[00:09] ---
    Oh my god!
[00:11] ---
    Who would do such a horrible thing?!
[00:27] ---
    Although they don't have any
    pronounced external injuries...
[00:30] ---
    Sure enough...
[00:31] ---
    Their vitality has been sucked up.
[00:34] ---
    It bears a great resemblance to whatever the
    student from our school was preyed upon by.
[00:42] ---
    Melida.
[00:44] ---
    Let's see what your private
    tutor has to say about this.
[00:47] ---
    Th-the thing is...
[00:50] ---
    I haven't been able to find him
    since I woke up this morning.
[00:55] ---
    There's no doubt that young man is a key
    person of interest in relation to this incident!
[01:00] ---
    Track him down and bring him before me!
[01:05] ---
    If that's what you ask of us, Blossom!
[01:07] ---
    Yeah, right on!
[01:11] ---
    Hey, Lita.
[01:12] ---
    There's something I want to tell you about.
[01:16] ---
    Sorry, Elli.
[01:17] ---
    I want to be alone right now.
[01:22] ---
    Lita...
[02:55] ---
    The Last Testament of a Certain Skeleton
[02:59] ---
    Why would Instructor Kufa do that?
[03:01] ---
    Did he really?
[03:04] ---
    Attention everyone!
[03:05] ---
    We may have experienced
    a heartbreaking event,
[03:08] ---
    but try not to let it get to you.
[03:11] ---
    Let's press on and continue
    our studies and training here.
[03:17] ---
    Can't say I'm impressed.
[03:20] ---
    To think a top student like
    yourself is trying to escape!
[03:23] ---
    I bet you were thinking,
[03:25] ---
    "If no one is going to believe him,
[03:27] ---
    then I need to take my instructor's
    side and stand by him."
[03:30] ---
    Am I right?
[03:32] ---
    W-well...
[03:37] ---
    Pretty foolish, aren't you?
[03:38] ---
    I'm seeing you in a new light.
[03:40] ---
    Maybe you have the right idea.
[03:42] ---
    Seems a lot more worthwhile than some
    boring investigation of historic ruins.
[03:49] ---
    In the first place, Angel...
[03:50] ---
    Have you started to get an idea of what
    it is we should be investigating?
[03:54] ---
    I don't know.
[03:56] ---
    But I can't just stand around and do nothing.
[04:00] ---
    The mystery spots.
[04:02] ---
    Kufa was talking about them.
[04:04] ---
    He said in recent years there's been an unnatural
    surge in the number of mystery spots in town.
[04:09] ---
    Instructor Kufa said that?
[04:11] ---
    He asked a favor of me.
[04:13] ---
    He said, "If anything should happen to me,
    I'd like you to watch over Lady Melida."
[04:19] ---
    Jeez, he goes and asks me of all people...
[04:22] ---
    My instructor did such a thing?
[04:24] ---
    We're gonna go around town
    and ask some questions now.
[04:26] ---
    But, I stand out too much.
[04:29] ---
    Being an instructor at my age and all...
[04:31] ---
    Ah, so that's why you're disguising
    yourself as a student?
[04:35] ---
    What do you think?
[04:36] ---
    Does it suit me?
[04:40] ---
    Oh...?
[04:41] ---
    You're still inside the hotel?
[04:43] ---
    Shouldn't you be attending to your studies?
[04:48] ---
    My little sister left something
    behind in the room!
[04:50] ---
    She was being a big baby saying,
    "I can't go back unless my big sis is with me,"
[04:54] ---
    which is why we're here together!
[04:56] ---
    I-I love my kindhearted big sister!
[05:00] ---
    Oh my, the two of you certainly are close.
[05:05] ---
    Here's some chocolate for you.
[05:09] ---
    Y-yay!
[05:16] ---
    Hey, Angel, I'll get even with you for that.
[05:21] ---
    In any case, let's start
    gathering some information.
[05:23] ---
    Okay, I'll give it a shot!
[05:27] ---
    Hey now, Angel!
[05:29] ---
    Excuse me!
[05:30] ---
    Oh, a cute little schoolgirl.
[05:33] ---
    Something I can help you with?
[05:34] ---
    Actually, there's something I'd like to
    ask people from this town about...
[05:37] ---
    What is it?
[05:39] ---
    You see, I'm looking into
    this town's mystery spots.
[05:46] ---
    They scolded me harshly, saying,
    "Don't go near them on a lark."
[05:51] ---
    I did get a piece of candy, though.
[05:54] ---
    I award you zero points.
[05:57] ---
    I'll show you how it's done.
[06:00] ---
    Big Sis, buy me some flowers!
[06:03] ---
    Huh?
