[00:00] Blade
    Yum!
[00:02] Blade
    Tonkatsu curry is so good!
[00:05] Earnest
    Hey, Blade. You've got food on your face.
[00:09] Sophie
    I'll wipe it clean.
[00:15] Earnest
    Ah!
[00:16] Earnest
    What are you two doing?!
[00:18] Blade
    You brought it up.
[00:20] Yessica
    Heya.
[00:22] Claire
    Anna, mind if we join you?
[00:24] Earnest
    You're still calling me Anna?
[00:26] Earnest
    Not that I mind.
[00:27] Yessica
    Thanks, Anna.
[00:31] Yessica
    Hey, Blade.
[00:32] Yessica
    How do these outfits look on us?
[00:34] Blade
    How, you ask?
[00:36] Claire
    Oh, I suddenly feel so self-conscious.
[00:39] Earnest
    That's right. Today's the day, isn't it?
[00:42] Earnest
    Congratulations on moving up,
    all four of you.
[00:44] Blade
    Huh?
[00:45] Blade
    You mean they're all in the advanced class?
[00:47] Kassim
    Didn't even notice, huh?
[00:49] Clay
    That's why we're allowed to dress freely now.
[00:52] Yessica
    So how do we look?
[00:53] Yessica
    Any thoughts?
[00:54] Blade
    I bet you're freezing.
[00:57] Leonard
    Why, how do you do, my fair ladies?
[01:00] Leonard
    Oh! I'm utterly entranced by your beauty!
[01:04] Claire
    Um...
[01:06] Yessica
    Hey, Anna.
[01:07] Yessica
    Who's this gorgeous fella here?
[01:09] Leonard
    I'm quite flattered, really.
[01:11] Leonard
    Unfortunately, I love all
    women in equal measure.
[01:15] Leonard
    I cannot let myself be bound to just one.
[01:16] Earnest
    We get it, Leonard.
[01:18] Earnest
    Anyway, Blade, have you heard?
[01:21] Blade
    Hmm?
[01:22] Earnest
    I hear His Majesty the King is having a
    magical beast brought here to the school.
[01:27] Kassim
    You mean we have to fight it for training?
[01:30] Clay
    No way, that's way too extreme...
[01:32] Blade
    Hmm...
[01:34] Earnest
    "Hmm," you say?!
[01:34] Earnest
    It's a magical beast!
[01:35] Blade
    Well, I wouldn't put it past that old fart.
[01:39] Earnest
    "Old fart"?! That's lèse-majesté!
[01:41] Blade
    Whatever, he deserves it.
[01:45] Student G
    An earthquake?!
[01:48] Sophie
    Blade.
[01:49] Earnest
    Wait, could it be...
[01:52] Earnest
    Everyone!
[01:55] Sophie
    We should have everyone take shelter.
[01:58] Blade
    Sheesh.
SIGN    Episode 3
SIGN    Cu Chulainn
[03:38] Soldier
    Someone call for His Majesty!
[03:40] Soldier
    He's the only one who can handle a dragon!
[03:43] Crowd 1
    Be careful!
[03:44] Crowd 2
    Take cover!
[03:49] Blade
    This is the magical beast?
[03:50] Earnest
    What?
[03:51] Earnest
    A dragon?!
[03:57] Earnest
    Wait!
[04:04] Crowd 3
    Look out!
[04:06] Crowd 4
    You there, get back!
[04:08] Crowd 5
    Run for it!
[04:18] Blade
    Sit!
[04:23] Blade
    There.
[04:24] Earnest
    Blade, did you just subdue a
    dragon with your bare hands?
[04:28] Blade
    Huh? This one's still young.
[04:30] Blade
    You must have been scared,
    being dragged all the way here.
[04:33] Blade
    Or are you hungry?
[04:36] Blade
    Here.
[04:41] Blade
    Too spicy for you?
[04:42] Student D
    No way... Without any weapons?
[04:42] Student Q
    A dragon, with one blow?
[04:44] Student E
    I can't believe it!
[04:46] Blade
    No way, this is normal!
[04:49] Blade
    It's normal, right?
[04:55] Blade
    It's not like it's a Great Dragon,
    or an Ancient Dragon!
[04:59] Blade
    Anyone could take down this
    little dragon with a single hit!
[05:03] Blade
    Um, well...
[05:07] Earnest
    Eh?!
[05:08] Blade
    Huh?
[05:09] Earnest
    B-Behind you!
[05:11] Blade
    Behind me?
[05:13] Cu
    Parent!
[05:15] Blade
    Whoa, what?!
[05:16] Cu
    So you're my parent!
[05:19] Blade
    Parent?
