[00:07] Subaru
    What the hell's going on?
[00:09] ---
    Is this the Witch Cult's doing?
[00:11] Subaru
    Hey! Anyone?
[00:13] Subaru
    Is anyone there?
[00:15] Subaru
    Answer me!
[00:19] Subaru
    Wh-What is that intense smell?
[00:36] Subaru
    P-Patrasche!
[00:43] Subaru
    No...
[00:44] Subaru
    A flower like this couldn't actually exist.
[00:48] Subaru
    And Patrasche wouldn't just let me die...
[00:51] Subaru
    Which means... This is an illusion.
[00:55] Subaru
    It's all make-believe!
[01:08] Subaru
    A lesser spirit? Did you come to help me?
[01:15] Julius
    Subaru!
[01:17] Subaru
    It was you?
[01:19] Julius
    That spiteful tone means it's definitely you.
[01:23] Julius
    I cannot imagine my subconscious
[01:25] ---
    creating such a realistic imitation of you.
[01:31] Julius
    This is a bewitching spell.
[01:34] Julius
    Only you and I have returned to normal.
[01:38] Julius
    How did you make it back?
[01:39] Subaru
    I burned a flower in my illusion.
[01:42] Julius
    I see.
[01:43] Julius
    Someone put a suggestion
    on the flower's scent.
[01:49] Subaru
    Hey, is that...
[01:51] Julius
    The glow of my little buds.
[01:54] Julius
    I will teach everyone how to break
    out of the bewitching spell.
[01:57] Julius
    In... Nes.
[02:06] Mimi
    Hi-ho! Hi-ho! No one's here! Where am I?!
[02:11] Wilhelm
    I've strayed away... No,
    we've been pulled apart!
[02:12] JUlius
    Is his affinity too great?
[02:13] Wilhelm
    This is bad! If I don't do something...
[02:15] Julius
    I'm sorry. Take a deep breath
    and endure it.
SIGN    No, this is awful! No matter how much
    forest I destroy, nothin' changes!
[02:18] Julius
    I cannot spare the energy to
    fine-tune it just for you.
[02:18] Felix
    For this to happen at a time
    like this... Crusch-sama!
[02:21] Julius
    Bringing everyone back is our priority.
[02:38] Wilhelm
    That will be quite enough.
[02:44] Ram
    Kill me.
[02:46] ---
    I won't accept this disgrace.
[02:47] ---
    
[04:20] Ram
    And? What is the meaning of all this?
[04:23] Ram
    Barusu, you'll explain it to me, right?
[04:25] Subaru
    That's what I'd like to ask you.
[04:28] Subaru
    You're the one who attacked us first.
[04:31] Subaru
    What were you thinking?
[04:32] Ram
    You shouldn't have to
    ask what I was thinking.
[04:35] Ram
    It's rich, coming from an ingrate like you.
[04:37] Subaru
    Ingrate?
[04:39] Ram
    You are, aren't you?
[04:40] Ram
    After everything Roswaal-sama did for you...
[04:44] Ram
    Once you're done with him, you'd rush
    to wag your tail for another master.
[04:47] Subaru
    Hang on! I think you're
    mixing up your stories!
[04:50] Ram
    So this is what it means to bite
    the hand that feeds you.
[04:54] Subaru
    Listen to me... The handwritten letter!
[04:56] ---
    I wrote you a letter about this!
[04:58] Subaru
    Wasn't it delivered to the mansion?
[05:00] Ram
    Yes, I did get a letter from the capital,
[05:03] Ram
    but...
[05:04] Ram
    It was quite amusing,
    sending me a blank letter.
[05:08] Subaru
    A blank letter?
[05:10] Julius
    To send a blank letter
[05:12] Julius
    is a metaphor that means you have
[05:15] ---
    no intention of speaking to the recipient.
[05:18] Julius
    It could easily be interpreted
    as a declaration of war.
[05:21] Subaru
    This is a huge misunderstanding!
