[00:10] Puck
Die.
[00:17] Betel
My brain trembles...
[00:20] Subaru
Puck!
[00:21] Puck
Be quiet, Subaru.
[00:23] ---
I don't care what you...
[00:30] Betel
Complacency! Negligence! That is sloth!
[00:33] Betel
You should have killed me right away!
[00:37] Betel
Even with the power you have,
[00:39] ---
you failed to do what you needed to do!
[00:42] Puck
Foolishness.
[00:46] Puck
If you truly want to kill me...
[00:52] Puck
Then grow a thousand shadows,
half of what Satella could.
[02:31] Subaru
Are you... Puck?
[02:35] Puck
Can't you tell?
[02:37] Puck
Maybe it's cruel of me to ask that.
[02:41] Betel
Unbelievable...
[02:43] Betel
This is unbelievable!
[02:45] ---
It cannot be!
[02:47] Betel
A mere spirit...
[02:48] Betel
My faith...
[02:50] ---
Everything I've devoted my love to...
[02:52] Betel
At the hands of a mere spirit?!
[02:53] Puck
A human who's only lived a few decades
shouldn't talk to a spirit about time.
[02:58] Betel
Time has nothing to do with
the depth of one's faith!
[03:02] Betel
I wish you wouldn't liken me
[03:04] Betel
to a fool like you, a being
that lives for eternity,
[03:08] Betel
but wastes most of it in idleness!
[03:10] Betel
Ah, my brain is tremblinglinglingling...
[03:14] Puck
Death isn't even a punishment.
[03:16] Puck
This is why I hate all of you.
[03:19] Betel
The Ordeal has been completed.
[03:22] Betel
Even if my body dies,
[03:24] ---
my wishes will be called to
the exalted witch's side.
[03:26] ---
And I'll receive her love!
[03:28] Betel
I look forward to our reunion!
[03:32] Puck
He quit while he was ahead.
[03:37] Puck
Now, shall we have a little talk?
[03:40] Puck
Subaru, you have committed three sins.
[03:44] Puck
First, you broke your promise to Lia.
[03:48] Puck
You don't seem to understand
how important a promise is
[03:53] Puck
to a spirit arts user.
[03:56] Puck
Second, you ignored Lia's
wishes and came back here.
[04:00] Puck
And third...
[04:04] Puck
You let Lia die.
[04:08] Puck
In accordance with my contract,
[04:09] Puck
I will now destroy the world.
[04:12] Subaru
Why?
[04:14] Puck
Lia is...
[04:16] Puck
Emilia is my entire reason for existing.
[04:20] Puck
There's no reason for me to
exist in a world without her.
[04:24] Puck
The fog is coming closer.
[04:26] Puck
It looks like a troublesome
one has been drawn here.
[04:30] Puck
Gluttony...
[04:32] Puck
Oh, I suppose they call
it the White Whale now.
[04:35] Puck
You called it here, let Lia die,
[04:37] Puck
and now, you die yourself...
[04:41] Puck
You really are useless.
[04:46] Subaru
I've heard this laugh before.
[04:49] Subaru
The voice of a man I hated to death.
[04:53] Subaru
No... It's me.
[04:56] Subaru
I'm laughing at myself.
[04:58] Subaru
I let Rem die, killed Emilia,
[05:01] Subaru
and now, I'm going to die in vain.
[05:04] Subaru
I really am so...
[05:07] Puck
You truly are slothful, Subaru.
[05:21] Rem
Subaru-kun?
[05:22] Rem
What's the matter?
[05:25] Subaru
Rem...
[05:26] Rem
Yes, I'm your Rem.
[05:33] Rem
I'm sorry I didn't notice...
[05:35] Rem
This crowd is making you tired, isn't it?
[05:38] Subaru
Tired...
[05:40] ---
Yeah, that's right.
[05:43] Subaru
I'm out of energy, worn down...
[05:45] Subaru
I'm tired.
[06:03] Rem
Subaru-kun!
[06:11] Subaru
Sorry about that.
[06:13] Subaru
I was feeling kind of stressed,
[06:16] Subaru
so I skipped out on explaining.
[06:18] ---
Sorry.
[06:19] Rem
Really, you mustn't do that.
[06:21] Rem
I realize that you're giving a great
deal of thought to our situation.
[06:26] Rem
I don't dislike it when
you're so forceful, though.
[06:29] Subaru
Sorry I worried you.
[06:31] ---
I'm fine now.
[06:32] Subaru
I guess you've only seen me being pathetic,
getting depressed all the time...
[06:37] Subaru
But I get it now.
[06:39] Rem
You get it now?
[06:42] Subaru
I've bothered a lot of people
[06:44] ---
with all my contemplating and agonizing,
[06:47] Subaru
but I finally figured out how
to take care of everything.
[06:50] Subaru
Or, when I really think about it,
[06:53] Subaru
I was told what to do from the very start...
[06:56] Subaru
But I just don't know when to give up.
[06:58] Rem
But I think that is what's
so wonderful about you.
[07:04] Subaru
Things I've realized and
been forced to realize...
[07:07] Subaru
All kinds of experiences have brought me here,
[07:11] Subaru
but I've actually had the
answer for a long time.
[07:16] Subaru
I've decided, Rem.
[07:19] Rem
Yes?
[07:23] Subaru
Run away with me.
[07:26] ---
As far as we can go.
[07:33] Rem
Huh?
[07:34] Subaru
I'm going to leave the
capital and head far west,
[07:37] ---
or maybe north.
[07:38] Rem
Um...
[07:39] Subaru
I heard no one can enter
the kingdom to the south,
[07:41] ---
so one of those two.
[07:43] Subaru
I don't like cold weather,
[07:44] ---
so I'd personally recommend west.
[07:46] Rem
Ah, um...
[07:47] Subaru
Honestly, it could be a long journey,
[07:50] ---
and I know this is a snap decision,
[07:52] Subaru
so it won't be easy...
[07:53] Rem
P-Please wait!
[07:55] Rem
The way you said that makes it sound as if
[07:59] Rem
you plan to go to some other
country that isn't Lugunica...
