[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!
[00:44] Marx
    Lord Julius...
[00:46] Marx
    I told you that you're not allowed
    to go wandering off for a while.
[00:49] Julius
    I'm surprised you knew I'd come through here.
[00:52] Marx
    Do you realize how many
    years I have served you?
[00:55] Marx
    Now please return to the office and
    take care of that pile of documents.
[00:59] Julius
    Oh, I'm done with the ones for today, though.
[01:02] Marx
    What?
[01:03] Julius
    Going through those is the best way
    to find out what's going on out here.
[01:07] Julius
    But nothing beats coming out
    here and seeing it for myself,
[01:10] Julius
    so I'm off to wander around.
[01:11] Marx
    Please wait.
[01:13] Marx
    I understand how you feel,
[01:16] Marx
    but with the threats of the Spade Kingdom and the devil looming over us,
[01:19] Marx
    if something were to happen...
[01:21] Julius
    True. I've lost most of my mana and magic,
    so there isn't much I can do right now.
[01:27] Julius
    In that case, I have some
    favors to ask of you, Marx.
[01:30] Julius
    First...
SIGN    A Favor for Julius
[03:05] Noelle
    Here I go, Asta!
[03:07] Asta
    Got it!
[03:08] Noelle
    Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Waterball.
[03:13] Asta
    Come on! You can do better than that!
[03:16] Asta
    Noelle! Hit me with all you've got!
[03:18] Asta
    You don't have to go easy on me
    just because we're teammates!
[03:21] Noelle
    Fine. Don't come crying to me later.
[03:24] Noelle
    Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar!
[03:40] (Flashback) Loropechika
    I'd like you to get stronger and
    fight alongside us in six months.
[03:45] Asta
    Not yet... This isn't nearly enough!
[03:55] Sally
    Aw, you stopped it.
[03:58] Asta
    You're...
SIGN    Sally
[04:00] Asta
    Sally?!
[04:01] Sally
    Heya, Asta! How have you been?
[04:04] Asta
    What are you doing here?
[04:05] Noelle
    Wait, did you escape?
[04:07] Sally
    Nah, the white mushroom head brought me.
[04:11] Marx
    Who are you calling a white mushroom head?
[04:13] Asta
    Hey... You're the Wizard King's attendant and...
[04:16] Asta
    Uh, who are you?
SIGN    Magic Item Research Lab Specially-Appointed Researcher
    Makusa North
[04:19] Makusa
    I'm Makusa from the Magic Item Research Lab.
[04:23] Noelle
    Huh?
[04:24] Asta
    Creating magic items?
[04:26] Makusa
    Yes! Lord Julius saw potential in
    Sally's knowledge of magical science
[04:30] Makusa
    and asked her to create a new magic
    item to help with the upcoming battle.
[04:34] Marx
    I was against this, but...
[04:37] Sally
    So, like, I need a bunch of data to make one,
[04:40] Sally
    so I decided to experiment on you guys.
[04:43] Noelle
    Like we'd ever agree to that!
[04:44] Noelle
    You may have turned over a new leaf,
     but who knows what you'll do?
[04:49] Asta
    You got it!
[04:51] Noelle
    W-Wait, what are you talking about?!
[04:54] Asta
    Do you remember that I promised
[04:56] Asta
    you could do whatever you wanted with
    my body once the battle was over?
[05:01] Sally
    Well, I'm glad you remember that, too, Asta.
[05:03] Asta
    Just remember! Nothing that
    hurts super bad, okay?
[05:06] Noelle
    Is that really the problem here, Stupidsta?
    What if she tries to dissect you?
[05:11] Makusa
    D-Dissect? She couldn't possibly...
[05:14] Makusa
    If so, we'll have to call off
    this experiment right away.
[05:18] Sally
    Then let's get started!
[05:21] Sally
    Or so I'd like to say... but I think
     I'll save you for last, Asta.
[05:27] Sally
    The thing I'm trying to make is supposed to
    increase one's mana, and you don't have any.
