always just tweak your
brain with adrenaline to wake up.
[06:45] Zagan
That sort of thing is how you ended up
looking like such a mess yourself.
[06:48] Barbatos
Manipulating the body is
fundamental for sorcery!
[06:52] Barbatos
It keeps us healthy and long-lived.
[06:54] Barbatos
Even if it's got a limit of
about a thousand years.
[06:59] Barbatos
I've got some real interesting news, Zagan.
[07:03] Barbatos
Did you know one of the
Archdemons, Marchosias, is dead?
[07:11] Zagan
The Archdemons.
[07:12] Zagan
Earning that title gets you an
incredible amount of mana,
[07:15] Zagan
along with the authority to
command lower-ranked sorcerers.
[07:19] Zagan
They are the pinnacle of sorcery.
[07:21] Zagan
Of the 13 Archdemons,
[07:23] Zagan
the longest lived—who had been around for
a millennium—passed away the other day.
[07:30] Barbatos
See, now you're all curious, huh?
[07:33] Barbatos
But I thought you were
going to bed! What a shame!
[07:37] Zagan
If you're going to talk, then talk!
[07:40] Barbatos
All right, all right.
[07:42] Barbatos
There's apparently gonna be a huge auction
at Marchosias' territory, Kianoides.
[07:47] Barbatos
From legitimate merchandise to the kind of
thing you and I would be interested in.
[07:50] Zagan
Are you saying...
[07:51] Barbatos
I am!
[07:53] Barbatos
An Archdemon's legacy is
gonna be up for auction!
[08:04] Zagan
And I thought you actually had news for me.
[08:07] Zagan
But you just want to borrow money
for the auction, don't you?
[08:11] Zagan
I could just buy the legacy
for myself, y'know?
[08:14] Barbatos
Come on, man, no fair!
[08:16] Barbatos
I was the one who told you about it!
[08:18] Zagan
Well, you can ask someone else.
[08:20] Barbatos
You're the only sorcerer
I know who'd loan me any money!
[08:24] Barbatos
Come on, I'll help you pick out
some nice chicks in exchange!
[08:29] Zagan
Women, huh...
[08:31] Zagan
I'm kind of interested, but they seem
like more trouble than they'd be worth...
[08:40] Zagan
The guards seem weirdly on edge.
[08:42] Barbatos
Yeah, that'd be due to
the serial kidnappings.
[08:46] Barbatos
Some dumbasses have been snatching up
young women for sorcerous experiments.
[08:52] Zagan
Sounds like a risky proposition.
[08:55] Zagan
They're basically picking
a fight with the Church.
[08:57] Zagan
And for what?
[08:59] Barbatos
Couldn't tell you.
[09:00] Zagan
Maybe they're planning on
summoning something significant?
[09:03] Zagan
Like an actual demon.
[09:05] Zagan
Then again, that's like
something out of a fairy tale.
[09:11] Barbatos
Come to think of it, Zagan...
[09:13] Barbatos
Aren't you suspected of being
behind these kidnappings?
[09:17] Zagan
That's stupid.
[09:18] Zagan
How practical can sacrificial sorcery
really be, when you get down to it?
[09:24] Barbatos
True enough.
[09:25] Barbatos
And it's not like you have enough
friends to help you out, either!
[09:30] Zagan
I never really thought friends
were a necessity, anyway.
[09:55] Barbatos
Check it out, Zagan.
[09:57] Barbatos
We've got a regular bunch of celebrities.

Kimaris the Black Blade.

[10:08] Zagan
Second names... are something
like titles for sorcerers.
[10:14] Zagan
Are they strong?
[10:15] Barbatos
Oh, yeah.
[10:16] Barbatos
They're candidates to become the 13th
Archdemon now that old Marchosias is gone.
[10:21] Barbatos
Granted, so am I.
[10:23] Zagan
The next Archdemon...
[10:25] Zagan
Who makes that call?
[10:26] Barbatos
The surviving 12 apparently debate it.
[10:30] Gremory
Kimaris, look over there.
[10:34] Gremory
The sickly-looking guy who's loafing around...
[10:37] Gremory
What was his name again?
[10:39] Kimaris
I believe that is Barbatos the Purgatory.
[10:42] Gremory
And that sour-looking one
next to him is called Zagan.
[10:46] Gremory
He's young, and without a title,
[10:48] Gremory
but for some reason his name came up
among the Archdemon candidates.
[10:53] Announcer
Ladies and gentlemen,
[10:55] Announcer
who have finally come to our final,
and most remarkable lot for the auction!
[11:06] Announcer
This merchandise was previously scheduled
[11:09] Announcer
to come into the possession of
Archdemon Marchosias himself.
[11:13] Announcer
However, with Lord Marchosias'
passing, that deal fell through,
[11:19] Announcer
and it now is on us to see
that it finds a new owner!
[11:22] Barbatos
Wait, what about all his stuff?
[11:24] Zagan
This is probably a catalyst
that he had picked out.
[11:30] Announcer
A member of the legendary race
from the distant Norden holy land...
[11:35] Announcer
An elf!

How to Love Your Elf Bride
[11:51] Announcer
As you're all aware, elves are closer
to gods and nature spirits than humans!
[11:58] Announcer
And as you can see with this one,
she has striking white hair!
[12:01] Announcer
This isn't dyed, folks. You're looking at an
extremely rare, naturally platinum-locked elf!
[12:06] Announcer
Her magical properties
make her extremely valuable,
[12:09] Announcer
to say nothing of her worth as a love slave!
[12:12] Announcer
And if you can afford the price,
she's yours for doing with as you please!
[12:17] Announcer
Let's start the bidding at ten thousand—
[12:19] Zagan
One million!
[12:24] Barbatos
Uh, Zagan...
[12:26] Zagan
One million gold Kuriotes.
[12:30] Announcer
Thank you very much, sir!
[12:32] Announcer
What an amazing bid!
[12:34] Announcer
Do we have any others?
[12:34] Barbatos
Damn, Zagan! I know she's
an elf, but that's so much!
[12:38] Zagan
What is this feeling in my chest?
[12:41] Zagan
She's so lovely.
[12:42] Zagan
Is that the right way to express it?
[12:45] Zagan
I want to help her,
I want to see her smiling...
[12:49] Zagan
And I want to touch her.
[12:54] Zagan
It's like I've finally found something
I didn't know I was looking for.
[12:58] Barbatos
What the hell kinda sorcery
are you going to use her for?
[13:11] Announcer
Congratulations, sir!
[13:12] Announcer
The sorcerer Zagan has purchased
one white-haired elf!
[13:22] Zagan
What now? What do I say to her?
[13:26] Zagan
Is she okay? She's not under
some sorcery right now, is she?
[13:30] Announcer
Any problems, Mr. Zagan?
[13:33] Zagan
Uh, no!
[13:36] Zagan
What's this?
[13:37] Announcer
The collar must keep her mana contained.
[13:40] Announcer
She's likely to run off without it,
so please, be careful.
[13:44] Announcer
That said, none of us know
how to remove it, anyway.
[13:49] Zagan
Is she conscious?
[13:52] Announcer
Not to worry!
[13:54] Announcer
She's been preserved in
her natural state, sir!
[13:58] Announcer
To be honest, she's got
such incredible capacity,
[14:02] Announcer
ordinary sorcery hasn't proven effective.
[14:05] Zagan
I believe you.
[14:07] Zagan
First, I'd like to talk with her.
[14:10] Zagan
I can't wait to hear the
sweet sounds she makes!
[14:21] Zagan
Huh?
[14:22] Zagan
Did that come out weird?
[14:25] Narrator
This is what happens when someone who thought
women were too much trouble just moments ago
[14:31] Narrator
falls in love for the first time in his life.
[14:42] Zagan
Well, I've brought her home, but...
[14:47] Zagan
I should've asked Barbatos about this.
[14:50] Zagan
What am I supposed to say to her?
[14:53] Zagan
But I have to say something eventually.
[14:59] Zagan
"The sky is beautiful today."
[15:02] Zagan
No, come on. Even I can do better than that.
[15:05] Zagan
Besides, we can't see the sky in here,
and the weather is awful!
[15:09] Zagan
"What do you think of the castle?"
[15:13] Zagan
Get a grip, man!
[15:16] Zagan
"It's like execution grounds, or maybe hell"
is all I can think she'd say!
[15:21] Zagan
Not to mention...
[15:22] Zagan
Why didn't I clean up
before bringing her home?!
[15:26] Nephy
Master...
[15:28] Nephy
Is it all right if I ask a question?
[15:31] Zagan
She talked!
[15:32] Zagan
She's got a sweet voice
like the ringing of a bell.
[15:36] Zagan
What is it?
[15:38] Zagan
Why'd I say it like that?!
[15:40] Zagan
I sounded completely annoyed just now!
[15:43] Nephy
How exactly...
[15:44] Nephy
am I going to be killed?
[15:57] Nephy
If I know beforehand, I believe
I'll be able to better prepare myself...
[16:02] Zagan
Wait, wait, wait!
[16:04] Zagan
I'm not going to kill you!
[16:05] Zagan
If anything, I need you alive!
[16:08] Nephy
Then...
[16:09] Nephy
I should be expecting something
worse than death, with no release?
[16:15] Zagan
You've got it wrong!
[16:17] Zagan
All this stuff belonged to
the castle's previous owner!
[16:19] Zagan
I just never got rid of it because
it seemed like a lot of work!
[16:28] Zagan
My name is Zagan.
[16:29] Zagan
As you can tell, I'm a sorcerer,
but I have no interest in torture.
[16:33] Zagan
Now, then...
[16:39] Zagan
So...
[16:40] Zagan
This is ridiculous!
[16:41] Zagan
Why am I having so much trouble
just asking for her name?!
[16:48] Nephy
I apologize.
[16:50] Nephy
My name is Nephelia.
[16:53] Zagan
Nephelia...
[16:55] Zagan
What a beautiful name.
[16:57] Zagan
Nephelia... what, exactly?
What is your family name?
[17:00] Nephy
I have none.
[17:02] Nephy
If you find it distasteful,
please, just call me Nephy.
[17:06] Zagan
Can I?!
[17:07] Nephy
Yes...
[17:08] Zagan
Not only is her name beautiful,
she's got a cute nickname like Nephy!
[17:13] Zagan
Is it common for elves
not to have a family name?
[17:18] Nephy
No...
[17:19] Nephy
I just happen to be a cursed child.
[17:24] Zagan
A cursed child?
[17:25] Nephy
Excuse me... but, why are you asking?
[17:29] Zagan
Well...
[17:32] Nephy
You don't need to worry.
[17:35] Nephy
I'm a virgin.
[17:37] Zagan
Y-You...
[17:39] Zagan
Do you realize what you're talking about?!
[17:43] Nephy
I thought you were concerned about my
value as a subject for your experiments.
[17:48] Zagan
Don't misunderstand me!
[17:49] Zagan
I have no intention of experimenting on you.
[17:52] Nephy
Why did you buy me, then?
[17:58] Zagan
You don't need to know that.
[18:01] Zagan
What am I even saying?!
[18:03] Zagan
But "I fell head over heels for
you at an underground auction"
[18:06] Zagan
"and spent my entire fortune buying you"
[18:08] Zagan
obviously makes me sound
like some kind of pervert.
[18:10] Zagan
And if we're going to be living
together in the future,
[18:12] Zagan
I couldn't bear her looking
at me like that...
[18:16] Zagan
Living together?!
[18:18] Zagan
I'm going to be under the same
roof as this adorable girl?!
[18:21] Zagan
I need to calm down. I'm a sorcerer.
[18:24] Zagan
A powerful sorcerer should
always maintain his composure.
[18:30] Zagan
Nephy, for now, I'm going
to provide you with a room.
[18:34] Zagan
Pick out whichever you would like.
[18:36] Nephy
Are you asking me to choose where I'll die?
[18:39] Zagan
I told you, I'm not going to kill you!
[18:41] Nephy
I just don't understand why you wouldn't...
[18:46] Nephy
Are you saying that I'm
not going to be killed,
[18:48] Nephy
no matter what purpose you have for me?
[18:51] Zagan
I get it.
[18:53] Zagan
Of course...
[18:55] Zagan
She was caught and sold off as a slave.
[18:58] Zagan
She was probably told that she was going to be
a test subject or a sacrifice this entire time.
[19:04] Zagan
I don't know what this
"cursed child" business is,
[19:06] Zagan
and she doesn't seem to
want to talk about it,
[19:09] Zagan
so she probably doesn't
have a home to return to.
[19:11] Zagan
It was the same for me.
[19:14] Zagan
Not only did I not have a family name,
[19:16] Zagan
I don't even remember my parents.
[19:18] Zagan
The first thing I do remember
is living in the trash...
[19:23] Zagan
And being called by the name Zagan.
[19:31] Zagan
I bought you because I need you.
[19:34] Zagan
So, no more of this dying talk.
[19:36] Nephy
Need... me?
[19:38] Nephy
You mean that?
[19:40] Zagan
Yes. So for now, you'll live for my sake.
[19:50] Nephy
Yes.
[19:58] Zagan
Now, about your room...
[20:01] Zagan
What would be good?
[20:02] Zagan
Maybe someplace with a view...
[20:05] Zagan
Do you mind heights?
[20:06] Nephy
No.
[20:08] Nephy
Feel free to hang me by the
neck or the wrists as you like.
[20:11] Zagan
I'm not talking about torture!
[20:14] Nephy
Forgive me.
[20:15] Nephy
I couldn't think of anything else
when you mentioned heights.
[20:19] Zagan
Please, scrounge up a little more hope.
[20:33] Zagan
Be careful. Watch where you're walking.
[20:36] Nephy
R-Right.
[20:41] Zagan
Huh... Am I holding hands
with Nephy right now?
[20:47] Zagan
But it'd be weird to let go.
[20:49] Zagan
They're so soft, and warm...
[20:55] Zagan
This room isn't usually in use.
[20:58] Zagan
It might not be very tidy, but...
[21:07] Nephy
You may take my head as
it pleases you, Master.
[21:09] Zagan
Seriously, stop!
[21:11] Zagan
This is, you know...
[21:13] Zagan
A trap to protect the castle
from airborne enemies!
[21:18] Zagan
Even I have trouble buying that.
[21:20] Zagan
However, I can see how it'd be in the way.
[21:24] Zagan
Let me dispose of it.
[21:37] Zagan
I have my doubts about it's
function as a room, but...
[21:40] Zagan
At least she's got nothing
to be afraid of.
[21:44] Nephy
I've never seen such
destructive sorcery before.
[21:48] Zagan
Okay, so maybe blasting away with attack
sorcery out of the blue is intimidating!
[21:51] Zagan
This is what happens when the only
person I ever talk to is Barbatos!
[21:56] Zagan
This won't do after all. It's too dreary.
[21:59] Nephy
Is that really the word for it?

You like the moon?
[22:20] Nephy
I don't know.
[22:29] Zagan
I don't think we can reach it.
[22:31] Nephy
That makes sense.
[22:38] Nephy
U-Um...
[22:41] Nephy
Is it all right if I stay in this room?
[22:47] Zagan
You don't mind all of... this, then?
[22:49] Nephy
No.
[22:52] Nephy
Because it's the room you
prepared for me, Master.
[22:56] Zagan
F-Fine, then. Use it how you see fit.
[22:59] Nephy
Thank you.
[23:04] Nephy
Is something wrong?
[23:06] Zagan
No...
[23:08] Zagan
It's just been a long time since
anyone thanked me for anything.
[23:13] Nephy
I think it's been a long time
since I've given thanks, too.
[23:17] Zagan
I see.
[23:18] Nephy
Yes...

[00:12] Zagan
I didn't get a wink of sleep.
[00:16] Zagan
That room was in no state for it,
so I had her sleep in here, but...
[00:22] Zagan
Seeing her look so helpless...
[00:25] Zagan
It'd be impossible for
my imagination not to run wild!
SIGN Zzz...
[00:28] Zagan
Not that I have the guts
to actually try something.
[00:31] Zagan
The thought of upsetting her
makes that out of the question.
SIGN Grrrr
[00:36] Zagan
Guess I'll grab something to eat.
[00:55] Zagan
You're awake.
[00:59] Nephy
Yes. Good morning, Master.
[01:04] Zagan
She's willing to greet me.
[01:08] Zagan
Wait.
[01:09] Zagan
What are you supposed to say
when someone says good morning?
[01:12] Zagan
Just say "good morning" back?
[01:14] Zagan
"Hello there"?
[01:15] Zagan
"Good day to you" is probably a bit much...
[01:23] Zagan
I brought food.
[01:25] Zagan
You may eat.
[01:26] Zagan
I can't even give a proper greeting?!

[03:10] Zagan
When did I become such a failure of a person?
[03:14] Zagan
Probably right from the start.
[03:16] Nephy
Um... Master, are you eating
the same thing as me?
[03:21] Zagan
Is that strange?
[03:23] Nephy
No... it's just...
[03:25] Nephy
I'm lucky to be fed at all.
[03:28] Nephy
But it's strange that you're
eating the same thing.
[03:34] Zagan
Wait...
[03:35] Zagan
Is the food too plain?!
SIGN Today's breakfast:
Jerky & Milk
[03:38] Nephy
Well... yes.
[03:40] Nephy
It's the kind of thing that would be
typically fed to a slave like myself.
[03:43] Zagan
So it's less food and more like...
SIGN Feed
[03:47] Zagan
Feed?
[03:49] Zagan
That said, she seems more worried than angry.
[03:54] Zagan
Wait, no! That look says...

"If I don't do something about
this guy, he's going to die!"

Munch
[04:10] Zagan

Munch
[04:18] Zagan
There's something nostalgic
about that sour taste.
[04:22] Zagan
I wonder what normal people eat.
[04:27] Nephy
This might be presumptuous,
but should I prepare something?!
SIGN Twitch
[04:35] Zagan
You can cook?
[04:37] Nephy
It's mostly just imitation, but...
[04:39] Zagan
Home cooking?!
[04:43] Zagan
My dedication to sorcery has kept me
from even considering the possibility...
[04:47] Zagan
And now the girl I'm in love with
is going to cook for me?!
[04:53] Zagan
Nephy! It seems our task is clear.
[04:57] Nephy
Right.
[04:59] Zagan
We're going grocery shopping in town!
[05:03] Driver
Need a ride?
[05:04] Driver
The price for the two of you
will be three bronze pieces.
[05:07] Zagan
Oh, right. I have no money!
[05:11] (Flashback) Zagan
One million!
[05:12] (Flashback) Zagan
One million gold Kuriotes.
[05:15] Zagan
One million... One million...
[05:19] Zagan
Walking every now and then isn't so bad.
[05:22] Nephy
It's not?
[05:28] Zagan
I need to shore up my finances somehow.
[05:31] Zagan
I don't have a single bronze
coin left at the castle.
[05:34] Zagan
I might be able to sell the torture
equipment that's left there, but...
[05:37] Zagan
I don't have the money to
hire someone to pack it up!
[05:40] Zagan
Should I have mugged the coach driver?
[05:47] Zagan
No! There's no telling what she'd think of
someone who'd resort to that.

I get the feeling it'd be bad!

Leave your goods behind!
[06:07] Passenger C
No!
[06:09] Nephy
Master!
[06:11] Zagan
Oh, must be a robbery or something.
[06:15] Zagan
They're not sorcerers or anything.
Just a band of harmless robbers.
[06:25] Zagan
What's wrong?
[06:27] Nephy
Nothing...
[06:30] Zagan
Wait...
[06:32] Zagan
Was this how Nephy was kidnapped, too?!
[06:37] Zagan
Nephy, watch closely.
[06:42] Zagan
It's like brushing some dust away.
[06:44] Robber B
A sorcerer!
[06:46] Robber C
A sorcerer?! Why?!
[06:48] Robber Leader
Settle down! Sorcerers need to rest
before casting another spell!
[06:52] Robber Leader
Get him before he does!
[06:55] Zagan
Nephy, stay behind me.
[06:59] Zagan
I'm not going to say anything as
self-serving as "I'm going to protect you."
[07:03] Zagan
But I'll demonstrate that you have
nothing to fear from them.
[07:07] Robber A
Die!
[07:11] Robber A
I-It can't be!
[07:13] Zagan
Yeah, I can't believe you'd try and take
on a sorcerer with brute strength, either.
[07:24] Robber B
Boss!
[07:26] Robber B
Sir! Sir, you've gotta help us!
[07:30] Hired Sorc.
A sorcerer, helping others...
[07:33] Hired Sorc.
What an odd sight.
[07:35] Zagan
I take it they hired you?
[07:37] Hired Sorc.
It's part of our arrangement.
[07:39] Hired Sorc.
I don't know who you are,
but you'll regret crossing my path.
[07:53] Zagan
I see. Using the flames to
trace another casting circle...
[07:58] Zagan
I don't really see any reason
to sit back and wait, though.
[08:03] Hired Sorc.
Not bad! But a step too slow!
[08:06] Hired Sorc.
Now, turn to cinders!
[08:13] Hired Sorc.
Wh-What the?! Why can't I cast the spell?!
[08:17] Zagan
I've usurped control of your casting circle.
[08:21] Zagan
It no longer belongs to you.
[08:34] Zagan
What's wrong? Come at me.
[08:37] Zagan
If you were willing to steal from others,
you must be ready to be stolen from.
[08:50] Zagan
Huh? Did I mess up again?
[08:54] Zagan
Now, as you can see, Nephy,
robbers like that are as harmless as dust.
[09:00] Zagan
Brush them aside, and they'll settle down.
[09:02] Nephy
Are they really harmless,
considering they attacked the coach?
[09:12] Traveller A
Well, damn, Mister Sorcerer! You saved us!
[09:15] Traveller B
I guess there are good sorcerers, too!
[09:17] Driver
Listen, Mister, would it be okay
if you rode with us for protection?
[09:23] Driver
I'll be sure to pay you.
[09:25] Zagan
S-Sure.
[09:28] Zagan
What is happening?
[09:29] Zagan
Does money really come along this easily?
[09:33] Zagan
If I go around running off bad guys,
people will just pay me for it?
[09:39] Zagan
Wait, no. Sorcerers are usually the
bad guys who are being hunted.
[09:43] Zagan
That means me.
[09:45] Zagan
Still, I've scattered my fair
share of annoying robbers,
[09:50] Zagan
but I've never been thanked for it before.
[09:54] Traveller A
You work for him, right?
What a beautiful gal!
[09:57] Traveller C
You have a wonderful master.
[09:59] Zagan
Are they unafraid because Nephy is with me?
[10:04] Nephy
Master...
[10:06] Zagan
What is it?
[10:07] Nephy
Why did you save these people?
[10:11] Zagan
Well, I guess that was an
unintended consequence.
[10:14] Zagan
I just wanted to show that you had
nothing to fear from those robbers.
[10:20] Zagan
But maybe this is my
chance to catch her eye?!
[10:24] Zagan
If I can say something smooth
that'll get her to open up...
SIGN I did it to protect you, Nephy.
SIGN I can't abandon the weak when they're in need.
[10:30] Zagan
All I did was teach some self-important
filth their place in the world.
[10:40] Zagan
Seriously, why do I always
say stuff like that?
SIGN An Archdemon's Dilemma:

[10:56] Zagan
Now, we're here for groceries,
[11:00] Zagan
but first let's take care of any
daily necessities Nephy might need.
[11:04] Zagan
What exactly does a girl need, anyway?
[11:08] Zagan
Nephy. Pick out anything you need.
[11:11] Nephy
I'll be satisfied with any old thing
you might have laying around.
SIGN Fin
[11:16] Zagan
That makes sense.
[11:18] Zagan
A girl who doubts her own survival
[11:20] Zagan

[11:30] Manuela
Welcome!
[11:32] Manuela
What manner of clothing can
I help you with, Mister Sorcerer?
[11:37] Zagan
She's clearly not happy to see me.
[11:40] Zagan
Put together some kind
of outfit for this girl.
[11:44] Manuela
What a beautiful girl!
[11:53] Manuela
In that case, leave it to Manuela!
[11:56] Manuela
One customer, coming through!
[11:58] Nephy
Master!
[11:59] Manuela
Hurry along, now!
[12:02] Zagan
That collar really does attract attention.
[12:05] (Flashback) Announcer
The collar must keep her mana contained.
[12:08] (Flashback) Announcer
She's likely to run off without it,
so please, be careful.
[12:16] Manuela
How does this ensemble strike you?
[12:19] Zagan
Right...
[12:20] Zagan
Wha—
[12:29] Manuela
What do you think?! I don't mind
saying I think it's perfect!
[12:32] Zagan
How, exactly?!
[12:33] Zagan
How did you go from
"some kind of outfit" to all this?!
[12:37] Manuela
I was trying to cater to your tastes, sir.
[12:41] Zagan
Who exactly does she think I am?!
[12:46] Nephy
P-Please... don't look at me...
[12:50] Zagan
Some normal clothing, please!
[12:52] Manuela
But it suits her so well.
[12:55] Manuela
In that case, let's try the next one!
[12:57] Zagan
And drop that thing in your hands!
[13:01] Manuela
Just a little joke, that's all!
[13:09] Manuela
Now, what do you think of this one?
[13:12] Manuela
It's an orthodox maid outfit,
[13:14] Manuela
but the dress and apron are
both made of high quality silk.
[13:18] Manuela
The boots have healing
sorcery applied to them,
[13:20] Manuela
which limits the amount of exhaustion
caused from working on your feet.
[13:25] Zagan
What do you think, Nephy?
[13:26] Nephy
I'll accept whatever's offered.
[13:29] Zagan
If you keep that up, she's likely to put
you in another getup like that one before.
SIGN Glint
[13:33] Manuela
Glint!
[13:34] Nephy
I like this outfit, Master!
[13:36] Manuela
Thanks for shopping with us!
[13:44] Manuela
It's great that you have a
master who cares for you.
[13:49] Nephy
He... cares for me?
[13:56] Zagan
Nephy, we'll go into that shop next.
[13:58] Zagan
O-Okay.
[14:00] Smith
H-How might be of service, Mister Sorcerer?
[14:04] Zagan
There's something I want
you to take a look at.
[14:07] Zagan
Do you know how to remove this collar?
[14:10] Nephy
But...
[14:12] Zagan
As long as you wear it, it's like you're
still Archdemon Marchosias' property.
[14:17] Zagan
You don't need it anymore.
[14:20] Nephy
Right.
[14:22] Zagan
Indeed.
[14:23] Zagan
"Indeed," my ass!
[14:25] Zagan
I talked about her like she
was an object again.
SIGN Sulk
[14:30] Smith
Mister Sorcerer, this thing's ensorcelled!
[14:34] Smith
That's too much for folks like us!
[14:37] Smith
And I hate to break it to you, but...
[14:41] Smith
I'm pretty sure the collar's trapped!
[14:44] Smith
If you don't remove it the right way,
it might take her head off.
[14:47] Zagan
That rules out removing it by force.
[14:50] Smith
Using the original key would be best.
[14:54] Zagan
No one at the auction had a key.
[14:58] Zagan
It's likely somewhere inside
of Marchosias' castle.
[15:02] Zagan
I appreciate it. You can have this.
[15:04] Smith
C'mon, sir, I haven't done
anything to earn that!
[15:07] Smith
Not to mention, I couldn't
accept payment from you!
[15:13] Smith
You saved me, once before.
[15:17] Smith
It was about a year ago...
[15:20] Smith
When my coach was under attack,
you saved my daughter and me.
[15:25] Smith
We ran off because we were scared,
[15:28] Smith
but you were nice enough to let us go.
[15:32] Smith
I hope you can forgive us!
[15:34] Zagan
Out of the countless pests I've swatted,
[15:37] Zagan
some of them must've been
attacking this blacksmith.
[15:40] Zagan
I'll take this back, then, but you don't
need to worry about that meaningless act.
[15:44] Zagan
I don't even remember it.
[15:46] Smith
Well, I'll never forget!
[15:48] Smith
If you ever need anything,
by all means, let me know!
[15:53] Zagan
What's going on today?!
[15:55] Zagan
People are being so friendly
it's creeping me out!
[15:59] Zagan
Having Nephy around makes
this big a difference?!
[16:03] Smith
He was too scary to even speak to before.
[16:07] Smith
But look at him now.
[16:16] Zagan
The sun's already setting.
[16:18] Zagan
I shouldn't make Nephy cook
after getting home so late.
[16:30] Nephy
Um...
[16:33] Nephy
Master, do you intend to remove this collar?
[16:37] Zagan
That's the plan.
[16:39] Nephy
Do you not think I'll run away once it's gone?
[16:44] Zagan
Well... the idea doesn't thrill me.
[16:47] Zagan
And it's pretty likely to happen.
[16:50] Zagan
Nephy has no reason to be
invested in me as I am in her.
[16:54] Zagan
But even then...
Even if it means she might run...
[16:59] Zagan
It's not as if I can take
it off right now, anyway.
[17:01] Zagan
I wouldn't get your hopes up.
[17:03] Zagan
Why couldn't I just say,
"But I still want to take it off you"?!
[17:08] Nephy
Right.
[17:12] Zagan
Maybe there's a sorcerous tome with
lessons on how to talk to girls.
SIGN Stare
[17:18] Zagan
What's wrong? Do you not know
how to use a knife and fork?

