# 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."

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

**[00:10] Nobleman**
Time to move out already.
**[00:12] Soldier**
Yes, sir!
**[00:18] Hort**
Do you think Kudo died?
**[00:21] Saybil**
I would guess that Kudo can regrow his tail.
**[00:27] Hort**
We should take it with us, right?
**[00:30] Hort**
His tail...
**[00:33] Hort**
It's cold and slippery...
**[00:36] Hort**
I don't hate it.
**[00:40] Saybil**
Hort, look.
**[00:41] Saybil**
On the ground.
**[00:44] ---**
These are...
**[00:46] Saybil**
Three sets of footprints.
**[00:48] Saybil**
One is Kudo, and one is Professor Los.
**[00:52] Saybil**
The last one is the witch hunter.
**[00:54] Saybil**
I think.
**[00:56] Hort**
But that means... there's only one enemy.
**[01:01] Hort**
And yet, even with the advantage of magic,
Kudo chose to flee rather than fight.
**[01:07] Hort**
It might be best to turn back.
**[01:10] Hort**
This is probably a professional.
**[01:12] Saybil**
A professional?
**[01:14] Hort**
Remember from class?
**[01:17] Hort**
The former death-row inmates,
recruited by the Church to hunt witches.
**[01:22] Hort**
It's an Arbiter from Dia Ignis!
**[02:59] Hort**
They'll stop at nothing to kill a witch.
***SIGN*** Episode 2
Don't Call Me a Traitor
**[03:04] Hort**
They don't care how many
innocent people may die.
**[03:07] Hort**
That's how they've been trained.
**[03:10] Saybil**
But Dia Ignis was dismantled.
**[03:13] Hort**
Just because the organization is gone
doesn't mean the people in it went away, too!
**[03:19] Saybil**
Hort...
**[03:24] Underling 1**
Damn! Where'd he go?
**[03:26] Underling 2**
We need to find him, fast!
**[03:28] Underling 1**
Hey!
**[03:28] Underling 2**
Oh, right. That was close.
**[03:31] Underling 1**
Let's go!
**[03:34] Kudo**
I hope those two got away safely.
**[03:40] The Tyrant**
Now, where are they hiding?
**[03:46] Student 2**
Kudo.
**[03:47] Student 1**
They're gonna find us...
**[03:50] (Flashback) Kudo**
Small fry who can't cast
aren't even worth protecting.
**[03:54] (Flashback) Student 1**
H-Hey!
**[03:57] (Flashback) Kudo**
Don't follow me. You're dead weight!
**[04:03] Kudo**
What is that rope?
**[04:11] Kudo**
A freaking trap?!
**[04:22] Hort**
I've met one before.
**[04:26] Hort**
Just once, when I was little.
**[04:29] Hort**
I went to a nearby village to see a friend.
**[04:33] Hort**
That's when...
**[04:36] (Flashback) The Tyrant**
Whad'ya want? Ya got a friend in this heap?
**[04:40] (Flashback) The Tyrant**
If ya can't prove they're not a witch,
I'll have to burn *you*, too.
**[04:48] (Flashback) Hort**
I-I have no...
**[04:53] (Flashback) Hort**
friends here!
**[04:55] Hort**
I ran away.
**[04:57] Hort**
Even though my friend was killed,
I was scared...
**[05:01] Hort**
I lied to protect myself...
**[05:05] Hort**
If it was an Arbiter that attacked Kudo,
**[05:08] Hort**
we'll be no help whatsoever!
**[05:11] Hort**
So let's go back!
**[05:14] Hort**
Sayb, was that...?
**[05:16] Saybil**
Yeah.
**[05:19] Saybil**
I think it'd be best to run.
**[05:21] Hort**
Yeah.
**[05:23] Saybil**
Professor Los might get mad if we show up.
**[05:26] Hort**
Th-That's true. So let's—
**[05:29] Saybil**
But...
**[05:30] Saybil**
we have to help.
**[05:32] Hort**
What?
**[05:33] Saybil**
Hort, if your friend had still been alive,
I don't think you would've run.
**[05:38] Saybil**
I'm sure you would've tried to
help while holding back tears,
**[05:41] Saybil**
just like now.
**[05:44] Hort**
Sayb...
**[05:55] Kudo**
Damn it!
**[05:56] Kudo**
I gotta get out of here.
**[06:05] Kudo**
Hell, it was just a rope.
**[06:08] The Tyrant**
So we meet again, lizard boy.
**[06:13] Kudo**
The Dia Ignis Arbiter!
**[06:16] The Tyrant**
The Church calls me the Tyrant.
**[06:20] The Tyrant**
Ya fell right into 'em, huh?
**[06:22] The Tyrant**
These simple traps.
**[06:24] The Tyrant**
Are ya scared?
**[06:26] The Tyrant**
Ya gotta be.
**[06:27] The Tyrant**
Any step could set off a trap.
**[06:31] The Tyrant**
Not knowing stops you in your tracks.
**[06:34] Kudo**
* My attack magic didn't work*
* on this guy yesterday,*
**[06:38] Kudo**
*so I won't go on the offensive.*
**[06:40] The Tyrant**
You entered my hunting grounds.
**[06:46] Kudo**
Solm!
**[06:56] The Tyrant**
So you can run, eh, Mr. Lizard Mage?
**[07:00] Kudo**
Impossible!
**[07:02] The Tyrant**
Ya know,
**[07:04] The Tyrant**
you're awfully slow!
**[07:13] The Tyrant**
Huh.
**[07:15] The Tyrant**
I guess being a beastfallen and a mage
don't necessarily mean you're strong.
**[07:21] The Tyrant**
What's this?
**[07:22] The Tyrant**
The wound is closed?
**[07:26] The Tyrant**
I bet the Church's researchers
would love to have ya as a lab rat.
**[07:31] The Tyrant**
Hey! One of you out there!
**[07:33] The Tyrant**
Fetch me a cage!
**[07:39] Kudo**
*Why me?*
**[07:41] Kudo**
*Why is it always me?*
**[07:43] Kudo**
*After I managed to escape that place...*
**[07:46] Kudo**
*After I've come so far...*
**[07:50] Kudo**
*No.*
**[07:50] (Flashback) Kudo**
No.
**[07:51] Kudo**
*No! No! No!*
**[07:51] (Flashback) Kudo**
No! No! No!
**[07:57] (Flashback) Man**
Now, witness as I return his arms to normal!
**[08:02] Kudo**
*I refuse to go back to living in a cage!*
**[08:06] Kudo**
*I thought I'd become strong.*
**[08:09] Kudo**
*I thought I could protect others.*
**[08:11] Kudo**
*I can't even protect myself!*
**[08:14] (Flashback) Kudo**
I don't need an escort.
**[08:17] (Flashback) Albus**
Listen, Kudo. The world can be harsh.
**[08:20] (Flashback) Albus**
But you don't have to bear
the burden all on your own.
**[08:25] (Flashback) Kudo**
Oh? Who's gonna shoulder it for me, then?
**[08:29] (Flashback) Albus**
Remember this:
**[08:31] (Flashback) Albus**
As long as you are a student
of my academy, I will not forsake you.
**[08:37] (Flashback) Albus**
Loux Krystas is a little odd,
**[08:40] (Flashback) Albus**
but she's a good witch.
**[08:43] Kudo**
*If I'd gone with them, would I—*
**[08:47] Kudo**
*Would someone have chosen...*
**[08:49] ---**
*to protect a guy like me?*
**[08:55] The Tyrant**
Hey. Ain't ya heard of futile resistance?
**[08:59] The Tyrant**
Don't waste my time.
**[09:02] The Tyrant**
Ya hear me?
**[09:09] The Tyrant**
Well? Now do you underst—
**[09:12] The Tyrant**
Hey, now.
**[09:14] The Tyrant**
Oh, screw it!
**[09:16] The Tyrant**
I'll crush your skull and
offer 'em your corpse!
**[09:20] Los**
Hold thy horses!
**[09:27] The Tyrant**
What was that?!
**[09:28] Los**
I swear.
**[09:31] Los**
Attacking a stray duckling.
Thou hast no shame.
**[09:37] Los**
My dear Ludens, say hello!
**[09:48] Los**
Let me guess.
**[09:49] Los**
Thy capital crimes were pardoned
when Dia Ignis was disbanded,
**[09:53] Los**
but with no skills but
killing, thou wast destitute,
**[09:56] Los**
and now servest the anti-witch faction?
**[09:59] Kudo**
H-How come y-you're here?
**[10:02] Los**
'Tis a teacher's duty.
**[10:04] Kudo**
But...
**[10:06] Los**
Silence! Just stand back!
**[10:08] The Tyrant**
You...
**[10:10] The Tyrant**
That staff... Is that the Staff of Ludens?!
**[10:13] Los**
Indeed!
**[10:15] Los**
For *I* am the pact-holder
of the Staff of Ludens,
**[10:19] Los**
the Dawn Witch, Loux Krystas.
**[10:22] Los**
And at the moment, I am a teacher
to the Magic Academy's ducklings!
**[10:35] Los**
Back, murderous mad dog loosed
from the Church's chains!
**[10:43] The Tyrant**
Damn it!
**[10:51] Kudo**
I-Incredible!
**[10:54] Los**
I harbor no fondness for conflict.
**[10:56] Los**
Shouldst thou retreat now,
I shan't take thy life.
**[11:00] Saybil**
Professor Los!
**[11:02] Los**
That's not good.
**[11:04] Hort**
Kudo! Where are you?
**[11:09] Hort**
Professor Los!
**[11:11] Los**
Why did you come? Flee!
**[11:18] Saybil**
Look out.
**[11:23] The Tyrant**
Let me thank you.
**[11:24] The Tyrant**
So nice of you to show up.
**[11:27] Hort**
S-Sayb!
**[11:29] The Tyrant**
Don't move!
**[11:42] The Tyrant**
I'll snap this twerp's neck!
**[11:44] The Tyrant**
Got that, escorting professor?
**[11:49] Hort**
P-Professor Los.
**[11:51] Los**
What would that gain thee, Arbiter?
**[11:55] Los**
The moment you end these children's lives,
**[11:58] Los**
thy life shall end as well.
**[12:01] The Tyrant**
This can end without all that killing.
Throw down your staff.
**[12:06] The Tyrant**
If I can get the Staff of Ludens and
**[12:09] The Tyrant**
its pact-holder in exchange
for letting the twerp go,
**[12:12] The Tyrant**
then that's a bargain.