[05:20] Blade
    Wait, what are you going on about?
[05:21] Cu
    I've finally found you, Parent!
[05:23] Cu
    So play with me!
[05:25] Blade
    I'll go and find your parents later.
[05:28] Blade
    There.
[05:29] Blade
    Anyway, where did that dragon run off to?
[05:32] Earnest
    Th-Th-The dragon shrank
    down into that little girl!
[05:33] Cu
    Play with me!
[05:35] Cu
    Parent, play with me!
[05:36] Blade
    Huh? That's impossible!
[05:38] Cu
    Play with me!
[05:39] Blade
    Hey, be quiet for a second!
[05:41] Cu
    Aye.
[05:42] Cu
    If you insist, I am more
    than willing to be quiet.
[05:46] Blade
    Mm-hmm.
[05:47] Blade
    So, where's the dragon?
[05:49] Earnest
    Like I said, that girl...
[05:51] Blade
    Surely you joke.
[05:52] Sophie
    Blade. I saw it, too.
[05:54] Sophie
    Her true form is a dragon.
[05:56] Blade
    What?!
[05:57] Blade
    She's a dragon, for real?
[05:58] Earnest
    That's what I've been saying!
[06:00] Earnest
    Why do you believe Sophie and not me?!
[06:02] Cu
    Parent.
[06:03] Cu
    I did as you said and stayed quiet.
[06:06] Cu
    A whole ten seconds, just for you.
[06:08] Cu
    Now play with me!
[06:10] Blade
    Wait, why are you calling me your parent?!
[06:13] Cu
    That punch earlier was something else!
[06:16] Cu
    I'd expect nothing less from my parent!
[06:18] Cu
    Parent!
[06:20] Cu
    Play with me! Play with me!
[06:22] Blade
    Wh-What now?
[06:23] Cu
    Play with me!
[06:24] Cu
    Play with me! Play with me! Play with me!
[06:31] Cu
    The roots of my horns are sensitive!
[06:34] Cu
    Don't be rough with them!
[06:36] Blade
    Sure, got it.
[06:38] Blade
    How'd I end up doing this?
[06:41] Cu
    That tickles!
[06:42] Blade
    Hey, don't run away, Cu!
[06:45] Cu
    Parent!
[06:47] Cu
    What does the name you gave me,
    Cu Chulainn, mean?
[06:51] Blade
    It's the name of a devoted knight, who was
    really strong and always kept promises.
[06:57] Cu
    Aye. I can keep a promise.
[07:00] Cu
    A dragon upholds an oath
    even if it costs them their life.
[07:04] Earnest
    Blade?
[07:05] Earnest
    Where are you, Blade?
[07:08] Earnest
    Y-You moron!
[07:09] Earnest
    If you were in the bath,
    you should have said so!
[07:11] Blade
    Hey, you didn't give me any time to respond!
[07:14] Blade
    So, did you learn anything?
[07:16] Earnest
    Oh, yeah.
[07:18] Earnest
    Magical beasts, including dragons,
    are creatures who seek out strength.
[07:22] Earnest
    When one is vanquished, its flesh may perish,
[07:24] Earnest
    but a fragment of its soul lingers
    as an agglomerate of knowledge.
[07:29] Earnest
    And when that soul becomes
    incarnated as another entity,
[07:33] Earnest
    it mimics the shape of the
    stronger being that finished it off.
[07:37] Earnest
    Perhaps it's an evolutionary
    instinct to seek out strength.
[07:40] Blade
    So you mean a dragon defeated by a
    human can end up taking a human form?
[07:44] Earnest
    But it's an extremely rare occurrence.
[07:47] Earnest
    Not a lot of humans can take down
    a high-level beast like a dragon.
[07:51] Blade
    Huh? Y-Yeah, you're right!
[07:53] Blade
    You think Cu was vanquished
    by a human in her past life?
[07:57] Earnest
    Cu? That's her name?
[07:59] Earnest
    Did you give her that name, Blade?
[08:01] Cu
    That's right!
[08:02] Cu
    It's a name that pleases me greatly!
[08:04] Earnest
    What?!
[08:05] Blade
    What's wrong, Earnest?
[08:07] Earnest
    You pervert!
[08:10] Earnest
    Unbelievable!
[08:11] Earnest
    Unbelievable!
[08:13] Blade
    What was that for?
[08:20] Cu
    Parent, I'm hungry!
[08:22] Blade
    You can feed yourself, you know.
[08:24] Blade
    Here.
[08:29] Cu
    I'm perfectly capable of
    feeding myself, of course.
[08:32] Cu
    However, being fed by Parent makes
    the food taste that much better!