[08:03] Rem
Oh!
[08:04] Rem
Knowing you, it must be because
you've had another great idea!
[08:09] Rem
Something that will help Emilia-sama
and Roswaal-sama!
[08:12] Subaru
That's not what this is, Rem.
[08:16] Subaru
There's nothing I can do in the capital,
[08:18] Subaru
but I'd be just as powerless if
I went back to the mansion.
[08:23] Subaru
That's what I figured out.
[08:26] Subaru
So run away with me, Rem.
[08:29] Subaru
We can't stay here.
[08:32] Subaru
That's what everyone has been telling me.
[08:34] Subaru
I didn't want to believe it,
[08:36] ---
so I've denied it with all my might, but...
[08:39] Subaru
Yeah, they're right.
[08:41] Subaru
No one ever needed me.
[08:43] Rem
That's not—
[08:44] Subaru
It is true!
[08:46] Subaru
It's been plainly spelled out
for me, over and over.
[08:50] Subaru
That's why I've decided to just disappear.
[08:53] Subaru
It's for the best.
[08:54] ---
Anything I do will just lead to a dead body...
[08:58] Subaru
Or maybe more, depending on what happens.
[09:02] Subaru
I've had enough.
[09:05] Subaru
Let's run, Rem.
[09:06] ---
You and I can't stay here.
[09:09] Subaru
We shouldn't be in this country!
[09:12] Rem
But this is so sudden...
[09:15] Subaru
We don't have time!
[09:17] Subaru
I'm sorry it's sudden, I really am.
[09:19] Subaru
I really, really am.
[09:23] Subaru
But you have to choose.
[09:25] Rem
Choose?
[09:27] Subaru
Me, or someone else?
[09:29] Subaru
Choose.
[09:32] Subaru
Let's get a dragon-drawn
carriage and head west.
[09:35] Subaru
We'll leave Lugunica and go far
west to... Kararagi, was it?
[09:39] Subaru
We'll buy a little house
and live there together.
[09:43] Subaru
Even if bad things happen,
[09:44] ---
I can keep going if you're there.
[09:47] Subaru
Just having someone waiting at
home for me with a smile...
[09:50] Subaru
No matter how tired I am,
[09:51] ---
if I know you're waiting for me, I know...
[09:56] Subaru
Please choose me!
[09:59] Subaru
If you choose me, I'll
give you all that I have!
[10:03] Subaru
So please...
[10:05] ---
Run away with me.
[10:06] Subaru
Live with me!
[10:16] Rem
Subaru-kun...
[10:18] Rem
I can't run away with you.
[10:22] Rem
We're supposed to laugh together
[10:25] ---
as we talk about the future, remember?
[10:29] Subaru
Maybe we can't laugh now, but...
[10:33] ---
You know, once we actually get moving,
[10:36] ---
I bet we can—
[10:36] Rem
I've thought about it, too.
[10:42] Rem
We would arrive in Kararagi,
[10:44] ---
and rent a place to stay.
[10:46] Rem
As long as we had a home and work,
[10:49] ---
we would get by somehow.
[10:51] Rem
Fortunately, thanks to Roswaal-sama,
I've received an education,
[10:56] Rem
so I think I could easily find
work, even in Kararagi.
[11:00] Rem
You might have to either
look for manual labor
[11:03] Rem
or take care of things around me.
[11:08] Rem
Once we had a stable income,
[11:10] ---
we could look for a better place to live.
[11:13] Rem
You could study in the meantime,
[11:15] ---
for perhaps a year, so that you can find
[11:18] Rem
a decent job, until you can actually work.
[11:22] Rem
We would work together,
[11:24] ---
and once we had enough money,
perhaps we could buy a house.
[11:29] Rem
Maybe we could even open a shop.
[11:32] Rem
Kararagi is a thriving
commercial area, after all.
[11:34] Rem
I'm sure we could earn a living
on one of your fanciful ideas.
[11:38] Rem
And once our jobs were on track...
[11:40] Rem
Um, it's embarrassing to say, but...
[11:43] ---
we could have a child...
[11:45] Rem
It would be half-demon and half-human,
[11:47] ---
so I'm sure it would be feisty.
[11:49] Rem
Whether we have a boy or a girl,
[11:51] Rem
twins or even triplets,
[11:53] ---
I know they would be adorable.
[11:56] Rem
I'm sure it wouldn't be all fun times,
[11:59] Rem
and not everything would
work out as I imagined it.
[12:03] Rem
We might have only daughters and no sons,
[12:07] Rem
so you might not feel very
proud of your family.
[12:11] Subaru
Rem...
[12:12] Rem
But, but... Even when the children grow up
[12:15] Rem
and reach the age where they
start to treat you coldly,
[12:18] Rem
I'll still be on your side.
[12:20] Rem
We'll be famous in the neighborhood
as a couple of old lovebirds,
[12:25] Rem
as we take our time spending life
together and growing old...
[12:32] Subaru
Rem...
[12:33] Rem
I would feel bad for doing it to you,
[12:35] Rem
but I would prefer to die
before you, if possible.
[12:38] Rem
I want to die quietly,
[12:39] ---
lying on our bed, with your hand in mine,
[12:42] Rem
surrounded by our children and their children,
[12:45] Rem
and say, "I was so happy,"
[12:49] ---
as you all look on.
[12:52] Rem
I could end my life happily, so happily.
[12:58] Subaru
If you...
[12:59] Subaru
If you want it that badly, then...
[13:04] Rem
If you could wish for that
future with a smile,
[13:08] Rem
I would be truly happy to die that way.
[13:14] Rem
As long as I could live with you...
[13:16] Rem
Just knowing that you want me
with you when you run away
[13:22] Rem
makes me happy from the bottom of my heart.
[13:25] Rem
But I can't.
[13:28] Rem
Because I know
[13:29] ---
that if we run away together now,
[13:32] Rem
I would be leaving behind the
Subaru-kun that I love most.
[13:38] Rem
Subaru-kun,
[13:40] ---
please tell me what happened.
[13:43] Rem
If you can't, please trust me.
[13:46] Rem
I swear I'll do something to make it right.