[17:32] Zagan
Oh, I see.
[17:34] Zagan
I think I finally understand
what it is about Nephy
[17:37] Zagan
that grabbed my attention at a glance.
[17:39] Zagan
We're the same.
[17:41] Zagan
She's just like I was when I had no power,
[17:43] Zagan
despairing at a world
where I didn't belong...
[17:47] Zagan
Just start with whatever
you think looks best.
[17:50] Zagan
There's no one here you
need to show restraint for.
[17:54] Nephy
But...
[17:54] Zagan
Just eat. It should be much better
than the jerky from this morning.

seeing each other as master and
servant has helped things settle down.
[20:08] Chastille
That was no dream.
Unbelievably, a sorcerer saved my life.
[20:13] Chastille
We'd been exterminating wicked
sorcerers who target young women...
[20:17] Chastille
And were on the way home.
[20:19] Chastille
One of the Angelic Knights
suddenly attacked us.
[20:23] Chastille
But later, I learned it was really one of the
Facestealers, the very group we'd been after.
[20:30] Chastille
And that man... his name is Zagan.
[20:34] Chastille
He had a very cruel look to him.
[20:37] Chastille
But something about him
seemed... lonely, too.
[20:43] Clavwell
Lost in thought?
[20:45] Chastille
Lord Clavwell!
[20:47] Clavwell
There's no need for such formalities.
[20:50] Clavwell
You're the hero responsible for
getting rid of the sinners
[20:53] Clavwell
behind this string of kidnappings.
[20:56] Chastille
No... you entrusted me with Angelic Knights,
Your Lordship, of which I lost four.
[21:02] Clavwell
That's not your fault.
[21:04] Clavwell
And you returned after
avenging your brothers.
[21:08] Clavwell
You can be proud of that deed.
[21:11] Chastille
Yes, sir.
[21:12] Clavwell
But this incident... is not over yet.
[21:17] Clavwell
After scouring the sorcerer's lair,
[21:21] Clavwell
we've discovered another
culprit is behind it all.
[21:24] Clavwell
The sorcerer, Zagan.
[21:27] Clavwell
He's the one truly responsible
for these horrid kidnappings.
[21:31] Chastille
Wha...
[21:32] Chastille
Might this be some kind of mistake?
[21:35] Clavwell
Sorcerers are wicked.
[21:37] Clavwell
Even if he has no connection
to these kidnappings,
[21:40] Clavwell
he is still evil, and must face judgment.
[21:45] Chastille
Then, Your Lordship,
please task me with this duty.
[21:49] Clavwell
I'm pleased that you would volunteer!
[21:52] Clavwell
I leave it to you then,
[21:53] Clavwell
Maiden of the Sacred Sword,
Angelic Knight-Captain, Chastille Lillqvist!

The Quieter They Are, The Devastatingly
Scarier They Are When Mad
[02:26] Zagan
This dining hall used to
resemble a graveyard.
[02:29] Zagan
Did you clean it all?
[02:33] Zagan
Did we buy bread?
[02:35] Nephy
No, I baked some earlier.
[02:37] Zagan
What? By yourself?!
SIGN By yourself?!
[02:39] Nephy
Is that strange?
[02:40] Zagan
I don't know.
[02:42] Zagan
I've never personally encountered someone
who could make something so delicious before.
[02:47] Nephy
I see.
[02:52] Zagan
Does that mean she's happy?
[02:56] Zagan
Have you eaten already?
[02:58] Nephy
No.
[02:59] Zagan
They you should join me.
[03:01] Nephy
I've... only prepared
enough for you, Master.
[03:05] Zagan
Were you going to skip breakfast?
[03:07] Nephy
I forgot to prepare my own.
[03:09] Zagan
Have half of mine, then. Sit down already.
[03:13] Nephy
But... I've only prepared a
seat for you, Master...
[03:17] Zagan
Then you can sit here.
[03:24] Nephy
I wouldn't dare do something so rude!
[03:26] Zagan
Don't worry. I'm telling you it's fine.
[03:29] Zagan
Is there some reason
I'm refusing to just let it go?!
SIGN Gh...
[03:34] Nephy
As you wish, Master.
SIGN Plop
[03:37] Zagan
She actually did it!
[03:40] Zagan
Go on. Eat.
[03:42] Nephy
This is embarrassing, Master.
[03:45] Zagan
That much is obvious.
[03:47] Nephy
You're being mean, Master.
[03:51] Zagan
Then, next time, make sure
to prepare a seat for yourself.
[03:53] Nephy
Right.
[03:54] Zagan
Although, I wouldn't mind doing this again.
[03:56] Nephy
I'll prepare a seat next time.
[04:00] Nephy
Please, try some, Master.
[04:03] Zagan
Is she getting me back?!
[04:07] Zagan
It's warm.
[04:09] Zagan
I mean the soup, okay?
[04:12] Nephy
Yes... it's warm.
SIGN Days later
[04:23] Nephy
What is it you're always studying, Master?
[04:27] Zagan
What do you mean?
Can't you tell it's sorcery?
[04:29] Nephy
I thought as much, but I wasn't sure
what purpose those drawings serve.
[04:37] Zagan
Is elven sorcery different?
[04:40] Nephy
I... can't use sorcery.
[04:45] Zagan
Despite having much higher
quality mana than average, huh?
[04:50] Zagan
Well, conceptually speaking,
symbols like this contain certain powers.
[04:55] Zagan
There's debate about what the writing is.
[04:57] Zagan
It might be the language of the gods
or the emblem of a pact with demons,
[05:00] Zagan
but whatever the case, I don't really know.
[05:03] Zagan
This is the blueprint for the most simple
form of sorcery: a sorcerous circle.
[05:07] Zagan
This one creates lightning.
[05:10] Zagan
You channel mana into it and...
[05:16] Zagan
That level of sorcery is like
making a leaf float on water.
[05:20] Zagan
But you can add symbols to the circle
to increase its potency,
[05:24] Zagan
direct it, expand its range,
[05:29] Zagan
control the timing at which sorcery
comes forth, among other things.
[05:34] Zagan
Sorry about that.
[05:36] Zagan
But all you need to do is channel
some mana, and anyone can use it.
[05:40] Zagan
Which necessitates a restriction that
only lets the original caster use it.
[05:44] Zagan
Without that bit, another sorcerer
could hijack it with ease.
[05:50] Zagan
The construction of these kind of
sorcerous circles are called "circuits."
[05:55] Zagan
Is something wrong?
[05:56] Nephy
It's just... you've been making additions
to the outside of the circuit, Master.
[06:00] Nephy
Is it possible to add something inside of it?
[06:04] Zagan
That's pretty insightful of you to notice.
[06:06] Zagan
And the answer is that it's somewhat
impossible, somewhat possible.
[06:09] Zagan
It requires creating a second sorcerous circle
inside of one that's already complete.
[06:15] Zagan
Doing that disrupts the flow of mana,
[06:17] Zagan
so both sorceries would
either not activate or run amok.
[06:20] Zagan
But if you had total control of the flow
of mana, it would be possible.
[06:24] Nephy
Does that mean... it's possible to
override someone else's sorcery?
[06:30] Zagan
Correct.
[06:32] Zagan
And someone capable of that
would be safe from all sorcery.
[06:36] Zagan
They'd be able to fend off all
manner of sorcerous attacks.
[06:40] Zagan
Theoretically, it'd result in the
most powerful sorcerer of all time.
[06:44] Zagan
Still, that's only theoretical.
[06:47] Zagan
If it were that easy, everybody would do it.
[06:50] Zagan
Besides, no one studies that
kind of thing seriously.
[06:53] Zagan
Although there are people crazy
enough to poke around at the idea.
[06:58] Nephy
I think I understand a bit
of sorcerous theory now.
[07:00] Nephy
But...
[07:01] Nephy
Does that mean anyone can use it,
as long as they know how it works?
[07:06] Zagan
I think Nephy might have
a real knack for this.
[07:10] Zagan
You're right.
[07:12] Zagan
For sorcerers, knowledge is a
direct correlation to power.
[07:16] Zagan
And that's why we put
together tricks and traps
[07:18] Zagan
to avoid that knowledge being stolen.
[07:21] Zagan
Be careful when touching
anything in here, okay, Nephy?
[07:26] Zagan
That was a joke! I've altered the
traps so that you won't trigger them.
[07:31] Nephy
Master... you're teasing me.
[07:35] Zagan
You almost sound happy about that.
[07:37] Nephy
How did you know?
[07:40] Zagan
Well...
[07:41] Zagan
Your ears...
[07:43] Nephy
You've never spoken at such
lengths to me before, Master.
[07:49] Zagan
Well, sorcery is really all I have!
[07:52] Zagan
I guess it's easier to talk about
specialized knowledge you have.
[07:55] Nephy
May I ask you a question, Master?
[07:58] Zagan
What is it?
[07:59] Nephy
What do you intend to do with
such incredible power?
[08:07] Nephy
Forgive me.
[08:08] Nephy
It must not have been an
appropriate question.
[08:10] Zagan
No, it's not that.
[08:13] Zagan
I've just never thought about it before.
[08:15] Zagan
If I had to give an answer...
Survive, I guess?
[08:20] Nephy
Survive?
[08:21] Zagan
When I was young, I didn't have
any money or a place to live.
[08:24] Zagan
I had to steal everything
I needed to survive.
[08:27] Zagan
And even I had it better than others did.
[08:29] Zagan
I managed to avoid being killed.
[08:32] Zagan
But then one day, I was
captured by a sorcerer.
[08:36] Zagan
Children make great sacrifices, after all.
[08:40] Zagan
I managed to turn it around on him
before I was actually killed, but...
[08:44] Zagan
That was when I learned that if I wanted
to stay alive, I needed to become strong.
[08:49] Zagan
Which is what I want to do.
[08:51] Zagan
It might sound a little trite as a goal,
but immortality would be ideal.
[08:56] Nephy
I was never able to become that strong.
[09:03] Zagan
You know, Nephy,
[09:05] Zagan
if you have any interest in sorcery—
[09:12] Zagan
We've got company. I'll go and see to them.
You should prepare dinner, Nephy.
[09:17] Nephy
Understood. For how many people?
[09:21] Zagan
Just the two of us.
[09:23] Zagan
These visitors will be going home soon.
[09:25] Ryan
So the person responsible for the kidnappings
is lurking in a place like this.
[09:30] Alfred
We were just here! It feels like
we're going around in circles!
[09:33] Chastille
It's probably caused by a
protective sorcerous barrier.
[09:36] Chastille
I'll deal with it.
[09:54] Zagan
Good grief.
[09:55] Zagan
Does the church not teach how to
act when calling on someone?
[09:59] Ryan
How dare you!
[10:02] Chastille
Then, it really is you.
[10:05] Zagan
Have we met before?
[10:07] Zagan
Considering how it tore through my barrier,
[10:09] Zagan
that must be one of the the famous Sacred Swords.
[10:11] Zagan
One of the twelve blades that are said
to have slain the Lord of Fiends.
[10:16] Zagan
The symbol of the Church's strength.
[10:18] Zagan
And a young girl like her is wielding it?
[10:21] Zagan
Come to think of it, she looks familiar.
[10:24] Zagan
Oh, yeah. She's that girl
who was almost killed.
[10:27] Zagan
If I had known she was an Angelic Knight,
[10:29] Zagan
I wouldn't have have let her go.
SIGN An Archdemon's Dilemma:

[10:42] Zagan
You know, I have better things to be doing!
[10:50] Zagan
The defensive power of that anointed
armor they have is impressive.
[10:55] Zagan
I may have been holding back,
but it's not even scratched.
[10:57] Ryan
Attacking us unprovoked...
Sorcerers really are all cowards!
[11:01] Alfred
Lady Chastille, leave this wretch
to the Three Cerulean Knights!
[11:05] Zagan
Will you go home after
I slap you around some?
[11:08] Ryan
Be silent!
[11:16] Zagan
Now get out of my sight.
[11:18] Zagan
Or are you going to make that skinny girl
carry you three clods all by herself?
[11:23] Alfred
This isn't over yet! I'll—
[11:25] Chastille
Enough! Retreat!
[11:26] Alfred
I cannot, Lady Chastille!
[11:33] Alfred
Impossible...!
[11:38] Zagan
Whoa, I wouldn't if I were you.
[11:40] Zagan
I can pulp his head faster
than you'd be able to strike.
[11:48] Zagan
I'm glad to see you're a fast learner.
[11:51] Chastille
Why torture him so? Are you so intent
on dishonoring us after our loss?
[11:56] Zagan
Do you know how to create fear?
[11:59] Chastille
What?
[12:00] Zagan
If I were to kill all of you,
[12:02] Zagan
the ones who sent you would only make
a passing note of four fatalities.
[12:07] Zagan
In order to spread fear, I need you to
survive and spread word of what happened.
[12:13] Zagan
Like this, for instance.
[12:17] Chastille
And that's why you won't kill us?
[12:18] Chastille
You're lying.
[12:21] Zagan
I mean, yeah, if I started stacking up bodies
around the house, it'd probably scare Nephy.
[12:26] Chastille
I knew it.
[12:28] Zagan
Not good.
[12:29] Zagan
She can tell I'm not willing
to kill the hostage.
[12:32] Chastille
On my commander's orders, I, Chastille Lillqvist,
will now slay the sorcerer Zagan!
[12:41] Zagan
She barely touched it and look what happened.
[12:44] Zagan
But it's not that powerful.
[12:46] Zagan
The blessing of that anointed
armor is helping,
[12:48] Zagan
but at the end of the day,
she's too small for this.
[12:51] Chastille
Why don't you fight back?!
[12:53] Chastille
Are you trying to say I'm not
worthy of your aggression?!
[12:56] Zagan
I've never been good at attacking women.
[13:00] Zagan
Especially when she looks to be
about the same age as Nephy.
[13:03] Chastille
Why?!
[13:05] Chastille
Why...
[13:06] Chastille
Why has someone like you...
sullied his hands with sorcery?
[13:10] Zagan
Is using sorcery some kind of crime?
[13:13] Chastille
It's evil! It's mere existence ensures that
people are oppressed and suffering!
[13:18] Zagan
Then what about the power you wield?
[13:21] Zagan
Is it for unilaterally killing any sorcerers
that prove to be weaker than you?
[13:29] Zagan
I'm not trying to justify myself,
[13:32] Zagan
but there's no shortage of people
who need sorcery to survive.
[13:35] Zagan
And if you're going around crushing them
as a means of securing your livelihood,
[13:38] Zagan
you don't get to shout about
how righteous you are.
[13:42] Chastille
I...
[13:44] Chastille
Even then... No, that's exactly why...
[13:47] Chastille
I cannot lose!
[13:50] Chastille
There!
[13:54] Zagan
A test of might, then?
[13:56] Chastille
You're on!
[14:08] Zagan
She was holding back all along?
[14:13] Zagan
The regeneration from my healing
sorcery isn't fast enough.
[14:16] Zagan
Thanks to the Sacred Sword, I guess.
[14:21] Zagan
I guess I'm out of options.
[14:23] Zagan
She has to die.
[14:24] Chastille
Listen to me.
[14:26] Chastille
Are you willing to pretend
to be killed by me?
[14:31] Chastille
The Church will hound you until you die.
[14:34] Chastille
If I'm defeated, a stronger
Angelic Knight will be sent in my stead.
[14:38] Chastille
You should fake your own death.
[14:40] Chastille
Then abandon sorcery,
and live your life like a proper human.
[14:44] Zagan
It's hard to believe I'm hearing
this from an Angelic Knight.
[14:47] Chastille
You didn't kill my men.
[14:50] Chastille
You spoke of spreading fear,
but I could see the mercy in your eyes.
[14:55] Zagan
Mercy? From me?
[14:57] Chastille
And most of all, I haven't
forgotten that you saved my life.
[15:02] Chastille
Forgive me... but this is the best I can do.
[15:08] Zagan
An Angelic Knight abetting a
sorcerer is a serious crime.
[15:12] Zagan
She's risking a lot to make me this offer.
[15:15] Zagan
Still...
[15:16] Zagan
I can't accept it. If I run, that
means Nephy will be attacked.
[15:21] Nephy
Master!
[15:26] Zagan
Stay back, Nephy!
[15:27] Torres
An ally of the sorcerer?!
[15:30] Chastille
Torres, don't!
[15:41] Nephy
Master!
[15:45] Zagan
This is nothing.
[15:54] Torres
Wh-What in the...
[15:55] Chastille
The forest...
[15:59] Nephy
You hurt my master.
[16:10] Nephy
You won't escape.
[16:19] Zagan
That's enough! You can stop now!
[16:21] Zagan
Don't do it, Nephy!
[16:30] Zagan
Is this...
[16:32] Zagan
Nephy's power?
[16:41] Zagan
The Angelic Knights withdrew.
[16:47] (Flashback) Chastille
I didn't intend on dragging
any innocents into this.
[16:50] (Flashback) Chastille
Forgive me.
[16:51] Zagan
Even in the end, she was acting guilty.
[16:56] Zagan
Nephy, I thought you said
you couldn't use sorcery.
[17:01] Nephy
That wasn't... sorcery.
[17:03] Zagan
Then what was it?
[17:06] Zagan
Well, whatever.
[17:08] Zagan
It doesn't really matter to me
what kind of power you wield.
[17:12] Zagan
Crap! That made it sound like
I'm not interested in her!
[17:18] Zagan
You are Nephy. Nothing else matters.
[17:22] Zagan
There, I said it!
[17:24] Nephy
Thank you.
[17:26] Zagan
Were you scared?
[17:30] Nephy
You're asking me that?
[17:34] Nephy
Don't you find me... unsettling, Master?
[17:38] Zagan
Why would I?
[17:41] Nephy
But... before, I was...
[17:44] Zagan
Yes, I had never seen power like that before.
[17:47] Zagan
I'll admit, I'm interested.
[17:48] Nephy
That's... all?
[17:53] Nephy
That power...
[17:54] Nephy
is known as mysticism.
[17:56] Zagan
Mysticism?
[17:58] Zagan
It actually exists?
[18:00] Zagan
Not a system of techniques composed
with a basis in logic, like sorcery,
[18:04] Zagan
but a miracle power that allows tapping into
powers beyond natural law just by wishing it!
[18:08] Zagan
Can all elves use that kind of power?
[18:12] Nephy
No...
[18:14] Nephy
I can because I'm a cursed child.
[18:16] (Flashback) Elf 1
Look at her, grinning like that.
[18:18] (Flashback) Elf 2
It's so creepy.
[18:19] (Flashback) Elf 3
The trees in the western
woods were moving again.
[18:21] (Flashback) Elf 3
Someone saw her muttering to herself.
[18:23] (Flashback) Elf 1
Ugh, it's so scary.
[18:24] (Flashback) Elf 2
We should cast her out!
[18:25] (Flashback) Elf 3
Shh! She'll curse you.
[18:28] Nephy
This power isn't supposed to exist.
[18:31] Nephy
Children with white hair aren't
supposed to be born, so...
[18:36] Zagan
That look...
[18:38] Zagan
"You aren't human. You don't get
to have emotions or desires."
[18:42] Zagan
The look of someone who's been
told that for a long time...
[18:45] Nephy
One day, my village came under attack...
[18:47] Nephy
And the villagers told me to
use my power to protect them.
[18:52] Nephy
"It's time you repay us for
letting you live," they said.
[18:55] Nephy
After they said that, it was like I could hear
something breaking apart inside of my head.
[19:02] Nephy
I was captured, without resisting at all.
[19:06] Nephy
Everyone else ran away, so desperately.
[19:09] Nephy
I don't think many who ran survived.
[19:12] Nephy
Even elf corpses have their uses, after all.
[19:16] Nephy
And when I saw that...
[19:19] Nephy
I thought that they deserved
what happened to them!
[19:22] Nephy
Isn't that awful? As I saw the people who
cursed my existence die, I laughed at them!
[19:28] Nephy
"Now it's your turn to suffer!" I thought.
[19:33] Nephy
I only realized what
I had done after the fact.
[19:38] Nephy
I...
[19:40] Zagan
That's why she stopped
expressing her emotions.
[19:46] Nephy
I'm sorry.
[19:47] Nephy
You must be disappointed.
[19:49] Zagan
Why would I be?
[19:52] Zagan
I would've killed the entire village,
along with the attackers.
[19:59] Nephy
Even then... I don't think
what I did can be forgiven.
[20:03] Zagan
Forgiven by who?
[20:05] Nephy
By... the people of the village!
[20:08] Zagan
But they're dead. So what does it matter?
[20:12] Zagan
I doubt even they are so pathetic that
they'd chide you from beyond the grave.
[20:17] Zagan
When you have strength,
you should live a strong life.
[20:19] Zagan
Otherwise, it's an insult to those
who die because they are powerless.
[20:23] Nephy
Is it really all right for
me to have this power?
[20:26] Zagan
Well, let me ask you, is having
power really that wrong?
[20:29] Zagan
Is wanting to be strong evil?
[20:32] Nephy
That's...
[20:33] Zagan
If you're curious...
[20:34] Zagan
I've been told it was evil.
[20:38] Zagan
A long time ago, I saved a
girl from a gang of robbers.
[20:44] (Flashback) Zagan
When you're weak, it's only
natural you get preyed on.
[20:46] (Flashback) Zagan
If you don't want this to
happen again, get strong.
[20:49] (Flashback) Girl
Are weak people not even allowed to live?
[20:52] (Flashback) Girl
Does flaunting your strength
really make you so great?!
[20:58] Zagan
I got the feeling that she had been
treated really well growing up.
[21:02] Zagan
Pity and kindness are toxic luxuries
that can make people careless.
[21:06] Zagan
Living that kind of cozy,
coddled life had made her weak.
[21:09] Zagan
I didn't want that to happen to me,
so I've lived to become stronger.
[21:16] Zagan
Granted, that didn't exactly get
me anywhere in particular.
[21:24] Zagan
My point is, Nephy...
[21:26] Zagan
Don't make that face.
[21:28] Zagan
I already told you I needed you, didn't I?
[21:30] Nephy
I'm... really allowed to be here?
[21:34] Zagan
Of course you are.
[21:36] Zagan
Especially after the meal you provided me.
[21:38] Zagan
I can't even imagine life
without you, anymore.

