[00:13] Subaru
    And now for the final exercise!
[00:15] Subaru
    Swing your arms out wide,
[00:17] Subaru
    then cross them in front of you
    as you take slow, deep breaths.
[00:21] Subaru
    In... And out...
[00:22] Ram
    I came to check on you since
    break time's almost over.
[00:24] Subaru
    In... And out...
[00:25] Rem
    Things are quite lively.
[00:27] Subaru
    Okay, finally...
[00:29] Subaru
    Victory!
[00:30] All
    Victory!
[00:35] Subaru
    All right!
[00:36] Guy
    Yeah!
[00:39] Old
    I feel so much younger.
[00:48] Subaru
    Okay, everyone has touched me now.
[00:51] Ram
    Barusu...
[00:53] Ram
    What sort of game is this?
[00:55] Subaru
    Radio calisthenics.
[00:57] Subaru
    I think the fact that everyone,
    young and old, can enjoy it
[01:00] Subaru
    is the secret to its many long years of success!
[01:03] Ram
    Who cares?
[01:04] Mildo
    Ram-chi, that was cold.
[01:06] Dyne
    Ram-chi, that was mean.
[01:07] Lucas
    Ram-chi, you're scary.
[01:11] Ram
    Did you teach these children to call me that?
[01:13] Subaru
    Well, it was more like...
[01:15] Subaru
    I wanted to spread some friendliness around?
[01:19] Ram
    I don't mind, but what about Rem?
[01:23] Mildo
    Rem-rin?
[01:24] Dyne
    Rem-rin?
[01:24] Lucas
    Rem-rin-rin?
[01:29] Ram
    And? Did you enjoy the village
    trip you wanted so much?
[01:32] Subaru
    Nothing to worry about there.
[01:34] Subaru
    When Muraosa patted my shoulder at
    the end, my trip was complete.
[01:39] Subaru
    What's up?
[01:41] Subaru
    If you wanna say something, out with it.
[01:43] Maylie
    U-Um...
[01:45] Maylie
    Over there.
[01:51] Ram
    Have your way a bit longer.
[01:53] Rem
    If you say so, Sister.
[01:55] Subaru
    All right! I owe you both, Senpai!
[02:09] Subaru
    That's right, there was an event like this, too.
[02:14] Subaru
    And this still happens?
[02:16] Petra
    She's usually so tame.
[02:18] Mildo
    She only gets mad at Subaru.
[02:20] Lucas
    What'd you do to her, Subaru?
[02:22] Subaru
    That's what I'd like to know.
[02:25] Subaru
    If it's happened three times,
    I guess we're just incompatible...
[02:29] Subaru
    Oh, now's my chance!
[02:30] Subaru
    If you'll excuse me...
[02:35] Subaru
    There's the sensation I've longed to feel!
[02:37] Subaru
    Nice! For a stray, this is great!
[02:40] Subaru
    Hey, you've got a bald
    spot on top of your head.
[02:43] Subaru
    Is it a scar? What did you walk int—
[02:45] Subaru
    Yow!
[02:48] Subaru
    You even bit me in nearly the same spot...
[02:50] Subaru
    Are you a time traveler?
[02:54] Lucas
    You got carried away!
[02:55] Mildo
    It's what you get for touching her so much.
[02:57] Petra
    She is a girl, after all.
[02:59] Subaru
    I don't think that's quite the problem here.
[03:02] Subaru
    Also, no one's worried about me?
[03:04] ---
    I'm gonna cry!
[03:08] Subaru
    I made it... I made it!
[03:10] Subaru
    Well done, me! Good job!
[03:12] Subaru
    Seriously, good job!
[03:14] Rem
    Yes, yes, well done.
[03:15] Ram
    Yes, yes, good work.
[03:17] Roswaal
    Ah, I see the three of you are together.
[03:21] Roswaal
    That will save me some time.
[03:23] Both
    Roswaal-sama.
[03:25] Subaru
    Formal clothes?
[03:28] Roswaal
    Well spotted.
[03:30] Roswaal
    I'm seeing someone who's a hassle
    to deal with in normal attire,
[03:34] Roswaal
    so I had no choice but to wear dress clothes.
[03:37] Rem
    A visitor?
[03:38] Ram
    You're going out?
[03:40] Roswaal
    Ram is correct. I'm going out.
[03:43] Roswaal
    I received a message that
    was a tad troublesome...
[03:47] Roswaal
    So I'm off to make the rounds outside.
