[00:10] Felis
    Just now joining us, Julius?
[00:12] ---
    Thanks for gracing us with your presence.
[00:15] Julius
    Please... You will ruin my reputation.
[00:18] Julius
    But I am not the man called "Julius."
[00:23] Julius
    Let's see...
[00:25] ---
    Perhaps I shall go by "Juli."
[00:28] Julius
    Even if it is temporary,
[00:30] Julius
    a man with a knight's status
    must never lower himself
[00:34] Julius
    to the rank of mercenary.
[00:36] Julius
    The man you see here is not
    Julius Euclius, the knight,
[00:41] Julius
    but a simple wanderer called Juli.
[00:44] Felis
    A proper household's code of
    chivalry is a real pain, huh?
[00:47] Subaru
    Bull...
[00:49] Julius
    It seems you're doing better than I expected.
[00:52] Julius
    How are you feeling?
[00:55] Subaru
    Well, there were only some scratches!
[00:58] Subaru
    A little spit fixed them right up!
[01:00] Subaru
    What about you?
[01:01] ---
    Been busy writing apologies
[01:04] ---
    for fighting so seriously with an amateur?
[01:08] Julius
    I didn't mean that...
[01:10] Julius
    I was talking about the damage to your
    honor by the mabeast subjugation.
[01:16] Julius
    But I'm glad your wounds from
    before seem to have healed.
[01:27] Subaru
    Thanks to all of you, we succeeded
    in defeating the White Whale.
[01:30] Subaru
    But it's not over yet.
[01:33] Subaru
    I have to settle a score with the Witch's
    Cult guys that picked a fight with me.
[01:38] Subaru
    Once that's done,
[01:39] ---
    the White Whale subjugation will be complete.
[01:41] Mimi
    The Witch's Cult is next?!
[01:43] Tivey
    Can we trust allegations that the White Whale
    and the Witch's Cult are connected?
[01:48] Tivey
    We only came as reinforcements for
    the White Whale's subjugation—
[01:51] Tivey
    What was that for?
[01:53] Mimi
    If you can't believe him,
[01:55] ---
    then you just need to believe me!
[01:58] Subaru
    I'd prefer it if you believed me, though.
[02:03] Subaru
    I don't like to recall it,
[02:05] Subaru
    but I've run up against
    the Witch's Cult before.
[02:07] Subaru
    I learned it then.
[02:09] Felis
    Didn't you look into that, Old Man Wil?
[02:12] Wilhelm
    I would not term it definitive evidence,
[02:15] Wilhelm
    but the distributions of Whale
    appearances and Cult activities
[02:18] Wilhelm
    coincided in several respects.
[02:21] Subaru
    That makes it doubly credible!
[02:24] Subaru
    On that note,
[02:25] ---
    we're going to head
    for the Mathers domain.
[02:28] Subaru
    The Witch's Cult is hiding in the forest there.
[02:31] Subaru
    The way we defeat them
    is as simple as it gets.
[02:34] Subaru
    Raid them before they can
    read our movements,
[02:36] ---
    and crush them!
[02:38] Conwood
    Is there a way to protect the villagers?
[02:41] Subaru
    I asked Anastasia-san and Russell-san
[02:43] Subaru
    to talk to the merchants along the highway.
[02:47] Subaru
    Under the condition that Margrave Mathers
    buys their cargo at asking prices,
[02:52] Subaru
    they'll ask the merchants
    to evacuate the Arlam
[02:54] ---
    villagers and Roswaal mansion residents.
[02:58] Subaru
    And a messenger from Crusch-san's household
[03:01] ---
    is headed for the mansion
    with a handwritten letter.
[03:03] Subaru
    There will be chaos
[03:05] ---
    if we don't notify Emilia and the rest
    about the alliance and such.
SIGN    Sounds like we're all ready.
[03:11] Both
    Yeah!
[03:12] Wilhelm
    We have never enjoyed such an advantage
    in a battle with the Witch's Cult.
[03:17] Subaru
    Yeah.
[03:18] ---
    With Julius and his crew, we don't have
    to worry about being outnumbered.
[03:24] Julius
    I would like to offer one correction.
[03:28] Julius
    My name is Juli.
[03:30] Julius
    Please take care to use it.
[03:31] Subaru
    That'll just be a hassle in casual settings!
[03:38] Subaru
    The battle with the White Whale
    was so tough, I thought I'd die.
[03:43] Subaru
    Some of us did die.
[03:46] Subaru
    Some others vanished, never to return.