[00:16] Nephy
Pardon me for that undignified display.
[00:19] Zagan
Don't worry about it.
You've never been so talkative before.
[00:24] Nephy
You're teasing me, Master.
[00:27] Nephy
Do your hands still hurt?
[00:30] Zagan
Come to think of it,
the pain seems to have gone away.
[00:37] Zagan
The wounds...
[00:38] Zagan
Did you do this, Nephy?
[00:40] Nephy
I think so.
[00:42] Zagan
Just from touching her?
[00:44] Zagan
So this is the power of mysticism.
[00:47] Zagan
It's much more potent than healing sorcery.
[00:50] Zagan
Impressive. Thank you, Nephy.

[00:54] Zagan
What's wrong?

That's the first time you've said that to me.

single word gratitude to her?!

That's... Sorry.

It's okay.

You're my master, after all.
[01:21] Zagan
Nephy? Is something wrong?
[01:26] Nephy
Well, Master...
[01:30] Nephy
Would you... like to sleep with me?
SIGN Next Time:
When An Archdemon Offers You Anything,
You're Better Off Saying No
[03:12] Zagan
Sleep... with you?
[03:19] Zagan
I'm a man, and Nephy's a woman, which
would imply... Is she trying to say—
[03:26] Zagan
Nephy. Do you understand what you're saying?
[03:30] Nephy
Yes. This castle has only one bed, so...
[03:36] Zagan
Bwuh?
[03:37] Nephy
You always sleep in that chair.
[03:42] Nephy
I think you'd be able to rest
better if you laid down.
[03:46] Nephy
So I thought you could join me...
[03:48] Zagan
Oh, it's not that she's
making physical overtures,
[03:53] Zagan
she genuinely wants to share
a bed for sleeping purposes.
[03:56] Zagan
So very pure...
[03:58] Zagan
Nephy, I appreciate your concern,
[04:01] Zagan
but this is the anchor point of my barriers.
[04:03] Zagan
Should anything happen,
it's important that I'm in this room.
[04:07] Nephy
I thought that might be the case.
[04:10] Nephy
Which is why—
[04:12] Nephy
Please, use my lap.
[04:16] Zagan
Is she offering me a lap pillow?!
[04:20] Zagan
Well, obviously, I can't turn that down!
[04:29] Nephy
Are you comfortable?
[04:31] Zagan
I-It's not bad.
[04:33] Zagan
What is this mixture of
embarrassment and comfort?
[04:38] Zagan
To say nothing about the very imposing view.
[04:41] Zagan
I'm curious, what brought this on?
[04:46] Nephy
You said it was all right for me to stay here
[04:49] Nephy
after learning about my mysticism.
[04:51] Nephy
I wanted to show my gratitude.
[04:55] Zagan
Thanks aren't necessary.
[04:57] Zagan
You've already been doing a great job.
[05:00] Nephy
Okay.
[05:03] Zagan
Say, Nephy, are you interested
in learning sorcery?
[05:07] Nephy
You think I could?
[05:09] Zagan
Based on what I saw today, you don't have
a lot of control over mysticism, do you?
[05:15] Zagan
Considering how much power you displayed,
in spite of a mana-limiting collar...
[05:19] Zagan
I'm not certain that learning sorcery
would help you get a handle on mysticism,
[05:24] Zagan
but you could at least use
it to defend yourself.
[05:26] Nephy
Will I really be able to?
[05:29] Zagan
Of course. I get the feeling
you'll be even better at it than I am.
[05:35] Nephy
Will it... help me be of use to you?
[05:39] Zagan
You're already a great help.
[05:42] Nephy
Would I... be able to protect you, Master?
[05:46] Zagan
You just protected me from the
Angelic Knights, remember?
[05:52] Nephy
I'll do it.
[05:53] Nephy
I want to learn sorcery to help you, Master.
[05:57] Zagan
I would've preferred she did
it for her own sake, but...
[06:00] Zagan
In that case, Nephy,
you're now my apprentice.
[06:03] Nephy
Right.
[06:05] Zagan
An apprentice, huh...
[06:07] Zagan
I never even thought
about having one until now.
[06:10] Zagan
Entrusting the knowledge and techniques
I've gathered to someone else...
[06:13] Nephy
Excuse me, Master?
[06:16] Nephy
In the story you mentioned earlier,
[06:19] Nephy
you made it sound like your power meant
you didn't understand how the weak feel...
[06:25] (Flashback) Girl
Are weak people not even allowed to live?
[06:28] (Flashback) Girl
Does flaunting your strength
really make you so great?!
[06:32] Zagan
I guess I did mention that.
[06:34] Nephy
You made it sound like it didn't mean much...
[06:38] Nephy
But I think it must've been painful for you.
[06:43] Zagan
Why do you think that?
[06:45] Nephy
I don't know.
[06:47] Nephy
But when you were talking about it,
[06:50] Nephy
you looked very sad.
[06:56] Nephy
You're not a bad person, Master.
[07:00] Nephy
You might not talk much, but I will never
forget how kindly you've treated me.
[07:06] Zagan
I see.
[07:07] Nephy
Yes.
[07:09] Zagan
This isn't bad at all.
[07:14] Zagan
It'd be nice if we could
have more moments like this.
[07:23] Barbatos
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the hell?!
[07:27] Barbatos
I heard you had Angelic Knights
sicced on you! How are you fine?!
[07:32] Zagan
How should I know?
They're the ones who were weak.
[07:35] Barbatos
I heard one of them even had a Sacred Sword.
[07:42] Zagan
I guess that is true, actually.
[07:46] Barbatos
So even the Maiden of the
Sacred Sword wasn't a threat to you?
[07:48] Zagan
No, she was pretty strong.
[07:51] Zagan
She managed to destroy a few of
the barriers around the castle.
[07:54] Zagan
Speaking of, could you please stop breaking
through them whenever you show up?
[07:58] Nephy
Here you are.
[08:00] Nephy
Help yourself to as much
milk and sugar as you like.
[08:03] Barbatos
Yeah, thank—
[08:10] Barbatos
W-Whoa! That's the elf from before, right?
[08:13] Barbatos
Or not?
[08:14] Zagan
No, it's definitely the same girl as before.
[08:17] Barbatos
You haven't used her as a sacrifice yet?!
[08:20] Barbatos
Wait, don't tell me. You're letting her
live for as long as she serves you?!
[08:25] Barbatos
Damn, that's nasty!
[08:26] Zagan
No. I'm not you.
[08:30] Zagan
Nephy is my... well, my apprentice.
[08:34] Barbatos
A-An apprentice? You?!
[08:37] Zagan
Something wrong with that?
[08:38] Zagan
There are sorceries who are
hard to handle on your own.
[08:41] Zagan
Nephy will come in handy.
[08:43] Nephy
Thank you, sir.
[08:46] Barbatos
I get it.
[08:47] Barbatos
Using an elf, there's probably no
sorcery that you can't pull off.
[08:51] Barbatos
The idea never occurred to me.
[08:54] Zagan
He's talking about her like she's an object.
[08:56] Zagan
I do it sometimes, too, but hearing it
from someone else is ticking me off!
[09:01] Barbatos
Wait, is her power how you chased
off the Angelic Knights, too?
[09:04] Zagan
She did have a hand in that, yes.
[09:08] Barbatos
I guess that explains the mess outside.
[09:14] Barbatos
You're after one of the
Archdemon seats, aren't you?
[09:18] Zagan
All I really wanted was the key, but...
[09:21] Zagan
With an Archdemon's authority, fewer
people would risk coming after Nephy.
[09:26] Zagan
Why wouldn't I be?
[09:33] Zagan
The truth is, I'm unlikely
to be chosen right now.
[09:37] Zagan
It's only been a decade since
I began studying sorcery.
[09:42] Zagan
There are others who have been doing
it for several hundred years.
[09:46] Zagan
In terms of accumulated knowledge and
experience, I simply can't compare.
[09:51] Zagan
But as long as I stay alive, there's always
a chance I can take the next open seat.
[09:57] Zagan
This goes well with the
black tea. Very tasty.
[10:00] Nephy
I'm thrilled to hear it, Master.
[10:02] Barbatos
Zagan, you haven't gotten
attached to this girl, have you?
[10:07] Zagan
Is it that strange value one's apprentice?
[10:11] Zagan
Man, being able to call
her that is so convenient!
[10:15] Barbatos
I get it!
[10:16] Barbatos
I guess you've still got some
humanity intact, after all.
[10:20] Zagan
Give it a rest.
[10:22] Zagan
What, are you leaving already?
[10:24] Barbatos
Yep.
[10:27] Zagan
What did he even come here for?
[10:30] Nephy
Aren't you friends?
[10:31] Zagan
Friends?!
[10:33] Zagan
Don't be ridiculous.
[10:35] Zagan
You need to choose your friends carefully
or they'll only become nuisances.
[10:40] Nephy
But you seemed to be having a good time.
[10:43] Zagan
I did?
[10:45] Nephy
Yes.
[10:46] Zagan
Do I enjoy talking with that idiot?
[10:51] Zagan
That's absurd! Nephy's just mistaken.
[10:56] Zagan
Now, then, it's time to repair the
barriers damaged by the Angelic Knights.
[11:02] Zagan
Come along, Nephy.
[11:04] Zagan
This is a good chance to teach you the
fundamentals of sorcerous circles.
[11:07] Nephy
Yes, Master.
[11:11] Zagan
From that point on, Nephy worked
hard on her sorcery lessons
[11:16] Zagan
while also attending to the castle.
[11:31] Zagan
Not being alone...
[11:34] Zagan
is somehow sweeter than I had anticipated.
[11:36] Zagan
Much more than I expected.
[11:38] Zagan
And, little by little,
Nephy began to express herself more.
[11:48] Zagan
As for mysticism...
[11:50] Zagan
She seems to still have
trouble controlling it.
[12:01] Zagan
You can use some decent sorcery now.
[12:04] Nephy
Thank you!
[12:06] Nephy
In that case, I'll see to preparing lunch.
[12:09] Zagan
Right.
[12:10] Zagan
Now if I could just get rid of that collar...
[12:16] Zagan
And before I knew it, I had been
living with Nephy for a month.
[12:40] Zagan
Well, this is a shock.
[12:42] Zagan
It seems the 12 Archdemons
are calling for me.
SIGN An Archdemon's Dilemma:
How to Love Your Elf Bride
[12:51] Zagan
The trading hub, Kianoides.
[12:55] Zagan
Underneath this town are ruins used as a
lair by the late Archdemon, Marchosias.
[13:13] Zagan
This is where the 12 current
Archdemons have all gathered,
[13:18] Zagan
and are waiting for me.
[13:21] Zagan
The question is, what do they want?
[13:40] Archdemon A
You must be Zagan.
[13:44] Archdemon A
I had heard you were young,
but you're an actual child.
[13:49] Archdemon B
Interesting.
[13:50] Archdemon B
The youngest to ever be chosen, then.
[13:53] Zagan
Oh, come on...
[13:54] Zagan
I feel like throwing up from pressure
and the intensity of their mana.
[13:58] Zagan
Forget being in the sights of a snake,
[14:01] Zagan
it feels like I'm in one's stomach already.
[14:04] Zagan
These are the apex sorcerers, the Archdemons!
[14:10] Zagan
Was I summoned just to be gawked at?
[14:13] Zagan
Because if so, does that mean I can go?
[14:20] Archdemon A
You've quite the nerve to
take that tone with us.
[14:24] Archdemon A
Let's spare the pleasantries, then.
[14:27] Archdemon A
Sorcerer Zagan, you have been chosen to
be our 13th comrade, an Archdemon.
[14:43] Archdemon A
This is the Archdemon brand
that Marchosias left behind.
[14:47] Archdemon A
Taking the seat of an Archdemon is the
process of acquiring one of these emblems.
[14:54] Zagan
What the hell is that emblem?!
[14:57] Zagan
The density and quantity of mana is absurd!
[14:59] Zagan
And I'm going to inherit it?
[15:01] Zagan
I can feel a similar power
from everyone else here.
[15:05] Zagan
I see, so being an Archdemon
isn't just a title you earn.
[15:10] Zagan
Considering the kind of power they wield,
[15:12] Zagan
I can see why ordinary sorcerers
are powerless against them.
[15:17] Archdemon A
What's wrong? Something not to your liking?
[15:19] Zagan
Not really, other than this
doesn't make much sense.
[15:22] Zagan
There are sorcerers much
more powerful than I am.
[15:27] Archdemon A
A natural doubt to have.
[15:29] Archdemon A
Your power is still insignificant.
[15:31] Archdemon A
But despite that, there is
no sorcerer who can kill you.
[15:37] Archdemon A
The first sorcerer you killed...
[15:40] Archdemon A
Andras the Accursed was by no means weak.
[15:47] Archdemon A
And yet despite that, you were
able to turn the tables on him,
[15:51] Archdemon A
taking his life and all his knowledge.
[15:54] Archdemon A
How is it that an eight-year-old boy
[15:56] Archdemon A
was able to strike down a sorcerer
who had earned a second name?
[16:00] Archdemon A
You...
[16:02] Archdemon A
were able to learn his sorcery
with a single glance.
[16:08] Archdemon A
Not just that, but you grasped its
function in that single moment.
[16:13] Archdemon A
That is why you were able to
construct wholly unique sorcery.
[16:18] Zagan
Well, so much for my secret weapon.
[16:22] Archdemon B
Your sorcery is worthy of awe.
[16:24] Archdemon B
Your talents? Worthy of resentment.
[16:27] Archdemon A
Should you decide to take from others,
none would be able to stop you.
[16:32] Archdemon A
Should you decide to kill,
none would be able to survive.
[16:38] Archdemon A
Should you crave it,
[16:40] Archdemon A
all others would have little choice but to
surrender their sorcery to you.
[16:45] Archdemon A
A tyrannical power, fitting for an Archdemon.
[16:48] Archdemon A
In time, you will become the
greatest sorcerer in all history.
[16:53] Archdemon A
Which is why you will be made an
Archdemon now, despite your fledgling status.
[16:57] Archdemon A
All is for the sake of knowledge.
[17:00] Archdemon A
All so that we may master sorcery.
[17:03] Zagan
If what you're saying is true, that'd mean
I could take from all of you, wouldn't it?
[17:13] Archdemon C
Indeed. But mind yourself, boy.
[17:16] Archdemon C
Know that we could take much more from you
[17:18] Archdemon C
than you would be able to take from us.
[17:27] Archdemon A
An Archdemon's wrath is nothing
as simple as destruction.
[17:31] Archdemon A
It is an erasure of all things
you have ever known,
[17:33] Archdemon A
be they man, material, or memory,
until your very existence is no more.
[17:41] Archdemon A
That is the nature of the beings you face.
[17:45] Archdemon A
And the nature of what you
will become, yourself.
[17:50] Archdemon A
There will be no peace, no tranquility.
[17:53] Archdemon A
From the shadows of sorcery,
into the an even darker abyss.
[17:56] Archdemon A
A pitch-black void where not even a
single ray of light will penetrate.
[18:00] Archdemon A
That is the world that is calling to you.
[18:07] Zagan
Like I didn't know.
[18:09] Zagan
From the moment I became a sorcerer...
[18:11] Zagan
Well, the moment I was forced to become one,
[18:14] Zagan
I knew a normal life was out of the question.
[18:18] Zagan
The final destination for a
sorcerer is one of two outcomes.
[18:21] Zagan
Become one of them, or die in obscurity.
[18:25] Zagan
Turning back was never an option.
[18:28] Zagan
But... can I really drag
Nephy into that darkness?
[18:37] Archdemon A
I would have your answer.
[18:40] Zagan
There is something I want.
[18:45] Zagan
If I can have it, then I'll accept.
[18:49] Archdemon A
What is it you wish?
[18:53] Archdemon A
Very well.
[18:55] Archdemon A
Do what you will with all of it.
[18:58] Zagan
In that case, I humbly accept
the position of Archdemon.
[19:06] Archdemon A
Let us welcome our new comrade...
[19:09] Archdemon A
Archdemon Zagan!
[19:14] Archdemon A
And let us grant him his second name.
[19:17] Archdemon A
You will be known as...
[19:25] Nephy
Welcome home, Master!
[19:28] Nephy
Tonight will be lamb stew...
[19:32] Nephy
Master, did something happen?
[19:35] Zagan
I've been on a road where
there's no turning back.
[19:39] Zagan
But Nephy...
[19:40] Zagan
She's finally got a chance to live
something resembling a normal life.
[19:44] Zagan
Nephy.
[19:46] Zagan
I've become an Archdemon.
[19:50] Zagan
They're the lords of sorcery.
[19:52] Zagan
Other sorcerers have to obey them.
They stand atop the rest.
[19:57] Nephy
Congratulations!
[19:59] Zagan
As part of my appointment,
[20:02] Zagan
I've obtained all of Marchosias' property.
[20:06] Zagan
Which means...
[20:14] Zagan
I can remove that collar.
[20:29] Nephy
M-Master, are you saying...
[20:32] Zagan
Yes.
[20:35] Zagan
As an Archdemon, I have no more use for you.
[20:39] Zagan
Please leave.
[20:48] Nephy
Huh?
[20:50] Nephy
What am I doing out here again?
[20:55] Nephy
I remember... I was preparing dinner...
[21:00] Nephy
It was lamb stew.
Master had loved it before...
[21:07] Nephy
I wanted to see him make the same face.
[21:10] Nephy
I had better hurry back...
[21:22] Nephy
Oh, right.
[21:26] Nephy
Master got rid of me.
[21:30] (Flashback) Zagan
So for now, you'll live for my sake.
[21:33] (Flashback) Zagan
Do as you wish, Nephy.
[21:36] (Flashback) Zagan
My point is, Nephy...
[21:37] (Flashback) Zagan
Don't make that face.
[21:39] (Flashback) Zagan
I already told you I needed you, didn't I?
[21:45] Nephy
I'm surprised that I'm not crying,
in spite of what's happened.
[21:51] Nephy
After he said I could stay with him...

shoulders until you feel better!
[05:04] Chastille
I-I don't really need to...
[05:11] Manuela
I see. So he kicked you out,
and you don't know why.
[05:16] Chastille
I thought he seemed half-decent...
[05:19] Chastille
But now it's like he was just using you.
[05:23] Nephy
My master isn't that kind of person.
[05:25] Chastille
You don't have to get so angry...
[05:27] Nephy
But I'm not angry.
[05:29] Chastille
Your lack of expression is scary!
[05:31] Manuela
Did anything weird happen
before he kicked you out?
[05:37] (Flashback) Zagan
I've become an Archdemon.
[05:39] Nephy
Well... what exactly is an Archdemon?
[05:44] Manuela
They're the most important sorcerers, right?
[05:47] Manuela
This town used to be run by an
Archdemon called Lord Marchosias,
[05:51] Manuela
and things were pretty safe,
[05:53] Manuela
but since he died, there's been
a string of nasty business.
[05:56] Chastille
The kidnappings of young girls by sorcerers?
[05:59] Manuela
Yep! The Church apparently caught
the guys behind it, though.
[06:03] Manuela
Some sorcerer who was called the
Facestealer, I think? And his buddies.
[06:08] (Flashback) Clavwell
The sorcerer, Zagan.
[06:10] (Flashback) Clavwell
He's the one truly responsible
for these horrid kidnappings.
[06:16] Nephy
The townspeople didn't seem to think too
favorably of them, in spite of that...
[06:21] Manuela
That's because they went around demanding
[06:22] Manuela
a ridiculous amount of money as a
"salvation offering" right after!
[06:26] Manuela
It's not really an offering
if it's mandatory, is it?
[06:31] Nephy
But... she wasn't the one who
was asking for it, right?
[06:35] Nephy
I don't think it's right
to blame her for that.
[06:39] Chastille
You're so nice!
[06:41] Chastille
I can understand why that man
wanted to keep you around!
[06:44] Nephy
You... think so?
[06:47] Chastille
Getting back on topic...
[06:49] Chastille
The Archdemons are symbols of
evil that the Angelic Knights
[06:52] Chastille
are sworn to wipe out,
even at the cost of our lives.
[06:54] Chastille
There are only 12 Sacred
Swords but 13 Archdemons.
[06:59] Chastille
Even if we were to sacrifice ourselves,
we'd still come up one short.
[07:02] Chastille
When a new Archdemon is chosen,
[07:05] Chastille
the Church will likely try to slay them
before they can muster their strength.
[07:09] Chastille
There may also be other sorcerers who
would target them to raise their standing.
[07:13] Nephy
Then... there's likely to be fighting?
[07:15] Nephy
Could that be why Master sent me away?
[07:19] Chastille
I need to ask you something.
[07:22] Chastille
Do you think that Zagan is capable
of organizing multiple sorcerers
[07:25] Chastille
for the sake of kidnapping people
to sacrifice in a ritual?
[07:29] Nephy
I don't think so.
[07:31] Nephy
My master is strangely uninterested
in people he perceives as weak.
[07:36] Nephy
When he rescued a carriage that
was being attacked by bandits,
[07:39] Nephy
he described it as relieving
himself of an annoyance.
[07:43] Nephy
He may have done it to put me at
ease, now that I think about it.
[07:48] Chastille
I thought as much.
[07:50] Chastille
And you're probably right.
[07:53] Chastille
When I fought him, he was holding
back because I was a woman.
[08:00] Chastille
As humiliating as that is... Well...
[08:02] Manuela
Well, what?! What's that
expression meant to convey?
[08:06] Manuela
Am I looking at a maiden in love?
[08:08] Chastille
Don't be absurd! It's not that, it's just...
[08:13] Chastille
When I first met him,
[08:15] Chastille
that man looked like he needed help.
[08:20] Chastille
Like he needed compassion,
[08:22] Chastille
but refused to admit it,
and would even push it away.
[08:27] Chastille
It's kind of hard to describe.
[08:29] Nephy
No... I understand.
[08:31] Nephy
Especially when he talks about his past...
[08:36] Nephy
I can't believe there's someone
else who noticed that.
[08:41] Nephy
I'm a little jealous, but...
[08:43] Nephy
I'm also happy.
[08:45] Nephy
The evening of the first day we met...
I saw the moon from a window.
[08:50] Nephy
I thought I'd never get to see it again...
[08:54] Nephy
And then he looked up at it with me.
[08:59] (Flashback) Zagan
I don't think we can reach it.
[09:01] Nephy
Could it be that, even now,
he still needs help?
[09:09] Nephy
I'm going back to my master.
[09:13] Manuela
A-Are you gonna be okay?
[09:16] Nephy
My master is very strong.
[09:18] Nephy
I'm sure there's no one who could beat him.
[09:21] Nephy
But... that doesn't mean he can't be hurt.
[09:25] Nephy
No one can truly be all right on their own.
[09:28] Nephy
I want to...
[09:30] Nephy
I want to be there, to support my master!
[09:35] Chastille
I see.
[09:36] Chastille
In that case, I should
see to my duty as well.
[09:41] Nephy
Are you going to try and fight him again?
[09:43] Chastille
Not that!
[09:45] Chastille
There's a sorcerer who has
impersonated Zagan in order to do evil.
[09:49] Chastille
I'm may not be in a position to defend him,
[09:52] Chastille
but I can see about clearing his name.
[09:56] Manuela
Well, now that you two are feeling
better, I think that's a wrap!
[10:00] Manuela
One bill, please, for the lady knight here!
[10:03] Server
Coming!
[10:05] Manuelas
I'm just joking! Relax!
[10:07] Manuelas
If you're ever in trouble again,
come and see me.
[10:11] Manuelas
I can at least listen to you complain.
[10:14] Manuelas
And in exchange, you can try
out a few outfits from my shop!
[10:18] Nephy
Miss Manuela... why are
you being so kind to me?
[10:22] Manuela
Because we're friends, duh!
[10:26] Nephy
Friends...?
[10:27] Manuela
Well, aren't we?
[10:29] Nephy
I don't know... No one has
ever said that to me before.
[10:34] Manuela
Then that makes me your first friend!
[10:37] Manuela
It's an honor!
[10:38] Nephy
R-Right...
[10:40] Chastille
Um...
[10:42] Chastille
Could I... also be one? A friend, I mean...
[10:48] Manuela
Is an Angelic Knight really allowed to
be friends with a sorcerer's associate?
[10:52] Chastille
But...
[10:56] Manuela
I wouldn't give you a hard time
if we weren't friends already!
[11:00] Chastille
Teasing is a part of friendship?

[11:05] Alfred

[11:12] Torres
Eek, she looked at me!
[11:14] Ryan
Calm down, Torres!
[11:16] Chastille
Of all the timing...
[11:18] Manuela
What's going on? Are these the
guys who hurt Nephy's master?
[11:23] Manuela
And you guys wonder why
people hate the Church!
[11:24] Chastille
I am a little curious as to
what your issue is with us!
[11:28] Torres
Where the plants?! Where are they?!
[11:30] Ryan
There are no plants in here, Torres!
[11:33] Chastille
Just calm down!
[11:35] Voice(Barbatos)
Everyone getting along. Isn't that sweet?
[11:41] Ryan
Wh-Who goes there?!
[11:43] Chastille
Run, Manuela!
[11:45] Manuela
Chastille!

One got away. No matter.

Zagan!

