***SIGN*** Episode 13
The Duke, Alice, and the Magic Pool
**[02:21] Alice**
Your Grace.
**[02:23] Duke**
Alice, you scared me!
**[02:25] Duke**
You're too close! But I guess
you're always too close.
**[02:27] Alice**
I knocked, but there was no answer.
**[02:30] Duke**
Oh, yeah?
**[02:32] Duke**
I guess I was focusing.
**[02:34] Alice**
A card tower?
**[02:36] Alice**
You're quite good with your hands.
**[02:38] Alice**
The way you were panicking a moment ago,
**[02:41] Alice**
I assumed you were by yourself because you
didn't want me to see what you were doing.
**[02:45] Duke**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[02:46] Alice**
You have no idea at all?
**[02:49] Duke**
No! So stay away from me!
**[02:52] Duke**
You'll die if you touch me!
**[02:55] Alice**
I couldn't help myself.
The way you reacted was so cute.
**[02:58] Duke**
Be careful!
**[02:59] Duke**
If you died, I'd die too.
**[03:02] Alice**
Why?
**[03:03] Duke**
Why? Because I love you.
**[03:07] Alice**
Oh my. That's even cuter, Your Grace.
**[03:17] Duke**
*I want Alice to think I'm cool, not cute!*
**[03:22] Duke**
* Just watch! I'll do something*
* awesome to impress her!*
**[03:26] Duke**
*Well, she's certainly watching.*
**[03:29] Duke**
I want to concentrate on placing the cards.
**[03:30] Duke**
Can you hand them to me?
**[03:33] Alice**
Of course,
**[03:33] Alice**
Your Grace.
**[03:34] Duke**
Don't put them there!
**[03:36] Alice**
I'll put some here, too.
**[03:39] Duke**
*I can't concentrate at all!*
**[03:42] Alice**
I love seeing you so serious.
**[03:45] Duke**
Please, just let me focus!
**[03:52] Duke**
I know I've got more important
things I should be doing.
**[03:57] Duke**
My mother gave me that time limit.
**[04:01] Alice**
Yes.
**[04:03] (Flashback) Mom**
You must break your curse
by spring at the latest.
**[04:08] Duke**
I don't like it, but...
**[04:12] Duke**
In her own way, she'd been
waiting for me this whole time.
**[04:16] Duke**
I want to make her happy.
**[04:18] Duke**
Honestly, I'd be fine with
Walter becoming the next heir.
**[04:22] (Flashback) Mom**
If you cannot, then I shall
make Walter the heir.
**[04:27] Duke**
Of course, I want to break the curse,
and not because I want to be heir.
**[04:31] Duke**
Cuff and Zain are helping me.
**[04:33] Duke**
More than anything, I want to do it for you.
**[04:37] Alice**
Your Grace...
**[04:50] Duke**
Alice!
**[05:17] Ringmaster**
Have you enjoyed this night
filled with mystery and wonder?
**[05:21] Ringmaster**
This concludes tonight's
Circus Gemini performance.
**[05:33] Hugo**
The crowd loved you, Cuff!
**[05:35] Hugo**
Tonight's show was so cool!
**[05:37] Hugo**
I never would've had this much
fun if I'd stayed a pickpocket!
**[05:42] Hugo**
Thanks for inviting me here, Cuff!
**[05:45] Cuff**
You should thank the Ringmaster
for inviting you here.
**[05:50] Hugo**
Just you wait.
**[05:51] Hugo**
I'll get even better at my tricks
**[05:53] Hugo**
and become a big-time man who's worthy of you!
**[06:00] Zain**
Hugo, you are far too young
to be trying to seduce girls.
**[06:04] Hugo**
Let me go, Zain!
**[06:06] Hugo**
Or I'll rip that weird
mask right off your face!
**[06:07] Zain**
I'd like to see you try—
**[06:09] Zain**
Ow! Ow!
**[06:10] Zain**
Ringmaster!
**[06:11] Zain**
He's bothering me! Make him go away!
**[06:14] Ringmaster**
Sure.
**[06:16] Ringmaster**
It's past your bedtime, kid.
**[06:18] Hugo**
Do you all pick me up the same way?
**[06:21] Hugo**
*Why* do you all pick me up the same way?
**[06:23] Ringmaster**
I'm glad you guys came.
The audience loves you.
**[06:28] Ringmaster**
Night.
**[06:29] Hugo**
Damn it!
**[06:30] Hugo**
Cuff, good night!
**[06:31] Hugo**
Zain, go screw yourself!
**[06:33] Hugo**
See you tomorrow!
**[06:34] Zain**
Right, good night!
**[06:36] Zain**
That kid might not like me,
but he's a hard worker.
**[06:41] Zain**
He said he wants to work
here and support his family.
**[06:44] Cuff**
Yup. He was only stealing because
he didn't have a choice.
**[06:48] Cuff**
This is the first time I've ever been
given a flower. I think I like it!
**[06:52] Zain**
Well...
**[06:54] Zain**
I'll get you a flower too, then!
**[06:55] Zain**
One this big!
**[06:58] Cuff**
Oh, uh, thanks.
**[07:03] Zain**
Hey, Cuff.
**[07:05] Zain**
How long are we going to stay here?
**[07:07] Zain**
It's close to Alice and the Duke, and nobody
asks questions about how I look, but...
**[07:13] Cuff**
We need to get out of here before
they find out we're witches.
**[07:18] Cuff**
I don't want to cause
problems for the circus.
**[07:21] Cuff**
But... I don't want to leave this place.
**[07:27] Zain**
Oh, right! I just remembered something!
**[07:34] Zain**
Last time I went to the Witches' World,
**[07:36] Zain**
I swiped some magic items
while Daleth wasn't looking.
**[07:40] Cuff**
You're no better than Hugo.
**[07:42] Zain**
They were just sitting in an
old storeroom. Nobody will notice.
**[07:47] Zain**
And...
**[07:48] Zain**
*Daleth owes me.*
**[07:51] Zain**
* She hasn't let me fondle*
* even one of her boobs!*
**[07:54] Cuff**
And what?
**[07:55] Zain**
No, nothing!
**[08:00] Zain**
Here.
**[08:06] Cuff**
Look at all this stuff!
**[08:08] Cuff**
Let's take them with us next time
we go see Alice and the Duke!
**[08:11] Cuff**
One of them might help break his curse!
**[08:15] Zain**
What do you want to live as?
A witch or a human?
**[08:20] Zain**
If you don't use your magic,
you can pass as a human.
**[08:25] Zain**
You've got friends here.
You wouldn't be alone.
**[08:30] Zain**
* And it would be less dangerous*
* than staying with me.*
**[08:35] Cuff**
I'm cold. Let me inside your jacket.
**[08:44] Cuff**
I don't care if I'm a human or
a witch... as long as I'm with you.
**[08:50] Zain**
Oh. I see.
**[08:54] Zain**
*Boobs!*
***SIGN*** Emptiness
**[08:56] Zain**
*Her boobs are touching me!*
**[09:00] Zain**
*G Cup!*
**[09:08] Daleth**
Every time I see it, I want it more.
**[09:12] Daleth**
The magic to control time...
**[09:19] Daleth**
You agree, don't you, Sharon?
***SIGN*** There you are, Viola.
***SIGN*** I'm glad you're still here. I thought you might've gone to see the eldest son.
**[09:54] Viola**
If I want to go, that's my choice, right?
**[09:57] Viola**
Mother never told me I couldn't.
***SIGN*** That's our grandfather and grandmother.
**[10:03] Viola**
Yes.
**[10:04] Viola**
I know it's a painting, but still,
**[10:06] Viola**
every time I see her, I can't
help but think how cute she is.
**[10:09] Viola**
I can see why Grandfather
was so in love with her.
***SIGN*** Yes.
***SIGN*** She died in a carriage accident shortly after Father was born.
**[10:18] Viola**
And he never remarried.
**[10:22] Viola**
He was probably so lonely.
**[10:29] Rob**
Perhaps I'm starting to see things...
**[10:31] Cuff**
Sorry to interrupt!
**[10:33] Duke**
Cuff?
**[10:35] Cuff**
Was I really interrupting?
**[10:37] Duke**
No, not at all!
**[10:38] Alice**
It's been a while.
**[10:40] Cuff**
The circus has been so busy lately
that I haven't been able to drop by.
**[10:45] Duke**
We're just glad you came.
**[10:48] Duke**
We can't really go into town.
**[10:52] Cuff**
I love it here 'cause I can
use all the magic I want!
**[10:55] Duke**
You'll burn the mansion down!
**[10:57] Cuff**
Don't worry! These flames are magic,
and do whatever I want!
**[11:00] Cuff**
When they disappear, they leave
nothing behind at all!
**[11:02] Duke**
Well, that's okay, then.
**[11:04] Duke**
But it's really hot in here now...
**[11:07] Cuff**
Right?
**[11:08] Cuff**
It's like the middle of summer, right?
**[11:12] Cuff**
So let's take a dip in the pool!
**[11:16] Duke**
Pool?
**[11:18] Alice**
I recognize this design.
**[11:20] Cuff**
Zain brought it from the Witches' World.
**[11:22] Cuff**
Now that I've heated up the room,
**[11:24] Cuff**
we can enjoy the pool even though
it's the middle of winter!
**[11:26] Cuff**
He even chose our swimsuits!
**[11:28] Duke**
You sure can tell what he likes...
**[11:30] Duke**
So, where is he?
**[11:33] Cuff**
Oh, he's...
**[11:34] (Flashback) Zain**
Listen carefully, Cuff.
**[11:36] (Flashback) Zain**
When you go swimming with
Alice in your swimsuits,
**[11:38] (Flashback) Zain**
make sure you invite me!
**[11:40] (Flashback) Zain**
It's dangerous for two girls
to be in the water alone!
**[11:43] (Flashback) Zain**
You need me to keep watch!
**[11:45] (Flashback) Zain**
You need me, okay?!
**[11:47] Cuff**
I left him at home.
**[11:49] Cuff**
Anyway, Alice, let's get in the pool.
**[11:52] Cuff**
It's so hot!
**[11:53] Alice**
All right, just a moment.
**[11:55] Duke**
What are you doing?
**[11:56] Alice**
It's so hot in here, I thought I'd take
off my clothes before getting my swimsuit.
**[12:00] Duke**
Get the swimsuit first!
**[12:01] Duke**
Both of you, please change in another room!
**[12:05] Cuff**
I already changed, though.
**[12:06] Duke**
That was fast!
**[12:11] Duke**
*I can't look...*
**[12:14] Duke**
*And Alice is right here.*
**[12:17] Alice**
I'll go change in my room, then.
**[12:27] Alice**
I have returned.
**[12:30] Duke**
*She's so cute...*
**[12:32] Duke**
You had your own swimsuit, then.
**[12:35] Alice**
Yes.
**[12:35] Alice**
I assumed I'd get a chance
to show it to you someday.
**[12:39] Cuff**
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
**[12:39] Alice**
You're not getting in the pool?
**[12:42] Duke**
I'll pass.
**[12:43] Duke**
You two have fun.
**[12:45] Alice**
You can sit there and watch us...
**[12:48] Alice**
all you like.
**[12:49] Duke**
Okay...
**[12:56] Cuff**
The water feels so good.
**[12:58] Cuff**
Whee! Splash!
**[13:00] Duke**
*Alice is so pretty.*
**[13:04] Duke**
*Zain is gonna be so mad later.*
**[13:07] Zain**
It's not fair!
**[13:09] Duke**
Hey, Cuff.
**[13:12] Duke**
You said you've been busy with the circus.
**[13:14] Duke**
Do the people there know you're a witch?
**[13:17] Cuff**
No, I don't think they do.
**[13:20] Duke**
Why did you join the circus, anyway?
**[13:23] Cuff**
Well...
**[13:25] Ringmaster**
You guys ever thought
about joining the circus?
**[13:28] Ringmaster**
We don't get a lot of customers,
but every day is fun!
**[13:31] Cuff**
The place is always on the verge
of bankruptcy, but it's a nice place.
**[13:35] Cuff**
Lately we've had more customers, so it's busy.
**[13:39] Duke**
I'd love to go see you some day.
**[13:41] Duke**
Right, Alice?
**[13:43] Alice**
Yes.
**[13:43] Cuff**
Any time! We'd always be happy to see you!
**[13:46] Alice**
Kyah!
**[13:46] Alice**
*Kyah! Kyah! Kyah!*
**[13:49] Duke**
*She's so cute...*
**[13:52] Cuff**
Now it's your turn to splash
me as hard as you can!
**[13:55] Cuff**
We can have a splash fight!
**[13:56] Alice**
Of course.
**[13:59] Cuff**
You're so nice...
**[14:02] Cuff**
What are you doing?
**[14:05] Duke**
I thought I could help you feel
like you're on a tropical island.
**[14:10] Cuff**
It's not just the piano. You can paint, too.
**[14:13] Duke**
Thanks.
**[14:15] Duke**
*Oh no... It's a little too hot.*
**[14:18] Duke**
*I'm getting dizzy.*
**[14:22] Alice**
Your Grace.
**[14:23] Alice**
You seem hot. Why don't you join us?
**[14:28] Alice**
The water is cold and feels so good.
**[14:31] Duke**
No, I... I don't like baring my skin.
**[14:37] Duke**
*Oh no!*
**[14:59] Duke**
Alice, are you okay?
**[15:01] Alice**
Yes, I'm fine.
**[15:05] Duke**
I need to make sure I'm staying hydrated.
**[15:07] Alice**
It's hot. We need to be careful.
**[15:10] Alice**
I've started to turn red myself.
**[15:18] Cuff**
That was so much fun!
**[15:21] Cuff**
I'm heading home, but you guys can have that.
**[15:24] Duke**
Th-Thanks.
**[15:26] Cuff**
And this is from Zain.
**[15:28] Duke**
A box? What's inside?
**[15:30] Cuff**
He didn't say.
**[15:32] (Flashback) Z**
I randomly grabbed a bunch of stuff!
**[15:34] (Flashback) Z**
So I'll have him try them out for me!
**[15:37] Cuff**
That's what he said.
**[15:38] Duke**
Am I his guinea pig?
**[15:46] Rob**
Perhaps it's part of a series?
**[15:49] Duke**
Yeah, probably.
**[15:58] Duke**
"Sweet dreams."
**[16:01] Duke**
What does it do, I wonder?
**[16:03] Alice**
Something they use in the Witches'
World to help them sleep, perhaps?
**[16:05] Duke**
That would definitely be a nightmare.
**[16:08] Duke**
Well, Zain gave it to me.
It can't be that dangerous.
**[16:13] Duke**
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
**[16:16] Duke**
Pop!
**[16:19] Duke**
Oh?
**[16:24] Duke**
It's empty?
**[16:27] Alice**
Your Grace?
**[16:35] Duke**
What is this place?
**[16:36] Alice**
Welcome, Your Grace.
**[16:39] Duke**
Alice? Why are you dressed like that?
**[16:41] Alice**
I'm a bunny girl.
**[16:42] Duke**
No, I get that, but...
**[16:44] Alice**
In this place, your wishes become real.
**[16:48] Duke**
M-My wishes?
**[16:50] Alice**
I see.
**[16:52] Alice**
So this will allow me to see
into your fantasies, then.
**[16:55] Duke**
Alice?
**[16:56] Duke**
No, this is...
**[16:58] Alice**
You like bunny girls, then?
**[17:00] Duke**
I'll get you for this, Zain!
**[17:02] Alice**
Since this world is a fantasy,
is it safe to touch His Grace?
**[17:07] Alice**
Of course.
**[17:08] Alice**
Would you like to touch me, Young Master?
**[17:10] Alice**
I'll just watch.
**[17:14] Duke**
Please, no!
**[17:16] Duke**
O-Oh, what's behind that door?
**[17:19] Alice**
Oh, this?
**[17:21] Alice**
It contains more of your fantasies.
**[17:24] Alice**
I'll show you around.
**[17:26] Duke**
D-Do I have to go?
**[17:28] Duke**
I've got the feeling Alice might see
something even more embarrassing...
**[17:32] Alice**
I'm very curious.
**[17:35] Alice**
I want to see, too.
**[17:36] Alice**
We agree, then.
**[17:38] Duke**
You're the same person!
**[17:40] Alice**
Let's just go.
**[17:48] Alice**
Oh, look at all of me!
**[17:50] Duke**
I'm so s-sorry.
**[17:52] Alice**
There's nothing to apologize for.
**[17:54] Alice**
Something like this is healthy, actually.
**[17:57] Duke**
I'm feeling nothing but
shame and embarrassment.
**[18:00] Duke**
Why am I being forced to suffer like this?
**[18:02] Alice**
I'm quite enjoying it.
**[18:04] Alice**
I need to write down what
you like before I forget.
**[18:07] Duke**
Please no!
**[18:08] Alice**
Okay, next.
**[18:12] Viola**
Dear Brother!
**[18:14] Duke**
Viola?
**[18:14] Viola**
Um, there's something on this
music sheet I can't read.
**[18:18] Viola**
Tell me what this means again!
**[18:20] Duke**
"Allegretto. Moderately fast,
slower than allegro."
**[18:24] Viola**
Thank you!
**[18:25] Viola**
You're so amazing, Dearest Brother!
**[18:27] Viola**
I'm so proud to be your little sister!
**[18:30] Alice**
Is this a fantasy, too?
**[18:32] Duke**
Yeah, and it's making me sad.
**[18:35] Alice**
Let's keep going.
**[18:51] Duke**
Wow...
**[18:54] Duke**
If I could play the piano
in a place like this...
**[18:57] Duke**
It would be so much fun, I'm sure.
**[19:00] Alice**
Will you play, then?
**[19:03] Duke**
I can?
**[19:04] Alice**
Yes. This is your fantasy, after all.
**[20:02] Alice**
That was wonderful, Your Grace.
**[20:05] Duke**
Thank you.
**[20:07] Alice**
Did you enjoy that?
**[20:09] Duke**
Yeah.
**[20:10] Duke**
I know it's just my own fantasy, though.
**[20:12] Alice**
This is a wonderful world.
**[20:15] Alice**
Let's look around a little more.
**[20:16] Duke**
Um, Alice, I'd rather call it a night...
**[20:21] Alice**
I want to see the depths of your desire.
**[20:24] Duke**
That's a really scary thing to say!
**[20:48] Duke**
A-Alice, what did you see?
**[20:52] Alice**
Your Grace, I didn't know you
imagined me looking like that.
**[20:57] Duke**
Wait, what?
**[20:58] Duke**
There's more?
**[20:59] Alice**
Now, let's get going.
**[21:01] Duke**
H-Hold it! What did you see? Alice? Alice!
**[21:02] Alice**
I'll show you to the exit.
**[21:11] Duke**
I loved playing the piano,
but this box is scary.
**[21:14] Duke**
Zain, why did you give me this?
**[21:17] Alice**
I'll put this away.
**[21:19] Duke**
Yeah. Make sure you lock it up tight.
**[21:23] Alice**
It did make me happy, though.

* And yet, he doesn't feel*
* the least bit lonely.*
**[00:30] Zain**
How many times do we have to go over this?
**[00:32] Zain**
You can't have an omelet without ketchup.
**[00:34] Cuff**
It's demi-glace sauce.
**[00:35] Cuff**
Why? 'Cause demi-glace sauce tastes good.
**[00:37] Zain**
So does ketchup!
**[00:41] Duke**
You guys are lucky. You can tell each
other exactly how you're feeling.
**[00:45] Duke**
I'm jealous.
**[00:46] Zain**
Huh? If you want to say something
to Alice, then why don't you say it?
**[00:50] Duke**
Hmm? But I'm not really
upset with her or anything.
**[00:56] Alice**
Excuse me.
**[01:01] Duke**
Alice...
**[01:02] Duke**
Stop being so cute all the time!
**[01:06] Alice**
You're so handsome all the time, too.
**[01:09] Duke**
That wasn't what I expected
to hear, but I'll take it!
**[01:12] Zain**
Go home!
**[01:13] Zain**
I guess this is your house, though.
***SIGN*** Episode 14
The Duke, Golf, and the Mysterious Beauty
**[02:47] Alice**
Oh, Your Grace.
**[02:49] Alice**
It's your first time, but you're so good.
**[02:52] Duke**
Would you try not to sound so weirdly sexy?
**[02:55] Duke**
I'm just playing mini-golf!
**[02:57] Alice**
You're wonderful, Your Grace.
**[02:59] Duke**
I missed.
**[03:01] Alice**
You hit it a little too hard, I see.
**[03:03] Duke**
Why golf, though?
**[03:06] Alice**
I thought it would serve to fix your lack
of exercise, and give you a change of pace.
**[03:12] Alice**
I just wanted to play with you, Your Grace.
**[03:14] Duke**
So cute!
**[03:18] Alice**
Let's not worry about the rules.
Just aim for the flag and hit it.
**[03:24] Duke**
That motion has nothing to do with golf!
**[03:34] Duke**
Wow!
**[03:36] Duke**
Is there anything you can't do?
**[03:39] Alice**
Perhaps I'm good at it because
it's like sweeping with a broom.
**[03:44] Alice**
I'll show you the trick, if you like.
**[03:46] Duke**
Yes, please.
**[03:48] Alice**
Eyes on the ball, and don't look up.
**[03:53] Alice**
It will send your swing off target.
**[03:54] Duke**
Okay.
**[03:57] Alice**
Your Grace.
**[03:58] Duke**
What?
**[03:59] Alice**
Don't turn around. Just look at the ball.
**[04:05] Alice**
When we're so close, it makes me
feel kind of hot. What about you?
**[04:08] Duke**
You're the one who got close to me!
**[04:14] Duke**
*Don't tell me she's stripping!*
**[04:17] Alice**
That's not where the ball goes, Your Grace...
**[04:21] Duke**
*This is a living hell!*
**[04:23] Duke**
*Golf is a scary sport!*
**[04:24] Alice**
Now try hitting it.
**[04:29] Alice**
Don't try to swing hard or soft.
**[04:31] Alice**
Just raise the club up and swing
it through evenly.
**[04:33] Alice**
For instance, if you raised it this high,
swing it through that much.
**[04:38] Duke**
*Not only did I not get that,*
**[04:40] Duke**
* she was flirting with me as*
* casually as if she was breathing.*
**[04:43] Alice**
Imagine a clock. If you raised it
to 7 o' clock, swing to 5 'o clock.
**[04:48] Alice**
Or 9 to 3.
**[04:50] Alice**
Or 12 to 12.
**[04:54] Duke**
Okay. I wouldn't swing a
putter that hard, though.
**[05:01] Duke**
*Don't look up. Focus on the ball.*
**[05:05] Duke**
*Swing it through as much as you raised it up!*
**[05:15] Duke**
I did it!
**[05:16] Alice**
Wonderful, Your Grace.
**[05:17] Duke**
Yeah, it's so nice to learn something new!
**[05:20] Song**
*Hole in One!*
**[05:22] Song**
*All I'm doing is putting a ball into a hole*
**[05:28] Song**
*So why, so why, is golf so much fun?*
**[05:33] Song**
*Your bold approach*
**[05:36] Song**
*Tee shot, make some tea*
**[05:39] Song**
*It fell into the lake!*
**[05:42] Song**
*You're so great, Your Grace!*
**[05:45] Song**
*Golf, golf, let's all fall in love with golf*
***SIGN*** You want me to dress up like a girl?
**[05:58] Viola**
No, I want to practice makeup on your face!
**[06:04] Viola**
You know, Mom won't let me do my own makeup.
**[06:08] Viola**
And I don't want to ask the maids.
***SIGN*** Sure, if you want.
**[06:12] Viola**
That's my big brother, Walter!
**[06:14] Viola**
He's a nut, but he gets me!
***SIGN*** That doesn't sound like a compliment at all.
**[06:18] Viola**
All right, now let's get to work on your face!
**[06:23] Viola**
First the foundation, then some eyeliner...
**[06:26] Viola**
Add a wig, and then change your clothes...
**[06:30] Viola**
And we're done!
**[06:31] Viola**
Look! Look!
***SIGN*** Impossible...
***SIGN*** This is me?!
**[06:38] Viola**
Don't start taking a liking to it.
**[06:40] Viola**
Hey, why don't you go to the villa
and show it to my dear brother?
***SIGN*** To the eldest?
***SIGN*** I'll do it!
***SIGN*** Because today, I am super-cute!
***SIGN*** I'll make him fall in love with me and tell Mother all about it!
***SIGN*** And then I shall become the heir!
**[06:58] Viola**
*He's such a scumbag.*
***SIGN*** Bam!
***SIGN*** I call it... Project Honeytrap!
***SIGN*** Now hurry and get ready to go, Viola!
***SIGN*** Before my cuteness fades!
**[07:10] Viola**
Well, this should be fun, at least!
***SIGN*** Ha ha! I'm so cute!
**[07:25] Duke**
I guess that one was too weak.
**[07:27] Duke**
Golf's hard.
**[07:30] Alice**
You're getting better, Your Grace.
**[07:32] Duke**
I am?
**[07:34] Viola**
There you are, Dear Brother!
**[07:37] Duke**
Viola and... who?
**[07:39] Viola**
Our new maid!
**[07:41] Viola**
She says she's a fan of yours, so I brought her.
**[07:44] Duke**
A fan? Of me?
**[07:46] Viola**
That's right!
**[07:47] Viola**
She was all, "A curse?! That's so cool!
He's totally my type!"
**[07:51] Duke**
Oh, I see.
**[07:52] Duke**
But why doesn't she talk?
**[07:54] Viola**
She's too nervous to talk!
**[07:58] Walter**
* The fool has no idea what*
* I've got in store for him!*
**[08:01] Walter**
*Kneel in awe before me!*
**[08:03] Walter**
*Initiate Project Honeytrap!*
**[08:07] Walter**
*Stare at me! Come on! Stare!*
***SIGN*** What's going on?
***SIGN*** Most men would react more if a girl flashed her legs, right?
***SIGN*** Is he some kind of psychopath?
**[08:27] Duke**
*She started showing me her legs, too.*
**[08:30] Duke**
*Is that just a maid thing?*
**[08:36] Viola**
Okay, I'll go find Rob!
**[08:39] Viola**
You three have fun!
**[08:42] Duke**
Wait, Viola!
**[08:43] Walter**
*She abandoned me already!*
**[08:45] Viola**
*This is hilarious!*
**[08:47] Viola**
*Continue feeling awkward, Brothers!*
**[08:51] Duke**
U-Um... want to play some golf?
**[08:58] Duke**
I'll go first, then.
**[09:02] Duke**
*Is it true that she's a fan of mine?*
**[09:04] Duke**
*It doesn't sound possible.*
**[09:08] Walter**
*His skills are nothing special.*
**[09:10] Walter**
* If seduction won't work, I'll need*
* to think of something else!*
**[09:14] Alice**
*His Grace looks so sexy playing golf!*
**[09:20] Duke**
Um, you want to go second?
**[09:23] Walter**
*Second?!*
**[09:24] Duke**
You can have my second putter.
**[09:25] Walter**
*Second?!*
**[09:25] Duke**
And my second ball.
**[09:26] Walter**
*Second?!*
**[09:26] Duke**
Sound good?
**[09:28] Walter**
*Second!*
**[09:30] Walter**
*He's always like this!*
**[09:31] Walter**
* From the very bottom of his heart,*
* he mocks me for being the second son!*
**[09:34] Duke**
Um, you okay?
***SIGN*** I'm okay.
***SIGN*** I'm okay.
***SIGN*** I'm okay.
**[09:40] Duke**
* "If I get a hole in one,*
* please go out with me"?*
**[09:43] Duke**
Wh... Wh... What?
**[09:45] Walter**
*Well?*
**[09:46] Walter**
* You may not know me well, but it must*
* make you happy to hear that from a girl!*
**[10:02] Walter**
*Distance is 30.*
**[10:05] Walter**
*No wind. Oaken floor.*
**[10:15] Duke**
"Please marry me like you promised"?
**[10:18] Duke**
Marry you? I didn't promise that!
**[10:21] Duke**
"It's the same."
**[10:23] Duke**
"Let's have the ceremony immediately."
**[10:25] Duke**
"Prepare yourself."
**[10:26] Duke**
N-No...
***SIGN*** Let's have the
ceremony immediately.
***SIGN*** Prepare yourself.
**[10:29] Alice**
No.
**[10:31] Alice**
No!
**[10:34] Alice**
I'm sorry.
**[10:36] Alice**
I forgot my place.
**[10:37] Duke**
*She's so cute.*
**[10:38] Duke**
*She pulled it over her head...*
**[10:41] Duke**
Um, I'm sorry if I'm just
being arrogant here...
**[10:46] Duke**
But there's someone I'm in love with,
so I can't give you what you want.
**[10:52] Duke**
I'm willing to be friends, though.
***SIGN*** Die!
***SIGN*** Farewell!
***SIGN*** Farewell!
**[11:04] Duke**
Aah!
**[11:06] Duke**
Her voice kind of sounded like Walter.
**[11:10] Alice**
Did it?
***SIGN*** Perhaps I wasn't cute enough.
***SIGN*** Will you instruct me further in the Viola Method?
**[11:22] Viola**
Nope!
**[11:41] Cuff**
Don't stare so much, Zain. I'm practicing.
**[11:44] Zain**
What's the problem? You're good!
**[11:46] Cuff**
Don't! You're distracting me!
**[11:48] Hugo**
Cuff! I brought you juice!
**[11:52] Zain**
She's practicing.
**[11:54] Zain**
Scram, kid. Cuff doesn't like sweet stuff.
**[11:56] Cuff**
I love juice!
**[11:59] Hugo**
And I love you, Cuff.
**[12:03] Zain**
Careful. He might've put
something weird in it.
**[12:06] Hugo**
I did not!
**[12:08] Hugo**
Stop acting like her boyfriend!
**[12:09] Hugo**
You're not dating, right?
**[12:12] Cuff**
We're childhood friends.
**[12:14] Zain**
That's right.
**[12:15] Zain**
"Cuff said no so fast
**[12:16] Zain**
It hurt Zain's feelings really bad
**[12:17] Zain**
Now he feels blue
**[12:18] Zain**
5-7-5, but not quite"
**[12:21] Cuff**
Thanks, Hugo.
**[12:23] Hugo**
I'll work hard!
**[12:25] Hugo**
I'll be a big man for you, Cuff.
**[12:29] Cuff**
You're funny.
**[12:32] Zain**
*I know Cuff only sees Hugo as a kid.*
**[12:36] Zain**
*But I really do* not *like this!*
**[12:40] Ringmaster**
You need to win the heart of your precious
Cuff soon, or Hugo might take her!
**[12:45] Zain**
Ringmaster?
**[12:47] Ringmaster**
The customers will be
here soon. Head backstage.
**[12:50] Ringmaster**
We'll start the show like always.
**[12:52] Zain**
O-Okay.
**[12:55] Ringmaster**
You've got it rough, Cuff.
**[12:57] Cuff**
Not at all. Every day is fun.
**[13:00] Cuff**
I love the circus!
**[13:03] Cuff**
Everyone is always so happy.
**[13:04] Ringmaster**
Glad to hear it.
**[13:06] Ringmaster**
The circus is the best
entertainment there is.
**[13:08] Ringmaster**
All are welcome, both as
performers and guests.
**[13:11] Ringmaster**
That's why I don't care who you
are, and I won't ask questions.
**[13:16] Ringmaster**
But it sounds like a fun story, so I'm curious.
**[13:19] Ringmaster**
Tell me any time you feel like it, I guess.
**[13:37] Ringmaster**
The show's about to start.
**[13:39] Ringmaster**
Thanks to all your work,
we've got a packed house today.
**[13:43] Ringmaster**
Fun. Fascinating. But safety first.
**[13:47] Ringmaster**
Stay sharp out there.
**[13:49] All**
Yes, sir!
**[13:50] Zain**
*Win her heart, he said?*
**[13:52] Zain**
*I just can't find the right time to say it...*
**[13:55] Zain**
*If we stay here in the human world,*
**[13:57] Zain**
* somebody's going to find out*
* we're witches eventually.*
**[13:59] Zain**
*Should I just disappear and leave her behind?*
**[14:03] Zain**
*No, but...*
**[14:05] (Flashback) Cuff**
I don't care if I'm a human or
a witch... as long as I'm with you.
**[14:10] Cuff**
You scared?
**[14:12] Cuff**
Don't worry. You've got me,
the great Cuff, by your side!
**[14:16] Zain**
*She has no idea what I'm going through.*
**[14:19] Zain**
*Sure, she is cute, but...*
**[14:22] Cuff**
If you're scared...
**[14:24] Cuff**
You can always hold my hand.
**[14:30] Zain**
* If she's that embarrassed,*
* then she shouldn't have offered.*
**[14:37] Ringmaster**
It's time.
**[14:38] Ringmaster**
Cuff, Zain, you okay?
**[14:41] Cuff/Zain**
It's a "l-let's do our best" handshake!
**[14:51] Zain**
*I'm such a wimp.*
**[14:59] Alice**
Tea is ready, Your Grace.
**[15:02] Duke**
Yeah, thanks.
**[15:09] Duke**
Where am I?
**[15:12] Daleth**
Excuse me. Is this seat taken?
**[15:14] Duke**
You're... Daleth?
**[15:18] Daleth**
I summoned you because
I have something to discuss.
**[15:22] Daleth**
The real you is unconscious
in the room you were just in.
**[15:26] Alice**
Your Grace?
**[15:29] Duke**
Is it my curse you wanted to talk about?
**[15:34] Daleth**
That's part of it, but first
I have a favor I wanted to ask.
**[15:39] Daleth**
You see...
**[15:40] Duke**
Something feels weird...
**[15:42] Daleth**
It seems Alice is concerned
and poking your cheek.
**[15:46] Duke**
She is?
**[15:47] Alice**
Your Grace?
**[15:48] Duke**
Not the neck, Alice!
**[15:52] Duke**
That tickles!
**[15:57] Duke**
S-Sorry.
**[15:59] Daleth**
It's *nice* how close you two are.
**[16:01] Daleth**
Well, whatever.
**[16:03] Daleth**
I want you to try and
persuade someone for me.
**[16:08] Duke**
Persuade?
**[16:09] Alice**
Just as you humans all
excel at different things,
**[16:13] Alice**
we witches all have magic we excel at.
**[16:17] Alice**
Be it controlling fire or
causing plants to grow...
**[16:21] Alice**
Those are the more common types, of course.
**[16:23] Alice**
I'm looking for a witch whose
powers are more advanced.
**[16:27] Alice**
A witch with the power
to control time itself.
**[16:34] Alice**
From the look on your face,
you know who I'm referring to.
**[16:37] Alice**
Yes. Zain is a magical genius.
**[16:40] Alice**
But for some reason, he hides it.
**[16:45] Alice**
If it weren't for the incident with the
logbook, I couldn't have been sure.
**[16:50] Duke**
*She knew...*
**[16:52] Daleth**
And that's why I want you to ask
him to use his time magic again.
**[16:58] Daleth**
He's so nice... He'd do
anything a friend asked.
**[17:03] Daleth**
How about it?
**[17:05] Duke**
I can't do that.
**[17:06] Duke**
I don't know about his magic.
**[17:09] Duke**
And I certainly can't if there's
some reason he doesn't use it.
**[17:12] Daleth**
Well, I thought you'd say that.
**[17:16] Daleth**
He's your friend. I understand.
**[17:19] Daleth**
But if you can do what I ask...
**[17:22] Daleth**
I'm willing to break your curse.
**[17:34] Cuff**
You can't sleep?
**[17:36] Zain**
It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
**[17:40] Cuff**
We've got another performance tomorrow.
**[17:41] Cuff**
Get to sleep soon.
**[17:43] Zain**
I will.
**[17:46] Zain**
Childhood friends...
**[17:53] (Flashback) Zain**
I've heard you're the child
of a witch and a human!
**[17:56] (Flashback) Zain**
I'm Zain. What's your name?
**[17:59] (Flashback) Cuff**
I won't give you my name until you
apologize for throwing that rock.
**[18:03] (Flashback) Zain**
I'm sorry.
**[18:05] (Flashback) Cuff**
I'm Cuff.
**[18:07] (Flashback) Cuff**
Nice to meet you.
**[18:09] Zain**
* My parents sent me to live*
* in the human world so that*
**[18:12] Zain**
*other witches wouldn't try to abuse my power.*
**[18:15] Zain**
*But...*
**[18:17] Zain**
* I still didn't understand the*
* power of the magic I had.*
**[18:28] (Flashback) Zain**
It's just barely alive... but it's
going to wilt at this rate.
**[18:37] (Flashback) Zain**
Leave it to me.
**[18:38] (Flashback) Zain**
I'll use my magic to fix it.
**[18:41] (Flashback) Cuff**
Magic?
**[18:46] (Flashback) Cuff**
It came back to life!
**[18:48] (Flashback) Zain**
It's easy, as long as you have my time magic!
**[18:52] (Flashback) Cuff**
Wow! You're a genius!
**[18:54] (Flashback) Zain**
Yeah! It's a secret to everybody, though!
**[18:56] (Flashback) Zain**
I can do this, too!
**[19:00] (Flashback) Zain**
I stopped time and moved.
**[19:02] (Flashback) Cuff**
Wow!
**[19:04] (Flashback) Zain**
I know what color your panties are, too!
**[19:06] (Flashback) Zain**
They're white with strawberries on them!
**[19:09] (Flashback) Cuff**
You stopped time and looked, huh?
**[19:14] Zain**
*Cuff called me a genius.*
**[19:18] Zain**
*We became friends and played every day.*
**[19:24] Zain**
*But one day while we were out playing,*
**[19:27] Zain**
* our parents were found*
* by human witch-hunters.*
**[19:34] (Flashback) Zain**
Cuff, don't cry! I'll use my time
magic to bring them back to life!
**[19:41] (Flashback) Cuff**
Can you do that?
**[19:43] (Flashback) Zain**
Of course I can! I'm Zain, the magical genius!
**[19:49] Zain**
*I wanted to see her smile.*
**[19:52] Zain**
*But...*
**[19:57] Zain**
* Even magic that can control time*
* can't bring the dead back to life.*
**[20:03] (Flashback) Zain**
I'm sorry, Cuff. I couldn't
save them with my magic.
**[20:08] (Flashback) Zain**
Time can't change fate.
**[20:10] (Flashback) Zain**
I'm sorry... I'm sorry.
**[20:14] (Flashback) Zain**
I'm so sorry...
**[20:19] (Flashback) Cuff**
Don't say you're sorry...
**[20:21] (Flashback) Cuff**
Don't say you're sorry, Zain.
**[20:24] Zain**
*Ever since that day, I've hated my magic.*
**[20:30] Zain**
I couldn't even protect Cuff's smile.
**[20:36] Duke**
Break my curse? What does that mean?
**[20:40] Duke**
Did you curse me in the first place after all?
**[20:41] Daleth**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[20:44] Daleth**
What I said before was the truth.
**[20:46] Daleth**
The witch who cursed you
is gone from this world.
**[20:49] Daleth**
All I can do is...
**[20:52] Duke**
What is this?
**[20:54] Daleth**
I called a witch I know who
excels at breaking curses.
**[20:58] Daleth**
I don't know if they'll succeed,
but it gives you hope, right?
**[21:03] Daleth**
They'll arrive in a few days.
**[21:05] Daleth**
When they're done, do me that favor, please.
**[21:08] Duke**
Wait! You can't do this!
**[21:11] Duke**
Tell me! Why do you need
magic that controls time?
**[21:14] Duke**
Who are you?
**[21:15] Duke**
At least let me see your face!
**[21:18] Daleth**
No. I'm ugly.
**[21:28] Duke**
Alice! That's dangerous!
**[21:30] Alice**
Oh, Your Grace. You hadn't woken up,
so I was going to do CPR.
**[21:35] Duke**
The second you tried, you'd go to sleep forever!
**[21:39] Duke**
R-Right! Daleth told me she
needed me to do something!
**[21:43] Duke**
She said a witch is coming!
**[21:45] Alice**
Calm down, Your Grace.
**[21:48] Alice**
Is that a business card?
**[21:58] Duke**
An octopus?
**[22:02] Duke**
Why an octopus?