[05:23] Subaru
    Do I even look that clever to you?
[05:26] Ram
    So this is what it means to bite
    the hand that feeds you.
[05:29] Subaru
    You're still saying that?
[05:30] Ram
    I can't say it enough.
[05:32] Ram
    But I get the gist now.
[05:35] Ram
    The blank letter was some kind of mistake,
[05:37] Ram
    and you are still Emilia-sama's dog.
[05:40] Ram
    Correct?
[05:41] Subaru
    Not really, but...
[05:42] Subaru
    Okay, sure. Dogs are like family, anyway.
[05:46] Subaru
    I'm fine as a dog if I belong to Emilia.
[05:49] Wilhelm
    Would you not say that standard is a bit low?
[05:53] Subaru
    In any case, these guys are reinforcements.
[05:55] ---
    They're friends.
[05:56] Subaru
    We pulled them together to
    wipe out the Witch's Cult.
[06:00] Subaru
    There's no time.
[06:02] ---
    We need to start by evacuating the villagers.
[06:12] Julius
    Subaru, they seem rather uneasy.
[06:17] Julius
    Remember to be considerate.
[06:20] Subaru
    Okay, attention!
[06:22] Subaru
    I haven't seen you guys in a while.
[06:24] ---
    How have you been?
[06:25] Subaru
    Look, I know this is sudden,
[06:27] ---
    but I need to ask you all a favor!
[06:29] Subaru
    It seems mabeasts are up to no
    good in the nearby forest again.
[06:34] Subaru
    So I've brought some specialists
    to exterminate them...
[06:39] Subaru
    But while they're working,
[06:40] ---
    I'd like you all to leave the village.
[06:43] Head
    Don't try to fool us!
[06:45] Head
    You're trying to sound cheerful about this,
    but the villagers are frightened!
[06:50] Head
    All along, we've been afraid the
    Witch's Cult would try something!
[06:53] Ketty
    The Witch's Cult? No one told me about that.
[06:55] Guy
    Hey, wait...
[06:56] Guy
    Seriously?
[06:57] Guy
    Why lie about that?
[06:58] Guy
    Maybe he's trying to hide something.
[07:02] Head
    You don't deny it, then?
[07:05] Guy
    Then, it was true!
[07:07] Guy
    Why would they bother a
    remote village like this?
[07:09] Guy
    Why else? Because of that half-elf!
[07:12] Guy
    Because this domain's lord is endorsing
    that half-elf for ruler!
[07:17] Subaru
    Why do you have to make it about that?
[07:19] Subaru
    The half-elf thing...
[07:21] Subaru
    Emilia has nothing to do with it!
[07:23] Guy
    She has everything to do with it!
[07:25] Guy
    If you mess with a half-elf,
    the Witch's Cult shows up.
[07:28] Guy
    Even the village children know that!
[07:32] Subaru
    You guys seriously believe that?
[07:36] Subaru
    That it's the fault of the half-elf
    in the mansion?!
[07:43] Emilia
    The village, huh?
[07:44] Emilia
    But it might cause trouble for you.
[07:51] Subaru
    Does that mean I'm just being selfish again?
[07:59] Felix
    "Lift your head. Don't look down."
[08:02] ---
    That's what Crusch-sama would say.
[08:05] Subaru
    You...
[08:06] Felix
    Do you think what you're doing is wrong?
[08:09] Felix
    If not, there's no reason to look down.
[08:12] Felix
    Or is it harder to lift your head here
[08:15] ---
    than to throw a tantrum in the castle?
[08:18] Subaru
    Now, listen...
[08:20] Subaru
    You're right.
[08:22] Subaru
    Compared to that, this is nothing!
[08:26] Subaru
    I understand your feelings and
    concerns very well!
[08:29] Subaru
    I won't tell you to try to change them now.
[08:33] Subaru
    Obviously, you'll have your own opinions.