If you want these women back,
you will come to my castle.
[12:02] Nephy
Why are you doing this...
SIGN An Archdemon's Dilemma:
How to Love Your Elf Bride
[12:14] Zagan
I'd forgotten how quiet it can
get when you're on your own.
[12:19] Alfred
Impossible... The three Cerulean Knights
were helpless, even fighting as one...
[12:26] Zagan
It's your own fault for falling into one
of my traps when you ambushed me.
[12:31] Zagan
I didn't even need to do anything.
[12:33] Zagan
Come to think of it,
I made this trap with Nephy...
[12:42] Zagan
This is for the best.
[12:43] Zagan
Nephy only spent two weeks with me.
[12:47] Zagan
With a bit of distance, no one will dig
into our relationship and put her at risk.
[12:52] Zagan
The people in Kianoides are fond of her.
[12:56] Zagan
She should be able to live
a peaceful, pleasant life,
[12:59] Zagan
without having to worry about
sorcerers or the Church.

W-Wait...
[13:08] Alfred
I don't care what happens to us.
[13:11] Alfred
But... please, spare Lady Chastille!
[13:15] Alfred
She insisted you weren't
behind the kidnappings.
[13:18] Alfred
She was even willing to defy the His Eminence,
the cardinal, in order to find the true culprit!
[13:22] Alfred
You have to at least let her go!
[13:25] Zagan
Chastille? I'm not following you.

[13:42] Manuela
What exactly do you mean by "bird woman"?!
[13:45] Manuela
Mister Sorcerer, you've gotta help!
Nephy and Chastille have been kidnapped!
[13:50] Zagan
What?!
[13:52] Zagan
Did I take too long to
distance myself from her?
[13:56] Manuela
Please! You can save them, can't you?!
[13:59] Zagan
Yes, but...
[14:01] Zagan
If I openly rescue her,
it'll make her connection to me clear.
[14:06] Zagan
And if that happens,
the Church will never leave her alone.
[14:10] Manuela
What are you standing around for?!
[14:13] Manuela
Nephy was trying to go back to you!
[14:16] Zagan
Wha...
[14:16] Manuela
She wanted to stay with you!
[14:18] Manuela
She wanted to support you!
[14:21] Manuela
Do sorcerers not care when
someone feels that way about them?!
[14:27] Manuela
Because if so...
[14:28] Manuela
Why were you nice to her in the first place?!
[14:33] Zagan
This hurts... more than any
other attack against me before.
[14:37] Zagan
Nephy was trying to come back.
[14:39] Zagan
After I had said something so terrible...
[14:42] Zagan
Why? No, the truth is...
[14:45] Zagan
I don't even need to see those
expressive ears of hers to know.
[14:48] Zagan
She cares about me.
About a villain like me...
[14:55] Zagan
I owe you.
[14:56] Zagan
It's clear what I need to do.
[14:59] Zagan
You're right. All sorcerers are
absolute trash, without exception.
[15:04] Zagan
They only care about themselves.
[15:06] Zagan
They treat other people
like tools, if anything.
[15:09] Zagan
They consider life to be something disposable,
that will just replenish itself without any help.
[15:13] Manuela
What are you saying?
[15:15] Zagan
Yes, sorcerers should only consider
what benefits themselves most.
[15:22] Zagan
Nephy belongs to me.
[15:24] Zagan
And I'm going to turn whatever idiot
dared to touch her into a crimson mist.
[15:33] Zagan
It doesn't matter how dirty my hands are
or how corrupt sorcerers are by nature!
[15:40] Zagan
Even if takes all my authority and power as
an Archdemon to do it, I will protect her!
[15:51] Zagan
I'm going to save Nephy. Care to join me?

and we don't know where they've gone.
[16:13] Zagan
Not a problem.
[16:14] Zagan
I already know who's responsible.
[16:17] Zagan
Sorcerers really are beyond help.
[16:26] Nephy
Where am I?
[16:28] Chastille
You're awake, Nephy. Are you hurt?
[16:32] Nephy
Miss Chastille...
[16:35] Nephy
This collar and these manacles
are sealing my mana away.
[16:39] Nephy
Unlike the collar from before,
these aren't particularly sophisticated, but...
[16:44] Nephy
I'm not strong enough to break free.
[16:46] Nephy
Maybe mysticism...
[16:48] Nephy
No good. There's not enough
nature here for me to control.
[17:01] Nephy
I thought you were my master's friend,
[17:05] Nephy
Mister Barbatos.
[17:06] Barbatos
Friend?!
[17:09] Barbatos
Well, there's a shocker.
[17:10] Barbatos
Never thought I'd hear someone
using that word for sorcerers.
[17:15] Nephy
Why?
[17:18] Barbatos
Have you ever hear of a guy
called Andras the Accursed?
[17:21] Barbatos
That's the first sorcerer Zagan ever killed.
[17:24] Barbatos
And I happen to be his student.
[17:28] Barbatos
Whoa, there. Don't get any mixed up ideas.
[17:31] Barbatos
No sensible sorcerer would care
about avenging his teacher.
[17:35] Barbatos
If Zagan hadn't done it,
I would've killed him myself.
[17:40] Barbatos
The thing is...
[17:42] Barbatos
That castle he's shacked up in?
[17:44] Barbatos
All the money he spent on you?
[17:47] Barbatos
Even his knowledge, all of that
was supposed to have been mine.
[17:54] Barbatos
Can you really blame me for not wanting
to just sit back and let him take it all?
[17:58] Barbatos
I started off by siccing the Church on him,
[18:01] Barbatos
but that didn't work out.
[18:05] Barbatos
My goons ended up leaving
too much of a trail,
[18:08] Barbatos
and the ones I sent after Zagan
directly got their asses kicked.
[18:12] Chastille
Wait, then the one behind the kidnappings...
[18:15] Barbatos
Wow, you're just realizing that now?
[18:18] Chastille
You filth...
[18:21] Chastille
You committed those vile
acts just to entrap Zagan?!
[18:28] Barbatos
Don't be stupid.
[18:30] Barbatos
Facestealer was the one who came
up with the "sacrifice" business...
[18:35] Barbatos
That said, we did need the means
to perform a major ritual.
[18:41] Barbatos
One that would demonstrate to the 12
Archdemons that I am fit to join their ranks!
[18:47] Barbatos
And ensuring another candidate is out of the
picture is the more surefire way to pull that off!
[18:52] Barbatos
It was a shame when our sacrifices were
snatched back, but now I've got you.
[18:57] Barbatos
A white-haired elf's mana should
be plenty to open the door.
[19:01] Nephy
I'm sorry, but I don't think
there'll be any point.
[19:06] Barbatos
That's quite a claim.
[19:08] Barbatos
You think I won't kill you?
[19:10] Barbatos
Or that Zagan's gonna come and save you?
[19:14] Nephy
Master come to save me? No.
[19:17] Nephy
I wouldn't want Master to bother
with a matter like this.
[19:21] Nephy
That's not what I meant.
[19:26] Barbatos
Then what?
[19:27] Nephy
My master has already ascended
to the position of Archdemon.
[19:34] Barbatos
You're lying.
[19:35] Nephy
It's the truth. That's why he
released me from his service.
[19:44] Barbatos
Impossible... He's an Archdemon?!
[19:49] Barbatos
Not only did he steal Andras' fortune from me,
now he takes the Archdemon seat?!
[20:02] Barbatos
Come on!
[20:03] Barbatos
So he's an Archdemon?
[20:05] Barbatos
Fine, then! I'll just forcibly
take the title from him!
[20:09] Chastille
Nephy!
[20:11] Barbatos
Once this is complete...
[20:14] Barbatos
It won't matter if he's an Archdemon!
[20:19] Chastille
Stop! If you need a sacrifice, use me!
[20:22] Chastille
I'm a knight. I'm prepared to give my life!
[20:25] Barbatos
No need to rush. Your turn
will come soon enough.
[20:30] Barbatos
This ritual requires tools
of the highest quality.
[20:36] Nephy
Tools...
[20:37] Nephy
That's right. I've lived for so long
with people calling me that...
[20:41] Nephy
But...
[20:42] Nephy
My master never used that
word for me even once.
[20:49] Nephy
Let go!
[20:50] Nephy
I'm going to live and rejoin my master!
[20:53] Nephy
Even if he yells at me
or tries to chase me off,
[20:55] Nephy
I'll hunker down and stay in the castle!
[20:58] Nephy
I'll make food for him,
offer my lap as a pillow...
[21:01] Nephy
I'll do all the things that make him happy!
[21:05] Barbatos
This woman...
[21:08] Nephy
Maybe it doesn't need to be me who does it.
[21:11] Nephy
There may come a day where
someone else is precious to him.
[21:16] Nephy
But... you can't be on your own, Master!
[21:21] Nephy
This... doesn't hurt at all.
[21:25] Nephy
Not compared to when he told me to leave.
[21:28] Nephy
I belong to my master!
[21:30] Nephy
I don't want you touching me!
[21:34] Barbatos
You're just a slave.
[21:37] Barbatos
Know your place!
[21:48] Zagan
Well said, Nephy.
[21:53] Zagan
I'd expect nothing less from my apprentice.

My suspicions began when that
Facestealer sorcerer showed up.
[01:05] Zagan
I didn't think someone who'd beg for
their life after encountering me
[01:08] Zagan
would be capable of penetrating my barrier.
[01:11] Zagan
And only one person came to
mind when I thought about
[01:14] Zagan
who might be making a habit of
getting through my security.

SIGN Barbatos the Purgatory
[02:56] Zagan
That's what they call you.
[02:57] Zagan
Purgatory refers to the realm
between heaven and the underworld.
[03:01] Zagan
Applying that concept to your sorcery,
you create pocket dimensions,
[03:04] Zagan
which helps you specialize in
transportation and summoning.
[03:07] Zagan
You're even better at it than me.
[03:10] Zagan
And, just like the Facestealer,
you showed up after the Angelic Knights
[03:13] Zagan
paid me a visit, like you
were checking on the outcome.
[03:17] Zagan
I'd have to be crazy not to
suspect something after that.
[03:21] Barbatos
So you knew all along? And you still
had the nerve to serve me tea.
[03:26] Zagan
I was curious about what you were planning.
[03:30] Zagan
Now, more importantly...
[03:36] Zagan
You've hurt Nephy!

Sorry... that didn't hurt, did it?
[04:01] Nephy
It... did.
[04:08] Nephy
But...
[04:10] Nephy
You looked a lot more
hurt than I was, Master.
[04:16] Zagan
I did?
[04:17] Nephy
I don't know what has
happened to you, Master.
[04:21] Nephy
If you say you don't need me,
I should probably accept that.
[04:25] Nephy
But...
[04:28] Nephy
If you have been hurt,
then I know you're not okay!

Hey, asshole! I'm not dead yet,

[05:03] Zagan
It's fine.

What... is happening?
[05:22] Zagan
Do you remember me describing the
theoretical ultimate sorcery, before?
[05:27] Zagan
Adding circuits to a casting circle from
the inside, to overwrite the sorcery...
[05:32] Zagan
There's actually a little
trick that makes it possible.
[05:39] Zagan
If you use the exact same casting circle,
you can overwrite it from the inside.
[05:45] Zagan
By doing that...
[05:47] Zagan
The sorceries will undergo something
like a harmonic cancellation.
[05:51] Barbatos
Impossible... is this the
power of Andras' legacy?!
[05:56] Zagan
If he could manage something like
this, he would've never died.
[06:01] Zagan
The first time I used sorcery,
I was eight years old.
[06:05] Zagan
When he captured me, Andras the
Accursed made a casting circle.
[06:09] Zagan
I remembered what it looked like, and
secretly drew it on the palm of my hand.
[06:13] Zagan
With no other tools available,
I used my own blood.
[06:16] Zagan
Looking back now, it was a childish idea.
[06:19] Zagan
An amateur shouldn't be able to mimic
sorcery just by copying its form.
[06:24] Zagan
But when I got caught trying to escape,
and was about to be killed...
[06:39] Zagan
It must've been a fluke.
[06:41] Zagan
A miracle, only possible because I enacted the
same sorcery, in only a fraction of a second.
[06:48] Barbatos
Miracle my ass. You...
[06:51] Barbatos
What the hell are you?!
[07:03] Barbatos
This is impossible.
[07:04] Barbatos
Some of those were sorceries you
couldn't possibly have seen before!
[07:07] Barbatos
And you were able to overwrite
all of them in an instant?!
[07:11] Zagan
If that was your best shot, even an amateur
could manage it, with the right timing.
[07:15] Zagan
If you want to call yourself a sorcerer,
you've got a lot of room for improvement.
[07:19] Zagan
Improving sorceries that resonated with me
instead of simply reacting to them
[07:25] Zagan
was my first research project as a sorcerer.
[07:29] Zagan
And ever since, I've been cooped up in the
castle by myself, never talking to anyone,
[07:34] Zagan
not even my urchin friends
from my days on the street.
[07:37] Zagan
None of them came looking for me, either.
[07:40] Zagan
And yet...
[07:44] Zagan
You kept showing up.
SIGN Get out!
[07:49] Zagan
No matter how obvious I made my annoyance.
[07:52] (Flashback) Barbatos
Heyo!
[07:59] (Flashback) Barbatos
Hi...
SIGN Slap!
[08:04] Barbatos
I could have killed you at any time.
[08:07] Barbatos
I was just curious to see what a
brat like you was doing in there!
[08:12] Zagan
Then let me show you.
[08:15] Zagan
Can you tell? I've converted all the casting
circles you opened up with into this.
[08:21] Zagan
Right now it only works as
physical enhancement sorcery,
[08:25] Zagan
but I intend on developing it further.
[08:28] Barbatos
You... devoured my sorcery?!
[08:32] Zagan
Devouring sorcery...
[08:34] Zagan
That really is a good way of putting it.
[08:36] Zagan
I can see why you were previously
an Archdemon candidate.
[08:40] Zagan
That reminds me, Barbatos the Purgatory...
[08:44] Zagan
Now that I'm an Archdemon,
I have a title of my own.
[08:49] (Flashback) Archdemon A
Let us welcome our new comrade...
[08:52] (Flashback) Archdemon A
And let us grant him his second name.
[08:56] (Flashback) Archdemon A
You will be known as...
[08:58] (Flashback) Archdemon A
The Sorcerer Slayer!
[09:00] Zagan
That's what they call me.
[09:16] Barbatos
He's already eaten all my
defensive sorceries....
[09:20] Barbatos
And I've never known anyone who could outdo
him in terms of physical enhancement!
[09:25] Barbatos
Which means...
[09:27] Barbatos
Even if I were an Archdemon, I wouldn't
be able to stop a punch from him.
[09:35] Barbatos
Wait... please! You win.
[09:42] Barbatos
I swear... I'll never show
my face to you again.
[09:46] Barbatos
And I'll give you all of
my knowledge... just...
[09:56] Barbatos
Zagan... we're friends, right?
[10:01] Zagan
Friends?
[10:03] Zagan
Can a sorcerer even conceive of that idea?
[10:11] Manuela
Chastille!
[10:19] Zagan
I'm just playing. No need to panic!
[10:23] Barbatos
What... do you think you're doing?
[10:25] Zagan
I mean, I guess I could kill you,
[10:28] Zagan
but that would mean not being
treated to good liquor anymore.
[10:31] Zagan
I don't have a good eye
for the stuff, myself.
[10:33] Barbatos
Are you showing me mercy?
[10:36] Zagan
I believe this kind of thing
is called "confidence."
[10:39] Barbatos
Screw you!
[10:41] Barbatos
If you let me live, I swear
I'll kill you! I guarantee it!
[10:45] Barbatos
Until I see you dead, I'll never give up!
[10:48] Zagan
That's fine. As long as drinks
are on you every time I win.
[10:53] Barbatos
What are you... even saying?
[10:56] Barbatos
What could a sorcerer gain
from not killing an enemy?
[11:00] Zagan
That's the thing...
[11:01] Zagan
An Archdemon being bound by convention
is a little ridiculous, isn't it?
[11:06] Zagan
I'm going to do whatever I want.
[11:08] Zagan
If I want Nephy to live openly in the world,
[11:11] Zagan
then I'll just have to seize control of it.
[11:16] Zagan
Which is why I won't kill you, either.
[11:18] Zagan
If you don't like that, you need to get
strong enough to force me to change my mind.
[11:25] Barbatos
You're an arrogant bastard.
[11:27] Zagan
What kind of Archdemon
would I be if I wasn't?
[11:41] Zagan
Come on, Barbatos, are you serious?
[11:44] Barbatos
No... this isn't me.
[11:49] Zagan
When I punched the ground,
[11:51] Zagan
I must've subconsciously engaged
with this casting circle!
[11:56] Zagan
Nephy, run!
[11:58] Zagan
All of you!
[12:01] Chastille
What's happening?!
[12:09] Zagan
What is this bizarre swell of mana?
[12:15] Zagan
Barbatos, what were you trying to do here?!
[12:19] Barbatos
I was planning on summoning... a true demon.
[12:23] Zagan
A demon?!
SIGN An Archdemon's Dilemma:
How to Love Your Elf Bride
[12:47] Zagan
Demons.
[12:49] Zagan
They're said to have existed in this world
in ancient times before leaving it.
[12:54] Zagan
There's no proof they ever actually existed,
[12:57] Zagan
but there are theories that the symbols used
in sorcery, as well as those of the Church,
[13:01] Zagan
were passed down to
mortals by gods or devils.
[13:06] Zagan
And you were able to summon one of them?!
[13:21] Zagan
This is... a "shadow."
[13:24] Zagan
No sacrifice and a haphazard activation
must've resulted in an imperfect summoning.
[13:29] Zagan
And in spite of that...
[13:36] Zagan
It's over.
[13:38] Zagan
We can't win.
[13:40] Zagan
Even when I was facing down the Archdemons,
the pressure wasn't this intense.
[13:46] Zagan
This thing... is beyond humankind.
[13:50] Zagan
No matter how much power we might gain,
[13:52] Zagan
it looks like mortals simply
can't compare to gods and demons.
[14:00] Zagan
Am I going to die?
[14:07] Demon Shadow
My king... by your command...
[14:15] Zagan
It's... bowing to me?

Wait, no.

[14:27] Zagan
In that case, take your leave!

Yeah, okay.

[16:55] Nephy
I would like to remain at your side.
[16:59] Zagan
Are you sure? You don't have to...
[17:04] Nephy
I want to be with you, Master.
[17:07] Zagan
Well... you've become stronger, haven't you?
[17:11] Zagan
But some things will have to change.
[17:18] Zagan
There's something I need to tell her.
[17:20] Zagan
I hurt you, Nephy, but I won't
ever leave you alone again.
[17:25] Zagan
I swear to protect you. So...
[17:29] Zagan
I want you to call me by
my name, not "Master."
[17:33] Zagan
Not a slave, or my servant, or my apprentice.
[17:36] Zagan
I want something else for us!
[17:39] Nephy
Y-You mean...
[17:41] Zagan
I'm saying... I...
[17:46] Zagan

[17:48] Zagan
lo...
[17:50] Zagan
Ugh!
[17:52] Zagan
You belong to me!
[17:54] Zagan
And you always will! Forever!
Until one of us dies!
[17:57] Zagan
No, even after that!
[18:07] Zagan
Why can't I say something
as simple as "I love you"?!
[18:14] Nephy
Yes!
[18:15] Zagan
Nephy... smiled.
[18:21] Nephy
Could you please put this back on me?
[18:25] Zagan
No, that's a bad idea. It's a slave collar.
[18:28] Nephy
But I want it. Considering
it's how Master and I...
[18:33] Nephy
How Lord Zagan and
I first became connected.
[18:37] Zagan
Very well.
[18:42] Zagan
It's a bit imposing for an
engagement ring, but,
[18:46] Zagan
I suppose this still makes us...
[18:58] Nephy
Um, Lord Zagan?
[19:01] Nephy
What exactly is our relationship if I'm not
your slave, servant, or apprentice anymore?
[19:08] Zagan
I wish I knew!
[19:12] Zagan
Could someone please tell me?
[19:20] Zagan
I'm an Archdemon with a dilemma...
[19:23] Zagan
How do I love my elf bride?
[19:31] Townperson A
Hey, did you hear? There's a new Archdemon!
[19:34] Townsperson B
Yeah, the sorcerer that lives
in the Lost Woods, right?
[19:37] Townsperson B
With the scary face.
[19:38] townsperson C
But he's supposed to be a decent sort.
[19:41] Townperson D
Yeah, I heard he saved
someone from some brigands.
[19:45] Kimaris
Everyone's talking about the new Archdemon.
[19:49] Gremory
A toast to the newly crowned
young Archdemon, then.
[19:52] Kimaris
It doesn't bother you?
[19:54] Kimaris
I had thought you were certain to be
the next Archdemon, Gremory.
[19:58] Gremory
Hardly.
[20:00] Kimaris
Try not to get too drunk so early in the day.
[20:03] Gremory
Just you watch, Kimaris.
[20:06] Gremory
Things are going to change around here.
[20:09] Townsperson E
If he's replacing Marchosias, does that
mean he's the new lord of Kianoides?
[20:14] Townsperson F
I've seen him come to town to shop in person,
even though he's an Archdemon.
[20:18] Townsperson G
And he's always got a beautiful elf with him.
[20:21] Townperson H
Oh, right!
[20:22] Townperson H
Is that his girlfriend? Or maybe his wife?
[20:26] Townperson H
Oh, sorry!
[20:30] Townperson G
Watch it, idiot!
[20:35] Clavwell
And you won't reconsider?
[20:38] Chastille
No, sir.
[20:39] Clagvwell
You refuse to lead the hunt for
the 13th Archdemon, Zagan?
[20:44] Chastille
He's saved my life twice.
[20:47] Chastille
I cannot betray that.
[20:49] Chastille
Cardinal Clavwell.
[20:51] Chastille
As I've testified, he was not involved
in the string of kidnappings.
[20:55] Chastille
He is innocent.
[20:57] Clavwell
You'd defend a sorcerer?
[20:59] Clavwell
Such words carry grave weight.
[21:03] Chastille
I am aware.
[21:04] Clavwell
I see. In that case...
[21:07] Clavwell
Chastille Lillqvist.
[21:10] Clavwell
You are hereby relieved of your position
as an Angelic Knight indefinitely.
[21:15] Chastille
They care more about censuring their
own than dealing with the Archdemons.
[21:19] Chastille
It seems the Church has hit a new low.
[21:24] Alfred
Please, Cardinal Clavwell!
This punishment is too much!
[21:27] Torres
We ask that you consider
Lady Chastille's past accomplishments!
[21:31] Ryan
And the loss of one of the
Sacred Swords during the ascent
[21:36] Ryan
of a new Archdemon will only sow chaos!
[21:39] Chastille
Enough, you three!
[21:45] Chastille
That man never once strayed
from what he believed in.
[21:54] Chastille
I want to be able to do the same!

Along with my authority as a
commander of Angelic Knights,
[00:09] Chastille
I hereby relinquish my Sacred Sword.
[00:14] Chastille
When I was given the power of the Sacred Sword,
I was proud to use it protect people.
[00:20] Chastille
But at some point, I was simply
doing the Church's bidding,
[00:24] Chastille
unable to swing a sword
of my own accord anymore.
[00:28] Chastille
Which is why... this is for the best.
[00:31] Clavwell
Chastille, please do not look so forlorn.
[00:36] Clavwell
Do I really seem completely unmoved

It will take time, but eventually,
your punishment will be rescinded.

like this would ordinarily be unthinkable.

There are still people in the Church

I thought I might be able
to surprise you, Lord Zagan.
[04:38] Zagan
To what end?
[04:42] Nephy
I hadn't thought about that...
[04:45] Nephy
But you've been looking exhausted
from all of your research lately.
[04:49] Nephy
So, I...
[04:53] Zagan
She was trying to cheer me up?
[04:55] Zagan
If anything, the depths of her
cuteness are what's surprising!
[04:58] Zagan
What am I supposed to do
when you're so adorable?!
[05:01] Zagan
So, did you need anything?

Oh, right.

The appetizer is a tomato and green vegetable

She's got more new recipes...
[05:24] Zagan
I'm curious, what's Caesar dressing?
[05:27] Nephy
Well, from what Miss Manuela told me,
a sorcerer named Caesar Kaldia came up with it.
[05:34] Nephy
He's a rather unique individual whose studies
focused on flavors instead of eternal life.
[05:39] Nephy
He's said to have laid the
foundation of modern cooking.

I've prepared a pudding.
[06:08] Zagan
Pudding?
[06:09] Nephy
Miss Manuela taught me about it.
[06:12] Nephy
It's a treat made with eggs and cream.
[06:15] Zagan
She's really taken you under her wings.
[06:17] Zagan
She hasn't done anything
weird to you, has she?
[06:19] Nephy
It's all right. She just had me try
some embarrassing outfits on.
[06:24] Zagan
I don't see how that's all right!
[06:27] Nephy
Isn't it fine, since she's the only one
who gets to see what it looks like?
[06:30] Zagan
That's not really the point...
[06:36] Zagan
How... do I eat this?
[06:39] Nephy
Just use the spoon I set out.
[06:47] Zagan
So sweet!
[06:49] Nephy
Yes!
[06:50] Zagan
The outside world is so vast... I had no
idea such a sweet, joyous flavor existed.
[07:02] Zagan
We've got a visitor.
[07:03] Nephy
Should I greet them?
[07:05] Zagan
No, it's fine. Leave it.

This is an impatient one.
[07:25] Zagan
And they made it through all
my traps. Not bad at all.

