[00:20] Subaru
    My left arm!
[00:23] Subaru
    I still have it?
[00:25] Subaru
    I went back again...
[00:27] Subaru
    No, maybe I should say I made it back...
[00:33] Subaru
    Oh, sorry. Good morning.
[00:38] Subaru
    Right, I guess you don't remember me...
[00:44] Subaru
    Sorry for the trouble I've caused!
[00:46] Subaru
    Natsuki Subaru will now start over!
[00:50] Subaru
    By the way, what day and time is it?
[02:24] Subaru
    It's my third first day in the Roswaal mansion.
[02:28] Subaru
    That chill I felt...
[02:30] Subaru
    Does that mean I died in my sleep the
    first time, due to physical weakness?
[02:34] Subaru
    But the second time,
[02:36] Subaru
    there was an attacker.
[02:39] Subaru
    So if I was killed,
[02:41] Subaru
    does that mean the others in
    the mansion are targets, too?
[02:44] Subaru
    Because we're involved in Emilia's royal
    selection, like at the loot house?
[02:49] Subaru
    But even if I know that,
[02:50] ---
    I have no proof to explain it
    or any way to avoid it.
[02:55] Subaru
    Worse yet, I didn't see the
    attacker's face, or their prey.
[02:58] Subaru
    My death was totally in vain.
[03:00] Beatrice
    You're irritating me to death.
[03:02] ---
    Either stop it or be blown away.
[03:05] Subaru
    Oh, sorry...
[03:07] Subaru
    But somehow, walking in circles also
    turns the gears in my head.
[03:11] Subaru
    Cut me some slack, huh?
[03:12] ---
    We're tight, aren't we?
[03:14] Beatrice
    Exactly what sort of relationship do
    you think we have, I suppose?
[03:17] Beatrice
    We've only met twice.
[03:22] Subaru
    Well, I won't make trouble for you.
[03:25] Subaru
    Serve some tea or something, and let me relax.
[03:27] Beatrice
    As if I'll serve you anything, I suppose.
[03:30] Beatrice
    Ugh, you're irritating me!
[03:32] Subaru
    What's that book you're reading?
[03:35] Beatrice
    It explains how to get rid of bugs that
    have gotten into my room, I suppose.
[03:38] Subaru
    You've got bugs in the library? That sucks.
[03:42] Subaru
    What kind of bugs?
[03:44] Beatrice
    It's time for you to leave!
[03:46] Beatrice
    Your hands have stopped shaking,
[03:48] Beatrice
    so you can mask your fear now, I suppose.
[03:52] Subaru
    You could tell?
[03:53] Beatrice
    You were trying to hide it, I suppose.
[03:55] Beatrice
    It's quite vexing to be treated
    as a mere convenience.
[03:58] Subaru
    You're not nice at all...
[04:01] Subaru
    Thanks for the help, though.
[04:02] ---
    I'll be counting on you again.
[04:04] Beatrice
    I don't want to be counted on, I suppose.
[04:06] Beatrice
    So don't come in here again!
[04:09] Beatrice
    Shoo, shoo.
[04:10] Subaru
    "Shoo, shoo"?
[04:13] Subaru
    Wait! When you said "bugs," you meant me?
[04:16] Beatrice
    Just get out of here this instant!
[04:25] Subaru
    I-If not for the flower bed, that would
    have been instant death...
[04:29] Emilia
    Um...
[04:32] Emilia
    Can I ask if you're all right?
[04:35] Subaru
    Emilia-tan, your kindness is the
    one thing that can heal me.
[04:39] Emilia
    You know, Rem just spread manure
    in that flower bed yesterday.
[04:44] Subaru
    Argh!
[04:45] Subaru
    Three-second rule! That didn't count...
    That didn't count, right?
[04:49] Emilia
    In fact, they say this kind
    of thing is actually lucky.
[04:55] Subaru
    Emilia-tan is already shifting
    into consolation mode...
[05:01] Emilia
    Puck, wake up.
[05:08] Puck
    Morning, Lia...
[05:10] Emilia
    Morning, Puck.
[05:12] Emilia
    Sorry to ask after you just woke up,
    but could you wash Subaru off?