[08:35] Subaru
    It hurts, but I understand.
[08:39] Subaru
    But for now, please accept my request.
[08:42] Subaru
    Please do as I say!
[08:43] Subaru
    Staying in the village is dangerous.
[08:46] ---
    That's the truth!
[08:49] Ram
    The words of my household's employee
[08:52] Ram
    are those of our master,
    Roswaal-sama, himself.
[08:55] Subaru
    Ram...
[08:56] Ram
    Follow his instructions immediately.
[09:03] Subaru
    You saved me back there. Thanks.
[09:06] Subaru
    But...
[09:07] Ram
    What?
[09:08] Subaru
    Having you take my side so easily
    is kind of a new feeling.
[09:12] Subaru
    Does that mean you've acknowledged me?
[09:16] Petra
    Subaru!
[09:18] Subaru
    Hey, Petra... What's up?
[09:21] Petra
    U-Um, will the lady from the
    mansion run away with us?
[09:26] Subaru
    Huh?
[09:27] Petra
    She came to the village yesterday.
[09:31] Petra
    She told us
[09:32] Petra
    we should take refuge in the mansion because
[09:34] ---
    it's dangerous here, just like you said.
[09:38] Petra
    But no one in the village
    would listen to her.
[09:42] Subaru
    It's okay.
[09:44] Subaru
    She wouldn't get mad or anything.
[09:47] Subaru
    Anyway, you should hurry and run.
[09:48] Petra
    Okay!
[09:53] Subaru
    What happened to Emilia after that?
[09:55] Ram
    You should know that she isn't
    so perceptive as to back down
[09:59] ---
    the moment someone denies her.
[10:01] Subaru
    But I also know she's not the kind of girl
    who wouldn't be hurt by mean words.
[10:07] Ram
    She tried to convince the villagers
    to leave, but they refused.
[10:10] Ram
    But she couldn't do nothing,
[10:12] Ram
    so she repaired the forest barrier.
[10:16] Ram
    She feared there might be a mabeast attack.
[10:19] Subaru
    In and of itself, that's not a
    bad decision, but still...
[10:25] Subaru
    Julius...
[10:27] Subaru
    Come with me.
[10:28] Subaru
    I'm going to explain things to Emilia
    and the loli in the mansion.
[10:32] Subaru
    With you there, it'll be more convincing.
[10:37] Subaru
    Just take it as a sign of my repentance
    for going nuts in the castle.
[10:42] Julius
    I see. Understood.
[10:44] Julius
    If that will help the discussion
    to go more smoothly,
[10:47] Julius
    do not hesitate to use me.
[10:49] Subaru
    Also...
[10:51] Subaru
    You were the one who put a
    spirit on me, weren't you?
[10:55] Subaru
    Explain that.
[10:57] Subaru
    I get that you're a spirit arts user.
[11:00] Julius
    More precisely, I prefer to
    be called a "spirit knight."
[11:04] Julius
    I do use the spirit arts, of course.
[11:06] Julius
    But that has not prevented me
    from training with the sword.
[11:11] Subaru
    And you were the one who set
    the little red one on me?
[11:15] Julius
    "Set it on you" is a harsh way to put it.
[11:17] Julius
    I was only having her,
    Ia, secretly protect you.
[11:22] Subaru
    By the way, what was that thing you
    did when you broke the illusion?
[11:26] Julius
    A high class of magic known as "Nect."
[11:29] Julius
    It connects the gates
    of all who are in range,
[11:32] Julius
    so they can communicate with each other.
[11:35] Julius
    However, it appeared to work
    a bit too well on you.
[11:38] Subaru
    I thought I was about to lose myself.
[11:41] Julius
    For the spirits to mistake
    the tuning is unusual.
[11:44] Julius
    You may have a strong affinity
    with spirits, perhaps.
[11:50] Subaru
    Sadly, the only spirit I ever made
    friends with was a gray cat.
[11:57] Felix
    Well? Did you patch things up with Julius?
