Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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.
