I can't remember...

Your eyes
[00:09] Zero
are the same as mine, young man.
[00:15] Saybil
...who she is...
[00:20] Zero
Come.
[00:21] Zero
I shall take you to a world
befitting of you.
[00:28] Saybil
...or who I am.
SIGN Three Years Later
SIGN Kingdom of Wenias Royal Academy of Magic
[00:37] Guy
It's a summons.
[00:39] Girl
Who's this "Saybil?"
[00:40] Guy
You know. That gloomy, mysterious guy.
[00:43] Guy
To see the Headmaster?
[00:45] Girl
What does that mean?
[00:47] Kudo
A summons? What did he do?
[00:50] Student A (male)
Well, you know he has the worst
grades in the academy—
[00:54] Student A (male)
It's probably to tell him he's expelled.
[00:58] Hort
What's all this? What's the fuss about?
[01:00] Student B (female)
A student has been summoned
to the Headmaster's office.
[01:04] Hort
A summons? What for?
[01:07] Student B (female)
Who knows? But they say
Headmaster Albus is super scary.
[01:11] Student B (female)
Poor dude.
[01:15] Los
Hear me! Come out, Albus!
[01:19] Los
Wilt thou open thy door?!
[01:21] Los
Dost thou truly not hear me?
[01:25] Los
If so, I look quite the fool.
[01:28] Los
'Tis worse than being ignored!
[01:30] Los
Hey!
[01:32] Los
I know thou art there!
[01:34] Saybil
Um...
[01:36] Los
What's this? A student of the academy?
[01:39] Los
What business hast thou with me,
promising young man?
SIGN Lowest-ranked student in his year
[01:43] Saybil
Promising? Me?
[01:48] Los
As is plain to see, I am quite busy.
[01:51] Los
Begone.
[01:53] Saybil
The Headmaster summoned me.
[01:55] Los
What?
[01:57] Los
How splendid. A port in the storm!
[02:00] Los
I welcome thee!
[02:03] Los
Come! Quickly! Do open the door!
[02:06] Saybil
Um, but...
[02:08] Saybil
...the Headmaster didn't call
for you, correct?
[02:12] Saybil
If I let you in, I'll get in trouble.
[02:17] Los
Sound reasoning.
[02:18] Los
I am fond of sound reasoning.
[02:21] Los
Very well.
[02:24] Los
In that case,
[02:26] Los
this is mine answer!
[02:30] Saybil
My dear Ludens, say hello!
[02:38] Los
Now, cry out! Beg for thy life!
[02:41] Los
A precious student's life is at stake.
[02:44] Los
Not even Albus would ignore this!
[02:46] Holdem
Now, see here!
[02:48] Holdem
Loux Krystas!
[02:50] Holdem
Y-You wretch! Step away from that student!
[02:57] Los
My, my.
[02:59] Los
What have we here?
[03:01] Los
The third-rate servant. How time has flown by.
[03:04] Holdem
Can it! You're nothing but trouble
every time you show up!
[03:09] Los
I have business with Albus.
[03:12] Holdem
Go back to your lair!
[03:17] Los
Impossible!
[03:28] Los
Don't touch it!
[03:28] Holdem
Stop!
[03:29] Holdem
You got a death wish?
[03:36] Los
M-My staff!
[03:39] Los
Holdem, thou fiend!
[03:41] Los
Thou darest kick dear Ludens,
treasure of my lineage!
[03:46] Los
Know that this merits a thousand deaths!
[03:49] Holdem
What a tired line.
[03:50] Los
How mean!
[03:56] Albus
Holdem, what is all this racket abou—
[04:01] Albus
Loux Krystas!
[04:04] Albus
How did you get into the academy?
[04:07] Los
How?
[04:10] Los
Why, with cuteness.
[05:43] Los
What is this?
[05:45] Los
Thou didst not serve me tea,
third-rate servant!
[05:47] Holdem
There is no tea for intruders.
SIGN Episode 1
The Remedial Student and the Witch of the Staff
[05:49] Los
How mean!
[05:50] Los
I want tea, too! And tea cakes!
[05:52] Saybil
A special field program?
[05:54] Saybil
I'm not expelled?
[05:55] Albus
Correct.
[05:56] Albus
I can't see you progressing
within the academy.
[06:00] Albus
So, I aim to develop you
in a different environment.
[06:05] Saybil
A different environment?
[06:08] Albus
The Church and witches were at war until
five years ago. You learned that, correct?
[06:13] Saybil
Yes. And that there are still
witch hunts in the south.
[06:17] Albus
Why do you think that is?
[06:20] Albus
What caused the end of witch hunts
here in the Kingdom of Wenias?
[06:25] Saybil
I believe the greatest factor
was the war ten years ago.
[06:31] Saybil
It was the evil sorcerer Thirteen.
[06:33] Saybil
Ten years ago,
[06:36] Saybil
he caused a war by spreading
magic throughout the kingdom...
[06:41] Saybil
to end the persecution of witches
and create a place in the world for them.
[06:47] Albus
You've done your homework.
[06:49] Albus
And that sorcerer was executed.
[06:52] Albus
I saw it done.
[06:55] Saybil
I, um...
[06:56] Albus
Don't be nervous. You were correct.
[07:00] Albus
Thirteen's methods were wrong,
[07:03] Albus
but the war brought magic into wide use,
[07:05] Albus
and it greatly changed the world's
view of witches. There's no denying it.
[07:11] Albus
Though it can take decades to master magic,
[07:14] Albus
anyone with a talent for it
can use it within a few years.
[07:18] Albus
Thirteen made that known to the world.
[07:22] Albus
That's why I created this academy,
[07:24] Albus
to administrate the spread of magic.
[07:28] Albus
The school has only been
around for four years,
[07:30] Albus
but magic is already integrated
into daily life in the kingdom.
[07:35] Albus
In the south, though, witches and mages
are unusual and still seen as "other."
[07:39] Los
I said I want tea! And cakes!
[07:41] Holdem
Let go!
[07:43] Albus
Holdem, let her have tea to shut her up.
[07:49] Los
Yum yummy nummy!
[07:51] Albus
Thus, I have decided to create
a witch village in the south.
[07:56] Albus
A village where witches are treated
as normal people, not others.
[08:00] Albus
I want you to serve as a mage there.
[08:06] Albus
If after three years the
supervisor deems you unfit,
[08:11] Albus
you will have all memory of magic
and the academy sealed away.
[08:17] Saybil
Th-Three years...
[08:18] Los
Oh, thought this through, haven't thou?
[08:21] Los
This provides thy student with training
[08:24] Los
and at the same time uses him
to expand thy influence!
[08:28] Los
Very well!
[08:29] Los
I am fond of efficiency.
[08:31] Los
The journey to this
village is treacherous.
[08:34] Los
I, Loux Krystas, the Dawn Witch, shall bring
my 300 years of experience to the job!
[08:40] Albus
No, you see, I already arranged
for a witch escort...
[08:44] Los
I sent that witch away.
[08:48] Albus
Excuse me?
[08:49] Los
Behold, the commission letter.
[08:51] Los
She gladly accepted my offer
to switch jobs and left.
[08:59] Albus
Are you daft?!
[09:01] Albus
This is why witches drive me mad!
[09:03] Albus
Every one of them, selfish! Decadent!
No spirit of cooperation!
[09:07] Los
So hyperbolic. Am I not
offering to cooperate?
[09:11] Los
All I require is permission to peruse
[09:14] Los
the world's first manual on magic,
The Grimoire of Zero.
[09:18] Saybil
The Grimoire of Zero...
[09:20] Albus
I've told you a thousand times.
That is a forbidden text.
[09:24] Albus
Permission cannot be granted.
[09:27] Los
Thy justification is that the tome
is dangerous, no?
[09:29] Los
That one could destroy the world with it?
[09:32] Los
I harbor, however, no fondness
for causing suffering.
[09:36] Albus
You will receive no special
treatment. That's final.
[09:41] Albus
But...
[09:42] Albus
...yes.
[09:45] Albus
I could let you meet
the author of the grimoire.
[09:48] Los
Th-The Mud-Black Witch?!
[09:51] Holdem
But my lady! That's...
[09:54] Albus
I can arrange a meeting,
[09:56] Albus
but I cannot guarantee
she'll talk about magic.
[10:00] Albus
You might not even recognize
that it's her when you meet.
[10:05] Los
I am Loux Krystas, the Dawn Witch!
[10:08] Los
I shan't be fooled by any disguise!
SIGN Entrance to the Southern Tunnel (Witch Gallows)
[10:15] Los
Over here!
[10:17] Los
Right here!
[10:20] Saybil
Thank goodness.
[10:21] Los
What? Is this your first trip
outside the kingdom?
[10:24] Hort
Oh, I found you! I'm not too late!
[10:30] Hort
You're going to the village
field program, right?
[10:32] Hort
I'm Hort!
[10:34] Hort
I'm a fourth-year student.
One year ahead of you!
[10:36] Hort
I'll be coming with you!
[10:38] Saybil
Huh? But aren't you...?
[10:40] Hort
You're Professor Los, right?
A pleasure to meet you.
[10:43] Los
Oh, "professor," eh?
[10:46] Kudo
I ain't goin' with you.
[10:48] Kudo
I'm a seasoned traveler.
I don't need an escort.
[10:52] Saybil
Kudo.
[10:54] Kudo
I'll be taking these two with me.
To the village.
[10:59] Los
You came just to decline mine
escort? How conscientious.
[11:04] Kudo
I just didn't want my grades to be docked!
[11:08] Los
Ah, I see. A coward, then.
[11:12] Kudo
Shut up!
[11:13] Saybil
Wow. He's blushing.
[11:15] Kudo
No, I'm angry!
[11:18] Kudo
Tell me something, Saybil.
[11:20] Kudo
What's the worst student in school
doing in the special program?
[11:25] Saybil
Good question. Everyone else
has excellent grades.
[11:29] Student 1
C'mon, Kudo!
[11:31] Student 2
Let's get moving!
[11:34] Kudo
Since you understand you don't belong,
go back to the academy and drop out.
[11:40] Kudo
For your own good.
[11:42] Hort
What's his problem?
[11:45] Hort
As a beastfallen, doesn't he know
to at least soften his attitude?
[11:50] Saybil
I don't expect him to.
[11:52] Hort
Huh?
[11:53] Saybil
It seems wrong to hold
beastfallen to separate standards.
[11:57] Saybil
He's practically honest to a fault,
and I find that reassuring.
[12:05] Hort
Sayb, you're so cool!
[12:07] Saybil
Huh?
[12:08] Hort
You helped me change the way I think!
[12:12] Los
Come. Time to go.
[12:14] Hort
Yes, ma'am!
[12:20] Los
We must pass through the tunnel
and find a carriage at once,
[12:23] Los
and then reach an inn before sunset.
[12:26] Saybil
What is it, Hort?
[12:28] Hort
Oh, nothing!
[12:29] Hort
Professor Los!
[12:31] Hort
Are you hungry?
[12:33] Los
Here. 'Tis hot.
[12:37] Hort
Professor?
[12:38] Hort
Did you just feed your staff a skewer?!
[12:41] Los
Sure. 'Tis a perfectly normal occurrence.
[12:44] Hort
N-No, it isn't!
[12:46] Hort
Wait, is your staff...?
[12:49] Los
Indeed, the Staff of Ludens.
The witch eater, just as thou fearest.
[12:55] Hort
I knew it!
[12:56] Hort
When someone touches it, it consumes
their magic and kills them, right?
[13:00] Saybil
Oh...
[13:02] Saybil
That's why they stopped me...
[13:04] Hort
You tried to touch it?
[13:06] Saybil
I mean, Professor Los
was handling it no problem.
[13:08] Hort
Oh, that's true.
[13:11] Hort
So it doesn't necessarily kill you, then.
[13:15] Los
No, it does.
[13:18] Los
We formed a pact.
[13:20] Los
Even with my magic fully depleted,
Ludens keeps me alive.
[13:24] Los
My dear Ludens and I
are one in body and soul!
[13:28] Los
Oh, my dear, sweet Ludens!
[13:31] Hort
Sayb, that's my skewer!
[13:33] Saybil
What?
[13:34] Saybil
Oh. S-Sorry.
[13:38] Hort
I set it aside and everything! Spit it up!
[13:41] Los
I don't see why thou
wouldst eat spat-up food.
[13:45] Hort
Th-That's not the issue!
[13:48] Hort
Oh, jeez!
[13:49] Hort
Don't blame me if you get a tummy ache!
[13:55] Hort
S-Sayb!
[13:57] Los
'Tis an extraordinary level
of motion sickness.
[14:01] Los
Here. I shall lend thee
my favorite handkerchief.
[14:04] Saybil
Th-Thank you.
[14:08] Saybil
I was totally fine the last time
I rode in a carriage.
[14:12] Hort
Professor! Sayb is gonna die!
[14:15] Los
I get it. Calm down.
[14:17] Los
Driver!
[14:19] Los
Stop the carriage. We need
to get off to prevent a casualty.
[14:30] Saybil
W-Wow.
[14:32] Saybil
That's Solm, right?
[14:35] Saybil
You can already cast it
without an incantation.
[14:37] Saybil
No wonder you're the top student.
[14:40] Hort
What? Y-You knew?
[14:43] Saybil
Yeah. You're famous.
[14:45] Saybil
Sorry you're stuck with me...
[14:47] Hort
Huh?
[14:49] Hort
It's not like I'm perfect
at everything myself.
[14:52] Saybil
You're smart and nice. Wow.
[14:57] Hort
I'm not all that nice.
[15:01] Hort
I'm just well-practiced.
[15:04] Hort
See? Check out this smile!
[15:10] Saybil
You look so cute.
[15:11] Hort
I do, don't I? Very candid, Sayb!
[15:14] Hort
That's my special skill.
[15:16] Hort
If you keep smiling, it's easier
to get people to like you.
[15:20] Hort
Before I entered the academy,
[15:22] Hort
I couldn't even get decent
meals without smiling.
[15:26] Hort
But I guess all the kids who chose
to attend had issues, right?
[15:32] Hort
Especially the teenage students like us...
[15:35] Hort
We wanted the power to change things...
[15:40] Hort
What about you, Sayb? Got a story, too?
[15:43] Saybil
I...
[15:44] Saybil
don't remember anything
before the academy.
[15:47] Hort
What?
[15:49] Saybil
I don't even remember
taking the entrance exam.
[15:51] Saybil
If I'm expelled, I'll lose
my memories of the academy, too.
[15:55] Saybil
Then I'll truly be empty...
[15:58] Saybil
So, I have no choice but to become a mage.
[16:02] Saybil
And yet I can barely even—
[16:04] Los
'Tis quite a passive reason,
"I have no choice."
[16:10] Saybil
Professor Los...
[16:12] Hort
Professor, your staff!
[16:14] Hort
Are you using the Staff of Ludens as a pot?!
[16:17] Los
Don't put it so rudely!
[16:20] Los
I am simply having my dear
Ludens carry water for me.
[16:24] Los
Now, what were you saying?
[16:26] Saybil
Huh?
[16:27] Saybil
Well, um...
[16:29] Saybil
I can barely cast magic at all.
[16:35] Los
Your spells get out of control?
[16:37] Saybil
Yes.
[16:38] Saybil
But when I try to restrain them,
I can't cast at all.
[16:42] Los
I see. Perhaps Kudo spoke true.
'Twould be best to quit.
[16:49] Los
Nothing is more dangerous
than casting without control.
[16:54] Saybil
But after three years of practice,
I can cast a few spells.
[16:59] Los
So thy intent is to expand thy repertoire
through years of diligent training?
[17:05] Saybil
Is that... not enough?
[17:07] Los
I would not say that.
[17:09] Los
The path, however, may well be harsher
than losing thy memories.
[17:13] Los
Magic is a new art.
Some will fear and detest it.
[17:18] Los
If mages repel that malice with violence,
their reputation will plummet to the ground.
[17:25] Los
But not fighting back means
being tortured to death.
[17:28] Los
'Tis a valid option to forget everything
and start a new life, in my opinion.
[17:35] Los
Now, then. It should be ready now.
[17:39] Hort
But for a witch to eat a meal made
with the witch-eating staff...
[17:44] Hort
Doesn't it kinda feel like cannibalism?
[17:46] Los
No!
[17:48] Los
Thou madest me imagine it momentarily!
[17:53] Underling 1
We found the academy brats,
just as the informant said.
[18:00] the Tyrant
Which group seems tougher?
[18:03] Underling 1
One group had a lizard beastfallen.
[18:06] the Tyrant
A beastfallen studying magic?
[18:08] the Tyrant
How cute. That's funny.
[18:10] the Tyrant
The monsters the witches
used for sacrifices
[18:14] the Tyrant
are gonna cast magic themselves now?
[18:17] Underling 1
Let's start with the beastfallen, then.
[18:19] the Tyrant
Yeah. I'll crush him.
[18:22] the Tyrant
We gotta teach the trash
of Wenias once and for all...
[18:28] the Tyrant
There ain't gonna be no peace
between the Church and witches!
[18:36] the Tyrant
Gather everyone and lay the traps!
[18:40] the Tyrant
The lizard hunt begins!
[18:44] Los
My, my. Not quite on schedule,
but we made it to the inn.
[18:50] Hort
Yummy...
[18:54] Saybil
You sure have a big appetite, Hort.
[18:56] Hort
N-No I don't!
[18:58] Los
Most mages are big eaters.
[19:02] Los
It comes from an effort
to recover lost magic through food.
[19:07] Saybil
I don't eat that much, though.
[19:09] Los
Thou art an exception.
As are witches with no magic like me.
[19:14] Los
Thus,
[19:15] Los
when witch hunters spot
a slender-figured big eater,
[19:19] Los
they always take note.
[19:21] Hort
You should've said that earlier!
[19:25] Student 2
That darned Kudo.
[19:27] Student 1
For real.
[19:28] Student 1
That asshole—
[19:30] Student 1
Oh?
[19:31] Student 1
Saybil.
[19:32] Student 1
Thank goodness. You went
with the escorting professor, right?
[19:36] Student 2
We were attacked by thieves last night.
[19:39] Student 1
We were considering
returning to the academy.
[19:43] Hort
What? Your stuff was stolen?
[19:45] Student 1
No. Kudo ran off alone with the map!
[19:49] Saybil
Kudo did that? Really?
[19:52] Student 2
Excuse me? It's true. He ran off.
[19:57] Los
How strange.
[19:59] Los
Kudo ran away and you two
are unharmed. Nothing stolen.
[20:05] Los
Looks aside, you're young men.
[20:09] Los
If captured, you'd fetch a price.
[20:11] Los
The logical target is you two, not Kudo.
[20:15] Los
But since you two are here unharmed,
they chased after Kudo.
[20:21] Los
Why?
[20:22] Student 1
Don't ask me!
[20:24] Student 2
Kudo called us dead weight!
[20:27] Student 1
He shouted that small fry who can't cast
aren't even worth protecting.
[20:32] Los
Ah, the answer is clear:
[20:34] Los
witch hunters.
[20:39] Los
Kudo noticed immediately,
[20:42] Los
asserting unnecessarily loudly
that he was the only mage.
[20:44] Los
He made sure his academy
buddies could escape.
[20:50] Los
'Twas brute courage,
foolhardy though it was.
[20:56] Saybil
Kudo once told me...
[20:59] Saybil
He said he entered
the academy to protect people.
[21:04] Saybil
One time I fell behind in class
and was being bullied.
[21:11] Saybil
He protected me then, too.
[21:14] Saybil
He's not a bad guy.
[21:17] Los
I shall go.
[21:19] Los
'Twas my error to permit him
to travel separately.
[21:25] Saybil
I'll go with you!
[21:26] Hort
M-Me, too!
[21:27] Los
No.
[21:29] Los
Against witch hunters, fledgling
mages would only get in the way.
[21:34] Saybil
But...
[21:35] Los
Silence!
[21:37] Los
You will do as I say and wait here!
[21:42] Hort
She left us behind.
[21:44] Saybil
Yeah.
[21:45] Hort
But I can't just sit here and wait.
[21:48] Saybil
Yeah...
[21:50] Hort
Which means!
[21:51] Hort
It's time to use the handkerchief Professor
Los gave you when you were barfing!
[21:57] Hort
I'll scry for her location!
[22:01] Saybil
Hort, you're a little too excited
about breaking the rules.
[22:23] Hort
Found her!
[22:27] Saybil
You're accurately tracking
a moving target. You're incredible.
[22:34] Hort
Still, I can't believe those two.
[22:37] (Flashback) Student 2
You want us to look for Kudo?!
[22:39] (Flashback) Student 1
Hell no! I'm not getting
expelled over this.
[22:43] (Flashback) Student 1
Not for a beastfallen!
[22:47] Hort
They're the worst!
[22:49] Saybil
If you'd asked with a smile,
I think they would have agreed.
[22:53] Hort
I only force a smile for
people I deem worthy!
[22:58] Saybil
But you smile at me.
[23:02] Hort
Actually, around you,
I just get naturally smiley!
[23:07] Hort
I'm not forcing it!
[23:09] Hort
That probably means...
[23:12] Hort
I think I must like you, Sayb!
[23:15] Saybil
What?!
[23:17] Hort
Did you just go, "What?!"
[23:19] Saybil
Sorry. I didn't expect that.
[23:21] Hort
Uh...
[23:22] Hort
Don't misunderstand me!
I like you as a friend, okay?
[23:26] Saybil
That's still a surprise to me...
[23:33] Saybil
What is it?
[23:34] Hort
S-Sayb, look...
[23:45] Saybil and Hort
Kudo!
[23:48] Saybil
Did he let his tail take the fall?
[23:50] Hort
Sayb! This is no time for jokes!
[23:56] Los
I really hate that.