[05:17] Puck
    Subaru?
[05:18] Puck
    Okay, I'll wash you off.
[05:21] Puck
    Here!
[05:28] Puck
    There, all clean.
[05:30] Puck
    Isn't that nice?
[05:36] Subaru
    I thought I was a goner...
[05:38] Subaru
    Wasn't there another way to do that?
[05:40] Subaru
    You enjoyed that, didn't you?
[05:43] Puck
    That isn't true at all... Hmph.
[05:47] Puck
    Punch-backs!
[05:50] Subaru
    Now, you've done it!
[05:52] Subaru
    Like that? It's my lethal move,
    Make the Cat Cry Ha Ha...
[05:55] Puck
    Cut it out!
[05:57] Puck
    Tail punch!
[05:58] Subaru
    You—
[05:59] Puck
    And I'll finish you with my paw-pad grind!
[06:02] Puck
    Grind, grind, grind, grind...
[06:08] Emilia
    Oh, gosh... Sorry, I can't...
[06:09] Emilia
    What are you two doing?
[06:12] Emilia
    Oh, my stomach... I'm dying...
[06:18] Subaru
    Well, now that I've rebounded from
    my initial bad impression...
[06:21] Subaru
    Thanks for your assistance, Father!
[06:23] Subaru
    Who are you calling "Father"?
[06:25] Subaru
    I won't give you my daughter that easily.
[06:27] Emilia
    Please stop. You're both too funny...
[06:31] Puck
    Nothing beats your smile, Lia.
[06:33] Puck
    You agree, too. Right, Subaru?
[06:35] Subaru
    I totally do.
[06:38] Subaru
    To me, Emilia-tan's smile is the first
    shining star in the night sky!
[06:42] Emilia
    Not you, too, Subaru.
[06:45] Emilia
    Also, what does "tan" mean?
    Where'd it come from?
[06:49] Subaru
    It's what they call a pet name.
[06:52] Subaru
    Just like when Puck calls you "Lia."
[06:55] Subaru
    It's an expression of affection
    that shows people's closeness.
[06:59] Emilia
    I don't remember getting so close to you...
[07:04] Subaru
    That somewhat hurts, but I won't lose heart!
[07:08] Subaru
    Think of it as an advance on our relationship.
[07:10] Subaru
    It means I want us to get close enough
    to call each other by pet names.
[07:14] Subaru
    Okay?
[07:20] Emilia
    All right, I'll accept that.
[07:25] Emilia
    No... Don't look at me.
[07:27] Subaru
    I expected her to cringe,
    but I got a positive response.
[07:31] Subaru
    What could this mean,
    Commentator Puck-san?
[07:33] Puck
    She doesn't have many friends,
[07:36] Puck
    so she craves things like nicknames.
[07:38] ---
    She's easy to please.
[07:39] Subaru
    My main heroine is easy to please, huh?!
[07:41] Rem
    Sister, Sister... It's only been a short time,
[07:44] Rem
    and now our guest looks like a drowned rat.
[07:46] Ram
    Rem, Rem. In just a short time,
[07:49] Ram
    our guest has turned into a dirty, old washrag.
[07:51] Subaru
    I know I'm a rat. You don't have to tell me.
[07:55] Both
    Our lord, Roswaal-sama, has returned.
[07:59] Both
    Please come inside.
[08:02] Subaru
    Here we go.
[08:03] Subaru
    My third first meeting with
    the lord of the mansion.
[08:07] Subaru
    All I know for certain is that someone
    will attack on the fourth night.
[08:13] Subaru
    It'd be ideal if I could let them know.
[08:16] Subaru
    But I can't explain where I got the information,
[08:18] Subaru
    so they might think I'm working
    with the assassin.
[08:21] Subaru
    If I just knew even the attacker's physique,
[08:24] ---
    it might be a different story.
[08:26] Subaru
    So this time, I'll use these next four days
[08:29] Subaru
    to gather information and
    learn who the attacker is.
[08:33] Subaru
    And to do that...
[08:35] Roswaal
    You may have any reward you request.
[08:37] Roswaal
    Merely state your desire!
[08:41] Subaru
    In that case,
[08:42] Subaru
    let me live here as a house guest,
[08:44] ---
    and eat and sleep all I want!