* Can you imagine a life where you*
* can't even touch the person you love?*
**[00:09] Narrator**
* The curse the witch laid upon him caused*
* him to take the lives of any he touched.*
**[00:14] Narrator**
* His own mother distanced herself from him,*
* his friends called him a monster...*
**[00:19] Narrator**
*Even people he'd never met spoke of him as*
**[00:20] Narrator**
*"death incarnate that dwells in the forest."*
**[00:24] Narrator**
* And yet, he doesn't feel*
* the least bit lonely.*
**[00:35] Alice**
Good morning. Breakfast is ready.
**[00:47] Duke**
Alice, why don't you take a break?
**[00:50] Duke**
I'll do the cleaning for once.
**[00:51] Alice**
But...
**[00:53] Duke**
Here, just leave it to me.
**[00:59] Duke**
Where did you pull that out from?
**[01:01] Duke**
No, I mean, go take a rest!
**[01:03] Alice**
There's nothing else for me to do.
**[01:05] Duke**
Then relax!
**[01:07] Duke**
I know. Don't you have any hobbies?
**[01:10] Alice**
You're my hobby.
**[01:11] Duke**
Then something you like?
**[01:14] Alice**
You're what I like.
**[01:16] Duke**
O-Oh... huh!
***SIGN*** Episode 15
The Duke, Alice, and the Spectral Bride
**[02:52] Ghost**
Listen, Alice. Listen!
**[02:55] Ghost**
The person you love is about
to come out of the next room.
**[03:00] Ghost**
Make sure not to run into them.
**[03:02] Duke**
Alice!
**[03:03] Duke**
I'm glad I didn't run into you.
**[03:05] Alice**
You were in the library this late?
**[03:08] Duke**
Yeah.
**[03:09] Duke**
I was really curious
about this business card.
**[03:11] Duke**
So I was trying to look into what an
octopus could have to do with witches...
**[03:15] Duke**
But I didn't get anywhere.
**[03:17] Alice**
Oh, I see.
**[03:19] Alice**
Will you take a shower?
**[03:21] Alice**
I haven't taken one myself yet,
so it would be perfect timing.
**[03:23] Duke**
Why do you think we'd take one together?!
**[03:25] Ghost**
Aw, look at the two of you having fun.
**[03:32] Duke**
You, know, Alice, I've been wondering...
**[03:36] Duke**
Do you see them?
**[03:38] Alice**
See what?
**[03:39] Duke**
Ghosts!
**[03:41] Duke**
I felt like maybe you did when that
thing with McFarlane happened.
**[03:45] Alice**
I do not.
**[03:46] Duke**
You're lying!
**[03:48] Duke**
You're just pretending not to
see them so I won't get scared!
**[03:52] Alice**
You're all I see.
**[03:54] Duke**
Really?!
**[03:57] Duke**
I mean, that makes me happy!
But that wasn't what I meant!
**[04:00] Duke**
I saw you talking by yourself last night...
**[04:07] (Flashback) Alice**
Do you know anyone who looks like me, then?
**[04:11] (Flashback) Alice**
Her name would be Sharon.
**[04:13] (Flashback) Alice**
"Morning! The sun's shining so
bright today! Mommy feels great!"
**[04:18] (Flashback) Alice**
That's how she talks.
**[04:21] Duke**
*So cute...*
**[04:24] Duke**
I'll be fine. So I want
you to tell me the truth.
**[04:27] Duke**
Alice, you see ghosts, don't you?
**[04:32] Alice**
I do not.
**[04:34] Duke**
You're so stubborn!
**[04:35] Alice**
I don't see them,
**[04:38] Alice**
but it's possible that there's been
**[04:40] Alice**
a ghost in the mansion dressed like
a spectral bride since yesterday.
**[04:43] Duke**
You do see them, then!
**[04:44] Duke**
Is she s-saying anything?
**[04:47] Duke**
Like that she wants revenge
or has unfinished business?
**[04:50] Ghost**
I married the man I loved,
**[04:54] Ghost**
but on the day of the wedding,
this was the ring I got.
**[04:58] Ghost**
I got so mad I lost control of myself,
**[05:00] Ghost**
and then I fell down the stairs and died!
**[05:03] Alice**
That's a sad way to go.
**[05:06] Duke**
You're talking with it right now, aren't you?
**[05:08] Alice**
I don't see them,
but they're usually like that.
**[05:10] Duke**
You're acting really silly
today, and it's very cute!
**[05:14] Duke**
How about one of these?
**[05:17] Duke**
I don't know who they belong to, but they've
been in the mansion for a long time.
**[05:22] Duke**
There are a lot of different sizes.
**[05:24] Duke**
She can take the one she likes.
**[05:26] Duke**
Maybe if she finds the perfect ring,
she'll be able to go to heaven.
**[05:30] Ghost**
Can I really take one?
**[05:32] Alice**
Yes, if you like it.
**[05:34] Duke**
You're just talking to a ghost now.
**[05:36] Alice**
But I don't see them.
**[05:38] Duke**
He should've measured her ring size.
**[05:44] Alice**
Perhaps it was a surprise?
**[05:46] Duke**
Sure, but you can wrap a string around her
finger while she's asleep or something.
**[05:55] Ghost**
*What's wrong with these two?*
**[06:00] Ghost**
I'm getting jealous.
**[06:02] Ghost**
Lend me your body for a little.
**[06:08] Duke**
Alice?
**[06:11] Alice**
Your Grace, I can't control myself anymore.
**[06:18] Alice**
Maybe there's a spot where
it's safe to touch me.
**[06:21] Alice**
Why don't we find out together?
**[06:26] Duke**
N-No!
**[06:28] Duke**
I don't think I can control myself!
**[06:32] Duke**
I'm sorry, Alice!
**[06:34] Ghost**
Why did he run away?
**[06:36] Ghost**
My darling's the only one for me.
**[06:40] Ghost**
I'll wait until he's dead.
**[06:43] Alice**
You'll wait all that time?
**[06:45] Ghost**
Yes. I really do love him.
**[06:48] Ghost**
And looking back, I think
I can forgive him for the ring.
**[06:52] Ghost**
And I need to apologize for dying
so suddenly and leaving him alone.
**[06:57] Ghost**
I guess I made too big a deal out of it.
**[07:00] Ghost**
I'm satisfied now. I'll just move on.
**[07:04] Ghost**
You can have this.
**[07:09] Alice**
Um, please find happiness.
**[07:12] Ghost**
You too.
**[07:21] Alice**
Will they come today, you think?
**[07:24] Alice**
The owner of this business card was
supposed to come in a few days.
**[07:29] Duke**
That's what Daleth said.
**[07:31] Duke**
But I need to drive them away when they come!
**[07:34] Alice**
You're sure?
**[07:37] Duke**
Well, I'd love to break the curse.
**[07:40] Duke**
But if I end up owing Daleth a favor
over it, I'll have to do what she wants.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Daleth**
I want you to ask Zain to
use his time magic again.
**[07:52] Duke**
I promised Zain, so I can't
tell you the details.
**[07:57] Duke**
But I don't want to cause problems for him.
**[07:59] Duke**
Don't worry.
**[08:00] Duke**
No matter what kind of witch
it is, I'll protect you.
**[08:04] Alice**
How brave.
**[08:06] Alice**
Let me thank you by...
**[08:07] Duke**
Keep your clothes on!
**[08:08] Alice**
Are you psychic?
**[08:13] Alice**
It seems someone's here.
**[08:20] Duke**
I-It's time...
**[08:22] Amelia**
Daleth told me to come here.
**[08:24] Amelia**
Is this the place?
**[08:26] Duke**
U-Um, it's, uh...
**[08:28] Alice**
Is this your business card?
**[08:30] Amelia**
Oh, great! I finally made it...
**[08:39] Amelia**
W-Water...
**[08:41] Amelia**
Put me in salt water, fast!
**[08:45] Amelia**
Thanks so much!
**[08:49] Amelia**
It's been so long since I've been on land,
and I kind of forgot how it works.
**[08:53] Amelia**
I almost dried up!
**[08:56] Duke**
I wasn't really thinking
when I saved you but...
**[08:58] Duke**
You're the witch that's good
with breaking curses, right?
**[09:01] Amelia**
Yes. I'm Amelia.
**[09:03] Amelia**
I'm not so much a witch... as I
am an octopus born with magic.
**[09:11] Amelia**
Daleth told me about you.
**[09:13] Amelia**
A curse that kills just by touching, right?
**[09:18] Amelia**
I've broken a similar curse in the past.
**[09:21] Amelia**
I won't know until I try, but...
**[09:25] Amelia**
I might be able to break it for you!
**[09:31] Duke**
Um... I hate to say this after
you came all the way here.
**[09:35] Duke**
But I'm thinking of saying no.
**[09:38] Duke**
I don't want to owe Daleth anything.
**[09:41] Duke**
It'll cause problems for a friend of mine.
**[09:42] Amelia**
Humans are always so loyal.
**[09:46] Amelia**
You're such fun creatures!
**[09:48] Alice**
You've dealt with humans in the past?
**[09:51] Amelia**
Yes. I even married an
unusual man a decade ago.
**[09:56] Duke**
Married?!
**[09:57] Amelia**
Well, it was only a formality.
**[10:00] Amelia**
I was so bored back then
**[10:03] Amelia**
that I would take the form of a huge octopus
**[10:05] Amelia**
and attack the cargo that ships were carrying.
**[10:07] Amelia**
But one day I attacked an armed pirate ship.
**[10:13] (Flashback) Amelia**
I guess this is it for me.
**[10:18] (Flashback) Amelia**
What is this?
**[10:20] (Flashback) Amelia**
Let me out!
**[10:24] (Flashback) Ringmaster**
Stay put.
**[10:25] (Flashback) Ringmaster**
I won't hurt you.
**[10:28] Amelia**
He'd happened to be aboard that day.
**[10:31] Amelia**
He hid me among the other
cargo so I could escape.
**[10:35] (Flashback) Amelia**
Th-Thank you for helping me.
**[10:38] (Flashback) Ringmaster**
Don't worry about it.
**[10:40] (Flashback) Ringmaster**
What could be more entertaining
than talking with an octopus witch?
**[10:43] (Flashback) Amelia**
Is that how it works?
**[10:50] (Flashback) Ringmaster**
You got a boyfriend?
**[10:52] Amelia**
It all happened so fast after that...
**[10:56] Amelia**
We exchanged rings,
though they were cheap ones...
**[10:58] Amelia**
And he went back to the city, and I the sea.
**[11:02] Amelia**
I doubt he remembers, but for me,
it's a wonderful memory.
**[11:06] Amelia**
I've never seen him again,
but I still love him.
**[11:10] Alice**
That's so romantic!
**[11:12] Amelia**
Right?
**[11:13] Amelia**
I'm not like the pretty
mermaids in the fairy tales!
**[11:17] Amelia**
Who knows what about me he liked?!
**[11:19] Duke**
She d-disappeared?
**[11:20] Alice**
No, it's camouflage.
**[11:22] Alice**
She's changed the color of her
body to match her surroundings.
**[11:26] Duke**
So we can't see how embarrassed she is?
**[11:31] Amelia**
I know you're bothered by
what Daleth said, but...
**[11:35] Amelia**
I can't promise I'll be
able to break the curse.
**[11:38] Amelia**
Why not let me try before
deciding what you'll do?
**[11:42] Duke**
But...
**[11:44] Amelia**
Are you that scared of Daleth?
**[11:46] Duke**
I am!
**[11:47] Duke**
She's got that scary mask and I can
never tell what she's thinking!
**[11:52] Amelia**
Well, she can be difficult.
**[11:55] Amelia**
She doesn't know how to express herself,
**[11:57] Amelia**
and makes her own life harder.
**[11:58] Amelia**
But she's not a bad girl.
Don't hate her too much.
**[12:04] Duke**
But she rules the Witches' World!
**[12:06] Amelia**
That's a witch thing.
I'm an octopus. I don't care.
**[12:11] Amelia**
She only ended up ruling because everybody
wanted her to, and she couldn't say no.
**[12:17] Amelia**
First, let's see if we can break your curse.
**[12:20] Amelia**
Or else what did I risk
my life coming here for?
**[12:24] Duke**
True...
**[12:26] Alice**
How likely do you think it is
you'll be able to break it?
**[12:29] Amelia**
It depends on how powerful the
witch who laid the curse is.
**[12:32] Amelia**
But from past experience,
I'd say there's an 80% chance.
**[12:37] Duke**
80%...
**[12:43] Duke**
If I break the curse, will I be able
to put a ring on Alice's finger?
**[12:51] Amelia**
Of course.
**[12:53] Duke**
Then please, help me.
**[12:55] Duke**
If it works, I'll make it
up to Daleth some other way.
**[12:59] Amelia**
Great!
**[13:03] Amelia**
Let's get you turned back into
a normal human right away, then.
**[13:15] Amelia**
Here I go, poor cursed boy.
**[13:20] Amelia**
Don't dodge!
**[13:21] Duke**
Sorry! Years of habit!
**[13:23] Duke**
But it's dangerous to touch me!
**[13:26] Duke**
Witches and octopuses are
both living creatures.
**[13:29] Amelia**
I'm a pro, okay?
**[13:31] Amelia**
A curse clings to the
sufferer's body like a film.
**[13:37] Amelia**
If you want to break the curse,
you just rip it off.
**[13:41] Amelia**
I don't need to touch you.
**[13:43] Amelia**
Want to see my power for yourself?
**[13:51] Duke**
What? Fish?
**[13:54] Amelia**
The sea is the source of all life.
**[13:57] Amelia**
I can call upon the great
power that dwells in the sea.
**[14:02] Alice**
I can breathe and talk.
**[14:04] Duke**
Wow! Is this your magic?
**[14:06] Duke**
Wow, you're a genius!
**[14:10] Duke**
Please don't disappear, though!
**[14:11] Duke**
It makes it hard to compliment you!
**[14:15] Alice**
Is it alive?
**[14:19] Alice**
The fish are all so cute!
**[14:24] Duke**
They're so cute! And so are you!
**[14:26] Amelia**
I'm impressed that you can cry underwater...
**[14:30] Alice**
Look, Your Grace.
**[14:32] Alice**
The hallway, too!
**[14:33] Duke**
And there's a whale outside, too!
**[14:36] Amelia**
My magic covers this whole mansion.
**[14:39] Amelia**
Why not take a walk?
**[14:41] Duke**
Yay!
**[14:44] Amelia**
He looks like a good kid.
**[14:46] Amelia**
Why was he cursed, I wonder?
**[14:52] Alice**
I'm looking down at the
mansion... It's so strange.
**[14:56] Duke**
Look, Alice! There's a
dolphin right next to me!
**[14:58] Alice**
How cute!
**[15:01] Alice**
This is fun.
**[15:03] Alice**
I've never seen fish swimming so close to me.
**[15:06] Duke**
Me either.
**[15:12] Alice**
It's like I'm on an undersea date with you.
**[15:16] Duke**
A-Aw, a date?
**[15:23] Song**
*Let's walk through the sea together*
**[15:28] Song**
*Let's swim under the sky*
**[15:33] Song**
*A fantastic world beneath shining waves*
**[15:37] Song**
*The fish are dreaming shining dreams*
**[15:42] Song**
*The dolphins, the jellyfish, the sunfish*
**[15:46] Song**
*The angelfish are cute too, but*
**[15:51] Song**
*You're my mermaid after all*
**[15:57] Song**
*I'm not just a maid, I'm your* mer*maid!*
**[16:05] Alice**
Let's see what's down below, too.
**[16:07] Duke**
Oh, okay.
**[16:10] Duke**
A tiger shark!
**[16:12] Duke**
The pattern is so cute!
**[16:14] Duke**
And that's an elephant shark next to you!
**[16:16] Duke**
See how its nose is like an elephant's trunk?
**[16:18] Alice**
Yes.
**[16:19] Duke**
It's so strange, seeing all these fish from
different parts of the world in one place.
**[16:23] Alice**
You know a lot about fish, Your Grace.
**[16:25] Duke**
Ever since I came here, I've always
been alone when it was time to play.
**[16:30] Duke**
There wasn't much to do but draw
pictures out of the encyclopedias.
**[16:38] Duke**
The deep sea fish are all so unique, too.
**[16:40] Alice**
Yes, it's kind of cute.
**[16:42] Amelia**
Did you have fun?
**[16:44] Duke**
Yes, a lot!
**[16:45] Alice**
It was a wonderful time.
**[16:47] Amelia**
I'm glad.
**[16:48] Amelia**
Now, may I get to work?
**[16:51] Duke**
Yeah. Sorry for getting too excited.
**[16:53] Amelia**
Don't move. Put your hands out.
**[16:55] Duke**
Okay.
**[17:04] Alice**
Amelia?
**[17:05] Amelia**
I'm fine.
**[17:07] Amelia**
But what happened in your past?
**[17:11] Amelia**
I can see why Daleth came to me.
**[17:16] Amelia**
I only know of one witch in all of history
who could lay such an evil curse!
**[17:27] Daleth**
Will Amelia be able to break that curse?
**[17:30] Daleth**
Well, I don't expect much.
**[17:34] Hugo**
* Zain, don't make a kid*
* carry such heavy stuff!*
**[17:38] Zain**
*I'm carrying more than you!*
**[17:40] Zain**
*Don't act like a kid only when it helps you!*
**[17:44] Daleth**
Gemini...
**[17:46] Daleth**
The constellation of twins.
**[17:49] Duke**
Wh-What do you mean?
**[17:51] Duke**
You know the witch who cursed me?
**[17:53] Amelia**
Just watch.
**[17:56] Duke**
This is...
**[17:58] Amelia**
The curse placed on you.
**[18:00] Amelia**
Even if I try to rip it off,
**[18:03] Amelia**
it clings right to you.
**[18:05] Alice**
Amelia, you don't look well...
**[18:08] Amelia**
Its evil power is affecting me.
**[18:11] Amelia**
Don't bother me, Flapjack.
**[18:15] Amelia**
I heard she was dead, but I guess
I still can't break the curse.
**[18:19] Duke**
Who is this witch?
**[18:21] Amelia**
Sade, Daleth's twin sister.
**[18:27] Duke**
Sister?
**[18:29] Amelia**
You can't think of any reason she did this?
**[18:31] Duke**
No!
**[18:31] Duke**
This is the first time I've
heard Daleth had a twin.
**[18:36] Alice**
* Were the two women in habits that the*
* logbook spoke of Daleth and Sade?*
**[18:42] Alice**
*But what were they doing there that day?*
**[18:45] Duke**
* So the reason Daleth wants time*
* magic has something to do Sade?*
**[18:51] Duke**
*Does she want to bring her back to life?*
**[18:54] Alice/Duke**
*I don't know...*
**[18:56] Amelia**
Did I say a little too much?
**[18:58] Amelia**
Daleth will get mad at me.
**[19:01] Amelia**
That curse is more powerful than I am.
**[19:04] Amelia**
I'm sorry, but I don't think I can break it.
**[19:07] Duke**
How did such a powerful witch die?
**[19:10] Amelia**
I don't know...
**[19:14] Alice**
The fish...
**[19:16] Duke**
What's happening?
**[19:18] Duke**
Amelia?
**[19:19] Amelia**
I'm sorry, I can't keep this up.
**[19:21] Amelia**
Carry me to the sea!
**[19:23] Amelia**
Please!
**[19:24] Duke**
H-How...?
**[19:29] Amelia**
I'm sorry I couldn't help.
**[19:32] Duke**
It's okay. I'm sorry we couldn't
do more to welcome you.
**[19:36] Duke**
I hope you can see your
husband again someday.
**[19:39] Amelia**
Oh, thanks.
**[19:43] Amelia**
Be well, you two.
**[19:45] Amelia**
I'm looking forward to seeing you again.
**[19:48] Duke**
Oh, yeah.
**[19:49] Duke**
I'm not sure where to look
when I'm speaking, though.
**[19:56] Duke**
Hey, Alice.
**[19:57] Duke**
Let's go see Cuff and Zain soon.
**[20:01] Duke**
I want to talk to them about Daleth and Sade.
**[20:03] Alice**
It's rare for you to want to go into town.
**[20:08] Alice**
If you want tickets to the circus,
**[20:10] Alice**
Cuff gave me some.
**[20:12] Duke**
You're putting stuff there again?
**[20:16] Duke**
When the curse is broken...
**[20:18] Duke**
I want to go to all kinds of places with you.
**[20:21] Duke**
I only know what lies beyond
that horizon from books.
**[20:26] Duke**
I want to see things with my own eyes.
**[20:30] Duke**
Where do you want to go, Alice?
**[20:32] Alice**
Hmm... the place I was born,
where I lived with my mother.
**[20:38] Alice**
I've only got scattered memories of it left,
**[20:41] Alice**
but there was a big garden,
**[20:43] Alice**
and my mother taught me
all about flowers there.
**[20:48] Alice**
I'd love for you to see
it someday, Your Grace.
**[20:53] Duke**
Let's go, then!
**[20:54] Duke**
Let's promise!
**[20:55] Duke**
We can take Rob and Viola, and Cuff and Zain.
**[20:59] Duke**
I'd love it if Mom, Dad,
and Walter came, too.
**[21:03] Duke**
Right?
**[21:03] Duke**
When the curse is broken, we'll all
go to where you grew up together.
**[21:07] Duke**
It's a promise!
**[21:09] Alice**
*Together...*
**[21:12] Alice**
* How happy would I be if I could still*
* be with you when the curse is broken?*
**[21:20] Alice**
Yes.
**[21:22] Alice**
Let's promise.
**[21:24] Duke**
Yeah.
**[21:28] Duke**
The sea's so cold at night.
**[21:30] Alice**
Want to get naked and warm each other up?
**[21:33] Duke**
I'd rather not...
**[23:07] Hugo**
Hey, you're married, right boss?
**[23:10] Hugo**
What's she like?
**[23:12] Ringmaster**
She's beautiful.
**[23:14] Ringmaster**
She's easily embarrassed and
likes to hide herself...
**[23:16] Ringmaster**
And she's got hands this big, and eight legs!
**[23:19] Zain**
You made the last half of that up!
**[23:21] Ringmaster**
We've lived apart for 10 years, though.
**[23:25] Ringmaster**
I miss her...
**[23:27] Hugo**
I'm gonna go clean the toilets.
**[23:29] Zain**
Don't freak the kid out like that?
**[23:31] Ringmaster**
Huh?