That would be nice, but that's a separate

[09:17] Nephy
She's just unconscious.
[09:19] Zagan
R-Right...
[09:21] Zagan
She's not dead or anything.
[09:22] Nephy
No.
[09:26] Zagan
Good grief...
[09:27] Zagan
This is one troublesome intruder.
[09:32] Nephy
Lord Zagan, you really are kind.
[09:38] Nephy
I never thought I was going
to use this guest room,
[09:41] Nephy
but it's a good thing I had it cleaned up
in case one of your friends came by.
[09:46] Nephy
It really is.
[09:49] For
Where am I?
[09:55] For
You!
[09:57] Zagan
You owe Nephy some thanks.
[09:59] Zagan
Without her, I would've twisted your
head off your neck and thrown it out.
[10:03] Zagan
Not that I would ever do
something like that around her.
[10:10] For
Why?
[10:11] Zagan
Why what?
[10:12] For
I came here to kill you.
[10:16] For
I'm your enemy. Why let me live?
[10:19] Zagan
Like I said, Nephy saved you.
[10:22] Zagan
So you get to live. It's that simple.
[10:25] Zagan
Why did you attack me, anyway?
[10:29] For
I wanted power...
[10:32] For
Because I'm weak.
[10:35] Zagan
I see. I do agree that power
is necessary for survival.
[10:39] Zagan
Why go after me, of all the
possible targets, then?
[10:42] For
You're the newest Archdemon...
[10:45] For
And since you're known as the Sorcerer Slayer,
[10:49] For
I thought I could beat you
if I didn't use sorcery.
[10:51] Zagan
It's true that I can't neutralize your
racial abilities, since they're not sorcery.
[10:57] Nephy
Her race?
[10:58] Zagan
Durable scales...
[11:00] Zagan
Photonic breath.
[11:02] Zagan
You're a dragon, aren't you?
[11:04] Zagan
I'm surprised to encounter a living one.
[11:07] Zagan
It's said that dragons can
live for hundreds, thousands,
[11:10] Zagan
and in some cases,
even tens of thousands of years.
[11:14] For
Because...
[11:16] Zagan
Something about this is off-putting.
[11:19] Zagan
She's got no grand ambition or
vendetta. This is more like...
[11:23] Zagan
I know!
[11:25] Zagan
That's what she reminds of!
[11:26] Zagan
She's just like me when I got
caught stealing food as a kid!
[11:30] Zagan
I would go after easy-looking marks,
SIGN I want some bread
SIGN You little thief!
[11:34] Zagan
and instead I ended up taking a beating,
and almost broke down in tears.
SIGN I want power
[11:37] Zagan
Of course. Before being a
sorcerer or a dragon, she's a kid.
[11:43] Zagan
Which means there's only
one appropriate response.
[11:47] Zagan
You challenged an Archdemon.
[11:49] Zagan
That means you must be punished.
[11:52] Nephy
Lord Zagan—
[11:53] Zagan
I command you...
[11:54] Zagan
To assist Nephy for a week!
[12:00] Zagan
While she's helping out, I can teach
her what is and isn't allowed.
[12:04] Zagan
Morality isn't my thing, but I can teach
her how to behave, even as a villain.
[12:10] Zagan
If she makes the same mistake
after that, then it's not on me.
[12:16] For
You're not going to eat me?
[12:20] Zagan
I know I look like a bad guy,
but even for someone like me,
[12:23] Zagan
being treated like a literal
child-eater hurts...
[12:26] For
Humans think that eating
dragon flesh will make them stronger.
[12:31] Nephy
Is that true?
[12:33] Zagan
Bathe in dragon blood for immortality.
[12:36] Zagan
Devour their flesh for infinite mana.
[12:40] Zagan
Process their bones into
elixirs that can cure any illness.
[12:43] Zagan
There have been legends like
that since ancient times.
[12:47] Zagan
I guess that's why she hid her identity.
[12:50] Zagan
But don't make me laugh.
[12:52] Zagan
All I would get from devouring a
brat like you is a nasty aftertaste.
SIGN Ugh...
[12:59] Zagan
This is why I hate kids.
[13:02] Zagan
Thinking back,
[13:03] Zagan
what did the other older kids who
grew up amongst the garbage do?
[13:18] Zagan
Nephy. Do we have any leftovers from lunch?
[13:25] For
What are you planning?
[13:27] Zagan
Are you unfamiliar with
the concept of charity?
[13:30] Zagan
It's something that the
strong offer the weak.
[13:35] Zagan
For the record, I hate
people who waste food.
[13:41] Zagan
And when it's food made by Nephy...
[13:44] Zagan
I kill them.
[13:57] For
It's so good...
[13:59] Zagan
Obviously. Nephy made it.
[14:02] Nephy
Thank you.
[14:13] Zagan
I'm heading back to the library.
[14:15] Zagan
Once you finish eating,
help Nephy with what she needs.
[14:17] For
W-Wait!
[14:19] For
What if I were to attack this woman?
[14:23] For
Even if I didn't, I could escape...
[14:25] Zagan
Suit yourself.
[14:27] Zagan
I'm sure you realize what'll happen if you
try to run, now that I know your secret.
[14:35] Zagan
Besides...
[14:36] Zagan
You've got the wrong idea.
[14:38] Zagan
Nephy is much stronger than you.
SIGN An Archdemon's Dilemma:
How to Love Your Elf Bride
[14:49] Zagan
I told her to suit herself, but...
[14:51] Zagan
I hope things don't actually get dangerous.
[14:54] Nephy
Miss Valefor, could you
take care of this laundry?
[14:58] Nephy
I'll fold them later.
[15:01] For
Did you make that soup, Nephy?
[15:04] Nephy
Yes.
[15:05] For
It was... good.
[15:07] Nephy
I'm glad to hear it.
[15:09] Nephy
You're also free to use anything
in your room, Miss Valefor.
[15:13] For
You can call me... For.
[15:19] Nephy
Okay, For.
[15:20] Nephy
Are you afraid of Lord Zagan, For?
[15:24] For
Not his face. If his mouth were wider,
I'd even say he was handsome.
SIGN Graaargh
[15:30] Nephy
I... see?
[15:33] Zagan
I guess that's a dragon's sense of beauty.
[15:35] For
His power is scary.
[15:37] For
I didn't stand a chance.
[15:39] Nephy
It's okay. Lord Zagan doesn't wield
his power without a good reason.
[15:44] Zagan
Is that really true?
[15:45] Zagan
I've vaporized my fair share
of bandits and sorcerers.
[15:49] For
Right. He didn't show even
a glimpse of his true power.
[15:53] For
Such a strange human.
[15:55] Nephy
He's a very mysterious person.
[16:00] Nephy
What are you going to do after this, For?
[16:03] For
I don't know.
[16:05] For
I'm too weak to target one
of the other Archdemons.
[16:09] Nephy
You must really need power then?
[16:12] For
Yes.
[16:13] Zagan
I thought dragons would be some of
the most patient creatures to exist.
[16:18] Zagan
What's a dragon child doing in a human
settlement acting like a sorcerer, anyway?
[16:23] For
Nephy, why do you obey that man?
[16:27] Nephy
I came here when Lord Zagan bought me.
[16:30] Nephy
But he treats me like a person, not a slave.
[16:36] Nephy
Which is why... this is where I want to be.
[16:41] Nephy
Do you have a place like that, For?
[16:45] For
No.
[16:55] Zagan
This is why I hate kids.
[16:59] Zagan
In the following days,
[17:01] Zagan
Valefor slowly began to relax and
started working without complaints.
[17:10] Zagan
No clues.
[17:12] Zagan
I'll need to head back
to Marchosias' lair...
[17:14] Zagan
His Archdemon castle and
take another look around.
[17:17] Zagan
I have a hard time believing
that a millennia-old Archdemon
[17:19] Zagan
would have no interest at all in true demons.
[17:22] Zagan
In that case, could he
have hidden what he learned?
[17:25] Zagan
The input of a sorcerer with a
different perspective would help.
[17:29] For
Dinner's ready.
[17:31] Zagan
I see. Be right there.
[17:36] For
You...
[17:37] For
Don't think I might attack
you with your back turned?
[17:42] (Flashback) Barbatos
If you let me live, I swear
I'll kill you! I guarantee it!
[17:47] (Flashback) Barbatos
Until I see you dead, I'll never give up!
[17:51] Zagan
Someone said something
very similar to me recently.
[17:55] Zagan
I told him to bring it on
whenever he wanted to.
[17:59] Zagan
Which is why you get the same answer.
[18:02] Zagan
I'm ready whenever you are.
[18:04] Zagan
And when you lose, you'll end up
working for me even longer.
[18:12] Nephy
Do you like it, For?
[18:18] For
Zagan.
[18:20] For
I'm... sorry I interrupted your meal before.
[18:26] For
You were eating Nephy's cooking...
and I got in the way.
[18:29] For
It's natural you got angry.
[18:32] Zagan
As long as you understand!
[18:36] Zagan
I think she'll be fine now.
[18:38] Zagan
Nephy.
[18:39] Nephy
Yes?
[18:40] Zagan
I'm thinking of taking her to
investigate the Archdemon's castle.
[18:45] For
Are you crazy?! That'd be like sharing the
former Archdemon's knowledge with me!
[18:52] For
Just like earlier!
[18:54] For
You let me into your library,
where your vital secrets are kept!
[18:57] For
Didn't it occur to you I might steal them?!
[19:00] Zagan
I don't really care. Go ahead.
[19:02] Zagan
I consider techniques and knowledge
things that are meant to be stolen.
[19:06] Zagan
I killed and stole the knowledge of
this castle's original owner, anyway.
[19:11] For
I don't understand you.
[19:13] For
You could force me to obey
you. So why don't you?
[19:17] Zagan
Because it'd make Nephy sad!
[19:20] Zagan
It doesn't matter how long-lived you are as a
dragon or how skilled of a sorcerer you are.
[19:24] Zagan
In here, you're just a kid.
[19:27] Zagan
And kids should behave like kids, which
includes acting out when they feel like it.
[19:32] Zagan
There's no one here that'll
hold that against you.
[19:37] Zagan
Wait, was that me? Did I make her cry?
[19:40] For
A kid...
SIGN Floof
[19:43] Zagan
S-Stop crying!

[19:51] For
I'm not... crying.
SIGN Floof
SIGN Floof
[19:53] Zagan
Granted, obeying an Archdemon
would have its upsides for you.
[19:59] Zagan
Dragon or not, someone would have to be a
fool to risk upsetting me by going after you, kid.
[20:06] For
Okay.
[20:08] For
But... I'm not "kid."
[20:12] For
You can call me For, too, Zagan.
[20:20] Zagan
Unbelievable... falling asleep
right after eating.
[20:25] Zagan
I guess kids will be kids,
even if they're dragons.
[20:27] Nephy
I think after you demonstrated you're
not an enemy, she relaxed, Lord Zagan.
[20:32] Nephy
It was the same way for me
when I first got here.
[20:36] Zagan
W-Well, you know how it is.
[20:38] Zagan
You belong to me! So of course
I'm going to take good care of you.
[20:42] Nephy
Yes. Thank you.
[20:45] Zagan
I treated her like an object again!
[21:00] For
Father...
[21:03] Zagan
Is she dreaming about her parents?
[21:09] Zagan
What is it?
[21:10] Nephy
It's like... we have a child now.
[21:15] Zagan
Ch...
[21:16] Zagan
Ch-Ch-Child?!
[21:20] Nephy
I-I didn't mean it like that!
[21:21] Nephy
It's just, you seem to be taking an
interest in her well-being, so, well...
[21:24] Zagan
Oh, right, I-I understand!
I get it. Don't worry!
SIGN Phew
[21:35] Zagan
A child, a family...
[21:38] Zagan
It might be absurd for an Archdemon like me to
yearn for a normal idea of happiness, and yet...

[00:03] For
My name is Valefor.
[00:06] For
It's been one week since I was taken
into confinement by an Archdemon.
SIGN Valefor's Archdemon Observation Log
[00:15] For
With my roommate, Nephy,
[00:18] For
I've been doing work like cleaning,
laundry, and preparing food.
[00:23] For
It's tiring, but no real pain.
[00:25] For
Mostly because if I do
good work, I get praised.
[00:31] For
I have to say, I don't understand the
Archdemon and Nephy's relationship.
[00:36] For
Every morning, Nephy goes to him.
[00:40] For
After staring at the Archdemon's face in the
throne room, she begins her work for the day.
[00:46] For
I once decided to get closer
to see what she was doing,
[00:49] For
but it looked like she was just
watching him from different angles.
[00:53] For
As she did, Nephy's pointy
ears started to wiggle.
[00:59] For
Then, she said in a quiet voice...
[01:02] (Flashback) Nephy
Tomorrow will be the day.
[01:03] For
I thought that was interesting
so I've made a note of it.
[01:08] For
Even if I don't understand why.
[01:11] For
The Archdemon spends all day inside his
library reading through sorcery books.
[01:16] For
He also gives Nephy, who's his apprentice,
hands-on lessons in sorcery.
[01:24] For
Another thing I don't understand
is why she sits on his lap.
[01:29] For
He also keeps reaching out to Nephy's
silver hair before pulling his hand away
[01:33] For
in this weird motion, over and over.
[01:36] For
Nephy looks anxious about it but not upset.
[01:44] For
I wondered if I had seen something
I shouldn't have and braced myself for death.
[01:49] For
But...
[01:51] For
It doesn't look like
I'm going to be punished.
[01:55] For
I wonder what I saw, then?
[01:57] Nephy
I still don't have any answers.
[02:00] Nephy
Still, living here gives me
a warm feeling in my chest.
[02:07] Nephy
And tomorrow, they're taking me
to the old Archdemon's castle.

[03:49] Manuela
So cute!
[03:52] Manuela
I've even impressed with myself!
[03:55] Manuela
Can I take her home with me?!
[03:56] Manuela
Wait, other way around!
Can you leave her here with me?!
[04:00] Zagan
Simmer down!
[04:01] Zagan
And she's not an object!
I'm not handing her off!
[04:06] Manuela
Thanks for shopping with us! Come again!
[04:09] Zagan
Going to her store is always exhausting.
[04:10] Manuela
I'll be waiting!
[04:12] Nephy
But I think we made the right choice
going to Miss Manuela's store.
[04:17] Zagan
Well, she can't wander around in that armor.
[04:20] Zagan
And considering she only had
undergarments beneath her robe...
[04:23] Nephy
Not that.
[04:25] Nephy
Look.
[04:34] Nephy
I think she likes her new outfit.
[04:36] For
Zagan.
[04:38] For
Thank you.
[04:41] Zagan
W-Well, I'm glad you like it.
[04:50] Zagan
What is this feeling?
[04:52] Zagan
It's different from how I care
for Nephy, but oddly warm...
[04:59] Zagan
Wait... is this a protective instinct?!
[05:03] Zagan
Ridiculous. The idea of me developing
that kind of sentiment...
[05:08] Zagan
If Barbatos heard about this,
he'd be worried about my head.
[05:20] Chastille
I'm such a fool.
[05:23] Chastille
I had to return my Sacred Sword.
I can't wear anointed armor.
[05:27] Chastille
But...
[05:28] Chastille
My withdrawal will cause a major delay
in the manhunt for the new Archdemon.
[05:33] Chastille
Although I doubt he'd ever
be grateful to me for it.
[05:38] Chastille
Why did I feel compelled to do it, though?
[05:42] Chastille
I don't intend on getting
between the two of them.
[05:46] Chastille
But I do want to see them living peacefully,
[05:49] Chastille
and one day start a family,
enjoying their lives together.
[05:56] Chastille
And then... even if it's just occasionally,
[06:00] Chastille
I'd be honored if they'd
remember me once in a while.
[06:06] Chastille
I bet Zagan would be a doting father.
[06:11] Zagan
Enjoying the new outfit?
[06:11] Chastille
He's a kind man, deep down.
[06:13] For
Yeah.
[06:14] Chastille
Yeah, just like that...
[06:17] Chastille
Wait, Z-Zagan?!
[06:20] Zagan
You...
[06:22] Chastille
You two already went as
far as to have a child?!
[06:27] Zagan
D-D-Don't be so shameless! Nephy and
I haven't done anything like that yet!
[06:32] Chastille
Wait, "yet"?
[06:34] For
Zagan, who is this?
[06:36] Zagan
Oh, sorry. That's a good point.
[06:42] Zagan
Who are you?
[06:44] Chastille
That's...
[06:46] Chastille
You don't even remember me...
[06:49] Nephy
Lord Zagan, Lord Zagan! It's Miss Chastille!
[06:53] Zagan
Oh, right, you! You were dressed differently
than usual, so I didn't realize.
[06:58] Zagan
This is a friend of Nephy's.
[07:00] Zagan
Why are you dressed like that?
[07:02] Chastille
W-Well...
[07:04] Alfred
Lady Chastille!
[07:06] Alfred
It's dangerous to run around
on your own like this!
[07:08] Alfred
Wait, it's Zagan!
[07:10] Zagan
Oh, it's the Three Cerulean Nerds.
[07:13] Trio
Three Cerulean Knights!
[07:15] Ryan
What were you doing to Lady Chastille?!
[07:18] Zagan
Not a thing, really—
[07:24] Zagan
Don't.
[07:27] For
Why not?
[07:28] Zagan
Nephy has a lot of friends in this town.
A fight will lead to casualties.
[07:37] Alfred
Come along, Lady Chastille!
Cardinal Clavwell is calling for you.
[07:41] Chastille
Cardinal Clavwell?
[07:42] Ryan
Please, worry more about your self!
[07:44] Chastille
Hey, wait...
[07:45] Ryan
Come, right this way!
[07:47] Chastille
Fine, just stop pushing me!
[07:47] Nephy
Do you think Miss Chastille will be all right?
[07:49] Zagan
Hard to say.
[07:51] Zagan
But she's got plenty of support and
other people she can count on.
[07:57] Zagan
Being a sorcerer, if I got involved,
it'd make her position more precarious.
[08:02] Zagan
I'm curious, For.
Did they do something to you?
[08:06] For
Does a sorcerer really need a
reason to hate the Angelic Knights?
[08:10] Zagan
No. It's perfectly natural.
[08:15] Zagan
Here's hoping this doesn't
lead to more trouble.
[08:26] Zagan
This is the Archdemon's castle.
[08:28] For
I can't believe there's a building
like this underground.
[08:31] Zagan
It was probably constructed on the surface.
[08:34] Zagan
Marchosias most likely used
sorcery to lower it down.
[08:40] For
Something about it smells familiar.
[08:43] Zagan
What?
[08:44] For
I think...
[08:47] For
that dragons used to live here.
[08:49] Zagan
Are you certain?
[08:50] For
The way the cave is shaped reminds
me of the one I used to live in.
[08:54] For
The smell of the mana, too.
[08:56] Zagan
Okay, see if you can find anything
connected to dragons inside the castle.
[09:00] Zagan
You can take any books you want.
[09:02] For
Okay.
[09:31] For
Zagan, what is that?
[09:33] Zagan
Some kind of golem or chimera.
[09:35] Zagan
A creature created with sorcery, in any case.
[09:38] Nephy
Was it meant to guard this place?
[09:40] Zagan
Most likely.
[09:41] Zagan
But with Marchosias dead,
it's stopped functioning.
[09:46] Zagan
We'd better not risk it activating
by touching it. Come on.
[09:50] For
R-Right.
[09:57] For
Zagan, what about that casting circle?
[09:59] Zagan
What do you mean?
[10:01] For
It's got draconic patterns.
[10:04] Zagan
Really?!
[10:05] For
Yeah.
[10:06] For
I found it for you.
[10:08] Zagan
Right. Good work, For.
[10:12] For
Zagan praised me!
[10:15] Nephy
That's great, For.
[10:19] Zagan
Can you tell what it's function is?
[10:21] For
I think it's hiding a door or something.
[10:24] Zagan
Can you open it?
[10:26] For
Yeah.
[10:34] Zagan
What is it?
[10:35] Nephy
Well, I just...
[10:41] Zagan
This is...
[10:43] Zagan
She wants something?
[10:45] Zagan
But what?
[10:48] Zagan
Oh, I see!
[10:51] Zagan
Nephy.

Don't... move.

She must've gotten jealous when
she saw me pat For on the head.

She never acted like that when
it was just the two of us.

This isn't bad at all.

[11:20] Zagan
Wh-What is it, For?!
[11:22] For
It's open.
[11:23] Zagan
R-Right, good work!
[11:44] Zagan
I see.
[11:46] Zagan
Looks like this is the real deal.
[11:53] Zagan
Our goal is to gather any books that have
accounts of demons or the Archdemon crests.
[11:59] Nephy
Understood.
[12:04] Zagan
What is it?
[12:05] For
Zagan, can you read people's minds?
[12:10] Zagan
Good question. I wonder...
[12:12] For
You were able to tell what Nephy
wanted earlier without asking.
[12:17] Zagan
Oh... Nephy always gives me clues.
[12:22] Zagan
I need to be able to pick up
on them, for my sake.
[12:26] For
I'm kinda jealous.
[12:29] Zagan
Not sure why you're acting like an outsider.
[12:32] Zagan
I don't know how long dragons live, but
Marchosias was around for a thousand years.
[12:37] Zagan
I'm sure you'll be able to tell what people
want without asking if you live that long, too.
[12:44] For
A thousand years...
[12:45] For
And I can stay with you?
[12:47] Zagan
I won't stop you if you try to leave.
[12:53] For
I'm staying here!

This really isn't like me...

"The 12 Sacred Swords."
[13:06] Zagan
Let me see that!
[13:12] Zagan
I knew it!
[13:13] Zagan
When I saw the Archdemon crest, I thought
I had seen something similar before...
[13:19] Zagan
It's the writing that's engraved
on the Sacred Swords!
[13:21] Zagan
It's not exactly the same, but I can tell
they're scripts that come from the same source.
[13:27] Zagan
You've done it, For!
[13:29] Zagan
This means...
[13:30] Zagan
If I learn more about Sacred Swords,
I can find out about the Archdemon crests!
SIGN An Archdemon's Dilemma:
How to Love Your Elf Bride
[13:50] Chastille
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance...
[13:53] Chastille
Lord of the Angelic Knights,
Sir Raphael Hyurandell.
[13:57] Raphael
And you must be the Maiden of the
Sacred Sword I've heard so much about.
[14:02] Raphael
I was informed you'd been relieved
of duty for defying orders,
[14:05] Raphael
but you've got a good look to you.
[14:08] Chastille
Your praise honors me.
[14:10] Raphael
So...
[14:12] Raphael
How many sorcerers have you slain?
[14:16] Chastille
Straight to the point, huh?
[14:19] Chastille
The wielder of a Sacred Sword who has
slain the greatest number of sorcerers...
[14:23] Chastille
He'd gladly take my head
after my act of apostasy.
[14:27] Chastille
So be it, then!
[14:29] Chastille
I do not believe that to
be a number to boast about.
[14:35] Ryan
Lady Chastille! Please, speak more carefully!
[14:38] Torres
I'm not sure how much we can protect you!
[14:41] Alfred
This is pitiful!
[14:42] Alfred
Haven't we all pledged to give our
lives to protect Lady Chastille?!
[14:49] Raphael
It's been a long time since I've met anyone
who'd dare talk to me like that.
[14:53] Raphael
And you might be the first woman to do it.
[14:57] Raphael
You can take that honor
with you to the afterlife.
[15:02] Alfred
Please run, Lady Chastille!
[15:03] Clavwell
Sir Raphael!
[15:06] Clavwell
What do you think you're doing to my knights?
[15:09] Raphael
Clavwell, eh? I have no business
with a bureaucrat like you.
[15:16] Clavwell
Be that as it may, I have a
duty to protect these knights.
[15:22] Raphael
Never mind that. You confiscated the
woman's Sacred Sword, didn't you?
[15:26] Raphael
Where is it?
[15:28] Clavwell
What does it matter to you?
[15:31] Raphael
That should be obvious.
[15:33] Raphael
Sacred Swords choose their wielders.
[15:36] Raphael
As long as that chosen person lives,
the sword cannot be used by anyone else.
[15:41] Raphael
So...
[15:43] Raphael
perhaps I should relieve the girl of her head.
[15:47] Clavwell
Of all the dreadful ideas!
[15:49] Raphael
I was merely stating a fact.
[15:51] Raphael
Besides, you're in no position to dictate what a
Sacred Sword wielder does with their blade.
[15:57] Chastille
You speak out of turn, Sir Raphael!
[16:00] Chastille
If we wield our swords on our own whims,
then we're no better than thugs!
[16:08] Raphael
That makes a second time
you've taken that tone with me!
[16:12] Raphael
Interesting!
[16:15] Raphael
Is this what you want, Clavwell?
[16:17] Raphael
One of the knights you aim to protect is on
the verge of being slain while unarmed.
[16:26] Clavwell
V-Very well.
[16:29] Clavwell
Chastille, come this way.
[16:38] Clavwell
Take it.
[16:40] Clavwell
I don't know if returning this
to you is the right choice.
[16:45] Clavwell
I may even be giving that man
an excuse to cut you down.
[16:50] Clavwell
But... I have faith that you will find
a way to overcome this tribulation.
[17:00] Chastille
Thank you, Your Excellency.
[17:04] Chastille
That man...
[17:06] Chastille
It's like he was manipulating
the sword back into my hands.
[17:10] Chastille
But why?
[17:24] Barbatos
Y-You're actually living
with a little girl now?!
[17:29] Zagan
How do you even know about that, Barbatos?
[17:31] Barbatos
And I thought your only joke was your face!
[17:34] Barbatos
There have been rumors around town
about you kidnapping some brat!
[17:38] Zagan
Are we done now? Can I go?
[17:42] Barbatos
Damn, man, don't be such a stiff!
[17:45] Barbatos
I'm treating you to
good booze here, y'know?
[17:50] Barbatos
So, who exactly is this rumored kid?
[17:53] Barbatos
You take in a second apprentice or something?
[17:56] Zagan
He's half right.
[17:58] Zagan
It's actually someone you know.
[18:01] Barbatos
What?!
[18:02] Barbatos
So she's a sorcerer?
[18:05] Barbatos
A female sorcerer...
[18:07] Barbatos
I think the only local is
Gremory the Enchantress?
[18:10] Barbatos
She's supposed to be a
serious man-hater, though...
[18:13] Zagan
It doesn't look like he realizes
For is Valefor... or a dragon—
[18:19] Barbatos
Oh, yeah, Valefor!
[18:22] Barbatos
Didn't Valefor raid your place the other day?
[18:25] Barbatos
The giant guy in the mask.
[18:27] Zagan
Right... that did happen.
[18:30] Barbatos
Whatever happened with him?
[18:32] Zagan
Survived, with any luck.
[18:35] Barbatos
What, you just tossed him out like usual?
[18:38] Barbatos
There are rumors that he's a dragon, y'know.
[18:42] Barbatos
You could make some real potent
catalysts out of his corpse.
[18:46] Barbatos
What a waste.
[18:47] Zagan
A good example of why I should
keep For's identity a secret...
[18:52] Barbatos
Well, forget about Valefor.
Let's talk about this kid you've grabbed.
[18:55] Barbatos
Who is she?
[18:56] Zagan
Okay, does he actually know or not?
[19:00] Zagan
It's hard to explain. I guess
we could say I've adopted her.
[19:05] Barbatos
Y-You, adopted a little girl?!
[19:08] Zagan
Oh, he's so far gone.
[19:11] Barbatos
Well, that's enough joking for now.
[19:14] Zagan
Can we finally get to the point, then?
[19:17] Barbatos
The Church has sent for a real troublemaker.
Thought I'd let you know.
[19:23] Barbatos
The sorcerer hunter, Raphael.
[19:25] Barbatos
He's killed 499 sorcerers so far!
[19:29] Barbatos
The most dreadful of the Sacred Sword users,
who's taken down the highest number of targets.
[19:34] Barbatos
And you've been chosen
to be lucky number 500!
[19:38] Zagan
That's odd.
[19:40] Zagan
Even with a Sacred Sword, could one
person kill that many sorcerers?
[19:44] Barbatos
That's the thing...
[19:45] Barbatos
They say he's eaten a dragon.
[19:50] (Flashback) For
Humans think that eating
dragon flesh will make them stronger.
[19:54] (Flashback) For
Does a sorcerer really need a
reason to hate the Angelic Knights?
[19:58] Zagan
That explains it.
[20:01] Zagan
The Church doesn't approve of eating dragons,
so this all all unconfirmed, mind you.
[20:06] Zagan
You're volunteering an
awful lot of news today.
[20:11] Barbatos
Well, let's chalk it up to trying
to make up for the other day.
[20:16] Barbatos
I figure cozying up with you is gonna be a
sweeter deal for me than trying to kill you!
[20:21] Zagan
You're as shameless as you are obnoxious.
[20:24] Barbatos
What I am is handy!
[20:26] Barbatos
This would be a good deal for you.
[20:29] Zagan
Maybe I'd believe that if
I thought you had a conscience.
[20:33] Zagan
What do you really want?
[20:35] Barbatos
Marchosias' estate...
[20:37] Barbatos
Why don't you let me manage it for you?
[20:40] Barbatos
It's not like you can handle it all on your—
[20:41] Zagan
No, thank you.
[20:43] Barbatos
Why, dammit?!
[20:44] Zagan
Because you're gonna hide anything
you don't want me seeing.
[20:49] Barbatos
Well, obviously!
What's the problem with that?
[20:52] Zagan
I... cannot understand how someone
as smart as him can be so stupid.
[20:56] Zagan
You can have a few sorcerous tomes.
[20:58] Zagan
That'll have to do.
[21:01] Barbatos
I guess that's a fair deal.
[21:04] Barbatos
Gotta admit, it's great
having generous friends!
[21:08] Barbatos
I get to pick the books
I want though, got it?
[21:12] Barbatos
Don't try and pawn any crap off on me—
[21:14] Zagan
One thing, Barbatos.
[21:17] Zagan
The dragon-slaying Angelic Knight
you mentioned, what's he look like?
[21:21] Barbatos
Let's see... he's supposed to be
way too huge for how old he is.
[21:28] Barbatos
He's got a big scar from his forehead
across the left side of his face.
[21:33] Barbatos
They say the dragon he
took down gave it to him.
[21:37] Zagan
What a coincidence.
[21:39] Zagan
I've seen someone who looks just like that.
[21:42] Barbatos
Well damn, I'm impressed you survived!
[21:45] Barbatos
I figured he would've taken
a swing at you on sight.
[21:50] Zagan
I think... we're just getting to that part.