[12:00] Felix
    Did it work out?
[12:01] Subaru
    I'm taking that matter back with me,
[12:03] ---
    to mull over carefully before I
    make an optimistic decision.
[12:07] Subaru
    Come to the mansion with me.
[12:09] Subaru
    I'll need at least one person from
    the Crusch camp with me,
[12:12] ---
    to smooth over the misunderstanding
    with the letter.
[12:15] Felix
    I'll do that after I finish my work here.
[12:18] Felix
    Subaru-kyun, come help us, too.
[12:20] Felix
    It's dangerous work
    involving the Witch's Cult.
[12:23] Felix
    The contract said he'd buy their
    cargo at the asking price,
[12:26] Felix
    so we must thoroughly inspect the goods.
[12:28] Subaru
    Huh? But that shouldn't be our job.
[12:32] Subaru
    Isn't this more importa—
[12:33] Felix
    Oh, come on!
[12:34] Ketty
    Hey, hey... No lovers' quarrels
    in my carriage!
[12:39] Felix
    Hee-hee! You got in trouble, Subaru-kyun!
[12:43] Felix
    Really, what a troublemaker!
[12:46] Felix
    There. He lowered his guard.
[12:53] Felix
    This guy's one of the Witch's Cult.
[12:55] Felix
    I touched him earlier to confirm it.
[12:57] Felix
    A weird spell is implanted in him,
[13:00] ---
    just like the "fingers"
    of the Sin Archbishops.
[13:02] Subaru
    One was among the merchants?
[13:04] Felix
    That's why I stole into his carriage,
    to get under his guard.
[13:08] Felix
    Now, tell us all the details concerning
    what you're plotting.
[13:13] Felix
    My hands are the gentlest in the world,
[13:16] Felix
    but they can do some nasty things, too.
[13:18] ---
    That's...
[13:20] Felix
    What?
[13:22] Ketty
    ...right.
[13:24] Felix
    Ia!
[13:25] Ketty
    And now, it's the beginning
[13:25] Felix
    Protect him!
[13:26] Ketty
    of the end!
[13:28] ---
    
[13:40] Felix
    Thank goodness... You're awake.
[13:43] Subaru
    Why are... you dressed like that?
[13:46] Felix
    I had no choice.
[13:48] ---
    I can't reproduce clothes with healing magic.
[13:51] Julius
    Regardless, given the situation,
[13:53] ---
    I'm glad you and Felis are all right.
[13:56] Guy
    Run 'em off! Don't back down!
[14:02] Subaru
    How did they get into the village?
[14:04] Felix
    They stowed away in the carriages.
[14:07] Felix
    There was a finger among the merchants,
[14:09] ---
    and we didn't take care of him.
[14:10] Felix
    I failed.
[14:12] Julius
    This is not the time for regrets.
[14:14] Julius
    We had Tivey and Madame Ram evacuate
    to the mansion with the injured.
[14:19] Julius
    Felis, join them and heal who you can.
[14:21] Felix
    Got it.
[14:23] Subaru
    Okay, let's crush all the
    fingers that are left!
[14:33] Guy
    To think, to think, to think, to think!
[14:36] Guy
    That you would resist us this much!
[14:45] Guy
    Such tenacity, clinging to this
    ever-increasing love...
[14:50] Guy
    As a diligent disciple, I cannot
    begin to express my respect.
[14:55] Guy
    Ah! My brain trembles!
[14:58] Wilhelm
    You're mine.
[15:06] Guy
    In battle, if one focuses on what
    the unseen arm does,
[15:09] Guy
    one will fail to see what is visible.
[15:12] Guy
    That is sloth, yes?
[15:15] Guy
    Yes.
[15:25] Julius
    He self-destructed.
[15:27] Subaru
    Wilhelm-san!
[15:31] Subaru
    We can't leave you like this.
[15:33] ---
    We've gotta get you to Felis!