**[12:15] Los**
I'm afraid I cannot afford that bargain.
**[12:19] The Tyrant**
Then we all die together!
**[12:32] Los**
Stop!
**[12:39] Los**
There. Now unhand Sayb.
**[12:48] The Tyrant**
Are you kidding?
**[12:50] The Tyrant**
The pact-holder of the Staff of
Ludens is playing teacher for real?
**[12:56] Hort**
Professor Los! Don't worry
about us. Just get him!
**[12:59] The Tyrant**
Shut up!
**[13:01] The Tyrant**
Listen good, Teach. Step away from the staff.
**[13:05] The Tyrant**
Hey, stop lying there.
**[13:08] The Tyrant**
Bring me that staff!
**[13:11] The Tyrant**
Wrap it with this.
**[13:14] Saybil**
B-But...
**[13:15] The Tyrant**
It's special consecrated cloth.
**[13:18] The Tyrant**
When wrapped in it, the Staff of
Ludens ain't nothin' but a stick.
**[13:29] The Tyrant**
What'd I tell ya?
**[13:31] The Tyrant**
Hey, tie up Teach over there,
**[13:34] The Tyrant**
Hort.
**[13:38] The Tyrant**
C'mon, missy. No need to resist.
**[13:42] The Tyrant**
You can cut the act now.
**[13:45] The Tyrant**
Go on. Tell 'em...
**[13:47] The Tyrant**
that the Church sent
you to the Magic Academy
**[13:51] The Tyrant**
as a spy for the anti-witch faction!
**[13:54] Hort**
S-Stop!
**[13:58] Hort**
*I was called the child of a demon.*
**[14:01] Hort**
* At a young age, I suddenly*
* started growing horns.*
**[14:06] Hort**
*My mother told me...*
**[14:08] (Flashback) Hort's Mother**
Always keep a smile on your face.
**[14:11] (Flashback) Hort's Mother**
Then you'll be saved.
**[14:14] (Flashback) Young Hort**
Okay.
**[14:15] (Flashback) Young Hort**
Stop it!
**[14:17] (Flashback) Young Hort**
I'm scared!
**[14:19] (Flashback) Young Hort**
Help! Mommy!
**[14:22] (Flashback) Church Staff**
Those horns are proof your
soul is tainted. Hide them.
**[14:27] (Flashback) Church Staff**
It's for your own good.
**[14:30] (Flashback) Young Hort**
Please let my soul be cleansed.
**[14:36] (Flashback) Young Hort**
I promise to never stop smiling,
**[14:38] (Flashback) Young Hort**
so let no one hate me.
**[14:41] (Flashback) Hort**
A magic academy?
**[14:43] (Flashback) Church Staff**
Yes. I want you to enroll there
and provide us information.
**[14:48] (Flashback) Hort**
Um, what about after graduation?
**[14:51] (Flashback) Church Staff**
You will maintain your cover as a mage.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Church Staff**
Work for the Church's benefit,
striving to never be discovered.
**[14:58] (Flashback) Church Staff**
I have great expectations.
**[14:59] (Flashback) Hort**
Yes, sir!
**[15:01] (Flashback) School Friend 1 (female)**
Wow, Hort! You got the highest grades again!
**[15:04] (Flashback) School Friend 2 (female)**
You could be the top mage
in the kingdom one day.
**[15:07] (Flashback) Hort**
You're too nice.
**[15:09] (Flashback) School Friend 3 (male)**
What kind of job do you
want after you graduate?
**[15:11] (Flashback) Hort**
What? Um...
**[15:15] (Flashback) Hort**
Me?
**[15:16] (Flashback) Albus**
The Magic Division of the Church & Mage
Army wants to recruit you after graduation.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Albus**
Defending the kingdom is an important job.
**[15:26] (Flashback) Hort**
Maybe I should reveal everything.
**[15:30] (Flashback) Hort**
I want to become a mage.
**[15:33] (Flashback) Hort**
But what do I do?
**[15:36] (Flashback) Hort**
I really don't want to graduate.
**[15:39] (Flashback) Hort**
A three-year special field program?
**[15:42] (Flashback) Albus**
What do you think?
**[15:45] (Flashback) Hort**
I-I'll do it!
**[15:49] (Flashback) Hort**
Please let me participate!
**[15:53] Hort**
I was so happy.
**[15:54] Hort**
I could still study magic!
**[15:57] Hort**
I'd feel like I belonged!
**[15:59] Hort**
But in that moment, I had a bad feeling.
**[16:05] Hort**
I didn't know a witch hunter
from the Church would show up.
**[16:09] Hort**
If something happened,
I would have to betray everyone...
**[16:15] Hort**
That's why I poisoned that skewer,
**[16:18] Hort**
so I could eat it and throw
off our travel schedule.
**[16:24] (Flashback) Hort**
Sayb, that's my skewer!
**[16:27] Hort**
I hoped Kudo's group would get attacked.
**[16:32] Hort**
I thought they'd be fine with Kudo there.
**[16:36] Hort**
I never imagined an Arbiter would come...
that the *Tyrant* would come.
**[16:41] Hort**
Kudo was attacked, and even Professor
Los and Sayb are in danger.
**[16:46] Hort**
In the end, I'm a traitor.
**[16:50] Hort**
I've been betraying
everyone this whole time.
**[16:53] Hort**
It's all my fault.
**[16:58] Saybil**
It's okay, Hort.
**[17:03] Saybil**
It's not your fault.
**[17:07] Hort**
*How can he smile?*
**[17:10] Hort**
*He's not even that good at it.*
**[17:16] Hort**
*Now that he knows I'm a traitor...*
**[17:20] (Flashback) Saybil**
Hort, if your friend had still been alive,
I don't think you would've run.
**[17:25] Hort**
*...he should be furious that I deceived him.*
**[17:33] Hort**
*He ought...*
**[17:36] Hort**
*to hate me.*
**[17:37] The Tyrant**
Hey. What're ya doin'?
**[17:42] Hort**
*I won't run anymore.*
**[17:45] Hort**
Bag Do Glaht!
**[17:48] Hort**
Kalpa fire, come forth!
**[17:49] Hort**
Flare and blaze!
**[17:51] The Tyrant**
What?!
**[17:53] The Tyrant**
Shit. Gimme that!
**[18:00] Hort**
Chapter of Hunting,
**[18:01] Hort**
final verse!
**[18:03] Hort**
Flagis!
**[18:04] Hort**
My name is Hort!
**[18:15] The Tyrant**
Hey, now, missy.
**[18:17] The Tyrant**
What was that?
**[18:19] Hort**
N-No way!
**[18:21] The Tyrant**
A betrayal?
**[18:23] The Tyrant**
That's the child of a demon for ya.
**[18:31] Saybil**
*The Staff of Ludens...*
**[18:35] The Tyrant**
If ya ain't gonna be useful,
**[18:38] The Tyrant**
then die!
**[18:43] Staff of Ludens**
Use me.
**[18:49] Los**
No, Sayb! Don't touch it!
**[18:52] Saybil**
I'm sorry, Professor Los.
**[18:55] Saybil**
For being dead weight.
**[19:05] The Tyrant**
What the hell is this?
**[19:08] Los**
Ludens, no!
**[19:10] Los**
Release that boy!
**[19:14] Kudo**
What's going on?
**[19:18] Hort**
S-Sayb!
**[19:21] Hort**
Sayb!
**[19:46] Hort**
Sayb!
**[19:48] Hort**
You're alive!
**[19:50] Hort**
Thank goodness! You're alive!
**[19:54] Saybil**
Huh? We're all alive...
**[19:57] Los**
And what is that supposed to mean, pray tell?
**[20:00] Los**
Thou fool!
**[20:02] Los**
Using the witch-eating staff is suicide!
**[20:05] Los**
If thou needest someone to be dead to
learn thy lesson, I can kill someone now.
**[20:11] Los**
Will that bring thee to thy senses?
**[20:14] Los**
Each and every one of you,
foolhardy! Foolhardy! Foolhardy!
**[20:19] Kudo**
I wasn't that reckless, though.
**[20:21] Los**
Excuse me?
**[20:23] Los**
Thy overweening refusal of mine escort
**[20:26] Los**
is what got us into this
mess in the first place!
**[20:29] Kudo**
F-Face too close!
**[20:31] Hort**
Professor, calm dow—
**[20:32] Los**
To be honest, Hort, I never
imagined thou couldst track me.
**[20:37] Los**
The greater the talent,
the greater the burden of its misuse!
**[20:41] Hort**
Professor, you're too close!
**[20:44] Los**
I did not forget about *thee*, Ludens!
**[20:47] Los**
How darest thou make eyes at Sayb
despite having me as your pact-holder!
***SIGN*** I'm sorry
**[20:53] Los**
I sentence thee to a day of being sealed.
**[21:01] Saybil**
Professor Los,
**[21:02] Saybil**
how can it be that I am alive?
**[21:06] Los**
Thy magic exceeded what my
dear Ludens could siphon away.
**[21:15] Hort**
His magic was...
**[21:16] Kudo**
...too great for the staff?!
**[21:18] Los**
Sayb's magic is evidently infinite.
**[21:22] Los**
No wonder thou struggle
to control thy spells.
**[21:25] Los**
Honestly.
**[21:26] Los**
My dear Ludens had solely expended
magic these past 300 years.
**[21:31] ---**
Now his belly is full again.
**[21:35] Los**
When will my life come to an end now?
**[21:40] Los**
Anyway. Kudo, thou wilt come with us.
**[21:44] Kudo**
Huh? No, I'll be fine on my own.
**[21:47] Los**
What was that?
**[21:49] Kudo**
Ah! Your face is too close!
**[21:51] Kudo**
Fine! I'll come with you!
**[21:55] Los**
Much better.
**[21:57] Kudo**
Damn it.
**[21:58] Kudo**
Guess I better go grab
my tail and reattach it.
**[22:03] Kudo**
What is it?
**[22:05] Hort**
Um, well...
**[22:07] Hort**
Sorry. I used your tail as a spell offering.
**[22:16] Kudo**
You *what*?!
**[22:19] Hort**
My bad.
**[22:20] Kudo**
Y-You got some nerve...!
**[22:22] Los**
Oh, come on! Get along, you two!
**[23:56] Los**
'Tis good that everyone is unharmed.