[02:39] Zagan
I invited him to sit down
in the moment, but...
[02:41] Zagan
I don't really have anything to
say to this mountain of a man.
[02:45] Owner
Mr. Sorcerer! My daughter...
is my daughter gonna live?!
[02:50] Barbatos
How should I know?! Healing sorcery isn't
really my thing, but I'll do what I can.
[02:55] Owner
I see why you're friends with Lord Zagan!
[02:57] Barbatos
I'm not his friend!
[02:59] Zagan
I'd rather be sitting over there.
[03:01] Zagan
The girl's just unconscious.
She doesn't even need any sorcery.
[03:06] Zagan
So, do you have some business with me...
[03:09] Zagan
dragon slayer?
[03:11] Raphael
The name is Raphael. I hear you've been
tangling with one my fellow knights.
[03:16] Raphael
Which is why I wanted to get a look at you.
[03:18] Zagan
He must mean Chastille.
[03:20] Zagan
I must not look very remarkable,
compared to you.
[03:26] Raphael
And yet you look every bit the
villain the rumors suggest.
[03:30] Zagan
That's rich coming from someone who
can knock someone out with a grin.
[03:34] Zagan
I hear you've made a hobby
out of killing sorcerers.
[03:38] Zagan
And you don't mind two of them
standing right in front of you?
[03:43] Raphael
Don't be ridiculous.
[03:45] Raphael
All I have ever done is snuff out
embers that risk becoming an inferno.
[03:49] Zagan
That's not the story I've heard.
[03:52] Zagan
Is this really a man who's
killed nearly 500 sorcerers?
[03:56] Raphael
Archdemon, you've fought
Chastille before, haven't you?
[04:00] Raphael
Was she strong enough
to pose a threat to you?
[04:03] Zagan
I'm not sure.
[04:05] Zagan
If nothing else, she was more formidable
than anyone I've ever fought before.
[04:11] Raphael
I see.
[04:13] Raphael
That makes her a serious
threat to the Church.
[04:18] Zagan
I don't get what you're saying.
[04:20] Raphael
She objected against the
hunt for Archdemon Zagan.
[04:24] Raphael
That gives the Church more than
enough reason to dispose of her.
[04:28] Zagan
That fool. Of all the awkward
positions to put herself in...
[04:32] Zagan
She could've just pretended
to go with the flow.
[04:35] Zagan
She never struck me as much
of a survivor, but this?
[04:39] Raphael
I'm with you on that point.
[04:41] Raphael
Anyway, that concludes my business
with you. I'll take my leave.
[04:47] Zagan
Wait, that's it.
[04:49] Zagan
He came to confirm the link
between Chastille and I.
[04:53] Zagan
Looking for justification to strike her down.
[04:56] Zagan
Wait.
[04:58] Zagan
That girl has her share
of friends in this town.
[05:02] Zagan
Plenty of whom would mourn her death.
[05:05] Zagan
And this town happens to be my territory.
[05:07] Zagan
If you step out of bounds,
I'll make short work of you.
[05:11] Raphael
That hardly sounds like something
an Archdemon would say.
[05:14] Zagan
Being an Archdemon affords
me that kind of arrogance.
[05:21] Raphael
You turned out to be just how I imagined!
[05:25] Raphael
That sounds exactly like
[05:26] Raphael
the kind of evil the Church would
dedicate its resources to snuffing out.
[05:33] Zagan
I don't like this.
[05:35] Barbatos
Did you really think you, a sorcerer,
[05:37] Barbatos
were gonna like what that guy,
an Angelic Knight, had to say?
[05:39] Barbatos
Maybe you oughta chase the
old timer down and kill him.
[05:44] Zagan
Then get going, Barbatos.
[05:47] Barbatos
You telling me to die?! Is that it?!
[05:50] Zagan
While I do want you to die,
that's not what I meant.
[05:54] Barbatos
You want me to die?
[05:56] Zagan
What I want you to do is check on Chastille.
[06:00] Barbatos
Why the hell would I?!
[06:02] Zagan
It should be quick and easy with your
teleportation sorcery, Barbatos the Purgatory.
[06:07] Barbatos
She's an Angelic Knight too, man.
[06:09] Barbatos
Are you serious about helping her?
[06:11] Zagan
Just get going.
[06:13] Zagan
I'll throw in some extra
tomes to make it up to you.
[06:17] Barbatos
You're one weird bastard, y'know that?
[06:22] Barbatos
I'm pretty sure you're gonna regret this.
[06:29] Zagan
Wait, he...
[06:31] Zagan
Left without paying the tab.
[06:35] Zagan
I was the one who sent him away,
but now I feel like he got one over on me.
[06:40] Zagan
Nephy should be asleep by now.
[06:45] Nephy
Welcome home, Lord Zagan.
[06:48] Zagan
Nephy?
[06:49] Zagan
You could've gone to bed first.
SIGN Shhhh
[06:52] Nephy
Shhhh.
[06:57] Nephy
For insisted on waiting until you got home.
[07:03] Zagan
Yet she's already asleep.
[07:05] Nephy
She worked very hard today.
[07:07] Nephy
She helped carry all of the books we took
from the Archdemon castle to the library.
[07:12] Zagan
There were so many, too.
[07:14] Nephy
Yes, but she wanted them to
be ready for you to read.
[07:18] Zagan
I see...
[07:20] Nephy
For told me about it.
[07:22] Nephy
How you said she could stay
with you for a thousand years.
[07:27] Nephy
I bet she was really happy to hear that.
[07:33] Zagan
Dragons live extremely long lives.
[07:36] Zagan
Anyone they can share that time
with must seem really precious.
[07:41] Zagan
Which also explains her vendetta against
whoever killed her dragon parents.
[07:47] Zagan
Maybe I should get rid of him
before he encounters For.
[07:51] Nephy
It would be nice if I could stay with
you for that kind of time, too.
[07:57] Zagan
What are you saying?
[08:00] Zagan
You'll obviously be there, too.
[08:03] Nephy
Right! I'll be with your side
wherever you go, Lord Zagan!
[08:12] Zagan
Have Nephy's eyelashes always been this long?
[08:17] Zagan
I feel like I haven't seen her
up close like this before.
[08:20] Zagan
To say nothing of how long it's been
since we were alone together.
[08:25] Zagan
She kinda smells nice.
[08:28] Zagan
Did she just take a bath?
[08:29] Zagan
Her hair's still a bit wet...
[08:32] Zagan
N-Nephy...
[08:39] Nephy
Lord Zagan...
[08:42] Barbatos
Yo, Zagan, bad news!
[08:46] Barbatos
Come on, Zagan!
[08:48] Barbatos
Could you answer me?! You're the one who...
[08:52] Zagan
Step outside, Barbatos.
I'm gonna turn you into mincemeat.
[08:56] Barbatos
What are you so angry about?!
[09:02] Nephy
Miss Chastille!
[09:03] Barbatos
It's poison.
[09:05] Barbatos
Seems like it was in her drink.
[09:08] Zagan
Nephy, we'll treat her.
[09:10] Zagan
I'll need your help.
[09:11] Nephy
R-Right!
[09:18] For
You're too loud, Zagan.
[09:20] Zagan
Sorry about that. You can go on to bed.
[09:29] For
An Angelic Knight!
[09:38] Barbatos
Whoa! Zagan!
[09:44] For
Why are you stopping me?
[09:45] Zagan
She's my guest. You can't kill her.
[09:51] Zagan
Do you hate the Angelic Knights?
[09:53] For
You must've figured it out, Zagan.
[09:56] For
I became a sorcerer to get
revenge on the Angelic Knights!
[10:00] Zagan
Is she the one who hurt you?
[10:03] For
Someone with a Sacred Sword killed my father!
[10:06] Zagan
You're right, but it wasn't her, was it?
[10:10] Zagan
You could kill her and the person you
want revenge on wouldn't even care.
[10:14] Zagan
All it would do is create
more enemies for you.
[10:17] Zagan
Enemies who would become additional
obstacles for your revenge.
[10:21] Zagan
It's a pretty common mistake, for greenhorns.
[10:23] For
What do you know, Zagan?!
[10:28] Zagan
Revenge is about making your
target suffer, endlessly,
[10:31] Zagan
driving them into the depths
of despair and terror...
[10:35] Zagan
And making them beg for death.
[10:40] Zagan
Then, if you're satisfied, you kill them,
[10:43] Zagan
and that's when your revenge is complete.
[10:45] Zagan
Simple revenge won't give you any solace.
[10:48] For
Did you ever get revenge before, Zagan?
[10:52] Zagan
I did, but I failed.
I killed him in an instant.
SIGN After all
that
torture
I went
through
SIGN He died
in seconds...
[10:56] Zagan
And doing it didn't make me feel any better.
[11:02] Zagan
Which is why, For, I'm going to teach
you how to properly take your revenge.
[11:08] Zagan
Fortunately for you, this castle has
no shortage of torture implements.
[11:16] For

SIGN An Archdemon's Dilemma:
How to Love Your Elf Bride
[11:34] Chastille
Huh?
[11:37] Chastille
Where am I?
[11:38] Zagan
I see you're awake.
[11:41] Chastille
Zagan?!
[11:42] Zagan
You should thank Nephy.
[11:44] Zagan
She's the one who treated you.
[11:47] Chastille
Treated me?
[11:48] Zagan
You were apparently poisoned.
[11:51] Zagan
Anything come to mind?
[11:52] Chastille
I'm not sure...
[11:55] Chastille
Wait, I was summoned with a letter.
[11:59] Chastille
There was no sender listed.
[12:03] Chastille
The person I met was from the Church
and mentioned a reconciliation faction.
[12:07] Chastille
That they were in favor of
coexistence and living together.
[12:10] (Flashback) Recon Faction Man
The Church exists as a counter to sorcerers.
[12:14] (Flashback) Recon Faction Man
We shouldn't go around killing them.
[12:17] (Flashback) Recon Faction Man
We are a group who share this belief.
[12:19] Chastille
I never knew such a faction existed.
[12:23] Chastille
He never showed me his face.
[12:26] Chastille
He said it'd be safer for
both of us that way, for now.
[12:29] Chastille
I felt like I recognized
him from somewhere, but...
[12:34] (Flashback) Recon Faction Man
Would you like to join us?
[12:37] (Flashback) Recon Faction Man
Your defiance of the Church
means you need protection.
[12:43] Chastille
If he's offering to help me...
does he serve Cardinal Clavwell?
[12:48] Chastille
No, but if that were the case...
[12:49] (Flashback) Recon Faction Man
I don't need an answer right away.
[12:52] (Flashback) Recon Faction Man
But time is running short.
[12:54] (Flashback) Recon Faction Man
For now... to prove I'm worthy of trust,
should you need help, call out this name...
[13:01] Chastille
"Orobas."
[13:02] Chastille
That's what he said.
[13:04] (Flashback) Chastille
Is that your name?
[13:07] (Flashback) Recon Faction Man
You could say yes, and could say no.
[13:10] (Flashback) Recon Faction Man
Think of it as the name of our leader.
[13:13] (Flashback) Recon Faction Man
No matter what the situation,
that name should protect you.
[13:19] Chastille
Can I really believe that?
[13:21] Chastille
With Sir Raphael here,
[13:24] Chastille
I probably shouldn't hesitate
if I value my life.
[13:28] Chastille
But... say I live, then what?
[13:32] Chastille
What can I even do?
[13:34] Chastille
All I know how to do is be an Angelic Knight.
[13:53] Chastille
There was poison in that tea?
[13:55] Zagan
Any idea who could've poisoned you?
[13:59] Chastille
I'm not sure. Sir Raphael would
make the most sense, and yet...
[14:03] Zagan
I doubt that. Not when he could've
just lopped your head off.
SIGN Menacing...
[14:08] Chastille
You know about him?!
[14:10] Zagan
I do indeed.
[14:12] Zagan
In any case, you're apparently
Nephy's friend...
[14:16] Zagan
You can make yourself at home for now.
[14:18] Chastille
W-Wait—
[14:22] Zagan
What do you think you're doing?
[14:26] Chastille
Well...
[14:28] Chastille
Could you... stay for a bit longer?
[14:32] Zagan
You should ask Nephy for that sort of thing.
[14:36] Chastille
Yes. You're right.
[14:39] Chastille
Forgive me.
[14:48] Zagan
But it's not like we can
wake her up at this hour.
[14:51] Zagan
I'm just going to read.
[14:55] Chastille
Thank you.
[14:57] Chastille
What was I trying to accomplish?
[15:00] Chastille
Did I want him to turn my way?
[15:03] Chastille
No. I want both Zagan and
Nephy to find happiness.
[15:08] Chastille
That's right.
[15:09] Chastille
I think I want to be a part of the
happiness they seem bound for.
[15:15] Chastille
But in what way could that happen?
[15:24] Chastille
Well...
[15:25] Chastille
How did I end up like this?!
[15:29] Nephy
It suits you perfectly, Miss Chastille!
[15:31] Chastille
I've never held a tool that
wasn't a sword before.
[15:35] Zagan
I said you could stay, but not for free.
[15:39] Zagan
You're going to earn your keep while
you're here. Just do what Nephy says.
[15:44] Chastille
I understand, but could you
be a bit more gentle about it?
[15:48] Chastille
I'm feeling a bit pressured here.
[15:52] Chastille
I saw you in town before.
[15:55] Chastille
It's nice to meet you!
[15:56] For
Don't talk to me without cause, Tail-Head.
[15:59] Chastille
T-Tail?
[16:01] Chastille
What in the world did I do to her?
[16:06] Zagan
Her father was apparently killed
by a Sacred Sword wielder.
[16:11] Zagan
You're not responsible for that, and I don't
expect you to justify yourself to her.
[16:15] Zagan
I just wanted you to understand.
[16:17] Chastille
Wouldn't it be better if I left, then?
[16:22] Zagan
No. You can leave For be.
[16:25] Zagan
Young as she is, she's from a proud race.
[16:27] Zagan
I doubt that pride would let
her do anything foolish.
[16:36] Zagan
Again?
[16:38] Zagan
What is it this time?
[16:40] Chastille
F-F-Frog!
[16:42] Chastille
There's a frog!
[16:45] Zagan
The third incident in so little time.
[16:49] Chastille
Quit laughing!
[16:50] Chastille
What happened to her pride keeping
her from doing anything foolish?!
[16:54] Zagan
Well, I'd say this is the result of her trying
to harass you without resorting to her powers.
[16:59] Zagan
She's still a child, after all.
[17:01] Zagan
It's not strange that she'd
express herself this way.
[17:04] Chastille
You're pretty soft on her, aren't you?
[17:07] Zagan
Am I?
[17:15] Zagan
This woman...
[17:17] Zagan
She really is useless outside
of a fight, it seems.
[17:21] Zagan
Well, you seem to be feeling
a little better, at least.
[17:30] Chastille
Was he... worried about me?
[17:38] For
It's been ten days since the
castle gained a new guest.
[17:41] For
Who would believe an Angelic Knight
is living in an Archdemon's castle?
[17:45] For
But it's the truth. The woman is one of
those wretched Sacred Sword wielders.
[17:50] For
Her name is apparently Chastille, but a
fancy name like that is too much for her.
[17:56] For
Tail-Head works perfectly.
[17:58] For
And Tail-Head is a complete mess!
[18:06] For
She's supposed to be an Angelic Knight,
but she couldn't dodge that?
[18:09] For
She's so pitiful, even I'm
starting to feel sorry for her.
[18:23] For
I don't know how to put it...
[18:27] For
It's like messing with her is no challenge.
[18:34] Zagan
Have you got a moment?
[18:37] Nephy
I'm sorry about how For's been acting.
[18:39] Chastille
You don't need to apologize, Nephy.
[18:44] Chastille
This is a lovely bath.
[18:46] Nephy
Yes. Lord Zagan was nice enough to
clean it up so that I could use it.
[18:51] Chasitlle
I see...
[18:53] Nephy
What is it?
[18:54] Chastille
It's just, I realized how easily this
place could accommodate both of you...
[19:00] Nephy
Oh, that's right. We've been
bathing together a lot lately.
[19:05] Chastille
T-Together?!
[19:07] Nephy
Yep.
[19:08] Nephy
You probably wouldn't guess
from how things are normally,
[19:11] Nephy
but we can get pretty playful in the bath.
[19:15] Chastille
P-Playful?!
[19:17] Nephy
Washing each other's hair,
and then clinging to each other...
[19:20] Chastille
C-Clinging?!
[19:23] Nephy
She's a sweet girl deep down.
[19:25] Nephy
I'm sure the two of you will
become friends someday.
[19:31] Chastille
Uh, let's clear something up.
[19:33] Chastille
When you talk about bathing together...
[19:37] Nephy
I meant For.
[19:39] Chastille
Of course! You meant For! Obviously!
[19:42] Chastille
What could I have been thinking?
[19:45] Nephy
Who else could you have...
[19:47] Nephy
No, w-we couldn't!
[19:53] For
Are you here to lecture me
about what I did to Tail-Head?
[19:57] Zagan
If you understand that,
then show some restraint.
[20:00] For
What kind of restraint?
[20:01] Zagan
Well, let's see...
[20:03] Zagan
No pranks during meals or involving food.
[20:07] For
I know that much.
[20:08] For
And I remember you said not to kill her.
[20:12] Zagan
I guess anything else is fine, then.
[20:15] For
It is?
[20:17] Zagan
Listen, For, Nephy and
I have talked it over...
[20:21] Zagan
Do you want to keep living here?
[20:25] Zagan
We were already assuming that you would,
[20:28] Zagan
but I thought I should check how you feel.
[20:32] For
But... I...
[20:34] Zagan
If you've got something that needs doing,
you can answer after it's taken care of.
[20:38] Zagan
You're free to do as you like.
[20:40] Zagan
Just remember this:
[20:43] Zagan
Nephy and I will always be waiting.
[20:47] For
Thank you.

[00:05] For
Today, Zagan asked me if I wanted
to be his and Nephy's daughter.
[00:11] For
It came as a big surprise,
but to be honest...
[00:15] For
I was happy.
[00:19] For
Since coming to this
castle full of mysteries,
[00:22] For
there's one thing I have figured out.
[00:25] For
I understand what this warm
feeling in my chest is now.
[00:33] For
I like it here.
[00:37] For
I like it when Zagan pats my head.
[00:40] For
I like it when Nephy hugs me.
[00:43] For
The things Zagan teaches me,
[00:45] For
the things Nephy cooks,
[00:47] For
I love it all so much that...
[00:50] For
If I stay here, I'm going
to forget about my revenge.
[00:55] For
I'm going to want to stay with
the two of them, forever.
[00:59] For
Is my revenge really that flimsy?
[01:04] For
No. I can never forget about it.
[01:07] For
That's right! Don't forget!
[01:09] For
Don't let your hatred waver!
[01:14] For
And that's why I'm sorry.
[01:16] For
I can't stay here any longer.

This concludes Valefor's

[01:35] For
Thank you you for offering to
make me your daughter, Zagan.
[01:40] For
For saying it was my decision,
and that you'd always wait for me.