[05:33] Sally
    Maybe I'll experiment on you first!
[05:37] Noelle
    A-Again, I want no part of this.
[05:39] Noelle
    I'm royalty, and even if I wasn't,
    there's no way I'd agree to this!
[05:42] Marx
    By the way, where are the other Black Bulls?
[05:45] Asta
    Oh, they're all either out
    training or on missions.
[05:48] Asta
    They ones out training should
    be back any time now.
[05:49] All
    Gah.
[05:51] Asta
    Hey, how long have you guys been there?
[05:52] Finral
    Right. I just remembered
    I need to do something.
[05:54] Vanessa
    Restrain yourself, me...
[05:56] Magna
    Well, see ya!
[05:57] Sally
    Woohoo! So many test subjects!
[06:00] Asta
    Hey!
[06:01] Marx
    Stop at once!
[06:02] Marx
    You are not allowed to conduct any
    experiments without Makusa's or my supervision!
[06:06] Sally
    Hey, look! It's the Wizard King!
[06:07] All
    Huh?!
[06:08] Sally
    There!
[06:11] Marx
    Sally!
[06:13] Marx
    Asta, Noelle! Please don't worry
    about us! Just go after Sally!
[06:17] Asta
    Got it!
[06:24] Magna
    This is probably far enough.
[06:27] Magna
    Like hell I'm gonna let that
    crazy chick experiment on me.
[06:32] Magna
    L-Let go of me! I'll kill you!
[06:35] Sally
    Aw... But when the magic item's done,
[06:38] Sally
    your magic's gonna get explosively stronger,
     so help me out, Funglasquent.
[06:42] Magna
    Who the hell are you calling a mohawked
    virgin delinquent in glasses?!
[06:46] Sally
    Since you use flame magic, Glasquent...
[06:48] Magna
    Stop making it even shorter, damn it!
[06:50] Sally
    The dark magic item equation will be this...
[06:53] Sally
    And then the mana exponent
    will end up like that...
[06:56] Sally
    This is the experimental liquid I'll use!
[06:58] Sally
    Now I'll just use my Sticky Salamander
    instead of the magic item and...
[07:02] Sally
    Inject!
[07:09] Magna
    Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What the hell?!
[07:11] Manga
    There's an insane amount of
    flame mana flowing out from me.
[07:14] Sally
    I know, right? Amazing, isn't it?
[07:18] Magna
    Huh? H-Hey, hang on a sec!
    There's too much flowing out... I'm gonna...
[07:24] Magna
    e-explode...
[07:27] Sally
    Huh? Maybe the dark magic item
    equation is still incomplete.
[07:31] Sally
    And maybe the experimental
    liquid's too potent.
[07:34] Sally
    But I got some data, so on to the next one!
[07:40] Sally
    Don't worry! I won't dissect you!
[07:43] Grey
    Transformation Magic—
[07:44] Gauche
    Hold it! Now's not a good time!
[07:46] Grey
    Huh? But why?
[07:48] Grey
    Wait, that's...
[07:49] Grey
    Marie?!
[07:51] Gauche
    No one's laying a finger on my angel!
[07:53] Grey
    B-But that's not the real Marie!
[07:56] Grey
    And she's all sticky!
[07:57] Gauche
    Even if she's all sticky,
    Marie is still Marie!
[08:00] Sally
    You guys use combo magic, so it might
    be fun to experiment on you both at once!
[08:06] Grey
    The two of us together?! How embarrassing!
[08:08] Gauche
    Marie!
[08:14] Vanessa
    Y-You can't! You said you were
    going to restrain yourself!
[08:17] Vanessa
    But this is an insanely rare
    vintage I may never see again.
[08:20] Finral
    Let's go, Vanessa. I'm telling you,
     this is definitely a trap.
[08:23] Sally
    Experiment! Experiment!
[08:29] Charmy
    A bewitching trail of noms.
    Could this be the path to heaven?
