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?
SIGN    Episode 1:
    First Love Is Like a Nasty Disease
    That Everyone Catches Once
[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.
[10:00] Barbatos
    Kimaris the Black Blade.
SIGN    Kimaris the Black Blade
[10:02] Barbatos
    Gremory the Enchantress..
SIGN    Gremory the Enchantress
[10:04] Barbatos
    And there's even Valefor the Apparition.
SIGN    Valefor the Apparition
[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!
SIGN    An Archdemon's Dilemma:
    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?
[22:16] Zagan
    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...
[23:21] Narrator
    It was on this night that
    their long cohabitation...

    and their very, very long story began.

[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...
[03:57] Zagan
    "If I don't do something about
    this guy, he's going to die!"

[04:10] Zagan

    there's also been moldy bread...
SIGN    Munch

[04:18] Zagan
    There's something nostalgic
    about that sour taste.
[04:22] Zagan
    I wonder what normal people eat.

    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.

    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.

    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

    It's great that you have a

[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.

    what it is about Nephy
[17:37] Zagan
    that grabbed my attention at a glance.

[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...

[19:08] Nephy
    Yes.
[19:10] Nephy
    You never give me any orders, Master.
[19:13] Zagan
    I guess not.
[19:15] Nephy
    Master...
[19:17] Nephy
    Will you allow me to do things that
    I think will be of use to you?
[19:23] Zagan
    I will. Do as you wish, Nephy.
[19:27] Nephy
    Right. I will, then.
[19:33] Zagan
    You like these, right?
[19:35] Zagan
    Go ahead.
SIGN    Nom
[19:40] Zagan
    What do you think?
[19:42] Nephy
    It's good.
[19:51] Zagan
    For now, it seems...
[19:53] Zagan
    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!

[02:29] Zagan
    Did you clean it all?

    No, I baked some earlier.

    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.

    Then you can sit here.
[03:24] Nephy
    I wouldn't dare do something so rude!

[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.

    Please, try some, Master.

[04:07] Zagan

[04:09] Zagan

    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.
SIGN    Daze
[00:54] Zagan
    What's wrong?
[00:56] Nephy
    That's the first time you've said that to me.
[00:59] Zagan
    Does that mean I hadn't said a
    single word gratitude to her?!
[01:04] Zagan
    That's... Sorry.
[01:07] Nephy
    It's okay.
[01:08] Nephy
    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...

    You're the sorcerer, Zagan's...

[00:16] Nephy
    The Angelic Knight!
[00:17] Nephy
    Oh, I see.
[00:20] Nephy
    I'm going to be killed.
[00:24] Nephy
    Go on. Collect my head or
     whatever you intend to do.
[00:28] Chastille
    Hang on! You've got the wrong idea!
[00:30] Chastille
    I'm not going to hurt you!
[00:32] Nephy
    Angelic Knights kill sorcerers, don't they?
[00:34] Nephy
    I'm an apprentice to one.
[00:36] Nephy
    Now, go on.

    Hey, what's all the commotion?
[00:41] Passerby B
    Is that Nephy down there?
[00:43] Passerby A
    Is an Angelic Knight hassling her?
[00:45] Passerby
    Oh, right, because she works for a sorcerer...
[00:49] Nephy
    What's the matter?
[00:51] Nephy
    Don't Angelic Knights execute all
    known associates of sorcerers?
[00:55] Chastille
    S-Stop making me sound like a serial killer!
[00:58] Nephy
    You're not one?
[01:00] Chastille
    I am not!
[01:03] Manula
    Hold it right there, missy!
    You should be ashamed of yourself!
[01:06] Manula
    Angelic Knight or not, how could
    you bully this sweet little thing?
[01:10] Nephy
    Miss Manuela.
[01:11] Chastille
    H-Honestly, I wasn't going to...
[01:13] Passerby A
    Yeah, tell her off!
[01:15] Passerby B
    Nephy's a good girl and a good customer!
[01:18] Passerby C
    Look at how terrible she looks!
SIGN    She 
    looks 
    terrible
[01:20] Passerby C
    She must've been through some real hell!