Thank you.
SIGN Episode 10:
Of Course Parents Panic When Their
Daughter Runs Away From Home
[03:50] For
The Archdemon castle. Inside here...
[03:53] For
I should be able to find enough power
to kill a Sacred Sword wielder.
[03:57] For
Since I came before, Zagan arranged
it so I could get inside.
[04:06] For
And if I sneak in and take things without
him knowing, I'll be betraying him.
[04:11] For
But...
[04:11] For
I need power.
[04:14] Rapahel
To think there'd be an Archdemon
castle in a place like this.
[04:20] For
Did he follow me?
[04:22] For
This scent...
[04:26] For
A Sacred Sword!
[04:28] For
It's you!
[04:47] Raphael
And you are?
[04:48] Raphael
I've never met a little girl like you before.
[04:56] For
Bastard!
[05:03] For
I should've known I wouldn't stand a chance
against a Sacred Sword wielder without a plan.
[05:08] For
Zagan!
[05:10] Zagan
I know I said you could do what you want,
[05:12] Zagan
but maybe you should have a curfew.
[05:16] Raphael
So, you can stop my attack, Archdemon?
[05:21] For
Zagan, why?
[05:23] Zagan
I had a convenient bit of
transportation on hand,
[05:26] Zagan
so I had him send me here since
it was obvious where you'd go.
[05:31] Barbatos
I'm not convenient or your
transportation, dammit.
[05:35] For
That's not what I mean!
[05:36] For
I betrayed you!
[05:40] For
But you... why?
[05:42] Zagan
I told you I could understand how you felt.
[05:44] Zagan
Stop worrying over every little thing.
[05:55] For
I'm sorry!
[05:58] Zagan
I'm glad I made it in time.
[06:00] Nephy
Lord Zagan! Is For all right?
[06:02] Zagan
Yeah. We'll head back as soon as
we've dealt with another matter.
[06:06] Zagan
Wait there for us, Nephy.
[06:08] Nephy
Understood.
[06:12] Zagan
Now then,
[06:12] Zagan
I did warn you about what'd happen
if you stepped out bounds.
[06:18] Raphael
A sorcerer, defending someone else?
[06:21] Zagan
She's not just anyone.
[06:23] Zagan
She is my daughter.
[06:27] Raphael
I see. Your daughter, eh?
[06:30] Raphael
That does sound like a suitable reason.
[06:33] Zagan
For, give me some space.
[06:36] Zagan
A word of warning: Defend with all
you've got if you don't want to die.
[06:40] Raphael
I didn't want this, but you leave me choice.
[06:43] Raphael
It's not yet my time to die, after all.
[06:46] Raphael
Answer my call, Sacred Sword Metatron!
[06:55] Zagan
My sorceries are being broken apart?
[06:57] Raphael
This blade once defeated an Archdemon
and burned all their sorcery away
[07:02] Raphael
with the flames of purification.
[07:04] Raphael
An ability only accessible by a
true wielder of a Sacred Sword.
[07:08] Barbatos
Whoa, whoa, what is this guy's deal?
[07:11] For
Zagan, why would you provoke
him into getting serious?
[07:15] Zagan
I promised you that I'd teach
you how to get revenge.
[07:20] Zagan
Drawing out your target's full
potential and then crushing it.
[07:23] Zagan
That's one of the ways
to drive them to despair.
[07:35] Raphael
The casting spell isn't vanishing?!
[07:40] Zagan
A Sacred Sword had cut
through one before, you see.
[07:43] Zagan
I've learned from
Archdemon Marchosias's legacy
[07:47] Zagan
and used it to create new defensive measures.
[07:50] Zagan
This spell continually draws in mana from
the environment in order to maintain itself.
[07:56] Zagan
Even your purifying flame...
[08:02] Zagan
won't be enough to overcome it in an instant.
SIGN Heaven's
Scale
[08:05] Zagan
I suppose I'll call it "Heaven's Scale."
[08:14] Zagan
And you still manage to grip that sword?
[08:16] Zagan
That would've been enough to
break most people's arms.
[08:25] Zagan
I'd appreciate it if you didn't
make too much of a mess.
[08:39] Raphael
Unbelievable...
[08:42] Zagan
I guess it can only take three blows.
[08:44] Zagan
A decent showing for a test, but it has a
long way to go before considering it complete.
[08:49] Barbatos
Hey, dumbass! Quit trying to
show off how easy you've got it!
[08:56] Zagan
As I already told you before...
[09:04] Zagan
This is called "confidence."
[09:07] Zagan
With those flames of purification gone,
I can use other sorcery, as well.
SIGN Whoaaa!
[09:13] For
Whoaaa!
[09:15] Zagan
I'm not sure why, but I kind of like this.
[09:19] Zagan
Surely he can't stand anymore.
[09:22] Zagan
Angelic Knights aren't like sorcerers.
[09:24] Zagan
Even with the blessing
of that anointed armor,
[09:27] Zagan
a critical blow like that will
take you out of the battle.
[09:32] Raphael
I... see...
[09:39] Raphael
You have incredible power.
[09:42] Zagan
What exactly is he?
[09:47] Chastille
Nephy!
[09:49] Chastille
Where's Zagan? I'm going after him!
[09:54] Chastille
This shadow...
[09:57] Nephy
Lord Barbatos took Lord Zagan to For.
[10:01] Chastille
And is For all right?!
[10:04] Nephy
Yes. But...
[10:05] Nephy
Lord Zagan is defending For from
someone who was attacking her.
[10:14] Chastille
Then I should go.
[10:20] Chastille
But it's my fault that
For left in the first place.
[10:24] Chastille
I should go...
[10:30] Chastille
Go and then what?
[10:32] Chastille
The Church is likely to kill me now,
[10:35] Chastille
so I side with sorcerers, instead?
[10:39] Chastille
That's just... pure selfishness.
[10:42] Nephy
Miss Chastille?
[10:45] Nephy
Are you alright?
[10:46] Nephy
Are you not going?
[10:49] Nephy
Lord Zagan told me to wait here.
[10:55] Chastille
This probably isn't an appropriate time,
[10:59] Chastille
but I envy you a bit.
[11:02] Nephy
I envy you, too, Miss Chastille.
[11:08] Chastillel
How could you possibly...
[11:09] Nephy
Because you can go after Lord Zagan.
[11:13] Nephy
He is very powerful.
[11:16] Nephy
He may not need any help.
[11:19] Nephy
but even then, if I could stand
at his side to help him...
[11:22] Chastille
But I'm his enemy!
[11:24] Chastille
If you want to go, you should
ignore his orders and—
[11:28] Nephy
I cannot do that.
[11:38] Nephy
Because I believe my duty is to be
here to welcome Lord Zagan home.
[11:46] Chastille
I know it's stupid to claim to be your enemy
after you've both helped me so much...
[11:51] Nephy
Right.
[11:53] Chastille
Even I...
[11:56] Chastille
would like to help him if I thought I could.
[11:59] Chastille
But I'm an Angelic Knight.
[12:04] Nephy
Yes.
[12:05] Chastille
I don't know what to do anymore.
[12:08] Chastille
Being poisoned has bothered
me more than I thought.
[12:12] Chastille
I keep wondering what purpose
my sword even has anymore.
[12:16] Nephy
Right.
[12:20] Chastille
I didn't want to turn my
blade against Zagan...
[12:24] Chastille
I wanted to fight by his side!
[12:34] Nephy
It sounds like you know what to do.
[12:37] Nephy
When we first talked,
[12:39] Nephy
you said that Lord Zagan
seemed lonely to you.
[12:44] Nephy
I was honestly kind of envious.
[12:48] Nephy
Because I thought I was the only one
who could understand Lord Zagan.
[12:53] Nephy
But at the same time, I was happy.
[12:56] Nephy
Because it meant there are people out
there who can understand Lord Zagan.
[13:02] Chastille
You really have gotten stronger.
[13:06] Chastille
By loving and being loved by Zagan...
[13:10] Nephy
Are you all right, now?
[13:12] Chastille
Oh, yes...
[13:14] Chastille
Wait, were you trying to comfort me?
[13:18] Nephy
Did I not do a good job?
[13:20] Chastille
That's not what I meant!
[13:22] Chastille
It's just, why go so far for me?
[13:26] Nephy
Well...
[13:28] Nephy
We're friends, aren't we?
[13:35] Chastille
Thank you, Nephy.
[13:38] Chastille
I'm going.
[13:40] Nephy
Right. Good luck, Miss Chastille.
[13:43] Chastille
No more doubts!

[15:21] For
What I found...
[15:29] For
was a Sacred Sword stabbed
into my father's corpse
[15:32] For
and a demonic-looking man
drinking his blood!
[15:48] (Flashback) For
Father...
[15:50] (Flashback) For
Fa...
[15:51] For
My father had shared his power and
wisdom with humans, so many times.
[15:58] For
And then...
[16:00] For
You betrayed him!
[16:04] Raphael
I see. You're the daughter of Orobas.
[16:08] Raphael
In that case...
[16:09] Raphael
I must see you slain!
[16:13] Zagan
That's not going to happen!
[16:25] Zagan
Wha—?!
[16:26] Zagan
He's...
[16:27] For
Just try it!
[16:29] Zagan
For, don't!
[16:44] Chastille
Enough is enough, Sir Raphael.
[16:47] For
Tail-Head?! How did you get here?
[16:50] Barbatos
Oh, damn, I forgot to close the shadow.
[16:52] Zagan
Chastille!
[16:54] Zagan
She was able to stop Raphael's sword
and For's sorcery at the same time!
[16:59] For
What do you think you're doing?
[17:00] Chastille
For all the grief you've given me,
[17:03] Chastille
I was the one who intruded upon your home.
[17:07] Chastille
But at least once...
[17:09] Chastille
Can we just talk civilly?
[17:12] Zagan
Well, it's about time that
you manage to do that much.
[17:16] Zagan
But first...
[17:22] Zagan
What do you think you're doing?
[17:24] Zagan
I'm a sorcerer. A villain.
[17:27] Zagan
I couldn't care less if an Angelic
Knight dies, but this is disturbing.
[17:31] Zagan
What are you trying to accomplish?
[17:35] Zagan
There's no enjoyment to be gained from
killing someone who's practically begging to die.
[17:43] For
What do you mean?
[17:44] Zagan
I don't know, which is why I'm asking.
[17:46] Zagan
The second he heard the name Orobas,
all his bloodlust disappeared.
[17:51] Chastille
W-Wait, Zagan...
[17:53] Zagan
Come on. If you get involved this
is going to get even more...
[17:56] Chastille
Not that!
[17:58] Chastille
This is hard to believe but...
it was you, wasn't it?
[18:03] Chastille
You're the one who summoned
me with that letter.
[18:07] Chastille
You're "Orobas" of the
reconciliation faction, aren't you?
[18:13] Zagan
You did mention Orobas before.
[18:16] Zagan
I had thought it unlikely that someone from the
Church would bring up the legendary dragon...
[18:22] Zagan
Let's hear your explanation.
[18:23] For
What's she talking about, Zagan?
[18:32] Chastille
Zagan...
[18:33] Zagan
I know.
[18:35] Zagan
Something... is coming.
[18:49] Zagan
What is this miasma?
[18:53] Barbatos
Wh-Whoa, what the hell is going on?!
[18:55] Zagan
How should I know?!
[19:02] Barbatos
What is that thing?!
[19:05] Barbatos
The miasma...
[19:07] Barbatos
Is it a demon?!
[19:09] Barbatos
No.
[19:10] Barbatos
I don't feel the same kind of terror.
[19:13] Barbatos
Is it a golem that was
modeled after a demon?
[19:17] Barbatos
It's absorbing mana from
its surroundings to power itself.
[19:21] Barbatos
People, the environment... it's going
to drain everything dry at this rate.
[19:27] For
Zagan!
[19:28] For
That's the guardian of
the Archdemon's castle!
[19:32] Zagan
You're right! The shock wave from the
Sacred Swords clashing must've broken the seal!
[19:37] Raphael
Impossible...
[19:39] Barbatos
It's the Archdemon's legacy?!
[19:41] Barbatos
Hey, Zagan, what do we do?!
[19:43] Barbatos
This thing is gonna devour
us all at this rate!
[19:46] Zagan
Settle down!
[19:48] Zagan
By my Archdemon crest, I command you..
[19:50] Zagan
Begone! Return to whence you came!
[19:58] Zagan
I guess it doesn't work on a golem.
[20:09] Zagan
Get clear!
[20:18] Zagan
For!
[20:35] For
Why?
[20:43] Zagan
You misshapen puppet.
[20:45] Zagan
I've had enough of you.
[20:51] Zagan
Now, shatter! Heaven's Scale!
[21:02] Zagan
For! Are you all right?!
[21:04] For
I'm okay.
[21:06] For
But...
[21:10] Zagan
The wound's too close to his heart.
[21:12] Zagan
Even with the dragon's power, this...
[21:15] Zagan
Why?
[21:17] Raphael
All I've done... is my duty.
[21:21] Raphael
It's no concern of yours.
[21:26] Zagan
Don't move!
[21:28] Zagan
Why is he trying to stand?
[21:31] Zagan
It's clear you're attempting
some kind of redemption.
[21:36] Zagan
But I can tell there's more to it.
[21:42] Zagan
Tell us everything, Raphael.

[00:02] Raphael
You said that I killed Orobas...
[00:07] For
Th-That's right!
[00:08] Raphael
You're mistaken.
[00:10] Raphael
The great dragon could never be laid
low by one with my meager strength.
[00:16] For
You're lying! I saw it!
[00:18] For
You were devouring my father's corpse!
[00:21] For
You had to have tricked him somehow!
[00:24] Raphael
Let me ask you, then...
Was the Orobas you knew
[00:28] Raphael
so feeble that he could be
killed by human treachery?
[00:33] For
What do you mean?
[00:35] Raphael
I sought out the Sage Dragon, Orobas,
[00:39] Raphael
on that day in order to
slay a particular foe.
[00:42] Raphael
And in his magnanimity, he offered his help.
[00:46] For
What foe?
[00:48] Raphael
A demon. The entities spoken of in legends.
[00:54] For
Do you really think you can fool me
with this made-up nonsense?!
[00:58] For
The idea of demons still existing...
[01:01] Raphael
I understand your reluctance to believe it.
[01:04] Raphael
I, too, had thought they
were consigned to history.
[01:08] Raphael
But... a demon had appeared in modern times,
[01:11] Raphael
with many Angelic Knights and the
great dragon paying the price.
[01:16] Raphael
And it's likely that they will
return in force in the near future.
[01:25] Zagan
I encountered the shadow of a demon.
[01:29] Zagan
I don't know if they intend on
coming back to this world,
[01:32] Zagan
but they do still exist out there somewhere.
[01:36] Zagan
That's why I've been looking through old texts:
to find a way to counter them.
[01:41] Zagan
You were helping with that, remember?
[01:44] For
Then... Then my father
fought and lost to a demon?
[01:49] Raphael
He was not defeated.
[01:52] Raphael
He overcame his enemy
at the cost of his life.
[01:55] For
Then who am I supposed to hate?!
[02:00] Raphael
You should not feel hate, but pride.
[02:05] Raphael
Orobas gave his life to defend you
and the world in which you live.
[02:10] Raphael
And who better to take
pride in that than you?
[02:15] Raphael
If killing me will restore
your pride in Orobas...
[02:18] Raphael
Then I gladly offer my head.
[02:22] Raphael
The demons are a menace.
[02:24] Raphael
If they were to return to our world, where the
Church and sorcerers fight among themselves,
[02:27] Raphael
humanity stands no chance.
[02:29] Raphael
Preparations must be made.
[02:31] Raphael
That was why Orobas told me to go on living.
[02:36] Raphael
Which is what led me to
do something as foul
[02:38] Raphael
as drink his blood in the midst
of that horrible battlefield.
[02:44] Zagan
That explains what For saw.
[02:47] Raphael
My duty is coming to an end, though.
[02:50] Raphael
The seeds of reconciliation
have finally bloomed.
[02:52] Raphael
I can think of no finer last mission
than to die in the name of Orobas.
[02:57] Zagan
Then she was right, you really were the
one behind the reconciliation faction.
[03:03] Raphael
Aye.
[03:04] Raphael
The millennia-long vendetta between
the Church and sorcerers must end,
[03:09] Raphael
so that both can survive the coming storm.
[03:11] Barbatos
Come on, man, you can't
expect anyone to buy that.
[03:16] Barbatos
Do you realize how many hundreds of
dead sorcerers' blood is on your hands?
[03:20] Barbatos
And now you're all about coexistence?
[03:22] Raphael
You're right. I could never bear
the flag of reconciliation.
[03:27] Raphael
Which is why...
[03:29] Raphael
the Maiden of the Sacred Sword was necessary!
[03:31] Chastille
W-Wait a moment...
[03:34] Chastille
I still haven't agreed to any of this!
[03:43] Zagan
It feels like the world has an
excess of immortals lately.
[03:49] Zagan
I'm going to take care of it again.
[03:51] Zagan
It shouldn't take long.
[03:53] Chastille
What are you going to do?
[03:54] Zagan
Golems aren't my area of expertise,
[03:57] Zagan
but this thing was still made with sorcery.
[03:59] Zagan
I should be able to break it.
[04:00] Raphael
That is no mere golem.
[04:03] Raphael
It's a sorcerous combination of
a golem and something else.
[04:09] Zagan
Are you saying...
[04:11] Raphael
Aye.
[04:12] Raphael
A chimera, made from a demon!
SIGN Episode 11:
It's Still Apparently an Angelic Knight's
Duty To Slay Wicked Beasts
[04:23] Raphael
I'm sure of it. That is the very
same demon that Orobas and I slew.
[04:27] Raphael
Archdemon Marchosias took its
carcass and made it into a chimera.
[04:35] Zagan
Damn it, Marchosias, I can't think of a more
dangerous memento to have left behind.
[04:40] Zagan
Re-animated corpse or not,
this thing is still a demon.
[04:42] Zagan
It may not be as strong as it once was,
[04:45] Zagan
but it stands to reason that just
punching it won't make it fall apart.
[04:48] Zagan
How convenient.
[04:50] Zagan
Now I can test out the other aspect.
[04:55] Chastille
Zagan, I won't ask you to trust
in me, an Angelic Knight...
[04:59] Chastille
But let me fight at your side.
[05:01] Zagan
I don't really think you're clever
enough to be scheming, anyway.
[05:05] Chastille
Is that a compliment or an insult?!
[05:09] Zagan
Good question.
[05:11] Chastille
Regardless...
[05:13] Chastille
I'll clear your path!
[05:17] Chastille
No more doubts.
[05:19] Chastille
So, lend me your strength...
[05:22] Chastille
Sacred Sword Azrael!
[05:30] Zagan
Purifying flames.
[05:32] Zagan
But hers aren't as wild as Raphael's.
[05:35] Zagan
They cling more tightly to the blade.
[05:41] Zagan
Idiot, what are you—?!
[05:42] Zagan
You're not wearing your
anointed armor! You'll die!
[05:44] Chastille
I told you I would clear your path!
[05:48] Zagan
Here it comes!
[05:49] Chastille
I know!
[05:58] Chastille
Now, run, Zagan!
[06:00] Zagan
Bold of you to give me orders!
[06:16] Zagan
This black haze must be its essence.
[06:20] Zagan
Which explains how it can re-form
even if its stone body is shattered.
[06:23] Chastille
Keep moving, Zagan!
[06:31] Zagan
So fast!
[06:32] Zagan
If she had done that when we
first met, she might've killed me!
[06:37] Zagan
But now...
[06:42] Zagan
Incinerate, Heaven's Phosphor!
SIGN Heaven's
Phosphor
[06:47] Chastille
Did it misfire?
[06:49] Zagan
No.
[06:55] Zagan
The fight's over.
[07:00] Chastille
What did you do?
[07:02] Zagan
There's a sorcery I named Heaven's Scale...
[07:05] Zagan
It's a shield that absorbs mana from its
surroundings to increase its durability,
[07:10] Zagan
so I inverted it and cast
it inside of that creature.
[07:14] Chastille
You inverted it?
[07:16] Zagan
It absorbs mana from its
surroundings and then ignites it.
[07:20] Zagan
The black flames are a sign
that mana itself is the fuel.
SIGN Heaven's
Phosphor
SIGN Heaven's
Scale
[07:25] Zagan
Heaven's Scale and Heaven's Phosphor.
A two-in-one sorcery.
[07:29] Zagan
Put together to defend against
Sacred Swords and demons...
[07:32] Zagan
That said, it's still lacking in efficiency.
[07:35] Zagan
It needs improvement if I want it
to affect an actual demon.
[07:38] Chastille
You really are one dreadful sorcerer.
[07:42] Zagan
You're stronger than
I thought, too, Chastille.
SIGN Daze...
[07:47] Zagan
What is it?
[07:48] Chastille
Well... you've never actually
called me by name before.
[07:52] Zagan
I haven't? Sorry about that.
[07:56] Chastille
You'd actually apologize?!
[07:58] Zagan
You're one of Nephy's friends.
[08:01] Zagan
You're owed at least that much respect.
SIGN Hmph
[08:04] Chastille
I didn't come here exclusively
for Nephy's sake!
[08:08] Chastille
I can fight by your side.
[08:11] Zagan
When we're a sorcerer and a Angelic Knight?
[08:13] Chastille
Even if we're a sorcerer
and a Angelic Knight!
[08:17] Zagan
Well, it does feel nice having someone
I can trust to watch my back.
[08:24] For
Zagan!
[08:29] Raphael
I have just borne witness to the
swiftest blade among the Angelic Knights.
[08:35] Zagan
Don't talk too much.
Healing sorcery isn't my forte.
[08:39] Zagan
The wound's too deep.
[08:40] Zagan
His draconic regeneration
seems to be weaker, too.
[08:44] Raphael
Chastille...
[08:46] Raphael
Regardless of how you may feel about it,
[08:48] Raphael
your very actions have made
you the symbol of our cause.
[08:53] Raphael
Those who share my views
will lend you their strength.
[08:59] Chastille
Then the reason you used Orobas' name...
[09:03] Chastille
It was because no one would have
believed you were behind it?
[09:06] Raphael
That is part of it. But more than that...
[09:09] Raphael
Creating the reconciliation
faction was Orobas' idea.
[09:12] Raphael
My continued survival is thanks to him.
[09:16] Raphael
I couldn't think of a better
name for our leader.
[09:21] Chastille
I see.
[09:22] Zagan
In that case,
[09:24] Zagan
why have you killed so many sorcerers?
[09:27] Zagan
Do you have some kind of
vendetta against them?
[09:29] Raphael
I wish I hadn't killed them.
[09:32] Raphael
But for some reason,
they would always attack me.
[09:38] Raphael
I can't understand why.
[09:40] Raphael
It was always my intention to
have a friendly dialogue...
[09:44] Raphael
I would even laugh to demonstrate
my lack of ill will,
[09:47] Raphael
but the sorcerers would always
attack as if they were threatened!
SIGN Wauuugh!
SIGN Get him!
[09:51] (Flashback) Sorceror
Get him!
[09:54] Raphael
Of course, I had to defend myself.
[09:57] Raphael
Which is how I ended up cutting them down.
[10:00] Zagan
Hang on a second.
[10:02] Zagan
Do you realize how antagonistic you
came across at the bar where we met?!
[10:08] Raphael
But I was warning you of the danger
to Chastille, your acquaintance?
[10:12] Zagan
That's what you thought?!
[10:14] Chastille
Didn't you ask me how many sorcerers
I'd killed when we first met?!
[10:20] Raphael
Well, you couldn't serve as the head of the
movement if you'd been acting as I had.
[10:23] Raphael
And you answered that it was a
number one shouldn't take pride in!
[10:27] Raphael
That was when I became sure
that you were the one!
[10:30] Chastille
Do you understand tone?!
[10:33] Zagan
You need to take a good look
at yourself in the mirror!
[10:37] Zagan
If you act like that while looking like that,
anybody would assume you're the bad guy!
[10:42] Barbatos
You're saying that? Seriously?
SIGN Ow
[10:46] Barbatos
Ow.
[10:47] Raphael
Return to the Church, Chastille.
[10:50] Raphael
I will deal with those who'd
seek to eliminate you.
[10:54] Raphael
I'm sure I can last at least that long.
[10:58] Chastille
You know who tried to kill me?
[11:02] Raphael
I'd be surprised if you had no idea, frankly.
[11:09] Raphael
Child of Orobas... I beg that you claim my head
only after this last task is finished.
[11:14] For
Tell me one thing.
[11:16] For
What kind of dragon do you think Orobas was?
[11:22] Raphael
A grand one.
[11:25] Raphael
The moments I spent upon his back,
fighting alongside him...
[11:29] Raphael
may have been the most
profound in my entire life.
[11:42] Zagan
Are you sure about this?
[11:44] For
I don't know.
[11:46] For
I don't know if killing him
is right anymore, either.
[11:51] Zagan
I'd say you did the right thing, then.
[11:58] Zagan
Let's head home.
I'm sure Nephy's waiting for us.
[12:06] Zagan
I don't know if giving up on
revenge is the right decision.
[12:12] Zagan
Her hatred may grow more bitter in time.
[12:15] Zagan
She may be unsure of the decision.
[12:17] Zagan
But even if she does...
[12:24] Nephy
Welcome home, Lord Zagan.
[12:26] Nephy
Welcome back, For,
Miss Chastille, Lord Barbatos.
[12:32] Zagan
We're back.
[12:34] Zagan
Nephy and I have decided to
stand at this girl's side.
SIGN An Archdemon's Dilemma:
How to Love Your Elf Bride
[12:46] Clavwell
Then you still haven't found Chastille.
[12:50] Alfred
Please forgive our failure, Your Eminence.
[12:54] Chavwell
This was not your failing.
[12:57] Chavwell
I, too, am concerned for
Chastille's well-being.
[13:01] Chavwell
It's late for the evening.
Take to your rest for now.
[13:05] Alfred
Yes, sir!
[13:08] Clavwell
Oh, Chastille.
[13:11] Clavwell
My knight...
[13:14] Clavwell
Why?
[13:16] Clavwell
Why won't you just die?!
[13:20] Clavwell
Sorcerers are evil!
[13:23] Clavwell
As are those who would side with them!
[13:26] Clavwell
If it weren't for the objections
of the other cardinals,
[13:29] Clavwell
she would've been executed by now!
[13:32] Clavwell
And now that man had to stick
his nose into this matter!
[13:36] Clavwell
Resulting in two of the
Sacred Swords being unaccounted for.
[13:40] Clavwell
Curse the wench!
Did the poison not kill her?!
[13:45] Clavwell
If Chastille had died, the Sacred Sword
would have passed into new hands, free of sin.
[13:51] Clavwell
Much like it has before...
[13:54] Clavwell
Those unworthy of the Sacred Swords have
been struck down in the name of righteousness.
[13:58] Clavwell
The fools who dare defy me
[14:01] Clavwell
and the cowards who
hesitate to slay sinners...
[14:05] Clavwell
They shall all face my wrath.
[14:10] Raphael
Pardon the intrusion, Clavwell.
[14:12] Clavwell
Sir Raphael! What happened to your arm?!
[14:15] Raphael
Don't worry about it.
[14:16] Raphael
I just came by to tie up a loose end.
[14:20] Clavwell
Don't be ridiculous! You need treatment.
[14:24] Clavwell
This is it. I have no idea what he's after,
[14:28] Clavwell
but this man is a sinner, too...
[14:31] Clavwell
Quickly, let me apply this
medicine to your wound.
[14:39] Raphael
Unfortunately for you,
[14:41] Raphael
I'm not inclined to be touched
by hands drenched in poison.
[14:49] Raphael
Quiet down!
[14:51] Raphael
Believe it or not, this will be the first time
I've gone out of my way to kill someone.
[14:55] Raphael
So I'm a bit nervous.
[14:58] Raphael
You and I are both past our prime.
[15:00] Raphael
We shouldn't interfere with
the younger generation.
[15:04] Raphael
And the idea of snuffing out a
promising future is out of the question!
[15:08] Clavwell
Someone! Save me!
[15:10] Clavwell
I speak in God's name! I am
the executor of His justice!
[15:14] Clavwell
Someone! Where did those three knights go?!
[15:16] Clavwell
Why is no one coming?!
[15:18] Raphael
You get to die by one of the
Sacred Swords you cherish so much.
[15:22] Raphael
I would've thought you'd look happier.
[15:29] Raphael
I'll be joining you soon enough.
[15:32] Raphael
Wait for me in the afterlife.
[15:36] Chastille
Then it really was Cardinal Clavwell.
[15:41] Nephy
You knew?
[15:43] Chastille
I had my suspicions.
[15:45] Chastille
He's always had absolute faith in
the righteousness of the Church.
[15:48] Zagan
Asinine. No one who goes around waving the
flag of justice ever lives up to their own claims.
[15:55] Chastille
You're always such a harsh judge.
[15:58] Chastille
I do think the Church has
taken a strange turn.
[16:01] Chastille
But, I want to change it,
even if only a bit at a time.
[16:04] Chastille
Which is why I'll be going back.
[16:06] Zagan
I see.
[16:09] Zagan
By the way, that tea is poisoned.
[16:14] Zagan
I was joking.
[16:16] Zagan
But you need to learn to be more suspicious
or it's likely to happen again.
[16:20] Chastille
I get your point, but wasn't
that in poor taste?!
[16:23] Chastille
I almost spilled the tea that Nephy prepared!
[16:27] Zagan
Nephy wasn't the one who made it.
[16:39] Chastille
We never did get to have a
proper conversation, did we?
[16:48] Chastille
Well, I don't expect us to
necessarily get along, considering...
[16:52] Chastille
I should go.
[16:55] For
Come visit again, Chastille.
[17:01] Chastille
Oh, good! You finally used my real name!
SIGN Wahhhh
[17:05] For
And you cried anyway?
[17:07] Chastille
It wasn't for long,
but I appreciate you letting me stay.
[17:10] Chastille
I'm not sure I can head up something
like a reconciliation faction,
[17:13] Chastille
but I'll do whatever I can to make the
world a better place for all of you!
[17:18] Raphael
Indeed! I'm pleased to see
you've finally found your resolve.
[17:22] Raphael
Should you need help, simply ask.
[17:25] Chastille
Of course. I appreciate it, Sir Raphael.
[17:31] Zagan
Should you be up already, Raphael?
[17:34] Raphael
Quite. Considering the blessing
I received from Orobas,
[17:38] Raphael
the addition of elvish healing made
my wounds barely an inconvenience.
[17:42] Chastille
How are you two chatting so casually?!
[17:47] Zagan
Is there some problem?
[17:49] Chastille
I mean, I thought he was dead!
[17:52] Zagan
Who do you think told me
about what happened to Clavwell?
SIGN I °°lled him.
SIGN It wasn't For
[17:57] Raphael
I also prepared the tea.
[18:02] Chastille
Still, I'm glad to see you're alive!
SIGN Menace...
[18:06] Raphael
So naïve.
[18:07] Raphael
If you keep this up, you're likely to
be struck down when you least expect it.
[18:11] Zagan
Well, considering you could be betrayed
at any moment by just about anyone,
[18:15] Zagan
you can't go around so obliviously.
[18:17] Zagan
That's his point.
[18:18] Raphael
Well said, my lord.
[18:21] Chastille
Even I understood that time.
[18:23] Chastille
Wait, "my lord"?
[18:25] Raphael
I have been hired to serve
as Lord Zagan's butler.
[18:29] Raphael
As of today, I am no longer
commander of the Angelic Knights.
[18:34] Zagan
The barrier detected him when Raphael
collapsed on the outside of the castle.
[18:39] (Flashback) Raphael
I've come to offer my head, as promised.
[18:43] (Flashback) Zagan
What do you think, For?
[18:45] (Flashback) Zagan
It's your decision.
[18:52] (Flashback) For
In that case, you should
serve Zagan and Nephy.
[18:55] (Flashback) For
That will help me, too.
[19:00] Zagan
Having a Sacred Sword and its wielder nearby
[19:02] Zagan
will make a huge difference in my
studies on the Archdemon brand.
[19:06] Nephy
Mr. Raphael's quite a cook, as well!
[19:09] Nephy
I'm thinking about having him teach me.
[19:12] Zagan
Plus, he's weirdly easy to relate to.
[19:20] For
Do you miss your arm?
[19:22] Raphael
It's nothing for you to
concern yourself with.
[19:25] For
Wait a minute.
[19:36] For
It should move, too.
[19:39] For
That's the armor I used as Valefor.
[19:43] Raphael
To think I would owe so much to not
just Orobas, but his daughter also...
[19:48] Raphael
I shall dedicate my life to serving you.
SIGN Hmph
[19:51] For
Overreacting...
[19:52] Chastille
Wait, so I'm the only one who's moving out?
[19:57] Trio
Looks like it.
[20:00] Zagan
You can drop by any time you want.
[20:02] Zagan
I'm sure Nephy and For
would be glad to see you.
[20:04] For
I would?
[20:05] Zagan
Sure you would.
[20:07] Chastille
What about you, Zagan?
[20:10] Zagan
Well, you make decent enough
company to share a drink with.
[20:17] Chastille
See you later!
[20:19] Zagan
Honestly, she makes such a fuss.
[20:22] Barbatos
Aren't you guys forgetting somebody?
[20:27] Barbatos
Not that I care.
That was a nice nap, but I'm starving!
[20:31] Barbatos
How about some breakfast?
[20:33] Zagan
Actually, I need you to go, too.
[20:36] Zagan
Chastille could use protecting
for the time being.
[20:39] Zagan
I mean, did you see how she acted?
[20:41] Barbatos
What am I, a babysitter?
[20:43] Zagan
Stop whining. You'll be paid.
[20:46] Zagan
Besides, you left the tab to me last time.
[20:49] Barbatos
Y'know, buddy, you really oughta take
better care of your talented friends!
[21:06] Zagan
Nephy?
[21:07] Zagan
Wh-What are you upset about?
[21:09] Nephy
Is that how I seem?
[21:12] Zagan
That's why I was asking, yes.
[21:19] Nephy
In that case... try and understand.
[21:23] Zagan
This... She's upset, but
also expecting something?
[21:28] Zagan
This is a tricky one! But...
[21:33] Zagan
Uh, well...
[21:37] Zagan
I'm sorry I left you behind last night.
[21:41] Nephy
Lord Zagan... that's not playing fair.
[21:49] For
I can't see, Raphael.
[21:51] Raphael
For, my dear, you're still too
young for this kind of thing.

