The Dawn of the Witch
I can’t remember. Who am I? What am I? Saybil is a student at a magic academy who has no memories of anything from before he joined the school. Not understanding why he's there, the time he spends at the academy feels hollow and empty. And since he doesn't know how to work hard, his grades are always the lowest in his year. Then, one day, the school headmaster, Albus, orders Saybil to participate in a dangerous special training. "I want you to spread the use of magic in an area where they hold witch hunts."

[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

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!

Now, see here!

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!

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.

What is this?
[05:45] Los
Thou didst not serve me tea,

[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!

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

[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.

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!

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!

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.

kids' legs. Is that what you want?
[19:25] Hort
Stay put.

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.

Father, I'm back!

Laios.

I was worried. You just disappeared.

[00:06] Hort
What?
[00:07] Saybil
You know about that?

Of course the residents of the target village

[00:15] Priest
Are you simpletons?
[00:18] Priest
I beg your pardon.

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!

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.

In order to be helpful mages,

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

to serve as an assistant at the clinic.
[00:21] Saybil

Morning!
[00:22] Saybil
And I run a magic shop out of this house,

where I supply magic to those who need it.

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!

[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.

[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.

Come on.

Yes!

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

Yeah. But they're not very good memories.

Want a smack to the head?

No thanks.

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?

What?
[01:44] Hort
No. I don't think it is.
[01:48] Saybil
Oh. Sorry.

It's okay!

Since it's a burden and a pain.

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.

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

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

Who is it fine to kill?

Witches and beastfallen.

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

No way!

You sure did!

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

Well, thanks for the meal.

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!

This is... really tough!

Too tough for thee, eh, Kudo?

[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"

and killing them would solve everything,
[24:01] Hort
I'd go kill 'em right now.

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.

My dear Ludens,

That if we kill the head witch,

[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

It will be more entertaining
that killing her here.

Did ya hear that, mouse?

I can't wait—

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.

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.

[07:12] 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.