**[00:01] Narrator**
* Can you imagine a life where you*
* can't even touch the person you love?*
**[00:09] Narrator**
* The curse the witch laid upon him caused*
* him to take the lives of any he touched.*
**[00:14] Narrator**
* His own mother distanced herself from*
* him, his friends called him a monster...*
**[00:19] Narrator**
* Even people he'd never met spoke of him as*
* "death incarnate that dwells in the forest."*
**[00:24] Narrator**
* And yet, he doesn't feel*
* the least bit lonely.*
**[00:39] Cuff**
Viola says she always falls in love
with older guys, so I asked her...
**[00:45] Cuff**
Wouldn't it be sad to have the person
you love pass away before you?
**[00:50] Cuff**
What she says is...
**[00:52] Cuff**
She'd rather be sad than make
the person she loves sad.
**[01:01] Cuff**
What do you think, Zain?
**[01:03] Zain**
I...
**[01:05] Cuff**
It's too complicated for me to understand.
**[01:08] Zain**
Dummy.
**[01:12] Cuff**
I...
**[01:14] Cuff**
I don't want to be alone.
**[01:18] Cuff**
You'll never leave me, right Zain?
**[01:30] Zain**
Cuff, for your sake...
**[01:33] Zain**
I would.

The Duke, Alice, and Circus 101
**[03:14] Alice**
How do you feel in that mask, Your Grace?
**[03:17] Duke**
I like it! It's lighter than the last one!
**[03:21] Duke**
During the festival it
was so heavy I fell over.
**[03:25] Alice**
Even at this size, it's okay
for you to touch people.
**[03:30] Duke**
Yeah, but you're so cute!
**[03:39] Duke**
We need to find Circus Gemini fast, though!
**[03:43] Duke**
Oh, let's ask him!
**[03:45] Hugo**
Circus Gemini?
**[03:47] Hugo**
It's off today.
**[03:49] Duke**
That's fine.
**[03:51] Duke**
We're here to see Cuff and Zain.
**[03:52] Hugo**
What?
**[03:53] Hugo**
Are you going after Cuff, too?!
**[03:58] Duke**
You shouldn't get too close to me!
**[04:02] Hugo**
You can't threaten me!
**[04:05] Duke**
No! I'm cursed!
**[04:07] Hugo**
Cursed? Something's wrong with you?
**[04:11] Duke**
Yeah.
**[04:13] Alice**
Do you know Cuff?
**[04:15] Hugo**
Yeah, I'm part of Circus Gemini myself!
**[04:18] Hugo**
My name's Hugo!
**[04:25] Hugo**
That mask of yours... you're not
Zain's brother or something, right?
**[04:30] Duke**
I'm not, no.
**[04:33] Hugo**
Cuff's probably there right now.
**[04:52] Alice**
She's beautiful.
**[04:53] Duke**
Right?
**[04:54] Cuff**
Oh, you came?
**[04:57] Cuff**
Welcome to Circus Gemini!
**[05:00] Cuff**
Oops! I let go!
**[05:02] Cuff**
I guess I almost died!
**[05:07] Alice**
So Zain isn't here.
**[05:10] Cuff**
Yeah, he went out drinking last
night and hasn't come back.
**[05:13] Cuff**
When he gets back, I'm giving
him a piece of my mind.
**[05:15] Hugo**
You were talking about a curse.
**[05:18] Hugo**
What did you mean?
**[05:20] Duke**
Um...
**[05:22] Duke**
Watch closely.
**[05:26] Hugo**
It's really a curse and not
a magic trick, right?
**[05:29] Duke**
Yeah. Scary, right?
**[05:31] Hugo**
Why? I'm not scared.
**[05:34] Duke**
Really? That's great!
**[05:37] Ringmaster**
You're wonderful.
**[05:40] Ringmaster**
Having something that makes you
different makes you unique.
**[05:43] Ringmaster**
You should join Circus Gemini.
**[05:47] Ringmaster**
Can you really kill people?
**[05:50] Ringmaster**
Can you shake my hand?
**[05:54] Duke**
Cuff, who is this guy?
**[05:56] Cuff**
The Ringmaster.
**[06:02] Ringmaster**
If you can't stay here forever,
then at least 3 days...
**[06:06] Duke**
No, but...
**[06:08] Ringmaster**
We're going to be having a special
performance in the big plaza two days from now.
**[06:12] Ringmaster**
During daytime, so kids can enjoy it.
**[06:16] Duke**
The plaza? I'm surprised
they let you do that.
**[06:19] Ringmaster**
I'm on my way to get permission now.
**[06:20] Duke**
You didn't get permission yet?
**[06:22] Cuff**
That's how it always goes.
That's the Ringmaster for you.
**[06:25] Ringmaster**
I'm going, then.
**[06:28] Ringmaster**
But I'm sure you'll be popular.
**[06:33] Duke**
*Popular... because of my curse?*
**[06:36] Duke**
*Is he an edgelord?!*
**[06:38] Cuff**
Warm-ups are critical at the circus.
**[06:42] Duke**
Alice? Are you going to do it?
**[06:45] Alice**
Yes. They were nice enough to
invite me, so I'd like to try.
**[06:55] Alice**
Will you join the circus?
**[06:59] Duke**
I don't think I can do it!
**[07:02] Alice**
It's your chance to learn to
be around others, Your Grace.
**[07:07] Alice**
Why don't you try it?
**[07:08] Duke**
It's not fair of you to use that sexy voice!
**[07:12] Hugo**
Here, stop whining and try it!
**[07:15] Hugo**
Here, do some juggling!
**[07:16] Duke**
I'll try, but I don't think I'll be any good...
**[07:26] Hugo**
That's true art.
**[07:29] Hugo**
I'll teach you everything you
need to know, just you wait!
**[07:32] Duke**
I don't think I can do it...
**[07:37] Cuff**
You start doing the swing from this height.
**[07:41] Cuff**
We're not far off the ground,
but still, be careful.
**[07:44] Alice**
Thank you.
**[07:46] Duke**
*Glance...*
**[07:47] Duke**
*Glance...*
**[07:49] Duke**
*I bet they smell good.*
**[07:56] Hugo**
Hey! Focus!
**[07:59] Duke**
When did you come here, Hugo?
**[08:05] Hugo**
Last month.
**[08:07] Duke**
Last month?
**[08:08] Hugo**
Cuff and the Ringmaster took me
in when I was just a pickpocket.
**[08:13] Hugo**
The rest of the troupe are like me.
**[08:16] Hugo**
Guys who have too much strength.
**[08:18] Hugo**
Former con men, thugs,
**[08:20] Hugo**
people with multiple personalities...
**[08:22] Hugo**
Everyone here has been rejected by society.
**[08:24] Hugo**
But the Ringmaster says that it's wonderful
to have something that makes you unique.
**[08:32] Hugo**
We changed by coming here to the circus.
**[08:37] Hugo**
We've found something that
gives our lives meaning!
**[08:39] Hugo**
For all the trouble we've caused people,
we want to make them have fun!
**[08:43] Hugo**
Make them smile!
**[08:50] Hugo**
Now let's do it again!
**[08:52] Hugo**
I'll help you until you figure it out.
**[08:55] Duke**
Th-Thanks...
**[08:58] Duke**
*I came here to talk about Daleth.*
**[09:01] Duke**
* But Zain's not here. I guess*
* I can do this for a while.*
**[09:09] Hugo**
Focus!
**[09:26] Zain**
It's not that I want to
leave her behind, but...
**[09:45] Duke**
Okay, one more time!
**[09:47] Alice**
You're still practicing?
**[09:50] Duke**
Yeah.
**[09:51] Duke**
I'm a part of the circus now,
even if only temporarily.
**[09:55] Duke**
They're so passionate about
it that it wouldn't be right
**[09:57] Duke**
for me to not take it seriously.
**[10:00] Duke**
Because I'm like them. I can't
lead a normal life either.
**[10:06] Duke**
Or am I being naïve?
**[10:08] Alice**
It's one of your best aspects.
**[10:10] Duke**
Really?
**[10:11] Alice**
Yes.
**[10:13] Duke**
Look! I got a little better at juggling!
**[10:16] Duke**
Watch this!
**[10:17] Alice**
I'll take a seat and watch.
**[10:20] Alice**
I can be your first audience member.
**[10:24] Duke**
Don't laugh if I mess up, okay?
**[10:28] Duke**
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Circus Gemini!
**[10:58] Duke**
Like that!
**[11:03] Alice**
Encore, please.
**[11:06] Duke**
Of that?
**[11:09] Cuff**
I don't mind if you drink,
but this is too much!
**[11:12] Zain**
Sometimes, a man wants a drink!
**[11:16] Zain**
Huh?
**[11:17] Zain**
Maybe I did drink too much.
**[11:19] Zain**
I'm hallucinating Alice...
**[11:27] Zain**
Can I touch you and see if you're real?
**[11:31] Cuff**
A good punch... no, maybe two...
will wake you up.
**[11:38] Zain**
You hit me three times!
**[11:40] Cuff**
This is the real Alice!
**[11:43] Cuff**
Oh, Lord Thighs is here, too.
**[11:46] Duke**
Don't call me that!
**[12:11] Keto**
Daleth!
**[12:13] Keto**
I came to hang out!
**[12:15] Daleth**
Keto, did you see my face?
**[12:19] Keto**
I did not!
**[12:20] Daleth**
Good.
**[12:22] Keto**
But I did get a look at what's inside that.
**[12:27] Daleth**
Oh, fine.
**[12:29] Daleth**
Can you keep it a secret?
**[12:31] Keto**
I can!
**[12:39] Keto**
A human woman? Is she alive?
**[12:42] Daleth**
She's not breathing, but her heart does beat.
**[12:45] Daleth**
She's been asleep a long, long time.
**[12:48] Daleth**
I liked her quite a bit,
and I want to help her.
**[12:53] Daleth**
Ideally, I'd like to return her
to the life she had before,
**[12:56] Daleth**
like nothing ever happened.
**[12:58] Keto**
She looks like the girl
who came to the Sabbath.
**[13:01] Daleth**
She's her mother.
**[13:03] Daleth**
When I saw Alice before, I thought
she might be Sharon, actually.
**[13:09] Daleth**
Fate and destiny... are real things.
**[13:17] Daleth**
By the way, Keto. Do you have any
plans for the immediate future?
**[13:20] Keto**
Nah.
**[13:22] Keto**
Maybe a date with my girlfriend Teto?
**[13:27] Daleth**
Everybody else is so lucky to have a partner.
I can't stop clucking my tongue.
**[13:34] Daleth**
I'm actually going to the human world soon.
Want to come with me? You can bring Teto.
**[13:40] Keto**
Sure.
**[13:42] Daleth**
Trendy girls sure have a lot of energy.
**[13:44] Keto**
Watching the fun again?
**[13:46] Daleth**
No. I'm going for a reason this time.
**[13:51] Daleth**
I'm bringing Zain back.
**[13:54] Keto**
He's the traitor who brought
a human to the Sabbath, right?
**[13:57] Daleth**
That doesn't matter at all.
**[14:00] Daleth**
Be more respectful.
**[14:02] Daleth**
He will be a powerful witch someday.
**[14:06] Daleth**
And with Zain's magic, it's possible.
**[14:14] Daleth**
He's a ladies' man. If I bring you and Teto,
he'll be easier to talk to.
**[14:20] Keto**
I'm not sexy at all, but... got it!
**[14:24] Keto**
As your subordinate, I shall accompany you!
**[14:27] Daleth**
Subordinate?
**[14:28] Keto**
Maybe more like one of the Daleth Girls?
**[14:30] Daleth**
That's a stupid name.
**[14:32] Keto**
I'll go get Teto!
**[14:34] Keto**
Gotta get ready fast!
**[14:38] Daleth**
She's always so loud.
**[14:46] (Flashback) Sade**
Daleth, your face looks just like mine,
so it's hard to tell us apart.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Sade**
Would it be all right if I changed that?
**[15:11] Hugo**
Wow!
**[15:13] Hugo**
You've totally mastered juggling!
**[15:17] Hugo**
And with four at a time!
**[15:19] Hugo**
You really worked hard!
**[15:21] Hugo**
I thought you were a huge wimp,
but I guess you're not!
**[15:27] Ringmaster**
I'm impressed, yeah.
**[15:29] Ringmaster**
But why didn't you do something
that uses your curse?
**[15:37] Zain**
They're not coming to take our order.
**[15:42] Cuff**
I can't wait anymore!
**[15:43] Cuff**
I'll go get them.
**[15:48] Zain**
So, what did you want to talk about?
**[15:50] Duke**
It's, um... about your magic.
**[15:55] Zain**
It's fine. You can tell Alice.
**[15:59] Duke**
Daleth is after your time magic.
**[16:04] Zain**
I see. So Daleth already found out, huh?
**[16:13] Zain**
Sheesh.
**[16:14] Zain**
This power's such a pain.
**[16:18] Zain**
I guess it's time to go, then.
**[16:21] Duke**
Zain?
**[16:23] Zain**
I'm leaving the city.
**[16:26] Zain**
If I stay here, she might come
after Cuff or Circus Gemini.
**[16:30] Duke**
But...
**[16:31] Duke**
Are you really okay with that?
**[16:35] Zain**
It's something I've been thinking about.
**[16:38] Zain**
Cuff's not like me. She could
pass as a human here easily.
**[16:43] Duke**
But...
**[16:45] Duke**
You can't leave Cuff!
**[16:51] Cuff**
I'm back.
**[16:53] Cuff**
What are you all so serious about?
**[16:55] Zain**
We were sharing dirty jokes!
**[16:56] Cuff**
You're lucky my hands are full!
**[16:59] Zain**
Why are you bringing the
meat pies? Did you get a job here?
**[17:03] Cuff**
I'm helping, that's all.
**[17:04] Cuff**
Aren't I great?
**[17:06] Zain**
Y-Yeah.
**[17:08] Cuff**
Now let's eat!
**[17:14] (Flashback) Cuff**
You'll never leave me, right Zain?
**[17:24] Zain**
*Cuff,*
**[17:27] Zain**
*for your sake...*
**[17:31] Zain**
*I would.*
**[17:35] Ringmaster**
And now, our circus's new star!
**[17:45] Song**
* Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome*
* to the Circus Night!*
**[17:51] Song**
*The show's about to begin, so enjoy!*
**[17:55] Song**
*Circus Night!*
**[17:56] Song**
*The swing swings! The beasts roar!*
**[18:01] Song**
* If we pull it off, give us a cheer*
* that they can hear above ground*
**[18:11] Song**
*Circus night!*
**[18:13] Song**
* When the strongman breathes fire,*
* it'll burn your boredom and you'll feel great*
**[18:23] Song**
*Unique specs, Mysterious tricks*
**[18:29] Song**
*Make you smile!*
**[18:31] Song**
*Gemini on stage!*
**[18:38] Zain**
Sheesh... I gave you my spot. At least try
to stand on stage like you belong there.
**[18:44] Zain**
Ooh! Next is Alice! She's so cute!
**[18:48] Teto**
Hey, Mister!
**[18:49] Keto**
You're with Circus Gemini, right?
**[18:52] Zain**
*They're hitting on me!*
**[18:55] Zain**
*I love party girls!*
**[18:58] Zain**
My name's Zain!
**[19:00] Zain**
Everybody calls me that, and you can, too!
**[19:02] Keto**
It's been a long time.
**[19:04] Zain**
Have we met?
**[19:06] Teto**
Teto...
**[19:07] Keto**
And Keto...
**[19:09] Daleth**
And Daleth, too!
**[19:13] Zain**
Sorry, can you just leave?
**[19:16] Zain**
Or let me play with your boobs?
**[19:18] Daleth**
Die.
**[19:19] Zain**
I didn't expect you to come
all the way to Circus Gemini.
**[19:24] Teto**
Shake, shake, shake, shake...
**[19:26] Daleth**
Zain, come back to the Witches' World with us.
**[19:30] Daleth**
I need your time magic.
**[19:34] Zain**
*Crap...*
**[19:37] Zain**
*I'm falling to the dark side!*
**[19:40] Keto**
Daleth, is he really that amazing of a witch?
**[19:44] Daleth**
Yes.
**[19:44] Daleth**
That's why I brought enough firepower
to overcome his defenses.
**[19:49] Keto**
My plant power.
**[19:52] Teto**
My poison.
**[19:55] Zain**
So what, you're going to hurt me?
**[20:00] Daleth**
Not if you come with us.
**[20:03] Daleth**
Of course, I won't have
to threaten Cuff either.
**[20:08] Daleth**
You're going to be a powerful mage one day.
**[20:16] Daleth**
If you want to stop the terror,
answer "yes" or "no."
**[20:27] Daleth**
Why did they fall apart?
**[20:31] Zain**
I can use illusion magic, too.
**[20:34] Daleth**
You knew my magic and used the same thing?
**[20:39] Daleth**
You are a genius.
**[20:42] Zain**
A genius, huh?
**[20:46] Zain**
My answer to your question is "yes."
**[20:51] Zain**
I've been thinking about doing it anyway.
**[20:54] Zain**
I'll leave Cuff and the
troupe behind in two days.
**[20:56] Daleth**
Two days?
**[20:57] Zain**
Yes. Give me a day to say goodbye.
**[21:02] Daleth**
I see.
**[21:03] Daleth**
That makes me happy, Zain.
**[21:04] Daleth**
We'll come back the day after tomorrow, then.
**[21:07] Zain**
*Bye-bye!*
**[21:23] Zain**
Cuff...
**[21:26] Zain**
I didn't get to see Alice!
**[23:03] Daleth**
I'm disappointed.
**[23:05] Daleth**
He lied to me and has
no intention of coming.
**[23:11] Daleth**
If you don't want to use
your magic that badly,
**[23:14] Daleth**
I'll just have to make
sure you have no choice.
**[23:20] Daleth**
I can't wait for tomorrow.

Cuff, Zain, and the Confession
**[02:06] Duke**
Wow!
**[02:07] Duke**
We're really performing in the middle of town!
**[02:11] Ringmaster**
I did get permission.
**[02:13] Alice**
Your Grace...
**[02:20] Alice**
What do you think of my outfit?
**[02:22] Duke**
You look fantastic!
**[02:24] Duke**
But the thought of lots of people
seeing you dressed like that...
**[02:31] Duke**
I don't know if I like it!
**[02:33] Alice**
Oh my.
**[02:34] Alice**
Your Grace.
**[02:35] Ringmaster**
Wow!
**[02:36] Cuff**
Where's Zain?
**[02:38] Hugo**
Cuff, come with me for a second.
**[02:41] Hugo**
Zain wants to talk to you.
**[02:53] (Flashback) Duke**
But...
**[02:54] (Flashback) Duke**
You can't leave Cuff!
**[02:59] Zain**
I need to talk to her before I go, at least.
**[03:07] Zain**
Hey, sorry to interrupt you when you're busy.
**[03:13] Hugo**
You're finally going to
tell her you love her?
**[03:17] Hugo**
I know I love her more than you do,
**[03:19] Hugo**
but you've known her for longer than me.
**[03:22] Hugo**
I hate to say it, but you ask her first.
**[03:25] Zain**
You're right, but you're wrong.
**[03:27] Hugo**
Make sure you make her happy!
**[03:30] Hugo**
I'll kick your ass if you cheat!
**[03:32] Zain**
Y-You're a good guy!
**[03:34] Hugo**
Okay, I'll leave the two
young people to talk.
**[03:37] Hugo**
Bye!
**[03:38] Cuff**
You're younger than either of us.
**[03:46] Hugo**
Farewell, my first love!
**[03:55] Cuff**
What did you want to talk about?
**[03:56] Cuff**
The show's about to start.
**[03:58] Zain**
Well, you know.
**[03:59] Zain**
I realized I'd never really
said thank you for everything.
**[04:04] Zain**
Thank you.
**[04:05] Cuff**
Where'd that come from?
**[04:09] Cuff**
You're going to go somewhere and
leave me behind, aren't you?
**[04:12] Zain**
I d-don't know what you're talking about!
**[04:14] Cuff**
I can tell!
**[04:23] Cuff**
Zain...
**[04:24] Cuff**
You're smart.
**[04:26] Cuff**
Following you has never led me astray.
**[04:29] Cuff**
But this time, things are different.
**[04:32] Cuff**
Why didn't you come talk to me?
**[04:41] Cuff**
Forget it!
**[04:42] Cuff**
Do whatever you want!
**[04:44] Cuff**
I'm not your friend anymore!
**[04:47] Zain**
Wait, Cuff!
**[04:48] Cuff**
No!
**[04:49] Zain**
Please, listen to me!
**[04:52] Zain**
Cuff!
**[04:56] Zain**
I love you.
**[05:01] Cuff**
Why are you saying this now?
**[05:05] Zain**
Fair point...
**[05:07] Zain**
But I won't take it back!
**[05:09] Zain**
I love you! You mean everything to me!
**[05:12] Zain**
That's why I've decided to leave.
**[05:14] Man**
Oh my!
**[05:16] Zain**
*She ran away.*
**[05:20] Crowd**
It's starting!
**[05:22] Crowd**
Let's hurry!
**[05:23] Duke**
It's finally starting.
**[05:25] Alice**
Are you ready to take off your mask?
**[05:28] Duke**
Oh, yes.
**[05:29] Duke**
U-Um, the circus will begin any minute now.
**[05:33] Duke**
Please stay and watch!
**[05:35] Daleth**
Of course. I will.
**[05:39] Daleth**
It will be an entertaining show, full of chaos.
**[05:42] Duke**
Uh, thanks?
**[05:46] Alice**
Cuff?
**[05:48] Cuff**
I'm back...
**[05:53] Duke**
Are you okay?
**[05:54] Cuff**
Why wouldn't I be?
**[05:58] Hugo**
*Zain finally told her, huh?*
**[06:02] Ringmaster**
Let's get started.
**[06:05] Ringmaster**
Ladies and gentlemen...
**[06:07] Ringmaster**
And today, the younger members
of the audience with us too! Welcome!
**[06:15] Ringmaster**
The Great Gemini Circus is about to begin!
**[06:39] Crowd**
Wow!
**[06:42] Duke**
I'm so jealous...
**[06:43] Duke**
They love it.
**[06:45] Duke**
And the crowd hated my performance yesterday.
**[06:49] Duke**
I hope I'll be okay.
**[06:51] Alice**
Your Grace, I'll teach you a
magic spell to calm your nerves.
**[06:55] Duke**
A magic spell?
**[06:57] Alice**
Draw a star on your palm,
and then give someone a hug.
**[07:01] Alice**
Go ahead.
**[07:02] Duke**
Don't teach me lies!
**[07:04] Duke**
But I do feel calmer now, I think.
**[07:07] Alice**
I'm glad!
**[07:09] Duke**
Did something happen, Cuff?
**[07:14] Duke**
*Did she find out Zain's leaving?*
**[07:18] Zain**
I'm back.
**[07:20] Zain**
Wow, I guess the show's already started.
**[07:34] Duke**
*Something must've happened.*
**[07:35] Zain**
Um...
**[07:43] Crowd**
Wow!
**[07:45] Duke**
What's going on?
**[07:50] Keto**
Magic's more amazing than any circus.
**[07:53] Keto**
Right, Teto?
**[07:55] Keto**
You wanted us to ruin the
circus show, right, Daleth?
**[08:00] Keto**
That's easy!
**[08:02] Zain**
Daleth and her friends are here.
**[08:09] Zain**
They want to ruin the circus
so I can't stay here.
**[08:18] Cuff/Zain**
Hugo!
**[08:19] Teto**
Try and save the kid before he gets digested.
**[08:24] Teto**
If you do, I'll stab you with
my poison fangs, though.
**[08:28] Crowd**
This show is amazing!
**[08:33] Teto**
Wouldn't it be smarter to just
come to the Witches' World?
**[08:37] Cuff**
I can't use my magic with
all these people here.
**[08:42] Zain**
I guess I'll have to use mine, then.
**[08:46] Zain**
My time magic...
**[08:57] Ringmaster**
Wow!
**[09:02] Crowd**
Wow!
**[09:03] Crowd**
It was like magic!
**[09:06] Duke**
Just try and bite me with your poison fangs!
**[09:09] Duke**
It'll cost your life!
**[09:14] Duke**
They loved it!
**[09:16] Alice**
You're wonderful, Your Grace.
**[09:18] Duke**
*No plant can beat me!*
**[09:22] Keto**
He messed up everything again!
**[09:24] Keto**
He keeps doing that!
**[09:28] Woman**
Ringmaster, who were those weirdos?
**[09:31] Ringmaster**
I don't know, but the crowd's
having the time of their lives!
**[09:34] Clown**
I guess it's okay, then.
**[09:38] Hugo**
You guys are nuts, too.
**[09:41] Zain**
I need to do something before
Daleth makes her next move.
**[09:45] Cuff**
Zain, we won't let them ruin the circus.
**[09:49] Cuff**
We'll handle this on our own.
**[09:51] Zain**
Cuff...
**[09:52] Cuff**
So you don't have to use the magic you hate!
**[09:58] Cuff**
I'll tell you my answer to your
confession after this is all over!
**[10:01] Alice**
Confession?
**[10:02] Zain**
Think about how loud you're being!
**[10:06] Cuff**
*Where are you hiding, Daleth?*
**[10:40] Alice**
What is it that you see?
**[10:43] Zain**
Cuff...
**[10:49] Alice**
I can't see anything at all.
**[10:55] Zain**
Cuff... Cuff...
**[11:00] Zain**
Please don't cry.
**[11:14] Duke**
No matter how many times you try it!
**[11:18] Keto**
I can keep going with plants
you can't touch directly!
**[11:20] Keto**
I won't let you interfere anymore!
**[11:24] Cuff**
It's fine! Just stay there!
**[11:26] Duke**
Okay!
**[11:33] Hugo**
Who's cleaning this up?
**[11:35] Ringmaster**
Us, I think.
**[11:44] Ringmaster**
Where are you, Daleth?
**[11:47] Zain**
My magic can't change fate.
**[11:52] Zain**
My magic can't protect Cuff!
**[11:57] Zain**
It's all my fault!
**[12:00] Daleth**
To think he fell for such
a simple illusion...
**[12:05] Daleth**
Zain becomes so weak
whenever Cuff is involved.
**[12:09] Daleth**
It's a good way to buy time, I guess.
**[12:12] Cuff**
Come on out, Daleth!
**[12:15] Daleth**
Why don't I make this even more fun?
**[12:29] Duke**
Cuff!
**[12:33] Cuff**
Daleth's magic?
**[12:38] Zain**
Cuff?
**[12:40] Zain**
Cuff!
**[12:41] Cuff**
Zain!
**[12:42] Cuff**
Don't use your magic!
**[12:44] Cuff**
I can deal with this myself!
**[12:47] Daleth**
Use your magic.
**[12:52] Cuff**
Save me...
**[12:54] Cuff**
Save me!
**[12:59] Zain**
That's right.
**[13:01] Zain**
I'm the only one who can protect her smile.
**[13:06] Zain**
I have to face myself...
**[13:10] Zain**
And my magic!
**[13:13] Zain**
Time...
**[13:15] Zain**
Stop!
**[13:44] Cuff**
Zain?
**[13:46] Cuff**
Did you use your magic to stop time?
**[13:49] Zain**
No matter what happens from now on,
I'll use my magic to protect you.
**[13:54] Cuff**
You will, huh?
**[13:58] Cuff**
P-Put me down.
**[14:00] Zain**
Why?
**[14:01] Zain**
Nobody's looking.
**[14:02] Zain**
Just a little more...
**[14:03] Cuff**
Put me down! I don't like this!
**[14:08] Cuff**
Okay, now they can't move.
**[14:11] Cuff**
Next is Daleth.
**[14:14] Zain**
My magic won't last that long.
**[14:16] Zain**
I don't think we have time to find Daleth.
**[14:19] Zain**
I'll break the spell, okay?
**[14:23] Cuff**
Wait.
**[14:26] Cuff**
First, can I say something?
**[14:42] Cuff**
This is my answer to your confession!
***SIGN*** Cuff kissed me We're a couple
**[14:46] Zain**
Yay! Hooray! Yay! Hooray!
**[14:48] Zain**
Yes!
**[14:52] Cuff**
Now, break the spell.
**[14:54] Zain**
No, one more time!
**[14:56] Zain**
Not once more, twice or three times more...
**[15:05] Cuff&Zain**
Everybody, the illusion was a success!
**[15:09] Crowd**
Wow!
**[15:10] Crowd**
When did they get over there?
**[15:12] Duke**
*Did Zain stop time?*
**[15:15] Duke**
*He's pretty badly hurt...*
**[15:17] Duke**
*I bet there was a terrible battle.*
**[15:19] Zain**
That's all for today's show!
**[15:23] Ringmaster**
Aw, we can keep it up, right?
**[15:26] Hugo**
No, we're packing up!
**[15:38] Keto**
Let me go!
**[15:40] Zain**
No, you're my hostages.
**[15:42] Keto**
You can touch me wherever you want.
**[15:44] Zain**
I'll let you go.
**[15:45] Cuff**
Do you never learn?
**[15:48] Alice**
Your Grace, are you hurt?
**[15:51] Duke**
I'm okay.
**[15:53] Duke**
What about you?
**[15:54] Alice**
I'm fine, as you can see.
**[15:56] Daleth**
May we speak for a moment?
**[16:02] Duke**
Are you Daleth?
**[16:05] Duke**
You tried to ruin the circus!
That's playing dirty!
**[16:10] Duke**
I know you need Zain's magic, but...
**[16:13] Daleth**
Forcing Zain to use his magic
helps you two as well.
**[16:18] Zain**
Especially you, Alice.
**[16:21] Zain**
I'm going to wake Sharon up from her slumber.
**[16:27] Alice**
My mother died in an accident long ago.
**[16:30] Daleth**
She did not.
**[16:32] Daleth**
You've never seen her body, have you?
**[16:36] Daleth**
You were just told that
she died in an accident.
**[16:39] Daleth**
Yes, now what was his name?
**[16:42] Daleth**
The man at the mansion...
**[16:52] Daleth**
Do you believe me?
**[16:56] Alice**
I don't know.
**[16:58] Alice**
But I would be so happy if it were true.
**[17:04] Duke**
C-Cuff!
**[17:07] Cuff**
We're even now.
**[17:14] Daleth**
You saw, didn't you?
**[17:18] Zain**
That scared me!
**[17:21] Ringmaster**
*I see. So Zain and Cuff are...*
**[17:27] All**
Good work today!
**[17:34] Ringmaster**
Today's big show was a lot of fun!
**[17:37] Duke**
* This is the first time I've seen*
* a real bar! Not just a picture!*
**[17:40] Ringmaster**
I told you you'd be a big hit.
**[17:43] Duke**
Today was the first time
anybody's wanted my autograph.
**[17:46] Duke**
I got scared and ran off, though.
**[17:49] Alice**
That's just like you, Your Grace.
**[17:55] Ringmaster**
By the way...
**[17:57] Ringmaster**
Zain and Cuff, are you two witches?
**[18:06] Cuff**
Wh-What?
**[18:08] Ringmaster**
I thought so.
**[18:12] Ringmaster**
It explains a lot about
today and everything else.
**[18:17] Ringmaster**
You two are so cool!
**[18:19] Ringmaster**
You should've said something before!
**[18:23] Zain**
Is that all?
**[18:25] Zain**
I feel like an idiot for keeping it a secret.
**[18:30] Zain**
And shouldn't you be trying to get rid of us?
**[18:33] Zain**
We might cause problems
for you like we did today!
**[18:36] Hugo**
If you want to cause
problems for us, then fine.
**[18:38] Hugo**
We cause problems for you.
**[18:42] Woman**
That's right.
**[18:43] Duke**
You have good friends.
**[18:45] Zain**
Yeah.
**[18:47] Ringmaster**
We're not friends.
**[18:49] Ringmaster**
We're family.
**[18:59] Cuff**
Family, huh?
**[19:02] Ringmaster**
Speaking of family, my wife's a witch.
**[19:07] Ringmaster**
And an octopus, actually.
**[19:08] Duke**
An octopus?
**[19:09] Duke**
You mean Amelia?
**[19:12] Ringmaster**
You know my wife?
**[19:14] Duke**
Yeah, she helped me out with my curse.
**[19:17] Ringmaster**
Is she doing well?
**[19:19] Duke**
Yes!
**[19:21] Ringmaster**
I see...
**[19:22] Ringmaster**
Glad to hear that.
**[19:25] Duke**
It explains a lot if you're her husband.
**[19:29] Ringmaster**
Yeah?
**[19:31] Ringmaster**
Well, enough about me.
**[19:33] Ringmaster**
Zain and Cuff have something to say, right?
**[19:35] Zain**
Yeah...
**[19:39] Zain**
Actually...
**[19:42] All**
Congratulations!
**[19:45] Ringmaster**
Another toast, to our new lovers!
**[19:54] Ringmaster**
Cheers.
**[19:55] All**
Cheers!
**[20:03] Zain**
Now give me a kiss!
**[20:19] Ringmaster**
Oh, right.
**[20:21] Ringmaster**
About your curse.
**[20:23] Ringmaster**
Think of it as a trial that God's placed
before you. One you can overcome.
**[20:28] Ringmaster**
Don't get too worked up about it.
**[20:29] Duke**
I can overcome it...?
**[20:31] Ringmaster**
After it's broken, you'll give
me that handshake.
**[20:35] Duke**
I promise!
**[20:46] Cuff**
Thanks for coming.
**[20:57] Cuff**
Thanks so much.
**[21:01] Zain**
Should we hug, too?
**[21:03] Duke**
No, I'll pass.
**[21:05] Duke**
Bye!
**[21:07] Ringmaster**
Bye!
**[21:08] All**
Bye!
**[21:10] Duke**
I'm sure Rob's waiting up for us.
**[21:12] Alice**
Yes.
**[21:46] Cuff**
Don't ever try and leave me again, okay?

