[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! SIGN    Next Episode "Respective Costs" [23:58] Uls     Laios, stay away from Saybil. [24:01] Laios     What? How come? [24:03] the Tyrant     Next episode: "Respective Costs." [24:06] Los     Why art thou saying it?!