[03:49] Roswaal
    I don't expect to be home tonight,
[03:53] Roswaal
    so Ram and Rem, take care of things.
[03:56] Ram
    Yes, sir. As you command.
[03:58] Rem
    Yes, sir. Even if it costs our lives.
[04:00] Subaru
    Roswaal didn't leave the mansion before...
[04:05] Roswaal
    I'm counting on you, too, Subaru-kun.
[04:08] Roswaal
    Take good care of Emilia-sama.
[04:12] Subaru
    Sure. You can definitely count on me for that!
[04:15] Roswaal
    Then, look after things while I'm away.
[04:19] Subaru
    H-He can fly?
[04:26] Subaru
    Magic is incredible...
[04:30] Subaru
    The difference in circumstances
[04:32] Subaru
    must have been triggered
    by my visit to the village.
[04:36] Subaru
    That means my strategy of acting
    as a decoy is working as planned.
[04:43] Subaru
    And that's why I'm here for my
    long-awaited Beako time!
[04:46] Beatrice
    Your face looks quite different
    than it did half a day ago.
[04:49] Beatrice
    You've been busy, I suppose.
[04:51] Subaru
    I'd love to take it easy for a change, you know...
[04:54] Subaru
    But there's something I want
    you to check out for me.
[04:58] Subaru
    I think I've been cursed.
    Could you find out for sure?
[05:02] Beatrice
    What are you talking about?
[05:04] Subaru
    I think I've been cursed.
    Could you find out for sure?
[05:07] Beatrice
    No one asked you to repeat yourself, I suppose!
[05:11] Beatrice
    It's only been half a day since
    I told you about shamans.
[05:14] Beatrice
    You're far too impressionabl—
[05:17] Beatrice
    Traces of a curse...
[05:19] Beatrice
    You really have been cursed, I suppose?!
[05:21] Subaru
    So the shaman was one
    of the villagers, after all.
[05:25] Subaru
    Can you tell what kind of curse it is?
[05:28] Beatrice
    I can't say just from looking at the curse.
[05:31] Beatrice
    But as I told you, once it's activated,
[05:34] Beatrice
    chances are you'll die, I suppose.
[05:38] Beatrice
    You don't seem to be afraid of dying at all.
[05:42] Subaru
    Huh? Are you nuts?
[05:44] Subaru
    I'm insanely scared of dying!
[05:46] Subaru
    There's nothing in the world that
    scares me more than dying!
[05:50] Subaru
    I wish people who say "I'd rather die"
    would actually die before they say it!
[05:54] Subaru
    That's why, this time, I'll find a way out...
[05:58] Subaru
    of this fate.
[06:00] Subaru
    Okay, so get rid of this curse for me, would you?
[06:03] Subaru
    I don't have much time.
[06:05] Beatrice
    Why should I have to save your life, I suppose?
[06:08] Subaru
    I expected an unlovable response like that,
[06:11] Subaru
    so I came prepared to convince you.
[06:14] Subaru
    If I die, Puck is bound to be sad.
[06:17] Beatrice
    Huh?
[06:18] Beatrice
    Bubby wouldn't be all that disturbed if you died.
[06:23] Subaru
    Oh, no...
[06:24] ---
    If I were to die, Emilia would
    be at least a little shocked.
[06:27] Subaru
    When Emilia feels shock,
    Puck takes damage, too.
[06:30] Subaru
    And if you could have stopped it,
    but didn't, what would he think of you?
[06:36] Beatrice
    I'll go along with your smooth
    talk this time, I suppose!
[06:39] Beatrice
    But after this, I'll have nothing
    more to do with you again.
[06:42] Subaru
    Sure!
[06:44] Subaru
    But I'll always come to ask for
    your help when I'm in trouble!
[06:49] Beatrice
    I'll destroy the spell used in
    the curse now, I suppose.
[06:53] Beatrice
    The spell is burned into you on the
    spot that the shaman touched,
[06:57] Beatrice
    so that's our reference.
[06:59] Subaru
    I prepared for this. Don't worry.
[07:02] Subaru
    The young men's leader with the crew cut...
[07:04] Subaru
    The old lady who felt so much younger
    that she patted my butt...
[07:07] Subaru
    And Muraosa, the fake village head.
[07:09] Subaru
    I made sure all the suspects
    touched different parts of me.
[07:24] Subaru
    A black mist?
[07:26] Beatrice
    How abhorrent, I suppose.
