[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. SIGN    Magic - died of weakness in sleep Sound of chains Roswaal's chains X 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? SIGN    The Sound of Chains