[00:10] Nobleman
Time to move out already.
[00:12] Soldier
Yes, sir!
[00:18] Hort
Do you think Kudo died?
[00:21] Saybil
I would guess that Kudo can regrow his tail.
[00:27] Hort
We should take it with us, right?
[00:30] Hort
His tail...
[00:33] Hort
It's cold and slippery...
[00:36] Hort
I don't hate it.
[00:40] Saybil
Hort, look.
[00:41] Saybil
On the ground.
[00:44] ---
These are...
[00:46] Saybil
Three sets of footprints.
[00:48] Saybil
One is Kudo, and one is Professor Los.
[00:52] Saybil
The last one is the witch hunter.
[00:54] Saybil
I think.
[00:56] Hort
But that means... there's only one enemy.
[01:01] Hort
And yet, even with the advantage of magic,
Kudo chose to flee rather than fight.
[01:07] Hort
It might be best to turn back.
[01:10] Hort
This is probably a professional.
[01:12] Saybil
A professional?
[01:14] Hort
Remember from class?
[01:17] Hort
The former death-row inmates,
recruited by the Church to hunt witches.
[01:22] Hort
It's an Arbiter from Dia Ignis!
[02:59] Hort
They'll stop at nothing to kill a witch.
SIGN Episode 2
Don't Call Me a Traitor
[03:04] Hort
They don't care how many
innocent people may die.
[03:07] Hort
That's how they've been trained.
[03:10] Saybil
But Dia Ignis was dismantled.
[03:13] Hort
Just because the organization is gone
doesn't mean the people in it went away, too!
[03:19] Saybil
Hort...
[03:24] Underling 1
Damn! Where'd he go?
[03:26] Underling 2
We need to find him, fast!
[03:28] Underling 1
Hey!
[03:28] Underling 2
Oh, right. That was close.
[03:31] Underling 1
Let's go!
[03:34] Kudo
I hope those two got away safely.
[03:40] The Tyrant
Now, where are they hiding?
[03:46] Student 2
Kudo.
[03:47] Student 1
They're gonna find us...
[03:50] (Flashback) Kudo
Small fry who can't cast
aren't even worth protecting.
[03:54] (Flashback) Student 1
H-Hey!
[03:57] (Flashback) Kudo
Don't follow me. You're dead weight!
[04:03] Kudo
What is that rope?
[04:11] Kudo
A freaking trap?!
[04:22] Hort
I've met one before.
[04:26] Hort
Just once, when I was little.
[04:29] Hort
I went to a nearby village to see a friend.
[04:33] Hort
That's when...
[04:36] (Flashback) The Tyrant
Whad'ya want? Ya got a friend in this heap?
[04:40] (Flashback) The Tyrant
If ya can't prove they're not a witch,
I'll have to burn you, too.
[04:48] (Flashback) Hort
I-I have no...
[04:53] (Flashback) Hort
friends here!
[04:55] Hort
I ran away.
[04:57] Hort
Even though my friend was killed,
I was scared...
[05:01] Hort
I lied to protect myself...
[05:05] Hort
If it was an Arbiter that attacked Kudo,
[05:08] Hort
we'll be no help whatsoever!
[05:11] Hort
So let's go back!
[05:14] Hort
Sayb, was that...?
[05:16] Saybil
Yeah.
[05:19] Saybil
I think it'd be best to run.
[05:21] Hort
Yeah.
[05:23] Saybil
Professor Los might get mad if we show up.
[05:26] Hort
Th-That's true. So let's—
[05:29] Saybil
But...
[05:30] Saybil
we have to help.
[05:32] Hort
What?
[05:33] Saybil
Hort, if your friend had still been alive,
I don't think you would've run.
[05:38] Saybil
I'm sure you would've tried to
help while holding back tears,
[05:41] Saybil
just like now.
[05:44] Hort
Sayb...
[05:55] Kudo
Damn it!
[05:56] Kudo
I gotta get out of here.
[06:05] Kudo
Hell, it was just a rope.
[06:08] The Tyrant
So we meet again, lizard boy.
[06:13] Kudo
The Dia Ignis Arbiter!
[06:16] The Tyrant
The Church calls me the Tyrant.
[06:20] The Tyrant
Ya fell right into 'em, huh?
[06:22] The Tyrant
These simple traps.
[06:24] The Tyrant
Are ya scared?
[06:26] The Tyrant
Ya gotta be.
[06:27] The Tyrant
Any step could set off a trap.
[06:31] The Tyrant
Not knowing stops you in your tracks.
[06:34] Kudo
My attack magic didn't work
on this guy yesterday,
[06:38] Kudo
so I won't go on the offensive.
[06:40] The Tyrant
You entered my hunting grounds.
[06:46] Kudo
Solm!
[06:56] The Tyrant
So you can run, eh, Mr. Lizard Mage?
[07:00] Kudo
Impossible!
[07:02] The Tyrant
Ya know,
[07:04] The Tyrant
you're awfully slow!
[07:13] The Tyrant
Huh.
[07:15] The Tyrant
I guess being a beastfallen and a mage
don't necessarily mean you're strong.
[07:21] The Tyrant
What's this?
[07:22] The Tyrant
The wound is closed?
[07:26] The Tyrant
I bet the Church's researchers
would love to have ya as a lab rat.
[07:31] The Tyrant
Hey! One of you out there!
[07:33] The Tyrant
Fetch me a cage!
[07:39] Kudo
Why me?
[07:41] Kudo
Why is it always me?
[07:43] Kudo
After I managed to escape that place...
[07:46] Kudo
After I've come so far...
[07:50] Kudo
No.
[07:50] (Flashback) Kudo
No.
[07:51] Kudo
No! No! No!
[07:51] (Flashback) Kudo
No! No! No!
[07:57] (Flashback) Man
Now, witness as I return his arms to normal!
[08:02] Kudo
I refuse to go back to living in a cage!
[08:06] Kudo
I thought I'd become strong.
[08:09] Kudo
I thought I could protect others.
[08:11] Kudo
I can't even protect myself!
[08:14] (Flashback) Kudo
I don't need an escort.
[08:17] (Flashback) Albus
Listen, Kudo. The world can be harsh.
[08:20] (Flashback) Albus
But you don't have to bear
the burden all on your own.
[08:25] (Flashback) Kudo
Oh? Who's gonna shoulder it for me, then?
[08:29] (Flashback) Albus
Remember this:
[08:31] (Flashback) Albus
As long as you are a student
of my academy, I will not forsake you.
[08:37] (Flashback) Albus
Loux Krystas is a little odd,
[08:40] (Flashback) Albus
but she's a good witch.
[08:43] Kudo
If I'd gone with them, would I—
[08:47] Kudo
Would someone have chosen...
[08:49] ---
to protect a guy like me?
[08:55] The Tyrant
Hey. Ain't ya heard of futile resistance?
[08:59] The Tyrant
Don't waste my time.
[09:02] The Tyrant
Ya hear me?
[09:09] The Tyrant
Well? Now do you underst—
[09:12] The Tyrant
Hey, now.
[09:14] The Tyrant
Oh, screw it!
[09:16] The Tyrant
I'll crush your skull and
offer 'em your corpse!
[09:20] Los
Hold thy horses!
[09:27] The Tyrant
What was that?!
[09:28] Los
I swear.
[09:31] Los
Attacking a stray duckling.
Thou hast no shame.
[09:37] Los
My dear Ludens, say hello!
[09:48] Los
Let me guess.
[09:49] Los
Thy capital crimes were pardoned
when Dia Ignis was disbanded,
[09:53] Los
but with no skills but
killing, thou wast destitute,
[09:56] Los
and now servest the anti-witch faction?
[09:59] Kudo
H-How come y-you're here?
[10:02] Los
'Tis a teacher's duty.
[10:04] Kudo
But...
[10:06] Los
Silence! Just stand back!
[10:08] The Tyrant
You...
[10:10] The Tyrant
That staff... Is that the Staff of Ludens?!
[10:13] Los
Indeed!
[10:15] Los
For I am the pact-holder
of the Staff of Ludens,
[10:19] Los
the Dawn Witch, Loux Krystas.
[10:22] Los
And at the moment, I am a teacher
to the Magic Academy's ducklings!
[10:35] Los
Back, murderous mad dog loosed
from the Church's chains!
[10:43] The Tyrant
Damn it!
[10:51] Kudo
I-Incredible!
[10:54] Los
I harbor no fondness for conflict.
[10:56] Los
Shouldst thou retreat now,
I shan't take thy life.
[11:00] Saybil
Professor Los!
[11:02] Los
That's not good.
[11:04] Hort
Kudo! Where are you?
[11:09] Hort
Professor Los!
[11:11] Los
Why did you come? Flee!
[11:18] Saybil
Look out.
[11:23] The Tyrant
Let me thank you.
[11:24] The Tyrant
So nice of you to show up.
[11:27] Hort
S-Sayb!
[11:29] The Tyrant
Don't move!
[11:42] The Tyrant
I'll snap this twerp's neck!
[11:44] The Tyrant
Got that, escorting professor?
[11:49] Hort
P-Professor Los.
[11:51] Los
What would that gain thee, Arbiter?
[11:55] Los
The moment you end these children's lives,
[11:58] Los
thy life shall end as well.
[12:01] The Tyrant
This can end without all that killing.
Throw down your staff.
[12:06] The Tyrant
If I can get the Staff of Ludens and
[12:09] The Tyrant
its pact-holder in exchange
for letting the twerp go,
[12:12] The Tyrant
then that's a bargain.
[12:15] Los
I'm afraid I cannot afford that bargain.
[12:19] The Tyrant
Then we all die together!
[12:32] Los
Stop!
[12:39] Los
There. Now unhand Sayb.
[12:48] The Tyrant
Are you kidding?
[12:50] The Tyrant
The pact-holder of the Staff of
Ludens is playing teacher for real?
[12:56] Hort
Professor Los! Don't worry
about us. Just get him!
[12:59] The Tyrant
Shut up!
[13:01] The Tyrant
Listen good, Teach. Step away from the staff.
[13:05] The Tyrant
Hey, stop lying there.
[13:08] The Tyrant
Bring me that staff!
[13:11] The Tyrant
Wrap it with this.
[13:14] Saybil
B-But...
[13:15] The Tyrant
It's special consecrated cloth.
[13:18] The Tyrant
When wrapped in it, the Staff of
Ludens ain't nothin' but a stick.
[13:29] The Tyrant
What'd I tell ya?
[13:31] The Tyrant
Hey, tie up Teach over there,
[13:34] The Tyrant
Hort.
[13:38] The Tyrant
C'mon, missy. No need to resist.
[13:42] The Tyrant
You can cut the act now.
[13:45] The Tyrant
Go on. Tell 'em...
[13:47] The Tyrant
that the Church sent
you to the Magic Academy
[13:51] The Tyrant
as a spy for the anti-witch faction!
[13:54] Hort
S-Stop!
[13:58] Hort
I was called the child of a demon.
[14:01] Hort
At a young age, I suddenly
started growing horns.
[14:06] Hort
My mother told me...
[14:08] (Flashback) Hort's Mother
Always keep a smile on your face.
[14:11] (Flashback) Hort's Mother
Then you'll be saved.
[14:14] (Flashback) Young Hort
Okay.
[14:15] (Flashback) Young Hort
Stop it!
[14:17] (Flashback) Young Hort
I'm scared!
[14:19] (Flashback) Young Hort
Help! Mommy!
[14:22] (Flashback) Church Staff
Those horns are proof your
soul is tainted. Hide them.
[14:27] (Flashback) Church Staff
It's for your own good.
[14:30] (Flashback) Young Hort
Please let my soul be cleansed.
[14:36] (Flashback) Young Hort
I promise to never stop smiling,
[14:38] (Flashback) Young Hort
so let no one hate me.
[14:41] (Flashback) Hort
A magic academy?
[14:43] (Flashback) Church Staff
Yes. I want you to enroll there
and provide us information.
[14:48] (Flashback) Hort
Um, what about after graduation?
[14:51] (Flashback) Church Staff
You will maintain your cover as a mage.
[14:53] (Flashback) Church Staff
Work for the Church's benefit,
striving to never be discovered.
[14:58] (Flashback) Church Staff
I have great expectations.
[14:59] (Flashback) Hort
Yes, sir!
[15:01] (Flashback) School Friend 1 (female)
Wow, Hort! You got the highest grades again!
[15:04] (Flashback) School Friend 2 (female)
You could be the top mage
in the kingdom one day.
[15:07] (Flashback) Hort
You're too nice.
[15:09] (Flashback) School Friend 3 (male)
What kind of job do you
want after you graduate?
[15:11] (Flashback) Hort
What? Um...
[15:15] (Flashback) Hort
Me?
[15:16] (Flashback) Albus
The Magic Division of the Church & Mage
Army wants to recruit you after graduation.
[15:21] (Flashback) Albus
Defending the kingdom is an important job.
[15:26] (Flashback) Hort
Maybe I should reveal everything.
[15:30] (Flashback) Hort
I want to become a mage.
[15:33] (Flashback) Hort
But what do I do?
[15:36] (Flashback) Hort
I really don't want to graduate.
[15:39] (Flashback) Hort
A three-year special field program?
[15:42] (Flashback) Albus
What do you think?
[15:45] (Flashback) Hort
I-I'll do it!
[15:49] (Flashback) Hort
Please let me participate!
[15:53] Hort
I was so happy.
[15:54] Hort
I could still study magic!
[15:57] Hort
I'd feel like I belonged!
[15:59] Hort
But in that moment, I had a bad feeling.
[16:05] Hort
I didn't know a witch hunter
from the Church would show up.
[16:09] Hort
If something happened,
I would have to betray everyone...
[16:15] Hort
That's why I poisoned that skewer,
[16:18] Hort
so I could eat it and throw
off our travel schedule.
[16:24] (Flashback) Hort
Sayb, that's my skewer!
[16:27] Hort
I hoped Kudo's group would get attacked.
[16:32] Hort
I thought they'd be fine with Kudo there.
[16:36] Hort
I never imagined an Arbiter would come...
that the Tyrant would come.
[16:41] Hort
Kudo was attacked, and even Professor
Los and Sayb are in danger.
[16:46] Hort
In the end, I'm a traitor.
[16:50] Hort
I've been betraying
everyone this whole time.
[16:53] Hort
It's all my fault.
[16:58] Saybil
It's okay, Hort.
[17:03] Saybil
It's not your fault.
[17:07] Hort
How can he smile?
[17:10] Hort
He's not even that good at it.
[17:16] Hort
Now that he knows I'm a traitor...
[17:20] (Flashback) Saybil
Hort, if your friend had still been alive,
I don't think you would've run.
[17:25] Hort
...he should be furious that I deceived him.
[17:33] Hort
He ought...
[17:36] Hort
to hate me.
[17:37] The Tyrant
Hey. What're ya doin'?
[17:42] Hort
I won't run anymore.
[17:45] Hort
Bag Do Glaht!
[17:48] Hort
Kalpa fire, come forth!
[17:49] Hort
Flare and blaze!

What?!

Shit. Gimme that!

Hey, now, missy.
[18:17] The Tyrant
What was that?
[18:19] Hort
N-No way!
[18:21] The Tyrant
A betrayal?
[18:23] The Tyrant
That's the child of a demon for ya.

The Staff of Ludens...
[18:35] The Tyrant
If ya ain't gonna be useful,
[18:38] The Tyrant
then die!
[18:43] Staff of Ludens
Use me.
[18:49] Los
No, Sayb! Don't touch it!
[18:52] Saybil
I'm sorry, Professor Los.
[18:55] Saybil
For being dead weight.
[19:05] The Tyrant
What the hell is this?
[19:08] Los
Ludens, no!
[19:10] Los
Release that boy!
[19:14] Kudo
What's going on?
[19:18] Hort
S-Sayb!
[19:21] Hort
Sayb!
[19:46] Hort
Sayb!
[19:48] Hort
You're alive!
[19:50] Hort
Thank goodness! You're alive!
[19:54] Saybil
Huh? We're all alive...
[19:57] Los
And what is that supposed to mean, pray tell?
[20:00] Los
Thou fool!
[20:02] Los
Using the witch-eating staff is suicide!
[20:05] Los
If thou needest someone to be dead to
learn thy lesson, I can kill someone now.
[20:11] Los
Will that bring thee to thy senses?
[20:14] Los
Each and every one of you,
foolhardy! Foolhardy! Foolhardy!
[20:19] Kudo
I wasn't that reckless, though.
[20:21] Los
Excuse me?
[20:23] Los
Thy overweening refusal of mine escort
[20:26] Los
is what got us into this
mess in the first place!
[20:29] Kudo
F-Face too close!
[20:31] Hort
Professor, calm dow—
[20:32] Los
To be honest, Hort, I never
imagined thou couldst track me.
[20:37] Los
The greater the talent,
the greater the burden of its misuse!
[20:41] Hort
Professor, you're too close!
[20:44] Los
I did not forget about thee, Ludens!
[20:47] Los
How darest thou make eyes at Sayb
despite having me as your pact-holder!
SIGN I'm sorry
[20:53] Los
I sentence thee to a day of being sealed.
[21:01] Saybil
Professor Los,
[21:02] Saybil
how can it be that I am alive?
[21:06] Los
Thy magic exceeded what my
dear Ludens could siphon away.
[21:15] Hort
His magic was...
[21:16] Kudo
...too great for the staff?!
[21:18] Los
Sayb's magic is evidently infinite.
[21:22] Los
No wonder thou struggle
to control thy spells.
[21:25] Los
Honestly.
[21:26] Los
My dear Ludens had solely expended
magic these past 300 years.
[21:31] ---
Now his belly is full again.
[21:35] Los
When will my life come to an end now?
[21:40] Los
Anyway. Kudo, thou wilt come with us.
[21:44] Kudo
Huh? No, I'll be fine on my own.
[21:47] Los
What was that?
[21:49] Kudo
Ah! Your face is too close!
[21:51] Kudo
Fine! I'll come with you!
[21:55] Los
Much better.
[21:57] Kudo
Damn it.
[21:58] Kudo
Guess I better go grab
my tail and reattach it.
[22:03] Kudo
What is it?
[22:05] Hort
Um, well...
[22:07] Hort
Sorry. I used your tail as a spell offering.
[22:16] Kudo
You what?!
[22:19] Hort
My bad.
[22:20] Kudo
Y-You got some nerve...!
[22:22] Los
Oh, come on! Get along, you two!

'Tis good that everyone is unharmed.

[00:04] Hort
Can't sleep?
[00:15] Hort
Hey, um...
[00:18] Hort
You aren't suspicious?
[00:20] Hort
That I might have lured
you to the Arbiter?
[00:27] Saybil
I mean, you didn't, did you?
[00:28] Hort
N-No, but...
[00:33] Hort
Jeez,
[00:34] Hort
Kudo and Professor Los don't
seem to doubt me, either.
[00:37] Hort
You're all too nice!
[00:39] Hort
It makes me worried about
the future of mages!
[00:42] Saybil
I feel like "unconcerned" is
more accurate than "nice."
[00:46] Hort
Be more concerned with other people!
[00:49] Saybil
So you want to be blamed?
[00:51] Hort
No, I just...
[01:02] Hort
Feel right here.
[01:05] Saybil
Is this an antler?
[01:07] Hort
Because of my antlers,
I was called the child of a demon.
[01:12] Hort
I grew up being told to serve the
Church to cleanse my tainted soul.
[01:18] Saybil
That's awful.
[01:20] Hort
But when I studied beastfallen
at the Academy,
[01:24] ---
I realized I might be one.
[01:27] Saybil
A beastfallen is...
[01:28] Hort and Saybil
..."what results when a witch bestows the soul
of a beast upon a warrior who seeks strength."
[01:36] Hort
Yup! That's it!
[01:38] Hort
If the beast warrior and the witch die,
the beast soul has nowhere to go
[01:43] Hort
and enters the witch's bloodline.
[01:46] Hort
Then part-beast, part-human babies
appear among the witch's descendants.
[01:52] Hort
Over time, as the witch blood dilutes,
[01:55] ---
the beast soul's influence gradually weakens,
[01:58] Hort
resulting in an increasingly
human appearance.
[02:01] Hort
Professor Los just told
me that I'm a beastfallen.
[02:06] Hort
I felt so relieved when I heard that.
[02:08] Hort
I was able to feel relieved,
[02:10] Hort
thanks to you.
[02:12] Saybil
Me?
[02:14] Hort
You wouldn't speak ill of Kudo
because he's a beastfallen.
[02:19] Hort
That made me happy.
[02:22] Saybil
I only...
[02:24] Saybil
said how I felt...
[02:38] Hort
I'm going to bed now!
[02:40] Saybil
Okay.
[02:42] Hort
You should go to bed soon, too, Sayb!
[02:46] Los
She would have let you put
the moves on her just now.
[02:51] Saybil
Professor Los?
[02:52] Los
What hast thou so timid?
[02:56] Saybil
I don't really get it.
[02:57] Los
Get what?
[02:59] Saybil
Love and stuff.
[03:03] Los
How quaint!
[03:05] Los
Well, lad, worry, suffer,
and flail thy way forward!
[03:09] Los
The more you three struggle,
[03:11] Los
the more entertaining things are for me!
[03:15] Saybil
That's really warped.
SIGN Episode 3
Beyond the Steam
[04:54] Student 2
I told you it was risky to
get in bed with the Church!
[04:57] Student 1
Please don't expel me...
Please don't expel me...
[04:58] Student 2
Damn it! All for some chump change!
[05:01] Saybil
So those two were leaking info?
[05:04] Kudo
Those jerks.
[05:05] Los
Well, that is that.
[05:10] Los
As for what is next,
[05:12] Los
we shall continue the journey
with just the four of us.
[05:15] Los
But first... Kudo.
[05:17] Los
I expect daily life will be a
struggle with thy hands like that.
[05:21] Los
Let us grow some!
[05:23] Kudo
Don't say that so lightly!
[05:25] Kudo
I ain't some bean sprout in the shade!
[05:27] Saybil
Thou hast healing magic,
dost thou not?
[05:29] Los
To my knowledge, magic ought to
be organized into four chapters.
[05:34] Los
The Chapter of Hunting,
conceived for hunting;
[05:37] Los
the Chapter of Harvest, for agriculture;
[05:39] Los
the Chapter of Capture, for public order;
[05:42] Los
and the Chapter of Protection, for healing.
[05:46] Hort
Impressive! You know so much!
[05:48] Los
I have been passionate about
The Grimoire of Zero for many years.
[05:53] Los
The textbook you three use is a version of
the Grimoire edited to be safer, is it not?
[05:59] Kudo
I can't do it!
[06:00] Kudo
Spells from the Chapter of
Protection use the most magic!
[06:04] Kudo
I'll run out of magic and collapse
before the fingers form.
[06:09] Los
But thou hast Sayb.
[06:12] Hort
Of course!
[06:13] Hort
With Sayb here, we can use
all the magic we want! Wow!
[06:18] Saybil
I see.
[06:19] Los
So? Which of you is best at
the Chapter of Protection?
[06:24] Saybil
Kudo is.
[06:25] Kudo
What?!
[06:25] Kudo
M-My specialties are Hunting and Capture!
[06:29] Saybil
I heard people make fun of
you for being bad at Hunting.
[06:33] Kudo
Don't remember such stupid stuf—
[06:36] Kudo
Damn it! What do I need to do?
[06:39] Los
The most efficient way is to touch a mucous
membrane where blood vessels can be felt.
[06:44] Los
To kiss, for example.
[06:46] Saybil
K—
[06:47] Kudo
Kiss?
[06:50] Hort
No, no, no!
[06:52] Hort
Absolutely not!
[06:56] Los
Through the hands, then.
[06:57] Los
I shall regulate the flow.
[07:00] Los
'Twould not be pretty if this went afoul.
[07:03] Saybil
Huh?
[07:05] Saybil
Excessive magic would cause blood to spray
from every opening in the body, then death.
[07:24] Los
Let us begin.
[07:25] ---
Hey, wai—
[07:26] Kudo
Here?
[07:27] Los
Concentrate.
[07:29] Los
Well? Dost thou feel the flow?
[07:38] Los
Kudo, the incantation.
[07:42] Los
Kudo?
[07:46] Kudo
Hey, it's not just me, right?
[07:49] Kudo
Who's... e-e-embarrassed to chant
incantations in front of people?
[07:55] Saybil
I understand. It is embarrassing.
[07:57] Hort
Don't say that! I'm trying
not to think about it!
[08:01] Los
Ridiculous! Incantations are cool!
[08:04] Los
Now, gird thyself!
[08:07] Kudo
Iea Do Kouha!
[08:09] Kudo
Blood, race forth!
[08:10] Kudo
Become flesh and return!
[08:13] Kudo
Chapter of Protection,
[08:14] Kudo
verse one!
[08:17] Kudo
Chordia!
[08:23] Hort
Amazing! His hand is regenerating!
[08:27] Kudo
Pipe down! I'm concentrating here!
[08:33] Kudo
Grant me power!
[08:35] Kudo
My name is Kudo!
[08:55] Kudo
Whoa! They've regenerated!
[08:57] Customer 1
Wow! He just grew new hands!
[09:00] Customer 2
They built an academy for magic, right?
[09:02] Customer 3
I'd love to go there.
[09:03] Los
Now, bard, sing!
[09:06] Los
A song in praise of mages!
[09:16] Los
Half the people hate mages. Half love them.
[09:20] Los
Acclaim on par with the threat
against your lives awaits you three.
[09:25] Los
You have already experienced
the greatest persecution.
[09:30] Los
'Tis fine to seek abundant praise!
[09:33] Los
Now, we must be off, my ducklings!
[09:37] Los
Stand tall! Hold your heads high!
[09:41] Los
The Kingdom of Wenias's prized
mages are coming through!
[09:52] Zero
I see.
[09:56] Hort
A city!
[10:02] Saybil
This is a large city.
[10:05] Hort
It's much smaller than Plasta.
[10:08] Carriage Driver
Move it! Move it!
[10:09] Carriage Driver
You're in the way!
[10:16] Hort
S-Sayb!
[10:20] Saybil
Huh?
[10:21] Kudo
Yikes.
[10:22] Hort
Are you okay?
[10:26] Los
First up is a bath.
[10:27] Los
My usual inn boasts
large bathing facilities.
[10:31] Hort
B-Bathing facilities?
[10:33] Hort
Would I be able to use them?
[10:36] Saybil
What do you mean?
[10:37] Kudo
Duh. She doesn't want her antlers seen.
[10:43] Los
'Tis fine. I shall make a reservation.
[10:46] Los
Thou canst let thy hair down without worry.
[10:52] Kudo
This is incredible!
[10:56] Saybil
Hey, um, before you were with us,
[11:00] Saybil
we discussed our reasons
for becoming mages...
[11:05] Kudo
To join the Church & Mage Army.
[11:08] Saybil
Do you have to be a mage to join?
[11:11] Kudo
You really don't know anything, do you?
[11:15] Kudo
The Church & Mage Army was originally
called the Church Knights.
[11:19] Kudo
It was a collection of knights who
forsook all their worldly possessions
[11:22] Kudo
just to protect the Church and the people.
[11:26] Kudo
And the Church disliked beastfallen.
[11:30] Kudo
After peace was made with
witches, it was renamed,
[11:33] Kudo
and a beastfallen unit was formed.
[11:36] Kudo
The elite of the elite.
[11:38] Kudo
But, you see, I'm not strong.
[11:41] Kudo
If I want to join the
Church & Mage Army,
[11:44] ---
becoming a mage is my only shot.
[11:47] Saybil
Why do you want to join them?
[11:51] Kudo
Have you heard of the
Dragon Conqueror King?
[11:54] Saybil
Yeah.
[11:55] Kudo
I used to be in a freak show.
[11:58] Kudo
While I was there, we were hit
by the Disasters of the North.
[12:02] Saybil
That stuff that happened six years ago?
[12:06] Kudo
Some crazy witch suddenly
declared she'd destroy the world,
[12:10] Kudo
and the north was brought to ruin in a night.
[12:13] Kudo
Even now the north is crawling with monsters,
and the Church & Mage Army fights them.
[12:18] Kudo
At the time, the Church & Mage Army
was still the Church Knights.
[12:22] Kudo
To the world, I was an embodiment of
corruption. A worthless beastfallen.
[12:28] Kudo
And so, the fact is,
he didn't have to save me.
[12:32] Kudo
Yet he found me and smiled.
[12:37] (Flashback) Dragon Conqueror King
Good. You're alive.
[12:41] Kudo
I wanted to be like him.
[12:44] Kudo
Peace was made with witches and the name
was changed to the Church & Mage Army.
[12:48] Kudo
The Dragon Conqueror King
became their symbol,
[12:51] Kudo
so I made the Army my goal.
[12:55] Saybil
I see. That's kind of amazing.
[12:58] Kudo
What about you?
[13:00] Saybil
Huh?
[13:02] Kudo
Why do you wanna be a mage?
[13:04] ---
You're just gonna leave me hanging?
[13:06] Los
Oh...
[13:07] Saybil
I—
[13:08] Los
What do you think of these baths?
[13:12] Los
Spacious, yes? Lavish, yes?
Incredible, are they not?
[13:17] Saybil
P-P-Professor Los?!
[13:19] Kudo
What's going on in your skull?!
[13:21] Los
I am here to bathe.
[13:22] Kudo
Go to the women's bath!
[13:23] Kudo
Scram, you pervert!
[13:25] Kudo
Pervert?!
[13:27] Los
Why must I be treated as a pervert
for removing my clothes at the baths?
[13:31] Los
Just 100 years ago, 'twas perfectly
normal to bathe in mixed company!
[13:35] Los
I swear, adolescents are so overly sensitive.
[13:39] Los
Does seeing my beautiful
flesh roil your lower halves?
[13:45] Los
Very well! Roil away!
[13:48] Kudo
Who would be roiled by you, moron?!
[13:52] Saybil
H-Hey, wait.
[14:12] Kudo
So sorry! T-Take this!
[14:14] Saybil
Huh?
[14:22] Hort
Ah! A monster!
[14:25] Kudo
Yeah, to be honest,
I think it's a monster, too.
[14:29] Saybil
You know, I think an apology takes
priority over saying stupid stuff.
[14:38] Saybil
The journey from that point on
[14:39] Saybil
went so smoothly that the disastrous
beginning hardly seemed real.
[14:43] Saybil
The inn owners along the road
all knew Professor Los,
[14:47] ---
and they welcomed us as well.
[14:49] Saybil
Professor Los knew where
to find the clearest lakes,
[14:53] ---
the best camping spots,
and the shadiest trees.
[14:56] Los
She even taught us hunting methods for fun.
[15:00] Saybil
And when we encountered
people who needed help,
[15:03] ---
she actively encouraged us to use magic.
[15:08] Saybil
In my three years at the Academy,
[15:11] Saybil
never had I felt so strongly safeguarded.
[15:17] Hort
Professor Los, it's kinda
like you're our mom.
[15:20] Los
Your mom?!
[15:22] Los
What art thou? A needy child?
[15:24] Hort
But if we seek attention,
you'll let us have it.
[15:27] ---
Hey, now.
[15:29] Kudo
Hey, Professor, what are you gonna
do when this escort job is over?
[15:34] Los
I shall go see the Mud-Black Witch.
[15:37] Kudo
The Mud-Black... You mean...?
[15:41] Los
Precisely. The inventor of magic and
the author of The Grimoire of Zero.
[15:47] (Flashback) Albus
But...
[15:47] (Flashback) Albus
...yes.
[15:49] (Flashback) Albus
I could let you meet the
author of the grimoire.
[15:53] Kudo
Then what?
[15:55] Los
We shall talk!
[15:56] Kudo
I don't see the point.
[15:58] Los
Why, it will stave off boredom.
[16:00] Los
I get so bored I cannot stand it.
[16:03] Los
After living for 300 years,
I have grown tired even of breathing.
[16:08] Los
But as long as my dear Ludens exists,
my life shall know no end.
[16:14] Los
Listen, Kudo. A witch who sustains herself
on magic loses even the need for food.
[16:20] Los
Dost thou grasp what that means?
[16:22] Kudo
It's super convenient?
[16:25] Los
Thou art not wrong.
[16:27] Los
Living things spend most of their
time eating and sleeping.
[16:31] Los
However, I shan't die if I do not eat.
[16:34] Los
Therefore, meals are meaningless. As is sleep.
[16:37] Los
Nor do I need to produce offspring.
[16:41] Los
So love and romance too are meaningless.
[16:43] Los
Answer me this. What is it that I have left?
[16:47] Kudo
Huh? Um...
[16:50] Hort
Is it... play?
[16:52] Los
Yes! Precisely!
[16:54] Hort
I'm right?! Woo-hoo!
[16:56] Los
Fun!
[16:58] Los
That is everything to me.
[17:01] Los
New experiences, grave dangers!
[17:04] Los
To me, even the collapse of the north
that plunged the world into fear
[17:08] Los
was entertainment that
made my heart dance.
[17:12] Los
Seeing the pack of demons
trampling humanity,
[17:14] ---
this thought leapt to mind:
[17:17] Los
"Ah, I'm glad I lived to see this!"
[17:21] Kudo
You've got a screw loose.
[17:23] Los
"Normal" changes with the times.
[17:26] Los
Witches who have lived through hundreds
of years and many kinds of "normal"
[17:31] Los
lose their sense of "normal", as well.
[17:35] Saybil
Still,
[17:36] Saybil
I think you're a good person,
Professor Los.
[17:41] Los
A-Art thou trying to make me blush?
[17:45] Los
Anyway,
[17:46] Los
I recently realized something.
[17:48] Los
'Tis fun to spend time with people.
[17:51] Los
No two people are alike.
[17:54] Los
This journey with you
is especially enjoyable,
[17:59] Los
but the journey shall end soon.
[18:02] Los
'Tis not far to our destination.
[18:05] [Laios?]
What're you people doing?
[18:07] [Laios?]
You can't be there!
[18:10] Los
Who art thou?
[18:12] [Laios?]
Hide!
[18:14] ---
Hurry up and run!
[18:15] [Laios?]
If he finds you, you'll be killed!
[18:18] [Laios?]
Hurry! Hurry!
[18:22] [Laios?]
Come. In here.
[18:24] [Laios?]
Go inside! Hurry!
[18:32] [Laios?]
Centipede,
[18:33] [Laios?]
thunder,
[18:34] [Laios?]
eye of bird...
[18:35] [Laios?]
Gate, seal!
[18:44] Los
Didst thou just use sorcery?
[18:47] [Laios?]
Shh! The barrier doesn't block sound.
[18:52] Los
This barrier is constructed so as to
use particular words to activate.
[18:58] ---
What precision.
[19:01] Hort
Tell us. Did a witch of the
village set up this barrier?
[19:07] Mercenary
Hey!
[19:10] Mercenary
Where are you hiding?
[19:13] Mercenary
If you come out now, you won't be punished.
[19:18] Mercenary
If you don't, I'll break the other
kids' legs. Is that what you want?
[19:25] Hort
Stay put.
[19:32] Mercenary
That's strange. I hear heartbeats...
[19:35] Mercenary
right around here.
[19:46] Hort
Don't!
[19:58] Mercenary
Ah. There you are.
[20:00] Hort
What do we do? He jumped out!
[20:03] Kudo
With magic, we can take him!
[20:06] Kudo
Hort, get him! You have Saybil with you.
[20:09] Mercenary
I see. You're part of the field program.
[20:13] Hort
H-How do you know that?
[20:14] Mercenary
Who knows?
[20:16] Mercenary
You should know that you won't
finish an incantation in time.
[20:19] ---
You're too close to me.
[20:21] Mercenary
One of you should've hidden and cast fro—
[20:40] Los
Run!
[20:49] Los
Wilt thou not chase?
[20:50] Mercenary
Don't be ridiculous.
[20:52] ---
The moment I turn my back to you,
my ass can kiss my tail goodbye.
[20:59] Los
Oh, thou wilt retreat?
[21:02] Mercenary
I'm a mercenary. I don't
fight battles I can't win.
[21:06] Los
Even so, there is no reason
for me to let you go.
[21:14] Los
I see.
[21:16] Los
If I kill you, someone
else will act. Is that it?
[21:21] Mercenary
You saved me the trouble of explaining.
[21:23] Mercenary
I just needed the kid to
return to the village.
[21:27] Mercenary
But what about you? They went
running toward the village.
[21:32] Mercenary
Your field program students.
[21:37] Mercenary
The Staff of Ludens, eh? A fine staff.
[21:41] Los
How much dost thou know?
[21:45] Mercenary
Go after your precious students.
[21:49] Mercenary
We'll meet again.
[22:02] [Laios?]
Father, I'm back!
[22:06] Priest
Laios.
[22:08] Priest
I was worried. You just disappeared.
[22:13] [Laios?]
Those people saved me.
[22:16] [Laios?]
They said they're mages!
[22:20] Priest
You three are mages?

