**[00:09] Narrator**
* The curse the witch laid upon him caused*
* him to take the lives of any he touched.*

***SIGN*** Episode 25
The Duke, Alice, and Reuniting with Mom
**[02:22] Viola**
Every single morning...
**[02:24] Viola**
I worry about you, you know.
**[02:27] Viola**
You're falling asleep while walking.
**[02:29] Alice**
Ms. Ichi's training is difficult, after all.
**[02:32] Cuff**
Yes, but it's also really helpful!
**[02:34] Keto**
She suddenly woke up.
**[02:36] Cuff**
Ms. Ichi taught me that getting
stronger means believing!
**[02:40] Cuff**
If I believe in myself and Zain
and everybody else, and focus on the fight,
**[02:43] Cuff**
I can burn even brighter—
**[02:46] Viola**
She ran out of batteries
in the middle of her speech.
**[02:48] Zain**
That's honestly impressive.
**[02:50] Evelyn**
Hey, junior students!
**[02:53] Zain**
The older girls?
**[02:54] Keto**
You want something?
**[02:56] Evelyn**
Ms. Ichi asked us to look after you.
**[02:58] Evelyn**
She said Cuff's staying up all night,
and it's probably starting to get to her.
**[03:01] Evelyn**
Sarah, do it.
**[03:03] Zain**
*Big boobs...*
**[03:10] Cuff**
I feel so alert!
**[03:12] Cuff**
My tiredness and exhaustion are all gone!
**[03:14] Evelyn**
Sarah can lick something
to restore it to its original state.
**[03:17] Evelyn**
In other words, she's a healing wizard.
**[03:20] Evelyn**
You know, "Put some saliva on it,
and it'll heal."
**[03:22] Cuff**
I see! Thanks, Sarah!
**[03:26] Zain**
I'm suddenly feeling really tired, too!
**[03:28] Zain**
Sarah, heal me!
**[03:30] Viola**
Hey, what can the rest of you do?
**[03:33] Millie**
I can cut anything!
***SIGN*** I make things go crackle-boom!
**[03:34] Pfeifer**
I make things go crackle-boom!
**[03:36] Evelyn**
You need to learn to speak properly.
**[03:38] Duke**
Zain, let's get going.
**[03:40] Zain**
Healing! I need Sarah's healing!
**[03:44] Song**
*Howling roars! Flames of fire!*
**[03:52] Song**
*If you use water magic, then go! Go! Go!*
**[03:59] Song**
*Wiz! Wiz! Wiz-Wiz-Wizardry!*
**[04:06] Song**
* Don't be in a hurry! Don't be greedy!*
* I'll teach you everything!*
**[04:14] Song**
* We'll learn in a mysterious*
* school full of riddles!*
**[04:21] Song**
*Oh, there's lots of trees growing!*
**[04:28] Song**
*At our shining, magical wizardry school!*
**[04:35] Cuff**
Okay, I'm off to training!
**[04:37] Zain**
All right. Don't push yourself too hard.
**[04:39] Cuff**
I'm fine!
**[04:40] Cuff**
Believe in me and Ms. Ichi!
**[04:43] Zain**
Now, then... What do I do?
**[04:46] Zain**
I'm almost at a point where
I can level up my magic, I think,
**[04:50] Zain**
but I'm missing something.
**[04:53] Zain**
I want a way to feel good and clear my head.
**[04:56] Zain**
Maybe I'll ask the older girls!
**[05:01] Cuff**
Roll, roll, roll, roll...
**[05:06] Ichi**
*You're learning to concentrate.*
**[05:08] Ichi**
* I didn't expect a few lessons*
* to change you this much.*
**[05:11] Ichi**
Enough.
**[05:12] Ichi**
I think it's time. Show me
how brightly you can burn.
**[05:16] Ichi**
Use your magic.
**[05:17] Cuff**
Okay!
**[05:21] Cuff**
* Ever since that day when*
* I couldn't protect anything,*
**[05:24] Cuff**
*I've always tried to fight on my own.*
**[05:28] Cuff**
*But now things are different.*
**[05:29] Cuff**
* I'll believe in Zain, in Ms. Ichi,*
* and in the people who fight by my side.*
**[05:34] Cuff**
* And I'll become as strong*
* and bright as I possibly can!*
**[05:39] Cuff**
Brighter! Brighter! Even brighter!
**[05:45] Ichi**
Not bad.
**[05:47] Cuff**
Yeah! Right now I'm burning
bright and hot as the sun!
**[05:53] Cuff**
Take this!
**[05:54] Cuff**
Special attack: Bomb That's
As Bright and Hot As the Sun!
***SIGN*** Well? Did my crackle-boom make you feel better?
**[06:03] Pfeifer**
Well? Did my crackle-boom make you feel better?
**[06:06] Zain**
Y-Yeah, a lot.
**[06:08] Zain**
* I should've put a little more*
* thought into this plan...*
**[06:12] Zain**
* I think I got not just one level better,*
* but two or three levels better...*
**[06:15] Zain**
Thanks, really. That's enough.
***SIGN*** Okay,
**[06:18] Pfeifer**
Okay, lemme do that three more times!
***SIGN*** lemme do that three more times!
**[06:22] Zain**
No, I-I'm fine!
**[06:30] Nico**
You're going back to the Underworld?
**[06:32] Keto**
Thanks for everything you've taught us.
**[06:35] Daleth**
While I have mixed feelings about this,
we do share the same goal.
**[06:40] Daleth**
If there's something I can do, I'll do it.
**[06:43] Daleth**
Of course, you're going to attempt
to persuade Sade, right?
**[06:46] Daleth**
If your plan is to just try
to fight and kill her,
**[06:48] Daleth**
then we'll have to reconsider.
**[06:51] Nico**
You care about your family, huh?
**[06:52] Daleth**
That's not all.
**[06:54] Daleth**
I need her alive.
**[06:57] Nico**
Got it.
**[06:59] Nico**
If you're here, the odds that
we can persuade Sade go up.
**[07:03] Nico**
I don't want meaningless bloodshed, either.
**[07:06] Daleth**
Call me when your plan
to go to the past is ready.
**[07:09] Daleth**
Goodbye.
**[07:12] Daleth**
By the way, there's something I'd like
in exchange for my help.
**[07:20] Daleth**
* This book that can turn a witch into*
* a human that I found the other day...*
**[07:25] Daleth**
* If I follow what it says,*
* I can become human.*
**[07:30] Daleth**
*And then...*
**[07:31] Daleth**
*And then...*
**[07:34] Daleth**
*And then...!*
**[07:43] Daleth**
B-But it looks pretty difficult.
**[07:47] Daleth**
You need a thousand different items,
and the process is a thousand steps long.
**[07:52] Daleth**
What's the last one?
**[07:54] Daleth**
A-A kiss with a human?!
**[07:58] Daleth**
I got so surprised I threw the book!
**[08:00] Daleth**
* But if I do everything in the book,*
* I can be like Walter...*
**[08:07] Daleth**
* I want to be human...*
* I want to be human like Walter!*
***SIGN*** There you are, Daleth!
**[08:15] Daleth**
W-Walter!
***SIGN*** I've been looking for you.
***SIGN*** I heard you were going back to the Underworld.
**[08:22] Daleth**
Y-Yes, I've been gone for too long,
and I need to get back...
**[08:30] Daleth**
I'm sorry!
**[08:31] Daleth**
I have to go!
***SIGN*** Will I see you again?
**[08:36] Daleth**
O-Of course!
***SIGN*** I grabbed her hand without thinking.
***SIGN*** Was that rude of me?
**[08:54] Keto**
The air's so foul.
**[08:56] Keto**
It really feels like we're
back in the Underworld.
**[08:59] Daleth**
Yes.
**[09:00] Daleth**
But it does feel different, somehow.
**[09:02] Daleth**
More laid-back.
**[09:04] Keto**
Yeah?
**[09:06] Teto**
Oh, Keto! Welcome back!
**[09:08] Sharon**
Oh, welcome back!
**[09:10] Sharon**
We're having a fish party!
**[09:12] Sharon**
Would you like to join us?
**[09:14] Daleth**
Is that really her?
**[09:15] Keto**
She's totally fitting in.
**[09:22] Sharon**
I see!
**[09:24] Sharon**
Thanks to what you told me,
I understand what's going on.
**[09:27] Sharon**
But I can't believe it's been over a decade!
**[09:32] Sharon**
This mansion's just like I remember it.
**[09:35] Sharon**
And if you hadn't told me you were Daleth,
I never would've realized.
**[09:40] Sharon**
I only remember you with the mask on.
**[09:43] Sharon**
Oh, how's your sister?
**[09:45] Sharon**
Is Sade doing well?
**[09:47] Daleth**
She still runs her mouth a lot...
**[09:50] Sharon**
It just feels odd to see you on your own,
since you were always together.
**[09:54] Sharon**
Hi, Rob!
**[09:55] Sharon**
Hey, you've gotten a little older!
**[10:02] Rob**
You surprised me.
**[10:04] Sharon**
It doesn't feel like it.
**[10:08] Rob**
Is that really you?
**[10:09] Sharon**
It sure is!
**[10:11] Sharon**
Sharon Lendrott, age 25!
**[10:13] Sharon**
My daughter is my beloved Alice!
**[10:15] Sharon**
And my favorite food is...
I have a lot of them!
**[10:18] Rob**
It appears to be you, yes...
**[10:20] Rob**
Welcome back, Sharon.
**[10:22] Sharon**
I'm back!
**[10:23] Sharon**
I mean, good morning!
**[10:26] Rob**
I don't understand what's going on, though.
**[10:29] Rob**
You suddenly vanished...
**[10:33] Rob**
and now you're back, looking just
like you did when you disappeared!
**[10:36] Sharon**
I'm confused, too!
**[10:38] Sharon**
I thought I was working hard
at being a maid every day,
**[10:41] Sharon**
and I don't remember why I slept so long...
**[10:44] Daleth**
The powerful shock disrupted your memories.
**[10:47] Daleth**
You need some rest.
**[10:50] Daleth**
Alice will be back from school soon.
**[10:53] Sharon**
School? Alice is at school?
**[10:55] Sharon**
That's right, she's at the age for it now!
**[10:58] Rob**
It's a short-term study program,
it seems. Ten days or so.
**[11:02] Rob**
His Grace is going, so she's going with him.
**[11:06] Sharon**
His Grace is there, too?
**[11:07] Sharon**
Alice has probably grown up so much.
**[11:10] Sharon**
I wonder what she's like.
**[11:14] Sharon**
And does that mean His Grace
lives here, now? With Alice?
**[11:18] Sharon**
Gerbera's at the family home, right?
**[11:19] Sharon**
So have you been looking after Alice
all the time I've been gone?
**[11:24] Rob**
No, Alice came here two years ago.
**[11:28] Rob**
Where to even begin?
**[11:31] Daleth**
This will probably take
a while, so I'm leaving.
**[11:33] Daleth**
Have fun catching up.
**[11:37] Sharon**
Yeah, thanks for everything, Daleth.
**[11:40] Sharon**
Say hi to everyone in the Underworld for me.
**[11:42] Daleth**
Of course. Farewell.
**[11:46] Daleth**
* Sharon's awakening is because of*
* what we did in the past, right?*
**[11:52] Daleth**
*Did Sade do this deliberately? Or...*
**[11:56] Duke**
Thank you for everything, Mr. Nico.
**[11:59] Duke**
We'll all be leaving tomorrow.
**[12:01] Nico**
I see.
**[12:02] Nico**
We'll miss you.
**[12:04] Nico**
I've taught you everything I think you need
to know. Feel like you learned something?
**[12:07] Duke**
Yes. Zain said the whole experience
was a shocking revelation for him.
**[12:11] Duke**
Ms. Ichi says Cuff is now much stronger, too.
**[12:15] Nico**
And what about you?
**[12:16] Nico**
Still believe in that nonsense
about being friends with Sade?
**[12:19] Duke**
Of course.
**[12:20] Duke**
Learning here made me realize even more...
**[12:23] Duke**
We normal people,
**[12:25] Duke**
wizards,
**[12:27] Duke**
and witches—
**[12:28] Duke**
we can all understand each other.
**[12:29] Duke**
So we can be friends.
**[12:32] Duke**
Even with Sade, I'm sure.
**[12:34] Nico**
You're an interesting man.
**[12:38] Nico**
I like you.
**[12:40] Nico**
I promised Daleth, too.
**[12:42] Nico**
We'll start by trying to persuade Sade.
**[12:44] Nico**
That part's up to you.
**[12:46] Duke**
Yeah.
**[12:47] Nico**
And I take back what I said.
**[12:50] (Flashback) Nico**
I've been thinking...
**[12:52] (Flashback) Nico**
The last thing we'll need to kill Sade
is for you to touch her.
**[12:57] Nico**
I didn't think about how you felt
**[12:59] Nico**
and tried to make you do something
you didn't want to do.
**[13:02] Nico**
Forgive me.
**[13:03] Duke**
No, it doesn't bother me.
**[13:06] Nico**
Thanks.
**[13:07] Nico**
Let's break our curses together.
**[13:08] Nico**
And take back our lives!
**[13:13] Ichi**
Hey, Nico. I told you to help me
clean up the stuff we used for class.
**[13:18] Nico**
Sorry, Oichi!
**[13:24] Song**
*Howl into the raging storm!*
**[13:31] Song**
*Let thunder magic roar! Oh yeah!*
**[13:39] Song**
*Wiz! Wiz! Wiz-Wiz-Wizardry!*
**[13:46] Song**
* Now accepting both full-term*
* and short-term students!*
**[13:53] Song**
*With our miraculous teachers and instructors!*
**[14:00] Song**
*Aah, yeah there's a tree growing.*
**[14:08] Song**
*Here at the magical wizardry school!*
**[14:19] Duke**
Well, we'll be going.
**[14:21] Nico**
When preparations are ready,
we'll contact you individually.
**[14:25] Nico**
Zain, don't forget what you learned here.
Keep up your training.
***SIGN*** Don't fworget!
**[14:28] Pfeifer**
Don't fworget!
**[14:30] Zain**
Of course, of course.
**[14:31] Zain**
Anyway, Cuff, we're leaving.
**[14:34] Cuff**
I'm not going unless Ms. Ichi
pats me on the back.
**[14:37] Ichi**
What are you saying?
**[14:43] Cuff**
Thanks, Ms. Ichi!
**[14:44] Cuff**
Bye-bye!
**[14:45] Ichi**
I guess the weird one likes me.
**[14:49] Cuff**
Best seat in the house!
**[14:51] Duke**
Okay, we'll be waiting for word from you.
**[14:53] Evelyn**
Bye, underclassmen!
**[14:55] Millie**
We'll be fighting with you!
***SIGN*** I'll make it go crackle-boom again for you!
**[14:57] Pfeifer**
I'll make it go crackle-boom again for you!
**[15:03] Evelyn**
Bye-bye!
**[15:04] Millie**
Poop!
***SIGN*** Poop-poop!
**[15:05] Pfeifer**
Poop-poop!
**[15:07] Ichi**
Shaddup.
**[15:09] Nico**
Hey, Oichi.
**[15:10] Nico**
You know, for the day of
the battle with Sade...
**[15:13] Nico**
We could call it Sa Day, or something.
**[15:16] Ichi**
You shaddup, too.
**[15:18] Cuff**
It's so fast!
**[15:19] Cuff**
This is amazing, Zain!
**[15:20] Zain**
Don't let go! You'll fall!
**[15:22] Duke**
Mr. Flea, when will we get to the mansion?
**[15:26] Flea**
We're here. I'll put you down.
**[15:29] Alice**
Your Grace?
**[15:31] Alice**
Oh dear, Your Grace.
**[15:34] Duke**
Oww...
**[15:36] Duke**
I guess magic carriages move fast.
**[15:39] Alice**
We're home.
**[15:40] Duke**
Yeah.
**[15:42] Duke**
I do feel most at home here.
**[15:47] Rob**
Welcome back, Your Grace, Alice.
**[15:50] Rob**
I've been waiting.
**[15:52] Alice**
We're back, Rob.
**[15:54] Duke**
We're back.
**[15:55] Duke**
What's gotten into you?
**[15:57] Duke**
You're acting strange.
**[15:59] Rob**
No, nothing at all.
**[16:00] Rob**
I've just got a little surprise
for Alice, is all.
**[16:04] Rob**
I'm sure you'll love it.
**[16:07] Duke**
It's a surprise, but you're
telling her in advance?
**[16:09] Rob**
Oh, I should've not said anything, yes.
**[16:12] Rob**
Anyway, right this way.
**[16:19] Sharon**
Alice!
**[16:21] Duke**
Sharon?
**[16:22] Sharon**
It's been so long.
**[16:24] Sharon**
You've grown up so much, Your Grace.
**[16:35] Alice**
Did you recognize me,
even after all the time that's passed?
**[16:41] Sharon**
Of course. I'm your mother.
**[16:46] Sharon**
I'm proud to see how you've grown up
into such a wonderful young woman.
**[16:51] Sharon**
And how well you seem to be doing.
**[16:54] Alice**
I'm happy... I'm just so happy you're alive.
That you've woken up.
**[16:59] Sharon**
I'm sorry I let you be so lonely.
**[17:02] Duke**
I'm so happy for both Alice and Sharon.
**[17:05] Duke**
*But why did the curse suddenly break?*
**[17:08] Duke**
*Sade, what did you do?*
**[17:13] Sharon**
I was so surprised after
everything Rob told me.
**[17:16] Sharon**
Your Grace, your curse has
made you suffer so much.
**[17:20] Duke**
No, Rob and Alice were there for me.
**[17:23] Duke**
It's harder for you, Sharon.
**[17:26] Sharon**
I'm taking it better than I thought!
**[17:28] Sharon**
I would've liked to have seen
Alice grow up, though.
**[17:34] Sharon**
I'm happy to have met you again,
but I'm leaving soon.
**[17:41] Duke**
It would be a huge help
if you'd be a maid here.
**[17:44] Duke**
There's never enough people.
**[17:46] Sharon**
My little sister's been looking
after Alice for so long.
**[17:49] Sharon**
I want to go thank her.
**[17:51] Sharon**
Then I'll be working at the family house.
**[17:54] Sharon**
I have to go see Gerbera!
**[17:56] Duke**
Gerbera?
**[17:59] Duke**
Gerbera... You're calling
Mom by her first name?
**[18:02] Sharon**
That's what she wanted me to do!
**[18:04] Sharon**
She may not look it,
but she's very passionate!
**[18:08] Duke**
"Passionate"?
**[18:09] Alice**
I want you to stay here, Mother.
**[18:13] Duke**
*Moe!*
**[18:15] Sharon**
I'm sorry, Alice.
**[18:16] Sharon**
But if I stay here, you won't be able
to flirt with His Grace, will you?
**[18:22] Sharon**
How cute! Was I right?
**[18:24] Rob**
Am I interrupting their
flirting as well, you think?
**[18:27] Duke**
Of course not. You're family too, right?
**[18:34] Duke**
Sharon, there's something
I'd like to ask more about.
**[18:38] Sharon**
O-Okay.
**[18:39] Duke**
It's about Grandfather and Sade...
**[18:42] Duke**
Is there anything you know
about the two of them?
**[18:44] Duke**
It seems to have something
to do with my curse.
**[18:47] Sharon**
Your curse?
**[18:48] Sharon**
I'll tell you anything you want to know!
**[18:51] Sharon**
First, I'll start with the history
of myself and Victor.
**[18:56] Sharon**
Alice and I lived in a little hut...
Kind of like this one, actually!
**[19:03] Sharon**
A noble who'd been injured
while hunting came to it...
**[19:09] Duke**
And that was my grandfather?
**[19:11] Sharon**
Yes.
**[19:12] Sharon**
Thankfully, his wounds were light,
and he was able to leave quickly.
**[19:17] Sharon**
But he contacted us several days later,
**[19:20] Sharon**
offering to let us work in the mansion.
**[19:23] Sharon**
He said he'd have a doctor
take a look at Alice.
**[19:26] Alice**
And that's how we went to the mansion?
**[19:28] Sharon**
Back then, you were so weak
I couldn't leave you to work.
**[19:32] Sharon**
It was really hard.
**[19:34] Sharon**
So I can't thank Victor enough.
**[19:37] Sharon**
But even after he'd hired us,
I'd never been a maid before.
**[19:41] Sharon**
I messed up so many times.
**[19:43] Sharon**
They got me a special black outfit
because I kept dirtying my apron so much.
**[19:48] Sharon**
I worked my hardest every day,
and it was very hard,
**[19:51] Sharon**
but with the help of the Master,
Gerbera, Rob, and my other great coworkers,
**[19:54] Sharon**
it was so much fun.
**[19:58] Sharon**
And more than anything, seeing Alice
get better each day was wonderful.
**[20:04] Sharon**
She was quite close to you as well.
**[20:06] Duke**
Yeah, Alice told me.
**[20:09] Duke**
I don't really remember those days myself.
**[20:12] Sharon**
And then Sade came to me one day.
**[20:16] Sharon**
"Let's be friends," she said.
**[20:18] Sharon**
Sade was a nun who'd been going in and out
of the mansion since before I arrived.
**[20:23] Sharon**
She always had her younger
sister Daleth with her.
**[20:26] Sharon**
It was so much fun talking with her!
**[20:29] Sharon**
Her hobby was fortune-telling,
and she could guess what I was thinking!
**[20:33] Sharon**
And then...
**[20:35] Sharon**
the Master passed away... and I'm sorry,
but I can't remember anything after that.
**[20:41] Duke**
You don't have to force yourself. Thank you.
**[20:43] Alice**
Mother, what was my father like?
**[20:47] Duke**
*She just came out and asked!*
**[20:49] Duke**
*And with this timing!?*
**[20:52] Sharon**
This isn't a great thing to say to
my daughter, but I've got bad taste in men.
**[20:55] Sharon**
He left me for another woman
right after you were born.
**[20:59] Sharon**
He's probably out there somewhere
in the world, I assume.
**[21:03] Alice**
I see.
**[21:04] Alice**
I understand why my aunt
always refused to tell me.
**[21:08] Alice**
If he's alive, that's all that matters.
**[21:10] Alice**
That, and the fact that you're okay with it.
**[21:13] Sharon**
Now, I'll be heading back
to the mansion to sleep.
**[21:17] Sharon**
Don't you go betraying Alice, Your Grace.
**[21:20] Sharon**
You two crazy kids have fun! Good night!
**[21:28] Duke**
Sharon!
**[21:31] Duke**
I'll never betray Alice! Ever!
**[21:34] Duke**
No matter what happens, I'll protect her!
**[21:37] Duke**
I'll make her happy!
**[21:39] Sharon**
Great! Take good care of her!
**[21:43] Sharon**
* Wow, was that a "let me have*
* your daughter's hand" thing?*
**[21:46] Sharon**
*His Grace is so bold! I'm in awe!*
**[21:49] Sharon**
*I'll tell Rob tomorrow!*
**[21:53] Duke**
Alice, let's talk a little more.
**[21:56] Duke**
Alice?
**[21:56] Duke**
Hey, Alice? What's wrong?
**[21:59] Duke**
Um, Alice?
**[22:01] Duke**
Alice?!

**[00:44] (Flashback) Sade**
Not the slightest bit of hesitation to
sacrifice herself for her daughter...
**[00:47] (Flashback) Sade**
Very well. I'll keep my part of our deal.
**[00:52] (Flashback) Sade**
I could make you sleep forever...
**[00:56] (Flashback) Sade**
But for the sake of the ones
who came from the future...
**[01:02] (Flashback) Sade**
I think I'll give you a job, instead.

