[00:59] Girl
Daddy!
[01:05] Emilia
That's enough!
[01:52] Emilia
Stop right now!
[01:55] Emilia
Sto—
[01:57] Emilia
Please!
[02:27] Emilia
Thank goodness. They'll be fine now, right?
[02:31] Girl
No!
[02:34] ---
Daddy! Daddy!
[02:36] Emilia
Are you all right?
[02:37] Dad
S-Stay away!
[02:42] Mom
Silver hair...
[02:44] Mom
Long ears...
[02:45] Mom
Bluish-purple eyes...
[02:47] Mom
Wi...
[02:48] Girl
Witch...
[02:49] Girl
Witch! The witch! She's the witch!
[02:51] Girl
The witch! The witch! The witch! The witch!
[02:52] Emilia
Wait! I'm—
[02:54] Girl
She's the witch! She's the witch! The witch!
[02:56] Girl
She's the witch! The witch! She's the witch!
[02:59] Girl
She's the witch! The witch!
The witch! The witch!
[02:59] Emilia
No... Stop...
[03:01] Girl
Don't come near us, witch! Go away!
[03:04] Girl
Witch! Witch!
[03:05] Girl
Witch of Envy!
[03:07] Emilia
Stop!
[03:10] Emilia
No!
[03:17] Emilia
This is my power?
[03:20] Emilia
What happened to that family?
[03:31] Emilia
Silver hair...
[03:33] Emilia
Long ears...
[03:35] Emilia
Bluish-purple eyes...
[03:38] Emilia
If there are going to be people who
get so scared when they see me...
[03:52] Emilia
I'll just stay here forever.
[04:12] Puck
Is something wrong, Lia?
[04:18] Emilia
No.
[04:19] Puck
Oh, I bet today's date was no fun, huh?
[04:23] Puck
Yeah, I get that.
[04:25] Puck
You're bound to be disappointed after your
first date was with a guy like Subaru.
[04:30] Emilia
It's not that.
[04:32] Emilia
I was just remembering something
that happened long ago, that's all.
[04:37] Emilia
It has nothing to do with Subaru.
[04:39] Puck
I see.
[04:41] Puck
You've been seeing lots of snow sculptures
[04:43] ---
since this snow festival
started yesterday, after all.
[04:45] Emilia
Yeah.
[04:46] Emilia
So I was just thinking...
[04:52] Emilia
about everyone who's still in the forest.
SIGN The Frozen Bond
[07:45] Boy
Here it comes!
[07:53] Girl
The girl from the forest?
[07:54] Boy
Shh! She'll hear you.
[07:56] Boy
Let's go.
[08:08] Old
Oh, it's you.
[08:12] Emilia
The usual, please.
[08:14] Old
Yeah, sure.
[08:26] Old
And shoes?
[08:28] Emilia
Huh?
[08:30] Old
Shoes. Need new ones?
[08:36] Emilia
Y-Y-Yes, please!
[08:39] Emilia
As you can see, the last ones you
sold me are pretty worn out...
[08:45] Old
There.
[08:46] Emilia
Thank you!
[08:53] Emilia
I think I talked twice as much as usual today.
[08:59] Emilia
Goodnight.
[09:11] Puck
Sheesh...
[09:12] Puck
Day after day, here you are,
working your tail off.
[09:16] Emilia
You have a way of saying things
that make them sound so awful,
[09:21] Emilia
spirit.
[09:23] Puck
It's true that I'm a spirit,
[09:25] Puck
but when it's between you and me,
that's not the name you should use.
[09:31] Emilia
Puck.
[09:32] Puck
Yes, well done!
[09:33] Puck
It makes me happy when you call me that,
[09:35] Puck
Emilia.
[09:39] Emilia
You didn't show up yesterday.
Did anything happen?
[09:42] Puck
Yesterday was my day off.
[09:43] Puck
You may be constantly busy,
but I take breaks sometimes.
[09:46] Puck
Huh?
[09:47] Puck
You have new shoes. Did you go to the village?
[09:50] Emilia
Yeah, I did!
[09:52] Emilia
He noticed my shoes before
I even said anything!
[09:55] Puck
I bet he just remembers because
[09:58] ---
you always ruin your shoes
right after you get them.
[10:01] Puck
He's probably pretty exasperated by it.
[10:04] Emilia
Even if that's why, it's a big step forward.
[10:08] Emilia
If I keep this up,
[10:10] Emilia
I might be able to talk
about the weather soon...
[10:14] Puck
You poor girl...
[10:16] Puck
Does the weather even mean
anything around this forest?
[10:20] Puck
It's always either cloudy or snowing.
Nothing else happens.
[10:25] Emilia
That's fine.
[10:26] Emilia
Just being able to do simple
things like that is a big deal.
[10:30] Puck
You know, Emilia, you work
far harder than you need to.
[10:33] Emilia
I have lots of things to do.
[10:36] Emilia
After I take care of everyone,
I inspect the forest,
[10:39] Emilia
and I have to make a map, too.
[10:41] Puck
If you ask me,
[10:43] ---
it wouldn't hurt to ease up a little and
allow yourself some self-indulgence.
[10:46] Emilia
Self-indulgence? I don't know why,
but I hate the sound of that.
[10:50] Puck
If you don't like self-indulgence,
[10:51] ---
how about living a slothful life?
[10:53] Puck
Wait... that's a word I can't stand,
[10:56] ---
for some reason.
[11:02] Puck
Shouldn't you get a new one of these, too?
[11:06] Puck
Want me to make you a much nicer
robe with magic woven into it?
[11:10] Emilia
It's all right. That one is important to me.
[11:14] Emilia
To make sure I never forget that day...
[11:18] Puck
What does that mean?
Was it a present from a boy?
[11:21] Puck
If it is, I just might get jealous.
[11:24] Emilia
It's not that.
[11:25] Puck
It's not?
[11:28] Puck
You won't tell me, then?
[11:32] Emilia
Even I have my secrets.
[11:34] Emilia
Things you don't need to know.
[11:36] Puck
I wish you'd trust me a little more...
[11:41] Puck
I've been in my physical form longer
than usual, and now I'm sleepy.
[11:46] Emilia
Yes, yes. Goodnight, lazy Puck.
[11:55] Emilia
You always make it look like you're
dying when you disappear.