[08:54] Subaru
    But how am I supposed to gather information?
[08:58] Subaru
    I guess I'll start with some
    indirect questioning...
[09:04] Subaru
    That's where I fell.
[09:09] Subaru
    Sorry for the trouble...
[09:11] Rem
    Of course. If you'll excuse me, sir.
[09:14] Subaru
    Wait.
[09:16] Subaru
    I didn't even get a chance to talk.
[09:24] Subaru
    I don't see anything out of the ordinary...
[09:30] Roswaal
    What do you not see?
[09:32] Subaru
    Ros-chi...
[09:33] Subaru
    Don't scare me like that. It's misleading.

[09:44] Subaru
    Come in!
[09:46] Ram
    Here you go, sir.
[09:47] Subaru
    Oh, thanks. Want to drink it with me?
[09:50] Ram
    No, thank you, sir.
[09:54] Subaru
    Hey, you can be a little friendlier
    to me if you want...
[10:03] Subaru
    Well, it's my first day.
    I guess it makes sense.
[10:09] Subaru
    Yo!
[10:10] Beatrice
    Every day, you come in here
    without even knocking.
[10:12] Beatrice
    You truly have no manners whatsoever.
[10:15] Beatrice
    Leaving would be in your best interest,
    before you get blown away, I suppose.
[10:18] Subaru
    Whoa! Wait, wait...
[10:20] Subaru
    I just want to ask you something.
[10:22] Subaru
    Is there any magic that weakens and kills
    someone, as if putting them to sleep?
[10:27] Beatrice
    If I must answer, then yes, there is.
[10:31] Subaru
    There is?
[10:32] Beatrice
    But it isn't so much magic as
    it is a curse, I suppose.
[10:36] Beatrice
    There are many such things among the
    spells that shamans specialize in.
[10:41] Subaru
    Shamans?
[10:42] Beatrice
    Magicians.
[10:43] Beatrice
    However, shamans are a subclass
    of magic- and spirit-arts users,
[10:47] Beatrice
    originating in the northern nation
    of Gusteco, I suppose.
[10:50] Beatrice
    They're all quite useless, and not
    to be taken seriously.
[10:55] Beatrice
    But there is an easier method
    than a curse, I suppose.
[10:58] Subaru
    Easier?
[11:00] Beatrice
    I believe you've already experienced it.
[11:05] Subaru
    Wait, you mean...
[11:07] Subaru
    That mana drain you did against
    my will could actually kill me?
[11:12] Beatrice
    Mana is also one's very life force.
[11:15] Beatrice
    If you continually suck it out, one could
    die of weakness, I suppose.
[11:20] Subaru
    Wait... You're not the one
    who killed me, are you?
[11:24] Beatrice
    Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm busy.
[11:27] Beatrice
    I couldn't even spare the effort to kill you...
[11:32] Subaru
    Is this what you want?
[11:34] Subaru
    So, uh...
[11:36] Subaru
    Oh, yeah.
[11:37] ---
    Can anyone do that mana-sucking thing?
[11:40] Beatrice
    That's an absolutely terrible
    way to put it, I suppose.
[11:43] Beatrice
    In this mansion, only Bubby and I can.
[11:45] ---
    Even Roswaal can't.
[11:47] Subaru
    Oh... It's actually a pretty rare skill, then.
[11:50] Subaru
    Don't suck up that stuff too much.
[11:53] ---
    Especially from me.
[11:55] Subaru
    I'm really short on blood right now,
    so I'd die in a heartbeat.
[11:58] Beatrice
    Yes, all your organs were restored,
[12:01] ---
    but your blood wasn't replaced, I suppose.
[12:03] Beatrice
    Well, I have no obligation to do so, anyway.
[12:06] Subaru
    My organs?
[12:10] Subaru
    The way you said that
[12:11] ---
    makes it sound like you were the
    one who healed my wounds.
[12:16] Subaru
    Trying to take the credit from Emilia-tan
    makes you look bad!
[12:19] Beatrice
    That silly girl doesn't have the power
    to heal fatal wounds yet, I suppose.
[12:25] Subaru
    Eh?