[13:50] Rem
But for now, at least, we should go back.
[13:53] Rem
If we take our time and
consider things calmly,
[13:56] Rem
maybe we'll find a different answer.
[13:59] Subaru
I've already agonized over this.
[14:01] Subaru
I've thought about it.
[14:02] ---
I've suffered.
[14:04] Subaru
That's why I gave up.
[14:09] Rem
It's easy to give up, but...
[14:14] Subaru
It's easy to give up?
[14:17] Rem
Subaru-kun?
[14:18] Subaru
Don't give me that!
[14:20] Subaru
There's nothing easy about giving up!
[14:24] Subaru
You think I'm just doing nothing,
[14:25] ---
thinking about nothing,
[14:27] Subaru
cutting myself off from everything,
[14:28] ---
and throwing everything away,
[14:31] Subaru
and that's all it took to give up?!
[14:36] Subaru
It was not easy to give up!
[14:39] Subaru
It was so much easier for me to think
[14:42] ---
there was something I could do!
[14:45] Subaru
But there's nothing I can do!
[14:47] Subaru
There's no way out!
[14:49] Subaru
The only path everything
leads to is giving up!
[14:52] Subaru
If I could do something,
[14:54] Subaru
I would... I would...
[15:01] Rem
Subaru-kun.
[15:04] Rem
It is easy to give up.
[15:07] Rem
But it doesn't suit you.
[15:12] Rem
I don't know what painful things
you've been through,
[15:15] Rem
or what you've done that makes you suffer so.
[15:21] Rem
And I know it would be wrong of me
[15:23] ---
to thoughtlessly say I understand.
[15:26] Rem
But even so...
[15:29] Rem
There is something that I do know.
[15:33] Rem
I know that you're someone who can't
give up on something halfway through.
[15:39] Rem
I know that you're someone who can smile
[15:44] Rem
when you talk about your
wishes for the future.
[15:48] Rem
I know.
[15:50] Rem
I know that you're someone who
can't give up on the future.
[15:54] Subaru
You're wrong.
[15:55] ---
I'm not that kind of—
[15:58] Rem
I'm not wrong.
[15:59] Rem
You haven't given up on anyone...
[16:01] Rem
Not Emilia-sama, or Sister,
[16:04] ---
or Roswaal-sama, or Beatrice-sama,
or anyone else.
[16:10] Subaru
I have... I have given up!
[16:12] Subaru
Carrying it all was impossible from the start!
[16:16] Subaru
My hands are so small
[16:17] ---
that it all slipped through my
fingers, leaving nothing.
[16:21] Rem
No, that's not true. You have—
[16:24] Subaru
What do you know?!
[16:27] Subaru
What do you know about me?!
[16:30] Subaru
This is the kind of man I am!
[16:33] Subaru
I have no strength, but I want it all.
[16:35] Subaru
I have no knowledge, but all I do is dream.
[16:37] Subaru
There's nothing I can do,
but I struggle in vain!
[16:42] Subaru
I... I...
[16:44] Subaru
I hate myself!
[16:47] Subaru
All I do is talk a big game,
[16:50] Subaru
and make myself sound like a big shot,
when I can't do anything!
[16:52] Subaru
I never do anything,
[16:54] ---
yet I can complain like a pro!
[16:57] Subaru
Who do I think I am?!
[16:59] Subaru
It's amazing that I can live like
this and not feel ashamed!
[17:03] Subaru
Right?!
[17:05] Subaru
I'm empty!
[17:07] ---
There's nothing in me at all!
[17:09] Subaru
I know that...
[17:11] Subaru
Yeah, that's obvious.
[17:13] Subaru
I know it's obvious.
[17:15] Subaru
Before I came here...
[17:17] Subaru
Before I got into the situation
that led me to all of you,
[17:20] Subaru
do you have any idea what I did?
[17:23] Subaru
I did nothing.
[17:25] Subaru
I've never done a single thing!
[17:28] Subaru
I had all that time, all that freedom...
[17:32] Subaru
I could have done anything,
[17:34] Subaru
but I never did a thing!
[17:35] Subaru
And this is the result!
What I am now is the result!
[17:39] Subaru
All of my powerlessness,
all of my incompetence,
[17:42] Subaru
is the product of my rotten character.
[17:46] Subaru
Wanting to accomplish something
when I've never done anything
[17:50] Subaru
goes beyond the limits of arrogance!
[17:53] Subaru
The cost of my laziness and all
the wasteful habits in my life
[17:57] Subaru
just ends up killing both you and me!
[18:01] Subaru
That's right.
[18:03] ---
I have no character.
[18:04] Subaru
Even when I thought I could go on
living here, nothing changed.
[18:10] Subaru
That old man saw that part of me perfectly.
[18:14] ---
Right?
[18:15] Subaru
I wasn't trying to get stronger,
[18:17] Subaru
or trying to make things better.
[18:20] Subaru
I was just striking an obvious
pose to justify myself,
[18:23] Subaru
to say that I was trying, that it wasn't
like I wasn't doing anything.
[18:30] Subaru
I wanted to say I couldn't help it.
[18:31] Subaru
I wanted to be told that
it couldn't be helped!
[18:34] Subaru
I was only pretending to push my body to
the limits so that would be possible!
[18:40] Subaru
Even when I had you help me study,
[18:42] Subaru
I was just posing to cover up
how embarrassed I felt!
[18:46] Subaru
At heart,
[18:48] ---
I'm just a small, cowardly,
filthy piece of trash
[18:52] Subaru
who's always worried about how
others see me, and nothing...
[18:56] Subaru
Nothing about me has changed!
[19:04] Subaru
I knew it all along.
[19:07] Subaru
That all of it was my fault...
[19:10] Subaru
I'm the lowest of the low.
[19:12] Subaru
I absolutely hate myself.
[19:20] Rem
I know...
[19:22] Rem
that no matter how deeply
you've fallen into darkness,
[19:26] Rem
you still have the courage
to reach out your hand.
[19:31] Rem
I love it when you stroke my hair.
