**[01:00] Liza**
Here she comes.
**[02:42] Adolf**
I'd like you to come
to the College, Chise.
**[02:54] Adolf**
I believe I've spoken about it before.
**[02:58] Chise**
You mentioned that it's a school for
sorcerers and a mutual aid organization.
**[03:02] Elias**
I'm not convinced.
**[03:05] Elias**
Why should Chise go to such
a place, when she is a mage?
**[03:10] Adolf**
In addition to being a Sleigh Beggy,
**[03:14] Adolf**
Chise carries two curses with her.
**[03:17] Adolf**
The curse of the dragon,
and the curse of immortality.
**[03:20] Adolf**
I apologize if this comes
across as insensitive,
**[03:23] Adolf**
but as a researcher, she's too
great an opportunity to pass up.
**[03:29] Adolf**
Might we ask for your cooperation?
**[03:32] Adolf**
Of course, we would support you to
the best of our ability, as well.
**[03:36] Adolf**
If you'd like, we can arrange for you to
take classes with the other students.
**[03:43] Adolf**
We won't burden you overmuch,
**[03:45] Adolf**
and I'll ensure you receive the maximum
compensation we can offer.
**[03:49] Adolf**
Maybe we'll even find
a way to lift the curses.
**[03:58] Elias**
Chise.
**[04:01] Adolf**
I'll step out for the time being.
**[04:04] Adolf**
Please, talk it out.
**[04:11] Chise**
What do you think, Elias?
**[04:14] Elias**
I absolutely hate it.
**[04:16] Elias**
I don't want them prodding at you.
**[04:20] Elias**
But...
**[04:23] Elias**
What about you?
**[04:29] Chise**
I've been thinking for a while now...
**[04:33] Chise**
About how I don't know anything.
**[04:38] Chise**
It's why I default to sacrificing
myself whenever there's a need.
**[04:47] Chise**
Even though people tell
me that's a bad thing.
**[04:51] (Flashback) Angelica**
I told you not to try to do
everything by yourself.
**[04:54] (Flashback) Elias**
You think that by destroying yourself,
you can earn the right to be here.
**[05:00] Chise**
I don't understand why that's bad.
**[05:04] (Flashback) Joseph**
What's the difference between
what you tried to earn
**[05:08] (Flashback) Joseph**
by sacrificing yourself, and what I want?!
**[05:13] Chise**
But if there are things I can learn
**[05:16] Chise**
in order not to have to sacrifice
myself to solve problems...
**[05:20] Chise**
If I can accomplish what I want
without hurting anyone...
**[05:25] Chise**
I want to learn that.
**[05:27] Chise**
It might be of help to me
or someone else someday.
**[05:39] Elias**
They might dissect you.
**[05:41] Chise**
You'll help me if they try, right?
**[05:46] Elias**
I understand your point of view.
**[05:50] Elias**
I have a lot to say, but, well...
**[05:53] Elias**
I'll attend the College with you, then.
**[05:59] Chise**
Huh?
**[06:04] Liza**
Pleased to meet you. I'm Liza.
**[06:09] Liza**
Liza Quillyn.
**[06:12] Liza**
I'm the president of the English College.
**[06:15] Liza**
Thank you sincerely for your
cooperation, Chise Hatori.
**[06:19] Liza**
We intend to repay you properly.
**[06:24] Liza**
Here you are.
**[06:26] Liza**
As a token of welcome.
**[06:31] Chise**
Thank you.
**[06:33] Liza**
This place exists to protect and nurture
not just you, but everyone here.
**[06:41] Liza**
Try not to become too complacent, but make
yourself at home and enjoy your time here.
**[06:46] Chise**
Okay.
**[06:49] Liza**
Good day.
**[06:52] Adolf**
As of today, you'll be
a special student here.
**[06:56] Adolf**
Ainsworth will be a visiting
instructor in the Magic Department.
**[07:00] Adolf**
I'll take you there next.
**[07:05] Gregory**
How was she?
**[07:09] Liza**
Promising.
**[07:10] Liza**
She may be a bit lacking in confidence,
but she seems to have a strong will.
**[07:15] Gregory**
Meaning?
**[07:18] Liza**
She steers her own ship.
**[07:26] Chise**
A sky underground?
**[07:28] Adolf**
We're using sorcery to project
the sky from another location.
**[07:31] Adolf**
Now, this way, please.
**[07:39] Adolf**
This is a view of the entire College.
**[07:41] Adolf**
It's comprised of several
underground towers.
**[07:51] Adolf**
The administration tower
is here in the center.
**[07:53] Adolf**
The training tower,
**[07:54] Adolf**
book management tower,
**[07:55] Adolf**
dormitory tower,
**[07:57] Adolf**
classroom tower,
**[07:58] Adolf**
laboratory tower,
**[08:00] Adolf**
and waste disposal facility
tower, making seven in total.
**[08:03] Adolf**
Each tower then is separated
into different floors.
**[08:08] Adolf**
You don't have to remember all of this now.
**[08:12] Chise**
Uh-huh...
**[08:14] Adolf**
Now, I'd like to show you around
each of the towers right away...
**[08:20] Adolf**
But, there's someone waiting eagerly
to meet you first. My apologies.
**[08:28] Alexandra**
Welcome!
**[08:30] Chise**
Th-Thanks.
**[08:34] Alexandra**
I'm Alexandra Heath.
**[08:37] Alexandra**
I'm in charge of the medical room.
**[08:41] Chise**
Chise Hatori.
**[08:43] Alexandra**
Follow me.
**[08:45] Alexandra**
We'll get your examination
done in the other room.
**[08:47] Alexandra**
You won't have to worry
about any prying eyes.
**[08:52] Alexandra**
No observers, please.
**[08:56] Elias**
I'm her guardian.
**[09:00] Alexandra**
There are things that are difficult
to say, especially to friends,
**[09:03] Alexandra**
especially to family, and
especially to guardians.
**[09:08] Chise**
U-Um...
**[09:10] Adolf**
I'm sorry.
**[09:12] Adolf**
I still haven't finished giving these
two a tour of the College yet.
**[09:18] Adolf**
So...
**[09:25] Alexandra**
Then you two have fun together!
**[09:31] Adolf**
Well... I'll show you around
the staff room, then.
**[09:36] Elias**
I don't need a room.
**[09:42] Alexandra**
I see.
**[09:43] Alexandra**
You made a fairy medicine and nearly died.
**[09:46] Alexandra**
You took in a dragon's
curse and nearly died.
**[09:50] Alexandra**
You were gutted by a wandering
sorcerer and nearly died.
**[09:54] Alexandra**
And then you swapped eyeballs and
were given his curse of immortality.
**[10:01] Alexandra**
Quite the troublemaker, hmm?
**[10:05] Alexandra**
You seem quite reckless,
but you've done well.
**[10:11] Alexandra**
You must think about the people
around you, too, though.
**[10:16] Chise**
Yes.
**[10:17] Alexandra**
Well, is there anything else
that you'd like to discuss?
**[10:24] Chise**
Actually...
**[10:29] Adolf**
I was a little surprised earlier.
**[10:34] Adolf**
In the medical room, I mean.
**[10:37] Adolf**
I thought you might refuse
to leave her side.
**[10:42] Adolf**
I mean, you can hide in
the shadows, can't you?
**[10:48] Elias**
I don't have any biological
organs inside my body.
**[10:55] Elias**
Yet, when I think about the time
Chise caught me hiding near her...
**[11:01] Elias**
I feel something like my organs tensing.
**[11:06] Elias**
So I won't do it.
**[11:10] Adolf**
You mean, you're afraid?
**[11:13] Elias**
Afraid?
**[11:14] Adolf**
Oh, um...
**[11:16] Adolf**
I'm just saying I might personally describe
that as the sensation of being afraid.
**[11:23] Elias**
Afraid...
**[11:25] Elias**
I see.
**[11:27] Elias**
It's not a sensation I'd like
to experience for too long.
**[11:33] Adolf**
Why did you come to the College with her?
**[11:36] Adolf**
What changed?
**[11:38] Elias**
I had no choice.
**[11:39] Elias**
You could say I'm here as a guard.
**[11:41] Adolf**
I see.
**[11:45] Adolf**
The Seven Shields are not a monolith.
**[11:49] Adolf**
The current absence is significant.
**[11:51] Adolf**
It's somewhat unstable.
**[11:54] Adolf**
Please do keep a good eye on her.
**[11:57] Elias**
Right.
**[12:06] Elias**
He's right, though.
**[12:09] Elias**
To think I'd be doing such a thing,
in such a populous place...
**[12:21] Elias**
I wonder what she's doing right now.
**[12:25] Elias**
Would she be surprised if
she learned about me now?
**[12:29] Renfred**
Ainsworth.
**[12:37] Alexandra**
Ever since you swapped left
eyes with the sorcerer,
**[12:41] Alexandra**
you have frequent flashbacks
to memories that aren't yours.
**[12:45] Alexandra**
And you've become sensitive to malice,
the gazes of others, and other presences.
**[12:51] Alexandra**
But you're feeling well
otherwise, at least physically?
**[12:55] Chise**
If anything, I've been even better
since the wound on my stomach healed.
**[12:59] Chise**
I can lift heavy things now.
**[13:02] Alexandra**
How heavy, specifically?
***SIGN*** Yoink
**[13:06] Chise**
About two people's worth?
**[13:08] Alexandra**
Fantastic!
**[13:09] Alexandra**
How many years' worth of memories
would you say you've seen?
**[13:20] Chise**
Not all of it is clear.
**[13:24] Chise**
But about a thousand years, I think.
**[13:28] Alexandra**
That's more than enough to
dwarf your own awareness.
**[13:32] Alexandra**
Do people ever tell you that
your personality's changed?
**[13:35] Alexandra**
Or do you ever consider options that you
certainly never would have in the past?
**[13:41] Chise**
Not yet.
**[13:47] Chise**
Who's that?
**[13:55] Alexandra**
Chise?!
**[13:59] Chise**
I'm sorry.
**[14:01] Chise**
I felt like someone was watching me.
**[14:07] Alexandra**
No, it's all right.
**[14:09] Alexandra**
Let's just keep an eye on you for a while.
**[14:12] Chise**
Okay.
**[14:20] Adolf**
This is the staff room.
**[14:24] Renfred**
You're going to live here?
**[14:26] Elias**
No, I'm commuting.
**[14:29] Renfred**
Commuting?
**[14:30] Renfred**
It'd take at least three hours each way.
**[14:32] Elias**
I know a shortcut.
**[14:36] Elias**
Are you commuting, too?
**[14:38] Elias**
The same as us, then.
**[14:39] Renfred**
I'm not the same as you.
**[14:43] Elias**
You hate me, don't you?
**[14:46] Elias**
Have I done something to you?
**[14:51] Renfred**
You aren't the only one I hate.
**[15:00] Adolf**
I'm sure his hatred isn't personal.
**[15:04] Adolf**
He's been notoriously misanthropic
since his student days.
**[15:09] Elias**
I'm certain I *am* hated,
just not that intensely.
**[15:15] Elias**
I don't feel the need
to kill him, after all.
**[15:25] Elias**
By the way...
**[15:27] Elias**
What exactly should I do for class?
**[15:31] Adolf**
I figured you'd ask, so I brought a manual.
**[15:38] Chise**
I followed Alexandra's directions, but...
**[15:42] Chise**
Are these the dorms she was talking about?
**[15:45] Ruth**
Don't ask me.
**[15:46] Chise**
She said there's dorm matron here.
**[15:49] Olivia**
My, oh my!
**[15:52] Olivia**
What a wonderful scent.
**[15:54] Olivia**
An unusual smell.
**[15:57] Olivia**
The smell of magic.
**[16:04] Chise**
Cats.
**[16:05] Olivia**
I'm Olivia.
**[16:07] Camellia**
Camellia.
**[16:08] Rose Lyn**
Rose Lyn.
**[16:09] Olivia**
And our mother, Florence.
**[16:13] Chise**
They're cats...
**[16:15] Chise**
But not the kind of cats I know.
**[16:18] Olivia**
You're the new girl.
**[16:20] Olivia**
Do you know what grade you're in yet?
**[16:22] Chise**
Um...
**[16:24] Chise**
I'm a first-year in junior high school.
**[16:27] Chise**
Uh...
**[16:28] Chise**
Are you the dorm matrons?
**[16:31] Olivia**
Yes, that's us.
**[16:35] Olivia**
You can ask us anything you'd like.
**[16:37] Camellia**
You can trust us with any of your worries.
**[16:40] Rose Lyn**
You can tell us anything you'd like.
**[16:42] Olivia**
However, if you do any bad-mouthing, we'll
scratch and bite you until you're crying.
**[16:47] Rose Lyn**
So, which of us would you like for your home?
**[16:53] Chise**
Oh, wait.
**[16:58] Olivia**
This way.
**[17:01] Camellia**
Over here.
**[17:05] Rose Lyn**
Here, you'll find children who love their
homes, children who hate their homes,
**[17:09] Rose Lyn**
children who don't want their homes,
children who have no homes...
**[17:12] Rose Lyn**
All kinds of children.
**[17:14] Rose Lyn**
We're here for the children who live here.
**[17:19] Rose Lyn**
If you're honest and proud
of your history, choose Olivia.
**[17:23] Rose Lyn**
If you love the future and
seek it out, choose Camellia.
**[17:27] Rose Lyn**
If you have freedom in your
heart, choose Rose Lyn.
**[17:34] Cats**
Who do you want for your home?
**[17:40] Chise**
I already have a home, but...
**[17:44] Chise**
Someone once told me that I'm free.
**[17:52] Chise**
I leave myself in your care, Rose Lyn.
**[17:56] Rose Lyn**
Likewise, Hatori Chise.
**[17:59] Camellia**
Stay out of trouble, child of Rose Lyn.
**[18:03] Olivia**
Well, nice to meet you.
**[18:13] Rose Lyn**
This is your room here.
**[18:17] Rose Lyn**
You can read all the rules in
the book in the desk drawer.
**[18:24] Rose Lyn**
Communicate well with your roommate.
**[18:27] Rose Lyn**
Don't hold back when you
need to laugh or cry.
**[18:30] Rose Lyn**
And enjoy every day.
**[18:33] Rose Lyn**
Understood?
**[18:35] Chise**
Yes.
**[18:36] Rose Lyn**
Come to me if you ever need anything.
**[18:39] Chise**
Thank you.
**[18:48] Chise**
I hope I won't be interrupting
if someone's trying to sleep.
**[18:53] Chise**
Should I knock to avoid being rude?
**[18:57] Chise**
I don't want to wake them up, though...
**[19:01] Chise**
I'm getting nervous.
**[19:05] Student A**
*She's creepy, right?*
**[19:07] Student B**
*She's always on her own.*
**[19:10] Student C**
*I've never seen her smile.*
**[19:12] Student D**
*I saw her talking to herself in class.*
**[19:15] Student E**
*Ew.*
**[19:20] Chise**
No way.
**[19:21] Chise**
They're all sorcerers.
**[19:23] Chise**
I'm sure they'll understand me,
even when I'm being weird...
**[19:27] Chise**
Wait, no, they might be suspicious of me.
**[19:39] Chise**
Even Joseph wasn't this scary.
**[19:44] Chise**
But...
**[19:47] Chise**
I'm here to seek things out.
**[19:52] Chise**
Okay.
**[19:58] Lucy**
Why didn't you knock?!
**[20:02] Chise**
I-I'm sorry!
**[20:03] Chise**
I didn't expect anyone to be right there.
**[20:07] Lucy**
You were dawdling in front of the door!
**[20:09] Lucy**
Of course I saw you!
**[20:10] Chise**
S-Sorry.
**[20:16] Lucy**
Whatever, you're forgiven.
**[20:19] Lucy**
You're my new roommate, aren't you?
**[20:25] Lucy**
Lucy.
**[20:26] Lucy**
Lucy Webster.
**[20:30] Chise**
Chise Hatori.
**[20:32] Chise**
Nice to meet you.
**[20:35] Lucy**
Your bed's over there.
**[20:37] Lucy**
That's your desk.
**[20:38] Lucy**
The dorm rules are in the drawer.
**[20:41] Lucy**
Your uniform's in the closet.
**[20:44] Chise**
Uh...
**[20:44] Lucy**
Got it?
**[20:45] Chise**
Yes.
**[20:46] Lucy**
Also, I'm not good at talking to people.
**[20:51] Lucy**
If you want someone to
chat with, find someone else.
**[20:54] Lucy**
That'll make it easier for both of us.
**[20:57] Lucy**
I'm gonna sleep until right
before class starts.
**[21:00] Lucy**
Don't wake me up.
**[21:19] Chise**
It's okay.
**[21:21] Chise**
It's just been a while.
**[21:24] Chise**
Having a hole in my stomach was way worse.
**[21:34] Chise**
Okay.
**[21:58] Chise**
Where's the training room?
**[22:01] Ruth**
Again, don't ask me.
**[22:12] Ruth**
Chise!
**[22:16] Chise**
What do I even do?
**[22:19] Chise**
I'm usually on the other
side of this situation.
**[22:22] Chise**
I don't know what to do.

**[00:14] Student A**
Wow.
**[00:16] Student A**
Huh?
**[00:18] Student A**
Are you the new teacher?
**[00:24] Elias (female)**
Oh, right.
**[00:30] Elias (female)**
I am.
**[02:10] Chise**
What do I do?
**[02:12] Ruth**
Call for a doctor first, I guess.
**[02:16] Ruth**
You're pretty strong.
**[02:18] Chise**
I could probably lift one more person.
**[02:21] Ruth**
That dragon curse isn't all bad, huh?
**[02:24] Ruth**
Although it feels a bit creepy.
**[02:28] Chise**
Are you all right?
**[02:30] Chise**
Uh, you shouldn't flail around like that.
**[02:37] Philomela**
L-Let me down.
**[02:40] Philomela**
I'll be all right.
**[02:42] Philomela**
Please.
**[02:45] Chise**
Sorry.
**[02:48] Chise**
Have you ever collapsed before?
**[02:52] Chise**
If you know what causes it, you
should probably take your medicine.
**[02:57] Chise**
Are you anemic? Do you get
headaches? Stomachaches?
**[02:59] Chise**
Anything else that's bothering you?
**[03:02] Philomela**
U-Um...
**[03:03] Chise**
If you just need a preventative or if
the problem's mild, tea should do it...
**[03:07] Chise**
But you'd need to take it continuously,
**[03:09] Chise**
and while it is effective, once you
powder it, you need to consume...
**[03:13] Chise**
I-I'm sorry! I got carried away.
**[03:16] Chise**
I've picked up a bad habit from talking
to customers back at the village.
**[03:23] Philomela**
I get nervous quickly.
**[03:31] Philomela**
Is there anything that can help with that?
**[03:36] Chise**
Yeah, there is.
**[03:40] Chise**
Here.
**[03:43] Chise**
It's tea.
**[03:45] Chise**
German chamomile, linden, and
a dash of various other teas.
**[03:50] Chise**
Also, here.
**[03:52] Chise**
Potpourri.
**[03:53] Chise**
Are you all right with lavender?
**[03:55] Philomela**
I think so.
**[03:59] Chise**
Lavender and orange are calming.
**[04:01] Chise**
You can inhale it when you feel nervous.
**[04:03] Philomela**
Um...
**[04:07] Philomela**
Um...
**[04:09] Philomela**
What...
**[04:11] Philomela**
should I do in return?
**[04:15] Elias**
* When you do something for someone,*
* you need to receive compensation.*
**[04:19] Chise**
Shoot...
**[04:20] Chise**
I hadn't thought of what to
ask for before I started.
**[04:24] Chise**
Well...
**[04:25] Chise**
Could you give me some feedback someday?
**[04:28] Chise**
That'd be great.
**[04:31] Philomela**
Th-Thanks.
**[04:34] Chise**
You're welcome.
**[04:36] Chise**
You should rest a bit longer.
**[04:38] Chise**
Bye.
**[04:43] Chise**
Oh, I forgot to ask her name.
**[04:56] Veronica**
Philomela.
**[05:01] Veronica**
There you are.
**[05:03] Veronica**
The next class is about to start.
**[05:06] Philomela**
Miss Veronica...
**[05:08] Veronica**
Were you talking to someone?
**[05:11] Philomela**
No.
**[05:13] Veronica**
Oh?
**[05:16] Alice**
That took you a while.
**[05:18] Chise**
I couldn't find the training room.
**[05:22] Chise**
Why'd you cut your hair?
**[05:27] Alice**
I had to do it for the contract.
**[05:33] Chise**
Will-o'-the-Wisp.
**[05:35] Alice**
I don't know why it took a liking to me,
**[05:38] Alice**
but it's not an offer that
comes around often, so...
**[05:41] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
She has a strong scent of fire.
**[05:44] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
That's more than enough reason for us.
**[05:47] Alice**
So he gave me this as a
token of our agreement.
**[05:51] Alice**
The pouch is woven out of my hair.
And it put one of its coals inside.
**[05:57] Chise**
It's pretty.
**[06:00] Alice**
Yup.
**[06:01] Ruth**
You used to call me a dumb dog,
and here you are, lovestruck.
**[06:05] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
Oh, please.
**[06:06] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
I don't get easily attached like you do.
**[06:09] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
I just like hanging out with this kid.
**[06:12] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
It's fun.
**[06:13] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
And I'm just keeping an eye on her
in exchange for the good times.
**[06:17] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
In other words, it's entirely transactional.
**[06:20] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
I don't give away my life as
if it's nothing like you lot.
**[06:26] Chise**
As if it's nothing...
**[06:27] Alice**
Oh, class is about to start.
**[06:30] Alice**
You know how to get to your classroom?
**[06:32] Chise**
I do not.
**[06:36] Alice**
Here, this is it.
**[06:38] Alice**
Okay, I'm off.
**[06:39] Alice**
I'm in a different year.
**[06:42] Chise**
Thanks, Alice.
**[06:44] Alice**
You've cut back on some of
that "I'm sorry" crap, huh?
**[06:47] Alice**
I like it.
**[07:14] Chise**
It was like this when I transferred, too.
**[07:21] Chise**
Alice...
**[07:22] Alice**
I was nervous at first, too.
**[07:24] Alice**
Hey, if anyone gives you
trouble, just punch 'em.
**[07:30] Chise**
Thanks.
**[08:05] Narcisse**
Morning, everyone.
**[08:10] Narcisse**
It's the beginning of another
year at the College.
**[08:14] Narcisse**
You may have seen me about
if you're a returning student.
**[08:18] Narcisse**
I'm Narcisse Maugham.
**[08:21] Narcisse**
Call me "Professor" or "Narcissist"
or whatever you'd like.
**[08:25] Narcisse**
We'll begin with our annual overview.
**[08:29] Narcisse**
On the fundamentals of sorcery.
**[08:32] Chise**
Sorcery.
**[08:34] Narcisse**
To practice sorcery is to gain knowledge.
**[08:37] Narcisse**
To master sorcery is to master
a breadth of knowledge.
**[08:44] Narcisse**
Our ancient ancestors gazed
at the stars, read the winds,
**[08:49] Narcisse**
told the future through fire,
and searched through water.
**[08:52] Narcisse**
They traveled the world, making
sense of its countless rules,
**[08:56] Narcisse**
making use of them and
making them their own.
**[09:00] Narcisse**
Some say sorcery is born of magic,
but that's a bit of a stretch.
**[09:07] Narcisse**
Others say it was born from the songs
of the ancients as they hunted game.
**[09:12] Narcisse**
Yet others say that it came about alongside
metallurgy, medicine, and alchemy.
**[09:17] Narcisse**
And still others claim it was created by
those who harbored doubts about magic.
**[09:22] Narcisse**
The commonality to all these theories is that
it is to know the world and to manipulate it.
**[09:26] Narcisse**
Everything in the world interacts closely.
**[09:31] Narcisse**
Thus, to arrive at sorcery, you must
work to heighten all of your senses.
**[09:41] Narcisse**
Eyesight, the working of your
organs, voice and sound, touch,
**[09:48] Narcisse**
the twinkling of stars, the swaying of trees
in the wind, the interplay of light and dark,
**[09:55] Narcisse**
the dancing of flames on ores, the flow
of water, the formations of the earth...
**[10:02] Narcisse**
Observe everything. Note it down.
Test it. Experience failure.
**[10:08] Narcisse**
And strive for even the tiniest success.
**[10:11] Narcisse**
The College teaches a novice
sailor how to read the charts.
**[10:16] Narcisse**
Be agile. Be bold. Be tenacious.
**[10:20] Narcisse**
Only those who do not fear failure can
arrive at the paradise that is knowledge.
**[10:27] Narcisse**
Err, fail, and question often!
And enjoy yourselves throughout!
**[10:42] Narcisse**
Okay, that's the end of my usual greeting.
**[10:46] Narcisse**
Our first class is a bore, to be honest.
**[10:49] Narcisse**
We're studying Latin!
**[10:52] Chise**
Latin...
**[10:53] Chise**
I forgot that was a thing.
**[10:55] Narcisse**
Oh, right, we have a mage who's
a visiting student in this year.
**[11:00] Narcisse**
Chise Hatori.
**[11:01] Chise**
Yes.
**[11:03] Narcisse**
As a mage and visiting student, you will
not be required to practice sorcery.
**[11:08] Narcisse**
Instead, you will be expected to have
outstanding grades in your general courses.
**[11:13] Narcisse**
Work hard.
**[11:15] Chise**
R-Right.
**[11:18] Veronica**
Hello, Miss Mage.
**[11:20] Chise**
Uh-huh.
**[11:21] Veronica**
I'm Veronica Rickenbacker.
**[11:24] Veronica**
Nice to meet you.
**[11:26] Veronica**
If it's all right with you, would you
please show me your magic sometime?
**[11:30] Chise**
I-I think I could do that.
**[11:32] Chise**
Chise Hatori.
**[11:34] Chise**
Nice to meet you.
**[12:30] Alice**
You seem awful tired.
**[12:33] Chise**
I've got something on my mind.
**[12:36] Alice**
That sucks.
**[12:39] Elias (female)**
It's time. Let's get started.
**[12:43] Elias (female)**
We'll begin magic class.
**[12:45] Elias (female)**
We're starting with the junior
high school first-years, yes?
**[12:47] Elias (female)**
I'm Elias Ainsworth.
**[12:51] Elias (female)**
We may not have time to become
well-acquainted, but let's make the best of it.
**[12:55] May**
She doesn't seem much older than us.
**[12:57] April**
I heard mages don't look
like what they really are.
**[13:01] Chise**
Right.
**[13:03] Chise**
Sorcerers age like normal.
**[13:06] Chise**
What about me?
**[13:08] Alice**
I've always wondered...
**[13:10] Alice**
Whose face is that, anyway?
**[13:12] Chise**
I don't know...
**[13:14] Chise**
I've been meaning to ask at some point.
**[13:19] Chise**
Renfred-san.
**[13:21] Chise**
Is he here to keep an eye on Alice?
**[13:24] Chise**
Huh?
**[13:25] Chise**
Why are you here, Alice?
**[13:27] Alice**
Dunno.
**[13:29] Alice**
I got called here.
**[13:30] Elias (female)**
Magic is said to require more
aptitude than sorcery does.
**[13:35] Elias (female)**
Most of that aptitude comes from
your compatibility with *them*.
**[13:39] Elias (female)**
Do they like you?
**[13:40] Elias (female)**
Do they hate you?
**[13:42] Elias (female)**
Can you negotiate with them?
**[13:44] Elias (female)**
It also becomes important to find
a familiar who is cooperative.
**[13:49] Elias (female)**
In practical terms, magic is a joint effort.
**[13:54] Elias (female)**
Mages take in magic power
from their surroundings.
**[13:57] Elias (female)**
Sorcerers create magic
power within themselves.
**[14:01] Chise**
Wow... he's being a proper teacher.
**[14:04] Elias (female)**
Both involve wielding magic power,
**[14:08] Elias (female)**
so a sorcerer can use magic
as long as they can negotiate.
**[14:12] Elias (female)**
In theory, at least.
**[14:14] Elias (female)**
But what's important is to try to
understand them and their rules.
**[14:20] Elias (female)**
You mustn't leave them
to do everything for you.
**[14:23] Elias (female)**
They aren't all-powerful.
**[14:25] Elias (female)**
Though it may be difficult to
understand them at the start.
**[14:30] Elias (female)**
And so...
**[14:36] Elias (female)**
I've asked for the cooperation of
the "neighbors" in the College.
**[14:42] Elias (female)**
It'll make more sense when
you try it yourself.
**[14:46] Elias (female)**
Listen carefully.
**[14:47] Elias (female)**
Do *not* do anything to upset them.
**[14:50] Elias (female)**
Exercise caution when dealing
with those that aren't human.
**[14:55] Elias (female)**
We'll start simply today, by lighting
a candle and then blowing it out.
**[15:00] Elias (female)**
If you have a hard time communicating with
them, you're free to use your words.
**[15:05] Elias (female)**
The intensity of the flame, the time
for which you allow it to burn...
**[15:09] Elias (female)**
Make it as concise as you can.
**[15:11] Elias (female)**
Swayne, Hatori, please demonstrate.
**[15:18] Alice**
I've never used magic before!
**[15:20] Chise**
I've never done it in front
of so many people!
**[15:25] Alice**
Screw it, let's go.
**[15:28] Chise**
Okay.
**[15:35] May**
Swayne? Do you remember a Swayne?
**[15:37] April**
I heard a fairy became a sorcerer's
familiar for the first time in decades.
**[15:42] Kevin**
I heard she can't even
get a bird to fly well.
**[15:45] Kevin**
My brother told me.
**[15:46] Kevin**
Wonder what food she
tried to train it with.
**[15:49] Kevin**
Hot!
**[15:50] Will o' Wisp**
Too bad there's no swamp here.
**[15:54] Alice**
Enough, brother.
**[15:56] Alice**
You'll make things worse.
**[16:23] Alice**
What...
**[16:25] Elias (female)**
Too extreme.
**[16:27] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
You were kinda pissed, weren't you?
**[16:28] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
I expressed it for you.
**[16:31] Alice**
Damn it...
**[16:33] Elias (female)**
Hatori, please.
**[16:35] Chise**
Right.
**[16:45] Chise**
Hello.
**[16:47] Chise**
Ready?
**[16:51] Chise**
It's a different color than the
salamander in our fireplace.
**[17:01] Chise**
Set it alight with your tongue of fire.
**[17:03] Chise**
Set it alight until I give the sign.
**[17:07] Chise**
In the color of the autumn
sun over fields of wheat.
**[17:27] Chise**
Thanks.
**[17:28] Chise**
That's enough.
**[17:33] Elias (female)**
Well done.
**[17:35] Elias (female)**
I've prepared several candles.
**[17:38] Elias (female)**
Try it for yourselves.
**[17:40] Elias (female)**
But if they refuse, you will give up.
**[17:44] Elias (female)**
You are aspiring sorcerers.
**[17:46] Elias (female)**
You will lose nothing by
being unable to use magic.
**[17:50] Elias (female)**
Renfred, please keep an eye on them.
**[17:57] Rian**
Hello, beautiful person.
**[18:04] Fire Fairy B**
Thank you, handsome boy.
**[18:06] Fire Fairy B**
But I don't want to work with you.
**[18:08] Fire Fairy B**
I'm sorry.
**[18:10] Fire Fairy B**
You smell rusty.
**[18:15] Rian**
All right.
**[18:21] Elias (female)**
It's friendly to her.
**[18:22] Elias (female)**
She shows promise.
**[18:30] May**
Please and thank you!
**[18:33] May**
Hey!
**[18:34] May**
Why not?!
**[18:35] May**
What don't you like about me?
**[18:37] April**
Stop, Brother.
**[18:39] May**
Can't you help a guy out?!
**[18:41] May**
You're just a lizard, aren't you?
**[18:52] Chise**
Elias!
**[18:53] April**
May!
**[18:56] Elias**
That's why I told you to give up.
**[19:20] Elias**
Chise, help the salamander calm down, please.
**[19:23] Chise**
Okay.
**[19:29] Sophia**
P-Professor?
**[19:32] Elias**
I've been putting on that appearance to
avoid trouble, but this is how I normally look.
**[19:41] Renfred**
You're all right, yes?
**[19:42] Renfred**
Now you understand why it's important
to heed your seniors' warnings.
**[19:45] Renfred**
Be careful.
**[19:47] Elias**
You've now seen what happens
when you anger them.
**[19:52] Elias**
There are countless mages
who've been eaten.
**[19:57] Elias**
Raise your hands if you
believe you have aptitude.
**[20:03] Elias**
I suggest everyone else quit now.
**[20:07] Elias**
You've seen why.
**[20:09] Elias**
Now that you know how dangerous
magic is, we'll call it a day.
**[20:13] Elias**
If you'd like to learn more,
I'll see you at the next class.
**[20:20] Roy**
Scary...
**[20:21] Roy**
Is he a muryan, too, like Miss Alexandra?
**[20:26] Kevin**
You mean one of those people who was
transfigured from experimenting too much?
**[20:29] Kevin**
I'm amazed he's alive despite being bone.
**[20:32] Kevin**
He must be about level three.
**[20:34] Sophia**
I'm sure it's his magic.
**[20:35] Sophia**
I never knew there were
mages who become muryans.
**[20:40] Sophia**
Beatrice?
**[20:42] Beatrice**
Such a fine figure...
**[20:45] Alice**
That was more exhausting
than a good sprint.
**[20:48] Chise**
No kidding.
**[20:49] Alice**
I bet he's getting an earful from Master.
**[20:53] Chise**
He got dragged off. Something
about a lack of safety precautions.
**[20:59] Alice**
This is the floor where
the instructors gather.
**[21:03] Chise**
I wonder where Elias is getting lectured.
**[21:11] Chise**
He looks familiar.
**[21:13] Chise**
Didn't I see him earlier?
**[21:15] Rian**
Hatori.
**[21:22] Chise**
Um...
**[21:23] Chise**
Sorry...
**[21:24] Rian**
It's our first day, and we
haven't said hi. It's fine.
**[21:28] Rian**
Rian Scrimgeour.
**[21:30] Rian**
Call me Rian.
**[21:32] Chise**
Call me Chise, then.
**[21:35] Rian & Chise**
Nice to meet you.
**[21:38] Chise**
I don't feel too tense around
him for some reason.
**[21:42] Rian**
I'll get right to it...
**[21:45] Chise**
Yes?
**[21:46] Rian**
As you're a mage, would you
please teach me magic?
**[21:52] Chise**
Huh?

**[00:10] Tory**
I overslept.
**[00:12] Tory**
We finally have a magic class...
**[00:18] Tory**
And I think I slept through it.
**[00:32] Rian**
As you're a mage,
**[00:36] Rian**
would you please teach me magic?
**[02:12] Tory**
Rian?
**[02:15] Chise**
Tory-san.
**[02:16] Tory**
Hey, it's Chise.
**[02:19] Tory**
Have you gotten used to school yet?
**[02:21] Chise**
Yes, I'm managing.
**[02:24] Chise**
Um, I'd like to see Elias.
**[02:28] Chise**
Do you know which room he's in?
**[02:33] Rian**
I saw Mr. Ainsworth earlier.
**[02:37] Rian**
He was getting dragged away.
**[02:42] Rian**
Are you acquainted?
**[02:44] Chise**
Yes.
**[02:45] Chise**
He's my... teacher.
**[02:49] Chise**
Teacher?
**[02:51] Tory**
Just like us.
**[02:54] Tory**
Though, I'm more his guardian
than I am his teacher.
**[02:59] Rian**
I'm his apprentice.
**[03:01] Chise**
I see.
**[03:03] Chise**
That's why you asked about magic—
**[03:04] Rian**
They...
**[03:06] Rian**
They went this way.
**[03:08] Rian**
I'll take you to them.
**[03:16] Chise**
Thanks.
**[03:17] Chise**
But weren't you here to see Tory-san?
**[03:20] Rian**
Only to wake him up.
**[03:22] Tory**
Chise, Alice.
**[03:25] Tory**
Be good to him, will you?
**[03:28] Tory**
I think you guys would be quite compatible.
**[03:30] Chise & Alice**
Right.
**[03:46] Rian**
So you're Alice Swayne, huh?
**[03:49] Alice**
Huh?
**[03:49] Rian**
I've heard rumors about your familiar.
**[03:54] Alice**
There's no telling how a rumor spreads.
**[03:57] Chise**
Rumors are scary.
**[04:00] Rian**
So, Swayne...
**[04:04] Rian**
You also have the foundations
needed to use magic.
**[04:08] Rian**
I'd like to observe, if you don't mind.
**[04:11] Alice**
Sure.
**[04:12] Alice**
I have no intention of
becoming a mage, though.
**[04:15] Alice**
I'm becoming my master's bodyguard.
**[04:21] Will-'O-Wisp**
This kid isn't cut out to be a mage.
**[04:24] Ruth**
You're right.
**[04:28] Will-'O-Wisp**
She's not one to go along with the rules.
**[04:32] Will-'O-Wisp**
Mages are, you could say...
**[04:36] Will-'O-Wisp**
They're the dimwits who
get caught up in rules.
**[04:41] Chise**
Rules...
**[04:44] Alice**
Hey!
**[04:47] Alice**
Damn it.
**[04:48] Alice**
What's wrong with you?
**[04:51] Will-'O-Wisp**
I couldn't help myself.
**[04:57] Rian**
A fairy?
**[05:01] Will-'O-Wisp**
You're no good.
**[05:03] Will-'O-Wisp**
Your strength smells of rust.
**[05:07] Rian**
I see.
**[05:09] Rian**
That's unfortunate.
**[05:11] Chise**
Why do you want to use magic?
**[05:16] Rian**
There's someone I want to make happy.
**[05:22] Renfred**
Your job is to protect the students!
**[05:27] Renfred**
From now on, you will make
safety your *top* priority!
**[05:30] Elias**
I got it.
**[05:32] Elias**
Please stop shouting.
**[05:35] Narcisse**
I've never seen Renfred so furious.
**[05:39] Renfred**
Narcisse, why are you here?
**[05:42] Narcisse**
You were so intense, I had to spectate.
**[05:46] Narcisse**
Besides, I'm not the only
one in the audience.
**[05:50] Narcisse**
See?
**[05:53] Elias**
Chise.
**[05:54] Renfred**
Alice.
**[05:58] Alice**
Master!
**[05:59] Renfred**
Do you feel any different
after using magic?
**[06:02] Chise**
Elias.
**[06:02] Alice**
I'm hungry as hell.
**[06:03] Elias**
That was more exhausting
than when you scold me.
**[06:03] Renfred**
Ah, the same reaction as
when you used sorcery.
**[06:06] Chise**
There, there.
**[06:11] Chise**
U-Um... Can I help you?
**[06:14] Narcisse**
I wasn't sure what to expect.
**[06:20] Narcisse**
But hey, you're just a normal girl.
**[06:24] Narcisse**
Welcome to the College.
**[06:26] Narcisse**
If you're interested in the language arts,
you're always free to talk to me.
**[06:33] Chise**
Thank you.
**[06:36] Narcisse**
I look forward to working with
you, too, my new colleague.
**[06:40] Elias**
Likewise.
**[06:50] Narcisse**
Goodness, it's late.
**[06:51] Narcisse**
My skin needs plenty of beauty rest!
**[06:54] Narcisse**
Good night!
**[06:55] Renfred**
Already?!
**[06:57] Narcisse**
Oh, you two, there, have you
been to the cafeteria, yet?
**[07:00] Narcisse**
It's nothing fancy, but there's
plenty to eat and lots of variety.
**[07:03] Narcisse**
Gotta stay well-fed.
**[07:05] Chise**
The cafeteria...
**[07:06] Rian**
I'll show you around.
**[07:08] Chise**
Thanks.
**[07:11] Chise**
What about you two, Alice?
**[07:12] Alice**
We'll eat at home.
**[07:15] Alice**
We haven't been back in a while.
**[07:19] Alice**
What?
**[07:20] Rian**
It's just that I've heard you have a habit
of letting your fists talk for you.
**[07:23] Alice**
Huh?!
**[07:24] Chise**
Did you do it again?
**[07:26] Alice**
I mean, yeah, but I didn't lose!
**[07:29] Rian**
So you did...
**[07:29] Alice**
It's *their* fault for talking behind my back!
**[07:39] Narcisse**
Gregory?
**[07:41] Gregory**
How is that new kid?
**[07:43] Narcisse**
She's normal.
**[07:44] Narcisse**
No different from the other students.
**[07:46] Narcisse**
She's not the kind of person who
**[07:48] Narcisse**
would be a detriment to the College—
or rather, to our principal.
**[07:55] Narcisse**
Are you happy now?
**[08:00] Gregory**
Inform me if you notice anything unusual.
**[08:03] Gregory**
She isn't the only oddball this year.
**[08:05] Gregory**
We must maintain the balance of power.
**[08:14] Gregory**
The vice principal never gets a break, huh?
**[08:23] Rian**
This is the cafeteria.
**[08:25] Rian**
They serve food from 6 AM to 10 PM.
**[08:29] Rian**
Drinks are self-serve, 24 hours a day.
**[08:33] Rian**
You can take whatever you want,
and as much as you want.
**[08:37] Rian**
There aren't really any
seating rules, but—
**[08:40] Beatrice**
Mr. Ainsworth!
**[08:42] Beatrice**
There's so much I want to ask you.
**[08:45] Elias**
R-Really, now?
**[08:48] Beatrice**
You're Chise, aren't you?
**[08:51] Beatrice**
We were just eating together.
**[08:53] Beatrice**
Wanna join us?
**[08:55] Chise**
S-Sure. I'd like that.
**[08:57] Beatrice**
Well, we'll be waiting over there.
**[09:06] Beatrice**
We haven't done our
introductions yet, have we?
**[09:10] Beatrice**
I'm Beatrice Byrne.
**[09:12] Sofia**
Sofia Healey.
**[09:14] Isaac**
Isaac Farrar.
**[09:16] Kevin**
Kevin Forbes.
**[09:18] Martin**
Martin Chandler.
**[09:19] Jasmine**
Jasmine St. George.
**[09:21] Violet**
Violet St. George.
**[09:23] Jasmine & Violet**
We're twins.
**[09:26] Chise**
Um...
**[09:27] Chise**
Violet's male, right?
**[09:29] Jasmine & Violet**
Bingo!
**[09:31] Jasmine & Violet**
Huh?
**[09:32] Jasmine & Violet**
How could she tell, though?
**[09:34] Chise**
My dragon's sense of smell
is surprisingly strong.
**[09:37] Lazarus**
Lazarus McGovern.
**[09:39] Roy**
Roy Truman.
**[09:41] Zoe**
Lastly, I'm Zoe Ivy.
**[09:44] Zoe**
I just started this year, too.
**[09:46] Zoe**
Nice to meet you.
**[09:48] Chise**
Nice to meet you.
**[09:50] Chise**
Nice to meet the rest of you, too.
**[09:52] All**
Nice to meet you.
**[09:55] Lazarus**
This is mine.
**[09:56] Roy**
No, man, I brought this here.
**[09:57] Lazarus**
It's mine!
**[09:59] Sofia**
Would you like one?
**[10:01] Chise**
Thank you.
**[10:03] Roy**
It's mine!
**[10:04] Lazarus**
Mine, damn it!
**[10:05] Kevin**
H-Hey, Sofia, I'm just wondering...
**[10:07] Kevin**
Could you pass the pepper?
**[10:09] Martin**
Oh.
**[10:10] Martin**
Here.
**[10:11] Kevin**
Why'd *you* have to get it for me?!
**[10:13] Isaac**
If there's anything you
want to know, just ask.
**[10:16] Zoe**
Really? Thank—
**[10:17] Student**
Dude!
**[10:18] Zoe**
S-Sorry!
**[10:20] Jasmine**
Violet, you like these, don't you?
**[10:22] Jasmine**
Have them.
**[10:23] Violet**
Really?
**[10:24] Violet**
In that case...
**[10:26] Beatrice**
Sorry everyone's so noisy.
**[10:29] Beatrice**
They all just got here from
the primary division.
**[10:31] Chise**
I see.
**[10:33] Chise**
You're all close, huh?
**[10:35] Guy**
Is it good?
**[10:38] Martin**
What's your problem? Why would you say that?
**[10:41] Chise**
Um...
**[10:42] Chise**
What about Lucy?
**[10:44] Sofia**
Lucy?
**[10:45] Sofia**
You know her?
**[10:46] Chise**
Yeah.
**[10:47] Chise**
She's my roommate.
**[10:49] Sofia**
Huh.
**[10:52] Sofia**
She's always like that.
**[10:54] Sofia**
Don't mind her.
**[10:56] Beatrice**
I wonder where the others are—
**[10:57] Beatrice**
Oh, speaking of them, there they are.
**[11:02] Beatrice**
That's Veronica.
**[11:04] Beatrice**
Behind her are April and May Atwood.
**[11:08] Beatrice**
And then there's Philomela Sergeant.
**[11:10] Beatrice**
Those four are always together.
**[11:14] Chise**
Her name's Philomela, huh?
**[11:18] Rian**
So, I heard most mages don't stay
in one place very long these days.
**[11:23] Rian**
Whereabouts are you?
**[11:25] Chise**
Out west.
**[11:27] Chise**
Way in the countryside.
**[11:28] Beatrice**
Wow, that's something you never see.
**[11:30] Beatrice**
Rian's hitting on someone.
**[11:32] Rian**
I don't remember hitting on her.
**[11:34] Beatrice**
I'm just teasing.
**[11:35] Jasmine & Violet**
Sir!
**[11:37] Jasmine**
Are you going to stop
using that other form?
**[11:40] Violet**
What kind of experiment
made your head like that?
**[11:44] Beatrice**
Hey, no fair!
**[11:46] Beatrice**
Sir, would you please be my model?
**[11:50] Elias**
Model?
**[11:51] Violet**
May I touch your head?
**[11:52] Beatrice**
The shape!
**[11:53] Violet**
Hey!
**[12:01] Isaac**
Zoe? What's wrong?
**[12:04] Zoe**
Oh, nothing, I just haven't had a meal
with so many people before.
**[12:09] Zoe**
I'm a little nervous, that's all.
**[12:11] Zoe**
I'm done eating, so I'll see you guys later.
**[12:17] Elias**
Chise.
**[12:19] Elias**
Are you all right?
**[12:20] Chise**
I'm fine.
**[12:23] Chise**
That wasn't malice.
**[12:26] Chise**
But...
**[12:32] Lucy**
What's the point of becoming friends?
**[12:35] Lucy**
We're all going to be enemies anyway.
**[12:38] Lucy**
I pity them.
**[12:48] Zoe**
What's wrong with those two?
**[12:54] Zoe**
They aren't human.
**[13:13] Adolf**
One hour time difference, so...
**[13:18] Adolf**
Echos.
**[13:21] Adolf**
Lindel?
**[13:22] Adolf**
Lindel!
**[13:25] Lindel**
Adolf.
**[13:27] Lindel**
What is it?
**[13:28] Adolf**
The sun's down. I thought
you'd be asleep, old man.
**[13:33] Lindel**
Working so late?
**[13:35] Lindel**
You're quite diligent, young man.
**[13:38] Lindel**
Now, did you need something from me?
**[13:40] Adolf**
Elias Ainsworth has become
an instructor at the College.
**[13:45] Lindel**
Ah, I'm aware.
**[13:47] Lindel**
To think that young boy's
become an instructor...
**[13:51] Adolf**
And there's something I'd like
to ask you regarding that.
**[13:58] Adolf**
Has he ever shown an intent to
harm another in front of you?
**[14:03] Adolf**
If he has, I'd like to hear
about the circumstances.
**[14:07] Lindel**
That makes it sound like
he's already done something.
**[14:10] Adolf**
No.
**[14:11] Adolf**
It's just been on my mind.
**[14:16] Lindel**
Very well.
**[14:18] Lindel**
Adolf, do you know why they
call him Pilum Muralis?
**[14:42] Rahab**
That was a good nap!
**[14:47] Rahab**
What's this?
**[15:03] Elias**
You're tired?
**[15:05] Chise**
Bingo.
**[15:08] Elias**
So much has happened this week.
**[15:11] Ruth**
You haven't been to school
in over a year and a half.
**[15:15] Chise**
I talked a lot, went to class,
had an examination...
**[15:19] Chise**
I'm a bit worn out.
**[15:21] Elias**
Is it unbearable?
**[15:22] Chise**
No.
**[15:24] Chise**
I've found something I want to do.
**[15:26] Chise**
It's a lot of work, but I enjoy it.
**[15:29] Chise**
Even though a few things are bothering me...
**[15:36] Chise**
What about you?
**[15:38] Elias**
Extremely tired.
**[15:42] Elias**
And being at the College,
there's something...
**[15:49] Elias**
It's odd, I feel an urge to
rub what's on my inside.
**[15:52] Elias**
An odd sensation.
**[15:54] Chise**
Elias-isms are pretty obscure.
**[16:00] Chise**
What's the matter?
**[16:03] Elias**
I figured I'd try lying on
the ground like you, but...
**[16:08] Chise**
Is it your horns?
**[16:10] Elias**
Yeah.
**[16:14] Chise**
Elias, could you come
over here for a second?
**[16:27] Elias**
This might be the first time
I've lied down facing the sky.
**[16:48] Chise**
Silver.
**[16:49] Chise**
What is it?
**[16:52] Chise**
Pumpkin scissors?
**[16:55] Chise**
Right.
**[16:56] Chise**
It's about time.
**[16:58] Ruth**
Shall we go harvest them?
**[17:06] Chise**
Is it all right if we rest a little longer?
**[17:18] Chise**
Are these the types we use on Halloween?
**[17:22] Elias**
Yes.
**[17:23] Elias**
I believe the immigrants who went
to America first used pumpkins as lanterns.
**[17:29] Elias**
Until then, turnips were carved instead.
**[17:32] Chise**
Turnips?
**[17:36] Elias**
Halloween used to be known
as the Samhain festival.
**[17:41] Elias**
The vibrant summer ends, and the
darkness of the winter takes over.
**[17:45] Elias**
The gods of winter and the spirits of the
dead creep in from the other side at night.
**[17:50] Elias**
They lit Samhain bonfires to invite
the spirits of good ancestors.
**[17:57] Elias**
Though the tradition's been
long gone for quite some time.
**[18:02] Chise**
Those gods still exist, though, right?
**[18:07] Elias**
I don't know if it's right
to call that an existence.
**[18:12] Elias**
Long, long ago, they must have been
revered and worshiped for their powers.
**[18:22] Elias**
But now, they're a mere facet of
the seasons and of human activities.
**[18:27] Elias**
All that remains of them in
this world is a small remnant.
**[18:31] Elias**
And like bubbles in a river,
they pass someone by.
**[18:39] Chise**
Why did that happen to them?
**[18:42] Elias**
I don't know.
**[18:44] Elias**
Perhaps the progression of science has given
humanity fewer reasons to fear the world.
**[18:52] Elias**
Say...
**[18:54] Elias**
We've planted some turnips.
**[18:56] Elias**
They should be ready for harvest
just around Halloween.
**[19:00] Chise**
Shall we try making turnip lanterns?
**[19:04] Chise**
I'll go wash this at the river, then.
**[19:07] Elias**
Good.
**[19:08] Elias**
We'll join you as soon as
we're done harvesting.
**[19:22] Chise**
I've done it again.
**[19:29] Chise**
I still can't get used to it.
**[19:34] Joseph**
It hurts, doesn't it?
**[19:38] Chise**
Joseph.
**[19:41] Chise**
Morning.
**[19:42] Joseph**
Morning.
**[19:47] Chise**
Want this?
**[19:48] Joseph**
Would you at least cook it first?
**[19:52] Joseph**
Besides, I don't eat anything,
nor do I expel anything.
**[19:56] Joseph**
Not much more than water.
**[19:58] Chise**
I know.
**[20:01] Joseph**
I'm sure you do.
**[20:06] Joseph**
You aren't getting away anymore,
even if I pulled out that eyeball.
**[20:18] Chise**
I'll be borrowing it for a little longer.
**[20:25] Joseph**
I'm getting annoyed. I'm going to sleep.
**[20:29] Chise**
Sleep well.
**[20:34] Joseph**
I still haven't gotten your answer.
**[20:41] Chise**
Yeah.
**[20:43] Ruth**
Chise.
**[20:46] Ruth**
You have a guest.
**[20:52] Chise**
Stella.
**[20:56] Stella**
Chise!
**[20:58] Chise**
Stella...
**[21:00] Chise**
Why?
**[21:02] Stella**
What do you mean, "Why?"
**[21:03] Stella**
I texted you saying
I'd come by this weekend!
**[21:07] Chise**
I forgot...
**[21:10] Stella**
Yeah, you don't really check
your phone too often.
**[21:14] Stella**
And you seem to be pretty busy
with your secret school.
**[21:16] Chise**
Sorry.
**[21:17] Chise**
Really, I am.
**[21:22] Stella**
What?
**[21:26] Chise**
U-Uhm...
**[21:27] Elias**
You two go on home.
**[21:30] Elias**
I'll wash the rest myself.
**[21:34] Chise**
Th-Thank you.
**[21:46] Elias**
Something seems different from that day.
**[21:49] Elias**
What's changed?
**[21:51] Elias**
The circumstances?
**[21:53] Elias**
Or...
**[21:55] Stella**
Where'd you get that?
**[21:58] Chise**
Oh, this?
**[22:00] Chise**
I'm holding on to it for Elias.
**[22:03] Stella**
Yeah?
**[22:10] Stella**
Chise?!
**[22:11] Stella**
Ruth?!
**[22:12] Stella**
Hey, where'd you guys go?!
**[22:20] Chise**
Where are we?