No. He is my mercenary.

[00:01] Priest
You three are mages?
[00:04] Priest
From the field program, then.
[00:06] Hort
What?
[00:07] Saybil
You know about that?
[00:08] Priest
Of course the residents of the target village
for the program would know about it.
[00:15] Priest
Are you simpletons?
[00:18] Priest
I beg your pardon.
[00:19] Priest
I held ill will for witches
for a long time. It was reflexive.
[00:24] Kudo
Wh-What a jerk.
[00:26] Hort
Shh!
[00:27] Laios
These people protected me.
[00:30] Priest
Oh, my...
[00:32] Priest
You confronted the mercenary
and did not run?
[00:35] Priest
Somewhat reckless of you.
[00:37] Hort
U-Um, what's going on here?
Who is that beastfallen?
[00:43] Priest
Leave this place.
[00:44] Hort
What?!
[00:46] Priest
That beastfallen is a guard,
[00:49] Priest
who solidifies the witch's
control over this village.
[00:53] Priest
[02:23] Priest
It was two years ago that control
of the village changed hands.
SIGN Episode 4 I'm Not Afraid to Die
[02:28] Priest
The witch who was to be your supervisor
[02:31] Priest
surrendered the village to an invader
without a fight and vanished.
[02:36] Priest
Ever since, no one has been
able to oppose her.
[02:40] Kudo
Wh-What's the deal?
[02:42] Kudo
Does the Headmaster know?
[02:44] Kudo
Wh-What's the point
of sending us here if—
[02:49] Saybil
Of the five special program students,
[02:53] Saybil
three were working
with the anti-witch faction,
[02:56] Saybil
one is a badly-behaved beastfallen,
[03:00] Saybil
and one is a remedial student.
[03:03] Saybil
We're all problems for the Academy.
[03:06] Hort
Y-You mean... she took students
she wanted to be rid of
[03:10] Hort
and sent them to the field program?
[03:11] Hort
Would going back to the Academy now
mean we flunk and get expelled?
[03:17] Hort
It wouldn't, right?
[03:18] Kudo
Why do something so roundabout when—
[03:20] Priest
Not fulfilling one's duties
[03:23] Priest
is a serious issue in large organizations.
[03:26] Kudo
Damn it!
[03:28] Kudo
Then why don't we go notify the Church
& Mage Army and defeat the witch?
[03:31] Priest
Battling a powerful witch
could mean losing 1,000 soldiers.
[03:37] Priest
It's not worth it to them.
[03:39] Kudo
The Church & Mage Army doesn't
operate based on profit and loss!
[03:42] Priest
In these parts, they call
themselves the Church Knights.
[03:47] Priest
The troubles of a witch village
[03:50] Priest
would not move them in the slightest.
[03:53] Los
Why would you trust him?
[03:55] Los
Do you not find him fishy?
[03:58] Los
What proof do you have that this priest
is not in league with that beastfallen?
[04:03] Saybil
Professor Los.
[04:05] Hort
But the father here is blind...
[04:07] Los
What does that matter?
[04:09] Los
I look like no more than
an adorable young girl,
[04:12] Los
but in fact I am a renowned
[04:15] Los
witch.
[04:16] Los
In the absence of sufficient
reason for trust,
[04:19] Los
I maintain skepticism.
[04:22] Priest
A sudden appearance
followed swiftly by rudeness.
[04:26] Los
That beastfallen knew
I was the students' escort.
[04:32] Los
'Tis strange, is it not?
[04:34] Los
What aspect of mine adorable visage
would have suggested that?
[04:39] Los
But what if the Arbiter who attacked us
ran back to the Church and provided intel?
[04:45] Los
And then a priest shared that information
from the Church with the witch?
[04:51] Priest
I see. Suspicious indeed.
[04:53] Priest
If you encounter someone so suspicious,
[04:56] Priest
wouldn't the effective strategy
be to kill them immediately?
[04:59] Los
'Twould be simple to kill them.
[05:01] Los
However, I am fond of careful
scrutiny of the circumstances.
[05:05] Los
If thou insist thou art not our enemy,
[05:08] Los
show us around the village.
[05:11] Los
I should like to see
the villagers' reactions.
[05:14] Priest
As you please.
[05:19] Laios
Daddy!
[05:23] Uls
Laios!
[05:25] Uls
You're safe. I was so worried!
[05:28] Priest
It's all right. He is unharmed, Uls.
[05:32] Uls
Father.
[05:33] Uls
Who are these kids?
[05:35] Priest
Field program students, apparently.
They protected Laios from the mercenary.
[05:40] Saybil
This is the field program village...
[05:43] Uls
Thank you for bringing my boy back.
[05:47] Uls
Father, is the danger to the village past?
[05:49] Priest
Yes.
[05:51] Priest
However, these folks appear to
suspect me of working for the witch.
[05:56] Uls
Yeah, you do seem fishy.
[06:00] Uls
Still, that's quite some
bad luck you guys have.
[06:03] Uls
But don't lose heart!
[06:05] Uls
Oh, you must be tired from your journey.
[06:08] Uls
Even if you're going back,
you should rest for the night.
[06:12] Laios
And that's the school over there!
[06:14] Hort
Wow, you have a school.
[06:17] Uls
We take care of the orphaned
kids as a village.
[06:21] Laios
I'm the only kid who was
born in the village.
[06:24] Laios
When I was born,
the nice witch lady did a spell
[06:28] Laios
so everyone would like me!
[06:30] Laios
She told me so.
[06:32] Laios
That's why I'm the most
precious child in the village!
[06:36] Laios
Oh, um,
[06:38] Laios
I'm talking about the previous witch lady.
[06:42] Laios
Remember the barrier in the forest?
She made that, too!
[06:46] Los
'Twas a marvelous barrier.
[06:48] Uls
Yes. She was the pride of the village.
[06:51] Kudo
If that witch was so great,
[06:53] Kudo
how come she fled without fighting?
[06:56] Hort
Hey!
[06:57] Uls
I just don't know. She'd been with us
since the founding of the village.
[07:04] Los
'Tis very quiet around here.
[07:07] Uls
We hardly ever get any
strangers visiting, so...
[07:11] Uls
Here we are. This is it.
[07:17] Kudo
Wh-What are those?
[07:20] Uls
Dolls.
[07:21] Uls
One for each person who used to live here.
[07:25] Hort
Used to live here?
[07:28] Uls
Well...
[07:30] Uls
The witch and the mercenary
aren't bad people,
[07:33] Uls
but they don't tolerate escape.
[07:36] Uls
The sight of those dolls stops
people from trying to run.
[07:39] Uls
Except for the kids who don't
remember two years ago.
[07:43] Uls
But life ain't that bad here.
[07:45] Uls
If ya follow the rules,
it's calm and peaceful.
[07:51] Laios
See ya later!
[07:54] Los
I see...
[07:56] Los
Yes.
[08:03] Los
I see...
[08:06] Los
Very well!
[08:09] Los
Let us kill the witch.
[08:13] Los
And Albus, while we're at it.
[08:15] Kudo
What now?!
[08:16] Hort
P-Professor?!
[08:18] Hort
Killing the Headmaster won't solve anything!
[08:22] Los
But 'tis infuriating!
[08:24] Los
That damned Albus!
[08:25] Los
She duped not only you three,
[08:27] Los
but me as well!
[08:30] Hort
Oh, right. If there's no supervising witch,
your job can't end.
[08:36] Los
Precisely.
[08:38] Los
So...
[08:42] Los
The more I think about it,
the more it infuriates me!
[08:44] Los
The lass made a total fool of me!
[08:48] Los
Listen up, my ducklings!
[08:50] Los
I swear to complete my job!
[08:53] Los
I'll teach her
[08:55] Los
what happens if thou
underestimate the Dawn Witch!
[09:05] Los
My goodness. Youngsters these days.
[09:07] Los
Utterly lacking in passion and drive.
[09:10] Kudo
I'm pissed, too.
But there's nothing I can do.
[09:14] Hort
If we go back to Wenias, maybe the
Church & Mage Army will help us!
[09:20] Saybil
But...
[09:22] Saybil
If we do that, the village
is sure to become a battlefield.
[09:27] Saybil
I'm not sure it's right to do that
to the village just so we can graduate.
[09:33] Hort
Th-That's...
[09:35] Saybil
Which is why I feel we
should do this on our own.
[09:39] Hort
What?
[09:41] Saybil
The fact that she let us into
the village means she isn't wary of us.
[09:45] Saybil
With me around,
you two can cast without limit.
[09:49] Saybil
And we even have Professor Los!
[09:51] Saybil
And if I grab the Staff of Ludens again,
it can at least serve as a distraction—
[09:55] Kudo
That's enough!
[10:00] Kudo
The beastfallen in the forest
has clearly seen war.
[10:04] Kudo
Imagine the sort of witch he works for.
[10:06] Kudo
You're telling us to die in a fight
we have no shot at winning!
[10:11] Hort
C-Calm down! That's not what Sayb meant.
[10:15] Kudo
Who cares! It's what he said!
[10:19] Saybil
So we just sit back and get expelled?
[10:22] Saybil
If that happens, we'll have
our memories erased.
[10:25] Saybil
Including all memory of this journey,
and of everyone else.
[10:29] Saybil
Then I'll be empty.
[10:33] Kudo
You'd die to avoid starting over?
[10:37] Saybil
I realized something
[10:39] Saybil
when we were attacked by the Arbiter
and I decided to use the Staff of Ludens.
[10:50] Saybil
I'm not afraid to die.
[10:57] Hort
But just the thought scares me.
[11:00] Saybil
I'm sorry. Of course it does.
[11:03] Saybil
You and Kudo can leave
the village and wait, then.
[11:08] Hort
What are you talking about?
[11:13] Hort
I was telling you
[11:15] Hort
that I don't want you to die!
[11:18] Saybil
Huh? Why?
[11:25] Saybil
Huh? Um...
[11:29] Saybil
Hort!
[11:30] Los
What is the point of chasing after her?
[11:33] Saybil
To apologize, of course.
[11:35] Los
"I don't know what I did,
but I'll just apologize." Is that it?
[11:40] Los
'Tis an awful kind of apology.
[11:43] Los
Excessively low regard for thyself
can at times hurt others.
[11:48] Saybil
Kudo, educate this numbskull
about why Hort cried.
[11:55] Kudo
It's because you're friends.
[11:58] Saybil
What?
[11:59] Kudo
Hort just doesn't want her
friend to die like a dog.
[12:03] Kudo
But you couldn't see why she would be sad.
[12:08] Saybil
Friends...
[12:13] Saybil
I don't want Hort to die, either.
[12:16] Saybil
I'm going to apologize!
[12:20] Los
Ah, youth.
[12:25] Hort
What kind of mage am I?
[12:28] Hort
This just screams "one of
the Church's faithful."
[12:32] Lilly
Is that bad?
[12:38] Hort
D-Do you live here?
[12:42] Lilly
I'm Lilly. I was cleaning.
[12:45] Hort
O-Oh, I see. I'm sorry for interrupting.
[12:50] Hort
Th-There's no rain.
Why are you dressed like that?
[12:53] Lilly
Um, I'm supposed to stay out of sight.
[12:57] Lilly
But... you were crying.
[12:59] Hort
Oh, um, I...
[13:03] Lilly
Are you sad?
[13:04] Hort
No, no. I just had a fight with a friend.
[13:09] Lilly
Oh.
[13:11] Lilly
Um, it's okay for a mage
to follow the Church.
[13:16] Lilly
The father says that all the time.
[13:21] Hort
Hey, Lilly, do you love the father?
[13:25] Lilly
Huh?
[13:26] Lilly
H-How did you know?
[13:28] Priest
Lilly.
[13:32] Hort
Father...
[13:35] Kudo
Hey, do we have a shot?
[13:38] Los
I couldn't say.
[13:39] Kudo
Then what's the point of fighting?
[13:42] Los
To live.
[13:45] Los
My purpose in life is entertainment.
[13:47] Los
And right now, mine entertainment
[13:50] Los
is you three!
[13:52] Los
These past few days, I have completely
inhabited the role of teacher.
[13:57] Los
The ducklings I have protected and guided
[14:01] Los
are about to be cruelly
brought crashing down to earth.
[14:04] Los
I detest simplistic tragedies.
[14:07] Los
I shan't allow anyone to trample upon
my beloved students' denouement.
[14:14] Los
If it is to obtain the ending I desire,
[14:18] Los
then I shall be willing to die.
[14:26] Priest
My goodness. I told her not to come out.
[14:30] Hort
She comforted me because I was crying.
[14:34] Hort
So please, don't scold her.
[14:37] Priest
Are you in a position to worry about others?
[14:40] Hort
Huh?
[14:42] Priest
I heard you had a fight with a friend.
[14:44] Hort
Y-You heard that?
[14:47] Priest
I have excellent hearing.
[14:50] Hort
It's not a big deal.
[14:53] Hort
I just...
[14:57] Hort
Of course. I...
[14:59] Hort
I should have used my words.
[15:03] Hort
Sayb just didn't understand.
I didn't have to get so upset.
[15:08] Hort
I'm sure they're all worried about me.
[15:10] Hort
I'll just use my words.
[15:12] Hort
I better head back now.
[15:16] Hort
Huh?
[15:16] Priest
How utterly careless of you.
[15:19] Priest
Going off alone in a village
controlled by a witch.
[15:25] Hort
His cane...
[15:27] Hort
That symbol...
[15:29] Hort
Dia Ignis!
[15:31] Priest
Speaking of fights,
[15:33] Priest
I heard you betrayed the Church.
[15:37] Priest
I don't blame you.
[15:40] Priest
You attended a mage academy
for four whole years.
[15:44] Priest
Of course it had an effect on you.
[15:47] Priest
Furthermore, the Tyrant's barbaric
nature is difficult to condone.
[15:54] Hort
I-I can't move!
[15:57] Priest
Let's have a little conversation.
[16:06] Hort
S-Somebody!
[16:09] Priest
Shh. Quiet.
[16:12] Priest
If your heart is righteous,
[16:16] Priest
then no one will be hurt.
[16:20] Los
Thou art unable to find Hort?
[16:23] Saybil
Correct. I've looked everywhere.
[16:25] Los
Did any of the villagers see anything?
[16:31] Los
There's no other option.
We'll track her magic.
[16:35] Kudo
Are you sure this is the right way?
[16:37] Los
I can track any mage I have met.
[16:41] Kudo
But why would she be in this forest?
[16:45] Los
It appears she must be in there.
[16:49] Kudo
A cave?!
[16:52] Los
Wow!
[16:53] Los
The cave is lit up! How convenient!
[16:56] Saybil
Amazing!
[16:58] Saybil
So you can cast Solm
with no incantation, too.
[17:01] Kudo
Of course I can!
[17:02] Kudo
One day, I'll be able to cast any spell
without doing the incantation.
[17:10] Saybil
Professor Los?
[17:13] Los
Blood.
[17:15] Los
And the magical traces I sense
from further in don't belong to Hort alone.
[17:22] Kudo
Shit, this is a trap! Let's retreat!
[17:26] Los
No, this is perfect.
[17:27] Kudo
What?!
[17:27] Saybil
Huh?
[17:29] Los
If the village's ruler
is granting us an audience,
[17:33] Los
then let's graciously
accept the offer, shall we?
[17:36] Kudo
Are you stupid?! We'll be killed!
[17:39] Los
A battle with a witch
[17:41] Los
is all about evading
the traps she has laid out.
[17:45] Los
My dear Ludens and
I shall discern those traps.
[17:49] Kudo
That still won't change the fact
we're at a disadvantage!
[17:53] Los
The Church & Magic Army does
not fear fighting witches.
[17:57] Los
The symbol of that army is
[18:00] Los
the king of a lost nation destroyed by a dragon,
[18:03] Los
the Dragon Conqueror King.
[18:04] Los
He found victory
in a seemingly hopeless fight
[18:07] Los
and became the master of a dragon.
[18:10] Los
Wilt thou be a daring and resolute
soldier or a fleeing civilian?
[18:15] Los
The choice is thine.
[18:21] Kudo
This is stupid!
[18:22] Kudo
I ain't goin' along with this!
[18:24] Kudo
I'm not as strong
as the Dragon Conqueror King
[18:26] Kudo
and charging to an obvious
death isn't bravery!
[18:30] Kudo
I don't care if I'll be expelled!
[18:32] Saybil
Kudo!
[18:34] Los
It seems I didn't push hard enough.
[18:37] Los
Sayb, light, please.
[18:45] ---
Damn it!
[18:46] Mercenary
You abandoned them?
[18:51] Kudo
Y-You...
[18:53] Mercenary
If you cut ties with them,
[18:56] Mercenary
then how about joining me?
[18:59] Mercenary
You'll be able to learn magic.
[19:02] Kudo
What?
[19:04] Saybil
Chapter of Harvest, verse one, Solm!
[19:07] Saybil
Grant me power!
[19:09] Saybil
My name is Saybil!
[19:16] Los
What the devil was that? An explosion?!
[19:19] Saybil
S-Sorry, Professor.
[19:22] Los
Thou hast not the least bit of control.
[19:25] Saybil
Sorry.
[19:27] Los
If I could use magic...
[19:31] Los
I believe I've had a great idea.
[19:36] Mercenary
Real witches can create magic.
[19:40] Mercenary
That includes my employer.
[19:42] Kudo
I-I only want to join
the Church & Mage Army.
[19:46] Kudo
There's no point learning
magic if I'm expelled.
[19:50] Mercenary
I can get you into the Army.
[19:52] Kudo
What?!
[19:53] Kudo
Is that true, old man?
[19:55] Mercenary
"Old man?"
[19:57] Mercenary
If you accept the conditions, I'll enter
into a witch's blood contract with you.
[20:07] Mercenary
Whaddya say?
[20:09] Kudo
Where's Hort?
[20:10] Mercenary
Huh?
[20:11] Kudo
What did you do with Hort?
[20:13] Mercenary
Hort?
[20:15] Mercenary
Oh, the girl with the hat.
[20:19] Mercenary
I killed and ate her.
[20:22] Mercenary
She tasted great.
[20:24] Mercenary
The flesh of young women is so tender.
[20:32] Kudo
You cur!
[20:34] Kudo
Over my dead body!
[20:36] Mercenary
Fine. Get lost, then.
[20:39] Mercenary
It's a pain, but I gotta kill your friends.
[20:44] Kudo
Hold it!
[20:48] Kudo
You're not going anywhere! You hear me?
[20:53] Mercenary
I like your spunk. You pass.
[20:56] Mercenary
Or so I'd like to say,
[20:59] Mercenary
but first let's see what you've got!
[21:03] Saybil
There's nothing here.
[21:06] Saybil
No traps.
[21:07] Los
It seems not.
[21:08] Los
'Tis conciliation.
[21:11] Los
An apprentice mage with limitless magic.
[21:14] Los
Any witch would want thee,
[21:17] Los
including the witch
of this village, I dare say.
[21:21] Saybil
The witch wants me?
[21:31] Los
Sayb!
[21:33] Saybil
I-I'm fine.
[21:36] Saybil
I think I just remembered something.
[21:40] Los
Listen, Sayb.
[21:43] Los
None would blame thee
if thou turnst back.
[21:46] Saybil
What?
[21:48] Los
There is no shame in running.
[21:50] Los
Thou value thine own life too lightly.
[21:54] Los
Wouldst thou try to save Hort alone,
even if I were against it?
[22:01] Saybil
I would.
[22:03] Los
Why?
[22:06] Saybil
Hort is a... f-friend. That's why.
[22:14] Los
Ah, friendship.
[22:17] Los
I, too, had that once.
[22:20] Saybil
Y-You are, too, Professor.
[22:27] Saybil
I would try to save you, as well.
Without question.
[22:35] Los
My goodness!
[22:37] Los
Thou art certainly a sweet-talker!
[22:39] Saybil
Professor Los.
[22:41] Los
There are people who care for thee.
[22:43] Los
There are people thou carest for.
[22:46] Los
Never forget that.
[23:00] Los
Sayb!
[23:04] Los
Ludens!
[23:14] Los
Ow!
[23:16] Los
That was right in the stomach!
[23:17] Priest
I warned you, didn't I?
[23:21] Priest
That if you have suspicions,
[23:24] Priest
you should kill me.
[23:55] Hort
What's going on?
[23:56] Hort
Did I die? Tell me! Tell me!