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

So fluffy! I want him, too!

No. He is *my* mercenary.

Huh? And who art *thou*?

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

Address my death already!

**[00:01] (Flashback) Zero**
Your eyes
**[00:03] (Flashback) Zero**
are the same as mine, young man.
**[00:18] Saybil**
*I remember...*
**[00:22] Saybil**
*I remember her.*
**[00:34] Zero**
Come.
**[00:37] Zero**
I have been waiting for you.
***SIGN*** Episode 5 I Decide Who's Worthy
**[02:11] Zero**
What do you mean?
**[02:14] Zero**
Who are you?
**[02:16] Los**
Keep calm.
**[02:17] Los**
A witch's eyes house magical power.
**[02:20] Los**
If thou art not careful,
thou shalt be bewitched.
**[02:26] Zero**
You're in the way.
**[02:35] Saybil**
Professor Los!
**[02:38] Saybil**
Professor Los!
**[02:40] Saybil**
Professor Los!
**[02:42] Zero**
A pretender who cannot even use sorcery
calls herself a witch and stands at your side.
**[02:48] Zero**
I am exceedingly displeased.
**[02:51] Zero**
Young man, you are exceptional.
**[02:55] Zero**
Better than the pretender you hold.
**[02:57] Zero**
Better than the insects who
swarmed to you for your magic.
**[03:04] Saybil**
That's...
**[03:06] Saybil**
What'd you do to Hort?
**[03:08] Zero**
I let my mercenary have her.
**[03:12] Zero**
In order to recover you from Albus,
**[03:16] Zero**
I have gone to great lengths,
**[03:18] Zero**
including taking this village, all for you.
**[03:21] Saybil**
Because of me...
**[03:24] Saybil**
It's my fault...
**[03:37] Zero**
*I* shall love you.
**[03:40] Zero**
*I* shall guide you.
**[03:43] Zero**
If you are with me, no one
will be able to hurt you.
**[03:48] Zero**
Young man, come.
**[03:51] Zero**
I shall take you to a world befitting of you.
**[03:57] Saybil**
How are they not befitting?
**[04:04] Saybil**
Take Hort.
**[04:06] Saybil**
She was nice to me when there
was nothing special about me.
**[04:09] Saybil**
She said the thought of me dying scared her.
**[04:13] Saybil**
And Kudo!
**[04:14] Saybil**
He was honest and
treated everyone the same.
**[04:18] Saybil**
He had the courage not to change
his blunt disposition for anyone.
**[04:22] Saybil**
Professor Los, too.
**[04:25] Saybil**
She cast her treasured staff away for us!
**[04:29] Saybil**
She gladly taught us
anything we needed to know.
**[04:34] Saybil**
You were my only memory.
**[04:38] Saybil**
But of all my memories,
**[04:40] Saybil**
the one I could most do without...
**[04:43] Saybil**
is you!
**[04:48] Zero**
You rebuff me? A witch as great as I?
**[04:53] Saybil**
I'll decide who's worthwhile.
**[04:58] Saybil**
And you
**[05:00] Saybil**
don't qualify!
**[05:06] Saybil**
*If I pour all my magic into a spell,*
**[05:09] Saybil**
* I might manage to save*
* Professor Los at least.*
**[05:18] Saybil**
Bag Do Gla—
**[05:31] Saybil**
*Wh-What?*
**[05:49] Los**
I have not felt this in ages.
**[05:52] Los**
My whole body is surging with magical energy!
**[05:58] Saybil**
Professor... Los...
**[06:00] Los**
Out-of-control casting?
**[06:02] Los**
Self-destructive acts are foolhardy.
**[06:04] Los**
I *know* I have taught thee that.
**[06:06] Zero**
So you siphoned magical power from him.
**[06:10] Zero**
Still, long before you complete any sorcery,
**[06:13] Zero**
I can cast magic.
**[06:16] Los**
So thou thinkest.
**[06:19] Los**
Bag Do Glaht!
**[06:22] Los**
Kalpa fire, come forth!
**[06:23] Los**
Flare and blaze!
**[06:26] Saybil**
Professor Los? You can cast magic?
**[06:28] Los**
I can cast this level of spell
by imitating what I saw.
**[06:32] Los**
Since I'm a genius.
**[06:35] Los**
Chapter of Hunting, final verse!
**[06:37] Los**
Flagis!
**[06:38] Los**
Grant me power!
**[06:40] Los**
My name is Loux Krystas!
**[06:49] Zero**
Amusing.
**[06:52] Zero**
I deny your magic.
**[06:54] Zero**
Grant me power,
**[06:56] Zero**
for I am Zero.
**[07:03] Zero**
Watch your ego, Dawn Witch.
**[07:05] Zero**
That spell is mine.
**[07:07] Zero**
It is *my* magic.
**[07:09] Zero**
It is *my* wisdom and *my* power.
**[07:13] Zero**
To wield it against me is laughable.
**[07:16] Zero**
This art you call magic which
substitutes for sorcery,
**[07:21] Zero**
it all began with *The Grimoire of Zero*.
**[07:24] Zero**
*I* am that Zero.
**[07:27] Zero**
I wrote *The Grimoire of Zero*.
**[07:31] Saybil**
*This is what she meant.*
**[07:34] (Flashback) Albus**
I could let you meet the
author of the grimoire.
**[07:38] Saybil**
*We never stood a chance of winning.*
**[07:45] Zero**
I am she who discerns meaning
from meaninglessness,
**[07:49] Zero**
who creates something from nothing:
the Mud-Black Witch!
**[08:09] Saybil**
Huh?
**[08:09] Saybil**
Wh-What *is* this?
**[08:11] Zero**
And, starting today,
**[08:14] Zero**
I am also the witch who will
supervise you in the field program.
**[08:19] Zero**
By the way, the textbook
you use at the Academy,
**[08:23] Zero**
*The Grimoire of Beginning From Zero*?
I wrote that as well.
**[08:27] Saybil**
Uh... Um...
**[08:29] Zero**
Well done.
**[08:31] Zero**
I welcome you, young mage.
**[08:36] Saybil**
U-Um...
**[08:43] Los**
Didst thou see that, Sayb?
**[08:45] Los**
A real, live magic denial!
**[08:49] Los**
I am so moved!
**[08:51] Los**
My 300 years alive
have not been for nothing!
**[08:55] Los**
Pull it together! Look alive!
**[09:00] Saybil**
'Twas a test, a test!
**[09:01] Los**
Thou hast passed!
**[09:03] Saybil**
I... passed?
**[09:05] Los**
Precisely!
**[09:06] Hort**
Sayb!
**[09:10] Hort**
Congrats, Sayb!
**[09:13] Saybil**
Hort!
**[09:19] Saybil**
Hort, you're okay.
**[09:23] Hort**
If you had agreed to join Zero,
**[09:26] ---**
you would've been expelled on the spot.
**[09:28] Saybil**
What?
**[09:30] Hort**
Everyone in the village was part of it.
**[09:32] ---**
They were all testing us.
**[09:35] Hort**
The father tested me.
**[09:37] Hort**
He told me to pretend to be on your side
**[09:39] Hort**
and keep providing information
to the anti-witch faction.
**[09:43] Hort**
But the moment I spat in his face,
**[09:48] Hort**
he passed me!
**[09:50] Hort**
That priest is a pervert for sure.
**[09:54] Priest**
Who are you calling a pervert?
**[09:56] Priest**
Allow me to return this.
**[09:58] Los**
My dear Ludens!
**[10:01] Los**
I missed thee!
**[10:01] Priest**
You figured out that this
was a test, didn't you?
**[10:06] Los**
Of course I did.
**[10:09] Los**
The supposed house of a family that
died wretched deaths two years ago
**[10:12] Los**
was clean and had kitchen utensils,
water, and tea leaves to boot!
**[10:18] Los**
And the hanging dolls
showed not a sign of wear.
**[10:22] Los**
It was ridiculous.
**[10:23] Hort**
Now that you mention it...
**[10:25] Priest**
I told you the tea leaves were too much.
**[10:28] Zero**
But that was my special blend for relieving
the exhaustion of a long journey.
**[10:35] Mercenary**
Look who else passed.
**[10:39] Kudo**
Y-You guys!
**[10:43] Saybil and Hort**
Kudo!
**[10:45] Kudo**
Thank goodness.
**[10:47] Kudo**
You're both all right.
**[10:50] Kudo**
I was tested, too.
**[10:52] Kudo**
That guy told me he ate Holt.
**[10:56] Mercenary**
Direct your complaints to the priest.
He wrote the script!
**[11:00] Priest**
It was necessary to stir up the students'
rage, fear, and sense of inferiority.
**[11:07] Zero**
Dawn Witch Loux Krystas,
**[11:10] Zero**
though it was part of a test,
I ask your forgiveness for the insults.
**[11:15] Los**
Whatever dost thou mean?
**[11:18] Los**
As a pretender, I'm afraid
my memory is lackluster.
**[11:34] Holdem**
Did you just go into labor?
**[11:36] Holdem**
You weren't hiding a pregnancy
from me, were you?
**[11:39] Holdem**
Ow!
**[11:40] Albus**
Of course not, third-rate servant!
**[11:43] Albus**
I just received word from
Zero via witch's letter.
**[11:47] Albus**
The three remaining students
I sent to her all passed!
**[11:52] Hort**
*All*?
**[11:54] Holdem**
But not a single person passed last year.
**[11:57] Albus**
It's a remarkable feat!
**[11:58] Albus**
When I heard they were
attacked by an Arbiter,
**[12:01] Albus**
I was uncertain about what I should do.
**[12:04] Albus**
It seems I was right to believe in them.
**[12:07] Holdem**
Well, being in mortal danger together
probably cultivated some solidarity.
**[12:12] Albus**
Yeah, you may be onto something there.
**[12:16] Albus**
It feels odd,
**[12:18] Albus**
but if that's the case, I owe
the Arbiter my gratitude.
**[12:22] Albus**
Very well. I'll throw him a bone.
***SIGN*** Wanted
**[12:26] Albus**
And, if we keep him alive,
we may find a use for him.
***SIGN*** Dead or Alive
**[12:31] Albus**
Distribute this to all the mages, the Church
& Mage Army, and bounty hunters as well.
***SIGN*** Wanted Alive
***SIGN*** Dead or Alive
**[12:38] Albus**
He hurt my students.
**[12:41] Albus**
I won't let him get off scot-free.
**[12:45] Uls**
Now, then, raise a glass to the
first members of the field program!
**[12:50] Uls**
Cheers!
**[12:54] Kudo**
Where'd all these people spring up from?
**[12:57] Zero**
To avoid any accidental bean-spilling,
**[12:59] Zero**
they were all holed up at home
until the end of the test.
**[13:03] Los**
The village was littered
with beans to find, though.
**[13:07] Zero**
No need to be so harsh, Dawn Witch.
**[13:11] Zero**
Allow me to congratulate you again.
**[13:14] Zero**
We wholeheartedly sought your expulsion,
**[13:18] Zero**
but you prevailed.
**[13:20] Hort**
Um, question! Question!
**[13:22] Hort**
Why did you seek to expel us?
**[13:26] Zero**
Because your talent is too great.
**[13:28] Kudo; Hort; & Saybil**
Huh?
**[13:29] Zero**
If an exceptional mage is
swayed to the path of evil,