It's been four days, huh?
**[00:55] Duke**
I didn't think we'd spend
that much time at the circus.
**[00:59] Alice**
Rob must be worried.
**[01:02] Duke**
I hope Rob didn't decide to clean my room.
**[01:07] Duke**
He puts away things I need, you see.
**[01:09] Alice**
I cleaned it before we left, so it's fine.
**[01:14] Alice**
I moved what you were
hiding under the bed, too.
**[01:19] Duke**
I don't hide anything under there.

You can't have even a single one!
***SIGN*** Look at your poor stockings!
***SIGN*** There's fat spilling out!
**[04:45] Viola**
Shut up. Don't be so loud.
**[04:48] Viola**
Who cares if I put on some weight?
**[04:51] Viola**
I'm a growing girl!
***SIGN*** I'm worried you'll damage your health by putting on weight!
***SIGN*** If you can't control yourself, you'll have no choice but to be your mother's slave!
***SIGN*** And...
***SIGN*** I'd assume Rob likes thin girls.
***SIGN*** Probably.
**[05:10] Viola**
I guess it's time for a diet!
**[05:12] Viola**
I'll cut out snacks, count calories...
**[05:16] Viola**
But what do I do to exercise?
***SIGN*** I'm no expert, so I can only tell you what I've heard.
***SIGN*** Do basic full body stretches consistently.
***SIGN*** Lift weights and engage in other anaerobic exercises.
***SIGN*** Add in walking and other aerobic exercises.
***SIGN*** Cut calories to a reasonable extent...
**[05:34] Viola**
I want a mille-feuille!
**[05:36] Viola**
I want a kouglof!
***SIGN*** You just started a diet a second ago!
**[05:40] Viola**
There are a few advantages to
packing on some pounds, you know.
**[05:44] Viola**
See? I've got boobs!
***SIGN*** Touch them while you can. Once you lose weight, they'll disappear.
***SIGN*** Good idea, Viola!
***SIGN*** Each time you kick me, it burns calories!
***SIGN*** More! Kick me!
***SIGN*** Now hit me! Hard!
***SIGN*** Good! Good!
***SIGN*** Good! Good!
**[06:05] Viola**
Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen...
**[06:09] Viola**
I can't do it anymore.
**[06:10] Viola**
Weightlifting's the most
boring thing in the world.
***SIGN*** Just at first!
***SIGN*** When you get used to it, it's fun.
**[06:15] Viola**
Don't sit in front of me.
**[06:18] Viola**
Don't look at me.
**[06:22] Viola**
No more! I'm tired! I can't go on!
***SIGN*** Legs up high! Move your arms! Back straight!
**[06:29] Viola**
But I can't...
***SIGN*** Nobody will listen to your romantic advice if you don't straighten up!
***SIGN*** Get to work!
**[06:41] Viola**
Shut up!
**[06:43] Viola**
Forget the diet!
**[06:45] Viola**
Rob will understand even if I'm a bit chubby!
***SIGN*** I don't want you to give up.
***SIGN*** It's easy to just go with the flow. It feels good.
***SIGN*** But there are times when you have to hang in there if you want to change something.
***SIGN*** I know that you work harder than anybody, Viola!
**[07:11] (Flashback) Walter**
What's wrong, Viola?
**[07:13] (Flashback) Viola**
Mom got mad and said I had to play
as good as my eldest brother!
**[07:19] (Flashback) Walter**
Him again?
**[07:21] (Flashback) Viola**
Dear Brother Walter, I'll do my best until
I can play good, so practice with me!
***SIGN*** You're a person who can work hard when nobody's watching.
***SIGN*** So don't give up.
***SIGN*** Don't let your laziness win!
***SIGN*** You can do it! I know you can!
***SIGN*** You can do it, Viola!
***SIGN*** You can do it, Viola!
***SIGN*** You can do it, Vio...la!
**[07:43] Viola**
Fine!
**[07:45] Viola**
I'll do my best, for Rob.
**[07:47] Viola**
So leave me alone for a little.
***SIGN*** Of course. I'll be cheering you on!
***SIGN*** I won't lose either...
***SIGN*** I need to prove that I'm better than my clueless eldest brother!
***SIGN*** I could go into town!
**[08:11] Duke**
Look at all this junk.
**[08:14] Duke**
Is there more here than there used to be?
**[08:16] Rob**
I can't throw away a gift, you see.
**[08:19] Duke**
True, some of this I gave to you...
**[08:24] Alice**
There really is a lot here.
**[08:32] Rob**
Look at this, Alice!
**[08:35] Rob**
Ta-dah!
**[08:36] Rob**
A collection of illustrations that the Young
Master drew when he was little!
**[08:40] Duke**
Why do you have that?
**[08:42] Alice**
I'd love to see it.
**[08:44] Rob**
Then you may have it.
**[08:48] Duke**
Don't give her that! That's mine!
**[08:51] Alice**
Should I give it back to you?
**[08:54] Duke**
Y-You can have it, Alice!
**[08:57] Alice**
Thank you!
**[08:58] Rob**
He's always so easily persuaded.
**[09:00] Duke**
You don't get to talk!
**[09:04] Duke**
I have gifts for you from Circus Gemini!
**[09:08] Rob**
From the Circus?
**[09:10] Rob**
I've never even met them. That's so kind!
**[09:14] Duke**
First, from the Ringmaster,
tickets to the circus.
**[09:17] Duke**
From Hugo, a signed bottle cork.
**[09:20] Duke**
He was telling me that he'll be the
greatest entertainer in the world someday,
**[09:24] Duke**
and it'll be worth something then.
**[09:26] Rob**
I'll look forward to that!
**[09:27] Duke**
Cuff gave you this rock
that looks like a cat.
**[09:30] Duke**
She said she liked it and
was carrying it for a while,
**[09:33] Duke**
but she'd make a special gift of it for you.
**[09:35] Rob**
What a kind soul!
**[09:37] Duke**
The other members of the circus gave me a
bunch of stuff too, so I brought it all!
**[09:41] Rob**
It's all wonderful. I love it.
**[09:45] Duke**
And from Zain, a small spyglass.
**[09:49] Duke**
It's light and might be
good for birdwatching.
**[09:53] Duke**
What's this?
**[09:55] Alice**
Can you see?
**[09:56] Duke**
You're all I can see...
**[09:59] Alice**
I have a gift for you as well, Rob.
**[10:02] Rob**
What could it be?
**[10:03] Alice**
Coffee beans. I'm sorry it's not
as interesting as the others.
**[10:07] Duke**
Why are you apologizing? You're cute,
so everything you do is okay!
**[10:12] Duke**
And I got you a new chessboard!
**[10:15] Duke**
Well? Do you like it?
**[10:17] Rob**
Oh!
**[10:18] Rob**
My deepest gratitude to you two
and the members of the circus!
**[10:24] Rob**
I'm a happy man.
**[10:27] Duke**
That's great!
**[10:28] Duke**
Hey, why don't we play a game of chess?
**[10:31] Rob**
Oh, of course.
**[10:33] Alice**
I'll prepare some sweet snacks.
**[10:35] Rob**
Thank you.
**[10:45] Rob**
*Perhaps it seems...*
**[10:48] Rob**
*I'm not as lonely as I thought.*
**[10:52] Rob**
*I really am a lucky man.*
**[11:20] Cuff**
They kissed!
**[11:22] Cuff**
Did you see that, Hugo?
**[11:24] Hugo**
Yeah! They're so cute!
**[11:26] Zain**
*Hmph. There goes our time alone.*
**[11:30] Zain**
*I was supposed to go on a date today,*
**[11:32] Zain**
* but the ringmaster wants me*
* to find an idea for a new act,*
**[11:36] Zain**
*and a third wheel decided to tag along.*
**[11:40] Zain**
* This was supposed to be*
* our first official date,*
**[11:42] Zain**
*but it's not romantic at all.*
**[11:43] Zain**
*It really is a date, right?*
**[11:46] Zain**
* There's nothing exciting*
* about looking at animals.*
**[11:48] Hugo**
Here!
**[11:52] Zain**
Well, I guess it's not that bad.
**[11:55] Zain**
I don't know what Daleth is
going to do next, though.
**[12:00] Zain**
I used my time magic, like she wanted.
**[12:05] Zain**
But what is she after, anyway?
**[12:08] Zain**
How does she benefit from me using my magic?
**[12:13] Zain**
She'd said something about waking Alice's
mother up from her slumber, I guess.
**[12:17] Zain**
But I can't trust that.
**[12:22] Cuff**
What are you frowning at?
**[12:25] Cuff**
Let's look at the animals together, Zain!
**[12:27] Zain**
Sure thing!
**[12:28] Zain**
Can I give you a hug?
**[12:30] Hugo**
Stop right there, sex monster!
**[12:32] Hugo**
Come on, to the next area!
**[12:34] Zain**
Ow...
**[12:50] Cuff**
Look, Zain!
**[12:52] Cuff**
They like me!
**[12:57] Hugo**
Stop looking at Cuff with
those dirty eyes of yours!
**[13:00] Zain**
Stop hitting me all the time!
**[13:03] Zain**
I'm her boyfriend, you know.
**[13:04] Hugo**
You were only able to ask her
out because I gave you a push.
**[13:08] Zain**
I am grateful for that.
**[13:10] Zain**
Thanks!
**[13:11] Cuff**
Aw, you're so cute!
**[13:13] Hugo**
I'm not going to get in your way,
**[13:16] Hugo**
but I like Cuff, too.
**[13:18] Hugo**
And I don't have anybody else to play with.
**[13:21] Zain**
What about your pickpocketing buddies?
**[13:23] Hugo**
I cut ties with them a long time ago.
**[13:25] Hugo**
Some of them are mad at me for leaving,
**[13:30] Hugo**
but I don't care anymore!
**[13:32] Hugo**
So let me hang out with you
guys once in a while, okay?
**[13:35] Hugo**
And take good care of Cuff.
**[13:37] Zain**
Yeah, I sure will.
**[13:46] Hugo**
The lion cage!
**[13:47] Cuff**
What?
**[13:49] Cuff**
Zain, did you know they call the
lion the king of the beasts?
**[13:54] Zain**
You're really smart, Cuff.
**[13:57] Zain**
This sure is popular, though.
**[13:59] Zain**
We can barely see anything.
**[14:03] Zain**
Here.
**[14:04] Zain**
Now you can see, right?
**[14:06] Hugo**
Yeah! Thanks, Zain!
**[14:08] Hugo**
Huh?
**[14:09] Zain**
What's wrong?
**[14:10] Hugo**
Nothing, just... I've
never seen a lion before.
**[14:13] Hugo**
Is that really a lion?
**[14:22] Hugo**
"Lion the red panda, everybody's friend."
**[14:27] Zain**
Don't give the animals confusing names!
**[14:32] Hugo**
Are you going to see Alice and the Duke?
**[14:35] Zain**
Yeah, the circus is closed tomorrow.
**[14:39] Zain**
We need to go see them
when we've got a chance.
**[14:41] Cuff**
I want to talk with Alice a whole bunch!
**[14:44] Hugo**
Okay, I won't bother you guys anymore!
**[14:49] Hugo**
See you tomorrow, Cuff!
**[14:51] Hugo**
Zain, don't get too out of control!
**[14:53] Hugo**
Bye!
**[14:55] Zain**
What was that supposed to mean?
**[14:59] Cuff**
Our date was a lot of fun, right, Zain?
**[15:02] Zain**
Can I kiss you?
**[15:03] Cuff**
No.
**[15:04] Zain**
Let me feel your tits, then.
**[15:09] Hugo**
You ruined it, Zain.
**[15:12] Hugo**
You're such a dork.
**[15:40] (Flashback) Daleth**
You saw!
**[15:43] Daleth**
Somebody saw my face...
**[15:46] Daleth**
And after I worked so hard to hide it!
**[15:49] Daleth**
This ugly face...
**[15:53] Daleth**
These wounds that even magic can't heal...
**[15:57] Daleth**
Do you understand how lonely I am,
**[16:03] Daleth**
my sister?
**[16:09] Zain**
Man, just our luck.
**[16:12] Cuff**
It was a clear sky.
**[16:13] Cuff**
I didn't expect it to
suddenly become a blizzard.
**[16:16] Zain**
I guess the weather changes
easily on the mountain.
**[16:19] Zain**
And I was looking forward to seeing Alice.
**[16:23] Cuff**
Yeah.
**[16:24] Cuff**
We won't be able to make it like this.
**[16:27] Zain**
I'd like to go back to town when it stops,
**[16:30] Zain**
but I guess we'll have
to stay here for a while.
**[16:35] Zain**
Take my jacket.
**[16:37] Cuff**
No, I'm not cold.
**[16:40] Zain**
No, I can see through your clothes!
**[16:43] Zain**
Or can I stare?
**[16:46] Cuff**
Of course not.
**[16:48] Cuff**
I'll use magic to dry it.
I don't need your jacket.
**[16:56] Cuff**
It's been a while since it's
been just the two of us.
**[16:59] Zain**
Yeah.
**[17:01] Zain**
Hugo or somebody else from
the circus is always around.
**[17:05] Cuff**
*Our first night...*
**[17:06] Zain**
*...together as lovers.*
**[17:08] Cuff**
*So romantic.*
**[17:10] Zain**
*So hot.*
**[17:12] Cuff**
Zain, since we're alone, why don't we do
something only the two of us could do?
**[17:16] Zain**
Something sexy?
**[17:17] Cuff**
No. I'll hit you again if you keep that up.
**[17:19] Zain**
Be gentle, at least!
**[17:21] Cuff**
Just watch.
**[17:23] Cuff**
Guess what this animal is.
**[17:26] Zain**
A fox?
**[17:27] Zain**
I remember this.
**[17:28] Zain**
We used to play this game all
the time when we were kids.
**[17:31] Cuff**
Yeah.
**[17:32] Cuff**
Let's play some more.
**[17:39] Song**
*When you remember an old story*
**[17:49] Song**
*Magic animals come dancing out of nowhere*
**[17:56] Song**
*Let's draw them with shimmering flames*
**[18:02] Song**
*Foxes, lions, red pandas*
**[18:03] Zain**
Camel, hippo...
**[18:05] Zain**
And that's a monkey and a bird?
**[18:08] Song**
*Camels, zebras, monkeys and hippos*
**[18:08] Zain**
Those are all animals we saw today.
**[18:11] Cuff**
I thought I'd draw them while
I still remembered them.
**[18:14] Cuff**
What's this, then?
**[18:14] Song**
*All glowing with gentle light*
**[18:18] Zain**
It's Alice!
**[18:19] Song**
*I'm not lonely, because I'm not alone*
**[18:19] Zain**
Ow!
**[18:21] Cuff**
Why would you touch it?
**[18:23] Zain**
I couldn't help myself.
**[18:24] Cuff**
Zain, when we were at the zoo, you
were thinking about Daleth, right?
**[18:26] Song**
*If together, we can bring light*
**[18:30] Song**
*Bring hope to a place with nothing at all*
**[18:31] Zain**
Yeah, a little.
**[18:34] Zain**
I'm wondering what her next move is.
**[18:37] Song**
*we can do anything*
**[18:38] Cuff**
Don't worry.
**[18:39] Cuff**
If something happens,
I'll protect you with my magic.
**[18:42] Zain**
It's the other way around. I'll protect you.
**[18:43] Song**
*We'll always be together*
**[18:45] Cuff**
Okay.
**[18:46] Cuff**
I'll protect everyone, then.
**[18:50] Cuff**
Do you regret using your time magic?
**[18:55] Zain**
No.
**[18:56] Zain**
I did it to protect you.
**[18:59] Zain**
My weird feelings about it all disappeared.
**[19:02] Cuff**
I see.
**[19:04] Zain**
I won't know if I can do it until I try,
**[19:06] Zain**
but I'm thinking of going back in time to
stop the curse from being placed on him.
**[19:12] Cuff**
Can you do that?
**[19:14] Zain**
Like I said, I won't know till I try.
**[19:17] Zain**
I wasn't able to bring our
parents back to life, after all.
**[19:21] Zain**
You can't change fate.
**[19:25] Zain**
But...
**[19:26] Zain**
If his curse isn't fate,
**[19:29] Zain**
then there's a chance.
**[19:32] Cuff**
I'm not sure I really understand.
**[19:34] Cuff**
But okay.
**[19:35] Zain**
The biggest problem is that we'll have to
fight the person who put the curse on him.
**[19:40] Zain**
Daleth's sister, Sade.
**[19:45] Zain**
Whether we can beat the one that they called
the strongest, most terrible Witch...
**[19:50] Cuff**
Don't worry! I'll get stronger!
**[19:54] Cuff**
So don't worry about it,
no matter who I'm facing.
**[19:57] Zain**
I'm so proud I could cry.
**[20:00] Zain**
Can I kiss you?
**[20:02] Cuff**
No.
**[20:04] Cuff**
They're dear friends.
**[20:07] Cuff**
I want to break the curse as soon as I can.
**[20:11] Zain**
Yeah.
**[20:12] Zain**
And we have to repay the ringmaster
and the others, little by little.
**[20:17] Cuff**
Hey, Zain.
**[20:18] Zain**
What?
**[20:24] Cuff**
If the blizzard never stopped, ever,
**[20:27] Cuff**
and it was just the two
of us alone forever...
**[20:29] Cuff**
What would you do?
**[20:39] Zain**
D-Don't be stupid!
**[20:41] Zain**
It'll clear up by morning, and then
we can head back to town!
**[20:44] Cuff**
Yeah. You're right.
**[20:47] Zain**
* If... If the blizzard*
* really never did stop...*
**[20:53] Zain**
*I'd... work up the courage, and...*
**[21:00] Cuff**
Look, Zain!
**[21:02] Cuff**
I cleared up after all!
**[21:04] Zain**
Yeah.
**[21:06] Zain**
Of course it did, yeah.
**[21:09] Cuff**
I'm hungry. Let's go home and eat.
**[21:12] Zain**
Right, right.
**[21:18] Zain**
What was that for?
**[21:20] Cuff**
I'm not sure when we'll
be alone together again.
**[21:25] Zain**
But you get mad when I try to touch you!
**[21:28] Cuff**
What, did it make you upset?
**[21:29] Zain**
No, it made me really happy!
**[21:32] Zain**
Do it again sometime...
**[23:07] Viola**
My diet's complete!
**[23:10] Viola**
Time to eat some macarons as a
reward for losing weight!
***SIGN*** You'll just go back to how you were, right?
**[23:16] Viola**
It's just one!
**[23:20] Viola**
Hey, Dear Brother, thanks for inspiring me.
**[23:26] Viola**
Here. I'll give you one. Just one.
***SIGN*** No thanks.
***SIGN*** I'm trying to avoid sweets.