[19:34] Rem
I feel as if we can understand each other
[19:36] ---
through the contact between
your hand and my hair.
[19:40] Rem
I love your voice.
[19:43] Rem
Just hearing you say one word
[19:44] ---
makes my heart feel warmer.
[19:47] Rem
I love your eyes.
[19:50] Rem
Normally, they look stern,
[19:52] Rem
but when you're being kind to someone,
[19:54] Rem
I love the way they soften.
[19:58] Rem
I love your fingers.
[20:00] Rem
For a boy, you have such lovely fingers.
[20:03] Rem
But when they clutch mine,
I know they are the strong,
[20:07] ---
slender fingers of a man.
[20:10] Rem
I love the way you walk.
[20:12] Rem
When we walk together,
[20:14] Rem
I love the way you occasionally
turn to make sure I'm keeping up.
[20:20] Subaru
Stop...
[20:21] Rem
I love the way you look when you sleep.
[20:24] Rem
You look unguarded, like an infant,
[20:26] Rem
and your eyelashes are on the long side.
[20:28] Rem
When I touch your cheek, you calm down...
[20:31] Rem
And when I playfully touch your
lips, you don't even notice...
[20:34] Rem
And it makes my heart ache terribly.
[20:37] Rem
I love you.
[20:39] Subaru
Why?
[20:41] Rem
When you said that you hate yourself,
[20:45] Rem
it made me want to tell you
[20:48] ---
all the wonderful things I know about you.
[20:51] Subaru
That was all phony!
[20:53] ---
You just don't know me!
[20:55] Subaru
I know myself better than anyone!
[20:59] Rem
All you know is yourself!
[21:02] Rem
How much do you know about
the Subaru-kun that I see?!
[21:09] Subaru
Why... do you like me so much?
[21:13] Subaru
I'm...
[21:14] Subaru
I'm weak and small.
[21:17] ---
I'm running away.
[21:18] Subaru
Just like I ran away last time!
[21:20] Subaru
So why?
[21:23] Rem
Because you are my hero, Subaru-kun!
[21:30] Rem
In that dark forest,
[21:32] ---
when I didn't even know who I was anymore
[21:34] Rem
and couldn't think of anything
but violently lashing out,
[21:37] Rem
you saved me.
[21:40] Rem
When I woke up unable to move,
[21:42] Rem
and Sister was exhausted after
using too much magic,
[21:44] Rem
you faced the mabeasts as a
diversion so we could escape.
[21:48] Rem
There was no way you could win,
[21:50] ---
and your life was in real danger.
[21:52] Rem
But you still stayed,
[21:54] Rem
and came back to my arms, still warm.
[21:59] Rem
When you woke up, you smiled,
[22:01] Rem
and said the words I wanted to hear most,
[22:03] Rem
when I wanted to hear them most,
[22:05] ---
from the one I wanted most to hear them from.
[22:08] Rem
My time has been stopped for so long.
[22:12] Rem
Ever since that fiery night,
[22:14] Rem
the night I lost everything except my sister,
[22:18] Rem
my time has been stopped.
[22:22] Rem
It was you who melted my frozen heart,
[22:25] Rem
and kindly made my stopped time
begin to move forward again.
[22:31] Rem
I'm sure you have no idea how you saved me,
[22:36] Rem
or how happy I was at that
moment, on that morning.
[22:41] Rem
That's why I believe.
[22:45] Rem
No matter what painful things happen,
[22:47] Rem
even when it looks like you'll lose...
[22:50] Rem
When no one else in the world believes in you,
[22:54] Rem
when you don't even believe in yourself...
[22:57] Rem
I will believe...
[23:06] Rem
that the Subaru-kun who saved me
[23:09] Rem
is a true hero.
[23:25] Subaru
No matter how hard I tried,
[23:28] ---
I couldn't save anyone.
[23:30] Rem
I'm here.
[23:32] Rem
The Rem you saved is right here.
[23:36] Subaru
I've never done anything. I'm empty.
[23:40] Subaru
No one will even listen to me.
[23:42] Rem
I'm here.
[23:44] Rem
I'll listen to anything you have to say.
[23:47] Rem
I want to.
[23:49] Subaru
No one expects anything of me.
[23:52] Subaru
No one believes in me.
[23:55] Subaru
I hate myself.
[24:00] Rem
Well, I love you, Subaru-kun.
[24:08] Subaru
You really don't mind that it's me?
[24:12] Rem
I want it to be you.
[24:15] Rem
I wouldn't want for it to be anyone else.
[24:19] Rem
If you can't forgive yourself
[24:22] ---
for being empty and having nothing,
[24:24] Rem
then let's start from here, right now.
[24:27] Subaru
Start what?
[24:29] Rem
Just like you started my time for me
when it was stopped,
[24:34] Rem
we'll make the time that
you feel is stopped for you
[24:37] ---
begin to move again.
[24:39] Rem
Let's start here,
[24:43] Rem
from square one.
[24:45] Rem
No...
[24:47] Rem
From zero!
[24:53] Rem
If it's too hard for you to walk alone,
[24:55] ---
I'll hold you up.
[24:57] Rem
We'll share the burden and
support each other as we walk.
[25:01] Rem
Isn't that what you said to me that morning?
[25:05] Rem
Show me how awesome you can be, Subaru-kun.
[25:11] Subaru
Rem...
[25:13] Rem
Yes?
[25:17] Subaru
I love Emilia.
[25:22] Rem
Yes.
[25:24] Subaru
I want to see Emilia smile.
[25:26] Subaru
I want to be of help to Emilia's future.
[25:29] Subaru
Even if she says I'm in the way,
[25:31] ---
even if she tells me to stay away...
[25:35] Subaru
I want to be next to her.
[25:38] Subaru
Using my feelings for her as an excuse
[25:41] Subaru
to get her to understand everything
[25:44] Subaru
was arrogant of me, huh?
[25:47] Subaru
It's okay if she doesn't understand.
[25:50] ---
I just want to save her.
[25:52] Subaru
If there's a bleak,
painful future waiting for her,
[25:55] Subaru
I want to take her away to a future
where we can all laugh together.
