[00:17] ---
    I guess Kujo's gone to the library again?
[00:22] ---
    I wonder what kind of girl Victorique is...
[00:30] ---
    Stupid Cécile! Let me go!
[00:33] ---
    H-Hey! Victorique!
[00:35] ---
    Be careful!
[00:38] ---
    Ms. Cécile? Victorique?
[00:41] ---
    Kujo! Help me!
[00:44] ---
    I thought as long as she
    was down from the library,
[00:46] ---
    she could come by the classroom
    and say hello to everyone.
[00:51] ---
    I'm never going to that classroom!
[00:54] ---
    Why not?
[00:55] ---
    I just don't want to!
[00:58] ---
    Don't want to! Don't want to!
[01:00] ---
    Don't want to!
[01:04] ---
    And so,
[01:06] ---
    here's the girl you've been waiting for!
[01:07] ---
    Your friend and classmate,
[01:09] ---
    Victorique!
[01:27] ---
    It seemed like it had
    been decided long before

[01:33] ---
    It seemed like we knew long ago
[01:39] ---
    As if we followed an invisible line
[01:45] ---
    We were led to each other,
    to an intersecting saison

[01:50] ---
    Like how light and dark
    are two sides of the same coin

[01:56] ---
    I was captivated by mystification
[02:02] ---
    When I turned around toward the voice
    that whispered in my ear

[02:08] ---
    The door had opened before I realized
[02:13] ---
    Like joining a little
    chance with inevitability