    You monster!
[01:26] Passerby C

    Go away! Go away! Go away!
[01:33] Nephy
    Please, wait a minute.
[01:36] Nephy
    She hasn't actually done anything to me.
[01:42] Manuela
    But then why do you... look so terrible?
[01:46] Chastille
    I said it wasn't me!
[01:49] Chastille
    Even I get worried when
    I see a girl who looks hurt!
SIGN    Wahhhhhhhhhhh
SIGN    Episode 5: 
    Heartbreak Can Be Literally, Physically Painful
[03:35] Chastille
    Pardon me for losing my composure earlier.
[03:38] Maneula
    And you really weren't bullying Nephy?
[03:41] Chastille
    I keep telling you, no!
[03:43] Maneula
    But you do seem to know her.
[03:46] Chastille
    Th-That was from a previous mission...
[03:48] Maneula
    So you'd hurt her if it was for a mission?
[03:52] Nephy
    It's actually okay. She didn't end up
    doing anything to me that time, either.
[03:59] Manuela
    Really?
[04:00] Nephy
    It was a different person who hurt my
    master, and he's already paid for that.
[04:08] (Flashback) Torres
    Trees... scary...
[04:09] (Flashback) Alfred
    It's okay, Torres!
[04:11] (Flashback) Ryan
    This is just a potted plant!
[04:14] Server
    Got your order right here!
[04:17] Nephy
    Um... I can't accept this.
    I don't have any money.
[04:20] Manuela
    It's my treat. Don't worry, eat on up.
[04:24] Manuela
    You gotta pay for yours, though.
[04:25] Chastille
    What did I do to earn the cold shoulder?
[04:32] Nephy
    This... Where have I...
[04:35] Nephy
    Oh, right... Last night,
    I was making this for Master.
[04:40] Nephy
    Lamb stew.
[04:46] Nephy
    Huh?
[04:47] Chastille
    A-Are you okay?! Did I do something again?!
[04:51] Nephy
    Why... Why...
[04:53] Nephy
    Why did you do it, Master?
[04:59] Manuela
    Okay, then!
[05:00] Manuela
    Both of you can cry on the nice lady's
    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?

[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.
[13:06] Alfred
    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.
[13:29] Manuela

    Whatever. Maybe I'll save myself
    the trouble and toss them all out.
[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?
[15:55] Manuela
    You bet. Because I'm her friend!
[15:57] Zagan
    I see.

[16:04] Zagan
    Okay, fine! Just get your
    grubby mitts off me!
[16:09] Manuela
    They were snatched by some weird shadows,
    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.

    Hey, Barbatos. It's been what, a week?
[00:58] Barbatos
    How long have you known?
[01:00] Zagan
    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    Episode 6:
    If You're An Archdemon, 
    You're Practically Obligated To Act Outrageously
[02:54] Zagan
    Barbatos the Purgatory.
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!
[03:44] Zagan
    First your arms!
[03:47] Zagan
    Then your knees!
[03:58] Zagan
    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!
[04:33] Zagan
    Do I seem... hurt to you?
[04:36] Nephy
    Yes.
[04:39] Nephy
    Please... don't be alone, Master.
[04:44] Zagan
    Nephy...
[04:47] Zagan
    I was the one who left you alone.
[04:57] Barbatos
    Hey, asshole! I'm not dead yet,
    so don't think you've won!
[05:02] Nephy
    Master!
[05:03] Zagan
    It's fine.
[05:05] Zagan
    Nothing's going to happen.
[05:15] Barbatos
    Why? The sorcery is activating,
    but nothing happens!
[05:19] Nephy
    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.

    Wait, no.

    The Archdemon emblem?
[14:24] Zagan
    What exactly have I inherited?
[14:27] Zagan
    In that case, take your leave!
[14:32] Zagan
    Begone! This is no place for you.