SIGN
[26:02] Subaru
Will you help me?
[26:05] Subaru
I can't do anything alone.
[26:07] ---
I lack in everything.
[26:09] Subaru
I'm not confident that I can
even keep walking straight.
[26:12] Subaru
I'm weak, fragile, and small.
[26:15] Subaru
So, to make sure I keep walking straight,
[26:18] Subaru
to help me realize when I'm wrong...
[26:21] Subaru
Will you help me?
[26:26] Rem
You are a cruel man, Subaru-kun.
[26:28] Rem
You ask all this of someone you just rejected?
[26:32] Subaru
Hey, it's also hard for me to ask
this of the one who rejected
[26:36] ---
my once-in-a-lifetime proposal.
[26:49] Rem
I humbly accept.
[26:52] Rem
If it will help you,
[26:55] Rem
my hero,
[26:57] ---
greet the future with a smile, then yes.
[27:01] Subaru
Yeah, just watch.
[27:03] Subaru
You get a front row seat...
[27:10] Subaru
to see the man you fell for
[27:12] ---
become the most awesome hero ever!
[27:26] Subaru
I'm watching you.
[27:29] Subaru
You're watching me.
[27:32] Subaru
So I won't look downward.
[27:34] Subaru
Natsuki Subaru's story will begin
right here, from zero.
[27:42] Subaru
My life in another world
starts here, from zero!
SIGN From Zero
[27:55] Crusch
What?
[27:56] Subaru
Okay, I'll say it again.
[27:58] Subaru
An alliance between the Emilia and
Crusch camps, on equal terms.
[28:03] Subaru
The information I'll offer
for that purpose is the time
[28:06] Subaru
and location of the
White Whale's appearance.
[28:08] Subaru
That's the one card I can play.
[28:15] Wilhelm
The White Whale?
[28:25] Wilhelm
Please forgive my indiscretion.
[28:28] Wilhelm
I suppose I still have much to learn.
[28:31] Crusch
And? It is rather sudden of you
to bring up the White Whale.
[28:36] Subaru
Not at all.
[28:37] Subaru
When we began this negotiation,
[28:39] Subaru
I mentioned the magic stones found
in Elior Forest in Roswaal's domain.
[28:44] Subaru
If sharing the mining rights is insufficient,
[28:47] Subaru
I need to offer an additional push.
[28:51] Subaru
Crusch-san, I'm certain that
my information will aid
[28:55] ---
in your plan to subjugate the White Whale.
[28:58] Crusch
Let me ask one thing, Natsuki Subaru.
[29:01] Crusch
What gave you that idea?
[29:04] Crusch
That remark was not one you could
pass off as a baseless accusation.
[29:07] Subaru
For these past few days,
[29:08] ---
some things have bothered me.
[29:10] Subaru
First, the increase in traffic
to and from your mansion.
[29:13] Subaru
It's been just a bit excessive.
[29:16] Subaru
Also, I heard in the capital that you've
been buying up weapons and armor.
[29:20] Subaru
Plus...
[29:21] Russell
If Crusch-sama's goal should be attained,
[29:25] Russell
I'm sure it would suit your
desires, Wilhelm-dono.
[29:28] Subaru
It seemed as if you were
planning something big.
[29:32] Subaru
Of course, I can't prove that.
[29:34] Subaru
Maybe I only made the connection
[29:36] ---
because I know the White Whale
will be appearing soon.
[29:40] Crusch
I have another question, Natsuki Subaru.
[29:43] Crusch
On what grounds do you know
that the White Whale will appear?
[29:48] Subaru
This.
[29:50] Crusch
What in the world is this?
[29:53] Subaru
The moment before that happened...
[30:00] Subaru
It's what you'd call a metia.
[30:03] Subaru
It tells me when and where
the White Whale will appear.
[30:07] Crusch
I find this a bit hard to believe...
[30:12] Crusch
But I see that you aren't lying.
[30:14] Subaru
I appreciate that, but are you sure
you want to believe me so easily?
[30:19] Felix
Lies will get you nyowhere with Crusch-sama.
[30:21] Felix
She has the divine protection of wind-reading.
[30:23] Subaru
Uh, say what?
[30:25] Crusch
When a person lies, a telling
wind blows around them.
[30:30] Crusch
I can see that wind.
[30:32] Crusch
You did not have that.
[30:34] Subaru
Does that mean you'll agree to an alliance
[30:36] ---
in exchange for my information
on the White Whale?
[30:38] Crusch
You're getting ahead of
yourself, Natsuki Subaru.
[30:41] Crusch
Whether or not I agree to the alliance
[30:43] ---
and whether or not I believe
you are separate matters.
[30:47] Crusch
My decision will determine
[30:48] ---
the outcome of the royal selection,
if not the very future of the kingdom.
[30:52] Crusch
It cannot be made lightly.
[30:55] Anastasia
Mind if I listen in on this li'l chat, too?
[31:00] Russel
Pardon us.
[31:02] Crusch
Anastasia Hoshin...
[31:04] Crusch
Russell Fellow?
[31:07] Anastasia
Well, y'all asked us to
come, and here you are,
[31:09] Anastasia
startin' without us.
[31:12] ---
That's hardly fair.
[31:14] Anastasia
Let us in on this.
[31:18] Crusch
Was it Natsuki Subaru who
asked you to come here?
[31:22] Anastasia
Well, to be exact, it was
this gal he keeps with him.
[31:24] Anastasia
I only heard the gist of it,
[31:28] Anastasia
but if you're really plannin' to subjugate
the White Whale, I look forward to it!
[31:29] Anastasia
For us business folk,
[31:32] Anastasia
whether the White Whale's around
or not is a life-or-death matter.
[31:35] Anastasia
Of course, our mercenary team will help y'all.
[31:38] Russell
In addition to the White Whale,
I'm interested
[31:40] Russell
in the concession proposed
[31:44] ---
by Natsuki-dono of mining
rights to the magic stones.
[31:46] Russell
If the alliance is formed,
magic stones from veins
[31:48] ---
previously untouched will be distributed
to the capital through Crusch-sama.