**[13:32] Zero**
it could mean the end of the world.
**[13:35] Zero**
We opted to test students
with great potential
**[13:38] Zero**
to see if they are virtuous,
**[13:42] Zero**
and expel them if they fail.
**[13:47] Zero**
The other two students were selected
to obtain evidence of their treachery.
**[13:52] Zero**
But you three were different.
**[13:55] Zero**
If any of you sought to destroy the world,
**[13:58] Zero**
the devastation might be greater
than what we've seen in the north.
**[14:01] Hort**
S-Surely you're exaggerating.
**[14:05] Zero**
Young antlered woman,
**[14:07] Zero**
your talent equals that
of the Mooncaller Witch.
**[14:11] Zero**
In other words,
the Headmaster of the Academy.
**[14:14] Zero**
In 10 years' time, you should have the power
to lay waste to a thousand troops in seconds.
**[14:21] Hort**
I-I should?
**[14:23] Zero**
Young lizard man, your
resourcefulness will be fearsome.
**[14:27] Zero**
Your talent for the Chapter of Protection,
**[14:29] Kudo**
if you continue to develop it,
**[14:31] ---**
will make you a name as the Immortal Mage.
**[14:35] Kudo**
*Me*?
**[14:37] Zero**
And limitless magic...
**[14:41] Zero**
Not even I can see your pinnacle.
**[14:44] Zero**
For the next several hundred years,
**[14:45] ---**
you may be the most long-lived mage.
**[14:49] Zero**
Furthermore, living a long life means
**[14:52] Zero**
endless time to sharpen your techniques.
**[14:56] Zero**
Right now, you are this sphere.
**[14:58] Zero**
However, in time,
**[15:00] Zero**
your power might pierce anything.
**[15:03] Zero**
Staggering, isn't it?
**[15:05] Zero**
I, too, am staggered
**[15:07] Zero**
by the force of this possibility.
**[15:10] Saybil**
Possibility...
**[15:12] Saybil**
So then... things won't
necessarily turn out that way.
**[15:16] Zero**
Indeed.
**[15:17] Zero**
If you neglect your training
and spend your days loafing,
**[15:21] Zero**
I can't even imagine what
lackadaisical mages you'll be.
**[15:25] Zero**
That is a staggering prospect itself.
**[15:29] Zero**
Now, then, let's discuss the field program.
**[15:32] Zero**
You will each have a store.
**[15:35] Saybil**
A store?
**[15:36] Zero**
Yes.
**[15:37] Zero**
So that it's easy for the
villagers to seek your help.
**[15:41] Zero**
By the way, I operate a paltry magic
shop on the outskirts of town.
**[15:50] Zero**
I shall give you three days.
**[15:52] Zero**
Use that time to think about what
kind of store you want to op—
**[15:55] Mercenary**
Dig in!
**[15:57] Mercenary**
You'll think better after ya eat!
**[16:01] Mercenary**
There!
**[16:02] Mercenary**
Don't be shy! I'll keep it comin'.
**[16:06] Kudo**
This isn't... human meat, is it?
**[16:09] Mercenary**
Don't be silly.
**[16:11] Mercenary**
Look at the psychological wound you've
inflicted on these poor kids, killer priest.
**[16:17] Saybil**
"Killer priest?"
**[16:20] Priest**
You see, I used to be
an Arbiter in Dia Ignis.
**[16:25] Mercenary**
And just so ya know, he can see.
**[16:28] Kudo; Hort; & Saybil**
What?!
**[16:30] Saybil**
Then why do you wear that over your eyes?
**[16:33] Hort**
For fashion?
**[16:34] Hort**
Is it fashion?
**[16:36] Priest**
Light hurts my eyes.
**[16:39] Priest**
I can only remove this at night.
**[16:42] Hort**
So it's not fashion.
**[16:44] Hort**
Oh, is the little girl from the church here?
**[16:48] Priest**
There was no little girl at the church.
**[16:51] Hort**
But...
**[16:52] Priest**
If you mean Lilly, she's over 20 years old.
**[16:56] Hort**
No way! But she's smaller than me!
**[17:00] Priest**
She has a timid personality and
doesn't like large groups of people.
**[17:05] Priest**
I'll introduce you one of these days.
**[17:08] Saybil**
Um, Professor Zero...
**[17:12] Saybil**
Did *you* take me to the Academy?
**[17:17] Zero**
You don't remember?
**[17:20] Zero**
It's all right if you don't.
**[17:23] Zero**
If necessary, you'll remember
when you need to.
**[17:28] Hort**
A store, huh...
**[17:31] Kudo**
Some kind of magic store, too.
**[17:34] Saybil**
Oh, that reminds me. Where's Professor Los?
**[17:37] Hort**
She said something about visiting
Professor Zero's store.
**[17:41] Hort**
She wants to read the books
Professor Zero has written.
**[17:45] Kudo**
H-Hey, you two! Look up there!
**[17:50] Hort**
Is that...?
**[17:54] Saybil**
Kudo.
**[18:10] Saybil**
That's...
**[18:15] Kudo**
The Dragon Conqueror King!
**[18:17] Dragon Conqueror King**
Saybil, Hort, and Kudo. Are they here?
**[18:22] Hort**
Yes! Right here!
**[18:25] Dragon Conqueror King**
The dispatches from the Academy.
**[18:28] Saybil**
Th-Thank you.
**[18:31] Zero**
Dragon Conqueror King, it's been a while.
**[18:34] Mercenary**
Hey, Heath. You've gotten big.
**[18:37] Dragon Conqueror King**
I've told you not to call
me "Dragon Conqueror King."
**[18:39] Zero**
Loosen up. Your name is known worldwide.
**[18:44] Dragon Conqueror King**
It's overblown.
**[18:46] Dragon Conqueror King**
In reality, I'm just here
to handle little errands.
**[18:51] Zero**
That just shows how
important the letters are.
**[18:58] Saybil**
"As field program students,
**[19:00] Saybil**
you are hereby assigned to the witch village.
**[19:03] Saybil**
All restrictions on magic are lifted."
**[19:08] Dragon Conqueror King**
Students that haven't even graduated
are being authorized to use all magic?
**[19:13] Dragon Conqueror King**
That's essentially full authorization
to engage in battle.
**[19:18] Zero**
Naturally, the anti-witch faction
would have things to say.
**[19:21] Zero**
You might call these
**[19:22] Zero**
top secret dispatches.
**[19:24] Zero**
Quite befitting of delivery by dragon.
**[19:28] Kudo**
Excuse me!
**[19:30] Kudo**
I, um...
**[19:33] Kudo**
A long time ago, you saved me!
**[19:37] Dragon Conqueror King**
You're the beastfallen who
was at the freak show.
**[19:40] Kudo**
Y-You remember?
**[19:43] Dragon Conqueror King**
My heart isn't so dead as
to forget that atrocity.
**[19:48] Dragon Conqueror King**
I believe you said you wanted
to join the Church & Mage Army.
**[19:51] Kudo**
If I become a mage,
do you think I could get in?
**[19:58] Dragon Conqueror King**
Who knows?
**[20:01] Dragon Conqueror King**
I'm not in charge of recruitment.
**[20:04] Dragon Conqueror King**
But...
**[20:06] Dragon Conqueror King**
You seem like you'd be an asset in my squad.
**[20:15] Dragon Conqueror King**
I have great expectations.
**[20:17] Kudo**
Th-Thank you!
**[20:19] Los**
Why?
**[20:20] Los**
How come thou didst not call me?
**[20:23] Los**
I wanna see a dragon up close!
I wanna pet it!
**[20:27] Los**
I wanna ride it, if it'd let me!
**[20:30] Saybil**
Well, I'm sure there'll be another chance.
**[20:30] Los**
I wanna ride the dragon! I wanna!
**[20:34] Los**
But I might not be in the village then!
**[20:40] Los**
What is it?
**[20:42] Los**
What's wrong?
**[20:44] Hort**
So you're leaving after all.
**[20:46] Kudo**
I told you. She was just our escort.
**[20:51] Los**
Of course, I shall indeed set out
again in search of entertainment.
**[20:55] Los**
'Tis my way of life.
**[21:03] Los**
But until I've read all the books here,
**[21:05] Los**
I intend to remain in the village.
**[21:09] Los**
In fact...
**[21:10] Los**
I'd say it'll take three years.
**[21:12] Los**
But should I grow bored, I'll leave at once.
**[21:15] Los**
Study!
**[21:17] Los**
I am fond of growth!
**[21:18] Los**
I am fond of change!
**[21:20] Los**
As long as you three aim higher,
I shall lend a hand.
**[21:24] Los**
For *that* is my entertainment!
**[21:27] Saybil**
Professor Los...
**[21:32] Los**
'Tis too tight!
**[21:36] Los**
Enough, you bunch of big babies!
**[21:41] Los**
You're staying, Dawn Witch?
**[21:43] Los**
I should not wish to hear that a witch has
sunk her fangs into my precious ducklings.
**[21:52] Zero**
Fangs?
**[21:53] Los**
Thou art suffering magical depletion.
**[21:57] ---**
And a severe case at that.
**[22:01] Zero**
So you can tell.
**[22:03] Los**
Sayb would be a godsend to
a witch in thy condition.
**[22:09] Zero**
Your suspicions are justified.
**[22:12] Zero**
If you're staying, I should explain.
**[22:16] Zero**
The young man was born
with that peculiar trait.
**[22:19] Zero**
Thus, as you fear might happen now,
**[22:22] Zero**
he was once attacked by
a witch seeking power.
**[22:27] Zero**
The young man had his mother
killed before his eyes,
**[22:30] ---**
and the witch who sought power
**[22:33] Zero**
perished by magical overload.
**[22:35] Zero**
As a result, he sealed his own memories away.
**[22:40] Zero**
With no memories, he experienced
all manner of oppression
**[22:44] ---**
as practically a slave.
**[22:48] Zero**
By placing himself in a wretched environment,
**[22:51] Zero**
he was punishing himself.
**[22:55] Zero**
The emotional wound he
suffered is terribly deep.
**[22:59] Zero**
Thus, I thought it best to give him a new
lease on life as a student in the Academy
**[23:05] Zero**
with no memory of what happened.
**[23:09] Zero**
But his peculiar trait posed the danger that
**[23:12] ---**
his magic would occasionally
run wildly out of control.
**[23:17] Los**
So thou soughtest his expulsion.
**[23:19] Los**
Thou takest, then givest,
then takest again. How arrogant.
**[23:24] Los**
Why dost thou seek to
control his life like this?
**[23:29] Zero**
He's my nephew.
**[23:31] Los**
Thy nephew?! Then Sayb's father is...
**[23:37] Zero**
Thirteen.
**[23:37] Los**
Thirteen!
**[23:39] Zero**
Yes, the one who stole
*The Grimoire of Zero* from me
**[23:43] ---**
to create a world controlled by witches.
**[23:46] Zero**
The one who caused war in the
Kingdom of Wenias by spreading magic.
**[23:51] Zero**
That extraordinary evil sorcerer.