[08:39] Claire
    Um, do you mind if I also feed Cu?
[08:42] Cu
    No!
[08:44] Cu
    I won't be friends with weakling humans!
[08:45] Yessica
    There, there.
[08:46] Blade
    Hey! Look at how scared Claire is.
[08:49] Cu
    You're my parent now,
    so you should only pay attention to me!
[08:54] Cu
    In the morning, you need to
    give me good morning smooches,
[08:57] Cu
    and for meals, you must let me
    sit in your lap and feed me!
[09:01] Blade
    Ah. Yeah, yeah.
[09:02] Group
    You do that?!
[09:04] Blade
    Do what?
[09:05] Earnest
    Morning... smooches...
[09:07] Blade
    I haven't done that.
[09:09] Cu
    Besides, you spend all your time
    staring at mature adult female bodies!
[09:14] Cu
    I find that unacceptable!
[09:16] Group
    What?!
[09:16] Blade
    Hey, don't go wandering off by—
[09:18] Earnest
    Wait, Blade!
[09:19] Clay
    You were staring?
[09:20] Blade
    At what, exactly?
[09:21] Yessica
    Sounds like he's guilty.
[09:23] Claire
    What an awful thing to do!
[09:25] Clay
    He's guilty, all right...
[09:26] Kassim
    Guilty!
[09:26] Leonard
    Not gentlemanly at all.
[09:28] Sophie
    I can only describe you as despicable.
[09:30] Earnest
    Well, then...
[09:31] Earnest
    By unanimous verdict,
    we the jury find Blade guilty.
[09:41] Priestess
    Um, Earnest...
[09:44] Scientist
    Blade's looking at us
    like he wants to join in.
[09:47] Earnest
    And so what if he does?
[09:49] Priestess
    Oh, no...
[09:50] Scientist
    Never mind.
[09:57] Blade
    Hey! Cu!
[09:58] Blade
    Wanna join me?
[10:06] Cu
    I don't need any training,
    but if you insist, Parent,
[10:11] Cu
    I'm more than willing to show off my power.
[10:14] Blade
    Yeah, yeah.
[10:14] Clay
    Hey, Blade.
[10:16] Kassim
    We were told to group up with you.
[10:18] Clay
    Show us the ropes for the advanced class.
[10:20] Blade
    Oh, sure thing.
[10:22] Yessica
    Hey, I was hoping to specialize
    in espionage as a spy.
[10:26] Yessica
    Who should I have teach me?
[10:27] Blade
    Sophie would be the one with those skills.
[10:29] Yessica
    Sophity!
[10:32] Sophie
    ...Ty?
[10:33] Yessica
    Sophity!
[10:34] Sophie
    What?
[10:35] Clay
    Then I guess it'll be us four.
[10:37] Blade
    Oh, almost forgot.
[10:40] Blade
    Huh?
[10:41] Blade
    Where did Cu run off to?
[10:43] Claire
    Cu?
[10:44] Blade
    Man, she never listens to me.
[10:48] Cu
    Nothing beats morning smooches!
[11:06] Student K
    That girl's back again.
[11:08] Student B
    If you're interested, wanna join in?
[11:10] Student B
    We'd be happy to have you.
[11:13] Student N
    Won't you be friends with us?
[11:20] Cu
    You're no match for me at all.
[11:27] Blade
    What were you up to, Cu?
[11:31] Cu
    Nothing.
[11:33] Cu
    Never mind that, Parent.
[11:34] Cu
    My stomach is empty!
[11:36] Cu
    I'm starving!
[11:38] Blade
    Okay, tonkatsu curry it is!
[11:40] Cu
    You know me too well!
[11:42] Cu
    But don't make it spicy!
[11:45] Cu
    Also, I absolutely refuse to eat carrots!
[12:05] Earnest
    Blade, are you in there?
[12:09] Blade
    Dragons are tormented by their parents
    immediately after they're born.
[12:13] Blade
    The child, learning that something
    stronger than it exists,
[12:17] Blade
    imprints onto that thing as its parent.
[12:19] Earnest
    So that's why?
[12:21] Blade
    Maybe she's been alone since she was born.
[12:25] Earnest
    You realize though, don't you?
[12:29] Earnest
    You can't keep pretending to be her parent.
[12:32] Blade
    I know that.
[12:34] Blade
    But if I'm not there as her parent,
    she'll end up truly alone in the world.
[12:40] Blade
    You know how much it
    hurts to be alone, right?
[12:43] Earnest
    That's not fair!
[12:44] Earnest
    How am I supposed to argue
    anything after that?
[12:48] Blade
    Sorry.
