[00:02] Lemia
    "Bloody Rhapsody."
[00:04] Lemia
    There was once a battle known by that name.
[00:07] Lemia
    There were skirmishes on the border
    between the Gargen Empire
[00:11] ---
    and the Holy Scatolith Empire
    two hundred years ago.
[00:14] Lemia
    That's where it all started.
[00:17] Lemia
    While they believed that battle
    would end quickly,
[00:20] Lemia
    in short time, it sent tremors
    through both nations.
[00:25] Lemia
    They suddenly lost all
    control of their soldiers,
[00:29] Lemia
    who started slaying both their
    enemies and each other,
[00:31] ---
    and moved on to slaughter noncombatants.
[00:34] Lemia
    They became berserk warriors
    and began their rampage.
[00:37] Lemia
    It was the worst battle in history.
[00:40] Lemia
    By the time that wave of
    slaughter finally ended,
[00:43] Lemia
    there were over 700,000 dead on both sides.
[00:57] Lemia
    What caused those soldiers to go berserk
    was unknown at the time,
[01:01] Lemia
    but it would seem it was caused
    by mind control.
[01:03] Muller
    Mind control?!
[01:05] Muller
    But that's...
[01:06] Lemia
    Yes. Mind control doesn't fall under
    any element of magic.
[01:11] Lemia
    Which means...
[01:12] Lemia
    This is caused by black magic,
    the power wielded by some dark being.
[01:18] Muller
    Then...
[01:19] Lemia
    Unless we crush the source of this spell,
    it can't be undone.
[01:24] Lemia
    Until we manage that, these men will
    continue to feel no emotion and no pain,
[01:28] Lemia
    only the thirst for blood
    and the urge to slaughter.
[01:45] Lemia
    If we don't stop them here,
[01:48] Lemia
    then they'll march on the royal capital,
    Wennifix, and even further onward,
[01:53] ---
    until hundreds of thousands of lives are lost.
[02:04] Shade
    Now I'm looking forward to this.
SIGN    Episode 12 Isekai Cheat Magician
[02:16] Susora
    They don't know when to quit!
[02:18] Susora
    How are you holding up?!
[02:19] Rin
    Do you even need to ask?
[02:21] Rin
    They just keep coming,
    no matter how many I defeat!
[02:24] Susora
    You're being soft and refusing
    to kill them, aren't you?
[02:28] Rin
    I'm...
[02:30] Rin
    I know it's naïve.
[02:33] Rin
    But I want to use this power
[02:37] Rin
    to save people!
[02:42] Susora
    Heh. You're soft.
[02:44] Rin
    Susora...
[02:46] Rin
    You said you were hired, right?
[02:49] Susora
    Yeah.
[02:50] Rin
    Care to change employers
    and work for me, then?
[02:52] Susora
    What?
[02:53] Rin
    The job is fighting alongside me.
[02:56] Rin
    It'll be over once we both survive this.
[03:00] Rin
    Well?
[03:01] Rin
    Not a bad deal, right?
[03:05] Susora
    I like you. I'll take it.
[03:07] Susora
    I'll settle for my survival as the reward.
[03:10] Rin
    We have a deal, then!
[03:11] Susora
    Yeah, so now what do we do?
[03:14] Rin
    Right. First off...
[03:19] Rin
    Let's regroup with our allies.
[03:32] Aery
    I took a look, Taichi.
[03:35] Taichi
    How are they?
[03:35] Aery
    Not good. They're being driven back.
[03:38] Aery
    The soldiers under that spell are too strong.
[03:42] Taichi
    Figures.
[03:43] Taichi
    They don't even care if they get injured.
[03:46] Taichi
    That puts us at a big disadvantage.
[03:48] Aery
    Yeah.
[03:49] Dortesheim
    Why do you hesitate?!
[03:51] Dortesheim
    We must prevent a recurrence
    of that tragedy at all costs!
[03:58] Dortesheim
    It might be cruel, but it's unavoidable.
[04:01] Dortesheim
    That spell Inimicus used...
[04:03] Dortesheim
    It's not something a human
    can typically handle.
[04:08] (Flashback) Ininimicus
    I have but one master alone!
[04:11] (Flashback) Ininimicus
    None other than that woman!
[04:13] (Flashback) Ininimicus
    The supreme being who watches
    over this entire world!
[04:19] Taichi
    You're saying "that woman"
    is lending him power?
[04:23] Dortesheim
    I can't think of any other possibility.
[04:26] Dortesheim
    Taichi, she caused this war in order to
    drive you into a corner
[04:29] ---
    by putting you in this predicament.
