[00:03] Subaru
    First off, there's something
    I'd like to say.
[00:09] Subaru
    You look pretty good in that uniform.
SIGN    If it's
SIGN    to save you
SIGN    I don't care
SIGN    how many times
SIGN    I die
[01:46] Echidna
    Why, thank you!
[01:47] Echidna
    Hearing you say that tells me that recreating
    it from your memories was worthwhile.
[01:53] Subaru
    So what is this place?
[01:55] Echidna
    As one who is qualified,
    you entered the graveyard.
[01:58] Echidna
    Thus the trial began.
[02:00] Echidna
    That's all there is to it.
[02:01] Echidna
    Didn't you hear me say, "First,
    you need to face your own past"?
[02:05] Subaru
    I'm gradually starting to remember.
[02:08] Subaru
    What did you do to me?
[02:10] Subaru
    I had completely forgotten about you.
[02:13] Echidna
    It was quicker to meddle with your memories
[02:15] Echidna
    than it would've been to trust
    that you could keep a secret.
[02:18] Subaru
    And? Did I pass the trial?
[02:23] Echidna
    Having seen every moment of it,
[02:26] Echidna
    I think the result you
    achieved was more than suitable.
[02:28] Subaru
    Every moment? Wait, you—
[02:31] Echidna
    "I'm so sorry!"
[02:34] Echidna
    When you said that, even I teared up a bit.
[02:37] Subaru
    Shut up! Don't tell anyone
    about that! It's too embarrassing!
[02:40] Subaru
    Anyway, so this world is actually...
[02:43] Echidna
    Yes, that's right.
[02:45] Echidna
    It's a fabricated world
[02:47] Echidna
    that I recreated with utmost
    faithfulness to your memories.
[02:50] Echidna
    Everything, including your parents. Understand?
[02:55] Subaru
    You fabricated all that? Really?
[02:57] Subaru
    But some stuff was mentioned
    that even I didn't know.
[02:59] Echidna
    Are you sure you didn't know?
[03:03] Echidna
    Did you never once entertain
    the thought of your father
[03:06] Echidna
    being different in any way
    from what you'd pictured?
[03:11] Echidna
    Did you really think you could
    hide the parts of your heart
[03:14] Echidna
    that you thought no one knew about?
[03:17] Echidna
    The desire to have them know,
    so you'd feel less burdened...
[03:19] Echidna
    The selfish wish that they'd still
    love you, even if they knew...
[03:23] Echidna
    Can you state with certainty that
    you did not seek any of that
[03:27] Echidna
    from your imaginary parents?
[03:29] Echidna
    That would be far too idealistic,
    not to mention convenient.
[03:33] Echidna
    Don't you agree?
[03:37] Subaru
    Don't make fun of my parents, Echidna.
[03:41] Echidna
    What?
[03:42] Subaru
    I gave all of my answers,
[03:44] Subaru
    and both my mom and my dad accepted them.
[03:47] Subaru
    They told me to give it
    my all, and to take care.
[03:53] Subaru
    Their voices, their smiles,
    and everything else
[03:56] Subaru
    shattered what I had imagined.
[03:58] Subaru
    My parents are too big to even
    fit in my puny imagination!
[04:03] Subaru
    Don't underestimate them!
[04:06] Subaru
    I told them everything I wanted to say.
[04:08] Subaru
    I'm not gonna let anything
    you say sidetrack me.
[04:15] Echidna
    This trial is over, in the truest sense.
[04:18] Echidna
    I look forward to seeing how
    you handle the next question.
[04:21] Subaru
    Wait, "next question"?
[04:22] Subaru
    What does that mean?
    There's more than one trial?!
[04:25] Echidna
    There are three graveyard trials in total.
[04:27] Echidna
    You must pass all of them
    to set the Sanctuary free.
[04:30] Echidna
    I'm so glad I finally got to tell you this!
[04:34] Echidna
    Seeing you so surprised makes my heart leap.
[04:38] Echidna
    It's already starting to disappear.
[04:41] Echidna
    If you go outside,
[04:42] ---
    you should find yourself back in the graveyard.
