[00:05] Nar
    The Clover Kingdom.
[00:06] Nar
    In this kingdom where magic is everything,
[00:08] Nar
    there is one boy who can't use magic.
[00:10] Nar
    His name is Asta.
[00:12] Nar
    He puts in blood, sweat, and tears
    in hopes of becoming the Wizard King.
[00:17] Nar
    But there are also those in the kingdom
    who possess at least a little bit of mana,
[00:22] Nar
    yet can barely use any magic at all.
[00:27] Nar
    The very few out of the population,
    those who live in the shadows...
[00:36] Nar
    They are also trying to survive.

[02:25] (Flashback) Vide
    I-Is that a no?
[02:30] (Flashback) Vide
    Wh-What did you say? I couldn't hear you.
[02:34] (Flashback) Dazu
    Are you sure I'm good enough?
[02:37] (Flashback) Vide
    Of course! Dazu, I...
[02:41] (Flashback) Vide
    I want you to be my wife.
[03:00] (Flashback) Meshu
    You're so hardworking, Dazu.
[03:03] (Flashback) Dazu
    Mother.
[03:05] (Flashback) Meshu
    You don't even use magic,
[03:07] (Flashback) Meshu
    but you still manage to do just
    as much work as the rest of us.
[03:22] Finral
    Yami...
[03:24] Yami
    Yeah... I wonder how many
    more graves popped up
[03:28] Yami
    after the Eye of the Midnight Sun attacked.
[03:39] Finral
    H-Hey there, miss...
[03:42] Finral
    There's something we'd like to ask you.
[03:46] Dazu
    What's that?
[03:47] Finral
    Have you seen this girl before?
[03:52] Finral
    Also, did you happen to see a really cute
    girl with horns growing out of her head?
[03:56] Dazu
    Horns? What do you mean?
[04:00] Yami
    Then...
[04:01] Yami
    Maybe you've heard something
[04:03] Yami
    about a group of people who
    hate devils getting together?
[04:07] Dazu
    Is there anyone who doesn't hate the devil?
[04:11] Dazu
    You're talking about what caused
    the tragedy here recently, right?
[04:16] Yami
    Yeah.
[04:18] Dazu
    You're Magic Knights, aren't you?
[04:21] Yami
    Yeah.
[04:22] Dazu
    My husband and his mother died that day.
[04:28] Dazu
    Why didn't you come to help us?
[04:33] Finral
    We were stretched too thin ourselves.
    The whole kingdom was a mess...
[04:37] Yami
    I'm sorry.
[04:40] Yami
    I'm sorry we couldn't protect your family.
[04:46] Dazu
    If you'll excuse me.
[05:03] Villager A
    That silver hair and cross...
    They must be from the Silva family.
[05:06] Villager B
    What are royals doing here?
[05:09] Villager C
    Hey, don't stare so much.
[05:13] Noelle
    Hey, I have a question.
[05:15] Noelle
    Have you seen this girl?
[05:17] Guy A
    Huh? I, uh...
[05:20] Guy A
    She's really cute.
[05:22] Noelle
    We're looking for her and another
    girl with horns on her head.
[05:26] Noelle
    If you've seen them, tell me.
[05:28] Man A
    What do you mean by horns?
[05:30] Noelle
    So you haven't seen them? Okay, then.
[05:33] Man A
    R-Right...
[05:35] Noelle
    Hey, I have a question for you.
[05:36] Man B
    Huh?
[05:37] Noelle
    Have you seen this girl?
[05:39] Man B
    No, I haven't. Please excuse me.
[05:42] Noelle
    Take a closer look!
[05:44] Man B
    Sorry, I'm a bit busy.
[05:47] Man B
    My house was destroyed,
    and I have to rebuild it.
[05:49] Man B
    I just have so much to do.
[05:52] Noelle
    Wait!
[05:53] Nozel
    Don't chase them.
[05:56] Noelle
    Nozel...
[05:58] Nozel
    The people of this town...
[06:00] Nozel
    They're not making it obvious,
[06:02] Nozel
    but many of them hold a grudge
    against the Magic Knights
[06:04] Nozel
    and resent how the kingdom has handled things.
[06:08] Nozel
    I can't blame them.
[06:10] Nozel
    When this town was in danger,
    we couldn't do anything for them.
[06:16] Noelle
    You're right...