[12:50] Earnest
    It's fine.
[12:51] Earnest
    Now I know that you were serious when
    you decided to take care of her.
[12:56] Earnest
    That reassured you as well, right, Sophie?
[12:59] Blade
    Sophie?!
[13:04] Earnest
    Wait, you didn't realize she was there?
[13:06] Earnest
    I ran into her on my way to your room.
[13:09] Earnest
    She's just like me.
[13:10] Earnest
    Looks like she was worried about you.
[13:13] Blade
    Things are going well with Cu,
    and there's nothing to worry about.
[13:17] Sophie
    I see.
[13:21] Earnest
    I'll be heading back, too.
[13:23] Earnest
    I wouldn't want rumors to spread about
    me sneaking off at night to see a boy.
[13:34] Blade
    Huh?
[13:43] Blade
    What's wrong, Cu?
[13:51] Cu
    Looking at those calms me down.
[13:53] Blade
    The moons, huh?
[13:55] Cu
    The big one's the parent,
    and the small one's the child.
[13:59] Cu
    That's why they're always together.
[14:01] Cu
    I would look up at them all the time
    when I was alone in the wasteland.
[14:05] Blade
    Hey, Cu...
[14:06] Blade
    Deep down, don't you want to make friends?
[14:09] Cu
    Parent, you're gravely mistaken.
[14:12] Cu
    Dragons are far sturdier than humans,
    both physically and mentally.
[14:17] Cu
    We do not form flocks.
[14:19] Cu
    We live alone, and we die alone.
[14:21] Cu
    That's what it means to be a dragon.
[14:24] Cu
    Therefore, I have no need for friends at all!
[14:27] Cu
    Besides, the only one I need is you!
[14:31] Blade
    You sure are strong, Cu.
[14:32] Cu
    That hurts, Parent!
[14:36] Cu
    I swear, you sure are hopeless.
[14:44] King
    Do you realize exactly who I am?
[14:51] King
    This isn't a day care center.
[14:53] Blade
    Look, who else can I turn to?
[14:55] Blade
    We're the only two people
    who can look after Cu.
[14:58] Blade
    So, where's Cu?
[15:00] King
    Oh, do I have a story for you.
[15:05] (Flashback) King
    You're so adorable!
[15:06] (Flashback) King
    Cuddle, cuddle.
[15:10] (Flashback) King
    Cuddle, cuddle.
[15:11] (Flashback) King
    Ow, that smarts!
[15:12] (Flashback) Cu
    Your beard is so prickly!
[15:13] (Flashback) Cu
    Is that an attack?
[15:14] (Flashback) Cu
    Are you attacking me?!
[15:17] King
    She burst out of the room, just like that.
[15:19] Blade
    You can't even babysit?!
[15:21] Blade
    So useless!
[15:22] King
    Oh!
[15:23] King
    Being reprimanded isn't half-bad!
[15:26] King
    Scold me harder!
[15:27] Blade
    This guy's a goner.
[15:31] Blade
    Sheesh...
[15:33] Blade
    Where in the world did Cu go?
[15:41] Cu
    Come now!
[15:41] Cu
    You mustn't bully that dragon whelp!
[15:43] Cu
    Why, the poor thing!
[15:45] Cu
    Agh! You've got the wrong idea, Blade!
[15:47] Cu
    I wasn't bullying her!
[15:49] Cu
    Glower!
[15:51] Cu
    You fool! That won't work!
[15:53] Cu
    What?! My eyebeam attack!
[15:56] Blade
    Are those dolls supposed
    to be me and Earnest?
[15:58] Cu
    Bullying is wrong! Always!
[16:00] Cu
    Earnest, you're incorrigible!
[16:02] Cu
    Oh, I'm so sorry!
[16:05] Cu
    You fool! I won't accept your apology!
[16:08] Blade
    What awful slander.
[16:12] Cu
    Oh!
[16:13] Cu
    Can you please be friends with my daughter?
[16:16] Cu
    Roger. Totes can do.
[16:18] Blade
    Sophie?
[16:23] Cu
    Head pats for Cu!
[16:25] Cu
    Not fair, Claire!
[16:26] Cu
    I want to pat her head, too!
[16:28] Blade
    Claire and Yessica, huh?
[16:29] Cu
    Oh! I love all women in equal measure.
[16:33] Blade
    That's gotta be Leonard.
[16:35] Blade
    That said, she sure is observant.
[16:44] Cu
    Hello, Altia.
[16:46] Cu
    Good morning, Ilya.
[16:48] Cu
    Makino, late again?
[16:50] Cu
    Karima, good day to you.
[16:52] Cu
    Marcia, Michael, Eddy.
