**[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.

***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.*

Thank you.

That is the Hawk of Light.
The savior of the world.

**[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**
*I...*
**[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**
Lady Farnese...
**[22:14] Farnese**
Black Swordsman,
**[22:16] Farnese**
please let us accompany
you on your journey.

We will now continue our
search for the hawk.
**[00:16] Sonia**
*That's...*
**[00:34] Silat**
*The Hawk of Light!*
**[00:36] Silat**
*Impossible!*
**[00:37] Silat**
*Why is it here?*
**[00:42] General**
What the...
**[00:43] General**
Who do you—
**[00:45] General**
Huh?
**[00:58] Sub**
My lord!
**[01:00] Sub**
Don't just stand there, idiots!
**[01:03] Sub**
Kill him!
**[01:04] Sub**
Fire!
**[01:05] Silat**
Wait!
**[01:13] Army**
None of them hit him...
**[01:17] Army**
He avoided all of them?
**[01:18] Army**
But there were so many!
**[01:23] Sub**
Idiots! Quit gawking!
**[01:26] Sub**
Fire another volley!
**[01:30] Sub**
What the...
***SIGN*** Banner of the Flying Sword
**[03:09] Sub**
Are you one of his men?
**[03:11] Sub**
Kill him, too!
**[03:19] Army**
Who's that warrior?
**[03:20] Army**
He's a monster!
**[03:22] Sub**
Stand your ground... They are only two!
**[03:24] Sub**
Hurry and kill that one!
**[03:37] Locus**
My enemies, your pardon
for being on horseback.
**[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.
**[04:15] Sonia**
*It's him!*
**[04:19] Sonia**
*That is him!*
**[04:21] Army**
Hey, you!
**[04:22] Woman**
Hey, watch out!
**[04:24] Sonia**
*Griffith!*
**[04:27] Sonia**
*The wind whispered to me.*
**[04:30] Sonia**
* That now is when the world*

Stop them!
**[04:37] Sub**
Stop those two!
**[04:39] Tapasa**
My lord.
**[04:40] Silat**
Wait.
**[04:41] Silat**
There is no advantage to be had
by currying favor with this lot.
**[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!
**[23:30] Ser**
Lady Farnese, please keep
the fire going!
**[23:33] F**
I... I am ready!
**[23:35] F**
No, Casca!
**[23:37] F**
You cannot wander around!
**[23:40] G**
Here they come!
**[23:45] I**
Come at me, you ghouls!

**[00:02] F**
Please guide us.
**[00:05] I**
If you say enemies can
become friends overnight,
**[00:07] I**
maybe you should throw yourself
on the ground and apologize, eh?
**[00:10] I**
Can you manage that, you smug noble?
**[00:19] F**
This is all I can do now.
**[00:22] F**
I swear I shall make amends.
**[00:24] G**
Why are priests and nobles
so over the top?
**[00:29] G**
Do what you want.
**[00:30] F**
Th-Then...
**[00:32] I**
Well, that was quick.
**[00:34] G**
I don't need you to make
amends or apologies.
**[00:36] G**
I killed your guys, too.
It goes both ways.
**[00:40] G**
But no thanks to being your guide.
**[00:42] G**
Not my thing.
**[00:45] G**
I don't know what you want to
learn, but do what you like.
**[00:48] G**
Stay out of my way,
and I won't interfere.
**[00:51] F**
We are grateful.
**[00:53] G**
No need for that yet.
**[00:55] G**
Coming with us means you won't
be able to sleep at night.
**[01:02] P**
They're coming, Isidoro!
**[01:03] I**
I know!
**[01:04] Ser**
Lady Farnese, please keep
the fire going!
**[01:08] F**
I... I am ready!
**[01:10] F**
No, Casca!

You cannot wander around!

Here they come!
**[01:19] I**
Come at me, you ghouls!
***SIGN*** Forest of Demonic Beasts
**[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
your sword over your head?
**[03:16] G**
If you want to become a
sellsword, use your brains.
**[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
this domestic life thing.
**[03:33] Ser**
Lady Farnese, these are...
**[03:35] F**
Mushrooms.
**[03:36] F**
I found them earlier.
**[03:38] Ser**
They're poisonous.
**[03:39] Ser**
We can't eat them.
**[03:41] F**
R-Really?
**[03:43] I**
Hey! My holiday best!
**[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**
*It's... It's my fault!*
**[05:00] F**
Casca!
**[05:04] F**
*What should I do?*
**[05:06] F**
*I don't even know the way back.*
**[05:20] F**
Cas—
**[05:22] F**
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?
**[06:04] I**
Why is the babysitter getting lost?
**[06:12] F**
Serpico?
**[06:13] Ser**
Yes, my lady?
**[06:15] F**
I have caused you trouble.
**[06:19] F**
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.

This show contains scenes that some viewers may
find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.
**[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...

**[00:07] 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.
**[21:19] Sch**
Shield us in this circle.
**[21:22] Sch**
Light the flame to warm,
protect, and guard us.
**[21:25] Sch**
Ward us from all harm.
**[21:30] Sch**
I call upon thee, the four sacred kings,
to come forth and protect us.
**[21:47] Ser**
Lady Farnese!
**[22:05] Villagers**
The trolls are crumbling...
**[22:08] Villagers**
What is this light?
**[22:13] P**
His wound's healing!
**[22:15] P**
He'll live!
**[22:17] I**
*This is... her magic?*

**[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**
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!

**[00:41] Darkness**
Let go!
**[00:45] P**
The armor's changing!
***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.

This show contains scenes that some viewers may
find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.
**[00:02] S**
You are doing better,
**[00:05] S**
but you shouldn't push yourself.
**[00:07] G**
Yeah. I'm feeling a lot better.
**[00:08] G**
That looks good. What is it?
**[00:10] Gi**
Be grateful!
**[00:11] Gi**
Bouillabaisse-style hot pot.
**[00:13] Gu**
It'll shrivel up if you do it daily.
**[00:20] Gi**
This is pretty good, these crab
and shellfish corpses.
**[00:24] Gi**
It's "crabinalism"!
**[00:25] Gi**
So, where is your homeland
and what's it like?
**[00:29] Gi**
I will tell you! Elfhelm!
**[00:32] Gi**
A utopia that lies on the Western Sea.
**[00:35] Gi**
Flowers are always blooming, et cetera.
**[00:38] Gi**
El... Elf Hell?
**[00:42] Gi**
Not "hell"!
**[00:43] Gi**
Elfhelm.
**[00:44] Gi**
It's filled with beings like you, right?
**[00:47] Gi**
I have heard of it from my teacher.
**[00:51] Gi**
It is a legendary island to the
west, known as Skellig.
**[00:55] Gi**
Like the forest of the spirit tree,
it belongs to the interstice,
**[01:00] Gi**
so it isn't on any sea charts,
and normal people cannot reach it.
**[01:04] Gi**
In addition to the elves,
many mages are said to live there.
**[01:09] Gi**
I have always wanted to see it!
**[01:14] Gi**
Um, Schierke?
**[01:16] Gi**
I have a request.
**[01:20] Gi**
Would you teach me magic?
**[01:24] G**
How about that?
**[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!
**[02:11] Gi**
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] ---**