[03:52] Subaru
    Let's win the war without losing anyone here.
[03:56] Subaru
    Let's all return home alive!
[04:06] Julius
    You really managed to win?
[04:08] Subaru
    Huh?
[04:10] Julius
    The subjugation of the White Whale
[04:12] Julius
    was a long-standing wish
    of the Imperial Knights.
[04:18] Julius
    It seems I owe you my thanks.
[04:21] Subaru
    You don't have to force it.
[04:23] Julius
    For putting an end to a calamity that
    all nations ignored for far too long,
[04:28] Julius
    I thank you.
[04:33] Subaru
    I'm...
[04:35] Subaru
    grateful to you, too.
[04:37] Subaru
    For coming to back us up.
[04:40] Subaru
    Even after what happened.
[04:43] Subaru
    About that, I was...
[04:46] Subaru
    Oh, damn it! Crap!
[04:48] ---
    I know, okay? I know it now!
[04:53] Subaru
    It was my fault.
[04:55] Subaru
    Sorry. I... I apologize.
[05:00] Julius
    I apologize, as well.
[05:03] Julius
    I cannot take back my words and actions,
[05:08] Julius
    but I apologize, from the bottom
    of my heart, for belittling you.
[05:12] Subaru
    I'm sorry, but...
[05:16] Subaru
    I hate your guts.
[05:18] Subaru
    I feel bad for what happened,
    and I'm grateful you're here.
[05:22] Subaru
    But I hate your guts.
[05:25] Subaru
    Seriously, I hate you from
    the bottom of my heart!
[05:32] Julius
    That is fine.
[05:34] Julius
    I have no intention
    of befriending you, either.
[05:43] Subaru
    All right, as I say every time,
    let's get this fight started.
[05:46] Subaru
    Fate, bring it on!
[06:07] Puck
    You must be exhausted, Lia.
[06:08] Puck
    You should rest a bit.
[06:11] Emilia
    No.
[06:12] ---
    I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep.
[06:15] Emilia
    What about you? Aren't you tired?
[06:17] Puck
    I'm fine.
[06:19] ---
    The forest barrier is all fixed up, too.
[06:21] Puck
    You don't have to worry about anything!
[06:23] Emilia
    Yeah.
[06:26] Emilia
    But...
[06:39] Subaru
    This feels like the time
[06:42] ---
    I found a cockroach in the
    corner of a quiet room.
[06:46] Subaru
    You were drawn to the smell, huh?
[06:48] ---
    Perfect cockroach bait...
[06:51] Subaru
    Do I really smell that bad?
[06:55] Subaru
    Thanks for coming to meet me.
[06:57] Subaru
    Sorry to say it when you just arrived,
[06:59] Subaru
    but I'll leave you to work the
    details out for yourselves.
[07:02] Subaru
    So don't get in my way.
[07:08] Subaru
    If they'd stuck around long enough
    for me to order them
[07:11] Suabru
    to gather their stuff and go home,
    this would've been easier...
[07:23] Betel
    I have been waiting for you, believer in love.
[07:27] Betel
    In the Witch's Cult, I am a Sin Archbishop,
    representing sloth,
[07:31] Betel
    Betelgeuse Romanée-Conti.
[07:36] Betel
    I welcome you,
    beloved child, blessed with love.
[07:39] Betel
    Wonderful!
[07:42] Betel
    Wonderful!
[07:46] Subaru
    Hey.
[07:48] Subaru
    I really appreciate the unexpected welcome.
[07:51] Subaru
    But I'm not sure I really feel this
    "love" you keep bringing up.
[07:55] Betel
    It always begins suddenly.
[07:57] Betel
    Everyone, on a certain day,
[07:59] Betel
    realizes that they are loved.
[08:01] Betel
    They feel the love!
[08:03] Betel
    The love! The love! The love! The love!
    The love! The love! The love!
[08:07] Subaru
    Um, and what am I supposed to do now?
[08:11] Betel
    Ah, the witch's generous love...
[08:15] Betel
    You wouldn't happen to be Pride, would you?
[08:20] Betel
    Of the six Sin Archbishops,
[08:22] Betel
    only Pride's seat remains vacant...
[08:27] Betel
    You have
[08:29] Betel
    received the Gospel, haven't you?
[08:33] Subaru
    The Gospel?
[08:35] Betel
    My brain
[08:37] Betel
    trembles!
[08:41] Betel
    Presentation of the Gospel,
[08:43] Betel
    proof of love...
[08:45] Betel
    Proof! Proof! Proof! Proof!