The Duke, Alice, and the Mysterious Clone
**[02:40] Sharon**
Sorry to keep you waiting, Alice!
**[02:43] Sharon**
You know how your mama loves her ice cream.
**[02:45] Sharon**
Want some?
**[02:46] Alice**
No. Aren't you cold?
**[02:48] Sharon**
I'm cold, but I can snuggle
up next to you as we walk!
**[02:58] Sharon**
Alice, you're so warm!
**[03:00] Sharon**
I need to thank His Grace
**[03:03] Sharon**
for letting me spend the day with you
before I head back to the family mansion.
**[03:08] Cuff**
Alice!
**[03:10] Alice**
Cuff and Zain...
**[03:12] Sharon**
Friends?
**[03:13] Alice**
Yes. They've been very good to me.
**[03:16] Alice**
I'll introduce you.
**[03:25] Cuff**
Alice.
**[03:27] Cuff**
And fake Alice!
**[03:29] Sharon**
I'm her mommy!
**[03:31] Zain**
Mommy?
**[03:32] Zain**
Hello! I'm Zain!
**[03:34] Zain**
Grin!
**[03:35] Zain**
You're totally my type!
**[03:37] Zain**
Both you and your daughter
are very, uh... pretty!
**[03:51] Zain**
I thought Sade's curse put her to sleep?
**[03:57] Zain**
Um, can I check to make
sure you're really human?
**[04:00] Zain**
I'll have to check every inch of your body...
**[04:02] Sharon**
Bye, Cuff! Bye, Zain!
**[04:06] Sharon**
I'll come see you at the circus soon!
**[04:08] Alice**
Say hello to everyone in Gemini for us.
**[04:11] Cuff**
Bye!
**[04:15] Sharon**
It's so good.
**[04:18] Sharon**
I used to come here all the time.
**[04:21] Sharon**
Victor preferred the mansion
where you live now.
**[04:26] Alice**
I'm told the two of you would
practice dancing in the dance hall.
**[04:30] Sharon**
Yes, he said it was for the
day he reunited with his wife.
**[04:35] Sharon**
Rob was there too, but he only watched.
He never let me take a break.
**[04:39] Alice**
I'm told that his wife passed
away at an early age.
**[04:43] Sharon**
Yes. And he said he would be
reunited with her in heaven.
**[04:47] Sharon**
I'd never met her, but he
was always telling stories...
**[04:51] Sharon**
He was such a kind, wonderful man.
**[04:55] Sharon**
When he passed away,
it was like losing a father.
**[05:00] Alice**
I see.
**[05:01] Sharon**
Are you nervous?
**[05:04] Sharon**
You haven't had a bite to eat.
**[05:06] Alice**
It's not that this is awkward or anything.
**[05:07] Alice**
Just... this is what I've wanted for
so long. So I'm a little nervous.
**[05:14] Sharon**
You're so cute! Marry me!
**[05:16] Alice**
I'm your daughter.
**[05:28] Sharon**
You loved picture books like the
one with this princess, Alice.
**[05:33] Sharon**
This was when you were a kid, though.
**[05:35] Alice**
I still do.
**[05:37] Sharon**
You know, you can be a little
more informal with me.
**[05:41] Sharon**
Like you were when you were a kid.
**[05:43] Sharon**
I'm your mom, after all.
**[05:46] Alice**
Good. That makes me happy.
**[05:53] Sharon**
Thanks for everything today.
**[05:55] Sharon**
We can see each other
whenever we want now, right?
**[05:58] Alice**
Yeah.
**[06:00] Sharon**
I love you, Alice!
**[06:02] Alice**
Me too.
**[06:04] Alice**
Take care.
**[06:22] Duke**
What's this creepy thing?
**[06:24] Rob**
It was lying in the hallway,
so I brought it here.
**[06:27] Rob**
It must be some new type of animal.
**[06:29] Duke**
Are you going to keep it?
**[06:31] Rob**
Yes. I'm going to name it Rob II
and watch it as it grows.
**[06:36] Duke**
*Why's he giving it his own name?*
**[06:46] Viola**
Hey! Why are you following me?
***SIGN*** I wanted to learn about femininity
***SIGN*** in a way I couldn't from just wearing feminine clothes.
***SIGN*** You brush your legs together as you walk, don't you?
**[06:57] Viola**
Creep! Creep!
You're such a creep, Brother!
**[06:59] Sharon**
Hey there!
**[07:01] Sharon**
Oh, Walter! Viola!
You've grown up so much!
**[07:07] Viola**
Who's that?
**[07:15] Sharon**
How's it going?
**[07:20] Sharon**
Why did you close the curtains?
**[07:25] Sharon**
Um, I thought I'd give
you a bit of a surprise.
**[07:30] Mom**
Who are you?
**[07:31] Mom**
Why would someone send me a person who looks
just like Sharon, after all these years?
**[07:35] Mom**
This isn't a funny prank at all.
**[07:36] Sharon**
I'm not an impostor. I'm the real Sharon!
**[07:40] Mom**
That's impossible!
**[07:41] Mom**
You haven't aged a day!
**[07:43] Mom**
Do you know how many years it's been?
**[07:45] Mom**
Leave.
**[07:47] Mom**
If this is a hallucination, or a
dream, I'll wait for it to end.
**[07:50] Sharon**
Sorry, Gerbera.
**[07:52] Sharon**
I disappeared and left you all alone.
**[07:56] Sharon**
I can understand why you
wouldn't believe it's me.
**[07:58] Sharon**
But you know, I've never forgotten
the words you said to me. "I lo—"
**[08:04] Mom**
Stop it!
**[08:06] Mom**
Are you really Sharon?
**[08:09] Sharon**
Basically, I was put under a magic
spell that made me sleep for a long time.
**[08:14] Sharon**
I wanted to see you, so I hurried here.
**[08:19] Sharon**
You were younger than me
when we met, weren't you?
**[08:23] Sharon**
Time stopped for me, but not for anyone else.
**[08:28] Mom**
Sharon...
**[08:30] Viola**
So is that Alice's mom?
**[08:33] Viola**
The one who used to work here?
***SIGN*** It has to be!
***SIGN*** But why?
**[08:36] Mom**
Give me some time to think.
**[08:39] Mom**
Your room's just as it was.
You can stay there.
**[08:42] Sharon**
Wait, Gerbera!
**[08:48] Sharon**
Hey, open the door!
**[08:50] Sharon**
We're finally reunited,
and I want to talk to you!
**[08:53] Viola**
Wow, she's so aggressive.
**[08:55] Sharon**
Oh, my apologies.
**[08:57] Sharon**
I should be more respectful
of the lady of the house.
**[09:00] Sharon**
Oh, my. Viola, Walter,
you've grown up so much.
***SIGN*** You just told us that.
**[09:08] Viola**
She talks a hundred times
more than Alice does.
**[09:12] Sharon**
Sorry for scaring you all!
**[09:14] Maid**
You really haven't changed, though, Sharon!
**[09:17] Maid**
Will we be able to work with you again?
**[09:18] Viola**
Hey! This is a girl's room, you know!
**[09:19] Viola**
Hey! This is a girl's room, you know!
**[09:21] Viola**
No boys allowed.
***SIGN*** There's something I want to ask Sharon, too.
***SIGN*** I know just the trick!
**[09:39] Walter**
* The Eldest and his friends said they*
* were going back to the past as a test.*
**[09:45] Walter**
*Sharon's awakening must be an effect of that.*
**[09:48] Walter**
*Is Sade plotting something?*
**[10:02] Sade**
At last...
**[10:11] Sade**
At last I can move properly.
***SIGN*** Are you Sade?
**[10:20] Sade**
Um, you're, uh... Victor's grandson... uh...
***SIGN*** I'm the second son!
**[10:27] Sade**
Oh!
***SIGN*** I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm glad I got to meet you, Sade.
***SIGN*** At first, I was after you because I wanted to become the heir...
***SIGN*** But now that's not all!
***SIGN*** I'll never forgive you for hurting not only Daleth's face, but her heart too!
**[10:53] Sade**
Is it just you?
**[10:54] Sade**
Where's the witch who controls time?
**[10:57] Cuff**
I'm not telling you.
**[11:00] Cuff**
You're a bad witch!
**[11:02] Cuff**
Take this! Power of the sun...
**[11:04] Cuff**
Umm.... Something Ball!
**[11:09] Sade**
Your magic is powerful
and unhindered by doubt.
**[11:15] Sade**
But you're rather stupid.
**[11:23] Zain**
Sheesh...
**[11:24] Zain**
You almost destroyed Gemini!
**[11:27] Cuff**
Zain!
**[11:28] Cuff**
Was that your time magic?
**[11:30] Cuff**
You're so cool!
**[11:31] Cuff**
You really are a magical genius!
**[11:32] Zain**
Aww, it's true!
**[11:33] Zain**
I *am* hot!
**[11:35] Cuff**
I didn't say that part.
**[11:37] Zain**
You're calmer about this than I thought.
**[11:47] Walter**
*I have to hit the eye?*
**[11:49] Sade**
A weak weapon.
**[11:51] Sade**
Appropriate for a powerless human.
**[11:54] Sade**
Are you and Daleth in love?
**[11:56] Daleth**
It's none of your business.
**[11:58] Sade**
I see. Hearing that makes me
want to destroy your love!
***SIGN*** So that's what you did... Toyed with people's hearts and laughed...
***SIGN*** Split in
***SIGN*** TWO
**[12:25] Walter**
*Curses. I needed to cut it into three.*
***SIGN*** It's rather disgusting.
**[12:31] Viola**
Gaah! Blood!
**[12:33] Viola**
Somebody! Somebody, quick!
**[12:35] Viola**
Brother is dying!
***SIGN*** Please just don't tell Mother!
**[12:43] Viola**
Put this on it to stop the bleeding.
***SIGN*** But this is your favorite...
**[12:47] Viola**
Just do it.
**[12:49] Viola**
Or I'll punch you!
***SIGN*** Thanks...
**[12:53] Walter**
*There's no way she'd only send one clone.*
**[12:57] Viola**
What are you doing?
**[13:03] Keto**
Daleth!
**[13:05] Bunny**
Daleth!
**[13:08] Bunny**
Are you getting some rest?
**[13:13] Bunny**
In 30 minutes, you have a dinner
with the Witches' Union.
**[13:17] Bunny**
A "be wrapped up in giant spider silk"
experience with the kids.
**[13:20] Bunny**
You have to make documents for tomorrow's
Sabbath, and you have a column to write...
**[13:25] Bunny**
It's your own fault you're so busy!
**[13:28] Bunny**
You went to the human world with
Keto for days and didn't come back!
**[13:36] Daleth**
You just need me to work, right?
**[13:38] Bunny**
Yes. Like a rented mule, please.
**[13:42] Daleth**
You have such a lovable,
fluffy body, and yet...
**[13:45] Bunny**
You know, though, ever since you
became the Underworld boss,
**[13:50] Bunny**
the Underworld has become
a much nicer place to be.
**[13:54] Bunny**
You were a little hard to approach
before you took the mask off, though.
**[13:59] Bunny**
Lately, you've been opening your heart to us.
**[14:04] Bunny**
It makes me happy!
**[14:05] Keto**
Hey!
**[14:06] Teto**
Come join us too, Daleth!
**[14:09] Bunny**
Everyone loves you, Daleth!
**[14:12] Bunny**
Does that make you want to work harder?
**[14:16] Daleth**
It would have, if you hadn't
said that last sentence.
**[14:22] Daleth**
Huh?
**[14:25] Daleth**
Keto and Teto!
**[14:27] Teto**
It's the extinct ultra megalodon shark!
**[14:30] Keto**
It's so funny how you know all about sharks.
**[14:34] Daleth**
You may not eat them.
**[14:36] Keto**
Daleth, your net throwing is so cool!
**[14:38] Daleth**
I'll send you back to your home.
**[14:41] Teto**
I should've taken a video of that.
**[14:48] Daleth**
Farewell.
**[14:50] Sade**
We're finally alone.
**[14:53] Daleth**
Sade...
**[14:54] Sade**
Whatever you do, you screw it up.
**[14:57] Sade**
Do you really think you can be the
boss of the Underworld like that?
**[15:01] Sade**
If somebody refuses to understand,
you have to hurt them until they do.
**[15:04] Sade**
Just like I did to you.
**[15:07] Daleth**
I can't do something so horrible...
**[15:10] Sade**
No! Making someone understand
is a form of love!
**[15:13] Sade**
If you can't do what your
older sister tells you,
**[15:15] Sade**
then drown beneath the
sea along with my clone.
**[15:19] Sade**
Daleth, you never used to make such faces...
**[15:23] Sade**
When we were kids, we both tested
how long we could remain underwater.
**[15:28] Sade**
I got bored and stopped at 80 hours, though.
**[15:31] Daleth**
What do you even want?
**[15:34] Sade**
I've come to love you! That's all!
**[15:43] Sade**
Farewell, Daleth.
**[15:51] Daleth**
The real Sade would never fall
for such a primitive illusion.
**[15:58] Daleth**
If I'm not looking at that
terrible face, I can fight, too.
**[16:03] Alice**
How's Rob II?
**[16:05] Rob**
He remains asleep.
**[16:09] Rob**
Oh, he just woke up.
**[16:18] Sade**
I am Sade, the queen of this world.
**[16:20] Sade**
Even after I have passed on,
my clone revives!
**[16:23] Sade**
Yay.
**[16:26] Rob**
Oh, my.
**[16:27] Alice**
So you woke my mother from
her slumber deliberately.
**[16:31] Rob**
Rob II!
**[16:32] Sade**
Please don't call me by that stupid name.
**[16:34] Sade**
But thanks. Because you treated me
so well, I can move around like this.
**[16:41] Sade**
Alice.
**[16:42] Sade**
You have something to do with the
fact that Sharon fell asleep.
**[16:46] Sade**
I thought it would be fun
to give her a choice.
**[16:48] Sade**
I could heal your illness
and put her to sleep.
**[16:51] Sade**
Or I could simply let you be.
**[16:53] Sade**
It's thanks to me that you're here right now.
**[16:56] Sade**
And it's your fault that Sharon
fell asleep, Alice.
**[17:02] Rob**
It's not Alice's fault. It's your fault, yes?
**[17:09] Sade**
Is it okay for you to speak to me like that?
**[17:11] Rob**
You're a nasty, ugly witch.
**[17:14] Sade**
If you don't start showing some
humility, you're going to get hurt.
**[17:19] Sade**
Like this.
**[17:22] Duke**
Alice, you in here?
**[17:27] Duke**
Rob II? Oh, no!
**[17:32] Both**
Y-Your Grace! Your Grace!
**[17:32] Duke**
I'm sorry, Rob! I killed your precious pet!
**[17:39] Duke**
So Rob II was a Sade clone?
**[17:43] Duke**
Right after I was afflicted with this curse,
**[17:45] Duke**
I tried to catch a bird of my mother's
which had flown from its cage.
**[17:49] Duke**
I accidentally touched it.
**[17:51] Duke**
Mom got so mad.
**[17:53] Duke**
She said I was like death incarnate.
**[17:57] Duke**
* I'm pretty sure Nico was right.*
* I could kill Sade if I wanted to.*
**[18:03] Duke**
*Just like I did that pet bird.*
**[18:06] Duke**
* Why did Sade give me a curse*
* that worked to her disadvantage?*
**[18:11] Duke**
*It's the same with Nico's immortality...*
**[18:13] Duke**
*It was what resulted in her destruction.*
**[18:18] Duke**
*Perhaps Sade...*
**[18:24] Duke**
Are you okay, Alice?
**[18:27] Alice**
Um, I know it's not appropriate
for a maid to say this.
**[18:32] Alice**
But I don't want to be alone tonight.
**[18:38] Alice**
May I stay with you tonight?
**[18:40] Duke**
Of course! Of course you can!
**[18:43] Duke**
I'll be with you, even if the world ends!
**[18:47] Alice**
Thank you.
**[18:48] Alice**
I'll go change into my cutest lingerie.
**[18:54] Alice**
You didn't need to go this far.
**[18:57] Duke**
It's okay.
**[18:58] Duke**
All I can do for you right
now is play the piano.
**[19:04] Duke**
If only this curse could be broken...
**[19:07] Alice**
You'd hold me in your arms?
**[19:09] Duke**
Not now!
**[19:11] Duke**
Didn't you see what happened to Rob II?
**[19:21] Duke**
Why are you sad?
**[19:25] Duke**
This isn't like you.
**[19:27] Alice**
Because Sade told me that it was
my fault my mom fell asleep.
**[19:34] Alice**
She cured the illness I
suffered when I was young,
**[19:38] Alice**
and in exchange, put my mother to sleep.
**[19:40] Alice**
That's the deal she made, I think.
**[19:44] Alice**
If my mother hadn't made that
deal, I'd still be sick.
**[19:51] Duke**
So Sade kept her promise, and cursed you.
**[19:58] Alice**
Perhaps she has her own set of rules.
**[20:01] Duke**
Rules...
**[20:03] Alice**
For my sake, my mother spent
such a long time asleep...
**[20:14] Alice**
This song...
**[20:16] Duke**
I understand why you blame yourself.
**[20:19] Duke**
But if Sharon saw you now,
I think she'd be even sadder.
**[20:27] Duke**
Cheer up.
**[20:29] Duke**
When you're sad...
**[20:34] Duke**
It makes me sad, too.
**[20:51] Alice**
Your Grace...
**[20:59] Alice**
That was a wonderful song.
Thank you.
**[21:03] Duke**
Glad you liked it.
**[21:05] Alice**
I'd like to thank you for that performance.
**[21:09] Alice**
Is there anything you'd like me to do?
**[21:12] Alice**
I can do anything you want, Your Grace.
**[21:15] Duke**
Keep your clothes on!
**[21:17] Duke**
Something I want you to do...
**[21:20] Duke**
*A date...*
**[21:21] Duke**
*Resting on your lap...*
**[21:22] Duke**
*Sleeping in the same bed...*
**[21:23] Duke**
*Mar—*
**[21:23] Duke**
*Marr—*
**[21:27] Duke**
*Marri—*
**[21:30] Duke**
*So close!*
**[21:32] Duke**
* I was about to say something*
* that shouldn't be said casually!*
**[21:35] Alice**
Ma—
**[21:37] Alice**
Make love like wild animals?
**[21:39] Alice**
Or make me your b—
**[21:40] Duke**
No!
**[21:41] Duke**
What kind of books do you read?!
**[21:45] Alice**
Think about what you'd like me to do.
**[21:48] Alice**
Goodnight, Your Grace.
**[21:50] Duke**
Goodnight, Alice.
**[21:55] Alice**
What...
**[21:57] Alice**
should I do?

**[00:01] Narr**
* Can you imagine a life where you*
* can't even touch the person you love?*
**[00:09] Narr**
* The curse the witch laid upon him caused*
* him to take the lives of any he touched.*
**[00:15] Narr**
* His own mother distanced herself from him,*
* his friends called him a monster...*
**[00:19] Narr**
*Even people he'd never met*
**[00:20] Narr**
* spoke of him as "death incarnate*
* that dwells in the forest."*
**[00:24] Narr**
* And yet, he doesn't feel*
* the least bit lonely.*
**[00:51] Alice**
It smells like you, Your Grace. It's calming.
**[00:54] Duke**
Don't you usually do that stuff
when the person's not around?
***SIGN*** Episode 27
The Duke, Alice, and Mother and Mother
**[02:31] Duke**
It's too peaceful.
**[02:33] Duke**
Nico said he'd come tell me when they
were ready to go back to the past.
**[02:38] Duke**
But when will that be?
**[02:40] Duke**
What if he keeps us waiting forever?
**[02:43] Duke**
If I don't break the curse by spring,
my mother will disown me!
**[02:49] Duke**
Maybe I can keep saying she meant
"next" spring for the rest of my life?
**[02:53] Alice**
Excuse me.
**[02:54] Alice**
Zain brought us magic items.
**[02:58] Duke**
Zain was here?
**[02:59] Alice**
Yes.
**[03:01] Alice**
He left right away, saying he needed
to get ready for the circus.
**[03:05] Duke**
I see.
**[03:06] Duke**
I appreciate it when he's so busy.
**[03:08] Duke**
Wow, look at them all!
**[03:10] Alice**
There's a note attached to each
item saying how to use it.
**[03:13] Duke**
He's so nice.
**[03:15] Duke**
Let's try a few.
**[03:17] Duke**
Maybe one of them can help break my curse...
**[03:23] Duke**
Stop being so casual when you show me those!
**[03:27] Duke**
Huh?
**[03:28] Duke**
This one doesn't have a note.
Maybe it fell off?
**[03:32] Alice**
I'll try it.
**[03:35] Duke**
It's dangerous to drink things
when you don't know what they are!
**[03:38] Alice**
Sorry.
**[03:39] Alice**
I just wanted to do everything
I could to be of use to you...
**[03:43] Duke**
Don't put yourself at risk for
the sake of somebody like me...
**[03:46] Duke**
Come on, spit it out.
**[03:49] Alice**
I swallowed it.
**[03:52] Alice**
For the moment, it doesn't
seem to have done anything.
**[03:56] Alice**
Want to see if anything changed?
**[03:58] Duke**
*Good, Alice hasn't changed a bit!*
**[04:00] Duke**
*It's strange to find this normal, though.*
**[04:03] Alice**
Let's try the other items.
**[04:06] Duke**
A puzzle, huh?
**[04:07] Duke**
Leave this one to me! I'm great with
games you can play by yourself.
**[04:11] Duke**
I spent so much time alone, after all!
**[04:12] Duke**
And, done!
**[04:15] Duke**
Do witches just love making joke items?
**[04:19] Duke**
There's also this...
**[04:21] Alice**
"Glasses that let you see and
talk to ghosts," it says.
**[04:26] Duke**
You can see ghosts, right?
**[04:28] Alice**
Not in the least.
**[04:30] Duke**
You're still denying it...
**[04:32] Alice**
See anything?
**[04:34] Duke**
I can see a cute girl, yeah.
**[04:38] Duke**
I don't look good in these glasses,
so I'll try them another time.
**[04:41] Duke**
It's not the right time
of day for ghosts, anyway.
**[04:44] Alice**
You look wonderful in glasses, Your Grace.
**[04:46] Duke**
Thank you.
**[04:48] Alice**
There's also an item that
does magic at random.
**[04:53] Duke**
Flowers!
**[05:02] Duke**
This is so much fun!
**[05:04] Duke**
I wish I had this when I
was at Wizardry School!
**[05:09] Duke**
Maybe this'll do it!
**[05:13] Duke**
Break my curse!
**[05:20] Duke**
You saved me, Alice.
**[05:21] Duke**
Thanks, like always.
**[05:23] Duke**
I'm sorry for making you spend
all your time with me...
**[05:28] Alice**
I'm doing it because I want to.
**[05:30] Alice**
My mother's curse was broken.
Now it's your turn.
**[05:34] Duke**
* But your breasts have*
* nothing to do with that!*
**[05:37] Duke**
"A switch that will let you touch Alice if
the two of you push it together," it says.
**[05:42] Alice**
Let's try it.
**[05:53] Alice**
You've got such long limbs, Your Grace.
**[06:08] Alice**
Go ahead.
**[06:10] Alice**
Touch yourself as much as you like.
**[06:13] Duke**
As much as I like?!
**[06:21] Duke**
Let's go back to normal.
**[06:24] Duke**
Let's try the others some other time.
**[06:27] Duke**
We'll have to thank Zain, too.
**[06:29] Alice**
Yes. Let's go see him soon.
**[06:31] Alice**
I'll get dinner ready, then.
**[06:34] Duke**
Okay, thanks.
**[06:46] Duke**
Is this the note that fell off that bottle?
**[06:51] Zain**
* "Medicine that attracts the*
* person in front of you."*
**[06:54] Zain**
* However, there's no effect if they're*
* attracted to you already, okay?*
**[07:05] Duke**
Alice...
**[07:06] Sharon**
Gerbera, I'm coming inside!
**[07:10] Sharon**
I waited the whole day yesterday!
**[07:12] Sharon**
So today, you'll talk with me, right?
**[07:16] Gerbera**
Sharon, you need to knock.
**[07:18] Gerbera**
And what happened to your hair?
**[07:19] Sharon**
I had Viola cut it for me.
**[07:22] Sharon**
She's so good, isn't she?
**[07:24] Gerbera**
Are you coming back to work here?
**[07:26] Sharon**
Oh, yeah.
**[07:29] Sharon**
First, I'm going to see my sister,
the one who raised Alice.
**[07:34] Sharon**
If you don't mind me coming back after that,
it would make me very happy.
**[07:38] Gerbera**
Very well. The older maids were
all happy to see you, after all.
**[07:42] Gerbera**
I'll tell my husband, too.
**[07:45] Sharon**
I thought you wouldn't accept me anymore...
**[07:49] Sharon**
Thank you, Gerbera.
**[07:55] Gerbera**
You're the only friend I have
in the world, after all.
**[08:02] Gerbera**
*I was raised in a strict noble household,*
**[08:05] Gerbera**
* and forbidden from having*
* friends as a student.*
**[08:08] Gerbera**
* I married into this household at*
* my parents' demand right after graduation,*
**[08:11] Gerbera**
*and was blessed with three children.*
**[08:14] Gerbera**
* My husband is frail and often ill,*
* but hard-working and loyal.*
**[08:16] Gerbera**
*My children all grew up healthy.*
**[08:19] Gerbera**
*I should've been happy...*
**[08:22] Gerbera**
*But something was missing.*
**[08:25] (Flashback) Sharon**
Somebody help!
**[08:30] (Flashback) Sharon**
Is somebody there?
**[08:32] (Flashback) Sharon**
Please, help me!
**[08:33] (Flashback) Sharon**
I'm stuck on the rose thorns!
**[08:35] (Flashback) Sharon**
Oww!
**[08:38] (Flashback) Sharon**
I thought I was a goner!
**[08:40] (Flashback) Sharon**
I don't know who you are, but thank you...
**[08:44] (Flashback) Sharon**
Mistress! You saved me?!
**[08:46] (Flashback) Gerbera**
What were you doing here?
**[08:48] (Flashback) Sharon**
Um, Viola lost her hair band around
here, so I was looking for it...
**[08:52] Gerbera**
*This maid...*
**[08:53] Gerbera**
*Isn't this the maid my father-in-law hired?*
**[08:53] (Flashback) Sharon**
And then I got stuck!
**[08:56] Gerbera**
*Her name's "Sharon," I think?*
**[08:57] (Flashback) Sharon**
Here it is! The hair band Viola lost!
**[09:01] (Flashback) Sharon**
Tell her you found it, please.
**[09:04] (Flashback) Sharon**
I'm sure she'd be happier
if you gave it to her.
**[09:08] (Flashback) Sharon**
Good day!
**[09:11] (Flashback) Sharon**
Who put this bucket here? Oh, it was me!
**[09:16] (Flashback) Viola**
Oh, this...
**[09:17] (Flashback) Gerbera**
If it's important to you, don't lose it.
**[09:20] (Flashback) Gerbera**
It causes problems for others.
**[09:23] Gerbera**
* I always go too far and say*
* things I don't mean to.*
**[09:26] Gerbera**
*It's not that I don't love my children...*
**[09:28] (Flashback) Sharon**
You're so cute, Alice! Like an angel!
**[09:31] (Flashback) Sharon**
You really are so cute, my Alice!
**[09:34] (Flashback) Gerbera**
Would you talk to me about something?
**[09:36] (Flashback) Sharon**
Me?
**[09:37] (Flashback) Gerbera**
That's right.
**[09:38] (Flashback) Gerbera**
Come to my room later.
**[09:41] Gerbera**
*Was I too forceful?*
**[09:43] (Flashback) Sharon**
What? I'm older than you?
**[09:47] (Flashback) Gerbera**
Yes. I'm 24 this year.
**[09:49] (Flashback) Sharon**
I'm impressed! You've raised
three fine children at your age,
**[09:54] (Flashback) Sharon**
and are even taking over for your
husband while he's in the hospital...
**[09:58] (Flashback) Gerbera**
That's only because my
father-in-law helps me.
**[10:00] (Flashback) Gerbera**
I'm not that perfect.
**[10:03] (Flashback) Gerbera**
I'm always too harsh on my children.
**[10:07] (Flashback) Gerbera**
Some people say that's how a noble
should educate their children,
**[10:10] (Flashback) Gerbera**
but the truth is I just don't
know how to interact with others.
**[10:15] (Flashback) Gerbera**
My father-in-law and my husband
accept me for who I am.
**[10:19] (Flashback) Gerbera**
But I don't even know how
I'm supposed to thank them.
**[10:22] (Flashback) Gerbera**
I don't even have anyone I can call a friend.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Sharon**
Then I'll be your Friend #1!
**[10:31] (Flashback) Sharon**
Oh, sorry. I'm so silly...
**[10:34] (Flashback) Sharon**
I'm sorry, really...
**[10:41] (Flashback) Gerbera**
Gerbera. Call me "Gerbera."
**[10:45] (Flashback) Gerbera**
And treat me like an equal
when it's just the two of us.
**[10:48] (Flashback) Sharon**
All right, Gerbera.
**[10:50] (Flashback) Sharon**
From now on, we're private friends!
**[10:52] (Flashback) Sharon**
Oh, that sounded a little naughty, didn't it?
**[10:56] Gerbera**
* And so I found whatever*
* it was I was looking for.*
**[10:59] Gerbera**
* Sharon was always so cheerful,*
* everyone loved her,*
**[11:02] Gerbera**
*and I was secretly proud of her.*
**[11:05] (Flashback) Gerbera**
I love you.
**[11:07] (Flashback) Gerbera**
But not romantically.
**[11:11] (Flashback) Sharon**
You're more passionate
than I thought you were...
**[11:16] (Flashback) Sharon**
I'm blushing!
**[11:18] (Flashback) Sharon**
Hearing you say it like that...
**[11:21] (Flashback) Gerbera**
If I said something strange, I take it back.
**[11:23] (Flashback) Sharon**
No, it's wonderful.
**[11:25] Gerbera**
* Not long after this, my father-in-law*
* Victor died, and my eldest son was cursed.*
**[11:30] Gerbera**
* And at the same time, Sharon*
* Lendrott suddenly disappeared.*
**[11:36] Gerbera**
But if you're back, I welcome you.
**[11:39] Gerbera**
Thank you, Sharon.
**[11:40] Sharon**
Yes, of course, I'll work hard!
**[11:45] Sharon**
Hey, Gerbera.
**[11:48] Sharon**
Do you still love me?
**[11:55] Sharon**
You're ignoring me.
**[12:06] Duke**
8.5... I guess I've been running
around a little too much lately.
**[12:10] Alice**
Your exhaustion's caught up with you.
**[12:12] Alice**
You've been working hard, Your Grace.
**[12:16] Duke**
Why are you dressed like that?
**[12:18] Duke**
Am I seeing things?
**[12:20] Alice**
I thought it would help your recovery.
**[12:24] Duke**
It's making my fever worse!
**[12:27] Alice**
I'll change back to my usual outfit, then.
**[12:30] Duke**
Don't take your clothes off!
**[12:32] Alice**
I've prepared a medicinal herb porridge.
**[12:35] Alice**
Here. Say, "Aah."
**[12:37] Duke**
I can eat it myself.
**[12:39] Alice**
"Aaah."
**[12:45] Duke**
If I have a cold, you might catch it.
**[12:48] Alice**
Want to see what happens if I kiss you?
**[12:49] Duke**
Don't risk your life for something like that!
**[12:52] Alice**
You're just so cute I can't help myself.
**[12:54] Duke**
Doesn't anything scare you?
**[12:56] Alice**
Not anymore.
**[12:59] Alice**
You mustn't let your body get cold from
the sweat. Change before you go to sleep.
**[13:05] Duke**
Thanks.
**[13:06] Alice**
Why did you close the curtain?
**[13:08] Duke**
"Why?"
**[13:10] Duke**
I'm going to sleep. You can go.
**[13:14] Alice**
You're so shy.
**[13:17] Alice**
I'll be back later.
**[13:19] Alice**
Goodnight.
**[13:22] Duke**
*I really do love you, Alice.*
**[13:25] Duke**
* If my curse broke and I told you I wanted*
* you to be my lover, what would you say?*
**[13:31] Duke**
*It might upset you, right?*
**[13:34] Duke**
*If I could read people's minds—*
**[13:36] Duke**
* know the answer to my*
* questions before I asked—*
**[13:39] Duke**
*I might despair.*
**[13:44] Duke**
* Zain said that "love" was*
* an important word for Sade.*
**[13:49] Duke**
* Did she seek true love because*
* she could read others' minds?*
**[13:55] Duke**
*Maybe she was a pure-hearted person.*
**[13:59] Daleth**
Paperwork, all day, every day...
**[14:03] Daleth**
Why do I have to be the Underworld boss?
**[14:06] Bunny**
Don't be such a whiner.
**[14:08] Bunny**
Work hard, and I'll let you take
a break on the beach again.
**[14:12] Daleth**
It's like you're the real boss here.
**[14:14] Daleth**
Why are you acting like
you're a regular here now?
**[14:17] Bunny**
Come on, the deadline for this issue
of *Wacky Witches Monthly* is today.
**[14:22] Bunny**
I'll be waiting, so don't let me down!
***SIGN*** You Too Can Totes Be Human!
**[14:32] Daleth**
I can't wait to be human like Walter
and quit running the Underworld.
**[14:37] Daleth**
That's why I need Sade to live.
**[14:42] Daleth**
But if I can't persuade her...
**[14:46] Daleth**
Keto! Teto!
**[14:47] Keto**
Daleth!
**[14:49] Keto**
We're just about to go drink a
tapioca-style frog egg shake!
**[14:52] Keto**
Want to come with?
**[14:54] Daleth**
You're the next Underworld boss.
**[14:57] Daleth**
Thanks.
**[14:58] Keto**
Wait! I can't be the Underworld boss!
**[15:01] Daleth**
You're the next Underworld boss.
You're the next Underworld boss.
**[15:04] Teto**
What's gotten into you?
**[15:05] Daleth**
You're the next Underworld boss.
**[15:07] Keto**
You turned into a robot!
**[15:11] Teto**
A book that makes you human?
**[15:13] Daleth**
Yes. I will gather the thousand items
and complete the thousand steps.
**[15:17] Daleth**
And I will become human.
**[15:19] Keto**
And that's why you want me to take your job.
**[15:22] Teto**
But all these items are really rare...
**[15:27] Teto**
Uwah! It says the last step is a kiss!
**[15:30] Keto**
This book is perverted!
**[15:33] Daleth**
H-How do I ask someone for a kiss?
***SIGN*** Ka-
thud
**[15:41] Teto**
Like, "Let's kiss!"
**[15:48] Keto**
Turn them to face you and force a kiss?
**[15:53] Daleth**
*Walter... I...*
**[15:56] Daleth**
*I will become human, just like you.*
**[15:59] Daleth**
* I'll persuade Sade. I'll find*
* someone to take my job as boss.*
***SIGN*** You Too Can Totes Be Human!
**[16:08] Daleth**
*So just wait for me, Walter.*
***SIGN*** I am presently... free!
**[16:16] Cuff**
Come back soon!
**[16:17] Zain**
There's a pickpocket out there who targets
women, so all my fans, be careful!
**[16:23] Customers**
Okay!
**[16:38] Cuff**
That looked like Viola, right?
**[16:40] Zain**
Who was that?
**[16:41] Zain**
I'll go ask her name!
**[16:44] Zain**
No luck, huh?
**[16:49] Walter**
*The circus was such fun.*
**[16:51] Walter**
* When I was forbidden from leaving*
* the house today by Mother, it hurt.*
**[16:57] (Flashback) Viola**
Don't worry!
**[16:58] (Flashback) Viola**
Just put on your makeup and be back
by morning, and she'll never know!
**[17:02] (Flashback) Walter**
Makeup!
**[17:03] Walter**
*Thank you, Viola.*
**[17:04] Walter**
*I have such a great little sister.*
**[17:05] Men**
Hey, what now?
**[17:07] Men**
It's almost twelve. Let's go home.
**[17:09] Walter**
*That's ten and* two*!*
**[17:11] Walter**
*I didn't realize it was so late.*
**[17:13] Walter**
*Time to get home.*
***SIGN*** He used a blade to cut the strings?
***SIGN*** That's the pickpocket who's going after women!
***SIGN*** I'll stop you!
**[17:35] Cuff**
So hungry...
**[17:36] Zain**
So hungry...
***SIGN*** Zain, capture him!
**[17:42] Zain**
You're... Walter!
**[17:44] Zain**
You look like that, but
you're packing down there?
***SIGN*** You really piss me off!
**[17:56] Cuff**
What are you doing with that blade?
***SIGN*** Well done, Cuff.
**[18:03] Man**
Oww! Oww!
**[18:05] Cuff**
How do you know my name? That's suspicious!
***SIGN*** It's me! Walter!
**[18:15] Cuff**
You're beautiful. You look great.
**[18:17] Zain**
But he's packing down there.
**[18:19] Zain**
But he's packing down there!
**[18:21] Zain**
Packing down there!
**[18:22] Zain**
Down there!
**[18:24] Zain**
There!
**[18:25] Viola**
And so, he didn't get back until morning
because he had to talk to the police...
**[18:29] Viola**
But Mom forgave him because
he kept the town safe.
**[18:35] Viola**
But she said, "Stop dressing like a woman."
**[18:37] Viola**
And he said, "I can't do that!"
and started crying and arguing.
**[18:43] Viola**
He can't stop!
**[18:44] Duke**
Viola, I'm just getting better
from being sick, you know.
**[18:48] Duke**
Why don't you go talk to Rob?
**[18:50] Viola**
*He's napping! So cute!*
**[18:54] Viola**
*This is my first time in his room, too.*
**[18:56] Viola**
*There's so much stuff!*
**[19:04] Viola**
*He doesn't have his eyepatch on....*
**[19:12] Rob**
Who's there?
**[19:15] Viola**
Sorry for interrupting your nap!
**[19:18] Rob**
Oh, Viola.
**[19:20] Rob**
Were you curious what's beneath my eyepatch?
**[19:22] Viola**
Yes, I am.
**[19:24] Rob**
A laser eye!
**[19:25] Viola**
Pierce me with your gaze!
**[19:26] Rob**
That's a joke.
**[19:28] Rob**
I was in a fight years ago
which unfortunately blinded me.
**[19:33] Rob**
There's nothing more to it than that.
**[19:35] Viola**
I see.
**[19:36] Viola**
You were the kind of guy who
got into fights once, huh?
**[19:39] Viola**
There's a lot of stuff in here, though.
**[19:41] Rob**
Gifts, all of it.
**[19:43] Rob**
I can't throw them away,
so they keep growing in number...
**[19:46] Viola**
It's cool! It fits your personality!
**[19:48] Viola**
And a lot of it seems really neat.
**[19:51] Viola**
A music box!
**[19:52] Viola**
I love these!
**[19:59] Viola**
* Maybe he got it from a girl,*
* and it's an important memory?*
**[20:02] Viola**
*I'm so curious!*
**[20:03] Rob**
Look, the handkerchief
you gave me on Christmas.
**[20:08] Rob**
I always have it with me.
**[20:10] Viola**
*"I will love you forever and ever."*
**[20:16] Rob**
This is a handmade music box Master Victor
gave his wife on their anniversary.
**[20:23] Viola**
Grandpa gave it to Grandma?
**[20:26] Rob**
Yes. It was one of her greatest treasures.
**[20:32] Rob**
She took it with her on the trip they
took for their anniversary the year after.
**[20:35] Rob**
And on the way home, when she dropped it
**[20:38] Rob**
and went to pick it up,
a carriage approached, and...
**[20:48] Rob**
Now that they're both gone, I keep it here.
**[20:53] Rob**
When I hear this song,
I remember the two of them.
**[20:57] Rob**
I'm sorry... I've spoken too much.
**[21:02] Rob**
This isn't like me at all.
**[21:03] Viola**
Let's listen to it.
**[21:04] Viola**
It's a wonderful music box.
**[21:06] Viola**
It's filled with my grandpa's
love for my grandma.
**[21:10] Viola**
I want to hear it.
**[21:46] Viola**
Rob... I'll listen to it with you.