Wow, a string telephone!
**[00:32] Duke**
I remember these!
**[00:34] Duke**
We used to play with these all
the time when we were kids!
**[00:37] Alice**
With this, I can speak to you
even when I'm in the next room.
**[00:44] Alice**
I'll give it a try.
**[00:49] Alice**
For my first time with Your Grace, I'll...
**[01:01] Alice**
Did you hear what I said?
**[01:03] Duke**
I can't say it with my own lips.
**[01:06] Alice**
Then it worked!
***SIGN*** Episode 19
The Duke, Alice, and the Encounter in the Witches' World
**[02:42] Duke**
Huh? What is this place?
**[02:44] Duke**
You're dressed in a cute outfit...
**[02:46] Duke**
And so am I?
**[02:48] Alice**
It appears we've been sucked
into another book I was reading.
**[02:53] Duke**
Oh, this happened before.
**[02:57] Duke**
Last time it was Wonderland, so...
**[03:01] Duke**
Is this "Little Red Riding Hood"?
**[03:05] Red**
Indeed!
**[03:06] Red**
I'm Little Red Riding Hood!
**[03:09] Duke**
It's really her!
**[03:10] Duke**
I want an autograph!
**[03:11] Red**
Quiet.
**[03:12] Red**
There's a naughty wolf in the house up ahead.
**[03:16] Red**
I want you to defeat it for me!
**[03:18] Duke**
A wolf?
**[03:19] Red**
If you can defeat it,
**[03:21] Red**
I'll grant you any wish!
**[03:23] Duke**
Really?
**[03:24] Duke**
Can you break my curse?
**[03:26] Red**
Of course! Leave it to me!
**[03:29] Duke**
By the way, why am I dressed like a wolf?
**[03:34] Red**
So he'll think you're a buddy
and let his guard down, duh!
**[03:37] Red**
Now go!
**[03:38] Red**
Go!
**[03:40] Duke**
She's scary! She's got
a nasty sadistic streak!
**[03:44] Alice**
There, there.
**[03:48] Duke**
Alice, when are you going
to let go of my tail?
**[03:53] Alice**
I'm sorry.
**[03:54] Alice**
I was seeing if I could touch
you in this dream, too.
**[03:58] Alice**
If you want to touch me too, you can.
**[04:01] Alice**
Like a real wolf.
**[04:03] Duke**
I'll pass!
**[04:07] Alice**
Is this the wolf's house?
**[04:10] Duke**
Yes.
**[04:11] Duke**
Let's go inside.
**[04:18] Duke**
I-It's really him!
**[04:21] Alice**
It is.
**[04:22] Duke**
B-But how do we defeat him?
We don't have any weapons.
**[04:27] Wolf**
Is that you, Little Red Riding Hood?
**[04:31] Alice**
What great big ears you have, Grandma.
**[04:34] Duke**
Alice!
**[04:36] Wolf**
All the better to hear you with.
**[04:41] Alice**
What great big eyes you have, Grandma.
**[04:45] Duke**
Why are you looking at me?
**[04:47] Wolf**
All the better to see you with.
**[04:52] Alice**
Your paws are so sexy, Your Grace.
**[04:56] Duke**
You just said "Your Grace"...
**[04:57] Wolf**
All the better to grab you with, my dear.
**[05:01] Duke**
And he's not even listening!
**[05:03] Alice**
What a great big mouth you have, Grandma.
**[05:07] Wolf**
All the better to eat—
**[05:09] Alice**
All the better to eat you with, Your Grace!
**[05:11] Duke**
Don't steal his line!
**[05:13] Wolf**
You guys keep messing up the story!
**[05:16] Wolf**
I'll eat you!
**[05:23] Wolf Mommy**
Takashi, dinner time!
**[05:26] Wolf Mommy**
Dinner time! Dinner time!
**[05:32] Wolf**
Mommy! Mommy!
**[05:34] Duke**
He turned into a baby!
**[05:36] Wolf**
Why did you exile me from the pack?
**[05:39] Wolf**
I was so lonely!
**[05:42] Wolf**
So lonely!
**[05:44] Red**
So that's what happened, huh?
**[05:47] Red**
Good work, you two.
**[05:49] Red**
I'll take him in and raise him!
**[05:52] Duke**
So, about that wish...
**[05:56] Red**
You didn't defeat him!
**[05:58] Red**
Could you really hurt a
defenseless child like this?
**[06:01] Wolf**
Goo-goo!
**[06:03] Red**
Wake up, loser!
**[06:19] Duke**
She looks so cute when she's asleep.
**[06:39] Mother**
*Walter?*
**[06:41] (Flashback) Mother**
Did you trip? Are you all right?
**[06:43] (Flashback) Walter**
Yes, I'm all right.
**[06:46] (Flashback) Mother**
Take care of yourself.
**[06:49] (Flashback) Mother**
Because if something happens to him,
you'll become heir in his stead.
**[06:59] Walter**
*Ever since I was a kid,*
**[07:01] Walter**
* I've always known that everyone*
* liked my brother more than me.*
**[07:07] Walter**
* They don't say it, but my mother*
* and Viola both love him.*
**[07:12] Walter**
*They want him to become heir.*
**[07:16] Walter**
*My mother always looks out the window...*
**[07:21] Walter**
* Because she's waiting for him to*
* break the curse and come home.*
**[07:36] Walter**
* The shady merchant in town said*
* that if you wear this magical robe*
**[07:41] Walter**
* and touch a mirror on*
* the night of a blood moon,*
**[07:45] Walter**
* you can go to the Sabbath,*
* where witches gather.*
**[07:49] Walter**
* I need to find out the truth about*
* the curse before the eldest does,*
**[07:53] Walter**
* and make them all realize*
* I'm better than he is!*
***SIGN*** I'll beat him. I'll beat him no matter what.
***SIGN*** I'll beat him! I swear! I'll beat him!
***SIGN*** I'm not just his replacement!
***SIGN*** I'll prove that I'm worth something!
**[08:21] Duke**
You want to go back to the Sabbath?
**[08:24] Duke**
But why... are you dressed like that?
**[08:27] Alice**
The witches know my face,
so I thought I'd wear a disguise.
**[08:32] Alice**
What do you think?
**[08:34] Duke**
All the cute things in this world
put together aren't as cute as you!
**[08:38] Duke**
But Cuff and Zain aren't here...
**[08:41] Alice**
I want to see for myself if
what Daleth said is true...
**[08:47] (Flashback) Daleth**
I'm going to wake Sharon up from her slumber.
**[08:52] Alice**
We weren't able to finish our conversation,
so I want to talk to her personally.
**[08:58] Alice**
I know it's dangerous.
**[08:59] Duke**
B-But how will you get to the Witches' World?
**[09:03] Duke**
Last time, Zain and Cuff took us,
**[09:05] Duke**
but it's not that easy this time.
**[09:08] Alice**
I'll use their magic.
**[09:14] Alice**
I borrowed the stone that Cuff had from Rob.
**[09:17] Duke**
The place you stored it was too sexy!
**[09:24] Alice**
Cuff liked it and kept
it with her all the time.
**[09:27] Alice**
So it still has a little bit of magic.
**[09:31] Alice**
What will you do?
**[09:33] Alice**
I'm willing to go alone.
**[09:35] Duke**
O-Of course I'll go!
**[09:37] Duke**
I can't let you go by yourself!
**[09:40] Alice**
You're so brave, Your Grace.
**[09:44] Duke**
This is the present Zain gave us...
**[09:48] Duke**
Alice!
**[09:49] Duke**
W-Wait, Alice!
**[10:04] Walter**
*So this is the Witches' World?*
**[10:06] Walter**
*There are more people here than I thought.*
**[10:08] Walter**
*There'll be trouble if I'm caught.*
**[10:10] Keto**
No luck.
**[10:12] Keto**
Daleth refuses to come out of the church.
**[10:17] Rabbit**
No luck, huh?
**[10:19] Teto**
Yeah.
**[10:20] Teto**
Somebody saw her face,
and now she's depressed.
**[10:22] Keto**
That's a problem.
**[10:23] Keto**
Can't start the Sabbath without the boss!
**[10:26] Walter**
*There's a more powerful witch here?*
**[10:29] Walter**
*Then I should try heading for that church!*
**[10:32] Keto**
That rich kid in the top hat is a jerk!
**[10:36] Walter**
*Him? The eldest?*
**[10:38] Teto**
I could never be friends
with a wimp like him!
**[10:42] Walter**
*I know what you mean, miss!*
**[10:45] Walter**
*The enemy of an enemy is my friend!*
**[10:47] Walter**
* Someone who doesn't like the*
* person I don't like is my friend!*
**[10:53] Alice**
Are you okay?
**[10:55] Duke**
Thanks, Alice...
**[10:59] Duke**
Walter!
**[11:01] Teto**
Who was that?
**[11:03] Keto**
Daleth?
**[11:04] Teto**
It's not Daleth!
**[11:09] Duke**
Alice, follow Walter!
**[11:13] Keto&Teto**
Hold it!
**[11:19] Witches**
Wait! Wait!
**[11:20] Alice**
Your Grace...
***SIGN*** Bye-bye!
***SIGN*** I don't know what happened to him, but why don't you head back?
**[11:36] Alice**
I was told to follow you.
***SIGN*** I get nervous when I'm alone with a girl.
***SIGN*** It would make me happy if you'd go away.
**[11:46] Alice**
I'm afraid I can't do that.
***SIGN*** Alice, was it?
***SIGN*** I can vaguely remember you being at our household when I was young.
***SIGN*** Are you okay with the way things are?
***SIGN*** Are you fine with being his servant?
***SIGN*** A young girl, stuck in that dark forest... I feel bad for you.
**[12:06] Alice**
No, I'm happy to be by His
Grace's side each day.
***SIGN*** You are?
***SIGN*** He's not that special.
**[12:14] Alice**
You simply misunderstand His Grace.
**[12:19] Alice**
You're brothers, so you
have similar personalities.
***SIGN*** Please don't lump me in with him...
***SIGN*** It really bugs me.
**[12:32] Alice**
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
***SIGN*** And especially don't use that word.
***SIGN*** Whenever somebody says I'm his little brother or the second son...
***SIGN*** It kills me!
***SIGN*** So this is the place?
***SIGN*** This is the church where the boss of the Witches' World is?
**[12:55] Alice**
*Is His Grace all right?*
**[12:58] Heart Brother**
Trick or Treat?
**[13:01] Alice**
I'm sorry.
**[13:02] Alice**
I don't have any candy right now.
**[13:11] Heart Brother**
Ow...
***SIGN*** Give that back to her.
**[13:14] Heart Brother**
I just heard what you said before!
**[13:17] Heart Brother**
It drives you nuts when people
say you're the second son!
**[13:20] Heart Brother**
Well, you'll be the second son forever, loser!
***SIGN*** That's not true.
**[13:23] Heart Brother**
I can see it on your face!
**[13:25] Heart Brother**
Bye, second son!
***SIGN*** Wait!
**[13:34] Alice**
What a strange place for a house.
***SIGN*** Can that pendant be repaired?
**[13:38] Alice**
Yes.
**[13:39] Alice**
The photo inside is what's important.
***SIGN*** Let's get it back.
***SIGN*** Wear this.
***SIGN*** A shady merchant in town told me that if you wear it,
***SIGN*** they won't realize you're human.
***SIGN*** I don't know how much it'll really help, but...
**[13:56] Alice**
You should wear it, Walter.
***SIGN*** It's fine.
***SIGN*** The witches back there already saw my face.
**[14:02] Alice**
Why are you being so kind?
***SIGN*** I'm protecting you because you're a girl.
***SIGN*** I'm not very experienced around women,
***SIGN*** but I was raised from birth to be polite to them.
***SIGN*** That's all.
**[14:18] Alice**
You're a kind man, just like His Grace.
**[14:26] Alice**
I'm sorry.
***SIGN*** Let's just go...
**[14:31] Heart Brother**
You're finally here, second son!
***SIGN*** You little...
**[14:35] Heart Brother**
Stupid second son!
**[14:37] Heart Brother**
Come catch me if you don't like it!
**[14:41] Heart Brother**
Smell ya later!
**[14:44] Alice**
I apologize for making you deal with this.
***SIGN*** No, he's gone too far.
***SIGN*** I'll set him straight after I catch him!
**[14:53] Alice**
I don't see him anywhere.
***SIGN*** This reminds me of when I was a child.
***SIGN*** My brother was terrible at hide-and-seek.
***SIGN*** I always found him right away.
***SIGN*** I'd hide somewhere cramped and not move at all.
***SIGN*** He wouldn't find me for hours. Sometimes, he'd forget me!
***SIGN*** And that was all my brother's fault!
***SIGN*** And so... hide-and-seek is something I excel at!
***SIGN*** He's hiding inside this closet...
***SIGN*** Or more precisely, behind it!
**[15:24] Heart Brother**
Oh no! The stupid second son found me!
***SIGN*** Hold it!
**[15:28] Heart Brother**
Hey, I'm over here!
***SIGN*** When did he get over there?
***SIGN*** Is there a secret passage?
***SIGN*** Well, I'll get him back!
***SIGN*** I'll get him back one vigintillion times!
**[15:37] Alice**
That's a very difficult word, you know.
**[15:41] Heart Brother**
Up here!
**[15:42] Heart Brother**
Get up here, second son!
**[15:45] Heart Brother**
Come on and catch me!
**[15:47] Heart Brother**
Man, being the second son must suck!
**[15:49] Heart Brother**
This way!
**[15:51] Heart Brother**
This way, second son!
**[15:52] Heart Brother**
Second son! Second son!
**[15:53] Heart Brother**
The unneeded one! The second son!
**[15:58] Alice**
Walter...
**[16:00] Walter**
*This stress is all the eldest's fault.*
**[16:04] Walter**
*I must focus...*
**[16:06] Heart Brother**
Hey, what's wrong?
**[16:07] Heart Brother**
Wimpy second son!
**[16:10] Heart Brother**
Come catch me.
***SIGN*** I'm done chasing you.
**[16:17] Heart Brother**
You've given up already?
**[16:19] Heart Brother**
Loser!
***SIGN*** There are two of you, aren't there?
***SIGN*** You're twins who look the exactly same.
***SIGN*** The older brother is the one who took the pendant.
**[16:28] Heart Brother**
Gulp...
***SIGN*** And you look like you're wearing hand-me-downs, so you're the younger.
***SIGN*** And... you never made fun of me for being a second son, did you?
**[16:40] Alice**
I found the older brother.
**[16:42] Heart Brother**
What are you doing?
**[16:44] Heart Brother**
They caught me because of you!
**[16:46] Heart Brother**
I-I'm sorry.
***SIGN*** Are you really going to take that?
***SIGN*** You don't have to do everything your older brother says just because you're younger.
***SIGN*** You can get him back.
***SIGN*** That's what it means to be brothers.
***SIGN*** Now give back the pendant, please.
**[17:03] Heart Brother**
No!
**[17:06] Heart Brother**
Here.
**[17:07] Alice**
Thank you.
**[17:08] Heart Brother**
What do you think you're doing, loser?
**[17:10] Heart Brother**
Shut up! Stop bossing me around!
**[17:13] Alice**
* Perhaps you're much nicer*
* than I thought, Walter.*
**[17:20] Alice**
You really are just like His Grace.
**[17:28] Heart Brother**
You okay, second son?
**[17:30] Heart Brother**
Get a hold of yourself!
**[17:40] Daleth**
I just can't do it.
**[17:42] Daleth**
I can't get over it...
**[17:44] (Flashback) Sade**
Daleth, your face looks just like mine,
so it's hard to tell us apart.
**[17:51] (Flashback) Sade**
Would it be all right if I changed that?
**[18:01] Alice**
You're really climbing up there?
***SIGN*** Yes, it will be safer than going in through the front.
***SIGN*** If I can get inside, I'll unlock the door. So wait for me!
**[18:14] Alice**
*He's incredibly bold.*
**[18:19] Daleth**
Sister... how could you be so
innocent about hurting someone?
**[18:24] Daleth**
Why did you die and leave
me in charge of everything?
**[18:31] Daleth**
I hate you, Sister!
**[18:34] Daleth**
You're selfish, and arrogant, and
you don't understand me at all!
**[18:42] Daleth**
You ruined my life!
**[18:45] Daleth**
I'll never be able to forgive you!
***SIGN*** I know exactly how you feel!
**[18:52] Daleth**
Who's there?
***SIGN*** I know exactly how you feel!
**[18:55] Daleth**
You just said the same thing twice!
**[18:57] Daleth**
What are you doing in my church?
**[19:03] Daleth**
You're that young man's little brother?
***SIGN*** I'm Walter...
***SIGN*** Sorry, I heard what you said.
***SIGN*** I know it's strange to feel sympathy for a witch.
***SIGN*** But I hate my brother too!
***SIGN*** My whole life was decided from the start because of him!
***SIGN*** He's selfish! Arrogant! He doesn't understand me at all!
***SIGN*** You're just like me!
**[19:29] Daleth**
What are you talking about?
**[19:30] Daleth**
And why did you even come here?
***SIGN*** To learn about my brother's curse.
***SIGN*** I'd planned to stay in the shadows but...
***SIGN*** I couldn't just ignore a crying lady.
**[19:43] Daleth**
I'm not a lady! We're not the same!
**[19:47] Daleth**
My face is ugly and scarred!
**[19:50] Daleth**
A handsome man like you
could never understand!
***SIGN*** No, we're the same!
***SIGN*** No matter what I look like, right now I'm just his replacement.
***SIGN*** My scars are there. You just can't see them.
***SIGN*** You don't need to hide your face.
***SIGN*** Look at me.
***SIGN*** You're beautiful.
***SIGN*** You should be more confident in yourself.
**[20:17] Keto**
Daleth! We caught two rats snooping around!
**[20:21] Teto**
We all had an awful time tying
him up without touching him.
**[20:27] Keto**
Sorry! I know you don't like
people seeing your face!
**[20:32] Daleth**
How do you deal with your scars?
***SIGN*** I accept them.
***SIGN*** I can't change the fact that I'm just a replacement for him.
***SIGN*** But...
***SIGN*** I can work to show I'm more valuable than he is.
***SIGN*** Nothing will ever change if you don't look toward the future.
**[20:56] Daleth**
That's right.
**[20:58] Daleth**
It's time for me to get over this.
**[21:37] Daleth**
I'm sorry for being depressed for so long.
**[21:40] Daleth**
From now on, I'll act more like this.
**[21:43] Daleth**
Thanks, everyone.
**[21:48] Rabbit**
You're beautiful, Miss Daleth!
**[21:52] Keto**
You're pretty!

* Can you imagine a life where you*

**[00:09] Narrator**
* The curse the witch laid upon him caused*

**[00:14] Narrator**

*"death incarnate that dwells in the forest."*

**[00:31] Zain**
Cuff, you're a pretty good cook.
**[00:34] Cuff**
Am I?
**[00:38] Zain**
You can make it for me the rest
of your life, if you want.
**[00:42] Zain**
* Ooh, that sounded kind of*
* like a marriage proposal!*
**[00:46] Cuff**
No, that'd be a lot of work.
**[00:49] Zain**
Oh...
***SIGN*** Episode 20
The Duke, Alice, and the Kissing Window
**[02:27] Viola**
*Hey there, it's Viola!*
**[02:34] Viola**
* Today, I've come to town*
* to see Cuff in the circus!*
**[02:41] Zain**
Welcome, Viola!
**[02:44] Zain**
Cuff's taking care of our new lion.
**[02:48] Viola**
Why did you get a lion?
**[02:50] Zain**
We went to the town zoo a while back,
**[02:52] Zain**
and they didn't have a lion.
**[02:56] Zain**
I told the Ringmaster, and he said that
meant if we got one, everybody would love it.
**[03:01] Zain**
And before you know it...
**[03:04] Viola**
Sounds dangerous, though.
**[03:06] Viola**
It's a real lion, right?
**[03:07] Zain**
Yeah, I guess.
**[03:08] Zain**
It seems to be getting
along with Cuff for now.
**[03:11] Zain**
Here.
**[03:11] Viola**
Hey!
**[03:12] Viola**
Cuff, how are you doing?
**[03:13] Viola**
She's dead!
**[03:15] Cuff**
Oh, is that you, Viola?
**[03:18] Cuff**
Thanks for coming!
**[03:19] Viola**
Shocking content warning!
**[03:21] Viola**
No looking!
**[03:21] Cuff**
One sec, I'll get out.
**[03:28] Cuff**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[03:29] Viola**
What's with that smile?
**[03:31] Viola**
Anyway, are you okay?
**[03:33] Cuff**
Yes, it seems to really like me.
**[03:36] Cuff**
Don't worry.
**[03:37] Cuff**
It probably thinks of me
like a parent or a sister.
**[03:41] Viola**
*No, I think it thinks of you as food.*
**[03:43] Zain**
Since Viola's here, why don't you go
have fun in town until the show starts?
**[03:48] Cuff**
That's a great idea!
**[03:50] Cuff**
Viola, let's go!
**[03:52] Viola**
Sure, I guess.
**[03:54] Cuff**
Okay, I'll get ready!
**[03:57] Viola**
*I think Cuff has taken a liking to me.*
**[04:00] Viola**
*Well, I guess that's okay.*
**[04:02] Cuff**
Where should we go, Viola?
**[04:04] Cuff**
Shopping? Maybe a café?
**[04:05] Viola**
Calm down.
**[04:07] Viola**
Let's take a look around first.
**[04:09] Viola**
Oh wow, that's really cute!
**[04:13] Viola**
It's been a while since I've been in town.
**[04:15] Viola**
I've barely left the house lately.
**[04:18] Cuff**
What are you doing at home?
**[04:20] Viola**
Studying every single day.
**[04:22] Viola**
Nobles have a lot less free
time than you'd think.
**[04:24] Viola**
So it makes me really happy to be
able to hang out with a friend—
**[04:28] Viola**
No, I'm just making sure
you're not lonely, Cuff!
**[04:30] Viola**
Don't get the wrong idea, okay?
**[04:33] Cuff**
You're a tsundere, aren't you?
**[04:36] Viola**
I-I know, Cuff.
**[04:37] Viola**
Let me pick out an outfit for you.
**[04:40] Cuff**
Really? That'd be great.
**[04:42] Viola**
Leave it to me!
**[04:43] Viola**
Kneel before my fashion sense!
**[04:50] Viola**
You put it on okay?
**[04:52] Cuff**
No, I have no idea how to put it on.
**[04:55] Cuff**
Show me.
**[04:56] Viola**
Y-You dummy! Why'd you take your underwear off?
**[05:00] Cuff**
Oh, right.
**[05:02] Viola**
*I'm glad the clerk didn't see her.*
**[05:05] Viola**
*Her boobs were popping out like 4D!*
**[05:10] Cuff**
Viola...
**[05:11] Cuff**
Help me get it on.
**[05:15] Viola**
It's got to be hard for Zain to
take care of you all the time.
**[05:18] Cuff**
Maybe.
**[05:20] Cuff**
I'm grateful to him.
**[05:23] Viola**
And there you go.
**[05:25] Viola**
Look in the mirror.
**[05:33] Viola**
Well?
**[05:34] Cuff**
This is great!
**[05:36] Cuff**
You really do have good fashion sense!
**[05:38] Viola**
Right? I'm pretty confident.
**[05:40] Cuff**
Why not go pro someday?
**[05:43] Cuff**
You could be a fashion
designer or something.
**[05:45] Viola**
Not happening. I'm a noblewoman, you know.
**[05:49] Viola**
My future's already been decided.
**[05:51] Viola**
I'm too old for dreams.
**[05:54] Cuff**
Why not do it and then worry about it?
**[05:58] Cuff**
Oh, look at the time!
**[05:59] Cuff**
Once we pay for this,
we'll head back to the circus.
**[06:02] Cuff**
If I see you in the seats,
I'll blow you a kiss!
**[06:05] Viola**
Right, right!
**[06:15] Viola**
*She's like a totally different person.*
**[06:17] Viola**
* The center of attention,*
* the girl everyone loves...*
**[06:22] Viola**
*She's so amazing.*
**[06:32] Viola**
*And what's with that smile?*
**[06:45] Duke**
Walter, I never thought I'd see you here.
**[06:50] Duke**
Are you okay?
***SIGN*** Shut up, scum!
**[06:52] Alice**
Seems like he's okay!
**[06:54] Duke**
Yeah.
**[06:56] Duke**
Thanks for untying me, but...
are you sure that's a good idea?
**[07:00] Daleth**
I don't mind.
**[07:02] Daleth**
You've come to hear the
rest of the story, right?
**[07:05] Alice**
Yes.
**[07:06] Alice**
About my mother...
**[07:10] Daleth**
Follow me.
**[07:11] Daleth**
I want to show you something.
**[07:13] Duke**
You're sure it's not a t-trap?
***SIGN*** Wimp!
***SIGN*** This is why you're not cut out to be heir.
**[07:20] Daleth**
He's lower than a wimp. He's a maggot.
**[07:23] Duke**
That's going too far, isn't it?
**[07:25] Alice**
Your Grace, let's get going too.
**[07:29] Duke**
I hate to admit it, but yes,
I lack experience as a person.
**[07:33] Duke**
You're a lot more courageous than me.
**[07:36] Duke**
I'd love to let you be heir.
***SIGN*** "Let me" be heir?
**[07:41] Duke**
Did I say something weird?
**[07:43] Daleth**
Walter is correct in every way.
**[07:45] Duke**
You're taking his side a little
too much, don't you think?
***SIGN*** I really do hate you!
***SIGN*** I need to beat you to become the heir, or there's no point!
***SIGN*** You're selfish, arrogant, and completely lacking in self-awareness!
***SIGN*** The first thing I'm gonna do when I break your curse is punch you in the face!
**[08:00] Duke**
That's really harsh.
***SIGN*** You can just punch me back.
***SIGN*** That's what siblings do.
**[08:07] Daleth**
*Siblings...*
**[08:10] (Flashback) Walter**
You and I are the same.
**[08:13] Daleth**
*Maybe that's right.*
**[08:15] Daleth**
* If I didn't try to do everything*
* she said, if I argued...*
**[08:22] Daleth**
* Why am I blushing while looking*
* at this human child?*
**[08:27] (Flashback) Walter**
I couldn't just ignore a crying lady.
**[08:30] (Flashback) Walter**
You're beautiful...
**[08:35] Daleth**
* That's way too much for a girl who's*
* been in mourning for over 150 years!*
**[08:40] Daleth**
*He needs to take responsibility.*
**[08:52] Alice**
What is this place?
**[08:54] Duke**
I can't say I like the interior decorating...
**[08:56] Duke**
Is there a mummy or something in here?
**[08:58] Daleth**
Silence.
**[09:03] Daleth**
Alice, this is what I wanted to show you.
**[09:16] Alice**
Mother...
**[09:28] Alice**
Mother...
**[09:30] Duke**
This is... Sharon?
**[09:32] Duke**
Alice's mother?
**[09:34] Daleth**
As I said, she's alive.
**[09:37] Daleth**
She's simply been asleep for a long time.
**[09:39] Alice**
That's impossible.
**[09:41] Daleth**
Her supposed death in an accident was a lie
**[09:44] Daleth**
told to you by the one-eyed man.
**[09:48] Daleth**
I'm a mean witch, but this
isn't an illusion or a lie.
**[09:52] Daleth**
Why not pinch yourself to make sure?
**[10:00] Alice**
She's not cold.
**[10:02] Alice**
Mother... Mother!
**[10:04] Daleth**
It won't help.
**[10:05] Daleth**
She won't wake up.
**[10:07] Daleth**
This, too, is my sister's curse.
**[10:11] Daleth**
Just like you can't break the boy's curse,
**[10:13] Daleth**
her curse is unbreakable as well.
**[10:16] Daleth**
My sister was a magical genius.
**[10:18] Duke**
How did Sade die, then?
**[10:22] Daleth**
I want to know the answer myself.
**[10:25] Daleth**
Sharon might know.
**[10:28] Daleth**
That's why I want to wake her up.
**[10:30] Daleth**
I did quite like her too.
**[10:34] Daleth**
What are you doing?
**[10:37] Alice**
Can't I take her home?
**[10:39] Daleth**
If something happens, will you
be able to deal with it?
**[10:42] Daleth**
She's safer with me, I think.
**[10:45] Alice**
You're right... aren't you?
**[10:48] Alice**
You've been looking after her for so long.
**[10:51] Alice**
Please take care of her.
**[10:53] Alice**
I'll come back, I promise.
**[10:56] Daleth**
Do you have any other questions?
**[10:58] Daleth**
Today's a special day, so I'll
talk to you a little more.
**[11:01] Duke**
Really?
**[11:02] Duke**
Then tell me everything
you know about my curse!
**[11:05] Daleth**
What a greedy young man!
***SIGN*** First, I want to know what happened at our home during the time when he was cursed.
**[11:14] Daleth**
Very well.
**[11:14] Duke**
No hesitation!
**[11:16] Daleth**
I'll show you my memories.
**[11:20] Duke**
This is our home?
***SIGN*** She used magic to create an illusion?
**[11:25] Daleth**
What you see before you is your old home,
**[11:27] Daleth**
as it was just a short
time before you were cursed.
**[11:31] Daleth**
Who called me a tour guide?
I'll kill you for saying that.
**[11:33] Duke**
Nobody said a word.
***SIGN*** You're too slow, little brother.
**[11:39] Duke**
Wait, big brother!
***SIGN*** Wait, I'm the little brother?
**[11:42] Alice**
You make such a cute second son, Your Grace.
**[11:45] Daleth**
Since this is an illusion,
I made you the eldest.
**[11:49] Walter**
* I appreciate it, but this just makes*
* everything worse, so please change it back.*
**[11:55] Duke**
Sharon! Sharon!
**[11:57] Sharon**
Oh, Your Grace!
**[12:00] Duke**
What's Alice doing today?
**[12:02] Sharon**
She's relaxing in her room.
**[12:05] Duke**
Okay!
**[12:06] Duke**
Thanks!
**[12:08] Alice**
*My mother is talking. My mother is laughing.*
**[12:20] Daleth**
And that's my sister, Sade.
**[12:25] Daleth**
The shivering girl behind her is me.
**[12:28] Duke**
*That's Sade...*
**[12:31] Duke**
*The strongest witch, the one who cursed me.*
**[12:35] Duke**
*What do those eyes see?*
**[12:38] Duke**
* After this, Sade curses me*
* and puts Sharon to sleep.*
**[12:44] Duke**
*But why?*
**[12:48] Duke**
What's wrong? Are you okay?
**[12:50] Daleth**
Yes.
**[12:51] Daleth**
It's just an illusion I made,
but I'm scared of my sister.
**[12:56] Daleth**
I guess I'm not over it after all.
***SIGN*** It's okay. Break the spell.
**[13:06] Daleth**
I'll keep giving you information.
**[13:09] Daleth**
So please don't come to the Sabbath again.
**[13:12] Duke**
Okay.
**[13:12] Daleth**
And Walter... may I come to see you soon?
***SIGN*** Sure, I guess.
**[13:19] Daleth**
Farewell.
**[13:31] Duke**
Where are we?
**[13:33] Alice**
The mansion.
**[13:35] Alice**
It seems she sent us home.
**[13:38] Duke**
I see...
**[13:40] Duke**
Anyway, we got a lot out of that.
**[13:43] Duke**
We learned that Sharon is alive.
**[13:45] Alice**
Yes.
**[13:46] Alice**
That was my mother.
**[13:48] Alice**
I remember her scent.
**[13:51] Duke**
They were cast by the same witch,
**[13:53] Duke**
so if we can break my curse,
I'm sure we can wake her up, too.
**[13:57] Duke**
That's one more goal we've got, huh?
**[14:02] Duke**
And my opinion of Daleth changed too.
**[14:05] Duke**
I used to just be scared of her.
**[14:07] Duke**
But now I think that maybe we can trust her.
**[14:10] Alice**
I agree.
**[14:12] Duke**
Do you think we can be friends?
**[14:17] Duke**
Ever since I met Cuff and Zain,
I've been thinking...
**[14:20] Duke**
Maybe you can be friends
with witches, just like humans.
**[14:25] Duke**
All the people in the circus accepted
me without being afraid of me.
**[14:30] Duke**
So I want to make friends with lots of
witches and humans instead of being scared.
**[14:37] Duke**
Is that weird?
**[14:39] Alice**
Your Grace, it's not weird at all.
**[14:42] Alice**
I'm so glad I get to be by your side.
**[14:47] Duke**
R-Really?
**[14:49] Duke**
Hey, do you think Walter made it home okay?
***SIGN*** I'm going to ruin him and take over as heir!
***SIGN*** Feel free to admire me even more, Viola!
**[15:02] Viola**
God, you're creepy!
**[15:05] Duke**
What?
**[15:09] Duke**
Is that really where you're
supposed to put that?
**[15:11] Alice**
What do you think it is?
**[15:14] Duke**
Something else Zain brought?
**[15:17] Duke**
Some weird magic thing.
**[15:19] Alice**
Correct!
**[15:21] Duke**
Is this one of those things where
the genie comes out if you rub it?
**[15:25] Alice**
Perhaps.
**[15:27] Alice**
Rub it. Hard.
**[15:30] Duke**
Why are you saying that in my ear?
**[15:33] Duke**
Maybe it'll grant us three wishes.
**[15:36] Duke**
Come forth, genie of the lamp!
**[15:45] Genie**
You called, human?
**[15:49] Alice**
Alice, did you get a part-time job?
**[15:51] Genie**
No. I have no form of my own.
**[15:54] Genie**
So I've taken hers. That's all.
**[15:57] Alice**
His Grace does love ethnic outfits.
**[16:00] Duke**
S-Stop it...
**[16:04] Genie**
What's with these two?
**[16:05] Genie**
Well, whatever.
**[16:07] Genie**
Give me your three wishes,
I guess, and I'll grant them.
**[16:12] Duke**
I like it! It feels like
Alice is talking down to me!
**[16:16] Duke**
*You can grant any wish?*
**[16:18] Genie**
You said the wrong part of that out loud.
**[16:21] Duke**
If you can grant any wish,
then break my curse.
**[16:25] Genie**
Okay. I'll do it.
**[16:26] Duke**
You will?
**[16:27] Genie**
Nanja-hoi-honjaran-monja-monja-monja...
**[16:32] Duke**
That's a really weird chant!
**[16:34] Genie**
Done.
**[16:35] Genie**
Your curse is gone.
**[16:37] Duke**
Just with that weird spell?
**[16:39] Duke**
Really?
**[16:40] Duke**
I can't really believe it...
**[16:43] Genie**
I'll prove it. Your second wish.
**[16:52] Alice**
Oh my.
**[16:53] Duke**
It's not wilting...
**[16:55] Duke**
Then I can touch Alice, too?
**[16:59] Duke**
I s-still can't believe you, though!
**[17:01] Duke**
It's this really powerful curse!
**[17:03] Duke**
It's not easy to break...
**[17:05] Genie**
It was powerful, yes.
**[17:07] Genie**
It was hard to break it entirely...
so I moved it to someone else.
**[17:13] Genie**
I forced somebody else somewhere
out there to bear your curse.
**[17:18] Genie**
It was the only way.
**[17:20] Duke**
Wait!
**[17:21] Duke**
Then that person's going
to suffer from that curse?
**[17:26] Duke**
Not being able to touch anyone or be touched...
**[17:29] Genie**
Yes. But that's not your problem.
**[17:32] Genie**
What do you care?
**[17:34] Genie**
Now state your third wish.
**[17:55] Alice**
You're sure, Your Grace?
**[17:57] Duke**
It's okay.
**[17:58] Duke**
I don't want to be happy if it
means making someone else suffer.
**[18:02] Duke**
I'm sure I'd regret it.
**[18:03] Duke**
I never expected anything
from it, so it's okay.
**[18:06] Duke**
I got to see you in a cute ethnic outfit.
**[18:09] Alice**
The way you think is wonderful, Your Grace.
**[18:12] Duke**
Thanks. Too close.
**[18:14] Rob**
Hmm? I was going to do some trimming,
but this area's all wilted.
**[18:19] Rob**
Perhaps I've awakened to
some kind of special power?
**[18:23] Rob**
I'll do it again.
**[18:27] Rob**
Like this? Like this? Or this?
**[18:29] Rob**
How about this? Or this?
**[18:31] Rob**
Maybe this? Or this?
**[18:37] (Flashback) Jessie**
Aw, so Cuff and Zain are gonna date?
**[18:41] (Flashback) Jessie**
Hey, did you kiss already?
**[18:42] (Flashback) Cuff**
Well, you see...
**[18:44] (Flashback) Cuff**
Well... um...
**[18:47] (Flashback) Jessie**
Aw, they did kiss!
**[19:15] Duke**
What are you putting on your lips?
**[19:18] Alice**
Lip balm, to keep my lips moist.
**[19:21] Alice**
Now I'm ready for you to
kiss me whenever you want.
**[19:26] Duke**
You know I can't do that!
**[19:27] Alice**
You want some, too?
**[19:30] Duke**
N-No thanks. It'd be an indirect kiss.
**[19:34] Alice**
Of course, you can have a new one.
**[19:36] Duke**
I'm so embarrassed I could die!
**[19:40] Alice**
You can use mine too, if you like.
**[19:43] Duke**
Don't be so mean...
**[19:51] Alice**
You don't need to see me to the door.
**[19:53] Alice**
You'll catch a cold.
**[19:55] Duke**
It's just something I want to do.
**[19:57] Duke**
Don't worry about it.
**[19:58] Duke**
I'm bad with goodbyes...
**[20:01] Duke**
I know I'll see you tomorrow,
but it still makes me sad.
**[20:05] Alice**
Then think about me as you do it tonight.
**[20:11] Alice**
Writing your poems, I mean.
**[20:14] Duke**
Well, goodnight, Alice!
**[20:16] Duke**
Don't you catch a cold either.
**[20:19] Alice**
Okay.
**[20:19] Alice**
Goodnight, Your Grace.
**[20:28] (Flashback) Duke**
So I want to make friends...
**[20:32] (Flashback) Duke**
I don't want to be happy if it
means making someone else suffer.
**[20:47] Duke**
Alice, did you forget something?
**[21:51] Duke**
* My heart was racing so fast... I didn't*
* even notice the coldness of the glass.*