[31:52] Russell
As the merchant guild's representative,
I cannot let this offer go unheard.
[31:55] Crusch
Natsuki Subaru called you, as well?
[31:58] Subaru
I'll say it once more.
[32:00] Subaru
What I offer in return for this alliance is
[32:02] Subaru
a share in the magic stone mining rights and
[32:05] Subaru
information on when and where
the White Whale will appear.
[32:07] Subaru
In other words, the fuel needed
to subjugate the mabeast
[32:12] ---
that's terrorized the world for so long!
[32:15] Subaru
If what I say makes no sense
to you, forget I said it.
[32:20] Subaru
But if your goal and my wish align,
[32:24] Subaru
then let's defeat the White Whale.
[32:28] Subaru
Let's go on a hunt!
[32:40] Crusch
I still have several questions,
[32:42] Crusch
but it was brilliant of you
to uncover my plans.
[32:46] Subaru
Then...
[32:47] Crusch
I have questions, as well as doubts.
[32:50] Crusch
Many things you say are unclear to me,
[32:51] Crusch
so I have difficulty agreeing immediately.
[32:54] Crusch
However...
[32:55] Crusch
I will choose to trust your eyes
[32:57] Crusch
and the spirit that led you
to create this situation.
[33:02] Russell
Then the deal is made.
[33:07] Russell
There were a few touch-and-go moments,
[33:10] Russell
but I'm glad it worked out, Natsuki-dono.
[33:12] Russell
I trust the promise we made prior
to the negotiation still stands.
[33:14] Subaru
Yeah, you were a big help, Russell-san.
[33:17] Subaru
Once the subjugation is complete,
I'll give you the metia.
[33:21] Crusch
So you did lay some groundwork
before coming here.
[33:24] Crusch
And you were waiting outside the
door for your moment to enter?
[33:27] Anastasia
It was up to us when we'd interrupt, though.
[33:30] Anastasia
Well, as far as negotiations go,
I guess that barely gets a passin' mark?
[33:34] Subaru
Took you long enough!
[33:35] ---
I thought you were never gonna come in!
[33:38] Anastasia
When negotiatin', there's always
a time to make your move.
[33:42] Anastasia
Well, as you're gettin' ready
for the subjugation and such,
[33:45] Anastasia
don't forget to patronize the Hoshin Company.
[33:48] Crusch
You paved the way before negotiations began?
[33:53] Crusch
You are surprisingly shrewd, Natsuki Subaru.
[33:56] Subaru
My preparation and review
paid off, that's all.
[33:59] Subaru
To be honest, I couldn't be more relieved.
[34:01] Felix
Well, that's plain to see.
[34:07] Subaru
We managed to save face for staying
in the capital. Right, Rem?
[34:11] Rem
Yes. You are truly wonderful, Subaru-kun.
[34:16] Rem
The Witch's Cult?
[34:18] Subaru
Yeah. They're on the move and after Emilia.
[34:22] Rem
Roswaal-sama feared that
might happen, as well.
[34:26] Subaru
I want to stop them,
[34:28] ---
but I don't have the fighting strength.
[34:30] Subaru
I have to start negotiating
now to pull some together.
[34:34] Subaru
Will you help me?
[34:42] Wilhelm
Subaru-dono.
[34:45] Wilhelm
I thank you.
[34:48] Subaru
Huh?
[34:49] Wilhelm
I offer you gratitude
[34:50] Wilhelm
equal to that which I offer to my
lady, Duchess Crusch Karsten.
[34:55] Subaru
E-Er, that's, um...
[34:57] Wilhelm
As perceptive as you are,
[34:59] Wilhelm
I am sure you're aware, but if
I may introduce myself...
[35:03] Wilhelm
My family name is Astrea.
[35:05] Wilhelm
I took the previous Master Swordsman,
Theresia van Astrea, as my wife,
[35:09] Wilhelm
giving me the honor of the
lowest seat in the bloodline.
[35:13] Wilhelm
That is who I, Wilhelm van Astrea, am.
[35:18] Wilhelm
I thank you for so kindly
granting this old man
[35:21] Wilhelm
the opportunity to slay the loathsome
mabeast that took my wife.
[35:26] Subaru
S-Sure! Of course I knew that!
[35:30] Subaru
I figured Crusch-san would accept
my offer with that in mind—
[35:33] Crusch
Natsuki Subaru.
[35:35] Crusch
The wind of untruth is blowing from you.
[35:49] Subaru
I get it...
[35:51] Subaru
You bought all the dragon-drawn
carriages for this,
[35:53] Subaru
and that's why I had trouble getting
a ride back to the mansion.
[35:56] Felix
You're still awake?
[35:58] Subaru
As if I could sleep.
[36:00] Subaru
Everyone else is working through the night.
[36:02] Felix
They have nyo choice.
We don't have much time.
[36:05] Subaru
Yeah, the White Whale will
appear tomorrow night,
[36:08] Subaru
in the area around Flügel's Tree.
[36:10] Felix
So, given the travel time,
we'll just barely make it.
[36:13] Felix
Besides, can't you see it
in nyall of their faces?
[36:19] Felix
Nyot a single one of them
is preparing unwillingly.
[36:23] Felix
Everyone wants to be rid of the White Whale,
[36:26] Felix
especially Old Man Wil.
[36:30] Subaru
He said it took his wife...
[36:33] Felix
Yeah.
[36:34] Felix
He's been chasing after the
White Whale all this time...
[36:38] Felix
Ever since it killed the previous
Master Swordsman, his wife.
[36:44] Subaru
The previous Master Swordsman...
[36:46] Felix
Well, now you know,
[36:48] Felix
so you should stop worrying and get to sleep.
[36:51] Felix
There's nyothing you can do to help
[36:53] ---
with supply distribution
or organization, anyway.
[36:56] Subaru
That may be true,
[36:57] ---
but you didn't have to say it!
[37:10] Subaru
I'm supposed to pick whichever one I want?
[37:13] Felix
What is it nyow? You don't like them?
[37:16] Subaru
It's not that!
[37:17] ---
I'm glad you're letting me borrow one,
[37:19] Subaru
but I can't tell anything about their quality!