[16:06] Manuela
    See you around, Nephy!
[16:10] Zagan
    So...
[16:11] Zagan
    Do you want to keep fighting, Barbatos?
[16:16] Barbatos
    After what I just saw?
    What the hell could I do?
[16:24] Barbatos
    So... what now?
[16:27] Barbatos
    I bring you some good booze,
    and you let me off the hook?
[16:30] Zagan
    Yeah. Make sure it's quality stuff.
[16:36] Barbatos
    Yeah, okay.
SIGN    Gasp!
[16:48] Zagan
    We're alone!
[16:50] Zagan
    What do I do? What should I say to her...
[16:52] Nephy
    Master.
[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
    l...
[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!

[00:07] Chastille
    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
    from having to cast this judgment?
[00:42] Clavwell
    It will take time, but eventually,
    your punishment will be rescinded.
[00:47] Chastille
    What do you mean, Your Excellency?
[00:49] Clavwell
    The Sacred Swords choose their wielders.
[00:52] Clavwell
    For one of the chosen to be punished
     like this would ordinarily be unthinkable.
[01:00] Clavwell
    Which is why I ask you to remain patient.
[01:03] Clavwell
    Old though I may be,
     I will find a way to resolve this.
[01:06] Chastille
    I am unworthy, sir.
[01:08] Chastille
    There are still people in the Church
    who see the value in someone like me.
[01:13] Clavwell
    Be wary, though. The only protection
    I can offer you is of a political nature.
[01:22] Clavwell
    A certain man is headed here.
[01:25] Clavwell
    The most dreadful of the
    Sacred Sword wielders,
[01:27] Clavwell
    Raphael Hyurandell.
[01:31] Clavwell
    I'm sure you've heard the rumors of
    what a ruthless individual he is.
[01:36] Clavwell
    I can only imagine why he is coming...
[01:39] Chastille
    If the Dread Angelic Knight is
    arriving at a time like this...
[01:42] Chastille
    The only thing that comes to mind... is that
    he's coming to purge me as an apostate.
[01:50] Chastille
    I only became an Angelic Knight
    to help as many people as I could reach.

[03:43] Zagan
    The brand of an Archdemon...
[03:46] Zagan
    And the entities known as "demons"
    that exist somewhere in the world.
[03:51] (Flashback) Demon
    My king... by your command...
[03:56] Zagan
    And the fact that one of those demons
    bowed down before that brand.
[04:00] Zagan
    I've been looking into it
    for the two weeks since.
[04:03] Zagan
    No clues have turned up among the
    materials I took from Marchosias' castle.
[04:11] Zagan
    It's Nephy...
[04:15] Zagan
    Is she trying to surprise me?