[16:54] Cu
    How have you all been?
[16:56] Cu
    Curtis, Isabella, Marie, Alan.
[16:59] Cu
    See you tomorrow.
[17:00] Cu
    James, Sarah, Zuimos, Herrera, Olga, Irina!
[17:01] Blade
    I haven't heard these names before...
[17:04] Blade
    Every student in the school?
[17:05] Blade
    No way...
[17:06] Cu
    Oh!
[17:08] Cu
    That makes 108 friends for my daughter!
[17:22] Blade
    I didn't even notice...
[17:30] Earnest
    Oh, did you find Cu?
[17:42] Earnest
    Wh-What?!
[17:49] Earnest
    You idiot! Stop that!
[17:51] Earnest
    Hey! Cut it out, Blade!
[17:56] Earnest
    Tell me exactly what happened.
[18:03] Blade
    What Cu needs are friends.
[18:06] Earnest
    Yes, I agree.
[18:07] Blade
    But it's not possible because of her nature.
[18:11] Blade
    Dragons can't acknowledge anyone
    weaker than them as an equal.
[18:15] Blade
    It's not in their nature.
[18:18] Blade
    For her to recognize someone as her friend,
[18:20] Blade
    they need to defeat her.
[18:23] Blade
    It doesn't mean anything if I beat her.
[18:26] Blade
    I can't be her friend.
[18:28] Blade
    There's nothing I can do...
[18:31] Earnest
    Nope. There's nothing you can do.
[18:37] Earnest
    In that case, turn to someone else!
[18:39] Earnest
    You can't fix it all by yourself!
[18:42] Earnest
    If so, then depend on others.
[18:44] Earnest
    I asked you for help not too long ago.
[18:49] Earnest
    It's unfair!
[18:50] Earnest
    I relied on you,
    yet you won't do the same!
[18:53] Earnest
    What intolerable arrogance!
[18:54] Blade
    Well, um...
[18:55] Earnest
    Just shut up and reach out for help!
[18:58] Earnest
    From me!
[18:59] Earnest
    From all of us!
[19:11] Student B
    Wait, is that...
[19:12] Student M
    The Empress?!
[19:14] Student I
    The new kid's with her, too.
[19:24] Blade
    I have a favor to ask all of you.
[19:26] Blade
    You know Cu, don't you?
[19:28] Blade
    I want you to fight Cu,
    a dragon, and beat her!
[19:32] Student B
    Easier said than done...
[19:34] Student L
    We can't go up against a dragon.
[19:38] Blade
    I'm begging you!
[19:40] Blade
    Please become friends with my daughter!
[19:44] Earnest
    I'm asking you as well.
[19:46] Earnest
    Please, fight alongside me.
[19:47] Student C
    Empress?!
[19:48] Student L
    Oh no, Lady Earnest!
[19:54] Sophie
    We're here to make the same request.
[20:01] Blade
    Why?
[20:02] Claire
    We're worried about Cu as well.
[20:06] Yessica
    Please, everyone.
[20:07] Yessica
    Do it for us.
[20:08] Clay
    Please!
[20:09] Kassim
    We're on our knees here!
[20:14] Student B
    O-Okay, we'll do it!
[20:16] Student L
    Please stop kneeling!
[20:18] Group
    We'll do whatever you want!
[20:43] King
    That's more like it!
[20:44] King
    This is the kind of hands-on
    training I wanted to see!
[20:48] Siren
    But you know, Gil,
[20:50] Siren
    will a dragon even acknowledge defeat
    if it's taken down by such a large group?
[20:53] King
    Why, sure.
[20:54] King
    In the eyes of a dragon, humans are
    creatures that work collectively.
[20:59] King
    Do you consider bees cowardly
    for fighting as a swarm?
[21:04] Siren
    No.
[21:05] King
    To a dragon, humans are the same.
[21:08] King
    They wouldn't consider it playing dirty.
[21:11] King
    That said, it's a shame I won't
    be able to watch him fight.
[21:18] Blade
    I won't mind if you accidentally
    breathe fire on that old blowhard.
[21:24] Blade
    Hey, Cu.
[21:26] Blade
    I hear that when the humans captured you,
[21:28] Blade
    they sprung a trap on you, so you
    couldn't fight to your heart's content.
[21:31] Blade
    It must have been frustrating.
[21:33] Blade
    This time, it'll be fair and square.
[21:36] Blade
    Go on and see just how
    tough we humans can be.
[21:38] Blade
    Show everyone what your strengths are!
[21:54] Earnest
    Everyone!
[21:55] Earnest
    Here we go!
[21:56] Group
    Yes, ma'am!