**[00:05] Stella**
Where'd you get that?
**[00:07] Stella**
Isn't that the same one Elias has?
**[00:09] Chise**
I'm holding on to it for Elias.
**[00:19] Chise**
Ruth?
**[00:22] Chise**
The sea.
**[00:23] Ruth**
Sea...
**[00:34] Chise**
This all seems familiar.
**[00:38] Chise**
Huh?
**[00:38] Chise**
Stella?
**[00:39] Chise**
Where's Stella?
**[00:40] Ruth**
I don't sense her nearby.
**[00:44] Rahab**
Ah, you're here.
**[00:49] Rahab**
It's been a while since
I've summoned anyone.
**[00:51] Rahab**
I wasn't sure I did it right.
**[00:54] Rahab**
So I'm glad you made it.
**[00:57] Chise**
Who are...
**[00:59] Rahab**
Hello, young lady.
**[01:01] Rahab**
My name is Rahab.
**[01:03] Rahab**
Mage, sorcerer, demon of the sea...
**[01:06] Rahab**
Call me whatever you'd like.
**[01:08] Chise**
Um, I had a friend with me.
**[01:11] Rahab**
Don't worry.
**[01:12] Rahab**
She'll merely be lost in
the fog for a brief time.
**[01:18] Rahab**
It seems to be authentic.
**[01:21] Rahab**
I sensed someone else wearing
the necktie I'd given him.
**[01:26] Rahab**
I had my doubts, but...
**[01:29] Rahab**
Glad to see he's doing well.
**[01:31] Rahab**
And he's changed quite a bit, too.
**[01:37] Chise**
Are you Lindel-san's master, by chance?
**[01:40] Rahab**
Lindel?!
**[01:41] Rahab**
You've met Lindel, too?
**[01:43] Rahab**
Fantastic!
**[01:44] Rahab**
Is he doing well?
**[01:46] Chise**
Uh, yes.
**[01:47] Rahab**
So, who might you be to Elias?
**[03:32] Angelica**
Hey.
**[03:33] Angelica**
I heard you've started your new life.
**[03:36] Angelica**
I figured you'd have a lot of expenses,
**[03:38] Angelica**
so I brought this to celebrate.
**[03:40] Elias**
Thanks.
**[03:42] Angelica**
Where's Chise?
**[03:43] Elias**
She's with Stella right now.
**[03:45] Elias**
Shall I call her?
**[03:46] Angelica**
No, it's fine.
**[03:48] Angelica**
She needs her quality time.
**[03:52] Elias**
I see.
**[03:54] Angelica**
I'm glad she's doing better.
**[03:57] Elias**
Yeah.
**[04:00] Angelica**
She gave you that necktie
for Christmas, didn't she?
**[04:05] Elias**
Yeah.
**[04:06] Angelica**
Where's yours?
**[04:07] Elias**
Chise has it right now.
**[04:09] Angelica**
I see, I see.
**[04:12] Angelica**
I remember begging you for it way back when.
**[04:17] Elias**
I thought I wouldn't mind letting
it go, but I couldn't do it.
**[04:24] Angelica**
So why'd you give it to Chise?
**[04:30] Chise**
Um...
**[04:31] Chise**
He's teaching me magic.
**[04:33] Chise**
I'm his apprentice.
**[04:35] Rahab**
You seemed a lot closer than just that.
**[04:38] Chise**
Ah, um... well...
**[04:41] Ruth**
Chise's teaching him about being human.
**[04:44] Rahab**
About being human?
**[04:46] Ruth**
His bride.
**[04:49] Rahab**
Bride?
**[04:54] Rahab**
Was that his idea?
**[04:57] Chise**
Er, yes.
**[04:59] Rahab**
Oh, dear...
**[05:03] Chise**
Um...
**[05:06] Rahab**
Would you like to come
inside to talk some more?
**[05:09] Rahab**
I'll need to thank you for
being his student and teacher.
**[05:13] Chise**
I'd love to.
**[05:15] Chise**
But...
**[05:16] Rahab**
You needn't worry about time.
**[05:19] Rahab**
That's the kind of place this is.
**[05:22] Rahab**
Still, to think you're teaching him
about being human... my goodness.
**[05:27] Rahab**
May I ask your name?
**[05:30] Rahab**
I'm in the mood to call
someone by their name.
**[05:35] Rahab**
Have a seat wherever you'd like.
**[05:37] Rahab**
Is coffee all right?
**[05:39] Chise**
Yes.
**[05:58] Chise**
Sea breeze, damp rocks, old
wood, and the scent of fire.
**[06:08] Rahab**
I'm sorry, I don't have any milk.
**[06:11] Ruth**
I'm not *that* much of a dog.
**[06:13] Rahab**
All right.
**[06:21] Chise**
It's odd...
**[06:23] Chise**
I'm sure this is our first
time meeting, and yet...
**[06:27] Rahab**
Here you are.
**[06:29] Chise**
Thank you.
**[06:31] Rahab**
Make yourself at home.
**[06:33] Rahab**
Just pretend you're visiting
your grandma way back home.
**[06:37] Rahab**
Okay?
**[06:40] Chise**
You do resemble them.
**[06:41] Rahab**
Resemble whom?
**[06:44] Chise**
Lindel-san and Elias.
**[06:47] Rahab**
I suppose it's true that you become
like the company you keep.
**[06:50] Rahab**
Those two came here when
they were only this tall.
**[06:54] Chise**
Elias, too?
**[06:57] Rahab**
Yeah.
**[06:58] Rahab**
He lived here for a while.
**[07:01] Chise**
I thought he'd been traveling right
after he parted ways with Lindel-san.
**[07:07] Rahab**
This place is disconnected from
everywhere and everywhen.
**[07:11] Rahab**
And yet, it's joined with every place.
**[07:14] Rahab**
I was sure we'd meet again...
**[07:20] Rahab**
He arrived...
**[07:23] Rahab**
with his shoulders slouched, as though
he'd been completely worn down.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Rahab**
Elias.
**[07:30] (Flashback) Rahab**
I thought you were with Lindel.
**[07:33] (Flashback) Elias**
Teach me, Rahab...
**[07:36] (Flashback) Elias**
There's so much I don't know.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Elias**
There are too many humans.
**[07:42] (Flashback) Elias**
They're all the same, yet far too different.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Elias**
I don't know what to do.
**[07:49] (Flashback) Elias**
I don't know who to imitate.
**[07:53] (Flashback) Rahab**
Elias...
**[07:55] (Flashback) Elias**
So I want to follow your lead.
**[07:58] (Flashback) Elias**
I'm certain that if I copy you,
I'll do well among the humans.
**[08:11] (Flashback) Rahab**
You like humans, don't you, Elias?
**[08:16] (Flashback) Elias**
I don't know.
**[08:17] (Flashback) Elias**
But something in my body is
telling me that I want to know.
**[08:24] (Flashback) Elias**
I think.
**[08:27] Rahab**
For a few years, or maybe a few decades,
Elias lived here and imitated me.
**[08:33] Rahab**
The way I ate, the way I walked, the way I slept,
**[08:37] Rahab**
the way I read, the way I plowed the fields,
the I interacted with things...
**[08:44] Rahab**
But there were some things
I couldn't let him copy.
**[08:49] (Flashback) Elias**
Rahab.
**[08:51] (Flashback) Elias**
How do you smile or get angry?
**[08:55] (Flashback) Elias**
Do you need muscles to do it?
**[08:57] (Flashback) Rahab**
You don't need flesh to move.
**[08:59] (Flashback) Rahab**
If you enjoy an experience,
that counts as smiling.
**[09:02] (Flashback) Elias**
Enjoyment...
**[09:05] (Flashback) Elias**
What is enjoyment?
**[09:10] Rahab**
And one day, he left for good.
**[09:18] Rahab**
I haven't seen him since.
**[09:21] Rahab**
I'm glad he's doing well.
**[09:24] Chise**
That's why Elias is so much like you.
**[09:28] Rahab**
I couldn't even teach him to smile, though.
**[09:32] Rahab**
I'm a failure as a teacher.
**[09:36] Rahab**
I don't remember when,
but I taught him about family.
**[09:41] Rahab**
At the time, I taught him that a family is
a collection of people that help one another.
**[09:47] (Flashback) Elias**
Grandfather, grandmother.
**[09:49] (Flashback) Elias**
Father, mother.
**[09:51] (Flashback) Elias**
Child.
**[09:52] (Flashback) Rahab**
This relationship makes them cousins.
**[09:55] (Flashback) Elias**
And this?
**[09:56] (Flashback) Rahab**
A bride.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Elias**
A bride?
**[09:59] (Flashback) Elias**
What does that relationship entail?
**[10:03] (Flashback) Rahab**
It's... someone you want to be with?
**[10:06] (Flashback) Elias**
Someone you want to be with?
**[10:08] (Flashback) Elias**
Someone you want by your side.
**[10:10] (Flashback) Elias**
Someone you think you should stay with.
**[10:12] (Flashback) Rahab**
It's not just brides, either.
**[10:14] (Flashback) Rahab**
They may be a wife, a spouse, a husband...
**[10:18] (Flashback) Rahab**
They're a partner.
**[10:21] (Flashback) Elias**
A partner.
**[10:22] (Flashback) Elias**
Someone you want to be with.
**[10:25] (Flashback) Elias**
Do you mean someone to live with?
**[10:28] (Flashback) Rahab**
That's very literal, but you could say that.
**[10:31] (Flashback) Elias**
Are you my bride?
**[10:33] (Flashback) Rahab**
Most certainly not.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Rahab**
You'll have to find a bride just for you.
**[10:41] (Flashback) Rahab**
Got it?
**[10:43] (Flashback) Elias**
Okay.
**[10:46] Rahab**
I mean...
**[10:47] Rahab**
I tried my best to explain, I swear.
**[10:52] Chise**
I get it.
**[10:53] Chise**
I greatly appreciate your effort.
**[10:56] Rahab**
Thank you.
**[10:58] Chise**
I see...
**[11:00] Chise**
So that's what that was about.
**[11:03] Rahab**
You must be disappointed.
**[11:06] Rahab**
His idea of a bride might be different
from what you have in mind.
**[11:12] Rahab**
If that's the case, it's my fault.
**[11:18] Elias**
When Chise was asleep with her
injuries after fighting Joseph,
**[11:24] Elias**
I couldn't stop wondering...
**[11:26] Elias**
Why does Chise continue to act
even when it brings her harm?
**[11:31] Angelica**
You're worried.
**[11:33] Elias**
I don't want her to get hurt.
**[11:36] Elias**
At first, I was content as
long as she didn't die.
**[11:41] Elias**
Now, even the slightest cut or
the mildest illness upsets me.
**[11:47] Elias**
Ruth said once that nothing
is important to Chise.
**[11:52] Elias**
That even if Chise herself values something,
**[11:56] Elias**
she doesn't expect to be
valued the same way herself.
**[12:00] Elias**
So when she's hurt, she doesn't
consider that someone else
**[12:04] Elias**
might also be hurt just by
seeing her that way.
**[12:06] Elias**
Nor does she have any
intent of sharing her pain.
**[12:09] Elias**
She believes her pain is her own to suffer.
**[12:15] Elias**
So...
**[12:17] (Flashback) Elias**
Chise.
**[12:19] (Flashback) Elias**
Could you wear this?
**[12:22] (Flashback) Chise**
This is...
**[12:23] (Flashback) Elias**
I can't have it break.
**[12:25] (Flashback) Elias**
So I'd like you to hold on to it.
**[12:27] (Flashback) Chise**
But if it's important to you,
I shouldn't be the one holding onto it—
**[12:34] (Flashback) Elias**
You won't go getting yourself into
trouble if you're holding this.
**[12:38] (Flashback) Elias**
Since you don't know how to act
without putting yourself on the line,
**[12:41] (Flashback) Elias**
I want you to act in a way that
won't allow this to be broken.
**[12:44] (Flashback) Chise**
It's scary when you put it that way.
**[12:47] (Flashback) Elias**
Good, it was supposed to be.
**[12:49] (Flashback) Elias**
I can't have you getting a hole
in your stomach again.
**[12:53] (Flashback) Chise**
I understand.
**[12:55] (Flashback) Chise**
I'll hold on to it.
**[12:57] Elias**
That's right.
**[12:58] Elias**
I can't have her break.
**[13:02] Elias**
It frightens me when she
doesn't take care of herself.
**[13:07] Elias**
What?
**[13:08] Angelica**
Well.
**[13:10] Elias**
What? Why are you smirking?
**[13:14] Chise**
Bride...
**[13:16] Chise**
I'm not really functioning as one,
so I'm not particularly disappointed.
**[13:20] Rahab**
I see.
**[13:22] Chise**
Besides, whether I'm his bride or not,
**[13:26] Chise**
it doesn't change the fact
that I'm at his side.
**[13:29] Chise**
You said you couldn't
even teach him to smile.
**[13:34] Chise**
But Elias is definitely smiling.
**[13:37] Chise**
He might not know it himself,
but he's smiling for sure.
**[13:40] Chise**
At least, that's what it looks like.
**[13:43] Chise**
He gets angry, too.
**[13:45] Ruth**
Because you make him mad.
**[13:48] Chise**
He gets frustrated, and even jealous.
**[13:53] Chise**
I'm just guessing, but he
seems to be giddy these days.
**[13:59] Rahab**
Giddy...
**[14:03] Rahab**
Really?
**[14:04] Rahab**
That's what you're seeing, is it?
**[14:06] Rahab**
How fortunate that he's met you.
**[14:10] Chise**
I'm not sure how to explain it, but Elias
isn't really interested in food or his home.
**[14:17] Chise**
But he has a home he lives in.
**[14:21] Chise**
He takes care of his yard.
**[14:23] Chise**
He has a farm.
**[14:26] Chise**
And he's a proper mage.
**[14:28] Chise**
I'm certain it's all because
he imitated you, Rahab-san.
**[14:34] Chise**
And that's the Elias who rescued me.
**[14:38] Chise**
So that was thanks to you, too.
**[14:43] Rahab**
* The gods and the fairies*
* are right there with you.*
**[14:48] (Flashback) Rahab**
Even if no one will pay you any heed,
**[14:51] (Flashback) Rahab**
even if you're sad, and distraught, and lonely,
**[14:54] (Flashback) Rahab**
they'll always be watching over you.
**[14:57] (Flashback) Rahab**
So have confidence and work
on saving yourself, Elias.
**[15:06] Chise**
Thank you for helping me and Elias.
**[15:13] Rahab**
You mustn't scare an old
lady like that, Miss.
**[15:19] Rahab**
I'm so glad you're Elias's partner.
**[15:26] Chise**
I'll come back.
**[15:28] Rahab**
Would you mind not telling
him that you've met me?
**[15:31] Chise**
Why not?
**[15:32] Rahab**
It was out of concern, but I was
technically surveilling him.
**[15:36] Rahab**
Besides, you ought to learn how to
handle secrets, facts, and truths.
**[15:42] Chise**
I thought mages were supposed
to make an effort not to lie.
**[15:46] Rahab**
Conceal the truth without telling lies.
**[15:49] Rahab**
It's an important part of
keeping the advantage
**[15:51] Rahab**
when you're negotiating with neighbors.
**[15:54] Rahab**
I can't give any more advice
as a human, but Chise,
**[16:00] Rahab**
you'll be perplexed by many things
you can see and many you can't.
**[16:05] Rahab**
You'll even have trouble
choosing what to do.
**[16:09] Rahab**
Still, I trust that our arms and
legs will know what must be done.
**[16:17] Stella**
Chise!
**[16:19] Chise**
Stella.
**[16:20] Stella**
Did you see that crazy fog?
**[16:24] Chise**
I did.
**[16:27] Stella**
Chise?
**[16:57] Philomela**
No matter how many times I check,
it's just tea imbued with magic power.
**[17:15] Chise**
Elias.
**[17:17] Chise**
Are you sure you shouldn't be
in a little more of a hurry?
**[17:20] Elias**
It'll be fine.
**[17:22] Elias**
Remember how I said I'd take a back passage?
**[17:24] Chise**
A back passage...
**[17:29] Elias**
Looks like our guide is here.
**[17:31] Chise**
Guimph?
**[17:35] Hazel**
Man, I'm so late.
**[17:39] Hazel**
I went back to my herd, and they wouldn't
stop nagging me to get married and stuff.
**[17:46] Hazel**
Now, then...
**[17:48] Hazel**
There are back passages all over the place.
**[17:52] Hazel**
An old abandoned house, a yard gate...
**[17:55] Hazel**
Under a fallen tree, a cavernous root...
**[17:59] Hazel**
An unused little bridge, a footpath gate...
**[18:02] Hazel**
Even something like this.
**[18:05] Chise**
A phone booth.
**[18:08] Hazel**
Not that I use special back
passages very often myself.
**[18:13] Chise**
Why not?
**[18:18] Hazel & Elias**
Because they aren't safe.
**[18:25] Hazel**
Don't let go of my hand.
**[18:27] Hazel**
There's no telling what'll
happen if you get lost.
**[18:30] Elias**
The back passages are channels
through this realm.
**[18:34] Hazel**
Although we tend to call them back
passages if there are no humans.
**[18:38] Hazel**
This place is a bit special.
**[18:41] Elias**
Time and coordinates are quite twisted.
**[18:45] Elias**
That's why the entrance and the
exit can be quite close together.
**[18:49] Ruth**
In other words, we can travel
in a short amount of time.
**[18:53] Chise**
So we can commute to
the College through here?
**[18:58] Elias**
That's right.
**[18:59] Chise**
Do the other mages use it often, too?
**[19:02] Elias**
I'm not sure.
**[19:04] Hazel**
I wouldn't recommend it.
**[19:08] Hazel**
I have a contract with *them*,
but it's still unpredictable.
**[19:13] Elias**
"Them"?
**[19:18] Hazel**
See?
**[19:20] Hazel**
They've caught our scent.
**[19:23] Hazel**
These pesky guard dogs...
**[19:26] Hazel**
We call them the "hound dogs."
**[19:30] Chise**
Dogs?
**[19:31] Ruth**
Dogs...
**[19:32] Hazel**
Hey, brothers.
**[19:34] Hazel**
I have a gentleman here who wants
to get from where we entered
**[19:37] Hazel**
to where we're leaving every day.
**[19:40] Hazel**
We won't make a mess, and we've
brought payment for passage.
**[19:44] Hazel**
Would you mind letting them through?
**[19:50] Elias**
What did it say?
**[19:51] Hazel**
As long as we stay in this region.
**[19:54] Hazel**
And go nowhere else.
**[20:02] Elias**
And if we do?
**[20:11] Hound**
We'll chase you forever.
**[20:11] Chise**
"We'll chase you forever."
**[20:16] Hazel**
You heard 'em.
**[20:23] Hazel**
Swallow that for me.
**[20:30] Hazel**
That's the worst of it.
**[20:36] Hazel**
Let's get out of here.
**[20:40] Hazel**
Try to use the same entrance
and exit as much as you can.
**[20:44] Hazel**
To be honest, I don't actually know
how much they'll tolerate, either.
**[21:12] Hazel**
* They wouldn't stop nagging*
* me to get married and stuff.*
**[21:16] Rahab**
* His idea of a bride might be different*
* from what you have in mind.*
**[21:22] Chise**
Elias.
**[21:26] Chise**
When we first met, why did you say
you intended to make me your bride?
**[21:40] Alexandra**
Any changes to your health?
**[21:43] Zoe**
I feel safe as long as I have
my earmuffs and goggles.
**[21:47] Alexandra**
Is there anything that's been
making you more anxious lately?
**[21:51] Zoe**
Let's see...
**[21:53] Zoe**
Do you know of another new student
here named Chise Hatori?
**[22:08] Lucy**
No...
**[22:11] Lucy**
No...
**[22:14] Lucy**
No!
**[22:16] Lucy**
No!
**[22:22] Lucy**
Awful.

**[01:31] Lucy**
I have class now.
**[01:35] Lucy**
Haven't I told you?
**[01:38] Lucy**
Well, the time zone isn't my fault!
**[01:41] Lucy**
That's perfect.
**[01:43] Lucy**
Don't call me anymore.
**[01:49] Chise**
Good morning.
**[01:52] Lucy**
Morning.
**[02:01] Chise**
She's scary even on the phone.
**[02:05] Lucy**
This is technically your room, too.
**[02:08] Lucy**
Don't mind me. Just come in, even
if I'm in the middle of something.
**[02:13] Chise**
Th-Thank you.
**[02:16] Lucy**
I hate the hesitant, weirdly
polite way you talk.
**[02:21] Lucy**
Are you mocking me?
**[02:23] Chise**
N-No, absolutely not.
**[02:26] Lucy**
It reminds me of something.
It pisses me off.
**[02:29] Lucy**
Stop it.
**[02:30] Chise**
Yeah.
**[02:31] Chise**
Okay.
**[02:33] Lucy**
Her words are harsh, but I guess
she's looking out for me.
**[02:38] Lucy**
What?
**[02:39] Chise**
Oh, you just remind me of someone I know.
**[02:42] Lucy**
I see.
**[02:44] Lucy**
I know someone a lot like you, too.
**[02:47] Lucy**
Always timid, trying to read the room,
benevolent in all the wrong ways...
**[02:52] Lucy**
You seem to think things are okay
as long as you put up with everything.
**[02:57] Lucy**
I *hate* it!
**[02:59] Lucy**
Don't go around saying people
remind you of someone you know.
**[03:03] Chise**
Sorry.
**[03:05] Lucy**
Why'd you come to the College, anyway?
**[03:08] Lucy**
Planning on becoming a sorcerer?
**[03:10] Chise**
Nothing like that.
**[03:12] Chise**
It's not for a particularly
important reason.
**[03:14] Chise**
It'd probably seem pretty silly to you.
**[03:17] Lucy**
Do you think I'm so stupid I'd assume that
when I haven't even asked what the reason is?
**[03:22] Chise**
I never said that.
**[03:25] Lucy**
I'm done.
**[03:29] Lucy**
Just finish getting ready.
**[03:31] Chise**
Right.
**[03:33] Lucy**
Where's your lab coat?
**[03:36] Lucy**
Our first class is pharmacology.
**[03:43] Lucy**
I'm opening your closet.
**[03:47] Lucy**
Here.
**[03:48] Chise**
Th-Thanks.
**[03:52] Lucy**
That's all you needed to say.
**[04:01] Chise**
Okay.
**[04:06] Chise**
Um...
**[04:07] Chise**
Jasmine?
**[04:08] Jasmine**
Morning.
**[04:09] Jasmine**
Did you sleep in, too?
**[04:10] Chise**
Something like that.
**[04:12] Jasmine**
How can you stand sharing a room with her?
**[04:15] Jasmine**
She's abrasive, isn't she?
**[04:17] Chise**
Not really.
**[04:20] Jasmine**
I've never seen her getting
along with anyone.
**[04:25] Jasmine**
Though, considering the Webster
Tragedy, I can't blame her.
**[04:29] Chise**
The Webster Tragedy?
**[04:35] Jasmine**
Pretend you never heard that.
**[04:38] Jasmine**
Bye!
**[04:41] Jasmine**
You're gonna be late!
**[04:47] Chise**
Thanks for helping me clean up.
**[04:49] Rian**
I only taught you how to do it.
**[04:55] Chise**
So we have normal classes too, huh?
**[04:57] Rian**
It's not as though everyone who graduates
is going to make a living as a sorcerer.
**[05:08] Isaac**
Have you been any further than that?
**[05:09] Rian**
Isaac and Ivy.
**[05:15] Zoe**
Well, I'm gonna go eat in my room.
**[05:17] Isaac**
Huh? Sure...
**[05:22] Chise**
I'm being avoided.
**[05:24] Isaac**
Hatori. Rian.
**[05:27] Chise**
You can call me Chise.
**[05:28] Isaac**
In that case, call me Isaac, too.
**[05:31] Rian**
What about him?
**[05:32] Isaac**
Zoe's a new student, too.
**[05:35] Isaac**
I've been teaching him stuff.
**[05:37] Isaac**
I mean, I'm not from the prestigious
Seven Shields or anything.
**[05:42] Isaac**
But that also means I know how to teach
in a way that makes sense to people.
**[05:47] Chise**
Prestigious?
**[05:49] Chise**
The Seven Shields?
**[05:52] Isaac**
The Seven Shields are the seven distinguished
families that founded the College.
**[06:01] Isaac**
Roseingrave the Employer,
**[06:03] Isaac**
St. George the Hunter,
**[06:05] Isaac**
Rickenbacker the Doctor,
**[06:07] Isaac**
Forsyth the Strategist,
**[06:09] Isaac**
Hohenheim the Alchemist,
**[06:11] Isaac**
Nightingale the Musician,
**[06:13] Isaac**
Scrimgeour the Protector.
**[06:15] Isaac**
You know how a lot of mages
and sorcerers died in the war?
**[06:20] Isaac**
The Seven were concerned that sorcery would
die away, so they quietly built this College.
**[06:25] Isaac**
To be honest, you don't want to
get too involved with any of them.
**[06:29] Rian**
What do you mean by that?
**[06:30] Isaac**
You're different, Rian.
**[06:32] Rian**
Specifically, the Scrimgeour
family produced a lot
**[06:36] Rian**
of gifted sorcerers who
would serve as protectors.
**[06:39] Rian**
There's still a lot of fighting, so
sorcerers ask them for their protection.
**[06:44] Isaac**
They're like bodyguards.
**[06:46] Chise**
I see.
**[06:49] Rian**
Well, I'm leaving home, so
it's not my problem anymore.
**[06:55] Chise**
Oh...
**[06:57] Chise**
Do you know what the
"Webster Tragedy" is about?
**[07:00] Isaac**
Webster?
**[07:02] Isaac**
You mean Lucy?
**[07:04] Rian**
Chise.
**[07:05] Rian**
Who did you hear about that from?
**[07:08] Chise**
From Jasmine. The twin.
**[07:13] Isaac**
Looks like this is one of those things that
we little people are better off not knowing.
**[07:17] Chise**
Seems that way.
**[07:20] Isaac**
Crap!
**[07:21] Isaac**
The next class is about to start.
**[07:23] Rian**
I'll see you there.
**[07:25] Isaac**
Wait up!
**[07:44] Chise**
We run into each other a lot.
**[07:46] Lucy**
We're roommates. Of course we do.
**[07:49] Chise**
Oh... yeah.
**[07:56] Chise**
Ivy.
**[07:58] Chise**
Have I done something to you?
**[08:02] Chise**
If I have...
**[08:18] Zoe**
Give those back!
**[08:19] Lucy**
Looks like you didn't hear her.
**[08:21] Zoe**
Just give them back!
**[08:23] Zoe**
I need those!
**[08:24] Lucy**
Look, I don't care if you
hate her or whatever.
**[08:26] Lucy**
But it pisses me off when
people ignore others.
**[08:29] Zoe**
You don't know who she is!
**[08:33] Lucy**
What?
**[08:34] Zoe**
Hatori!
**[08:35] Zoe**
You know better than anyone!
**[08:37] Zoe**
You probably think you've
managed to disguise yourself.
**[08:40] Zoe**
But I can tell.
**[08:43] Zoe**
You're a monster!
**[08:49] Isaac**
So what's that Tragedy about?
**[08:52] Rian**
You're better off not knowing.
**[08:54] Rian**
You said it yourself.
**[09:04] Isaac**
Snakes?
**[09:10] (Flashback) Zoe's Father**
Listen up, Zoe.
**[09:12] (Flashback) Zoe's Father**
You're special.
**[09:15] Zoe**
*Special...*
**[09:20] Chise**
His hair turned into snakes.
**[09:22] Lucy**
Don't tell me...
**[09:24] Zoe**
Don't look at me!
**[09:28] Isaac**
Wait, who was that?
**[09:30] Chise**
Ivy...
**[09:31] Isaac**
Zoe?
**[09:32] Chise**
Ruth, please.
**[09:34] Ruth**
Got it.
**[09:35] Isaac**
A familiar?!
**[09:37] Rian**
What happened?
**[09:38] Chise**
His headphones got taken off.
**[09:40] Chise**
Then he got angry, and...
**[09:42] Isaac**
Those aren't headphones.
**[09:44] Isaac**
They're earmuffs.
**[09:46] Isaac**
To keep sound out.
**[09:47] Isaac**
People with hypersensitive
hearing wear them.
**[09:50] Isaac**
Hearing too much is a problem
for them, apparently.
**[09:53] Isaac**
They can't filter out auditory
information by themselves.
**[09:58] Rian**
Where to?
**[10:00] Chise**
I have to apologize.
**[10:02] Rian**
We're going to have to deal with this.
**[10:04] Isaac**
Yeah.
**[10:08] Rian**
Aren't you coming?
**[10:09] Lucy**
You're sure being kind, nobleman.
**[10:11] Rian**
My family is irrelevant—
**[10:13] Lucy**
They *are* relevant.
**[10:15] Rian**
Webster, as long as you're
the one holding those,
**[10:18] Rian**
don't you also owe an apology?
**[10:32] Lucy**
So he's a Gorgon.
**[10:35] Chise**
A Gorgon?
**[10:36] Rian**
A monster that comes up in Greek mythology.
**[10:39] Rian**
"Gorgon" was originally the name of an old
god, but it's used as a family name now.
**[10:46] Rian**
They get treated the same as
anyone else now, but in the past,
**[10:51] Rian**
they were hunted for their
flesh, bodily fluids, and eyes.
**[10:54] Rian**
Their kind need to be protected.
**[10:57] Isaac**
I can't believe one of them would
be in the College, though.
**[11:00] Chise**
Why's that?
**[11:02] Rian**
Gorgons can't speak with humans.
**[11:04] Isaac**
Their vocal range is quite a bit
different from a human's.
**[11:08] Isaac**
And worst of all, their eyes...
**[11:12] Isaac**
They immobilize anyone they make eye contact with.
**[11:15] Isaac**
Supposedly, anyway.
**[11:19] Lucy**
Where are we even going?
**[11:22] Chise**
That won't be a problem.
**[11:34] Chise**
Where are we?
**[11:36] Lucy**
The private gardens.
**[11:38] Lucy**
They're set up so that you
don't know who's inside.
**[11:41] Lucy**
It suppresses sound to some extent, too.
**[11:46] Ruth**
The smell of greenery is oddly strong here.
**[11:49] Ruth**
It's making him hard to track.
**[11:51] Chise**
All right.
**[11:54] Ruth**
Now I can follow him.
**[11:55] Chise**
Yeah.
**[12:16] Chise**
Ivy?
**[12:20] Zoe**
Why?
**[12:21] Zoe**
Are you here to laugh at me?
Because I'm a failure?
**[12:25] Zoe**
Damn it...
**[12:26] Zoe**
I was doing all right until now.
**[12:28] Zoe**
Shit!
**[12:29] Chise**
I think there's been a misunderstanding.
**[12:35] Zoe**
I told you to stay away!
**[12:40] Chise**
Sorry.
**[12:42] Chise**
I know you're not trying to hurt me.
**[12:45] Zoe**
Huh?
**[12:47] Zoe**
Seriously, what's wrong with you?
**[12:51] Lucy**
Take them back.
**[12:53] Lucy**
Sorry for taking them from you.
**[12:56] Zoe**
Y-Yeah...
**[13:03] Lucy**
I heard it's for soundproofing.
You can hear me, though, yeah?
**[13:06] Lucy**
You good now?
**[13:07] Lucy**
Feeling all right?
**[13:07] Lucy**
How about you, Chise?
**[13:08] Lucy**
Did you get bit?
**[13:09] Lucy**
Are you okay with snakes?
**[13:10] Chise & Zoe**
I-I'm fine.
**[13:13] Rian**
Look at that.
**[13:14] Rian**
She can do fine when she tries.
**[13:16] Isaac**
My older sister's like that, too.
**[13:19] Lucy**
Ivy, are you a Gorgon?
**[13:22] Lucy**
Why are you at the College?
**[13:24] Lucy**
Oh, I'm not accusing you of anything.
**[13:27] Lucy**
I just want to know why.
**[13:30] Lucy**
You don't have to answer if you don't want to.
**[13:31] Lucy**
Everyone's got something they
don't want to talk about.
**[13:34] Zoe**
Will you keep it a secret?
**[13:36] Rian**
We can form a contract if you need.
**[13:39] Lucy**
Must you do absolutely
*everything* by the book?
**[13:41] Rian**
Contracts are important.
**[13:43] Zoe**
No, it's fine.
**[13:46] Zoe**
It's honestly been a bit annoying.
**[13:49] Zoe**
I'm better off being found out.
**[13:52] Zoe**
This was my first time coming
to a place like this.
**[14:02] Zoe**
My mom was born in a secret Gorgon
settlement by the Black Sea.
**[14:08] Zoe**
And she met my dad, who was a sorcerer
and demi-human languages researcher.
**[14:14] Zoe**
They laid an egg. That was me.
**[14:18] All**
An egg?!
**[14:18] Zoe**
What?!
**[14:20] Zoe**
Is there a problem with me
being hatched from an egg?!
**[14:22] Isaac**
I mean, I guess eggs are more
productive—I mean, more stable.
**[14:27] Zoe**
I've always been going back and
forth between snake and human.
**[14:33] Zoe**
I've always needed to have
earmuffs and goggles with me.
**[14:36] Zoe**
I'm unusually affected by light and
unusually sensitive to smells.
**[14:42] Zoe**
And I have almost no ability to use my eyes.
**[14:45] Zoe**
Without my special earmuffs,
my hair tries to turn into snakes.
**[14:50] Zoe**
My body sucks.
**[14:52] Chise**
That must have been tough.
**[14:54] Isaac**
So why did you come to the College?
**[14:57] Zoe**
My dad...
**[15:00] (Flashback) Zoe**
I'm afraid of going outside.
**[15:02] (Flashback) Zoe**
People tell me there's something
wrong with me even in the village.
**[15:06] (Flashback) Zoe**
I'm afraid humans are going
to tell me I'm weird, too.
**[15:09] (Flashback) Zoe's Father**
Everyone's got secrets.
**[15:11] (Flashback) Zoe's Father**
Despite that, people are generally nice.
**[15:13] (Flashback) Zoe's Father**
I'm sure you'll make friends, too.
**[15:15] (Flashback) Zoe's Father**
So go to the College and get some studying done.
**[15:19] (Flashback) Zoe's Father**
I'm so worried about you,
I can't even go do my fieldwork.
**[15:23] Zoe**
He was just thinking about his fieldwork!
**[15:25] Rian**
He's a sorcerer.
**[15:26] Isaac**
He's a researcher, after all.
**[15:28] Zoe**
Are sorcerers all like this?
**[15:32] Zoe**
So that's why I'm here.
To train myself to be outside.
**[15:36] Zoe**
What about you, Hatori?
**[15:38] Zoe**
You aren't human either, are you?
**[15:40] Chise**
Well...
**[15:42] Chise**
It might be because of this.
**[15:44] Isaac**
Wow, it's pitch black.
**[15:46] Lucy**
What have you done?
**[15:48] Chise**
Well, I was cursed by a dragon recently.
**[15:51] All**
A dragon?!
**[15:53] Zoe**
Is this what dragons smell like?
**[15:55] Zoe**
It smells so toxic.
**[15:57] Chise**
I think that's because it's a curse.
**[16:00] Zoe**
As Gorgons, we're taught that
our ancestors were dragons.
**[16:04] Zoe**
That's why we get riled up
when we see dragons.
**[16:08] Zoe**
I wonder if that's why I get annoyed.
**[16:11] Zoe**
I do feel bad about what I did.
**[16:13] Zoe**
But here I am, trying really hard to keep
myself from sticking my tongues out,
**[16:17] Zoe**
when this person comes along like catnip...
**[16:20] Zoe**
You get what I'm going through, right?
**[16:22] Chise**
Y-Yeah.
**[16:25] Chise**
Hatori, is there something
other than the dragon...
**[16:28] Chise**
S-Sorry!
**[16:30] Chise**
My snakes!
**[16:32] Lucy**
It's fine.
**[16:34] Lucy**
They're such a nice spring green.
I'd love a dye in this color.
**[16:37] Lucy**
It's beautiful.
**[16:41] Zoe's Father**
*It'll be fine, Zoe.*
**[16:43] (Flashback) Zoe's Father**
You're special, for better or worse.
**[16:46] (Flashback) Zoe's Father**
We were the ones who birthed you that way,
**[16:49] (Flashback) Zoe's Father**
but we don't regret it,
so we can't apologize for it.
**[16:51] (Flashback) Zoe's Father**
So at least we'll create
an opportunity for you
**[16:55] (Flashback) Zoe's Father**
to meet someone who would
say you're beautiful.
**[16:59] Zoe**
I hate to admit it, but he got
his wish sooner than I expected.
**[17:02] Lucy**
Besides, would anyone here
really be surprised
**[17:04] Lucy**
to see someone with snakes for a hair?
**[17:07] Lucy**
Look at the instructors.
**[17:09] Zoe**
The instructors are all human.
**[17:12] Zoe**
I'm scared, though. Really.
**[17:15] Zoe**
There are still people who fall victim
to hunters and never come home.
**[17:20] Lucy**
So you're not here to
become a sorcerer, then?
**[17:24] Zoe**
Of course not.
**[17:25] Zoe**
That's a human thing to do, isn't it?
**[17:29] Rian**
By the way, what do you want to do?
**[17:31] Rian**
If you want to keep it secret, we should
consider using a contract spell—
**[17:39] Ruth**
I caught her listening.
**[17:45] Chise**
Philomela.
**[17:47] Ruth**
She followed us and tried
to eavesdrop or peep.
**[17:52] Ruth**
What do you think you're doing?
**[17:54] Philomela**
Practicing...
**[17:57] Rian**
Her family specializes in intelligence.
**[18:00] Rian**
Are they making you do
that even in the College?
**[18:07] Rian**
I've told you to stop going silent every
time you're in trouble, haven't I?
**[18:11] Chise**
What's your relationship with her?
**[18:13] Rian**
She's my second cousin.
**[18:16] Rian**
Did you hear what we were saying in there?
**[18:19] Philomela**
About Chise and Ivy.
**[18:22] Rian**
You got past the noise suppression sorcery.
**[18:25] Zoe**
Are you going to sell me to someone?
**[18:27] Philomela**
I have no intention of telling anyone.
**[18:31] Lucy**
And if someone asks you?
**[18:33] Philomela**
I don't know.
**[18:35] Philomela**
I don't have the right to refuse.
**[18:40] Rian**
We have no choice.
**[18:41] Rian**
We'll use the contract spell.
**[18:44] Rian**
It'll burn your throat if
you try to tell someone.
**[18:48] Rian**
And it'll burn your fingers
if you try to write it down.
**[18:50] Isaac**
That's a bit much...
**[18:53] Chise**
Um, so... in my case, I'm just trying to
keep my secret as much as I can.
**[18:57] Chise**
But I'd really rather you
not tell anyone about Ivy.
**[19:01] Philomela**
If that's an order,
I'd prefer you make it clear.
**[19:05] Chise**
It's not an order.
**[19:07] Chise**
Um...
**[19:10] Chise**
It's a request, I guess.
**[19:16] Philomela**
All right.
**[19:20] Rian**
Blessings upon they who adhere.
**[19:23] Rian**
Punishment upon they who breach.
**[19:27] Rian**
A warning to they who possess wisdom.
**[19:30] Rian**
A song of doom to
the mouths of the ignorant.
**[19:33] Rian**
A silver tongue bares wisdom.
**[19:36] Rian**
A lead tongue is forsaken by the Lord.
**[19:39] Rian**
Thou shalt not speak.
**[19:42] Rian**
Thou shalt not write.
**[19:45] Rian**
The ring of the pact,
the snake in a river of grief.
**[19:49] Rian**
Consume the flesh of they who speak.
**[19:52] Rian**
Drink the blood of they who write.
**[19:55] Rian**
The song of betrayal
will not be forgiven.
**[20:08] Rian**
And the pact is made.
**[20:16] Zoe**
Chise...
**[20:18] Zoe**
I haven't apologized yet.
**[20:20] Zoe**
Sorry for ignoring you and
getting angry and stuff.
**[20:25] Chise**
I wasn't bothered by it.
**[20:33] Lucy**
I still don't trust you.
**[20:36] Lucy**
Sneaking around like that...
**[20:38] Lucy**
My family died because of people like you.
**[20:56] Rian**
I heard you told Chise about the Websters.
**[20:59] Rian**
Jasmine.
**[21:03] Rian**
You shouldn't bring that family up.
**[21:06] Jasmine**
It just slipped out by accident.
**[21:08] Rian**
Bear in mind that you're a member
of one of the Seven Shields families.
**[21:12] Jasmine**
You Scrimgeours sure are wise.
**[21:16] Rian**
Spare me the self-depreciation, St. George.
**[21:19] Rian**
Besides, I've already decided
I'm going to be by myself.
**[21:24] Jasmine**
Do you honestly think we
can abandon our own blood?
**[21:33] Jasmine**
Rian!
**[21:37] Jasmine**
What's his problem?
**[21:38] Jasmine**
He's so aggressive.
**[21:45] Jasmine**
You were here, Violet?
**[21:47] Violet**
Rian is too condescending.
**[21:51] Violet**
He puts on that face like
he's above everyone else.
**[21:55] Violet**
Truly arrogant.
**[21:58] Violet**
If things get really bad, we can
find a master and run away.
**[22:02] Jasmine**
Huh?
**[22:03] Violet**
Mister Ainsworth said we might have
aptitude to become mages, remember?
**[22:09] Jasmine**
But...
**[22:14] Violet**
We can make all the escape routes we need.
**[22:19] Violet**
Why not?

