**[00:02] Mile**
Pauline-san doesn't seem to be anywhere.
**[00:05] Reina**
Where'd she go?
**[00:07] Mavis**
I hope she isn't caught up
in some kind of trouble.
**[00:12] Lenny**
Mavis-san, a letter's arrived for you.
**[00:18] Mavis**
Thank you.
**[00:19] Lenny**
No problem.
**[00:22] Mavis**
Oh, it's from my younger older brother.
**[00:24] Mile**
"Younger older brother"?
**[00:26] Mavis**
I have three older brothers, you see.
**[00:29] Mavis**
I call them my elder older brother, middle
older brother, and younger older brother.
**[00:33] Mile**
You do?
**[00:35] Mavis**
My brothers worry about me,
so they send me letters every day.
**[00:41] Mavis**
See?
**[00:42] Mile**
Every day?
**[00:44] Reina**
That's a little...
**[00:46] Mavis**
Well, they always write the same thing.
**[00:52] Mavis**
He's written saying to come home again.
**[00:56] Mile**
Is something wrong?
**[00:58] Mavis**
My younger older brother's getting married.
**[01:00] Mile**
Oh! Congratulations!
**[01:02] Reina**
Is he marrying a noble?
**[01:06] Mavis**
The daughter of the Beckett Company...
**[01:09] Mavis**
Huh?
**[01:11] Mavis**
Pauline?
**[01:12] Girls**
What?
***SIGN*** Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities
Average in the Next Life?!
***SIGN*** Episode 8
***SIGN*** No One Mentioned That Pauline's
Getting Married, Did They?!
**[02:53] Mother**
Pauline!
**[02:54] Alan**
Onee-chan!
**[02:58] Pauline**
Mother!
**[02:59] Pauline**
Alan!
**[03:05] Company head**
Welcome back.
***SIGN*** How was your Hunter training?
***SIGN*** It's time for you to make yourself useful to us, Pauline.
**[03:22] Mavis**
My family, the family of Count Austien,
is a military family.
**[03:27] Mavis**
As the kingdom's sword and shield,
**[03:30] ---**
we've won many battles.
**[03:32] Mile**
That's a distinguished family line.
**[03:35] Reina**
So why would someone from the military
nobility marry the daughter of a merchant?
**[03:40] Mavis**
That's...
**[03:43] Company head**
Waging war always requires money.
**[03:48] Company head**
As far as Count Austien is concerned,
the more patrons the better.
**[03:51] Company head**
And we get that much closer
to the royal family, you see?
**[03:58] Company head**
Viscount Boardman!
***SIGN*** Is that any way to look at your own parent?
**[04:04] Pauline**
Parent? What are you saying?
***SIGN*** As a count's family and a merchant's are a poor match for each other,
***SIGN*** you will become my adopted daughter.
***SIGN*** As a viscount's daughter, Pauline Boardman, you will be married.
**[04:17] Pauline**
Just how much do you plan to
take advantage of my family?
***SIGN*** What else do you expect? It is the reason I've kept all of you, after all.
***SIGN*** Do your best to be useful.
***SIGN*** It would be best not to turn your magic against me.
***SIGN*** Look.
***SIGN*** The reason I allowed you to go to the Hunter training school
**[04:42] ---**
was to increase your value as merchandise.
**[04:45] Company head**
That's right!
***SIGN*** Thanks to that, I've found a good prospect.
***SIGN*** When they heard the bride would be able to use magic, they were overjoyed.
**[04:53] Company head**
Overjoyed!
***SIGN*** The count will be here very soon.
***SIGN*** Be sure to behave yourself.
**[05:00] Company head**
Get it?
**[05:11] Mile**
This is Pauline-san's hometown?
**[05:14] Mavis**
It seems quite desolate.
**[05:16] Reina**
It's just like Lenny said.
**[05:19] (Flashback) Lenny**
They say that ever since that town got a
new company head, it's changed completely.