[12:26] Beatrice
    She and Bubby stabilized you,
    and I healed your wounds.
[12:30] Subaru
    Huh?!
[12:31] Subaru
    F-For real? You're kidding, right?
[12:34] Subaru
    Of course... It's a lie.
[12:36] ---
    It was a lie! It's not nice to lie!
[12:39] ---
    No lying...
[12:41] Beatrice
    Shut up, I suppose.
[12:43] ---
    You're too averse to the truth.
[12:44] Beatrice
    Someone not worth saving should
    disappear, I suppose!
[12:51] Emilia
    Um...
[12:52] Emilia
    Once again, are you all right?
[12:56] Subaru
    So, in the end, the key words
    are "curse" and "chains."
[13:00] Subaru
    I don't know anything else.
[13:02] Subaru
    If Return by Death's conditions are the same,
[13:05] Subaru
    I died three times in the capital,
    and survived the fourth time.
[13:09] Subaru
    But that doesn't mean I intend to
    treat this as a throwaway life.
[13:13] Subaru
    That's why I asked Puck to keep
    an eye on Emilia for me.
[13:17] Puck
    Sure.
[13:19] Puck
    This is all really vague,
[13:21] Puck
    but I can tell you're asking
    out of concern for Lia.
[13:25] Subaru
    On the morning of the fourth day,
    I'll leave here and—
SIGN    Magic - died of weakness in sleep Sound of chains Roswaal's chains X Misleading!!
[13:29] Ram
    Pardon my intrusion, sir.
[13:32] Ram
    I see you really are studying, sir.
[13:34] Subaru
    That's super rude...
[13:37] ---
    I am a guest here, you know.
[13:40] Ram
    You're a freeloader calling yourself a guest.
[13:42] Ram
    That's how I perceive it, sir.
[13:45] Subaru
    Thanks.
[13:48] Subaru
    Ugh, it's still nasty.
[13:50] Ram
    You'll incur the wrath of the
    mansion's finest tea leaves.
[13:56] Subaru
    Slacking off right in front of your guest?
[13:59] Subaru
    I have no words for that nerve of yours.
[14:02] Ram
    You were the one who told me to
    be more friendly toward you.
[14:05] Ram
    I'm only responding to your demand.
[14:09] Ram
    So? How is your studying coming?
[14:11] Subaru
    Not bad...
[14:12] Subaru
    I can read simple fairy tales like these now.
[14:15] Subaru
    It's interesting how the morals slightly
    differ from those of the ones I know.
[14:19] Subaru
    It's like true cross-cultural communication!
[14:22] Subaru
    Maybe I should import a few fairy
    tales from my homeland.
[14:25] Subaru
    Like "The Red Ogre Who Cried."
[14:30] Ram
    The Red Ogre Who Cried?
[14:33] Subaru
    Want me to tell it to you?
[14:38] Subaru
    All right, your attention, please.
[14:41] Subaru
    Once upon a time, there lived
    a red ogre and a blue ogre.
[14:47] Subaru
    The two were very good friends.
[14:51] Subaru
    The red ogre wanted to be friends
    with the people of the village.
[14:56] Subaru
    But the people were too scared
    to get close to him.
[15:00] Subaru
    The blue ogre couldn't bear to watch,
[15:02] Subaru
    so he devised a plan to help his friend.
[15:05] Subaru
    "I'll make a ruckus in the village,
    so you come and stop me.
[15:10] Subaru
    Then the villagers will be sure to trust you."
[15:14] Subaru
    The plan worked, and the red
    ogre befriended the humans.
[15:18] Subaru
    But as time passed,
    something began to worry him.
[15:23] Subaru
    His friend, the blue ogre,
    no longer came to visit him.
[15:28] Subaru
    One day, the red ogre went
    to the blue ogre's house.
[15:32] Subaru
    The door was tightly shut, and a
    letter was affixed to it.
[15:38] Subaru
    The letter said...
[15:41] Subaru
    "Red Ogre-kun, please have fun
    with your human friends.
[15:46] Subaru
    If I continue to hang around you,
[15:49] Subaru
    they might think you're a bad ogre, too.
