[00:03] Narration
    They say the children were
    the first to notice.
[00:08] Toma
    Hey, wait, Nico... I said to wait!
[00:11] Toma
    If you get lost, I'm the one
    who'll get in trouble!
[00:14] Toma
    How many times have you been told
    not to wander in the forest?
[00:18] Toma
    If you're eaten by wolves, don't blame me!
[00:21] Toma
    Not to mention, the Kushans recently...
[00:23] Nico
    Fairy.
[00:25] Nico
    Toma, I saw a fairy.
[00:27] Toma
    What are you talking about?
[00:29] Toma
    This is why I didn't want to
    bring you along, shrimp!
[00:32] Boy1
    Don't, Toma.
[00:34] Boy1
    But I sort of understand why
    Nico might feel that way.
[00:38] Boy1
    I can't really explain... But lately,
    haven't you felt a bit weird?
[00:41] Boy2
    Huh? You, too?
[00:42] Boy3
    Yeah, I've felt strange, too.
[00:44] Toma
    What are you talking about?
[00:46] Boy1
    We've been coming to this forest forever.
[00:49] Boy1
    But has it always been like this?
[00:51] Toma
    What do you mean?
[00:53] Boy1
    It almost feels like we're in the forest,
[00:56] Boy1
    but it's in our dreams...
[01:00] Boy1
    Did you hear something?
[01:02] Boy1
    Like someone laughing?
[01:11] Boy3
    It stopped...
[01:13] Toma
    What now?!
[01:14] Nico
    Toma, look.
[01:19] Toma
    A forest demon!
[01:21] Nico
    Monster.
[01:23] Narration
    Secretly...
[01:24] Narration
    The hollows of trees,
    the ground beneath graves,
[01:28] Narration
    between the waves,
[01:30] Narration
    the whispers of the wind,
[01:32] Narration
    the bottom of wells,
[01:34] Narration
    the darkness of attics...
[01:37] Narration
    Secretly,
[01:38] Narration
    imperceptibly,
[01:40] Narration
    the silence was no longer silent.
[01:46] Narration
    Just as in tales told by
    the old to the young,
[01:51] Narration
    as though it had always been there,
[01:54] Narration
    something indeed dwelt
    within the silence.
SIGN    The Rent World
[03:35] Erica
    Good morning, Dad.
[03:52] Guts
    We're back.
[03:53] Puck
    Heya.
[03:55] Erica
    Guts... Casca...
[04:04] Guts
    I guess...
[04:06] Guts
    We were a little late.
[04:09] Erica
    It happened right after you left, Guts.
[04:11] Guts
    Sorry.
[04:12] Erica
    No, even Dad said
[04:15] Erica
    that simply being able to see you
    before he died was enough.
[04:19] Erica
    And he didn't want you
    to see him after he'd died.
[04:23] Erica
    But thank goodness! I'm so
    happy you found Casca!
[04:27] Erica
    If she hadn't been found, it would
    have been all my fault.
[04:31] Erica
    Hey, so what are you going
    to do now, Guts?
[04:34] Erica
    You aren't leaving Casca
    behind again, are you?
[04:38] Erica
    Let's all live here together.
[04:44] Erica
    I'm sure if you stay and are nice to
    her, Casca won't run off again!
[04:52] Guts
    Yeah.
[04:55] Erica
    Really? You really mean it?
[04:57] Erica
    It's a promise!
[04:58] Guts
    Yeah.
[04:58] Erica
    Yay!
[05:00] Puck
    Are you sure?
[05:00] Erica
    Yay! Yay! Yay, yay, yay!
[05:02] Puck
    That was a pretty empty promise.
[05:06] ---
    Yay!
[05:07] Guts
    It's a half-assed promise.
[05:09] Erica
    Yay! Yay!
[05:10] Guts
    As soon as we got Casca back...
[05:12] Guts
    No.
[05:13] Guts
    Even when I was swinging my
    sword to get her back,
[05:18] Guts
    I...
[05:21] Guts
    When he appeared before me,
[05:23] Guts
    he wasn't in demon form, but human.
[05:27] Guts
    As if he'd shown up just
    as he'd been back then.
[05:31] Guts
    The moment I saw him,
    I forgot all my malice.
[05:36] Guts
    And that is unforgivable!
[05:40] Guts
    It was an aimless journey.
[05:43] Guts
    All I had were strange rumors
[05:45] Guts
    and the faint presence
    I felt from the brand.
[05:48] Guts
    I had no idea where he was...
[05:50] Guts
    No... I searched for his
    shadow, not in this world,
[05:53] Guts
    pushing through souls of the dead.
[05:56] Guts
    But now, he's in the same world as I am.
[06:01] Guts
    Treading the same ground I do.
[06:04] Guts
    Within the reach of my sword!
[06:10] Erica
    I just remembered we
    have a guest right now.
[06:13] Guts
    A guest?
[06:14] Erica
    Yeah, he's apparently an old
    acquaintance of Rickert's.
[06:19] Erica
    He said he was a friend from
    when Rickert was a soldier,
[06:22] Erica
    so maybe you know him, too.
[06:26] Erica
    He has long, silver hair.
[06:28] Erica
    And he's so pretty, I could
    hardly believe he's a man!
[06:33] Erica
    He looks like he stepped
    out of a fairy tale.
[06:43] Rickert
    I still can't believe it.
[06:45] Rickert
    That day, no one other than
    Guts and Casca came back.
[06:50] Rickert
    Judeau, Corkus, Pippin...
[06:53] Rickert
    No one...
[06:55] Rickert
    I don't know what happened that day.
[06:59] Rickert
    Guts won't tell me.
[07:01] Rickert
    I thought everything had ended...
[07:06] Rickert
    But to think we'd meet again!
[07:14] Rickert
    Guts!
[07:26] Rickert
    Guts?
[07:28] Rickert
    Wait a minute!
[07:30] Guts
    Out of the way, Rickert!
[07:31] Rickert
    No! How could you suddenly
    attack him like that?
[07:34] Rickert
    He's Griffith... He's our Griffith!
[07:39] Rickert
    How could you?
[07:41] Guts
    He's not the Griffith you knew anymore!
[07:48] Rickert
    What are you talking about?
[07:49] Guts
    Just get out of the way!
[07:51] Rickert
    No! What's going on?!
[07:54] Griffith
    I see you haven't changed.
[07:56] Griffith
    Your sword still moves before your mouth.
[07:59] Griffith
    No, actually...
[08:01] Guts
    Don't talk about me...
[08:03] Griffith
    It is exactly as it was when we met.
[08:06] Guts
    With the same face, the same
    laugh, the same voice!
[08:10] Guts
    You bastard... Why the hell
    did you come here?
[08:15] Griffith
    To see you.
[08:18] Griffith
    Back at that tower, it was rather chaotic.
[08:21] Griffith
    So I had no chance to speak to you alone.
[08:25] Griffith
    I thought this place more fitting,
[08:27] Griffith
    since we Band of the Hawk have reunited.
[08:31] Guts
    Don't you dare say that name!
[08:36] Griffith
    I came to learn...
[08:38] Griffith
    If I stood before you, in my new body,
[08:42] Griffith
    whether my heart would be moved.
[08:48] Griffith
    It appears that I... am free.
[08:54] Guts
    Nothing...
[08:56] Guts
    For what you did...
[08:57] Guts
    For all those you betrayed...
[09:00] Guts
    You're saying you feel nothing at all?!
[09:04] Griffith
    I shan't betray my dream.
[09:07] Griffith
    That is all.
[09:14] Zodd
    It's been a while, Black Swordsman.
[09:19] Guts
    Zodd!
[09:29] Erica
    What's the matter, Casca?
[09:31] Puck
    This presence!
[09:40] Rickert
    He managed to stop a swing from
    that giant blade Guts has?
[09:44] Rickert
    Who is that man?
[09:50] Zodd
    Well done in surviving,
    despite my prediction.
[09:54] Zodd
    This makes me happy, boy!
[10:17] Zodd
    Very good.
[10:19] Zodd
    As a human, you've done
    well to gain such a form.
[10:22] Zodd
    I wanted to face you again like this,
[10:26] Zodd
    once you'd lived through that carnage.
[10:28] Guts
    What's going on?
[10:30] Guts
    Why are you with Griffith?
[10:33] Guts
    Get out of my way!
[10:35] Guts
    I have business with Griffith.
[10:37] Zodd
    Words are meaningless.
    Force your way through.
[10:47] Guts
    Such strength with his sword.
[10:48] Guts
    If I stay on defense, he'll crush me.
[10:58] Guts
    If I blink, my head will be split open.
[11:02] Guts
    Matching his blows is rattling my bones.
[11:05] Guts
    I can't just absorb this force!
[11:08] Guts
    But I can fight.
[11:10] Guts
    The countless nights trying to reach
    him have built me up to this point!
[11:14] Guts
    You're just in the way!
[11:17] Rickert
    It's so intense...
[11:18] Rickert
    I've never seen a fight like this,
    not even on the battlefield.
[11:22] Rickert
    Guts has grown stronger. So much
    that I can't even imagine.
[11:26] Rickert
    He's handling that giant
    blade like it's nothing.
[11:29] Rickert
    But that rage... That fury is
    directed toward Griffith?
[11:34] Rickert
    But why?
[11:38] Rickert
    My...
[11:45] Rickert
    Not good!
[11:56] Rickert
    This battle is unbelievable.
[11:58] Rickert
    That man is amazing, too.
[12:00] Rickert
    But Guts makes decisions in a second.
[12:03] Rickert
    Life or death battles... Guts has
    survived them countless times.
[12:13] Griffith
    My blood should have frozen over.
[12:17] Griffith
    Are these feelings from the infant
[12:20] Griffith
    that fused into my vessel?
[12:30] Zodd
    Well done.
[12:32] Zodd
    Even as a human, you survived the eclipse.
[12:35] Zodd
    That strength saw you through
    fights with apostles.
[12:40] Zodd
    It seems this horse-slaying sword
    I stole from the Kushans
[12:44] Zodd
    really is no match for your
    demon-slaying sword.
[12:49] Zodd
    A splendid blade and splendid technique.
[12:52] Guts
    I'm just getting started!
[12:54] Zodd
    I haven't had enough yet.
[13:02] Zodd
    I haven't devoured enough!
[13:06] Rickert
    Zodd?
[13:08] Rickert
    There's no doubt about it.
[13:09] Rickert
    That... That man...
[13:13] Rickert
    He's Nosferatu Zodd.
[13:18] Rickert
    What's going on?
[13:48] Rickert
    Guts!
[13:55] Rickert
    That's...
[13:56] Rickert
    Master Godo's mine!
[14:02] Erica
    Hey, Casca...
[14:04] Erica
    Jeez, walking off on your own again!
[14:10] Guts
    You idiot! Stay away!
[14:12] Erica
    Guts? There was a really loud noise.
[14:39] Erica
    A monster!
[14:44] Guts
    Casca!
[14:50] Guts
    Cas—
[14:53] Erica
    Casca!
[15:20] Guts
    Stop...
[15:32] Griffith
    Enough.
[15:34] Griffith
    Let's go.
[15:46] Guts
    Wait! Where are you—
[15:48] Griffith
    I told you. I shall claim my kingdom.
[15:53] Griffith
    Nothing has changed.
[16:02] Griffith
    Rickert...
[16:05] Griffith
    Nothing has ended.
[16:08] Griffith
    After learning the truth,
    if you loathe me, so be it.
[16:11] Griffith
    But even still,
[16:14] Griffith
    if you wish to pursue our dream,
    I have no reason to refuse.
[16:21] Rickert
    Wait... I don't understand!
[16:24] Rickert
    What's the truth?!
[16:33] Rickert
    Guts, no!
[16:35] Guts
    Move, Rickert!
[16:37] Guts
    Nothing has changed?
[16:39] Guts
    You did all that...
[16:41] Guts
    And nothing has changed?!
[16:44] Griffith
    You should have known
[16:46] Griffith
    that I was this kind of man.
[16:49] Griffith
    You of all people.
[16:57] Rickert
    Guts... Tell me.
[17:00] Rickert
    On that day, what happened
    to Griffith and the others?
[17:04] Rickert
    I have a right to know, don't I?!
[17:07] Rickert
    No, I need to know...
[17:10] Rickert
    Guts!
[17:22] Rickert
    Is that true?
[17:27] Rickert
    How is... How is something like that...
[17:31] Puck
    I had an idea, but...
[17:34] Puck
    I see. That image was from that time.
[17:44] Erica
    Aw, it all caved in.
[17:47] Erica
    What now?
[17:48] Erica
    Just when we were together,
    Guts and Casca's home...
[17:51] Rickert
    I'll go with you.
[17:53] Rickert
    You've been carrying
    all that weight alone.
[17:56] Rickert
    While I just stayed here, clueless...
[18:01] Rickert
    Take me with you!
[18:02] Rickert
    I'm a part of the Band of the—
[18:03] Guts
    No.
[18:04] Rickert
    Why not?!
[18:06] Guts
    You don't loathe Griffith.
[18:10] Erica
    You're leaving?!
[18:13] Erica
    Everyone...
[18:14] Erica
    Everyone's leaving?
[18:17] Rickert
    Erica!
[18:19] Puck
    Hurry and go after her.
[18:29] Puck
    So, what are we going to do?
[18:31] Puck
    Continue on
[18:33] Puck
    this journey of revenge?
[18:35] Guts
    I won't leave Casca behind again.
[18:37] Puck
    You're taking Casca with you?
[18:39] Guts
    I know.
[18:41] Guts
    I know that it's impossible...
[18:43] Puck
    But the elven mine is destroyed.
[18:46] Puck
    So isn't staying here more impossible?
[18:50] Puck
    If two branded people stay
    in one place for too long,
[18:54] Puck
    we know bad things will happen,
    given the Tower of Conviction.
[18:58] Guts
    Aren't there other nearby
    places where elves live?
[19:01] Puck
    Maybe so, but will you keep
    Casca locked up until then?
[19:05] Puck
    That isn't very nice.
[19:06] Puck
    She ran away because she didn't
    want that, didn't she?
[19:10] Puck
    I'll just have to search my
    elven pearls of wisdom.
[19:15] Puck
    Oh, I know!
[19:17] Puck
    It's a bit far, but it's a beautiful paradise.
[19:20] Puck
    Probably the safest place in the world!
[19:22] Guts
    Where's that?
[19:23] Puck
    My home.
[19:41] Soldier 1
    Stop...
[19:42] Soldier 3
    Help!
[19:50] Woman 1
    What's going to happen to us?
[19:52] Woman 4
    I heard a rumor that
[19:54] Woman 4
    Kushans offer women as
    sacrifices to their god.
[19:57] Woman 1
    No, that's...
[19:58] Woman 2
    No matter how you see it,
    the kingdom is finished.
[20:01] Woman 1
    The Band of the Hawk... If only
    that man were here...
[20:04] Woman 2
    It's a bit late for that now.
[20:07] Sonja
    He's coming.
[20:08] Woman 2
    Huh?
[20:09] Sonia
    Someone will save us soon.
[20:11] Woman 1
    What are you talking about?
[20:12] Woman 2
    After seeing her parents burned alive,
    I wonder if she's lost her mind.
[20:17] Sonia
    He's coming.
[20:18] Sonia
    The Hawk of Light is coming.
[20:21] Sonia
    That's what the wind is whispering.
[20:25] Kushan General
    To think your clan was unable
    to capture a single man.
[20:29] Kushan General
    How pathetic the Bakiraka are.
[20:32] Kushan General
    And you have the nerve to say he got
    on a demon and disappeared.
[20:37] Silat
    If I may have a word.
[20:38] Silat
    I heard that this invasion began because
    the oracle received a prophecy.
[20:43] Silat
    So this paranormal phenomenon
    shouldn't be strange—
[20:48] Kushan General
    You are as slaves, from traitorous groups,
[20:52] Kushan General
    that think yourselves soldiers!
[20:55] Kushan General
    I'm sure the Emperor promoted
    such as you to soldiers in jest.
[20:59] Kushan General
    To think he'd give you a mission
    on a whim, as well...
[21:06] Kushan General
    Wh-Wh-What are you doing—
[21:09] Silat
    I have a more pressing matter,
    so if you'll excuse me.
[21:13] Remnant Soldier 1
    We failed.
[21:14] Remnant Soldier 2
    Run—
[21:18] Remnant Soldier 1
    Damn it!
[21:26] Silat
    Please pardon me.
[21:28] Kusahn General
    Such skill... Are they monsters?
[21:32] Silat
    We will now continue our
    search for the hawk.
[21:51] Sonia
    That's...
[23:25] Erica
    Take care!
[23:27] Erica
    Make sure you protect her, Guts!
[23:31] Guts
    When I fled the Band of the Hawk,
    it was also in snow like this.
[23:37] Guts
    This time, I guess I was
    the one left behind.
[23:44] Guts
    I won't leave you again...
[23:49] Guts
    I won't lose you this time.

[02:19] Puck
    Hey, come on now...
[02:21] Puck
    Guts, she also ate your share.
[02:24] Guts
    That's fine.
[02:25] Puck
    But you need to eat, too!
[02:28] Puck
    Never thought I'd see Guts so responsible.
[02:31] Puck
    It's rather unexpected.
[02:33] Puck
    But he may be overdoing it a bit...
[02:36] Guts
    Puck, what's your homeland like?
[02:40] Puck
    Well, it's just the best!
[02:43] Puck
    Elfhelm!
[02:45] Puck
    A utopia that lies on the Western Sea.
[02:48] Puck
    Flowers are always blooming,
    birds are always singing,
[02:51] Puck
    and elves are always dancing.
[02:53] Puck
    Open all year round.
[02:54] Puck
    An elven paradise, where it's always spring.
[02:56] Puck
    Oh, my beautiful home.
[02:59] Guts
    If it's that great a place,
    why did you leave?
[03:04] Puck
    I got bored of it.
[03:06] Guts
    To think I'd have to rely on him.
[03:12] Guts
    But right now, I have to cling
    to any slim hope there is.
[03:16] Puck
    Guts, you should sleep a bit, too.
[03:18] Puck
    Before night falls.
[03:19] Puck
    It'll be fine.
[03:20] Puck
    If something happens, I'll wake you.
[03:23] Guts
    Thanks, I'll take you up on that.
    I'm counting on you.
[03:27] Puck
    Roger.
[03:37] Black beast
    Will you sleep? Will you dream?
[03:40] Black beast
    Dream about him?
[03:43] Black beast
    Why? Why not pursue him?
[03:46] Black beast
    Let's go. Let's go to him.
[03:50] Black beast
    Let's give him some iron.
[03:54] Black beast
    Because of this woman with
    you? Is she that precious?
[03:59] Black beast
    More than Griffith?
[04:02] Black beast
    That woman is no longer the
    warrior you used to know.
[04:08] Black beast
    This woman is
[04:09] Black beast
    a sacrifice that lives only so
    you can pine after Griffith.
[04:13] Guts
    Go away.
[04:14] Black beast
    There are better ways to
    deal with sacrifices.
[04:17] Black beast
    See? If you do this,
[04:19] Black beast
    you'll connect with Griffith
    on a much deeper level.
[04:23] Guts
    Stop!
[04:25] Black beast
    That is what you long for.
[04:39] Guts
    When did the sun set?
[04:42] Guts
    I was a fool to believe in you.
[04:48] Guts
    It isn't true.
[04:53] Guts
    It isn't...
[04:59] Serpico
    Well, at least
[05:02] Serpico
    we found a place to shelter
    from the snow and wind.
[05:07] Serpico
    A quiet time like this definitely makes
    you feel you're on a journey.
[05:11] Farnese
    How?
[05:13] Farnese
    It's cold, I'm hungry, this is horrible.
[05:16] Serpico
    Then, shall we give up on
    the Black Swordsman
[05:19] Serpico
    and return to the Holy See?
[05:20] Farnese
    I have no intention of doing that.
[05:22] Farnese
    Are you saying that I should tell the
    supreme court that monsters
[05:25] Farnese
    swallowed the Holy Iron Chain
    Knights and the refugees?
[05:29] Farnese
    Rather than only being replaced,
    we'd probably face an inquisition!
[05:33] Farnese
    And I have no plans to
    return to that mansion.
[05:38] Farnese
    By the way, why don't you
    come a little closer?
[05:42] Serpico
    No... Since I'm acting as lookout.
[05:49] Serpico
    The first time I met Lady Farnese
    was also on a night like this...
[06:22] Young Serpico
    A strange rabbit...
[06:24] Farnese
    Insolent boy!
[06:30] Farnese
    Listen well.
[06:32] Farnese
    I'm the one who saved your life.
[06:35] Farnese
    So from today on, you belong to me.
[06:39] Farnese
    Swear it.
[06:41] Farnese
    Swear your complete obedience.
[06:43] Young serpico
    Yes, Lady Farnese.
[06:45] Serpico's Mother
    At a nobleman's mansion?
[06:48] Young Serpico
    I was told to work and live
    there, starting tomorrow.
[06:52] Young serpico
    The pay is pretty good,
[06:53] Young serpico
    so I'm thinking of hiring a
    maid to take care of you.
[06:58] Serpico's mother
    This is the perfect opportunity
    to get closer to the nobility.
[07:01] Serpico's Mother
    Be sure to work hard.
[07:04] Young Serpico
    Yes.
[07:05] Serpico
    The Vandimion family. Its wealth
    is said to be world class,
[07:09] Serpico
    exceeding a country's national budget.
[07:14] Lady servant
    You poor thing...
    I'm surprised you've lasted.
[07:17] Lady servant
    Usually, Lady Farnese's servants
[07:19] Lady servant
    can't handle her awful disposition,
    and end up running away.
[07:23] Lady servant
    One child even had her clothes set
    on fire, severely burning her.
[07:28] Serpico
    Everyone in the mansion feared
    and loathed the little tyrant,
[07:33] Serpico
    as if touching an abhorrent boil.
[07:36] Serpico
    But she was that way for a reason.
[07:40] Serpico
    Federico, head of the
    Vandimion household,
[07:43] Serpico
    was passionate about his work
    and was never home.
[07:47] Serpico
    Her mother left her at home,
    to lead a life of debauchery.
[07:52] Serpico
    Lady Farnese was left all alone,
    unsupervised, in a vast mansion.
[07:58] Serpico
    She lived as she pleased,
    in a gigantic cage.
[08:05] Farnese
    Listen well.
[08:06] Farnese
    You will stay here and hold
    my hand all night.
[08:10] Young Serpico
    Yes, my lady.
[08:12] Farnese
    No!
[08:14] Farnese
    Do something about that thunder!
[08:17] Young Serpico
    That's out of my hands—
[08:22] Young serpico
    Lady Farnese!
[08:26] Young serpico
    Lady Farnese?!
[08:31] Farnese
    Oh, storm...
[08:32] Farnese
    I just need to become a storm, as well!
[08:35] Serpico
    There was something truly
    ghastly about that sight.
[08:39] Serpico
    One snowy night, Lord Federico
    returned home.
[08:44] Serpico
    A year had passed since I'd been hired,
[08:47] Serpico
    but it was my first time seeing him.
[08:49] Farnese
    Father!
[08:50] Federico
    Wait a while, Farnese. I'm in the
    middle of discussing business.
[08:57] Farnese
    Yes, Father.
[09:00] Federico
    Oh? And what is that filthy doll?
[09:03] Farnese
    Eh?
[09:04] Federico
    Throw it away. I shall buy as
    many new ones as you'd like.
[09:08] Farnese
    Um...
[09:09] Federico
    But for now, just run along.
[09:11] Farnese
    Um...
[09:13] Farnese
    Yes, Father...
[09:17] Serpico
    Later, a servant at the mansion explained
[09:19] Serpico
    that the doll was a sentimental
    memento for Lady Farnese,
[09:24] Serpico
    having been bought by her father
[09:28] Serpico
    on the sole family trip they'd taken.
[09:32] Young serpico
    Lady Farnese—
[09:33] Farnese
    Go away.
[09:36] Farnese
    Or I'll burn you, too.
[09:46] Young serpico
    What is it, my lord?
[09:48] Federico
    What is that around your neck?
[09:51] Young serpico
    This?
[09:52] Federico
    Let me have a closer look.
[09:55] Federico
    Ah... I thought so.
[09:58] Serpico
    My first meeting with my father.
[10:01] Federico
    The Vandimion family already
    has three boys
[10:05] Federico
    fighting to be the next family head.
[10:10] Federico
    In order to avoid needless
    conflict and confusion,
[10:14] Federico
    I ask that you keep your
    identity confidential.
[10:19] Young serpico
    Would you go to see my mother?
[10:23] Federico
    In due course.
[10:24] Serpico
    It was a polite dismissal.
[10:27] Serpico
    With his power,
[10:29] Serpico
    finding my mother should have
    been a simple matter.
[10:33] Serpico
    My poor mother...
[10:38] Noble 1
    Lady Farnese, may I have this dance?
[10:42] Farnese
    Pardon me.
[10:43] Farnese
    Serpico, dance with me.
[10:45] Noble 1
    She's so unapproachable.
    Such a difficult person.
[10:49] Noble 2
    Does she plan to dance only
    with her bodyguard?
[10:53] Noble 2
    Who is he, anyway?
[10:53] Noble 3
    From what I hear,
[10:55] Noble 3
    he has a title, but originally,
[10:57] Noble 3
    he was Lady Farnese's servant.
[11:01] Noble 4
    He was a commoner?
[11:04] Noble 3
    Apparently, Lord Federico himself,
    her father, is his legal guardian.
[11:10] Serpico
    Lady Farnese?
[11:10] Noble 3
    He's done a good job of assimilating.
[11:15] Farnese
    I shan't allow you to speak ill of my guest!
[11:17] Serpico
    Lady Farn...
[11:19] Farnese
    This calls for a duel!
[11:20] Farnese
    However, as I am a woman,
[11:22] Farnese
    you'll fight the one of whom
    you spoke so rudely.
[11:25] Serpico
    I knew it...
[11:29] Noble 3
    Does this mean we have a draw?
[11:31] Serpico
    Well done.
[11:33] Noble 3
    Not at all.
[11:33] Noble 3
    Your skill is such that I can hardly
    believe you were a commoner.
[11:36] Noble 3
    No surprise that you are the guard for
    Vandimion household's young lady.
[11:40] Noble 3
    I apologize for my earlier
    rudeness, Lady Farnese.
[11:50] Farnese
    This wound is from last week...
[11:52] Farnese
    This and this one from last month.
[11:55] Farnese
    At this rate, you'll end up a patchwork doll.
[11:59] Farnese
    Why don't you make every effort?
[12:01] Farnese
    With your skill, you should be
    capable of winning any duel!
[12:08] Serpico
    You think too highly of me.
[12:10] Farnese
    Very well, then...
[12:12] Farnese
    I suppose seeing a patchwork doll
    will be quite amusing next time.
[12:31] Farnese
    Marriage?
[12:32] Federico
    He is a very generous member
    of the royal family.
[12:36] Federico
    He knows of your awful temperament,
    but still agreed to meet you.
[12:41] Federico
    I know I needn't say it, but this
    is also for our family's good.
[12:43] Farnese
    U-Um...
[12:45] Federico
    Do you understand?
[12:48] Farnese
    Yes, Father.
[12:52] Serpico
    Lady Farnese! Lady Farne—
[13:03] Farnese
    Outside... I cannot survive
    outside of this place.
[13:07] Farnese
    But if you were to take me
    from here to run away...
[13:12] Farnese
    Because you are as twisted as I.
[13:26] Serpico
    I am still uncertain why
    we could not run away
[13:29] Serpico
    from the yokes restraining us back then.
[13:33] Servant 1
    Fire!
[13:35] Servant 2
    The mansion! The lady has lost her mind!
[13:50] Federico
    The engagement has been called off.
[13:54] Federico
    She is a demon spawn.
[13:56] Federico
    I cannot handle her.
[14:00] Farnese
    Charge!
[14:03] Serpico
    Then Lady Farnese, as though
    she were possessed,
[14:07] Serpico
    headed an army to hunt down heretics.
[14:11] Serpico
    Her diligent devotion to her work
[14:13] Serpico
    astonished even the supreme court.
[14:22] Monk
    We finally managed to infiltrate
    their headquarters.
[14:26] Monk
    Who'd have thought an asylum
    would be their den?
[14:29] Monk
    Well done, Lady Farnese.
[14:31] Serpico
    Mother...
[14:34] Monk
    You, there. What did you just say?
[14:37] Serpico
    Why? Why is my mother here?
[14:40] Serpico's Mother
    Oh, Lord...
[14:43] Serpico
    This must be some kind of mistake.
[14:46] Serpico
    Because my mother... My mother
    comprehends nothing anymore.
[14:51] Farnese
    Serpico?
[14:53] Serpico
    Mother...
[14:55] Monk
    Did you just say that is your mother?
[14:58] Monk
    You say your mother is among them?
[15:01] Farnese
    That isn't true!
[15:03] Farnese
    No heretic is among the relatives
    of a Holy Iron Chain Knight!
[15:06] Monk
    But I'm certain I heard him.
[15:09] Monk
    If this is true, it's a major problem.
[15:31] Farnese
    You throw the flame.
[15:33] Serpico
    Lady Far—
[15:36] Farnese
    Prove it to me! Prove that
    she is not your mother!
[15:42] Farnese
    Swear to me once more...
[15:45] Farnese
    I am your master...
[15:48] Farnese
    Only I.
[15:54] Farnese
    From now... until forever.
[15:59] Serpico
    What did we burn away?
[16:03] Serpico
    From what were we delivered?
[16:05] Serpico
    And by what were we tied down?
[16:10] Farnese
    It's flurrying. Let us depart.
[16:15] Serpico
    Lady Farnese is chasing
    that Black Swordsman.
[16:19] Serpico
    As though she tries to melt
    the snow with flame.
[16:32] Puck
    You can do it! Just a little
    more, and it'll be dawn!
[16:37] Puck
    Hey, Casca! It's dangerous over there!
[16:42] Puck
    Guts!
[16:55] Puck
    Guts!
[16:59] Guts
    Stop...
[17:02] Guts
    Stop it!
[17:13] Guts
    Hey... Casca!
[17:17] Puck
    Thank goodness...
[17:22] Guts
    Casca...
[17:29] Guts
    Casca!
[17:41] Puck
    Hey, come on. This is going too far.
[17:44] Puck
    At this point, it's like the witch hunt.
[17:46] Guts
    What else can I do?
[17:49] Puck
    Well, you have a point...
[17:52] Puck
    But she'll just dislike you even more.
[17:54] Guts
    Right now, the most important things
[17:56] Guts
    are protecting Casca and traveling fast.
[17:58] Guts
    I don't care about anything else.
[18:06] Puck
    Trouble! This isn't good, Guts!
[18:09] Puck
    Wake up! Wake up!
[18:11] Puck
    If we don't hurry, the sun will set.
    Let's split up and find her.
[18:16] Gut - italics
    Casca...
[18:20] Bandit 1
    Oh, man...
[18:21] Bandit 1
    All the nearby villages
    and towns are empty.
[18:24] Bandit 1
    Nothing to eat.
[18:26] Bandit 2
    You know, I think we've about
    reached the end of the line.
[18:30] Bandit 2
    It's good the authorities aren't after us,
[18:32] Bandit 2
    but if we run into Kushans, we're done.
[18:35] Bandit 1
    No kiddin'.
[18:36] Bandit 2
    I'm not picky,
[18:38] Bandit 2
    but I wanna break the habit of water
    in our bellies and no women.
[18:43] Bandit 1
    Hey!
[18:45] Bandit 2
    My jerky!
[18:48] Bandit 2
    Well, aren't you a pretty, little thing?
[18:51] Bandit 1
    You're gonna violate a pilgrim?
[18:53] Bandit 1
    There'll be divine punishment.
[18:55] Bandit 2
    Nah, man.
[18:56] Bandit 2
    This must be a gift sent from
    God to poor bandits like us.
[19:02] Bandit 1
    Well, guess that works.
[19:05] Bandit 1
    Thanks, God!
[19:12] Guts
    Casca!
[19:32] Guts
    Casca!
[19:53] Guts
    Cas...
[19:59] Guts
    Don't!
[20:53] Guts