[08:49] Betel
    Huh?
[08:52] Betel
    My Gospel has no account of you.
[08:56] Subaru
    That book is the Gospel?
[08:58] Betel
    Then why did you appear here?
[09:02] ---
    Why visit here?
[09:03] Betel
    What fortune are you here to deliver?!
[09:07] Subaru
    Oh! So that's the Gospel!
[09:10] Subaru
    I see, I see...
[09:12] Subaru
    I understand, I understand.
[09:14] Subaru
    You should have just said so.
[09:18] Subaru
    Aw, darn it! I'm sorry!
[09:22] Betel
    What?
[09:23] Subaru
    My Gospel is, well, you know...
[09:27] Subaru
    I used it as a coaster, and it got messy.
[09:31] Subaru
    So I threw it out.
[09:38] Betel
    Proof of love!
[09:39] Betel
    Authority of Sloth...
[09:41] Betel
    Unseen Hand!
[09:44] Betel
    What?
[09:45] Subaru
    It's an "unseen hand," right?
[09:47] Subaru
    So if I can see it, I can evade it!
[09:50] Betel
    You can see my Unseen Hand?!
[09:54] Subaru
    Okay, I'm just about done buying time!
[10:11] Subaru
    Prepare to be buried alive!
[10:13] Subaru
    Suffer, as you regret the things you've done!
[10:17] Betel
    How... How could this be?
[10:20] Betel
    My fingers, so cruelly, so mercilessly,
[10:26] Betel
    so chaotically, so arbitrarily,
    so artlessly, so meaninglessly...
[10:33] Betel
    My brain... My brain trembles!
[10:38] Mimi
    Yikes, that guy's kinda scary.
[10:41] Tivey
    I think all the Witch's Cult
    members are like that.
[10:46] Betel
    Yes, of course...
[10:50] Betel
    Fine... Fine.
[10:52] Betel
    I understand. Let's do this.
    I'm ready to do this.
[10:56] Betel
    The time has come to learn which
    of us is worthy of her love!
[11:01] Betel
    Her love! Yes, her love!
[11:04] Subaru
    Sorry to interrupt your fun, but...
[11:07] Betel
    —ove?
[11:08] Subaru
    I have someone else lined up to take you on!
[11:24] Subaru
    I-It's over... Right?
[11:28] Felix
    He's very much dead!
[11:30] Felix
    The capital's most powerful
    healer guarantees it.
[11:34] Subaru
    I see...
[11:37] Subaru
    Wilhelm-san, I'm sorry to ask
    such an unreasonable favor.
[11:40] Wilhelm
    Was it unreasonable?
[11:43] Subaru
    Isn't cutting someone down
    without warning, from behind,
[11:46] Subaru
    the worst thing a knight can do?
[11:48] Wilhelm
    Chivalry is long dead.
[11:53] Wilhelm
    You need not concern yourself with that.
[11:55] Tivey
    Hmm... Doesn't look like he's
    carrying anything useful.
[12:02] Subaru
    You mini guys are ransacking his corpse
    like it's the obvious thing to do...
[12:06] Tivey
    I'm not mini. I'm Tivey.
[12:08] Tivey
    I think it's our right to search
    out the spoils of battle.
[12:15] Tivey
    What is this?
[12:17] Subaru
    I think it's the book that Betelgeuse
    called a "Gospel."
[12:21] Tivey
    Eep! This is a Gospel?!
[12:24] Tivey
    Oh, no! I touched it!
[12:30] Subaru
    I can't read it...
[12:31] Subaru
    Felis, can you read this?
[12:33] Felix
    Whoa, nyo way! Don't point that thing at me!
[12:36] Felix
    And don't do something as stupid
    as trying to read a Gospel!
[12:40] Subaru
    Is it that dangerous?
[12:44] Wilhelm
    The Gospel is the proof that one
    belongs to the Witch's Cult.
[12:47] Wilhelm
    They're basically their sacred texts.
[12:50] Subaru
    Sacred texts?
[12:51] Felix
    Rumors say one is delivered to anyone
    with the potential to join the cult.
[12:57] Felix
    And once a person gets it... Imagine that.
[13:00] Felix
    They're nyow a devout member
    of the Witch's Cult.
[13:04] Subaru
    How shady can you get?
[13:08] Subaru
    Well, I guess I'll take this with me.
[13:11] Subaru
    If I can decipher it,
[13:12] ---
    maybe I can figure out what
    the Witch's Cult really is.