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

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

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

**[00:01] Holdem**
And that's why,
**[00:02] Holdem**
on a temporary basis,
**[00:03] Holdem**
*I* have been entrusted with
protecting this village.
**[00:08] Hort**
Who is he?
**[00:09] Kudo**
The Headmaster's servant.
**[00:12] Hort**
Um, Mr. Headmaster's Servant?
**[00:16] Holdem**
Holdem. Chief of Security. Super capable.
**[00:20] Hort**
Mr. Super-Capable Chief of Security Holdem,
**[00:24] Hort**
in the last test I got pretty darn hurt.
**[00:27] Hort**
Are you here to do awful
stuff again this time?
**[00:31] Holdem**
My purpose here is to inspect the village.
**[00:34] ---**
I just happened to have this foisted on me
**[00:37] Holdem**
because I'm capable.
**[00:39] Saybil**
He's awfully insistent about that.
**[00:40] Hort**
Is he actually capable?
**[00:42] Kudo**
He's known for his nasty personality.
**[00:46] Holdem**
You're an unendearing bunch!
**[00:48] Holdem**
Okay, announcement over.
Now scram. Scram! Go!
**[00:52] Holdem**
Ugh, kids.
**[00:54] Los**
So,
**[00:55] Los**
why art thou really here?
**[00:59] Los**
Just as a Remnant of Disaster appears,
thou showest up to inspect.
**[01:05] Los**
It hardly seems unrelated.
**[01:07] Holdem**
It *is* unrelated.
**[01:09] ---**
If I used a Remnant of Disaster,
the village would fall.
**[01:13] Los**
I shall believe thee.
**[01:15] Holdem**
About that Remnant problem...
**[01:18] Holdem**
Can you take care of it?
**[01:20] Los**
"Take care of it?"
**[01:22] Holdem**
The one thing I appreciate
about you is your skills.
**[01:25] ---**
You're the sole witch my master relied on.
**[01:30] Los**
Well, Sorena was my friend, after all...
**[01:41] Los**
Sorena died protecting people.
She would ask me to protect the village.
**[01:51] Los**
As for compensation?
**[01:53] Holdem**
Access to *The Grimoire of Zero*.
**[01:55] Los**
What?!
**[01:56] Holdem**
Please, Loux. I swear, I'll persuade my lady.
**[01:59] Holdem**
This village is her dream.
**[02:02] Holdem**
We'll do anything to protect it.
**[02:07] Los**
Even trust me? I see!
**[03:42] Hort**
Huh? You want to get stronger?
***SIGN*** Episode 8 Respective Costs
**[03:44] Saybil**
Yeah. Today I decided I want to
be a proper mage like you two.
**[03:50] Hort**
Of course! Let's graduate together
and become mages together!
**[03:54] Saybil**
But... I don't think I'll be able
to keep doing the chores like I was.
**[03:59] Saybil**
Like the laundry...
**[04:02] Hort**
Like I said before! You don't
have to wash... my clothes!
**[04:08] Los**
Hurry home, you three.
**[04:11] Los**
O-Oh...
**[04:12] Hort**
Professor Los?
**[04:14] Los**
No need for concern.
**[04:16] Holdem**
You better be okay...
**[04:19] Holdem**
I'd still lose some sleep if you died.
**[04:34] Saybil**
So... what I wanted to ask... is...
**[04:38] Saybil**
I want you two to teach me to cast.
**[04:42] ---**
In exchange, I'll restore your magic.
**[04:46] Kudo**
Sounds fine to me.
**[04:47] ---**
Actually, I thought it was nuts that
you didn't ask for anything before.
**[04:51] Hort**
To be honest, I felt like we
leaned on you a little too much.
**[04:56] Hort**
Wh-While we're on the subject,
**[04:58] Hort**
I was curious about something...
**[05:01] Hort**
Sayb, sometimes you... supply
magic through your l-lips, right?
**[05:08] Hort**
So, um, like! Does that mean
you might do that with me?
**[05:14] Saybil**
Huh? No, I don't think so.
**[05:18] Hort**
Y-You won't, huh? I see!
**[05:23] Kudo**
I'm surprised you're unfazed by it, dude.
**[05:27] Saybil**
By what?
**[05:28] Kudo**
Think about it with the genders swapped.
**[05:30] Saybil**
Gender... swap?
**[05:36] "Male Zero"**
I want to devour you.
**[05:40] "Male Los"**
This is the difference experience makes.
**[05:46] Saybil**
I don't really see an issue.
**[05:48] Hort**
You can't do that!
**[05:50] Hort**
It's against morality!
**[05:51] Hort**
A mortal sin!
**[05:53] Hort**
I won't let that happen to my Saybina!
**[05:56] Saybil**
"Saybina"?
**[05:57] Kudo**
"My"?
**[05:58] Holdem**
Hey.
**[06:00] Holdem**
Can you show me to an empty
house where I can rest?
**[06:04] Hort**
Sure. I'll take you.
**[06:06] Holdem**
That won't do.
**[06:08] Holdem**
I can't go to an empty house
alone with a young maiden.
**[06:12] Holdem**
The village's population will increase.
**[06:17] Hort**
What a creep!
**[06:18] Kudo**
We should file a complaint
with the Headmaster.
**[06:21] Holdem**
I-I'm sorry!
**[06:23] Holdem**
Please! Just don't tell my lady!
**[06:24] Uls**
Saybil.
**[06:27] Saybil**
Mr. Uls...
**[06:29] Uls**
We need to talk.
**[06:31] Hort**
I-In that case, we'll take Mr. Holdem.
**[06:39] Uls**
I know it's not your fault.
**[06:41] Uls**
Laios cried and defended you.
**[06:45] Saybil**
Sir, I...
**[06:46] Uls**
Still, I'm sorry,
**[06:48] ---**
but I need you to stay away from our son.
**[06:59] Saybil**
Yes, sir.
**[07:04] (Flashback) Saybil**
Do you want to go out with
me while I practice magic?
**[07:07] (Flashback) Laios**
So, you'll practice magic with me every day?
**[07:14] Saybil**
Once I'm strong enough to protect him,
may I take him out again?
**[07:20] Saybil**
I promised him we'd play adventurers again.
**[07:25] Uls**
It's just a promise to a kid.
**[07:28] Saybil**
But we're friends.
**[07:35] Uls**
I'll teach Laios a little more about
staying safe in the forest by then.
**[07:43] the Tyrant**
Careless of ya.
**[07:47] the Tyrant**
To be alone at night like this.
**[08:03] (Flashback) Young Saybil**
Yet another person you love
is gonna die because of you.
**[08:08] (Flashback) Young Saybil**
How long are you gonna repress it?
**[08:14] (Flashback) Saybil's Mom**
Listen closely, dear.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Saybil's Mom**
You must *never* approach a
witch who has eyes like yours.
**[08:22] (Flashback) Young Saybil**
Mom...
**[08:24] (Flashback) Saybil's Mom**
She'll take everything from you.
**[08:50] (Flashback) Witch**
Hid him in a barrier, eh?
**[08:52] (Flashback) Witch**
Come out, child.
**[08:55] (Flashback) Witch**
If you don't want to let your mom die.
**[08:58] (Flashback) Witch**
Come on.
**[09:06] (Flashback) Young Saybil**
Mom!
**[09:23] (Flashback) Witch**
Now, come along.
**[09:28] (Flashback) Witch**
Show me.
**[09:37] (Flashback) Witch**
Ah, the power! Just the
slightest touch and I feel it.
**[09:42] (Flashback) Witch**
Yes!
**[09:43] (Flashback) Witch**
*This* is...
**[09:52] (Flashback) Witch**
Stop!
**[09:53] (Flashback) Witch**
Let go of me!
**[10:22] the Tyrant**
Hey!
**[10:27] the Tyrant**
Spare me all that.
**[10:29] Zero**
My orders were to take
you alive this time.
**[10:34] Saybil**
Um, am I being abducted?
**[10:37] the Tyrant**
What does it look like?
**[10:40] Saybil**
Um, I think I'll probably be a
disappointment to your employer.
**[10:45] the Tyrant**
Not my problem.
**[10:47] the Tyrant**
I'm a tool. I just get used for my purpose.
**[10:52] Zero**
Damn. Someone's caught up to us.
**[10:55] Kudo**
Hey! You said you could drive the horses!
**[10:58] Hort**
I *am* driving them! They're flying
forward, aren't they? See?
**[11:02] Kudo**
Hey! Stop them!
**[11:04] Hort**
Th-They aren't stopping!
**[11:11] Saybil**
Hort! Kudo!
**[11:16] Kudo**
Are you okay, Saybil?
**[11:20] the Tyrant**
Oh. Look here.
**[11:23] the Tyrant**
No escort today!
**[11:29] Los**
My dear Ludens!
**[11:32] ---**
Clean up!
**[11:43] Los**
If such an easy task gets me a
peek at *The Grimoire of Zero*,
**[11:46] Los**
then it's not even a question.
**[11:48] Los**
Right, my dear Ludens?
**[11:55] Los**
What's this?
**[11:57] Los**
H-Help me.
**[12:01] Los**
My goodness. This is an unexpected find.
**[12:07] Hort**
How is the Tyrant here?
**[12:09] Kudo**
Hell if I know! But we're rescuing
Saybil no matter who we have to fight.
**[12:14] Hort**
It's moving!
**[12:15] Kudo**
Quiet! Just do it already!
**[12:18] Kudo**
Full power!
**[12:19] Hort**
Okay.
**[12:28] the Tyrant**
No incantation?
**[12:36] the Tyrant**
I see you've improved since last time.
**[12:41] Saybil**
Please don't move. I can probably
kill you in an instant.
**[12:50] Los**
What's this?
**[12:52] Los**
The third-rate servant.
**[12:54] Los**
Why art thou sleeping out here?
**[12:59] Holdem**
Why *was* I sleeping out here?
**[13:01] Los**
Art thou drunk?
**[13:03] Holdem**
No. I was about to have the kids
take me to an empty house,
**[13:08] ---**
when that Uls fellow there showed up...