[11:59] Emilia
You learn the silliest things.
[12:27] Emilia
Puck, look!
[12:29] Emilia
There are so many shiny stones!
[12:31] Emilia
This is the jackpot!
[12:35] Emilia
This feels really nice!
[12:39] Emilia
It's almost like cleaning out someone's ear.
[12:42] Puck
That's the impression you get
from such pretty stones?
[12:45] Puck
I can't say I dislike that.
[12:47] Puck
Don't take too many, though.
[12:49] Puck
It'll make them less valuable.
[12:52] Emilia
There are still so many parts of
the forest that I don't know.
[12:56] Emilia
I had no idea there was a nearly untouched
mine in the Doddering Thicket.
[13:01] Emilia
The snow here in the Meandering
Forest seems deeper than before.
[13:05] Emilia
It's harder to walk through.
[13:07] Puck
Um, do you ever feel like you should
give these places different names?
[13:11] Emilia
Why?
[13:12] Emilia
It makes them easier to remember later.
[13:14] Emilia
I think they're good names.
[13:16] Puck
I do agree with that,
[13:18] Puck
but it might be embarrassing
it anyone else saw them.
[13:20] Puck
Plus, they're really simplistic.
[13:23] Puck
Meander, meander... Meander, meander...
[13:24] Emilia
No complaining!
[13:25] Puck
Meander, meander... Meander, meander...
[13:26] Emilia
This is my map, so I'll name things as I like.
[13:29] Puck
Meander, meander...
[13:32] Emilia
I should have plenty of
shiny stones for a while.
[13:36] Emilia
Thanks to you, Puck, my forest
inspection today went really well.
[13:46] Emilia
Hey, Puck...
[13:48] Emilia
Are you already asleep for the day?
[14:06] Puck
Disappear.
[14:13] Puck
She still needs more time.
[14:17] Puck
If possible... forever.
SIGN To watch over her from afar is
the compromise between your existence
and your wish
[14:32] Emilia
I'm scared... I'm scared!
[14:42] Emilia
That dream again...
[14:47] Puck
What are your plans today, Emilia?
[14:49] Emilia
Why ask? You already know.
[14:51] Emilia
Same as every day.
[14:53] Puck
I see. Sorry for asking.
[14:56] Emilia
You're so mean, Puck.
[15:04] Puck
Emilia, I can't stay with you today.
[15:08] Puck
Don't do anything dangerous, all right?
[15:11] Emilia
That's what I should say to you.
[15:13] Emilia
Don't follow any strangers, or...
[15:18] Puck
If anything happens,
[15:20] Puck
don't think about what you can do.
Just think about running away.
[15:23] Puck
If it seems dangerous, don't hesitate. Just run.
[15:26] Puck
Understand?
[15:32] Emilia
Sure. I'll be all right.
[15:47] Emilia
A snow blight...
[15:48] Emilia
And this is fresh.
[15:50] Emilia
It's probably best to stay away
from this area for a while.
[16:13] Chap
We finally found you!
[16:16] Emilia
It's dangerous to go beyond this point.
[16:18] Emilia
If you don't want to get hurt,
[16:20] ---
just turn around and go home.
[16:21] Chap
You expect us to just say, "Yes,
ma'am," and do as you say?
[16:26] Chap
There are a lot of perverts in this world.
[16:29] Chap
Perverts who'd love to throw
a pretty elf in a cage,
[16:32] Chap
and have their way with her!
[16:37] Chap
Damn... Doing business with a
demihuman living in this forest?
[16:41] Chap
The people in that village are guilty
of some pretty serious crimes.
[16:45] Chap
Right?
[16:47] Emilia
What do you mean? What do the
villagers have to do with this?
[16:50] Chap
Everything, that's what!
[16:52] Chap
You guys lost in the war against the demihumans.
[16:54] Chap
You don't have any rights!
[16:57] Chap
Just breathing in the vicinity
of a superior human is a crime!
[17:01] Emilia
Did you do something to the villagers?
[17:03] Chap
We didn't do a thing.
[17:05] Chap
Of course, if that changes depends
on the answer you give us.
[17:09] Chap
You'll have to pay for the villagers'
crime of assisting a demihuman
[17:12] Chap
with your own body!
[17:15] Chap
So, what do you say?
[17:17] Chap
It doesn't matter either way to me.
[17:19] Chap
We could always get the village girls
to pay with their bodies instead.
[17:23] Emilia
The villagers have nothing to do with this!
[17:25] Chap
Well, then, any of the other long-ears
in this forest would work, too!
[17:37] Emilia
All right.
[17:38] Chap
Let's see your face.
[17:40] Chap
What you look like is the most
important thing, y'know.
[17:44] Chap
Hurry it up!
[17:47] Emilia
I don't think I'll live up to your expectations.
[17:50] Emilia
When you see this...
[17:51] Emilia
Do you still want to put me in a cage?
[18:01] Chap
Silver hair...
[18:02] Chap
Bluish-purple eyes...
[18:03] Chap
A silver... elf?!
[18:06] Guy1
It's the witch!
[18:07] Guy2
The Witch of Envy!
[18:08] Guy3
She's just like the Witch of Envy!
[18:16] Chap
Oh, man, you're kidding me, right?
[18:18] Chap
This is even better than I imagined!
[18:20] Emilia
What's so funny?
[18:21] Chap
You! What else?!
[18:24] Chap
I don't even want to let anyone else have you!
[18:27] Chap
I'd like to keep you in a
cage myself until you die!
[18:38] Emilia
But if I run away now...
[18:44] Chap
Don't kill her, and don't hit her face!
It'll bring her value down!
[18:59] chap
Nice...
[19:02] Chap
Tantalizing.
[19:03] Chap
It looks like anxiety and doubt are
manhandling your heart just perfectly.
[19:08] Emilia
Please...
[19:10] Emilia
Get out of this forest right now.
[19:12] Emilia
And don't harm the village
or the people in it!
[19:16] Emilia
Then we can get along just fine.
[19:21] Chap
Huh?! What the hell gives you
the right to order us around?!
[19:25] Chap
I'm the one who should be giving orders,
[19:26] ---
and you should be taking them!
[19:28] Chap
Don't get that wrong!
[19:30] Emilia
I'm not wrong about—
[19:31] Chap
Shut up! Just get in this cage right now!