[07:31] Beatrice
    All done. You'll be fine now, I suppose.
[07:36] Subaru
    So the place that the black mist came from
[07:39] ---
    is where the shaman touched me, right?
[07:46] Subaru
    Could that puppy actually be...
[07:49] Subaru
    I have to get to the village.
[07:51] Subaru
    They just keep messing with me!
[07:57] Ram
    The village? What for?
[08:00] Subaru
    Beatrice said the one who gave me this
    wound is responsible for cursing me.
[08:05] Subaru
    It was the dog that the kids were playing with!
[08:09] Subaru
    That dog-looking thing cursed everyone it bit!
[08:13] Subaru
    If I don't do something,
    they'll be in danger.
[08:16] Subaru
    If you don't trust me, you can come along.
[08:19] Subaru
    But we can't leave Emilia alone here.
[08:22] Subaru
    Only one of you can come!
[08:24] Rem
    You're making up your own rules...
[08:26] Rem
    And if we are to obey Roswaal-sama's orders,
[08:29] Rem
    there's no reason for either
    of us to go with you.
[08:32] Subaru
    No, there's not.
[08:34] Subaru
    But was that the only order Roswaal gave me?
[08:39] Ram
    Very well, Barusu.
[08:41] ---
    I'll allow you to act on your judgment.
[08:43] Rem
    Sister...
[08:44] Ram
    Rem will accompany you.
[08:46] Subaru
    Just what I wanted to hear!
[08:48] Ram
    Rem, that's my decision, so please go.
[08:51] Ram
    I'll confirm with Beatrice-sama
    and protect Emilia-sama.
[08:55] Ram
    I'll keep an eye on that, too.
[08:57] Rem
    Sister, you shouldn't...
[08:59] Emilia
    Subaru, are you going somewhere?
[09:02] Emilia
    I heard loud voices, so I came down
    to see what was going on...
[09:05] Emilia
    What happened?
[09:06] Subaru
    Something might be happening.
[09:09] Subaru
    But you don't need to worry.
[09:11] Emilia
    You look like you're going to do
    something dangerous again!
[09:13] Subaru
    We were just wrapping up a dispute
    on that particular topic.
[09:18] Emilia
    I can't stop you, can I?
[09:19] Subaru
    I guess not, no.
[09:22] Subaru
    In fact, if you do, it'd be a
    hindrance in several ways...
[09:28] Emilia
    Fine, fine, I get it.
[09:30] Emilia
    I won't stop you.
[09:32] Emilia
    It's probably no use telling you not
    to be rash or reckless, too, right?
[09:36] Subaru
    Depending on what happens...
[09:38] Subaru
    I mean, it's not like I want to do any of that.
[09:43] Emilia
    May the blessing of the spirits be with you.
[09:47] Subaru
    Huh? Say what?
[09:49] Emilia
    It's a prayer to send you off.
    It means "come back safely."
[09:55] Subaru
    Got it, Emilia-tan.
[09:58] Subaru
    Okay, I'm off.
[10:00] Emilia
    Take care.
[10:16] Rem
    Has something happened?
[10:17] Guy
    Y-Yeah... Several of the village
    children have gone missing.
[10:21] Guy
    All the adults are looking for them.
[10:24] Subaru
    Was I too late?
[10:28] Subaru
    There!
[10:30] Rem
    Subaru-kun?
[10:45] Rem
    The barrier is broken.
[10:48] Subaru
    What happens when the barrier's broken?
[10:50] Rem
    Mabeasts can cross the boundary.
[10:53] Subaru
    Mabeasts?
[10:54] Rem
    Mabeasts are creatures of the witch's creation.
[10:57] Rem
    They're enemies of humanity
    that have magic powers.
[11:00] Rem
    They live gregariously in the forest.
[11:03] Subaru
    Gregariously?
[11:05] Subaru
    You mean tons more dogs
    like that one are out there?
[11:11] Subaru
    The kids are in the forest.
[11:14] Subaru
    Tell everyone!
[11:16] Guy
    Right!
[11:20] Rem
    Subaru-kun, what are you...
[11:22] Subaru
    I have to go save those kids!
[11:24] Rem
    Wait! You can't make that decision on your own.
[11:27] Rem
    With Roswaal-sama away from home,
[11:30] Rem
    can you be sure that this isn't a ruse to
    divert attention from the mansion?
[11:34] Subaru
    What do we do, then?
