**[00:02] Saybil**
*I can't remember...*
**[00:07] Zero**
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!
**[17:51] The Tyrant**
What?!
**[17:53] The Tyrant**
Shit. Gimme that!
**[18:00] Hort**
Chapter of Hunting,
**[18:01] Hort**
final verse!
**[18:03] Hort**
Flagis!
**[18:04] Hort**
My name is Hort!
**[18:15] The Tyrant**
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.
**[18:31] Saybil**
*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!
**[23:56] Los**
'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?

**[23:55] Los**
So fluffy! I want him, too!
**[23:59] Zero**
No. He is *my* mercenary.

Huh? And who art *thou*?

**[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!
***SIGN*** Next Episode "I Decide Who's Worthy"
**[23:58] Los**
Hort, calm down.

Address my death already!

**[00:01] (Flashback) Zero**
Your eyes
**[00:03] (Flashback) Zero**
are the same as mine, young man.
**[00:18] Saybil**
*I remember...*
**[00:22] Saybil**
*I remember her.*
**[00:34] Zero**
Come.
**[00:37] Zero**
I have been waiting for you.
***SIGN*** Episode 5 I Decide Who's Worthy
**[02:11] Zero**
What do you mean?
**[02:14] Zero**
Who are you?
**[02:16] Los**
Keep calm.
**[02:17] Los**
A witch's eyes house magical power.
**[02:20] Los**
If thou art not careful,
thou shalt be bewitched.
**[02:26] Zero**
You're in the way.
**[02:35] Saybil**
Professor Los!
**[02:38] Saybil**
Professor Los!
**[02:40] Saybil**
Professor Los!
**[02:42] Zero**
A pretender who cannot even use sorcery
calls herself a witch and stands at your side.
**[02:48] Zero**
I am exceedingly displeased.
**[02:51] Zero**
Young man, you are exceptional.
**[02:55] Zero**
Better than the pretender you hold.
**[02:57] Zero**
Better than the insects who
swarmed to you for your magic.
**[03:04] Saybil**
That's...
**[03:06] Saybil**
What'd you do to Hort?
**[03:08] Zero**
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.

**[00:01] Saybil**
*Two months have passed since we arrived.*
**[00:03] Saybil**
*In order to be helpful mages,*
**[00:04] Hort**
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.
**[00:16] Saybil**
*Kudo is using the healing magic he excels at*
**[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,*
**[00:24] Kudo**
'Sup.
**[00:27] Saybil**
*where I supply magic to those who need it.*
**[00:30] Hort**
Sayb!
***SIGN*** Saybil's Magic Shop
**[00:32] Hort**
I enthusiastically seek your
magic supply services again!
**[00:40] Hort**
Yes, yes, yes!
**[00:43] Hort**
I'm being filled up!
**[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—
**[01:09] Kudo**
Gross...
**[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!

**[23:58] Uls**
Laios, stay away from Saybil.
**[24:01] Laios**
What? How come?

**[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.
**[07:43] the Tyrant**
Careless of ya.
**[07:47] the Tyrant**
To be alone at night like this.
**[08:03] (Flashback) Young Saybil**
Yet another person you love
is gonna die because of you.
**[08:08] (Flashback) Young Saybil**
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.
**[09:06] (Flashback) Young Saybil**
Mom!
**[09:23] (Flashback) Witch**
Now, come along.
**[09:28] (Flashback) Witch**
Show me.
**[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.
**[22:20] Hort**
Professor Los!