[19:36] Emilia
Please, let's just stop this now!
[19:38] Emilia
If this goes any further,
there'll be no going back!
[19:40] Chap
Huh?!
[19:41] Emilia
You have to get away from here right now!
[19:44] Emilia
This area is dangerous!
[19:46] Chap
What are you talking about?!
[19:50] Emilia
Run!
[20:05] Emilia
I told you!
[20:35] Emilia
Stop!
[20:37] Emilia
Please, stop right now!
[20:40] Emilia
Don't do bad things in this forest!
[20:43] Emilia
Don't soil it with blood!
[20:45] Emilia
I don't want anyone else to...
[21:37] Guy1
Wh-What was that?
[21:39] Chap
Did she... do that?
[21:44] Guy1
Wh-What's happening?!
[21:46] Guy1
What is this?!
[21:50] Chap
W-Wait! Wait!
[21:52] Chap
I'm sorry! I'm sorry, all right?!
[21:54] Chap
Please!
[22:01] chap
No!
[22:02] Chap
No! Help me!
[22:02] Emilia
No...
[22:03] Chap
Help me!
[22:04] Emilia
Please... stop.
[22:11] Emilia
Please understand...
[22:13] Emilia
Stop...
[22:16] Emilia
Help...
[22:18] Emilia
Someone!
[22:20] Puck
Failing to call my name the moment
this started is where you went wrong.
[22:28] Puck
Good grief...
[22:29] ---
I'm away for just a few minutes,
and this happens.
[22:33] Emilia
Puck...
[22:34] Puck
Yep, it's me!
[22:36] Puck
Your wonderful, adorable,
fluffy little kitty!
[22:41] Puck
Emilia,
[22:43] Puck
take a deep breath.
[22:44] Puck
You don't need to think about
anything but me right now.
[22:49] Emilia
Right...
[23:11] Puck
Now, why don't we discuss
what to do with all of you?
[23:17] Puck
I saved you guys out of
consideration for her feelings.
[23:23] Puck
She did everything she could
to keep you guys from dying,
[23:27] Puck
and I respected her wishes. That's all.
[23:31] Puck
If she hadn't been here,
[23:33] Puck
all of you would've been killed... by me.
SIGN But you are forbidden to excessively
interfere in her life
[23:53] Emilia
Puck!
[23:57] Emilia
Did Puck... save me?
[24:02] Emilia
The village! What about the village?!
[24:13] Emilia
No one... is here?
[24:18] Emilia
Hey!
[24:20] Old
I-I didn't have any choice!
[24:22] Emilia
Huh?
[24:22] Old
Forgive me!
[24:23] Old
Please forgive me!
[24:25] Old
I had to tell them about you,
or this village might have been...
[24:30] Old
Please, let this be the end of it!
[24:32] Old
Don't get anyone else involved!
[24:41] Emilia
Tell me just one thing.
[24:44] Emilia
Did those people do anything to this village?
[24:49] Emilia
They didn't hurt anyone, did they?
[24:52] Old
N-No...
[24:54] Old
No one was harmed,
[24:56] Old
and those people haven't been back here since!
[25:00] Emilia
I see. I'm glad to hear that.
[25:05] Emilia
Please, look up at me.
[25:13] Emilia
Don't forget this face,
or what you feel right now.
[25:18] Emilia
Never set foot in the Frozen Forest.
[25:21] Emilia
That place is my garden...
[25:26] Emilia
My forest.
[25:43] Emilia
Goodbye.
[25:47] Old
The witch of the white forest...
[25:51] Old
The Frozen Witch...
[26:02] Chap
I swear!
[26:03] Chap
I'm going to settle this!
[26:05] Chap
I'll teach that elf bitch to—
[26:07] Boss
You'll settle it, eh?
[26:10] Boss
In that case,
[26:13] Boss
there are other methods.
[26:15] Chap
Other methods?
[26:17] Puck
Instead of winning back the points you lost,
[26:19] Puck
paying for your mistakes would
settle the score, wouldn't it?
[26:25] Puck
That's the reaction I expected and then some.
[26:28] Puck
I can't say I dislike that.
[26:31] Chap
Wait, did you sell me out?!
[26:33] Boss
Don't make it sound so heinous.
[26:36] Boss
I received a word of caution
about settling the score
[26:39] Boss
from this spirit before
talking to you. That's all.
[26:43] Puck
Unlike this whiskered fellow,
[26:45] Puck
that whiskered fellow is quite sensible.
It was a big help.
[26:48] Chap
Y-You damn rotten cat!
[26:50] Puck
That's awfully crude, whiskers.
[26:52] Puck
You'd better choose your words
a little more carefully,
[26:55] Puck
or I'll punish you!
[26:59] Chap
Wh-What are you do—
[27:01] Puck
You saw those ice blooms
in the forest, didn't you?
[27:04] Puck
Want me to...
[27:05] Puck
make them bloom again?
[27:07] Chap
S-Stop!
[27:14] Puck
My name is Puck.
[27:16] Puck
At least remember my name... before you die.
[27:20] Boss
Could I ask you one last thing?
[27:24] Boss
Can I consider that forest to be your...
[27:26] Boss
to be the Beast of the End's territory?
[27:30] Puck
If you swear you'll never speak of
that name or what happened today,
[27:34] Puck
I'll tell you the answer is "yes."
[28:02] Emilia
Hey, Puck...
[28:04] Puck
Is something wrong?
[28:06] Emilia
Are you not afraid of me?
[28:10] Puck
You mean because you're so
cute that it scares me?
[28:13] Emilia
You always make everything into a joke.
[28:17] Puck
Listen, Emilia...
[28:22] Puck
Why not take this opportunity
to try leaving the forest?
[28:27] Puck
If you can't trade in that village anymore,
[28:30] Puck
you'll have trouble getting enough food.
[28:33] Puck
People have even started coming
to this forest to look for you.
[28:38] Puck
Doesn't this seem like a good time to move on?
[28:41] Emilia
I can't just go away and leave behind
all the people still sleeping here.
[28:46] Puck
You really are stubborn, you know that, Emilia?
[28:49] Emilia
Why do you want me out of this forest so badly?
[28:54] Puck
I just can't bear to keep
watching you punish yourself.
