[00:06] Chastille
    You there, are you okay?
[00:12] Chastille
    You're the sorcerer, Zagan's...
[00:14] Nephy
    It's you...
[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.
[00:39] Passerby A
    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!
[01:23] Chastille
    I didn't...
[01:23] Passerby A
    Go away, Angelic Knight!
[01:25] Passerby B
    You monster!
[01:26] Passerby C
    Stop demanding offerings!
[01:28] Crowd
    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?
[11:03] Alfred
    Lady Chastille!
[11:05] Alfred
    Here you are!
[11:06] Torres
    It's the one from before!
[11:09] Nephy
    The person who hurt my
    master... It's been a while.
[11:12] Torres
    Eek, she looked at me!
[11:14] Ryan
    Calm down, Torres!
[11:16] Chastille
    Of all the timing...
[11:18] Manuela
    What's going on? Are these the
    guys who hurt Nephy's master?
[11:23] Manuela
    And you guys wonder why
    people hate the Church!
[11:24] Chastille
    I am a little curious as to
    what your issue is with us!
[11:28] Torres
    Where the plants?! Where are they?!
[11:30] Ryan
    There are no plants in here, Torres!
[11:33] Chastille
    Just calm down!
[11:35] Voice(Barbatos)
    Everyone getting along. Isn't that sweet?
[11:41] Ryan
    Wh-Who goes there?!
[11:43] Chastille
    Run, Manuela!
[11:45] Manuela
    Chastille!
[11:48] Voice
    One got away. No matter.
[11:51] Voice
    My name is Zagan!
[11:52] Ryan
    Zagan!
[11:54] Alfred
    Lady Chastille!
[11:55] Voice
    If you want these women back,
    you will come to my castle.
[12:02] Nephy
    Why are you doing this...
SIGN    An Archdemon's Dilemma:
    How to Love Your Elf Bride
[12:14] Zagan
    I'd forgotten how quiet it can
    get when you're on your own.
[12:19] Alfred
    Impossible... The three Cerulean Knights
    were helpless, even fighting as one...
[12:26] Zagan
    It's your own fault for falling into one
     of my traps when you ambushed me.
[12:31] Zagan
    I didn't even need to do anything.
[12:33] Zagan
    Come to think of it,
    I made this trap with Nephy...
[12:42] Zagan
    This is for the best.
[12:43] Zagan
    Nephy only spent two weeks with me.
[12:47] Zagan
    With a bit of distance, no one will dig
    into our relationship and put her at risk.
[12:52] Zagan
    The people in Kianoides are fond of her.
[12:56] Zagan
    She should be able to live
    a peaceful, pleasant life,
[12:59] Zagan
    without having to worry about
    sorcerers or the Church.
[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
    Mister Sorcerer!
[13:33] Alfred
    How dare you, bird woman?!
[13:35] Manuela
    I already told you guys, he wasn't the one!
SIGN    Do you have any manners at all?! Who stands on another person's head like that?!
[13:39] Zagan
    What is going on here?
[13:41] Zagan
    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.
[15:59] Alfred
    W-Wait! Take us, too!

[16:03] Ryan
    Take us to Lady Chastille!
[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.