**[00:01] Chise**
Elias.
**[00:04] Chise**
When we first met, why did you say
you intended to make me your bride?
**[00:14] Elias**
Well...
**[00:19] Chise**
Tell me later, okay?
**[00:41] Elias**
Renfred.
**[00:45] Renfred**
What?
**[00:46] Elias**
Have you ever considered taking
someone as your spouse?
**[00:53] Renfred**
Huh?
**[02:31] Elias**
I'm looking for examples
I might use to explain.
**[02:35] Renfred**
Ah, to *her*, huh?
**[02:37] Elias**
What about your girl?
**[02:40] Renfred**
What about her?
**[02:41] Elias**
Alice has a lot of magic power, but she
doesn't quite have the talent to match.
**[02:48] Elias**
I thought you were bringing her
up to maintain your lineage.
**[02:55] Renfred**
I'll admit that a lot of
sorcerers think that way.
**[03:02] Renfred**
But she's my daughter!
**[03:06] Renfred**
I took her in!
**[03:08] Renfred**
She's a slow learner.
**[03:09] Renfred**
She's not physically tough.
**[03:11] Renfred**
She's stubborn and clumsy, but she's honest.
**[03:15] Renfred**
She's become attached to
a combative guy like me.
**[03:19] Renfred**
Unlike me, she smiles a lot.
**[03:22] Renfred**
I would never have raised her
for such a senseless reason.
**[03:25] Renfred**
I'll protect her.
**[03:28] Renfred**
Until she can make her own
decisions and live her own life.
**[03:32] Renfred**
That's my duty.
**[04:07] Chise**
Alice.
**[04:08] Alice**
Sorry to call you out of the blue.
**[04:10] Alice**
And for making you pick me up, too.
**[04:12] Chise**
It's fine.
**[04:13] Chise**
There aren't any buses this late.
**[04:16] Simon**
Hi, nice to meet you.
**[04:19] Simon**
Call me Simon.
**[04:20] Alice**
I'm Alice.
**[04:21] Alice**
Nice to meet you, um...
**[04:24] Chise**
He's a priest who's familiar
with our circumstances.
**[04:27] Simon**
Okay, let's go.
**[04:33] Simon**
I never would have thought you'd come
to me about something like this.
**[04:37] Chise**
I'm sorry, I just couldn't
think of anyone else to ask.
**[04:42] Simon**
That's all right.
**[04:43] Simon**
I'm really glad you made a friend, though.
**[04:48] Alice**
N-Not really *friends*, so much as
someone in the same situation.
**[04:55] Simon**
Did you know?
**[04:56] Simon**
You can describe a fact
using many different words.
**[05:01] Simon**
And you can summarize many different
facts using just one word.
**[05:06] Alice**
Uh-huh...
**[05:07] Simon**
How many copies of the Bible do you
think there are throughout the world?
**[05:11] Chise**
Th-The Bible?
**[05:14] Simon**
Over three billion, according to some counts.
**[05:17] Simon**
That figure is contested, though.
**[05:19] Alice**
That's a lot.
**[05:21] Simon**
Do you think everyone who's read
it interprets it the same way?
**[05:26] Chise**
No.
**[05:27] Simon**
Exactly.
**[05:28] Simon**
The same words and bits of information
mean something different to each person.
**[05:35] Alice**
Right...
**[05:37] Simon**
You asked for her help,
**[05:38] Simon**
and she spent three hours of
her time to pick you up.
**[05:41] Simon**
And she, despite not liking to ask for
help, was kind enough to rely on me.
**[05:46] Simon**
So, I took the liberty of assuming that
the two of you are close friends.
**[05:53] Simon**
My apologies.
**[05:56] Alice**
No, well...
**[05:58] Chise & Alice**
We *are* friends.
**[06:01] Simon**
I appreciate the honesty!
**[06:06] Simon**
Here we are.
**[06:14] Chise**
Thank you.
**[06:16] Chise**
I'd like to repay you later.
**[06:18] Alice**
Thank you.
**[06:20] Simon**
Don't worry about it.
**[06:21] Simon**
Good night.
**[06:22] Chise & Alice**
Good night.
**[06:31] Alice**
What is this?
**[06:32] Alice**
What's it called?
**[06:34] Alice**
It's different somehow.
**[06:36] Chise**
Do you like it?
**[06:37] Alice**
It's great.
**[06:38] Alice**
I want the recipe.
**[06:40] Elias**
What brings you here without Renfred?
**[06:44] Alice**
I'm borrowing your apprentice for a night.
**[06:49] Elias**
I'd rather not lend her out.
**[06:51] Alice**
You've got Ruth.
**[06:53] Elias**
Ew.
**[06:54] Ruth**
That's my line.
**[06:56] Chise**
Elias, I'll sleep in your room tomorrow.
**[07:03] Elias**
Oh, fine.
**[07:05] Alice**
Are you two sleeping together?
**[07:29] Chise**
Did something happen?
**[07:36] Alice**
Have you ever experienced
suddenly being told
**[07:40] Alice**
you don't need to do something that
you were determined to pull off?
**[07:45] Alice**
I'm still in the middle of studying and
training, but I thought I could do it.
**[07:51] Alice**
But it turns out that I wasn't
being useful to Master at all.
**[07:58] Alice**
How could I forget?
**[08:01] Alice**
The same thing happened way back when, too.
**[08:07] Alice**
It was like fireworks on
New Years or Guy Fawkes Night.
**[08:13] Alice**
The scene was just as vibrant
and just as wretched.
**[08:19] (Flashback) Alice**
Master, want some coffee?
**[08:22] (Flashback) Renfred**
The powdered stuff you bought in bulk?
**[08:23] (Flashback) Alice**
Crap, I was supposed to open
the stuff he gave me first.
**[08:29] (Flashback) Alice**
Were we expecting someone?
**[08:31] (Flashback) Renfred**
No.
**[08:35] (Flashback) Alice**
A kid?
**[08:37] (Flashback) Alice**
I'll get it.
**[08:38] (Flashback) Renfred**
Be careful.
**[08:40] (Flashback) Alice**
Right.
**[08:43] (Flashback) Joseph**
Hello, Miss.
**[08:46] (Flashback) Alice**
Who the hell are you?
**[08:48] (Flashback) Joseph**
Are you his apprentice?
**[08:50] (Flashback) Joseph**
You don't look like him.
**[08:51] (Flashback) Joseph**
So not his daughter, either.
**[08:54] (Flashback) Renfred**
Did someone send you?
**[08:55] (Flashback) Joseph**
Oh, sorry, I haven't even introduced myself.
**[09:00] (Flashback) Joseph**
I'm Joseph.
**[09:02] (Flashback) Joseph**
Some seeds I sowed a long time ago
ended up producing a good yield.
**[09:06] (Flashback) Joseph**
So I'd like your cooperation.
**[09:08] (Flashback) Alice**
Huh?
**[09:09] (Flashback) Alice**
What the hell are you going on about?!
**[09:27] (Flashback) Joseph**
It's just like I heard.
**[09:29] (Flashback) Joseph**
You protect your bodyguard.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Alice**
Master...
**[09:33] (Flashback) Alice**
Master!
**[09:34] (Flashback) Joseph**
You're too soft.
**[09:36] (Flashback) Alice**
You...
**[09:47] (Flashback) Joseph**
You're not strong enough for me.
**[09:51] (Flashback) Joseph**
You shouldn't expose your
weakness like that, Mikhail Renfred.
**[09:58] Alice**
*Weakness...*
**[10:01] (Flashback) Joseph**
You seemed the most cooperative.
Guess I was right.
**[10:07] (Flashback) Joseph**
You're going to die if you
don't do something about that.
**[10:10] (Flashback) Joseph**
I'll stop the pain and bleeding for you.
**[10:13] (Flashback) Joseph**
Oh, you're doing it yourself.
**[10:19] (Flashback) Renfred**
What do you want?
**[10:21] (Flashback) Joseph**
First off, I want to claim the
corruption in the Kingdom of Cats.
**[10:27] (Flashback) Renfred**
The corruption?
**[10:29] (Flashback) Joseph**
It's gonna make a good ingredient
in something I'm making.
**[10:35] (Flashback) Joseph**
You don't have very long
hair for a sorcerer.
**[10:39] (Flashback) Joseph**
Do you specialize in logical construction?
**[10:42] (Flashback) Renfred**
Well, anyway...
**[10:47] (Flashback) Renfred**
I'd rather you don't have magic power.
**[10:49] (Flashback) Renfred**
I can't have you resisting, after all.
**[10:52] (Flashback) Renfred**
I'll redraw these for you, too.
**[10:56] (Flashback) Renfred**
That way, you'll remember you've got a chain
around your neck every time you look in the mirror.
**[11:02] (Flashback) Renfred**
I like it.
**[11:05] (Flashback) Renfred**
Well, I should probably explain.
**[11:09] (Flashback) Renfred**
Don't worry, I'll give you your
arm back as soon as I'm done.
**[11:18] Alice**
I was so preoccupied with what
was happening at the time.
**[11:22] Alice**
Master protected me.
**[11:25] Alice**
And we couldn't even get his arm back.
**[11:28] Alice**
I've grown taller, but I'm not any stronger.
**[11:32] Alice**
And yet here I am, acting like
some badass bodyguard.
**[11:38] Alice**
He said I'm a daughter to him.
**[11:43] Alice**
"Daughter"?! What the shit?!
**[11:45] Alice**
Thanks for raising your
"bodyguard," damn it!
**[11:50] Alice**
Sure, it was my own decision, but...
**[11:54] Chise**
And it made you sad to hear him say that?
**[12:00] Alice**
I didn't hate it, I guess.
**[12:02] Alice**
I've lived with him at his
house this whole time.
**[12:09] Alice**
Like you would with your family.
**[12:11] Alice**
But it still sucked to hear it.
**[12:16] Alice**
I don't think of Master as my dad.
**[12:20] Alice**
My idea of a father is
a pathetic, worthless junkie.
**[12:28] Alice**
Not someone as awesome as he is.
**[12:32] Chise**
That's complicated.
**[12:39] Alice**
What about you?
**[12:41] Chise**
Me?
**[12:43] Alice**
You're sleeping with him.
**[12:45] Alice**
You aren't just master
and apprentice, are you?
**[12:49] Chise**
I guess not.
**[12:52] Chise**
I don't really know, either.
**[12:55] Chise**
He's my master, technically.
**[12:58] Chise**
But we're technically also married, so...
**[13:03] Alice**
Married...
**[13:04] Alice**
You're in pretty deep.
**[13:06] Chise**
I don't really think about it, usually.
**[13:08] Chise**
Maybe we are, maybe we aren't.
**[13:12] Chise**
I think other people usually use
a different word to describe it.
**[13:17] Alice**
That thing Simon said about people
having different interpretations?
**[13:24] Chise**
Yeah.
**[13:26] Chise**
But whatever we call it, it doesn't
change what it really is.
**[13:32] Chise**
There are different ways of thinking
about it, but the truth is still the same.
**[13:37] Chise**
Renfred-san has his own interpretation
**[13:40] Chise**
of your relationship with him,
and you have your own, too.
**[13:45] Chise**
Maybe it's the same thing
with a different name.
**[13:50] Alice**
Still, though, how would you feel
if someone said Elias is your dad?
**[13:59] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
You're so silly.
**[14:01] Alice**
Brother.
**[14:02] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
Who even cares what he thinks?
**[14:05] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
You want to become his bodyguard, don't you?
**[14:09] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
If you don't intend to change that,
what's there to worry about?
**[14:13] Alice**
Like I *said*...
**[14:17] Alice**
I mean, yeah, you're right! But...
**[14:21] Alice**
I...
**[14:27] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
You're what?
**[14:29] Alice**
I'm sleeping!
**[14:39] Chise**
Good night.
**[15:11] Chise**
You still aren't asleep.
**[15:14] Elias**
Nor are you.
**[15:15] Chise**
I was hearing Alice out,
and now I can't sleep.
**[15:20] Elias**
Did she want to discuss something with you?
**[15:21] Chise**
Yes.
**[15:29] Chise**
May I ask your answer to my
question from this morning?
**[15:34] Elias**
Can I think about it a bit longer?
**[15:37] Chise**
There's so much to think about every day.
**[15:40] Chise**
I might forget if I wait too long.
**[15:51] Elias**
I thought it would be a convenient solution.
**[15:54] Elias**
Whether you're a spouse or an
apprentice, you'd be living with me.
**[15:58] Elias**
If I had the same person be both,
I'd have one less thing to deal with.
**[16:05] Elias**
Are you disappointed in me?
**[16:10] Chise**
To be honest, I expected as much.
**[16:13] Elias**
You did...
**[16:15] Chise**
I mean...
**[16:18] Elias**
Although...
**[16:20] Elias**
An apprentice eventually
leaves their master.
**[16:24] Elias**
You became my master and
taught me all kinds of things.
**[16:30] Elias**
You left me at one point.
**[16:32] Elias**
And then you came back.
**[16:35] Elias**
And I couldn't let you go.
**[16:38] Elias**
And...
**[16:40] Elias**
You said it was because you're my bride.
**[16:46] Elias**
A married couple is supposed
to stick together, right?
**[16:50] Chise**
Honestly, it's not like that anymore.
**[16:53] Elias**
Eh?
**[16:54] Chise**
A lot of couples get divorced these days.
**[16:59] Chise**
I think a married couple,
or a master and apprentice...
**[17:03] Chise**
are each just one interpretation. One role.
**[17:06] Elias**
Role?
**[17:08] Chise**
Whether you're parent and child or friends,
**[17:11] Chise**
people have all kinds of
relationships and roles.
**[17:14] Chise**
They either take on those roles
or wish the other person would.
**[17:21] Chise**
Depending on who you ask, people have
different names for the same role.
**[17:26] Chise**
So we take on the roles of "master and
apprentice" and "married couple," but...
**[17:33] Chise**
But I guess we don't have to really
stick to those roles so strictly.
**[17:41] Elias**
Do you mean you don't appreciate being
assigned the role of my bride or my master?
**[17:48] Chise**
No, actually, I do appreciate it.
**[17:50] Chise**
I don't hate it at all.
**[17:53] Chise**
It's just that...
**[17:59] Chise**
It doesn't matter how it started.
**[18:04] Chise**
Whatever our roles,
**[18:06] Chise**
I'm happy when I'm with you.
**[18:11] Chise**
And it makes me happy to know
that you can't let me go.
**[18:27] Elias**
Happy?
**[18:31] Chise**
"Happy" means...
**[18:34] Chise**
I can make it through another day tomorrow.
**[18:38] Chise**
As long as I have this memory, I can
make through a hardship or two.
**[18:43] Chise**
It cheers me up.
**[18:45] Chise**
It makes my insides go "wahhh"...
**[18:53] Elias**
I see.
**[18:55] Elias**
So, right now, I'm happy that
I got to speak with you,
**[18:58] Elias**
and I feel lonely about
having to go back to bed.
**[19:04] Elias**
I think I'm probably happy to take
on the role of your husband.
**[19:11] Elias**
Is it all right if I continue in this role?
**[19:15] Elias**
Frankly, I don't know what
I'd do if you said no.
**[19:25] Chise**
I'm still your master, too, though.
**[19:29] Elias**
Yes.
**[19:38] Alice**
I never managed to figure anything out.
**[19:44] Alice**
And I ended up dumping all of it on Chise.
**[19:48] Renfred**
It's noon.
**[19:49] Renfred**
What happened to class?
**[19:51] Alice**
Good morning, sir!
**[19:53] Renfred**
Morning.
**[19:58] Alice**
Damn it, screw this!
**[20:01] Alice**
You might think of me as your daughter,
**[20:05] Alice**
but I don't think of you as my dad at all!
**[20:10] Renfred**
What are you...
**[20:11] Alice**
I don't hate that you think
of me as your daughter.
**[20:14] Alice**
But that's not the role I want.
**[20:17] Alice**
You keep talking about me being
your duty or job and shit...
**[20:20] Alice**
Do you think you're inferior
to me or something?
**[20:26] Renfred**
I was the one who set you on your path.
**[20:29] Renfred**
I forced it on you in a way
you wouldn't notice.
**[20:32] Alice**
No!
**[20:34] Alice**
You *taught* me my path!
**[20:36] Alice**
And I took it because
I thought it'd be good for me!
**[20:40] Renfred**
If I hadn't taken you in, you would
have chosen a more normal path.
**[20:46] Alice**
There are no "what ifs"!
**[20:49] Alice**
You chose *me* back then!
**[20:52] Alice**
So now it's my turn to choose *you*!
**[20:56] Alice**
Mikhail Renfred!
**[21:09] Alice**
I'm done just being protected.
**[21:12] Alice**
I'm begging you, let me protect you
at least for that arm's worth.
**[21:19] Alice**
I'll work harder.
**[21:30] Renfred**
You're still a child, so long as
you're just standing there shouting.
**[21:41] Renfred**
It's an adult's duty to protect children.
**[21:44] Renfred**
If you want to protect me, you
can start by not skipping class.
**[21:52] Alice**
You don't get it!

**[00:08] (Flashback) Philomela**
Almost.
**[00:11] (Flashback) Philomela**
Put your left foot on that bulge there.
**[00:16] (Flashback) Philomela**
That's it.
**[00:17] (Flashback) Philomela**
Grab this branch.
**[00:24] (Flashback) Philomela**
That hole.
**[00:26] (Flashback) Philomela**
Face the other way.
**[00:32] (Flashback) Rian**
I made it!
**[00:33] (Flashback) Philomela**
Congrats.
**[00:35] (Flashback) Rian's Mom**
Hey!
**[00:36] (Flashback) Rian's Mom**
No climbing where the grown-ups
and familiars can't see you!
**[00:39] (Flashback) Rian**
Okay.
**[00:41] (Flashback) Rian**
You're such a good teacher.
**[00:44] (Flashback) Rian**
And you can climb faster than I can.
**[00:50] (Flashback) Philomela**
That's not true.
**[02:46] Isaac**
Have you two gotten used to College yet?
**[02:49] Isaac**
Chise's a mage, and this is Zoe's
first time going to school, right?
**[02:54] Zoe**
Well...
**[02:57] Zoe**
I'm still not used to being
around so many people.
**[03:01] Chise**
Yeah.
**[03:02] Zoe**
Other than that, it's fun.
**[03:04] Zoe**
There's a lot of subjects I like, too.
**[03:07] Chise**
There's a bunch of different
activities in P.E., too.
**[03:10] Chise**
Today's...
**[03:11] Rian**
Bouldering.
**[03:12] Rian**
We do a lot of P.E. so
we're always ready to act.
**[03:16] Zoe**
I'd rather study than exercise.
**[03:19] Zoe**
Not that I'd enjoy either one.
**[03:21] Whoopi**
You there!
**[03:23] Whoopi**
Get a move on if you're done resting!
**[03:26] Rian**
I'm going.
**[03:28] Chise**
See you.
**[03:40] Chise**
That was impressive.
**[03:43] Philomela**
Thanks.
**[03:49] Isaac**
Down she goes.
**[03:53] Chise**
Are you all right, Lucy?
**[03:55] Lucy**
Don't freak out like that.
**[03:57] Lucy**
You'll make it look like a big deal.
**[03:59] Chise**
Sorry.
**[04:01] Lucy**
Why do you keep...
**[04:05] Lucy**
I'm fine.
**[04:06] Lucy**
I'm not hurt.
**[04:07] Lucy**
Your turn to go up and fall.
**[04:10] Chise**
Okay.
**[04:12] Chise**
Do you have any advice?
**[04:18] Adolf**
Are you worried?
**[04:21] Adolf**
You're watching her all the time
when you don't have classes.
**[04:26] Elias**
You could see me, huh?
**[04:28] Adolf**
I may not have much magic power,
but my eyesight's decent enough.
**[04:34] Elias**
She makes faces here
that she doesn't show me.
**[04:37] Adolf**
Does that upset you?
**[04:39] Elias**
I suppose it does.
**[04:42] Elias**
But I can't look away, either.
**[04:45] Adolf**
I think I understand.
**[04:48] Elias**
You do?
**[04:50] Adolf**
I do.
**[04:51] Adolf**
I remember a lot of bad things,
**[04:54] Adolf**
but good memories come
with them at the same time.
**[04:57] Adolf**
Something like that.
**[04:59] Adolf**
So I can't help but reminisce.
**[05:03] Adolf**
It doesn't make sense, but it happens.
**[05:08] Elias**
I see you making that face often lately.
**[05:12] Elias**
What are you thinking about?
**[05:17] Adolf**
Well...
**[05:19] Adolf**
Living for as long as I have,
there's a lot to think about.
**[05:22] Adolf**
But I often remember my hometown of Dresden.
**[05:26] Elias**
Dresden? Of Germany?
**[05:30] Adolf**
It was a beautiful city.
**[05:33] Adolf**
The River Elbe, with the linden
trees along its banks...
**[05:40] Adolf**
The corner bakery.
**[05:43] Adolf**
The tailor's shop where I bought my coat.
**[05:47] Adolf**
I left my home long before
the war broke out.
**[05:51] Adolf**
By the time I returned after it ended,
there was nothing but rubble.
**[05:55] Adolf**
Everything I remembered was buried.
**[05:58] Adolf**
Once you lose everything, you
remember all kinds of things.
**[06:08] Elias**
I still can't decide if such memories
are a good thing or a bad thing.
**[06:16] Elias**
All you're doing is remembering.
**[06:18] Elias**
And it's not as though you
can recall everything.
**[06:21] Adolf**
It's too complicated to say if
any one memory is good or bad.
**[06:26] Adolf**
Perhaps if the experience isn't
uncomfortable, then it's a good memory.
**[06:30] Elias**
Should it really be that simple?
**[06:32] Adolf**
There isn't much more to it.
**[06:34] Adolf**
You should try asking various people
more of those types of questions.
**[06:39] Adolf**
You'll hear all kinds of answers.
**[06:42] Elias**
That girl there is my master.
**[06:45] Elias**
I don't intend on asking others
for their teachings too much.
**[06:50] Elias**
But I'll keep that in mind.
**[06:57] Elias**
He doesn't seem malicious.
**[06:59] Elias**
Well, whatever.
**[07:04] Narcissus**
I was just chasing him down
to give him some documents.
**[07:08] Narcissus**
No wonder his appearance hasn't
changed much since I first met him.
**[07:13] Narcissus**
He's a mage of sorts.
**[07:24] Rian**
You might be putting too much
strength into your hold.
**[07:27] Rian**
It's important not to use more
stamina than you need to.
**[07:30] Veronica**
You've become friends with her, huh?
**[07:33] Philomela**
I don't know.
**[07:35] Veronica**
I know you're not good at talking to people.
**[07:39] Veronica**
You should take this opportunity
to talk to her more.
**[07:42] Philomela**
Is that...
**[07:45] Philomela**
Is that an order?
**[08:14] Olivia**
There's nothing wrong with caring for
others, but you'd best get to bed.
**[08:59] Philomela**
"I'm really sorry that I couldn't
do the morning routine.
**[09:02] Philomela**
I am going back to my house
because I was called.
**[09:04] Philomela**
I'll be back by tomorrow."
**[09:05] Veronica**
"I'll be back by tomorrow."
**[09:08] April**
Miss Veronica!
**[09:10] April**
Good morning, ma'am!
**[09:12] Veronica**
Morning.
**[09:15] Veronica**
I'll have to be ready to
console her tomorrow.
**[09:45] Guards**
Welcome home, miss.
**[09:47] Philomela**
I'm back.
**[09:52] Philomela**
Where is Grandmother?
**[09:54] Guards**
In her study, as usual.
**[10:11] Roger**
Well, well, she's back.
**[10:13] Joshua**
Who's she again?
**[10:15] Roger**
Some slob who wastes her time going
to a worthless so-called College.
**[10:21] Philomela**
Grandmother is calling.
**[10:23] Philomela**
Pardon me.
**[10:26] Joshua**
"Grandmother," she says.
**[10:28] Joshua**
As if she sees her as her grandchild.
**[10:31] Joshua**
She's the child of a woman
who stole the succession.
**[10:39] Philomela**
Alcyone.
**[10:42] Alcyone**
I'm here.
**[10:46] Philomela**
A new student at the College caught
onto me while I was concealed.
**[10:51] Alcyone**
Well.
**[10:53] Alcyone**
But we're capable of erasing almost
all of our odors and magic scent.
**[10:59] Philomela**
And yet I was noticed.
**[11:02] Alcyone**
Is this new student a student of sorcery?
**[11:06] Philomela**
No.
**[11:07] Philomela**
She seems to be a mage.
**[11:09] Alcyone**
Why is a mage there?
**[11:11] Philomela**
I don't know what her goals are.
**[11:14] Philomela**
She has a dog familiar.
**[11:16] Philomela**
That may be why she was able to notice us.
**[11:19] Alcyone**
In that case, it wouldn't have
been your aura, odor,
**[11:24] Alcyone**
or magic scent that she'd picked up.
**[11:26] Philomela**
What, then?
**[11:28] Alcyone**
I've heard that mages and witches
**[11:30] Alcyone**
that are close to that world
are sensitive to *the scent*.
**[11:36] Philomela**
The scent?
**[11:38] Alcyone**
The scents of certain emotions,
**[11:41] Alcyone**
their changes and transitions,
or even their very presence...
**[11:46] Alcyone**
Some say it's the smell of the soul itself.
**[11:50] Philomela**
What shall I do?
**[11:53] Alcyone**
I'll think of something.
**[11:55] Alcyone**
Please give me some time.
**[11:57] Philomela**
Okay.
**[12:11] Lizbeth**
Come in.
**[12:16] Lizbeth**
You're late.
**[12:18] Philomela**
I apologize, Grandmother.
**[12:22] Lizbeth**
Is Miss Veronica still well?
**[12:26] Philomela**
Yes.
**[12:28] Lizbeth**
We had no intention of
sending you to the College.
**[12:32] Lizbeth**
You are only permitted
to attend by her charity.
**[12:35] Lizbeth**
Do not embarrass me.
**[12:38] Philomela**
Yes.
**[12:39] Lizbeth**
Are you keeping up with your studies?
**[12:42] Philomela**
Yes.
**[12:43] Lizbeth**
You have no need for such an education,
**[12:46] Lizbeth**
but as you are receiving it,
you mustn't be negligent.
**[12:49] Philomela**
Yes.
**[12:50] Lizbeth**
We have no need for a follower
who only knows how to say "yes."
**[12:55] Philomela**
I'm sorry.
**[12:57] Lizbeth**
You look as pale as ever.
**[13:01] Lizbeth**
Are you taking proper care of your health?
**[13:04] Lizbeth**
And here I was, about to
give you a gift today.
**[13:12] Lizbeth**
I never said you could raise your head.
**[13:16] Lizbeth**
Greedy child.
**[13:18] Lizbeth**
Do not anger me with your ineptitude.
**[13:24] Philomela**
I'm sorry.
**[13:26] Lizbeth**
Never mind.
**[13:28] Lizbeth**
It's not as though you've
ever been any better.
**[13:33] Lizbeth**
Sit down over there.
**[13:36] Lizbeth**
I trust that you remember why
I called you home today.
**[13:42] Philomela**
Yes.
**[14:10] Alice**
Damn.
**[14:11] Whoopi**
Swayne.
**[14:13] Whoopi**
I see you're working hard.
**[14:15] Alice**
Can I help you?
**[14:16] Whoopi**
I've never seen you so focused.
**[14:20] Whoopi**
What's changed?
**[14:21] Alice**
Nothing's changed, sir.
**[14:23] Whoopi**
At least tell a more convincing lie.
**[14:28] Whoopi**
You've been booking a lot of
time in the training area.
**[14:31] Whoopi**
I heard you haven't been
skipping classes, either.
**[14:34] Whoopi**
And you're using your dorm room again
even though you left once already.
**[14:39] Whoopi**
Oh, I'm not admonishing you or anything!
**[14:43] Whoopi**
I mean, one of the College's
functions is to train protectors.
**[14:47] Whoopi**
There's nothing wrong with that.
**[14:49] Alice**
So what do you want from me, then?
**[14:52] Whoopi**
Everything's fine, but it's always the keen
ones that end up taking it too far.
**[14:59] Whoopi**
Just look at me.
**[15:00] Whoopi**
I couldn't help myself.
**[15:02] Whoopi**
I couldn't help but keep working on
my experiments, and now look at me.
**[15:07] Whoopi**
I was conscious when my skin came
apart and melted and fused...
**[15:13] Whoopi**
It was pretty traumatic!
**[15:16] Whoopi**
It's only now that partial transfiguration,
transformations, burns,
**[15:19] Whoopi**
and injuries are something to be proud of.
**[15:22] Whoopi**
But I used to get laughed at before,
and it's not exactly convenient.
**[15:27] Whoopi**
I have to hide from people all the time.
**[15:32] Whoopi**
I suppose you're too young
to care about any of that.
**[15:36] Alice**
It's just that...
**[15:37] Alice**
Someone said something
I really didn't want to hear.
**[15:40] Alice**
So I wanna impress 'em.
**[15:47] Whoopi**
You can go ahead and increase
your ammo and target cap.
**[15:50] Whoopi**
I'll take care of the budget for you.
**[15:54] Alice**
Thanks a ton!
**[15:58] Adolf**
Ah, sure.
**[15:59] Adolf**
The ammo and target cap, right?
**[16:01] Adolf**
No problem.
**[16:02] Adolf**
We can handle that.
**[16:05] Adolf**
We have plenty of far more
unreasonable requests.
**[16:09] Adolf**
Yes.
**[16:10] Adolf**
Bye.
**[16:19] Adolf**
Something must have happened.
**[16:22] Adolf**
You haven't started venting at all,
even though you've got a drink ready.
**[16:27] Renfred**
I'm not in the mood today.
**[16:29] Adolf**
You're always in the mood
to vent when you're here.
**[16:42] Adolf**
You sure have grown.
**[16:45] Adolf**
Or grown old, rather.
**[16:46] Renfred**
Even a baby will be ready to
drink after twenty years.
**[16:51] Adolf**
I made a mistake, teaching
you to love alcohol.
**[16:55] Renfred**
You were the one who brought
me a bottle for my graduation.
**[16:59] Adolf**
I never would have let you take a sip if
I'd known you'd be such a nasty drunk.
**[17:08] Renfred**
I...
**[17:13] Renfred**
I want her to stay a child
until the time comes.
**[17:19] Renfred**
She's 18 now.
**[17:21] Renfred**
She's too old for me to be ordering around.
**[17:24] Renfred**
It's up to her to decide her own future.
**[17:26] Renfred**
But I...
**[17:29] Renfred**
I don't want Alice to end
up like me or my dad.
**[17:37] Adolf**
Whenever there was
something we wanted to do,
**[17:40] Adolf**
we couldn't wait to become
grown-ups, remember?
**[17:44] Adolf**
And when we finally get older,
we think we're finally grown-ups.
**[17:49] Adolf**
But do you think we've
actually become grown-ups?
**[17:53] Renfred**
What's your point?
**[17:54] Adolf**
Maybe what a kid wants to do and what a
grown-up wants to do aren't all that different.
**[18:01] Adolf**
You must know that girl's been
desperate to make herself useful to you.
**[18:11] Renfred**
That's the problem.
**[18:13] Adolf**
He's got to know that she's just going to
resist if he tries to push her away.
**[18:17] Adolf**
I guess emotions don't
always agree with logic.
**[18:20] Adolf**
Sheesh, I never knew my
senior was such a pain.
**[18:26] Renfred**
You're more of an
upperclassman in every way.
**[18:29] Adolf**
No way.
**[18:30] Adolf**
You graduated first, and you're
the first one leaving.
**[18:35] Adolf**
I'm the junior. That's how it ought to be.
**[18:37] Renfred**
Some oddball junior you are.
**[18:41] Adolf**
Nothing in life's ever gone my way.
**[18:46] Adolf**
At least let me have this.
**[18:54] Adolf**
Jeez, I wish I could get drunk on so little.
**[19:00] Adolf**
I feel like I've been taking care
of kids all the time lately.
**[19:07] Adolf**
I should head home for once.
**[19:11] Adolf**
Use my paid leave.
**[19:31] Chise**
Bushcraft?
**[19:32] Isaac**
Yup.
**[19:33] Chise**
What's that?
**[19:34] Isaac**
It's like camping.
**[19:36] Isaac**
You learn the skills you
need to live in nature.
**[19:40] Isaac**
You don't know what's
going to happen, or when.
**[19:44] Isaac**
So you get yourself ready
for whatever happens.
**[19:48] Beatrice**
As vessels of the knowledge of sorcery,
our biggest priority is to survive.
**[19:56] Roy**
And cooking is part of that, too.
**[19:58] Chise**
So you learn to camp without using sorcery.
**[20:03] Rian**
It's fun.
**[20:04] Chise**
You switched tasks?
**[20:06] Rian**
I can never tell how gentle
I need to be with the peeler.
**[20:09] Martin**
Where are we headed this year, again?
**[20:11] Kevin**
Scotland, apparently.
**[20:13] Martin**
Man, it's so cold out there.
**[20:15] Kevin**
You hate the cold, don't you, Martin?
**[20:18] Chise**
Camping...
**[20:20] (Flashback) Teacher**
Okay, everyone, pair up!
**[20:24] Chise**
I'm having flashbacks to my elementary
and middle school field trips.
**[20:28] Chise**
No, it'll be fine.
**[20:29] Chise**
No one's like that here.
**[20:32] Chise**
And I've changed a bit, too.
**[20:37] Lucy**
It can come in handy, I guess.
**[20:42] Chise**
I'll try looking forward to it.
**[20:46] Chise**
Scotland, though...
**[20:49] Chise**
I have a feeling Elias is going
to insist on coming along.
**[20:57] Elias**
Oh?
**[21:16] Whoopi**
Listen up!
**[21:18] Whoopi**
This is going to be our campground.
**[21:21] Whoopi**
Split up and work with your groups.
**[21:24] Whoopi**
Securing your sleeping area,
maintaining your fire, acquiring water...
**[21:28] Whoopi**
Those are your top priorities.
**[21:31] All**
Yes, sir.
**[21:36] Rian**
We can cut it up and eat it.
**[21:38] Isaac**
But we brought food!
**[21:40] Zoe**
I think I'm good for now.
**[21:42] Isaac**
For *now*?!
**[21:43] Beatrice**
Can I have it, then?
**[21:45] Sofia**
I'm not eating that, Beatrice!
**[21:53] Chise**
I didn't think there were any
forests until we got here.
**[21:57] Chise**
I was wrong, huh?
**[21:59] Lucy**
How are you not tired?
**[22:00] Chise**
Our groupmates are almost
the same as our roommates.
**[22:04] Chise**
I look forward to it.
**[22:05] Lucy**
Sure, whatever.
**[22:07] Lucy**
All right, let's find wood for fuel
and setting up our tent.
**[22:12] Chise**
Okay.

**[00:14] Elias**
May I talk now?
**[01:57] (Flashback) Elias**
I think I'll come along.
**[02:00] (Flashback) Chise**
Where to?
**[02:02] (Flashback) Elias**
The camping trip.
**[02:04] (Flashback) Chise**
Don't you need to teach?
**[02:07] (Flashback) Elias**
It's just one class in the afternoon.
**[02:09] (Flashback) Chise**
No, I don't think you should miss that.
**[02:13] (Flashback) Chise**
It's to practice living alone
out in the wild, after all.
**[02:18] (Flashback) Chise**
It would defeat the purpose
for me if you were there.
**[02:22] (Flashback) Elias**
I'll keep myself hidden,
and I won't interfere.
**[02:25] (Flashback) Chise**
I might depend on you if
I knew you were there.
**[02:29] (Flashback) Chise**
I won't put myself in danger.
**[02:32] (Flashback) Chise**
Okay?
**[02:35] (Flashback) Elias**
In other words, I just have to
make sure I'm not useful to you.
**[02:47] Chise**
I never would have thought
he could duplicate himself.
**[02:51] Elias**
* I don't do this often, so I can't share my*
* vision or any other senses concurrently,*
**[02:56] Elias**
* but once I'm in one piece,*
* they'll be shared.*
**[02:59] Elias**
* I'm not quite my full self without*
* the other piece, so I'll stay at home.*
**[03:04] Chise**
Or so he says.
**[03:08] Elias**
Chise.
**[03:09] Elias**
I caught some fish from the river.
**[03:14] Chise**
Oh well, I guess.
**[03:23] Chise**
There's a lot of neighbors
here... good neighbors.
**[03:28] Elias**
You're right.
**[03:29] Elias**
There are still a lot of old stories about
them from Scotland and northern England.
**[03:37] Elias**
They must have had a deep
relationship with humans.
**[03:42] Chise**
It's relaxing...
**[03:46] Chise**
But I can't help but be a bit anxious.
**[03:50] Lucy**
Chise!
**[03:56] Lucy**
Haven't you got enough yet?
**[03:58] Lucy**
Start the fire already.
**[04:01] Chise**
Okay, got it.
**[04:03] May**
April, could you hammer that peg over there?
**[04:06] April**
Okay.
**[04:09] Chise**
Like this, and...
**[04:18] Chise**
I can't get it to work.
**[04:19] Lucy**
You have to be quicker.
**[04:22] Lucy**
Shave off some more to be sure.
**[04:26] Lucy**
And start some good sparks.
**[04:33] Chise**
You're amazing.
**[04:34] Chise**
Could you teach me again tomorrow?
**[04:37] Lucy**
I don't mind.
**[04:39] Chise**
I'll go get some water.
**[04:52] Chise**
A horse?
**[04:57] Chise**
No.
**[04:58] Chise**
That's a fairy, too.
**[05:00] Elias**
That's a kelpie.
**[05:02] Elias**
Or, no... it might be an each-uisge.
**[05:05] Chise**
An each-uisge?
**[05:07] Elias**
Yeah.
**[05:08] Elias**
They take reckless travelers
and farmers on their backs.
**[05:12] Elias**
Then they run into water,
drown them, and eat them.
**[05:16] Elias**
So don't get on its back.
**[05:20] Chise**
I'm not getting on.
**[05:25] Each-uisge**
The river...
**[05:27] Each-uisge**
I'll be at the lake ahead of the river.
**[05:38] Lucy**
That took you a while.
**[05:40] Chise**
Lucy, if you see a horse out
there, don't get on, okay?
**[05:44] Lucy**
A horse?
**[05:50] Chise**
It's getting dark.
**[05:54] Lucy**
Her eyes don't look like human eyes.
**[05:58] Lucy**
Are mages all like this?
**[06:29] Chise**
I can't tell if those are voices of
other students or of the neighbors.
**[06:36] Elias**
Ruth and I are both here.
**[06:38] Ruth**
Hey.
**[06:40] Chise**
This is supposed to be a practical for me.
**[07:00] Chise**
Ah, well.
**[07:20] Chise**
The birds are so loud.
**[07:35] Chise**
Morning.
**[07:37] Philomela**
Morning.
**[07:38] Chise**
You're up early.
**[07:41] Philomela**
I always am.
**[07:43] Chise**
Ah.
**[07:45] Philomela**
Bye.
**[07:59] Chise**
She's still hanging onto that potpourri.
**[08:03] Lucy**
Why do you care about her?
**[08:06] Chise**
Who?
**[08:09] Lucy**
I'm talking about Sergeant.
**[08:11] Chise**
I don't know.
**[08:14] Lucy**
You don't have a reason?
**[08:17] Chise**
It's not exactly that she's relatable...
**[08:24] Chise**
But I think she could talk more.
**[08:28] Chise**
What about you?
**[08:29] Lucy**
What about me?
**[08:30] Chise**
You seem to hate Philomela.
**[08:33] Lucy**
Is that a bad thing?
**[08:34] Chise**
No.
**[08:36] Chise**
I just wonder if there's a reason.
**[08:38] Lucy**
I hate sorcerers.
**[08:44] Chise**
Why are you at the College, then?
**[08:50] Lucy**
The fire's out.
**[08:52] Lucy**
While I wash my face,
**[08:53] Lucy**
can you set things up to reignite it?
**[08:56] Chise**
Okay.
**[09:43] Chise**
I guess we're going home tomorrow.
**[09:46] Lucy**
Yeah.
**[09:48] Chise**
That felt like an instant.
**[09:52] Lucy**
I have to study as soon as I get home.
**[09:56] Chise**
Do you like studying?
**[09:59] Lucy**
There's a lot I need to accomplish.
**[10:03] Lucy**
Unlike you.
**[10:06] Chise**
There's something I need
to do, too, actually.
**[10:10] Chise**
I don't know when I'll be done, though.
**[10:14] Lucy**
Oh, yeah?
**[10:21] Lucy**
What?
**[10:22] Lucy**
Why don't you tell me what it is?!
**[10:28] Chise**
Good night, Lucy.
**[10:31] Lucy**
Night.
**[10:45] Lucy**
Bathroom.
**[11:17] Chise**
Why is my skin prickling?
**[11:21] Elias**
Are you up?
**[11:22] Elias**
I feel that disturbance, too.
**[11:25] Chise**
Do you?
**[11:27] Chise**
Lucy!
**[11:30] Ruth**
She's been gone for a while.
**[11:36] Chise**
Lucy!
**[11:37] Chise**
Lucy!
**[11:39] Chise**
Lucy?
**[11:46] Chise**
Lucy!
**[11:47] Chise**
What happened?
**[11:49] Elias**
Looks like her magic power is dried up.
**[11:52] Elias**
Magic power is as important to
us as life is to normal people.
**[11:57] Elias**
She's in a bit of danger.
**[11:59] Chise**
Can we not share any with her?
**[12:02] Elias**
You could.
**[12:03] Elias**
You have far more than enough.
**[12:10] Elias**
Hold her close by.
**[12:12] Elias**
Since her power is dried up,
she'll naturally suck up yours.
**[12:19] Elias**
Ruth, please tell Mr. Whoopi about this.
**[12:23] Ruth**
Got it.
**[12:25] Chise**
We have to get back to the tent.
**[12:38] Chise**
Since the day my arm changed, my senses
have broadened even more than before.
**[12:45] Chise**
I can see the outlines of
things I couldn't see before.
**[12:48] Chise**
Their movements, their whispers,
**[12:52] Chise**
their touch... all of it
became easier to sense.
**[12:57] Chise**
So I'd let my guard down a bit.
**[13:01] Chise**
There's more in the darkness
that I don't know about.
**[13:06] Chise**
A centaur?
**[13:08] Elias**
No, that's not a centaur.
**[13:10] Elias**
It's a sea monster that brings
calamity to island and highland alike.
**[13:14] Elias**
A nuckelavee.
**[13:16] Chise**
A nuckelavee...
**[13:21] Elias**
Chise, run!
**[13:23] Chise**
Where?
**[13:24] Elias**
That thing can't touch freshwater.
**[13:26] Chise**
Freshwater...
**[13:28] Chise**
The river!
**[13:33] Whoopi**
The magic power isn't flowing naturally.
**[13:36] Whoopi**
I need to look into this.
**[13:44] Chise**
Why is it attacking us?
**[13:47] Elias**
Who knows?
**[13:48] Elias**
Rumor has it that it can't help
but kill humans on sight.
**[13:53] Elias**
It also wrecks crops by spewing poison mist.
**[13:57] Elias**
Maybe it left the sea because
nothing's come along in a while
**[14:00] Elias**
that can see it like we can.
**[14:02] Chise**
Then did the nuckelavee get Lucy?
**[14:05] Elias**
I don't think so. That's
not the way it attacks.
**[14:08] Ruth**
Chise! Elias!
**[14:10] Elias**
Ruth!
**[14:11] Elias**
Where's the teacher?
**[14:13] Ruth**
Couldn't find him.
**[14:15] Ruth**
I did come across these guys, though.
**[14:17] Zoe**
Is something wrong with Lucy?
**[14:20] Chise**
Everyone, run!
**[14:29] Isaac**
Zoe!
**[14:45] Chise**
It stopped.
**[14:47] Isaac**
You did it, Zoe!
**[14:52] Isaac**
Zoe!
**[15:04] Chise**
Poison mist!
**[15:06] Chise**
Everyone, get to the
other side of the river!
**[15:23] Chise**
What do we do, Elias?
**[15:25] Elias**
There's nothing I can do in my state.
**[15:28] Elias**
My original self could eat it,
destroy it, or what have you.
**[15:32] Elias**
But as you wished, this
me can't do anything.
**[15:36] Elias**
You're training yourself on how
not to rely on me, aren't you?
**[15:43] Chise**
I need advice, Elias.
**[15:46] Chise**
Do you think the fairy and the lake
past the river from yesterday would help?
**[15:58] Elias**
I don't mind giving you advice.
**[16:02] Elias**
That one would definitely
make for a good ride.
**[16:09] Elias**
Come. Come.
**[16:13] Elias**
I shall ask for you.
**[16:15] Elias**
I shall beg for you.
**[16:18] Elias**
Come here, horse of the water.
**[16:23] Each-uisge**
I see. You want a ride.
**[16:26] Chise**
Could you draw that thing towards the lake?
**[16:30] Each-uisge**
Very well. Very well.
**[16:33] Each-uisge**
Get on.
**[16:35] Each-uisge**
Get on.
**[16:37] Each-uisge**
Get on.
**[16:38] Chise**
Ruth, take Lucy.
**[16:42] Ruth**
All right.
**[16:48] Rian**
Chise.
**[16:49] Rian**
I'm coming with you.
**[16:50] Chise**
It's dangerous.
**[16:51] Rian**
It's even more dangerous
for you to go alone.
**[16:54] Isaac**
Rian, here!
**[16:59] Rian**
Appreciate it!
**[17:09] Rian**
It's coming.
**[17:16] Isaac**
I envy you, being able to run off
without looking back, Rian.
**[17:22] Whoopi**
My, what are you lot doing out here?
**[17:25] Isaac**
Sir, we have a problem!
**[17:31] Chise**
It hates fresh water.
**[17:33] Chise**
So if we lure it to the
lake and dunk it in...
**[17:36] Elias**
It might run away.
**[17:38] Elias**
But each-uisge eat humans in the water.
**[17:43] Elias**
So you need to get back to
shore as quickly as you can.
**[18:28] Chise**
Fresh water is poisonous to it.
**[18:30] Rian**
Chise!
**[18:31] Rian**
Let's get ashore.
**[18:32] Chise**
Right.
**[18:42] Nuckelavee**
You perceive...
**[18:45] Nuckelavee**
You recognize...
**[18:48] Nuckelavee**
You see behind the shadow...
**[18:50] Nuckelavee**
And I will not spare you.
**[18:53] Nuckelavee**
So long as you look into
our side, we will...
**[18:59] Chise**
Horror.
**[19:00] Chise**
It must be destroyed.
**[19:04] Chise**
Horrors must be destroyed.
**[19:36] Each-uisge**
You got out of the water.
**[19:39] Each-uisge**
I'll have to eat the one
still in the water instead.
**[19:50] Rian**
You will not.
**[19:54] Each-uisge**
Metal...
**[19:56] Rian**
You never let me down, Isaac.
**[20:02] Rian**
I'm not good at using sorcery on others,
but I'm good at using it on myself.
**[20:09] Rian**
Chise!
**[20:11] Chise**
Rian.
**[20:12] Chise**
Are you all right?
**[20:13] Rian**
Yeah, I'm fine.
**[20:16] Each-uisge**
I can't eat you now.
**[20:22] Chise**
Where's Elias?
**[20:28] Rian**
Oh, yeah, why are you here, sir?
**[20:35] Chise**
I'm dry.
**[20:45] Chise**
Just what was that?
**[20:48] Chise**
I would have died instead if
I hadn't done what I did.
**[20:53] Chise**
But...
**[20:55] Chise**
I still feel it.
**[21:06] Chise**
Um...
**[21:07] Chise**
I can't give you my flesh, but...
**[21:12] Rian & Elias**
Ack.
**[21:22] Each-uisge**
No more drunkards at night.
**[21:26] Each-uisge**
No more night travelers.
**[21:28] Each-uisge**
No one standing around.
**[21:30] Each-uisge**
You're the first one wandering
around at night in a while.
**[21:34] Each-uisge**
How disappointing not to eat you.
**[21:40] Elias**
Shall we get going?
**[21:42] Chise**
We should.
**[21:52] Rian**
Are you okay?
**[21:54] Chise**
Okay how?
**[21:55] Rian**
I've seen that face before.
**[22:00] Rian**
In the mirror.
**[22:12] Chise**
I didn't know what to do.
**[22:17] Rian**
Yeah.

**[00:04] Seth**
I'm taking some time off.
**[00:05] Nicholas**
What?
**[00:06] Seth**
Someone in my family
seems to have collapsed.
**[00:08] Nicholas**
Your family?
**[00:11] Seth**
Stop asking questions and
head to the airport.
**[02:02] Chise**
Hey.
**[02:03] Zoe**
Hey.
**[02:05] Zoe**
How's Lucy?
**[02:09] Zoe**
She's been out for a whole ten days now.
**[02:12] Chise**
Yeah.
**[02:13] Zoe**
Are *you* okay, Chise?
**[02:15] Zoe**
You've been with her this
whole time, right?
**[02:17] Chise**
I'm fine.
**[02:20] Chise**
I guess I shouldn't tell him yet that
I have enough magic power to spare.
**[02:27] Alexandra**
Zoe, are you here?
**[02:29] Zoe**
Yes.
**[02:31] Zoe**
Gotta go.
**[02:33] Chise**
Your routine physical?
**[02:34] Zoe**
Yeah.
**[02:35] Zoe**
Don't push yourself too much.
**[02:37] Chise**
Thanks.
**[02:46] Chise**
I hope she's okay.
**[02:48] Elias**
You say that every day.
**[02:55] Chise**
I'm worried.
**[02:57] Chise**
We still don't know why she lost
her magic power all of a sudden.
**[03:02] Elias**
Hey, what is it like to feel "worried"?
**[03:07] Chise**
Your head and guts feel agitated.
**[03:10] Chise**
You keep thinking about a nasty future.
**[03:13] Chise**
And...
**[03:15] Elias**
It's scary?
**[03:17] Chise**
That's part of it, too.
**[03:19] Elias**
Ah.
**[03:21] Elias**
So like the time I couldn't focus on
anything while you were unconscious.
**[03:27] Elias**
Does what's happening to her bother you?
**[03:29] Chise**
Well, it does worry me.
**[03:36] Chise**
Elias...
**[03:37] Elias**
What is it?
**[03:38] Chise**
You and Lucy don't have the same role.
**[03:42] Elias**
I know, I know.
**[03:44] Elias**
I hope you know, too.
**[03:46] Elias**
I'm confident I'm the one who
worries for you the most.
**[03:51] Elias**
My guts cooled back down when you came back.
**[03:57] Elias**
What happened to your hair?
**[03:58] Chise**
I'm home.
**[04:00] Elias**
Welcome home.
**[04:01] Elias**
What happened to your hair?
**[04:03] Chise**
He can fill you in.
**[04:06] Elias**
I'm home, me.
**[04:08] Elias**
Welcome home, me.
**[04:14] Elias**
You sure do put yourself in danger.
**[04:17] Elias**
I can't look away for even a second.
**[04:19] Chise**
I couldn't have done anything
different this time.
**[04:22] Elias**
Well...
**[04:24] Elias**
Yes, you're right.
**[04:26] Elias**
Still, your first thought shouldn't have
been to go look for her by yourself.
**[04:31] Chise**
Right...
**[04:34] Elias**
Though, as a mage, it wasn't a bad decision.
**[04:40] Chise**
Th-Thank you.
**[04:43] Elias**
Also...
**[04:45] Elias**
The way you went about it was
something I would have done.
**[04:49] Chise**
I don't really get it, either.
**[04:53] Chise**
It felt like I could hear someone's
voice from somewhere deep.
**[05:07] Joseph**
And that's why you came to me?
**[05:12] Joseph**
Good night.
**[05:17] Chise**
You're the only one who's been
inside me for a long time.
**[05:21] Joseph**
Why am I the one person
you're so flippant with?
**[05:27] Joseph**
So, what do you think that voice is?
**[05:37] Chise**
Something bad.
**[05:42] Joseph**
It tried to stop something from killing you.
**[05:47] Joseph**
Is that evil?
**[05:49] Chise**
I don't think I should have gone so far.
**[05:53] Chise**
But that was all I could do, it said.
**[05:57] Joseph**
You're only here to regret
it because you survived.
**[06:02] Joseph**
Though, I can't imagine you would have
died so easily, given who you are now.
**[06:08] Chise**
Was that the voice of the dragon?
**[06:11] Chise**
Or...
**[06:12] Joseph**
Dunno.
**[06:13] Joseph**
One thing's certain...
**[06:16] Joseph**
The voice came from within you.
**[06:26] Joseph**
I'm sleepy.
**[06:28] Joseph**
Go.
**[06:32] Chise**
Thanks.
**[06:42] Joseph**
You heard the voice of a dragon
gone mad, having cursed a human.
**[06:49] Joseph**
You've had a taste of my past.
**[06:52] Joseph**
You saw the source of malice and animus.
**[06:57] Joseph**
Guided by the voice, you
learned to hurt another.
**[07:03] Joseph**
Once you know you can bare
your fangs at your enemy,
**[07:08] Joseph**
there's no going back to when
you didn't know anything.
**[07:16] Elias**
You went to ask Cartaphilus?
**[07:19] Elias**
Even though I'm your master?
**[07:22] Chise**
I mean...
**[07:23] Chise**
I thought it'd be best to ask
someone who knows what it's like.
**[07:25] Seth**
Hello.
**[07:33] Chise**
Seth-san.
**[07:34] Seth**
Well, well, Chise.
**[07:36] Seth**
Why are you here?
**[07:38] Chise**
I'm at the College right now.
**[07:40] Chise**
Why are you here?
**[07:43] Seth**
I was told that a family member collapsed.
**[07:45] Alexandra**
Seth Noel, correct?
**[07:48] Alexandra**
I believe I contacted you the day
after the practical, did I not?
**[07:52] Seth**
I was busy with work. I apologize.
**[07:55] Seth**
How is my sister, Lucy?
**[07:58] Alexandra**
She hasn't woken up yet.
**[08:01] Chise**
Huh, you're Lucy's brother?
**[08:04] Seth**
Oh, are you acquainted?
**[08:06] Chise**
She's my roommate.
**[08:08] Seth**
What a surprise.
**[08:10] Alexandra**
I'd like to explain Lucy's condition.
**[08:13] Alexandra**
Please come this sway.
**[08:15] Seth**
She's a difficult person, but I hope
you can give her your friendship.
**[08:26] Chise**
They were siblings...
**[08:33] Chise**
Lucy!
**[09:06] Lucy (young)**
Give them back!
**[09:08] Lucy (young)**
Give us back our spiders!
**[09:21] Lucy**
Chise.
**[09:23] Alexandra**
Lucy!
**[09:24] Alexandra**
You're awake!
**[09:30] Lucy**
Wh-Why are you here?
**[09:33] Seth**
I got word that you'd
collapsed while in a practical.
**[09:36] Seth**
You were out for ten days.
**[09:39] Lucy**
Ten days?
**[09:42] Lucy**
Go away!
**[09:44] Lucy**
Go away!
**[09:45] Alexandra**
You need to be in bed!
**[09:45] Lucy**
Leave!
**[09:47] Lucy**
I don't want a loser like
you to worry for me!
**[09:51] Lucy**
Just get lost!
**[09:53] Chise**
Lucy!
**[09:59] Seth**
I'll stay by her side for a while.
**[10:01] Seth**
She seems to still be unstable.
**[10:17] Chise**
What was that?
**[10:22] Chise**
I smell orange and lavender...
**[10:24] Chise**
Philomela?
**[10:38] Chise**
Were you practicing?
**[10:40] Philomela**
Y-Yeah.
**[10:43] Chise**
S-Sorry.
**[10:45] Chise**
I didn't mean to interrupt.
**[10:49] Chise**
It seems like you're still
holding onto that potpourri.
**[10:52] Chise**
How was the tea?
**[10:54] Chise**
Was it all right?
**[10:55] Philomela**
It was fine.
**[10:57] Chise**
I hope you'll let me know if you run out.
**[11:01] Chise**
I'll make some more.
**[11:05] Philomela**
Why do you do so much for me?
**[11:10] Chise**
I don't know.
**[11:11] Chise**
Sorry.
**[11:12] Chise**
I...
**[11:14] Chise**
I just felt an urge to talk to you.
**[11:17] Chise**
Er...
**[11:18] Chise**
I'll stop if it's bothering you.
**[11:27] Philomela**
Umm...
**[11:29] Philomela**
I'm not used to talking
in front of other people.
**[11:34] Philomela**
I don't mind when it's just the two of us.
**[11:40] Chise**
Got it.
**[11:41] Philomela**
Okay, bye.
**[11:47] Rian**
Chise.
**[11:48] Chise**
Isaac.
**[11:49] Chise**
Rian.
**[11:51] Chise**
I see.
**[11:52] Chise**
Because the boys showed up.
**[11:55] Isaac**
How's Lucy?
**[11:56] Chise**
She just woke up, but then she passed out again.
**[12:00] Rian**
I see.
**[12:01] Rian**
That's a relief.
**[12:03] Section Chief**
Explain!
**[12:04] Section Chief**
Are there any records of something being
taken from the Forbidden Books Storage?!
**[12:09] Section Chief**
Has it been used in an experiment?!
**[12:11] Librarian A**
Not when we did our routine check.
**[12:14] Section Chief**
Then why has it fallen apart?!
**[12:17] Section Chief**
No...
**[12:19] Section Chief**
Has it been replaced with a fake?!
**[12:39] Liza**
Instructors, I thank you for coming.
**[12:43] Liza**
There's been a bit of an emergency.
**[12:47] Section Chief**
Upon inspections of the
Forbidden Books Storage today,
**[12:50] Section Chief**
the book in Storage Number 5
was found to have crumbled.
**[12:54] Instructor A**
A forbidden book?
**[12:55] Instructor B**
Even though it was in storage?
**[12:58] Section Chief**
Upon investigation, we've determined that
the book that had crumbled was a fake.
**[13:06] Simeon**
So that book was a fake
the entire time it was in storage?
**[13:12] Simeon**
Or was it swapped out recently?
**[13:15] Section Chief**
We believe it was swapped out
in the past several days.
**[13:18] Instructor A**
What is the nature of the book?
**[13:20] Instructor A**
What is it called?
**[13:21] Instructor B**
Is it dangerous?
**[13:23] Instructor C**
Is it an original manuscript or a copy?
**[13:26] Section Chief**
Let's see...
**[13:28] Section Chief**
It's a book called *The
Testament of Carnamagos*.
**[13:35] Tory**
Wasn't that the book you...
**[13:38] Section Chief**
It's said that simply reading
it can affect the reader.
**[13:42] Section Chief**
We librarians don't know much
about its contents ourselves.
**[13:46] Section Chief**
The book stored in the library
in England is a copy,
**[13:50] Section Chief**
and we suspect it won't have as
much of an effect as the original.
**[13:53] Section Chief**
But to be honest, we have no idea how
much of an effect that would be.
**[13:58] Elias (female)**
I've read that book before.
**[14:02] Tory**
Wait, wait, wait!
**[14:04] Liza**
And its contents?
**[14:05] Elias (female)**
I'd borrowed it from an acquaintance.
**[14:09] Elias (female)**
It offered a few insights, but I gave the
book back before I could make use of it.
**[14:15] Tory**
Well, he's not* lying*.
**[14:18] Liza**
Would it be possible for you to describe
it to an extent that won't affect us?
**[14:27] Elias (female)**
It can put the living in
mortal danger at times.
**[14:34] Elias (female)**
It describes ways to take in the life
force and magic power of others.
**[14:39] Elias (female)**
How to create immortals.
**[14:41] Elias (female)**
How to destroy them.
**[14:44] Elias (female)**
How to bring back the dead.
**[14:47] Liza**
I see.
**[14:48] Liza**
That does sound like something
that would be forbidden.
**[14:52] Liza**
Why did you choose to read it?
**[14:55] Elias (female)**
It was intriguing.
**[14:58] Elias (female)**
But it turned out that
I don't have a use for it.
**[15:01] Elias (female)**
Reading it comes at a
great cost for a person.
**[15:06] Tory**
I guess he's putting it out in the open
so there's no reason to suspect him.
**[15:12] Liza**
Thank you very much.
**[15:14] Liza**
That was very informative.
**[15:16] Liza**
We will continue investigations
both internally and more broadly.
**[15:21] Liza**
Please let us know if you learn of anything.
**[15:25] Liza**
Given that it can affect humans,
it could cause an incident.
**[15:32] Liza**
In that event, we'll be calling
upon you for cooperation.
**[15:36] Liza**
Keep that in mind.
**[15:38] Instructors**
Yes, ma'am.
**[15:39] Liza**
Please!
**[15:40] Liza**
This isn't the time to remind
us that you're free spirits.
**[15:42] Liza**
We need you to be serious.
**[15:43] Section Chief**
I'm sorry, there's one more thing...
**[15:46] Section Chief**
About the remains of the book...
**[15:49] Section Chief**
There's a special spider silk woven into the
cover and several other parts of the book.
**[15:55] Liza**
Spider silk?
**[15:58] Simeon**
Could it be...
**[15:59] Simeon**
Is that the Webster family's silk?
**[16:05] Liza**
It's possible.
**[16:07] Liza**
Please take care that this information
does not land on the ears
**[16:11] Liza**
of our student, Lucy Webster.
**[16:17] Liza**
Well...
**[16:18] Liza**
Please remember to be careful.
**[16:22] Liza**
And please don't get too
lost in your research.
**[16:31] Elias (female)**
What's this about the
Webster's family spiders?
**[16:34] Tory**
Oh, right.
**[16:36] Tory**
You're a mage, so you wouldn't know.
**[16:39] Tory**
Webster is...
**[16:40] Simeon**
Mr. Ainsworth.
**[16:50] Simeon**
Nice to meet you.
**[16:52] Simeon**
I'm Simeon Paladilhe.
**[16:54] Simeon**
I'd heard a mage was here,
so I've been eager to meet you.
**[16:57] Instructor A**
Ah, so *you're* the mage!
**[16:59] Instructor D**
Huh.
**[17:00] Instructor B**
I hear you're using a magic disguise!
**[17:02] Instructor C**
That's impressive. I would
have never known.
**[17:05] Instructor D**
Mages can transform, too?
**[17:10] Instructor C**
He's bone!
**[17:11] Instructor D**
A dog? A wolf?
**[17:12] Instructor A**
Do you swallow your food whole?
**[17:14] Tory**
Come on! He was in the middle of a question!
**[17:17] Simeon**
A question?
**[17:18] Tory**
He doesn't know about the Webster tragedy.
**[17:29] Simeon**
The Webster tragedy...
**[17:32] Simeon**
Around here, it could
have happened to anyone.
**[17:36] Simeon**
The Webster family made a living by
producing and duplicating magic books.
**[17:42] Simeon**
Their books were famous for
being just like the original.
**[17:47] Simeon**
They were also famous for
the spiders that they kept.
**[17:52] Elias**
Spiders?
**[17:54] Simeon**
The pages were made in part using
the silk that the spiders spun.
**[17:57] Simeon**
And they were bound using the silk, too.
**[18:02] Simeon**
They never revealed much of the details.
**[18:04] Simeon**
It's just what was surmised.
**[18:06] Simeon**
And eight years ago, the entire Webster
family, excluding one person, was murdered.
**[18:13] Simeon**
We don't know who did it.
**[18:16] Simeon**
The survivor is a student at the College.
**[18:20] Simeon**
But their spiders were all stolen.
**[18:24] Simeon**
There are rumors about a spy being involved.
**[18:26] Simeon**
Though that's not certain, either.
**[18:29] Simeon**
The eldest son, who was slated to inherit
the business, had no control of magic.
**[18:35] Simeon**
He'd been driven out of the family.
**[18:38] Elias**
Ah.
**[18:43] Simeon**
Plenty of people know about the incident,
but it's just, y'know... a lot.
**[18:48] Simeon**
It's better not to talk about it too much.
**[18:51] Elias**
Understood.
**[18:54] Elias**
Thanks.
**[18:57] Simeon**
You're welcome.
**[18:59] Instructor A**
He's a proper person.
**[19:00] Instructor B**
He's proper enough to say thanks.
**[19:02] Instructor B**
Well, we'll see you.
**[19:07] Elias**
The people here don't seem to
be bothered by the likes of me.
**[19:13] Simeon**
Your appearance, you mean?
**[19:14] Elias**
It's hard to ignore.
**[19:15] Simeon**
There are still plenty of people
who will talk behind your back.
**[19:19] Simeon**
But here, it's perfectly normal.
**[19:22] Simeon**
So long as you do your work,
people will support you.
**[19:24] Simeon**
I'm sure you'll like life here.
**[19:31] Simeon**
Later.
**[19:35] Tory**
That's Simeon Paladilhe.
**[19:38] Tory**
He's studying sound sorcery.
**[19:40] Tory**
He's pretty easy to talk to, huh?
**[19:43] Tory**
Hm?
**[19:45] Tory**
Why don't you try befriending him?
**[19:48] Elias**
Friend?
**[19:50] Elias**
Chise talks about her friends quite often.
**[19:54] Elias**
I don't really understand friendships.
**[19:58] Elias**
Are they different from acquaintances?
**[20:00] Tory**
Acquaintances are just acquaintances.
**[20:02] Tory**
Friends are more special.
**[20:05] Tory**
Not that I have all that many.
**[20:08] Tory**
Oh!
**[20:09] Tory**
Why don't we become friends
from now on, then?
**[20:17] Elias**
With you, I'll pass.
**[21:10] Lucy**
He has bags under his eyes.
**[21:18] Lucy**
What a dumbass.
**[21:20] Lucy**
I know you hate me.
**[21:32] Nicholas**
He said he'd be fine without
security in the College.
**[21:35] Nicholas**
I'm not so sure, though...
**[21:38] Nicholas**
Shoot, need smokes.
**[22:15] Inuo**
The guard has been picked off.
**[22:18] Inuo**
Let's clean this up and finish the pickup.