[13:16] Mimi
    Hey, hey, we've killed the enemy here,
[13:20] Mimi
    so shouldn't we go make sure the
    other enemies are dead, too?
[13:24] Subaru
    You know, as adorable as you look,
[13:26] ---
    you say some pretty disturbing things...
[13:29] Mimi
    Aw, I'm adorable? You're makin' me blush!
[13:33] Wilhelm
    Then the subordinates that Betelgeuse
    called "fingers" number ten, in total?
[13:39] Tivey
    I think one of them is pinned under there.
[13:41] Mimi
    Ten minus one is nine!
[13:43] ---
    So nine are left!
[13:46] Wilhelm
    Then, shall we go?
[13:55] Subaru
    But they really are dead, right?
[13:58] Subaru
    They won't come back the second
    we look away, right?
[14:01] Mimi
    Fine... If you're that
    worried, we'll make sure.
[14:11] Julius
    We crushed two fingers here.
[14:14] Julius
    A few of the cultists were skilled,
    but they posed no threat.
[14:19] Julius
    Driving them off, we made no error.
[14:21] Subaru
    I'm glad it went well for you guys, too...
[14:23] Julius
    Given your demeanor,
[14:25] ---
    evidently, I can assume your
    news is good, as well?
[14:28] Subaru
    Yep, we took out Betelgeuse!
[14:31] Mimi
    And since this guy is such a worrywart,
[14:33] Mimi
    we blasted him to bits with one more
    "kaboom" after we killed him!
[14:36] Mimi
    All to bits!
[14:39] Guy
    Then, that leaves the simple task of
    mopping up the remnants, huh?
SIGN    We'd better hurry
[14:44] ---
    and take care of 'em before
    my lady turns into an old granny...
SIGN    Oh, that was my best joke, y'know!
[14:53] Julius
    We rendezvous soon with the dragon-drawn
    carriages you arranged.
[14:56] Julius
    Let us eliminate the remaining fingers
    and greet our victory together.
[15:01] Felix
    Okay, Subaru-kyun, time for the bait.
[15:03] ---
    Put out that smell!
[15:05] Felix
    Breathe in...
[15:07] Felix
    And out...
[15:09] Mimi
    And out... And out... And out...
[15:13] Subaru
    Hey, hang on! Don't be crazy!
[15:20] Subaru
    So I guess...
[15:22] Subaru
    Once this is all done,
[15:23] ---
    we'll go back to being friend and foe.
[15:26] Julius
    How confident of you to worry
    about what is yet to come.
[15:29] Subaru
    Hey, sue me.
[15:31] ---
    It's going almost too well, so I
    may have lowered my guard.
[15:38] Subaru
    Get down!
SIGN    What is this?
SIGN    What's goin' on?!
[15:54] Subaru
    The Unseen Hand...
[15:56] Subaru
    Betelgeuse should be dead!
[15:58] Subaru
    So who's—
[16:02] Wilhelm
    Subaru-dono!
[16:07] Subaru
    Damn it!
[16:19] Woman
    Ah!
[16:20] Woman
    My brain... trembles...
[16:26] Subaru
    Who are you?
[16:31] Subaru
    Wh-Who the hell are you?
[16:34] Subaru
    Are you Betelgeuse's...
[16:37] Woman
    Finger, yes!
[16:41] Subaru
    Let me go...
[16:43] Woman
    I am a finger,
[16:45] Woman
    one who reciprocates love.
[16:48] Woman
    A faithful, diligent
    disciple who will carry out
[16:52] ---
    the Ordeal, following the guidance of love!
[16:57] Subaru
    A copy?
[16:58] Subaru
    A replica of... the original Betelgeuse?
[17:02] Subaru
    If so, this couldn't...
    possibly get any worse.
[17:08] Woman
    Sniff, sniff.
[17:10] Woman
    The love that hangs from you does not
    compare to that of a mere follower.
[17:14] Woman
    It is equal to that of a Sin Archbishop.
[17:18] Woman
    It is exceedingly
[17:19] Woman
    displeasing, dissatisfying, disagreeable,
    discomforting, disproportionate, discordant!
[17:25] Woman
    But that is the proof that you are Pride!
[17:30] Subaru
    Don't make me keep saying it...
[17:32] Subaru
    I'm not even close to Pride.
[17:34] Subaru
    I've never gotten a free book,
    even as a membership perk!
[17:37] Woman
    My! Are you being stubborn?
[17:41] Woman
    Still, soon enough, you will quite readily...
[17:45] Woman
    The Gospel...
[17:47] Woman
    The guidance of my love!
