**[00:05] Nar**
*The Clover Kingdom.*
**[00:07] Nar**
*In this kingdom where magic is everything,*
**[00:09] Nar**
*there is one boy who can't use magic.*
**[00:13] Nar**
*His name is Asta.*
**[00:16] Nar**
* With guts and hard work,*
* he made it into the Magic Knights,*
**[00:18] Nar**
* and he never gave up,*
* despite how much he got hurt.*
**[00:21] Nar**
* He continues to diligently*
* aim for the top!*
**[00:26] Nar**
*Even if you are a peasant,*
**[00:27] Nar**
*or even if you're poor...*
**[00:29] Nar**
*Anyone in this world can still shine!*
**[00:32] Nar**
*He's working hard to prove that,*
**[00:35] Nar**
*and to become the Wizard King!*
***SIGN*** Clues
**[02:11] Gordon**
Huh? My home?
**[02:15] Yami**
Jeez, you're scary.
**[02:18] Yami**
The Prickly Queen mentioned it,
but come to think of it,
**[02:22] Yami**
your family's famous for
curse magic, isn't it?
**[02:25] Yami**
Could you go ask them about forbidden magic?
**[02:28] Gordon**
Forbidden magic?
**[02:32] Yami**
Yeah.
**[02:34] Yami**
Forbidden magic uses power
**[02:36] Yami**
from another world to meddle with the
ways of this world or people's lives.
**[02:40] Yami**
And that other world is where the devils live.
**[02:44] Yami**
I was hoping we'd be able
to get some information.
**[02:48] Gordon**
If our investigation about the
devils doesn't get any further,
**[02:52] Gordon**
my best friend Asta...
**[02:56] Gordon**
I was going to try to go again,
even though I think I'll fail.
**[03:02] Gordon**
For Asta's sake!
**[03:07] Gordon**
*A distinguished family of curse mages...*
**[03:09] Gordon**
*Since cursing people was my family's trade,*
**[03:13] Gordon**
*I never made any friends.*
**[03:17] Gordon**
*On top of that, my family...*
**[03:20] Gordon**
* Even when Asta's arms were cursed*
* by a member of the Third Eye...*
**[03:25] Gordon**
* I asked them how we could*
* break the spell with a letter,*
**[03:27] Gordon**
*but they wouldn't tell me.*
**[03:30] Gordon**
*But things are different now.*
**[03:32] Gordon**
* Today, I have my friends with me,*
* so I feel more confident.*
**[03:38] Asta**
My arms are falling asleep!
**[03:41] Asta**
But I'm not done yet! My muscles are
screaming in joy, not in agony!
**[03:46] Gauche**
Shut up! The only one who gets
to ride behind me is Marie!
**[03:50] Gauche**
Just shut up and hang on!
**[03:52] Grey**
It's so embarrassing to meet
someone I don't know!
**[03:56] Gordon**
*My friends give me strength.*
**[03:58] Asta**
Guys! Thanks for doing this for me!
**[04:02] Gauche**
Tch. Why the hell do I have to do this?
**[04:05] (Flashback) Yami**
Looks like Noelle took off
to the royal capital,
**[04:08] (Flashback) Yami**
and since you all look so sleepy,
you guys can head out, too.
**[04:11] (Flashback) Yami**
You guys are pals, aren't ya?
**[04:13] (Flashback) Yami**
I'm definitely not going,
and I'll kill you if you refuse.
**[04:16] Gauche**
*Curse our captain for abusing his power.*
**[04:18] Asta**
So I heard your family's, like,
really special somehow
**[04:21] Asta**
when it comes to curse mages, Gordon.
**[04:24] Asta**
What the heck are curse mages, anyway?
**[04:28] Gordon**
They... are mages that made a trade out of
**[04:32] Gordon**
cursing and bringing misfortune upon others.
**[04:35] Gordon**
But I didn't want any part of that.