The Duke, Alice, and Sade's Love
**[01:42] Alice**
Is there something I can do for you?
**[01:45] Liz**
I apologize for the sudden intrusion.
**[01:47] Liz**
I was caught off guard by
the sudden thunderstorm.
**[01:49] Liz**
May I rest a while inside?
**[02:00] Liz**
I am Liz.
**[02:02] Liz**
Are you the only servant
in this huge mansion?
**[02:07] Alice**
There's a butler here, as well.
**[02:09] Alice**
The reasons for that are... complicated.
**[02:12] Alice**
I'll explain after introducing
the master of the mansion.
**[02:18] Alice**
What brings you to the
forest at this late hour?
**[02:20] Liz**
Huh? Well...
**[02:25] Liz**
I'm not anybody suspicious!
**[02:27] Liz**
I'm traveling on a journey with my husband.
**[02:30] Liz**
And we have a relationship with both
the mansion and its young master...
**[02:34] Alice**
You know His Grace?
**[02:37] Alice**
Where is your husband now?
**[02:39] Liz**
He'll be here later.
**[02:41] Alice**
I'm afraid I can't simply
take you to His Grace.
**[02:44] Alice**
Your splendid clothes aren't
wet despite the sudden rain...
**[02:49] Liz**
"Splendid"? How kind of you...
**[02:51] Alice**
I'm sorry, but are you a witch?
**[03:00] Alice**
I inspired tremendous laughter, I see.
**[03:02] Liz**
I'm sorry. I do love a good joke.
**[03:06] Liz**
People call me Liz the Laugher.
**[03:09] Sharon**
*Alice! Alice!*
**[03:11] Alice**
I see.
**[03:13] Liz**
Yes, thank you.
**[03:16] Liz**
You're very kind. That's good to see.
**[03:20] Liz**
Oh, my. What room was this again?
**[03:23] Alice**
I'm afraid you can't simply
open doors without asking...
**[03:25] Liz**
Oh, sorry. I couldn't help myself.
**[03:28] Liz**
Hey, that door's a little open, isn't it?
**[03:34] Liz**
Oh, my. I've found the butler, I see.
**[03:42] Liz**
Look how old he's grown.
**[03:50] Duke**
Alice, is something wrong?
**[03:52] Alice**
Your Grace, you have a visitor.
**[03:55] Alice**
Liz?
**[03:56] Duke**
What? Alice?
**[03:59] Liz**
Sorry, I'm actually dead!
**[04:03] Liz**
I'm his grandmother!
**[04:05] Duke**
What? Are you seeing something again?
**[04:08] Alice**
So your husband who's
traveling with you, then...
**[04:12] Liz**
He'll arrive shortly.
**[04:14] Duke**
Your Grace, please put on
the glasses Zain gave you.
**[04:21] Victor**
It's been so very long...
**[04:28] Duke**
I can see her!
**[04:30] Duke**
But I can't hear her.
**[04:33] Alice**
I think these go in your ears.
**[04:35] Duke**
My grandmother's watching!
**[04:38] Liz**
This is our first time meeting, yes?
**[04:40] Liz**
I'm your grandmother, Liz.
**[04:43] Duke**
Hello.
**[04:44] Duke**
I've seen you in a painting
in our family home.
**[04:47] Liz**
Oh, it's hung up there now?
**[04:50] Liz**
I asked the artist to make me look beautiful.
**[04:56] Liz**
But when we saw the finished picture,
Victor and I laughed. He'd taken it too far!
**[04:58] Duke**
* She's so cheerful it's hard to*
* believe she's my grandmother.*
**[05:03] Duke**
*Something reminds me of Sharon...*
**[05:06] (Flashback) Sharon**
Your Grace!
**[05:08] Alice**
Here you are.
**[05:09] Liz**
Thank you, Alice, but ghosts
can't drink liquids.
**[05:13] Liz**
I'll enjoy the scent.
**[05:15] Duke**
*She's so charming.*
**[05:17] Liz**
This is a bit late to ask,
but don't ghosts creep you out?
**[05:21] Duke**
Not at all. I think you're very pretty.
**[05:23] Liz**
What a kind grandson I have!
**[05:25] Liz**
I came here with Victor, your grandfather.
**[05:29] Liz**
He's quite fond of this mansion,
**[05:31] Liz**
and said he wanted to take a long
look at it from the outside.
**[05:35] Alice**
The two of you are traveling?
**[05:38] Liz**
Yes.
**[05:39] Liz**
I'm afraid we can't stay here long.
**[05:42] Duke**
I wish you could.
**[05:44] Liz**
I'm afraid fate won't allow that.
**[05:48] Liz**
We have a contract with a witch named Sade.
**[05:51] Duke**
Sade!
**[05:52] Liz**
Yes. I've never met her,
but in life, Victor...
**[05:57] Duke**
Could you tell me more?
**[06:00] Duke**
It may be a hint for breaking my curse!
**[06:03] Liz**
What? "Curse"?
**[06:07] Duke**
You didn't know?
**[06:10] Liz**
I wondered why it was
just the three of you...
**[06:13] Liz**
Don't tell me...
**[06:14] Liz**
We should've come sooner, perhaps.
**[06:17] Victor**
I apologize for arriving late.
**[06:19] Duke**
Grandfather!
**[06:20] Liz**
Darling!
**[06:22] Victor**
I believe it's my first time
seeing you in this form.
**[06:25] Victor**
I'm a ghost, though, so I can't help it.
**[06:27] Liz**
This is serious! No joking around!
**[06:31] Liz**
He's cursed! Our grandson
is suffering terribly!
**[06:36] Liz**
We should've come here a long time ago!
**[06:39] Victor**
Liz, calm down a little, would you?
**[06:42] Liz**
There's no time for calming down!
**[06:44] Victor**
Liz...
**[06:44] Liz**
But what can I do?
**[06:46] Victor**
Liz?
**[06:47] Liz**
All I can do is support
my grandson and Alice!
**[06:51] Victor**
See? You're up so high!
**[06:55] Victor**
I love this side of my wife.
**[06:57] Duke**
Y-You do, huh?
**[06:59] Victor**
You've both grown up so much...
**[07:02] Victor**
I haven't seen you since
you were kids, I believe?
**[07:04] Victor**
No, just before I passed away,
you came to the family home.
**[07:11] Duke**
You remembered?
**[07:13] Victor**
I remembered after seeing your face.
**[07:15] Victor**
Something was strange about you, I thought...
**[07:17] Victor**
I hadn't realized you'd come
from the future, though.
**[07:21] Victor**
Do you still play piano?
**[07:22] Duke**
Yes, almost every day.
**[07:24] Victor**
Excellent.
**[07:26] Victor**
I've always thought you had talent, you know.
**[07:29] Victor**
If you're still doing it, that
makes me happy as your grandparent.
**[07:33] Duke**
Grandfather,
**[07:36] Duke**
I've always wanted to be like you.
**[07:38] Liz**
Oh, my!
**[07:40] Liz**
What if your grandson takes
after everything about you?
**[07:44] Liz**
You have a filthiness about
you that's not very noble.
**[07:46] Victor**
I don't know what to tell you...
**[07:50] Victor**
So, what's this about a curse?
**[07:54] Victor**
Does Sade have something to do with it?
**[07:56] Victor**
What's she doing these days?
**[07:58] Duke**
Sade's dead.
**[08:01] Duke**
She cursed me and Sharon,
and then the wizards killed her.
**[08:07] Victor**
You... and Sharon, too?
**[08:11] Victor**
Perhaps it's my fault.
**[08:13] Victor**
Because I didn't do enough.
**[08:32] Victor**
My beloved wife passed away.
**[08:36] Victor**
If I hadn't given her that present...
**[08:39] Victor**
If we hadn't left on that
trip for our anniversary...
**[08:41] Victor**
If I hadn't taken my eyes off
her for that one moment...
**[08:44] Victor**
She might have survived.
**[08:48] Victor**
I didn't know what to do.
**[08:54] Victor**
I couldn't even stay by
the side of my young son.
**[09:06] (Flashback) Sade**
Greetings.
**[09:07] (Flashback) Sade**
Something on your mind?
**[09:11] (Flashback) Victor**
And who might you be?
**[09:12] (Flashback) Sade**
Sade. The most powerful witch in the world.
**[09:16] (Flashback) Victor**
Witch?
**[09:17] (Flashback) Sade**
Yes. A race of naughty creatures
who like to cast spells.
**[09:20] (Flashback) Sade**
You've heard the rumors, I assume.
**[09:24] (Flashback) Victor**
I see.
**[09:25] (Flashback) Victor**
I've never met a real one before.
**[09:27] (Flashback) Victor**
Give me an autograph.
**[09:28] (Flashback) Sade**
Hey, you're supposed to be scared!
**[09:31] (Flashback) Victor**
I'm a man of faith.
**[09:33] (Flashback) Victor**
If there's a God, then it stands to
reason that there are witches as well.
**[09:37] (Flashback) Victor**
That's all there is to it.
**[09:38] (Flashback) Victor**
And God is real. For now,
I desperately want to believe that.
**[09:46] (Flashback) Sade**
I'm the one who'd like an autograph.
**[09:48] (Flashback) Sade**
Make a contract with me.
**[09:50] (Flashback) Victor**
A contract?
**[09:52] (Flashback) Sade**
Tell me your dream.
**[09:54] (Flashback) Sade**
I'll grant any wish you have.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Victor**
My dream will never come true.
**[10:00] (Flashback) Victor**
I'd promised to travel
the world with my wife.
**[10:04] (Flashback) Victor**
But she's dead.
**[10:07] (Flashback) Sade**
It will come true.
**[10:09] (Flashback) Sade**
But only after your death.
**[10:13] (Flashback) Sade**
You and Liz can become ghosts
and travel the world forever.
**[10:18] (Flashback) Sade**
Normally, not everyone
who dies becomes a ghost.
**[10:23] (Flashback) Sade**
But this contract will guarantee it.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Victor**
And what is the price I pay?
**[10:27] (Flashback) Sade**
Hmm... since it's for the two of you,
I'd say twenty years of your life.
**[10:32] (Flashback) Victor**
My life?
**[10:34] (Flashback) Sade**
You'll die twenty years before
your designated time.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Sade**
I don't know when that is,
**[10:39] (Flashback) Sade**
but when the time comes,
you'll pass peacefully in your sleep.
**[10:42] (Flashback) Victor**
And what will you do with
these years of my life?
**[10:45] (Flashback) Sade**
I'll turn them into magical
power and get stronger.
**[10:48] (Flashback) Sade**
Or perhaps I'll simply throw them in the trash.
**[10:50] (Flashback) Victor**
You're telling the truth?
**[10:54] (Flashback) Victor**
If I die, will I really...
**[10:57] (Flashback) Victor**
be able to see Liz again?
**[10:59] (Flashback) Sade**
The contract doesn't lie.
And it can't be broken.
**[11:02] (Flashback) Sade**
Not by you, or me.
**[11:04] (Flashback) Sade**
Now sign it. Hurry.
**[11:18] Victor**
* Witches are an entirely*
* different race from mankind.*
**[11:22] Victor**
*They use a variety of spells and fear fire.*
**[11:25] Victor**
* For convenience's sake, even the*
* men are often called witches...*
**[11:29] Sade**
*You're reading up on me?*
**[11:31] (Flashback) Victor**
Sade, you are trespassing.
**[11:34] (Flashback) Sade**
That's meaningless to a witch.
**[11:36] (Flashback) Victor**
What do you want?
**[11:38] (Flashback) Sade**
It doesn't matter, does it?
**[11:40] (Flashback) Sade**
We're friends.
**[11:42] (Flashback) Victor**
We're not friends. I don't
know a thing about you.
**[11:47] (Flashback) Sade**
How dare you speak to me that way.
**[11:50] (Flashback) Sade**
Don't you know I'm the feared
boss of the Underworld?
**[11:54] (Flashback) Sade**
Everybody does what I tell them to.
**[11:56] (Flashback) Victor**
I told you, I know nothing about you.
**[11:59] (Flashback) Victor**
The contract's been made.
**[12:00] (Flashback) Victor**
Is there any further
reason for you to be here?
**[12:03] (Flashback) Sade**
I've taken an interest in you.
**[12:04] (Flashback) Sade**
You're so honest and unsuspecting
it almost makes you a fool.
**[12:09] (Flashback) Sade**
You're the first to sign so quickly.
**[12:12] (Flashback) Sade**
So I've decided to observe
you up close for a while.
**[12:17] (Flashback) Victor**
I don't mind.
**[12:19] (Flashback) Victor**
But make sure nobody
finds out you're a witch.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Victor**
I'm told that some people
dislike witches a good deal.
**[12:26] (Flashback) Victor**
You'd be in danger.
**[12:28] (Flashback) Sade**
What? I don't need your advice.
**[12:30] (Flashback) Sade**
I'm not so weak the
witch-hunters could take me.
**[12:32] (Flashback) Sade**
I'd simply kill them all first.
**[12:35] (Flashback) Sade**
And everything written here is made up.
**[12:39] (Flashback) Sade**
Witches aren't scared of fire.
**[12:43] (Flashback) Victor**
So what are witches scared of?
**[12:45] (Flashback) Sade**
Me!
**[12:53] Sade**
After that, Sade would come to
the mansion from time to time.
**[12:57] Sade**
Perhaps because of her clothes,
**[12:59] Sade**
she was simply considered to be one
of the many guests at the house.
**[13:03] (Flashback) Sade**
This is Daleth, my twin sister.
**[13:06] (Flashback) Daleth**
Hello.
**[13:08] (Flashback) Victor**
You're in the human world.
Shouldn't you take off the mask?
**[13:12] (Flashback) Daleth**
I can't. I'm ugly.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Sade**
You heard her.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Victor**
Aren't you twins, though?
**[13:21] (Flashback) Victor**
I've been wondering...
**[13:23] (Flashback) Victor**
Why the nun outfit?
**[13:26] (Flashback) Sade**
It was the one present my father gave me.
**[13:28] (Flashback) Sade**
He was rather weak to be my dad, though.
**[13:32] (Flashback) Sade**
Isn't it scary for a monster to
wear the clothes of a holy woman?
**[13:35] (Flashback) Sade**
That's why I wear it.
**[13:38] (Flashback) Victor**
You should learn to like more things.
**[13:44] (Flashback) Victor**
I'm talking about love.
**[13:45] (Flashback) Victor**
I want you to know love.
**[13:47] (Flashback) Victor**
I hope you can learn to love
your little sister, or friends,
**[13:52] (Flashback) Victor**
the same way I love Liz and my son.
**[13:54] (Flashback) Sade**
Why? I love myself most of all.
**[13:57] (Flashback) Victor**
I see.
**[13:58] (Flashback) Victor**
That's also important, but...
**[14:01] (Flashback) Sade**
Do you love Liz best?
**[14:03] (Flashback) Victor**
Yes.
**[14:04] (Flashback) Victor**
She's tied for first with my son.
**[14:09] (Flashback) Sade**
I hear what other people think,
whether I want to or not.
**[14:14] (Flashback) Sade**
So I can tell you truly care for Liz.
**[14:18] (Flashback) Sade**
Only Daleth knows about this power, though.
**[14:22] (Flashback) Victor**
I knew.
**[14:24] (Flashback) Victor**
When we first met, you called my wife Liz
before I could even say her name, right?
**[14:30] (Flashback) Victor**
Later, I realized how strange that was.
**[14:34] (Flashback) Victor**
You didn't bring it up, so I figured
you wanted to keep it a secret.
**[14:37] (Flashback) Victor**
I tried to avoid thinking
about it as best I could.
**[14:41] (Flashback) Victor**
Why'd you suddenly decide to tell me?
**[14:46] (Flashback) Sade**
I don't know, exactly.
**[14:51] (Flashback) Sade**
But thank you for not saying anything.
**[14:58] Victor**
A long time passed after that.
**[15:01] Victor**
We moved to a new mansion.
**[15:03] Victor**
My son got married and
I gained three grandchildren.
**[15:07] Victor**
And I became very old.
**[15:13] (Flashback) Sharon**
Master! Good morning!
**[15:19] Victor**
That's about the time Sharon
came to the mansion.
**[15:24] Victor**
She had a seriously ill daughter
and no one to rely on.
**[15:29] Victor**
I couldn't just leave her.
**[15:32] Victor**
Sharon was so cheerful that she
quickly became friends with everyone.
**[15:37] Victor**
I enjoyed her chipper nature, as well.
**[15:48] (Flashback) Sade**
The new maid... Is she your favorite?
**[15:53] (Flashback) Victor**
She's a friend, and I owe her my life.
**[15:58] (Flashback) Sade**
She's similar to how you describe Liz.
**[16:03] (Flashback) Victor**
She is.
**[16:12] (Flashback) Sade**
Well, whatever.
**[16:13] (Flashback) Sade**
It seems you're telling the
truth about her being a friend.
**[16:16] (Flashback) Sade**
If you don't belong to anyone, I don't care.
**[16:20] Victor**
Looking back, I should've given more
thought to what Sade was feeling.
**[16:27] Victor**
But at the time, I was
far too dense to do that.
**[16:33] (Flashback) Sade**
Hey, would you like to be friends with me?
**[16:37] (Flashback) Sharon**
Sure!
**[16:39] (Flashback) Victor**
Oh, are you friends?
**[16:42] (Flashback) Sharon**
Oh, Master! We just met!
**[16:45] (Flashback) Sharon**
Sade's amazing!
**[16:47] (Flashback) Sharon**
Her fortune-telling is super accurate!
**[16:49] (Flashback) Victor**
I see.
**[16:50] (Flashback) Victor**
Sharon's a good person.
**[16:51] (Flashback) Victor**
Be kind to her.
**[17:33] Victor**
And then one day, it finally
came time for me to die.
**[17:39] Victor**
My body wouldn't move, and my
vision went blurry and hazy.
**[17:52] (Flashback) Victor**
Is that you, Sharon?
**[17:56] (Flashback) Sade**
Victor, it's time for the
contract to be fulfilled.
**[18:00] (Flashback) Victor**
I see... I can finally see Liz again, then...
**[18:14] (Flashback) Sade**
I lied when I said I was fine as long
as you didn't belong to someone else.
**[18:21] (Flashback) Sade**
The truth... was that I
wanted you to love me.
**[18:25] (Flashback) Sade**
Farewell, Victor.
**[18:28] (Flashback) Sade**
Farewell.
**[18:35] Victor**
Perhaps all I did was
change her for the worse
**[18:38] Victor**
and then leave her in the worst way possible.
**[18:44] Duke**
After that...
**[18:46] Duke**
I think Sade's feelings changed
from jealousy to hatred.
**[18:51] Duke**
But... back then... when
she cursed me, Sade...
**[18:58] (Flashback) Sade**
I want you to lead a miserable life...
never loving anyone, or being loved in turn...
**[19:03] Duke**
As she said that, she held me in her arms...
**[19:05] Duke**
She held me in her arms!
**[19:07] Duke**
Even though she didn't need
to hold me to do the curse...
**[19:12] Duke**
She was suffering, too.
**[19:14] Duke**
She was suffering, but no one understood.
**[19:18] Duke**
And she couldn't tell anyone.
**[19:22] Duke**
That's just like how I used to be!
**[19:25] Duke**
If someone had been there
who'd truly understood Sade...
**[19:30] Duke**
Something would've been different!
**[19:33] Duke**
But she died all alone.
**[19:37] Duke**
That's so sad...
**[19:40] Duke**
She has to live!
**[19:43] Duke**
I'll go back before she died,
and bring her back here no matter what!
**[19:46] Duke**
I don't want to let her die!
**[19:57] (Flashback) Sade**
What are you doing, child?
**[19:59] (Flashback) Duke**
Looking for a four-leaf clover
for Alice, the girl I love!
**[20:04] Duke**
I'm sorry. I've finally calmed down.
**[20:07] Duke**
I'm a crybaby, a wimp, a coward...
**[20:10] Duke**
I'm no good at all.
**[20:11] Liz**
You mustn't put yourself down like that!
**[20:14] Liz**
Anyway, I think we need to go...
**[20:18] Duke**
That's so soon!
**[20:20] Victor**
The goal of my contract with Sade
was to travel the world with Liz.
**[20:24] Victor**
If we stay in one place, we'll disappear.
**[20:27] Liz**
And the rule is that we can never
return to anywhere we've visited once.
**[20:31] Liz**
So we were waiting for a very
special time to visit the mansion.
**[20:35] Alice**
And that's why you didn't
know about His Grace's curse.
**[20:38] Victor**
We happened to be passing by today.
**[20:41] Victor**
We were feeling nostalgic and came
here without realizing you lived here.
**[20:46] Liz**
We thought it was abandoned.
**[20:48] Liz**
I'm glad I got to see you two!
**[20:52] Duke**
Do you want to speak to Rob?
**[20:55] Duke**
Rob!
**[20:57] Rob**
Yes, I am Rob.
**[20:59] Duke**
Put these glasses on.
**[21:01] Duke**
And put these into your ears.
**[21:03] Rob**
I suppose I am of that age now...
**[21:06] Duke**
They're not reading glasses, okay?
**[21:22] Rob**
Wh-What am I seeing?
**[21:25] Rob**
Yes... er, yes.
**[21:28] Duke**
Well? Are they happy?
**[21:31] Alice**
I can't see a thing.
**[21:34] Alice**
But I feel as if I can see the two
of them standing close to him.
**[21:43] Duke**
Did you get to talk to them a whole lot?
**[21:44] Rob**
Yes. I was able to say so many thank-yous.
**[21:48] Victor**
Now, it's time for us to go.
**[21:51] Victor**
It's a shame I'll never be able
to come back to this mansion.
**[21:54] Victor**
Perhaps I can at least take this with me?
**[21:57] Liz**
You're so silly!
**[21:59] Liz**
You can't act like that! What if
your grandson starts imitating you?
**[22:02] Duke**
Even dead, he still seems
like he's having fun.
**[22:03] Alice**
Yes.
**[22:06] Victor**
This is the route we're planning on taking.
**[22:10] Victor**
I don't know if we can be of any use to you,
**[22:12] Victor**
but come see us anytime.
**[22:15] Victor**
Sade is a dear friend to me.
**[22:18] Victor**
Take care of her.
**[22:20] Duke**
Yes.
**[22:22] Liz**
Alice, take care of yourself,
and say goodbye to Rob for us.
**[22:27] Alice**
I will, thank you.
**[22:28] Rob**
Um... What's going on right now?
**[22:32] Victor**
Until we meet again, then.
**[22:34] Liz**
Farewell!
**[22:46] Duke**
They were very kind people, huh?
**[22:48] Alice**
Yes.
**[22:51] Duke**
I was cursed, forced to live here...
**[22:55] Duke**
It's been hard.
**[22:56] Duke**
But I'm glad I was born into this family.