**[05:24] (Flashback) Lenny**
Please, be careful, okay?
**[05:26] Mile**
That new company head was
Pauline's father's enemy, right?
**[05:32] Reina**
Yes.
**[05:33] Reina**
Pauline was probably forced to come
back for a political marriage.
**[05:38] Mavis**
I know I should be happy that my younger
older brother's getting married,
**[05:42] Mavis**
but I don't want to do anything that
would trample on Pauline's feelings.
**[05:46] Mile**
In that case, should we proceed with the
intent of crushing this political marriage?
**[05:50] Reina**
No objections!
**[05:51] Mavis**
Of course.
**[05:52] Mile**
Now that's settled, first, we need
to gather information.
**[05:55] Reina**
It'd be nice if we could find
someone who knows all about it.
**[05:58] Small fry A**
Hey! You there. Ladies!
**[06:01] Small fry A**
This is your first time in this town, right?
**[06:03] Small fry B**
That means you gotta pay the
entrance fee and passage toll.
**[06:07] Small fry C**
If you don't have the money, we wouldn't
mind you paying with your bodies.
**[06:10] Small fry C**
Pant, pant...
**[06:11] Mile**
Another easy to read gang has appeared.
**[06:14] Small fry B**
We've been hired by this town's company head.
**[06:18] Small fry C**
Go against him and things'll get rough.
**[06:21] Small fry C**
Pant, pant...
**[06:22] Mile**
Someone who knows all about it!
**[06:24] Mile**
Um, if we stay here, everyone will see.
That's embarrassing, so...
**[06:28] Mile**
Could we go over there?
**[06:33] Small fry**
We're sorry!
**[06:35] Mile**
We'd like to ask a few questions. Is that okay?
**[06:38] Reina**
If you answer them nicely,
we'll settle for only half-killing you.
**[06:43] Small fry**
We're already half-dead.
**[06:45] Mavis**
Tell us everything you know about your master,
the company head that runs this town.
***SIGN*** Thank you for coming, Count Austien.
**[06:55] Company head**
Thank you so much for agreeing
to marriage talks with us.
**[07:00] Company head**
We of the Beckett Company have,
for a long time,
**[07:03] ---**
wished to pursue an amicable
relationship with your lordship.
**[07:06] Pauline**
*I could bring these two down at any time.*
**[07:07] Company head**
Now that you're here,
**[07:09] Pauline**
*But then Mother and Alan would...*
**[07:10] ---**
I can assure you that you will be
not only completely satisfied,
**[07:12] ---**
but overjoyed with this arrangement.
**[07:12] Pauline**
*I have to find a way to help them get away.*
**[07:15] Austien**
I've only come today to meet the bride.
**[07:19] Austien**
Would it be the lady there?
**[07:21] Company head**
Yes!
**[07:22] Company head**
Introduce yourself.
**[07:25] Pauline**
My name is Pauline.
**[07:27] Austien**
Right.
**[07:28] Austien**
Will you allow the two of us a
little time to speak in private?
***SIGN*** Of course.
***SIGN*** Pauline, make sure you mind your manners.
**[07:41] Pauline**
U-Um, was there something you wanted from me?
**[07:45] Austien**
"The Crimson Vow"... I think that was it.
**[07:47] Pauline**
What?
**[07:48] Austien**
I know that you are a Hunter
who works with my daughter.
**[07:52] Pauline**
Count Austien...
**[07:55] Pauline**
So you *are* Mavis-san's father.
**[07:58] Austien**
That's right. And...
**[08:00] Austien**
I do not approve of Mavis being a Hunter.
**[08:05] Austien**
Perform your duties, and don't
try anything uncalled for.
**[08:09] Austien**
This is a warning.
**[08:11] Pauline**
Do you know about me, too?
**[08:14] Austien**
My reach extends further than all of you think.
**[08:19] Austien**
Understand?
**[08:26] Pauline**
* I can't give up now,*
* after everything that's happened!*
**[08:31] Mile**
Things are worse than I thought.