[02:19] ---
    Two histoires were set into motion, ah
[02:31] ---
    Continuing on forever
[02:43] ---
    Victorique? The Victorique?
[02:45] ---
    The one from the library tower?
[02:46] ---
    The Gray Wolf?
[02:48] ---
    That girl is Victorique?
[02:52] ---
    Her skin is so fair and smooth.
[02:54] ---
    Her cheeks are the color
    of roses from a dream.
[02:57] ---
    That long hair, brilliant and gold...
[03:00] ---
    Those tiny hands and feet...
[03:02] ---
    She's like a doll crafted by God himself!
[03:06] ---
    Avril and everyone behind her,
    could you please move back one seat?
[03:11] ---
    Victorique, you should sit next to Kujo.
[03:14] ---
    This way, Victorique.
[03:24] ---
    What's wrong, Avril?
[03:27] ---
    G-Good morning!
[03:28] ---
    Good morning. We'll talk later.
[03:29] ---
    Everyone.
[03:31] ---
    The truth is, this morning, a rather
    disturbing incident took place,
[03:35] ---
    so class will be off all day today.
[03:38] ---
    What's going on?
[03:40] ---
    Is she tense?
[03:43] ---
    Hey... Are you okay?
[03:45] ---
    Are you feeling sick?
[03:47] ---
    Hey...
[03:49] ---
    What's with you? Can't you answer?
[03:52] ---
    Or do Gray Wolves not
    understand human language?
[03:56] ---
    Hey. Gray wolf.
[03:59] ---
    Wolf girl. Demon.
[04:01] ---
    Demon!
[04:07] ---
    Impudent fool! Do not touch me!
[04:12] ---
    Don't do that, Victorique!
[04:23] ---
    "Episode 14" "The Ill-Tempered Frill
    Condemns the Farting Newt"
[04:27] ---
    I'm glad it wasn't serious.
[04:29] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[04:33] ---
    Hey, apologize.
[04:36] ---
    I will not.
[04:38] ---
    U-Um, Kujo...
[04:41] ---
    You could have hurt Avril.
[04:43] ---
    Come on!
[04:44] ---
    It's not like that.
[04:45] ---
    Listen, I--
[04:47] ---
    This woman is a farting newt.
    I do not talk to newts.
[04:52] ---
    Victorique! Come on. Apologize!
[04:57] ---
    Kujo!
[04:58] ---
    I'm just trying to teach farting
    Victorique here how things are done.
[05:03] ---
    I won't let go until you apologize.
[05:06] ---
    You... half-baked talent...
[05:10] ---
    You no-good mediocrity...
[05:11] ---
    No! It's not like that!
[05:15] ---
    Oh, my!
[05:18] ---
    A murder in the clock tower?
[05:20] ---
    So another strange thing
    happened yesterday.
[05:23] ---
    It might be Leviathan's ghost after all!
[05:26] ---
    Words I'd expect from a farting newt.
[05:29] ---
    Victorique!
[05:31] ---
    Th-That reminds me.
[05:32] ---
    I thought it was weird how you got so mad
    and chased us out of the library.
[05:39] ---
    This isn't the first time
    someone's died in that tower.
[05:44] ---
    That's why.
[05:45] ---
    It's happened before?
[05:47] ---
    This is the fifth time.
    They all died in that room.
[05:51] ---
    With that purple bruise on
    their right index finger...
[05:55] ---
    Autopsies always reveal that it's
    death by poison through that finger.
[06:02] ---
    When did the first incident occur?
[06:05] ---
    Around the turn of the century, I believe.
[06:08] ---
    That's around the time Leviathan
    left the tower, isn't it?
[06:11] ---
    Did the victims have anything in common?
[06:15] ---
    They were all outsiders, I suppose.
[06:18] ---
    For instance, new teachers, visitors,
    trespassing travelers...
[06:26] ---
    Where are you going?
[06:26] ---
    Where else? The clock tower.
[06:29] ---
    The riddle of Leviathan can only be
    brought to light in the clock tower.
[06:34] ---
    My wellspring of wisdom knows that.
[06:38] ---
    Wait! I'll go with you!
[06:40] ---
    Kujo? I'll go, too!
[06:52] ---
    Well, well!
[06:54] ---
    You're out of the library.
[06:56] ---
    What could it mean?
[06:59] ---
    I received a challenge from
    the alchemist, Leviathan.
[07:03] ---
    Leviathan?
[07:05] ---
    U-Um... You've got bugs...
[07:07] ---
    I-I was in a hurry, so I
    hardened it with sugar water.
[07:11] ---
    This was the result.
[07:12] ---
    Inspector, where are you going?
[07:15] ---
    Returning to the station.
    The investigation is over.
[07:18] ---
    Huh? Already?
[07:20] ---
    Kujo. Could I have a moment?
[07:26] ---
    This school only began to accept
    transfer students like you a few years ago.
[07:31] ---
    For hundreds of years,
    foreigners were forbidden here.
[07:36] ---
    Why?
[07:38] ---
    Once, the educational institution here
    was a front for a secret royal armory.
[07:44] ---
    People and research that
    could not be made public.
[07:47] ---
    It's been a hiding place for
    this country's dark history.
[07:52] ---
    All kinds of things we don't
    want to see brought up again.
[07:55] ---
    Leviathan is one of those.
[07:58] ---
    And that's why you're not investigating?
[08:00] ---
    It's all for the Kingdom of Saubure.
[08:03] ---
    And...
[08:06] ---
    Kujo.
[08:07] ---
    If my little sister attempts
    to interfere in this incident,
[08:11] ---
    I want you to stop her.
[08:13] ---
    We don't know what
    danger might be lurking.
[08:16] ---
    Danger? What do you mean, danger?
[08:19] ---
    I mean, powerless little squirrels would be
    better off waiting quietly with my sister.
[08:25] ---
    Now, excuse me.
[08:28] ---
    Danger... Dark history?
[08:31] ---
    Hey, Kujo! Let's go to the village
    and investigate the case!
[08:35] ---
    Huh? Sure, okay.
[08:40] ---
    You should come too, Victorique.
[08:44] ---
    I'm not going.
[08:48] ---
    You can go anywhere you want with Kujo,
[08:50] ---
    you farting newt!
[08:55] ---
    Victorique, apologize to Avril.
[08:58] ---
    I will not!
[08:59] ---
    Victorique!
[09:00] ---
    It's okay, Kujo.
[09:02] ---
    I'm the one who...
[09:04] ---
    Avril, you shut up.
[09:06] ---
    Victorique, I thought you
    were a nicer girl than this.
[09:10] ---
    I thought you were my closest friend!
[09:14] ---
    My closest...
[09:17] ---
    So... please, Victorique.
[09:22] ---
    Fine. I'm done with you.
[09:26] ---
    U-Um...
[09:28] ---
    Hey, are you sure you won't come with us?
[09:33] ---
    Th-Then we'll compete!
[09:35] ---
    We'll see which of us can solve
    the alchemist's riddle first. Okay?
[09:42] ---
    Well... L-Later.
[10:12] ---
    Kujo... You idiot...
    You got too angry.
[10:16] ---
    You're mean.
[10:37] ---
    I see...
[10:39] ---
    That's right.
[10:40] ---
    Leviathan.
[10:53] ---
    Closest friend, huh?
[10:58] ---
    Maybe I went too far...
[11:05] ---
    Hey! There are a bunch
    of names written here.
[11:09] ---
    Does that mean they were
    all buried together?
[11:12] ---
    Yes, 500 years ago.
[11:17] ---
    That's a Protestant grave.
[11:19] ---
    It's from when the Catholics
    and the Protestants fought.
[11:24] ---
    They were all killed
    in this village together.
[11:26] ---
    Oh?
[11:28] ---
    The old buildings in this area still contain
    secret rooms for hiding Protestants.
[11:35] ---
    So, what are you looking for?
[11:38] ---
    Actually...
[11:39] ---
    The graves of the outsiders
    who died in the clock tower?
[11:43] ---
    They don't exist.
[11:45] ---
    Only the people of the village
    are buried here.
[11:48] ---
    Really?
[11:50] ---
    Thank you very much.
[11:54] ---
    It happened when I was still a child.
[11:59] ---
    Avril...
[12:01] ---
    Don't be frightened.
[12:02] ---
    In this graveyard... I saw...
[12:05] ---
    ...an invisible spirit!
[12:11] ---
    So? How can you see
    something that's invisible?
[12:14] ---
    Well, you see...
[12:24] ---
    I definitely heard the footsteps,
[12:27] ---
    but I couldn't see anyone.
[12:30] ---
    Just on the ground...
[12:36] ---
    Judging from the footprints,
    it must have been a child's spirit.
[12:40] ---
    --Oh, Avril, really.