**[00:35] Viola**
It's kinda cold in here.
**[00:37] Viola**
I wish your room was warmer, Alice.
**[00:41] Alice**
I'm sorry.
**[00:42] Cuff**
F... C... D... D... D!
**[00:48] Viola**
Cut that out!
**[00:50] Viola**
What are you doing?
**[00:52] Cuff**
I was trying to read a book.
**[00:55] Cuff**
But I'm getting stuck
with the letters past F.
**[00:59] Viola**
You can read up to F, huh?
**[01:01] Cuff**
Rob taught me!
**[01:03] Viola**
What? How naughty! I'm jealous!
**[01:06] Viola**
Wait, Rob was nice enough to teach you,
**[01:09] Viola**
and you can't read past F?
**[01:11] Cuff**
Yes.
**[01:12] Cuff**
I forgot most of it.
**[01:14] Viola**
Dummy!
**[01:16] Viola**
You forget because you don't practice!
**[01:18] Viola**
I'll give you some practice problems.
**[01:21] Viola**
Okay, what letters go here?
**[01:24] Cuff**
You're a good artist, Viola.
**[01:27] Alice**
That's very good.
**[01:29] Viola**
That doesn't matter right now!
**[01:33] Viola**
No!
**[01:34] Viola**
Don't just make things up because
you don't know the answer!
**[01:37] Cuff**
Don't worry. I'll get it right next time.
**[01:40] Viola**
Where is that confidence coming from?
**[01:43] Viola**
Okay, you know up to F.
**[01:46] Viola**
Remember what comes next!
**[01:48] Cuff**
After F?
**[01:51] Cuff**
*That's tough...*
**[01:52] Cuff**
*I'm sure Zain could get it easily.*
**[01:57] Cuff**
I know the answer! It's G!
**[01:59] Viola**
That's right.
**[02:00] Viola**
How did you know?
**[02:01] Cuff**
Zain once told me I'm a G cup,
which is bigger than F!
**[02:06] Cuff**
That's how I remembered!
**[02:08] Voila**
A G cup...
**[02:12] Cuff**
A, B, C, D, E, F, G!
**[02:16] Cuff**
A, B, C, D, E, F, G!
**[02:19] Viola**
Cut it out!
***SIGN*** Episode 21
The Duke, Alice, and the Second Anniversary
***SIGN*** Hey. You really came!
**[04:16] Daleth**
I happened to be passing by...
**[04:18] Daleth**
Is this any trouble?
***SIGN*** Not at all.
***SIGN*** I'm happy to have you here.
***SIGN*** Let's go inside and get out of the rain.
**[04:31] Daleth**
But...
***SIGN*** I can't send a lady away like this.
***SIGN*** Come on.
**[04:41] Daleth**
I haven't been inside here in a long time.
**[04:44] Daleth**
It hasn't changed much.
***SIGN*** That's right. You said you used to come here a lot.
**[04:49] Daleth**
Yes.
**[04:51] Daleth**
There were a lot of visitors
here then. We didn't really stand out.
**[04:56] Daleth**
But now it's very quiet.
***SIGN*** My dad's been in the hospital a long time.
***SIGN*** And my mom is a very quiet person.
***SIGN*** We only socialize to the bare minimum extent expected of nobles.
**[05:07] Daleth**
I see.
**[05:09] Daleth**
Gerbera went back to who she was before, then.
***SIGN*** You know my mother?
**[05:16] Daleth**
I saw her a lot.
**[05:20] Daleth**
I don't think she knows me.
**[05:24] Daleth**
She would've been 18...
**[05:27] Daleth**
She'd just graduated school when
she married into this household.
**[05:32] Daleth**
Her parents were very strict, and she
was a very stern woman herself.
**[05:38] Daleth**
But that changed when Sharon came...
**[05:41] Daleth**
She smiled a lot. She talked a lot.
**[05:44] Daleth**
She looked like she was having so much fun.
***SIGN*** It's hard to imagine my mother like that...
**[05:50] Daleth**
She was a bit harsh to her children.
**[05:53] Daleth**
She wanted them to grow up
to be proper nobles, I think.
**[05:58] Daleth**
But what happened to Sharon must've
come as a huge shock to her.
**[06:04] Daleth**
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
***SIGN*** It's fine.
***SIGN*** Thanks for telling me.
***SIGN*** The tea's gone cold.
***SIGN*** Wait. I'll go have them make some more.
**[06:19] Daleth**
It's okay. I'll be leaving soon.
***SIGN*** It's fine.
***SIGN*** I'm back. The maids will...
***SIGN*** Huh?
***SIGN*** "See you later."
***SIGN*** Her handwriting is so pretty.
**[06:53] Alice**
So you know, then...
**[06:57] Alice**
About the two women in white habits
who would come to the mansion.
**[07:03] Alice**
Someone told me.
**[07:05] Alice**
The "one-eyed man" is you, right?
**[07:09] Rob**
*"The one-eyed man?"*
**[07:10] Rob**
*I've got a cool nickname?*
**[07:12] Rob**
Oh my.
**[07:14] Rob**
I kept it a secret. I'm sorry.
**[07:17] Alice**
For my sake, yes?
**[07:21] Alice**
If I'd known the two of them killed my mother,
it would've been a great shock to me.
**[07:27] Alice**
So you said she died in an accident,
**[07:29] Alice**
and you knew nothing about
two women in nun's habits.
**[07:33] Rob**
You're right.
**[07:36] Alice**
Tell me everything you know about them.
**[07:40] Alice**
It might have something to
do with His Grace's curse.
**[07:47] Rob**
It happened back when this mansion
was still where we all lived.
**[07:55] Rob**
The master was a man of deep faith,
**[07:58] Rob**
so I never really questioned it.
**[08:02] Alice**
The master?
**[08:03] Rob**
His Grace's grandfather.
**[08:06] Rob**
The one who hired me as a servant.
**[08:10] Rob**
He was quite close to
Sharon. You don't remember?
**[08:14] Alice**
I'm sorry. I remember little
of my youth except His Grace.
**[08:20] Alice**
What was the relationship
between the two of them?
**[08:24] Rob**
Nothing scandalous.
**[08:26] Rob**
They were close, that's all.
**[08:30] Rob**
They were master and servant, and friends...
**[08:33] Rob**
Like parent and child,
or teacher and student...
**[08:38] Rob**
I loved to see them.
**[08:42] Rob**
So when I saw how much you and
His Grace care for each other...
**[08:48] Rob**
It felt like fate.
**[08:57] Rob**
What was I talking about, again?
**[08:59] Alice**
The two nuns.
**[09:02] Rob**
Ah, yes.
**[09:04] Rob**
I stopped seeing them after the master died.
**[09:09] Rob**
When I last saw them, they were
taking Sharon away with them.
**[09:13] Rob**
The Duke had just been cursed,
and everything was falling apart.
**[09:17] Rob**
I didn't have time to think about them.
**[09:21] Rob**
That's all I know.
**[09:24] Alice**
Thank you.
**[09:27] Alice**
I'll tell His Grace, too.
**[09:30] Alice**
Hearing the piano has
made me want to see him.
**[09:35] Rob**
Even though you're together all the time?
**[09:37] Alice**
Yes.
**[09:39] Alice**
You should come inside too, Rob.
**[09:41] Alice**
You'll catch cold.
**[09:43] Rob**
No, I'm fine.
**[09:47] Rob**
I want to watch the rain.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Grandfather**
If you've nowhere to go,
**[10:08] (Flashback) Grandfather**
come to the mansion in the northern forest.
**[10:37] Zain**
It sure is pouring today.
**[10:39] Daleth**
Is the circus closed today?
**[10:41] Zain**
Oh, yeah.
**[10:42] Zain**
Our next performance is...
**[10:44] Zain**
You're Daleth, right?
**[10:46] Daleth**
Yes. Why?
**[10:47] Zain**
You made such a big deal about not
letting anybody see your face.
**[10:51] Zain**
Is that over with?
**[10:52] Daleth**
Yes. I'm going to be like this from now on.
**[10:56] Daleth**
How many times do I have to repeat myself?
**[10:57] Zain**
It's my first time hearing it, though.
**[10:59] Zain**
You're as pretty as they said, though!
**[11:01] Zain**
You might actually be my type!
**[11:06] Zain**
Crap! Cuff's not here today!
**[11:10] Zain**
It doesn't feel right
without her yelling at me.
**[11:12] Zain**
So? What do you want?
**[11:15] Zain**
You didn't just come to say hi, right?
**[11:18] Duke**
I came to a realization.
**[11:20] Duke**
From now on, let's be friends, not enemies.
**[11:24] Duke**
I realized that helping you might
mean helping myself as well.
**[11:31] Zain**
Yeah, I don't think I believe that.
**[11:33] Daleth**
Well, you should.
**[11:35] Daleth**
I've already worked things out with the boy.
**[11:38] Daleth**
Talk to him if you don't believe me.
**[11:40] Zain**
Fine.
**[11:41] Zain**
You're mean, and you hide too many things.
**[11:44] Zain**
But you don't lie.
**[11:46] Zain**
So, what do you want me to do?
**[11:48] Daleth**
For today, I'll just give you a hint.
**[11:50] Daleth**
First, learn about my older sister, Sade.
**[11:54] Zain**
Huh?
**[11:55] Zain**
If she's your sister, why don't you tell me?
**[11:58] Zain**
That won't help at all...
**[12:01] Daleth**
Did you forget?
**[12:10] Zain**
You knew?
**[12:11] Daleth**
Of course I did.
**[12:13] Daleth**
Say hello to Cuff for me.
**[12:16] Daleth**
Tell her I'll forgive her for hitting me.
**[12:18] Zain**
O-Okay.
**[12:20] Zain**
Sade, huh?
**[12:22] Zain**
I'll have to talk to Cuff when she gets back.
**[12:26] Duke**
You don't think it's creepy?
**[12:29] Duke**
Making a cake...
**[12:31] Cuff**
Seems fine to me! She'll like it!
**[12:34] Duke**
Y-You think?
**[12:35] Duke**
Thanks for coming, by the way!
**[12:38] Cuff**
Nah, you said it's Alice's 2nd birthday!
**[12:41] Cuff**
Of course I'm coming!
**[12:43] Duke**
Oh, sorry. That's not quite right.
**[12:46] Duke**
It's not her second birthday...
**[12:48] Cuff**
I'll do a dance for her!
**[12:51] Duke**
*Is she going to do that till I stop her?*
**[12:54] Cuff**
Two years old! Two years old! Two years old!
**[12:55] Duke**
Really?
***SIGN*** Somewhere, someone's saying "two" over and over again!
**[13:06] Duke**
I've just told her to come
to this room at midnight.
**[13:11] Duke**
I haven't told her about
the celebration, or that you're here.
**[13:14] Duke**
I hope it's a good surprise!
**[13:17] Cuff**
Yeah.
**[13:17] Cuff**
But it's a special day, right?
**[13:20] Cuff**
Shouldn't I go home right now?
**[13:23] Duke**
Don't worry.
**[13:25] Duke**
I'm the one who invited you.
**[13:26] Cuff**
Then I'll stay!
**[13:27] Cuff**
I hope your surprise is a success!
**[13:30] Duke**
Don't be so loud!
**[13:37] Alice**
Excuse me.
**[13:38] Duke**
Th-That's her!
**[13:41] Alice**
It's so dark.
**[13:42] Alice**
Your Grace... and Cuff?
**[13:45] Duke**
A-Alice?
**[13:46] Duke**
It's been two years since you
came to the mansion, right?
**[13:50] Duke**
So...
**[13:51] Alice**
What a wonderful cake!
**[13:53] Alice**
Did you make this?
**[13:56] Duke**
Yes!
**[13:57] Alice**
Thank you.
**[13:59] Alice**
So that's why you were locked
in the kitchen this morning.
**[14:03] Duke**
I make no promises as to the taste.
**[14:06] Alice**
It's so special, I don't think I can eat it.
**[14:10] Duke**
Alice... thanks for everything
you've done these past two years.
**[14:13] Duke**
I hope you'll stay with me.
**[14:15] Alice**
Your Grace...
**[14:20] Alice**
It would make me so happy if
I could be here forever and ever...
**[14:32] Cuff**
I got you a present.
**[14:35] Cuff**
Viola and I chose you an outfit.
**[14:37] Alice**
Oh my. Thank you.
**[14:40] Cuff**
Try it on right now.
**[14:41] Duke**
Right now?
**[14:42] Duke**
N-No, I'm standing here!
**[14:44] Duke**
You can't change!
**[14:45] Alice**
I don't mind.
**[14:47] Duke**
I do!
**[14:48] Cuff**
Oh, that's a shame.
**[14:50] Duke**
Go on, Alice. Blow on it.
**[14:53] Alice**
Blow!
**[14:54] Duke**
Not me! The cake!
**[14:57] Alice**
Oh my. My mistake.
**[14:59] Duke**
She's not even trying to hide
that it wasn't a mistake!
**[15:05] Alice**
Are you okay, Your Grace?
**[15:08] Duke**
I didn't realize this would happen.
**[15:11] Duke**
Both of you, don't move
until your eyes adjust.
**[15:15] Duke**
You don't want to touch me.
**[15:16] Cuff**
Got it.
**[15:17] Alice**
Understood.
**[15:20] Duke**
What's this sound?
**[15:23] Alice**
With this little light,
it feels safe to change.
**[15:27] Alice**
I'm taking my clothes off now.
**[15:31] Duke**
I can't see, but I can hear.
**[15:34] Alice**
Cuff, the lights.
**[15:36] Duke**
Sure.
**[15:45] Alice**
It's so fluffy.
**[15:47] Duke**
*She's so cute! So cute! So cute!*
**[15:50] Cuff**
You're so cute, Alice!
**[15:52] Alice**
Thank you.
**[16:17] Duke**
That surprised me...
**[16:19] Duke**
I didn't think I'd find a hole in
the roof when I walked you home.
**[16:22] Alice**
The boards in the roof must've been rotten.
**[16:24] Alice**
I'm glad the rain stopped.
**[16:27] Duke**
And today's a special day, too!
**[16:29] Duke**
From now on, sleep in the mansion.
**[16:32] Alice**
I'll make sure not to interrupt your sleep.
**[16:35] Duke**
Why are you acting like
we'd sleep in the same bed?
**[16:37] Keto**
By the way, you two seen Daleth?
**[16:39] Duke**
No, why?
**[16:41] Duke**
Y-You're one of Daleth's girls...
the trendy girl!
**[16:46] Keto**
I'm Keto! I command plants!
**[16:49] Keto**
I've decided to forget the fact
that you made all my plants wilt!
**[16:53] Keto**
We trendy girls don't sweat the small stuff.
**[16:55] Duke**
G-Great.
**[16:58] Keto**
What happened with your roof, by the way?
**[17:00] Alice**
I was about to go to bed when it fell in...
**[17:04] Keto**
I think I can fix that.
**[17:06] Keto**
Leave it to me!
**[17:08] Duke**
A tree?
**[17:09] Keto**
This should make good wood.
**[17:11] Duke**
Wait, what are you doing?
**[17:13] Keto**
I'm gonna DIY her up a new house!
**[17:17] Alice**
Oh my.
**[17:17] Keto**
Why would you do that?
**[17:18] Keto**
Especially at this hour!
**[17:19] Keto**
Stop asking questions! Get out of here!
**[17:25] Duke**
Trendy girls are scary!
**[17:26] Alice**
There, there.
**[17:28] Keto**
I'll fix it tonight.
**[17:30] Keto**
Go sleep somewhere else.
**[17:35] Duke**
Maybe she's a good person.
**[17:37] Duke**
Yeah, she is.
**[17:39] Duke**
But...
**[17:41] Alice**
Your Grace, may I take the left side?
**[17:43] Duke**
I'm not sleeping in the same bed as you!
**[17:45] Alice**
But...
**[17:46] Duke**
You take the bed.
**[17:48] Duke**
I'll sleep on the floor.
**[17:49] Duke**
And nowhere else!
**[17:51] Alice**
It's been a while since
you've thrown a tantrum.
**[17:54] Alice**
It's rather cute.
**[17:59] Duke**
*The floor's hard.*
**[18:02] Duke**
*I can't sleep...*
**[18:09] Duke**
*That's the rose I gave her, right?*
**[18:14] Duke**
*She brought it with her?*
**[18:17] Duke**
*Like it's really important or something.*
**[18:27] Duke**
*I do love her.*
**[18:32] Duke**
I brought you something to drink, Keto!
**[18:35] Duke**
Want to take a break?
**[18:36] Keto**
I just got started.
**[18:48] Duke**
Are you okay?
**[18:49] Keto**
I broke a nail!
**[18:50] Duke**
I-Is that all?
**[18:52] Keto**
You got any long acrylic nails?
**[18:54] Duke**
Sorry, I don't know what that is!
**[18:56] Keto**
Aw, now I don't want to do anything.
**[19:02] Keto**
Well, Teto will make me
feel better later, I guess.
**[19:05] Duke**
I wish I could copy that trendy girl mind.
**[19:11] Keto**
Daleth's doing all she can to hold
the place together after Sade left.
**[19:16] Keto**
Even though she's hardly
cut out to be a boss.
**[19:19] Keto**
I want her to live the life she chooses...
**[19:22] Keto**
But she's taken a bit too much of a
liking to a human man, your brother,
**[19:26] Keto**
and I don't know how I feel about that.
**[19:30] Duke**
Do all witches hate humans?
**[19:34] Keto**
Well, a lot of our friends
died in the old witch hunts.
**[19:39] Keto**
But...
**[19:40] Keto**
History does change.
**[19:42] Keto**
And maybe now's the time.
**[19:45] Keto**
We're willing to be friends with humans,
if that's what Daleth wants.
**[19:57] Keto**
Well?
**[19:58] Keto**
I brought in all new furniture, too!
**[20:00] Alice**
Wow. Thank you.
**[20:02] Duke**
It's barely recognizable.
**[20:03] Keto**
You can have great parties
with your girlfriends here.
**[20:06] Keto**
If you do, I want you to call Daleth,
and me, and my girlfriend, Teto!
**[20:10] Keto**
Is that okay?
**[20:12] Alice**
Yes, of course!
**[20:13] Keto**
Hooray!
**[20:18] Keto**
I'll start over.
**[20:19] Duke**
Yeah, thanks.
**[20:22] Cuff**
What a great meal!
**[20:24] Cuff**
So, what do we eat next?
**[20:26] Zain**
Why don't you go on one of
those eating competition shows?
**[20:30] Thief**
Hey, is that you, Hugo?
**[20:34] Zain**
Who are those guys?
**[20:36] Hugo**
My old buddies.
**[20:38] Hugo**
Let's go.
**[20:39] Thief**
So it's true, then?
**[20:41] Thief**
You joined a weird circus and
now you hang out with weirdos!
**[20:46] Zain**
Oh no, Cuff! They called you a weirdo.
**[20:50] Cuff**
They called you one too, Zain.
**[20:51] Thief**
You said all that stuff when
you quit pickpocketing,
**[20:53] Thief**
but you just ended up in a weird
circus where you play around all day!
**[20:56] Thief**
That's perfect for you, Hugo!
**[20:59] Hugo**
What?
**[21:00] Hugo**
Wait!
**[21:03] Cuff**
Why did you stop me?
**[21:04] Cuff**
They were insulting the circus!
**[21:07] Zain**
This is Hugo's fight.
**[21:09] Zain**
Let him finish it.
**[21:12] Hugo**
Where did they go?
**[21:23] Nico**
Oh, I just scared them a little.
**[21:26] Nico**
They tried to steal my bag.
**[21:29] Nico**
Don't call the police, please.
**[21:32] Thief**
Damn it! Let's go!
**[21:34] Thief**
Move, Hugo! Or I'll kill you!
**[21:37] Hugo**
Say what you want about me, but don't
you dare insult the circus again!
**[21:43] Thief**
Forget you!
**[21:48] Hugo**
*Who were those guys?*
**[21:52] Hugo**
*It's hasn't been raining...*
**[21:55] Hugo**
*I guess I should tell Zain and Cuff.*