[08:38] Sally
    Welcome!
[08:40] Vanessa
    Restrain yourself... Restrain yourself...
[08:42] Finral
    E-Explode...
[08:44] Noelle
    Finral! Vanessa!
[08:46] Asta
    Are you guys okay?!
[08:48] Vanessa
    Huh? Did something happen?
[08:52] Noelle
    Looks like we got here too late.
[08:54] Asta
    We need to stop Sally, quick!
[09:01] Charmy
    H-Heaven...
[09:03] Sally
    Hm... So far, none of these
    experiments are going as planned.
[09:08] Sally
    I still need more data.
[09:10] Asta
    Hold it, Sally!
[09:13] Noelle
    Charmy, are you okay?
[09:16] Sally
    What's this? Asta, you're supposed to be last.
[09:19] Sally
    What, you couldn't wait any longer?
[09:22] Asta
    Hngh!
[09:23] Asta
    I'll never go back on my word!
[09:25] Asta
    You can do whatever you want with my body,
    just stop messing with everyone else!
[09:29] Noelle
    You're still going on about that, Stupidsta?!
     Maybe you won't just end up in a daze!
[09:33] Asta
    Yeah, but the only reason we
    made it to the royal capital is
[09:36] Asta
    because Sally and the others showed up.
[09:38] Asta
    That's how we protected everyone!
[09:40] Asta
    So I'm going to keep my promise!
[09:44] Sally
    Good point. Keeping your promises is important!
[09:49] Asta
    Don't forget the anesthesia!
[09:52] Sally
    Oh, don't worry. This won't hurt one bit!
[09:55] Sally
    Here I come!
[09:57] Noelle
    Asta!
[10:03] Sally
    All mine!
[10:04] Sally
    I'll have to culture it when I get back!
[10:06] Asta
    Wait. You just needed my hair?
[10:10] Sally
    Well, remember what you said, Asta?
[10:14] Sally
    You said I could experiment all I wanted
     as long as I didn't harm anyone.
[10:19] Sally
    Oh, yeah. You said I couldn't
    bother anyone, either.
[10:24] Sally
    Don't worry. They'll all be back to normal soon.
[10:26] Sally
    Their magic just got too powerful for
    a moment, so it sorta knocked them out.
[10:31] Asta
    Sally! I guess you remembered
    our promise, too!
[10:35] Sally
    Aw, but Asta,
[10:37] Sally
    your hair's not going to be enough,
    so could I have some nail clippings, too?
[10:42] Asta
    Of course!
[10:43] Noelle
    Wh-Why are you touching him like that?
[10:46] Sally
    Actually, that's not quite enough, either,
    so could I have some of your blood?
[10:50] Sally
    While we're at it, maybe your heart,
    your lungs, and your eyeballs?
[10:54] Noelle
    You most certainly can't!
[10:56] Asta
    Anyway, just make sure this research
    will help everyone out, okay?
[11:04] Finral
    Ugh... That was awful.
[11:07] Magna
    Why, you little...
[11:09] Charmy
    Go to hell!
[11:11] Asta
    Now, now, guys. You're all better now.
[11:15] Marx
    As for the results of this experiment...
[11:17] Makusa
    I can't understand a single thing here,
     but it sure is interesting!
[11:21] Marx
    Makusa will take this information back
    to the capital and inspect it carefully.
[11:24] Marx
    The magic item will be created after that.
[11:26] Asta
    Do your best making it,
    Sally and researcher guy!
[11:30] Sally
    Okay!
[11:31] Makusa
    We will!
[11:32] Finral
    Well, we ended up being guinea pigs,
    so I'm hoping the data gets put to good use.
[11:37] Charmy and Grey
    Yeah!
[11:38] Magna
    Don't you dare slack off!
[11:40] Gauche
    I'll kill you if you mess it up!
[11:44] Noelle
    What are you waiting for, Finral?
    Use your spatial magic already.
[11:48] Finral
    R-Right...