**[04:39] Gordon**
I wanted to be friends with
people, not to curse them.
**[04:43] Gordon**
That's why I pretty much ran away from home.
**[04:47] Asta**
I see.
**[04:49] Gauche**
You ran away?
**[04:50] Gauche**
Will you be able to get any
information from them, then?
**[04:53] Gauche**
Also, they're not gonna curse us, are they?
**[04:56] Grey**
Being cursed by someone I
don't know is so embarrassing!
**[05:01] Gauche**
The being cursed part doesn't bother you?!
**[05:04] Gordon**
It'll be okay... I think.
**[05:06] All**
You think?
**[05:18] All**
I wanna go home...
**[05:20] Gordon**
Let's go.
**[05:27] Gauche**
This is basically a haunted house.
**[05:29] Grey**
It's so embarrassing to meet
a ghost I don't know!
**[05:32] Gauche**
Get off of me! Damn it, Grey!
**[05:35] Asta**
I wonder what Gordon's family is like.
**[05:41] Gordon**
It's me. I'm home.
**[05:53] Jonna**
Welcome home, Gordon.
**[05:55] Roxanne**
Big Brother...
**[05:57] Nathan**
So you decided to come home after all.
**[06:01] All**
*They all have the same face!*
**[06:04] Gordon**
Let me introduce you.
***SIGN*** Father
Nathan
**[06:06] Gordon**
First, this is my dad, Nathan.
***SIGN*** Mother
Jonna
**[06:09] Gordon**
This is my mom, Jonna.
***SIGN*** Grandmother
Nilenia
**[06:11] Gordon**
My grandmother, Nilenia.
***SIGN*** Little Sister
Roxanne
**[06:13] Gordon**
My little sister, Roxanne.
**[06:15] Gordon**
And...
**[06:17] Asta**
Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[06:19] Gordon**
This is our dog, Nunnally.
**[06:21] Both**
*Even their dog looks like them...*
**[06:23] Jonna**
What are you doing to our guest?!
**[06:24] Roxanne**
Nunnally, stop!
**[06:26] Gauche**
Whoa! Don't all of you come over here at once!
**[06:31] Gordon**
Are you all right, Asta?
**[06:33] Asta**
Yeah...
**[06:34] Asta**
Oh, sorry for the late introduction. I'm Asta.
**[06:38] Asta**
And this is Gauche and Grey.
**[06:42] Gordon**
They're my friends from the Black Bulls
that I mentioned in my letter.
**[06:46] Nathan**
I see. Well, now that you're all here...
**[06:50] Jonna**
Why don't you join us for dinner?
**[06:53] Gauche**
* Weren't you two strangers*
* before you got married?*
**[06:56] Gauche**
*Why do you look so much alike?!*
**[06:58] Nathan**
Gordon, you haven't had your
mother's cooking for a while.
**[07:01] Nathan**
It must taste exquisite.
**[07:03] Nathan**
The eyeballs of the creepy-crawly
snake are superb.
**[07:06] Jonna**
I recommend the raw paralyzing frog, myself.
**[07:09] Nilenia**
Bread... Where's the bread?
**[07:12] Roxanne**
Grandma, it's in your hands.
**[07:15] Nilenia**
Oh, my. And it was on the
plate just a moment ago...
**[07:20] Nilenia**
Where did the bread go?
**[07:21] Roxanne**
It's in your mouth.
**[07:24] Gordon**
Dad, I want to talk to you about something.
**[07:26] Nathan**
I see. You must want seconds.
**[07:28] Gordon**
No, Dad...
**[07:29] Grey**
* Th-They're muttering over here*
* and muttering over there...*
**[07:32] Grey**
*I have no idea what any of them are saying.*
**[07:35] Gauche**
*This is so awkward. What the hell is this?*
**[07:37] Gauche**
*And it's not easy to make me feel awkward.*
**[07:41] Gauche**
Say something, damn it.
