[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.