[04:45] Subaru
    Hey, Echidna...
[04:47] Echidna
    What is it? You want me to let you hit me?
[04:50] Echidna
    You do have that right, it's true.
[04:53] Echidna
    But I'm a girl. My face is—
[04:55] Subaru
    Thanks.
[04:58] Subaru
    Even if they weren't real...
[05:01] Subaru
    Even if I didn't get to say
    it to my real parents...
[05:04] Subaru
    It's thanks to you that I got
    to say what I wanted to say.
[05:07] Subaru
    So...
[05:09] Subaru
    Thanks.
[05:12] Echidna
    You are a very intriguing human.
[05:14] ---
    I just can't comprehend you.
[05:16] Echidna
    It actually frightens me.
[05:18] Subaru
    It's an honor to know I can frighten a witch.
[05:27] Subaru
    Oh, yeah.
[05:28] Subaru
    It sounded like you really want
    me to go through the next trial,
[05:33] Subaru
    but I can't grant that wish for you.
[05:36] Echidna
    Meaning?
[05:38] Subaru
    I'm not the one who'll pass the
    trials and set the Sanctuary free.
[05:43] Subaru
    Someone else is gonna grant that wish for you.
[05:48] Echidna
    Is that so? I wonder...
[06:01] Subaru
    Where...
[06:03] Subaru
    Oh, right. I went through the trial.
[06:10] Subaru
    Emilia!
[06:18] Subaru
    Emilia?! Hey, hang in there!
[06:21] Subaru
    Emilia! Emilia!
[06:24] Emilia
    Subaru?
[06:26] Emilia
    Right... I was undergoing
    the trial... and...
[06:37] Subaru
    Emilia?
[06:39] Emilia
    I-I'm... It wasn't me!
[06:42] Subaru
    Huh?
[06:43] Emilia
    It wasn't! And yet...
[06:46] Emilia
    I keep telling you it wasn't me, and yet...
[06:48] Subaru
    Hey, calm down!
[06:50] Subaru
    Look at me, Emilia!
[06:52] Emilia
    No! Don't look at me like that!
[06:54] Emilia
    No! No!
[06:56] Emilia
    It wasn't me!
[06:56] Subaru
    It's okay! Come on, it's okay!
[06:58] Emilia
    ...me all alone...
[06:58] Subaru
    I'm with you! I'm here!
[07:00] Subaru
    I won't leave you alone!
[07:02] Subaru
    It's okay!
[07:04] Emilia
    Father...
[07:06] Emilia
    Help me!
[07:08] Emilia
    Puck...
[07:09] Emilia
    Puck!
[07:15] Ram
    She's finally calmed down,
    and is resting now.
[07:19] Ram
    The aroma hypnosis will prevent any nightmares.
[07:23] Subaru
    Sorry to put you through the trouble.
[07:25] Ram
    I didn't do it for you.
[07:27] Ram
    Still, the Sanctuary is even
    farther from being set free now.
[07:31] Otto
    Um, may I say something?
[07:34] Subaru
    What's up, Otto?
[07:35] Otto
    It might be possible to get
    everyone outside the barrier
[07:38] Otto
    without doing the trial and
    freeing the Sanctuary.
[07:41] Garfiel
    Huh? What're you talkin' about?
[07:42] Garfiel
    There's no way in hell.
[07:44] Otto
    Just hear me out.
[07:46] Otto
    I know that anyone of mixed blood who
    touches the barrier loses consciousness.
[07:50] Otto
    I saw it with my own eyes.
[07:52] Otto
    So...
[07:55] Otto
    Why don't those of us
[07:57] Otto
    who aren't affected by the barrier
    carry the others through it
[08:00] Otto
    while they're unconscious?
[08:03] Subaru
    I get it! That way, we could get everyone—
[08:06] Ryuzu
    An amusing idea, but one you
    would be better off not trying.
[08:10] Ryuzu
    I would rather not become
    an empty shell of a soul.
[08:20] Subaru
    You're that girl from—
[08:22] Subaru
    Ow, ow, ow!