I let my mercenary have her.
[03:12] Zero
In order to recover you from Albus,
[03:16] Zero
I have gone to great lengths,
[03:18] Zero
including taking this village, all for you.
[03:21] Saybil
Because of me...
[03:24] Saybil
It's my fault...
[03:37] Zero
I shall love you.
[03:40] Zero
I shall guide you.
[03:43] Zero
If you are with me, no one
will be able to hurt you.
[03:48] Zero
Young man, come.
[03:51] Zero
I shall take you to a world befitting of you.
[03:57] Saybil
How are they not befitting?
[04:04] Saybil
Take Hort.
[04:06] Saybil
She was nice to me when there
was nothing special about me.
[04:09] Saybil
She said the thought of me dying scared her.
[04:13] Saybil
And Kudo!
[04:14] Saybil
He was honest and
treated everyone the same.
[04:18] Saybil
He had the courage not to change
his blunt disposition for anyone.
[04:22] Saybil
Professor Los, too.
[04:25] Saybil
She cast her treasured staff away for us!
[04:29] Saybil
She gladly taught us
anything we needed to know.
[04:34] Saybil
You were my only memory.
[04:38] Saybil
But of all my memories,
[04:40] Saybil
the one I could most do without...
[04:43] Saybil
is you!
[04:48] Zero
You rebuff me? A witch as great as I?
[04:53] Saybil
I'll decide who's worthwhile.
[04:58] Saybil
And you
[05:00] Saybil
don't qualify!
[05:06] Saybil
If I pour all my magic into a spell,
[05:09] Saybil
I might manage to save
Professor Los at least.
[05:18] Saybil
Bag Do Gla—
[05:31] Saybil
Wh-What?
[05:49] Los
I have not felt this in ages.
[05:52] Los
My whole body is surging with magical energy!
[05:58] Saybil
Professor... Los...
[06:00] Los
Out-of-control casting?
[06:02] Los
Self-destructive acts are foolhardy.
[06:04] Los
I know I have taught thee that.
[06:06] Zero
So you siphoned magical power from him.
[06:10] Zero
Still, long before you complete any sorcery,
[06:13] Zero
I can cast magic.
[06:16] Los
So thou thinkest.
[06:19] Los
Bag Do Glaht!
[06:22] Los
Kalpa fire, come forth!
[06:23] Los
Flare and blaze!
[06:26] Saybil
Professor Los? You can cast magic?
[06:28] Los
I can cast this level of spell
by imitating what I saw.
[06:32] Los
Since I'm a genius.
[06:35] Los
Chapter of Hunting, final verse!
[06:37] Los
Flagis!
[06:38] Los
Grant me power!
[06:40] Los
My name is Loux Krystas!
[06:49] Zero
Amusing.
[06:52] Zero
I deny your magic.
[06:54] Zero
Grant me power,
[06:56] Zero
for I am Zero.
[07:03] Zero
Watch your ego, Dawn Witch.
[07:05] Zero
That spell is mine.
[07:07] Zero
It is my magic.
[07:09] Zero
It is my wisdom and my power.
[07:13] Zero
To wield it against me is laughable.
[07:16] Zero
This art you call magic which
substitutes for sorcery,
[07:21] Zero
it all began with The Grimoire of Zero.
[07:24] Zero
I am that Zero.
[07:27] Zero
I wrote The Grimoire of Zero.
[07:31] Saybil
This is what she meant.
[07:34] (Flashback) Albus
I could let you meet the
author of the grimoire.
[07:38] Saybil
We never stood a chance of winning.
[07:45] Zero
I am she who discerns meaning
from meaninglessness,
[07:49] Zero
who creates something from nothing:
the Mud-Black Witch!
[08:09] Saybil
Huh?
[08:09] Saybil
Wh-What is this?
[08:11] Zero
And, starting today,
[08:14] Zero
I am also the witch who will
supervise you in the field program.
[08:19] Zero
By the way, the textbook
you use at the Academy,
[08:23] Zero
The Grimoire of Beginning From Zero?
I wrote that as well.
[08:27] Saybil
Uh... Um...
[08:29] Zero
Well done.
[08:31] Zero
I welcome you, young mage.
[08:36] Saybil
U-Um...
[08:43] Los
Didst thou see that, Sayb?
[08:45] Los
A real, live magic denial!
[08:49] Los
I am so moved!
[08:51] Los
My 300 years alive
have not been for nothing!
[08:55] Los
Pull it together! Look alive!
[09:00] Saybil
'Twas a test, a test!
[09:01] Los
Thou hast passed!
[09:03] Saybil
I... passed?
[09:05] Los
Precisely!
[09:06] Hort
Sayb!
[09:10] Hort
Congrats, Sayb!
[09:13] Saybil
Hort!
[09:19] Saybil
Hort, you're okay.
[09:23] Hort
If you had agreed to join Zero,
[09:26] ---
you would've been expelled on the spot.
[09:28] Saybil
What?
[09:30] Hort
Everyone in the village was part of it.
[09:32] ---
They were all testing us.
[09:35] Hort
The father tested me.
[09:37] Hort
He told me to pretend to be on your side
[09:39] Hort
and keep providing information
to the anti-witch faction.
[09:43] Hort
But the moment I spat in his face,
[09:48] Hort
he passed me!
[09:50] Hort
That priest is a pervert for sure.
[09:54] Priest
Who are you calling a pervert?
[09:56] Priest
Allow me to return this.
[09:58] Los
My dear Ludens!
[10:01] Los
I missed thee!
[10:01] Priest
You figured out that this
was a test, didn't you?
[10:06] Los
Of course I did.
[10:09] Los
The supposed house of a family that
died wretched deaths two years ago
[10:12] Los
was clean and had kitchen utensils,
water, and tea leaves to boot!
[10:18] Los
And the hanging dolls
showed not a sign of wear.
[10:22] Los
It was ridiculous.
[10:23] Hort
Now that you mention it...
[10:25] Priest
I told you the tea leaves were too much.
[10:28] Zero
But that was my special blend for relieving
the exhaustion of a long journey.
[10:35] Mercenary
Look who else passed.
[10:39] Kudo
Y-You guys!
[10:43] Saybil and Hort
Kudo!
[10:45] Kudo
Thank goodness.
[10:47] Kudo
You're both all right.
[10:50] Kudo
I was tested, too.
[10:52] Kudo
That guy told me he ate Holt.
[10:56] Mercenary
Direct your complaints to the priest.
He wrote the script!
[11:00] Priest
It was necessary to stir up the students'
rage, fear, and sense of inferiority.
[11:07] Zero
Dawn Witch Loux Krystas,
[11:10] Zero
though it was part of a test,
I ask your forgiveness for the insults.
[11:15] Los
Whatever dost thou mean?
[11:18] Los
As a pretender, I'm afraid
my memory is lackluster.
[11:34] Holdem
Did you just go into labor?
[11:36] Holdem
You weren't hiding a pregnancy
from me, were you?
[11:39] Holdem
Ow!
[11:40] Albus
Of course not, third-rate servant!
[11:43] Albus
I just received word from
Zero via witch's letter.
[11:47] Albus
The three remaining students
I sent to her all passed!
[11:52] Hort
All?
[11:54] Holdem
But not a single person passed last year.
[11:57] Albus
It's a remarkable feat!
[11:58] Albus
When I heard they were
attacked by an Arbiter,
[12:01] Albus
I was uncertain about what I should do.
[12:04] Albus
It seems I was right to believe in them.
[12:07] Holdem
Well, being in mortal danger together
probably cultivated some solidarity.
[12:12] Albus
Yeah, you may be onto something there.
[12:16] Albus
It feels odd,
[12:18] Albus
but if that's the case, I owe
the Arbiter my gratitude.
[12:22] Albus
Very well. I'll throw him a bone.
SIGN Wanted
[12:26] Albus
And, if we keep him alive,
we may find a use for him.
SIGN Dead or Alive
[12:31] Albus
Distribute this to all the mages, the Church
& Mage Army, and bounty hunters as well.
SIGN Wanted Alive
SIGN Dead or Alive
[12:38] Albus
He hurt my students.
[12:41] Albus
I won't let him get off scot-free.
[12:45] Uls
Now, then, raise a glass to the
first members of the field program!
[12:50] Uls
Cheers!
[12:54] Kudo
Where'd all these people spring up from?
[12:57] Zero
To avoid any accidental bean-spilling,
[12:59] Zero
they were all holed up at home
until the end of the test.
[13:03] Los
The village was littered
with beans to find, though.
[13:07] Zero
No need to be so harsh, Dawn Witch.
[13:11] Zero
Allow me to congratulate you again.
[13:14] Zero
We wholeheartedly sought your expulsion,
[13:18] Zero
but you prevailed.
[13:20] Hort
Um, question! Question!
[13:22] Hort
Why did you seek to expel us?
[13:26] Zero
Because your talent is too great.
[13:28] Kudo; Hort; & Saybil
Huh?
[13:29] Zero
If an exceptional mage is
swayed to the path of evil,
[13:32] Zero
it could mean the end of the world.
[13:35] Zero
We opted to test students
with great potential
[13:38] Zero
to see if they are virtuous,
[13:42] Zero
and expel them if they fail.
[13:47] Zero
The other two students were selected
to obtain evidence of their treachery.
[13:52] Zero
But you three were different.
[13:55] Zero
If any of you sought to destroy the world,
[13:58] Zero
the devastation might be greater
than what we've seen in the north.
[14:01] Hort
S-Surely you're exaggerating.
[14:05] Zero
Young antlered woman,
[14:07] Zero
your talent equals that
of the Mooncaller Witch.
[14:11] Zero
In other words,
the Headmaster of the Academy.
[14:14] Zero
In 10 years' time, you should have the power
to lay waste to a thousand troops in seconds.
[14:21] Hort
I-I should?
[14:23] Zero
Young lizard man, your
resourcefulness will be fearsome.
[14:27] Zero
Your talent for the Chapter of Protection,
[14:29] Kudo
if you continue to develop it,
[14:31] ---
will make you a name as the Immortal Mage.
[14:35] Kudo
Me?
[14:37] Zero
And limitless magic...
[14:41] Zero
Not even I can see your pinnacle.
[14:44] Zero
For the next several hundred years,
[14:45] ---
you may be the most long-lived mage.
[14:49] Zero
Furthermore, living a long life means
[14:52] Zero
endless time to sharpen your techniques.
[14:56] Zero
Right now, you are this sphere.
[14:58] Zero
However, in time,
[15:00] Zero
your power might pierce anything.
[15:03] Zero
Staggering, isn't it?
[15:05] Zero
I, too, am staggered
[15:07] Zero
by the force of this possibility.
[15:10] Saybil
Possibility...
[15:12] Saybil
So then... things won't
necessarily turn out that way.
[15:16] Zero
Indeed.
[15:17] Zero
If you neglect your training
and spend your days loafing,
[15:21] Zero
I can't even imagine what
lackadaisical mages you'll be.
[15:25] Zero
That is a staggering prospect itself.
[15:29] Zero
Now, then, let's discuss the field program.
[15:32] Zero
You will each have a store.
[15:35] Saybil
A store?
[15:36] Zero
Yes.
[15:37] Zero
So that it's easy for the
villagers to seek your help.
[15:41] Zero
By the way, I operate a paltry magic
shop on the outskirts of town.
[15:50] Zero
I shall give you three days.
[15:52] Zero
Use that time to think about what
kind of store you want to op—
[15:55] Mercenary
Dig in!
[15:57] Mercenary
You'll think better after ya eat!
[16:01] Mercenary
There!
[16:02] Mercenary
Don't be shy! I'll keep it comin'.
[16:06] Kudo
This isn't... human meat, is it?
[16:09] Mercenary
Don't be silly.
[16:11] Mercenary
Look at the psychological wound you've
inflicted on these poor kids, killer priest.
[16:17] Saybil
"Killer priest?"
[16:20] Priest
You see, I used to be
an Arbiter in Dia Ignis.
[16:25] Mercenary
And just so ya know, he can see.
[16:28] Kudo; Hort; & Saybil
What?!
[16:30] Saybil
Then why do you wear that over your eyes?
[16:33] Hort
For fashion?
[16:34] Hort
Is it fashion?
[16:36] Priest
Light hurts my eyes.
[16:39] Priest
I can only remove this at night.
[16:42] Hort
So it's not fashion.
[16:44] Hort
Oh, is the little girl from the church here?
[16:48] Priest
There was no little girl at the church.
[16:51] Hort
But...
[16:52] Priest
If you mean Lilly, she's over 20 years old.
[16:56] Hort
No way! But she's smaller than me!
[17:00] Priest
She has a timid personality and
doesn't like large groups of people.
[17:05] Priest
I'll introduce you one of these days.
[17:08] Saybil
Um, Professor Zero...
[17:12] Saybil
Did you take me to the Academy?
[17:17] Zero
You don't remember?
[17:20] Zero
It's all right if you don't.
[17:23] Zero
If necessary, you'll remember
when you need to.
[17:28] Hort
A store, huh...
[17:31] Kudo
Some kind of magic store, too.
[17:34] Saybil
Oh, that reminds me. Where's Professor Los?
[17:37] Hort
She said something about visiting
Professor Zero's store.
[17:41] Hort
She wants to read the books
Professor Zero has written.
[17:45] Kudo
H-Hey, you two! Look up there!
[17:50] Hort
Is that...?
[17:54] Saybil
Kudo.
[18:10] Saybil
That's...
[18:15] Kudo
The Dragon Conqueror King!
[18:17] Dragon Conqueror King
Saybil, Hort, and Kudo. Are they here?
[18:22] Hort
Yes! Right here!
[18:25] Dragon Conqueror King
The dispatches from the Academy.
[18:28] Saybil
Th-Thank you.
[18:31] Zero
Dragon Conqueror King, it's been a while.
[18:34] Mercenary
Hey, Heath. You've gotten big.
[18:37] Dragon Conqueror King
I've told you not to call
me "Dragon Conqueror King."
[18:39] Zero
Loosen up. Your name is known worldwide.
[18:44] Dragon Conqueror King
It's overblown.
[18:46] Dragon Conqueror King
In reality, I'm just here
to handle little errands.
[18:51] Zero
That just shows how
important the letters are.
[18:58] Saybil
"As field program students,
[19:00] Saybil
you are hereby assigned to the witch village.
[19:03] Saybil
All restrictions on magic are lifted."
[19:08] Dragon Conqueror King
Students that haven't even graduated
are being authorized to use all magic?
[19:13] Dragon Conqueror King
That's essentially full authorization
to engage in battle.
[19:18] Zero
Naturally, the anti-witch faction
would have things to say.
[19:21] Zero
You might call these
[19:22] Zero
top secret dispatches.
[19:24] Zero
Quite befitting of delivery by dragon.
[19:28] Kudo
Excuse me!
[19:30] Kudo
I, um...
[19:33] Kudo
A long time ago, you saved me!
[19:37] Dragon Conqueror King
You're the beastfallen who
was at the freak show.
[19:40] Kudo
Y-You remember?
[19:43] Dragon Conqueror King
My heart isn't so dead as
to forget that atrocity.
[19:48] Dragon Conqueror King
I believe you said you wanted
to join the Church & Mage Army.
[19:51] Kudo
If I become a mage,
do you think I could get in?
[19:58] Dragon Conqueror King
Who knows?
[20:01] Dragon Conqueror King
I'm not in charge of recruitment.
[20:04] Dragon Conqueror King
But...
[20:06] Dragon Conqueror King
You seem like you'd be an asset in my squad.
[20:15] Dragon Conqueror King
I have great expectations.
[20:17] Kudo
Th-Thank you!
[20:19] Los
Why?
[20:20] Los
How come thou didst not call me?
[20:23] Los
I wanna see a dragon up close!
I wanna pet it!
[20:27] Los
I wanna ride it, if it'd let me!
[20:30] Saybil
Well, I'm sure there'll be another chance.
[20:30] Los
I wanna ride the dragon! I wanna!
[20:34] Los
But I might not be in the village then!
[20:40] Los
What is it?
[20:42] Los
What's wrong?
[20:44] Hort
So you're leaving after all.
[20:46] Kudo
I told you. She was just our escort.
[20:51] Los
Of course, I shall indeed set out
again in search of entertainment.
[20:55] Los
'Tis my way of life.
[21:03] Los
But until I've read all the books here,
[21:05] Los
I intend to remain in the village.
[21:09] Los
In fact...
[21:10] Los
I'd say it'll take three years.
[21:12] Los
But should I grow bored, I'll leave at once.
[21:15] Los
Study!
[21:17] Los
I am fond of growth!
[21:18] Los
I am fond of change!
[21:20] Los
As long as you three aim higher,
I shall lend a hand.
[21:24] Los
For that is my entertainment!
[21:27] Saybil
Professor Los...
[21:32] Los
'Tis too tight!
[21:36] Los
Enough, you bunch of big babies!
[21:41] Los
You're staying, Dawn Witch?
[21:43] Los
I should not wish to hear that a witch has
sunk her fangs into my precious ducklings.
[21:52] Zero
Fangs?
[21:53] Los
Thou art suffering magical depletion.
[21:57] ---
And a severe case at that.
[22:01] Zero
So you can tell.
[22:03] Los
Sayb would be a godsend to
a witch in thy condition.
[22:09] Zero
Your suspicions are justified.
[22:12] Zero
If you're staying, I should explain.
[22:16] Zero
The young man was born
with that peculiar trait.
[22:19] Zero
Thus, as you fear might happen now,
[22:22] Zero
he was once attacked by
a witch seeking power.
[22:27] Zero
The young man had his mother
killed before his eyes,
[22:30] ---
and the witch who sought power
[22:33] Zero
perished by magical overload.
[22:35] Zero
As a result, he sealed his own memories away.
[22:40] Zero
With no memories, he experienced
all manner of oppression
[22:44] ---
as practically a slave.
[22:48] Zero
By placing himself in a wretched environment,
[22:51] Zero
he was punishing himself.
[22:55] Zero
The emotional wound he
suffered is terribly deep.
[22:59] Zero
Thus, I thought it best to give him a new
lease on life as a student in the Academy
[23:05] Zero
with no memory of what happened.
[23:09] Zero
But his peculiar trait posed the danger that
[23:12] ---
his magic would occasionally
run wildly out of control.
[23:17] Los
So thou soughtest his expulsion.
[23:19] Los
Thou takest, then givest,
then takest again. How arrogant.
[23:24] Los
Why dost thou seek to
control his life like this?
[23:29] Zero
He's my nephew.
[23:31] Los
Thy nephew?! Then Sayb's father is...
[23:37] Zero
Thirteen.
[23:37] Los
Thirteen!
[23:39] Zero
Yes, the one who stole
The Grimoire of Zero from me
[23:43] ---
to create a world controlled by witches.
[23:46] Zero
The one who caused war in the
Kingdom of Wenias by spreading magic.
[23:51] Zero
That extraordinary evil sorcerer.

In order to be helpful mages,

Good morning, Sayb!
[00:06] Saybil
Morning!
[00:07] Saybil
we each run a store now.
[00:09] Hort
Lovely weather again today.
[00:10] Saybil
As the village handymage,
[00:10] Saybil
Yeah. I'll make your tea.
[00:13] Saybil
Hort takes on a variety of job requests.
[00:13] Hort
Thanks again, Sayb.

[00:19] Saybil
to serve as an assistant at the clinic.
[00:21] Saybil
Morning, Kudo.
[00:22] Hort
Morning!
[00:22] Saybil
And I run a magic shop out of this house,

'Sup.

where I supply magic to those who need it.

[00:45] Hort
I can't get enough
[00:47] Hort
of this sensation lately.
[00:52] Saybil
Ah. Sorry, Hort.
[00:54] Saybil
Are you okay?
[00:55] Hort
Huh?
[00:56] Hort
Ah, a nosebleed!
[00:58] Kudo
You're too thirsty for it, dumb-dumb.
[01:00] Kudo
If you take too much, you'll die.
[01:02] Hort
But...
[01:07] Kudo
Damn it! It really does feel g—

[01:11] Hort
Well, see you later!
[01:13] Kudo
Later.
[01:14] Saybil
As the days pass by,
[01:17] Saybil
bit by bit, I feel more used to life here.
[01:23] Los
Good morning, Sayb!
[01:25] Los
Thou lookest well this morning.
[02:58] Los
Used to life here, thou sayest?
SIGN Episode 6
Knowledge of Ignorance
[03:02] Los
So,
[03:03] Los
without ever leaving the house...
[03:08] Saybil
How wouldst thou get used to the village?
[03:11] Los
I swear.
[03:13] Los
To think thou wouldst utterly
avoid initiating interaction!
[03:17] Los
Art thou awaiting an invitation to dance,
[03:20] Los
like some anxious noble girl at a ball?
[03:25] Saybil
I'm confining myself to my shop,
[03:27] Saybil
as a commoner apprentice mage.
[03:30] Los
So thou know thou art a shut-in.
[03:33] Saybil
But in the event someone's magic is depleted,
[03:36] Saybil
I need to be here.
[03:39] Saybil
And I have cleaning to do.
[03:41] Saybil
And everyone's laundry.
[03:44] Los
Including Hort's?
[03:46] Saybil
Yes.
[03:47] Saybil
Hort struggles a little with cleaning.
[03:49] Saybil
While I was cleaning the other day,
[03:53] Saybil
I found underwear that
had fallen under her bed.
[03:56] Los
Let me ask thee.
[03:58] ---
Did Hort ask that thou do her laundry?
[04:01] Saybil
No. I decided to do it.
[04:04] Los
And then Hort started
hiding her underwear?
[04:09] Saybil
I don't think she was hiding it...
[04:12] Los
'Tis obvious that she was hiding it!
[04:16] Los
Listen up! This must stop!
[04:17] Los
I cannot find the words to
deride thy dunderheadedness!
[04:22] Los
That a nubile maiden should have the
sweaty underwear she worked all day in
[04:27] Los
washed by a boy her age? Preposterous!
[04:31] Los
What art thou thinking when thou does this?
[04:34] Saybil
That I could do with some
soap to remove the stains.
[04:40] Saybil
P-Professor Los?
[04:42] Los
Didst thou just say stains?!
[04:45] Saybil
Well... underwear absorbs sweat, so...
[04:48] Saybil
If you don't wash a pair thoroughly...
[04:50] Saybil
Stains soon appear—
[04:51] Los
Stop! Stop!
[04:53] Los
If anyone were to hear thee,
[04:56] Los
the women of the village would brand
thee as an enterprising young pervert!
[05:01] Saybil
Just for discussing laundry?
[05:04] Los
'Tis not just any laundry!
[05:06] Los
'Tis a maiden’s freshly-worn underwear!
[05:12] Los
I imagine not, but...
[05:14] Los
Thou didst not mention underwear
stains or grime to Hort, didst thou?
[05:19] Saybil
No. I said I cleaned them, that's all
[05:23] Los
O gods...
[05:24] Saybil
Wh-What?
[05:27] Los
Listen here, Sayb!
[05:29] Los
Removed clothing has
one's scent, one's sweat...
[05:33] Los
and various other things soaked in!
They're an extension of you!
[05:37] Los
Just imagine!
[05:38] Los
What if underwear thou just tookest off
[05:42] Los
had a large hairy man
slobbering over them?
[05:45] Los
Spine-chilling, is it not?
[05:46] Saybil
Indeed.
[05:48] Saybil
In other words,
[05:49] Saybil
to Hort, I'm a big, hairy dude.
[05:53] Los
Erm...
[05:54] Los
That is somewhat off the mark.
[05:57] Los
'Tis quite the opposite.
[05:59] Hort
Hort...
[06:00] Hort
likes thee, doesn't she?
[06:04] Saybil
Well... I'm not really sure.
[06:08] Los
She fancies thee!
[06:11] Los
Take her to the forest at night and say,
[06:14] Los
"You're cute." See what happens!
[06:16] Los
Thou shalt shoot up the ladder of adulthood!
[06:20] Saybil
So I'll become an old man.
[06:23] Los
No! No! No!
[06:27] Los
That's not what that means!
[06:30] Saybil
I'm sorry.
[06:31] Saybil
There's a lot I don't know.
[06:35] Los
Listen well. People present
themselves to others.
[06:38] Los
When they especially like someone,
[06:40] ---
they want that person to
see only their good parts.
[06:43] Saybil
But...
[06:44] Saybil
It just feels like it's my job.
[06:48] Saybil
If I don't do it, I feel so uneasy.
[06:51] (Flashback) Zero
With no memories, he experienced
all manner of oppression
[06:55] (Flashback) Zero
as practically a slave.
[07:01] Los
I see.
[07:08] Los
There, there, there.
[07:10] Los
Thou art a good boy, Sayb.
[07:13] Saybil
Uh, ah...
[07:16] Saybil
Thank you, Professor.
[07:20] Los
Nevertheless...
[07:22] Los
With things this way, thou hast
no time for thy studies.
[07:26] Saybil
But compared to practicing casting,
[07:30] Saybil
focusing on supporting Hort and Kudo
contributes more to the village in the end.
[07:37] Los
Sayb, I'm almost out of
my favorite tea leaves.
[07:41] ---
Please fetch some from the forest.
[07:42] Saybil
Huh?
[07:44] ---
But the store...
[07:46] Los
What?
[07:47] Los
Thou canst make time for Hort and Kudo.
[07:50] Los
But thou canst not make
time for me, is that it?
[07:55] Saybil
The reason I do house chores is that
I have a job that keeps me home.
[08:00] Los
Wrong. Because thou
never leavest thy home,
[08:04] Los
thou art finding tasks to do there.
[08:07] Laios
Wow. You're outside, Sayb!
[08:10] Laios
This never happens.
[08:11] Saybil
Oh... You're Uls's kid..
[08:14] Laios
Come on!
[08:16] Laios
Lai-os!
[08:19] Laios
What're those leaves?
[08:21] Saybil
Oh, well...
[08:23] Laios
Jump!
[08:24] Laios
Jump!
[08:24] Los
Waiting in a particular house for customers,
[08:27] Los
and waiting in a particular
village for them...
[08:28] Laios
Over here!
[08:31] Los
They're both the same thing.
[08:32] Saybil
Laios!
[08:33] Saybil
H-Hold on a moment.
[08:36] Laios
Aw, why?
[08:38] Laios
Those leaves are this way.
[08:42] Saybil
I'm too big to go this way.
[08:46] Laios
But my daddy has no problem
coming this far with me.
[08:49] Saybil
Oh... He comes with you?
[08:51] Saybil
Uls does?
[08:53] Laios
Um... Well, sometimes he does.
[08:56] Saybil
Going any further would require tools.
[08:59] Saybil
We should go back for now.
[09:02] Laios
Y-You think I'm lying, don't you!
[09:06] Laios
Fine! I'll go pick some, so why
don't you just stand there.
[09:10] Saybil
Laios, wait!
[09:13] Saybil
Laios!
[09:21] Saybil
Laios.
[09:22] Laios
Are you mad?
[09:24] Saybil
I'm not mad.
[09:26] Laios
But I lied.
[09:29] Laios
And now I don't know the way back.
[09:32] Saybil
It's my fault for being tricked.
[09:35] Saybil
So I think I'll probably
be the one Uls scolds.
[09:40] Laios
What?!
[09:42] Laios
B-But that's not fair!
[09:44] Laios
I'll have my daddy get mad at me.
[09:47] Laios
'Cause you were nice...
[09:50] Laios
You trusted me.
[10:03] Saybil
A mouse?
[10:05] Laios
Oh, Lilly!
[10:07] Saybil
Lilly?
[10:08] Laios
Lilly, at the church.
[10:09] Laios
Lilly is friends with mice.
[10:13] Laios
Sayb, follow that mouse!
[10:16] Laios
It'll show us an easy path to the village.
[10:41] Saybil
It's the church.
[10:47] Laios
It's my mom!
[10:51] Laios's Mom
Lai-os!
[10:55] Laios's Mom
Good grief! It's always something.
[10:58] Laios
Mommy, I'm sorry!
[11:00] Priest
I imagine you're tired from
your stroll in the forest.
[11:03] Priest
Why don't you come inside and rest?
[11:05] Priest
I'll provide you a meal.
[11:08] Saybil
Oh, uh... okay.
[11:12] Saybil
This is my first time
going inside the church.
[11:16] Priest
Not just the church.
[11:17] Priest
In this small village, there are fewer
places you have been than haven't.
[11:24] Priest
Lilly, why are you wearing that?
[11:28] Lilly
So I don't startle him.
[11:30] Priest
Just let him be startled.
[11:31] Priest
Now take that off.
[11:33] Lilly
No.
[11:34] Priest
Lilly.
[11:37] Lilly
No!
[11:44] Lilly
No!
[11:46] Saybil
A m-mouse!
[11:48] Lilly
No! No! Give it back!
[11:51] Priest
Lilly...
[11:51] Priest
Prepare a meal for our guest.
[11:54] Lilly
What?
[11:55] Lilly
B-But...
[11:58] Priest
He eats meals at Mercenary's bar.
[12:02] Lilly
But still... I'm a rodent.
[12:05] Priest
Does that bother you?
[12:07] Saybil
Does what bother me?
[12:09] Priest
You don't understand my question?
[12:11] Saybil
N-No, sorry.
[12:14] Priest
If you don't understand, then all the better.
[12:16] Saybil
You cook, Ms. Lilly?
[12:21] Priest
What is it?
[12:22] Saybil
Nothing.
[12:22] Saybil
Do you not cook, Father?
[12:25] Lilly
D-Don't!
[12:26] Lilly
The Father's cooking is unbelievably bad.
[12:29] Lilly
It's scary!
[12:30] Saybil
So bad as to cause fear?
[12:32] Priest
It's because I want our guest
to have a proper meal
[12:36] Lilly
that I am asking you.
[12:39] Priest
Go ahead.
[12:41] Priest
Hot soup, bread, and honey.
[12:45] Saybil
Honey?
[12:47] Priest
We keep some bee hives in the forest.
[12:49] Priest
And you were about to enter the
bees' territory with Laios.
[12:56] Priest
The forest is a dangerous place.
[12:58] Priest
At night, there are even wolves.
[13:00] Priest
That's why adults harshly scold
children who try to enter the forest.
[13:05] Saybil
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
[13:09] Priest
Not knowing is not a sin.
[13:12] Priest
But if you are going to
enter an unknown location,
[13:16] Priest
you ought to learn about
whatever dangers you can.
[13:21] Priest
It's a matter of life and death.
[13:23] Priest
Do you want to die?
[13:30] Lilly
Hey, um,
[13:31] Lilly
the father is super ill-tempered.
[13:34] Lilly
So no need to be down on yourself.
[13:38] Saybil
O-Okay.
[13:43] Saybil
This is delicious.
[13:46] Priest
And so why did you enter the forest?
[13:49] Saybil
Professor Los asked me to
fetch some of these for her.
[13:54] Priest
This fragrance... Tea leaves, yes?
[13:58] Priest
You didn't even find
out where they grow first?
[14:01] Priest
If you had asked one of the
adults in the village,
[14:03] Priest
you would have found them easily.
[14:06] Priest
Since they grow next to Zero's house.
[14:11] Priest
Ignorance is not a sin,
[14:13] Priest
but realize that being content
with ignorance is harmful.
[14:16] Priest
It might motivate you to learn.
[14:20] Priest
Or do you
[14:21] Priest
intend to spend your whole
life shut inside that shop?
[14:25] Priest
Learning nothing, until one day
Zero tells you you've passed?
[14:31] Hort
Sayb!
[14:32] Hort
Wh-What's going on?
[14:34] Hort
You almost never leave the shop.
[14:38] Saybil
It's a long story.
[14:40] Saybil
I was treated to lunch...
[14:43] Hort
Was it Lilly's cooking?
Her food is delicious.
[14:47] Hort
Still, no matter how good the food,
[14:50] Hort
this is a bad look.
[14:57] Saybil
Did you get hurt?
[14:58] Saybil
There's blood on your sleeve.
[15:00] Hort
No, not me... Mercenary.
[15:05] Hort
Lately the forest creatures have been
trampling the neighboring village's fields.
[15:11] Hort
So I headed out with Mercenary.
[15:15] Hort
But on the way, we were
attacked by a pack of wolves.
[15:21] Hort
I panicked and tried to cast...
[15:25] Hort
But the incantation took too long.
[15:28] Hort
Mercenary protected me, but...
[15:32] Hort
I... hit him with my spell.
[15:38] Hort
I came to get Lilly.
[15:41] Hort
Mercenary wants her... to handle the bar...
[15:47] Saybil
Hort.
[15:48] Lilly
Hey, hey. Um...
[15:51] Lilly
He got hit on purpose.
[15:54] ---
Because he'd still be fine.
[15:56] Hort
But he was incredibly mad.
[15:59] Hort
He yelled at me not to start
incantations I can't finish.
[16:02] Hort
Maybe I shouldn't become a mage!
[16:08] Lilly
It's okay. It's okay.
[16:14] Los
My goodness.
[16:15] Saybil
I didn't expect for thee to run into Hort.
[16:19] Los
Professor Los?
[16:22] Los
Thou hast a job, Sayb!
[16:24] Los
As a magic supplier!
[16:37] Los
Mud-Black Witch!
[16:39] Los
I have brought the magic supplier!
[16:41] Zero
Thank you, Dawn Witch.
[16:43] Zero
Apologies, young man.
[16:45] Zero
I'll borrow a bit.
[17:21] Mercenary
Was the kiss really necessary?
[17:26] Zero
Getting jealous of the
kid who saved your life?
[17:29] Zero
That's shameful, Mercenary.
[17:35] Saybil
Um...
[17:36] Priest
Is Hort going to be expelled?
[17:39] Mercenary
What?
[17:40] Mercenary
Is she?
[17:43] Zero
I see no reason for it.
[17:45] Saybil
But Hort said Mercenary was incredibly mad...
[17:49] Mercenary
You're darn right I was!
[17:51] Mercenary
It's a matter of life and death.
[17:53] Mercenary
I ain't so nice that I'd
bother lecturin' somebody
[17:55] Mercenary
I had no intention of teaming up with again.
[17:58] Mercenary
I scolded her because
there'll be a next time.
[18:03] Saybil
A next time...
[18:05] Saybil
It's my fault for being tricked.
[18:08] Laios
I'll have my daddy get mad at me.
[18:11] Saybil
I see. There'll be a next time...
[18:14] Saybil
I have to go see Laios.
[18:18] Saybil
Oh.
[18:19] Saybil
Um,
[18:22] Saybil
Professor Zero...
[18:23] Saybil
Please share some of these tea
leaves with Professor Los.
[18:27] Zero
Bye.
[18:31] Zero
It's more rational for him
to support the other two?
[18:35] Zero
The young man said that?
[18:36] Los
Indeed.
[18:37] Los
So he's expending his energy
on cleaning and laundry,
[18:40] Los
and staying shut inside the house.
[18:44] Los
And so I asked him to gather tea leaves.
[18:48] Los
I wanted to give him a reason to come here.
[18:52] Los
In a small amount of time, he's fallen
quite far behind the other two.
[18:58] Zero
Just because the other two are hurrying,
[19:01] Zero
doesn't mean the young man must
run at the same speed, too.
[19:05] Mercenary
It seems fine to me.
[19:08] Mercenary
Why make him study if he doesn't want to?
[19:11] Mercenary
He's contributing plenty
just being a magic supplier.
[19:15] Zero
That is true.
[19:19] Los
No, no, no!
[19:22] Los
I wanna see my ducklings to
become crazy amazing mages,
[19:25] Los
and watch them turn the world upside-down!
[19:29] Los
What do we do?
[19:30] Los
What if Sayb continues not to learn magic,
[19:33] Los
and announces that he'll make
his living as a magic supplier?
[19:36] Mercenary
I'd just let him do what he wants.
[19:38] Mercenary
I need to get back to the bar. I'm leaving.
[19:43] Albus
Can I really leave this to you?
[19:45] Holdem
What, do you think I'm so incompetent
I can't even inspect the village?
[19:51] Albus
Quit joking around.
[19:52] Albus
You surely have some feelings
when it comes to Saybil.
[19:57] Holdem
So you think I'd tie up a kid
who's never even met his father,
[20:02] Holdem
and try him for his father's crimes?
[20:06] Albus
I do, a little.
[20:10] Los
Mud-Black Witch, why is Mercenary's
change of clothes here?
[20:15] Zero
He frequently stays over.
[20:19] Zero
My goodness. How far have you two gotten?
[20:23] Zero
Is that truly what you wish to ask?
[20:26] Los
Indeed.
[20:29] Los
About the magic transfer earlier.
[20:32] Zero
I know.
[20:34] Zero
After saying I wouldn't turn a family
member into a tool for obtaining magic...
[20:39] Los
That wasn't my point.
[20:41] Los
Though I said some harsh
things the other day,
[20:43] Los
if Sayb is operating a magic shop, then taking
the magic he provides is not a crime.
[20:50] Los
And yet thou tookest only
the slightest bit of magic.
[20:54] Los
Why?
[20:55] Zero
If I as supervisor told him to give me all
the magic I want, it would be exploitation.
[21:03] Zero
There is no guarantee his
well of magic won't run dry.
[21:07] Los
But as things stand,
[21:11] Los
thou wilt age and rot away.
[21:15] Zero
That is normal, Dawn Witch.
[21:18] Zero
I shall embrace it.
[21:21] Zero
I won't fear it.
[21:23] Zero
Besides,
[21:25] Zero
I'll age and rot away with the one I love.
[21:28] Zero
Compared to the alternative,
[21:30] Zero
it's far better.
[21:43] Young Albus
Why aren't you fighting?
[21:46] Young Albus
You're Grandma's servant!
[21:50] Young Albus
If you won't fight, then I will!
[21:53] Holdem
My lady, you can't!
[21:56] Albus
I'll defeat Thirteen and avenge Grandma!
[22:03] the Tyrant
Now would be a good time to tell me.
[22:06] the Tyrant
So, what is it ya want me to do?
[22:17] Laios
Okay...
[22:19] Saybil
Laios, let's go play in the forest tomorrow.