**[00:06] Nicholas**
Shit...
**[00:10] Nicholas**
Good thing I asked for a protective charm.
**[00:14] Marielle**
Well.
**[00:17] Marielle**
I thought I found a perfect corpse.
**[00:21] Marielle**
But you're still alive.
**[02:00] Lucy**
Are you up?
**[02:03] Lucy**
Don't move.
**[02:07] Seth**
And why are you up already?
**[02:14] Seth**
I see you've learned to fix people's hair.
**[02:17] Lucy**
It's so that you'll leave sooner.
**[02:20] Seth**
Ow!
**[02:21] Seth**
Be more gentle.
**[02:25] Chise**
Lucy.
**[02:27] Lucy**
Chise?
**[02:29] Lucy**
Wait, isn't that...
**[02:32] Seth**
I asked for it.
**[02:35] Seth**
Never mind that, Lucy.
**[02:36] Seth**
You haven't been looking at your
bank documents at all, have you?
**[02:41] Lucy**
I told you, I'm not using your money!
**[02:44] Seth**
At least check on it.
**[02:52] Lucy**
A-A million pounds?!
**[02:54] Lucy**
What is this money?!
**[02:56] Lucy**
You didn't get involved in some kind
of criminal business, did you?!
**[03:00] Seth**
I think what I did would be considered
quite humane in the sorcerer world.
**[03:10] Lucy**
Speaking of which, are you two acquainted?
**[03:13] Chise**
Well...
**[03:14] Chise**
Seth-san saved me.
**[03:17] Lucy**
How?
**[03:18] Chise**
That's...
**[03:20] Chise**
A secret.
**[03:21] Lucy**
I've had it with this habit of yours where you
stop right before you're about to say something!
**[03:26] Lucy**
I'll mess you up!
**[03:33] Lucy**
Leave, already.
**[03:35] Lucy**
I'll send you off.
**[03:36] Lucy**
I'm getting changed.
**[03:41] Chise**
She's really your sister?
**[03:45] Lucy**
I've been taking care of her
in place of our parents.
**[03:48] Lucy**
I might be more of a father
than a brother now.
**[03:55] Alexandra**
Yesod, Hod, Netzach, Tiferet,
Chokhmah, Keter...
**[04:03] Alexandra**
Transferring.
**[04:22] Alexandra**
Looks like you're awake.
**[04:24] Alexandra**
Can you breathe?
**[04:26] Simeon**
Barely.
**[04:28] Simeon**
Where am I?
**[04:30] Simeon**
The nurse's office?
**[04:31] Alexandra**
Yes.
**[04:32] Alexandra**
The other one.
**[04:34] Alexandra**
You would have been in trouble if Ainsworth
hadn't shared his magic power.
**[04:38] Simeon**
Magic power?!
**[04:39] Alexandra**
Stay still.
**[04:41] Alexandra**
I'm going to hook up the IV.
**[04:43] Alexandra**
Remain as you are.
**[04:48] Simeon**
What happened?
**[04:50] Elias**
You were lying on the ground
by the trees in the yard.
**[04:54] Elias**
I happened to pass by.
**[04:56] Simeon**
The yard?
**[04:57] Simeon**
I don't remember going out...
**[05:04] Elias**
Was someone there?
**[05:05] Simeon**
No...
**[05:06] Simeon**
I can't remember.
**[05:10] Simeon**
You shared your magic power with me, huh?
**[05:14] Simeon**
Thanks. I know it's precious.
**[05:17] Elias**
I don't share it often, but it's
not that precious, either.
**[05:20] Simeon**
Yeah?
**[05:22] Simeon**
Thanks, Mr. Ainsworth.
**[05:31] Elias**
Tory suggested I become friends with you.
**[05:36] Elias**
What does he mean?
**[05:52] Chise**
Are you really sure you
don't need more sleep?
**[05:55] Lucy**
I said it's fine, so it is.
**[05:59] Seth**
See? She's stubborn.
**[06:09] Seth**
Oh?
**[06:09] Seth**
He's not here.
**[06:11] Chise**
Your guard?
**[06:18] Werewolf**
Finally, the two of you are here.
**[06:26] Lucy**
Brother!
**[06:30] Werewolf**
A protective charm.
**[06:33] Seth**
What do you mean, the two of us?
**[06:36] Seth**
It seems you have business
with the Websters.
**[06:43] Lucy**
You!
**[06:48] Werewolf**
Stand down, mage.
**[06:50] Werewolf**
This doesn't involve you.
**[06:52] Chise**
I can't do that.
**[06:54] Seth**
Chise-san!
**[06:55] Seth**
Take my sister and run!
**[06:57] Seth**
I can't let anything happen to you.
**[07:03] Chise**
Ruth!
**[07:24] Chise**
Seth-san, Lucy, to the library.
**[07:29] Chise**
Please, Ruth!
**[07:38] Chise**
Seth-san, who are they?
**[07:40] Seth**
I'm sorry we've gotten you involved.
**[07:42] Seth**
I'd hoped they would have given up by now.
**[07:48] Lucy**
Those bastards...
**[07:53] Chise**
Elias!
**[07:55] Werewolf**
The shadow...
**[07:57] Elias**
Chise, are you hurt?
**[07:59] Chise**
Just a little.
**[08:01] Elias**
I see.
**[08:18] Lucy**
Brother!
**[08:27] Lucy**
I can't use my sorcery!
**[08:34] Seth**
Lucy!
**[08:35] Chise**
Are you okay?
**[08:37] Lucy**
Assholes...
**[08:39] Lucy**
It was you, wasn't it?
**[08:41] Lucy**
You killed my family!
**[08:52] Werewolf**
We failed to finish the job.
**[08:54] Werewolf**
We finish it today.
**[08:58] Chise**
We need to escape somewhere.
**[09:02] Chise**
You know where you need to go, don't you?
**[09:17] Elias**
Chise.
**[09:26] Lucy**
Hey!
**[09:27] Lucy**
Where are we...
**[09:28] Chise**
I'll explain later.
**[09:30] Chise**
Close your eyes.
**[09:31] Chise**
Don't say anything.
**[09:33] Chise**
No matter what.
**[09:39] Elias**
I see.
**[09:42] Elias**
Go.
**[09:44] Elias**
I don't care what happens to those siblings.
**[10:02] Chise**
They're here.
**[10:19] Chise**
This is just my luggage.
**[10:21] Chise**
I'm only carrying it through.
**[10:22] Hound A**
Your toll?
**[10:25] Chise**
I don't have it on me.
**[10:26] Hound B**
Breach of contract.
**[10:27] Chise**
No.
**[10:29] Chise**
We're just passing through
with some luggage.
**[10:32] Chise**
I promise I'll bring meat the next
time, if that's what you need.
**[10:35] Chise**
Abide by the contract and let us through.
**[10:44] Werewolf (female)**
Odd Arm... This doesn't involve you.
**[10:47] Werewolf (female)**
Give her to me!
**[10:49] Hound A**
No.
**[10:51] Hound B**
Missing.
**[10:52] Hound C**
Incorrect.
**[10:53] Hound A**
Not in the contract.
**[10:55] Hound D**
I smell it.
**[10:56] Hound E**
Not in the contract.
**[10:57] Hound A**
If it's not in the contract...
**[11:00] Hound A**
It's prey!
**[11:11] Hounds**
Meat!
**[11:12] Hounds**
Fresh meat!
**[11:14] Hounds**
Meat! Meat!
**[11:17] Werewolf**
Get off my mate!
**[11:19] Chise**
Wolves?
**[11:34] Werewolf (female)**
No!
**[11:35] Werewolf (female)**
My mate!
**[11:36] Werewolf (female)**
No!
**[11:38] Werewolf (female)**
I must go.
**[11:39] Werewolf (female)**
I must help!
**[11:41] Werewolf (female)**
I must go to help!
**[11:46] Werewolf (female)**
Our child!
**[11:54] Chise**
Stop!
**[11:57] Chise**
I'll pay for their passage.
**[12:00] Chise**
Just this once.
**[12:02] Chise**
Please, spare us.
**[12:06] Hound A**
I want human.
**[12:08] Chise**
I can't do that.
**[12:10] Chise**
I can probably prepare a sheep or cow.
**[12:14] Hound B**
Sheep or hound.
**[12:16] Hound C**
As many as there are people
not in the contract.
**[12:21] Chise**
All right.
**[12:23] Chise**
I'll bring them as soon as they're ready.
**[13:24] Chise**
Are you all right?
**[13:25] Seth**
Yeah, I'll live.
**[13:26] Lucy**
Moron.
**[13:28] Lucy**
You can't even use sorcery.
**[13:30] Lucy**
Why...
**[13:36] Seth**
I'm glad you aren't hurt.
**[13:44] Nicholas**
You!
**[13:46] Nicholas**
You're safe? You dumbass!
**[13:48] Seth**
Oh, you're alive?
**[13:51] Chise**
Marielle-san.
**[13:53] Seth**
I appreciate that you
and I are both scrappy.
**[13:56] Seth**
Thanks a lot.
**[13:57] Seth**
This nickel-and-dimer
completely ripped me off.
**[14:01] Marielle**
Oh?
**[14:02] Marielle**
I saved you.
**[14:03] Marielle**
Of course I'm taking compensation.
**[14:06] Elias**
Marielle.
**[14:08] Elias**
I'm glad to see you here.
**[14:10] Elias**
There's something I want you to investigate.
**[14:12] Marielle**
Huh?
**[14:18] Chise**
Here.
**[14:19] Seth**
Thank you.
**[14:26] Chise**
Seth-san, is what happened today
somehow related to your family?
**[14:38] Seth**
We're a family of sorcerers.
**[14:40] Seth**
It happens.
**[14:45] (Flashback) Lucy (young)**
Brother!
**[14:49] (Flashback) Lucy (young)**
Are you really leaving home?!
**[14:52] (Flashback) Seth**
Lucy.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Seth**
There's nothing I can do.
**[14:55] (Flashback) Lucy (young)**
Why...
**[14:57] (Flashback) Seth's dad**
Seth.
**[14:59] (Flashback) Seth's dad**
Are you done packing?
**[15:01] (Flashback) Seth's dad**
I'll remind you never to mention
that you're related to us.
**[15:06] (Flashback) Seth's dad**
It'll hurt our reputation if people find out
that I have a son who can't use sorcery
**[15:11] (Flashback) Seth's dad**
and can't use the spiders.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Seth's dad**
Damn it...
**[15:18] (Flashback) Seth's dad**
We're lucky we had Lucy to
make up for your uselessness.
**[15:27] (Flashback) Lucy (young)**
Is that true?
**[15:29] (Flashback) Lucy (young)**
It's my fault?
**[15:31] (Flashback) Lucy (young)**
Because I'm the successor?
**[15:52] (Flashback) Seth's mom**
She's been shut in for a week now.
**[15:54] (Flashback) Seth's dad**
She'll snap out of it soon enough.
**[15:58] Lucy (young)**
*Brother...*
**[16:00] Lucy (young)**
*How do you see me?*
**[16:12] (Flashback) Lucy (young)**
The spiders' call!
**[16:31] (Flashback) Lucy (young)**
A child?
**[16:45] Seth**
*They kick me out...*
**[16:47] Seth**
* And now they order me to talk*
* sense into my sister before I leave?*
**[17:04] Chise**
So that's what I saw...
**[17:07] Seth**
Rival researchers, study results
they want to steal, silencing...
**[17:11] Seth**
There are a lot of reasons
people like us are attacked.
**[17:14] Seth**
In our case, it's still unclear
what the motivation was.
**[17:22] Seth**
It's a mystery why Lucy was spared.
**[17:26] Seth**
The only thing we know
**[17:28] Seth**
is that every single spider we needed
for binding and printing was stolen.
**[17:36] Seth**
Later, rumors spread that I'd hired
hitmen to take out my family.
**[17:43] Chise**
What's the truth?
**[17:44] Seth**
If I'd really done that, I would
have taken Lucy with me.
**[17:51] Seth**
Sadly, she distrusts me.
**[17:56] Chise**
She does?
**[17:58] Seth**
She suspects I despised her for
inheriting the business in my stead.
**[18:01] Seth**
That I had those wolves attack our family.
**[18:06] Chise**
You never denied it or
looked for the attackers?
**[18:11] Seth**
It was way too risky for a young man
with no weapons and no backing.
**[18:18] Seth**
Though, thanks to that,
**[18:20] Seth**
I've found a job I'm good at, and I can
pay for her to attend the College.
**[18:34] Marielle**
Something is continuing
to sap his magic power.
**[18:37] Marielle**
Even now.
**[18:38] Alexandra**
Even now?
**[18:40] Marielle**
I don't know where from, though.
**[18:43] Marielle**
What else?
**[18:45] Elias**
There are two others in the College who
have collapsed with the same symptoms.
**[18:49] Elias**
Are you aware of any such illness or curse?
**[18:54] Marielle**
What's my reward for giving you an answer?
**[18:57] Elias**
I'm sure the College will prepare something.
**[19:02] Marielle**
You owe me one.
**[19:07] Marielle**
Goddess of glimmering lands,
serpent-slaying god of storms...
**[19:12] Marielle**
Please lend me your hand,
your eyes, for a mere blink.
**[19:36] Elias**
Marielle.
**[19:38] Marielle**
Could I have some water?
**[19:40] Alexandra**
I-I'll get some.
**[19:46] Marielle**
The same scene I saw last time.
**[19:50] Marielle**
I tried to help Phyllis a long time ago.
**[19:56] Marielle**
And I read the book.
**[20:01] Marielle**
I could barely even hold onto my own sanity.
**[20:06] Marielle**
The book that I thought you could handle.
**[20:11] Elias**
Don't tell me...
**[20:14] Marielle**
*The Testament of Carnamagos*.
**[20:17] Marielle**
Someone's using that book to
steal people's magic power.
**[20:21] Marielle**
They're plotting something.
**[20:26] Elias**
Which means...
**[20:29] Elias**
The other one, too.
**[20:41] Lucy**
Why did you help us?
**[20:45] Chise**
I wasn't going to just turn a blind eye.
**[20:50] Lucy**
You saved that wolf, too.
**[20:53] Lucy**
Why?
**[20:55] Lucy**
You meant to have the hounds
attack them, didn't you?
**[21:02] Chise**
They seemed to have a child.
**[21:06] Chise**
So...
**[21:08] Lucy**
They were the ones who tried to
kill us, the ones you just saved!
**[21:12] Lucy**
They...
**[21:15] Lucy**
They killed my entire family.
**[21:24] Chise**
I guess I need to think things over more.
**[21:29] Lucy**
You don't think at all, do you?
**[21:34] Lucy**
But thanks to you, I might be able to
find out who attacked us, and why.
**[21:42] Lucy**
So for that, I owe you.
**[21:54] Chise**
Lucy!
**[21:56] Chise**
Lucy!
**[21:57] Chise**
Lucy!
**[21:59] Chise**
Lucy?
**[22:00] Chise**
Lucy!
**[22:01] Chise**
Lucy!
**[22:07] Lizbeth**
Yes.
**[22:08] Lizbeth**
Understood.
**[22:10] Lizbeth**
Please do.
**[22:17] Lizbeth**
We have a pest.
**[22:20] Lizbeth**
That's all the fun I can
afford to let her have.

**[00:11] Philomela**
The scent's fading.
**[02:02] Marielle**
This girl, too, I think.
**[02:04] Elias**
The same as Simeon, huh?
**[02:07] Marielle**
*The Testament of Carnamagos*
is sapping her magic power.
**[02:12] Chise**
*The Testament of Carnamagos*?
**[02:16] Marielle**
Erm...
**[02:17] Marielle**
It's a book on sorcery that
can fatally harm people.
**[02:21] Marielle**
It's deemed forbidden.
**[02:24] Chise**
Forbidden...
**[02:26] Marielle**
At this rate,
**[02:27] Marielle**
it's just going to keep sucking her power away,
no matter how much we supply her.
**[02:31] Alexandra**
That's a problem.
**[02:38] Elias**
Maybe I can trace where her
magic power is being taken.
**[03:00] Elias**
Or not.
**[03:01] Marielle**
See?
**[03:03] Elias**
I can't tell if that's the nature of the spell,
or if they're concealing themselves...
**[03:08] Marielle**
We'd have to catch the attacker in the act.
**[03:13] Marielle**
It's a nasty spell. That's for sure.
**[03:16] Elias**
I suppose it was thanks to Chise
that Lucy was awake until just now.
**[03:21] Marielle**
Probably.
**[03:22] Marielle**
I suppose it would take a Sleigh Beggy
to provide more than what's being taken.
**[03:27] Marielle**
But if they intended to sap her to death...
**[03:30] Chise**
No!
**[03:32] Elias**
Neither of them have so much magic power
that they'd be worth stealing from, either.
**[03:38] Alexandra**
Exactly.
**[03:39] Alexandra**
We don't know why they were
chosen to be victims.
**[03:44] Elias**
Either way, it's a problem
for me that it's these two.
**[03:47] Chise**
Huh?
**[03:48] Elias**
Chise's going to do something
reckless again for Lucy.
**[03:53] Elias**
And Simeon might become my friend.
**[03:57] Elias**
It's a pain, but I need to
get to the bottom of this.
**[03:59] Marielle**
Oh, wow.
**[04:00] Marielle**
I'm surprised.
**[04:01] Chise**
Lindel-san and Rahab-san were only
"acquaintances," and now Elias has a friend?
**[04:07] Chise**
I'll...
**[04:08] Chise**
I'll do anything I can to help.
**[04:11] Elias**
I can't have you putting yourself in danger.
**[04:14] Elias**
Besides, this incident is not one
for children to be involved in.
**[04:18] Chise**
It doesn't involve you, either, Elias.
**[04:20] Chise**
But still, you said you would act
for Simeon-sensei's sake.
**[04:24] Elias**
I'm acting partly for your sake, as well.
**[04:27] Chise**
Then it *does* involve me.
**[04:30] Chise**
She's my class—my friend.
**[04:33] Elias**
I still don't understand that part of you.
**[04:39] Alexandra**
Hey!
**[04:40] Alexandra**
You're a child. Stay out of this.
**[04:42] Alexandra**
Don't you see that he's worried for you?
**[04:47] Alexandra**
Anyway, I'm going to go
report to the principal.
**[04:51] Alexandra**
Don't mention this to anyone, all right?
**[04:55] Alexandra**
There's an extra class today.
**[04:56] Alexandra**
It might help take your mind off things.
**[05:14] Chise**
Philomela.
**[05:17] Chise**
Morning.
**[05:19] Philomela**
Morning.
**[05:22] Philomela**
Um...
**[05:24] Philomela**
The potpourri you gave me...
**[05:27] Philomela**
It's starting to fade.
**[05:30] Philomela**
So...
**[05:40] Chise**
The fabric's all worn out.
**[05:44] Chise**
Do you want a new pouch?
**[05:46] Chise**
Or should I change it out?
**[05:49] Philomela**
Change it out...
**[05:50] Philomela**
with the same scents.
**[05:57] Philomela**
I smell blood.
**[05:59] Chise**
Want to make some together sometime?
**[06:04] Philomela**
Is that something I could do?
**[06:06] Chise**
I'll bring more kinds.
**[06:15] Philomela**
Someday, then.
**[06:18] Chise**
Okay. Someday.
**[06:23] Tariq**
Today's extra lesson is on rune sorcery.
**[06:28] Tariq**
Runes were originally used in everyday
life as a phonetic writing system.
**[06:33] Tariq**
To use them in sorcery takes a degree
of knowledge and familiarity.
**[06:39] Tariq**
Each character is said
to have its own meaning.
**[06:43] Tariq**
In addition to divination,
**[06:45] Tariq**
they're also used for all kinds of protective
amulets, as well as offensive sorcery.
**[06:49] Tariq**
You can expect them to be quite versatile.
**[06:54] Tariq**
The meanings of each...
**[06:54] Chise**
This looks like a thorn.
**[06:58] Tariq**
Are you curious about that rune?
**[07:00] Chise**
Yes.
**[07:01] Tariq**
That rune is called Thurisaz.
**[07:04] Tariq**
Giants, faeries, and Thor,
the god of lightning...
**[07:09] Tariq**
And thorns.
**[07:11] Tariq**
Brambles.
**[07:12] Chise**
Thorns.
**[07:14] Tariq**
You could use it for protection,
but I wouldn't recommend it.
**[07:18] Tariq**
It won't necessarily protect you in
the way a human would prefer.
**[07:27] Tariq**
All right.
**[07:28] Tariq**
Today, we'll practice using runes
to make a protective amulet.
**[07:32] Class**
Okay.
**[07:33] Student A**
Which one should I use?
**[07:36] Student B**
I think...
**[07:36] Zoe**
Chise.
**[07:37] Student B**
I like this one!
**[07:38] Zoe**
How's Lucy been?
**[07:38] Student A**
Looks nice!
**[07:39] Student B**
It's pretty.
**[07:41] Student A**
It suits you.
**[07:42] Student B**
Really?
**[07:42] Student A**
How about this one?
**[07:56] Lucy**
Zoe.
**[07:58] Zoe**
Did I wake you?
**[07:59] Zoe**
Chise told me you collapsed again.
**[08:02] Zoe**
You should keep resting.
**[08:04] Lucy**
What time is it?
**[08:06] Zoe**
It's night.
**[08:07] Zoe**
I got Alexandra's permission.
**[08:11] Lucy**
My brother...
**[08:12] Zoe**
Huh?
**[08:13] Zoe**
You have a brother?
**[08:15] Lucy**
Never mind.
**[08:17] Zoe**
Err...
**[08:18] Zoe**
Yeah, you should get more sleep.
**[08:20] Lucy**
Yeah.
**[08:22] Zoe**
Um...
**[08:23] Zoe**
Anyway, I just wanted to say hi.
**[08:27] Lucy**
Your snakes...
**[08:28] Zoe**
Huh?
**[08:29] Lucy**
Can I pet your snakes?
**[08:34] Zoe**
Huh?!
**[08:36] Lucy**
What? Is there a problem?
**[08:38] Zoe**
No, I mean...
**[08:52] Lucy**
I used to have spiders.
**[08:58] Lucy**
I adored them so much.
**[09:02] Zoe**
Yeah?
**[09:04] Zoe**
Hey, Lucy...
**[09:06] Zoe**
You shouldn't be so quick to ask other
Gorgons to let you touch their snakes.
**[09:13] Zoe**
That has a special meaning for us...
**[09:22] Zoe**
Oh, well.
**[09:26] Seth**
Ah, youth.
**[09:32] Chise**
We're going to be living
at school for a while.
**[09:38] Chise**
Lucy's a little better when I'm around.
**[09:42] Chise**
I want to do what I can for her.
**[09:44] Chise**
I have a dorm room, too.
**[09:48] Chise**
I'm sorry.
**[09:49] Chise**
I'll come back if you ever need me.
**[09:51] Chise**
It's only until we solve this problem.
**[09:55] Chise**
Elias?
**[09:57] Chise**
Elias had to stay back.
**[09:59] Chise**
He says grown-ups have responsibilities.
**[10:04] Chise**
Hey, Silver...
**[10:07] Chise**
*Our* Elias says he's doing it for his friend.
**[10:11] Chise**
Isn't that amazing?
**[10:12] Chise**
I'm happy, yet I'm conflicted, and...
**[10:18] Chise**
I don't know how to describe it...
**[10:30] Chise**
Okay, I'm going outside for a bit.
**[10:35] Chise**
Don't worry.
**[10:36] Chise**
I won't be far.
**[10:47] Chise**
I brought it.
**[10:55] Hounds**
Contract...
**[10:56] Hounds**
As per our contract...
**[10:58] Hounds**
Meat.
**[10:59] Hounds**
Good.
**[11:00] Hounds**
Good.
**[11:01] Hounds**
Good.
**[11:04] Hazel**
Man, I can't believe you thought to do that.
**[11:08] Chise**
Thank you for preparing the sheep.
**[11:13] Chise**
And for accompanying me.
**[11:14] Hazel**
I got the payment, and I had access.
**[11:20] Chise**
Where did those sheep come from?
**[11:22] Hazel**
Sacrificial animals are usually
sheep, goats, or chickens.
**[11:28] Hazel**
There are plenty of guys around
who work with that kind of thing.
**[11:33] Chise**
I see.
**[11:39] Hazel**
You seem down.
**[11:41] Hazel**
They were raised as for that to begin with.
**[11:44] Hazel**
Don't sweat it.
**[11:47] Chise**
I'm sorry.
**[11:49] Chise**
I'm just bothered by the fact that
I couldn't repay them myself.
**[11:56] Hazel**
You're pretty straight-laced.
Or rather, you're quite an idiot.
**[12:02] Hazel**
Who goes out of their way to
defend someone they don't know,
**[12:05] Hazel**
especially when that person
was after their life?
**[12:07] Hazel**
You don't think ahead, do you?
You just expect things to work out.
**[12:12] Chise**
I can't argue against that.
**[12:16] Hazel**
Your man's got it rough.
**[12:20] Hazel**
What would you have done if
they hadn't settled for sheep?
**[12:23] Hazel**
Would you have snatched
someone off the street?
**[12:26] Hazel**
Or would you have been fine
with being eaten yourself?
**[12:30] Chise**
Well...
**[12:32] Hazel**
That's the kind of creature
you're dealing with.
**[12:36] Hazel**
There are tons of people who broke their promise
and were killed or ended up going mad.
**[12:41] Hazel**
The whole damn world's
unfair enough as it is.
**[12:45] Hazel**
What's the point in taking bad bets?
**[12:53] Chise**
I'm sure I want to live.
**[12:58] Chise**
But I keep acting before I realize it.
**[13:03] Chise**
How can I learn to think about
myself when I do things?
**[13:08] Hazel**
Patience.
**[13:10] Chise**
Patience...
**[13:12] Hazel**
Observe carefully.
**[13:14] Hazel**
Don't jump.
**[13:15] Hazel**
Even pack wolves each have their role.
**[13:18] Hazel**
Watch to see who should be doing what.
**[13:22] Chise**
But when I'm in a position
to act first, I...
**[13:27] Hazel**
Listen.
**[13:29] Hazel**
Is it really other people that
you're so eager to protect?
**[13:32] Hazel**
Or are you just being greedy
and trying to be important?
**[13:37] Chise**
Me? Greedy?
**[13:39] Hazel**
If you want to save everyone
in sight, that's up to you.
**[13:44] Hazel**
But keep in mind that if you get hurt,
**[13:46] Hazel**
there's someone who's going to feel
that pain just as much as you.
**[13:50] Hazel**
Besides, you aren't the only one
they might take their share from.
**[13:54] Hazel**
And I mean both the hounds
and the world at large.
**[13:57] Hazel**
What if you aren't enough for them?
**[14:01] Hazel**
What if they take your friends?
**[14:02] Chise**
I won't...
**[14:03] Hazel**
You know what you need to do to
make sure that doesn't happen.
**[14:07] Hazel**
I'm neither your friend nor your parent.
**[14:10] Hazel**
I won't tell you what to do.
**[14:13] Chise**
I'll keep it in mind.
**[14:21] Hazel**
The sun's coming up.
**[14:25] Student A**
Trick-or-treat!
**[14:27] Student B**
Stop it, dummy! I'm getting wet!
**[14:29] Student A**
Treats or not, I'm still trolling you!
**[14:33] Students**
Trick-or-treat!
**[14:35] Tory**
Here's your treats.
**[14:37] Student**
Thank you.
**[14:40] Tory**
This is all the decorations we have, huh?
**[14:42] Tory**
What a shame.
**[14:44] Tory**
I guess the treats are the important part.
**[14:46] Tory**
Honestly, though...
**[14:47] Tory**
To think I'd be handing
out treats with *you*...
**[14:51] Narcissus**
What can you expect?
**[14:53] Narcissus**
The instructors are far too busy right now.
**[14:57] Narcissus**
The theft of that book...
**[14:59] Narcissus**
The attacks...
**[15:01] Narcissus**
And the possibility that the
perpetrator is in the College.
**[15:05] Tory**
I know things are hectic.
**[15:08] Tory**
But at the same time, it'd be
suspicious if we canceled an event.
**[15:13] Narcissus**
My guess is that it was
one of the undergrounders.
**[15:19] Tory**
Undergrounders? You mean the waste tower?
**[15:21] Tory**
I guess that would make the most sense.
**[15:24] Tory**
Why are you handing out
candies if you know so much?
**[15:27] Narcissus**
To be honest, I'm not particularly
interested in this incident.
**[15:32] Narcissus**
So I should at least let the kids
enjoy the event, shouldn't I?
**[15:37] Tory**
Uh-huh.
**[15:39] Narcissus**
Well, I'm off, now.
**[15:42] Narcissus**
Tristan.
**[15:45] Tory**
I told you not to call me by that name.
**[15:48] Tory**
I'll smack you.
**[15:50] Narcissus**
I'm just messing with you.
**[15:53] Tory**
Jeez.
**[16:00] Student A**
Take this!
**[16:05] Alice**
Right, today's Hallowe'en.
**[16:06] Student B**
Ack!
**[16:10] Student A**
Come on!
**[16:14] Student A**
Watch where you're going!
**[16:15] Student B**
Wait, she's older than us.
**[16:17] Student A**
S-Sorry.
**[16:24] Alice**
You there...
**[16:25] Student A**
Yes?!
**[16:26] Alice**
Could you lend me that
when you're done with it?
**[16:31] Lucy**
Let go of me!
**[16:33] Zoe**
I won't!
**[16:36] Chise**
Um...
**[16:38] Lucy**
Get off me, already!
**[16:41] Zoe**
You might collapse again!
**[16:43] Zoe**
Go back to bed!
**[16:45] Chise**
What's going on here?
**[16:47] Lucy**
I have work on Hallowe'en!
**[16:50] Zoe**
It's not somewhere you should be when
you know you're going to collapse!
**[16:54] Lucy**
That's why I'm going *before* I collapse!
**[16:57] Zoe**
Don't let go of her, Chise.
***SIGN*** Grrrrrip
**[16:59] Chise**
Yup.
**[17:01] Chise**
Is this what people feel like when they
stop me or get mad at me for being reckless?
**[17:06] Lucy**
Let me go!
**[17:08] Lucy**
I need money for tuition!
**[17:10] Chise**
Isn't Seth-san paying for you?
**[17:14] Lucy**
I don't want to touch that money.
**[17:17] Lucy**
He'll just use it as
an excuse to boss me around.
**[17:21] Zoe**
Either way, you can't be out and about now.
**[17:24] Zoe**
Go back to bed.
**[17:25] Lucy**
No!
**[17:27] Rian**
What are you fussing about?
**[17:29] Isaac**
We came to see how you're doing, but...
**[17:32] Lucy**
Chise, you're hurting me.
**[17:34] Chise**
Oh, sorry...
**[17:35] Zoe**
Lucy insists on going to the waste tower.
**[17:38] All**
The waste tower?
**[17:40] All**
What's that, again?
**[17:42] Isaac**
It's one of the towers that
makes up the College.
**[17:45] Isaac**
Students don't get to go there often.
**[17:48] Isaac**
Rumor has it that's
where they keep the results
**[17:51] Isaac**
of botched sorcery and other
stuff they can't get rid of.
**[17:55] Rian**
You can also find rare ores
and medicinal herbs.
**[17:59] Rian**
It's true that you can get
paid to collect them...
**[18:02] Rian**
I didn't think you'd be
working *there*, though.
**[18:05] Lucy**
I'm sure that's shocking to
a good little boy like you.
**[18:08] Lucy**
Anyway, I've already signed
up to do it again this year.
**[18:12] Lucy**
I'm going to have an
instructor with me there.
**[18:14] Lucy**
I'll be fine—
**[18:15] Chise & Zoe**
No!
**[18:15] Chise**
If you really need to go...
**[18:15] Zoe**
I don't know what you need, but...
**[18:18] Chise & Zoe**
...I'll go instead.
**[18:21] Lucy**
Huh?
**[18:35] Zaccheroni**
Hey!
**[18:37] Zaccheroni**
Not home.
**[18:41] Zaccheroni**
Oh, well.
**[18:42] Zaccheroni**
We can inform them later.
**[18:44] Zaccheroni**
Let's get going.
**[18:46] Philomela**
Okay.
**[18:47] Zaccheroni**
I really appreciate you coming along.
**[18:50] Zaccheroni**
There are fewer and fewer
qualified students each year.
**[18:56] Zoe**
Hello.
**[18:58] Zoe**
Is this the entrance to the waste tower?
**[19:02] Chise**
Philomela.
**[19:04] Philomela**
Chise.
**[19:05] Philomela**
And...
**[19:07] Zoe**
So...
**[19:09] Zoe**
Lucy Webster was supposed to be
here for the gathering practical.
**[19:12] Zoe**
She couldn't make it, so
we came in her place.
**[19:17] Zaccheroni**
Practical...
**[19:19] Zaccheroni**
I see.
**[19:21] Zaccheroni**
I'm sure she's grateful.
**[19:23] Zaccheroni**
Has Webster told you what you're collecting?
**[19:25] Zoe**
No.
**[19:27] Zaccheroni**
I'll explain along the way, then.
**[19:30] Zaccheroni**
I'm Fabio.
**[19:32] Zaccheroni**
Fabio Zaccheroni.
**[19:34] Zaccheroni**
Thanks for the help.
**[19:42] Ruth**
Don't look so upset.
**[19:45] Ruth**
I don't like guarding you, either.
**[19:47] Lucy**
You should have gone with Chise, then.
**[19:50] Ruth**
She told me to keep an eye on
you so you don't sneak out.
**[20:00] Ruth**
Please don't do anything
reckless the way Chise does.
**[20:04] Ruth**
I don't have bowels anymore, but your
brother's got a stomach that can ache.
**[20:10] Lucy**
It's not reckless.
**[20:12] Lucy**
I'm...
**[20:14] Wachmann**
Lucy.
**[20:15] Lucy**
Ms. Wachmann.
**[20:17] Wachmann**
I heard you were ill.
**[20:19] Wachmann**
Are you feeling all right?
**[20:21] Lucy**
Yes. I'm sorry.
**[20:23] Lucy**
I know I applied to participate
in the gathering practice...
**[20:26] Wachmann**
It's dangerous there.
**[20:28] Wachmann**
I'll find you another gathering
task once you're feeling better.
**[20:32] Wachmann**
I can handle this one myself.
**[20:36] Lucy**
Have you run into my classmates?
**[20:44] Chise**
Are you working, too, Philomela?
**[20:47] Philomela**
I'm just helping.
**[20:48] Chise**
Always?
**[20:50] Philomela**
Sometimes.
**[20:52] Philomela**
Chise...
**[20:54] Philomela**
Watch out for that man.
**[20:57] Zaccheroni**
Now, students...
**[20:59] Zaccheroni**
Brace yourselves.
**[21:01] Zaccheroni**
Plants and animals that went
extinct and were once lost.
**[21:05] Zaccheroni**
Precious minerals that make the heart skip.
**[21:09] Zaccheroni**
Those who were discarded, yet
are not even allowed to wither,
**[21:13] Zaccheroni**
and even those whose hearts were stolen...
**[21:17] Zaccheroni**
This place can be overwhelming,
so be careful.
**[21:32] Liza**
Hello, Mother.
**[21:35] Liza**
I'm dealing with one problem after another.
**[21:39] Liza**
Now, what shall I do?
**[21:42] Liza**
Where should I begin?
**[21:45] Liza**
Ah, it's not that I'm not having fun.
**[21:49] Liza**
The more problems, the better.
**[21:53] Liza**
That's my job, after all.
**[21:55] Liza**
And the more I can solve,
the better my reputation.
**[22:01] Liza**
You're awful.
**[22:04] Liza**
I suppose I should start
with all these letters.
**[22:09] Liza**
Hm?
**[22:19] Liza**
Philomela Sergeant is withdrawing
from the College, I see.

**[00:01] Narcissus**
* My guess is that it was*
* one of the undergrounders.*
**[00:06] Tory**
*You mean the waste tower?*
**[00:10] Zaccheroni**
Well, students, this is the gathering
area in the waste tower.
**[01:59] Zaccheroni**
Let's begin, then.
**[02:06] Zaccheroni**
There are plants and gems
**[02:08] Zaccheroni**
that can only be found at the ends of
ancient summers, on the night of Hallowe'en.
**[02:14] Zaccheroni**
But, there's a condition you need to satisfy.
**[02:20] Zaccheroni**
Here.
**[02:21] Zaccheroni**
See this?
**[02:25] Isaac**
No.
**[02:28] Zaccheroni**
Okay.
**[02:29] Zaccheroni**
You two.
**[02:30] Isaac & Zoe**
Yes.
**[02:32] Zaccheroni**
You two look for the minerals.
**[02:35] Zaccheroni**
Sergeant, teach them how to gather these.
**[02:39] Philomela**
Yes, sir.
**[02:40] Zaccheroni**
Meet back here in thirty minutes.
**[02:44] Zaccheroni**
To think there are two of
them that are qualified...
**[02:48] Zaccheroni**
Minerals team!
**[02:49] Isaac & Zoe**
Coming!
**[02:52] Chise**
What is that?
**[02:56] Rian**
Dunno.
**[02:58] Philomela**
Look for those.
**[03:01] Philomela**
Grab them by the petals and
cut them above the root.
**[03:06] Chise**
What's the condition that
lets you see those things?
**[03:11] Philomela**
I think you're better off not knowing.
**[03:15] Rian**
Speak more clearly!
**[03:19] Chise**
Let's go, Philomela.
**[03:25] Chise**
Rian's weirdly aggressive towards Philomela.
**[03:36] Alice**
Trick or treat?
**[03:39] Renfred**
Trick.
**[03:48] Renfred**
That's a nasty trick.
**[03:53] Alice**
I've grown up enough to
knock you onto the floor now.
**[03:57] Renfred**
You're right.
**[03:59] Renfred**
You've certainly grown up.
**[04:00] Alice**
But that would have been
nothing if you had your arm.
**[04:05] Renfred**
You don't need to worry about this.
**[04:08] Renfred**
Like I said before, you don't
need to protect me, either.
**[04:13] Renfred**
You're a child. Do as you like.
**[04:15] Alice**
Isn't it part of a parent's job
to support their kid's dreams?!
**[04:19] Renfred**
Jeez...
**[04:22] Renfred**
I'd hoped to give you a goal that you
could work towards for a while.
**[04:25] Renfred**
I never thought you'd get so obsessed.
**[04:30] Alice**
How is it any different
from a kid who wants
**[04:33] Alice**
to be a firefighter
actually becoming one?
**[04:35] Alice**
It happens all the time.
**[04:39] Renfred**
Do you hate it that much when
I treat you like my daughter?
**[04:51] Chise**
Zoe?
**[04:53] Zoe**
Chise.
**[04:54] Chise**
Are you all right?
**[04:55] Zoe**
Yeah.
**[04:57] Zoe**
This place is scary, though.
**[05:00] Zoe**
I feel like I'm being watched.
**[05:04] Zoe**
Not by faeries or spirits, though.
**[05:08] Chise**
I think you're right.
**[05:10] Chise**
It's not just living things,
but also dead things.
**[05:14] Zoe**
Is that because it's Hallowe'en?
**[05:16] Chise**
I don't know.
**[05:17] Chise**
Still, be careful.
**[05:19] Chise**
You probably shouldn't be on your own.
**[05:22] Zoe**
Yeah.
**[05:23] Zoe**
We have to gather stuff, too, though.
**[05:25] Chise**
Yeah...
**[05:32] Rian**
Found one.
**[05:43] Philomela**
Torch, burn the wicked being.
**[05:50] Philomela**
That's a beast that uses
the form of a flower as bait.
**[05:55] Rian**
You've always been so skilled.
**[05:57] Rian**
It's true now, just as much as before.
**[06:00] Rian**
So what's your problem?
**[06:02] Philomela**
I'm not good enough for my grandmother.
**[06:06] Rian**
I'm asking about what *you* want!
**[06:10] Philomela**
You'd never understand.
**[06:13] Rian**
Especially if you don't *tell* me!
**[06:20] Isaac**
That's the thing about you.
**[06:25] Alice**
My dad was a piece of shit.
**[06:29] Alice**
You're not like him.
**[06:32] Renfred**
Regardless, if you're ever in grave
danger, I'll continue stepping up.
**[06:38] Alice**
But why?!
**[06:40] Renfred**
Because I was protected like that as well.
**[06:44] Renfred**
By my father.
**[06:46] Alice**
Like how, though?
**[06:52] Renfred**
If it bothers you,
I'll start getting involved.
**[06:56] Alice**
Seriously, what does that even mean?!
**[06:59] Alice**
Don't run off!
**[07:01] Renfred**
Even I have things that
I don't like talking about.
**[07:04] Alice**
Hey!
**[07:06] Alice**
You haven't been eating
much lately, have you?!
**[07:08] Alice**
You've got such a wussy face!
**[07:10] Alice**
You'd better eat!
**[07:12] Renfred**
As should you.
**[07:13] Renfred**
I hope you aren't still a fussy
eater when I'm not watching.
**[07:17] Alice**
I'm not!
**[07:20] Alice**
I'm still not getting anywhere.
**[07:26] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
That's just fine.
**[07:28] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
There are some things only kids can do.
**[07:32] Alice**
What did he mean, he was protected?
**[07:36] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
Who knows?
**[07:38] Alice**
Do you think Adolf knows anything?
**[07:43] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
What, you're gonna expose him?
**[07:46] Alice**
It's his own fault for making it sound
like he's hiding something important.
**[07:50] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
Good, good.
**[07:51] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
Get upset about it.
**[07:53] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
That's when you're at your best.
**[07:57] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
I smell flames burning.
**[08:00] Will-o'-the-Wisp**
No sense in sitting idly
and fizzling out like peat.
**[08:12] Zoe**
That's quite a few.
**[08:15] Zoe**
Huh?
**[08:16] Zoe**
Chise...
**[08:18] Zoe**
Crap!
**[08:19] Zoe**
I got too focused!
**[08:26] Zoe**
After I collected so many?
**[08:33] Birdhead**
I smell mixed blood.
**[08:38] Birdhead**
What are you?
**[08:40] Myriapod**
Hey, now.
**[08:41] Myriapod**
He's wearing a student trainee outfit.
**[08:44] Myriapod**
You might be punished if you hurt him.
**[08:47] Birdhead**
They won't miss one kid.
**[08:50] Zoe**
Wh-Who are you people?!
**[08:53] Birdhead**
You're a student here. You ought to know.
**[08:56] Birdhead**
We're buddies.
**[08:58] Zoe**
You're sorcerers?
**[09:02] Birdhead**
What kind of demi-human are you, though?
**[09:05] Birdhead**
Something sandy, something watery...
**[09:11] Zoe**
I can do it.
**[09:13] Zoe**
I can do it.
**[09:15] Zoe**
I did it last time.
**[09:17] Zoe**
I have to do it!
**[09:23] Zoe**
Stay frozen forever!
**[09:28] Birdhead**
Gorgon!
**[09:32] Zoe**
Chise...
**[09:37] Seth**
Weren't you told to stay here?
**[09:39] Seth**
At least get permission before you leave.
**[09:43] Lucy**
I'm the one who's gonna be miserable
if something happens to them.
**[09:48] Lucy**
Don't you get it?!
**[09:49] Seth**
The administrators are on it.
**[09:51] Seth**
There is no problem.
**[09:53] Lucy**
Stop it.
**[09:54] Lucy**
The way you talk creeps me out.
**[09:57] Seth**
What is it about me that upsets you, Lucy?
**[10:04] Lucy**
Just leave me alone.
**[10:07] Lucy**
You already left me once before.
**[10:10] Lucy**
Don't act like you're my parent now.
**[10:13] Seth**
Lucy!
**[10:21] Chise**
Zoe?
**[10:23] Chise**
Zoe!
**[10:30] Chise**
Sir?
**[10:32] Zaccheroni**
You got me.
**[10:34] Zaccheroni**
You're *her*, aren't you?
**[10:36] Zaccheroni**
The girl who got bought by a mage
at the London auction last winter.
**[10:42] Zaccheroni**
The Sleigh Beggy.
**[10:48] Zaccheroni**
You even have all your parts.
**[10:54] Chise**
Don't touch me!
**[10:58] Chise**
You aren't our instructor, are you?
**[11:00] Zaccheroni**
I never said I was.
**[11:04] Zaccheroni**
I'm a sorcerer bound to the waste tower.
**[11:08] Chise**
Bound?
**[11:11] Zaccheroni**
I never would have thought
I'd find a Sleigh Beggy here.
**[11:17] Zaccheroni**
I want you.
**[11:25] Chise & Joseph**
I know way more about those
kinds of tricks than you do.
**[11:34] Zaccheroni**
So there's another inside you!
**[11:38] Zaccheroni**
A rather old one at that, too.
**[11:41] Zaccheroni**
You don't need to be that
freak's disciple, do you?
**[11:45] Zaccheroni**
You could go on by yourself.
**[11:48] Zaccheroni**
Or...
**[11:50] Zaccheroni**
You could let me take you.
**[11:53] Zaccheroni**
I'd treat you way gentler
than that *thing* ever could.
**[11:57] Zaccheroni**
He doesn't even know how valuable you are—
**[12:00] Chise**
That man...
**[12:03] Chise**
That man treated me like a person.
**[12:09] Chise**
So I'd never become yours.
**[12:13] Chise**
Nor do I need you.
**[12:18] Zaccheroni**
That's some romantic talk.
**[12:21] Zaccheroni**
Oh, well.
**[12:23] Zaccheroni**
They do say you don't want to
mess with a monster's treasures.
**[12:28] Zaccheroni**
Then again, you may be just
as much a monster yourself.
**[12:33] Zaccheroni**
That makes for quite a few monsters here.
**[12:37] Chise**
What are you talking about?
**[12:39] Zaccheroni**
You see that, don't you?
**[12:43] Zaccheroni**
Which means you've killed
someone, haven't you?
**[12:51] Zoe**
Chise!
**[12:53] Zoe**
Where are you?!
**[12:55] Chise**
Zoe.
**[12:57] Zaccheroni**
Our time's about up.
**[12:59] Zaccheroni**
You're always welcome to
participate if you feel like it.
**[13:06] Alice**
Adolf's on break...
**[13:13] Alice**
Sorry.
**[13:14] Alice**
Huh?
**[13:17] Alice**
You're...
**[13:18] Alice**
Chise's roommate, aren't you?
**[13:21] Alice**
Did I hurt you?
**[13:23] Lucy**
No...
**[13:23] Alice**
Err...
**[13:25] Alice**
Is something wrong?
**[13:31] Alice**
Here, you can have this.
**[13:33] Alice**
I know the feeling.
**[13:42] Ruth**
Chise!
**[13:44] Wachmann**
Are you all okay?
**[13:46] Chise, Zoe & Isaac**
Huh?
**[13:48] Isaac**
Uh, and you're...
**[13:50] Wachmann**
I'm the actual supervisor.
**[13:52] Wachmann**
Who let you in?
**[13:56] Wachmann**
Zaccheroni!
**[13:58] Zaccheroni**
You're in charge, but you
weren't here. What was I to do?
**[14:01] Wachmann**
These students haven't
even signed a waiver!
**[14:04] Zaccheroni**
Here.
**[14:09] Zaccheroni**
I've got plenty of the materials
you've been looking for, too.
**[14:12] Wachmann**
I'm reporting this to our superiors.
**[14:15] Zaccheroni**
Go right ahead.
**[14:18] Zaccheroni**
I think there's someone else
you need to be more worried about.
**[14:23] Zaccheroni**
In the College, I mean.
**[14:31] Seth**
Lucy!
**[14:36] Seth**
Lucy...
**[15:08] Seth**
You're right, Lucy. I'm a loser.
**[15:12] Seth**
I'm a failure. I'm not cut out
to take over the business.
**[15:17] Seth**
So I thought I was finally free
when they told me to leave.
**[15:23] Seth**
That you'd be fine without me,
because everyone loved you.
**[15:29] Seth**
I'm sorry.
**[15:33] Lucy**
I'm the one who needs to apologize.
**[15:38] Lucy**
I kept telling myself I had to hate you.
**[15:43] Lucy**
That if you hated the family and me
along with it, I had no choice.
**[15:48] Lucy**
I knew everyone was treating you coldly.
**[15:54] Lucy**
There was so much for me to learn,
I wasn't thinking about you at all.
**[16:01] Lucy**
And when you left, there was no
one who saw me for who I was.
**[16:09] Lucy**
I despised everyone.
**[16:13] Lucy**
But everyone took pride in what they
were making and caring for the spiders.
**[16:19] Lucy**
The spiders weren't guilty
of anything, either.
**[16:24] Lucy**
It isn't right that they were
murdered the way they were.
**[16:27] Lucy**
It isn't right that they were ripped
apart and torn to shreds.
**[16:32] Lucy**
I'm going to find who was behind it!
**[16:36] Lucy**
I'm going to study, master
sorcery, and become powerful!
**[16:39] Lucy**
Even if I have to use my name as bait!
**[16:42] Seth**
Lucy!
**[16:43] Lucy**
You can't stop me.
**[16:47] Lucy**
I couldn't come to hate our family enough
to forget what I saw and move on.
**[16:55] Seth**
Lucy and I grew up in different environments
and having seen different things.
**[16:59] Seth**
There's no changing that fact.
**[17:06] Seth**
I can't hold onto my anger
the same way you can.
**[17:11] Seth**
But Lucy, I always worry for you.
**[17:16] Seth**
Believe me on that, if nothing else.
**[17:19] Lucy**
I know that.
**[17:27] Zoe**
We're back!
**[17:30] Isaac**
It's the principal.
**[17:32] Students**
Hello.
**[17:34] Liza**
Hello.
**[17:35] Liza**
I'm glad to see you're all well.
**[17:37] Chise**
Elias.
**[17:38] Chise**
Why are you here?
**[17:40] Elias**
I was asked to help with
what she's about to do.
**[17:45] Liza**
Sergeant.
**[17:46] Liza**
I'm glad to see you here.
**[17:48] Liza**
There's something I'd like to ask you.
**[17:54] Lizbeth**
That won't be necessary, Principal Quillyn.
**[17:59] Philomela**
Grandmother?
**[18:02] Liza**
You must be the Sergeant family
head, Lizbeth Sergeant.
**[18:06] Liza**
Your reputation precedes you.
**[18:08] Liza**
You must not be well,
to come as your servant bird.
**[18:13] Lizbeth**
For such an important figure such as
yourself to have a stroll here...
**[18:18] Lizbeth**
You must be quite adept at
making time for yourself.
**[18:22] Lizbeth**
I'm jealous.
**[18:23] Liza**
They do say you'll become stiff
if you sit at your desk all day.
**[18:28] Liza**
Besides, I have the pleasure of being
able to speak to each of the students.
**[18:33] Lizbeth**
I'm glad you enjoy your work.
**[18:38] Lizbeth**
I haven't had such
opportunities in my old age.
**[18:43] Lizbeth**
A letter would never do, so I wished
to speak with you directly.
**[18:50] Lizbeth**
About Philomela's withdrawal.
**[18:53] Liza**
You'd best be off, everyone.
**[18:56] Liza**
It's time for afternoon tea.
**[18:58] Rian**
Principal, what is...
**[19:00] Lizbeth**
You stay, Philomela.
**[19:04] Liza**
No.
**[19:05] Liza**
If the withdrawal is due to
the family's circumstances,
**[19:08] Liza**
it's for the College and
the family to discuss.
**[19:12] Liza**
So long as she has the desire
to continue her studies.
**[19:17] Lizbeth**
The desire...
**[19:19] Lizbeth**
She has no such thing.
**[19:22] Lizbeth**
She's a failure who can't even
perform her duties, after all.
**[19:29] Zoe**
What the hell?!
**[19:37] Rian**
Isaac!
**[19:41] Philomela**
Why...
**[19:46] Chise**
Elias, I'll see you later.
**[19:49] Elias**
Sure.
**[19:55] Liza**
My apologies.
**[19:56] Liza**
He seems to be quite the youthful one.
**[19:59] Liza**
You have a rather traditional
way of thinking.
**[20:03] Liza**
However...
**[20:06] Rose**
Indeed.
**[20:07] Rose**
How very, very irritating.
**[20:09] Camellia**
I don't understand.
**[20:11] Olivia**
It doesn't make sense.
**[20:12] Rose**
Tell her, Liza.
**[20:13] Olivia**
Bite her!
**[20:15] Lizbeth**
The College's protectors?
**[20:17] Liza**
Oh, you know of them?
**[20:21] Liza**
By the way, I shall have to inform you...
**[20:25] Liza**
The College will hereby be sealed.
**[20:28] Lizbeth**
Sealed?
**[20:30] Lizbeth**
What do you mean by this?
**[20:31] Cats**
Fly, fly, bird.
**[20:34] Cats**
Winged, winged rodent.
**[20:36] Cats**
I'll chase you. I'll catch you.
I'll tear you apart.
**[20:39] Liza**
We've had a string of incidents where students
were harmed in the College's vicinity.
**[20:46] Liza**
We'll be closing it off for a while
as a security measure.
**[20:50] Lizbeth**
I haven't heard such news—
**[20:52] Liza**
It's an urgent matter.
**[20:54] Liza**
Guardians will be officially
informed at a later date.
**[20:57] Cats**
My fangs are sharp.
**[21:00] Cats**
My ears are big.
**[21:03] Cats**
My whiskers quiver.
**[21:06] Cats**
My eyes watch.
**[21:09] Cats**
I know you're there.
**[21:12] Cats**
I can hear you there.
**[21:14] Cats**
I can see you there.
**[21:17] Cats**
I'll chase you. I'll catch
you. I'll tear you apart.
**[21:20] Liza**
With that, farewell.
**[21:24] Liza**
That was too early, you three.
**[21:28] Camellia**
She was just so infuriating.
**[21:30] Rose**
She was!
**[21:31] Elias**
I see.
**[21:33] Elias**
They're cat-sìths.
**[21:35] Elias**
I've never heard of them following
people's orders, though.
**[21:38] Liza**
They aren't following orders.
**[21:41] Liza**
We're equals.
**[21:44] Liza**
Now, do you see any
inadequacies in their magic?
**[21:49] Elias**
Not really.
**[21:51] Elias**
I wouldn't have needed to get involved.
**[21:55] Elias**
Ah.
**[21:56] Elias**
I thought I'd severed her magic power.
**[22:00] Elias**
You aren't a mere puppet, are you?
**[22:03] Alcyone**
I'm Lady Philomela's...
**[22:12] Lizbeth**
So, it's true that the new
principal is uncivilized.
**[22:18] Lizbeth**
Very well.
**[22:21] Lizbeth**
Just as I'd hoped, I have some time now.