[28:56] Puck
I don't understand why you'd choose to stay
in a place that only makes you feel bad.
[29:01] Emilia
It doesn't only make me feel bad.
[29:04] Emilia
Besides...
[29:05] Emilia
Some things are important even
if they make you feel bad.
[29:08] Emilia
Am I wrong?
[29:14] Puck
In that case, I have a suggestion.
[29:17] Puck
Why don't I teach you how to
contract with a lesser spirit?
[29:22] Puck
It would be nice if I could be with
you whenever you're in trouble,
[29:26] Puck
but now we know that there are
times when that's impossible.
[29:30] Puck
If you have a lesser spirit, it can help you.
[29:34] Emilia
Does that mean...
[29:39] Emilia
Nothing. Never mind.
[29:41] Emilia
I guess I'll let you teach me, then.
[29:44] Puck
Just leave it to me!
[29:46] Puck
I'll pick one with a great personality
and a promising future!
[29:51] Emilia
Puck?
[29:58] Emilia
Puck, you're not...
[30:01] Emilia
going to leave me too, are you?
[30:29] Puck
So now you've sent not only eyes,
[30:32] Puck
but a part of yourself, I see.
[30:37] Melaquera
Discussion... unnecessary.
[30:42] Melaquera
I am... mediator, Melaquera.
[30:48] Melaquera
This forest... frozen land, magic...
[30:51] Melaquera
Ice blooms... countless... blooming.
[30:55] Puck
Don't exaggerate it so much.
[30:57] Puck
I was the one who did that.
[31:00] Puck
I feel bad about it, honest.
[31:02] Melaquera
All... your doing... speak lies.
[31:07] Puck
Why would I need to lie?
[31:09] Puck
Who besides me is even capable
of doing something so terrifying?
[31:14] Puck
Or...
[31:15] Puck
Would you like to find out for yourself?
[31:22] Melaquera
I... warn you...
[31:25] Melaquera
Omen of... destruction of balance...
[31:29] Melaquera
I am... mediator, Melaquera.
[31:32] Melaquera
Enforce judgment... perform mediation.
[31:36] Puck
You're incomprehensible.
In simpler terms, please?
[31:40] Melaquera
Witch...
[31:41] Puck
I understand your concern.
[31:43] Puck
If I see anything that looks like
that, I'll send you a letter.
[31:46] Puck
Just give me your address... er...
[31:49] Puck
What a shame.
[31:52] Puck
I don't think Melaquera
[31:54] Puck
has enough sense to just back down now.
[32:00] Puck
With me around to act as a front,
[32:02] Puck
it doesn't seem like he's
found out about Emilia.
[32:06] Puck
But if he comes after us
for real, it's all over.
[32:20] Emilia
I'm scared...
[32:23] Emilia
I'm scared!
[32:30] Puck
I'm sorry...
[32:32] Puck
I'm so sorry.
[32:36] Puck
I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
[32:40] Emilia
Why are you apologizing?
[32:44] Emilia
Why are you crying?
[32:49] Puck
Because I left you alone...
[32:52] Puck
Because I couldn't find you for all this time...
[32:58] Emilia
But... I'm right here.
[33:03] Emilia
What's your name?
[33:07] Puck
My name is...
[33:20] Emilia
Good morning, everyone.
[33:25] Emilia
Everyone?
[33:29] Emilia
Puck, are you here?
[33:31] Puck
Morning, Emilia!
[33:35] Emilia
Good morning, but please,
stop picking on them every morning.
[33:40] Puck
I'm not picking on them.
[33:42] Puck
I'm just doing what anyone
should do to cat burglars.
[33:46] Emilia
You're the cat, Puck.
[33:48] Emilia
And you're the one who said
I should contract with them.
[33:57] Puck
Are you still that sleepy
because you had a bad dream?
[34:01] Puck
What kind of dream did you have?
[34:03] Emilia
A dream about when I woke up.
[34:05] Puck
That's a funny way to put it.
[34:06] Puck
You mean it's a dream you have often, right?
[34:09] Emilia
Yeah. It always starts at the same point,
[34:12] Emilia
and ends at the same point.
[34:14] Emilia
I can't remember anything
that happened before I awoke
[34:17] Emilia
from within the ice, though...
[34:25] Emilia
Right here...
[34:27] Emilia
and right here, there are dips in the ground.
[34:31] Emilia
Right.
[34:33] Emilia
I'll call this place the Thorny Thicket.
[34:49] Emilia
A mabeast...
[34:50] Emilia
A guiltylowe.
[35:05] Emilia
What... is that?
[35:30] Emilia
I can't touch it!
[35:32] Emilia
I have to depend on all of you!
[35:38] Emilia
Please!
[35:58] Emilia
It was very strange water.
[36:00] Emilia
It completely dissolved
a mabeast in the forest.
[36:04] Puck
Black water?
[36:06] Puck
No, this is the venom of a black serpent.
[36:09] Emilia
This is just a tiny bit of it.
[36:10] Emilia
It was actually a lot bigger...
[36:13] Puck
I hate to say this, but you
didn't finish it off.
[36:17] Puck
It's still alive.
[36:19] Puck
Of course, I won't let it
get away with this, though.
[36:27] Puck
It seems to be a pretty persistent one.
[36:30] Puck
Anything less than this isn't
likely to take it down.
[36:36] Emilia
Wait... If this black water wasn't dead...
[36:39] Puck
The bigger part that you left
alive is probably on the run now.
[36:45] Puck
You won't get there in time.
[36:48] Emilia
Maybe not, but I can't just let it go!
[36:51] Emilia
All those people and animals
are in the forest.
[36:54] Emilia
The village is nearby, too!
[36:56] Puck
Didn't you and that village
cut ties with each other?
[36:59] Puck
I don't think you're obligated
to worry about them.
[37:01] Emilia
That's not right!
[37:06] Puck
You always want to put yourself at risk
for people you should just ignore.
[37:10] Puck
Your soft heart is a deadly disease.
[37:13] Emilia
Say whatever you want! I still—
[37:16] Puck
Don't worry.
[37:18] Puck
I'll go check things out.
[37:39] Puck
Well?
[37:40] Puck
If you want to make an excuse, let's hear it.
[37:42] Melaquera
Discussion... unnecessary.
[37:44] Melaquera
Refuse... answer.