[37:22] Subaru
Do I look like a veteran who's studied nothing
but ground dragons for decades... Wait...
[37:31] Subaru
Are you that one from...
[37:39] Subaru
Looks like this is the one.
[37:42] Rem
I'm surprised.
[37:44] Rem
This ground dragon is a type
known for being extremely proud.
[37:49] Subaru
Felis, I'll take this one.
[37:50] ---
It's love at first sight!
[37:52] Felix
Sure thing.
[37:53] Felix
But don't say "love at first sight."
[37:54] ---
You're making Rem-chan pout.
[37:56] Rem
I'm not pouting!
[37:58] ---
I'll be nice to it! I can do it!
[38:13] Subaru
Wha?!
SIGN My lady was tellin' me about you.
SIGN You're the star of this little show, aren't ya?
SIGN Ho
[38:20] Subaru
That logo, and a Kararagi accent
from a demihuman...
[38:24] Subaru
So you're with Anastasia?
SIGN What, ya knew?
SIGN I'm Ricardo, head of her mercenary team.
SIGN Nice to meet you, too, li'l lady!
[38:33] Subaru
Keep it down! Also, you're huge!
[38:35] ---
You'll snap my neck!
SIGN Hey! My lady!
[38:38] Subaru
Hey!
[38:40] Subaru
Ow...
[38:42] Crusch
So that is the pride of Anastasia and
the Hoshins, the Iron Fang...
[38:46] Crusch
I see. They all look quite strong.
[38:50] Crusch
Did you rest well last night?
[38:51] Subaru
I nearly died a second ago...
[38:54] Subaru
Oh, so I guess you're fighting too, then?
[38:56] Crusch
Do you think I'm capable
[38:58] ---
of just sitting in a chair and
waiting for good news?
[39:01] Crusch
I'm more surprised that you're participating.
[39:05] Crusch
Can you fight?
[39:06] Subaru
Nope, I can't.
[39:07] Subaru
But even if I can't fight,
[39:10] Subaru
I think this human here will be pretty
useful against the White Whale.
[39:14] Crusch
I must ask: on what grounds?
[39:17] Subaru
I'm not all that happy about it myself,
[39:20] Subaru
but I seem to be the type of
guy that attracts mabeasts.
[39:24] Crusch
What?
[39:26] Rem
It's true.
[39:28] Rem
Subaru-kun has saved my life
before, thanks to that.
[39:32] Subaru
So I'll run around under
[39:33] Subaru
the White Whale's nose on my borrowed
ground dragon and draw its attention,
[39:37] Subaru
while you guys launch an all-out attack!
[39:40] Subaru
That's the tactic I'd recommend, anyway.
[39:43] Crusch
Under the White Whale's... nose?
[39:48] Crusch
Shockingly, I sense no lies in that statement.
[39:51] Crusch
I never thought
[39:53] Crusch
I'd doubt my divine protection as
often as I have in the past half day.
[40:02] Crusch
They're here.
[40:07] Conwood
Crusch-sama, we have arrived.
[40:12] Conwood
Is this boy...
[40:14] Crusch
Yes, he is.
[40:18] Conwood
Thank you, young man.
[40:20] Subaru
Huh?
[40:21] Conwood
Thanks to you, our wish may come true.
[40:24] Conwood
We could not be happier.
[40:26] Conwood
Thank you.
[40:35] Rem
It seems they're all people who have
a history with the White Whale.
[40:39] Subaru
So they're like Wilhelm-san, then?
[40:43] Crusch
Yes, many are men who have
retired from the front lines.
[40:47] Crusch
They've joined our subjugation
force at Wilhelm's invitation.
[40:52] Crusch
Their morale and experience
[40:53] Crusch
is comparable to those of the
capital's active knights.
[40:56] Felix
Crusch-sama, it's time.
[40:58] Crusch
Right.
[41:05] Crusch
Four hundred years.
[41:07] Crusch
Since the White Whale
created by the Jealous Witch
[41:10] ---
made the world its hunting ground,
[41:12] Crusch
trampling the weak and dominating
the land as if it were its owner,
[41:15] Crusch
four hundred years have passed.
[41:18] Crusch
Countless lives have been lost in that time.
[41:22] Crusch
Given, as well, the unscrupulous
nature of its fog,
[41:25] Crusch
the number of graves we cannot even
inscribe with names will only rise.
[41:30] Crusch
But those days of sitting idle end today!
[41:34] Crusch
Those of us here today will end it!
[41:37] Crusch
We will strike down the White Whale
and stop further tragedy from arising!
[41:41] Crusch
We will give the sorrow that
fell short of true sorrow
[41:44] ---
a chance to shed overdue tears!
[41:48] Crusch
We move out!
[41:50] Crusch
Our destination is Flügel's Tree,
on the Lifaus Highway.
[41:53] Crusch
Tonight, we will slay the White
Whale with our own hands!
[42:06] Mimi
I'm Mimi! Glad to know ya!
[42:09] Hetaro
My name's Hetaro. Nice to meet you.
[42:11] Subaru
Yep, nice to meet you.
[42:13] Subaru
Anyway, not that I doubted it, but...
[42:16] Subaru
You really are the second-in-command, huh?
[42:19] Mimi
Huh? Have we met somewhere before?
[42:22] Mimi
Hmm... I totally can't remember at all!
[42:26] Hetaro
C-Come on, Sister,
you have to sit up properly.
[42:27] Mimi
Totally can't...
[42:30] Subaru
Don't worry about it.
Just talking to myself.
[42:33] Subaru
I'm Natsuki Subaru.
[42:34] ---
So you two are brother and sister, huh?
[42:36] Hetaro
Yes, my big sister and I will do our—
[42:38] Mimi
When Mimi and Hetaro are together,
we're the strongest!
[42:41] Mimi
And the captain's here too,
so we're the super strongest!
[42:44] Hetaro
Uh, my sister and the
captain tend to be hasty,
[42:44] Mimi
Strongest! Strongest! Super strongest!
[42:49] Hetaro
so I usually give the orders.
[42:51] Subaru
I see...