[20:57] Puck
    Hey, Casca!
[21:01] Puck
    If we don't hurry and find her, it'll be...
[21:04] Puck
    Oh, that's...
[21:07] Puck
    Hey, Dropey!
[21:09] Puck
    Well, if it isn't Dropey!
[21:10] Isidoro
    Puck! I hinally 'ound 'ou!
[21:16] Serpico
    Oh, my...
[21:19] Farnese
    You caught him?
[21:20] Puck
    Oh?
[21:22] Puck
    We've got some visitors!
[21:25] Isidoro
    Hey.
[21:25] Serpico
    Hi.
[21:27] Guts
    You guys...
[21:28] Isidoro
    Ever since that day, I've been
    searching for you like crazy!
[21:31] Isidoro
    You won't get away from me that easy.
[21:34] Isidoro
    Wait, where's Casca?
[21:36] Puck
    Oh, yeah! Casca!
[21:39] Puck
    Thank goodness... You're safe!
[21:42] Isidoro
    What? What happened?
[21:44] Isidoro
    Why is Casca all tied up?
[21:47] Puck
    It's for her own safety.
[21:49] Isidoro
    Huh...
[21:52] Guts
    What do you want?
[21:55] Guts
    You still plan to capture me?
[21:58] Serpico

    My enemies, your pardon

[03:40] Locus
    My name is Locus.
[03:42] Locus
    Divine revelation has
    led me to this land.
[03:46] Locus
    I believe you are the Hawk of Light.
[03:48] Locus
    Am I correct?
[03:49] Gr
    Sir Locus, the Moonlight Knight.
[03:51] Gr
    I accept your sword.
[03:53] Locus
    A great honor!
[03:56] Women
    The Hawk of Light...
[03:57] Women
    The Hawk... It isn't possible.
[04:00] Women
    I heard he died.
[04:01] Women
    No, I saw his face at the
    Windham victory parade.
[04:05] Women
    There's no mistaking it.
[04:08] Women
    He is Midland's true guardian deity.

[04:41] Silat
    There is no advantage to be had

[04:45] Silat
    Instead, let us use the chaos
    and capture the hawk.
[04:50] Sonia
    He is so beautiful.
[04:53] Sonia
    Almost as if he isn't human.
[05:00] Sonia
    Watch out!
[05:06] Tapasa
    Impossible.
[05:08] Tapasa
    We were repelled?
[05:11] Rakshas
    Slow. Dull of edge.
[05:15] Rakshas
    These are Tapasa, the best of
    the Bakiraka? How pitiful.
[05:20] Tapasa
    That mask!
[05:21] Tapasa
    You're Raksas!
[05:23] Silat
    Why is the clan's exile here?
[05:25] Rakshas
    I was given a prophecy.
[05:27] Rakshas
    So you are the Hawk of Light.
[05:32] Rakshas
    You're beautiful.
[05:37] Rakshas
    Someday, I will cut off your
    head and make it mine.
[05:47] Rakshas
    Until then, I will let no one harm you.
[05:52] Rakshas
    It's playtime.
[06:04] Guard
    Shut the castle gates!
[06:05] Guard
    Close off their escape route!
[06:13] Guard
    A giant?
[06:15] Guard
    Naga?
[06:16] Guard
    Stand your ground. There is but one foe.
[06:18] Guard
    To arms!
[06:34] Guard
    I have a message!
[06:35] Guard
    All men, to arms!
[06:39] Guard
    What the...
[06:41] Guard
    Who are you?
[06:51] Sonia
    What a nauseating stench...
[06:55] Sonia
    My mind's numb from the
    overwhelming scent of blood.
[07:01] Sonia
    Everything is dyed red.
[07:05] Sonia
    Everything is stained red,
[07:07] Sonia
    red as the setting sun casts
    its rays on the blood...
[07:11] Sonia
    The sight should be gruesome, and yet...
[07:14] Sonia
    And yet it was like a painting,
    beautiful beyond compare.
[07:24] Sonia
    Without a doubt, we were all in
    a tale beyond comprehension.
[07:48] F
    Please let us accompany
    you on your journey.
[07:52] F
    Come, you kneel, too.
[07:56] G
    What do you want?
[07:57] I
    This is fishy as hell!
[07:58] I
    What's with the complete about-face?
[08:01] I
    The first chance they get,
    I bet they'll tie us up!
[08:03] F
    I have already secularized myself...
[08:06] F
    I am no longer with the Order.
[08:07] I
    We can't trust you!
    You're a bloody aristocrat!
[08:10] F
    I want to know the truth
[08:13] ---
    that transcends the ordered
    system to which I clung.
[08:16] F
    And I want to learn
[08:18] ---
    how to survive in the darkness,
    where order's light does not reach.
[08:23] F
    To learn from you.
[08:29] F
    Please guide us.
[08:34] I
    You can use big words to talk in
    circles, but I won't be duped!
[08:38] P
    Yeah, not gonna be duped.
[08:38] I
    How are you gonna make up
    for what you did to Casca?
[08:43] P
    How you gonna make it up?
[08:44] I
    She was almost burned alive!
[08:46] I
    If you say enemies can
    become friends overnight,
[08:49] I
    maybe you should throw yourself
    on the ground and apologize, eh?
[08:52] I
    Can you manage that, you smug noble?
[08:55] I
    Oh, yeah? You wanna fight?
[08:57] I
    B-Bring it!
[09:07] F
    This is all I can do now.
[09:10] F
    I swear I shall make amends.
[09:15] P
    Say any more, and you'll be the villain.
[09:18] G
    Why are priests and nobles
    so over the top?
[09:23] G
    Do what you want.
[09:25] F
    Th-Then...
[09:26] I
    Well, that was quick.
[09:29] G
    I don't need you to make
    amends or apologies.
[09:31] G
    I killed your guys, too.
    It goes both ways.
[09:36] G
    But no thanks to being your guide.
[09:38] G
    Not my thing.
[09:40] G
    I don't know what you want to
    learn, but do what you like.
[09:43] G
    Stay out of my way,
    and I won't interfere.
[09:46] F
    We are grateful.
[09:48] G
    No need for that yet.
[09:50] G
    Coming with us means you won't
    be able to sleep at night.
[09:55] I
    Oh?
[09:55] I
    So we'll run into more ghosts
    and monsters and stuff?
[09:58] I
    J-Just what I want!
[10:01] P
    Something's weird.
[10:02] P
    Why would Guts let people he
    doesn't know into his circle?
[10:10] G
    If it were just me...
[10:12] G
    If I were my usual self, I'd have
    turned them down in a second.
[10:18] G
    But this time, I'm in a bind.
[10:20] P
    Go and gather firewood.
[10:21] G
    It's the first time
[10:23] ---
    I find myself counting on
    people I don't know.
[10:24] P
    Don't let the fire go out tonight.
[10:25] I
    Why do you get to order us around?
[10:28] G
    I am horrified by my own malice.
[10:33] G
    I feel crushed by powerlessness.
[10:41] G
    When was the last time she smiled?
[10:58] Mule
    I'm not doing this for the royal house
[11:00] Mule
    or to uphold my honor!
[11:03] Mule
    It's to
[11:04] ---
    save my people!
[11:08] Mule
    Stand your ground!
[11:09] Mule
    Follow me!
[11:14] Mule
    What the...
[11:15] Mule
    A Midland hostage?
[11:19] General
    Fire at will!
[11:21] General
    Fire!
[11:26] Mule
    They're firing volleys right
    through their own men!
[11:30] General
    Cavalry, charge!
[11:31] General
    Annihilate them!
[11:34] Mule
    Is this the end?
[11:37] Sonia
    Watch out!
[11:43] Mule
    What?
[11:52] Mule
    Reinforcements?
[11:54] Enemy
    New forces on the right flank!
[12:03] Enemy
    On the left flank, too!
[12:09] General
    Wh-Who are they?
[12:21] General
    That's...
[12:22] General
    That banner!
[12:39] Sonia
    There...
[12:43] Sonia
    A spot of emptiness.
[12:45] Sonia
    And along its path, the center
    of the enemy focus!
[12:52] Sonia
    Lord Griffith!
[12:58] Enemy
    H-He's flying!
[13:37] Mule
    Unbelievable.
[13:38] Mule
    Is this really a battlefield?
[13:41] Mule
    Look at their peaceful smiles.
[13:43] Mule
    They hardly look like people
    devastated by a foreign army.
[13:47] Sonia
    It's because of Lord Griffith.
[13:50] Mule
    Griffith... You mean that white hawk?
[13:53] Sonia
    We can smile because
    Lord Griffith is with us.
[13:58] Mule
    Did this girl just read my mind?
[14:03] Sonia
    Welcome to the Band of the Hawk.
[14:11] Mule
    These men have such high morale!
[14:16] Mule
    Kushans!
[14:17] Mule
    Are they Kushan men?
[14:18] Sonia
    That's right.
[14:19] Mule
    Wait a minute...
[14:20] Mule
    What's going on? Why are
    our foes helping us?
[14:23] Sonia
    Could you please stop yelling?
[14:25] Locus
    They defected.
[14:28] Mule
    Wh-What?
[14:29] Mule
    What an intimidating man...
[14:32] Locus
    It is our code.
[14:34] Locus
    Prisoners must stand on the
    front lines three times.
[14:38] Locus
    Those who survive the arrows
    choose defection or death.
[14:43] Locus
    Those who choose to be allies will
    not suffer discrimination
[14:46] Locus
    and may rise through our ranks.
[14:49] Locus
    Depending on circumstance,
    they may even lead others.
[14:51] Mule
    That's ridiculous!
[14:53] Mule
    How can you trust former
    foes to lead other men?
[14:55] Locus
    Even the Kushan Empire
    is not a monolith.
[14:58] Locus
    It is governed by a ruling clan that
    subjugated various others.
[15:04] Locus
    Many clans still nurse grudges.
[15:07] Mule
    But still...
[15:09] Mule
    What of us Midlanders?
[15:12] Mule
    The suffering of people who lost
    homes, cities, and families?
[15:18] Locus
    Though both sides may harbor hatred,
    we are ultimately all human beings.
[15:23] Locus
    Should you choose to stay,
[15:24] Locus
    you will learn that former foes are
    more similar than you realize.
[15:29] Mule
    Who was that knight?
[15:32] Sonia
    Sir Locus.
[15:33] Sonia
    He's in charge of training new recruits.
[15:36] Mule
    Locus!
[15:37] Mule
    You mean Sir Locus,
    the Moonlight Knight?
[15:40] Sonia
    I thought that might surprise you.
[15:42] Sonia
    All the nobles are.
[15:45] Mule
    He's won countless accolades in combat.
[15:47] Mule
    While being undefeated in duels,
    he has never chosen a master.
[15:52] Mule
    Instead, he's remained a free man,
    the strongest warrior alive.
[15:55] Mule
    Why is such
[15:58] Mule
    a living legend here?
[16:02] Sonia
    There are things that will probably
    surprise you even more.
[16:06] Sonia
    As Sir Locus said, you'll be surprised
    by more than Kushan defectors.
[16:11] Sonia
    This is a shortcut.
[16:13] Sonia
    Hup.
[16:18] Mule
    What is the ominous presence
    in this forest?
[16:23] Mule
    Beasts...
[16:24] Mule
    A pack of wolves?
[16:26] Mule
    Hey, wai—
[16:37] Sonia
    You didn't notice them?
[16:39] Sonia
    They were working hard during
    the fight earlier, too.
[16:41] Sonia
    We call them the demon army.
[16:44] Mule
    The demon army!
[16:49] Sonia
    They're better now, though they
    may not look it.
[16:52] Sonia
    Before, they'd sometimes
    eat our Kushan prisoners.
[16:58] Demon
    G-Girl, you've come alone again?
[17:04] Sonia
    Just let me go, will you? Perv.
[17:05] Mule
    Hey, let go of—
[17:07] Mule
    Whoa!
[17:08] Demon
    I-It'd be great to eat human flesh again!
[17:11] Sonia
    I'll tell Lord Griffith.
[17:15] Demon
    N-Not that!
[17:21] Demon
    G-Grunbeld...
[17:30] Gru
    They are our master's valued guests.
[17:33] Gru
    Harm them, and you
    will answer to me.
[17:36] Demon
    J-Just kidding!
[17:37] Demon
    I was just joking around...
[17:39] M
    Grunbeld... I know that name!
[17:42] M
    The mighty warrior who defended
    a small northern kingdom
[17:45] M
    from the massive Chuder invasion
[17:48] ---
    for a decade, with a mere
    force of three thousand.
[17:52] M
    The great fire dragon.
[17:54] M
    They say he fell in battle, but...
[17:57] Gru
    Lady Sonia, you are too reckless.
[17:59] Gru
    Though you are our seer,
[18:01] Gru
    you should not walk here
    without a guard.
[18:05] Gru
    Next time, please speak to me first.
[18:09] Sonia
    Okay.
[18:12] Mule
    The seer for the Hawks?
[18:15] Mule
    Who are these people?
[18:18] Sonia
    I don't really know a whole lot.
[18:22] Mule
    A mysterious army of inhuman beings.
[18:24] Mule
    Heroes whose names are known
    throughout the world.
[18:27] Mule
    Where am I?
[18:34] Sonia
    I've brought Lord Griffith's guest.
[18:45] Mule
    What is that?
[18:47] Sonia
    People who died in battle today.
[18:51] Sonia
    After the battle ends, they gather
    like this at sundown.
[18:58] Mule
    Souls? Of the dead?
[19:02] Sonia
    So beautiful...
[19:08] Mule
    And who are they?
[19:10] Sonia
    The family and loved ones of the dead.
[19:12] Sonia
    They're here to say farewell.
[19:15] Kid
    Hey, where's Dad?
[19:22] Kid
    Dad!
[19:23] Mom
    Dear!
[19:28] Ghost
    Take care.
[19:30] Mom
    My dear...
[19:47] Sonia
    It's over.
[19:49] Sonia
    Lord Griffith!
[19:52] Gr
    Good work earlier today, Sonia.
[19:56] Sonia
    It was nothing.
[19:57] Sonia
    I think I'm more powerful when
    I'm with you, Lord Griffith.
[20:05] Mule
    So this man is the white hawk...
[20:09] Mule
    That group of lights...
    Where is it going?
[20:15] Gr
    To where they can be one.
[20:18] Mule
    Where they can be one?
    Where is that?
[20:21] Mule
    Heaven? Or...
[20:23] Gr
    Eventually, you will know.
[20:25] Gr
    Everyone does when their time comes.
[20:28] Gr
    We have yet to meet
    formally, Lord Mule.
[20:31] Gr
    I am Griffith, leader of
    the Band of the Hawk.
[20:37] Mule
    F-Forgive my belated introduction!
[20:39] Mule
    I am Mule Wolflame.
[20:42] Mule
    Youngest son of Valagar
    Wolflame, lord of Lumias.
[20:46] Mule
    I have no words to express
    my deep gratitude
[20:49] Mule
    for the salvation of my people
    in the earlier battle!
[20:55] Gr
    I, as well, must offer my gratitude.
[20:58] Gr
    The food you have provided
    will allow my troops
[21:01] ---
    to fight for many more months.
[21:03] Mule
    Y-You are too kind.
[21:07] Mule
    What is this?
[21:08] Mule
    What is this powerful emotion
    I feel welling up from within?
[21:13] Mule
    It surges... forth.
[21:22] Mule
    Please accept my sword.
[21:27] Mule
    Please.
[21:29] Mule
    What am I doing?
[21:32] Mule
    I only just met this man and
    exchanged a few words.
[21:37] Mule
    And yet, I hear a voice from the
    deepest reaches of my being...
[21:42] Sonia
    Lord Griffith?
[21:45] Mule
    A powerful voice... I cannot ignore!
[21:50] Mule
    It says this is my destiny.
[23:27] P
    They're coming, Isidoro!
[23:28] I
    I know!

[03:05] I
    Take that...
[03:06] P
    Oh, tasty!
[03:07] Ser
    I tried adding marrow from the
    fox we caught yesterday.
[03:08] I
    Why?
[03:10] P
    Pico, you do good work!
[03:13] G
    Think of your size. Why hold

[03:19] Ser
    Would you like more salt?
[03:19] I
    What if I get brain damage before
    I get the chance to think?
[03:22] P
    We did have a workout earlier...
[03:23] P
    Dropey, it's almost dinnertime.
[03:26] P
    Get Farnese and Casca will you?
[03:28] I
    You guys are getting good at

[03:33] Ser
    Lady Farnese, these are...
[03:35] F
    Mushrooms.
[03:36] F
    I found them earlier.
[03:38] Ser
    They're poisonous.

[03:45] Ser
    You can stop. I'll take it from here.
[03:50] G
    What're you doing?
[03:51] G
    Never mind. Focus on protecting
    Casca and the fire!
[03:59] F
    I am so useless.
[04:03] F
    It's laughable, really.
[04:06] F
    I have been quite cruel to you.
[04:10] F
    I apologize.
[04:18] F
    I never realized my insignificance.
[04:26] F
    Casca, please wait a moment.
[04:31] F
    This will add to our provisions,
    at least a bit.
[04:34] F
    Huh?
[04:34] F
    Damn you.
[04:37] F
    I failed...
[04:42] F
    Let us return, Casca.
[04:47] F
    Casca?
[04:49] F
    Casca!
[04:53] F

    Casca!

    Someone!
[05:25] F
    Serpico...
[05:30] P
    Oh, there she is.
[05:32] P
    Over here!
[05:37] Ser
    Lady Farnese, you're unharmed.
[05:39] I
    Man, not a care in the world, huh?
[05:41] I
    And we were all scrambling
    to protect Casca...
[05:45] F
    Casca!
[05:47] F
    Is Casca all right?
[05:49] I
    She's more than all right.
[05:52] I
    Her stomach led her
    back before dinner.
[05:57] I
    Good, we can finally get some sleep.
[06:02] I
    Don't cause so much trouble, okay?

    Why is the babysitter getting lost?
[06:12] F
    Serpico?
[06:13] Ser
    Yes, my lady?
[06:15] F
    I have caused you trouble.