[37:47] Puck
You can cling to your suspicion all
you want, but my answer won't change.
[37:51] Puck
There's no one in this forest but me.
[37:54] Melaquera
You lie... much.
[37:56] Melaquera
I am... mediator, Melaquera.
[37:59] Melaquera
Enforce judgment... perform mediation.
[38:03] Puck
You never give up, do you?
[38:05] Puck
Just do a sharp turn to the
right and go home now, horsey.
[38:09] Melaquera
Insult... mockery... absolute denial.
[38:12] Melaquera
I accept... war declaration.
[38:24] Emilia
Puck?
[38:35] Emilia
I can't just make Puck handle everything for me!
[38:47] Emilia
Please, lend me your aid again.
[38:55] Emilia
A red... lesser spirit?
[38:59] Emilia
You are a spirit, right?
[39:01] Emilia
Where are you going?
[39:02] ---
Is there something you want to tell me?
[39:27] Puck
Now you've done it!
[39:29] Puck
And now I'll return the favor!
[39:34] Melaquera
Judge evil! Judge criminals!
[39:37] Melaquera
Perform mediation!
[39:46] Puck
This is a lot worse than I expected...
[39:49] Melaquera
You... protect.
[39:52] Melaquera
You... conceal... half-demon.
[39:55] Melaquera
Silver witch...
[39:58] Melaquera
I already... possess.
[40:01] Puck
Melaquera...
[40:03] Puck
What did you do to her?!
[40:15] Emilia
No... This is too awful.
[40:24] Emilia
If it isn't stopped, it'll engulf
the entire forest...
[40:25] Emilia
and even the village.
[40:31] Emilia
I can't allow that.
[40:33] Emilia
I'll stop it.
[40:36] Emilia
I will stop you!
[40:38] Emilia
Please, everyone... I need your help!
[40:46] Emilia
Yes!
[40:55] Emilia
Keep it coming!
[41:32] Emilia
Can I...
[41:34] Emilia
let it end like this?
[41:37] Emilia
I haven't done anything...
[41:39] Emilia
or apologized to anyone yet.
[41:42] Emilia
No! I can still...
[41:44] Emilia
try a lot harder!
[42:20] Emilia
No... I won't let that...
[42:45] Emilia
Everyone...
[42:50] Emilia
What are you...
[43:14] Emilia
I held out...
[43:16] Emilia
without relying on Puck.
[43:18] Emilia
Everyone...
[43:20] Emilia
Thank you.
[43:21] Emilia
It's because I had all of you...
[43:38] Emilia
Everyone?!
[43:45] Emilia
Are you...
[43:47] Emilia
the thing from before?
[43:49] Voice
Ultimate pleasure...
[43:52] Voice
Yes, I love that expression.
[43:55] Voice
That look on your face is
exactly what I wanted to see!
[43:59] Emilia
That voice... You can talk?
[44:03] ChapMela
Slow-witted... Thick-headed.
[44:05] ChapMela
You're too dense!
[44:06] ChapMela
Those spirits that disappeared in your place
can't rest in peace if you're like that!
[44:16] Emilia
The man from the group that
came to the forest...
[44:19] ChapMela
Comprehension, affirmation.
[44:22] ChapMela
I'm the man you and your
spirit put through hell.
[44:27] ChapMela
As you can see, I've acquired
the power to get revenge!
[44:32] Emilia
Revenge? On me?
[44:34] ChapMela
Question, affirmation!
[44:37] ChapMela
I lent my body to him in return for revenge!
[44:41] ChapMela
And thanks to that, I'm feeling fantastic!
[44:47] Emilia
I understand what you're saying.
[44:50] Emilia
But why did you do that to my lesser spirits?
[44:53] Emilia
Why did you kill them?!
[44:54] ChapMela
Simple and clear.
[44:57] ChapMela
Because...
[44:59] ChapMela
It gave me a chance to see you cry!
[45:16] ChapMela
That's it! Be angry! Be angry!
[45:22] ChapMela
It's your fault!
[45:24] ChapMela
You are a witch!
[45:26] ChapMela
I will exact judgment on criminals!
[45:44] Emilia
If I'm the one you're after...
[45:48] Emilia
Then take me on, and no one else!
[45:51] Emilia
Not the forest, and not my friends!
[45:54] Emilia
I'm begging you! Don't do anything to them!
[45:57] ChapMela
Laughter unavoidable!
[45:59] ChapMela
I'll burn up your friends, too!
[46:02] ChapMela
My goal... your annihilation!
[46:06] ChapMela
Destroy half-demon!
[46:08] Emilia
Half-demon? What do you mean by "half-demon"?!
[46:10] ChapMela
Don't play dumb, half-demon!
[46:13] ChapMela
No... half-elf!
[46:16] ChapMela
You have the same appearance as the witch,
[46:19] ChapMela
and were born with the same cursed blood!
[46:22] ChapMela
The witch's encumbrance!
[46:24] ChapMela
The witch's second coming!
[46:26] ChapMela
A danger to the world!
[46:33] Emilia
Half-elf?
[46:36] Emilia
I'm...
[46:39] ---
a half-elf?
[46:41] ChapMela
Affirmation.
[46:43] ChapMela
You... half-elf.
[46:45] ChapMela
You are a contaminant.
[46:47] ChapMela
You are the only contaminant in this forest!
[46:51] Emilia
I'm not like...
[46:54] Emilia
everyone else in the forest?
[46:58] Emilia
Is that why...
[47:00] ---
I'm the only one who woke up?
[47:04] Emilia
If you came here to kill me,
then you must know, right?
[47:10] Emilia
What did I do?!
[47:12] Emilia
Tell me!
[47:13] Emilia
Why was the entire forest frozen?
[47:16] Emilia
What did I do to all of them?
[47:19] Emilia
Why does everyone hate me?
[47:23] Emilia
Why am I alone?!
[47:27] Emilia
Why?!
[47:35] ChapMela
I... know nothing.
[47:38] ChapMela
I don't know anything about
the crimes you've committed.
[47:44] Emilia
Then why are you after me?!
[47:48] Emilia
What do you want?!
[47:49] Emilia
Why is it always like this?!
[47:51] Emilia
If you're going to hate me,
[47:53] Emilia
make me the reason!
[47:56] Emilia
Why do people always hate me for
reasons I can't do anything about?