[04:23] Nephy
    Guess who?
[04:27] Nephy
    Um... huh...
[04:30] Nephy
    What do I do now?
[04:32] Zagan
    I'm wondering the same thing myself!
[04:34] Nephy
    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?
[05:04] Nephy
    Oh, right.
[05:05] Nephy
    Today's lunch is ready.
[05:08] Nephy
    The appetizer is a tomato and green vegetable
     salad with Caesar dressing and grated cheese,
[05:14] Nephy
    and a buttered rye roll on the side.
[05:16] Nephy
    The soup is a consomme with oatmeal.
[05:18] Nephy
    And for the main dish, sauteed lamb.
[05:22] Zagan
    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.
[05:42] Zagan
    That shop girl knows about cooking?
[05:45] Zagan
    Well, let's try it out then.
[05:47] Nephy
    Right!
SIGN    Siiigh
[05:57] Zagan
    I had no idea that food could taste so good.
[06:01] Nephy
    You say that every time, Lord Zagan.
[06:04] Nephy
    Also, for dessert today,
    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.
[07:07] Nephy
    But...
[07:23] Zagan
    This is an impatient one.
[07:25] Zagan
    And they made it through all
    my traps. Not bad at all.
[07:37] Valefor
    You're Zagan the Archdemon?
[07:40] Zagan
    Etiquette dictates giving your own
    name before demanding someone else's.
[07:44] Zagan
    That said, I think I saw you at the auction.
[07:48] Zagan
    Valefor the Apparition.
[07:50] Zagan
    One of the other Archdemon candidates.
[07:52] Valefor
    Archdemon Zagan! I will slay
    you and take your power—
[07:56] Zagan
    I'm in the middle of a meal.
     You'll need to wait.
[08:03] Nephy
    If you like, I can make some more later...
[08:06] Zagan
    That would be nice, but that's a separate
    issue from letting this batch go to waste.
[08:10] Valefor
    You're mocking me!
[08:18] Zagan
    This arm... isn't from sorcery.
[08:25] Zagan
    Fool. I warned you!
[08:28] Zagan
    You're going to get dirt on
    my food! Give it a rest!
[08:36] Zagan
    I accidentally said what
    I was thinking out loud...
[08:40] Zagan
    Well, there's bound to be
    more incidents like this.
[08:43] Zagan
    I'll probably need to strengthen my barriers.
[08:50] Zagan
    Leave him be, Nephy. It'll be a
    while before he's conscious...
[08:53] Nephy
    No, it's just... this girl...
[08:56] Zagan
    She's a girl?
[08:59] Nephy
    She's a child.
[09:01] Zagan
    Did I just knock a little girl unconscious?!
[09:08] Zagan
    C-C-Calm down, Nephy.
    I believe we have some cold medicine..
[09:13] Nephy
    You need to calm down, Lord Zagan!
    Cold medicine won't help with this!
[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:

[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...

[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.

    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.

    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.

[00:33] Zagan
    Stop, Barbatos.
[00:34] Barbatos
    Dammit! Did you eat my sorcery again?!

    Settle down. You're spoiling my drink.
[00:41] Barbatos
    Why are you so relaxed?!
[00:43] Barbatos
    You just gonna let this guy carve you up?!
[00:45] Zagan
    I don't think he's here to fight.
[00:49] Zagan
    I don't sense any bloodlust or animosity.

SIGN    Episode 9:
    The Angelic Knight Situation Sounds Like
     a Mess I'd Rather Not Get Involved In
[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
    O-Okay...

[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.
[01:18] For
    This concludes Valefor's
    Archdemon Observation Log.
[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.
[01:45] For
    Thank you.

    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!

[14:17] Zagan
    Congratulations, For.
[14:18] Zagan
    It seems he won't die easily.
[14:21] Zagan
    You should start thinking about
    how you intend to punish him.
[14:24] For
    Right.
[14:27] Raphael

    lived for a millennia...
[14:45] Zagan
    And he was For's Father?
[14:48] Zagan
    Could a dragon like that really
    have been killed by this man?
[14:54] For
    My father used his wisdom
    to help the people,
[14:58] For
    and for his guidance, they called
    him the Sage Dragon, Orobas.
[15:03] For
    One day, a group of Angelic Knights
     came calling on him.
[15:07] For
    I didn't know what they wanted.
[15:10] For
    But my father left with those
    knights and never returned home.
[15:17] For
    After seven days, I decided
    to search for him.
[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.

[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.

    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.
SIGN    Episode 12:

[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.

    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.

    I see.
[10:19] Zagan
    You realize, Barbatos,
    that you weren't invited?
[10:22] Barbatos

    please, make yourselves at home.

    Thank you very much, then.
[11:05] For
    Can you cook, Tail-Head?
[11:07] Chastille
    Yeah, not as well as Nephy,
    but I can handle most dishes.
[11:11] Chastille
    Now, what do you need me to do?
[11:23] Zagan
    The second she shows up, there's a ruckus.
[11:25] Zagan
    Let's see...
[11:27] Zagan
    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
    The whole bottle?!
[15:41] Chastille
    W-Wait, have you been peeping
    on me from the shadows?!
[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.