    What's wrong?
[06:20] Ser
    Nothing, my lady.
[06:23] Ser
    Are you returning to the Holy See?
[06:29] F
    Who...
[06:31] F
    Who would go back?
[06:37] Elder
    If you're heading to the Port
    of Vritannis, be careful.
[06:43] Elder
    It's become a garrison
    for the allied forces.
[06:48] Elder
    I hear the Kushans are about to
    start a major battle there.
[06:53] Elder
    Even if the allied forces
    repel the Kushans,
[06:56] Elder
    they'll carve up the kingdom
    amongst themselves.
[07:01] Elder
    Midland may even cease to exist...
[07:05] Elder
    Well, not that any of that
    matters to us shepherds.
[07:10] Elder
    Are you a Midlander?
[07:13] Elder
    Things must be difficult for you.
[07:15] G
    No, we were only living
    there for a while.
[07:21] Elder
    Oh, I just remembered!
[07:25] Elder
    Beware if you're taking that path,
[07:28] Elder
    especially around the pass.
[07:31] I
    What the hell, Gramps?
[07:32] I
    Are you saying bandits are about?
[07:34] Elder
    That wouldn't be so bad,
[07:37] Elder
    but what's out and about
    aren't human folk.
[07:39] Elder
    They're trolls!
[07:42] I
    Trolls?
[07:47] I
    Shit...
[07:48] I
    How can I land one hit on Guts?
[07:53] P
    Wouldn't you have better
    luck throwing stones?
[07:55] I
    Unless I use the sword, it's pointless.
[07:57] P
    Your skills with rocks aren't bad, though.
[08:02] I
    Well, sure.
[08:05] I
    Got meat.
[08:08] P
    A double throw, huh? Clever.
[08:28] I
    Ow!
[08:31] I
    Shit! That didn't work, either!
[08:34] G
    Not bad.
[08:35] G
    You were doing well that time.
[08:38] G
    But if you always attack from below,
    the opponent will anticipate you.
[08:41] G
    You need to figure out how
    to be less predictable.
[08:45] G
    About your last attack,
[08:46] G
    you should aim for gaps in the armor.
[08:49] G
    You're not strong enough to pierce it.
[08:52] I
    I see...
[08:56] I
    Hey, is this good enough?
[08:58] G
    What?
[08:59] I
    Isn't training usually
[09:01] ---
    practicing basics for a long time and
    inheriting techniques and stuff?
[09:05] G
    You're practicing basics every day.
[09:07] I
    But...
[09:08] G
    Do you plan to only go into battle
[09:11] G
    after training for dozens of years and
    becoming a master swordsman?
[09:14] G
    That's a pretty long game.
[09:16] I
    N-No, I don't!
[09:17] G
    Then you need to manage
    with what you have now.
[09:21] G
    Isn't that what you've been
    doing all this time?
[09:25] Ser
    You are kind to him.
[09:28] Ser
    If it isn't too much trouble, could you
    help me gather firewood?
[09:46] Ser
    Well, these are a little damp...
[09:50] G
    Let's just get down to it.
[09:52] Ser
    What do you mean?
[09:53] G
    Drop the act.
[09:55] G
    You wanted privacy, so we
    could finish the duel.
[09:58] Ser
    What are you talking about?
[10:00] Ser
    I wanted to get to know
    you better. That's all.
[10:03] Ser
    Have a heart-to-heart.
[10:05] G
    Huh?
[10:05] G
    You aren't making any sense!
[10:07] G
    If you don't want to fight, I'm off.
[10:11] Ser
    To be completely honest,
    I'd like you to die.
[10:16] G
    You finally have the same
    look as when we fought.
[10:19] Ser
    But this is what Lady Farnese wants.
[10:24] Ser
    The look on her face, like a child
    who's just sobbed her heart out.
[10:27] Ser
    I've never seen her so vulnerable.
[10:31] Ser
    You've changed her.
[10:34] Ser
    Well, as long as Lady Farnese chooses
    to continue her journey,
[10:37] Ser
    I intend, as her aide, to maintain
    good relations with you.
[10:42] G
    You worry too much.
[10:46] I
    What the hell?
[10:47] I
    What's going on?
[10:49] I
    Hey! Bandits?
[10:54] I
    All right!
[10:55] I
    Are you okay?
[10:57] P
    He isn't human!
[10:59] I
    What?
[11:04] I
    What the...
[11:05] Elder
    But what's out and about
    aren't human folk.
[11:08] I
    So this is what he meant!
[11:14] I
    I'll handle this.
[11:17] Iva
    Oh, my.
[11:18] Iva
    He's going to die.
[11:20] Iva
    What are you going to do?
[11:34] I
    I'm not scared of you...
[11:36] I
    You rotten monkey!
[11:37] I
    I'll get ya!
[11:49] P
    Isidoro!
[11:51] I
    I... I'm gonna die!
[11:58] I
    Berries?
[12:00] Schierke
    Don't move.
[12:02] Schierke
    Look all around you.
[12:06] I
    Wh-When'd they show up?
[12:09] Schierke
    The rest of you, come here.
[12:17] Schierke
    Listen to me.
[12:18] Schierke
    No matter what happens,
    do not leave or break this circle.
[12:22] I
    Wh-What's this?
[12:23] P
    It's magic!
[12:24] P
    This is a magical ritual!
[12:26] F
    Magic?
[12:27] F
    Then, is she...
[12:29] Iva
    That's right. She's a witch, see? A witch.
[12:33] P
    A fae like me...
[12:34] P
    It's been too long!
[12:35] Iva
    Hey, who do you think you are?
[12:36] Iva
    Yodo hegh vau hegh.
[12:38] Iva
    Adonai tsabaut.
[12:40] Iva
    Eghehyeh...
[12:41] Iva
    Argrah.
[12:44] I
    They're everywhere!
[12:48] I
    Wh-What the...
[13:03] I
    Wow.
[13:05] I
    What's going on?
[13:08] Schierke
    I say this with the best of intentions,
[13:10] Schierke
    but you should leave
    as soon as possible.
[13:13] I
    N-No need for you to worry.
[13:16] I
    We're used to monsters like them.
[13:18] Sch
    Excuse me, but with your sword skill,
[13:21] Sch
    you won't survive another encounter.
[13:23] I
    What?!
[13:23] I
    H-Hang on a second, hag!
[13:30] I
    Wh-What the...
[13:32] I
    These don't belong to no hag.
[13:34] I
    I mean, there's hardly anything!
[13:39] I
    You're just a kid?
[13:44] G
    Hey, what's wrong?
[13:45] Ser
    Lady Farnese!
[13:46] G
    What happened here?
[13:48] F
    Well...
[13:53] Sch
    What's with those two?
[13:56] Sch
    It's as if they attract distortions.
[14:01] I
    Damn it all...
[14:03] I
    That witch girl!
[14:06] G
    You did well.
[14:08] G
    You have my thanks.
[14:09] I
    Coming from you, it just
    makes me all itchy.
[14:13] P
    Well, ultimately, the little witch
    saved us, including the monkey.
[14:20] G
    I don't want anything like
    that to happen again.
[14:26] Ser
    She's grown quite fond
    of you, Lady Farnese.
[14:29] F
    Y-You think so?
[14:34] I
    Hey! Stop!
[14:36] I
    Stop it!
[14:37] I
    Stop!
[14:38] I
    Stop, I said!
[14:39] ---
    Stop! Hey, stop!
[14:45] I
    Huh? What?
[14:48] P
    Okay... There you go.
[14:51] Ser
    What happened?
[14:53] Morgan
    We were attacked by trolls.
[14:56] Morgan
    There were five others with me,
    but everyone else was...
[14:59] Morgan
    But I can't just return to our village.
[15:03] Morgan
    There's a place I need to go.
[15:07] Morgan
    I am Morgan, of Enoch Village.
[15:10] Morgan
    Travelers such as you
    may not know this,
[15:14] Morgan
    but tales of fae and witches have
    always been told in these parts.
[15:19] Morgan
    Even still, not many of us
    believed those tales.
[15:25] Morgan
    At least, not until that fateful night.
[15:28] I
    What fateful night?
[15:30] Morgan
    A band of trolls attacked the village.
[15:34] Morgan
    They came, like something
    out of the pages of a tale,
[15:38] Morgan
    appearing from the darkness.
[15:41] Morgan
    Ever since that day, our world
    was changed forever!
[15:46] Morgan
    It's as if our lives were a lie.
[15:50] Ser
    So do you bear a message to your lord?
[15:53] Morgan
    Our lord has gone to
    Vritannis for battle.
[15:56] Morgan
    The fortress is empty.
[15:59] Morgan
    Even if I took him the news,
[16:01] Morgan
    I doubt he'd send men because
    he'd think trolls don't exist!
[16:06] I
    What's your plan, then?
[16:08] Morgan
    We counter the legend
    with another legend.
[16:11] Morgan
    A witch... That's who we're
    thinking of asking for help.
[16:16] I
    A witch?
[16:18] Morgan
    They say a witch's house stands
    deep in this forest.
[16:23] Morgan
    It's said that only those
    invited by the mistress
[16:27] ---
    of the house are allowed to reach it.
[16:30] I
    Does that mean this forest
    is under a witch's spell?
[16:34] I
    Wouldn't that mean looking
    for her is pointless?
[16:38] Morgan
    From time to time,
[16:40] ---
    children in the village claim
    to have seen the house.
[16:46] Schierke
    Someone has breached the barrier.
[16:50] Schierke
    Elementals...
[16:54] P
    What is this?
[16:55] I
    W-Wow...
[17:13] Morgan
    I knew it wasn't a dream!
[17:16] Morgan
    No one believed me.
[17:19] Morgan
    And after so many years, even I
    thought I had dreamed it.
[17:27] I
    That witch girl must be here, too!
[17:30] G
    What is this strange sensation?
[17:34] G
    Isidoro!
[17:34] G
    Get away from there!
[17:36] I
    Huh?
[17:38] I
    What?
[17:39] I
    What's with the dumb-looking statue?
[17:43] I
    What a laugh! Er, uh...
[18:00] Morgan
    Wait... Let me speak to it.
[18:02] Ser
    Morgan!
[18:04] G
    That thing won't listen to you!
[18:06] G
    Stay back, Gramps.
[18:15] I
    Shit! It regrew its arm!
[18:17] G
    A ghoul?
[18:19] G
    Could it serve the apostles?
[18:28] Ser
    This is...
[18:32] I
    Creepy fucks!
[18:37] I
    Wh-What's up with them?!
[18:46] G
    There's no end to them.
[18:52] Iva
    Hey, look! Look at that man's sword!
[18:56] F
    No!
[19:04] Ser
    That's...
[19:07] Ser
    Everyone,
[19:08] Ser
    the golems have a small doll embedded
    near the symbols on their chests.
[19:11] Ser
    Once you remove the dolls,
    they cannot regenerate!
[19:15] Iva
    Oops, they figured it out.
[19:17] G
    I see.
[19:18] G
    Now that we know...
[19:21] I
    Isidoropkick!
[19:24] ---
    Yes!
[19:26] Iva
    What now, Schierke?
[19:27] Iva
    They'll destroy every single one!
[19:29] Schierke
    I have no choice.
[19:31] Flora
    Enough.
[19:36] F
    Wh-What happened?
[19:38] I
    They suddenly stopped moving.
[19:48] I
    I knew it was her!
[19:50] F
    The witch!
[19:52] Schierke
    Everyone, this way, please.
[19:54] Schierke
    My mistress will see you.
[19:56] I
    Oh, yeah? Great!
[19:59] I
    I'll fight her!
[20:01] Ser
    What will we do?
[20:02] G
    We did get an invitation.
[20:03] G
    Let's go meet this witch.
[20:07] I
    Wow, this is fun!
[20:11] I
    It's more like a nest than a house.
[20:14] I
    I feel like I've turned into a squirrel.
[20:15] Sch
    You, there.
[20:16] Sch
    Don't touch anything on the
    desk without permission.
[20:19] Iva
    What a kid!
[20:21] I
    Wait, so you aren't the
    witch people talk about?
[20:23] Sch
    I am Schierke, and I am
    still an apprentice.
[20:27] Iva
    I am Ivalera, her guardian.
[20:30] I
    Oh, so you're just a trainee.
[20:33] I
    I'm Isidoro.
[20:34] I
    You did quite a number on me!
[20:36] I
    Thanks to you, I was living in my
    ancestors' shoes for a half day.
[20:39] Sch
    That was because you grabbed
    me in a strange manner!
[20:42] I
    Strange?
[20:43] I
    Just tell me what you mean.
[20:45] I
    I'm only a monkey, so...
[20:46] Sch
    Like I said, a strange manner!
[20:48] Iva
    Her boobs.
[20:51] Sch
    L-Like I said...
[20:52] Iva
    Boobs!
[20:54] G
    Quit it. It's getting on my nerves.
[20:56] G
    Anyway, can you take
    us to her already?
[21:00] G
    The one you call your mistress?
[21:01] Sch
    This way, please.
[21:04] Sch
    I brought them, mistress.
[21:10] Flora
    Welcome to the mansion
    of the spirit tree.
[21:13] Flora
    Please forgive the discourtesy
    of my apprentice.
[21:16] Flora
    She was only concerned for my safety.
[21:19] I
    So she's the witch?
[21:21] I
    I totally thought she'd have
[21:23] ---
    a pointy noise and be all shriveled,
    like some monster...
[21:26] Sch
    H-How dare you?
[21:28] Flora
    Why, thank you.
[21:29] Flora
    I'll take that as a compliment.
[21:34] Morgan
    Fifty years ago,
    the medicine you gave me
[21:38] Morgan
    saved my mother from certain death.
[21:41] Morgan
    I can't believe my eyes...
    You look exactly the same.
[21:46] Flora
    I remember you.
[21:47] Flora
    You were the boy from back then.
[21:49] Flora
    It has been a while.
[21:53] Flora
    You've never taken the life
    of any of my brethren.
[21:57] Flora
    But if you had, it would have been
    a sin shared by all who serve God.
[22:03] Flora
    I would not seek retribution
    from you alone.
[22:07] F
    How did she know?
[22:09] Flora
    As for you two who bear the brand...
[22:12] G
    How did you know that?
[22:14] Flora
    I am glad I could meet you.
[22:16] Flora
    I have been waiting for you.

[01:30] G
    You know about us?
[01:33] Flora
    Yes, the branded ones,
    guided by wee wings.
[01:37] Flora
    I have been waiting for you.
[01:39] G
    She knows about the brand?
[01:41] G
    Could she be an Apostle?
[01:44] G
    No.
[01:45] G
    My brand twinges. But it's different.
[01:51] Sch
    The branded ones?
[01:53] G
    Granny, who are you?
[01:56] Flora
    Wait one moment.
[01:57] Flora
    His story comes first right now.
[02:01] Flora
    What you witnessed involves trolls?
[02:04] M
    Yes.
[02:05] Flora
    Trolls normally inhabit the spirit realm.
[02:08] Flora
    Even seeing them in our
    world should be rare,
[02:11] Flora
    much less a village being attacked.
[02:14] M
    Wait, then...
[02:17] Flora
    Unfortunately, I cannot help you.
[02:20] M
    Why?
[02:22] Flora
    I no longer possess the time or
    strength to leave this place.
[02:28] I
    You make it sound like you'll
    kick the bucket any second.
[02:33] I
    What? You're scaring me.
[02:35] Iva
    Don't be so rude!
[02:37] Flora
    Yes, I am about to die.
[02:40] Flora
    I am quietly waiting for
    my time to come.
[02:44] M
    Then what should we do?
[02:46] Flora
    Not to worry.
[02:48] Flora
    I cannot go, but I will send
    someone in my stead.
[02:53] Flora
    Schierke, aid them.
[02:56] I
    Oh, that's a big responsibility!
[02:58] Sch
    Mistress, but I'm not...
[03:00] Flora
    It's time for you to apply your
    training out in the world.
[03:04] Sch
    But right now?
[03:05] Flora
    Could you all aid my apprentice?
[03:10] G
    Hey, we don't owe you that much.
[03:13] G
    Sorry to say it, but we're in a rush.
[03:16] Flora
    Of course there will be recompense.
[03:19] Flora
    I shall make a ward that will protect
    you during your journey.
[03:24] I
    What's a ward?
[03:25] Ser
    A protection charm.
[03:27] I
    A protection charm?
[03:29] I
    Don't you just buy those
    for peace of mind—
[03:30] Sch
    Watch your tongue!
[03:31] Sch
    Wards made by mages are
    no mere superstition!
[03:34] Sch
    The ones my mistress makes
    are exceptional!
[03:37] Iva
    Ignorant masses wouldn't understand.
[03:39] P
    Well, sorry for being ignorant.
[03:40] Flora
    The brand has power beyond imagining.
[03:43] Flora
    It is not possible for me
    to nullify it completely,
[03:46] Flora
    but I can weaken it.
[03:50] Flora
    It will attract fewer evil spirits,
[03:52] Flora
    and it should no longer
    be able to possess you.
[03:56] G
    You can do that?
[03:58] Flora
    However, the ward's effect
    will not last forever.
[04:02] Flora
    Still, it should last for the
    duration of your journey.
[04:08] Guts
    It can prevent that from happening?
[04:11] I
    I see.
[04:12] I
    I didn't know the brand had
    that kinda thing going on.
[04:22] G
    I'll accept your offer.
[04:24] Flora
    We have a deal, then.
[04:26] M
    Thank you.
[04:28] G
    Hey.
[04:29] I
    This is getting pretty interesting.
[04:32] Iva
    She should just leave them!
[04:33] Sch
    Mistress...
[04:35] Flora
    You should address your
    new companions.
[04:40] Sch
    Thank you for allowing
    me to join you.
[04:43] Flora
    Well, Schierke, prepare supper.
[04:46] Flora
    Draw an herbal bath, too.
[04:48] Sch
    Yes, mistress.
[04:49] Flora
    You must all be exhausted
    from your long journey.
[04:51] Flora
    Please depart in the morning, so that
    you can have a good night's rest.
[04:56] Flora
    This mansion has also been warded.
[05:00] Flora
    I can guarantee you safety
    for at least one night.
[05:06] I
    With so many leaves and berries,
[05:08] I
    I don't feel like I'm eating
    anything, but it's good.
[05:11] Sch
    It's nutritious.
[05:13] G
    Granny, what did you
    mean when you said
[05:17] ---
    you were waiting for us?
[05:19] Flora
    I had a prophecy from a
    friend in the spirit realm.
[05:24] Flora
    He said that branded ones, guided by
    wee wings, would come to the forest,
[05:29] Flora
    and that I should aid them.
[05:32] Flora
    But I'm the one being aided by you.
[05:35] Flora
    It has turned out rather contrarily.
[05:37] G
    Aid us...
[05:38] G
    Who was it?
[05:40] I
    Hey, so what's this spirit realm about?
[05:43] Flora
    Put simply, it's the afterlife.
[05:46] Flora
    Due to the brands' power,
[05:48] Flora
    you've all become attuned
[05:52] ---
    to incorporeal entities,
    invisible to the naked eye.
[05:56] Sch
    There is a trinity of realms.
[05:58] ---
    The mortal realm coexists with,
    and overlaps, two others.
[06:03] Sch
    One is the spirit realm,
[06:04] ---
    an astral plane that belongs to spirits.
[06:07] Sch
    The other is realm of ideas.
    The soul of existence's origin.
[06:11] I
    So basically, they're ghosts?
[06:13] I
    They seem a little too real.
    They're all sticky and gross.
[06:18] Sch
    That's because your spiritual self
    is interacting with the spirits.
[06:22] Sch
    If your spiritual self senses them,
[06:24] Sch
    your physical self will react when
    you see and touch them
[06:27] ---
    as if they had material form.
[06:30] Ser
    Then, does that mean...
[06:32] Sch
    Elves and trolls are both denizens
    of the spirit realm.
[06:36] Sch
    In the past, the existence of
    elves was widely accepted.
[06:40] Sch
    But as the Holy See's monotheistic
    world view has spread,
[06:46] Sch
    fewer humans could see them.
[06:48] Sch
    Once humans became
    unable to sense elves,
[06:51] Sch
    most of them vanished
    into the spirit realm.
[06:54] P
    I see.
[06:56] P
    So that's why Farnese couldn't
    see me at first.
[06:59] P
    You should savor my presence.
[07:01] Ser
    Please don't bully her too much.
[07:04] G
    Your so-called homeland
    had better be safe.
[07:07] G
    And not in the afterlife.
[07:09] P
    No prob, no prob.
[07:10] P
    We have lots of live humans,
    so it's probably fine.
[07:12] Flora
    We mages have long practiced
    freeing our spiritual selves
[07:17] Flora
    from the physical realm, in order
    to explore the astral realm.
[07:22] I
    You can do that?
[07:24] Flora
    There is a plane of existence
    in the relatively shallow
[07:28] ---
    reaches of the spirit realm
    called the interstice.
[07:30] Flora
    There, many spirit beings
    of legend reside.
[07:32] Flora
    Souls of the dead who haven't
[07:35] Flora
    realized their death, or given up their
    ties to the living, wander there.
[07:39] Flora
    Deeper in the spirit realm,
[07:42] Flora
    the landscape is quite unlike
    the physical realm,
[07:44] Flora
    beyond your wildest imagination.
[07:47] Flora
    Massive astral beings exist there,
[07:51] ---
    beside which human spirits pale.
[07:55] Flora
    Those we call angels and demons,
    or in polytheistic societies, gods.
[08:01] Flora
    And in the greater depths,
[08:03] Flora
    worlds may exist that humans only reach
[08:06] ---
    through their own karma,
    such as heaven and hell.
[08:10] Flora
    Traveling too far may prevent return,
[08:13] Flora
    so no one has reached those depths alive.
[08:16] Flora
    Beyond, in the farthest reaches,
    it's possible that...
[08:21] Flora
    Not only is the world vast without,
[08:24] Flora
    it also contains great depths within.
[08:28] Flora
    The world cannot be defined by
    materialism or any single doctrine.
[08:33] Flora
    To accept that great mysteries exist,
[08:35] Flora
    and to explore all creation
    from within our world...
[08:38] ---
    That is the way of mages.
[08:43] F
    Come on, stay still.
[08:47] F
    The journey's damaged your hair.
[08:57] F
    I never thought I could relax
    like this during a journey...
[09:03] F
    Not to mention, at a witch's home.
[09:10] I
    Well, time to exercise my
    special rights as a kid.
[09:15] I
    Shit!
[09:16] ---
    Scrub-a-dub-dub...
[09:17] Sch
    Take that! And that!
[09:18] Sch
    Ow... Ow.
[09:19] ---
    And that!
[09:19] Flora
    You wish to show me something?
[09:21] ---
    And that.
[09:21] Flora
    What is it?
[09:27] Flora
    That's...
[09:29] Sch
    What is that?
[09:30] Flora
    Where did you get that?
[09:31] G
    I obtained it from a man.
[09:34] Flora
    I see.
[09:36] Flora
    All those who aim to master
    magic know of it.
[09:41] Flora
    It is a Behelit.
[09:42] ---
    It's a key, linking the mortal realm and
    the deepest part of the spirit realm.
[09:45] Flora
    A talisman used to summon five angels.
[09:51] G
    Good thing you're a witch.
    I have less to explain.
[09:54] G
    So tell me how to use this
    to get them to show up.
[09:59] Flora
    Is it for revenge?
[10:02] F
    Hey, wait!
[10:04] F
    Don't walk around like
    that. It's indecent.
[10:08] F
    Please excuse us!
[10:10] Flora
    To protect her, you are headed
    to Elfhelm. Isn't that right?
[10:16] Sch
    Elfhelm?
[10:17] G
    So you know everything.
[10:20] Flora
    There is a paradox.
[10:22] Flora
    Without hatred, you would not be alive.
[10:25] Flora
    Yet those vengeful flames threaten to
    engulf the thing you care for most.
[10:31] Flora
    That, in turn, has shackled you,
    dulling the edge of your sword.
[10:37] Flora
    Unfortunately, I cannot help you.
[10:41] G
    Then you won't teach me how?
[10:44] Flora
    No.
[10:45] Flora
    This is not what you think.
[10:47] ---
    It isn't something you can use
    by learning a technique.
[10:53] Flora
    A high-ranking astral being, capable of
[10:56] ---
    determining human fate, or an
    even more powerful entity,
[10:59] Flora
    sends a Behelit to the physical realm.
[11:02] Flora
    It finds its way into a chosen one's
    possession, at a chosen time.
[11:06] Flora
    That is how it works.
[11:08] Flora
    When it will be used is
    beyond human control.
[11:14] G
    It's up to God, then?
[11:16] G
    Not a fan.
[11:18] P
    Oh, wait a minute!
[11:19] P
    Don't take my Betty out without asking.
[11:22] G
    It's yours now, is it?
[11:23] P
    Yeah. I mean, I'm the
    one looking after it.
[11:26] G
    One more question.
[11:27] G
    The God Hand...
[11:29] G
    Who are they?
[11:31] Flora
    Even to we who traverse
    the spirit realm,
[11:35] Flora
    that is one of the great mysteries.
[11:38] Flora
    All I know is that they
    were all once human.
[11:42] Flora
    Reincarnated as executors of the will
[11:45] ---
    of an unknown entity, residing in
    the spirit realm's deepest reaches.
[11:51] Flora
    I doubt any human can reach
[11:55] ---
    those depths without losing
    their spiritual sense of self.
[12:00] G
    Talk about clutching at shadows.
[12:04] Flora
    I am sorry to be of so little help.
[12:07] G
    It's fine. I'm still counting
    on you for the ward.
[12:10] G
    I'm going to go bathe.
[12:14] G
    Well, good luck to you tomorrow.
[12:17] Sch
    That's... a brand of sacrifice, isn't it?
[12:20] Sch
    My mistress taught me about them.
[12:22] Sch
    Those who have been marked
[12:24] ---
    become an offering to dark beings,
    down to their last breath.
[12:29] Sch
    You intend to take on beings
[12:31] ---
    who can manipulate fate,
    such as angels and demons?
[12:37] G
    I guess.
[12:39] G
    I have to punch them
    in the face someday.
[12:44] Flora
    What is it, Schierke?
[12:46] Sch
    It's idiotic. He's so ignorant.
[12:50] Flora
    Emotion and feelings
    are critical in magic.
[12:54] Sch
    But we're speaking of transcendental
    beings in the physical realm!
[12:59] Sch
    I've seen him.
[13:02] Sch
    He possessed an enormous flow of od,
    which engulfed and entranced people.
[13:06] Sch
    A fortune that denied any
    physical blade's touch.
[13:09] Sch
    A hawk...
[13:10] Sch
    He may look human, but his
    spiritual form is far greater.
[13:16] Sch
    In the physical realm,
    none can equal him.
[13:19] Sch
    He is, indeed, absolute.
[13:22] Sch
    If he is the fifth angel incarnate,
    as prophesized in Revelations,
[13:26] Sch
    the Hawk of Darkness,
[13:28] Sch
    that is terrifying.
[13:30] Flora
    That hawk is the one who branded him.
[13:34] Sch
    Then even more reason...
[13:36] Flora
    Schierke,
[13:37] Flora
    we mages possess more knowledge
[13:40] ---
    than most humans regarding the
    forces that reside in this world.
[13:45] Flora
    But that knowledge may,
    at times, obscure the truth.
[13:50] Sch
    What do you mean?
[13:52] Flora
    Do not let yourself be beguiled
    by hidden miracles.
[13:56] Flora
    Open your eyes and see the
    truth before you, as well.
[13:59] Flora
    He is still alive.
[14:03] Flora
    He has resisted fate and lived.
[14:08] Flora
    Lived to meet Schierke,
[14:10] ---
    the witch of the forest of the
    spirit tree's favorite disciple.
[14:14] Sch
    Are you instructing me to help him?
[14:17] Flora
    That is your decision to make.
[14:20] Flora
    The gods may mete out fate to men,
[14:22] Flora
    but the choice to accept that
    fate still lies in their hands.
[14:25] Flora
    That is my belief.
[14:27] Flora
    Use your eyes and decide for yourself
[14:30] ---
    what this fateful encounter
    means for you.
[14:40] Sch
    There.
[14:44] G
    Ow!
[14:45] G
    What the hell?
[14:46] Sch
    I rubbed in purifying salt.
[14:48] Sch
    It's done.
[14:49] Sch
    While the ward isn't as
    strong as my mistress's,
[14:52] Sch
    it should keep the brand from attracting
    evil spirits for a day or two.
[14:56] G
    I'm counting on it.
[14:58] Sch
    Are the rest of you ready?
[15:01] I
    This kind of stings.
[15:02] Ser
    What is this ointment?
[15:02] Iva
    It isn't for eating.
[15:04] Sch
    This is called witch's ointment,
[15:06] Sch
    a kind of numbing medicine made
    by combining almond oil with
[15:09] ---
    celery, belladonna, aconite,
    and other ingredients.
[15:11] Sch
    By dulling the five senses,
[15:13] Sch
    it improves your ability to
    sense spiritual beings.
[15:16] Sch
    There.
[15:17] Ser
    What are they?
[15:18] Sch
    Magical weapons from my mistress,
    imbued with the blessings of spirits.
[15:23] Sch
    With these, you should be
    able to counter trolls.
[15:26] Sch
    First, Serpico, take this
    hooded cloak and sword.
[15:29] Ser
    What is special about this cloak?
[15:31] Ser
    It seems to move of its own accord...
[15:33] Sch
    Take a good look at it.
[15:36] Ser
    Oh?
[15:37] Ser
    I see something faint...
[15:38] Ser
    Perhaps the shadows of
    translucent-winged insects.
[15:41] Sch
    Yes, they're sylphs, air elementals.
[15:46] F
    Elementals...
[15:48] Sch
    In the physical realm, the material
    states we observe,
[15:51] ---
    such as solid, liquid, energy, and gas,
[15:55] Sch
    resonate in the spiritual realm
[15:58] ---
    with earth, water, fire,
    and air elementals.
[16:01] Sch
    These elementals are the air's
    spirits filling this world.
[16:04] Sch
    The very heart of the wind
    flowing in the skies.
[16:07] P
    Huh, so you're the wind.
[16:10] P
    Thanks for your work. I'm Puck.
[16:12] Iva
    What're you saying?
[16:13] Iva
    They're our ancestors.
[16:16] P
    Huh?
[16:17] Iva
    You're a pixie, right?
[16:18] Iva
    Don't you know pixies
    belong to air spirits?
[16:22] Iva
    There are all kinds, but...
[16:23] P
    I was an air spirit?!
[16:25] P
    That's a shocking revelation!
[16:27] P
    I wasn't a chestnut!
[16:29] Sch
    The sylph cloak is blessed
    by the elementals.
[16:32] Sch
    It allows you to use air to ward yourself
    against swords and arrows.
[16:38] Sch
    This sylph sword has also
    been blessed by the wind.
[16:41] Sch
    Its blade is a great eagle's feathers,
[16:42] Sch
    and its hilt is of mistletoe from
    the forest's highest branch.
[16:46] Sch
    With one strike, you can
    create a whirlwind
[16:48] Sch
    to rend the flesh of enemies
    without touching them.
[16:52] I
    It looks kind of lame.
[17:00] P
    Ta-dah.
[17:01] Ser
    This is useful.
[17:03] P
    We're invincible.
[17:04] I
    Nice, nice!
[17:05] I
    Where's mine? Where's mine?
[17:06] Sch
    This is for you.
[17:08] I
    Huh, a dagger?
[17:10] I
    Why can't I get a sword or spear?
[17:12] I
    Oh, but it's glowing kind of red.
[17:16] I
    What're these small, wriggly things?
[17:18] I
    Lizards?
[17:19] Sch
    They're salamanders, fire elementals.
[17:23] Sch
    Molten lava was transformed
    into this blade by magic.
[17:28] Sch
    Any wound caused by this dagger
    will burn as if caused by a brand.
[17:33] I
    Huh...
[17:34] I
    There!
[17:37] Sch
    Salamanders are a rowdy bunch!
[17:39] Sch
    Please stop swinging it around.
[17:40] I
    This is great.
[17:42] I
    And what's this?
[17:43] Sch
    Consecrated berries.
[17:45] Sch
    Throwing them at trolls
    will make them flee.
[17:47] P
    That's a good fit for you.
[17:49] Sch
    They're only for self-defense.
[17:51] Sch
    I would prefer not to bring a reckless,
    thoughtless person such as you,
[17:55] Sch
    but I cannot disobey my mistress.
[17:58] I
    What was that?
[17:59] Sch
    Please try not to get in
    the way like before.
[18:01] I
    Y-You've got to be kidding me...
[18:03] P
    Now, now.
[18:04] Iva
    The same goes for you.
[18:06] Sch
    Farnese, please give Casca
    the silver shirt.
[18:10] Sch
    When you use these items,
[18:12] ---
    please envision their astral forms,
[18:14] ---
    as you see them now,
    as clearly as possible.
[18:16] Sch
    They are only as strong as your
    belief in their astral power.
[18:21] Sch
    And once you've used them,
[18:23] ---
    please don't forget to
    thank the elementals!
[18:26] Sch
    They will aid you even more if there
    is greater trust between you.
[18:30] Ser
    Thank you, all.
[18:34] Sch
    Lastly, this is for you, Guts.
[18:36] G
    I don't need it.
[18:37] Iva
    Aw, why not? Just take it.
[18:38] Iva
    How dare you reject our help?
[18:41] G
    In battle, I prefer to stick
    with what's familiar.
[18:45] G
    The sun's already up.
[18:47] G
    Let's get going.
[18:49] P
    Hey, where's mine?
    Where's my super slasher?
[18:52] Iva
    Cut it out.
[18:57] Sch
    What is that?
[19:01] Ser
    I've never seen a tree so large.
[19:04] I
    Huh?
[19:05] I
    All the scrapes and bruises
    I had yesterday are gone.
[19:08] Ser
    Come to think of it...
[19:10] Sch
    Your physical bodies readjusted
    to your ideal spiritual forms.
[19:13] Sch
    Staying here heals most
    minor and new wounds.
[19:17] Ser
    How useful.
[19:19] Sch
    This is in the spirit realm.
[19:23] Sch
    The interstice straddles the
    physical and spirit realms.
[19:27] Sch
    The power of the brand situates
    you in the interstice in the
[19:31] ---
    physical realm, where you can
    sense the spiritual realm.
[19:35] Sch
    You could say it's like being
    at the water's edge.
[19:39] Sch
    Still, unless the mistress of the
    house extends an invitation,
[19:43] Sch
    normal people can never come here.
[19:47] Sch
    Since you were on the house's
    plane, you easily reached it.
[19:51] I
    Then this place is...
[19:52] Ser
    In the afterlife, I suppose.
[19:54] Ser
    We apparently had a near-death
    experience without realizing it.
[19:58] Sch
    In the physical realm, this tree fell
    nearly two hundred years ago.
[20:02] Sch
    When it was alive,
    arboreal animists worshiped it.
[20:06] Sch
    The more elevated the life
    in the physical realm,
[20:10] Sch
    the more permanence in the
    spiritual realm after death.
[20:14] Sch
    Many mages choose to
    live in the interstice.
[20:19] Sch
    The restrictions that hold sway in the
    physical realm are weaker here,
[20:22] Sch
    so it becomes easier to manipulate
    reality with the power of thought.
[20:27] Sch
    Master mages can even
    fly through the skies.
[20:30] I
    Seriously? Sounds like a stretch.
[20:33] Sch
    Mistress, may we not leave Casca
    here safely, at least?
[20:39] G
    I appreciate the gesture,
[20:40] G
    but leaving her behind
    has never ended well.
[20:44] Sch
    But...
[20:46] G
    I know this place is safe,
[20:48] G
    but nothing is ever certain.
[20:50] G
    So I prefer to keep her where
    my sword can protect her.
[20:55] Flora
    Yes, that is the path you've chosen.
[20:59] Flora
    That may protect you from
    the vengeful flames.
[21:03] Flora
    Have you also made peace
    with this path, miss?
[21:06] F
    I am going.
[21:08] F
    I may be more of a burden, though.
[21:13] G
    I'm trusting you with Casca.
[21:15] F
    R-Right!
[21:17] Sch
    What a burden.
[21:20] Sch
    If I went alone, it would be easier.
[21:22] I
    Okay, let's get going!
[21:25] Sch
    Especially that one.
[21:27] Sch
    Well, I shall be off.
[21:29] Flora
    May the spirits' blessings be with you.
[21:33] Iva
    I'll take care of her.
[21:49] Flora
    Oh, so you were here.
[21:50] Flora
    You could have spoken to them.
[21:56] Flora
    Is this to your liking?
[21:59] Flora
    Even so, I must wonder
    at this turn of events.
[22:02] Flora
    To think that you would
    ask a favor of me.
[22:05] Flora
    And for someone else, at that.
[22:08] Flora
    Old friend,
[22:10] Flora
    I would like to believe that you
    still have a human heart...
[22:15] Skele
    It may not matter if I do it personally.
[22:17] Skele
    He may only be a factor,
    guided by the law of causality.
[22:23] Flora
    Indeed.
[22:26] Flora
    God has allotted him a certain fate.
    The fate of encounters.
[22:37] Man
    It's no use, Hannah! He's done for!
[22:40] Hanna
    Ted...
[22:52] Horace
    Damn it!
[23:03] Morgan
    Everyone!
[23:05] Villagers
    Morgan, you're alive!
[23:08] Morgan
    I managed, somehow.
[23:09] Villagers
    Wh-Where are the rest?
[23:11] Morgan
    Well, trolls attacked us in the forest...
[23:14] Villagers
    I see.
[23:16] Morgan
    Who are in the coffins?
[23:18] Villagers
    Ted and Horace.
[23:20] Villagers
    They took Hannah.
[23:22] Villagers
    They attacked Ted, who was
    guarding the cattle shed,
[23:25] Villagers
    and took Hannah when
    she tried to save him.
[23:27] Villagers
    A mob showed up
[23:29] ---
    when Horace defended his sister by
    stabbing one with a pitchfork.
[23:33] Villagers
    They tortured him to death!
[23:36] Villagers
    He was just married four days ago.
[23:39] Elder
    So, Morgan, how did things go for you?
[23:42] Morgan
    Elder, they are our help.
[23:46] I
    Heya!
[23:48] Elder
    So they are the ones...