[48:04] ChapMela
I am indifferent to your personal affairs.
[48:07] ChapMela
You are a half-demon.
[48:10] ChapMela
You are a witch.
[48:12] ChapMela
Simply being alive is your sin.
[48:15] ChapMela
Simply existing in this world is your sin.
[48:24] Emilia
Why...
[48:26] Emilia
Why?
[48:27] Emilia
I'm Emilia!
[48:30] Emilia
I'm just Emilia!
[48:32] Emilia
I don't know anything about
half-demons or witches!
[48:35] Emilia
Look at me!
[48:37] Emilia
Tell me about me!
[48:44] ChapMela
I... I am...
[48:47] ChapMela
mediator, Melaquera.
[48:50] ChapMela
Judge, mediator.
[48:53] ChapMela
Exact... judgment!
[49:04] ChapMela
Perform... mediation!
[49:16] Emilia
Puck...
[49:21] Puck
That's enough.
[49:29] Puck
This time,
[49:31] Puck
you remembered to call my
name right at the start.
[49:34] Puck
Good job, Emilia.
[49:41] Emilia
Puck...
[49:44] ChapMela
That girl is a half-demon!
[49:47] ChapMela
That girl is a threat to the entire world!
[49:51] Puck
The world, the world...
[49:53] Puck
I'm sick of hearing that.
[49:55] Puck
Just so you know,
[49:57] ---
no one cares about the world as much as you do.
[50:03] Emilia
Puck, no!
[50:07] Emilia
You can't beat him...
[50:08] ---
You'll die...
[50:10] Emilia
If you die on me, too...
[50:12] Puck
I wish you wouldn't
underestimate me, Emilia.
[50:15] Puck
Sure, based on appearances,
he definitely looks a little stronger,
[50:19] Puck
but when it comes to being lovable
and fluffy, I'm the clear winner!
[50:23] ChapMela
Bluff unnecessary. Resistance is futile.
[50:27] ChapMela
You've exhausted all of your reserves.
[50:31] Puck
Futile, you say? If that's what you think,
[50:34] Puck
you can just turn into shaved ice right now!
[50:43] Emilia
Puck!
[51:07] ChapMela
Impossible...
[51:09] ChapMela
This... can't be...
[51:14] ChapMela
I'm going to use the spirit's power
to get revenge on that girl!
[51:18] Puck
Even a mouse will bite a cat when cornered.
[51:22] Puck
I know I'm a cat, but still...
[51:24] Puck
This is what you'd call burning
the flesh to crush the od!
[51:40] Emilia
Puck...
[51:48] Puck
Emilia...
[51:49] Emilia
Puck...
[51:53] Emilia
Puck, did you know?
[51:57] Emilia
That I'm a half-demon?
[52:00] Emilia
That I'm not like the others?
[52:03] Puck
Emilia... There are no half-demons!
[52:07] Puck
You can't call yourself that!
[52:12] Puck
It's true that you're different
from the elves in the forest.
[52:17] Puck
You're a half-elf.
[52:20] Puck
That's the truth.
[52:25] Emilia
Why didn't you tell me?
[52:27] Emilia
It's all my fault.
[52:30] Emilia
If I'd known I had that blood in me, I wouldn't—
[52:33] Puck
You're wrong!
[52:35] Puck
That's not...
[52:36] Puck
That's not a reason for you to be hurt!
[52:41] Emilia
I hate this.
[52:49] Puck
Emilia...
[52:55] Emilia
Puck?!
SIGN To protect her:
That is your reason for existing,
your sole objective
[52:59] Emilia
Puck!
[53:02] Emilia
Puck!
[53:05] Emilia
Puck!
[53:21] Emilia
Puck...
[53:26] Mela1
Companion... folly.
[53:28] Mela2
Result... obvious.
[53:31] Mela3
Mediation... unhindered.
[53:33] Mela4
I am mediator...
[53:35] Mela5
Melaquera.
[53:45] Emilia
Why?
[53:46] Emilia
If you hate me, that's fine.
[53:49] Emilia
But you hurt my lesser spirits and Puck, too.
[53:53] Mela1
Denial.
[53:55] Mela1
My actions... remove obstacle.
[53:59] Mela2
Companion... sacrifice.
[54:01] Mela2
You are... sin.
[54:04] Emilia
If my being alive is such a bad thing,
[54:10] Emilia
then why was I the only one to
awaken from within the ice?
[54:16] Emilia
Was I born to bring misfortune to others?
[54:21] Mela3
Affirmation.
[54:24] Mela1
You, involve... others, misfortune.
[54:26] Mela2
You... acquaintance... disaster.
[54:28] Mela3
You... threat... destruction...
world balance.
[54:31] Mela4
Your existence... grave sin.
[54:34] Mela5
Whole world... crave... your death.
[54:41] Emilia
I'm sorry.
[54:46] Puck
Hell with that...
[54:50] Puck
To hell with that!
[54:54] Puck
Melaquera!
[54:56] Puck
How many times must you make her cry?!
[54:58] Puck
How many times must you make her suffer?!
[55:00] Mela1
Companion, you...
destruction... unavoidable.
[55:05] Puck
You don't get to decide why this girl was born!
[55:11] Puck
She was...
[55:13] Puck
Emilia was born because she
was wanted! She was celebrated!
[55:17] Puck
She's going to find happiness!
[55:21] Puck
She was born to find happiness!
[55:24] Mela2
Absurd!
[55:25] Mela3
Her existence... witch... return.
[55:27] Mela4
Thus... existence... world threat!
[55:29] Mela5
I experience... world end...
crisis... countless.
[55:34] Puck
How is this girl a threat to the world?!
[55:37] Puck
She's nothing but a crying child!
[55:40] Puck
You're the one who created a dangerous
situation with the black serpent's venom,
[55:45] Puck
then framed her for it and
forced her into fighting!
[55:47] Mela3
Details... argument... meaningless.
[55:51] Puck
Both you and I would have done the
same thing if we were put in danger!
[55:57] Puck
Are you saying she's not allowed
to do what anyone else would do?!
[56:00] Mela4
Affirmation.
[56:02] Mela5
That is... fate.
[56:07] Puck
Fate?
SIGN Should you interfere too
deeply in her life...