**[08:33] Reina**
Yes...
**[08:34] Reina**
Hoarding merchandise. Monopolies.
Hiking prices unfairly.
**[08:39] Reina**
Those who oppose him are sent to prison
with no chance to defend themselves.
**[08:42] Reina**
The company head here is exhausting
every limit of evildoing.
**[08:47] Mavis**
And since he's connected to the
local lord, Viscount Boardman,
**[08:50] ---**
he can get away with whatever he wants.
**[08:52] Mile**
Even setting Pauline-san's situation aside,
this is unforgivable.
**[08:55] Mile**
Let's go storm the place now!
**[08:57] Mavis**
Yes!
**[08:58] Reina**
Calm down.
**[09:00] Reina**
We're up against a viscount this time.
**[09:02] Reina**
This is really bad.
**[09:04] Reina**
If we mess up, we'll all be fugitives.
**[09:07] Mile**
That's... not something we want.
**[09:10] Mavis**
We wouldn't be able to work
as the Crimson Vow anymore.
**[09:13] Reina**
We have to move carefully here.
**[09:20] Mile**
They just have to not know
we're the Crimson Vow, right?
**[09:24] Reina**
Well. I guess.
**[09:25] Mile**
Then leave it to me!
**[09:28] Nano**
I feel like Mile-sama is trying to kill
the seriousness of the situation again.
**[09:46] Mavis**
A single flower blooming in the morning mist!
**[09:49] Mavis**
Morning Dress Mask!
**[09:51] Reina**
A single flower blooming in the sunlight!
**[09:54] Reina**
Afternoon Dress Mask!
**[09:56] Mile**
A single flower blooming in the moonlight!
**[09:59] Mile**
Evening Dress Mask!
**[10:03] Nano**
Oh, dear. I knew it.
**[10:05] Mile**
We nailed it!
**[10:06] Reina**
With these on, it won't matter
if people see our faces!
**[10:09] Mavis**
Yes. That's Mile for you.
**[10:14] Private troops**
Intruders!
**[10:15] Private troops**
Engage! Engage!
**[10:18] Mile**
Oh! Oh no!
**[10:34] Mile**
How many of you are there?
**[10:41] Pauline**
I wonder what's happened.
**[10:43] Mother**
Pauline!
**[10:44] Pauline**
Mother!
**[10:46] Pauline**
Where are the guards?
**[10:47] Mother**
They went to help with the trouble outside.
**[10:50] Mother**
It appears something dreadful is happening.
**[10:53] ---**
I seized the opportunity and escaped.
**[10:55] Pauline**
What about Alan?
**[10:56] Mother**
He's safe.
**[10:57] Mother**
I asked someone I could trust,
who got him out of here.
**[11:01] Pauline**
I'm so glad.
**[11:02] Mother**
I'm so sorry that I'm making
you go through all of this.
**[11:06] Pauline**
Don't be. I made friends I can
trust at the Hunter school.
**[11:11] ---**
I was very happy.
**[11:13] Pauline**
I should be apologizing for not having
fulfilled my duty as a daughter yet.
**[11:18] Mother**
You... You couldn't be...
**[11:21] Company head**
Oh! So this is where you are!
**[11:23] Company head**
My lord viscount! She's over here!
**[11:26] Pauline**
Mother, you should hide.
***SIGN*** What do you think you're doing here?
***SIGN*** Sit quietly in your room.
**[11:34] Pauline**
What's going on outside?
**[11:36] Company head**
It's probably just some rabble from
town who oppose the way we do things.
***SIGN*** Looks like we'll have to levy some more heavy taxes,
**[11:43] ---**
and show them who their masters are.
**[11:48] Pauline**
Are you sure this is all right?
**[11:50] Pauline**
Count Austien is here, yet you've
caused an incident like this.
**[11:54] Company head**
It's nothing for you to worry about.
**[11:57] Company head**
Right now, the full military force of
this mansion is out there cleaning it up.