[00:01] Kudo
Who's my next patient?
[00:04] Kudo
My room?
[00:06] Kudo
How am I back here?
[00:09] Kudo
I remember there was an outbreak
in the village to the west...
[00:14] (Flashback) Head of the Clinic
It's a contagious disease.
[00:16] (Flashback) Head of the Clinic
Medicine could treat it,
[00:18] (Flashback) Head of the Clinic
but they don't have the money to buy it.
[00:21] (Flashback) Kudo
We don't need no medicine, Doctor.
[00:25] (Flashback) Kudo
I'll cure them all with magic!
[00:33] Hort
You woke up?
[00:35] Hort
Give your thanks to the physician.
[00:37] Hort
He carried you on his back
after you passed out.
[00:41] Kudo
I passed out?
[00:42] Saybil
You were magically depleted.
You tried to heal all 13 at once.
[00:47] Saybil
You ran out of magic partway through.
[00:51] Kudo
That makes me look lame!
[00:53] Saybil
You missed out.
[00:55] Saybil
If you had been conscious,
you could have eaten Lilly's cooking.
[01:01] Kudo
Lilly's?
[01:02] Kudo
Why was she cooking?
Did the old mercenary die?
[01:07] Saybil
Sorry. I didn't mean to bring it back up.
[01:09] Hort
I-It's fine. What happened
to him was my fault.
[01:14] Kudo
You killed him?!
[01:16] Hort
No! I just accidentally
hit him with a spell!
[01:19] Kudo
So you tried to kill him?
[01:21] Hort
Shut up! An edge-lizord who ran out
of magic has no room to criticize!
[01:26] Saybil
Wow, Hort, that's really funny.
[01:29] Kudo
"Edge-lizord?!"
[01:31] Kudo
Why, you! I'll kill you even if it kills me!
[01:35] Los
Be quiet!
[01:36] Los
What possesses thee to shout a thing
like "I'll kill you" at night?
[01:41] Kudo
Wh-Why're you here?
Did ya come to lecture us?
[01:45] Hort
Well, we all really messed up today.
[01:49] Saybil
Yeah. I got lost in the forest with Laios.
[01:53] Los
Indeed. So tell me.
[01:55] Los
How do you all intend
to face your deeds?
[02:00] Hort
I won't use magic in actual combat
until I learn how to stop a spell.
[02:07] Kudo
I'll... only use magic for emergency
cases and consult my boss for the rest.
[02:13] Los
Consult? Thou meanest "seek his wisdom."
[02:17] Los
If thou wishest to talk a big game,
put in the work first.
[02:21] Kudo
D-Don't call me an edge-lizord!
[02:25] Los
Now you, Sayb.
[02:27] Saybil
I'll start by leaving the house.
[02:30] Saybil
I promised to play with Laios
in the forest tomorrow,
[02:33] Saybil
but I asked his parents' permission.
[02:35] Los
Very well.
[02:38] Los
But if thou art going into the forest,
collect medicinal herbs.
[02:42] Los
It shall double as a herbology lesson.
[02:45] Kudo
Isn't Saybil getting off easy?
[02:47] ---
[02:48] Hort
Nope.
[02:49] Kudo
G-Get off me! You're heavy!
[02:55] Los
Well, it seems you three know what to do,
[02:58] Los
but you ought to go see the Mud-Black
Witch together tomorrow.
[03:02] Hort
Huh? But what about work?
[03:04] Los
No one will die if you
three take one day off.
[04:43] Los
Have a good day!
SIGN Episode 7 "I Can't Save Anything"
[04:46] Hort
You, too, Professor! We're off!
[04:49] Hort
Professor Los is kinda like a mom!
[04:52] Kudo
Is that what moms are like?
[04:54] Hort
She's not like my mom,
but she's strict yet kind.
[04:59] Hort
And she's helpful and reliable.
[05:00] Saybil
A mom...
[05:03] Saybil
This is an incredible number of books.
[05:06] Zero
This collection is the limited
fraction of books I keep on hand.
[05:09] Zero
Most go to the Forbidden Library.
[05:11] Saybil
The Forbidden Library?
[05:13] Kudo
Niedora Fort. In the north.
[05:16] Hort
You're from the north, right, Kudo?
[05:19] Hort
Have you ever been there?
[05:20] Kudo
Of course not. Duh.
[05:22] Kudo
The Forbidden Library isn't on maps,
[05:26] Kudo
since it's where they keep books
the Church has forbidden.
[05:29] Zero
Thus, it's set up so you can't get
close if you don't know where it is.
[05:34] Hort
Amazing!
[05:35] Hort
I'm definitely gonna go someday.
[05:37] Hort
Hey, let's all go together!
[05:39] Saybil
Sure.
[05:41] Kudo
That's a hell no from me.
[05:43] Kudo
The north is crawling with
Remnants of Disaster.
[05:46] Kudo
You'll be killed in the blink of an eye.
[05:49] Saybil
Are these "Remnants of
Disaster" that dangerous?
[05:52] Zero
Well...
[05:54] Zero
If you encounter one while unprepared,
[05:56] Zero
you'll either die tragically or
suffer so much, you'll wish you had.
[06:00] Saybil
Maybe I don't really want to go, either.
[06:03] Hort
Don't worry! I'll protect both of you!
[06:07] Hort
If you supply magical energy and Kudo heals,
then, ta-dah! We're unstoppable!
[06:14] Kudo
Yeah, yeah.
[06:16] Kudo
A mage who nearly kills her party members
[06:19] Kudo
and a medical mage who passes out mid-heal.
[06:22] Hort
I-I'm gonna learn proper control!
[06:25] Zero
Regarding that,
[06:27] Zero
antlered girl, I have a
special lesson for you.
[06:32] Zero
You won't be released until
you can cancel your spells.
[06:37] Hort
Ahh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry I
hit Mercenary! Forgive me!
[06:47] Kudo
Find a good book?
[06:49] Saybil
Yeah. I think so.
[06:51] Hort
Flagis! My name is Hort!
[06:56] Hort
Disappear!
[07:02] Zero
Hmm. Not too bad. This will do.
[07:06] Hort
That was a close one.
[07:08] Zero
Keep honing your skills like that.
[07:11] Zero
As an exercise, I recommend using Flagis
to light all the candles in your home.
[07:16] Hort
I-I don't have enough magic for that!
[07:27] Zero
That just now was my expenditure
for one cast of Flagis.
[07:31] Zero
The way to cast from your textbook
is ultimately just one example.
[07:36] Zero
Try applying it in different ways.
[07:38] Zero
Even if you expend too much magical energy,
[07:41] Zero
you have a supplier—
[07:48] Hort
P-Professor Zero!
[07:53] Hort
Professor Zero!
[07:54] Zero
I-I'm fine.
[07:57] Zero
I'm just slightly depleted.
[07:59] Hort
B-But...
[08:02] Zero
Hey...
[08:03] Saybil
Huh?
[08:04] Saybil
The magic transfer isn't working.
[08:07] Saybil
Maybe via the lips, like yesterday?
[08:09] Hort
L-Lips?!
[08:11] Zero
It's fine.
[08:13] Zero
More importantly, I'm hungry.
[08:15] Zero
I'll feel a little better once I eat...
[08:20] Hort
Amazing, Sayb!
[08:21] Hort
You're so strong!
[08:23] Saybil
Could you two go to Mercenary and
bring some food back from the bar?
[08:29] Hort
You got it!
[08:30] Saybil
I'll carry Professor Zero inside.
[08:39] Saybil
It's still not working.
[08:41] Saybil
Why?
[08:42] Zero
You have nothing to worry about. Try to stab
me through the heart with this knife.
[08:47] Zero
Even if I said that, most people
couldn't bring themselves to try.
[08:51] Zero
I could probably fully rob you of magic.
[08:56] Zero
I'm a natural enemy to you.
[09:01] Saybil
The same color as mine...
[09:04] (Flashback) Zero
Your eyes
[09:05] (Flashback) Zero
are the same as mine, young man.
[09:09] Saybil
Professor Zero.
[09:11] Saybil
My mother...
[09:13] Saybil
do you know her?
[09:15] Zero
No.
[09:18] Zero
Your father, on the other hand...
[09:20] Saybil
My father...
[09:22] Saybil
Oh, right. I have a father, too.
[09:26] Zero
That book. Did you take it from my library?
[09:29] Saybil
Oh, yes.
[09:32] Saybil
I'm going into the forest today, so I
wanted a book about medicinal herbs.
[09:36] Zero
The penmanship is terrible,
isn't it? Extraordinarily so.
[09:40] Zero
It took me a lot of effort to decipher it.
[09:43] Saybil
Not at all. My handwriting is similar,
so it's easy to understand.
[09:48] Zero
I see.
[09:50] Zero
I'm sure the author would
be upset to hear that.
[09:53] Zero
Witches employ tricks to prevent others
from using the knowledge in their books.
[10:00] Saybil
What? Does that include this book?
[10:03] Zero
However, I failed to discover any tricks.
[10:07] Zero
After all, the medicines are plenty effective
if you follow the book's instructions exactly.
[10:13] Zero
They're that effective, and yet to
the author, they're still defective.
[10:18] Zero
That's the sort of information
written in that tome.
[10:20] Saybil
It's an incredible book.
[10:22] Saybil
What sort of witch wrote it, I wonder?
[10:25] Zero
A sorcerer.
[10:26] Saybil
Huh?
[10:27] Zero
It was a sorcerer who wrote that
book. In other words, a man.
[10:33] Saybil
You mean it was my father?
[10:35] Zero
He was a sorcerer with unparalleled talent.
[10:38] Zero
Always calm, deeply inquisitive,
and totally unshakable.
[10:44] Saybil
Wow. I'm not like him at all.
[10:48] Zero
Actually, it would be a
big deal if you were.
[10:50] Zero
Still, you described that
book as "easy to understand."
[10:54] Zero
Perhaps you'll uncover the book's secrets.
[10:59] Zero
It would appear he came.
[11:00] Saybil
Mercenary? That was fast.
[11:03] Zero
He must have run here full bore
the moment he was informed,
[11:09] Zero
but paused to catch his breath, and now
intentionally ascends the stairs slowly.
[11:14] Zero
That's just how he is.
[11:18] Mercenary
Hey, there. You're looking
better than I expected.
[11:22] Mercenary
Wh-What?
[11:23] Mercenary
What're you looking at?
[11:26] Zero
Do I spy smoked pork? And sausage, too!
[11:29] Mercenary
Sorry. Thanks for staying with her.
[11:33] Saybil
It was nothing. Sorry I couldn't
supply her with magic,
[11:36] Saybil
even though it's my job.
[11:38] Mercenary
Listen. About that...
[11:41] Zero
Wait, Mercenary.
[11:42] Zero
I'll say it.
[11:44] Zero
Young man, you...
[11:47] Laios
So, for those tea leaves, you're looking for
a red flower blooming at the base of a tree.
[11:53] Laios
Sayb!
[11:55] Saybil
Huh?
[11:55] Laios
You're staring off into space!
[11:58] Saybil
Oh, sorry. I had something on my mind.
[12:02] Saybil
Laios, these mushrooms are edible.
[12:06] Saybil
This tree supposedly bears fruit.
[12:10] Saybil
Laios, stop! Touching that
will make you itchy.
[12:13] Laios
What?
[12:14] Laios
Sayb, you seem really grown-up today!
[12:18] Saybil
Huh? I do?
[12:19] Laios
I mean, you can read books because
you're a grown-up, right?
[12:24] Saybil
If you study, you'll be able
to read soon, too, Laios.
[12:27] Laios
Really? You don't just learn
to read when you grow up?
[12:32] Saybil
No, it doesn't just happen automatically.
[12:35] (Flashback) Zero
Do you want to be a magic supplier?
[12:38] (Flashback) Zero
Or do you want to be a mage?
[12:42] (Flashback) Zero
I had you three set up shops here
to further your studies as mages.
[12:47] (Flashback) Zero
If you have no desire to be a mage,
[12:50] (Flashback) Zero
then there is nothing for you to learn here.
[12:54] (Flashback) Saybil
I...
[12:56] (Flashback) Zero
Take some time to think
[12:59] (Flashback) Zero
about the path you want to take.
[13:04] Saybil
A dead animal.
[13:06] Saybil
Was it attacked by wolves?
[13:08] Laios
What? Wolves?
[13:10] Laios
But you can beat wolves with
your magic, right, Sayb?
[13:15] Saybil
Uh, no... I...
[13:18] Laios
We made it! Red flowers!
[13:21] Laios
This has gotta be it, right, Sayb?
[13:24] Saybil
Yeah.
[13:25] Laios
Check us out! We found them all on our own!
[13:32] Laios
We're an adventuring party!
[13:34] Laios
Where should we go tomorrow?
[13:36] Saybil
Um...
[13:38] Laios
What, you don't want to?
[13:40] Saybil
That's not it. It's just that
I have to practice magic.
[13:44] Laios
Oh. Yeah...
[13:45] Laios
Grown-ups are busy.
[13:50] Saybil
Do you want to go out with
me while I practice magic?
[13:56] Laios
So, you'll practice magic with me every day?
[13:59] Saybil
Yep.
[14:00] Laios
Yay!
[14:01] Laios
Sayb, we're gonna be married!
[14:03] Saybil
That's taking it a little far...
[14:11] Saybil
Laios, we'd better head ba—
[14:16] Laios
Sayb?
[14:19] Saybil
Laios,
[14:20] Saybil
get down!
[14:40] Laios
Sayb, I...
[14:47] Saybil
Laios!
[14:52] Saybil
Laios, hang on!
[14:55] Laios
What do I do...
[14:57] Laios
I'm causing problems again...
[15:01] Priest
Healing magic!
[15:02] Saybil
I can't. I've never cast it successfully.
[15:05] Saybil
What do I do?
[15:12] Laios
It hurts. It hurts, Sayb.
[15:20] Saybil
Hang on, Laios.
[15:23] Saybil
It's gonna be okay.
[15:27] Laios
It hur...
[15:31] Saybil
Laios.
[15:33] Saybil
Laios!
[15:37] Saybil
His breathing...
[15:39] Saybil
You have to hold on!
[15:40] Saybil
We're almost out of the forest!
We're almost there!
[15:46] Saybil
Why...
[15:48] Saybil
Why didn't I practice?
[15:51] Saybil
Even the simplest spell would have helped.
[15:54] Saybil
Somebody!
[15:57] Saybil
Professor Los!
[16:03] Los
Get up, Sayb! Get up!
[16:07] Los
Run! The Mud-Black Witch is on the way.
[16:10] Los
Laios isn't dead yet! Get up and run!
[16:14] Saybil
Professor Los...
[16:26] Saybil
Gotta make it... Gotta get there in time!
[16:38] Saybil
Professor Zero! Mercenary!
[16:43] Saybil
I-I'm sorry...
[16:45] Saybil
I...
[16:47] Saybil
failed again...
[16:48] Mercenary
Don't be stupid!
[16:50] Mercenary
You successfully protected him!
[16:52] Mercenary
You persevered and reached us!
[16:54] Zero
He's suffering from blood loss...
[16:55] Los
Incoming!
[16:58] Zero
Dawn Witch! Give me your blood!
[17:01] Los
Very well!
[17:02] Los
Take it!
[17:08] Los
I have plenty to give!
[17:16] Kudo
So you collapsed from blood loss,
[17:19] Kudo
and you from magic depletion?
[17:23] Los
I know I said I had plenty,
[17:26] Los
but thou didst truly take
too much all at once.
[17:30] Zero
I had to act quickly,
[17:32] Zero
but you're the one who
slashed your wrist open!
[17:35] Kudo
Shut yer yaps and get some rest!
[17:38] Kudo
Saybil, how long are you gonna cry?
[17:42] Saybil
Sorry. It just won't stop...
[17:46] Hort
You can cry.
[17:47] Hort
Just keep letting the tears
out until they stop.
[17:51] Kudo
Then Laios will laugh at hi—
[17:54] Kudo
Huh?
[17:55] Kudo
Where'd he go?
[17:57] Laios
Get this! Sayb and I
[18:00] Laios
fought a monster!
[18:02] Laios
Then I was gravely wounded protecting him—
[18:06] Uls
Laios...
[18:08] Laios
D-D-Daddy!
[18:10] Los
It must have been a Remnant of Disaster.
[18:14] Los
I saw a very similar illustration
in a book at the Forbidden Library.
[18:18] Los
It disguises itself as a dead
animal to lure in prey.
[18:22] Los
The many barbs it launches suck blood,
[18:26] Los
and then sprout limbs and climb
up a tree to await more prey.
[18:32] Los
I believe it was labeled "Touch-Me-Not."
[18:37] Los
'Tis a plaything demons created
to torment and kill humans.
[18:43] Los
They were created in the
Disasters of the North,
[18:44] Los
and even with the demons gone,
they continue to multiply.
[18:50] Zero
But the Church & Mage
Army's line of defense
[18:54] Zero
ought to prevent them
from venturing south.
[18:57] Zero
That one suddenly appeared
in the forest means
[19:00] Zero
someone set it loose there.
[19:03] Zero
I am exceedingly displeased.
[19:07] Mercenary
I'll go pay the father a little visit.
[19:10] Zero
I'll go, too.
[19:11] Mercenary
Stay in bed.
[19:15] Mercenary
Oh? What're you doin' here, dog-face?
[19:18] Holdem
I'm a wolf!
[19:21] Mercenary
Someone's catching Remnants of
Disaster and sellin' 'em off?
[19:26] Holdem
Yeah.
[19:27] Holdem
I thought it was hogwash, but if one was
in the village, it's a different story.
[19:32] Priest
The Church accepted peace with witches.
[19:35] Priest
Anyone who seeks to fracture
that peace is a heretic.
[19:42] Priest
Time to gather information.
[19:44] Priest
Let's go, Lilly.
[19:45] Lilly
Wait, I'm coming, too?
[19:47] Priest
We have a rat to sniff out.
That's your forte.
[19:51] Lilly
But if I leave the village...
[19:53] Priest
Then what?
[19:55] Priest
Being in the village didn't enable
you to find the creature.
[20:01] Lilly
Um, my friends... they're all scared...
[20:05] Lilly
They can't get near the thing that
looks like... a ball of thorns.
[20:10] Lilly
They can't see it because
they can't get near it.
[20:12] Mercenary
Calm down, little one.
[20:14] Mercenary
The father isn't blaming you.
[20:16] Mercenary
I got reports that the forest
creatures were acting strange,
[20:21] Mercenary
but I didn't try to find out why.
[20:23] Mercenary
I'm at fault, too.
[20:25] Mercenary
I need to go inform
the neighboring village.
[20:29] Holdem
And leave this village with weak defenses?
[20:32] Mercenary
This isn't an outsider's business.
[20:35] Holdem
I'm here to conduct a surprise inspection.
[20:37] Mercenary
An inspection? Oh, because
you're incompetent and idle.
[20:41] Holdem
Because I'm the most competent!
[20:44] Mercenary
That's fine.
[20:46] Mercenary
If we have someone so capable with us,
we can't let that go to waste.
[20:52] Mercenary
The priest and I are leaving the village.
[20:54] Mercenary
A worn-out witch and the old biddy
with the staff may not be enough.
[20:59] Mercenary
Please protect them.
[21:01] Holdem
You sure you want to leave them to me?
[21:04] Holdem
I failed to protect the woman
who is most important to me.
[21:07] Mercenary
You're not the only one whose regrets and
failures wake them up at night, dog-face.
[21:14] Priest
If you want to play the tragic hero,
[21:17] Priest
wait until you've killed the one
you love with your own hands first.
[21:22] Holdem
What, is this a sob story contest?
[21:25] Mercenary
So it's settled.
[21:27] Mercenary
H-Hey!
[21:29] Mercenary
What are you doing? Go lie down!
[21:32] Zero
I knew you were planning to leave me behind.
[21:37] Mercenary
I mean, you're suffering
from magic depletion.
[21:41] Zero
I'm still a witch. I can protect you.
[21:45] Holdem
I think you should take the
Mud-Black Witch with you.
[21:48] Holdem
We beastfallen are made
to work with witches.
[21:54] Mercenary
Can it, dog-face.
[21:55] Priest
Or, rather, if Zero has decided
to go, we cannot stop her.
[22:01] Lilly
I think you two should stay together!
[22:05] Zero
Mercenary.
[22:07] Zero
It's unanimous. Accept it.
[22:10] Priest
We'll be going now.
[22:12] Lilly
W-Wait for me!
[22:14] Lilly
We haven't been to the city in so long!
[22:17] Priest
We aren't visiting for fun.
[23:55] Laios
Did you see? I played a really big part!

[00:01] Holdem
And that's why,
[00:02] Holdem
on a temporary basis,
[00:03] Holdem
I have been entrusted with
protecting this village.
[00:08] Hort
Who is he?
[00:09] Kudo
The Headmaster's servant.
[00:12] Hort
Um, Mr. Headmaster's Servant?
[00:16] Holdem
Holdem. Chief of Security. Super capable.
[00:20] Hort
Mr. Super-Capable Chief of Security Holdem,
[00:24] Hort
in the last test I got pretty darn hurt.
[00:27] Hort
Are you here to do awful
stuff again this time?
[00:31] Holdem
My purpose here is to inspect the village.
[00:34] ---
I just happened to have this foisted on me
[00:37] Holdem
because I'm capable.
[00:39] Saybil
He's awfully insistent about that.
[00:40] Hort
Is he actually capable?
[00:42] Kudo
He's known for his nasty personality.
[00:46] Holdem
You're an unendearing bunch!
[00:48] Holdem
Okay, announcement over.
Now scram. Scram! Go!
[00:52] Holdem
Ugh, kids.
[00:54] Los
So,
[00:55] Los
why art thou really here?
[00:59] Los
Just as a Remnant of Disaster appears,
thou showest up to inspect.
[01:05] Los
It hardly seems unrelated.
[01:07] Holdem
It is unrelated.
[01:09] ---
If I used a Remnant of Disaster,
the village would fall.
[01:13] Los
I shall believe thee.
[01:15] Holdem
About that Remnant problem...
[01:18] Holdem
Can you take care of it?
[01:20] Los
"Take care of it?"
[01:22] Holdem
The one thing I appreciate
about you is your skills.
[01:25] ---
You're the sole witch my master relied on.
[01:30] Los
Well, Sorena was my friend, after all...
[01:41] Los
Sorena died protecting people.
She would ask me to protect the village.
[01:51] Los
As for compensation?
[01:53] Holdem
Access to The Grimoire of Zero.
[01:55] Los
What?!
[01:56] Holdem
Please, Loux. I swear, I'll persuade my lady.
[01:59] Holdem
This village is her dream.
[02:02] Holdem
We'll do anything to protect it.
[02:07] Los
Even trust me? I see!
[03:42] Hort
Huh? You want to get stronger?
SIGN Episode 8 Respective Costs
[03:44] Saybil
Yeah. Today I decided I want to
be a proper mage like you two.
[03:50] Hort
Of course! Let's graduate together
and become mages together!
[03:54] Saybil
But... I don't think I'll be able
to keep doing the chores like I was.
[03:59] Saybil
Like the laundry...
[04:02] Hort
Like I said before! You don't
have to wash... my clothes!
[04:08] Los
Hurry home, you three.
[04:11] Los
O-Oh...
[04:12] Hort
Professor Los?
[04:14] Los
No need for concern.
[04:16] Holdem
You better be okay...
[04:19] Holdem
I'd still lose some sleep if you died.
[04:34] Saybil
So... what I wanted to ask... is...
[04:38] Saybil
I want you two to teach me to cast.
[04:42] ---
In exchange, I'll restore your magic.
[04:46] Kudo
Sounds fine to me.
[04:47] ---
Actually, I thought it was nuts that
you didn't ask for anything before.
[04:51] Hort
To be honest, I felt like we
leaned on you a little too much.
[04:56] Hort
Wh-While we're on the subject,
[04:58] Hort
I was curious about something...
[05:01] Hort
Sayb, sometimes you... supply
magic through your l-lips, right?
[05:08] Hort
So, um, like! Does that mean
you might do that with me?
[05:14] Saybil
Huh? No, I don't think so.
[05:18] Hort
Y-You won't, huh? I see!
[05:23] Kudo
I'm surprised you're unfazed by it, dude.
[05:27] Saybil
By what?
[05:28] Kudo
Think about it with the genders swapped.
[05:30] Saybil
Gender... swap?
[05:36] "Male Zero"
I want to devour you.
[05:40] "Male Los"
This is the difference experience makes.
[05:46] Saybil
I don't really see an issue.
[05:48] Hort
You can't do that!
[05:50] Hort
It's against morality!
[05:51] Hort
A mortal sin!
[05:53] Hort
I won't let that happen to my Saybina!
[05:56] Saybil
"Saybina"?
[05:57] Kudo
"My"?
[05:58] Holdem
Hey.
[06:00] Holdem
Can you show me to an empty
house where I can rest?
[06:04] Hort
Sure. I'll take you.
[06:06] Holdem
That won't do.
[06:08] Holdem
I can't go to an empty house
alone with a young maiden.
[06:12] Holdem
The village's population will increase.
[06:17] Hort
What a creep!
[06:18] Kudo
We should file a complaint
with the Headmaster.
[06:21] Holdem
I-I'm sorry!
[06:23] Holdem
Please! Just don't tell my lady!
[06:24] Uls
Saybil.
[06:27] Saybil
Mr. Uls...
[06:29] Uls
We need to talk.
[06:31] Hort
I-In that case, we'll take Mr. Holdem.
[06:39] Uls
I know it's not your fault.
[06:41] Uls
Laios cried and defended you.
[06:45] Saybil
Sir, I...
[06:46] Uls
Still, I'm sorry,
[06:48] ---
but I need you to stay away from our son.
[06:59] Saybil
Yes, sir.
[07:04] (Flashback) Saybil
Do you want to go out with
me while I practice magic?
[07:07] (Flashback) Laios
So, you'll practice magic with me every day?
[07:14] Saybil
Once I'm strong enough to protect him,
may I take him out again?
[07:20] Saybil
I promised him we'd play adventurers again.
[07:25] Uls
It's just a promise to a kid.
[07:28] Saybil
But we're friends.
[07:35] Uls
I'll teach Laios a little more about
staying safe in the forest by then.