[08:23] Ram
    Barusu, here's your tea.
[08:24] Subaru
    Tea, my ass! That's hot!
    You're gonna burn my cheek off!
[08:27] Subaru
    I didn't know what was going on!
[08:28] Ram
    So dramatic. What a pathetic
    excuse for a man.
[08:32] Ram
    Avoid making any unnecessary comments.
[08:35] Garfiel
    Ram, get me some tea, too.
[08:37] Ram
    It's coarse tea.
[08:39] Garfiel
    Don't you usually talk more humble-like?
[08:41] Ram
    I just brewed some leaves I picked up.
[08:43] Ram
    Show your gratitude to me for making it
     by drinking every last drop.
[08:48] Ryuzu
    I heard you had brought in more
    people from outside, Young Gar.
[08:53] Ryuzu
    What a noisy boy he is.
[08:55] Otto
    Um... And you are...
[08:58] Ryuzu
    I am Ryuzu Bilma.
[09:00] Ryuzu
    It is my duty, you might say,
    to represent this community,
[09:04] Ryuzu
    though I am old and frail, as you can see.
[09:07] Subaru
    As we can see?
[09:09] ---
    So you're what they call a loli hag?
[09:11] Subaru
    I figured I'd meet one eventually,
[09:12] ---
    but you really fit the stereotype.
[09:14] Ryuzu
    How dare you call me an old woman
     when we've only just met.
[09:17] Ryuzu
    Well, no matter.
[09:19] Ryuzu
    And you are Barusu... which makes you Young Su.
[09:23] Subaru
    Young Su?
[09:24] Otto
    So, Ryuzu-san, what makes
    you say my idea won't work?
[09:29] Otto
    Something about an "empty shell of a soul"?
[09:31] Ryuzu
    Have you not heard?
[09:33] Ryuzu
    When one of mixed blood touches the barrier,
[09:35] ---
    it takes away their consciousness.
[09:36] Ryuzu
    More specifically, it repels their soul.
[09:40] Otto
    Repels their soul? Uh...
[09:43] Subaru
    So when a mixed-blood tries to force
    their way through the barrier,
[09:47] Subaru
    their soul is separated from their body,
[09:49] Subaru
    and only their soul remains inside
    the barrier, leaving an empty shell, right?
[09:56] Ryuzu
    Ah, you do catch on quickly.
[09:59] Ryuzu
    That is the gist of it, yes.
[10:01] Ryuzu
    When a body without a soul exits the barrier,
[10:05] Ryuzu
    it is, in other words, dead.
[10:08] Otto
    Dead?
[10:11] Garfiel
    This tea's gross!
[10:13] Garfiel
    It tastes like grass!
[10:15] Subaru
    Did you actually make it with grass?
[10:18] Subaru
    Still, if the qualification to undergo
    the trial is having mixed blood,
[10:23] Subaru
    doesn't that mean you or Garfiel
    could do it if you wanted to?
[10:27] Ryuzu
    If we are speaking only of making the attempt,
    it stands to reason that we could.
[10:30] Ryuzu
    But we cannot free the Sanctuary.
[10:34] Ryuzu
    That is the contract that
    has been handed down
[10:36] Ryuzu
    among us residents of the
    Sanctuary for generations.
[10:48] Emilia
    Subaru?
[10:50] Subaru
    Morning, Emilia-tan.
[10:52] ---
    Did you sleep well?
[10:53] Emilia
    Morning...
[10:55] Emilia
    Did you stay with me all night?
[10:57] Subaru
    I wouldn't have been able to
    sleep in my room, anyway.
[11:00] Subaru
    Otto talks in his sleep, you know.
[11:04] Emilia
    I'm sorry about yesterday.
[11:06] Emilia
    I really lost my composure in the graveyard.
[11:10] Subaru
    Oh, don't worry about it.
[11:12] Subaru
    More importantly...
[11:20] Emilia
    I-It's not like that!
[11:22] Emilia
    What? That's funny... Why did I...