[00:00] Villagers
    From the forest of the spirit tree.
[00:02] Villagers
    Even kids.
[00:03] Villagers
    Who is that giant man?
[00:04] Ser
    We have become an exhibition.
[00:07] I
    They're just jealous.
[00:10] Villagers
    Look!
[00:11] Villagers
    Elves!
[00:12] Villagers
    They have otherworldly beings
    like elves with them.
[00:15] Villagers
    Then, are they real witches?
[00:15] P
    How rude!
[00:17] Iva
    No kidding.
[00:18] Iva
    They lumped me in with you!
[00:20] Villagers
    So one of those two must be...
[00:23] Morgan
    No... Hey, folks.
[00:24] Morgan
    The lady witch is this one here.
[00:26] I
    Why are you hiding?
[00:28] Sch
    Hello.
[00:29] Villagers
    What the hell?
[00:29] Villagers
    No way. She's just a girl.
[00:31] Elder
    Morgan, is this some joke?
[00:34] Morgan
    Uh, no. It's no joke.
[00:36] I
    Uh-oh...
[00:37] I
    Well, not like I blame them.
[00:39] I
    Why not show them a spell or two?
[00:41] I
    Maybe that'll convince them.
[00:43] Sch
    That's impossible!
[00:45] Sch
    You don't use magic to show off.
[00:47] ---
    That's unthinkable.
[00:49] Priest
    That is why I objected to this, elder.
[00:51] Elder
    Reverend!
[00:53] I
    A pastor.
[00:53] Ser
    This is becoming too complicated...
[00:56] Priest
    Clinging to strange superstitions,
[00:59] Priest
    such as witches, will not solve anything.
[01:03] Priest
    Still, Morgan...
[01:05] Priest
    How could you make a
    child dress as a witch?
[01:08] Priest
    I'm sure you feel guilt over
    being the sole survivor,
[01:11] Priest
    but this goes too far.
[01:13] Morgan
    No...
[01:15] Priest
    Your garments suggest you
    are a traveling troupe.
[01:18] Priest
    Did Morgan beg for help
    when you were traveling?
[01:21] Priest
    I don't know if this is
    a diversion to you,
[01:24] Priest
    but you cannot handle
    those demonic beasts.
[01:28] Priest
    Leave now.
[01:30] Elder
    But if you take a good look, reverend,
[01:33] Elder
    the giant man appears quite formidable.
[01:35] Elder
    Why do we have to chase them off?
[01:36] Priest
    I insist!
[01:37] Priest
    This ordeal is a test of
    our faith, sent by God.
[01:40] Priest
    We must pray and endure.
[01:43] Iva
    Let's just go back already.
    They can figure it out.
[01:45] I
    Hey, so we came here, only to
    be turned away at the door?
[01:48] I
    It's starting to feel stupid.
[01:49] Priest
    Girl, while you may think it a costume,
[01:52] Priest
    you must not dress that way.
[01:54] Priest
    If this were the Holy See,
    you'd be burned at the stake.
[01:58] Priest
    Witches symbolize nothing
    but sin and evil.
[02:01] G
    We're exhausted from traveling a
    long way with kids and the ill.
[02:05] G
    Can we lodge here tonight?
[02:07] Priest
    No!
[02:08] Priest
    We have far more important things to—
[02:09] G
    This girl is on a pilgrimage to pray
    for recovery from illness.
[02:12] G
    As a man of the cloth, aren't you
    obligated to provide for pilgrims?
[02:17] Priest
    I take no responsibility for what happens.
[02:18] G
    We're in your debt.
[02:20] Villagaers
    Look at that sword...
[02:22] Villagaers
    Is it real?
[02:23] Villagaers
    Look at his left arm.
[02:24] Priest
    Elder, find lodgings for them.
[02:27] Ser
    That was clever.
[02:29] I
    Well, I'm hungry.
[02:31] Flora
    Use your eyes and decide for yourself
[02:34] Flora
    what this fateful encounter
    means for you.
SIGN    Fight for Survival Against the Demonic Legion
[04:10] Sch
    Everyone, please tie this on a finger.
[04:13] I
    Hair? Is it yours?
[04:15] Ser
    Why?
[04:16] Sch
    So I can mindspeak with everyone.
[04:18] Iva
    She means telepathy.
[04:20] I
    Mindspeak? Sounds like a hoax.
[04:22] Sch
    Stupid monkey.
[04:23] I
    Who you calling "monkey," bitch?!
[04:25] Sch
    This is an application
    of contagious magic,
[04:29] Sch
    which employs a part
    of the caster's body.
[04:32] Ser
    A little like using bits of nail or
    hair cuttings for a curse?
[04:35] Sch
    To some degree,
[04:36] Sch
    anyone can use the mind for direct
    communication with another.
[04:39] Sch
    But it requires connecting one's od...
[04:42] ---
    one's spiritual magnetic
    force with the other's.
[04:44] I
    I'm only connected to you?
    And the rest?
[04:48] Sch
    Connecting two who haven't trained
    at all would be impossible.
[04:52] Sch
    So...
[04:53] Sch
    When we deal with the trolls,
[04:55] Sch
    I need you all to follow my instructions.
[04:58] Iva
    Obviously.
[04:59] I
    What the hell?! No way!
[05:01] I
    Who's gonna listen to
    a little girl like you?
[05:04] Sch
    It is the most logical approach.
[05:06] Sch
    As the sole mage, only I can
    monitor the operation
[05:10] ---
    and communicate with you.
[05:12] Ser
    That is true.
[05:14] Ser
    When it comes to trolls,
    you're the specialist.
[05:17] G
    Well, why not?
[05:19] G
    This is her mission, anyway.
[05:21] P
    Salute the commander, private!
[05:24] I
    Damn it to hell!
[05:24] P
    If you flee before the enemy, you'll be
    shot for desertion, Private Monkey!
[05:27] I
    Who're you calling "monkey"?
[05:28] Ser
    Honestly...
[05:29] F
    What is wrong with him?
[05:31] Ser
    He wanted to be in charge.
[05:38] I
    Damn it!
[05:40] Morgan
    Boy, are you practicing the sword?
[05:42] Morgan
    Being alone is dangerous.
[05:44] I
    And what're you up to?
[05:47] Morgan
    I'd thought to catch you all some
    fish for supper, but no luck.
[05:52] Morgan
    Well, I hope potato soup will do.
[05:56] I
    I've gotta say, this village
    is kinda crummy.
[05:58] I
    This deep in the valley,
[06:00] I
    you get a half-day's worth
    of sun, at best.
[06:03] Morgan
    Back in my grandfather's time,
[06:05] Morgan
    the village did pretty well as a resting
    point along a major route.
[06:10] Morgan
    But that time is past.
[06:13] Morgan
    Still, we shouldn't just
    go quietly, you know?
[06:17] Morgan
    I have faith in you all.
[06:20] Morgan
    Boy, why are you traveling with them?
[06:24] Morgan
    Is it because you serve
    the black swordsman?
[06:26] I
    No!
[06:28] I
    I'm traveling to hone my battle skills!
[06:30] I
    Guts and I have a contract that
    he'll teach me swordsmanship.
[06:34] Morgan
    Oh?
[06:36] Morgan
    That swordsman is very strong,
    swinging that giant sword.
[06:41] I
    Right?
[06:42] I
    He isn't just strong. He's a monster!
[06:45] Morgan
    You look up to him, huh?
[06:47] I
    Look up to him? No, thanks!
[06:49] I
    I'm using him, see?
[06:51] I
    Well, I'm okay with saying
    he's my goal... for now.
[06:55] Morgan
    I see.
[06:57] Morgan
    Do you have any family?
[07:00] I
    Heh, who cares about that?
[07:02] I
    It's none of your business.
[07:05] I
    And what about you?
[07:07] I
    I bet your family isn't too keen
    on your going to find a witch.
[07:11] I
    Besides, what's up with the villagers?
[07:14] I
    After you risked your neck fetching
    a witch, even a half-baked one,
[07:19] I
    they treat you like some liar!
[07:21] I
    What a heartless bunch.
[07:23] I
    Why don't you just leave?
[07:24] I
    What's the point of sticking
    around this hole in the ground?
[07:28] Morgan
    My family's bones rest here.
[07:32] I
    Trolls get them?
[07:34] Morgan
    No, it was before all that.
    There was famine.
[07:37] Morgan
    I'm grateful that the villagers trusted
    the fate of this place to me.
[07:43] ---
    I don't hate them.
[07:45] Morgan
    Actually, I'm rather grateful.
[07:48] Morgan
    I was able to see her one last
    time before my death.
[07:53] ---
    I think all men are the same.
[07:55] ---
    As a boy, you love to
    imagine adventures.
[07:59] Morgan
    I'd neglect my chores to go to
    the mountains and forests,
[08:04] ---
    trying to find witches and catch elves.
[08:07] Morgan
    Like you said, I dreamed of leaving this
    small village behind someday,
[08:12] Morgan
    and going to make my fortune on
    the wide sea beyond Vritannis.
[08:16] Morgan
    That is...
[08:20] Morgan
    until my mother fell ill.
[08:23] Morgan
    I don't really remember much
    about those times,
[08:27] Morgan
    but I found myself wandering
    the depths of the forest.
[08:31] Morgan
    To find a cure for my mother,
    I must've sought out the witch.
[08:36] Morgan
    I reached her mansion in
    a dream-like trance.
[08:42] Morgan
    The medicine I brought back
    saved my mother's life.
[08:47] Morgan
    But she had aged immensely.
[08:51] Morgan
    That's when I began to
    help with chores
[08:53] ---
    and stopped going to the forest.
[08:57] Morgan
    And now, I'm old.
[09:00] Morgan
    With the passage of time,
    my memories have grown fuzzy.
[09:05] Morgan
    Did everything really happen?
[09:08] Morgan
    But back there, deep in the forest,
    she was still waiting for me.
[09:14] Morgan
    Still looking exactly the same.
[09:17] Morgan
    That is enough for me.
[09:20] I
    Just stop!
[09:21] I
    I don't need stories of has-beens
    when I'm just starting my life!
[09:25] P
    Kids these days.
[09:27] I
    You clung to a fairy tale dream,
    and one day, you woke up old!
[09:31] I
    I'm pursuing my dream!
    I'm not like you!
[09:34] I
    Listening's gonna kill my ambition.
[09:37] I
    Later!
[09:39] Morgan
    Oh, you were listening?
[09:42] Morgan
    That boy seems to hold
    you in high regard.
[09:48] Sch
    When the trolls attack, the villagers
    will seek shelter at this church.
[09:54] Sch
    We have no choice but to set
    a defense around this place.
[09:57] Sch
    I have to keep it together.
[10:00] Sch
    But there is something
    else about this place...
[10:06] Sch
    What?
[10:08] Kids
    Get out, witch.
[10:10] Kids
    The reverend says witches
    and trolls are the same!
[10:20] G
    Scoping out the battlefield?
[10:22] Sch
    Sounds about right.
[10:24] G
    Didn't you have things you
    wanted to tell that pastor?
[10:28] Iva
    I hate him, that fox-eyes.
[10:31] Sch
    It isn't just the pastor.
[10:33] Sch
    I think everyone in the
    physical realm is wrong.
[10:37] Sch
    The hill on which the church stands...
[10:39] ---
    Once, a temple to the spirits
    of this land was here.
[10:43] Sch
    To stamp spirits out of existence,
[10:46] ---
    the Holy See built many churches
[10:48] Sch
    on places sacred to those
    who revered spirits.
[10:51] Sch
    Their doctrine has become
[10:53] Sch
    naught but a tool to demonstrate
    their authority.
[10:57] Sch
    People fight in God's name and
    pray for salvation in God's name,
[11:03] Sch
    but the key to their salvation may lie
[11:06] Sch
    in the very entities they choose to forget.
[11:11] G
    That includes you witches, huh?
[11:16] Sch
    My mistress used to live
    around these parts.
[11:21] Sch
    I heard she visited the poor villages,
    delivering messages from spirits,
[11:26] Sch
    notifying people of weather changes,
    and healing the sick.
[11:31] Sch
    Her magic saved countless lives.
[11:36] Sch
    But once the Holy See's influence
    spread to this region
[11:39] Sch
    and they began building churches here,
[11:42] Sch
    the people turned on her and
    chased her into the forest.
[11:50] Sch
    Ever since then,
[11:51] Sch
    she's lived in the forest, as though
    in hiding, away from human eyes.
[11:56] Sch
    But now, they seek her help,
    as if nothing had happened.
[12:00] Sch
    I can't forgive what they've done.
[12:02] Sch
    If it weren't because of my mistress,
    who'd bother helping this village?
[12:06] G
    Then don't.
[12:09] G
    If you don't feel up to it,
[12:11] G
    there's no need to risk your life
    for that ungrateful bunch.
[12:16] G
    Besides, that lady won't live long,
    so all the more reason not to.
[12:21] G
    Doing something you don't want to,
    just because you're told to, is weak.
[12:26] Sch
    How rude and irresponsible!
[12:30] Sch
    I brought you here against my will...
[12:33] Sch
    He can't be part of my destiny! Never!
[12:38] F
    Come on, hold still.
[12:40] Ser
    Lady Farnese, since she can't talk,
[12:43] Ser
    is there any point in tying hair to her?
[12:45] F
    But Schierke said we should, regardless.
[12:48] F
    Apparently, images can
    be communicated.
[12:51] F
    But I don't really understand.
[12:53] F
    Stay still.
[12:55] Ser
    To be honest, I think
    this troll mission...
[12:57] Ser
    rather, this entire journey
[13:00] Ser
    should have been stopped
    in the first place, but...
[13:04] F
    Oh, come now.
[13:06] F
    Casca!
[13:09] F
    All right, now it's fine
[13:14] Ser
    It's changed her...
[13:16] Ser
    Something I wasn't able to do.
[13:19] Ser
    I suppose this smile makes
    it worth the trouble.
[13:21] F
    We match.
[13:25] Ser
    Spirits of the air.
[13:28] Ser
    Bound by nothing, they go
    where they wish.
[13:33] Ser
    How ironic.
[13:35] Ser
    I am so unlike them.
[13:44] Iva
    What's wrong?
[13:45] G
    Here they come.
[13:49] Sch
    The trolls are here. To the church!
[13:51] I
    What was that? Could it be...
[13:53] P
    It's telepathy.
[13:55] F
    Serpico!
[13:56] Ser
    Lady Farnese!
[14:05] Villagers
    Hey!
[14:09] Villagers
    Trolls! But why so many?!
[14:12] Villagers
    They mean to overwhelm
    and devour us.
[14:14] Villagers
    We need to run! We aren't safe here!
[14:16] Villagers
    First, blow the horn!
[14:17] Villagers
    Right.
[14:23] I
    Hey!
[14:24] I
    I just got that mindspeak thing.
[14:26] I
    It sure is useful.
[14:28] Ser
    We should head for the church.
[14:30] Mom
    No!
[14:33] Ser
    Huh?
[14:34] F
    Serpico, remember what
    Schierke said!
[14:37] P
    Elementals!
[14:37] I
    Pull yourself together!
[14:38] Ser
    Right.
[14:39] Ser
    Uh, so visualize...
[14:45] Ser
    I'm counting on you, spirits!
[14:56] Ser
    Hurry!
[14:57] Mom
    Thank you!
[15:05] I
    Got it!
[15:06] Ser
    They're actually very helpful.
[15:08] Villagers
    Magic...
[15:09] Villagers
    It's real magic!
[15:11] I
    Damn it!
[15:12] I
    Why do you always get to show off?
[15:15] I
    This one's mine!
[15:16] I
    Go, fire!
[15:19] I
    One's enough!
[15:21] I
    Get away!
[15:23] I
    Oh, it works.
[15:24] Ser
    Run, or you'll be eaten!
[15:31] I
    This is pointless!
[15:32] Ser
    Agreed!
[15:36] I
    Shit!
[15:36] I
    They're eating their own injured!
[15:39] Ser
    If you don't want to end
    up like that troll, run!
[15:43] F
    Casca!
[15:50] Ser
    Are you all right?
[15:51] F
    Y-Yes...
[15:54] Ser
    I never would have thought
[15:55] ---
    that Lady Farnese would shield
    anyone with her body.
[15:59] Ser
    It looks like the silver's warding off evil.
[16:03] Ser
    I'll clear a path.
[16:05] Ser
    Run to the church.
[16:06] Pastor
    Everyone, hurry inside.
[16:08] Villagers
    Look!
[16:09] Villagers
    Someone's surrounded!
[16:10] Mom
    They're the witch's companions.
[16:12] Mom
    They stopped so I could escape!
[16:14] Villagers
    There's no hope for them now.
[16:17] Pastor
    Fools.
[16:18] Pastor
    I warned them.
[16:20] Pastor
    Fool!
[16:21] Pastor
    They can't be dealt with
    by human means!
[16:55] Ser
    Now's our chance!
[16:56] Ser
    Run to the church!
[16:58] Elder
    Reverend, did you see that?
[17:01] Villagers
    Amazing.
[17:02] Villagers
    He did it!
[17:03] Villagers
    That man might take back
    the village from the trolls.
[17:05] Iva
    Wow, he's amazing!
[17:07] Iva
    You can't tell who the monster is here.
[17:09] Sch
    Indeed, he seems hardly human.
[17:11] Sch
    Is this also because
[17:13] Sch
    he long resided in the interstice,
    where mind easily influences matter?
[17:18] Sch
    Or something else?
[17:19] Sch
    What are the shadows I
    see around his blade?
[17:23] Sch
    Ready, Ivalera?
[17:24] Iva
    I was born ready.
[17:26] Iva
    I put the charm on a wall facing
    the direction you said.
[17:29] Iva
    Look at her, all nervous.
[17:31] Sch
    Er, hello!
[17:33] Sch
    I'll use magic to erect a shield
    around the church.
[17:36] Sch
    Everyone should go inside.
[17:39] Pastor
    Accursed witch!
[17:40] Pastor
    Elder, please drag her down right now.
[17:43] Elder
    Oh, but...
[17:45] Villagers
    Magic? No way...
[17:46] Villagers
    I saw her companions rip trolls
    apart without touching them!
[17:50] Villagers
    Isn't she with the swordsman? If so...
[17:53] I
    There!
[17:56] P
    Yep, baby steps...
[18:02] Pastor
    Stop it!
[18:03] Iva
    Hey, wait a minute!
[18:03] Pastor
    No, I forbid it!
[18:04] Iva
    We're busy. Don't interfere.
[18:05] Pastor
    How dare you perform such
    evil acts before God?
[18:07] Pastor
    Step down at once.
[18:09] Iva
    Who do you think Schierke
    is trying to help, anyway?
[18:12] Pastor
    I said to stop!
[18:15] F
    You're the one who needs to stop!
[18:17] F
    She is trying to protect the village!
[18:19] F
    You cannot see that?
[18:21] Pastor
    Silence!
[18:22] Pastor
    Even if we were to survive,
[18:24] Pastor
    if we did so by an evil force,
    it would have no meaning!
[18:28] Pastor
    God ordained our deaths!
[18:30] F
    This man... is the same.
[18:33] F
    The same as I was before,
[18:36] ---
    damning people to their
    deaths in God's name.
[18:41] F
    I have no right to speak.
[18:50] Pastor
    So words will not reach you?
[18:52] Iva
    Stop him!
[18:54] Iva
    When Schierke's chanting, she has
    no sense of what's going on!
[18:57] F
    Let go of her!
[18:59] Pastor
    Do not interfere!
[19:14] I
    What's going on?
[19:15] Ser
    They got behind us.
[19:18] Ser
    Lady Farnese?
[19:19] G
    Casca!
[19:22] G
    You all go!
[19:24] G
    I can hold here alone.
[19:25] G
    You protect the women and those inside!
[19:28] Ser
    Understood! You handle the rest!
[19:29] I
    Damn, leave some for me!
[19:37] I
    Idiots, out of the way!
[19:53] Villagers
    Hey, did you see that?
[19:55] Villagers
    He leaped... No, flew over us.
[19:57] P
    Well done, my wind army.
[19:59] I
    Why don't you guys try pitching in?
[20:01] Ser
    Isidoro, can you handle
    things here for a while?
[20:02] P
    See you!
[20:05] Pastor
    Accept it!
[20:06] Pastor
    You must not fear!
[20:09] F
    Casca!
[20:19] Pastor
    Fools...
[20:20] Iva
    Schierke!
[20:22] Pastor
    Oh, God... Take me to thy bosom.
[20:32] I
    That was the last strike.
[20:34] I
    They just keep coming...
[20:37] I
    What's Schierke doing?
[20:39] I
    Guess I'm outta options.
[20:41] P
    But with your skills, I gotta say...
[20:43] I
    Idiot! This is where it counts!
[20:49] I
    Shit. The sword's thrown
    me off-balance.
[20:52] I
    You've gotta be kidding.
[20:53] I
    Will I die here?
[20:59] I
    Gramps!
[21:00] Villagers
    Morgan!
[21:03] Villagers
    Hey, you guys!
[21:04] Villagers
    Don't leave it to the kids and elderly!
[21:07] Villagers
    That's right!
[21:08] Villagers
    Damn it!
[21:11] I
    Gramps, hey!
[21:13] Sch
    From the void I call thee, four kings
    of land, sea, sky and fire.