[15:53] Subaru
    So I've decided to go on a journey,
[15:56] Subaru
    but I will never forget you.
[16:00] Subaru
    Goodbye. Please take care of yourself.
[16:03] Subaru
    Your friend forever...
[16:06] Subaru
    Blue Ogre."
[16:09] Subaru
    The red ogre read the letter in
    silence, over and over again.
[16:13] Subaru
    Tears fell, as he began to cry.
[16:16] Subaru
    The end.
[16:19] Ram
    That's a sad story.
[16:21] Subaru
    Yeah, it is.
[16:23] Subaru
    But I think it's a sweet story, too.
[16:27] Ram
    I think all the characters in it are just stupid.
[16:31] Ram
    The red ogre, the blue ogre,
    and the villagers, too.
[16:34] Subaru
    That's kind of a harsh critique.
[16:38] Subaru
    I mean, I'm not denying it, but...
[16:40] Subaru
    That's why I both love and hate that story.
[16:45] Subaru
    The blue ogre's self-sacrifice
     is really appealing,
[16:48] Subaru
    but it's stupid because
    he gets nothing in return.
[16:51] Subaru
    I'm the type that wants to be
    rewarded for my effort.
[16:54] Ram
    Is that what you think of the blue ogre?
[16:58] Ram
    But it's the red ogre that I think is beyond help.
[17:01] Ram
    He dragged the blue ogre into his own desires.
[17:04] Ram
    As a result, he lost nothing.
[17:06] ---
    Only the blue ogre lost anything.
[17:08] Subaru
    Then what do you think the two
    ogres should have done?
[17:13] Ram
    If the red ogre truly wanted
    to befriend the humans,
[17:16] Ram
    he should have broken off his
    horns and gone to them.
[17:20] Ram
    He should have done that before the
    blue ogre couldn't bear to watch anymore.
[17:24] Subaru
    That's a pretty extreme opinion, too...
[17:28] Ram
    Is it?
[17:29] Ram
    Which of the two ogres would
    you rather be friends with?
[17:33] Subaru
    Which of the two?
[17:36] Ram
    The red ogre, who can only wish
    and be taken care of by others,
[17:40] Ram
    or the stupid blue ogre,
    who basks in self-sacrifice?
[17:53] Ram
    What a foolish answer.
[17:56] Ram
    If you want to befriend both,
[17:58] ---
    you must be the indecisive, adulterous type.
[18:01] Ram
    You'll regret it one day.
[18:02] Subaru
    I don't recall it being that kind of story!
[18:06] Ram
    Putting aside your homeland's fairy tales,
[18:09] Ram
    did any of these stories leave
    an impression on you?
[18:11] Subaru
    Well, the ones that interested me most
[18:14] Subaru
    were the middle one, about the dragon,
[18:17] Subaru
    and at the end, about the witch.
[18:19] Subaru
    I finally know where the name the "Dragon's
    Kingdom of Lugunica" comes from.
[18:23] Ram
    Oh?
[18:24] Subaru
    It said the royal family signed
    a covenant with a dragon,
[18:27] Subaru
    so it's more like a folk tale
    than a fairy tale, right?
[18:31] Ram
    Yes, since it's true.
[18:33] Ram
    The noble dragon still protects
    this nation from far away,
[18:38] Ram
    beyond a great waterfall.
[18:41] Ram
    It will do so until its contract with
    the royal family is fulfilled.
[18:45] Subaru
    Wait, didn't the royal family that signed
    the contract recently die out?
[18:50] Ram
    Yes, quite abruptly.
[18:53] Ram
    No one knows what the dragon wants.
[18:56] Ram
    In the nation's current situation,
    only the gods know...
[19:00] Ram
    No, only the dragon knows what
    the dragon will do, sir.
[19:06] Subaru
    Oh, by the way, about this witch story—
[19:08] Ram
    I don't want to discuss that.
[19:11] Ram
    I've stayed too long.
[19:13] Ram
    I'll come again to notify you
    when dinner is ready, sir.
[19:18] Subaru
    O-Okay.
[19:20] Ram
    That story you told me about the ogres...
[19:23] Ram
    Don't tell it to Rem.
[19:25] Ram
    I'm certain she wouldn't like it.