**[00:35] Ringmaster**
Good morning, Amelia.
**[00:39] Ringmaster**
Will toast do for breakfast?
**[00:43] Amelia**
Thank you...
**[00:45] Ringmaster**
There's also fried octopus balls.
**[00:49] Amelia**
Huh? Fried octopus balls?
**[00:52] Amelia**
Not fried octopus balls...
**[00:54] Daleth**
You prefer sashimi?
***SIGN*** Episode 29
Dance Party (Part 1)
**[02:31] Daleth**
According to this, I need a
mermaid's scale to become human.
**[02:35] Amelia**
You want to be human, huh?
**[02:38] Daleth**
What about you?
**[02:39] Amelia**
I'll pass.
**[02:40] Amelia**
I'm actually the one running
things around here,
**[02:43] Amelia**
and I prefer being underwater, too.
**[02:48] Amelia**
That's Atlantis, where the mermaids live.
**[02:52] Daleth**
Do mermaids just give you their scales?
**[02:56] Amelia**
They grow new ones once in a while.
**[02:59] Woman**
Who's that with Amelia?
**[03:01] All**
Sade?!
**[03:04] Daleth**
The place is empty, though.
**[03:06] Amelia**
They're all too scared of
you to show themselves.
**[03:09] Amelia**
This is Daleth.
**[03:11] Amelia**
Sade's twin sister, and the
boss of the land witches.
**[03:15] Amelia**
Don't worry. It's not Sade.
**[03:20] Daleth**
Maybe it's time to buy a new outfit...
**[03:23] Daleth**
This is the one present my
father ever gave me, but...
**[03:26] Woman**
Amelia!
**[03:28] Woman**
Do you want to join the
arm wrestling tournament?
**[03:31] Daleth**
Arm wrestling?
**[03:32] Daleth**
Why are the people here so... physical?
**[03:36] Daleth**
They're nothing like the lazy
witches in the Underworld.
**[03:38] Woman**
There's a prize if you win.
**[03:41] Daleth**
A prize...
**[03:42] Woman**
Yup!
**[03:44] Woman**
The winner gets a scale!
**[03:48] Daleth**
Why am I wrestling you?
**[03:50] Amelia**
I always wanted to beat you at something.
**[03:55] Daleth**
This is the hand that Walter touched.
**[03:57] Daleth**
I can't let anyone else
touch it and overwrite that.
**[04:00] Mermaid**
I see...
**[04:01] Amelia**
Okay, I guess...
**[04:03] Daleth**
*I'm sure I'll get the scale either way,*
**[04:06] Daleth**
* so I'll let Amelia win, since*
* she's the ruler of these seas.*
**[04:10] Mermaid**
Ready, go!
**[04:15] Daleth**
*You're not allowed to let me win!*
**[04:17] Daleth**
*You have to win this!*
**[04:20] Daleth**
Oops! I accidentally used my other hand, too.
**[04:23] Daleth**
Guess I lose.
**[04:26] Amelia**
I'm cheating more than
she is, so I lose, right?
**[04:29] Daleth**
I'm eating during the match, so I lose.
**[04:31] Woman**
Please just win the normal way.
**[04:34] Amelia**
Huh? You're using the hand
you didn't want to overwrite?
**[04:40] Woman**
The winner is Daleth.
**[04:44] Amelia**
Just have Walter hold your hand again, then.
**[04:48] Daleth**
You're right.
**[04:51] Daleth**
Thanks to you, I'm one step closer to him.
**[04:54] Daleth**
Thank you.
**[04:55] Amelia**
Well, just hang in there.
**[04:58] Amelia**
I was happy to see my friend again, you know.
**[05:02] Daleth**
Hey, I'd like to thank you somehow.
**[05:05] Daleth**
I'll use my power as Underworld
boss to grant any wish you have.
**[05:09] Amelia**
That's kind of a nasty way to put it.
**[05:12] Amelia**
Then please give a letter to my husband.
**[05:17] Amelia**
It's just... a shell I
whittled down here and there.
**[05:23] Amelia**
Tell him if he doesn't need it...
**[05:27] Amelia**
he can throw it away.
**[05:29] Amelia**
I won't mind.
**[05:33] Daleth**
Where did you go?
**[05:48] Ringmaster**
I got a love letter.
**[05:51] Duke**
Oh, you're here, Viola.
**[05:52] Viola**
Show some respect.
**[05:55] Viola**
Today, I'm not just Viola.
**[05:57] Viola**
I'm Viola the Designer.
**[06:00] Duke**
*Seems like a big upgrade.*
**[06:02] Alice**
And I am Alice, the seamstress.
**[06:05] Duke**
*S-She's so cute!*
**[06:07] Duke**
So, what are you making?
**[06:10] Viola**
An outfit for Daleth.
**[06:12] Viola**
People keep mistaking her for somebody else,
so she wants a new image, she says.
**[06:17] Duke**
Sade, huh?
**[06:19] Viola**
But her outfit was a present from
her father, so she wants to keep using it.
**[06:24] Viola**
So we're going to remake it.
**[06:27] Viola**
We'll make the color a chic black that
boldly brings out the best in her.
**[06:32] Viola**
A new arrangement!
**[06:33] Alice**
Wonderful.
**[06:35] Viola**
I can't do all the sewing myself,
so I'm having Alice help.
**[06:39] Duke**
It's amazing that you can make clothes!
**[06:41] Alice**
No, I'm just cutting and sewing
something that's already there.
**[06:48] Duke**
* Alice makes expressions like*
* these too, doesn't she?*
**[06:52] Alice**
I'm sorry. You must be bored.
**[06:56] Alice**
Let's talk about something.
**[06:57] Duke**
No, I'm sorry for interrupting.
**[06:59] Viola**
I sew fast, too.
**[07:01] Duke**
Don't get yourself hurt.
**[07:03] Viola**
I'll be fine.
**[07:04] Viola**
In the future, I'll learn to sew my
own clothes and make lots of cute—
**[07:10] Viola**
The hand of Viola the Designer!
**[07:13] Viola**
I don't want to do anything now.
**[07:15] Duke**
Want me to help?
**[07:17] Viola**
Don't screw it up.
**[07:19] Duke**
Okay.
**[07:21] Viola**
Sometimes I dream...
**[07:25] Viola**
About me and Rob getting married,
and us hiring Alice as a servant.
**[07:30] Viola**
We'll keep you as a pet, Brother.
**[07:32] Duke**
A pet, huh?
**[07:57] Alice**
It would be faster to use scissors, huh?
**[08:00] Duke**
*It was like she wanted me to see it,*
**[08:02] Duke**
*just now...*
**[08:03] Viola**
It's done! Look!
***SIGN*** Sound
it makes:
"Alliiicceee"
**[08:05] Viola**
This is a drawing of Brother as a pet!
**[08:07] Viola**
It always cries "Alliiicceee!"
**[08:09] Duke**
Viola the Designer, please do your job.
**[08:13] Viola**
I love the time we spend like this.
**[08:15] Duke**
Me, too.
**[08:16] Alice**
As do I.
**[08:19] Viola**
Looking good!
**[08:20] Viola**
You've got such long, pretty legs, Daleth.
I wanted to show them off.
**[08:24] Viola**
Most of the work was done by Alice, though.
**[08:27] Daleth**
I can't believe you made
this from that nun's habit.
**[08:32] Daleth**
I don't know if it looks good
on me, but... thank you.
**[08:37] Daleth**
Now I can wear the present my
father gave me as something new.
**[08:41] Daleth**
Fewer people will mistake me for Sade.
**[08:44] Viola**
Yup-yup.
**[08:45] Daleth**
I used to think that my very existence
was something to be ashamed of.
**[08:50] Daleth**
But thanks to you, I was able to change.
**[08:54] Viola**
Daleth!
***SIGN*** Viola, may I come in?
**[08:58] Viola**
Brother?
**[08:59] Daleth**
W-Wait! I'm not ready!
***SIGN*** I practiced the makeup and stuff on my own.
***SIGN*** What do you think?
**[09:15] Daleth**
S-So cute!
***SIGN*** You're cute too, Daleth.
***SIGN*** You changed your outfit, I see.
**[09:22] Daleth**
Y-Yes.
**[09:25] Daleth**
*He held my hand again!*
**[09:27] Viola**
*What's with these guys?*
**[09:31] Evelyn**
Hey, junior.
**[09:37] Duke**
I'm sorry for screaming.
**[09:39] Evelyn**
It's fine.
**[09:41] Alice**
Evelyn, what brings you here?
**[09:44] Evelyn**
I was told to check on a junior
classmate and write a report.
**[09:48] Evelyn**
The others are all out writing
their own reports, too.
**[09:52] Evelyn**
Wow, you really were a
noble and his maid, huh?
**[09:55] Evelyn**
You all just wore uniforms at the school.
**[09:58] Evelyn**
Hey, jump for me, rich kid.
**[10:01] Duke**
*What?*
**[10:02] Evelyn**
Let me borrow Alice, too.
**[10:04] Duke**
No way!
**[10:05] Evelyn**
Aww, come on!
**[10:08] Alice**
I don't think I'll ever
serve anyone but His Grace.
**[10:13] Alice**
Right, Your Grace?
**[10:15] Duke**
Y-Yeah.
**[10:16] Duke**
That would make me happy.
**[10:21] Evelyn**
That was like a scene from the
romance novels I love to read.
**[10:25] Duke**
*She didn't strike me as the type.*
**[10:27] Evelyn**
"The poor helpless maid does
whatever her master desires..."
**[10:30] Duke**
Don't put that in your report!
**[10:32] Duke**
By the way, how's everybody
from school doing?
**[10:35] Duke**
I haven't heard a word from Mr. Nico.
**[10:38] Evelyn**
Oh, he and Ms. Ichi are practicing
and getting ready for the fight.
**[10:43] Evelyn**
They said if they got serious
it would destroy the school,
**[10:45] Evelyn**
so they're going deep into
the forest every day.
**[10:47] Duke**
Ready for the fight, huh?
**[10:49] Evelyn**
And so we get to study
with Mr. Flea every day!
**[10:54] Duke**
You know, I've been wondering.
Why do you all like Mr. Flea so much?
**[10:58] Evelyn**
You didn't know?
**[11:00] Evelyn**
Mr. Flea is super strong!
**[11:04] Evelyn**
He used to work for Sade!
**[11:09] Duke**
But wouldn't Daleth have recognized him?
**[11:13] Evelyn**
He changed it all.
**[11:15] Evelyn**
His name, his face, his voice, his magic.
**[11:18] Evelyn**
All of it.
**[11:20] Evelyn**
After Sade was defeated, he met Mr. Nico.
**[11:26] Evelyn**
He was finally free from Sade,
so he decided to live a new life.
**[11:33] Duke**
And he became someone totally different?
**[11:36] Evelyn**
He doesn't hide his past, though.
**[11:39] Evelyn**
If he wanted to hide it,
I wouldn't tell you guys about it.
**[11:43] Evelyn**
So that's why we all love him!
**[11:46] Evelyn**
I'm studying books to learn about
romance and working really hard!
**[11:50] Duke**
But we all have to face
Sade again with Mr. Nico.
**[11:56] Duke**
That has to be hard for him.
**[11:58] Evelyn**
That's not true.
**[12:00] Evelyn**
He said it's a good chance
to overcome his past.
**[12:03] Evelyn**
Okay, my report's done!
**[12:06] Duke**
You sure write huge!
**[12:08] Duke**
Hey, Evelyn, you can hide anywhere, right?
**[12:13] Duke**
Like when you came out of the wall.
**[12:15] Duke**
Could you go inside Sade?
**[12:18] Evelyn**
If I get close, sure.
**[12:20] Evelyn**
I can control people if I get inside them.
**[12:23] Evelyn**
Like this!
**[12:33] Alice**
Master, I love you!
**[12:38] Evelyn**
It's great to have a lover!
**[12:41] Alice**
Evelyn...
**[12:52] Duke**
Look, Alice, the birds are singing.
**[12:54] Duke**
It'll be spring soon.
**[13:03] Duke**
It's almost spring already...
**[13:05] Duke**
That's the deadline for when
I have to break my curse.
**[13:08] Duke**
Mr. Nico, how long do I have to wait?!
**[13:14] Alice**
Yes.
**[13:16] Duke**
Maybe I can just keep pretending she meant
next spring until next summer comes...
**[13:19] Duke**
But either way, I'll have to go back
to the family home to talk to her.
**[13:25] Cuff**
You goin' back home?
**[13:27] Duke**
Cuff? Yeah...
**[13:28] Duke**
I guess.
**[13:29] Cuff**
I'll take you, then.
**[13:31] Duke**
How?
**[13:38] Duke**
I'm not going to fall? You're sure it's okay?
**[13:42] Cuff**
Don't worry.
**[13:43] Duke**
How can you carry us with that tiny body?
**[13:47] Cuff**
How does it feel to ride?
**[13:48] Alice**
It's fun.
**[13:55] Viola**
I'm so nervous!
**[13:57] Viola**
I'll practice a little more.
**[13:58] Cuff**
Let's play!
**[14:01] Cuff**
Viola!
**[14:03] Cuff**
Let's play!
**[14:06] Alice**
Are you okay?
**[14:08] Duke**
Something seems... different than usual.
**[14:08] Cuff**
Let's play! Viola!
**[14:11] Alice**
Yes.
**[14:12] Alice**
It seems there are many guests.
**[14:17] Viola**
Shaddup!
**[14:21] Duke**
She's really mad.
**[14:23] Cuff**
Viola!
**[14:24] Viola**
That's the outfit I chose for you!
**[14:26] Cuff**
It's my going-out wear!
**[14:30] Viola**
Well, come inside, I guess.
**[14:31] Duke**
She's in a slightly better mood!
**[14:34] Duke**
A dance party?
**[14:35] Viola**
Yeah. That's why I'm practicing my violin.
**[14:39] Viola**
Everybody's been busy all
day preparing for it.
**[14:43] Duke**
Then maybe I'll go home.
**[14:45] Viola**
Stay here!
**[14:46] Viola**
It's going to be incredibly boring!
Who am I supposed to talk to?
**[14:50] Duke**
You haven't forgotten
about my curse, have you?
**[14:53] Viola**
Mom's here.
**[14:55] Viola**
You need to talk to her, right?
**[14:56] Duke**
Thanks.
**[14:59] Duke**
M-Mother, it's me.
**[15:01] Duke**
Sorry for coming back
without sending a letter.
**[15:03] Duke**
I need to talk to you about...
**[15:09] Mom**
I have guests.
**[15:11] Mom**
Do not disturb me.
**[15:14] Viola**
Bad timing, I guess.
**[15:16] Duke**
If you knew, you should've said something!
**[15:18] Cuff**
Viola! Is there anything cool I can see?
**[15:22] Viola**
I can show you something rare.
**[15:24] Duke**
Something rare?
**[15:29] Viola**
Walter being introduced to the guests'
daughters and having to talk to them...
**[15:37] Duke**
He's acting like a nobleman!
**[15:38] Cuff**
He *is* a nobleman.
**[15:40] Duke**
Who's the girl?
**[15:42] Viola**
Philip's little sister.
**[15:44] Viola**
She used to come here all the time.
**[15:46] Duke**
Oh, you're right.
**[15:48] Sister**
You're so mature, Walter!
***SIGN*** I am the eldest, after all!
**[15:54] Duke**
He's lying with a smile on his face...
**[15:56] Duke**
But is that okay?
**[15:57] Duke**
If Daleth saw this...
**[16:09] Duke**
Daleth?
**[16:10] Viola**
It's fine, it's fine!
**[16:12] Viola**
It's not an arranged marriage
meeting or anything!
**[16:15] Viola**
I know! Why don't you just tell
him you like him right now?
**[16:18] Duke**
Right now?
**[16:19] Cuff**
Daleth, cheer up! You're the strongest!
**[16:22] Viola**
Cuff, you're being loud!
**[16:24] Duke**
Calm down!
**[16:26] Cuff**
I've got practice, so I'm
going back to Gemini.
**[16:30] Duke**
Just all of a sudden?
**[16:31] Cuff**
Bye!
**[16:32] Duke**
You can't just walk off like that!
**[16:33] Sister**
Something's going on outside, huh?
***SIGN*** Sorry.
***SIGN*** Don't worry, I'll kill him someday.
**[16:39] Sister**
Oh, you're going to ki...
***SIGN*** Kill him.
**[16:42] Duke**
I'll come back some other time.
**[16:45] Viola**
Today's just a dance party, so that's fine.
**[16:49] Viola**
But if you just stare at him from a distance,
you may run out of time someday!
**[16:54] Viola**
You need to take action before
Mom decides who he'll marry.
**[16:58] Duke**
You're not even dating anyone yourself!
**[17:00] Viola**
But I love telling people how
to handle their relationships!
**[17:02] Daleth**
How, though?
**[17:04] Viola**
Don't worry. I know somebody who always
makes it really clear what they're thinking!
**[17:08] Sharon**
Alice!
**[17:10] Sharon**
You're here?
**[17:12] Sharon**
Oh, and hello, Your Grace.
**[17:14] Sharon**
Oh, and Daleth! Hello!
**[17:16] Sharon**
Your dress is so cute!
**[17:18] Sharon**
And that's a great color for you, too!
**[17:20] Sharon**
That's wonderful! Just perfect!
**[17:22] Daleth**
Thank you...
**[17:24] Daleth**
It really is clear you mean it...
**[17:25] Daleth**
I'm glad, though.
**[17:26] Viola**
Right?
**[17:28] Alice**
Mother? Are you hurt?
**[17:30] Sharon**
Oh, this?
**[17:32] Sharon**
I was at my sister's
place until two days ago,
**[17:34] Sharon**
and she complained about you,
so we had a huge fight.
**[17:38] Sharon**
She's always been under a lot of stress...
**[17:41] Sharon**
but anyway, I won the
fight and we shook hands.
**[17:45] Sharon**
I'm grateful to her for raising you,
**[17:48] Sharon**
but next time I'm going to make
her apologize to you personally.
**[17:50] Sharon**
I promise!
**[17:52] Sharon**
Oh, right. It was so cute how angry
Gerbera got when she saw the wound.
**[17:59] Sharon**
I'm going to be working here again.
**[18:02] Sharon**
We'll be apart again...
but I'll never leave you!
**[18:09] Sharon**
From now on, we're together forever!
**[18:11] Sharon**
Aww... I love you, Alice!
**[18:15] Sharon**
Anyway, I'm off to work!
**[18:17] Viola**
You don't have to be quite like her...
**[18:21] Viola**
But Daleth, you do need to invite
Walter to dance at the party.
**[18:26] Viola**
It's a big chance for you, and you can't miss it!
**[18:30] Viola**
I'll lend you a cute dress!
**[18:32] Duke**
Wait! There's something I want to ask Daleth!
**[18:35] Viola**
No boys allowed!
**[18:36] Viola**
Wait by the back door!
**[18:41] Duke**
I'm glad Sharon seems to be doing well.
**[18:43] Alice**
Yes.
**[18:47] Duke**
I was jealous.
**[18:50] Duke**
That she was able to kiss you.
**[18:54] Alice**
I'm saving my lips... for you, Your Grace.
**[19:02] Philip**
I'm stepping out for a smoke.
**[19:03] Servant**
Yes, sir.
**[19:10] Philip**
It's still cold.
**[19:20] Duke**
Philip...
**[19:22] (Flashback) Philip**
You monster!
**[19:25] Philip**
Oh, um... hi!
**[19:28] Philip**
I had no idea you'd be at the family home.
**[19:34] Philip**
No, um... sorry. I didn't
realize you were here.
**[19:39] Philip**
I'll be going.
**[19:40] Duke**
I'm sorry.
**[19:42] Duke**
You were kind enough to come
that day, and I upset you...
**[19:48] Duke**
I always wanted to apologize.
**[19:51] Philip**
You're not mad?
**[19:52] Duke**
Mad? Why would I be mad?
**[19:58] Viola**
Hey, Philip.
**[19:59] Duke**
Viola...
**[20:01] Viola**
What are you two so down about?
**[20:04] Viola**
You're childhood friends. Act like it!
**[20:07] Philip**
Boss Viola...
**[20:09] Duke**
Boss?
**[20:10] Alice**
Where's Daleth?
**[20:11] Viola**
Oh, yeah. Get this!
**[20:13] Viola**
I finally got her dressed, and
Daleth said, "I can't do this!"
**[20:18] Viola**
And she disappeared!
**[20:20] Viola**
Where's she hiding, I wonder?
**[20:23] Viola**
Help me find her.
**[20:26] Duke**
But there's the dance party,
and all these people are coming, right?
**[20:29] Duke**
We can't have something happening, so I'll...
**[20:31] Viola**
Not so fast!
**[20:33] Viola**
I've got a plan to deal with your curse.
**[20:36] Viola**
And... why don't you stay and
listen to my violin performance?
**[20:40] Duke**
I do want to see that.
**[20:41] Viola**
Then it's settled. Come with me.
**[20:44] Duke**
Okay, see you around, Philip.
***SIGN*** Look at the time.
***SIGN*** The party will begin soon.
**[20:55] Sister**
Um, would you be willing to dance with me
if you don't have a partner already?
***SIGN*** No...
**[21:03] Walter**
*Why am I saying "No"?*
**[21:05] Walter**
*I can't embarrass a lady! Fool!*
**[21:07] Walter**
*Stupid second son!*
**[21:08] Sister**
Oh, there's someone you like?
**[21:14] Walter**
*Someone I like?*
**[21:17] Sister**
Why are you bleeding?
**[21:58] Daleth**
Waah...
**[22:01] Daleth**
What do I do?

**[00:30] Duke**
Okay, see you around, Philip.
**[00:33] Duke**
It's almost spring, but it's still cold.
**[00:37] Duke**
Are you cold?
**[00:38] Alice**
I'm fine.
**[00:40] Alice**
I'm wearing a snowsuit, see?
**[00:43] Duke**
That's not a snowsuit!
**[00:46] Alice**
It's quite functional, too.
**[00:48] Duke**
Functional, how?
***SIGN*** Episode 30
Dance Party (Part 2)
**[02:28] Duke**
So this is your plan for keeping
people safe at the ball?
**[02:31] Viola**
That's right. You're just a
decoration now, so don't move.
**[02:36] Viola**
Mom told me that you could
attend if you stayed like that.
**[02:40] Duke**
True, as thick as it is, even if I
ran into someone, they'd be fine...
**[02:46] Viola**
I said, don't move!
**[02:47] Alice**
It seems it's safe to touch you.
**[02:49] Duke**
Don't risk your life to find out!
**[02:52] Duke**
There's a whole lot of people here, though.
**[02:54] Duke**
You're so cute, someone
might try to hit on you.
**[02:57] Alice**
That won't happen. Don't worry.
**[03:00] Duke**
Y-You're sure?
**[03:01] Viola**
There are a lot of people
here, though, yeah...
**[03:04] Viola**
I'm nervous about my violin performance.
**[03:07] Viola**
What do I do, Alice?
**[03:10] Gerbera**
Welcome to our party.
**[03:14] Gerbera**
Hello there.
**[03:16] Gerbera**
Oh, it's been so long.
**[03:19] Gerbera**
How are you today?
**[03:24] Gerbera**
Does my smile look normal?
**[03:26] Sharon**
It's perfect, ma'am.
**[03:29] Sharon**
Our smiling practice last night paid off!
**[03:33] Gerbera**
I know it's just once a year,
but this is exhausting.
**[03:35] Sharon**
Don't say that. Just do your best, Gerbera.
**[03:38] Duke**
What do I do?
**[03:39] Duke**
I can't look for Daleth like this.
***SIGN*** Welcome, everyone!
***SIGN*** Have a good evening.
**[03:47] Duke**
Walter!
***SIGN*** Is that you, my creepy brother?
***SIGN*** Why are you wearing that?
**[03:52] Duke**
Don't worry about me.
**[03:54] Duke**
More importantly, have you seen Daleth?
***SIGN*** Don't you dare even say her name!
**[03:58] Duke**
I'm not even allowed to say her name?
***SIGN*** Is she here?
**[04:02] Duke**
Yeah.
**[04:03] Duke**
Viola gave her a dress to wear for the ball,
**[04:07] Duke**
but she got embarrassed and disappeared.
***SIGN*** Mother.
***SIGN*** A friend of mine seems to have gotten lost in the mansion, so I'm going to look for them.
***SIGN*** I'll introduce you later.
**[04:21] Gerbera**
I didn't know he had friends.
**[04:23] Sharon**
It might be a girl!
**[04:25] Sharon**
What do we do? What do we do?
**[04:27] Gerbera**
I don't mind, as long as they're
worthy of our family name.
**[04:31] Gerbera**
Everyone, let's start the dancing.
**[04:35] Gerbera**
My daughter, Viola, will put
on a performance for us.
**[04:43] Viola**
*Everyone's staring at me.*
**[04:45] Viola**
*Oh, no...*
**[04:48] Attendees**
What's wrong?
**[04:49] Attendees**
We can't dance like this.
**[04:52] Viola**
*What do I do?*
**[04:56] Attendees**
So there was a person inside that armor?
**[04:59] Attendees**
A little surprise for the ball, I see.
**[05:09] Attendees**
What a wonderful performance it is, though.
**[05:24] Sister**
You're not going to dance, Brother Philip?
**[05:28] Sister**
Viola's playing.
**[05:30] Philip**
I'm thinking about life right now.
**[05:33] Sister**
What do you mean?
**[05:37] (Flashback) Duke**
I'm sorry.
**[05:40] Philip**
*He's not the one who needs to apologize—*
**[05:47] Duke**
The armor's in the way, I can't see a thing,
**[05:50] Duke**
and I can barely hear, either!
**[05:52] Duke**
Is everyone having fun?
**[05:54] Alice**
Yes, they're having a wonderful time.
**[05:56] Alice**
Lady Viola is enjoying herself.
**[06:02] Sharon**
It's like the two of them are
playing together as siblings.
**[06:04] Sharon**
His Grace's piano playing is even more
wonderful than it was when he was a child.
**[06:11] Sharon**
Hey, don't you think so?
**[06:21] Sharon**
Gerbera?
**[06:24] Gerbera**
I just found myself wanting to touch his
mussed-up hair more than anything...
***SIGN*** I found you!
**[06:48] Daleth**
Walter!
***SIGN*** My hair's a mess. How embarrassing.
***SIGN*** It's cold up here, and it's not safe.
***SIGN*** Come down to the ball.
**[07:02] Daleth**
I don't want to go. I don't want to see
you dancing with a girl I don't know.
**[07:11] Daleth**
The one with the stylish bangs.
***SIGN*** She's a friend!
***SIGN*** She likes witches and black magic, so we had a lot in common.
***SIGN*** I'm so proud to know you that I wanted to tell her about you...
***SIGN*** But of course, I didn't.
***SIGN*** Do you not like it when I'm friendly with other girls?
**[07:35] Daleth**
I'm sorry.
**[07:37] Daleth**
I don't want to cause trouble for you.
***SIGN*** It's no trouble.
***SIGN*** I just think it's cute.
***SIGN*** I try to be nice to all living things, with the exception of my brother.
***SIGN*** So tell me whenever there's anything you want.
**[07:54] Daleth**
Th-Then... I want you to kiss me.
**[08:03] Daleth**
No! No! Not now... I need it for a ritual!
***SIGN*** A ritual?
**[08:09] Daleth**
I want to become human.
**[08:12] Daleth**
And to do that, I need to
gather a thousand items
**[08:15] Daleth**
and do a process that's
a thousand steps long.
**[08:18] Daleth**
And the last step is... a kiss with a human.
***SIGN*** You want to be human? Even though you're so strong and cool?
**[08:27] Daleth**
Thank you.
**[08:29] Daleth**
But I can't stay a witch.
**[08:31] Daleth**
I'm not actually cut out
to be the boss, anyway...
**[08:33] Daleth**
And...
**[08:35] Daleth**
*I want to be human so I can be with you...*
***SIGN*** A kiss, huh?
***SIGN*** I'm happy you'd choose me when there are so many other humans.
**[08:47] Daleth**
*I want to hear your answer.*
**[08:50] Daleth**
*But I don't want to hear it...*
***SIGN*** But I'm sorry. I can't.
**[08:57] Daleth**
O-Of course... You don't want to
kiss an ugly, clingy girl like me...
***SIGN*** No, that's not it.
***SIGN*** I'm embarrassed to say this, but I've decided I will only ever kiss the girl I marry.
***SIGN*** There's a chance I'll be the family heir.
***SIGN*** I don't want to do anything I'm not committed to.
**[09:17] Daleth**
I'm sorry...
**[09:19] Daleth**
You're so kind, and I'm causing
trouble for you again...
**[09:24] Daleth**
But I don't want anyone else...
I only want you...
***SIGN*** I don't need an answer right now...
***SIGN*** So I just want you to think about it until you come to the end
***SIGN*** of those thousand steps.
***SIGN*** If you're willing to marry me, then ask me for a kiss again.
***SIGN*** If you'll have me...
***SIGN*** Now, stand up.
***SIGN*** I've learned a little more about you.
***SIGN*** Fix your makeup, and let's go to the party.
***SIGN*** You look lovely in that dress.
**[10:14] Daleth**
* I'm sorry for being like this,*
* for being an ugly witch.*
**[10:20] Walter**
* I'm sorry for being like this,*
* the replacement, the second son.*
**[10:25] Daleth**
*I'm the second daughter too, so I can relate.*
**[10:29] Walter**
*We've both had it rough, so we get along.*
**[10:36] Both**
* We don't know love, but we*
* can heal each other's wounds—*
**[10:45] Both**
*we can understand each other.*
**[10:47] Daleth**
*The D in Daleth stands for "Don't let me go!"*
**[10:51] Walter**
*The "W" stands for "We can smile"!*
**[10:55] Walter**
*We get closer to each other... A, B, C, D... W!*
**[11:16] Daleth**
I've never danced at a ball before.
**[11:20] Daleth**
Especially not someplace so fancy...
***SIGN*** Don't worry. Just follow my lead.
***SIGN*** May I put my arm around you?
**[11:29] Daleth**
Go ahead...
**[11:32] Daleth**
* His face is so close!*
* I'm sweating! I'm sweating!*
***SIGN*** Your arm goes here.
***SIGN*** One, three, four.
***SIGN*** One, three, four.
***SIGN*** That's right, yes.
***SIGN*** One, three, four.
***SIGN*** One, three, four.
**[11:49] Daleth**
* It's so wonderful the way he's*
* skipping the second beat...*
***SIGN*** That's my mother over there.
***SIGN*** I want to introduce you. Is that all right?
**[12:02] Daleth**
You want to introduce me?
**[12:03] Daleth**
I don't know if I'm ready...
***SIGN*** I see. Some other time, then.
**[12:09] Daleth**
I'm sorry.
**[12:11] Daleth**
*That's Walter's...*
**[12:14] Daleth**
* What do I do if she thinks*
* I'm not worthy of him?*
***SIGN*** Is something wrong?
**[12:23] Daleth**
Well...
**[12:25] Daleth**
*I'm scared... I'm embarrassed...*
**[12:28] Daleth**
*I want to hide my face!*
***SIGN*** Daleth, cast a spell.
***SIGN*** If you don't want people looking at you,
***SIGN*** then let's go to a world where it's just the two of us.
**[12:40] Daleth**
Just the two of us?
***SIGN*** Yeah.
**[12:45] Daleth**
*Just the two of us...*
***SIGN*** See? Nothing to be scared of now.
**[12:58] Daleth**
Yeah.
**[13:09] Daleth**
Is it okay for me to receive
this much kindness?
**[13:14] Daleth**
If you tried to con me and sell me pots or
water or something... I'd buy a whole lot.
***SIGN*** What are you talking about?
***SIGN*** I want you to smile.
***SIGN*** Because I love your smile.
**[13:34] Gerbera**
She loves Walter, doesn't she?
**[13:42] Attendees**
Goodnight, Gerbera.
**[13:44] Gerbera**
Yes, let's do this again.
**[13:47] Duke**
Those two have been talking this whole time.
**[13:51] Duke**
Think they like each other?
**[13:53] Alice**
They're quite close.
**[13:54] Nico**
What, the party's over already?
**[13:56] Duke**
Mr. Nico?!
**[13:58] Nico**
Oh, just call me "Nico"
when we're not at school.
**[14:01] Nico**
I went to your mansion, and nobody
was there but the butler.
**[14:05] Nico**
He seemed like a really cool guy,
so I'd like to talk to him again.
**[14:10] Duke**
But if you're here, that means...
**[14:14] Nico**
Kept you waiting, didn't I?
**[14:16] Nico**
One week from now, we'll go
back into the past to see Sade.
**[14:21] Duke**
One week from now...
**[14:22] Nico**
Make sure you're all ready to go.
**[14:25] Nico**
I've got a plan to break your curse,
**[14:27] Nico**
but I'll tell you once everybody
arrives at your mansion.
**[14:31] Nico**
I'd like to go tell them, too,
**[14:34] Nico**
but I think I'd be interrupting.
**[14:36] Duke**
You're really nice...
**[14:48] Gerbera**
I'm exhausted.
**[14:53] Duke**
Mother, it's me.
**[14:55] Gerbera**
Come in.
**[15:02] Duke**
Are you okay?
**[15:04] Gerbera**
I've been racing to get ready for
the ball these past few days.
**[15:08] Gerbera**
Make it quick.
**[15:10] Gerbera**
Do you think you can break the curse?
**[15:12] Duke**
I'm going to see the witch
who cursed me next week.
**[15:15] Duke**
To be honest, I still don't
know what will happen...
**[15:19] Duke**
So I wanted to talk to you.
**[15:24] Duke**
What do you think about me?
**[15:27] Gerbera**
What do I think?
**[15:29] Duke**
When I was cursed, you moved me to
that mansion almost immediately...
**[15:34] Duke**
You called me "Death Incarnate."
**[15:37] Duke**
So I was wondering if you even
still wanted me to be heir.
**[15:40] Gerbera**
Did I call you "Death Incarnate"?
**[15:43] Duke**
You did! You totally did!
**[15:45] Duke**
Maybe you forgot, but I didn't!
**[15:47] Gerbera**
I see.
**[15:48] Gerbera**
Then I apologize for that.
**[15:50] Gerbera**
I'm sorry.
**[15:53] Gerbera**
But I don't regret sending you away.
**[15:58] Gerbera**
I can't leave this place.
**[16:01] Gerbera**
Rob's been telling me what you've been up to.
**[16:06] Gerbera**
I've always wanted you to
inherit the family name.
**[16:12] Gerbera**
Because you were born as the eldest son...
**[16:14] Gerbera**
Because that's the rule for us nobles.
**[16:17] Gerbera**
And what happened...
**[16:20] (Flashback) Duke**
I'm marrying Alice!
**[16:23] Gerbera**
As a noble, I can't allow that.
**[16:28] Gerbera**
I know Alice is a good girl.
**[16:31] Gerbera**
She's like Sharon. She's beautiful.
Charming. Good-natured. Sweet-voiced.
**[16:38] Duke**
That's a lot... but yes.
**[16:41] Gerbera**
But the difference in your
social status is too great.
**[16:44] Duke**
What do you personally think,
not as a noble but as yourself?
**[16:49] Gerbera**
I, personally...
**[17:18] Duke**
Before I was cursed, you gave me so
much love and so many kind words...
**[17:26] Duke**
You patted me on the head and
told me I was good at the piano.
**[17:30] Duke**
When I ran around the yard playing,
you told me I was full of energy.
**[17:34] Duke**
Not always, of course...
but it made me happy.
**[17:40] Duke**
Maybe you forgot, but I didn't.
**[17:45] Duke**
Goodnight, Mother.
**[17:48] Duke**
I'll do my best.
**[17:59] Gerbera**
Of course I care about you...
**[18:03] Viola**
Thanks for coming, guys!
**[18:05] Viola**
Take care on your way home, Alice!
**[18:07] Alice**
Thanks...
**[18:09] Duke**
Um, what about me?
**[18:12] Duke**
Philip!
**[18:14] Duke**
I'm sure you're still scared of me,
but I'll break this curse.
**[18:18] Duke**
And when I do... play
with me like you used to!
**[18:22] Duke**
So, um... Bye! See you again, Philip!
**[18:25] Duke**
Let's meet again!
**[18:28] Sister**
Come on, Brother. Don't ignore him.
**[18:31] Sister**
Come on, do it. Do it.
**[18:37] Viola**
What a loser.
**[18:38] Duke**
He didn't ignore me!
**[18:40] Duke**
I'm glad I worked up the courage to try!
**[18:42] Duke**
Friends...
**[18:43] Duke**
Does that mean we're friends again?
**[18:46] Alice**
Perhaps.
**[18:48] Viola**
More importantly...
**[18:50] Viola**
You really helped me out when
I was playing the violin.
**[18:54] Viola**
Thanks.
**[18:55] Viola**
Now get out of here!
**[18:59] Duke**
My little sister's so cute.
**[19:03] Duke**
Friends, huh?
**[19:05] Duke**
Can I really be friends with Sade?
**[19:09] Duke**
Can I work things out with her
and have her break my curse?
**[19:12] Alice**
If you get very close to her,
I might be very jealous.
**[19:16] Duke**
No, I'm not really planning on that...
**[19:18] Alice**
I'm joking.
**[19:19] Duke**
You're joking.
**[19:21] Alice**
I'm sure you're the only
one who can change her.
**[19:25] Alice**
I was saved by your kindness once, too.
**[19:29] Duke**
I get embarrassed when
people compliment me...
**[19:31] Alice**
You're so sexy, Your Grace.
**[19:33] Duke**
Is that something to say right now?
**[19:36] Alice**
I spoke to my mother earlier,
and she seems to have remembered...
**[19:41] Alice**
what happened with Sade before
she was cursed and put to sleep.
**[19:45] Duke**
What happened with Sade?
**[19:47] Alice**
Sade asked my mother this:
**[19:51] Alice**
"Would you be willing to go to sleep forever
**[19:54] Alice**
if it would mean curing Alice's illness?"
**[19:58] Duke**
Is that what happened?
**[20:00] Alice**
My mother said that while
she did go to sleep,
**[20:04] Alice**
Sade kept her promise.
**[20:07] Alice**
But that's why it made her sad that she
wasn't able to truly understand Sade.
**[20:14] Duke**
So even Sharon couldn't do it...
**[20:18] Duke**
The strongest witch, starved for
love and able to read minds...
**[20:23] Duke**
I wonder if maybe she
won't even talk to me.
**[20:26] Alice**
Let's do our best.
**[20:28] Alice**
I'll help.
**[20:29] Duke**
Yeah.
**[20:32] Alice**
We have a week till we go
back into the past, huh?
**[20:40] Duke**
*A week...*
**[20:42] Duke**
* In one week... the fun life*
* I have now will be over.*
**[20:47] Duke**
* Whether my curse is broken*
* or not, I'm sure...*
**[20:51] Duke**
*I won't go back to the life I have now.*
**[20:56] Duke**
*I'm scared.*
**[20:57] Duke**
*But I have to move forward.*
**[21:01] Duke**
*Because someday, I want to touch your hands,*
**[21:05] Duke**
*your fingers, your shoulders, your hair...*
**[21:11] Duke**
*Alice...*
**[21:12] Duke**
*Am I in the future you see?*
**[21:17] Duke**
* When my curse is broken,*
* will you still be there for me?*
**[21:22] Alice**
Your Grace?
**[21:24] Duke**
I'm scared...
**[21:26] Alice**
About Sade?
**[21:28] Alice**
Or your family?
**[21:29] Duke**
All of it...
**[21:32] Alice**
Want me to give you air headpats?
**[21:34] Duke**
No, thanks! That's dangerous!
**[21:36] Duke**
A-Alice...
**[21:38] Alice**
I hope someday I can hold you close...
and make your fears go away.
**[21:45] Duke**
Thank you...
**[21:46] Duke**
I want to do the same for you.
**[21:50] Duke**
*One week left...*
**[21:53] Duke**
* I'm going to spend each day at peace,*
* treasuring it as best I can.*
**[21:58] Duke**
*I'll move forward...*
**[21:59] Duke**
*for the sake of the future that awaits me.*