[06:18] Nozel
    We won't be able to get any useful
    information by being forceful.
[06:22] Noelle
    But if we don't hurry, Nero and Marie will be...
[06:25] Nozel
    We are indeed in a hurry, but no
    good ever came out of panicking.
[06:29] Nozel
    If you're a true Magic Knight, you need
    to remain calm in these situations.
[06:34] Noelle
    Right...
[06:35] Nozel
    Questioning them isn't the only thing
    we can do. Let's try something else.
[06:39] Noelle
    Right!
[06:47] Gauche
    Marie!
[06:49] Man C
    Hey! What are you doing?
[06:56] Gauche
    You're not Marie...
[06:57] Man C
    What are you trying to do to my daughter?
[06:59] Gauche
    Sorry!
[07:00] Gauche
    But I'm a bit desperate here!
[07:04] Gordon
    I have to back him up since he's
    my partner in the G-G Duo!
[07:10] Gordon
    Please forgive us. You can have this, okay?
[07:17] Man C
    Stay away from my daughter, you creeps!
[07:21] Gordon
    Try not to mistake someone
    else for Marie again.
[07:23] Gauche
    Shut your trap!
[07:25] Gauche
    If I sense it might be Marie, I'm going to act!
[07:30] Gauche
    Damn it! Marie!
[07:32] Gauche
    Where are you?! My angel Marie! Answer me!
[07:38] Gordon
    You can't shout like that!
[07:41] Maggie
    You called?
[07:43] Gauche
    The hell?
[07:45] Maggie
    You just called my name.
[07:48] Maggie
    And you called me an angel.
[07:51] Maggie
    No one's ever called me that,
    even when I was younger.
[07:55] Gauche
    What the hell are you yapping
    about, you old hag?
[07:58] Gordon
    Um, what is your name?
[08:02] Maggie
    My name's Maggie.
[08:04] Gauche
    We're looking for Marie!
[08:07] Maggie
    Oh, my. I guess that's different.
[08:10] Gordon
    So close...
[08:26] Bow
    Something must've happened.
[08:28] Dazu
    Yes.
[08:31] Bow
    We can talk down below.
[08:36] Mask C
    Welcome back, Dazu.
[08:37] Mask D
    Good work out there.
[08:39] Dazu
    Thank you.
[08:40] Kabwe
    How long are we going to hide down here?
[08:44] Onoby
    We should just execute these two already.
[08:47] Dazu
    There's an even bigger
    problem on our hands now.
[08:51] Dazu
    The Magic Knights are here.
[08:53] Kabwe
    What?
[08:55] Mask E
    Did they track us?
[08:57] Mask D
    No, that's not possible.
[08:58] Mask D
    Master Kabwe's transparency spell
    made us disappear flawlessly.
[09:03] Kabwe
    Maybe they planted something...
[09:09] Kabwe
    Transparency Magic: Detection Decoder.
[09:13] Siona
    There it is!
[09:15] Kabwe
    This is...
[09:16] Kabwe
    A magic item to keep tabs
    on one who is devil-possessed!
[09:20] Kabwe
    What's it doing here?
[09:22] Onoby
    Curses! How underhanded!
[09:25] Dazu
    Please wait.
[09:27] Dazu
    I have an idea.
[09:36] Yami
    Hey, did you guys get any information?
[09:39] Noelle
    The townspeople wouldn't
    tell us anything useful.
[09:43] Noelle
    We tried to find somewhere they'd use as
    a hideout, but nothing has turned up.
[09:48] Nozel
    I'm trying to track mana,
    but can't pinpoint a target.
[09:52] Nozel
    And...
[09:55] Finral
    The signal still seems unstable.
[09:57] Nozel
    On top of that, we don't know when they'll
    notice that communication magic item.
[10:02] Noelle
    We need to find those two
    before they find it.
[10:05] Yami
    What about you two?
[10:08] Gordon
    We were talking with an old woman.
[10:10] Gauche
    She wasn't so bad.
[10:12] Yami
    Why the hell did you two even come here?
[10:14] Gauche
    I'm serious about this!
[10:16] Gauche
    I'm just doing whatever will find those
    assholes who took Marie the fastest!
[10:23] Yami
    What's up, Bangs?
[10:25] Nozel
    They're on the move.
[10:26] Gauche
    Where?!