**[00:17] Principal**
"To all students,
**[00:20] Principal**
There has been a string of attacks
on our students and their guardians.
**[00:28] Principal**
In addition, many have fallen ill as a result
of an unexplained loss of magic power.
**[00:36] Principal**
We are in the middle of
investigating the causes
**[00:45] Principal**
behind each incident and their
possible connections to each other.
**[00:52] Principal**
In the meantime, we have determined
that the College is in grave danger,
**[00:58] Principal**
so for the safety of
students and staff, we will thus
**[01:04] Principal**
close the premises, both physically and
by sorcery, until there is a resolution."
**[01:24] Ariel**
Chise's in London right now, isn't she?
**[01:31] Ariel**
Ow!
**[01:33] Ariel**
Hey!
**[01:34] Ariel**
What's this about?!
**[03:18] Isaac**
You're really leaving the school?
**[03:21] Philomela**
If Grandmother says so, I am.
**[03:25] Zoe**
But...
**[03:27] Philomela**
I was never supposed to be
here at the College, anyway.
**[03:31] Rian**
The Sergeant family doesn't think
very highly of the College.
**[03:37] Zoe**
But your grandmother just said
**[03:39] Zoe**
Philomela's been here because
the Rickenbackers demanded it.
**[03:44] Chise**
The Rickenbackers are
Veronica's family, right?
**[03:50] Isaac**
It's all right.
**[03:52] Isaac**
You don't have to tell us
if you don't want to.
**[03:55] Isaac**
This is obviously weighing on you.
**[03:58] Chise**
He's right.
**[04:00] Rian**
She's not going to talk, anyway.
**[04:03] Isaac**
Seriously, why are you so mean to her?
**[04:08] Rian**
Why are *you* so nice to her?
**[04:13] Isaac**
I'd rather not tell you, Rian.
**[04:15] Rian**
Wha—
**[04:16] Chise**
This doesn't happen often.
**[04:19] Philomela**
The Sergeant family has served the
Rickenbacker family for a long time.
**[04:25] Philomela**
I've served Miss Veronica
since we were little, too.
**[04:29] Philomela**
Which is why I came to the College with her.
**[04:33] Zoe**
B-But then, by "serve," you
mean she's your master, right?
**[04:38] Zoe**
Why are you suddenly leaving when
your master ordered you to be here?
**[04:44] Philomela**
I don't know why I was told to come along.
**[04:50] Philomela**
It's like Grandmother says.
**[04:52] Philomela**
I can never do anything right, either way.
**[04:58] Alcyone**
Lady Philomela.
**[05:01] Alcyone**
I've been looking for you.
**[05:03] Philomela**
Alcyone.
**[05:04] Chise**
She's from earlier.
**[05:06] Philomela**
It's all right.
**[05:07] Philomela**
She's basically my supervisor.
**[05:11] Alcyone**
I'm an artificial fairy made to serve the
Sergeant family and thus Lady Philomela.
**[05:17] Chise & Zoe**
An artificial fairy?
**[05:20] Isaac**
A bodyless entity that's made
to be a sorcerer's servant.
**[05:24] Chise**
Fairies can be made artificially?
**[05:28] Isaac**
It's supposed to be pretty
high-level sorcery.
**[05:31] Alcyone**
Correct.
**[05:34] Alcyone**
The man who created me
was a gifted sorcerer.
**[05:41] Chise**
She kind of reminds me of Elias.
**[05:46] Isaac**
But why is she here?
**[05:48] Zoe**
Are you here to drag her back home?
**[05:52] Alcyone**
I've been trapped inside.
**[05:55] Zoe & Isaac**
Trapped?
**[05:56] Alcyone**
Inside.
**[05:58] Alcyone**
The College was sealed both
physically as well as by sorcery.
**[06:03] Alcyone**
Because I was given form to accomplish
some mundane tasks, I cannot leave.
**[06:09] Alcyone**
Thus, I will be in your care for a while.
**[06:13] All**
Huh?
**[06:22] Elias**
Morning.
**[06:24] Simeon**
Morning, Mr. Ainsworth!
**[06:27] Elias**
Can you get up?
**[06:30] Simeon**
Yes, thank you.
**[06:31] Simeon**
I'm quite a bit better.
**[06:32] Elias**
The College was sealed off.
**[06:35] Simeon**
Sealed off?
**[06:36] Simeon**
Do we know that the attacker's
on the outside now?
**[06:40] Elias**
I suppose that's the question
this all is meant to answer.
**[06:43] Simeon**
I see.
**[06:46] Simeon**
Thanks.
**[06:49] Simeon**
You came here just to check up on me, huh?
**[06:51] Simeon**
I've gotten myself a great friend.
**[06:54] Elias**
Eh?
**[06:57] Elias**
I don't know much about friends,
**[07:01] Elias**
but you can call yourself that just for
paying someone a visit while they're ill?
**[07:06] Simeon**
Worrying about someone, caring for them,
**[07:08] Simeon**
thinking about them for no
reason in particular...
**[07:10] Simeon**
I think that's enough to
call someone a friend.
**[07:14] Simeon**
If you hated me, you'd
be glad I'm suffering.
**[07:18] Elias**
I see.
**[07:19] Elias**
In that case, I may have several
friends, including you.
**[07:23] Elias**
About two more.
**[07:25] Simeon**
That's great.
**[07:27] Elias**
No, three?
**[07:28] Elias**
Four?
**[07:30] Elias**
So they weren't just acquaintances.
**[07:35] Simeon**
My new friend here sure is amusing.
**[07:48] Lucy**
I'm allowed to sleep in my own room now.
**[07:52] Chise**
Okay.
**[07:53] Chise**
That's good.
**[08:53] Student A**
Morning.
**[08:54] Student B**
Did you hear?
**[08:55] Student B**
We're supposed to gather at the garden
in our tracksuits for the first hour.
**[08:57] Student A**
The yard for my class.
**[08:59] Student C**
What's all this about a closure?
**[09:00] Student D**
Why do we have to deal with this
first thing in the morning?
**[09:05] Beatrice**
We're supposed to gather at
the training grounds, apparently.
**[09:10] Kevin**
The College is sealed off? Seriously?
**[09:12] Roy**
When are they letting us out?
**[09:14] Kevin**
D-Definitely by Christmas, I'd bet.
**[09:17] Roy**
That's two whole months away.
**[09:19] Martin**
Are we really safe while we're trapped in here?
**[09:21] Lazarus**
Who knows.
**[09:25] Chise**
I didn't sleep well last night.
**[09:28] Chise**
I've had too much to think about.
**[09:30] Lucy**
Sleep deprived?
**[09:32] Chise**
No.
**[09:33] Chise**
I'm all right.
**[09:34] Lucy**
Fine.
**[09:36] Chise**
Lucy looks weirdly refreshed.
**[09:39] Zoe**
Lucy! You made it back!
**[09:42] Zoe**
That's great!
**[09:43] Lucy**
Yeah.
**[09:45] Roy**
I'm not even getting a signal on my phone!
**[09:47] Lazarus**
My login bonus!
**[09:50] Beatrice**
The curriculum's changing because
of the closure, too, right?
**[09:53] Sofia**
I wonder what we're doing.
**[09:54] Zoe**
Everyone's talking about the closure.
**[09:57] Rian**
Apparently closures do
happen every now and then.
**[10:00] Chise**
Really?
**[10:02] Rian**
The College has a number of enemies.
**[10:04] Rian**
It houses a lot of important
artifacts and documents.
**[10:10] Chise**
Anyone with magic and sorcery could get out.
**[10:15] Chise**
Why did they steal the magic book?
**[10:19] Chise**
What are they trying to do with
the magic power they've stolen?
**[10:24] Zaccheroni**
A closure. I love it.
**[10:27] Zaccheroni**
I think it's an interesting
opportunity, personally.
**[10:31] Chise**
Zaccheroni.
**[10:33] Chise**
Why are you here?
**[10:36] Zaccheroni**
Just lending a helping
hand during the closure.
**[10:40] Zaccheroni**
You should stop with that
vicious death glare.
**[10:47] Wachmann**
Zaccheroni!
**[10:50] Wachmann**
Please stop leaving on your own.
**[10:53] Lucy**
It's Ms. Wachmann.
**[10:55] Isaac**
Sorry, what's the first class going to be?
**[10:59] Zaccheroni**
You know how the school's been
sealed off since yesterday?
**[11:02] Zaccheroni**
At times like these, you get
more mandatory lessons.
**[11:06] Zoe**
Mandatory lesson?
**[11:25] Wachmann**
Zaccheroni, be sure you keep it
within the scope of the class.
**[11:29] Zaccheroni**
I know, Wachmann.
**[11:47] Zaccheroni**
Destroy my familiars, and you'll pass.
**[11:55] Zaccheroni**
I'm Fabio Zaccheroni.
**[11:58] Zaccheroni**
This is my supervisor, Sigrid Wachmann.
**[12:01] Zaccheroni**
We'll be providing an important
mandatory lesson today.
**[12:11] Zaccheroni**
First off, I'll be handing these out.
**[12:14] Zaccheroni**
Don't lose them.
**[12:18] Chise**
A protective rune talisman.
**[12:21] Chise**
And modeling clay and a rock.
**[12:24] Zaccheroni**
These talismans make you more resilient.
**[12:28] Zaccheroni**
You know how to use them, correct?
**[12:31] Chise**
Do I just channel magic power into it?
**[12:38] Zaccheroni**
The fact that the College was sealed off
means there are enemies on the outside.
**[12:44] Zaccheroni**
Which is why we add these lessons.
**[12:48] Zaccheroni**
The idea is that you should be able to at least
fight back, should it ever come to that.
**[12:53] Zaccheroni**
Picture a weapon or tool
you might find useful into that clay.
**[12:58] Chise**
A weapon?
**[13:08] Beatrice**
What should I make?
**[13:10] Kevin**
I can't settle on a shape.
**[13:12] Zaccheroni**
Picture something clearly and precisely.
**[13:15] Zaccheroni**
It can be anything.
**[13:16] Zaccheroni**
A knife, a stick...
**[13:19] Zaccheroni**
No guns, though.
**[13:20] Zaccheroni**
There's a trick to those.
**[13:22] Martin**
Sir...
**[13:24] Martin**
Why are we using weapons to fight back?
**[13:27] Martin**
Shouldn't we use our sorcery?
**[13:35] Zaccheroni**
Do you really think you're ready for that?
**[13:40] Zaccheroni**
It's a lot easier to kill by
stabbing or hitting or shooting.
**[13:45] Zaccheroni**
Or *crushing*, maybe.
**[13:52] Wachmann**
Zaccheroni!
**[13:56] Kevin**
Martin!
**[13:58] Kevin**
Are you all right?
**[13:59] Zaccheroni**
The talismans seem to work.
**[14:02] Kevin & Roy**
Are you serious?
**[14:11] Zaccheroni**
Well, get set up and into position.
**[14:15] Zaccheroni**
Just so you know, you'd better take this
seriously, or it'll hurt pretty bad.
**[14:28] Chise**
We're trapped inside.
**[14:31] Chise**
Plus... a weapon?
**[14:33] Chise**
I've never used a weapon before!
**[14:45] Chise**
My body...
**[14:48] Chise**
It's moving on its own.
**[15:03] Chise**
I never learned to do that.
**[15:10] Chise**
How can I act so decisively?
**[15:39] Chise**
It broke.
**[15:42] Zaccheroni**
Wow, you two are fast.
**[15:45] Zaccheroni**
I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
**[15:48] Zaccheroni**
You've got experience.
**[15:50] Zaccheroni**
Wanna have some fun?
**[15:59] Isaac**
I'd be dead if I didn't have the talisman.
**[16:03] Isaac**
I'm not a user so much as I am a maker!
**[16:21] Isaac**
I'm so not cut out for fighting.
**[16:53] Philomela**
Are you all right?
**[16:59] Isaac**
Oh, yeah.
**[17:01] Isaac**
I'm fine.
**[17:02] Isaac**
Thanks.
**[17:04] Isaac**
You didn't get all scuffed up or anything.
**[17:08] Isaac**
You're amazing, Philomela.
**[17:14] Isaac**
Philomela!
**[17:17] Philomela**
I have to be able to do this going forward.
**[17:22] Isaac**
Did someone tell you that?
**[17:26] Isaac**
I think you're awesome, though.
**[17:48] Zoe**
Damn it!
**[17:49] Zoe**
I should have learned how to
use the spear more from Mom.
**[17:57] Zoe**
I just gotta do what I can—
**[18:03] Jasmine**
Done...
**[18:06] Violet**
Jasmine, your nose is bleeding.
**[18:08] Jasmine**
That was pretty rough.
**[18:11] Jasmine**
I wonder if everyone else is done.
**[18:17] Jasmine**
What's that sound?
**[18:24] Chise**
My body moves, but I can't do much more
with a staff than swing it around.
**[18:38] Rian**
Chise!
**[18:39] Rian**
Swing it to the side with all you've got!
**[18:58] Wachmann**
That's enough, both of you.
**[19:03] Wachmann**
Good work.
**[19:05] Wachmann**
Everyone's passed.
**[19:07] Zaccheroni**
How could you deny me like that, Wachmann?
**[19:11] Wachmann**
I told you to keep it within
the scope of the lesson.
**[19:14] Wachmann**
If you're not satisfied, I'll
tear you a new one later.
**[19:22] Zaccheroni**
That was good enough for your first time.
**[19:27] Zaccheroni**
Who among you were scared?
**[19:34] Zaccheroni**
You two, don't lie.
**[19:37] Zaccheroni**
Looks like quite a few of you
had a miserable time, too.
**[19:40] Zaccheroni**
You didn't have time to even think
about using sorcery, did you?
**[19:45] Zaccheroni**
Do you think you're old enough for that?
**[19:47] Zaccheroni**
Do you think you have the capacity?
**[19:51] Zaccheroni**
Whether you use sorcery or a weapon,
whether you run away or fight back...
**[19:56] Zaccheroni**
It's up to you in the end
to take care of yourself.
**[20:00] Zaccheroni**
Think about how you plan to survive.
**[20:02] Zaccheroni**
And...
**[20:05] Zaccheroni**
Don't you dare hesitate.
**[20:08] Zaccheroni**
Got it, my little sorcerers-in-training?
**[20:14] Wachmann**
The lesson is over.
**[20:16] Wachmann**
Let's have a little chat about
your teaching style.
**[20:20] Zaccheroni**
Seriously, that hurts.
**[20:22] Zaccheroni**
How are you so damn strong?
**[20:25] April**
Philomela?
**[20:30] Chise**
What's wrong?
**[20:31] April**
She seems to be feeling sick.
**[20:33] Veronica**
Let's go to the nurse's office.
**[20:35] Philomela**
No...
**[20:36] Philomela**
I'm fine.
**[20:38] Lucy**
You don't look fine at all.
**[20:48] Chise**
I'll take her to the nurse's office.
**[20:51] Chise**
Could you please let the next teacher know?
**[20:54] Isaac**
Of course.
**[20:55] Isaac**
Be safe.
**[20:57] Zoe**
I've noticed for a while now...
**[20:59] Zoe**
Chise's pretty strong, isn't she?
**[21:01] Rian**
Yeah.
**[21:03] Veronica**
Take care of Philomela for us.
**[21:05] Veronica**
She's always been a bit sickly.
**[21:10] Chise**
Okay.
**[21:16] Chise**
Veronica knows about Philomela's family
**[21:18] Chise**
and about how she's being forced to
leave the College, doesn't she?
**[21:23] Chise**
I wonder what she thinks of it...
**[21:33] Chise**
You, too, Lucy?
**[21:34] Lucy**
I used up all my energy back there.
**[21:37] Lucy**
I'll collapse if I'm not close to you.
**[21:40] Chise**
Ah.
**[21:42] Philomela**
Don't take me to the nurse's office.
**[21:46] Lucy**
Don't be crazy. Look at you.
**[21:50] Philomela**
At least take me to my room.
**[22:03] Izak**
What's this "dangerous gig" about?
**[22:06] Marielle**
I said it's a *good* gig.
**[22:10] Izak**
What the hell?!
**[22:13] Marielle**
Pretty good money, isn't it?
**[22:15] Marielle**
Finding lost treasure.
**[22:17] Marielle**
Specifically, a magic book that's being
used in some really sketchy ways.

**[00:02] Werewolf (female)**
Give them back.
**[00:15] Werewolf (female)**
Give them back.
**[00:18] Werewolf (female)**
Give them back!
**[00:20] Werewolf (female)**
Give us back our children!
**[00:22] Werewolf (female)**
Bring our children back to our pack!
**[00:29] Werewolf (female)**
Give them back!
**[01:10] Marielle**
Whoa, what's gotten into you?
**[01:13] Izak**
Nothing...
**[01:15] Izak**
Someone just cried somewhere.
**[01:19] Marielle**
Say what?
**[01:21] Izak**
I wonder what they're grieving over.
**[03:03] Student A**
Hold it!
**[03:04] Student B**
Come on!
**[03:05] Student C**
Now what?
**[03:07] Student D**
Whoa, whoa, what's that?!
**[03:09] Zoe**
There.
**[03:13] Zoe**
Why are we tilling fields
**[03:15] Zoe**
right after we've gotten the crap
beaten out of us by monsters?
**[03:19] Isaac**
With the College closed, we're going
to have to grow our own food.
**[03:32] Zoe**
Hey.
**[03:33] Zoe**
We were just talking about how
awesome you were back there, Rian.
**[03:36] Rian**
Ah.
**[03:38] Rian**
My family needs to be quick to react.
**[03:42] Isaac**
You weren't like that in the past, though.
**[03:46] Isaac**
You even sucked at climbing trees.
**[03:51] Rian**
I just hated losing.
**[03:55] Isaac**
Huh...
**[03:56] Isaac**
Losing to who?
**[03:58] Rian**
I don't want to tell you.
**[04:00] Isaac**
Wow.
**[04:02] Zoe**
I-In the past, huh?
**[04:05] Zoe**
Have you two been friends
since you were little?
**[04:09] Isaac**
Our families have business together.
**[04:12] Whoopi**
You there!
**[04:13] Whoopi**
I want to see your hands working!
**[04:15] All**
Okay.
**[04:25] Alcyone**
Lady Philomela.
**[04:27] Chise**
Alcyone-san, was it?
**[04:30] Chise**
Philomela doesn't seem to be feeling well.
**[04:35] Chise**
I'm putting you down.
**[04:40] Lucy**
Who's she?
**[04:41] Chise**
Something like Philomela's familiar, I guess.
**[04:45] Lucy**
What's up with that vague answer?
**[04:50] Chise**
Are you all right?
**[04:52] Lucy**
I'll get some water.
**[04:53] Chise**
Thanks. Please do.
**[05:02] Chise**
Her room's so empty.
**[05:06] Alcyone**
What was the class?
**[05:08] Chise**
We each had to destroy a familiar.
**[05:11] Alcyone**
This one is very adverse
to destroying things.
**[05:16] Alcyone**
She always falls ill.
**[05:19] Chise**
Always?
**[05:21] Chise**
She collapsed the first time we met, too.
**[05:24] Alcyone**
Did she?
**[05:28] Chise**
Um...
**[05:29] Chise**
Alcyone-san...
**[05:31] Alcyone**
Yes?
**[05:32] Chise**
Is Philomela...
**[05:40] Philomela**
Why do you worry about me so much?
**[05:47] Philomela**
I'm always spying on you and Zoe.
**[05:52] Philomela**
I don't try to talk in front of others.
**[05:55] Philomela**
You ought to be suspicious of me.
**[06:03] Chise**
You're right.
**[06:05] Chise**
The first time I met you,
you weren't feeling well,
**[06:11] Chise**
and yet you responded to me just to be nice.
**[06:14] Chise**
You even thanked me.
**[06:17] Chise**
And, well... To me, you look
like you're in a lot of pain.
**[06:26] Chise**
I was like that until just recently, too.
**[06:29] Chise**
So I thought I might be
able to hear you out.
**[06:35] Chise**
Oh, but if there's anything you
don't want to tell me, that's okay.
**[06:40] Chise**
If there's something you
want to say to me, you can.
**[06:43] Chise**
You're free to do as you like.
**[06:47] Chise**
Being free is hard,
**[06:50] Chise**
but even if you make a mistake or
you fail, you can always try again.
**[06:55] Chise**
It'll be all right.
**[07:00] Philomela**
I don't understand you.
**[07:04] Philomela**
Freedom?
**[07:06] Philomela**
I can fail?
**[07:09] Philomela**
No one's ever told me that.
**[07:14] Lucy**
I brought water.
**[07:16] Chise**
Thanks, Lucy.
**[07:20] Lucy**
I don't get what this
do-gooder's thinking, either.
**[07:24] Chise**
I'm sure it's just an inflated ego.
**[07:28] Lucy**
What's wrong?
**[07:29] Lucy**
Drink up.
**[07:30] Lucy**
You'll feel a bit better.
**[07:35] Lucy**
Fine.
**[07:37] Lucy**
Let's go, Chise.
**[07:39] Chise**
Yeah, you're right.
**[07:41] Chise**
I don't want to overstay my welcome.
**[07:43] Chise**
Don't push yourself too hard. Get some rest.
**[07:47] Philomela**
Thank you.
**[07:54] Lucy**
I wasted that water.
**[07:58] Lucy**
"You mustn't drink, eat, or use
anything someone else gives you.
**[08:05] Lucy**
There's no telling what's in it."
**[08:08] Lucy**
That's what some families preach.
**[08:12] Lucy**
Seems her family's that way, too.
**[08:14] Chise**
Which means...
**[08:17] (Flashback) Chise**
Could you give me some feedback someday?
**[08:20] (Flashback) Philomela**
Th-Thanks.
**[08:24] Lucy**
What?
**[08:25] Chise**
I really am egotistic.
**[08:29] Chise**
Also, Philomela is actually kind.
**[08:33] Lucy**
Everyone's got an ego.
**[08:36] Lucy**
I couldn't trust anyone who always grants
other people's wishes at their own expense.
**[08:41] Lucy**
There's no telling what
they might do someday.
**[08:47] Chise**
You're kind, too.
**[08:50] Lucy**
I don't know what *you* might do,
either. I don't trust you.
**[08:53] Chise**
Huh? Where did that come from?
**[09:00] Chise**
There's so much I wanted to ask...
**[09:03] Chise**
But with her in that state,
I couldn't bring myself to do it.
**[09:11] Lucy**
That kid there that day...
**[09:15] Lucy**
They couldn't have killed a person if they
had such a hard time killing a familiar.
**[09:23] Lucy**
I need more leads.
**[09:46] Philomela**
Why?
**[09:49] Philomela**
Why can't I...
**[09:51] Philomela**
Why can't I just have some
water or tea someone's given me?
**[10:02] Alcyone**
In the past...
**[10:05] Philomela**
Alcyone.
**[10:06] Alcyone**
You accepted everything you were told,
no matter how upsetting.
**[10:10] Alcyone**
You would just submit.
**[10:12] Alcyone**
But now, you do not.
**[10:15] Alcyone**
Why is that?
**[10:19] Philomela**
I don't know.
**[10:20] Philomela**
Because she...
**[10:29] Philomela**
I don't know.
**[10:31] Philomela**
But...
**[10:33] Philomela**
But I can't do this anymore.

**[10:45] Philomela**
Alcyone?
**[10:47] Lizbeth**
Philomela, I will no longer tolerate you
wasting the chances that I give you.
**[10:56] Philomela**
Grandmother's voice...
**[10:59] Philomela**
There's no way she could communicate or send
a bird so easily with the College closed off.
**[11:04] Philomela**
A message?
**[11:05] Philomela**
Registered to Alcyone ahead of time?
**[11:09] Lizbeth**
I have no home to provide
a failure like you.
**[11:10] Philomela**
*So... So that I...*
**[11:13] Lizbeth**
If what you gain is something
as silly as friendship,
**[11:17] Lizbeth**
I will have to think of
a way to deal with you.
**[11:18] Philomela**
*I won't run away.*
**[11:21] Lizbeth**
Otherwise, do what you are told.
**[11:24] Lizbeth**
Carry out your role.
**[11:27] Lizbeth**
If you wish to see your father and mother,
**[11:31] Lizbeth**
you shouldn't even have the time to whine.

**[11:40] Alcyone**
Lady Philomela?
**[11:42] Alcyone**
Is something the matter?
**[11:52] Gregory**
Shall I assist you?
**[11:56] Gregory**
You must have been aware of how
troublesome the College's paperwork is.
**[12:01] Liza**
It's been so long, I'd completely forgotten.
**[12:03] Liza**
They're just signatures. I'll manage.
**[12:08] Liza**
Have there since been any more demands
**[12:10] Liza**
from the Sergeant family
that she leaves the school?
**[12:12] Gregory**
None so far.
**[12:14] Gregory**
We're keeping an eye on that
familiar, but from what we can see,
**[12:18] Gregory**
she isn't very capable.
**[12:21] Gregory**
I don't think she's made to accept complex
commands, let alone carry them out.
**[12:27] Gregory**
I doubt she could do more than babysit.
**[12:30] Liza**
I suppose we'll have to wait and see.
**[12:32] Liza**
Has there been anything
noteworthy since the closure?
**[12:35] Gregory**
Not really.
**[12:36] Gregory**
No one's been attacked since then, either.
**[12:39] Gregory**
I suspect the magic book has
already been taken outside.
**[12:45] Liza**
I can't imagine anyone would be
walking around with that thing.
**[12:50] Liza**
If we're lucky, the witches will catch them.
**[13:03] Izak**
Morning.
**[13:04] Marielle**
You're late.
**[13:05] Izak**
Sorry.
**[13:06] Izak**
Well, shall we look for
that missing magic book?
**[13:45] Izak**
Gross!
**[13:46] Marielle**
That's it?
**[13:47] Marielle**
You really are hundreds of
years older than me, huh?
**[13:51] Izak**
You youngins sure know
how to run your mouths!
**[13:53] Izak**
And you've brought me some bizarre work.
**[13:56] Izak**
I would have bitten you if
you weren't one of my own!
**[14:16] Izak**
The scent is faint, but it's that way.
**[14:20] Marielle**
Let's go.
**[14:36] Izak**
How did you manage to read
that magic book, anyway?
**[14:41] Izak**
My brain's still shaking.
**[14:44] Marielle**
It must have been ten...
maybe five years ago.
**[14:48] Marielle**
After Phyllis was forced to be shut in,
I was desperately looking for a solution.
**[14:58] Marielle**
That's when I found a home that was
selling some magic books and tools.
**[15:04] Izak**
How unusual.
**[15:06] Izak**
Isn't that like a sorcerer
selling their soul?
**[15:10] Marielle**
They must have been really
struggling financially.
**[15:13] Izak**
And you bought it?
**[15:16] Marielle**
It would have been a huge waste if I had
**[15:18] Marielle**
and it didn't have
the information I wanted.
**[15:20] Marielle**
So I begged them to let me skim through it.
**[15:23] Marielle**
Though they ended up
charging me quite a bit.
**[15:27] Marielle**
But in the end, I didn't want to take
the heat, so I passed on buying it.
**[15:33] Izak**
I see.
**[15:35] Izak**
Hmm...
**[15:38] Izak**
The scent's definitely getting thinner.
**[15:41] Izak**
It doesn't seem like
they're lying in wait...
**[15:46] Izak**
So much as they're walking
around to throw us off.
**[15:50] Marielle**
I suppose it's time we pay a visit.
**[16:17] Shopkeep**
Well, well.
**[16:19] Shopkeep**
How can I help a witch?
**[16:22] Shopkeep**
You've even brought a werewolf with you.
**[16:25] Izak**
Hey, I'm a witch, too.
**[16:28] Marielle**
Have you seen someone walking
around with a suspicious book?
**[16:31] Shopkeep**
A suspicious book?
**[16:33] Shopkeep**
Never mind that.
**[16:35] Shopkeep**
Look!
**[16:36] Shopkeep**
Trick boxes to keep imps away.
**[16:40] Shopkeep**
I'll make it cheap.
**[16:42] Shopkeep**
Two for one coin.
**[16:44] Shopkeep**
Well?
**[16:51] Marielle**
I'll take five.
**[16:55] Marielle**
I'd like a little more sugar.
**[16:58] Shopkeep**
Very well, very well!
**[17:01] Shopkeep**
I admire a witch who isn't stingy.
**[17:06] Shopkeep**
I was ready to eat you
if you'd held back.
**[17:11] Shopkeep**
Pardon me.
**[17:19] Shopkeep**
What an awful book.
**[17:22] Shopkeep**
Any dunce would notice you
walking around with that.
**[17:30] Shopkeep**
So much of what humans make is imperfect.
**[17:35] Shopkeep**
Should I find what you're
looking for, I'll let you know.
**[17:39] Shopkeep**
Be sure to bring any good coins you find.
**[17:53] Marielle**
Well, tell me where the naughty child is.
**[18:14] Chise**
Is it just me, or...
**[18:15] Rian**
There's a lot.
**[18:17] Chise**
That's what I thought.
**[18:18] Isaac**
Exams are still a thing, even
with the College being closed.
**[18:25] Zoe**
Hey, what does this mean?
**[18:28] Zoe**
I can't figure it out, no matter
how many times I read it.
**[18:32] Chise**
Which one?
**[18:36] Chise**
Oh, this one...
**[18:39] Chise**
Sorry, I skipped this part,
too. I couldn't understand it.
**[18:44] Lucy**
Wasn't the interpretation
written in another handout?
**[18:47] Zoe**
Huh?! Where was that?
**[18:49] Lucy**
That part's not sorcery or anything.
That's just language.
**[18:53] Lucy**
Use a dictionary.
**[18:54] Zoe**
You could be proud of me
just for speaking English.
**[18:58] Chise**
College English sure is hard.
**[19:04] Chise & Zoe**
Forget sorcery, this is a bigger problem.
**[19:08] Rian**
You're a mage, aren't you?
**[19:10] Rian**
Does this even matter to you?
**[19:12] Chise**
I'm exempt from having to do magic stuff,
but I still have to earn credits.
**[19:18] Lucy**
So, what's there "a lot" of?
**[19:21] Rian**
The golems.
**[19:23] Rian**
They were always wandering
the yard and garden floors,
**[19:26] Rian**
but they're on the other normal floors, too.
**[19:29] Rian**
Almost like guards.
**[19:31] Lucy**
We were attacked from the outside.
**[19:34] Lucy**
Of course there are some guards around.
**[19:36] Isaac**
That's true.
**[19:38] Lucy**
I'm going to look for references.
**[19:40] Zoe**
Okay.
**[19:45] Chise**
Lucy doesn't intend to tell anyone
she was the one who was attacked.
**[20:02] Chise**
She left.
**[20:05] Chise**
Huh?
**[20:11] Chise**
Alcyone-san is kind of...
**[20:15] Chise**
She's like Elias if he were a child.
**[20:22] Lucy**
Chise, Zoe, I found a useful textbook.
**[20:26] Lucy**
Come read it.
**[20:27] Chise**
Really?
**[20:29] Zoe**
You found one for us?
**[20:30] Chise & Zoe**
Thanks!
**[20:32] Lucy**
I just came across it.
**[20:35] Isaac**
Rian, do you have a crush on Philomela?
**[20:38] Rian**
Huh?!
**[20:41] Isaac**
You're pretty prickly towards her.
**[20:43] Isaac**
I figured it might be that classic
annoying type of affection.
**[20:49] Rian**
I already know who *the one* is for me.
**[20:52] Rian**
And she's not it.
**[20:54] Rian**
I just find it frustrating when people
don't know their own self-worth.
**[20:59] Rian**
What about you?
**[21:00] Isaac**
Me?
**[21:02] Rian**
You seem to protect her from me a lot.
**[21:05] Rian**
What's the idea?
**[21:09] Isaac**
What do *you* think?
**[21:12] Isaac**
Ow! Ow! Ow!
**[21:14] Isaac**
Stop it, idiot!
**[21:15] Isaac**
Stop twisting!
**[21:16] Rian**
I hate when people don't
give me a straight answer.
**[21:18] Isaac**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[21:19] Rian**
I hate it.
**[21:20] Chise**
What are they doing?
**[21:26] Lizard**
Principal.
**[21:29] Liza**
Well.
**[21:31] Lizard**
The witches have returned from their duties.
**[21:34] Liza**
Thank you, mister gatekeeper.
**[21:57] Liza**
So the dreaded book is still in the College.
**[22:20] Jasmine**
Maybe I'm thirsty or something.

**[00:03] Alexandra**
Congrats on being discharged!
**[00:06] Seth**
Thank you for your help.
**[00:08] Alexandra**
How do you feel?
**[00:10] Simeon**
I'm just glad I can finally get out of bed.
**[00:13] Simeon**
The best part is how easy it
is to go to the bathroom.
**[00:16] Alexandra**
How do you use the bathroom?
**[00:19] Simeon**
It's a secret.
**[00:20] Simeon**
You?
**[00:21] Alexandra**
It's a secret!
**[00:24] Simeon & Alexandra**
And you?
**[00:25] Elias**
What exactly is going on
in this conversation?
**[00:29] Seth**
Why are you looking at me?
**[00:31] Seth**
Well, then...
**[00:33] Elias**
Are you going home?
**[00:34] Seth**
Even if I wanted to, we're sealed in.
**[00:38] Seth**
I can't even do my work in this
situation, so I'll have to...
**[00:43] Seth**
Alexandra, you have a patient.
**[00:46] Alexandra**
My, my.
**[00:47] Alexandra**
Are you all right?
**[00:48] Female Student**
She's not feeling well.
**[00:52] Alexandra**
I'll have a look over there.
**[00:54] Elias**
I'll take you to your room.
**[00:57] Simeon**
Oh, thanks.
**[02:33] Beatrice**
I'm tired of studying.
**[02:36] Sofia**
Exams are next week.
**[02:39] Sofia**
Lazarus, can you do the nutrition calculations
for cooking class and check my sewing?
**[02:43] Lazarus**
Okay.
**[02:44] Beatrice**
Oh! Mine, too!
**[02:46] Martin**
Mine, too!
**[02:47] Jasmine**
Mine too, when you're done.
**[02:49] Lazarus**
That's a lot.
**[02:51] Lazarus**
Could someone check the sorcerers
exam material range?
**[02:54] Martin**
Pass.
**[02:55] Martin**
I don't want to think
about history right now.
**[02:58] Beatrice**
Same, pass.
**[03:00] Zoe**
I'm completely lost.
**[03:02] Lazarus**
Come on.
**[03:03] Isaac**
I can take a look, if that works for you.
**[03:05] Lazarus**
That'd be great.
**[03:07] Kevin**
Isaac, could you look at mine, too?
**[03:09] Isaac**
Sure.
**[03:11] Roy**
Nothing I read is sticking.
**[03:13] Beatrice**
I know.
**[03:15] Chise**
So this is what study groups are like.
**[03:19] Kevin**
I can't blame you if
you're getting bored.
**[03:21] Kevin**
Normally, we'd be grabbing food in town.
**[03:25] Kevin**
But we can't do that right now.
**[03:27] Martin**
Yeah, I wanna go check out the new shops.
**[03:31] Martin**
I want clothes!
**[03:32] Roy**
The new comics should be out!
**[03:36] Roy**
Right, there's no signal!
**[03:38] Violet**
Looks like everyone's stressed out.
**[03:41] Kevin**
I mean...
**[03:43] Lazarus**
There's nothing to do but study.
**[03:47] Violet**
I thought people would
start saying that, so...
**[03:50] Zoe, Kevin & Roy**
Did you bring us something?!
**[03:54] Violet**
Here you go.
**[03:56] Zoe**
What are these?
**[03:57] Chise**
Puzzles?
**[03:59] Violet**
Do you two not know?
**[04:01] Violet**
This is a training game for sorcerers.
**[04:05] Violet**
You put a simple spell on the puzzle,
**[04:08] Violet**
and you race to see who can solve it first.
**[04:13] Violet**
It tests your analytic skills and
ability to manipulate magic power.
**[04:17] Zoe**
That sounds fun.
**[04:19] Chise**
Magic power, huh?
**[04:20] Chise**
I don't think I could do it.
**[04:22] Isaac**
Do you not have spells to open locks?
**[04:25] Chise**
I do, but...
**[04:27] Lazarus**
You should try it out.
**[04:30] Lucy**
I guess we could try it out, if you want.
**[04:32] Beatrice**
Plus, I want to see your magic again.
**[04:35] Rian**
True, I'd like to see it, too.
**[04:38] Chise**
O-Okay.
**[04:40] Violet**
Okay, first round.
**[04:42] Violet**
Who wants to lock it?
**[04:44] Sofia**
I'll do it.
**[04:45] Roy**
Guess I'm in.
**[04:47] Violet**
Okay, Roy, Sofia, and...
maybe I'll play, too.
**[04:51] Violet**
Let's make it a triple this time.
**[04:56] Violet**
Who's up?
**[04:58] Beatrice**
Me!
**[04:58] Rian**
I'm in.
**[04:59] Martin**
Yeah.
**[04:59] Jasmine**
Why not?
**[05:01] Violet**
And...
**[05:04] Beatrice**
Zoe, Chise, you've never
played before, right?
**[05:07] Beatrice**
You should give it a try.
**[05:10] Chise**
Okay.
**[05:11] Zoe**
Thanks.
**[05:16] Violet**
All right, let's go.
**[05:18] Violet**
Three, two, one.
**[05:21] Violet**
Start!
**[05:23] Simeon**
Thanks for walking with me.
**[05:25] Elias**
You can call me if you need anything.
**[05:31] Simeon**
Do people ever tell you that
you're overprotective?
**[05:35] Elias**
But humans are so frail.
**[05:39] Simeon**
You're not wrong.
**[05:41] Simeon**
Alexandra gets a notification if there's
ever anything wrong with my vitals.
**[05:46] Simeon**
I should be all right.
**[05:49] Simeon**
Especially with the intensified security.
**[05:53] Simeon**
Just hope the students
don't find out too much.
**[05:56] Elias**
Yeah.
**[05:57] Elias**
You're right, there are more patrols lately.
**[06:00] Simeon**
See you around.
**[06:02] Elias**
Yeah.
**[06:05] Simeon**
Do you like music?
**[06:07] Elias**
Music?
**[06:09] Elias**
I've never thought about it.
**[06:11] Elias**
Nor have I heard much.
**[06:13] Simeon**
All right.
**[06:15] Simeon**
I'll try and find something
you'll like for next time.
**[06:20] Elias**
Okay.
**[06:21] Elias**
Thanks.
**[06:27] Elias**
Music, huh?
**[06:30] Elias**
I think I remember Angelica playing
a record quite a while ago.
**[06:35] Elias**
Chise doesn't seem to listen to music.
**[06:39] Elias**
I wonder what kind of music she listens to?
**[06:43] Elias**
She seems to like most food.
**[06:46] Elias**
She never complains about anything.
**[06:49] Elias**
But I haven't heard much
about her preferences.
**[06:53] Elias**
I wonder what she was
like before she met me.
**[06:57] Elias**
I should ask, and...
**[07:01] Elias**
There she is.
**[07:05] Isaac**
You can do this, Zoe.
**[07:06] Lazarus**
Try taking a step back.
**[07:08] Lucy**
Hurry up.
**[07:13] Zoe**
Done!
**[07:16] Zoe**
Who was first?
**[07:17] Violet**
From the top, Martin,
Jasmine, Beatrice, Rian.
**[07:21] Violet**
You're last, Zoe.
**[07:22] Zoe**
Rats!
**[07:24] Beatrice**
It's your first time.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
**[07:26] Lucy**
You were never very good at games.
**[07:29] Lucy**
Even though you were technically first.
**[07:31] Lucy**
To think the whole thing
would open on its own...
**[07:34] Rian**
Magic sure is something.
**[07:36] Jasmine**
You did fall for a trap, though.
**[07:41] Roy**
I set up a trap that's triggered
when you force it open.
**[07:44] Chise**
How long does it last?
**[07:47] Roy**
Not that long.
**[07:48] Roy**
Watch.
**[07:51] Roy**
See?
**[07:52] Veronica**
What are all of you up to?
**[07:55] Violet**
Veronica!
**[07:58] Violet**
Just playing games from back in first year.
**[08:00] Violet**
Wanna join us?
**[08:01] Veronica**
Maybe.
**[08:05] Rian**
Philomela.
**[08:10] Rian**
Let's play each other. It's been a while.
**[08:14] Philomela**
I...
**[08:16] Chise**
Um, you don't have to—
**[08:18] Veronica**
Sounds great.
**[08:19] Veronica**
You're good at this kind of thing.
**[08:22] Veronica**
I'd like to see you do it.
**[08:26] Philomela**
Understood...
**[08:31] Veronica**
You can do this.
**[08:33] Violet**
This is a pretty interesting match-up.
**[08:36] Violet**
Well, same rules as before.
**[08:38] Violet**
The first to solve it wins.
**[08:40] Isaac**
Rian...
**[08:44] Chise**
Is this going to be all right?
**[08:47] Violet**
Are you ready?
**[08:49] Violet**
Ready...
**[08:51] Violet**
Start!
**[09:08] (Flashback) Philomela**
Alcyone!
**[09:11] (Flashback) Philomela**
Alcyone?
**[09:13] (Flashback) Philomela**
Are you tired?
**[09:14] (Flashback) Alcyone**
No.
**[09:16] (Flashback) Alcyone**
It seems it took me a while
to store my memories.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Philomela**
Yeah?
**[09:23] (Flashback) Adam**
Alcyone.
**[09:24] (Flashback) Adam**
Could you help make lunch?
**[09:28] (Flashback) Adam**
I'll take care of Philomela.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Yes, Master.
**[09:39] (Flashback) Iris**
You're one tireless monster.
**[09:42] (Flashback) Iris**
You must be tired.
**[09:44] (Flashback) Alcyone**
No, ma'am.
**[09:45] (Flashback) Alcyone**
How may I help?
**[09:47] (Flashback) Iris**
Let's see... Could you peel the oranges?
**[09:49] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Understood.
**[09:52] (Flashback) Iris**
We haven't been on a picnic in a while.
I'm glad the weather held up.
**[09:55] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Yes.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Iris**
Hey, Alcyone...
**[10:01] (Flashback) Iris**
We can't have cameras or
albums or photos on us.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Iris**
So please, store this scene for us.
**[10:27] Alcyone**
Hello.
**[10:29] Elias**
Hi.
**[10:32] Elias**
That familiar from before.
**[10:36] Alcyone**
We've met before.
**[10:39] Alcyone**
If you'll pardon the rude question...
**[10:43] Alcyone**
Are you of the same kind as me?
**[10:49] Elias**
The same?
**[10:51] Elias**
What makes you think that?
**[10:53] Alcyone**
I cloak myself in matter
in order to carry out tasks.
**[10:58] Alcyone**
I felt that you may be doing the same.
**[11:03] Chise**
Elias.
**[11:05] Chise**
I wonder what they're talking about.
**[11:08] Alcyone**
One of the new students called your name.
**[11:12] Alcyone**
Are you her caretaker?
**[11:14] Elias**
No.
**[11:16] Elias**
I think I'm more the one being taken care of.
**[11:20] Elias**
It's both, I suppose.
**[11:22] Alcyone**
That's quite peculiar.
**[11:25] Elias**
Peculiar?
**[11:26] Alcyone**
We are created to serve those who summon us.
**[11:33] Alcyone**
You seem to be independent.
**[11:36] Elias**
I'm not an artificial fairy.
**[11:39] Alcyone**
Pardon me, then.
**[11:42] Alcyone**
What brings you here today?
**[11:44] Elias**
Observation.
**[11:47] Elias**
What?
**[11:48] Alcyone**
My ability to analyze observations
is not very sophisticated.
**[11:53] Alcyone**
I envy you.
**[11:55] Elias**
No...
**[11:57] Elias**
I could ignore her, but I keep replying.
**[12:03] Elias**
There's more that I don't know
than you give me credit for.
**[12:07] Alcyone**
Is that so?
**[12:13] Alcyone**
I apologize for my inability
to maintain a conversation.
**[12:17] Alcyone**
I still don't know how
**[12:24] Alcyone**
to engage others.
**[12:30] Kevin**
You're both down to your last one!
**[12:40] (Flashback) Rian**
I lost again!
**[12:42] (Flashback) Philomela**
I think you should try to think deeper
about things and about others.
**[12:47] (Flashback) Rian**
Too hard.
**[12:51] (Flashback) Philomela**
Grandmother, Rian and I...
**[12:55] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
What a waste of time.
**[12:57] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
You've no need to win at any games.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Spend that time reading your textbooks.
**[13:04] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
You're already behind everyone else.
**[13:17] Kevin**
Rian won!
**[13:20] Zoe**
He won.
**[13:26] Rian**
Why did you hold back?
**[13:29] Isaac**
Rian!
**[13:29] Rian**
I'm atrocious at these games.
**[13:32] Rian**
There's no way you'd take longer than me!
**[13:35] Isaac**
Stop!
**[13:36] Isaac**
You're getting too worked up, you idiot!
**[13:40] Philomela**
I'm not the same as I was before.
**[13:43] Philomela**
Don't put your expectations on
me just to be disappointed.
**[13:49] Isaac**
Seriously, Rian!
**[13:52] Zoe**
Wait!
**[13:53] Veronica**
Philomela, are you okay?
**[13:56] Philomela**
I'm sorry.
**[14:01] Chise**
Sorry, I'll be back.
**[14:03] Lucy**
Chise!
**[14:05] Lucy**
Damn it!
**[14:07] Sofia**
Do those two have some kind of history?
**[14:09] Beatrice**
I know they're relatives, but...
**[14:12] Kevin**
I bet it's complicated.
**[14:15] Violet**
Jasmine?
**[14:16] Jasmine**
I...
**[14:22] Isaac**
Rian!
**[14:27] Rian**
Why doesn't she try to win?!
**[14:30] Rian**
She's way smarter than me
and better at sorcery!
**[14:34] Rian**
Why is she acting so weak?
**[14:37] Isaac**
It's probably the only
way she could survive.
**[14:42] Rian**
I don't get it.
**[14:44] Rian**
Sure, she's never been the assertive type.
**[14:48] Rian**
But it's only gotten worse!
**[14:50] Rian**
Why—
**[14:52] Isaac**
Why do you think she *needs* to be that way?!
**[14:55] Isaac**
Try giving it some thought, you whiner!
**[15:01] Rian**
You think about other people too much!
**[15:04] Isaac**
At least I'm not arrogant.
**[15:15] Zoe**
I never had friends before I came
here, so I don't really know...
**[15:22] Zoe**
Is it normal to say and do stuff like that?
**[15:27] Zoe**
Here's how I see it, then.
**[15:29] Zoe**
I don't think it's good to act
that way toward girls, or friends.
**[15:38] Chise**
Philomela!
**[15:41] Chise**
Hey, are you okay?
**[15:44] Chise**
Is she crying?
**[15:51] Chise**
That's right.
**[15:55] Chise**
These eyes don't cry.
**[15:58] Chise**
I've seen it before.
**[16:03] Philomela**
Rian and I have always competed
and played games together.
**[16:13] Philomela**
He's honest about his feelings.
**[16:15] Philomela**
So he'd get upset.
**[16:17] Philomela**
But he'd always say good things about me.
**[16:24] Philomela**
But now, I'm not allowed to win...
**[16:28] Philomela**
Yet I'm not allowed to lose, either...
**[16:31] Philomela**
I'm an embarrassment.
**[16:33] Philomela**
I'm worthless.
**[16:36] Philomela**
No matter what I do, I...
**[16:42] Chise**
Is that...
**[16:45] Chise**
because that's what your
grandmother said to you?
**[16:50] Chise**
What did you want to do?
**[16:53] Chise**
In the past, back there, and right now.
**[17:05] Philomela**
There's nothing I'm allowed to do.
**[17:15] Lucy**
That's unusual.
**[17:17] Lucy**
I've never seen you at a loss for words.
**[17:21] Chise**
What should I have said?
**[17:24] Chise**
Our origins, our circumstances, our
personalities, and our burdens are different.
**[17:31] Chise**
And here I am, feeling
some kind of closeness.
**[17:35] Chise**
I want to tell her she can do something.
**[17:40] Chise**
The same way those around me
have told me that I'm free.
**[17:46] Alexandra**
Coming.
**[17:48] Alexandra**
Nurse's office.
**[17:49] Gregory**
Alexandra, we're being assembled.
**[17:53] Alexandra**
I'm in the middle of something right now.
**[17:57] Violet**
Doctor, my sister says she's feeling sick.
**[18:07] Were (Female)**
P-Please...
**[18:10] Were (Female)**
Give them back.
**[18:11] Lizbeth**
You've finally returned.
**[18:13] Lizbeth**
I thought you'd have starved
to death somewhere by now.
**[18:17] Were (Female)**
Please give them back.
**[18:19] Were (Female)**
I can't take this anymore!
**[18:23] Were (Female)**
Please give me back our... my... children...
**[18:31] Lizbeth**
You beasts heal quickly.
**[18:35] Lizbeth**
You recover even after
I tinker with your insides.
**[18:39] Lizbeth**
I left you with a minimal sense of self
so you'd keep yourself out of trouble.
**[18:43] Lizbeth**
Fine.
**[18:45] Lizbeth**
I'll give them back.
**[18:47] Lizbeth**
It should be about time now.
**[18:58] Isaac**
Rian. It's morning.
**[19:02] Rian**
It's Saturday.
**[19:07] Rian**
We never used to get into fights.
**[19:16] Elias**
It's time for rain.
**[19:23] Chise**
I wonder if it's raining
outside the College, too.
**[19:29] Elias**
Do you like the rain?
**[19:31] Chise**
I suppose.
**[19:32] Chise**
I'm worried about our crops back home.
**[19:35] Chise**
We haven't had the pumpkins yet.
**[19:38] Elias**
We should be back by Christmas.
**[19:41] Chise**
I don't know if we can finish them all.
**[19:43] Elias**
Someone might have already harvested them.
**[19:47] Chise**
Yeah, I bet.
**[19:50] Chise**
What shall we make with the pumpkins?
**[19:53] Elias**
Potage, maybe.
**[19:55] Chise**
Bake them with honey and mustard.
**[19:58] Elias**
Have Silver bake a cake.
**[20:02] Elias**
Chise and I...
**[20:04] Chise**
Elias and I...
**[20:06] Chise**
...haven't sat down to talk for a while.
**[20:15] Chise**
Elias.
**[20:17] Chise**
Is it just me, or am I seeing
more things than usual?
**[20:21] Elias**
It's winter, after all.
**[20:23] Chise**
Is it because it's winter?
**[20:24] Violet**
Seeing more of what?
**[20:27] Chise**
Violet.
**[20:28] Violet**
Am I intruding?
**[20:29] Chise**
Intruding...
**[20:31] Chise**
No, it's fine.
**[20:33] Violet**
Mr. Ainsworth, Jasmine's
not feeling too well.
**[20:37] Violet**
She'll probably be absent
for the next class.
**[20:41] Violet**
I plan to take care of her.
**[20:44] Elias**
So you'll both be absent, then.
**[20:46] Elias**
Oh, and if you're really
serious about learning magic,
**[20:51] Elias**
you should find another master.
**[20:54] Elias**
Becoming a mage versus a sorcerer
are two different paths.
**[20:58] Violet**
I figured as much.
**[21:00] Violet**
I'll give it some thought.
**[21:03] Violet**
So, what're you seeing a lot of?
**[21:06] Violet**
Ghosts and stuff?
**[21:08] Violet**
There's a lot lately.
**[21:09] Chise**
You can see them, too, Violet?
**[21:12] Violet**
Sometimes.
**[21:13] Violet**
Ghosts and apparitions are part of
life in the winter in this country.
**[21:17] Violet**
It's the season the dead come back.
**[21:20] Chise**
Where I'm from, that's in the summer.
**[21:24] Chise**
We even have a game called "kimodameshi."
**[21:28] Violet**
Kimodameshi?
**[21:29] Chise**
I guess it's like a horror tour.
**[21:32] Chise**
Students wander around school at night
without supervision, for example.
**[21:37] Violet**
Have you done it before?
**[21:38] Chise**
I have, I guess.
**[21:40] Violet**
Could you tell me more?
**[21:42] Chise**
Sure.
**[21:49] Violet**
I see.
**[21:50] Violet**
I get it.
**[21:52] Violet**
By the way, I'm super bored right now.
**[21:56] Violet**
Wanna do something fun together?
**[22:05] Alexandra**
I'm seeing a lot of patients lately.
**[22:08] Alexandra**
I know it's flu season, but...
**[22:12] Alexandra**
Oh?