**[00:30] Zain**
We should come up with hand signals
before the big fight with Sade.
**[00:35] Cuff**
What?
**[00:36] Zain**
We'll be able to use movements to
communicate, even if we can't speak.
**[00:40] Zain**
Like, this means "Stop."
**[00:42] Cuff**
I see.
**[00:45] Cuff**
Do you know what this one is?
**[00:46] Zain**
Fox?
**[00:48] Zain**
When will you use that?
**[00:51] Cuff**
Then what about this?
**[00:52] Zain**
Viola!
**[00:56] Cuff**
What's this one?
**[01:00] Zain**
A bear?
**[01:02] Cuff**
Nope! A ghost!
**[01:05] Zain**
When would we use that?
***SIGN*** Episode 31
Coming Together
**[03:05] Cuff**
Zain, let's have meat pies for lunch.
**[03:07] Zain**
Can't we just eat at home?
**[03:09] Cuff**
It's good weather today. I want to eat out.
**[03:12] Nico**
Cuff! Zain!
**[03:13] Nico**
I've come to see my cute students!
**[03:16] Cuff**
The teachers!
**[03:19] Flea**
Come on, sit down.
**[03:20] Zain**
I refuse.
**[03:22] Zain**
If we hang out with shady characters like
you, people will think we're weird as well.
**[03:26] Cuff**
Come on, Zain!
**[03:27] Zain**
She's fast!
**[03:29] Nico**
I'll pay for lunch.
**[03:32] Zain**
Where do you even get your money?
**[03:34] Ichi**
We grow veggies at the school and sell them.
**[03:38] Zain**
I don't think I believe that.
**[03:40] Zain**
So?
**[03:41] Zain**
Is it time?
**[03:42] Nico**
Yup.
**[03:43] Nico**
Next week, we go back in
time to break Sade's curse.
**[03:47] Zain**
Next week, huh?
**[03:48] Nico**
Your magic is the most important
part of the plan, though.
**[03:51] Nico**
We helped you master it back at school...
**[03:55] Nico**
How's it been going since then?
**[03:57] Zain**
Leave it to me.
**[03:59] Zain**
I can make a time door as easy as pie now.
**[04:04] Ichi**
Give me back my sunglasses!
**[04:06] Flea**
You used magic to stop time, didn't you?
**[04:09] Zain**
Well, I'm a genius.
**[04:11] Cuff**
That's a lie.
**[04:13] Cuff**
Zain is the type to put in the effort.
**[04:15] Cuff**
He's practicing every day
until he exhausts himself.
**[04:17] Zain**
Don't tell them that!
**[04:19] Zain**
Anyway, aren't you taking
your wizard buddies?
**[04:24] Zain**
The more people who've got experience
fighting Sade, the better, right?
**[04:28] Ichi**
No, we can't do that.
**[04:30] Ichi**
They're all badly wounded,
body and mind alike.
**[04:33] Ichi**
A lot of them have lost their magic entirely.
**[04:36] Ichi**
I don't want to lose any more of them.
**[04:39] Ichi**
And if we surround her with a lot
of people, she'll get nervous.
**[04:42] Ichi**
The boy's convinced me.
I want to start by talking to her.
**[04:48] Ichi**
But if that breaks down, we'll fight.
**[04:52] Ichi**
I'll explain the specific
plan on the day we go.
**[04:55] Ichi**
We'll have fewer people, but we'll be taking
Flea and the upperclassmen. And Daleth.
**[05:00] Ichi**
We're every bit as strong
as we were last time.
**[05:04] Zain**
All he's got is barriers
and horses. Can he fight?
**[05:07] Flea**
I can't do as much as you.
But I can do quite a lot.
**[05:11] Cuff**
Hey, what about Viola?
**[05:13] Cuff**
I don't want to put her in danger.
**[05:15] Cuff**
I don't want to leave her out, though.
**[05:18] Nico**
I agree.
**[05:19] Nico**
Which is why I'm going to ask
her to do something else.
**[05:22] Cuff**
Fine, then.
**[05:25] Nico**
There's one more thing I
want to talk to Zain about.
**[05:28] Nico**
If we do fight Sade, she'll go after you
first because of your time control powers.
**[05:33] Nico**
Are you prepared to risk your life?
**[05:36] Nico**
You won't gain anything
from breaking these curses.
**[05:40] Nico**
We'd be glad to have you,
**[05:42] Nico**
but you're free to wait in the
present after you make the gate.
**[05:46] Zain**
You're right. I don't gain anything.
**[05:49] Zain**
But my friend needs me.
**[05:52] Zain**
And he's helped Cuff and me both.
**[05:54] Zain**
I want to repay him.
**[05:57] Zain**
That's about all there is to it.
**[06:01] Nico**
I see.
**[06:02] Nico**
That's just like you.
**[06:11] Alice**
Your Grace.
**[06:13] Alice**
Everyone's here.
**[06:15] Alice**
I've seen Zain and Walter to the parlor.
**[06:18] Duke**
I'll go right away.
**[06:19] Duke**
You have fun with the girls.
**[06:22] Alice**
All right.
**[06:25] Viola**
What? Daleth's not coming?
**[06:29] Keto**
She needs a little more time to
get the items to become human.
**[06:34] Cuff**
D...
**[06:36] Keto**
She's got close to 1,000!
**[06:39] Viola**
What? And I was hoping I could...
**[06:39] Cuff**
E... F... G...
**[06:43] Cuff**
H! Next is H!
**[06:44] Viola**
Cuff, shut up!
**[06:46] Viola**
And how many months is it taking
you to learn those letters?
**[06:48] Cuff**
How many, I wonder.
**[06:50] Viola**
Don't wonder about it!
**[06:53] Alice**
It's wonderful that you're
able to keep studying.
**[06:57] Viola**
Don't spoil her!
**[07:00] Viola**
And I brought Walter so he could see her...
***SIGN*** She can read thoughts?
**[07:06] Zain**
Seriously?
**[07:08] Zain**
Sade can do that?
**[07:10] Duke**
She was keeping it a secret,
so I don't know if I should tell you...
**[07:14] Duke**
But I wanted to anyway.
**[07:16] Zain**
So the secret in the journal...
**[07:18] Duke**
Yup. It was just a hint.
**[07:21] Duke**
I think even after her sister's death,
Daleth wanted to keep her sister's secret.
**[07:26] Zain**
She was under her control that much, huh?
**[07:30] Zain**
I've got no sympathy, but I think I
understand why it twisted her so much.
**[07:36] Zain**
It'd make you lonely, yeah.
**[07:38] Duke**
Yeah, I think she was always hurt.
**[07:42] Duke**
And that's why she had a special
attachment to my grandfather,
**[07:44] Duke**
who was the same person inside and out.
**[07:46] Duke**
But...
**[07:48] (Flashback) Sade**
The truth... was that I
wanted you to love me.
**[07:53] Duke**
And then Sade cursed me.
**[07:56] Duke**
"I want you to lead a miserable life...
**[07:58] Duke**
never loving anyone or
being loved in turn..."
**[08:01] Zain**
But the curse aside,
she didn't get what she wanted.
**[08:09] Zain**
I wonder what the girls are talking about...
**[08:13] Zain**
Maybe they're talking
about something naughty!
**[08:15] Viola**
It's time for the big event!
**[08:17] Viola**
The part of the sleepover
where we talk about love!
**[08:20] Teto**
Yay!
**[08:21] Keto**
Puff-puff!
**[08:22] Viola**
Okay, first come first served!
**[08:23] Viola**
Who's got something romance-related
they want to talk about?
**[08:27] Keto**
Not me.
**[08:27] Teto**
Or me.
**[08:28] Alice**
I don't.
**[08:29] Cuff**
Me neither.
**[08:33] Viola**
The discussion's over.
***SIGN*** That happens!!
**[08:34] Pfeifer**
That happens!
**[08:39] Viola**
What are the upperclassmen doing here?
**[08:41] Evelyn**
We love talking about romance!
**[08:43] Evelyn**
We want to...
**[08:44] Pfeifer**
...join in too!
***SIGN*** ...join in too!!
**[08:48] Millie**
I want to talk about how cool Mr. Flea is!
***SIGN*** Mr. Flea is mine!
**[08:51] Pfeifer**
Mr. Flea is mine!
**[08:53] Evelyn**
That's my line!
**[08:53] Millie**
I talked to him first!
***SIGN*** You want to fight?
**[08:55] Evelyn**
You want to fight?
**[08:55] Pfeifer**
You want to fight?
**[08:57] Viola**
Shut up!
**[08:58] Viola**
All of you, shut up!
**[09:02] Keto**
Wow, she shut them up instantly.
**[09:05] Viola**
Now that there's more people here,
let's talk about something else.
**[09:08] Teto**
Beaches and barbecues!
**[09:09] Keto**
Clubs and casinos!
***SIGN*** Hey! Hey! Let's talk about Mr. Flea!
**[09:10] Pfeifer**
Hey! Hey! Let's talk about Mr. Flea!
**[09:11] Millie/Evelyn**
Me too!
***SIGN*** You want to fight?!
**[09:12] All**
You want to fight?!
**[09:13] Viola**
I said shut up...
**[09:15] Keto**
The other thing I'm big
into is magic, I guess.
**[09:25] Viola**
It's beautiful...
**[09:33] Viola**
I can't handle ones that
are like bugs like that!
**[09:35] Keto**
Sorry, I didn't think
it'd scare you that much.
**[09:40] Viola**
Alice, this rose has been here
a long time, but it's wilted.
**[09:45] Viola**
You're not getting a new one?
**[09:47] Alice**
I received this rose from the person I love.
**[09:50] Viola**
The person you love?
**[09:52] Viola**
Your prince? The one you mentioned before?
**[09:54] Alice**
Yes. It's my treasure.
**[09:57] Viola**
*She has the face of a maiden in love...*
**[09:59] Viola**
Hey, who do you think it is that Alice likes?
**[10:04] Viola**
I'm pretty sure it's not Rob,
but who else could it be?
**[10:07] Viola**
Do you know?
**[10:08] Keto**
Are you asking for real?
**[10:10] Viola**
What about you, Cuff?
**[10:11] Viola**
Cuff!
**[10:13] Cuff**
I'm bored!
**[10:14] Cuff**
I'm tired of studying!
**[10:16] Viola**
You've barely done any!
**[10:18] Cuff**
I've learned A, B, C, D, E, F...
**[10:20] Cuff**
and I've also learned H!
**[10:22] Keto**
Wow!
**[10:23] Teto**
A genius!
**[10:24] Viola**
You skipped G!
**[10:25] Viola**
Don't spoil her, guys!
**[10:27] Cuff**
I want Zain to praise me.
**[10:29] Teto**
You want the person you
love to praise you, yeah.
**[10:31] Keto**
You look sexy with your hair up, Teto.
**[10:34] Cuff**
I'll be back!
**[10:35] All**
Go! Go! Let's go, Cuff!
**[10:36] Viola**
Are sleepovers usually this chaotic?
**[10:44] Cuff**
Zain!
**[10:48] Zain**
Cuff!
**[10:49] Zain**
What were you girls talking about?
***SIGN*** Don't ask that...
**[10:54] Cuff**
Alice was teaching me about H!
**[11:04] Rob**
Here I go!
**[11:08] Rob**
Oh, sorry. I hit your face.
**[11:11] Duke**
No, it's my fault for having no reflexes.
**[11:14] Duke**
Okay, here I go, too!
**[11:18] Rob**
I'm tired, I'm afraid.
**[11:20] Rob**
I'll just watch you two.
**[11:22] Duke**
After you said you wanted to
do a pillow fight that bad?
**[11:25] Rob**
Pillow-fighting, it's all so...
**[11:30] Duke**
That's an exaggeration...
**[11:32] Duke**
I just said I wanted to treasure
this last week with everyone...
**[11:40] Alice**
Nice catch, Your Grace.
**[11:47] Duke**
You're so cute! This is so fun!
**[11:50] Rob**
I'm glad to hear it.
**[11:57] Duke**
If you bring together all
the pillows in the mansion,
**[11:59] Duke**
they turn into a huge pile, huh?
**[12:01] Alice**
Yes. I got excited and
brought them all together.
**[12:03] Duke**
Okay! Jump!
**[12:06] Duke**
They're so fluffy!
**[12:09] Duke**
Join me, Alice!
**[12:10] Alice**
Okay! Catch me!
**[12:14] Duke**
No, don't jump at me, please!
**[12:21] Alice**
They're so fluffy.
**[12:23] Duke**
*So cute!*
**[12:27] Duke**
*I feel like she's smiling a lot more lately.*
**[12:30] Rob**
Zzz...
**[12:37] Alice**
It's like we're sleeping in the same bed.
**[12:49] Duke**
Wow! You can swim between the pillows!
**[12:51] Alice**
Want to play tag inside?
**[12:53] Duke**
No touching though, okay?
**[12:57] Rob**
*If I had a family, and children...*
**[13:02] Rob**
*Would it be like this?*
**[13:05] Rob**
*I'm satisfied with my life as a butler.*
**[13:08] Rob**
*But how does Alice feel?*
**[13:10] Rob**
* Was bringing her here really*
* the best choice for happiness?*
**[13:16] Rob**
*Those tears weren't tears of joy...*
**[13:21] Rob**
* Even then, she knew their time*
* together would be short...*
**[13:26] Rob**
* She knew that for His Grace's sake,*
* she must give up on her feelings.*
**[13:31] Rob**
* I'm not going to get involved*
* in their relationship.*
**[13:34] Rob**
*But...*
**[13:36] Rob**
*I don't want her to regret anything.*
**[13:41] Alice**
Goodnight, Your Grace.
**[13:43] Duke**
Goodnight, Alice, Rob.
**[13:45] Rob**
Goodnight.
**[14:01] Duke**
Rob, there's something I want to ask you.
**[14:04] Rob**
What is it?
**[14:09] Duke**
How do you propose to someone?
**[14:12] Duke**
Is there a right way?
**[14:15] Rob**
Who's proposing to who?
**[14:20] Duke**
If I can break my curse,
I'm telling Alice I love her.
**[14:24] Duke**
She supported me when I was nothing.
**[14:27] Duke**
I want to spend the rest of
my life making her happy.
**[14:30] Duke**
I'm sure we won't have anyone's blessing.
**[14:33] Duke**
And I know Alice is worried about
my family, and her position.
**[14:39] Duke**
But...
**[14:40] Duke**
I'll make her happy, no matter what happens.
**[14:46] Rob**
I'm sorry. I don't know
how to propose myself.
**[14:50] Duke**
I see. I'll ask the Ringmaster, then.
**[14:54] Rob**
But...
**[14:56] Rob**
The words you just spoke came from
the heart. They were wonderful.
**[15:07] Duke**
Do cigarettes taste good?
**[15:08] Rob**
Tonight, they taste especially so.
**[16:30] Duke**
*So tomorrow, we go back to the past...*
**[16:34] Duke**
*I never did figure out how to propose.*
**[16:38] Viola**
Now, where can they be?
**[16:38] Duke**
*Well, it'll be fine, I'm sure.*
**[16:42] Viola**
See? I found one.
**[16:44] Viola**
I'm so good at finding four-leaf clovers.
**[16:47] Viola**
You can call me a pro.
**[16:48] Alice**
I'm so impressed, Miss Pro.
**[16:51] Viola**
I'm blushing here!
**[16:55] Viola**
It's so peaceful that I can't believe
we're going to see Sade tomorrow.
**[17:01] Viola**
I'm a little sleepy.
**[17:03] Viola**
Let me rest on your lap.
**[17:04] Alice**
Go ahead.
**[17:10] Alice**
Viola, will you listen to my confession?
**[17:15] Viola**
Hmm? What?
**[17:17] Viola**
They're huge...
**[17:21] Alice**
The person I love is His Grace.
**[17:26] Viola**
Really?
**[17:27] Viola**
What do you like about my brother?
**[17:29] Viola**
How is he even remotely like a prince?
**[17:32] Viola**
Why didn't you tell me?!
**[17:38] Viola**
Well, you couldn't tell me.
**[17:41] Viola**
You have our family to think
about, and I'm his sister.
**[17:46] Viola**
I'm glad you told me.
**[17:48] Viola**
You had to have thought
about it a lot, right?
**[17:50] Alice**
But I wanted to tell you, no matter what...
**[17:56] Viola**
Let me give you a hug.
**[18:00] Viola**
I must've made you worry
a whole lot. There, there.
**[18:04] Viola**
Thanks for opening up to me.
**[18:07] Viola**
I love you.
**[18:14] Duke**
Is that a four-leaf clover?
**[18:16] Alice**
Yes. A gift from Viola.
**[18:19] Alice**
I'm going to press it and
turn it into a bookmark.
**[18:22] Alice**
You can imagine me...
**[18:24] Alice**
putting it between my breasts
and squeezing them to press it.
**[18:29] Duke**
I think I'd rather imagine
you doing it with a book!
**[18:32] Duke**
I'm scared about what's coming tomorrow.
**[18:34] Alice**
Don't think about the fear. Think
about the fun things that await.
**[18:38] Alice**
If your curse gets broken, you can
go into town whenever you want,
**[18:41] Alice**
or play with animals... Anything you want.
**[18:44] Duke**
That's right.
**[18:46] Duke**
What should I do first?
**[18:48] Alice**
What do you want to do with me?
**[18:50] Duke**
What are you trying to make me say?
**[18:53] Alice**
I want to be the first person
you hold in your arms.
**[18:58] Alice**
When Viola held me in her arms today,
**[19:03] Alice**
it was so gentle, and warm, and soft...
**[19:06] Alice**
I almost cried.
**[19:09] Duke**
How come she gets to hold you?
**[19:12] Duke**
I'm so jealous!
**[19:13] Alice**
She rested on my lap, too.
**[19:15] Duke**
On your lap, too!
**[19:18] Duke**
I promise you. The first thing I'll do
when my curse is broken is give you a hug.
**[19:21] Duke**
Let me rest on your lap, too!
**[19:24] Alice**
Yes. I will.
**[19:28] Alice**
I can't wait to kiss you
or push you to the bed...
**[19:30] Alice**
There's so much I want to do.
**[19:32] Duke**
I didn't go that far!
**[19:34] Alice**
Let's make sure we break your curse. And...
**[19:41] Alice**
we come back here again.
**[19:44] Duke**
Yeah.
**[19:48] Duke**
I'm feeling scared now...
**[19:50] Duke**
How can I persuade the strongest witch?
**[19:56] Duke**
I feel like I'm going to throw up.
**[19:57] Alice**
Go ahead.
**[19:59] Duke**
I'm not actually going to do it!
**[20:02] Daleth**
Nobody's here yet, I see.
**[20:06] Duke**
Daleth!
**[20:07] Daleth**
Walter and Viola were supposed to meet
up with the others before coming.
**[20:11] Daleth**
I guess Zain and Cuff are with them.
**[20:16] Duke**
Good timing.
**[20:17] Duke**
There's something I wanted to tell you.
**[20:19] Daleth**
What?
**[20:20] Duke**
I met my grandfather as a ghost,
and he told me about Sade.
**[20:24] Duke**
She really can read minds, can't she?
**[20:28] Duke**
I'm sorry, but I told Walter and Zain.
**[20:30] Duke**
And if I need to tell the others, I will.
**[20:33] Daleth**
I see.
**[20:35] Daleth**
Very well.
**[20:36] Daleth**
My sister was selfish,
but was a strong and great witch.
**[20:40] Daleth**
I need her alive.
**[20:42] Duke**
You need her?
**[20:47] Daleth**
I-I've got my reasons.
**[20:49] Duke**
*She's talking about Walter.*
**[20:51] Duke**
Hey, you're not taking Keto and Teto?
**[20:54] Daleth**
No, they're staying home.
**[20:55] Daleth**
If I die, somebody has to take over, right?
**[21:02] Duke**
If I fail to persuade her,
we might not come back alive...
**[21:06] Daleth**
Get a hold of yourself.
**[21:07] Daleth**
I'm betting it all on you.
**[21:09] Daleth**
On your honest personality
that can't tell a lie.
**[21:13] Daleth**
Putting aside the fact that
you're naive and dense.
**[21:15] Duke**
Did you have to say that last part?
**[21:18] Daleth**
And if you're Victor's grandson,
Sade may decide to listen to you.
**[21:23] Daleth**
If you can't persuade yourself you can do it,
how will you ever persuade her?
**[21:28] Daleth**
Chin up. For Alice's sake. And yours.
**[21:33] Duke**
Thank you, Daleth.
**[21:35] Daleth**
They're here.
**[21:55] Nico**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[21:57] Nico**
Let's go see Sade.
**[22:02] Duke**
Yeah.

**[00:01] Narr**
* Can you imagine a life where you*
* can't even touch the person you love?*
**[00:09] Narr**
* The curse the witch laid upon him caused*
* him to take the lives of any he touched.*
**[00:15] Narr**
* His own mother distanced herself from him,*
* his friends called him a monster...*
**[00:19] Narr**
*Even people he'd never met spoke of him as*
**[00:21] Narr**
*"death incarnate that dwells in the forest."*
**[00:24] Narr**
* And yet, he doesn't feel*
* the least bit lonely.*
**[00:30] Nico**
*I've spent a long time cursed by Sade.*
**[00:34] Nico**
* But we Wizards had come into contact with*
* her many times before that happened.*
**[00:39] Nico**
*But that day, she was different somehow...*
**[00:45] Nico**
*I was turned immortal...*
**[00:48] Nico**
*and lost the joy of growing old with Oichi.*
**[00:54] (Flashback) Ichi**
Stop it.
**[00:55] (Flashback) Nico**
Small wounds heal instantly.
**[00:58] (Flashback) Nico**
I want to see if I can die
by slicing off my limbs.
**[01:01] (Flashback) Ichi**
You don't want to hold hands with me anymore?
**[01:05] (Flashback) Nico**
Never mind.
**[01:06] Nico**
* Ironically, it was thanks to my curse*
* that I survived the battle with Sade.*
**[01:11] Nico**
*But even after her death, the curse remained,*
**[01:15] Nico**
*and I didn't know what to do.*
**[01:17] Nico**
* I couldn't handle the idea of living*
* forever in a world without Oichi.*
**[01:22] (Flashback) Nico**
Let's start a school.
**[01:25] (Flashback) Nico**
We'll research magic for turning back time,
**[01:28] (Flashback) Nico**
search for people who can fight and train them,
**[01:31] (Flashback) Nico**
go back before the curse was
laid... and defeat Sade once more.
**[01:37] Nico**
*When we met Zain, our plan advanced quickly.*
**[01:43] Nico**
*And today...*
**[01:45] Nico**
*it's all going to pay off.*
**[01:48] Nico**
We're ready.
**[01:50] Nico**
Let's go...
**[01:51] Nico**
to see Sade.
**[01:53] Duke**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Episode 32
Persuasion
**[03:26] Millie**
It's my first time at the mansion!
**[03:28] Evelyn**
Second for me!
***SIGN*** The carpet's so soft!
**[03:30] Pfeifer**
The carpet's so soft!
**[03:31] Flea**
Quiet, everyone.
**[03:32] Flea**
This isn't a field trip!
**[03:34] All**
It's not?!
***SIGN*** It's not?!
**[03:35] Pfeifer**
It's not?!
**[03:39] Nico**
I just brought you here in case.
**[03:42] Nico**
I'm hoping you won't have to participate.
**[03:45] Nico**
I'll go over the plan once again.
**[03:47] Evelyn**
You're taking too long! Get to it, Mr. Nico!
**[03:50] Ichi**
Shut up. He's about to.
**[03:52] Nico**
First, we're going back to
the past in three groups.
**[03:56] Nico**
First, Flea will go with the five of you.
**[04:01] Duke**
U-Us?
**[04:02] Nico**
You wanted to persuade Sade, right?
**[04:05] Nico**
You'll be going back to your family's home,
a few days before the curse is laid.
**[04:10] Nico**
And during that time, we'll all stay here.
**[04:13] Nico**
Zain, can you leave the door
to the past open for a while?
**[04:18] Zain**
It'll be a little tiring, though.
**[04:19] Nico**
If Sade seems persuadable,
bring her back here.
**[04:24] Nico**
We don't know what she'll do if
we let her remain in the past.
**[04:28] Nico**
But if negotiations fall apart,
Ichi, Cuff, and I will go.
**[04:32] Nico**
Flea, Zain, and Daleth
will help us fight Sade.
**[04:36] Nico**
And if we can't win,
**[04:39] Nico**
our last hope...
**[04:42] Nico**
will be you.
**[04:44] Millie**
We're the last?!
**[04:45] Evelyn**
We can't wait that long!
**[04:47] Ichi**
Shut up! Or no snack time for you!
**[04:49] Nico**
If things seem even the
least bit bad, we bail out.
**[04:52] Nico**
Even Sarah can't heal fatal wounds.
**[04:57] Nico**
We'll only get one shot at this, so be ready.
**[05:03] Duke**
You mean if we fail, my curse
will never be broken?
**[05:07] Nico**
Yeah. Mine, too.
**[05:10] Zain**
I hate to spoil the mood...
**[05:13] Zain**
But you talked so much Cuff fell asleep.
**[05:15] Nico**
Let her conserve her strength
as much as possible.
**[05:18] Nico**
And, Viola...
**[05:20] Viola**
Yes?
**[05:21] Nico**
I want you to stay here and make sure the
upperclassmen don't do anything dumb.
**[05:25] All**
Huh?!
***SIGN*** Huh?!
**[05:27] Millie**
A babysitter?
***SIGN*** We don't need one!
**[05:28] Pfiefer**
We don't need one!
**[05:29] Evelyn**
We're not going to listen to her—
**[05:30] Viola**
Shut up, all of you!
**[05:36] Ichi**
She seems like the girl for the job.
**[05:37] Nico**
And lastly, Daleth.
Is Sade likely to call allies?
**[05:42] Nico**
If you had to guess.
**[05:44] Daleth**
I can't see her relying on anyone else.
**[05:47] Daleth**
But if I had to guess...
**[05:49] Daleth**
The old me.
**[05:50] Zain**
Hey, there's gonna be two Daleths.
***SIGN*** So what?
**[05:55] Zain**
Two Daleths at the same time!
**[05:58] Zain**
Isn't that something you'd be happy about?
***SIGN*** Yes. It's awesome!
**[06:08] Zain**
I've decided to spend the rest
of my life making fun of you two.
***SIGN*** Whatever...
**[06:12] Nico**
Okay, let's get to it. Zain.
**[06:14] Zain**
Right.
**[06:22] Zain**
All done. It's ready.
**[06:24] Duke**
He learned to make it in an instant.
**[06:26] Alice**
Zain is amazing, isn't he?
**[06:28] Duke**
But I'm really facing Sade, and...
**[06:33] Flea**
Don't worry. I'll protect you.
**[06:36] Flea**
I'm better at protecting
others than hurting them.
**[06:40] Zain**
Don't try to get the girls to like you.
**[06:42] Zain**
Want to hold hands?
**[06:44] Flea**
Perhaps it's inevitable that girls like me,
**[06:46] Flea**
as I've modeled myself after Brother Nico.
**[06:48] Daleth**
You're nothing like him.
**[06:50] Flea**
I am!
***SIGN*** I'll be back.
**[06:52] Zain**
Hold hands...?
**[06:55] Duke**
Okay, let's go, too.
**[06:58] Rob**
Oh, my. You've got so many friends over today.
**[07:01] Rob**
Is it somebody's birthday?
**[07:08] Alice**
Rob, we'll be back.
**[07:09] Duke**
See you later.
**[07:10] Rob**
All right!
**[07:12] Rob**
Safe travels!
**[07:14] Duke**
Sorry I can't hold hands!
**[07:16] Zain**
I appreciate the thought.
**[07:18] Nico**
Zain.
**[07:19] Nico**
Don't take any risks.
**[07:21] Zain**
Don't worry. I'm a magical genius.
**[07:25] Zain**
I'll seduce Sade and come right back!
**[07:28] Ichi**
I'm more worried now than I was before.
**[07:30] Nico**
For now, we'll have to believe in him.
**[07:33] Rob**
Is it your birthday, then, Nico?
**[07:38] Nico**
Yeah, I'm turning ten.
**[07:42] Daleth**
This may not be the time to say it,
but I have the thousand items.
**[07:47] Daleth**
I haven't done the thousand steps, though.
***SIGN*** And when that's done, you can be human?
**[07:51] Daleth**
Yes.
**[07:52] Daleth**
So I need to persuade Sade
so she can take over as boss.
***SIGN*** Yeah, you're right.
**[08:24] Zain**
Looks like I brought everybody
to the same place this time.
**[08:28] Flea**
You really are a genius at magic.
**[08:32] Daleth**
A moron in every other way,
but an excellent mage.
**[08:34] Zain**
Thanks.
**[08:37] Duke**
So this is the mansion as it
was just before I was cursed...
**[08:48] Alice**
Sade just lost both Victor and my mother...
**[08:52] Alice**
She's very unstable right now.
**[08:55] Zain**
So, where is she?
**[08:58] Duke**
Close.
**[09:00] Duke**
Perhaps she sensed us
coming and hid her magic.
**[09:04] Zain**
We just got here, and we're already screwed.
**[09:07] Duke**
Zain, we should wait...
**[09:09] Zain**
If she knows we're here,
there's no point in waiting.
**[09:13] Zain**
I want to break your curse
as soon as possible.
**[09:16] Zain**
I'll be fine.
**[09:18] Zain**
You and Alice stay with Flea.
**[09:22] Flea**
He's a careless man.
**[09:24] Daleth**
If he didn't have his magic,
he'd be the first to die.
**[09:40] Zain**
* If Sade can read minds,*
* then I need to empty mine.*
**[09:45] Zain**
*Empty mind.*
**[09:46] Zain**
*Empty mind.*
**[09:47] Zain**
*Empty mind.*
**[09:49] Zain**
*All I can think of is boobs.*
**[09:52] Zain**
*I'm not the type to just think and not act...*
**[09:57] Zain**
*But she can read my mind, then...*
**[10:11] Sade**
Oh, if it isn't the time-traveling bird.
**[10:15] Sade**
Hello.
**[10:18] Zain**
There you are, Sade.
**[10:22] Zain**
I'm more of an ass man than a boobs man.
**[10:27] Zain**
*Can you hear me?*
**[10:28] Zain**
*We've come to save you.*
**[10:31] Zain**
* You're going to be killed soon because*
* of all the people you've cursed.*
**[10:35] Zain**
*Victor, was it?*
**[10:37] Zain**
*I know you're upset that he died.*
**[10:39] Zain**
*But cursing people won't help.*
**[10:43] Zain**
*Come to the future with us!*
**[10:46] Zain**
*Y-You can't hear me?*
**[10:49] Zain**
Say something, Sade!
**[10:52] Sade**
Give me your time-traveling magic!
**[10:56] Zain**
You're hard to talk to.
**[10:58] Sade**
Amazing... A special magic that I don't have.
**[11:02] Sade**
Last time, you were weak. But not now.
**[11:06] Sade**
I can feel magic and confidence from you.
**[11:09] Sade**
If you make a contract that gives
me your magic, I'll break those curses.
**[11:15] Sade**
How about it?
**[11:17] Zain**
Don't be stupid!
**[11:18] Zain**
If I give it to you, you'll
use it for even worse things!
**[11:22] Sade**
Stop burning them!
**[11:24] Sade**
I won't just break the curses.
**[11:26] Sade**
I'll grant your wish.
**[11:29] Zain**
Wish?
**[11:32] Zain**
*You mean an apron with nothing underneath?*
**[11:37] Zain**
* If she responds to that, it'll*
* mean admitting she can read minds.*
**[11:41] Sade**
*That would make her lonely, yeah.*
**[11:43] Daleth**
Sade, listen to him!
**[11:45] Sade**
Oh, Daleth.
**[11:48] Sade**
I knew you were here.
**[11:50] Sade**
That's quite the bold new look.
**[11:53] Daleth**
Come to the future with us,
and break the curses.
**[11:57] Sade**
For the sake of others?
**[11:59] Sade**
Are you really my sister?
**[12:02] Daleth**
It's for my sake, too.
**[12:04] Daleth**
I want to be human and marry Walter!
**[12:08] Daleth**
So I want you to take over
as boss of the witches!
**[12:14] Sade**
What do you mean?
**[12:15] Sade**
Become human?
**[12:18] Sade**
Have you lost your pride as a witch?
**[12:21] Daleth**
Of course, I'm glad I was born a witch.
**[12:24] Daleth**
But I have someone I want to be with,
even if it means throwing away who I am!
**[12:30] Daleth**
For the first time, I've fallen in love.
**[12:35] Daleth**
You fell in love with Victor,
so you understand, right?
**[12:38] Sade**
Victor is special.
**[12:40] Sade**
You're a failure, but I thought
you were smarter than this.
**[12:46] Sade**
I'm disappointed.
**[12:48] Sade**
You want to quit being a witch for
the sake of such a normal child?
**[12:54] Sade**
You're a witch. You're my sister.
**[12:57] Sade**
Maybe I'll make you remember that!
**[13:03] Zain**
Give it up.
**[13:04] Zain**
No magic.
**[13:05] Sade**
You stopped time, didn't you?
**[13:07] Sade**
Wonderful!
**[13:08] Sade**
I want that magic even more!
**[13:10] Zain**
I said you can't have it!
**[13:12] Sade**
I want it so bad!
**[13:14] Zain**
Stop running!
**[13:16] Zain**
Don't make me do it again and again!
**[13:19] Daleth**
Stop it, Sade!
**[13:23] Sade**
Oh.
**[13:27] Sade**
That's not your magic, is it?
**[13:30] Daleth**
A gyaru taught me it.
**[13:32] Daleth**
I want to talk to you, so I'm tying you up.
**[13:35] Zain**
Kinda hot.
**[13:37] Duke**
I want you to be friends with me... with us.
**[13:41] Sade**
Friends?
**[13:43] Sade**
A noble witch like me, friends with a human?
**[13:46] (Flashback) Sharon**
Let's be friends!
**[13:48] (Flashback) Sade**
Okay!
**[13:50] Duke**
Let's go to the future!
**[13:52] Duke**
I want you to break the
curse and take my hand...
**[13:56] Zain**
We could take you by force, but I want
you to come of your own free will.
***SIGN*** And heal the scars on Daleth's face.
***SIGN*** You can do that, right?
**[14:06] Duke**
I want you to live.
**[14:14] Sade**
But with Victor dead,
I've got no reason to live.
**[14:20] Sade**
I don't know who it is that kills me, but...
**[14:24] Sade**
Was Victor reunited with Liz?
**[14:26] Duke**
He was.
**[14:27] Duke**
He looked so happy.
**[14:32] Sade**
Alice.
**[14:34] Sade**
You look too much like Sharon.
Looking at you upsets me.
**[14:37] Alice**
My aunt said the same thing.
**[14:39] Alice**
I'll set you down.
**[14:41] Sade**
I can break out of this much myself.
**[14:44] Alice**
I'm angry with you for cursing His Grace
and putting my mother to sleep.
**[14:49] Alice**
But you kept your promise with my mother
and healed my illness when I was young.
**[14:56] Alice**
My feelings are complicated.
**[15:02] Alice**
If His Grace wishes to forgive you,
**[15:05] Alice**
I will do so as well.
**[15:07] Alice**
So please...
**[15:09] Alice**
Break his curse.
**[15:10] Sade**
I don't care about his curse.
**[15:13] Sade**
Especially if the daughter of Sharon,
who I hate, is the one asking.
**[15:17] Sade**
But I want your magic!
**[15:19] Sade**
If you won't make a contract,
I'll just take it from you.
**[15:22] Zain**
I don't wanna!
**[15:23] Sade**
I don't care.
**[15:24] Sade**
* I'll use that magic to be*
* with Victor once more...*
**[15:33] Sade**
What are you doing, Alice?
**[15:36] Alice**
I don't want you to suffer anymore.
**[15:41] Zain**
Got her!
**[15:43] Duke**
Thank you, Zain!
**[15:45] Duke**
But you're holding her in a weird way.
**[15:46] Zain**
You'll get mad no matter how I hold her.
**[15:48] Alice**
I'm sorry, Zain. My body moved on its own.
**[15:51] Zain**
It's fine.
**[15:53] Zain**
Sade's not mad. If anything, she's uncertain.
**[15:57] Sade**
Now, give me that time magic!
**[16:01] Zain**
You're still saying that?
**[16:02] Zain**
Stay away!
**[16:04] Daleth**
Sade, wait!
**[16:09] Sade**
Come on out, my cute, obedient little sister!
**[16:15] Daleth**
No!
**[16:17] Daleth**
I was just about to eat my snack!
**[16:21] Daleth**
My clothes are stuck!
***SIGN*** Past Daleth?
**[16:24] Daleth**
Just come out already!
**[16:25] Sade**
Listen, make them leave.
**[16:28] Sade**
I'm counting on you, Daleth.
**[16:30] Daleth**
Okay...
**[16:37] Daleth**
You're me...?
**[16:39] Daleth**
Why aren't you wearing your mask?
**[16:41] Daleth**
I'm you from the future!
**[16:43] Daleth**
The future?
**[16:47] Daleth**
I don't know what you're talking about,
**[16:49] Daleth**
but I have to do whatever Sade says!
**[16:52] Daleth**
You're going to have to leave!
**[16:54] Daleth**
You have to, huh?
**[16:56] Daleth**
It's like Sade owns you.
**[16:59] Daleth**
Shut up!
**[17:06] Duke**
Mr. Flea!
**[17:09] Flea**
That could hurt someone,
or a tree if it hit one.
**[17:12] Flea**
So I'll do this to it.
**[17:14] Flea**
I'll throw it out when I get back.
**[17:16] Duke**
He's nice to people and the environment!
**[17:18] Daleth**
I see...
**[17:20] Daleth**
Physical attacks won't work, then.
**[17:23] Daleth**
But that's fine. Illusions
are what I excel at.
**[17:26] Daleth**
I can make sure none of
you can even stand...
**[17:29] Duke**
I-Illusions?
**[17:30] Daleth**
* This is bad... I have too*
* many people to protect here!*
***SIGN*** Hold it.
***SIGN*** I can't fight you.
***SIGN*** If you want to use an illusion, use it on me.
**[17:44] Sade**
Have you finally decided
to give me your magic?
**[17:47] Zain**
No.
**[17:49] Zain**
Everybody's been too afraid of
you to actually talk, right?
**[17:52] Zain**
So I'm here to talk.
**[17:56] Zain**
I've got a cute girlfriend with a huge
rack, so don't fall in love, okay?
**[17:59] Sade**
That's not happening.
**[18:02] Zain**
Last time we met, you were talking
about how wonderful love was, right?
**[18:07] Zain**
But you're about to curse him to lead a
miserable life, never loving or being loved.
**[18:15] Sade**
And?
**[18:16] Zain**
Those were words of jealousy.
You don't feel like the same person.
**[18:20] Zain**
You're just cursing people
because you're frustrated.
**[18:23] Zain**
It doesn't make sense to curse
Victor's grandson because he died.
**[18:27] Zain**
Admit your mistake and break the curse.
**[18:30] Zain**
Rethink this before you get hurt.
**[18:33] (Flashback) Sade**
What are you doing, Alice?
**[18:35] (Flashback) Alice**
I don't want you to suffer anymore.
**[18:38] Zain**
Please.
**[18:40] Zain**
I don't want to fight a girl.
**[18:42] Sade**
I can't stop.
**[18:43] Sade**
Everything's broken,
and it will never be fixed!
**[18:46] Zain**
Sade!
**[18:47] Sade**
Give up! You're wasting your time!
**[18:49] Daleth**
Cast an illusion on you?
***SIGN*** If I don't give in, go back to the Witches' World.
***SIGN*** And if I admit defeat, we'll all go back to the future.
**[18:58] Duke**
He's just deciding on his own!
***SIGN*** Because I'm better than you.
***SIGN*** I went to the Witches' World on my own,
***SIGN*** and even defeated one of Sade's clones.
***SIGN*** I want to make sure nobody suffers.
***SIGN*** Will you believe in me?
**[19:11] Duke**
All right.
**[19:12] Duke**
I will.
**[19:14] Daleth**
You're quite confident.
**[19:16] Daleth**
But if I can defeat one of you to
make you all leave, that saves time.
**[19:26] Daleth**
Surprised?
**[19:28] Daleth**
It's horrible, even if you
know it's an illusion, right?
**[19:31] Daleth**
You're watching your loved
ones die in front of you.
**[19:34] Daleth**
Tremble.
**[19:35] Daleth**
Mess with Sade, and you'll regret it.
**[19:37] Duke**
Oww! Oww! Oww! Oww!
**[19:42] Duke**
Oww!
**[19:44] Duke**
Oww! Aaah!
**[19:48] Daleth**
*What's wrong with him?*
***SIGN*** Wow, I could watch this all day.
**[20:04] Daleth**
Walter?
**[20:05] Daleth**
Well? Even if it's an illusion,
it still hurts, right?
**[20:08] Daleth**
Admit defeat. To Sade.
***SIGN*** No, it doesn't hurt.
***SIGN*** Not that much. Really.
**[20:17] Daleth**
You're a fool.
***SIGN*** I don't enjoy making the weak suffer like this.
***SIGN*** If I stab you with this, you'll really die.
***SIGN*** That's fine.
***SIGN*** No, I actually don't want you to do it.
***SIGN*** Maybe you don't have a choice.
***SIGN*** But I still don't want you to.
**[20:40] Daleth**
Which is it?
**[20:42] Daleth**
Why are you with my future self, anyway?
**[20:46] Daleth**
What are you to me?
***SIGN*** That, I don't know.
***SIGN*** But I can say what you are to me.
***SIGN*** From the very first time we met, I thought we were a lot alike.
***SIGN*** We both have an older sibling who's caused us a lot of problems.
***SIGN*** Even at home, I spent a lot of time thinking about you.
***SIGN*** All I ever cared about was being the heir...
***SIGN*** But when I was thinking of you, I was able to forget the sense of inferiority I felt.
***SIGN*** Your purity, your innocence...
***SIGN*** They always made me feel so much better.
***SIGN*** To you, I'm just someone you're meeting for the first time.
***SIGN*** Maybe you can't trust me. But I want you to hear me out.
***SIGN*** I...
***SIGN*** I'm in love with Daleth.