**[00:32] Zain**
I love boobs. All types of boobs.
**[00:36] Zain**
But what is it about thighs you like?
**[00:41] Duke**
What's it to you?
**[00:42] Duke**
And it's rude to women to
discuss things like that.
**[00:45] Duke**
B-But if you insist...
**[00:48] Duke**
If the world ever ends, I want to meet
my death with my head on Alice's thighs.
**[00:54] Duke**
Obviously this assumes the curse is broken.
**[00:56] Zain**
What's your favorite part of a girl, Rob?
**[00:58] Rob**
Well...
**[01:00] Rob**
I love their smiles.
**[01:03] Zain**
That's not fair.
**[01:05] Duke**
That's not fair at all, Rob!
***SIGN*** Episode 22
The Duke, Alice, and the Flying Broom
**[02:42] Duke**
It's easy to see the pictures
when the book's this big!
**[02:50] Duke**
There's nobody around, so it's okay, right?
**[02:55] Duke**
A witch?
**[02:56] Duke**
Wait, no, Alice!
**[02:58] Duke**
Why are you coming in through the window?
**[02:59] Duke**
This is the third floor!
**[03:00] Alice**
Your Grace, were you looking
at something naughty?
**[03:04] Duke**
I d-don't know what you're talking about.
**[03:05] Alice**
I could see what you were up to, Your Grace.
**[03:08] Alice**
I'm sorry to startle you.
**[03:11] Duke**
Everything you do makes my heart race.
**[03:15] Alice**
I wanted to see your cute face...
**[03:19] Duke**
So how'd you get in from
the 3rd floor window?
**[03:22] Alice**
Ta-dah!
**[03:23] Alice**
I used a flying broom.
**[03:25] Duke**
It just looks like a normal broom to me.
**[03:29] Alice**
Keto gave it to me.
**[03:32] Alice**
Watch.
**[03:35] Duke**
It floats!
**[03:36] Alice**
There's a trick to it, but once you
get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun.
**[03:41] Duke**
That's great.
**[03:42] Duke**
I want to try it, too.
**[03:44] Alice**
Go ahead.
**[03:45] Duke**
You want me to ride with you?
**[03:51] Duke**
It's floating!
**[03:52] Alice**
Let's go out to the hallway.
**[04:03] Duke**
*Alice's hair smells so good.*
**[04:08] Duke**
Hey, Rob.
**[04:10] Rob**
A broom for two! How romantic!
**[04:12] Duke**
For real?
**[04:13] Rob**
They're flying?
**[04:15] Duke**
Took you long enough!
**[04:17] Rob**
Take care!
**[04:20] Duke**
A broom for two!
**[04:21] Duke**
That sounds so nice.
**[04:23] Alice**
I'm turning right.
**[04:26] Alice**
I'm accelerating.
**[04:29] Duke**
Magic is incredible!
**[04:31] Alice**
Yes.
**[04:32] Alice**
It's a lot of fun if you can use it.
**[04:34] Daleth**
*My sister was a magical genius.*
**[04:39] Duke**
*But Sade died.*
**[04:41] Duke**
*And even Daleth doesn't know why.*
**[04:44] Duke**
*If she was alive, she might've broken my curse.*
**[04:48] Duke**
*We might've been able to talk.*
**[04:49] Duke**
*But did she curse Sharon and me?*
**[04:53] Alice**
Is something wrong, Your Grace?
**[04:56] Duke**
O-Oh, you saw me looking at that
naughty picture. I'm just kind of embarrassed.
**[05:01] Alice**
Oh, is that all?
**[05:03] Alice**
If you like, I'll show you something
naughty any time you want.
**[05:08] Alice**
Oh, my.
**[05:11] Duke**
The two of you don't come
together that often.
**[05:14] Duke**
You've got a lot of stuff with you, too.
**[05:16] Duke**
Did you get fired from the circus?
**[05:18] Cuff**
Nope. Ringmaster's orders.
**[05:21] Zain**
Let us live here for a while.
**[05:24] Zain**
Some weirdos came to the
circus looking for me.
**[05:29] Cuff**
A kid and an old lady, supposedly.
**[05:32] Cuff**
Hugo says they beat up a bunch of
the town brats almost instantly.
**[05:37] Duke**
Who are they?
**[05:39] Zain**
I don't know.
**[05:40] Zain**
Somebody who wants me to use
my time magic, I assume.
**[05:44] Zain**
Given what Daleth's been up to,
they're probably not witches.
**[05:48] Zain**
Anyway, I got some time off.
**[05:51] Zain**
So let me enjoy it, please.
**[05:53] Cuff**
Is it a bother?
**[05:55] Duke**
Not at all.
**[05:56] Duke**
We're glad to have you!
**[05:57] Zain**
Yay!
**[05:58] Zain**
I get to sleep over with Alice!
**[06:00] Zain**
How exciting!
**[06:03] Cuff**
We can have a pillow fight tonight!
**[06:05] Duke**
It looked like you just did.
**[06:08] Cuff**
The person who has the most fun wins!
**[06:10] Duke**
Then you win already!
**[06:12] Zain**
Let's do strip rock-paper-scissors
or the King's Game!
**[06:14] Cuff**
Is your mind made of steel?
**[06:16] Rob**
Oh, a pillow fight sounds fun!
**[06:18] Zain**
Rob, think about your back!
**[06:21] Alice**
It'll be fun to have them around.
**[06:23] Duke**
Right, Alice?
**[06:24] Duke**
I was just thinking the same thing!
**[06:26] Zain**
Pervert noble.
**[06:27] Duke**
Since you're guests, you can relax.
**[06:32] Cuff**
No way!
**[06:33] Cuff**
You're letting us stay here, so we'll work!
**[06:36] Zain**
She's such a good girl!
**[06:39] Cuff**
Let's go, Alice!
**[06:40] Cuff**
I can do anything but cleaning,
cooking, and washing!
**[06:42] Alice**
All right.
**[06:44] Alice**
I have a maid outfit that might suit you.
**[06:47] Alice**
Will you try it on?
**[06:48] Cuff**
Please!
**[06:49] Zain**
Me too, then!
**[06:51] Duke**
Don't try to get between them!
**[06:54] Duke**
They have a lot of stuff to talk about.
**[06:56] Duke**
Like what happened at the Sabbath and Daleth.
**[06:59] Zain**
How far have you gone with Alice?
**[07:01] Duke**
I said talk about the Sabbath!
**[07:04] Alice**
What do you think?
**[07:05] Cuff**
This is strong! I'm invincible now!
**[07:09] Alice**
You're so cute!
**[07:12] Cuff**
Okay, time to get to work!
**[07:14] Cuff**
I'll start by warming up the mansion!
**[07:17] Cuff**
Here I go!
**[07:22] Ichi**
Looks like this is the spot.
**[07:24] Nico**
Yeah.
**[07:24] Nico**
There's a witch here.
**[07:26] Zain**
Okay, you can have this back.
**[07:29] Duke**
The logbook from the family home...
**[07:30] Duke**
Thank you.
**[07:31] Duke**
You really were able to bring it back.
**[07:33] Duke**
Your magic's incredible.
**[07:34] Zain**
I kept my promise, okay?
**[07:36] Zain**
* Even though I forgot about*
* it till Daleth reminded me.*
**[07:39] Duke**
There's something Daleth
wanted to hide in here.
**[07:43] Zain**
Yeah, something about Sade.
**[07:46] Duke**
I hope it's a hint to breaking
Sharon's and my curse...
**[07:50] Zain**
So Alice's mom is asleep, right? But is she hot?
**[07:55] Duke**
Not telling.
**[07:56] Zain**
Why?
**[07:57] Zain**
I like older women, too.
**[08:00] Duke**
And that's why!
**[08:02] Duke**
Here it is.
**[08:03] Zain**
What does it say?
**[08:04] Zain**
The Master got a visit from
the nuns, Sade and Daleth.
**[08:07] Zain**
This hasn't happened for a while.
**[08:10] Zain**
Huh. Is this all?
**[08:11] Duke**
Cuff can't read, but you can, huh?
**[08:14] Zain**
I guess.
**[08:16] Nico**
You're pretty smart for a witch.
**[08:18] Duke**
No, it wasn't me who said that!
**[08:20] Nico**
Up here.
**[08:22] Nico**
Hello. You're Death Incarnate, then?
**[08:28] Ichi**
Sorry to interrupt your cleaning.
**[08:32] Ichi**
But it's easier to wipe
down if it's wet, right?
**[08:35] Cuff**
Who are you?
**[08:40] Nico**
So the time witch is with you, too?
**[08:43] Nico**
We were right to try the circus.
**[08:46] Nico**
It worked out just like I thought.
**[08:47] Zain**
What?
**[08:48] Nico**
Time to start by...
**[08:50] Duke**
No! If you touch me, you'll die!
**[08:55] Nico**
I guess even Death Incarnate can't do it.
**[08:57] Duke**
Wh-Why? I know you touched me...
**[09:00] Zain**
I can feel magic from him...
**[09:05] Cuff**
But you're no witch!
**[09:09] Cuff**
Make sure you don't slip, old lady.
**[09:12] Alice**
*Even at a time like this, she's kind.*
**[09:15] Cuff**
Who are you?
**[09:17] Cuff**
Why are you here?
**[09:18] Ichi**
You never shut up, do you?
**[09:25] Cuff**
I can't... move.
**[09:29] Zain**
They must be wizards, then.
**[09:31] Duke**
Wizards?
**[09:33] Zain**
Yeah. Humans born with magic.
**[09:37] Zain**
This kid's probably...
**[09:39] Nico**
Kid? I'm older than you.
**[09:47] Zain**
Are you okay, thigh noble?
**[09:49] Duke**
Don't call me that!
**[09:55] Ichi**
You do stink. Like a witch.
**[10:00] Ichi**
Listen well.
**[10:01] Ichi**
My name is Ichi.
**[10:03] Duke**
Do something, Zain!
**[10:06] Zain**
I can't do anything!
**[10:12] Nico**
Sorry for getting rough.
**[10:14] Nico**
My name is Nico.
**[10:16] Nico**
I'm a wizard. A human born
with magic, like you said.
**[10:20] Zain**
And what do you want?
**[10:22] Nico**
Don't be so cross.
**[10:24] Nico**
I want your help with something.
**[10:28] Zain**
Help? No way!
**[10:31] Zain**
I can't trust someone who just
barges in and attacks us!
**[10:33] Duke**
Wait!
**[10:35] Duke**
Let's talk to him.
**[10:36] Duke**
He survived touching me.
**[10:42] Nico**
I'm glad you understand.
**[10:49] Duke**
You say you have an immortality curse?
**[10:52] Nico**
Yeah. I proved it, right?
**[10:55] Nico**
I heard you kill anything
you touch, so I tried it.
**[10:59] Nico**
But I guess my curse is stronger.
**[11:02] Duke**
Did Sade curse you, too?
**[11:04] Nico**
Yeah.
**[11:05] Nico**
But I can't break it...
**[11:07] Nico**
Even though I killed her!
**[11:09] Duke**
You killed Sade?
**[11:10] Zain**
Haha! Look at this loser brag!
**[11:12] Zain**
"My curse is stronger!" "I killed Sade!"
**[11:16] Nico**
I'm telling the truth!
**[11:17] Nico**
Respect your elders.
**[11:20] Cuff**
You're too close.
**[11:22] Cuff**
I don't care if you're a wizard or what.
**[11:24] Cuff**
I'll protect Alice.
**[11:26] Cuff**
Come and get me!
**[11:29] Nico**
A long time ago,
**[11:30] Nico**
fifty or so of us wizards lived
quietly in a small village.
**[11:37] Nico**
We kept our distance from
witches and normal humans.
**[11:41] Nico**
But when I was an old man,
Sade suddenly appeared before me.
**[11:46] Nico**
She said that humanity had
no business using magic.
**[11:51] Nico**
She turned me into a child and
placed this immortality curse on me.
**[11:56] Nico**
We decided to watch her.
**[12:00] Nico**
And the more we did,
the more dangerous she looked.
**[12:04] Nico**
My friends told me how you were
cursed when you were little.
**[12:09] Nico**
Something had to be done about Sade.
**[12:15] Nico**
So we prepared as best we could,
**[12:18] Nico**
and set out to kill her.
**[12:21] Nico**
She was strong.
**[12:24] Nico**
None of our preparations helped.
**[12:26] Nico**
No matter what we did,
she seemed to know in advance.
**[12:28] Nico**
She used one powerful spell after another.
**[12:35] Nico**
In the end...
**[12:39] Nico**
We won through sheer numbers.
**[12:41] Nico**
Dozens of my comrades lost their lives,
**[12:44] Nico**
but we defeated her.
**[12:49] Nico**
Ironically, it was her
curse that kept me alive.
**[12:55] Zain**
Seriously?
**[12:56] Nico**
Yes.
**[12:57] Nico**
It was the only way to stop her.
**[13:00] Zain**
Whatever.
**[13:01] Zain**
So what do you want our help with?
**[13:04] Nico**
I want to use your time magic
to go back before I was cursed...
**[13:11] Nico**
and kill Sade again.
**[13:16] Duke**
*Kill her?*
**[13:18] Duke**
*Kill her?*
**[13:20] Duke**
*Kill her?*
**[13:22] Duke**
*Kill her?*
**[13:24] Duke**
*Kill her?*
**[13:29] Nico**
The only way to be sure to break the curse
is to kill her before it's even placed.
**[13:34] Nico**
I've gathered my comrades.
We're getting ready.
**[13:37] Nico**
How about it?
**[13:38] Zain**
It's a rather selfish plan.
**[13:40] Zain**
You can't do it without my magic, right?
**[13:43] Nico**
And that's why we came to find you.
**[13:45] Nico**
We can break his curse and mine.
**[13:48] Nico**
Two birds with one stone, right?
**[13:49] Zain**
No way.
**[13:51] Zain**
I only care about breaking my buddy's curse.
**[13:54] Zain**
I've got no reason to help you.
**[13:59] Nico**
Sade's strong.
**[14:00] Nico**
Objectively speaking, it's impossible
for you to beat her alone.
**[14:07] Nico**
I've done my research.
**[14:10] Nico**
Zain, you have talent, but you
don't know how to use it.
**[14:14] Nico**
You can't bring out your full potential.
**[14:15] Zain**
What?
**[14:16] Nico**
You know this too, right?
**[14:18] Nico**
There's a lot of waste in your magic.
**[14:21] Nico**
You just make up for it
with your immense power.
**[14:24] Nico**
And you need to focus a lot
to use your time magic, too.
**[14:29] Nico**
But if you study at our
wizardry school, you'll get better.
**[14:35] Duke**
Wizardry school?
**[14:36] Nico**
Yes.
**[14:37] Nico**
Of course, you're welcome, too.
**[14:39] Nico**
You can learn to use a
magic weapon, at least.
**[14:42] Zain**
No way!
**[14:43] Zain**
A witch can't learn magic from a human!
**[14:46] Zain**
I'm not working with you! Ever!
**[14:49] Nico**
It's a co-ed school.
**[14:52] Nico**
I brought a girl with me.
**[14:53] Nico**
Want me to introduce you?
**[14:54] Zain**
Seriously?
**[14:56] Cuff**
Why?
**[14:58] Cuff**
Why am I so weak to your magic?
**[15:00] Ichi**
You're so stupid, girl.
**[15:02] Ichi**
It's because water beats fire.
**[15:05] Cuff**
I refuse to accept this!
**[15:06] Cuff**
Once more!
**[15:07] Alice**
Cuff, you shouldn't force
yourself to fight.
**[15:10] Cuff**
I'm sorry, Alice.
**[15:11] Cuff**
I'm so weak...
**[15:13] Cuff**
I can't protect anyone like this.
**[15:17] Ichi**
I went too far. I just wanted
to test your strength.
**[15:21] Ichi**
I'm sorry for starting a fight.
**[15:25] Ichi**
Do you want to be stronger?
**[15:28] Cuff**
I do!
**[15:32] Ichi**
Come to our school,
**[15:34] Ichi**
and I'll make sure you get stronger.
**[15:35] Cuff**
School?
**[15:36] Nico**
Ichi!
**[15:38] Zain**
Huh? Where's the girl?
**[15:40] Zain**
Ooh, nice and naughty!
**[15:46] Zain**
Sorry. I was joking.
**[15:50] Nico**
I'll introduce you.
**[15:51] Nico**
This is Ichi, my lover.
**[15:58] Zain**
You tricked me!
**[16:00] Zain**
That's no girl!
**[16:02] Nico**
She's beautiful!
**[16:04] Zain**
Like hell she is!
**[16:05] Zain**
I wanted to see a girl!
**[16:08] Zain**
A girl!
**[16:09] Zain**
Girl!
**[16:10] Ichi**
Every woman is a girl at heart, fool!
**[16:13] Duke**
Are you two okay?
**[16:15] Alice**
We just got splashed with water.
**[16:17] Cuff**
It'll dry quick.
**[16:20] Zain**
Oh, damn it!
**[16:22] Zain**
You lied to me about there being a girl here!
**[16:25] Zain**
And you were mean to my Cuff, too!
**[16:28] Ichi**
I was not.
**[16:30] Cuff**
Zain, it's okay.
**[16:32] Cuff**
Listen to me.
**[16:33] Nico**
I'm not lying.
**[16:35] Nico**
There are female students at our school.
**[16:38] Zain**
And they're all old ladies, right?
**[16:40] Cuff**
Zain, just listen to me!
**[16:43] Duke**
No fighting!
**[16:45] Nico**
We'll be going.
**[16:49] Nico**
I'm sure you'll come to the wizardry school.
**[16:53] Nico**
I didn't say I was coming here.
I wonder if Flea's mad.
**[17:03] Flea**
I'm happy you chose to rely on me, Flea!
**[17:06] Flea**
Brother Nico, Sister Ichi!
**[17:08] Duke**
Another weirdo!
**[17:10] Alice**
He seems like he was in a hurry.
**[17:13] Flea**
Brother Nico, I've prepared a carriage!
**[17:16] Flea**
Get aboard!
**[17:22] Duke**
He transformed!
**[17:24] Nico**
I know how hard it is to be cursed.
**[17:26] Nico**
Let's beat Sade and break the curse.
**[17:31] Nico**
I'll see you at school.
**[17:32] Nico**
Invite a girl you like.
**[17:35] Duke**
Wait!
**[17:36] Duke**
I want to talk to you!
**[17:38] Alice**
Your Grace!
**[17:50] Nico**
What? You still want to talk?
**[17:51] Duke**
I want to ask if we really have to kill Sade!
**[17:55] Nico**
Of course.
**[17:57] Nico**
She's too dangerous.
**[17:58] Nico**
You did all this just to ask that?
**[18:01] Ichi**
Shut the door. I'm cold.
**[18:03] Duke**
If we can go back into the past with
Zain's magic, we can change things!
**[18:07] Duke**
We can talk to her first and
find out why she cursed us!
**[18:12] Nico**
I've been thinking...
**[18:14] Nico**
The last thing we'll need to kill
Sade is for you to touch her.
**[18:22] Nico**
Not that I know if her own
curse will work on her.
**[18:27] Nico**
But if nothing else, her magic didn't kill me.
**[18:31] Nico**
So it's worth trying.
**[18:32] Duke**
No!
**[18:33] Duke**
I don't want to do that!
**[18:34] Duke**
No! No!
**[18:35] Duke**
I don't want to kill anyone!
**[18:39] Duke**
Yes, her curse has caused me a lot of misery!
**[18:43] Duke**
It changed Rob's life.
**[18:46] Duke**
And I can't touch Alice!
**[18:49] Duke**
I can't dance or go on dates...
**[18:51] Nico**
Fine, fine...
**[18:52] Duke**
But it shouldn't be that
easy to just take a life!
**[18:57] Duke**
I don't want to kill her just
because she's an evil witch!
**[19:00] Duke**
I don't want to be afraid.
I want to accept her!
**[19:02] Duke**
I'm going to be
**[19:06] Duke**
friends with Sade!
**[19:10] Nico**
I forgot to give you this.
**[19:12] Nico**
It's a school brochure and your uniforms.
**[19:25] Nico**
Be friends with her, huh?
**[19:27] Nico**
What's his plan? Start with
formal introductions?
**[19:30] Nico**
Maybe be pen pals?
**[19:32] Ichi**
I don't know.
**[19:33] Ichi**
Anyway, go back to your usual form.
**[19:36] Ichi**
It's like I'm in love with a little kid,
**[19:38] Ichi**
and I don't like it.
**[19:39] Nico**
Just a little more.
**[19:47] Duke**
Huh? You're leaving?
**[19:49] Zain**
There's no need to hide anymore,
**[19:52] Zain**
and Cuff says she wants
to go to their school.
**[19:56] Zain**
We need to get ready for that.
**[19:57] Duke**
So you're going too, then.
**[19:59] Zain**
Yeah. It's supposed to be co-ed.
**[20:03] Zain**
Cuff, you seem down.
**[20:05] Zain**
Can I touch your boobs to cheer you up?
**[20:10] Zain**
Bye!
**[20:12] Cuff**
We'll be back.
**[20:16] Cuff**
I want to be stronger.
**[20:21] Cuff**
Strong enough to protect everyone.
**[21:55] Duke**
A lot more people come here lately.
**[21:57] Duke**
The two today surprised me, though.
**[22:00] Alice**
Yes.
**[22:00] Alice**
You made more friends.
**[22:02] Duke**
Friends, huh?
**[22:04] Duke**
Well, they're not bad people.
**[22:07] Duke**
I have to be glad that we're
not alone all the time.
**[22:10] Duke**
Cuff and Zain are nice enough
to come visit someone like me.
**[22:14] Alice**
That part of you must be
what everyone respects.
**[22:18] Duke**
Y-Yeah?
**[22:19] Alice**
Yes, of course. I respect you a lot, too.
**[22:22] Duke**
Aw, that's so sweet and cute.
**[22:25] Alice**
But right now, I've got you all to myself.
**[22:30] Duke**
The moon's so huge, Alice!
**[22:32] Duke**
Let's go look!
**[22:40] Duke**
Alice...
**[22:41] Duke**
* She's so sexy when she's just*
* getting out of a window.*
**[22:44] Alice**
I put my leg out deliberately.
**[22:45] Duke**
I'm sure you did!
**[22:49] Duke**
It gets chilly at night.
**[22:51] Alice**
Shall we strip and warm each other up—
**[22:53] Duke**
No! Keep your clothes on!
**[22:57] Duke**
Alice, don't worry.
**[23:00] Duke**
Everything I have is yours.
**[23:04] Alice**
*Why did I say I had him all to myself?*
**[23:07] Alice**
*I'm happy that he has more friends...*
**[23:12] Alice**
*But I want him more than ever.*
**[23:19] Rob**
Is it time for the pillow fight?
**[23:22] Rob**
I've brought two of my own pillows!
**[23:31] Rob**
I'm too late.

***SIGN*** Episode 23
The Duke, Alice, and the Wizardry School
**[02:01] Duke**
Wizardry school...
**[02:04] Duke**
I didn't know there was such a thing.
**[02:07] Alice**
Cuff and Zain said they were going.
**[02:09] Alice**
What about you?
**[02:11] Duke**
Of course, I'm going.
**[02:13] Duke**
I'll go anywhere if it'll
help break the curse.
**[02:16] Duke**
I agree with Nico's plan to go back
into the past with Zain's magic, too.
**[02:21] Duke**
But...
**[02:23] (Flashback) Nico**
...and kill Sade again.
**[02:27] Duke**
I don't want to kill Sade.
**[02:30] Duke**
I want to talk with him about that.
**[02:32] Alice**
I'll go with you.
**[02:34] Duke**
I'll be glad to have you with me.
**[02:35] Duke**
I feel bad that Rob has to stay home, though.
**[02:40] Duke**
They'll teach us about magic
and witches at the school, too.
**[02:45] Duke**
If I'm going to be friends with Sade,
I want to know about those things, too.
**[02:49] Alice**
Yes.
**[02:50] Alice**
And more than anything, I'm happy
I'll get to go to school with you.
**[02:55] Duke**
*She's so cute!*
**[03:01] Alice**
What's wrong?
**[03:03] Duke**
It's got something about Sade.
**[03:06] Alice**
That's my mother's handwriting.
**[03:08] Duke**
Sharon wrote this?
**[03:09] Alice**
"Whassup!"
**[03:10] Alice**
"It's me, Sharon, and I'm on
journal duty for the day!"
**[03:13] Sharon**
* Sade came to the mansion today,*
* so we talked for a little!*
**[03:17] Sharon**
* She's a nun, but she knows all about*
* fortune-telling and feng-shui!*
**[03:22] Alice**
"Sade was able to tell me everything
about my past and what I was thinking,
**[03:26] Alice**
and I was like, 'Wow, are you,
like, psychic or something?'"
**[03:30] Alice**
The end.
**[03:30] Duke**
It's less like a servant's journal
and more like her own picture diary.
**[03:35] Alice**
That's just like my mother.
**[03:36] Alice**
But from the sound of it,
she and Sade were friends.
**[03:40] Duke**
Yeah.
**[03:41] Duke**
But Sharon was cursed, and put to sleep...
**[03:46] Duke**
There's not much else here.
**[03:48] Duke**
What in this did Daleth want to hide?
**[03:53] Duke**
You're close! You're always close!
**[03:55] Alice**
You looked so handsome when
you were lost in thought.
**[03:58] Duke**
You don't know how much that scares me!
**[04:01] Duke**
I still can't guess what you're
going to do sometimes.
**[04:05] Alice**
* Sade was able to tell me everything*
* about my past and what I was thinking.*
**[04:12] Duke**
*Nico said the same thing...*
**[04:15] Duke**
* That Sade knew everything*
* they were going to do.*
**[04:20] Duke**
*Maybe Sade can read minds?*
**[04:24] Duke**
*It's possible.*
**[04:26] Duke**
*She's a magical genius.*
**[04:28] Duke**
* Maybe she read minds,*
* just like Zain can control time.*
**[04:35] Duke**
*I'll ask Daleth.*
**[04:37] Duke**
* If she was that powerful with*
* magic and could read minds...*
**[04:42] Duke**
*Yes, she'd be unstoppable.*
**[04:45] Duke**
* Really... I can't guess*
* what she'll do at all!*
***SIGN*** Eldest Son, next it's your turn to end up like that!
***SIGN*** Shiver as you go to bed tonight!
**[04:57] Daleth**
He really is wonderful!
**[04:58] Keto**
How ya figure?
**[05:00] Daleth**
He's such a gentleman!
**[05:01] Keto**
How, though?
**[05:04] Keto**
Daleth, you're the boss of us witches!
**[05:06] Keto**
If you like him, go talk to him!
**[05:11] Daleth**
He wouldn't want to talk
to an ugly girl like me.
**[05:13] Keto**
You're not ugly.
**[05:15] Daleth**
It's fine.
**[05:16] Daleth**
I'm happy just watching him
from afar, like I said.
**[05:19] Daleth**
As for you, drink muddy water,
get sick to your stomach, and die.
**[05:22] Keto**
Stop being mean to just your friends.
**[05:24] Viola**
What are you doing there?
**[05:27] Daleth**
His sister!
**[05:28] Keto**
Sister?
**[05:33] Viola**
Stop standing in the snow.
**[05:35] Viola**
If you want to talk to him, come inside.
**[05:37] Viola**
It's cold!
**[05:38] Daleth**
I-I'm just here because I don't
have anything better to do.
**[05:42] Viola**
If you don't have anything
to do, come play with me.
**[05:49] Viola**
So you were watching my
dear brother Walter after all, then.
**[05:52] Viola**
You've got terrible taste.
**[05:55] Viola**
What's your name?
**[05:56] Daleth**
Daleth...
**[05:57] Viola**
You're a strange one, Daleth.
**[05:59] Viola**
I can't figure out what you'd like about him.
**[06:02] Keto**
Well, he's got a handsome face, sorta.
**[06:05] Keto**
*Why am I sticking up for him?*
**[06:07] Viola**
Ridiculous.
**[06:09] Viola**
He needs another half-century
to mature, at a minimum.
**[06:12] Keto**
You're weirder than she is.
**[06:14] Daleth**
I should've asked this sooner,
but what are you doing to me?
**[06:18] Viola**
Help me practice my makeup.
**[06:20] Viola**
And let me cut your hair.
**[06:22] Viola**
You'll be even cuter, I promise.
**[06:25] Viola**
You came all this way to
see my brother, right?
**[06:28] Viola**
You want to be confident when you see him.
**[06:37] Viola**
Daleth, do you not like your face?
**[06:40] Daleth**
They never disappear.
**[06:41] Daleth**
The scars on my face... I don't like them.
**[06:44] Viola**
Gotcha. We'll hide them
with some foundation, then.
**[06:48] (Flashback) Daleth**
Stop, Sade! It hurts!
**[06:51] (Flashback) Daleth**
It hurts!
**[06:54] Viola**
Don't be so nervous, Daleth.
**[06:57] Viola**
I can't put on the makeup unless you're calm.
**[07:13] Viola**
Dear Brother Walter!
**[07:15] Viola**
You have someone who wants to talk to you!
**[07:18] Daleth**
You don't have to do this!
***SIGN*** Oh, Daleth!
***SIGN*** I was just thinking up new nasty names for the eldest!
***SIGN*** Want to hear them?
**[07:27] Daleth**
I-I'm going home.
**[07:28] Viola**
You piece of garbage!
***SIGN*** Wh-Why?
**[07:33] Daleth**
Have a nice day, Walter.
**[07:37] Viola**
Garbage! Trash! Moron!
**[07:40] Viola**
Your mom's flat!
***SIGN*** She was smiling...
**[07:46] Viola**
Delicious!
**[07:47] Viola**
Your cakes are always the best, Alice!
**[07:49] Alice**
Thank you.
**[07:51] Viola**
Hey, when are we girls having our next party?
**[07:53] Viola**
You know when the circus is gonna be closed?
**[07:55] Alice**
I'll ask Cuff.
**[07:57] Alice**
There's actually someone
else who's asked to join.
**[08:00] Viola**
Sure, glad to have them!
**[08:02] Duke**
*Nico said I could invite anybody I wanted,*
**[08:06] Duke**
*but I couldn't ask Viola to come, right?*
**[08:10] Viola**
Your hands are so soft!
**[08:12] Viola**
I could rub them forever!
**[08:15] Duke**
* Just having her nearby*
* would make me feel better.*
**[08:18] Duke**
*But I don't want to put her in danger.*
**[08:21] Viola**
Maybe I'll just rub her breasts instead!
**[08:24] Duke**
* And she'd need mother's permission*
* to leave the house...*
**[08:27] Viola**
Brother! If you don't stop me like you
usually do, I really will touch them!
**[08:32] Duke**
What?
**[08:34] Alice**
Go ahead, Viola.
**[08:36] Viola**
They're so soft! Thank you!
**[08:38] Viola**
You're acting super suspicious.
**[08:40] Viola**
You're hiding something, aren't you, Brother?
**[08:42] Duke**
No, nothing...
**[08:44] Viola**
Over there?
**[08:47] Viola**
This looks suspicious!
**[08:48] Duke**
How is she so sharp?
**[08:50] Alice**
Viola is impressive.
**[08:52] Viola**
Let me see what you're hiding!
**[08:56] Viola**
A skirt? Why?
**[08:59] Viola**
This is cute! What is it?
**[09:01] Duke**
This is... my secret hobby!
**[09:04] Duke**
I was going to wear it myself!
**[09:07] Duke**
*Hopefully that works!*
**[09:11] Viola**
Don't worry. I'm understanding
about that stuff.
**[09:14] Viola**
You don't have to wear it in secret.
**[09:15] Duke**
I didn't expect that!
**[09:17] Cuff**
Hey!
**[09:18] Cuff**
I wanted to ask how many snacks we
can take to the wizardry... school?
**[09:22] Viola**
Wizardry school?
**[09:24] Duke**
Um, you see..
**[09:29] Viola**
I want to go too!
**[09:32] Viola**
I want to go to Wizardry
School and wear this uniform!
**[09:36] Duke**
W-We're not going to have fun!
**[09:38] Duke**
We're going to help break my curse!
**[09:40] Viola**
I don't care why!
**[09:41] Viola**
I'd do anything for a chance to
get away from home for a while!
**[09:45] Duke**
Is that why?
**[09:46] Viola**
I'll go ask Rob if I look
good in this uniform!
**[09:51] Cuff**
Sorry.
**[09:52] Cuff**
I didn't realize Viola was here.
**[09:54] Duke**
Don't worry.
**[09:55] Duke**
It might be better than leaving
without saying anything.
**[09:57] Cuff**
If you say so...
**[09:59] Cuff**
We'll have to tell her about Zain
and me being witches soon, too.
**[10:26] Zain**
I can't believe we got a
whole car to ourselves.
**[10:29] Viola**
We're using our power as nobles.
**[10:31] Viola**
We can't have Dear Brother in the same
car as the other passengers, right?
**[10:35] Cuff**
If we've got the whole car to ourselves,
we're allowed to dance, right?
**[10:38] Viola**
Just do it where I can't see you two.
**[10:40] Duke**
Thanks for setting all this up for us, Viola.
**[10:43] Duke**
I didn't think Walter would
want to come too, though!
***SIGN*** I told you!
***SIGN*** I'm going to find the truth of the curse before you do!
***SIGN*** And I want information on witches too! That's all!
**[10:54] Viola**
Mom said if I wanted to
go, I had to take him.
**[10:58] Viola**
It's like a grand tour,
I guess. She's paying for it.
**[11:03] Cuff**
What's a grand tour?
**[11:05] Duke**
It's a tradition where noble children
go on a tour to learn about the world.
**[11:09] Duke**
I'm glad mom was understanding.
**[11:17] Daleth**
Where are they going, I wonder?
**[11:19] Keto**
Just a trip, I'd imagine.
**[11:21] Keto**
You didn't need to use perfume to hide
your magic so you could follow them.
**[11:26] Daleth**
Yes I did.
**[11:27] Daleth**
I'm worried about Walter.
**[11:28] Keto**
You're turning into a real stalker.
**[11:32] Daleth**
You can go back by yourself if you like.
**[11:34] Keto**
Nope! I'm one of Daleth's girls!
**[11:38] Daleth**
That's such an awful name.
**[11:41] Viola**
So you're witches?
**[11:43] Cuff**
Sorry we didn't tell you.
**[11:45] Zain**
We didn't tell you because we
didn't want to get you involved.
**[11:50] Viola**
It's not a surprise, though.
**[11:51] Viola**
Cuff came in through a second
story window the other day.
**[11:54] Viola**
So, what kind of magic can you use?
**[11:56] C**
This is what I'm best at.
**[12:00] Viola**
That's so cool!
**[12:08] Duke**
Have you never been on a train before, Alice?
**[12:10] Alice**
Not since Rob brought me to the mansion.
**[12:14] Alice**
But this is even more special than that trip.
**[12:18] Alice**
I still can't believe I get
to go on a trip with you.
**[12:21] Duke**
M-Me, too!
**[13:18] Duke**
So this is it?
**[13:21] Nico**
Hey! We've been waiting for you!
**[13:25] Duke**
*So this is the wizardry school...*
**[13:33] Duke**
I'll introduce the two of us again.
**[13:36] Duke**
I'm Nico, the headmaster.
**[13:38] Duke**
And this beautiful lady is
Assistant Headmaster Ichi.
**[13:41] Duke**
We'll teach you all you need to know
about magic, wizardry, and witches.
**[13:44] Duke**
That includes both practical
training and book learning.
**[13:47] Zain**
Beautiful? Ichi?
**[13:49] Ichi**
Show some respect, or I'll rip off your beak!
**[13:54] Nico**
You will address us as teachers!
**[13:58] Nico**
And if you don't, I'll teach you a lesson!
**[14:01] Nico**
Haha, get it?
***SIGN*** Hahahahaha
**[14:02] Zain**
His immortality makes him look like a kid,
**[14:05] Zain**
but he's actually a senile old man.
**[14:07] Ichi**
Go change into your uniforms.
**[14:10] Ichi**
I'll show you around the school.
**[14:12] Viola**
Yay! Uniforms!
**[14:13] Zain**
Yay! Changing!
**[14:16] Viola**
It's so cute!
**[14:18] Viola**
I came here just to wear this!
**[14:23] Cuff**
Wearing black feels awkward.
**[14:25] Alice**
Can I raise this skirt's hemline?
**[14:29] Viola**
It's so nice to have matching uniforms!
**[14:31] Boys**
You're so cute!
**[14:33] Ichi**
I'm worried about having
them as students here.
**[14:36] Nico**
Come on, it'll be fine.
**[14:40] Nico**
First, I'll introduce the upperclassmen.
**[14:42] Nico**
Come out.
**[14:47] Nico**
This is Sarah Sunroad. She's a great healer.
**[14:50] Nico**
Millie, who can cut anything.
**[14:52] Millie**
Hey!
**[14:53] Nico**
Pfeifer, who commands thunder.
**[14:55] Pfeifer**
Hewwo!
**[14:57] Nico**
Evelyn, who can hide anywhere.
**[14:59] Evelyn**
Yo!
**[15:00] Nico**
That's all of them.
**[15:01] Zain**
Seriously?
**[15:02] Zain**
There really are girls!
**[15:04] Nico**
I told you I wasn't lying.
**[15:06] Zain**
Wait, is this all?
**[15:07] Zain**
You said you were rounding up comrades,
but it's just these four?
**[15:10] Nico**
Shut up!
**[15:11] Nico**
It's hard to find people with magical power!
**[15:15] Nico**
And we built this huge school, too.
**[15:17] Nico**
It's been rough for us too, you know?
**[15:19] Ichi**
I'll introduce the other instructor.
**[15:22] Nico**
He's also the one who'll be teaching you.
**[15:27] Zain**
You're...
**[15:28] Flea**
When I looked in the mirror this morning,
**[15:30] Flea**
I'd gotten another step closer
to being like Brother Nico.
**[15:33] Flea**
I'm a man who admires Brother Nico
and wants to be him!
**[15:37] Flea**
Hello! I'm your teacher, Flea!
**[15:40] Zain**
He's our teacher?
**[15:41] Evelyn**
You're so cool, Mister Flea!
**[15:44] Pfeifer**
Give me your autograph!
**[15:46] Zain**
Why do the girls like *him*?
**[15:48] Zain**
And I can tell from your magical
power that you're a witch!
**[15:51] Zain**
Why are you serving a human?
**[15:53] Flea**
I admire the way he and
Ichi live their lives!
**[15:57] Flea**
People who care about race
are behind the times.
**[16:01] Girls**
He's the best!
**[16:03] Zain**
I can't accept this!
**[16:06] Nico**
So we've shown you most of the school.
**[16:10] Nico**
Any questions?
***SIGN*** Yes.
***SIGN*** How long will these classes last?
***SIGN*** I've told my household it would take about a week.
**[16:20] Nico**
That'll cover the basics.
**[16:23] Nico**
After that, everyone's free to as they please.
**[16:25] Nico**
If you want to learn for a specific reason,
you can stay here for a while.
**[16:33] Nico**
To defeat Sade, you'll need to be increasing
your magical power and learning the basics.
**[16:38] Nico**
This way, you'll get strong enough to fight her.
**[16:42] Nico**
I want you all to study hard.
**[16:44] Nico**
Especially you, Zain.
You're the key to this plan.
**[16:47] Nico**
I want you to be able to control
your time magic perfectly.
**[16:51] Zain**
Got it.
**[16:53] Zain**
I'll be honest, I'm still
not happy about helping you.
**[16:57] Zain**
But I want to help my friend.
**[17:00] Duke**
Zain...
**[17:02] Nico**
Classes start tomorrow.
**[17:03] Nico**
I've prepared food and a bath for you.
**[17:07] Nico**
Tonight, get some rest.
**[17:11] Cuff**
Food!
**[17:12] Zain**
A bath!
**[17:13] Daleth**
We ended up being very late.
**[17:16] Daleth**
We suffered a horrible delay.
**[17:17] Keto**
You're very popular, Daleth.
**[17:20] Keto**
Now let's go inside.
**[17:22] Daleth**
This building has a powerful
barrier around it, though.
**[17:26] Keto**
Ow!
**[17:27] Daleth**
I just told you...
**[17:29] Daleth**
What does Walter want here?
**[17:33] Daleth**
What if he came to see another woman?
**[17:35] Keto**
I don't think he did.
**[17:37] Daleth**
No, I'm sure he did!
**[17:39] Daleth**
If I could tear down this
castle right now, I would!
**[17:46] Viola**
That was a great dinner, wasn't it?
**[17:49] Alice**
It was delicious.
**[17:50] Viola**
I'm glad we came.
**[17:52] Viola**
I still don't get this magic stuff,
but it was fun.
**[17:56] Cuff**
Viola, it's terrible manners to
get into the bath with a towel on.
**[18:00] Cuff**
Get rid of it!
**[18:02] Viola**
N-No way!
**[18:05] Duke**
*I just heard Viola's voice in the distance.*
**[18:07] Duke**
*Did something happen?*
**[18:11] Duke**
*This is awkward.*
**[18:13] Duke**
*Where did Zain go?*
**[18:16] Zain**
What are you doing here?
**[18:18] Ichi**
Am I not allowed in the woman's bath?
**[18:20] Ichi**
If anyone shouldn't be here, it's you.
**[18:22] Zain**
Oh, um, I thought this was the men's bath.
**[18:25] Ichi**
It's on the other side of the
building, you peeping cockerel!
***SIGN*** I want to ask you something.
**[18:30] Duke**
Wh-What is it?
***SIGN*** That man who looks like a child, Threeco...
**[18:35] Duke**
Isn't "Twoco" more apt?
***SIGN*** Don't ever say that!
***SIGN*** That less-than-threeco man was saying something about "Defeating Sade."
***SIGN*** But I didn't hear the full story.
***SIGN*** Explain.
**[18:46] Duke**
Okay.
**[18:47] Duke**
You've come this far so
I'll explain everything.
**[18:54] Cuff**
Isn't this fun, Alice?
**[18:56] Cuff**
I'm so glad I came.
**[18:57] Alice**
Me, too.
**[19:00] Viola**
*There's no room for me to get between...*
***SIGN*** I see.
***SIGN*** So you'll use Zain's magic to go back in time
***SIGN*** and defeat Sade before she lays the curse on you.
**[19:11] Duke**
But I don't want to kill her.
**[19:14] Duke**
I want to talk to her.
**[19:15] Duke**
I want to know why she cursed me.
**[19:18] Duke**
I don't want to use force.
I want to be friends with her.
***SIGN*** I understand.
**[19:24] Duke**
I was wondering... did Mom say
anything about us coming here?
***SIGN*** I didn't tell her this was a wizardry school,
***SIGN*** but she didn't complain at all.
***SIGN*** She said she wanted me to go and learn more about the world.
**[19:36] Duke**
How are things with Mom lately?
***SIGN*** It's working out all right.
**[19:46] Duke**
*Walter's being nice today.*
**[19:48] Duke**
* A hot spring brings peace*
* to the heart, I guess.*
**[19:53] Duke**
I'm sorry for making you go through all this.
***SIGN*** Shut up, loser!
**[20:00] Duke**
I don't know what'll set him off.
**[20:04] Daleth**
That sight's too much for a girl
who's not experienced with guys!
**[20:07] Keto**
Then don't look!
**[20:09] Keto**
So, what now?
**[20:12] Daleth**
We'll watch a little more.
**[20:14] Daleth**
Once the sun rises,
I'll see just who this woman is.
**[20:17] Keto**
I'm pretty sure it's not
another woman, though.
**[20:20] Zain**
So that's the story?
**[20:23] Zain**
I understand why Cuff wanted to
come here after talking to you.
**[20:27] Ichi**
She just wants to get stronger, I think.
**[20:30] Ichi**
Though I'm sure you'd like to be
the one who protects her forever.
**[20:37] Ichi**
Believe in her.
**[20:38] Ichi**
No matter how strong she gets,
she's not going anywhere.
**[20:42] Zain**
I know.
**[20:44] Cuff**
That was a great bath.
**[20:45] Cuff**
Huh?
**[20:46] Alice**
Zain? Ms. Ichi?
**[20:48] Zain**
Hey, Cuff!
**[20:49] Zain**
This old lady's actually pretty
neat once you get to know her!
**[20:51] Ichi**
I guess I said more than I should have.
**[20:54] Ichi**
Cuff, let's go.
**[20:56] Ichi**
I'll train you every night, starting tonight.
**[20:58] Ichi**
I'll make you strong.
**[21:12] Alice**
Your Grace...
**[21:13] Alice**
I came because I wanted to see how
you were doing before I slept.
**[21:16] Duke**
Me, too.
**[21:17] Duke**
I'm glad I got to see you.
**[21:19] Duke**
Classes start tomorrow, right?
**[21:21] Alice**
Yes.
**[21:22] Alice**
It makes me happy to be your classmate.
**[21:30] Alice**
Now, I'm afraid Viola is waiting.
**[21:33] Alice**
Goodnight, Your Grace.
**[21:35] Duke**
Goodnight, Alice.
**[21:39] Duke**
A-And...
**[21:41] Duke**
You looked really cute in your uniform.
**[21:47] Alice**
Thank you. You looked
wonderful too, Your Grace.
**[22:00] Duke**
I think I'm glad I came!

