[01:38] Joseph
    What are you so angry about?
[01:44] Ruth
    Hey!
[01:46] Ruth
    Hey, mage!
[01:49] Joseph
    I'm sorry for getting in
    the way of your experiment,
[01:52] Joseph
    but humans are a dime a dozen
    as far as you're concerned.
[01:55] Joseph
    I thought they were worthless to you.
[01:57] Joseph
    You can just take a quick look around
    and snatch one right up. Easy.
[02:01] Joseph
    Right?
[02:05] Joseph
    How rude! I was still talking.
[02:14] Ruth
    Come on, you!
[02:21] Ruth
    Isabel...
[02:35] Chise
    Where am I?
[02:44] Ruth
    Isabel, did they tease you again?
[02:47] Chise
    It's that man's voice.
[02:50] Chise
    This is the appearance that God gave me.
[02:53] Chise
    It's not like I can help that
    my hair is carrot-colored,
[02:57] Chise
    or that my eyes are the color of weeds.
[03:01] Ruth
    I love you no matter what you look like.
[03:04] Ruth
    Cheer up.
[03:05] Ruth
    Let's see....
[03:08] Chise
    Ulysse?
[03:17] Chise
    Thanks, Ulysse!
[03:21] (A)
    Isabel!
[03:22] (A)
    What happened, Isabel?
[03:23] (B)
    A child got hit by a carriage!
[03:25] ---
    This is bad!
[03:26] (A)
    I saw them chasing after Isabel!
[03:29] (C)
    I-It's not our fault!
[03:31] (C)
    She ran into the street herself!
[03:35] Ruth
    Wait.
[03:37] Ruth
    Wait, please!
[03:38] Ruth
    When is Isabel waking up?
[03:40] Ruth
    I haven't heard her voice in a long time.
[03:42] Ruth
    Isabel.
[03:44] Ruth
    Isabel!
[03:45] Ruth
    Isabel!
[03:50] (A)
    Ulysse, Isabel is gone.
[03:55] Ruth
    She's just sleeping.
[03:58] (A)
    We're going home.
[04:00] Ruth
    No.
[04:02] Ruth
    No, Father.
[04:03] Ruth
    I'm waiting here.
[04:06] Ruth
    She's going to be lonely
    if she wakes up alone.
[04:09] Ruth
    Always.
[04:11] Ruth
    Forever.
[04:33] Chise
    It's all right.
[04:35] Chise
    I woke up, didn't I?
[04:42] Ruth
    Chise...
[04:47] Joseph
    Elias.
[05:09] Joseph
    Aww... Her materials cost
    quite a bit, you know.
[05:13] Joseph
    Corpses aren't free, nor is
    managing the containers.
[05:17] Elias
    Cartaphilus.
[05:23] Joseph
    Don't you dare call me by that name.
[05:30] Joseph
    You're just a monster that
    found a human body.
[05:41] Chise
    Elias!
[05:48] Renfred
    A freak calling another a freak, huh?
[05:53] Renfred
    What a joke.
[05:59] Renfred
    I've put a spell on the bullet
    to stop regeneration.
[06:03] Elias
    Chise, you're alive...
[06:05] Renfred
    Looks like it works.
[06:07] Chise
    I'm in a bit...
[06:09] Chise
    Well, I'm in a lot of pain.
[06:12] Chise
    But I made it.
[06:14] Elias
    I'm surprised.
[06:16] Chise
    I'm a little surprised, too.
[06:24] Elias
    Chise, am I not terrifying in this form?
[06:27] Elias
    I'm going to turn back, so let go.
[06:32] Chise
    You're right.
[06:34] Chise
    I don't think you could get through
    the door being that tall.
[06:38] Chise
    You should probably turn back.
[06:44] Elias
    You're right...
[06:53] Elias
    Silky would be furious with
    me if I broke the door.
[06:58] Chise
    I'd apologize with you even if she was.
[07:03] Elias
    That's reassuring.
[07:13] ---
    This girl has strange taste.
[07:15] Alice
    Master!
[07:16] Renfred
    Alice.
[07:18] Alice
    Master...
[07:21] Renfred
    You idiot!