**[00:01] Narr**
* Can you imagine a life where you*

**[00:09] Narr**

**[00:15] Narr**

*Even people he'd never met*

So this is the mansion as it
was just before I was cursed...
**[00:35] (Flashback) Sade**
Oh, if it isn't the time-traveling bird.
**[00:38] (Flashback) Zain**
There you are, Sade.
**[00:40] (Flashback) Walter**
I can't fight you.
**[00:42] (Flashback) Walter**
If you want to use an illusion, use it on me.
**[00:50] (Flashback) Walter**
I'm in love with Daleth.
***SIGN*** Episode 33
Loneliness
and Uncertainty
**[02:24] Zain**
I'll say it one more time, Sade.
**[02:27] Zain**
You're fated to die.
**[02:30] Zain**
Stop being stubborn and
come with us to the future!
**[02:33] Sade**
You're wasting your time.
My answer won't change.
**[02:37] Sade**
I'm excited at the chance to fight
a witch who can control time.
**[02:42] Sade**
I can't wait to make...
**[02:44] Zain**
*Crap.*
**[02:45] Zain**
* I accidentally stopped time*
* while she was talking.*
**[02:48] Zain**
* I can't keep up these time*
* stops for much longer.*
**[02:51] Zain**
*Maybe I can hurt her now...*
**[03:00] Zain**
*I can't do it.*
**[03:01] Zain**
*Not when she can't fight back.*
**[03:05] Sade**
...that magic mine.
**[03:07] Sade**
Oh, my.
**[03:09] Sade**
You just stopped time, didn't you?
**[03:10] Sade**
Why didn't you attack me?
**[03:13] Sade**
I'm Sade!
**[03:14] Sade**
You can't hesitate!
**[03:15] Zain**
I'm telling you I'm *not* here to fight!
**[03:18] Zain**
Would you listen?!
**[03:24] Sade**
You're slowing time to dodge, aren't you?
**[03:27] Sade**
You can do that, too?
**[03:29] Sade**
Your magic is incredible!
**[03:31] Zain**
Listen, Sade!
**[03:33] Zain**
I've kept my magic a secret my
whole life, just like you did!
**[03:38] Zain**
So as somebody else who's kept a secret,
I think I can understand you a little!
**[03:44] Sade**
This is none of your business, is it?
**[03:47] Zain**
It is!
**[03:49] Zain**
We've come here to be friends with you.
**[03:52] Sade**
Give it up.
**[03:55] Sade**
You can't trust other people.
**[03:57] Sade**
I can't believe in them...
**[04:00] Sade**
With two exceptions.
***SIGN*** I love you.
***SIGN*** And not just me.
***SIGN*** Everyone...
***SIGN*** likes you!
**[04:17] Daleth**
You love me?
**[04:20] Daleth**
Even though I'm ugly?
***SIGN*** You're beautiful, Daleth!
***SIGN*** If you can't believe me, should I tell you one by one the things I like about you?
**[04:28] Daleth**
W-Wait!
***SIGN*** First is your shy personality. I think it's cute.
**[04:33] Daleth**
S-Stop it! You're embarrassing me!
***SIGN*** The second is how caring you are.
***SIGN*** I think it's cute how all the witches look up to you.
***SIGN*** And third...
**[04:42] Daleth**
Stop it!
**[04:43] Daleth**
Stop it!
**[04:45] Flea**
She's started to squirm in pain.
**[04:47] Duke**
What's happening in there?
***SIGN*** Hey, Daleth.
**[04:54] Daleth**
Walter...
***SIGN*** I'm actually so exhausted I can't move.
**[05:01] Daleth**
You suffered one of my illusions.
**[05:04] Daleth**
It can't be helped.
**[05:06] Daleth**
I'm glad you're safe, though.
**[05:08] Daleth**
*That's my face... and it looks so kind...*
**[05:12] Daleth**
*Are we both in love, then?*
***SIGN*** Daleth.
***SIGN*** I can't fight you.
***SIGN*** Can you just let us be?
***SIGN*** We want to save Sade.
***SIGN*** She's fated to be killed.
**[05:28] Daleth**
Don't be silly.
**[05:30] Daleth**
Who could defeat her?
**[05:32] Daleth**
It's true.
**[05:34] Daleth**
The wizards...
**[05:36] Daleth**
will kill her someday.
**[05:39] Daleth**
Really?
**[05:41] Duke**
We're here to stop that from happening.
**[05:44] Duke**
We'll save her!
**[05:46] Alice**
Believe in us, please, Daleth.
**[05:48] Daleth**
Sade is a terrible sister.
**[05:53] Daleth**
She's done so many awful things to me.
**[05:57] Daleth**
But...
**[05:58] (Flashback) Sade**
Daleth, I love you.
**[06:00] (Flashback) Sade**
The only two people I can open
my heart to are you and Victor.
**[06:08] Daleth**
I don't want her to die.
**[06:12] Daleth**
She may be warped
**[06:14] Daleth**
but she's my only sister.
**[06:16] Daleth**
I want to save her if I can.
***SIGN*** All right. I promise.
**[06:21] Daleth**
I won't help you.
**[06:24] Daleth**
But I will leave.
**[06:27] Sade**
You shouldn't get cocky just
because you can control time.
**[06:31] Sade**
Now, give me that magic.
**[06:35] Zain**
*I'm not getting cocky.*
**[06:37] Zain**
*I'm running out of options.*
**[06:39] Zain**
* Do I have to beat her*
* up and take her with me?*
**[06:48] Zain**
*Don't tell me...*
**[06:57] Sade**
You stopped time while we were
talking again, didn't you?
**[07:00] Zain**
She broke through my magic?
**[07:03] Sade**
Looks like this is pretty exhausting for you.
**[07:06] Sade**
My magical powers are stronger than yours.
**[07:08] Sade**
And if I can get that magic,
I can put it to better use than you!
**[07:12] Sade**
*Yes... I can even see Victor again.*
**[07:16] Zain**
No! Stay away!
**[07:17] Sade**
It's useless. Give up...
**[07:20] Sade**
Daleth!
**[07:22] Duke**
What?
**[07:23] A**
Sade's voice...
**[07:24] Sade**
*Why are you trying to leave?*
**[07:26] Sade**
*You're not going to do what I told you?*
**[07:28] Daleth**
S-Sade!
**[07:30] Daleth**
It's okay.
**[07:31] Daleth**
Leave it to me.
**[07:33] Daleth**
B-But...
**[07:34] Daleth**
Believe in me—in yourself—more
than your sister.
**[07:37] Sade**
*Don't believe in her, Daleth!*
**[07:39] Sade**
*Only listen to me!*
**[07:42] Daleth**
You're me, right?
**[07:44] Daleth**
Aren't you scared of Sade?
**[07:47] Daleth**
I am.
**[07:48] Daleth**
But I've decided I'm getting over it.
**[07:51] Daleth**
Right now... I have people on my side.
**[07:54] Daleth**
I never thought about it...
**[07:56] Daleth**
That I could fall in love with someone...
**[07:59] Sade**
*Wait, Daleth!*
**[08:01] Sade**
*Are you going to betray me, too?!*
**[08:04] Daleth**
Take care of Sade.
**[08:08] Sade**
*Daleth!*
**[08:10] Sade**
Daleth!
**[08:11] Sade**
Daleth!
**[08:15] Zain**
*What's this awful magic I'm sensing?*
**[08:23] Daleth**
I want to go help Zain,
**[08:25] Daleth**
but I'm going to go back to the
future to make sure Walter can rest.
***SIGN*** Sorry to make you do that for me.
***SIGN*** I'm still not worthy to be heir, am I?
**[08:34] Duke**
No, you've done more than enough.
**[08:36] Duke**
You're worthy to be heir.
***SIGN*** More than you, at least.
**[08:42] Daleth**
I'll tell Nico and the
others what's going on.
**[08:45] Daleth**
Handle things till I get back.
**[08:49] Evelyn**
Mr. Nico, I'm bored!
**[08:52] Evelyn**
What do I do?
**[08:53] Millie**
Let's go take a peek!
**[08:55] Millie**
Okay?
***SIGN*** I want to see Mr. Flea!
**[08:55] Pfeifer**
I want to see Mr. Flea!
**[08:58] Viola**
No.
**[08:59] Viola**
You were told to wait here.
**[09:01] All**
Tch...
***SIGN*** Tch...
**[09:04] Ichi**
They are taking a while.
**[09:05] Nico**
Yeah, I hope Zain's not being reckless...
**[09:10] Duke**
Mr. Flea, is Zain okay?
**[09:13] Flea**
His magical power is clearly depleted.
**[09:15] Flea**
The time door is only
barely being held open...
**[09:23] Flea**
This is...
**[09:24] Duke**
Zain!
**[09:42] Duke**
Zain!
**[09:43] Sade**
He's alive.
**[09:46] Sade**
If I killed him, I couldn't
take his time magic.
**[09:49] Sade**
I need to take him back and
make him sign a contract.
**[09:51] Flea**
That won't be happening.
**[09:54] Flea**
If you refuse to be persuaded, then I
am left with no choice but to fight you.
**[10:00] Sade**
I've been wondering who you were...
**[10:02] Sade**
but I recognize you now.
**[10:04] Flea**
Yes. In the past, I served you.
**[10:08] Flea**
Now, I've changed both my face and
name, and I serve as a teacher.
**[10:13] Sade**
So you'll betray me, then.
**[10:15] Flea**
That's not correct.
**[10:17] Flea**
In the past, I was simply ruled by fear.
**[10:20] Flea**
But now, I live for the sake
of someone I truly respect.
**[10:24] Sade**
Absurd.
**[10:28] Duke**
Wait!
**[10:29] Duke**
Please don't hurt my friends!
**[10:32] Sade**
I'm going to curse you soon, aren't I?
**[10:38] Sade**
Why, I wonder?
**[10:42] Sade**
Oh?
**[10:45] Flea**
We're too close to the mansion to fight.
**[10:48] Flea**
So I've moved her.
**[10:50] Duke**
In such a physical way?
**[10:52] Flea**
I shall keep her busy.
**[10:54] Flea**
You take Zain to the future.
**[10:57] Duke**
Wh-What was that just now?
**[10:59] Flea**
A temporary barrier that will
enable you to touch others.
**[11:03] Flea**
When it starts to glow,
it's wearing off. Be careful.
**[11:07] Flea**
When you get back, have
Mr. Nico and the others come after us.
**[11:10] Flea**
Farewell.
**[11:16] Duke**
He's gone...
**[11:17] Duke**
But a barrier that lets me touch others?
**[11:22] Duke**
Wh-What?
**[11:24] Alice**
You really can touch people.
**[11:27] Duke**
Don't risk your life to test it out!
**[11:30] Zain**
Please remember me, once in a while...
**[11:36] Zain**
I lost, bad.
**[11:38] Zain**
I'm sorry.
**[11:39] Duke**
There's nothing to apologize for.
**[11:41] Duke**
You're an amazing witch.
**[11:43] Zain**
No, I was weak.
**[11:45] Zain**
When I stopped time, I couldn't hurt her.
**[11:50] Zain**
It wasn't kindness.
**[11:51] Zain**
I was just too much of a wimp to hurt anyone.
**[11:55] Zain**
If I'd have known I was gonna lose,
**[11:57] Zain**
I would've felt up her tits.
**[12:00] Duke**
You never change.
**[12:02] Girls**
Look, I can do it better than any of you!
**[12:07] Cuff**
Zain?
**[12:08] Zain**
Hey, Cuff.
**[12:09] Zain**
You awake?
**[12:11] Cuff**
You lost?
**[12:13] Zain**
Yup. She got me.
**[12:15] Zain**
She broke through my time stop magic, even.
**[12:19] Ichi**
So a fight is unavoidable, then.
**[12:22] Nico**
Yes. We can take another stab
at persuading her later,
**[12:26] Nico**
but first we need to bring her here by force.
**[12:30] Evelyn**
So it's finally our turn?
***SIGN*** I can't wait!
**[12:32] Pfeifer**
I can't wait!
**[12:34] Viola**
You were listening, right?
**[12:36] Viola**
Next is Cuff and the others!
**[12:37] Viola**
You go last!
***SIGN*** Tch...
**[12:38] All**
Tch!
**[12:43] Zain**
You okay, Cuff?
**[12:45] Zain**
Sade's strong.
**[12:46] Zain**
You don't have to risk it...
**[12:48] Cuff**
No, I'm looking forward to it.
**[12:50] Cuff**
Mrs. Ichi taught me that
**[12:52] Cuff**
if I believe in you and everyone else,
and focus on the fight, I can win.
**[12:56] Cuff**
So... leave it to me!
**[12:59] Cuff**
It's my turn!
**[13:01] Zain**
Got it.
**[13:01] Zain**
Go for it.
**[13:02] Cuff**
Yay!
**[13:04] Zain**
We're going to be friends with Sade, okay?
**[13:06] Zain**
So remember to say, "Nice to meet you!"
**[13:08] Cuff**
Yup! I will if I don't forget!
**[13:10] Duke**
Daleth!
**[13:12] Daleth**
Walter's sleeping in the next room over.
**[13:14] Daleth**
It's just mental exhaustion.
**[13:17] Daleth**
Some rest, and he'll be just fine.
**[13:19] Daleth**
Take care of him while I'm gone, okay, Alice?
**[13:22] Alice**
Leave it to me.
**[13:23] Daleth**
And... never do that again.
**[13:28] Daleth**
I'm glad you weren't hurt, but...
**[13:31] Daleth**
Understood?
**[13:32] Alice**
Yes.
**[13:33] Daleth**
Good answer.
**[13:34] Viola**
Brother?
**[13:35] Viola**
Here.
**[13:37] Duke**
This is Walter's...
**[13:38] Viola**
Yup. He said it could come in handy.
**[13:41] Viola**
Try to be cool once in
a while, okay, Brother?
**[13:45] Duke**
Okay, I'll borrow it.
**[13:47] Viola**
Oh, he says he'll kill you if you lose it.
**[13:49] Duke**
Okay.
**[13:50] Nico**
Okay, we're off.
**[13:52] Nico**
Zain, have you been able to
move the door like I asked?
**[13:55] Zain**
I tried.
**[13:56] Zain**
But my magical power's
depleted, so I'm not sure.
**[13:58] Zain**
If you all end up in different places,
figure it out on your end.
**[14:02] Nico**
Thanks.
**[14:03] Nico**
That's enough.
**[14:08] Cuff**
The letter I wrote?
**[14:10] Cuff**
You carry it with you?
**[14:13] Cuff**
Thanks!
**[14:14] Cuff**
I'll write you another when I get back!
**[14:22] Duke**
See you later, Alice.
**[14:24] Alice**
Yes. Be careful, Your Grace.
**[14:28] Zain**
I guess I need to recover
and get back in the fight!
**[14:32] Zain**
I wonder if Sarah could lick me...
**[14:37] Zain**
I'm so lonely.
**[14:47] Flea**
Do you know where we are?
**[14:49] Flea**
This is where you'll die, someday.
**[14:53] Sade**
I see.
**[14:55] Flea**
What are you thinking about?
**[14:57] Sade**
Nothing important.
**[14:59] Sade**
Just wondering why I'd curse that boy.
**[15:04] Sade**
"Lead a miserable life, never loving
anyone, or being loved in turn..."
**[15:09] Sade**
That's what I said.
**[15:11] Sade**
But wasn't I talking about myself?
**[15:14] Sade**
Did I want Victor's grandson
to understand my loneliness?
**[15:18] Sade**
Or was it just a whim?
**[15:22] Flea**
Your magical power is more
terrifying than before.
**[15:26] Flea**
It will eventually devour
you and go out of control.
**[15:33] Flea**
But you can still change.
**[15:35] Flea**
Won't you come to the future
and break the curse?
**[15:40] Sade**
No.
**[15:44] Sade**
Here comes another one.
**[15:47] Cuff**
Nice to meet you, Sade!
**[15:49] Cuff**
I'm Cuff!
**[15:51] Cuff**
I'm an acrobat at the circus!
**[15:54] Cuff**
Glad to see you!
**[15:56] Sade**
Right, right. Nice to meet you.
**[15:59] Sade**
I was rather down after
what happened with Daleth,
**[16:01] Sade**
but I bet I can still have some fun today.
**[16:03] Nico**
Sade, you know who I am, right?
**[16:07] Sade**
It's Nico the wizard,
and now you're so little!
**[16:10] Sade**
Did you end up so cute because of my curse?
**[16:15] Nico**
I'm not as nice as Zain.
**[16:18] Nico**
I'll take you to the future,
even if I have to drag you there
**[16:21] Nico**
and make you break the curse by force.
**[16:23] Sade**
I'll be glad to go to the future with you.
**[16:26] Nico**
Wha?
**[16:27] Sade**
I was going to go after the
time-traveling witch, anyway.
**[16:32] Sade**
I'm making that magic mine.
**[16:37] Sade**
Oh, dear. I couldn't even react.
**[16:41] Sade**
I'm a little burnt.
**[16:50] Flea**
She's probably unhurt.
**[16:51] Ichi**
We'll keep it up.
**[17:03] Sade**
Four on one? How cruel.
**[17:08] Sade**
I'll...
**[17:11] Sade**
have to make more clones.
**[17:16] Ichi**
There's a lot of them.
**[17:18] Nico**
Individually they're weak.
**[17:20] Nico**
Work together.
**[17:24] Sade**
*They work together well.*
**[17:26] Sade**
*But I can see exactly what they're thinking.*
**[17:31] Sade**
*But she's different.*
**[17:33] Sade**
*She doesn't use her head to fight.*
**[17:35] Sade**
*These are the worst sorts to fight...*
**[17:38] Cuff**
*I want to break his curse.*
**[17:41] Cuff**
*I want Zain to praise me.*
**[17:43] Cuff**
*I love Alice and Viola.*
**[17:45] Cuff**
*Mrs. Ichi, thank you!*
**[17:47] Sade**
*How can she believe in others so easily?*
**[17:51] Sade**
*So purely...*
**[18:02] Nico**
Cuff!
**[18:12] Duke**
What do we do? It's started!
**[18:14] Daleth**
The two of us were sent to the wrong location.
**[18:17] Daleth**
Zain was on the verge of collapse, after all.
**[18:20] Duke**
Sade!
**[18:22] Duke**
Listen to me!
**[18:23] Daleth**
Flea's barrier is still working, right?
**[18:26] Duke**
Yeah.
**[18:29] Daleth**
Then I'll get you as close as I can!
**[18:31] Daleth**
Do the rest on your own.
**[18:32] Duke**
Got it!
**[18:35] Daleth**
Sade!
**[18:44] Duke**
S-Sade, listen to me.
**[18:47] Duke**
I...
**[18:50] Sade**
Sorry.
**[18:52] Sade**
The clones attack on their own, you see.
**[18:56] Sade**
*How stupid.*
**[18:57] Sade**
*"Friends"?*
**[18:58] Sade**
* He's just saying that to*
* get me to break the curse.*
**[19:04] Duke**
Oh, no... The barrier's wearing off.
**[19:08] Duke**
Let's talk, Sade!
**[19:10] Sade**
Shut up already!
**[19:12] Duke**
I can understand why you don't trust people.
**[19:15] Duke**
But I want you to listen to me!
**[19:18] Sade**
Stay away!
**[19:19] Duke**
I just want to be friends!
**[19:23] Sade**
You're lying!
**[19:24] Sade**
I know you're lying!
**[19:25] Duke**
Then let me get close!
**[19:28] Duke**
Read my mind...
**[19:30] Duke**
Please!
**[19:32] Sade**
*I only believed in Victor.*
**[19:35] Sade**
*He never kept any secrets...*
**[19:38] Sade**
*Until the end.*
**[19:40] Sade**
*He never betrayed me!*
**[19:45] Sade**
You were close.
**[19:51] Duke**
I'm close enough that you can
hear my real thoughts, right?
**[19:56] Duke**
I...
**[19:57] Duke**
*I...*
**[19:59] Duke**
*I want to be friends with you!*
**[20:04] Cuff**
*I want to break his curse!*
**[20:09] Alice**
*I don't want you to suffer anymore.*
**[20:14] Duke**
*Believe me, Sade!*
**[20:18] Duke**
And if you could help me too,
that'd be great...
**[20:23] Duke**
Sade!
**[20:29] Nico**
Sorry.
**[20:31] Nico**
It took longer than I thought
to deal with the clones.
**[20:33] Duke**
But there were so many!
**[20:35] Nico**
Daleth and Cuff are doing their best.
**[20:38] Nico**
More importantly...
**[20:41] Sade**
You hate me. You want to kill me.
**[20:44] Sade**
That's what you think, Nico.
**[20:47] Nico**
How did you know?
**[20:49] Sade**
I can tell by looking at your face...
**[20:52] Sade**
is what I'd like you to believe.
**[20:54] Sade**
But I can read minds.
**[20:56] Duke**
You're telling us?
**[20:58] Sade**
I don't care anymore.
**[20:59] Sade**
There's no reason to hide it now.
**[21:01] Sade**
Come on, Nico.
**[21:03] Sade**
You hate me, right?
**[21:05] Sade**
You want to kill me, right?
**[21:07] Nico**
Yeah.
**[21:09] Nico**
In the future timeline,
you killed dozens of my friends.
**[21:14] Sade**
You heard that, right?
**[21:16] Sade**
We can't be friends...
**[21:18] Nico**
But I'm bottling that up inside.
**[21:20] Nico**
Because he wants to coexist with you.
**[21:25] Duke**
Nico...
**[21:26] Nico**
He gave me the possibility
of being friends with you.
**[21:32] Nico**
If you're willing to mend your ways,
**[21:35] Nico**
then my friends won't die.
**[21:37] Nico**
I hate you.
**[21:39] Nico**
But I forgive you.
**[21:41] Nico**
All I need you to do is break the curses.
**[21:44] Sade**
I-I can't believe somebody who has
the desire to kill me in their heart!
**[21:49] Sade**
If I break your curse, you'll kill me!
**[22:03] Alice**
Your Grace...

* Can you imagine a life where you*
* can't even touch the person you love?*
**[00:09] Narr**
* The curse the witch laid upon him caused*
* him to take the lives of any he touched.*
**[00:15] Narr**
* His own mother distanced herself from him,*
* his friends called him a monster...*
**[00:19] Narr**
*Even people he'd never met*
**[00:20] Narr**
* spoke of him as "death incarnate*
* that dwells in the forest."*
**[00:24] Narr**
* And yet, he doesn't feel*
* the least bit lonely.*
**[00:34] Daleth**
Sade, stop this!
**[00:36] Sade**
Shut up, traitor!
**[00:38] Daleth**
I haven't betrayed you!
**[00:40] Daleth**
I just want you—my sister—
to be honest about your feelings!
**[00:44] Daleth**
* I need to change the future*
* for Walter's sake, too!*
**[00:48] Sade**
Honest about my feelings?
I can never be that!
**[00:52] Sade**
I hear everything, even
though I don't *want* to!
**[00:56] Sade**
My parents think I'm creepy!
Everyone betrays me!
**[01:00] Sade**
Everyone's scared of me!
They try to keep me away!
**[01:03] Sade**
They only pretend to obey me!
**[01:04] Sade**
In their hearts, they hate me!
**[01:06] Daleth**
Sade...
**[01:07] Sade**
The first person I ever loved died
before I could take him from Liz.
**[01:11] Sade**
And my little sister is leaving me!
**[01:14] Sade**
I'm jealous of all of you, because
you have somebody who loves you!
**[01:19] Sade**
Nobody will love me!
**[01:22] Sade**
So I'd rather be feared as a queen!
**[01:27] Flea**
Brother Nico! Get away!
**[01:34] Nico**
Flea! Oichi!
**[01:37] Ichi**
I'm fine.
**[01:39] Ichi**
Flea took the hit for me.
**[01:42] Ichi**
Fortunately, it's not a fatal wound, but...
**[01:46] Ichi**
He can't fight anymore today.
**[01:49] Nico**
Thanks for protecting everyone so far.
**[01:52] Nico**
I don't see you as just a teacher. You're
like a real little brother to me, Flea.
**[02:09] Sade**
Yes, this is for the best.
**[02:11] Sade**
This is for the best...

