[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!