**[07:43] Gauche**
Aren't we supposed to ask
about forbidden magic?
**[07:45] Grey**
I-I can't...
**[07:48] Grey**
Gordon, please stop shaking and ask!
**[07:54] Gauche**
Hey, that's the grandma!
**[07:55] Asta**
Wow, this stuff looks really gross,
but it's super yummy!
**[08:02] Asta**
It's so good!
**[08:03] Gauche**
* Why the hell are you having*
* fun all by yourself?*
**[08:08] Grey**
H-Huh?
**[08:10] Roxanne**
I think we can become the best of friends.
**[08:13] Grey**
Y-You want to give me something?
**[08:22] Grey**
*What is this?!*
**[08:26] Nilenia**
Is that you, Nathan? You've grown so big...
**[08:30] Nilenia**
You have to protect the House of Agrippa.
**[08:34] Gauche**
*Old lady, seriously...*
**[08:36] Jonna**
Oh, dear, Mother...
Perhaps it's time for your nap.
**[08:40] Nilenia**
I'm counting on Nathan.
**[08:44] Nilenia**
For the sake of our ancestor who made
the contract... the curse of Megicula...
**[08:50] Jonna**
Yes, Mother.
**[08:51] Asta**
Megi...?
**[08:55] Roxanne**
Thank you for the meal.
**[09:02] Grey**
*I-It suddenly got really quiet...*
**[09:08] Gauche**
*All right!*
**[09:09] Asta**
*Gordon! It's the perfect opportunity to ask!*
**[09:20] Gordon**
Dad, I need to talk to you about something.
**[09:25] Gordon**
I basically abandoned the family,
so I probably have no right to ask...
**[09:30] Gordon**
But I have a friend that I want
to save, no matter what.
**[09:37] Gordon**
So could you tell me about
forbidden magic curses and devils,
**[09:40] Gordon**
for the sake of that friend?
**[09:49] Nathan**
Sure.
**[09:51] All**
*That was easy.*
**[10:00] Nathan**
I'll show you hex research
worthy of a family
**[10:05] Nathan**
with centuries of expertise
as curse mages,
**[10:08] Nathan**
as well as secret arts that deal
with poison, plague, and death.
**[10:15] Nathan**
Are you ready?
**[10:30] Gauche**
What the hell is this?
**[10:35] Nathan**
Beautiful, isn't it?
**[10:37] Nathan**
This is my curse research workshop.
**[10:39] Nathan**
I'm researching every kind of pain there is.
**[10:43] Gordon**
Dad... So you really were
researching such evil things.
**[10:47] Nathan**
Gordon... I've been earnestly
waiting for your return.
**[10:54] Nathan**
Your poison magic is a talent that makes
you worthy of inheriting my research.
**[11:00] Gordon**
I only came here to ask about
devil-related curses for Asta.
**[11:05] Gordon**
I'm not coming home to stay!
**[11:08] Nathan**
Oh, don't be like that.
**[11:10] Nathan**
Death by curses, poisons, drugs...
**[11:14] Nathan**
If you want to learn those secrets,
I'll teach you all of them.
**[11:18] Gordon**
What do you think a person's life is?
**[11:20] Nathan**
Humans die so quickly.
**[11:22] Nathan**
That includes your friends.
Life is so fleeting.
**[11:36] Nathan**
Black Oil Creation Magic:
Curse-Filled Nails.
**[11:40] ---**
Guys!
**[11:48] All**
Asta!
**[11:52] Asta**
Wait, I'm fine?
**[11:58] Nathan**
Hm... 36.5 degrees.
**[12:01] Nathan**
Your temperature is normal.
**[12:03] Nathan**
I don't see any physical abnormalities,
**[12:06] Nathan**
though you really don't have magic.
**[12:09] Gordon**
Dad, what are you...