[11:35] Subaru
    Ignore kids who are in trouble right now,
[11:38] Subaru
    go back to the mansion, and tighten security?
[11:40] Subaru
    If you won't care when all the
    villagers are dead tomorrow,
[11:43] Subaru
    I guess that's an option.
[11:46] Subaru
    Rem, let's go. We're the only ones
    who can do something about this.
[11:51] Rem
    Why go so far?
[11:53] Rem
    Why should this village matter to you?
[11:56] Subaru
    You know, Petra...
[11:57] Subaru
    She wants to make clothes in
    the capital when she grows up.
[12:01] Rem
    Huh?
[12:02] Subaru
    Lucas wants to succeed the
    village's best woodcutter.
[12:07] Subaru
    Mildo wants to make a crown
    from the flowers in the fields,
[12:10] Subaru
    and give it to his mother.
[12:13] Subaru
    Meina is going to have a baby sister soon.
[12:16] Subaru
    And the brothers, Dyne and Cain, are
    always fighting over who'll marry Petra.
[12:26] Subaru
    They do matter to me.
[12:28] Subaru
    I know their names, their faces,
[12:30] Subaru
    and what they want to do in the future.
[12:33] Subaru
    And I promised them we'd do radio
    calisthenics again tomorrow.
[12:38] Subaru
    I keep my promises, and I make
    sure others keep theirs.
[12:42] Subaru
    I'm going to do radio calisthenics
    with those kids again.
[12:47] Subaru
    So I'm going in there.
[12:53] Rem
    Very well.
[12:56] Rem
    My orders were to keep an eye on you.
[13:00] Subaru
    Yeah, that's right.
[13:02] ---
    Make sure I don't do anything shady!
[13:08] Rem
    I will.
[13:14] Subaru
    Um, Rem-san, is that...
[13:16] Rem
    It's for protection.
[13:17] Subaru
    But that's...
[13:18] Rem
    It's for protection.
[13:31] Rem
    We're close. I smell something alive.
[13:34] Subaru
    The kids?
[13:35] Rem
    I'm not sure, but it doesn't smell like animals.
[13:50] Subaru
    It's the kids!
[13:55] Subaru
    She's alive.
[13:56] Subaru
    They're alive!
[13:58] Rem
    No, they're still breathing now,
[14:00] ---
    but they are very weak.
[14:02] Rem
    If left alone...
[14:03] Subaru
    Weak... The curse?
[14:08] Subaru
    And we finally found them...
[14:10] Subaru
    Rem, can't you undo it?
[14:12] Rem
    I lack the skill for this.
[14:14] Rem
    If only my sister were here to see them...
[14:17] Rem
    But I will cast a healing spell to comfort them.
[14:21] Rem
    When they're calm, we'll carry them back.
[14:24] Subaru
    Okay, I'll...
[14:27] Subaru
    Damn, I'm so useless.
[14:29] Subaru
    I'll keep watch—
[14:30] Petra
    Subaru?
[14:32] Subaru
    You're awake, Petra?
[14:34] Subaru
    All right, good. You're a tough girl.
[14:36] Subaru
    Don't overdo it, though.
[14:38] Subaru
    I'll take you back home, where you
    can say goodbye to the pain.
[14:41] Subaru
    Just rest for—
[14:42] Petra
    One is...
[14:44] Petra
    still... in the...
[14:48] Subaru
    Hey, what'd you say? Petra!
[14:54] Subaru
    Damn it, she's right. I don't
    see the little girl with the braid!
[14:57] Rem
    P-Please, wait! It's too dangerous.
[15:00] Rem
    And if the mabeasts took her, it's already...
[15:03] Subaru
    I get what you're saying! I do!
[15:06] Subaru
    But, Rem...
[15:08] Subaru
    Petra says another girl was taken away.
[15:12] Subaru
    She showed concern for her friend
    before asking for my help.
[15:16] Subaru
    She put her friend before herself!
[15:21] Subaru
    I want to respect Petra's feelings.
[15:24] Subaru
    If you take something on, you should
    make the effort to take it all on.
[15:27] Rem
    If you get too greedy,
[15:29] Rem
    you might take on more
    than you can carry back.
[15:33] Subaru
    That's why you're with me, isn't it?
[15:36] Rem
    What does that have to do with me?
[15:38] Subaru
    Those kids need you now.
[15:42] Subaru
    When the villagers show up,
[15:43] Subaru
    leave the kids with them and follow me.