[04:33] Taichi
    All this for that?!
[04:36] Aery
    Taichi...
[04:41] Dortesheim
    It's ironic.
[04:44] Dortesheim
    I can tell exactly what my brother,
    Gilmar, is thinking right now.
[04:55] ---
    My brother... no, our king
    will have ordered thus:
[05:00] ---
    "Stop them, even if it costs our full army."
[05:05] ---
    "Even if it means sacrificing
    every citizen in Elistain."
[05:12] ---
    I've destroyed our nation
    in trying to protect it.
[05:17] ---
    I'll surely be remembered as a villain.
[05:23] Taichi
    In that case, we just need to stop them here.
[05:29] Aery
    Taichi?
[05:34] Taichi
    If some cheat granted me this power,
[05:39] Taichi
    then I want to use it to protect.
[05:44] Taichi
    To protect the people precious to me.
[05:57] Taichi
    To protect my friends.
[06:00] Sumella
    Charge!
[06:02] Taichi
    If I have the power to destroy a nation,
[06:05] Taichi
    then I want to transform it
    into the power to save one.
[06:10] Taichi
    "There are times when those with
    power must achieve something,
[06:15] ---
    even if means great sacrifice."
[06:18] Dortesheim
    You...
[06:19] Taichi
    You said that, right?
[06:22] Taichi
    I'll do it.
[06:26] Aery
    Taichi?
[06:28] Taichi
    Hey, Aery.
[06:31] Taichi
    I finally understand what it means to
    accept power too great for one man.
[06:38] Taichi
    I'm sorry, Rin.
[06:40] Taichi
    But if it's to protect you, then...
[06:48] Aery
    No!
[06:57] Taichi
    Please move, Aery.
[06:59] Taichi
    I'm the reason all of this has happened.
[07:02] Taichi
    So I have to...
[07:06] Aery
    No, I won't move.
[07:08] Aery
    You're not at fault, Taichi. I am.
[07:14] Aery
    I'm truly sorry.
[07:17] Taichi
    Why are you apologizing?
[07:19] Aery
    I'm sorry, Taichi.
[07:21] Aery
    I've been lying to you.
[07:24] Taichi
    Lying?
[07:25] Aery
    This form of mine is only a temporary one.
[07:28] Aery
    It's not the real me.
[07:32] Aery
    Your power is incredible.
[07:34] Aery
    It's so incredible I was scared.
[07:37] Aery
    I didn't know what you would become
    if I lent you the power of my true self.
[07:42] Aery
    If you failed to control it,
    it could prove disastrous.
[07:46] Aery
    It might even kill you.
[07:50] Taichi
    Aery...
[07:51] Taichi
    Then what are you saying?
[07:53] Aery
    So now it's goodbye, Taichi.
[07:58] Aery
    It's time to bid goodbye to me as Aery.
[08:02] Taichi
    Goodbye?
[08:03] Aery
    Don't give me that look.
[08:06] Aery
    I always knew, after all.
[08:08] Aery
    Your desire to protect
    what's precious to you...
[08:10] Aery
    Your resolve and those
    strong feelings are genuine.
[08:14] Aery
    You accepted me completely.
[08:17] Aery
    So now it's my turn.
[08:22] Aery
    Don't worry.
[08:24] Aery
    I'm just becoming my true self.
[08:27] Aery
    That's the most joyous thing
    of all for spirits like us.
[08:35] Aery
    Thank you, Taichi.
[08:38] Aery
    Thank you.
[08:39] Taichi
    Aery?!
[08:40] Aery
    Call for me, my master.
[08:43] Aery
    My true name is...
[08:56] Rin
    Taichi!
[08:57] Taichi
    Rin?!
[08:58] Rin
    Taichi, thank goodness you're safe!
[09:07] Rin
    Hold on! What?!
[09:09] Taichi
    I'm sorry.
[09:11] Taichi
    I let you get hurt by taking so long.
[09:16] Taichi
    Does your leg hurt?
[09:18] Rin
    Huh? Oh, this?
[09:20] Rin
    It's fine. It's no big deal.
[09:26] Taichi
    Even so...
[09:30] Taichi
    I'm going to end this battle,
    no matter what it takes.
[09:35] Taichi
    I'm going to end this,
[09:36] Taichi
    and I'm going to protect everyone
    and everything we hold dear.
[09:50] Taichi
    It's time to say goodbye to being human.
[09:57] Taichi
    Honor our pact and answer my call.
[10:01] ---
    Summon Elemental: Sylphid!
[10:11] ---
    Summon Elemental: Sylphid!