**[00:01] Holdem**
You really don't want to come back with me?
**[00:03] Holdem**
I'll take you to the Forbidden
Library, as promised.
**[00:06] Los**
Right now I am more preoccupied with
my ducklings than *The Grimoire of Zero*.
**[00:12] Los**
They grow dramatically
before one knows it.
**[00:15] ---**
I can't take my eyes off them.
**[00:17] Holdem**
Well, to you, a few years
is like the blink of an eye.
**[00:22] Los**
True.
**[00:23] Los**
I didn't see thee for a short
time and thou hast grown old.
**[00:27] Los**
The next time I see thee,
thou mightest be dead of old age.
**[00:31] Holdem**
I always look young and spry!
**[00:44] Hort**
You got your memories back?!
**[00:48] Saybil**
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.
**[01:01] Saybil**
I thought things would be
different once I remembered.
**[01:04] Saybil**
But I still know nothing...
**[01:06] Hort**
What do you mean?
**[01:11] Saybil**
What is it like to have
feelings for someone?
**[01:14] Hort**
Huh?!
**[01:16] Saybil**
Professor Los says that
you're in love with me.
**[01:21] Hort**
What?! Um...
**[01:22] Hort**
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!
**[01:52] Hort**
I'm happy you're asking
me for love advice, Sayb!
**[01:56] Hort**
Oh, how about this.
**[01:58] Hort**
Who comes to mind when
you think you might die?
**[02:02] Saybil**
When I think I might die?
**[02:09] Saybil**
Oh...
**[02:10] Saybil**
I think I might like Professor Los.
**[02:19] Hort**
I get that.
**[02:21] Hort**
I adore Professor Los, too!
**[02:25] Hort**
You can always talk to me, so promise me!
**[02:29] Hort**
That you'll come to me for love advice first!
**[02:34] Saybil**
Th-Thanks.
**[02:36] Saybil**
I wish there were something
I could do for you, too.
**[02:40] Hort**
How about a morning magic supply?
Is that okay?
**[02:44] Hort**
Thanks!
**[02:45] Saybil**
Sure.
**[02:57] Saybil**
I can't!
**[02:58] Hort**
What?
**[03:00] Saybil**
Sorry, Hort.
**[03:02] Saybil**
I need to go see Professor Zero.
***SIGN*** Episode 9 A Stone Cast Into the Pond
**[04:51] Saybil**
*I think I might like Professor Los.*
**[04:57] Los**
Yes! I shall pretend I never heard that!
**[05:00] Hort**
Professor Los! Professor Los!
**[05:02] Hort**
Sayb says he likes you!
**[05:08] Hort**
P-Professor Los?
**[05:13] Los**
Hort, one should not go around blabbing
someone else's feelings to others.
**[05:29] Saybil**
Professor Zero,
**[05:31] Saybil**
I, um...
**[05:34] Zero**
Sit down, young man.
**[05:36] ---**
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.
**[06:08] Hort**
No! Please, no!
**[06:10] Hort**
I don't want you to leave, Professor!
**[06:13] Hort**
And it would be so sad for Sayb, too,
if the person he likes disappears!
**[06:18] Los**
That's why I was going to pretend
not to have heard anything...
**[06:22] Los**
Worry not. I have yet to
tire of observing you three.
**[06:32] Zero**
It happened sooner than I expected.
**[06:35] Zero**
And your reaction is calmer
than I feared it would be.
**[06:38] Saybil**
But I was frantic when I got here.
**[06:41] Zero**
True, you were.
**[06:44] Zero**
But you weren't trembling with fear,
**[06:47] Zero**
nor were you a captive of despair.
**[06:49] Zero**
You have gained the strength not
to be crushed by your memories.
**[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.

**[00:01] Kady**
You aren't gonna kill me?
**[00:03] Kudo**
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!
**[00:24] Kudo**
And what is evil to you?
**[00:27] Kudo**
What are your criteria?
**[00:28] Kudo**
Who is it fine to kill?
**[00:32] Kady**
Witches and beastfallen.
**[00:34] Kudo**
How many witches
and beastfallen do you know?
**[00:40] Kady**
Hey! Where are we going?
**[00:43] Kudo**
Follow me.
***SIGN*** Episode 10 Snack Time
**[02:19] Kudo**
Oh? You aren't gonna eat?
**[02:33] Lilly**
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?!
**[03:39] Kady**
No way!
**[03:41] Kady**
I ate food made by a mouse?
**[03:43] Kudo**
You sure did!
**[03:47] Lilly**
That's not nice!
**[03:49] Lilly**
Um, I'm sorry.
**[03:51] Lilly**
You can puke it up if you're grossed out!
**[03:56] Kady**
That would... be a waste.
**[03:59] Kudo**
Well, thanks for the meal.
**[04:02] Lilly**
I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!
**[04:09] Kady**
Um, you don't need to apologize.
**[04:13] Kady**
Uh... It was better
than anything I've ever eaten.
**[04:19] Kady**
Thank you for the meal.
**[04:23] Lilly**
Come back again sometime!
**[04:26] Kudo**
It's pointless to try to escape.
**[04:28] Kudo**
Just go to sleep.
**[04:33] Kudo**
What's your name?
**[04:36] Kady**
K-Kady.
**[04:38] Kudo**
I'm Kudo.
**[04:40] Kids**
That's a weird name.
**[04:41] Kudo**
I'll knock your head off!
**[04:47] Kady**
What a nice room...
**[04:55] Kady**
I guess I ate too much.
**[04:58] Kady**
It was all a lie.
**[05:04] Saybil**
Verse one, Solm!
**[05:07] Saybil**
Grant me power!
**[05:09] Saybil**
My name is Saybil!
**[05:13] Saybil**
Professor Zero taught me
how to exert control.
**[05:17] Hort**
Wow! How do you do that?
**[05:19] Hort**
I wanna do it, too!
**[05:21] Hort**
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!
**[05:43] Hort**
Even though the spell
is simple, this is difficult.
**[05:45] Saybil**
I should have gone to
Professor Zero sooner.
**[05:49] Los**
Too tough for thee, eh, Kudo?
**[05:53] Saybil**
Professor Los.
**[05:54] Los**
What is it?
**[05:55] Saybil**
I'd like to get your help
with an experiment.
**[05:58] Saybil**
It would be dangerous with people,
so I'd like to use the Staff of Ludens.
**[06:02] Los**
Very well!
**[06:04] Los**
I am fond of the passion to improve!
**[06:08] Saybil**
I also need to say something.
**[06:10] Los**
I am in a fine mood today. Go ahead.
**[06:16] Saybil**
I like you.
**[06:19] Los**
Ver—
**[06:24] Los**
A-Art thou trying to make me blush?
**[06:26] Los**
I adore my students as well.
**[06:29] Saybil**
No. I mean, like, I want to marry you.
**[06:33] Saybil**
Like, I want to be your mate.
**[06:38] Hort**
Hold on, Sayb!
**[06:39] Hort**
Love is a negotiation!
**[06:41] Hort**
You can't just push your side!
**[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.
**[24:04] Hort**
Next episode: "Determination to Kill."
**[24:06] Los**
My dear Ludens, say hello.