[11:25] Subaru
    Are you finally getting assertive enough
    to reach out for me subconsciously?!
[11:28] Emilia
    No, no, it's not like that at all!
[11:30] Emilia
    I think I just wasn't thinking...
[11:31] Subaru
    You denied that so fast! And you
    "weren't thinking"? Really?!
[11:34] Emilia
    I mean...
[11:37] Subaru
    As long as you can smile, it's all right.
[11:39] Subaru
    You can undergo the trial again tonight.
[11:45] Emilia
    Again... tonight...
[11:52] Ram
    I need to tell you something, Barusu.
[11:55] Ram
    Not all of the residents are in favor
    of setting the Sanctuary free.
[12:00] Subaru
    What do you mean?
[12:02] Ram
    Only the heavy-handed people like Garf,
    led by Ryuzu-sama, are pushing for its freedom.
[12:09] Ram
    There is a conservative faction that
    doesn't want the Sanctuary to be freed.
[12:13] Subaru
    There are people who don't want it set free?
[12:16] Ram
    The conservatives believe that having
    minimal interaction with outsiders is ideal.
[12:21] Ram
    In their opinion, destroying that
    will cause nothing but trouble.
[12:26] Subaru
    I get Garfiel, but they
    don't even trust Ryuzu-san?
[12:30] Ram
    Or Frederica, either.
[12:37] Ram
    It was Frederica who gave
    Emilia-sama the glowing stone.
[12:40] Subaru
    So you think Frederica started this whole thing?
[12:44] Ram
    Circumstantial evidence suggests that
    Frederica has some plan in mind.
[12:50] Ram
    As it is, Emilia-sama escaped
    disaster by a hair's breadth,
[12:54] Ram
    thanks to your noble...
[12:56] ---
    your relatively noble sacrifice.
[12:58] Subaru
    You didn't have to amend that.
[12:59] Subaru
    I mean, I didn't sacrifice myself,
    so you can amend that, but...
[13:03] Ram
    Just be careful, Barusu.
[13:05] Ram
    To the ones who oppose
    setting the Sanctuary free,
[13:08] Ram
    the best way to assure they get what
    they want is to harm Emilia-sama.
[13:13] Ram
    You never know who might be your enemy.
[13:15] Ram
    Be alert at all times.
[13:35] Garfiel
    C'mon, Ram, join us.
[13:38] Garfiel
    The hell? You're no fun.
[13:40] Subaru
    Do you like Ram or something?
[13:43] Garfiel
    Well, she's hot, ain't she?
[13:45] Garfiel
    Nothin' unusual about a guy bein'
    attracted to a strong, capable girl.
[13:50] Garfiel
    I hope it works out better this time.
[13:53] Garfiel
    We don't want a short nap for a morolok to
    be a whole day's sleep for the rest of us.
[13:58] Subaru
    Is there something you want to do
    after getting out of the barrier?
[14:02] Garfiel
    Well, that came outta nowhere.
[14:05] Garfiel
    What do I wanna do once I'm outside?
[14:07] Garfiel
    A guy who can come and go as he pleases
[14:09] ---
    wouldn't have a clue how the old hag and I feel.
[14:13] Subaru
    What about Frederica?
[14:16] Garfiel
    Huh?
[14:17] Subaru
    What does Frederica think
    about the Sanctuary?
[14:20] Garfiel
    Didn't she tell you a damn thing?
[14:23] Subaru
    She only said she couldn't
    explain it to me in detail.
[14:26] Subaru
    All she told me about you was your name,
[14:29] ---
    because of some oath.
[14:31] Garfiel
    Oath, my ass.
[14:33] Garfiel
    Hah! Talk about a handy excuse.
[14:35] Garfiel
    Sounds just like her damn master.
[14:37] Subaru
    Are you and Frederica not
    even that close at all?
[14:40] Garfiel
    If you're askin' whether we get along or not,
[14:43] Garfiel
    nope, we don't.
[14:44] Garfiel
    Anyway, when you were in the
    graveyard yesterday, didn't you—
[14:54] Subaru
    Emilia!