SIGN Everything that makes you what you are,
SIGN your memories, feelings,
and goals,
SIGN will all be lost
[56:35] Puck
I won't lose to some cheap concept like fate,
[56:37] Puck
and neither will she.
[56:48] Puck
Emilia, let's...
SIGN In other words,
you will cease to be you
[56:56] Puck
Let's form a contract!
[57:00] Melaquera
Nonsense.
[57:01] Puck
Be quiet, Melaquera.
[57:04] Puck
This is sacred dialogue between
a spirit and his contractor.
[57:07] Puck
You're always going on about rules,
so you know you can't interfere.
[57:12] Emilia
Puck, why...
[57:14] Puck
Sorry this isn't the most romantic setting.
[57:18] Emilia
That's not it! That's not what I mean!
[57:21] Emilia
You've never talked about making
a contract before... so...
[57:25] Emilia
I always assumed you were
going to go away someday.
[57:35] Puck
Then I'll make it clear right now.
[57:42] Puck
You're precious to me,
[57:45] Puck
and I want to protect you forever.
[57:47] Puck
You were born to be happy,
[57:52] Puck
so I want to help you achieve that.
[57:58] Emilia
You won't... go anywhere?
[58:02] Puck
I won't.
[58:03] Puck
I'll be with you forever.
[58:06] Emilia
You won't... end up hating me?
[58:11] Puck
I don't think you'll find many people
who'll love you forever the way I will.
[58:25] Emilia
Right.
[58:36] Emilia
Then, please...
[58:39] Emilia
Let me trust you.
[58:41] Puck
Of course!
[58:42] Puck
I'm here because you summoned me.
[58:46] Puck
For you, I can become anything.
[59:13] Melaquera
The four great contaminants...
[59:15] Melaquera
The Beast of the End.
[59:25] Puck
I'm not too fond of that
moldy old nickname, though.
[59:31] Melaquera
That girl...
[59:32] Melaquara
Hindrance... disgust... fear.
[59:37] Melaquera
Why... you... protect?
[59:39] Puck
Because I believe that she's someone
who can work hard to find happiness,
[59:45] Puck
no matter what state the world is in!
[59:48] Puck
She won't become a witch!
[59:53] Melaquera
You are... half-demon.
[59:57] Melaquera
You are... witch... encumbrance.
[1:00:02] Melaquera
World... balance... destroy.
[1:00:06] Melaquera
Can you... deny... suspicion?
[1:00:12] Emilia
You're right.
[1:00:14] Emilia
It seems I am a half-elf.
[1:00:18] Emilia
I'm not like the others in the forest.
[1:00:20] Emilia
My silver hair and my eye
color resemble the witch's,
[1:00:24] Emilia
and a really immense power sleeps within me.
[1:00:29] Emilia
I understand why you say that's dangerous.
[1:00:33] Emilia
I'm weak and dependent on others,
[1:00:37] Emilia
so if I'm alone, what happened
today will probably happen again.
[1:00:42] Emilia
That scares me a lot.
[1:00:44] Emilia
But...
[1:00:46] Emilia
Puck's going to stay with me.
[1:00:49] Emilia
So...
[1:00:50] Emilia
I won't become a witch.
[1:00:53] Emilia
I am Emilia,
[1:00:55] Emilia
a half-elf who was born
and lives in this forest!
[1:01:00] Melaquera
Details... understood.
[1:01:08] Melaquera
You appeal... direct.
[1:01:10] Melaquera
Subject... understood.
[1:01:12] Melaquera
However, I am mediator, Melaquera.
[1:01:16] Melaquera
I exact judgment.
[1:01:19] Melaquera
I show... to you... in full.
[1:01:23] Puck
Emilia...
[1:01:25] Puck
When this battle is over,
[1:01:28] Puck
can I call you "Lia"?
[1:01:31] Emilia
Silly.
[1:01:36] Melaquera
I am mediator, Melaquera!
[1:01:39] Puck
My name is Puck.
[1:01:41] Puck
At least remember my name... before you die!
[1:01:44] Emilia
I am Emilia.
[1:01:46] Emilia
Just Emilia.
[1:01:48] Emilia
I was born with that name,
[1:01:50] Emilia
and I'll live with it until I die!
[1:01:54] Emilia
I won't ever...
[1:01:57] Emilia
forget you!
[1:02:24] Emilia
What a beautiful sky.
[1:02:26] Puck
If you had died, you wouldn't
be seeing this sunset.
[1:02:31] Puck
There are still so many pleasures in this world,
[1:02:35] Puck
precious as jewels, waiting to bring you joy.
[1:02:38] Emilia
Hey, Puck...
[1:02:40] Emilia
Why did you form a contract with me?
[1:02:43] Puck
You'd rather I hadn't?
[1:02:46] Emilia
No, that's not what I mean.
[1:02:48] Emilia
It's just that... you never
brought it up before.
[1:02:55] Puck
The reason I never mentioned
forming a contract to you was
[1:02:58] ---
because I took an oath.
[1:03:00] Puck
I can't say with whom, though.
[1:03:03] Emilia
An oath?
[1:03:05] Emilia
To stop you from forming a contract with me?
[1:03:08] Emilia
But... Puck...
[1:03:10] Puck
In all honesty, I was supposed
to uphold that oath.
[1:03:13] Puck
But when I weigh that against losing you,
[1:03:17] Puck
there was nothing to even hesitate about.
[1:03:22] Emilia
Is it really all right for you to do this?
[1:03:27] Puck
Actually, I'm not sure what's going to happen.
[1:03:31] Puck
But it'll be fine.
[1:03:32] Puck
You don't need to worry, Emilia.
[1:03:35] Puck
For me,
[1:03:37] Puck
just being able to stay with you is enough.
[1:03:47] Puck
Whoops, careful there.
[1:03:49] Puck
I haven't taken this form in
a while, so I got careless.
[1:03:52] Puck
I'm sorry.
[1:03:56] Emilia
Puck...
[1:03:59] Emilia
Puck, did you apologize to me back then, too?
[1:04:10] Puck
Emilia...
[1:04:11] Puck
You had only just awakened,
so you were confused.
[1:04:15] Puck
But I was happy.
[1:04:19] Puck
You needed me.
[1:04:23] Emilia
Puck...
[1:04:24] Puck
In truth, I was going through
a rough time back then, too.