    Hey, Kujo! What are you doing here?
[12:56] ---
    Miss Sophie? What are you doing here?
[12:58] ---
    I came to visit a grave, obviously.
[13:00] ---
    Kujo, are you...
[13:02] ---
    ...on a date?
[13:03] ---
    N-No!
[13:06] ---
    By the way, what was that song?
[13:53] ---
    Who are you?
[13:54] ---
    A traveler searching for something.
[13:57] ---
    You couldn't have lost anything here.
[14:00] ---
    But I did. A beautiful monster.
[14:03] ---
    Monster?
[14:07] ---
    That red hair...
[14:09] ---
    You were the companion of the
    Oriental man who died here, aren't you?
[14:13] ---
    Yes, the illusionist Kai Wong.
[14:16] ---
    Ever heard of him?
[14:17] ---
    No.
[14:19] ---
    Wong was intrigued by the film
    The Illusion in the Black Tower.
[14:23] ---
    It seems he snuck into this tower,
    which the film was based on.
[14:27] ---
    Are you an illusionist as well?
[14:30] ---
    How did you know?
[14:32] ---
    Because I'm the monster.
[14:34] ---
    Then you know who I am?
[14:37] ---
    I do.
[14:38] ---
    What you're after, and the name
    of the person with you.
[14:43] ---
    Very impressive.
[14:46] ---
    There is nothing that I do not know.
[14:48] ---
    You are nothing but a tool.
[14:52] ---
    What could a tool raised
    without love understand?
[14:58] ---
    There is nothing that I do not know.
[15:06] ---
    What are you two doing here?
[15:09] ---
    Who are you?
[15:09] ---
    A carpenter.
[15:11] ---
    One of the higher-ups
    asked me to check this place out
[15:13] ---
    and see if it needs tearing down.
[15:15] ---
    It's such an old building.
    It's dangerous for you to be in here.
[15:20] ---
    I see. We'll be careful.
[15:29] ---
    There's something I want
    you to investigate.
[15:33] ---
    We really learned a lot, huh?
[15:35] ---
    Yeah.
[15:39] ---
    H-Huh?
[15:40] ---
    Kujo?!
[15:51] ---
    Victorique!
[15:53] ---
    Victorique!
[15:55] ---
    Huh? Hey! Victorique!
    You hear me, right?
[16:00] ---
    I brought you a souvenir.
[16:02] ---
    Another strange hat, is it?
[16:06] ---
    It's a raspberry sandwich.
[16:15] ---
    Kujo... runs surprisingly... fast.
[16:18] ---
    So, they say the old buildings have
    hidden rooms that Protestants would use.
[16:22] ---
    And there's an African song.
    Do you know it?
[16:25] ---
    Apparently even children
    in this town know it.
[16:29] ---
    They say it's a song about the Africans
    who used to live in this area.
[16:33] ---
    They don't know where it
    came from, or what it means,
[16:37] ---
    but they were all over the place,
    and then they all died out.
[16:40] ---
    Yes, that was toward the end of 1873.
[16:45] ---
    At the start of the next year,
    the previous king died.
[16:50] ---
    I remember that very well.