**[13:12] Holdem**
He said something about
Saybil being abducted...
**[13:16] Holdem**
I tried to stop the kids
from going after him.
**[13:19] Holdem**
But then I...
**[13:22] Los**
Thou wert put to sleep, with magic.
**[13:25] Holdem**
So then...
**[13:28] Holdem**
Oh crap! No!
**[13:30] Los**
What hast thou so flustered?
'Tis *thy* trap, is it not?
**[13:34] Los**
Thou camest all the way out to this village.
**[13:37] Los**
Thy plan was to cause an incident and
observe whether we could resolve it.
**[13:42] Los**
As a sort of test, yes?
**[13:45] Los**
My ducklings assuredly felt wary of you.
**[13:52] Holdem**
You don't think I might be trying
to actually do something to Saybil?
**[13:58] Los**
Sorena wouldn't approve.
**[14:01] Los**
So, what is the issue?
**[14:04] Holdem**
I used the Tyrant.
**[14:06] Los**
Thou didst *what*?!
**[14:08] the Tyrant**
Then ya shoulda
**[14:13] the Tyrant**
killed me just now.
**[14:15] the Tyrant**
In combat...
**[14:19] Hort**
Sayb!
**[14:19] Kudo**
Saybil!
**[14:21] the Tyrant**
whoever hesitates loses!
**[14:28] the Tyrant**
If ya ain't prepared to kill
when ya have the chance,
**[14:31] the Tyrant**
it don't matter how strong
your weapon is. It's useless.
**[14:35] the Tyrant**
I'd say this is within acceptable limits.
**[14:38] the Tyrant**
Seein' as how ya can fix it all with magic.
**[14:49] the Tyrant**
The Mask?
**[14:51] the Tyrant**
Bastard!
**[14:53] the Tyrant**
Didn't you leave the village?
**[14:56] Priest**
I'm impressed you knew.
**[14:58] Priest**
I came back.
**[15:05] Priest**
My mouse made a big fuss about
a pest entering the village.
**[15:12] Priest**
Now I can finally see.
**[15:16] Priest**
Don't worry. I'll take you alive.
**[15:19] Priest**
There is so much information
**[15:21] Priest**
to glean from you.
**[15:30] Priest**
This is within acceptable limits, yes?
**[15:32] Priest**
Since it can be fixed with magic.
**[15:35] the Tyrant**
Fighting the Mask in the forest at
night is too big of a disadvantage.
**[15:40] the Tyrant**
Plus you have reinforcements
coming. I give up.
**[15:47] Mercenary**
See. I knew the priest would be here.
**[15:50] Zero**
Quit grumbling, Mercenary.
**[15:53] Zero**
If we hadn't raced here,
**[15:55] ---**
our blood-starved priest might
have julienned our assailant.
**[16:01] Mercenary**
Looks like he's already
been given a rough chop.
**[16:04] Priest**
That is quite a way to speak
when you two arrived late.
**[16:09] Los**
Hold it, hold it hold it!
**[16:11] Los**
You barbarians!
**[16:13] Los**
'Tis shameful to gang up
on and bully the weak!
**[16:17] Holdem**
He took out all the students.
**[16:20] Holdem**
The Tyrant is tougher than I thought.
**[16:24] Mercenary**
Oh? So you two know him?
**[16:30] Zero**
Depending on your answer,
**[16:31] Zero**
we may be send your head back to the
Mooncaller Witch at the Academy.
**[16:41] Holdem**
Look, the deal with the Tyrant was
he would be spared the death penalty
**[16:46] Holdem**
if he could bring at least one
student back to the Academy.
**[16:50] Los**
In other words, this wasn't
a test for the students.
**[16:55] Los**
It was an inspection of the
village's ability to protect them.
**[17:00] Los**
That's why he set the Tyrant loose,
**[17:03] Los**
but the students were wary of Holdem,
who was obviously suspicious.
**[17:08] Los**
They removed him from the
fight as soon as it started,
**[17:12] Los**
thus he was unable to restrain
the Tyrant's excessive violence,
**[17:17] Los**
and he was late to arrive.
**[17:21] Priest**
Are you incompetent?
**[17:22] Mercenary**
What are ya, incompetent?
**[17:24] Holdem**
Yes. I'm incompetent
and a third-rate servant.
**[17:28] Zero**
It does no good to blame the dog.
**[17:31] Zero**
If the Tyrant's aim had been murder,
**[17:33] Zero**
the students would all have been killed.
**[17:37] Zero**
We have no choice but to recognize
**[17:40] Zero**
that this inspection fully exposed the
weakness of the village's defenses.
**[17:46] Mercenary**
We were just short on hands this time
because of the Remnant of Disaster.
**[17:52] Priest**
More accurate to say we lack fighting power.
**[17:55] Priest**
If it were just this village,
it would be one thing,
**[17:57] Priest**
but if we try to protect the surrounding
ones as well, we cannot attend to it all.
**[18:01] Mercenary**
The towns around us are just
getting dragged into our mess.
**[18:06] Mercenary**
We can't just leave 'em in the lurch.
**[18:09] Zero**
If witches bring extra danger and
then do nothing to protect people,
**[18:14] Zero**
the village may only worsen
the reputation of witches.
**[18:18] Holdem**
Um, might I be permitted to say somethin—
**[18:21] Priest**
Keep quiet.
**[18:21] Holdem**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[18:22] Mercenary**
Incompetence is contagious.
**[18:24] Zero**
Don't bully him so. Well, let's hear it.
**[18:28] Holdem**
If you need more fighting power,
please feel free to make use of him.
**[18:34] the Tyrant**
H-Hold up! That wasn't the deal!
**[18:39] the Tyrant**
Once I succeeded, my death sentence
was supposed to be commuted—
**[18:44] Holdem**
You didn't succeed!
**[18:46] Holdem**
If you want to live, zip it!
**[18:56] Hort**
No way!
**[18:58] Hort**
No way! Nuh-uh! Absolutely opposed!
**[19:02] Hort**
He betrayed the Church, right?
**[19:04] Hort**
Someone like that will betray us next!
**[19:07] Kudo**
You betrayed the Church, too.
**[19:10] Hort**
Kudo, why do you always say the
thing someone least wants to hear?
**[19:15] Hort**
The Tyrant tried to kill us!
**[19:18] Hort**
You're telling me to forgive him?
**[19:20] Hort**
It's better to execute him!
**[19:23] Zero**
You need not forgive him, antlered girl.
**[19:27] Zero**
If you desire revenge, I won't condemn you.
**[19:31] Zero**
However, there is one
thing you must remember.
**[19:35] Zero**
Witch hunts are revenge for
witches' past wrongdoings.
**[19:40] Zero**
Those very wrongdoings are why witches
continue to be regarded with suspicion.
**[19:46] Zero**
The peace between the Church and witches...
**[19:48] Zero**
Those whose loved ones were killed by
witches find it difficult to accept.
**[19:52] Zero**
I'm sure *you* understand their feelings.
**[19:55] Zero**
That is the very reason the anti-witch
faction hires people like the Tyrant.
**[20:00] Zero**
The Tyrant has been ordered to serve
this village to atone for his sins.
**[20:05] Zero**
You must consider the purpose and
significance of executing him now.
**[20:14] Hort**
But the Tyrant has killed
lots of innocent people, too.
**[20:19] Priest**
The same is true of me.
**[20:22] Priest**
I killed anybody the Church ordered me to.
**[20:26] Priest**
Will you execute me as well?
**[20:28] Hort**
B-But tha—
**[20:29] Lilly**
You can't!
**[20:31] Lilly**
You can't execute the father!
**[20:34] Hort**
He's not the same as the Tyrant.
**[20:37] Los**
Well, my dear Ludens is known as the witch
eater and has taken the lives of many witches.
**[20:44] Los**
If one of their relatives comes for me,
I have no right to complain.
**[20:49] Hort**
No way! It's obviously not right
for you to be killed, Professor!
**[20:54] Kudo**
What, so anyone you like is a good person
no matter how many people they've killed?
**[21:00] Hort**
So you're fine with this?
**[21:02] Kudo**
As long as he's on our side.
**[21:06] Hort**
He can't be trusted to be on our side!
**[21:08] Hort**
He might attack us!
**[21:10] Kudo**
If he does, we can just kill him then.
**[21:13] Kudo**
You'll be able to take him
out for sure next time.
**[21:16] Hort**
But what if he attacks
Sayb while I'm not around?
**[21:20] Hort**
Sayb will be killed!
**[21:22] Saybil**
Sorry for not being reliable.
**[21:24] Hort**
That's not what I was saying.
**[21:27] Kudo**
Fine. This is a pain in the butt,
so let's just execute him.
**[21:31] Saybil**
You love to take arguments to extremes.
**[21:34] Hort**
Argh!
**[21:35] Hort**
Ugh!
**[21:36] Hort**
Fine! I'll monitor him, then!
**[21:41] Hort**
We'll have him live in this bar,
so Mr. Mercenary can monitor him.
**[21:46] Hort**
And when I monitor him,
I'll work his butt off.
**[21:50] Mercenary**
Excuse me? He's gonna live in my bar?!
**[21:57] Los**
Hort, you made a painful decision.
**[22:00] Hort**
I mean, after what everyone said...
**[22:04] Los**
You determined that letting the
Tyrant live would be best,
**[22:08] ---**
and you put your own feelings aside.
**[22:12] Los**
'Tis a feat even adults
struggle to accomplish.
**[22:20] Hort**
Professor Los!