[07:22] Renfred
    Don't go darting off like that!
[07:25] Renfred
    I thought about abandoning
    you when I saw your letter.
[07:28] Alice
    I'm sorry.
[07:30] Renfred
    Don't overestimate your own strength.
[07:33] Renfred
    Think about it.
[07:34] Alice
    But!
[07:36] Alice
    But...
[07:38] Alice
    You wouldn't have...
[07:42] Renfred
    You're my apprentice and my bodyguard.
[07:47] Renfred
    A bodyguard ought not to
    leave their master's side.
[07:51] Alice
    Yes, sir.
[07:52] Joseph
    You're awful.
[07:57] Joseph
    The brain's complicated.
[07:58] Joseph
    It takes a lot of work to fix.
[08:01] Renfred
    You...
[08:03] Joseph
    I just want that dog because
    he'd make a good subject.
[08:07] Renfred
    Sorcerers don't step into mage territory.
[08:11] Renfred
    That was a tacit agreement.
[08:14] Renfred
    Why do you go after the fairies?
[08:16] Joseph
    Because it seems fun.
[08:21] Joseph
    I could make something interesting
    if I used a fairy for a chimera.
[08:27] Joseph
    But fairy curses are a pain to deal with.
[08:31] Joseph
    That's why I put a collar on that sorcerer.
[08:34] Renfred
    You monster.
[08:39] Joseph
    I don't need a dog if it
    can't even run my errands.
[08:46] Ruth
    Isn't...
[08:50] Ruth
    that...
[08:53] Ruth
    Isabel?
[08:57] Chise
    That isn't your Isabel.
[09:00] Chise
    I've seen you before.
[09:04] Chise
    You deceived Matthew in
    Ulthar and killed Mina.
[09:08] Joseph
    Ulthar?
[09:09] Joseph
    Oh, the cat experiment.
[09:13] Joseph
    I think I could get some decent
    results if I tried it again.
[09:18] Joseph
    What do you think?
[09:21] Elias
    Chise.
[09:26] Chise
    You won't have him.
[09:31] Chise
    I absolutely won't let you have him!
[09:40] Joseph
    What an annoying brat.
[09:51] Ruth
    Chise...
[10:00] (Flashback) Chise
    Anything?
[10:01] (Flashback) Elias
    Yup.
[10:02] (Flashback) Elias
    Truth be told, you can
    do anything with magic.
[10:08] (Flashback) Elias
    You can turn rocks into gold,
[10:10] (Flashback) Elias
    make fish swim through the sky,
    keep harvests from ever rotting.
[10:16] Chise
    His words fly through my mind.
[10:23] (Flashback) Elias
    But... that's something that must not be done.
[10:28] Chise
    I won't let you have him.
[10:33] Joseph
    You're pretty knowledgeable for a kid.
[10:35] Joseph
    Tarantula hawks.
[10:36] Joseph
    They prey on spiders.
[10:38] Joseph
    But being so small,
[10:42] Joseph
    they're just going to get eaten.
[10:48] Elias
    Chise, stop this!
[10:50] Elias
    Your body is...
[10:52] Ruth
    Mage!
[10:54] Elias
    She just ate a little of me.
[10:57] Elias
    Chise!
[11:07] Elias
    Chise!
[11:08] Elias
    Chise, you mustn't do that.
[11:10] Elias
    We must not twist the rules of this world!
[11:15] Blue Flame
    Horse and Hattock!
[11:25] Joseph
    A fairy spell, huh?
[11:27] Joseph
    Not bad.
[11:34] Joseph
    Why did I want that, again?
[11:37] Joseph
    To make a chimera.
[11:39] Joseph
    Why did I want to make
    a chimera in the first place?
[11:42] Joseph
    For what purpose?
[11:45] Joseph
    Oh, whatever.
[11:47] Joseph
    Now, go find him with your strings.
[11:53] Blue Flame
    That wretch won't come looking for us here.
[11:56] Elias
    Thank you, Blue Flame.
[11:59] Blue Flame
    The Thorn of Shadows?
[12:00] Blue Flame
    Damn it, you've brought so
    much trouble with you.