[14:58] Emilia
    I'm sorry! I... I...
[15:01] Emilia
    ...again...
[15:04] Roswaal
    I see. That is unfortunate.
[15:07] Roswaal
    Still, just learning that you cannot lose
    your right to undergo the trial is something.
[15:13] Subaru
    Well? What did you call me in here
    without Emilia to talk about?
[15:17] Roswaal
    Just a bit of conspiracy.
[15:20] Roswaal
    I am not so big-hearted that I would
    invite one who cannot be trusted.
[15:26] Subaru
    Can't be trusted? Are you
    talking about Emilia?
[15:29] Subaru
    What the heck are you—
[15:30] Roswaal
    Be calm, Subaru-kun.
[15:33] Roswaal
    I would like you to continue to help and
    support Emilia-sama as you always have.
[15:37] Subaru
    You don't have to ask me to do that.
[15:40] Subaru
    But what are you going to do?
[15:42] Roswaal
    The same, naturally.
[15:44] Roswaal
    I will give my utmost to help
    Emilia-sama win the royal selection.
[15:48] Roswaal
    What I mean to say is that
    we are partners in crime.
[15:51] Subaru
    Shouldn't you just say we're partners?
[15:53] Subaru
    You keep contradicting yourself.
[15:56] Roswaal
    Oh? And what might that—
[15:59] Subaru
    Quit playing dumb!
[16:00] Subaru
    Everyone knew the Witch's Cult
    would start causing trouble
[16:03] Subaru
    when Emilia's participation
    was announced to the public!
[16:06] Subaru
    And what the hell were you doing?!
[16:08] Subaru
    You hid information about the
    Witch's Cult from Emilia, didn't you?!
[16:11] Subaru
    Emilia didn't know anything!
[16:13] Subaru
    If she had, everything would've been different!
[16:16] Subaru
    And if it had...
[16:19] Subaru
    that wouldn't have...
[16:22] Subaru
    You should've been there.
[16:25] Subaru
    If you had been there,
    that wouldn't have happened.
[16:28] Subaru
    If you had been protecting everyone...
[16:30] Roswaal
    But you fulfilled my role in my absence.
[16:35] Roswaal
    As a knight, your performance
    was commendable.
[16:37] Subaru
    Who gives a—
[16:39] Ram
    Calm down, Barusu.
[16:41] Subaru
    Ram, you're okay with all this?!
[16:43] Subaru
    You were left behind at the
    mansion like a sacrificial pawn!
[16:47] Ram
    I condone everything that Roswaal-sama did.
[16:50] Ram
    No matter how I was treated, even if
    I was cast aside, that wouldn't change.
[16:56] Subaru
    Then you're fine with Rem being sacrificed
    for a stupid reason like that?!
[17:05] Ram
    I don't know who you're talking about,
[17:08] Ram
    but the name of a stranger
    means nothing to me.
[17:14] Roswaal
    Why did I conceal information that
    I should have disclosed to Emilia-sama?
[17:19] Roswaal
    Why was I not present at the mansion
[17:23] ---
    when the Witch's Cult was preparing to attack?
[17:26] Roswaal
    There is but one answer to all these questions.
[17:28] Roswaal
    To ensure that I would not have to
    confront the Witch's Cult myself,
[17:33] Roswaal
    I personally...
[17:36] Roswaal
    led these events to happen.
[17:40] Roswaal
    After all, if I had solved
    the problem myself,
[17:43] Roswaal
    there would be no way for Emilia-sama,
    nor you, to claim any credit.
[17:49] Roswaal
    It had a tremendous effect, did it not?
[17:52] Roswaal
    The attitudes of the villagers
    of Arlam toward Emilia-sama
[17:54] Roswaal
    are drastically different than they
    were before the Witch's Cult attacked.
[17:59] Roswaal
    They now see her not as an incomprehensible
    relative of the witch,
[18:01] Roswaal
    but as one who contributed
     to saving their lives.
[18:05] Subaru
    Do you... have any idea what you're saying?!
[18:10] Subaru
    That's only how it looks in hindsight!