[00:05] villagers
    The trolls are crumbling...
[00:08] villagers
    What is this light?
[00:11] Puck
    His wound's healing!
[00:13] Isidoro
    This is...
[00:15] ---
    her magic?
[00:20] Schierke
    Somehow, I made it in time.
[00:21] Pastor
    What's going on? You did this?
[00:25] Schierke
    I told you...
[00:26] ---
    To protect the church, I erected
    a shield with magic.
[00:29] Schierke
    This shield will stand as long as it
    exists within my consciousness,
[00:33] ---
    and will destroy any spirit that tries
    to do us harm within the circle.
[00:37] Pastor
    Magic?
[00:39] Pastor
    Impossible.
[00:40] Pastor
    I will not accept this black magic.
[00:46] Schierke
    The four colored lights
    are the manifestation
[00:49] ---
    of the power of the great beings
[00:51] ---
    in the spiritual realm that
    are protecting us.
[00:55] Schierke
    Those great beings are the four
    guardian angels recorded
[01:00] ---
    in your Holy See's scripture.
[01:02] Schierke
    No matter how it's expressed,
[01:05] ---
    the sun is the sun, and light is light.
[01:08] Schierke
    No matter how different our scriptures,
[01:10] ---
    our cries for aid are the
    same, aren't they?
[01:14] Schierke
    Separating and condemning people
    over such a difference is foolish.
[01:20] Schierke
    The name of God is God's alone.
[01:22] Schierke
    It is not for humans to decide.
[01:24] Farnese
    But how?
[01:26] ---
    Our scriptures have nothing so powerful.
[01:29] Farnese
    They cannot call forth miracles,
    like your spells.
[01:32] Schierke
    The church is a shrine where people
    commune with angels and spirits.
[01:37] Schierke
    Mages have a shrine within their hearts.
[01:41] Farnese
    Within their hearts?
[01:43] Pastor
    That isn't possible.
[01:46] Schierke
    It isn't a belief in something
    that you cannot see.
[01:50] Schierke
    If you have no doubt,
[01:52] ---
    you can see it, feel it, and touch it.
[01:55] Guts
    Well, aren't you an impressive girl...
SIGN    The Arcana of Invocation
[03:40] Villagers
    What's that?
[03:41] Isidoro
    A monster?
[03:43] Pastor
    What is that monster?
[03:45] Schierke
    An ogre!
[03:48] Isidoro
    Og...
[03:49] Puck
    ...re!
[03:50] ---
    An ogre.
[03:53] Schierke
    Why is something like that in this world?
[04:05] Isidoro
    Holy crap...
[04:08] Schierke
    It's all right. An ogre cannot
    set foot within this shield.
[04:12] Schierke
    However...
[04:13] Schierke
    No!
[04:19] Guts
    What's going on?
[04:21] Schierke
    This shield protects against spiritual
    forms, not physical ones.
[04:26] Guts
    What?
[04:48] Villagers
    We're finished!
[04:48] Villagers
    With a monster like that...
[04:50] Schierke
    We need to buy time...
[04:52] ---
    Time for me to cast a spell.
[04:55] Villager
    Hey...
[05:01] Guts
    Got it, Commander.
[05:03] Ivalera
    Hey, hey! What the heck is he thinking?
[05:06] Villagers
    That's impossible! He'll be flattened!
[05:09] Puck
    Nah.
[05:11] Puck
    He's pretty used to this kind of stuff.
[05:16] Schierke
    No!
[05:31] Puck
    See? I told you.
[05:34] Villager
    I don't believe it.
[05:35] Villager
    Who the heck is that guy?
[05:37] Isidoro
    He really is amazing.
[05:38] Puck
    See? I told you!
[05:40] Serpico
    I knew he wasn't normal, but to
    think it was to this extent...
[05:44] Ivalera
    Well, would you look at that...
[05:47] Ivalera
    Now's your chance!
[05:50] Schierke
    He managed that much, using only
    his physical body without magic.
[05:54] ---
    How can a mortal go that far?
[06:03] Guts
    I guess you're as tough as you are big.
[06:06] ---
    Not like the small fry.
[06:08] Guts
    Before its arm attaches...
[06:15] Guts
    Water?
[06:21] Schierke
    That's a kelpie!
[06:23] Serpico
    Kelpie, as in the things that
    drown travelers in rivers?
[06:27] Schierke
    First an ogre, now a kelpie. But why?
[06:31] Schierke
    Rain... No!
[06:33] Guts
    What the hell?
[06:34] ---
    That monster can use magic?
[06:38] Schierke
    A kelpie is a mid-level water spirit.
[06:41] Schierke
    It easily controls elementals
[06:43] ---
    of the same type that are a lower
    level or without consciousness!
[06:46] Schierke
    A kelpie in the rain is
    highly dangerous.
[06:52] Guts
    Come on... It just goes after anything?
[06:54] Schierke
    They're following their desires.
[06:57] Schierke
    They want to devour the spirits of
    humans, which they rarely get.
[07:00] Schierke
    This isn't good!
[07:02] ---
    An ogre and a kelpie, on top of the
    trolls. It's completely unexpected!
[07:07] Serpico
    I'll go.
[07:07] Farnese
    Serpico!
[07:08] Schierke
    It's impossible! Dealing with
    trolls is one thing, but...
[07:11] Serpico
    It's all right.
[07:12] ---
    I shall deal with them and
    buy you some time.
[07:15] ---
    So, if you could cast the spell...
[07:17] Schierke
    But...
[07:18] Serpico
    Lady Farnese...
[07:19] Farnese
    Eh?
[07:20] Serpico
    Please make sure to protect Casca.
[07:24] Farnese
    Huh? Right...
[07:29] Serpico
    Now, then...
[07:30] Farnese
    Serpico!
[07:38] Pastor
    He flew.
[07:39] Schierke
    To think he was able to control the
    sylphs to this extent so quickly...
[07:44] Serpico
    Lady Farnese, I was unable to free you.
[07:50] Serpico
    Only stayed by your side.
[07:53] Serpico
    No, I never even considered doing so.
[07:56] Serpico
    I was surrounded by a dark repose
    beside another closed soul...
[08:01] ---
    Like the other half of myself.
[08:04] Serpico
    But that appears to be at an end.
[08:07] Guts
    Be careful. They aren't
    like the usual ones.
[08:08] Serpico
    But I'll at least ensure
[08:10] Serpico
    Good grief. I don't know what
    you consider usual ones.
[08:10] ---
    my other half isn't torn to
    shreds within the storm.
[08:16] Serpico
    Spirits of the wind, give me strength.
[08:19] Puck
    An anything-goes tag match.
[08:22] Serpico
    Now, then...
[08:35] Serpico
    It appears the frog horse
    is better suited to me.
[08:37] Serpico
    I'll take care of it.
[08:39] Guts
    Do what you want.
[08:41] Guts
    This thing is simpler and
    better for me to fight.
[08:59] Villager
    Whoa... He defeated it.
[09:01] Villager
    He defeated that monster by himself.
[09:08] Guts
    Of course.
[09:14] Puck
    And you've become the small fry.
[09:16] Puck
    You're an excellent small fry, though.
[09:16] Isidoro
    I can't do a single thing,
    at a time like this?
[09:19] Pastor
    What is this sight? Oh, God!
[09:25] Scheirke
    I must hurry.
[09:27] Schierke
    Deeper... Slightly beyond the
    spirit world's depths!
[09:34] Schierke
    That's a shrine...
[09:36] Schierke
    The spiritual form of the shrine that
    stood before the church was built.
[09:42] Schierke
    Water elementals... Undines!
[09:47] Schierke
    I see!
[10:02] Serpico
    It's no use.
[10:04] ---
    A wall of water is blocking
    all of my attacks.
[10:08] Serpico
    On the other hand, I am unable
    to block everything.
[10:12] Serpico
    To think a splash of water
    was so powerful...
[10:15] Serpico
    I'm being pushed back...
[10:17] ---
    Though, since I'm a beginner to
    magic, that can't be helped.
[10:26] Serpico
    This is...
[10:30] Serpico
    I can't breathe!
[10:31] Farnese
    Something is wrong
    with Serpico! Serpico!
[10:49] Serpico
    I see...
[10:51] ---
    Splashing water at me wasn't
    the extent of its abilities.
[10:54] Serpico
    I was about to drown atop this hill.
[11:00] Serpico
    But because of that, now I know
[11:02] ---
    the wind doesn't only have the
    power to cut through things.
[11:07] Serpico
    I'm counting on you, little spirits.
[11:17] Serpico
    If we cannot cut through it,
    we just need to lift it up.
[11:29] Farnese
    Serpico!
[11:36] Serpico
    I lowered my guard...
[11:38] Isidoro
    This isn't good! Serpico's in trouble!
[11:52] Farnese
    Serpico!
[11:53] Pastor
    You fool! You'll fall!
[12:01] Serpico
    The water is moving away
    from the kelpie?
[12:08] Guts
    What the...
[12:09] Pastor
    Is this witchcraft, as well?
[12:18] Farnese
    That's...
[12:19] Pastor
    What? What do you see?
[12:22] Ivalera
    That's a water spirit.
[12:24] ---
    Right now, Schierke is one
    with the water spirit.
[12:27] Ivalera
    It's what you call possession.
[12:34] Villager
    An angel?
[12:36] Schierke/Spirit
    I am the kindred of water.
[12:38] Schierke/spirit
    I am the spirit that flows in
    the rivers of this land.
[12:41] Schierke/spirit
    In accordance with the ancient covenant,
[12:43] ---
    I purify the evil spirits that
    have soiled this land.
[12:47] Schierke/spirit
    On behalf of the Lady of the
    Depths, I order the undines.
[12:52] Schierke/spirit
    Wash into the underworld's dark depths
[12:54] ---
    the evil spirits that plague the land.
[13:01] Schierke/spirit
    Water...
[13:03] Schierke/spirit
    I am water.
[13:05] Schierke/spirit
    I am water itself.
[13:08] Schierke/spirit
    Gather, my kindred.
[13:11] Schierke/spirit
    Gather, gather, surge, and flow.
[13:17] Guts
    Rumbling?
[13:18] Isidoro
    Now what?
[13:20] Serpico
    This doesn't seem good.
[13:25] Isidoro
    The river's flooding!
    It's headed this way!
[13:39] Guts
    This is magic?
[14:00] Villagers
    Come inside, kid!
    You'll get swallowed up.
[14:04] Puck
    Dropey?
[14:16] Guts
    That's insane.
[14:19] Villagers
    The trolls... All the monsters
    were washed away.
[14:22] Voices
    We're saved!
[14:23] Voices
    We're somehow alive!
[14:25] Voices
    Lady Witch! Lady Witch!
[14:30] Pastor
    Witch...
[14:33] Puck
    We did it, Dropey!
[14:35] Puck
    Dropey?
[14:42] Ivalera
    That's enough, Schierke.
[14:44] Ivalera
    Looks like you defeated them all.
[14:46] Ivalera
    Schierke, we should wrap things up.
[14:49] Farnese
    What's the matter?
[14:51] Ivalera
    This isn't good.
[14:53] ---
    The connection to the water spirit's
    too strong. She's forgotten herself.
[14:56] Ivalera
    At this rate...
[14:58] Farnese
    The spell won't break?
[15:03] Farnese
    No... Schierke—
[15:04] Ivalera
    No, no! If you pull her out during a spell,
    who knows what will happen?
[15:10] Ivalera
    Right now, Schierke's
    in the spirit realm.
[15:12] Ivalera
    She probably melted into this flow when
    she became one with the water spirit.
[15:17] Ivalera
    If we wake her body
    before her soul is back,
[15:20] ---
    who knows what the effects may be?
[15:22] Ivalera
    Her soul might not be able to return,
    rendering her an invalid.
[15:25] Farnese
    Then what should we do?
[15:27] Ivalera
    Um, uh... I think for
    something like this...
[15:30] Ivalera
    Right, that's it! You use this
    wand and tap it in rhythm.
[15:33] Ivalera
    By tapping it in a constant rhythm,
[15:36] ---
    the caster's consciousness will
    concentrate on this world.
[15:38] Ivalera
    Or that's what Flora said.
[15:39] Ivalera
    The rhythm is seven-seven-seven.
    Seven, three times.
[15:44] Schierke
    Flow... Intensely. Surge.
[15:48] Schierke
    Anger that cannot be expressed
    using human words!
[15:52] Schierke
    This is...
[15:55] Flora
    Becoming one with the
    spirits is very important.
[15:58] Flora
    But you mustn't let them swallow you.
[16:01] Flora
    In order to stop that,
[16:03] ---
    the mage must tap their wand
    to retain their consciousness.
[16:08] Flora
    Do not forget.
[16:09] Flora
    The way of magic is never about
    becoming one with power.
[16:14] ---
    The way of magic...
[16:17] Schierke
    That's right. I...
[16:22] Ivalera
    Schierke!
[16:24] Farnese
    Schierke?
[16:25] Isidoro
    Hey! What the heck's going on?
[16:40] Guts
    Grab on!
[16:46] Isidoro
    What are you doing?
    Wake up, witch!
[16:47] Ivalera
    Stop!
[16:48] Schierke
    Oh, no!
[16:52] Farnese
    Grab on!
[16:54] Guts
    Casca!
[16:56] Serpico
    Lady Farnese!
[17:15] Villager
    It's all over.
[17:23] Guts
    Well?
[17:24] Isidoro
    No good!
[17:25] Isidoro
    I can't find them anywhere.
[17:26] Serpico
    Lady Farnese... Have those
    two not been found?
[17:31] Puck
    You aren't supposed to move yet!
[17:33] Ivalera
    It's all right.
[17:34] Ivalera
    Currently, Schierke is tracing their od.
[17:38] Schierke
    This is all my fault.
[17:40] Schierke
    I drowned in the power...
[17:43] ---
    If I had only acted more properly...
[17:45] Guts
    Hey.
[17:48] Guts
    Let the tension out of your shoulders.
[17:50] Guts
    If you're that stiff, you won't be able
    to do things you normally can.
[17:54] Guts
    You did a great job.
    Honestly, I'm surprised.
[17:58] Guts
    You saved this village...
    Though you were a bit rough.
[18:02] Guts
    No one blames you.
[18:05] Guts
    And so, I'm counting on you, Lady Witch.
[18:15] Schierke
    I found them! I can sense them!
[18:17] Schierke
    Their od... They're both fine!
[18:20] Isidoro
    Really?
[18:21] Schierke
    But this is...
[18:22] Guts
    What's wrong?
[18:30] Villagers
    Thank you.
[18:31] Villagers
    Thank you, Lady Witch.
[18:34] Girl
    Hey, what do you need to be able
    to do something so amazing?
[18:37] Schierke
    You should be thankful.
[18:38] Schierke
    Um, well, I borrowed the power
    of an angel or spirit.
[18:42] Schierke
    The ones who protected you are the four
    great angels from your scripture,
[18:46] ---
    who protect the four cardinal points.
[18:49] Schierke
    And the Lady of the Depths,
[18:52] ---
    the river spirit who was worshiped
    here before this church was built.
[18:57] Old villager
    Come to think of it, I think my great
    grandfather mentioned that.
[19:02] Old villager
    Long ago, a shrine was
    on this hill, where the
[19:06] Old villager
    river goddess was worshiped.
[19:08] Schierke
    The river spirit was a bit unruly
[19:11] ---
    at being awakened after having
    been forgotten for so long.
[19:16] Schierke
    That's why the village was flooded...
[19:19] ---
    It's because I'm still inexperienced.
[19:21] Villager
    Don't worry about it.
[19:23] ---
    We can rebuild our houses again.
[19:25] Villager
    We're alive right now because of you.
[19:30] Schierke
    That isn't the only thing.
[19:32] ---
    My rage against the villagers
    also caused this to happen.
[19:37] Schierke
    Reverend, would it be possible
    to build a small shrine
[19:41] ---
    for the river spirit, in the
    west of this square?
[19:45] Pastor
    Very well. Tolerance is
    another of God's teachings.
[19:49] Villager woman
    But I'm so surprised!
[19:51] Villager woman
    To think a little girl like you could
    cause a miracle like that!
[19:55] Villager woman
    Can anyone use magic?
[19:57] Schierke
    You need many years of
    training to learn magic,
[20:01] Schierke
    but if you desire the angels or
    spirits to hear your wishes,
[20:04] ---
    you all can do something.
[20:07] Schierke
    The reverend is very
    familiar with the method.
[20:15] Morgan
    What's the matter, boy?
[20:17] Isidoro
    Leave me alone.
[20:19] ---
    Are you okay, Gramps?
    Walking around like that...
[20:22] Morgan
    Yes, I feel much better,
    thanks to that little girl.
[20:26] Isidoro
    I wanted to at least thank you.
[20:29] Morgan
    The hero who saved this village
    doesn't need to thank me.
[20:32] Isidoro
    Oh, stop it. I didn't do anything.
[20:36] Isidoro
    I couldn't do a thing.
[20:38] Isidoro
    I'm just a brat that was
    running around, flailing.
[20:40] Morgan
    Oh, that's right.
[20:42] ---
    There's something I wanted to give you.
[20:47] Isidoro
    What's this?
[20:48] Morgan
    Long ago, my old man won
    that in a bet with a sailor.
[20:53] Morgan
    It should be small enough
    that you can use it.
[20:57] Isidoro
    Are you sure?
[20:58] Morgan
    A parting gift from an old man.
[21:01] Morgan
    I just remembered.
[21:04] Morgan
    I ran away...
[21:06] Morgan
    From the village, my family
    business, my sick mother...
[21:09] ---
    From all of those heavy,
    complicated things.
[21:13] Morgan
    Dreams are strange things.
[21:16] Morgan
    They can seem like brave challenges
    or like cowardly running away.
[21:23] Morgan
    I wonder which your dream will be.
[21:27] Isidoro
    This is the problem with old people.
[21:30] Isidoro
    Listen up, Gramps!
[21:31] Isidoro
    My ambition isn't some half-assed,
    fluffy kind of bullshit.
[21:37] Isidoro
    I'll show you that mine
    is the real deal!
[21:40] Isidoro
    And so, I'll gratefully take this.
[21:45] Guts
    Well?
[21:46] Puck
    He won't die, but...
[21:48] Ivalera
    He won't be able to move immediately.
[21:50] Schierke
    My spell on the church hasn't
    completely worn off.
[21:54] Schierke
    With another night, I'm sure
    the wounds will heal.
[21:57] Scheirke
    But I don't know if we have time...
[21:59] Serpico
    Please go at once.
[22:04] Serpico
    And please take care of Lady Farnese.
[22:09] Guts
    I'm heading out.
[22:16] Guts
    Hey.
[22:18] Guts
    Quit standing around.
    I'm gonna leave you behind.

[01:29] ---
    This show contains scenes that some viewers may
    find disturbing.​ Viewer discretion ​is ​advised.
[01:30] I
    You're sure this is the right way?
[01:33] S
    I am tracking the trolls'
    residual mental energy.
[01:36] S
    I am certain.
[01:38] I
    Residual?
[01:40] G
    Hey, have you picked up any
    other thoughts from them?
[01:44] I
    Nothing yet.
[01:45] I
    I keep calling to them, but they
    seem to be unconscious.
[01:49] I
    But it's all right.
[01:50] I
    As long as they have the silver shirts,
[01:53] I
    the trolls cannot touch them directly.
[02:00] I
    Wait.
[02:04] I
    Leave this to me.
[02:10] A
    Wh-What was that face?
[02:12] A
    Face?!
[02:13] ---
    Boo...
[02:14] I
    It is as I feared.
[02:16] I
    This is the astral realm.
[02:18] I
    And not a good part.
[02:20] ---
    This is Qliphoth, the territory of
    darkness, in the astral realm.
[02:24] ---
    This would normally be impossible.
[02:27] ---
    The astral and physical realms
    shouldn't overlap to this extent.
[02:32] A
    Now that my eyes have adjusted,
    I'm seeing all kinds of weird crap.
[02:35] Gu
    Yeah.
[02:36] I
    This way.
[02:38] I
    The trolls' lair is back here.
[02:41] A
    This place seems even worse.
[02:44] I
    I shall try to call them again.
[02:52] G
    Casca...
[03:00] Gi
    Where are we?
[03:06] Gi
    Casca!
[03:11] S
    Farnese! Casca!
[03:13] F
    Schierke!
[03:15] S
    Good, I finally got through!
[03:17] S
    Are you two all right?
[03:19] S
    Yes.
[03:20] S
    By the way, where are we?
[03:22] S
    The air is so stagnant...
[03:31] G
    What's wrong?
[03:31] S
    Farnese's od was suddenly disrupted!
[03:34] S
    It seems the things around
    her surprised her.
[03:37] S
    Let's hurry!
[03:40] S
    Farnese, calm down.
[03:42] S
    As long as you have the silver
    shirts, you'll be unharmed.
[03:47] F
    You can say that, but...
[03:50] F
    Casca, climb!
[03:51] F
    Hurry!
[04:00] S
    Are you all right?
[04:01] F
    Yes... It was nothing.
[04:06] F
    Nothing at all.
[04:10] F
    I am wielding a blade for
    another's protection...
[04:27] F
    Calm down!
[04:28] F
    Stay where you are.
[04:29] F
    Don't attract their attention!
[04:39] Gi
    Help... Help me...
[04:49] Gi
    No, stop...
[04:55] F
    Um...
[05:03] S
    No!
[05:09] ---
    Oh, no!
[05:09] G
    What's wrong?
[05:10] S
    The trolls found them!
[05:12] S
    We must hurry!
[05:15] S
    Stop.
[05:16] S
    I shall fool their od.
[05:21] S
    Now.
[05:22] P
    Wow.
[05:23] P
    What's going on?
[05:25] S
    Controlling od is part of being a mage.
[05:27] S
    Any mage can do it.
[05:30] P
    Sounds convenient.
[05:31] P
    Even a thief could learn a lot, right?
[05:33] P
    It sounds really useful!
[05:36] G
    Casca!
[05:47] F
    I just want to crouch and
    curl into a ball...
[05:53] F
    No!
[05:54] F
    Stay behind me!
[05:59] F
    But her warmth on my back
    will not permit that!
[06:04] F
    I'm helpless, and this is the first time
[06:07] ---
    I've been entrusted with
    someone weaker than I.
[06:10] F
    Her eyes that know and
    understand nothing
[06:13] F
    refuse to let me be that way!
[06:17] F
    Is this punishment or...
[06:31] G
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[06:32] F
    Guts!
[06:44] G
    You okay?
[06:45] F
    Y-Yes!
[06:47] F
    Where is Serpico?
[06:49] G
    Too hurt to move.
[06:51] G
    He's in no danger of dying.
[06:53] G
    I promised to bring you back.
[06:56] S
    Enoch villagers, we're here to save you!
[06:59] S
    We must leave immediately.
[07:01] S
    Follow me.
[07:03] Gi
    Help us...
[07:03] Gi
    Are we going to be saved?
[07:05] Gi
    Wait, the children are here!
[07:09] A
    Hurry!
[07:11] A
    There are still so many.
[07:13] A
    More than attacked the village!
[07:16] G
    I'll hold them off.
[07:18] G
    You take the villagers and go!
[07:20] S
    No! You cannot handle all these,
[07:23] S
    not without magical reinforcement!
[07:26] S
    You'll die, seriously!
[07:27] G
    Leave it to me!
[07:32] G
    Take care of Casca.
[07:33] C
    Yes.
[07:34] C
    Farnese...
[07:36] ---
    You've really helped me out.
[07:40] C
    I'm grateful.
[07:43] F
    No, I...
[07:46] F
    Let us go.
[07:49] G
    Isidoro...
[07:51] G
    Light the string poking out of it,
[07:53] G
    count to three, and throw
    it at the enemy.
[07:55] G
    It'll explode.
[07:57] G
    You're the rearguard.
[07:58] G
    Protect the women.
[08:00] A
    But I...
[08:01] G
    Get going!
[08:02] G
    There's no time to waste talking.
[08:05] G
    On the battlefield,
[08:06] ---
    with a weapon, even a kid is a
    force to be reckoned with.
[08:09] G
    I can count on you,
    so I'm counting on you.
[08:11] G
    Don't screw it up.
[08:15] A
    Fine! I'll do this!
[08:17] A
    Same to you! Don't die!
[08:20] G
    Now... Let's get started.
[08:34] G
    Look at 'em, crawling out...
[08:37] G
    They're like cockroaches.
[08:39] G
    I've got no choice.
[08:40] G
    Guess I'll go for a hundred
    consecutive kills of men...
[08:43] G
    no, animals once more!
[08:49] G
    You're hungry, right? Come on.
[08:52] G
    Half of you are about to be prey.
[08:56] S
    Hurry, everyone!
[09:00] A
    One... two... three!
[09:05] P
    Nice!
[09:06] P
    You're perfect for this!
[09:13] F
    Hang in there!
[09:14] F
    Come on, stand up!
[09:21] A
    What's wrong?
[09:22] F
    Nothing!
[09:30] F
    Let's go.
[09:52] S
    Stop!
[09:54] A
    What's wrong?
[09:55] S
    We're surrounded.
[09:56] S
    Thirteen in front.
[09:57] S
    Seven behind.
[09:59] A
    You can't distract them like before?
[10:02] S
    Not this many!
[10:04] S
    We cannot erect a shield
    and stop moving.
[10:07] S
    We'll break through!
[10:08] S
    I'll handle the front.
[10:10] S
    Isidoro, you take the rear.
[10:12] A
    Seven at once? Fine!
[10:14] P
    This is your big moment!
[10:16] Gi
    Go! Go!
[10:16] S
    I don't have time to cast a big spell.
[10:19] S
    They're here!
[10:20] S
    What?
[10:21] S
    Something approaches
    at incredible speed!
[10:29] S
    What the hell?!
[10:33] I
    What was that?
[10:34] P
    That's...
[10:47] G
    I guess this is it...
[10:55] G
    This feeling...
[11:06] S
    Everyone, we're almost there!
[11:08] S
    Guts, everyone has
    made it to the exit.
[11:11] S
    You hurry and get out, too.
[11:14] F
    Casca?
[11:18] F
    That's...
[11:20] A
    What's wrong?
[11:21] F
    Well...
[11:26] Gi
    Schierke!
[11:27] A
    Now what?
[11:30] S
    That was...
[11:33] S
    Guts!
[11:35] S
    What just happened?
[11:37] S
    Guts!
[11:53] Gi
    It has been so long since
    I have taken form...
[11:56] Gi
    And my body is composed
    of troll intestines?
[11:59] Gi
    How disgusting.
[12:14] Gi
    I missed you, boy.
[12:16] Gi
    It's been a while.
[12:19] Gi
    No, I have always felt you.
[12:23] Gi
    In the cave, at the tower.
[12:26] Gi
    During countless nights...
[12:29] Gi
    I felt your lamentations.
[12:32] Gi
    Now, let me feel it more...
[12:36] Gi
    Your rage. Your pain.
[12:39] Gi
    Unleash it all!
[12:44] P
    I feel so cold...
[12:46] P
    This is really bad.
[12:48] Gi
    I'm not feeling good, either...
[12:51] P
    I felt an unnatural flow of od
    from the bottom of the grotto.
[12:54] P
    What is happening there?
[12:57] I
    If we don't hurry,
    the trolls will return.
[13:01] S
    I have no choice.
[13:03] S
    I shall now perform the spell
    to seal the cave's entrance.
[13:07] I
    Hey, wait!
[13:08] I
    Guts is still inside!
[13:10] S
    There is no time.
[13:11] S
    If I do not seal this place,
[13:13] S
    the trolls will surely attack Enoch
    and the other villages again.
[13:19] S
    Guts should hear my
    telepathic messages.
[13:22] S
    Let's believe that he will return
    by the time the spell activates.
[13:29] Gi
    Yes... This is it.
[13:31] Gi
    This is what I wanted.
[13:34] Gi
    Your soul is suited to Qliphoth.
[13:39] Gi
    Your hatred...
[13:42] Gi
    Your pain...
[13:44] Gi
    And terror.
[13:49] Gi
    Now, fight me, struggler.
[13:53] Gi
    Pierce me with your
    big, thick sword...
[13:58] Gi
    Is that impossible for you, human?
[14:04] Gi
    Then...
[14:06] Gi
    Will you make a sacrifice,
    just as he did?
[14:14] Gi
    My...
[14:15] Gi
    How rude.
[14:18] Gi
    You shouldn't interrupt a man
    and woman having a tryst.
[14:23] Gi
    Or will you join us, King?
[14:28] Gu
    Slan, Whore Princess
    of the Uterine Sea.
[14:30] Gu
    You were the only one summoned?
[14:33] Gi
    Summoned?
[14:36] Gi
    I came here myself.
[14:39] Gi
    I desired to see this boy.
[14:42] Gi
    You understand, don't you?
[14:45] Gi
    This is what the fifth's
    appearance means.
[14:49] Gi
    The worlds have already
    started to overlap.
[14:52] Gu
    Then, no words are left to say.
[14:56] Gi
    This place might as well be my womb.
[14:59] Gi
    Rage! Violently!
[15:03] Gi
    Bastard spawn of darkness!
[15:11] I
    Listen, they can't enter this circle!
[15:14] I
    So don't go outside!
[15:16] F
    Look!
[15:17] S
    Human tools?
[15:19] F
    Schierke said this shield only
    affects ethereal beings...
[15:24] A
    What?
[15:27] A
    Fine!
[15:31] A
    Come at me, you mad apes!
[15:34] S
    So heavy...
[15:36] S
    Like I'm sinking into mud.
[15:39] Gu
    Using the law of correspondence
    is most effective...
[15:44] Gu
    The power of water spirits in the rain.
[15:47] Gu
    The power of earth spirits
    in the ground.
[15:52] Gu
    But that also brings danger.
[15:55] Gu
    If the power is too great
    for the caster,
[15:58] Gu
    it may swallow her.
[16:03] Gu
    The one which requires the
    most caution is darkness.
[16:07] Gu
    Do not forget...
[16:09] Gu
    When you gaze into the darkness,
    the darkness gazes into you, as well.
[16:21] Gi
    Well, Your Majesty?
[16:23] Gi
    Are you enjoying yourself?
[16:27] Gi
    This is the uterus of darkness.
[16:30] Gi
    The edge of the underworld,
    where accursed souls take form.
[16:35] Gi
    These children will come
    in endless numbers,
[16:37] Gi
    like insects from the earth.
[16:41] Gu
    The time has come.
[16:54] A
    Okay! That does it for those
    with human tools!
[16:57] A
    That was close...
[16:59] A
    I've only got one left.
[17:01] P
    Wanna use this?
[17:05] P
    It's huge!
[17:06] A
    So that's the boss monkey?
[17:08] A
    I'll use this to finish it.
[17:12] A
    Using his own guy as a shield?
[17:14] A
    What do I do?
[17:15] A
    I can't finish him like this.
[17:40] A
    Lower... Even lower!
[17:42] A
    Faster!
[17:54] Gi
    Hot.
[17:57] Gi
    So hot...
[17:58] Gi
    It's so hot!
[18:01] Gi
    The sensation of one's body
    being ripped apart...
[18:04] Gi
    But it isn't enough.
[18:06] Gi
    Not even close to enough!
[18:08] Gi
    More. I need more.
[18:10] Gu
    Stand fast.
[18:12] Gu
    With your sword, it is possible.
[18:15] Gu
    For that sword is forged by the
    malice of thousands of dying souls.
[18:21] Gu
    Pierce her!
[18:34] S
    How wonderful...
[18:36] S
    My womb is being torn open.
[18:39] S
    Within, life and death intermingle.
[18:42] S
    You are the best...
[18:54] G
    D-Did I win?
[18:58] G
    Let us meet again,
[19:00] G
    my beloved boy.
[19:17] A
    I did it! I did it!
[19:19] P
    But you didn't get them all!
[19:23] A
    Oh, shit.
[19:29] Gi
    I am the Lord of Rotting Roots.
[19:32] Gi
    Ruler of withered trees
    and polluted mud.
[19:36] Gi
    In accordance with my contract
    with the little one,
[19:40] Gi
    the trolls who crawl on my body
[19:43] Gi
    will become a breeding
    ground for maggots.
[19:52] Gi
    Rot.
[19:57] A
    Bloodlust!
[20:00] Gi
    Hey, wait!
[20:01] A
    You're going to bury Guts, too!
[20:04] S
    Guts, hurry and get out.
[20:07] G
    What the hell's going on?
[20:10] S
    These are the aftereffects of her
    forced advent and destruction.
[20:15] S
    Within this area, life and death
    have boiled, turning to chaos.
[20:20] S
    If left unchecked, not only will
    this cave be devoured,
[20:24] S
    but the entire area.
[20:26] G
    I've gotta worry about myself...
[20:28] G
    The exit's buried!
[20:30] Gu
    Perhaps it is time to
    test my weapon.
[20:33] Gu
    I had planned to use it to bury
    them within the vortex, but...
[20:41] G
    What are you thinking?
[20:42] G
    I don't have time for weird magic.
[20:51] G
    What's that sword?
[20:52] G
    Wait, I've seen it before.
[20:56] Gu
    Within myself, I forged this blade out
    of Behelits taken from apostles.
[21:02] Gu
    This is the Sword of Actuation.
[21:04] G
    Actuation...
[21:20] G
    That's...
[21:24] G
    It's going to catch us!
[21:27] A
    Shit! It's falling apart!
[21:29] A
    Hey!
[21:30] Gi
    She's working really hard right now!
[21:33] S
    No... I can't hold it back anymore.
[21:38] S
    Schierke!
[21:40] A
    Guts!
[21:43] A
    Guts?
[21:45] G
    What happened?
[21:46] A
    I cleaved space to travel
    through another layer.
[21:50] A
    It is this sword's power.
[21:52] G
    I don't understand a
    damn thing you say.
[21:56] A
    What's going on?!
[21:57] A
    How were you behind us?
[21:58] G
    I owe him another debt.
[22:02] Gi
    Are you okay, Schierke?
[22:04] S
    Yes, I'm fine.
[22:07] S
    That knight...
[22:10] Gu
    Look.
[22:36] S
    Qliphoth has closed?
[22:39] Gu
    Wow... Is this magic, too?
[22:41] S
    No, it wasn't me.
[22:44] S
    But now, we finally...
[23:40] G
    Comrades, huh?
[23:46] G
    I never thought I'd
    ever find them again.