**[00:11] Violet**
Well, ladies and gentlemen, thank
you for joining our kimodameshi!
**[01:50] Violet**
I'll explain the rules.
**[01:52] Violet**
You'll be touring the seven locations across
campus known for their scary stories.
**[01:57] Violet**
The old tree of hangings, the
garden of the eternally lost,
**[02:01] Violet**
the window into the netherworld, the hall
of the head seeker, the impostor's mirror,
**[02:05] Violet**
the room of lingering voices,
and the twisted observatory...
**[02:06] Zoe**
Where's Rian?
**[02:08] Isaac**
Dunno.
**[02:09] Violet**
I've indicated the routes on the
print-out I'm about to hand out.
**[02:09] Rian**
Sorry I'm late.
**[02:12] Violet**
To finish, you'll be pairing up to
visit each site and receive a stamp.
**[02:17] Violet**
Finally, we'll watch a horror
movie at the observatory.
**[02:20] Violet**
Also, I haven't told the teachers
about tonight, so don't get caught.
**[02:24] Martin**
Yeah, yeah.
**[02:26] Kevin**
It'll suck if they find out.
**[02:27] Martin**
They won't.
**[02:30] Violet**
All right, let's start pairing up.
**[02:32] Violet**
So, in total, there are...
**[02:35] Jasmine**
Hey!
**[02:38] Violet**
Jasmine?
**[02:39] Jasmine**
How could you leave me out of all this fun?
**[02:44] Kevin**
Weren't you sleeping?
**[02:46] Jasmine**
I'm feeling a little better now.
**[02:50] Violet**
Just don't push yourself too much, Jasmine.
**[02:52] Jasmine**
I know.
**[02:55] Violet**
Well, let's get started, then.
**[03:05] Violet**
One, two...
**[03:25] Zoe**
So...
**[03:26] Zoe**
First up...
**[03:29] Zoe**
Thirty-two years ago,
**[03:31] Zoe**
this is the tree where a student with scratches
all over supposedly hung themselves.
**[03:35] Lucy**
Did that really happen?
**[03:38] Lucy**
Kinda sounds made-up to me.
**[03:40] Zoe**
I wonder.
**[03:52] Zoe**
I didn't think of you as the type to
join these kinds of things, Lucy.
**[03:56] Lucy**
Chise invited me.
**[03:59] Zoe**
Chise?
**[04:01] Lucy**
I'd feel guilty turning her down
when she asks so hesitantly.
**[04:08] Zoe**
S-So then...
**[04:10] Zoe**
Why did you offer to switch pairs earlier?
**[04:13] Lucy**
What are you going to do if
your snakes suddenly appear?
**[04:17] Lucy**
Besides...
**[04:18] Lucy**
I don't want to bother trying to talk
to anyone except you guys.
**[04:23] Zoe**
I see.
**[04:32] Chise**
Let's see...
**[04:33] Chise**
The hall where the man who'd lost his head
during a sorcery experiment was last seen.
**[04:44] Chise**
I haven't felt like this in a while.
**[04:47] Chise**
But it might be an opportunity.
**[04:53] Veronica**
Could you press the stamp?
**[04:56] Chise**
Okay.
**[05:08] Veronica**
You're pretty meek, aren't you? Shy, maybe.
**[05:13] Veronica**
You look like you want to talk
to people, but you can't.
**[05:17] Chise**
I'm not good at talking to people.
**[05:20] Veronica**
It just takes practice.
**[05:22] Veronica**
You have no trouble talking to
Rian and the others, after all.
**[05:27] Chise**
In that case, did you know
**[05:29] Chise**
that Philomela's being told to drop out
of school due to her family's circumstances?
**[05:35] Veronica**
So that's what you wanted to ask, huh?
**[05:38] Veronica**
You're not very good at segues yet.
**[05:42] Veronica**
Of course I know.
**[05:45] Veronica**
But there's nothing to do about it.
**[05:47] Chise**
I heard the Sergeant family serves
the Rickenbacker family... your family.
**[05:53] Veronica**
So, you think I could order them
to do something about it?
**[06:00] Veronica**
Chise, dear mage, are your kind
ever tied down by something?
**[06:07] Chise**
Tied down?
**[06:09] Veronica**
A sorcerer's descendants are bound
to their family from birth.
**[06:16] Veronica**
No matter how much
the world extols freedom,
**[06:19] Veronica**
subjection exists in the shadows.
**[06:24] Veronica**
Stick your nose into such places, and you'll
find yourself in a lot of hurt, Chise.
**[06:33] Chise**
I've experienced the pain of stepping
into someone else's core, too.
**[06:42] Veronica**
You like Philomela, huh?
**[06:44] Chise**
Eh?
**[06:46] Chise**
Er, yeah.
**[06:48] Chise**
I'm worried about her.
**[06:51] Veronica**
I see.
**[06:53] Veronica**
Why don't we keep talking as we walk?
**[06:58] Veronica**
She seems to have finally
found friends, too.
**[07:09] (Flashback) Servant A**
Miss Veronica!
**[07:10] (Flashback) Doctor A**
Poison?
**[07:11] (Flashback) Doctor A**
No... A curse?
**[07:12] (Flashback) Doctor B**
Take her away.
**[07:13] (Flashback) Doctor B**
This may be contagious.
**[07:18] (Flashback) Servant A**
Miss Veronica, this way, quickly!
**[07:28] Veronica**
*Poor girl. And on her first job, too.*
**[07:32] Veronica**
* But to think someone would try*
* to poison me on my birthday...*
**[07:38] Veronica**
*I must really have people's attention.*
**[07:46] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
They are all capable, close in
age, and resistant to poison.
**[07:51] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
I believe they're adequate
to have by your side.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Veronica**
What should I do with my father?
**[07:57] (Flashback) Veronica**
He never discusses these things with me.
**[07:59] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
The master insisted that we find someone
immediately, given the recent incident.
**[08:07] (Flashback) Veronica**
She survived.
**[08:09] (Flashback) Veronica**
She's strong.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
That one's not mature yet.
**[08:13] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
It was such a basic poison—
**[08:14] (Flashback) Veronica**
I choose her.
**[08:17] (Flashback) Veronica**
It'll be easier to talk to a girl.
**[08:21] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Miss Veronica!
**[08:22] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
That's...
**[08:25] (Flashback) Veronica**
Lizbeth Sergeant.
**[08:28] (Flashback) Veronica**
This isn't a request.
**[08:33] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
As you wish.
**[08:42] (Flashback) Philomela**
Miss Veronica.
**[08:44] (Flashback) Veronica**
Did Lizbeth do that to you?
**[08:48] (Flashback) Philomela**
For not noticing the poison before I ate it.
**[08:53] (Flashback) Philomela**
So...
**[08:55] (Flashback) Philomela**
I'm sorry you have to see this.
**[08:59] (Flashback) Veronica**
You're in a cage, too, aren't you?
**[09:02] (Flashback) Philomela**
A cage?
**[09:03] (Flashback) Veronica**
That's right.
**[09:04] (Flashback) Veronica**
I'm still stuck inside, too.
**[09:07] (Flashback) Veronica**
But...
**[09:09] (Flashback) Veronica**
If you can't escape your cage, it may
as well be a nicer cage, right?
**[09:15] (Flashback) Veronica**
Which is why I'm choosing you.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Veronica**
What's your name?
**[09:22] (Flashback) Philomela**
Philomela.
**[09:24] (Flashback) Veronica**
I'd like you to be my attendant, Philomela.
**[09:31] (Flashback) Philomela**
But I'm a failure.
**[09:34] (Flashback) Philomela**
Someone else could do better.
**[09:38] (Flashback) Veronica**
Listen, Philomela.
**[09:40] (Flashback) Veronica**
This isn't a request. It's an order.
**[09:48] (Flashback) Philomela**
I understand.
**[09:50] (Flashback) Veronica**
That's it. Good girl.
**[10:00] (Flashback) Veronica**
To tell you the truth, I'm used to poison,
**[10:04] (Flashback) Veronica**
but there are a few I'm still
developing a tolerance to.
**[10:07] (Flashback) Veronica**
So I'll need your help in the meantime.
**[10:09] (Flashback) Philomela**
Yes.
**[10:11] (Flashback) Veronica**
The Rickenbackers are a medical family.
**[10:14] (Flashback) Veronica**
And yet, we're killing other members of
our family, even. It's all so tedious.
**[10:18] (Flashback) Veronica**
Do you have any siblings?
**[10:21] (Flashback) Philomela**
No.
**[10:22] (Flashback) Philomela**
Just my father's familiar.
**[10:25] (Flashback) Veronica**
What about your father and mother?
**[10:28] (Flashback) Philomela**
I don't remember.
**[10:30] (Flashback) Philomela**
I heard they did something awful and died.
**[10:34] (Flashback) Veronica**
I see.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Veronica**
There. All done.
**[10:50] Veronica**
Awful, isn't it?
**[10:52] Veronica**
Everyone besides her is a villain.
**[10:55] Veronica**
What a horrible bedtime story, isn't it?
**[10:59] Chise**
I don't sense she's lying.
**[11:02] Veronica**
So, what are you trying to accomplish?
**[11:07] Veronica**
I'm her master. What would you do in my shoes?
**[11:13] Chise**
If there's anything she wishes for...
**[11:16] Veronica**
Even though she doesn't even
know what she wants herself?
**[11:21] Chise**
Well...
**[11:24] Veronica**
I'll ask again, Chise Hatori.
**[11:28] Veronica**
You have no connection to this tiny little
world where this is all happening.
**[11:33] Veronica**
Why are you so insistent on
involving yourself with her?
**[11:45] Veronica**
You're adorable.
**[11:52] Veronica**
Well, let's hurry.
**[11:54] Veronica**
The others will catch up to us.
**[11:56] Chise**
Oh, yeah.
**[12:02] Violet**
This is the mirror that takes on
your form when you answer its call.
**[12:09] Violet**
You sure are boring.
**[12:11] Violet**
What, are you still upset?
**[12:14] Rian**
I was just thinking about
why you stopped me.
**[12:19] (Flashback) Violet**
No!
**[12:21] Violet**
I was doing you a favor by holding you
back from charging in like an idiot.
**[12:25] Rian**
What do you mean, idiot?
**[12:27] Violet**
Can you really say that
after what you did?
**[12:32] Violet**
I can't believe you're
the heir to your house.
**[12:34] Violet**
I wouldn't want Jasmine working with you.
**[12:37] Rian**
I told you, I'm not...
**[12:38] Rian**
Wait, I thought you were taking
over the St. George house.
**[12:42] Violet**
I dunno...
**[12:44] Violet**
The old folks keep nagging me to take over.
**[12:48] Violet**
But y'know how I like
dressing up as a woman?
**[12:51] Rian**
Yeah.
**[12:52] Rian**
I'm sure that would be useful for sorcery.
**[12:54] Violet**
That's the thing!
**[12:56] Violet**
You know how cross-dressing is useful
for special kinds of sorcery?
**[13:01] Violet**
The thing is, I only do it because I want to.
I don't care about what my family has to say.
**[13:07] Violet**
But then my family started getting all up in
Jasmine's business, since she's so proper.
**[13:13] Violet**
She cut her long hair short.
**[13:16] Violet**
Even started behaving more like a guy.
**[13:21] Violet**
Like she's trying to trade places with me.
**[13:25] Violet**
Some kids are just too honest to
get themselves out of trouble.
**[13:30] Violet**
That's never occurred to you, has it?
**[13:33] Rian**
Are you talking about Isaac and Philomela?
**[13:38] Violet**
Rian, no bird is born knowing how to fly.
**[13:43] Violet**
They have to be taught by
the one protecting them.
**[13:47] Violet**
But there are some humans
who are never taught, either.
**[13:50] Violet**
Worse, some have their wings pulled
out and buried under rocks.
**[13:55] Violet**
Hardly any hatchlings have the luck or
the strength to leave such a nest.
**[14:04] Violet**
Unlike you, who was taught
everything and granted everything.
**[14:12] Rian**
You're in the same position I am.
**[14:16] Rian**
And yet you've thought about it this much.
**[14:18] Violet**
You just aren't thinking *enough*!
**[14:20] Violet**
Isaac deserves an award
for taking care of you!
**[14:25] Violet**
Okay.
**[14:25] Violet**
I'm done talking.
**[14:27] Violet**
And collecting stamps.
**[14:30] Rian**
What exactly do I hope will happen?
**[14:36] Philomela**
Rian.
**[14:41] Philomela**
Rian.
**[14:44] Rian**
Philo—
**[14:45] Violet**
Rian.
**[14:49] Kevin**
What was that for?!
**[14:52] Violet**
Oh, it's just Kevin and the others.
**[15:07] Isaac**
It's this window.
**[15:11] Isaac**
Supposedly, those who look through it
sometimes see their own final moments.
**[15:15] Isaac**
I wonder if it's true.
**[15:18] Isaac**
I don't see anything. Do you?
**[15:20] Philomela**
It would be bad if you could.
**[15:24] Isaac**
You're right.
**[15:32] Isaac**
You can always bail if you
don't feel up to this.
**[15:35] Isaac**
I'll let them know at the goal.
**[15:40] Philomela**
You've been sticking up for me lately.
**[15:45] Philomela**
Why?
**[15:47] Philomela**
Are you getting something out of it?
**[15:52] Isaac**
It seems like Rian—or rather, all kinds
of things—make you feel inferior.
**[15:58] Isaac**
I'm the same way, so I just
can't stand by and watch.
**[16:02] Philomela**
You're Rian's friend.
**[16:04] Philomela**
And aren't the Farrars the blacksmiths
**[16:07] Philomela**
that the Scrimgeour family's been
depending on for generations?
**[16:13] Philomela**
At the very least, you aren't
shadows like the Sergeants.
**[16:19] Isaac**
Growing up with guy friends gets messy.
**[16:23] Isaac**
We end up competing, even if we
don't mean to hurt each other.
**[16:26] Isaac**
And I have this habit of
learning only after I mess up.
**[16:30] Isaac**
I could never keep up with Rian.
**[16:33] Isaac**
Like, when I get depressed or distracted,
I can't focus on the family business.
**[16:43] Isaac**
We work with fire, so the slightest
negligence can cause a horrible accident.
**[16:48] Isaac**
I have just a little experience with the
kinds of things said to you, too.
**[16:56] Isaac**
Rian thinks he isn't very talented.
**[16:59] Isaac**
He thinks anything he can
do, anyone else can do, too.
**[17:03] Isaac**
He doesn't know what it's like not being
capable... what it's like being stuck.
**[17:10] Isaac**
Don't you think so?
**[17:12] Philomela**
I do.
**[17:14] Isaac**
Right?
**[17:15] Isaac**
I think you might be the best
person to tell him that.
**[17:18] Philomela**
Don't you...
**[17:20] Philomela**
Don't you ever tell him?
**[17:22] Philomela**
How can you be around him
after all you've been through?
**[17:28] Isaac**
I'm not his rival or anything.
**[17:31] Isaac**
So nothing I say to him sticks.
**[17:34] Isaac**
But...
**[17:38] Isaac**
But he's a good guy, so I can't
bring myself to hate him.
**[17:42] Isaac**
Maybe that's why I hang around.
**[17:46] Philomela**
Yeah.
**[17:48] Philomela**
He's straightforward.
**[17:50] Philomela**
He isn't good at thinking
deeply about people.
**[17:54] Philomela**
I can't stand it.
**[18:00] Isaac**
Well, it looks like we're headed
to an upper floor next.
**[18:07] Isaac**
Tied down.
**[18:08] Isaac**
By the outer world.
**[18:10] Isaac**
By herself.
**[18:12] Isaac**
Unable to move.
**[18:14] Isaac**
Suffocated.
**[18:16] Isaac**
Which is why...
**[18:18] Isaac**
Hey, Philomela...
**[18:22] Isaac**
We'll go crazy if we don't vent sometimes.
**[18:25] Isaac**
Both of us.
**[18:28] Isaac**
There are a few more things we need
in order to move forward.
**[18:37] Veronica**
This is the last spot. The observatory.
**[18:45] Chise**
The stars.
**[18:46] Veronica**
It's something like a planetarium.
**[18:51] Violet**
Martin, what's the movie we're watching?
**[18:54] Martin**
A brand-new movie from this year!
**[18:56] Martin**
An avalanche of sharks, attacking
on a snowy mountain!
**[18:59] Sophia**
Where's the horror movie?
**[19:01] Chise**
Sharks? On a snowy mountain?
**[19:15] Chise**
Huh?
**[19:16] Chise**
What's that smell?
**[19:21] Kevin**
Here we go!
**[19:26] Rian**
Isaac.
**[19:29] Rian**
I—
**[19:30] Isaac**
I think you ought to
apologize to Philomela,
**[19:34] Isaac**
whether she accepts your apology or not.
**[19:37] Isaac**
Also, I'm not taking back what
I said to you, nor am I apologizing.
**[19:43] Isaac**
I honestly want you to change.
**[19:48] Rian**
All right.
**[19:49] Rian**
I'll be careful.
**[19:52] Rian**
Violet told me the same thing.
**[19:55] Isaac**
Come on...
**[19:58] Isaac**
You basically just admitted you didn't
take it to heart when I talked to you.
**[20:04] Isaac**
Nah.
**[20:05] Isaac**
Never mind.
**[20:07] Isaac**
Seriously.
**[20:09] Isaac**
You're so weirdly straightforward and dense.
**[20:15] Roy**
Man, that was a hell of a way to waste time.
**[20:17] Martin**
Refreshingly bold plot, right?
**[20:19] Kevin**
Even though everybody died a spectacular death?
**[20:21] Tory**
Well, aren't you all up quite late?
**[20:26] Tory**
Enjoy the watch party, everyone?
**[20:30] Tariq**
We're escorting you naughty
kids to the dorms.
**[20:33] All**
Okay.
**[20:44] Tory**
What's the matter?
**[20:46] Tory**
You seem down.
**[20:47] Rian**
It's nothing.
**[20:53] Jasmine**
Violet.
**[21:00] Jasmine**
Tonight was a lot of fun.
**[21:03] Jasmine**
I liked hanging out with everyone.
**[21:07] Kevin**
Where'd that come from?
**[21:08] Kevin**
What are we, strangers?
**[21:09] Beatrice**
Are we still doing something?
**[21:11] Lazarus**
Let's go to bed.
**[21:12] Violet**
I'm glad you had fun.
**[21:15] Violet**
Whoever you are.
**[21:31] Ghost**
Come play with me again.
**[21:39] Chise**
The kimodameshi...
**[21:41] Violet**
...was a huge success.
**[21:44] Tory**
Well, what a skillful
impostor that ghost was.
**[21:48] Tariq**
That was a student from about 30
years ago, if I recall correctly.
**[21:58] Lazarus**
Get off me, Kevin! You're heavy!
**[22:00] Kevin**
Hold me!
**[22:00] Elias**
Chise.
**[22:02] Kevin**
Don't leave me behind!
**[22:04] Elias**
Alexandra is asking you to
come to the nurse's office.
**[22:11] Elias**
As quick as you can.

**[00:18] Student B**
You all right?
**[00:23] Student A**
I just had a weird dream, and...
**[00:30] Student B**
Hey, what's wrong?
**[00:32] Student B**
Are you okay?!
**[00:33] Student B**
Hey!
**[02:27] Chise**
It's done.
**[02:29] Alexandra**
Thank you.
**[02:31] Chise**
These are gathering stones, right?
**[02:33] Chise**
They contain magic power.
**[02:35] Chise**
I've never seen them before.
**[02:37] Alexandra**
There've been a lot of students
collapsing these past few days.
**[02:41] Alexandra**
When I checked on them, they'd all
been robbed of their magic power.
**[02:45] Chise**
Does that mean...
**[02:47] Alexandra**
Yup.
**[02:48] Alexandra**
It seems the attacker is still
in the College somewhere.
**[02:53] Alexandra**
I'm glad you're here, though.
**[02:57] Alexandra**
I'll pay you later.
**[02:58] Chise**
Oh, it's fine.
**[03:01] Chise**
I happen to have plenty.
**[03:04] Alexandra**
Don't be like that.
**[03:06] Alexandra**
Being a Sleigh Beggy is your gift.
**[03:09] Alexandra**
People need to be paid for
their abilities and skills.
**[03:13] Chise**
Abilities...
**[03:15] Chise**
I've heard something like
that several times.
**[03:19] Alexandra**
It's not necessarily something
you want to hear, is it?
**[03:21] Alexandra**
I'm sorry if it upset you.
**[03:23] Chise**
N-No.
**[03:25] Chise**
I think about all the things this body puts
me through, and what it does for me.
**[03:32] Chise**
I don't really know what to make of it.
**[03:35] Chise**
I wonder if I have any other talents.
**[03:40] Chise**
If this is all I have...
**[03:45] Alexandra**
If that's what you want, you should
look far and wide for what you like.
**[03:50] Alexandra**
Talent isn't just lying in front of
you or handed to you directly.
**[03:56] Alexandra**
You're lucky if you find
it while you're young.
**[04:01] Chise**
I'll do my best.
**[04:04] Alexandra**
Now, take those and let's head back.
**[04:07] Chise**
Okay.
**[04:12] Chise**
Huh?
**[04:12] Chise**
Lucy.
**[04:13] Chise**
Why are you...
**[04:14] Lucy**
I'll collapse if I leave your side.
**[04:17] Chise**
That's right.
**[04:19] Alexandra**
Principal.
**[04:20] Alexandra**
I didn't know you were here.
**[04:21] Ryza**
How are the students?
**[04:24] Alexandra**
They're out of mortal danger for now,
thanks to the gathering stones.
**[04:28] Alexandra**
But they all have the same symptoms,
**[04:30] Alexandra**
and they're gradually
losing their magic power.
**[04:33] Ryza**
So long as the attacker is in the College,
it'll be difficult to continue hiding it.
**[04:39] Ryza**
Thus, I'll inform all students
of the situation tomorrow.
**[04:44] Alexandra**
What shall we do about the
students who were attacked?
**[04:47] Alexandra**
If they aren't culprits,
we could send them home.
**[04:51] Elias**
I don't think that'll be an option.
**[04:53] Elias**
They're entangled with
the forbidden book now.
**[04:57] Elias**
They'll be less of a pain all in one place.
**[05:02] Ryza**
Setting aside whether they're "a pain,"
**[05:05] Ryza**
having them here would make it easier
to manage and assess the problem.
**[05:12] Ryza**
I wonder, though...
**[05:13] Ryza**
Why have they suddenly started collapsing?
**[05:19] Student B**
Miss Alexandra!
**[05:20] Student B**
Are you here?
**[05:26] Student B**
My roommate collapsed!
**[05:28] Ryza**
Another patient?
**[05:35] Student A**
Give me...
**[05:37] Student A**
Give me...
**[05:39] Student A**
Give me...
**[05:40] Student A**
I need more.
**[05:42] Student B**
Hey!
**[05:44] Lucy**
Chise!
**[05:45] Student B**
Hey, what do you think you're doing?!
**[05:51] Chise**
It's sapping my magic power.
**[06:16] Joseph**
Silly you.
**[06:18] Joseph**
Don't lock eyes with that thing.
**[06:27] Ryza**
No! A burst?!
**[06:42] Chise**
Elias...
**[06:44] Chise**
I just saw something...
**[06:47] Elias**
It took quite a bit of your magic power.
**[06:49] Lucy**
Chise! Are you all...
**[06:54] Chise**
Lucy...
**[06:56] Elias**
She doesn't have enough
left to share with Lucy.
**[06:59] Elias**
Principal, do you have
anything high in calories?
**[07:03] Ryza**
Sure, will my snacks do?
**[07:11] Ryza**
So, may I ask what just happened?
**[07:15] Elias**
The magic book must have stolen Chise's
magic power through that thing from earlier.
**[07:21] Elias**
It was probably too inefficient.
**[07:25] Ryza**
Inefficient?
**[07:27] Elias**
The attacker could have just taken
all of her magic power and run off.
**[07:32] Elias**
But for some reason, they didn't.
**[07:35] Elias**
So the book must have lost
patience and made a bold move.
**[07:40] Ryza**
Are you suggesting that the
book is manipulating the user?
**[07:46] Elias**
Or the user isn't able
to manage it adequately.
**[07:50] Elias**
Either way, it might be affecting the user.
**[07:53] Chise**
Could it be that the attacker...
**[07:57] Chise**
Doesn't want to kill the sacrifices?
**[08:01] Elias**
But the first victim, Webster, nearly died.
**[08:15] Chise**
Lucy, are you okay?
**[08:17] Lucy**
I don't feel too good.
**[08:19] Jasmine**
Chise?
**[08:22] Chise**
Jasmine.
**[08:24] Chise**
Are you fine?
**[08:25] Chise**
You feel well enough to be up?
**[08:26] Jasmine**
What about you?
**[08:30] Jasmine**
My head suddenly feels clear.
**[08:33] Jasmine**
And my body seems lighter.
**[08:41] Student C**
I slept well.
**[08:43] Jasmine**
What's gotten into everyone?
**[08:53] Student (female)**
Hey, did you see the message
from the principal?
**[08:56] Student (female)**
A forbidden book got stolen.
**[08:59] Student (male)**
I did.
**[09:00] Student (female)**
You know how there's been a lot of people
being taken to the nurse's office?
**[09:04] Student (male)**
Yeah. I heard it's because the
attacker's been using the book
**[09:07] Student (male)**
to steal magic power.
**[09:09] Student (male)**
It's weird, though...
**[09:11] Student (male)**
Everyone's been asleep until yesterday,
**[09:13] Student (male)**
and suddenly everyone
wakes up feeling fine today.
**[09:16] Student (female)**
My roommate came back this morning, too.
**[09:20] Student (female)**
The attacker's still in
the College, though, right?
**[09:24] Student (male)**
Do you think it could be that guy who got
taken to the nurse's office last night?
**[09:28] Student (male)**
I heard he was attacked, too, though...
**[09:32] Student (female)**
Which means... one of the teachers, maybe?
**[09:36] Elias**
Chise.
**[09:39] Chise**
Elias.
**[09:42] Chise**
Harvesting?
**[09:44] Elias**
For a change of pace.
**[09:47] Elias**
Since you have a tendency to
pick up on others' malice.
**[09:52] Chise**
Thank you.
**[09:56] Chise**
Is this all my fault?
**[09:59] Chise**
Why did the victims suddenly
return to normal?
**[10:03] Elias**
I don't know.
**[10:05] Elias**
Did they get all the magic they needed?
**[10:08] Elias**
Or maybe it was too much for them to handle,
**[10:11] Elias**
and the connection burst.
**[10:14] Chise**
Burst...
**[10:19] Elias**
You must be exhausted, too.
**[10:22] Elias**
I think you've earned a day off.
**[10:27] Chise**
Yes.
**[10:36] Chise**
Lucy, want a tomato?
**[10:40] Chise**
Here.
**[10:40] Lucy**
Hey!
**[10:42] Lucy**
You shouldn't throw food!
**[10:45] Chise**
Oh... sorry.
**[10:46] Lucy**
Jeez.
**[10:53] Lucy**
By the way, why are you here, Seth?
**[10:56] Seth**
I'm quite bored, that's all.
**[10:58] Lucy**
I see.
**[11:00] Seth**
Thanks for the tomato.
**[11:03] Beatrice**
Chise! Mr. Ainsworth!
**[11:06] Zoe**
What are you picking?
**[11:07] Chise**
Tomatoes. Want some?
**[11:09] Zoe**
Yes, please.
**[11:11] Beatrice**
Is it all right if I take a few?
**[11:14] Beatrice**
I want to feed my familiar.
**[11:16] Elias**
I suppose it's fine.
**[11:18] Zoe**
Wow, they're huge.
**[11:20] Beatrice**
They are.
**[11:21] Elias**
I didn't get permission to
harvest them, though.
**[11:26] Zoe**
Hang on, are these actually tomatoes?
**[11:28] Zoe**
They're growing on trees.
**[11:30] Lucy**
I guess that's the cultivar.
**[11:32] Lucy**
Dunno.
**[11:33] Zoe**
Oh, Isaac, want some?
**[11:35] Isaac**
I can't do raw tomatoes.
**[11:38] Beatrice**
Hey, where's Rian?
**[11:40] Isaac**
Oh yeah, now that you mention it...
**[11:44] Chise**
Want some more, everyone?
**[11:46] Beatrice**
Yeah!
**[11:47] Zoe**
Yes, please!
**[11:58] Ruth**
You seem happy.
**[12:03] Chise**
Yeah.
**[12:04] Chise**
I kinda hope I don't forget this.
**[12:11] Chise**
I wish...
**[12:13] Chise**
It's too bad Philomela isn't here with us.
**[12:16] Chise**
Is it selfish of me to think that?
**[12:19] Beatrice**
Chise.
**[12:20] Chise**
Oh, yeah, coming.
**[12:24] Rian**
Is there really no way?
**[12:26] Olivia**
Nope.
**[12:27] Olivia**
Boys aren't allowed on the girls'
floors, or vice versa,
**[12:29] Olivia**
without very good reason.
**[12:31] Rian**
I just want to make sure she's there.
**[12:33] Olivia**
Nope.
**[12:35] Olivia**
Besides, just because you had a fight
doesn't make it any less rude of you
**[12:39] Olivia**
to barge in when she's feeling sick.
**[13:54] Lucy**
Where were you?
**[13:56] Lucy**
The first block is about to start.
**[13:59] Chise**
I'll hurry.
**[14:14] Beatrice**
Another one!
**[14:15] Student**
Get away from me!
**[14:17] Student**
Kevin!
**[14:17] Student**
Kevin! Stay away!
**[14:19] Student**
I can't!
**[14:20] Student**
There're way too many of them!
**[14:31] Chise**
Those two are together a lot these days.
**[14:41] Alcyone**
She...
**[14:44] Alcyone**
She waves back at you, I see.
**[14:48] Elias**
Does your master not?
**[14:52] Alcyone**
We used to hold hands often
when she was little.
**[14:56] Alcyone**
I was made to be her caretaker, after all.
**[15:01] Alcyone**
But at some point, she started
refusing to even touch my hand.
**[15:09] Alcyone**
I must have lost my purpose.
**[15:17] Elias**
I think children eventually
stop needing their parents.
**[15:21] Alcyone**
Parents?
**[15:23] Alcyone**
No...
**[15:25] Alcyone**
She has only a father and a mother.
**[15:29] Alcyone**
I've never been given such a role.
**[15:38] Elias**
I'm her magic teacher,
**[15:41] Elias**
but I'm also her student,
being taught about being human.
**[15:45] Elias**
In the beginning, we both
only had our singular roles.
**[15:48] Elias**
But now, we are also spouses.
**[15:53] Elias**
It might be that we have other roles.
**[15:59] Elias**
But apparently, there's no reason
to affix ourselves to those roles.
**[16:07] Alcyone**
No...
**[16:09] Alcyone**
I'm not of an adequate enough
construction to be much more.
**[16:13] Elias**
It's not a matter of adequacy.
**[16:15] Elias**
I mean to say that if you desire it, you
may also take on the role of a parent.
**[16:22] Elias**
Though, that's just something
someone else told me, too.
**[16:30] Alcyone**
My desire...
**[16:38] Kevin**
A month and a half...
**[16:41] Sofia**
What?
**[16:42] Kevin**
That's how long it's been
since the College was closed.
**[16:45] Kevin**
Let us out, already!
**[16:47] Sofia**
Yeah...
**[16:48] Sofia**
The Christmas holiday starts
the end of next week.
**[16:51] Kevin**
Christmas?!
**[16:52] Kevin**
Hey, are you free on Christmas?
**[16:54] Kevin**
Wanna go out somewhere?
**[16:55] Martin**
Oh, nice!
**[16:57] Martin**
There's a new movie coming out!
**[16:59] Kevin**
No one asked you!
**[17:00] Martin**
It's a gory movie about
Christmas trees attacking.
**[17:03] Zoe**
What are you making, Chise?
**[17:06] Chise**
I'm not telling you yet.
**[17:08] Lucy**
You're asking a mage,
so it must be witchcraft.
**[17:12] Chise**
I make daily necessities, too.
**[17:14] Roy**
But, like, they haven't found
the attacker yet, right?
**[17:19] Lazarus**
And there are more golems on patrol now.
**[17:21] Martin**
It's kinda creepy that no one's been
attacked this past month, isn't it?
**[17:26] Kevin**
In that case...
**[17:28] Kevin**
Why don't we go looking for the attacker?
**[17:33] Kevin**
It'd be a good way to kill time.
**[17:36] Roy**
You're too much of a crybaby.
**[17:38] Kevin**
You were nearly sobbing, too!
**[17:41] Lucy**
Do you want to die?
**[17:46] Lucy**
We don't know what they want or
what kind of person they are.
**[17:51] Lucy**
That's what they call "thoughtless."
**[17:53] Beatrice**
Lucy...
**[17:55] Kevin**
Die?
**[17:57] Kevin**
They've just been slowly sucking
the magic power out of people.
**[18:00] Kevin**
You're all making too much
of a huge deal of it.
**[18:04] Chise**
I see...
**[18:06] Chise**
They don't know about how
Lucy was the first attacked.
**[18:10] Lucy**
They just happened not to have died.
**[18:13] Lucy**
Not that I'd care if you died.
**[18:18] Kevin**
Yeah?!
**[18:19] Kevin**
Then just shut up and keep sipping your tea!
**[18:21] Isaac**
Cut it out, you two.
**[18:23] Kevin**
Sure, whatever.
**[18:26] Kevin**
Maybe you're the attacker, after all.
**[18:29] Kevin**
The last survivor of the Webster family
**[18:32] Kevin**
would have plenty of reasons
to hate sorcerers.
**[18:35] Beatrice**
Kevin!
**[18:44] Chise**
There are some things you shouldn't say.
**[18:49] Zoe**
Lucy was with us this whole time.
**[18:54] Zoe**
If she's the attacker,
people might think Chise,
**[18:58] Zoe**
Isaac and Ryan and I are accomplices.
**[19:01] Chise**
Zoe...
**[19:02] Beatrice**
Sofia and I were with her, too.
**[19:05] Sofia**
Yeah.
**[19:06] Student (male)**
What's up?
**[19:06] Student (female)**
What's going on?
**[19:07] Student (female)**
A fight?
**[19:08] Student (male)**
Come on.
**[19:09] Student (male)**
He's talking out of his ass
again. What else is new?
**[19:11] Student (male)**
Don't be so harsh.
**[19:13] Student (male)**
Kevin, you should apologize.
**[19:16] Kevin**
Seriously?
**[19:18] Kevin**
It was a joke!
**[19:19] Kevin**
Why are you all so—
**[19:20] Lucy**
I don't need you to apologize.
**[19:25] Lucy**
I wouldn't accept it, anyway.
**[19:27] Roy**
Are you okay?
**[19:29] Martin**
That was a clean blow.
**[19:30] Martin**
Nailed his chin good.
**[19:32] Lazarus**
Is this really the time?
**[19:33] Zoe**
Hey, what's up with Lucy's family?
**[19:41] Lucy**
Why did you get angry before me?
**[19:46] Chise**
Oh...
**[19:47] Chise**
Yeah.
**[19:48] Chise**
I just realized he says those things
because he's never seen it before.
**[19:54] Lucy**
Don't go butting into other people's fights.
**[19:58] Lucy**
You're always like that.
**[20:01] Chise**
Yeah...
**[20:03] Lucy**
So, Chise...
**[20:05] Lucy**
When you say "he's never seen it before,"
**[20:08] Lucy**
that makes it sound like *you* have.
**[20:12] Chise**
No, er, well, I just happened to see that.
**[20:18] Lucy**
I haven't said anything yet.
**[20:24] Lucy**
Spill it.
**[20:41] Veronica**
Philomela.
**[20:45] Philomela**
Miss Veronica.
**[20:47] Veronica**
You don't have to get up.
**[20:49] Veronica**
You haven't been feeling
well lately, have you?
**[20:52] Philomela**
I'm sorry.
**[20:55] Veronica**
Hey, Philomela...
**[20:57] Veronica**
Is there anything you need to tell me?
**[21:04] Philomela**
There isn't.
**[21:06] Veronica**
Oh?
**[21:08] Veronica**
I'm coming in.
**[21:10] Alcyone**
Lady Philomela...
**[21:23] Veronica**
You look as pale as I thought you would.
**[21:26] Veronica**
You have to eat, okay?
**[21:29] Philomela**
Yes.
**[21:48] Veronica**
Oh, my.
**[21:49] Veronica**
It's all right.
**[21:51] Veronica**
Let it all out.
**[21:57] Philomela**
What is she thinking?
**[22:01] Philomela**
Miss Veronica...
**[22:09] Philomela**
Never mind.
**[22:13] Philomela**
I'm scared.
**[22:15] Philomela**
I'm scared.
**[22:17] Philomela**
I don't understand.
**[22:20] Philomela**
Everything is terrifying.