[10:28] Finral
    Did they let down their defense?
[10:30] Yami
    I'm not sure, but this is weird.
[10:33] Nozel
    I'm sure they realize we're in town.
[10:37] Nozel
    This could be a diversion.
[10:40] Yami
    All right. Gordon and I will
    investigate this town a bit more.
[10:44] Yami
    You guys can borrow my wheels.
[10:47] Nozel
    Very well. That'll make
    getting back somewhat easier.
[10:50] Finral
    Even Captain Nozel's using
    me as an errand boy?!
[10:53] Nozel
    Get on. We're going after them.
[11:02] Bow
    That worked like a charm.
[11:03] Dazu
    This should buy us some time.
[11:06] Onoby
    Curse those Magic Knights.
[11:09] Siona
    During the attack by the
    Eye of the Midnight Sun,
[11:11] Siona
    many of the Magic Knights
    had their bodies taken over
[11:14] Siona
    and contributed to the
    destruction of this kingdom.
[11:17] Siona
    They're absolutely unforgivable!
[11:19] Mask E
    You're exactly right.
[11:21] Mask F
    The Magic Knights only defend each other.
[11:24] Mask G
    We mean nothing to them!
[11:29] Mask C
    Let's show them the true meaning of justice!
[11:33] Kabwe
    Of course.
[11:35] Kabwe
    We're standing up for the
    rights of our fellow citizens,
[11:37] Kabwe
    and to regain peace and
    harmony in this kingdom.
[11:40] Kabwe
    Now... In order to exact our justice,
[11:44] Kabwe
    let us execute these two servants
    of the devil immediately.
[11:47] Onoby
    Agreed!
[11:48] Onoby
    We'll put their corpses on
    display and show the world
[11:51] Onoby
    the Magic Knights' negligence,
    arrogance, and deceit!
[11:56] Siona
    There's no future in this kingdom for
    the Magic Knights who aid the devils!
[12:00] Kabwe
    Exactly! From now on, we will be the ones
[12:03] Kabwe
    who maintain the peace and
    tranquility of the Clover Kingdom!
[12:07] Dazu
    I think we should hold off on the executions.
[12:12] Onoby
    How can you say that right now?!
[12:14] Dazu
    I feel exactly the same way as all of you.
[12:17] Dazu
    I cannot forgive anyone
    who sides with the devil.
[12:20] Dazu
    But if we hang on to those two,
[12:22] Dazu
    we'll be able to lure out the
    devil-possessed boy, Asta.
[12:27] Dazu
    Wouldn't the masses side more with
[12:29] Dazu
    Master Kabwe if we disposed
    of all three of them at once?
[12:35] Mask C
    True. If we use them as bait,
    the Black Bulls should act.
[12:39] Mask F
    Asta the Devil-Possessed...
    He's who we're really after.
[12:43] Kabwe
    True...
[12:45] Kabwe
    We might as well call Asta a devil himself.
[12:49] Kabwe
    We cannot exact justice until we execute him.
[12:53] Dazu
    Yes, you're exactly right.
[12:56] Dazu
    Now, let us figure out a way to capture Asta.
[13:00] Kabwe
    Let me think...
[13:12] Nozel
    They stopped moving.
[13:14] Noelle
    There's no one here?
[13:16] Nozel
    In there.
[13:18] Gauche
    Marie!
[13:19] Gauche
    We've come to save you! Answer me!
[13:33] Noelle
    This is...
[13:35] Nozel
    They put one over on us.
[13:37] Finral
    Then Nero and Marie are...
[13:40] Gauche
    Damn it!
[13:43] Nozel
    We'll regroup with Yami and Gordon
    and return to the royal capital for now.
[13:46] Nozel
    We need to rethink our plan.
[13:56] Bow
    It'll be okay.
[13:59] Dazu
    Do you think this will all work out?
[14:01] Bow
    Everything's been working out
    for us ever since that day.
[14:05] Dazu
    It's all thanks to you, Bow.
[14:09] Bow
    No, it's not.
[14:11] Bow
    If I hadn't met you, my life wouldn't
    be going anywhere right now.
[14:19] Dazu
    If I didn't have you,
[14:22] Dazu
    I would've felt nothing but despair
    at everything in this world.
[14:26] Bow
    You can do it. Because you're my hope.