**[12:01] Pauline**
The full military force...
**[12:02] Pauline**
Then there aren't any
soldiers in here, are there?
**[12:06] Company head**
Of course not!
**[12:08] Pauline**
I see. Not one.
**[12:11] Pauline**
That means...
**[12:12] Pauline**
Right now, I can bid the two
of you a proper farewell.
**[12:16] Pauline**
Ice Javelin!
***SIGN*** Don't do anything stupid!
***SIGN*** Don't you care what happens to your mother and little brother?
**[12:27] Mother**
Don't worry.
**[12:30] Mother**
I'm right here.
**[12:32] Company head**
What? Why are you here?
**[12:34] Company head**
What happened to the guards?
**[12:36] Pauline**
Mother!
**[12:37] Mother**
Yes!
***SIGN*** Don't come any closer!
**[12:42] Mile**
This is revenge.
**[12:45] Mile**
This is revenge.
**[12:48] Pauline**
That voice...
***SIGN*** Wh-What's this?
**[12:55] Mile**
This is for revenge!
***SIGN*** Wh-What are you talking about?
**[13:00] Company head**
Who are you?
**[13:02] Mavis**
We are champions of justice! The Crimson Vow!
**[13:05] Mile**
The Crimson Fountains of Blood!
**[13:07] Reina**
Hey! Why are you telling them our name?
**[13:10] Mavis**
Sorry, it just slipped out.
**[13:12] Mile**
I wonder if they figured it out.
***SIGN*** Crimson Fountains of Blood?
**[13:16] Company head**
What an evil name for a party!
**[13:18] Mile**
Thank goodness. We're okay.
**[13:21] Pauline**
*They all came for me!*
**[13:24] Austien**
What is all the commotion I've been hearing?
***SIGN*** Count Austien!
***SIGN*** Th-This is...
**[13:32] Pauline**
This is revenge!
**[13:34] Pauline**
Two and a half years ago,
**[13:35] ---**
Viscount Boardman and the others here
hired thieves to kill my father.
**[13:40] Pauline**
They forged documents and
took over the company.
**[13:43] Pauline**
And now, they're committing every
injustice imaginable against this town
**[13:46] ---**
in order to line their own pockets!
**[13:48] Company head**
How dare you say such things?
***SIGN*** This girl seems to have taken leave of her senses.
***SIGN*** Please allow us to handle this matter.
**[13:57] Pauline**
My lord count! Please, listen to me!
**[14:03] Austien**
I have heard both parties' arguments.
**[14:06] Austien**
There is no further need for words!
**[14:11] Austien**
Both sides should prove their
righteousness with the sword!
**[14:14] Pauline**
Of course!
***SIGN*** What?
**[14:20] Pauline**
I am Pauline. To avenge my father,
I am prepared to risk everything.
**[14:26] Pauline**
And to my friends who stand
by me in my vengeance,
**[14:29] ---**
entrusting me with their lives
and futures, I give my thanks.
***SIGN*** This girl!
**[14:35] Company head**
I'll kill you before you can use your magic!
***SIGN*** What is this?
**[14:45] Company head**
I'm sinking!
***SIGN*** Wh-When did you cast the spell?
**[14:51] Pauline**
Earlier, while I was praying.
**[14:54] Pauline**
You don't have to say a
spell aloud, you know.
**[14:56] ---**
You can just think it in your head.
**[14:58] Pauline**
Didn't you know that?
***SIGN*** Y-You can use shadow casting?
***SIGN*** That advanced technique where you don't chant the spell?
**[15:05] Pauline**
Yes!
**[15:08] Company head**
Oh, I stopped.
**[15:12] Pauline**
Count your transgressions.
**[15:24] Pauline**
Mother...
**[15:26] Mother**
Pauline... It's all over.
**[15:28] Pauline**
Yes.
**[15:30] Pauline**
My lord count, thank you very much.
**[15:34] Mother**
With this, my late husband can rest easy.