***SIGN*** Episode 24
The Duke, Alice, and the Curse Witch
**[01:33] Cuff**
Okay, Ms. Ichi!
**[01:36] Cuff**
Please train me!
**[01:39] Cuff**
I want to get stronger and protect everyone!
**[01:42] Ichi**
Gimme a light.
**[01:45] Cuff**
And you shouldn't smoke so much.
**[01:49] Ichi**
About 800 degrees, I'd say.
**[01:50] Ichi**
Not hot enough.
**[01:53] Ichi**
You can get hotter, right?
**[01:56] Cuff**
I want to get hotter!
**[01:57] Cuff**
I want to make flames as hot as the sun!
**[02:00] Ichi**
Okay, for today's training, no using fire.
**[02:03] Cuff**
Why?
**[02:07] Cuff**
What's this?
**[02:08] Ichi**
Right now, your fire wouldn't even help you.
**[02:11] Ichi**
First, defeat it without any magic.
**[02:17] Ichi**
You're quite the athlete.
**[02:20] Cuff**
Come see me at the circus sometime!
**[02:44] Cuff**
* This is good exercise, but it's*
* not helping me with my magic.*
**[02:49] Cuff**
* I'll do what she wants, but I don't*
* understand the point of this training.*
**[02:56] Ichi**
*You think too much.*
**[03:00] Ichi**
*Zain said the same thing.*
**[03:01] Ichi**
* You look like you're not*
* thinking about anything,*
**[03:03] Ichi**
* but in your own empty-headed way,*
* you're always thinking about others.*
**[03:06] Ichi**
*Your kindness and caring are commendable.*
**[03:09] Ichi**
*But in combat, they'll cost your life.*
**[03:13] Ichi**
* When you're fighting,*
* don't think about anything else.*
**[03:16] Ichi**
*Not your friends. Not your opponent.*
**[03:19] Ichi**
*Not even whether you're going to win or lose.*
**[03:21] Ichi**
*Empty your mind.*
**[03:24] Ichi**
*Focus on your battle.*
**[03:27] Ichi**
* And then you'll become hotter*
* than anything else in the world.*
**[03:39] Ichi**
* But it'll take you a little*
* longer to realize that, I think.*
**[03:43] Ichi**
Training your mind will
strengthen your magic as well.
**[03:52] Ichi**
And I've got high hopes for you.
**[03:59] Flea**
Good morning, everyone.
**[04:01] Flea**
I'm your instructor, Flea.
**[04:04] Flea**
This is a wizardry school, but I'm a witch.
**[04:06] Zain**
What's that pose?
**[04:09] Flea**
A technique that allows me to look
almost identical to Brother Nico
**[04:11] Flea**
by hiding everything but my eyes.
**[04:13] Walter**
*Please lose weight.*
**[04:15] Flea**
I will be teaching you
what's in your textbooks.
**[04:18] Flea**
Please take notes.
**[04:20] Zain**
Can't we just memorize them?
**[04:23] Zain**
Why can't you just teach me how to control
my time magic instead or something?
**[04:28] Flea**
If you pay attention in class,
you'll learn that on your own eventually.
**[04:32] Flea**
I won't let you say *no* to taking *notes*!
**[04:35] Zain**
Those awful jokes...
**[04:37] Zain**
You really are trying to be like him.
**[04:41] Flea**
Now, let's begin class.
**[04:56] Flea**
A pop quiz for our young Death Incarnate!
**[04:58] Duke**
Huh? Me?
**[05:00] Flea**
Which of the following people summoned and
made a contract with the devil Mephisto?
**[05:04] Flea**
A. A dog from my neighborhood.
**[05:06] Flea**
B. Brother Nico.
**[05:07] Flea**
C. Faust.
**[05:09] Duke**
Um...
**[05:11] Flea**
If you've been listening to
the lecture, this should be easy.
**[05:14] Duke**
C-C?
**[05:16] Flea**
That's right!
**[05:18] Flea**
Wonderful! You're a genius!
**[05:20] Duke**
Thanks, Alice. You saved me!
**[05:23] Alice**
I always wanted to do something like this.
**[05:29] Flea**
That's all for my lesson today.
**[05:34] Flea**
Sister Ichi will be your
instructor for second period.
**[05:37] Flea**
Go to her classroom.
**[05:41] Zain**
My shoulders are so stiff!
**[05:43] Zain**
I can't believe he's teaching us all
this really basic stuff about magic.
***SIGN*** Zain.
**[05:47] Zain**
What?
***SIGN*** Can your time magic heal, say, scars on somebody's face?
***SIGN*** Make it so they never happened?
**[05:57] Zain**
I can't say for sure, but maybe.
***SIGN*** I see.
**[06:08] Keto**
Your sneeze is so cute, Daleth.
**[06:09] Daleth**
Quiet.
**[06:13] Ichi**
I'm sure Cuff already knows this,
**[06:15] Ichi**
but I teach through actual combat,
and I'm a tough teacher.
**[06:18] Ichi**
My goal is for you to learn how to operate
magical items in combat instinctively.
**[06:23] Viola**
Magical items?
**[06:25] Alice**
How do we use them?
**[06:27] Ichi**
The point of this class is
for you to figure that out.
**[06:30] Duke**
You're not going to tell us?
**[06:31] Ichi**
If you can't figure it out, you'll die.
**[06:34] Ichi**
Now, figure out a way to use your item.
**[06:36] Ichi**
As soon as you've done that,
you're free to go on break.
**[06:39] Zain**
I've got it! I can use
it for something naughty!
**[06:42] Ichi**
No, moron!
**[06:44] Cuff**
Then I'll... throw it!
**[06:46] Ichi**
No!
**[06:47] Ichi**
Don't let go of your weapon!
**[06:49] Zain**
Ooh, I did get something naughty!
**[06:52] Cuff**
Don't sound so happy!
**[06:53] Viola**
I can't figure it out!
**[06:55] Duke**
Do I push it? Pull it? Twist it?
**[06:58] Alice**
I think I could use it as a hair ornament.
**[07:00] Duke**
Even at a time like this, you're cute!
**[07:03] Ichi**
All right, time for the lesson to begin!
**[07:10] Duke**
Alice, watch out!
**[07:15] Alice**
Your Grace...
**[07:16] Duke**
Just hide under me!
**[07:20] Duke**
N-No! No!
**[07:22] Duke**
I'm not thinking of anything weird!
**[07:24] Alice**
I haven't said a word yet.
**[07:26] Ichi**
You there! Stop flirting!
**[07:28] Ichi**
Figure it out already!
**[07:30] Ichi**
If I was Sade, you'd be dead
30 times over by now!
**[07:33] Viola**
But I don't understand!
**[07:42] Ichi**
One of you figured it out.
**[07:44] Viola**
Wow! Wow!
**[07:45] Viola**
How'd you do it?
***SIGN*** It reminded me of the hilt of my rapier...
***SIGN*** The Face of a Man Who's Not
100% Sure What He Just Did
***SIGN*** So I tried thrusting with it.
**[07:50] Ichi**
That's right. It's a hilt.
**[07:53] Ichi**
When you make a thrusting motion with it,
**[07:54] Ichi**
the magic inside will activate
and turn it into a sword.
**[07:58] Ichi**
Master it, and it becomes a powerful weapon.
**[08:00] Walter**
*All the things mother made me do every day...*
**[08:03] Walter**
*I'm so glad I did them!*
**[08:06] Ichi**
I'll give you a reward, too.
**[08:06] Ichi**
You can have it, second son.
**[08:11] Nico**
They're all working hard.
**[08:14] Nico**
If they keep this up, we'll be
able to strengthen our forces.
**[08:21] Nico**
*Was that...*
**[08:26] Nico**
Sade?
**[08:41] Daleth**
* We finally made it inside...*
* so where did Keto go?*
**[08:47] Daleth**
*Wizardry books. How worthless.*
**[08:50] Daleth**
*Human magic is all just copied from ours.*
**[08:54] Daleth**
Is this...
**[08:56] Nico**
Who are you?
**[08:58] Daleth**
What a strange boy. Do you want something?
**[09:00] Nico**
Did you come back to life, Sade?
**[09:03] Daleth**
*He knows Sade?*
**[09:05] Daleth**
*He's a wizard, from the look of his magic.*
**[09:09] Daleth**
*Maybe I'll have him tell me a little more.*
**[09:12] Daleth**
That's right.
**[09:13] Daleth**
I am Sade!
**[09:14] Daleth**
I've come crawling back
here from the pits of hell.
**[09:21] Daleth**
*He can control space...*
**[09:22] Nico**
Damn you, Sade!
**[09:26] Nico**
You killed so many of my friends...
**[09:28] Nico**
I'll kill you again!
**[09:33] Daleth**
*His magic is a copy of ours, but it's strong.*
**[09:38] Nico**
Illusion magic?
**[09:47] Nico**
What are you doing?
**[09:48] Daleth**
It makes you mad, doesn't it?
**[09:50] Daleth**
What do you mean, "kill me again"?
**[09:52] Nico**
Did you lose your memories
when you went to hell?
**[09:55] Nico**
You died over a decade ago! We killed you!
**[10:00] Nico**
But I can't break the immortality
curse you put on me.
**[10:06] Nico**
I can't even age alongside the woman I love!
**[10:09] Nico**
I'll rip this illusion apart!
**[10:13] Nico**
This is my school.
**[10:15] Nico**
And I'm in charge here.
**[10:18] Daleth**
*She made her enemy immortal?*
**[10:20] Daleth**
*What was Sade thinking?*
**[10:24] Daleth**
I have better things to do than fight you.
**[10:26] Daleth**
Sleep.
**[10:32] Nico**
No...
**[10:33] Nico**
I c-can't let this illusion beat me...
**[10:39] Ichi**
Snap out of it!
**[10:40] Nico**
Ichi!
**[10:41] Ichi**
I'll help you.
**[10:42] Ichi**
No matter who they are,
don't fall for their tricks.
**[10:46] Keto**
You can fight me!
**[10:49] Keto**
Now it's two on two!
**[10:51] Daleth**
Where did you go?
**[10:52] Keto**
You're the one who disappeared on me!
**[10:55] Keto**
But since you picked a fight with our boss,
**[10:57] Keto**
now I'mma end you FR, FR.
**[10:59] Daleth**
Use actual words.
**[11:01] Ichi**
Is that really Sade?
**[11:04] Nico**
I don't know.
**[11:05] Nico**
But if we keep fighting any longer
it will put the students in danger.
**[11:10] Nico**
Have Flea evacuate them all.
**[11:12] Daleth**
Students?
***SIGN*** Daleth!
**[11:18] Daleth**
I'm not Sade.
**[11:20] All**
You're saying that now?
**[11:23] Keto**
I can't believe this school was made
by the people who defeated Sade.
**[11:29] Daleth**
Yes.
**[11:30] Daleth**
I just came to follow Walter.
**[11:33] Daleth**
On that day, Sade vanished without a word...
**[11:38] Daleth**
And she never came back.
**[11:41] Daleth**
I don't know how I feel about this.
**[11:42] Keto**
That's right.
**[11:44] Keto**
I'm happy I get this cute uniform, though.
**[11:49] Daleth**
It's just cloth.
**[11:55] Nico**
I was on the fence about this,
**[11:58] Nico**
but we've got two new students
who've asked to join our class.
**[12:02] Nico**
They say they know you all already, though.
**[12:07] Keto**
Viola, yay!
**[12:08] Viola**
Keto, yay!
**[12:10] Keto**
These uniforms are great!
**[12:12] Viola**
Totally!
**[12:13] Viola**
That's why I came here!
**[12:15] Duke**
How do you know each other?
**[12:18] Daleth**
I look weird.
**[12:19] Daleth**
I look so weird.
**[12:21] Daleth**
I look like I'm pretending
to be younger than I am.
**[12:23] Daleth**
I'm over 150 years old! And I'm
wearing this indecent outfit...
**[12:26] Zain**
You okay?
**[12:29] Nico**
Now, let's start class.
**[12:32] Nico**
I'm in charge of teaching you about Sade.
**[12:35] Nico**
Teaching you about her will
help to break our curses.
**[12:42] Nico**
Let's start with Daleth. Since you're here,
**[12:45] Nico**
is there anything you can
say, as her younger sister?
**[12:50] Daleth**
There's nothing I can tell you.
**[12:53] Nico**
Okay.
**[12:54] Nico**
Let me know if you change your mind.
**[12:56] Nico**
Or speak up if anything occurs to you.
**[12:58] Nico**
There's some things you
wouldn't want to tell me,
**[13:00] Nico**
but you can tell your friends, I'm sure.
**[13:03] Daleth**
*They're not my friends.*
**[13:07] Daleth**
*And he'll be more than just a friend...*
***SIGN*** If it bothers you, wear this.
**[13:15] Daleth**
Th-Thank you.
**[13:17] Nico**
Let's start with how we
beat Sade the first time.
**[13:36] Zain**
This is a mess.
**[13:42] Zain**
Okay, everybody's here.
**[13:46] Duke**
Is it true, Zain?
**[13:47] Duke**
That you're going to try going
back into the past tonight.
**[13:49] Zain**
Yeah.
**[13:50] Zain**
Meeting Sade directly will tell us a lot.
**[13:54] Zain**
And with this group, even if we get caught,
we probably won't be in too much trouble.
**[13:57] Daleth**
Do I have to go, too?
**[13:59] Zain**
You're our guide.
**[14:01] Zain**
I need you to come.
**[14:05] Duke**
This is the door to the past?
**[14:07] Zain**
Coming here has definitely made
it easier to control my magic.
**[14:11] Zain**
It still takes some time to set up, though.
**[14:14] Zain**
I was so busy today I didn't even
try to sneak into the girls' bath!
**[14:16] Duke**
That's nothing to be proud of, right?
**[14:18] Zain**
Anyway, let's go.
**[14:20] Zain**
As I see it, Sade's probably
got big tits, too.
**[14:24] Daleth**
He has magical talent, but he's stupid.
**[14:26] Duke**
Daleth...
**[14:28] Duke**
There's something I want to ask you.
**[14:30] Duke**
Could Sade... read minds?
**[14:37] Duke**
There wasn't anything else in the
logbook that could've mattered.
**[14:41] Duke**
That's what you wanted to hide so
badly that you threatened Zain, right?
**[14:47] Daleth**
I can't answer that.
**[14:48] Daleth**
She still has me under her spell.
**[14:53] Daleth**
That's why I want to be free of her.
**[14:55] Daleth**
I'm only helping today for my own sake.
**[15:00] Duke**
Let's get going, too.
**[15:02] Alice**
Yes, Your Grace.
**[15:11] Alice**
This is our family's home.
**[15:13] Duke**
Yes. I lived here before I was cursed.
**[15:17] Alice**
It seems we were separated.
**[15:20] Duke**
If someone sees us, the future might change.
**[15:23] Duke**
Let's hide
**[15:25] Zain**
Did the rest of them make it here?
**[15:29] Zain**
Hey, Daleth.
**[15:31] Zain**
You okay?
**[15:32] Sade**
Do I look like Daleth to you?
**[15:36] Sade**
Yes, you're from the future!
**[15:40] Zain**
Sade.
**[15:46] Daleth**
*Just like he guessed, Sade can read minds.*
**[15:51] Daleth**
*They're both masters of the magical arts...*
**[15:53] Daleth**
*How will Zain get out of this situation?*
**[15:56] Zain**
Wahoo! She does have big tits!
**[16:03] Duke**
Where did they go?
**[16:06] Duke**
It's dangerous to approach
Sade before we find them.
**[16:10] Duke**
Even if we see her, let's
just watch from afar.
**[16:13] Alice**
Yes, we'll just watch.
**[16:14] Alice**
I love it when you watch me, Your Grace.
**[16:17] Duke**
That was very cute, but...
**[16:20] Duke**
Aah!
**[16:27] Duke**
You're...
**[16:34] Duke**
Grandfather Victor?
**[16:36] Sade**
Do you have someone you love?
**[16:39] Zain**
Huh?
**[16:39] Zain**
* The first thing she wants*
* to talk about is romance?*
**[16:41] Zain**
Love ain't my thing. I've never understood.
**[16:44] Zain**
*I'll make up an answer and run away.*
**[16:46] Sade**
I'm being very serious.
**[16:49] Sade**
Don't you think love is a wonderful thing?
**[16:52] Zain**
*She's scary!*
**[16:53] Zain**
*What's wrong with her eyes?*
**[16:54] Zain**
*She'd be pretty otherwise...*
**[16:57] Sade**
For the first time in my
life, I have someone I love.
**[17:01] Sade**
But death is coming, soon!
**[17:03] Sade**
Do you know how much I love him?
**[17:07] Sade**
I wanted to be with him forever,
**[17:10] Sade**
but someone got in the way.
**[17:11] Sade**
Everyone got in the way! Everyone!
**[17:15] Zain**
Stop swaying like that! You're scaring me!
**[17:17] Zain**
I know! Let's talk about something more fun!
**[17:20] Zain**
Hey, how about something
naughty? Maybe a dirty joke?
**[17:23] Sade**
You're in the way, too!
**[17:29] Sade**
An illusion...?
**[17:35] Sade**
Daleth...
**[17:38] Zain**
So she doesn't like dirty jokes?
**[17:40] Zain**
Thanks.
**[17:41] Zain**
Don't tell Cuff.
**[17:43] Daleth**
Start making a time door, now.
**[17:45] Daleth**
I'll distract Sade.
**[17:47] Zain**
S-Sure.
**[17:48] Sade**
Daleth...
**[17:49] Sade**
You were ugly, and I loved you anyway.
**[17:52] Sade**
But the future you doesn't love me?
**[17:56] Sade**
Your eyes are still full of
fear, like they always were.
**[17:58] Sade**
I'll make you remember...
**[18:00] Sade**
That I'm the Queen.
**[18:04] Victor**
Grandfather?
**[18:06] Victor**
I don't have any grandchildren your age...
**[18:09] Duke**
Oh, um...
**[18:11] Victor**
What?
**[18:12] Victor**
Were you up to something naughty?
**[18:16] Victor**
I don't have anything
worth stealing, you know.
**[18:19] Victor**
Except all that money.
**[18:21] Duke**
*A noble's joke!*
**[18:22] Victor**
You don't look like robbers to me, though.
**[18:26] Victor**
If you're lost as to what to do,
**[18:28] Victor**
make the choice you won't
regret in the future.
**[18:31] Duke**
Yes. Grandfather, um...
please be good to Sharon.
**[18:37] Victor**
Oh, you know Sharon?
**[18:39] Victor**
Shall I get her for you?
**[18:40] Duke**
Um...
**[18:41] Alice**
Thank you.
**[18:43] Alice**
But we'll be on our way.
**[18:47] Victor**
I see.
**[18:48] Rob**
Oh, there you are, master.
**[18:51] Duke**
The man with one eye!
**[18:53] Rob**
Wow, do I have a cool nickname like that?
**[18:58] Duke**
It was an honor to meet you.
**[19:00] Duke**
Farewell.
**[19:05] Rob**
Who were they?
**[19:06] Victor**
I don't know. I've never
seen those children before.
**[19:08] Rob**
You and your whims...
**[19:11] Duke**
I didn't expect to run into Grandfather
Victor. That surprised me.
**[19:15] Alice**
So that's what he's like.
**[19:17] Alice**
I know I must've seen him
when I was little, but...
**[19:20] Duke**
I just barely remember him myself.
**[19:23] Duke**
But I liked him.
**[19:25] Duke**
I remember I started to wear
**[19:26] Duke**
this hat I found in the villa
because I wanted to be like him.
**[19:32] Zain**
We're leaving! Sade found us!
**[19:38] Duke**
Why so sudden?
**[19:39] Zain**
I'll tell you later.
**[19:41] Zain**
Daleth, hurry up!
**[19:47] Daleth**
Sade is close!
**[19:49] Daleth**
Close the door, now!
**[19:50] Zain**
Can you say that again, in a cuter voice!
**[19:53] Daleth**
I will break every bone in your body.
**[19:55] Sade**
Wait.
**[19:56] Sade**
Let me come, too!
**[19:59] Daleth**
Stay away, Sade!
**[20:03] Sade**
Alice. Sharon's daughter...
**[20:06] Sade**
Disgusting girl.
**[20:20] Zain**
Well, that was close.
**[20:23] Zain**
That girl ain't normal.
**[20:24] Zain**
You sure you can be friends with her?
**[20:28] Daleth**
Let's just pray that meeting
her didn't affect the future.
**[20:35] Daleth**
Though it doesn't seem
to have, for the moment.
**[20:52] Duke**
* Will we really be able to*
* talk things out with her?*
**[21:03] Duke**
*I can't let myself get down!*
**[21:08] Duke**
*I made my choice, right?*
**[21:12] Duke**
*I'm going to be friends with Sade.*
**[22:47] Duke**
You okay, Alice?
**[22:49] Duke**
You must've been scared back there.
**[22:51] Alice**
No, I'm not scared of anything
as long as I'm with you.
**[22:58] Duke**
When spring... comes...
**[23:05] Duke**
No, never mind.
**[23:07] Duke**
Forget it.
**[23:10] Duke**
*When spring comes...*
**[23:12] Duke**
*I want to be able to hold your hand.*
**[23:15] Duke**
*And...*
**[23:32] Sharon**
What a great nap!