[10:39] Soldier
    Ngh... What?
[10:41] Soldier
    Huh?
[10:42] Soldier
    What was I...
[10:43] Lemia
    I'm shocked.
[10:45] Lemia
    I've lived many years, but this is the
    first time I've seen something like this.
[10:49] Muller
    What in the world...
[10:51] Lemia
    Watch closely, Muller. This...
[10:55] Lemia
    is the moment a true Summoner is born.
[11:00] Susora
    Well, this is a surprise.
[11:10] Sylpheed
    It's my first time meeting
    you in this form, Taichi.
[11:13] Taichi
    Oh, uh...
[11:15] Taichi
    Aery...
[11:17] Taichi
    Oh, no, you're Sylphid now, right?
[11:20] Sylpheed
    Please call me "Sylphie"
    from now on, my master.
[11:24] Rin
    Aery became Sylphid?
[11:26] Susora
    Hey, wait! Sylphid is the Queen of Spirits,
[11:30] Susora
    one of the Four Grand Spirits!
[11:33] Taichi
    Did Aery...
[11:34] Taichi
    Did she vanish?
[11:36] Sylpheed
    No.
[11:38] Sylpheed
    My memories and feelings from when
    I was Aery are still right here.
[11:42] Taichi
    Then...
[11:43] Sylpheed
    That's right, Taichi!
[11:45] Sylpheed
    Aery and I are still the same person!
[11:48] Taichi
    I see.
[11:51] Taichi
    Rin...
[11:52] Taichi
    I'm sure you have a lot of questions,
     but I'll explain later.
[11:56] Rin
    Yeah.
[11:58] Taichi
    I'm glad.
[12:00] Taichi
    Looks like I was able to
    break the spell with that.
[12:02] Rin
    With Ae—
[12:03] Rin
    With Sylphid's power?
[12:05] Taichi
    Yeah.
[12:06] Taichi
    But this isn't over yet.
[12:09] Taichi
    This battle isn't finished until
    I've smacked around the man responsible
[12:13] ---
    for casting that spell.
[12:17] Ininimicus
    Yes, I feel it!
[12:19] Ininimicus
    That woman's grand love!
[12:22] Ininimicus
    You're granting to it me, Inimicus!
[12:27] Ininimicus
    Your supreme love!
[12:32] Taichi
    Hey, Rin.
[12:36] Taichi
    You'll be on my side
    no matter what happens, right?
[12:46] Rin
    Of course I will.
[12:48] Rin
    I'm on your side,
[12:50] Rin
    whenever and wherever.
[12:54] Taichi
    Thanks.
[13:00] Susora
    Hey, if you're going to flirt,
[13:02] Susora
    could you save it for after
    you've beaten that monster?
[13:07] Susora
    Once that's done, I don't
    care if you kiss her
[13:09] ---
    or push her down to take her right here.
[13:12] Rin
    W-Well, then...
[13:14] Taichi
    Y-Yeah, leave it to me.
[13:18] Taichi
    Sylphie!
[13:20] Sylpheed
    Yeah.
[13:22] Taichi
    Let's go.
[13:23] Sylpheed
    Of course.
[13:29] Taichi
    Wow! You've done it, Inimicus.
[13:32] Taichi
    So you've said goodbye to
    being human too, huh?
[13:35] Inimicus
    Splendid!
[13:36] Inimicus
    Now you can live up to her expectations.
[13:40] Inimicus
    Wonderful! Wonderful, boy!
[13:44] Taichi
    What is your goal?
[13:46] Taichi
    Who on earth is this woman?
[13:49] Inimicus
    She is one of great mercy,
    who reigns over this world!
[13:53] Taichi
    Listen, I'm asking you...
[13:59] Taichi
    What exactly does all that mean?!
[14:03] Inimicus
    You fool.
[14:04] Inimicus
    You have yet to realize who you are.
[14:08] Inimicus
    You've heard the spirits
    since birth, young boy.
[14:14] Inimicus
    Why do you think you were
    summoned to this world?
[14:17] Taichi
    Because...
[14:19] Inimicus
    Because you were chosen by that woman!
[14:24] Inimicus
    Everything that has led
    you up to this moment
[14:27] ---
    was orchestrated by that woman.
[14:29] Inimicus
    Even the princess who summoned you
    was no more than a pawn to that end.
[14:34] Inimicus
    In due time, the great battle will begin,
    and this world will be turned inside out.
[14:38] Inimicus
    When it does, light and dark will invert,
[14:41] ---
    and that woman shall appear as our savior!
[14:45] Inimicus
    That is why you were chosen.