Yet another person you love
is gonna die because of you.

How long are you gonna repress it?
[08:14] (Flashback) Saybil's Mom
Listen closely, dear.
[08:16] (Flashback) Saybil's Mom
You must never approach a
witch who has eyes like yours.
[08:22] (Flashback) Young Saybil
Mom...
[08:24] (Flashback) Saybil's Mom
She'll take everything from you.
[08:50] (Flashback) Witch
Hid him in a barrier, eh?
[08:52] (Flashback) Witch
Come out, child.
[08:55] (Flashback) Witch
If you don't want to let your mom die.
[08:58] (Flashback) Witch
Come on.

Now, come along.

[09:37] (Flashback) Witch
Ah, the power! Just the
slightest touch and I feel it.
[09:42] (Flashback) Witch
Yes!
[09:43] (Flashback) Witch
This is...
[09:52] (Flashback) Witch
Stop!
[09:53] (Flashback) Witch
Let go of me!
[10:22] the Tyrant
Hey!
[10:27] the Tyrant
Spare me all that.
[10:29] Zero
My orders were to take
you alive this time.
[10:34] Saybil
Um, am I being abducted?
[10:37] the Tyrant
What does it look like?
[10:40] Saybil
Um, I think I'll probably be a
disappointment to your employer.
[10:45] the Tyrant
Not my problem.
[10:47] the Tyrant
I'm a tool. I just get used for my purpose.
[10:52] Zero
Damn. Someone's caught up to us.
[10:55] Kudo
Hey! You said you could drive the horses!
[10:58] Hort
I am driving them! They're flying
forward, aren't they? See?
[11:02] Kudo
Hey! Stop them!
[11:04] Hort
Th-They aren't stopping!
[11:11] Saybil
Hort! Kudo!
[11:16] Kudo
Are you okay, Saybil?
[11:20] the Tyrant
Oh. Look here.
[11:23] the Tyrant
No escort today!
[11:29] Los
My dear Ludens!
[11:32] ---
Clean up!
[11:43] Los
If such an easy task gets me a
peek at The Grimoire of Zero,
[11:46] Los
then it's not even a question.
[11:48] Los
Right, my dear Ludens?
[11:55] Los
What's this?
[11:57] Los
H-Help me.
[12:01] Los
My goodness. This is an unexpected find.
[12:07] Hort
How is the Tyrant here?
[12:09] Kudo
Hell if I know! But we're rescuing
Saybil no matter who we have to fight.
[12:14] Hort
It's moving!
[12:15] Kudo
Quiet! Just do it already!
[12:18] Kudo
Full power!
[12:19] Hort
Okay.
[12:28] the Tyrant
No incantation?
[12:36] the Tyrant
I see you've improved since last time.
[12:41] Saybil
Please don't move. I can probably
kill you in an instant.
[12:50] Los
What's this?
[12:52] Los
The third-rate servant.
[12:54] Los
Why art thou sleeping out here?
[12:59] Holdem
Why was I sleeping out here?
[13:01] Los
Art thou drunk?
[13:03] Holdem
No. I was about to have the kids
take me to an empty house,
[13:08] ---
when that Uls fellow there showed up...
[13:12] Holdem
He said something about
Saybil being abducted...
[13:16] Holdem
I tried to stop the kids
from going after him.
[13:19] Holdem
But then I...
[13:22] Los
Thou wert put to sleep, with magic.
[13:25] Holdem
So then...
[13:28] Holdem
Oh crap! No!
[13:30] Los
What hast thou so flustered?
'Tis thy trap, is it not?
[13:34] Los
Thou camest all the way out to this village.
[13:37] Los
Thy plan was to cause an incident and
observe whether we could resolve it.
[13:42] Los
As a sort of test, yes?
[13:45] Los
My ducklings assuredly felt wary of you.
[13:52] Holdem
You don't think I might be trying
to actually do something to Saybil?
[13:58] Los
Sorena wouldn't approve.
[14:01] Los
So, what is the issue?
[14:04] Holdem
I used the Tyrant.
[14:06] Los
Thou didst what?!
[14:08] the Tyrant
Then ya shoulda
[14:13] the Tyrant
killed me just now.
[14:15] the Tyrant
In combat...
[14:19] Hort
Sayb!
[14:19] Kudo
Saybil!
[14:21] the Tyrant
whoever hesitates loses!
[14:28] the Tyrant
If ya ain't prepared to kill
when ya have the chance,
[14:31] the Tyrant
it don't matter how strong
your weapon is. It's useless.
[14:35] the Tyrant
I'd say this is within acceptable limits.
[14:38] the Tyrant
Seein' as how ya can fix it all with magic.
[14:49] the Tyrant
The Mask?
[14:51] the Tyrant
Bastard!
[14:53] the Tyrant
Didn't you leave the village?
[14:56] Priest
I'm impressed you knew.
[14:58] Priest
I came back.
[15:05] Priest
My mouse made a big fuss about
a pest entering the village.
[15:12] Priest
Now I can finally see.
[15:16] Priest
Don't worry. I'll take you alive.
[15:19] Priest
There is so much information
[15:21] Priest
to glean from you.
[15:30] Priest
This is within acceptable limits, yes?
[15:32] Priest
Since it can be fixed with magic.
[15:35] the Tyrant
Fighting the Mask in the forest at
night is too big of a disadvantage.
[15:40] the Tyrant
Plus you have reinforcements
coming. I give up.
[15:47] Mercenary
See. I knew the priest would be here.
[15:50] Zero
Quit grumbling, Mercenary.
[15:53] Zero
If we hadn't raced here,
[15:55] ---
our blood-starved priest might
have julienned our assailant.
[16:01] Mercenary
Looks like he's already
been given a rough chop.
[16:04] Priest
That is quite a way to speak
when you two arrived late.
[16:09] Los
Hold it, hold it hold it!
[16:11] Los
You barbarians!
[16:13] Los
'Tis shameful to gang up
on and bully the weak!
[16:17] Holdem
He took out all the students.
[16:20] Holdem
The Tyrant is tougher than I thought.
[16:24] Mercenary
Oh? So you two know him?
[16:30] Zero
Depending on your answer,
[16:31] Zero
we may be send your head back to the
Mooncaller Witch at the Academy.
[16:41] Holdem
Look, the deal with the Tyrant was
he would be spared the death penalty
[16:46] Holdem
if he could bring at least one
student back to the Academy.
[16:50] Los
In other words, this wasn't
a test for the students.
[16:55] Los
It was an inspection of the
village's ability to protect them.
[17:00] Los
That's why he set the Tyrant loose,
[17:03] Los
but the students were wary of Holdem,
who was obviously suspicious.
[17:08] Los
They removed him from the
fight as soon as it started,
[17:12] Los
thus he was unable to restrain
the Tyrant's excessive violence,
[17:17] Los
and he was late to arrive.
[17:21] Priest
Are you incompetent?
[17:22] Mercenary
What are ya, incompetent?
[17:24] Holdem
Yes. I'm incompetent
and a third-rate servant.
[17:28] Zero
It does no good to blame the dog.
[17:31] Zero
If the Tyrant's aim had been murder,
[17:33] Zero
the students would all have been killed.
[17:37] Zero
We have no choice but to recognize
[17:40] Zero
that this inspection fully exposed the
weakness of the village's defenses.
[17:46] Mercenary
We were just short on hands this time
because of the Remnant of Disaster.
[17:52] Priest
More accurate to say we lack fighting power.
[17:55] Priest
If it were just this village,
it would be one thing,
[17:57] Priest
but if we try to protect the surrounding
ones as well, we cannot attend to it all.
[18:01] Mercenary
The towns around us are just
getting dragged into our mess.
[18:06] Mercenary
We can't just leave 'em in the lurch.
[18:09] Zero
If witches bring extra danger and
then do nothing to protect people,
[18:14] Zero
the village may only worsen
the reputation of witches.
[18:18] Holdem
Um, might I be permitted to say somethin—
[18:21] Priest
Keep quiet.
[18:21] Holdem
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[18:22] Mercenary
Incompetence is contagious.
[18:24] Zero
Don't bully him so. Well, let's hear it.
[18:28] Holdem
If you need more fighting power,
please feel free to make use of him.
[18:34] the Tyrant
H-Hold up! That wasn't the deal!
[18:39] the Tyrant
Once I succeeded, my death sentence
was supposed to be commuted—
[18:44] Holdem
You didn't succeed!
[18:46] Holdem
If you want to live, zip it!
[18:56] Hort
No way!
[18:58] Hort
No way! Nuh-uh! Absolutely opposed!
[19:02] Hort
He betrayed the Church, right?
[19:04] Hort
Someone like that will betray us next!
[19:07] Kudo
You betrayed the Church, too.
[19:10] Hort
Kudo, why do you always say the
thing someone least wants to hear?
[19:15] Hort
The Tyrant tried to kill us!
[19:18] Hort
You're telling me to forgive him?
[19:20] Hort
It's better to execute him!
[19:23] Zero
You need not forgive him, antlered girl.
[19:27] Zero
If you desire revenge, I won't condemn you.
[19:31] Zero
However, there is one
thing you must remember.
[19:35] Zero
Witch hunts are revenge for
witches' past wrongdoings.
[19:40] Zero
Those very wrongdoings are why witches
continue to be regarded with suspicion.
[19:46] Zero
The peace between the Church and witches...
[19:48] Zero
Those whose loved ones were killed by
witches find it difficult to accept.
[19:52] Zero
I'm sure you understand their feelings.
[19:55] Zero
That is the very reason the anti-witch
faction hires people like the Tyrant.
[20:00] Zero
The Tyrant has been ordered to serve
this village to atone for his sins.
[20:05] Zero
You must consider the purpose and
significance of executing him now.
[20:14] Hort
But the Tyrant has killed
lots of innocent people, too.
[20:19] Priest
The same is true of me.
[20:22] Priest
I killed anybody the Church ordered me to.
[20:26] Priest
Will you execute me as well?
[20:28] Hort
B-But tha—
[20:29] Lilly
You can't!
[20:31] Lilly
You can't execute the father!
[20:34] Hort
He's not the same as the Tyrant.
[20:37] Los
Well, my dear Ludens is known as the witch
eater and has taken the lives of many witches.
[20:44] Los
If one of their relatives comes for me,
I have no right to complain.
[20:49] Hort
No way! It's obviously not right
for you to be killed, Professor!
[20:54] Kudo
What, so anyone you like is a good person
no matter how many people they've killed?
[21:00] Hort
So you're fine with this?
[21:02] Kudo
As long as he's on our side.
[21:06] Hort
He can't be trusted to be on our side!
[21:08] Hort
He might attack us!
[21:10] Kudo
If he does, we can just kill him then.
[21:13] Kudo
You'll be able to take him
out for sure next time.
[21:16] Hort
But what if he attacks
Sayb while I'm not around?
[21:20] Hort
Sayb will be killed!
[21:22] Saybil
Sorry for not being reliable.
[21:24] Hort
That's not what I was saying.
[21:27] Kudo
Fine. This is a pain in the butt,
so let's just execute him.
[21:31] Saybil
You love to take arguments to extremes.
[21:34] Hort
Argh!
[21:35] Hort
Ugh!
[21:36] Hort
Fine! I'll monitor him, then!
[21:41] Hort
We'll have him live in this bar,
so Mr. Mercenary can monitor him.
[21:46] Hort
And when I monitor him,
I'll work his butt off.
[21:50] Mercenary
Excuse me? He's gonna live in my bar?!
[21:57] Los
Hort, you made a painful decision.
[22:00] Hort
I mean, after what everyone said...
[22:04] Los
You determined that letting the
Tyrant live would be best,
[22:08] ---
and you put your own feelings aside.
[22:12] Los
'Tis a feat even adults
struggle to accomplish.

Yeah. But they're not very good memories.
[00:53] Hort
Do you wanna forget again?
Want a smack to the head?
[00:56] Saybil
No thanks.
[00:57] Saybil
But it barely feels like I remembered.

What?! Um...

I...
[01:26] Saybil
I was wondering what normally
happens when you like someone.
[01:30] Hort
Well... you want to be
special to them, I guess...
[01:36] Saybil
You are special to me, Hort.
[01:39] ---
Is this love?
[01:41] Hort
What?
[01:44] Hort
No. I don't think it is.
[01:48] Saybil
Oh. Sorry.
[01:50] Hort
It's okay!

I'm happy you're asking

Then we can talk.
[05:40] Hort
Professor Los, you won't leave us, will you?
[05:43] Los
Why dost thou ask that?
[05:45] Hort
'Cause teachers run when a
student falls for them, right?
[05:50] Hort
Since it's a burden and a pain.
[05:53] Hort
I know, because something like
that happened at the Church!
[05:58] Los
I should like to dissemble,
but I am fond of keen insight.
[06:02] Los
Just as thou fearest,
I am the type of teacher who runs.

[06:54] Saybil
Crushed by my memories?
[06:57] Zero
Unpleasant memories can at times become a
poison that eats away at you from the inside.
[07:08] Saybil
Why did I suddenly remember?
[07:12] Zero
I imagine because your life was in danger.
[07:15] Zero
In other words, you sought to live.
[07:19] Zero
Young man, you are no longer empty.
[07:23] Zero
You sought a way to fight, even if it meant
dredging up painful memories.
[07:29] Saybil
My mother told me something.
[07:31] Saybil
She said never approach a
witch with eyes like mine.
[07:37] Zero
These eyes are somewhat special.
[07:40] Zero
They are something my brother
and I inherited from our father.
[07:45] Zero
And that brother is your father, Thirteen.
[07:55] Zero
Thirteen and I are each other's
last remaining brethren.
[08:02] Zero
Perhaps that's why he would have done
anything for me, even destroy the world.
[08:08] Zero
Your magic is part of that.
[08:10] Zero
He plotted for it all to be offered up to me.
[08:14] Zero
He must have realized that if his
blood and your mother's combined,
[08:18] Zero
he would obtain a child with limitless magic.
[08:23] Zero
Your mother caught on and fled.
[08:29] Saybil
So then... you're...
[08:31] Zero
That makes me your aunt.
[08:33] Saybil
So there's not really
any danger. Isn't that right?
[08:37] Zero
Even so, most of the pain you've
experienced is my fault.
[08:41] Saybil
It may have been because of you,
but that doesn't mean it was your fault.
[08:46] Saybil
Besides. If not for you,
Professor Zero, I would not exist.
[08:54] Zero
You take after him.
[08:56] Saybil
After my father?
[08:58] Zero
Only in the good aspects, I mean.
[09:01] Saybil
I want to hear about my father.
[09:04] Saybil
Or, I mean, I want to know.
[09:07] Saybil
To know just who I am...
[09:10] Zero
Your father was a thorough rationalist.
[09:14] Zero
If it was rational,
[09:16] ---
he could even work with someone who
was a mortal enemy moments earlier.
[09:19] Zero
But rationality at times leads to cruelty.
[09:24] Zero
As a result of his extreme rationalism,
he committed a grave, irreparable misdeed.
[09:31] Zero
The war.
[09:33] Zero
To obtain a world for witches,
Thirteen sacrificed countless lives.
[09:38] Zero
An evil sorcerer whose name
will go down in history.
[09:41] Zero
That is my brother, your father.
[09:45] Saybil
I feel like I know a little
better what I want to be.
[09:50] Saybil
This morning I went to supply Hort
with magic, but I couldn't do it.
[09:56] Saybil
I felt like I might kill Hort,
and I got scared.
[10:01] Zero
I see.
[10:02] Saybil
But I want to keep being a magic supplier,
[10:07] Saybil
at least during the field program.
[10:10] Zero
For your friends?
[10:12] Saybil
For me.
[10:14] Saybil
Hort and Kudo are going to
teach me magic in exchange.
[10:18] Saybil
So please let me practice on you, Professor.
[10:20] Saybil
Since even if I mess up,
you won't die.
[10:28] Saybil
What? Both hands?
[10:29] Zero
We'll circulate magic between us.
[10:32] ---
Keep adjusting so the amount stays constant.
[10:44] Saybil
Kudo!
[10:47] Zero
Be calm. Don't break your concentration.
[10:49] Zero
Sorcery and magic require concentration.
[10:52] Zero
If you stop your incantation every
time a comrade screams in combat,
[10:57] Zero
you'll lose people you could have saved.
[10:59] Saybil
But...
[11:01] Saybil
I'll become stronger.
[11:04] Zero
Yes. You will indeed get stronger.
[11:07] ---
Perhaps even stronger than I.
[11:10] Los
My goodness.
[11:13] Los
It seems we arrived quite a bit late.
[11:21] Los
Oh, thou art younger than I thought.
[11:25] Los
Thy face was in quite a state last night.
[11:31] Hort
What are you doing, Tyrant? Let go of him!
[11:38] the Tyrant
Okey dokey.
[11:46] Los
My dear Ludens,
[11:49] Los
say hello!
[11:58] Hort
You think he's here on
orders from the Church?
[12:01] Kudo
I bet so. To the Church,
a penniless kid is just a pawn.
[12:07] [Hearthful?]
There are many good-hearted
people within the Church, too.
[12:13] [Hearthful?]
I can't say I approve of
such over-generalization.
[12:17] Los
Ah, if it isn't Lady Hearthful!
[12:20] Los
Shouldst thou not be at the school?
[12:23] [Hearthful?]
I ended class in the morning today.
[12:26] [Hearthful?]
I brought lunch for our patient.
[12:29] [Hearthful?]
Only, I heard a scream on the way,
so I came to investigate.
[12:35] [Hearthful?]
Please forgive me for
essentially eavesdropping.
[12:38] Los
Thou hast a proper sense of
yourself as being protected.
[12:43] Los
Still, lately it smells like
trouble is brewing, does it not?
[12:47] Los
Dost thou not feel it is
time to flee the village?
[12:51] [Hearthful?]
Goodness, no.
[12:53] [Hearthful?]
It is to be expected that the extremists
within the Church would target a witch village.
[12:58] [Hearthful?]
Everyone who came here was
prepared for that possibility.
[13:03] the Tyrant
Whaddya want?
[13:04] [Hearthful?]
As I said, I brought you lunch.
[13:08] the Tyrant
Oh... well, that was... kind of ya.
[13:13] [Hearthful?]
This one is
[13:16] [Hearthful?]
for him.
[13:18] [Hearthful?]
He is still just a kid.
[13:21] [Hearthful?]
Did the extremists not consider
that a child like him would fail?
[13:28] Hort
Good point.
[13:29] Los
He is chum.
[13:32] Los
To the anti-witch faction,
this village is a murky swamp.
[13:36] Los
They do not know what fish
there might be, or how many.
[13:40] [Hearthful?]
So then, he's...?
[13:42] Los
They probably wished to see how this young man
would be killed for attacking with clear hostility.
[13:52] Kudo
He'll get no sympathy from me!
[13:54] Kudo
He tried to stab not just
me, but Professor Los, too!
[13:58] Kudo
He attacked the one he thought
was weakest to break through.
[14:02] Kudo
He'd even have no qualms
killing the village children.
[14:07] Los
Ah, but, Kudo, no one said
anything about sympathy.
[14:11] Kudo
I don't... I didn't...
[14:14] Los
Thou dost, right?
[14:15] Los
Though dost have sympathy for him, right?
[14:19] Los
Very well!
[14:20] Los
I am fond of compassion
that overcomes even hatred!
[14:23] Los
Here, I shall pat thee for it!
[14:25] Hort
I'm jealous!
[14:26] Kudo
Stop it!
[14:27] Hort
I'll show compassion, too! I will!
[14:28] [Hearthful?]
That is bad manners.
[14:30] [Hearthful?]
Would you like to sit and eat at a table?
[14:32] the Tyrant
I'm an Arbiter, you know.
[14:35] [Hearthful?]
Even for Arbiters and witches,
etiquette and manners are important.
[14:40] the Tyrant
Oh? Am I gonna etiquette
my enemies to death?
[14:44] [Hearthful?]
Other people's opinions of you can
be a way of protecting yourself.
[14:48] [Hearthful?]
Manners are a useful and efficient
way of gaining positive regard.
[14:54] the Tyrant
I'm only regarded for killing.
[14:58] [Hearthful?]
You intend to build relationships with
others in this village through killing?
[15:04] the Tyrant
That's my job. Ain't that right, boss?
[15:08] Hort
Your job is protecting, not killing!
[15:12] the Tyrant
Ain't that the same thing?
[15:14] Hort
Not at all!
[15:16] [Hearthful?]
Ah, yes. If your job is to protect the village,
then you need to learn about it.
[15:22] [Hearthful?]
Might I show you around the village?
[15:25] Hort
Huh? U-Um, I think that's
dangerous. He's a killer.
[15:30] the Tyrant
I ain't gonna kill anybody for free.
[15:33] the Tyrant
But if there's money in it, then—
[15:37] [Hearthful?]
I must inform you that
acting fearsome like that
[15:40] [Hearthful?]
will gain you nothing here.
[15:43] [Hearthful?]
No one in this village will fear you.
[15:47] the Tyrant
Oh, is that so?
[15:54] [Hearthful?]
Professor Los, no need to escalate.
[15:58] [Hearthful?]
I'm sure it was just a little test to
see if I really wouldn't be afraid.
[16:04] Los
Do not play games like this again, Tyrant.
[16:07] ---
Next time thy head shall fly.
[16:10] the Tyrant
My bad.
[16:13] [Hearthful?]
Shall we go, then, Mr. Tyrant?
[16:18] Mercenary
Hey, he's just a kid.
[16:21] Mercenary
So the assailant was just some kid.
[16:24] Mercenary
I wanted to get some
information out of him,
[16:28] Mercenary
but this changes the plan.
[16:30] Kudo
What was the plan?
[16:33] Mercenary
Torture.
[16:35] Kudo
N-No torturing!
[16:38] Mercenary
I'm saying I'm not gonna torture a kid.
[16:40] Kudo
No adults, either!
[16:42] Kudo
The plan was to send him to Wenias
once his condition is stable!
[16:47] Kudo
But torture?
[16:49] Kudo
That ain't the rule of law!
[16:51] Hort
W-Wow, Kudo!
[16:53] Hort
You sound super smart!
[16:55] Hort
I agree!
[16:57] Hort
No torture!
[16:58] Mercenary
You're quite right.
[17:00] Mercenary
If torture's out, then this
is a job for the priest.
[17:03] Kudo
The priest?
[17:05] Hort
True. The Father can use verbal torment—
[17:08] Hort
Look out!
[17:11] Priest
I'm surprised. That was intended to hit.
[17:15] Hort
No violence! You call yourself a clergyman?
[17:18] Priest
You never know who could be listening.
[17:22] Priest
If you grasped that better, I would
not need to resort to violence.
[17:29] Priest
Also, look.
[17:31] Priest
He's awake. Has been for a while.
[17:50] Priest
Realize your position,
[17:52] Priest
heretic who comprehends not a single
ounce of the chaste Church's aims.
[17:56] [Kady?]
Damn it! Is everyone in
this village a monster?
[18:00] Priest
What is evil?
[18:03] Priest
Just what
[18:04] Priest
is a monster?
[18:06] Priest
If your head is for show and lacks even
the sense an infant would retain,
[18:11] Priest
shall I cut it off and replace it
with the head of that monster there?
[18:16] Kudo and Mercenary
Does he mean me?
[18:17] Hort and Los
Yikes.
[18:19] Priest
Can the room be made dark?
[18:22] Los
Indeed.
[18:36] Hort
Whoa! I-It's so dark!
[18:39] Los
'Tis roughly a moonlit night.
[18:41] Los
Perhaps a bit too bright
for the priest's eyes.
[18:45] Priest
No. This is enough.
[18:47] Priest
I will ask you several questions,
but you need not answer them.
[18:52] Priest
If you wish to answer, I will not stop you.
[18:55] Priest
But if you lie, I will know.
[19:02] Priest
Were you the only one sent to this
village with the Remnant of Disaster?
[19:09] [Kady?]
Good question.
[19:10] Priest
Affirmed. Well, as anticipated.
[19:14] [Kady?]
What?! I didn't say—
[19:17] Priest
Are further attacks with
Remnants of Disaster planned?
[19:23] [Kady?]
How should I know?
[19:25] Priest
You showed signs of embarrassment.
[19:27] Priest
I see. It appears you really don't know.
[19:30] Priest
Furthermore, you are embarrassed
you weren't informed.
[19:34] Priest
Is there a plan to rescue you?
[19:36] [Kady?]
D—
[19:38] Priest
Strong negative.
[19:39] Priest
It was made clear to you that you
would not be rescued if captured.
[19:44] Hort
What? How does he know? Is it a bluff?
[19:48] Los
Facial expressions.
[19:49] Los
Movements of the pupils, eyelids, and lips.
[19:52] Los
He is reading unconsciously
expressed emotion.
[19:55] Hort
He can do that?!
[19:57] Priest
I have the general picture.
[19:59] Priest
You may let it be light again.
[20:04] Priest
To be frank,
[20:05] Priest
we gained little information.
[20:08] Priest
Nor can we exclude the possibility that the
boy was supplied with false information.
[20:14] Los
From the fact that they acquired
a Remnant of Destruction,
[20:18] Los
a higher-up at the Church is involved.
Someone fairly high up, at that.
[20:25] Priest
Unfortunately.
[20:27] Los
So someone is presenting themselves as
a peace faction, but supporting the extremists.
[20:33] Mercenary
The internal conflict within the
Church is pretty messy right now, isn't it?
[20:37] ---
How alarming.
[20:39] Los
Someone so high up must have better
cards to play than a powerless boy.
[20:44] Los
In other words,
[20:46] Los
further moves ought to be coming.
[20:49] Los
But strangely, there has been no movement.
[20:53] Los
What should be happening, isn't.
[20:55] Los
Which means,
[20:56] Los
the move has already been made in secret.
[20:59] Los
We must assume so.
[21:00] Los
For now, regarding that boy,
[21:03] Los
it may be best to delay his
transfer to Wenias for a bit.
[21:09] Hort
The adults are deciding
everything themselves.
[21:14] Hort
I can fight, too, you know!
[21:17] Hort
Yeah, right.
[21:19] Hort
A student who can't take
responsibility can't do anything.
[21:35] [Hearthful?]
My, how rare for you to come by the school.
[21:40] [Hearthful?]
I was just showing Mr. Tyrant around.
[21:44] Hort
Oh.
[21:45] Hort
What's that they're making?
[21:47] [Hearthful?]
He says it's a trap to catch fish.
[21:50] [Hearthful?]
He apparently worked at a workshop
that made traps for hunting.
[21:54] Hort
Did he say, "traps for hunting people"?
[21:58] [Hearthful?]
Yes. First thing.
[22:02] [Hearthful?]
Apparently he can't help but try to scare me.
[22:05] [Hearthful?]
He's like a little kid.
[22:07] Laios
Look, mister! I finished my trap!
[22:13] the Tyrant
I'd say this looks pretty good.
[22:16] Laios
Ms. Hearthful! I wanna go to the river!
[22:19] [Hearthful?]
A fine idea. Why don't we all
go there together tomorrow?
[22:23] Laios
Yay!
[22:32] [Hearthful?]
I suppose the idea of us going
alone is still a little worrisome.
[22:36] [Hearthful?]
Might I ask you to escort us?
[22:39] Hort
O-Of course!
[22:41] Laios
Are you coming, too, mister?
[22:42] the Tyrant
Depends on the boss.
I don't get to decide.
[22:46] Hort
Of course you're coming, too!
[22:48] Hort
Don't forget, you're my servant!
[22:52] the Tyrant
Sure, sure.
[22:53] the Tyrant
But are ya sure? You want a killer
like me to be around kids?
[22:58] Hort
Hey! Not in front of the children!
[23:01] Laios
Mister, are you gonna kill us?
[23:04] the Tyrant
Nah, I mean... I don't intend to.
[23:07] Laios
Then it's fine for him to be
around us. Right, everyone?
[23:11] Kids
I agree!
[23:11] Kids
Yeah!
[23:14] the Tyrant
What're ya teaching these kids?
[23:17] [Hearthful?]
As I told you.
[23:18] [Hearthful?]
No resident of this village will fear you.
[23:22] [Hearthful?]
If there isn't sufficient reason to fear,
[23:24] [Hearthful?]
we won't be scared of anything.
[23:42] Kudo
The transfer is postponed?
[23:47] [Kady?]
Damn it!
[23:49] Kudo
Hey.
[23:50] Kudo
Come with me.