**[00:01] Holdem**
You really don't want to come back with me?
**[00:03] Holdem**
I'll take you to the Forbidden
Library, as promised.
**[00:06] Los**
Right now I am more preoccupied with
my ducklings than *The Grimoire of Zero*.
**[00:12] Los**
They grow dramatically
before one knows it.
**[00:15] ---**
I can't take my eyes off them.
**[00:17] Holdem**
Well, to you, a few years
is like the blink of an eye.
**[00:22] Los**
True.
**[00:23] Los**
I didn't see thee for a short
time and thou hast grown old.
**[00:27] Los**
The next time I see thee,
thou mightest be dead of old age.
**[00:31] Holdem**
I always look young and spry!
**[00:44] Hort**
You got your memories back?!
**[00:48] Saybil**
Yeah. But they're not very good memories.
**[00:53] Hort**
Do you wanna forget again?
Want a smack to the head?
**[00:56] Saybil**
No thanks.
**[00:57] Saybil**
But it barely feels like I remembered.
**[01:01] Saybil**
I thought things would be
different once I remembered.
**[01:04] Saybil**
But I still know nothing...
**[01:06] Hort**
What do you mean?
**[01:11] Saybil**
What is it like to have
feelings for someone?
**[01:14] Hort**
Huh?!
**[01:16] Saybil**
Professor Los says that
you're in love with me.
**[01:21] Hort**
What?! Um...
**[01:22] Hort**
I...
**[01:26] Saybil**
I was wondering what normally
happens when you like someone.
**[01:30] Hort**
Well... you want to be
special to them, I guess...
**[01:36] Saybil**
You *are* special to me, Hort.
**[01:39] ---**
Is this love?
**[01:41] Hort**
What?
**[01:44] Hort**
No. I don't think it is.
**[01:48] Saybil**
Oh. Sorry.
**[01:50] Hort**
It's okay!
**[01:52] Hort**
I'm happy you're asking
me for love advice, Sayb!
**[01:56] Hort**
Oh, how about this.
**[01:58] Hort**
Who comes to mind when
you think you might die?
**[02:02] Saybil**
When I think I might die?
**[02:09] Saybil**
Oh...
**[02:10] Saybil**
I think I might like Professor Los.
**[02:19] Hort**
I get that.
**[02:21] Hort**
I adore Professor Los, too!
**[02:25] Hort**
You can always talk to me, so promise me!
**[02:29] Hort**
That you'll come to me for love advice first!
**[02:34] Saybil**
Th-Thanks.
**[02:36] Saybil**
I wish there were something
I could do for you, too.
**[02:40] Hort**
How about a morning magic supply?
Is that okay?
**[02:44] Hort**
Thanks!
**[02:45] Saybil**
Sure.
**[02:57] Saybil**
I can't!
**[02:58] Hort**
What?
**[03:00] Saybil**
Sorry, Hort.
**[03:02] Saybil**
I need to go see Professor Zero.
***SIGN*** Episode 9 A Stone Cast Into the Pond
**[04:51] Saybil**
*I think I might like Professor Los.*
**[04:57] Los**
Yes! I shall pretend I never heard that!
**[05:00] Hort**
Professor Los! Professor Los!
**[05:02] Hort**
Sayb says he likes you!
**[05:08] Hort**
P-Professor Los?
**[05:13] Los**
Hort, one should not go around blabbing
someone else's feelings to others.
**[05:29] Saybil**
Professor Zero,
**[05:31] Saybil**
I, um...
**[05:34] Zero**
Sit down, young man.
**[05:36] ---**
Then we can talk.
**[05:40] Hort**
Professor Los, you won't leave us, will you?
**[05:43] Los**
Why dost thou ask that?
**[05:45] Hort**
'Cause teachers run when a
student falls for them, right?
**[05:50] Hort**
Since it's a burden and a pain.
**[05:53] Hort**
I know, because something like
that happened at the Church!
**[05:58] Los**
I should like to dissemble,
but I am fond of keen insight.
**[06:02] Los**
Just as thou fearest,
I am the type of teacher who runs.
**[06:08] Hort**
No! Please, no!
**[06:10] Hort**
I don't want you to leave, Professor!
**[06:13] Hort**
And it would be so sad for Sayb, too,
if the person he likes disappears!
**[06:18] Los**
That's why I was going to pretend
not to have heard anything...
**[06:22] Los**
Worry not. I have yet to
tire of observing you three.
**[06:32] Zero**
It happened sooner than I expected.
**[06:35] Zero**
And your reaction is calmer
than I feared it would be.
**[06:38] Saybil**
But I was frantic when I got here.
**[06:41] Zero**
True, you were.
**[06:44] Zero**
But you weren't trembling with fear,
**[06:47] Zero**
nor were you a captive of despair.
**[06:49] Zero**
You have gained the strength not
to be crushed by your memories.
**[06:54] Saybil**
Crushed by my memories?
**[06:57] Zero**
Unpleasant memories can at times become a
poison that eats away at you from the inside.
**[07:08] Saybil**
Why did I suddenly remember?
**[07:12] Zero**
I imagine because your life was in danger.
**[07:15] Zero**
In other words, you sought to live.
**[07:19] Zero**
Young man, you are no longer empty.
**[07:23] Zero**
You sought a way to fight, even if it meant
dredging up painful memories.
**[07:29] Saybil**
My mother told me something.
**[07:31] Saybil**
She said never approach a
witch with eyes like mine.
**[07:37] Zero**
These eyes are somewhat special.
**[07:40] Zero**
They are something my brother
and I inherited from our father.
**[07:45] Zero**
And that brother is your father, Thirteen.
**[07:55] Zero**
Thirteen and I are each other's
last remaining brethren.
**[08:02] Zero**
Perhaps that's why he would have done
anything for me, even destroy the world.
**[08:08] Zero**
Your magic is part of that.
**[08:10] Zero**
He plotted for it all to be offered up to me.
**[08:14] Zero**
He must have realized that if his
blood and your mother's combined,
**[08:18] Zero**
he would obtain a child with limitless magic.
**[08:23] Zero**
Your mother caught on and fled.
**[08:29] Saybil**
So then... you're...
**[08:31] Zero**
That makes me your aunt.
**[08:33] Saybil**
So there's not really
any danger. Isn't that right?
**[08:37] Zero**
Even so, most of the pain you've
experienced is my fault.
**[08:41] Saybil**
It may have been because of you,
but that doesn't mean it was your fault.
**[08:46] Saybil**
Besides. If not for you,
Professor Zero, I would not exist.
**[08:54] Zero**
You take after him.
**[08:56] Saybil**
After my father?
**[08:58] Zero**
Only in the good aspects, I mean.
**[09:01] Saybil**
I want to hear about my father.
**[09:04] Saybil**
Or, I mean, I want to know.
**[09:07] Saybil**
To know just who I am...
**[09:10] Zero**
Your father was a thorough rationalist.
**[09:14] Zero**
If it was rational,
**[09:16] ---**
he could even work with someone who
was a mortal enemy moments earlier.
**[09:19] Zero**
But rationality at times leads to cruelty.
**[09:24] Zero**
As a result of his extreme rationalism,
he committed a grave, irreparable misdeed.
**[09:31] Zero**
The war.
**[09:33] Zero**
To obtain a world for witches,
Thirteen sacrificed countless lives.
**[09:38] Zero**
An evil sorcerer whose name
will go down in history.
**[09:41] Zero**
That is my brother, your father.
**[09:45] Saybil**
I feel like I know a little
better what I want to be.
**[09:50] Saybil**
This morning I went to supply Hort
with magic, but I couldn't do it.
**[09:56] Saybil**
I felt like I might kill Hort,
and I got scared.
**[10:01] Zero**
I see.
**[10:02] Saybil**
But I want to keep being a magic supplier,
**[10:07] Saybil**
at least during the field program.
**[10:10] Zero**
For your friends?
**[10:12] Saybil**
For me.
**[10:14] Saybil**
Hort and Kudo are going to
teach me magic in exchange.
**[10:18] Saybil**
So please let me practice on you, Professor.
**[10:20] Saybil**
Since even if I mess up,
you won't die.
**[10:28] Saybil**
What? Both hands?
**[10:29] Zero**
We'll circulate magic between us.
**[10:32] ---**
Keep adjusting so the amount stays constant.
**[10:44] Saybil**
Kudo!
**[10:47] Zero**
Be calm. Don't break your concentration.
**[10:49] Zero**
Sorcery and magic require concentration.
**[10:52] Zero**
If you stop your incantation every
time a comrade screams in combat,
**[10:57] Zero**
you'll lose people you could have saved.
**[10:59] Saybil**
But...
**[11:01] Saybil**
I'll become stronger.
**[11:04] Zero**
Yes. You will indeed get stronger.
**[11:07] ---**
Perhaps even stronger than I.
**[11:10] Los**
My goodness.
**[11:13] Los**
It seems we arrived quite a bit late.
**[11:21] Los**
Oh, thou art younger than I thought.
**[11:25] Los**
Thy face was in quite a state last night.
**[11:31] Hort**
What are you doing, Tyrant? Let go of him!
**[11:38] the Tyrant**
Okey dokey.
**[11:46] Los**
My dear Ludens,
**[11:49] Los**
say hello!
**[11:58] Hort**
You think he's here on
orders from the Church?
**[12:01] Kudo**
I bet so. To the Church,
a penniless kid is just a pawn.
**[12:07] [Hearthful?]**
There are many good-hearted
people within the Church, too.
**[12:13] [Hearthful?]**
I can't say I approve of
such over-generalization.
**[12:17] Los**
Ah, if it isn't Lady Hearthful!
**[12:20] Los**
Shouldst thou not be at the school?
**[12:23] [Hearthful?]**
I ended class in the morning today.
**[12:26] [Hearthful?]**
I brought lunch for our patient.
**[12:29] [Hearthful?]**
Only, I heard a scream on the way,
so I came to investigate.
**[12:35] [Hearthful?]**
Please forgive me for
essentially eavesdropping.
**[12:38] Los**
Thou hast a proper sense of
yourself as being protected.
**[12:43] Los**
Still, lately it smells like
trouble is brewing, does it not?
**[12:47] Los**
Dost thou not feel it is
time to flee the village?
**[12:51] [Hearthful?]**
Goodness, no.
**[12:53] [Hearthful?]**
It is to be expected that the extremists
within the Church would target a witch village.
**[12:58] [Hearthful?]**
Everyone who came here was
prepared for that possibility.
**[13:03] the Tyrant**
Whaddya want?
**[13:04] [Hearthful?]**
As I said, I brought you lunch.
**[13:08] the Tyrant**
Oh... well, that was... kind of ya.
**[13:13] [Hearthful?]**
This one is
**[13:16] [Hearthful?]**
for him.
**[13:18] [Hearthful?]**
He is still just a kid.
**[13:21] [Hearthful?]**
Did the extremists not consider
that a child like him would fail?
**[13:28] Hort**
Good point.
**[13:29] Los**
He is chum.