[12:03] Elias
    Buy you don't hate it, do you?
[12:04] Blue Flame
    Not really.
[12:06] Alice
    Get off my head!
[12:07] Elias
    He's a Will-o'-the-Wisp.
[12:10] Elias
    A blue flame fairy that lives in forests
    and cemeteries, confusing passers-by.
[12:14] Blue Flame
    Don't say my name!
[12:16] Blue Flame
    That's rude!
[12:17] Elias
    Fine, fine.
[12:23] Chise
    My blood's racing through my body.
[12:28] Elias
    Chise, calm down.
[12:30] Elias
    It'll be all right.
[12:33] Chise
    Elias.
[12:34] Chise
    Elias.
[12:35] Chise
    I'm sorry.
[12:36] Chise
    I'm sorry.
[12:38] ---
    I didn't listen to you.
[12:39] ---
    I'm sorry.
[12:41] Elias
    Be careful from now on.
[12:43] Elias
    That's good enough.
[12:54] ---
    Chise!
[12:58] ---
    It feels like my blood's going
    to overflow and explode.
[13:02] Blue Flame
    You're a Sleigh Beggy, huh?
[13:04] Blue Flame
    You're so weak.
[13:05] Blue Flame
    Poor thing.
[13:07] Blue Flame
    Take my coal.
[13:09] Blue Flame
    You'll feel a little better.
[13:15] Chise
    It's warm.
[13:17] Blue Flame
    You're finally awake, you sleepy dog.
[13:20] Ruth
    I'm not a dog!
[13:21] Ruth
    I'm...
[13:23] Blue Flame
    Don't be crazy, you dumb dog.
[13:26] Blue Flame
    You're neither human, nor an ordinary dog.
[13:29] Blue Flame
    Are you still not awake?
[13:30] Blue Flame
    Grow up, puppy,
[13:32] Blue Flame
    and stop depending on dead people!
[13:35] Blue Flame
    Quit whining and go back to
    your useful form, church grim!
[13:44] Blue Flame
    Your job is to chase the grave
    robbers' asses to the gates of Hell.
[13:49] Blue Flame
    You're a black dog.
[13:54] Ruth
    I see.
[13:56] Ruth
    That's what it was.
[13:59] Ruth
    I get it now.
[14:01] Ruth
    No matter how long I wait,
    my sister won't come back.
[14:13] Ruth
    Chise, will you take me with you?
[14:19] Ruth
    I'll give you my all.
[14:23] Blue Flame
    You're one thick-headed dog!
[14:25] Blue Flame
    Sleigh Beggy or not, we can't be the
    ones to ask a human to make a pact!
[14:31] Chise
    A pact?
[14:32] Elias
    He's requesting to become your familiar.
[14:35] Elias
    The ultimate promise, that you would
    share everything with one another.
[14:40] Elias
    Your senses, your emotions, even your time.
[14:45] Chise
    Time?
[14:46] Elias
    If you die, he dies.
[14:49] Chise
    No!
[14:51] Ruth
    It's fine.
[14:52] Ruth
    I've seen inside you, so I know.
[15:01] Chise
    Don't you need to wait for Isabel?
[15:07] Joseph
    There you guys are.
[15:10] Renfred
    Cartaphilus!
[15:12] Joseph
    I told you not to call me that!
[15:29] Joseph
    You're so mean.
[15:31] Joseph
    I'd gotten used to that arm. How inconvenient.
[15:34] Joseph
    I won't give your arm back.
[15:37] Renfred
    I don't want an arm that's been
    used as an ingredient for a freak.
[15:42] Joseph
    Hey, he's taken on a dog's form.
[15:45] Joseph
    That makes him an easier target.
[15:46] Ruth
    Please, Chise.
[15:47] ---
    If you die, he dies.
[15:50] Ruth
    I don't want him to take me.
[15:52] Ruth
    I don't want to be here.
[15:53] Ruth
    I'd rather be your...
[15:59] Chise
    It's okay.
[16:01] Chise
    I don't want to be alone anymore, either.
[16:19] Ruth
    Continue after me.
[16:23] Ruth
    Tie now the silver thread.
[16:33] Chise
    Tie now the roots of our veins.