**[03:44] Nico**
Sade! I should've known better
than to try and talk to you!
**[03:47] Nico**
I'll defeat you myself!
**[03:51] Sade**
You're finally saying what you really think.
**[03:53] Sade**
Then let's fight until the end.
**[03:55] Ichi**
Nico, we came here to break the curse.
**[03:58] Ichi**
That's our top priority.
**[04:02] Nico**
Nobody interfere.
**[04:04] Nico**
Please.
**[04:16] Ichi**
Now, it's going to do a number on my legs,
**[04:18] Ichi**
but I'll have to take this fatso back home.
**[04:20] Cuff**
Want me to do it?
**[04:21] Ichi**
No, I want to be the one who does it.
**[04:26] Ichi**
Watch over Nico for a while.
**[04:32] Sade**
*I can read it all.*
**[04:34] Sade**
*I can understand it all.*
**[04:36] Sade**
*Yes.*
**[04:37] Sade**
* I've used this power, and my magic,*
* to make everyone obey me.*
**[04:41] Sade**
*I don't need friends, or comrades.*
**[04:46] Sade**
* We were born as twins to*
* our father, the witch boss.*
**[04:53] Sade**
*I was blessed with magical talent.*
**[04:56] Sade**
*Everyone adored me.*
**[04:58] Sade**
*But Daleth was...*
**[05:01] Sade**
*I felt pity for her.*
**[05:03] Sade**
*Like I had to protect her.*
**[05:06] Sade**
* And at some point, I gained the*
* power to read the minds of others.*
**[05:11] (Flashback) Sade**
Daleth, you were just thinking
about how hungry you are, right?
**[05:14] (Flashback) Daleth**
Wow! How did you know?
**[05:17] (Flashback) Sade**
I just knew.
**[05:20] (Flashback) Sade**
Daddy, you were just thinking
your back itches, right?
**[05:25] (Flashback) Dad**
Huh? Scary...
**[05:26] (Flashback) Dad**
That's scary.
**[05:28] Sade**
* After that, the other witches*
* started to avoid me.*
**[05:33] Sade**
*My father and mother, too...*
**[05:37] Sade**
*The only one I could believe in was Daleth.*
**[05:41] Sade**
*My magic grew more and more powerful.*
**[05:43] Sade**
*But my mother and father stopped praising me.*
**[05:47] Sade**
*They feared my power.*
**[05:51] Sade**
*It wasn't Daleth that needed pity. It was me.*
***SIGN*** Mom
**[05:55] Sade**
* I defeated my father myself*
* and took his role as boss.*
**[06:01] Sade**
*And Daleth, too...*
**[06:04] Daleth**
*I'm scared...*
**[06:07] (Flashback) Sade**
Rejoice. These are magic scars
that can never be healed.
**[06:10] (Flashback) Daleth**
It hurts!
**[06:11] (Flashback) Daleth**
It hurts!
**[06:13] (Flashback) Sade**
We're together forever, Daleth.
**[06:16] (Flashback) Sade**
You won't betray me.
**[06:18] (Flashback) Sade**
Stay with me forever, please.
**[06:22] Sade**
*Everybody knelt before me and feared me.*
**[06:26] Sade**
*I was invincible.*
**[06:28] Sade**
You're doing well, for a mere wizard.
**[06:32] Sade**
But you'll never be able to make me obey.
**[06:37] Nico**
Shut up.
**[06:38] Sade**
Why don't you try and make me?
**[06:42] Nico**
You're not hurt, but you should feel
a pain like your throat was cut.
**[06:47] Nico**
Now I won't have to hear
your voice for a while.
**[06:49] Sade**
*Who cares if I can't speak?*
**[06:51] Sade**
*I'm the queen.*
**[06:53] Sade**
*A being who everyone fears and kneels before.*
**[06:55] Sade**
*Be more afraid.*
**[06:58] Sade**
*Be...*
**[06:59] (Flashback) Victor**
You should learn to like more things.
**[07:03] (Flashback) Victor**
I'm talking about love.
**[07:05] (Flashback) Victor**
I want you to know love.
**[07:07] (Flashback) Victor**
I hope you can learn to love
your little sister, or friends,
**[07:12] (Flashback) Victor**
the same way I love Liz and my son.
**[07:14] Sade**
*No, Victor!*
**[07:20] Sade**
*You're gone!*
**[07:23] Sade**
*I have nowhere to go!*
**[07:24] Sade**
*So... So I can't love!*
**[07:31] Nico**
You lose, Sade.
**[07:34] Nico**
Your magic is abnormally active to the
point that even you can't endure it anymore.
**[07:43] Nico**
If I kill you here, he and
I will never be cursed.
**[07:47] Nico**
I can finally change the future.
**[07:57] Duke**
Wait!
**[07:59] Nico**
Move.
**[08:00] Duke**
I refuse!
**[08:04] Duke**
You can't do this!
**[08:07] Nico**
Knock it off! You'll die!
**[08:11] Sade**
* The curse that kills and the curse of*
* immortality are fighting each other...*
**[08:16] Duke**
We came here to make friends with Sade!
**[08:19] Duke**
You can't do this!
**[08:21] Nico**
You're still saying that?
**[08:23] Duke**
I am!
**[08:24] Duke**
We promised!
**[08:26] Sade**
*Victor's son...*
**[08:36] Sade**
* I wanted to get the time magic*
* so I could see him again.*
**[08:42] Sade**
* I wanted to tell him my*
* feelings before the end.*
**[08:45] Sade**
*What would he say?*
**[08:47] Sade**
* He was so in love with Liz that*
* he would never choose me.*
**[08:52] Sade**
* But if I'd been honest about my feelings,*
* I think he would've taken me seriously.*
**[08:57] Sade**
* Those words, "I want to be friends"...*
* They were real.*
**[09:02] Sade**
* Words without anything hidden*
* behind them, just like Victor...*
**[09:07] Sade**
*Finally... Finally...*
**[09:10] Sade**
* I feel like I can believe*
* in someone... but...*
**[09:15] Sade**
*Maybe it's too late.*
**[09:22] Daleth**
Sade!
**[09:23] Cuff**
What's going on?
**[09:26] Nico**
I was so close to being able to finish her!
**[09:28] Duke**
You can't kill her!
**[09:30] Daleth**
Sade doesn't know what to do...
**[09:33] Daleth**
Her desire to believe in someone and her
closed heart are fighting each other.
**[09:38] Daleth**
With nowhere to go, those feelings
grow stronger and stronger,
**[09:40] Daleth**
They're tainting her magic
and turning it black.
**[09:45] Nico**
But at this rate...
**[09:47] Daleth**
Yes. Her magic will gain a will
of its own and go out of control.
**[09:51] Cuff**
What?
**[09:52] Cuff**
I don't understand, but...
**[10:01] Daleth**
Sade!

Nico! What's this?
**[11:06] Nico**
Sade's magic is out of control.
**[11:08] Nico**
Daleth and the others are still inside.
**[11:11] Nico**
Oichi, help me keep it
from getting any bigger.
**[11:15] Nico**
Girls, I want you to enter where
the magic is weak and save them.
**[11:20] Girls**
Okay!
**[11:23] Evelyn**
I'm not seeing any weakness, actually...

**[11:31] Evelyn**
You came?
**[11:32] Alice**
Evelyn...
**[11:34] Evelyn**
I get it! I totally get it!
**[11:35] Evelyn**
This is "pure love," right?
**[11:37] Evelyn**
There's a similar scene on page
126 of my favorite romance novel!
**[11:43] Alice**
You have it memorized, huh?
**[11:45] Evelyn**
Leave it to me!
**[11:46] Evelyn**
I'll take you to His Grace!
**[11:50] Millie**
I can just cut everything, right?
***SIGN*** I can open a hole for us to go through!
**[11:53] Pfiefer**
I can open a hole for us to go through!
**[11:59] Evelyn**
Nice! Leave it to me!
**[12:03] Evelyn**
Let's go! Charge!
**[12:08] Millie**
Where's Sade?
**[12:09] Pfiefer**
We're not gonna just find her that easy.
***SIGN*** We're not gonna just find her that easy.
**[12:14] Alice**
Sade...
**[12:17] Evelyn**
This is her?
**[12:24] Duke**
*It's cold.*
**[12:25] Duke**
*Like Sade's sadness is flowing into me.*
**[12:28] Duke**
*Sade must be somewhere in here, crying...*
**[12:31] Duke**
*But...*
**[12:33] Duke**
*It's all I can do to hold on!*
**[12:36] (Flashback) Victor**
Sade is a dear friend to me.
**[12:39] (Flashback) Victor**
Take care of her.
**[12:40] Duke**
*I promised my grandfather, but...*
**[12:46] Cuff**
You okay?
**[12:47] Duke**
Cuff!
**[12:48] Duke**
You've always been so cool
since the first time I met you!
**[12:51] Cuff**
Where did that come from?
**[12:53] Cuff**
And I'm happy you're my
first human friend, too!
**[12:57] Cuff**
We'll break through here and take Sade back!
**[13:00] Duke**
Yeah!
**[13:01] Daleth**
I came because I saw the flames.
**[13:04] Daleth**
Good. You're both safe.
**[13:06] Duke**
Daleth!
**[13:08] Millie**
This is too easy!
**[13:10] Millie**
I was hoping we'd get to beat her,
**[13:13] Millie**
but she's already down!
***SIGN*** Mr. Nico lied to us.
**[13:15] Pfiefer**
Mr. Nico lied to us.
**[13:17] Millie**
Can you patch her up, Sarah?
**[13:20] Alice**
Um, Evelyn.
**[13:23] Alice**
Can I go inside Sade using the
magic you showed me before?
**[13:31] Evelyn**
You?
**[13:33] Alice**
I want to wake her up, or if I can't
do that, take her someplace safe.
**[13:38] Millie**
Or we can just chop her up!
***SIGN*** I think the magic might've gotten stronger because she tried to hurt Sade!
**[13:42] Pfiefer**
I think the magic might've gotten
stronger because she tried to hurt Sade!
**[13:52] Evelyn**
I tried, but I don't know what'll
happen if you try it on a witch.
**[13:58] Alice**
It seems it's okay.
**[13:59] Evelyn**
Does nothing scare you?
**[14:02] Evelyn**
Damn it!
**[14:03] Evelyn**
We'll deal with things here!
**[14:04] Evelyn**
Go, Alice!
**[14:12] Alice**
So this is the inside of Sade's heart...
**[14:33] Alice**
Fear.
**[14:36] Alice**
Distance.
**[14:47] Alice**
Farewell.
**[14:51] Alice**
Sister.
**[15:03] Alice**
Encounter and love.
**[15:12] Alice**
Agony.
**[15:14] Alice**
Envy.
**[15:17] Alice**
Ruin.
**[15:22] Alice**
Let's be friends.
**[15:25] Alice**
I want to be...
**[15:27] Alice**
I want you to love me.
**[15:30] Alice**
In any form.
**[15:33] Alice**
Absolutely impossible.
**[15:36] Alice**
Can't believe it.
**[15:39] Alice**
I want to believe.
**[15:42] Alice**
Suffering.
**[15:44] Alice**
I hate being alone.
**[15:53] Alice**
Help.
**[16:03] Alice**
I'm coming.
**[16:06] Duke**
Alice went inside Sade?
**[16:09] Evelyn**
Yeah, she's been in there for a
while, and she's not waking up!
**[16:13] Duke**
Why would Alice do that?
**[16:15] Daleth**
I'm jealous of her mental strength.
**[16:19] Cuff**
Daleth, leave this to me.
**[16:21] Cuff**
Try to talk to Sade.
**[16:23] Daleth**
O-Okay.
**[16:26] Daleth**
Sade... Sister...
**[16:30] Daleth**
Can you hear me? Wake up.
**[16:33] Daleth**
Are you going to leave me again...
without saying a word?
**[16:41] Daleth**
Sade...
**[16:42] Daleth**
I want you to live.
**[16:45] Daleth**
You're my only sister.
**[16:47] Daleth**
You don't have to take over as boss for me!
**[16:51] Daleth**
Please!
**[17:05] Alice**
I've come to get you.
**[17:08] Sade**
Why did you come?
**[17:09] Sade**
Even if I wake up, nobody will be happy.
**[17:13] Sade**
I'm so lonely...
**[17:15] Sade**
And I can't take the loneliness forever.
**[17:19] Sade**
I want to just disappear.
**[17:22] Sade**
I want you to kill me.
**[17:23] Alice**
You're just like His Grace used to be.
**[17:31] Alice**
You wanted a friend who would be
lonely together with you, perhaps.
**[17:36] Alice**
And that's why you held him
in your arms, and cursed him.
**[17:41] Sade**
I wanted a friend?
**[17:42] Sade**
Yes... I might do that.
**[17:46] Sade**
I tried to make Victor's grandson
just as lonely as I was.
**[17:50] Sade**
It's laughable.
**[17:52] Sade**
A monster drunk on her own power,
who only cared for herself.
**[17:56] Sade**
wanting a friend?
**[17:59] Sade**
I had no idea until I met Victor.
**[18:03] Sade**
I had no idea that being with others,
sharing in their feelings, could be fun.
**[18:09] Sade**
He taught me how to believe in others.
**[18:12] Sade**
When I lost him, I lost everything.
**[18:16] Sade**
I have nothing else.
**[18:18] Alice**
We can't be your friends?
**[18:21] Sade**
I'm afraid of being betrayed.
**[18:25] Sade**
And I don't know that I won't
hurt someone in the future.
**[18:29] Sade**
The day may come when you
regret not killing me here.
**[18:36] Sade**
So I want you to kill me now.
**[18:39] Sade**
You have the right to
punish me for cursing him.
**[18:45] Sade**
If I can meet an end befitting of a witch,
**[18:47] Sade**
then that's enough.
**[18:49] Sade**
If you kill me here, this body will die.
**[18:53] Sade**
I'll make it so his curse
and Nico's disappear.
**[18:56] Sade**
Everyone can have a happy ending.
**[19:17] Sade**
I always, always wanted this...
**[19:21] Sade**
I wanted someone to hold me like this...
**[19:28] Alice**
For now, instead of thinking
about the things that hurt you...
**[19:33] Alice**
Believe in the people who love you.
**[19:40] Daleth**
Sade!
**[19:43] Daleth**
Please, Sade!
**[19:45] Daleth**
Wake up!
**[19:47] Daleth**
It's partially my fault this happened to you!
**[19:50] Daleth**
I always just feared you.
I never tried to talk to you.
**[19:55] Daleth**
So as your sister, I want
to give it another try.
**[19:58] Daleth**
I want to understand each other.
**[20:00] Daleth**
So...
**[20:04] Duke**
She's awake!
**[20:06] Sade**
You're crying for me?
**[20:08] Daleth**
Of course I am.
**[20:09] Evelyn**
She's awake!
***SIGN*** Time for the final battle!
**[20:12] Pfiefer**
Time for the final battle!
**[20:13] Pfiefer**
Fgwah!
***SIGN*** Fgwah!
**[20:15] Sade**
You're interrupting. Be quiet for a moment.
**[20:17] Daleth**
Sa—
**[20:20] ---**
Don't—
**[20:26] Sade**
I'm sorry for all I've done.
**[20:27] Sade**
Now...
**[20:28] Sade**
Remove yourself from inside me.
**[20:34] Duke**
Alice!
**[20:35] Alice**
Your Grace... Your Grace!
**[20:38] Duke**
Alice—
**[20:39] Duke**
No, you don't!
**[20:40] Alice**
I'm sorry.
**[20:42] Alice**
I was just so worried this whole time.
**[20:43] Alice**
So I came here.
**[20:46] Alice**
Are you hurt?
**[20:48] Duke**
I'm okay.
**[20:48] Duke**
Everyone protected me.
**[20:50] Duke**
I got some scrapes, but I'm fine.
**[20:54] Daleth**
They're really gone...
**[20:56] Cuff**
I'm glad she healed them for you.
**[20:58] Daleth**
Yeah...
**[20:59] Daleth**
More than anything, I'm happy Sade
apologized and healed them herself.
**[21:05] Daleth**
I can't wait for Walter to see this.
**[21:08] Daleth**
Follow me.
**[21:10] Daleth**
We'll take Sade and get out of here.
**[21:17] Sade**
So when I lost consciousness,
my magic was protecting me.
**[21:22] Sade**
But it's okay now.
**[21:24] Sade**
You don't need to attack anyone anymore.
**[21:26] Sade**
I'm going to believe in them,
the first friends I ever made.
**[21:31] Sade**
It's ironic. That it's thanks
to not only Victor's grandson,
**[21:35] Sade**
but also Sharon's daughter, that I realize.
**[21:39] Sade**
Now, return to me.
**[21:41] Sade**
We'll work up the courage
to move forward together.
**[21:44] Sade**
With everyone else.
**[21:51] Sade**
What?
**[21:52] Sade**
You refuse to let me have friends?
**[21:55] Sade**
You're a little brat, my magic.
**[21:58] Sade**
Who do you think I am?
**[22:00] Sade**
I'm Sade.
**[22:02] Sade**
The strongest witch in history.

***SIGN*** Episode 35
Friends, a Broken Curse, and Then...
**[01:34] Nico**
Her magic's incredible!
**[01:36] Nico**
Is everybody okay?
**[01:42] Nico**
What do you think you're doing, Sade?
**[01:48] Sade**
Nico, I'm sorry for everything.
**[01:55] Sade**
Now, watch me be reborn.
**[02:01] Nico**
Sade... apologized?
**[02:07] Ichi**
She's fighting her own magic?
**[02:19] Duke**
Sade...
**[02:24] Cuff**
Something's coming!
**[02:31] Daleth**
Her magic's so powerful...
**[02:33] Daleth**
There's too many of them!
**[02:34] Duke**
Use me as a shield!
**[02:36] Cuff**
We can't hold it off...
**[02:44] Zain**
I stopped time just for the enemy.
**[02:46] Zain**
I guess that does make me a genius, huh, Cuff?
**[02:49] Cuff**
Zain! You came!
**[02:51] Cuff**
Are you okay?
You're not pushing yourself too hard?
**[02:54] Zain**
I'm fine.
**[02:56] Zain**
Just seeing your face makes me all better.
**[03:01] Cuff**
Zain! Zain! Zain!
**[03:04] Zain**
Yeah, right...
**[03:05] Duke**
You okay too, Walter?
***SIGN*** Yes.
***SIGN*** I can't stay resting forever.
***SIGN*** Now, give me back my hilt.
**[03:13] Duke**
Well, it's, um...
**[03:15] Duke**
I kind of lost it...
***SIGN*** You piece of trash!
**[03:19] Duke**
I'm sorry!
**[03:20] Daleth**
Walter!
**[03:23] Daleth**
I got it for you.
***SIGN*** Thank you, Daleth.
***SIGN*** Your scars...
**[03:28] Daleth**
Sade got rid of them.
**[03:30] Daleth**
I couldn't wait to show you.
**[03:32] Daleth**
Do I look weird?
***SIGN*** I'm glad that what's bothering you is gone.
**[03:38] Zain**
Hey, I can't keep this up forever!
**[03:40] Zain**
Let's get somewhere safe!
**[03:46] Sade**
My magic's as powerful as I expected.
**[03:48] Sade**
It's more powerful than any
witch I've ever faced.
**[03:54] Sade**
But it'll be a billion years
before you can beat me!
**[04:05] Zain**
It only took an instant, huh?
**[04:08] Evelyn**
Huh? What's that?
**[04:15] Sade**
You were trying to protect me, right?
**[04:18] Sade**
Come back inside me.
**[04:27] Daleth**
Sade!
**[04:30] Daleth**
I'm so glad you came back alive...
**[04:38] Sade**
I'll break both their curses.
**[04:44] Sade**
I'm done hating and hurting people
**[04:46] Sade**
and trying to rule them with fear.
**[04:49] Sade**
I'm sure I'll be much happier this way.
**[04:53] Daleth**
Sister...
**[04:55] Nico**
Then you'll come to the future with us?
**[04:59] Sade**
If I do, the future will change.
**[05:02] Sade**
I'll stay here and adjust the timeline.
**[05:07] Sade**
You may be worried about leaving me behind...
**[05:10] Sade**
But believe me.
**[05:12] Sade**
I won't make any more mistakes.
**[05:16] Nico**
All right. I will.
**[05:18] Sade**
Thank you.
**[05:19] Sade**
And what should I do about the
young you, in the mansion?
**[05:24] Sade**
Would you like to live
a life without a curse?
**[05:27] Sade**
Or perhaps...
**[05:29] Duke**
I want the life I have.
**[05:32] Duke**
I met everyone because of the curse.
**[05:34] Duke**
My friends are my pride and joy.
**[05:37] Duke**
And more than anything, I want
to live with Alice and Rob.
**[05:40] Sade**
All right.
**[05:41] Sade**
Then I'll hold you gently
in my arms and curse you.
**[05:44] Sade**
Now, I think it's time to break the curses.
**[05:47] Sade**
Are you ready, Nico?
**[05:49] Nico**
Me first?
**[05:50] Sade**
We can make a contract if you'd like...
**[05:53] Nico**
No, never mind.
**[05:54] Nico**
I've decided to believe you.
**[05:56] Nico**
Do it.
**[05:57] Pfiefer**
Mr. Nico...
***SIGN*** Mr. Nico...
**[05:59] Evelyn**
We can finally see what you really look like!
**[06:02] All**
Mr. Nico!
***SIGN*** Mr. Nico!
**[06:08] Ichi**
Are you okay, Nico?
**[06:13] Nico**
Yes. I'm just fine.
**[06:16] Nico**
Oichi.
**[06:19] Nico**
Let's go home.
**[06:21] Nico**
To our village.
**[06:24] Ichi**
Yes, everyone's waiting.
**[06:26] Millie**
Hooray, Mr. Nico!
**[06:28] Evelyn**
Let's show Mr. Flea how you look, first!
**[06:31] Evelyn**
I'm sure he'll be happy!
**[06:33] Nico**
Thank you so much, everyone.
**[06:36] Nico**
Now, Sade.
**[06:37] Nico**
It's his turn.
**[06:39] Ichi**
Once we've seen that, we'll
be going back ahead of you.
**[06:43] Ichi**
We didn't spend much time together,
but thanks for everything.
**[06:46] Cuff**
No, we're the ones
who should be thanking you!
**[06:49] Cuff**
I don't know if I could've protected
everyone if I hadn't met you...
**[06:54] Ichi**
Sure, sure.
**[06:56] Evelyn**
We'll see each other again someday!
**[06:59] Evelyn**
It's a promise!
**[07:00] Sade**
Are you ready, then?
**[07:02] Duke**
Wait a second.
**[07:04] Duke**
I want to take a deep breath first, and...
**[07:06] Sade**
I'll get started.
**[07:07] Duke**
She's not listening at all!
**[07:11] Sade**
And we're done.
**[07:12] Duke**
That's all?
**[07:16] Sade**
Touch it.
**[07:22] Sade**
Nothing you touch will die anymore.
**[07:25] Sade**
I'm not lying to you.
**[07:28] Sade**
If you believe me, then try it.
**[07:38] Alice**
Your Grace... your hand.
**[07:52] Alice**
Your Grace! Your Grace! Your Grace!
**[08:03] Alice**
Your Grace... I'm so happy for you...
**[08:09] Duke**
Alice...
**[08:11] Alice**
It's like a dream come true.
**[08:13] Duke**
It's not a dream.
**[08:15] Duke**
I can feel you...
**[08:18] Duke**
I'm touching you...
**[08:20] Duke**
The curse is gone.
**[08:29] Duke**
Alice, I didn't know how
warm your tears were.
**[08:34] Alice**
Your tears are warm, too.
**[08:37] Alice**
I'm so happy.
**[08:38] Alice**
This is the happiest I've ever been.
**[08:41] Alice**
No one will fear you or
ostracize you anymore.
**[08:47] Alice**
I've never been so happy in my
life as I am touching you now.
**[08:53] Sade**
There was no meaning
to it at all, was there?
**[08:57] Sade**
A curse to love no one and
be loved by none in turn...
**[09:02] Daleth**
There was a meaning.
**[09:04] Daleth**
The curse brought them together.
**[09:06] Daleth**
It was fate.
**[09:10] Duke**
Sade...
**[09:12] Duke**
Thank you for breaking the curse.
**[09:16] Sade**
Why are you saying that
to me, the cause of it?
**[09:19] Sade**
Well, the others already left, I guess.
**[09:22] Sade**
You should get back, too.
**[09:26] Duke**
*My hat...*
**[09:28] Sade**
*It looks good on you.*
**[09:30] Sade**
*Not as good as it did on Victor, though.*
**[09:32] Duke**
*Thank you.*
**[09:35] Sade**
*Now, get going.*
**[09:37] Sade**
*I have no end of things to do.*
**[09:39] Daleth**
*Will you really be okay on your own?*
**[09:42] Sade**
* If I get bored, maybe I'll*
* take a lover someday.*
**[09:47] Duke**
*Farewell, Sade. And thank you.*
**[09:49] Duke**
*For being my friend.*
**[09:51] Sade**
*No, thank you.*
**[09:53] Sade**
*And once again, I'm sorry.*
**[09:56] Sade**
*See you in the future.*
**[09:57] Duke**
*Yeah, see you.*
**[09:59] Sade**
Bye.
**[10:12] Sade**
And checkmate!
**[10:13] Duke**
She's here!
**[10:15] Viola**
You read my mind again!
**[10:17] Viola**
It makes me *so* mad!
**[10:18] Viola**
I keep trying, but I can't beat you!
**[10:20] Viola**
Oh, welcome back.
**[10:21] Viola**
She just came knocking a few minutes ago.
**[10:23] Viola**
She said you'd all be home soon.
**[10:26] Duke**
Sade?
**[10:27] Sade**
It's been a while!
**[10:28] Sade**
Well, maybe not for you.
**[10:32] Viola**
Oh, Nico and the others took Flea home.
**[10:35] Viola**
Nico looked so old now.
**[10:37] Duke**
Why do you look happy?
**[10:39] Viola**
Well, it's fine, isn't it?
**[10:41] Viola**
And more importantly...
**[10:43] Duke**
The curse is gone.
**[10:44] Viola**
Hooray!
**[10:46] Viola**
Congratulations, Brother.
**[10:48] Viola**
I'll give you a special hug.
**[10:50] Duke**
Thanks...
**[10:54] Duke**
I've caused a lot of trouble
for you, haven't I?
**[10:57] Rob**
As long as it all worked out,
**[10:59] Rob**
that's all that matters.
**[11:07] Cuff**
Wow!
**[11:08] Zain**
Congratulations!
**[11:10] Viola**
Good work, everybody!
**[11:10] Daleth**
The future really didn't change?
**[11:12] Sade**
Not really. The only difference is that Nico's
wizard friends and I are still alive.
**[11:18] Sade**
I turned over control of
the Witches' World to you.
**[11:21] Daleth**
And that lover you mentioned?
**[11:25] Sade**
Well, a lot's happened.
**[11:26] Daleth**
*She suddenly seems grown-up!*
**[11:29] Sade**
I'm willing to go back to
being the boss, if you want.
**[11:32] Sade**
From now on, I'll be fun and
easygoing, like you were.
**[11:35] Zain**
Are we doing a circle?
**[11:37] Daleth**
Thank you!
**[11:38] Daleth**
Okay, I've got to tell Keto
and Teto and the others!
**[11:41] Duke**
Oh, wait.
**[11:44] Duke**
Sade.
**[11:45] Duke**
Let's go see Grandfather Victor and his wife.
**[11:49] Sade**
Victor...?
**[11:50] Duke**
He called you a dear friend.
**[11:53] Duke**
I'm sure he'd be happy if
he knew you were alive.
**[11:58] Rob**
I'll go with you!
**[12:00] Viola**
I brought a canteen!
**[12:02] Sade**
I haven't said I was going...
**[12:04] Zain**
Sade, go.
**[12:07] Zain**
We'll go buy some booze.
**[12:09] Daleth**
I'll stay here with Walter.
**[12:11] Daleth**
Why not go?
**[12:14] Sade**
I don't know if I have the right to see him.
**[12:16] Sade**
But maybe I'll go say all
the things I want to say.
**[12:19] Duke**
Re...ally?
**[12:22] Duke**
Could you refrain from using
magic to just take us right there?
**[12:25] Sade**
It seemed faster.
**[12:32] Duke**
Grandfather! Grandmother!
**[12:35] Victor**
Oh, it's you!
**[12:37] Victor**
Sade!
**[12:39] Sade**
It's been a long time, Victor.
**[12:41] Victor**
I'm surprised to see you.
It really has been a long time.
**[12:44] Victor**
I'm glad you're alive.
**[12:47] Victor**
Liz and I aren't, so it
means all the more to us.
**[12:51] Victor**
Thank you for coming, Sade.
**[12:55] Sade**
I'm glad you got to be with your wife again.
**[12:58] Sade**
I want the person I fell in
love with to always be happy.
**[13:03] Victor**
Sade...
**[13:04] Sade**
Don't look so grim.
**[13:07] Sade**
I finally got to tell you my feelings.
**[13:10] Sade**
Now I can finally close
the book on my first love.
**[13:14] Sade**
Oh, I don't love him anymore.
**[13:17] Sade**
This was before you met.
**[13:20] Liz**
Oh, don't mind me.
**[13:24] Sade**
I caused your family a lot of trouble.
**[13:28] Sade**
I'm sorry.
**[13:31] Sade**
I said what I wanted to, so I'm satisfied!
**[13:33] Sade**
I hope you'll live happily ever after!
**[13:35] Sade**
Make sure you don't drown
in each other's eyes!
**[13:37] Viola**
Where are you going?
**[13:40] Liz**
She was a lot more relaxed than I'd heard.
**[13:43] Victor**
She changed.
**[13:45] Victor**
Thanks to meeting you all.
**[13:48] Victor**
I'm proud of that, too.
**[13:51] Viola**
Hey, Brother.
**[13:53] Viola**
What are the two of them saying?
**[13:56] Viola**
Give me those glasses!
**[13:57] Duke**
Oh, sure.
**[13:58] Liz**
Oh, she talked! She's so cute!
**[14:03] Viola**
Here you go, Rob. You first.
**[14:06] Rob**
Oh, thank you!
**[14:11] Rob**
Master...
**[14:13] Victor**
Rob, there's something I
want you and Alice to hear.
**[14:14] Viola**
What were they talking about?
**[14:15] Duke**
Well...
**[14:28] Rob**
I'm aware.
**[14:33] Duke**
Alice? What's wrong?
**[14:35] Alice**
Nothing, Your Grace.
**[14:37] Viola**
You done? My turn next!
**[14:40] Viola**
Wow, just like in the portraits!
**[14:43] Liz**
My granddaughter!
**[14:45] Victor**
She's so cute I want to haunt her.
**[14:48] Liz**
That's right...
**[14:54] Duke**
Okay, Grandfather, Grandmother.
**[14:57] Duke**
I'll come see you again.
**[14:59] Viola**
It was so much fun!
**[15:01] Liz**
Take care!
**[15:11] Victor**
I told them something cruel, I'm afraid.
**[15:13] Liz**
It's not your fault.
**[15:15] Liz**
It's the destiny of every noble family.
**[15:22] All**
It's your Congratulations on
Breaking Your Curse Party!
**[15:26] Duke**
I-Is this...?
**[15:27] Cuff**
Everybody who stayed behind
did the decorating!
**[15:30] Cuff**
I'm clumsy, so I just cheered them on!
**[15:35] Duke**
Thank you all...
**[15:37] Duke**
I'm so happy!
**[15:38] Zain**
Okay, let's drink till morning and party!
**[15:41] Cuff**
Viola and Sade, join in!
**[15:43] Viola**
Oh, sorry. We have to go,
or Mom will get mad.
**[15:49] Viola**
Right, Brother Walter?
***SIGN*** Oh, yes.
**[15:52] Daleth**
Okay, we'll walk you home.
**[15:55] Duke**
Yeah? That's a shame...
**[15:57] Walter**
*When Mother finds out the curse is broken,*
**[16:00] Walter**
*I won't be able to become heir.*
**[16:02] Walter**
*But... But...!*
***SIGN*** I've got Viola and Daleth by my side!
***SIGN*** I don't care about being heir at all! Not a bit! Not in the slightest!
***SIGN*** Farewell!
**[16:17] Cuff**
He really cares.
**[16:19] Duke**
Yeah.
**[16:21] Zain**
Okay, guys, time for a toast!
**[16:24] Duke**
Yeah, a toast!
**[16:25] Cuff**
A toast!
**[16:25] Duke**
Thanks, everyone!
**[16:27] Daleth**
Let's head back to our world
once we send them home.
**[16:31] Daleth**
You haven't been back even once, right?
**[16:33] Sade**
Part of me wants to see this to the end.
**[16:35] Daleth**
See what?
**[16:36] Sade**
What choice they make,
and what ending they reach.
**[16:41] Sade**
Even I can't tell.
**[16:45] Sade**
Two hearts that love each other
aren't such a simple thing.
**[16:59] (Flashback) Victor**
With the curse broken, he'll have
to return to the family home.
**[17:05] (Flashback) Victor**
It's tradition among nobility that
the eldest becomes heir.
**[17:09] (Flashback) Victor**
And that tradition cannot be broken.
**[17:11] (Flashback) Victor**
His relationship with you will surely change,
**[17:14] (Flashback) Victor**
as will his life.
**[17:17] (Flashback) Victor**
As for what you two will do...
**[17:21] (Flashback) Victor**
The day will come soon when
you'll have to choose.
**[17:24] (Flashback) Rob**
I'm aware.
**[17:27] (Flashback) Victor**
I want you to prioritize your own feelings,
not what others care about.
**[17:32] (Flashback) Victor**
Understand?
**[18:56] Alice**
*Your Grace,*
**[18:57] Alice**
* as of yesterday, I have resigned*
* from being your maid.*
**[19:02] Alice**
* These two years or so have been*
* short, but have felt so long.*
**[19:05] Alice**
*Thank you for everything.*
**[19:08] Alice**
* It would hurt me for you to live apart*
* from your family because of my presence.*
**[19:15] Alice**
* You have a shining future*
* awaiting you as a noble.*
**[19:18] Alice**
*May it be filled with blessings.*
**[19:22] Duke**
Rob...
**[19:24] Duke**
Rob!
**[19:26] Duke**
Rob...
**[19:27] Duke**
Did you know?
**[19:29] Duke**
Did you know she would leave?
**[19:31] Rob**
Yes.
**[19:32] Rob**
She has her own life to lead.
**[19:36] Rob**
And she told me to keep it a secret from you.
**[19:39] Rob**
So I did.
**[19:41] Duke**
That's awful... That's *awful*!
**[19:43] Duke**
How could you not tell me?
**[19:46] Duke**
Alice... I told you so many
times I wanted to be with you!
**[19:58] Rob**
This is the train she's planning to board.
**[20:01] Rob**
I copied it down when she wasn't looking.
**[20:04] Rob**
The rest, you decide for yourself.
**[20:07] Rob**
Whether you want to be heir, or have Alice...
**[20:12] Duke**
I've known forever!
**[20:16] Rob**
Best of luck.
**[20:31] Alice**
*It was such a fun two years...*
**[20:34] Alice**
*More than I ever deserved in my life.*
**[20:40] Alice**
*I met so many wonderful people.*
**[20:44] Alice**
* If His Grace becomes heir, some day*
* he'll meet someone worthy of him...*
**[20:49] Alice**
*and I'll be nothing but a distant memory.*
**[20:55] Alice**
* And when that day comes...*
* I know I'll see you all again.*
**[21:03] Alice**
I'm sorry, Your Grace.
**[21:07] Alice**
Goodbye.
**[21:31] Duke**
Alice!
**[21:33] Duke**
Wait!
**[21:36] Duke**
Wait, Alice!
**[21:37] Duke**
Listen to me!
**[21:40] Duke**
Please, Alice!
**[21:43] Duke**
Alice!
**[21:46] Duke**
I...
**[21:47] Duke**
I need you!
**[21:49] Duke**
I want you by my side!
**[21:53] Alice**
You don't need me.
**[21:55] Alice**
You have so many friends now.
**[21:58] Alice**
You don't need me anymore.
**[22:01] Duke**
My friends are important to me!
**[22:04] Duke**
But you're special!
**[22:07] Duke**
I love you!
**[22:08] Duke**
Let's go home, Alice,
and talk about the future!
**[22:12] Duke**
We can...
**[22:12] Alice**
I didn't want you to follow me!
**[22:16] Alice**
I'd finally gotten to the
point where I could give up.
**[22:18] Alice**
And now that's gone...
**[22:21] Alice**
Please...
**[22:22] Alice**
I'll get in the way of all the
happiness you deserve in your future.
**[22:28] Alice**
I love you!
**[22:30] Alice**
I love you, and that's
why I want to leave you!
**[22:33] Alice**
I have to leave you!
**[22:36] Alice**
I can't have you...
**[22:39] Duke**
You're the one who taught me
**[22:42] Duke**
the meaning of the wilted white rose...
**[22:45] Duke**
"To swear your whole life to someone!"
**[22:49] Duke**
I don't care if I have to live
apart from my family again,
**[22:54] Duke**
or if I'm poor,
**[22:56] Duke**
or even if everyone hates me!
**[22:58] Duke**
I know how I feel!
**[23:01] Duke**
I...
**[23:02] Duke**
I want to be with you!
**[23:04] Duke**
What makes me happiest is being with you!
**[23:09] Duke**
If you're willing to believe my words...
understand my feelings...
**[23:13] Duke**
Then please, take this flower!
**[23:18] Duke**
Please...
**[23:19] Duke**
Marry me!
**[23:29] Alice**
I will.
**[23:30] Alice**
I love you, Your Grace.