[42:52] ---
Must be rough...
SIGN What'sa matter, bro? Ya look awful gloomy!
[42:57] Subaru
Whose fault is that?
[42:58] Subaru
A captain shouldn't make trouble for his men.
SIGN Hey, that's a nice ground dragon ya got there.
[43:03] Subaru
Hey!
[43:05] Subaru
Is it?
[43:07] ---
I borrowed this one because
it seemed to like me, but...
[43:10] Subaru
Come to think of it,
[43:12] ---
the ones you guys are
riding look kinda different.
SIGN They're called rigers.
SIGN Ya don't see 'em too often in these parts, though.
SIGN They ain't as strong as ground dragons,
[43:20] ---
but they're much more agile.
SIGN If it comes to a brawl against the Whale,
SIGN that's where they really shine, so watch close.
[43:28] Subaru
Shouldn't you have had ground
dragons pull the cargo, then?
SIGN We've gotta manage our luggage on our own.
SIGN If ya think the White Whale's our only enemy,
SIGN you'll get the rug pulled out from under ya.
SIGN Ain't no guarantee we won't run into thieves on the road, after all.
[43:46] Subaru
If anyone's got the guts to take on
a fully armed group like this,
[43:50] Subaru
they wouldn't settle for being thieves.
SIGN Good point!
[44:00] Rem
It looks like Ricardo-sama is trying
to ease everyone's nerves.
[44:06] Rem
Subaru-kun?
[44:10] Subaru
I thought I'd prepared myself for this...
[44:13] Subaru
You can tell the hero inside to awaken,
[44:16] Subaru
but it really isn't as easy as it sounds.
[44:33] Subaru
It's huge!
[44:36] Rem
You sound happy, Subaru-kun.
[44:43] Subaru
Oh, looks like people have carved
their names into the trunk.
[44:46] Subaru
We're not on some field trip.
[44:48] ---
That's just bad manners.
[44:50] Subaru
Rem, get me a chisel!
[44:52] Rem
Even you should know that will
get you in trouble, Subaru-kun.
[44:56] Rem
With me, for starters.
[44:58] Rem
So the White Whale is coming here?
[45:01] Rem
Honestly, I'm opposed to
[45:03] ---
using the witch's scent to draw
the White Whale here.
[45:07] Rem
It's too dangerous.
[45:08] Subaru
I'll use whatever I can.
[45:11] Subaru
If it gives us even a slightly better
chance of winning, it's worth it.
[45:16] Subaru
For a guy who's lacking in every way,
[45:18] Subaru
this is the only way I can compensate.
[45:21] Rem
You are wonderful, Subaru-kun.
[45:27] Rem
That metia will tell you when
the White Whale is coming?
[45:32] Subaru
Yeah. I set it to make noise when it's time.
[45:35] Subaru
To be honest, without this—
[45:37] Rem
That's a lie.
[45:40] Subaru
Wh-What are ya saying?
[45:42] Suabru
If it's a lie, then how'm I gonna...
[45:44] Rem
You're speaking in something
like the Kararagi dialect.
[45:47] Rem
It doesn't suit you at all.
[45:49] Subaru
No, no, no! I mean, there's
no way I could be lying!
[45:52] Subaru
Even Crusch-san said—
[45:53] Rem
It's all right, Subaru-kun.
[45:55] Rem
I can always tell when you're lying.
[46:00] Rem
I also know that you can't
tell me why you're lying.
[46:04] Rem
So there's no need to try to convince me,
[46:07] ---
or wrap everything in lies,
[46:09] Rem
or try to take the blame
upon yourself like that.
[46:15] Rem
Because I have complete
faith in you, Subaru-kun.
[46:27] Subaru
Man! Looking up at this huge tree
really gets you fired up, huh?
[46:32] Rem
Yes, it does.
[46:35] Subaru
I can't relax if I don't look at it for a long time!
[46:38] Subaru
I won't be able to look down for a while!
[46:41] Rem
Yes, you're right.
[46:47] Subaru
I should say "thank you" instead
of "sorry" right now, huh?
[46:52] Rem
You're welcome.
[46:55] Rem
Besides, I'm far more grateful
to you, Subaru-kun.
[47:01] Rem
So we're even.
[47:14] Subaru
Uh... Wilhelm-san?
[47:18] Subaru
I heard a bit of the story from Felis.
[47:21] Subaru
That you've been seeking revenge on the
White Whale ever since it took your wife.
[47:26] Wilhelm
Please forget that.
[47:28] Wilhelm
It was all time idly spent in
an old man's delusions.
[47:32] Rem
You truly love your wife, don't you?
[47:36] Wilhelm
Yes. I love my wife.
[47:40] Wilhelm
More than anyone,
[47:41] ---
and no matter how much time passes.
[47:45] Wilhelm
My wife was a woman who
loved to look at flowers.
[47:50] Wilhelm
She never wished to wield a sword,
[47:53] Wilhelm
but the sword loved her more than anyone.
[47:56] Wilhelm
With no choice but to live for the sword,
[47:59] Wilhelm
my wife accepted her fate.
[48:04] Wilhelm
I took the sword from her
and forced her to abandon
[48:06] Wilhelm
the title of "Master Swordsman"
when I married her.
[48:10] Wilhelm
But the sword would not allow her to do that.
[48:17] Wilhelm
Subaru-dono, I thank you again.
[48:20] Wilhelm
In this battle, I can find answers
in my own sword.
[48:26] Wilhelm
And perhaps I will finally be
able to visit my wife's grave.
[48:32] Wilhelm
At last, I can go and see her.
[48:39] Subaru
Let's work together to beat the
hell out of that damn whale.
[48:43] Subaru
I'll help with everything I've got, too.
[49:07] Crusch
Only a short time remains.
[49:35] Crusch
Troops, be on guard!
[49:45] Guy
I don't see it...
[49:57] Crusch
It's not coming?
[50:00] Guy
Is that...
[50:37] Crusch
Troops—
[50:37] Subaru
Let him have it!
[50:39] Rem
Al Huma!
[50:57] Crusch
Troops! Follow those two fools!