**[00:10] Joseph**
Snow...
**[00:12] Joseph**
Damn it.
**[00:14] Joseph**
I hate the cold.
**[00:21] Joseph**
What?
**[00:25] Joseph**
Are you starved for someone to care for
because the residents aren't here?
**[00:30] Joseph**
What a sad hangup.
**[00:40] Joseph**
Stop it.
**[00:42] Joseph**
I don't heal once I get hurt.
**[00:44] Joseph**
At least, not now.
**[01:06] Winter Goddess**
Is the maiden here?
**[01:37] Joseph**
What have you gone and done this time?
**[03:12] Lucy**
You can dive into other people's memories?
**[03:15] Chise**
I keep doing it by accident.
**[03:18] Lucy**
So you weren't looking on purpose?
**[03:21] Chise**
No.
**[03:22] Chise**
But I don't think what I see is an accident.
**[03:28] Chise**
It might be something they suffered
through or some kind of turning point.
**[03:37] Lucy**
Could you go into my memories again?
**[03:46] Lucy**
There are things you might not
notice even in your own memories.
**[03:50] Lucy**
I want you to check for stuff like that.
**[03:54] Chise**
But when I think about
having to see that again...
**[03:59] Lucy**
I'll help you with the language
and math exams coming up.
**[04:03] Chise**
Huh?
**[04:09] Chise**
Here I go.
**[04:10] Chise**
Close your eyes.
**[04:20] (Flashback) Werewolf (wife)**
Stop!
**[04:21] (Flashback) Werewolf (husband)**
Why are you stopping me?!
**[04:22] (Flashback) Werewolf (husband)**
We were told to kill everyone inside!
**[04:24] (Flashback) Werewolf (wife)**
There's a child in there!
**[04:25] (Flashback) Werewolf (wife)**
The littlest!
**[04:26] (Flashback) Werewolf (husband)**
They aren't from our pack!
**[04:27] Chise**
*It's that scene again.*
**[04:28] (Flashback) Werewolf (wife)**
Still, no!
**[04:29] (Flashback) Werewolf (wife)**
I don't want to kill kids!
**[04:31] (Flashback) Werewolf (husband)**
Please, just do it.
**[04:32] (Flashback) Werewolf (wife)**
No! I can't do this!
**[04:34] (Flashback) Werewolf (wife)**
I can't kill children!
**[04:34] Chise**
*Werewolves.*
**[04:36] (Flashback) Werewolf (wife)**
And I don't want you to, either!
**[04:39] (Flashback) Werewolf (husband)**
Do you not care what
happens to our children?!
**[04:42] (Flashback) Werewolf (husband)**
We don't have a choice!
**[04:44] Chise**
She's protecting Lucy.
**[04:55] (Flashback) Philomela**
I'm sorry.
**[04:59] (Flashback) Philomela**
May the night forever protect you.
**[05:11] Chise**
Lucy?
**[05:14] Lucy**
I feel gross.
**[05:19] Lucy**
So, did you find anything?
**[05:22] Chise**
I saw a child.
**[05:25] Chise**
About your age.
**[05:29] Chise**
She said she was sorry.
**[05:36] Lucy**
What the hell does that mean?
**[05:43] Lucy**
What the hell?!
**[05:46] Gregory**
So the College remains closed
through Christmas, I see.
**[05:52] Liza**
We haven't caught the attacker yet.
**[05:55] Liza**
I don't have a choice, do I?
**[05:57] Gregory**
Just what are you trying to do?
**[06:02] Gregory**
You haven't investigated
the students, the instructors,
**[06:05] Gregory**
the waste tower or the labs.
**[06:07] Gregory**
All you've really done
is deploy golems to patrol.
**[06:11] Gregory**
It doesn't seem to me as though you're
honestly trying to find the attacker.
**[06:20] Liza**
Most others have more resources
available to them than I do.
**[06:25] Liza**
I'm simply trying to accomplish
the most I can for the least work.
**[06:38] Philomela**
The College is to remain closed...
**[06:49] Philomela**
When am I going to be free from this?
**[07:08] Student A**
Morning.
**[07:10] Student B**
Did you see the school announcement?
**[07:12] Kevin**
We still aren't going home...
**[07:15] Roy**
Hey, it's not like we're
getting fewer days off.
**[07:19] Roy**
The Christmas party still starts today!
**[07:23] Roy**
We'll get to eat better than usual!
**[07:26] Kevin**
Damn it!
**[07:29] Chise**
There.
**[07:32] Chise**
Is this what you've been working on?
**[07:35] Zoe**
Rune amulets?
**[07:37] Liza**
Thorn, huh?
**[07:39] Liza**
That's a pretty unusual rune.
**[07:42] Chise**
I just felt like...
**[07:45] Chise**
This would be the rune for me.
**[07:49] Chise**
They're for all of you.
**[07:52] Chise**
As p-presents.
**[07:56] Chise**
Oh, if you don't want—
**[07:58] Zoe**
We can have them?!
**[07:59] Isaac**
A mage's handmade amulet isn't
an easy thing to come by these days.
**[08:03] Isaac**
Thanks!
**[08:05] Lucy**
Thanks...
**[08:06] Chise**
Where's Rian?
**[08:08] Chise**
I have one for him, too.
**[08:09] Isaac**
Chasing after Philomela, as usual.
**[08:12] Lucy**
Still?
**[08:14] Chise**
He still hasn't gotten to apologize.
**[08:18] Chise**
If you see him, could you give this to him?
**[08:20] Chise**
I have to go for a regular checkup.
**[08:22] Isaac**
Got it.
**[08:24] Chise**
Thanks!
**[08:25] Zoe**
You're coming to the Christmas party, right?
**[08:28] Lucy**
You have to wear your gown.
**[08:29] Chise**
Okay.
**[08:44] Chise**
Smells like Philomela.
**[09:00] Chise**
Alcyone-san.
**[09:02] Alcyone**
Chise.
**[09:04] Alcyone**
Is something the matter?
**[09:05] Chise**
I smelled Philo—
**[09:08] Chise**
I sensed Philomela.
**[09:11] Chise**
I'm glad I found you, though.
**[09:13] Chise**
Is Philomela in her dorm room?
**[09:16] Chise**
I want to give her something—
**[09:17] Alcyone**
Lady Philomela isn't feeling well.
**[09:21] Alcyone**
She's unable to meet with anyone.
**[09:23] Chise**
I haven't seen her outside
of class lately, either.
**[09:28] Chise**
Could you hand this to her, then?
**[09:32] Chise**
It's an amulet.
**[09:37] Alcyone**
An amulet...
**[09:40] Chise**
May it aid her someday.
**[09:51] Alcyone**
Thank you.
**[09:53] Alcyone**
For thinking of her.
**[10:24] Adam**
*Mom...*
**[10:26] Adam**
*Mom...*
**[10:28] (Flashback) Adam**
Mom...
**[10:30] (Flashback) Adam**
I won't do as you say anymore.
**[10:40] Lizbeth**
I'll take you back soon, Adam.
**[10:52] Alexandra**
Good.
**[10:54] Alexandra**
It doesn't look like your curse has
spread or been very active so far.
**[10:59] Chise**
Is the curse something that spreads?
**[11:03] Alexandra**
Yes.
**[11:05] Alexandra**
The curse you bear is very
much like a living being.
**[11:10] Alexandra**
Though, it's not quite the same as the
hexes that are practiced in sorcery.
**[11:15] Chise**
Hexes that are practiced in sorcery?
**[11:17] Alexandra**
Put simply, curses cast by humans.
**[11:22] Alexandra**
They're based on strong human emotions.
**[11:26] Alexandra**
Animus, regret, jealousy, envy...
**[11:30] Alexandra**
Such things can be used to induce
and manipulate outcomes.
**[11:35] Chise**
Induce outcomes?
**[11:40] Alexandra**
Misfortune, sickness, injury...
**[11:43] Alexandra**
Anxiety, and even death.
**[11:46] Alexandra**
A basic curse might be one in which you
tell someone that they are cursed.
**[11:54] Alexandra**
You know how impressionable humans can be.
**[11:59] Alexandra**
They might associate a random unfortunate
event and turn it into real misfortune.
**[12:04] Alexandra**
In that way, you don't need even need
to be a sorcerer to curse someone.
**[12:09] Chise**
I never knew.
**[12:11] Alexandra**
But curses meant to hurt another
typically comes back to the attacker.
**[12:19] Alexandra**
To bring someone harm, you have to be
ready to be harmed to the same degree.
**[12:27] Chise**
"You reap what you sow."
**[12:53] Philomela**
I can't remember.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
You're unbelievably slow.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Your father was nothing like you.
**[13:06] Philomela**
I don't know.
**[13:08] Philomela**
I don't understand, Grandmother.
**[13:13] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Why are you still alive?
**[13:19] Philomela**
What can I do so you'll accept me?
**[13:27] Alexandra**
The curse you bear is akin
to old sorcery and magic.
**[13:33] Alexandra**
The work of a sentient entity.
**[13:37] Alexandra**
It implores you to be a certain way.
**[13:45] Chise**
Which means...
**[13:48] Chise**
I'll never be free of this curse, right?
**[13:57] Alcyone**
Lady Philomela.
**[13:59] Alcyone**
I've brought water—
**[14:01] Alcyone**
Lady Philomela!
**[14:09] Veronica**
Philomela?
**[14:13] Veronica**
Philomela?
**[14:17] Veronica**
Philomela?
**[14:21] Veronica**
Philomela?
**[14:24] Veronica**
Philomela?
**[14:25] Philomela**
I can't...
**[14:28] Veronica**
Philomela?
**[14:43] Alcyone**
I was asked to give this to you.
**[15:13] Philomela**
More...
**[15:15] Philomela**
I want more.
**[15:52] Veronica**
Philomela?
**[15:54] Philomela**
I need to gather more.
**[16:01] Veronica**
Are you all right?
**[16:03] Veronica**
You're well enough to get up today—
**[16:10] Philomela**
I've always lived in fear of you.
**[16:20] Rian**
Still no?
**[16:22] Olivia**
Show up whenever you like.
**[16:23] Olivia**
I'm still not letting you in
the girls' dorms, mister.
**[16:28] Rian**
Even now?
**[16:29] Olivia**
Th-That's...
**[16:30] Olivia**
Slightly good food!
**[16:43] Alexandra**
Chise?!
**[16:46] Ruth**
Something's wrong with Chise!
**[16:49] Ruth**
Chise!
**[16:51] Chise**
Ruth...
**[16:57] Elias**
What happened?
**[16:59] Chise**
It's...
**[17:00] Chise**
The magic book.
**[17:02] Chise**
It's nearby, along with the holder.
**[17:08] Rian**
What happened?!
**[17:25] Rian**
What are you?!
**[17:29] Rian**
Hold it!
**[17:30] Olivia**
I'll let the teachers know!
**[17:45] Alcyone**
She's been corrupted.
**[17:52] Chise**
Elias...
**[17:54] Chise**
I want to help.
**[18:01] Elias**
All right.
**[18:04] Elias**
Let's chase them together.
**[18:08] Chise**
R-Really?
**[18:10] Chise**
I thought you were going to leave me here.
**[18:13] Elias**
If it's going to come after you anyway,
we're better off sticking together.
**[18:20] Elias**
Besides, it might start sapping more
magic out of its victims if we let it.
**[18:29] Elias**
By which I mean, I think we're both
trying to help our friends, here.
**[18:38] Chise**
Let's go!
**[18:43] Rian**
Stop!
**[18:46] Rian**
She's been robbed of magic power.
**[18:54] Rian**
That's the magic book's...
**[19:04] Rian**
Ancient bull, sovereign
of the land of tears...
**[19:09] Rian**
With the blood of the beginning child,
**[19:11] Rian**
let drain the red well and
sever the root of immortality!
**[19:39] Philomela**
That way.
**[19:41] Rian**
Do you still mean to consume magic power?!
**[19:44] Rian**
What's your goal?!
**[19:46] Rian**
What's worth changing into that—
**[19:51] Philomela**
I can't stand it.
**[19:57] Philomela**
You're always right.
**[20:01] Philomela**
And strong.
**[20:02] Philomela**
And honest.
**[20:04] Philomela**
And decisive.
**[20:06] Philomela**
Being with you, this one feels
pathetic, and foolish, and worthless.
**[20:16] Rian**
Wait, you can't be...
**[20:18] Philomela**
Rian...
**[20:20] Rian**
I've always hated you.
**[20:29] Lucy**
Hey, could you get Rian to stop
coming to the girls' dorm?
**[20:34] Lucy**
Is the young master in love or something?
**[20:37] Isaac**
I don't think it's like that.
**[20:39] Isaac**
I think he's...
**[20:44] Isaac**
Rian!
**[21:03] Philomela**
Look at all of them.
**[21:20] Narcissus**
The students...
**[21:33] Philomela**
I'm glad you're here.
**[21:36] Philomela**
Principal.
**[21:39] Philomela**
Could you please let me out of the College?
**[21:46] Isaac**
Rian!
**[21:48] Isaac**
Rian, are you okay?!
**[21:50] Chise**
Rian!
**[21:52] Isaac**
Ow!
**[21:56] Rian**
Stop her. Please.
**[21:59] Lucy**
Wait, Rian, who's *her*?!
**[22:02] Rian**
That thing...
**[22:08] Rian**
is Philomela!
**[22:10] Philomela**
I must go and welcome...
**[22:14] Philomela**
my mother and father, who are waiting in Hell.

**[00:05] Homeless Man A**
Have you seen Tom lately?
**[00:08] Homeless Man B**
Nope, I haven't.
**[00:11] Homeless Man A**
Jimmy and Norton are missing, too.
**[00:14] Homeless Man B**
Hope they aren't getting beat up somewhere.
**[00:17] Homeless Man B**
Scary thought.
**[00:20] Homeless Man A**
They might have keeled over
and died in the cold.
**[00:45] Chise**
Philomela...
**[02:29] Liza**
Welcoming your father and mother, huh?
**[02:32] Liza**
I see.
**[02:33] Liza**
More sinful than Orpheus, who traveled
to the underworld to seek his wife.
**[02:42] Liza**
You did that to yourself just
to bring back the dead?
**[02:48] Philomela**
Yes.
**[02:49] Philomela**
That's right.
**[02:51] Philomela**
So I'd like you to stop
closing off the College.
**[02:56] Philomela**
That's my only wish.
**[02:59] Philomela**
You wouldn't want to end up with
people who are as dried out
**[03:04] Philomela**
and lifeless as a pouch of
forgotten potpourri, would you?
**[03:13] Chise**
Philomela!
**[03:16] Narcissus**
Stay out!
**[03:28] Zoe**
The amulet!
**[03:32] Chise**
Even though she's changed form, I can tell.
**[03:36] Chise**
That's Philomela.
**[03:38] Liza**
Philomela Sargant.
**[03:40] Liza**
*That's* her?
**[03:46] Liza**
She's begun corrupting the instructors, too.
**[03:50] Liza**
She passes through even mental defenses.
**[03:53] Liza**
There must be a god inside that thing.
**[03:56] Philomela**
Principal, I'm pleading with you...
**[04:00] Philomela**
Open the College. Please?
**[04:07] Liza**
Florence.
**[04:30] Philomela**
Thank you very much.
**[04:33] Philomela**
Well, with that...
**[04:40] Gregory**
Follower of the moon,
**[04:42] Gregory**
incarnate of the moon, one
who bears unwanted pity...
**[04:49] Gregory**
Sing your rage. Sing your hatred!
**[04:54] Chise**
Philome—
**[04:55] Elias**
No.
**[05:15] Philomela**
Alcyone...?
**[05:19] Alcyone**
Lady Philomela...
**[05:33] Gregory**
A werewolf!
**[06:13] Alexandra**
Give us a hand if you aren't injured!
**[06:17] Seth**
Would you happen to know?
**[06:22] Tory**
You all right?
**[06:32] Tory**
I don't think you can get up yet.
**[06:34] Tory**
Stay put until your magic power comes back.
**[06:36] Tory**
I'm gonna go help out.
**[06:43] Rian**
Shit.
**[06:45] Liza**
I trust there are none dead.
**[06:48] Liza**
Go help in the nurse's office.
**[06:51] Chise**
Principal.
**[06:53] Liza**
Ah, you kids are safe.
**[06:57] Liza**
Thank goodness.
**[06:58] Chise**
We're going after them.
**[07:00] Lucy**
I agree. We need to chase them.
**[07:02] Liza**
Forget it.
**[07:04] Liza**
She's clearly been far too corrupted
by the resident of the magic book.
**[07:12] Liza**
She's beginning to lose her humanity.
**[07:17] Liza**
Her body and mind will soon
fail, and she'll be done.
**[07:23] Chise**
So it was all right to kill her?
**[07:27] Chise**
I understand you were never intent
on trying to hold her down.
**[07:32] Liza**
I'm responsible for this College.
**[07:36] Liza**
I must prioritize the health and
safety of the staff and students.
**[07:43] Liza**
It isn't prudent to spend time on someone
**[07:46] Liza**
who's well aware that
she's destroying herself.
**[07:50] Liza**
Unless, that is...
**[07:51] Liza**
You're suggesting I should have placed
everyone's lives on the line to save her alone?
**[08:00] Chise**
Well...
**[08:01] Liza**
Or do you think you could
have done something?
**[08:05] Liza**
Perhaps your courage has helped you
through many past ordeals.
**[08:11] Liza**
If the result of that is that arm of yours,
I can only conclude that you are a fool.
**[08:18] Liza**
Chise Hatori, if you truly
want to protect your friends,
**[08:25] Liza**
you'll have to put away your pathetic,
self-congratulatory sense of compassion.
**[08:40] Chise**
I know...
**[08:43] Chise**
I know I have to hold back.
**[08:47] Chise**
I know I'm just doing it to satisfy myself.
**[08:52] Chise**
But...
**[08:56] Chise**
If I hold back now, she'll die!
**[09:10] Elias**
Good on you.
**[09:15] Chise**
E-Elias?
**[09:18] Elias**
You would normally have darted off by now.
**[09:22] Elias**
I hear that when a puppy learns
to *stay*, it needs to be rewarded.
**[09:29] Chise**
R-Right...
**[09:31] Liza**
Ainsworth?
**[09:35] Elias**
The College is a place that
raises prospective sorcerers.
**[09:39] Elias**
But, Chise, what about us?
**[09:44] Elias**
What are we?
**[09:50] Chise**
Mages.
**[09:53] Elias**
That's right.
**[09:55] Elias**
Had you formed a contract
of any sort with her?
**[09:59] Chise**
A contract...
**[10:05] Chise**
I made a promise.
**[10:08] Chise**
That we'd make potpourri
together someday.
**[10:12] Elias**
Then, as a mage, you'll have
to uphold that contract.
**[10:18] Liza**
Ainsworth.
**[10:20] Liza**
Don't you dare tell me...
**[10:22] Elias**
So long as we are bound by a contract,
a mage must act as a mage.
**[10:29] Elias**
We'll be away for a while.
**[10:31] Liza**
Nothing good can come of
spoiling your apprentices.
**[10:36] Elias**
We're simply following the rules.
**[10:47] Elias**
Chise?
**[10:48] Lucy**
Mister Ainsworth.
**[10:50] Lucy**
Take me with you, please!
**[10:52] Zoe**
M-Me, too!
**[10:54] Isaac**
And me.
**[10:55] Elias**
I can't take you all.
**[10:57] Lucy**
The one who killed my family
ran off with my classmate.
**[11:02] Lucy**
I won't be satisfied until
I get an answer out of them!
**[11:06] Isaac**
And I can't have her dying now.
**[11:09] Isaac**
We're finally about to
become venting buddies.
**[11:12] Zoe**
I, er, well...
**[11:15] Zoe**
I'm worried about them.
**[11:17] Zoe**
B-Besides, the only thing
I can do to help is—
**[11:21] Zaccheroni**
Plotting a coup, are we?
**[11:24] Zoe**
Mister Zaccheroni!
**[11:26] Zaccheroni**
Sounds good to me!
**[11:27] Zaccheroni**
Why not go against the
grown-ups' orders for once?
**[11:32] Zaccheroni**
I'll tag along if you need some help.
**[11:35] Elias**
What is your goal?
**[11:38] Zaccheroni**
You get a bonus for good deeds.
**[11:41] Zaccheroni**
More trustworthy than
an unpaid service, no?
**[11:47] Elias**
You're right.
**[11:49] Elias**
In that case, I'm not responsible
for what happens to any of you.
**[11:55] Zaccheroni**
Hear that? Sir Mage here won't
protect anyone but his apprentice.
**[11:59] Zaccheroni**
Aspiring sorcerers, you're going to have
to fend for yourselves as much as you can.
**[12:04] Zaccheroni**
But hey, if it comes to it,
I'll protect your lives.
**[12:12] Lucy**
Chise?
**[12:25] Liza**
Florence?
**[12:33] Chise**
Children...
**[12:35] Chise**
My brethren, burning in accursed rage...
**[12:41] Chise**
Crawl, if you cannot fly.
**[12:44] Chise**
Go to the bottom.
**[12:48] Chise**
Go, consuming my path of blood.
**[12:54] Elias**
This is bad.
**[12:59] Seth**
Lucy!
**[13:04] Seth**
They're gone.
**[13:06] Gregory**
*That's* a mage?
**[13:08] Gregory**
There's no way something like
that is a mere mage.
**[13:24] Izak**
Yule's just around the corner.
**[13:27] Izak**
I wish we could get some progress, already.
**[13:31] Marielle**
I've told you so many times.
**[13:34] Marielle**
I don't know when—
**[13:47] Izak**
Did you see that?
**[13:48] Marielle**
Of course.
**[13:50] Marielle**
I wish I could pretend I didn't.
**[13:53] Izak**
Should we?
**[13:54] Marielle**
Idiot.
**[13:55] Marielle**
A red dragon on this island...
**[13:58] Marielle**
This is going to be a nightmare.
**[14:03] Chise**
Follow... follow...
**[14:06] Chise**
Follow the scent.
**[14:11] Chise**
Seek out her heart.
**[14:41] Lizbeth**
You're back, I see.
**[14:43] Lizbeth**
And you've become quite unsightly.
**[14:47] Lizbeth**
Philomela.
**[14:56] Lizbeth**
It seems you've carried out
your work properly for once.
**[15:02] Philomela**
Grandmother...
**[15:04] Philomela**
Father and Mother will come back now, right?
**[15:10] Philomela**
Both of them, finally...
**[15:16] Philomela**
What I did...
**[15:18] Philomela**
What I did was praiseworthy, wasn't it?
**[15:29] Lizbeth**
Alcyone, take her underground by sundown.
**[15:34] Alcyone**
Right...
**[15:36] Lizbeth**
You wait outside.
**[15:38] Lizbeth**
Deal with anyone who
interferes with the ritual.
**[15:55] Zoe**
Where am I?
**[16:03] Zoe**
Lucy.
**[16:04] Zoe**
Lucy.
**[16:07] Lucy**
Zoe.
**[16:08] Zoe**
Are you all right?
**[16:10] Isaac**
I'm right here, too.
**[16:12] Zoe**
Isaac!
**[16:13] Isaac**
I remember up to being
swallowed by black liquid...
**[16:20] Lucy**
That's all I remember, too.
**[16:22] Lucy**
Where are we?
**[16:24] Elias**
The inside.
**[16:28] Elias**
The only way I could take you with me
was to bring you inside myself.
**[16:35] Zaccheroni**
Hey, you, mage.
**[16:37] Zaccheroni**
Could you give me a little more space?
**[16:40] Zaccheroni**
I'm stuck.
**[16:41] Elias**
You're just too big.
**[16:45] Isaac**
So we're on your inside now...
**[16:50] Isaac**
Why?
**[16:52] Elias**
Because she's moving.
**[16:54] Elias**
She's on the move.
**[16:56] Elias**
She seems to be following her scent
through the underground veins.
**[17:00] Isaac**
Her scent?
**[17:02] Elias**
The scent of her emotions.
**[17:03] Elias**
The scent of her soul.
**[17:05] Elias**
We tend to rely on such things.
**[17:09] Zaccheroni**
You sound like animals.
**[17:11] Elias**
Humans are animals, too.
**[17:13] Elias**
But you wouldn't be able to
dive with us on your own.
**[17:18] Elias**
So I had to take you inside me.
**[17:21] Lucy**
Underground veins?
**[17:23] Lucy**
There's no way mere humans
could pass through.
**[17:26] Lucy**
That's no different than going
directly into the ground.
**[17:28] Elias**
That's a rule for sorcerers.
**[17:31] Elias**
There is no such rule for mages.
**[17:34] Elias**
Though, there aren't many left
who can do these sorts of things.
**[17:40] Zoe**
What's an underground vein?
**[17:42] Isaac**
An underground passageway for power.
**[17:45] Isaac**
Some are one-way streets.
**[17:47] Isaac**
Some are two-way.
**[17:49] Isaac**
Some are tumultuous, like storms.
**[17:52] Isaac**
Some would say it's pure
magic power and vitality.
**[17:55] Lucy**
Others theorize that it's
a mass of organisms.
**[17:59] Isaac**
Big cities often form where
underground veins pass.
**[18:05] Zoe**
Mother's Back!
**[18:07] Lucy**
Say what?
**[18:09] Zoe**
Oh, it's a phrase from my people's language.
**[18:11] Zoe**
Strings of land where water and trees
and animals and people gather.
**[18:16] Isaac**
You have the same concept even
in a different language, huh?
**[18:20] Zaccheroni**
And that silly girl is swimming through
those parts of the ground, huh?
**[18:24] Elias**
Yeah.
**[18:26] Zaccheroni**
Mister mage, you lot create magic with the help
of fairies and sprites and such, don't you?
**[18:34] Zaccheroni**
Whose help did she receive in
order to become a damn dragon?
**[18:41] Zoe, Isaac & Lucy**
A dragon?
**[18:44] Elias**
We're surfacing.
**[18:47] Elias**
Magic is never overturned.
**[18:50] Elias**
So we can think about it later.
**[19:26] Elias**
All of you, wait here.
**[19:29] Elias**
I promise I'll come get you out later.
**[19:33] Lucy**
Hold on—
**[19:33] Elias**
Go out and make eye contact with it now...
**[19:38] Elias**
and you'll be consumed by
old maternal instincts.
**[19:49] Goddess of Winter**
There you are.
**[19:51] Goddess of Winter**
Have you prepared the offering, maiden?
**[19:57] Subordinate A**
Ms. Lizbeth was right.
**[19:59] Subordinate A**
We have intruders.
**[20:01] Subordinate C**
They have quite a bit of magic power.
**[20:03] Subordinate A**
Sorcerers?
**[20:05] Subordinate C**
There seem to be several, but
I can't make a determination.
**[20:08] Subordinate C**
All I can see is one.
**[20:11] Subordinate C**
A child with red hair.
**[20:13] Subordinate C**
No, another one...
**[20:16] Subordinate C**
A woman?
**[20:17] Subordinate C**
No, that isn't...
**[20:19] Subordinate C**
That's...
**[20:20] Subordinate C**
A...
**[20:31] Subordinate A**
Hey!
**[20:32] Subordinate A**
What's wrong?
**[20:32] Subordinate A**
Hey!
**[20:34] Subordinate C**
A-A crow!
**[20:41] Alcyone**
Lady Philomela...
**[20:43] Philomela**
Will she...
**[20:45] Philomela**
Will Grandmother really bring
them both back to life?
**[20:53] Philomela**
Alcyone...
**[20:54] Philomela**
Why do I want to have them back?
**[20:59] Philomela**
I...
**[21:01] Philomela**
I don't even remember what
Mother and Father look like.
**[21:09] Philomela**
But...
**[21:11] Philomela**
But if they come back, I'm sure...
**[21:16] Philomela**
They would praise me, even for what I am.
**[21:24] Alcyone**
What shall I do?
**[21:26] Alcyone**
What am I to do at a time like this?
**[21:30] Alcyone**
What could I possibly do?
**[21:35] Alcyone**
I thought I knew...
**[21:38] Alcyone**
Something's wrong.
**[21:39] Alcyone**
This can't be...
**[21:49] Alcyone**
I was certain I'd recorded it.
**[21:55] Alcyone**
Ever since then...
**[22:04] (Flashback) Adam**
Hey.
**[22:05] (Flashback) Adam**
I'm Adam Sargant.
**[22:08] (Flashback) Adam**
I'm your master, Alcyone.
**[22:12] (Flashback) Adam**
I'll leave you in charge of the
most important task in the world.
**[22:16] (Flashback) Adam**
Right, Iris?

**[00:01] (Flashback) Iris**
Adam...
**[00:03] (Flashback) Iris**
I-I can't take it anymore.
**[00:05] (Flashback) Adam**
Yeah, of course.
**[00:07] (Flashback) Adam**
It's okay. Go get some sleep.
**[00:11] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Master... what is this?
**[00:15] (Flashback) Adam**
A child.
**[00:16] (Flashback) Adam**
A newborn.
**[00:17] (Flashback) Adam**
A baby.
**[00:19] (Flashback) Adam**
Erm...
**[00:21] (Flashback) Adam**
Anyway, we're going to have you
support us in raising her.
**[00:26] (Flashback) Adam**
We can't ask anyone for help
because of our circumstances.
**[00:31] (Flashback) Adam**
This is Philomela.
**[00:34] (Flashback) Adam**
Please.
**[00:39] (Flashback) Adam**
Iris and I are both sleep deprived.
**[00:42] (Flashback) Adam**
I'm going to catch up a bit, too.
**[00:58] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Lady Philomela.
**[01:39] (Flashback) Adam**
Shall we start heading back?
**[01:42] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Yes, Master.
**[03:38] (Flashback) Adam**
Spider of the water surface,
spin a string of silver.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Adam**
Sheep of glass, weave the silver hairs.
**[03:46] (Flashback) Adam**
Mirror of silver, show the form of danger.
**[03:51] (Flashback) Adam**
Seal away the dangers that
may befall the child.
**[03:56] (Flashback) Adam**
That should ease her fever.
**[03:58] (Flashback) Philomela**
I wanna play.
**[03:58] (Flashback) Adam**
Let's leave some in the fridge.
**[04:00] (Flashback) Iris**
Not today.
**[04:01] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Yes.
**[04:08] (Flashback) Alcyone**
I haven't seen you use sorcery in a while.
**[04:12] (Flashback) Adam**
That was a primitive hex for
transferring symptoms to a doll.
**[04:17] (Flashback) Adam**
Hexes are my favorite kind of sorcery.
**[04:21] (Flashback) Adam**
Though you wouldn't normally
use them on children.
**[04:24] (Flashback) Adam**
Hey, you're getting better at that.
**[04:28] (Flashback) Adam**
Artificial fairies aren't normally thought
to change from their original settings.
**[04:34] (Flashback) Adam**
Go me.
**[04:36] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Am I growing?
**[04:39] (Flashback) Adam**
You sure are.
**[04:41] (Flashback) Adam**
Everyone in this family is.
**[04:43] (Flashback) Adam**
You fail, you scramble to find remedies,
**[04:47] (Flashback) Adam**
and when you succeed, you fail again.
**[04:51] (Flashback) Adam**
We weren't allowed to fail
back at my other home.
**[04:55] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Which home would that be?
**[04:57] (Flashback) Adam**
Ah, I haven't told you about it.
**[05:01] (Flashback) Adam**
The Sargants have always
had someone to serve.
**[05:06] (Flashback) Adam**
We specialize in doing people's dirty work.
**[05:08] (Flashback) Adam**
Getting rid of people that
our masters don't like.
**[05:12] (Flashback) Adam**
Torturing people for information.
**[05:15] (Flashback) Adam**
One day, Iris was sold off to us.
**[05:20] (Flashback) Adam**
As a lab rat for my sorcery.
**[05:25] (Flashback) Lisbeth**
Use her to practice
restraint so as not to kill.
**[05:32] (Flashback) Adam**
Yes.
**[05:47] (Flashback) Leánnan sÃdhe**
Hold still, damn it!
**[05:50] (Flashback) Iris**
I'll never, *ever* bow to you!
**[06:04] (Flashback) Adam**
So anyway, thanks to
Iris, I was disciplined.
**[06:10] (Flashback) Adam**
The would-be heir abandoned his mother,
his lineage, and his family name.
**[06:15] (Flashback) Adam**
And now he's here.
**[06:17] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Your mother...
**[06:20] (Flashback) Adam**
She thinks of me as
an extension of herself.
**[06:24] (Flashback) Alcyone**
I see.
**[06:26] (Flashback) Alcyone**
By the way, Master...
**[06:28] (Flashback) Alcyone**
It's burning.
**[06:37] (Flashback) Iris**
Has she calmed down?
**[06:39] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Yes.
**[06:40] (Flashback) Alcyone**
It seems that the treat I'd given
her wasn't what she wanted today.
**[06:44] (Flashback) Iris**
Thanks, Alcyone.
**[06:47] (Flashback) Iris**
I appreciate it.
**[06:49] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Master has informed me that this is
the most important task in the world.
**[06:53] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Nothing is of a higher priority.
**[06:59] (Flashback) Iris**
Good girl.
**[07:02] (Flashback) Iris**
Man, I wish I had a camera.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Iris**
All the smiles, the sobbing, the silliness...
**[07:09] (Flashback) Iris**
It's all gone in an instant.
**[07:12] (Flashback) Alcyone**
A camera?
**[07:14] (Flashback) Iris**
We can't have any photos used
against us, so we don't have one.
**[07:18] (Flashback) Iris**
We're on the run from
a scary witch, after all.
**[07:21] (Flashback) Iris**
My parents used to take lots of photos.
**[07:25] (Flashback) Iris**
The walls at home were covered in them.
**[07:27] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Master said your mother sold you, too.
**[07:33] (Flashback) Iris**
Our financial situation
went bad in an instant.
**[07:36] (Flashback) Iris**
Still, who'd have thought I'd
end up eloping with the guy
**[07:39] (Flashback) Iris**
I headbutted out of
frustration when I got sold off?
**[07:42] (Flashback) Iris**
Life sure is unpredictable.
**[07:46] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Frustration?
**[07:47] (Flashback) Iris**
He was a well-dressed kid who
didn't have a worry in the world.
**[07:51] (Flashback) Iris**
And I was told he was about to experiment
on me. Of course I was pissed.
**[07:58] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Do you hate Master?
**[08:04] (Flashback) Iris**
I'm not sure.
**[08:06] (Flashback) Iris**
But we ended up having
this cute girl together.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Iris**
I'm scared, though.
**[08:18] (Flashback) Iris**
I don't know if I'll be able to prioritize her
if something ever really does happen.
**[08:25] (Flashback) Iris**
After all, I'm the child of someone
who sold off their own kid.
**[08:39] (Flashback) Alcyone**
My duty,
**[08:42] (Flashback) Alcyone**
even if you or Master were to do such
a thing, is to protect Lady Philomela.
**[08:52] (Flashback) Iris**
Hey, Alcyone, please
remember today, too.
**[08:59] (Flashback) Iris**
So if there's ever a day when neither
Adam nor I can tell her ourselves,
**[09:02] (Flashback) Iris**
you'll be there to teach her about the difficult
times and the joyful times, like today.
**[09:17] (Flashback) Adam**
Ham, cheese, bacon, potatoes, carrots.
**[09:22] (Flashback) Adam**
That should be about all
the shopping I need to do.
**[09:28] (Flashback) Adam**
Well, this is rather alarming.
**[09:31] (Flashback) Adam**
In the city, no less.
**[09:32] (Flashback) Chaser A**
The mistress wants me to inform
you that playtime is over.
**[09:38] (Flashback) Adam**
Playtime, huh?
**[09:40] (Flashback) Adam**
That sounds like something she'd say.
**[09:43] Adam**
*A barrier to keep people away.*
**[09:45] (Flashback) Adam**
Well, she hadn't sent anyone after us.
**[09:49] (Flashback) Adam**
I figured she was toying with us.
**[09:51] (Flashback) Chaser A**
No more playing house.
**[09:53] (Flashback) Chaser A**
With your daughter as grown as she is,
**[09:56] (Flashback) Chaser A**
we can no longer allow you to roam free.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Chaser A**
Lord Adam, we ask you
to return to the mansion.
**[10:02] (Flashback) Adam**
So she was waiting for her granddaughter
to grow old enough to use as a hostage.
**[10:13] (Flashback) Chaser B**
Shit! She's shooting at us!
**[10:15] (Flashback) Chaser C**
Open the damn door!
**[10:18] (Flashback) Chaser C**
Shoot the doorknob.
**[10:19] (Flashback) Chaser C**
We're breaking in!
**[10:21] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Master...
**[10:23] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Master.
**[10:23] (Flashback) Iris**
Alcyone!
**[10:25] (Flashback) Iris**
We'll catch up later.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Iris**
Don't give her to that house!
**[10:29] (Flashback) Philomela**
No, Mom!
**[10:31] (Flashback) Philomela**
I'm not going!
**[10:34] (Flashback) Philomela**
Mom!
**[10:37] (Flashback) Iris**
Wait for us up ahead.
**[10:41] (Flashback) Iris**
Go!
**[10:42] (Flashback) Iris**
I'll be right behind you!
**[10:43] (Flashback) Philomela**
Mom!
**[10:43] (Flashback) Chaser D**
Don't shoot!
**[10:44] (Flashback) Chaser D**
You'll hit the child!
**[10:54] (Flashback) Chaser D**
We shouldn't have lost the child.
**[10:57] (Flashback) Chaser D**
We didn't expect you to give up your life.
**[11:02] (Flashback) Chaser A**
What...
**[11:08] (Flashback) Chaser A**
Some kind of hex to mirror
an injury to your attacker?
**[11:18] (Flashback) Chaser A**
B-But you've sacrificed yourself.
**[11:21] (Flashback) Adam**
And?
**[11:23] (Flashback) Adam**
Now that I know what
the outside world is like...
**[11:25] (Flashback) Adam**
I'd never...
**[11:28] (Flashback) Adam**
go back to that damn place.
**[11:31] (Flashback) Adam**
I'm more certain of that
than anything else.
**[11:35] (Flashback) Adam**
I'd rather die than go back.
**[11:37] (Flashback) Chaser A**
Stop...
**[11:38] (Flashback) Chaser A**
No!
**[11:42] (Flashback) Adam**
Hey, Mom. Why don't we make one last bet?
**[11:49] (Flashback) Adam**
Let's make sure I never see you again.
**[11:58] (Flashback) Iris**
My life sure is shit.
**[12:03] (Flashback) Iris**
You bastards. Do you know how
long I've been with that guy?
**[12:10] (Flashback) Iris**
He pretends to be all nice,
**[12:12] (Flashback) Iris**
but he's just a cocky brat who
can't help but try to get even.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Adam**
This curse won't protect you,
but it'll take revenge.
**[12:29] (Flashback) Iris**
So you want me to trust you?
**[12:32] (Flashback) Adam**
Sorry.
**[12:33] (Flashback) Adam**
I'm sure you don't want to
be hurt in the first place.
**[12:37] (Flashback) Iris**
I don't care.
**[12:39] (Flashback) Iris**
It'll help me remember my anger and
my decision to leave this place.
**[12:44] (Flashback) Iris**
If you really feel guilty, you'll
become a really good sorcerer
**[12:49] (Flashback) Iris**
and get me out of here someday!
**[13:29] (Flashback) Iris**
I didn't want to die yet.
**[13:38] Alcyone**
* Master, Lady Iris, please be assured*
* that I am here for this child.*
**[13:45] Alcyone**
* Even if I am destroyed,*
* Lady Philomela will surely...*
**[13:55] (Flashback) Chaser E**
Damn artificial fairy,
making us chase you down...
**[14:10] Alcyone**
I was given a task.
**[14:22] Alcyone**
So why do I...
**[14:37] Morrigan**
A smart dog with a new master...
**[14:41] Morrigan**
You're barking up the wrong tree.
**[14:44] Chise**
Who are you?
**[14:46] Morrigan**
I ask of the maiden only one thing now.
**[14:50] Morrigan**
To bring here the golden branch.
**[14:53] Morrigan**
The one brimming with
the fruit of white vigor.
**[14:58] Chise**
Golden branch?
**[15:01] Chise**
What an odd voice. It's like
honey, sweet and viscous.
**[15:07] Elias**
She means mistletoe.
**[15:09] Chise**
Elias.
**[15:11] Elias**
Be strong.
**[15:12] Elias**
Don't look away.
**[15:14] Elias**
But don't look into her eyes.
**[15:16] Elias**
This is bad.
**[15:18] Elias**
I didn't expect a god like her to
show up now of all times.
**[15:22] Morrigan**
You, amalgamation.
**[15:24] Morrigan**
Dregs of the shadows of the forest.
**[15:27] Morrigan**
A pile of decaying twigs and
leaves, death and winter.
**[15:31] Morrigan**
Child of my domain.
**[15:34] Morrigan**
What scent of rot do you
smell in your dreams,
**[15:38] Morrigan**
covered in countless pieces
of flesh and skin?
**[15:43] Elias**
I apologize for the unsightly display,
mistress of the winter and night.
**[15:48] Morrigan**
Surely my daughter had informed you...
**[15:51] Morrigan**
That in the coming year, you would
give your fruit to the mother.
**[15:56] Elias**
Huh?
**[15:59] Elias**
There must have been a mistake.
**[16:04] Elias**
This maiden is still young.
**[16:08] Elias**
It would be difficult to provide
the sacrifice to you here and now.
**[16:13] Elias**
I will soon come prepared.
**[16:17] Elias**
Please forgive me for now.
**[16:21] Elias**
Did that not work?
**[16:23] Elias**
This is my only option, though.
**[16:25] Morrigan**
I do...
**[16:30] Morrigan**
I do smell the coming war.
**[16:34] Morrigan**
Though there are neither spears,
nor swords, nor shields, nor war horns...
**[16:43] Morrigan**
Indeed, indeed.
**[16:45] Morrigan**
While under siege, none would have
the time to search for the fruit of love.
**[16:50] Elias**
Shit...
**[16:51] Elias**
I don't want to deal with either of them.
**[16:53] Morrigan**
In that case...
**[16:54] Morrigan**
What do you desire,
**[16:56] Morrigan**
little bird that will take the form of a beast
symbolizing battle with heretics just to fly?
**[17:05] Chise**
What...
**[17:06] Chise**
What do I want?
**[17:08] Chise**
What to do?
**[17:10] Chise**
I—
**[17:11] Elias**
Chise.
**[17:12] Elias**
If you don't want to give up
something precious to you,
**[17:16] Elias**
you mustn't speak a wish to a god.
**[17:20] Morrigan**
You clever little runt.
**[17:22] Morrigan**
Then I shall lend you my help for now,
**[17:27] Morrigan**
provided that I will be given
the golden branch later.
**[17:31] Soldier A**
What? What are they talking about?
**[17:33] Soldier B**
What are they doing here?
**[17:35] Morrigan**
Seek my form.
**[17:38] Morrigan**
Create my outline.
**[17:40] Morrigan**
Bind me to myself.
**[17:43] Morrigan**
Speak it.
**[17:49] Elias**
Chise, neither you nor I can refuse
the requests of an ancient god.
**[17:55] Elias**
I don't know whether this will make
our situation better or worse, but...
**[18:00] Chise**
If I have to do it now, I'll
do it first and then decide.
**[18:04] Elias**
That's how I've known you to be.
**[18:07] Elias**
Follow my lead.
**[18:10] Elias**
Now that you've been called,
you should know its name.
**[18:17] Elias & Chise**
Beautiful is the battlefield.
**[18:19] Elias & Chise**
Beautiful is the blood-tainted sky.
**[18:21] Soldier A**
Stop the chanting!
**[18:22] Soldier A**
It's an atrophied god!
**[18:25] Soldier A**
Kill the medium before she's given her name!
**[18:30] Elias**
Why would I allow that?
**[18:32] Chise**
Sing your grief.
**[18:34] Chise**
Wash the blood away from your armor.
**[18:36] Chise**
Queen of nightmares, cackling in the night;
**[18:39] Chise**
mistress of heroes,
mother of warriors...
**[18:43] Chise**
Bring to your head the crown of thorns.
**[18:46] Chise**
Bring here your name.
**[18:49] Chise**
Bring here the name of the goddess Morrígan.
**[18:57] Morrigan**
Over millennia, I lost my
people and my language,
**[19:03] Morrigan**
and my land was taken from me.
**[19:07] Morrigan**
Millennia later, I was summoned
by the maiden from afar.
**[19:14] Soldier C**
What are these things?!
**[19:16] Morrigan**
Now, my fine, strong men, this is
the battle you've been waiting for.
**[19:22] Morrigan**
Tear them apart.
**[19:23] Morrigan**
Pierce their flesh, break their
bones and cut them down.
**[19:28] Morrigan**
Live valiantly and steal pathetically.
**[19:32] Morrigan**
Flee pitifully and die in flames.
**[19:35] Morrigan**
Know that none who fight on the goddess
Morrígan's battlefield will escape!
**[19:54] Morrigan**
Poor thing.
**[19:57] Morrigan**
You never expected your first
battle to end like this, did you?
**[20:05] Elias**
It looks like we'll be able to reach the
mansion without being attacked, thanks to her.
**[20:10] Elias**
It turned out well, but a god's
actions really are unpredictable.
**[20:16] Elias**
As are yours.
**[20:18] Elias**
Chise?
**[20:20] Chise**
It's nothing.
**[20:21] Chise**
Let's go.
**[20:23] Chise**
I didn't think I had any other choice.
**[20:25] Chise**
I'm just glad I don't know anyone here.
**[20:29] Chise**
Do I really know how to
distinguish people from sheep?
**[20:39] Zoe**
A-Are we out?
**[20:40] Isaac**
Where are we?
**[20:42] Elias**
The Sargant family's yard.
**[20:44] Lucy**
So, what happened, anyway?
**[20:48] Chise**
A lot of stuff.
**[20:50] Lucy**
You look pale.
**[20:52] Isaac**
Guys, hear me out.
**[20:54] Isaac**
We should get our objectives in order.
**[20:56] Zoe**
Our objectives?
**[20:58] Isaac**
What are we prioritizing?
**[20:59] Isaac**
We need to get that straight, or we
could end up turning on each other.
**[21:04] Isaac**
Chise and I will bring Philomela back alive.
**[21:07] Isaac**
All right?
**[21:08] Chise**
Yeah.
**[21:10] Isaac**
Lucy?
**[21:11] Lucy**
I have tons of questions
for her and this family.
**[21:15] Isaac**
Zoe?
**[21:16] Zoe**
I want Lu—*everyone* to come home safe.
**[21:21] Zoe**
So I'm helping.
**[21:23] Isaac**
What about you, Mr. Ainsworth?
**[21:25] Elias**
Supervising to make sure my apprentice
doesn't get in over her head.
**[21:28] Isaac**
Mr. Zaccheroni? Actually, never mind.
**[21:30] Zaccheroni**
Hey!
**[21:32] Isaac**
I think all our interests line up.
**[21:35] Isaac**
So first, Philomela...
**[21:41] Isaac**
A werewolf?!
**[21:43] Lucy**
It's her!
**[21:44] Zoe**
Guys, I'll see you up ahead!
**[21:47] Isaac**
Zoe? Why...
**[21:50] Zoe**
This job is for me.
**[21:54] Zoe**
Go without me!
**[21:58] Isaac**
He's right that it's the
best way to buy time...
**[22:02] Chise**
But...
**[22:11] Zoe**
Man...
**[22:13] Zoe**
I was hoping I could use this
when Lucy was in a bind, but...
**[22:18] Zoe**
Things don't ever work out
the way you want, huh?

**[00:08] Zoe**
This is exhausting.
**[00:11] Zoe**
I never knew using the eye was so tiring.
**[00:16] Zoe**
I've always gotten laughed at because
I couldn't use the eye very well.
**[00:22] Zoe**
But this time, it'll be a lot
worse than getting laughed at.
**[02:07] Zoe**
It's no use...
**[02:08] Zoe**
She's closing in.
**[02:13] Zoe**
What the?
**[02:14] Zoe**
There's something chaotic happening.
**[02:16] Zoe**
It's creepy...
**[02:18] Zoe**
I don't think... we need that.
**[02:21] Zoe**
Ow!
**[02:30] Zoe**
Gotcha.
**[02:33] Zoe**
Something so unnecessary ought to be turned
to stone and broken into pieces.
**[03:17] Werewolf (female)**
My pack...
**[03:19] Werewolf (female)**
My husband...
**[03:21] Werewolf (female)**
My children...
**[03:28] Zoe**
What was I...
**[03:33] Werewolf (female)**
My child...
**[03:35] Zoe**
I'm not your child.
**[03:39] Werewolf (female)**
Then... my god?
**[03:41] Zoe**
Huh?
**[03:42] Werewolf (female)**
You've undone the vile curse
that was cast upon me.
**[03:48] Werewolf (female)**
And so I now remember everything.
**[03:53] Werewolf (female)**
I'll be leaving.
**[03:56] Werewolf (female)**
Thank you, my god.
**[04:11] Alcyone**
I need her to rest.
**[04:16] Alcyone**
Lady Philomela!
**[04:18] Alcyone**
Her body's begun disintegrating.
**[04:26] Alcyone**
I will return what I've been entrusted with.
**[04:35] (Flashback) Philomela**
Detaching the soul from the body?
**[04:38] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Yes. I suspect that by severing your soul
from your body and storing it elsewhere,
**[04:45] (Flashback) Alcyone**
you will be able to go
unnoticed by that mage.
**[04:50] (Flashback) Philomela**
I see.
**[05:12] Alcyone**
Even with her soul, her body
continues to collapse.
**[05:18] Alcyone**
Why...
**[05:21] Alcyone**
I was born only for this child.
**[05:26] Alcyone**
So, why do I...
**[05:30] Alcyone**
The same scent as mine.
**[05:41] Chise**
This is Philomela's scent.
**[05:42] Chise**
I'm certain of it.
**[05:45] Lucy**
There's no one here.
**[05:47] Lucy**
You'd think there'd always be someone
around in a mansion this big.
**[05:51] Chise**
Yeah...
**[05:53] Elias**
She may have drawn most of
the humans into the fray.
**[06:00] Elias**
She's the master of the turmoil of war.
**[06:04] Chise**
Who is she?
**[06:05] Elias**
She's what's become of an ancient god.
**[06:09] Chise**
A god...
**[06:10] Lucy**
Hey, what are you two talking about—
**[06:17] Chise**
Alcyone-san.
**[06:20] Lucy**
Where is she?
**[06:21] Alcyone**
Are you looking for Lady Philomela?
**[06:24] Lucy**
Why else would we be here?
**[06:27] Alcyone**
You don't seek the whereabouts
of the magic book?
**[06:30] Isaac**
That isn't a priority.
**[06:32] Isaac**
We're here because we don't
want Philomela to die.
**[06:37] Alcyone**
Come to the office on the second floor.
**[06:39] Alcyone**
But only the children.
**[06:42] Alcyone**
I ask that *you* remain here.
**[06:45] Elias**
Why just me?
**[06:46] Alcyone**
You aren't thinking of her, are you?
**[06:55] Elias**
Chise, I'll see you ahead.
**[06:59] Elias**
I'll catch up to you soon enough.
**[07:09] Chise**
That's the room!
**[07:14] All**
Philomela!
**[07:20] Chise**
The protective amulet's really working.
**[07:23] Philomela**
More...
**[07:25] Chise**
Philomela!
**[07:29] Isaac**
Chise!
**[07:36] Isaac**
Don't touch my face!
**[07:39] Chise**
Thanks, Isaac.
**[07:41] Chise**
Lucy...
**[07:43] Chise**
Lucy?
**[07:45] Lucy**
What is this?
**[07:48] Chise**
Lucy!
**[07:57] Lucy**
Explain!
**[08:00] Philomela**
I'm...
**[08:02] Philomela**
I'm sorry.
**[08:04] Philomela**
I'm sorry.
**[08:06] Lucy**
I don't want apologies!
**[08:08] Lucy**
I'm telling you to *explain* it!
**[08:11] Lucy**
You took everything from me,
**[08:14] Lucy**
and yet you act like you're
some oblivious victim.
**[08:17] Lucy**
You don't get to be so scared!
**[08:24] Philomela**
But...
**[08:25] Philomela**
But that was all I was ever allowed to do!
**[08:30] Philomela**
Nothing I did was ever enough!
**[08:33] Philomela**
Everything I did was worthless!
**[08:35] Philomela**
A failure!
**[08:37] Philomela**
I'd get scolded and hit and locked up...
**[08:44] Philomela**
I was worried she would mess with my head.
**[08:48] Philomela**
I was scared.
**[08:49] Philomela**
I was so scared.
**[08:51] Philomela**
All I could do was apologize.
**[08:54] Philomela**
But if that's not enough anymore,
**[08:59] Philomela**
what am I supposed to do?!
**[09:04] Philomela**
Please... tell me...
**[09:08] Philomela**
If you really think I'm
that guilty, then tell me!
**[09:14] Isaac**
Chise!
**[09:19] Chise**
Okay.
**[09:32] Philomela**
Magic power...
**[09:33] Philomela**
Overflowing...
**[09:35] Philomela**
Why?
**[09:37] Philomela**
Why?
**[09:53] Elias**
Chise.
**[09:57] Philomela**
What is this place?
**[10:06] Chise**
Are you all right?
**[10:08] Chise**
Looks like you've been broken into bits.
**[10:11] Chise**
Let's pick up your pieces as
we look for the other two.
**[10:15] Philomela**
Who are you?
**[10:17] Chise**
I'm Chise.
**[10:19] Chise**
You're Philomela.
**[10:28] Chise**
Found a piece.
**[10:30] Chise**
Let's keep going.
**[10:34] Philomela**
Are we at school?
**[10:50] Chise**
Hey, what's that?
**[10:58] Philomela**
Rian and I used to play with this a lot.
**[11:03] Philomela**
Rian and I are relatives.
**[11:05] Philomela**
We used to play together sometimes.
**[11:07] Philomela**
He's never been good at this kind of thing.
**[11:11] Chise**
I can see that.
**[11:14] Philomela**
I was better at it.
**[11:17] Philomela**
But Grandmother never praised me for it.
**[11:31] Chise**
What about this place?
**[11:38] Philomela**
Whenever I disobeyed,
I'd get locked in here forever.
**[11:43] Philomela**
I think this was when I couldn't memorize
the book I was supposed to in time.
**[11:52] Chise**
Yeah?
**[11:54] Chise**
It's dark and cold and barren here.
**[11:58] Chise**
What a terrible place.
**[12:01] Philomela**
Oh, but after this,
she'd just leave me here.
**[12:06] Philomela**
She wouldn't say anything horrible to me.
**[12:08] Philomela**
So...
**[12:10] Chise**
But you were scared anyway, weren't you?
**[12:15] Philomela**
Yeah.
**[12:16] Philomela**
I was.
**[12:23] Chise**
How about this one?
**[12:28] (Flashback) Student A**
She's so creepy.
**[12:31] (Flashback) Student A**
And gloomy.
**[12:32] (Flashback) Student B**
Hatori went and talked to
someone from Class B.
**[12:35] (Flashback) Student A**
What? No way.
**[12:37] (Flashback) Student C**
Horrible.
**[12:38] (Flashback) Student C**
I bet she's cursed.
**[12:45] Chise**
Wrong one.
**[12:46] Chise**
That was a piece of me.
**[12:48] Chise**
I guess we got a bit mixed up.
**[12:51] Philomela**
Mixed up?
**[12:54] Chise**
I end up inside people's dreams
and memories and stuff.
**[12:58] Chise**
This happens all the time.
**[13:02] Philomela**
Really?
**[13:12] Chise**
It's a photo.
**[13:18] Philomela**
I don't know my father's
nor my mother's faces.
**[13:24] Philomela**
Grandmother won't show me their photos.
**[13:27] Philomela**
I don't even know if she has any.
**[13:30] Chise**
Yeah?
**[13:33] Chise**
I've never seen my dad's or
my mom's photos, either.
**[13:38] Chise**
Mom died.
**[13:49] Chise**
Let's go.
**[13:54] Servant A**
* The mistress is always in*
* a bad mood, thanks to her.*
**[13:59] Servant B**
*She's such a bother.*
**[14:01] Servant B**
*I wish she'd just disappear.*
**[14:05] Guard**
*Ms. Lizbeth is waiting in her office.*
**[14:08] Joshua**
* She obviously doesn't think*
* of her as her grandchild.*
**[14:12] Relative A**
*She's as cowardly as ever.*
**[14:13] Relative B**
*Just who does she take after, anyway?*
**[14:17] Relative B**
* I can't believe Lizbeth*
* hasn't abandoned her yet.*
**[14:20] Lizbeth**
*How could you screw up something so simple?*
**[14:31] Chise**
We got all the pieces that you lost.
**[14:35] Philomela**
Yeah.
**[14:40] Philomela**
Was there a lot that was scary for you, too?
**[14:43] Chise**
Yeah, there was.
**[14:46] Chise**
Scary and lonely.
**[14:48] Chise**
You just want it to fly away.
**[14:55] Philomela**
Why did you pick up my pieces?
**[14:59] Philomela**
I haven't done anything for you.
**[15:02] Philomela**
In fact, I tried to kill you.
**[15:07] Chise**
I've been picked up by a lot of people, too.
**[15:13] Chise**
Piece by piece.
**[15:17] Chise**
But the truth is, you have
the same eyes that I used to.
**[15:24] Chise**
So I think I'm wanting to help
my past self by helping you.
**[15:29] Chise**
Sorry I can't tell you I wanted
to help you specifically.
**[15:36] Philomela**
Even if you told me it was for
my sake, I wouldn't believe you.
**[15:42] Philomela**
If I'd heard that, I'd want
to go somewhere far away.
**[15:50] Chise**
You can.
**[15:52] Philomela**
I can't.
**[15:53] Philomela**
I'm not allowed to.
**[15:57] Chise**
Do you want to go?
**[15:59] Chise**
Or do you want to stay?
**[16:01] Philomela**
I don't know.
**[16:03] Chise**
I'll help you until you do.
**[16:05] Chise**
So let's keep picking up pieces.
***SIGN*** Art Room
**[16:13] Chise**
Someone's there.
**[16:16] Isaac**
I can't take it anymore.
**[16:18] Isaac**
Everyone keeps comparing me
to my sister and Rian.
**[16:21] Isaac**
No one expects anything of me.
**[16:26] Isaac**
Why was I born to this family?
**[16:38] Philomela**
Isaac.
**[16:40] Isaac**
Philomela.
**[16:43] Chise**
Remember us now?
**[16:45] Isaac**
Y-Yeah.
**[16:47] Isaac**
That was embarrassing.
**[16:49] Chise**
Was it?
**[16:50] Isaac**
I mean, guys shouldn't cry, right?
**[16:53] Philomela**
I... I don't know.
**[16:56] Chise**
I'd never thought about that.
***SIGN*** Library
**[17:00] Chise**
Now we're just looking for Lucy.
**[17:02] Isaac**
Why the library?
***SIGN*** Library
**[17:04] Chise**
Lucy's studious.
**[17:11] Isaac**
Here, Philomela.
**[17:13] Isaac**
I think this is yours.
**[17:16] Chise**
Well, let's go.
**[17:20] Isaac**
Cobwebs everywhere.
**[17:22] Philomela**
Can we still go in?
**[17:24] Chise**
I don't know.
**[17:28] Chise**
Ow!
**[17:30] Chise**
Huh?
**[17:31] Chise**
Lucy?
**[17:32] Chise**
Were you looking for us?
**[17:35] Lucy**
Obviously!
**[17:37] Lucy**
Why should I just sit in
here and keep crying?
**[17:42] Isaac**
You were crying?
**[17:43] Chise**
You were crying.
**[17:44] Lucy**
Shut up!
**[17:46] Lucy**
So much that I can't forget
even though I want to.
**[17:49] Lucy**
Making yourself sad about
the past is just miserable.
**[17:53] Lucy**
So I wanna get mad!
**[17:55] Lucy**
I want something to change.
**[17:58] Lucy**
That way...
**[18:03] Lucy**
I won't have to stand still.
**[18:09] Lucy**
I saw you get angry earlier, too.
**[18:12] Lucy**
So why don't you stop whining,
**[18:15] Lucy**
and run away, or do something,
or say whatever you want?!
**[18:19] Lucy**
Idiot!
**[18:22] Lucy**
Here.
**[18:26] Lizbeth**
*It's time that you get used to it, too.*
**[18:31] Lizbeth**
*Follow these people and observe carefully.*
**[18:37] Philomela**
No.
**[18:39] Philomela**
*May the night forever protect you.*
**[18:45] Philomela**
No!
**[18:46] Philomela**
Stop!
**[18:47] Philomela**
Make it stop!
**[18:49] Lizbeth**
*They didn't kill the youngest daughter?*
**[18:52] Lizbeth**
* Perhaps they were thinking*
* of their own children.*
**[18:56] Lizbeth**
*Well, all right.*
**[18:58] Lizbeth**
*We got the spiders.*
**[19:00] Lucy**
Spiders...?
**[19:02] Lizbeth**
* Philomela, assassination is*
* one of this family's duties.*
**[19:06] Philomela**
Don't watch!
**[19:08] Lizbeth**
*I have a gift for you.*
**[19:11] Lizbeth**
*Should you succeed in using this book*
**[19:14] Lizbeth**
* to gather magic power*
* from plenty of sorcerers,*
**[19:17] Lizbeth**
* I will be able to bring Adam—your father—*
* and your mother back from the dead.*
**[19:24] Lizbeth**
*Now, it's been a long time coming.*
**[19:28] Lizbeth**
*Find sacrifices from within the College.*
**[19:33] Lizbeth**
*You can do it.*
**[19:36] Lizbeth**
*I know I've been strict with you,*
**[19:39] Lizbeth**
* but that was always with your*
* best interests in mind.*
**[19:43] Lizbeth**
*You're a good, capable girl, Philomela.*
**[19:48] Lizbeth**
*I can trust you to do it, can't I?*
**[19:51] Philomela**
Stop it!
**[19:56] Lucy**
It was you.
**[19:58] Lucy**
You're the one who was there that day.
**[20:02] Lucy**
Why did you kill my family?!
**[20:06] Philomela**
I don't know!
**[20:07] Lucy**
You obviously do!
**[20:07] Philomela**
I was never given the *right* to know!
**[20:11] Philomela**
Or, what? Should I have told you
that I was there back then?!
**[20:16] Philomela**
Should I have said sorry
I couldn't stop them?!
**[20:20] Philomela**
I never...
**[20:22] Philomela**
I *never* could have done
anything like that!
**[20:26] Philomela**
Tell me what I could have done.
**[20:30] Philomela**
What could I have done at the time?
**[20:37] Isaac**
No one can give you an answer.
**[20:41] Isaac**
You could just make up anything.
**[20:45] Isaac**
No one can help anyone's past.
**[20:49] Isaac**
But you're allowed to speak up now.
**[20:53] Isaac**
Say what you want.
**[20:55] Isaac**
What you don't want done to you.
**[20:57] Isaac**
What you want others to do for you.
**[21:00] Isaac**
That way...
**[21:03] Isaac**
Someone who wants to help
you can give you a hand.
**[21:10] Philomela**
I have no one!
**[21:12] Philomela**
I have no one like that!
**[21:13] Chise**
Even if you don't, I want you to shout
**[21:18] Chise**
if you want something to change.
**[21:20] Chise**
I wish help would come even
without you having to shout or cry.
**[21:29] Chise**
But that's not the way the world works.
**[21:34] Chise**
Friends and enemies walk amongst each other,
**[21:37] Chise**
and all you can do is to
shout for what you want.
**[21:42] Lucy**
What exactly do you want?
**[21:45] Lucy**
What's your wish?
**[21:49] Philomela**
I...
**[22:01] Philomela**
H...
**[22:03] Philomela**
Help me.
***SIGN*** Is that really what you want?
**[22:15] Chise**
Philomela!