**[00:11] Alice**
Good morning, Your Grace.
**[00:13] Duke**
So close.
**[00:15] Duke**
You're still here, too!
**[00:17] Alice**
I won't ever disappear again.
***SIGN*** Episode 36
The Duke of Death and His Maid
**[00:26] Duke**
Now then, good morning, Alice.
**[00:29] Alice**
Good morning, Your Grace.
**[00:32] Duke**
Would you stop that?
**[00:33] Duke**
I'm going to lose my title soon.
**[00:37] Duke**
And, um... I'd like it if
you called me by my name.
**[00:41] Alice**
Master Victor?
**[00:46] Duke**
You don't need to call me "master".
**[00:48] Alice**
No, it would make me blush, so I'll
keep it like this for a while.
**[00:52] Alice**
Master Victor.
**[00:53] Alice**
Master Victor.
**[00:56] Alice**
It feels strange.
**[00:58] Duke**
Say it more.
**[00:59] Alice**
Master Victor.
**[01:01] Alice**
Master Victor.
**[01:02] Duke**
Once more.
**[01:04] Alice**
Today you're heading to the family home.
**[01:06] Alice**
You need to get ready.
**[01:09] Duke**
I'm sure Mother will be mad.
**[01:13] Alice**
Shall I go with you?
**[01:16] Duke**
No, it's fine.
**[01:18] Duke**
I'll go let her scold me on my own.
**[01:21] Duke**
I owe her that much, I think.
**[01:32] Duke**
So, you see, well...
**[01:34] Duke**
I'm marrying Alice!
**[01:37] Duke**
I renounce my inheritance!
**[01:39] Duke**
I'm sorry.
**[01:40] Gerbera**
I assumed you'd say that.
**[01:44] Gerbera**
After our talk the night of the dance party,
I knew how strong your feelings were.
**[01:49] Gerbera**
I spoke about it with Sharon, too.
**[01:51] Gerbera**
I told her we have to change the old rules.
**[01:55] Sharon**
That's right. It's sad that you can't
be married when you're in love!
**[02:00] Gerbera**
I'll be giving the family
inheritance to Walter.
**[02:03] Gerbera**
You've been away from
noble society for so long,
**[02:06] Gerbera**
that in a way, he's more
suited to it than you.
**[02:09] Duke**
You're really okay with this?
**[02:11] Duke**
I came here expecting you'd
never want to see me again.
**[02:15] Gerbera**
The happiness of you children...
**[02:19] Gerbera**
is my happiness.
**[02:31] Gerbera**
Since you'll be leaving the family,
you'll have to leave the villa.
**[02:35] Gerbera**
That's okay, right?
**[02:37] Duke**
Yes.
**[02:38] Duke**
But I'd like to use it for the
wedding. Can it be after that?
**[02:42] Gerbera**
Of course.
**[02:43] Gerbera**
And tell Rob that if he'd like
to come back, we'll be waiting.
**[02:48] Gerbera**
He's free to make
whatever decision he likes.
**[02:50] Duke**
I'll tell him.
***SIGN*** You're leaving already?
**[02:58] Duke**
Yeah. I said everything
I came here to say.
**[03:01] Duke**
Thank you so much, Walter.
***SIGN*** I did it all for myself.
***SIGN*** I'm not a spare anymore.
***SIGN*** So I can say what I truly feel...
***SIGN*** "I'm glad your curse is broken. And congratulations on your marriage, Brother."
**[03:16] Duke**
Walter...?
**[03:17] Duke**
Thank you.
***SIGN*** And so starting today, I am the heir!
***SIGN*** Kneel before me!
**[03:26] Keto**
Just one step left, huh?
**[03:29] Teto**
The last step is to kiss a human, and then
you can become a human, right, Daleth?
**[03:34] Daleth**
Yes, but...
**[03:36] (Flashback) Walter**
If you're willing to marry me,
then ask me for a kiss again.
**[03:41] Daleth**
That's what he said, but I
don't know if he remembers.
**[03:46] Daleth**
Maybe he didn't really mean it...
**[03:48] Keto**
Why not go see for yourself?
**[03:51] Daleth**
Um, could I kiss you?
**[03:55] Daleth**
Oh, and are you still cool
with the marriage thing?
**[03:57] Daleth**
Eww! No way can I do that!
**[04:00] Teto**
Cheer up, Daleth.
***SIGN*** She's so cute!
***SIGN*** Swimsuit!
***SIGN*** Daleth!
***SIGN*** GoGo Daleth!
**[04:03] Teto**
The guys on my Witches' World
livestream are cheering you on, see?
***SIGN*** You can do it, Daleth!
***SIGN*** I'm so jealous!
***SIGN*** It'll be fine!
***SIGN*** Daleth! Daleth! Daleth!
***SIGN*** Kiss! Kiss!
***SIGN*** It'll be fine!
***SIGN*** Let's celebrate when you kiss!
***SIGN*** I'm sure they're waiting!
***SIGN*** Keto-chin's hair is so cute.
***SIGN*** You can do it, Daleth!
**[04:08] Daleth**
Livestream?
***SIGN*** Cheer up!
***SIGN*** I want to be the sand.
**[04:09] Daleth**
Why are you streaming?
**[04:10] Keto**
Gyaru are open about everything!
**[04:12] Sade**
Daleth's finally going to be human, huh?
***SIGN*** Awesome!
**[04:16] Daleth**
Sade!
***SIGN*** Best ep ever!
***SIGN*** Sade! Daleth!
***SIGN*** Best sisters!
***SIGN*** Saaaadddeee!
**[04:17] Sade**
You're serious about this, so I won't try
to stop you, but it's tough being human.
***SIGN*** She's beautiful
***SIGN*** Sade!
***SIGN*** There's a rabbit, too
***SIGN*** I love you!
***SIGN*** Great
***SIGN*** The boss!
***SIGN*** I love you!
***SIGN*** So peaceful
***SIGN*** Today's gonna be a good day
***SIGN*** Today's great
**[04:24] Sade**
You can't use magic.
**[04:25] Sade**
And your lifespan is much shorter.
**[04:29] Sade**
It makes me sad now just thinking of
how little time we'll have together.
**[04:38] Daleth**
I love you, Sade.
**[04:40] Sade**
Me too, Daleth.
**[04:42] Sade**
But time only means something
because it's not limitless, right?
**[04:47] Sade**
I'll keep on loving you as best I can.
**[04:51] Sade**
Be happy, Daleth.
**[04:54] Sade**
Sister...
**[04:56] Sade**
But will I be okay?
**[04:58] Sade**
He's a noble. Even if I become human,
I don't know if they'll let me marry him.
**[05:04] Sade**
I'll make them let you!
**[05:06] Sade**
I'm a million times more
important than any human noble!
**[05:10] Daleth**
Thank you.
**[05:12] Daleth**
But...
**[05:13] Daleth**
The idea of the kiss just
freaks me out so much!
***SIGN*** The idea of the kiss just freaks me out so much!
**[05:18] Teto**
Why are you burying your head in the sand?
**[05:19] Keto**
Daleth, the rest of the witches
are giving you ideas for the kiss.
**[05:27] Daleth**
Everyone!
**[05:28] Sade**
They're cheering on Daleth's love, right?
**[05:31] Sade**
That makes me happy.
**[05:37] Daleth**
Thank you.
**[05:38] Daleth**
I'll put your opinions to good use.
**[05:49] Ringmaster**
It's been a long time.
**[05:50] Ringmaster**
I'm happy to see you again.
**[05:53] Zain**
You work things out with your family?
**[05:55] Duke**
Mostly, yeah.
**[05:56] Duke**
The paperwork to leave the
family is almost done.
**[05:59] Duke**
I know I can trust Walter
to take over for me.
**[06:03] Zain**
You seem different somehow.
**[06:05] Zain**
'Cause you're not a virgin anymore?
**[06:07] Duke**
No!
**[06:08] Duke**
We promised to not even
kiss until the wedding.
**[06:11] Zain**
Seriously? Really?
**[06:12] Zain**
Are you a saint or something?
**[06:14] Duke**
In exchange...
**[06:16] Duke**
She lets me rest my head
on her lap every day.
**[06:20] Duke**
It's so relaxing.
**[06:21] Zain**
No fair!
**[06:22] Zain**
That's no fair!
**[06:24] Ringmaster**
So? I heard you wanted to talk to me?
**[06:28] Ringmaster**
About what?
**[06:29] Duke**
Actually, I want to move into town.
**[06:33] Duke**
I want to work in music,
which has always been my dream.
**[06:38] Duke**
Everyone in this town is nice,
and they understand music.
**[06:44] Duke**
I won't have my family
supporting me anymore.
**[06:46] Duke**
I'll work my hardest.
**[06:48] Duke**
And I wanted to ask you about finding a
house, since you probably know the town well.
**[06:54] Ringmaster**
Sure. I'll find one that allows for pianos.
**[06:57] Ringmaster**
I'll ask an orchestra I know
if they need a pianist, too.
**[07:00] Duke**
Thank you!
**[07:02] Zain**
What happens to the mansion you live in now?
**[07:04] Duke**
They're going to renovate it
and use it as a vacation home.
**[07:06] Duke**
Mother wanted to stay
there once in a while.
**[07:09] Duke**
It's easy for us to visit, too.
**[07:11] Zain**
Which means they aren't
cutting you off totally.
**[07:15] Zain**
All that hard work paid off.
**[07:17] Duke**
It's thanks to you and Cuff.
**[07:19] Duke**
I'm really grateful.
**[07:23] Zain**
The lap thing pisses me off.
**[07:25] Duke**
Is now the time to say that?
**[07:27] Zain**
What are the others up to?
**[07:29] Zain**
Sade hasn't apologized for
kicking the crap out of me yet.
**[07:33] Duke**
I haven't seen her either.
**[07:35] Duke**
I'm planning on asking how she's doing
when I send the wedding invitation.
**[07:40] Ringmaster**
Is Amelia coming?
**[07:42] Duke**
I don't know.
**[07:43] Duke**
I'll invite her.
**[07:44] Ringmaster**
I hope she's doing well.
**[07:55] Cuff**
Well, Alice?
**[07:56] Alice**
Oh, my.
**[07:57] Cuff**
It's changed a lot, right?
**[07:59] Cuff**
We did renovations so that even
more people could enjoy it!
**[08:04] Alice**
How wonderful.
**[08:05] Alice**
I remember when you let us help you.
**[08:10] Hugo**
Alice?
**[08:12] Hugo**
It's been a long time.
**[08:13] Alice**
Oh, Hugo!
**[08:16] Alice**
Have you gotten a little taller?
**[08:18] Hugo**
You can tell?
**[08:19] Hugo**
It's just a little for now,
**[08:20] Hugo**
but someday I'll be taller than Zain!
**[08:22] Hugo**
Zain!
**[08:25] Hugo**
You're getting married, right?
**[08:27] Hugo**
Congratulations, really.
**[08:28] Hugo**
Be happy.
**[08:30] Alice**
Thank you.
**[08:36] Alice**
Looking at the members of
Gemini makes you happy, huh?
**[08:41] Cuff**
Yeah, they're my family,
and I'm proud of them!
**[08:46] Duke**
Alice!
**[08:48] Alice**
Master Victor!
**[08:49] Duke**
I missed you!
**[08:51] Alice**
I missed you, too.
**[08:53] Zain**
It's like you haven't seen
each other for three years.
**[08:56] Cuff**
Who's "Victor"?
**[08:57] Ringmaster**
I don't know.
**[08:58] Duke**
We'll be going, then.
**[09:00] Ringmaster**
Oh, one last thing.
**[09:07] Ringmaster**
We promised, right?
**[09:13] Duke**
I didn't think you remembered.
**[09:17] Ringmaster**
I don't forget the important things.
**[09:20] Ringmaster**
I'm looking forward to your marriage.
**[09:24] Duke**
Thank you.
**[09:30] Gerbera**
The young lady of the Baley household
is quite cute, isn't she?
**[09:35] Gerbera**
And the young Miss Hargot is intelligent.
**[09:37] Gerbera**
Young Miss Russel is known for her kindness.
***SIGN*** Yes, of course...
**[09:42] Gerbera**
Are you taking this seriously?
***SIGN*** Of course.
***SIGN*** But there's no hurry to get married.
**[09:49] Gerbera**
I can't have you thinking like that.
**[09:51] Gerbera**
You're the official heir now.
**[09:55] Gerbera**
Marrying and carrying on the family
name is an important part of your job.
**[10:00] Gerbera**
Do you like the girl who came
to the dance party with you?
***SIGN*** Yes. Her name is Daleth.
**[10:07] Gerbera**
I see.
**[10:09] Gerbera**
You'll have to introduce
us and tell me about her family.
**[10:12] Gerbera**
That's enough for today.
***SIGN*** Yes, I will soon.
**[10:17] Walter**
*Introduce her? I haven't seen her lately...*
**[10:21] Walter**
*Maybe she's busy?*
**[10:23] Walter**
* Maybe she's forgotten about*
* the kiss and the marriage?*
**[10:26] Walter**
*Maybe she rejected me.*
**[10:30] Gerbera**
So you're Daleth's older sister?
**[10:34] Sade**
Yes, my sister and Walter seem
to be getting along splendidly,
**[10:39] Sade**
so we came to introduce ourselves.
**[10:41] Sade**
Oh, and if you're worried about our family
lineage, we clear that hurdle fine.
**[10:45] Sade**
We're the bosses of an entire
country... Royals, in a way!
**[10:52] Gerbera**
I see.
**[10:54] Sade**
I have some personality issues,
but Daleth is a kind, honest girl.
**[10:58] Sade**
I hope you'll consider her.
**[11:02] Gerbera**
I raised Walter strictly.
**[11:05] Gerbera**
I trust his ability to judge someone.
**[11:08] Gerbera**
I'm sure he'll choose someone appropriate,
**[11:12] Gerbera**
both in terms of social
standing and personality.
**[11:15] Gerbera**
He just told me he likes Daleth.
**[11:19] Gerbera**
If Walter... if my child chooses Daleth,
then I will respect his choice.
**[11:27] Gerbera**
I'm sure that's the best choice.
**[11:30] Sade**
*There's no deception in her words.*
**[11:32] Sade**
* I remember when she married*
* into this family.*
**[11:35] Sade**
*She was awkward, but always serious.*
**[11:40] Sade**
All right. I'll be going, then.
**[11:53] Sharon**
Gerbera, for tonight's dinner...
**[11:55] Sade**
* Oh, no. I missed my chance*
* to apologize to Sharon!*
**[12:00] Daleth**
Um, do you remember what I said about
needing a kiss to become human?
***SIGN*** Of course I do.
**[12:09] Daleth**
Um, how did it go again?
***SIGN*** What's that?
**[12:12] Daleth**
Um, this is... To tell you the truth,
**[12:15] Daleth**
the other witches all thought
of a way for me to kiss you.
**[12:20] Daleth**
Sorry for deciding on my own.
***SIGN*** Everyone loves you, right?
**[12:26] Daleth**
And so, everyone thought up
a romantic first kiss.
**[12:32] Daleth**
I'd like to do them all, to be fair, but...
***SIGN*** ...meet up at the bottom of the swamp. Drink the swamp water, and then each of you can recite 100,000 things you like as you go for a walk.
***SIGN*** ...and it's also fun to fall down the canyon. For a date, you need yummy food and a view of the night. After the meal you can 2466755832738651...
***SIGN*** ...I like food with needles in it, and weird organs. It would make me happy if you could eat them together. I have a spot I recommend for a night view...
***SIGN*** ...in the shape of a mountain, and you can stab yourselves on the pointy rock and gaze out at the incredible view.
***SIGN*** ...blind you, so you can wash your eyes in the black sea to cure them. If the sea's in a good mood, you'll get better. By that time it'll be good...
***SIGN*** ...Go to a graveyard. Graveyard dates are big deal for witches. They're romantic with all those ghosts flying around. I slept...
***SIGN*** ...great great great great grandpa came back as a ghost. Make sure Walter isn't pulled under one of the graves...
***SIGN*** All of these?
***SIGN*** ...eat together. The second meal you can... it'll make a fun date if you do it together.
Capture pumpkins and cook them in a cauldron.... Be careful they like eyeballs. My great great great...
***SIGN*** Now go someplace you can play. There's a fun... If you get carried off, you won't come back alive, though...
***SIGN*** You can find out their fate at... is also a fun thing to play.
There's also sweets...
**[12:37] Daleth**
I did the math, and it would
take about 25 years.
***SIGN*** Oh, Walter doesn't eat many sweets, does he? They serve the coffee at ... C so it melts your tongue. Wait for it to cool...
***SIGN*** ...something horrible will happen. If you drink at precisely 444C, it's actually amazing. It's not fortune-telling, it's magic, so it really works...
***SIGN*** ...Everybody's a zombie, but there are all these cute fish, and you can hold hands... The zombie fish will attack
***SIGN*** ...so you should try to dodge. You could attack them back but they're zombies so... Oh, and the vampire's castle is a tourist spot...
...think humans are food, so not a good idea. The two of you can walk together forever until you can't see it anymore...
***SIGN*** It would be great if he learned more about the Witches' World. It will take ... years to do it all, but it's worth the trouble...
***SIGN*** ...can explain that after the explanation of your date plan... snaps all the leg bones and it's still black...
***SIGN*** Let's do it now.
**[12:48] Daleth**
Okay.
***SIGN*** I've always loved you.
**[12:56] Viola**
They're kissing! Kissing!
***SIGN*** Her magic? Oh, no!
***SIGN*** Sade...
**[13:15] Sade**
We don't want it infecting
someone, so I destroyed it!
**[13:25] Daleth**
I can't use my magic!
**[13:27] Daleth**
I can't use it, Sister!
**[13:30] Keto**
I don't feel any magic from Daleth!
**[13:32] Teto**
It worked.
**[13:33] Sade**
Come on. It's not us you
should be talking to.
**[13:39] Daleth**
Walter!
**[13:40] Daleth**
I love you more than anyone in the world!
**[13:45] Daleth**
I love you!
**[13:48] Daleth**
*Walter! I love you!*
**[13:50] Keto**
Looking good!
**[13:50] Viola**
Ah, young love...
**[13:57] Rob**
I'm so happy!
**[14:05] Duke**
I always wanted to do this for you.
**[14:07] Duke**
Thank you for all you did to raise me.
**[14:10] Rob**
Not at all.
**[14:11] Rob**
I'm a happy man.
**[14:15] Duke**
Did you decide what you'll do now?
**[14:19] Rob**
Not yet, no.
**[14:22] Duke**
It may be selfish, but I'd like the
three of us to still live together.
**[14:27] Duke**
I can't imagine life without you.
**[14:30] Duke**
Well, Viola probably wants
you to go live with her.
**[14:34] Duke**
If you want to continue being
a butler, that might be best.
**[14:38] Rob**
What job I have doesn't matter to me.
**[14:41] Rob**
It also sounds fun to borrow
those strange glasses,
**[14:43] Rob**
and journey with the master and Liz.
**[14:48] Duke**
Is that enough?
**[14:50] Rob**
Yes, I feel much better.
**[14:53] Rob**
I'm a blessed man
to have so many choices.
**[14:58] Rob**
Life is fun at any age.
**[15:05] Duke**
I hope the way I said it
didn't put pressure on him.
**[15:10] Duke**
I want Rob to live the way he wants to.
**[15:13] Alice**
Rob is someone who can
put his own needs first.
**[15:16] Alice**
I'm sure it'll be fine.
**[15:18] Duke**
This is from Nico and the others.
**[15:22] Duke**
"Thank you for the
invitation to your wedding."
**[15:25] Nico**
I'm afraid that in my current physical
condition, coming to town would be difficult.
**[15:31] Nico**
I'll send some flowers instead.
**[15:34] Nico**
Congratulations on
your upcoming marriage.
**[15:36] Ichi**
Use nicer handwriting!
**[15:38] Flea**
I want a letter from
you too, Brother Nico.
**[15:42] Nico**
I'm looking forward to
seeing them all someday.
**[15:46] Ichi**
As are the two of us.
**[15:48] Flea**
I want your autograph, too.
**[15:51] Duke**
"Take good care of yourself. Nico."
**[15:56] Alice**
And this is from Evelyn.
**[15:58] Alice**
She expresses her regrets
at not being able to attend,
**[16:01] Alice**
and says that she's starting to study
so that she can really be a novelist.
**[16:06] Duke**
That's amazing! I'll do my best, too.
**[16:09] Alice**
And this is from Philip.
**[16:13] Duke**
He answered us...
**[16:16] Philip**
* Victor, first, my congratulations*
* on your marriage.*
**[16:20] Philip**
* I've always wanted to apologize for the*
* horrible things I said to you back then.*
**[16:26] Philip**
* I was so afraid of the curse that I*
* didn't think about your feelings.*
**[16:30] Philip**
*I'm sorry.*
**[16:32] Philip**
* My sister and I will both*
* be attending the ceremony.*
**[16:35] Philip**
* Let me give you my blessings, and*
* apologies, like I used to as your friend.*
**[16:40] Duke**
He doesn't need to apologize, though.
**[16:43] Duke**
Especially if he'll be my friend again.
**[16:47] Alice**
You seem happy.
**[16:49] Duke**
Yeah.
**[16:50] Duke**
I really am happy.
**[16:55] Duke**
Father looked like he was doing well.
**[16:58] Gerbera**
He was happy to see you.
**[17:01] Gerbera**
It always bothered him.
**[17:03] Gerbera**
"When is Victor's curse going
to be broken?" he'd ask.
**[17:05] Duke**
I'm glad I can finally give him good news.
**[17:09] Duke**
And he accepted my selfishness, too.
**[17:12] Gerbera**
If Walter takes over the family,
I'll finally be able to relax.
**[17:18] Gerbera**
I'll be able to come here more often, too.
**[17:24] Duke**
* I didn't know Mother could*
* make an expression like that.*
**[17:29] Duke**
What's that flower?
**[17:30] Gerbera**
A viola.
**[17:32] Gerbera**
Your sister's named after these.
**[17:34] Gerbera**
A viola is small, but lives
life to the fullest...
**[17:36] Gerbera**
It looks down like it's embarrassed...
**[17:38] Gerbera**
Such a cute flower.
**[17:45] Gerbera**
Take care of your appearance.
**[17:48] Gerbera**
Or don't blame me if Alice
decides to dump you.
**[17:52] Gerbera**
Victor?
**[17:54] Duke**
I'm sorry... I always thought
you didn't care about me.
**[18:00] Duke**
But I was wrong.
**[18:01] Duke**
I was just scared of you, that's all.
**[18:04] Duke**
I used the curse as an excuse.
I didn't try to believe in you.
**[18:11] Duke**
You were waiting for me
for so long, and I... I...
**[18:15] Gerbera**
Your hair's always been a mess.
**[18:18] Gerbera**
You've always been such a crybaby...
**[18:28] Gerbera**
and ever so, so kind.
**[18:34] Cuff**
How can you oversleep on such
an important day, lazy butt?
**[18:37] Zain**
I was up too late practicing my speech.
**[18:40] Cuff**
And don't you have anything
to say about my outfit?
**[18:45] Zain**
Y-You look super cute.
**[18:51] Viola**
This is for me?
**[18:53] Rob**
Yes. I'm sorry it took until today,
**[18:57] Rob**
but this is my thanks for the
handkerchief you gave me before.
**[19:00] Viola**
It's so cute!
**[19:02] Viola**
Thank you!
**[19:03] Rob**
Think of me when you see it, and put
it up somewhere in your room, perhaps.
**[19:10] Viola**
So you're not coming back, then.
**[19:14] Rob**
No. I appreciate the invitation, of course,
**[19:17] Rob**
but I can't leave His Grace and Alice.
**[19:22] Rob**
I want to keep watching over them.
**[19:26] Viola**
Okay, but I'll come to see you every day!
**[19:30] Rob**
I'll be waiting.
**[19:32] Rob**
Mistress Viola, have you thought
about your future at all?
**[19:38] Viola**
It makes me happy when the things
I do give someone else confidence.
**[19:44] Viola**
Making clothes, putting on their
makeup, doing their hair...
**[19:48] Viola**
That's all it takes to
make everyone so happy.
**[19:51] Viola**
I don't know if it's my future,
since it's just a hobby.
**[19:55] Viola**
But someday I want to have a job
that encourages other people.
**[19:59] Rob**
That's a wonderful dream.
**[20:01] Viola**
Really?
**[20:04] Ringmaster**
I'm surprised.
**[20:05] Amelia**
Sade used her magic.
**[20:08] Amelia**
Do I look weird?
**[20:10] Ringmaster**
No, you look wonderful, Amelia.
**[20:12] Amelia**
I-I do?
**[20:15] Ringmaster**
I touched you!
**[20:19] Sade**
I always felt I owed you an apology.
**[20:22] Sade**
But I kept missing my chance.
**[20:25] Sade**
So today, I want to be done with that.
**[20:28] Sade**
I was jealous of you.
**[20:31] Sade**
It felt like you came out of
nowhere and stole Victor from me.
**[20:35] Sade**
So I tested you, in essence.
**[20:37] (Flashback) Sade**
Take a bite from this apple,
and you'll sleep forever.
**[20:41] (Flashback) Sade**
But in exchange, I'll heal your
daughter's illness for good.
**[20:46] (Flashback) Sade**
Which will you choose?
**[20:54] Sade**
I apologize for cursing you and
putting you into a long slumber.
**[20:58] Sade**
I'm sorry.
**[21:00] Sharon**
I'm grateful to you.
**[21:02] Sharon**
Because you kept your
promise and cured Alice.
**[21:07] Sharon**
If you really hated me, you
could've refused to help her.
**[21:12] Sharon**
But you kept your promise.
**[21:16] Sharon**
Thanks to you,
Alice reunited with His Grace.
**[21:20] Sharon**
The two of them fell in love.
**[21:22] Sharon**
Thank you, Sade!
**[21:24] Sade**
W-Well, let's be friends again.
**[21:28] Sharon**
Sure thing!
**[21:29] Sharon**
Now, the ceremony is beginning!
**[21:32] Sharon**
Let's hurry!
**[21:34] Sade**
*She always gets close to you so fast.*
**[23:02] Narr**
*Can you imagine having once led a life*
**[23:05] Narr**
* where you couldn't even*
* touch the person you loved?*
**[23:12] Narr**
* The curse the witch laid upon him caused*
* him to take the lives of any he touched.*
**[23:18] Narr**
* His own mother distanced herself from him,*
* his friends called him a monster...*
**[23:23] Narr**
*Even people he'd never met*
**[23:25] Narr**
* spoke of him as "death incarnate*
* that dwells in the forest."*
**[23:29] Narr**
*But...*
**[23:30] Narr**
*She was always by his side.*
**[23:37] Duke**
Alice.
**[23:38] Alice**
Your Grace.