**[12:13] Nathan**
Well? I rechanneled what I know about
poisons that usually harm people,
**[12:16] Nathan**
as well as our family's hereditary
expertise in curse killing,
**[12:19] Nathan**
into health management and medical treatment.
**[12:23] Nathan**
That being said, this endeavor
just started with my generation,
**[12:27] Nathan**
so I'm only able to cure normal diseases.
**[12:30] Nathan**
I wasn't able to help when
your arms were afflicted
**[12:33] Nathan**
with an ancient curse, but...
**[12:36] Nathan**
What's the matter?
**[12:37] Asta**
So, uh... You rechanneled your
knowledge about killing with curses
**[12:41] Asta**
toward health management
and medical treatment...
**[12:44] Asta**
So, wait, does that make you a recovery mage?
**[12:48] Nathan**
Yes, starting with my generation, at least.
**[12:52] Gordon**
I had no idea...
**[12:55] Gordon**
I totally thought you were
cursing people to death.
**[12:58] Gauche**
You people need to learn how to communicate!
**[13:00] Gauche**
You're going to give people the
wrong idea with those things!
**[13:04] Grey**
You really can't judge a book by its cover!
**[13:07] Gordon**
Dad, does that mean you're
going to help us out?
**[13:11] Nathan**
But of course.
**[13:13] Nathan**
What did you want to know about
devils and forbidden magic?
**[13:17] Nathan**
Let's hear the details first.
**[13:21] Asta**
Yes, sir!
**[13:36] Dorothy**
Okay. Now I've sent most of the
large debris into my dreams.
**[13:43] Man**
In mere moments!
**[13:45] Man**
That's the Captain of the
Coral Peacocks for you!
**[13:47] Lady**
Thank you so much, Lady Dorothy.
**[13:50] Noelle**
I'm glad you're still awake.
**[13:55] Dorothy**
Well, well...
**[13:57] Dorothy**
If it isn't the littlest sister
of the House of Silva.
**[14:00] Dorothy**
Did you need something?
**[14:02] Noelle**
I want to know the truth
behind my mother's death.
**[14:10] Dorothy**
Did you hear something from Nozel?
**[14:12] Noelle**
Yes. When we went to see
Solid and Nebra yesterday...
**[14:21] (Flashback) Noelle**
Wh-What did you just say, Nozel?
**[14:24] (Flashback) Noelle**
What do you mean, Mother didn't
die because she gave birth to me?
**[14:28] (Flashback) Nozel**
When she was pregnant with you,
**[14:30] (Flashback) Nozel**
Mother was already haunted by a
death that she could not escape.
**[14:36] (Flashback) Nozel**
It was not an injury or an illness.
**[14:39] (Flashback) Nozel**
It was a death that should
not happen in this world.
**[14:44] (Flashback) Noelle**
A death that should not happen in this world?
**[14:47] (Flashback) Noelle**
But that sounds like the work of
the devils we're currently investi—
**[14:51] (Flashback) Nozel**
Say any more, and your life
will be in danger, too.
**[14:58] (Flashback) Nozel**
If you still have the courage
to face the truth knowing that,
**[15:03] (Flashback) Nozel**
then go speak with Captain Dorothy Unsworth
of the Coral Peacocks.
**[15:11] Noelle**
Tell me. Why did my mother have to die?
**[15:15] Dorothy**
Sure thing! I could never
say no to a cute girl!
**[15:20] Noelle**
*She's so easy.*
**[15:21] Dorothy**
Well, I'm leaving the rest to you guys, then.
**[15:23] Squad**
Yes, Captain Dorothy!
**[15:25] Guy**
Then again, it's not like
we have anything to do.
**[15:27] Guy**
Captain Dorothy's amazing
when she's actually awake!
**[15:30] Noelle**
Um... Did my mother's death involve a devil?
**[15:34] Dorothy**
Shh...
**[15:35] Dorothy**
Didn't Nozel tell you?