[11:49] Finral
    I do still have seniority here...
[11:51] Marx
    Let's go, Sally.
[11:53] Sally
    Sure thing!
[11:57] Sally
    "I prefer doing research that helps people out."
[12:01] Asta
    Sally! See ya later!
[12:05] Sally
    That might actually be true now!
[12:19] Marx
    We're almost to Arandom Village.
[12:22] Fuegoleon
    To think that the two of us
    would end up on a mission
[12:25] Fuegoleon
    together despite being in separate squads.
[12:28] Nozel
    This isn't a field trip.
[12:30] Nozel
    I will find anyone who threatens
    our kingdom and strike them down.
[12:34] Marx
    What in the world happened in this village?
[12:40] (Flashback) Marx
    Lord Julius,
[12:41] (Flashback) Marx
    I've brought the captains of the Crimson
    Lion Kings and the Silver Eagles.
[12:44] (Flashback) Julius
    Thanks! Sorry to summon you
    both here when you're so busy.
[12:48] (Flashback) Nozel
    It's fine.
[12:49] (Flashback) Fuegoleon
    What did you need, sir?
[12:51] (Flashback) Julius
    Have you two ever heard
    of a village called Arandom?
SIGN    Noble Realm
SIGN    Common Realm
[12:55] (Flashback) Julius
    A while back when I was wande—
SIGN    Forsaken Realm
[12:57] (Flashback) Julius
    When I was investigating
    various parts of the kingdom,
[13:00] (Flashback) Julius
    it was a small village I visited
    in the Forsaken Realm.
[13:02] (Flashback) Julius
    According to some reports, bandits have
    shown up around that village lately.
[13:07] (Flashback) Nozel
    Then we should send a team
    to deal with them at once.
[13:09] (Flashback) Julius
    No, that probably won't be enough.
[13:13] (Flashback) Julius
    I have a feeling there's something rather
    unfavorable going on in this kingdom.
[13:19] Nozel
    Unfavorable?
[13:21] Fuegoleon
    What could that be?
[13:22] (Flashback) Julius
    So I'd like you two to conceal your
    identities, interact with the villagers,
[13:27] (Flashback) Julius
    and gather information on the bandits.
[13:30] (Flashback) Julius
    This will be an undercover investigation.
[13:32] Marx
    An undercover investigation?
[13:35] Marx
    We're just wandering around in disguise!
[13:38] Marx
    Um... About these disguises...
[13:40] Marx
    I think these will just draw
    attention in the Forsaken Realm.
[13:43] Nozel
    True, I can't deny that,
[13:45] Nozel
    but since neither of us is
    familiar with how peasants live,
[13:48] Nozel
    our cover will be blown immediately.
[13:50] Fuegoleon
    Though few, there are traveling mages who
[13:53] Fuegoleon
    were once royalty or nobility,
    but forsook their titles.
[13:56] Marx
    Oh, I see. By the way, as for where
    we should gather information...
[14:01] Nozel
    The village square should do.
[14:04] Fuegoleon
    I agree. Lord Julius said to act casually
    around those who interact with us.
[14:10] Fuegoleon
    Let us go blend in with the masses.
[14:13] Marx
    Is that even possible?
[14:15] Marx
    Also, you probably don't need
    to be so serious about this.
[14:18] Marx
    How do I explain that to them?
SIGN    Forsaken Realm
    Arandom Village
[14:28] Marx
    Th-This is...
[14:31] Marx
    We'd heard there were places that
    had yet to be restored, but...
[14:35] Fuegoleon
    To think it'd be this bad.
[14:37] Nozel
    This matter will need attention eventually,
[14:40] Nozel
    but our mission comes first.
[14:42] Nozel
    I'll go gather information over there.
[14:44] Fuegoleon
    And I'll head over there.
[14:48] Fuegoleon
    You there.
[14:50] Veggie peddler
    Huh? I don't think I've seen
    you around here before.