[00:05] For
My name is Valefor.
[00:07] For
I thought I would never
write in this diary again,
[00:10] For
but I find myself back in this castle.
[00:12] For
I'm doing well.
[00:15] For
I wasn't able to run away
from home for very long.
[00:17] For
It seems there's no escaping an Archdemon.
[00:20] For
I almost want to tear out
the last page I wrote,
[00:23] For
but I'm going to leave it
as a reminder to myself.
[00:26] For
When Zagan came to my rescue,
shameful as it is to admit, I was relieved.
[00:31] For
He and Nephy protected me.
[00:34] For
Not only them, but the man who
I thought killed my father, too.
[00:38] For
I should also mention that Tail-Head
helped, as strange as that sounds.
[00:43] For
I think she did, anyway.
[00:45] For
I don't yet know what
I can do to repay them all.
[00:48] For
But I want to show my
gratitude, a bit at a time.
[00:51] For
And to do that, I'll need to become strong.
[00:54] For
That's what my goal is.
[00:56] For
And I'm going to continue this
diary for the time being.
[01:01] For
I think that I'll write about the
newest member of the household.
[01:04] For
His name is Raphael.
[01:06] For
He wields one of those
wretched Sacred Swords,
[01:08] For
and I thought he had killed my father,
[01:10] For
but he actually respected my father a
great deal, and lost his arm protecting me.
[01:17] For
I still don't know how to
feel about him, to be honest.
[01:22] For
Raphael's cooking is delicious.
[01:25] For
He's a good match for Nephy in that regard,
but he knows a much wider variety of sweets.
[01:31] For
And he always lets me try
the things he makes first.
[01:35] For
I do have one problem with him.
[01:37] For
Whenever I'm trying to observe Zagan
and Nephy's couple activities,
[01:41] For
he tries to get in my way.
[01:44] For
It's become a source of
consistent conflict between us.
[01:47] For
Today, for example...
[01:49] (Flashback) Nephy
Mr. Raphael taught me this recipe.
[01:52] (Flashback) Nephy
These are a confection called macarons.
[01:54] (Flashback) For
I helped!
[01:56] (Flashback) Zagan
I see.
[01:57] (Flashback) Zagan
They certainly look cute.
[01:59] (Flashback) Raphael
The name is apparently taken from
the type of pasta called "macaroni."
[02:03] (Flashback) Raphael
They're completely different dishes,
[02:04] (Flashback) Raphael
but the method for making
them has something in common.
[02:07] (Flashback) Raphael
The ancient sorcerer known as the
King of Feasts, Caesar Cardia,
[02:11] (Flashback) Raphael
had an apprentice named
Nancy de Lorraine who conceived of it.
[02:15] (Flashback) Zagan
You're rather well-informed on
sorcerous cooking for an Angelic Knight.
[02:18] (Flashback) Raphael
Begging your pardon, sir.
[02:20] (Flashback) Zagan
So... how do you eat one?
[02:22] (Flashback) Nephy
You just take it with your hand and eat it.
[02:25] (Flashback) Zagan
I see.
[02:26] (Flashback) Nephy
Oh, Lord Zagan, these sweets are very
delicate, so be gentle when picking it up.
[02:32] (Flashback) Zagan
Gently, eh?
[02:39] (Flashback) Zagan
Nephy! Take up the dessert!
[02:43] (Flashback) Nephy
When you say that...
[02:47] (Flashback) Zagan
No, never mind.
[02:49] (Flashback) Nephy
No! I'll pick it up!
[03:02] For
That was when he started hiding his
presence and snuck up behind me.
[03:06] For
It wasn't the kind of thing
just anyone could pull off.
[03:08] For
I was able to dodge quickly enough.
[03:11] For
That wasn't easy, either, since I was trying
to make sure Zagan and Nephy didn't notice.
[03:19] For
I won that time.
[03:21] For
My reward was a nice, toasty
sensation inside of my chest.
[03:25] (Flashback) Nephy
Wh-What do you think, Lord Zagan?
[03:28] (Flashback) Zagan
It's a big world out there.
[03:30] (Flashback) Zagan
I had no idea food with this
kind of texture existed.
[03:32] (Flashback) Zagan
The outside is crispy,
but the inside is creamy.
[03:36] (Flashback) Zagan
And it's incredibly sweet.
[03:37] (Flashback) Zagan
Would you like one Nephy?
This time, I'll hold it for you.
[03:44] (Flashback) For
Why are you getting in the way?
[03:46] (Flashback) Raphael
I told you before, you're still
too young for this sort of thing.
[03:49] (Flashback) For
I don't really see how.
[03:52] (Flashback) For
It's obvious how those two
barely even hold hands.
[03:56] (Flashback) For
Can you imagine how many
decades it'll be before they kiss?
[04:01] (Flashback) Zagan
H-Here I come, Nephy.
[04:03] (Flashback) Nephy
R-Right!
[04:07] For
If we're noticed, then it's a mutual defeat.
[04:10] For
Neither Raphael nor
I want to interrupt them.
[04:14] For
It's my intention to ultimately come
out on top in this battle, however.
[04:19] Nephy
For, it's time to go!
[04:21] Nephy
Okay! Coming.
[04:24] For
Additionally, Tail-Head is coming
over to spend the night today.
[04:28] For
Nephy is excited about
cooking a feast for her,
[04:31] For
so we're going into town to shop.

[06:17] Townsperson Man A
Hey, it's the Archdemon.
[06:19] Townsperson Man B
Yeah. His wife's a beauty,
and his daughter's adorable, too.
[06:23] Townperson Woman A
The three of them are always together lately.
They must be getting along.
[06:28] Zagan
Nephy has really made herself
at home in town.
[06:35] Zagan
Is there anything else we need?
[06:37] Nephy
No, that should be everything.
[06:39] Nephy
Oh, but is it all right if we stop
by Miss Manuela's store for a bit?
[06:44] Zagan
That's always a recipe for trouble.
[06:52] Manuela
You made these, Nephy?! That's awesome!
[06:54] Nephy
I wanted to repay you for
teaching me so many recipes.
[06:58] Manuela
Thank you so much!
You're such an enthusiastic student!
[07:01] Manuela
Oh, we just got some new stock in.
Let's have you try them on!
[07:06] Manuela
There are ones that For can try, too!
[07:08] Nephy
We actually don't have much
time today... Maybe next time.
[07:12] Manuela
Aw, really?
[07:13] Manuela
Then we had better do this fast.
[07:15] Manuela
Leave it to me! Come on!
[07:18] Manuela
Right this way.
[07:20] Manuela
It won't take long!
[07:20] Zagan
Hey!
[07:21] Zagan
This is what I was worried about.
[07:27] Zagan
Well, you don't see one of these every day.
[07:29] Manuela
Oh, that thing?
[07:31] For
What is it?
[07:33] Zagan
It's called a phonograph.
You use it to listen to music.
[07:36] Zagan
There's actually a variety of sorcerers
who deal with sounds and music.
[07:40] Zagan
This was created by one such ancient
sorcerer, named Victor One,
[07:43] Zagan
the Aural Count, who had a
fixation on quality of sound.
[07:46] Zagan
This definitely looks like an antique.
[07:50] Zagan
Probably held on to by some eccentric.
[07:53] For
So it plays music?
[07:55] Maneuala
It's actually broken, so it can't.
[07:59] Zagan
I can tell.
[08:00] Manuela
Some of the street kids found
it and were hoping to sell it.
[08:06] Manuela
But none of the stores were interested,
[08:10] Manuela
so they ended up leaving it here.
[08:18] Zagan
Street urchins, huh...
[08:19] Zagan
I remember we snatched up anything
we thought might sell, too.
[08:42] Zagan
I'm going to buy this phonograph.
[08:48] Manuela
But this is so much...
[08:50] Manuela
Enough to buy hundreds of
outfits for those kids.
[08:53] Zagan
This is how much it's supposed to cost.
[08:55] Zagan
The cash is yours to do with as you like.
[08:57] Manuela
It's broken, though.
[08:59] Zagan
Come on. It's a simple enough sorcerous tool.
[09:02] Zagan
I'll be able to fix it easily.

Miss Chastille! It's good to have you.

It's been a while, Chastille...

[09:53] Chastille
Why did you correct yourself?
[09:55] Chastille
Well, thank you for having me over today.
[09:58] Zagan
Hey. You seem to be doing well.
[10:01] Chastille
Yeah.
[10:02] Chastille
But I've been so busy, I haven't
had time to go home lately.
[10:05] Chastille
Cardinal Clavwell's death
was declared an accident,
[10:09] Chastille
which has led to me taking on nearly
all his unfinished clerical work.
[10:14] Zagan
I see.
[10:19] Zagan
You realize, Barbatos,
that you weren't invited?
[10:22] Barbatos
It wouldn't kill you to feed me, too!

Do we have enough food for the minion?
[10:28] Barbatos
Hey, dragon shrimp!

How many times do I gotta tell
you I'm nobody's minion?!

Watch your mouth.

I don't have a lot of incentive to not kill

Miss Chastille, Lord Barbatos,
please, make yourselves at home.

I'm going to prepare the meal.
[10:51] Chastille
Oh, I'll help.
[10:53] Nephy
That's all right. You must be tired.
[10:55] Nephy
You're our guest today.
[10:57] Chastille
It's fine. I want to help you.
[10:59] Nephy
Thank you very much, then.

Can you cook, Tail-Head?
[11:07] Chastille
Yeah, not as well as Nephy,
but I can handle most dishes.

[11:23] Zagan
The second she shows up, there's a ruckus.

There we go.
[11:34] Barbatos
Hey, Zagan...
[11:35] Zagan
Are you still here?
[11:37] Zagan
Don't touch anything.
[11:39] Zagan
There are barriers up that
could blow your arm off.
[11:41] Barbatos
I'm not that stupid!
[11:43] Barbatos
What the hell are you fiddling with there?
[11:45] Zagan
Never seen one before?
Granted, I hadn't, either.
[11:49] Zagan
Fixing these kinds of things
can be pretty interesting.
[11:51] Zagan
Ancient sorcery can be simplistic,
but very informative.
[11:56] Barbatos
You've got weird hobbies, y'know that?
[11:57] Barbatos
More importantly, you gotta do something
about that knucklehead chick!
[12:01] Barbatos
She's gonna die at this rate!
[12:03] Zagan
You mean Chastille?
[12:04] Zagan
Are there are still people in
the Church trying to kill her?
[12:07] Barbatos
This goes way beyond that!
[12:09] Barbatos
It's a whole comedy of errors
with her, every damn night!
[12:16] (Flashback) Chastille
There's still so much left.
[12:18] (Flashback) Chastille
This is gonna take until morning.
[12:23] (Flashback) Chastille
Okay, time for some tea!
[12:31] (Flashback) Chastille
I had finally organized it...
[12:35] (Flashback) Barbatos
Ugh, this klutz! I can't bear to watch!
[12:42] (Flashback) Chastille
Huh?
[12:55] Barbatos
I can't get a wink of sleep!
[12:57] Barbatos
At this rate, either she's
gonna die or I will!
[13:01] Zagan
I don't actually mind if you die.
[13:04] Barbatos
You don't?!
[13:06] Zagan
Look, I'll treat you to
all the drinks you want.
[13:09] Barbatos
You big jerk!
[13:11] Zagan
Knock it off.
[13:17] Nephy
Miss Chastille, how did the soup turn out?
[13:19] Chastille
I think this should do it.
[13:21] Chastille
Care to try, Nephy?
[13:23] Nephy
Sure.
[13:28] Chastille
Is something wrong?
[13:32] For
Is it that bad?
[13:34] Nephy
It's worse than the muddy water
I had to drink when I was young.
[13:38] For
Didn't she try it herself, though?
[13:42] Nephy
This is a threat to our home's dinner table!
[13:44] Nephy
I'll have to do something!
[13:47] Nephy
L-Let's leave this right here for now!
[13:50] Nephy
I'll... probably find a way to serve
it with tomorrow's breakfast.
[13:55] Nephy
So why don't you rest in your
guest room, Miss Chastille?
[13:58] Chastille
Find a way? But...
[14:01] Nephy
Please don't steal my job. Okay?
[14:08] For
Is it fixed?
[14:09] Zagan
Yeah.
[14:20] Chastille
That's lovely music.
[14:22] Nephy
It really is.
[14:23] Zagan
Yes. The interesting part
of this device is that
[14:26] Zagan
you can choose different songs
depending on the occasion.
[14:29] For
Good atmosphere.
[14:31] Zagan
Classy in a way that doesn't suit an
Archdemon's dinner party, I'd say.
[14:34] Raphael
I believe I once visited a dance hall
in a port town that had one of these.
[14:40] For
A dance hall?
[14:41] Raphael
The ladies and gentlemen danced hand-in-hand
to the music from the phonograph.
[14:47] Zagan
Really? You're pretty worldly.
[14:51] Raphael
But then, the sorcerers present attacked me,
[14:53] Raphael
which led to me being banned
from the premises.
[14:58] Raphael
Now then, everyone, please be seated.
[15:02] Everyone
Time to eat.
[15:04] Chastille
Wow, Nephy's cooking is as good as ever.
[15:08] Chastille
It's so refreshingly fragrant,
with a complex flavor profile.
[15:14] Barbatos
What the hell does a knucklehead
like you know about complex flavors?!
[15:18] Chastille
I don't see where you get
off making that criticism.
[15:23] Barbatos
If you don't like it, maybe grow up enough
to stop sleeping with a stuffed animal!
[15:28] Chastille
H-How do you know about Poco?!
[15:31] Barbatos
Poco?!
[15:33] Zagan
Are you drunk already?!
[15:35] Rapahel
Forgive me. He said you
gave him permission.
SIGN Empty
[15:39] Zagan

[15:41] Chastille
W-Wait, have you been peeping

[15:47] Barbatos
Why would anyone wanna peep
on you of all people?!
[15:49] Barbatos
I'm not a babysitter, dammit!
Why am I stuck watching out for you?!
[15:55] Chastille
I don't recall you looking out for me!
[15:58] Zagan
Oh, Chastille, he's just drunk.
Pay him no mind.
[16:02] Zagan
The way things are going, I definitely
can't tell her that he's been guarding her.
[16:05] Nephy
Oh, Miss Chastille?
[16:07] Nephy
When you collapsed from the poison,
[16:09] Nephy
it was Lord Barbatos who brought you here.
[16:12] Zagan
Nicely done, Nephy! Good save.
[16:15] Chastille
Wait, really?
[16:17] Chastille
I-I see. I don't really
remember what happened.
[16:21] Chastille
I appreciate what you did. Thank you.
[16:23] Barbatos
Save the thanks until after
you've grown into a finer woman!
SIGN Huh?!
[16:28] Barbatos
My ideal woman is someone older and
open-minded who'll spoil me rotten!
[16:34] Zagan
No one asked!
[16:37] Chastille
I notice you never actually
denied peeping on me.
[16:41] Chastille
And then you revealed Poco's existence...
[16:45] Nephy
P-Please don't cry!
[16:48] Zagan
It must've broken down.
[16:50] For
No fighting during meals!
[16:55] Zagan
For's right.
[16:57] Zagan
Barbatos, you're at fault here. Apologize.
[17:00] Barbatos
Hell no!
[17:04] Barbatos
Hey, this soup tastes wild!
The bitterness is real strong.
[17:08] Barbatos
I think I could get used to it!
[17:10] Nephy
Soup? I didn't serve any soup.
[17:14] For
That's the one that Tail-Head made.
[17:16] For
I put it out for the minion.
[17:18] Nephy
You did?!
[17:20] Nephy
A-Are you alright Lord Barbatos?
Do you feel strange at all?
SIGN Huh?
[17:29] Nephy
Lord Barbatos!
[17:30] Chastille
Nephy! Was the soup I made really that bad?!
[17:35] Nephy
Uh, well, that's...
[17:37] For
Quit crying, Tail-Head!
[17:39] Nephy
Miss Chastille...
[17:41] Chastille
Why?! Why?!
[17:46] Chastille
Nephy, seconds...
[17:57] Zagan
Nephy? You must be tired.
[18:00] Nephy
A bit.
[18:02] Nephy
But I had a good time.
[18:04] Nephy
I've never had a meal with
such a large group before.
[18:07] Nephy
And everyone ate so much.
[18:10] Zagan
The power of good food
shouldn't be trifled with.
[18:14] Nephy
Lord Zagan, why did you buy that phonograph?
[18:19] Zagan
Just a whim, but... I also
wanted you to enjoy some music.
[18:24] Nephy
Thank you.
[18:26] Zagan
Just wait a bit. It's almost fixed.
[18:28] Nephy
Lord Zagan, when you reminisce about the past,
you always look so sad.
[18:33] Nephy
But today seemed different.
[18:36] Zagan
Did it?
[18:39] Zagan
I'm not sure, but when
I lived on the street,
[18:42] Zagan
I didn't have a home or a
regular source of food,
[18:44] Zagan
but I did have friends to share bread with.
[18:46] Zagan
Maybe back then, I was less
lonely than I thought.
[18:51] Zagan
And I'm only now realizing...
[18:53] Zagan
Ever since I shut myself in this castle,
I've never gone back.
[18:56] Zagan
I wonder if anyone I knew is still around.
[18:59] Zagan
I hope they all managed to survive.
[19:02] Zagan
Say, Nephy...
[19:03] Nephy
Yes?
[19:04] Zagan
Would you mind if I returned
this to the streets?
[19:08] Nephy
Not at all.
[19:23] Zagan
I had no idea that singing
could sound so beautiful.
[19:28] Zagan
It's the same shock I felt the
first time I heard Nephy's voice.
[19:32] Zagan
Nephy... shall we dance?
[19:35] Zagan
I only meant to say that
her singing was nice!
[19:38] Nephy
Yes.
[19:39] Zagan
Y-Yes?!
[19:41] Zagan
O-Okay.
[19:50] Zagan
How does... one dance?
[20:00] Raphael
My lord, I can instruct you
on the necessary steps.
[20:06] Narrator
In the deep, deep forest
known as the Lost Woods,
[20:11] Narrator
a man who was once alone, was not any longer.
[20:17] Raphael
My lord, you need to actually
move for it to be practice.
[20:24] For
They're such a handful.
[20:29] Narrator
The next day...
[20:30] Narrator
The citizens of Kianoides
experienced a shock.
[20:35] Narrator
Music was playing from a back alley,
[20:38] Narrator
with children happily dancing to it.
[20:42] Narrator
It was like a spontaneous
festival that lasted all day.
[20:57] Narrator
But now, let's roll time
back to this evening.
[21:02] Narrator
The night that the two of them danced
together for the first time.
[21:06] Narrator
His name is Zagan.
[21:09] Narrator
Her name is Nephy.
[21:11] Narrator
And their very, very long
story has only just begun.
[21:25] Zagan
I wouldn't mind staying like this.
[21:28] Nephy
That's no fair, Lord Zagan.