You aren't worth killing.
[00:07] Kady
My name was supposed to go
down in history for dying here.
[00:14] Kudo
If you wanna go down in history,
do it with great deeds. Not evil ones.
[00:18] Kady
Fighting to eradicate evil is a great deed!

And what is evil to you?
[00:27] Kudo
What are your criteria?

Who is it fine to kill?

Witches and beastfallen.

Oh? You aren't gonna eat?

Wow! It's all gone!
[02:36] Lilly
Tell me, tell me. Which dish was the best?
[02:39] Kady
The best...? I don't know...
[02:43] Kady
They were all great.
[02:46] Kudo
This soup smelled awesome.
[02:49] Lilly
What needed work?
[02:51] Kudo
With the bitterness of this sauce,
[02:54] Kudo
the priest'd probably say,
"Is there poison in this?"
[02:58] Kady
Do you always have such good food?
[03:01] Kudo
On occasion, when the priest is away.
[03:04] Lilly
Since he can't give empty compliments,
he's a perfect taste tester!
[03:08] Kudo
Don't tell the others.
[03:11] Kudo
It's apparently a secret that she
practices cooking for the priest.
[03:15] Lilly
That's right.
[03:17] Kady
Why did you bring me, then?
[03:20] Kudo
It was unbelievably tasty, right?
[03:22] Kudo
Even though you ate with a beastfallen.
[03:26] Kady
Well, I mean...
[03:28] Kady
Yeah...
[03:37] Kady
Sh-She's a mouse?!

No way!

You sure did!

That's not nice!
[03:49] Lilly
Um, I'm sorry.

Well, thanks for the meal.

I wanna do it, too!

I'll give it a try!
[05:22] Los
My, you can even change the shape.
[05:26] Hort
Hey... This is pretty hard.
[05:30] Saybil
Think of it like making certain parts dark.
[05:33] Hort
Oh, I see.
[05:36] Hort
Oh! I can do it! I'm gonna get it!
[05:39] Kudo
This is... really tough!

Even though the spell
is simple, this is difficult.

Too tough for thee, eh, Kudo?

Professor Los.
[05:54] Los
What is it?
[05:55] Saybil
I'd like to get your help

It would be dangerous with people,

[06:42] Saybil
Did I do it wrong?
[06:44] Hort
It might have been a bit... alarming...
[06:49] Saybil
I'm sorry, Professor Los.
Forget this happened.
[06:52] Los
How could I?!
[06:55] (Flashback) Church Official
Stand up, Kady.
[06:57] (Flashback) Church Official
Witches are not compassionate like us.
[07:01] (Flashback) Church Official
Everything is the fault of witches.
[07:04] (Flashback) Church Official
A witch brought the north to ruin.
[07:06] (Flashback) Church Official
You all lost your families
because of a witch.
[07:09] (Flashback) Church Official
We must protect the south.
[07:27] (Flashback) Church Official
Kill witches.
[07:29] (Flashback) Church Official
Otherwise...
[07:30] (Flashback) Kids' Voices (Creepy/distorted)
Kady! Kady!
[07:34] (Flashback) Kids' Voices (Creepy/distorted)
Let's play!
[07:38] Kids' Voices (Normal)
Kady! Kady!
[07:40] Kids' Voices (Normal)
Let's play!
[07:40] Hort
Kady!
[07:44] Hort
Come catch fish with us at the river!
[07:47] Kady
Fish?
[07:49] Children
Fishies! Fishies!
[07:51] Children
Our fondest wishie is to catch a fishie!
[07:55] Child
I'm so excited!
[07:55] Hearthful
We're almost at the river, everyone.
[07:59] the Tyrant
Hey, face forward when you walk.
[08:02] Kady
Traitor...
[08:03] Hort
What?
[08:04] Kady
I'm amazed you can act
all buddy-buddy with him.
[08:08] Kady
You actually trust a traitor?
[08:11] Kudo
I don't trust anybody.
[08:14] Kudo
Including her.
[08:16] Hort
I was raised in the Church, too.
[08:19] Hort
I'm sort of a traitor, as you put it.
[08:22] Kady
What're you talking about?
[08:24] Hort
It's not easy to get people to trust you.
[08:27] Hort
I don't trust the Tyrant one bit, either.
[08:31] Hort
Earning trust is a process!
[08:33] Hort
You gotta make and keep promises!
[08:36] Hort
So, Kady, promise us you won't harm
people who lack that power to fight.
[08:42] Hort
If you'll stick to that,
we'll promise we won't kill you!
[08:52] Hort
Now, let's go!
[08:53] Hort
I hope we catch lots of fish!
[09:02] Saybil
Good morning, Professor Los.
[09:09] Saybil
That's a novel way of getting up.
[09:11] Saybil
I brought some bread.
[09:13] Saybil
Would you like some?
[09:14] Saybil
Oh, I'll make some tea.
[09:19] Los
No, no, 'tis strange!
[09:21] Los
What's going on?
[09:23] Los
Thou sure movest fast.
[09:26] Saybil
I wanted to start my experiment ASAP.
[09:28] Saybil
It's this.
[09:30] Los
What is that? Oil?
[09:32] Saybil
A magic potion.
[09:34] Los
A magic potion?
[09:36] Saybil
I made it based on a book
I borrowed from Professor Zero.
[09:42] Saybil
This book.
[09:44] Los
The handwriting looks like
the scratches of a strangled chicken.
[09:48] Saybil
Oh? You can't read it?
[09:50] Los
Honestly, how canst thou read it?
[09:53] Los
The witch who wrote this has utterly
no intention of letting others read it.
[09:57] Saybil
Sorcerer.
[09:59] Saybil
The person who wrote this book.
[10:01] Saybil
It was the sorcerer Thirteen. My father.
[10:06] Los
Thou knowest about that?
[10:08] Saybil
Yes. I found out yesterday.
[10:10] Saybil
That's not important, though.
[10:12] Los
Not important?
[10:14] Saybil
This book describes a way
to infuse magic into a potion.
[10:19] Saybil
I thought I could apply it to make
a potion that supplies magical energy.
[10:24] Los
Thus thou needest Ludens...
[10:27] Los
Very well!
[10:33] Saybil
Well?
[10:42] Los
He seems happy.
[10:45] Los
Ah, I see.
[10:47] Los
He has more magic.
[10:49] Los
About two mages' worth.
[10:52] Saybil
Huh? That much?
[10:53] Saybil
That's strange.
[10:55] Saybil
I thought I held back quite a bit...
[10:58] Saybil
Maybe I need to change the ingredients...
[11:01] Los
Huh? Hey!
[11:02] Saybil
I'll come again.
[11:04] Saybil
Next time, I'll try making
several kinds of potions.
[11:07] Los
Thou wilt? Make sure to take breaks!
[11:11] ---
I will.
[11:12] Saybil
You show concern for all of us.
That's something I like about you.
[11:16] Los
W-W-Wai—Wha?
[11:19] Los
What madest thou say that?
[11:20] Saybil
Hort said I should tell you
my reasons for liking you.
[11:25] Los
Ah, hah...
[11:27] Los
But then, does logic not dictate
that thou shouldst like Hort,
[11:31] Los
who shows tons of concern for others?
[11:34] Saybil
True...
[11:36] Saybil
Oh, I see.
[11:38] Saybil
I also like how you test
people like that, Professor Los.
[11:44] Saybil
When I see you grinning like,
"I got ya there," I feel goosebumps.
[11:51] Saybil
I like that feeling.
[11:55] Los
Fine. I get it!
[11:57] Los
Just get going already!
[12:00] Saybil
I'll be going, then.
[12:02] Saybil
What will you do?
[12:03] Los
I shall be monitoring the boy
we captured yesterday.
[12:06] Saybil
What? But Hort and the others said
they're inviting him to the river.
[12:11] Los
The river?
[12:18] (Flashback) The Tyrant's Father
Hey!
[12:19] (Flashback) the Tyrant (young)
Oh, Pops.
[12:21] (Flashback) the Tyrant (young)
I've been making the trap
you mentioned this morning.
[12:25] (Flashback) The Tyrant's Father
Who said to make that?!
[12:27] (Flashback) the Tyrant (young)
You did, Pop—
[12:29] (Flashback) The Tyrant's Father
Quit foolin' around makin' crap!
[12:34] (Flashback) the Tyrant (young)
But he told me to make it.
[12:39] (Flashback) the Tyrant (young)
I don't get it.
[12:41] (Flashback) Nobleman
I am told you have a talent for traps.
[12:44] (Flashback) Nobleman
I have clever beasts disturbing my fields.
[12:47] (Flashback) Nobleman
Make me a complex trap.
[12:50] (Flashback) Nobleman
Complex enough to keep
a human from getting out.
[12:53] (Flashback) the Tyrant (young man)
Why come to me?
[12:55] (Flashback) Nobleman
I can tell from your traps that
[12:58] (Flashback) Nobleman
you are a heartless sort.
[13:03] (Flashback) Nobleman
I release criminals in the forest.
[13:05] (Flashback) Nobleman
I tell them they'll be acquitted
if they can escape alive.
[13:09] (Flashback) Nobleman
But since I started using
your traps, we have had
[13:14] (Flashback) Nobleman
not a single one escape.
[13:18] (Flashback) the Tyrant (young man)
A frightened kid makes obvious moves.
[13:22] (Flashback) Nobleman
I wish to make it more interesting.
[13:24] (Flashback) the Tyrant (young man)
So you want to torment them longer?
[13:30] (Flashback) the Tyrant (young man)
It's crystal clear.
[13:36] (Flashback) Priest
The word is that you have
a talent for traps.
[13:40] (Flashback) Priest
Choose.
[13:42] (Flashback) Priest
Die here or live in agony
that makes you pray for death.
[14:00] (Flashback) the Tyrant
It's crystal clear.
[14:04] Laios
I caught one!
[14:05] Laios
Look, I caught a fish, Mr. Tyrant!
[14:08] the Tyrant
You didn't use your trap.
[14:11] Laios
Because it's faster
to grab it with my hands!
[14:13] the Tyrant
These kids have so much freedom.
[14:15] Hearthful
They really do.
[14:18] the Tyrant
"Hearthful" is a northern name, isn't it?
[14:21] Hearthful
Very knowledgeable of you.
[14:23] the Tyrant
You came to a witch village even though
a witch made your home unlivable?
[14:28] Hearthful
Everyone asks that.
[14:32] the Tyrant
And how do ya answer?
[14:34] Hearthful
If a hunter killed one of my family
members, I wouldn't hate all hunters.
[14:40] the Tyrant
If a hunter killed their beloved child,
anyone would hate the profession itself.
[14:47] Hearthful
In the event a hunter killed my child,
I am sure I would become a hunter.
[14:52] Hearthful
And then I would think about how to hunt
without accidentally killing children.
[14:59] Hearthful
That is my nature.
[15:01] Hearthful
It's how I was born and the way I was made.
[15:05] Laios
Ms. Hearthful, c'mere!
[15:07] Hearthful
I'm coming.
[15:14] the Tyrant
The way you were born, eh?
[15:16] the Tyrant
I see. Crystal clear.
[15:20] Hort
Did you fall for her? For the teacher?
[15:24] the Tyrant
Huh?
[15:25] the Tyrant
Seeing someone perfectly put together
like that lose it and scream...
[15:31] the Tyrant
How do I put this...
[15:33] the Tyrant
It gets me worked up.
[15:35] Hort
I'm glad.
[15:38] Hort
It looks like you'll be able to
get along with everyone.
[15:49] Hearthful
Kady, come join us—
[15:57] Hearthful
Kudo! Something seems wrong with Kady!
[16:01] the Tyrant
Get away from him!
[16:12] Kady (Stomach Voice)
I'm hungry.
[16:14] Kady (Stomach Voice)
I wanna eat... I wanna eat!
[16:36] Hort
Ms. Hearthful, come to the riverbank!
[16:38] Hearthful
Mr. Tyrant!
[16:43] Kudo
Come on, Hort!
[16:46] Hort
I'll put him to sleep!
[16:47] Hort
Ravon Y Zaleik!
[16:49] Hort
Beckon to slumber!
[16:50] Hort
Chapter of Capture, verse two!
[16:53] Hort
Culdesomn!
[16:55] Hort
Grant me power!
[16:57] Hort
My name is Hort!
[17:03] Kady (Stomach Voice)
Hungry...
[17:06] Kudo
It's not working!
[17:07] Hort
I know!
[17:09] Hort
I think Kady is probably unconscious!
[17:12] Kudo
What the hell happened to him?
[17:15] the Tyrant
A trap, I bet.
[17:17] Hort
What do you mean, Mr. Know-It-All?
[17:20] the Tyrant
That kid didn't bring just one
Remnant of Disaster with him.
[17:27] the Tyrant
Hort, you take the teacher
and kids back to the village.
[17:30] the Tyrant
I'll kill this thing.
[17:33] Hort
Don't be ridiculous!
You don't have a weapon right now!
[17:38] Hearthful
Leave the children to me!
[17:41] Hearthful
Come, children!
[17:42] Children
Yes, ma'am.
[17:45] Hort
Impressive...
[17:46] Kudo
Hold out your arm, Tyrant. I'll heal you.
[17:49] Hort
Wait, Kudo. Conserve your magic.
[17:54] Kady
Time to dig in!
[17:58] Hort
Tyrant, immobilize Kady!
[18:01] Kudo
Don't let go, even if it kills you.
[18:03] Kudo
It's all over if Hort's
incantation is interrupted!
[18:06] the Tyrant
Damn it!
[18:07] the Tyrant
Wherever I go, I'm never
leaving my weapon behind again!
[18:17] Hort
Maelim Soh Heghans!
[18:19] Hort
Gather, bricks of stone!
[18:22] Hort
Spin a net, O grass and vines!
[18:27] Hort
Close off heaven, earth, and the four winds!
[18:29] Hort
O cradle, take the transgressor
in your embrace!
[18:32] Hort
Chapter of Capture, verse three!
[18:36] Hort
Etorak!
[18:37] Hort
Back away, Tyrant!
[18:39] Hort
Grant me power!
[18:40] Hort
My name is Hort!
[19:02] Hort
He's sealed inside!
[19:12] Kady (Stomach Voice)
I want food!
[19:14] Kady (Stomach Voice)
I want food!
[19:23] the Tyrant
Kill him, or we'll be wiped out!
[19:25] Kudo
Just hold out!
[19:27] Kudo
Once Kady's dead, I'll heal you!
[19:29] Kudo
Hort!
[19:31] Hort
But, Kudo...
[19:33] (Flashback) Hort
We'll promise we won't kill you!
[19:38] Kudo
I know.
[19:43] Kudo
It won't just be you.
[19:45] Kudo
We'll kill him together!
[19:51] Hort
I only have enough magic
for one cast of Flagis.
[19:54] Hort
I'll go all out.
[20:04] Hort
Bag Do Glaht!
[20:06] Hort
Kalpa fire, come forth! Flare and blaze!
[20:10] the Tyrant
You think you can take me out too
by slowing the incantation!
[20:15] the Tyrant
It's crystal clear.
[20:17] Hort
Grant me power!
[20:19] Hort
My name is Hort!
[20:34] Kudo
Hold on, Tyrant!
[20:35] Kudo
Chapter of Protection, final verse!
[20:38] Kudo
Quaocul!
[20:39] Kudo
Grant me power!
[20:41] Kudo
My name is Kudo!
[21:06] Hort
Kudo, look!
[21:12] Hort
Get up, Tyrant!
[21:19] the Tyrant
This ain't good. Run!
[21:22] the Tyrant
Run away!
[21:24] the Tyrant
I can't.
[21:26] the Tyrant
I lost too much blood.
[21:28] the Tyrant
I can't run.
[21:30] Kudo
Quit complaining and suck it up!
[21:32] Hort
If you die, we'll have
healed you for nothing!
[21:36] Kudo
Now stand up, old man!
[21:40] the Tyrant
You idiots.
[21:49] Kudo
Hey! What is it?
[21:56] the Tyrant
Don't move! Keep your heads down!
[22:01] the Tyrant
Here it comes!
[22:03] Los
My dear Ludens,
[22:05] the Tyrant
snack time!
[23:55] Hort
If there were a single
mastermind behind it all
SIGN Next Episode "Determination to Kill"
[23:58] Hort
and killing them would solve everything,
[24:01] Hort
I'd go kill 'em right now.