**[00:02] Philomela**
I...
**[00:09] Philomela**
H... Help...
**[00:14] Chise**
Philomela!
**[00:34] Philomela**
Don't you want to meet
your mother and father?
**[01:10] Philomela**
What...
**[01:15] Philomela**
It's grown back.
**[01:18] Philomela**
Everything but my fingers.
**[01:39] Ruth**
You're leaving, huh?
**[01:42] Ruth**
Not that I care what happens to you.
**[01:46] Ruth**
But I think you're gonna have a rough time.
**[02:11] Lizbeth**
You'll be home again soon...
**[02:14] Lizbeth**
Adam.
**[03:51] Elias**
Here I go.
**[03:59] Alcyone**
I've never known...
**[04:02] Alcyone**
why I'm so powerless.
**[04:08] Alcyone**
Why I'm unable to hold Lady Philomela's
shoulders when she's suffering so.
**[04:30] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
So you're the artificial fairy Adam made.
**[04:35] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Please return me to Lady Philomela.
**[04:39] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Is that your duty?
**[04:42] (Flashback) Alcyone**
That's what I was created for.
**[04:44] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Then I'll give you a different duty.
**[04:48] (Flashback) Alcyone**
No!
**[04:49] (Flashback) Alcyone**
Even if I'm programmed with a
different duty, I belong to her.
**[04:54] (Flashback) Alcyone**
I exist for her.
**[04:55] (Flashback) Alcyone**
And I will destroy for her.
**[04:58] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Oh?
**[05:08] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
He must have had neither adequate
materials nor equipment.
**[05:12] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
That boy sure is skilled.
**[05:14] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
But you're still just
a cobbled-together artificial fairy.
**[05:21] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
A little tinkering ought to fix you up.
**[05:35] Alcyone**
My consciousness is fading.
**[05:39] Alcyone**
Because of that spell,
**[05:44] Alcyone**
I failed to protect her.
**[05:49] Elias**
There's another one inside.
**[05:52] Elias**
What's this?
**[05:54] Alcyone**
We mustn't go there yet.
**[06:02] Elias**
You...
**[06:04] Alcyone**
What I knew to be true has finally returned.
**[06:09] Alcyone**
My truth...
**[06:12] Alcyone**
The reason for my existence.
**[06:14] Alcyone**
Please, sir mage.
**[06:18] Alcyone**
Take me to her.
**[06:32] Lizbeth**
I'd finally had a child.
**[06:35] Lizbeth**
I was more qualified than
anyone in the household.
**[06:41] Lizbeth**
My father chose me to be his heir.
**[06:44] Lizbeth**
I was honored to serve as a Rickenbacker
the way my ancestors did.
**[06:51] (Flashback) Master**
It's about time you adopt.
**[06:56] (Flashback) Master**
You're accomplished.
**[06:58] (Flashback) Master**
You're going to need someone
to take your place.
**[07:01] (Flashback) Master**
It's fine.
**[07:02] (Flashback) Master**
No one in this day and age will require
the child to be yours by birth.
**[07:07] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Yes, sir.
**[07:09] Lizbeth**
For the first time in my life,
I hesitated in my response to my master.
**[07:15] (Flashback) Relatives**
To think she can't bear an heir...
**[07:17] (Flashback) Relatives**
The ancestors would be disappointed.
**[07:19] (Flashback) Relatives**
She has the talent and the
competence to be the master,
**[07:22] (Flashback) Relatives**
and yet she's a failure.
**[07:27] Lizbeth**
It wasn't that I wanted a child of my own.
**[07:30] Lizbeth**
But if I couldn't have one,
my peers wouldn't approve of me.
**[07:35] Lizbeth**
They'd say I was inferior.
**[07:37] Lizbeth**
That I was flawed for
having a broken womb.
**[07:41] Lizbeth**
I am not inferior.
**[07:44] Lizbeth**
I'm not a failure.
**[07:59] Lizbeth**
I named my son Adam.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Relatives**
Did you hear?
**[08:03] (Flashback) Relatives**
The son-in-law suddenly died, apparently.
**[08:06] (Flashback) Relatives**
Was he sick?
**[08:08] (Flashback) Relatives**
I heard he suffered quite severely.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Relatives**
Well, they have a child now.
**[08:12] (Flashback) Relatives**
No reason to fret.
**[08:17] Lizbeth**
The wet nurse raised my son.
**[08:20] Lizbeth**
But he soon began to follow me around.
**[08:53] (Flashback) Adam**
Mother, um, where are you headed to?
**[08:58] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Would you like to join me?
**[09:01] (Flashback) Adam**
Yes.
**[09:05] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
What do you want?
**[09:06] (Flashback) Adam**
Oh... nothing.
**[09:11] Lizbeth**
Seeing how small and hopeless
he was, I couldn't help but find him
**[09:15] Lizbeth**
irresistibly adorable and
intensely repulsive.
**[09:30] Lizbeth**
This hopeless creature grew
up the way I'd wished.
**[09:54] (Flashback) Adam**
I'm thinking of using that test
subject for a long-term experiment.
**[09:59] (Flashback) Adam**
You can trust me to dispose
of it when I'm done,
**[10:02] (Flashback) Adam**
Mother.
**[10:05] Lizbeth**
So I didn't think much of it.
**[10:09] Adam**
*Mother.*
**[10:12] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Adam!
**[10:17] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
What nonsense is this?
**[10:19] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Who talked you into this?!
**[10:21] Adam**
*Beats me.*
**[10:23] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
It's that girl!
**[10:29] Adam**
I searched for him.
**[10:31] Adam**
He belongs to me.
**[10:37] Adam**
I was told there wasn't so much
left of him as a speck of dust.
**[10:41] Adam**
That after he'd shot himself,
he collapsed like a pillar of salt.
**[10:45] (Flashback) Leánnan sÃdhe**
Miss Lizbeth.
**[10:51] Lizbeth**
Her face was a lot like that creature.
**[10:53] Lizbeth**
But she took on an unfamiliar color.
**[10:57] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Are you scared?
**[10:59] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Then...
**[11:02] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Forget about any memories
that make you miss them!
**[11:09] Lizbeth**
I despised her.
**[11:11] (Flashback) Philomela**
U-Um...
**[11:14] (Flashback) Philomela**
Grandmother.
**[11:16] (Flashback) Philomela**
I completed the puzzle.
**[11:18] (Flashback) Philomela**
On my own.
**[11:21] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
There's nothing impressive about that.
**[11:24] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Don't waste my time with such trite news.
**[11:27] (Flashback) Philomela**
I'm sorry.
**[11:32] Lizbeth**
Everything about her
seemed inferior to Adam.
**[11:43] Lizbeth**
The same hair.
**[11:44] Lizbeth**
Flimsy arms and legs.
**[11:47] Lizbeth**
A hesitant voice.
**[11:50] Lizbeth**
She's so much like him.
**[11:58] Lizbeth**
And yet, this isn't it.
**[11:59] Lizbeth**
This isn't it...
**[12:01] Lizbeth**
This isn't what I want!
**[12:18] Chise**
Philomela...
**[12:34] (Flashback) Chise**
It's not an order.
**[12:36] (Flashback) Chise**
It's a request, I guess.
**[12:37] (Flashback) Chise**
Want to make some together sometime?
**[12:39] (Flashback) Rian**
I'm asking about what *you* want!
**[12:42] Philomela**
Stop it!
**[12:43] (Flashback) Isaac**
You're amazing, Philomela.
**[12:44] (Flashback) Chise**
But even if you make a mistake or
you fail, you can always try again.
**[12:48] (Flashback) Lucy**
Do something and say whatever you want!
**[12:52] Philomela**
Stop!
**[12:54] Philomela**
Please!
**[12:58] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
Greedy child.
**[13:10] Lizbeth**
I must sacrifice the magic power that's been
gathered to summon the depicted divinity.
**[13:17] Lizbeth**
And to that end...
**[13:22] Lizbeth**
I need you, Philomela.
**[13:34] Lucy**
I feel gross.
**[13:37] Isaac**
Something's slimy.
**[13:40] Chise**
Are you all right?
**[13:42] Lucy**
Chise.
**[13:43] Lucy**
Are *you* all right?
**[13:45] Chise**
Yeah.
**[13:47] Lucy**
What is this?
**[13:49] Lucy**
What happened here?
**[13:50] Chise**
She's been absorbing magic power, I think.
**[13:54] Chise**
Philomela lost control and
consumed our entire bodies.
**[13:58] Chise**
We were disassembled for a moment.
**[14:00] Isaac & Lucy**
Disassembled...
**[14:02] Chise**
W-Well, we were able to find all
of our own pieces by ourselves.
**[14:08] Chise**
That's how we got back.
**[14:09] Isaac**
We were re-materialized?
**[14:12] Chise**
I think so.
**[14:13] Lucy**
I'm dry now, but it's still all over me.
**[14:16] Chise**
I'm going to go look for Philomela.
**[14:18] Chise**
The two of you...
**[14:19] Lucy**
"Stay put because it's dangerous?"
**[14:22] Lucy**
I still haven't gotten an answer out of her.
**[14:26] Isaac**
You're right.
**[14:28] Isaac**
We were interrupted last time.
**[14:32] Chise**
All right.
**[14:33] Chise**
Let's go ask her properly this time, then.
**[14:37] Lizbeth**
Today, my son, your father, comes home.
**[14:43] Lizbeth**
With the magic power you've gathered.
**[14:46] Lizbeth**
With the blood running through your veins.
**[14:49] Lizbeth**
He's coming home.
**[14:51] Lizbeth**
I could bring your mother
back too, you know.
**[14:57] Lizbeth**
Now, I've prepared everything.
**[15:00] Lizbeth**
Come.
**[15:01] Lizbeth**
Come, Philomela.
**[15:09] Philomela**
I have no freedom.
**[15:13] Philomela**
I don't need a will of my own.
**[15:16] Philomela**
Nothing I do matters.
**[15:20] Philomela**
I'm not allowed anything.
**[15:28] Philomela**
But...
**[15:32] Philomela**
But... But...
**[15:35] (Flashback) Chise**
What did you want to do, Philomela?
**[15:40] Philomela**
Is all of that really true?
**[15:51] Philomela**
Are you really going to grant my wish
and bring back my mother and father?
**[16:03] Lucy**
Hey, do you know where she is?
**[16:06] Chise**
Yeah.
**[16:07] Chise**
I can follow it now.
**[16:09] Chise**
I can follow the scent of her soul.
**[16:18] Lizbeth**
Guards.
**[16:23] Lizbeth**
Your wishes don't matter to me.
**[16:27] Lizbeth**
I need proof that he existed.
**[16:31] Lizbeth**
I'm not adequate on my own.
**[16:33] Lizbeth**
I need an iron clamp to hold him here.
**[16:38] Lizbeth**
I have you, his daughter, to be a sacrifice.
**[16:44] Philomela**
A sacrifice...
**[16:46] Lizbeth**
You were a good girl.
**[16:49] Lizbeth**
You did as you were told.
**[16:52] Lizbeth**
You focused on gathering magic
power from many people.
**[16:56] Lizbeth**
You didn't even try to find out how
I was going to use that power.
**[17:04] Lizbeth**
You faithfully, almost foolishly,
carried out your task.
**[17:10] Lizbeth**
You truly are *such* a good girl.
**[17:21] Philomela**
I didn't even want to think...
**[17:25] Philomela**
about why I couldn't remember
Mother and Father.
**[17:32] Philomela**
She must have deemed it unnecessary for me.
**[17:39] Philomela**
That's the kind of person she is.
**[17:52] Lizbeth**
Here, now, is what is needed
to summon the master.
**[18:00] Philomela**
It was all pointless.
**[18:01] Philomela**
All of it.
**[18:14] Philomela**
Everything I've done until now
was so that I would die.
**[18:21] Philomela**
Even though I'm the only
one who carries her blood.
**[18:28] Philomela**
I wanted to be loved.
**[18:30] Philomela**
I wanted approval.
**[18:34] Philomela**
That's all I wanted.
**[18:39] Philomela**
I held hope, I was disappointed,
I gave up, and I submitted.
**[18:46] Philomela**
And then part of me held hope again.
**[18:49] Philomela**
But it was for nothing.
**[18:51] Philomela**
I have no one.
**[18:57] Chise**
Do you want to go on?
**[18:58] Chise**
Or do you not?
**[19:00] Chise**
I'll help until you decide.
**[19:06] Chise**
Philomela!
**[19:12] Lizbeth**
Guards.
**[19:14] Chise**
Elias! Ruth!
**[19:19] Lizbeth**
You can't stop me.
**[19:21] Lizbeth**
The price has already been paid.
**[19:23] Chise**
Philomela!
**[19:25] Chise**
If it's your wish, we can't stop it.
**[19:29] Chise**
What do you want to happen to you?
**[19:32] Lucy**
Whatever!
**[19:33] Lucy**
Just finish what you were about to say!
**[19:37] Isaac**
That's why we're here, Philomela.
**[19:44] (Flashback) Joshua**
Who's she again?
**[19:45] (Flashback) Veronica**
You're good at this kind of thing.
**[19:46] (Flashback) Lizbeth**
She has no desires.
**[19:52] Philomela**
I have no one.
**[19:56] (Flashback) Rian**
You're such a good teacher.
**[19:59] (Flashback) Lucy**
You don't look fine at all.
**[20:00] (Flashback) Isaac**
But you're allowed to speak up now.
**[20:02] (Flashback) Isaac**
Say what you want.
**[20:03] Chise**
*Friends and enemies walk
amongst each other.*
**[20:03] Isaac**
*What you want others to do for you.*
**[20:05] Chise**
*and all you can do is to
shout for what you want.*
**[20:07] (Flashback) Lucy**
What exactly do you want?
**[20:08] (Flashback) Lucy**
What's your wish?
**[20:12] Philomela**
If I may wish...
**[20:23] Philomela**
Help me!
**[20:31] Elias**
You ought not be so quick
to touch that thing.
**[20:34] Elias**
It absorbs everything.
**[20:36] Chise**
What do we do, then?!
**[20:38] Lucy**
Chise, you used your magic
to solve that puzzle.
**[20:41] Lucy**
That puzzle had all kinds
of sorcery cast on it.
**[20:44] Lucy**
With just one magic!
**[20:46] Chise**
Isaac, can I use that tool from earlier?
**[20:50] Isaac**
Uh, yeah!
**[20:52] Isaac**
Hold the image of what
you want in your mind!
**[20:56] Chise**
A staff won't do.
**[20:58] Chise**
I need something stronger, sharper...
**[21:04] Elias**
Go, get it done.
**[21:07] Chise**
Coffin lock, I am your iron stake.
**[21:12] Chise**
By the howls of the beasts of the underworld,
**[21:14] Chise**
you burn away into the fields, and
I place my hand on the coffin!
**[21:40] Lizbeth**
That circle was meant to summon a deity...
**[21:43] Lizbeth**
How could it have been
stopped by mere magic?
**[21:56] Chise**
Sorry to keep you waiting, Philomela.
**[22:01] Philomela**
You're the ones who
helped me gather myself.
**[22:10] Philomela**
Chise...
**[22:13] Philomela**
I never realized I've always
wanted someone to help me.

**[00:03] Zaccheroni**
This kid won't be getting up for a while.
**[00:06] Zaccheroni**
Well, then...
**[00:07] Zaccheroni**
I guess I should get to work.
**[00:15] Zaccheroni**
What, are you here for me?
**[00:18] Zaccheroni**
Or...
**[01:57] Philomela**
Are you really going to help me?
**[02:00] Chise**
Yeah.
**[02:01] Philomela**
Really?
**[02:03] Chise**
Yeah.
**[02:10] Alcyone**
She's all right.
**[02:16] Philomela**
Alcyone...
**[02:18] Alcyone**
Lady Philomela...
**[02:23] Alcyone**
Lady Philomela.
**[02:28] Lizbeth**
Why...
**[02:33] Lizbeth**
Why do you interfere when you know nothing?!
**[02:38] Chise**
She's the same as Philomela.
**[02:39] Elias**
Must be the magic book's influence.
**[02:43] Elias**
She's being dragged in by the thing
inside that's trying to get out.
**[02:49] Chise**
How? We broke the circle.
**[02:52] Elias**
The circle's just an opportunity.
**[02:54] Elias**
It's merely an aid. It's not that important.
**[02:56] Elias**
Magic and sorcery is all up to
the will of the living in the end.
**[03:01] Lizbeth**
You have no business here!
**[03:04] Lizbeth**
Why do you involve yourself?
**[03:06] Lizbeth**
What does it matter to you what happens
to her, or to me, or to this house?!
**[03:15] Chise**
Philomela is a good person.
**[03:18] Chise**
She thanked me when I was being nosy.
**[03:23] Chise**
She even gave me advice.
**[03:25] Chise**
There are plenty of people like that.
**[03:28] Chise**
Hiding, suffering, dying...
**[03:32] Chise**
But I don't want to pretend I don't see when
she's right there where I can reach her.
**[03:38] Chise**
What you're trying to do makes sense to you.
**[03:44] Chise**
But not to me.
**[03:47] Chise**
And if Philomela's going to
be consumed for your sake...
**[03:51] Chise**
I'll stop you!
**[03:53] Lizbeth**
You don't even have something
you'd be willing to pay any price for!
**[03:58] Elias**
Get back!
**[04:04] Lizbeth**
He was my only one...
**[04:06] Lizbeth**
He was my lovely, disgusting, only one...
**[04:12] Lizbeth**
And he was taken from me!
**[04:15] Lizbeth**
Taken!
**[04:20] Lizbeth**
What's taken from me must be taken back!
**[04:35] Chise**
The werewolf!
**[04:36] Lizbeth**
You've returned to your senses?!
**[04:39] Werewolf**
Wretched witch!
**[04:40] Werewolf**
My god has freed me from your shackles!
**[04:44] Werewolf**
*You're* the one that will face
a trial of lightning and ice!
**[04:49] Lizbeth**
Your children aren't here.
**[04:51] Lizbeth**
The only child to be here is mine.
**[04:55] Lizbeth**
Your children are nowhere in this world.
**[04:59] Werewolf**
You lie!
**[05:01] Werewolf**
Who would believe what a witch has to say?!
**[05:04] Werewolf**
You're hiding...
**[05:07] Werewolf**
You're hiding my children!
**[05:16] Alcyone**
Pitiful woman...
**[05:18] Alcyone**
Forgive me.
**[05:20] Alcyone**
I cannot allow you to break *it*, either.
**[05:47] (Flashback) Adam**
Alcyone, I'm going to have
you be Philomela's shield.
**[05:53] (Flashback) Adam**
When you're destroyed out of malice,
that will become the trigger.
**[05:59] (Flashback) Adam**
So please, do all you can to protect her.
**[06:06] Elias**
So that's the other thing that
was attached to the core.
**[06:11] Lizbeth**
You!
**[06:12] Adam**
"Let's make sure I never see you again."
**[06:16] Adam**
Or at least, that was his
wish, but here we are.
**[06:22] Adam**
You've done your duty, Alcyone.
**[06:26] Adam**
It must have been difficult.
**[06:29] Alcyone**
No...
**[06:31] Alcyone**
No, Master.
**[06:33] Alcyone**
This was my duty.
**[06:37] Adam**
Then it's time I carry out my duty, too.
**[06:47] Philomela**
Alcyone...
**[06:49] Alcyone**
Lady Philomela...
**[06:52] Alcyone**
I must be leaving now.
**[06:56] Philomela**
Why did you...
**[06:59] Philomela**
You weren't like this before.
**[07:02] Philomela**
But now, you...
**[07:06] Alcyone**
I remembered that I was created for you.
**[07:14] Alcyone**
You were supposed to be my purpose.
**[07:18] Alcyone**
And yet, I could not protect you.
**[07:25] Alcyone**
I apologize for my failure.
**[07:31] Philomela**
No!
**[07:32] Philomela**
No—
**[07:33] Alcyone**
Please have my memories as reparation.
**[07:39] Alcyone**
Lady Iris had instructed me to keep records.
**[07:45] Alcyone**
Although I don't know the difference
between a record and a memory,
**[07:49] Alcyone**
I hope it is of use to you.
**[07:54] Philomela**
Alcyone—
**[08:18] Alcyone**
Now, even without me here,
you'll be all right.
**[08:39] Philomela**
But since they're your records...
**[08:41] Philomela**
You're not in them...
**[08:58] Philomela**
Father?
**[09:00] Lizbeth**
Is it you, Adam?
**[09:03] Chise**
Philomela's father?
**[09:05] Chise**
I thought you were dead.
**[09:07] Adam**
I'm me, and not Adam.
**[09:11] Adam**
Adam was really hoping it wouldn't be you.
**[09:14] Adam**
That you wouldn't be the one to destroy
your granddaughter's guardian.
**[09:21] Adam**
But it all turned out as he'd predicted.
**[09:24] Lizbeth**
I have no need of you if you aren't him!
**[09:30] Adam**
I'm a curse. A facsimile of
Adam's memories and shape.
**[09:34] Adam**
The shadow of the deceased,
imbued with memories.
**[09:37] Adam**
You could say I'm a program.
**[09:39] Adam**
That won't reach me.
**[09:42] Adam**
But I can reach *you*.
**[09:46] Adam**
You, Lizbeth Sargant.
**[09:54] Lizbeth**
What is this?
**[09:56] Adam**
Adam's final act of spite.
**[09:59] Adam**
Adam snuck a curse within Alcyone
that would retaliate against
**[10:04] Adam**
whoever destroyed her
and threatened Philomela.
**[10:08] Adam**
In other words...
**[10:10] Adam**
My duty is to destroy you.
**[10:15] Lucy**
Hold it.
**[10:17] Isaac**
Lucy!
**[10:18] Lucy**
She still has a lot she needs to tell me.
**[10:21] Adam**
Would this not satisfy your
need for revenge as well?
**[10:25] Lucy**
If I wanted her dead,
I would kill her myself.
**[10:28] Lucy**
But I haven't even had a chance
to hear an explanation.
**[10:31] Lucy**
I won't stand for her dying just
so she can get off the hook.
**[10:37] Lucy**
She's mine. You can't have her.
**[10:41] Adam**
What an unusually
straightforward girl for your time.
**[10:44] Adam**
You've made good friends, Philomela.
**[10:47] Lucy**
F-Friends?!
**[10:49] Philomela**
Father...
**[10:51] Adam**
I won't hand her to you, though.
**[10:53] Adam**
Your hatred is irrelevant to Adam.
**[10:57] Adam**
I'm made of Adam's hatred.
**[10:59] Adam**
She's certainly not yours.
**[11:10] Chise**
The shouting...
**[11:16] Elias**
Don't touch that!
**[11:17] Elias**
It'll take more than just your magic power.
**[11:27] Adam**
Give—
**[11:28] Werewolf**
Give her back!
**[11:29] Werewolf**
That woman is my prey!
**[11:42] Morrigan**
If a parent's duty is to love and to hold
dear, so too is it to tease the child.
**[11:51] Morrigan**
Is it also, then, the child's
duty to drag down the parent?
**[11:59] Morrigan**
Bitch of the wastelands.
A heroic, vile mother.
**[12:04] Morrigan**
A splendid display of reckless valor.
**[12:07] Werewolf**
You have my gratitude,
god howling in the twilight.
**[12:13] Chise**
Goddess... Morrígan.
**[12:23] Chise**
Why are you here?
**[12:25] Morrigan**
The war hasn't ended yet, has it?
**[12:28] Morrigan**
Should there be a mother and son steeping
their souls in revenge of days long past,
**[12:34] Morrigan**
that land is mine to have and mine to rule.
**[12:42] Morrigan**
I see you've crawled out of your roost.
**[12:44] Morrigan**
Such arrogance.
**[12:46] Morrigan**
You, who defiles my grounds, foreign
god drifting between time and place...
**[12:53] Morrigan**
This here is my territory.
**[12:55] Morrigan**
My shores.
**[12:57] Morrigan**
I bring you a prophecy of doom.
**[13:01] Elias**
Well, it's decided to show up.
**[13:03] Chise**
Elias, what is that?
**[13:04] Elias**
What you would call a god, in a sense.
**[13:08] Isaac**
This?
**[13:09] Lucy**
A god?
**[13:11] Elias**
Not a complete one, though.
**[13:13] Elias**
It hasn't been given a name
the way Morrígan has.
**[13:17] Elias**
It must have come out from
having swallowed that woman.
**[13:21] Morrigan**
What a fool.
**[13:31] Morrigan**
You, hex who exists for just one man...
**[13:34] Morrigan**
Your duty has yet to be
fulfilled, you must be aware.
**[13:39] Adam**
Yes, that's right.
**[13:41] Adam**
You're correct.
**[13:42] Morrigan**
Then become my claw.
**[13:45] Morrigan**
Become the accursed spear
that slaughters that beast.
**[13:55] Philomela**
Fath—
**[13:58] Adam**
You shouldn't use such a word for me.
**[14:06] Morrigan**
To think I have two opportunities to
swing my spear in just one festival...
**[14:11] Morrigan**
'Tis a good day!
**[14:14] Morrigan**
My maiden...
**[14:17] Morrigan**
Though I was given a name,
I am now but a forgotten shadow.
**[14:23] Morrigan**
I cannot myself be their end.
**[14:38] Morrigan**
With so many branches, it wouldn't be
strategic to call upon my soldiers.
**[14:46] Morrigan**
Not as easy as that boy, is it?
**[14:53] Lucy**
Hey!
**[14:54] Ruth**
You guys need a hand, don't you?
**[14:57] Lucy**
Chise, why are you grinning?
**[15:02] Elias**
She must be under the
influence of the goddess.
**[15:05] Morrigan**
I was in need of a hunting
dog to chase down the game.
**[15:11] Morrigan**
Clever dog, jump and bark
to your heart's content.
**[15:15] Ruth**
That's it?
**[15:16] Ruth**
Distract it and earn some time.
**[15:40] Isaac**
Is she going to deal with it?
**[15:43] Chise**
I don't know.
**[15:44] Chise**
But...
**[15:45] Elias**
It doesn't look like she's trying to end it.
**[15:48] Lucy**
After all that bluster?
**[15:50] Philomela**
It's absorbing magic power.
**[15:53] Philomela**
It might be dangerous, even for a deity.
**[16:00] Isaac**
It noticed us!
**[16:03] Lucy**
Isaac!
**[16:05] Isaac**
Philomela!
**[16:14] Chise**
Philomela, are you all right?
**[16:18] Chise**
Lucy!
**[16:24] Elias**
Get inside me!
**[16:28] Lucy**
Let me go, damn it!
**[16:30] Werewolf**
No.
**[16:30] Werewolf**
Touch it, and this happens.
**[16:33] Werewolf**
Stay here.
**[16:35] Lucy**
Do you think you're making things right?
**[16:38] Werewolf**
You're a mere child.
**[16:41] Werewolf**
Children must live.
**[16:43] Lucy**
You seem lucid right now.
**[16:46] Werewolf**
Don't talk!
**[16:47] Werewolf**
You'll bite your tongue!
**[16:49] Lucy**
Why did you attack my home?
**[16:52] Werewolf**
I don't know.
**[16:53] Werewolf**
But it must have something
to do with that book.
**[16:57] Werewolf**
Before she was ordered to make the kill,
**[17:00] Werewolf**
that woman handed the book to
a man who reeked of spiders.
**[17:04] Lucy**
Do you mean she was our client?!
**[17:08] Isaac**
Not again!
**[17:10] Werewolf**
Hold on to me!
**[17:16] Elias**
There's no end in sight.
**[17:19] Elias**
What is the goddess doing, playing around?
**[17:22] (Flashback) Morrigan**
Though I was given a name,
I am now but a forgotten shadow.
**[17:27] (Flashback) Morrigan**
I cannot myself be their end.
**[17:31] Chise**
Maybe we have to be the ones to end it.
**[17:36] Philomela**
We do?
**[17:39] Elias**
I see.
**[17:40] Elias**
If it was a human that summoned that thing,
it has to be a human that sends it away.
**[17:46] Chise**
But how?
**[17:48] Philomela**
It was summoned through the magic book.
**[17:51] Philomela**
So we should probably use the magic book.
**[17:54] Elias**
That should be right.
**[17:55] Chise**
Where's the book right now, then?
**[17:59] Philomela**
In there.
**[18:01] Philomela**
Swallowed along with my grandmother.
**[18:04] Philomela**
Chise, nothing happened
to me when it touched me.
**[18:10] Philomela**
I must still be recognized
as the book's user.
**[18:16] Philomela**
So I might be able to get the book back.
**[18:21] Chise**
That's—
**[18:23] Lucy**
Absolutely not!
**[18:26] Chise**
L-Lucy. Isaac.
**[18:28] Chise**
You were listening?
**[18:30] Isaac**
She's distracting it right now.
**[18:34] Lucy**
Look at your flimsy limbs.
**[18:37] Lucy**
It might not absorb your
magic power, but at best,
**[18:39] Lucy**
it'll knock you around or impale you.
**[18:41] Lucy**
You're a moron.
**[18:43] Philomela**
But...
**[18:45] Lucy**
We just need that magic book back, right?
**[18:48] Lucy**
Listen, you're the only one here
who can deal with that book.
**[18:54] Lucy**
Our top priority is to get that
book back without losing you.
**[19:01] Isaac**
I agree with that.
**[19:03] Isaac**
Philomela, is there anything else you need?
**[19:07] Philomela**
I need magic power to control it.
**[19:10] Chise**
Use me, then.
**[19:13] Lucy**
What?
**[19:16] Elias**
Chise, you...
**[19:19] Chise**
This is the best course of action.
**[19:22] Chise**
It's my own decision.
**[19:24] Isaac**
In that case, you can use mine, too.
**[19:29] Lucy**
As long as you aren't just taking
it from me without telling me.
**[19:32] Isaac**
But how do we reach the book?
**[19:35] Chise**
Distracting it seems to work.
**[19:39] Isaac**
Not with our legs, though.
**[19:41] Isaac**
We'll be mummies in no time.
**[19:46] Elias**
What?
**[19:48] Ruth**
Goddess, there's no end to this!
**[19:50] Morrigan**
I'm growing bored of dancing.
**[19:53] Morrigan**
I thought the human children might move...
**[19:56] Morrigan**
But we're out of time.
**[20:03] Elias**
You really aren't shy about making
demands of me anymore, Chise.
**[20:08] Chise**
There's a phrase in Japanese that means,
**[20:11] Chise**
"Even if it's your parents who are
standing around, put them to work."
**[20:14] Elias**
Sheesh.
**[20:17] Lucy**
This way!
**[20:22] Chise**
Philomela, do you know where that book is?
**[20:30] Philomela**
Inside the big eyeball!
**[20:36] Philomela**
King of the east, hauling the storms...
**[20:39] Philomela**
By your hands, deafen the tyrants.
**[20:43] Philomela**
By your crown, blind the eyes of the vile.
**[20:48] Philomela**
By your breath, send beyond
the fog your raised child.
**[21:01] Philomela**
Here!
**[21:02] Philomela**
Morrígan, attack it with your spear here!
**[21:06] Morrigan**
I haven't the heart to deny a
young child such an ardent wish.
**[21:12] Morrigan**
You, who walk through the
discarded carcasses of time...
**[21:16] Morrigan**
Time to know the taste of the curse!
**[22:05] Philomela**
Magic power...

**[01:32] Morrigan**
Now, then...
**[01:34] Morrigan**
Shall we bring this to its conclusion?
**[01:55] Philomela**
One stepping past the wreckage of time...
**[02:01] Philomela**
Who walks through the ashes...
**[02:06] Philomela**
Lord of the wreckage of time...
**[02:11] Elias**
It's nothing like when I read it in hiding.
**[02:15] Elias**
Perhaps it's made to be
handled by human hands.
**[02:35] Chise**
It reacted!
**[02:38] Chise**
Philomela?
**[02:40] Chise**
Philomela!
**[02:46] Lizbeth**
You're a useless, dim-witted girl.
**[02:52] Lizbeth**
If only you hadn't been born,
**[02:54] Lizbeth**
Adam and Lilith might
have managed to escape.
**[03:03] Chise**
Philomela!
**[03:05] Chise**
Philomela, are you all right?
**[03:06] Lucy**
Something's interfering!
**[03:13] Lizbeth**
If you'd been more capable,
I wouldn't have had to hit you.
**[03:20] Lizbeth**
But that's fine.
**[03:22] Lizbeth**
I'm glad you were born incompetent.
**[03:27] Lizbeth**
You're going to prove useful to
me in the end, after all.
**[03:42] Philomela**
You were the one who wanted me
to be that way, Grandmother.
**[03:47] Philomela**
All so that I would listen to you.
**[03:50] Philomela**
So that I wouldn't be able
to think about myself.
**[03:54] Philomela**
You cursed me.
**[03:56] Philomela**
But I was taught...
**[04:00] Philomela**
I'm allowed to ignore you.
**[04:02] Philomela**
To get angry.
**[04:03] Philomela**
To shout.
**[04:05] Philomela**
I can choose for myself
and make my own wishes.
**[04:10] Philomela**
So that's what I hope to do.
**[04:13] Lizbeth**
That thing...
**[04:15] Philomela**
Chise gave me this Thurisaz rune.
**[04:18] Philomela**
The single letter of the rune
has more than just one meaning.
**[04:28] Philomela**
"Gate."
**[04:31] Philomela**
"Giant."
**[04:34] Philomela**
"Spirit."
**[04:37] Philomela**
"Thorn."
**[04:40] Philomela**
And... "Thor's hammer!"
**[04:46] Lizbeth**
Philomela!
**[04:46] Philomela**
Grandmother, I'm certain there's
so much that I want to do.
**[04:52] Philomela**
So I'm going to undo
the curse you've put on me.
**[05:10] Lucy**
Hey, are you...
**[05:11] Philomela**
Everyone, hang on to me!
**[05:16] Chise**
Okay.
**[05:17] Lucy**
You don't need to tell me.
**[05:19] Isaac**
You can count on us.
**[05:26] Philomela**
Here, a gate tantamount
to an opening is closed.
**[05:31] Philomela**
Rend from our world the withering fingers.
**[05:34] Philomela**
Sever our gaze from the
stars projected in the sky.
**[05:37] Philomela**
Greet from unreachable distances
the welcoming arms.
**[05:43] Chise**
She's taking my magic power!
**[05:49] Elias**
There's something there.
**[05:50] Elias**
Something else.
**[05:54] Morrigan**
So you've come, attracted by
the scent to aid a heathen mother.
**[05:59] Morrigan**
My maiden is sought after by many indeed.
**[06:02] Philomela**
I offer you a song of return to far away!
**[06:25] Elias**
Don't look.
**[06:54] Tory**
Are you up?
**[06:56] Student A**
Ow...
**[06:57] Student B**
What was I doing?
**[07:01] May**
Miss Veronica!
**[07:03] April**
Thank goodness.
**[07:10] Chise**
It's gone?
**[07:18] Morrigan**
That was a delightful song.
**[07:21] Morrigan**
Little maiden, shackled by a foreign god...
**[07:24] Morrigan**
You've freed yourself well.
**[07:26] Morrigan**
That concludes the festivities.
**[07:29] Morrigan**
I've not fought in such
a fruitful battle in a long time.
**[07:32] Morrigan**
In recognition of this pleasure, I'll not
demand any more compensation.
**[07:38] Morrigan**
My maiden, never forget the sacrifice.
**[07:48] Chise**
Yes.
**[08:09] Adam**
Hey there.
**[08:10] Adam**
That was rather pathetic.
**[08:12] Adam**
Your son doesn't exist anymore.
**[08:16] Adam**
I'm not Adam.
**[08:21] Lizbeth**
Why didn't you come to kill me?
**[08:27] Lizbeth**
You could have done it.
**[08:29] Lizbeth**
You're my son, after all.
**[08:32] Adam**
You could have, too.
**[08:35] Adam**
Lizbeth Sargant.
**[08:38] Adam**
She was birthed by
the woman you so despised.
**[08:40] Adam**
You could have killed her.
**[08:44] Adam**
But you didn't.
**[08:55] Lizbeth**
I simply thought I could
make use of her someday.
**[09:00] Adam**
What a pitiful woman.
**[09:03] Adam**
So strong that you couldn't
welcome anyone inside.
**[09:06] Adam**
Nor did you try.
**[09:09] Adam**
In the end, nobody stayed by your side.
**[09:13] Adam**
My task appears to be complete, too.
**[09:19] Adam**
Goodbye, Adam's daughter.
**[09:36] Philomela**
Grandmother, you...
**[09:38] Lizbeth**
Spare me!
**[09:39] Lizbeth**
I have no need for your words!
**[09:44] Philomela**
There's something I want to ask.
**[09:46] Philomela**
Why did you attack the Webster family?
**[09:51] Philomela**
I need to know.
**[09:53] Philomela**
I need to explain to Lucy.
**[09:59] Lizbeth**
The fewer who know...
**[10:13] Zaccheroni**
You're pretty nimble!
**[10:15] Chise**
Zaccheroni!
**[10:18] Zaccheroni**
Hey, you're all alive.
**[10:22] Zaccheroni**
Turns out you're a pretty good babysitter.
**[10:25] Elias**
Same to you.
**[10:30] Zaccheroni**
I see.
**[10:31] Zaccheroni**
I don't know whose familiar that
is, but that must be the target.
**[10:37] Chise**
Ruth!
**[10:38] Ruth**
Right!
**[10:53] Elias**
Chise!
**[10:56] Werewolf (female)**
My...
**[10:57] Werewolf (female)**
My child...
**[11:00] Werewolf (female)**
still lives!
**[11:06] Elias**
Chise, are you all right?
**[11:08] Chise**
Yes.
**[11:09] Philomela**
The book...
**[11:12] Chise**
Philomela.
**[11:14] Elias**
Like what happens to Chise all the time.
**[11:17] Elias**
You've exhausted yourself.
**[11:18] Chise**
Elias, what do we do?
**[11:20] Chise**
The book...
**[11:22] Elias**
It's been stolen. There's nothing we can do.
**[11:24] Elias**
Looks like Zaccheroni is after it, anyway.
**[11:27] Chise**
You really don't care.
**[11:32] Elias**
Chise?
**[11:34] Chise**
Did I do well this time?
**[11:45] Elias**
Here we go again.
**[11:48] Elias**
Oh, you.
**[11:51] Elias**
Let's go home.
**[13:08] Chise**
You're up.
**[13:09] Chise**
Morning!
**[13:13] Philomela**
Where were you?
**[13:15] Philomela**
Where am I?
**[13:17] Chise**
I just came to get this.
**[13:20] Philomela**
Mistletoe?
**[13:21] Chise**
Yeah.
**[13:22] Chise**
We're going to need it soon.
**[13:25] Philomela**
We are?
**[13:26] Chise**
Um...
**[13:28] Chise**
This is Elias's and my place.
**[13:31] Chise**
We figured it'd be a pain to
go back to the College, so...
**[13:35] Chise**
We're allowed to take some time off
until the investigations start.
**[13:39] Chise**
Everyone else at College is on
winter break, starting today.
**[13:44] Philomela**
Winter break...
**[13:47] Philomela**
I don't know what to think.
**[13:50] Philomela**
What should I worry about first?
**[13:53] Chise**
Is there anything you want
to do during the break?
**[13:59] Philomela**
What about you?
**[14:04] Chise**
Decorating the tree.
**[14:07] Chise**
Year-end shopping, and...
**[14:11] Chise**
I want to try some
party crackers this year.
**[14:15] Chise**
I gotta make some time for Silver,
too, since we've been away.
**[14:22] Philomela**
I...
**[14:26] Philomela**
I want to make potpourri.
**[14:28] Philomela**
With you.
**[14:34] Chise**
Of course!
**[14:37] Tory**
Wait! You're too fast!
**[14:39] Rian**
Have you tried running?
**[14:43] Chise**
Rían!
**[14:47] Chise**
Tory-san.
**[14:49] Tory**
Heya.
**[14:56] Rian**
You...
**[15:04] Rian**
I'm glad you're safe.
**[15:07] Yule Twin A**
The sun sleeps early.
**[15:09] Yule Twin B**
The moon and stars stay up all night.
**[15:12] Yule Twin B**
The night is coming.
**[15:14] Yule Twin B**
The long and short night is coming.
**[15:17] Chise**
Hello.
**[15:19] Chise**
Child of man, child of dragons,
child of the goddess.
**[15:23] Yule Twin B**
The mother of winter is waiting
eagerly at the hill to the east.
**[15:28] Yule Twin A**
You'd best be off.
**[15:31] Chise**
Yes.
**[15:35] Elias**
Tory.
**[15:37] Elias**
Could you take these two home?
**[15:40] Tory**
I'll go anywhere,
as long as it's warm there.
**[15:48] Chise**
Philomela, are you all right?
**[15:51] Philomela**
Yeah.
**[15:58] Tory**
Come on, let's go!
**[15:59] Tory**
I'm gonna freeze to death.
**[16:13] Rian**
You must be cold.
**[16:17] Rian**
Let's go.
**[16:21] Philomela**
Okay.
**[16:27] Chise**
Where's that hill to the east?
**[16:31] Elias**
Chise.
**[16:32] Elias**
Over there.
**[17:22] Young Morrigan**
Thank you for giving Mother
the snowdrop branches.
**[17:28] Young Morrigan**
May your next season be a bright one.
**[17:36] Ruth**
You're really lucky she didn't ask for the
heads of a hundred warriors or anything.
**[17:43] Elias**
You need to learn to say no.
**[17:46] Elias**
For real this time.
**[17:48] Chise**
Yes.
**[17:53] Chise**
Elias?
**[17:55] Elias**
These will be useful.
**[17:56] Elias**
And we can sell them,
so let's take some home.
**[17:59] Chise**
The snowdrops?
**[18:00] Elias**
In some regions, it's said that if you
find these before the end of the year,
**[18:04] Elias**
you'll be blessed with good luck.
**[18:07] Chise**
Huh...
**[18:10] Elias**
Here.
**[18:16] Chise**
It's such a pretty flower.
**[18:24] Chise**
So, for potpourri...
**[18:26] Chise**
The ingredients are really simple.
**[18:29] Chise**
We have plenty of needles, too.
**[18:31] Chise**
You can use whatever you want.
**[18:33] Philomela**
Whatever I want?
**[18:35] Zoe**
Oh, could I have some leftover
fabric and needles and thread?
**[18:40] Zoe**
I want to make some gifts for people, too.
**[18:43] Chise**
Of course.
**[19:36] Veronica**
Well done.
**[19:38] Veronica**
Did you acquire it?
**[19:40] Veronica**
I see.
**[19:42] Veronica**
Good for you.
**[19:45] April**
I brought a meal.
**[19:47] April**
How are you feeling?
**[19:53] Veronica**
Thanks.
**[19:54] Veronica**
I'll have it now.
**[20:01] Isaac**
I can't eat anymore...
**[20:05] Zoe**
Let's play cards next.
**[20:08] Lucy**
We're having cream stew next, apparently.
**[20:11] Isaac**
Insert happy shrieking noises.
**[20:13] Rian**
I'm still good for more.
**[20:14] Isaac**
Seriously?
**[20:15] Lucy**
Huh? Where's Chise?
**[20:21] Chise**
Silver made some.
**[20:24] Joseph**
I told you, I don't need any.
**[20:45] Joseph**
So...
**[20:47] Joseph**
What did you have to sacrifice
in order to survive this time?
**[20:50] Chise**
I think I did what I could.
**[20:54] Chise**
But because of that, a lot of people
died, and I didn't do anything about it.
**[21:02] Joseph**
And?
**[21:04] Chise**
I told myself it had to be done.
**[21:16] Joseph**
I told you.
**[21:18] Joseph**
What's the difference between you and me?
**[21:21] Joseph**
You've finally learned
to put yourself first.
**[21:24] Joseph**
Congrats.
**[21:26] Chise**
It's not like I wanted that.
**[21:29] Joseph**
That's still the result.
**[21:34] Joseph**
C'mon.
**[21:42] Chise**
Something I let go of.
**[21:45] Chise**
Something I wanted and got.
**[21:48] Chise**
Something I want to cherish.
**[21:52] Chise**
Something I cut loose.
**[21:55] Chise**
I still don't know what's right,
and I still need to go on?
**[22:09] Lucy**
You still haven't decided?
**[22:14] Philomela**
I don't know what my preferences are.
**[22:23] Philomela**
Uh... um...
**[22:25] Lucy**
You don't need to choose just one.
**[22:30] Lucy**
There's plenty.
**[22:32] Lucy**
Plenty of time, too.
**[22:36] Rian**
Hey, show me that card.
**[22:38] Isaac**
Not happening.
**[22:39] Isaac**
Don't push me!
**[22:57] Lucy**
What are you doing?!
**[22:59] Chise**
Um....
**[23:01] Chise**
What's this about?
**[23:02] Rian; Isaac; Zoe**
Sorry!
**[23:46] Lindel**
I can't be your ally this time around.