[16:39] Ruth
    The holly, so that we may not be separated.
[16:44] Chise
    The ivy, so that we may not come apart.
[16:47] Chise
    Tie to the yew tree seven times.
[16:51] Chise
    Until the day the snake spits out its tail.
[17:06] Ruth
    Chise, give me a new name.
[17:11] Ruth
    Take me by your side.
[17:18] Chise
    Come,
[17:21] Chise
    Ruth.
[18:07] Joseph
    Oh, dear.
[18:09] Joseph
    He woke up from his dream of being human.
[18:15] Ruth
    Good night, Isabel.
[18:27] Ruth
    Wait for me until my time with her is over.
[18:38] Joseph
    Too bad.
[18:39] Joseph
    So you belong to her now, huh?
[18:42] Joseph
    Undoing a pact is such a pain.
[18:45] Renfred
    Why don't you back off, then?
[18:47] Joseph
    Yeah.
[18:48] Joseph
    I will.
[18:50] Joseph
    What's with that look?
[18:52] Joseph
    You learn to give up quickly
    when you live for a long time.
[18:57] Renfred
    What is the purpose that drives you?
[19:00] Joseph
    To live without suffering.
[19:03] Joseph
    I'm sick of rotting away until an end
    that I don't even know will come.
[19:09] Joseph
    It hurts.
[19:10] Joseph
    It's painful.
[19:11] Joseph
    Huh?
[19:12] Joseph
    But why is my body like this?
[19:14] Renfred
    You don't mind making others
    suffer for your sake?
[19:19] Joseph
    That's right.
[19:20] Joseph
    Isn't that how living things are?
[19:25] Elias
    If that's what you think, you're
    neither human nor beast.
[19:29] Elias
    You're nothing but a monster in
    human form, Cartaphilus.
[19:35] Joseph
    My name is Joseph, little boy.
[19:42] Joseph
    See you around.
[19:48] Renfred
    He's like a natural disaster.
[19:51] Elias
    At least disasters are knowable.
[19:55] Elias
    Cartaphilus...
[19:58] Renfred
    It's said that the Son of God cursed
    him so that he can never die.
[20:04] Renfred
    He's a monster that roams aimlessly,
    driven only to satiate his curiosity.
[20:11] Elias
    And what happened was the result of
    being chosen by that monster.
[20:17] Elias
    Just why?
[20:19] Renfred
    My head may have flown if I'd refused.
[20:22] Renfred
    I had no choice.
[20:24] Elias
    I see.
[20:27] Renfred
    You.
[20:28] Renfred
    Have you met him before?
[20:30] Elias
    Him?
[20:31] Elias
    No way.
[20:34] Renfred
    I see.
[20:36] Elias
    Be careful on your way home.
[20:38] Renfred
    I don't need you to worry for me.
[20:42] Renfred
    We're going.
[20:43] Alice
    Okay!
[20:48] Blue Flame
    Now, then.
[20:49] Blue Flame
    I have to send them off.
[21:12] Elias
    You sure are a hard worker.
[21:14] Blue Flame
    My job is to send the living to the swamp.
[21:18] Blue Flame
    But my job is also to see the dead
    off to the gates to the other side.
[21:24] Blue Flame
    This one is artificial, but being so,
    it'll bear an artificial soul.
[21:38] Blue Flame
    See you!
[21:45] Elias
    Well, we'd better head home, too.
[21:48] Elias
    I can explain things to you tomorrow.
[21:51] Elias
    You must be tired.
[21:52] Chise
    Yes.
[21:54] Elias
    Your scolding will come
    when we get home, too.
[21:56] Chise
    Okay.
[21:58] Chise
    Ruth.
[22:01] Chise
    Let's go home together, Ruth.
[22:07] Ruth
    Yeah.
[22:10] Ruth
    From now on, where you go
    home is where I go home.
[23:55] Chise
    A new friend.
[23:57] Chise
    A brief, peaceful rest.
[24:00] Chise
    The girl steps into a beautiful rose garden,
    her mind still burdened by her troubles.
[24:06] (A)
    Speak of me, and I'll eat you.
[24:09] ---