[00:05] Hort
and killing them would solve everything,
[00:08] Hort
I'd go kill 'em right now.
[00:14] Hort
We were powerless.
[00:16] Hort
We had two mages and even an Arbiter,
[00:21] Hort
and yet we still couldn't save him.
[00:23] Saybil
I should have accompanied you...
[00:26] Kudo
We won't get to work together forever.
[00:30] Kudo
If Hort and I take your magic provision
for granted, we'll be useless.
SIGN Here lies Kady
[00:37] Kudo
Ain't that right, Hort?
[00:43] Hort
You shouldn't feel bad about that, Sayb.
[00:55] Kudo
A dragon.
[00:57] Kudo
It's the Dragon Conqueror King!
[01:09] Kudo
Dragon Conqueror King.
[01:11] Dragon Conqueror King
Ah, you three.
[01:13] Dragon Conqueror King
You have orders to return to Wenias.
[01:16] Dragon Conqueror King
Before long, this village
[01:17] Dragon Conqueror King
will be a battlefield.
[02:51] Saybil
What do you mean by "orders to return?"
SIGN Episode 11 Determination to Kill
[02:54] Kudo
What about what we want?
[02:55] Hort
And what's this about a battlefield?
[02:58] Zero
It is as you were told.
[03:00] Zero
We cannot let students risk
their lives on the battlefield.
[03:03] Kudo
Don't choose now to start
acting like a normal teacher!
[03:07] Kudo
If there's gonna be a battle here,
then you need all the help you can get!
[03:10] Hort
That's right!
[03:12] Zero
You have been given instructions.
[03:13] Zero
Follow them, or you'll be expelled.
[03:16] Saybil
Then I'll drop out.
[03:18] Hort
Sayb?!
[03:19] Saybil
But if I prove useful in battle,
[03:22] Saybil
then please readmit me
in recognition of my achievements.
[03:25] Zero
Don't be ridiculous.
[03:27] Zero
That's quite a farce.
[03:29] Saybil
This war itself is a farce to begin with.
[03:33] Saybil
Professor Los said that when mages
are punched, they can't punch back.
[03:39] Saybil
In that case, this war is a
thoroughly defensive battle.
[03:43] Zero
And?
[03:45] Saybil
Professor Los said witches
lay traps when they fight.
[03:48] Saybil
In which case, we just need
to lay traps that won't kill people.
[03:52] Saybil
If we lay 100 traps that each
incapacitate 10 people,
[03:55] Saybil
we can bring a force of 1,000 to zero.
[03:57] Zero
How will you make those traps?
[04:00] Zero
To disable someone is far more
difficult than to kill them.
[04:03] Saybil
With magic potions.
[04:06] Zero
You made one?
[04:07] Zero
A potion that supplies magic?
[04:10] Saybil
It's still unfinished,
[04:12] Saybil
but I can perfect it with Hort and Kudo.
[04:16] Saybil
And so, if we consult the Tyrant,
[04:19] Saybil
we can reduce the casualties due to magic.
[04:24] Zero
If you managed that, I'd have to
graduate you, not expel you.
[04:32] Los
A graduation exam is a fine idea!
[04:34] Los
I am ever fond of innovative endeavors!
[04:39] Zero
Dawn Witch, this is an Academy matter.
[04:42] Los
If thou sendest the students back,
I too shall leave!
[04:46] Los
To me, this village's disappearance would
hurt no more than the bite of a stray dog.
[04:51] Saybil
That sounds pretty painful.
[04:54] Los
Thou art right!
[04:55] Los
I have taken a liking to this village!
[04:58] Los
Let me protect it! Let me fight!
[05:01] Los
Please! Please!
[05:03] Zero
All right, Dawn Witch. Don't throw a fit.
[05:06] Zero
I'll see what the
Mooncaller Witch has to say.
[05:11] Hort
Hooray!
[05:12] Los
Ah, my heart is dancing!
[05:15] Los
I shall thrust those bloodthirsty
fighters into a farce
[05:19] Los
and, in front of everyone, make them
a century-long subject of mockery!
[05:32] Albus
Great. That sounds fantastic!
[05:36] Albus
Come. We have a grand performance to put on.
[05:39] Holdem
This doesn't really change anything.
[05:42] Holdem
You were planning from the beginning
to conduct the fight so no one died.
[05:46] Holdem
So? What flavor should it have?
[05:49] Albus
Think about it from
the audience's perspective.
[05:52] Albus
Instead of just silently ignoring them,
[05:54] Albus
it's more entertaining to tease
the advance army and drive them away.
[05:58] Holdem
Then it should really pop.
[06:01] Albus
I'll leave the casting to you.
[06:03] Albus
I need to arrange an audience for the show.
[06:10] Priest
It's an odd feeling, isn't it?
[06:14] Priest
To think former Arbiters would
engage Church believers in battle.
[06:19] the Tyrant
It's not like I was ever a believer.
[06:23] the Tyrant
I was just on death row.
[06:26] Priest
I hear you protected the children.
[06:30] Priest
Loux Krystas gave me a report.
[06:34] Priest
She said you're more
compassionate than she thought.
[06:39] the Tyrant
I just protected my owner, like a tool.
[06:42] Priest
I see. You claim not to
follow your own will.
[06:47] Priest
And if the previous owner
wishes to use the tool?
[06:52] the Tyrant
The current owner will probably break it.
[06:56] Priest
I am concerned
[06:58] Priest
that the tool might suddenly break
and injure the owner.
[07:03] the Tyrant
Well, the owner decides how much
faith to place in their tools.
[07:09] Priest
And how does the owner do that?
[07:11] the Tyrant
The only way is to try the tool out, right?
[07:13] Priest
In a safe environment?
[07:16] the Tyrant
That's what I would do.
[07:18] Priest
Where are you going?
[07:19] the Tyrant
The teacher called for me.
[07:21] Priest
I see. It appears you've
grown quite close with her.
[07:25] the Tyrant
Giving a compliment wouldn't kill you.
[07:28] Priest
Indeed, it is a joyous thing.
[07:32] Priest
May the divine protect you.
[07:38] Hort
Amazing!
[07:39] Hort
This really does replenish magic!
[07:41] Hort
This is amazing, Sayb!
[07:43] Hort
So this is what you were making.
[07:46] Hort
You weren't just staying away from us.
[07:49] Saybil
What?
[07:50] Hort
Uh, how did you make it?
[07:53] Saybil
Well, in Professor Zero's library,
there was a book my father wrote.
[07:58] Saybil
I used that.
[07:59] Kudo and Hort
What?!
[08:00] Kudo
Y-Y-Yer pops was a sorcerer?!
[08:04] Saybil
I'll tell you two this
because I want you to know.
[08:07] Saybil
My father
[08:09] Saybil
is Thirteen.
[08:12] Hort
Thirteen? He's... the bad guy
who caused the war, right?
[08:17] Saybil
Yeah.
[08:20] Kudo
What the hell? It's like you're
a chosen one or something!
[08:24] Kudo
Of course you'd get special treatment!
[08:26] Kudo
You all-talent, no-hard-work jerk!
[08:30] Saybil
Hey!
[08:31] Saybil
I'm working hard now, too.
[08:33] Saybil
Fairly hard.
[08:35] Hort
No...
[08:36] Hort
Maybe more like finally working hard?
[08:40] Saybil
Yeah, I'm finally working hard.
[08:45] Children
Mr. Tyrant, thank you for saving us!
[08:52] Laios
Okay, eat up! Enjoy them!
[08:55] Laios
You don't look happy.
[08:57] Hearthful
Goodness. Maybe it was a little
early for something like this.
[09:00] Hearthful
It seems as though Mr. Tyrant
is so happy that he's stunned.
[09:04] Hearthful
Go ahead, children.
You can eat the treats now.
[09:08] Children
Yes, Ms. Hearthful!
[09:10] Children
It looks so good!
[09:12] Hearthful
We all discussed how to thank you.
[09:16] the Tyrant
Oh, you did...
[09:19] Hearthful
I told them that Kady was receiving
treatment in a bigger town.
[09:24] the Tyrant
Oh, you did...
[09:26] Hearthful
Are you going to try
the treats the kids made?
[09:30] the Tyrant
I don't—
[09:41] Hearthful
Your mind seems elsewhere.
[09:44] Hearthful
Would you like to talk to me about it?
[09:46] the Tyrant
You can't help.
[09:48] Hearthful
Don't say that. Try me.
[09:50] the Tyrant
You'll regret it.
[09:52] Hearthful
I prefer to take action and regret it,
rather than do nothing and regret it.
[09:59] the Tyrant
What will make you and
the kids suffer, cry, and scream?
[10:05] the Tyrant
It's constantly on my mind.
[10:08] the Tyrant
Will you tell me, Teach?
[10:12] Hearthful
Are you...
[10:14] Hearthful
saying you like me?
[10:18] the Tyrant
Wha—
[10:19] the Tyrant
What?!
[10:20] Hearthful
It's okay. Don't be afraid.
[10:23] Hearthful
It's the same for everyone in the village.
[10:25] Hearthful
When they gain something precious,
they imagine the moment it's destroyed,
[10:31] Hearthful
so they can find a way to protect it.
[10:34] the Tyrant
To protect it?
[10:36] Hearthful
Thank you.
[10:37] Hearthful
You're trying to protect us, aren't you.
[10:56] Hort
You...
[10:59] Hort
...are just a tool, with no
will of your own, right?
[11:04] Hort
You know, I'm not a big fan of Ms. Hearthful.
[11:09] the Tyrant
I don't know what the Mask said to you,
[11:12] the Tyrant
but I'll cut to the chase.
[11:20] the Tyrant
I could do it.
[11:23] Hort
What, so you're saying you could
even kill the person you fell for
[11:27] Hort
if you were ordered to?
[11:29] the Tyrant
That's how I was trained.
[11:31] Hort
Your tortured face suggests otherwise.
[11:33] the Tyrant
Test me, then, if you have doubts.
[11:37] Hort
I just figured I'd torment you a little.
[11:43] Hort
Sayb is relying on your traps,
[11:47] Hort
to use in combination with his potions.
[11:49] Hort
But you see,
[11:51] Hort
that means your traps are
a cornerstone of the plan, doesn't it?
[11:55] Hort
Frankly, I really don't like that,
[11:57] Hort
but I couldn't oppose it.
[12:01] Hort
Even human scum like you can protect people
when their lives are suddenly in danger.
[12:07] Hort
You see, that really mixed things up for me.
[12:11] Hort
If you have feelings like a person,
[12:14] Hort
then more and more people
will become important to you.
[12:17] Hort
If so, you'll suffer your whole life
under the weight of everything you took.
[12:24] Hort
That'll be so very sad for you!
[12:29] Hort
If living will make you suffer,
then keeping you alive is worth it.
[12:33] Hort
And so, I won't kill you.
[12:35] Hort
I'll even watch your back.
[12:39] Hort
Bye.
[13:00] Los
So? Didst thou give her
the idea for all that?
[13:04] Priest
I was certain that you had
given her the idea.
[13:07] Los
Do proper maintenance,
entertain good doubts, then trust.
[13:13] Los
No wonder Sayb and Kudo
can be so carefree right now.
[13:16] Priest
Indeed. They are very observant.
[13:19] Los
Just like thee, eh?
[13:21] Priest
They'd be upset if you told them that.
[13:25] Los
Oh? I would take it as a compliment.
[13:32] Los
I guess he really is
the right man for the job.
[13:35] Mercenary
It makes you want to call him "boss."
[13:37] Villager
Hey, boss, I have a question
about this part of the blueprint.
[13:40] the Tyrant
Do that to the west.
[13:43] Los
They're already calling him that.
[13:45] Hort
So,
[13:46] Hort
why don't we target the Flagis spell
at only their equipment?
[13:50] Kudo
It's threatening enough.
[13:51] Kudo
The most effective thing is to heavily
injure them and then heal them.
[13:55] Saybil
But won't that turn into
a massacre if it goes wrong?
[13:58] Hort
Hmm. How about...
[14:01] Zero
Hold on, students.
[14:03] Zero
If we add another method
of combined magic...
[14:07] Mercenary
They're really into this.
[14:09] Los
What? Art thou not?
[14:11] Mercenary
We can only hope our opponents are weak.
[14:15] Mercenary
If the odds turn against us,
we won't have the luxury of not killing.
[14:19] Priest
They are exceedingly weak.
[14:22] Priest
Farmers, poor people, the down
and out. About 10,000 in total.
[14:26] Los
Ten thousand?!
[14:27] Los
'Tis quite the number.
[14:29] Mercenary
Killing people like that
would make us the bad guys.
[14:33] Priest
That is no doubt their aim.
[14:35] Lilly
There you are!
[14:37] Lilly
There's food prep to do!
[14:40] Mercenary
Right, of course. I'm coming.
[14:43] Priest
Lilly, tonight the Dragon Conqueror King
is going to take the villagers
[14:47] Priest
and fly them to Loutra Cathedral.
[14:49] Priest
You leave the village with them.
[14:53] Lilly
Uh-Uh!
[14:54] Priest
Excuse me?
[14:54] Lilly
I'm really strong.
[14:57] Lilly
I'm gonna fight with you and protect you!
[15:00] Lilly
Aren't I?
[15:02] Mercenary
You certainly are.
You're stronger than me, after all.
[15:05] Los
What's this?
[15:07] Los
This cute little mouse girl is that strong?
[15:12] Los
Thou art like me!
[15:16] Los
Even softer than I imagined!
[15:18] Los
Priest, you scoundrel.
[15:20] Los
Thou art fully appreciating such
a wonderful creature every day?
[15:24] Los
How darest thou?
[15:25] Priest
I am not.
[15:26] Priest
You're making her uncomfortable.
[15:28] Priest
I'm separating you.
[15:30] Mercenary
Oh, you aren't? I always assumed you—
[15:36] Lilly
You big dummy!
[15:38] Lilly
I hate you!
[15:40] Mercenary
Wait!
[15:42] Priest
Lilly, come back!
[15:43] Los
'Tis futile.
[15:44] Los
This farce will go down in history.
[15:47] Los
'Twould be sad to leave someone
who wishes to participate out.
[15:51] Priest
She has no such wish.
[15:55] Los
What does she have, then?
[15:57] Priest
Wouldn't it be love for me?
[16:00] Priest
What is wrong?
[16:02] Los
I was stunned by that extreme confidence!
[16:04] Los
But on to a more important matter.
[16:08] Los
This is the Remnant of Disaster
that ate through Kady's stomach.
[16:12] Los
This is just a model.
[16:14] Los
If I had not exterminated it,
[16:17] Los
it would have spread out infinitely
from the village and devoured the populace.
[16:22] Los
Which raises a question.
[16:25] Priest
A question?
[16:27] Los
Did the Church extremists intend to take
themselves out along with the witches?
[16:32] Priest
No one is foolish enough to spread a plague
without first preparing a cure.
[16:38] Los
And supposing that the upper
echelons of the Church,
[16:41] Los
perhaps not even the bishops,
know how to deal with this?
[16:45] Priest
Then whoever knows how to stop it
is the one who spread it.
[16:52] Los
The dragon is flying
to Loutra Cathedral tonight, yes?
[16:55] Los
Might there be a seat reserved for me?
[16:59] Eudorite
Don't dispatch the troops?!
[17:01] Eudorite
Are you telling the Church & Mage Knights
to ignore this oppression of witches?
[17:06] Holdem
Calm down.
[17:08] Holdem
They won't be fighting,
but we will send troops.
[17:11] Eudorite
What do you mean?
[17:13] Holdem
We'll be taking care of those
who flee the witch village.
[17:20] Holdem
We'll treat their injuries, feed them,
and let them listen to the band.
[17:26] Holdem
They're idiots whipped up by simplistic
speeches claiming "witches are all bad."
[17:32] Holdem
If we treat them well,
they'll be on our side.
[17:35] Eudorite
But then...
[17:37] Eudorite
This will wind up requiring even more
soldiers than if we annihilated them.
[17:41] Holdem
Yes. Which is why I ask you, Knight Captain.
[17:46] Holdem
How many can you get?
[17:48] Cal
Ria, a request from the Church & Mage
Knights to dispatch the Magic Medic Unit.
[17:54] Faeria
Church extremists are marching
against Zero and Mercenary's village
[17:58] Faeria
with a force 10,000 strong.
[18:00] Faeria
How awful.
[18:02] Faeria
Those 10,000 people are going to die.
[18:05] Cal
Yeah, they don't do well with holding back.
[18:08] Faeria
Will things be okay if I leave a single
medic here as a proxy in my absence?
[18:12] Cal
We have so many more magic medics now,
[18:15] Cal
you could even abdicate your
position as Saint if you'd like.
[18:20] Faeria
Hey! Don't rib me like that!
[18:23] Faeria
From Faeria, the Ruler
of the Holy City Acdios.
[18:26] Faeria
An emergency message to Torres,
Head of State of the Creon Republic.
[18:33] Torres
Fantastic!
[18:34] Torres
A fantastic venture!
[18:36] Torres
I have always thought
that war ought to be conducted
[18:39] Torres
through a game played on a board.
[18:41] Torres
But to conduct that game
on the battlefield...!
[18:45] Albus
Ow. Not so hard, Torres.
[18:48] Torres
Now, about that Remnant of Disaster
from your report the other day.
[18:54] Torres
We have determined where it came from.
[18:56] Albus
Really?
[18:57] Torres
Indeed!
[19:00] Torres
It started with a noble
who loved stories of adventure.
[19:03] Torres
He hired troops, marched to the north,
and then lost half his troops in a day.
[19:10] Torres
In the bodies they managed to bring back,
Remnant of Disaster seeds were found.
[19:16] Albus
So, the noble went crying to the Church,
[19:18] Albus
which took them and secretly
passed them to the extremists.
[19:21] Albus
Which means...
[19:23] Albus
a great number of Remnants
of Disaster could still appear.
[19:28] Torres
Take this.
[19:31] Torres
The noble brought back roughly
500 bodies from the north.
[19:36] Torres
Supposing they all contained
Remnants of Disaster,
[19:42] Torres
when and where would they use them?
[19:46] Albus
We may have been underestimating them.
[19:48] Cal
Albus! I didn't know you were here.
[19:52] Cal
Torres, I brought an emergency
message from Ria.
[19:55] Cal
Here it is.
[19:56] Albus
Cal! Perfect timing!
[19:58] Albus
Could you fly north right now
and call back the Mage Commander?
[20:02] Cal
The north?!
[20:04] Cal
Ask the Dragon Conqueror King!
I still wanna live!
[20:07] Albus
Don't worry! You'll be fine.
[20:09] Albus
The Commander will make sure to protect you.
[20:13] Albus
Go as fast as possible! Right now!
[20:15] Torres
How merciless...
[20:17] Albus
Well, Torres, you gather the audience.
[20:21] Albus
I need to return to
the academy and inform Zero.
[20:26] Laios
Sayb.
[20:30] Saybil
Uls. Laios.
[20:32] Laios
I'm leaving the village tomorrow,
even though I actually wanna stay and fight.
[20:37] Laios
But since I'm still a kid...
[20:40] Saybil
Of course.
[20:42] Laios
But I'll grow up and come
back as fast as I can!
[20:47] Saybil
I'll be waiting, for when
you come back as an adult.
[20:51] Laios
Make sure you hold out until I come back.
[20:56] Mercenary
The outcome of war is largely
determined by preparation.
[21:00] Mercenary
How many troops you've mustered.
How strong a fortress you've built.
[21:05] Mercenary
The other side has made
preparations to kill us.
[21:07] Hort
Ready!
[21:09] Mercenary
But we've been preparing to not kill them.
[21:14] Mercenary
If we fail, we'll end up killing people.
[21:20] Saybil
Professor Zero, if I may.
[21:27] Zero
Young man, what are you doing?
[21:30] Saybil
This is the most rational move.
[21:32] Saybil
You have an obligation
[21:33] Saybil
to do everything in your power to protect
our futures and the future of mages.
[21:38] Saybil
As such, even if my
individual future is ruined...
[21:42] Hort
Sayb!
[21:50] Zero
How much magical energy to give me
is your decision, young man.
[21:56] Zero
I shall accept it.
[21:59] Saybil
I'm going full throttle.
[22:14] Zero
Ludicrous! Just how far does it go?
[22:25] Saybil
P-Professor Zero?
[22:27] Zero
Do you... feel okay?
[22:30] Saybil
I feel a little lighter.
[22:33] Saybil
So this is what it feels like
to have less magic.
[22:37] Zero
I was underestimating you...
[22:41] Zero
You will one day make a name
for yourself as a sorcerer.
[22:45] Zero
Just as I am known as the Mud-Black Witch,
[22:47] Zero
and Albus is known as the Mooncaller...
[22:50] Zero
The Abyss Sorcerer.
[22:52] Zero
When someone eventually
inquires for your name,
[22:57] Zero
that is what I shall call you.
[23:00] Saybil
Um... I...
[23:03] Kudo
Loosen up! Stand tall and proud!
[23:06] Hort
You don't need to be anxious!
[23:08] Hort
It's for after you've accomplished
something so great people ask who you are!
[23:12] Kudo
That's right.
[23:13] Zero
And if you mess up in this war,
[23:15] Zero
then all three of you
will be expelled together.
[23:17] Saybil; Kudo; and Hort
What?!
[23:27] Los
A demon-possessed, huh?
[23:30] Los
Looks like they're not quite
as ragtag as we expected.
[23:37] Los
Witness, my friend.
[23:41] Los
Thou, too, wilt surely
appreciate this farce.
[23:48] Los
My dear Ludens,

[01:53] Commander B
We're lucky to have our lives.
[01:55] Commander B
The witches just showed us mercy.
[02:14] Zero
Now, then, this is the current situation.
[02:17] Zero
In part because of the students' traps,
the 10,000 foot soldiers have been routed.
[02:24] Hort
All right!
[02:26] Zero
One company, however, has skillfully
avoided the traps and continues its advance,
[02:32] Zero
nevertheless.
[02:34] Mercenary
The beastfallen mercenary group, eh?
[02:37] Zero
What's more, in all likelihood,
a demon-possessed is among them.
[02:41] Saybil
Are demon-possessed strong?
[02:44] Zero
They are beastfallen that can use certain
magic infinitely and without incantation.
[02:51] Priest
Good grief.
[02:52] Priest
That is generally not a foe one
should fight in small numbers.
[02:57] Mercenary
If you're scared, ya coulda
evacuated with the villagers.
[03:01] Priest

Where'd it come from?
[03:43] Beastfallen Mercs
How?
[03:51] Boss (Demon-possessed)
Killing you or keeping you alive...
[03:53] Boss (Demon-possessed)
Which will make them fight harder?
[03:57] Lilly
K-Killing me!
[04:00] Boss (Demon-possessed)
Okay. In that case...
[04:13] Lilly
Father!
[04:14] Priest
Never say that again!
[04:16] Priest
Never say you should be killed!
[04:19] Boss (Demon-possessed)
It's not regenerating.
[04:21] Priest
My weapon carries a witch curse
and Church consecration.
[04:25] Priest
It should prove effective
against a demon-possessed.
[04:28] Boss (Demon-possessed)
Hmm... That hurts.
[04:45] Lilly
Father, his arm is back!
[04:48] Priest
I can tell that much even without seeing it.
[04:50] Priest
Stay quiet, or you'll die.
[04:59] Mercenary
Oops.
[05:02] Mercenary
My bad. I got some on you.
[05:03] Mercenary
So this guy's the demon-possessed?
[05:10] Boss (Demon-possessed)
This is getting slightly interesting.
[05:21] Lilly
They're all coming back to life!

Y-Yes, Father!

Uh-oh, now he's mad.
[05:44] Mercenary
I'll take the demon-possessed.
I'll let you have the rest.
[05:47] Mercenary
Let's get started.
[06:07] Beastfallen A
What?!
[06:15] the Tyrant
You fell right into it!
[06:17] the Tyrant
It was basically a kid's trap.
[06:20] Beastfallen A
Tyrant, you bastard! You betrayed us?!
[06:26] Beastfallen A
They're using magic!
[06:31] Beastfallen A
Kill those three!
[06:40] Beastfallen A
Spread out!
[06:42] Beastfallen A
There are only four of 'em! We can
overwhelm them with our numbers!
[06:47] Zero
Are you certain about that?
[06:49] Zero
At a rough glance,
[06:51] Zero
I'd say the horned girl made 30,
the lizard made 10,
[06:54] Zero
and the young man made five.
[06:57] Zero
What matters most is not how many
you create, but how many hit.
[07:05] Beastfallen A
Wh-What was that?!
[07:07] Beastfallen A
Run!
[07:07] Zero
Aim carefully, students.

We're not hitting as many
as I thought we would.
[07:31] Kudo
Because they took shelter,
using trees and boulders as shields.
[07:36] Zero
Your opponents are experienced warriors.
What is your next move?
[07:40] Beastfallen G
Damn it! Those brats!
[07:42] Beastfallen B
Kill 'em!
[07:46] the Tyrant
Take this!
[07:56] the Tyrant
Hey! One's headed your way!
[07:59] Beastfallen B
Ha-hah!
[08:01] Hort
Sayb!
[08:02] Saybil
Don't worry. I've got this.
[08:13] Hort
Wow, Sayb! A new move!
[08:15] Kudo
D-Don't accidentally touch me, dude!
[08:18] Hort
Then I'll bring out my trump card!
[08:27] Hort
Ta-dah!
[08:28] Hort
A no-incantation Flagis
with ultra-precise targeting!
[08:40] Hort
Oh, snap...
[08:41] Hort
I-I overdid it, a little.
[08:44] Kudo
I swear...
[08:45] Kudo
I've got it.
[08:57] Zero
Now,
[08:58] Zero
tell me, beastfallen soldiers.
[09:00] Zero
What is your next move?
[09:19] Hort
What was that all of a sudden?
[09:27] Kudo
You okay, old man?
[09:29] Mercenary
Who're ya callin' old man?
I'll wring your neck!
[09:36] Mercenary
You piece of shit!
[09:45] Mercenary
It's no use. I can't kill him dead.
[09:51] Mercenary
Damn.
[09:52] Mercenary
Sorry, Witch! Give me a little help!
[09:56] Zero
I shall handle it.
[09:57] Zero
I am in top form now, after all.
[09:59] Zero
Students, I shall set a bad example for you.
[10:04] Zero
Mercenary, on my signal,
[10:06] Zero
retreat outside the wall.
[10:08] Mercenary
H-Hey! I didn't ask you to go that far!
[10:13] Zero
Ard Gehrd In De Cor Dia Zea.
[10:19] Zero
In the name of the King of Despair who leered
from the crossroads of desire and longing,
[10:24] Zero
come forth from the mud-black
abyss, O Gate of Decay!
[10:29] Zero
Servants of strife bound
by contract of blood and flesh,
[10:34] Zero
Descend on this fool's wild banquet and feast!
[10:37] Zero
Get back, Mercenary!
[10:39] Mercenary
You got it!
[11:00] Zero
Forbidden Chapter, final page!
[11:02] Zero
Segtor Medis!
[11:04] Zero
Grant me power, for I am Zero!
[11:20] Zero
Arisen dead,
[11:22] Zero
it's mealtime!
[11:54] Hort
Is this magic, too?
[11:56] Zero
If an outstanding mage
goes down the wrong path,
[11:59] Zero
they could easily bring the world to ruin.
[12:02] Zero
So...
[12:04] Zero
Don't go astray.
[12:08] Zero
It would take a bit of work to vanquish you.
[12:19] Torres
My, how delightful!
[12:21] Torres
If it's a show like this, I would
welcome one every year!
[12:27] Albus
This is pretty expensive,
so I'd rather it not be every year.
[12:31] Torres
You have the VIPs of the Seven Great
Cathedrals here to observe these exercises?
[12:35] Albus
Yep. All of them.
[12:37] Torres
And the culprit?
[12:38] Albus
We've identified him.
[12:39] Albus
All that's left is to create
irrefutable circumstantial evidence
[12:43] Albus
in front of the largest audience possible.
[12:45] Torres
If it wouldn't be a problem,
might I hazard a guess?
[12:48] Holdem
Hey! You're too close to her!
[12:53] Albus
Bingo. You've—
[12:56] Albus
Something's coming.
[13:07] Albus
Remnants of Disaster!
[13:09] Albus
Those vermin eat people!
[13:11] Torres
Protect the Bishops!
[13:13] Albus
Mage Commander Amnir!
[13:16] Amnir
Mages!
[13:17] Amnir
Prepare to cast Firam!
[13:19] Amnir
Reduce the foes before us to ash!
[13:21] Raul
Princess,
[13:23] Raul
I believe you have already
noticed, but isn't that...
[13:30] Amnir
Bag Do Wal Fel Do Al!
[13:33] Amnir
O great serpent that slumbers in inferno!
[13:36] Amnir
Awaken from the cradle of
assembled hellfire and incinerate!
[13:40] Amnir
Chapter of Harvest, page seven!
[13:42] Amnir
Firam!
[13:44] Amnir
Grant me power!
[13:54] Amnir
What?
[14:00] Raul
Yeah. As I thought.
[14:02] Amnir
Raul!
[14:18] [Bishop Ideamor]
Gather near me, all of you!
[14:24] [Bishop Ideamor]
If you come near me, you'll be safe. Come!
[14:28] Albus
Bishop Ideamor,
Your Excellency, what is this?
[14:31] [Bishop Ideamor]
Chief Mage Albus...
[14:34] [Bishop Ideamor]
It appears the witch
of the village you trusted
[14:36] [Bishop Ideamor]
is willing to produce great casualties
to protect her village.
[14:42] [Bishop Ideamor]
I harbored suspicions from the beginning.
[14:45] [Bishop Ideamor]
Therefore I prepared a countermeasure.
[14:48] Albus
A countermeasure?
[14:49] Torres
You know of a way to repel
these foul creatures?
[14:53] Torres
Why did you not speak up earlier?
[14:56] [Bishop Ideamor]
I wanted to believe...
[14:59] [Bishop Ideamor]
In the goodness of the village witch,
[15:01] [Bishop Ideamor]
as well as the ability
of Wenias's Chief Mage.
[15:08] [Bishop Ideamor]
Unfortunately, this is the reality.
[15:10] [Bishop Ideamor]
Now do come to my side, Mr. Torres.
[15:13] [Bishop Ideamor]
The ward's effects do not extend
beyond my reach, at best.
[15:18] Albus
You know,
[15:20] Albus
you can't create a ward without
knowing the name of the foe's demon.
[15:25] Albus
Bishop Ideamor, Your Excellency,
[15:27] Albus
how do you possess knowledge of which demon
[15:30] Albus
is the source of that Remnant of Disaster?
[15:34] Albus
Please do explain.
[15:37] Albus
Because a noble's private
soldiers discovered it
[15:40] Albus
and "certain Church extremists"
had secreted it away,
[15:44] Albus
none of the other bishops
had seen it before.
[15:47] Albus
So how did Your Excellency prepare a ward
[15:50] Albus
against that Remnant
of Disaster ahead of time?
[15:55] Bishop of Loutra Cathedral
Bishop Ideamor...
[15:58] [Bishop Ideamor]
No... I...
[16:04] [Bishop Ideamor]
They're here! The R-Remnant of Disaster!
[16:12] [Bishop Ideamor]
How can this be?
[16:14] [Bishop Ideamor]
I am in possession of a ward!
[16:16] [Bishop Ideamor]
Why isn't it working? My ward!
[16:19] [Bishop Ideamor]
My ward!
[16:33] Los
Boo!
[16:35] Los
Did I startle thee?
[16:42] Torres
A powerful performance!
[16:44] Torres
I nearly believed a swarm of Remnants
of Disaster had actually rushed in!
[16:53] Los
Once the curtain rises,
even if the start time is far off,
[16:57] Los
performers will naturally appear.
[16:59] Los
Thy performance was quite fine,
[17:02] Los
comical as it was.
[17:04] [Bishop Ideamor]
Wh-What are you talking about?
[17:07] Los
I am fond of humans' flexibility
to correct the error of their ways.
[17:11] Los
I shan't kill thee.
[17:13] Los
Shouldst thou demonstrate obedience,
[17:15] Los
thou mayest keep thy
position as bishop as well.
[17:19] Los
As I thought, you rigged your peasant
soldiers with Remnants of Disaster, too...
[17:25] Los
knowing that if those
who fled turned into monsters,
[17:28] Los
thou couldst blame it on the witches.
[17:32] Los
Thy influence shall prove useful
in stopping the south's witch hunts.
[17:37] Los
However...
[17:40] [Bishop Ideamor]
Th-That's...
[17:43] Los
My dear Ludens left this thing
that was in Kady's stomach uneaten.
[17:48] [Bishop Ideamor]
Kady?
[17:51] Los
Eat it.
[17:52] [Bishop Ideamor]
What?!
[17:53] Los
Go on.
[17:54] [Bishop Ideamor]
I-I can't!
[17:55] Los
Why not?
[17:56] Los
Didst thou not feed this
to people seeking salvation?
[18:01] Los
Telling them it was a "divine blessing"?
[18:05] Los
Eat it. That is necessary to forgiving thee.
[18:09] Priest
P-P-Please, sp-spare—
[18:12] Los
Here!
[18:14] Los
Swallow it.
[18:15] Los
One nice gulp.
[18:21] Los
Very well! Forgiven!
[18:30] Woman 1
They gathered 10,000 people
and couldn't subdue one village?
[18:35] Woman 1
Pathetic!
[18:36] Man 1
The witches didn't inflict a single casualty.
[18:39] Man 1
How compassionate of them!
[18:41] Woman 2
I heard those scoundrels brought
a Remnant of Disaster down from the north.
[18:47] Saybil
The large-scale military action
the anti-witch faction took
[18:52] Saybil
ended as an amusing farce to be
passed down through generations.
[19:00] Albus
Well, everything worked out!
[19:02] Albus
What's the saying:
"After rain comes fair weather"?
[19:05] Albus
All three of you truly performed admirably!
[19:10] Albus
Now, as for the reason
I summoned you three here...
[19:15] Albus
Ta-dah! Your diplomas!
[19:18] Albus
Whoo!
[19:22] Albus
Congratulations!
[19:26] Albus
Huh?
[19:26] Albus
Why don't you look happy?
[19:28] Saybil
We thought we might be getting tested again.
[19:31] Hort
And that we'd fail if we were
too happy about it.
[19:34] Kudo
Yup.
[19:35] Albus
Oh, Holdem!
[19:38] Albus
The students have lost
their capacity to trust!
[19:42] Holdem
You're the reason they lost it, my lady.
[19:45] Hort
Hey, Headmaster.
[19:47] Hort
Now that we've graduated,
you'll help find us a job, right?
[19:52] Albus
Oh? You're interested?
[19:54] Hort
I am!
[19:56] Kudo
I wanna enlist with
the Church & Mage Knights.
[19:59] Saybil
I think I'd like to research
magic a little more.
[20:03] Albus
What if I told you I had
the perfect jobs for you?
[20:10] Saybil
And so the three of us returned
to field program village to gather our things.
[20:19] Zero
Go ahead. Take it.
[20:21] Zero
The book is yours.
[20:24] Saybil
But... to you, this is a memento
of your brother, isn't it?
[20:29] Zero
It's also a memento of your father.
[20:32] Zero
Besides, I never managed to decipher it.
[20:36] Saybil
Um, at the end it says, "To my brethren."
[20:41] Saybil
That means you, right, Professor Zero?
[20:45] Zero
My brother was always a little bothersome.
[20:48] Saybil
Not that. The numbers.
[20:50] Saybil
Look at the numbers for the allotments
for the potions in the book.
[20:54] Saybil
Turn "13" to "0."
[20:56] Saybil
If you do...
[20:59] Saybil
The allotments on every page change, see?
[21:03] Zero
Ridiculous! It was that simple?
[21:06] Saybil
It's simple, but it's funny.
[21:09] Saybil
It's a code that's impossible to break
if you don't know Thirteen wrote the book.
[21:15] Saybil
I'm glad you're the one who had
this book, Professor Zero.
[21:25] Zero
Goodbye for now, my dear nephew.
[21:31] Saybil
Aunt Zero... should I call you that?
[21:39] Zero
Take care, you three.
[21:45] Hort
You're really gonna leave
the Tyrant in this village?
[21:49] Hort
Isn't that dangerous?
[21:50] the Tyrant
It's not dangerous! Just trust me already!
[21:55] Hort
Never gonna happen.
[21:56] Lilly
Here. Eat this on the road.
[21:59] Kudo
Lilly, I'll miss you!
[22:04] Priest
What are you, Kudo's mom?
[22:07] Priest
I'm not one for long goodbyes.
[22:10] Priest
Be on your way.
[22:13] Saybil
Laios.
[22:15] Laios
You said you'd go on a journey with me!
[22:18] Saybil
I'll come back to get you,
[22:20] Saybil
if you haven't forgotten me
once you've grown up.
[22:25] Laios
I'm already halfway to being
a grown-up, you know!
[22:29] Saybil
You're right.
[22:32] Hort
The time went by so fast.
[22:34] Kudo
Yeah, even though so much happened.
[22:38] Kudo
Still, do you think our
next job will go okay?
[22:43] (Flashback) Saybil
The Forbidden Library?
[22:45] (Flashback) Albus
Yes.
[22:46] (Flashback) Albus
You'll gather and bring back information
about Remnants of Disaster.
[22:51] (Flashback) Albus
To be honest, the mission
is deadly dangerous.
[22:57] Saybil
I'm incredibly happy I get to be
with the two of you after graduation.
[23:01] Saybil
I love you both.
[23:04] Kudo
How can you say something
so embarrassing, dude?
[23:08] Hort
Why are you making me like you even more,
[23:11] Hort
when you're not gonna have feelings for me?
[23:13] Hort
Just why?
[23:15] Kudo
That's right! That's cruel, dude!
[23:17] Saybil
That wasn't my inten—
[23:19] Saybil
Oh, sorry, my motion sickness is here.
[23:21] Kudo and Hort
Already?!
[23:23] Kudo
O-Open the window!
[23:24] Hort
Barf outside, Sayb! Outside!
[23:25] Dragon Conqueror King
Hey! Don't be so rowdy in the carriage!
[23:28] Dragon Conqueror King
It makes flying difficult!
[23:34] Saybil
I'd love to see Professor Los.