**[00:02] Hort**
If there were a single mastermind
behind everything
**[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,
**[23:52] Los**
say hello!
**[23:55] Los**
What dost thou think is required
to beat an enemy without killing them?

**[00:06] Company Leader**
Do you think it's true, sir?
**[00:08] Company Leader**
That if we kill the head witch,
we'll be given land from the village?
**[00:14] Commander A**
What is it?
**[00:17] Commander A**
A... A rat?
**[00:19] Soldiers**
Wh-What's going on?
**[00:22] Soldiers**
Rats!
**[00:23] Soldiers**
They're huge!
**[00:27] Commander A**
We're changing our route!
**[00:28] Commander A**
Right! Circle to the right!
**[00:33] Commander A**
Are the troops in the rear still with us?
**[00:49] Soldiers**
What?
**[00:51] Soldiers**
My hands!
**[00:53] Soldiers**
My legs!
**[00:54] Soldiers**
What even happened?
**[00:55] Soldiers**
What's going on?
**[00:56] Commander A**
This is absurd...
**[01:11] Company Leader**
Commander! Look!
***SIGN*** Boo! Did we startle you?
**[01:37] Commander B**
Wh-What?!
**[01:39] Soldiers**
What happened?
**[01:40] Soldiers**
What on earth was that?
**[01:41] Soldiers**
Was that magic?
**[01:44] Soldiers**
This is what witches can do?
**[01:46] Commander B**
We're being toyed with?
**[01:50] Commander B**
Retreat.
**[01:51] Soldier D**
Sir?
**[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**
I reflexively stayed out
of concern for my frien—
**[03:09] Priest**
Lilly!
**[03:10] Priest**
You fool!
**[03:12] Hort**
Professor Zero!
**[03:14] Zero**
The start of the battle has been signaled.
**[03:17] Zero**
Steel your resolve!
**[03:21] Beastfallen D**
Boss! I caught her alive.
***SIGN*** Episode 12 The Beginning of the Adventure
**[03:24] Beastfallen D**
Now what?
**[03:25] Boss (Demon-possessed)**
We take her to the village
and eat her in front of them.
**[03:29] Boss (Demon-possessed)**
It will be more entertaining
that killing her here.
**[03:34] Beastfallen D**
I like it!
**[03:35] Beastfallen D**
Did ya hear that, mouse?
**[03:37] Beastfallen D**
I can't wait—
**[03:41] Beastfallen Mercs**
What was that?
**[03:42] Beastfallen Mercs**
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!
**[05:28] Priest**
Lilly, hide in the treetops.
**[05:29] Lilly**
Y-Yes, Father!
**[05:33] Priest**
It's true that I am not strong,
**[05:37] Priest**
but I cannot stand being taken lightly.
**[05:40] Mercenary**
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.
**[07:11] Hort**
Zahard Rohud!
**[07:12] Hort**
Run my quarry through!
**[07:14] Hort**
Chapter of Hunting, verse two!
**[07:17] Hort**
Steim!
**[07:18] Hort; Kudo; and Saybil**
Grant me power!
**[07:29] Hort**
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.