[14:33] Dazu
    I'm sure this will all work
    out with you by my side, Bow.
[14:52] Asta
    What? Where am I?
[14:54] Owen
    Are you awake?
[14:56] Owen
    This is a breakroom in the palace.
[14:58] Asta
    Owen...
[15:01] Asta
    That's right! Nero was...
[15:04] Owen
    Hey, wait!
[15:10] Yami
    You need to confirm what's going on
    before you go runnin' off like that, kid.
[15:15] Asta
    Yes, sir!
[15:17] Owen
    I managed to rid your body of the drug
    they used on you, so you can go now.
[15:21] Asta
    Thank you!
[15:23] Asta
    So those guys called the Devil
    Panickers took Nero and Marie?
[15:27] Noelle
    The Devil Banishers. You were
     almost taken yourself.
[15:33] Asta
    You saved me, didn't you?
    Thanks a bunch, Noelle!
[15:37] Noelle
    I-It's not like I was trying to save you.
[15:41] Noelle
    It's just that those weirdos were
    doing something that seemed odd...
[15:44] Noelle
    But I wasn't able to protect Nero.
[15:47] Asta
    That's not your fault! It's because I
    wasn't strong enough that Nero was...
[15:51] Yami
    There's no point in talking about that now.
[15:54] Yami
    Since we got Owen's okay,
    you guys head back to the hideout.
[16:00] Asta
    No! I'm going out to look for them right now!
[16:04] Yami
    Didn't you hear a word we just said?
[16:08] Yami
    We don't have any clues right now,
    so we have no way of finding them.
[16:12] Asta
    That's right!
[16:15] Yami
    I'm counting on you.
[16:17] Finral
    Where are you going, Yami?
[16:19] Yami
    A captain's gotta do his
    captainly duties sometimes.
[16:23] Yami
    Oh, yeah.
[16:24] Yami
    I already warned him myself,
[16:27] Yami
    but if Gauche decides to freak out,
     use force if necessary to stop him.
[16:30] Yami
    I don't care how, as long as
    he's still breathing some. Got it?
[16:33] Asta
    Okay...
[16:37] Marx
    Everyone is here.
[16:39] Marx
    The Golden Dawn and Aqua Deer
    are securing our borders.
[16:43] Marx
    The Coral Peacocks and Purple Orcas
[16:46] Marx
    are aiding in the restoration
    of high-priority locations.
[16:49] Julius
    We can't just abandon those duties right now.
[16:53] Julius
    So if we can solve this with everyone
    who's here right now, it'd be for the best.
[16:57] Damnatio
    There's something I'd like to say first.
[17:00] Damnatio
    There is a high likelihood that my
    subordinates orchestrated this whole thing.
[17:05] Damnatio
    And because of that, I will
    offer you any information I can.
[17:09] Julius
    Are you all okay with that?
[17:12] Fuegoleon
    Our top priority right now is to
    take back the two who were taken.
[17:17] Nozel
    We can investigate your
    subordinates' involvement later.
[17:22] Julius
    Yes, you're right.
[17:24] Marx
    Chairman Damnatio, if you would fill us in.
[17:31] Damnatio
    The first is Kabwe Carillon, 38 years old.
[17:35] Damnatio
    He uses transparency magic that allows
    him and those around him to disappear.
[17:40] Damnatio
    But unlike the former Captain of the
    Purple Orcas, he cannot conceal his mana.
[17:46] Damnatio
    The second is Onoby Sinho, 31 years old.
[17:50] Damnatio
    He uses barrier magic that allows him to
[17:52] Damnatio
    put up a barrier with a radius
    about five times his height.
[17:55] Damnatio
    If anyone tries to forcefully destroy
    this barrier, it will explode.
[18:00] Damnatio
    The third is Siona Caverly, 29 years old.
[18:04] Damnatio
    She is a paper magic user who
    can control any thickness
[18:08] Damnatio
    and length of paper at will.
[18:10] Jack
    None of them sound like
    they're worth slicing up.
[18:13] Marx
    We don't know for sure if they're involved
    with the Devil Banishers just yet.
[18:18] Yami
    Once we get proof they're involved,
    you can slice them up all you want,
[18:22] Yami
    but for now, help us figure out how we're
    gonna save those girls, Beanpole Monster.
[18:27] Nozel
    The Black Bull who has been captured
     possesses arcane stage magic.