**[15:38] Dorothy**
You shouldn't speak of that.
**[15:41] Dorothy**
You'll get cursed.
**[15:46] Dorothy**
At least, in this world.
**[15:54] Noelle**
Huh?
**[15:59] Noelle**
Where am I?
**[16:01] Dorothy**
Welcome!
**[16:03] Dorothy**
To Dream Magic: Glamour World!
**[16:06] Dorothy**
This is a world of dreams.
**[16:08] Dorothy**
A world separated from the outside world.
Everything here is under my control.
**[16:15] Dorothy**
Here, have some tea.
**[16:22] Dorothy**
Usually, I trap bad people
in here and punish them,
**[16:26] Dorothy**
or I transport buildings or
injured people in here, like today.
**[16:31] Noelle**
*What in the world is this large-scale spell?*
**[16:34] Noelle**
*So this is Glamour World?*
**[16:37] Noelle**
* Everything's under her control?*
* But that's crazy.*
**[16:41] Noelle**
*This tea is good.*
**[16:42] Asta**
Noelle!
**[16:44] Asta**
Heya.
**[16:45] Noelle**
Asta! What are you doing here?
**[16:48] Asta**
More importantly... Hup!
**[16:52] Asta**
You sure are cute today, Noelle.
**[16:55] Noelle**
Wait, wha—
**[16:56] Asta**
I just want to keep staring
at how cute you are!
**[16:59] Noelle**
W-Wait, no! Th-This isn't...
**[17:01] Dorothy**
That's the boy I created from your thoughts.
**[17:05] Asta**
Yup! You think about me all the time!
**[17:09] Noelle**
What?! I absolutely do not!
**[17:13] Asta**
Oh, no!
**[17:16] Dorothy**
Oh, dearie me. You did also come
here for his sake, didn't you?
**[17:20] Noelle**
Not at all! Not even a little!
**[17:24] Dorothy**
But just so you know, this is the perfect
place to have secret conversations.
**[17:28] Noelle**
Secret? You mean...
**[17:31] Nozel**
It's the perfect place to talk about Mother.
**[17:35] Noelle**
Now it's Nozel?
**[17:37] Dorothy**
Though this is a Nozel that I thought up.
**[17:42] Dorothy**
You came to visit me after
talking to the real him, right?
**[17:46] Dorothy**
About the thing he hasn't
told any of his siblings.
**[17:50] Dorothy**
Your mother, Acier Silva, lost her
life due to a devil's curse.
**[17:58] Noelle**
My mother... But why didn't Nozel tell anyone?
**[18:02] Dorothy**
Because those who speak of
it will share the same fate.
**[18:06] Dorothy**
That's the nature of the curse
that befell your mother.
**[18:12] Dorothy**
That's why he didn't tell
you or your siblings,
**[18:16] Dorothy**
and why I told him to come to me in
this world, because he can only talk
**[18:19] Dorothy**
about this curse in a world that's
separated from the outside world.
**[18:23] Nozel**
I'm sorry it took me so long
to tell you this, Noelle.
**[18:29] Nozel**
I didn't want to put you in danger.
**[18:32] Nozel**
Ah, Noelle...
**[18:34] Noelle**
Nozel?
**[18:36] Nozel**
Ah, Noelle!
**[18:37] Nozel**
Noelle!
**[18:39] Nozel**
My precious little Noelle!
**[18:41] Nozel**
I love you so, so much that I just
don't know what to do with myself!
**[18:46] Nozel**
Noelle, Noelle, Noe—
**[18:52] Noelle**
Nozel!
**[18:53] Noelle**
Hey! Quit messing around with Nozel!
**[18:56] Dorothy**
Aw, but that's how Nozel always seems to me!
**[19:04] Nozel**
What in the world was that chill just now?
**[19:08] Dorothy**
Well, now that Nozel's gone
flying away, let's get back on topic.