[00:05] Flora
    It's finally done.
[00:07] Flora
    That ultimately became
    a far greater task...
[00:12] Flora
    Doesn't it make you nostalgic?
[00:15] Flora
    I didn't foresee having to bring
    this back out into the world.
[00:19] Skele
    You must know how dangerous this is.
[00:24] Flora
    I do.
[00:26] Flora
    I have been its guardian
    for all this time.
[00:29] Flora
    But that may be
[00:32] Flora
    all the more reason why those
    children need it on their journey.
[00:36] Skele
    As misfortune would have it.
[00:38] Flora
    Oh, I don't believe so.
[00:41] Flora
    Men may appear to make the same
    mistakes, again and again,
[00:45] Flora
    but fate is not a flat circle.
[00:49] Flora
    It is a spiral.
[00:51] Flora
    They will not necessarily choose
    the same path you and I did.
[00:59] Flora
    Here they come.
[01:06] Flora
    For them to tear through
    my barrier so easily,
[01:09] Flora
    my powers must be
    considerably weakened.
[01:17] Flora
    You will fight for me?
[01:19] Flora
    Either way, my fate is sealed.
[01:22] Skele
    Even more reason for
    you to go in peace.
[01:26] F
    Thank you.
[01:28] F
    I will not forget your
    devotion, old friend.
[01:43] F
    I would have liked to have seen
[01:46] F
    your bashful smile with my own
    eyes, one last time.
SIGN    The Berserker Armor
[03:22] Sch
    Huh?
[03:24] Ser
    Is something wrong?
[03:25] Sch
    No... For an instant, I thought I
    sensed my mistress's thoughts.
[03:30] Iva
    Maybe you're just itching
    to hear Flora's praise!
[03:34] Iva
    I bet the little witch
    Schierke's heroism
[03:37] Iva
    routing the demons will be
    a new legend around here.
[03:40] Sch
    I don't think so...
[03:44] Sch
    All I managed to do was
    to seal the trolls' lair.
[03:49] Sch
    I called forth a great power,
    but could not fully control it,
[03:53] Sch
    resulting in unnecessary destruction.
[03:56] Sch
    I am still inexperienced.
[04:01] F
    I was amazed!
[04:03] Sch
    R-Right...
[04:05] Iva
    Hey, you have a wild
    look in your eyes.
[04:08] I
    I think I've figured it out!
[04:10] Sch
    Truthfully, I don't really know if
    these people are my destiny.
[04:18] Sch
    But...
[04:22] F
    Guts?!
[04:26] I
    Wh-What's wrong?
[04:27] I
    Didn't your wound heal
    back in the church?
[04:32] Sch
    This is...
[04:34] I
    See, it's all closed up.
[04:36] Sch
    No, this is a grievous wound.
[04:38] F
    Eh?
[04:40] Sch
    His physical wound has healed,
[04:43] Sch
    but it hasn't healed on his astral body.
[04:47] Sch
    If we do nothing, he will weaken,
[04:49] Sch
    and his physical wound
    will reopen, as well.
[04:52] F
    Oh, no!
[04:54] F
    We can save him, right?
[04:55] Sch
    If we hurry to my mistress and
    use her medicine, yes.
[04:59] Sch
    Help me, everyone.
[05:05] G
    It's no big deal...
[05:08] G
    I just felt faint for a second.
[05:13] Ser
    I can lend my shoulder.
[05:15] Ser
    Grudgingly.
[05:16] G
    I'm fine.
[05:18] Sch
    Wounds inflicted on the astral
    body are wounds on the soul.
[05:22] Sch
    The pain should be acute
    enough to cause trauma.
[05:25] Sch
    He should not even be conscious.
[05:29] Sch
    Guts, what happened back there,
    after we had escaped?
[05:35] Sch
    That wound wasn't caused by a troll.
[05:39] Sch
    Even the protective charm
    I cast has been negated.
[05:46] G
    I landed a good blow with this
[05:49] G
    on a monster that pretends
    to be an angel.
[05:55] Sch
    What? How is that possible?
[05:58] Sch
    How can a mortal fight such
    a high-ranking astral being?
[06:03] Sch
    That sword...
[06:05] Sch
    Perhaps with its specialized power
[06:08] Sch
    against astral beings, developed with
    long use against them.
[06:12] F
    Do not let yourself be beguiled
    by hidden miracles.
[06:16] F
    Open your eyes and see the
    truth before you, as well.
[06:22] F
    He is still alive.
[06:29] Sch
    What is this flow of od?
[06:32] Sch
    From the forest...
[06:34] Sch
    From the mansion!
[06:36] Sch
    The forest barrier has fallen!
[06:41] F
    Casca?
[06:43] G
    Farnese and Casca, you wait here!
[06:45] I
    What's going on?
[06:46] Ser
    Troll stragglers?
[06:48] G
    Really bad things, far worse than
    trolls, are at the mansion.
[06:53] G
    The old lady's in trouble.
[06:56] G
    It's them.
[07:08] Sch
    M-Mistress...
[07:11] Sch
    Mistress!
[07:16] G
    You guys, stop her!
[07:18] I
    G-Got it!
[07:26] G
    There's no doubt about it...
[07:28] G
    Those are...
[07:31] G
    Apostles.
[07:41] Demon
    Where'd you come from?
[07:50] Demon
    What?
[07:51] Demon
    We have a human among us.
[07:54] Demon
    Are you with the witch?
[07:56] Demon
    That hurt!
[07:59] Demon
    Look at you, swinging that huge sword,
[08:03] Demon
    getting all wobbly!
[08:15] G
    You... Why are you here?
[08:19] Skele
    I have deep ties with the
    mistress of this mansion.
[08:23] G
    Ties...
[08:25] G
    I see.
[08:26] G
    That's why he was at the trolls' lair.
[08:29] Demon
    Who are you?
[08:31] Skele
    My name is not for the likes
    of you mere Apostles.
[08:36] Skele
    Let us simply say that I
    oppose the God Hand.
[08:40] Demon
    What the hell?!
[08:42] Demon
    Wait, I remember him.
[08:46] Demon
    You're the knight who appeared
    at our master's rebirth!
[08:53] G
    Master?
[08:56] Demon
    I know you, too.
[08:59] Demon
    You are our master's sacrifice.
[09:01] Demon
    You're one of the two who survived!
[09:05] G
    It can't be.
[09:07] Zodd
    Who would have thought I'd
    run into both of you here.
[09:13] Zodd
    I suppose it is fate.
[09:15] G
    Zodd...
[09:18] G
    Why are you here?
[09:20] G
    Wait, is the one you
    call your master...
[09:23] Zodd
    It is no secret.
[09:25] Zodd
    There is but one that inhuman things
    acknowledge as their master.
[09:32] Grun
    Sir Zodd...
[09:35] Grun
    Allow me, Grunbeld,
    to deal with this one.
[09:41] Zodd
    Very well.
[09:43] Grun
    Much obliged.
[09:45] Grun
    I've heard much of you.
[09:48] Grun
    Though a mere mortal,
[09:49] Grun
    you were strong enough
    to survive the eclipse.
[09:53] Grun
    The witch may be formidable,
[09:56] Grun
    but attacking an old woman
    concealed in a remote forest,
[09:59] Grun
    with these numbers,
[10:02] Grun
    hardly seems noble for a warrior.
[10:07] Grun
    That said, I pressed to
    assist in this task
[10:12] Grun
    as an opportunity to display
    my loyalty to the hawk.
[10:17] Grun
    And now, I can face a
    warrior such as you.
[10:22] Grun
    It was worth forcing myself to come.
[10:26] G
    Griffith's orders?
[10:28] G
    Why care about her?
[10:30] G
    I, Grunbeld, as a member of
    the Band of the Hawk,
[10:35] G
    challenge the Black Swordsman to a duel.
[10:38] G
    What?
[10:41] Grun
    Let us begin.
[10:43] G
    What did he say just now?
[10:47] G
    Band of the Hawk...?!
[10:50] Sch
    Mistress!
[10:57] Sch
    Isidoro?
[10:59] I
    What're you doing, witch girl?!
[11:01] I
    Where's your magic?
[11:02] Sch
    But...
[11:03] Sch
    I'm so distraught, I can't
    use my spells well...
[11:08] Sch
    Mistress...
[11:13] Ser
    You two, get out of here now!
[11:15] I
    Serpico!
[11:16] I
    Can't that feather duster do
    something about the flames?
[11:20] Ser
    Ridiculous.
[11:21] Ser
    It would only fan the flames!
[11:23] Sch
    Mistress, where are you?
[11:26] Sch
    Please respond!
[11:28] Flora
    Schierke...
[11:30] Sch
    Mistress!
[11:32] Flora
    Listen well, my beloved disciple.
[11:36] Flora
    Take that to the Black Swordsman.
[11:40] Sch
    You don't mean...
[11:42] Sch
    What happened?
[11:43] Sch
    Why is this happening?
[11:45] F
    Hurry.
[11:46] F
    A most terrible foe draws near.
[11:49] F
    If you cannot get that to him,
    the swordsman will...
[11:52] Sch
    But your life is in danger, Mistress!
[11:55] I
    Hey, what's going on?
[11:57] Flora
    You knew this would happen.
[11:59] Flora
    My time has come.
[12:02] Sch
    But...
[12:04] Sch
    But this...
[12:05] Sch
    Not like this! It's too cruel!
[12:08] Sch
    It should be peaceful.
[12:09] Sch
    Not like this, enveloped in flames!
[12:12] F
    I have garnered enough
    karma to merit this end.
[12:16] F
    Being a mage, you know better
    than anyone how sinful it is
[12:23] F
    for a mortal to live so long,
    in defiance of time.
[12:27] Sch
    But!
[12:29] Sch
    But I'll be so lonely...
[12:35] Sch
    I'll never take naps in the sun
    with my head on your lap,
[12:38] Sch
    or have tea with the golems again.
[12:41] Sch
    Everything will be gone...
[12:44] Sch
    Everything will go up in flames!
[12:48] Flora
    Schierke...
[13:05] G
    What a blow.
[13:08] G
    Though he's still in human form,
[13:12] G
    he's stronger than most Apostles.
[13:14] G
    How dare you use the name
    "Band of the Hawk"?!
[13:21] Grun
    Oh?
[13:31] G
    Shit... That cracked several ribs.
[13:36] Grun
    That's an impressive sword.
[13:38] Grun
    Even after taking two blows from
    my hammer, it hasn't snapped.
[13:43] Grun
    But I am less impressed
    by your swordsmanship.
[13:48] Grun
    You're just being thrown about,
    without any resistance!
[13:52] G
    Easy for you to say.
[13:54] G
    Without any armor, I'm...
[13:59] Demon
    The fire dragon sure likes his games.
[14:02] Demon
    Let's finish the job on our end.
[14:05] Demon
    Take the witch's head—
[14:08] Skele
    That won't happen.
[14:11] Demon
    You!
[14:14] Zodd
    Step aside.
[14:16] Zodd
    He is mine.
[14:19] Demon
    I gotta get him.
[14:21] Demon
    He killed one of us!
[14:23] Zodd
    That's an order.
[14:25] Zodd
    The rest of you, get the witch's head.
[14:29] Zodd
    Get to it!
[14:34] Zodd
    You, leaving the midst of battle,
    to go after some woman?
[14:38] Zodd
    How unlike you.
[14:40] Skele
    I remember that fighting
    was everything to you,
[14:45] Skele
    undying one.
[14:47] Zodd
    Don't get me wrong.
[14:49] Zodd
    I am the only one who
    can keep you at bay.
[14:53] Zodd
    That is all there is to it.
[14:56] Skele
    So things are a little different
    than usual for both of us.
[15:03] Demon
    Oh?
[15:05] Demon
    Kids?
[15:07] Demon
    The witch's disciple?
[15:08] I
    Wh-What the hell?
[15:10] I
    More monsters, just when
    we've dealt with trolls?
[15:13] P
    He's an Apostle.
[15:16] Demon
    Hey, if you want to live,
[15:18] Demon
    tell us where the witch is.
[15:20] Demon
    Though I guess you'll
    all die in the fire.
[15:28] Sch
    Curse you!
[15:35] Sch
    This way.
[15:36] Ser
    We must get out of here.
[15:38] Ser
    It may seem cruel,
[15:39] Ser
    but if we try to rescue Flora,
    we'll only die, as well!
[15:41] Sch
    We're going to the treasure room.
[15:43] Sch
    Something is there that
    I must get to Guts!
[15:47] Sch
    I understand, Mistress.
[15:50] Sch
    If that is your wish.
[15:53] Sch
    I do not know if he is my destiny.
[15:59] Sch
    But as a mage, I am the only
    one who can save him.
[16:05] Sch
    Only I, disciple of the witch Flora,
    of the forest of the spirit tree.
[16:11] Sch
    Here.
[16:13] I
    Is the protective charm what
    you need to get to him?
[16:16] Sch
    Yes, but that isn't all there is to it.
[16:19] Sch
    My mistress cast the charm
    on a certain relic.
[16:22] Sch
    It is a very dangerous
    and powerful relic.
[16:31] Grun
    Weak!
[16:34] Grun
    Are you truly the Black
    Swordsman they speak of?
[16:39] Grun
    The one who's struck down
    countless Apostles
[16:42] Grun
    and equaled Zodd the Immortal?
[16:45] Grun
    Our fated foe,
[16:46] Grun
    a weakling like you?
[16:49] Grun
    Answer me!
[16:54] Grun
    Sir Zodd is fortunate to have met
[16:56] Grun
    such a formidable opponent.
[17:00] Grun
    To a warrior, the battlefield
    is sacred ground.
[17:05] Grun
    Facing death amidst carnage
    is a warrior's desire.
[17:09] Grun
    But you are unworthy of a warrior's
    honor being wagered upon you.
[17:16] G
    Why is a monster acting like a warrior?
[17:20] G
    You're just full of yourself.
[17:24] Grun
    You are unworthy of a warrior's
    death by my hammer.
[17:30] Grun
    Die in pieces!
[17:42] G
    These guys...
[17:49] Grun
    Damn golems!
[17:51] G
    Schierke?
[17:53] G
    Is the old lady all right?
[17:58] G
    You're saying to go inside?
[18:01] G
    What's in there?
[18:06] G
    I see.
[18:25] Ser
    This is terrible.
[18:27] Ser
    Like Schierke said, his wounds
    have reopened...
[18:31] Iva
    We have no way to deal with them.
[18:33] I
    What now?
[18:34] I
    In his state, he couldn't do
    anything, even with armor!
[18:36] I
    If we stay too long, the fire
    will spread here, too!
[18:40] Sch
    True...
[18:41] Sch
    If he dons the armor in this state,
    his life will be in danger.
[18:45] Sch
    But...
[18:47] Demon
    Witch!
[18:49] Demon
    Where are you, witch?
[18:50] I
    Shit, it's them!
[18:52] P
    I think it's time to get out of here.
[18:54] Iva
    Stay as long as you'd like.
[18:56] Sch
    I must do something with my magic.
[18:59] Sch
    It's my responsibility for
    endangering them.
[19:09] Demon
    Huh? What's this?
[19:10] I
    Are you sure this'll do anything?
[19:11] Demon
    I-I'm stunned!
    This grid's stunning me!
[19:13] I
    What will having him in
    this stupid armor do?
[19:15] Ser
    We have to trust Schierke!
[19:18] I
    Damn it! Not my problem!
[19:28] I
    Here it comes!
[19:35] Grun
    Enough trickery...
[19:37] Grun
    Where have you hidden,
    Black Swordsman?
[19:39] Grun
    How far will you go to
    disgrace yourself?
[19:44] Grun
    What?
[19:50] Demon
    Help!
[19:51] Demon
    It hurts...
[19:53] Demon
    I ate him...
[19:54] Demon
    He should be dead...
[20:14] Grun
    That's...
[20:32] I
    W-Wow...
[20:39] I
    H-He's more than just strong!
[20:41] I
    What's going on?
[20:43] I
    He couldn't even stand earlier.
[20:46] I
    That was mean...
[20:47] I
    With something like that,
[20:49] I
    you should have given
    it to him for the trolls.
[20:52] Sch
    It isn't so simple a thing.
[20:56] Grun
    Is it really him?
[20:58] Grun
    His movements are completely different.
[21:02] Grun
    But that sword is indeed his.
[21:05] Zodd
    That's...
[21:10] Zodd
    How familiar, my fated foe.
[21:13] Zodd
    You would have him tread
    the same path as you?
[21:16] Zodd
    The same demented, demonic path?
[21:20] G
    What's going on with this armor?
[21:25] G
    The moment I put it on,
    all the pain went away.
[21:32] G
    Rather,
[21:33] G
    I don't care about pain anymore.
[21:37] G
    What's more important than pain
[21:42] G
    is this impulse that's rising within me.
[21:47] G
    I feel something violent,
    boiling up from within.
[21:51] Darkness
    Let go...
[21:53] G
    I see.
[21:54] Darkness
    Let go.
[21:55] G
    This...
[21:56] Darkness
    Let go of everything.
[21:58] G
    This is my...
[22:00] Darkness
    Let go.
[22:01] Darkness
    Let go of everything.
[22:05] Darkness
    Let go!
[22:12] I
    The armor's changing!

[00:05] Flora
    It's finally done.
[00:07] Flora
    That ultimately became
    a far greater task...
[00:12] Flora
    Doesn't it make you nostalgic?
[00:15] Flora
    I didn't foresee having to bring
    this back out into the world.
[00:19] Skele
    You must know how dangerous this is.
[00:24] Flora
    I do.
[00:26] Flora
    I have been its guardian
    for all this time.
[00:29] Flora
    But that may be
[00:32] Flora
    all the more reason why those
    children need it on their journey.
[00:36] Skele
    As misfortune would have it.
[00:38] Flora
    Oh, I don't believe so.
[00:41] Flora
    Men may appear to make the same
    mistakes, again and again,
[00:45] Flora
    but fate is not a flat circle.
[00:49] Flora
    It is a spiral.
[00:51] Flora
    They will not necessarily choose
    the same path you and I did.
[00:59] Flora
    Here they come.
[01:06] Flora
    For them to tear through
    my barrier so easily,
[01:09] Flora
    my powers must be
    considerably weakened.
[01:17] Flora
    You will fight for me?
[01:19] Flora
    Either way, my fate is sealed.
[01:22] Skele
    Even more reason for
    you to go in peace.
[01:26] F
    Thank you.
[01:28] F
    I will not forget your
    devotion, old friend.
[01:43] F
    I would have liked to have seen
[01:46] F
    your bashful smile with my own
    eyes, one last time.
SIGN    The Berserker Armor
[03:22] Sch
    Huh?
[03:24] Ser
    Is something wrong?
[03:25] Sch
    No... For an instant, I thought I
    sensed my mistress's thoughts.
[03:30] Iva
    Maybe you're just itching
    to hear Flora's praise!
[03:34] Iva
    I bet the little witch
    Schierke's heroism
[03:37] Iva
    routing the demons will be
    a new legend around here.
[03:40] Sch
    I don't think so...
[03:44] Sch
    All I managed to do was
    to seal the trolls' lair.
[03:49] Sch
    I called forth a great power,
    but could not fully control it,
[03:53] Sch
    resulting in unnecessary destruction.
[03:56] Sch
    I am still inexperienced.
[04:01] F
    I was amazed!
[04:03] Sch
    R-Right...
[04:05] Iva
    Hey, you have a wild
    look in your eyes.
[04:08] I
    I think I've figured it out!
[04:10] Sch
    Truthfully, I don't really know if
    these people are my destiny.
[04:18] Sch
    But...
[04:22] F
    Guts?!
[04:26] I
    Wh-What's wrong?
[04:27] I
    Didn't your wound heal
    back in the church?
[04:32] Sch
    This is...
[04:34] I
    See, it's all closed up.
[04:36] Sch
    No, this is a grievous wound.
[04:38] F
    Eh?
[04:40] Sch
    His physical wound has healed,
[04:43] Sch
    but it hasn't healed on his astral body.
[04:47] Sch
    If we do nothing, he will weaken,
[04:49] Sch
    and his physical wound
    will reopen, as well.
[04:52] F
    Oh, no!
[04:54] F
    We can save him, right?
[04:55] Sch
    If we hurry to my mistress and
    use her medicine, yes.
[04:59] Sch
    Help me, everyone.
[05:05] G
    It's no big deal...
[05:08] G
    I just felt faint for a second.
[05:13] Ser
    I can lend my shoulder.
[05:15] Ser
    Grudgingly.
[05:16] G
    I'm fine.
[05:18] Sch
    Wounds inflicted on the astral
    body are wounds on the soul.
[05:22] Sch
    The pain should be acute
    enough to cause trauma.
[05:25] Sch
    He should not even be conscious.
[05:29] Sch
    Guts, what happened back there,
    after we had escaped?
[05:35] Sch
    That wound wasn't caused by a troll.
[05:39] Sch
    Even the protective charm
    I cast has been negated.
[05:46] G
    I landed a good blow with this
[05:49] G
    on a monster that pretends
    to be an angel.
[05:55] Sch
    What? How is that possible?
[05:58] Sch
    How can a mortal fight such
    a high-ranking astral being?
[06:03] Sch
    That sword...
[06:05] Sch
    Perhaps with its specialized power
[06:08] Sch
    against astral beings, developed with
    long use against them.
[06:12] F
    Do not let yourself be beguiled
    by hidden miracles.
[06:16] F
    Open your eyes and see the
    truth before you, as well.
[06:22] F
    He is still alive.
[06:29] Sch
    What is this flow of od?
[06:32] Sch
    From the forest...
[06:34] Sch
    From the mansion!
[06:36] Sch
    The forest barrier has fallen!
[06:41] F
    Casca?
[06:43] G
    Farnese and Casca, you wait here!
[06:45] I
    What's going on?
[06:46] Ser
    Troll stragglers?
[06:48] G
    Really bad things, far worse than
    trolls, are at the mansion.
[06:53] G
    The old lady's in trouble.
[06:56] G
    It's them.
[07:08] Sch
    M-Mistress...
[07:11] Sch
    Mistress!
[07:16] G
    You guys, stop her!
[07:18] I
    G-Got it!
[07:26] G
    There's no doubt about it...
[07:28] G
    Those are...
[07:31] G
    Apostles.
[07:41] Demon
    Where'd you come from?
[07:50] Demon
    What?
[07:51] Demon
    We have a human among us.
[07:54] Demon
    Are you with the witch?
[07:56] Demon
    That hurt!
[07:59] Demon
    Look at you, swinging that huge sword,
[08:03] Demon
    getting all wobbly!
[08:15] G
    You... Why are you here?
[08:19] Skele
    I have deep ties with the
    mistress of this mansion.
[08:23] G
    Ties...
[08:25] G
    I see.
[08:26] G
    That's why he was at the trolls' lair.
[08:29] Demon
    Who are you?
[08:31] Skele
    My name is not for the likes
    of you mere Apostles.
[08:36] Skele
    Let us simply say that I
    oppose the God Hand.
[08:40] Demon
    What the hell?!
[08:42] Demon
    Wait, I remember him.
[08:46] Demon
    You're the knight who appeared
    at our master's rebirth!
[08:53] G
    Master?
[08:56] Demon
    I know you, too.
[08:59] Demon
    You are our master's sacrifice.
[09:01] Demon
    You're one of the two who survived!
[09:05] G
    It can't be.
[09:07] Zodd
    Who would have thought I'd
    run into both of you here.
[09:13] Zodd
    I suppose it is fate.
[09:15] G
    Zodd...
[09:18] G
    Why are you here?
[09:20] G
    Wait, is the one you
    call your master...
[09:23] Zodd
    It is no secret.
[09:25] Zodd
    There is but one that inhuman things
    acknowledge as their master.
[09:32] Grun
    Sir Zodd...
[09:35] Grun
    Allow me, Grunbeld,
    to deal with this one.
[09:41] Zodd
    Very well.
[09:43] Grun
    Much obliged.
[09:45] Grun
    I've heard much of you.
[09:48] Grun
    Though a mere mortal,
[09:49] Grun
    you were strong enough
    to survive the eclipse.
[09:53] Grun
    The witch may be formidable,
[09:56] Grun
    but attacking an old woman
    concealed in a remote forest,
[09:59] Grun
    with these numbers,
[10:02] Grun
    hardly seems noble for a warrior.
[10:07] Grun
    That said, I pressed to
    assist in this task
[10:12] Grun
    as an opportunity to display
    my loyalty to the hawk.
[10:17] Grun
    And now, I can face a
    warrior such as you.
[10:22] Grun
    It was worth forcing myself to come.
[10:26] G
    Griffith's orders?
[10:28] G
    Why care about her?
[10:30] G
    I, Grunbeld, as a member of
    the Band of the Hawk,
[10:35] G
    challenge the Black Swordsman to a duel.
[10:38] G
    What?
[10:41] Grun
    Let us begin.
[10:43] G
    What did he say just now?
[10:47] G
    Band of the Hawk...?!
[10:50] Sch
    Mistress!
[10:57] Sch
    Isidoro?
[10:59] I
    What're you doing, witch girl?!
[11:01] I
    Where's your magic?
[11:02] Sch
    But...
[11:03] Sch
    I'm so distraught, I can't
    use my spells well...
[11:08] Sch
    Mistress...
[11:13] Ser
    You two, get out of here now!
[11:15] I
    Serpico!
[11:16] I
    Can't that feather duster do
    something about the flames?
[11:20] Ser
    Ridiculous.
[11:21] Ser
    It would only fan the flames!
[11:23] Sch
    Mistress, where are you?
[11:26] Sch
    Please respond!
[11:28] Flora
    Schierke...
[11:30] Sch
    Mistress!
[11:32] Flora
    Listen well, my beloved disciple.
[11:36] Flora
    Take that to the Black Swordsman.
[11:40] Sch
    You don't mean...
[11:42] Sch
    What happened?
[11:43] Sch
    Why is this happening?
[11:45] F
    Hurry.
[11:46] F
    A most terrible foe draws near.
[11:49] F
    If you cannot get that to him,
    the swordsman will...
[11:52] Sch
    But your life is in danger, Mistress!
[11:55] I
    Hey, what's going on?
[11:57] Flora
    You knew this would happen.
[11:59] Flora
    My time has come.
[12:02] Sch
    But...
[12:04] Sch
    But this...
[12:05] Sch
    Not like this! It's too cruel!
[12:08] Sch
    It should be peaceful.
[12:09] Sch
    Not like this, enveloped in flames!
[12:12] F
    I have garnered enough
    karma to merit this end.
[12:16] F
    Being a mage, you know better
    than anyone how sinful it is
[12:23] F
    for a mortal to live so long,
    in defiance of time.
[12:27] Sch
    But!
[12:29] Sch
    But I'll be so lonely...
[12:35] Sch
    I'll never take naps in the sun
    with my head on your lap,
[12:38] Sch
    or have tea with the golems again.
[12:41] Sch
    Everything will be gone...
[12:44] Sch
    Everything will go up in flames!
[12:48] Flora
    Schierke...
[13:05] G
    What a blow.
[13:08] G
    Though he's still in human form,
[13:12] G
    he's stronger than most Apostles.
[13:14] G
    How dare you use the name
    "Band of the Hawk"?!
[13:21] Grun
    Oh?
[13:31] G
    Shit... That cracked several ribs.
[13:36] Grun
    That's an impressive sword.
[13:38] Grun
    Even after taking two blows from
    my hammer, it hasn't snapped.
[13:43] Grun
    But I am less impressed
    by your swordsmanship.
[13:48] Grun
    You're just being thrown about,
    without any resistance!
[13:52] G
    Easy for you to say.
[13:54] G
    Without any armor, I'm...
[13:59] Demon
    The fire dragon sure likes his games.
[14:02] Demon
    Let's finish the job on our end.
[14:05] Demon
    Take the witch's head—
[14:08] Skele
    That won't happen.
[14:11] Demon
    You!
[14:14] Zodd
    Step aside.
[14:16] Zodd
    He is mine.
[14:19] Demon
    I gotta get him.
[14:21] Demon
    He killed one of us!
[14:23] Zodd
    That's an order.
[14:25] Zodd
    The rest of you, get the witch's head.
[14:29] Zodd
    Get to it!
[14:34] Zodd
    You, leaving the midst of battle,
    to go after some woman?
[14:38] Zodd
    How unlike you.
[14:40] Skele
    I remember that fighting
    was everything to you,
[14:45] Skele
    undying one.
[14:47] Zodd
    Don't get me wrong.
[14:49] Zodd
    I am the only one who
    can keep you at bay.
[14:53] Zodd
    That is all there is to it.
[14:56] Skele
    So things are a little different
    than usual for both of us.
[15:03] Demon
    Oh?
[15:05] Demon
    Kids?
[15:07] Demon
    The witch's disciple?
[15:08] I
    Wh-What the hell?
[15:10] I
    More monsters, just when
    we've dealt with trolls?
[15:13] P
    He's an Apostle.
[15:16] Demon
    Hey, if you want to live,
[15:18] Demon
    tell us where the witch is.
[15:20] Demon
    Though I guess you'll
    all die in the fire.
[15:28] Sch
    Curse you!
[15:35] Sch
    This way.
[15:36] Ser
    We must get out of here.
[15:38] Ser
    It may seem cruel,
[15:39] Ser
    but if we try to rescue Flora,
    we'll only die, as well!
[15:41] Sch
    We're going to the treasure room.
[15:43] Sch
    Something is there that
    I must get to Guts!
[15:47] Sch
    I understand, Mistress.
[15:50] Sch
    If that is your wish.
[15:53] Sch
    I do not know if he is my destiny.
[15:59] Sch
    But as a mage, I am the only
    one who can save him.
[16:05] Sch
    Only I, disciple of the witch Flora,
    of the forest of the spirit tree.
[16:11] Sch
    Here.
[16:13] I
    Is the protective charm what
    you need to get to him?
[16:16] Sch
    Yes, but that isn't all there is to it.
[16:19] Sch
    My mistress cast the charm
    on a certain relic.
[16:22] Sch
    It is a very dangerous
    and powerful relic.
[16:31] Grun
    Weak!
[16:34] Grun
    Are you truly the Black
    Swordsman they speak of?
[16:39] Grun
    The one who's struck down
    countless Apostles
[16:42] Grun
    and equaled Zodd the Immortal?
[16:45] Grun
    Our fated foe,
[16:46] Grun
    a weakling like you?
[16:49] Grun
    Answer me!
[16:54] Grun
    Sir Zodd is fortunate to have met
[16:56] Grun
    such a formidable opponent.
[17:00] Grun
    To a warrior, the battlefield
    is sacred ground.
[17:05] Grun
    Facing death amidst carnage
    is a warrior's desire.
[17:09] Grun
    But you are unworthy of a warrior's
    honor being wagered upon you.
[17:16] G
    Why is a monster acting like a warrior?
[17:20] G
    You're just full of yourself.
[17:24] Grun
    You are unworthy of a warrior's
    death by my hammer.
[17:30] Grun
    Die in pieces!
[17:42] G
    These guys...
[17:49] Grun
    Damn golems!
[17:51] G
    Schierke?
[17:53] G
    Is the old lady all right?
[17:58] G
    You're saying to go inside?
[18:01] G
    What's in there?
[18:06] G
    I see.
[18:25] Ser
    This is terrible.
[18:27] Ser
    Like Schierke said, his wounds
    have reopened...
[18:31] Iva
    We have no way to deal with them.
[18:33] I
    What now?
[18:34] I
    In his state, he couldn't do
    anything, even with armor!
[18:36] I
    If we stay too long, the fire
    will spread here, too!
[18:40] Sch
    True...
[18:41] Sch
    If he dons the armor in this state,
    his life will be in danger.
[18:45] Sch
    But...
[18:47] Demon
    Witch!
[18:49] Demon
    Where are you, witch?
[18:50] I
    Shit, it's them!
[18:52] P
    I think it's time to get out of here.
[18:54] Iva
    Stay as long as you'd like.
[18:56] Sch
    I must do something with my magic.
[18:59] Sch
    It's my responsibility for
    endangering them.
[19:09] Demon
    Huh? What's this?
[19:10] I
    Are you sure this'll do anything?
[19:11] Demon
    I-I'm stunned!
    This grid's stunning me!
[19:13] I
    What will having him in
    this stupid armor do?
[19:15] Ser
    We have to trust Schierke!
[19:18] I
    Damn it! Not my problem!
[19:28] I
    Here it comes!
[19:35] Grun
    Enough trickery...
[19:37] Grun
    Where have you hidden,
    Black Swordsman?
[19:39] Grun
    How far will you go to
    disgrace yourself?
[19:44] Grun
    What?
[19:50] Demon
    Help!
[19:51] Demon
    It hurts...
[19:53] Demon
    I ate him...
[19:54] Demon
    He should be dead...
[20:14] Grun
    That's...
[20:32] I
    W-Wow...
[20:39] I
    H-He's more than just strong!
[20:41] I
    What's going on?
[20:43] I
    He couldn't even stand earlier.
[20:46] I
    That was mean...
[20:47] I
    With something like that,
[20:49] I
    you should have given
    it to him for the trolls.
[20:52] Sch
    It isn't so simple a thing.
[20:56] Grun
    Is it really him?
[20:58] Grun
    His movements are completely different.
[21:02] Grun
    But that sword is indeed his.
[21:05] Zodd
    That's...
[21:10] Zodd
    How familiar, my fated foe.
[21:13] Zodd
    You would have him tread
    the same path as you?
[21:16] Zodd