[06:04] ---
    S-sure.
[06:06] ---
    What an unusual scent and shape...
[06:08] ---
    Big Sis, what's this flower called?
[06:11] ---
    Uh, let me see...
[06:13] ---
    Well, you see...
[06:15] ---
    It's a selectively-bred variety that might as well
    be called a Shangarta brand, young ladies.
[06:20] ---
    Amazing!
[06:22] ---
    Being able to enjoy colorful
    flowers in an arid land like this
[06:25] ---
    is one of the many things
    that's all thanks to Blossom.
[06:28] ---
    Ma'am, as a matter of fact,
    we're doing some research.
[06:33] ---
    Oh, about what?
[06:34] ---
    About the great achievements of
    Marquis Blossom Pricket!
[06:39] ---
    Well that's just wonderful, isn't it?!
[06:41] ---
    Yes!
[06:42] ---
    Speaking of Marquis Blossom's achievements,
    there's the development of new crop varieties...
[06:46] ---
    and also - let's see...
[06:49] ---
    The identification of mystery spots, right?!
[06:51] ---
    Thanks to which there are far fewer people
    who end up getting injured these days!
[06:55] ---
    What's a "mystery spot"?!
[06:57] ---
    I've heard they're dangerous places...
[07:04] ---
    Well done indeed, Instructor Laque!
[07:06] ---
    What can I say?
[07:07] ---
    Although for now I've resigned myself
    to the position I temporarily hold...
[07:10] ---
    The true me is...
[07:13] ---
    Pretty amazing like that, you know!
[07:14] ---
    Extracting intel during the course
    of a spontaneous conversation...
[07:17] ---
    is only the beginning of what I can do.
[07:19] ---
    The mystery spots that old
    lady mentioned were...
[07:22] ---
    "The Whirlpool Forest,"
[07:24] ---
    "The Zero-Gravity Cave,"
[07:26] ---
    and...
[07:27] ---
    The most suspicious of all
    was "The Crooked House."
[07:30] ---
    That must be it!
[07:36] ---
    Blossom Pricket was especially strict about
    forbidding anyone from entering this area.
[07:45] ---
    There's nothing here.
[07:51] ---
    Just as I suspected.
[07:53] ---
    This place isn't a mystery spot.
[07:55] ---
    Huh?
[07:56] ---
    This log cabin didn't become
    crooked over time...
[08:00] ---
    It was built that way from the start.
[08:03] ---
    But why?!
[08:04] ---
    By hiding something within
    another "product of nature,"
[08:07] ---
    the aim was probably to make sure people
    and their prying eyes kept their distance.
[08:12] ---
    There it is.
[08:20] ---
    Hey, Angel.
[08:21] ---
    There's no telling what
    might happen down there.
[08:25] ---
    Stay close by at all times.
[08:34] ---
    I bet this is meant to prevent intruders.
[08:38] ---
    If it was just an ordinary cellar,
[08:39] ---
    there'd be no need to construct
    it so deep underground.
[08:42] ---
    And not putting on lamps on the
    stairway is also quite absurd.
[08:45] ---
    By instilling a sense of fear and anxiety,
[08:48] ---
    the aim is to deter people from
    heading further inside, you see.
[08:53] ---
    To put it the other way around,
[08:54] ---
    it speaks to the fact that
    venturing inside is unadvisable.
[09:01] ---
    Seems we've arrived.
[09:05] ---
    A dungeon?
[09:32] ---
    Instructor Laque, who are those people?
[09:35] ---
    Judging from their clothing,
    they're likely residents of Shangarta.
[09:39] ---
    Moreover, those aren't regular old corpses.
[09:41] ---
    Huh?
[09:43] ---
    Loup-garous...
[09:44] ---
    Humans affected by the "night gene-factor"
    who weren't able to fully transform,
[09:50] ---
    would-be lancanthropes...
[09:52] ---
    Those corpses are failed loup-garous.
[09:57] ---
    Look at that man's arm.
[10:05] ---
    That's the man who...
[10:08] ---
    "Rare illness"? Yeah, right!
[10:10] ---
    The thing raging around
    this town is no disease.
[10:13] ---
    The residents are being used
    for some sort of experiment.
[10:17] ---
    The Marquis is starting
    to look pretty suspicious.
[10:20] ---
    Marquis Blossom?
[10:22] ---
    The specimens he collected that
    he professed as diseased
[10:25] ---
    were likely carried to this place that's hidden from
    public view and then used in his experiments.
[10:32] ---
    And I suppose that's why he deliberately
    increased the number of mystery spots.
[10:36] ---
    How half-hearted!
[10:39] ---
    It's not enough...