[17:49] Woman
    The Gospel that allows me,
    though inexperienced, to return love!
[17:53] Woman
    It isn't with me now!
[17:59] Woman
    Was it you?
[18:02] Woman
    You? You? You? You? You? You? You? You?!
[18:05] Woman
    Did you steal it?!
[18:11] Subaru
    Wha...
[18:12] Woman
    A spirit?
[18:17] Woman
    A spirit!
[18:19] Woman
    Spirit! Spirit! Spirit!
[18:27] Subaru
    Damn it.
[18:34] Woman
    Is that all you can do?
[18:36] Woman
    If so...
[18:37] Woman
    Be dismayed. Disappointed. Dejected.
[18:40] Woman
    Are you two slothful?!
[18:49] Woman
    My life is spilling out...
[18:51] ---
    My blood is running dry.
[18:54] Woman
    My diligent pulse, my life's support,
[18:59] Woman
    is stopping... disappearing.
[19:02] Woman
    Ah, my brain... trembl—
[19:09] Felix
    The first Sloth we defeated was a double,
[19:12] Felix
    and this was the real one?
[19:15] Julius
    No,
[19:16] ---
    this may not be a matter of which is real.
[19:20] Wilhelm
    You mean that there may be more
    than one Sin Archbishop of Sloth?
[19:25] Julius
    Either that...
[19:26] Julius
    Or all hundred followers,
    including the fingers,
[19:29] Julius
    are the Sin Archbishop of Sloth.
[19:32] Subaru
    I dragged you all into this.
[19:47] Subaru
    If I'd realized it sooner, I could
    have avoided this.
[19:51] Subaru
    I knew what kind of power it was, so I...
[19:57] Wilhelm
    Subaru-dono...
[19:59] Wilhelm
    I am sure that many thoughts are running
    through your mind right now.
[20:06] Wilhelm
    And I am certain none are superficial.
[20:10] Wilhelm
    But while this may be inelegant
    of me, I must say this.
[20:16] Wilhelm
    Fight!
[20:19] Wilhelm
    Even if you have regrets,
[20:21] ---
    even if you have remorse, you must fight.
[20:23] Wilhelm
    If you have made the decision for
    yourself to fight, to struggle,
[20:29] Wilhelm
    then fight with all you have.
[20:32] Wilhelm
    Do not give up for one second,
    one moment, or one instant.
[20:37] Wilhelm
    Cling greedily to the victory
    you have within your sight.
[20:40] Wilhelm
    If you can still stand,
    if your fingers still move,
[20:45] Wilhelm
    if all your teeth have not broken.
[20:47] Wilhelm
    Stand and fight.
[20:52] Wilhelm
    You must fight.
[20:56] Subaru
    You're telling me to get stronger?
[20:59] Wilhelm
    No.
[21:01] Wilhelm
    I am telling you to be strong.
[21:05] Wilhelm
    Ready to go?
[21:08] Subaru
    Yeah, let's go.
[21:11] Subaru
    Lend me your wisdom and strength!
[21:16] Subaru
    We're gonna start evacuating
    the mansion and village!
[21:19] Subaru
    Don't waste a single second!
[21:24] Subaru
    Right now,
[21:26] ---
    the Witch's Cult hasn't noticed yet
    that the plain is wide open.
[21:29] Subaru
    We can get Emilia and the others in carriages,
[21:31] ---
    and get them to safety in plain sight.
[21:35] Felix
    With Emilia-sama and the others safe,
    we won't have to worry about them.
[21:39] Felix
    So we can focus on
    subjugating the Witch's Cult.
[21:41] Felix
    Fighting isn't easy when you know
    you have a weak point!
[21:45] Subaru
    You're making my ears hurt...
[21:46] Subaru
    But that's exactly right.
[21:49] Felix
    While I'm at it, let me say one more thing.
[21:53] Felix
    Subaru-kyun, you should really
    make up with Julius soon.
[21:57] Subaru
    Soon? We already reconciled after our fight.
[22:01] ---
    You didn't see?
[22:02] Felix
    That was just for starters, wasn't it?
[22:05] Felix
    You still subconsciously harbor resentment.
[22:09] Felix
    You can rely on Julius.
[22:11] Felix
    But I admit he is a bit unapproachable
    and incomprehensible.
[22:19] Felix
    Go on, hurry up.
[22:22] Subaru
    Okay, fine!
[22:29] Subaru
    Uh...
[22:30] Subaru
    So, hey, there's something
    I wanted to say to you...