    What's going on with this armor?
[21:25] G
    The moment I put it on,
    all the pain went away.
[21:32] G
    Rather,
[21:33] G
    I don't care about pain anymore.
[21:37] G
    What's more important than pain
[21:42] G
    is this impulse that's rising within me.
[21:47] G
    I feel something violent,
    boiling up from within.

SIGN    A Journey Begins in Flames
[02:26] Gu
    Interesting...
[02:27] Gu
    So that is your true power!
[02:30] Gu
    That's what makes you
    worth destroying!
[02:40] Gu
    He knocked my huge body away?
[02:47] Gu
    What strength!
[02:50] Gu
    Is this strike coming from the
    same person as before?
[02:58] Gu
    My shield can deflect a cannonball,
    and he shattered it?
[03:03] Gu
    No man in such heavy armor,
    with that huge sword...
[03:06] Gu
    No, no human
[03:09] Gu
    can move like that!
[03:18] Gu
    He has a cannon in his false hand?
[03:22] P
    He's always as strong as a monster,
[03:25] P
    but today, he seems even
    stronger than usual.
[03:28] Gu
    That false hand was a cannon?
[03:31] Gu
    Scary...
[03:32] S
    This will be dangerous if he
    continues to fight like that.
[03:37] P
    What are you talking about?
[03:39] S
    Guts's wounds haven't healed.
[03:42] S
    He simply cannot feel the pain.
[03:45] P
    The pain?
[03:47] S
    That relic was forged by dwarfs,
[03:50] S
    the Berserker Armor.
[03:53] P
    The Berserker...
[03:54] P
    ...Armor...
[03:56] S
    He who wears that armor
[03:58] ---
    and synchronizes himself with
    the terrible flow of od within
[04:02] ---
    becomes unstoppable.
[04:04] S
    The passions within him are so strong,
     he ceases to feel pain or fear.
[04:09] S
    Humans unconsciously limit
[04:12] S
    their own strength to
    protect themselves.
[04:16] S
    Pain is a warning to keep the
    body from destroying itself.
[04:20] S
    Without pain, humans become
    incredibly strong and agile.
[04:26] S
    They surpass the body's limits,
    endangering their lives.
[04:37] P
    What's happening to Guts?
[04:40] S
    No...
[04:41] S
    I'm not strong enough to overcome that
[04:43] S
    powerful flow of od and
    communicate with him.
[04:46] Gu
    Impressive, Black Swordsman,
[04:48] Gu
    our enemy.
[04:50] Gu
    Then take my strongest blow!
[04:58] Gu
    What?
[05:07] Gu
    He won!
[05:08] S
    But...
[05:14] Gu
    Splendid.
[05:16] Gu
    You have won our duel.
[05:20] Gu
    The rumors were true.
[05:22] Gu
    No, you are magnificent,
    even stronger than rumored!
[05:26] Gu
    However,
[05:27] Gu
    this is my great task.
[05:30] Gu
    For my master...
[05:32] Gu
    As an Apostle of the Hawk of Light,
[05:35] Gu
    I will end you!
[05:43] I
    A dragon?!
[05:45] Gu
    With the power granted
    to me as an Apostle,
[05:49] Gu
    I will bury the Black Swordsman!
[05:55] S
    He blocked it?
[05:56] S
    Oh, shit...
[05:57] Gu
    I-Impossible.
[05:59] Gu
    He stopped it?
[06:00] Gu
    A human stopped an Apostle's attack?
[06:05] Gu
    I refuse to accept it!
[06:15] Gu
    My corundum skin is harder than steel,
[06:17] Gu
    and you cracked it?
[06:21] Gu
    That isn't possible...
[06:32] P
    Hey, weren't his limbs pointing
    in directions they shouldn't?
[06:37] S
    It's the power of the armor.
[06:39] S
    The armor is supporting
    his broken limbs.
[06:43] S
    It's pierced his flesh,
    digging into his bones.
[06:45] S
    The last bearer of that armor let
    its steel teeth dig into his body.
[06:51] S
    He fought until he died,
[06:53] ---
    his bones all broken, and his blood
    all drained from his body.
[06:59] P
    Why use such a dangerous thing on
    Guts if he's almost dead already?
[07:03] I
    I-It's a noble sacrifice to
    save his companions!
[07:08] S
    What should I do?
[07:09] S
    It's my fault, once again...
[07:13] S
    Mistress, why?
[07:15] S
    Why that?
[07:17] S
    What do I do?
[07:19] F
    You must handle it.
[07:22] F
    Only you, a witch, can do it.
[07:26] S
    Mistress!
[07:28] S
    But I am so inexperienced.
[07:31] S
    My heart's in such chaos,
    I cannot use magic.
[07:34] F
    Only now that you know
[07:36] F
    your inexperience and how easy
    it is to drown in your power,
[07:40] F
    can you do it.
[07:42] F
    You must show the path to
    the swordsman inside
[07:45] ---
    those swirling currents of power.
[07:49] P
    H-Hey, what are you gonna do?
[07:51] S
    Bring Guts back.
[07:53] S
    Take care of my body.
[07:56] S
    I'll do it, Mistress.
[07:58] P
    Take care of it?
[07:59] P
    Hey!
[08:01] S
    I will save him.
[08:04] Gu
    I can't believe it.
[08:06] Gu
    You've endured two of my
    attacks in this form.
[08:10] Gu
    And even injured me?
[08:13] Gu
    What are you?
[08:15] Gu
    Fire Dragon, sir...
[08:17] Gu
    Let us join in, too!
[08:19] Gu
    We didn't get to kill the witch,
[08:23] Gu
    and now we don't have anything to do.
[08:25] Gu
    Looks like you're having a hard time...
[08:27] Gu
    You...
[08:29] Gu
    Come on...
[08:31] Gu
    If it's a fight as an Apostle,
    not a duel, isn't it all—
[08:36] Gu
    No fair! He was in the
    middle of transforming!
[08:42] Gu
    You bastard!
[08:44] Gu
    This feeling...
[08:45] Gu
    I broke four or five ribs, huh?
[08:56] P
    His fighting style's getting
    less and less human.
[09:00] P
    Human...
[09:02] P
    No, it's almost as if...
[09:07] Gu
    I see something yummy over here.
[09:12] Gu
    If we must, we take Schierke and run!
[09:15] Gu
    Right!
[09:16] Gi
    Schierke...
[09:18] S
    These...
[09:24] S
    These are the currents of
    hatred within the armor.
[09:29] S
    Will I make it in time?
[09:30] S
    Any normal person
[09:32] ---
    swallowed by this would have
    their ego torn apart.
[09:37] S
    This is...
[09:44] S
    Guts's hatred, given form
    by the armor's od?
[09:50] S
    Guts is inside?
[09:55] S
    Can I do this?
[09:57] S
    Can I save him from these
    terrible currents?
[10:01] S
    One mistake, and I'll be dragged along.
[10:09] S
    This isn't the time to hesitate!
[10:19] S
    Bubbles of light?
[10:22] S
    Fragments of Guts's memories?
[10:30] S
    They are like torchlights...
[10:34] S
    The darkness is heaving?
[10:42] S
    No!
[10:43] S
    What? I'm scared.
[10:45] S
    It's sucking me in...
[10:47] S
    Mistress!
[10:58] ---
    That is...
[11:00] ---
    my mistress's...
[11:14] S
    I see.
[11:16] S
    This is Guts's ego.
[11:18] S
    The talisman my mistress
    made held it together.
[11:25] S
    No! Don't let the flow take you!
[11:28] G
    Take... me?
[11:31] S
    Yes, you will cease to be yourself.
[11:35] S
    This place will absorb you!
[11:38] S
    Remember who you are!
[11:41] G
    It doesn't... matter.
[11:43] G
    Kill. Destroy. Ruin.
[11:46] G
    Slash. Fight. Enemy.
[11:49] G
    Apostle. Enemy. Friend.
[11:51] G
    Griffith...
[11:53] S
    It's so hot.
[11:55] S
    It does matter!
[11:57] S
    Remember the reason you travel.
[12:00] S
    The reason you're fighting right now!
[12:03] S
    A human soul wouldn't let itself
[12:05] ---
    be so badly hurt for something
    that doesn't matter!
[12:09] G
    Travel...
[12:10] G
    Fight...
[12:12] G
    Reason.
[12:21] G
    What is... this?
[12:27] G
    Who is this?
[12:35] G
    I know her.
[12:39] G
    Stop... Don't touch her.
[12:43] S
    Remember her! Her name is Casca!
[12:46] G
    Casca...
[12:50] G
    Your name is Guts!
[12:53] G
    The branded swordsman, Guts!
[12:57] G
    Protector of the branded woman, Casca!
[13:04] Gu
    Taste my burning heat!
[13:12] Gu
    What?
[13:20] Gu
    Inhuman!
[13:21] Gu
    Guts!
[13:22] Gi
    No, Casca!
[13:37] C
    Who are you?
[13:48] C
    Guts...
[13:49] C
    How awful.
[14:00] Gu
    I won't let you get away!
[14:03] F
    It's all right.
[14:08] Gi
    That's...
[14:15] Gi
    Mistress!
[14:23] Gi
    She's huge.
[14:24] Gi
    And young.
[14:26] F
    You did well, Schierke.
[14:30] F
    Go.
[14:32] F
    This forest will not last long.
[14:35] F
    When the spirit tree falls,
[14:37] F
    this domain will close.
[14:41] S
    No... No, I don't...
[14:45] F
    This is an interstice, where time
    drifts and flickers for old things.
[14:50] F
    Both this tree and I have
    lived a little too long.
[14:54] F
    No matter how enjoyable the sunlight,
[14:57] F
    young things must not stay here forever.
[15:02] F
    It's time to leave the nest.
[15:05] F
    Leave this place and find
    your own path, my disciple
[15:11] F
    I did not stay with you for many days.
[15:15] F
    But in my long life,
    they were the most peaceful.
[15:21] F
    Thank you.
[15:22] S
    Mistress!
[15:25] P
    Hey, you idiot!
[15:28] G
    Let's go.
[15:30] Gu
    Wait... Black Swordsman!
[15:33] Gu
    What is this flame?
[15:36] Gu
    That even I, a fire dragon,
    cannot dispel?
[15:40] F
    Life simply changes form.
[15:43] F
    We will see each other
    again in your dreams.
[15:47] F
    It's up to you whether you grab
    the fate in front of you.
[15:52] F
    Blessings upon your new
    journey, beloved child.
[15:59] S
    Farewell, my sunlight.
[16:24] Gu
    That's it.
[16:34] Gu
    Are you with the resistance?
[16:36] Gu
    Indeed.
[16:37] Gu
    A pleasure to meet you.
[16:40] Gu
    I am Laban, of Midland's Arklaw Knights.
[16:46] Gu
    Sir Laban,
[16:47] Gu
    you came to see us yourself?
[16:51] Gu
    As a military man, I admire
[16:54] Gu
    what you have accomplished so far.
[16:59] Gu
    No, "the resistance" is only a name.
[17:04] Gu
    All we can do is crawl beneath
    the earth, like moles.
[17:10] Gu
    Windham has become
[17:12] ---
    a city of demons, as if it were
    not a part of this world.
[17:16] Gu
    All who resisted were killed.
[17:19] Gu
    And all who were arrested,
    regardless of class,
[17:22] ---
    were sent to the battlefield
    as war slaves.
[17:26] Gu
    The women were sent to the castle,
[17:28] Gu
    where they are evidently being
    used in strange Kushan rituals.
[17:32] Gu
    We know not if they live.
[17:34] Gu
    The only ones left are helpless
    children and elderly.
[17:40] Gu
    How terrible...
[17:42] Gu
    But there is one piece of good news.
[17:46] Gu
    Princess Charlotte is alive.
[17:49] Gu
    We are told she is locked up,
[17:52] Gu
    on the Tower of Rebirth's highest floor.
[17:55] Gu
    Is that true?
[17:57] Gu
    It is certain.
[17:58] Gu
    We lost many comrades to
    obtain this information.
[18:03] Gu
    If the princess is safe...
[18:05] Gu
    If the royal bloodline flows,
    there is still hope!
[18:09] Gu
    Sir Laban, we are isolated
    here, in the capital,
[18:14] Gu
    knowing very little of what is
    happening on the outside.
[18:18] Gu
    So I wished to ask about
    a certain rumor.
[18:22] Gu
    Where is the hawk?
[18:27] Gu
    What?
[18:28] Gu
    No... It's them.
[18:34] Gu
    Th-This is...
[18:36] Gu
    Sir Laban, this way!
[18:41] Gu
    What is that monster?
[18:43] Gu
    Kushan magic.
[18:46] Gu
    The Kushans use magic to command
    half-man, half-beast creatures!
[18:57] Gu
    It's impossible to believe,
[18:59] Gu
    even though I just saw it
    with my own eyes.
[19:02] Gu
    We feel the same.
[19:05] Gu
    At some point, fog covered the city.
[19:08] Gu
    And the monsters came, as if drawn by it.
[19:15] Gu
    The citizens fear them,
[19:17] Gu
    and hide themselves in their homes.
[19:34] Gu
    W-We're trapped!
[19:43] Gu
    Arrows? From where?
[19:50] Gu
    That's...
[20:03] Gu
    People of Windham,
[20:05] Gu
    for now, hide and wait.
[20:08] Gu
    A strong wind will come to blow
    away the miasma over the city.
[20:14] Gu
    Who are you?
[20:17] Gu
    I am on a mission now, and I must go.
[20:21] Gu
    Hide and prepare,
[20:23] Gu
    for the storm the hawk will bring.
[22:06] ---
    So huge!
[22:11] Gu
    He appears to be having fun.
[22:12] Gu
    You're such a kid.
[22:14] Gu
    This is just a puddle.
[22:16] Gu
    Right, Schierke?
[22:31] S
    Thanks.
[22:40] S
    Guts...
[22:42] ---
    Um, are you all right?
[22:47] G
    My body isn't that fragile.
[22:50] G
    Don't worry.
[22:53] S
    But I still think you should
    remove that armor
[22:57] ---
    and rest at least four or five days.
[23:00] G
    I've been recovering for almost a month.
[23:03] G
    We have no more time to waste.
[23:06] G
    The pain doesn't lessen as
    much as when I'm fighting.
[23:09] G
    But even so, I can travel
    just fine, thanks to this.
[23:12] S
    You shouldn't lower your guard.
[23:14] S
    That armor is cursed.
[23:15] S
    If you get into a fight,
    you might lose control again.
[23:18] G
    If that happens, I have a
    witch I can rely on, right?
[23:25] S
    You really are reckless.
[23:28] S
    If that happens again...
[23:31] S
    No, even now, there's no
    guarantee he'll survive.
[23:35] G
    This is nice.
[23:43] G
    I thought I'd never see it again...
[23:47] G
    See the sun set so peacefully.

    It is a legendary island to the

    Like the forest of the spirit tree,

[01:25] P
    Farnese, you want to be a witch?
[01:28] Gu
    W-Wait a second...
[01:31] Fa
    Ever since the trolls, I have
    been thinking about it.
[01:35] P
    But you're an adult. You can't be
    an apprentice to this wimpy kid.
[01:40] Fa
    To be honest, I was astonished then.
[01:44] Fa
    The miracles, the divine power
    called "magic" that you used...
[01:48] Fa
    When the time came that even one
    such as I had to protect someone,
[01:51] Fa
    what lent me courage to do so were Casca
[01:55] ---
    and the magic dagger you gave me.
[01:59] S
    But that's just a silver knife.
[02:02] Fa
    To me, it was undoubtedly
    a magic dagger!
[02:08] Fa
    Flora told me to accept
    the great mysteries
[02:12] Fa
    and seek the truth about
    everything from my world.
[02:15] Fa
    That that was the way of magic.
[02:17] Fa
    If the light of a greater law can
    illuminate the darkness,
[02:21] Fa
    then please impart it to me!
[02:26] Gi
    Come on, this ain't a show.
[02:29] Gu
    Usually, they say that you cannot
    learn magic unless you start
[02:33] Gu
    at a very young age.
[02:37] Gu
    More than anything,
[02:38] Gu
    that is because, as people age,
    they become trapped
[02:41] Gu
    by their knowledge of
    the physical world,
[02:43] Gu
    so breaking free of their
    preconceptions is harder.
[02:47] Gu
    But after all the terrifying things
    you've seen, Farnese,
[02:51] Gu
    that isn't a concern, is it?
[02:54] Gu
    I am still training myself,
[02:57] Gu
    but I think I can teach you the basics.
[03:00] F
    Thank you, Teacher!
[03:02] Gu
    T-Teacher?
[03:05] Gu
    Lady Farnese... A w-witch?
[03:08] Gu
    Teacher?
[03:09] F
    Can we start with spells?
[03:11] S
    We'll start with the basics.
SIGN    Proclaimed Omens
[04:46] Gi
    Hey, Schierke, let's go back...
[04:48] Gi
    The sea's creepy at night!
[04:52] G
    Taking a walk?
[04:56] G
    It's true that this moonlight
[05:00] G
    makes it hard to sleep.
[05:02] S
    Guts...
[05:11] S
    I have never seen the ocean before.
[05:15] S
    My mistress told me that the sea is
     the gate to the spiritual world.
[05:21] S
    It's beautiful and kind,
[05:24] S
    eerie and terrifying,
[05:26] S
    a sight that touches the hearts
    of all who see it.
[05:30] S
    And that places like that are always
    connected to the spiritual world.
[05:35] S
    Back then, all I could
    do was imagine it.
[05:38] S
    But standing on the beach,
[05:40] S
    I understand her words
    for the first time.
[05:46] S
    I've departed on a journey from
    which there is no return.
[05:52] G
    You're too good a student.
[05:56] G
    It may be easier for you
    to keep it all inside
[06:00] G
    and spend your time
    worrying about others.
[06:04] S
    Th-That isn't...
[06:06] G
    But if you keep it inside
    all the time as a kid,
[06:09] G
    you'll end up a mess of an adult.
[06:13] S
    Don't worry about me!
[06:15] S
    To mages,
[06:17] S
    being parted by death from
    those closest to us
[06:20] S
    has a different meaning than to you
    who live in the physical world.
[06:25] S
    A mage places herself in both the
    physical and spiritual worlds.
[06:28] S
    And so to us,
[06:30] S
    it isn't an ending, but hatching
    into a great existence.
[06:34] S
    It isn't...
[06:35] ---
    It isn't...
[06:37] S
    a sad thing...
[06:54] S
    I feel a little better.
[06:56] S
    The salt air is stinging
    my eyes and nose.
[06:59] G
    Same here, actually...
[07:02] G
    My whole body.
[07:03] S
    I knew you were pushing
    yourself too hard!
[07:16] Gi
    I see!
[07:17] Gi
    I guess you're that age, huh?
[07:20] Gi
    But I can't believe your first
    time, it's an old guy...
[07:23] Gi
    I mean, older person...
[07:26] Gi
    But I guess he is a lot better
    than the other two.
[07:29] s
    What are you talking about?
[07:30] Gi
    A young girl's first love is
    for a wild older man!
[07:34] Gi
    It tickles!
[07:36] ---
    Lovely!
[07:39] S
    Wh-What's wrong?
[07:41] Gi
    We have company.
[07:43] Gi
    I guess you survived.
[07:46] Gu
    I might return those words to you.
[07:50] S
    Lately, I've been creating one
    debt to you after another.
[07:53] S
    Well, that's nothing new.
[07:56] S
    But thank you, I guess.
[07:58] S
    So what do you want today?
[08:03] Gu
    The eyes will lose color,
[08:06] Gu
    the tongue its sense of taste,
[08:09] Gu
    and fingertips will tire from shaking.
[08:13] Gu
    These are omens.
[08:15] Gu
    If you continue to fight in that armor,
[08:19] Gu
    then light, voice, warmth...
[08:22] Gu
    You will lose many things.
[08:26] S
    No...
[08:29] G
    I don't like it...
[08:32] G
    As always, you act like
    you know everything.
[08:36] G
    Thanks for the warning,
[08:38] G
    but I ain't ever letting
    that happen again.
[08:41] G
    Next time, I'll master this thing
    and stay in control.
[08:44] S
    That's right.
[08:46] S
    I shall not let that happen.
[08:49] S
    Thank you for what you have done for us.
[08:53] S
    I'm sorry to ask,
[08:54] S
    but what was your relationship
    to my mistress?
[09:02] S
    Did this armor originally
    belong to you, perhaps?
[09:08] Gu
    We were friends.
[09:11] Gu
    Just as you two are now.
[09:16] Gu
    The od in that armor is like a flame
    that will never be extinguished.
[09:22] Gu
    Even if you master it once,
[09:25] Gu
    the embers will continue to smolder.
[09:27] Gu
    Given the chance, they will
    become raging flames.
[09:31] Gu
    Even with the talisman protecting you,
[09:34] Gu
    you must never lower your guard.
[09:36] Gu
    Not if you wish to remain human.
[09:40] G
    Thanks for the kind tip.
[09:42] G
    While you're being kind, can you
    tell me something else?
[09:47] G
    Why did they...
[09:49] ---
    Why did the Apostles attack
    the old lady's mansion?
[09:54] Gu
    The hawk now places himself
[09:56] Gu
    beyond the laws that govern
    the physical world.
[10:00] Gu
    Where nothing in the human
    world can threaten him.
[10:06] Gu
    It would be as if the
    character in a story
[10:10] Gu
    challenged the story's author.
[10:15] Gu
    If any can challenge the hawk
    and stand a chance,
[10:19] ---
    it is another who is placed
    outside the story, as well.
[10:24] S
    That's why they went after my mistress?
[10:27] Gu
    They saw a single mage as a greater
    threat than an army, 10,000 strong.
[10:34] S
    No...
[10:35] S
    I can't accept it!
[10:36] Gu
    If you would continue your journey,
[10:41] Gu
    you will see the Apostles again, soon.
[10:45] G
    What?
[10:46] Gu
    And when that happens,
    their leader will most likely be
[10:51] ---
    the hawk.
[10:54] S
    Guts...
[10:56] Gu
    He's... coming.
[11:03] S
    Guts!
[11:07] Gu
    To protect or to challenge?
[11:10] Gu
    You will continually ask
    your soul this question.
[11:14] Gu
    That is your destiny, as a human
    who stands within the interstice.
[11:21] Gu
    Lastly, I give you one hope.
[11:25] Gu
    The fairyland to which you travel,
[11:28] Gu
    and the fairy king who waits there...
[11:32] Gu
    Their name is Hanafubuku.
[11:36] S
    I've heard of him.
[11:38] S
    He is a very strong fairy king,
    sung of in legend.
[11:42] S
    His name appears not only in grimoires,
[11:46] S
    but also in poems and stories.
[11:48] gu
    That bastard didn't say a word.
[11:52] S
    That was my mistake.
[11:54] S
    That the king of Puck's home
    would be so powerful...
[11:58] Gu
    With their power, it is possible.
[12:03] Gu
    Your comrade, the girl of the brand,
[12:08] ---
    may yet regain her mind.
[12:11] S
    Is that true?
[12:14] Gu
    I shall not repeat myself.
[12:16] S
    She can
[12:18] ---
    come back?
[12:22] S
    Seriously?
[12:26] Gu
    But do not forget.
[12:30] Gu
    Your hope may not
[12:33] Gu
    always be her hope.
[12:45] Gu
    Casca will...
[12:47] Gu
    Seriously?
[12:48] S
    Yes.
[12:49] S
    Hanafubuku is a great fairy king,
    so strong he features in legends.
[12:54] S
    I think we can be certain.
[12:56] Gu
    Wow, your king is amazing.
[12:59] Gi
    Why didn't you say anything?!
[13:02] Gu
    Don't tell me...
[13:03] Gi
    He didn't know?
[13:06] F
    That's great news, Guts.
[13:09] Gu
    Your hope may not
[13:12] Gu
    always be her hope.
[13:28] G
    Fog...
[13:36] S
    Guts?
[13:37] P
    What's wrong?
[13:41] S
    Something's coming, hiding in the fog.
[13:47] Gu
    Is it the usual ghouls?
[13:49] Gu
    Sounds fun!
[13:50] Gu
    Been a while since a good fight!
[13:52] S
    This od is closer to
[13:54] ---
    that of the monsters that attacked
    the mansion than of ghouls.
[13:57] S
    They're coming!
[14:15] P
    What is this thing?
[14:17] Gu
    A magical life form created by
    putting a spirit into an animal,
[14:22] Gu
    a type of familiar.
[14:25] Gu
    Who made these?
[14:26] Gu
    This isn't good!
[14:29] S
    Ivalera!
[14:30] I
    On it!
[14:31] I
    Yep.
[14:32] I
    Okay!
[14:34] S
    It's the full moon tonight,
[14:36] S
    when the power of magic is strongest.
[14:38] S
    Even if this isn't holy ground,
[14:40] S
    I can post talismans for the kings
    of the four cardinal points.
[14:43] S
    Buy me a little time
    to finish the spell.
[14:46] Gu
    Right.
[14:47] S
    Farnese, please take care of Casca.
[14:50] Gu
    Yes!
[14:54] S
    Guts, you can't fight like that...
[14:58] G
    It's the perfect chance to get my
    body back into fighting shape.
[15:04] G
    But we can't exit with those
    things outside the door.
[15:09] P
    Then let's give them a snack!
[15:22] P
    Taste my power!
[15:26] P
    It knew what I was going to do!
[15:28] Gu
    You just rolled right into its mouth.
[15:31] P
    Fine!
[15:39] P
    Okay, let's just keep it out!
[15:47] P
    Holy shit... You're back in business.
[15:53] G
    I can feel it.
[15:56] G
    He smells blood,
[15:59] G
    waiting for a chance to be unleashed.
[16:02] G
    Stay focused.
[16:04] G
    Freeze the core of your mind.
[16:07] G
    Draw only a minimum of
    power from the armor.
[16:10] G
    Just limit the pain enough
    so your body can move.
[16:14] G
    I'm the one who holds the reins!
[16:19] Gi
    It's here! It's here!
[16:20] Gi
    Do something!
[16:32] Gu
    Flashy, as always!
[16:34] Gu
    When you see it at night,
    it looks like an aurora.
[16:37] S
    You're all safe, aren't you?
[16:40] S
    For now, the area around
    this shack is safe.
[16:44] S
    But they have physical bodies,
[16:47] S
    which means there's a limit to
    the shield's effectiveness.
[16:51] S
    There must be someone nearby
    who is controlling this horde.
[16:54] S
    If you can defeat them...
[16:55] G
    Where is he?
[16:57] S
    I'm looking now.
[17:00] P
    Figure it out fast, Miss Witch!
[17:06] P
    Wait! Wait!
[17:09] G
    Are you done yet?
[17:11] S
    Follow the flow of od.
[17:16] S
    I found them!
[17:17] S
    Behind the rocks on the beach.
[17:31] P
    Okay!
[17:31] P
    Now it's time to bail!
[17:33] S
    Wait!
[17:34] S
    Not yet...
[17:38] S
    These are Kushans?
[17:46] S
    Fog?
[17:54] S
    Everyone, get out of there now!
[18:01] S
    What the hell is that?
[18:05] S
    It's bigger than an ogre!
[18:09] S
    Oh, shit!
[18:10] S
    My shield cannot stop something so big!
[18:16] Gu
    If I aim for the eye...
[18:26] Gu
    Serpico!
[18:27] Gu
    I lowered my guard...
[18:29] S
    The caster commanding it...
[18:32] ---
    is at sea?
[18:34] S
    No, it's too far away!
[18:40] P
    He's so strong.
[18:48] S
    Guts!
[18:49] S
    No, you can't fight more now!
[19:02] S
    He really is amazing.
[19:04] S
    I bet he can do it, right?
[19:07] S
    No.
[19:16] P
    Watch out!
[19:40] P
    Wait.
[19:41] P
    This time, I'll go get him!
[19:43] P
    Come on, damn it!
[20:07] P
    He used it...
[20:18] P
    He's so strong...
[20:20] S
    But his wounds will reopen!
[20:27] S
    I will bring him back!
[20:32] G
    The roar of the sea.
[20:42] G
    It's drawing me to the
    bottom of a deep sea.
[20:46] G
    A rumbling like an animal's roar.
[21:32] P
    Wow...
[21:34] Gu
    According to legends,
[21:36] Gu
    Berserkers were objects of
    fear not only to enemies,
[21:41] Gu
    but to their allies, as well.
[21:42] P
    Yeah, the way he's fighting...
[21:47] Gu
    That isn't all.
[21:48] Gu
    It's also because they slew
    all around them,
[21:52] ---
    whether friend or foe.
[22:02] S
    Stay away!
[22:02] Background
    Murder. Destroy. Shatter.
[22:04] S
    Stay away!
[22:06] S
    Stay away!
[22:10] ---
    Stay...
[22:30] P
    Y-You're kidding me...
[22:32] P
    Hey, are you done yet?
[22:38] Gu
    Everyone, get back!
[22:47] Gu
    What do we do?
[22:48] Gu
    I don't know.
[22:51] S
    Look.
[22:56] S
    Listen.
[22:58] G
    Light.
[23:01] G
    The water's surface.
[23:03] S
    Reach out your hand,
[23:04] S
    Guts!
[23:16] F
    Teacher!
[23:19] Gu
    Are you yourself again?
[23:21] Gu
    Are you all right?
[23:23] Gu
    Damn it!
[23:28] Gu
    In the end, it's just like he said.
[23:34] S
    If you keep it inside all the time,
[23:39] S
    you'll end up a mess of an adult.
[23:43] S
    Right?
[23:46] G
    You're right...