[14:48] Inimicus
    This world, Altia, needs the ultimate weapon
    for it to continue to exist as Altia.
[14:53] Inimicus
    So you have been chosen
    by this world to become
[14:58] ---
    that woman's shield and sword!
[15:02] Taichi
    So ultimately, who is this
    person you keep referring to?
[15:06] Inimicus
    It is not yet the time
    for you to know her name.
[15:10] Taichi
    What's this about being the ultimate weapon?
[15:12] Taichi
    Cut the crap.
[15:13] Taichi
    What the hell do you think I am?
[15:16] Inimicus
    What are you saying?
[15:17] Inimicus
    It's the greatest honor.
[15:21] Taichi
    I won't accept that!
[15:26] Rin
    Taichi...
[15:28] Taichi
    What's this savior nonsense?!
[15:32] Inimicus
    Oh...
[15:33] Inimicus
    It is just as we hoped!
[15:35] Taichi
    Quit spewing out whatever
    damn nonsense you please!
[15:38] Taichi
    Do you not give a damn about other lives?!
[15:44] Taichi
    When you heartlessly
    take the lives of others,
[15:48] Taichi
    you can't be the savior of anything!
[15:51] Taichi
    Like I care about all this
    talk about the world!
[15:54] Taichi
    I just want to protect those precious to me!
[15:57] Taichi
    The friends I chat and share my days with...
[16:01] Taichi
    The people longing for tiny,
    commonplace happiness...
[16:05] Taichi
    I want to protect...
[16:08] Taichi
    people like them!
[16:22] Inimicus
    Indeed, you truly are...
[16:25] Inimicus
    I'm grateful.
[16:27] Inimicus
    Now I can fulfill my duty.
[16:32] Inimicus
    Just a little more...
[16:34] Inimicus
    Come, boy. Deliver the final blow.
[16:43] Inimicus
    I knew it.
[16:44] Inimicus
    You cannot kill another person.
[16:47] Inimicus
    That is your final weakness.
[16:52] Taichi
    You think so?
[16:56] Taichi
    Power comes at a price.
[16:59] Taichi
    That is the principle behind
    magic in this world, isn't it?
[17:05] Taichi
    The dragon already told me to grow stronger
    if I want to protect what's precious to me.
[17:11] Taichi
    So I made my decision.
[17:12] Taichi
    I'm going to get stronger,
    and not for anyone but myself.
[17:19] Taichi
    Sorry, I just...
[17:23] Taichi
    said goodbye to being human.
[17:27] Inimicus
    Yes, Lady Shade...
[17:29] Inimicus
    I've finally done it.
[17:32] Inimicus
    I, Inimicus, have successfully fulfilled...
[18:09] Rin
    Taichi?
[18:10] Muller
    You're awake?
[18:15] Taichi
    Huh?
[18:16] Taichi
    Uh...
[18:17] Lemia
    The battle's over.
[18:20] Lemia
    Thanks to you, Taichi.
[18:26] Taichi
    Was I asleep again?
[18:30] Taichi
    That reminds me.
    What about your hurt leg, Rin?
[18:32] Rin
    Don't worry, Lemia used
    her healing magic on me.
[18:36] Rin
    It won't even leave a scar.
[18:37] Taichi
    I see.
[18:39] Taichi
    Thank you, Lemia.
[18:41] Lemia
    Hmph. I couldn't go and let my
    dear apprentice become scarred.
[18:48] Charlotte
    Taichi!
[18:49] Alsena
    Your Highness, it's bad manners
    to enter without permission.
[18:52] Charlotte
    Oh, I'm so glad you're finally awake.
[18:56] Taichi
    Oh, sure.
[18:58] Lemia
    I told them it was just magic power depletion,
    and that they didn't need to worry.
[19:01] Lemia
    Though they still came
    to visit you every day.
[19:04] Lemia
    That day you came back from the battlefield
     unconscious, she was especially...
[19:07] Charlotte
    Lemia, please, no more!
[19:10] Lemia
    Rin and Muller were just as bad.
[19:12] Lemia
    You were going to recover in time,
    but they did all kinds of things for you.
[19:16] Lemia
    I'm jealous, Sir Hero.
[19:20] Alsena
    My!
[19:25] Taichi
    While there were many losses on both sides,
[19:28] Taichi
    the battle that took place on Marwalt Plains
    resulted in King Gilmar's victory.
[19:34] Taichi
    The town regained its former life,
[19:37] Taichi
    and the royal capital, Wennifix,
    was returning to its normal state.