[19:36] Subaru
    "A scary witch, a terrifying witch.
[19:39] Subaru
    To even speak her name was terrifying.
[19:42] Subaru
    Everyone called her
[19:45] Subaru
    the Jealous Witch."
[19:52] Emilia
    Are you sure about this?
[19:54] Emilia
    We could call a royal car to
    take you to the capital.
[19:57] Subaru
    I'll be fine...
[19:59] Subaru
    One day, when I'm the kind of strong,
    smart, rich man who's worthy of you,
[20:04] Subaru
    I'll take you away on a white horse.
[20:06] Emilia
    Do you have a handkerchief?
[20:07] ---
    And water, lagumite ore, and...
[20:10] Emilia
    Will you be able to sleep by yourself?
[20:12] Subaru
    Do you think you're my mom?
[20:13] Roswaal
    Then, Subaru-kun, be well.
[20:17] Roswaal
    And do not lose the gift I gave you.
[20:19] Roswaal
    I added something equivalent to our three
    days' worth of memories together...
[20:25] Subaru
    Hush money, right? Don't worry, I get it.
[20:28] Subaru
    I won't say anything I shouldn't.
    I swear to the dragon.
[20:31] Roswaal
    Talking with you makes any evil scheme
    seem to lose its purpose.
[20:35] Roswaal
    And in this nation, swearing to the dragon
    is the highest form of promise.
[20:41] Roswaal
    Be sure not to forget it.
[20:43] Subaru
    Got it!
[20:45] Subaru
    You two helped me out a ton.
[20:47] Subaru
    Especially you, Rem-rin.
    Thanks for all the great food.
[20:50] Subaru
    And Ram-chi...
[20:52] Subaru
    Yeah! You're good at cleaning toilets, right?
[20:55] Rem
    Sister, Sister... Our guest is
    hopelessly bad at flattery.
[20:59] Ram
    Rem, Rem... Our guest has a
    fatal lack of skill in flattery.
[21:03] Subaru
    Oh, shut up!
[21:04] ---
    I seriously couldn't think of anything!
[21:07] Subaru
    Thanks, though.
[21:09] Both
    Yes, sir.
[21:17] Emilia
    Subaru!
[21:19] Emilia
    Thank you for everything.
[21:21] Emilia
    If you need anything, come visit anytime.
[21:25] Subaru
    Sure!
[21:28] Subaru
    Thanks, Emilia-tan!
[21:51] Subaru
    Okay, this is it.
[21:53] Subaru
    From here, I can see Emilia's
    room especially well.
[21:56] Subaru
    Now all that's left is to wait
    for something to happen.
[22:01] Subaru
    And stop it.
[22:05] Subaru
    She'd probably get mad at me
    for using it this way...
[22:10] Subaru
    I hope she does...
[22:14] Subaru
    I don't want to die.
[22:18] Subaru
    I don't want them to die.
[22:23] Subaru
    What did I tell you, Natsuki Subaru?
[22:26] Subaru
    Even if no one remembers what
    happens when things repeat,
[22:30] Subaru
    you remember.
[22:36] Subaru
    Now that I think about it, I didn't
    go shopping for Rem this time.
[22:41] Subaru
    Just because the food
    meant for me was leftover?
[22:45] Subaru
    It'll still be a while before dark.
[22:48] Subaru
    Focus! Focus!
[23:02] Subaru
    Emergency escape...
[23:05] Subaru
    I saw it!
[23:05] Subaru
    Yes, I saw it!
[23:07] Subaru
    I saw where the sound of chains came from!
[23:09] Subaru
    But is it coming this way now?
[23:16] Subaru
    Does this mean I played right
    into the attacker's hands?
[23:27] Subaru
    If you're coming, then come!
[23:35] Subaru
    Do you have the nerve?!
[23:42] Subaru
    All right... Show yourself, damn it!
[23:45] Subaru
    I've gone through all kinds
    of hell to see your face!
[24:03] Rem
    Then I have no choice.
[24:15] Rem
    The ideal scenario would have been to
    finish this without anyone noticing.
[24:24] Subaru
    You're joking...
[24:26] Subaru
    Right, Rem?