**[19:14] Dorothy**
The devils that live in the other world
**[19:15] Dorothy**
don't appear in our world unless
there's been some kind of anomaly.
**[19:21] Dorothy**
Mages can use forbidden magic,
contract them by paying a price
**[19:24] Dorothy**
of some sort, and use their power
in a limited way, but that's it.
**[19:28] Dorothy**
Or that was supposed to be the case,
**[19:30] Dorothy**
but now, their shadow is
wriggling around in our world.
**[19:36] Dorothy**
The devil's name is Megicula.
**[19:39] Noelle**
* Megicula... That's the*
* devil who killed my mother!*
**[19:42] Noelle**
*And the key to saving Asta!*
**[19:46] Nathan**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[19:49] Nathan**
After hearing what you said yesterday,
**[19:51] Nathan**
I looked into what our ancestors had
to say about magic that collects curses.
**[19:57] Nathan**
Investigating curses... Our magic
is basically made for that.
**[20:04] Nathan**
Black Oil Creation Magic:
Curse Candle Ritual Disk.
**[20:16] Grey**
Is this...
**[20:17] Gauche**
The Clover Kingdom?
**[20:19] Asta**
Holy crap!
**[20:21] Nathan**
The flames are curses.
**[20:23] Nathan**
Flame intensity shows depth and viciousness.
**[20:25] Nathan**
This is a map of the sickness
eroding our kingdom.
**[20:29] Grey**
That flame is insanely fierce! Huh?
**[20:33] Gauche**
That's our hideout!
**[20:34] Asta**
Wait... Then there's someone
in the Black Bulls who's cursed?
**[20:39] Gauche**
The only one in our squad
who's not normal is...
**[20:42] Grey**
L-Let's see... All Luck ever
thinks about is fighting,
**[20:46] Grey**
Finral's always thinking about girls...
**[20:50] Grey**
And all Vanessa ever does is drink.
**[20:53] Gordon**
Captain Yami always takes an extremely
long time in the bathroom.
**[20:56] Gauche**
So basically...
**[20:57] All**
*None of them are normal.*
**[20:59] Asta**
Wait, wait, wait! What kind of curse
makes you stay in the bathroom forever?
**[21:03] Asta**
And if we're gonna get into it, everyone
here is pretty undoubtedly unique, too!
**[21:08] All**
What?
**[21:09] Grey**
B-Being called unique is too embarrassing!
**[21:12] Grey**
Huh? Bone!
**[21:14] Gordon**
But I'm completely normal.
**[21:15] Gauche**
At any rate,
**[21:16] Gauche**
you're the last one I want to hear
that from, you zero-magic meathead!
**[21:23] Asta**
Oh, speaking of magic,
**[21:25] Asta**
maybe this is reacting to Henry.
**[21:28] Gauche**
Oh, yeah. I guess his condition that
sucks away everyone else's mana
**[21:32] Gauche**
could definitely be a curse.
**[21:33] Gordon**
Yeah, he's cursed.
**[21:35] Grey**
Indeed, he is.
**[21:37] Nathan**
There's a huge flame in
the royal capital, as well.
**[21:40] Nathan**
I can't tell who exactly is cursed,
**[21:44] Nathan**
but if you include the smaller
flames, that's quite a few.
**[21:48] Gauche**
Can't we get a look at a bigger area?
**[21:50] Nathan**
If we go too far out, the accuracy falls.
**[21:56] Gauche**
That's...
**[21:57] Grey**
The Heart Kingdom...
**[21:59] Gordon**
And there's a very big flame coming from there.
**[22:03] Asta**
Maybe there's a clue about the devil there!
**[23:39] Gordon**
You're my dad, Nathan.
**[23:41] Gordon**
We found some clues
on devils because of you.
**[23:43] Gordon**
Thanks, Dad-Who's-Also-Nathan!
**[23:45] Gordon**
My best friends are really happy, too!