[19:42] Taichi
    Also,
[19:44] Taichi
    as per our agreement,
[19:45] Taichi
    we were provided with ample rewards and
    even the title of Advisor to the Royal Army,
[19:50] Taichi
    placing us within the ranks of the royal
    army as special forces to be summoned
[19:55] ---
    only when the kingdom was in danger.
[20:00] Taichi
    Peace had once again returned
    to Elistain Magic Kingdom.
[20:06] Taichi
    But...
[20:09] Gilmar
    Do you have any last words, my brother?
[20:14] Dortesheim
    I did what needed to be done.
[20:17] Dortesheim
    I have no regrets.
[20:19] Gilmar
    I see.
[20:22] Lodra
    Now, for your final prayer...
[20:24] Dortesheim
    There's no need.
[20:28] Dortesheim
    Long live our motherland!
[20:40] Lemia
    What's the matter?
[20:41] Taichi
    Oh, nothing.
[20:43] Lemia
    You're not thinking you should have been
    able to handle that better, are you?
[20:48] Taichi
    Well...
[20:50] Lemia
    Stop acting like a baby.
[20:54] Lemia
    Humans aren't perfect.
[20:57] Lemia
    But those who possess power beyond
    that of the average person
[21:00] ---
    will occasionally be forced
    to make hard choices.
[21:04] Lemia
    What you've chosen and what
    you choose in those moments...
[21:07] Lemia
    You're going to make mistakes,
[21:09] ---
    but that's the pain you must accept.
[21:13] Taichi
    Pain?
[21:14] Lemia
    Yeah.
[21:17] Lemia
    As long as you still feel that,
[21:19] ---
    you'll remain human no matter
     how much power you wield.
[21:22] Lemia
    Be true to your heart.
[21:25] Lemia
    Doubt, worry, and face your dilemmas, Taichi.
[21:30] Lemia
    That's the privilege of youth.
[21:33] Lemia
    Now quit dawdling.
    We're heading home to Azpire.
[21:39] Rin
    Taichi...
[21:40] Muller
    Let's go.
[21:41] Taichi
    Yeah!
[21:47] Alsena
    Please have a pleasant journey.
[21:49] Taichi
    Yeah. Thank you for seeing us off.
[21:52] Charlotte
    Taichi, Rin...
[21:57] Charlotte
    I promise you.
[21:58] Charlotte
    Someday, I will return you two to your world.
[22:03] Taichi
    Yeah, we're counting on it.
[22:04] Rin
    But please don't push yourself too hard.
[22:07] Taichi
    Uh-huh.
[22:08] Taichi
    I rather like my life here, too.
[22:11] Rin
    We have precious friends here as well!
[22:14] Charlotte
    Yes, thank you very much.
[22:20] Alsena
    A hero from another world
    that will save the country...
[22:23] Alsena
    I never imagined that legend would come true.
[22:25] Charlotte
    Yes.
[22:26] Charlotte
    What I've done can never be forgiven...
[22:31] Charlotte
    But...
[22:33] Charlotte
    For now, I should just be grateful we met.
[22:39] Rin
    Wow!
[22:40] Rin
    You can get smaller even as Sylphie.
[22:42] Sylpheed
    Yeah. If you ask me,
    this form is more convenient.
[22:47] Sylpheed
    I like it, too.
[22:48] Muller
    I still can't believe you suddenly
    controlled one of the Four Grand Spirits.
[22:52] Rin
    Seriously. Taichi's cheating too much.
[22:56] Muller
    By the way, Rin...
[22:57] Muller
    I've wondered this for a while...
[22:59] Muller
    What does "cheat" mean
    when you use it that way?
[23:01] Taichi
    The civil war crisis was over.
[23:02] Rin
    Oh, you don't use the word
    that way in this world, do you?
[23:03] Taichi
    Yet, frankly, my anxieties remained.
[23:06] Taichi
    Who on earth is "that woman"?
[23:08] Rin
    Originally, we used it the way you do,
    to indicate trickery, fraud, or sly cunning...
[23:09] Taichi
    What did he mean by "great battle"
    and the world turning inside out?
[23:13] Muller
    Yeah?
[23:13] Taichi
    For now, I still don't know.
[23:14] Rin
    But the way we use it now
    it slightly different.
[23:15] Taichi
    But there's one thing that is clear.
[23:18] Rin
    Hmm, it's hard to explain, actually...
[23:19] Taichi
    I'm going to use this power to
    protect those precious to me.
[23:24] Taichi
    And I don't care if it is cheating.
[23:30] Taichi
    Rin and I will do what we must
    in order to survive in this world.
[23:35] Taichi
    That's all.