**[13:32] Los**
To the anti-witch faction,
this village is a murky swamp.
**[13:36] Los**
They do not know what fish
there might be, or how many.
**[13:40] [Hearthful?]**
So then, he's...?
**[13:42] Los**
They probably wished to see how this young man
would be killed for attacking with clear hostility.
**[13:52] Kudo**
He'll get no sympathy from me!
**[13:54] Kudo**
He tried to stab not just
me, but Professor Los, too!
**[13:58] Kudo**
He attacked the one he thought
was weakest to break through.
**[14:02] Kudo**
He'd even have no qualms
killing the village children.
**[14:07] Los**
Ah, but, Kudo, no one said
anything about sympathy.
**[14:11] Kudo**
I don't... I didn't...
**[14:14] Los**
Thou dost, right?
**[14:15] Los**
Though dost have sympathy for him, right?
**[14:19] Los**
Very well!
**[14:20] Los**
I am fond of compassion
that overcomes even hatred!
**[14:23] Los**
Here, I shall pat thee for it!
**[14:25] Hort**
I'm jealous!
**[14:26] Kudo**
Stop it!
**[14:27] Hort**
I'll show compassion, too! I will!
**[14:28] [Hearthful?]**
That is bad manners.
**[14:30] [Hearthful?]**
Would you like to sit and eat at a table?
**[14:32] the Tyrant**
I'm an Arbiter, you know.
**[14:35] [Hearthful?]**
Even for Arbiters and witches,
etiquette and manners are important.
**[14:40] the Tyrant**
Oh? Am I gonna etiquette
my enemies to death?
**[14:44] [Hearthful?]**
Other people's opinions of you can
be a way of protecting yourself.
**[14:48] [Hearthful?]**
Manners are a useful and efficient
way of gaining positive regard.
**[14:54] the Tyrant**
I'm only regarded for killing.
**[14:58] [Hearthful?]**
You intend to build relationships with
others in this village through killing?
**[15:04] the Tyrant**
That's my job. Ain't that right, boss?
**[15:08] Hort**
Your job is protecting, not killing!
**[15:12] the Tyrant**
Ain't that the same thing?
**[15:14] Hort**
Not at all!
**[15:16] [Hearthful?]**
Ah, yes. If your job is to protect the village,
then you need to learn about it.
**[15:22] [Hearthful?]**
Might I show you around the village?
**[15:25] Hort**
Huh? U-Um, I think that's
dangerous. He's a killer.
**[15:30] the Tyrant**
I ain't gonna kill anybody for free.
**[15:33] the Tyrant**
But if there's money in it, then—
**[15:37] [Hearthful?]**
I must inform you that
acting fearsome like that
**[15:40] [Hearthful?]**
will gain you nothing here.
**[15:43] [Hearthful?]**
No one in this village will fear you.
**[15:47] the Tyrant**
Oh, is that so?
**[15:54] [Hearthful?]**
Professor Los, no need to escalate.
**[15:58] [Hearthful?]**
I'm sure it was just a little test to
see if I really wouldn't be afraid.
**[16:04] Los**
Do not play games like this again, Tyrant.
**[16:07] ---**
Next time thy head shall fly.
**[16:10] the Tyrant**
My bad.
**[16:13] [Hearthful?]**
Shall we go, then, Mr. Tyrant?
**[16:18] Mercenary**
Hey, he's just a kid.
**[16:21] Mercenary**
So the assailant was just some kid.
**[16:24] Mercenary**
I wanted to get some
information out of him,
**[16:28] Mercenary**
but this changes the plan.
**[16:30] Kudo**
What was the plan?
**[16:33] Mercenary**
Torture.
**[16:35] Kudo**
N-No torturing!
**[16:38] Mercenary**
I'm saying I'm not gonna torture a kid.
**[16:40] Kudo**
No adults, either!
**[16:42] Kudo**
The plan was to send him to Wenias
once his condition is stable!
**[16:47] Kudo**
But *torture*?
**[16:49] Kudo**
That ain't the rule of law!
**[16:51] Hort**
W-Wow, Kudo!
**[16:53] Hort**
You sound super smart!
**[16:55] Hort**
I agree!
**[16:57] Hort**
No torture!
**[16:58] Mercenary**
You're quite right.
**[17:00] Mercenary**
If torture's out, then this
is a job for the priest.
**[17:03] Kudo**
The priest?
**[17:05] Hort**
True. The Father can use verbal torment—
**[17:08] Hort**
Look out!
**[17:11] Priest**
I'm surprised. That was intended to hit.
**[17:15] Hort**
No violence! You call yourself a clergyman?
**[17:18] Priest**
You never know who could be listening.
**[17:22] Priest**
If you grasped that better, I would
not need to resort to violence.
**[17:29] Priest**
Also, look.
**[17:31] Priest**
He's awake. Has been for a while.
**[17:50] Priest**
Realize your position,
**[17:52] Priest**
heretic who comprehends not a single
ounce of the chaste Church's aims.
**[17:56] [Kady?]**
Damn it! Is everyone in
this village a monster?
**[18:00] Priest**
What is evil?
**[18:03] Priest**
Just what
**[18:04] Priest**
is a monster?
**[18:06] Priest**
If your head is for show and lacks even
the sense an infant would retain,
**[18:11] Priest**
shall I cut it off and replace it
with the head of that monster there?
**[18:16] Kudo and Mercenary**
*Does he mean me?*
**[18:17] Hort and Los**
Yikes.
**[18:19] Priest**
Can the room be made dark?
**[18:22] Los**
Indeed.
**[18:36] Hort**
Whoa! I-It's so dark!
**[18:39] Los**
'Tis roughly a moonlit night.
**[18:41] Los**
Perhaps a bit too bright
for the priest's eyes.
**[18:45] Priest**
No. This is enough.
**[18:47] Priest**
I will ask you several questions,
but you need not answer them.
**[18:52] Priest**
If you wish to answer, I will not stop you.
**[18:55] Priest**
But if you lie, I will know.
**[19:02] Priest**
Were you the only one sent to this
village with the Remnant of Disaster?
**[19:09] [Kady?]**
Good question.
**[19:10] Priest**
Affirmed. Well, as anticipated.
**[19:14] [Kady?]**
What?! I didn't say—
**[19:17] Priest**
Are further attacks with
Remnants of Disaster planned?
**[19:23] [Kady?]**
How should I know?
**[19:25] Priest**
You showed signs of embarrassment.
**[19:27] Priest**
I see. It appears you really don't know.
**[19:30] Priest**
Furthermore, you are embarrassed
you weren't informed.
**[19:34] Priest**
Is there a plan to rescue you?
**[19:36] [Kady?]**
D—
**[19:38] Priest**
Strong negative.
**[19:39] Priest**
It was made clear to you that you
would not be rescued if captured.
**[19:44] Hort**
What? How does he know? Is it a bluff?
**[19:48] Los**
Facial expressions.
**[19:49] Los**
Movements of the pupils, eyelids, and lips.
**[19:52] Los**
He is reading unconsciously
expressed emotion.
**[19:55] Hort**
He can do that?!
**[19:57] Priest**
I have the general picture.
**[19:59] Priest**
You may let it be light again.
**[20:04] Priest**
To be frank,
**[20:05] Priest**
we gained little information.
**[20:08] Priest**
Nor can we exclude the possibility that the
boy was supplied with false information.
**[20:14] Los**
From the fact that they acquired
a Remnant of Destruction,
**[20:18] Los**
a higher-up at the Church is involved.
Someone fairly high up, at that.
**[20:25] Priest**
Unfortunately.
**[20:27] Los**
So someone is presenting themselves as
a peace faction, but supporting the extremists.
**[20:33] Mercenary**
The internal conflict within the
Church is pretty messy right now, isn't it?
**[20:37] ---**
How alarming.
**[20:39] Los**
Someone so high up must have better
cards to play than a powerless boy.
**[20:44] Los**
In other words,
**[20:46] Los**
further moves ought to be coming.
**[20:49] Los**
But strangely, there has been no movement.
**[20:53] Los**
What should be happening, isn't.
**[20:55] Los**
Which means,
**[20:56] Los**
the move has already been made in secret.
**[20:59] Los**
We must assume so.
**[21:00] Los**
For now, regarding that boy,
**[21:03] Los**
it may be best to delay his
transfer to Wenias for a bit.
**[21:09] Hort**
The adults are deciding
everything themselves.
**[21:14] Hort**
I can fight, too, you know!
**[21:17] Hort**
Yeah, right.
**[21:19] Hort**
A student who can't take
responsibility can't do anything.
**[21:35] [Hearthful?]**
My, how rare for you to come by the school.
**[21:40] [Hearthful?]**
I was just showing Mr. Tyrant around.
**[21:44] Hort**
Oh.
**[21:45] Hort**
What's that they're making?
**[21:47] [Hearthful?]**
He says it's a trap to catch fish.
**[21:50] [Hearthful?]**
He apparently worked at a workshop
that made traps for hunting.
**[21:54] Hort**
Did he say, "traps for hunting people"?
**[21:58] [Hearthful?]**
Yes. First thing.
**[22:02] [Hearthful?]**
Apparently he can't help but try to scare me.
**[22:05] [Hearthful?]**
He's like a little kid.
**[22:07] Laios**
Look, mister! I finished my trap!
**[22:13] the Tyrant**
I'd say this looks pretty good.
**[22:16] Laios**
Ms. Hearthful! I wanna go to the river!
**[22:19] [Hearthful?]**
A fine idea. Why don't we all
go there together tomorrow?
**[22:23] Laios**
Yay!
**[22:32] [Hearthful?]**
I suppose the idea of us going
alone is still a little worrisome.
**[22:36] [Hearthful?]**
Might I ask you to escort us?
**[22:39] Hort**
O-Of course!
**[22:41] Laios**
Are you coming, too, mister?
**[22:42] the Tyrant**
Depends on the boss.
I don't get to decide.
**[22:46] Hort**
Of course you're coming, too!
**[22:48] Hort**
Don't forget, you're my servant!
**[22:52] the Tyrant**
Sure, sure.
**[22:53] the Tyrant**
But are ya sure? You want a killer
like me to be around kids?
**[22:58] Hort**
Hey! Not in front of the children!
**[23:01] Laios**
Mister, are you gonna kill us?
**[23:04] the Tyrant**
Nah, I mean... I don't intend to.
**[23:07] Laios**
Then it's fine for him to be
around us. Right, everyone?
**[23:11] Kids**
I agree!
**[23:11] Kids**
Yeah!
**[23:14] the Tyrant**
What're ya teaching these kids?
**[23:17] [Hearthful?]**
As I told you.
**[23:18] [Hearthful?]**
No resident of this village will fear you.
**[23:22] [Hearthful?]**
If there isn't sufficient reason to fear,
**[23:24] [Hearthful?]**
we won't be scared of anything.
**[23:42] Kudo**
*The transfer is postponed?*
**[23:47] [Kady?]**
Damn it!
**[23:49] Kudo**
Hey.
**[23:50] Kudo**
Come with me.

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

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

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