[00:09] Gu
    Whoa...
[00:11] Gu
    Look at all of 'em.
[00:13] Gu
    It's like a gathering of armies
    from around the Holy See.
[00:22] G
    This whole place feels on edge.
[00:26] G
    The battlefield smell that's so familiar...
SIGN    City of Humans
[00:41] Gu
    Hold it, girl.
[00:42] S
    Do you mean me?
[00:44] Gu
    What is that outfit?
[00:46] F
    Teacher?!
[00:48] Gu
    I forgot...
[00:50] Gu
    This is a fortress of the Holy See.
[00:53] Gu
    You cannot enter with
    such outrageous clothing!
[00:56] Gu
    Sir, this costume is for our troupe...
[00:59] Gu
    A traveling troupe?
[01:01] Gu
    But that doesn't excuse it!
[01:08] S
    Come, let us go.
[01:10] Gu
    Are you really sure that was a good idea?
[01:14] Gu
    She's obviously a witch.
[01:15] Gu
    Everyone is staring, right?
[01:17] Gu
    Come with me!
[01:18] S
    What?
[01:20] Gu
    That outfit's a bad idea.
[01:22] Gu
    You need to buy some normal clothes.
[01:25] S
    This is normal for me.
[01:27] Gu
    Why are you being so stubborn?
[01:32] Gi
    Schierke!
[01:36] Gu
    Sorry...
[01:38] S
    You're mean.
[01:39] Gu
    Who cares about your stupid hat?
[01:41] Gu
    It's your fault for not listening!
[01:47] Gu
    Idiot!
[01:47] Gu
    If you wander around in that stuff...
[01:50] Gu
    Jeez, what is that witch thinking?
[01:53] Gi
    Hey, Droppy! What the hell?!
[01:55] P
    It's "Dropey," Ivalera.
[01:58] Gi
    Those robes and hat were handmade by Flora.
[02:01] Gi
    Everything else she had burned!
[02:04] P
    Handmade?
[02:05] Gi
    They're all she has left!
[02:08] Gi
    You really are a monkey, making a girl cry!

    Schierke, wait!
[02:13] Gu
    Isidoro...
[02:16] G
    We'll find an inn.
[02:19] G
    Go bring her back.
[02:22] P
    I'll go with you.
[02:24] I
    Schierke!
[02:26] ---
    Hey, hello?
[02:29] I
    Where are you going?
[02:30] S
    Somewhere without anyone else.
[02:42] Gi
    What is that?
[02:44] Gi
    Wait, what the hell are you?
[03:06] Gi
    That is his body.
[03:10] Gi
    Schierke!
[03:11] S
    Move away for a second.
[03:17] Gu
    Schierke, what happened?
[03:21] Gu
    It hurts! It hurts!
[03:25] Gu
    Let me down... Let me down!
[03:29] Gu
    Release me...
[03:33] Gu
    Who are you?
[03:34] S
    What offense caused these
    people to be hanged here?
[03:38] Gu
    This isn't a place for kids.
[03:42] Gu
    Well, I guess it's okay...
[03:45] Gu
    These are Kushans.
[03:48] Gu
    Well, Kushans or not,
[03:50] Gu
    they were slaves that resided in Vritannis.
[03:53] S
    Slaves...
[03:54] Gu
    Vritannis is a merchant city.
[03:57] Gu
    To other nations in the Holy See,
    Kushans are religious enemies.
[04:03] Gu
    But here, they're more.
[04:04] Gu
    They're a product.
[04:06] Gu
    But with this huge war,
[04:09] Gu
    we can't keep doing that, anymore.
[04:12] Gu
    Since Vritannis has been honored
    by becoming a Holy See naval base.
[04:18] Gu
    So the city hanged them,
    as sacrifices to morale.
[04:23] S
    That's the reason?
[04:25] S
    People will take each other's
    lives for such a reason?
[04:30] S
    Displaying the bodies of the
    dead is a desecration.
[04:34] S
    It is not to be allowed.
[04:36] S
    Now I shall take them down to cremate.
[04:39] S
    You will help me.
[04:41] S
    Understood?
[05:01] Gi
    Hey, Schierke... Let's go back.
[05:04] Gi
    The sun's setting!
[05:06] Gi
    Come on...
[05:18] Gi
    You'd need more than a forest's
    worth of trees to build all these!
[05:23] S
    What are they trying to do,
[05:26] ---
    making something so large?
[05:29] S
    So many people and things,
[05:32] S
    gathered merely for bloodshed?
[05:36] S
    This is the world to which they belong.
[05:46] S
    Mistress, the voices of the spirits
    are very hard to hear here,
[05:51] S
    drowned out by human voices.
[05:55] Gu
    The wharf? You're sure?
[05:57] Gu
    Yeah.
[05:58] Gu
    You with her? Then, you should hurry.
[06:01] Gu
    That place isn't safe after dark.
[06:03] Gu
    Armed merchant ships, basically pirates,
[06:06] Gu
    weigh anchor there.
[06:07] Gu
    She could be kidnapped and
    sold to a foreign country...
[06:11] Gu
    Wait!
[06:13] Gu
    Are you looking for the witch?
[06:19] Gu
    I'm searching for someone.
[06:21] Gu
    If you know something about the
    witch, would you tell me?
[06:25] Gu
    Why is someone like you looking for a witch?
[06:28] Gu
    I know!
[06:29] Gu
    You plan to catch and hand
    her over to the government,
[06:32] Gu
    so you can get the glory!
[06:34] Gu
    Glory?
[06:35] Gu
    Don't try and fool me!
[06:36] Gu
    The way you're dressed, you're some
    noble's son, squiring for a knight!
[06:40] Gu
    You want glory, so you get
    promoted to full knighthood.
[06:44] ---
    That's so petty!
[06:45] ---
    Hey...
[06:46] Gu
    I'll stop you!
[06:49] Gu
    Wait! Listen to me!
[06:59] Gi
    Schierke, I'm hungry.
[07:02] Gi
    Let's go back.
[07:04] Gi
    Wow!
[07:07] Gi
    So witches are real, huh?
[07:17] Gi
    You're a witch, right?
[07:19] S
    Do I look like one?
[07:22] Gi
    Yep.
[07:24] Gi
    You have a staff and pointy hat.
[07:26] Gi
    And you talk to animals.
[07:28] Gi
    Also, there's her.
[07:30] Gi
    A girl accompanied by a fairy
    could only be a witch.
[07:34] Gi
    You can see me.
[07:36] S
    She is...
[07:38] Gi
    And then, your actions back there.
[07:41] Gi
    The Kushans that were hung up,
[07:43] Gi
    you released them, didn't you?
[07:46] S
    You were able to see that?
[07:48] Gi
    It was really cool,
[07:50] Gi
    the way you bossed those grown-ups around!
[07:52] Gi
    Was that magic?
[07:54] S
    It wasn't anything that special...
[07:57] Gi
    But don't witches live in the
    mountains or forests?
[08:01] Gi
    What are you doing here?
[08:03] S
    I'm on a journey.
[08:05] Gi
    Alone?
[08:06] Gi
    Or with her, just you two?
[08:09] S
    No.
[08:10] S
    Ever since we came to this
    city, a lot has happened.
[08:17] Gi
    It's pretty hard, isn't it?
[08:19] Gi
    Being different than others.
[08:22] S
    Are you from this city?
[08:24] Gi
    Nope.
[08:25] Gi
    A lot has happened to me, as well.
[08:28] Gi
    Let's say, hypothetically...
[08:30] Gi
    There was an ugly duckling.
[08:32] S
    Duckling?
[08:33] Gi
    Oh, I know that fairytale!
[08:35] Gi
    The ugly duckling was different from everyone, so she was left out.
[08:40] Gi
    Because the ugly duckling was...
[08:42] Gi
    A swan!
[08:43] Gi
    A black kite!
[08:45] Gi
    One day a murder of mean crows
    attacked the duck's nest.
[08:50] Gi
    The weak ducklings couldn't fly away,
[08:54] Gi
    and they were all captured.
[08:57] Gi
    The black kite was convinced she
    was just a weird duckling,
[09:00] Gi
    and didn't know how to fly.
[09:02] Gi
    So she was also captured.
[09:05] Gi
    But then, it was the king
    of birds who saved them.
[09:09] Gi
    The white hawk.
[09:11] S
    Hawk?
[09:12] Gi
    The white hawk brought
    dragons in his service,
[09:16] Gi
    and they quickly defeated the crows.
[09:20] Gi
    Black kites and hawks are
    related to one another.
[09:22] Gi
    For the first time, the young
    black kite met someone similar,
[09:25] Gi
    and she realized she could fly.
[09:28] Gi
    And then what happened?
[09:29] Gi
    The white hawk
[09:30] Gi
    defeated the crows that were
    rampaging through the country.
[09:34] Gi
    Not only were there dragons by its side,
    but there were ducklings,
[09:39] ---
    and even stray crows that had turned to good.
[09:43] Gi
    The black kite was special.
[09:45] Gi
    Only she could fly in the same
    sky as the white hawk.
[09:48] Gi
    Only she could feel the same wind.
[09:51] Gi
    What a romantic situation!
[09:55] Gi
    But then, one day...
[09:58] Gi
    The duckling princess, whom the
    king of crows had captured,
[10:01] Gi
    was saved by the white hawk.
[10:03] Gi
    The cowardly ducklings wanted to
    marry her to the white hawk,
[10:09] Gi
    to strengthen their bond
    to the powerful hawk.
[10:13] ---
    Oh, my!
[10:15] Gi
    The black kite disliked this.
[10:19] Gi
    So she tried to make herself feel
    better by looking at the sea.
[10:24] Gi
    And then? And then?
[10:25] Gi
    The black kite met a young
    owl from the forest,
[10:28] ---
    who was surrounded by gulls.
[10:31] Gi
    The black kite thought to herself
[10:34] ---
    that even though the young owl
    was surrounded by many gulls,
[10:37] Gi
    she looked a bit lonely...
[10:40] Gi
    "We're kind of similar.
[10:45] Gi
    I wonder if we can be friends," she thought.
[10:51] S
    The—
[10:53] ---
    The owl felt the same way...
[10:59] Gi
    Hey, do you have someone
    who understands you?
[11:03] S
    Everyone I travel with is normal,
[11:07] S
    so when it comes to witches...
[11:15] S
    They're in harmony.
[11:16] Gi
    It's love, isn't it?
[11:17] Gi
    It's love!
[11:18] S
    I-It isn't like that!
[11:20] S
    Just, as a grown-up, he's been
    watching out for me.
[11:24] S
    And so, I find myself letting him spoil me.
[11:32] Gu
    Stop right there, brats!
[11:35] Gi
    Who are they?
[11:36] Gi
    Slavers? Pirates?
[11:37] S
    Those are...
[11:40] Gu
    You won't get away!
[11:42] Gu
    You wanna make it hard, huh?
[11:44] Gu
    Stop crying!
[11:46] Gu
    There's no place to run, anyway!
[11:50] S
    Stop this at once.
[11:54] S
    Do not make me witness
    further ugliness today.
[12:04] Gu
    Girl, you think you're a witch
    or something, dressed like that?
[12:08] S
    I do.
[12:09] Gi
    And you are pirates, aren't you?
[12:11] Gi
    Pirates!
[12:12] Gi
    You plan to kidnap those kids and sell them!
[12:15] Gu
    These are Kushan kids,
    whose parents were hanged!
[12:18] Gu
    That's why we can't leave them in the city.
[12:24] Gi
    My, maybe this place deserves
    to be put to the torch.
[12:28] S
    To a witch such as I,
    city law and merchant logic mean nothing.
[12:33] Gi
    Girl, if you talk back to us, you'll join—
[12:38] Gi
    Huh?
[12:39] Gu
    Hey, what's wrong?
[12:40] Gu
    I... I can't move!
[12:43] Gi
    Amazing.
[12:44] Gi
    Magic? Was that magic?
[12:46] S
    J-Just a hypnotic suggestion!
[12:48] Gu
    What did you do, girl?!
[12:50] Gu
    If you don't let me move again, I'll beat—
[12:53] Gu
    What?
[12:56] Gu
    I knew this was going to happen...
[12:58] S
    Isidoro?
[13:00] Gi
    Is that the one?
[13:01] S
    Definitely not.
[13:02] Gu
    Hey, pirates!
[13:04] Gu
    Enough of your crimes!
[13:06] Gu
    Don't try and say you're gathering
    these kids for a picnic!
[13:09] Gu
    Pathetic!
[13:10] Gu
    You stupid brat!
[13:17] Gu
    I did that without thinking.
[13:24] Gu
    It's the first time I've cut someone down...
[13:28] Gu
    Now that we've seen our friend's blood...
[13:31] S
    Isidoro!
[13:32] Gu
    Girl, stay out of this,
[13:35] Gu
    unless you wanna get hurt.
[13:38] ---
    At this rate...
[13:40] Gu
    Stop. Don't use that.
[13:44] Gu
    Wait... Why are you so mad?
[13:47] Gi
    That isn't it.
[13:48] Gi
    He wants to conceal what you are.
[13:50] Gi
    Isn't that nice of him?
[13:52] Gi
    You can do it, monkey!
[13:53] S
    She can hear our telepathic conversation?
[14:03] Gi
    Wow! Wow!
[14:04] Gi
    He's fighting grown-ups!
[14:05] S
    But eventually, they'll catch him.
[14:11] Gu
    All the inns are full...
[14:13] Gu
    Guts?
[14:14] Gu
    Throw down your weapon,
    and we won't kill you.
[14:18] Gu
    We'll just beat you half to death and
    hang you from the mast for a day...
[14:26] Gu
    What's your problem?
    Butt in and you'll get hurt.
[14:30] Gi
    Hey, there.
[14:34] Gu
    Y-You're...
[14:36] Gu
    It seems you're helping my comrade.
[14:38] Gu
    I shall join you!
[14:40] Gu
    You wanna fight?
[14:47] Gu
    Wow...
[14:47] Gu
    He's...
[14:50] Gu
    He's slaughtering them without hesitation.
[15:05] Gu
    That's the problem with kids.
[15:09] Gu
    Around adults, they don't know their place.
[15:14] Gu
    Captain!
[15:16] Gi
    Definitely a pirate!
[15:17] Gu
    Listen up, kids.
[15:20] Gu
    The world of adults has stern rules.
[15:23] Gu
    And if you break them, you need
    to be punished a little.
[15:28] Gu
    I thought pirates had more spine!
[15:38] Gu
    Not bad...
[15:41] Gu
    The standard swordsmanship of a noble.
[15:43] Gu
    But...
[15:45] Gu
    Wait!
[15:47] Gu
    Take this.
[15:55] Gu
    You shouldn't underestimate
    grown-ups, little boy.
[15:58] Gu
    Now, how will you pay for all this mess?
[16:07] Gu
    Time for the main act...
[16:09] Gu
    The opener can get lost.
[16:16] Gu
    He's...
[16:18] Gu
    You can keep up with me on a ship?
[16:21] Gu
    Of course.
[16:22] Gu
    I roll around, whenever I use my sword.
[16:25] Gu
    I can fight in any stance!
[16:29] Gu
    Oh, no!
[16:32] Gu
    Your sword lacks the desire for bloodshed.
[16:36] Gu
    Now, enough games.
[16:39] Gu
    Men, tie them all up!
[16:41] Gu
    Yes, sir!
[16:43] Gu
    Puck Spark!
[16:52] Gu
    Now!
[16:58] Gu
    The gate's closing!
[17:00] Gu
    Even if they're children,
    I don't know how we took
[17:03] ---
    all these Kushans out of the
    city, with no problem.
[17:06] Gu
    What's going on?
[17:09] Gi
    That's...
[17:10] Gi
    a secret! Right?
[17:13] Gu
    Well? What will you do with the children?
[17:17] Gi
    Take them with us, of course.
[17:20] Gu
    You're being selfish again.
[17:21] Gi
    It's been settled.
[17:22] Gi
    This is my decision as a seer!
[17:25] S
    Um, will that be all right?
[17:28] Gi
    I don't want to ruin my fun memories.
[17:32] Gi
    And our boss isn't the kind of
    petty man to complain
[17:36] ---
    about something like this, right?
[17:38] Gi
    Right?
[17:40] Gu
    Fine. We'll take them.
[17:45] Gu
    Take it.
[17:46] Gu
    What? Don't be stupid.
[17:47] Gu
    I can't take a stolen sword!
[17:49] Gu
    Can you protect them unarmed?
[17:52] Gu
    You're the one who dropped
    your sword in the sea, right?
[17:56] Gu
    How lame! Think you can
    be a knight like that?
[17:58] Gu
    And you looked as stupid
    as a flipped-over frog!
[18:01] Gu
    And you staggered like a
    drunk on those boats!
[18:04] Gi
    Hey, witch girl...
[18:06] Gi
    Would you like to come with us?
[18:13] S
    With...
[18:18] S
    ...you?
[18:25] S
    If you feel that you have
    no place in this world,
[18:30] S
    we would welcome you.
[18:34] Gi
    What will you do?
[18:39] S
    I...
[18:45] S
    I...
[19:03] S
    Thank you, but...
[19:06] S
    I have a place to go home to.
[19:10] Gi
    I see...
[19:12] Gi
    That man,
[19:14] Gi
    he's your...
[19:16] Gi
    Tsk... Guess I got turned down.
[19:19] Gi
    Too bad.
[19:21] S
    I'm sorry.
[19:22] Gi
    Oh, right. I haven't gotten your name yet.
[19:25] Gi
    I'm Sonia.
[19:26] S
    I am Schierke.
[19:27] S
    Ivalera.
[19:29] Gu
    Whad's wong?
[19:31] Gu
    Your pwetty hace is all veat up...
[19:35] Gu
    You, too... I'd mistake you
    for a crushed meat bun.
[19:40] Gu
    Say fhat?!
[19:41] Gu
    Maybe I bweak awll your deeth?
[19:47] Gu
    Talk like a human being!
[19:50] Gu
    I'm Mule.
[19:51] Gu
    What's your name?
[19:52] Gu
    Ijidodo.
[19:54] Gu
    I'll remember your name, Ijidodo!
[19:57] Gu
    It's "Ijidodo"!
[19:59] Gu
    Schierke...
[20:00] Gu
    Get away from this city, as soon as you can.
[20:13] S
    What was that?
[20:17] Gi
    Let's meet again, forest owl!
[20:21] Gu
    Okay, wet's head vack.
    The gate will ve cwosing.
[20:24] Gu
    He says, "Okay, let's head back.
    The gate will be closing."
[20:30] Gu
    Um...
[20:32] Gu
    I'b swowwy boud your hat and cwothes...
[20:37] Gi
    Huh? I couldn't hear you!
[20:39] Gi
    Speak a human language.
[20:41] ---
    I'm sorry about your hat and clothes...
[20:45] S
    And I'm sorry for being stubborn.
[20:49] S
    Thank you for coming.
[20:53] P
    Not at all. We weren't able to help at all.
[20:58] Gu
    Okay, food time!
[21:09] Gu
    It hurts, just looking at you.
[21:14] Gu
    This place is filled with
    nasty sorts, isn't it?
[21:17] Gu
    Couldn't you find better lodgings?
[21:19] Gu
    It could not be helped.
[21:21] Gu
    The whole city is so full of soldiers,
[21:23] Gu
    we should be grateful we found any place.
[21:26] G
    Taverns are all the same.
[21:29] G
    Gambling, fighting, whores.
[21:31] Gu
    Come over here and pour me a drink, missy—
[21:33] Gu
    Listen, mister...
[21:36] G
    And drunks.
[21:38] Gu
    Keep your feet off the table when we eat.
[21:42] F
    Everyone, we're back.
[21:44] F
    Come on.
[21:45] S
    B-But...
[21:49] S
    Ta-dah!
[21:52] S
    The clothes make the witch, huh?
[21:55] F
    The tavern's owner
[21:56] F
    was nice enough to give us
    her daughter's old clothes.
[22:00] S
    It a little tight and hard to move in...
[22:03] S
    And I don't feel right without my staff.
[22:05] F
    It's only for while we stay in this city.
[22:08] Gu
    You look good.
[22:10] Gu
    Yeah, it's a good disguise.
[22:13] Gu
    Nobody would think you're
    actually a scary witch
[22:17] Gu
    who could flatten a village.
[22:20] Gu
    What?
[22:24] Gu
    What's going on? Three girls,
    somewhere like this?
[22:28] Gu
    I guess one of them's a kid.
[22:30] Gu
    She's so pretty!
[22:31] Gu
    Why not have a drink?
[22:34] F
    I refuse.
[22:37] gu
    Hey, you drunk—
[22:38] gu
    What is it, kid?
[22:39] gu
    You really think kids should
    be in a place like this—
[22:44] gu
    What the hell?
[22:47] G
    That's the price...
[22:50] ---
    For staining my comrade's new clothes.
[22:54] S
    Comrade...
[22:58] S
    Mistress, this city and the human world
[23:03] S
    are so very vulgar and foolish.
[23:08] Gu
    Girls...
[23:12] S
    It's ugly.
[23:14] G
    Not bad.
[23:16] S
    But, mistress...
[23:20] S
    Even with all that, I can smile!
[23:32] S
    If you would continue your journey,
[23:36] S
    you will see the Apostles again, soon.
[23:43] S
    And when that happens,
    their leader will most likely be
[23:48] S
    the hawk.
[23:49] ---