[18:12] Subaru
    Do you know how many people died
    because you weren't there,
[18:15] ---
    and didn't tell anyone anything?!
[18:16] Roswaal
    I do express my condolences for all
    those on our side who were lost.
[18:20] Roswaal
    Or would you rather hear me apologize?
[18:23] Subaru
    No! No! No! No! That's not it!
[18:25] Subaru
    That's not what I want!
[18:27] Subaru
    If I was still useless trash
    that couldn't do anything,
[18:29] Subaru
    what would you have done?!
[18:31] Subaru
    If none of the villagers,
    or Emilia, could've been saved—
[18:34] Roswaal
    I had faith...
[18:36] Roswaal
    in you.
[18:38] Roswaal
    I trusted that you would do anything
    in your power for Emilia-sama,
[18:41] Roswaal
    give your best effort in establishing
    an alliance with Crusch-sama,
[18:44] Roswaal
    put your life on the line to
    stop the Witch Cult's attack,
[18:47] Roswaal
    and that you would complete all
    of these tasks with excellence.
[18:49] Subaru
    What the hell do you know about me?!
[18:52] Subaru
    When I last saw you, I was absolute trash!
[18:55] Subaru
    I only got a little less useless because
    of all that happened after that!
[18:59] Subaru
    And no one else even has any
    idea what happened after that!
[19:02] Subaru
    What made you believe in me?!
[19:03] Roswaal
    It appears tonight's conversation
    has reached its end.
[19:07] Roswaal
    By the way, if you tell Emilia-sama
    what we have discussed...
[19:11] Subaru
    As if I could ever tell her!
[19:13] Roswaal
    Even overcome by such outrage,
[19:16] Roswaal
    deep down, you understand that
    all is as it should be.
[19:19] Roswaal
    That for the sake of her chances
    in the royal selection,
[19:21] Roswaal
    it would not do to create friction between
    her and myself or the villagers.
[19:27] Roswaal
    I knew you would make a fitting
    partner in crime for me.
[19:34] Emilia
    I'm sorry. I failed again.
[19:37] Subaru
    You don't have to beat yourself up so much.
[19:40] Subaru
    It looks like you can't lose your
    right to undergo the trial,
[19:42] Subaru
    so it all just depends on
    your own feelings now.
[19:46] Emilia
    My own feelings...
[19:49] Subaru
    I can tell this has been hard on you.
[19:51] Subaru
    But there's no point in freeing the
    Sanctuary if you're not the one to do it...
[19:56] Subaru
    I think.
[19:58] Subaru
    Think you can try again...
    to make that happen?
[20:07] Emilia
    Subaru, you jerk.
[20:08] Subaru
    Wait, why the sudden abuse?!
[20:10] Emilia
    When you ask with such gentle eyes and words,
[20:13] Emilia
    how could I say I can't do it?
[20:16] Emilia
    I'm not very smart,
[20:19] Emilia
    but I do know that this is my duty.
[20:22] Emilia
    Don't spoil me. Just believe in me.
[20:25] Emilia
    I mean, I know I'm probably not
    very convincing right now—
[20:29] subaru
    That's not true! I'll be waiting,
     and believing in you!
[20:34] Emilia
    Good. Thank you.
[20:37] Emilia
    But I know I'll be causing trouble
    for the people of Arlam.
[20:41] Emilia
    That's the one thing I regret.
[20:43] Subaru
    Oh, about that...
[20:45] Subaru
    Would you mind leaving all that to me?
[20:48] Emilia
    All right. I trust you.
[20:52] Emilia
    I wouldn't start doubting
    you now, after all this.
[20:55] Emilia
    I trust you.
[20:59] Otto
    Anyway, I'm impressed you were
    able to convince Garfiel.
[21:03] Subaru
    It took two whole days, though.
[21:06] Subaru
    He understands that since Emilia
     is already inside the barrier,
[21:08] Subaru
    setting the people of Arlam Village
    free won't cause any problems.
[21:13] Otto
    I was sure he was the type that would
    never listen to what we had to say.