**[15:37] Austien**
Gratitude is unnecessary.
I knew of their evil deeds.
**[15:40] Austien**
This just happened to be a good
opportunity to pass judgment on them.
**[15:44] Austien**
My true objective lies elsewhere.
**[15:47] Austien**
When I first heard of these marriage
talks from Viscount Boardman,
**[15:50] Austien**
and learned that you were the other
party involved, I began planning.
**[15:55] Austien**
Meeting at the Hunter school...
**[15:57] ---**
The progress of the Crimson Vow...
**[15:59] Austien**
Your bonds are strong.
**[16:01] ---**
And for that very reason, you would not
fail to rescue a friend in dire straits.
**[16:06] Austien**
Isn't that right, Mavis?
**[16:08] Mavis**
I am a single flower blooming
in the morning mist!
**[16:11] Mavis**
Morning—
**[16:12] Austien**
I am your father. You can't fool me.
**[16:15] Mile**
To think someone could see
through these perfect disguises.
**[16:18] Reina**
Is this the bond between parent and child?
**[16:21] Nano**
Thinking that these masks
would work as a disguise...
**[16:24] Nano**
You've all been completely Mile-sama-ified.
**[16:28] Austien**
You're coming home, Mavis.
**[16:30] Mavis**
Father...
**[16:32] Mile**
Please, wait. Mavis-san is important
to us as a teammate and a friend.
**[16:36] Reina**
Don't just take her away with you!
**[16:38] Austien**
This is a family matter.
**[16:40] ---**
You have no say in it.
**[16:42] Austien**
If you want to pretend to be a knight,
I'll see you get some lessons.
**[16:47] Austien**
Come back home.
**[16:48] Mavis**
Father...
**[16:52] Mavis**
No.
**[16:54] Mavis**
The Crimson Vow is not a game.
**[16:56] Mavis**
I want to become a true knight.
**[16:59] Austien**
You don't even know what a knight
really is, and you say such things...
**[17:04] Austien**
Teach her how a sword should be used.
**[17:05] knights**
Yes, sir!
**[17:07] Knight A**
My lady!
**[17:08] Knight B**
Please forgive us.
**[17:09] Mavis**
Godspeed Sword! 1.2x speed!
**[17:14] Austien**
What?
**[17:16] Mavis**
With this, I'm sure you understand.
**[17:18] Mavis**
The person I am now is not the person you knew.
**[17:21] Mavis**
Everything is thanks to my master there.
**[17:28] Mile**
Me?
**[17:29] Austien**
She's your master?
**[17:31] Mavis**
That's right, Father!
**[17:33] Austien**
Interesting.
**[17:34] Austien**
In that case, if she's stronger than me,
**[17:37] ---**
I'll let you have your way for a while.
**[17:40] Mavis**
What? Father, does that mean...
**[17:47] Mile**
How did things turn out like this?
**[17:49] Mavis**
I'm sorry, Mile!
**[17:51] Austien**
Here I come!
**[17:55] Mile**
*He's fast.*
**[17:56] Reina**
Your dad seems pretty strong...
**[17:58] Mavis**
It's because he's always going off to battle.
**[18:01] Mavis**
My father's swordwork was forged on
the battlefield, gained through real combat.
**[18:09] Austien**
What's wrong? Is this all you've got?
**[18:11] Mile**
Um, could I have a moment?
**[18:13] Austien**
What is it?
**[18:14] Mile**
It's a lot harder to move
than I thought it would be.
**[18:18] Mile**
And it's hard to see.
**[18:20] Mile**
Okay! Here I come!
**[18:23] Austien**
What?
**[18:27] Mile**
Oh, you stopped me.
**[18:28] Mile**
Then I'll go faster.
**[18:32] Austien**
*Her form is haphazard.*
**[18:34] Austien**
* You can't call it swordwork,*
* but she's got power and speed.*
**[18:38] Austien**
*This strength... It's not human!*
**[18:41] Austien**
*And yet!*
**[18:46] Austien**
Whoever you are, you will return Mavis to me!