[14:53] Fuegoleon
    I'm a traveling mage named Leon.
[14:55] Marx
    A-And I'm, um... Mark.
[14:58] Veggie peddler
    Traveling mages?
[15:01] Fuegoleon
    We heard that there were bandits around here.
[15:03] Fuegoleon
    I'd like you to tell us what
    you know to ensure our safety.
[15:07] Veggie peddler
    No idea. Go bother someone else.
[15:12] Marx
    As I thought. They're wary of
    us because of our disguises.
[15:16] Marx
    What shall we do, Fue... I mean, Leon?
[15:20] (Flashback) Julius
    Oh, yeah! If things get
    difficult, try saying this...
[15:28] Fuegoleon
    Chrono... vala.
[15:31] Guy
    Chronovala?
[15:33] Veggie peddler
    D-Don't tell me you're...
[15:37] Veggie Peddler
    You're friends of Chronovala's?
[15:40] Veggie peddler
    That old lady helped us out so much!
[15:43] Veggie peddler
    Whenever I didn't have enough customers,
    she'd help find me some.
[15:48] Veggie peddler
    I made a fortune that day!
    But before I knew it, she disappeared.
[15:53] Veggie peddler
    How's she doing, anyway?
[15:56] Marx
    Chronovala... Chrono...
[15:59] Marx
    Novachrono!
[16:01] Marx
    I get it! Chronovala must be the alias
    Lord Julius used when he wandered out here.
[16:06] Guy
    So you know her!
[16:08] Guy
    That old lady was great.
[16:11] Veggie peddler
    Here, take this!
[16:14] Veggie peddler
    Though my fields have been destroyed,
     so I don't have much.
[16:18] Fuegoleon
    I couldn't take them for free.
     Will this be enough?
[16:23] Veggie peddler
    Th-This much?!
[16:25] Veggie peddler
    This is way too much, even if
    you bought everything here!
[16:29] Fuegleon
    Then use the rest to help get
    this village back on its feet.
[16:32] Veggie peddler
    Are you really sure about this?!
[16:34] Guy
    Wow...
[16:36] Guy
    Who are those guys?
[16:37] Lady
    Apparently, they know Chronovala.
[16:41] Marx
    Amazing, Lord Julius. People respect
    you so much, even as an old woman.
[16:46] Marx
    But we've brought a lot of
    attention to ourselves when this
[16:48] Marx
    is supposed to be an undercover investigation.
[16:50] Marx
    I hope Captain Nozel is faring better...
[16:53] Lady
    You know Chronovala? She saved my baby's life!
[16:59] Nozel
    She did?
[17:00] Lady
    I went into labor out in the fields,
     and she called a doctor for me.
[17:07] Lady
    I know! Here, you can hold him!
[17:09] Lady
    I named him Vala.
[17:11] Nozel
    Wait, I—
[17:16] Nozel
    I haven't held a baby since Noelle was born.
[17:20] Marx
    Noze...
[17:22] Nozel
    Noze?
[17:23] Marx
    Everyone here seems to know Ju—Chronovala.
[17:27] Nozel
    It appears so.
[17:30] Mayor
    I am the mayor of this village, Mayer.
[17:33] Mayor
    We can't offer much, but please
    stay the night in our village.
[17:38] Veggie peddler
    Yeah, that's a great idea! Stay the night!
[17:41] Lady
    We can't make much, but we'll treat you!
[17:45] Marx
    What shall we do?
[17:46] Nozel
    We have no reason to decline.
[17:48] Fuegoleon
    Well, he did say to act casually
    with anyone we encountered.
[17:53] Marx
    W-Well, if that's the case...
[18:00] Marx
    I guess we never got any
    information on the bandits.
[18:04] Marx
    I wonder what the unfavorable
    thing going on here could be.
[18:13] Marx
    What is it?
[18:17] Nozel
    As I figured...
[18:20] Veggie peddler
    Looks like they're asleep.
[18:22] Guy
    Let's go.