[18:32] Nozel
    Since she stands a chance against the devil,
    she is key in our strategy to fight it.
[18:36] Nozel
    We cannot lose her.
[18:38] Charlotte
    The other captive is also an
    important citizen of this kingdom.
[18:42] Charlotte
    We must get her back unharmed.
[18:45] Yami
    Great thing to say, Prickly Queen.
[18:48] Yami
    You're way smarter than
    a certain beanpole we know.
[18:51] Jack
    Shut up.
[18:52] Charlotte
    Yami praised me! Wait, now's not
    the time to be happy about that.
[18:57] Fuegoleon
    Even if it was an ambush, it's hard to believe
[19:00] Fuegoleon
    that Asta would let someone who's
    not a fighter get the best of him.
[19:03] Yami
    Well, they used a method he's
    never had to deal with before.
[19:06] Marx
    They used a sleeping potion on Asta.
[19:09] Jack
    Well, that's pretty dirty.
[19:13] Yami
    Our kid's trained, so he can dispel
    any spells if he's attacked by magic
[19:17] Yami
    and smack anyone back if
    they physically hit him.
[19:21] Yami
    So basically, he's only fought people
    face-to-face up until now, so that was fine.
[19:27] Nozel
    It would appear they have someone
    rather intelligent in their ranks.
[19:31] Nozel
    There is also the fact that they
    used that magic item against us.
[19:35] Jack
    So those guys call themselves
    the Devil Banishers.
[19:39] Jack
    They want to get rid of the devil, don't they?
[19:42] Marx
    Yes.
[19:43] Jack
    So why haven't they offed their captives
     already? I'm sure they've had the chance.
[19:48] Damnatio
    If we assume my subordinates are
    indeed involved in this matter...
[19:53] Damnatio
    Among the three, Kabwe has an
    extremely strong sense of justice,
[19:57] Damnatio
    and after the incident with
    the Eye of the Midnight Sun,
[20:00] Damnatio
    he grew to hate the devil even more.
[20:03] Damnatio
    He was quite exasperated
    that the execution of the
[20:06] Damnatio
    devil-possessed had been delayed.
[20:08] Jack
    Then wouldn't he kill them even quicker?
[20:10] Jack
    Why would they bother wasting
    time with sleeping potions?
[20:14] Nozel
    I'm sure they had their reasons.
[20:17] Jack
    Like what?
[20:18] Damnatio
    If Kabwe is leading them,
[20:20] Damnatio
    he would much prefer this be an actual
    execution rather than an assassination.
[20:24] Damnatio
    I'm sure he will try to take
    their lives in front of
[20:27] Damnatio
    the masses in the name of justice.
[20:30] Damnatio
    So that he can gain the approval of the masses
    and justify his own brand of justice.
[20:35] Charlotte
    So he fancies himself a revolutionary.
[20:37] Damnatio
    That seems like a rather effective
    way to carry out their goal.
[20:41] Jack
    Tch. Man, these assholes are a pain.
[20:44] Fuegoleon
    But going with that assumption, it's very
    likely the captives are still alive.
[20:50] Yami
    Yeah.
[20:51] Charlotte
    If they actually carried out
    a public execution...
[20:54] Nozel
    I'm sure there are citizens who
    would agree with their justice.
[20:58] Nozel
    Even I have seen those who are unhappy
    with this kingdom's governance
[21:01] Nozel
    ever since the attack by the
    Eye of the Midnight Sun.
[21:05] Julius
    The wounds from that attack have yet to heal.
[21:08] Julius
    People still remember how
    fearsome the devil was.
[21:12] Marx
    If this keeps going, there might be an
    uprising caused by a large group of rebels.
[21:18] Julius
    We must prepare for the imminent threat
    from outside our kingdom right now,
[21:21] Julius
    so we need to do everything
    we can to avoid conflict within.
[21:25] Julius
    That's just another reason we need
    to put an end to their schemes.
[21:29] Fuegoleon
    If they're going to go through
    with this public execution,
[21:32] Fuegoleon
    they will appear before us.
[21:35] Yami
    What's important is what we do then.
[21:38] Julius
    Yes. I'd like you all to proceed with caution.
[21:42] Julius
    There's still something off about all of this.
[21:46] Julius
    It feels like we might be overlooking something.