[10:40] ---
    Blood! Show me some blood!
[10:42] ---
    Kill them! Go on and kill them!
[10:45] ---
    Hey, Angel, are you listening to me?
[10:48] ---
    That voice...
[10:52] ---
    There's going to be another incident!
[10:54] ---
    Hey! Angel?!
[10:57] ---
    Why...
[10:59] ---
    Do I know where the next incident
    is going to take place?
[11:05] ---
    They say someone's been attacked again.
[11:07] ---
    This time it was a school kid...
[11:09] ---
    She's dead... DEAD!
[11:16] ---
    Headmistress!
[11:18] ---
    Miss Angel, where have you been?
[11:25] ---
    Why...?
[11:26] ---
    Why did this happen?!
[11:29] ---
    Elli?!
[11:30] ---
    Hang in there, Elli!
[11:33] ---
    She's breathing...
[11:35] ---
    What a relief.
[11:38] ---
    Elli isn't wounded...
[11:40] ---
    So, where's this blood from?
[11:44] ---
    Rosetti, why did you die?
[11:48] ---
    Why was it that you had to be murdered?!
[12:04] ---
    Instructor Rosetti...
[12:06] ---
    Is dead?
[12:08] ---
    Headmistress?
[12:10] ---
    When we rushed over here after being notified,
    we arrived to the same scene you did.
[12:15] ---
    Miss Angel.
[12:17] ---
    You didn't take part in the
    training session either, right?
[12:20] ---
    C-correct.
[12:22] ---
    It would seem Elise noticed your absence,
    became concerned, and then headed back here.
[12:28] ---
    Elli did that?
[12:29] ---
    It's probable that Instructor
    Rosetti then accompanied her...
[12:34] ---
    So long as she went along with her,
    I gave my tacit approval,
[12:37] ---
    but it turned out to be most careless of me.
[12:41] ---
    There are signs that Instructor
    Rosetti put up a fight.
[12:44] ---
    Assuming she was overpowered
    and wrestled to the floor,
[12:48] ---
    the culprit is no average joe.
[12:50] ---
    Must be that man!
[12:53] ---
    I bet he's a soldier!
[12:54] ---
    Hail the town folk for me!
[12:57] ---
    It's that man with the military
    uniform and the black hair!
[12:59] ---
    He's the guy who killed Rosetti!
[13:02] ---
    Drag him before me ASAP!
[13:06] ---
    Ah, Marquis Blossom...
[13:08] ---
    My daughter's soul is still here with us!
[13:11] ---
    I'll attempt to bring her back to life!
[13:12] ---
    Marquis, is it right to handle
    Lady Rosetti so roughly?
[13:16] ---
    What the hell would a school kid know?!
[13:19] ---
    I'm a man who's been called a sage!
[13:21] ---
    I shall overcome even the
    state between life and death!
[13:46] ---
    Soundly defeating a Paladin and the
    Carrier Marquis at the same time, huh?
[13:50] ---
    There aren't too many people
    capable of pulling that off.
[13:56] ---
    Excuse me, Instructor Laque.
[13:59] ---
    Could you please give me a
    little time alone with Elli?
[14:05] ---
    In any case...
[14:06] ---
    We're not going to be able to leave this
    town until the lightning outside subsides.
[14:12] ---
    There can be no more jumping
    the gun and acting rashly.
[14:23] ---
    I'm sorry, Elli.
[14:25] ---
    If I hadn't gone off on my own like that...
[14:28] ---
    You never would have gotten wrapped
    up in that incident, you know?
[14:32] ---
    Hey, Lita...
[14:33] ---
    There's something I want to tell you about.
[14:37] ---
    Elli...
[14:40] ---
    Back then...
[14:42] ---
    What was it you wanted to tell me?
[15:02] ---
    Elli...
[15:03] ---
    I'm weak, so lend me your strength.
[15:07] ---
    Get that student!
[15:08] ---
    The pupil of that uniform-clad man!
[15:10] ---
    Hurry up!
[15:10] ---
    What?!
[15:11] ---
    Avenge Rosetti!
    What?!
[15:11] ---
    Avenge Rosetti!
    Melida!
[15:12] ---
    You need to get out of here right away!
[15:14] ---
    Shenfa, did something happen?
[15:17] ---
    This time Marquis Blossom was attacked!
[15:21] ---
    Apparently, the culprit wounded the Marquis
    and then made off with Rosetti's corpse.
[15:26] ---
    At the scene of crime,
    there were some flames of blue mana left behind.
[15:30] ---
    Even the academy director is no longer
    capable of standing up for your instructor.
[15:36] ---
    She in there?!
[15:37] ---
    That blond student!