[15:47] Rem
    We don't know the threat our opponent
    presents, or when the villagers will arrive.
[15:52] Rem
    And at worst, there is a chance
    I won't be able to find you.
[15:55] Subaru
    It'll be fine. You won't lose me.
[15:58] Rem
    What makes you so sure?
[16:00] Subaru
    Even if no one else does,
    you can pick up my scent.
[16:05] Subaru
    The foul odor that hangs on me...
[16:07] ---
    The witch's scent.
[16:09] Subaru
    Right?
[16:11] Rem
    Subaru-kun, how much do you know about...
[16:13] Subaru
    No idea... There's a ton I don't understand.
[16:17] Subaru
    So much that no matter how
    many times I start over,
[16:20] Subaru
    I can't find the answer I'm looking for.
[16:24] Subaru
    Just like there are things you want to ask me,
[16:27] Subaru
    there are tons of things I want to ask you.
[16:31] Subaru
    So when this is all taken care of, let's talk.
[16:33] Subaru
    Until our voices are hoarse! Promise?
[16:40] Subaru
    I trust you, Rem.
[16:42] Subaru
    So I want to act in a way
    that makes you trust me.
[16:45] Subaru
    I'll make that promise right now!
[16:50] Rem
    Very well. The promise is made.
[16:54] Rem
    I will ask you many questions, so be ready.
[16:56] Subaru
    Sure!
[16:58] Rem
    Once the villagers come for
    the kids, I'll come join you.
[17:01] Rem
    Don't do anything reckless.
[17:04] Subaru
    Don't worry! I'm demonically inspired today!
[17:08] Rem
    Demonically?
[17:10] Subaru
    It's the demon version of divine inspiration.
[17:12] Subaru
    It's my favorite phrase lately!
[17:16] Rem
    Please be careful.
[17:24] Subaru
    If the one that cursed those kids
    really was that dog from today,
[17:29] Subaru
    there's no way I can lose, right?
[17:34] Subaru
    I smell animals.
[17:46] Subaru
    Is it a trap?
[17:51] Subaru
    Emilia wouldn't hesitate!
[18:03] Subaru
    Thank goodness...
[18:19] Subaru
    This is not what we discussed!
[18:21] Subaru
    Why is it so huge?
[18:24] Subaru
    And was it waiting for me to come for her?
[18:29] Subaru
    Nowhere to run...
[18:34] Subaru
    Damn it! If you wanna fight, bring it on!
[18:48] Subaru
    That...
[18:50] Subaru
    doesn't hurt!
[18:52] Subaru
    You just bit me, didn't you, you moron?!
[19:14] Subaru
    I won...
[19:23] Subaru
    You've gotta be kidding me...
[19:29] Subaru
    If you wanna fight, bring it on!
[19:41] Rem
    The children have been safely
    returned to the village.
[19:44] Rem
    Thank you for buying time.
[19:48] Subaru
    Rem, watch ou—
[19:50] Rem
    Shh.
[19:54] Subaru
    Y-You're strong!
[19:57] Rem
    I'm not sure if that's a nice thing
    to say to a girl, Subaru-kun.
[20:01] Subaru
    I have no other words to describe you!
[20:04] Subaru
    You're seriously incredible!
[20:09] Subaru
    So, Rem, would you be able to take them
    all out in one shot, by chance?
[20:13] Rem
    We are outnumbered. With this
    many, our situation is dire.
[20:16] Subaru
    Yeah, I guess it would be.
[20:18] Subaru
    In that case... There!
[20:21] Rem
    Now!
[20:41] Subaru
    Rem, I don't know the way!
[20:43] Rem
    Straight ahead.
[20:45] Rem
    Once we cross the barrier, the battle will end.
[20:47] Rem
    Run toward the village bonfire!
[20:49] Subaru
    Got it!
[21:02] Subaru
    Rem, I see light!
[21:03] Subaru
    We're almost to the barrier!
[21:23] Subaru
    Rem?
[21:41] Subaru
    Damn it...
[22:18] Rem
    Mabeast! Mabeast! Mabeast! Mabeast!
[22:20] Rem
    Witch!
[22:22] Rem
    Mabeast! Mabeast! Mabeast! Mabeast!
[22:33] Subaru
    She's a demon...
[22:53] Rem
    Subaru-kun!
[22:58] Rem
    Don't die...
[23:00] Rem
    Don't die! Don't die!
[23:02] ---
    Don't die!