[1:04:28] Puck
It had been centuries since I'd been born,
[1:04:31] Puck
and I'd never experienced that before.
[1:04:33] Emilia
Never experienced what before?
[1:04:36] Puck
Feeling glad to be alive.
[1:04:39] Puck
It was the first time I'd ever felt happy.
[1:04:48] Puck
Thank you, Emilia.
[1:04:51] Puck
You gave me happiness.
[1:04:55] Puck
Through all the time I've spent with
you in this forest since you woke up,
[1:05:00] Puck
you've given me happiness.
[1:05:04] Emilia
Puck... There's something I was
never able to tell you, too.
[1:05:11] Emilia
I love you, Puck.
[1:05:16] Emilia
You're like a father to me.
[1:05:24] Emilia
Wh-Why are you laughing?!
[1:05:25] Emilia
It took a lot of courage to get over
my embarrassment and say that!
[1:05:29] Puck
Sorry... I'm sorry.
[1:05:31] Puck
But that was the first thing you said to me.
[1:05:34] Emilia
Huh?
[1:05:36] Emilia
Wait, Puck...
[1:05:38] Emilia
Are you just making things
up because I don't remember?
[1:05:41] Puck
That's quite a thing to say, my daughter.
[1:05:45] Emilia
You're already calling me your daughter...
[1:05:47] Puck
I know it's not as if you remember it now...
[1:05:51] Puck
But it seems like you felt the same way.
[1:05:54] Puck
So I'm done keeping all my
affection locked up, too.
[1:06:05] (Flashback) Puck
I'm sorry...
[1:06:07] (Flashback) ---
I'm sorry...
[1:06:10] (Flashback) Emilia
Why are you apologizing?
[1:06:14] (Flashback) Emilia
Why are you crying?
[1:06:18] (Flashback) Puck
Because I left you alone...
[1:06:21] (Flashback) Emilia
You left me alone?
[1:06:25] (Flashback) Puck
Because I couldn't find you all this time...
[1:06:31] (Flashback) Emilia
But... I'm right here.
[1:06:38] (Flashback) Emilia
What's your name?
[1:06:43] (Flashback) Puck
My name is...
[1:06:54] (Flashback) Puck
My name is Puck.
[1:06:58] (Flashback) Puck
All this time, and from now on, too,
[1:07:01] (Flashback) Puck
I'm a spirit meant just for you.
[1:07:04] (Flashback) Emilia
Spirit?
[1:07:06] (Flashback) Puck
When you're scared, when you're sad...
[1:07:10] (Flashback) Puck
I'll protect you.
[1:07:12] (Flashback) Puck
When you're having fun, when you're happy...
[1:07:16] (Flashback) Puck
I'll share your joy.
[1:07:19] (Flashback) Puck
If you'll allow it.
[1:07:26] (Flashback) Emilia
Father?
[1:07:29] (Flashback) Emilia
Does that mean... you're my father?
[1:07:37] (Flashback) Puck
I'll stay by your side and protect you.
[1:07:41] (Flashback) Puck
I'm your family. You're right.
[1:07:45] (Flashback) Puck
In that case, from now on, I'm your father!
[1:07:49] (Flashback) Puck
You can depend on me all you want, Emilia.
[1:07:56] Puck
Emilia?
[1:07:58] Puck
Are you all right?
[1:08:03] Emilia
I-It's not "Emilia," remember?
[1:08:07] Emilia
Puck! You said you weren't
going to call me "Emilia"!
[1:08:11] Emilia
You said you'd call me something else!
[1:08:16] Puck
You're right. Can I?
[1:08:18] Emilia
W-Well... I mean...
[1:08:21] Emilia
Of course!
[1:08:22] Emilia
You formed a contract with me, after all.
[1:08:25] Emilia
So from now on, we should both be more...
[1:08:29] Emilia
You know, more friendly with each other!
[1:08:32] Emilia
Then... maybe I can remember the
time we first met... and you...
[1:08:39] Emilia
So... um... I mean...
[1:08:41] Puck
Calm down.
[1:08:45] Puck
There's no need to rush,
[1:08:48] Puck
Lia.
[1:08:56] Emilia
All right, Puck!
[1:13:45] Subaru
You were a huge help!
[1:13:46] Emilia
What happened?
[1:13:46] Subaru
Thanks, both of you!
[1:13:48] Rem
Think nothing of it.
[1:13:49] Emilia
Huh? Subaru?
[1:13:52] Rem
Rem and Ram, too?
[1:13:53] Rem
Good morning, Emilia-sama.
[1:13:56] Subaru
Emilia-tan!
[1:13:59] Subaru
I'm glad you're here!
We just finished the repairs.
[1:14:03] Emilia
You all repaired this?
[1:14:04] Ram
Barusu insisted,
[1:14:06] Ram
so I was recruited first thing
in the morning to help.
[1:14:10] Subaru
I mean, when we got back from
our... date... yesterday,
[1:14:14] Subaru
you looked sad when you saw this
family sculpture starting to melt.
[1:14:21] Subaru
You wouldn't tell me why,
[1:14:25] Subaru
but I figured the thought of this
sculpture melting made you sad.
[1:14:29] Roswaal
What brings all of you out
here so early in the morning?
[1:14:35] Ram
Forgive us, Roswaal-sama.
[1:14:37] Ram
We will prepare breakfast at once.
[1:14:40] Ram
Let's go, Rem, Barusu.
[1:14:43] Rem
Yes, Sister.
[1:14:47] Emilia
Thank you, Subaru.
[1:14:51] Subaru
Don't mention it.
[1:14:53] Subaru
If it made you happy, that's enough for me.
[1:15:00] Subaru
Aw, I guess it was no use after all...
[1:15:04] Subaru
But that's the way it goes.
[1:15:07] Subaru
No such thing as snow that doesn't melt,
[1:15:10] Subaru
and no such thing as ice
that doesn't melt, either.
[1:15:17] Emilia
No such thing... as ice that doesn't melt?
[1:15:27] Emilia
Yeah!
[1:15:32] Puck
I guess even Subaru says
the right thing sometimes.
[1:15:38] Puck
That's right. There's no such
thing as ice that doesn't melt.
[1:15:42] Puck
I believe that, too.
[1:15:45] Puck
One day, I'm sure...