[18:30] Marx
    So you're the bandits ravaging this area!
[18:34] Veggie peddler
    So what if we are? Give us all your money!
[18:37] Lady
    Or you're gonna get hurt.
[18:39] Veggie peddler
    Get 'em!
[18:52] Marx
    Y-You're...
[18:55] Marx
    The villagers?
[18:59] Fuegoleon
    I was hoping that wasn't the case.
[19:02] Mayor
    This is the end.
[19:04] Guy
    Mayor!
[19:05] Mayor
    We knew this would happen, even though
    we were just trying to survive.
[19:10] Mayor
    After the Eye of the Midnight Sun's attack,
     our village was left in shambles.
[19:16] Mayor
    But we never received aid
    from the royal capital
[19:20] Mayor
    and were driven into even worse poverty.
[19:24] Mayor
    Still, stealing from others in order
    to try to restore our village
[19:28] Mayor
    was far too selfish of us.
[19:33] Mayor
    I was the one who led my people to do this.
[19:35] Mayor
    Please, let it just be me who
    gets taken to the Magic Knights.
[19:40] Lady
    What are you talking about?!
[19:41] Veggie
    You were just looking out for us!
[19:43] Marx
    I had no idea they were this dismayed.
[19:46] Marx
    If only we'd acted sooner,
    this never would've happened.
[19:50] Veggie peddler
    We can't let the mayor take
    all the blame for this!
[19:53] Lady
    We're going down with you.
[19:55] Mayor
    N-No!
[20:06] Mayor
    Y-You're...
[20:08] Mayor
    Lord Fuegoleon and Lord Nozel!
[20:11] Veggie peddler
    M-M-M-Magic Knights captains?!
[20:13] Lady
    What?!
[20:14] Fuegoleon
    We can see that your village
    is in need of assistance.
[20:17] Fuegoleon
    We can let this misconduct go.
[20:19] Nozel
    You're too soft, as usual.
    A crime is a crime.
[20:23] Nozel
    Do not let your emotions get in
    the way. They must be judged.
[20:25] Fuegoleon
    And you're being far too cruel.
[20:31] Fuegoleon
    You are hereby ordered to help restore
    all of the villages in this area.
[20:36] Nozel
    But a crime is still a crime.
[20:38] Nozel
    Atone for what you have done.
[20:42] Veggie
    D-Does that mean we're...
[20:45] Marx
    The royal capital has not forsaken you.
[20:48] Nozel
    But we may not have been
    aware of the entire situation.
[20:52] Fuegoleon
    We are going to work even harder to restore
    this whole kingdom. Please have faith.
[20:58] Mayor
    Thank you very much!
[21:01] Nozel
    Thus ends the report on everything
    that happened in that village.
[21:05] Julius
    Great job. You made the right choice.
[21:08] Fuegoleon
    We've sent squad members to the other
    villages to see what kind of aid they need.
[21:15] Julius
    Yes. Our job is to protect this kingdom,
[21:18] Julius
    as well as to make sure its
    citizens can live in peace.
[21:22] Julius
    By having to face the truth, perhaps your
    view of this kingdom has changed a bit?
[21:28] Nozel
    As I thought...
[21:29] Fuegoleon
    That's why he sent us.
[21:31] Julius
    Nozel, Fuegoleon...
[21:33] Julius
    I want you to work even harder to lead
    the kingdom and the Magic Knights.
[21:38] Both
    As you wish!
[21:40] Julius
    Yup. I'm counting on you two.
[21:46] Julius
    Now, then... I feel like
    wandering around a bit myself.
[21:50] Marx
    Absolutely not.
[21:51] Julius
    Aw...
[21:52] Julius
    Then maybe I'll talk to Yami...
[21:55] Julius
    Since there isn't much I can do right now.
[22:00] Marx
    That may be true, but this kingdom
    still needs you very much.

    Yuno struggles with the Golden Dawn since
    they are made up of nobles and royals.