[21:19] Subaru
    For a trader, you're a pretty
    lousy judge of character.
[21:27] Ram
    That's quite an old-fashioned
    good luck charm.
[21:29] Subaru
    Petra gave it to me before we left.
[21:32] Subaru
    Right after Frederica hired her as a new maid.
[21:35] Ram
    Frederica would never do anything
    mean to a new recruit.
[21:39] Ram
    She would never be that fiendish.
[21:41] Ram
    You don't need to worry about the girl.
[21:44] Subaru
    Do you have faith in Frederica or not?
[21:47] Subaru
    I can't tell.
[21:48] Ram
    I don't know what she's planning,
[21:50] Ram
    but Frederica is Frederica.
    I have no doubt about that.
[21:54] Ram
    Also, I have a message from Roswaal-sama.
[21:59] Ram
    If you're worried about
    having to face Frederica,
[22:02] Ram
    turn to Beatrice-sama.
[22:04] Ram
    And tell her this:
[22:06] Ram
    "Roswaal said to ask the question."
[22:09] Subaru
    Question?
[22:10] Ram
    I don't know the details.
[22:12] Ram
    But when Beatrice-sama hears those words,
[22:15] ---
    everything will change.
[22:17] Ram
    That's what Roswaal-sama said.
[22:21] Emilia
    Subaru!
[22:22] Subaru
    Hey.
[22:24] Emilia
    Um... was I interrupting
    your conversation with Ram?
[22:27] Subaru
    Nah, no problem.
[22:29] Subaru
    We weren't talking about anything important.
[22:32] Subaru
    Besides, you take priority!
[22:34] Emilia
    That makes me really happy,
[22:36] Emilia
    but you should give priority
    to the villagers right now.
[22:39] Subaru
    Sure.
[22:43] Emilia
    May the blessing of the spirits be with you.
[22:50] Subaru
    Thanks for volunteering to take
    us as far as the barrier.
[22:54] Garfiel
    It's fine, man.
[22:57] Garfiel
    Anyway, small fry...
[22:59] Garfiel
    You went through a trial at
    the graveyard, didn't you?
[23:04] Garfiel
    You don't have to hide it.
[23:06] Garfiel
    I can tell.
[23:08] Subaru
    And what's the point in asking me this?
[23:11] Garfiel
    It's simple.
[23:12] Garfiel
    You can go through the trial
    in Emilia-sama's place.
[23:16] Subaru
    I can't! The precedent would—
[23:18] Garfiel
    Is it really even necessary
    to overcome your past?
[23:24] Garfiel
    I watched Emilia-sama go through the trial.
[23:27] Garfiel
    I saw how it broke her.
[23:29] Garfiel
    And every time, she comes
    back totally freaked out.
[23:32] Garfiel
    I can't stand to watch it.
[23:34] Subaru
    I have faith that Emilia can
    make it through the trial.
[23:38] Subaru
    So I—
[23:39] Garfiel
    You can expect what you want from her.
[23:41] Garfiel
    But does she really want to overcome her past?
[23:45] Garfiel
    When she cries about how scared she is,
     ain't that how she really feels?
[23:49] Subaru
    How Emilia... really feels?
[23:55] Subaru
    Does Emilia actually...
[23:58] Garfiel
    Barrier's close now.
[24:00] Garfiel
    This is as far as I can take ya.
[24:04] Garfiel
    Take this.
[24:07] Subaru
    This is...
[24:09] Garfiel
    I'm not gonna tell you my reasons.
[24:12] Garfiel
    But if you don't come back,
[24:14] ---
    we're gonna be the ones suffering.
[24:16] Garfiel
    Show it to Frederica if push comes to shove.
[24:33] Subaru
    It's okay.
[24:41] Subaru
    No one's here?
[24:54] Subaru
    What's going on?
[25:02] Subaru
    Rem... What about Rem?
[25:15] Subaru
    Rem!
[25:50] Elsa
    You promised, didn't you?
[25:53] Elsa
    That you'd take good care of
    your bowels until we met again.