**[18:49] Mile**
Why do you go so far to oppose her?
**[18:51] Austien**
Hunters can die at any moment!
**[18:54] Austien**
You think I'd stand by and
let Mavis become one of them?
**[18:58] Austien**
I raised Mavis.
**[19:00] Austien**
Dancing, singing,
playing musical instruments...
**[19:03] Austien**
She learned every skill she
would need to enter society.
**[19:05] ---**
I made her the perfect lady!
**[19:08] Austien**
What does she have to be unhappy about?
**[19:10] Mile**
Mavis-san doesn't want any of that!
**[19:14] Austien**
Whether she wants it or not, I have
decided that it will make Mavis happy!
**[19:18] Mile**
That is an outdated way of thinking!
**[19:25] Austien**
I knew it. You are no ordinary girl.
**[19:27] Austien**
Are you a dwarf? A half-breed?
**[19:30] Mile**
I'm just a normal, average human girl!
**[19:33] Austien**
That's a lie!
**[19:35] Mile**
It's the truth!
**[19:42] Mile**
End of match.
**[19:46] Austien**
A man does not go back on his word.
**[19:48] Reina**
She did it!
**[19:51] Mavis**
Father...
**[19:54] Mavis**
For loving me, for taking care of me,
**[19:58] ---**
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
**[20:01] Mavis**
But even so, I want to become a knight.
**[20:04] Mavis**
A knight like you. No...
A knight even greater than you.
**[20:08] Mavis**
So, please—
**[20:09] Austien**
Miss Master.
**[20:11] Mile**
Huh? Oh, me?
**[20:14] Austien**
Please take care of my daughter, Mavis.
**[20:17] Mile**
Oh, I'm still not much
good at anything, but...
**[20:20] Mavis**
Father...
**[20:23] Mavis**
Thank you!
**[20:27] Girls**
Mavis!
**[20:28] Mavis**
Guys! I'm looking forward to
continuing to work together!
**[20:31] Mile**
Am I Mavis-san's guardian now?
**[20:37] Pauline**
Well, I'll be off now.
**[20:38] Mother**
Take care of yourself.
**[20:40] Alan**
Onee-chan, leave the company to me!
**[20:42] Pauline**
I'm counting on you, Alan.
**[20:48] Alan**
Work hard! You can do it!
**[20:53] Austien**
Mavis...
**[20:55] Austien**
Mavis!
**[21:01] Austien**
Mavis! No, please don't go!
**[21:05] Mile**
Mavis-san, your father really is chasing
after us with everything he's got.
**[21:09] Pauline**
The way you cry is exactly the same!
**[21:11] Mavis**
Driver, please make the cart go faster!
**[21:14] Austien**
Wait!
**[21:17] Mile**
Don't you feel a little
sorry for him, Mavis-san?
**[21:21] Mavis**
He's fine. He did the same thing
when I left for the Hunter school.
**[21:24] Mavis**
So did my brothers. All of them together.
**[21:26] Reina**
I see.
**[21:28] Mile**
Pauline-san, are you sure
you're okay with this?
**[21:31] Reina**
You have to rebuild the company
from scratch, don't you?
**[21:34] Pauline**
As long as my mother's there,
everything will be fine.
**[21:36] Pauline**
And my little brother is going to take over.
**[21:39] Mavis**
I know how it sounds coming from me,
**[21:41] ---**
but isn't it lonely,
being away from your family?
**[21:43] Pauline**
I can come back anytime.
**[21:46] Pauline**
And the Crimson Vow, all of you,
to me you're already family.
**[21:56] Pauline**
Thank you for coming to save me.
**[21:59] Reina**
W-We're family, so... you shouldn't
just go off on your own!
**[22:03] Mile**
Reina-san, you sure you should
be the one saying that?
**[22:05] Reina**
No one asked you!
***SIGN*** Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities
Average in the Next Life?!