[15:35] Woman
    Why?
[15:37] Woman
    Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?!
[15:40] Woman
    Why are you still alive?
[15:44] Woman
    After the attack you just endured... Why?!
[15:48] Woman
    Why do you not bend to my diligence?!
[15:51] Subaru
    At a time like this... And they keep coming!
[15:54] Subaru
    Hey, look here!
[15:55] ---
    This is what you're looking for, right?
[15:57] Subaru
    It's a gift from your precious witch.
[16:01] Woman
    You thief!
[16:03] Woman
    You really did have it!
[16:06] Subaru
    Quit shouting...
[16:08] ---
    If you keep yelling at me like that,
[16:10] Subaru
    it'll make my brain tremble.
[16:13] Woman
    You must
[16:14] Woman
    die!
[16:16] Subaru
    Julius, we'll handle things here.
[16:19] Subaru
    You take care of your end!
[16:21] Subaru
    And take care of Wilhelm-san!
[16:22] Julius
    That is quite a vague order,
[16:25] ---
    but very well.
[16:28] Subaru
    Julius...
[16:30] Subaru
    Actually, it can wait!
[16:36] Woman
    Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
[16:38] ---
    Wait, right there...
[16:41] Woman
    You cowardly, foolish, insolent, little man!
[16:46] Woman
    No matter where you try to run, it's futile.
[16:50] Woman
    What do you expect to find at
    wherever you're running to?
[17:00] Woman
    At long last, it would seem the end has come!
[17:06] Subaru
    Do you
[17:07] Subaru
    know what this is?
[17:11] Subaru
    It's a magic stone for creating barriers.
[17:13] Subaru
    They were stashed in trees
    throughout the forest.
[17:16] Subaru
    You didn't notice?
[17:18] Woman
    What are you talking about?
[17:30] Subaru
    This area is a mabeast breeding ground,
[17:33] Subaru
    and we're a prime feast for them.
[17:36] Subaru
    At least, if you don't have one
    of Emilia's barrier stones!
[17:46] Subaru
    Only one finger left now.
[17:48] Subaru
    Once we get rid of that one...
[17:55] Subaru
    Damn... We have to hurry...
[17:58] Guy
    Ah!
[18:01] Guy
    Ah!
[18:04] Guy
    Ah! My brain trembles!
[18:09] Subaru
    Sloth!
[18:16] Emilia
    That's enough, villain.
[18:31] Subaru
    Emilia...
[18:33] Emilia
    Stand down, villain.
[18:35] Emilia
    I won't allow you to do such wicked things!
[18:38] Guy
    A-Ah... Ah! How grand!
[18:43] Guy
    What a grand day! What a lucky day!
[18:46] Guy
    What a grand destiny!
[18:48] Subaru
    Emilia!
[18:49] Felix
    Wait!
[18:50] Subaru
    I... I can't wait around now!
[18:52] Subaru
    You want to make Emilia fight him?!
[18:54] Felix
    Calm down.
[18:55] ---
    Have a little faith in her.
[18:58] Felix
    The people you want to protect
[19:01] Felix
    are not just those behind you.
[19:09] Guy
    Oh, my witch!
[19:12] Guy
    My witch! My love's guide!
[19:17] Puck
    I don't blame you for being charmed
    by my beloved daughter,
[19:20] Puck
    but I won't allow any
    unwanted pests around her!
[19:30] Guy
    Naïve!
[19:31] Guy
    Naïve! Naïve! Naïve! Naïve!
    Naïve, naïve, naïve, naïve, naïve, naïve!
[19:39] Guy
    This is love's true ending...
[19:41] Guy
    The fruit of my love.
[19:43] Guy
    Proof that the witch has returned my love!
[19:47] Puck
    That proof doesn't exist.
[19:49] Puck
    Your crush is purely one-sided.
[19:55] Guy
    Yes!
[20:00] Guy
    Ah, this is true... true diligence.