[15:42] ---
    Open up!
[15:43] ---
    Wh-what's going on?
[15:46] ---
    The townspeople have become aware
    of your connection to Instructor Kufa.
[15:50] ---
    They're saying that if they take you hostage
    they'll be able to lure out the culprit.
[15:56] ---
    Let's break down the door!
[15:57] ---
    Yeah!
[15:58] ---
    Make a run for it, Melida!
[16:00] ---
    Hurry!
[16:01] ---
    Okay!
[16:11] ---
    I'm sorry.
[16:13] ---
    Shenfa.
[16:15] ---
    Elli.
[16:16] ---
    Headmistress.
[16:17] ---
    Instructor Laque.
[16:19] ---
    Instructor Kufa.
[16:23] ---
    I'm going to get to the bottom of this!
[16:25] ---
    For the sake of Elli and Instructor Rosetti.
[16:28] ---
    And, above all, in order
    to save Instructor Kufa!
[16:37] ---
    Sure enough, I can hear it...
[16:39] ---
    The sound of water.
[16:42] ---
    Milady, have you grown tired of the lecture?
[16:45] ---
    Instructor...
[16:47] ---
    No!
[16:48] ---
    Stay away from there!
[16:51] ---
    This area is a mystery spot!
[16:53] ---
    It's a world in which conventional
    wisdom does not apply!
[16:57] ---
    I now know based on my investigation
    with Instructor Laque...
[16:59] ---
    Mystery spots include more than just
    places affected by magnetic fields.
[17:04] ---
    Besides...
[17:05] ---
    Instructor Kufa was also trying to keep me
    away from this boulder for some reason.
[17:23] ---
    "Mystery spot"? I think not!
[17:26] ---
    There's definitely some
    trickery at play here.
[17:46] ---
    A spiderweb?
[18:17] ---
    Is that...
[18:18] ---
    Marquis Blossom's signature?
[18:25] ---
    And here, too... and here... and here...
[18:28] ---
    The writing in all of them regards
    research on the "night gene-factor"
[18:32] ---
    and its extraction and transplantation?
[18:35] ---
    "From lancanthropes, the basis of the curse,
[18:37] ---
    the night gene-factor,
    must first be extracted."
[18:40] ---
    Then, infect humans with it.
[18:43] ---
    In theory, it should be possible.
[18:46] ---
    However, there can be no expectation that
    such a dreadful experiment will succeed.
[18:53] ---
    In fact, seven years ago I failed
    to control the night gene-factor.
[19:04] ---
    I can sense it.
[19:05] ---
    Someone has crept inside my old haunt.
[19:09] ---
    I currently lack the sense of sight...
[19:11] ---
    Who the hell are you?
[19:14] ---
    I-I'm a young Paladin
    girl named Melida Angel!
[19:18] ---
    Now, what about you?
[19:19] ---
    Show yourself!
[19:21] ---
    A Paladin...?
[19:24] ---
    I see.
[19:25] ---
    You'll make for a very useful
    specimen in the experiments.
[19:29] ---
    A bright idea just occurred to me.
[19:31] ---
    What...?
[19:44] ---
    Instructor Rosetti?!
[19:46] ---
    So you're still alive, then!
[19:54] ---
    I want it...
[19:56] ---
    I want...
[19:57] ---
    Blood.
[19:59] ---
    Give me your blood!
[20:11] ---
    Blue... mana?
[20:14] ---
    This is the mana of the culprit!
[20:17] ---
    Lita!
[20:17] ---
    Someone has been attacked again!
[20:20] ---
    By that blue-flamed criminal!
[20:22] ---
    Instructor Rosetti, did you...
[20:24] ---
    Was all of this your doing,
    Instructor Rosetti?!
[20:35] ---
    Now, drink!
[20:36] ---
    This time, suck the very
    life out of your prey!
[20:38] ---
    Present me with the sweet smell of blood!
[20:42] ---
    His pupil shall be the first one sacrificed!
[20:53] ---
    Instructor...?!
[20:54] ---
    Snap out of it, Rose!
[20:58] ---
    So you've shown yourself, Ice King!
[21:14] ---
    Rose!
[21:16] ---
    You're not an inhabitant of the darkness!
[21:18] ---
    Your memories of the time you spent as a
    human should act to constrain you now!
[21:24] ---
    Remember!
[21:25] ---
    Remember all the people who love you!
[21:37] ---
    It's futile.
[21:39] ---
    There's no defying seven
    years' worth of thirst.
[21:42] ---
    Just sit back and watch the repulsive sight
    of that woman fall under my control.
[21:56] ---
    Instructor...
[21:59] ---
    What's with your appearance?
[23:36] ---