[17:30] ---
    Kujo!
[17:31] ---
    A-Avril...
[17:32] ---
    I said it was a competition!
[17:34] ---
    Why are you telling her
    everything we found out?
[17:37] ---
    I thought things might go better
    if we pooled our information.
[17:42] ---
    Is the farting newt back?
[17:45] ---
    What was that, you nasty frill?
[17:48] ---
    N-Nasty frill? What does that mean?
[17:51] ---
    I don't know!
[17:52] ---
    Anyway, did I beat you on insults?
[17:57] ---
    Fine. Then let's reveal our conclusions.
[18:01] ---
    I think Leviathan's spirit
    is wandering the clock tower.
[18:06] ---
    He doesn't want outsiders coming in.
[18:09] ---
    But didn't Leviathan disappear after
    getting shot by poisoned arrows?
[18:13] ---
    I think he's really still alive,
    and is killing people for some reason.
[18:18] ---
    You're both idiots.
[18:22] ---
    Wh-What was that?!
[18:26] ---
    You in particular.
    There's no such thing as ghosts.
[18:29] ---
    Get a grip.
[18:30] ---
    Then you think he's still alive,
    like Kujo said?
[18:34] ---
    Leviathan's long dead.
    He just hid his death.
[18:40] ---
    He wasn't invincible or anything.
[18:43] ---
    His alchemy was a parlor trick, too.
[18:45] ---
    That's not true!
[18:47] ---
    Leviathan was an alchemist!
[18:49] ---
    --He was really cool!
[18:50] ---
    --Avril, calm down!
[18:52] ---
    It's true that he turned a white rose blue.
[18:56] ---
    That's right!
[18:58] ---
    He did it in front of the king and
    the queen and all those people!
[19:02] ---
    Then let me show you his trick.
[19:06] ---
    And when I do, feel free to die from
    embarrassment over your frivolity.
[19:14] ---
    Now, now.
[19:20] ---
    She'll never do it!
[19:32] ---
    No way!
[19:34] ---
    H-How?
[19:41] ---
    Cotton?
[19:42] ---
    If you press ink through the cut stem,
[19:45] ---
    you can dye a white rose
    the same color as the ink.
[19:48] ---
    It's a very simple trick.
[19:51] ---
    No way!
[19:53] ---
    So Leviathan's really dead?
[19:56] ---
    I've already seen through
    most of his trick.
[20:00] ---
    But not all of it.
[20:03] ---
    I'm waiting for the last fragment
    I need to reconstruct everything.
[20:08] ---
    The last fragment?
[20:21] ---
    Brian...
[20:23] ---
    Yes, a man named Brian Roscoe.
[20:26] ---
    The descendant, Brian Roscoe,
    came here ten years ago.
[20:30] ---
    Ten years ago is roughly
    when that picture was taken.
[20:35] ---
    H-Hey, I just remembered
    something I have to do!
[20:38] ---
    W-Wait, Kujo!
[20:59] ---
    Victorique?
[21:02] ---
    I'm sorry I called you a demon.
[21:06] ---
    You're really incredible.
[21:08] ---
    I think I might be kind of stupid. You know?
[21:14] ---
    What do you think?
[21:16] ---
    You are definitely stupid.
[21:20] ---
    But...
[21:21] ---
    ...you are free.
[21:24] ---
    L-Look, I started thinking...
[21:26] ---
    ...if Kujo is with a girl
    like you all the time,
[21:29] ---
    he'll start thinking I'm really stupid.
[21:33] ---
    And so, basically...
    what I'm trying to say is...
[21:39] ---
    Don't take Kujo away from me!
[21:43] ---
    F-Forget I said that!
    I didn't say anything!
[21:51] ---
    Thank goodness.
[21:55] ---
    Ah, youth!
[22:03] ---
    "Thou who hast found this book in the future.
[22:07] ---
    Art thou a man? A woman?
[22:10] ---
    An adult? A child?"
[22:12] ---
    It means, powerless little squirrels would be
    better off waiting quietly with my sister.
[22:18] ---
    Can I help you, boy?
[22:27] ---
    "Thou must continue my story.
[22:32] ---
    And thus know...
[22:35] ---
    ...the story of my sin.
[22:37] ---
    And my regret."
[22:44] ---
    Whenever, wherever,
    let us start a new journey

[23:04] ---
    I awakened a soul that was almost lost,
    confide in you

[23:13] ---
    Holding tight to the days we spent together
[23:23] ---
    Whenever, wherever,
    we draw close to each other

[23:32] ---
    There is nothing to fear,
    we will split the darkness between us

[23:43] ---
    Because my steady heartbeat tells me so
[23:52] ---
    Until we meet again,
    may my feelings be with you