[20:08] Emilia
    Thank you for being defeated.
[20:29] Felix
    See? Didn't I tell you?
[20:33] Julius
    We've now eliminated all the fingers.
[20:36] Julius
    Victory is ours.
[20:41] Subaru
    It's finally over...
[20:50] Felix
    Go see her.
[20:52] Subaru
    R-Right...
[21:05] Felix
    Subaru-kyun?
[21:13] Subaru
    I have to get away.
[21:15] Subaru
    From Emilia... From everyone...
[21:20] Felix
    Subaru-kyun, where are you going?
[21:21] Subaru
    Stay away!
[21:23] Subaru
    I'm...
[21:24] Julius
    Subaru...
[21:26] Subaru
    Julius, stay away from—
[21:30] Subaru
    You're too late.
[21:34] Julius
    The moment Ia was flung from his
    body, I had a bad feeling...
[21:38] Felix
    What do you mean?
[21:39] Julius
    That
[21:41] Julius
    isn't Subaru.
[21:43] Subaru
    That's right.
[21:44] ---
    I am a Sin Archbishop of the Witch's
    Cult, representing Sloth...
[21:49] Subaru
    Betelgeuse Romanée-Conti!
[21:56] Subaru
    Fantastic!
[21:58] Subaru
    What a fantastic body this is!
[22:00] Subaru
    It's been decades since I had
    a body that fit me so well!
[22:04] Julius
    You madman!
[22:05] Julius
    Get out of that body right now!
[22:07] Subaru
    Madman?
[22:09] Subaru
    That's right. I am driven mad with love.
[22:14] Subaru
    Generous love, respectful love, pure love,
[22:16] ---
    tender love, familial love,
    erotic love, friendly love!
[22:19] Subaru
    Love, love, love... Love! Love! Love! Love!
[22:22] Subaru
    Love!
[22:27] Julius
    Subaru! Wake up!
[22:29] Subaru
    It's no use.
[22:31] Subaru
    This body is already under
    my subconscious control.
[22:36] Julius
    Realize what you're about to do, Subaru...
[22:39] Julius
    Remember what you returned here to do!
[22:43] Subaru
    What?
[22:44] Subaru
    Don't "what" me... You moron!
[22:49] Subaru
    I am Betelgeuse Romanée-Conti...
[22:54] Subaru
    This body has already become my finger.
[22:56] Subaru
    Shut up! I'm Natsuki Subaru!
[23:01] Subaru
    Kill me, Julius.
[23:03] Subaru
    Use your sword...
[23:04] Julius
    What are you saying, Subaru?
[23:06] Subaru
    If you don't stop me now, we can't win.
[23:11] Subaru
    Before that happens...
[23:13] Julius
    No, Subaru! I cannot do that!
[23:15] Julius
    You told me, "It can wait."
[23:17] Julius
    Wasn't there something
    you meant to tell me?
[23:20] Subaru
    Sorry... It looks like
    I won't get the chance.
[23:24] Subaru
    Felis!
[23:28] Subaru
    Please.
[23:35] Felix
    You can resent me for this, Subaru-kun.
[23:38] Felix
    I will, too.
[23:48] Julius
    Felis!
[23:48] Felix
    No one else can do it, can they?
[23:51] Felix
    This is what Subaru-kyun wants!
[23:55] Julius
    But still...
[23:56] Felix
    You think I did that
    because I wanted to?
[23:58] Felix
    To use my power for Crusch-sama,
[24:00] ---
    the power I swore to our leader, for this?!
[24:02] Subaru
    Ah, it can't be, it can't be...
[24:06] Subaru
    Just when I'd found such a perfect vessel...
[24:09] Julius
    My lack of virtue was what forced this
    undesirable decision on you and Felis.
[24:11] Subaru
    Just when the Ordeal's completion
    was at hand...
[24:15] Julius
    One day, I'm sure I will be punished.
[24:19] Subaru
    I will never die...
